             Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
                              September 30, 2000

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. 1999
        Form 10-K.

NOTE 2. As of September 30, 2000, the Company purchased participations of
        $800,000 in third party receivables held by Mezzanine Financial Fund LP.
        Interest accrues at the rate of 1.5% per month.

NOTE 3. Inventories consisted of the following (in thousands):

                                  September 30,          December 31,
                                       2000                  1999

                                       ====                  ====

NOTE 4. The basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the
        net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted
        average number of common shares outstanding.

        Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the
        net income (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
        earnings (loss) per share (in thousands, except per share amounts):

NOTE 5. 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 was 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

                                  Page 9 of 13

        expensed, as a cumulative effect of change in accounting principle, for
        the period ended March 31, 1999.

NOTE 6. 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 of
        operations.

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

As of August 28, 2000, the Board of Directors of InterSystems, Inc. has
authorized the Company to embark on a strategic new initiative of utilizing its
cash position to provide structured capital funding for small and mid size
business enterprises.  Presently the Company's primary operations consist of the
custom compounding of thermoplastic resins as operated by Chemtrusion, Inc.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three and Nine Month Periods Ended September 30, 2000 and 1999

Revenue for the third quarter 2000 increased by $437,000 (12.1%) compared to the
third 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.  While Chemtrusion Texas has attempted to broaden its
customer base, sales in Texas remain slow because of the cyclical nature of the
plastics industry.  The effect of interest rate hikes have negatively impacted
Chemtrusion, Texas business.  Revenue at Texas were essentially flat for the
comparative three month period ending September 30, 2000 and 1999.  Revenue at
Chemtrusion's Mytex facility in Indiana (the "Mytex facility") increased
$455,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2000 as compared to the same
quarter ending September 30, 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.  Revenue for the nine months ending September
30, 2000 increased by $1,777,000 over the nine month period ending September 30,
1999.  The increase was a result of increased toll compounding volume at the
Mytex facility.

Chemtrusion's gross margin decreased from 32.3% in the third quarter 1999 to
27.4% in the third quarter 2000, and from 32.4% to 28.6% for the nine months
ending September 30, 1999 and September 30, 2000, respectively.  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 $42,000
during the third quarter ending September 30, 2000 as compared to the same
quarter ending September 30, 1999, and $284,000 for the nine months ending
September 30,

                                 Page 10 of 13
<PAGE>

2000 and 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 have decreased
substantially during year 2000 because of the reduction of overhead as a result
of the sale of its InterSystems Nebraska facility.

The Company realized $172,000 in interest income year-to-date 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 provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30,
2000 amounted to $679,000.

During the first quarter 2000, the Company has undertaken further expansion of
its Mytex facility.  Through September 30, 2000, Chemtrusion has spent
$6,729,000 in the year 2000 for plant expansion, which is financed by Mytex.  It
is anticipated that Mytex will fund the plant expansion under similar terms as
previous projects.  Chemtrusion, Texas has completed modifications of one of its
compounding lines.  The total cost of the Texas project was approximately
$600,000.

During the third quarter, the Company announced that it would pursue a business
of providing structured capital to small and mid sized business enterprises.  In
furtherance of that business, the Company, as of September 30, 2000, had
purchased participations of $800,000 in accounts receivable that had been
purchased from third parties by Mezzanine Financial Fund LP.  The Company's
participation is earning interest at the rate of 1.5% per month.

Net borrowings provided by financing activities for the Mytex facility amounted
to $6,729,000.  The Company extinguished all of its 10% series A bonds
($646,000) during the first quarter 2000. Repayment of long-term debt was
$1,604,000.

Cash decreased $3,023,000 for the nine months ending September 30, 2000 as a
result of repayment of bank and bond debt, the purchase of the participations,
and payment of the modifications to the compounding line in Texas.

The Company anticipates that its future operating cash needs will be satisfied
from the operations of its Chemtrusion subsidiary and available cash on hand.
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 was party to a credit agreement that provided for advances of up to
$300,000.  The line of credit expired October 21, 2000 and was repaid in full at
that time.  The interest rate was the bank's prime rate plus 1% (10.5% at
September 30, 2000) and was collateralized by Chemtrusion's accounts receivable.
At September 30, 2000, borrowings were $300,000.

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
have passed.

Forward Looking Statements

This report for the quarter ended September 30, 2000 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 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.
