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.

Note 4. Leases

     On December 16, 1998, the Company entered into a lease agreement to expand
its current principal office location by approximately 3,200 square feet. The
term of the lease will run concurrently with the current lease on the principal
office location and will expire on September 30, 2002.

     On February 24, 1999, the Company was released by the landlord from the
lease agreement and by the lessee from the sub-lease agreement covering the
Company's former principal office. The lease agreement had an original
expiration date of September 30, 2000. The write-off of unamortized broker's
commissions and accrued rent that related to the lease for the Company's former
principal office resulted in approximately $47,000 of miscellaneous income.

ITEM 2 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS FOR THE NINE
       MONTHS ENDED FEBRUARY 28, 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
cardholders, 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 cardholders 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 subsidiary,
the "Company"), incorporated in June 1978, markets and administers vision,
hearing, dental and chiropractic managed care and discount programs ("Programs")
nationally. The Programs are designed to enable participants ("Members" or
"Cardholders"), 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, hearing specialists, dentists and
chiropractors ("Providers").

     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. There are arrangements with certain Sponsors to 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 merchandise is shipped. Vision Provider fee revenue is based upon a
percentage of materials sold by certain participating providers under certain
plans.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:

     The following tables detail the Company's major revenue and expense
categories for the quarters and nine months ended February 28, 1999 and 1998:

     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 to Sponsors depending on whether
the benefit offered is funded in part or whole by the plan Sponsor. A
substantial portion of the Company's Cardholder base is derived from a limited
number of Sponsors. The Company's four largest Sponsors accounted for
approximately 93% and 83% of the total administration fee revenue for the nine
months ended February 28, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

     The increase in total service revenues is principally due to a vision plan
Sponsor who has increased the level of benefit of their Cardholders, and the
resulting fees paid to the Company, over the prior year, and a second vision
plan Sponsor which has added approximately 78,000 Cardholders since May 1998.

     The Company had approximately 825,000 vision and 6,000 hearing cardholders
as of February 28, 1999, compared to approximately 676,000 vision and 6,500
hearing cardholders as of February 28, 1998. The increase in vision and hearing
revenue during the current quarter and nine months was largely the result of the
two vision plan Sponsors mentioned above. Other changes in the number of vision
and hearing cardholders occurred due to Sponsors' employee or Member
fluctuations in the normal course of business. Vision provider fee revenue
remained constant in the current quarter as compared to the same quarter in the
previous fiscal year. This resulted from a similar utilization rate and total
membership of plan benefits in which Providers are required to pay the fee.

     The Company had approximately 150,000 and 129,000 dental cardholders as of
February 28, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The Company's dental program revenue
has declined slightly while the number of cardholders has increased. This
situation is caused by the different prices charged per cardholder related to
the level of benefit provided, as previously discussed.

     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. The increase in Cost of Services from
the prior year resulted from additional claims expenses from the increase of
managed care business and payroll for increased staff in the customer service
and claims departments. Cost of Services and General and Administrative expenses
continued to decrease as a percentage of total service revenues during the
quarter and nine months ended February 28, 1999, as compared to the same periods
in fiscal 1998. This is due to the efficiencies of scale that the Company is
experiencing as its Total Service Revenues and Cardholder base continues to
grow.

     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 current period was primarily due to the addition
of an experienced salesperson during September 1998 and the increase of
commissions directly related to the Company's increased administrative fee
revenues. 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 $2,452,265 as of February 28,
1999, compared to $993,610 as of May 31, 1998. The increase of $1,458,655 is
primarily due to the Company's continued ability to reduce expenses, emphasize
timely collections of accounts receivable, advantageously time payments to
vendors during the nine-month period and the exercise of stock options and
warrants during August 1998, reduced by the cost of repurchased and retired
common and preferred stock. The Company is maintaining its policy of paying
vendors on a net 45-day basis and continues to remain current on all of its
trade accounts payable. Current cash on hand and cash provided from operations
is expected to allow the Company to sustain operations for the foreseeable
future.

     The Company is party to a revolving credit facility for an amount not to
exceed $100,000. The credit facility allows the Company to better manage its
cash liquidity. To date, the Company has never drawn funds on the credit
facility.

     As of February 28, 1999, the Company had $1,635,255 of Accounts Payable,
compared to $1,106,165 as of May 31, 1998. The increase is predominately due to
reserves for claims of $1,327,606 as of February 28, 1999, compared to $786,052
as of May 31, 1998, included in Accounts Payable. 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 and its experience.

     During the fiscal year ended May 31, 1998, the Company retired the final
$189,000 of Convertible Subordinated Debentures, due December 1, 1997, and all
$160,000 of subordinated notes payable to certain affiliates due March 18, 1998,
with funds provided by operations. Accordingly, there are no amounts listed as
interest for Debentures or Notes payable to stockholders during the current
quarter on the Statements of Cash Flows.

     On December 16, 1998, the Company entered into a lease agreement to expand
its current principal office location by approximately 3,200 square feet. The
term of the lease will run concurrently with the current lease on the principal
office location and will expire on September 30, 2002. The additional space is
necessary to accommodate the growth of the Company's Customer Service
department.

    The Company expects to pay dividends of approximately $50,180 on the Series
A Preferred on June 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.

    The Company has reviewed all 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 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 vendors and clients
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 effected by
the failure of third parties to successfully address Year 2000 issues.
