              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                      NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000
                                  (Unaudited)


1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The information contained in the condensed consolidated financial
statements for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2000 and
1999 is unaudited, but includes all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring
adjustments, which the Company considers necessary for a fair presentation of
the financial position and the results of operations for these periods.

         The financial statements and notes are presented in accordance with the
requirements of Form 10-QSB, and do not contain certain information included in
the Company's annual statements and notes. These financial statements should be
read in conjunction with the Company's annual financial statements as reported
in its most recent annual report on Form 10-KSB.

         Certain prior period balances have been reclassified to conform to the
current period classification.

         For the nine month period ending September 30, 2000, there were no
significant non-owner sources of income or expense. Accordingly, a separate
statement of comprehensive income has not been presented herein.

2.  BUSINESS OF THE COMPANY AND NAME CHANGE

         The Company, a New York corporation formed on June 28, 1985, is engaged
in the administration and provision of vehicle maintenance and repair
management, including collision and general repair programs, appraisal services,
subrogation services, vehicle salvage and vehicle rentals; and the
administration of automotive collision repair referral services for self insured
fleets, insurance companies and affinity group members. The Company announced
that, effective November 2, 2000, it had changed its name to driversshield.com
Corp., and that its stock trading symbol on the Nasdaq Small-Cap Market would
become DRVR.

    The Company's office is located at 51 East Bethpage Road, Plainview, New
York 11803 and its telephone number is (516) 694-1010.

3.  RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

    The unaudited results of operations for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected
for the full year.


                                       7

4.  EARNINGS PER SHARE

    Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing earnings by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted
earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if common
stock equivalents, such as stock options and warrants, were exercised. During
the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1999 there was no dilutive
effect from stock options and warrants.

5.  OUTSTANDING DISPUTES

    The Company has advised a third-party provider, which it had engaged for
specified tasks associated with the development and enhancement of its software,
that it was disputing selected charges totaling $228,000. Of such amounts,
$156,000 had previously been paid, and capitalized, and is currently included in
the accompanying financial information. The remaining $72,000 payment has been
withheld, and has not been recorded in the accompanying financial statements.

    In an unrelated matter, the Company has not recorded the value of certain
warrants provided to an investment relations firm because it is seeking to
nullify that contract for lack of performance. The Company is seeking to recoup
$45,000, which it has already paid and expensed in its financial records, and to
void warrants, including those vested, which had been granted to acquire shares
of its common stock.

Item 2.      Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of  Operation

Forward Looking Statements - Cautionary Factors

         The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction
with the Company's Financial Statements and the notes hereto appearing elsewhere
in this report. This report contains forward-looking statements within the
meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Act of 1995. The company cautions
that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and
involve certain risks and uncertainties (including those identified in "Risk
Factors" in the company's Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31,1999) and
that actual results may differ materially from those in the forward-looking
statements as a result of various factors. Except for the historical information
and statements contained in this Report, the matters and items set forth in this
Report are forward looking statements.

Results of Operations

         In accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting
Bulletin No. 101 (SAB 101), the Company has determined that the portion of its
business representing commission revenues from its subrogation and salvage
services should be presented in the financial statements on a net basis. It had
been the Company's prior policy to report such revenues and related costs on a
gross basis. Accordingly, the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999
have been reclassified to reflect the net presentation. There was no effect on
net loss or net cash flows used in operating activities from the
reclassification. Revenues and direct costs for the three and nine months ended
September 30,1999 were reduced by $715,000 and $2,063,000, respectively.

Three Months ended September 30,2000 (the "2000 Quarter") Compared to Three
Months ended September 30, 1999 (the "1999 Quarter").

Operating Income and Expenses

    Consolidated net income increased by $316,000 to $101,000 in the 2000

$408,000. In addition to revenue growth, the gross profit percentage also
increased from 25% in the 1999 Quarter to 28% in the 2000 Quarter. This was due

(9%), to $1,000,000 in the 2000 Quarter, from $915,000 in the 1999 Quarter. The
increase in operating expenses is mainly attributable to the additional

or 6%, to $2,911,000 as compared to $2,736,000 for the same period of 1999.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

                  As of September 30, 2000, the Company had cash and cash
equivalents of $509,000. The Company also holds 79,450 shares of Salomon Smith
Barney Adjustable Rate Government Income Fund securities valued at $777,000 at
September 30, 2000. Working capital of the Company as of September 30, 2000, was
$1,805,000. The Company's operating activities generated $53,000 of cash for the
nine months ended September 30, 2000 as compared to 1999, when the Company's
operating activities used $173,000 of cash. The reduced cash use for operations
is primarily a result of the increase in net income for 2000, as described
above. In the aggregate of all activities, cash decreased $34,000 for the nine
months ended September 30,2000.

         The Company believes that its present cash position will enable the
Company to continue to support its operations for the next twelve months.

         The Company announced on May 31, 2000 that it has secured up to $10
million in equity based funding commitments. This equity facility enables
driversshield.com Corp. to draw down funds at its discretion on a monthly basis
for a twelve month period following the effective date of a registration
statement, filed to register the shares issued pursuant to the Securities Act of
1933, in exchange for common stock of the Company. Pricing will be established
during the draw down periods according to the volume-weighted average trading
price of the Company's common stock. A registration statement for the securities
became effective on November 14, 2000. No funding has occurred to date under
this agreement.

Deferred Income Taxes

         The Company has an operating loss carryforward of approximately $4.7
million which is available to offset future taxable income. A valuation
allowance has been established for the full amount of the deferred tax benefit
and accordingly no deferred tax asset has been presented in the accompanying
financial statements. To the extent the Company is profitable in future periods,
such carryforwards may be utilized to offset taxable earnings. However, to the
extent the Company is not profitable it would not be able to realize this
benefit.
