                  Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                                  (Unaudited)



1. The consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 1997 and the related
consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine month periods
ended March 31, 1997 and 1996 have been prepared by NAM Corporation, including
the accounts of its wholly-owned subsidiaries. In the opinion of management,
all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position as of March
31, 1997 and for all periods presented, consisting of normal recurring
adjustments, have been made. Results of operations for the nine month period
ended March 31, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results
expected for the full year.

2. The Company completed its initial public offering on
November 18, 1996 and the over-allotment on December 3, 1996, which, in the
aggregate, consisted of 1,460,000 units, realizing approximately $4.7 million
in net proceeds after offering costs. Each unit included one share of common
stock and one redeemable warrant exercisable at $6.00 per share.

3. Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash, money market funds and
securities with a maturity at date of purchase of three months or less.
Securities available for sale consist of government securities, corporate
bonds and marketable equity securities.

4. In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share," which is
effective for financial statements for both interim and annual periods ending
after December 15, 1997. Early adoption of the new standard is not permitted.
The new standard eliminates primary and fully diluted earnings per share and
requires presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share together with
disclosure of how the per share amounts were computed. The adoption of this
new standard is not expected to have a material impact on the disclosure of
earnings per share in the financial statements.

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


     The following Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations contains forward-looking statements within the
meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the "Act").
The Company desires to avail itself of certain "safe harbor" provisions of the
Act and therefore is including this special note to enable it to do so.
Forward-looking statements contained herein involve risks and uncertainties.
The Company's actual results and experience could differ materially from those
anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors
including changes in the markets and/or regions currently served by the
Company and in those markets and/or regions that the Company may expand into;
changes in the insurance industry; the Company's inability to retain current
or new hearing officers; and changes in the public court system.

General

     The Company provides alternative dispute resolution ("ADR") services to
insurance companies, law firms, large self-insured corporations and
municipalities. To date, the Company has focused the majority of its marketing
efforts on developing relationships, and expanding existing relationships,
with insurance companies which the Company believes are some of the largest
consumers of ADR services.

     The Company opened for business in March 1992 in New York and currently
has offices in New York, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Tennessee, South
Carolina and the Midwest. The Midwest region, with headquarters in Wisconsin,
commenced operations in the third quarter of the 1997 fiscal year.

     The Company's objective is to become the leading provider of ADR services
nationally. To accomplish this goal, the Company plans to open up new offices
in states where it does not presently have offices, which may include the
acquisition of existing ADR companies. In addition, the Company intends to
increase its marketing of its ADR services to litigants in other types of
disputes, including complex commercial issues, construction, employment and
worker's compensation cases.

Third Quarter Ended March 31, 1997 Compared to Third Quarter Ended March 31,
1996

     Revenues. Revenues increased 8% to $739,034 for the third quarter ended
March 31, 1997 from $682,022 for the comparable prior period. Management
attributes this growth in sales to a higher level of business with existing as
well as new clients in a majority of its offices. Excluding the Pennsylvania
office,

                                       7

<PAGE>

revenues for the other offices combined increased approximately 14% over the
prior period. Management believes that the Pennsylvania office will continue
to experience a lower volume of cases heard through the end of the fiscal year
and into the 1998 fiscal year. The Company has focused its resources in
re-staffing and rebuilding this location in an effort to reverse this trend.
In addition, the current period includes approximately $13,000 from a new
source of business. Such revenue relates to commissions earned from the
referral of clients to a company specializing in structured settlements.

     Cost of Services. Cost of services increased 11% to $177,660 for the
third quarter ended March 31, 1997 from $159,493 for the third quarter ended
March 31, 1996. The higher volume of business serviced resulted in greater
hearing officer fees. In addition, cost of services as a percentage of
revenues remained stable at 24% in the third quarter of fiscal year 1997 as
compared to 23% in the third quarter of fiscal year 1996.

     Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing costs increased 66% to $533,610
for the third quarter ended March 31, 1997 from $321,681 for the third quarter
ended March 31, 1996. This expense category includes all salary and related
payroll and employee benefit costs as well as advertising and promotional
expenses. Sales-related employee commissions have risen based on the higher
volume of business. Sales and marketing costs as a percentage of revenues
increased to 72% in the third quarter of fiscal year 1997 from 47% in the
third quarter of fiscal year 1996. This is attributed to the hiring and
upgrading of personnel to staff and support the Company's expansion plans. For
example, the Midwest region, with personnel in Wisconsin and Illinois, opened
during the current period. In addition, at the end of the current quarter, the
Company embarked on an advertising campaign with the goal of creating an
increased national presence through a variety of media. Additional marketing
expenditures are planned in the fourth quarter as well as in the 1998 fiscal
year. Proceeds from the initial public offering are being utilized for this
marketing effort.

     General and Administrative. General and administrative costs increased
43% to $316,672 for the third quarter ended March 31, 1997 from $221,896 for
the third quarter ended March 31, 1996. Furthermore, general and
administrative costs as a percentage of revenues increased to 43% in the third
quarter of fiscal year 1997 from 33% for the comparable prior period. A
portion of the increase relates to higher rent expense. To support business
opportunities throughout the country, larger office space was obtained in four
locations and new offices were opened in Wisconsin and Illinois. In addition,
higher expenses were incurred in the



                                       8

<PAGE>
third quarter of the fiscal year for professional fees and employee
recruitment arising from the expansion of the Company as well as the overall
additional costs of being a publicly traded entity.

     Other Income. Other income increased 303% to $63,063 for the third
quarter ended March 31, 1997 from $15,663 for the third quarter ended March
31, 1996. Other income as a percentage of revenues increased to 9% in the
third quarter of fiscal year 1997 from 2% in the third quarter of fiscal year
1996. The current period reflects the first full quarter of income generated
from the investment of the initial public offering proceeds which have yet to
be used in operations. Other income in the prior period was offset by interest
expense relating to a past private placement financing. This debt was
satisfied in full on November 20, 1996.

     Provision for Income Taxes. The Company's tax expense for the third
quarter ended March 31, 1997 and 1996 was $2,766 and $2,330, respectively, and
relates to state franchise taxes.

     Net Loss. Net loss for the third quarter ended March 31, 1997 increased
to ($228,611) from ($7,715) for the comparable 1996 period. As discussed
above, this decrease was primarily due to higher general and administrative
expenditures as well as sales and marketing costs incurred as an investment in
the Company's infrastructure in anticipation of future growth.


Nine Months Ended March 31, 1997 Compared to Nine Months Ended March 31, 1996

     Revenues. Revenues increased 12% to $2,474,654 for the nine months ended
March 31, 1997 from $2,204,178 for the comparable 1996 period. Management
attributes this growth in sales to a higher level of business with existing as
well as new clients in all offices other than Pennsylvania. Excluding
Pennsylvania, revenues grew by 19% over the prior period for all other offices
combined. Management believes that the Pennsylvania office will continue to
experience a lower volume of cases heard through the end of the fiscal year
and into the 1998 fiscal year. The Company has focused its resources in
re-staffing and rebuilding this location in an effort to reverse this trend.
In addition, in the third quarter of this fiscal year, approximately $13,000
of revenues were generated from commissions earned from an arrangement with a
company specializing in structured settlements.

     Cost of Services. Cost of services increased 21% to $610,183 for the nine
months ended March 31, 1997 from $505,123 for the nine months ended March 31,
1996. The higher volume of business serviced resulted in greater hearing
officer fees. In addition, cost of services as a percentage of revenues
increased slightly to 25% in the first nine months of fiscal year 1997 from
23% in the comparable prior period.


                                       9

<PAGE>

     Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing costs increased 41% to
$1,451,710 for the nine months ended March 31, 1997 from $1,026,264 for the
nine months ended March 31, 1996. Sales-related employee commissions have
risen based on the higher volume of business. Furthermore, sales and marketing
costs as a percentage of revenues for the nine months ended March 31, 1997
increased to 59% from 47% for the comparable prior period. This is attributed
to the hiring and upgrading of personnel to staff and support the Company's
expansion plans as evidenced by the opening of the Midwest region during the
third quarter of 1997.

         General and Administrative. General and administrative costs
increased 38% to $767,110 for the nine months ended March 31, 1997 from
$553,913 for the nine months ended March 31, 1996. Furthermore, general and
administrative costs as a percentage of revenues for the nine months ended
March 31, 1997 increased to 31% from 25% for the comparable prior period.
Higher costs with respect to rent, professional fees and employee recruitment
were due to the expansion of the Company and its status as a publicly traded
entity.

     Other Income (Loss). Other income (loss)changed to a loss of $42,038 for
the nine months ended March 31, 1997 from income of $3,405 for the nine months
ended March 31, 1996. In connection with the initial public offering, the
Company contributed warrants underlying units sold by two executive officers
and also agreed to pay the underwriting costs associated with shares sold by
them. With respect thereto, the Company expensed $115,500 upon the
consummation of the initial public offering in the second quarter. Offsetting
this expense was investment income generated from the proceeds of the initial
public offering that have yet to be used in operations. Other income in the
prior period was offset by interest expense relating to a past private
placement financing. This debt was satisfied in full on November 20, 1996.

     Provision for Income Taxes. The Company's tax expense for the nine months
ended March 31, 1997 and 1996 was $3,945 and $3,525, respectively. Such
expense represents state franchise taxes.

     Net Income (loss). Net income (loss) for the nine months ended March 31,
1997 decreased to ($400,332) from $118,758 for the comparable 1996 period. As
discussed above, this decrease was primarily due to higher general and
administrative expenditures as well as sales and marketing costs incurred as
an investment in the Company's infrastructure in anticipation of future
growth. In addition, the current period was adversely affected by
non-recurring charges incurred in connection with the initial public offering.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     At March 31, 1997, the Company had working capital surplus of $3,957,774
compared to a working capital deficit of $464,426 at June 30, 1996. This
change in working capital was primarily due to the Company's completion of its
initial public offering on November 18, 1996.

         Net cash used in operating activities was $493,531 for the nine
months ended March 31, 1997 versus cash provided by operating activities of
$144,741 in the prior comparable period. The decline is attributable to the
decrease in net income (loss) from the nine month period ended March 31, 1996
to the same period in the current year: $118,758 in 1996 versus ($400,332) in
1997. Furthermore, upon receipt of the funds from the initial public offering,
accounts payable and accrued expenses were paid down. This results in a use of
operating funds.

     Net cash used in investing activities was $2,979,319 for the nine months
ended March 31, 1997 versus $97,642 for the comparable prior period.
Additional investing activity occurred primarily in the second and third
quarters of the 1997 fiscal year when the net proceeds from the initial public
offering were received. Initially, a majority of the proceeds was invested in
money market funds which are considered cash equivalents. However, during the
third quarter, a portion of these funds was invested in other short-term
securities to achieve a better yield.

     Net cash provided by financing activities was $4,451,038 for the nine
months ended March 31, 1997 primarily as the result of proceeds realized from
the initial public offering. A portion of the proceeds were utilized to repay
promissory notes in the aggregate amount of $400,000. The notes bore interest
at a rate of 8% per annum, and were originally due June 30, 1996. Subsequently
the due dates of the notes were extended to December 31, 1996. On November 20,
1996, the notes were repaid in full.
