THE ASHTON TECHNOLOGY GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO
UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
   -------------------------------------------------

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three
months ended June 30, 1998 include the accounts of The Ashton Technology Group,
Inc. ("ATG(TM)" or the "Company") and its subsidiaries, Universal Trading
Technologies Corporation ("UTTC(TM)"), Gomez Advisors, Inc. ("GA"), and
Electronic Market Center, Inc. ("EMC"). Also included is REB Securities,
Inc. ("REB"), a broker-dealer whose registration statement with the Securities
and Exchange Commission ("SEC" or "Commission") is pending, a wholly owned
subsidiary of UTTC(TM). All subsidiaries are wholly owned by ATG(TM) except
UTTC(TM), of which the company owns approximately 96% of the common stock. The
financial statements for the year ended March 31, 1998 do not include eMC(TM),
or REB Securities, which were formed by ATG(TM) in June and April 1998
respectively.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared
by the Company in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
interim financial statements and in accordance with the instructions for Form
10-QSB.  Accordingly, they do not contain all of the information and footnotes
required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
statements.  In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited
consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the
audited statements and include all adjustments, consisting only of normal
recurring adjustments, which are necessary for a fair statement of the results
of the interim periods presented.  These financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the footnotes contained in the Company's 10-KSB for the fiscal
year ended March 31, 1998.

The preparation of interim financial statements, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles, also requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities; the
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the interim
statements; and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

2.   PROCEEDS FROM SALE OF SERIES A and SERIES B CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK
     ----------------------------------------------------------------------

On September 18, 1997, the Company commenced a private offering and exchange
offer pursuant to which it offered to certain investors (i) up to 250,000 shares
of its Series A Convertible PIK Preferred Stock (with a liquidation preference
of $10.00 per share) ( the "Series A Preferred"); (ii) up to 250,000 shares of
its Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (with a liquidation preference of
$10.00 per share) (the "Series B Preferred"); and (iii) the opportunity to
exchange (the "Exchange Offer") up to 300,000 shares of its Series B Preferred
for up to $3,000,000 of convertible and non-convertible notes issued by UTTC(TM)
(the "UTTC(TM) Notes").  The Series A Preferred pays cumulative dividends semi-
annually at an annual rate of $0.50 per shares and is payable in cash or
additional shares of Series A Preferred until February 15, 2000.  At any time
after February 15, 1998, each holder of shares of Series A Preferred has the
right to convert each share of Series A Preferred into: (i) ten shares of Common
Stock; and (ii) one two-year warrant to purchase three shares of the common
stock, par value $0.01 per share, of UTTC(TM) (the "UTTC(TM) Common Stock"),
with an exercise price of $0.75 per share, subject to adjustment. The Series B
Preferred pays cumulative dividends semi-annually at an annual rate of $0.90 per
share. At any time after June 30, 1998, each holder of shares of Series B
Preferred has the right to convert each share of Series B Preferred into: (i)
six shares of Common Stock; and (ii) one two-year warrant to purchase two shares
of UTTC(TM) Common Stock, with an exercise price of $0.75 per share, subject to
adjustment.


The Company sold all 250,000 shares of its Series A Preferred at $10.00 per
share and realized gross proceeds of $2,500,000.  The Series A Preferred
offering closed on January 15, 1998.  The Company closed the Exchange Offer
transaction after receiving the tender of $2,975,000 of the UTTC(TM) Notes for
which the Company issued 297,500 shares of Series B Preferred Stock. The Company
extended its private offering to institutional and accredited investors of
Series B Preferred until May 15, 1998.  As of March 31, 1998, the Company had
received signed Subscription Agreements for 587,500 shares of the Series B
Preferred offered.  The Series B transaction closed on May 6, 1998 after being
oversubscribed by 40,000 shares of Series B Preferred.  The Company realized
gross proceeds of $2,900,000.  The Company incurred transaction costs in
connection with the issuance of the Series A Preferred, the Series B Exchange
Offer and the Series B Preferred, as well as the issuance of the Series C
Preferred described below, in the aggregate amount of approximately $1,600,000.


3.   PROCEEDS FROM SALE OF SERIES C PREFERRED STOCK
     ----------------------------------------------

On January 27, 1998, the Company completed the sale of 100,000 shares of the
Series C Convertible Preferred Stock to a group of foreign investors (the
"Series C Investors"), with a liquidation preference of $10.00 per share (the
"Series C Preferred"), for an aggregate purchase price of $1,000,000.  Holders
of the Series C Shares have the right to convert each share of Series C

                                      -7-

<PAGE>
 
Preferred into one share of Common Stock at a conversion price equal to the
following: (i) if the Market Price (as hereinafter defined) on the Conversion
Date (as hereinafter defined) is less than $1.8774, the conversion price is
equal to the lesser of 75% of the Market Price at the Conversion Date or
$1.2516; and (ii) if the Market Price at the Conversion Date is equal to or
greater than $1.8774, the conversion price is equal to $1.2516 plus 50% of the
difference between the Market Price at the Conversion Date and $1.8774. The
"Market Price" means the average of the closing bid price per share of the
Common Stock over the five consecutive trading days ending on the trading day
immediately preceding the date the holder elects to convert the Series C
Preferred (the "Conversion Date"). In addition, the Series C Investors received
warrants exercisable into an aggregate of 100,000 shares of Common Stock at an
exercise price of 105% of the Market Price for a period of 5 years.

As of March 31, 1998, 50,000 shares of the Series C Shares were converted into
281,071 shares of ATG(TM) Common Stock.  Between March 31 and April 21, 1998,
the remainder of the shares Series C Preferred were converted into 314,342
shares of Common Stock.  The fees paid for the Series C Shares were as follows:
5,000 Series C Shares, $50,000, and a warrant to purchase 100,000 shares of
Common Stock at 105% of Market Price to Settondown Capital International Ltd.
(the "Placement Agent").  In addition, the Company paid $50,000 and on July 15,
1998, granted an option to purchase 100,000 shares of Common Stock at $1.875 per
share and an option to purchase 100,000 shares of UTTC(TM) Common Stock at $1.00
per share to Adirondack Capital L.L.C., whose Managing Director is a director of
the Company, for services in structuring the offering.

4. PROCEEDS FROM SALE OF SERIES D and E CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK
   ---------------------------------------------------------------

On April 3, 1998 (the "Subscription Date"), the Company entered into a Private
Equity Line of Credit Agreement (the "Private Equity Agreement") with a group of
accredited investors (the "Private Equity Investors") which provides for an
aggregate commitment of $18,000,000 to the Company. On the Subscription Date,
the Private Equity Investors purchased three shares of Series D Convertible
Preferred Stock (the "Series D Preferred") with a liquidation preference of
$1,000,000 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $3,000,000 and the
Company agreed to promptly file a registration statement with the Securities and
Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, registering
shares of Common Stock issuable in connection with the transactions,
contemplated by the Private Equity Agreement (the "Registration Statement"). The
Company filed this registration statement with the Commission on June 29, 1998
and it became effective on August 13, 1998. The Agreement provides that within
five days after the filing of the Registration Statement and subject to the
satisfaction of certain other conditions, the Private Equity Investors will
purchase two shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series E
Preferred") with a liquidation preference of $1,000,000 per share for an
aggregate purchase price of $2,000,000. The Private Equity Investors purchased
such shares of Series E Preferred on July 15, 1998. See Subsequent Events.
Following the purchase of the Series E Preferred and subject to the satisfaction
of certain other conditions, the Company may from time to time put (each, a
"Put") to the Private Equity Investors shares of the Common Stock for an
aggregate Put price of $13,000,000. The Put price per share is an amount equal
to 85% of the average of the lowest bid prices of such Common Stock over the
seven day period beginning three days before and ending three days after the
Company gives notice of a Put.

Under the terms of the Private Equity Agreement, the Company agreed to hold
$1,000,000 of the proceeds received on the Subscription Date in cash or
government securities until the Company (i) receives shareholder approval for
the issuance of 20% or more of its Common Stock in connection with the
transactions contemplated by the Agreement (the "Required Approval") or (ii) is
able to increase its issued and outstanding Common Stock by at least 4,000,000
shares via the conversion of Convertible Preferred Stock (other than Common
Stock to be issued in connection with the Private Equity Agreement). If neither
of these events has occurred within 90 days after the Subscription Date, the
Company must return the $1,000,000 plus a 10% premium, to the Private Equity
Investors. On May 29, 1998, the Company held a Special Meeting of its
stockholders at which time the stockholders approved the increase in the
Company's Common Stock to 60,000,000 shares and its Preferred Stock to 3,000,000
shares, thus removing the Company's obligation to hold the $1,000,000 cited
above.

The Private Equity Investors are not obligated to purchase the Series E
Preferred or any Put shares unless, among other things, (i) the Company has
received the Required Approval, (ii) the Registration Statement is filed (the
Registration Statement must be effective in order for the Private Equity
Investors to be obligated to purchase the Put shares), (iii) the Company is
listed and its Common Stock is trading on a national exchange or quotation
system, (iv) the closing bid price of the Common stock on the day immediately
preceding such purchase is at least $1.50 per share, and (v) the Common Stock
has traded at an average volume of at least 25,000 shares a day for the thirty
trading days preceding such purchase. Based upon the Company's satisfaction of
these conditions, on June 29, 1998, the Private Equity Investors became
obligated to buy the Series E Preferred which resulted in $1,890,000 net
proceeds received by the Company on July 15, 1998. See Subsequent Events.

The Series D Preferred may not be converted into Common Stock until the earlier
of (i) 60 days following the Subscription Date or (ii) the date the Registration
Statement has been filed.  The conversion price of the Series D Preferred is an
amount equal to 75% of the average closing bid price per share over the five
days preceding the conversion date (the "Market Price").  The conversion price
of the Series E Preferred is 80% of the Market Price.  Each of the Series D
Preferred and Series E Preferred (i) 

                                      -8-
<PAGE>
 
ranks pari passu with the other authorized Preferred Stock of the Company and
(ii) is entitled to a cumulative dividend of 8% per annum on its respective
liquidation preference.

On the Subscription Date, the Private Equity Investors received warrants (each,
a "Warrant") to purchase up to an aggregate of 250,000 shares of Common Stock
and received additional Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 100,000 of
such shares on July 15, 1998. The Warrants are exercisable for five years at an
exercise price of 120% of the average closing bid price of the Common Stock over
the five trading days preceding the Subscription Date.

On the Subscription Date, the Company paid the Placement Agent, a fee of (i)
$150,000, (ii) 0.15 shares of Series D Preferred, (iii) a Warrant, on the same
terms as the Warrants issued to the Private Equity Investors, to purchase up to
190,000 shares of Common Stock and (iv) 20,000 shares of Common Stock and (v)
attorney fees of $30,000.  In addition, the Company paid an amount equal to 5%
of the proceeds of such purchase and an option to purchase 500,000 shares of
Common Stock at $1.875 per share and an option to purchase 500,000 shares of
UTTC(TM) common stock at $1.00 per share to Adirondack Capital L.L.C., the
Managing Director of which is a director of the Company.  On the completion of
each Put by the Company pursuant to the Series E Agreement, the Company has
agreed to pay the Placement Agent and Adirondack Capital L.L.C. each, an amount
equal to 5% of the proceeds of each such Put.

5.  NOTE RECEIVABLE - THE DOVER GROUP, INC.
    ---------------------------------------

On May 1, 1997, David N. Rosensaft commenced an action in the U.S. District
Court for the Southern District of New York captioned Rosensaft v. The Ashton
Technology Group, Inc., et al, No. 97 Civ. 3138 ("the Rosensaft lawsuit"). On
March 4, 1998, the U.S. District Court entered an order awarding damages against
The Dover Group, Inc. ("Dover") and Mr. Fredric W. Rittereiser, a director and
officer of the Company, in the amount of $1.2 million. Mr. Rittereiser is the
sole shareholder, director, and officer of Dover. Dover and Mr. Rittereiser
offered to settle the litigation for, among other things, a cash payment of $1.2
million. On April 7, 1998, the Company's Board of Directors, after due
deliberation, concluded that the Company and its UTTC(TM) subsidiary derived
mutual benefit from the Rosensaft settlement by Dover and Mr. Rittereiser. The
Board resolved to fund one-third of the $1.2 million settlement amount.
Separately, UTTC(TM) agreed to fund one-third of the Rosensaft settlement
amount. On April 8, 1998, the Company loaned $380,000 to Dover and Mr.
Rittereiser at an annual rate of 9%, payable semi-annually, for thirty months.
In exchange for the loan to satisfy the Rosensaft settlement, Dover pledged
300,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock under its control and entered into
a Promissory Note with the Company.

1   This number consists of $32,427 in dividends paid.  The remaining $353,366
represents the accumulated dividends for the Convertible Preferred Stock due and
payable August 15, 1998.

2   The "Recognition of Beneficial Conversion Feature of Preferred Stock"
reflects the position of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Emerging
Issues Task Force Topic D-60 ("Topic D-60"). Topic D-60 addresses the position
of the accounting staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding
conversion features of convertible preferred stock and convertible debt
securities that are "in the money" upon issuance, i.e. the conversion price is
below the market price for the common stock. According to Topic D-60, an issuer
of an equity security containing such a "beneficial conversion feature" must
allocate to additional paid-in capital an amount equal to the intrinsic value of
such conversion feature. The discount resulting from the allocation of proceeds
to the "beneficial conversion feature" is analogous to a dividend and should be
recognized as a return to the preferred shareholders over the minimum period in
which the preferred shareholders can realize that return. The net effect of
Topic D-60 causes an increase in the Net Loss Available to Common Shareholders
in computing net loss per common share. There is no impact on the Company's net
loss, cash flows, or stockholders, equity.

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

          FIRST QUARTER OF FISCAL 1999 COMPARED TO FIRST QUARTER OF FISCAL 1998.
          ----------------------------------------------------------------------

On a consolidated basis, the Company had revenues of $443,562 for the quarter
ended June 30, 1998 compared to revenues of $1,334,202 for the quarter ended
June 30, 1997. All of the Company's revenues, and the related "cost of revenues"
for the quarter ended June 30, 1997 were generated by Computer Science
Innovations, Inc. ("CSI(R)"). The Company sold this subsidiary in the third
quarter of last fiscal year ended March 31, 1998. All of the Company's revenues
for the quarter ended June 30, 1998 were generated by GA.

During the three months ended June 30, 1998, the Company incurred a net loss of
$1,813,186 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 1997, in which the
Company incurred a net loss of $921,526. Of this $1,813,186 loss, approximately
$250,000 are one-time expenses associated with the preparation of a Proxy
Statement for the Company's special stockholders' meeting on May 29, 1998 and
the Registration Statement on Form S-3, as amended, which the Company was
required to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with
its financings. The remainder of the increase in the loss is attributable to
larger payroll costs due to increasing staff at GA and UTTC(TM) to build an
organization capable of launching the Company's products; office expenses
increased for the new space required by GA in Concord, MA, and the UTTC(TM) New
York office space.


Cost of Revenues

The cost of revenues for the three months ended June 30, 1997 were attributable 
solely to CSI(R). Since the sale of CSI(R) in November 1997, all revenues have 
been generated by consulting or other services and, as a result, the cost of
such revenues are reflected as Selling, General and Administrative expenses. See
Selling, General, and Admistrative Expenses, below.


Computer Software Development Costs

During the three months ended June 30, 1998, the Company incurred $61,375 of
computer software development costs of which $10,229 was expensed and included
in "selling, general and administrative expenses" and $51,146 which was
capitalized.  For the three months ended June 30, 1997, the Company incurred
$257,640 of development costs of which $21,500 was expensed and $236,140 was
capitalized.  Of this amount, approximately $75,000 was paid to CSI(R) for
its subcontract work on the Company's volume weighted average price trading 
system (the "VTS System").

In addition to the development costs on the VTS System, the Company is also
developing additional systems which are being expensed as costs are incurred.
These expenses amounted to $122,749 for the quarter ended June 30, 1998, which,
together with the capitalized and expensed development costs referred to in the
above paragraph are approximately the same as those development costs incurred
by the Company during the same period in the last fiscal year.


Capital Equipment

During the three months ended June 30, 1998, the Company spent $192,629 for the
acquisition of equipment, as compared to $61,873 for the three months ended June
30, 1997. The increase in capital expenditures during this fiscal quarter are
attributable to updating the communications interface from the WorldCom,
Inc./CompuServe Network Services, Inc. communications network to the VTS System
and purchasing production equipment for the VTS System.


Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses

During the three months ended June 30, 1998, the Company incurred $2,151,763 of
Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) expenses, as compared to $861,899 for
the three months ended June 30, 1997. On a per company basis, SG&A costs were
$1,100,132 for Ashton, $642,595 for UTTC(TM) and $409,036 for Gomez. The
increase in SG&A is attributable to larger payroll costs due to increasing staff
at GA and UTTC to build an organization capable of launching our products;
office expenses increased for the new space required by GA in Concord, MA, and
the UTTC New York office space.


Liquidity

At June 30, 1998, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $1,097,620, plus
a subscription receivable of $1,890,000 which was converted to cash on July 15,
1998 (see Note 4 to the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and
Subsequent Events).

Based upon the Company's current plan of operations, it is anticipated that the
net proceeds from the private placement of Series D Preferred completed in April
1998 and the Series E Preferred together with the "Put Rights" (when and if
exercised), will provide sufficient working capital for at least the next 18
months.  The Company may need additional financing in the future if (i) the
Company experiences unexpected costs, (ii) there is a further delay in the
introduction of the Company's Universal Trading System, (iii) the Company fails
to develop successfully the market for its products, (iv) other opportunities
arise which require significant investment, or (v) if the net proceeds from the
Series D Preferred and Series E Preferred private placements prove to be
insufficient for the Company's continued operations. In addition, the Company
may require additional financing to complete any acquisition it may undertake.
If

<PAGE>
 
financing is required, such financing may be raised through additional equity
offerings, joint ventures or other collaborative relationships, borrowings and
other sources. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be
available or, if it is available, that it will be available on acceptable terms.
If additional funds are raised through the issuance of additional equity
securities, the percentage ownership of the then current stockholders of the
Company may be reduced and such equity securities may have rights, preferences
or privileges senior to those of the holders of Common Stock.


Subsequent Events

On July 13, 1998, Arthur J. Bacci agreed to join the Company as senior vice
president and chief financial officer. Mr. Bacci will replace Robert A. Eprile
as Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Bacci was most recently a management consultant
with KPMG Peat Marwick and Price Waterhouse. See Exhibit 10.

On July 15, 1998, the Private Equity Investors completed the purchase of two
shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series E Preferred") with a
liquidation preference of $1,000,000 per share for an aggregate purchase price
of $2,000,000. On the Subscription Date the Private Equity Investors received
warrants (each, a "Warrant") to purchase up to an aggregate of 100,000 shares of
Common Stock. The Warrants are exercisable for five years at an exercise price
of 120% of average closing bid price of the Common stock over the five trading
days preceding the Subscription Date. The Company paid the placement agent (i)
$100,000 (5% of the proceeds), (ii) 0.1 shares of Series E Preferred, and (iii)
a Warrant to purchase up to 60,000 shares of the Common Stock. In addition, an
amount equal to 5% of the proceeds of such purchase will be paid to Adirondack
Capital L.L.C., whose Managing Director is a director of the Company.

Pursuant to the Company's plan to grant options on 6,000,000 shares of Common
Stock at $1.875 per share, which as adopted by the Board of Directors at its
meeting on September 11, 1997, the Board authorized the Company to issue to its
officers, directors, employees and to other contributors to the value of the
Company in July 1998, options to purchase 4,760,000 shares of the Company's
Common Stock.  Of these, 3,987,500 were granted to executive officers and
directors of the Company.  The options granted to executive officers and
directors of the Company will fully vest on July 15, 1999 and will expire on
July 15, 2003.


Year 2000 Compliance

The Company has assessed the potential impact of what is commonly referred to as
the "Year 2000" issue, concerning the inability of certain information systems
and automated equipment to recognize properly and process dates containing the
Year 2000 and beyond. If not corrected, these systems and equipment could fail
or create erroneous results. The Company has determined that none of its systems
and equipment present Year 2000 issues. Regardless of the Year 2000 compliance
of the Company's systems and equipment, there can be no assurance that the
Company will not be adversely affected by the failure of others to become Year
2000 compliant. The potential liabilities and costs associated with Year 2000
compliance cannot be estimated with certainty at this time. Because of the
uncertainties regarding others, there can be no assurance that the Year 2000
issue will not have a material financial impact in any future period. The
Company is currently assessing the Year 2000 risks associated with third parties
with which the Company has material relationships. The Company is also currently
assessing whether a Year 2000 contingency plan should be developed, and the
timetable for doing so if necessary.


                          PART II - OTHER INFORMATION


ITEM 1.   LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Alliant Techsystems, Inc. ("Alliant") with whom the Company has a contract for
the production of certain ATED Encryption Devices, has demanded payment of
approximately $292,000 under the contract, which the Company is contesting.  On
October 22, 1997, ATG(TM) filed a Compliant against Alliant in the Court of
Common Pleas, County of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania for damages and failure of
Alliant to perform its obligations under its contract with ATG(TM). On December
15, 1997, Alliant filed its Answer and Counterclaims seeking damages in an
amount "in excess of $50,000". Both sides have conducted extensive discovery.

Since the filing of the original lawsuit on October 22, 1997, ATG(TM)
encountered warranty related problems while testing the ATED Encryption Device.
Alliant has failed to address the reported problems. As a result, ATG(TM) has
filed a second Complaint against Alliant for breach of warranty. The second
action was commenced on July 20, 1998 and seeks damages in excess of $50,000.

ITEM 4.   MATTERS SUBMITTED TO SHAREHOLDERS FOR VOTE

On May 29, 1998, the Company held a Special Meeting of its stockholders at which

ITEM 5.   OTHER INFORMATION


Electronic Market Center, Inc.

On June 4, 1998, the Company formed EMC as a wholly owned subsidiary, that is
expected to operate and market the Company's to be developed distributed open
finance system ("open finance"), the electronic market center ("eMC(TM)"). The
Company intends to design eMC(TM) for interactive market access by member users
and to provide a global electronic distribution channel for all types of
financial products and services. Although the Company has designed the
specifications for the eMC(TM), there can be no assurance that the Company will
be able to finance the development or to actually develop such finance system.

ATG(TM) International, Inc.

On July 2, 1998, the Company formed a wholly owned subsidiary, ATG(TM)
International, Inc. The international markets represent potentially significant
growth for the application of ATG(TM)'s technology and skills to the development

November 1997, the Company entered into a strategic initiative with Tianjin New
Hong Chen Technology & Trading Company to introduce its online trading
