NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.   The condensed  consolidated  financial statements of SysComm  International
     Corporation  (the  "Company")  are unaudited  (except for the balance sheet
     information  as of September 30, 1999,  which is derived from the Company's
     audited financial statements) and reflect all adjustments  (consisting only
     of normal recurring  adjustments)  which are, in the opinion of management,
     necessary for a fair  presentation of the financial  position and operating
     results for the  interim  periods.  The  condensed  consolidated  financial
     statements  should be read in conjunction with the  consolidated  financial
     statements and notes thereto, contained in the Company's Annual Report. The
     results of  operations  for the nine  months  ended  June 30,  2000 are not
     necessarily  indicative  of the results  for the entire  fiscal year ending
     September 30, 2000, or any future interim period.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results
of Operations.


Results of Operations:
Three Months Ended June 30, 2000 Compared with Three Months Ended June 30, 1999

Net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2000 was $530,000 or $.11 per share
compared to a net loss of $478,000 or $.10 per share for the three  months ended
June 30, 1999.  The net loss was  primarily  the result of  significantly  lower
sales.

Revenues
Sales  revenues  for the three  months  ended  June 30,  2000  were  $10,832,000
compared  with  $14,017,000  for the  same  period  last  year,  a  decrease  of
$3,185,000 or 22.7%.  This  decrease in sales  revenues  reflects  significantly
higher  competition in the sales of hardware  components as well as a transition
to a more service-oriented sales emphasis.

Gross Profit
Gross Profit as a  percentage  of sales was 9.5% for the three months ended June
30, 2000 compared to 8.7% for the same period last year. This increase  reflects
the Company's  strategy of focusing on the more  profitable  mid-range  computer
market and consulting services.

Selling & Administrative Expenses
Selling and  administrative  expenses  for the three  months ended June 30, 2000
decreased by $423,000 or 21.2% to $1,572,000 from $1,995,000 for the same period
last  year.  This  decrease  is due  primarily  to a  decrease  in  payroll  and
payroll-related  expenses associated with streamlining our operating and selling
staff to more effectively utilize our resources.

Interest  Expense  Interest  expense  for the three  months  ended June 30, 2000
increased $3,000 or 8.3% to $39,000 from $36,000 for the same period last year.

Income (loss) from Operations before Income Taxes
The loss before  income tax benefit for the three months ended June 30, 2000 was
$530,000  compared  with a loss of $797,000  for the same period last year.  The
change of $267,000 was primarily  attributable  to lower sales  revenues,  which
were partially offset by increased gross profit margins and decreases in selling
and administrative expenses and interest expenses.

Taxes
The  Company's  effective  tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2000 was
zero  compared  to a tax  benefit of  $319,000 or 40.0% for the same period last
year.

Nine Months Ended June 30, 2000 Compared With Nine Months Ended June 30, 1999

Net loss for the six months  ended June 30,  2000 was  $1,748,000  compared to a
profit of $204,000 for the same period last year.  Basic loss per share was $.37
for the nine months ended June 30, 2000  compared to an income per share of $.04
for the same period last year.  The loss is primarily  the result of lower sales
volume,  particularly  offset by higher gross profit  margins and higher selling
and administrative expenses.

Revenues
Sales  revenues for the nine months ended June 30, 2000 decreased by $23,806,000
or 42.7% to  $31,895,000  from  $55,701,000  for the same period last year.  The
decrease in sales revenue is primarily  attributed to the Company's  decision to
discontinue  low margin PC assembly  operations and focus on sales of e-business
solutions  including mid-range hardware and data and storage management software
and services.


Gross Profit
Gross profit as a percentage  of sales were 11.4% for the nine months ended June
30, 2000 compared to 10.7% for the same period last year. This increase reflects
the Company's strategy to focus on higher margin e-business solutions, mid-range
computer sales and services

Selling & Administrative Expenses
Selling and  administrative  expenses  for the nine  months  ended June 30, 2000
increased  $205,000 or 3.8% to $5,654,000  from  $5,449,000  for the same period
last year. The increase in expenses is primarily  attributable to the commitment
of the  company  to  hiring a more  technical  sales and  service  staff to more
effectively compete in the e-solutions market space.




<PAGE>


Interest Expense
Interest  expenses  for the nine months  ended June 30, 2000  decreased  $98,000
compared to $217,000  for the same  period last year.  The  decrease in interest
expense is directly  related to the  significant  decrease in both inventory and
accounts receivable.

Loss  from Operations before Income Taxes
Loss from operations before income taxes for the nine months ended June 30, 2000
was  $2,024,000  versus a profit of $344,000  in the same period last year.  The
loss is attributable to the decreases in sales volume,  partially  offset by the
increase in gross profit margins and the increase in selling and  administrative
expenses.

Taxes The  Company's  effective tax rate for the nine months ended June 30, 2000
was a tax benefit compared to 40.7% for the same period last year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The  Company's  current  ratio  at June 30,  2000  and  1999 was 2.53 and  2.87,
respectively.  Working  capital at June 30, 2000 was  $6,813,000,  a decrease of
$3,092,000 over the same period last year.

Cash provided by (used in) operating  activities  was  ($276,000) and $5,934,000
for the nine months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively, due primarily to
reductions in the  Company's  inventory  and accounts  receivable.  Cash used in
investing activities was $311,000 and $77,000 for the nine months ended June 30,
2000 and 1999,  respectively,  and was primarily  utilized in the acquisition of
computer  hardware and software.  Cash used in financing  activities  during the
nine  months  ended  June  30,  2000  and  1999  was  $431,000  and  $2,951,000,
respectively,  and  represented  net payments made under the Company's  Supplier
Credit Facility with IBM and long-term debt in 2000 and 1999.

The Company maintains a credit arrangement with IBM Credit Corporation  pursuant
to which it may borrow an amount equal to up to 85% of its eligible  receivables
and 100% of eligible  inventory up to a maximum of  $22,500,000.  In addition to
the  permanent  credit line,  there are various  credit line uplifts  during the
year,  which can  increase  the line of credit by as much as 50%. As of June 30,
2000, interest on outstanding borrowings was prime or prime plus 6.5% should the
Company fail to meet certain collateral requirements. Throughout fiscal 1999 and
the first  nine  months of  fiscal  2000,  the  Company  has been in a  positive
collateral  position with IBM Credit. The Company believes that its present line
of  credit  with IBM  Credit  Corporation,  coupled  with its  current  earnings
capacity,  will be sufficient to meet its capital and  operational  requirements
for at least the next twelve months.

As of June 30, 2000, the Company was in default of certain  covenants  contained
in its  loan  agreement  with  IBM  Credit  Corporation  and  certain  covenants
contained in the mortgage (the  "Mortgage")  on its building in Shirley,  NY. In
both cases, a waiver and amendment have been received which will allow continued
operations.  With respect to the amendment to the IBM Credit  Corporation credit
arrangement,  (i) the  maximum  credit  line was  reduced  to  $22,500,000  from
$27,500,000  and (ii) the Net Profit  after Tax to Revenue  ratio was amended to
provide for a ratio equal to or greater than  ($500,000)  for each of the fiscal
quarters  ended June 30, 2000 and  September 30, 2000 and $0 for the fiscal year
ended  December  31,  2000 and at all times  thereafter.  All  other  collateral
requirements  remain unchanged.  With respect to the Mortgage,  the bank and the
Company  entered into Waiver and Fourth  Amendment  to the Mortgage  pursuant to
which the bank  waived and  amended  the  quarterly  net  loss/profit  provision
contained in the Mortgage to allow up to $496,000 net loss for the quarter ended
March 31, 2000 and limited net loss to $550,000  for the quarter  ended June 30,
2000 and a net profit of $125,000  for the quarter  ended  September  30,  2000.
Also,  the  parties  amended  the debt  service  ratio to require the Company to
maintain the ratio,  beginning December 31, 2000, at 1.25:1.00 on a rolling four
quarters calculation throughout the term of the mortgage.
