ITEM 1.  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.

         In the  opinion  of the  management  of  Skynet  Telematics  Inc.  (the
Company) the accompanying unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments
(consisting  only of normal recurring  adjustments)  necessary to present fairly
the financial  position as of September 30, 1999,  the results of operations for
the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, and the cash
flows for the nine month periods ended September 30, 1999 and 1998.

         While the Company believes that the disclosures  presented are adequate
to make the  information  not  misleading,  it is suggested that these condensed
financial  statements be read in conjunction  with the financial  statements and
the notes included in the Company's latest annual report on Form 10-KSB.

         The statements of operations include the activities of the Company, its
United Kingdom subsidiary Netking Limited  ("Netking") and Netking's  subsidiary
Skynet  Telematics Ltd ("STL")  (formerly  Skynet 2001  Limited),  its 51% owned
United Kingdom subsidiary, Skamp International Ltd ("Skamp International") which
was organized on August 27, 1999, and Skynet Satellite Communication Corporation
("SSCC") which is owned by the Company's U.S. subsidiary Peripheral Canada, Inc.
which is currently inactive.  The accounting records for Netking, STL, and Skamp
International  are denominated in British pounds and translated to U.S.  dollars
for the financial statements.

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

This quarterly report on Form 10-QSB contains forward-looking  statements within
the  meaning  of  the  Private   Securities   Litigation  Reform  Act  of  1995,
particularly statements regarding opportunities for expansion,  growth of sales,
new product sales, revenues from monitoring services, customer acceptance of new
products,   and   selling,    general   and   administrative   expenses.   These
forward-looking  statements involve risks and uncertainties,  and the cautionary
statement set forth below,  identifies  important  risk factors that could cause
actual  results  to  differ   materially   from  those  predicted  in  any  such
forward-looking  statements.  Such  factors  include,  but are not  limited  to,
adverse changes in general economic conditions, including adverse changes in the
specific  markets  for the  Company's  products,  adverse  business  conditions,
decrease  or lack of growth  in the  automotive  industry,  adverse  changes  in
customer  order  patterns,  increased  competition,  lack of  acceptance  of new
products,  pricing  pressures,  lack of success in  technological  advancements,
risks  associated with foreign  operations,  risks associated with the Company's
efforts to comply with the Year 2000 requirements, and other factors.

The  Company  has a short  operating  history.  All risks  inherent in a new and
inexperienced  enterprise are inherent in the Company's business. The Company is
continuing the operations of a subsidiary which was acquired on April 9, 1998.

On April 9, 1998, the Company beneficially  acquired all of the stock of Netking
Limited, an English private limited company ("Netking") from Tomas George Wilmot
("Seller"),  who  beneficially  owned  all of the  stock of  Netking.  The title
holders of Netking were Local  Protectors  Limited and SNH Cooper,  who held the
shares as nominees for Seller.  The purchase price paid for the purchased  stock
was 10,000,000 newly issued shares of the common stock of the Company,  which is
approximately  68.5% of all of the  outstanding  stock of the Company after such
issuance. Tomas George Wilmot,  individually,  is the title holder of all of the
10,000,000  newly issued  shares of the Company.  There are no  arrangements  or
understandings  among members of both the former and new control person or their
associates with respect to election of directors or other matters.

On April 9, 1998, the Company beneficially  acquired all of the stock of Netking
from Seller, who beneficially  owned all of the stock of Netking.  There are two
shares of Netking  outstanding.  Because English law requires two  shareholders,
the  Company  holds  title to one share of stock of Netking  and the Company and
Tomas Wilmot, as nominee for the Company, jointly hold title to the other share.
Netking is the beneficial  owner of Skynet  Telematics Ltd (formerly Skynet 2001
Limited),  an English  private limited company  ("STL").  STL owns  intellectual
property  pertaining to all aspects of the Skynet 2000  in-vehicle  system.  The
Skynet 2000 system uses  communications  and  security  technology  coupled with
proprietary   software  that  provides  in-vehicle   protection,   security  and
information services using mobile cellular  telecommunications.  The Skynet 2000
system provides 24 hour monitoring of vehicle security, personal distress alarm,
and impact sensor and information services, as well as normal cellular telephone
capability.  The  purchase  price paid for the  purchased  stock was  10,000,000
shares of newly issued common stock of the Company, which is approximately 68.5%
of all  of the  outstanding  stock  of the  Company  after  such  issuance.  The
consideration  was determined by arm's length  negotiations  between the Company
and Seller. Prior to the acquisition, there was no material relationship between
the Seller and the Company or any of its affiliates,  any director or officer of
the Company, or any associate of any such director or officer.

A portion of the business of STL and Netking acquired by the Company constitutes
equipment and other  physical  property  previously  used in the business of the
Seller.  The  Company  intends to continue to use such  equipment  and  physical
property  for the same  purposes.  STL now has the Irish  license to  distribute
Skynet products.

Skamp  International is forming a subsidiary  company in Slovenia which will set
up a  monitoring  station  and market  the Skamp  range of  products  in Eastern
Europe.

The discussions  below highlight certain of the more material changes in results
of  operations  and  changes in  financial  condition  for the fiscal nine month
period ended September 30, 1999.

Results of Operations.

The Company has generated  revenues from  operations  since March 1998. The nine
months ended  September  30, 1999  therefore  incorporates  the results for nine
months of  operations  compared to only seven  months for the nine months  ended
September 30, 1998.

The Company's  consolidated  sales for the quarter ended September 30, 1999 were
$83,506 compared to $70,464 in 1998. This is a slight increase over 1998 despite
the sales of the Skynet 2000 unit being  reduced in order to focus the Company's
resources on developing the new Skamp range of products. The Skamp product range
is being modified to suit the Company's  precise  requirements and has undergone
extensive  testing.  Volume sales of the product are expected to commence in the
final quarter of 1999. STL has orders for 87,000 Skamp units that it

                                        8

<PAGE>

anticipates will be provided to customers over the next 18 months.  Revenue from
related services such as monitoring fees,  airtime  connections,  airtime usage,
and  information  services  should  also  add  significantly  to  the  Company's
revenues.

The Company's  consolidated  total cost of sales for the quarter ended September
30, 1999 was $190,690 compared to $172,482 in 1998. The largest component of the
total cost of sales was  product  purchases  representing  52% of the total.  In
1998, the  comparative  figure was 22%. This increase  resulted  mainly from the
growth in sales activity,  particularly the supply in September 1999 of 60 Skamp
units,  part of an order for 500, to Northgate  Plc's fleet of rental  vehicles.
The second  largest  component  of the total cost of sales was wages,  including
social security, for STL monitoring personnel, representing 38% of the total. In
1998, the comparative  figure was 44% although  payments to  subcontractors  for
technical support for the product,  of which there are none in the quarter ended
September 30, 1999, made up another 29%. The actual  monitoring  personnel costs
varied only  marginally  from the quarter  ended  September  30,  1998.  STL has
created a full scale  operational  monitoring  facility  in order to expand that
portion of its business and the current  facility has the capability of handling
a six fold increase in its current  monitoring  business.  STL anticipates  that
revenue  from  monitoring  services  will provide a  substantial  portion of the
Company's future consolidated revenues.

The   Company's   consolidated   overhead   expenses,   including   selling  and
administrative costs for the quarter ended September 30, 1999 were $810,948. The
comparative  figure for 1998 was $578,658 which was  significantly  lower due to
very little interest expense and no costs associated with expanding  operations.
The Company's  infrastructure costs were higher in 1999 than 1998. Comparison of
individual  figures is therefore not  meaningful.  Depreciation  of $221,307 was
charged for the quarter to September 30, 1999, a non-cash  item that  represents
27% of total overhead. The largest element of this was the depreciation of STL's
intellectual property rights in the amount of $192,764.  The depreciation amount
for 1998 was  $187,738.  Research  and  development  expenditure  of $53,730 was
incurred during the quarter  representing  costs  associated with developing and
testing  the new  Skamp  range of  products  and  monitoring  station  software.
Interest  charges  were  incurred  of $20,465,  of which  $20,465 was payable to
shareholders  in respect  to loans made to the  Company  after  March 31,  1998.
General and  administrative  expenses  totaled  $515,446  for the quarter  ended
September  30,  1999,  the largest  component  of which was wages and  salaries,
including social security.  This amounts to $176,179,  or 22% of total overhead,
and  represents  the wages and  salaries  of all of STL's  personnel,  excluding
monitoring and  development  personnel.  The Company and its  subsidiaries  have
created a management  team and other personnel that they believe to be necessary
for the expected  growth of the business.  Other  significant  components of the
Company  and  its   subsidiaries'   overhead   expenses  were  marketing  costs,
professional  fees, and facility  costs such as rent and utilities.  General and
administrative  expenses for 1998 were $390,315,  of which  $135,917  related to
wages and  salaries,  including  social  security.  This amounts to 24% of total
overhead.

The Company's consolidated net loss for the quarter ended September 30, 1999 was
$(917,328) and after foreign currency  translation  gains of $13,592,  the total
comprehensive  loss for the  quarter  was  $(903,736).  For the  September  1998
quarter,  the  consolidated  net loss was  $(680,676)  and there was no  foreign
currency  translation gain or loss. The loss in 1999 is higher mainly because of
more costs associated with expanding operations.

The  consolidated net loss consisted of that of the Company  $(68,731),  Netking
$(823,926),  SSCC  $(21,419),  and  Skamp  International  $(3,252)  for a  total
consolidated net loss of $(917,328).

The Company's  consolidated  sales for the nine months ended  September 30, 1999
were $147,442  compared to $149,647 in 1998.  This decrease is the result of the
sales of the  Skynet  2000 unit being  reduced  in order to focus the  Company's
resources on developing the new Skamp range of products. The Skamp product range
is being modified to suit the Company's  precise  requirements and has undergone
extensive  testing.  Volume sales of the product are expected to commence in the
final quarter of 1999. STL has orders for 87,000 Skamp units that it anticipates
will be provided to  customers  over the next 18 months.  Revenue  from  related
services  such as monitoring  fees,  airtime  connections,  airtime  usage,  and
information services should also add significantly to the Company's revenues.

The  Company's  consolidated  total  cost of  sales  for the nine  months  ended
September  30, 1999 was  $419,239  compared  to  $427,410  in 1998.  The largest
component of the total cost of sales was wages,  including social security,  for
STL  monitoring  personnel,   representing  56%  of  the  total.  In  1998,  the
comparative  figure  was  only  38%  although  payments  to  subcontractors  for
technical  support for the  product,  of which there are none in the nine months
ended  September  30,  1999,  made up another  27%.  The increase in the cost of
personnel is  exaggerated  in this  comparison as nine months of operations  and
related costs are included this year compared to seven months of operations  and
related  costs in 1998  amounts.  The  actual  increase  in  monthly  monitoring
personnel  costs  is  below  10%.  STL  has  created  a full  scale  operational
monitoring  facility in order to expand  that  portion of its  business  and the
current  facility  has the  capability  of  handling a six fold  increase in its
current  monitoring  business.  STL  anticipates  that revenue  from  monitoring
services will provide a substantial portion of the Company's future consolidated
revenues.

The   Company's   consolidated   overhead   expenses,   including   selling  and
administrative  costs  for  the  nine  months  ended  September  30,  1999  were
$2,422,036.   The  comparative   figure  for  1998  was  $1,137,112   which  was
significantly  lower as it only represented  seven month's costs.  Comparison of
individual  figures is therefore not  meaningful.  Depreciation  of $621,551 was
charged  for the nine  months  to  September  30,  1999,  a  non-cash  item that
represents  26%  of  total  overhead.  The  largest  element  of  this  was  the
depreciation  of STL's  intellectual  property rights in the amount of $570,863.
The  depreciation  amount  for  1998  was  $401,841.  Research  and  development
expenditure of $150,860 was incurred during the nine months  representing  costs
associated  with  developing  and testing  the new Skamp  range of products  and
monitoring  station  software.  Interest  charges were incurred of $186,975,  of
which  $66,213  was  payable  to  shareholders  in  respect to loans made to the
Company  after March 31, 1998.  Interest  expense  included  $113,659  paid with
common stock to the former  shareholders of SSCC in connection with the purchase
of SSCC.  General and administrative  expenses,  totaled $1,462,650 for the nine
months ended  September 30, 1999,  the largest  component of which was wages and
salaries,  including social security.  This amounts to $451,092, or 19% of total
overhead,  and  represents  the wages and  salaries  of all of STL's  personnel,
excluding monitoring and development personnel. The Company and its subsidiaries
have  created a  management  team and other  personnel  that they  believe to be
necessary for the expected growth of the business.  Other significant components
of the Company and its  subsidiaries'  overhead  expenses were marketing  costs,
professional  fees, and facility  costs such as rent and utilities.  General and
administrative  expense for 1998 were  $733,614,  of which  $272,434  related to
wages and salaries which were 24% of total overhead.

The Company's consolidated net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 1999
was $(2,693,029) and after foreign currency  translation  losses of $9,684,  the
total comprehensive loss for the nine months was $(2,702,713). For the 1998 nine
month  period,  the  consolidated  net loss was  $(1,564,875)  and  there was no
foreign  currency  translation  gain or loss.  The loss in 1999 is higher mainly
because of more costs associated with expanding operations.

The consolidated net loss consisted of that of the Company  $(463,155),  Netking
$(2,159,308),  SSCC  $(67,314),  and Skamp  International  $(3,252)  for a total
consolidated net loss of $(2,693,029).

Financial Condition.

There were no significant  changes to the net financial condition of the Company
in the nine month period ended  September 30, 1999. The working  capital deficit
decreased  by about  $240,000  mainly  as a result  of an  increase  in cash and
inventory.  The  Company  continues  to believe it has the  support of its major
stockholders and that financing is available to meet all requirements.  In 1999,
the Company raised $2,300,000 by issuing Regulation S shares. This extra working
capital will allow the Company to fully exploit the market potential for the new
Skamp range of products,  and expand its business in a controlled but aggressive
manner.

Readiness for Year 2000

The Company has  analyzed  its Year 2000 risk and,  although it is  confident of
Year 2000 compliance,  a process of checks is ongoing.  The monitoring equipment
for the Skynet  2000  system  has been  upgraded  to meet Year 2000  compliance.
ComROAD has confirmed that its products  provided to STL are Year 2000 compliant
including all equipment  purchased  from ComROAD to monitor the Skamp  products.
The Company does not expect any Year 2000 problems to have a material  impact on
the Company's business.

Significant Subsequent Events

During  October  1999,  250 Skamp  units were  fitted to an Avis fleet of rental
vehicles at Heathrow, London. Skamp is being marketed by Avis as "Rapid 247". On
October 14, 1999, the Company  reached an agreement to buy 12.5% of West Country
Telecom  Limited  ("WCT") for a combination  of cash and common stock.  WCT is a
private company specializing in telecommunications  and internet,  and will give
the Company  immediate  access to a multilingual  integrated  voice  recognition
platform and an internet service  provider.  Skamp Motorbike was launched at the
British Motor Cycle Show on November 3, 1999.
