NOTE 3.   Effective for the year ended December 31, 1997, the Company was
          required to adopt Statement of Financial Standards No. 128, "Earnings
          Per Share" ("SFAS 128"). In accordance with SFAS 128, the Company is
          required to provide basic and dilutive earnings per common share
          information.

          The basic net income per common share is computed by dividing the net
          income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number
          of common shares outstanding.

          Diluted net income per common share is computed by dividing the net
          income available to common shareholders, adjusted on an as if
          converted basis, by the weighted average number of common shares
          outstanding plus potential dilutive securities.

          The following is the effect of potential dilutive securities on
          weighted average number of shares outstanding used in computing
          earnings per share assuming dilution for the three month period ended
          June 30, (in thousands):

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


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three Months Ended June 30, 1998 and 1997

Intersystems sales for the quarter climbed 31% to a record $9,803,000 from
$7,481,000 a year earlier. The increase was a result of higher sales volumes at
the InterSystems Nebraska subsidiary. InterSystems Nebraska's sales increased
approximately $2,376,000 in the 2nd qtr `98 as compared to the 2nd qtr '97
primarily due to the shipment of a large overseas order to Romania and the
continuing strong capital improvement purchases by the grain industry.
Chemtrusion's Indiana division continued to operate at record levels with a
major plant expansion having been successfully implemented in June 1998. A new
testing facility, located in the Chemtrusion, Texas plant, is in place and
operating as of the beginning of July.

Gross margins were 26.3% in the 2nd qtr `98 as compared to 33.8% in the 2nd qtr
`97. Margins at both subsidiaries slipped in the 2nd qtr '98. Chemtrusion's
gross margin decreased to 34.5% in the 2nd qtr `98 from 41% in the 2nd qtr `97.
This decrease was a result of lower toll processing volumes at Chemtrusion
Texas. The quarterly results were negatively impacted by the Company `s
commitment to two (2) major customers in the Chemtrusion, Texas plant. The
Company expects to diversify its customer base over the remainder of the year,
thus lessening its dependence on these customers.

Gross margin at Nebraska was 22% in the 2nd qtr `98 as compared to 28.3% in the
2nd qtr `97. The decrease is primarily attributable to the large overseas order.
A portion of this job is manufactured by outside contractors whereby
InterSystems Nebraska did not realize normal manufacturing profit.

The Company's selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $229,000
(13.45%) in the 2nd qtr `98 as compared to the 2nd qtr `97. Chemtrusion's
expenses increased approximately $40,000 primarily due to the addition of
additional warehouse space to accommodate expansion and associated fixed costs
at Chemtrusion, Texas. InterSystems Nebraska's selling, general and
administrative expenses increased by approximately $75,000 primarily due to the
addition of its new Chief Operating Officer and compensation based on profit.
Parent Company expenses increased approximately $ 120,000 for various expenses
of business operations including compensation based on profit.

Interest expense decreased $91,000 in the 2nd qtr `98 as compared to the 2nd qtr
`97. The decrease was primarily a result of bond conversions at the Parent
Company in late 1997 and more favorable interest rates through refinancing of
debt at Chemtrusion, Texas and InterSystems Nebraska.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Six Months Ended June 30, 1998 and 1997

For the six months ended June 30, 1998, sales reached a record $17,990,000; up
38.7% from the $12,965,000 reported for the first half of 1997. InterSystems
Nebraska's sales increased approximately $4,812,000 as a result of the large
overseas order as well as the continued demand for bulk systems in the grain
industry as a whole.

Gross margins were 27.6% for the first six months of 1998 as compared to 34.4%
for the same period ending 1997. Chemtrusion's gross margin decreased to 35.8%
for the six months 1998 as compared to 40.6% for the first six months of 1997.
The decrease was a result of lower toll processing volumes at Chemtrusion,
Texas. InterSystems Nebraska's gross margin decreased from 29% during the first
six months of 1997 to 23.4% for the same period ending 1998. The decrease is
primarily attributable to the large overseas order.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $420,000 (12.8%) for the
first six months of 1998 as compared to the same period for 1997. Chemtrusion's
expenses increased $98,000 primarily due to the addition of additional warehouse
space and associated fixed costs at Chemtrusion, Texas. InterSystems Nebraska's
selling, general and administrative expenses increased approximately $100,000
primarily due to the addition of its new Chief Operating Officer and
compensation based on profit. Parent Company expenses increased approximately $
222,000 for various expenses of business operations including compensation based
on profit.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 1998

The Company purchased fixed assets year-to-date in the amount of $2,886,000.
These purchases were primarily for a new extrusion line and rail spur acquired
for the Mytex facility ($2,334,000) and the new testing facility and additional
warehouse and office space at Chemtrusion, Texas ($480,000).

Net borrowing provided by financing activities amounted to $2,261,000. The
proceeds were used primarily to finance the new fixed assets at the Mytex
facility and Chemtrusion, Texas as well as the increase in accounts receivables
at InterSystems Nebraska . The Company realized $92,000 from the issuance of
common stock. Repayments of long-term debt amounted to $198,000. Purchase of
treasury stock amounted to $22,000.

Cash decreased $265,000 for the period ending June 30, 1998.

The Company anticipates that its future operating needs will be satisfied from
the operations of its subsidiaries which, on a combined basis, are expected to
generate positive cash flow. The Company from time to time may seek to borrow
funds for actual or anticipated capital needs. There can be no assurances that
management will be able to obtain such financing on favorable terms.

InterSystems Nebraska

At June 30, 1998, InterSystems Nebraska had a revolving credit agreement with a
bank. The financing agreement provides for borrowings of up to $3,000,000 based
upon a borrowing base and is due on demand. At June 30, 1998, borrowings of
$1,795,000 were outstanding under this agreement and bear interest at the bank's
base rate plus .50% (9.00% at June 30, 1998). At June 30, 1998, $1,205,000 was
available under this line of credit. InterSystems Nebraska has pledged its
accounts receivable, inventory, equipment, fixtures and intangibles as
collateral for the debt. The net book value of the collateral totaled
approximately $5,558,000 at June 30, 1998. Under the terms of the agreement,
InterSystems Nebraska is subject to certain covenant requirements that, among
other things, require maintenance of minimum net worth, working capital, debt to
worth ratio, and also limits the amount of capital expenditures, payments to
affiliates, indebtedness, dividends and management fees.

Chemtrusion

Chemtrusion is a party to a credit agreement that provides for advances of up to
$300,000 and expires April 21, 2002. The agreement bears interest at the bank's
prime rate plus 1% (currently 9.5%) and is collateralized by Chemtrusion's
accounts receivable. As of June 30, 1998, the line of credit balance was
$225,000 with an available balance of $74,104.

Chemtrusion is in the process of expanding its technological capabilities by
pursuing an additional line of business. In order to achieve this expansion, new
equipment has been delivered and has been placed in service subsequent to June
30, 1998. The cost of the equipment is approximately $325,000. Financing for the
new equipment has been secured through a financial institution under a 9.68%,
fifty-five month lease with a 10% buyout at the end of the term.

Seasonality

A substantial portion of InterSystems Nebraska's revenues are derived from the
agricultural sector of the economy and, accordingly, are subject to seasonal
fluctuations. InterSystems Nebraska's success is, to some extent, dependent upon
weather conditions affecting domestic grain production, conditions in the grain
industry generally and the value of the United States dollar against foreign
currency. As of June 30, 1998, InterSystems' backlog was $5,730,000 compared to
$5,765,000 as of June 30, 1997. Subsequent to June 30, 1998, the backlog at
Nebraska has increased to $6,004,000.
