                    AUTOCORP EQUITIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)
                                 March 31, 1999

NOTE 1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         In the opinion of the Company,  the  accompanying  unaudited  condensed
         consolidated  financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to
         present fairly its financial position and the results of its operations
         and cash flows for the periods shown.

         Certain prior period amounts have been  reclassified  to conform to the
         current period's presentation.

         The  preparation  of the Company's  financial  statements in conformity
         with generally  accepted  accounting  principles  necessarily  requires
         management to make estimates and  assumptions  that affect the reported
         amounts of assets and liabilities  and disclosure of contingent  assets
         and  liabilities  at the  date  of the  financial  statements  and  the
         reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting  period.
         Actual  results  could  differ  from those  estimates.  The  results of
         operations for the respective  three month periods are not  necessarily
         indicative of the results to be expected for a full year of operations.

         These unaudited condensed  consolidated  financial statements should be
         read in conjunction with the Company's annual report of Form 10-KSB for
         the year ended September 30, 1998.

         A summary of significant  accounting policies is currently on file with
         the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 10-KSB.

         During the three and six months ended March 31, 1999 and the year ended
         September 30, 1998, the Company's  operations were negatively  impacted
         by  the  poor   performance  of  its  automobile  sales  and  financing
         subsidiaries.  The Company has a shareholder  deficit of  approximately
         $5,100,000  at  March  31,  1999 and a  history  of  operating  losses.
         Management's plans to return to profitability are three-fold. First, to
         divest itself of the non-productive subsidiaries by exchanging them for
         stock  held  by  the  Merritt  Group,  a  related  party  comprised  of
         individuals  who were  officers  of the  Company  (see Note 11  below).
         Second,  to reduce debt and make  arrangements  to reduce the Company's
         exposure  to  further  liability  by  tendering  equity  securities  to
         AutoPrime (see note 7 below) in satisfaction of the Company's liability
         to AutoPrime. Third, to achieve operational profitability by purchasing
         and generating higher quality notes receivable.

NOTE 1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION (continued)

         It is not  possible to predict the success of  management's  subsequent
         efforts to achieve  profitability.  If  management is unable to achieve
         its goals, the Company may find it necessary to undertake other actions
         as may be appropriate.

         The accompanying  condensed  consolidated  financial  statements do not
         include   any   adjustments   relating   to  the   recoverability   and
         classification  of  the  recorded  asset  amounts  or the  amounts  and
         classification  of  liabilities  that  might be  necessary  should  the
         Company be unable to continue in existence.

         and $317,014 was available.

NOTE 4.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

         The  Company  leases  office  space and auto lots under  noncancellable
         operating lease  agreements  which require monthly  payments of $14,904
         per month and expire in August 1999.  Future  minimum  annual  payments
         required under the lease are $22,535 at March 31, 1999.

         The Company sells used automobiles using auto financing contracts.  The
         Company then sells the contracts to a finance company,  generally under
         a recourse  agreement,  whereby the Company guarantees the repayment of
         the note. If the note holder  defaults,  the Company is responsible for
         repossessing  the  automobile and then either paying the amount due the
         finance company or substituting a new loan for the one in default.

         In October 1997,  the Company  entered into an agreement with AutoPrime
         to provide  financing for the Company's  automobile  transactions.  The
         agreement  allows  AutoPrime to buy the notes at a  percentage  of face
         value  (averaging  approximately  75%) and then to pay the  Company  an
         additional  percentage  (averaging  approximately 15%) on all principal
         collections.  The loss ratios of the notes sold have been much  greater
         than expected to date.  However,  with the change in  management  and a
         change in the Company's  lending criteria,  management  expects to have
         better loan collection results in future periods. The loan balances and

         3,237,956 preferred shares (net of 262,044 shares released from pledge)
         issued to  AutoPrime  (in trust),  and is  contingently  liable for the
         issuance of additional preferred shares as may be necessary to maintain
         such value.


NOTE 5.  PURCHASE OF LOAN PORTFOLIOS

         In March  1999,  the  Company  purchased  three  portfolios  of finance
         contracts  secured by used  automobiles  from an auto  dealership.  The
         Company purchased the portfolios totaling $811,935 at rates from 55% to
         68% (resulting in total  discounts of $293,656).  The Company then sold
         the notes on a full  recourse  basis to  AutoPrime  for 84% of the face
         value of the loans.  The  purchase of the notes was booked as a cost of
         sales and the sale of the notes was recorded as revenue.


NOTE 6.  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

         AutoPrime  sold  contracts to the Merritt  Group and  affiliates in  an
         aggregate  amount of  approximately  $3,000,000,  and advanced  certain
         additional   funds,  all   represented  by  promissory  notes  accruing
         interest at 10% per annum.  The Company was a co-maker of the notes and
         AutoPrime offset interest due on the  loans and principal  payments due
         on the notes with funds due to the  Company.  The  balances  of amounts
         owed to AutoPrime, primarily as a result of repurchase obligations,  at
         March 31, 1999 and September 30, 1998 were  $2,388,441 and  $5,678,208,
         respectively.  The Company issued two promissory notes to AutoPrime  in
         April 1999 to restructure this balance payable (see Note 7 below).


NOTE 7.  SUBSEQUENT EVENT

         In April  1999,  the  Company  issued  two  promissory  notes  totaling
         $2,534,666 to AutoPrime for the balance due AutoPrime at that date. The
         notes require monthly payments of $50,000 plus interest at 9% per annum
         commencing June 1, 1999.

Results of Operations

Net sales of used  automobiles for the six months ended March 31, 1999 decreased
31% to $2,383,000 from  $3,458,000 for the comparable  period of the prior year.
The  Company  had only two car lots at March 31,  1999 as opposed to six lots at
March 31, 1998.  Revenues from servicing of notes increased 74% to $639,000 from
$368,000  for the six months  ended March 31, 1999 due to the Company  servicing
higher-quality notes as well as a higher volume of notes.

Gross profit margins on used automobiles for the six months ended March 31, 1999
improved  to 23.2% from 6.9% for the six months  ended March 31,  1998.  For the
quarter  ended  March 31,  1999  gross  profit  margins  improved  to 17.9% from
11.1%for the comparable  quarter in the previous year.  Management  believes the
margin increases are attributable to more experienced staff,  improved training,
procedural  improvements  in  operations,  and  the  acquisition  of  used  cars
available for sale. Gross profit margins from the servicing of notes for the six
months ended March 31, 1999 were 90%. The Company did not start  servicing notes
until the fourth quarter of 1998.

General  and  administrative  expenses  increased  8%  (approximately  $147,000)
compared to the six month  period  ended March 31,  1998,  while for the quarter
ended March 31, 1999  general and  administrative  expenses  increased by 103.3%
(approximately $680,000) when compared to the comparable quarter in the previous
year.  These  increases are due primarily to additional  legal and  professional
fees associated  with the Company's  Annual Form 10-K, more employees and higher
rents.

Operating  losses  decreased by more than $838,000 to $(541,259),  when compared
with the six months ended March 31, 1998.  For the quarter ending March 31, 1999
operating  losses decreased more than $347,448 to $(59,063) from the same period
in the previous year.

Non-operating  income  during  the six months  ended  March 31,  1999  increased
approximately  $595,000  primarily  due to the  gain on the  disposition  of the
Company's subsidiaries in December 1998.

         Interest  expense  increased  by about  95.2% as  compared to the prior
year's six month period ended March 31, due primarily to increased borrowings to
finance the Company's used car inventory and to service the debt to AutoPrime.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         The  Company's  working  capital  deficiency  at  March  31,  1999  was
$2,788,000  compared  to  $8,200,000  at  September  30,  1998.  The  $5,412,000
improvement  in working  capital  was largely  the result of the  reduction  and
restructuring  of the debt to AutoPrime  in December  1998 of  $4,700,000,  less
$200,000  in  capital  expenditures,  and the  conversion  $700,000  of  current
maturities of long-term debt to stock.

Year 2000 Compliance

         We are working to address and prepare for the  potential  impact of the
year 2000 on the ability of our computerized  information  systems to accurately
process  information  that  may be  date-sensitive.  Any of  our  programs  that
recognize  a date  using "00" as the year 1900  rather  than the year 2000 could
result in errors or system  failures.  We utilize a number of computer  programs
across our entire operation. We have not completed our assessment, but currently
we believe  that the costs of  addressing  this issue will not have a materially
adverse impact on our financial position.
