              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                   (UNAUDITED)

(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 had a net profit for the quarter ending March 31, 1998 of
         $95,138 and at March 31, 1998 has a working capital deficiency of
         approximately $(5,767,000) after reclassification of all long-term
         lease payments 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) which have
         collectively 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 the Company's ability to maintain its
         level of profitability 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 first
         quarter of 1998 and its plan for future operations.

         The Company attributes the profit in the first quarter to increased
         revenues and the effect of cost cutting the Company had undertaken.
         Additionally, the Company's relatively new start up facility (Orange
         Park) has begun to achieve a level of profitability with a first
         quarter profit of $73,000 contrasted to a loss of $(195,000) for the
         corresponding period in 1997. However, due to the expansion and growth
         the Company's working capital has decreased to the extent that the
         Company has fallen behind in meeting its lease, vendor and certain loan
         obligations. Most of the vendors have been cooperative by allowing
         extended terms. The Company expects to conclude discussions with its
         major lessor in May of 1998 with a satisfactory solution to cure the
         default which will bring the leases to current status. Other lessors
         have also been cooperative with extended terms. During this period the
         Company has not received a waiver of default from its lessors and
         therefore, has reclassified all long-term lease obligations to
         short-term. The Company in February of 1998 entered into a

              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


         Definitive Merger Agreement with American Enterprise Solutions, Inc.
         ("AES"). In addition to funding the Company on an as need basis
         (through March 31, 1998 AES has loaned the Company $116,000), on March
         27, 1998, AES exchanged securities of Halis, Inc. (OTCBB:HLIS) valued
         at $2,000,000 for 500,000 shares of the Company's Series A Preferred
         Stock. The value approximated market value of the Halis, Inc.
         securities at time of exchange less a volume block discount of
         approximately 10%. The Company intends to use the greater portion (at
         least seventy-five percent) or all of the Halis securities as
         collateral for extended terms on its lease obligations. The Company
         believes with a continued increase in revenues, cost containment
         measures and a successful conclusion to discussions with its major
         lessor that the Company's financial condition will continue to
         strengthen, though no absolute assurances can be given.

         At March 31, 1998, the market value of the Halis, Inc. securities
         increased only slightly. At May 19, 1998, the market value decreased by
         $500,000. Management does not feel there has been a permanent
         impairment.

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 Company is not certain that this accounting treatment is applicable
         to its Preferred Stock transaction, given the unusual facts and
         circumstances surrounding the Company's transaction. Among other
         factors, the Company is in a merger process with American Enterprise
         Solutions, Inc. ("AES") and the Preferred Stock transaction was by and
         between the Company and AES after the merger process began. The company
         has made no adjustment to the financial statements for the beneficial
         conversion feature. If the prescribed accounting as outlined above for
         the beneficial conversion feature is applicable, there would be no
         change to total stockholders' equity or to the Company's Net Income.
         There would be a potential impact on Net Income Available to Common
         Stockholders and earnings per share. The Company and its business
         advisors are reviewing the issue.


3)       LEGAL ACTION

         The Company was a defendant in a suit filed on January 5, 1998 by Lake
         City Medical Group, P.A. for past due rents approximating $16,500. The
         Company reached an out of court settlement for which the Company agreed
         to pay $12,000. Payment, as agreed, was paid by the Company on April 6,
         1998.

         The Company became aware on May 20, 1998, that 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 May 1, 1998, approximates $150,000 plus interest approximating
         $12,000 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 is currently evaluating its
         alternatives.

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 three months ended March 31, 1998 were $2,797,000 compared
to $2,577,000 for the same period in 1997, representing a 8% increase. The
increase is primarily attributable to an increase in the volume of procedures
performed.

Direct operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 1998 were
$1,231,000 compared to $1,398,000 for the same period in 1997, representing a
12% decrease. Direct operating expenses as a percentage of net revenue decreased
to 44% from 54% for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997,
respectively. The decrease in direct operating expenses was primarily due to the
Company achieving lower medical supply costs and radiology fees.

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 1998
were $1,053,000 compared to $967,000 for the same period in 1997, representing a
9% increase. A portion of this increase is due to an increase in property taxes
on the relatively new equipment acquired for the Riverside start-up.

Depreciation and amortization costs decreased to $344,000 from $366,000 for the
quarters ending March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. This is primarily
attributable to the Riverside start-up costs being fully amortized. Interest
expense has decreased to $156,000 from $170,000 for the quarters ending March
31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. This is the result of the amortization of the
Company's debt.

The increase in revenues and greater reduction in operating costs for the
quarter resulted in a net profit of $95,000 compared to a loss of $(319,000) for
the same period in 1997. The relatively new Riverside facility contributed a
loss of approximately $(30,000), compared to a loss of $(195,000) for the
corresponding 1997 period. The Orange Park facility (its fixed site opened July
of 1995) produced a profit of approximately $73,000 compared to the loss of
$(122,000) for the same period in 1997. Brandon (the Company's most mature
center) experienced a profit of approximately $223,000 compared to a profit of
$158,000 for the same period in 1997. The Company attributes the profit to
several factors which include: increased revenues; reduction of personnel costs;
and containment of radiology fees and medical supply costs.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At March 31, 1998, the Company has a working capital deficiency of approximately
$(5,767,000) after reclassification of all long-term lease payments 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), which have collectively resulted in the Company being in default of
its major lease and loan agreements. The Company has been in discussion with its
major lessor to obtain a satisfactory arrangement which will cure the defaults.
The Company expects to favorably conclude these discussions by the end of May.
During this 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 also in default of a second mortgage loan on one of
its fixed site facilities. In March of 1998, the Company entered into a private
placement with American Enterprise Solutions, Inc. ("AES") wherein it exchanged
500,00 shares of Company Series A Preferred Stock for 8,000,000 shares of Halis,
Inc. (OTCBB:HLIS) valued at $2,000,000. The value approximated the market value
of the Halis, Inc. securities at the time of exchange less a volume block
discount of approximately 10%. The Company intends to use at least seventy-five
percent of these securities to collateralize extended terms of its financial
obligations and/or liquidate a portion to otherwise help cure the Company's
financial arrearages.

with AES. Through March 31, 1998, AES has loaned to the Company $116,000 on an
as need basis. There is no formal commitment to continue this funding. In March,
1998, AES exercised its conversion right with a portion of its Series A
Preferred Stock at the rate of 44.11 shares of Common Stock to one share of
Preferred Stock, giving AES 65% of the total 8,880,000 shares of Common Stock
outstanding. Subsequently, the CEO/Director of AES was appointed to fill a
vacancy on the Board and office of CEO for the Company . The Company,
subsequently, has set out to arrange with all vendors a plan which will help the
Company become current with its obligations, although, there is no assurance
this can be achieved.

The Company has a $2,000,000 line of credit with Health Care Financial Partners,
Inc. ('HCFP"), a lender specializing in medical receivables. The lender has a
first security interest on all accounts receivable. Interest is a prime plus 2%.
The Company had borrowed in excess of the borrowing base availability and at
March 31, 1998 the excess and loan balance approximated $19,000 and $1,319.000,
respectively. A term loan with HCFP was in arrears approximately $39,000 with a
balance at March 31, 1998, of $220,000. HCFP has allowed the Company to make
payment of $4,000 per day toward the arrearages. At May 18, 1998, the over
advance on the line had been paid back with a loan balance of approximately
$1,187,000. At May 18, 1998, the Company had reduced its arrearage on the term
loan to $29,000 with a balance approximating $191,000.

In the quarter ending March 31, 1998, the company increased its cash by
approximately $28,000. Operations contributed $20,000 of the total increases.
Financing contributed $8,000.

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, increasing revenues, its relatively
new start-up beginning to achieve 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.

<PAGE>   2

                                FIRST AMENDMENT


         This First Amendment (the "Amendment") is made and entered into as of
this 17th day of March, 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
(the "Agreement") dated February 23, 1998 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 8.10 of the Agreement specifies that, as a condition
precedent to the obligations of AES and the stockholders of AES to consummate
the transactions provided for in the Agreement, among other things, the
shareholders of NDI shall have approved the Merger, the terms of the Agreement
and other actions to be taken thereunder for which such shareholder approval is
required; and

         WHEREAS, AES and NDI have mutually agreed to proceed with the Merger
and the other transactions provided for under the Agreement in such a manner
that would not require the initial approval and consent of NDI's shareholders
to the Merger, the terms of the Agreement or other actions to be taken
thereunder for which such shareholder approval is required; and

         WHEREAS, AES and NDI mutually intend that the Agreement be amended to
dispense with the need for the initial approval and consent of the shareholders
of NDI to the Merger, and the terms of the Agreement and other actions to be
taken thereunder for which such shareholder approval is required; and

         WHEREAS, Section 2.2 of the Agreement specifies that, as a condition
to the closing of the Merger transaction, NDI shall have, among other things
(i) effected a reverse stock split of the currently issued and outstanding
shares of NDI common stock; and (ii) authorized the insurance of an additional
10,670,513 shares of NDI common stock for distribution to the AES stockholders;
and

         WHEREAS, NDI and AES have mutually agreed that it is in the best
interest of the parties that (i) the above-referenced reverse stock split
should not be effected until after consummation of the Merger; and (ii) NDI
should provide for the issuance of a total of 22,056,407 shares of NDI common
stock for distribution to AES stockholders as opposed to the 10,670,513 shares
referred to above; and

         WHEREAS, because of the fact that NDI only has a total of 5,906,570
authorized but unissued shares of NDI common stock for immediate insurance to
AES stockholders, it is necessary to provide for a partial closing of the
Merger transaction (until additional shares of NDI common stock are authorized
and made available for distribution to AES stockholders).

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
as follows:



<PAGE>   3

         1.      The Agreement is hereby amended to delete the requirement
contained in Section 8.10 thereof and elsewhere that the approval and consent
of NDI's shareholders to the Merger, the terms of the Agreement and other
actions to be taken thereunder shall be a condition precedent to the
obligations of AES and the AES stockholders under this Agreement.

         2.      Section 2.2 and any and all other pertinent sections of the
Agreement are amended and modified to provide for and reflect the fact that (i)
NDI shall issue 5,906,570 shares of NDI common stock to AES stockholders upon
partial closing of the Merger, then (pursuant to an appropriate amendment to
its Articles of Incorporation to allow it do so) issue an additional 16,
149,837 shares of NDI common stock to AES stockholders shortly thereafter; and
(ii) the above-referenced reverse stock split shall be effected only after
insurance of the total of 22,057,407 shares of NDI common stock to AES
stockholders (such that the AES stockholders will own an aggregate of 87.7% of
the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of NDI after the reverse
stock split).

         3.      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.
