        unaudited, but, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments
        (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a 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. 1999

NOTE 3. The basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss
        available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of
        common shares outstanding.

        Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss
        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 table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted 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, $134,000 of start-up
        and organizational costs at Chemtrusion have been expensed, as a
        cumulative effect of change in accounting principle, for the period
        ending March 31, 1999.

NOTE 5. On December 1, 1999, the Company's Nebraska subsidiary, also known as
        InterSystems, Inc. (hereinafter "InterSystems Nebraska"), completed the
        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. As a result of this
        sale, the operations of InterSystems Nebraska have been restated as
        discontinued operations in the Company's consolidated results
        operations.

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


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three Month Periods Ended March 31, 2000 and 1999

Revenue for the first quarter 2000 increased by $539,000 (15.9%) compared to the
first quarter 1999. In 1999, Chemtrusion Texas began a vigorous campaign to
increase its customer base.  As reported in the first quarter 1999 10-Q filing,
Chemtrusion Texas' revenues were negatively impacted by the Company's commitment
to two major customers.  Chemtrusion Texas is beginning to realize the efforts
of its marketing campaign.  Revenue for the first quarter 2000 increased by
$125,000 as a result.  Revenue at Chemtrusion's Mytex facility in Indiana (the
"Mytex facility") increased $414,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 as
compared to the same quarter ending March 31, 1999. The Mytex facility added one
new compounding line in mid 1998 and an additional compounding line in the first
quarter 1999.  After installation of these two new lines, the effective capacity
of the Mytex facility has more than doubled.

Chemtrusion's gross margin decreased slightly from 32.8% in the first quarter
1999 as compared to 31% in the first quarter 2000.  The decrease is primarily
attributable to increased fixed costs at Chemtrusion to accommodate volume
increases experienced during the balance of 1999 and into year 2000.
Additionally, the Mytex facility recognizes revenue as cost plus a management
fee.  The cost of goods sold at the Mytex facility increases at a rate faster
than the increase in management fee during years of plant expansion. Therefore,
the rise in cost of sales as compared to the increase in management fee from
this facility results in lower gross margins during these periods.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased approximately $160,000
during the first quarter ending March 31, 2000 as compared to the same quarter
ending March 31, 1999. The increase is primarily attributable to the plant
expansion at the Mytex facility and the increase in fixed costs at
Chemtrusion, Texas to accommodate anticipated increases in tolling
compounding volume.  The Parent Company's selling, general and administrative
expenses are anticipated to decrease substantially during year 2000 because of
the reduction of overhead as a result of the sale of its InterSystems Nebraska
facility.

The Company realized $52,000 in interest income as a result of the investment of
proceeds from the sale of InterSystems Nebraska.

In early January 2000, the 10% series A bonds at the Parent company level were
retired.  The early retirement of these bonds will save the Company $65,000 in
interest expense in the year 2000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2000
amounted to $177,000.

During the first quarter 2000, the Company has undertaken further expansion of
its Mytex facility.  Through March 31, 2000, Chemtrusion has spent $960,000,
which  will be financed by a long-term note payable to Mytex.  It is anticipated
that Mytex will fund the plant expansion under similar terms as previous
projects.

Net borrowings provided by financing activities for the Mytex facility amounted
to $960,000.  The Company extinguished all of its 10% series A bonds ($650,000)
during the first quarter 2000. Repayment of long-term debt was $576,000.

Cash decreased $1,408,000 for the period ending March 31, 2000.

The Company anticipates that its future operating needs will be satisfied from
the operations of its subsidiary, which is 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.

Chemtrusion

Chemtrusion is party to a credit agreement that provides for advances of up to
$300,000 expired April 21, 2000.  The agreement bears interest at the bank's
prime rate plus 1% (10% at March 31, 2000) and is collateralized by
Chemtrusion's accounts receivable.  As of March 31, 2000, borrowings were
$300,000.  The Company is currently negotiating renewal on this line of credit.


Year 2000 compliance

In early 1998, InterSystems, Inc., and its subsidiary initiated their Year 2000
compliance project.  The evaluation addressed internal hardware and software,
production machinery, key vendors, customers and other significant third
parties.  Neither the Company nor its subsidiary experienced any Y2K
disruptions, nor did any entity expend any significant amounts during 1999 to
ensure Y2K compliance.  There can be no assurance that a Year 2000 problem will
not occur.  However, most key dates relating to potential Year 2000 problems

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 government money market funds, notes
payable and long-term debt.  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.
