                      INTERNATIONAL MERCANTILE CORPORATION
                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                    FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1999

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying  unaudited  financial  statements of  International  Mercantile
Corporation, (the "Company"),  reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion
of  management,  necessary  to a fair  statement  of the  results of the interim
periods  presented.  All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.  The
financial  statements  should be read in conjunction with the notes to financial
statements  contained in the  Company's  Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 1998.


2. NET INCOME PER SHARE

Shares  used in  calculating  basic and  diluted  net  income  per share were as

3. ACCOUNTING FOR INCOME TAXES

The Company follows  Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards  ("SFAS") No.
109,  "Accounting  for Income  Taxes,"  which  requires  an asset and  liability
approach of accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
computed  annually for  differences  between  financial  statement basis and tax
basis  of  assets,   liabilities  and  available  general  business  tax  credit
carry-forwards.  A valuation  allowance is established  when necessary to reduce
deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.



4. MARKETABLE SECURITIES

The Company adopted Financial  Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Statement No.
115,  "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities",  which
requires that  investments in equity  securities that have readily  determinable
fair  values  and   investments  in  debt  securities  be  classified  in  three
categories:  held-to-maturity,  trading  and  available-for-sale.  Based  on the
nature of the assets held by the Company and Management's  investment  strategy,
the Company's investments have been classified as available-for-sale. Management
determines  the  appropriate  classification  of debt  securities at the time of
purchase  and  reevaluates  such  designation  as of each  balance  sheet  date.
Securities classified as available-for-sale are carried at estimated fair value,
as determined by quoted market prices,  with unrealized gains and losses, net of
tax, reported in a separate  component of stockholders'  equity. At December 31,
1998 and March 31, 1999, the Company had no investments  that were classified as
trading or held-to-maturity as defined by the Statement.

subscriptions for all 80 Units or December 31, 1999, unless extended in the sole

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
              For the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1999
                ------------------------------------------------

Except for the description of historical facts contained  herein,  this Form 10Q
contains certain forward looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties
as  detailed  herein  and from time to time in the  Company's  filings  with the
Securities and Exchange  Commission and elsewhere.  Such statements are based on
management's  current  expectations  and are  subject to a number of factors and
uncertainties  which could cause actual results to differ  materially from those
described  in the  forward-looking  statements.  These  factors  include,  among
others,  the  Company's  fluctuations  in sales  and  operating  results,  risks
associated  with  international  operations  and  regulatory,   competitive  and
contractual risks and product development.

Results of  operations  for the three months ended March 31, 1999 as compared to
the three months ended March 31, 1998.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Revenues  were $337,263 for the three months ended March 31, 1999 as compared to
$232,886  for the three  months  ended  March 31,  1998.  Mortgages  and related
expenses for the three months ended March 31, 1999, were $177,724 as compared to
$136,653  for the three  months  ended  March 31,  1998  representing  a cost of
mortgages related expenses of 52.7% for the three months ended March 31, 1999 as
compared to 58.7% for the three months ended March 31, 1998.

General and administrative  costs for the three months ended March 31, 1999 were
$260,716,  an decrease of 2.1% over  expenses of $266,297  for the three  months
ended March 31, 1998.


Liquidity and capital resources as of March 31, 1999.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The  Company's  cash balance was $278,168 and working  capital was $28,607 as of
March 31, 1999.

The Company's primary short-term needs for capital, which are subject to change,
are for  the  search  for  acquisitions,  operation  of the  Company's  mortgage
business and payment of the day to day operating expenses.

<PAGE>


Income tax: As of March 31, 1999,  the Company has a tax loss  carry-forward  of
$12,040,102.  The Company's ability to utilize its tax credit  carry-forwards in
future years will be subject to an annual limitation  pursuant to the "Change in
Ownership  Rules"  under  Section 382 of the Internal  Revenue Code of 1986,  as
amended.  However,  any annual  limitation  is not  expected  to have a material
adverse   effect  on  the   Company's   ability  to   utilize   its  tax  credit
carry-forwards.


The Company  expects its capital  requirements to increase over the next several
years  as  it  continues   to  develop  its  mortgage   business  and  seek  new
acquisitions,  increases sales and administration  infrastructure and embarks on
developing in-house business  capabilities and facilities.  The Company's future
liquidity  and capital  funding  requirements  will depend on numerous  factors,
including  the extent to which the  Company's  present  management  can fund the
continued capital  requirements,  the timing of regulatory actions regarding the
Company's  potential  acquisitions,  the costs and timing of expansion of sales,
marketing  activities,  facilities  expansion  needs,  and  competition  in  the
mortgage business entered into.

The  Company   believes  that  its  available  cash  and  cash  from  management
contributions will be sufficient to satisfy its funding needs for the day to day
mortgage banking activities for at least the next 12 months. Thereafter, if cash
generated  from  any  newly  acquired  or  developed   business   operations  is
insufficient to satisfy the Company's  working  capital and capital  expenditure
requirements,  the Company may be  required  to sell  additional  equity or debt
securities or obtain  additional  credit  facilities.  There can be no assurance
that such financing, if required, will be available on satisfactory terms, if at
all.

                                      PART II
