                         AND SUBSIDIARIES AND AFFILIATE
          NOTES TO CONDENSED COMBINED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     The accompanying unaudited Combined Consolidated Financial Statements
have been prepared with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and of Regulation
S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes
required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of
normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been included. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year.

     Per share data is determined based on the weighted average number of common
and common equivalent shares outstanding. The calculation when applicable takes
into account the shares that may be issued upon exercise of stock option and
warrants, reduced by the shares repurchased with the funds received from their
exercise.

     ITEM 2 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
          OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULT OF OPERATIONS

Results of Operations
- ---------------------

     Net sales of $5.38 million decreased by $.34 million, or 6.0% from the
comparable prior year level of $5.72 million. This decrease was primarily in the
area of the Company's core operations, which accounts for over 90% of total
sales. This decrease was partially offset by a 17.7% increase in its
insurance subrogation division where the Company retains a percentage of amounts
collected from third parties.

     The Company's gross margin increased to 19.8% as compared to the comparable
prior year level of 19.1%. This increase of 3.7% was attributable to increases
in those areas which yield a higher gross margin than that of its core business.
Such departments are insurance subrogation, MVR reporting and fees charged for
specialized reports available to all fleet customers.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $110,978 from the
previous year level of $1.248 million. This decrease of 8.9% was primarily
attributable to payroll decreasing by $94,000 as a result of a 16% reduction in
the Company's workforce. Such a reduction had a corresponding effect on the
Company's other administrative expenses which saw an overall decrease of
$16,877.

     Interest expense of $98,348 decreased by $7,747 over the prior year. This
decrease was the result of a $26,725 reduction of interest charged on the
Company's revolving credit with a finance company. This was partially offset by
a $20,983 increase in interest charged an a note payable to a former shareholder
of the Company.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

     Net cash flows used in operating activities were $24,580 for the three
months ended July 31, 1997 compared with $369,895 for the comparable prior year
period. The decrease resulted from changes in accounts payable and accrued
expenses which were partially offset by increases in accounts receivable.

     Cash used in investing activities for the three months ended July 31, 1997
totaled $21,724 as compared with $57,135 for the comparable prior year period.
Net cash flows used in investing activities decreased due to a reduction in
loans to officers which was partially offset by an increase in capital
expenditures.

     Net cash provided by financing activities was $65,559 for the three months
ended July 31, 1997 compared with $441,215 for the comparable prior year period.
This was primarily due to the repayment of our note payable to our finance
company of $221,329 which was partially offset by an increase in our bank
overdraft.

     The Company has negative working capital and has limited availability under
its existing credit facility and will need additional capital to have sufficient
liquidity and to meet its working capital needs for the foreseeable future. It
is the Company's intention to refinance its mortgage liability on a short term
basis. The Company expects to enter into a sale and leaseback arrangement with
respect to its property in the near future.

          On June 2, 1997, the Company sold 25,000 shares of Preferred Stock,
          Series C (the "Preferred Stock") to Meadows Management, LLC at a
          purchase price of $25,000. Each share of the Preferred Stock is
          convertible at any time into 100 shares of Common Stock at a
          conversion price of $0.10 per share. The sale and issuance of the
          Preferred Stock was exempt from registration by virtue of Section 4(2)
          of the Securities Act of 1933. The proceeds from the sale of the
