Directors,  exercised all of their vested options to purchase  Warrantech common

ITEM 2. Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations

Except for the historical  information  contained herein,  the matters discussed
below or elsewhere in this quarterly report are forward looking  statements that
involve  risks  and  uncertainties.  The  Company  makes  such  forward  looking
statements  under the  provisions  of the "safe  harbor"  section of the Private
Securities  Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  Forward looking statements are based
on  management's  beliefs  and  assumptions,  as well as  information  currently
available to management.  Such beliefs and assumptions are based on, among other
things, the Company's operating and financial  performance over recent years and
its  expectations  about its business for the current fiscal year.  Although the
Company  believes  that  the  expectations  reflected  in such  forward  looking
statements are reasonable,  it can give no assurance that such expectations will
prove to be correct. Such statements are subject to certain risks, uncertainties
and assumptions,  including (a) prevailing economic conditions may significantly
deteriorate,  thereby  reducing  the  demand  for  the  Company's  products  and
services,  (b) unavailability of technical support personnel or increases in the
rate of  turnover  of such  personnel,  reflecting  increased  demand  for  such
qualified  personnel,  (c)  changes in the terms or  availability  of  insurance
coverage  for  the  Company's  programs,  or (d)  regulatory  or  legal  changes
affecting the Company's  business,  although none of these risks are anticipated
at the  present  time.  Should  one or more  of  these  or any  other  risks  or
uncertainties materialize,  or should the underline assumptions prove incorrect,
actual  results  may  vary  materially  from  those  anticipated,  estimated  or
expected.

Results of Operations

Gross  revenues  for the three  months  ended June 30,  1998  decreased  5.1% to
$50,264,482  as compared  with  $53,327,030  for the three months ended June 30,
1997.  This decrease was primarily  attributable  to the  termination  of a high
volume,  low margin dealer  agreement and second,  the decline in unit prices in
computers and consumer electronic products.

The net increase in deferred  revenues for the three month period ended June 30,
1998 as compared with the same period a year ago is directly attributable to the
increased  number of service  contracts  sold with a service period greater than
one year during that period of time offset in part by amounts earned on expiring
contracts during the same period.

Direct costs are those costs directly  related to the production and acquisition
of service  contracts.  Direct costs were $36,535,216 or 72.7% of gross revenues
for the three months ended June 30, 1998 as compared with  $38,945,085  or 73.0%
for the comparable period last year. This decrease is attributable to the change
in mix of contracts sold and the termination of a high volume, low margin dealer
agreement.
 
Service,  selling and general and  administrative  expenses for the three months
ended June 30, 1998 were $14,176,847 or 28.2% of gross revenues as compared with
$11,314,775  or 21.2% for the same  period  last  year.  The  increases  in SG&A
expenses reflect an increase in expenses due to increased  temporary staffing of
technical  support staff in its call  centers.  The Company is in the process of
reengineering its= call center processes and systems  implementation with a goal
of improving operational efficiency.  These increases are also related to higher
payroll and payroll  related costs  resulting from the development of Help Desk,
Inc.


                                        9

<PAGE>


It is anticipated that the reengineering of call center processes will result in
improved  response time and decreased call processing time, and that the current
cost  initiatives  and  reengineered   processes  will  return  the  Company  to
profitability in the fiscal second quarter.

The increase in depreciation  and  amortization  for the three months ended June
30,  1998  compared  to the same  period  last  year is the  result  of  capital
additions  related to the Company=s ongoing up-grade of its computer systems and
the  additional  equipment  requirements  resulting from the increase in service
contracts in force.

The provision (benefit) for income taxes is based on the Company's projection of
its estimated effective tax rate for the fiscal year.

Liquidity and Financial Resources

The Company has an ongoing  relationship with equipment  financing companies and
intends to continue  financing  certain future  equipment  needs through leasing
transactions.  The total amount financed through leasing transactions during the
three month period ended June 30, 1998  amounted to $135,574.  The Company has a
line of credit with a bank which provides for a maximum  aggregate  borrowing up
to $10 million. The line of credit, which expires on August 31, 1998, is secured
by certain accounts  receivable.  At June 30, 1998, the Company did not have any
borrowing under the line of credit.

The Company  believes  that  internally  generated  funds will be  sufficient to
finance its current operations for at least the next twelve months. Cash used by
operations  during the three months ended June 30, 1998  amounted to  $2,904,060
which is principally attributable to payroll and payroll related costs resulting
from the increase in service levels to both new and existing accounts.

Management believes that there are significant  opportunities for growth through
acquisitions in the business services industry.  While there can be no assurance
that any transactions will materialize, to the extent that capital resources are
required in connection with any proposed transaction,  the Company believes that
it will be able to meet its needs  through a  combination  of available  cash on
hand,  borrowings  against  its  available  bank  credit  line,  and  additional
third-party  financing.  Based on discussions  with third  parties,  the Company
believes  such funding will be available to the Company if needed on  acceptable
terms, although such availability cannot be assured.
 
The  effect of  inflation  has not been  significant  to the  Company  since its
formation.
