NOTE 3. USE OF ESTIMATES

     Management  of the  Company  has made  certain  estimates  and  assumptions
relating to the  reporting  of assets,  liabilities,  revenues  and  expenses to
prepare  the  financial   statements  in  conformity  with  generally   accepted
accounting principles. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S  DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS FOR THE QUARTERS AND FOUR MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 AND 1998

     The  statements   contained  in  this  discussion  and  analysis  regarding
management's anticipation of adequacy of cash reserves for operations,  adequacy
of reserves for claims,  anticipated level of operating  expenses related to new
Members,  viability of the Company,  cash flows and marketability of the Company
constitute  "forward-looking"  statements  within  the  meaning  of the  Private
Securities  Litigation  Reform Act of 1995.  Such  statements  involve risks and
uncertainties,  which could cause actual results to differ  materially  from the
forward-looking statements.  Management's anticipation is based upon assumptions
regarding the market in which the Company  operates,  the level of  competition,
the level of demand for  services,  the  stability  of costs,  the  retention of
Sponsors and Members enrolled in the Company's benefit  programs,  the relevance
of the Company's historical  performance,  Year 2000 issues and the stability of
the regulatory environment. Any of these assumptions could prove inaccurate, and
therefore there can be no assurance that the  forward-looking  information  will
prove to be accurate.

     Avesis   Incorporated,   a   Delaware   corporation   (together   with  its
subsidiaries, the "Company"), incorporated in June 1978, markets and administers
vision,  dental,  chiropractic  and hearing  managed care and discount  programs
("Programs")  nationally.  The  Programs  are  designed  to enable  participants
("Members"),  who are enrolled through various sponsoring  organizations such as
insurance   carriers,   HMOs,   Blue  Cross  and  Blue   Shield   organizations,
corporations,  unions and various associations ("Sponsors"),  to realize savings
on  purchases of services and  products  through  networks of providers  such as
ophthalmologists,  optometrists,  opticians, dentists, chiropractors and hearing
specialists  ("Providers").  The Company incorporated Avesis Reinsurance Inc. in
October  1999,  to enable the Company to insure  risks as a life and  disability
reinsurer, thereby maximizing the potential revenues and earnings related to its
Programs.

                                       6

     The Company derives its  administration  fee revenue from plan Sponsors who
customarily  pay a set fee per Member per month.  Administration  fee revenue is
recognized  on the accrual basis during the month that the Member is entitled to
use the benefit.  Certain Sponsors pay for services rendered by the Company on a
fee for  service  basis.  Based upon the type of Program  (e.g.,  managed  care,
discount,  third party administration) the Provider's claim for service provided
to  Members  is paid  either by the  Company,  Sponsor,  Member  or  combination
thereof.  Buying  Group  revenues  are  recorded at the total  amount  billed to
participating  Providers  and  recognized  in the month the  product is shipped.
Vision  Provider  fee revenue is based upon a percentage  of  materials  sold by
certain participating Providers under certain plans.

     The  following  tables  detail the  Company's  major  revenue  and  expense
categories for the quarters and four months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998:

Sponsors  accounted  for 48% and 14% of total service  revenues  during the four
months ended September 30, 1999, and three major Sponsors accounted for 28%, 17%
and 14% of total  service  revenues  during the four months ended  September 30,
1998. Two of the Company's three major Sponsors  accounted for separately during
the four months  ended  September  30, 1998 were  combined  prior to the current
fiscal  year.  The Company is  substantially  dependent  on a limited  number of
Sponsors  and  may  be  materially  adversely  affected  by  termination  of its
agreements with those Sponsors.

     The increase in total service  revenues is principally due to a vision plan
Sponsor who has  increased  the level of benefit of its Members,  over the prior
year,  and a second  vision plan Sponsor which has added  approximately  100,000
Members since September 1998.

     The Company had  approximately  710,000 vision and 4,000 hearing Members as
of  September  30,  1999,  compared to  approximately  800,000  vision and 5,000
hearing  Members as of September  30,  1998.  The increase in vision and hearing
revenue during the quarter and four months ended  September 30, 1999 as compared
to the same  periods in the  previous  fiscal year was largely the result of the
two vision plan Sponsors  mentioned  above.  The decrease in vision  Members was
partially  caused by the  termination  of an account with  approximately  91,000
Members in a discount program,  which did not provide significant revenue to the
Company.  Other changes in the number of vision and hearing Members occurred due
to Sponsors'  employee or Member  fluctuations in the normal course of business.
Vision provider fee revenue  remained  constant as a percentage of total service
revenues from the four months ended  September 30, 1998 to the four months ended
September 30, 1999.

     The Company had  approximately  124,000  dental Members as of September 30,
1999, compared to approximately 159,000 dental Members as of September 30, 1998.
The decline of the Company's dental program revenue and membership resulted from
a  Sponsor's  loss of  approximately  23,000  Members  who  participated  in the
Company's  dental  program.  There also have been  reductions  in  Members  from
various Sponsors in the normal course of business.

     The Company makes available to its vision  Providers a buying group program
that enables the Provider to order  eyeglass  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.

     Costs of Services  primarily relate to servicing  Members,  Providers,  and
Sponsors under the Company's vision,  hearing,  dental and chiropractic  benefit
programs  as well as the cost of  frames  that are sold  through  the  Company's
buying  group  program as  discussed  above.  Cost of  Services  decreased  as a
percentage  of total service  revenues  during the quarter and four months ended
September  30,  1999,  as compared to the same periods in the prior fiscal year.
The  decrease  in Cost of  Services  in the  current  periods as compared to the
previous  year  primarily  resulted from lower  Provider  claims for services on
which  the  Company  is  responsible  for  payment.  However,  Cost of  Services
increased  slightly as a percentage  of total  service  revenue  during the four
months ended  September 30, 1999 (71%) as compared to the average for the entire
previous fiscal year (70%). This increase was largely due to the Company's focus
on Customer Service, Network Development and Provider communication.

     General and  Administrative  expenses  increased as a  percentage  of total
service  revenue during the quarter and four months ended September 30, 1999, as
compared to the quarter and four months ended  September 30, 1998.  The increase
was largely due to increases in rent, depreciation and equipment rentals related
to the expansion of the Company's principal offices beginning February 1999. The
Company's   payments  under  its  Management   Agreement  with  National  Health
Enterprises, Inc. (an affiliate) increased by $50,000 to $300,000 annually as of
June 1,  1999.  The  Company  also  began  making  monthly  payments  under  its
Investment  Advisor  Agreement  with Richter & Co.,  Inc. (an  affiliate)  at an
annual rate of $30,000 as of June 1, 1999.

     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 related overhead  expenses.  The
increase in expenses during the quarter and four months ended September 30, 1999
as compared to the same periods in the previous fiscal year was primarily due to
the  payroll  and  related  expenses  for a senior  salesperson  that joined the
Company during September 1998. A significant  amount of the Company's  marketing
activities  has been  outsourced  to  management  consultants,  National  Health
Enterprises (an affiliate).

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $2,587,237 as of September 30,
1999,  compared to  $2,599,342  as of May 31,  1999.  The decrease of $12,105 is
primarily  due to the  Company's  net income earned during the four months ended
September 30, 1999,  offset by fixed asset purchases,  the payment of a dividend
on the  Company's  Series A  preferred  stock and the  transfer of $100,000 to a
certificate  of deposit,  included in other assets,  related to the formation of
ARI. Current cash on hand and cash provided from operations is expected to allow
the Company to sustain operations for the foreseeable future.

     As of September 30, 1999, the Company had  $1,265,841 of Accounts  Payable,
compared to  $1,364,586  as of May 31,  1999.  Included in Accounts  Payable are
reserves for claims of $1,057,850 as of September 30, 1999, and $1,082,072 as of
May  31,  1999.   The   reserves  are  for  incurred  but  not  reported   claim
reimbursements  to Providers who  participate in certain  managed care programs.
The Company believes this reserve is adequate based upon historical results.

     The Company expects to pay dividends of approximately $49,000 on the Series
A Preferred Stock on December 1, 1999.

YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

     The Year 2000 issue is the result of  computer  systems  that were  written
using  two  digits  rather  than  four  to  define  the  applicable  year.  This
programming  decision may prevent such systems from accurately  processing dates
occurring in the Year 2000 and thereafter.  This could result in system failures
or in  miscalculations  causing a disruption of operations,  including,  but not
limited to, a temporary inability to process Member eligibility information,  to
process  claims  payments,  or to  engage in  routine  business  activities  and
operations.

     During July 1997,  the  Company  contracted  with a third  party  vendor to
develop  new systems to support  the  Company's  claims  payment,  customer  and
provider  service,  quality  assurance and network  development  functions.  The
Company  missed  its  anticipated  implementation  date  for the new  system  of
September 1, 1999, due to issues with data conversion from its current  systems.
As of October 4, 1999, the issues had been  addressed in a  satisfactory  manner
and the new system was fully implemented as of November 1, 1999. As of September
30, 1999, the Company had paid approximately  $440,000 for software  development
and  related  hardware,  which was  capitalized.  The  Company  expects to incur
approximately  $44,000 of additional  software  development and related hardware
expenses during fiscal 2000.

     The Company has reviewed all other  internally  used  software and believes
that its systems that have  recently  been  developed  and are  currently  under
testing and all other critical applications are Year 2000 compliant.  Based upon
its current computer  operations and systems  development,  the Company believes
that its risks related to Year 2000 compliance are minimal. The Company does not
presently  anticipate  that any additional  costs to address the Year 2000 issue
will have a  material  adverse  effect  on the  Company's  financial  condition,
results of operations or liquidity.

     The  Company is in the  process of  contacting  all vendors and clients who
forward data  electronically  to determine the extent of their compliance and to
plan accordingly.  Based upon information  recently received from third parties,
the Company  believes  that all  significant  vendors and clients have Year 2000
remediation   efforts  underway.   The  Company's  five  largest  Sponsors  that
collectively  account  for  greater  than 90% of the  total  administration  fee
revenue either  electronically  transmit data using a four-digit year or forward
data in a hard copy format.  To the extent that the Company's  vendor and client
data are not Year 2000  compliant,  the  Company's new systems have been written
with  the  flexibility  to  translate  the  data  accordingly  into a Year  2000
compliant  format.  While  the  Company  believes  that  its  risks  related  to
disruption  arising  from Year 2000  compliance  by vendors  and its clients are
minimal,  it does not have any  control  over  these  third  parties  and cannot
determine to what extent future operating  results may be adversely  affected by
the failure of third parties to address Year 2000 issues successfully.
