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

INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT

        Phoenix Information Systems Corp. ("Phoenix" or the "Company") is a
development-stage information systems and services company that has developed
airline and hotel travel reservation systems.

        In fiscal 1996, Phoenix commenced operations in the United States, China
and Russia.  Efforts are under way to enlist additional airlines, hotels and
other travel service providers.  While Phoenix has now commenced operations, the
Company has only a brief operating history and has yet to generate significant
revenues or earnings.  Consequently, Phoenix's continued existence has depended,
primarily, upon its ability to raise capital.

        In China, Phoenix has installed and begun to operate its advanced
computerized travel reservation system for domestic airlines.  Phoenix provides
state-of-the-art, travel-related information services to China through its 70%
owned joint venture with China Hainan Airlines.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

        During the six months ended September 30, 1996, and the fiscal years
ended March 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, the Company sustained net losses of
$5,032,485, $9,704,318, $4,841,824 and $2,567,932, respectively.  These losses
may continue for a presently undetermined time.

        Reservation revenues reflect a full quarters results for the quarter
ended September 30, 1996  while reservation revenues started in the quarter
ended September 30, 1995.

        While Phoenix has concentrated its sales efforts in China, Russia and
other countries, the Company has also focused on small domestic carriers that
could utilize the Company's reservation system.  In fiscal 1995, Phoenix entered
into an Agreement with Eastwind Airlines, Inc. ("Eastwind") to provide Eastwind
with a complete reservation system to manage all sales, airport and operations
functions.  In addition, Phoenix implemented a reservation center that processes
all Eastwind reservations as of the second quarter of fiscal 1996.  Furthermore,
in May 1996, the Company commenced commercial operations with Laker Airlines.

        For the quarter ended September 30, 1996, the Company had start-up and
organizational expenses of $2,993,551 compared to $2,037,959 for the quarter
ended September 30, 1995.  The expanding start-up and organizational expenses in
the quarter ended September 30, 1996 as compared to the quarter ended September
30, 1995, reflects principally the addition of marketing and administrative
employees as the Company's focus shifts from product development to generation
of customers and sales.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Working Capital; Financial Instability

        As of September 30, 1996, Phoenix had stockholders' equity of $4,358,119
and working capital of $2,344,496.  Phoenix has not generated any significant
revenues, earnings or history of operations from inception through September
30, 1996.  In September 1996, Phoenix issued 1,250,000 shares of 6% Series B
Convertible Preferred Stock for a purchase price of $3.20 per share with a
liquidation preference of $4.00 per share.  The Company also issued a warrant
to purchase 150,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $3.00 per
share.  The preferred stock is convertible into common stock at the lesser of
$3.00 or the market price per share (conversion is based on the liquidation
preference price per share).  If not converted by the purchaser prior to the
second anniversary of the issuance date, the preferred stock will automatically
be converted into common stock.  Furthermore, the Company granted the right of
first refusal with respect to certain additional issuances.

        According to the terms of the amended Series A preferred stock offering,
the maximum and minimum conversion prices per share on the Series A preferred
stock of $4.00 and $2.00, respectively were deleted.  During the six months
ended September 30, 1996, 268,750 shares of the Company's Series A preferred
stock were converted into 527,528 shares of common stock.

        Reference is made to the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
March 31, 1996, for a complete description of certain financing transactions
entered into by the Company to meet its operating and investing activities.

                         PART  II - OTHER  INFORMATION

ITEM 1.      Legal Proceedings:

Ungerleider v. Robert P. Gordon, Phoenix Information Systems Inc., et al.

   On August 7, 1996, the District Court granted Phoenix's motion to dismiss
substantial portions of Plaintiff's claims.  The court rejected Plaintiff's
claims of fraudulent inducement to enter into the Settlement Agreement, which
effectively precludes Plaintiff from trying to enforce a finders fee agreement
or any of the options, payments, or other rights which he released as part of
the Settlement Agreement.  Plaintiff was given leave to amend his Complaint,
but the court's order required him to do so in a manner consistent with the
court's order, which precludes Plaintiff's claims related to alleged oral
promises made prior to the signing of the Settlement Agreement.  On August 22,
1996, Plaintiff filed a Second Amended Complaint, which in its first eight
counts essentially reiterated the claims which the District Court dismissed on
August 7, 1996.  Plaintiff also has sued Phoenix for allegedly participating in
repossessing 1.2 million shares of Phoenix stock from Plaintiff and failing to
perform oral promises which Plaintiff contends were part of the Settlement
Agreement.  The Defendants have moved to dismiss or strike the Second Amended
Complaint, in part because the allegations contradict the rulings contained in
the District Court's August 7, 1996 order.  The case was referred to mediation
for settlement discussions.  However, mediation has been postponed because
Plaintiff's counsel moved for and was granted leave to withdraw from the case
as reflected by the court's September 2, 1996 order.  Plaintiff has not yet had
new counsel enter an appearance on his behalf.

   Reference is made to Item 3 of the Company's Form 10-K, for the fiscal year
ended March 31, 1996, for additional information regarding this proceeding.

Charles Chang and Juliette Chang v. Robert P. Gordon and Phoenix Information
Systems Corp.

   The motion of defendants Robert P. Gordon and Phoenix to dismiss the Amended
Complaint in this action has been fully submitted and is awaiting decision. The
Court has stayed discovery in the action pending a decision on the motion to 
dismiss.

   Reference is made to Item 3 of the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year
ended March 31, 1996, for additional information regarding this proceeding.
