Item 1.  Business

Forward Looking Statements

    The statements contained in this annual report that are not historical facts
are  "forward-looking  statements."  The Company cautions readers of this annual
report  that a number of  important  factors  could cause the  Company's  actual
future  results  to  differ   materially   from  those  expressed  in  any  such
forward-looking  statements.  These  important  factors,  and other factors that
could affect the Company,  are described in the Company's Current Report on Form
8-K filed with the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  on December 23, 1996.
Readers of this annual report are referred to such filing.

General

    Interstate  National Dealer Services,  Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated
in Delaware in 1991 and commenced  operations in November 1991 with the purchase
of certain assets and the assumption of certain liabilities of INDS Group, Inc.,
a  California  corporation  which  commenced  operations  in 1981 under the name
Interstate   National  Dealer  Services  Group,  Inc.  The  Company's  principal
executive  offices are located at 333 Earle Ovington Blvd.,  Mitchel Field,  New
York 11553, and its telephone number is (516) 228-8600.

    The  Company  designs,   markets  and  administers   service  contracts  and
warranties for new and used motor vehicles and  recreational  vehicles and, to a
lesser extent,  watercraft,  motorcycles and other vehicles.  A service contract
may be sold by any of the following entities:  (1) either the seller originating
the sale of the vehicle, (2) the financial institution financing the sale of the
vehicle, or (3) other entities,  including the Company,  which sell the contract
to the owner of the  vehicle  after the vehicle  has been  purchased.  A vehicle
service contract is an agreement  between either the seller or the administrator
of the service contract and the vehicle  purchaser under which the seller or the
administrator agrees to replace or repair for a specific term designated vehicle
parts  in  the  event  of a  mechanical  breakdown.  Vehicle  service  contracts
supplement,  or are in lieu of, manufacturers'  warranties and provide a variety
of extended coverage options (typically ranging from three months to seven years
and/or 3,000 miles to 150,000 miles).

    Each seller pays a net rate for each service  contract or warranty it sells.
This payment includes (i) an  administrative  fee for the Company from which the
Company pays any commission due the agent, (ii) insurance  premiums and fees for
the  insurance  underwriter,  and  (iii)  a claim  reserve  to be  placed  in an
interest-bearing loss reserve account maintained for the benefit of the contract
purchaser. The net rate for service contracts ranges from $75 to over $3,000 per
contract with a typical  average net rate per contract of $700 for a new or used
car,  $650 for a new  recreational  vehicle  and  $850  for a used  recreational
vehicle.  In most cases,  each seller is free to determine the price at which it
will sell the service contract to the purchaser. The amount a seller charges for
the  service  contract  in excess of the net rate is  additional  income to such
seller. The administrative fee for the Company ranges from $30 to $300 (prior to
the payment to the agent of any commission  which  generally  ranges from $10 to
$150) per contract,  which fee varies based on the type of service contract sold
by a seller.

    In April 1995, the Company formed an affiliated insurance company,  National
Service Contract  Insurance Company Risk Retention Group,  Inc.  ("NSC"),  which
underwrites a portion of the insurance  policies arranged by the Company.  Other
insurance  policies arranged by the Company are underwritten by member companies
of the Gulf Insurance Group and Royal and SunAlliance USA.

    The various vehicle  service  contract  programs  offered by the Company are
designed to provide sellers with an additional  source of revenue.  For example,
certain of the Company's  programs  provide that sellers and other  participants
who reach  certain  sales  volumes  receive  additional  revenues if, and to the
extent, claims paid on their service contracts are less than the claims reserves
maintained for such contracts. Under certain circumstances, the Company may also
be entitled to unconsumed  claim reserves,  including  reserves  attributable to
sellers who have not achieved specified sales volumes of service contracts.

    Initially,  the Company's  business  focused on extended  warranties for new
automobiles and, to a lesser extent, used cars. In the past five years, however,
a higher percentage of sales are from warranties for used cars. In addition, the
Company has expanded into other  markets and has realized an increasing  portion
of revenues from its recreational vehicle programs.
<PAGE>

    In February 1999, the Company formed a subsidiary,  Uautobid.com,  which had
developed  an internet  web site where a car buyer could  purchase a new or used
vehicle online  directly from a  participating  dealer.  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.

Marketing

    The  Company  markets  its  services  and  products,  using its  network  of
independent  representatives,  primarily  to dealers  and,  to a lesser  extent,
leasing companies,  finance companies and other service contract marketers.  The
Company  promotes its services and products to the  independent  representatives
and, to some  extent,  to dealers  primarily  through the  participation  of the
Company at trade shows and  advertising in trade  publications.  The Company has
also obtained  independent  representatives and dealers through  recommendations
and referrals from existing independent  representatives and dealers and others,
some of  which  receive  a  commission  from  the  Company  upon the sale of its
services and products. To assure a high level of competence and awareness of its
current  administrative  services and products, the Company provides initial and
on-going training for its independent representatives and dealers.

    The dealers  participating in the Company's programs sell motor vehicles and
recreational  vehicles  manufactured  by all of the  major  manufacturers  whose
products are sold in North America.  Most of the Company's dealers sell products
from more than one  manufacturer.  Accordingly,  the Company  does not focus its
sales and  marketing  efforts on any one  vehicle  manufacturer  or on any small
group of manufacturers.

    The  Company  enters  into  an  agreement  with  each  of  its   independent
representatives  which generally is terminable at any time by the Company or the
representative  upon  giving  of  30  days  written  notice  or by  the  Company
immediately  for cause.  The agreement  provides that,  among other things,  the
independent  representative  solicit sellers, on a non-exclusive  basis, for the
Company within  designated  territories  which may include one or more states or
portions  thereof.  Most independent  representatives  are compensated on a flat
rate  commission  basis.  Independent  representatives  may  sell  products  and
services of other companies,  including  competitors of the Company, and have no
obligation to sell the products and services offered by the Company.

    In order to sell service contracts to vehicle owners who had not purchased a
service contract at the time of their vehicle  purchase,  the Company also makes
sales through its own and third party call center facilities and through its own
and third party internet  sites.  To facilitate  such direct sales,  the Company
offers a service  contract  financing  program.  Under the  Company's  financing
program,  a purchaser of a service  contract is given the option to pay for such
contract  on a monthly  basis  over a period of time,  without  interest.  As of
October 31, 2000, the Company's  receivables from its financing  program totaled
approximately $5,639,000.  The Company believes its exposure from these financed
contracts is limited because the service contract is terminated if the purchaser
fails to make his monthly payments to the Company.

Competition

    The business of marketing  administrative services and related products, and
specifically  services  related to motor vehicle  service  contracts,  is highly
competitive  and  dominated  by the  major  automotive  manufacturers  and other
independent  third-party  administrators.  The  Company is unable to predict the
extent to which automobile manufacturers (by, for example,  extending the period
covered  under  vehicle  warranties)  may  reduce a  dealer's  ability to market
extended vehicle service contracts such as those administered by the Company.

    Although management of the Company believes that it is competitive with most
third-party administrators,  the Company's position in the overall market is not
significant.  In addition,  many of the Company's competitors have significantly
better financial resources and operating resources than those of the Company. In
order to be  competitive  in the  marketplace,  the Company  provides  insurance
coverage at competitive prices, offers a range of products and services believed
not to be available from most of its competitors and supports sales with service
to its dealers and the vehicle purchaser. The Company maintains a toll-free line
to facilitate customer service.

Seasonality

    A sale of a service  contract by the Company is  dependent  upon the sale of
the  primary  product  (such  as  motor  vehicles,   recreational  vehicles  and
watercraft) covered by the service contract. As a result, the Company's revenues
are  reduced in the  winter  months  when sales of new and used motor  vehicles,
recreational  vehicles and  watercraft are lower in some regions than during the
other months of the year.
<PAGE>


Government Regulation

    The service contract programs  developed and marketed by the Company and its
related  operations are regulated by the statutes and regulations of a number of
states.  Generally,  some states require registration of administrators and some
state statutes concern the scope of service contract coverage and the content of
the service contract or warranty document. In the latter instances,  these state
statutes typically require that specific  provisions be included in the contract
expressly  stating  the  purchaser's  rights  in the  event of a claim,  how the
service contract or warranty may be canceled and identification of the insurance
underwriter   indemnifying  the  sellers  or  administrators  against  loss  for
performance under the terms of the contracts. The Company believes that it is in
compliance in all material  respects with the applicable  regulations  governing
vehicle  service  contracts  and  warranties  in the  states  in  which  it does
business,  and in some  cases  relies on its  insurance  underwriters  and their
managing  agents to monitor such  regulations  and respond to any inquiries from
state authorities.

    The  issuance  of  insurance  policies  in respect of service  contracts  is
regulated  under the  insurance  laws and  regulations  of the  various  states.
Although  the  Company  believes  that  its  activities  as a  service  contract
administrator  are not directly  proscribed by such  regulations,  the Company's
ability  to  perform  its  activities  as a service  contract  administrator  is
affected by such  regulations.  The Company does not believe that as a result of
performing such activities it can be  characterized  as an insurance  company or
insurance  agent  under any state  insurance  statute  in the states in which it
currently operates. In the event that any state insurance regulators require the
Company to comply with insurance  statutes or regulations or become an insurance
agent,  the Company  will  evaluate  the cost of such  compliance  to  determine
whether the Company  will  conduct  business in the state.  NSC,  the  Company's
insurance  affiliate,  is  regulated  by federal  statutes  and must comply with
certain state  registration  requirements.  The Company  believes that NSC is in
compliance in all material  respects with the insurance laws and  regulations in
the states in which NSC does business.

    It is possible  that some states in which the Company now conducts  business
may effect  changes in the current laws which may regulate the activities of the
Company,  including the imposition of new financial or other requirements on the
Company.  In  such  event,  the  Company  would  have  to  meet  the  regulatory
requirements or cease to conduct business in such state or states.

    The Company  does  business in 47 states and believes it has complied in all
material  respects with  applicable  regulations in all such states.  Of such 47
states,  the  Company is able to sell only  certain  products  and  services  in
Connecticut,  Wisconsin and Washington because of certain insurance  regulations
in these states.

Employees

    As of December  31, 2000,  the Company had 129  full-time  employees  and 12
part-time  employees.  None of the Company  employees is  represented by a labor
union, and the Company considers its relations with its employees to be good.

Item 2.  Properties

    The Company currently  occupies  approximately  26,500 square feet of office
space at 333 Earle Ovington Blvd., Mitchel Field, New York 11553. Of such space,
13,000  square feet are occupied  pursuant to a ten-year  lease which  commenced
March 1, 1995,  at an initial  annual rent of  approximately  $300,000,  and the
remaining 13,500 square feet are occupied  pursuant to a six-year sublease which
commenced  October 1996 and was amended in November  1997, at an amended  annual
rent  of  approximately  $237,000.  (See  Note 8 to the  Notes  to  Consolidated
Financial Statements for future lease payments under this lease and sublease.)

Item 3.  Legal Proceedings

    The Company is a party to a litigation in Arizona  entitled Major  Wingfield
and Bonsey Wingfield v. Interstate  National Dealer Services,  Inc. in which the
plaintiffs  allege that the Company  improperly denied the payment of claims for
repairs under a vehicle service  contract.  During the fiscal year ended October
31, 2000, the Arizona  Superior Court entered a judgment against the Company for
approximately  $106,500 in damages,  including  exemplary  damages for "tortious
breach of contract."  The Company has appealed the lower court  decision and the
matter is currently pending before the appellate court.

    The Company is also subject to other ordinary routine litigation  incidental
to the ordinary course of business, none of which is material individually or in
the aggregate.

    As of January 19, 2001, there were 66 holders of record of Common Stock.

    The Company  has not paid cash  dividends  on the Common  Stock and does not
contemplate  paying cash  dividends  in the  foreseeable  future.  Instead,  the
Company intends to retain earnings for use in the Company's operations.

    In  September  1995,  the  Board  of  Directors  of the  Company  adopted  a
Shareholders  Rights Plan (the  "Rights  Plan") to help  protect  the  Company's
stockholders   against  certain  coercive  takeover  tactics  commonly  used  by
corporate  raiders  to  deprive  stockholders  of the  long-term  value of their
investment  through  transactions  that do not treat all  stockholders  equally.
Under the terms of the Rights Plan,  the Board of Directors  declared a dividend
of one common stock  purchase  right (a "Right") for each  outstanding  share of
Common Stock of the Company held by  stockholders of record on November 10, 1995
(the "Record Date"). Each Right entitles the holder to purchase from the Company
one share of Common  Stock at a price of $25 per share,  subject to  adjustment.
The  description  and terms of the  Rights  are set forth in a Rights  Agreement
dated as of October 24, 1995 between the Company and Continental  Stock Transfer
& Trust Company, as Rights Agent.

    Until the earlier to occur of (i) 10 days  following  a public  announcement
that a person  or group of  affiliated  or  associated  persons  (an  "Acquiring
Person") has  acquired  beneficial  ownership of 15% or more of the  outstanding
shares of Common  Stock or (ii) 10  business  days (or such later date as may be
determined by action of the Board of Directors  prior to such time as any person
becomes an Acquiring  Person)  following the commencement of, or an announcement

<PAGE>

of an intention to make, a tender offer or exchange  offer the  consummation  of
which would  result in the  beneficial  ownership by a person or group of 15% or
more of such  outstanding  shares (the  earlier of such dates  being  called the
"Distribution  Date"),  the Rights will be evidenced  with respect to any of the
Common Stock  certificates  outstanding  as of the Record  Date,  by such Common
Stock certificate with a copy of the Summary of Rights to Purchase Common Shares
attached thereto.  The Rights are not exercisable  until the Distribution  Date.
The Rights  will expire on November  10,  2005 (the  "Final  Expiration  Date"),
unless the Final  Expiration  Date is  extended or unless the Rights are earlier
redeemed by the Company, in each case, as described below.

    In the event that, after the Distribution Date, the Company is acquired in a
merger  or  other  business  combination  transaction  or  50%  or  more  of its
consolidated  assets or earning power are sold, proper provision will be made so
that each  holder of a Right will  thereafter  have the right to  receive,  upon
exercise thereof at the then current exercise price of the Right, that number of
shares  of  common  stock  of the  acquiring  company  which at the time of such
transaction  will have a market  value of two times  the  exercise  price of the
Right.  In the  event  that any  person  becomes  an  Acquiring  Person,  proper
provision  shall be made so that  each  holder  of a Right,  other  than  Rights
beneficially owned by the Acquiring Person (which will thereafter be void), will
thereafter  have the right to receive  upon  exercise  that  number of shares of
Common Stock having a market value of two times the exercise price of the Right.

    At any time  after the  acquisition  by an  Acquiring  Person of  beneficial
ownership  of 15% or more of the  outstanding  Common  Stock  and  prior  to the
acquisition by such Acquiring  Person of 50% or more of the  outstanding  Common
Stock, the Board of Directors of the Company may exchange the Rights (other than
Rights owned by such  Acquiring  Person which have become void),  in whole or in
part,  at an exchange  ratio of one share of Common Stock per Right  (subject to
adjustment).

    At any time prior to the  acquisition  by an Acquiring  Person of beneficial
ownership of 15% or more of the outstanding Common Stock, the Board of Directors
of the  Company may redeem the Rights in whole,  but not in part,  at a price of
$.01 per Right (the  "Redemption  Price").  The  redemption of the Rights may be
made effective at such time, on such basis and with such conditions as the Board
of  Directors  in its  sole  discretion  may  establish.  Immediately  upon  any
redemption  of the Rights,  the right to exercise the Rights will  terminate and
the only right of the holders of Rights will be to receive the Redemption Price.

    The terms of the  Rights may be  amended  by the Board of  Directors  of the
Company  without the consent of the holders of the Rights,  except that from and
after such time as any person becomes an Acquiring  Person no such amendment may
adversely  affect the  interests  of the  holders of the Rights  (other than the
Acquiring Person).

    Until a Right is exercised, the holder thereof, as such, will have no rights
as a stockholder of the Company,  including,  without  limitation,  the right to
vote or to receive dividends.

    There is no  separate  public  trading  market  for the  Rights.  Until  the
Distribution  Date, the Rights may be transferred  with and only with the shares
of Common Stock.

Item 7.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
         Results of Operations

Results of Operations

    For the Year ended  October 31, 2000  compared to the Year ended October
    31, 1999

      Revenues  increased  approximately  $5,503,000,  or 10%, to  approximately
$61,655,000  for the year ended  October 31,  2000 as compared to  approximately
$56,152,000 for the year ended October 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   $5,558,000,   or  20%,  to
approximately  $33,687,000  for the year ended  October 31, 2000, as compared to
approximately  $28,129,000  for the year ended October 31, 1999. As a percentage
of  revenues,  cost of  services  provided  increased  to 55% for the year ended
October 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  decreased  by  approximately  $55,000,  or less  than 1%,  to
approximately  $27,968,000  for the year ended  October 31, 2000, as compared to
approximately  $28,023,000 for the year ended October 31, 1999. This decrease is
primarily  attributable  to the  increase  in  costs  of  services  provided  as
described  above.  Gross  margin for the year ended  October 31, 2000 was 45% as
compared to 50% for the year ended October 31, 1999.  This decrease is primarily
attributable to an increase in claims expense.

    Selling,  general and  administrative  expenses  increased by  approximately
$1,700,000,  or 7%, to approximately  $26,539,000 for the year ended October 31,
2000,  up from  approximately  $24,839,000  for the year ended October 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 43% of  revenues  for the year ended
October 31, 2000 as compared to 44% for the year ended October 31, 1999.

    Investment  income  increased  by  approximately   $1,342,000,  or  72%,  to
approximately  $3,212,000  for the year ended  October 31, 2000,  as compared to
approximately  $1,870,000 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  October  31,  2000  and a  shift  of
investments  from  short  term  United  States  Treasury  Bills to  longer  term
government securities which provide a greater yield.

    Income  from  continuing   operations  before  provision  for  income  taxes
decreased by approximately $413,000, or 8%, to approximately  $4,625,000 for the
year ended October 31, 2000,  as compared to  approximately  $5,038,000  for the
same period in 1999. For the year ended October 31, 2000, the Company recorded a
provision for income taxes on continuing operations of approximately $1,755,000,
as  compared  to a  provision  for  income  taxes on  continuing  operations  of
approximately  $1,949,000  in the same period in 1999.  Income  from  continuing
operations was approximately  $2,871,000 for the year ended October 31, 2000, as
compared to approximately $3,089,000 for the year ended October 31, 1999.

    Loss from discontinued  operations net of taxes was  approximately  $803,000
for the year ended  October 31,  2000,  as compared  to  approximately  $274,000
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.

    Net income for the year ended October 31, 2000 was approximately $2,067,000,
as compared to  approximately  $2,815,000  for the same period in 1999.  Diluted
income per share from continuing  operations for the year ended October 31, 2000
decreased by $.01 to $.61 per share,  as compared to $.62 per share for the same
period in 1999. Diluted net income per share for the year ended October 31, 2000
was $.44 as compared to diluted net income per share of $.57 for the same period
in 1999.

      For the Year ended October 31, 1999 compared to the Year ended October 31,
      1998

      Revenues  increased  approximately  $6,869,000,  or 14%, to  approximately
$56,152,000  for the year ended  October 31,  1999 as compared to  approximately
$49,283,000 for the year ended October 31, 1998. 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;  (ii)  an  increase  in  the  administrative  fees  charged  per
contract;  and (iii) an increase in the number of service contracts accepted for
administration by the Company in fiscal 1999.

    Costs  of  services   provided,   which  consist  primarily  of  claims  and
cancellation  costs,   increased  by  approximately   $4,155,000,   or  17%,  to
approximately  $28,130,000  for the year ended  October 31, 1999, as compared to
approximately  $23,975,000  for the year ended October 31, 1998. As a percentage
of  revenues,  cost of  services  provided  increased  to 50% for the year ended
October  31,  1999 as  compared  to 49% in the same  period in 1998.  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 $2,714,000, or 11%, to approximately
$28,022,000  for the year ended October 31, 1999,  as compared to  approximately
$25,308,000  for the year ended  October 31,  1998.  This  increase is primarily
attributable  to the increase in revenues as described  above.  Gross margin for
the year ended  October  31,  1999 was 50% as compared to 51% for the year ended
October 31,  1998.  This  decrease is primarily  attributable  to an increase in
claims expense.

    Selling,  general and  administrative  expenses  increased by  approximately
$3,004,000,  or 14%, to approximately $24,839,000 for the year ended October 31,
1999,  up from  approximately  $21,835,000  for the year ended October 31, 1998.
This  increase  was in  large  part due to (i)  increases  in  selling  expenses
primarily  due to  increased  commissions  paid as a result of  increased  sales
revenue;  and (ii)  increases  in general  and  administrative  expenses  due to
increased personnel and printing costs resulting from increased sales volume and
the  development  of  new  service  contract  products.   Selling,  general  and
administrative  expenses  were 44% of revenues for both years ended  October 31,
1999 and October 31, 1998.

    Investment   income  increased  by  approximately   $387,000,   or  26%,  to
approximately  $1,870,000  for the year ended  October 31, 1999,  as compared to
approximately  $1,483,000 for the same period in 1998. The increase is primarily
the  result of  investment  income  generated  by funds  provided  by  operating
activities.  Other income,  net decreased by approximately  $113,000,  or 6%, to
approximately  $1,855,000  for the year ended  October 31, 1999,  as compared to
approximately  $1,968,000 for the year ended October 31, 1998.  This decrease is
attributable to non-recurring  other income of $500,000  received by the Company
in  settlement of a dispute with an  unaffiliated  party in the first quarter of
1998.

    Income  from  continuing   operations  before  provision  for  income  taxes
increased by approximately  $97,000, or 2%, to approximately  $5,038,000 for the
year ended October 31, 1999,  as compared to  approximately  $4,941,000  for the
same period in 1998, exclusive of the non recurring gain on settlement.  For the
year ended October 31, 1999, the Company had income from  continuing  operations
before  provision for income taxes of  approximately  $5,038,000  and recorded a
provision for income taxes on continuing operations of approximately $1,949,000,
as compared to income from  continuing  operations  before  provision for income
taxes of approximately $5,442,000 and a provision for income taxes on continuing
operations of approximately  $2,138,000 in the same period in 1998.  Income from
continuing operations decreased  approximately $215,000, or 7%, to approximately
$3,089,000  for the year ended  October 31,  1999 as  compared to  approximately
$3,304,000  for the year ended  October 31,  1998.  The  decrease in income from
continuing  operations  is the  result  of the  $500,000  non-recurring  gain on
settlement received in fiscal 1998.

    Loss from discontinued  operations net of taxes was  approximately  $274,000
for the year ended  October 31,  1999.  There were no losses  from  discontinued
operations during the same period in 1998. The loss from discontinued operations
resulted from costs incurred by the Company's  subsidiary,  Uautobid.com,  which
commenced  operations  in August 1999, 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.

    Net income for the year ended October 31, 1999 was approximately $2,815,000,
as compared to approximately $3,304,000 for the same period in 1998. Diluted net
income  per  share for the year  ended  October  31,  1999 was $.57 per share as
compared  to diluted  net income per share of $.67 for the same  period in 1998.
Diluted  net  income  per share from  continuing  operations  for the year ended
October 31, 1999 was $.62 per share,  or $.01 per share greater than diluted net
income per share from continuing operations for the year ended October 31, 1998,
excluding the $500,000 non-recurring gain on settlement.

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 $56,355,000 at October 31, 2000, as compared to approximately
$50,627,000  at October 31, 1999. The increase of  approximately  $5,728,000 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 January 19, 2001 the
Company had purchased  514,700  shares of treasury  stock at an average price of
$5.26 per share.  The Board of  Directors  has  approved  the  purchase of up to
1,000,000 shares of treasury stock.

    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 October 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.

Capital Expenditures

    The Company intends to spend  approximately  $350,000 in fiscal 2001 for the
purchase of computer hardware and software and telephone equipment to enable the
Company to increase its efficiency in administering  contracts and to expand its
internet presence.

Impact of Inflation

    The Company  does not believe  that  inflation  has had, or will have in the
foreseeable future, a material impact upon the Company's operating results.

                   REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS



To Interstate National Dealer Services, Inc.:


We have  audited the  accompanying  consolidated  balance  sheets of  Interstate
National Dealer Services,  Inc. (a Delaware  corporation) and subsidiaries as of
October  31,  2000  and  1999,  and  the  related  consolidated   statements  of
operations,  stockholders'  equity and  comprehensive  income and cash flows for
each of the three years in the period ended  October 31, 2000.  These  financial
statements   are  the   responsibility   of  the   Company's   management.   Our
responsibility  is to express an opinion on these financial  statements based on
our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable  assurance about whether the financial  statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting  the amounts and  disclosures in the financial  statements.  An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by  management,  as well as  evaluating  the  overall  financial  statement
presentation.  We believe  that our audits  provide a  reasonable  basis for our
opinion.

In our opinion,  the financial  statements  referred to above present fairly, in
all material  respects,  the financial  position of Interstate  National  Dealer
Services, Inc. and subsidiaries as of October 31, 2000 and 1999, and the results
of their  operations  and their  cash  flows for each of the three  years in the
period ended October 31, 2000 in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States.

          INTERSTATE NATIONAL DEALER SERVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                  FOR THE THREE YEARS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2000

1.  NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
    -------------------------------------------------------

Nature of Business

Interstate  National  Dealer  Services,  Inc. and  subsidiaries  (the "Company")
designs,  markets and administers  service  contracts and warranties for new and
used  motor  vehicles  and  recreational  vehicles  and,  to  a  lesser  extent,
watercraft,  motorcycles and other vehicles.  A service  contract may be sold by
any of the following entities: (1) either the seller originating the sale of the
vehicle, (2) the financial institution financing the sale of the vehicle, or (3)
other entities,  including the Company,  which sell the contract to the owner of
the vehicle after the vehicle has been purchased.  A vehicle service contract is
an  agreement  between  either the seller or the  administrator  of the  service
contract and the vehicle  purchaser under which the seller or the  administrator
agrees to replace or repair for a specific term designated  vehicle parts in the
event of a mechanical breakdown. Vehicle service contracts supplement, or are in
lieu of,  manufacturers'  warranties and provide a variety of extended  coverage
options  (typically  ranging from three months to seven years and/or 3,000 miles
to 150,000 miles) generally offered for sale by sellers to vehicle purchasers in
a manner  similar to other  options.  The Company  enters  into a  non-exclusive
agreement with each seller,  under which the Company obtains insurance  coverage
to cover such seller's  liability for claims under its vehicle service contracts
and  assists  such  seller,  and  purchasers,  with the making,  processing  and
adjustment of claims. In April 1995, the Company formed an affiliated  insurance
company,  National Service Contract Insurance Company Risk Retention Group, Inc.
("NSC").  Commencing March 1996, the insurance  policies arranged by the Company
as  administrator  to  its  dealers  were  underwritten  by  NSC  and  a  single
non-affiliated  insurance company.  In January 1998, the Company entered into an
agreement with a second non-affiliated insurance company to underwrite a portion
of its service contracts.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated  financial  statements  include the accounts of the Company and
its subsidiaries,  all of which are wholly-owned.  All significant  intercompany
transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. As required for
insurance companies, NSC has a December 31 year end.

Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of
three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Investments

The Company  accounts for  investments  in  accordance  with the  provisions  of
Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards ("SFAS") No. 115,  "Accounting for
Certain  Investments in Debt and Equity  Securities".  The Company's  short-term
investments  consist  of  Treasury  Bills  which are  stated at cost,  and which
approximate  fair  market  value at October  31,  2000 and 1999.  The  Company's
Marketable  Securities  consist of  securities  held to maturity and  securities
available  for sale.  Securities  held to maturity  include  long term  Treasury
Bills,  maturing between one and two years.  Long term Treasury Bills at October
31, 2000 and 1999 consist of $ 14,444,690 and -0-  respectively,  and are stated
at cost, which approximates fair market value. Securities available for sale are
reported at fair value,  with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings
and reported  separately as a component of stockholders'  equity on an after tax
basis as part of  comprehensive  income.  Gains and losses on the disposition of
securities are recognized on the specific identification method in the period in
which they occur.

Securities available for sale at October 31, 2000 consist of:

Investment  income for the years  ending  October 31, 2000,  1999,  and 1998 was
$3,212,400, $1,869,802 and $1,483,296, respectively.

Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment

Furniture,  fixtures  and  equipment  are stated at cost.  Depreciation  for all
assets  acquired prior to fiscal 1995 is calculated  using  accelerated  methods
over the  estimated  useful  lives of the  assets.  Depreciation  for all assets
acquired  thereafter  is  calculated  using the  straight  line  method over the
estimated useful lives of the assets. The asset lives are as follows:


      Furniture and fixtures          7 years
      Office equipment                5 to 10 years
      Leasehold improvements          the lesser of the lease term or useful
                                      life

Restricted Cash

In January  1998,  the Company  entered into an agreement  with a subsidiary  of
Orion Capital,  a member  company of Royal and  SunAlliance  USA  ("Orion"),  to
underwrite a portion of the insurance  coverage  arranged by the Company for its
service contract customers.  Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, the Company
deposits certain funds collected on the sale of contracts  insured by Orion into
an  escrow  account.   The  balance  of  this  escrow  account,   which  totaled
approximately   $6,471,000   and  $1,912,000  at  October  31,  2000  and  1999,
respectively, is included in restricted cash.

Pursuant  to  an  agreement  among  the  Company,   one  of  the  non-affiliated
underwriters  of the  insurance  policies  administered  by the  Company and its
managing  agent,  a specified  amount is required to be deposited into an escrow
account for each contract sold by the Company and  underwritten by such insurer.
These  funds  held in escrow by an  independent  third  party are to be used for
paying the costs of administering service contracts should the Company be unable
to do so for any reason. Under the agreement, the Company is entitled to receive
on a quarterly  basis, any funds in excess of a specified amount for each active
service  contract.  For the years ended  October 31,  2000,  1999 and 1998,  the
Company received approximately $219,000, $227,000 and $195,000, respectively, of
such funds,  which are  reflected in revenues in the  accompanying  consolidated
statements  of  operations.   The  balance  in  this  escrow   account   totaled
approximately $785,000 and $768,000 at October 31, 2000 and 1999,  respectively.
The same amounts have been reflected as contingency  payable in the accompanying
consolidated balance sheets.

Certain of the service contract programs offered by the Company provide that the
claim reserves generated by each dealer be placed in  interest-bearing  accounts
maintained  by The  Chase  Manhattan  Bank.  To the  extent  such  reserves  are
unconsumed  on expired  contracts,  then (a) with  respect to dealers  who reach
specified sales volumes of service contracts,  such unconsumed  reserves and any
interest earned thereon are distributed  (subject to the  underwriter's  consent
based on its satisfaction that a dealer's reserves are in an amount in excess of
an  actuarially  acceptable  level) to the dealer  and (b) with  respect to each
other  dealer,  such  unconsumed  reserves and any interest  earned  thereon are
distributed to the Company  (subject to the  underwriter's  consent based on its
satisfaction  that  a  dealer's  reserves  are  in an  amount  in  excess  of an
actuarially  acceptable  level).  The Company did not receive a distribution  of
such  unconsumed  reserves in the years  ended  October 31, 2000 and October 31,
1999. The Company received  approximately  $122,000 of such unconsumed  reserves
for the year ended  October  31,  1998,  which is  reflected  in revenues in the
accompanying  consolidated  statements  of  operations.  The  balance  in  these
interest-bearing  accounts  totaled  approximately  $1,695,000  and$1,748,000 at
October 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The same amounts have been reflected as
contingency payable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Reserve for Claims

Reserve  for claims  represents  claims  that were  approved  for  payment as of
October 31, 2000 and 1999, but not paid as of those respective dates.

Comprehensive Income

The Company  follows the  provisions of SFAS No. 130,  "Reporting  Comprehensive
Income,"  which  requires  companies  to report all  changes in equity  during a
period.  Comprehensive income is the total of net income and other comprehensive
income/loss which includes unrealized  gains/losses on securities  classified as
available-for-sale, foreign currency translation adjustments and minimum pension
liability  adjustments.  Included in other comprehensive  income for the periods
ending  October 31, 2000 and October 31, 1999 are an unrealized  gain of $23,490
and  an  unrealized  loss  of  $57,883,  respectively,  on  available  for  sale
securities.

Segment reporting

The Company follows the provisions of SFAS No. 131,  "Disclosures About Segments
of an Enterprise and Related  Information"  which  requires  companies to report
certain  information by operating  segment.  The Company  currently  believes it
operates in one segment.

Revenues

Revenues relating to administrative  and insurance fees from the sale of vehicle
service  contracts are recognized when the service contract sold is approved and
accepted by the Company.  Revenues are deferred on vehicle service  contracts in
those instances where the Company directly receives cash for that portion of the
total service contract that is allocated to estimated claims reserves.  Deferred
contract  revenue is recorded as earned over the life of the service contract in
proportion to expected claims.

Income Taxes

The  Company  accounts  for  income  taxes in  accordance  with  SFAS  No.  109,
"Accounting  for  Income  Taxes".  This  pronouncement   establishes   financial
accounting  and reporting  standards for the effects of income taxes that result
from the  Company's  activities  during  the  current  and  preceding  years and
requires an asset and liability approach for financial  accounting and reporting
for income  taxes.  The  provision  for income  taxes is based upon income after
adjustment  for  those   permanent   items  which  are  not  considered  in  the
determination of taxable income.  Deferred taxes result when the Company records
deductions  or  recognizes  revenue for income tax purposes in a different  year
than for financial reporting purposes.

Stock Based Compensation

The Company  accounts for  stock-based  compensation in accordance with SFAS No.
123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation". This pronouncement establishes a
fair  value  based  method  of  accounting   and   reporting   for   stock-based
compensation.  Under SFAS No.  123,  companies  may elect to follow the new fair
value based method or to continue to report under  Accounting  Principles  Board
Opinion No. 25 ("APB  25"),  "Accounting  for Stock  Issued to  Employees".  The
Company has elected to follow the  accounting  guidance of APB 25 with pro forma
disclosure of the fair value method specified in SFAS No. 123.

Net Income Per Share

The Company reports earnings per share in accordance with the provisions of 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.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial  statements in conformity  with generally  accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported  amounts of certain assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent  assets and  liabilities at the date of the financial  statements and
the  reported  amounts of revenues  and expenses  during the  reporting  period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassifications

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

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In June 1998,  The  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board Issued SFAS No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivative  Instruments and Hedging  Activities." This statement
establishes  accounting  and  reporting  standards for  derivative  instruments,
including certain derivative  instruments  embedded in other contracts,  and for
hedging activities.  SFAS No. 133 is effective for all fiscal quarters of fiscal
years  beginning  after June 15,  2000 (as amended by SFAS No. 137) and will not
require  retroactive  restatement  of prior period  financial  statements.  This
statement  requires the  recognition  of all  derivative  instruments  as either
assets or liabilities  in the balance sheet  measured at fair value.  Derivative
instruments  will be recognized  as gains or losses in the period of change.  If
certain  conditions are met where the derivative  instrument has been designated
as a fair  value  hedge,  the hedged  item may also be marked to market  through
earnings thus creating an offset. If the derivative is designed and qualifies as
a cash flow hedge, the changes in fair value of the derivative instrument may be
recorded in  comprehensive  income.  The Company  presently does not make use of
derivative instruments.

The differences between the provision for income taxes and income taxes computed
using the U.S. Federal statutory income tax rate were as follows:




                                  October 31,

                           ===          ===          ===


The deferred income taxes of approximately $3,732,000 which have been paid as of
October  31,  2000,  result from  temporary  differences  between the  financial
accounting and income tax treatment of deferred contract revenue.

4.  LINE OF CREDIT:
    ---------------

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 October 31, 2000 and
1999, no amounts had been borrowed under the credit facility.

5.  STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY:
    --------------------

a)  1993 Stock Option Plan

On  November  1, 1992,  the  Company  granted  certain  officers  and  employees
non-qualified  stock options for the purchase of up to 184,000  shares of common
stock and on May 5,  1993,  such non-  qualified  stock  options  were  formally
included in the Company's 1993 Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") adopted as of such
date.  Under the Plan,  as  amended,  344,000  shares of common  stock have been
reserved for issuance upon exercise of incentive stock options or  non-qualified
stock options to be granted to officers and employees  who are  instrumental  to
the  success  of the  Company.  The  majority  of  options  are  exercisable  in
increments of 20% of the underlying  option shares per annum following the first
anniversary of the issuance date.  However, no option shall be exercisable after
the expiration of ten years from the date the option was granted.

The following  options to purchase the Company's  common shares were outstanding
under the Plan at October 31, 2000:

As of October 31, 2000,  options to purchase 205,901 shares were exercisable and
12,400 shares were available for future grant.

b)  1996 Incentive Plan

On December  18, 1995 the Board of  Directors  of the Company  approved the 1996
Incentive  Plan (the  "Incentive  Plan").  The  Incentive  Plan  authorizes  the
granting of incentive  awards through  grants of share options,  grants of share

d)  SFAS No. 123

The  Company  has  adopted  the  disclosure-only  provisions  of SFAS  No.  123,
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation".  Accordingly,  the Company has chosen
to continue to account for stock based employee compensation using the intrinsic
value method  prescribed in Accounting  Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25,
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees."  Compensation cost for stock options
is measured as the excess,  if any, of the quoted  market price of the Company's
stock at the date of grant over the amount an  employee  must pay to acquire the
stock.  In  accordance  with APB Opinion No. 25, no  compensation  cost has been
recognized  by the  Company,  as all  option  grants  have been made at the fair
market value of the  Company's  stock on the date of grant.  . Had  compensation
cost for the  Company's  stock  option plans been  determined  based on the fair
value at the grant date for  options  granted in fiscal  2000,  1999 and 1998 as
described  by the  provisions  of SFAS No.  123,  the  Company's  net income and
diluted net income per share would have been decreased as indicated below:

The fair value of each option  grant is estimated on the date of grant using the
Black-Scholes  option-pricing model. The following weighted-average  assumptions
were used for grants in 2000:  dividend yield of 0%; expected volatility of 50%;
risk-free  interest rate of 6.65%;  expected life of 5 years and a fair value of
$2.47. The following weighted-average  assumptions were used for grants in 1999:
dividend yield of 0%;  expected  volatility of 50%;  risk-free  interest rate of
5.13%;  expected  life of 5 years  and a fair  value  of  $5.34.  The  following
weighted-average assumptions were used for grants in 1998: dividend yield of 0%;
expected  volatility of 50%; risk-free interest rate of 4.6%; expected life of 5
years and a fair value of $2.74.

f)  Shareholders Rights Plan

In September  1995, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted a Shareholders
Rights  Plan (the  "Rights  Plan") to help  protect the  Company's  stockholders
against certain coercive  takeover tactics commonly used by corporate raiders to
deprive  stockholders  of  the  long-term  value  of  their  investment  through
transactions that do not treat all stockholders equally.  Under the terms of the
Rights  Plan,  the Board of  Directors  declared a dividend of one common  stock
purchase  right (a "Right")  for each  outstanding  share of Common Stock of the
Company held by stockholders of record on November 10, 1995. Each Right entitles
the holder to purchase  from the Company one share of Common Stock at a price of
$25 per share, subject to adjustment.

6.  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:

In January  1998,  the Company  entered into an agreement  with a subsidiary  of
Orion to underwrite a portion of the insurance  coverage arranged by the Company
for  its  service  contract  customers.   Concurrently,  Orion  entered  into  a
reinsurance  agreement with Target Insurance Ltd. ("Target"),  which is owned by
certain  shareholders of the Company,  which provided  reinsurance for losses to
Orion under its agreement with the Company.  During fiscal 2000,  1999 and 1998,
Target received  approximately  $52,600,  $15,000 and $2,100,  respectively,  in
premiums  under its agreement  with Orion.  In addition,  in January  1998,  NSC
entered into a reinsurance  agreement  with a subsidiary of Orion which provides
reinsurance  for losses to NSC under certain  circumstances.  Concurrently,  the
Company  entered into  agreements  to indemnify  Orion and Target for any losses
incurred under the  aforementioned  agreements.  There were no such losses,  and
there were no payments made by the Company under the indemnification  agreements
in fiscal 2000, 1999 or 1998.

7.  EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN:
    ----------------------

The Company  maintains a 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan covering  substantially  all
full-time  employees,  and provides for employee  contributions  of up to 15% of
their salary.  The Company did not match employee  contributions  in fiscal 1999
and 1998.  In fiscal  2000,  the Company  amended the plan and matched  employee
contributions up to 50% of the first 3% of each employee's contribution,  not to
exceed  1  1/2%  of  the  employee's  gross  salary.   The  Company's   matching
contribution  for fiscal  2000 was  approximately  $28,000.  The  Company  makes
contributions  to the profit sharing portion of the plan which is  discretionary
and non-contributory. The Company did not make a contribution for the year ended
October 31,  2000.  Approximately  $101,000 and $82,000 was  contributed  by the

performance  bonus may be granted  each year at the  discretion  of the Board of
Directors. In the event of Mr. Luby's death or the termination of his employment
agreement  the amount  the  Company  paid for his  split-dollar  life  insurance
policies  which  are  recorded  as   non-interest   bearing  loans  and  totaled

11. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS:
    -----------------------

In February 1999, the Company formed a subsidiary, Uautobid.com, which developed
an  internet  web site where a car buyer  could  purchase a new or used  vehicle
online directly from a participating  dealer.  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.

Stock Option Plan

    The  Company's  Amended and Restated 1993 Stock Option Plan, as amended (the
"Option  Plan"),  is designed to attract,  retain and motivate key  employees by
granting them options to purchase Common Stock. The Option Plan provides for the
grant of a maximum of 344,000 shares of Common Stock and permits the granting of
stock options to employees which are either  "incentive stock options"  ("ISOs")
meeting the requirements of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the "Code"), or "nonqualified stock options" ("NSOs").  The Option Plan
is  administered  by a Stock Option and  Compensation  Committee of the Board of
Directors  established  for such  purpose and  consisting  of Donald  Kirsch and
William Brown, independent directors of the Company. Subject to the terms of the
Option Plan, such Committee  determines the recipients of options and the number
of options to be granted  under the Option Plan.  The Option Plan also  provides
for the Stock Option and  Compensation  Committee to establish an exercise price
for ISOs and NSOs that is not less than the fair  market  value per share at the
date of grant.  As of October 31, 2000,  options to purchase  216,401  shares of
Common  Stock  were  outstanding  under  the  Option  Plan,  all  of  which  are
exercisable  at  January  19,  2001.  Under the Option  Plan,  a total of 12,400
additional options may be granted.

Incentive Plan

    The Company's  1996 Incentive Plan (the  "Incentive  Plan"),  is designed to
assist the Company in attracting and retaining selected  individuals to serve as
directors, officers, consultants, advisors and employees of the Company who will
contribute to the Company's long-term success. The Incentive Plan authorizes the
granting of incentive awards through grants of options to purchase Common Stock,
grants of Common Stock  appreciation  rights,  grants of Common  Stock  purchase
awards and grants of restricted  Common Stock.  The Incentive  Plan provides for
the grant of a  maximum  of  300,000  shares of  Common  Stock and  permits  the
granting of stock  options  which are either ISOs  meeting the  requirements  of
Section  422 of the Code,  or NSOs.  The  Incentive  Plan is  administered  by a
Committee of the Board of Directors  established for such purpose and consisting
of Donald  Kirsch and  William  Brown,  independent  directors  of the  Company.
Subject  to the terms of the  Incentive  Plan,  such  Committee  determines  the
recipients  of awards and the number of awards to be granted under the Incentive
Plan.  The  Incentive  Plan also  provides  for the  Committee  to  establish an
exercise price for ISOs and NSOs that is, in the case of ISOs, not less than the
fair market value per share at the date of grant.

    In  addition  to grants of  discretionary  awards  by the Stock  Option  and
Compensation  Committee,  the Incentive  Plan  provides for automatic  grants of
options to purchase  15,000 shares to all  independent  directors (as defined in
the Incentive  Plan) at an exercise  price equal to the fair market value of the
Common Stock,  upon the  appointment of an independent  director to the Board of
Directors.  As of October 31, 2000, options to purchase 226,800 shares of Common
Stock  were  outstanding  under  the  Incentive  Plan,   145,800  of  which  are
exercisable  at January 19, 2001.  Under the  Incentive  Plan, a total of 38,900
additional options may be granted.

Employment Agreements

    On  November  1, 1998,  the Company  entered  into an Amended  and  Restated
Employment  Agreement  with  Chester J. Luby  providing  for his  employment  as
Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief  Executive  Officer of the Company.
This  employment  agreement  terminates  on December  31, 2010.  However,  it is
automatically extended for additional one-year periods unless either the Company
or Mr. Luby provides written notice that no further extensions shall be granted.

    Mr. Luby is to be paid an annual salary of $250,000,  which may be increased
annually in the discretion of the Board of Directors.  Mr. Luby is also entitled
to an annual  bonus on  account  of each  fiscal  year  equal to the  greater of
$150,000 or 4 1/2% of the Company's  earnings before interest  expense and taxes
for the fiscal year.  In addition to his annual  salary and bonus,  Mr. Luby may
also be paid an  annual  performance  bonus in the  discretion  of the  Board of
Directors.  However, the amount, if any, of this bonus is determined at the sole
discretion  of the members of the Board.  Mr. Luby's  "Total  Compensation"  (as
defined in the  employment  agreement) for any fiscal year is defined as the sum
of his annual  salary,  annual bonus and annual  performance  bonus (if any) for
that fiscal year.

    Under the terms of his employment agreement, Mr. Luby is entitled to the use
of a  leased  car and  reimbursement  for all  operating  expenses  for the car,
reimbursement for travel expenses incurred in attending conferences and meetings
of certain trade  associations and certain other business and employment related
expenses,  and premium payments for split dollar life insurance policies for the
benefit  of Mr.  Luby and his  family.  With  respect to the  split-dollar  life
insurance  policies,  the premium  payments  made by the Company are recorded as
non-interest  bearing loans and total  approximately  $374,000 as of October 31,
<PAGE>


2000.  This amount will be  reimbursed to the Company in the event of Mr. Luby's
death  or  the   termination   of  his   employment   agreement   under  certain
circumstances.

    If Mr. Luby dies during the term of his  employment  agreement,  the Company
will pay to his  estate a death  benefit  in an amount  equal to five  times Mr.
Luby's annual salary for the most recent  fiscal year  immediately  prior to his
death. If Mr. Luby's employment is terminated  because he becomes disabled,  the
Company will pay him  disability  benefits  equal to fifty  percent (50%) of his
average  Total  Compensation  during the three most recent fiscal years prior to
his  disability.  This annual  disability  benefit is payable  until Mr.  Luby's
death.  If Mr. Luby  terminates  his employment by the Company for "good reason"
(as  defined in the  employment  agreement)  or if the  Company  terminates  his
employment other than for "good cause" (as defined in the employment  agreement)
or  disability,  then  he is  entitled  to be  paid  the  amount  of  his  Total
Compensation for the Company's most recent fiscal year immediately  prior to his
termination multiplied by a factor equal to the greater of two (2) or the number
of  years  (including  fractions)  remaining  in  the  term  of  his  employment
agreement.  If Mr. Luby retires during the term of his employment agreement,  he
is to be paid  retirement  benefits  equal to fifty  percent  (50%) of his Total
Compensation  for the Company's most recent fiscal year prior to his retirement.
This annual retirement benefit is payable until Mr. Luby's death. If Mr. Luby is
an  employee  of the  Company  immediately  prior to a "Change in  Control"  (as
defined in the  employment  agreement)  of the Company all stock options he owns
immediately vest and become exercisable. In addition, the Company is required to
pay Mr. Luby an amount equal to the number of shares of Common Stock  underlying
his  options  multiplied  by the  amount,  if any,  that the  lesser  of (i) the
exercise  price of Mr. Luby's options or (ii) the closing price of the Company's
shares on the date of the Change in Control,  exceeds the average  closing price
of the Company's shares during the period beginning 180 days and ending 150 days
prior to the date of the Change in Control.  Upon  receipt of this  payment from
the Company,  Mr. Luby may then retain or exercise  his options.  Alternatively,
Mr. Luby may forfeit his options to the Company in exchange for payment equal to
the difference  between the closing price of the Company's shares on the date of
the Change in Control and the exercise price of his options.

    Mr. Luby's  employment  agreement  also contains a three year  "non-compete"
clause.  This clause does not apply in the event that Mr.  Luby  terminates  his
employment  with the Company for "good reason" or if the Company  terminates Mr.
Luby's  employment  for  reasons  other than  disability  or "proper  cause," as
defined in the employment agreement.

    On  November  1, 1998,  the Company  entered  into an Amended  and  Restated
Employment  Agreement  with  Cindy  H.  Luby  providing  for her  employment  as
President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company.  This employment agreement
terminates  on December  31, 2010.  However,  it is  automatically  extended for
additional  one-year  periods  unless  either the Company or Ms.  Luby  provides
written notice that no further extensions shall be granted.

    Ms. Luby is to be paid an annual salary of $175,000,  which may be increased
annually in the discretion of the Board of Directors.  Ms. Luby is also entitled
to an annual  bonus on  account  of each  fiscal  year  equal to the  greater of
$100,000 or 3 1/2% of the Company's  earnings before interest  expense and taxes
for the fiscal year.  In addition to her annual  salary and bonus,  Ms. Luby may
also be paid an  annual  performance  bonus in the  discretion  of the  Board of
Directors.  However, the amount, if any, of this bonus is determined at the sole
discretion of the members of the Board.  Ms. Luby's Total  Compensation  for any
fiscal year is defined as the sum of her annual salary,  annual bonus and annual
performance bonus (if any) for that fiscal year.

    Under the terms of her employment agreement, Ms. Luby is entitled to the use
of a leased car and  reimbursement  for all  operating  expenses for the car and
reimbursement for business expenses and employment  related expenses,  including
travel expenses incurred in attending  conferences and meetings of certain trade
associations and dues of certain associations.

    If Ms. Luby dies during the term of her  employment  agreement,  the Company
will pay to her  estate a death  benefit  in an amount  equal to five  times Ms.
Luby's annual salary for the most recent  fiscal year  immediately  prior to her
death. If Ms. Luby's employment is terminated because she becomes disabled,  the
Company will pay her  disability  benefits  equal to fifty  percent (50%) of her
average  Total  Compensation  during the three most recent fiscal years prior to
her disability.  This annual disability benefit is payable for the longer of two
(2) years or the balance of the term of her  employment  agreement.  If Ms. Luby
terminates her employment by the Company for "good reason", or if her employment
is terminated by the Company for reasons other than "good cause" or  disability,
then she is  entitled  to be paid the amount of her Total  Compensation  for the
Company's  most  recent  fiscal  year  immediately   prior  to  the  termination
multiplied  by a factor  equal to the  greater of two (2) or the number of years
(including fractions) remaining in the term of her employment agreement.  If Ms.
Luby is an employee of the Company  immediately  prior to a Change in Control of
the Company, all stock options she owns immediately vest and become exercisable.
In  addition,  the Company is  required  to pay Ms. Luby an amount  equal to the
<PAGE>


number of shares  of Common  Stock  underlying  her  options  multiplied  by the
amount,  if any, that the lesser of (i) the exercise price of Ms. Luby's options
or (ii) the closing price of the  Company's  shares on the date of the Change in
Control,  exceeds the average  closing price of the Company's  shares during the
period beginning 180 days and ending 150 days prior to the date of the Change in
Control. Upon receipt of this payment from the Company, Ms. Luby may then retain
or exercise her options. Alternatively,  Ms. Luby may forfeit her options to the
Company in exchange  for  payment  equal to the  difference  between the closing
price of the  Company's  shares  on the date of the  Change in  Control  and the
exercise price of her options.

    Ms. Luby's  employment  agreement  also contains a three year  "non-compete"
clause.  This clause does not apply in the event that Ms.  Luby  terminates  her
employment  with the Company for good  reason or if the Company  terminates  Ms.
Luby's employment for reasons other than disability or proper cause.

    On  February  1, 1999,  the Company  entered  into an Amended  and  Restated
Employment  Agreement  with Lawrence J. Altman  providing for his  employment as
Senior Vice President,  Marketing,  of the Company.  This  employment  agreement
terminates on January 31, 2004.

    Mr. Altman is to be paid an annual salary of $70,710, which may be increased
annually  in the  discretion  of the  Company.  Mr.  Altman is also  entitled to
receive  monthly  commissions  equal  to 2% of (i) all  administrative  fees for
vehicle service contracts and vehicle warranties paid to the Company during each
calendar month minus (ii) the aggregate selling expenses incurred by the Company
for such month  minus (iii )  $150,000.  In  addition  to his annual  salary and
monthly commissions,  Mr. Altman may also be paid an annual performance bonus in
an amount,  if any,  determined  at the sole  discretion  of the  members of the
Board.  Mr.  Altman's  "Total   Compensation"  (as  defined  in  the  employment
agreement)  for any fiscal  year is  defined  as the sum of his  annual  salary,
monthly commissions and annual performance bonus (if any) for that fiscal year.

    If Mr. Altman dies during the term of his employment agreement,  the Company
will  pay to his  estate  a  death  benefit  in an  amount  equal  to the  Total
Compensation  paid to Mr. Altman for the Company's most recent fiscal year prior
to his  death.  If Mr.  Altman's  employment  is  terminated  because he becomes
disabled,  the Company will pay him  disability  benefits equal to fifty percent
(50%) of his Total  Compensation  for the  Company's  most  recent  fiscal  year
immediately  prior  to Mr.  Altman's  disability  termination.  Such  disability
benefits  are to be paid for the longer of two years or the  balance of the term
of the  employment  agreement.  If Mr. Altman  terminates  his employment by the
Company for "good reason" or if the Company terminates his employment other than
for "proper cause" or  disability,  then he is entitled to be paid the amount of
his Total Compensation for the Company's most recent fiscal year multiplied by a
factor of two.

    If Mr. Altman is an employee of the Company  immediately  prior to a "Change
in Control"  of the  Company,  all stock  options he owns  immediately  vest and
become  exercisable.  In addition,  the Company is required to pay Mr. Altman an
amount equal to the number of Shares  underlying  his options  multiplied by the
amount,  if any, by which the lesser of (i) the exercise  price of Mr.  Altman's
options or (ii) the  closing  price of the  Company's  Shares on the date of the
Change in Control  exceeds the average  closing  price of the  Company's  Shares
during  the period  beginning  180 days and ending 150 days prior to the date of
the Change in Control. Upon receipt of this payment from the Company, Mr. Altman
may then retain or exercise his options. Alternately, Mr. Altman may forfeit his
options to the Company in exchange for payment equal to the  difference  between
the closing price of the  Company's  Shares on the date of the Change in Control
and the exercise price of his options.

    Mr. Altman's employment agreement contains a two year "non-compete"  clause.
This  clause  does  not  apply  in the  event  that Mr.  Altman  terminates  his
employment  with the Company for good  reason or if the Company  terminates  Mr.
Altman's employment for reasons other than disability or proper cause.
