                      INTERNATIONAL MERCANTILE CORPORATION
                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                     FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 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 June 30, 1999,  the Company had no investments
that were classified as trading or held-to-maturity as defined by the Statement.

     The following is a summary of cash, cash equivalents and available-for-sale
securities by balance sheet classification at December 31, 1998:

from those described in the forward-looking  statements.  These factors include,

associated  with  international  operations  and  regulatory,   competitive  and
contractual risks and product development.

Results of operations  for the six months ended June 30, 1999 as compared to the
six months ended June 30, 1998.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

$443,289 for the six months ended June 30, 1998.  Mortgages and related expenses
for the six months ended June 30, 1999 were $322,555 as compared to $253,706 for

for the six months ended June 30, 1998.

General  and  administrative  costs for the six months  ended June 30, 1999 were
$442,981,  a decrease of 56.8% over  expenses of  $1,026,526  for the six months
ended June 30, 1998.  Results of operations  for the three months ended June 30,
1999 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 1999.
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Revenues  were  $204,627 for the three months ended June 30, 1999 as compared to
$210,403  for the three  months  ended  June 30,  1998.  Mortgages  and  related

Liquidity  and capital  resources as of the end of the six months ended June 30,
1999.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The  Company's  cash  balance was  $214,905  and working  capital was a negative
$18,141 as at June 30, 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 payment of the day to day operating expenses.

Income tax: As of June 30,  1999,  the Company has a tax loss  carry-forward  of
$12,213,646.  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  requirement  to increase over the next several
years as it  continues  to develop its  mortgage  business and seek new mortgage
company related 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



<PAGE>

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
