     Overall  operating  expenses have  increased by $794,918 and $2,371,817 for
the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2000 respectively, compared
to the same periods ended  September 30, 1999.  This increase  resulted from the
Company's  commitment to internal expansion of its regional  operations.  In the
three  months  ended  September  30,  2000,  operating  expenses  decreased as a
percentage  of revenue to 107.6% from 107.7% in the  comparable  period in 1999.
Operating  expenses  increased as a percentage of revenue to 106.3% in the first
nine  months of 2000 from 101.2% in the same period of 1999.  The  increases  in
operating costs as a percent of revenue for the nine-month  period was primarily
the result of costs associated with the Company's  California  operations.  This
approach to internal  growth  utilizes  the same  formula  that was  employed in
growing the Arizona market.  Pretax profits, as a percentage of revenue, for the
Company's  more mature  operations  in Arizona  were 8.5% for the quarter  ended
September 30, 2000.

     Personnel costs, including commissions,  are the most significant component
of the Company's operating  expenses.  Personnel costs,  including  commissions,
decreased  as a  percentage  of  revenue  to 64.6%  in the  three  months  ended
September 30, 2000 from 65.5% in the comparable period in 1999.  Personnel costs
including commissions increased as a percentage of revenue to 65.1% in the first
nine months of 2000 from 63.6% in the same period of 1999.  The increase for the
nine-month  period  was the  result  of  higher  personnel  costs in  California
relative to revenue.

     Title  remittance  fees  relate  to the  amounts  paid  pursuant  to  title
insurance  underwriting  agreements  the  Company  has with six  national  title
companies.  Title remittance fees increased  slightly as a percent of revenue to
approximately  6.5% from  approximately 6.0% for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2000 as compared to the same periods in 1999. This increase is due
primarily to title  premiums  comprising a larger  component of total revenue in
the periods ended September 30, 2000 than in the comparable periods of 1999.

     Rent  expense  increased  as a percent of revenue to 7.5% from 6.5% for the
three months ended  September 30, 2000 and to 7.2% from 5.5% for the nine months
ended  September 30, 2000 as compared to the same periods in 1999. This increase
was the result of additional office space being leased and increased rent costs.

     The significant  components of other operating  expenses include  supplies,
utilities, insurance, depreciation, title plant maintenance and access, postage,
and  professional  fees. Other operating  expenses  decreased as a percentage of
total  revenue to 28.1% in the three months ended  September 30, 2000 from 28.5%
in the  comparable  period in 1999.  Other  operating  expenses  increased  as a
percentage  of revenue  to 26.7% in the first nine  months of 2000 from 25.4% in
the same period of 1999. The increase for the  nine-month  period was the result
of costs  associated  with  opening  new offices  during the nine  months  ended
September 30, 2000,  coupled with the  relatively  fixed nature of many of these
costs relative to the level of revenue in the California operations.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     At September 30, 2000, the Company had current assets  totaling  $1,634,312
compared to current  liabilities which totaled  $2,731,796.  Management believes
that  cash on  hand,  future  cash  receipts  and its  credit  facility  will be
sufficient to pay all obligations as they become due.

     The Company has a $1,500,000 revolving line of credit, which bears interest
on any  outstanding  balance at the prime rate. At September 30, 2000,  $700,000
had been drawn against this credit facility,  in addition to $150,000,  which is
committed for a standby letter of credit  required  pursuant to an office lease.
This credit facility matures in May 2001. The Company received a waiver from the
bank,  with  respect  to  certain  financial  covenants  related to this line of
credit,  for the quarter ended  September  30, 2000.  In addition,  the bank has
agreed to modify certain financial covenants for future periods.
