          member/subscribers, and those of its plan sponsors (employers,
          associations, etc.) and other licensed organizations, the opportunity
          to obtain discounted services from its national network of ophthalmic
          physicians. Through contractual arrangements with others, the
          Company's plans also provide its member/subscribers with access to
          providers of eyewear and other benefits on a discounted basis.

          The Company's principal operating revenues consist of annual fees
          charged to participating physicians and user fees charged either
          directly to its member/subscribers, or indirectly through plan
          sponsors or through licensing arrangements with providers of other
          benefit plans in exchange for access by their member/subscribers to
          the Company's network of ophthalmologists on a similarly discounted
          basis.

Note B -  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
          ------------------------------------------

          1.   Principles of Consolidation
          --------------------------------

               The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Eye
               Care International, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary,
               National Vision Services, Inc. All significant intercompany
               transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

          2.   Revenue Recognition
          ------------------------

               The Company sells one, two and three year memberships in its
               vision plan. Although, at the time of enrollment (when the
               Company enters the membership data into its system), the Company
               issues a membership kit that includes a membership card, network
               provider list and other material, its obligation to its members
               is not totally fulfilled because of the twenty-four hour customer
               service feature of its plan and its guarantee to save at least
               the cost of the membership or the Company will refund the
               difference. In addition, memberships can be cancelled at any time
               during the first thirty days of the membership. However,
               historically said thirty-day cancellations have been diminimus
               and requests for refunds equal to the difference between the cost
               of the card and the member's savings have been non-existent.
               Therefore, revenues are recognized on a straight-line basis over
               the membership period, beginning in the month of enrollment.
               Membership fees, however, can neither be determined nor estimated
               until reported to the Company by the selling organizations and
               are subject to possible subsequent audit by the Company at its
               option under the terms of the related agreement. Accordingly,
               depending upon the timeliness and accuracy of membership reports
               received, membership income is not recognized in the Company's
               financial statements until reported by the selling organization,
               which may be in periods later than those in which they were
               earned and subject to adjustment in subsequent periods. To the
               Company's knowledge, these reports have always been filed on a
               timely basis (less than two weeks after the sale by the selling
               organization). If reports were delayed, revenue and commissions
               would be understated, as would be income.



          3.   Fixed Assets and Depreciation
          ----------------------------------

               Fixed assets are recorded at cost. Depreciation of fixed assets
               is recorded using accelerated and straight line methods over the
               estimated useful lives of the related assets.

          4.   Income Taxes
          -----------------

               Income taxes are to be provided for the tax effects of
               transactions reported in the financial statements. Provisions
               will be made for deferred income taxes, which result from timing
               differences between expenses and income as reported for financial
               statement purposes and their deductibility or exclusion for
               income tax purposes, when appropriate.

          5.  Stock Warrants
          ------------------

               During the first quarter of 2000, the Company issued no warrants
               for the purchase of common stock. During the first quarter of
               2001, the Company issued 1,154,289 warrants. The exercise price
               of these warrants is $0.50 per share of common stock and the
               warrants expire in 2006.

               The fair value of the above warrants at their grant date was
               zero. The estimated fair value of each warrant granted is
               calculated using the Black Scholes option pricing model. The
               following summarizes the assumptions used in the model:

                                                            2001

                  EYE CARE INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                            March 31, 2001 and 2000

Note B -  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
          ------------------------------------------

          5.   Stock Warrants (continued)
               --------------

               As of March 31, 2001, the Company had reserved 3,829,861 shares
               of common stock for issuance under stock warrants issued and
               outstanding.

          6.   Preferred Stock
          --------------------

               In late 1999, the Company issued 495 shares of Series A
               convertible preferred stock at a price of $1,000 per share. In
               early 2000, the Company issued an additional 550 shares of Series
               A convertible preferred stock. Each share of Series A preferred
               stock is convertible into 2,000 shares of common stock and has a
               liquidation preference of $1,000 per share. The Company has the
               right to redeem shares of Series A convertible preferred stock on
               the third anniversary of the date shares of Series A convertible
               preferred stock were first issued at a redemption price of $1,200
               per share.

               In May 2000, the Company issued 685,714 shares of Series B
               convertible preferred stock at a price of $0.4375 per share. Each
               share is convertible into one share of common stock. This stock
               has no liquidation preference nor redemption features.


          7.   Loss Per Share
          -------------------

               Loss per share is calculated by dividing net income by the
               average weighted number of shares outstanding for the period.
               Average weighted number of shares used to calculate loss per
               share for the first quarter of 2001 and 2000 were 11,548,186
               shares and 9,041,971 shares, respectively. Since the Company
               shows a loss per share for each of the periods presented, no
               diluted loss per share calculations have been presented. Showing
               the effect of including the outstanding warrants in the loss per
               share calculation would have an anti-dilution effect and would be
               misleading.

          8.   Comprehensive Income
               --------------------

               SFAS 130 requires a company to disclose Comprehensive Income, if
               any, in its financial statements. Comprehensive Income is defined
               as "the change in equity (net assets) of a business enterprise
               during a period from transactions and other events and
               circumstances from non-owner sources. It includes all changes in
               equity during a period except those resulting from investments by
               owners and distributions to owners." Since the Company had no
               such transaction, the Company's net loss and comprehensive net
               loss are the same.

Note C -  NOTES PAYABLE
          -------------

          The Company is indebted to two stockholders in the amount of $93,000.
          The monies bear interest at the rate of 8% and are payable upon
          demand.

Note D -  INCOME TAXES
          ------------

          Substantially all of the Company's retained earnings deficit will be
          available as an operating loss carry forward to reduce future income
          tax obligations as may be incurred through the year 2015. However,
          because of the Company's relatively short operating history, the
          potential tax benefit of this loss has been valued at zero in the
          financial statements and will remain so until realized or until the
          criterion in Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 109,
          Accounting for Income Taxes, for recognition of a deferred tax asset
          has been met.

Note E -  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
          -----------------------------

          The Company leases its present offices under an operating lease
          expiring on July 31, 2003 with an option to renew for one year. Rent
          expense for the years 2000 and 1999 amounted to $98,922 and $87,576
          respectively. Future minimum rental commitments at December 31, 2000
          are as follows:

                          2001    $ 96,523
                          2002     100,992
                          2003      42,855
                                  --------

                                  ========

Note F -  GOING CONCERN
          -------------

          The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity
          with generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplates
          continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, the Company
          has sustained substantial operating losses since its inception. In
          addition, the Company has used substantial amounts of working capital
          in its operations. In review of these matters the continuation of the
          Company is dependent upon its ability to raise capital and its success
          of future operations. Absent an increase in revenue or the sale of
          capital stock, there may be uncertainty about the Company's ability to
          continue as a going concern. The Company has secured major marketing
          arrangements with large member-based companies (some of whom have been
          competitors) to either include the Company's vision plan as part of
          their plans, or market the plan as a stand-alone plan. The Company is
          also financially supported by its current accredited investors, as
          well as other accredited investors. Management believes that the
          Company will generate significant new business in the future from
          these marketing arrangements and will raise enough capital to continue
          as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any
          adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.


Note G -  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
          -----------------

          On April 3, 2001, the Company entered into an agreement with Thomas
          Fletcher & Company, Inc., a New York based placement agent, to act as
          the Company's authorized agent for the sole purpose of increasing the
          permanent capitalization of the Company through the private placement
          of securities, to be issued by the Company, on terms and conditions
          that are mutually satisfactorily.

          The agreement states that the authorized agent, as soon as
          practicable, will arrange for approximately two and one-half million
          dollars ($2,500,000) of additional funds to the Company through the
          issuance, by the Company, of the following: (a) $2,000,000 principal
          amount of promissory notes, (b) 1,000,000 shares of common stock, and
          (c) 500,000 common stock purchase warrants; to be offered to
          accredited investors in the form of units with each unit comprising of
          a $20,000 principal amount of promissory note, 10,000 shares of common
          stock and 5,000 common stock purchase warrants at an offering price of
          $25,000 per unit.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                             OR PLAN OF OPERATION


Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of
operation should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes
thereto appearing elsewhere in this report.

Results of Operations

Three Months ended March 31, 2001 Compared to Three Months ended March 31, 2000.

Sales. Sales for the three months ended March 31, 2001 of $98,134 were about
$35,000 less than the $133,470 recorded for the same period in 2000. This
decrease was primarily due to the timing of revenue recognition as discussed in
Note B.2, and the loss of a retail customer.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. The major components of Selling,
General and Administrative expenses (G&A) are payroll, Commissions, Business
travel, postage & printing, and professional/consulting fees. G&A expenses of
$585,723 were approximately $41,000 less than the $626,315 for the same period
last year. While all other expenses remained relatively level for the
comparative periods, business travel declined by nearly $40,000 as the company
made a concerted effort to reduce such costs.

Interest Expense. Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2001
were only slightly higher than the comparative period for 2000 because of the
increase in notes payable.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense. Since no major additions were made to
depreciable assets in 2000 and year to date March 31, 2001, depreciation
declined slightly due to some of the depreciable assets being fully depreciated.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Since inception, the Company's expenses have consistently exceeded revenues.
Operations have primarily been funded from the issuance of debt and equity
securities.

The Company used cash in its operating activities totaling nearly $.4 million
and $.5 million during the first three months of 2001 and 2000, respectively,
primarily for payroll, professional fees and contract labor. The Company did not
acquire any fixed assets during these periods.

During the first three months of 2001and 2000, the Company raised nearly $.5
million through financing activities, primarily the sale of common stock in 2001
and the sale of preferred and common stock in 2000. In the first quarter of
2001, the Company issued 1,315,431 shares of common stock. The Company issued
550 shares of Series A convertible preferred stock at a price of $1,000 per
share during the first quarter of 2000. Each of these preferred shares may be
converted into 2,000 shares of common stock.

Going Concern

Notes F to the audited financial statements expresses the uncertainty of the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern and Note G entitled "Subsequent
Events" further addresses the issue and in management's opinion, should
significantly alleviate this concern. Since the end of the year, the Company has
received a Letter of Intent from a placement agent for the private placement of
$2.5 million of equity in the Company. Management believes this event eliminates
much of the uncertainty of the Company as a going concern.

Forward-looking Statements

This report includes forward-looking statements that are not based upon
historical facts. These statements, which discuss future expectations, estimate
the happening of future events, or our results of operations or financial
condition for future periods, can be identified by the use of forward-looking
terminology such as "may", "will", "expect", "believe", "intend", "anticipate",
"estimate", "continue", or similar words. These forward-looking statements are
subject to certain uncertainties, and there are important factors that may cause
