                                   (UNAUDITED)


Note 1.

        The accompanying consolidated financial statements of Interscience
Computer Corporation (the "Company") have been prepared without audit pursuant
to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain
information and footnote disclosure normally included in the financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although
the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the
information presented not misleading. These financial statements should be read
in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related footnotes
included in the Company's latest Annual Report on Form 10-KSB. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments,
necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of March
31, 2000, and the statements of its operations for the three month periods ended
March 31, 2000 and 1999, and the statements of its operations and its cash flows
for the six month periods ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 have been included. The
results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the
results which may be realized for the full year.

        The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of
three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. These interim
financial statements for the period ended March 31, 2000, reflect continuing
operations; discontinued or sold subsidiaries have been included on a separate
line item.

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS

        In December 1999, the Company reached a settlement with OCE GmbH and OCE
Printing Systems, USA Inc., ("OCE") resolving all disputes between the
companies. Under the settlement, the Company retained all rights to its Fusing
Agent Patent, and all lawsuits pending between the Company and OCE will be
dismissed. The Company also received $950,000 from OCE on December 31, 1999 and
both sides have released all claims against each other. Legal expense of
$182,000 related to the settlement was booked during the current quarter.

        On January 25, 2000, the Company sold all assets relating to the fusing
agent business to The Bradshaw Group for $550,000 in cash. Assets included
inventory and work in process located in Chino, California and the exclusive
right to use the Company's U.S. Fusing Agent Patent number 5,333,042.

        During the period the Company completed a private placement of
$3,270,000 of common stock. It is anticipated that these funds will be used to
expand the Highway Server business.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis and Plan of Operation.

        The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with
the financial statements and notes thereto in this quarterly report.


OVERVIEW

        In December 1999, the Company, OCE GmbH and OCE Printing Systems, USA
Inc. (the "OCE Group") reached a settlement resolving all disputes regarding the
Company's Fusing Agent Patent and the Company's allegations that the OCE Group
and others committed violations of the U.S. antitrust laws which damaged the
Company. Under the settlement, the Company retained all rights to its Fusing
Agent Patent, and all lawsuits pending between the Company and OCE Group will be
dismissed. The Company has also received $950,000 from the OCE Group and both
sides have released all claims against each other. Legal expense of $182,000
related to the settlement was booked during current quarter. The Company has
retained all rights against Siemens Corporation for violations of the U.S.
antitrust laws by Siemens prior to April 1, 1996 which affected the Company.

        On September 17, 1999, the Company acquired the assets of Camino
Software Systems, Inc. ("Camino") for 468,000 shares of the Company's common
stock and assumed $315,172 of certain Camino liabilities. The Company had
considered over 65 companies as possible acquisition candidates prior to the
acquisition of the Camino assets. The Camino assets consisted of the name,
Camino Software Systems, Inc., the data storage management software, certain
business contracts and intangible personal property. Camino had developed the
Highway Server hierarchical storage management ("HSM") software. The Company
plans on improving sales, marketing and customer service while continuing
development of its HSM technology. The objective of the acquisition of Camino
was to diversify the Company's revenue base to initially augment and eventually
replace declining revenues from the traditional fusing agent and toner business.

        Camino's Highway Server software provides a solution for addressing the
increasing need for sophisticated management of data. Designed to meet the data
storage management requirements for local area networks (LAN), wide area
networks (WAN), and intranet environments, the Highway Server offers its users
the ability to more efficiently manage available storage within a multi-server
environment where mass storage devices are used to increase storage capacity. As
more and more companies move away from mid and main frame computer to networked
systems to meet their computing requirements, the need for more sophisticated
software to emulate the flexibility and power of mid and main frames has become
more acute. With the exponential growth of information, data storage
requirements have also grown exponentially. The result has been that network
managers are having to deal with the re-occurring "out of



                                       9
<PAGE>   10

disk space" problem on their company's network. Though hardware cost of storage
continues to decrease, the cost of managing the data being stored has increased.
Human intervention is still required on the part of network managers to
determine which data files on the system need to be "on-line", "near-line", or
are used sufficiently infrequently to be relegated to "off-line" storage.

        Prior to January 25, 2000 the Company's principal product was a liquid
Fusing Agent used by the Model 2200 Siemens Printer. The Company sold the Fusing
Agent to distributors of the product including OCE Printing Systems, USA Inc.,
The Bradshaw Group and NCR Corporation. On January 25, 2000, the Company sold
all of the assets related to the Fusing Agent business to the Bradshaw Group for
$550,000 in cash.

        During the period the Company completed a private placement of
$3,270,000 of common stock. It is anticipated that these funds will be used to
expand the Highway Server business.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

        The Three Month Periods Ended March 31, 2000 and March 31, 1999.

        Sales of fusing agent for the current quarter decreased by approximately
$211,000 as compared to the previous year. The decline is attributable to the
fact that the business was sold in January 2000. Sales of the Highway Server
software which was purchased in September 1999, did not exist last year. The
Highway Server sales were the same in this quarter as in the quarter ended
December 31 1999.

        Cost of sales increased by approximately $110,000 or 46%. The increase
was due to a final sale of fusing agent in connection with the sale of that
business. Cost of sales of the Highway Server remains at approximately 1% of the
Highway Server sales.

        Selling and administrative expenses increased by approximately $556,000.
The increase is due to the expansion of our staff in preparation for additional
Highway Server sales. This increase also includes $150,000 of executive bonuses
which were paid in stock.

        The expense of $182,000 on the legal settlement reflects legal costs
which are applied to the $950,000 settlement reported in the quarter ended
December 31, 1999.

        The income from discontinued operations reflects the profit on the sale
of the declining fusing agent business net of all applicable expenses.

        The loss for the period of $539,481 represents the termination of the
prior fusing agent business and the startup expenses of the newly acquired
business.

        The Six Month Periods Ended March 31, 2000 and March 31, 1999.

        Sales of fusing agent decreased approximately $547,000 or 48% compared
to the prior year. This decrease was attributable to the fact that the business
was sold in January 2000. The prior period had six months of sales compared to
four months in the current period.

        Cost of sales remained approximately the same but increased as a
percentage of sales from 42% to 64%. This was due to one large accommodation
sale in connection with the sale of the business.

        Sales and administrative expenses increased approximately $655,000 or
191%. This was due to the startup expenses of the new business acquired in
September 1999, as well as year end stock bonuses paid to 2 key executives.



                                       10
<PAGE>   11

        The income from Legal Settlement reflects the net income received from
OCE Corp. on settling the companies claims against them on an anti-trust matter.
The Company has retained its rights against Siemens Corp. with respect to
possible violations of the U.S. antitrust laws.

        Income from Discontinued Operations of $296,680 reflects sale of the
fusing agent business after all expenses.

        Net profit for the six months remains approximately the same but is
derived from different sources.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

        Cash increased in the six months by approximately $3,000,000 as a result
of the Company completing a $3,270,000 private placement of common stock. The
Company believes that its working capital and projected cash flow from
operations will be sufficient to meet its ongoing operational requirements over
the next twelve months. The Company presently has over $3,000,000 in cash and
short term investments and no bank or long term debt.
