                                               NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
             (All information as of December 31, 1997 and 1996 is unaudited)

1.     DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION

       Emerging  Alpha  Corporation  (the  "Company") is considered to be in the
       development  stage  as  defined  in  Statement  of  Financial  Accounting
       Standards No. 7. The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State
       of Delaware on February 10, 1993, for the purpose of seeking out business
       opportunities,  including  acquisitions,  that the board of directors, in
       their discretion,  believe to be good opportunities.  The Company will be
       heavily dependent on the skills, talents, and abilities of its management
       to  successfully  implement its business plan. An affiliate of a director
       is expected to be the source for most business opportunities submitted to
       the Company.  Due to its currently limited funds and to the fact that the
       Company will only receive limited capital from a public  offering,  it is
       likely that the Company  will not be able to compete with larger and more
       experienced entities for business  opportunities which are lower risk and
       are more attractive for such entities;  business opportunities,  in which
       the  Company  ultimately  participates  will  likely be highly  risky and
       speculative.  Since inception, the Company's activities have been limited
       to capital formation.

2.     SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

       Organizational  costs relating to the expenses of  incorporation  will be
amortized on a straight-line basis over five years.

       The financial statements for the three and nine months ended December 31,
       1997 and 1996 are unaudited,  but in the opinion of the management of the
       Company,  contain all  adjustments,  consisting of only normal  recurring
       accruals,  necessary to present fairly the financial position at December
       31, 1997,  the results of operations  for the three and nine months ended
       December  31,  1997 and 1996 and the cash  flows  for the  three and nine
       months ended December 31, 1997 and 1996.

       The results of operations for the nine months ended December 31, 1997 are
       not  necessarily  indicative  of the results of operations to be expected
       for the full fiscal year ending March 31, 1998.

3.     RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

       The Company  pays a consulting  fee to the Vice  President of Finance for
       financial  services  which includes  office space and clerical  services.
       Beginning in January 1995, and through  December 1996, the consulting fee
       was $1,230 per month and during  January to December 1997 the  consulting
       fee was $750 per month (See Item 2 below.)

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

       The Company has commenced no operations  and has no  activities.  General
       and Administrative  expenses for the three and nine months ended December
       31, 1997 include $2,250 and $6,750 and 1996 include $3,750 and $11,250 in
       consulting fees respectively.
