              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 30, 2000,  which  includes
audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998. The
results  of  operations  for the six  months  ended  June 30,  2000,  may not be
indicative of the results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2000.

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

Note 2: Line-of-Credit

The Company refinanced its line-of-credit during the second quarter of 2000. The
facility is now a $6,000,000  line-of-credit with interest payable at prime plus
25 basis points,  or libor plus 275 basis points.  Principal and unpaid interest
is due April 2001.  The  line-of-credit  requires  the  Company to meet  certain
financial covenants and is collateralized by substantially all the assets of the
Company.

The  Company  issued  1,317  shares of stock to  employees  valued at $12,182 in
connection  with the Company's  Employee  Stock  Purchase Plan during the second

Note 4:  Long-term Debt and Obligations

The  Company  refinanced  seller  notes from  acquisitions  and a portion of the
previous  line-of-credit  with a $4 million term loan through  Wells Fargo bank.
The term loan is a 5-year  amortization  with  interest  at prime  plus 25 basis
points, or libor plus 275 basis points. A fixed swap agreement was negotiated in
which the all-in-one interest rate is now locked at 10.10%.

On April 29, 2000 the Company  entered into a 10-year  lease  agreement,  with a
5-year payback period, as the Experian affiliate for the state of Colorado.  The
agreement has been recorded as long-term debt on the balance sheet.

</TABLE>

Comparison of three months ended June 30, 2000 and June 30, 1999

         Revenue for the second  quarter  2000  increased  15% to $8.03  million
compared with $7.0 million reported for the second quarter of 1999.  Information
services  revenue  increased  $1.24  million,  or 21%, from $6.03 million in the
second  quarter 1999 to $7.27 million in the second  quarter 2000.  The increase
was  primarily  a  result  of  our  acquisitions.   We  completed   twenty-eight
acquisitions  through  the  second  quarter  2000 of which  twenty-one  of these
acquisitions had been completed through the second quarter 1999. We continued to
diversify  in  the   business-to-business   information  services  sector,  with
employment  screening  and resident  qualifier  services.  Diversification  into
non-first  mortgage lending with new e-commerce clients such as MILA and Genesis
2000, and new business affiliations like Experian,  all contributed to increased
revenues in the second quarter 2000.

         Ancillary income  represents fees paid by System Affiliates for various
additional products and services provided to them. Ancillary income decreased by
$90,000,  or 17%,  from  $529,000 in the second  quarter 1999 to $439,000 in the
second  quarter 2000.  This decrease was due to the  acquisition  of nine system
affiliates as part of our consolidation plan.

         System Affiliates revenues decreased $124,000, or 28%, from $440,000 in
the second quarter 1999 to $316,000 in the second quarter 2000. The decrease was
due to our  acquisition  of nine  System  Affiliates.  The  reduction  in System
Affiliates  revenues  was expected to continue as we acquire  additional  System
Affiliates  and since we have  discontinued  further  franchising  and licensing
programs.

         Costs of services increased $503,000,  or 11%, from $4.1 million in the
second quarter 1999 to $4.6 million in the second quarter 2000. The increases in
direct  operational  costs are related to our  increased  revenues.  The cost of
services,  as a percentage of revenue,  was relatively unchanged from the second
quarter of 1999 at 58.3%  compared  to the second  quarter of 2000 at 57.0%.  As
variable  costs,  these cost of services are directly  related to bureau  costs,
salaries, and telecommunication costs.

         Selling,  general and administrative  expenses increased  $824,000,  or
62%, from $1.3 million in the second  quarter 1999 to $2.1 million in the second
quarter  2000.  As  previously  stated  in the  first  quarter  10-QSB,  we have
continued to expand our corporate  infrastructure.  Our  corporate  facility now
includes a second  building of  approximately  16,000 square feet to accommodate
our new national sales staff as well as additional corporate  management.  Along
with the new corporate  facility we opened a second technology center located in
Denver,  Colorado.  The expenses  related to these new facilities and additional
staffing did not exist in the second quarter of 1999.  Further items that relate
to the increase include  additional  professional  fees due to new SEC reporting
requirements, as well as the hiring of an investor relations firm.

         Consolidation  costs  for the  second  quarter  2000 were  $36,000,  as
compared to $350,000 for the second quarter 1999.  These costs include  one-time
consolidation charges for items such as recruiting fees, salaries for terminated
owners  and  managers  of  acquired   businesses,   and  travel  costs  for  the
consolidation and relocation of our regional processing centers.

         Depreciation and Amortization expense increased $333,000,  or 51%, from
$647,000 in the second quarter 1999 to $980,000 in the second quarter 2000. This
increase  reflects the  amortization  expense of our  twenty-eight  acquisitions
through the second quarter 2000 compared to twenty-one of these  acquisitions we
had made through the second  quarter  1999. As we continue the  amortization  of
intangible assets, we will continue to incur these non-cash expenses.

         Interest  expense  increased  $236,000,  or 172%,  from $137,000 in the
second quarter 1999 to $373,000 in the second quarter 2000. This increase is due
to additional notes payable issued in connection with our new  acquisitions,  as
well as the newly restructured debt facility.

         Income taxes  decreased  $233,000,  or 84%, from $277,000 in the second
quarter 1999 to $44,000 in the second  quarter 2000.  Our effective tax rate for
the  second  quarter  1999  was 40% and 60% for the  second  quarter  2000.  The
increase in tax rate is due to the permanent  rather than timing  differences of
non-deductible items relating to a December 1998 acquisition.

         As a result of the  foregoing,  net income for the second  quarter 2000
was $29,000,  or $0.01 per diluted share,  based on 5,679,479 shares compared to
$423,000,  or $0.07 per diluted share,  based on 5,813,198 shares for the second
quarter   1999.   This  earning  per  share   calculation   takes  into  account
consolidation costs of $36,000 or $0.01 per diluted share for the second quarter
2000.

         Our second  quarter  2000  EBITDA  (earnings  before  interest,  taxes,
depreciation  and  amortization)  was $1.43 million,  or $0.25 per diluted share
based on 5,679,479  shares,  as compared to $1.49 million,  or $0.26 per diluted
share  based on  5,813,198  shares in the  second  quarter  1999.  In the second
quarter 2000, this EBITDA per share calculation takes into account consolidation
costs of  $36,000,  or $0.01 per  diluted  share,  as a result of  acquisitions,
through the second quarter 2000. Excluding the consolidation costs we would have
reported  EBITDA  for the second  quarter  2000 of $1.46  million,  or $0.26 per
diluted share. As the depreciation and amortization costs continue to negatively
impact net income, EBITDA continues to be the most informative gauge for Factual
Data as a signal of the company's cash generation.

         EDITDA  is  defined  as  earnings   before   interest,   income  taxes,
depreciation and amortization. EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative
to net income (as an indicator of operating performance) or as an alternative to
cash flow (as a measure of liquidity or ability to service debt obligations) and
is not in  accordance  with,  nor superior  to,  generally  accepted  accounting
principles,  but provides  additional  information  for evaluating  Factual Data

Comparison of six months ended June 30, 2000 and June 30, 1999

         Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2000  increased  28% to $15.8
million  from $12.3  million  reported  for the six months  ended June 30, 1999.
Information  services revenue increased $3.9 million,  or 38% from $10.4 million
for the six months ended June 30, 1999 to $14.3 million for the six months ended
June  30,  2000.  For the six  months  ended  June  30,  2000  revenue  from our
employment  screening  and  tenant  qualifier  services  increased  49% to $1.44
million from  $964,000 for the six months  ended June 30,  1999.  This  increase
includes  same store  sales  growth and  revenue  from an  employment  screening
acquisition.

         Ancillary income  represents fees paid by System Affiliates for various
additional products and services provided to them. Ancillary income decreased by
$72,000,  or 7%,  from $1.0  million  for the six months  ended June 30, 1999 to
$935,000 for the six months ended June 30,  2000.  This  decrease was due to the
acquisition of nine system affiliates as part of our consolidation plan.

         System Affiliates revenues decreased by $295,000, or 32%, from $924,000
for the six months ended June 30, 1999 to $629,000 for the six months ended June
30, 2000. This decrease was due to the acquisition of nine System  Affiliates as
part of our consolidation plan.

         Costs of services  increased  $1.89  million or 27%, from $7.05 million
for the six months ended June 30, 1999 to $8.94 million for the six months ended
June 30,  2000.  Although  the  Costs of  services  in  terms  of  dollars  have
increased, as a percentage of sales these direct costs have slightly decreased.

         Selling,  general and administrative  expenses increased $1.80 million,
or 87%,  from  $2.07  million  for the six months  ended June 30,  1999 to $3.87
million  for the six  months  ended June 30,  2000.  As a  percentage  of sales,
selling,  general  and  administrative  costs  increased  from 16.8% for the six
months ended June 30, 1999 to 24.5% for the six months  ended June 30, 2000.  As
previously stated we have continued to expand our corporate infrastructure.  Our
corporate facility now includes a second building of approximately 16,000 square
feet to accommodate our new national sales staff as well as additional corporate
management.  Along with the new corporate facility we opened a second technology
center located in Denver, Colorado. The expenses related to these new facilities
and additional  staffing did not exist in the first six months of 1999.  Further
items that relate to the increase include  additional  professional  fees due to
new SEC reporting  requirements,  as well as the hiring of an investor relations
firm

         Depreciation and Amortization  expense increased $810,000,  or 75% from
$1.08  million for the six months  ended June 30, 1999 to $1.89  million for the
six months ended June 30, 2000. This increase reflects the amortization  expense
of our  twenty-eight  acquisitions  through the second  quarter 2000 compared to
twenty-one of these acquisitions we had made through the second quarter 1999. As
we continue the amortization of intangible  assets created by the  acquisitions,
it will continue to incur these non-cash but tax-deductible expenses.

         Interest expense increased $362,000,  or 162% from $223,000 for the six
months  ended June 30, 1999 to $585,000  for the six months ended June 30, 2000.
The increase is due to additional  notes payable  issued in connection  with our
new acquisitions, as well as the newly restructured debt facility.

         Income taxes  decreased  $442,000,  or 73%,  from  $603,000 for the six
months  ended June 30, 1999 to $161,000  for the six months ended June 30, 2000.
Our  effective tax rate is  approximately  39% for the six months ended June 30,
1999  compared  to 45% for the six months  ended June 30,  2000.  As  previously
stated in the three-month comparison,  the increase in the effective tax rate is
directly related to the non-deductible, permanent rather than timing differences
from a December 1998 acquisition.

         As a result of the foregoing,  net income decreased  $733,000,  or 79%,
from  $932,000  for the six months  ended June 30, 1999 to $199,000  for the six
months ended June 30, 2000.

         For the six  months  ended  June  30,  2000  we had  5,589,319  diluted
weighted  average shares  outstanding as compared to 4,790,637  diluted weighted
average shares outstanding for the six months ended June 30, 1999.

         Diluted  earnings per share  decreased by $0.15 per share, or 79%, from
$0.19 per share for the six months  ended  June 30,  1999 to $0.04 per share for
the six months ended June 30, 2000.  This  earnings per share  comparison  takes
into  effect a 17%  increase  in  weighted  average  number  of  diluted  shares
outstanding,  from 4,790,637 for the six months ended June 30, 1999 to 5,589,319
for the six months ended June 30, 2000.

         Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA)
for the six months ended June 30, 2000,  were $2.84 million as compared to $2.84
million  for the six  months  ended  June  30,  1999.  Diluted  earnings  before
interest,  taxes,  depreciation and amortization  (EBITDA) per share for the six
months ended June 30,  2000,  were $0.51 as compared to $0.59 for the six months
ended June 30,  1999.  Again this per share  comparison  takes into effect a 17%
increase in weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding.

Corp.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         We had cash and cash  equivalents  of  $1,091,000  at June 30, 2000. We
were able to manage the net impact of accounts receivable, accounts payable, and
accrued  expenses  on cash  flows  from  operations,  which  with net  income of
$199,000 and depreciation  and amortization of $1,891,000  resulted in cash flow
provided  from  operations  of  $1,869,000.  As the  Company  begins  to see its
infrastructure  substantially being complete,  we are focusing on improving cash
flows from operations to fund current maturities of long-term debt.

         We used cash and cash  equivalents  of $626,000 to purchase  additional
equipment  and  furniture  to build the  infrastructure  for our  corporate  and
regional  centers.  We also used cash to  liquidate  $5.03  million of principal
payments on long-term debt. Net cash used for the continuing  acquisition  costs
were  $315,000,  and net  activity on the line of credit was  $331,000.  We also
received  cash  proceeds of $4.0 million for the  restructuring  of debt,  which
resulted in a gain of $189,000.

         Management  believes that our  anticipated  cash  requirements  for the
immediate future will be met from internally generated funds as well as the $6.0
million  line-of-credit  through  Wells  Fargo  (See  Note 2).  The  Company  is
continuing  to pursue  acquisitions  and looking at  favorable  alternatives  to
finance these acquisitions.
