           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-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 1999.

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, 2000, and the consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the
periods ended July 31, 2000 and 1999.  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, 2000 and 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
expected for the full year.

4. In July 2000, after an extensive  review and evaluation,  the Company decided
to abandon the operations of its Uautobid.com subsidiary. The Company determined
that  further  investment  in this  operation  was not prudent due to the higher
level of risk associated with the rapidly changing and increasingly  competitive
internet car buying market.

5.    Certain prior year balances  have been  reclassified  to conform with the
current year presentation.

6. 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:

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

Results of Operations

      For the Nine Months ended July 31, 2000  compared to the Nine Months ended
July 31, 1999

      Revenues  increased  approximately  $4,778,000,  or 12%, to  approximately
$45,405,000 for the nine months ended July 31, 2000 as compared to approximately
$40,627,000 for the nine months ended July 31, 1999. This increase was primarily
due to: (i) an 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) an increase in  administrative  fees resulting from an
increase in the fees charged per contract.

      Costs  of  services  provided,  which  consist  primarily  of  claims  and
cancellation  costs,   increased  by  approximately   $3,906,000,   or  19%,  to
approximately  $24,146,000  for the nine months ended July 31, 2000, as compared
to  approximately  $20,240,000  for the nine months  ended July 31,  1999.  As a
percentage of revenues,  cost of services provided increased to 53% for the nine
months  ended  July 31,  2000 as  compared  to 50% for the same  period in 1999.
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  $872,000,  or 4%, to approximately
$21,259,000   for  the  nine  months  ended  July  31,  2000,   as  compared  to
approximately $20,387,000 for the nine months ended July 31, 1999. This increase
is primarily  attributable to the increase in revenues as described above. Gross
margin for the nine  months  ended July 31,  2000 was 47% as compared to 50% for
the nine months ended July 31, 1999. This decrease is primarily  attributable to
an increase in claims expense.

    Selling,  general and  administrative  expenses  increased by  approximately
$1,815,000,  or 10%, to approximately $19,866,000 for the nine months ended July
31, 2000, up from  approximately  $18,051,000 for the nine months ended July 31,
1999. This increase was in large part due to: (i) increased  commissions paid as
a result  of  increased  sales  revenue;  and (ii)  increased  personnel  costs.
Selling,  general and administrative expenses were 44% of revenues for both nine
month periods ended July 31, 2000 and July 31, 1999.

    Interest   income   increased  by   approximately   $909,000,   or  70%,  to
approximately $2,208,000 for the nine months ended July 31, 2000, as compared to
approximately  $1,299,000 for the same period in 1999. The increase is primarily
a  result  of  investment  income  generated  by  funds  provided  by  operating
activities in the twelve  months ended July 31, 2000 and a shift of  investments
from short term United States  Treasury  Bills to longer term  securities  which
provide a greater yield.

    Income  from  continuing   operations  before  provision  for  income  taxes
decreased by approximately  $33,000, or 1%, to approximately  $3,603,000 for the
nine months ended July 31, 2000, as compared to approximately $3,636,000 for the
same  period in 1999.  For the nine  months  ended July 31,  2000,  the  Company
recorded a provision for income taxes on continuing  operations of approximately
$1,371,000, as compared to a provision for income taxes on continuing operations
of approximately  $1,404,000 in the same period in 1999.  Income from continuing
operations was approximately  $2,232,000 for both the nine months ended July 31,
2000 and July 31, 1999.

    Loss from discontinued  operations net of taxes was  approximately  $803,000
for the nine months ended July 31, 2000. There were no losses from  discontinued
operations during the same period in 1999. The loss from discontinued operations
resulted  from costs  incurred by the  Company's  subsidiary,  Uautobid.com,  to
develop and finance its car buying web site.  In July 2000,  after an  extensive
review and  evaluation,  the Company  decided to abandon the  operations  of its
Uautobid.com subsidiary.  The Company determined that further investment in this
operation  was not prudent due to the higher level of risk  associated  with the
rapidly changing and increasingly competitive internet car buying market.

    Diluted  income per share from  continuing  operations  for the nine  months
ended July 31, 2000 increased by $.02 to $.47 per share, as compared to $.45 per
share for the same  period in 1999.  Diluted  net  income per share for the nine
months  ended July 31, 2000 was $.30 as compared to diluted net income per share
of $.45 for the same period in 1999.

    For the Three Months ended July 31, 2000  compared to the Three Months ended
July 31, 1999

      Revenues  increased  approximately  $1,482,000,  or 10%, to  approximately
$16,826,000   for  the  three   months  ended  July  31,  2000  as  compared  to
approximately  $15,344,000  for the  three  months  ended  July 31,  1999.  This
increase was  primarily due to: (i) an 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) an increase in administrative
fees resulting from an increase in the fees charged per contract.

    Costs  of  services   provided,   which  consist  primarily  of  claims  and
cancellation  costs,   increased  by  approximately   $1,754,000,   or  23%,  to
approximately  $9,320,000  for the three months ended July 31, 2000, as compared
to  approximately  $7,566,000  for the three months  ended July 31,  1999.  As a
percentage of revenues, cost of services provided increased to 55% for the three
months  ended  July 31,  2000 as  compared  to 49% for the same  period in 1999.
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  decreased by approximately  $272,000,  or 3%, to approximately
$7,506,000   for  the  three  months  ended  July  31,  2000,   as  compared  to
approximately  $7,778,000 for the three months ended July 31, 1999. Gross margin
for the three  months  ended July 31,  2000 was 45% as  compared  to 51% for the
three months ended July 31, 1999. This decrease is primarily  attributable to an
increase in claims expense.

    Selling,  general and  administrative  expenses  increased by  approximately
$386,000, or 6%, to approximately $7,024,000 for the three months ended July 31,
2000, up from approximately $6,638,000 for the three months ended July 31, 1999.
This  increase  was in large part due to: (i)  increased  commissions  paid as a
result of increased  sales revenue;  (ii) increased  printing costs required for
new and  revised  programs;  and (iii)  increased  professional  fees.  Selling,
general and  administrative  expenses  were 42% of revenues for the three months
ended July 31, 2000 as compared to 43% for the three months ended July 31, 1999.

    Interest   income   increased  by   approximately   $376,000,   or  77%,  to
approximately  $863,000 for the three months ended July 31, 2000, as compared to
approximately  $487,000 for the same period in 1999. The increase is primarily a
result of investment income generated by funds provided by operating  activities
in the twelve months ended July 31, 2000 and a shift of  investments  from short
term United  States  Treasury  Bills to longer term  securities  which provide a
greater yield.

    Income  from  continuing   operations  before  provision  for  income  taxes
decreased by approximately $282,000, or 17%, to approximately $1,344,000 for the
three months ended July 31, 2000, as compared to  approximately  $1,626,000  for
the same period in 1999.  For the three months ended July 31, 2000,  the Company
recorded a provision for income taxes on continuing  operations of approximately
$506,000,  as compared to a provision for income taxes on continuing  operations
of  approximately  $635,000 for the same period in 1999.  Income from continuing
operations was  approximately  $838,000 for the three months ended July 31, 2000
as compared to approximately $991,000 for the three months ended July 31, 1999.

    Loss from discontinued  operations net of taxes was  approximately  $305,000
for the three months ended July 31, 2000. There were no losses from discontinued
operations during the same period in 1999. The loss from discontinued operations
resulted  from costs  incurred by the  Company's  subsidiary,  Uautobid.com,  to
develop and finance its car buying web site.  In July 2000,  after an  extensive
review and  evaluation,  the Company  decided to abandon the  operations  of its
Uautobid.com subsidiary.  The Company determined that further investment in this
operation  was not prudent due to the higher level of risk  associated  with the
rapidly changing and increasingly competitive internet car buying market.

    Diluted  income per share from  continuing  operations  for the three months
ended July 31, 2000 decreased by $.02 to $.18 per share, as compared to $.20 per
share for the same  period in 1999.  Diluted  net income per share for the three
months  ended July 31, 2000 was $.11 as compared to diluted net income per share
of $.20 for the same period in 1999.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

    Cash and cash  equivalents,  United  States  Treasury  Bills,  at cost,  and
marketable  securities,  which have maturities ranging between two to six years,
were  approximately  $55,445,000 at July 31, 2000, as compared to  approximately
$50,627,000  at October 31, 1999. The increase of  approximately  $4,818,000 was
primarily  the result of cash  provided by the  Company's  operating  activities
partially  offset by cash  used for the  purchase  of  furniture,  fixtures  and
equipment and cash used to purchase  treasury stock. As of September 8, 2000 the
Company had purchased  391,200  shares of treasury  stock at an average price of
$5.06 per share.

    During the fiscal year ended  October 31, 1997,  the Company  entered into a
$3,000,000  revolving  credit facility with the Chase Manhattan Bank.  Under the
terms of the  facility,  advances bear interest at 1/2% above the prime rate and
the  Company is  obligated  to pay an annual  facility  fee of 1/2% of the total
available amount. Outstanding amounts under the credit facility are secured by a
pledge of all  accounts  receivable  of the  Company.  As at July 31,  2000,  no
amounts had been borrowed under the credit facility.

    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.
