the six months ended June 30, 1996 the Company's revenues from operations
increase by $1,128,059 (22.9%) to $6,050,986 from $4,922,927 for the six months
ended June 30, 1995.

         The gross profit percentage increased .5% to 18.1% for the three months
ended June 30, 1996 as compared to 17.6% for the same period of 1995. For the
six months ended June 30, 1996 the gross profit percentage decreased .3% to
18.7% from 18.4% for the same period of 1995. Fluctuations in gross profit is
attributable to the revenue derived from the sales mix of fleet repair, direct
appraisal and repair, and consumer oriented auto club programs.

         Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $66,367 (16.8%)
to $462,406 for the second quarter of 1996 from $396,039 during the same period
of 1995. For the first six months of 1996 selling, general and administrative
expenses increased $185,217 (24.3%) to $946,611 from $761,394 during the same
period of 1995. The increase in selling, general, and administrative expenses is
related to increased salary expenses due to contractual agreements, wage
increases and an increase in labor force necessary to prepare the Company to
manage its increased business activities.

         The Company believes that it has adequate liquidity to support its cost
of operations for the foreseeable future. In July, 1996, the Company received
approval from its bank for a one million dollar working capital line of capital.
The line provides for borrowings at an interest rate of one half of one percent
above the prime lending rate. The line is collateralized by substantially all of
the assets of the Company.
