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. ACCOUNTING FOR SOUTHERN STATES EYE CARE, LLC ASSET ACQUISITION

     On March 24, 2000, the Company purchased substantially all of the assets of
Southern  States Eye Care,  LLC for an  aggregate  purchase  price of  $549,342,
including transaction related costs of $36,842. The total purchase price for the
acquisition comprised $250,000 cash and the issuance of 350,000 shares of common
stock valued at $0.75 per share.  The  acquisition  was  accounted for under the
purchase  method.  Results of  operations  are being  recorded  from the date of
acquisition.  The Company recorded preliminary  purchase accounting  adjustments
based on the  relative  fair value of the  assets  acquired.  Goodwill  is being
amortized over eight years on a straight-line basis.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS FOR THE SIX
        MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 AND 1999

     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  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 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.

     As  previously  reported on a Form 8-K filed on April 7, 2000, on March 24,
2000 the Company  purchased  substantially  all of the assets of Southern States
Eye Care, LLC ("SSEC"),  including but not limited to the name "Southern  States
Eye Care",  service marks, trade marks,  trade names,  current client contracts,
provider contracts and managed care contracts.  The aggregate purchase price for
the acquisition  was $250,000 and 350,000 shares of the Company's  Common Stock.
The Company used its existing cash to finance the purchase.  The  acquisition of
SSEC  broadens the Company's  client base and  increases  the  Company's  vision
provider  network in Georgia,  Alabama and North Carolina.  The Company is using
the acquired  assets to continue  SSEC's  current  lines of business,  which the
Company is operating out of its corporate headquarters in Phoenix, Arizona.

</TABLE>

     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.  Two major
Sponsors  accounted for 28% and 14% of total service  revenues in the six months
ended June 30, 2000, and two major  Sponsors  accounted for 48% and 14% of total
service  revenues  in the six  months  ended  June  30,  1999.  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  decrease in total  service  revenues in the six months  ended June 30,
2000 is  principally  due to a vision  plan  Sponsor  that is not  renewing  the
benefit for their  Members upon their annual  renewal but instead is providing a
lesser benefit  internally.  As of June 30, 2000, the Company had  approximately
79,000 Members from this Sponsor,  as compared to approximately  192,000 Members
as of December 31, 1999 and  approximately  229,000 Members as of June 30, 1999.
The  Company  expects  to lose a  significant  portion of the  remaining  79,000
Members from this Sponsor as they renew their benefits during the upcoming year.
The Company's vision and hearing revenue received from this Sponsor decreased by
approximately  $1,300,000  during the six months ended June 30, 2000 as compared
to the six months ended June 30, 1999.

     The Company had  approximately  1,770,000 vision and 12,300 hearing Members
as of June 30, 2000, compared to approximately  699,000 vision and 7,500 hearing
Members as of June 30, 1999.  The vision Member count for June 30, 2000 includes
approximately  1,174,000 Members received through the transaction with SSEC. The
vision and hearing revenue  derived from the Sponsors from the SSEC  transaction
accounted for 15% of the Company's total service  revenues for the quarter ended
June 30, 2000, and 9% of the Company's total service revenues for the six months
ended June 30,  2000.  The revenue and profit  expected to be derived per Member
under SSEC's vision benefit  program,  in general,  is less than the revenue and
profit  derived from the Sponsor that  decreased  its  Membership,  as described
above,  due to the  provision of a different  level of benefit.  The decrease in
vision and hearing revenue during the current quarter and six months was largely
the result of the vision plan  Sponsor  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 vision provider fee
revenue decreased in the quarter and six month period ended June 30, 2000 due to
reduced claims  experience in the benefit  programs under which  Providers pay a
marketing fee.

                                       -8-

     The Company had approximately 73,000 dental Members as of June 30, 2000 and
153,000 dental Members as of June 30, 1999. The decline of the Company's  dental
program revenue and membership resulted from two Sponsors'  discontinuation of a
benefit  program that  resulted in a loss of  approximately  55,000  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.

     To minimize  the  Company's  risk  related to its  dependence  on a limited
number of  Sponsors,  the  Company has  developed  the Avesis  Advantage  Vision
Program and the Avesis  Advantage  Dental Program.  These insured products allow
the Company to market and contract  directly  with  employers,  unions and other
groups  either  through  the  Company's  internal  sales  staff  or  the  broker
community.  The Company  derived its first  revenues  from its Avesis  Advantage
Vision Program in December 1999, and had approximately  1,100 Members as of June
30,  2000.  The  Company  expects to derive its first  revenues  from the Avesis
Advantage Dental Program in the fourth quarter of calendar 2000.

     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 and dental 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 as a percentage  of total
service  revenues in the  current  quarter as compared to the same period in the
prior year  resulted  from an increase in claims  experience  as a percentage of
revenue from the newly acquired accounts from SSEC, as mentioned above.

     General and  Administrative  expenses  increased as a  percentage  of total
service  revenue  during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2000 compared
to the corresponding  periods in the prior year due to increases in depreciation
and amortization related to the Company's new computer systems,  amortization of
goodwill  created  by the SSEC  transaction,  increases  in  payroll  related to
administrative  functions  and  increases  in the payments  under the  Company's
Management  Agreement and Investment  Advisor  Agreement,  both with  affiliated
entities.

     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.
Selling  and  marketing  expenses  declined  slightly as a  percentage  of total
service  revenue  during  the  quarter  and six months  ended  June 30,  2000 as
compared  to the  corresponding  periods in the prior year due to the absence of
sales commissions on the newly acquired SSEC accounts.  A significant  amount of
the  Company's  marketing   activities  has  been  outsourced  to  a  management
consultant, National Health Enterprises (an affiliate).

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The  Company had cash and cash  equivalents  of  $2,229,226  as of June 30,
2000,  compared to $2,483,739 as of December 31, 1999.  The decrease of $254,513
is primarily due to the Company's  cash payment of $250,000 for the  acquisition
of the assets of Southern  States Eye Care, LLC on March 25, 2000.  Current cash
on hand and cash  provided  from  operations is expected to allow the Company to
sustain operations for the foreseeable future.

     On July 18, 2000,  the Company's  Board of Directors  approved a resolution
authorizing the Company to pursue the  establishment of a new venture in HIV and
infectious disease  treatment.  The Company's Board further authorized a maximum
of $500,000 to be allocated to the initial start-up and operational  expenses of
the venture, subject to certain oversight and approval by the Board. The Company
has allocated  approximately  $200,000 for the build-out of the facility and the
purchase of medical and office  equipment,  and  approximately  $150,000 to fund
negative cash flow prior to the opening of the first center and during the first
few months of its  operation.  The  Company  expects  its first  facility  to be
operational in the fourth quarter of calendar 2000.

     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 June 30, 2000, the Company had $581,172 of Accounts Payable, compared
to $679,649 as of December 31, 1999.  Included in Accounts  Payable are reserves
for claims of  $332,819 as of June 30,  2000,  and  $489,814 as of December  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.

YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

     The Company so far has  experienced  no disruptions in the operation of its
internal information systems during the transition to the year 2000. The Company
is not aware  that any of its  vendors or clients  experienced  any  disruptions
during  their  transition  to the year 2000 or that there has been any year 2000
issues with its  services  provided.  The Company  will  continue to monitor the
transition  to year 2000 and will act  promptly  to resolve  any  problems  that
occur.  If  the  Company  or any  third  parties  with  which  it  has  business
relationships  experience problems related to the year 2000 transition that have
not yet been discovered, it could have a material adverse impact on the Company.
