     INTERSTATE NATIONAL DEALER SERVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



1. The  interim  consolidated  financial  statements  included  herein have been
prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of
the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission.  Certain  information  and  footnote
disclosures  normally  included in financial  statements  prepared in accordance
with generally  accepted  accounting  principles have been condensed or omitted.
These financial  statements  should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial  statements and notes thereto  included in the Company's Annual Report
on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended October 31, 1997.

2. In the  opinion  of the  Company,  the  accompanying  unaudited  consolidated
financial  statements  contain  all  adjustments   (consisting  of  only  normal
recurring  accruals)  necessary to present  fairly the financial  position as of
July 31, 1998,  and the  consolidated  results of operations and cash flows for
the periods ended July 31, 1998 and 1997. The accounting  policies  followed by
the Company are set forth in the  Company's  consolidated  financial  statements
included in the Annual Report mentioned above.

3. The consolidated results of operations for the nine and three month periods
ended July 31, 1998 and 1997 are not  necessarily  indicative of the results to
be expected for the full year.

4. The Company  reports  earnings per share in accordance with the provisions of
Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards  ("SFAS") No. 128,  "Earnings  Per
Share."  Basic net income per share  ("Basic  EPS") is computed by dividing  net
income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.  Diluted net
income per share  ("Diluted  EPS") is  computed  by  dividing  net income by the
weighted  average number of common shares and dilutive common share  equivalents
then  outstanding.  SFAS No. 128 requires the presentation of both Basic EPS and
Diluted  EPS on the face of the  statements  of  operations.  

A  reconciliation  between the numerators and  denominators of Basic and Diluted
EPS is as follows:

5. In June 1998, the Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board issued SFAS No.133,
"Accounting for Derivative  Instruments and Hedging  Activities ". The Statement
establishes  accounting and reporting  standards requiring that every derivative
instrument   (including  certain  derivative   instruments   embedded  in  other
contracts)  be  recorded in the  balance  sheet as either an asset or  liability
measured  at  its  fair  value.  The  Statement  requires  that  changes  in the
derivative's  fair value be  recognized  currently in earnings  unless  specific
hedge  accounting  criteria are met.  Special  accounting for qualifying  hedges
allows a derivative's  gains and losses to offset related  results on the hedged
item  in the  income  statement,  and  requires  that a  company  must  formally
document,  designate,  and assess the effectiveness of transactions that receive
hedge accounting.

SFAS No.133 is effective  for fiscal years  beginning  after June 15, 1999.  The
Company does not use derivatives or hedging instruments,  and therefore this new
pronouncement is not applicable.


Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
        of Operations

Results of Operations

    For the Nine Months  ended July 31, 1998  compared to the Nine Months  ended
July 31, 1997

    Revenues  increased  approximately  $10,278,000,  or 40%,  to  approximately
$35,876,000 for the nine months ended July 31, 1998 as compared to approximately
$25,598,000 for the nine months ended July 31, 1997. This increase was primarily
due to: (i) a  significant  increase in the  recognition  of  deferred  contract
revenue as a result of an  increase  in the total  number of  unexpired  service
contracts   under   administration;   and  (ii)  a   significant   increase   in
administrative  and insurance  fees  resulting from an increase in the number of
service contracts accepted for administration by the Company in fiscal 1998. The
increase in the number of service contracts accepted for  administration  during
fiscal  1998 was  primarily  due to the  aggressive  efforts  by the  Company in
enrolling  additional  producers  to sell the  Company's  products and to a more
diversified array of products offered by the Company.

    Costs  of  services   provided,   which  consist  primarily  of  claims  and
cancellation  costs,   increased  by  approximately   $6,893,000,   or  66%,  to
approximately  $17,333,000  for the nine months ended July 31, 1998, as compared
to  approximately  $10,440,000  for the nine months  ended July 31,  1997.  As a

<PAGE>

percentage of revenues,  cost of services provided increased to 48% for the nine
months ended July 31, 1998 as compared to 41% in the same period in 1997. Claims
and  cancellation  costs are directly  affected by the total number of unexpired
contracts under administration, which has increased on a yearly basis.

    Gross margin increased by approximately $3,384,000, or 22%, to approximately
$18,542,000   for  the  nine  months  ended  July  31,  1998,   as  compared  to
approximately $15,158,000 for the nine months ended July 31, 1997. This increase
is primarily  attributable to the increase in revenues as described above. Gross
margin for the nine  months  ended July 31,  1998 was 52% as compared to 59% for
the nine months ended July 30, 1997. This decrease is primarily  attributable to
an  increase  in the  relative  percentage  of revenue  represented  by deferred
contract  revenue,  which has a low gross margin,  as compared to administrative
fees which have a higher gross margin.

    Selling,  general and  administrative  expenses  increased by  approximately
$2,939,000,  or 22%, to approximately $16,040,000 for the nine months ended July
31, 1998, up from  approximately  $13,101,000 for the nine months ended July 31,
1997.  This increase was in large part due to (i) increases in selling  expenses
primarily  due to  increased  commissions  paid as a result of  increased  sales
volume;  and (ii)  increases  in  general  and  administrative  expenses  due to
increased  personnel and postage costs resulting from increased sales volume and
to  the  development  of new  service  contract  products.  As a  percentage  of
revenues,  selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to 45% for the
nine months ended July 31, 1998 as compared to 51% in the same period in 1997.

    Other  income,  net  increased  by  approximately  $1,055,000  or  206%,  to
approximately $1,568,000 for the nine months ended July 31, 1998, as compared to
approximately $513,000 for the nine months ended July 31, 1997. This increase is
partially  attributable  to other income of $500,000  received by the Company in
settlement of a dispute with an unaffiliated party in the first quarter of 1998.
The  balance  of the  increase  of  $555,000  was the result of an  increase  in
investment  income  generated by funds provided by the exercise of the Company's
outstanding  warrants  in  October  1997  and by  funds  provided  by  operating
activities.

    For the nine months  ended July 31,  1998,  the  Company  had income  before
income taxes of  approximately  $4,070,000  and recorded a provision  for income
taxes of approximately  $1,602,000, as compared to income before income taxes of
approximately  $2,571,000  and a  provision  for income  taxes of  approximately
$1,027,000  in the same  period  in 1997.  Net  income  increased  approximately
$924,000, or 60%, to approximately $2,468,000 for the nine months ended July 31,
1998 as compared to approximately  $1,544,000 for the nine months ended July 31,
1997.

    For the Three Months ended July 31, 1998  compared to the Three Months ended
July 31, 1997

    Revenues  increased  approximately  $3,161,000,  or  30%,  to  approximately
$13,775,000   for  the  three   months  ended  July  31,  1998  as  compared  to
approximately  $10,614,000  for the  three  months  ended  July 31,  1997.  This
increase was primarily due to: (i) a significant  increase in the recognition of
deferred  contract  revenue as a result of an  increase  in the total  number of
unexpired  service  contracts  under  administration;  and  (ii)  a  significant
increase in administrative  and insurance fees resulting from an increase in the
number of service contracts accepted for administration by the Company in fiscal
1998.   The   increase  in  the  number  of  service   contracts   accepted  for
administration during fiscal 1998 was primarily due to the aggressive efforts by
the Company in enrolling additional producers to sell the Company's products and
to a more diversified array of products offered by the Company.

    Costs  of  services   provided,   which  consist  primarily  of  claims  and
cancellation  costs,   increased  by  approximately   $2,060,000,   or  44%,  to
approximately  $6,713,000  for the three months ended July 31, 1998, as compared
to  approximately  $4,653,000  for the three months  ended July 31,  1997.  As a
percentage of revenues, cost of services provided increased to 49% for the three
months ended July 31, 1998 as compared to 44% in the same period in 1997. Claims
and  cancellation  costs are directly  affected by the total number of unexpired
contracts under administration, which has increased on a yearly basis.

    Gross margin increased by approximately $1,101,000, or 18%, to approximately
$7,062,000   for  the  three  months  ended  July  31,  1998,   as  compared  to
approximately $5,961,000 for the three months ended July 31, 1997. This increase
is primarily  attributable to the increase in revenues as described above. Gross
margin for the three  months  ended July 31, 1998 was 51% as compared to 56% for
the three months ended July 31, 1997. This decrease is primarily attributable to
an  increase  in the  relative  percentage  of revenue  represented  by deferred

<PAGE>

contract  revenue,  which has a low gross margin,  as compared to administrative
fees which have a higher gross margin.

    Selling,  general and  administrative  expenses  increased by  approximately
$897,000,  or 18%, to  approximately  $5,942,000 for the three months ended July
31, 1998, up from  approximately  $5,045,000 for the three months ended July 31,
1997.  This increase was in large part due to (i) increases in selling  expenses
primarily  due to  increased  commissions  paid as a result of  increased  sales
volume; and (ii) increases in general and administrative  expenses due, in part,
to increased  personnel  costs  resulting from increased sales volume and to the
development  of new service  contract  products.  As a  percentage  of revenues,
selling,  general and  administrative  expenses  decreased  to 43% for the three
months ended July 31, 1998 as compared to 48% in the same period in 1997.

    Other  income,   net  increased  by  approximately   $201,000  or  108%,  to
approximately  $388,000 for the three months ended July 31, 1998, as compared to
approximately  $187,000 for the three months ended July 31, 1997.  This increase
is primarily attributable to an increase in investment income generated by funds
provided by the exercise of the Company's  outstanding  warrants in October 1997
and by funds provided by operating activities.

    For the three  months  ended July 31,  1998,  the Company had income  before
income taxes of  approximately  $1,509,000  and recorded a provision  for income
taxes of  approximately  $594,000,  as compared to income before income taxes of
approximately  $1,103,000  and a  provision  for income  taxes of  approximately
$441,000  in the  same  period  in  1997.  Net  income  increased  approximately
$253,000, or 38%, to approximately  $915,000 for the three months ended July 31,
1998 as compared to  approximately  $662,000 for the three months ended July 31,
1997.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

    Cash and cash  equivalents  and United States  Treasury Notes, at cost, were
approximately  $34,578,000  at July  31,  1998,  as  compared  to  approximately
$26,857,000  at October 31, 1997. The increase of  approximately  $7,721,000 was
primarily the result of cash provided by the Company's operating activities less
cash used for the purchase of furniture, fixtures and equipment.

    The Company believes that its current available cash and anticipated  levels
of  internally  generated  funds  will  be  sufficient  to  fund  its  financial
requirements at least for the next fiscal year at the Company's present level of
revenues and business activity.

Impact of Inflation

    The Company  does not believe  that  inflation  has had, or will have in the
foreseeable future, a material impact upon the Company's operating results.

Year 2000


    The Year 2000 issue exists  because many computer  systems and  applications
currently  use  two-digit  date fields to designate a year.  As the century date
change occurs,  date-sensitive  systems will recognize the year 2000 as 1900, or
not at all.  This  inability to  recognize  or properly  treat the Year 2000 may
cause  systems  to  process  critical  financial  and  operational   information
incorrectly.  The Company believes,  based upon its internal reviews,  inquiries
made of its critical customers and suppliers, and other factors, that the future
external  and  internal  costs to be incurred  relating to the  modification  of
internal-use  software for the Year 2000 will not have a material  effect on the
Company's results of operations or financial position.


Forward-Looking Statements

    This Form 10-QSB,  together with other  statements and information  publicly
disseminated by the Company, contains certain forward-looking  statements within
the  meaning of Section  27A of the  Securities  Act of 1933,  as  amended,  and
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  Such statements
are based on  assumptions  and  expectations  which may not be realized  and are
inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, many of which cannot be predicted

actual results, financial or otherwise, may differ from the results discussed in

<PAGE>

the forward-looking  statements.  A number of these risks and other factors that
might cause differences,  some of which could be material, along with additional
discussion of forward-looking  statements, are set forth in the Company's Report
on Form 8-K filed with the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission on December 23,
1996.
