              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


(1) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accounting policies followed by National Diagnostics, Inc., and
Subsidiaries (the "Company") for quarterly financial reporting purposes are the
same as those disclosed in the Company's annual financial statements. In the
opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial
statements reflect all adjustments (which consist only of normal recurring
adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the information presented.

The quarterly condensed consolidated financial statements herein have been
prepared by the Company without audit. Certain information and footnote
disclosures included in financial statements prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted.
Although the Company management believes the disclosures are adequate to make
the information not misleading, it is suggested that these quarterly condensed
consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited
annual financial statements and footnotes thereto.

In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent
assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.

OPERATIONAL MATTERS AND LIQUIDITY

The Company has a net loss for the quarter ending September 30, 1998 of
$1,179,717 and at September 30, 1998 has a working capital deficiency of
approximately $5,330,485 and a deficiency of net assets approximating $709,000.
In view of these matters, recoverability of a major portion of the recorded
asset amounts shown in the accompanying balance sheet is dependent upon
continued operation of the Company, which in turn is dependent upon either the
Company's ability to succeed in its future operations or its ability to obtain
additional funding. The financial statements do not include any adjustments
relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or
amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the
Company be unable to continue in existence. The following commentary addresses
the Company's operations for the third quarter of 1998 and its plan to improve
future results.

The Company attributes the loss in the third quarter primarily to a reduction
in net revenues. The company's relatively newest facilities Orange Park and
Riverside experienced third quarter losses of $355,000 and $367,000,
respectively. The Company's most mature facility (Brandon) experienced a loss
of $184,000. The Company attributes these losses to a decline in gross revenues
experienced by the relatively new facilities and contractual adjustments the
Company identified with some of its current receivables. The Company is
currently evaluating its Orange Park and Riverside operations to facilitate
cost savings the Company expects to achieve by consolidating certain of its
operations in the Jacksonville area. Additionally, the Company expects to
complete in the fourth quarter more favorable refinancing for its accounts
receivables. The current asset lender has imposed unfavorable loan restrictions
on the Company as a result of the change in control of the Company.
Subsequently, the Company has also concluded its refinancing with its major
lessor, which has enabled the Company to bring its major lease obligations
current and will result in decrease of approximately $60,000 per month toward
this obligation.

The Company is continuing with its merger plans with American Enterprise
Solutions, Inc. ("AESI"). The Companies have agreed to alter the method by
which the acquisition will take place. The Companies expect to maintain the
same valuation per share for the Company's common. Details have yet to be
released.

              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


(2) PREFERRED STOCK TRANSACTION

In March, 1997, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced its
position on accounting for the issuance of convertible preferred stock with a
nondetachable conversion feature that is deemed "in the money" at the date of
issue (a "beneficial conversion feature"). The beneficial conversion feature is
initially recognized and measured by allocating a portion of the preferred
stock proceeds equal to the intrinsic value of that feature to additional
paid-in capital. This initial value is calculated at the date of issue as the
difference of the conversion price and the quoted market price of the company's
common stock into which the security is convertible, multiplied by the number
of shares into which the security is convertible. The discount resulting from
the allocation of proceeds in the beneficial convertible feature is treated as
dividend and is recognized as a return to the preferred shareholder over the
minimum period in which the preferred shareholders can realize that return
(i.e. from the date the securities are issued to the date they are first
convertible). The accounting for the beneficial conversion feature requires the
use of an unadjusted quoted market price (i.e., no valuation discounts allowed)
as the full value used in order to determine the intrinsic value dividend. The
intrinsic value of the dividends to the preferred shareholder is deducted from
the net income before calculating the net loss per common share. The intrinsic
value of beneficial conversion features to preferred shareholders is
$25,568,750. Upon merger with AESI, the effect of the beneficial conversion
features is reversed.


(3) LEGAL ACTION

On May 20,1998, Carnegie Capital, Ltd. ("Carnegie Capital") filed suit for
foreclosure against the Company and its wholly owned partnership, Sundance
Partners for alleged default of a second mortgage note held by Carnegie
Capital. The debt outstanding at October 6, 1998, approximates $150,000 plus
interest approximating $24,000 which the Company has provided for. The property
involved is the fixed site facility occupied by the Company's Orange Park
diagnostic subsidiary. The Company filed a counter suit alleging certain
improprieties on the part of Carnegie Capital. On October 6, 1998, The Company
entered into a stipulation agreement where in the Company agreed to pay
$9,077.78 per month through January 15, 1999 with the remaining balance to be
paid in full by January 31, 1998.

(4) LONG-TERM NOTE RECEIVABLE

In the third quarter the Company agreed to exchange its marketable securities
(8,000,000 shares of Halis, Inc. common) for a $2,000,000 collateralized note
receivable from AESI (to be adjusted for cash received by the Company from
AESI). The note will accrue interest at 7%, both principal and interest will be
due on July 1, 2000. The collateral is restricted common stock of Physicians
Recourse Network, Inc. ("PRN"), a wholly owned subsidiary of AESI which AESI
acquired in exchange for 9,984,000 common shares of Halis, Inc. At July 1,
1998, the effective date of the agreement, the collateral shares were valued at
approximately $2,296,320 ($.23 per share). Through November 3, 1998 AESI has
put into the Company approximately $653,000 cash.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS


The following discussion and analysis of the Company's financial condition and
results of operations should be read in conjunction with the condensed
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere herein.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net revenues for the third quarter ended September 30, 1998 were $1,717,524
compared to $2,535,390 for the same period in 1997 representing a 32% decrease.
Forty six percent of the $818,000 loss in revenues is attributable to a
decrease in gross revenues earned in the Orange Park and Riverside facilities.
Management, as part of its plan to consolidate its facilities, will focus on
reacquiring its market share of revenues. Forty three percent of the loss in
revenues is attributable to adjustments for certain accounts receivables the
Company believes it will be unsuccessful in collecting. Approximately 68% or
$240,000 of these adjustments the Company believes was unusual in nature and
non-recurring. Direct operating expenses for the quarter ended September 30,
1998 were $1,337,355 compared to $1,256,416 for the same period in 1997,
representing a 6% increase. Direct costs as a percent of net revenues increased
28% as a result of certain direct costs which do not vary proportionately with
net revenues, such as personnel costs and rent, and in certain cases radiology
costs.

General and administrative expenses for the third quarter ended September 30,
1998 were $1,097,235 compared to $1,188,388 for the same period in 1997,
representing an 8% decrease. The decrease is primarily attributable to numerous
cost cutting measures the Company has undertaken.

The decrease in operating costs was not sufficient to offset the decrease in
revenues resulting in a quarter loss of $1,179,717 compared to $404,543 for the
corresponding period in 1997. The relatively new Riverside facility contributed
a $367,000 loss compared to $126,000 loss for the same period in 1997. The
Orange Park facility (its fixed site opened July of 1995) incurred a loss of
$355,000 compared to a $147,000 loss for the same period in 1997. The Company
is currently evaluating its alternatives and expects to reconstruct its
Jacksonville operations in the fourth quarter due to the losses and declining
revenue base experienced. The Brandon facility experienced a fourth quarter
loss of $184,000 compared to a $116,000 profit for the same period in 1997.
This is attributable mainly to a decline in net revenues; 83% of which is
believed to be the result of non-recurring contractual adjustments.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At September 30, 1998, the Company has a working capital deficiency of
approximately $5,330,000 and a deficiency of net assets approximating
$709,000. Subsequently, the Company successfully concluded its refinancing of
its major capital leases with major lessor which resulted in returning the
leases to a current status. At September 30, 1998, the Company reclassified its
long term portion of the leases to long term under the pre-existing agreements.
The lessor accepted a note for past arrearages on certain of its capital lease
and maintenance payments. The $1,633,514 note accruing interest at 10% per
annum will mature June 1, 1999 with interest. Additionally, the Company paid
$475,000 toward arrearages from June through October, 1998. American Enterprise
Solutions, Inc. (having a 65% common stock interest in the Company) has
guaranteed the lease obligations and contributed the $475,000 to the Company to
facilitate meeting its obligation under the agreement. Additionally, the
Company entered into a stipulation agreement with a second mortgage loan which
allows the Company to continue making $9,078 monthly payments toward its
$150,000 obligation through January, 1999; at which time the remaining balance
including interest will become due.

In the third quarter the Company agreed to exchange its marketable securities
(8,000,000 shares of Halis, Inc. common) for a $2,000,000 collateralized note
receivable from AESI (to be adjusted for cash received by the Company from
AESI).

The note will accrue interest at 7%, both principal and interest will be due on
July 1, 2000. The collateral is restricted common stock of Physicians Recourse
Network, Inc. ("PRN"), a wholly owned subsidiary of AESI which AESI acquired in
exchange for 9,984,000 common shares of Halis, Inc. At July 1, 1998, the
effective date of the agreement, the collateral shares were valued at
approximately $2,296,320 ($.23 per share). Through November 3, 1998 AESI has
put into the Company approximately $653,000 cash.

The Company is continuing in the merger process with AESI. Subsequently, the
Company and AESI jointly announced they are changing the method in which the
two companies will come together. Details are not yet available; however, it is
expected that the merger will not take place until early 1999.

The Company has a $2,000,000 line of credit with Health Care Financial
Partners, Inc. ("HCFP"). The lender has a first security interest on all
accounts receivable. HCFP considers the Company to be in technical default of a
loan covenant, wherein HCFP has not approved the change of control that
resulted when AESI acquired a majority interest in the Company. Subsequently,
HCFP has required acceleration of a term loan with payment of $4,000 per day
toward the balance of $152,000 remaining at June 30, 1998, and has increased
the interest rate to 15% from prime plus 2%. At September 30, 1998 The Company
paid off this term loan in its entirety. At November 16, 1998, the Company's
loan balance on its line of credit was $1,072,000, with zero availability. The
Company has actively pursued alternative financing and expects to complete its
refinancing in the fourth quarter.

In the quarter ending September 30, 1998, the company's cash remained
unchanged. Operations contributed $255,000. investing utilized $8,000 and the
remaining cash was used for debt retirement.

The Company had intended to curtail its external expansion (new start-ups or
acquisitions) until the Company's current relatively new start-ups achieve
acceptable levels of operation, and/or the Company achieved additional capital
infusion. It is likely that external expansion will not take place until
subsequent to the merger; at which time the Company will evaluate the synergies
developing through merger and the recourses available to the Company then
develop a plan for further external expansion.

As a result of continued cost cutting measures, if the Company can increase
revenues, return to profitability, if costs can be contained, and if the
Company's vendors continue work with the Company, and in the interim AESI
continues to financially assist the Company, the Company believes that its
presently anticipated short-term needs for operation, capital repayments and
capital expenditures for its current operations can be satisfied. The Company
feels that its ability in the short-term to improve its working capital is
reasonably attainable. There is no assurance that these short-term needs can be
met.

The Company's long term growth strategies will require additional funds. The
Company feels that the financial resources will be more easily attainable
subsequent to the merger. In the event that the Company proceeds with the
establishment of additional facilities, or encounters favorable acquisition
opportunities in the near future, the Company may incur, from time to time,
additional indebtedness and attempt to issue equity or debt securities in
public or private transactions. There is no assurance that the Company will be
successful in securing additional financing or capital through equity or debt
securities.

The Company's financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplate continuation of the
Company as a going concern. The Company's independent certified public
accountant's report on the Company's 1997 Financial Statements contained in the
Company's Annual Form 10-KSB included a going concern qualification. The
information contained in Note 2 to the Financial Statements included in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31,
1997 remains relevant related to the status of certain of the Company's
operational and funding matters and, accordingly, should be referred to in
conjunction with this Form 10-QSB.
