Item 1.   Security and Issuer.

          This statement relates to the common stock, par value $.001 per share
          ("Common Stock"), of iMall Inc., a Nevada corporation (the "Company").
          The address of the Company's principal executive office is 4400
          Coldwater Canyon Blvd., Suite 200, Studio City, CA 91604.

          In February 1998, the Company effected a one-for-eight reverse stock
          split. All share information contained herein gives effect to such
          stock split.

          The shares of Common Stock that are the subject of this statement are
          issuable (i) upon exercise of warrants (the "Agent's Warrants") issued
          to Commonwealth at an exercise price of $3.20 per share, and (ii) upon
          conversion of the shares of the Company's Series A Convertible
          Preferred stock, par value $.001 per share (the "Series A Preferred
          Stock"), initially at a conversion rate of ten shares of Common Stock
          for each share of Series A Preferred Stock, subject to adjustment in
          certain instances.

Item 2.   Identity and Background.

          This statement is filed jointly by Commonwealth Associates
          ("Commonwealth"), a limited partnership organized under the laws of
          New York, whose principal business is investment banking and advisory
          services, Commonwealth Management Company, Inc., the corporate general
          partner of Commonwealth (the "General Partner") and Michael S. Falk
          (the "Reporting Persons"). Mr Falk is the Chairman and controlling
          equity owner of the General Partner. The business address for
          Commonwealth, the General Partner and Mr. Falk is 830 Third Avenue,
          4th Floor, New York, New York 10022. During the past five years, none
          of the Reporting Persons has been convicted in a criminal proceeding
          or been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative
          body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding, was
          or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future
          violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to,
          federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect
          to such laws.

Item 3.   Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

          Commonwealth acquired the Agent's Warrants to purchase an aggregate of
          1,500,000 shares of Common Stock on December 5 and December 19, 1997
          for a purchase price of $40 with funds provided from working capital
          pursuant to an Agency Agreement dated as of November 26, 1997 with the
          Company (the "Agency Agreement") pursuant to which Commonwealth acted
          as placement agent in connection with a private placement (the
          "Private Placement") of Units (the "Units"), each Unit consisting of
          shares of Series A Preferred Stock and warrants (the "Warrants") to
          purchase the Company's Common Stock. In no case were any funds
          borrowed. The Warrants are exercisable at $3.20 per share for a period
          commencing December 5, 1998 and expiring on December 5, 2002. The
          Agent's Warrants are exercisable at any time during the five-year
          period commencing December 

                              (Page 5 of 12 Pages)
<PAGE>


          19, 1997 and terminating on December 5, 2002 at an exercise price of
          $3.20 per share. Further, the Agent's Warrants are convertible, at the
          option of Commonwealth, into an equal number of warrants with
          identical terms as the Warrants.

          On February 25, 1998, Commonwealth distributed an aggregate of 738,251
          Agent's Warrants to its officers and employees, including 373,307
          Agent's Warrants which were distributed to Mr. Falk, 16,196 which were
          distributed to Robert Beuret, a director and minority owner of the
          General Partner, and 11,250 which were distributed to Joseph P. Wynne,
          an executive officer of the General Partner. Commonwealth disclaims
          beneficial ownership of the Agent's Warrants held by Messrs. Beuret
          and Wynne and such individuals disclaim beneficial ownership of the
          securities beneficially owned by Commonwealth.

          Mr. Falk acquired shares of Series A Preferred Stock in the Private
          Placement, initially convertible into 46,875 shares of Common Stock,
          for a purchase price of $150,000, which amount was provided from Mr.
          Falk's personal funds. The Falk Family Foundation (the "Trust"), a
          charitable trust for which Mr. Falk serves as trustee, acquired shares
          of Series A Preferred Stock in the Private Placement, initially
          convertible into 15,625 shares of Common Stock, for a purchase price
          of $50,000, which amount was provided from Mr. Falk's personal funds.
          Mr. Falk and the Trust are herein referred to collectively as "Falk."
          In no case were any funds borrowed.

Item 4.   Purpose of Transaction.

          The Agent's Warrants were acquired by Commonwealth as compensation for
          its services in connection with the Private Placement solely for
          investment purposes and not for the purpose of acquiring control of
          the Company. The Series A Preferred Stock was acquired by Falk to make
          a profitable investment.

          The text of Item 5 of the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed
          on December 12, 1997 is hereby incorporated herein by reference to
          describe the transaction pursuant to which the Series A Preferred
          Stock, Warrants and Agent's Warrants were issued by the Company.

          Other than as set forth above, the Reporting Persons have no present
          plans or proposals which relate to, or could result in, any of the
          matters referred to in paragraphs (a) through (j), inclusive, of Item
          4 of Schedule 13D. The Reporting Persons may, at any time and from
          time to time, review or reconsider their position and formulate plans
          or proposals with respect thereto, but have no present intention of
          doing so.

Item 5.   Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

          (a)  Commonwealth is the beneficial owner of a total of 761,749
               shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 5.2% of the
               issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company.
               The General Partner is the beneficial owner of
               Commonwealth's 761,749 shares of Common Stock. Mr. Falk is the

               of an aggregate of 1,197,556 shares of Common Stock, consisting
               of (i) 62,500 shares of Common Stock which he has the right to
               acquire at any time upon conversion of the shares of Series A
               Preferred Stock held by Falk (ii) Agent's Warrants to purchase
               373,307 shares of Common Stock and (iii) the 761,749 shares of
               Common Stock beneficially owned by Commonwealth, representing
               approximately 7.9% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common
               Stock of the Company. In his capacity as Chairman and controlling
               equity owner of the General Partner, Mr. Falk shares voting and
               dispositive power with respect to the securities beneficially
               owned by Commonwealth and may be deemed to be the beneficial
               owner of such securities. The shares beneficially owned by Mr.
               Falk do not include shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise
               of 11,718 Warrants issued to him in connection with his purchase
               of Units in the Private Placement, which Warrants are not
               exercisable within 60 days of the date hereof.

               The percentages of outstanding shares of Common Stock of the
               Company set forth in the preceding paragraph is computed based on
               a total of 13,967,779 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of
               December 20, 1997, which figure includes 6,250,000 shares of
               Series A Preferred Stock. Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock
               vote together with holders of the Common Stock on the basis of
               one vote for each share of Common Stock into which the Series A
               Preferred Stock is convertible (currently, a one-for-one basis).
               If the shares of Series A Preferred Stock are excluded from
               Common Stock outstanding, Commonwealth, the General Partner and
               Mr. Falk would beneficially own approximately 9.0%, 9.0% and
               13.4%, respectively, of the issued and outstanding shares of
               Common Stock of the Company.
              
          (b)  Number of shares as to which each such person has:

               (i)  sole power to vote or to direct the vote:

                    Mr. Falk has the sole power to vote or to direct the vote of
                    the 46,875 shares owned by him and the 15,625 shares owned
                    by the Trust.

               (ii) shared power to vote or to direct the vote:

                    On December 30, 1997, Commonwealth granted to Richard
                    Rosenblatt, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, an
                    irrevocable proxy (the "Proxy") to vote the shares of Common
                    Stock issuable upon exercise of the Agent's Warrants for a
                    period of one year provided the Agent's Warrants continue to
                    be held by affiliates of Commonwealth. Accordingly, neither
                    Commonwealth, the General Partner or Mr. Falk has the power
                    to vote or to direct the vote of such shares during the term
                    of the Proxy.

              (iii) sole power to dispose or to direct the disposition of:

                    Mr. Falk has the sole power to dispose of or to direct the
                    disposition of (i) the 46,875 shares of Common Stock
                    beneficially owned by him and the 15,625 shares beneficially
                    owned by the Trust and (ii) the 373,307 shares underlying
                    his Agent's Warrants.

               (iv) shared power to dispose of or to direct the disposition of:

                    Commonwealth, the General Partner and Mr. Falk share the
                    power to dispose or direct the disposition of all of the
                    761,749 shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by
                    Commonwealth.

Item 6.   Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect
          to Securities of the Issuer.

          Under the terms of the Proxy, Commonwealth granted Richard Rosenblatt
          a one-year irrevocable proxy to vote the shares of Common Stock
          issuable upon exercise of the Agent's Warrants and any additional
          shares of Common Stock issued or issuable in respect of the Agent's
          Warrants during the term of the Proxy. The Proxy shall terminate prior
          to December 30, 1998 (i) upon the death or disability of Mr.
          Rosenblatt, (ii) if Mr. Rosenblatt is no longer serving as the
          Chairman or Chief Executive Officer of the Company, or (iii) if
          Commonwealth and its affiliates beneficially own less than 10% of the
          outstanding Common Stock of the Company.

          Pursuant to the Agency Agreement, Commonwealth has the right until
          December 5, 2000 (subject to earlier termintion in the event of
          conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock) to nominate one person for
          election to the Board of Directors of the Company or to apppoint an
          observer to attend meetings of the Board of Directors.

          Under the terms of the Subscription Agreement between the Company and
          the purchasers of Series A Preferred Stock in the Private Placement,
          the Company is required to prepare and file a registration statement
          with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") with respect
          to the Series A Preferred Stock, the Warrants and the shares of Common
          Stock underlying the Warrants and the Series A Preferred Stock.
          Pursuant to the terms of the Agent's Warrant filed as Exhibit 5
          hereto, the Company has agreed to register the shares of Common Stock
          underlying the Agent's Warrants with the SEC under certain
          circumstances.
