                    BAYOU INTERNATIONAL, LTD. AND SUBSIDIARY
                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                      December 31, 1997, June 30, 1997 and
                                December 31, 1996

(6)  Affiliate Transactions

      Bayou advances to and receives advances from various affiliates. All
            advances between consolidated affiliates are eliminated on
            consolidation. At December 31, 1997, Bayou had no outstanding
            advances to or from unconsolidated affiliated companies. $175,000,
            $125,000 and $69,000 of accounts payable for the years shown is due
            to an affiliated management company.

(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)   B.G. Negev Technology and Application Ltd. (AP) and the Ben Gurion
            University of the Negev - The Research and Development Authority
            (RDA), jointly and severally (APRDA):

      In accordance with an agreement dated November 5, 1981, between
            Solmecs, Ben-Gurion University and APRDA, Solmecs' subsidiary is
            continuing research and development (R&D) projects which were
            previously carried out by APRDA on the campus of Ben-Gurion
            University. It was further agreed that the University would enable
            the projects to continue on its campus in consideration for a fee
            for the use of the facilities.

                    BAYOU INTERNATIONAL, LTD. AND SUBSIDIARY
                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                      December 31, 1997, June 30, 1997 and
                                December 31, 1996

(8)  Commitments (continued)

      Solmecs owns the patents connected with these projects and agreed to pay
            royalties to APRDA at the rate of 1.75% on sales of products and at
            the rate of 11.5% on income from licensing fees.

      Solmecs also agreed to assume the obligations of APRDA to pay royalties to
            the Ministry of Energy on products developed from these R&D projects
            for its participation in the research and development cost of APRDA.
            As of December 31, 1997, this liability amounted to approximately
            $308,000 (including linkage to the Consumer Price Index and interest
            at 4% per annum). Subsequent to the repayment of the liability,
            Solmecs is to pay royalties to the Ministry of Energy (ME) at a
            reduced rate.

      Through December 31, 1997, there were no sales or income on which
            royalties were payable to APRDA or the ME.

      (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 US$1,864,000.
            Through December 31, 1997, 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
            participation 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 December
            31, 1997, no 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:

        6 months ended December 31, 1996 A$1.00 = U.S. $.7940
        6 months ended December 31, 1997 A$1.00 = U.S. $.6503

RESULTS OF OPERATION

Six  Months Ended December 31, 1997 vs. Six Months Ended December  31 1996.

Net revenue from commercial activities amounted to A$45,000 for the six months
ended December 31, 1997 compared to A$12,000 for the six months ended December
31, 1996. The major reason for the change was income from the Dead Seas Project
during the six months ended December 31, 1997.

Costs and expenses decreased from A$719,000 in the six months ended December 31,
1996 to A$632,000 in the six months ended December 31, 1997. The decrease is a
net result of:

a)    an increase in interest expense from A$124,000 for the six months ended
      December 31, 1996 to A$142,000 for the six months ended December 31, 1997
      as a result of the increase in long term debt of the Company.

b)    the increase in legal accounting and professional expense from A$45,000
      for the six months ended December 31, 1996 to A$66,000 for the six months
      ended December 31, 1997 due to costs involved with the proposed disposal
      of Solmecs Corporation N.V.

c)    the increase in administrative costs including salaries from A$113,000 in
      the six months ended December 31, 1996 to A$344,000 in the six months
      ended December 31, 1997 due to 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 and development and administration together
      with associated costs.

d)    the decrease in research & development from A$164,000 in the six months
      ended December 31, 1996 to A$74,000 in the six months ended December 31,
      1997 due to a reallocation of certain costs to administration.

e)    the decrease in amortisation of goodwill from A$267,000 for the six months
      ended December 31, 1996 to A$nil for the six months ended December 31,
      1997 as a result of goodwill associated with the acquisition of Solmecs in
      1987 being fully amortised.

As a result of the foregoing, the loss from operations decreased from A$707,000
for the six months ended December 31, 1996 to A$587,000 for the six months ended
December 31, 1997.

The Company realised a foreign exchange gain of A$1,013,000 for the six months
ended December 31, 1997 compared to a foreign currency exchange loss of A$54,000
for the six months ended December 31, 1996 caused by the movement in the
Australian dollar versus the U.S. dollar. All of the Company's loan accounts are
denominated in U.S. dollars.

Net income was A$427,000 for the six months ended December 31, 1997 compared to
a net loss of A$761,000 for the six months ended December 31, 1996.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 1997 the Company had short term obligations of A$807,000
comprising accounts payable and accrued expenses and owed an amount of
A$3,294,000 to Chevas Pty Ltd of which the President and the Chief Executive
Officer of the Company Mr. J I Gutnick is a Director. A company associated with
the party who are negotiating the purchase of Solmecs has provided loan funds to
Solmecs amounting to A$308,000. These funds are interest free.

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 fund Solmecs in order to complete the
development of the next stage of the LMMHD project together with other projects
that Solmecs is developing. As noted above a company associated with the party
who are negotiating the purchase of Solmecs have provided loan funds to Solmecs
to enable operation to continue. However, there can be no assurance that this
party will continue to provide these funds.

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.
