     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
January 31, 1998, and the consolidated  results of operations and cash flows for
the periods ended January 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 three months ended January 31,
1998 and 1997 are not  necessarily  indicative of the results to be expected for
the full year.

4.  Effective  December 15,  1997,  the Company  adopted  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.  The  impact  of the  adoption  of this
statement was not material to all previously reported EPS amounts.

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

  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
                               of Operations

Results of Operations

    Revenues  increased  approximately  $3,974,000,  or  63%,  to  approximately
$10,308,000  for  the  three  months  ended  January  31,  1998 as  compared  to
approximately  $6,334,000  for the three  months ended  January 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.

    Gross margin for the three months ended January 31, 1998 was 51% as compared
to 66% for the three months ended  January 31, 1997.  This decrease is primarily
attributable  to:  (i)  an  increase  in  the  relative  percentage  of  revenue
represented by deferred contract revenue, which has a low gross margin; and (ii)
a higher level of cancellations  of telemarketing  sales. The Company has put in
place several  procedures to reduce  telemarketing  cancellations.  Gross margin
increased by approximately  $1,008,000,  or 24%, to approximately $5,206,000 for
the three months ended January 31, 1998, as compared to approximately $4,198,000
for the three  months  ended  January  31,  1997.  This  increase  is  primarily
attributable to the increase in revenues as described above.

    Costs  of  services   provided,   which  consist  primarily  of  claims  and
cancellation  costs,  increased  by  approximately   $2,966,000,   or  139%,  to
approximately  $5,102,000  for the three  months  ended  January  31,  1998,  as
compared to  approximately  $2,136,000  for the three months  ended  January 31,
1997. As a percentage of revenues,  cost of services  provided  increased to 49%
for the three  months  ended  January  31,  1998 as  compared to 34% 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.

    Selling,  general and  administrative  expenses  increased by  approximately
$1,008,000,  or 27%, to  approximately  $4,702,000  for the three  months  ended
January 31, 1998, up from  approximately  $3,694,000  for the three months ended
January  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,  telephone,  printing  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 46% for the three months ended January 31,
1998 as compared to 58% in the same period in 1997.

    Other  income,   net  increased  by  approximately   $683,000  or  464%,  to
approximately  $830,000 for the three months ended January 31, 1998, as compared
to  approximately  $147,000 for the three months  ended  January 31, 1997.  This
increase is primarily  attributable to other income of $500,000  received by the
Company in settlement of a dispute with an  unaffiliated  party.  The balance of
the increase  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 three months ended  January 31, 1998,  the Company had income before
income taxes of  approximately  $1,334,000  and recorded a provision  for income
taxes of  approximately  $528,000,  as compared to income before income taxes of
approximately  $652,000  and a  provision  for  income  taxes  of  approximately
$260,000  in the  same  period  in  1997.  Net  income  increased  approximately
$414,000, or 106%, to approximately  $806,000 for the three months ended January
31,  1998 as compared  to  approximately  $392,000  for the three  months  ended
January 31, 1997.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

    Cash and cash  equivalents  and United States  Treasury Notes, at cost, were
approximately  $29,990,000  at January 31,  1998,  as compared to  approximately
$26,857,000  at October 31, 1997. The increase of  approximately  $3,133,000 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.
