ITEM 4.           PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

                  The AutoInfo  Stockholders  Committee  was formed,  subject to
obtaining  regulatory  approvals,  to solicit written consents to take action in
lieu of a stockholders meeting, pursuant to Delaware General Corporation Law ss.
228 and/or proxies to execute such consents to (i) remove the incumbent  members
of the Issuer's board of directors; (ii) elect the slate of candidates set forth
herein to the  Issuer's  board of  directors;  and (iii) amend the Bylaws of the
Issuer to provide that any acquisition by the Issuer, whether by stock purchase,
merger,  asset  acquisition  or  other  similar  type  transaction,   where  the
consideration  to be paid by the Issuer is more than fifty (50%)  percent of the
Issuer's assets at the time of such transaction,  will be subject to approval by
a majority of the Issuer's stockholders. The



<PAGE>



AutoInfo  Stockholders  Committee is also  committed to using its best  efforts,
immediately upon its election, to rescind or nullify the Shareholder Rights Plan
adopted on March 30,  1995 by the  Issuer's  board of  directors.  The  AutoInfo
Stockholders  Committee's nominees for directors of the Issuer will be Warren G.
Lichtenstein,  Lawrence  Butler,  Jack L.  Howard,  Marshall D.  Butler,  Jan R.
Sussman and James Benenson, Jr.

                  The AutoInfo  Stockholders  Committee believes that the market
price of the Common  Stock does not reflect the  underlying  value of the Issuer
and believes  that based upon its  knowledge  of the Issuer,  it could cause the
Issuer to take such actions and pursue such  opportunities,  including,  but not
limited to, seeking potential acquisition candidates for the Issuer, in order to
maximize  value  for  the  Issuer's  stockholders.   The  AutoInfo  Stockholders
Committee  could,  however,  in the  future,  based  upon an  evaluation  of the
Issuer's  operations  and future  plans,  as well as its own  financial  status,
decide to pursue  another  course of action  including,  but not limited to, the
paying of a special dividend,  the total or partial liquidation of the Issuer or
the sale of the Issuer's non-cash assets.

                  The Issuer  filed suit on June 14,  1995 in the United  States
District  Court  for  the  District  of  Delaware   against  Steel,   Warren  G.
Lichtenstein,  Lawrence  Butler,  Jack L.  Howard,  Marshall D.  Butler,  Ryback
Management Corporation,  Eric E. Ryback and Lawrence Callahan,  Civil Action No.
95-364. The complaint alleges, among other things, violations of Sections 13(d),
13(g) and 14(a) of the  Securities  Exchange  Act of 1934,  as amended,  and the
rules and regulations  promulgated  thereunder,  stemming from Steel's allegedly
acting in concert with the other  defendants  to obtain  control of the board of
directors  of the Issuer and the  failure of Steel and the other  defendants  to
disclose  such  actions in  compliance  with  applicable  securities  laws.  The
complaint  seeks,  among  other  things,  to enjoin  the  AutoInfo  Stockholders
Committee from  commencing the Consent  Solicitation  and delivering the Consent
Statement to the Issuer's  stockholders.  The  AutoInfo  Stockholders  Committee
believes it has  complied  with the  securities  laws and intends to  vigorously
defend itself against the claims brought by the Issuer.

                  The AutoInfo Stockholders Committee had previously anticipated
commencing a Consent solicitation on May 1, 1995 and in connection therewith had
(i)  delivered  a signed  Consent  to the  Company  on April  13,  1995 and (ii)
demanded a list of the Company's stockholders from the Company. Under ss. 228 of
DGCL,  Consents must be delivered  within 60 days of the earliest  dated Consent
delivered to the Issuer.  Due to delays in obtaining the stockholders  list, the
AutoInfo Stockholders  Committee decided not to solicit Consents pursuant to the
prior Consent solicitation and to commence a new Consent solicitation. By letter
dated May 31, 1995, the AutoInfo Stockholders  Committee advised the Issuer that
the prior Consent was withdrawn. The


<PAGE>


AutoInfo Stockholders Committee had engaged in discussions with the Issuer in an
attempt to avoid the  necessity of this Consent  solicitation.  In the course of
these discussions,  four meetings were held between approximately April 12, 1995
and April 28,  1995.  The  following  parties were present at all or some of the
meetings: on behalf of the AutoInfo Stockholders Committee--Warren Lichtenstein,
Marshall D. Butler and Lawrence Butler, on behalf of the  Company--Scott  Zecher
and Andrew Gaspar.  During the course of the  discussions,  the issues discussed
included  the  terms of a  standstill  agreement  for  members  of the  AutoInfo
Stockholders  Committee,  the size of the Board,  including Board representation
for the AutoInfo Stockholders  Committee,  and the powers of minority directors,
the  redemption of the poison pill,  the aggregate  amount of Issuer funds to be
spent on acquisitions and other such transactions without requiring  stockholder
and/or supermajority board approval, and a right of first refusal by the Company
on the Common Stock  beneficially  held by members of the AutoInfo  Stockholders
Committee. To date, those discussions have not been successful and no agreements
or understandings of any kind have been reached.

                  The  AutoInfo  Stockholders  Committee  has filed  preliminary
consent  materials  with  the  Commission,  and  upon  final  approval  from the
Commission  intends to file a  definitive  Consent  Statement  and  commence its
solicitation of written consents from Stockholders of the Company. In connection
with such  solicitation,  a record date of May 31, 1995 was  established  by the
Issuer.

                  Except as stated herein, the AutoInfo  Stockholders  Committee
does not presently  have any other  proposals or plans which would result in any
event listed in items (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule  13D. In the future,
however,  based upon an evaluation of the Issuer's  operations and future plans,
as well as its own financial  status,  it may decide to pursue another course of
action. The members of the AutoInfo  Stockholders  Committee may hold or dispose
of the Shares or may purchase  additional shares of Common Stock at such time as
each of them may determine.


ITEM 5.           INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

                  (a)  As  reported  in  the  Company's  Revocation  of  Consent
Statement  By Board of  Directors  in  Opposition  to the  Parties  who Refer to
Themselves  as the AutoInfo  Stockholders  Committee,  dated May 15,  1995,  the
Issuer had 7,732,252  shares of Common Stock  outstanding on April 28, 1995. The
AutoInfo  Stockholders  Committee  beneficially  own an  aggregate  of 1,131,400
Shares, representing 14.6% of the shares outstanding, of which 1,126,000


<PAGE>



Shares are beneficially owned by Steel,  5,300(2) are beneficially owned by Jack
L. Howard and 1,126,100 are  beneficially  owned by Warren G.  Lichtenstein,  of
which 1,126,000 are beneficially  owned by Steel. All of such Shares acquired by
Steel,  Jack L. Howard and Warren G.  Lichtenstein  were acquired in open-market
transactions.  Each of Steel and Jack L. Howard has sole voting and  dispositive
power  with  respect to the Shares  beneficially  owned by it or him.  Warren G.
Lichtenstein  has sole  voting and  dispositive  power  with  respect to the 100
Shares  beneficially  owned directly by him. Each of Warren G.  Lichtenstein and
Lawrence  Butler has shared  voting and  dispositive  power with  respect to the
1,126,000  Shares  beneficially  owned by him through Steel's  ownership of such
shares.

                  (b) Set forth below is a schedule identifying all transactions
in the shares effected by the persons  identified in response to Item 5(a) above
since 60 days prior to February  17,  1995,  the date of filing of the  Schedule
13D.

                  Steel has engaged in no  transactions  in the Issuer's  common
