                  WORLD WIDE STONE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                               SEPTEMBER 30, 1999
                                   (UNAUDITED)



(1) INTERIM FINANCIAL REPORTING:

The accompanying  unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting   principles  for  interim
financial information and the instructions to Form 10-QSB. Accordingly,  they do
not include all the  information  and footnotes  required by generally  accepted
accounting  principles  for  complete  financial  statements.  In the opinion of
management,  all adjustments  (which include only normal recurring  adjustments)
necessary to present  fairly the financial  position,  results of operations and
cash flows for the periods  presented  have been made. The results of operations
for the  three-month  and  nine-month  periods ended  September 30, 1999 are not
necessarily  indicative  of the  operating  results that may be expected for the
entire year ending December 31, 1999. These financial  statements should be read
in  conjunction  with the Company's  Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31,
1998.

(2) INVENTORY:

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market.  Inventory and cost of goods
sold include all operating costs incurred at the two factories in Mexico as well
as freight charges from Mexico to the United States. Included in these operating
costs was  depreciation of property,  plant and equipment of $99,584 and $72,315
for the three  months  ended  September  30,  1999 and 1998,  respectively,  and
$269,142 and $216,945  for the nine months  ended  September  30, 1999 and 1998,
respectively.  As of September  30, 1999,  inventory was located at the plant in
Durango, Mexico, at a showroom-warehouse in Phoenix, Arizona, and at a warehouse
in El Paso, Texas.  Inventory at September 30, 1999,  consists of finished goods
and raw materials of $1,019,882 and $300,612, respectively.

(3) EARNINGS PER SHARE:

The Company  utilizes  SFAS No. 128,  EARNINGS PER SHARE,  to compute  basic and
diluted earnings per share.  Because the Company has no outstanding  convertible
securities or other common stock  equivalents,  there is no  difference  between
amounts  reported for weighted  average common shares and earnings per share for
basic and diluted amounts.

                                      -7-
<PAGE>
(4) FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION:

The Company's wholly-owned Mexican subsidiaries maintain their books and records
in Mexican  pesos.  Their  functional  currency,  however,  is the U.S.  dollar.
Therefore,  these  subsidiaries  utilize  the  remeasurement  method of  foreign
currency translation when consolidated.

The  remeasurement  method of foreign currency  converts all monetary assets and
liabilities  from Mexican pesos to U.S.  dollars at the current rate of exchange
at the balance sheet date. All nonmonetary  assets and liabilities are converted
at the historical  rates that were present when the particular  transaction took
place. Revenue and expenses from the statements of operations are converted from
Mexican  pesos  to  U.S.  dollars  at  a  weighted   average   conversion  rate.
Depreciation,  amortization,  and similar  historical-cost-based  expenses use a
historical-based   rate.   Remeasurement   gains  and  losses   resulting   from
transactions  that are  short-term  in  nature  are  reported  in the  Company's
consolidated   statements  of  operations  as  foreign  currency   remeasurement
adjustments.   Remeasurement   gains  or  losses  resulting  from   intercompany
transactions  that are long-term in nature are reported as a separate  component
of stockholders' equity as a cumulative remeasurement adjustment.

(5) RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

In January  1999,  an officer of the  Company  acquired  the  building  that the
Company  leases for its  corporate  offices in  Phoenix,  Arizona.  Because  the
Company  entered  into the  lease  with a third  party  prior  to the  officer's
acquisition  of the building,  the Company  believes that the terms of the lease
are no less  favorable to the Company  than it could obtain from  non-affiliated
parties.

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

STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

The  statements  contained  in this  Report on Form  10-QSB  that are not purely
historical are  forward-looking  statements within the meaning of Section 27A of
the  Securities  Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the  Securities  Exchange Act of
1934,   including    statements   regarding   the   Company's    "expectations,"
"anticipation,"  "intentions,"  "beliefs," or "strategies" regarding the future.
Forward-looking   statements  include  statements  regarding  revenue,  margins,
expenses, and earnings analysis for fiscal 1999 and thereafter;  future products
or  product  development  efforts;   spending  for  acquisitions  of  additional
equipment or expansion of production  facilities;  and liquidity and anticipated
cash needs and availability.  All  forward-looking  statements  included in this
Report are based on  information  available to the Company as of the filing date
of this  Report,  and the  Company  assumes  no  obligation  to update  any such
forward-looking  statements.  It is important to note that the Company's  actual
results could differ materially from those in such forward-looking statements as
a result of a variety of factors,  including  those  identified in the Company's
Form 10-KSB for the year ended  December 31, 1998, as filed with the  Securities
and Exchange Commission.

INTRODUCTION

The Company  quarries,  manufactures,  and markets a wide variety of dimensional
stone products. The Company extracts marble limestone and travertine blocks from
quarries  located in Mexico.  The Company then  transports  the blocks to plants
operated by its wholly-owned Mexican subsidiaries in Durango,  Durango,  Mexico,
where the blocks are cut,  honed,  polished or  tumbled,  then  dimensioned  and
packaged.  The Company markets its dimensional  stone products  primarily in the
United  States and Canada  through  distributors,  dealers,  and  designers.  In
addition, the Company sells nominal quantities of its products in Europe.

RESULTS OF  OPERATIONS OF THE COMPANY FOR THE THREE MONTHS AND NINE MONTHS ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 1999

REVENUE. The Company's revenue for the three months ended September 30, 1999 was
$1,860,900,  which  represents a 52% increase over revenue of $1,221,792 for the
three months ended September 30, 1998. The Company's revenue for the nine months
ended  September 30, 1999 was $4,567,585,  which  represents a 43% increase over
revenue of $3,183,134 for the nine months ended  September 30, 1998. The Company
attributes  the increases in revenue to increased  market  acceptance and demand
for its products and its ability to sell additional  volume through its stocking
distributors.

COST OF GOODS SOLD; GROSS PROFIT. Cost of goods sold was $898,382 and $2,316,805
during the three and nine months  ended  September  30, 1999,  respectively,  as
compared  with  $574,825 and  $1,507,333  during the three and nine months ended
September  30, 1998,  respectively.  Gross profit as a percentage of revenue was
52%  and  49%  for  the  three  and  nine  months  ended   September  30,  1999,
respectively, compared to 53% for both the three and nine months ended September
30, 1998.  The decrease in gross profit as a percentage of revenue over the nine
month period ended  September 30, 1999  resulted  from excess costs  incurred to
fill two  specialty  orders of  specific  stone color and  dimension  during the
second quarter of 1999. The Company  rarely  accepts  speciality  orders and has
adopted  procedures  to reduce the  likelihood  that it will  accept  speciality
orders in the future that may ultimately prove to be unprofitable.  There can be
no assurance, however, that the Company will not incur unanticipated expenses in
connection with specialty orders that it accepts in the future.

SELLING,   GENERAL,   AND   ADMINISTRATIVE   EXPENSE.   Selling,   general   and
administrative  expense  increased  to $465,315  during the three  months  ended
September  30, 1999 from  $313,453  during the three months ended  September 30,
1998. Selling, general, and administrative expense represented approximately 25%
of revenue  during  both the three  months  ended  September  30, 1999 and 1998.
Selling,  general and administrative  expense increased to $1,183,142 during the
nine months ended  September 30, 1999 from $834,534 during the nine months ended
September 30, 1998.  Selling,  general,  and administrative  expense represented
approximately  26% of revenue  during both the nine months ended  September  30,
1999 and 1998.  Although  relatively  consistent  with the  increase in revenue,
selling,  general,  and  administrative  expense  has  increased  in each of the
periods presented due to the addition of employees,  increased travel costs, and
increases in marketing and promotional activities.

INCOME BEFORE  PROVISION FOR INCOME  TAXES.  Income before  provision for income
taxes for the three months ended  September  30, 1999  increased 28% to $441,465
compared  to the same  period  in 1998.  The  increase  is a  direct  result  of
increased revenue.  Income before provision for income taxes for the nine months
ended  September  30, 1999,  increased by 21% to $999,382  over $827,554 for the
nine months ended September 30, 1998, as a result of increased revenue.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES.  The Company has  determined  that it is more likely
than not that it will utilize all of its net  operating  loss  carryforwards  in
fiscal 1999.  The Company  accounted for  utilization  of its net operating loss
carryforwards  during the nine-month period ended September 30, 1999 by reducing
its deferred tax asset by $300,000 and recording a related  provision for income
taxes of $379,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. The reduction of
the  Company's  deferred  tax asset of  $300,000  during the nine  months  ended
September 30, 1999 was a non-

                                      -9-
<PAGE>
cash transaction. No provision for income taxes was recorded for the nine months
ended September 30, 1998.

NET INCOME.  Net income for the three  months  ended  September  30,  1999,  was
$263,465 as  compared  with net income of $344,817  for the three  months  ended
September 30, 1998. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, was
$620,382 as  compared  with net income of  $827,554  for the nine  months  ended
September 30, 1998.

SEASONALITY

The Company  historically  has  experienced  lower sales in the fourth  calendar
quarter as a result of production  declines during the holiday season as well as
seasonal  declines in homebuilding and remodeling.  The Company took a number of
steps during fiscal 1998 to increase sales during the fourth quarter,  including
concentrating selling efforts in parts of the world that experience warm weather
during this time.  The Company has started taking similar steps during the third
and fourth  quarters of fiscal 1999. The Company also may be subject to periodic
declines experienced by the building industry in general.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's  working capital  position  increased to $808,080 at September 30,
1999 from  $283,376 at December 31,  1998.  The  increase  was  attributable  to
increases in cash,  accounts  receivable,  and  inventory as a result of greater
production and sales.

The  Company's net cash  provided by operating  activities  was $562,633 for the
nine months ended September 30, 1999, compared to net cash provided by operating
activities of $718,740 for the nine months ended  September 30, 1998. The change
was primarily attributable to increases in inventory and accounts receivable.

The Company invested  approximately  $1,900,000  during the first nine months of
1999 to construct its third factory.  The Company intends to acquire  additional
property,  plant,  and equipment during the fourth quarter of 1999 and in future
years  in  order  to  continue  to  support  its  current  sales  volume  and to
accommodate anticipated increases in demand for its products.

On April 12,  1999,  the  Company  obtained  a loan in the  principal  amount of
$1,080,000  to purchase  equipment  to be  installed  at the new  factory  under
construction in Mexico. The loan bears interest at the rate of 9.5258% per annum
and  matures on April 12,  2004.  The loan is secured  by quarry  block,  quarry
equipment,  and the building  structure  and  equipment  purchased and installed
specifically  from these loan  proceeds at the new  factory.  The Company is the
guarantor for the loan under the terms and conditions of the loan agreement. The
Company's subsidiary,  Sociedad Piedra Sierra, S.A. de C.V., also has guaranteed
the loan. Loan fees incurred in connection with obtaining the loan were deferred
and are being amortized over the life of the loan.

The Company's  current cash resources,  expected cash flow from operations,  and
equipment  financing are expected to be sufficient to fund the Company's capital
needs during the next 12 months at its current level of operations.  The Company
may be required to obtain  additional  capital to fund its planned growth during
the next 12 months and  beyond,  particularly  for  expansion  of the  Company's
facilities and operations in Mexico.  Potential  sources of any such capital may
include the proceeds from bank financing,  strategic alliances, and offerings of
the Company's  equity or debt  securities.  There can be no assurance  that such

                                      -10-
<PAGE>
capital will be available from these or other potential sources, and the lack of
such capital could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business.

YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

Many currently  installed  computer  systems and software  products are coded to
accept  only  two-digit  entries  to  represent  years in the date  code  field.
Computer  systems and products that do not accept  four-digit  year entries will
need to be  upgraded or replaced  to accept  four-digit  entries to  distinguish
years  beginning  with 2000 from prior  years.  The  Company  has  upgraded  its
internal computer network at its headquarters in Phoenix,  Arizona,  in order to
integrate  its  management  information  systems,  as well as to ensure that its
computer  systems and other  process  control  equipment  located at its Arizona
facility will be able to deal appropriately and without  malfunctions  caused by
"Year 2000" issues.

The Company has completed upgrades to its computer systems and equipment located
in Mexico during 1999 to ensure that they will properly  process dates beginning
on and after  January 1, 2000, as well as to improve the content,  quality,  and
flow of  information  throughout  the  Company.  The Company  currently  has one
internal  information  technology  systems  employee and one  external  computer
engineer upgrading the computer network and computer-operated equipment.

The Company has corresponded with all its third-party vendors, suppliers, banks,
government agencies, and others with respect to the Year 2000 issue. Most of the
third parties that the Company has contacted  have  responded and have indicated
that they have  addressed  the Year 2000 issue and are working  towards  solving
problems  related to the Year 2000 issue.  There can be no  assurance,  however,
that computer systems operated by third parties,  including customers,  vendors,
credit card transaction processors, and financial institutions, will continue to
properly interface with the Company's systems and will otherwise be compliant on
a timely basis with Year 2000 requirements.

The Company's costs to modify software and hire Year 2000 solution providers are
included as part of the management  information  system  enhancements  described
above. The Company  currently  estimates that its costs to address the Year 2000
issue to date have been approximately $45,000 for internal and external computer
network services.  The Company currently  anticipates that it will incur minimal
additional costs during 1999 to complete documentation of its contingency plan.

The Company's  business depends entirely upon its ability to extract and process
stone in Mexico and ship its dimensional stone products to the United States for
sales and distribution.  The Company may be at risk with respect to suppliers of
necessary   resources,    particularly    suppliers   of   power,   water,   and
telecommunications   within  Mexico,  if  those  suppliers  are  not  Year  2000
compliant.  Extended power brownouts or blackouts or loss of the water supply at
the  Company's  factories  in  Mexico  would  seriously  disrupt  the  Company's
production  of  dimensional  stone  products.   Telephone  communication  system
failures  within  Mexico or between the United  States and Mexico,  Canada,  and
Europe as a result of Year 2000 issues would severely hinder the Company's sales
and shipping  functions.  In  addition,  disruption  to local and  international
banking, credit

                                      -11-
<PAGE>
card  processing,  and other financial  services as a result of Year 2000 issues
would have a material  adverse effect on the Company's cash  management  systems
and financial  resources.  Potential revenue losses and/or  liabilities to third
parties as a result of Year 2000 problems could  adversely  impact the Company's
ability to continue as a going concern. Because of these factors, the Company is
