              REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS


To the Board of Directors
Item Processing of America, Inc.
Miami, Florida


We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Item Processing of America,
Inc. as of December 31, 1997 and the related statements of income, stockholders'
equity and cash flows for each of the two years in the period then ended.  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 generally accepted auditing
standards.  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 Item Processing of America,
Inc. at December 31, 1997, and the results of its operations and its cash flows
for each of the two years in the period then ended in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

  1.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT      Business
       ACCOUNTING POLICIES         --------

                                   The Company provides data processing and other services primarily to
                                   financial institutions in South Florida.
 
                                   Estimates
                                   ---------
 
                                   The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
                                   accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions
                                   that affect the reported amount of 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 periods.
                                   Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
                                   Property and Equipment
                                   ----------------------
 
                                   Property and equipment is carried at cost.  Depreciation and amortization are
                                   computed on the straight-line method over the three to five year estimated
                                   useful lives of the assets.
 
                                   Revenue Recognition
                                   -------------------
 
                                   Revenues are recognized as the services are rendered.
 
                                   Interim Financial Statements
                                   ----------------------------
 
                                   The financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and
                                   1997 are unaudited.  In the opinion of management, such financial statements
                                   include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals)
                                   necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of
                                   operations.  The results of operations for the nine months ended September
                                   30, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the
                                   full year.

   5.  INCOME TAXES                For each of the periods presented in the accompanying financial statements,
                                   the Company utilized available net operating loss carryforwards to eliminate
                                   taxable income.  As of September 30, 1998, the Company has net operating loss
                                   carryforwards of approximately $44,000 for income tax purposes expiring
                                   through 2009.
 
                                   Realization of any portion of approximate $17,000 deferred tax asset at
                                   September 30, 1998, resulting from the available net operating loss
                                   carryforward, is not considered more likely than not and, accordingly, a
                                   valuation allowance has been recorded for the full amount of such asset.
 
                                   Future utilization of the net operating loss carryforward may be limited
                                   due to changes in control of the Company.
