                 NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               JUNE 30, 1995
                                (Unaudited)

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
  The accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial
statements included herein have been prepared by Corfacts, Inc.
(the "Company"), without audit, in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles for interim financial information
and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission.  Certain information and footnote
disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have
been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations,
although the Company believes that the disclosures made
areadequate to make the information presented not misleading.

  In the opinion of management, the information furnished for the
six month period ended June 30,1995 and 1994 includes all
adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring accruals
necessary for a fair presentation of the financial results for
the respective interim periods and is not necessarily indicative
of the results of operations to be expected for the entire fiscal
year ending December 31, 1995.  It is suggested that the interim
financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited
consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31,
1994, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on
Form 10-K (Commission File Number 0-17394).

NOTE 2 - DUE FROM RELATED PARTIES
  Receivables have been generated by transactions with related
parties, which are detailed as follows:

                     Current        Long-term               
  Due from Buyer:    $29,121         $     -
  Due from Officer    34,869          97,245 
                     $63,990         $97,245
   
NOTE 3 - ASSET SALE
  The Company sold specific assets and liabilities of the
Information division, effective August 1,1991, to Ford
Publishing, Inc.  These assets included all of the existing book
inventory, Corfacts' customer database, the business information
software and a collection of marketing material.  In addition to
the negotiated purchase price, Corfacts has been receiving 5% of
gross sales of the buyer, and will continue to receive these
payments up to a total payment of $50,000.  However, Corfacts
cannot predict whether all of these payments will actually be
received, and is, therefore, recording this income as Revenue
Sharing.

NOTE 4 - OTHER RECEIVABLES
  Municipal tax liens subject the Company to the potential loss
of investment.  If the Company is forced to foreclose on the real
estate listed as collateral, there is a potential for total loss
from the investment if the property cannot be sold.

NOTE 5 - INVESTMENT IN PARTNERSHIP
  The partnership's only assets are municipal tax liens.  If the
Company is forced to foreclose on the real estate listed as
collateral, there is a potential for total loss from this
investment if the property cannot be sold.<PAGE>

                      PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION

ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations

The analysis of the Company's financial condition, capital
resources and operating results should be viewed in conjunction
with the accompanying financial statements, including the notes
thereto.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995, COMPARED TO THE SIX MONTHS ENDED
JUNE 30, 1994
Corfacts has been unsuccessful in locating a suitable merger or
acquisition candidate to return the Company to a more active
operating status.  As a result of this, management has decided to
return its focus to the publishing industry and is now compiling
data for use in a new informational directory.  It is expected
that the first edition will be completed in the third or fourth
quarter of 1995.  Management will carefully monitor this project
with the intent of developing this operation, if successful, into
expanded geographical and informational areas.

Revenue sharing relative to the sale of the information division
for the six month period ended June 30, 1995 was $6,721 as
compared to $6,585 for the same period last year.  The increase
in revenue sharing is the result of higher sales for Ford
Publishing during this period as compared to the six months ended
June 30, 1994.  To date, the Company has received approximately
$46,800 of the total $50,000 royalty payment to be paid by Ford
Publishing, Inc.  The Company expects to receive the remainder of
this royalty during fiscal 1995.  During the first quarter of
1995, the Company entered into a joint venture publishing project
with Ford Publishing, Inc.  As part of this agreement, Corfacts
has invested $10,000 to help fund the completion of this project. 
In addition to being repaid, the Company will also receive
royalties on all books sold.  In the event that these directories
do not sell as projected, the Company is guaranteed predetermined
return on its investment. These directories began shipment in
June, and  the Company has received $975 in royalties on this new
project during the first month of sales.  If this project is
successful, the Company will evaluate other publishing projects
in the future.

Total income derived from Tax Lien investments was $12,048 for
the six month period ended June 30,1995, as compared to $10,725
for the same period in 1994. Total income from Tax Lien
investments is broken down into two categories.  Income derived
from the Company's partnership in tax lien investment was $2,482,
as compared to $3,951 for the same six month period in 1994. 
Income from the Company's solely owned tax liens was $9,566, as
compared to $6,774 for the same period in 1994. Management
expects revenues from tax lien investments to decline due to the
increased competitive bidding on these liens, which has caused
the Company to refrain from making any new purchases, to date, in
fiscal 1995.

Interest income for the six months ended June 30, 1995 was $7,201
as compared to $7,812 for the same period last year.  Interest
income consists primarily of interest earned on Certificates of
Deposit and on Receivable from Buyer.

General and administrative costs increased by $7,682 from $48,584
in 1994 to $56,266 in 1995.  This increase is primarily
attributable to an increase in Officer Salary.  There was no
depreciation expense for the six months ended June 30, 1995 as
compared to the six months ended June 30, 1994, due to the fact
that all equipment and furniture have now been fully depreciated.

Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 1995 was $29,993, or
$.004 per share, as compared to $23,746, or $.003 for the same
period last year.  The Company's operations have remained
relatively constant and the Company does not expect any material
increase in revenues or expenses in the near future.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY

At June 30, 1995, the Company had current assets of $548,388,
including $465,177 in cash and cash equivalents, which includes
$386,191 in 90 day certificates of deposit  This amount exceeded
the Company's current liabilities of $12,292, providing working
capital of $536,096.

The average monthly cash usage, net of interest and revenues
earned on investments is approximately $6,000.  The investment in
a new business or joint venture would, of course, change this
monthly cash usage with the initial outlays required, results of
the investment, and the length of time it would take for the
investment to become self funding.

There are no plans at this time to increase personnel or make any
capital expenditures during fiscal 1995.  The Company plans to
use outside contractors for all research and compiling of data
for any publishing or other projects.

Most of the cash available in the Company has been invested in 90
day FDIC insured Certificates of Deposit at various local banking
institutions.  The interest rates on these Certificates have been
averaging between 2.75% and 5%.  Management reviews these
Certificates as they mature.

Revenues from Tax Lien investments are expected to diminish in
fiscal 1995 as many existing liens are redeemed and additional
liens have not been purchased due to the growing popularity of
these instruments and the increasing number of investors who are
willing, unlike the Company, to purchase these liens at very low
interest rates.<PAGE>
