                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)


     1.    GENERAL:

      Orion Financial,  Ltd. (the "Company"),  has elected to substantially omit
      all  footnotes  to the  Financial  Statements  for  the six  months  ended
      December  31,  1996,  since  there  have been no  material  changes to the
      information  previously reported by the Company in its annual report filed
      on Form 10-K, for the year ended June 30, 1996.

     2.    UNAUDITED INFORMATION:

      The information herein was taken from the books and records of the Company
      without audit.  However,  such information  reflects all adjustments which
      are,  in the  opinion  of  management,  necessary  in  order  to make  the
      financial  statements not  misleading.  The  information  presented is not
      necessarily  indicative  of the results from  operations  expected for the
      full fiscal year.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR
                               PLAN OF OPERATIONS


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Orion Financial,  Ltd. (the "Company") had working capital at December 31, 1996,
of  approximately  $216,837,  which should be sufficient for the Company to fund
its obligations for the next 18 to 24 months provided the Company does not enter
into a business  combination that provides the Company with business operations.
The Company's  minimal cash position limits the Company in its future  direction
because  it does  not  have  the  ability  to  raise  additional  funds  through
borrowings or equity offerings given its lack of business  operations.  The long
term  survivability of the Company depends on whether or not the Company is able
to enter into a  business  combination  that  would  provide  the  Company  with
successful business operations.

The Company has no material commitments for capital expenditures.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The Company had no significant  operations  during the fiscal  quarter.  Revenue
consists solely of interest  income on the remaining cash on hand.  Expenses are
generally  related to the payment of  professional  fees in the  preparation  of
filings pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and minimal
compensation to the Company's President.

The  Company is  continually  reviewing  business  combination  proposals  in an
ongoing effort to combine the Company with an organization  which has successful
operations.
