                    BAYOU INTERNATIONAL, LTD. AND SUBSIDIARY
                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                        March 31, 1998, June 30, 1997 and
                                 March 31, 1997


(6)  AFFILIATE TRANSACTIONS

      Bayou advances to and receives advances from various affiliates. All
         advances between consolidated affiliates are eliminated on
         consolidation. At March 31, 1998, Bayou had no outstanding advances to
         or from unconsolidated affiliated companies.


(7)  GOING CONCERN

      The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
         conformity with generally accepted accounting principles which
         contemplates continuation of Bayou and Solmecs as going concerns.
         However, both Bayou and Solmecs have sustained recurring losses. In
         addition, neither Bayou or Solmecs have any net working capital and
         both have retained stockholders' deficits which raises substantial
         doubts as to their ability to continue as going concerns.

      Bayou anticipates that it will be able to defer repayment of certain of
         its short term loan commitments until it has sufficient liquidity to
         enable these loans to be repaid or other arrangements to be put in
         place.

      In addition Bayou has historically relied on loans and advances from
         corporations affiliated with the President of Bayou. Based on
         discussions with these affiliate companies, Bayou believes this source
         of funding will continue to be available.

      Other than the arrangements noted above, Bayou has not confirmed any other
         arrangements for ongoing funding. As a result Bayou may be required to
         raise funds by additional debt or equity offerings in order to meet its
         cash flow requirements during the forthcoming year.


(8)  COMMITMENTS

      Solmecs has entered into the following commitments:

      (a) In accordance with an agreement dated November 5, 1981, between the
          Company, Ben Gurion University and B.G. Negev Technology and
          Applications Ltd. (BGU), the subsidiary in Israel is conducting
          research and development projects on the campus of Ben-Gurion
          University in consideration for a fee for the use of the facilities.
          The Company owns the patents connected with these projects and agreed
          to pay royalties to BGU at the rate of 1.725% on sales of products and
          at the rate of 11.5% on income from licensing fees.

      The Company also agreed to assume the obligation of BGU to pay royalties
          to the Ministry of National Infrastructure on products developed from
          these R&D projects for its participation in the research and
          development costs of BGU. The royalties are to be paid at the rate of
          1% on sales of products and at the rate of 5% on income from licensing
          fees. As of March 31, 1998, this liability amounted to approximately
          $318,000 (including linkage to the Consumer Price Index and interest
          at 4% per annum). Subsequent to the repayment of the liability, the
          Company is to pay royalties to the Ministry of National Infrastructure
          at a reduced rate of 0.3% on sales of products and at the rate of 2%
          on income from licensing fees.

      Through March 31, 1998, there were no sales or income on which royalties
          were payable to BGU and the Ministry of National Infrastructure.

                        March 31, 1998, June 30, 1997 and
                                 March 31, 1997


(8)  COMMITMENTS (CONTINUED)

      (b) International Lead Zinc Research Organization (ILZRO)

      In connection with a research contract with ILZRO, Solmecs' subsidiary
          agreed to pay ILZRO a fee for any lead used in future production by
          the subsidiary. The total fee commitment is limited to $1,864,000.
          Through March 31, 1998, the subsidiary has not used any lead for which
          it is required to pay fees.

      (c) Chief Scientist of the Government of Israel

      For the period from 1981 to 1991, Solmecs' subsidiary received
          participations from the Chief Scientist of $2,274,420 towards the cost
          of a research and development project. In return, the subsidiary is
          required to pay royalties at the rate of 2% of sales of know-how or
          products derived from the project. Through March 31, 1998, there were
          no sales on which royalties were payable.

(9)  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

      In March 1997, Bayou commenced negotiations with SCNV Acquisition Corp
          ("SCNV") for the sale of Bayou's subsidiary Solmecs to SCNV. A letter
          of intent was signed on May 5, 1997 and agreements to effect the sale
          are in the process of being negotiated. It is intended that, as part
          of the sale of Solmecs, Bayou will acquire a 24% interest in SCNV.

      The sale of Solmecs is subject to the approval of shareholders of Bayou.
          Following the signing of formal contracts for the sale of Solmecs,
          Bayou will prepare and distribute an Information Memorandum for the
          purpose of seeking shareholder approval. In the event that the sale of
          Solmecs is consummated, of which there can be no assurance, the
          Company intends to seek other business activities for the Company,
          which may be in the fields of energy conversion and conservation
          and/or other industries, including the mineral exploration industry.
          It is the policy of the Board of Directors of the Company that the
          Company will not engage in any activities the scope and nature of
          which would subject the Company to the registration and reporting
          requirements of the Investment Company Act of 1940.

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
          AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

FUND COSTS CONVERSION

The consolidated statements of income and other financial and operating data
contained elsewhere here in and the consolidated balance sheets and financial
results have been reflected in Australian dollars unless otherwise stated.

The following table shows the average rate of exchange of the Australian dollar
as compared to the US dollar during the periods indicated:

          9 months ended March 31, 1997 A$1.00 = U.S. $.7860
          9 months ended March 31, 1998 A$1.00 = U.S. $.6622


RESULTS OF OPERATION

NINE  MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998 VS. NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH  31, 1997.

Total revenues amounted to A$48,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 1998,
compared to A$12,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 1997. The major reasons
for the increase were photovoltaics sales and income from the Dead Seas Project.

Costs and expenses decreased from A$1,142,000 in the nine months ended March 31,
1997, to A$1,043,000 in the nine months ended March 31, 1998. The decrease is
the net result of:

      (a) an increase in interest expense from A$189,000 in the nine months
          ended March 31, 1997, to A$231,000 in the nine months ended March 31,
          1998, as a result of the increase in long term debt of the Company.

      (b) an increase in legal, accounting and professional expenses from
          A$51,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 1997, to A$97,000 in the
          nine months ended March 31, 1998, due to costs involved with the
          disposal of Solmecs Corporation N.V.

      (c) a decrease in amortization of goodwill from A$400,000 for the nine
          months ended March 31, 1997, to A$nil for the nine months ended March
          31, 1998, as a result of goodwill associated with the acquisition of
          Solmecs in 1987 being fully amortized.

      (d) an increase in administrative costs including salaries from A$196,000
          in the nine months ended March 31, 1997, to A$606,000 in the nine
          months ended March 31, 1998, due to:

          (i)  the reorganisation of the operations whereby the administration
               of Solmecs (Israel) Ltd was moved from Ben-Gurion University to
               Omer Industrial Park to provide greater accommodation for
               research, development and administration together with associated
               costs; and

          (ii) marketing expenses of the boiler and magnesium pump projects.

      (e) a decrease in research and development from A$297,000 for the nine
          months ended March 31, 1997, to A$99,000 for the nine months ended
          March 31, 1998, due to less research and development being undertaken
          by both staff and subcontractors.

As a result of the foregoing, the loss from operations decreased from
$A1,130,000 in the nine months ended March 31, 1997, to A$995,000 in the nine
months ended March 31, 1998. The Company did not realise a foreign exchange gain
or loss for the nine months ended March 31, 1997, compared with a foreign
exchange gain of A$873,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 1998 caused by
the movement in the Australian dollar compared with the US dollar. All of the
Company's loan accounts are denominated in US dollars.

The Company incurred a net loss of A$1,130,000 for the nine months ended March
31, 1997, compared with a loss of A$121,000 for the nine months ended March 31,
1998.


                                       11
<PAGE>   12
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of March 31, 1998 the Company had short term obligations of A$1,140,000
comprising Short Term Notes and accounts payable and accrued expenses and long
term obligations of A$3,753,000 consisting of an amount of A$3,451,000 to Chevas
Pty Ltd of which the President and the Chief Executive Officer of the Company
Mr. J I Gutnick is a Director and A$302,000 to an affiliate of Solmecs.

The Company anticipates that it will be able to defer repayment of certain of
its short term loan commitments until it has sufficient liquidity to enable
these loans to be repaid which there can be no assurance. In addition the
Company has historically relied upon loans and advances from affiliates to meet
a significant portion of the Company's cash flow requirements which the Company
believes based on discussions with such affiliates will continue to be available
during fiscal 1998 and 1999.

The Company will still be required to locate substantial additional financing to
permit Solmecs to complete the development of the next stage of the LMMHD
project together with other projects that Solmecs is developing.

Other than the arrangements above the Company has not confirmed any further
arrangements for ongoing funding. As a result the Company may be required to
raise funds from additional debt or equity offerings and/or increase the
revenues from operations in order to meet its cash flow requirements during the
forthcoming year.
