              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)

Note 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

               In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited
               condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all
               adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary
               to present fairly the financial position of Maritime Transport &
               Technology, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the "Company") as of November
               30, 1999, its results of operations for the six and three months
               ended November 30, 1999 and 1998, its cash flows for the six
               months ended November 30, 1999 and 1998 and its changes in
               stockholders' equity for the six months ended November 30, 1999.
               Information included in the condensed consolidated balance sheet
               as of May 31, 1999 has been derived from the audited consolidated
               balance sheet included in the Company's Form 10-K for the year
               ended May 31, 1999 (the "10-K") previously filed with the
               Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Pursuant to rules
               and regulations of the SEC, certain information and disclosures
               normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance
               with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed
               or omitted from these consolidated financial statements unless
               significant changes have taken place since the end of the most
               recent fiscal year. Accordingly, these unaudited condensed
               consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction
               with the consolidated financial statements, notes to consolidated
               financial statements and other information in the 10-K.

               The consolidated results of operations for the six and three
               months ended November 30, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of
               the results to be expected for the full year.

Note 2 - NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE:

               Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings
               Per Share," requires dual presentation of basic and diluted
               earnings per share by entities with complex capital structures.
               Basic earnings per share includes no dilution and is computed by
               dividing net income (loss) by the total number of common shares
               outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects
               the potential dilution of securities that could dilute the shares
               in computing the earnings of the Company such as common stock
               which may be issuable upon exercise of outstanding common stock
               options or the conversion of debt into common stock. As of
               November 30, 1999 and 1998 and for the periods then ended, there
               were no dilutive securities outstanding.

Note 3 - PRIVATE PLACEMENTS:

               Two of the Company's directors, Andrew Seim and Alexander Brosda,
               acting individually and as principals of Taurus Investments
               International, Inc. (a Bermuda corporation) (collectively
               "Taurus"), acting as Directors of B.G. Banking prior to its
               acquisition by the Company and subsequent to the acquisition
               becoming directors of the Company, offered and sold on behalf of
               B.G. Banking what Taurus has admitted to being an aggregate of
               304,500 shares of common stock of B.G. Banking for an aggregate
               consideration of $304,500. Taurus has remitted to B.G. Banking
               and the Company net proceeds of $109,673 and claims the
               difference of $194,827 be retained by Taurus as payment for
               expenses and commissions. Taurus has refused to disclose the
               names and numbers of shares of common stock and refused to remit
               to the Company the proceeds of the shares sold.

               The Company intends to enter into a lawsuit with Taurus demanding
               the balance of $194,827 that was improperly withheld be remitted
               to the Company and that Taurus disclose the names of the persons
               and the number of shares of common stock sold to these
               individuals. As of November 30, 1999, Taurus has failed to turn
               over the balance of money, provide the names of the stock
               subscribers and the number of shares of common stock purchased.

Note 3 - PRIVATE PLACEMENTS (CONCLUDED):

               Based upon the accounting provided by Taurus to the Company, the
               Company may be liable for the issuance of up to 329,500 shares of
               common stock if and when Taurus substantiates its representation
               as to the number of shares of common stock sold and the aggregate
               consideration.

               The Company may also be forced to defend itself against actions
               to be brought by unknown subscribers to shares of common stock of
               B.G. Banking whose purchase price has never been disclosed or
               delivered to the Company. The Company is aware of one alleged
               purchaser who claims to have delivered funds to Taurus and whose
               funds where apparently not turned over to the Company. In the
               opinion of management, the Company has no liability to such
               purchasers and intends to vigorously defend such actions, if and
               when brought.

               As of November 30, 1999, the Company has identified stockholders
               representing an aggregate of 232,250 shares with an aggregate
               consideration of $169,000 representing 126,500 shares of
               certificates in B.G. Banking's name sold by Taurus and has
               converted those shares into 189,750 shares of the Company's
               common stock valued at $126,500 and issued 42,500 shares of the
               Company's common stock in consideration for $42,500 valued at $1
               per share.

               Through November 30, 1999, the Company has received $42,000 from
               Taurus relating to the purchase of shares by an unknown investor.
               The Company is holding this money in escrow as an investor loan
               payable pending disposition.

               As of November 30, 1999, the Company has reserved 329,500 shares
               of common stock pending possible issuance of shares in
               satisfaction of outstanding subscription agreements.

               The Company is offering 2,000,000 shares of common stock at $1
               per share on a "best effort basis".

               As of November 30, 1999, the Company has sold 53,500 shares of
               common stock for aggregate consideration of $53,500, net of
               $3,192 of expenses.

               The Company has reserved 1,904,000 shares of common stock pending
               the completion of the private placement.

        ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                 FOR THE SIX MONTHS NOVEMBER 30, 1999 AND 1998

Form 10-Q, other than historical financial information, may consist of
forward-looking statements that include risks and uncertainties, including, but
not limited to, statements contained in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations." Such statements are based upon
many assumptions and are subject to risks and uncertainties. Actual results
could differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking
statements due to a number of factors, including, but not limited to, those
identified in this document and the Company's other filings with the Securities
and Exchange Commission. The Company disclaims any intent or obligation to
update these forward-looking statements.

OVERVIEW

Maritime Transport & Technology (the "Company") was established in 1968. The
Company remained dormant for many years until the Company completed the
acquisition of B.G. Banking Equipment, Inc., ("B.G. Banking") and Financial
Building Equipment Exchange, Inc., ("FBEE"). The Company is now in the business
of buying, selling, trading and refurbishing new and used financial equipment
for banks and other financial institutions. The Company markets the products
throughout the United States primarily through direct sales to financial
institutions and other distributors, who are supported by the Company's direct
sales force, as well as soliciting new contacts through its presence on the
Internet.


The Company anticipates that its results of operations may fluctuate for the
foreseeable future due to several factors, including whether and when new
products at competitive prices are obtained and/or available at favorable
prices; market acceptance of current or new products, delays or inefficiencies
in fulfilling orders, seasonal customer demand, the timing of significant
orders, competitive pressures on average selling prices and changes in the mix
of products sold.

Operating results would also be adversely affected by a downturn in the market
for the Company's current and future products, order cancellations, or order
rescheduling or remanufacturing or delays. The Company purchases and resells new
merchandise and remanufactures and ships its other products shortly after
receipt of orders and has not developed a significant backlog for such products
and does not anticipate it will develop a material backlog for such products in
the future.

Because the Company plans to increase its operating expenses, primarily for
personnel and activities supporting newly-introduced products, new product
development and entering new markets, the Company's operating results would be
adversely affected if its sales did not correspondingly increase or if its
product development efforts are unsuccessful or are subject to delays. The
Company has incurred losses due to providing for some bad debts and the issuance
of shares of common stock in consideration for consulting expenses which were
charged to operations during the six months ended November 30, 1999.

The Company may not sustain revenue growth or return to profitability on a
quarterly or annual basis and its operating results may not be consistent with
predictions made by securities analysts.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 1999 AS COMPARED TO
THE SIX MONTHS ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 1998.

Revenues were $945,907 for the six months ended November 30, 1999 as compared to
$ 828,925 for the six months ended November 30, 1998 reflecting an increase of
$116,982 or 14.1% over the same period last year. Cost of goods sold and related
expenses for the six months ended November 30, 1999 were $622,420 or 65.8% of
net sales as compared to $372,207 or 44.9% of net sales for the six months ended
November 30, 1998. The increase in sales is the direct result of getting the
Company's website up allowing customers to see the items that are available for
sale. Gross profit was dramatically reduced based upon the ratio of new products
sold to refurbished products sold and also increased labor costs. The sale of
refurbished or used items carries a much higher gross profit than the sale of
new items.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $410,384 for the six months
ended November 30, 1999 as compared to $374,244 for the six months ended
November 30, 1998 reflecting an increase of $36,140 or 9.7% over the same period
last year. The increases in general and administrative expenses were
attributable to consulting fees and a provision for bad debts. However, $128,100
of these consulting fees was satisfied by the issuance of common stock and the
provision for bad debts for $71,960 are both non-cash charges.

As a result of the above, the company incurred a net loss of $85,209 or $.01 per
share for the six months ended November 30, 1999 as compared to a net income of
$90,434 or $.01 per share for the six months ended November 30, 1998.

year. The increases in general and administrative expenses were attributable to

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company has historically financed its operations through revenues from
operations, private and public placements of equity securities and debt
financing.

As of November 30, 1999, The Company had cash balances of $214,773 and working
capital of $571,723. The Company's cash balances increased by $92,612 during the
six months ended November 30, 1999. The Company's operations generated cash of
$83,775 primarily from operations adding back the non-cash charges described
above, decreases in accounts receivable of $155,029 and an offsetting increase
in inventories by $183,329. Other significant business activities affecting cash
included the purchase of equipment and improvements of $34,593 and an increase
in notes receivable non- affiliated party of $60,975, an increase of officer
loan payable of $55,046 and $50,308 proceeds received from private placements.

The Company believes that its available cash, cash from operations and funds
from existing credit arrangements will be sufficient to satisfy its funding
needs for at least the next 12 months. Thereafter, if cash generated from
operations is insufficient to satisfy the Company's working capital and capital
expenditure requirements, the Company may be required to sell additional equity
or debt securities or obtain additional credit facilities. There can be no
assurance that such additional capital, if needed, will be available on
satisfactory terms, if at all. Furthermore, any additional equity financing may
be dilutive to stockholders, and debt financing, if available, may include
restrictive covenants. The Company's future liquidity and capital funding
requirements will depend on numerous factors, including the extent to which the
Company's new products and products under consideration are successfully
developed, gain market acceptance and become and remain competitive, the timing
and results of regulatory actions in the banking industry, the costs and timing
of further expansion of sales, marketing and manufacturing activities,
facilities expansion needs. The failure by the Company to raise capital on
acceptable terms when needed could have a material adverse effect on the
Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.
