The sales component under Revenues represents the revenues that the Company's
auction subsidiary generates net of commissions and buyers premium. This amount
is offset by the Cost of Goods Sold item under Expenses. Had the revenue
component been excluded, total revenues would have been the same as a year
earlier at $2.6 million for the six months and down 30% for the three months
ending September 1996.

The reduction in the second quarter revenues versus the first is due to the
following:

       - Credifinance Securities Limited: most of the sales and research staff
         effort was directed towards corporate finance activities which allowed
         the completion of two transactions (efforts continue to hire
         traders/salespeople).

       - Reeve, Mackay & Associates Limited: as previously stated in the 10-QSB
         MDA, there are two high seasons in the auction business: fall (November
         & December) and late spring (May/June). Reeve, Mackay incurred a great
         portion of the expenses related to important sales in the off season
         months: moving and storage of goods, marketing of consignments and
         cataloging.

Net loss for the six months ended September 30, 1996 was $70,078 on a weighted
average of 738,129 common shares for the period. Therefore, the loss per share
for the period is $0.09. Consolidated cash flow for the period was $94,275. In
the corresponding period a year earlier net income was $280,066 for E.P.S of
$0.57 on a weighted average number of common shares outstanding of 482,140. The
figure for the six months ending September 1995 includes a profit from
discontinued operations of $315,166 or $0.64 per share. Therefore, from
operations, the Company had a net loss of $41,009 or $0.07 per share.

Operating losses increased marginally due to increased non cash expenses.
Differences in cash related expenditures offset each other. Selling, Marketing &
Research were down as more revenues are being generated from new financing than
from agency commission. Administration, General Expenditures and Salaries are up
in comparison to a year earlier as the Company is no longer capitalizing the
start-up of the new auction business. In the previous fiscal year, the Company
capitalized $438,803 in start-up costs under Canadian GAAP. This amount is to be
charged to earnings over five years, under US GAAP this amount has already been
charged to earnings.

The increase in the cost of business results, in part, from the labor costs
associated with the auction business which is a fixed cost, unlike the other
subsidiaries in which labor costs are variable expenditure.

The Company's book value per share at the end of the second quarter is $4.92
versus $5.98 six months earlier and $7.20 at September 30, 1995. The reduction
is primarily due to the issuance of 277,142 new common stock for net proceeds of
$703,382 during the second quarter of the current fiscal year.

As reported in our 10-QSB for the first quarter, InterUnion has raised $759,710
and received commitment for an additional $1.5 million but the Company would
rather finalize the Placement at the same time that it announces an acquisition
or it receives its NASDAQ listing.

The Company continues to explore opportunities for the acquisition of operating
companies that will provide additional liquidity and cash flow. The Company
anticipates that such acquisitions would be financed by the use of the cash
generated by the above mentioned financing as well as the issuance of common
stock from treasury. Management of the Company advises that, while a number of
oppotunities have been explored, none have been consummated as the Company's
parameters were not satisfied.

Concluding Remarks

There are no other known trends, events or uncertainties that may have or are
reasonably likely to have a material impact on the Company's short-term or
long-term liquidity which has not been discussed above.

In addition, there are no significant income or losses that have arisen from the
Company's continuing operations that has not been analyzed or discussed above,
nor has there been any material change in any line item that is presented on the
financial statements which has also not been discussed above.

Certain Risk Factors Which May Impact Future Operations

The Company and its subsidiaries operate in a rapidly changing environment that
involves a number of factors, some of which are beyond management's control,
such as financial market trend and investors appetite for new financings.

Forward-looking statements included in Management's Analysis and Discussion
reflect management's best judgment based on known factors and involve risks and
uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in
these forward-looking statements. Forward-looking information is provided by
InterUnion pursuant to the safe harbor established by recent securities
legislation and should be evaluated in the context of these factors.

In the opinion of management the financial statements for the periods ending
September 30,1996 accurately reflect the operations of the Company and its
subsidiaries. The Company has taken every reasonable step to ensure that its
quarterly financial statements do not represent a distorted picture to anyone
having a business reason to review such statements and who has also reviewed its
previous audited annual financial statements dated January 28, 1997.

the subject of a pending legal proceeding for which the claims, exclusive of
interest and costs, exceed 10% of the current assets of the Company on a
