                               PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
 
     The following summary is qualified in its entirety by, and should be read
in conjunction with, the more detailed information and financial statements,
including the notes thereto, appearing elsewhere in this Prospectus.
 
                                  THE COMPANY
 
     F.Y.I. Incorporated (the "Company" or "F.Y.I.") was founded in September
1994 to create a national, single-source provider of document management
services to three primary client segments: healthcare institutions, professional
services firms and financial institutions. In January 1996, F.Y.I. acquired (the
"Acquisitions"), simultaneously with the closing of its initial public offering
(the "Offering"), seven document management services businesses (the "Founding
Companies"). The Founding Companies, which have been in business an average of
22 years, are headquartered in San Francisco (2), San Jose, Fort Worth, Detroit,
Malvern (Philadelphia) and Baltimore, and operate in over 23 states. Since the
Offering, the Company has acquired seven additional companies (together with the
Founding Companies, the "Operating Companies") which provide document management
services and are headquartered in Washington, D.C., Baltimore, San Jose,
Sacramento and Seattle. The Company had pro forma fiscal 1995 annual revenues of
approximately $70.7 million and pro forma fiscal 1995 net income of $4.7 million
after giving effect to the significant acquisitions. The Company operates with a
decentralized management strategy rather than a standardized national model in
order to provide superior customer service and retain the historical customers
of acquired businesses while achieving the operating efficiencies of a large
organization. This strategy also emphasizes the retention of local management,
which the Company believes makes it an attractive acquiror of other document
management services companies. See "The Company."
 
     The Company's three primary client segments are highly document-intensive.
For a variety of regulatory, client service and other reasons, the documents of
the Company's clients must be maintained, accessed and managed for extensive
periods of time, often under strict guidelines and specifications. While the
document management requirements of each target client segment are relatively
unique and require a specialized understanding of that segment, the Company
offers certain common document management services that are transferable across
its targeted client segments. These services, which are offered by one or more
of the Operating Companies, include: (i) micrographic services, including
microfilm and microfiche production and processing; (ii) electronic imaging
services, including the conversion of documents into digitized media using
sophisticated computer technology; (iii) active storage and maintenance of
documents and files; (iv) archival storage of inactive documents; and (v)
information and database management services. In addition, in order to better
fulfill the document management needs of targeted client segments, certain
Operating Companies also offer industry specific services such as litigation
support, including subpoena, authorization, photocopying and service of process
services, medical records release services and remittance processing. The
Company also derives revenue from the sale of certain micrographic and business
imaging products.
 
     Historically, the document management services industry has been highly
fragmented, consisting primarily of small local or regional businesses that
limit their operations to a narrow range of offered services or provide services
only to selected client segments. The Company believes that significant
opportunities are available to a business that can consolidate the capabilities
and resources of a number of existing document management services businesses.
In order to effect such a consolidation, the Company has implemented an
aggressive acquisition program designed to expand its range of offered services
and acquire additional market share in each of its targeted geographic markets.

     The Company believes that each of its targeted geographic markets can
support the following range of services:
 
                                   [CHART]
 
     The Company believes that the consolidation of document management services
businesses will provide it with a significant competitive advantage over
existing smaller businesses. In addition to economies of scale, the Company
expects to benefit from enhanced operating efficiencies and significant
cross-selling opportunities. As the Company gains critical mass in certain
geographic markets, it expects to be able to capitalize on its existing client
relationships and technical expertise to: (i) vertically integrate by expanding
the services offered to each of its client segments; and (ii) horizontally
integrate by offering certain transferable services to a larger overall customer
base.

                                  RISK FACTORS
 
     Prospective purchasers of the Common Stock offered hereby should consider
carefully the specific factors set forth below as well as the other information
set forth in this Prospectus in evaluating an investment in the Company.
 
ABSENCE OF COMBINED OPERATING HISTORY; RISKS OF INTEGRATION
 
     F.Y.I. was founded in September 1994 and conducted no operations prior to
the consummation of the Offering. F.Y.I. acquired the Founding Companies
simultaneously with the closing of the Offering. The Company effected seven
additional acquisitions since the Offering. Prior to their acquisition, the
Operating Companies operated as separate independent entities. Currently, the
Company has a decentralized financial reporting system and initially relies on
the existing reporting systems of the Operating Companies. The success of the
Company will depend, in part, on the Company's ability to integrate the
operations of the Operating Companies, including centralizing certain functions
to achieve cost savings and developing programs and processes that will promote
cooperation and the sharing of opportunities and resources among the Operating
Companies. F.Y.I.'s management group has been assembled only recently and has no
previous experience in the document management services industry. There can be
no assurance that the management group will effectively be able to oversee the
combined entity and implement the Company's operating or growth strategies.
Further, to the extent that the Company is able to implement its acquisition
strategy, the resulting growth of the Company will place significant demands on
management and on the Company's internal systems and controls. There can be no
assurance that the newly assembled management group will effectively be able to
direct the Company through a period of significant growth. See
"Business -- Acquisition Program," "-- Organization" and "Management."
 
     A number of the Operating Companies offer different services, utilize
different capabilities and technologies and target different geographic markets
and client segments. While the Company believes that there are substantial
opportunities in integrating the businesses of the Operating Companies, these
differences increase the risk inherent in successfully completing such
integration. Further, there can be no assurance that the Company's strategy to
establish a single-source provider for document management services will be
successful, or that the Company's target client segments will accept the Company
as a provider of such services. In addition, there can be no assurance that the
operating results of the Company will match or exceed the combined individual
operating results achieved by the Operating Companies prior to their
acquisition.
 
ACQUISITION STRATEGY
 
     The Company's primary growth strategy is the acquisition of additional
document management services businesses which will complement its existing
businesses. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to identify
or reach mutually agreeable terms with acquisition candidates and their owners,
or that the Company will be able to profitably manage additional businesses or
successfully integrate such additional businesses into the Company without
substantial costs, delays or other problems. Acquisitions may involve a number
of special risks including: adverse short-term effects on the Company's reported
operating results; diversion of management's attention; dependence on retention,
hiring and training of key personnel; risks associated with unanticipated
problems or legal liabilities; and amortization of acquired intangible assets.
Some or all of these risks could have a material adverse effect on the Company's
operations and financial performance. In addition, to the extent that
consolidation becomes more prevalent in the industry, the prices for attractive
acquisition candidates may be bid up to higher levels and, in any event, there
can be no assurance that businesses acquired in the future will achieve sales
and profitability that justify the investment therein. See
"Business -- Acquisition Program."
 
NEED FOR ADDITIONAL FINANCING TO IMPLEMENT ACQUISITION STRATEGY
 
     The Company currently intends to finance future acquisitions by using its
Common Stock, including the Common Stock offered by this Prospectus, for all or
a portion of the consideration to be paid. In the event that the Company's
Common Stock does not maintain sufficient value, or potential acquisition
candidates are
 
                                        6
<PAGE>   7
 
unwilling to accept the Company's Common Stock as consideration for the sale of
their businesses, the Company may be required to utilize more of its cash
resources, if available, in order to continue its acquisition program. If the
Company does not have sufficient cash resources, its growth could be limited
unless it is able to obtain capital through additional debt or equity
financings. In April 1996, the Company and its subsidiaries entered into a
credit agreement, as amended (the "Line of Credit"), with Banque Paribas, as
agent, and the lenders named therein. Under the Line of Credit, the Company and
its subsidiaries may borrow, on a revolving credit basis, loans in an aggregate
outstanding principal amount of $5.0 million for working capital and general
corporate purposes and term loans in an aggregate principal amount of $30.0
million for acquisitions, subject to certain restrictions in the Line of Credit.
The commitments to fund revolving credit loans and term loans expire April 14,
2001 and October 15, 1997, respectively. Loans under the Line of Credit will
bear interest, at the option of the Company, at a rate per annum of (i) Banque
Paribas' prime rate plus 1.50% or (ii) an adjusted London inter-bank offered
rate plus 3.00%. As of July 1, 1996, the availability under the Line of Credit
was approximately $3.0 million for working capital and approximately $21.8
million for acquisitions. There can be no assurance, however, that funds
available under such Line of Credit will be sufficient for the Company's needs.
See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations -- Liquidity and Capital Resources" and "Business -- Acquisition
Program."
 
DEPENDENCE ON CERTAIN CLIENT SEGMENTS AND TECHNOLOGY
 
     The Company derives its revenues primarily from its three targeted client
segments: healthcare institutions, professional services firms and financial
institutions. Fundamental changes in the business practices of any of these
client segments, whether due to regulatory, technological or other developments,
could cause a material reduction in demand by such clients for the services
offered by the Company. Any such reduction in demand would have a material
adverse effect on the results of operations of the Company. Although the Company
believes that it will be able to continue to offer services based on the newest
technologies, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain
the rights to use any such technologies, that it will be able to effectively
implement such technologies on a cost-effective basis or that such technologies
will not render obsolete the Company's role as a third party provider of
document management services. See "Business -- Services Offered by the Operating
Companies."
 
COMPETITION
 
     The document management services businesses in which the Company competes
and expects to compete are highly competitive. A significant source of
competition is the in-house document handling capability of the Company's target
client base. There can be no assurance that these businesses will outsource more
of their document management needs or that such businesses will not bring
in-house services that they currently outsource. In addition, certain of the
Company's competitors are larger businesses, many of which have greater
financial resources than the Company. Certain of these competitors operate in
broader geographic areas than the Company, and others may choose to enter the
Company's areas of operation in the future. In addition, the Company intends to
enter new geographic areas through internal growth and acquisitions and expects
to encounter significant competition from established competitors in each of
such new areas. As a result of this highly competitive environment, the Company
may lose customers or have difficulty in acquiring new customers, and its
revenues and margins may be adversely affected. See "Business -- Competition."
 
EFFECT OF POTENTIAL FLUCTUATIONS IN OPERATING RESULTS ON PRICE OF COMMON STOCK;
VOLATILITY OF STOCK PRICE
 
     Results for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results that
the Company may achieve for any subsequent quarter or a full fiscal year.
Quarterly results may vary materially as a result of the timing and structure of
acquisitions, the timing and magnitude of costs related to such acquisitions,
the gain or loss of material client relationships and variations in the prices
charged by the Company for the services it provides. In addition, since a
significant portion of the Company's revenues are generated on a
project-by-project basis, the timing or completion of material projects could
result in fluctuations in the Company's results of operations for particular
quarterly periods. Further, because the anticipated financial benefits of the
combination of the Operating Companies may not be generated immediately, the
Company's initial results as a combined company may reflect corporate overhead
that exceeds the realized benefits. Such fluctuations in operating results may
adversely affect the market price of the Company's Common Stock. The market
price
 
                                        7
<PAGE>   8
 
for the Company's shares may also fluctuate in response to material
announcements by the Company or significant clients of the Company, changes in
the economic or other conditions impacting the Company's targeted client
segments and general economic conditions outside of the Company. See
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations -- Fluctuations in Quarterly Results of Operations."
 
RELIANCE ON KEY PERSONNEL
 
     The Company's operations are dependent on the continued efforts of Thomas
C. Walker, Ed H. Bowman, Jr., David Lowenstein, Timothy J. Barker, Margot T.
Lebenberg, its other executive officers and on senior management of the
Operating Companies. Furthermore, the Company will also be dependent on the
senior management of businesses acquired in the future. If any of these people
is unable or unwilling to continue in his or her present role, or if the Company
is unable to attract and retain other skilled employees, the Company's business
could be adversely affected. The Company does not intend to obtain key man life
insurance covering any of its executive officers or other members of senior
management. See "Management."
 
POTENTIAL LIABILITY FOR BREACH OF CONFIDENTIALITY
 
     A substantial portion of the Company's business involves the handling of
documents containing confidential and other sensitive information. Although the
Operating Companies have established procedures intended to eliminate any
unauthorized disclosure of confidential information and, in some cases, have
contractually limited their potential liability for unauthorized disclosure of
such information, there can be no assurance that unauthorized disclosures will
not result in liability to the Company. It is possible that such liabilities
could have a material adverse effect on the Company.
 
CONTROL BY MANAGEMENT
 
     The former stockholders of the Operating Companies and the directors and
other executive officers of the Company, and entities affiliated with them,
beneficially own approximately 35.7% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock
and exercise substantial control over the Company's affairs. These stockholders
acting together would likely be able to elect a sufficient number of directors
to control the Board and to approve or disapprove any matter submitted to a vote
of stockholders. See "Principal Stockholders."
 
POTENTIAL EFFECT OF SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE ON PRICE OF COMMON STOCK
 
     The market price of the Common Stock of the Company could be adversely
affected by the sale of substantial amounts of Common Stock of the Company in
the public market.
 
     The Company issued 2,185,000 shares of Common Stock in the Offering, all of
which may be sold in the public market. In addition, simultaneously with the
closing of the Offering, the former owners of the Founding Companies received,
in the aggregate, 1,878,933 shares of Common Stock as a portion of the
consideration for their businesses. Such shares are not being offered by this
Prospectus and have not been registered under the Securities Act, and therefore
may not be resold except in transactions registered under the Securities Act or
pursuant to an exemption from registration. Certain other stockholders of F.Y.I.
hold, in the aggregate, an additional 1,205,682 shares of Common Stock. See
"Business -- Organization." None of these 1,205,682 shares of Common Stock were
acquired in transactions registered under the Securities Act, and, accordingly,
such shares may not be sold except in transactions registered under the
Securities Act or pursuant to an exemption from registration. However, the
holders of all such 3,084,615 unregistered shares have certain registration
rights with respect to such shares.
 
     The Company issued 253,252 shares of Common Stock in connection with the
acquisitions which closed in May 1996. These 253,252 shares of Common Stock were
registered under this Registration Statement, but are subject to certain
contractual transfer restrictions until May 31, 1998.
 
     The Company has reserved for issuance under its 1995 Stock Option Plan (the
"Plan") an aggregate of 650,000 shares of Common Stock or 12% of the aggregate
number of shares of the Common Stock
 
                                        8
<PAGE>   9
 
outstanding, whichever is greater. The Company has registered the shares
issuable upon exercise of options granted under the Plan, and such shares will
be eligible for resale in the public market. The Company also has warrants
outstanding for the purchase of 165,000 shares of Common Stock.
 
     The former owners of the Founding Companies and the initial stockholders of
the Company are contractually prohibited by the Company from selling such shares
until at least January 26, 1998 (other than certain sales registered under the
Securities Act).
 
EFFECT OF CERTAIN CHARTER PROVISIONS
 
     The Board of Directors of the Company is empowered to issue preferred stock
without stockholder action. The existence of this "blank-check" preferred could
render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of the Company
by means of a tender offer, merger, proxy contest or otherwise. See "Description
of Capital Stock."

                                  THE COMPANY
 
     F.Y.I. Incorporated was founded in September 1994 under the laws of the
State of Delaware to create a national, single-source provider of document
management services. Prior to the Offering, F.Y.I. did not conduct any
operations. F.Y.I. acquired simultaneously with the consummation of the
Offering, the following seven well-established businesses. For a description of
the transactions pursuant to which these businesses will be acquired, see
"Business -- Organization" and "Certain Transactions."

1994. Researchers is headquartered in San Francisco and had 1995 revenues of
$9.9 million.
 
     Recordex. Recordex Services, Inc. ("Recordex") provides medical records

     Deliverex. Deliverex, Incorporated (together with ASK Record Management, an

off-site management of medical records, including: filling of records requests;
extracting key pages within minutes for transmission to hospitals via facsimile
for emergency cases; computerized tracking of medical records to their
destinations; file system conversion; storage; and purging of files on a regular
basis. In addition, Deliverex is currently developing a system in which it
electronically images the most frequently used pages of a medical file so that
it can provide its clients with immediate access to such records at multiple
locations through linked computer terminals. Deliverex is a franchisor or
licensor to five other medical records businesses operating in San Francisco,
Seattle, Denver, Baltimore and Ft. Lauderdale. Deliverex had 1995 revenues of

     Permanent Records. Permanent Records, Inc. ("Permanent Records") provides a
complete document management outsourcing service for its hospital, clinic and
physician clients, including: on-site handling of medical records; off-site

1995 revenues of $1.6 million.
 
     The aggregate consideration paid by F.Y.I. to acquire the Founding
Companies was approximately $35 million, consisting of: (i) $7,059,000 in cash;
(ii) 1,878,933 shares of Common Stock; (iii) the assumption and repayment of
approximately $191,000 of indebtedness owed by a Founding Company stockholder;
and (iv) the distribution of cash and certain receivables to stockholders of
Imagent and Leonard, which are S corporations, in the amount of $2,750,000 and
$700,000, respectively, representing the Accumulated Adjustment Accounts ("AAA
accounts"). AAA accounts generally represent undistributed retained earnings of
an S corporation, upon which taxes have been paid by the shareholders. In
addition, prior to the closing of the Acquisitions, certain Founding Companies
made distributions to their stockholders of certain assets and related
liabilities, including the increase in net equity subsequent to June 30, 1995 of
each of the Founding Companies, other than Recordex. Based on the relevant
account balances as of December 31, 1995, the amount of these distributions was
$2,340,000. As such, total transfers of selected assets to and assumption of
selected liabilities of certain stockholders of the Founding Companies was in
the net amount of approximately $5,981,000 (of which $1,120,000 was distributed
prior to December 31, 1995).
 
     The aggregate consideration paid for each Founding Company was: (i)
Imagent -- $1,500,000 and 331,497 shares of Common Stock; (ii)
Researchers -- $2,750,000 and 681,400 shares of Common Stock; (iii)
Recordex -- $309,000 and 198,589 shares of Common Stock; (iv) DPAS -- $400,000
and 117,068 shares of Common Stock; (v) Leonard -- $1,250,000 and 253,274 shares
of Common Stock; (vi) Deliverex  -- $700,000 and 186,147 shares of Common Stock;
and (vii) Permanent Records -- $150,000 and 110,958 shares of Common Stock. In
addition, upon consummation of the acquisitions, the Company repaid
approximately $3,349,000 of third party indebtedness assumed by the Company in
the Acquisitions, virtually all of which was guaranteed by respective
stockholders of the Founding Companies, and $584,000 of indebtedness to such
stockholders. Combined with the $191,000 of assumed indebtedness referred to in
the immediately preceding paragraph, the total indebtedness repaid from the
proceeds of the Offering was approximately $4,124,000.
 
     The consideration paid by F.Y.I. for each Founding Company was determined
by arm's-length negotiations between F.Y.I. and representatives of such Founding
Company. See "Business -- Organization" and "Certain Transactions."
 
     The Company's executive offices are located at 3232 McKinney Avenue, Suite
900, Dallas, Texas 75204, and its telephone number is (214) 953-7555.

                              RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
 
     Since the closing of the Offering in January 1996, the Company has
acquired, seven additional document management services businesses. See "Risk
Factors."
 
     Cook. Robert A. Cook and Staff, Inc. and RAC Services, Inc. ("Cook").
Substantially all of the non-cash assets of Cook were acquired by Robert A. Cook
Acquisition Corp. ("Cook Acquisition") and RAC (California) Acquisition Corp.
("RAC Acquisition"), respectively two wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company
in June 1996. Cook provides litigation support services to hundreds of law firms
and insurance companies throughout the state of California. Founded in 1966,
Cook is headquartered in San Jose, California and had 1995 revenues of $12
million.
 
     B&B. B&B Information and Image Management, Inc. ("B&B"). B&B was acquired
by B&B (Baltimore-Washington) Acquisition Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of
the Company in May 1996 and provides document management services to clients in
the Washington, D.C. area. Founded in 1980, B&B's primary lines of business
include micrographic, electronic imaging and database services. B&B's primary
client relationships include financial institutions, insurance companies,
hospitals, and medical facilities. B&B is headquartered in Upper Marlboro,
Maryland and had 1995 revenues of $8 million.
 
     Premier. Premier Document Management, Inc. and PDM Services, Inc.
("Premier"). Premier was acquired by Premier Acquisition Corp., a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company in May 1996 and provides medical records release
services to over 195 clients throughout the State of Washington and northern
California. Based in Seattle, Washington, Premier was founded in 1984. Premier
had 1995 revenues of $3 million.
 
     In addition, substantially all of the assets of Sacramento Valley Records
Management Co. ("Sacramento"), a medical records storage and delivery franchise
company were acquired by Deliverex Sacramento Acquisition Corp. ("Deliverex
Sacramento"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company in March 1996 and reports
to Deliverex. In February 1996, certain of the assets of Microfilm Associates,
Ltd. ("Microfilm"), an imaging company, were acquired by Imagent and in June
1996, certain of the assets of Octo, Incorporated ("Octo"), an imaging company
were acquired by Imagent, both Mircrofilm and Octo have been physically
integrated into Imagent. In July 1996, substantially all of the assets of Domor
Data Processing ("Domor"), a data processing business were acquired by DPAS.
 
     The Company has recently strengthened its management team. The Company has
hired Margot T. Lebenberg as Vice President, Secretary and General Counsel to
oversee its legal matters. Ms. Lebenberg was formerly an associate at Morgan,
Lewis & Bockius LLP, New York, New York. Effective July 22, 1996, David
Lowenstein, co-founder of the Company, Executive Vice President and Director of
the Company, is reassuming the responsibility of Chief Financial Officer, the
position he held prior to the Offering. Additionally, Timothy J. Barker was
promoted to the position of Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer.

                                DIVIDEND POLICY
 
     The Company does not anticipate paying any cash dividends on its Common
Stock in the foreseeable future because it intends to retain its earnings, if
any, to finance the expansion of its business and for general corporate
purposes. Any payment of future dividends will be at the discretion of the Board
of Directors and will depend upon, among other things, the Company's earnings,
financial condition, capital requirements, level of indebtedness, contractual
restrictions with respect to the payment of dividends and other factors that the
Company's Board of Directors deems relevant. In addition, the Line of Credit
prohibits the payment of dividends without the lender's consent.

                            SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA
 
     F.Y.I. acquired, simultaneously with and as a condition to the closing of
the Offering, Imagent, Researchers, Recordex, DPAS, Leonard, Deliverex and
Permanent Records. The Acquisitions have been accounted for in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") as a combination of the
Founding Companies at historical cost, because the Founding Companies'
stockholders transferred assets to F.Y.I. in exchange for Common Stock and cash
simultaneously with the Offering, the nature of future operations of the Company
will be substantially identical to the combined operations of the Founding
Companies, and no former stockholder group of any of the Founding Companies
obtained a majority of the outstanding voting shares of the Company.
Accordingly, historical financial statements of these Founding Companies have
been combined throughout all relevant periods herein as if the Founding
Companies had always been members of the same operating group. However, since
the Founding Companies were not under common control or management, historical
combined results may not be comparable to, or indicative of, future performance.
 
     The Selected Financial Data for the years ended December 31, 1993, 1994 and
1995 have been derived from the Combined Financial Statements of the Founding
Companies that have been audited by Arthur Andersen LLP and that appear
elsewhere in this Prospectus. In their report, Arthur Andersen LLP states that
with respect to Recordex Services, Inc., as of and for the two years in the
period ended December 31, 1994, its opinion is based on the report of other
independent public accountants, namely Elko, Fischer, McCabe & Rudman, Ltd. The
Selected Financial Data for the years ended December 31, 1991 (unaudited) and
1992 (audited) have been derived from financial statements not included
elsewhere in this Prospectus. The unaudited financial statements have been
prepared on the same basis as the audited financial statements and, in the
opinion of management, contain all adjustments and reclassifications necessary
for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for
the periods presented. The pro forma balance sheet data as of March 31, 1996
gives effect to the New Acquisitions as if they had occurred on March 31, 1996.
The pro forma statement of operations data gives effect to the Acquisitions of
the Founding Companies for periods prior to February 1, 1996, and effect to the
New Acquisitions as if the transactions were consummated as of January 1, 1995.
See the unaudited pro forma financial statements and the related notes thereto
included elsewhere in this Prospectus. The Founding Company pro forma statement
of operations data gives effect to certain compensation adjustments for key
executives who entered into employment agreements with the Company and certain
tax adjustments related to the taxation of certain Founding Companies as S
corporations or sole proprietorships prior to the consummation of the
Acquisitions and the tax impact of the compensation adjustments. See Note 3 of
Notes to Combined Financial Statements of the Founding Companies. In addition,
the pro forma information is based on available information and certain
assumptions described in the footnotes set forth below, all of which the Company
believes are reasonable. The pro forma information is provided for informational
purposes only and does not purport to present the results of operations of the
Company had the transactions assumed therein occurred on or as of the dates
indicated, nor is it necessarily indicative of the results of operations which
may be achieved in the future.
 
     The Selected Individual Founding Company Financial Data for the years ended
December 31, 1993, 1994 and 1995 have been derived from the audited financial
statements of the Founding Companies that appear elsewhere in this Prospectus.
The Selected Individual Founding Company Financial Data for the year ended
December 31, 1992 have been derived from audited financial statements not
included elsewhere in this Prospectus.
 
     The Selected Financial Data provided below should be read in conjunction
with the historical financial statements of F.Y.I., the Combined Financial
Statements of the Founding Companies and the financial statements of each
Founding Company, including the related notes thereto, and "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" that
appear elsewhere in this Prospectus.

               MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                      CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
     The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Combined
Financial Statements of the Company and related notes thereto and "Selected
Financial Data" appearing elsewhere in this Prospectus.
 
INTRODUCTION
 
     The Company's revenue is classified as service revenue, product revenue and
other revenue. Service revenue relates to: (i) micrographic services; (ii)
electronic imaging; (iii) active document storage; (iv) archival storage of
inactive documents; (v) information and database management; (vi) litigation
support; (vii) medical records release services; and (viii) remittance
processing. Product revenue represents sales of Eastman Kodak micrographic and
business imaging supplies, primarily in conjunction with film processing and
other micrographic services. Other revenue consists of commissions on the sales
of imaging systems and equipment and franchising fees.
 
     Cost of services consists primarily of salaries and benefits, equipment
costs, supplies and occupancy costs and also includes the costs associated with
other revenue discussed above. Cost of products sold relates to micrographic and
business imaging supplies.
 
     Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") for periods prior to
February 1, 1996 reflect compensation and related benefits that former owners
and certain key employees received from their respective businesses. The
Founding Companies were managed throughout the periods presented as independent
private companies, and, as such, their results of operations reflect a variety
of tax structures (S corporation, C corporation and sole proprietorship) which
influenced, among other things, their historical levels of compensation. These
former owners and key employees agreed to certain reductions in salaries and
benefits in connection with the organization of the Company and the Offering.
The differential between the previous compensation of these individuals and the
compensation they agreed to receive subsequent to the Offering is referred to as
"Compensation Differential." See "Management -- Employment Agreements;
Covenants-Not-To-Compete." The Company has preliminarily analyzed the savings
that it expects to be realized by consolidating certain general and
administrative functions, including reductions in accounting, audit, insurance
and benefit plan expenses. In addition, the Company anticipates that it will
realize benefits from: (i) the reduction in interest payments related to the
prepayment of outstanding Founding Company debt; (ii) its ability to borrow at
lower interest rates than the Founding Companies; and (iii) the interest earned
on the net proceeds of the Offering. The Company has not and cannot quantify
these savings at the present time. It is anticipated that these savings will be
offset by the costs of being a public company and the incremental increase in
costs related to the Company's new management. However, these costs, like the
savings that they offset, cannot be quantified accurately. Accordingly, neither
the anticipated savings nor the anticipated costs have been included in the
Founding Company combined financial information included herein for the periods
prior to February 1, 1996.
 
     The Company conducted no significant operations until the closing of the
Offering and the Acquisitions on January 23, 1996. The Company seeks to acquire
additional companies to create a national single-source provider of document
management services.
 
     Since the Offering, the Company has acquired seven additional companies
which provide document management services and are headquartered in Washington,
D.C., Baltimore, San Jose, Sacramento and Seattle.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
     Except as otherwise noted, the following table sets forth various items as
a percentage of revenues for the three years ended December 31, 1995 on a
historical basis, as well as adjusted for the Compensation Differential. The
results prior to February 1, 1996 of the combined companies presented in this
table and the results discussed below occurred when the Operating Companies were
not under common control or management and may not be comparable to, or
indicative of, future performance. See "Risk Factors -- Absence of Combined
Operating History; Risks of Integration."

     The Company conducted no significant operations from its inception through
the Offering and the Acquisitions. For accounting purposes and the presentation
of the actual financial results herein, January 31, 1996 has been used as the
effective date of the Acquisitions. The Company incurred various legal,
accounting, marketing and travel costs in connection with the Offering and the
Acquisitions, which were funded by issuance of Common Stock and Preferred Stock.
Additional costs associated with the Offering and the Acquisitions were repaid
with proceeds of the Offering.
 
     Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 1996, was $8.4 million, and
gross profit for the three months was $2.8 million. Operating income was $0.5
million, and net income was $0.4 million. As previously mentioned, the Company
had no operations until February 1996. For further discussion of pro forma
operations for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, see the "Results

</TABLE>
 
     The $443,000 or 4% increase in revenue is attributable to a 9% increase in
service revenue of $894,000. The increase in service revenue is offset by a
$415,000 or 24% decrease in product revenue, and a $36,000 or 22% decrease in
other revenue.
 
     The increase in service revenue was largely due to: (i) an increase in
scanning and microfilming revenue of approximately $225,000 primarily due to an
overall increase in projects; (ii) an increase in medical records release
revenue of $474,000 primarily attributable to the expansion into additional
healthcare institutions in the U.S. during 1995 and 1996; and (iii) an increase
in records storage and retrieval revenue of $100,000
 
                                       21
<PAGE>   22
 
attributable to an increase in volume in 1996. The decrease in product revenue
resulted from a decline in one major customer's film purchases caused by
business interruption at that customer. This decline is not expected to be
permanent, as the interruption was attributable to the federal government
shutdown in late 1995.
 
     Costs and expenses increased $582,000 or 6% largely due to: (i) an increase
in cost of services of approximately $586,000 or 9% primarily attributable to
the increases in service revenue; (ii) cost of products decreased $396,000 as a
result of the reduction in film purchases by one major customer; and (iii) an
increase in SG&A of approximately $407,000, primarily due to the establishment
of corporate overhead required to execute the acquisition program and to manage
the consolidated group of companies.
 
     The decrease in earnings before taxes of $139,000 to $1,208,000 and
decrease in net income of $135,000 to $725,000 was largely attributable to the
factors discussed above. Net income prior to the incremental corporate SG&A were
$969,000, up 13% from the first quarter of 1995.
 
Results of Operations -- Founding Companies Combined
 
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1994
 
Revenue
 
     Total revenue. Total revenue increased 10.7% from $43.0 million for the
year ended December 31, 1994 to $47.6 million for the year ended December 31,
1995. This increase was comprised of a 12.6% increase in service revenue, a 3.6%
increase in product revenue and a 15.1% decrease in other revenue.
 
     Service revenue. Service revenue increased $4.5 million from $36.1 million
for the year ended December 31, 1994 to $40.6 million for the year ended
December 31, 1995. This increase was largely due to: (i) an increase in
Imagent's revenue of $1.4 million, primarily attributable to opening a microfilm
processing laboratory in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in December, 1994, the
revenue of which represented approximately 56% of the increase in Imagent's
revenue and to an overall increase in scanning and microfilming projects; (ii)
an increase in Leonard's revenue of $851,000 attributable to the addition of two
new storage contracts in 1994; to the opening of new records storage and
retrieval facilities in Toledo, Ohio in April 1994 and in Ann Arbor, Michigan in
January 1995, which new facilities had revenues constituting 25.3% of the
increase and due to increased paper prices received in the first half of 1995
for sales of scrap paper in the data disintegration area; and (iii) an increase
in Recordex's revenue of $1.7 million and in Permanent's revenue of $414,000
primarily attributable to the expansion of medical records release services into
38 additional healthcare institutions in the Eastern U.S. and Texas since
December 1994.
 
     Product revenue. Product revenue increased approximately $215,000 from $5.9
million for the year ended December 31, 1994 to $6.1 million for the year ended
December 31, 1995. This resulted from obtaining a large contract to supply
micrographics products in March 1994 and an overall increase in film processing
due to the opening of two new processing labs.
 
     Other revenue. Other revenue decreased approximately $155,000 from
$1,028,000 for the year ended December 31, 1994 to $873,000 for the year ended
December 31, 1995. This decrease was primarily attributable to Imagent selling
lower volumes of imaging systems and equipment.
 
Costs and Expenses
 
     Cost of services. Cost of services increased 9.7% from $23.6 million for
the year ended December 31, 1994 to $25.9 million for the year ended December
31, 1995. Cost of services as a percentage of service and other revenue was
63.7% for the year ended December 31, 1994 and 62.5% for the year ended December
31, 1995. Combined cost of services as a percentage of revenue decreased 1.2%,
as a result of fluctuations in several service areas: (i) Researchers' cost of
services increased $631,000, and as a percentage of revenue increased from 63.3%
to 70.3%, as it benefited from several large litigation projects in the first
half of 1994 and was
 
                                       22
<PAGE>   23
 
negatively impacted in the year ended December 1995 by expenses incurred in
connection with the expansion of its imaging business and the addition of
personnel and increased rental expense associated with the expansion of its San
Francisco facility; (ii) Leonard's cost of services increased $1,000, but as a
percentage of revenue decreased from 62.6% to 53.5% primarily as a result of
increased revenue and operating leverage in 1995 associated with the addition of
two storage contacts in 1994 and expenses incurred in 1994 in connection
with the opening of new document storage and retrieval facilities in Toledo,
Ohio and Farmington Hills, Michigan; (iii) Deliverex's cost of services
decreased $41,000, and as a percentage of revenue decreased from 64.6% to 57.3%
as a result of price increases and certain cost reduction programs; and (iv)
DPAS's cost of services decreased $414,000, and as a percentage of revenue
decreased from 74.5% to 66.3% primarily as a result of a cost reduction program
implemented in April 1995.
 
     Cost of products sold. Cost of products sold increased 1.6% from $4.9
million for the year ended December 31, 1994 to $5.0 million for the year ended
December 31, 1995. Cost of products sold as a percentage of product revenue
decreased from 82.6% to 81.0% for the year ended December 31, 1994 and 1995,
respectively. This decrease was a result of reduced cost of goods sold
attributable to Eastman Kodak, the supplier implementing additional value added
rebates on selected products.
 
Depreciation
 
     Depreciation increased 17.3% from $1.1 million for the year ended December
31, 1994 to $1.2 million for the year ended December 31, 1995. This increase is
primarily associated with machinery and equipment purchased for the expansions
at Leonard and Recordex discussed above.
 
Gross Profit
 
     As a result of the foregoing, gross profit increased 15.2% from $13.4
million, or 31.2% of total revenue, for the year ended December 31, 1994 to
$15.5 million, or 32.5% of total revenue, for the year ended December 31, 1995.
 
Selling, general and administrative expenses
 
     SG&A increased 5.5% from $11.8 million, or 27.5% of revenues, for the year
ended December 31, 1994 to $12.5 million, or 26.2% of revenues, for the year
ended December 31, 1995. After giving effect to the Compensation Differential in
each year, SG&A increased from $10.0 million, or 23.2% of revenues, for the year
ended December 31, 1994 to $10.5 million, or 22.1% of revenues, for the year
ended December 31, 1995. Although combined SG&A expenses adjusted for the
Compensation Differential as a percentage of total revenue decreased 1.1% there
were fluctuations in several service areas: (i) Leonard's adjusted SG&A as a
percentage of revenues decreased from 30.3% to 25.3% primarily as a result of
the two storage contracts described above which provided revenues without
proportional increases in overhead; (ii) DPAS' adjusted SG&A as a percentage of
revenues decreased from 24.9% to 23.2% primarily as a result of a cost reduction
program implemented in April 1995; and (iii) Recordex's SG&A as a percentage of
revenues decreased from 33.1% to 31.8% primarily as a result of increased
revenues related to its expansion of medical records release services into
additional healthcare institutions without a commensurate increase in overhead.
 
Pro forma operating income
 
     Pro forma operating income adjusted for the Compensation Differential
increased 43.8% from $3.5 million, or 8.0% of total revenue, for the year ended
December 31, 1994 to $5.0 million, or 10.4% of total revenue, for the year ended
December 31, 1995.
 
Interest expense, net
 
     Interest expense, net of interest income increased 16.1% from $304,000 for
the year ended December 31, 1994 to $353,000 for the same period in 1995. This
is primarily due to increased borrowings in April through
 
                                       23
<PAGE>   24
 
December, for the purchase of equipment associated with Leonard's opening of new
document storage facilities.
 
Provision for income taxes
 
     The combined provision for income taxes and pro forma provision for income
taxes increased 42.8% from $1.3 million, or an effective tax rate of 36.7%, for
the year ended December 31, 1994 to $1.8 million, or an effective tax rate of
37.2%, for the year ended December 31, 1995. The Founding Companies were
operated as separate entities for tax purposes for all periods presented.
 
Pro forma net income
 
     Pro forma net income adjusted for the Compensation Differential and pro
forma provision for income taxes increased 39.8% from $2.2 million, or 5.0% of
total revenue, for the year ended December 31, 1994 to $3.0 million, or 6.4% of
total revenue, for the year ended December 31, 1995.
 
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1994 COMPARED TO THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1993
 
Revenue
 
     Total revenue.  Total revenue increased 12.1% from $38.4 million in 1993 to
$43.0 million in 1994. This increase was comprised of a 12.5% increase in
service revenue, a 15.6% increase in product revenue and a 14.8% decrease in
other revenue.
 
     Service revenue.  Service revenue increased $4.0 million from $32.1 million
in 1993 to $36.1 million in 1994. This increase was largely due to: (i) an
increase in Imagent's revenue of $1.3 million primarily attributable to an
overall increase in scanning and microfilming projects, the opening of microfilm
processing laboratories in Roanoke, Virginia in April 1993 and in Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania in December 1994, the revenue of which constituted approximately
16% of the increase in Imagent's revenue and the purchase of a microfilm
processing business in October 1994, the revenue of which represented
approximately 7% of the increase in Imagent's revenue; (ii) an increase in
Researchers' revenue of $1.2 million primarily attributable to performing
services related to several large litigation projects that commenced in 1993;
(iii) an increase in Recordex's revenue of $1.4 million primarily attributable
to the expansion of medical records release services into an additional 30
healthcare institutions in the eastern U.S. during 1994; and (iv) an increase in
Leonard's revenue of $635,000 primarily attributable to opening of new document
storage facilities in Farmington Hills, Michigan and Toledo, Ohio, the revenue
of which represented approximately 35% of the increase in Leonard's revenue and
securing two new document storage and retrieval contracts during 1994. This
increase was partially offset by a decrease in DPAS' revenue of $468,000
primarily due to the loss of three inventory compilation projects in 1993 and
1994.
 
     Product revenue.  Product revenue increased approximately $800,000 from
$5.1 million in 1993 to $5.9 million in 1994. This increase resulted primarily
from Imagent's obtaining a large contract to supply micrographics products in
March 1994 and an increase in film sales made in conjunction with increased film
processing services at Imagent's new laboratory.
 
     Other revenue.  Other revenue decreased approximately $178,000 from $1.2
million in 1993 to $1.0 million in 1994. This decrease was primarily related to
a decrease in commissions on the sale of micrographics equipment by Imagent.
 
Costs and expenses
 
     Cost of services.  Cost of services increased 16.4% from $20.3 million in
1993 to $23.6 million in 1994. Cost of services as a percentage of service and
other revenue was 61.1% in 1993 and 63.7% in 1994. This increase in cost of
services as a percentage of service and other revenue was primarily attributable
to: (i) an increase in Imagent's cost of services of $816,000, and as a
percentage of revenue from 56.1% to 59.4%, due to costs related to the start-up
of the microfilm processing laboratory in Philadelphia and increased price
competition in one geographic area which began in late 1993; (ii) an increase in
Leonard's cost of services of $740,000, and as a percentage of revenue from
54.8% to 62.6%, related to its expansion into additional storage
 
                                       24
<PAGE>   25
 
facilities in late 1993 and 1994; (iii) an increase in DPAS' cost of services of
$27,000, and as a percentage of revenue from 68.9% to 74.5% due to the loss of
three inventory compilation projects in late 1993 and 1994; and (iv) an increase
in Recordex's cost of services of $1.1 million, and as a percentage of revenue
from 56.3% to 61.0%, related to its expansion into an additional 30 healthcare
institutions in the eastern U.S. during 1994. These increases as a percentage of
revenue were partially offset by a reduction in Researchers' cost of services,
which increased $661,000, but decreased as a percentage of revenue from 64.7% to
63.3% primarily as a result of increased revenue and enhanced operating leverage
associated with several large litigation projects in 1994.
 
     Cost of products sold.  Cost of products sold increased 9.6% from $4.5
million in 1993 to $4.9 million in 1994. Cost of products sold as a percentage
of product revenue decreased from 87.1% in 1993 to 82.6% in 1994. This decrease
resulted from Imagent's receiving additional value added rebates and better
pricing on selected products.
 
Depreciation
 
     Depreciation increased 19.5% from $883,000 in 1993 to $1.1 million in 1994.
This increase was primarily associated with machinery and equipment purchased
for the expansions discussed above.
 
Gross profit
 
     As a result of the foregoing, gross profit increased 5.5% from $12.7
million, or 33.2% of total revenue, for 1993 to $13.4 million, or 31.2% of total
revenue, for 1994.
 
Selling, general and administrative
 
     SG&A increased 7.2% from $11.0 million in 1993 to $11.8 million in 1994.
After giving effect to the Compensation Differential in each year, SG&A
increased from $9.3 million, or 24.3% of revenue, in 1993 to $10.0 million, or
23.2% of revenue, in 1994. This decrease in SG&A as a percentage of revenues is
primarily related to an increase in Recordex's revenue related to its expansion
of medical records release services into additional healthcare institutions
without a commensurate increase in overhead. In addition, Researchers, Imagent
and Leonard all experienced slightly enhanced operating efficiencies in 1994.
 
Pro forma operating income
 
     Pro forma operating income adjusted for the Compensation Differential
increased 1.6% from $3.4 million, or 8.9% of total revenue, for 1993 to $3.5
million, or 8.0% of total revenue, for 1994.
 
Interest expense, net
 
     Interest expense, net of interest income, increased slightly from $299,000
for 1993 to $304,000 for 1994.
 
Provision for income taxes
 
     The combined provision for income taxes and pro forma provision for income
taxes remained constant at $1.3 million, with an effective tax rate of 40.0% for
1993 and an effective tax rate of 36.7% for 1994. The Founding Companies were
operated as separate entities for tax purposes for all periods presented. See
Note 11 of Notes to Combined Financial Statements of the Founding Companies for
a more detailed analysis of the provision for income taxes.
 
Pro forma net income
 
     Pro forma net income adjusted for the Compensation Differential and pro
forma provision for taxes increased 14.7% from $1.9 million, or 4.9% of total
revenue, for 1993 to $2.2 million, or 5.0% of total revenue, for 1994.
 
Certain balance sheet changes
 
     Accounts and notes receivable, less allowance for doubtful accounts and
notes increased from December 31, 1993 to December 31, 1994 primarily as a
result of an overall increase in revenues. Accounts receivable, officer and
employee, increased primarily as a result of advances to Researchers'
controlling stockholder. These advances were settled at Researchers fiscal year
end of July 31. Intangible assets, net of accumulated amortization increased
primarily due to the purchase by Imagent of a microfilm processing
 
                                       25
<PAGE>   26
 
business. The intangible assets associated with this purchase represented a
customer list and a covenant not to compete. Property and equipment, net,
accounts payable and accrued liabilities and debt all increased primarily as a
result of facility expansions.
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
     Net cash provided by operating activities was $4.1 million, $2.0 million
and $2.3 million, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and
1993. Net cash provided by operating activities for the year ended December 31,
1995 was primarily impacted by: (i) an increase in net income; (ii) an increase
in revenue without a corresponding increase in accounts receivable; (iii) the
settlement of a significant portion of Researchers' stockholder receivable; and
(iv) a decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. Net cash provided
by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 1994 was impacted by
increased revenue and increases in accounts receivable, accounts payable and
accrued liabilities associated with facility expansions and was also impacted by
an increase in Researchers' stockholder receivable. Cash used in investing
activities was $1.3 million, $2.0 million and $1.1 million, respectively, for
the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993. Cash used in investing
activities for the year ended December 31, 1995 and for the year ended December
31, 1994 was primarily used for purchases of property, plant and equipment
associated with facility expansions, and was also impacted in 1994 by the
purchase by Imagent of a microfilm processing business and the associated
intangible assets. Cash used in investing activities for 1993 was primarily used
for purchases of property, plant and equipment associated with facility
expansions. Cash used for financing activities was $2.1 million, $124,000 and
$1.2 million, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and
1993. Cash used for financing activities for the year ended December 31, 1995,
consisted primarily of net payments on debt and payments of dividends. Cash used
for financing activities for the year ended December 31, 1994, consisted
primarily of payments of dividends offset by net proceeds from debt associated
with facility expansions. Cash used for financing activities for 1993 included
net payments on debt, advances to Recordex's parent company and payments of
dividends. As a result of the foregoing, cash and cash equivalents increased by
$686,000 for the year ended December 31, 1995, decreased by $86,000 in 1994 and
decreased by $79,000 in 1993.
 
     In January 1996, the Company consummated the Offering and received net
proceeds of $24.6 million.
 
     As of March 31, 1996, the Company had $11.9 million of working capital and
$10.0 million of cash. The Company paid off substantially all of its debt with
the proceeds of the Offering with the exception of approximately $415,000 of
debt with favorable interest rates and capital lease obligations of
approximately $425,000.
 
     Subsequent to March 31, 1996, the Company negotiated a $35.0 million Line
of Credit (see Note 4 in the Notes to F.Y.I. Incorporated's Financial Statements
located elsewhere in this Prospectus).
 
     The Company anticipates that cash from operations, and additional bank
financing available under the Line of Credit will be sufficient to meet the
Company's liquidity requirements for its operations through the end of fiscal
1996. The availability under the Line of Credit is approximately $3.0 million
for working capital and general corporate purposes and $21.8 million for
acquisitions. The Company expects that the amounts available under the Line of
Credit will be used in its acquisition program. However, the Company expects
that additional funds may be required in the future to successfully continue the
acquisition program. See "Risk Factors -- Need for Additional Financing to
Implement Acquisition Strategy."
 
     The consideration paid for the seven businesses recently acquired by the
Company consisted of a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock. See
"Business -- Subsequent Acquisitions."
 
FLUCTUATIONS IN QUARTERLY RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
     Revenues from the Company's services show no significant seasonal
variations. However, service revenue can vary from period to period due to the
impact of specific projects, primarily in the litigation support area. Quarterly
results may also vary as a result of the timing of acquisitions and the timing
and magnitude of costs related to such acquisitions. In addition, because the
anticipated financial benefits of the combination of the Operating Companies may
not be generated immediately, the Company's initial results as a combined
company may reflect corporate overhead that exceeds the realized benefits.

                                    BUSINESS
 
     F.Y.I. Incorporated was founded in September 1994 to create a national,
single-source provider of document management services to three primary client
segments: healthcare institutions, professional services firms and financial
institutions. Prior to the Offering, F.Y.I. did not conduct any operations.
F.Y.I. has acquired, simultaneously with the consummation of the Offering, the
seven Founding Companies. The Founding Companies, which have been in business an
average of 22 years, are headquartered in San Francisco (2), San Jose, Fort
Worth, Detroit, Malvern (Philadelphia) and Baltimore, and operate in 23 states.
Since the Offering, the Company has acquired seven additional document
management services businesses headquartered in Washington, D.C., Baltimore, San
Jose, Sacramento and Seattle. See "The Company." The Company, inclusive of the
New Acquisitions, had pro forma 1995 revenue of approximately $70.7 million and
pro forma 1995 annual net income of approximately $4.7 million. The Company
operates with a decentralized management strategy rather than a standardized
national model in order to provide superior customer service and retain the
historical customers of acquired businesses while achieving the operating
efficiencies of a large organization. This strategy also emphasizes the
retention of local management, which the Company believes makes it an attractive
acquiror of other document management services companies.
 
     The Company's three primary client segments are highly document-intensive.
For a variety of regulatory, client service and other reasons, the documents of
the Company's clients must be maintained, accessed and managed for extensive
periods of time, often under strict guidelines and specifications. While the
document management requirements of each target client segment are relatively
unique and require a specialized understanding of that segment, the Company
offers certain common document management services that are transferable across
its targeted client segments. These services, which are offered by one or more
of the Operating Companies, include: (i) micrographic services, including
microfilm and microfiche production and processing; (ii) electronic imaging
services, including the conversion of documents into digitized media using
sophisticated computer technology; (iii) active storage and maintenance of
documents and files; (iv) archival storage of inactive documents; and (v)
information and database management services. In addition, in order to better
fulfill the document management needs of targeted client segments, certain
Operating Companies also offer industry specific services such as litigation
support, including subpoena, authorization, photocopying and service of process
services, medical records release services and remittance processing. The
Company also derives revenue from the sale of certain micrographic and business
imaging products.
 
     Historically, the document management services industry has been highly
fragmented, consisting primarily of small local or regional businesses that
limit their operations to a narrow range of offered services or provide services
only to selected client segments. The Company believes that significant
opportunities are available to a business that can consolidate the capabilities
and resources of a number of existing document management services businesses.
In order to effect such a consolidation, the Company has implemented an
aggressive acquisition program designed to expand its range of offered services
and acquire additional market share in each of its targeted geographic markets.
 
                                       27
<PAGE>   28
 
     The Company believes that each of its targeted geographic markets can
support the following range of services:
 
                                   [CHART]
 
     The Company believes that the consolidation of document management services
businesses will provide it with a significant competitive advantage over
existing smaller businesses. In addition to economies of scale, the Company
expects to benefit from enhanced operating efficiencies and significant
cross-selling opportunities. As the Company gains critical mass in certain
geographic markets, it expects to be able to capitalize on its existing client
relationships and technical expertise to: (i) vertically integrate by expanding
the services offered to each of its client segments; and (ii) horizontally
integrate by offering certain transferable services to a larger overall customer
base.
 
OVERVIEW
 
     An estimated four trillion documents are generated annually in the United
States. A significant portion of the storage, processing and management of these
documents is outsourced to document management services businesses such as the
Operating Companies. Further, the Company believes that the document management
services market is growing due to several factors including: (i) government
regulations that require lengthy document retention periods and rapid
accessibility for many types of records; (ii) increased customer expectations of
low cost access to records on short notice and, in many instances, at disparate
locations; (iii) the increasing litigiousness of society, necessitating access
to relevant documents and records for extended periods; and (iv) continuing
advancements in computer, networking, facsimile, printing and other technologies
which have greatly facilitated the production and wide distribution of
documents.
 
     The Company's three targeted client segments, healthcare institutions,
professional services firms and financial institutions, generate large volumes
of documents and require efficient processing, distribution, storage and
retrieval of these documents and the information they contain. The Company
believes that these client segments have increased and will continue to increase
their outsourcing of document management services in order to: (i) maintain a
focus on core operating competencies and revenue generating activities; (ii)
reduce fixed costs, including labor and equipment costs; and (iii) gain access
to new technologies without incurring the expense and risk of near-term
obsolescence of such technologies.
 
     The document management services business is highly fragmented. The Company
believes that many small document management services businesses: (i) have
insufficient capital for expansion; (ii) cannot keep abreast of rapidly changing
technologies; (iii) lack effective marketing programs; and (iv) are unable to
meet
 
                                       28
<PAGE>   29
 
the needs of large, geographically dispersed clients. In addition, there are a
limited number of options for owners of such businesses to obtain liquidity or
to sell their businesses. As result, the Company believes that many owners of
such businesses will be receptive to a consolidation strategy.
 
BUSINESS STRATEGY
 
     The Company's goal is to become a national, single-source provider of
document management services for its three primary target client segments:
healthcare institutions, professional services firms and financial institutions.
In order to achieve this goal, the Company intends to implement a focused
business strategy based on the following key principles:
 
     Establish Full Service Operations in Multiple Metropolitan Areas.  The
Company intends to establish full service document management operations in
targeted metropolitan areas, including the areas serviced by the Operating
Companies, through selected acquisitions and expansion of existing businesses.
Ultimately, the Company will seek to achieve a national scope of coverage so
that it can implement a national sales and service policy.
 
     Capitalize on Cross-Selling Opportunities.  The Company intends to
cross-sell in two primary ways. First, the Company intends to leverage its
existing client relationships by selling such clients additional document
management services provided by the Company's other businesses. Second, the
Company intends to leverage its existing knowledge with respect to industry
transferable services by marketing such services across client segment lines.
 
     Achieve Cost Savings Through Economies of Scale.  The Company believes that
it will be able to achieve significant economies of scale by combining a number
of general and administrative functions at the corporate level and by reducing
or eliminating redundant functions and facilities. For example, the Company has
implemented a Company-wide insurance plan and intends to implement Company-wide
employee benefits programs and to purchase certain items, such as paper,
microfilm and storage racks, on a combined basis. To the extent that the Company
is able to expand through the acquisition of additional document management
businesses, the Company believes that such cost savings will continue to accrue.
 
     Operate With a Decentralized Management Strategy.  The Company believes
that the experienced local management teams that exist at the Operating
Companies have a valuable understanding of their respective markets and
businesses and have existing client relationships upon which they may
capitalize. Accordingly, the Company intends to operate with a decentralized
management strategy. Local management will remain empowered to make most of the
day-to-day operating decisions at each location and will be primarily
responsible for the profitability and growth of that location. Although the
Company intends to have local management operate with a high degree of autonomy,
the Company believes that regular communication between the individual
businesses and the Company's executive management team will be integral to
realizing the benefits afforded by the consolidation of these businesses into a
single company.
 
ACQUISITION PROGRAM
 
     The Company believes that there are significant opportunities to
consolidate the capabilities and resources of a number of existing document
management services businesses. In order to effect this consolidation, the
Company has implemented an aggressive acquisition program in order to enter
additional targeted markets, acquire additional service capabilities within such
markets and gain market share. The Company intends to employ a three-tiered
acquisition program.
 
     Initially, to enter a targeted geographic market, the Company intends to
make "beachhead" acquisitions of leading document management services companies
with strong market positions. In analyzing beachhead acquisition candidates, the
Company will focus on acquiring businesses that have: (i) experienced and high
quality management; (ii) multiple locations, preferably with operations in two
to three contiguous markets; (iii) a strong customer franchise; and (iv) a
history of profitability.
 
     The second tier of the Company's acquisition program involves the
acquisition of related document management services companies that will increase
the Company's offered services in a particular region. In
 
                                       29
<PAGE>   30
 
making such acquisitions, the Company will assess the services required by the
specific market's customer base and then seek to acquire leading providers of
such services within that geographic area. As with beachhead acquisitions, the
Company will seek profitable businesses with strong management teams.
 
     Finally, in order to increase its market share and realize economies of
scale, the third tier of the Company's acquisition program will be the
acquisition of smaller "tuck-in" businesses which can be easily assimilated into
the operations of the Company's existing businesses. Such tuck-in businesses are
intended to enable the Company to benefit from the operating leverage of its
existing businesses by acquiring additional market share and revenue while
eliminating or reducing certain general, administrative and operating costs
previously associated with such revenue. Accordingly, the main selection
criteria for such tuck-in businesses will be strong customer relationships.
 
     The Company believes that it will be an attractive acquiror of other
document management services companies due to: (i) the benefits afforded by an
association with a full service national company, including an enhanced ability
to compete in the local market through an expansion of offered products and
services and increased access to new technologies; (ii) the potential for
increased profitability as a result of the Company's centralization of certain
administrative functions and certain economies of scale; (iii) the Company's
financial strength and visibility as a public company; and (iv) the Company's
decentralized management strategy which will, in many cases, enable existing
local management to remain involved in the operations of acquired companies.
Nevertheless, there are numerous risks associated with the Company's intended
acquisition program. See "Risk Factors -- Acquisition Strategy" and "-- Need for
Additional Financing to Implement Acquisition Strategy."
 
     Since its inception in September 1994, F.Y.I. has gathered and assembled
data with respect to numerous document management services businesses and
believes it is well positioned to commence and continue its acquisition program.
The Company's acquisition program is led by Thomas C. Walker, Chairman of the
Board and Chief Development Officer of the Company, and David Lowenstein,
Executive Vice President -- Corporate Development and Acquisitions, each of whom
has extensive experience in acquiring businesses.
 
     As consideration for acquisitions, the Company intends to use various
combinations of Common Stock, cash and notes, including the shares of Common
Stock being offered hereby.
 
SERVICES OFFERED BY THE OPERATING COMPANIES
 
     The Company provides a wide variety of document management services and
draws upon its available services to develop document management solutions for
its clients based on their specific needs. The current document management
services that are provided in certain geographic locations through one or more
of the Operating Companies include:
 
Transferable Services
 
     Micrographics.  Micrographics services involve: (i) the conversion of paper
documents into microfilm images; (ii) film processing; and (iii) computer-based
indexing and formatting. Typically, micrographic services are selected: (i) as a
cost-competitive technology to reduce the physical size of stored records; (ii)
for their long term (over 100 years) archival capabilities; and (iii) as an
intermediate step in certain imaging or reprographic applications. Imagent, B&B,
Researchers and Permanent Records currently provide micrographics services.
 
     Electronic Imaging.  Electronic imaging services involve the conversion of
paper or microfilm documents into digitized information through optical
scanners. Digitized information can be either stored as an image or converted to
code through optical character recognition (OCR) or digital imaging storage and
retrieval technologies. Conversion to code provides additional processing
capabilities such as manipulation of data. In both cases, the digitized
information can be stored on either a magnetic medium, such as a computer
diskette, or on optical laser disks, such as compact disks. Electronic imaging
is generally used because of the storage media's high speed of retrieval, its
multiple indexing and text search formatting capabilities, and its ability to be
used to distribute output to multiple locations. Electronic imaging services are
typically billed on a job-by-
 
                                       30

job basis, based on the number of images and complexity of the retrieval
applications. Imagent, B&B, Researchers and DPAS currently provide electronic
imaging services.
 
     Active or Open Shelf Storage.  Active or open shelf storage services
involve the storage, processing (i.e., indexing and formatting), retrieval,
delivery and return to storage of documents on a rapid time frame.
Representative uses for open shelf storage include active medical and legal case
files. In many instances, open shelf storage is offered as an outsourced file
room service, where documents are requested and retrieved frequently and, in
many cases, transmitted via facsimile due to the urgency of the request. Service
fees generally include a monthly fee based on activity levels and volumes
stored, with extra billing for specialized requests. Deliverex, Deliverex
Sacramento, Leonard and Permanent Records currently provide active or open shelf
storage.
 
     Archival Storage of Inactive Documents.  The archiving of inactive
documents involves storage for extended periods of time with a lesser emphasis
on service or accessibility to stored documents. Typical uses for archival
storage of inactive documents include storage of closed files for professional
services firms and documents that may be required by law to be maintained by
hospitals, other healthcare institutions and financial institutions for extended
periods. Service fees generally include billing for storage space, plus activity
charges for each retrieval, delivery and return to storage, and ultimately for
document destruction. Leonard and Permanent Records currently provide archival
storage of inactive documents.
 
     Database Services.  Database services involve data capture (manually or
through scanning or other electronic media), data consolidation and elimination,
storage, maintenance, formatting and report creation. In some cases, database
services include statistical analysis of data. DPAS, Imagent and B&B currently
provide database services.
 
Industry Specific Services
 
     Certain of the Founding Companies have developed industry specific services
in order to address the document management needs of their particular clients.
These industry specific services include:
 
     Litigation Support.  Litigation often involves the production (i.e.,
delivery to opposing counsel) and management of thousands of pages of documents,
extracted in their current working form from the offices and files of litigating
parties and their experts, advisors and legal counsel. Litigation support
services include managing the logistics of high volume document production,
microfilming and/or electronic imaging, document coding, computer indexing,
automated document retrieval, and high speed, multiple-set reproduction of
documents. Litigation support services are provided to law firms, corporate
legal departments and insurance companies. These clients typically look to
litigation support companies to augment their internal operations and
capabilities on an as-needed, job-by-job basis. Additional litigation support
services include subpoena, authorization, photocopying and service of process
services. Clients are generally billed on a per unit basis. Researchers, Cook,
Imagent and DPAS currently provide litigation support services.
 
     Medical Records Release Services.  Medical records release services involve
processing a request for a patient's medical records from a physician, insurance
company, attorney or other healthcare institution. The medical records release
service provider initially verifies that the release is properly authorized,
coordinates the retrieval of the record, determines the relevant parts of the
record to be copied, and delivers the copied records (or portions thereof) to
the requesting party. Medical records release services are provided on-site
pursuant to contracts with hospitals and other large healthcare institutions.
The medical records release service provider bills the recipient directly and
sometimes pays a fee to the hospital. Recordex, Premier and Permanent Records
currently provide medical records release services.
 
     Remittance Processing.  Remittance processing and order fulfillment
services involve the outsourcing of a client's receivables function, including
generating bills and statements, receiving and processing credit card payments,
encoding checks and depositing payments, and other mailing related activities.
DPAS and Imagent currently provide remittance processing services.

Business Imaging Products Sales
 
     Imagent has a five-year agreement with the Eastman Kodak Company which
expires on December 31, 1999 and grants Imagent the right to act as a
distributor of a wide range of Kodak microfilm and business imaging supplies in
Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia and Washington, D.C.
B&B is also in the business imaging product sales business.
 
SALES AND MARKETING
 
     The Company has a broad customer base, and none of the Company's customers
accounted for more than 8.0% of revenue for either the year ended December 31,
1994 or December 31, 1995. Historically, the Company's sales efforts have been
implemented on a location-by-location basis at each Operating Company. For most
of the Operating Companies, sales efforts are typically not coordinated through
separate sales personnel, but are part of the local management's
responsibilities. The Company believes that the existing local sales efforts can
be supplemented through the addition of local sales representatives. The Company
will strive to increase its client base by attracting customers away from small,
single business operators as a result of its ability to offer a broader range of
solutions for its clients' document management needs. In addition, the Company
will focus on increasing revenues from its existing clients by cross-selling its
services and broadening its product offerings. Once the Company gains critical
mass in a number of metropolitan areas, it hopes to augment local sales and
marketing efforts through the implementation of a national sales/account
program.
 
     The Company believes that its ability to attract and retain additional
clients will depend on its ability to offer the broad range of services
necessary to satisfy such clients' document management needs and maintain a high
level of customer satisfaction.
 
COMPETITION
 
     The document management services businesses in which the Company competes
and expects to compete are highly competitive. A significant source of
competition is the in-house document handling capability of the Company's target
client base. There can be no assurance that these businesses will outsource more
of their document management needs or that such businesses will not bring
in-house services that they currently outsource. In addition, certain of the
Company's competitors are larger businesses, many of which have greater
financial resources than the Company. Certain of these competitors operate in
broader geographic areas than the Company, and others may choose to enter the
Company's areas of operation in the future. In addition, the Company intends to
enter new geographic areas through internal growth and by acquiring existing
companies and expects to encounter significant competition from established
competitors in each of such new areas. As a result of this highly competitive
environment, the Company may lose customers or have difficulty in acquiring new
customers and its revenues and margins may be adversely affected.
 
     The Company believes that the principal competitive factors in document
management services include accuracy, reliability and security of service,
client segment specific knowledge and price. The Company competes primarily on
the basis of quality of service and client segment specific knowledge, and
believes that it competes favorably with respect to these factors.
 
ORGANIZATION
 
     Simultaneously with the closing of the Offering, F.Y.I. acquired seven
well-established document management services businesses. The aggregate
consideration paid by F.Y.I. to acquire the Founding Companies was approximately
$35 million, consisting of: (i) $7,059,000 in cash; (ii) 1,878,933 shares of
Common Stock; (iii) the assumption and repayment of approximately $191,000 of
indebtedness owed by a certain Founding Company stockholder; and (iv) the
distribution of cash and certain receivables to stockholders of Imagent and
Leonard, which are S corporations, in the amounts of $2,750,000 and $700,000,
respectively, representing the AAA accounts of these companies. In addition,
prior to the closing of the Acquisitions, certain Founding Companies made
distributions to their stockholders of certain assets and related liabilities,
including the increase in net equity subsequent to June 30, 1995 of each of the
Founding Companies, other than Recordex. Based on the relevant account balances
as of December 31, 1995, the amount of these distributions was $2,340,000. As
such, total transfers of selected assets to and assumption of
 
                                       32
<PAGE>   33
 
selected liabilities of certain stockholders of the Founding Companies was a net
amount of approximately $5,981,000 (of which $1,120,000 was distributed prior to
December 31, 1995). In addition, upon consummation of the Acquisitions, the
Company repaid approximately $3,349,000 of third party indebtedness assumed by
the Company in the Acquisitions, virtually all of which was guaranteed by
respective stockholders of the Founding Companies, and $584,000 of indebtedness
to such stockholders.
 
     The consideration paid for the Founding Companies was determined through
arm's-length negotiations among F.Y.I. and representatives of the Founding
Companies. The factors considered by the parties in determining the
consideration to be paid include, among others, the historical operating
results, the levels of indebtedness and the future prospects of the Founding
Companies.
 
     In connection with the Acquisitions, the stockholders of the Founding
Companies agreed not to compete with the Company for a period of five years
following the Acquisitions. In addition, each stockholder (other than Michael J.
Bradley) entered into a three-year employment agreement with the Company which
contains a two-year covenant-not-to-compete following termination of such
person's employment. The period of the covenants-not-to-compete will be
shortened to a period of one year following the termination of any such person
without cause. See "Management."

business owned by Mr. Melanson, and Mr. Melanson has an option to require F.Y.I.
to purchase such business at such time as its annual audited pre-tax profits
exceed $550,000. In either event, the consideration payable to Mr. Melanson will
consist of F.Y.I. Common Stock with a value equal to six times the amount of
such audited pre-tax profits.

SUBSEQUENT ACQUISITIONS
 
     Since the closing of the Offering, the Company has acquired seven
additional document management services businesses, including B&B, Premier and

(1)  Owned facility.
 
     The Company also operates on-site at over 155 client locations on a
contractual basis and from time to time at many other client locations for
specific projects.
 
     The aggregate lease or rental expense for the Company was approximately
$2.2 million during 1995. See Note 8 of Notes to Combined Financial Statements
of the Founding Companies for further information relating to these leases. In
March 1996, the Company occupied its new premises for its corporate headquarters
in Dallas, Texas, consisting of approximately 4,700 square feet.
 
     The Company believes that its properties are generally well maintained, in
good condition and adequate for its present needs. Furthermore, the Company
believes that suitable additional or replacement space will be available when
required.
 
     The Company owns or leases under both financial and capital leases
substantial computer, scanning and imaging equipment which it believes to be
adequate for its current needs. Additionally, the Company owns or leases
approximately 87 cars or trucks of various types.
 
LITIGATION
 
     The Company is, from time to time, a party to litigation arising in the
normal course of its business. Management believes that none of these actions
will have a material adverse effect on the financial condition or results of
operations of the Company.
 
     Recordex is one of several defendants in one federal and three state
lawsuits contesting the reasonableness of the fees charged for medical records
reproduction. The plaintiffs in these cases are seeking class certification. In
November 1994, the plaintiff's motion for class certification and all other
claims were denied in the federal lawsuit. The plaintiffs filed an appeal in
January 1995. On April 4, 1996, the Court of Appeals affirmed the decision in
favor of the Company on the substantive claims, but remanded the case to the
District Court for a hearing on the individual plaintiff's request for
injunctive relief. In February 1996, one of the remaining Pennsylvania lawsuits
was concluded favorably to the Company. While the outcome of the remaining

claims, and that there will not be a material adverse effect on the Company's
financial position or results of operations as a result thereof.
 
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
 
     The Company is subject to federal, state and local laws, regulations and
ordinances that: (i) govern activities or operations that may have adverse
environmental effects, such as discharges to air and water as well as handling
and disposal practices for solid and hazardous wastes; or (ii) impose liability
for the costs of cleaning up, and certain damages resulting from, sites of past
spills, disposal or other releases of solid wastes and hazardous substances.
 
     The Company is currently unaware of any environmental conditions relating
to present or past waste generation at or from these facilities that would be
likely to have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of results
of operations of the Company. However, there can be no assurance that
environmental liabilities in the future will not have a material adverse effect
on the financial condition or results of operations of the Company.

<PAGE>   41
 
January 1 through December 31, 1995, Messrs. Walker and Lowenstein had been paid
cash compensation from F.Y.I. of $150,000 and $130,000, respectively.
 
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS; COVENANTS-NOT-TO-COMPETE
 
     Mr. Bowman and Ms. Lebenberg entered into employment agreements with F.Y.I.
dated as of November 1995 and July 1996, respectively. Messrs. Walker and
Lowenstein entered into employment agreements with F.Y.I. in December 1994 and
February 1995, respectively. Messrs. Bellenghi, Melanson, Shaw and Leonard
entered into employment agreements with the Company which commenced on the date
of the Offering. Pursuant to such agreements, each of such persons receives an
annual base salary and is eligible for additional year-end bonus compensation.
Each employment agreement is for a term of three years and automatically renews
at the end of its initial term (and each succeeding term) for an additional one
year, unless terminated or not renewed by the Company or the employee.
 
     Each of the employment agreements provides that, in the event of a
termination of employment by the Company without cause, such employee shall be
entitled to receive from the Company such employee's then current salary for the
greater of one year (two years in the case of Messrs. Bowman, Walker, Lowenstein
and Lebenberg) or whatever period is remaining under the term of the agreement.
In the event of a change in control of the Company, if the employee has not
received notice 15 days prior to the event resulting in such change of control
that such employee's employment will be continued by the successor to the
Company, it shall be deemed a termination without cause, except that the amount
of the lump-sum payment to be made to such employee shall be triple the amount
ordinarily due upon a termination without cause. In addition, in the event of a
change in control of the Company, each employee may elect to terminate his
employment agreement and receive 150% of the amount ordinarily due upon a
termination without cause.
 
     Each employment agreement contains a covenant-not-to-compete with the
Company for a period of two years following termination of employment, provided
that: (i) in the event of a termination of employment by the Company without
cause, the term of the covenant-not-to-compete contained in the employment
agreement will be shortened to one year; and (ii) in the event of a change in
control of the Company wherein the employee does not receive notice 15 days
prior to the event resulting in such change of control of the continuation of
such employee's employment, the covenant-not-to-compete shall not apply. If
applicable law reduces the time period during which the employee is prohibited
from competing with the Company, the covenant-not-to-compete shall be reduced to
the maximum period permitted by law.
 
STOCK OPTION PLAN
 
     In October 1995, the Board of Directors and F.Y.I.'s stockholders approved
the Company's 1995 Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") which became effective on the
date of the Offering. The purpose of the Plan is to provide directors, officers
and key employees with additional incentives by increasing their ownership
interests in the Company. Directors, officers and other key employees of the
Company and its subsidiaries are eligible to participate in the Plan. Awards may
also be granted to consultants providing valuable services to the Company. In
addition, individuals who have agreed to become a key employee or consultant,
and key employees and consultants of entities that are expected to become
subsidiaries, are eligible for option grants, conditional in each case on actual
employment, consultant or subsidiary status. Awards of options to purchase
Common Stock may include incentive stock options ("ISOs") and/or non-qualified
stock options ("NQSOs").
 
     The Plan also provides for automatic option grants to directors who are not
otherwise employed by the Company or its subsidiaries. Upon commencement of
service (or upon agreeing to serve in the case of the initial non-employee
directors), a non-employee director will receive a nonqualified option to
purchase 10,000 shares of Common Stock, and continuing non-employee directors
will receive annual options to purchase 5,000 shares of Common Stock. Options
granted to non-employee directors become exercisable one-third on the date of
grant and one-third on each of the next two anniversaries of the date of grant.
Non-employee directors' options have a term of five years from the date of
grant.
 
                                       41
<PAGE>   42
 
     The maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be subject to
outstanding options, determined immediately after the grant of any option, is
the greater of 650,000 shares or 12% of the aggregate number of shares of the
Company's Common Stock outstanding, provided, however, that options to purchase
no more than 650,000 shares of Common Stock may be granted as ISOs.
 
     The Company has outstanding nonqualified options to purchase a total of
439,000 shares of Common Stock granted in November 1995 at $13.00 per share
(including options granted to non-employee directors of the Company). The
outstanding options, other than those granted to non-employee directors, are
generally exercisable after July 21, 1996 as to 20% of the underlying shares,
and as to an additional 20% on each of the next four anniversaries of the date
of option grant. In November 1995, the Company granted to Mr. Bowman and Mr.
Barker warrants to purchase 100,000 and 15,000 shares of Common Stock,
respectively, each at $10.00 per share. The warrants are exercisable as to 50%
on January 26, 1998 and as to the remaining 50% on January 26, 1999. Since the
Offering, the Company has granted additional options to purchase 56,800 shares
of Common Stock to its key employees. In May 1996, the Company granted Mr.
Bowman an additional warrant (the "Additional Warrant") to purchase 50,000
shares of Common Stock at $20.00 per share. The Additional Warrant is
exercisable as to 50% on May 21, 1998 and as to the remaining 50% on May 21,
1999.
 
     Additional nonqualified options to purchase 70,000 shares of Common Stock
were granted at fair market value at the date of grant in connection with the
B&B and Premier acquisitions in May 1996, and nonqualified options to purchase
23,000 shares of Common Stock were granted at fair market value at the date of
grant in connection with the Cook and Octo acquisitions in June 1996.
 
     No options were granted during fiscal year 1994. The following table sets
forth certain information concerning the grant of options and warrants to
purchase Common Stock of the Company in 1995 to Mr. Bowman and Mr. Barker and in
1996 to Ms. Lebenberg. None of the other named executives has been granted
options or warrants.

                          DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
 
GENERAL
 
     The Company's authorized capital stock consists of 26,000,000 shares of
Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock,
par value $.01 per share (the "Preferred Stock"). As of July 1, 1996, the
Company had outstanding 5,522,867 shares of Common Stock and no shares of
Preferred Stock and had 39 record holders of Common Stock.
 
COMMON STOCK
 
     The holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share on all
matters voted upon by stockholders, including the election of directors.
 
     Subject to the rights of any then outstanding shares of Preferred Stock,
the holders of the Common Stock are entitled to such dividends as may be
declared in the discretion of the Board of Directors out of funds legally
available therefore. See "Dividends." Holders of Common Stock are entitled to
share ratably in the net assets of the Company upon liquidation after payment or
provision for all liabilities and any preferential liquidation rights of any
Preferred Stock then outstanding. The holders of Common Stock have no preemptive
rights to purchase shares of stock of the Company. Shares of Common Stock are
not subject to any redemption provisions and are not convertible into any other
securities of the Company. All outstanding shares of Common Stock are, and the
shares of Common Stock to be issued hereby will be upon payment therefor, fully
paid and non-assessable.
 
PREFERRED STOCK
 
     The Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time by the Board of
Directors as shares of one or more classes or series. Subject to the provisions
of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation and limitations prescribed by law,
the Board of Directors is expressly authorized to adopt resolutions to issue the
shares, to fix the number of shares and to change the number of shares
constituting any series, and to provide for or change the voting powers,
designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special
rights, qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, including dividend
rights (including whether dividends are cumulative), dividend rates, terms of
redemption (including sinking fund provisions), redemption prices, conversion
rights and liquidation preferences of the shares constituting any class or
series of the Preferred Stock, in each case without any further action or vote
by the stockholders. The Company has no current plans to issue any shares of
Preferred Stock of any class or series.
 
     One of the effects of undesignated Preferred Stock may be to enable the
Board of Directors to render more difficult or to discourage an attempt to
obtain control of the Company by means of a tender offer, proxy contest, merger
or otherwise, and thereby to protect the continuity of the Company's management.
The issuance of shares of the Preferred Stock pursuant to the Board of
Directors' authority described above may adversely affect the rights of the
holders of Common Stock. For example, Preferred Stock issued by the Company may
rank prior to the Common Stock as to dividend rights, liquidation preference or
both, may have full or limited voting rights and may be convertible into shares
of Common Stock. Accordingly, the issuance of shares of Preferred Stock may
discourage bids for the Common Stock or may otherwise adversely affect the
market price of the Common Stock.
 
STATUTORY BUSINESS COMBINATION PROVISION
 
     The Company is subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware
General Corporation Law ("Section 203"). Section 203 provides, with certain
exceptions, that a Delaware corporation may not engage in any of a broad range
of business combinations with a person or an affiliate, or associate of such
person, who is an "interested stockholder" for a period of three years from the
date that such person became an interested stockholder unless: (i) the
transaction resulting in a person becoming an interested stockholder, or the
business combination, is approved by the Board of Directors of the corporation
before the person becomes an interested stockholder; (ii) the interested
stockholder acquired 85% or more of the outstanding voting stock of
 
                                       45
<PAGE>   46
 
the corporation in the same transaction that makes such person an interested
stockholder (excluding shares owned by persons who are both officers and
directors of the corporation, and shares held by certain employee stock
ownership plans); or (iii) on or after the date the person becomes an interested
stockholder, the business combination is approved by the corporation's board of
directors and by the holders of at least 66 2/3% of the corporation's
outstanding voting stock at an annual or special meeting, excluding shares owned
by the interested stockholder. Under Section 203, an "interested stockholder" is
defined as any person who is: (i) the owner of 15% or more of the outstanding
voting stock of the corporation; or (ii) an affiliate or associate of the
corporation and who was the owner of 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock
of the corporation at any time within the three-year period immediately prior to
the date on which it is sought to be determined whether such person is an
interested stockholder.
 
     A corporation may, at its option, exclude itself from the coverage of
Section 203 by amending its certificate of incorporation or bylaws, by action of
its stockholders, to exempt itself from coverage, provided that such bylaw or
certificate of incorporation amendment shall not become effective until 12
months after the date it is adopted. The Company has not adopted such an
amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws.
 
TRANSFER AGENT AND REGISTRAR
 
     The Transfer Agent and Registrar for the Common Stock is American Stock
Transfer and Trust Company.

                              CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS
 
ORGANIZATION OF THE COMPANY
 
     Between September 1994 and September 1995, F.Y.I. issued 1,205,682 shares
of Common Stock at an aggregate purchase price of $1,225,000 to certain founding
stockholders including Thomas C. Walker, David Lowenstein and Jerry Jones.
 
     In connection with the Acquisitions, and as consideration for their
interests in the Founding Companies, certain officers, directors and holders of
more than 5% of the outstanding shares of the Company received cash and shares
of Common Stock of the Company as follows: Mr. Melanson -- $2,475,000 and
613,260 shares of Common Stock; Mr. Leonard -- $1,250,000 and 253,274 shares of
Common Stock; Mr. Shaw -- $1,200,000 and 265,198 shares of Common Stock; Mr.
Bellenghi -- $103,000 and 66,196 shares of Common Stock; and Mr.
Bradley -- $103,000 and 66,196 shares of Common Stock. For a description of the
transactions pursuant to which the Company was formed, see
"Business -- Organization."
 
     The Company has repaid approximately $4,106,000 of indebtedness of the
Founding Companies, of which approximately $2,212,000 directly or indirectly
benefited officers, directors or greater than 5% stockholders of the Company as
follows: Mr. Melanson -- approximately $417,000; Mr. Shaw -- approximately
$155,000; Mr. Leonard -- approximately $1.2 million; Mr. Bellenghi -- $205,000;
and Mr. Bradley -- $205,000. In each case, such person was previously either a
direct obligor or a guarantor of such indebtedness.
 
     The Company has an option to acquire an additional start-up document
management business owned by Mr. Melanson, and Mr. Melanson has an option to
require the Company to purchase such business at such time as its annual pre-tax
profits exceed $550,000. In either event, the consideration payable to Mr.
Melanson will consist of the Company's Common Stock with a value equal to six
times the amount of such pre-tax profits. For the ten months ending October 31,
1995 the pre-tax loss of such business was $26,000. Consequently, it is unlikely
that the Company will be purchasing such business during fiscal 1996.
 
WARRANT TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK
 
     In November 1995, the Company granted to Mr. Bowman and Mr. Barker warrants
to purchase 100,000 and 15,000 shares of Common Stock, respectively each at
$10.00 per share. These warrants are exercisable as to 50% on January 26, 1998
and as to the remaining 50% on January 26, 1999. In May 1996, the Company
granted to Mr. Bowman the Additional Warrant to purchase 50,000 shares of Common
Stock at $20.00 per share. The Additional Warrant is exercisable as to 50% on
May 21, 1998 and as to the remaining 50% on May 21, 1999.
 
REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS
 
     Leonard leases two properties from Leonard Investments, a partnership
consisting of Mr. Leonard and his father. The aggregate rental expenses for
these properties were approximately $127,000, $126,000 and $127,000 for the
three years ended December 31, 1993, 1994 and 1995, respectively. The Company
also leases one other facility from Mr. Leonard's father. The rental expenses
for this property were approximately $62,000 for each of the three years ended
December 31, 1993, 1994 and 1995, respectively. The Company believes that the
amounts paid for such properties do not exceed the fair market rental thereof.
 
     Researchers leases office facilities and certain equipment from Mr.
Melanson. The total lease payments to Mr. Melanson were $187,000, $177,000 and
$242,000 for the three years ended December 31, 1993, 1994 and 1995,
respectively. Researchers is also required to pay the taxes and insurance on the
properties. The Company believes that the amounts paid for such properties do
not exceed the fair market rental thereof.
 
CERTAIN LOANS
 
     At December 31, 1995, two companies in which Mr. Leonard and his relatives
owned 78% and 33% of the outstanding shares, respectively, were obligated to
Leonard in the amount of $259,000.
 
                                       47
<PAGE>   48
 
COMPANY POLICY
 
     In the future, transactions with affiliates of the Company are anticipated
to be minimal and will be approved by a majority of the Board of Directors,
including a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors, and
will be made on terms no less favorable to the Company than could be obtained
from unaffiliated third parties.
 
                        SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE
 
     The Company has outstanding 5,522,867 shares of Common Stock. The 2,185,000
shares sold in the Offering are freely tradeable without restriction unless
purchased by affiliates of the Company. The 253,252 outstanding shares issued in
connection with the B&B and Premier acquisitions are subject to contractual
restrictions on the transfer therefor. These contractual restrictions expire two
years from the date of issuance and may only be resold in compliance with Rule
145 under the Securities Act. None of the remaining 3,084,615 outstanding shares
of Common Stock (collectively, the "Restricted Shares") has been registered
under the Securities Act, which means that they may be resold publicly only upon
registration under the Securities Act or in compliance with an exemption from
the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including the exemption
provided by Rule 144 thereunder.
 
     In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, if two years have
elapsed since the later of the date of the acquisition of restricted shares of
Common Stock from the Company or any affiliate of the Company, the acquiror or
subsequent holder thereof may sell, within any three-month, a number of shares
that does not exceed the greater of 1% of the then outstanding shares of the
Common Stock, or the average weekly trading volume of the Common Stock on the
Nasdaq National Market during the four calendar weeks preceding the date on
which notice of the proposed sale is sent to the Commission. Sales under Rule
144 are also subject to certain manner of sale provisions, notice requirements
and the availability of current public information about the Company. If three
years have elapsed since the later of the date of the acquisition of restricted
shares of Common Stock from the Company or any affiliate of the Company, a
person who is not deemed to have been an affiliate of the Company at any time
for 90 days preceding a sale would be entitled to sell such shares under Rule
144 without regard to the volume limitations, manner of sale provisions or
notice requirements.
 
     The former owners of the Founding Companies and the initial stockholders of
the Company are contractually prohibited by the Company from selling such shares
until at least January 26, 1998 (other than certain sales registered under the
Securities Act).
 
     Sales of substantial amounts of the Common Stock in the public market could
adversely affect prevailing market prices and the ability of the Company to
raise equity capital in the future.
 
                                 LEGAL MATTERS
 
     The validity of the issuance of the shares of Common Stock offered by this
Prospectus has been passed upon for the Company by Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP,

                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
 
To F.Y.I. Incorporated:
 
     We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of F.Y.I. Incorporated (a
Delaware corporation) as of December 31, 1995. This financial statement is the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on this financial statement based on our audit.
 
     We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the balance sheet is free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the balance sheet. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
     In our opinion, the balance sheet referred to above presents fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of F.Y.I. Incorporated as of December
31, 1995, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
1.  BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION:
 
     F.Y.I. Incorporated ("F.Y.I." or the "Company") was founded in September
1994 to create a national company to provide document management services to
companies in various industries. F.Y.I. intends to acquire various local and
regional companies, complete an initial public offering ("IPO") of its common
stock and, subsequent to the IPO, continue to acquire, through merger or
purchase, similar companies to build a national publicly owned enterprise.
 
     In October 1995, F.Y.I. and separate wholly owned subsidiaries signed
definitive agreements to acquire by merger seven companies ("Founding
Companies") to be effective with the closing of an initial public offering of
the common stock of F.Y.I. The aggregate consideration that will be paid by
F.Y.I. to acquire the Founding Companies is approximately $35 million consisting
of a combination of cash and common stock. In addition, the preferred stock will
be converted to common stock.
 
     Simultaneously with the closing of its initial public offering (the
"Offering") on January 23, 1996, F.Y.I. and separate wholly owned subsidiaries
acquired by merger (the "Acquisitions") the Founding Companies located in
California, Maryland, Texas, Pennsylvania, and Michigan. The consideration for
the stock of the Founding Companies consisted of a combination of cash and
common stock of F.Y.I.
 
     F.Y.I.'s primary asset at December 31, 1995, was deferred offering costs.
The Company conducted no significant operations prior to the Offering. For
accounting purposes and the presentation of the actual financial results herein,
January 31, 1996, has been used as the effective date of the Acquisitions. The
Company incurred various legal, accounting, marketing and travel costs in
connection with the Acquisitions, which were funded by issuance of Common Stock
and Preferred Stock, discussed in Note 2. Additional costs associated with the
Offering and the Acquisitions were repaid with proceeds of the Offering.
 
     In the opinion of F.Y.I.'s management, the accompanying interim
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all
adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position at
March 31, 1996, its results of operations for the three months ended March 31,
1996 and 1995, and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 1996, and
1995. All significant intercompany accounts have been eliminated. Although the
Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information
presented not misleading, certain information and footnote disclosures normally
included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. These
consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
combined financial statements of the Founding Companies and the related notes
thereto included elsewhere in this Prospectus. The results of operations for the
three month periods ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, may not be indicative of the
results for the full year.
 
2.  STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY:
 
     In connection with the organization and initial capitalization of F.Y.I. in
September 1994, F.Y.I. issued 602,841 shares of common stock at par value. In
March 1995, 21,099 additional shares were issued as consideration for services
provided by a consultant. The shares were valued at $35,000, and a corresponding
amount was recorded in deferred offering costs. In September 1995, F.Y.I. issued
an additional 39,185 shares of common stock for $325,000.
 
     In October 1994, F.Y.I. issued a total of 9,000 shares of Series A, 6%
cumulative, convertible, voting preferred stock ("Series A Preferred") for
proceeds of $900,000, net of offering costs of $46,000. The Series A Preferred
is convertible into common stock on a one for one basis (pre-split) at the
shareholders' discretion after a five-month holding period from the date of
issuance, and will be converted in connection with the IPO. All Series A
Preferred shares outstanding at December 31, 1995, were convertible. The Series
A Preferred is entitled to a 6% cumulative preference on any dividends paid by
F.Y.I.

                     NOTES TO BALANCE SHEET -- (CONTINUED)
 
     In October 1995, F.Y.I. outstanding common stock was split 60.28 for one.
In addition, F.Y.I. increased the number of authorized shares of preferred stock
and common stock to 1,000,000 shares and 26,000,000 shares, respectively. The
common stock split and shares authorized have been retroactively reflected on
the balance sheet and in the accompanying Notes.
 
     In November 1995, the Company issued warrants to purchase 115,000 shares of
common stock at $10.00 per share. The warrants are exercisable as to 50% on the
second anniversary of the date of grant and as to the remaining 50% on the third
anniversary date of the grant.
 
     In January 1996, the Company issued warrants to purchase 50,000 shares of
common stock at $13.00 per share. The warrants are exercisable as to 50% on the
second anniversary of the date of the grant and as to the remaining 50% on the
third anniversary date of the grant.
 
     In October 1995, the Board of Directors and F.Y.I.'s stockholders approved
the Company's 1995 Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") which will become effective on
the date of the Offering. Awards of options to purchase common stock may include
incentive stock options ("ISOs") and/or non-qualified stock options ("NQSOs").
The maximum number of shares of common stock that may be subject to outstanding
options, determined immediately after the grant of any option, is equal to the
greater of 650,000 shares or 12% of the aggregate number of shares of the
Company's common stock outstanding, provided, however, that options to purchase
no more than 650,000 shares of common stock may be granted as ISOs. In November
1995, the Company issued NQSOs to purchase a total of 472,500 shares of common
stock at the IPO price and in March 1996, the Company issued NQSOs to purchase
6,000 shares of common stock at $17.25 per share.
 
3.  INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING AND MERGER:
 
  Initial Public Offering
 
     On January 26, 1996, F.Y.I. completed the Offering of 2,185,000 (including
the exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option) shares of common stock
at $13.00 per share for proceeds, net of underwriting commissions and offering
costs, of $24.7 million. Of these net proceeds, approximately $14.4 million was
used to pay a portion of the consideration for the Acquisitions, approximately
$7.7 million was used to retire certain indebtedness of the Founding Companies,
and $2.6 million was used as working capital.
 
     Upon closing of the Offering, the Company converted the 9,000 shares of
Series A Preferred Stock into 542,557 shares of common stock.
 
  Merger
 
     Simultaneously with the closing of the Offering mentioned above, the
Company acquired the Founding Companies. The Company issued 1,878,933 shares of
common stock to the stockholders of the Founding Companies, in addition to the
consideration mentioned above, to effect the Merger.

4.  SUBSEQUENT EVENT:
 
     In April 1996, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the "Credit
Agreement") with a lending group (the "Lenders"). The Company may borrow up to
$35.0 million from time to time under the secured revolving credit and
acquisition facility, subject to certain customary borrowing capacity
requirements. The Company and its subsidiaries may borrow up to $30.0 million of
term loans under the Credit Agreement for acquisitions under prescribed
conditions. The Company and its subsidiaries may borrow revolving credit loans
up to $5.0 million under the Credit Agreement for working capital and general
corporate purposes. The commitment to fund revolving credit loans expires April
14, 2001. The commitment to fund term loans expires October 15, 1997. The annual
interest rate applicable to borrowing under this facility is, at the option of
the Company, (i) 1.50% plus the prime rate or (ii) 3.00% plus the Eurodollar
rate.
 
     The Credit Agreement requires mandatory prepayments in certain
circumstances. The outstanding principal balance of term loans as of October 15,
1997 shall thereafter be due and payable in 14 equal quarterly payments
beginning January 15, 1998 and ending April 15, 2001. The outstanding principal
balance of revolving credit loans shall be due and payable on April 15, 2001.
The Company currently has no borrowings outstanding under this facility.

                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
 
To F.Y.I. Incorporated:
 
     We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of the Founding
Companies (Note 1) as of December 31, 1994 and 1995, and the related combined
statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 1995. These combined financial
statements are the responsibility of the Companies' management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these combined financial statements
based on our audits. We did not audit the financial statements of Recordex
Services, Inc., as of and for the two years in the period ended December 31,
1994 which statements reflect total assets of 14% of the combined totals as of
December 31, 1994, and total revenues of 14% and 16% of the combined totals for
each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 1994. Those statements
were audited by other auditors whose report has been furnished to us and our
opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for those entities, is
based solely on the report of the other auditors.
 
     We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits and the report of other auditors provide a reasonable
basis for our opinion.
 
     In our opinion, based on our audits and the report of other auditors, the
financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects,
the combined financial position of the Founding Companies as of December 31,
1994 and 1995, and the results of their combined operations and their combined
cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995, in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

                               FOUNDING COMPANIES
 
                     NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
1.  BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION:
 
     Concurrently with the initial public offering of its common stock (the
"Offering"), F.Y.I. Incorporated ("FYI") will merge with the following seven
companies (the "Founding Companies"): Imagent Corporation and Mobile Information
Services ("Imagent"); Melanson and Associates, Inc. ("Melanson") dba Researchers
and Bay Area Micrographics ("Researchers"); Recordex Services, Inc. (a wholly
owned subsidiary of Paragon Management Group, Inc.) ("Recordex"); C.&T.
Management Services, Inc. dba DPAS, and Qualidata, Inc. dba The Mail House
("DPAS"); Leonard Archives, Inc. ("Leonard"); Deliverex, Incorporated ("DLX")
and Peninsula Records Management, a wholly owned subsidiary of DLX ("PRM"), and
an affiliate, ASK Record Management, Inc. ("ASK") (collectively "Deliverex");
and Permanent Records, Inc. ("Permanent"). The merger will be effected by FYI
through issuance of its common stock and cash.
 
     The Founding Companies are providers of document management services to
three primary client groups: healthcare institutions, professional services
firms, and financial institutions.
 
2.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION:
 
     Simultaneously with the closing of the Offering, FYI and separate wholly
owned subsidiaries of FYI will merge with the Founding Companies (the
"Mergers"). The accompanying combined financial statements and related notes
represent the combined financial position, results of operations, and cash flows
of the Founding Companies excluding FYI without giving effect to the Mergers and
the Offering. The assets and liabilities of the Founding Companies are reflected
at their historical amounts. The Founding Companies were not under common
control or management during any of the periods presented.
 
     Melanson has previously reported on a fiscal year ending July 31. As such,
the accounts of Melanson for its 1993 fiscal year has been combined with the
accounts of the other Founding Companies for the year ended December 31, 1993.
The fiscal 1994 and 1995 accounts of Melanson have been recast to a December 31
year-end and have been combined with the accounts of the other Founding
Companies for the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1995. The exclusion of
Melanson's net income for the period from August 1 through December 31, 1993, of
$229,000 is reflected as an adjustment to retained earnings in the December 31,
1994, combined statement of stockholders' equity. The results of operations
related to the adjustment to retained earnings for Melanson included revenues of
$3,820,000 and costs and expenses of $3,591,000 from August 1, through December
31, 1993.
 
     Deliverex's affiliate, ASK, has previously reported on a fiscal year ending
December 31. DLX and PRM have previously reported on a fiscal year ending
September 30. The 1995 accounts of DLX and PRM have been recast to a December 31
year-end and have been combined with the accounts of the other Founding
Companies for the year ended December 31, 1995. The exclusion of DLX and PRM's
net income for the period from October 1 through December 31, 1994, of $44,000
is reflected as an adjustment to retained earnings in the December 31, 1995
combined statement of stockholders' equity. The results of operations related to
the adjustment to retained earnings for DLX and PRM included revenue of $553,000
and costs and expenses of $509,000 from October 1 through December 31, 1994.
 
     The affiliate of Imagent Corporation, Mobile Information Services, had
previously reported on a fiscal year ending June 30 through fiscal 1992. As
such, the accounts of the affiliate for its 1992 fiscal year have been combined
with the accounts of the other Founding Companies for the years ended December
31, 1992. The exclusion of the affiliate's net income for the period from July 1
through December 31, 1992, of $29,000 is reflected as an adjustment to retained
earnings in the December 31, 1992, combined statement of stockholders' equity.
The results of operations related to the adjustment to retained earnings for the
affiliate of Imagent Corporation included revenues of $656,000 and costs and
expenses of $627,000 from July 1 through December 31, 1992.

             NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
3.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
 
  Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
     The Founding Companies consider highly liquid investments with original
maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are
carried at cost, which approximates market value.
 
  Inventory
 
     Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market with cost determined on
a first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis.
 
  Property and Equipment
 
     Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using
straight-line and accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of the
assets. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the lesser of the useful
life or the term of the lease.
 
  Intangible Assets
 
     Intangible assets consist primarily of customer lists, acquired by a
founding company in October of 1994, which are amortized over 15 years. The
Founding Companies continually evaluate whether events and circumstances
indicate the remaining estimated useful life of intangible assets may warrant
revisions or that the remaining balance of intangibles or other long-lived
assets may not be recoverable. To make this evaluation, the Founding Companies
use an estimate of undiscounted net income over the remaining life of the
intangibles or other long-lived assets. The Financial Accounting Standards Board
has issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 121, "Accounting for
the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of"
(SFAS 121), which established accounting standards for the impairment of
long-lived assets, certain identifiable intangibles, and goodwill. Adoption is
required in financial statements for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
1995. FYI and the Founding Companies do not expect the adoption of SFAS 121 to
have any material effect on the combined financial statements. FYI and the
Founding Companies will adopt SFAS 121 in 1996.
 
  Revenue Recognition
 
     Revenues are recognized when the services are rendered, or products are
shipped, to the Founding Companies' customers. Unearned revenue represents
customer storage and certain services which are billed in advance.
 
  Income Taxes
 
     Income taxes are provided based upon the provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," for the
Founding Companies that are C corporations for income tax purposes, which
requires recognition of deferred income taxes under the asset and liability
method.
 
     Certain of the Founding Companies are S corporations or a sole
proprietorship for income tax purposes and, accordingly, any income tax
liabilities are the responsibility of the respective owners. The historical
combined net income of the Founding Companies includes no provision for income
taxes of the S corporations or sole proprietorship.
 
     Deferred income taxes are provided for temporary differences in the
recognition of revenues and expenses for tax and financial reporting purposes.
Temporary differences result primarily from accelerated depreciation and
amortization for tax purposes, deferred contract revenues being taxed when
billed, cash basis of

             NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
accounting for tax purposes versus accrual basis accounting for financial
reporting purposes, and various accruals and reserves being deductible for tax
purposes in different periods.
 
  Use of Estimates in Financial Statements
 
     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of certain assets and liabilities
and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements
and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
  Reclassifications
 
     Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to make their
presentation consistent with the current year.
 
  Pro Forma Net Income (Unaudited)
 
     The Founding Companies have been managed throughout the periods presented
as independent private companies and represent a variety of tax structures (S
corporation, C corporation, and sole proprietorship). Therefore, selling,
general, and administrative expenses for the periods presented reflect
compensation and related benefits that owners and certain key employees received
from their respective businesses during these periods. These owners and key
employees have agreed to certain reductions in salaries and benefits in
connection with the Mergers. Each stockholder (other than one Paragon Management
Group stockholder) has entered into a three year employment agreement with FYI
which contains a set base salary, participation in any future FYI incentive
plans, four weeks vacation, car allowance, health benefits, and a two-year
covenant-not-to-compete following termination of such person's employment. The
employment agreements provide for the following compensation levels by company:

taxes and adjusted for the impact of the compensation differential discussed
above.

Leonard's guarantee and security interest are subordinate to all other notes
payable to the bank and the Detroit Economic Growth Council.
 
13.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:
 
  Litigation
 
     The Founding Companies are, from time to time, a party to litigation
arising in the normal course of their business, most of which involve claims for
workers compensation, unemployment and property damage incurred in connection
with its operations. Management of the Founding Companies believes that none of
this litigation will have a material adverse effect on the combined financial
position or combined results of operations of the Founding Companies.
 
     Recordex is one of several defendants in a federal and three state lawsuits
contesting the reasonableness of the fees charged for medical records release
services. The plaintiffs in these cases are seeking class certification. In
November 1994, the plaintiff's motion for class certification and all other
claims were denied in the federal lawsuit. The plaintiffs filed an appeal on
January 3, 1995. On April 4, 1996, the Court of Appeals affirmed the decision in
favor of the Company on the substantive claims, but remanded the case to the
District Court for a hearing on the individual plaintiff's request for
injunctive relief. In February 1996, one of the Pennsylvania lawsuits was
concluded favorably to the Company. While the outcome of the remaining
litigation is uncertain, management of Recordex believes that it has meritorious
defenses, and there will not be a material effect on its financial position or
results of operations.
 
  Employment Agreements
 
     Researchers has employment agreements with certain personnel to pay
specific amounts annually. The employment agreements provide for a total annual
compensation amount of $595,000 to be disbursed to certain personnel of
Researchers in accordance with the terms of each employee's employment
agreement.
 
  Concentration of Credit Risk
 
     Financial instruments that potentially subject the Founding Companies to
concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and
trade receivables. The Founding Companies maintain cash and cash equivalents and
certain other financial instruments at various major financial institutions
across many geographic areas. Credit risk on trade receivables is minimized as a
result of the large number of entities comprising the Founding Companies'
customer base and their dispersion across many industries and geographic areas.
 
14.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS:
 
     In October 1995, FYI entered into definitive agreements to acquire the
Founding Companies. On January 26, 1996, the Founding Companies were acquired by
FYI and separate wholly owned subsidiaries, effective with the closing of the
Offering of 2,185,000 shares of FYI common stock.

                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
 
To Imagent Corporation:
 
     We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of Imagent
Corporation (a Maryland corporation) and Related Company as of December 31, 1994
and 1995, and the related combined statements of operations, stockholders'
equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December
31, 1995. These combined financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
combined financial statements based on our audits.
 
     We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
     In our opinion, the combined financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Imagent Corporation
and Related Company as of December 31, 1994 and 1995, and the results of their
combined operations and their combined cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended December 31, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

                    IMAGENT CORPORATION AND RELATED COMPANY
 
                     NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
1.  BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION:
 
     The accompanying combined financial statements include the accounts of
Imagent Corporation (formerly Mobile Microfilming Corporation) and Mobile
Information Services (collectively the "Company"). The Company is a microfilm
processing laboratory and Kodak distributor of microfilm/microfilming supplies
and a broker of imaging equipment and systems and provides data and document
acquisition services for public and private industry customers. The Company's
customers are primarily located in the Mid-Atlantic region.
 
     The Company and its stockholders entered into a definitive agreement with
F.Y.I. Incorporated ("FYI") in October 1995, pursuant to which the Company will
merge with FYI (the "Merger"). All outstanding shares of the Company's common
stock will be exchanged for cash and shares of FYI's common stock concurrent
with the consummation of the initial public offering (the "Offering") of the
common stock of FYI.
 
2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
 
  Basis of Presentation
 
     The Company is under common control of two stockholders. All significant
intercompany transactions have been eliminated in combination.
 
     Mobile Information Services (MIS) reported on a June 30, 1992, year-end
prior to 1993; as such its accounts for the year ended June 30, 1992, have been
combined with the accounts of Mobile Microfilming Corporation as of December 31,
1992. The results of MIS's operations for the six months ended December 31,
1992, have been reflected as an adjustment to retained earnings. Unaudited
revenues and net income were approximately $656,000 and $29,000, respectively.
 
  Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
     The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original
maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are
carried at cost, which approximates market value.
 
  Property and Equipment
 
     Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using
the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.
Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the lesser of the asset's useful
life or lease term.
 
  Inventories
 
     Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or
market.
 
  Intangible and Other Long-Lived Assets
 
     The customer list is being amortized over a 15-year period, and the
covenant not to compete is being amortized over the term of the agreement.
 
     The Company continually evaluates whether events and circumstances indicate
the remaining estimated useful life of intangibles and long-lived assets may
warrant revisions or that the remaining balance of intangibles or other
long-lived assets may not be recoverable. To make this evaluation, the Company
uses an estimate of undiscounted net income over the remaining life of the
intangibles or other long-lived assets. The Financial Accounting Standards Board
has issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 121: Accounting for
the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of
(SFAS 121) which establishes accounting standards for the impairment of
long-lived assets, certain

                    IMAGENT CORPORATION AND RELATED COMPANY
 
             NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
identifiable intangibles, and goodwill. Adoption is required in financial
statements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. The Company does
not expect the adoption of SFAS 121 to have any material effect on the combined
financial statements. The Company will adopt SFAS 121 in 1996.
 
  Revenue Recognition
 
     Revenue is recognized when services are rendered, or products are shipped,
to the Company's customers.
 
  Concentration of Credit Risk
 
     Financial instruments which potentially expose the Company to
concentrations of credit risk, as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 105, consist primarily of trade accounts receivable. The Company's
customers are concentrated in the mid-Atlantic states and the primary customers
are governmental and financial institutions. The Company establishes an
allowance for doubtful accounts based upon factors surrounding the credit risk
of specific customers, historical trends, and other information.
 
     An agency of the federal government accounted for 14% and 17% of its
revenues for the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1995, respectively. The
Company did not have sales to this customer prior to 1994.
 
  Income Taxes
 
     The Company is an S corporation for income tax purposes and, accordingly,
any income tax liabilities are the responsibility of the stockholders. The
Company's S corporation status will terminate with the effective date of the
Merger discussed in Note 1.

11.  PRO FORMA NET INCOME (UNAUDITED):
 
     Selling, general and administrative expenses for the periods presented
reflect compensation and related benefits that owners and certain key employees
received during the periods. These owners and key employees have agreed to
certain reductions in salaries and benefits in connection with the Merger.
 
     In connection with the merger, each stockholder has entered into a
three-year employment agreement with FYI which provides for set base salary,
participation in any FYI incentive bonus plans, four weeks paid vacation, a car
allowance, health benefits, and a two year covenant-not-to-compete following
termination of such person's employment. The stockholders' employment agreements
provide for an aggregate base salary of $250,000.
 
     The unaudited pro forma data presents compensation at the level the
officers and owners of the Company have agreed to receive subsequent to the
Offering. In addition, the following pro forma data presents the provision for
income taxes as if the Company had been subject to federal and state income
taxes and adjusted for the impact of the compensation differential discussed
above.

12.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS:
 
     On January 26, 1996, the Company was acquired by FYI. In conjunction with
the Merger, the Company will dividend cash and accounts receivable to its
stockholders in the amount of $2,750,000 which represents the AAA accounts of
the Company. In addition, the Company could make an additional distribution
corresponding to the increase in net stockholders' equity from June 30, 1995 to
November 30, 1995, not to exceed $400,000. The $400,000 available for the
additional distribution was distributed prior to December 31, 1995. Had the
$2,750,000 transaction been recorded at December 31, 1995, the effect on the
accompanying balance sheet would be a decrease in total assets and stockholders'
equity of $2,750,000.

                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
 
To Melanson and Associates, Inc.:
 
     We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of Melanson and
Associates, Inc. (a California corporation) and Related Company as of December
31, 1994 and 1995, and the related combined statements of operations,
stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the years ended July 31, 1993,
and December 31, 1994 and 1995. These combined financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these combined financial statements based on our audits.
 
     We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
     In our opinion, the combined financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the combined financial position of Melanson
and Associates, Inc. and Related Company as of December 31, 1994 and 1995, and
the combined results of their operations and their combined cash flows for each
of the years ended July 31, 1993, and December 31, 1994 and 1995, in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

                     NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
1.  BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION:
 
     The accompanying combined financial statements include the accounts of
Melanson and Associates, Inc. (dba Researchers) and Bay Area Micrographics
(BAM -- or the "Related Company") (a sole proprietorship), (collectively the
"Company"). The Company provides photocopying, microfilming, and electronic
imaging of document services to its customers from its offices in California.
 
     In October 1995, the Company and its stockholders entered into a definitive
agreement with F.Y.I. Incorporated ("FYI") pursuant to which the Company will
merge with FYI (the "Merger"). All outstanding shares of the Company's common
stock and the ownership of the sole proprietorship will be exchanged for cash
and shares of FYI's common stock concurrent with the consummation of the initial
public offering (the "Offering") of the common stock of FYI.
 
2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
 
  Basis of Presentation
 
     The Company is under common control. All significant intercompany
transactions have been eliminated in combination.
 
  Fiscal Year-Ends
 
     BAM has a December 31 year-end. Researchers has a July 31 year-end. The
accounts and results of BAM, using a December 31 year-end, have been combined
with the July 31 year-end accounts and results of Researchers in the
accompanying combined financial statements for 1993. Researcher's accounts and
results for 1994 and 1995 have been recast to a December 31 year-end.
Researcher's net income for the five-month period August 1, 1993, to December
31, 1993, was $229,428.
 
  Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
     The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original
maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are
carried at cost, which approximates market value.
 
  Property and Equipment
 
     Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using
the accelerated and straight-line methods over the estimated useful lives of the
assets. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the lesser of the asset's
useful life or the lease term.
 
  Other Long-Lived Assets
 
     The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard No. 121 "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of" (SFAS 121), which established
accounting standards for the impairment of long-lived assets, certain
identifiable intangibles, and goodwill. Adoption is required in financial
statements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. The Company does
not expect the adoption of SFAS 121 to have any material effect on the combined
financial statements. The Company will adopt SFAS 121 in 1996.
 
  Income Taxes
 
     Researchers is a C corporation. BAM is a sole proprietorship for income tax
purposes and, accordingly, any income tax liabilities are the responsibility of
the owner. For purposes of these combined financial
 
                                      F-45

               MELANSON AND ASSOCIATES, INC. AND RELATED COMPANY
 
             NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
statements, no federal and state income taxes have been provided for BAM. BAM's
sole proprietorship status will terminate with the effective date of the Merger
discussed in Note 1.
 
     Deferred income taxes for Researchers are provided for timing differences
in the recognition of revenues and expenses for tax and financial reporting
purposes. Temporary differences result primarily from accelerated depreciation
and amortization for tax purposes, deferred contract revenues being taxed when
billed and various accruals and reserves being deductible for tax purposes in
different periods.
 
  Concentration of Credit Risk
 
     Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentration
of credit risk, as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS)
No. 105, consist primarily of trade accounts receivable. The Company's customers
are concentrated in the Western states and the primary customers are legal
institutions. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based
upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical
trends, and other information.
 
3.  PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT:
 
     Property and equipment consists of the following:

     Stockholder receivable results from advances to the stockholder in excess
of his earned salary and estimated bonus. Amounts are settled at year-end.
 
12.  SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMER:
 
     For the year ended July 31, 1993, the Company had one customer which
accounted for approximately 11% of combined revenue. For the year ended December
31, 1994, the Company had two customers which accounted for approximately 13%
and 11% of combined revenue. For the year ended December 31, 1995, the Company
had two customers which each accounted for approximately 12% of combined
revenue.
 
13.  PRO FORMA NET INCOME (UNAUDITED):
 
     Selling, general, and administrative expenses for the periods presented
reflect compensation and related benefits that owners and certain key employees
received during the periods. These owners and key employees have agreed to
certain reductions in salaries and benefits in connection with the Merger.
 
     In connection with this merger, each stockholder has entered into a three
year employment agreement with FYI which provides for set base salary,
participation in any future FYI incentive bonus plans, four weeks paid vacation,
a car allowance, health benefits and a two year covenant-not-to-compete
following termination of such person's employment. The stockholders' employment
agreements provide for an aggregate base salary of $250,000.
 
     The unaudited pro forma data presents compensation at the level the
officers and owners of the Company have agreed to receive subsequent to the
Offering. In addition, the following pro forma data presents the provision for
income taxes as if the sole proprietorship had been subject to federal and state
income taxes and adjusted for the impact of the compensation differential
discussed above.
 
14.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS:
 
     On January 26, 1996 the Company was acquired by FYI. In connection with the
Merger, the Company will dividend land, building, and related improvements of
$1,488,327 and the related mortgage payable of $1,300,224 to the principal
stockholder. In addition the Company will make a cash distribution of $250,000
prior to the closing of the Merger. Had these transactions been recorded at
December 31, 1995, the effect on the accompanying balance sheet would be a
decrease in assets of $1,738,327, liabilities of $1,300,224, and stockholders'
equity of $438,103.

(a wholly owned subsidiary of Paragon Management Group, Inc.) as of December 31,
1995, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity,
and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. The financial
statements of Recordex Services, Inc. for the years ended December 31, 1994 and
1993, were audited by other auditors whose report dated September 15, 1995,
expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements.
 
     We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
     In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of Recordex Services, Inc. (a
wholly owned subsidiary of Paragon Management Group, Inc.) as of December 31,
1995, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then
ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
 
  Organization
 
     On October 16, 1991, Paragon Management Group, Inc. (the "Parent"),
acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Recordex
Services, Inc. (the "Company"). Established in 1987, the Company is a supplier
of computerized correspondence management systems to hospital medical records
departments. The Company provides services to over 100 hospitals in 11 states.
 
     In October 1995, the Company, its Parent, and the shareholders of its
Parent entered into a definitive agreement with F.Y.I. Incorporated (FYI),
pursuant to which the Company will be acquired by FYI (the "Merger"). All
outstanding shares of the Company will be exchanged for cash and shares of FYI
Common Stock concurrent with the consummation of the initial public offering
(the "Offering") of the common stock of FYI. (See Note 11.)
 
  Accounts Receivable
 
     The Company follows the reserve method of providing for doubtful accounts
receivable.
 
  Transactions with Parent
 
     The Company pays management fees to its Parent for management, consulting,
and other services. These costs are presented in selling, general, and
administrative costs on the statement of operations.
 
     The Company pays certain expenses on behalf of its Parent including
salaries, occupancy costs, and benefits. These payments are recorded as advances
to Parent on the Company's books until the Company is reimbursed by the Parent.
These advances are noninterest bearing obligations. (See Note 11.)
 
  Equipment
 
     Capital additions including assets acquired under capital leases are stated
at cost. Maintenance, repairs, and minor renewals are charged to operations as
incurred. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the assets
using the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes and accelerated
methods for tax purposes. The estimated useful lives used for depreciation vary
for financial reporting and tax purposes. The range of lives for equipment is
three to five years for financial reporting purposes.
 
  Intangible and Other Long-Lived Assets
 
     The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of" (SFAS 121) which establishes
accounting standards for the impairment of long-lived assets, certain
identifiable intangibles, and goodwill. Adoption is required in financial
statements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. The Company does
not expect the adoption of SFAS 121 to have any effect on the financial
statements. The Company will adopt SFAS 121 in 1996.
 
  Supplemental Cash Flow Information
 
     The Company purchased an investment for $30,000 in 1993. As of December 31,
1994, the Company had accepted an offer to have the investee buy back the
investment for $13,333 and a $16,667 loss was recorded in the 1994 statement of
operations. The Company did not receive the proceeds of the sale until January
1995, and a $13,333 receivable was presented as part of other current assets on
the 1994 balance sheet.

                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
  Income Taxes
 
     The Company and its Parent file a consolidated return for federal income
tax purposes. The Company prospectively adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," on January 1, 1993
and 1993 statement of operations includes a cumulative effect adjustment of
$17,500 to record a deferred tax liability.
 
     The Company provides for income taxes based on its share of the
consolidated income tax expense in accordance with SFAS No. 109. The allocation
is performed by treating the Company as if it were a separate taxpayer.
 
     Income taxes, after adopting SFAS No. 109, are provided for the tax effects
of transactions reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes
currently due plus deferred taxes related primarily to differences between the
basis of fixed assets, contractual allowances, and provision for uncollectible
accounts and retrieval fees and accrued expenses for financial and income tax
reporting. The deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax
return consequences of those differences, which will either be taxable or
deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled.
 
  Retrieval Fees Payable
 
     The Company pays retrieval fees to various healthcare organizations with
which it has contracts. Those fees represent charges to the Company by the
healthcare organization for each medical record retrieved from the
organization's records department. Those fees are payable upon receipt of cash
for the billing of the Company's services or upon the billing of its services,
according to specific contract terms.
 
  Revenue Recognition

     Deferred taxes result from the effect of transactions which are recognized
in different periods for financial and tax reporting purposes and relate
primarily to depreciation and contractual allowances and provision for
uncollectible accounts. Deferred income taxes are recognized for tax
consequences of "temporary differences" by applying enacted statutory tax rates
applicable to future years, to differences between the financial reporting and
the tax basis of existing assets and liabilities.

     For purposes of the consolidated federal tax return, the Parent has a net
operating loss carryforward available to offset taxable income of the Company in
1994. The net operating loss carryforward will be fully utilized for the tax
year 1994.
 
7.  401(K) PLAN:
 
     The Company has adopted a contributory 401(k) plan (the "Plan") as of
September 1, 1993. The Plan allows employees to make elective contributions
through salary reduction. The Plan allows for discretionary employer matching.
Participation in the Plan is limited based on certain age and service
requirements. The Company made no contribution to the Plan for the years ended
December 31, 1995 and 1994.

8.  OPERATING LEASES
 
     The Company leases office space under an operating lease which expires in
1998. The future minimum annual rental payments required under this operating
lease as of December 31, 1995 are as follows:

</TABLE>
 
Rent expense charged against operations for the years ended December 31, 1995,
1994 and 1993 was $77,172, $55,173, and $47,175, respectively.
 
9.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:
 
     The Company is named as a defendant, with other medical records copying
copy services and numerous hospitals, in a federal and three state lawsuits
contesting the reasonableness of the fees charged for medical records
reproduction. The plaintiff's in each of these cases are seeking class
certification. In November 1994, the plaintiff's motion for class certification
and all other claims were denied in the federal lawsuit. The plaintiffs filed an
appeal on January 3, 1995. On April 4, 1996, the Court of Appeals affirmed the
decision in favor of the Company on the substantive claims, but remanded the
case to the District Court for a hearing on the individual plaintiff's request
for injunctive relief.
 
     The three state lawsuits, two in Pennsylvania, and one in Ohio, are similar
to the federal suit described above. In February 1996, one of the Pennsylvania
lawsuits was concluded favorably to the Company. Management of the Company and
its counsel believe that the outcome of the remaining cases will be influenced
by the outcome of the other cases.
 
     Although the ultimate outcome of the remaining litigation is not presently
determinable, management of the Company and its counsel believe that they can
successfully defend these cases and any liability resulting from them will not
have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.
 
10.  PRO FORMA NET INCOME (UNAUDITED):
 
     Selling, general, and administrative expenses for the periods presented
reflect compensation and related benefits that owners and certain key employees
received during the periods. These owners and key employees have agreed to
certain reductions in salaries and benefits in connection with the Merger.
 
     In connection with the Merger, two of the Parent's stockholders have
entered into a three year employment agreement with FYI which provides for set
base salary, participation in any future FYI incentive bonus plans, four weeks,
paid vacation, a car allowance, health benefits, and a two year covenant-not-to-
compete following termination of such person's employment. The stockholders'
employment agreements provide for an aggregate base salary of $300,000.
 
     The unaudited pro forma data presents compensation at the level the
officers and owners of the Company have agreed to receive subsequent to the
Offering. In addition, the pro forma data presents the incremental provision for
income taxes for the impact of the compensation differential discussed above.
 
11.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS:
 
     On January 26, 1996, the Company was acquired by FYI. In connection with
the Merger, the Company assumed a note payable to the Parent's stockholders in
the amount of $190,590 and distributed advances receivable from the Parent of
$816,335. Had these transactions been recorded at December 31, 1995, the effect
on the accompanying balance sheet would be an increase in liabilities of
$190,590, a decrease in assets of $816,335 and a decrease in stockholders'
equity of $1,006,925. (See Note 1.)

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
1.  BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION:
 
     Leonard Archives, Inc. (the "Company") stores records, computer media and
microfilm for all industries. The Company also provides document destruction as
a complement to complete records management. The Company operates out of two
Detroit facilities and three other facilities, in Ann Arbor and Farmington
Hills, Michigan, and in Toledo, Ohio.
 
     In October 1995, the Company and its stockholder entered into a definitive
agreement with F.Y.I. Incorporated ("FYI") pursuant to which the Company will
merge with FYI (the "Merger"). All outstanding shares of the Company's common
stock will be exchanged for cash and shares of FYI's common stock concurrent
with the consummation of the initial public offering (the "Offering") of the
common stock of FYI.
 
2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
 
  Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
     The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original
maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are
carried at cost, which approximates market value.
 
  Property and Equipment
 
     Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using
the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Building
improvements are depreciated over the lesser of the asset's useful life or the
lease-term.
 
  Unearned Income
 
     Unearned income represents customer storage services which are billed in
advance.
 
  Other Long-Lived Assets
 
     The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of" (SFAS 121), which is establishing
accounting standards for the impairment of long-lived assets, certain
identifiable intangibles, and goodwill. Adoption is required in financial
statements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. The Company does
not expect the adoption of SFAS 121 to have any effect on the financial
statements. The Company will adopt SFAS 121 in 1996.
 
  Revenue Recognition
 
     Revenue is recognized when the services are rendered.
 
  Concentration of Credit Risk
 
     Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to
concentration of credit risk, as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 105, consist primarily of trade receivables.
 
     Trade receivables are primarily short-term receivables from clients located
in Michigan and Ohio. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts
based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical
trends, and other information.

                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
  Income Taxes
 
     The Company is an S corporation for income tax purposes and, accordingly,
any income tax liabilities are the responsibility of the stockholder. The
Company's S corporation status will terminate with the effective date of the
Merger discussed in Note 1.
 
3.  PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT:
 
     Property and equipment consist of the following:

8.  EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN:
 
     In 1994, the Company adopted a discretionary retirement plan covering
substantially all of its employees. Retirement expenses are funded through
annual contributions to the plan. Expenses related to the plan were $15,982 and
$24,227 for the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1995, respectively.
 
9.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:
 
  Litigation
 
     The Company is, from time to time, a party to litigation arising in the
normal course of its business, most of which involves claims for workers'
compensation, unemployment, and property damage incurred in connection with its
operations. Management believes none of these actions will have a material
adverse effect on the financial position or results of operations of the
Company.
 
10.  RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS:
 
     The Company leases its operating facilities in Toledo and Trumbull
(Detroit) from Leonard Investments. These leases are for various lengths and
annual amounts. The rental expense for these operating leases for the years
ended December 31, 1993, 1994 and 1995, were $127,000, $126,000, and $127,000,
respectively. The Company is also borrowing funds from Leonard Investments as
described in Note 5. Leonard Investments is a partnership owned by the
stockholder and a former stockholder of the Company. The Ann Arbor facility is
leased from a former stockholder. Rental expense for the Ann Arbor facility was
$62,064 for the years ended December 31, 1993, 1994, and 1995.
 
     Accounts receivable -- affiliate represents amounts due from Accumed
Billing, Inc. and Pathfinders, Inc. The sole stockholder of the Company and his
relatives own a 78% interest in Accumed Billing, Inc. and a 33% interest in
Pathfinders, Inc. The receivables relate primarily to employee services provided
to Accumed Billing, Inc. and Pathfinders, Inc.
 
     Leonard has guaranteed a promissory note in the principal amount of
approximately $636,000 as of December 31, 1995, with interest at 10%, payable in
monthly installments in varying amounts through December 1, 2004. The promissory
note is from the stockholder to the former joint owner in Leonard. Leonard's
guarantee and security interest are subordinate to all other notes payable to
the bank and the Detroit Economic Growth Council.
 
11.  PRO FORMA NET INCOME (UNAUDITED):
 
     Selling, general, and administrative expenses for the periods presented
reflect compensation and related benefits that owners and certain key employees
received during these periods. These owners and key employees have agreed to
certain reductions in salaries and benefits in connection with the Merger.
 
     In connection with this merger, the stockholder has entered into a three
year employment agreement with FYI which provides for set base salary,
participation in any future FYI incentive bonus plans, four week paid vacation,
a car allowance, health benefits, and a two year covenant-not-to-compete
following termination of such person's employment. The stockholder's employment
agreement provides for a $100,000 base salary.
 
     The unaudited pro forma data presents compensation at the level the
officers and owners of the Company have agreed to receive subsequent to the
Offering. In addition, the pro forma data presents the provision for income
taxes as if the Company had been subject to federal and state income taxes and
adjusted for the impact of the compensation differential discussed above.

12.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS:
 
     In October 1995, the Company and its stockholder entered into a definitive
agreement to be acquired by FYI. This transaction was subsequently closed on
January 26, 1996. In conjunction with this merger, prior to year-end, the
Company distributed cash to its stockholder in the amount of $700,000 which
represented the AAA account of the Company. In addition, the Company can make an
additional distribution corresponding to the increase in net stockholders'
equity from June 30, 1995 to November 30, 1995, not to exceed $75,000. The
amount available for the additional distribution at December 31, 1995, is
$75,000. Had these transactions been recorded at December 31, 1995, the effect
on the accompanying balance sheet would be a decrease in total assets and a
decrease in stockholder's equity of $75,000.

                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
 
To C.&T. Management Services, Inc.:
 
     We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of C.&T.
Management Services, Inc. (a California corporation) and Related Company as of
December 31, 1994 and 1995, and the related combined statements of operations,
stockholders' deficit, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 1995. These financial statements are the responsibility of
the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
combined financial statements based on our audits.
 
     We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
     In our opinion, the combined financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of C.&T. Management

                     NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
1.  BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION:
 
     The accompanying combined financial statements include the accounts of
C.&T. Management Services, Inc. (dba DPAS) and Qualidata, Inc. (dba The Mail
House -- the "Related Company") (collectively the "Company"). The Company's
principal business is providing data processing, information management, and
bulk mailing services for its customers who are located primarily on the West
Coast.
 
     The Company and its stockholders entered into a definitive agreement with
F.Y.I. Incorporated ("FYI") pursuant to which the Company will merge with FYI
(the "Merger"). All outstanding shares of the Company's common stock will be
exchanged for cash and shares of FYI's common stock concurrent with the
consummation of the initial public offering (the "Offering") of the common stock
of FYI.
 
2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
 
  Basis of Presentation
 
     The companies discussed in Note 1 are all under common control of two
stockholders. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in
combination.
 
  Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
     The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original
maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are
carried at cost, which approximates market value.
 
  Property and Equipment
 
     Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using
the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.
 
  Intangible and Other Long-Lived Assets
 
     The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard No. 121: Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of (SFAS 121) which establishes
accounting standards for the impairment of long-lived assets, certain
identifiable intangibles, and goodwill. Adoption is required in financial
statements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. The Company does
not expect the adoption of SFAS 121 to have any effect on the combined financial
statements. The Company will adopt SFAS 121 in 1996.
 
  Revenue Recognition
 
     Revenue is recognized when services are rendered.
 
  Income Taxes
 
     The companies are S corporations for income tax purposes and, accordingly,
any federal income tax liabilities are the responsibility of the stockholders.
The Company's S corporation status will terminate with the effective date of the
Merger discussed in Note 1.
 
  Reclassifications
 
     Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to make their
presentation consistent with the current year.
 
  Concentration of Credit Risk
 
     Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentration
of credit risk, as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS)
No. 105, consist primarily of trade accounts receivable. The Company's customers
are concentrated in the Western United States and the primary

of specific customers, historical trends, and other information.

9.  EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN:
 
     The Company sponsors a profit sharing plan. Employees become eligible after
one year of service to the Company. The employees are not allowed to make
contributions to the plan; Company contributions are determined by the Board of
Directors. The profit sharing plan expense was $19,392, $12,422, and $19,866 for
1993, 1994 and 1995, respectively.
 
     The Company offers no postretirement or postemployment benefits.
 
10.  INCOME TAXES:
 
     The Company has elected S corporation status under the Internal Revenue
Code. In lieu of federal income taxes, the shareholder is taxed on the Company's
taxable income. Therefore, no provision or liability for federal income tax has
been included in the financial statements for the years ended December 31, 1993,
1994, and 1995. Due to the losses recorded in 1992 and 1994, only the California
minimum corporate tax of $800 has been due. A deferred state tax liability
exists primarily due to the cash basis method of reporting for income tax
purposes. The deferred tax liability of $15,857 at December 31, 1994 and 1995,
represents the 2.5% State of California corporate tax on the net temporary
differences.
 
     State income taxes are as follows:

$51,432 and $37,981 at December 31, 1994 and 1995, that has monthly principal
and interest payments of $1,800 and a maturity date of October 1997.
 
     The maturity for this obligation is as follows:

14.  PRO FORMA NET INCOME (UNAUDITED):
 
     Selling, general, and administrative expenses for the periods presented
reflect compensation and related benefits that the owner and certain key
employees received during the periods. The owner and key employees have agreed
to certain reductions in salaries and benefits in connection with the Merger.
 
     In connection with the Merger, each stockholder has entered into a
three-year employment agreement with FYI which provides for set base salary,
participation in any future FYI incentive bonus plans, four week paid vacation,
a car allowance, health benefits and a two year covenant-not-to-compete
following termination of such person's employment. The stockholders' employment
agreements provide for an aggregate base salary of $220,000.
 
     The unaudited pro forma data presents compensation at the level the
officers and owner of the Company have agreed to receive subsequent to the
Offering. In addition, the following pro forma data presents the provision for
income taxes as if the Company had been subject to federal and state income
taxes and adjusted for the impact of the compensation differential discussed
above.
 
15.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS:
 
     In October 1995, the Company and its stockholders entered into a definitive
agreement to be acquired by FYI. This transaction was subsequently closed on
January 26, 1996.
 
     In conjunction with the Merger, the Company will dividend to the
stockholders, a note receivable totaling $424,649 and related mortgage note
payable of $144,085. In addition, the Company will make a cash distribution of
$250,000 prior to the closing of the merger of which $20,000 was distributed
prior to year-end. Had these transactions been recorded at December 31, 1995,
the effect on the accompanying balance sheet would be a decrease in total assets
of $654,649, total liabilities of $144,085, and stockholders' equity of
$510,564.
 
     In addition certain cash proceeds of the Offering will be used to repay the
stockholder notes payable of $583,483.

                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
 
To Deliverex, Incorporated:
 
     We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of Deliverex,
Incorporated (a California corporation) and Subsidiary and Related Company as of
September 30, 1994, and December 31, 1995, and the related combined statements
of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the years ended
September 30, 1993 and 1994, and December 31, 1995. These combined financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these combined financial statements
based on our audits.
 
     We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
     In our opinion, the combined financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the combined financial position of Deliverex,
Incorporated and Subsidiary and Related Company as of September 30, 1994 and
December 31, 1995, and the combined results of their operations and their
combined cash flows for each of the years ended September 30, 1993 and 1994, and
December 31, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                     NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
1.  BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION:
 
     The accompanying combined financial statements include the accounts of
Deliverex, Incorporated (DLX), its wholly owned subsidiary Peninsula Records
Management, Inc. (PRM) and ASK Record Management, Inc. (ASK -- the "Related
Company") (collectively the "Company"). The Company specializes in storing and
managing active and inactive files for hospitals throughout the United States
but has customers primarily located on the West Coast. The Company also has
franchises that are located in San Francisco, Sacramento, Seattle, and Denver.
 
     In October 1995, the Company's stockholders entered into a definitive
agreement with F.Y.I. Incorporated ("FYI") pursuant to which the Company will be
acquired by FYI (the "Merger"). All outstanding shares of the Company's common
stock will be exchanged for cash and shares of FYI's common stock concurrent
with the consummation of the initial public offering (the "Offering") of the
common stock of FYI.
 
2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
 
  Basis of Presentation
 
     The companies referred to in Note 1 are all under common control. All
significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in combination.
 
  Fiscal Year-Ends
 
     ASK has a December 31 year-end. The accompanying combined financial
statements reflect the accounts and results of ASK combined with the September
30 year-end accounts and results of DLX and PRM. DLX and PRM's net income for
the period from October 1 through December 31, 1994, of $44,177 is reflected as
an adjustment to retained earnings on the combined statement of stockholders'
equity.
 
  Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
     The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original
maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are
carried at cost, which approximates market value.
 
  Receivable from Shareholder
 
     Receivable from shareholder represents advances made to the shareholder
which are payable on demand and will be repaid as a result of the transaction
discussed in Note 14.
 
  Property and Equipment
 
     Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using
the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.
Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the lesser of the asset's useful
life or the lease term.
 
  Franchise and License Agreements
 
     DLX has four franchise agreements and three licensee agreements. Initial
franchise fees are recognized as DLX's initial services and material obligations
are performed. Franchise and license agreements are for periods of up to twenty
years and contain options to renew.
 
  Revenue Recognition
 
     Revenue is recognized by PRM and ASK when the services are rendered to the
Company's customers. DLX's revenue is derived from monthly royalties under its
franchise and licensee agreements and is

           DELIVEREX, INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARY AND RELATED COMPANY
 
             NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
recognized in the month earned. Royalties earned are shown in other revenue on
the combined statements of operations.
 
  Income Taxes
 
     ASK is an S corporation for income tax purposes and, accordingly, any
income tax liabilities are the responsibility of the stockholders. For purposes
of these combined financial statements, no federal and state income taxes have
been provided for ASK. ASK's corporation status will terminate with the
effective date of the Merger discussed in Note 1.
 
     Deferred income taxes are provided for temporary differences in the
recognition of revenues and expenses for income tax and financial reporting
purposes for DLX and PRM. Temporary differences result primarily from various
accruals and reserves being deductible for tax purposes in different periods.
 
  Concentration of Credit Risk
 
     Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentration
of credit risk, as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS)
No. 105, consist primarily of trade accounts receivable. The Company's customers
are concentrated in the Western-Pacific states and the primary customers are
healthcare institutions. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful
accounts based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers,
historical trends, and other information.

12.  SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMER:
 
     In 1994 and 1995, the Company had one customer that accounted for 15% and
16%, respectively, of combined revenues.
 
13.  PRO FORMA NET INCOME (UNAUDITED):
 
     Selling, general and administrative expenses for the periods presented
reflect compensation and related benefits that owners and certain key employees
received during the periods. These owners and key employees have agreed to
certain reductions in salaries and benefits in connection with the Merger.
 
     In connection with this merger, each stockholder has entered into a
three-year employment agreement with FYI which provides for set base salary,
participation in any future FYI incentive bonus plans, four-week paid vacations,
a car allowance, health benefits, and a two-year covenant-not-to-compete
following termination of such person's employment. The stockholders' employment
agreements provide for an aggregate base salary of $247,000.
 
     The unaudited pro forma data presents compensation at the level the
officers and owners of the Company have agreed to receive subsequent to the
Offering. In addition, the following pro forma data presents the provision for
income taxes as if the S corporation had been subject to federal and state
income taxes and adjusted for the impact of the compensation differential
discussed above.
 
14.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
 
     On January 26, 1996 the Company was acquired by FYI. In conjunction with
the Merger, the Company can make an additional distribution corresponding to the
increase in net stockholders' equity from June 30, 1995 to November 30, 1995,
not to exceed $200,000. The amount available for the additional distribution at
December 31, 1995, is $80,000. Had this transaction been recorded at December
31, 1995, the effect on the accompanying balance sheet would be a decrease in
total assets and stockholders' equity of $80,000, respectively.

                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
 
To Permanent Records, Inc.:
 
     We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Permanent Records, Inc.
(a Texas corporation) as of December 31, 1994 and 1995, and the related
statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 1995. These financial statements
are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
 
     We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
     In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of Permanent Records, Inc. as
of December 31, 1994 and 1995, and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
1.  BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION:
 
     The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of Permanent
Records, Inc. (the "Company"). The Company provides offsite active and inactive
storage and retrieval services, microfilming, and medical records release
services to its customers from its office in Fort Worth, Texas.
 
     The Company and its stockholders entered into a definitive agreement with
F.Y.I. Incorporated ("FYI") in October 1995, pursuant to which the Company will
merge with FYI (the "Merger"). All outstanding shares of the Company's common
stock will be exchanged for cash and shares of FYI's common stock concurrent
with the consummation of the initial public offering of the common stock of FYI.
 
2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
 
  Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
     The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original
maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are
carried at cost, which approximates market value.
 
  Property and Equipment
 
     Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using
the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.
 
  Revenue Recognition
 
     Revenue is recognized when services are rendered.
 
  Concentration of Credit Risk
 
     Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to
concentration of credit risk, as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 105, consist primarily of trade receivables.
 
     Trade receivables are primarily short-term receivables from healthcare
institutions in Northern Central Texas. The Company's management reviews
receivables for collectibility.
 
  Income Taxes
 
     The Company is a C corporation. Deferred income taxes are provided for
timing differences in the recognition of revenues and expenses for tax and
financial reporting purposes. Temporary differences result primarily from
accelerated depreciation for tax purposes, deferred contract revenues being
taxed when billed and various accruals and reserves being deductible for tax
purposes in different periods.

                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
 
To Cook and Staff, Inc.:
 
     We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of Cook and Staff,
Inc. (a California corporation) and Related Company as of December 31, 1994 and
1995, and the related combined statements of operations, stockholder's equity,
and cash flows for the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995. These
combined financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these combined
financial statements based on our audits.
 
     We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
     In our opinion, the combined financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the combined financial position of Cook and
Staff, Inc. and Related Company as of December 31, 1994 and 1995, and the
combined results of their operations and their combined cash flows for each of
the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

                     NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
1. BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION:
 
     The accompanying combined financial statements include the accounts of Cook
and Staff, Inc. and RAC Services, Inc. (the "Related Company", collectively the
"Company"). The Company provides litigation support services to its customers
from its offices in California.
 
     In June 1996, the Company and its stockholder intend to enter into a
definitive agreement with F.Y.I. Incorporated ("F.Y.I.") pursuant to which the
Company will sell selected assets to F.Y.I. (the "Acquisition").
 
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
 
  Basis of Presentation
 
     Cook and Staff, Inc. and Related Company are under common control. All
significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in combination.
 
  Fiscal Year-Ends
 
     RAC Services, Inc. has a December 31 year-end. Cook and Staff, Inc. has a
June 30 year-end. Cook and Staff, Inc. accounts and results for the three years
have been recast to a December 31 year-end. The accounts and results of RAC
Services, Inc., using a December 31 year-end, have been combined with the recast
December 31 year-end accounts and results of Cook and Staff, Inc. in the
accompanying combined financial statements for 1993, 1994, and 1995.
 
  Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
     The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original
maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are
carried at cost, which approximates market value.
 
  Property and Equipment
 
     Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using
accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets.
 
  Other Long-Lived Assets
 
     The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard No. 121 "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of" (SFAS 121), which established
accounting standards for the impairment of long-lived assets, certain
identifiable intangibles, and goodwill. Adoption is required in financial
statements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. The Company does
not expect the adoption of SFAS 121 would have any material effect on the
combined financial statements.
 
  Revenue Recognition
 
     Revenue is recognized when services are rendered to the Company's

  Use of Estimates
 
     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of certain assets and liabilities
and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements
and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
  Concentration of Credit Risk
 
     Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentration
of credit risk, as defined by SFAS No. 105, consist primarily of trade accounts
receivable. The Company's customers are concentrated in the Western United
States and the primary customers are insurance companies and legal institutions.
The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon factors
surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends, and other
information.

4. INCOME TAXES:
 
     The Company has elected S corporation status under the Internal Revenue
Code. In lieu of federal income taxes, the shareholder is taxed on the Company's
taxable income. Therefore, no provision or liability for federal income tax has
been included in the financial statements for the years ended December 31, 1993,
1994, and 1995. A deferred state tax liability exists primarily due to the cash
basis method of reporting for income tax purposes. The deferred tax liability
represents the State of California S corporation tax on the net temporary
differences.
 
     State income taxes are as follows at December 31:

  Litigation
 
     The Company is, from time to time, a party to litigation arising in the
normal course of its business, most of which involves claims for workers'
compensation incurred in connection with its operations. Management believes
that none of these actions will have a material adverse effect on the financial
position or results of operations of the Company.

7. SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMER:
 
     The Company has two litigation support customer relationships which
combined billings to the respective customer branches and their independent
vendor attorneys were approximately 25% and 12% for the year ended December 31,
1995, 23% and 12% for the year ended December 31, 1994, and 11% and 12% for the
year ended December 31, 1993.
 
8. PRO FORMA NET INCOME (UNAUDITED):
 
     Selling, general, and administrative expenses for the periods presented
reflect compensation and related benefits that owners and certain key employees
received during the periods. These owners and key employees have agreed to
certain reductions in salaries and benefits in connection with the Acquisition.
 
     The unaudited pro forma data present compensation at the level the officers
and owners of the Company have agreed to receive subsequent to the Acquisition.
In addition, the pro forma data present the incremental provision for income
taxes as if the Company had been subject to federal and state income taxes and
adjusted for the impact of the compensation differential discussed above.

     We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of B & B Information and
Image Management, Inc. (an S Corporation) as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and
the related statements of income, stockholder's equity, and cash flows for the
years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.
 
     We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
     In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of B & B Information and Image
Management, Inc. as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
NOTE 1. THE COMPANY AND ITS SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
     B & B Information and Image Management, Inc. ("Company") is in the
principal business of converting paper documents into electronic and microfilm
images for customers in the Mid-Atlantic region.
 
     Significant accounting policies not disclosed elsewhere in the financial
statements are as follows:
 
     Depreciation:
 
          Depreciation is provided on the straight-line method over the
     estimated useful lives of the related assets.
 
     Amortization:
 
          Debt issuance costs are being amortized on the straight-line method
     over the terms of the related debt.
 
     Income taxes:
 
          The Company has elected to be treated as a Small Business Corporation
     (an S Corporation) under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. The
     financial statements do not include a provision for income taxes since
     taxable income is allocated to and reported directly by the shareholder.
 
     Revenue recognition:
 
          Microfilm processing revenue is recognized on a
     percentage-of-completion basis. Service contract revenue is recognized on a
     straight-line basis over the terms of the individual service contracts.
     Revenue from the sale of supplies and equipment is recognized upon
     shipment.
 
     Credit risk:
 
          The Company has deposits in a financial institution in excess of
     amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
 
     Estimates:
 
          The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
     accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
     assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
     disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
     financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
     during the reporting period.
 
NOTE 2. INVENTORIES
 
     Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or
market, and include the following:

     During 1995, the Company obtained a $250,000 demand revolving line of
credit for short-term working capital financing which is limited to 80% of
eligible accounts receivable at the bank's prime rate plus 1%, expiring in

real estate and is guaranteed by the Company's shareholder. Borrowings on the
line of credit at December 31, 1995 were $50,000.
 
     The Industrial Revenue Bonds were issued to provide funds for the
construction of the Company's office and operating facility, for the purchase of
certain equipment to be used in that facility, and for certain related expenses.
All real estate, equipment, and other tangible property at the location are
pledged as collateral to the bond holders.

monthly installments of $12,500 plus interest at the bank's prime rate plus 1%,
maturing on December 31, 1997. During 1995, the Company borrowed $200,000 from a

loan. The new term loan is payable in 36 equal monthly installments of
principal, plus interest through April, 1998, and is collateralized by all
assets of the Company, excluding real estate, and is guaranteed by the Company's
shareholder.

covenants which, among other things, require the maintenance of certain
financial ratios. In addition, cross-default provisions exist among the bond
indenture and related agreements.
 
     Notes payable, vehicles and equipment have senior collateral rights to
certain property and equipment, excluding the facility and related land pledged
to the bondholders, and are subordinated to the term loan as to accounts

To the Board of Directors
Premier Document Management, Inc.
 
     We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheet of Premier Document
Management, Inc. and Affiliate as of December 31, 1995 and the related combined
statements of income, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the year then
ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audit.
 
     We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the combined financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
 
     In our opinion, the combined financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Premier Document
Management, Inc. and Affiliate as of December 31, 1995 and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTE 1 -- OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
     OPERATIONS -- Premier Document Management, Inc. and Affiliate (the
"Company") provides medical records reproduction and management services on
behalf of hospitals and medical clinics in the Pacific Northwest. The amount the
Company can charge requesting parties for reproduction services is regulated by
law. It operates out of facilities located throughout Washington and in San

wholly-owned subsidiary of F.Y.I. Incorporated (see Note 12).
 
     PRINCIPLES OF COMBINATION -- The combined financial statements include the
accounts of Premier Document Management, Inc. and PDM Services, Inc., an
affiliate controlled through common ownership. All material intercompany
transactions have been eliminated.
 
     USE OF ESTIMATES -- The preparation of the financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial
statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
 
     CASH EQUIVALENTS -- For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the
Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity
of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
 
     DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION -- Depreciation is provided using the
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets.
Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the
estimated useful lives of the related assets or the length of the lease,
whichever is less.
 
     INCOME TAXES -- Income taxes are provided for the effect of transactions
reported in the financial statements tax provision consists of taxes currently
due plus deferred taxes related to differences in the financial statement and
tax bases of certain assets and liabilities.

taxed as an S corporation. In lieu of corporate income taxes, the stockholders
of an S corporation are taxed on their proportionate share of taxable income. On
May 31, 1996, the Company merged with Premier Acquisition Corp. and ceased to be
an S corporation (see Note 12).
 
     INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- The accompanying combined statements of

on the same basis as the audited combined financial statements and, in the
opinion of management, include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation
for the periods presented.

     Deferred income taxes are computed based on temporary differences between
the financial statement and tax bases of certain assets and liabilities. The
Company has elected to prepare its income tax return using the cash method of
accounting. Accordingly, temporary differences relate to accrual basis assets
and liabilities as well as differences in accumulated depreciation. Gross
deferred income tax assets and liabilities are comprised of the following:

NOTE 6 -- RETIREMENT PLAN
 
     The Company sponsors a defined contribution employee retirement plan
qualified under IRC Section 401(k). The plan covers substantially all employees
18 years of age or older with one year of service. The Company makes annual
matching contributions to the plan ranging up to 1.5% of eligible participants'
compensation. Total pension expense for the year ended December 31, 1995 and the
three months ended March 31, 1996 (unaudited) and 1995 (unaudited) was $6,068,
$1,524 and $1,479, respectively. The Company may also make contributions that
are discretionary, as determined by the Board of Directors. No discretionary
contributions were made during 1995 or the first three months of 1996.
 
NOTE 7 -- COMMITMENTS
 
     The Company is obligated under operating lease agreements for three office
facilities. Future minimum lease payments under these leases for years ending

     Future minimum lease payments at March 31, 1996 were not materially
different from the amounts at December 31, 1995. The Company also leases office
space in San Jose, California for $500 per month. The lease may be terminated by
either party with 60 days notice.
 
     Rent expense for the year ended December 31, 1995 and three months ended
March 31, 1996 (unaudited) and 1995 (unaudited) was approximately $75,500,
$18,200 and $20,100, respectively.
 
NOTE 8 -- FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
     Notes payable to stockholder are carried at $34,944, bear interest at 4%,
and are payable on demand. Because of the related party nature of these
financial instruments, which allows for possible modification to their terms and
maturities, it is not practicable to estimate fair value.
 
NOTE 9 -- CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK AND MAJOR CUSTOMER
 
     CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK -- Financial instruments that potentially
subject the Company to credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents and
trade receivables. The Company places its temporary cash investments with major
financial institutions. At times, deposits may exceed federally insured limits.
The Company generally does not require collateral on trade receivables, however,
prepayment is required from customers whose outstanding balance exceeds 90 days.
Historically, credit related losses have not been significant.
 
     MAJOR CUSTOMER -- The Company receives more than ten percent of its revenue
from the State of Washington Department of Social and Human Services. Following
is a summary of the percentage of revenue earned and accounts receivable due
from this customer:

NOTE 10 -- CONTINGENCY
 
     The Company is a co-defendant in a lawsuit alleging improper disclosure of
an individual's medical records. The amount of damages has not been specified.
Defense of the claim has been assumed by the Company's insurance carrier.
Management believes the suit is without merit and will not have a material
effect on the Company's financial position.
 
NOTE 11 -- PRIOR PERIOD ADJUSTMENT
 
     Management has determined that accrued vacation expense was not recorded in
prior years. Accrual of this liability, net of tax, resulted in a $12,000
decrease in retained earnings at December 31, 1994.
 
NOTE 12 -- SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
 
     COMPANY MERGER -- On May 31, 1996, the Company merged with Premier
Acquisition Corp. ("Premier"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of F.Y.I. Incorporated
("F.Y.I."). Under the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, Company
stockholders received consideration consisting of cash and shares of F.Y.I.
common stock. Additional consideration is contingent on the performance of
Premier during the eight month period ended December 31, 1996.
 
     In connection with the merger, the Company President and majority
stockholder executed a five year noncompetition agreement with Premier and
F.Y.I. All other stockholders executed similar agreements with terms of three
years. The majority stockholder also entered into a three year employment
agreement as President of Premier.
 
  EXECUTIVE BONUS -- On May 30, 1996, the Company paid a $225,000 bonus to its
President.

                    UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
     These pro forma combined financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the historical financial statements of the Founding Companies Combined,
F.Y.I. Incorporated financial statements and the individual Founding Company
financial statements. See "Index to Financial Statements."
 
     F.Y.I. acquired, simultaneously with and as a condition to the closing of
the Offering in January 1996, Imagent, Researchers, Recordex, DPAS, Leonard,
Deliverex and Permanent Records. The Acquisitions have been accounted for in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") as a
combination of the Founding Companies at historical cost, because the Founding
Companies' stockholders transferred assets to F.Y.I. in exchange for Common
Stock and cash simultaneously with F.Y.I.'s initial public offering, the nature
of future operations of the Company will be substantially identical to the
combined operations of the Founding Companies, and no former stockholder group
of any of the Founding Companies obtained a majority of the outstanding voting
shares of the Company. Accordingly, historical financial statements of these
Founding Companies have been combined throughout all relevant periods as if the
Founding Companies had always been members of the same operating group. However,
since the Founding Companies were not under common control or management,
historical combined results may not be comparable to, or indicative of, future
performance. For accounting purposes the acquisitions of the Founding Companies
were recorded by the Company as of January 31, 1996.
 
     In May 1996, the Company acquired B&B Information and Image Management,
Inc. ("B&B") and Premier Document Management, Inc. and PDM Services, Inc.
("Premier"). In June 1996, the Company acquired all of the non-cash assets of
Robert A. Cook and Staff, Inc. and RAC Services, Inc. ("Cook"). All of the new
acquisitions are accounted for under the purchase method of accounting.
 
     The following unaudited pro forma financial statements of F.Y.I.
Incorporated and subsidiaries gives effect to: (i) the acquisitions of B&B,
Premier and Cook and (ii) the acquisition of the Founding Companies for the
periods prior to the consummation of the Acquisitions (January 31, 1996).
 
     The unaudited pro forma balance sheet is based upon:
 
          (i) the unaudited consolidated balance sheet of F.Y.I. as of March 31,
     1996; and
 
          (ii) the unaudited balance sheet of B&B and Premier purchased during
     May 1996 and Cook purchased during June 1996 as if the acquisitions had
     occurred on March 31, 1996.
 
     The unaudited pro forma statement of operations for the three months ended
March 31, 1996 is based upon:
 
          (i) the unaudited statement of operations of F.Y.I. for the period
     from February 1, 1996 to March 31, 1996 combined with the unaudited
     statement of operations for the Founding Companies for the one month ended
     January 31, 1996;
 
          (ii) the unaudited statement of operations for B&B, Premier and Cook
     from January 1, 1996 to March 31, 1996.
 
     The unaudited pro forma statement of operations for the year ended December
31, 1995 is based upon:
 
          (i) the audited combined financial statements of the Founding
     Companies for the year ended December 31, 1995; and
 
          (ii) the audited financial statements of B&B, Premier and Cook for the
     year ended December 31, 1995.
 
     The pro forma financial statements have been prepared based upon certain
assumptions and include all adjustments as detailed in the Notes to Pro Forma
Financial Statements.

     The Company has preliminarily analyzed the savings that it expects to be
realized by consolidating certain general and administrative functions,
including reductions in accounting, audit, insurance and benefit plan expenses.
In addition, the Company anticipates that it will realize significant benefits
from: (i) the reduction in interest payments related to the prepayment of
outstanding Founding Company debt; (ii) its ability to borrow at lower interest
rates than the Founding Companies; and (iii) the interest earned on the net
proceeds of the Offering remaining after payment of the expenses of the Offering
and the cash portion of the consideration for the Founding Companies. The
Company has not and cannot quantify these savings at the present time. These
savings will be offset by the costs of being a public company and the
incremental increase in costs related to the Company's new management. However,
these costs, like the savings that they offset, cannot be quantified accurately.
Accordingly, neither the anticipated savings nor the anticipated costs have been
included in the pro forma financial information of F.Y.I. Incorporated and
Subsidiaries for the periods prior to the acquisition of the Founding Companies.
 
     The pro forma financial data does not purport to represent what the
Company's financial position or results of operations would actually have been
if such transaction in fact had occurred on those dates or to project the
Company's financial position or results of operations for any future period.

                    NOTES TO PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
     THE PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS TO THE ACCOMPANYING BALANCE SHEET AS OF MARCH 31,
1996 ARE SUMMARIZED AS BELOW:
 
A.   To record the purchase of B&B, Premier and Cook assets and liabilities
     including the preliminary allocation of the purchase price (including
     estimated direct costs) and the disbursement of $15,522,000 cash and
     issuance of 253,252 shares of Common Stock to consummate the acquisitions.
 
     The estimated fair market values reflected below are based on preliminary
     estimates and assumptions and are subject to revision. In management's
     opinion, the preliminary allocation is not expected to be materially
     different than the final allocation. The fair market value of the shares of
     Common Stock used in calculating the Consideration Paid was $13.65 which is
     based on a 35% discount from the average trading price of the Common Stock
     based on the length and type of restrictions in the purchase agreements.

        <S>                                                                <C>
        Consideration Paid...............................................  18,979,000
        Estimated Fair Value of Assets...................................   8,060,000
        Estimated Fair Value of Liabilities..............................   5,754,000
        Goodwill.........................................................  16,673,000
</TABLE>
 
     All intangibles are considered enterprise goodwill. Based on the historical
     profitability of the purchased companies and the trends in the legal,
     healthcare and other industries to outsource document management functions
     further in the foreseeable future, the enterprise goodwill will be
     amortized over a period of 30 years. The carrying value of intangible
     assets will be reviewed at each reporting period on an acquisition by
     acquisition basis to determine if facts and circumstances exist which would
     suggest that the intangible assets may be impaired or that the amortization
     period needs to be modified.
 
     THE PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS TO THE ACCOMPANYING STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS ARE
SUMMARIZED BELOW:
 
B.   Adjustment to depreciation and amortization expense related to the
     preliminary purchase price allocations described above.
 
C.   To record the difference between the compensation paid to the stockholders
     of B&B and Premier for the historical periods presented and the F.Y.I.
     employment contract compensation to the stockholders.
 
D.   Adjustment of the federal and state income tax provisions based on the pro
     forma combined operations.
 
E.   To adjust the weighted average shares outstanding to reflect the pro forma
     effect of the shares issued for the purchase of B&B and Premier.
 
F.   To record the difference between the compensation paid to the stockholders'
     of the Founding Companies and the F.Y.I. employment contract compensation
     for the one month ended January 31, 1996 and the year ended December 31,
     1995.
 
G.   Adjustment of the federal and state income tax provisions based on the pro
     forma combined operations of F.Y.I. and the Founding Companies.
 
H.   To record interest expense on the $8,150,000 term debt issued for the
     purchase of Cook. Proceeds remaining from the Offering were used for the
     purchase of B&B and Premier, and a portion of Cook.

                               MANNER OF OFFERING
 
     This Prospectus, as appropriately amended or supplemented, may be used from
time to time principally by persons who have received shares of Common Stock in
acquisitions made by the Company of other businesses or properties, or their
transferees, and who wish to offer and sell such Shares (such persons are herein
referred to as the "Selling Shareholder" or "Selling Shareholders") in
transactions in which they and any broker-dealer through whom such Shares are
sold may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act.
The Company will receive none of the proceeds from any such sales. There
presently are no arrangements or understandings, formal or informal, pertaining
to the distribution of the Shares described herein. Upon the Company being
notified by a Selling Shareholder that any material arrangement has been entered
into with a broker-dealer from the sale of Shares bought through a block trade,
special offering, exchange distribution or secondary distribution, a
supplemented Prospectus will be filed, pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the
Securities Act, setting forth; (i) the name of each Selling Shareholder and the
participating broker-dealer(s), (ii) the number of Shares involved, (iii) the
price at which the Shares were sold, (iv) the commissions paid or the discounts
allowed to such broker-dealer(s), where applicable, (v) that such
broker-dealer(s) did not conduct any investigation to verify the information set
out in this Prospectus and (vi) other facts material to the transaction.
 
     Selling Shareholders may sell the Shares being offered hereby from time to
time in transactions (which may involve crosses and block transactions) on the
Nasdaq National Market in negotiated transactions or otherwise, at market prices
prevailing at the time of the sale or at negotiated prices. Selling Shareholders
may sell some or all of the shares in transactions involving broker-dealers, who
may act solely as agent and/or may acquire Shares as principal. Broker-dealers
participating in such transactions as agent may receive commissions from Selling
Shareholders (and, if they act as agent for the purchaser of such Shares, from
such purchaser), such commissions computed in appropriate cases in accordance
with the applicable rules of the Nasdaq National Market, which commissions may
be at negotiated rates where permissible under such rules. Participating
broker-dealers may agree with Selling Shareholders to sell a specified number of
Shares at a stipulated price per share and, to the extent such broker-dealer is
unable to do so acting as an agent for Selling Shareholders, to purchase as
principal any unsold Shares at the price required to fulfill the broker-dealer's
commitment to Selling Shareholders. In addition or alternatively, Shares may be
sold by Selling Shareholders and/or by or through other broker-dealers in
special offerings, exchange distributions or secondary distributions pursuant to
and in compliance with the governing rules of the Nasdaq National Market.
Broker-dealers who acquire Shares as principal may thereafter resell such Shares
from time to time in transactions (which may involve crosses and block
transactions and which may involve sales to or through other broker-dealers,
including transactions of the nature described in the preceding two sentences)
on the Nasdaq National Market, in negotiated transactions or otherwise, at
market prices prevailing at the time of sale or at negotiated prices, and in
connection with such resales may pay to or receive commissions from the purchase
of such Shares.
 
     The Company may agree to indemnify each Selling Shareholder as an
underwriter under the Securities Act against certain liabilities, including
liabilities arising under the Securities Act. Each Selling Shareholder may
indemnify any broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving sales of
the Shares against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the
Securities Act.
