                         INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT


The Board of Directors
FirstAmerica Automotive, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of DSW &
Associates, Inc. d/b/a Auto Town as of December 31, 1998 and 1997 and the
related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' deficit and cash
flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the
responsibility of FirstAmerica Automotive, Inc. management. Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these consolidated 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of DSW & Associates,
Inc. as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the results of their operations and
their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

(1)  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

     Organization and Business

     DSW & Associates, Inc., d/b/a Auto Town, is a privately held California
     corporation that provides application software products and Web page design
     services to automobile dealerships throughout the United States. Auto Town
     application software products include Clock Tower Manager, InventoryTrak,
     CustomerTrak and Trip It.

     Auto Town was incorporated in California in July 1995.  Auto Town's
     principal executive office is located at 1120 Capitol Expressway Auto Mall,
     San Jose, California, 95136.  Except as noted herein, all references to
     "Auto Town" or the "Company" shall mean DSW & Associates, Inc.

     As discussed in note 13, on December 31, 1998, FirstAmerica Automotive,
     Inc. ("FAA") acquired Auto Town.

     Basis of Presentation

     The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of DSW &
     Associates, Inc. and it's wholly owned subsidiary, DealerSoft Technologies,
     Inc.  All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been
     eliminated.

     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 amounts in the financial statements and
     accompanying notes.   Actual results could differ from those estimates.

     Revenue Recognition

     Revenues earned under software license agreements with automobile
     dealerships are generally recognized when the license agreement has been
     signed and the software has been installed. Revenue from post-contract
     customer support is recognized ratably over the period the customer support
     services are provided, and software services revenue is recognized as
     services are performed. Royalty revenue is recognized when the conditions
     of the royalty agreement are met.

     Property and Equipment

     Property and equipment are stated at cost.  Depreciation is provided over
     the estimated useful lives of the respective assets, generally three to
     five years, on a straight-line basis.

                                      F-7

     Income Taxes
 
     Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method.
     Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax
     consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement
     carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective
     tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax
     assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to
     apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences
     are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets
     and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the
     period that includes the enactment date.

     Prior to December 1, 1997, the Company was an S Corporation for federal and
     state income tax reporting purposes. Federal income taxes on the income of
     an S Corporation are payable by the individual shareholders rather than the
     corporation. The State of California taxes the income of S Corporations at
     the rate of 1.5%. The Company terminated its S Corporation status effective
     November 30, 1997 and deferred tax assets and liabilities were immaterial
     prior to the termination.

     Stock-Based Compensation

     As permitted under the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123
     ("SFAS 123"), "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," Auto Town has
     elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 ("APB 25"),
     "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" in accounting for stock-based
     awards and compensation to employees.  See note 10.

     Capitalized Software Costs
  
     In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86
     ("SFAS 86"), "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold,
     Leased or Otherwise Marketed," development costs are expensed as incurred
     until establishment of technological feasibility, after which additional
     direct costs are capitalized. The Company establishes technological
     feasibility upon completion of a working model.

     Advertising Expenses

     Auto Town accounts for advertising costs as expense in the period in which
     they are incurred.  Advertising expenses for 1998 and 1997 were $8,787 and
     $321,053, respectively.

(2)  Accounts Receivable

     Accounts receivable consists of license fees due from automobile
     dealerships and software services revenue, and is net of allowances for
     doubtful accounts as follows:

(5)  Acquisitions

     On December 9, 1998, Auto Town acquired the proprietary software
     "LeaseTrak" and "Trip It" along with certain other assets from The RAMAC
     Corporation ("RAMAC"), a software company.  The acquisition was accounted
     for using the purchase method of accounting.  The purchase price of
     $166,752 consisted of $98,704 in cash, 938,220 shares of Series B Preferred
     Stock (see note 10) and 767,634 shares of Common Stock, both issued at a
     fair market value estimated at $0.04 per share.  The purchase price was
     allocated to the fair market value of the assets acquired as follows:

                                  ========
</TABLE>

     On November 21, 1997, Auto Town purchased all of the outstanding shares of
     DealerSoft Technologies, Inc. for $20,004 in cash and 5,000 shares of Auto
     Town's Common Stock issued at a fair market value of $0.006 per share plus
     royalty payments to the seller equal to 1.5% of Auto Town's sales of the
     CustomerTrak. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method
     of accounting. DealerSoft's sole asset was the CustomerTrak software
     license and the purchase price of $20,034 was allocated to software.

(6)  Deferred Revenue

     Deferred revenue consists of the following:

     Deferred royalty revenue represents cash received under a development
     contract, license agreement and future royalty contract executed in July,
     1998 with an automobile insurance information services company to develop
     an automobile database software application. The agreement provides for the
     information services company to fund the development process, up to a
     maximum of $500,000. The funding advances are non-refundable, and Auto Town
     received and deferred $275,000 during 1998. Auto Town is entitled to a
     royalty fee of 20% of the revenues earned by the automobile insurance
     information services company related to the use of Auto Town's software
     product. The royalty fees due to Auto Town are first offset against the 
     non-refundable funding advances.

     Deferred service revenue represents Standard Dealer Master Agreements with
     automobile dealerships that constitute the bulk of Auto Town's revenues and
     require Auto Town to provide maintenance and support.  License fees are
     renewed annually and expire through 1999.

(7)  Advances from FAA

     In June 1998, Auto Town's shareholders executed an agreement with FAA
     relating to a 60 day evaluation of Auto Town products as part of a possible
     acquisition of Auto Town by FAA.

     In September 1998, Auto Town executed another agreement with FAA whereby
     FAA agreed to advance funds to Auto Town for operations. The agreements
     further provided that in the event that the purchase of Auto Town by FAA
     not be completed, FAA would be entitled to site licenses to use Auto Town
     technology and intellectual property.

     As of December 31, 1998, $1,080,003 in funds had been advanced by FAA to
     Auto Town.  On December 31, 1998, FAA acquired Auto Town.  See note 13.

(8)  Subordinated Secured Convertible Notes Payable

     On December 31, 1997 Auto Town agreed to sell up to $1,750,000 in
     Subordinated Secured Convertible Notes Payable ("Notes") to certain
     investors. The Notes bore interest at 10%, matured on December 30, 1998 and
     principal and interest were payable on that date. The Notes were secured by
     all of Auto Town's intellectual property. As of December 31, 1998,
     $1,085,000 in Notes were outstanding, plus $34,703 in accrued interest, as
     follows:

(10) Shareholders' Equity
 
     Due to Auto Town's continued operating losses and inability to secure
     financing for current operations, for approximately three months in early
     1998 certain Auto Town employees were offered the option to receive shares
     of Common Stock in lieu of their salaries. As part of this agreement,
     2,998,797 shares of Common Stock valued at $114,043 were issued. In
     December 1998, 204,022 shares of Auto Town Common Stock valued at $30,603
     were also issued to an employee as compensation.

     In August 1997, an Auto Town officer and shareholder converted $50,000 of
     notes payable to additional paid-in capital.

     Class A Common Stock

     Auto Town has authorized Common Stock of 30,000,000 shares with a par value
     of $0.001 per share. Common Stock shareholders have voting rights equal to
     Preferred Stock Series B shareholders on an as-converted basis.

     Preferred Stock - Series B

     Auto Town has 1,000,000 shares of authorized Series B Preferred Stock
     ("SBPS") with par value of $0.001 per share. In connection with the
     acquisition of certain assets from RAMAC in December, 1998, Auto Town
     issued 938,220 shares of SBPS to RAMAC (see note 5). The SBPS converted to
     938,220 shares of Auto Town Common Stock on December 31, 1998 when Auto
     Town was acquired by FAA (see note 13) which was then converted to
     shares of FAA Common Stock on the acquisition date.

     Stock Option Plan

     During 1997, the Company had reserved 1,500,000 shares of Common Stock for
     issuance under its 1997 Stock Option Plan (the "Plan").   Options are
     granted to employees, consultants, contractors or other service
     providers already owning more than 10% of the voting power of all classes
     of stock at 110% of the fair market value on the date of grant.
     Consultants, contractors or other service providers owning less than 10% of
     the voting power of all classes of stock could be granted nonstatutory
     stock options to purchase Common Stock at exercise prices no less than 85%
     of the fair market value per share on the date of the grant.

     Generally, options granted were exercisable to the extent of 20% on the
     anniversary date of each grant and expired 5 years from the grant date.

     is as follows:

      The Company applies APB Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations in
      accounting for the Plan. Accordingly, no compensation cost has been
      recognized. Had compensation cost been determined consistent with
      Financial Accounting Standards Board's SFAS No. 123, the Company's net
      loss would not have been materially affected. The fair value of each
      option grant under SFAS No. 123 is estimated on the date of grant using
      the minimum-value method assuming no dividend yield, a risk-free interest
      rate of 4.75% and a weighted average life of one year.

(11)  Income Taxes

      Prior to December 1, 1997, Auto Town was an S corporation for federal and
      state income tax reporting purposes. Federal and state income taxes on the
      income of an S corporation are payable by the individual stockholders
      rather than the corporation. California state income taxes for S
      corporations are 1.5% of pretax income. Auto Town terminated its S
      corporation status effective November 30, 1997. Deferred tax assets and
      liabilities were immaterial prior to the change in tax status. The
      following provision for income taxes reflects the deferred tax assets and
      liabilities for the one month period ended December 31, 1997 and year
      ended December 31, 1998, the periods for which Auto Town was a C
      Corporation. Management does not believe that it is more likely than not
      that the deferred tax asset will be realized due to uncertainties arising
      from Auto Town's ability to become profitable. Accordingly, a valuation
      allowance equal to the net asset amount has been established.

      The provision for income taxes consist of the following:

      Proforma Income Taxes

      Prior to December 1, 1997, Auto Town was an S Corporation. For the year
      ended December 31, 1997, the pro forma provision for income taxes is equal
      to the actual provision for income taxes due to operating losses for the
      year.

(12)  Related Party Transactions

      Since inception, Auto Town's president and chief executive officer has
      funded portions of Auto Town's working capital requirements by securing
      personal loans which were not guaranteed by Auto Town. Amounts due the
      officer totaled $307,516 and $335,173 at December 31, 1998 and 1997,
      respectively. The loans to Auto Town were unsecured and bore interest at
      15% to 20%, the same rate that was due by the officer to the third
      parties.

      Auto Town rents its main corporate facility and another location under a
      month to month lease from an Auto Town director during 1998 and 1997 for
      $25,000 and $23,400, respectively. Rental expense is included in general
      and administrative expense in the financial statements.

(13)  Subsequent Events

      On December 31, 1998, Auto Town was acquired by FAA.  No adjustments
      related to the acquisition are reflected in the accompanying historical
      financial statements.

           NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL DATA

(a)  FAA completed the acquisition of Auto Town on December 31, 1998. The
     purchase price of approximately $3.0 million was allocated to net assets
     acquired based on their relative fair values, which resulted in an
     allocation to software and intellectual property of $2.9 million (see note
     c below). The purchase price consisted of 335,015 FAA Class A Common Stock
     valued at approximately $0.8 million as well as FAA's assumption of
     approximately $2.2 million of liabilities in excess of assets. The paid-in
     capital adjustment of $615,000 reflects the $777,000 issuance of Class A
     Common Stock at $2.32 per share issued by FAA, net of the elimination of
     $162,000 in Auto Town paid-in capital.

(b)  Reflects the elimination of $442,500 owed FAA by Auto Town as of September
     30, 1998, which is also eliminated from FAA prepaid expenses and other
     assets.

(c)  The adjustment to capitalized software totalling $2.9 million includes the
     fair market value of FAA Class A Common stock of approximately $0.8 million
     and liabilities assumed in excess of assets (including the reclassification
     of RAMAC software acquired of $98,000, see note f below) of $2.2 million.

(d)  Reflects additional liabilities assumed by Auto Town of $638,000 between
     September 30, 1998 and December 31, 1998, which were included in the
     purchase price.

(e)  Simultaneous with the acquisition, Auto Town Series B Convertible Preferred
     Note Holders received shares of FAA Class A Common Stock in exchange for
     all outstanding convertible notes payable of approximately $1,176,000
     including interest.

(f)  As of September 30, 1998, Auto Town had paid RAMAC approximately $98,000 in
     contemplation of the acquisition of certain RAMAC assets. The acquisition
     was completed in December, 1998. This adjustment reflects the
     reclassification of the payment to capitalized software.

(g)  Amortization of acquired software and intellectual property of
     approximately $2.9 million using a five year estimated useful life is
     approximately $435,000 and $580,000 for the nine month period ended
     September 30, 1998 and year ended December 31, 1997, respectively. 

(h)  Incremental interest expense reduction is based on FAA's interest rate on
     relevant debt facilities used to finance the acquisition, compared to an
     average Auto Town interest rate on debt of approximately 15%, which
     totalled $70,000 and $93,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1998
     and year ended December 31, 1997, respectively.

(i)  This adjustment reflects the decrease in the combined income tax provision
     as if Auto Town had been taxable at the FAA combined effective income tax
     rate of approximately 43% in 1998 for the nine months ended September 30,
     1998.

(j)  This adjustment reflects the decrease in the combined income tax provision
     to a combined effective income tax benefit rate of 40% for the year ended
     December 31, 1997.

(k)  Pro forma basic and diluted net income per share and the related weighted
     average shares outstanding for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and
     year ended December 31, 1997 have been adjusted to reflect the effect of
     the issuance of 335,015 shares of Class A Common Stock in connection with
     the acquisition of DSW & Associates, Inc. For purposes of calculating basic
     earnings per share for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and the
     year ended December 31, 1997, pro forma net income of $2.6 million and the
     pro forma net loss of $0.7 million, respectively, is reduced by cumulative
     redeemable preference dividends of $210,000 and $128,000, redeemable
     preferred stock liquidation preference accretion of $50,000 and $40,000,
     and cumulative redeemable preferred stock and redeemable preferred stock
     discount amortization of $60,000 and $45,000, respectively. This net income
     available to common stockholders of $2.2 million and $(0.9) million is then
     divided by the weighted average shares outstanding. The diluted earnings
     per share for the year ended December 31, 1997 does not include dilutive
     securities, such as options and warrants, as their inclusion would be anti-
     dilutive.
