NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS

Numex Corporation (the "Company") was incorporated under the laws of the State
of Delaware in August 1980.

The Company provides direct marketing services targeting the US Hispanic
community. The Company's clients include national and regional advertisers who
are focused on the Hispanic market. The Company's programs are built around its
proprietary door-to-door distribution program, La Bolsita, and its publications
Mundo Deportivo and InternetMercado Magazine. La Bolsita (translation: the
little bag) reaches close to three million Hispanic households across the US, as
determined by a sophisticated analysis of census tract data. This distribution
program provides opportunities for marketers to distribute coupons, retail
inserts and product samples on a door-to-door basis.

The Company also creates and publishes value-added custom publishing programs
for major marketers. Each program focuses on retention marketing and is designed
to help build customer loyalty. Since 1990, the Company has successfully focused
on the areas of technology, entertainment, healthcare and retail. It has
demonstrated an ability to grow with its clients as well as develop new products
and clients.

INTERNETMERCADO COMMERCE CORPORATION ("IMCC"):

IMCC is a majority owned subsidiary of the Company. The business objective of
IMCC is to sell business-to-business solutions that provide marketers with
scalable customer acquisition solutions in the US Hispanic Market. IMCC will
serve as a US Hispanic market intermediary by planning and implementing
integrated media campaigns and interactive marketing solutions that target
on-line and off-line Hispanic consumers on a turnkey basis.

Its target customers are both offline companies interested in reaching
Hispanics online as well as Internet companies/marketers who want to scale
quickly and use their resources efficiently by building their brands, mining
their databases and maximizing their US Hispanic marketing effectiveness.

Management believes that IMCC has an opportunity to capitalize on the
Company's media presence in the Hispanic market to leverage its marketing
solutions for its clients. The Hispanic market is one of the fastest-growing
internet and e-commerce segments. Forrester Research estimates that by the
end of 2000, approximately 43% of U.S. Hispanic households will own
computers. The Selig Center for Economic Growth estimates US Hispanic
spending was $383 billion in 1999, with growth at an annual rate of 7.5%,
compared to 4.9% for the rest of the U.S. Population. The Nazca Saatchi and
Saatchi Latin American Internet Use Study reported that Hispanic
cybershoppers now spend an average of $547 online per year and purchase at
least six times on the internet.

The business model of IMCC is relatively unproven. Successful implementation of
the business plan for IMCC will depend on a number of factors, including the
Company's ability to obtain financing in the form of debt, equity or a
combination thereof. To the extent that the Company is unable to obtain
sufficient funds, all or part of the Company's strategy in building the new
business will be curtailed or modified. The Company is actively seeking such
financing. To date, however, the Company has not received any binding
commitments for financing, and no assurance can be given that such financing
will be obtained on reasonable terms, or at all. Additionally, as with most
start-up operations, successful implementation will depend on client acceptance
of the IMCC business model and execution of the business plan. The Company's
management will monitor on a continuing basis the IMCC business to determine its
viability in view of the resources available and market acceptance of its
services.

ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company's
condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto appearing

INTRODUCTION:

On April 12, 1999, Numex Corporation (the "Company") acquired all of the
outstanding stock of Jeffrey A. Stern & Associates, Inc. ("JSA"), in exchange
for 3,046,875 shares of common stock in the Company (the "JSA Acquisition"). For
accounting purposes, the JSA Acquisition is treated as a re-capitalization of
JSA with JSA as the acquirer (reverse acquisition). Accordingly, the discussion
below provides information solely with respect to the results of operations of
JSA. In connection with the JSA Acquisition, JSA acquired the minority interest
in JSA Communications, LLC in exchange for 106.09 shares in JSA. JSA
Communications LLC was subsequently merged with JSA. This transaction resulted
in goodwill of $437,893 being recorded in JSA's books.

JSA, which provides distributing and publishing services to various commercial
customers throughout the United States, is the remaining operating entity after
the merger. JSA is also engaged in publishing, circulating and selling
advertisements in its own print publications. Following the JSA Acquisition, the
company also started the development of an e-commerce web-site, with the
intention of leveraging its existing expertise in the Hispanic print market on
to the Internet. In the process of developing the e-commerce web-site, the
Company realized that its principal strength is as an intermediary, helping
other Internet companies reach the Hispanic market. In view of this, the Company
is now attempting to provide business to business solutions that provide
marketers with scalable customer acquisition solutions in the US Hispanic
Market. The Company acts as an intermediary by planning and implementing
integrated media campaigns and interactive marketing solutions that target
on-line and off-line Hispanic consumers on a turnkey basis. So as to facilitate
the management of and the raising of capital for the interactive marketing
venture using the new media, a new subsidiary, InternetMercado Commerce
Corporation ("IMCC") was formed on November 3, 1999.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS JUNE 30, 2000 AND 1999:

Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2000 and June 30, 1999 were
$2,149,000 and $1,482,000, respectively. The increase of $667,000 for the
current period was attributed mainly to higher revenues from the Company's
publishing business.

Cost of sales were $1,906,000 and $1,120,000 for the three months ended June 30,
2000 and June 30, 1999, respectively. As a percentage of revenues, cost of sales
for the three months ended June 30, 2000 and June 30, 1999 accounted for 88.7%
and 75.6% of net sales, respectively. The higher cost of sales percentage for
the current period resulted in the gross profit of $244,000 for the current
period to be $118,000 lower than the gross profit of $362,000 for the same
period last year. As a percentage of net sales, the gross profit for the current
period was 11.3% compared to 24.4% the same period in the last year. The main
expenditures that caused the high cost of sales which resulted in lower gross
profit percentage for the three months ended June 30, 2000, were the expenses
incurred in the development of the InternetMercado Magazine and the proprietary
advertising and media programs introduced in the previous year, which have not
yet produced significant margins.

Selling and general and administration expenses decreased 11.0% or $158,000 to
$1,276,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2000, from $1,434,000 for the
same period last year. The decrease was primarily due to employee compensation
incurred during the three months ended June 30, 1999 that were not incurred
during the three months ended June 30, 2000. The employee compensation included
the value of the shares of common stock of JSA that were issued to certain
employees of JSA prior to the JSA Acquisition and the salaries paid to the
Company's Non-executive Chairman who resigned his position in August 1999.

Net interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2000 was $88,000
compared to $22,000 for same period last year. The higher interest expense for
the current period was principally a result of the $1.5 million 3 year term loan
that the Company borrowed from Bastion Capital Fund LP on November 3, 1999.
$45,500 of the $88,000 interest for the three months ended June 30, 2000
which were payable to Bastion Capital Fund LP were not paid when due and the
Company was in default as of June 30, 2000.

<PAGE>

During the three months ended June 30, 1999, the Company recorded a deemed
dividend of $1,728,107 on the 144,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock issued
in private placement completed on April 12, 1999. This amount represents the
difference between the issue price of the shares of preferred stock and the
market value of the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the
shares of preferred stock, assuming that the shares of preferred stock were
converted into shares of common stock on the date of the private placement.

The minority interest's share of the loss incurred by InternetMercado Commerce
Corporation for the three months ended June 30, 2000 was approximately $240,000.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:

In February and March, 2000 IMCC received $1,500,000 and $1,000,000,
respectively, in equity financing for approximately 16% (fully diluted)
ownership of IMCC. The investors, Trust Company of the West and certain private
individuals, also received warrants to purchase 1,666,665 shares of common stock
in the Company. In connection with the same arrangement, in April 2000, the
Company received another $100,000 for approximately 0.5% (fully diluted)
ownership of IMCC. The investor also received warrants for 66,667 shares of
common stock in the Company.

The Company's total cash and cash equivalents on June 30, 2000 were $0 compared
to $882,000 on June 30, 1999.

Net cash used in operating activities during the three months ended June 30,
2000 was $1,123,000, compared to net cash used by operating activities of
$756,000 for the same period last year, an increase of $367,000. The higher net
cash used in operating activities during the current period was to a great
extent due to the higher net loss before minority interest of $1,263,000
compared to $1,040,000 for the same period last year. Operating activities
outflows for the three months ended June 30, 2000 included the increase in
accounts receivable by $679,000 and the increase in deposits by $50,000.
Operating activities inflows for the three months ended June 30, 2000 included
an increase in accounts payable and deferred revenues by $555,000 and $75,000,
respectively, and a decrease in capitalized production cost by $156,000.

Investing activities used $261,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2000.
During the three months ended June 30, 1999, investing activities provided
$132,000. The investment expenditures for the current period were primarily in
respect of renovation expenditure for the Company's office. For accounting
purposes, the JSA Acquisition discussed above was treated as a re-capitalization
of JSA with JSA as the acquirer (reverse acquisition). As a result, a
"re-capitalization" inflow of $185,000 was recognized during the three months
ended June 30, 1999.

Financing activities provided approximately $133,000 during the three months
ended June 30, 2000. The inflows were primarily the $100,000 received for the
sale of shares in IMCC and the bank overdraft of $52,000. Financing activities
provided $1,421,000 during the three months ended June 30, 1999, which was
primarily the balance of the net proceeds of $3,320,000 from the April 1999
private placement mentioned above, after repaying $1,800,000 of the $2,739,594
bank line of credit. The Company also repaid approximately $13,000 and $94,000
towards a note held by one of its vendors during the three months ended June 30,
2000 and June 30, 1999, respectively.

The present operations and new capital of the Company and its subsidiaries are
not expected to generate sufficient cash inflow for its current activities and
new interactive marketing, business to business venture and it will have to rely
upon additional external financing sources to meet its cash requirements.
Management will continue to seek additional funding in the form of equity or
debt, or a combination thereof to meet its cash requirements. However, there is
no guarantee that it will raise sufficient capital to execute its business plan.
In the event that the Company is unable to raise sufficient capital, its
business plan will have to be substantially modified and its operations
curtailed or suspended. In view of the limited capital resources available,
management is assessing on a continuing basis its business plan and is actively
pursuing strategic alliances and/or a sale of parts of the Company's business.
