MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the
Company's Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in this
Annual Report. Except for the historical information contained herein, the
following discussion and analysis may contain forward-looking statements that
involve risks and uncertainties, such as statements of the Company's plans,
objectives, expectations and intentions. The cautionary statement made in Item 1
of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K should be read as being applicable
to all related forward-looking statements wherever they appear in this
discussion and analysis. The Company's results could differ materially from
those implied by the following discussion and analysis. Factors that could cause
or contribute to such differences include those discussed in Item 1 of the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K under the caption "Cautionary Statement and
Risk Factors," as well as other factors discussed elsewhere herein.

Overview

Celeris Corporation is a provider of specialty clinical research and information
technology services that expedite and streamline the clinical trial and
regulatory submission process for pharmaceutical, medical device and
biotechnology manufacturers.

On June 10, 1998, the Company announced its intent to transition out of the
healthcare provider software market and focus its resources on its clinical
research services segment. On December 24, 1998, the Company completed the sale
of its healthcare provider software segment. As consideration for the sale, the
Company agreed to a purchase price of up to $2,000,000, contingent upon the
performance of the assets and the buyer's costs to perform prepaid support and
service obligations after the closing. Based on the performance of the assets
through September 30, 1999, the Company determined that the purchase
price would be fixed at $1.5 million, of which $200,000 and $700,000 was
received in 1998 and 1999, respectively, and $600,000 was received January 31,
2000. In addition, the Company agreed to reimburse the buyer for the performance
of prepaid support and service obligations on assigned contracts in the amount
of $500,000, which was completed June 30, 1999. The Company has retained certain
liabilities related to the software segment including certain amounts due under
customer contracts and other liabilities related to the disposal of the segment.
The financial position and results of operations of the healthcare provider
software segment are reported as discontinued operations and all prior period
amounts have been restated to reflect the discontinued operations.

Effective January 29, 1999, the Company changed its name from Summit Medical
Systems, Inc. to Celeris Corporation.

On July 26, 1999, the Company's Board of Directors approved a one-for-three
reverse split of its common stock, applicable to shareholders of record at the
close of trading on July 29, 1999. The reverse split was intended, in part, to
address compliance for continued listing of the Company's common stock with the
Nasdaq Stock Market criteria, which requires a minimum bid price of $1.00 per
share. Income (loss) per share, common stock outstanding and stock option data
included herein have been adjusted retroactively to give effect to the reverse
split.

Calculated on a post split basis, the Company had approximately 3.1 million
shares of common stock outstanding as of December 31, 1999.

As of December 31, 1999, the Company had a backlog of projects for clinical
studies management, clinical monitoring staffing and data management services
with an aggregate contract value of approximately $5.8 million. Potential


                                       7
<PAGE>   3

cancellation, delay or change in scope of projects may affect the value of the
Company's backlog.

The Company has experienced net losses for each of the past five years. Net
losses for the year ended December 31, 1999 were $2.11 million. The Company had
an accumulated deficit of $57.53 million as of December 31, 1999. The Company's
ability to increase revenue, and to achieve profitability and positive cash flow
will depend on a number of factors as summarized in Item 1 of the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K under the caption "Cautionary Statement and Risk
Factors."

Results of Operations
Year Ended December 31, 1999 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 1998

The Company incurred a net loss of $2.11 million, or $0.68 per diluted share,
for the year ended December 31, 1999 as compared to a net loss of $12.65
million, or $3.96 per diluted share, for the year earlier period. The 1999
results include a loss from continuing operations of $4.03 million, or $1.29 per
diluted share, and a gain from discontinued operations of $1.92 million, or
$0.61 per diluted share. The 1998 results include a loss from continuing
operations of $2.11 million, or $0.66 per diluted share, and a loss from
discontinued operations of $10.54 million, or $3.30 per diluted share.

Continuing operations. Revenue from continuing operations for the year ended
December 31, 1999 was $9.25 million compared to $5.78 million for the year
earlier period, an increase of 60.0%. This increase in revenue resulted
primarily from a higher volume of the new services introduced in 1998.

Cost of sales were $6.31 million for the 1999 period, or 68.2% of revenue,
compared to $4.03 million for the 1998 period, or 69.7% of revenue. This
decrease in cost of sales as a percentage of revenue is primarily the result of
increased utilization of client service personnel. Further improvement in cost
of sales as a percentage of revenue will be dependent upon keeping client
service personnel utilized as billable resources.

General and administrative expenses were $7.51 million, or 81.1% of revenue, for
the 1999 period compared to $5.07 million, or 87.6% of revenue, for the 1998
period. This decrease in general and administrative expenses as a percentage of
revenue is primarily due to a higher volume of business during 1999. Further
improvement in general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue
will be dependent upon higher volumes of business as the Company has in place
the infrastructure necessary to support expanded service offerings.

Interest income for the 1999 period was $537,000 compared to $1.20 million for
the 1998 period as the Company's cash and cash equivalents balance, including
restricted cash and short-term investments, decreased to $8.97 million at
December 31, 1999 from $15.22 million at December 31, 1998.

Discontinued operations. During the year ended December 31, 1999, the Company
recorded a gain on the disposal of discontinued operations of $1.92 million,
representing the receipt of $1.3 million related to the December 1998 sale of
the software business and a $615,000 decrease in estimated liabilities retained
after the sale. The Company incurred losses from the discontinued operations of
its healthcare provider software segment of $10.54 million for the 1998 period,
which included charges for disposal of discontinued operations of $5.35 million
recorded in the second quarter related to the decision to exit the healthcare
provider software market and $483,000 recorded in the fourth quarter related to
the sale of the assets of the software segment.


                                       8
<PAGE>   4

The loss from discontinued operations of $4.71 million in the 1998 period
represents results of operations of the discontinued business segment through
June 30, 1998. Losses for the period July 1, 1998 to December 24, 1998 (the date
the assets of the discontinued segment were sold) were accrued in conjunction
with the $5.35 million charge discussed above.

Year Ended December 31, 1998 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 1997

The Company incurred a net loss of $12.65 million, or $3.96 per diluted share,
for the year ended December 31, 1998 as compared to a net loss of $19.04
million, or $5.28 per diluted share, for the year earlier period. The 1998
results include a loss from continuing operations of $2.11 million, or $0.66 per
diluted share, and a loss from discontinued operations of $10.54 million, or
$3.30 per diluted share. The 1997 results include income from continuing
operations of $857,000 or $0.24 per diluted share, and a loss from discontinued
operations of $19.90 million, or $5.52 per diluted share.

Continuing operations. Revenue from continuing operations for the year ended
December 31, 1998 was $5.78 million compared to $5.10 million for the year
earlier period, an increase of 13.4%. This increase in revenue resulted
primarily from a higher volume of consulting services performed.

Cost of sales were $4.03 million for the 1998 period, or 69.7% of revenue,
compared to $3.42 million for the 1997 period, or 67.1% of revenue. The increase
in cost of sales as a percentage of revenue is primarily the result of the
addition of client service personnel related to the Company's expanded service
offerings throughout 1998.

General and administrative expenses were $5.07 million, or 87.6% of revenue, for
the 1998 period compared to $2.77 million, or 54.2% of revenue, for the 1997
period. This increase in general and administrative expenses as a percentage of
revenue is primarily due to the addition of salaries, benefits and other
overhead costs associated with the Company's expanded service offerings.

Interest income for the 1998 period was $1.20 million compared to $1.95 million
for the 1997 period as the Company's cash and cash equivalents balance,
including restricted cash and short-term investments, decreased to $15.22
million at December 31, 1998 from $28.0 million at December 31, 1997.

Discontinued operations. The Company incurred a loss from the discontinued
operations of its healthcare provider software segment of $10.54 million for the
1998 period compared to $19.90 million for the 1997 period. The 1997 period
included special charges of $10.05 million related to the Company's 1996 revenue
restatement and 1997 restructuring.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company's cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash and
short-term investments, totaled $8.97 million as of December 31, 1999, a
decrease of $6.25 million from December 31, 1998. This decrease was primarily
due to a) $4.12 million used in continuing operating activities, b) $1.12
million used in discontinued operations, c) $880,000 used for the purchase of
equipment and fixtures, principally computer and computer systems equipment, and
d) $130,000 used in transactions involving the Company's stock.

As of December 31, 1999, the Company had net working capital of $8.63 million,
compared to $11.19 million at December 31, 1998. This decrease resulted
primarily from net losses of $2.11 million incurred during the year ended
December 31, 1999. Management anticipates the Company will continue to
experience oper-


                                       9
<PAGE>   5

ating losses into 2000, and as a result, it believes working capital will
continue to decline.

As of December 31, 1999, the Company had $1.77 million in accounts receivable,
net of bad debt allowance, compared to $1.52 million as of December 31, 1998.
The Company believes its current allowance of $343,000 for bad debts is
adequate. The Company's days sales outstanding in accounts receivable was 62
days at December 31, 1999 and 88 days at December 31, 1998. Days sales
outstanding in accounts receivable may fluctuate in future periods as the
Company's mix of business continues to evolve.

The Company sold its healthcare provider software business effective December
24, 1998 and has collected $1.5 million in related proceeds. Of the $700,000 due
December 31, 1999, the Company had received $100,000 by the due date and
received the remainder on January 31, 2000. Also related to the sale of the
software business, the Company has retained certain liabilities of $1.20 million
as of December 31, 1999, including certain amounts due under customer contracts
and other liabilities related to the disposal of the segment.

The Company's Board of Directors has authorized a stock repurchase program under
which up to 666,667 shares of the Company's common stock may be repurchased.
From inception of the stock repurchase program in August 1997 through December
31, 1999, the Company has repurchased 439,867 shares of common stock for
approximately $3.05 million. As of December 31, 1999, there were 3,119,646
shares of the Company's common stock issued and outstanding.

As of December 31, 1999, the Company had approximately $545,000 subject to
withdrawal restrictions as a condition of certain lease agreements for office
space and equipment. The amount of cash restricted under the lease agreements
decreases periodically over the term of the leases, which extend to December
2002.

The Company believes that continued expenditure of funds will be necessary to
support its future operations, and that cash and cash equivalents, including
restricted cash and short-term investments, of $8.97 million on hand at December
31, 1999 will be sufficient to fund its operations, capital requirements, and
expansion goals through 2000. However, there can be no assurances that the
Company will generate sufficient revenue, or adequately control costs, to
achieve profitability or positive cash flow for periods into and beyond 2000. If
the Company cannot achieve profitability or positive cash flow, or if its
contingencies result in material expenditures, the Company may require
additional external financing in the future. There can be no assurances that
such financing will be available on terms acceptable to the Company.

Year 2000 Issue. The Company expensed costs of approximately $185,000 in
conjunction with its Year 2000 readiness preparations, which is consistent with
prior expectations. The Company has not experienced any material disruptions as
a result of the Year 2000 issue and does not anticipate any further related
expenditures.

The Company ended all expenditures on Year 2000 testing of its healthcare
provider software products upon the sale of these assets on December 24, 1998.
In connection with the sale of the assets, the Company made certain
representations regarding the Year 2000 compliance of the Company's software
products and agreed to indemnify the buyer against losses related to a breach of
representations and certain third party claims related to the operation of the
assets prior to the sale. The Company's tests and audits of the software
products prior to the sale did not indicate any issues with Year 2000
compliance, and the Company is not aware of any Year 2000 compliance issues that
have arisen to date.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Description of Business
Celeris Corporation and its subsidiaries ("Celeris" or the "Company") is a
provider of specialty clinical research and information technology services
that expedite and streamline the clinical trial and regulatory submission
process for pharmaceutical, medical device and biotechnology manufacturers.
These services accelerate specific functions within clinical trials and new
product submissions which often become bottlenecks for manufacturers seeking
regulatory clearance to market new products. Delays in obtaining regulatory
clearance for new products can result in significant lost revenues and
increased expenses for manufacturers. As a consequence, manufacturers have
increasingly outsourced clinical research functions to organizations, such as
the Company, that can offer expertise and services which speed the product
development process.

The Company has experienced operating losses for each of the past five years.
Net losses for the year ended December 31, 1999 were $2,114,602, and the Company
had an accumulated deficit of $57,532,839 at December 31, 1999. The Company's
ability to increase revenue and achieve profitability and positive cash flow
will depend on a number of factors including (i) the Company's ability to
control costs and keep increases in expenditures below growth in revenue, if
any; (ii) obtaining market acceptance of the Company's service offerings in an
intensely competitive market for clinical research services; (iii) the Company's
ability to attract and integrate new key employees and to develop new
operational and financial systems, procedures and controls related to the new
service offerings; (iv) risks associated with the Company's decision to exit
from the healthcare provider software market, including the failure to realize
the Company's assumptions regarding estimated charges; and (v) the possibility
of adverse outcomes related to the Company's shareholder lawsuits, Securities
and Exchange Commission investigation or declaratory action by the underwriters
of the Company's directors' and officers' insurance policies discussed in
Note 7. There can be no assurances that the Company will generate revenue, or
adequately control costs, to achieve profitability or positive cash flow.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and
its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have
been eliminated.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue on fee for service contracts is recognized when the related service has
been rendered. Revenue for services rendered in connection with contractual
arrangements other than fee-for-service contracts is recognized using the
percentage-of-completion method of accounting, in accordance with the
Accounting Standards Executive Committee of the American Institute of Certified
Public Accountants ("AcSEC") Statement of Position 81-1, "Accounting for
Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts."
Contracts generally range in duration from a few months to in excess of one
year. Revenue is recognized as costs are incurred on the basis of the
relationship between costs incurred and total estimated costs.



                                      15
<PAGE>   11

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with maturities
of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are carried at
cost, which approximates market value. As of December 31, 1999, the Company had
approximately $545,000 subject to withdrawal restrictions as a condition of
certain lease agreements for office space and equipment. The amount of cash
restricted under the lease agreements decreases periodically over the term of
the leases, which extend to December 2002.

Short-Term Investments

Investments with a maturity of more than 90 days at the date of purchase are
classified as short-term investments. Management determines the appropriate
classification of debt securities at the time of purchase and reevaluates such
designation as of each balance sheet date. The Company has classified its
short-term investments, consisting of U.S. agency bonds, as available for sale.
At December 31, 1999 and 1998, the fair market value of the short-term
investments approximated cost.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Company's customers consist of pharmaceutical, medical device and
biotechnology manufacturers. Accounts receivable represent receivables from
customers in the ordinary course of business. The Company determines an
allowance for doubtful accounts based upon an analysis of the collectability of
specific accounts and the aging of the accounts receivable. The Company is
subject to losses from uncollectible receivables in excess of its reserves.

Other Current Assets

On January 31, 2000, the company received $600,000 in proceeds from the sale of
its discontinued healthcare provider software segment which were due December
31, 1999. As a result, the Company recorded a receivable for these proceeds at
December 31, 1999, which has been included in other current assets in the
accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The corresponding gain was recorded
as a gain on disposal of discontinued operations on the accompanying
consolidated statements of operations for the year ending December 31, 1999.

Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment

Furniture, fixtures and equipment are stated at cost. The Company provides for
depreciation using accelerated methods at rates designed to amortize the cost
of furniture, fixtures and equipment over their estimated useful lives of three
to five years.

The Company evaluates the carrying value of long-lived equipment and fixtures
in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No.
121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived
Assets to be Disposed Of." The Company's evaluation considers nonfinancial data
such as changes in the operating environment and business strategy, competitive
information, market trends and operating performance. Based on this evaluation,
the Company has not identified any impaired long-lived assets at December 31,
1999.



                                      16

<PAGE>   12

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method, in accordance
with SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." Deferred income taxes are
calculated for the temporary differences between financial reporting and tax
bases of assets and liabilities.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying
notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts related to cash and cash equivalents,restricted
cash,short-term investments, accounts receivable, other current assets,
accounts payable and accrued expenses, deferred revenue and payables, accrued
compensation, and liabilities of discontinued operations approximate fair value
at December 31, 1999 and 1998 due to the relatively short maturities of such
investments.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

The Company adopted the AcSEC's Statement of Position 98-1, "Accounting for the
Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use" "SOP 98-1" on
January 1, 1999. SOP 98-1 provides guidance on accounting for the costs of
computer software developed or obtained for internal use. Adoption of SOP 98-1
did not have a material impact on the Company's results of operations, financial
condition or cash flows.

Legal Costs

The Company's policy is to accrue all probable and estimatable legal fees as
they are identified.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts previously reported in the 1998 and 1997 financial statements
have been reclassified to conform to the 1999 presentation. These
reclassifications had no effect on previously reported net loss or
shareholders' equity.

3.  Discontinued Operations
On June 10, 1998, the Company announced its intention to transition out of the
healthcare provider software market and direct its resources on its clinical
research services segment. As a result of this decision, the Company recorded a
charge of $5.35 million in 1998 to dispose of the software segment. This charge
represented management's estimate of the costs to exit the software business
including employee severance and retention, facility restructuring, operating
losses through the disposal period, and fulfillment of remaining contractual
obligations.



                                      17
<PAGE>   13

On December 24, 1998, the Company completed a sale of the healthcare provider
software business. As consideration for the sale, the Company agreed to a net
purchase price of up to $2.0 million, contingent upon the performance of the
assets sold and the buyer's cost to perform prepaid support and service
obligations after the closing. In addition, the Company agreed to reimburse the
buyer for the performance of prepaid support and service obligations on
assigned contracts in the amount of $500,000. As a result of the sale
transaction, the Company recorded a charge of $483,000 in the fourth quarter of
1998 representing the net book value of the assets sold and liabilities
transferred to the buyer net of cash received at closing and related
transaction costs. The charge also represented the net effect of a reassessment
of the obligations retained after the sale by the Company.

The Company has determined that, based upon the terms of the sale agreement,
the purchase price would be fixed at $1.5 million. To date, the Company has
received the total proceeds from the sale, all of which have been recorded as
gain on the disposal of discontinued operations. Proceeds in the amount of
$900,000 were received prior to December 31, 1999. The remaining amount of
$600,000 was collected on January 31, 2000, and was recorded as an other
current asset at December 31, 1999.

In the fourth quarter of 1999, the Company lowered its estimates of liabilities
retained from the health-care provider software business and, in doing so,
recorded an additional gain on the disposal of discontinued operations of
$615,000. The Company estimates its retained liabilities from the discontinued
operations to be $1.2 million as of December 31, 1999, including certain
amounts due under customer contracts and other liabilities related to the
disposal of the segment.

The financial position and results of operations of the healthcare provider
software segment are reported as discontinued operations in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements and all prior period amounts have been
restated to reflect the discontinued operations. Revenues related to the
discontinued segment prior to the sale on December 24, 1998 were $3,125,715,
$7,978,469, and $13,500,301 for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997, 1996,
respectively.

4. Income (Loss) Per Common Share

Basic income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing income (loss) for
the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding
during the period. The computation of diluted income (loss) per common share
requires that the number of weighted average shares outstanding be increased for
the assumed exercise of dilutive options using the modified treasury stock
method.

Weighted average shares used in computing income (loss) per share are as
follows:

Diluted loss per share for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998 does not
include common stock equivalents of 1,190,263 and 834,138, respectively, as
their effect would be antidilutive.

5.  Merger
During 1997, the Company paid the selling shareholders of C.L. McIntosh, a
regulatory consulting and clinical research services firm acquired in 1996,
$1,800,000, issued shares of common stock totaling 29,629 at $6.75 per share,
and canceled and reissued options repriced at $8.25 per share, primarily in
exchange for their release from potential claims, including potential liability
associated with the Company's restatement of revenues in early 1997.

6.  Common Stock
In August 1997, the Company announced a stock repurchase program to buyback up
to 666,667 shares. At December 31, 1999, the Company had repurchased 439,867
shares in conjunction with this program at prices ranging from $2.44 to $10.13,
for a total of $3,052,809.

On July 26, 1999, the Board of Directors declared a one-for-three reverse stock
split applicable to shareholders of record July 29, 1999. The stated par value
of the Company's common stock was not changed from $0.01. As a result, a total
of $61,646 was reclassified from common stock to additional paid-in capital.
Income (loss) per share, common stock outstanding and stock option data
referred to in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes
hereto have been adjusted retroactively to give effect to the reverse stock
split.

7.  Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation

The Company is a defendant in IN RE SUMMIT MEDICAL SYSTEMS, INC. SECURITIES
LITIGATION, a consolidated federal court securities action venued in the United
States District Court, District of Minnesota. The putative class action was
filed on March 10, 1997 and alleges violations of Section 10(b) of the
Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") and Rule
10b-5, Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act, Section 11 of the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and Section 15 of the Securities Act.
The Company is also a defendant in a federal court securities action captioned
TEACHERS' RETIREMENT SYSTEM OF LOUISIANA V. SUMMIT MEDICAL SYSTEMS, INC. ET.
AL. The Teachers' Retirement action was filed on April 16, 1997 in the United
States District Court, District of Minnesota and is not a class action. In
addition to the claims alleged in the consolidated action, the Teachers'
Retirement complaint alleges a claim under Section 18(a) of the Exchange Act,
common law fraud, and negligent misrepresentation. Each action alleges, in
essence, that the Company made misleading public disclosures relating to its
financial statements and seeks compensatory damages for losses incurred as a
result of each alleged misleading public disclosure. As to federal securities
law claims, both actions are subject to the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995 (the "Reform Act"). The actions do not state the monetary
damages that are being sought at this time. The Company intends to defend
against these actions vigorously. There can be no assurance that any judgment,
order or decree against the Company arising out of these actions will not have
a material adverse effect on the Company or its business.

The Division of Enforcement of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"Commission") began an investigation of the Company on March 27, 1997, relating
to the Company's restatement of certain financial statements. The Company is
cooperating fully with the Commission and its investigation. There can be no
assurance that any order, decree or other action issued or taken by the
Commission arising out of its investigation will not result in sanctions
against the Company or certain individuals that could have a material adverse
effect on the Company or its business.

The Company and certain of the Company's directors and former officers are
defendants in a declaratory relief action, DAVID FOSTER ET. AL. V. SUMMIT
MEDICAL SYSTEMS, INC. ET. AL., venued in the District Court of Hennepin County,
Minnesota. The action was initiated on August 7, 1998 and seeks a declaration
that there is no coverage under the Company's directors' and officers'
insurance policies for the Company's pending federal securities actions or the
investigation by the Commission. The plaintiffs, the insurance underwriters of
the Company's directors' and officers' insurance policies, allege that the
claims the Company has submitted for coverage involve matters commenced before
the period covered by the policies. Additionally, the plaintiffs allege that
the Commission's investigation does not constitute a proper claim under the
policies. The Company believes the plaintiffs' request for declaratory judgment
misinterprets the Company's directors' and officers' insurance policy. On July
22, 1999, the District Court of Hennepin County, Minnesota ruled in favor of
the Company's motion for summary judgment in the declaratory relief action,
DAVID FOSTER ET. AL. V. SUMMIT MEDICAL SYSTEMS, INC. ET. AL. The District Court
held that the Company's directors' and officers' insurance policies cover
claims related to the Company's pending federal securities actions and the
investigation by the Commission. On October 6, 1999, the insurance underwriters
filed a notice of appeal of the District Court's order with the Minnesota Court
of Appeals. The Company intends to oppose this action vigorously and has filed
a counterclaim to enforce coverage under the policy, including advancement of
expenses. There can be no assurance that any order, decree or declaration
arising out of this matter will not have a material adverse effect on the
Company or its business.

Leases

The Company leases its office space and certain office equipment under various
operating leases which expire at various dates through August 2003. The Company
is required to pay a pro rata share of taxes and utilities for each of the
office locations. Future minimum payments under the leases at December 31, 1999
are as follows:

Rent expense related to continuing operations for the years ended December 31,
1999, 1998 and 1997 was $917,985, $564,778, and $235,451, respectively.

8.  Income Taxes
As of December 31, 1999, the Company had a net operating loss ("NOL") and AMT
credit carryforwards of approximately $51,058,000 and $37,000, respectively,
available to offset its future income tax liability. The NOL and tax credit
carryforwards begin to expire in the year 2009.

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences
between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting
purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components
of the Company's deferred tax assets and liabilities as of December 31 are as
follows:

A valuation allowance for the entire deferred tax asset has been provided
because of the Company's history of operating losses. As a result of sales of
common stock during the past three years, ownership changes under Section 382
of the Internal Revenue Code may have occurred. Section 382 may limit the
amount of NOLs that can be utilized in the future.

9.  Stock Options
The Company has established the Stock Option Plan of 1993, for which 875,555
shares of common stock are reserved. All officers, employees and consultants of
the Company are eligible to receive stock option grants under this plan. The
options held by employees of the Company are incentive stock options within the
meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code. The options held by
officers and consultants of the Company can be either incentive stock options
or nonstatutory options. The option price is equal to the fair market value of
the common stock on the date of grant. Options vest and become exercisable at
various intervals and expire ten years from the date of grant.

The Company has also adopted the 1995 Director Plan, for which 22,222 shares of
common stock have been reserved. The plan provides for an automatic grant of
nonqualified stock options to purchase 2,222 shares of common stock to
nonemployee directors on the date such individuals are first appointed
directors of the Company, and an automatic grant of an option to purchase an
additional 667 shares of common stock on the day after each subsequent annual
meeting of the Company's shareholders. The

                                      21

option price is equal to the fair market value of the common stock on the date
of grant. Options vest and become exercisable as to 100% of such shares on the
first anniversary of the date of such grant and expire ten years from the date
of grant.

In addition to the options granted under the Stock Option Plan of 1993 and the
1995 Director Plan, the Company has issued options outside of the plans,
primarily as consideration for acquisitions. As of December 31, 1999, the
Company has 250,555 such options outstanding.

Option activity is summarized as follows:

During 1997, the Company canceled and reissued previously granted options held
by employees to purchase shares of common stock with original exercise prices
that ranged from $14.25 to $51.75 per share and replaced them with new options
with an exercise price of $8.07 per share. Also, during 1997, the Company
canceled and reissued options and warrants including shares issued in
conjunction with certain acquisitions.

During 1999, the Company's stock option grants exceeded the shares available
for grant under the Stock Option Plan of 1993. As a result, the shareholders of
the Company will be asked to approve an additional 130,000 shares for issuance
as stock options under the Stock Option Plan of 1993 at the Company's Annual
Meeting.

Options outstanding expire at various dates during the period from 2000 through
2006. Exercise prices for options outstanding as of December 31, 1999 ranged
from $1.47 to $23.64 per share. The number of options exercisable as of
December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997 were 468,361, 342,510, and 164,052,
respectively, at weighted average exercise prices of $6.85, $8.28 and $9.45 per
share, respectively.

The weighted average grant date fair value of plan options granted at market
prices during the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997 was $2.19, $5.04
and $5.61 per share, respectively. The weighted average grant date fair value
of nonplan options granted at market prices during the years ended December 31,
1999, 1998 and 1997 was $3.30, $8.97 and $6.57, respectively. No nonplan
options were granted below market prices during the years ended December 31,
1999, 1998 and 1997.

The Company applies Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for
Stock Issued to Employees," and related interpretations in accounting for its
stock option plans. Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized in
the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Had compensation cost
been recognized based on the fair values of options at the grant dates
consistent with the provisions of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation," the Company's net loss and net loss per common share would have
been increased to the following pro forma amounts:

Because the SFAS No. 123 method of accounting has not been applied to options
granted prior to January 1, 1995, the resulting pro forma compensation cost may
not be representative of that to be expected in future years. The fair value
for these options was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes
option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions for 1999,
1998 and 1997, respectively: risk-free interest rate of 5.5%, 5.1% and 6.0%; no
dividend yield; volatility factors of 137.0%, 108.0% and 86.5%; and a weighted
average expected life of the options of 6.0, 6.0 and 5.0 years.

10.  Employee Benefit Plans
Employee Stock Purchase Plans

Under the 1995 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, 44,444 shares of common stock were
reserved and issued at December 31, 1998. Effective January 1, 1999, the
Company adopted the Celeris Corporation Employee Stock Purchase Plan under
which 166,667 shares are reserved. All employees who have met the service
eligibility requirements are eligible to participate in this new plan and may
direct the Company to make payroll deductions of 1% to 15% of their
compensation during a purchase period for the purchase of shares under the
plan. The Celeris Corporation Employee Stock Purchase Plan provides
participating employees the right, subject to certain limitations, to purchase
the Company's common stock at a price equal to the lower of 85% of the fair
market value of the Company's common stock on the first day, or the last day,
of the applicable purchase period. The first purchase period commenced January
1, 1999 and ended on June 30, 1999. Subsequent purchase periods will run for
six months, subject to acceleration in the case of a merger or consolidation in
which the Company is not the surviving corporation, or the liquidation,
dissolution or sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company.

401(k) Plan

All employees who are at least 18 years of age are eligible to participate in
the Company's 401(k) plan. Each employee may contribute from 1% to 15% of their
eligible compensation to the plan. The Company may make discretionary matching
contributions to the plan based on employee contributions. No matching
contributions were made by the Company in 1999, 1998 and 1997.

11.  Segment Reporting and Significant Customer Information
The Company adopted SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise
and Related Information," in the fourth quarter of 1998. SFAS No. 131
established standards for disclosure of financial information related to
operating segments of the Company as well as disclosure requirements for
customer and geographic information. SFAS No. 131 defines an operating segment
as a component of a company for which operating results are reviewed regularly
by the chief operating decision maker to determine resource allocation and
assess performance. The Company has four segments reportable under the
guidelines of SFAS No. 131: the Company's clinical monitoring services group, a
start-up operation formed in the first quarter of 1998; data management
services group, a start-up operation formed in the fourth quarter of 1998;
regulatory consulting services group; and the Company's corporate operating
function.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

To Celeris Corporation:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Celeris
Corporation (formerly Summit Medical Systems, Inc.) (a Minnesota corporation)
and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the related consolidated
statements of operations, shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 1999. These consolidated financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial
statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States. Those standards 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. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of
Celeris Corporation and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the
results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended December 31, 1999 in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States.
