          Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are
          translated into Dutch guilders at the rates of exchange prevailing at
          yearend. The exchange results are recorded in the statement of income.

     (b)  Intangible fixed assets
          -----------------------

          The database is valued against acquisition cost including capitalized
          costs in connection with the development of the database. The database
          is depreciated on a straight-line basis over a period of 3 years.

     (c)  Tangible fixed assets
          ---------------------

          Tangible fixed assets are stated at the acquisition cost, less
          straight-line depreciation. The depreciation is calculated on the
          basis of acquisition cost less residual value and the estimated useful
          life of the related asset.

     (d)  Financial fixed assets
          ----------------------

          Investments in subsidiaries and associated companies are stated at net
          asset value. The net asset value is determined on the basis of the
          accounting principles applied by the company. Negative equity is
          provided for.

     (e)  Inventory
          ---------

          Trade goods are stated at the lower of purchase price or net
          realizable value.

     (f)  Accounts receivable
          -------------------

          Accounts receivable are stated at face value, less an allowance for
          possible uncollectable accounts.

     (g)  Other assets and liabilities
          ----------------------------

          Other assets and liabilities are valued at face value .

     (h)  Recognition of income
          ---------------------

          Net sales are determined on the basis of the value (excluding taxes)
          of services rendered, less discounts, rebates and similar charges
          granted to customers.

     (i)  Depreciation
          ------------

          The depreciation of intangible fixed assets and tangible fixed assets
          is calculated as 33% respectively 20% of the acquisition cost.
<PAGE>

     (j) Taxes on ordinary and extraordinary result
         ------------------------------------------

         These are calculated on the taxable result on the basis of the tax rate
         prevailing at yearend. In the annual report, the taxes on income is not
         recorded (reference is made to note 16.).

To the shareholders and management of Stockdata Amsterdam B.V.,


Introduction

We have audited the financial statements of Stockdata Amsterdam B.V., Amsterdam,
for the year 1998. 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 audit.

Scope

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in The Netherlands. 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the financial statements give a true and fair view of the
financial position of the company as at December 31, 1998 and of the result for
the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in The Netherlands and comply with the financial reporting requirements included
in Part 9, Book 2 of The Netherlands Civil Code.

                                  (Unaudited)

     To reflect FirstQuote's acquisition of StockData

     The following tables present summary historical information for FirstQuote
Inc. and StockData Amsterdam B.V. derived from their financial statements.  The
acquisition of StockData has been accounted for using the purchase method of
accounting and, accordingly, the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed
have been recorded at their fair values as of the date of the acquisition, which
do not differ significantly from historical costs.  The excess of the purchase
price over the fair value of the assets and liabilities assumed have been
recorded as goodwill.

     The unaudited pro forma consolidated Statements of Operations for the year
ended December 31, 1998 and for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 present
the results for FirstQuote and StockData as if the acquisition had occurred on
January 1, 1998.
