                     NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)


Note 1 - General
- ----------------

         The accompanying  unaudited  condensed  financial  statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial  information  and the  instructions  for Form  10-Q and Rule  10-01 of
Regulation  S-X.  Accordingly,  they do not include all of the  information  and
footnotes  required by generally  accepted  accounting  principles  for complete
financial statements.  In the opinion of management,  all adjustments consisting
of normal recurring accruals  considered  necessary for a fair presentation have
been  included.  Operating  results for the three and nine months ended February
28, 1995 and February  28, 1994 are not  necessarily  indicative  of the results
that may be expected for a full fiscal year. For further  information,  refer to
the financial  statement and footnotes  thereto included in the Company's annual
report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 1994.

Note 2 - Marketable Securities
- ------------------------------

         Effective June 1, 1994, the Company, as required,  adopted Statement of
Financial   Accounting   Standards  (SFAS)  No.  115,  "Accounting  for  Certain
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities".  This pronouncement  establishes the
accounting and reporting for investments in equity  securities that have readily
determinable  fair  values  and for all  investments  in debt  securities.  This
statement  supersedes  Statement  No.  12  "Accounting  for  Certain  Marketable
Securities".

         In  connection  with the  adoption  of SFAS No.  115,  debt and  equity
securities used as part of the Company's investment  management that may be sold
in response to cash needs,  changes in interest  rates,  and other  factors have
been  classified as securities  available for sale. Such securities are reported
at cost which  approximates fair value and have maturities of less than one year
and  included  common  stock and bond funds  ($3,577,584  as of May 31, 1994 and
$3,509,739 as of February 28, 1995), money market instruments  ($1,786,107 as of
May 31,  1994 and  $1,524,738  as of  February  28,  1995) and  municipal  bonds
($1,700,000  as of May 31, 1994 and  $2,850,000 as of February 28, 1995).  As of
February  28,  1995  and May 31,  1994  unrealized  gains  and  losses  were not
material.  Unrealized  gains and losses,  if  material,  would be excluded  from
earnings and reported as a separate  component of stockholders'  equity.  During
the three and nine month periods ended February 28, 1995 and 1994, there were no
gains or losses arising from the disposition of marketable securities. Gains and
losses  on   disposition   of   securities   are   recognized  on  the  specific
identification method in the period in which they occur.

Note 3 - Acquisition of Minority Interest
- -----------------------------------------

         In September  1994, the Company  acquired the minority  interest in its
insurance  inspection  services  business  pursuant to a formularized  valuation
which resulted in no additional  consideration being due. Accordingly,  there is
no provision  for minority  interest in net loss of  partnership  for any period
subsequent to August 31, 1994.

Note 4 - Subsequent Event
- -------------------------

         On April 1, 1995,  the Company  consummated  the sale of certain assets
net of  certain  liabilities  constituting  the  operating  assets  of the Orion
Network, Compass Network, Checkmate Computer Systems, and Insurance Parts
Locator businesses for $30,350,000 in cash.

         All such assets and liabilities have been classified as "Net Book Value
of Assets of  Discontinued  Operations"  in the Balance Sheet as of February 28,
1995, and the Balance Sheet as of May 31, 1994 has been accordingly restated.

         The  accompanying  Statement of Operations for the three and nine month
periods ending February 28, 1995 reflects the results of operations  classifying
the results  related to the  businesses  sold as  discontinued  operations.  The
Statement of  Operations  for the  corresponding  periods of the prior year have
been restated.

                               Financial Condition

                              Results of Operations
                              ---------------------

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

         The  Company's  working  capital was $21.5  million  and liquid  assets
amounted to $8.0  million as of February 28,  1995.  The Company has  sufficient
liquid  assets and expects to generate  funds through  operations  sufficient to
meet its short and long term capital requirements.

         The total  amount  of debt  outstanding  as of  February  28,  1995 was
$4,398,000, of which $398,000 is due in less than one year. This debt relates to
the $4 million of 7.55% subordinated notes issued by the Company in January 1994
and  to  acquisitions.   The  Company  has  adequate  resources  to  meet  these
obligations.

         Subsequent  to the close of the quarter  ended  February 28, 1995,  the
Company  received cash of  $30,350,000  in  connection  with the sale of certain
assets with a net book value of $13,175,161 as of February 28, 1995. (See Note 4
to the Condensed  Financial  Statements  (unaudited).)  The tax provision on the
estimated gain on the sale of such assets is approximately $8.4 million.

         Inflation and changing prices had no material impact on revenues or the
results of  operations  for the quarter  ended  February 28, 1995.  There are no
trends or commitments which may have an impact on the Company's liquidity.


Results of Operations
- ---------------------

         On April 1, 1995, the Company  consummated  the sale of certain assets,
net of  certain  liabilities,  constituting  the  operating  assets of the Orion
Network,  Compass  Network,  Checkmate  Computer  Systems,  and Insurance  Parts
Locator  businesses.  The Results of  Operations  of these  businesses  has been
classified  as  discontinued  operations.  The Company's  continuing  operations
consist  of  its  insurance  inspection  services  and  long  distance  services
businesses.  Except as otherwise noted, the following  discussion of the results
of operations is with respect to the Company's continuing operations.

Three Months Ended February 28, 1995 and 1994
- ---------------------------------------------

Revenues
- --------

         For the three month  periods  ended  February  28,  1995 and 1994,  the
Company's revenues were derived from the sale of insurance  inspection  services
(74% and 57% respectively) and the sale of long


                                        8


<PAGE>



distance telephone  services (26% and 43% respectively).  Total revenues for the
three months  ended  February  28, 1995 were  $1,081,203,  an increase of 35% or
$279,589  over total  revenues  of  $801,203  for the  corresponding  prior year
period.  Revenues  of  the  Company's  insurance  inspection  services  business
increased by $340,000 due to the acquisitions  consummated in the fourth quarter
of the prior  fiscal year.  This  increase was offset by a decline in revenue of
$60,000 in the Company's  telephone  reseller  division due primarily to reduced
network usage levels.

Operating Expenses
- ------------------

         System and support  costs for the three months ended  February 28, 1995
increased  by 114% to $441,068  from  $205,957  for the prior year  period.  The
increase  was  primarily  related to the  increase  in revenue of the  Company's
insurance inspection services business.

         Salaries  and  employee  benefit  expenses  for the three  months ended
February 28, 1995  increased by 33% to $531,459 from $398,800 for the prior year
period.  The  increase was  primarily  related to the increase in revenue of the
Company's insurance inspection services business.

         Selling and administrative expenses for the three months ended February
28, 1995 decreased by 1% to $331,390 from $333,338 for the prior year period.

         Depreciation  and  amortization  expense  for the  three  months  ended
February 28, 1995  increased by 77% to $105,271  from $59,521 for the prior year
period.  The increase was  primarily due to  depreciation  and  amortization  of
acquisition costs associated with the Company's  insurance  inspection  services
business.

Other (Income) Expenses
- -----------------------

         Interest  expense was $78,659,  an increase of $33,954 over $44,705 for
the prior year period. This was directly related to the $4,000,000  subordinated
notes  issued  by the  Company  in  January  1994 and  notes  payable  issued in
connection with an acquisition in January 1994.

         Interest  income was  $76,296,  an increase of $32,713 over $43,583 for
the prior year period.  This was directly  attributable to the investment of the
proceeds of the $4,000,000  subordinated  notes issued by the Company in January
1994.

         Minority  interest in net loss of  partnership  was $0 as compared with
$67,020 for the prior year period. The Company acquired the minority interest in
September 1994.

Loss from Continuing Operations
- -------------------------------

         Loss from continuing operations for the three months ended February 28,
1995 was $301,533  compared to $101,289 in the prior year period, an increase of
$200,244 or 198%. This increase is attributable to the reduction in the minority
interest  in the net loss  associated  with  the  Company's  insurance  services
business ($67,000), the increase in depreciation and amortization of acquisition
costs associated with the Company's  insurance  services business  ($46,000) and
the reduction in telephone reseller division revenues ($60,000).

Income from Discontinued Operations
- -----------------------------------

         Income from discontinued operations for the three months ended February
28, 1995 was  $837,994  compared  to $816,871 in the prior year,  an increase of
$21,123 or 3%.


Nine Months Ended February 28, 1995 and 1994
- --------------------------------------------

Revenues
- --------

         For the nine  month  periods  ended  February  28,  1995 and 1994,  the
Company's revenues were derived from the sale of insurance  inspection  services
(78% and 53% respectively) and the sale of long distance telephone services (22%
and 47%  respectively).  Total  revenues for the nine months ended  February 28,
1995 were  $3,722,234,  an increase of 24% or  $722,637  over total  revenues of
$2,999,597 for the  corresponding  prior year period.  Revenues of the Company's
insurance  inspection  services  business  increased  by  $1,348,000  due to the
acquisitions  consummated in the fourth  quarter of the prior fiscal year.  This
increase  was offset by a decline in revenue of  approximately  $578,000  in the
Company's telephone reseller division.

Operating Expenses
- ------------------

         System and support  costs for the nine months  ended  February 28, 1995
increased by 87% to  $1,508,664  from  $806,558  for the prior year period.  The
increase  was  primarily  related to the  increase  in revenue of the  Company's
insurance inspection services business.

         Salaries  and  employee  benefit  expenses  for the nine  months  ended
February 28, 1995 increased by 23% to $1,590,396  from  $1,291,171 for the prior
year  period.  The  increase  was  principally  attributable  to the increase in
revenue of the Company's insurance inspection services business.

         Selling and administrative  expenses for the nine months ended February
28, 1995 decreased by 23% to $970,378 from $1,188,805 for the prior year period.
These decreases were directly  attributable to reduced selling costs  associated
with the reduced revenues in the Company's telephone reseller division.


                                       10


<PAGE>



         Depreciation  and  amortization  expense  for  the  nine  months  ended
February 28, 1995  increased by 92% to $309,583 from $161,448 for the prior year
period.  This was due to  depreciation  and  amortization  of acquisition  costs
associated with the insurance inspection business services.

Other (Income) Expenses
- -----------------------

         Interest expense was $237,993, an increase of $186,263 over $51,730 for
the prior year period. This was directly related to the $4,000,000  subordinated
notes  issued  by the  Company  in  January  1994 and  notes  payable  issued in
connection with an acquisition in January 1994.

         Interest income was $229,053,  an increase of $147,502 over $81,551 for
the prior year period.  This was directly  attributable to the investment of the
proceeds of the $4,000,000  subordinated  notes issued by the Company in January
1994.

         Minority interest in net loss of partnership was $67,133, a decrease of
$79,512  over  $146,645  for the prior year  period.  This was the result of the
acquisition of the minority interest by the Company in September 1994.

Income
- ------

Loss from Continuing Operations
- -------------------------------

         Loss from continuing  operations for the nine months ended February 28,
1995 was $512,150  compared to $185,475 in the prior year period, an increase of
$326,675 or 176%.  This increase is  attributable to the impact of the reduction
in telephone reseller division revenues.

Income from Discontinued Operations
- -----------------------------------

         Income from discontinued  operations for the nine months ended February
28, 1995 was $2,256,674  compared to $2,499,264 in the prior year, a decrease of
$242,590 or 10%.  This  decrease was  primarily  related to lower margins on the
sale of computer systems  ($179,000) and the impact of the reduced revenues from
the sales of automotive supplies ($50,000).

Trends and Uncertainties
- ------------------------

         During  the nine month  period  ending  February  28,  1995,  increased
competition  had an  adverse  impact  on the sale of  computer  systems  and the
results of operations.

                           PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 2:  Changes in Securities
- -------  ---------------------

         On March 30,  1995,  the Board of  Directors  of  Autolnfo,  Inc.  (the
"Corporation")  declared a dividend  distribution  of one right (a "Right")  for
each  outstanding  share of Common Stock,  par value $.01 per share (the "Common
Shares"),  of the  Corporation.  The dividend is payable to the  stockholders of
record on April 10, 1995 (the "Record Date"),  and with respect to Common Shares
issued thereafter until the Distribution Date (as defined below) and, in certain
circumstances, with respect to Common Shares issued after the Distribution Date.
Except as set forth below, each Right, when it becomes exercisable, entitles the
registered  holder to purchase from the  Corporation one Common Share at a price
of $15.00 per one Common Share (the  "Purchase  Price"),  subject to adjustment.
The description and terms of the Rights are set forth in a Rights Agreement (the
"Rights  Agreement") between the Corporation and American Stock Transfer & Trust
Company, as Rights Agent (the "Rights Agent"), dated as of March 30, 1995.

         Initially, the Rights will be attached to all certificates representing
Common  Shares  then  outstanding,   and  no  separate  Right  Certificates  (as
hereinafter  defined)  will be  distributed.  The Rights will  separate from the
Common  Shares upon the earliest to occur of (i) a person or group of affiliated
or associated persons having acquired beneficial ownership of 15% or more of the
outstanding  Common Shares (except pursuant to a Permitted Offer, as hereinafter
defined);  or (ii) 10 days (or  such  later  date as the  Board  may  determine)
following the commencement of, or announcement of an intention to make, a tender
offer or exchange  offer the  consummation  of which would result in a person or
group  becoming an Acquiring  Person (as  hereinafter  defined) (the earliest of
such  dates  being  called the  "Distribution  Date").  A person or group  whose
acquisition of Common Shares causes a  Distribution  Date pursuant to clause (i)
above is an  "Acquiring  Person."  The date  that a person or group  becomes  an
Acquiring Person is the "Shares Acquisition Date."

         The Rights Agreement  provides that,  until the Distribution  Date, the
Rights  will be  transferred  with and only with the  Common  Shares.  Until the
Distribution Date (or earlier redemption or expiration of the Rights) new Common
Share certificates issued after the Record Date upon transfer or new issuance of
Common  Shares will  contain a notation  incorporating  the Rights  Agreement by
reference.  Until the Distribution Date (or earlier  redemption or expiration of
the Rights),  the surrender for transfer of any  certificates  for Common Shares
outstanding as of the Record Date,  even without such notation or a copy of this
Summary of Rights being attached  thereto,  will also constitute the transfer of
the Rights associated with the Common Shares represented by such certificate. As
soon as  practicable  following the  Distribution  Date,  separate  certificates
evidencing the Rights ("Right Certificates") will be mailed to holders of record
of the Common Shares as of the close of business on the  Distribution  Date (and
to each  initial  record  holder  of  certain  Common  Shares  issued  after the
Distribution Date), and such separate Right Certificates alone will evidence the
Rights.

         The Rights are not  exercisable  until the  Distribution  Date and will
expire at the close of business on March 30, 2005,  unless  earlier  redeemed by
the Corporation as described below.

         In the event  that any  person  becomes  an  Acquiring  Person  (except
pursuant  to a tender or  exchange  offer  which is for all  outstanding  Common
Shares at a price and on terms which a majority of the  disinterested  directors

(as  hereinafter  defined) and a majority of the entire Board  determines  to be
adequate and in the best  interests of the  Corporation,  its  stockholders  and
other relevant constituencies,  other than such Acquiring Person, its affiliates
and associates (a "Permitted  Offer")),  each holder of a Right will  thereafter
have the right (the  "Flip-In  Right") to receive  upon  exercise  the number of
Common  Shares  (or,  in  certain   circumstances,   other   securities  of  the
Corporation)  having a value  (immediately prior to such triggering event) equal
to two times the exercise  price of the Right.  Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,
following the occurrence of the event described  above,  all Rights that are, or
(under  certain   circumstances   specified  in  the  Rights   Agreement)  were,
beneficially owned by any Acquiring Person or any affiliate or associate thereof
will be null and void.

         If  the  Corporation  does  not  have  sufficient   treasury  stock  or
authorized and unissued  Common Shares fully to honor the Rights,  the rights of
holders to purchase Common Shares may be  proportionately  reduced and the Board
of Directors may, in its discretion  issue other equity or debt  securities upon
exercise of the Rights.  With the  approval of a majority of the  "disinterested
directors"  and a majority of the entire Board,  the Board may also issue Common
Shares in exchange for all of the exercisable Rights after the Distribution Date
at the rate of one Share for each Right.

         In the event that, at any time following the Shares  Acquisition  Date,
(i) the  Corporation  is  acquired  in a merger  or other  business  combination
transaction  in  which  the  holders  of all of the  outstanding  Common  Shares
immediately  prior to the consummation of the transaction are not the holders of
all of the surviving  corporation's  voting power,  or (ii) more than 50% of the
Corporation's  assets or earning  power is sold or  transferred,  in either case
with or to an Acquiring Person or any affiliate or associate or any other person
in which such  Acquiring  Person,  affiliate or associate has an interest or any
person acting on behalf of or in concert with such Acquiring  Person,  affiliate
or associate,  or, if in such  transaction  all holders of Common Shares are not
treated  alike,  any other person,  then each holder of a Right  (except  Rights
which  previously have been voided as set forth above) shall thereafter have the
right (the "Flip-Over  Right") to receive,  upon exercise,  common shares of the
acquiring  company  having a value equal to two times the exercise  price of the
Right.  The holder of a Right will continue to have the Flip-Over  Right whether
or not such holder exercises or surrenders the Flip-In Right.

         The Purchase  Price  payable,  and the number of Common Shares or other
securities issuable,  upon exercise of the Rights are subject to adjustment from
time to time to prevent  dilution (i) in the event of a stock  dividend on, or a
subdivision,  combination or  reclassification  of, the Common Shares, (ii) upon
the grant to holders  of the Common  Shares of  certain  rights or  warrants  to
subscribe for or purchase  Common Shares at a price,  or securities  convertible
into Common Shares with a conversion  price,  less than the then current  market
price of the  Common  Shares or (iii)  upon the  distribution  to holders of the
Common  Shares  of  evidences  of  indebtedness  or  assets  (excluding  regular
quarterly  cash  dividends) or of  subscription  rights or warrants  (other than
those referred to above).

         The  number of  outstanding  Rights  and the  number  of Common  Shares
issuable upon exercise of each Right are also subject to adjustment in the event
of a stock split of the Common  Shares or a stock  dividend on the Common Shares
payable in Common Shares or subdivisions,  consolidations or combinations of the
Common Shares occurring, in any such case, prior to the Distribution Date.

         With certain  exceptions,  no adjustment in the Purchase  Price will be
required until  cumulative  adjustments  require an adjustment of at least 1% in
such  Purchase  Price.  No  fractional  Common Shares will be issued and in lieu

                                     

                                       13

thereof,  an  adjustment  in cash will be made based on the market  price of the
Common Shares on the last trading day prior to the date of exercise.

         At any time prior to the  earlier to occur of (i) a person  becoming an
Acquiring  Person or (ii) the expiration of the Rights,  and under certain other
circumstances,  the Corporation may redeem the Rights in whole, but not in part,
at a price of $.01 per Right (the "Redemption  Price") which redemption shall be
effective upon the approval of a majority of the "disinterested directors" and a
majority  of  the  Board  of  Directors.  Additionally,   following  the  Shares
Acquisition  Date,  upon  the  approval  of a  majority  of  the  "disinterested
directors" and a majority of the Board of Directors,  the Corporation may redeem
the then outstanding  Rights in whole, but not in part, at the Redemption Price,
provided that such  redemption is in connection  with a merger or other business
combination  transaction or series of transactions  involving the Corporation in
which all  holders  of Common  Shares are  treated  alike but not  involving  an
Acquiring Person or its affiliates or associates.

         All of the  provisions  of the Rights  Agreement  may be amended by the
Board of Directors of the Corporation  prior to the Distribution  Date, upon the
approval of a majority of the  "disinterested  directors"  and a majority of the
Board of Directors.  After the  Distribution  Date, the provisions of the Rights
Agreement may be amended,  upon the approval of a majority of the "disinterested
directors"  and a  majority  of the  Board  of  Directors  in  order to cure any
ambiguity,  defect or  inconsistency,  to make  changes  which do not  adversely
affect the  interests  of  holders of Rights  (excluding  the  interests  of any
Acquiring Person),  or, subject to certain  limitations,  to shorten or lengthen
any time period under the Rights Agreement.

         Any  amendments of the Rights  Agreement  and/or any  redemption of the
Rights  permitted  pursuant to the terms of the Rights  Agreement  under certain
specified  circumstances  must  be  approved  by a  majority  of  "disinterested
directors".  The  term  "disinterested  director"  means  any  director  of  the
Corporation  who is  neither an officer or  employee  of the  Corporation  nor a
"significant stockholder" of the Corporation nor, any representative,  Associate
or  Affiliate  (as such  terms  are  defined  in the  Rights  Agreement)  of any
"significant  stockholder"  nor any  person  attempting  to  effect  a  business
combination  or  similar  transaction  nor  any  representative,   Associate  or
Affiliate  of any such  person.  The term"  significant  stockholder"  means any
stockholder who at any time on and/or  subsequent to the date of the adoption of
the Plan is the beneficial owner of 10% of the outstanding Common Shares.

         Until a Right is exercised,  the holder thereof,  as such, will have no
rights as a stockholder of the Corporation,  including,  without limitation, the
right to vote or to receive dividends. While the distribution of the Rights will
not be taxable to stockholders of the Corporation,  stockholders may,  depending
upon the  circumstances,  recognize  taxable  income  should the  Rights  become
exercisable or upon the occurrence of certain events thereafter.

         A copy of the Rights  Agreement has been filed with the  Securities and
Exchange  Commission as an Exhibit to (i) a  Registration  Statement on Form 8-A
dated March 31, 1995 and (ii) a Report on Form 8-K dated March 30,  1995. A copy
of the Rights Agreement is available free of charge from the  Corporation.  This
summary description of the Rights do not purport to be complete and is qualified
in its  entirety.  by  reference  to  the  Rights  Agreement,  which  is  hereby
incorporated by reference.
