                    NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.   Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
     ---------------------------------------------------------

     Description of Business
     -----------------------
     Canterbury Information Technology, Inc. ("the Company") is
engaged in the business of providing information technology services
which includes operating computer software training companies, a
management training company and developing and selling software to
individuals and corporations in the United States.

     Principles of Consolidation
     ---------------------------
     The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and all of its subsidiaries.  All material intercompany
transactions have been eliminated.

     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 amounts reported in the
financial statements and accompanying notes.  The ultimate outcome and
actual results could differ from the estimates and assumptions used.

     Revenue Recognition
     -------------------
     The Company records revenue at the time services are performed or
product is shipped.

     Statement of Cash Flows
     -----------------------
     For purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, cash refers solely
to demand deposits with banks and cash on hand.  In 1997, the Company
changed the presentation of its statement of cash flows from the
direct to the indirect method.  Accordingly, amounts for 1996 were
changed for comparative purposes.

     Depreciation and Amortization
     -----------------------------
     The Company depreciates and amortizes its property and equipment
for financial statement purposes using the straight-line method over
the estimated useful lives of the property and equipment (useful lives
of leases or lives of leasehold improvements and leased property under
capital leases, whichever is shorter).  For income tax purposes, the
Company uses accelerated methods of depreciation.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 (continued)

     Amortization of Intangible Assets
     ---------------------------------
     Goodwill is being amortized over twenty-five years using the
straight-line method.

     Deferred Income Taxes
     ---------------------
     The Company utilizes the liability method to account for income
taxes.  This method gives consideration to the future tax consequences
associated with the differences between financial accounting and tax
bases of assets and liabilities.

     Earnings Per Share
     ------------------
     Effective February 28, 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share", which required the Company
to change the method used to compute earnings per share ("EPS") and to restate
all prior periods presented.  The presentation of primary and fully diluted EPS
has been replaced with basic and diluted EPS, respectively.  Basic earnings
per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding during the period.  The computation of diluted earnings per share
includes the diluted effect of securities that could be exercised or converted
into common stock.  As of February 28, 1998, there were no dilutive securities
outstanding, and as of February 28, 1997, the difference between basic and
diluted outstanding shares was deemed immaterial.

     Recent Accounting Pronouncements 
     --------------------------------
     The Company has adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation."
SFAS 123 provides companies with a choice to follow the provisions of SFAS 123
in determining stock based compensation expense or to continue with the
provisions of the Accounting Principles Board Opinion ("APB") 25, "Accounting
for Stock Issued to Employees" and provide pro-forma disclosures of the effects
on net income and earnings per share.  The Company has elected to continue to
utilize the provisions of APB 25 to account for stock-based compensation.
The effect of applying SFAS 123's fair value method to the Company's
stock-based awards results in net income and earnings per share that are not
materially different from amounts reported.


2.   Discontinued Operation
     ----------------------

     In November, 1997 the Company decided to discontinue its
vocational training segment and closed its last two vocational schools
in New Jersey and Nevada.  The results of operations has been reported
as a discontinued operation and the financial statements for the
quarter ended February 28, 1997 have been restated to reflect such. 
The net assets of discontinued operations are immaterial.

                    NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (continued)

     During 1996 the Company and its primary lender, Chase Manhattan
Bank, instituted litigation, each claiming that the other party
violated the terms of the credit agreement.  As a result, the debt was
declared in default.  In February, 1997, the litigation was settled
and all outstanding borrowings with Chase were restructured and become
due on December 31, 1997.  The Company and Chase agreed that all alleged
defaults under the previous agreements were permanently waived and the Company
would use its best efforts to replace Chase during 1997.  A suitable
replacement was not found during 1997, and the Company and Chase have agreed
to extend their current banking relationship through December 31, 1998
subject to satisfactory documentation of the terms and conditions as agreed.
The Company will continue to use its best efforts to replace Chase prior to
December, 1998.

     The Company agreed to make principal payments against the term
loan throughout 1998.  The payments, which total $700,000, will be
made monthly during the year.  As of March 31, 1998, $100,000 had
already been paid to Chase.  The revolving credit facility remained at
$2,774,600 at December 31,1997, with no additional borrowings or
repayments scheduled during fiscal 1998. 

     Interest rates on all outstanding debt will remain at the same
rate as before the restructuring.  The term loan interest rate is
LIBOR plus 3% or the Bank's prime rate plus 1/2%.  The revolving credit
facility carries an interest rate of LIBOR plus 2 1/2% or the Bank's
prime rate of interest.  The Company has the right to choose which
rate is to be utilized on a periodic basis.  The 30 day LIBOR rate at
February 28, 1998 was 5.625%.  As of February 28, 1998, the Company
was in compliance with or has received a waiver on all of the debt
covenants relating to both the term loan and the revolving credit
facility.

     The long-term debt is secured by substantially all of the assets
of the Company.  The Company is restricted by its primary lender from
paying dividends on its common stock.

     Aggregate maturities on long-term debt for the next five years,
exclusive of obligations under capital leases, are approximately
$4,303,916, $0, $0, $0 and $0 respectively.

     The carrying value of the long-term debt approximates its fair
value.

5.   Capital Leases
     --------------

     Capital lease obligations are certain equipment leases which
expire in October, 2000.  Future payments under capitalized leases,
together with the present value, calculated at the respective leases'
implicit interest rate of approximately 10.5% to 11% at their
inception, as of May 1, 1995 and May 1, 1997 are as follows:

Year ending November 30, 1998            $171,761
Year ending November 30, 1999             187,038
Year ending November 30, 2000              44,753

Total minimum lease payments              403,552
Less amount representing interest         (55,479)
                                        ---------
Present value of long-term obligations 
  under capital leases                   $348,073
                                        =========

6.   Stockholders' Equity
     --------------------

     Faced with the possibility of losing its NASDAQ National Market
listing because of NASDAQ's minimum stock price listing requirements,
the Company's Board of Directors decided to reverse split its
common stock on a one for three basis.  This stock split took place on
April 14, 1998.  As a result of the reverse split, the Company's
issued and outstanding common stock was reduced from 18,199,000 shares
to 6,066,000 shares, and its public float was reduced from
approximately 12,000,000 shares to approximately 4,000,000 shares.  The
balance sheets at November 30, 1997 and February 28, 1998, as well as the
earnings per share calculations have been adjusted to reflect this reverse
split.


Item 2.   Management's Discussion of Financial Condition and Results of
          Operations
          -------------------------------------------------------------

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

     Working capital at February 28, 1998 was $3,173,000.  This was an
increase of $535,000 over November 30, 1997.  Reductions in accounts
payable and accrued expenses were the primary reason for the
improvement.  The Company and its primary lender, Chase Manhattan
Bank, agreed to extend their banking relationship until December 31, 1998.
The Company has agreed to make scheduled term debt payments totaling $700,000
in fiscal 1998.  As of March 31, 1998, $100,000 has been paid to Chase per the
agreement.  The Company and Chase have agreed that all defaults under the
previous lending agreements were permanently waived and the Company would use
its best efforts to replace Chase during 1998.

                                  (continued)

     Cash flow from continuing operations for the three months ended
February 28, 1998 was ($198,000), a decrease of $220,000 from the
previous year.  Management anticipated this temporary cash shortfall
and believes based on the projected results of operations, that cash
flow from continuing operations will turn positive in the second
fiscal quarter of 1998 and remain positive for the balance of the
year.

Results of Operations
- ---------------------

     Revenues
     --------
     Revenues for the three months ended February 28, 1998 decreased
by $39,000 (1%) over the comparable three-month period in fiscal 1997.

     Costs and Expenses
     ------------------
     Costs and expenses for the three months ended February 28, 1998
decreased by $186,000 (13%) due primarily to a reduction in labor and
facilities costs.

     Selling expenses for the quarter ended February 28, 1998
increased by $97,000 (23%) over the same quarter in fiscal 1997.  The
increase is attributable to the increased sales staff at
CALC/Canterbury.  This increase in personnel was planned for in late
1997.  The increased staff should begin to fully contribute to increased
sales beginning in the second quarter of fiscal 1998.

     General and administrative costs increased by $107,000 (13%) over
the previous year.  The cost of programming for a new operational
accounting system at CALC/Canterbury is the major reason for this
increase.  The new system will allow for both Year 2000 compliance and
increased reporting and processing capabilities.

                         PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
                        -----------------------------

Item 1     Legal Proceedings
