                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
              For the Three Months Ended March 31, 1995 and 1994

        1. Basis of Presentation

        The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10
Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, the
financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by
generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In
the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring
accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
Results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1995, are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending
December 31, 1995. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial
statements and related notes thereto included in the Company's annual report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1994.

        2. Common Stock and Earnings Per Share

        There were 4,864,818 and 5,298,718 weighted average shares of common 
stock issued and outstanding during the three months ended March 31, 1995 and 
1994, respectively.

        3. Income Taxes

        The income tax provisions for the three months ended March 31, 1995 and 
1994, do not bear a normal relationship to the statutory federal income tax rate
of 34% mainly as a result of amortization of goodwill related to acquisitions 
which is not deductible for income tax purposes.

        4. Proposed Merger

        On January 25, 1995, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of
Merger, as amended, with Tribune/Swab-Fox Companies, Inc. ("Tribune/Swab-Fox")
whereby, subject to approval of each company's stockholders, Tribune/Swab-Fox
will be merged with and into the Company. Tribune/Swab-Fox stockholders (other
than the Company) will receive 0.1255 of a share of the Company's common stock
or, if elected, and subject to certain limitations, $0.88 in cash, for each
Tribune/Swab-Fox share.

        5. Related Party Transactions

        Management and administrative services are provided by the Company's 
corporate staff to Tribune/Swab-Fox which, at March 31, 1995, owned 78% of the 
Company's outstanding common stock.  The charge of $45,000 to Tribune/Swab-Fox  
in 1995 and $23,333 per month in 1994 for these services is based on an 
agreement between Tribune/Swab-Fox and the Company (which is subject to review 
again if the proposed merger is not approved by both companies' stockholders

at each of the Speacial Meeting of Stockholders on May 24, 1995), and is

        6. Assets Held For Sale

        The Company's Board of Directors has approved for sale and the Company
has engaged an investment banker to sell three of BMT Communications, Inc.'s
trade journals. Accordingly, the net assets related to these trade journals are
reflected as "Assets held for sale" in the balance sheets. Publishing revenues

held for sale for the three months ended March 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

1995, consists of increases in employment histories revenue, both higher volume
and an increase in the price of employment histories in early 1994, volume
increase in the criminal records product introduced in 1993, and an increase in
MVR revenues (due mainly to higher average revenue per MVR resulting from a
change in the MVR customer mix), offset by a $555,000 decrease during the three
months ended March 31, 1995, in long distance telephone resale revenue as a
result of the Company exiting this business during the latter part of the first
quarter of 1994 due to competitive and regulatory considerations.

        Other operating income for the three months ended March 31, 1995, is
lower than 1994 since a co-sponsored trade show for the convenience store
industry occurred in April, 1995, whereas this trade show was held in March, 
1994.

        Publishing costs and expenses were $128,000 higher for the three months
ended March 31, 1995, as compared with the same period in 1994, which is related
to the increase in

advertising pages in 1995. Exposition services costs and expenses increased
during the three months ended March 31, 1995, mainly related to Galaxy.
Information services costs and expenses were $267,000 higher for the three
months ended March 31, 1995, as compared with 1994. The increase in costs
related to new employment screening services which were commenced in mid-1994
and the increase in personnel and communications costs related to higher
volumes, was partially offset by the decrease of approximately $470,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 1995, related to long distance telephone resale
costs because of exiting this business in the latter part of the first quarter
of 1994.

        General and administrative expenses were $746,000 higher for the three
months ended March 31, 1995, as compared with the same period in 1994. Galaxy
general and administrative expenses were $703,000 higher in 1995 and each of the
other divisions had small increases related to continued growth, whereas
corporate expenses were approximately $100,000 lower for the three months in
1995.

        Interest expenses did not significantly change for the three months
ended March 31, 1995, as compared with the same period in 1994, because higher
interest rates on debt tied to the prime rate offset the reduction in interest
related to principal payments on debt during the past year.

        Depreciation and amortization increased $315,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 1995, as compared with the same period in 1994, substantially
all related to Galaxy (both the number of months Galaxy was included in each
year and depreciation related to Galaxy's 1994 and 1995 capital expenditures,
which have a short depreciable life, to handle Galaxy's growth in 1994 and 1995.

        Provision for income taxes as a percent of income before income taxes 
is higher than the statutory federal income tax rate since goodwill amortization
related to acquisitions is not deductible for income tax purposes.

        Financial Condition
        -------------------

        The changes in the Company's financial condition during the three months
ended March 31, 1995, are mainly seasonal changes related to the Company's
exposition services and trade publishing operations. The increase in outstanding
balance of the loan to parent company is under a short-term line-of-credit,
details of which are set forth in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the fiscal year ended December 31, 1994.
