AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES

1.    BASIS OF PRESENTATION

      The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of
      Continental Information Systems Corporation and its subsidiaries (the
      "Company") contain all adjustments which are, in the opinion of
      management, necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim
      periods presented. While certain information and footnote disclosures
      normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with
      generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted,
      the Company believes that the disclosures herein are adequate to make the
      information not misleading. The results of operations for the nine months
      ended February 29, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results for
      the full year. These statements should be read in conjunction with the
      consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes for the fiscal
      year ended May 31, 1999, appearing in the Company's Form 10-K.

2.    NET INCOME PER SHARE

      EARNINGS PER SHARE are calculated in accordance with Financial Accounting
      Standard No. 128 (SFAS 128) EARNINGS PER SHARE, which specifies standards
      for computing and disclosing net income (loss) per share. Basic and
      diluted net loss per share for the nine months ended February 29, 2000 and
      February 28, 1999, were computed based on the weighted average number of
      shares of common stock outstanding during the periods. As of February 29,
      2000, the Company had outstanding options to purchase 354,949 shares of
      common stock (see Note 5). The effect of these options is antidilutive in
      the computation of diluted net loss per share.

3.    ESTIMATES

      The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
      accepted accounting principles requires management to make certain
      estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions may affect the
      reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent
      assets and liabilities, at the date of the financial statements. These
      estimates and assumptions may also affect the reported amounts of revenue
      and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ
      from these estimates.

4.    RECLASSIFICATIONS

      Certain prior period balances have been reclassified to conform to the
      current period financial statement presentation.

5.    STOCK OPTION PLAN

      In 1995, the Board of Directors adopted and the stockholders approved the
      Continental Information Systems Corporation 1995 Stock Compensation Plan
      (the "1995 Plan"). The 1995 Plan provides for the issuance of options
      covering up to 1,000,000 shares of common stock and stock grants of up to
      500,000 shares of common stock to non-employee directors of the Company
      and, in the discretion of the Board of Directors, to employees of, and
      independent contractors and consultants to, the Company.

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

                                  INTRODUCTION

The following discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of
operations of the Company should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements and the notes thereto for the fiscal year ended May 31,
1999, appearing in the Company's Form 10-K.

All statements contained herein that are not historical facts, including but not
limited to, statements regarding anticipated future capital requirements, the
Company's future development and acquisitions plans, the Company's ability to
obtain additional debt, equity or other financing, the Company's ability to
generate cash from operations and future savings from existing operations, and
the Company's future business plans, are based on current expectations. These
statements are forward looking in nature and involve a number of risks and
uncertainties. The actual results may differ significantly from those currently
anticipated. Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ
materially are the availability of sufficient capital to finance the Company's
business plan on terms satisfactory to the Company; competitive factors, such as
the introduction of new technologies and competitors into the commercial
aviation industries; risks attendant to the Company's securities processing
software subsidiary, including the risk that the Company will be unable to
establish necessary strategic market relationships or that such relationships
will be unsuccessful, the risk related to uncertainty of demand and market
acceptance for newly introduced, technology-based products and services, the
risk of target users not adopting the Company's technologies as a preferred
method for facilitating securities trades, and risks associated with
technologies and computer programs that have not been subject to real-world
performance conditions; the risks attendant to real estate finance generally,
including the risks of leverage, risks of borrower default, general economic and
real estate market conditions, and competition for attractive real estate
finance investments; pricing pressures which could affect demand for the
Company's services; changes in labor, equipment and capital costs; future
acquisitions; general business, economic and regulatory conditions; and the
other risk factors described from time to time in the Company's reports filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The Company wishes to
caution readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward looking
statements, which statements are made pursuant to the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and, as such, speak only as of the date made.

                              RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

COMPARISON OF THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED FEBRUARY 29, 2000 AND FEBRUARY 28,
1999

CONTINUING OPERATIONS

REVENUES
Total revenues decreased 58% to $2.2 million for the three months ended February
29, 2000 from $5.3 million for the comparable fiscal quarter in 1999. For the
nine months ended February 29, 2000, total revenues decreased 36% to $8.7
million from $13.5 million for the comparable fiscal period in 1999. The
decrease in total revenues are attributable to the Company ceasing the
origination of new equipment leases and the sale of a substantial portion of the
Company's lease portfolio as of August 31, 1999.

Equipment sales decreased 74% to $0.8 million for the three months ended
February 29, 2000 from $3.1 million for the comparable period in 1999. For
the nine months ended February 29, 2000, equipment sales decreased 38% to
$3.9 million compared to $6.3 million for the comparable period in 1999. In
February 2000, equipment leases with the net book value $430,000 were sold to
a lessee. A gain of $260,000 was recorded on the sale. Sales in CIS Air
Subsidiary for three months ended February 29, 2000 were $55,000 down from
$1.6 million in the comparable fiscal period in 1999. For the nine months
ended February 29, 2000 sales in the CIS Air were lower by $3.2 million,
offset by an increase in sales in the leasing division by $0.8 million.

Income from equipment rentals and direct financing leases for the three and nine
months ended February 29, 2000, decreased $758,000 (38%) and $1.7 million (28%),
respectively, from the comparable periods in 1999. Lease rentals and income from
direct financing leases were lower in the amount of $1.3 million for the nine
month period due to the sale of a substantial portion of the lease portfolio and
several engines coming off lease in the CIS Air subsidiary.

The Company is assessing its options with respect to its aviation business in
light of current conditions in the global aircraft market, which have resulted
in a decline in asset values, and in light of the Company's commitment of
resources to its securities processing software subsidiary. As a result, the
Company is restricting its new investments in aviation assets. Income from air
operations may continue to decline in future periods.

Interest, fees and other income for the three and nine months ended February 29,
2000 were $162,000 and $511,000, respectively, compared to $253,000 and
$1,117,000 for the comparable periods in 1999. The respective decreases of
$91,000 (36%) and $606,000 (54%) principally reflect declines in Equipment
Management Income and Other Fee Income for CIS Air as a result of the suspension
of management fees from the JetStream Partnerships. The managing partners of the
JetStream Partnerships have solicited and received unitholders' approval for the
liquidation of the JetStream Partnerships and for the payment of a marketing fee
upon the sale of the Partnerships' assets. The marketing of the JetStream
Partnerships' assets began in January 2000 and is expected to be completed
within one year.

COSTS AND EXPENSES
Costs and expenses for the three and nine months ended February 29, 2000
decreased by $1.9 million (36%) and $2.4 million (18%), respectively, from the
comparable periods in 1999.

Depreciation of rental equipment for the three and nine months ended February
29, 2000 decreased to approximately $0.8 million and $3.1 million respectively,
from $1.3 million and $4.1 million, for the comparable periods in 1999. This
decrease is due to a decline in the renting of equipment as a result of the sale
of substantially all of the Company's equipment leases as well an aircraft and
several engines coming off lease at the end of the quarter in August 1999.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended February
29, 2000 were $1.6 million as compared to $1.0 million for the comparable period
in 1999. This increase is attributable to development expenses in the Company's
securities processing software subsidiary (T1Xpert.com Corp.) in the amount of
$769,000. For the nine months ended February 29, 2000, selling, general and
administrative expenses were $3.9 million as compared to $2.9 million for the
comparable period in 1999. This increase is attributable to employee severance
benefits and headquarters' closing expenses in the amount of $94,000, increased
legal fees relating to litigation with two lessees of CIS Air in the amount of
$261,000, consulting fees for CIS Air in the amount of $133,000, as well as
startup expenses in the amount of $884,000 for the T1Xpert.com Corp. subsidiary.
The increase of $1.4 million was offset by a decrease in payroll expenses in the
amount of $404,000. The Company expects that it will continue to incur
start-up expenses for T1Xpert.com before this subsidiary begins to generate
significant revenues. The Company has authorized expenditures for this
project of up to $3.0 million, and additional costs will be incurred before
revenues commence.

INCOME TAXES

For the three and nine months ended February 28, 1999, a provision for deferred
income tax benefit on loss from operations was recorded, at an effective tax
rate of 38%, in the amounts of $4,000 and $112,000, respectively. For the
quarter ended February 29, 2000, a provision for deferred income tax benefit on
loss from operations was not recorded, since, in management's opinion, the
realizability of such deferred tax asset was uncertain in light of the Company's
actual operating results since reorganization.

                         LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Net cash used in operations for the nine months ended February 29, 2000 was $3.9
million as compared to net cash provided by operations in the amount of $2.6
million for the comparable period in 1999.

Net cash provided by investing activities for the nine months ended February 29,
2000 was $2.7 million compared to $660,000 for the nine months ended February
28, 1999. The Company purchased $1.6 million of additional rental equipment
during the nine months ended February 29, 2000 as compared to $9.1 million for
the comparable period in 1999. The Company invested $280,000 in mortgage
participation notes during the nine months ended February 29, 2000 as compared
to proceeds of $850,000 from investment in mortgage participation notes for the
comparable period in 1999.

In August 1999, the Company announced that its subsidiary CIS Corporation would
no longer enter into new equipment leases. The Company has authorized in its
first year of development the expenditure of $3.0 million in start up operating
funds for T1Xpert.com Corp., its securities processing software subsidiary.
During the nine months ended February 29, 2000, the Company expended $889,000 in
T1Xpert.com. As previously stated, the Company has committed up to $3.0 million
to fund T1Xpert.com; approximately $2.1 million of this amount remains. The
Company currently intends to seek strategic investors to raise necessary funds
to finance T1Xpert.com after this amount is expended. There is a risk that the
Company may not be able to attract such strategic investors. If such investors
are not found, and the Company were to choose to advance additional funds, the
Company may find it necessary to liquidate existing assets possibly below market
and/or carrying value to finance T1Xpert.com.

Proceeds from lease, bank and institution financings for the nine months ended
February 29, 2000 and February 28, 1999 were $3.9 million and $13.4 million,
respectively, while repayments on these financings were $4.3 million and $14.1
million for the respective 2000 and 1999 periods.

As of February 29, 2000, the Company had $4.1 million in cash and cash
equivalents, as compared to $5.9 million at February 28, 1999 and $5.8 million
at May 31, 1999. In August 1999, proceeds of $2.9 million were received by CIS
in connection with the sale of substantially all of its equipment lease
portfolio. The Company has established the CIS Air Loan Facility with a
financing institution to provide lease and inventory financing for aircraft
engines for its operating subsidiary CIS Air, in the amount of $10,000,000. The
revolving facility has a three-year term and permits borrowing equal to a
percentage of the appraised value of the aircraft engines financed.
Substantially all of the assets of CIS Air are pledged as collateral for the
loan. At February 29, 2000, $7,132,000 of this facility was being utilized. The
CIS Air Loan Facility bears interest at prime plus 1/4 % and expires in December
2000.

                           PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

CIS Air Corporation ("CIS Air") has three actions pending against Eastwind
Airlines, a lesee of aircraft and engines.

    1.   On Sept 24, 1999 CIS Air, along with two other creditors, filed a
         petition for involuntary bankruptcy against Eastwind in the Bankruptcy
         Court in Delaware asserting a claim of $4,623,383 consisting primarily
         of non payment of aircraft lease payments and reserves, violations of
         the return provisions, non payment for engine leases and non return of
         a damaged engine. The matter is still in the discovery and document
         production stages of the litigation.

    2.   CIS Air previously sued Eastwind in state court, New York County. That
         action is stayed pending resolution of the bankruptcy action.

    3.   CIS Air has commenced an action in the United States District Court for
         the Southern District of New York against UM Holdings, the sole
         shareholder of Eastwind, seeking damages in the amount of $4,623,383
         based on the assumption of liability by UM of Eastwind's obligations.
         The matter is in the early stages of litigation.

CIS Air has also filed suit in the United States District Court for the Southern
District of New York against Cigna Insurance for failure to pay CIS Air $400,000
as loss payee under an engine damage policy procured by Eastwind for the benefit
of CIS Air. Cigna has acknowledged liability but payment is complicated by the
bankruptcy proceedings against Eastwind. Any proceeds received by the Company as
a result of this suit would offset the claims against Eastwind and UM.

CIS Air filed suit in November 1999 against AeroTurbine, a Florida-based
corporation, in state court in North Carolina. The suit alleges that
AeroTurbine, in removing hushkits that it had purchased which were annexed to
two CIS engines, negligently damaged the CIS engines, thereby causing CIS to
incur expenses in repairing them. AeroTurbine has filed a counterclaim seeking
unspecified damages. The matter is in the discovery phase of litigation.

On March 3, 2000, Dallas AeroSpace, Inc. ("Dallas") of Texas filed suit in the
United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against CIS
Air for breach of contract and other causes of action in connection with the
sale of an engine to Dallas in August 1997. Dallas is seeking damages for the
purchase price of the engine in the amount of $1,150,000. CIS Air's time to
answer has not expired, but it intends to vigorously defend this matter, and
denies any liability on any of the causes of action.
