FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
All statements contained herein that are not historical facts,
including but not limited to, statements regarding anticipated future capital
requirements, Continental Information Systems Corporation's with its
subsidiaries (the "Company") future development plans, the Company's ability to
obtain additional debt, equity or other financing, and the Company's ability to
generate cash from operations and further savings from existing operations, are
based on current expectations. These statements are forward looking in nature
and involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ
materially. Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ
materially are the following: the availability of sufficient capital to finance
the Company's business plan on terms satisfactory to the Company and the
potential impact on asset realization; competitive factors; the inability to
find a strategic alternative, in the form of a partner, investor or buyer, for
the continued development of the Company's software technologies; the inability
to successfully perfect the Company's pending patents; risks associated with
collecting on the Company's notes receivable arising out of various settlements
in the aviation business; risks attendant to the Company's finance activities
generally, including the risks of leverage, risks of borrower default, general
economic and real estate market conditions, and pricing pressures which could
affect the value of the Company's assets; changes in equipment and capital
costs; general business, economic and regulatory conditions; and the other risk
factors described from time to time in the Company's reports filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The Company cautions readers not to
place undue reliance on any such forward looking statements, which are made
pursuant to the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and, as such,
speak only as of the date made. The Company undertakes no obligation to update
such forward-looking statements.
PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
INTRODUCTION AND HISTORY
Continental Information Systems Corporation is a New York Corporation
that was organized in 1968. The Company was a specialized financial services
company that engaged in the leasing, sales and management of commercial aircraft
and engines, among other assets, and was also engaged in other financing
activities, including commercial real estate financing. In August 1999, the
Company ceased entering into new equipment leases and sold a substantial portion
of its remaining lease portfolio. Since then, the Company has disposed of the
balance of its remaining lease portfolio. In July 2000, one of the Company's
subsidiaries, CIS Air Corporation, a Delaware corporation, ("CIS Air") exited
the aviation business.
In August 1999, the Company changed its focus to the development and
commercialization of a Web-enabled electronic securities processing software
platform using proprietary technology. This technology was intended to adapt to
changes in the securities industry including operational changes related to
increased volume, the ability to effect trades through the Internet, Electronic
Crossing Networks, decimalization, expanded trading hours, various rule changes
and the shift from settling trades in three days to settling trades in one day.
This latter shift is commonly referred to as "T+1." The subsidiary that was
formed to engage in this line of business is T1Xpert Corp. ("T1Xpert").
T1Xpert had begun developing a suite of middle and back office
brokerage products and solutions. The products and solutions were designed to
serve as a software platform for risk reduction for the next generation of real
time systems and in preparation for T+1. The Company's product development
strategy was to develop T1Xpert incrementally, with a series of independent
products that, in total, would constitute a full real-time straight through
transaction processing, balancing, and risk-management system. Each product was
designed to build on the functions and infrastructure of the previous products.
T1Xpert expended approximately $6.2 million from its inception in August 1999
through May 31, 2002.
Prior to September 11, 2001, T1Xpert had begun work on a software
development project for a global investment bank, at the bank's premises (where
T1Xpert maintained a satellite office) located in the immediate vicinity of the
World Trade Center. This project was canceled as a result of the terrorist
attacks of September 11, 2001 against the United States of America which had a
negative effect on the U.S. securities industry and T1Xpert. In addition, due to
security and safety measures taken by federal, state and city authorities in
lower Manhattan, where the Company's offices were located at that time, T1Xpert
had to suspend all software development work for approximately two weeks. During
this two-week period, communication with T1Xpert's offices was severely
compromised.
- 3 -
On December 27, 2001, the Company ceased active operations and
additional funding of product development at T1Xpert for several reasons. The
Company's contract with the global investment bank was delayed and subsequently
cancelled due to the events of September 11th. Despite this, T1Xpert intended to
continue product development and seek a replacement investment banking customer.
However, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing during the
economic environment post-September 11, 2001 was greatly hampered. The Company
made claims under its existing policies of insurance for compensation in order
to continue operations. The Company believed it had sufficient coverage to allow
it to continue development and installation under its existing contract and
sufficient funding to locate a substitute investment banking customer to replace
the cancelled contract had it received sufficient insurance proceeds. Efforts to
date to collect under the Company's insurance policies have been unsuccessful.
The Company continues to pursue its claims under its insurance policies and has
filed a lawsuit against its insurer. No assurance can be given that such efforts
will be successful.
The Company is now considering various strategic alternatives to
realize value from T1Xpert. These alternatives include the sale of T1Xpert or
finding a strategic partner to undertake commercialization of T1Xpert's
products. Although the product still needs further development, the original
development team has been disbanded. There is no client currently scheduled to
use the product. Therefore, a sale would likely be of limited value. Potential
strategic partners would ideally need to have the ability to continue
development and would most likely require that a client be found for the product
before being willing to invest. To date T1Xpert has not found a client willing
to be a beta client on terms favorable to T1Xpert. T1Xpert is further hampered
in its marketing efforts as a result of its cessation of activities and lack of
marketing personnel. If T1Xpert is successful in finding a strategic partner, it
will likely result in a substantial dilution of the Company's interest in
T1Xpert. While the Company has been pursuing these alternatives, to date it has
been unsuccessful. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful
in any of its efforts, in which case no value is likely to be realized from its
T1Xpert subsidiary.
The financial statements contained herein have been prepared by
management in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a
going concern. However, the Company has ceased active operations and has ceased
additional funding of T1Xpert, has sustained substantial operating losses and
has used substantial amounts of working capital in its operations.
In view of these matters, realization of the assets of the Company is
dependent upon the Company's ability to meet its financing requirements and the
success of future operations. The financial statements do not include
adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset
amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the
Company be unable to continue in existence. The financial statements contained
herein do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this
uncertainty.
STRATEGIC ALTERNATIVES
The Company is seeking other strategic opportunities going forward to
maximize shareholder value after the suspension of active operations of T1Xpert.
Such opportunities may include, but are not limited to, a business combination
with another entity. Under the terms of any such opportunity, current
shareholders may suffer substantial dilution of their interests. There can also
be no assurance that the Company will be successful in its efforts to find such
strategic opportunities or, if it does, that any such new business combination
will be successful. Furthermore, because development of T1Xperts products and
solutions was stopped prior to completion, there is no assurance that if or when
the Company finds a strategic alternative for T1Xpert, the products and
solutions will function as planned. The risk of obsolescence and superior
competitive products entering the market increases with the passage of time.
These factors, among others, may substantially diminish the value of any
strategic sale or partnership with respect to T1Xpert.
- 4 -
CUSTOMERS AND MARKETING
When the Company was forced to cease funding T1Xpert, the Company was
also forced to suspend its beta installation which would have required
additional funding from the Company. As a result, there can be no assurance
that, if and when the Company can find a suitable strategic alternative, the
software will operate in a commercially reasonable fashion. This problem is
magnified in technology projects by both the passing of time, which tends to
diminish the value of existing software and allows for the introduction of
superior competitive solutions, and by the disbandment of the technology team
that originated the project. Should a strategic alternative be found, it is
expected that it would require substantial additional expense in having a new
team get acquainted with the product. Despite intense efforts to date to find a
suitable strategic alternative, none has been found.
The financial statements contained herein do not include any
adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
COMPETITION
Even if a strategic alternative is found and operations at T1Xpert
are resumed, T1Xpert will face competition from systems developed by other, much
larger companies, and its success will depend on the ability of the Company to
reposition itself as the preferred product solution. This, in turn, will depend
on the speed with which the Company can resume and complete the development and
commercialize its products to its target users. Potential competitors may have
access to greater resources or better technology.
The Company's continued ability to compete effectively is also
materially affected by its ability to attract a suitable strategic alternative
possessing necessary qualified personnel and by the availability of financing on
competitive terms and conditions.
PROPRIETARY RIGHTS
The Company currently has no patents, however, it is in the process
of evaluating several United States patent applications. The Company's ability
to succeed in perfecting these patents will depend on finding a strategic
alternative and the development of related proprietary technologies and
specialized processes either alone or in conjunction with others. Securing
patents will also require that the Company replace the intellectual knowledge of
the personnel involved in the original patent applications, who are no longer
employed by the Company. These proprietary technologies and processes will
require the Company to secure patents and trademarks to protect its systems and
services. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in doing
so. The Company may use licenses from other relevant technology providers that
may be important to the Company's business.
DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
The Company has two subsidiaries that have previously discontinued
their operations.
Through its wholly owned subsidiary, CIS Air, the Company
participated in the worldwide market for the sale and leasing of used,
commercial aircraft and aircraft engines. In recent periods, CIS Air's
activities consisted primarily of acquiring aircraft engines and then selling,
leasing or selling them subject to lease. CIS Air financed its portfolio
acquisitions with cash flows from operations or through borrowings under CIS
Air's revolving credit facility.
In July 2000, the Company sold a portion of its engine portfolio and
began to liquidate the balance of its engine portfolio and other aviation
assets. The proceeds of the sales were used to pay down CIS Air's existing
credit facility with its lender. As of June 21, 2001, the balance on the credit
facility was fully paid. The Company is treating the aviation business as a
discontinued operation with appropriate disclosure and valuation under
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
As of May, 2002, the majority of the assets and liabilities relating
to CIS Air's business have been sold or settled. Therefore, any remaining assets
or liabilities have not been accounted for as discontinued operations.
In February 2001, a subsidiary of CIS Air, CIS Aircraft Partners
Inc., ceased operations.
In August 1999, the Company's subsidiary, CIS Corporation, ceased
entering into new equipment leases and sold a substantial portion of its
remaining lease portfolio.
- 5 -
The Consolidated Balance Sheets and Statements of Operations for all
periods presented have been reclassified to report the results of discontinued
operations separately from those of continuing operations.
OTHER FINANCE ACTIVITIES
In July 1997, the Company entered into a Joint Investment Agreement
with Emmes Investment Management Co. LLC to provide up to $8 million in
high-yield, short-term funding for commercial real estate transactions. The
Company has ceased making additional investments under the Agreement and has no
obligation to make any additional investments under the Agreement. At May 31,
2002, the Company's sole remaining investment in such transactions was
approximately $336,585, net of a reserve for loss on investment of $153,149.
The Company has made loans or loan guarantees to borrowers with
profiles that did not meet the requirements of traditional lending institutions.
Based on the unique nature of the loans, the Company received fees, equity
interests or other forms of remuneration in addition to traditional interest.
The Company is in the process of managing, collecting and liquidating several
such loans and loan guarantees. One of the loans was made to ContentWise, a
video technology company founded in 1993 as a spin-off from an Israeli defense
contractor. Originally founded in 1993, ContentWise is a spin-off of El-Op
Electro-Optic Industries, Inc., a major Israeli defense contractor which
supplied the night-vision and laser guidance systems for the Apache helicopter
and the fire control system for the Merkava battle tank. As set forth in its
December 1999 business plan, ContentWise's management was led by Dr. Michael
Brunstein, Chairman, Jed M. Arkin, President and Asher Hershtik, CEO. Dr.
Brunstein is the Founder and Managing Director of Applied Materials Israel,
Ltd., the Israeli operating subsidiary of Applied Materials, Inc., a leader in
semiconductor manufacturing equipment. Prior to joining ContentWise in 1998, Mr.
Arkin managed the technology portfolio of The Challenge Fund, one of the largest
venture capital funds in Israel. Prior to founding ContentWise, Mr. Hershtik
served as CEO of Terra Computers, a subsidiary of El-Op Israel Electro-Optics
Industries, Ltd.
In late 1999, ContentWise sought the investment of $3 million for
product and technology development in Israel, and to develop a U.S.-based sales
and support office in Los Angeles. At that time, ContentWise owned a video
matching technology that was capable of recognizing previously logged video
clips when encountered in a television broadcast, tape output or streaming video
over the Internet. This technology had several possible commercial applications
including broadcast monitoring, DVD quality control and digital asset
management.
ContentWise and the Company entered into a short-term bridge
financing pending the $3 million capital infusion. Pursuant to and in support of
the terms contained in a Bridge Loan Agreement between ContentWise and the
Company dated as of December 30, 1999, the Company placed funds on deposit for
two letters of credit hypothecated to the Bank of New York and United Mizrachi
Bank which guaranteed a $900,000 loan made to ContentWise. These funds were
placed in accounts which bore interest at rates in excess of 5 percent. The
Company's loan guarantee was a short-term obligation: ContentWise was required
to repay the loan on the earlier of (i) the closing of the next round of
financing or (ii) twelve months from the date of the loan. The loan guarantee
was secured: ContentWise granted a security interest in all of ContentWise's
assets, including a security interest in, and mortgage on, all right, title and
interest, but none of the obligations to its patents, together with any
application improvement or extension thereof and any and all royalties for any
licenses thereof. ContentWise also granted the Company a priority claim on its
anticipated cash flow in order to secure further the repayment of the loan. In
addition, ContentWise issued to the Company warrants to purchase on a cashless
basis ContentWise shares issued in ContentWise's next round of financing. The
number of shares covered by the warrants was equal to 33% of the amount borrowed
from Bank Mizrachi divided by the exercise price on the warrants (15% discount
from the price paid by investors in the next round.) Pursuant to the agreement,
if the next round of financing did not take place within 6 months, the 33%
figure would be increased to 50%. Further, if an initial public offering of
ContentWise's securities yielded net proceeds of at least $15 million, the
warrants would automatically convert into fully paid and non assessable shares
computed by the number of warrants held multiplied by the difference between the
IPO price and the exercise price divided by the IPO price. At the time the
Company provided the loan guarantee, it reasonably believed that ContentWise
would successfully complete further rounds of financing and repay the loan from
the next round of equity financing.
After the Company entered into the bridge financing, ContentWise
advised the Company that it had completed additional financings but in amounts
less than the trigger level which would have required ContentWise to use the
proceeds from these additional financings to repay the loan which the Company
guaranteed. ContentWise further advised the Company that due to the dramatic and
unexpected economic downturn through 2000 and continuing into 2001, particularly
with regard to private financing of high technology startup companies,
ContentWise was unable to complete further rounds of financing. ContentWise
thereafter defaulted and as a result, in July 2001, the letters of credit
- 6 -
were called and the Company's funds on deposit were used to satisfy such demand.
The Company is currently working to enforce its patent collateral.
The Company accounted for the funds on deposit for the letters of
credit that guaranteed the $900,000 loan as restricted cash for the year ended
May 31, 2000. A year later, based upon the above considerations, the Company
wrote off this asset by posting a $900,000 loan guarantee liability in the
Company's balance sheet for the year ended May 31, 2001. During the year ended
May 31, 2002, the Company paid the $900,000 liability.
In recognition of weak market conditions and based on management's
assessment of the probability of collection, the Company wrote down its
investments in all its high technology companies by $1.3 million (including
$900,000 related to ContentWise) in the fiscal year ended May 31, 2001.
FINANCING
The Company's financing strategy had been primarily to use its own
capital, except in the aviation subsidiary where the Company also had a
collateralized, revolving loan agreement with an institution to provide lease
and inventory financing for aircraft engines for CIS Air in the amount of
$10,000,000. The facility bore interest at prime plus 1/4% and expired in
December 2000. The Company arranged for several extensions with its lender. On
June 21, 2001, the debt was fully paid with proceeds from the sale of the
engines.
CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
Of the Company's notes receivable balance of $1.32 million, $1.12
million is owed by one customer in the aviation business. Thus, the Company is
directly affected by the well being of this one company and the airline industry
in general. The events of September 11, 2001, negatively impacted the airline
industry. The credit risk associated with this customer is mitigated by the note
being collateralized; however a substantial portion of such collateral is
outside the United States, thereby creating potential difficulties for the
recovery of collateral in case of default. Further, it is estimated that the
value of the underlying collateral is below the carrying value of the note.
EMPLOYEES
As of June 30, 2002, the Company has one full-time employee. This
employee works in administration and is not employed under a collective
bargaining agreement.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
The Company's executive offices were located in downtown Manhattan.
The Company occupied office space under a lease which was in the aggregate
approximately 6,000 square feet, for an aggregate monthly rental of
approximately $14,000.
On February 26, 2002, the Company entered into a lease termination
agreement with its landlord for the remaining three years of its lease rental
obligations. This agreement released the Company from its lease obligation on
the premises. Such obligation was estimated to be $501,000 of base rent plus
additional utilities and operating expenses. In connection with this agreement,
the Company incurred a loss on disposal of fixed assets in the amount of
$48,000, incurred two months rental expense and incurred estimated moving costs
of approximately $14,500. The Company is temporarily leasing space on an annual
basis from Oscar Gruss & Son Incorporated ("OGSI"), a shareholder of the
Company. OGSI was able to provide a built out office for immediate occupancy
which enabled the Company to move its operations and store its T1Xpert
technology without significant disruption. The Company is subject to conditions
existing under OGSI's lease, including the possibility that should OGSI
terminate its lease, the Company would be forced to find a new office space. In
the opinion of management, the lease terms with OGSI are more favorable than
exist in the open marketplace.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On March 3, 2000, Dallas AeroSpace, Inc. ("Dallas") of Texas filed
suit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York
against CIS Air for breach of contract and other causes of action in connection
with the sale of an engine to Dallas in August 1997. Dallas is seeking damages
for the purchase price of the engine in the amount of $1,150,000 plus punitive
damages of $2,300,000, or in the alternative an order requiring CIS Air to
repurchase the engine from Dallas. CIS Air has denied any liability to Dallas on
any of the causes of action, and has asserted its defenses. Extensive discovery
has been completed and the case is ready for trial. In December 2001, CIS Air
filed a motion for summary judgment seeking dismissal of all claims. No decision
on this motion has yet been made.
On April 24, 2000 CIS Air filed suit in the United States District
Court for the Northern District of New York against American Air Ventures, Inc.
("American Air"), a Florida corporation. The suit seeks reimbursement in
connection with losses incurred in joint venture agreements between the parties
for the purchase and sale of engines. The suit further seeks indemnification
from American Air should CIS Air be found liable to Dallas Aerospace, because
CIS Air purchased the engine sold to Dallas AeroSpace from American Air. The
parties settled their lawsuit under the joint venture agreement, but left open
all issues related to the Dallas matter.
On March 7, 2000 CIS Air filed suit against Express One
International, Inc. ("Express One"), a Delaware corporation, in the Supreme
Court, State of New York, County of New York. The suit seeks damages of
approximately $118,000 in unpaid rent and repair charges. Express One filed for
bankruptcy in March 2002 shortly after CIS filed its motion for summary
judgment. An automatic stay in connection with the bankruptcy proceeding
prevents further action at this time. CIS Air intends to file a claim in the
bankruptcy court action against Express One.
In July 2001, CIS Air filed suit in State Court of Florida, Broward
County against Aviation Systems International ("ASI") and the TIMCO division of
Aviation Sales Company relating to damage sustained by a CIS Air aircraft. The
aircraft was parked at TIMCO's maintenance facility when it was struck and
severely damaged by two other aircraft owned by ASI. CIS Air has been reimbursed
for a portion of the damages by its insurance carrier, and is seeking to recover
the $500,000 deductible and other unpaid costs from TIMCO and ASI. The suit is
in the discovery stage of litigation.
The Bankruptcy Trustee in the bankruptcy case of Sky Trek
International, a former lessee of aircraft engines of CIS Air, filed a claim
against CIS Air on May 9, 2002 in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the
District of New Jersey seeking to obtain the return of $116,000 in security
deposits on two aircraft engines that were returned to CIS Air prior to the
lease expirations. CIS Air is opposing this demand and has asserted
counterclaims in excess of the amount of the security deposit.
On June 3, 2002 the Company commenced an action in the Southern
District of New York against its insurer, Federal Insurance Company, seeking
reimbursement for losses under its insurance policy associated with the
September 11, 2001 terrorist attack in downtown Manhattan. The case is in its
early stages.
The Company commenced an action against a former lessee of equipment
and two guarantors for non-payment of lease payments owed. The Company obtained
a judgment and is pursuing recovery against one of the guarantors. The second
guarantor has filed for bankruptcy and there is no assurance of the amount, if
any, that will be recovered from the non-bankrupt guarantor.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
INTRODUCTION
The following discussion and analysis of the financial condition and
results of operations of the Company should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto which appear elsewhere
in this Form 10-K.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
CONTINUING OPERATIONS
REVENUES
For the three fiscal years ended May 31, 2002, total revenues
decreased to $354,000 in fiscal 2002 from $1.3 million in fiscal 2001 and from
$8.5 million in fiscal 2000. Equipment sales decreased to $-0- in fiscal 2002
from $633,000 in fiscal 2001, and from $4.7 million in fiscal 2000. With the
discontinuation of lease originations in August 1999 and sale of a substantial
portion of the portfolio in fiscal 2000, there were no equipment sales in fiscal
2002. The significant decrease (86.5%) in equipment sales during the fiscal year
2001 was due to the sale of the majority of computer equipment leases for $2.6
million to one lessee at the end of their lease term during the third and fourth
quarters of fiscal 2000. The Company recorded a gain of $608,000, net of
remarketing fees in the amount of $155,000 in fiscal 2000 for sales of
previously leased computers. In August 1999, a substantial portion of the
general equipment lease portfolio was sold for $1.7 million.
Equipment rentals and income from direct financing leases decreased
to $34,000 in fiscal 2002 from $110,000 in fiscal 2001 and from $3.0 million in
fiscal 2000. The decreases are primarily attributable to the sale of the lease
portfolio during the fiscal years 2001 and 2000.
Interest, fees and other income decreased to $320,000 in fiscal 2002
from $529,000 in fiscal 2001, and from $750,000 in fiscal 2000. The decrease is
the result of lower notes receivable and lower cash balances because of the
funding of T1Xpert operations.
COSTS AND EXPENSES
Total costs and expenses decreased to $4.4 million in fiscal 2002
from $7.5 million in fiscal 2001 and from $10.9 million in fiscal 2000. The
decrease is a result of lower cost of sales incurred in the equipment leasing
and sales business, and lower research and development expenses incurred by
T1Xpert, offset by higher selling, general and administrative expenses. Cost of
sales decreased to $-0- in fiscal 2002 from $1.0 million in fiscal 2001, and
from $3.7 million in fiscal 2000. The decrease in 2001 is a direct result of the
86.5% decrease in sales between fiscal years 2001 and 2000. Cost of sales as a
percentage of equipment sales for the fiscal years ended May 31, 2001 and 2000
was 158.8% and 79.6%, respectively. The increase in fiscal 2001 is due to
certain losses on the sale of equipment.
Depreciation of rental equipment decreased to $-0- in fiscal 2002
from $26,000 in fiscal 2001 and from $2.4 million in fiscal 2000. These
decreases are due to a decrease in the amounts of owned rental equipment as a
result of the sale of the leasing portfolio.
Interest expense decreased to $-0- in fiscal 2002 from $5,000 in
fiscal 2001 and from $16,000 in fiscal 2000. These variances reflect the changes
in the average debt outstanding during the respective periods, and the repayment
of the revolving loan agreement on June 21, 2001.
Research and development expenses decreased to $1.7 million in fiscal
2002 from $2.8 million in fiscal 2001 which increased from $1.6 million in
fiscal 2000. The decrease in fiscal 2002 was the result of the cessation of
operations by T1Xpert in December 2001. The increase in fiscal 2001 was due to
T1Xpert's development of its product as the Company assembled a marketing and
business development program.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $2.5
million in fiscal 2002 from $2.0 million in fiscal 2001 and $2.4 million in
fiscal 2000. In fiscal 2002 the increase in selling, general and administrative
expenses was principally due to costs associated with restructuring of the
Company's operations, increased professional fees and
- 11 -
lease termination expense. The decrease in fiscal 2001 was principally due to
cost containment efforts and staff reduction between the periods.
INCOME TAXES
The Company's ability to realize any of its deferred tax assets is
dependent on the Company generating future taxable earnings, the income taxes on
which would be offset by the Company's NOL carryforwards. The NOL carryforwards
resulted from the Company's emergence from bankruptcy pursuant to a chapter 11
plan of reorganization in November 1994. The Company provided a full valuation
allowance for these deferred tax assets as of May 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002 since,
in management's opinion, the future realizability of the deferred tax assets is
uncertain in light of its actual operating results since reorganization. This
action does not impair the availability of the NOL carryforwards to offset any
future taxable earnings. The pre-reorganization NOL carryforwards expire during
the years 2004 to 2010. Utilization of the pre-reorganization NOL carryforwards
is limited to approximately $2 million per year. The Company periodically
reviews the adequacy of the valuation allowance for NOL carryforwards and will
recognize benefits only if a reassessment indicates that it is more likely than
not that the benefits will be realized.
DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
In July 2000, the Company placed its commercial aircraft engine
portfolio up for competitive bid with plans to exit the aviation business. The
Company accounts for the aviation business as a discontinued operation. The
Company recorded a provision for losses on the disposal of discontinued assets
of $4,071,000 in the year ended May 31, 2000, relative to the disposal of CIS
Air assets, including $2,679,000 representing estimated losses on sale of
equipment, and other revenues and charges related to the discontinuance of the
business unit.
During the year ended May 31, 2001, in the opinion of management,
there was further price erosion in the aviation industry relating to assets
carried by CIS Air, and management recorded an additional provision for costs
and expenses relative to the disposal of CIS Air's assets in the amount of $2.3
million, which includes an inventory valuation allowance of $735,276 and other
revenue and charges related to the discontinuance of the business unit. As a
result of the settlement of legal proceedings against Eastwind Airlines and UM
Holding Inc. (the "Eastwind settlement"), a gain of $3.0 million was recorded by
CIS Air which, when offset by the $2.3 million charge for costs as expenses,
resulted in a gain of $743,000 on the disposal of discontinued assets. This gain
is attributable to activities by CIS Air in connection with its leasing of
engines and aircraft and is accordingly shown in the discontinued operations
section of CIS Air's financial statements.
As of May, 2002, the majority of the asset and recorded liabilities
relating to the Air Group Business have been sold or settled. Therefore, any
remaining assets or liabilities have not been accounted for as discontinued
operations.
A summary of the results of operations of the discontinued CIS Air
business unit follows (in thousands):

EQUIPMENT LEASING BUSINESS
In August 1999, the Company's subsidiary had sold a substantial
portion of its remaining lease portfolio and ceased entering into new equipment
leases. The Company has outsourced the administration of its remaining lease
portfolio, the termination dates of which exceed one year. In October 2000, the
Company sold all but one of the remaining equipment leases to the administrator.
In May 2002, the remaining equipment lease was sold to the administrator for an
immaterial amount.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Net cash provided by operations for the year ended May 31, 2002 was
$348,000 as compared to net cash used in operations of $2.2 million for the year
ended May 31, 2001 and $5.6 million for the year ended May 31, 2000; net cash
used in continuing operations for the year ended May 31, 2002 was $3.4 million
as compared to $2.9 million for the year ended May 31, 2001 and $3.4 million for
the year ended May 31, 2000. Net cash provided by discontinued operations for
the year ended May 31, 2002 was $3.8 million, as compared to net cash provided
by discontinued operations for the year ended May 31, 2001 of $717,000 and net
cash used in discontinued operations for the year ended May 31, 2000 of $2.2
million. For the year ended May 31, 2002, cash provided by discontinued
operations was primarily due to the transfer of the discontinued operations
assets to current operations. During the year ended May 31, 2001, the Company
received proceeds, net of legal and other costs, of $3.0 million from the
settlement of the Eastwind claim.
Net cash used in investing activities for the year ended May 31, 2002
was $6,000 compared to net cash provided by investing activities of $1.2 million
for the year ended May 31, 2001 and $3.8 million for the year ended May 31,
2000. The Company's sale of equipment generated no proceeds in the year ended
May 31, 2002 as compared to $634,000 for the year ended May 31, 2001 and $4.7
million for the year ended May 31, 2000. The Company's investment in mortgage
participation notes generated $1,000 in proceeds during the year ended May 31,
2002, as compared to $417,000 in proceeds during the year ended May 31, 2001 and
disbursements of $336,000 from mortgage participation notes for the year ended
May 31, 2000. In future periods cash flows from investing activities will depend
on cash collections of the mortgage participation notes and other investments.
The Company does not expect significant proceeds from equipment sales in future
periods.
Net cash used in financing activities for the year ended May 31, 2002
was $501,000, compared to $857,000 for the year ended May 31, 2001 and $447,000
for the year ended May 31, 2000. The decrease in cash used in fiscal 2002 was
due to the November 20, 2000 transaction when the Company completed a repurchase
of 607,158 shares of outstanding common stock from The Chase Manhattan Bank and
its wholly owned subsidiaries. The reacquired shares represented 9.30% of the
6,527,344 shares then outstanding. The shares were purchased at $ .9882 per
share, which was less than the market price.
Cash used for financing activities for the year ended May 31, 2002
was primarily due to the December 26, 2001 transaction when the Company
completed a repurchase of 100,800 shares of outstanding common stock from Mark
Jaindl. On that same date, the Company completed a repurchase of 592,534 shares
of common stock from Frederick J. Jaindl, the father of Mark Jaindl (together
the "Jaindl Shares"). The reacquired shares represented approximately 12% of the
issued and outstanding common stock of the Company. The shares were purchased
for a total of $475,000 or $.685 per share, which was greater than the market
price. In connection with the purchase of the Jaindl Shares, Mark and Frederick
Jaindl were granted a 10% passive carried interest in T1Xpert which may result
in additional amounts paid to the Jaindls if the Company makes cash
distributions to shareholders in excess of $2,525,000. The Jaindls have agreed
not to purchase any more shares of the Company. The Company and the Jaindls have
executed mutual releases. The repurchase reduced the number of outstanding
shares from 5,859,486 to 5,166,152.
As of May 31, 2002, the Company had $1.4 million in cash and cash
equivalents, as compared to $1.5 million at May 31, 2001 and $3.4 million at May
31, 2000. The Company established the CIS Air Loan Facility with a financing
institution to provide lease and inventory financing for aircraft engines for
its operating subsidiary CIS Air, in the amount of $10,000,000. The facility had
a three-year term that expired in December 2000 and permitted borrowing equal to
a percentage of the appraised value of the aircraft engines financed. The CIS
Air Loan Facility bears interest at prime plus 1/4%. The facility was not
renewed, but repayment had been extended beyond the original expiration date.
Substantially all of the assets of CIS Air were pledged as collateral for the
loan. At May 31, 2001, $765,542 of this facility was being utilized and was paid
off in June 2001.
- 13 -
As of May 31, 2002, approximately 1,936,000 shares had been
repurchased by the Company at an aggregate cost of approximately $2,061,000.
On August 26, 2002, the Board of Directors authorized the expenditure
of an additional $100,000 for the repurchase of its common stock.
The Company believes it has sufficient cash on hand to meet current
anticipated administrative needs until various claims against the Company can be
resolved. There can be no assurance that the Company's estimate as to the
validity and valuation of the claims against the Company is accurate, in which
case the Company may be unable to meet claims against it. This may result in the
Company needing to sell off assets at distressed prices or liens filed against
the Company also resulting in distressed asset sales or the Company seeking
bankruptcy protection. Any such distressed asset sales may further diminish the
Company's ability to meet its obligations.
The Company does not have sufficient funds on hand to develop its
T1Xpert products without the aid of a strategic alternative that will bring
necessary funding to complete product development and marketing. Such strategic
alternative may severely dilute the Company's interest in T1Xpert.
The Company does not anticipate entering into financing arrangements
with financial institutions, involving collateralizing and/or leveraging the
Company's assets.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB
Statements Nos. 141 and 142 (SFAS 141 and SFAS 142), "Business Combinations" and
"Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." SFAS 141 replaces Accounting Principles
Board Opinion No. 16 (APB 16), "Business Combination," and eliminates
pooling-of-interests accounting prospectively. It also provides guidance on
purchase accounting related to the recognition of intangible assets and
accounting for negative goodwill. SFAS 141 changes the accounting for goodwill
from an amortization method to an impairment-only approach. Under SFAS 142,
goodwill will be tested annually and whenever events or circumstances occur
indicating that goodwill might be impaired. SFAS 141 and SFAS 142 are effective
for all business combinations completed after June 30, 2001. Upon adoption of
SFAS 142, amortization of goodwill recorded for business combinations
consummated prior to July 1, 2001 will cease, and intangible assets acquired
prior to July 1, 2001 that do not meet the criteria for recognition under SFAS
141 will be reclassified to goodwill. Companies are required to adopt SFAS 142
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. In connection with the
adoption of SFAS 142, companies will be required to perform a transitional
goodwill impairment assessment. The Company believes that the adoption of SFAS
No. 142 beginning on January 1, 2002 will have no effect on the Company's
financial position and results of operations.
In October 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." SFAS No. 144 supersedes SFAS No.
121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived
Assets to Be Disposed of" and amends APB Opinion No. 30, "Reporting Results of
Operations-Reporting the Effects of Disposed of a Segment of a Business." This
statement develops one accounting model (based on the model in SFAS No. 121) for
long-lived assets that are disposed of by sale, as well as addresses the
principal implementation issues. SFAS No. 144 also expands the scope of
discontinued operations and changes the disclosure requirement for discontinued
operations. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2001. The Company does not expect this standard to have a material
impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations
or cash flows.
The FASB recently issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs
Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities." SFAS No. 146 addresses the
recognition, measurement, and reporting of costs that are associated with exit
and disposal activities, including costs related to terminating a contract that
is not a capital lease, costs to consolidate facilities or relocate employees,
and termination benefits provided to employees that are involuntarily terminated
under the terms of a one-time benefit arrangement that is not an ongoing benefit
arrangement or an individual deferred-compensation contract. SFAS No. 146
supersedes Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 94-3, "Liability
Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to exit an
Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)" and requires
liabilities associated with exit and disposal activities to be recognized when
the liability is incurred. SFAS No. 146 is effective for exit or disposal
activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Continental Information Systems Corporation:
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements listed in the accompanying
index on page 16 present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated
financial position of Continental Information Systems Corporation and its
subsidiaries (the "Company") at May 31, 2002, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for the year ended May 31, 2002 in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule listed in the
accompanying index presents fairly, in all material respects, the information
set forth therein when read in conjunction with the related consolidated
financial statements. These financial statements and the financial statement
schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management; our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial statement
schedule based on our audit. We conducted our audit of these statements in
accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America, which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the
financial statements, on December 27, 2001, the Company ceased operations and
ceased additional funding of T1Xpert. The Company is now considering various
strategic alternatives without the use of additional Company funds to continue
T1Xpert's product development. There is currently no demonstrated market for
this product and the Company does not have any contracted clients which raises
substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's
plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of
this uncertainty.

operations and their cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended
May 31, 2001 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America. In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement
schedule listed in the accompanying index presents fairly, in all material
respects, the information set forth therein for the two years ended May 31, 2001
when read in conjunction with the related consolidated financial statements.
These financial statements and the financial statement schedule are the
responsibility of the Company's management; our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements and financial statement schedule based on
our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with
auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the
financial statements, the Company is in the initial stages of developing its
securities processing software business, the product, T1Xpert, has not yet been
released or tested for functionality. There is currently no demonstrated market
for this product and the Company does not have any contracted clients which

financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the
outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
------------------------------------------
Nature of Operations
--------------------
Continental Information Systems Corporation is a New York Corporation
that was organized in 1968. Together with its subsidiaries (the "Company") it
was a specialized financial services company that engaged in the leasing, sales
and management of commercial aircraft and engines, among other assets, and was
also engaged in other financing activities, including commercial real estate
financing. In August 1999, the Company ceased entering into new equipment leases
and sold a substantial portion of its remaining lease portfolio. Since then, the
Company has disposed of the balance of its remaining lease portfolio. In July
2000 the Company's subsidiary, CIS Air Corporation, exited the aviation
business.
On August 8, 1999, the Company changed its focus to the development
and commercialization of a Web-enabled electronic securities processing software
platform which would use proprietary technology and adapt to changes in the
securities industry including operational changes related to increased volume,
the ability to effect trades through the Internet, Electronic Crossing Networks,
decimalization, expanded trading hours, various rule changes and the shift from
settling trades in three days to settling trades in one day. This latter shift
is commonly referred to as "T+1." The subsidiary that was formed to engage in
this line of business is T1Xpert Corp. ("T1Xpert").
T1Xpert had been developing a suite of middle and back office
brokerage products and solutions. The products and solutions were designed to
serve as a software platform for risk reduction for the next generation of real
time systems and in preparation for T+1. The Company's product development
strategy was to develop T1Xpert incrementally, with a series of independent
products that, in total, would constitute a full real-time straight through
transaction processing, balancing, and risk-management system. Each product was
designed to build on the functions and infrastructure of the previous products.
Under funding approved by the Board of Directors, T1Xpert has expended
approximately $6.2 million from its inception in August 1999 through May 31,
2002.
The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 against the United States
of America had a negative effect on the U.S. securities industry and T1Xpert.
T1Xpert had begun work on a software development project for a global investment
bank at the bank's premises (where T1Xpert maintained a satellite office)
located in the immediate vicinity of the World Trade Center prior to September
11, 2001. This project was canceled as a result of the events of September 11,
2001. In addition, due to security and safety measures taken by federal, state
and city authorities in lower Manhattan where the Company's offices were located
at that time, T1Xpert had to suspend all software development work for
approximately two weeks while still having to meet its payroll obligations.
During this two-week period, communication with T1Xpert's offices was severely
compromised. September 11, 2001 resulted in many companies delaying their
timetable for implementation of T+1. At the same time, the ability of the
Company to obtain necessary financing during the economic environment
post-September 11, 2001 has been greatly hampered.
To conserve cash, on September 24, 2001, 9 employees of T1Xpert were
furloughed. On December 27, 2001, the remaining 10 employees were furloughed. On
June 20, 2002 the CEO of the Company resigned. Under a consulting agreement
entered into on that same date, he continues to provide consulting services to
the Company as it seeks strategic alternatives for T1Xpert.
Consolidation
-------------
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of Continental Information Systems Corporation and its wholly owned
subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
May 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cash and Cash Equivalents
-------------------------
Cash and cash equivalents include checking and money market accounts
and short term commercial paper with financial institutions having original
maturities of 90 days or less.
Restricted Cash
---------------
Restricted cash comprised funds on deposit for two letters of credit
hypothecated to one United States bank and one Israeli bank which guarantee a
loan made to an unrelated high technology company. In connection with this loan
guarantee, the Company received warrants to purchase stock in the high
technology company. The Company has valued these warrants at zero as the high
technology company has ceased operations. During the year ended May 31, 2001,
the Company provided a liability against the full value of the restricted cash.
In July 2001, the letters of credit were called and the restricted cash was used
to satisfy such demand. Accordingly, at May 31, 2001, the Company recorded a
loss in the amount of such guarantee payments.
Reclassification
----------------
In years prior to May 31, 2002, the Company had active leases and
believed that an unclassified balance sheet more appropriately reflected its
leasing activities. In light of the Company's cessation of leasing operations,
the Company believes a classified balance sheet reflects its current status.
Accordingly, the consolidated balance sheet as of May 31, 2002 has been prepared
in a classified format and the prior year's balance sheet has been presented in
a classified format for comparability.
Concentration of Credit Risk
----------------------------
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to credit
risk consist principally of cash with financial institutions and notes
receivable. The Company maintains cash deposits with major banks and financial
institutions which may exceed federally insured limits. The Company periodically
assesses the financial condition of the institutions and believes the risk of
any loss is minimal. At May 31, 2002, cash in excess of FDIC limits amounted to
approximately $1.2 million.
Of the Company's notes receivable balance of $1.32 million, $1.12
million is owed by one customer in the aviation business. Thus, the Company is
directly affected by the financial condition of this company and the airline
industry in general. The credit risk associated with this customer is somewhat
mitigated by the note being collateralized; however, a substantial portion of
such collateral is outside the United States, thereby creating potential
difficulties of recovery of collateral in case of default. The value of the
collateral is estimated to be below the carrying value of the note.
Investment in Mortgage Participation Notes
------------------------------------------
Investment in mortgage participation notes represents investments in
high-yield, short-term commercial real estate transactions and are carried at
the lower of cost or market. Interest income on the notes is recorded monthly
using the weighted average estimated yields on these investments.
Lease Accounting Policies
-------------------------
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 13 requires that a
lessor account for each lease by the direct financing method, sales-type method
or operating method. At May 31, 2002, the Company had no direct financing and
operating leases. At May 31, 2001, the Company's such leases were considered
immaterial. At the end of the lease term, the recorded residual value of
equipment under direct financing leases is reclassified to rental equipment and
is depreciated over its estimated remaining useful life if the related asset is
released.

AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
May 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Unearned income is amortized to lease income by the interest method
using a constant periodic rate over the lease term.
Rental equipment consists of equipment under operating leases. Rental
equipment is depreciated on a straight-line basis to their estimated residual
values over the remaining useful lives of such equipment. Operating lease
revenues consist of the contractual lease payments which are recognized on a
straight-line basis over the lease term. Costs associated with operating leases
principally consist of depreciation of the equipment.
The Company makes adjustments to the carrying value of leased assets,
if necessary, when market conditions have resulted in values that are below net
book value. At the time assets are disposed of, cost and accumulated
depreciation as to each investment are removed from the accounts and the
difference, net of proceeds, is recognized as a gain or loss.
Deferred Commissions and Initial Direct Costs
---------------------------------------------
Commissions and other initial direct costs related to lease
transactions are capitalized as a component of the corresponding investment in
direct financing leases or rental equipment and amortized over the estimated
average lease term as an adjustment of yield. Costs relating to direct financing
leases were amortized using the interest method and costs relating to operating
lease equipment are amortized using the straight-line method.
Write Downs
-----------
At May 31, 2001, the Company wrote off a note receivable from a
wireless technology company of approximately $426,000 due to the investee's
significant cash flow deficiencies.
Property, Plant and Equipment
-----------------------------
Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost and are being
depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of
such assets. Leasehold improvements were depreciated over three to seven years
being the lesser of the lease term or useful life of the asset. Computer
equipment and software is depreciated over three to five years and furniture,
fixtures and office equipment over seven years and aircraft engines over seven
years from the date of purchase.
Income Taxes
------------
The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability
method required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 ("SFAS
109"), Accounting for Income Taxes. SFAS 109 requires the recording of deferred
tax assets and liabilities for the future tax effects of temporary differences
between the bases of all assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes
and tax purposes. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce
deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The Company
periodically reviews the adequacy of the valuation allowance and will recognize
benefits only if reassessment indicates that it is more likely than not that the
benefits will be realized. A valuation allowance for the full amount of deferred
tax assets was provided for in income tax expense in 2002, 2001 and 2000.
Net Income (Loss) Per Share
---------------------------
Earnings per share is calculated in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 ("SFAS 128"), Earnings Per Share, which
specifies standards for computing and disclosing net income (loss) per share.
Basic and diluted net loss per share for the fiscal years ended May 31, 2002,
2001 and 2000, was computed based on the weighted average number of shares of
common stock outstanding during the periods. As of May 31, 2002, the Company

had issued and outstanding options to purchase 158,283 shares of common stock
(see Note 10). The effect of these options is antidilutive and was not included
in the computation of diluted net income (loss) per share.
Estimates
---------
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially
from those estimates.
Reclassifications
-----------------
The financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the
current period presentation.
Research and Development Expenditures
-------------------------------------
Research and development expenditures in connection with the
development of the Internet-enabled electronic securities processing software
platform are expensed as incurred. When the Company enters a production
environment and technological feasibility is achieved, future capital costs will
be capitalized in accordance with FASB Statement No. 86, "Accounting for the
Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed."
2. T1Xpert Corp.
-------------
In August 1999, the Company changed its focus to the development and
commercialization of a Web-enabled electronic securities processing software
platform using proprietary technology. This technology was intended to adapt to
changes in the securities industry, including operational changes related to
increased volume, the ability to effect trades through the Internet, Electronic
Crossing Networks, decimalization, expanded trading hours, various rule changes
and the shift from settling trades in three days to settling trades in one day.
This latter shift is commonly referred to as "T+1." The subsidiary that was
formed to engage in this line of business is T1Xpert Corp. ("T1Xpert").
T1Xpert had begun developing a suite of middle and back office
brokerage products and solutions. The products and solutions were designed to
serve as a software platform for risk reduction for the next generation of real
time systems and in preparation for T+1. The Company's product development
strategy was to develop T1Xpert incrementally, with a series of independent
products that, in total, would constitute a full real-time straight through
transaction processing, balancing, and risk-management system. Each product was
designed to build on the functions and infrastructure of the previous products.
T1Xpert expended approximately $6.2 million from its inception in August 1999
through May 31, 2002.
Prior to September 11, 2001, T1Xpert had begun work on a software
development project for a global investment bank at the bank's premises (where
T1Xpert maintained a satellite office) located in the immediate vicinity of the
World Trade Center. This project was canceled as a result of the terrorist
attacks of September 11, 2001 against the United States of America which had a
negative effect on the U.S. securities industry and T1Xpert. In addition, due to
security and safety measures taken by federal, state and city authorities in
lower Manhattan, where the Company's offices were located at that time, T1Xpert
had to suspend all software development work for approximately two weeks. During
this two-week period, communication with T1Xpert's offices was severely
compromised.

To conserve cash, on September 24, 2001, 9 employees of T1Xpert were
furloughed. The Company made claims under its existing policies of insurance for
compensation to continue operations. The Company believed it had sufficient
coverage to allow it to continue development and installation under its existing
contract had it received sufficient insurance proceeds. Despite intensive
efforts to collect under its policies the insurance companies made no payments.
On December 27, 2001, the Company ceased active operations and
additional funding of product development at T1Xpert for several reasons. The
Company's contract with the global investment bank was delayed and subsequently
cancelled due to the events of September 11th. Despite this, T1Xpert intended to
continue product development and seek a replacement investment banking customer.
However, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing during the
economic environment post-September 11, 2001 was greatly hampered. The Company
made claims under its existing policies of insurance for compensation in order
to continue operations. The Company believed it had sufficient coverage to allow
it to continue development and installation under its existing contract and
sufficient funding to locate a substitute investment banking customer to replace
the cancelled contract had it received sufficient insurance proceeds. Efforts to
date to collect under the Company's insurance policies have been unsuccessful.
The Company continues to pursue its claims under its insurance policies and has
filed a lawsuit against its insurer. No assurance can be given that such efforts
will be successful.
On December 27, 2001, the remaining 10 employees were furloughed. On
June 20, 2002 the CEO of the Company resigned. Under a consulting agreement
entered into on that same date he continues to provide consulting services to
the Company as it seeks strategic alternatives for T1Xpert.
Risks and Uncertainties
-----------------------
On December 27, 2001, the Company was forced to suspend active
operations and ceased additional funding of T1Xpert. The Company is now
considering various strategic alternatives without the use of additional Company
funds to continue T1Xpert's product development. These alternatives include the
sale of T1Xpert or finding a strategic partner to undertake commercialization of
T1Xpert's products. Although the product still needs further development, the
original development team has been disbanded, thus there is no client currently
scheduled to use the product. Therefore, a sale would likely be of limited
value. Potential strategic partners would ideally need to have the ability to
continue development and would most likely require that a client be found for
the product before being willing to invest. To date T1Xpert has not found a
client willing to be a beta client on terms favorable to T1Xpert. T1Xpert is
further hampered in its marketing efforts as a result of its cessation of
activities and lack of marketing personnel. If T1Xpert is successful in finding
a strategic partner, it will likely result in a substantial dilution of the
Company's interest in T1Xpert. While the Company has been pursuing these
alternatives, to date it has been unsuccessful. There can be no assurance that
the Company will be successful in any of its efforts, in which case no value is
likely to be realized from its T1Xpert subsidiary.
The Company is seeking other strategic opportunities going forward to
maximize shareholder value after the cessation of operations of T1Xpert. Such
opportunities may include, but are not limited to, a business combination with
another entity. Under the terms of any such opportunity, current shareholders
may suffer substantial dilution of their interests. There can also be no
assurance that the Company will be successful in its efforts to find such
strategic opportunities or, if it does, that any such new business combination
will be successful.

3. Discontinued Operations
-----------------------
On July 14, 2000, the Company announced that it was offering for sale
its commercial aircraft engine portfolio by competitive bid, that upon
completion of the sale it would exit the aviation business, and that it would
account for and report the Air Group Business as a discontinued operation. In
the quarter ended May 31, 2000, the Company wrote down CIS Air's assets by
$4,071,000, including $2,679,000 representing estimated losses on sale of
equipment, and other revenues and charges related to the discontinuance of the
business unit.
During the year ended May 31, 2001, in the opinion of management,
there was further price erosion in the aviation industry relating to assets
carried by CIS Air and management recorded an additional provision relative to
the disposal of CIS Air's assets in the amount of $2.2 million, which includes
an inventory valuation allowance of $735,276. As a result of the settlement of
legal proceedings against Eastwind Airlines and UM Holding Inc. (the "Eastwind
settlement"), a gain of $3.0 million was recorded by CIS Air. This gain is shown
in the discontinued operations section of the Company's financial statements.
As of May, 2002, the majority of the assets and liabilities relating
to the Air Group Business have been sold or settled.
The Company had a revolving loan agreement (the "CIS Air Loan
facility") with an institution to provide lease and inventory financing for
aircraft engines for CIS Air, in the amount of $10,000,000. The CIS Air Loan
facility had a three-year term and permitted borrowings equal to a percentage of
the appraised value of the aircraft engines financed. Substantially all of the
assets of CIS Air were pledged as collateral for the CIS Air Loan facility. At
May 31, 2001, $765,542 of the CIS Air Loan facility was being utilized. The CIS
Air Loan facility bore interest at prime plus .25% (7.25% and 9.75% at May 31,
2001 and 2000, respectively) and expired in December 2000. The Company arranged
for several extensions of the CIS Air Loan facility so as to allow sufficient
time for an orderly paydown. The Company paid interest related to the CIS Air
Loan facility of $199,516 and $619,000 in fiscal 2001 and 2000, respectively.
Proceeds of sale were used to permanently pay down the CIS Air Loan facility. On
June 21, 2001, the CIS Air Loan facility was completely repaid.
The Consolidated Balance Sheet and Statements of Operations for all
periods presented have been reclassified to report the results of discontinued
operations separately from those of continuing operations. The income (loss)
from and net assets of discontinued operations reflected on the accompanying
Consolidated Financial Statements consist of the following (in thousands):

5. Real Estate Held for Sale
-------------------------
On July 3, 1997, the Company announced that it had entered into a
Joint Investment Agreement with Emmes Investment Management Co. LLC to provide
up to $8 million in high-yield, short-term financing for commercial real estate
transactions. At May 31, 2002, the Company's sole remaining investment in such
transactions was approximately $336,585, net of a reserve for loss on investment
of $153,149. During the year ended May 31, 2001, the underlying property was
foreclosed and is therefore included in real estate held for sale on the
accompanying balance sheet.

9. Common Stock
------------
Each share of common stock entitles the holder to one vote on all
matters submitted to a vote of shareholders. The Company does not anticipate the
payment of dividends on the common stock for the foreseeable future.
On December 26, 2001 the Company completed a repurchase of 100,800
shares of outstanding common stock from Mark W. Jaindl. On that same date, the
Company completed a repurchase of 592,534 shares of common stock from Frederick
J. Jaindl, the father of Mark W. Jaindl (together the "Jaindl Shares"). The
reacquired shares represented approximately 12% of the issued and outstanding
common stock of the Company. The shares were purchased for a total of $475,000
or $.685 per share, which was greater than the market price. In connection with
the purchase of the Jaindl Shares, Mark and Frederick Jaindl were granted a 10%
passive carried interest in T1Xpert which may result in additional compensation
to the Jaindls if the Company makes cash distributions to shareholders in excess
of $2,525,000. The Jaindls have agreed not to purchase any more shares of the
Company. The Company and the Jaindls have executed mutual releases.
On November 20, 2000, the Company completed a repurchase of 607,158
shares of outstanding common stock from The Chase Manhattan Bank and its wholly
owned subsidiaries. The reacquired shares represented 9.30% of the 6,527,344
shares outstanding. The shares were purchased at $ .9882 per share, which was
less than the market price.

The repurchase was approved by the Company's Board of Directors at a
regularly scheduled meeting held on the same date.
Pursuant to an odd lot repurchase program established by the Company
in prior years, the Company repurchased from time to time additional shares of
its common stock up to a balance of $500,000 remaining after the odd lot
program. In February 1999, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had
authorized the expenditure of an additional $500,000 for the repurchase of its
common stock. As of May 31, 2002, approximately 1,936,000 shares (including the
Chase and Jaindl shares) had been repurchased by the Company at an aggregate
cost of approximately $2,061,000. Subject to approval from the Board of
Directors, the Company may repurchase the additional shares at prevailing prices
in the open market or in negotiated or other transactions. The Company will hold
all repurchased shares of common stock in its treasury.
10. Stock Option Plan
-----------------
In 1995, the Board of Directors adopted and the stockholders approved
the Continental Information Systems Corporation 1995 Stock Compensation Plan
(the "1995 Plan"). The 1995 Plan provides for the issuance of options covering
up to 1,000,000 shares of common stock and stock grants of up to 500,000 shares
of common stock to non-employee directors of the Company and, at the discretion
of the Compensation Committee or the Board of Directors, employees of and
independent contractors and consultants to the Company. Options granted to
non-employee directors of the Company in any year become exercisable at the next
annual stockholders' meeting while those granted to employees of and independent
contractors and consultants to the Company are subject to vesting periods
determined by the Compensation Committee or the Board of Directors. Options
granted to employees in fiscal 1999 become exercisable in installments of 33-1/3
percent at the grant date and at each subsequent fiscal year end except for
options granted to two executive officers which become fully exercisable one
year from the grant date. The Company applies APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting
for Stock Issued to Employees," and related interpretations in accounting for
the 1995 Plan. Accordingly, no compensation cost has been charged against income
for the stock option plan. Had compensation cost for the 1995 Plan been
determined based on the fair value at the grant dates for awards under the Plan,
consistent with the requirements of FASB Statement No. 123, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation," the Company's net income (loss) and net income (loss)
per share would have reflected the pro forma amounts indicated below:

Basic and diluted
net loss per share - as reported $ (.72) $ (.88) $(1.21)
- pro forma $ (.72) $ (.89) $(1.22)
The fair value of each stock option grant has been estimated on the
date of each grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the
following weighted average assumptions:

Risk-free interest rate -% 5.4% 5.4%
Expected life (months) - 48 60
Expected volatility -% 68% 58%
Expected dividend yield - - -
The weighted-average grant date fair values of options granted during
fiscal 2001 and 2000 were $.58 and $.61 per share, respectively. There were no
options granted in fiscal 2002.

In 2000, the Board of Directors of T1Xpert adopted the T1Xpert Corp.
Stock Compensation Plan (the "T1X 2000 Plan"). The T1X 2000 Plan provides for
the issuance of stock options covering up to 2,000,000 shares of common stock to
employees and advisory board members of T1Xpert. Options granted typically do
not become exercisable until at least one year from the date of commencement of
employment and vest ratably over periods of time as provided at the discretion

Board of T1Xpert. Option grants expire ten years from date of grant, or upon
termination of the employee's employment with T1Xpert.
As of May 31, 2002 stock option grants representing 1,642,500 shares
had been issued to employees at an option price of $0.0675 per share under the
T1X 2000 Plan. During the year ended May 31, 2002, 1,142,500 options were
forfeited/ expired with a weighted average exercise price of $0.0675 per share.
As of May 31, 2002 there were 500,000 options outstanding at an option price of
$0.0675. The T1X 2000 Plan is immaterial to the earnings of the Company.

The difference between the effective income tax rate and the

rate is primarily due to utilization of net operating losses, state and local
taxes and the change in the valuation allowance in 2000.

The income tax effect of the significant temporary differences and
carry-forwards which give rise to deferred tax assets (liabilities) are as
follows as of May 31 (in thousands):
2002 2001 2000
-------- -------- --------

Leased assets - 1,465 2,898
Valuation allowance (24,330) (22,218) (22,116)
-------- -------- --------
$ - $ - $ -
======== ======== ========
A full valuation allowance was provided for such deferred tax assets
since, in management's opinion, the realizability of such assets was uncertain
in light of the Company's actual operating results since reorganization. The
Company periodically reviews the adequacy of the valuation allowance and will
recognize benefits only if a reassessment indicates that it is more likely than
not that the benefits will be realized. As of May 31, 2002, the Company had net
operating loss carry-forwards for future taxable income in the amount of
approximately $57,381,000 which will expire from 2005 - 2021. Such net operating
capital loss carry forwards are subject to annual limitations as to use. Further
in the event of a change of control, as defined, the operating losses can be
substantially eliminated.
12. Employee Benefit Plans
----------------------
The Company maintains a defined contribution 401(k) plan covering
substantially all of its employees under which it is obligated to make matching
contributions at the rate of 50% of the first 6% of participant earnings
contributed to the plan and which provides for an annual discretionary
contribution based on participants' eligible compensation. Employees generally
became eligible to participate in the plan after the completion of one full year
of employment. Matching and discretionary contributions made by the Company vest
over a five-year period. Matching Company contributions to the plan for the
fiscal years ended May 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, were $18,500, $26,000 and
$26,000, respectively. The Company made no discretionary contribution.
13. Commitments and Contingencies
-----------------------------
Rental Commitments
------------------
On February 26, 2002, the Company entered into a lease termination
agreement with its landlord for the remaining three years of its lease rental
obligations. This agreement released the Company from its lease obligation on
the premises. Such obligation was estimated to be $501,000 of base rent plus
additional utilities and operating expenses. In connection with this agreement,
the Company incurred a loss on disposal of fixed assets in the amount of
$48,000, incurred two months rental expense and incurred estimated moving costs
of approximately $23,000. The Company is temporarily leasing space on a month to
month basis from Oscar Gruss & Son Incorporated ("OGSI"), a shareholder of the
Company as sublessee under OGSI's lease agreement. OGSI was able to provide a
build out office for immediate occupancy which enabled the Company to be in a
position to surrender its old office premises, resulting in substantial savings
while allowing it to move its operations and store its T1Xpert technology
without significant disruption. The Company is subject to conditions existing
under OGSI's lease, including the possibility that should OGSI terminate its
lease, the Company would be forced to find new office space. In the opinion of
management, the lease terms with OGSI are more favorable than exist in the open
marketplace.

Legal Proceedings
On March 3, 2000, Dallas AeroSpace, Inc. ("Dallas") of Texas filed
suit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York
against CIS Air for breach of contract and other causes of action in connection
with the sale of an engine to Dallas in August 1997. Dallas is seeking damages
for the purchase price of the engine in the amount of $1,150,000 plus punitive
damages of $2,300,000, or in the alternative an order requiring CIS Air to
repurchase the engine from Dallas. CIS Air has denied any liability to Dallas on
any of the causes of action, and has asserted its defenses. Extensive discovery
has been completed and the case is ready for trial. In December 2001, CIS Air
filed a motion for summary judgment seeking dismissal of all claims. No decision
on this motion has yet been made.
On April 24, 2000 CIS Air filed suit in the United States District
Court for the Northern District of New York against American Air Ventures, Inc.
("American Air"), a Florida corporation. The suit seeks reimbursement in
connection with losses incurred in joint venture agreements between the parties
for the purchase and sale of engines. The suit further seeks indemnification
from American Air should CIS Air be found liable to Dallas Aerospace, because
CIS Air purchased the engine sold to Dallas AeroSpace from American Air. The
parties settled their lawsuit under the joint venture agreement, but left open
all issues related to the Dallas matter.
On March 7, 2000 CIS Air filed suit against Express One
International, Inc. ("Express One"), a Delaware corporation, in the Supreme
Court, State of New York, County of New York. The suit seeks damages of
approximately $118,000 in unpaid rent and repair charges. Express One filed for
bankruptcy in March 2002 shortly after CIS filed its motion for summary
judgment. An automatic stay in connection with the bankruptcy proceeding
prevents further action at this time. CIS Air intends to file a claim in the
bankruptcy court action against Express One.
In July 2001 CIS Air filed suit in State Court of Florida, Broward
County against Aviation Systems International ("ASI") and the TIMCO division of
Aviation Sales Company relating to damage sustained by a CIS Air aircraft. The
aircraft was parked at TIMCO's maintenance facility when it was struck and
severely damaged by two other aircraft owned by ASI. CIS Air has been reimbursed
for a portion of the damages by its insurance carrier, and is seeking to recover
the $500,000 deductible and other unpaid costs from TIMCO and ASI. The suit is
in the discovery stage of litigation.
The Bankruptcy Trustee in the bankruptcy case of Sky Trek
International, a former lessee of aircraft engines of CIS Air, has filed a claim
against CIS Air seeking to obtain the return of $116,000 in security deposits on
two aircraft engines that were returned to CIS Air prior to the lease
expirations. CIS Air is opposing this demand and has asserted counterclaims in
excess of the amount of the security deposit.
On June 3, 2002 the Company commenced an action in the Southern
District of New York against its insurer, Federal Insurance Company, seeking
reimbursement for losses under its insurance policy associated with the
September 11, 2001 terrorist attack in downtown Manhattan. The case is in its
early stages.
The Company commenced an action against a former lessee of equipment
and two guarantors for non-payment of lease payments owed. The Company obtained
a judgment and is pursuing recovery against one of the guarantors. The second
guarantor has filed for bankruptcy and there is no assurance of the amount, if
any, that will be recovered from the non-bankrupt guarantor.

Tax Claims
Various State and City Taxing jurisdictions have from time to time
asserted tax claims against the Company. In June 2002 substantial additional
claims were asserted against the Company by a taxing jurisdiction. The Company
is vigorously defending these claims, but there can be no assurance that the
Company will prevail. The Company is also under examination by other taxing
jurisdictions the results of which cannot be predicted at this time. The
Company, due to the wind down of its operating businesses, has been filing final
returns in various tax jurisdictions as well as withdrawing from doing business
in such states. This may precipitate examinations of the Company's tax
liabilities in such jurisdictions. While the Company on a consolidated basis may
have been unprofitable during recent years, certain subsidiaries of the Company
may have been profitable. Further, certain taxes are imposed without regard to
income or profitability. The Company is also undergoing certain examinations of
its returns for which no determination or claim has yet to be asserted.
14. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
-----------------------------------
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair
value of each class of financial instruments:
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Notes Receivable and Investment in Mortgage
Participation Notes - The carrying values approximate fair values
because of the short maturity of those instruments.
Discounted Lease Rental Borrowings - The fair value of discounted
lease rental borrowings is based on the borrowing rates currently
available to the Company for loans with similar terms and average
maturities. At May 31, 2000, the fair value of such borrowings
approximate its carrying amounts.
15. Segment Financial Data
----------------------
The Company adopted SFAS No. 131, Disclosure About Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information, as required, in fiscal 2000. The Company's
operating subsidiaries were classified into two principal operating segments on
the basis of the Company's strategic direction and assessment procedures within
the operating subsidiaries, which require different investment and marketing
strategies.
EQUIPMENT LEASING BUSINESS: The Company's Equipment Leasing Business,
which was conducted through its operating subsidiary CIS Corporation, a New York
Corporation ("CIS"), leased a wide range of equipment, including computers,
printers and telecommunications equipment. The Company participated in the
leasing market principally by originating new leases and financing other
equipment brokers. In August 1999, the Company announced CIS would no longer
enter into new equipment leases. In October 2000, the Company sold off all but
one remaining equipment lease.
SECURITIES PROCESSING SOFTWARE BUSINESS: The product is being
designed as an electronic securities processing software platform which would
use proprietary technology and which would be adapted to changes in the
financial market place. On December 27, 2001, the Company ceased daily
operations and ceased additional funding of T1Xpert. The Company is now
considering various strategic alternatives without the use of additional Company
funds to continue T1Xpert's product development.
