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.  Credit Facility

     On November 16, 1998, the Company entered into a revolving credit facility
agreement with Norwest Bank Arizona, N.A. to provide a sum not to exceed
$100,000 at an interest rate of prime plus one and one half percent (1.5%) with
an initial maturity date of November 1, 1999. The credit facility is
collateralized by the Company's accounts receivable, inventory, equipment and
general intangibles. The purpose of the credit facility is to cover short term
operating needs pending the collection of accounts receivable. The Company has
not used the revolving credit facility during 1998.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS FOR THE SIX
        MONTHS ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 1998 AND 1997

     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 200 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 six months ended November 30, 1998 and 1997:

     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 81% and 78% of the total administration fee revenue for the six
months ended November 30, 1998 and 1997, 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, over the prior year, and a second vision plan Sponsor which
added approximately 33,000 Cardholders during May 1998.

                                       -8-

     The Company had approximately 771,000 vision and 6,000 hearing cardholders
as of November 30, 1998, compared to approximately 629,000 vision and 6,600
hearing cardholders as of November 30, 1997. The increase in vision and hearing
revenue during the current quarter and six 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. The increase in vision provider
fee revenue resulted from an increase in Members participating in a Plan under
which the Providers are required to pay the fee.

     The Company had approximately 160,000 and 127,000 dental cardholders as of
November 30, 1998 and 1997, 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
decreased slightly as a percentage of total service revenues during the quarter
and six months ended November 30, 1998, as compared to the same periods in
fiscal 1997. This is due to the efficiencies of scale that the Company is
starting to realize 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 a senior 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 $2,126,195 as of November 30,
1998, compared to $993,610 as of May 31, 1998. The increase of $1,132,585 is
primarily due to the Company's continued ability to reduce expenses, increase
timely collections of accounts receivable, advantageously time payments to
vendors during the six month period and the exercise of stock options and
warrants during August 1998. The Company is maintaining its policy of paying
vendors on a net 45-day basis and continues to be 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.

     As discussed in Note 4 to the financial statements, the Company entered
into a revolving credit facility on November 16, 1998 for an amount not to
exceed $100,000. The credit facility allows the Company to better manage its
cash liquidity.

     As of November 30, 1998, the Company had $1,419,567 of Accounts Payable,
compared to $1,106,165 as of May 31, 1998. The increase is predominately due to
reserves for claims of $1,139,764 as of November 30, 1998, 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.

     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.

     The Company paid dividends of $51,715 on the Series A Preferred Stock on
December 1, 1998. This amount was included in Accrued Expenses on the Balance
Sheet as of November 30, 1998.

     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.

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 the
new 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. 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. Therefore, the Company believes that its risks related to
disruption arising from Year 2000 compliance by vendors and its clients are
minimal.
