NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited financial statements of International
Mercantile Corporation, (the "Company"), reflect all adjustments which are, in
the opinion of management, necessary to a fair statement of the results of the
interim periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring
nature. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the notes
to financial statements contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB
for the year ended December 31, 1996.
2. NET INCOME PER SHARE
In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, EARNINGS PER SHARE
("Statement No. 128"). Statement No. 128 applies to entities with publicly
held common stock or potential common stock and is effective for financial
statements issued for periods ending after December 15, 1997. Statement No. 128
replaces APB Opinion 15, Earnings per Share ("EPS"). Statement No. 128 requires
dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share by entities with
complex capital structures. Basic EPS includes no dilution and is computed by
dividing net income by the total number of common shares outstanding for the
period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution of securities that could
dilute the shares in computing the earnings of the Company such as common stock
which may be issuable upon exercise of outstanding common stock options or the
conversion of debt into common stock. Pursuant to the requirements of the
Securities and Exchange Commission, the calculation of the shares used in
computing basic and diluted EPS include the shares of common stock issued for
the acquisition of HAMC and UMI.
Shares used in calculating basic and diluted net income per share were as
follows:

4. ACCOUNTING FOR INCOME TAXES
The Company follows Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS")
No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," which requires an asset and liability
approach of accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities
are computed annually for differences between financial statement basis and tax
basis of assets, liabilities and available general business tax credit
carry-forwards. A valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce
deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

5. MARKETABLE SECURITIES
The Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")
Statement No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities", which requires that investments in equity securities that have
readily determinable fair values and investments in debt securities be
classified in three categories: held-to-maturity, trading and
available-for-sale. Based on the nature of the assets held by the Company and
Management's investment strategy, the Company's investments have been
classified as available-for-sale. Management determines the appropriate
classification of debt securities at the time of purchase and reevaluates such
designation as of each balance sheet date. Securities classified as
available-for-sale are carried at estimated fair value, as determined by quoted
market prices, with unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, reported in a
separate component of stockholders' equity. At December 31, 1997, the Company
had no investments that were classified as trading or held-to-maturity as
defined by the Statement.
The following is a summary of cash, cash equivalents and available-for-sale
securities by balance sheet classification at December 31, 1997: Estimated

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1998
Except for the description of historical facts contained herein, this Form
10Q-SB contains certain forward looking statements that involve risks and
uncertainties as detailed herein and from time to time in the Company's filings
with the Securities and Exchange Commission and elsewhere. Such statements are
based on management's current expectations and are subject to a number of
factors and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially
from those described in the forward-looking statements. These factors include,
among others, the Company's fluctuations in sales and operating results, risks
associated with international operations and regulatory, competitive and
contractual risks and product development.
Results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1998 as
compared to the three months ended March 31, 1997.
- - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Revenues were $232,886 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 as
compared to $-0- for the three months ended March, 1997. Mortgages and related
expenses for the three months ended March 31, 1998, were $136,653 as compared
to $0 for the three months ended March 31, 1997 representing a cost of
mortgages related expenses of 0% for the three months ended March 31, 1997 as
compared to 58.7% for the three months ended March 31, 1998.
General and administrative costs for the three months ended March 31, 1998
were $-0-, an increase of 100.0% over expenses of $266,297 for the three months
ended March 31, 1997.
Liquidity and capital resources as of the end of the three months ended
March 31, 1998.
- - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Company's cash balance was $252,640 and working capital was a negative
$956,066 as at March 31, 1998.
The Company's primary short-term needs for capital, which are subject to
change, are for the search for acquisitions, operation of the Company's
mortgage business payment of the day to day operating expenses.

11
Income tax: As of March 31, 1998, the Company has a tax loss carry-forward
of $9,642,462. The Company's ability to utilize its tax credit carry-forwards
in future years will be subject to an annual limitation pursuant to the "Change
in Ownership Rules" under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended. However, any annual limitation is not expected to have a material
adverse effect on the Company's ability to utilize its tax credit
carry-forwards.
The Company currently plans to continue to accept funds from or accrue
expenses incurred officers, directors and other related parties to continue the
Company's existence and seek new business opportunities.
The Company expects its capital requirements to increase over the next
several years as it commences new search and development efforts, undertakes
new product development, increases sales and administration infrastructure and
embarks on developing in-house business capabilities and facilities. The
Company's future liquidity and capital funding requirements will depend on
numerous factors, including the extent to which the Company's present
management can fund the continued capital requirements, the timing of
regulatory actions regarding the Company's potential acqusitions, the costs and
timing of expansion of sales, marketing activities, facilities expansion needs,
and competition in the mortgage business entered into.
The Company believes that its available cash and cash from management
contributions will be sufficient to satisfy its funding needs for the day to
day mortgage banking activities for at least the next 12 months. Thereafter, if
cash generated from any newly acquired or developed business operations is
insufficient to satisfy the Company's working capital and capital expenditure
requirements, the Company may be required to sell additional equity or debt
securities or obtain additional credit facilities. There can be no assurance
that such financing, if required, will be available on satisfactory terms, if
at all.
