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 and China. 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 information network for domestic airlines. Phoenix
provides state-of-the-art, travel-related information services to China through
its 70% owned joint venture with China Southern Airlines Company, Ltd.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

                  During the six months ended September 30, 1997, and the
fiscal years ended March 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, the Company sustained net
losses of $5,980,642, $12,393,872, $9,704,318, and $4,841,824, respectively.
Losses are anticipated to continue until the data network in China is fully
implemented and utilized by China Southern for its reservation and data
processing services.

                  While Phoenix has concentrated its sales efforts in China,
the Company has also focused on small to medium 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 processed
all Eastwind reservations as of the second quarter of fiscal 1996. Furthermore,
in May 1996, the Company commenced commercial operations with Laker Airlines.
Eastwind terminated its relationship with the Company on May 17, 1997. The
Company is actively pursuing other small to medium carriers to expand the
customer base for its reservation center.

                  For the quarter ended September 30, 1997, the Company had
revenues of $305,777 versus $256,078 for the quarter ended September 30, 1996,
an increase of 19% as the revenue from Laker Airlines more than offset the
prior-year revenue associated with AIT. For the quarter ended September 30,
1997, the Company had start-up and organizational expenses of $3,501,627
compared to $2,993,551 for the quarter ended September 30, 1996, an increase of
$508,076 or 17%. The growth in expenses was concentrated in stock option
compensation (+$81,000), increased business travel to China (+$149,261),
communications expenses (+$117,557), and consulting expenses primarily in
support of the Joint Venture (+$169,042).

comparable prior year period, an increase of $811,515 or 15%. The growth in
spending for the fiscal year-to-date period was concentrated in the same
categories: stock option compensation (+$222,000), communications expense
(+$244,008), consulting fees (+$161,238) and travel, primarily to China
(+$245,398).

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Working Capital; Financial Instability

                  As of September 30, 1997, Phoenix had stockholders' equity of
$9,791,892 and working capital of $1,639,865. Phoenix has not generated
significant revenues, earnings or history of operations from inception through
September 30, 1997.

                  Phoenix continues its efforts to raise funds in order to
assure that the Company will have sufficient capital to meet its obligations
and to implement its proposed operations and plans through late 1998, at which
time operating cash flow is projected to turn positive. However, no assurances
can be given that such efforts will be successful.

                  For the six months ended September 30, 1997 net cash used in
operations declined by $1,643,379 or 32% from the six months ended September
30, 1996, principally due to lower losses, a significant paydown of accounts
payable during the six months ended September 30, 1996, and the recording in
the period ending September 30, 1997 of the minority interest in the net loss
of Hainan Phoenix Information Systems, Ltd. Net cash provided by financing
activities declined by $7,916,863 during the six months ended September 30,
1997 from the comparable prior year period. A net outflow of $448,766 occurred
during the six months ended September 30, 1997, primarily associated with the
payment of preferred stock dividends. The six months ended September 30, 1996
had a net inflow from financing activities of $7,468,097 that resulted from the
issuance of the Series A and B 6% convertible preferred stock, offset partly by
payments to related parties.

                  In April 1996, Phoenix issued $5,000,000 of Series A 6%
convertible preferred stock. The preferred stock was convertible into common
stock at a 15% discount to market, originally subject to a maximum conversion
price of $4.00 per share and a minimum of $2.00 per share. The market value of
the Company's common stock at the date of issuance of the Series A 6%
convertible preferred stock was below the $2.00 per share minimum conversion
price. 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. During the six months ended September 30, 1997, 7,930 shares of Series A
convertible preferred stock were converted into 25,000 shares of the Company's
common stock.

                  In September 1996, Phoenix issued $4,000,000 of Series B 6%
convertible preferred stock. The preferred stock is convertible into common
stock at the market value of the Company's common stock at the date of
conversion. 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. In conjunction with the issuance of the Series B shares, the
discount on the Series A convertible preferred stock was amended from 15% to
20% and the maximum conversion price of $4.00 per share and minimum of $2.00
per share were removed. The Company recorded a Series A 6% convertible

                                       8
<PAGE>   9


preferred stock dividend of $658,015 for the difference between the conversion
prices of the Series A 6% convertible preferred stock and the fair market value
of the Company's common stock at the date of the amendment. During the six
months ended September 30, 1997, 136,175 shares of Series B convertible
preferred stock were converted into 663,038 shares of the Company's common
stock.

                  On December 23, 1996, Phoenix acquired for $7,500,000 a 25%
interest in American Aviation Limited, through the exercise of an option. The
acquisition was financed by the issuance of 833,333 shares of Series C
Convertible Preferred Stock for $15,000,000 to S-C Phoenix Partners. American
Aviation is a company owned by affiliates of Quantum Industrial Holdings Ltd.,
George Soros and Purnendu Chatterjee. American Aviation's sole asset is a 21%
interest in Hainan Airlines, which it purchased for $25,000,000 in December
1995. Phoenix accounted for the investment by the cost method, because it has
no influence on the operations of American Aviation Ltd. despite holding a 25%
interest. Phoenix can neither sell or collateralize the investment without the
unanimous consent of the owners, who have stated that material financial
concessions would be required of Phoenix for such consent.

                  S-C Phoenix Partners ("SC"), an investment partnership also
comprised of affiliates of Quantum Industrial Holdings Ltd., George Soros, and
Purnendu Chatterjee, is a major shareholder of Phoenix, holding both common
stock and Series C convertible preferred stock.

                  Reference is made to the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal
year ended March 31, 1997, for a complete description of certain financing
transactions entered into by the Company to meet its operating and investment
objectives.

                          PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.       Legal Proceedings:

Ungerleider v. Robert P. Gordon, Phoenix Information Systems Corp., 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. On January 16, 1997, new counsel entered an appearance
on behalf of Plaintiff.

                  Reference is made to Item 3 of the Company's Form 10-K, for
the fiscal year ended March 31, 1997, 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, 1997, for additional information regarding this
proceeding.

ITEM 2.       Changes in Securities:   None

ITEM 3.       Defaults Upon Senior Securities:   None

ITEM 4.       Submissions of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders:   None

ITEM 5.       Other Information:

                  Phoenix Transaction Services, Inc. ("PTS"), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company, was established on June 3, 1997. PTS now manages the
existing U.S. reservations and call center operation, which was previously
controlled by PSL. The goal of PTS is to establish ventures in volume-

                                      10
<PAGE>   11

intensive transaction environments such as passenger reservation services,
airline cargo services, and hotel reservation services. These ventures will be
created through alliances, partnerships, and acquisitions. PTS would bring
industry knowledge and proprietary solutions, built or acquired, to the
ventures, while the partners would have the facility, manpower, and management
responsibilities. PTS is responsible for securing strategic partners and
achieving revenue growth.

                  On June 23, 1997, the Company and China Southern Airlines,
China's largest airline, with a 21 percent domestic market share, executed the
PHOENIX-AIR Management System (PAMS) Service Contract with Hainan Phoenix
Information Systems Ltd., Phoenix's 70 percent-owned joint venture company in
China. Under the terms of this 46 year agreement, China Southern will book all
of its airline reservations and procure data processing and other services from
the Joint Venture. The Joint Venture has already installed a Stratus fault
tolerant server as a test system in Guangzhou and is proceeding with
installation of the data network across China.

                  On June 26, 1997, Hainan Airlines Co., Ltd. completed a
Public Offering ("Offering") and was listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange. The
Offering was for 71 million Chinese B-shares at $0.47 per share, representing
15 percent of Hainan's outstanding shares. The B-shares are a class of Chinese
stock that can be purchased by foreigners. Affiliates of Quantum Industrial
Holdings Ltd., George Soros, and Purnendu Chatterjee established American
Aviation in December 1995, and Phoenix arranged for American Aviation to
purchase a 25 percent interest in Hainan Airlines. For arranging this purchase,
Phoenix obtained an option to purchase a portion of American Aviation. In
December 1996, Phoenix paid $0.30 per Hainan share to exercise its option to
purchase a 25 percent interest in American Aviation Limited, which owns 100.04
million shares of Hainan Airlines. The American Aviation investment in Hainan
Airlines represented the first equity investment in a Chinese airline by a
foreign investor. Hainan Airlines is one of China's fastest growing regional
carriers and a customer of the Joint Venture with China Southern on a limited
basis. As a result of the Offering, American Aviation Limited now holds a 21%
interest in Hainan Airlines.

                  On July 30, 1997 China Southern, the Company's Joint Venture
partner, completed its public offering in the United States of 20.6 million
American Depository Shares (ADS). The shares are trading on the New York Stock
Exchange under the ZNH symbol. The offering, managed by Goldman Sachs (Asia)
L.L.C. as the global coordinator, was priced at $30.66 per ADS share.
