NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The interim financial statements are unaudited but reflect all
         adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to
         provide a fair statement of the results of IDF International, Inc. and
         its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company") for the
         interim periods presented. The results of operations for any interim
         period are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.
         These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
         financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company's
         Annual Report Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended July 31, 1998.

2.       REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY

         Hayden-Wegman has a $3.0 million revolving credit facility agreement
         with a lender. As of October 31, 1998 the outstanding borrowings under
         this facility amounted to $2,747,139. Under this agreement,
         Hayden-Wegman has pledged substantially all of its contract receivables
         and other tangible and intangible assets. In accordance with the
         agreement, Hayden-Wegman identifies and transfers to this lender, a
         designated pool of contract receivables and is advanced 80% of the
         aggregate face value of such receivables. The remaining 20%, less
         interest, and certain reimbursable expenses, is remitted to
         Hayden-Wegman once the lender receives payment for the pooled
         receivables. The lender is paid interest at the rate of prime plus 1
         1/2% per annum and fees of approximately 1% per month based on a
         sliding scale tied to the number of days that the receivables are
         outstanding. The interest and fees are computed on the full value of
         each receivable until all related client payments are received.
         Hayden-Wegman has the option to repurchase portions of the receivable
         pools from the lender.

3.       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         For a summary of significant accounting policies (which have not
         changed from fiscal year end July 31, 1998) and additional financial
         information, see the Company's Annual Report Form 10-KSB, including the
         consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year
         ended July 31, 1998.

be deemed to be "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A
of the Securities Act of 1993, as amended, and Section 21A of the Securities and
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and involve factors, risks and uncertainties
that may cause the actual results of IDF International, Inc. ("IDF") in future
periods to differ materially from such statements. These factors, risks and
uncertainties include the relatively short operating history of IDF; rapid

personnel; and the availability of sufficient financial resources to enable IDF
to meet both current and new customer demand for services.


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

      The following discussion relates to the company's results of operations,
      financial condition and liquidity for the interim periods indicated.
      References herein to the "Company" or "IDF" are references to IDF
      International, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, including Techstar
      Communications, Inc ("Techstar") and Hayden-Wegman Inc. ("Hayden-Wegman"),
      collectively.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

COMPARISON OF FIRST QUARTER ENDED OCTOBER 31, 1998 ("FIRST QUARTER 1999") TO
FIRST QUARTER ENDED OCTOBER 31, 1997 ("FIRST QUARTER 1998")

REVENUES

Net Revenues for IDF for First Quarter 1999 aggregated $3,058,233. This result
represents a decrease of $1,096,226, or 26%, from the First Quarter 1998. The
most significant reduction was at Techstar, which experienced a reduction in
revenues of approximately $1,000,000, with Net Revenues of $853,000 for First
Quarter 1999. The decline was primarily attributable to the cancellation of a
contract by its most significant customer. This reduction was further
exacerbated by a reduction in the scope of work by another customer. Due to the
general slowdown in the industry, Techstar was able to only slightly offset
these reductions with an increase in work with new contracts. The reduction in
revenues at Hayden-Wegman of approximately $100,000 was due primarily to
Hayden-Wegman's inability to secure new work at a time when its prior projects
were being completed. Although Hayden-Wegman maintains a solid reputation for
the quality of its engineering and construction management

<PAGE>

work, Hayden-Wegman's ability to previously secure new work, particularly in the
public sector, was impaired by its prior poor credit position.

EXPENSES

The Company's consolidated operating expenses for First Quarter 1999 was
$3,102,806. This result represents a decrease of approximately $435,000 from
first quarter 1998. Techstar accounted for a reduction in expenses of
approximately $450,000, with expenses of $1,023,000 for First Quarter 1998. This
was primarily due to a significant reduction of employees and a cutback in
associated overhead expense. These changes were management's response to a
reduction in business. Expenses increased at Hayden-Wegman due to increased
marketing efforts and due to the acquisition of hardware and software for a new
accounting/management information system. The comparision to the prior period
was affected by one-time costs incurred to improve Hayden-Wegman's prior poor
credit position incurred in first quarter 1997. These costs included the payment
of overdue accounts payables.

IDF incurred interest expense in the amount of $253,511 for first quarter 1999.
This represents a decrease in interest of approximately $24,000 or 9% from the
same period in 1998. Hayden-Wegman has a $3,000,000.00 revolving credit facility
with a lender, (a factoring arrangement). In accordance with the agreement,
Hayden-Wegman identifies and transfers to this lender a designated pool of
contract receivables and is advanced 80% of the aggregate face value of such
receivables. The remaining 20%, less interest, fees and certain reimbursable
expenses, is remitted to Hayden-Wegman once the lender receives payment for the
pooled receivables. The reduction in interest expense, when compared to first
quarter 1998, is attributable to a concerted effort by management to improve the
collections of receivables that resulted in certain customers remitting their
payments in a more timely manner.

INCOME

The Company experienced net earnings loss of $ 273,832 for First Quarter 1999.
This represents a reduction in net earnings of approximately $500,000 from 
First Quarter 1998, when the Company had positive net earnings of
$229,802. On an earnings per share basis, the loss is $0.03 based upon 9,927,841
shares of common stock outstanding as of October 31, 1998.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

For the first quarter 1999, IDF had cash on hand of $12,318. This amount was
offset by a current liability overdraft of $255,706. This is a reduction of
approximately $780,000 from the cash on hand as of fiscal year ended July 31,
1998 at which time the cash on hand was $791,804 with an offset by a current
liability of $264,766.
<PAGE>

In First Quarter 1999, the Company experienced significant demands on its
working capital needs. At Techstar, the significant reduction in revenue could
not be offset by a reduction in expenses. Management responded to the reduction
in business by reducing the number of employees. This action, however did not
avoid a negative impact on cash holdings in the period. At Hayden-Wegman, delays
in billing and the subsequent delay in collections of funds due it created a
cash drain during First Quarter 1999. Management believes its new accounting and
information system will greatly enhance its billing and collections efforts at
Hayden-Wegman.

IDF believes its cash flows from operations and its revolving credit facility
will continue to need to be supplemented in the current fiscal year to meet its
working capital needs. Certain members of the IDF Board of Directors and
significant shareholders have committed to loan up to $1,000,000 to IDF when
requested by IDF for its working capital needs. In October 1998 the Company
received $250,000, from Robert Rubin, Chairman of the Board of the Company, and
in November 1998 the Company received an additional $400,000 from AUGI, under
this commitment. IDF may also need additional financing in order to take
advantage of new opportunities in its core businesses. However, there can be no
assurance that such financing, if available, will be on terms acceptable to IDF
or that such financing would not result in dilution to existing shareowners.

<PAGE>
YEAR 2000

         Many existing computer programs use only the last two digits that refer
to a year. Those computer programs that do not properly recognize a year that
begins with "20" instead of the familiar "19" could fail or create erroneous
results (the "Year 2000" issue).

         In July 1998, Techstar began the installation of a new accounting and
information system, Timberline. This new system is Microsoft Windows based and
is certified by Timberline as being Year 2000 compliant. Techstar anticipates
installation to be completed by December 1998. The cost of the new Timberline
system, including training, was approximately $25,000. Techstar also uses
Microsoft Office 97 and Auto CAD version 14, which are also certified by the
vendor as being Year 2000 compliant. Management requires its employees to
perform proper system backups of material at regular intervals to minimize any
potential system problems.

         Hayden-Wegman's Information Strategic Plan (ISP) calls for replacement
of existing account and project information systems with third-party
state-of-the-art applications and hardware, augmented with internally developed
client-server desktop applications. The third-party applications consist of
Microsoft Office 97 applications, Auto CAD version 14 and LARSA 1998 Finite
Element Analysis, all certified by the respective vendors as Year 2000
compliant. The implementation of ISP is expected to be completed by early 1999.

         The new account and project information system will use Harper and
Shuman's new Advantage accounting and project control software. This software
will reside on a new Dell PowerEdge 2300 server with 9.1GB LVD SCSI hard drive
using Microsoft NTS 4.0 software. Hardware and software are both Year 2000
compliant. Historical accounting and project data on the legacy accounting
system, an older version of Harper and Shuman, which currently resides on a
Digital Equipment Corporation VAX, will be brought over to the new application.
The estimated total cost of this effort, including software, system development,
conversion of existing data and on-site training, is $100,000, of which
approximately $10,000 has been spent as of October 31, 1998.

         IDF's subsidiaries are not materially dependent on the Year 2000
compliance of its customers or other third parties. The work performed by the
subsidiaries for its customers is performed relatively independent from third
parties. Techstar and Hayden-Wegman's ability to meet customer commitments is
dependent upon its internal year 2000 compliance. Given the recent and ongoing
installation of the new systems, IDF does not expect material business
interruptions from the Year 2000 issues and further, in management's evaluation,
the Company's reasonably likely worst case scenario from any Year 2000 issues is
not expected to be material.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 5.           OTHER INFORMATION

As of December 11, 1998 the Company offered to all holders of Preferred Stock to
issue to each of them one share of Common Stock in exchange for their agreement
to convert one share of Preferred Stock into Common Stock. If a holder of
Preferred Stock agrees to convert at the current rate of $1.25 per share, the
company will issue to that holder one additional share of Common Stock for each
share of Preferred Stock converted. This would result in an effective conversion
rate of $0.625 per share for all holders other than Robert Rubin, the Chairman
of the Board and the sole holder of Series B Preferred Stock, whose effective
conversion rate will be $1.00. Each member of the Board of Directors has agreed
to convert all Preferred Stock owned by them on the foregoing basis. This offer
expires December 31, 1998. There can be no assurance that any holder of
Preferred Stock (other than members of the Board of Directors) will agree to
this arrangement. If all holders agree, an aggregate of 3,087997 Preferred
shares will be cancelled in exchange for an aggregate of 6,175,994 Common
Shares. This would increase the total number of Common Shares outstanding to
16,103,835.
