1. BUSINESS

Megadata Corporation (the "Company") is a supplier of information, data
services, software, and communication products intended to satisfy the needs of
the aviation industry, primarily airlines and their affiliates, and airports.
Its principal business is the design, manufacture, sale and service of its
PASSUR (Passive Secondary Surveillance Radar) product line consisting of a real
time aircraft monitoring system which incorporates its proprietary PASTRACK
flight tracking software, as well as the delivery of data from such existing
systems. The Company also began installing Company-owned PASSUR systems in
strategic locations throughout the United States. This network of PASSURs,
referred to as the PASSUR Network, provides the Company's customers access to
PASSUR data by subscription. In addition, the Company provides customized
software to its aviation customers. The Company also sells SA9600 Wireless Radio
Modems, MURS, ALCX and RESNET airline reservation access systems.

4. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

During the period between September 18, 1996 and June 6, 1997 the Company signed
agreements with G.S. Beckwith Gilbert (the "Investor"), who has since been named
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company (the "Agreements") that
provided for three loans of $100,000 each, of which $200,000 was received by the
Company in 1996 and $100,000 was received by the Company in 1997. The three
notes bore interest at a rate of 9% per annum, and were payable by July 30,
1997. In addition, as part of the above financing, stock warrants were awarded
for the purchase of up to 1,400,000 common shares at prices between $0.71 and
$1.25 per share. The warrants for 200,000 of such shares (at $0.75 per share)
would only be exercisable after the purchase by the Investor of the first
700,000 shares. The warrant for the additional 500,000 of such shares (at $1.25
per share) becomes exercisable from November 1, 2000 through October 31, 2001,
assuming the prior exercise of the 200,000 share warrant.

On June 6, 1997, the Investor and his affiliates purchased 700,000 shares for
$0.71 per share, for a total investment of $500,000 ($400,000 in cash and
$100,000 by cancellation of the first $100,000 note).

On October 31, 1997, the Investor and two other directors, Mr. Whitman and Mr.
Graziani, purchased 200,000 shares for $150,000. The purchase of these shares
made effective the stock purchase warrant that gives the Investor and his
affiliates the right to purchase 500,000 shares at $1.25 per share. This warrant
expires October 31, 2001, and is exercisable during the year preceding
expiration.

During 1997, the Investor was elected a director of the Company and Chairman of
the Board. On October 2, 1998, the Investor was named to the additional post of
President and Chief Executive Officer. In January 2000, Kenneth J. McNamara was
elected President of the Company. The Investor remains Chairman and CEO.

In fiscal 1999, the Investor loaned the Company an additional $1,125,000 in the
aggregate under promissory notes bearing interest at 9% annum and maturing at
various dates from June 30, 2000 to June 30, 2001. The Company made payments of
principal during the fiscal year totaling $175,000 due to the Investor. During
the quarter ended January 31, 2000, the Company made payments of principal
totaling $25,000 due to the Investor. As of January 31, 2000, the notes due to
the Investor totaled $1,125,000 and are secured by the Company's assets.

4. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS (CONTINUED)

Effective October 1998, the Company began leasing space from Field Point Capital
Management Company (FPCM), a company 100% owned by the Company's Chairman, at
$1,000 per month rent.

For the year ended October 31, 1999, the Company reimbursed FPCM for services
rendered in the amount of $54,000. For the quarter ended January 31, 2000, the
services rendered by FPCM to the Company were $12,710.

5. EARNINGS PER SHARE

The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share", which
was effective for both interim and annual financial statements for periods
ending after December 31, 1997. SFAS 128 replaced the previously reported
primary and fully diluted earnings per share with basic and diluted earnings per
share. Unlike primary earnings per share, basic earnings per share excludes any
dilutive effects of options and warrants. Diluted earnings per share is very
similar to the previously reported fully diluted earnings per share. All
earnings per share amounts for all periods have been presented, and where
necessary, restated to conform to SFAS 128 requirements.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per
share pursuant to SFAS 128.

                MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                       CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------

REVENUE
- -------

Revenue during the three months ended January 31, 2000 increased by
approximately $330,000, or 241%, as compared to the corresponding period ended
January 31, 1999. Increases in revenue occurred in the following sales
categories: PASSUR systems, PASSUR maintenance, PASSUR upgrades, and PASSUR data
subscription incorporating the Company's proprietary PASTRACK software.
Decreases occurred in Radio Modems, Protocol Converters and UNIX Systems.

The Company sold a PASSUR System and completed a PASSUR upgrade during the first
quarter of fiscal 2000. The Company is building additional PASSURs which it
plans to continue installing at major airports as Company owned units, and from
which it will sell the data they generate directly to airline customers.
Management believes that, with the increased sales and marketing effort for the
PASSUR product line, additional revenues from the sale of products and data
services can be realized in the coming fiscal year.

Management is reviewing product offerings and the performance of product lines
in which revenue has decreased over the last two fiscal years.

COST OF SALES
- -------------

During the quarter ended January 31, 2000, cost of sales increased by
approximately $46,000, or 36%, over the same quarter of 1999. The increase was
primarily due to the higher levels of production offset by lower fixed costs
resulting from the sale of the Company's building as well as from the
capitalization of the cost of production for the Company owned PASSUR network.
The network includes PASSURs and workstations incorporating PASTRACK software
which is being installed at major airports.



RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
- ------------------------

The Company's research and development expenses remained approximately the same
in the first quarter of fiscal 2000 as compared to the same period in fiscal
1999. The Company anticipates continuing to incur research and development
expenditures approximately at current levels. Research and development efforts
include activities associated with the enhancement, and improvement of the
Company's existing hardware and software. There was no customer sponsored
research and development during the first quarter of fiscal 2000.



<PAGE>


SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE
- -----------------------------------

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by approximately $8,000,
or 3%, during the first three months of fiscal 2000 as compared to the same
period in fiscal 1999. The Company has continued its intensive sales and
marketing effort. In January 2000, the Company hired a president, who is serving
as chief operating officer, with extensive experience in the aviation industry.
Increases in salaries, professional fees, travel, and advertising expenses were
largely offset by lower consulting fees.

NET INCOME (LOSS)
- -----------------

The Company earned net income of $15,153, or $.01 per common share, during the
three month period ended January 31, 2000. In the same period of fiscal 1999,
the Company generated a net loss of $268,856, or $.11 per common share.

During the quarter ended January 31, 2000, revenue increased 241% while costs
and expenses increased by only 36% resulting in a net income of $15,153. The
revenue from the increase in sales comes largely from the PASSUR product line
and more than offsets the higher operating costs resulting from increased
production levels.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------

At January 31, 2000, the Company's current liabilities exceeded current assets
by $694,739. Management is addressing this working capital deficiency by
aggressively marketing its PASSUR systems and by the recent introduction of the
data subscription services. In addition, the Company will attempt to obtain
external financing, and if such external financing is not consummated, the
Company will receive the financial support of one of its stockholders.

The Company was profitable for the first quarter of fiscal 2000 and the last two
quarters of fiscal 1999 and a continuation of this trend could lead to sustained
profitability in fiscal 2000, although no assurances can be provided in this
regard. Since the increased sales effort began in August 1998, the Company has
seen many positive signs that its PASSUR product line could provide additional
revenue. With the Company's decision to establish a network of Company-owned
PASSUR sites, additional revenue could be earned through its subscription
services. However, increased competition, and continued budget constraints among
its clients, could impact this potential revenue.

Interest by potential customers in the Company's PASSUR systems remains strong
and the Company anticipates an increase in future revenue. However, the Company
cannot predict if such revenue will materialize. If sales do not continue to
increase, losses may recur. The extent of such profits or losses will be
dependent on the sales volume achieved.

THE YEAR 2000 ISSUE
- -------------------

The Company's internal systems and PASSUR hardware and software have been
reviewed and found to be Year 2000 compliant. Since January 1, 2000, no Year
2000 problems have been reported by users of any of these systems.


MARKET RISKS
- ------------

The Company does not have any significant financial instruments that are
sensitive to market risks.

RISK FACTORS; FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
- ----------------------------------------

The Management's Discussion and Analysis and the information provided elsewhere
in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (including, without limitation, "Liquidity
and Capital Resources" above) contain forward-looking statements regarding the
Company's future plans, objectives, and expected performance. These statements
are based on assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable, but are
subject to a wide range of risks and uncertainties, and a number of factors
could cause the Company's actual results to differ materially from those
expressed in the forward-looking statements referred to above. These factors
include, among others, the uncertainties related to the ability of the Company
to make new sales of its PASSUR and other product lines due to potential
competitive pressure from other companies or other products. Other uncertainties
which could impact the Company are uncertainties with respect to future changes
in governmental regulation affecting the product and its use in flight dispatch.
Additional uncertainties are related to the Company's ability to find and
maintain the personnel necessary to sell, manufacture, and service its products.
