                     INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT




To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Heritage Credit Reporting, Inc.
Palatine, Illinois


We have audited the  accompanying  balance sheet of Heritage  Credit  Reporting,
Inc. as of December 31, 1997, and the related statements of operations,  changes
in  stockholders'  equity  and cash  flows for each of the years in the two year
period  ended   December  31,  1997.   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 combined 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 Heritage Credit Reporting, Inc.
as of December 31, 1997 and the results of their operations and their cash flows
for  each of the  years in the two year  period  ended  December  31,  1997,  in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                     NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

ORGANIZATION

Heritage  Credit  Reporting,  Inc. was  incorporated in the state of Illinois in
1985.  The Company was  established  for the  purpose of  providing  information
services,  nationally,  to  financial  lending  institutions  primarily  in  the
mortgage lending industry.

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

In the normal  course of  business,  the  Company  extends  unsecured  credit to
virtually all of its customers related to providing  information  services.  The
Company's customers are located primarily in the Chicago area.

Because of the credit risks  involved,  management has provided an allowance for
doubtful  accounts of $5,000 and $35,000 at December  31, 1997 and June 30, 1998
(unaudited),  respectively,  which  reflects  its opinion of amounts  which will
eventually become uncollectible.  In the event of complete nonperformance by the
Company's  customers,  the maximum  exposure  to the Company is the  outstanding
accounts receivable balance at the date of non-performance.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Property and equipment are stated at cost.  Depreciation  is computed  using the
accelerated method based on the estimated useful lives of the assets which range
from three to fifteen years.

INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Intangible  assets  are  stated at cost and  consist of  goodwill.  Goodwill  is
amortized using accelerated methods over forty years.

ADVERTISING COSTS

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred.

INCOME TAXES

The Company has elected to be taxed under  Subchapter S of the Internal  Revenue
Code.  Under these  provisions,  the Company is not subject to income taxes as a
separate entity. Income or loss of the Company is required to be included in the
income tax returns of the stockholders.

                     NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


 NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES(CONTINUED)

INCOME TAXES (CONTINUED)

Included in the  statement of  operations  are pro forma income tax  adjustments
computed using the statutory  rates in effect,  which  represent the federal and
state tax provisions that would have been required had the Company been taxed as
a C-corporation.  The Company's  effective statutory rate based on pretax income
was 34% for both the years ended  December  31, 1997 and 1996 and the  unaudited
six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997.

VALUATION OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

The Company assesses valuation of long-lived assets in accordance with Statement
of Financial  Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment
of Long-Lived  Assets and for  Long-Lived  Assets to be disposed of. The Company
periodically  evaluates the carrying  value of long-lived  assets to be held and
used,   including  goodwill  and  other  intangible  assets,   when  events  and
circumstances warrant such a review. The carrying value of a long-lived asset is
considered impaired when the anticipated  undiscounted cash flow from such asset
is separately identifiable and is less than its carrying value. In that event, a
loss is recognized  based on the amount by which the carrying  value exceeds the
fair market  value of the  long-lived  asset.  Fair market  value is  determined
primarily using the  anticipated  cash flows  discounted at a rate  commensurate
with the risk involved.

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 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.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The carrying amounts of financial  instruments  including cash, designated cash,
receivables, prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate
their fair values as of December 31, 1997 and June 30, 1998 (unaudited)  because
of the relatively short maturity of these instruments.

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES(CONTINUED)

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)

The carrying  amounts of notes  payable and debt  outstanding  also  approximate
their fair  values as of  December  31,  1997  because  interest  rates on these
instruments  approximate  the interest rate on debt with similar terms available
to the Company.

BASIC EARNINGS (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE

The Company  computes  earnings (loss) per share in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard No. 128. The Company has presented only basic loss
per share as the Company has no dilutive potential common shares. Basic earnings
(loss)  per share has been  computed  based on the  weighted  average  number of
shares outstanding.


NOTE 2 - PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Property and equipment consist of the following:

advanced to Heritage  to be used for working  capital as needed.  The balance of

                     INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT




To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
American Credit Connection, Inc.
Rolling Meadows, Illinois

We have audited the  accompanying  balance sheet of American Credit  Connection,
Inc. as of December 31, 1997, and the related statements of operations,  changes
in  stockholders'  equity  and cash  flows for each of the years in the two year
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 American Credit  Connection,
Inc. as of December 31, 1997 and the results of their  operations and their cash
flows for each of the years in the two year period ended  December 31, 1997,  in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

ORGANIZATION

American Credit Connection, Inc. (ACC) was incorporated in the state of Illinois
in 1991. The Company was  established  for the purpose of providing  information
services to financial  lending  institutions  primarily in the mortgage  lending
industry  and  employment   screening   services  under  the  licensed  name  of
EMPFacts(TM) from Factual Data Corp., in the Northern Illinois area.

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

In the normal  course of  business,  the  Company  extends  unsecured  credit to
virtually all of its customers for information services. The Company's customers
are located primarily in the Northern Illinois area.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Property and equipment are stated at cost.  Depreciation  is computed  using the
straight-line  method  based on the  estimated  useful lives of the assets which
range from five to seven years.

ADVERTISING COSTS

All advertising costs are expensed as incurred.

INCOME TAXES

Deferred income taxes result from temporary  differences.  Temporary differences
are  differences  between  the tax basis of  assets  and  liabilities  and their
reported  amounts in the  financial  statements  that will  result in taxable or
deductible amounts in future years.

The Company's  temporary  differences  consist of  depreciation  on property and
equipment, accrual to cash adjustments and net operating loss carryforwards.  At
December 31, 1997, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards available to
offset future taxable income of approximately $36,000 which expire through 2012.

BASIC EARNINGS (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE

The company computes  earnings (loss) per share in accordance with Statements of
Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 128. The Company has  presented  only basic
earnings (loss) per share as the Company has no potential  dilutive  securities.
Basic  easy loss per  share  has been  computed  based on the  weighted  average
numbers of shares outstanding.

                                      F - 6

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

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 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.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The carrying amounts of financial  instruments including  receivables,  accounts
payable, accrued expenses, and advances from shareholders approximate their fair
values as of December 31, 1997 and June 30, 1998,  respectively,  because of the
relatively short maturity of these instruments.


NOTE 2 - PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Property and equipment consist of the following:

                                               ==========       =========


NOTE 3 - LINE-OF-CREDIT

The Company maintains a $100,000  line-of-credit  from a bank which provides for
interest at 1% over prime,  payable  monthly with  principal due on demand.  The
line-of-credit  is personally  guaranteed by the stockholders of the Company and
had an outstanding balance at December 31, 1997 and June 30, 1998 (unaudited) of
$40,000 and $30,000, respectively.

                                                 F - 7

NOTE 4 - ADVANCES FROM STOCKHOLDERS

The advances  from  stockholders  represent  the  stockholders'  personal  funds
advanced  to ACC to be used for  working  capital as needed.  The balance of the
advances was $7,500 at December 31, 1997,  with the full balance being repaid in
1998.

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Factual Data Northwest, Inc.
Seattle, Washington

We have audited the accompanying  balance sheet of Factual Data Northwest,  Inc.
as of December 31, 1997, and the related  statements of  operations,  changes in

statements   are  the   responsibility   of  the   Company's   management.   Our
responsibility  is to express an opinion on these financial  statements based on
our audit.

We conducted our audit 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 audit provides 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 Factual Data Northwest, Inc. as

the  year  then  ended,  in  conformity  with  generally   accepted   accounting

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

ORGANIZATION

Factual Data  Northwest,  Inc.  (the Company) was  incorporated  in the state of
Washington  in 1990.  The Company was  established  for the purpose of providing
information services to financial lending institutions primarily in the mortgage
lending industry in the Seattle area under the Factual Data trade name through a
license agreement.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

For the purpose of the  statement of cash flows,  the Company  considers  highly
liquid  short-term  instruments  purchased  with an  original  maturity of three
months or less to be cash equivalents.

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

In the normal  course of  business,  the  Company  extends  unsecured  credit to
virtually all of its customers for information services. The Company's customers
are located in the Northwestern United States.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Property and equipment are stated at cost.  Depreciation  is computed  using the
straight line method based on the estimated  useful lives of the assets which is
currently five years for all of the Company's fixed assets.

ADVERTISING COSTS

All advertising costs are expensed as incurred.

INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Intangible assets are stated at cost and consist of franchise fees. The fees are
amortized using the straight line method over ten to fifteen years.

INCOME TAXES

The Company has elected to be taxed under  Subchapter S of the Internal  Revenue
Code.  Under these  provisions,  the Company is not subject to income taxes as a
separate entity. Income or loss of the Company is required to be included in the
income tax returns of the shareholders.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

INCOME TAXES (CONTINUED)

Included in the  statement of  operations  are pro forma income tax  adjustments
computed using the statutory  rates in effect,  which  represent the federal and
state tax provisions that would have been required had the Company been taxed as
a C-corporation.  The Company's  effective statutory rate based on pretax income
was 34% for both the years ended  December  31, 1997 and 1996 and the  unaudited
six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997.

BASIC EARNINGS (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE

The Company  computes  earnings (loss) per share in accordance with Statement of
Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 128. The Company has  presented  only basic
earnings  (loss)  per share as the  Company  has no  dilutive  potential  common
shares.  Basic earnings (loss) per share has been computed based on the weighted
average number of shares outstanding.

VALUATION OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

The Company assesses valuation of long-lived assets in accordance with Statement
of Financial  Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment
of Long-Lived  Assets and for  Long-Lived  Assets to be disposed of. The Company
periodically  evaluates the carrying  value of long-lived  assets to be held and
used,   including  goodwill  and  other  intangible  assets,   when  events  and
circumstances warrant such a review. The carrying value of a long-lived asset is
considered impaired when the anticipated  undiscounted cash flow from such asset
is separately identifiable and is less than its carrying value. In that event, a
loss is recognized  based on the amount by which the carrying  value exceeds the
fair market  value of the  long-lived  asset.  Fair market  value is  determined
primarily using the  anticipated  cash flows  discounted at a rate  commensurate
with the risk involved.

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 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.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The  carrying  amounts  of  financial   instruments   including  cash  and  cash
equivalents,  receivables, accounts payable, accrued expenses, royalty interests
and advances from stockholders  approximate their fair values as of December 31,
1997 and June 30, 1998  (unaudited)  because of the relatively short maturity of
these instruments.

NOTE 5 - ROYALTY INTERESTS

Royalty interests reflect funds advanced by individuals,  including shareholders
of the Company which were used by the Company for working capital purposes. Such
royalty  interests in total accrue royalties in perpetuity at 2.5% of gross cash
collections on a quarterly  basis,  which are then pro rated to each  individual
holder's  percentage  interest of the total. The royalty interests are also paid
5% of gross  cash  collections  on a  quarterly  basis  also  pro  rated to each
individual  holder's  percentage  interest  of the  total,  until the  investors
original  investment is repaid.  The total 7.5% payments  required on gross cash
collections are payable one month following the quarter to which they relate. In
the event that all or  substantially  all of the assets of the Company are sold,
the royalty interest holders are entitled to 2 1/2% of cash collections over the
preceeding  twelve  months  multiplied  by a factor of five and prorated to each
individual investors share of the total percentage.


NOTE 6 - COMMITMENTS

The Company has a lease for its office  space.  The lease  expires June 30, 1999
