In connection with the preparation of the Company's financial statements for the
fiscal year ended January 31, 1996, the Company  determined that the application
of its  accounting  policy  regarding  recognizing  revenues on its sales of its
software  products and related services did not comply in all instances with the
technical  requirements  and  interpretations  of  Statement  of Position  91-1,
"Software  Revenue  Recognition."  Accordingly,  the Company has reevaluated and
revised its revenue  recognition for the affected  transactions and has restated
its previously  reported  accumulated deficit for the cumulative effect of these
matters.  Additionally,  the Company's fiscal 1995 annual consolidated financial
statements and fiscal 1996 quarterly consolidated financial statements have also
been restated.  The effect of the change on the Company's  operating results for
the quarter and nine month period ended October 31, 1995 is as follows:

The consolidated  financial  statements,  which include the accounts of National
Health Enhancement Systems, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively
the  "Company"),  have been  prepared  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted
accounting  principles  for  interim  financial  information  and the  rules and
regulations  of the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission  specifically  to Form
10-QSB.  Accordingly  they do not  include  all the  financial  information  and
footnotes  required by generally  accepted  accounting  principles  for complete
financial statements.  In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited
financial  statements  contain  all  adjustments   (consisting  of  only  normal
recurring adjustments)  necessary to present fairly financial position,  results
of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented.

Certain  financial  statement items from prior periods have been reclassified to
be consistent with the current period financial  statement  presentation.  It is
suggested  that  these  financial  statements  be read in  conjunction  with the
financial  statements  and the related  disclosures  contained in the  Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-KSB/A  filed for the fiscal year ended January 31, 1996
with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended October 31,
1996 are not  necessarily  indicative of the results to be expected for the full
fiscal year.

A valuation  allowance is provided when it is uncertain  that some or all of the
deferred tax asset will be  recognized.  As of October 31, 1996, the decrease in
the valuation  allowance  results from changes in temporary  differences and net
operating loss carry forwards.

Stockholders' Equity

On July 23, 1996, the Company  completed a private  placement  where the Company
sold and issued 166,667 shares of restricted  common stock at $4.50 per share to
two investors  and received  proceeds of $750,000.  The  investors  have certain
demand and piggyback  registration rights. The investors are affiliates of Beech

Restatement of Financial Statements
- -----------------------------------

In connection with the preparation of the Company's financial statements for the
fiscal year ended January 31, 1996, the Company  determined that the application
of its accounting policy regarding recognizing revenues on its sales of software
products and related services did not comply in all instances with the technical
requirements  and  interpretations  of  Statement  of Position  91-1,  "Software
Revenue Recognition."  Accordingly,  the Company has reevaluated and revised its
revenue  recognition  for  the  affected   transactions  and  has  restated  its
previously  reported  accumulated  deficit  for the  cumulative  effect of these
matters.  Additionally,  the Company's fiscal 1995 annual consolidated financial
statements and its fiscal 1996 quarterly  consolidated financial statements have
also been restated.  See Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated  Financial  Statements.
The information in the following  discussion is presented  after  restatement of
the financial statements for the quarter and nine months ended October 31, 1995.

Background and Recent Developments
- ----------------------------------

During the fiscal year ended January 31, 1996, and continuing through the period
ended October 31, 1996 the Company  continued to invest  resources to expand and
improve its sales function and also invested to support its product  development
efforts and the recently launched personal health management service bureau call
center (see discussion below). As a result, operating expenses increased and are
expected to continue at current or increasing  levels.  The Company  believes it
will be  necessary  to continue  to invest  resources  to support the  Company's
growth plans and client  obligations.  The  continuing  investment  in the sales
function, product development and personal health management service bureau call
center is part of management's  strategy to increase revenues.  While management
believes  this  strategy  will  result  in  increased  revenues,  there  are  no
assurances that future revenues will increase.

The Company's  operations  are also currently  being affected by  consolidation,
alliances and mergers in the healthcare industry.  Nonetheless,  and while there
are no  assurances,  the  Company's  management  believes  that its  competitive
strengths will permit it to continue to compete in its targeted  market and that
the Company is positioned favorably to take advantage of future opportunities in
the healthcare market. The Company's  management believes that healthcare reform
will continue to shift to a managed care environment.  The Company's  management
also believes its products help healthcare  providers improve their services and
also  help  reduce  healthcare  costs  by  providing  objective  information  on
healthcare issues to individuals  thereby enabling them to make informed choices
about when,  where and how to seek  healthcare  services  and reduce  healthcare
costs.  Nonetheless,  the Company's  operations  may be materially and adversely
affected by continuing  consolidation,  alliances and mergers in the  healthcare
industry,  healthcare  reform in the  private  or public  sector,  and by future
economic conditions.

In July 1996, the Company launched its personal health management service bureau
call center. The personal health management service bureau is a telephone advice
line  whereby  eligible  participants  are able to access,  through a  toll-free
telephone  number,  nurses  or  pre-recorded  information  to  answer  or obtain
information  on health  related  issues.  The Company  operates this call center
service bureau  twenty-four (24) hours a day, seven (7) days a week, by staffing
the call center  service  bureau with the Company's  own nurses and  proprietary
technology.  Establishment  and  operation  of the medical  call center  service
bureau involves numerous risks,  including risks associated with launching a new
venture,  diversion of management's attention from other business concerns, loss
of  capital,  risks of  entering  markets in which the Company has limited or no
direct prior  experience and competition in a market where there is at least one
established  competitor with  significantly  greater resources than the Company.
There are no assurances the Company will be able to  successfully  penetrate the
market and grow the medical  call center  service  bureau  business.  Successful
operation of the newly launched  medical call center service bureau is dependent
on a number of factors,  including the Company  maintaining  adequate capital to
continue to fund the medical call center service bureau's operations, growth and
working capital needs.

On July 21, 1996, the Company  entered into a distribution  agreement and a call
center  services  management  agreement  with Beech Street  Corporation  ("Beech
Street").  The  distribution  agreement  enables Beech Street to distribute  the
Company's personal health management  services to Beech Street customers.  Under
the call center services management agreement,  the Company will provide certain
call center  services and expertise  over a 12-month  period to Beech Street for
$1,245,000.  The Company is receiving payments for the services provided and the
revenue under the contract is recognized based on a percent of completion. As of
October 31,1996 approximately  $478,000 had been recognized which is included in
the Company's marketing services revenue.

On July 23, 1996, the Company  completed a private  placement  where the Company
issued 166,667  shares of restricted  common stock to two investors and received
proceeds  of  $750,000.  The  investors  are  affiliates  of Beech  Street.  The
investors have certain demand and piggyback registration rights.

On December 22, 1995 the Company  entered into a  development  and  distribution
agreement with Pfizer Health  Solutions Inc.,  ("Pfizer") a subsidiary of Pfizer
Inc. Under the agreement the Company was to provide certain development services
and  products  to Pfizer for  $1,375,000.  As of October  31,  1996 the  Company
received  all  payments  due  under  the  agreement  and  delivered  on all  its
obligations.

Results of Operations
- ---------------------
Three Months Ended October 31, 1996 vs. Three Months Ended October 31, 1995
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Income.  For the quarter ended  October 31, 1996,  the Company had net income of
$895,193  compared to net income of $ 217,316 for the quarter  ended October 31,
1995.

Revenues  and  operating  results  depend  primarily on the volume and timing of
orders  received  during each fiscal  quarter,  which are difficult to forecast.
Because a significant portion of the Company's operating expenses are relatively
fixed with personnel levels and other expenses based upon anticipated  revenues,
the  Company  may  not be able to  reduce  expenditures  in  response  to  sales
shortfalls or delays.  These factors could cause variations in operating results
from quarter to quarter.

Revenues.  Total  revenues  increased  approximately  60% to $7,712,676  for the
quarter ended October 31, 1996 from $4,820,088 for the quarter ended October 31,
1995.  The increase is primarily  attributed to increases in revenues  generated
from both  initial  license  fees and support  fees which  included  revenues of
approximately  $550,000 of initial  license  fee  revenues  from  Pfizer  Health
Solutions  Inc. and  approximately  $300,000 of service fee revenues  from Beech
Street.

Initial license fees primarily  represent  revenues from the initial sale of the
Company's medical call center products such as Centramax Plus and voice response
products.  Revenue from initial  license fees  increased to  $3,932,883  for the
quarter ended October 31, 1996,  from  $2,648,379  for the quarter ended October
31, 1995.  Approximately $800,000 of the initial fee revenue was attributable to
contracts  which were delayed from the second quarter to the third.  As a result
initial license fee revenue and  corresponding  net income for the quarter ended
October 31, 1996 were higher than in prior quarters.

Support,  marketing  services  and material  revenues  were  $3,779,793  for the
quarter  ended  October 31, 1996  compared to  $2,171,709  for the quarter ended
October 31,  1995.  The  increase in support,  marketing  services  and material
revenues is primarily  attributed  to an increase in support fee revenues  which
represent charges to the Company's  licensees,  as provided for in the Company's
license  agreements,  for continued use of the products and for ongoing software
maintenance  and  enhancements to the products.  Historically,  the support fees
began within six to twelve months after a customer executed a license agreement.
The Company has recently modified the support fee terms to begin on the contract
date. Revenue generated from support fees increased approximately $1 million for
the quarter  ended  October 31, 1996  compared to the quarter  ended October 31,
1995,  primarily  as a result of the  increase  in the total  number of  product
license agreements.  The Company believes that as the number of customers it has
for all products  increases,  revenues generated from support fees will continue
to increase. Revenues generated from the sale of materials represent the sale of
printed  questionnaires and reports from the Company's Patient Assessment System
("PAS") and Health Direct  products.  The revenue from the sale of materials for
the quarter ended  October 31, 1996  increased  approximately  $132,000 from the
quarter  ended October 31, 1995.  For the remainder of its current  fiscal year,
the  Company  does not expect any  significant  increase  or  decrease in future
revenues associated with the PAS and Health Direct products.  Marketing services
represents  revenue from strategic and creative  services provided and generated
by the Company's  subsidiary  First Strategic Group ("FSG") and other consulting
services.  Revenues  from  marketing  services for the quarter ended October 31,
1996 were  approximately  $500,000 higher of which $300,000 is from Beech Street
than the quarter  ended October 31, 1995 due primarily to an increase in new FSG
consulting  engagements and other consulting and management services provided by
the Company.
                                       11
<PAGE>
Operating  Expenses.  Total operating  expenses  increased  approximately 45% to
$6,667,483  for the  quarter  ended  October 31,  1996 from  $4,602,773  for the
quarter ended October 31, 1995. Total operating expenses increased primarily due
to an  increase  in  expenses  associated  with  selling,  product  support  and
development  and  variable  expenses  associated  with the  increase  in initial
license fee and support fee revenue.

Cost of  License  Fees,  Materials  and  Service  Revenues.  The cost of initial
license fees increased to $1,061,151 for the quarter ended October 31, 1996 from
$829,314 for the quarter ended  October 31, 1995.  The increase is primarily due
to costs  associated  with increased  sales of voice  response  products and the
increased costs of health information royalties.

Cost of support marketing  services and materials  revenues,  which includes the
cost  of  royalties,  printed  report  forms  and  questionnaires  sold  to  PAS
licensees,  the costs of materials associated with the Health Direct product and
costs  associated  with FSG services  revenue,  increased to $1,160,080  for the
quarter  ended  October 31, 1996 from $867,775 for the quarter ended October 31,
1995. The increase is primarily a result of costs  associated with the increased
health information royalty and marketing service revenues from FSG.

Selling,   Product  Support  and  Development.   Selling,  product  support  and
development  expenses  increased to $3,444,351 for the quarter ended October 31,
1996 from  $2,244,076  for the quarter ended  October 31, 1995.  The increase is
primarily  attributable to increases in the Company's sales, product support and
development  staffs, and the expansion of the technical support staff as well as
increased costs associated with supporting  these increased  staffing levels and
expenses  associated  with the launch of the  personal  health  management  call
center service bureau.

General and  Administrative.  General and  administrative  expenses increased to
$574,217 for the quarter  ended  October 31, 1996 from  $343,550 for the quarter
ended October 31, 1995. The increase is primarily  attributable  to increases in
professional service fees and other general operating expenses.

Depreciation and Amortization.  Depreciation and amortization  expense increased
to $317,684 for the quarter ended October 31, 1996 from $240,057 for the quarter
ended  October 31,  1995.  This  increase is due to the  increased  depreciation
expense from additional  equipment purchases and amortization expense associated
with the additional software development costs.

Provision  for  Doubtful  Accounts.  The  provision  for  doubtful  accounts was
$110,000  for the quarter  ended  October  31, 1996  compared to $78,000 for the
quarter  ended  October 31, 1995.  The increase is  attributed  to the Company's
increase  in its  allowance  for  doubtful  accounts to  adequately  reserve for
potential uncollectible accounts receivable.

Nine Months Ended October 31, 1996 vs. Nine Months Ended October 31, 1995
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------

Income/Loss.  For the nine months ended  October 31,  1996,  the Company had net
income of $548,471  compared to a net loss of $54,513 for the nine months  ended
October 31, 1995.

Revenue.  Total revenue increased  approximately 51% to $17,800,709 for the nine
months ended October 31, 1996 from $11,788,856 for the nine months ended October
31, 1995.  The increase in revenue is due primarily to increases in both initial
license fee and support fee revenue.

Revenues from initial  license fees  increased to $8,943,729 for the nine months
ended  October 31, 1996 from  $5,982,637  for the nine months ended  October 31,
1995. The increase is due to an increase in the initial license fee revenue from
the Company's  medical call center product,  Centramax.  M Plus, and interactive
voice response products.

Support,  marketing service and material revenue increased to $8,856,980 for the
nine months  ended  October 31, 1996 from  $5,806,219  for the nine months ended
October 31, 1995. Revenue from support fees increased approximately $2.8 million
for the nine months ended  October 31, 1996 from the nine months  ended  October
31,  1995  due to the  increased  customer  base  and  related  product  license
agreements.  Revenue generated from the sale of materials and services decreased
approximately  $70,000 for the nine months ended  October 31, 1996 from the nine
months ended October 31, 1995 due to a decrease in sale of printed questionnaire
and  reports,  and from  decreased  revenue  from Health  Direct  subscriptions.
Revenues from 
                                       12
<PAGE>
marketing  services for the nine months ended  October 31, 1996 were higher than
the nine months  ended  October  31,  1995 due to an increase in new  consulting
engagements  from marketing  services  provided by FSG and from other consulting
services  provided by the Company to Beech Street and Pfizer  Health  Solutions,
Inc.

Operating  Expenses.  Total operating  expenses  increased  approximately 44% to
$17,102,238 for the nine months ended October 31, 1996 from  $11,843,369 for the
nine months ended October 31, 1995. The increase is due primarily to an increase
in certain expenses  associated with increases in sales and product  development
activities and variable expenses associated with increased revenues.

Cost of License Fees,  Materials and Service Revenues.  The cost of license fees
increased to $2,198,181 for the nine months ended October 31, 1996,  compared to
$1,351,362  for the nine months ended  October 31, 1995.  The increase is due to
variable  costs  associated  with  increased  initial  license fee  revenues and
increased costs of health information royalties.

Cost of support,  materials and service revenue  increased to $2,977,679 for the
nine months  ended  October 31, 1996 from  $1,832,527  for the nine months ended
October 31, 1995.  The increase is due to the  increased  cost  associated  with
increased revenue from support fees.

Selling,   Product  Support  and  Development.   Selling,  product  support  and
development  expenses  increased to $9,096,463 for the nine months ended October
31,  1996 from  $6,570,366  for the nine months  ended  October  31,  1995.  The
increase was due primarily to increased  sales,  product support and development
staffs and related expense to support the increased  staffing levels, as well as
expenses  associated with the launch of the Company's personal health management
call center  service  bureau.  These  increases in staff were,  in  management's
opinion,  necessary to expand product distribution,  support the Company product
development, and the launch of the medical call center service bureau as well as
expand the technical support function to service the Company's customers.

General and  Administrative.  General and  administrative  expenses increased to
$1,736,105  for the nine months ended October 31, 1996 from  $1,297,893  for the
nine months ended October 31, 1995. The increase is primarily attributable to an
increase in professional service and other general operating expenses.

Depreciation and Amortization.  Depreciation and amortization  expense increased
to $853,810  for the nine months  ended  October 31, 1996 from  $641,721 for the
nine  months  ended  October 31,  1995.  This  increase is due to the  increased
depreciation  expense  from  additional  equipment  purchases  and  amortization
expense associated with software development costs.

Provision  for  Doubtful  Accounts.  The  provision  for  doubtful  accounts was
$240,000 for the nine months ended October 31, 1996 compared to $149,500 for the
nine months ended October 31, 1995.  The increase is attributed to the Company's
increase  in its  allowance  for  doubtful  accounts to  adequately  reserve for
potential uncollectible accounts receivable.

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

As of October  31,  1996,  the Company had a working  capital  deficit  (current
assets minus  current  liabilities)  of $881,490  compared to a working  capital
deficit of $1,349,989  as of January 31, 1996.  The  Company's  working  capital
position  improved  as a result of  improved  operating  income and the  private
placement  discussed below. The Company's accounts  receivable balance increased
to  $7,613,462  at October 31, 1996 from  $5,735,778  at January 31,  1996.  The
increase in accounts  receivable resulted from the increased revenues associated
with both initial license fee revenue and support fees.

On July 23, 1996, the Company  completed a private placement whereby the Company
issued 166,667 shares of common stock to two investors and received  proceeds of
$750,000.  The investors are affiliates of Beech Street.  Subsequently on August
22, 1996 one of the investors  was elected to the Company's  Board of Directors.
The investors also received certain demand and piggyback registration rights.

On October 23, 1996,  the Company  renewed and increased  its revolving  line of
credit  from  $2,000,000  to  $2,500,000.  The  revolving  line of credit  bears
interest  at prime plus 2.0%,  is secured  by  substantially  all the  Company's
assets and  matures in October,  1997.  The  availability  of  borrowing  on the
revolving line of credit is subject to available  eligible  accounts  receivable
and certain other covenants.  The Company also has a line of credit of $500,000,
from the same  lender.  The  $500,000  line of credit  is  secured  by  accounts
receivable and  equipment.  Interest is paid monthly on the unpaid balance at an
annual rate of one  percentage  point above the prime rate.  The  $500,000  line
matured in November  1996 and the Company did not renew this line of credit.  At
October 31, 1996, $400,000 was outstanding under those credit lines.

The  Company  is  currently  dependent  on cash from  operations  and  available
proceeds from its lines of credit for its daily  operational cash  requirements.
Successful  operation of the personal  health  management  services  call center
service bureau is dependent  upon,  among other things,  maintaining  sufficient
capital to continue to fund the operations,  growth and working capital needs of
the call center service bureau. The Company continues to evaluate  opportunities
to expand and  increase the existing  capital  available to it and  continues to
evaluate  opportunities  to reduce the  number of days it takes to  collect  the
initial fee accounts  receivable.  While the Company believes the recent private
placement,  line of  credit  and cash  flow from  operations  requirements  will
provide  the  Company  with its short  term cash  requirements  for its  current
operations  and the  operations  of the  recently  launched  medical call center
service bureau,  the Company will continue to actively seek alternative  sources
of capital to support  its future  growth,  including  the growth of the medical
call center service bureau.  There are, however,  no assurances that the Company
will be successful in obtaining additional capital.

The Company's  operating results continue to be inconsistent on a month-to-month
basis and are dependent  upon retention and  performance of the Company's  sales
staff,  long product  sales cycles  related in part to pricing of the  Company's
products  and  customer  budget  requirements,  and to  other  factors,  such as
uncertainties  associated  with the healthcare  market and economic  conditions,
beyond the  control of the  Company.  The  Company,  however,  will  continue to
evaluate methods to improve and increase its product  distribution  channels and
to enhance or expand its current  product lines.  The Company has expanded,  and
will seek to continue to improve and enhance,  its product  lines in order to be
more responsive to the market. The Company's  management believes that quarterly
operating  results are  dependent,  and will  continue to be  dependent,  on the
initial license fee revenues in the foreseeable  future.  The recurring  monthly
revenue  from  support  fees,  material  sales and  services  is  currently  not
sufficient  to maintain a break-even  level at the Company's  current  operating
expense levels. The Company will continue to focus its efforts on improving cash
from  operations,  increasing  recurring  revenue,  and increasing its operating
income.

The Company  intends to continue to invest in product and software  development,
which will require additional support staff and related operating expenses.  The
Company has expanded its current office space and has leased an additional 5,000
square  feet of office  space for its  recently  launched  medical  call  center
service bureau. In addition, the Company has made certain capital commitments of
approximately  $85,000  related to certain  equipment.  The Company expects that
additional space will be taken and staff will be hired during its current fiscal
year (ending  January 31, 1997) for its current  operations and for the recently
launched  medical call center service bureau and  additional  capital  resources
will be needed to fund this growth and expansion.
                                       14
<PAGE>
In the past,  the  Company  has funded its growth  primarily  through  cash from
operations and its line of credit. While the Company believes the recent private
placement,  existing line of credit and cash flow from  operations  will provide
the Company with its short-term cash requirements for its current operations and
the operations of the recently launched medical call center service bureau,  the
Company  believes that  additional  capital will be necessary to support  future
operations and planned growth in the coming fiscal year, including for expanding
its medical  call center  service  bureau  operations,  and is actively  seeking
sources of such capital. While the Company believes there are sufficient sources
to obtain  capital,  there are no  assurances  the Company will be successful in
raising additional capital to support planned growth.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION


     ITEM 1.      Legal Proceedings

                  The Company is subject to certain legal proceedings and claims
                  that arise in the conduct of its  business.  In the opinion of
                  management,  the amount of  liability,  if any, as a result of
                  the  claims and  proceedings  is not likely to have a material
                  effect on the financial  condition or results of operations of
                  the Company.
