              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 June 30, 1998 of
          $516,189 and at June 30, 1998 has a working capital deficiency of
          approximately $6,059,000 after reclassification of the Company's
          major long-term lease commitments to current (more fully discussed
          below). Prior to a private placement for $2,000,000 in securities on
          March 27, 1998, the Company had a deficiency of net assets of
          ($963,000). Collectively, these factors have resulted in the Company
          being in default of its major lease and loan agreements. 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
          and its ability to cure its lease and loan defaults. 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 second quarter
          of 1998 and its plan to improve future results.


          The Company attributes the loss in the second quarter primarily to
          losses sustained by its relatively new start up facilities, which
          experienced a loss in revenues in the second quarter. The Orange Park
          facility experienced a 44% decrease in net revenue (approximately
          $388,000) from that of the corresponding quarter in the previous year
          which resulted in a loss approximating $232,000 compared to a $61,000
          loss for the same quarter in 1997. The Riverside facility had a loss
          of $195,000 compared to a loss of $188,000 in the corresponding
          quarter of 1997. Due to losses experienced in the Company's
          relatively new start up facilities and the Company's expansion and
          growth the Company's working capital has decreased to the extent that
          the Company had fallen behind in meeting its lease, vendor and
          certain loan obligations. During the quarter, the Company has
          negotiated with many of its major vendors, lessors, and lending
          institutions terms, which will allow the Company to bring its
          obligations current by year-end. The Company is actively

              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


          seeking financing alternatives for it accounts receivables as a
          result of its current asset lender imposing unfavorable loan
          restrictions on the Company as a result of the change in control of
          the Company. The Company expects to close on a refinancing package
          with its major lessor by the end of August, which will bring its
          lease obligations current. During this period the Company has not
          received a waiver of default from its lessors and therefore, has
          reclassified its long-term lease obligation to short-term.


          The Company is continuing with its merger plans with American
          Enterprise Solutions, Inc. ("AES") and hopes to complete the merger
          process by third quarter end. AES has loaned the Company
          approximately $181,000 through June 30, 1998. The Company believes
          with a successful conclusion to its financing arrangements, and an
          increase in revenues, its financial condition will strengthen; though
          no absolute assurances can be given.

          At June 30, 1998, the market value of the Company's marketable
          securities decrease slightly to $1,874,618. The Company believes the
          decline to be temporary. The Company recorded an unrealized net loss
          on securities of $125,382.


(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 AES, 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 July
          31, 1998, approximates $150,000 plus interest approximating $14,000
          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 has filed a counter suit alleging certain
          improprieties on the part of Carnegie Capital.

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 second quarter ended June 30, 1998 were $2,320,991
compared to $2,612,347 for the same period in 1997, representing an 11%
decrease. The decrease is primarily attributable to the Company's two
relatively new start up facilities. Year to date revenues are down a modest 1%.

Direct operating expenses for the second quarter ended June 30, 1998 were
$1,394,089 compared to $1,497,388 for the same period in 1997, representing a
7% decrease. Direct costs as a percent of net revenue increased slightly by
2.8%, with a year to date decline of 4.6%. This over all decrease is the result
of the Company achieving lower medical supply costs.

General and administrative expenses for the second quarter ended June 30, 1998
were $1,023,464 compared to $1,012,833 for the same period in 1997,
representing a 1% increase. The increase is primarily attributable to an
increase in property taxes on the relatively new equipment for the Riverside
facility. Depreciation and amortization costs decreased to $342,000 from
$373,000 for the quarters ending June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. This is
primarily attributable to the Riverside start-up costs being fully amortized.
Interest expense has decreased to $173,000 from $189,000 for the quarters
ending June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. This is due primarily from the
amortization of Company debt.

The decrease in operating costs was not sufficient to offset the decrease in
revenues resulting in a quarter loss of $605,000 compared to $459,000 for the
same period in 1997. The relatively new Riverside facility contributed a
$195,000 loss compared to a $188,000 for the same period in 1997. The Orange
Park facility (its fixed site opened July of 1995) incurred a loss of $232,000
compared to a $61,000 loss for the quarter in 1997. The Brandon facility
experienced a profit of $8,000 compared to a $31,000 profit in 1997. The Sun
Point facility posted an $18,000 loss for the quarter compared to a loss of
$23,000 for the same period in 1997. The Company has not determined if the
decrease in revenues experienced in the 2nd quarter will continue through the
3rd quarter.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At June 30, 1998, the Company has a working capital deficiency of approximately
$6,059,000 after the reclassification of its major long-term lease obligations
to current (more fully discussed below). Prior to a private placement for
$2,000,000 in marketable securities on March 27, 1998, the Company has a
deficiency of net assets of approximately $963,000, which collectively resulted
in the Company being in default of its major lease and loan agreements. The
Company is concluding discussions with its major lessor whereby the Company
expects to enter into a refinancing agreement, which will cure the defaults.
During this discussion period the Company has not received a waiver of default
and therefore, has reclassified its long-term lease obligation to short-term.
Additionally, the Company is in default of a second mortgage loan on one of its
fixed site facilities. The lender filed a suit of foreclosure on May 12, 1998.
The Company has filed a counter suit alleging certain improprieties on the part
of the lender (see the Company's Form 10-QSB for March 31, 1998).

The Company's marketable securities experienced a market decline and has valued
them at $1,874,618 at June 30, 1998. The Company believes this market decline
to be of a temporary nature.





                                      10

The Company is continuing in the merger process with American Enterprise
Solutions, Inc. ("AES"). The Company hopes to consummate the merger in the
third quarter of 1998. During this period the Company has negotiated terms with
many of its vendors which will allow the Company to become current on its
obligation be year end. To this end AES has loaned to the Company on an as
needed basis $181,000 through June 30, 1998.

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 AES 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 August 12th, the term loan was
paid through October 1998, with a balance of $112,000. At June 30, 1998, due to
a change in liquidity factors, the Company became over borrowed on its line of
credit by approximately $65,000. The Company eliminated this overage by July
29, 1998. At August 12, 1998, the Company's loan balance on its line of credit
was $1,018,000, with zero availability. The Company is actively pursuing 
alternative financing.

In the quarter ending June 30, 1998, the company's cash remained unchanged.
Operations contributed $253,000. Financing utilized $2,000 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 its cost cutting measures, if the Company can increase revenues,
return to profitability, if costs can be contained, if the Company's vendors
continue work with the Company, and if the Company is successful in curing its
lease and loan defaults, 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.

                                THIRD AMENDMENT

        This Third Amendment (the "3rd Amendment") is made and entered into
as of this 24th day of July, 1998 by and between NATIONAL DIAGNOSTICS, INC., a
Florida corporation ("NDI") and American Enterprise Solutions, Inc., a Florida
corporation ("AES").

                                    RECITALS

        WHEREAS, NDI and AES have entered into that certain Merger Agreement
dated February 23, 1998 as amended by that certain First Amendment dated March
17, 1998 and that certain Second Amendment dated April 29, 1998 (the
"Agreement") pursuant to which it is contemplated that AES will be merged (the
"Merger") with and into NDI under the terms and conditions specified in the
Agreement; and

        WHEREAS, Section 4.1 of the Agreement currently provides, among other
things, that the Closing of the Merger shall occur on July 31, 1998, or as soon
as practicable after all conditions to Closing shall have been satisfied or
waived, or at such other time and date as NDI and AES may mutually agree; and

        WHEREAS, AES and NDI have mutually agreed that the date of Closing the
Merger shall be on or before December 31, 1998, or as soon as practicable after
all conditions to Closing shall have been satisfied or waived, or at such other
time and date as NDI and AES may mutually agree; and

        WHEREAS, Section 13.1(ii) of the Agreement currently provides, among
other things, that AES (acting through its board of directors) shall have the
right to terminate the Agreement if the Closing shall not have occurred by
August 1, 1998; and

        WHEREAS, AES and NDI have mutually agreed that Section 13.1(ii) of the
Agreement should be amended to reflect the fact that AES (acting through its
board of directors) shall have the right to terminate the Agreement if the
Closing has not occurred by December 31, 1998.

        NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises set forth herein, and
for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which
are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound,
agree that the Agreement is hereby amended to incorporate and reflect the
following facts, terms and conditions:


         Section 4.1 of the Agreement is hereby amended to read as follows:

           4.1 PLACE AND DATE OF CLOSING. Delivery of the stock certificates
         referred to in Section 3 above, and consummation of the other
         transactions contemplated by this Agreement (hereinafter referred to
         as the "Closing") shall take place at the offices of Foley & Lardner,
         100 North Tampa Street, Suite 2700, Tampa, FL (or at such other
         location as may be agreed upon by AES and NDI) on or before December
         31, 1998, or as soon as practicable after all conditions to Closing
         shall have been satisfied or waived, or at such other time and date as
         NDI and AES may mutually agree, which date shall be referred to as the
         "Closing Date."


         Section 13.1(ii) of the Agreement is hereby amended to read as
         follows:

           (ii) by AES (acting through its board of directors) if the
         transactions contemplated by this Agreement to take place at the
         Closing shall not have been consummated by December 31, 1998, unless
         the failure of such transactions to be consummated is due to the
         willful failure of AES to perform any of its or his obligations under
         this Agreement to the extent required to be performed by it prior to
         or on the Closing Date; or

         This Amendment may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of
         which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall
         constitute but one and the same instrument.

                IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this
          Amendment as of the day and year first written above.
