             Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
                                 June 30, 1999

NOTE 1. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements
        are unaudited, but, in the opinion of management, include all
        adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary for
        a fair presentation of financial position and results of operations.
        Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full
        year. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in
        conjunction with Management's Discussion and Analysis and
        Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in the
        InterSystems, Inc. 1998 Form 10-KSB.


NOTE 2. Inventories consisted of the following at June 30, 1999 (in
        thousands):

        Raw materials and component parts          1,502
        Finished goods                             1,430

NOTE 3. The basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing
        the net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares
        outstanding.

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

        The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted
        earnings (loss) per share (in thousands, except per share amounts):

NOTE 4. In April, 1998, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
        issued Statement of Position 98-5 ("SOP 98-5"), "Reporting on the
        Costs of Start-up Activities."  The statement is effective for fiscal
        Years beginning after December 15, 1998.  The statement requires costs
        of start-up activities and organizational costs to be expensed as
        incurred and to write off any previously deferred expenses.  The
        Company adopted SOP 98-5 for calendar year 1999, and accordingly,
        $133,000 of start-up and organizational costs at Chemtrusion has been
        expensed, as a cumulative effect of change in accounting principle, in
        the first quarter of 1999.

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

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

In June 1999, InterSystems, Inc. entered into a letter of intent with Enduro
Holdings, Inc., a privately held holding company based in Houston, for the sale
of the business of InterSystems' Nebraska subsidiary.  The Company expects the
purchase price, including the assumption of liabilities, to exceed $10 million,
subject to final review and adjustments.  Upon completion of the transaction,
the stated net worth of InterSystems, Inc. is expected to more than double.

The sale, which is expected to close by the end of September, is subject to
completion of a due diligence examination, and negotiation and execution of a
definitive purchase agreement.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three and Six Month Periods Ended June 30, 1999 and 1998

The Company's revenues for the 1999 second quarter decreased by $1,000,000 (10%)
as compared to the second quarter 1998.  In making the year to year comparison,
it is important to note that during the first and second quarters 1998,
InterSystems Nebraska recorded a $4,446,000 export order to Romania (the
"Romanian Order").  Accordingly, without including the Romanian Order in the
1998 figures, the Company's revenues for the 1999 second quarter were $1,545,000
higher than the 1998 second quarter.  Similarly, Nebraska's total revenues for
the 1999 second quarter were approximately $1,770,000 lower than 1998 second
quarter.  Without including the Romanian Order in the 1998 figures, Nebraska's
revenues for the 1999 quarter were approximately $774,000 higher as compared to
the prior year quarter.

Chemtrusion's revenues for the 1999 second quarter increased by approximately
$772,000 as compared to the same period 1998. This increase is attributable to
increased toll processing volumes at both the Texas and Indiana facilities.

The Company's revenues for the first six months of 1999 decreased by $2,863,000
(15.9%) as compared to the second quarter 1998.  However, without including the
Romanian Order in the 1998 figures, the Company's revenues for the 1999 six
month period increased by $1,583,000, while Nebraska's revenues increased by
$84,000.

Chemtrusion's revenues for the first six months of 1999 increased by $1,500,000
as compared to the second quarter 1998.  The increase is attributable to
increased processing volumes at both the Texas and Indiana facilities.

Gross margins were 30.4% in the second quarter 1999, and 31.2% for the six month
period 1999, as compared to 26.3% in the second quarter 1998 and 27.7% for the
six month period 1998. InterSystems Nebraska's gross margin increased
significantly to 28.6% in the second quarter 1999 versus 22.3% in the second
quarter 1998, with gross margins increasing from 29.2% for the six month 1999
period as compared with 23.4% in the 1998 six month period. Nebraska's 1999
increase is due to the fact that outside contractors were used in completing the
Romanian Order in 1998, resulting in lower margins, as well as increased
efficiency achieved through streamlining operations over the past 12 months.

Chemtrusion's gross margin decreased to 32% in the second quarter 1999 as
compared to 34.6% in the second quarter 1998, and decreased to 32.4% in the 1999
six month period from 35.8% for the 1998 six month period.  The decrease is
primarily attributable to increased fixed costs at Chemtrusion Texas to
facilitate future growth, coupled with a cutback in commitments of two major
customers. Indiana's gross margin remained unchanged at 36%.

Interest expense increased $106,000 in the second quarter 1999 as compared to
the second quarter 1998 and $176,000 for the six month period 1999 versus 1998.
The increase was primarily attributable to the Indiana facility and is due to
financing charges associated with new compounding lines installed in late 1998
and early 1999 as well as recent equipment modifications in Texas.  Interest
expense at the Indiana facility is billed to Mytex and is included in sales for
the facility.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company purchased fixed assets during the first six months 1999 in the
amount of $4,089,000.  A majority of the fixed asset purchases were for new
compounding lines installed at the Mytex facility, with the balance used to fund
improvements to a compounding line at Chemtrusion, Texas ($410,000).


                                 Page 13 of 17
<PAGE>

Net borrowings provided by financing activities amounted to $145,000.  The
proceeds were used to finance working capital needs. The proceeds from long-term
debt obligations of $4,816,000 were utilized primarily to finance the new
compounding lines at the Mytex facility, along with improvements made to a
compounding line at Chemtrusion Texas.  Repayment of long-term debt was
$740,000.

Cash increased $127,000 for the period ending June 30, 1999.

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.

Parent Company

In January 1999, the parent company arranged for short-term working capital
financing.  The Company executed a note in the amount of $200,000 with a private
lender.  The note bears interest at the rate of 15% per annum, with monthly
interest payments of $2,500.  The note is due January 19, 2000.

InterSystems Nebraska

InterSystems Nebraska has a revolving credit agreement with a bank.  The
financing agreement provides for borrowings of up to $3,000,000 based upon
eligible collateral and is due on demand.  At June 30, 1999, borrowings of
$2,030,000 were outstanding under this agreement and bear interest at the bank's
base rate plus .50% (8.25% at June 30, 1999).  At June 30, 1999, $270,000 was
available under this line of credit. The net book value of the collateral
totaled approximately $5,935,000 at June 30, 1999. Under the terms of the
agreement, Nebraska is subject to certain covenant requirements that, among
other things, require maintenance of minimum net worth, working capital, debt to
net worth ratio, and also limits the amount of capital expenditures, payments to
affiliates, indebtedness, dividends and management fees.  InterSystems Nebraska
has pledged its accounts receivable, inventory, equipment and fixtures and
intangibles as collateral for the debt.

Chemtrusion

Chemtrusion is 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% (8.75% at June 30, 1999) and is collateralized by
Chemtrusion's accounts receivable.  As of June 30, 1999, borrowings were
$300,000.

During March 1999, Chemtrusion Texas arranged for a $410,000 capital lease with
a financial institution to provide for capital improvements to one of its
compounding lines.  The financing arrangement requires 47 monthly principal and
interest payments in the amount of $9,975 each, bears interest at the rate of
10.42% per annum, and contains a purchase option of $40,000 at the end of the
lease term.

During the six month period ending June 30, 1999, Chemtrusion completed
installation of new lines at the Mytex facility.  The approximate cost of the
project was $3,822,000.  The finance agreement has not been finalized, but Mytex
will carry the note under terms similar to prior financing agreements at the
Mytex facility.

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, 1999, InterSystems' backlog was $6.3 million.

YEAR 2000

Company's Compliance Program. Computer equipment using microprocessors that use
only two digits to identify a year may be unable to accurately process data
after December 31, 1999. In early 1998, InterSystems, Inc. and its subsidiaries
initiated their Year 2000 compliance project.  The evaluation addressed internal
hardware and software, production machinery, key vendors, customers and other
significant third parties.

Company's State of Readiness.  InterSystems, Inc. and its subsidiaries utilize
recently purchased computer hardware and software which has been deemed Year
2000 compliant.  In the 1997 fourth quarter, our Nebraska subsidiary made a
significant transition to Year 2000 compliant equipment.  Nebraska's System 36
and installed software was discarded and replaced with Pentium processor based
CPU's and Year 2000 compliant manufacturing and accounting software.  Our
Chemtrusion locations already had installed Year 2000 compliant hardware and
software.

Since the Company's two subsidiaries are engaged in manufacturing activities and
place heavy reliance on their production equipment, the Company has undertaken
to determine whether this equipment is Year 2000 compliant. Production equipment
that contains embedded systems may be unable to process date sensitive data.
Key vendors of the Company, therefore, include those from whom the subsidiaries
purchase equipment. Chemtrusion has received vendor assurance that its
production equipment is Year 2000 compliant.  Nebraska has completed its
investigation and testing with respect to its production and office equipment,
and has deemed all to be Year 2000 compliant.  The testing was completed at a
minimal cost to the Company.

The Company is also evaluating the readiness of its third party supply chains
and major customers.  The Company has requested Year 2000 compliance
certification from each of its major vendors, suppliers and customers.

Risks of Non-compliance and Contingency Plans.  The major factors which pose the
greatest Year 2000 risks for the Company if implementation of the Year 2000
compliance program is not successful is the reliance on key third party vendors
and major customers.  If those parties do not achieve compliance, the Company's
operating subsidiaries could experience interruption in production scheduling.
Based on initial information received from our vendors and customers, the
Company does not expect such delays.

The estimated costs of, and timetable for, becoming Year 2000 compliant
constitute "forward looking statements" as defined in the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  Investors are cautioned that such estimates are
based on numerous assumptions by management, including accuracy of
representations made by third parties concerning their compliance with Year 2000
issues, and other factors. The estimated costs of Year 2000 compliance also do
not give effect to any future corporate acquisitions or divestitures made by the
Company or its subsidiaries.

Forward Looking Statements

This quarterly report for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1999 as well
as other public documents of the Company contains forward-looking statements
which involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may
cause the actual results, performance or achievement of the Company to be
materially different from any future results, performance or achievements
expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.  Such statements
include, without limitation, the Company's expectations and estimates as to
future financial performance, cash flows from operations, capital expenditures
and the availability of funds from refinancings of indebtedness.  Readers are
urged to consider statements which use the terms "believes," "intends,"
"expects," "plans," "estimates," "anticipated," or "anticipates" to be uncertain
and forward looking.  In addition to other factors that may be discussed in the
Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including this
report, the following factors, among others, could cause the Company's actual
results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking
statement made by the Company: (i) general economic and business conditions,
acts of God and natural disasters which may effect the demand for the Company's
products and services or the ability of the Company to manufacture and/or
provide such products and services; (ii) the loss, insolvency or failure to pay
its debts by a significant customer or customers; (iii) increased competition;
(iv) changes in customer preferences and the inability of the Company to develop
and introduce new products to accommodate these changes; and (v) the maturing of
debt and the ability of the Company to raise capital to repay or refinance such
debt on favorable terms.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

The Company's financial instruments include time deposits, notes payable, long-
term debt, subordinated debentures and letters of credit.  The carrying value of
these instruments approximate market values because the rates of return and
borrowing rates are similar to other financial instruments with similar
maturities and terms.

Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations
of credit risk, consist primarily of trade accounts receivable.  Concentrations
of credit risk with respect to such receivables are limited due to generally
short payment terms and their dispersion across geographic areas.

Available-for-sale securities are based on quoted market prices.

The Company's interest rates on lines of credit fluctuate based on the financial
institutions prime lending rate.

Part II:

Item 5. Other Information

The Board of Directors of InterSystems, Inc. (the "Company") has resolved to
extend the expiration date of the Company's outstanding publicly held warrants
(AMEX: II.WS) to December 31, 2001, and to lower the purchase price of each
warrant from $3.50 to $2.00 per share, effective August 11, 1999.  All other
terms of the warrants, which were due to expire at the end of 1999, will remain
the same.

New certificates will not be issued in exchange for the outstanding
certificates; rather, each outstanding certificate will represent the right to
purchase one share of common stock of InterSystems, Inc. (AMEX: II) for $2.00
per share instead of $3.50 per share.
