            NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.       GENERAL

         In the opinion of management of International Alliance Services, Inc.
         (the "Company"), the accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed
         interim financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary to
         present fairly the financial position of the Company as of June 30,
         1997 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the periods
         ended June 30, 1997 and 1996. The results of operations for such
         interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the
         full year. The 1996 consolidated balance sheet was derived from the
         Company's audited financial statements, but does not include all
         disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. For
         further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and
         footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K
         for the year ended December 31, 1996. Certain reclassifications have
         been made to the 1996 financial statements to conform to the 1997
         presentation.

2.       CALCULATION OF EARNINGS PER COMMON AND COMMON SHARE EQUIVALENTS

         Income from continuing operations for the three and six months ended
         June 30, 1997 was adjusted to reflect the effect of all interest
         savings and benefits and the related tax effects under the modified
         treasury stock method. The computation of fully diluted earnings per
         share under the modified treasury stock method resulted in no
         reportable dilution for the periods ended June 30, 1997. Modifications
         to income were not required for the periods ended June 30, 1996.

                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                  ---------------------------------------------

         International Alliance Services, Inc. (the "Company") is a provider of
         integrated business services through its IASI Business Services Group,
         and of niche market insurance products through its IASI Insurance
         Services Group. The Business Services Group, formed in December 1996,
         provides a wide range of outsourced services to small and mid-size
         companies, including tax services, financial planning, benefits
         administration, retirement planning, workers' compensation
         administration, and professional employment placement. The Company
         markets its business, specialty insurance and bonding products
         throughout the United States.

         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
         ---------------------

         For the three months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, the Company reported
         income from continuing operations of $2,233,000 ($.06 per common share)
         and $771,000 ($.04 per common share), respectively. The $1.5 million
         increase in revenues for the three month period comes as a result of
         the dramatic growth that the Company has experienced since last year in
         both the Insurance Services and Business Services Groups. The largest
         component of the increase is primarily due to the increase in
         professional fees, increases in earned premiums, lower loss and loss
         adjustment expense development spread over higher premium production
         and the initial consolidation of the operations comprising the Business
         Services Group.

         For the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, the Company reported
         income from continuing operations of $4,342,000 ($.11 per common share)
         and $1,426,000 ($.08 per common share), respectively. The $2.9 million
         increase in income from continuing operations for the six months ended
         June 30, 1997 over the same period 1996 is also attributable to
         increased earned premiums, lower loss and loss adjustment expense
         development spread over higher premium production, and the further
         consolidation of the operations comprising the Business Services Group.

         The aforementioned income from continuing operations excludes revenues
         and earnings from the Company's discontinued environmental services
         business substantially all of which was sold in July 1997.

INSURANCE SERVICES GROUP
- - ------------------------

For the three months ended June 30, 1997, the Insurance Services Group reported
an increase in premiums earned of $2,446,000 (41%) on an increase in net written
premium of $2,643,000 (44%) to $8,640,000 over the prior year period. The
favorable impact on earned premium was effected by net written premium written
in the second half of 1996 as well as the continued growth in general liability
coverages. However the increase was offset by the diversion of Contract Surety
premium into the Gulf program referenced below, subject to new reinsurance
arrangements which will direct premium from Gulf to the Insurance Services Group
in future quarters. On a gross written basis, the Insurance Services Group
reported an increase of $3,843,000 (44%) to $12,521,000 for the three months
ended June 1997 over the prior year period. This increase is attributable to the
growth in general liability premiums.

For the six months ended June 30, 1997, the Insurance Services Group reported
increases in premiums earned of $3,924,000 (31%). Gross written premium totaled
$23,870,000 at June 30, 1997 compared to $20,129,000 at June 30, 1996, for an
increase of $3,741,000 (19%). On a net written basis, the Insurance Services
Group reported an increase of $2,254,000 (15%) to $16,976,000 from $14,722,000.
These increases were effected by the same factors which impacted the quarter
results.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 1997 commission income from the
Insurance Services' agency operations increased by $2,136,000 and $3,066,000,
respectively, to $2,207,000 and $3,182,000, respectively. The increase is
attributable to the impact of a bond treaty with Gulf Insurance Company that
culminated from the acquisition of certain assets of Midwest Indemnity
Corporation in January 1997.

Investment income was $2.4 million and $4.7 million for the three and six months
ended June 30, 1997, respectively, and includes approximately $1.1 million and
$2.0 million of gains from the sale of equity securities for the respective
three and six months periods. Investment income of approximately $1,156,000 and
$2,277,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997, respectively, was
earned on investment assets totaling $71,977,000 as of June 30, 1997. The
annualized return on invested assets was approximately 6.3%.

Other income increased by $10,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1997 from
June 30, 1996. For the six months ended June 30, 1997 other income decreased by
$1,722,000 due in large part to non-recurring income from the American Sentinel
transaction recorded in the first quarter 1996.

BUSINESS SERVICES GROUP
- - -----------------------

For the quarter ended June 30, 1997, the Business Services Group reported
revenues of $8.1 million consisting primarily of professional fees and
commissions earned. For the six months ended June 30, 1997, the Business
Services Group reported revenues of $13.0 million, which also consists primarily
of professional fees and commissions earned.

A significant portion of the revenues generated by the Business Services Group
are attributable to SMR & Co. Business Services which have been consolidated for
the entire six month period of 1997. Four months of revenues for M&N Risk
Management, M&N Enterprises, Inc., MFC, Inc., (collectively the M&N Companies),
The Benefits



                                       -9-

<PAGE>   10

Group Agency, Inc., TBG South Agency, Inc. and TBG Investment Advisors Agency,
Inc. (collectively TBG) and five months of revenue for Midland Consultants, Inc.
have been included in the Business Services Group's totals for 1997. Marvel,
Next Risk and ERIC were all merged into the Business Services Group during the
second quarter. These results are included in the Company's results of
operations for the six months ended June 30, 1997, which reflects revenues from
the date of acquisition of each of those companies. Z-A Business Services, Inc.,
which was acquired on June 30, 1997, was only included in the Company's
consolidated balance sheet for this period.

EXPENSES
- - --------

Total expenses increased $12 million to $18.1 million for the quarter ended June
30, 1997, from $6.1 million for the same period in 1996 and are primarily
attributable to the increase in operating expenses reflecting the impact of
general corporate expenses, the initial consolidation of the Business Services
Group and the acquisitions made by the Insurance Services Group.

Total expenses increased $16.9 million to $31.3 million for the six months ended
June 30, 1997 from $14.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996. Such
increase is primarily due to the increase in operating expenses which reflects
the impact from the initial consolidation of the Company's Business Services
Group and acquisitions made by the Insurance Services Group.

Loss and loss adjustment expense decreased as a percentage for the three months
ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 and represents 55% and 66%, respectively. For the
comparable six month period ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, such expenses
represent 57% and 68%, respectively. The Company reported increases in loss and
loss adjustment expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997 over
the comparable 1996 periods of $693,000 and $952,000, respectively. Such
increases are attributable to the increased premium volume for liability
coverages over last year.

Policy acquisition costs increased $1,454,000 from $1,660,000 for the three
months ended June 30,1996 to $3,114,000 at June 30, 1997 and $1,938,000 from
$3,407,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1996 to $5,345,000 at June 30,
1997. These increases correspond directly to the increase in premium volume. For
the three months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, such costs represent
approximately 36% and 28% of premium written. For the six months ended June 30,
1997 and 1996, policy acquisition costs represent 32% and 23%, respectively.

INCOME TAXES
- - ------------

The Company recorded an income tax provision of $798,000 and $1,750,000 for the
three and six months ended June 30, 1997, respectively, reflecting an estimated
effective tax rate of approximately 26% and 29%, respectively. As the Business
Services Group earnings continue to become a larger portion of the Company's
earnings the effective tax rate will increase.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
- - -----------------------

In February 1997, the Company signed a non-binding letter of intent and
confidentiality agreement to sell the Company's environmental services
operations. Consummation of the transaction occurred in July 1997. The Company
reported a loss from operations related to its discontinued environmental
services business of $179,000, net of a tax provision of $54,000, on revenues of
$8,537,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1997. The loss from discontinued
operations for the six months ended June 30, 1997 was $713,000, net of a tax
benefit of $202,000 on revenues of $16,088,000. Such quarterly operating loss is
typical for this business due to seasonality.

OTHER
- - -----

The Company's 1997 consolidated condensed balance sheet includes an increase in
excess of cost over net assets of businesses acquired of $35.4 million from $6.0
million to $41.4 million, which relates directly to the acquisitions made during
the six months ended June 30, 1997. As a result of the nature of the assets and
liabilities acquired there are no material identifiable intangible assets or
liabilities.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- - -------------------------------

The Company generated $9,792,000 and $2,751,000 in cash through operating
activities for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The
increase in cash flow is due to increased profits, funds realized through
investment transactions and loss reserves on an increasing volume of liability
coverages, which have slower payout patterns than property coverages. In
addition, cash from operating activities increased over the prior period due to
profits recognized from the initial consolidation of its Business Services
Group. Further, the Company raised $5.2 million through a private placement in
April 1997. The Company has made certain business acquisitions utilizing $16.5
million in cash financed, in part, through internal cash flow operations and
cash on hand. At June 30, 1997 and 1996, the Company had cash and investments,
excluding mortgage loans of $96.3 million and $61.9 million, respectively.
Management believes the Company currently has sufficient cash, investments, and
lines of credit to fund current operations and expansion thereof.

Statements included in the Form 10-Q, which are not historical in nature, are
forward-looking statements made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The amount of the charges to
discontinued operation with respect to the Company's environmental services
business will depend on a number of factors, including the outcome of any
related negotiations and final determination of the net realizable values of
assets to be sold or transferred. In addition, the Company's Annual Report on
Form 10-K contain certain other detailed factors that could cause the Company's
actual results to materially differ from forward-looking statements made by the
