                    INFODATA SYSTEMS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (UNAUDITED)

NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The  accompanying   unaudited  consolidated  financial  statements  have  been
prepared in accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting  principles  for
interim  financial  information  and with the  instructions to Form 10-QSB and
Item 310(b) of  Regulation  S-B.  Accordingly,  they do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles
for  complete  financial  statements.  In  the  opinion  of  management,   all
adjustments  (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary
for a fair  presentation  have been included.  Operating results for the three
month period  ended March 31,  2000,  are not  necessarily  indicative  of the
results for the year ending December 31, 2000. For further information,  refer
to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1999.

NOTE B - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
1)    REVENUE  RECOGNITION - The Company  recognizes  revenue from the sale of
      software  licenses in accordance  with  Statement of Positions No. 97-2,
      "Software  Revenue  Recognition",  as  amended.  Revenues  from  license
      arrangements are recognized upon shipment of the product when persuasive
      evidence of an  arrangement  exists,  delivery has occurred,  the fee is
      fixed and determinable  and  collectibility  is probable.  If an ongoing
      vendor  obligation  exists  under the  license  arrangement,  revenue is
      deferred based on vendor-specific  objective evidence of the undelivered
      element.  If  vendor-specific  objective evidence does not exist for all
      undelivered elements,  all revenue is deferred until sufficient evidence
      exists  or all  elements  have  been  delivered.  Revenues  from  annual
      maintenance  and support are  deferred and  recognized  ratably over the
      term  of  the  contract.  Revenues  from  consulting  and  training  are
      recognized  when  the  services  are  performed  and  collectibility  is
      determined to be probable.  Revenues from  consulting  and  professional
      services contracts are recognized on the percentage-of-completion method
      for fixed price contracts and on the basis of hours incurred at contract
      rates for time and materials contracts. Revenues from cost reimbursement
      contracts  are  recognized  as costs are  incurred.  Any amounts paid by
      customers  prior to the actual  performance  of services are recorded as
      deferred revenue until earned,  at which time the amounts are recognized
      in accordance with the type of contract.

      The Company also provides  off-the-shelf  hardware and software products
      to the U.S. government under the GSA Schedule Contract and to commercial
      companies.  The related  revenue is recognized when products are shipped
      or when customers  have accepted the products,  depending on contractual
      terms.

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

3)    NEW  ACCOUNTING  PRONOUNCEMENTS  - In December  1999, The Securities and
      Exchange  Commission (SEC) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 (SAB
      101) which  summarizes  certain  of the SEC  staff's  views in  applying
      generally  accepted  accounting  principles  to revenue  recognition  in
      financial  statements.  In March  2000 the SEC issued  Staff  Accounting
      Bulletin  No.  101A,  which  defers the  effective  date of SAB 101 from
      January 1, 2000 to April 1, 2000. The initial  adoption of this guidance


                                      6

<PAGE>

      is not anticipated to have a material impact on the Company's results of
      operations,  cash flows or financial position, however, the guidance may
      impact  the  way  in  which  the   Company   will   account  for  future
      transactions.


NOTE C - LINE OF CREDIT

The Company  maintains a line of credit with Merrill Lynch Business  Financial
Services,  Inc. for up to $1,000,000 based upon eligible  receivables at a per
annum rate  equal to the sum of 2.9% plus the 30 day  commercial  paper  rate.
Currently,  this per annum rate  approximates  prime  9.0% at March 31,  2000.
Advances on the facility are based on eligible  accounts  receivable less than
90 days old. The facility  expires in October  2000.  The Company did not have
any borrowings under the line of credit as of March 31, 2000.

NOTE D - SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW INFORMATION

No cash was paid for income tax or interest in either period.

NOTE E - BUSINESS AQUISITIONS

On March 30, 2000, the Company  acquired a business unit from Earth  Satellite
Corporation  specializing in providing  software  development  services to the
U.S. intelligence community.  The Company issued 40,000 shares of Common stock
with a per share  fair  value of  $3.563,  equal to the  trading  price of the
Company's Common stock on such a date. The fair value of the acquisition price
was $142,520 which was  attributed to the business  units sole  contract.  The
value of the contract is being amortized over its life of 18 months.

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

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS RELATING TO PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT,  FUTURE CONTRACTS,
REVENUE,  THE ADEQUACY OF WORKING CAPITAL,  AND YEAR 2000 ARE BASED ON CURRENT
EXPECTATIONS THAT INVOLVE UNCERTAINTIES AND RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH NEW PRODUCTS
AND  SERVICE  OFFERINGS  INCLUDING,  BUT NOT LIMITED  TO,  MARKET  CONDITIONS,
SUCCESSFUL  PRODUCT  DEVELOPMENT,  SERVICE  INTRODUCTION  AND ACCEPTANCE,  THE
INTRODUCTION OF COMPETITIVE PRODUCTS,  ECONOMIC CONDITIONS,  AND THE TIMING OF
ORDERS AND  CONTRACT  INITIATION.  THE  COMPANY'S  ACTUAL  RESULTS  MAY DIFFER
MATERIALY  FROM CURRENT  EXPECTATIONS.  READERS ARE CAUTIONED NOT TO PUT UNDUE
RELIANCE ON  FORWARD-LOOKING  STATEMENTS.  THE COMPANY DISCLAIMS ANY INTENT OR
OBLIGATION TO UPDATE PUBLICLY THESE FORWARD-LOOKING  STATEMENTS,  WHETHER AS A
RESULT OF NEW INFORMATION, FUTURE EVENTS OR OTHERWISE.

COMPANY OVERVIEW

The Company  provides  its  customers  with the design and  implementation  of
complex   e-business   systems  for   emerging   B2B   companies   with  short
time-to-market  requirements  and the  design  and  development  of  web-based
knowledge  management (KM) systems,  and electronic  document management (EDM)
systems.  These  products and services are provided in three market  segments.
The  segments  consist  of  (i)  business-to-business  (B2B)  web-site  design
solutions,   knowledge  management   consulting,   or  "e-Content"   solutions
("Solutions"),   (ii)  sales  of   proprietary   products   such  as  Compose,
INQUIRE/text  ("Proprietary  Products"),  and  (iii)  the sale of third  party
software and hardware ("Third Party  Products") on a limited basis.  Solutions
includes  web-based  knowledge   management  systems   integration,   document
management analysis and implementation,  web-site design, system architecture,
application  development,  and  turnkey  implementation  of  complex  B2B  web
infrastructures  and consulting  services  surrounding the  implementation  of
proprietary  products,  and Third Party  Products  coupled with other  related
services.  Proprietary Products include INQUIRE/Text  software sales, Compose,
Aerial and their associated maintenance. Third Party Products include software
and hardware with some related services. For the quarter ended March 31, 2000,
Solutions accounted for 79% of total revenue,  Proprietary  Products accounted
for 18% and Third Party accounted for the remaining 3%.

At March 31, 2000,  the Company had a net operating  loss ("NOL")  aggregating
approximately  $12,037,000  available to affect future taxable  income.  Under
Section  382 of the  Internal  Revenue  Code of  1986,  as  amended  ("Code"),
utilization of prior NOLs is subject to certain limitations following a change
in ownership.  As a result of the AMBIA  acquisition in July 1997, the Company
is subject to limitations on the use of its NOL. Accordingly,  there can be no
assurance  the Company will be able to utilize a  significant  amount of NOLs.
Due to  uncertainty  of taxable  income to utilize  the NOL, a full  valuation
allowance has been established with respect to the deferred tax asset.

Revenues from consulting  services are recognized as the work progresses.  Any
amounts  paid by  customers  prior to the actual  performance  of services are
recorded as deferred  revenue until earned,  at which time they are recognized
in accordance with the type of contract.  Revenues from software  licenses are
recorded in accordance  with the provisions of the Statement of Position 97-2,
"Software Revenue Recognition", as amended. Revenues from customer support and
maintenance  agreements  are  recognized  over  the  period  that  support  is
provided.  Deferred  revenue is  recognized  with respect to  pre-payments  of
maintenance agreements.


                                      9

On March 30, 2000, the Company  acquired a business unit from Earth  Satellite
Corporation  specializing in providing  software  development  services to the
U.S.  intelligence  community.  The  acquisition  of the business  unit brings
additional  customer and teaming contracts which expand the Company's presence
in the  Intelligence  community  including a discipline  known as  Information
Warfare. In conjunction with this acquisition the Company issued 40,000 shares
of Common stock with a fair value of $142,520.

Deferred  revenue at March 31, 2000 was  $693,000.  This related  primarily to
amounts from maintenance revenues on the INQUIRE/Text  product. The balance of
deferred revenue  generally relates to consulting  services.  The margins that
will be realized on transactions involving deferred revenue depend on the type
of service rendered by the Company.  Most of the Company's maintenance revenue
pertains  to  INQUIRE/Text,  which  is a  mature  software  product.  Deferred
revenues  from  consulting  services  carry lower gross  margins than deferred
revenues on maintenance agreements.

The  components of the Company's  cost of revenue are dependent on the product
or service. For consulting, the most significant item is the direct labor cost
of  the  consultants.  Other  cost  components  include  subcontractor  costs,
non-labor  direct costs such as travel and  associated  indirect  costs (e.g.,
office rent,  administration,  etc.)  allocated to the consulting  engagement.
Indirect  costs are allocated  based on head count and utilized  office space.
For Third Party  Products,  the cost of revenue  includes the cost incurred by
the Company to acquire the product, shipping and delivery charges,  associated
taxes, customization work done by the Company, and any special packaging costs
incurred.  The cost of maintenance  revenue  includes the customer service and
software  engineering  personnel  supporting  the product and an allocation of
associated  indirect costs.  For Proprietary  Products,  the Company  includes
shipping,  delivery,  packaging,  production,  the direct  labor of  personnel
involved in delivering the product and any associated  expenses  involved with
the installation.

The  Company's  future  operating  results  may  vary  significantly  and  are
difficult to predict due to a number of factors,  of which many are beyond our
control.  These factors include, the demand for our services and products, the
level of product and price competition,  the length of the consulting services
sales cycle, the delay or deferral of customer implementation,  the success of
our direct sales force and indirect distribution channels, the mix of products
and  services  sold,  the timing of new hires,  the  ability of the Company to
control costs,  and general domestic  economic and political  conditions which
could have an adverse  effect on the  Company's  ability to meet its operating
goals.

REVENUES

The Company  derives  revenues  from three  segments,  Solutions,  Proprietary

Revenues from Solutions  increased overall by $288,000 or 15%, from $1,861,000
for the three  months ended March 31, 1999 to  $2,149,000  for the three month
period ended March 31, 2000. The Business  Solutions unit within the Solutions
segment  increased by $191,000,  or 18%, from  $1,091,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 1999 to  $1,282,000  for the three months ended March 31, 2000
due to increases in consulting services.  In the first quarter ended March 31,
2000,  loss of revenue of $217,000 for training and Mountain  view  consulting
due to the deemphasis of those  operations was more than offset by $437,000 of
e-commerce  B2B revenue.  Excluding  training and Mountain  view  revenues the
Business  Solutions revenue increased by $ 408,000,  or 48%, from $854,000 for
the three  months  ended March 31, 1999 to  $1,262,000  for the first  quarter
ended March 31, 2000.  The  Intelligence  Solutions  unit within the Solutions
segment  increased by  $117,000,  or 18%,  from  $646,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 1999 to $763,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 due
to an increase in  classified  government  work.  The Inquire  Solutions  unit
within the Solutions segment  decreased by $20,000,  or 16%, from $124,000 for
the three months ended March 31, 1999 to $104,000 for the first  quarter ended
March 31,  2000 due to a  decline  in  INQUIRE/Text  maintenance  and  Inquire
consulting services.

Proprietary Product revenue decreased by $634,000,  or 56% from $1,138,000 for
the three  months  ended March 31, 1999 to $504,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 2000. In the first  quarter in 1999,  revenue from the Adobe license
of $ 500,000  was  earned  and there was no  equivalent  revenue  in the first
quarter ended March 31, 2000. There were declines in Aerial, Re:mark and other
related  products  partially  offset by an  increase  in Compose  and  related
maintenance.  The Company  expects  that  INQUIRE/Text  related  revenue  will
continue to decline over time as customers move applications off mainframes.

Third Party  Product sales  decreased by $316,000,  or 81%, from $ 391,000 for
the three  months  ended March  31,1999 to $75,000 for the three  months ended
March 31,  2000.  Revenues  decreased as the  Company's  decision to refocus a
majority of its business away from sales of lower gross margin products.

GROSS PROFIT

Gross profit  decreased by $177,000,  or 15%,  from  $1,220,000  for the three
months ended March 31, 1999 to $1,043,000 for the three months ended March 31,
2000. The reason for the decline is attributed to the non-recurring  licensing
fee of $ 500,000 from Adobe for the first quarter ended March 31, 1999 coupled
with a marginal decline in proprietary products (Compose, Aerial, Re:mark) and
INQUIRE/Text maintenance revenue which have high gross margins.

Gross margin as a percent of revenues  increased from 36% for the three months
ended March 31, 1999 to 38% for the three  months  ended March 31,  2000.  The
nominal  increase in gross margin of 2% is attributed to higher profit margins
on various consulting service fixed price contracts.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES

Research and development  expenses decreased  $153,000,  or 65%, from $235,000
for the three  months  ended March 31,  1999 to $82,000  for the three  months
ended March 31, 2000. The decrease was attributed to the Company's decision to
reduce development of its proprietary products.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

Selling,  general and administrative  expenses decreased $80,000,  or 6%, from
$1,256,000  for the three  months ended March 31, 1999 to  $1,176,000  for the
three  months  ended March 31,  2000.  The  decrease was due to a reduction in
selling costs and in administrative personnel.

INTEREST INCOME AND EXPENSE

Net  interest  income  decreased  $17,000 or 34%,  from  $50,000 for the three
months  ended March 31, 1999 to $33,000 for the three  months  ended March 31,
2000.  The reduction in net interest  income is due to lower cash balances and
short-term  investments  in the first quarter ended March 31, 2000 compared to
the same  quarter  ended  March 31,  1999.  There were no  borrowings  and the
Company  incurred  no  interest  expense in either  period.  The  Company  has
invested in short-term money market instruments and commercial paper.

NET LOSS

As a result of the above,  the net loss  decreased  by $39,000,  or 18%,  from
$221,000  for the three  months ended March 31, 1999 to $182,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 2000. The primary reason for the decrease is due to the
better  utilization  in  consulting   personnel,   decreases  in  Selling  and
Administrative  and Research and Development costs, lower direct costs coupled
with  higher  gross  margins  which more than  offset  the  decline in segment
profitability.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At March 31,  2000,  the Company had cash,  cash  equivalents  and  short-term
investments of $2,676,000.  Net working  capital at March 31, 2000 amounted to
$2,376,000  as compared to  $2,309,000  at March 31, 1999.  The Company had no
borrowings as of March 31, 2000.  The Company  maintains a line of credit with
Merrill Lynch Business Financial Services, Inc. ("MLBFS") for up to $1,000,000
based upon eligible  receivables.  Interest on any outstanding debt under this
line is  calculated  at a per  annum  rate  equal to the sum of 2.9%  plus the
30-day  commercial  paper rate.  Currently,  this per annum rate  approximates
prime. This facility expires in October 2000. The line of credit is contingent
upon the Company  continuing  to meet certain  general  funding  requirements,
including the absence of any material adverse change in the Company's business
or   financial   condition,   the   continued   accuracy   of  the   Company's
representations  and  warranties  and the  provision of quarterly  and monthly
financial  information.  The Company is  currently  in  compliance  with these
funding requirements.

<PAGE>

Net cash used in  operating  activities  for the three  months ended March 31,
2000 of $17,000 was due to the  Company's net loss for the period of $182,000,
and an increase in accounts receivable of $215,000.  This was partially offset
by  an  increase  in  accounts  payable  and  accrued  expenses  of  $188,000,
depreciation  and  amortization  expenses  of  $122,000,  and an  increase  in
deferred revenue of $72,000.

Net cash used in  investing  activities  for the three  months ended March 31,
2000 of  $191,000  was due to a net  increase  in  short-term  investments  of
$100,000 and the purchase of fixed assets of $91,000.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31,
2000 of $155,000 due to the  issuance of common stock to employees  exercising
stock options.

Net cash flow from  operating  activities for the three months ended March 31,
2000 was not  sufficient  to fund the  operations  of the  business.  However,
management  believes that available working capital will be sufficient to meet
its  requirements  for the next  twelve  months.  The  Company's  actual  cash
requirements  may vary  materially from those now planned and will depend upon
numerous  factors,  including the general  market  acceptance of the Company's
products and services,  the growth of the Company's  marketing  channels,  the
technological advances and activities of competitors, and other factors.

CONTINGENCIES

Costs  charged to cost-type  U.S.  government  contracts are subject to annual
audit  by  the  Defense   Contract  Audit  Agency  or  other  duly  authorized
representatives of the Federal  government.  No audits have been completed for
any periods commencing after 1994. Audits for years 1995 through 1998 began on
April  5,  2000 in the  second  quarter,  and in the  opinion  of  management,
adjustments resulting from the completion of such audits and future audits are
not expected to have a material impact on the Company's  financial position or
results of future operations.

From time to time,  the Company is subject to claims  arising in the  ordinary
course of business. In the opinion of management, no such matter, individually
or in the aggregate, exists which is expected to have a material effect on the
results of operations, cash flows or financial position of the Company.


IMPACT OF THE YEAR 2000

To date, the Company has experienced no significant adverse effects related to
the Year 2000 computer issue. All important  internal  information  technology
systems  made a  seamless  transition  into the Year  2000 and  there  were no
notable  problems  with  equipment or systems  which may have been effected by
Year 2000  problems.  The  Company is not aware of any  significant  Year 2000
problems at any of its customers  nor has the Company noted any  disruption in
its supply chain related to Year 2000 issues.

The Company implemented a comprehensive  project plan to identify internal and
external information  technology and non-information  technology systems which
required modification or upgrade to be made Year 2000 compliant.  An inventory
and  assessment  of these  systems was completed by the third quarter of 1999.
Remediation and testing of non-Year 2000 compliant  systems was also completed
during  the  fourth  quarter  of  1999.  The  Company   developed  and  tested
contingency  plans which identified  workarounds in the event of a malfunction
of a system  designated  as a  priority  system  at the  inventory  stage.  In
addition,  the Company  identified  suppliers of key goods and services to all
business areas,  requested  information  about their Year 2000 readiness,  and
audited certain key suppliers for Year 2000 readiness.


                                      13

<PAGE>

The Company had spent approximately $23,800 primarily for capital expenditures
as of December 31, 1999 to become Year 2000 compliant.  These expenditures are
for  external  costs  and  do not  include  costs  of  Company  employees  who
implemented the  comprehensive  project plan described  above. As of March 31,
2000 the Company has not incurred any  additional  external  costs and has not
experienced  any  problems  associated  with Year 2000.  However,  the Company
believes  that if any  additional  resources are required to address Year 2000
issues they will not be  material.  However,  there can be no  assurance  that
currently unidentified Year 2000 issues, if any, will not arise, especially in
areas outside the Company;  that these issues will not have a material adverse
effect on the Company;  or, that additional  resources needed to address these
issues will not be material.
