disclosures normally included in annual financial statements

------------------------------------------------------
(continued)
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.
Stock Based Compensation
------------------------
The Company accounts for stock options under Accounting
Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25- Accounting for Stock Issued
to Employees. The Company discloses the pro forma net income and
earnings per share effect as if the Company had used the fair value
method prescribed under SFAS No.123-Accounting for Stock Based
Compensation.
Use of Estimates
----------------
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
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 training and consulting revenue at the
time the class is completed or the consulting services are
performed. Hardware revenue is recorded when the goods are shipped
to the customer. Revenue for software is recognized when the
software is shipped to the customer.
Statement of Cash Flows
-----------------------
For purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, cash refers
solely to demand deposits with banks and cash on hand.
FORM 10-Q
CANTERBURY INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
------------------------------------------------------
(continued)
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.
The following estimated useful lives are used:
Building and improvements 7 years
Equipment 5 years
Furniture and fixture 5 to 7 years
Intangible Assets
-----------------
Goodwill is being amortized over periods ranging from twenty
to twenty-five years using the straight-line method.
The Company periodically evaluates whether the remaining
estimated useful life of intangibles may warrant revision or the
remaining balance of intangibles may require adjustment generally
based upon expectations of nondiscounted cash flows and operating
income.
Inventories
-----------
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market
utilizing a first-in, first-out method of determining cost.
Earnings Per Share
------------------
Basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted
average common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings
per share considers the dilutive effect, if any, of common stock
equivalents (options).
FORM 10-Q
CANTERBURY INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
------------------------------------------------------
(continued)
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
--------------------------------
The Company plans to adopt Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards "(SFAS)" No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities, as amended, effective at the beginning of
fiscal 2001. This statement will require derivative positions to be
recognized in the balance sheet at fair value. The Company believes
that there will be no impact upon adoption on results of operations
or financial position.
Concentration of Risk
---------------------
As previously discussed, the Company is in the business of
providing information technology services. These services are
provided to a large number of customers in various industries in
the United States. The Company's trade accounts receivable are
exposed to credit risk, but the risk is limited due to the
diversity of the customer base and the customers wide geographic
dispersion. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its
customer's financial condition. The Company maintains reserves for
potential bad debt losses and such bad debt losses have been within
the Company's expectations.
The Company maintains cash balances at several large
creditworthy banks located in the United States. Accounts at each
institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation up to $100,000. The Company does not believe that it
has significant credit risk related to its cash balance.

1999, total comprehensive income/(loss) amounted to ($98,000) and

The Company's outstanding amounts owed under the term loan and
credit line with Chase Bank were refinanced in December, 1999.
Under the new agreement, the Company paid off the remaining term
debt of $200,436 and agreed to term out the $2,774,620 credit line.
Monthly payments began in March of 2000, and continue until
December of 2001 when the final balloon payment of $640,000 is due
and payable. At August 31, 2000, the Company was in technical
violation of a debt to equity ratio covenant contained in its bank
agreement by 0.06, due to a change in accounting policies. The
Company is in the process of resolving this issue.
The long term debt is secured by substantially all of the
assets of the Company and requires compliance with covenants which
include: limits on capital expenditures, certain prepayments from
excess cash flow as defined and the maintenance of certain
financial ratios and amounts. The Company is restricted by its
primary lender from paying cash dividends on its common stock.
Aggregate maturities on long-term debt, exclusive of
obligations under capital leases, are approximately $300,000 in
2000, $1,220,000 in 2001, and $639,620 thereafter.
The carrying value of the long-term debt approximates its fair
value.

investment securities in public companies. For one of the public
companies certain officers and directors of the Company have an
ownership interest in the aggregate of approximately 15%.
Management has estimated the fair value of this investment at

respectively, based on discounted market values due to the stock
being thinly traded and volatile. Other equity securities have a
fair value of $81,081 and $202,355 at August 31, 2000 and November
30, 1999, respectively. Management has classified these

other assets in the accompanying balance sheet. The Company did
not sell any available for sale securities during 2000 or 1999.

31, 2000 and November 30, 1999. In March 2000 the Company received
approximately 278,000 shares of restricted common stock in
e*machinery.net, inc., the publicly traded parent company, in
satisfaction of the receivable.
During 2000, the Company also assisted in raising capital for
e*machinery, inc., which is now e*machinery.net, inc., a public
company. For these services, the Company earned 250,000 shares of
restricted common stock. The discounted value of these shares was
$461,250. This amount has been recorded in Other Income on the
income statement during the quarter ended May 31, 2000. In the
third quarter of Fiscal 2000 the Company billed $275,000 for
services and will receive restricted common stock as payment, as a
subsequent event.
9. Stockholders' Equity
--------------------
In June, 2000 the Board of Directors voted to allow officers,
directors, certain advisors and individuals valuable to Canterbury
the opportunity to increase their equity positions in the Company,
as an incentive to continue and increase their efforts on behalf
of the Company. A total of 800,000 shares of restricted common
stock were purchased at market with interest bearing, non-recourse
notes to the Company. The notes carry an interest rate of 6.5%
and are due and payable on or before June, 2004. The notes and
accrued interest are collateralized by the shares being issued.
Each recipient also has granted the Company or its designees a 15-
day right of first refusal, in any sale of these shares.

Item 2. Management's Discussion of Financial Condition and Results
----------------------------------------------------------
of Operations
-------------
Liquidity and Capital Resources
-------------------------------
Working capital at August 31, 2000 was $1,853,000. This was
an increase of $592,000 over November 30, 1999. The increase was
caused by an increase in receivables and inventory, offset by an
increase in accounts payable of USC/Canterbury.
The Company's outstanding amounts owed under the term loan and
credit line with Chase Bank were refinanced in December, 1999.
Under the new agreement, the Company paid off the remaining term
debt of $200,436 and agreed to term out the $2,774,620 credit line.
Monthly payments began in March of 2000, and continue until
December of 2001 when the final balloon payment of $640,000 is due
and payable. As of September 1, 2000 the Company has made $715,000
in principal payments to Chase Bank. At August 31, 2000, the
Company was in technical violation of a debt to equity ratio
covenant contained in its bank agreement by 0.06, due to a change
in accounting policies. The Company is in the process of resolving
this issue.
The long term debt is secured by substantially all of the
assets of the Company and requires compliance with covenants which
include: limits on capital expenditures, certain prepayments from
excess cash flow as defined and the maintenance of certain
financial ratios and amounts. The Company is restricted by its
primary lender from paying cash dividends on its common stock.
Management believes that positive cash flow contributions from
the Company's operating subsidiaries will be sufficient to cover
cash flow requirements for fiscal 2000. There was no material
commitment for capital expenditures as of August 31, 2000.
Inflation was not a significant factor in the Company's financial
statements.
Cash flow from continuing operations for the nine months ended
August 31, 2000 was $487,000. This represents an increase of
$273,000 over the prior year. The increase is mainly attributable
to the additional cash flow provided by the USC/Canterbury
acquisition, as well as an overall improvement from existing
subsidiaries.

Results of Operations
---------------------
Revenues
--------
Revenues for the three months ended August 31, 2000 increased
by $6,285,000 (195%) over the comparable three-month period in
fiscal 1999, due primarily to the revenue contribution of USC/
Canterbury in fiscal 2000. For the nine months ended August 31,
2000, revenues increased by $11,927,000 (125%) due again to the
USC/Canterbury acquisition.
Costs and Expenses
------------------
Costs and expenses for the three months ended August 31, 2000
increased by $5,344,000 in conjunction with the $6,285,000 revenue
increase due again to the costs associated with the USC/Canterbury
operations. The $10,596,000 increase for the nine months ended
August 31, 2000 was also due to the USC/Canterbury operations.
Gross margins percentages for both the quarter and nine months
ended August 31, 2000 decreased from 45% to 26% due to the increase
in sales contribution from USC/Canterbury. As a VAR, USC's margins
are typically lower than in the pre-existing services businesses
within Canterbury. However, it is management's belief that the
additional dollar contribution to gross and pretax profit, as well as
the additional goods and services made available to the client base
will enhance the overall revenue contribution from all subsidiaries.
Selling expenses for the quarter and nine months ended August
31, 2000 increased by $212,000 (49%) and $366,000 (28%) respectively,
over the same period in fiscal 1999. The increase was due primarily
to the selling costs associated with USC/Canterbury for the three
months ended August 31, 2000.
Other Income
------------
Other income for the nine months ended August 31, 2000 increased
by $463,000 due to the receipt of stock for assisting in raising
capital for a related party during the second quarter.
