Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

On December 1, 1999, InterSystems, Inc. (the "Company") (AMEX: II and
II.WS) reported that its Nebraska subsidiary, also known as
InterSystems, Inc. (hereinafter "InterSystems Nebraska"), completed the
previously announced sale of substantially all of its assets to, and
the assumption of certain liabilities by, Enduro Systems, Inc.
("Enduro"), a privately held manufacturing company based in Houston,
Texas.  The purchase price, $11,010,948, was based upon a multiple of
earnings. The purchase price was subject to adjustment for the decrease
in working capital (as defined) from June 1, 1999 through October 3,
1999 and other miscellaneous adjustments. After repayment by
InterSystems Nebraska of long term debt, capital leases and related
expenses, the transaction yielded approximately $5,600,000 in cash to
the subsidiary, plus a $500,000 subordinated promissory note due in 42
months.

In connection with this sale, Mr. Fred S. Zeidman, President of the
Company and a Director, resigned his position as President and joined
Enduro.  Mr. Zeidman retained his position as a Director of the
Company.  In the interim, Mr. Herbert M. Pearlman, Chairman of the
Company, assumed the title of Acting President of the Company.

InterSystems Nebraska, which is based in Omaha, designs, manufactures
and markets specialized equipment used in handling, weighing and
sampling of granular materials, including agricultural products,
chemicals, cement, minerals and plastic pellets.

The Company's remaining operations consist of Chemtrusion, Inc., based
in Houston and Jeffersonville, Indiana.   Chemtrusion provides various
out-sourcing services to the petro-chemical industry including
research, manufacturing and facilities operations for major multi-
national companies.  Chemtrusion is a leader in specialty plastics
compound processing that combines thermoplastic resins with various
additives to enhance and customize plastic materials for specific end
uses.  Chemtrusion's Indiana Division is a dedicated facility providing
design, construction and operating services for Mytex Polymers, a joint
venture of Exxon Chemical and Mitsubishi Chemicals America.

Enduro, based in Houston, Texas, through its divisions, manufactures
engineered or technically oriented products.  Its Material Handling
Division, with plants in Freeport, Texas and Santa Rosa, California,
markets its products under the Velcon and FlexWeigh names.  This
division designs and manufactures automatic and semi-automatic drum
filling and conveying systems as well as high precision weight
indicators and motion weighing systems.  Enduro's Composite Products
Division, with plants in Houston, Fort Worth and Freeport, manufactures
a broad range of products designed for use in highly corrosive,
structurally demanding applications in industries such as chemical,
pulp and paper, water and waste water treatment and off-shore oil and
gas.
