                        AND SUBSIDIARIES AND AFFILIATES
         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 $5,692,000 and $17,051,000 for the three and nine months
ended January 31, 1998 increased by 0.1% and 0.1%, respectively, from
$5,657,000 and $16,933,300, respectively for the comparable prior year
periods. This was the result in increases in the Company's core operations
(mechanical repairs, glass replacement and auto rentals) as well as continued
growth in its insurance subrogation division and its MVR service.

     The Company's gross margin was 18.8% for the three months ended January
31, 1998 and 19.1% for the nine months ended January 31, 1998 as compared to
18.9% and 18.4% respectively, for the comparable prior year periods. This
increase was attributable to increases in those areas which yield a higher
gross margin than that of other segments of its core business. Such
departments are subrogation, MVR reporting and fees charged for specialized
reports available to all fleet customers.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three and nine
months ended January 31, 1998 decreased to $1,071,711 and $3,158,994
respectively, from $1,116,851 and $3,781,942, respectively for the comparable
prior year periods. The 0.4% and 16.5% decreases were primarily attributable
to a 29.9% reduction in the Company's workforce. Such a reduction had a
corresponding effect on the Company's other administrative expenses which
resulted in decreases in across the board spending.

     Interest expense decreased to $108,186 and $290,053 for the three and nine
months ended January 31, 1998, respectively, from $110,299 and $347,536,
respectively, for the comparable prior year periods. This was primarily due to
a decrease in our loan balance to our finance company, in addition to a
decrease on our capital lease obligations.

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

     Net cash used in operating activities was $129,771 for the nine months
ended January 31, 1998 as compared with $665,393 used in operations for the
comparable prior year period. This was primarily the result of an increase in
accounts payable and accounts receivable which was partially offset with
favorable net income of almost $832,000.

     Cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended January 31,
1998 totaled $34,864 as compared with $89,680 for the comparable prior year
period. Net cash flows used in investing activities decreased due to a
reduction in loans to officers.

     Net cash provided by financing activities was $156,839 for the nine
months ended January 31, 1998 compared with $763,273 for the comparable prior
year period. This was primarily the result of the Company selling Series A
preferred stock and warrants which resulted in net proceeds of $822,625. In
addition, there were increases in our bank overdraft as well additional
borrowings from our finance company.

     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.

                         Readiness for the Year 2000
                         ---------------------------
