$9.00 per share (approximately $45 million) (the "Offer").

     On February 17,  2000,  the Company  acknowledged  receipt of the Offer and
indicated that its Board of Directors would consider the Offer.

     On February 28,  2000,  Chester  Luby,  the Chairman and CEO of the Company

with the Company to confirm the bona fide nature of the Offer,  despite  efforts
to communicate with Mr. Luby, thorough his counsel and otherwise.

     On March 15,  2000,  Mr.  Kumble  sold his  shares  of common  stock of the
Company. On March 17, 2000, Lincolnshire  Management,  Inc. sent a letter to Mr.
Luby indicating that the Offer,  which expired at 5:00 p.m. on February 29, 2000
was of no further  force or effect and that  Lincolnshire  Management,  Inc. was
abandoning its efforts to pursue a proposed acquisition.

Mr. Chester J. Luby
Chairman and CEO
Interstate National Dealer Services, Inc.
The Omni, Suite 700
333 Earle Ovington Blvd.
Mitchel Field, NY  11553-9340

Dear Chester:

     On February 16, 2000, Lincolnshire Management, Inc. made an offer to
you with respect to all of the outstanding  capital stock of Interstate National
Dealer Services, Inc. ("Interstate") at a price of $9 per share. In that letter,
we indicated  that our offer should be considered and acted upon by the Board of
Interstate.

     On February 17, 2000, you acknowledged receipt of our letter and enclosure,
and you stated that the Board of Interstate would give appropriate consideration
to our  proposal,  and that you expected to reply to us in the near  future.  On
February  28,  2000,  you  responded  by stating  that your Board would not give
further  consideration to our proposal unless we could demonstrate the bona fide
nature of that proposal.

     Our offer  expired,  by its terms,  on February  29,  2000.  Despite  other
efforts to communicate with you, through your counsel and otherwise,  to confirm
the bona fide  nature of our  offer,  we have been  unable to engage  you in any
meaningful discussion.  Our offer, which expired by its terms on February 29, is
without force or effect and we are abandoning our efforts to pursue the proposed
acquisition.

     We wish you and your stockholders the very best of luck.

                                              Very sincerely,

                                              LINCOLNSHIRE MANAGEMENT, INC.
