periods are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.

NOTE 2 - PRIVATE PLACEMENT OF COMMON STOCK

         On March 11,  1997,  the  Company's  Board of Directors  ("The  Board")
authorized the sale of up to 2,500,000  shares of the Company's  common stock to
accredited  investors at $1.00. During the six month period ended June 30, 1997,
the  Company  sold  915,000  shares  of  common  stock  which,  after  deducting
commissions and other offering expenses, resulted in net proceeds to the Company
of $897,300. Beginning in June 1, 1996 and continuing through June 30, 1997, the
Company sold an aggregate of 2,220,000  shares of common stock  through  private
placements to accredited investors.

NOTE 3 - CONVERTIBLE NOTE OBLIGATIONS

         During the six month  period ended June 30,  1997,  the Company  issued
convertible notes for the purpose of obtaining capital to open two new branches.
The convertible  notes require payment of interest only for eighteen (18) months
at an interest rate equal to the prime rate (in effect) plus 2 1/2%. At any time
within  the  eighteen  (18)  months,  the note  holders  will have the option of
converting the  obligation  into common stock of the Company at $1.00 per share.
The  convertible  notes are secured by furniture and equipment in the respective
branches.

NOTE 4 - INCOME TAXES

         The Company  accounts for income taxes in accordance  with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 ("Statement 109"), "Accounting for Income
Taxes."  Statement  109 provides  that  deferred tax assets and  liabilities  be
recognized for temporary  differences  between the financial reporting basis and
the tax basis of the Company's  assets and liabilities and expected  benefits of
utilizing net operation loss and credit  carryforwards.  Deferred tax assets and
liabilities  are measured  using enacted tax rates  expected to apply to taxable
income in the years in which  those  temporary  differences  are  expected to be
recovered or settled.

NOTE 5 - EARNINGS PER SHARE

         In February  1997,  the Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No 128 - "Earnings per Share" ("SFAS
128") which specifies the computation,  presentation and disclosure requirements
for EPS.  SFAS 128 replaces the  presentation  of primary and fully  diluted EPS
pursuant to  Accounting  Principles  Board Opinion No. 15 - "Earnings per Share"
("APB 15") with the presentation of basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS excludes

dilution and is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders
by the weighted  average  number of common  shares  outstanding  for the period.
Diluted EPS reflects the  potential  dilution  that could occur if securities or
other  contracts to issue common stock were  exercised or converted  into common
stock or  resulted  in the  issuance  of common  stock  that then  shared in the
earnings  of the  entity.  The  Company is  required  to adopt SFAS 128 with its
December 31, 1997 financial  statements and restate all  prior-period  EPS data.
The Company will  continue to account for EPS under APB 15 until that time.  The
Company does not believe  there will be a material  change  under the  reporting
requirements of SFAS 128.

ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT'S  DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL  CONDITION AND RESULT
        OF OPERATIONS

         The  1996  Form  10-KSB  and  the  Annual  Report  should  be  read  in
conjunction  with  the  following   discussion   since  it  contains   important
information  for  evaluating  the  Company's  operating  results  and  financial
condition.

Operating Revenues

         Operating  revenues  increased by  $2,189,880 or 195% for the six month
period  ended June 30, 1997  compared to the same  period  ended June 30,  1996.
Operating  revenue  increased  $425,097 or 29.4% for the three months ended June
30, 1997 compared to the three months ended March 31, 1997. The revenue increase
is attributable to the company's  expansion into Maricopa County,  Arizona,  and
increased market share in Yavapai County, Arizona.

         The Company  began  operations  in  Maricopa  County on August 1, 1996.
Since beginning operations in Maricopa County, the Company has opened Maricopa's
headquarters  and five (5) branch  sites.  The June,  1997 Sykes  Report  listed
Capital Title as the 12th largest title company in Maricopa County with 3.51% of
the overall June, 1997 market share.  The following  table presents  information
regarding the approximate monthly revenue,  escrow openings, and escrow closings
from Maricopa operations:

                                               Escrow        Escrow
        For the Month Ended     Revenue       Openings      Closings
        -------------------     -------       --------      --------
        December 31, 1996      $215,000          335           186
        January 31, 1997        230,000          386           224
        February 28, 1997       223,000          443           200
        March 31, 1997          309,000          559           320
        April 30, 1997          316,000          598           340
        May 31, 1997            361,000          526           335
        June 30, 1997           361,000          610           312

         Revenues  from Maricopa  operations  have been growing at a steady rate
since Maricopa operations began in August, 1996. Management expects the trend to
continue as additional  branches are opened.  Two  additional  branches,  one in
Northwest  Phoenix and one in North  Scottsdale,  are  scheduled  to open in the
third quarter of 1997.

         Revenues from Yavapai operations  increased  approximately  $269,675 or
24% for the six month  period  ended June 30,  1997  compared to the same period
ended June 30,  1996.  The  increase  in revenue  is due to an  increase  in the
Company's market share which went from approximately 20% in June, 1996 to 29.23%
in June,  1997.  Since  December,  1996,  the Company's  market share in Yavapai
County has increased from 23.01% to 29.23%.

Expenses

         Personnel  costs,  including  commissions,  are  the  most  significant
component of the Company's operating expenses. For the six months ended June 30,
1997, personnel costs including commissions equaled $2,240,942 or 67.6% of total
revenue.  For the three  month  period  ended  June 30,  1997,  personnel  costs
including  commissions equaled $1,174,666 or 62.9% of total revenue.  Escrow and
title  revenues are not  recognized  until escrow  closes;  therefore,  revenues
usually lag behind the expenses to generate  the revenue by 45 to 90 days.  As a
result,  personnel costs as a percent of revenue will increase during  expansion
and  return to normal two or three  months  later.  During the first  quarter in
1997,  the  Company  opened a new branch and hired  several  experienced  escrow
officers for Maricopa and Yavapai  County  operations.  The Company did not open
any new branches in the second quarter.  Management  expects  personnel costs to
rise as a percentage of revenue in the third  quarter due to the Company's  plan
to open two additional branches in Maricopa County.

         The significant  components of other operation  expenses  include rent,
supplies, utilities,  insurance, title underwriting,  depreciation,  title plant
maintenance  and access,  and  postage and  delivery  charges.  Other  operating
expenses  increased  from  $467,117 or 42.4% of total  revenue to  $1,429,285 or
43.1% of total  revenue for the six month period ended June 30, 1997 compared to
the same time period in 1996.  Other operating  expenses have increased  $53,087
for the three  months  ended June 30, 1997  compared to the three  months  ended
March 31,  1997.  However,  other  operating  expenses  as a percent  of revenue
decreased  from 48.9% to 38.7% for the three months ended June 30, 1997 compared
to the three months ended March 31, 1997. Other operating expenses increased due
to the increase in escrow orders, and the fixed costs associated with opening an
additional branch in the first quarter.

         The Company has implemented cost control measures and capital budgeting
to reduce costs while  maintaining the Company's high level of service and plans
for continued expansion.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         As the Company  expanded into Maricopa County,  Arizona,  the Company's
liquidity requirements have also increased as a result of working capital needs.
The Company  generated  $969,328 in cash from  financing  activities  in the six
month  period  ended June 30,  1997  compared  to $611,322 in the same period of
1996.  During  the six month  periods  ended  June 30,  1997 and 1996,  the cash
generated from financing  activities was used to pay for operations and purchase
equipment   which   resulted  in  net  cash  flows  of  $462,862  and  $301,886,
respectively.

         Management expects the cash provided from operations to adequately fund
operations  and the opening of two  additional  branches in the third quarter of
1997.  The short and  long-term  liquidity  requirements  of the Company and its
subsidiary  are monitored  regularly.  Management  believes the Company can meet
both its short and long-term capital needs as of June 30, 1997.

the holder has the option of converting the outstanding  obligation  represented
by any  convertible  note  into  shares  of  Common  Stock of the  Company  at a
conversion  rate of $1.00 per share.  These  convertible  notes  were  issued in

promulgated thereunder.
