              NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1:    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The consolidated  financial statements are unaudited and reflect all adjustments
(consisting only of normal recurring  adjustments)  which are, in the opinion of
management,  necessary for a fair  presentation  of the  financial  position and
operating results for the interim periods. The consolidated financial statements
should be read in  conjunction  with the financial  statements and notes thereto
contained  in the  Company's  Annual  Report  on  Form  10-KSB  filed  with  the
Securities  and Exchange  Commission  March 31,  1999,  which  includes  audited
financial statements for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997. The results
of operations  for the three months ended March 31, 1999,  may not be indicative
of the results of operations for the year ended December 31, 1999.

The  Company's   short-term   investments  as  of  December  31,  1998,  consist
principally of marketable  debt  securities  which  management has classified as
available for sale. The Company  invested in short-term  government,  government
guaranteed and investment grade  securities.  As of March 31, 1999 there were no
unrealized  gains or losses on the  Company's  investments  in  marketable  debt
securities as fair market value approximated amortized cost.

The Company's  diluted  earnings per share takes into account warrants issued in
the Company's IPO and other outstanding stock options.

The forward-looking statements included herein are based on current expectations
that involve a number of risks and uncertainties that might adversely affect the
Company's  operating  results in the future in a  material  way.  Such risks and
uncertainties  include,  but are not limited to; changes in interest rates,  the
effectiveness of the Company's marketing campaign,  the response of the mortgage
industry,  continued  market demand for the Company's  services,  the effects of
seasonality in the housing market,  competition,  contingencies  associated with

Overview

The Company provides a broad range of credit,  employment and other  information
services to mortgage lenders, consumer lenders, employers,  landlords, and other
businesses.  The Company  specializes in preparing  mortgage credit reports that
are customized to meet each lender's individual needs.

The Company  provides  its services  through two  different  methods.  The first
involves  services sold directly by the Company to third party customers such as
mortgage lenders, financial institutions,  private enterprises,  and individuals
(referred  to as  "information  services").  Secondly,  the  Company  sells  its
services through  franchisees and licensees ("System  Affiliates").  The Company
markets its services nationally through 45 combined locations, including Company
operated  offices,  franchisees  and licensees.  The System  Affiliates  provide
information  services  to  customers  using  the  Company's  technology  and pay
royalty, license and other fees to the Company.

       In  the  first  quarter  1999  the  Company  acquired  one  Factual  Data
franchise, and four competitors with combined trailing 12 month revenues of $4.7
million.  In addition to the  acquisitions  the Company  completed a $15 million
private equity offering to a small group of institutional investors. U.S.Bancorp
Piper  Jaffray  Inc.  served as the  financial  advisor  to the  Company  on the
transaction. As part of the transaction a nominee of the purchasers was added to
the Company's Board of Directors.

Comparison of three months ended March 31, 1999 and March 31, 1998

Company  information  services  revenue  increased  $3.82 million,  or 673% from
$568,196 in the first  quarter 1998 to $4.39  million in the first quarter 1999.
The  increase  was  primarily  a result  of the  Company's  acquisitions.  Three
acquisitions were closed on January 1, 1999,  contributing $512,000 to the first
quarter 1999. Two additional acquisitions were closed on March 31,1999 with $-0-
contributed to the first quarter of 1999.  Same location sales growth  increased
by $180,575,  or 32%, from the first quarter 1998 to the first quarter 1999. The
Company  continues to see growth in its Freddie Mac Loan  Prospector  (R) system
with a $77,000  increase,  or 89%,  from  $85,830 in the first  quarter  1998 to
$162,392 in the first quarter 1999.

Ancillary  income   represents  fees  paid  by  system  affiliates  for  various
additional products and services provided to them. Ancillary income increased by
$48,394,  from $429,320 in 1998 to $477,714 in 1999. The increase is primarily a
result of the Company providing additional services to its system affiliates.

System affiliates revenues decreased $102,686 or 18%, from $586,555 in the first
quarter 1998 to $483,869 in the first quarter 1999.  This decrease is due to the
acquisition of six system affiliates as part of the consolidation plan.

Costs of services  increased  $2.75 million or 616%,  from $446,713 in the first
quarter 1998 to $3.2 million in the first quarter 1999.  The increase in cost of
services is directly related to the Company's  acquisitions which resulted in an
overall decrease in operating  margins from 72% in the first quarter 1998 to 40%
in the first quarter 1999. This decrease in operating margin is directly related
to the following three areas:

|X|  Salaries - As a result of  acquisitions  from the third quarter 1998 and in
     the first quarter 1999 the number of employees  whose costs are included in
     costs of services has increased by 200.  Employee costs  allocated to costs
     of services  include  operation  managers,  marketing  representatives  and
     processing  personnel.  As  acquisitions  are made,  the company  generally
     incurs a  duplication  of personnel  until the  acquisition  is  completely
     converted  to the  Company's  software  and  operating  system.  Due to the
     inefficiencies  of many acquired  companies'  processing  systems and their
     dependence on non-automated  mortgage credit reports, these increased labor
     and  other  operational  costs  tend to  negatively  impact  the  company's
     operating margin during the conversion process.

|X|  Bureau  costs  -  Due  to  volume  pricing  the  Company  purchases  credit
     information  at  a  more  favorable   price  than  the  small   independent
     competitors it is acquiring.  Converting an  acquisition  from its existing
     price structure, to the Companys takes approximately 30 to 60 days. Part of
     the  conversion  process  includes  installing  software  at  each  lenders
     location.  With most  small  independents  being on a  competitive  system,
     royalties must also be paid until the office is completely converted to the
     Factual Data system.

|X|  Telecommunication  Costs  - As  telecommunication  costs  are  also  volume
     driven,  the  Company  strives to  convert  the  telecommunication  of each
     acquisition to its selected carrier.  The conversion from one phone carrier
     to another can include  installing  new software at each client's  location
     and setting up an Internet provider.  The timeline for the phone conversion
     may take between 60 and 120 days.

Selling,  general and administrative  expenses increased $900,721, or 229%, from
$392,686 in the first  quarter 1998 to $1.29  million in the first quarter 1999.
This increase is related to costs  associated with the Company's growth in 1998,
and in the first quarter 1999.  As a percentage of sales,  selling,  general and
administrative costs decreased slightly from 24.8% for the first quarter 1998 to
24.2% for the first quarter 1999.

Total operating  costs  increased  $3.65 million,  or 435%, from $839,399 in the
first  quarter 1998 to $4.49  million in the first quarter 1999 with a resulting
increase in  operating  income of $114,136  or 15%,  from  $745,677 in the first
quarter 1998 to $859,813 in the first quarter 1999.

Interest expense  increased  $66,885,  or 352% from $18,969 in the first quarter
1998 to $85,854 in the first  quarter  1999.  This increase is due to additional
notes payable issued in connection with the Company's acquisitions.

Income taxes increased $52,554,  or 19%, from $272,669 in the first quarter 1998
to $325,223 in the first  quarter  1999.  The  Company's  effective  tax rate is
approximately 37%.

As a result of the foregoing factors, net income increased $44,258, or 10%, from
$464,275 in the first quarter 1998 to $508,533 in the first quarter 1999.

For the first quarter 1998 the Company had 1,800,000  diluted  weighted  average
shares  outstanding  as compared to 3,790,037  diluted  weighted  average shares
outstanding  for the  first  quarter  1999.  As a result  of  private  placement
completed in March and April 1999, there will be an additional  1,912,451 shares
outstanding for the second quarter 1999.

Diluted  earnings per share decreased by $0.13 per share, or 50%, from $0.26 per
share for the first  quarter of 1998 to $0.13 per share for the first quarter of
1999.  This decrease was  primarily  due to the issuance of 1,380,000  shares of
Company Common Stock in the Company's  initial  public  offering in May 1998 and
the related lag time in investing the use of the proceeds into operating  assets
(such  as  acquisitions).   As  discussed  above,  the  Company  incurs  certain
operational inefficiencies and duplication of certain costs for approximately 60
to 180 days  after  making  an  acquisition,  the  effect of which  will  reduce
earnings per share while the  acquisition is being  converted into the Company's
operational systems.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

The  Company  continues  to meet its  capital  requirements  through  cash flows
provided by operations, the sale of short-term investments and the proceeds from
the  private  placement  in March  1999.  The  total  cash and cash  equivalents
increased $9.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 1999.

For the  three  months  ended  March 31,  1999 net cash  provided  by  operating
activities was $107,704.  Net cash used in investing activities was $162,517 and
net cash  provided by financing  activities  was $9.5  million.  The purchase of
property and equipment accounted for $681,083 and cash used for acquisitions was
$1.7 million, which was funded by the sale of short-term investments.  Cash used
for the  repayment of long-term  debt  amounted to $480,981.  The  institutional
offering raised $15 million in gross proceeds of which $10 million was funded at
March 31, 1999 and the remaining $5 million on April 1, 1999.

Management  believes that its anticipated  cash  requirements  for the immediate
future will be met from  internally  generated  funds and the proceeds  from the
private placement with the institutional investors. The Company will continue to
invest the  proceeds  in  short-term  securities  with  maturities  being met to
continue the use of these proceeds for the consolidation plan.


Year 2000 Compliance

The Company utilizes a significant  number of computer systems across its entire
organization.  The  Company  therefore  must  assess  those  systems  Year  2000
compliance  and then  correct or replace  systems as  needed.  The  Company  has
completed  its  Year  2000  compliance  assessment  for  software  and  hardware
compliance.  This  assessment  concluded with a schedule for Year 2000 equipment
and software  updates as necessary,  and schedule for confirming  compliance via
testing.  The Company has  prioritized  the updating and testing of its systems.
Software for customer use has the highest priority, followed by internal systems
critical to operations. Modification of Company generated software for Year 2000
compliance  is complete,  and testing of compliance  was  completed  January 31,
1999.  Modification of current  hardware and low-level  system software for Year
2000  compliance is complete,  with  operating  system patches or upgrades being
applied as they become available. Updates of vendor supplied systems with either
Year 2000  compliant  patches or  upgrades  are in  progress.  All new  software
developed by the Company is 32-bit  Windows  software and is Year 2000 compliant
to the standards set forth by Microsoft Corporation's published guidelines.  All
of the  Company's  customers  will be  required  to upgrade  to 32-bit  Window's
software by December  31, 1999.  The Company is currently  testing for Year 2000
compliance with key information vendors and customers in an industry-wide effort
sponsored by Freddie Mac.


Costs for Year 2000 compliance  include  administration  of Year 2000 compliance
plan,  modifications to existing software,  updating of systems, a percentage of
new software development, and testing costs. Total Year 2000 costs are estimated
at $200,000, of which approximately $80,000 was incurred in 1998 and $14,000 was
incurred through March 31, 1999.  Although the Company is developing,  and will,
if necessary,  implement appropriate contingency plans to mitigate to the extent
possible the effects of any significant Year 2000 noncompliance,  such plans may
not be  adequate  and the  cost of  Year  2000  compliance  may be  higher  than
$200,000.

Vendors for  facilities  such as telephone and  electricity  have indicated that
they will be Year 2000 compliant by the end of June 1999.  The Company  believes
that it has completed all software updates  necessary to upgrade its information
source  vendors  to their  proprietary  Year  2000  versions.  This  project  is
material, but may be unnecessary for Year 2000 compliance as the Company already
interprets  the 2 digit year  representations  of these  vendors.  The Company's
results of operations  and  financial  condition  could be materially  adversely
affected by the failure of outside  vendors to achieve Year 2000 compliance in a
timely manner.

With the  exception  of  software  installed  at  customer  sites,  all  Company
generated software is available to Company staff for immediate  modification and
update,  should Year 2000 compliance  problems be discovered.  Current  customer
software has a capability for the customer to automatically update the software,
via normal  communications with the Company,  should any problems be found after
the  software is installed at the  customer  site. A worst case  scenario  would
involve a fallback to legacy  software  that has been  modified to use available
century  information  or wherever  necessary  to  interpret  the  century  using
windowing  technology.   The  Company's  results  of  operations  and  financial
condition could be materially adversely affected by the failure of both original
and contingency plans to achieve Year 2000 compliance in a timely manner.

The Company's  development of new 32-bit,  Year 2000 compliant  Windows software
for systems  that are now running DOS or 16-bit  Windows  software is  currently
scheduled for  completion  during the fourth  quarter  1999.  The use of the new
Company  generated  Windows  software is considered a  contingency  plan for the
failure of the existing DOS or 16-bit  Windows  software  running with Year 2000
modifications that interpret the century.  Those  modifications are currently in
place,  and were tested for Y2K  compliance as of January 31, 1999.  Contingency
plans for vendor  supplied  systems  are still  being  developed,  and should be
complete by end of first quarter 1999.

All of the  Company's  systems  used  in the  servicing  of  customer  requests,
customer billing,  accounting, and payroll have all been upgraded or replaced to
meet Year 2000 requirements, and have completed internal compliance testing. All
newly purchased  systems are being implemented  meeting Year 2000  requirements.
Most of the employee  desktop  machines have been either upgraded or replaced to
meet Year 2000  requirements,  and the remaining  employee desktop machines that
have not already been upgraded or replaced are  scheduled to be either  upgraded
or replaced by July of 1999.

Internal compliance testing has been completed successfully,  and the Company is
now  participating  in external  testing with  clients and  vendors,  both on an
individual  basis and as part of the MBA Year 2000  Readiness  test, in order to
ensure client and vendor readiness for the Year 2000. Testing will continue into
June of 1999.

 II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

AT&T Corp.  filed an action against the Company seeking damages for services and
disconnect fees.  Management contested the case, and has obtained a satisfactory
settlement.  The Company accrued for what it believed to be accurate  charges as
period costs during the time incurred and therefore settlement of the action has
no effect on the operations or financial condition of the Company.


Item 2.    Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds

In the  first  quarter  of  1999,  the  Company  used  substantially  all of the
remaining portion of the proceeds from its initial public offering (Registration
Statement No. 333-47051), about $2.2 million, in connection with its acquisition
program.  Near the end of the quarter, the Company completed a private placement
of  1,854,714  shares of its common stock to a small group of  institutions  and
raised $15 million gross,  about $13.5 million net, to be used in its continuing
acquisition program. The placement was made to four institutional investors, all
accredited  investors  within the  definition  set forth in Rule 501(a)  adopted
under the  Securities  Act of 1933 in reliance  on Section  4(2) of that Act and
Rule 506 adopted  thereunder.  U.S. Bancorp,  Piper Jaffray acted as the selling
agent in the placement.
