                              AVESIS INCORPORATED
                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                            AUGUST 31, 1995 AND 1994
                                  (Unaudited)

1.   The condensed  financial  statements  included herein have been prepared by
     the Company  without  audit  pursuant to the rules and  regulations  of the
     Securities and Exchange Commission.

     Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
     statements  prepared at the fiscal year end have been  condensed or omitted
     pursuant to such rules and regulations,  although the Company believes that
     the  disclosures  are  adequate  to  make  the  information  presented  not
     misleading.

     In the opinion of Management,  the adjustments included in the accompanying
     interim  financial  statements  are all of a normal  recurring  nature  and
     present  fairly  the  Company's  financial  position  and  the  results  of
     operations and cash flows for the periods indicated.

     The results of  operations  for the period ended  August 31, 1995,  are not
     necessarily  indicative  of the  results to be  expected  for the  complete
     fiscal year.

2.   Loss per common  share is  computed  by  dividing  net loss,  after  giving
     appropriate  effect to undeclared  preferred  stock  dividends  payable and
     accrued during the period ($87,342 in each of the quarters ended August 31,
     1995 and 1994) by the weighted average number of common shares  outstanding
     during the period.


Item 2    Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operations
              For the Three Months Ended August 31, 1995

Results of Operations:
- ----------------------

Service revenues totaled  $1,561,961 for the three months ended August 31, 1995,
compared to  $1,332,205  for the same  period in fiscal  1995,  representing  an
increase of $229,756 (17%). The Company's vision and hearing programs  accounted
for $656,123 (42%) of total service revenues during the quarter ended August 31,
1995 compared to $496,142  (37%) for the same quarter last year. The increase in
vision and  hearing  revenue  during the  current  quarter  was the result of an
increase  in  vision  cardholders  attributable  to three  sponsors.  Two of the
sponsors were  existing  sponsors  that added an  additional  combined  total of
approximately  125,000  cardholders  and the third  sponsor  was a new  contract
whereby  approximately  3,400  members  receive  vision  benefits.   There  were
approximately  383,000 vision cardholders in force at August 31, 1995,  compared
to  approximately  248,000  cardholders at August 31, 1994.  Vision provider fee
revenue  declined by $21,494  (27%)  during the  current  quarter as compared to
fiscal 1994 due in part to a modification  of the Company's  agreements with its
providers  that for new  sponsors,  the  providers are not required to pay a fee
based on gross sales to that sponsor's members.

The  Company's  dental  program  accounted  for $465,403  (30%) of total service
revenues  during the quarter  ended August 31, 1995  compared to $315,747  (23%)
during the quarter ended August 31 1994. The 47% growth in this line of business
was primarily due to the addition of approximately 73,000 uninsured  cardholders
from one sponsor,  which have been added intermittently  beginning October 1993,
and 3,400  insured  cardholders  related to a new sponsor  effective  July 1994.
There were approximately  81,000 dental cardholders at August 31, 1995, compared
to approximately 75,000 at August 31, 1994.

On December 30, 1992,  the Company  completed  the sale of its pharmacy  line of
business  to  Medi-Mail,   Inc.  The  Company   contracted  to  provide  certain
administrative  services  with  respect to the pharmacy  line of business  until
December 31, 1993.  However,  due to delays  encountered by Medi-Mail during the
conversion of the claims  processing,  the Company entered into a month to month
agreement to continue to provide administrative services to Medi-Mail. Medi-Mail
terminated  the agreement in August 1995.  Pharmaceutical  revenues  constituted
$78,281 (5%) of total service revenues during the current  quarter,  compared to
$130,775 (9%) during the quarter ended August 31, 1994.

The Company  makes  available  to its  providers,  a buying  group  program that
enables the provider to purchase frames from the manufacturers at discounts from
wholesale  costs.  These  discounted  prices are generally lower than a provider
could negotiate individually, due to the large volume of purchases of the buying
group.  Buying group revenues were $362,154 (23%) of total service  revenues for
the quarter  ended  August 31,  1995,  compared  to $400,982  (30%) for the same
quarter last year.

Past and future  revenues in all lines of business are  directly  related to the
number of cardholders enrolled in the Company's benefit programs. However, there
may be  significant  pricing  differences  depending  on whether  the benefit is
insured in part or whole by the plan sponsor.  The Company's current  cardholder
base pricipally is derived from a limited number of sponsors.

The cost of  services  increased  by  $123,633  (15%) from  $839,763  during the
quarter  ended August 31, 1994 to $963,396  during the quarter  ended August 31,
1995.  These costs primarily  relate to servicing  cardholders,  providers,  and
sponsors under the Company's  vision,  hearing and dental  benefit  programs and
under the  pharmaceutical  program  sold to  Medi-Mail  in  December  1992.  The
increase  in  cost  of  services  during  the  current  quarter  was  due to the
incremental costs incurred related to servicing the new cardholders as discussed
above.

General and  administrative  expenses  were  $294,335  during the quarter  ended
August 31, 1995,  which  represents an increase of 28,420 (11%)  compared to the
same period in fiscal  1994.  The  increase  in the  current  quarter was due to
slight  increases  in  several  expenses  such  as  wages,  depreciation  and an
increased allocation of rent.

Selling and  marketing  expenses  were $232,417 for the quarter ended August 31,
1995,  representing an increase of $33,246 (17%) from the same period last year.
Selling and marketing  expenses  include  marketing  fees,  broker  commissions,
inside sales and marketing salaries and related expenses,  travel related to the
Company's sales activities and an allocation of other overhead expenses relating
to the Company's sales and marketing functions.  The increase in expenses during
the quarter  ended August 31, 1995,  was  primarily due to an increase in broker
commissions related to the new cardholders that were added as discussed above. A
significant  amount of the  Company's  marketing  activities  are  performed  by
National Health Enterprises.


Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

The  Company  had cash and cash  equivalents  of  $400,260  at August 31,  1995,
compared to $815,567 at May 31, 1995. The decrease of $415,307 was due primarily
to an increase in receivables as a result of not receiving payments from clients
until after the end of the quarter.

At August 31, 1995, the Company had aggregate  outstanding long-term liabilities
of $435,414, consisting of $189,000 of Convertible Subordinated Debentures, less
$4,447 of  unamortized  discount,  $160,000  of  subordinated  notes  payable to
stockholders, and $90,861 in accrued rent.

The Company has generated  income from  operations for the last six  consecutive
quarters,  and based on the existing and anticipated levels of cardholders,  the
Company  expects to generate  positive cash flows and income from operations for
fiscal 1996.
