                               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. See "Risk
Factors" for a discussion of certain risks associated with an investment in the
Common Stock. Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms "Company" and
"F.Y.I." each refer to F.Y.I. Incorporated, a Delaware corporation, and its
subsidiaries and predecessors. Unless otherwise indicated, all share and
financial information set forth herein assumes no exercise of the Underwriters'
over-allotment option. Statements throughout this Prospectus that state the
Company's or management's intentions, hopes, beliefs, expectations, strategies,
predictions or any other variations thereof or comparable phraseology of the
Company's future activities or other future events or conditions are
forward-looking statements. It is important to note that the Company's actual
results or activities and actual events or conditions could differ materially
from those projected in such forward-looking statements. Additional information
concerning factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from
those in the forward-looking statements is contained under "Risk Factors."
 
                                  THE COMPANY
 
     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. The Company's primary strategy is to consolidate the highly
fragmented document management services industry through acquisitions. In
January 1996, F.Y.I. acquired, simultaneously with the closing of its initial
public offering (the "IPO"), seven document management services businesses (the
"Founding Companies"). Since the IPO, the Company has acquired 15 additional
companies (the "Subsequent Acquisitions"). As a result of the Subsequent
Acquisitions combined with internal growth, the Company's revenue has increased
from $35.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 to $49.9 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 ($65.0 million on a pro forma
basis, assuming all significant acquisitions were completed on January 1, 1996).
The Company intends to continue to aggressively pursue strategic acquisitions in
existing and new markets, cross-sell its full range of services to its current
customer base and expand the marketing of its services to new customers.
 
     An estimated four trillion documents are generated annually in the United
States. The Company's three targeted client segments generate large volumes of
documents and require specialized processing, distribution, storage and
retrieval of these documents and the information they contain. The Company
believes that these client segments will continue to increase their outsourcing
of document management services in order to maintain their focus on core
operating competencies and revenue generating activities, reduce fixed costs,
including labor and equipment costs, and gain access to new technologies without
incurring the expense and risk of near-term obsolescence of such technologies.
 
     While the document management requirements of each target client segment
require relatively unique and specialized services, the Company offers document
management services that are transferable across client segments, such as: (i)
document and data conversion services, including microfilm and microfiche
services and electronic imaging services; (ii) records management services,
namely active storage and maintenance of documents and files and archival
storage of inactive documents; and (iii) database management and related
services, including data entry, direct mail and fulfillment services. In
addition, in order to accommodate the document management needs of targeted
client segments, the Company also offers industry specific services, such as:
(i) medical records release services, namely processing requests for patients'
medical records from physicians, insurers, attorneys, healthcare institutions
and individuals; and (ii) litigation support services. The Company also derives
revenue from the sale of certain micrographic and business imaging products.
 
     The Company believes that there are significant opportunities to
consolidate the capabilities and resources of a number of existing document
management services businesses with the intent of providing customers with a
single source document management solution. Accordingly, the Company is pursuing
a "fill-in-the-grid" strategy aimed at providing comprehensive document
management services based on the
 
                                        3
<PAGE>   5
 
demands of the given geographical market. The Company has implemented an
aggressive, three-tiered acquisition program consisting of "beachhead
acquisitions" to enter additional targeted markets, "service expansion
acquisitions" to acquire additional service capabilities within such markets and
"tuck-in" acquisitions to gain market share. The Company believes that it will
continue to be an attractive acquiror of other document management services
companies due to its strategy of retaining selected owners and management of
acquired companies, its access to growth capital and its ability to offer
sellers cash for their business as well as an ongoing equity stake in the
Company.
 
     The Company believes that the consolidation of document management services
businesses will provide it with a significant competitive advantage over
existing smaller competitors. As the Company gains critical mass in certain
geographic markets, it expects to be able to capitalize on its existing client
relationships, technical expertise, additional operating efficiencies, enhanced
marketing initiatives and national account programs to vertically integrate by
expanding the services offered to each of its client segments and 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.
 
LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY; RISKS OF INTEGRATION; ABILITY TO MANAGE GROWTH
 
     F.Y.I. was founded in September 1994 and conducted no operations prior to
the consummation of the IPO. F.Y.I. acquired the Founding Companies
simultaneously with the closing of the IPO and has acquired 15 additional
companies since that time (together with the Founding Companies, the "Operating
Companies"). Prior to their acquisition, these companies operated as separate
independent entities. Currently, the Company has a decentralized financial
reporting system and 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. F.Y.I.'s management group has been assembled recently and had 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 fully 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 recently assembled management group will
effectively be able to direct the Company through a period of significant
growth. In addition, no assurance can be given that the Company's current
systems will be adequate for its future needs or that the Company will be
successful in implementing new systems. See "The Company,"
"Business -- Acquisition Strategy" 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 these businesses, 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 that 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: (i) adverse short-term effects on the Company's
reported operating results; (ii) diversion of management's attention; (iii)
dependence on retention, hiring and training of key personnel; (iv) risks
associated with unanticipated problems or legal liabilities; and (v)
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. 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 Strategy."
 
     The Company is regularly in discussions with additional acquisition
candidates and may from time to time enter into letters of intent with respect
to the acquisition of such businesses. No assurance can be given,
 
                                        7
<PAGE>   9
 
however, that the Company will acquire any additional businesses. See "The
Company -- Subsequent Acquisitions" and "Business -- Acquisition Strategy."
 
NEED FOR ADDITIONAL FINANCING TO CONTINUE ACQUISITION STRATEGY
 
     The Company currently intends to finance future acquisitions by using cash
and its Common Stock for all or a portion of the consideration to be paid. The
Company filed a shelf registration statement (the "Acquisition Shelf") with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") relating to the separate
offering of up to 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock to be used as consideration
for acquisitions effected by the Company, of which 1,143,265 shares of Common
Stock were available as of December 11, 1996. In the event that the Company's
Common Stock does not maintain sufficient value, or potential acquisition
candidates are 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.
As of December 11, 1996, the availability under the Line of Credit was $2.0
million for working capital and $8.8 million for acquisitions. There can be no
assurance, however, that funds available under the 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 Strategy."
 
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 revenue is 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. Such fluctuations in operating results may adversely affect
the market price of the Company's Common Stock. The market price for the
Company's shares may also fluctuate in response to material announcements by the
Company or significant clients or competitors of the Company, changes in the
economic or other conditions impacting the Company's targeted client segments or
changes in general economic conditions. Further, the securities markets have
experienced significant price and volume fluctuations from time to time that
have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of
particular companies. These broad fluctuations may adversely affect the market
price of the Common Stock. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations -- Fluctuations in Quarterly
Results of Operations."
 
DEPENDENCE ON CERTAIN CLIENT SEGMENTS AND TECHNOLOGY
 
     The Company derives its revenue 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. The document
management services industry is characterized by technological change, evolving
customer needs and emerging technical standards. 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
 
                                        8
<PAGE>   10
 
to use any such technologies, that it will be able to effectively implement such
technologies on a cost-effective or timely 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."
 
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
targeted 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 and 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 new companies,
and its results of operations may be adversely affected. See "Business --
Competition."
 
RELIANCE ON KEY PERSONNEL
 
     The Company's operations are dependent on the continued efforts of its
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 person 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
Company has established procedures intended to prevent any unauthorized
disclosure of confidential information and, in some cases, has contractually
limited its potential liability for unauthorized disclosure of such information,
there can be no assurance that unauthorized disclosures will not result in
material liability to the Company.
 
INCREASE IN MINIMUM WAGE
 
     As of October 1, 1996, the federal minimum wage increased to $4.75 an hour.
The second phase of the increase will be implemented on September 1, 1997,
bringing the federal minimum wage to $5.15 an hour. In addition, California and
other states have increased or may increase their minimum wage above the federal
minimum. A significant number of the Company's employees earn slightly above the
minimum wage and, therefore, the Company may have to increase salaries to remain
competitive. Accordingly, the Company's results of operations may be adversely
affected.
 
CONTROL BY MANAGEMENT
 
     Following the completion of this Offering, the directors and executive
officers of the Company will beneficially own approximately 20.3% of the then
outstanding shares of Common Stock (19.5% if the Underwriters' over-allotment
option is exercised in full) 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 of Directors and to approve
or disapprove any matter submitted to a vote of stockholders. See "Principal and
Selling 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. After the completion of this Offering, there will be
8,171,910 shares of Common Stock outstanding. The 2,420,000 shares offered
hereby will be, and the 2,185,000 shares sold in the IPO are, freely tradable
without restriction unless acquired by
 
                                        9
<PAGE>   11
 
affiliates of the Company. Of such 8,171,910 shares, 2,664,615 shares, together
with 165,000 shares of Common Stock currently issuable upon exercise of
outstanding warrants, have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended (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 under the Securities Act. Holders of all of
such unregistered shares, however, have certain registration rights with respect
to such shares.
 
     The Company has agreed not to sell or otherwise dispose of any shares of
Common Stock for a period of 90 days from the date of this Offering without the
prior written consent of Montgomery Securities, except that the Company may
issue Common Stock in connection with acquisitions or upon the exercise of
options. In addition, the former owners of the Founding Companies and the
initial stockholders of the Company (which together include the Selling
Stockholders) have agreed with the Company that they will not sell any of their
shares for a period of two years after January 26, 1996 (other than certain
sales registered under the Securities Act and a limited ability to pledge such
shares as collateral). The Company has agreed not to waive such restriction for
a period of 90 days from the date of this Offering without the prior written
consent of Montgomery Securities. Directors of the Company who are not subject
to these contractual restrictions have agreed not to contract to sell or
otherwise sell or dispose of any of their Common Stock for a period of 90 days
after the date of this Prospectus without the prior written consent of
Montgomery Securities.
 
     The Company issued 856,735 shares of Common Stock as partial consideration
for acquisitions completed since the IPO. Such 856,735 shares were registered
under the Acquisition Shelf and are freely tradable (except for 36,670 shares
held by a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company) unless acquired by parties to
the acquisition or affiliates of such parties, other than the issuer, in which
case they may be sold pursuant to Rule 145 under the Securities Act. In
addition, these shares are subject to contractual restrictions on resale which
generally expire two years from the date of issuance.
 
     The Company has reserved for issuance under the Company's 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 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. As of December 11, 1996, the Company had options to purchase
615,080 shares of Common Stock outstanding under the Plan. See "Principal and
Selling Stockholders" and "Shares Eligible for Future Sale."
 
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."
 
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
 
     This Prospectus contains certain forward-looking statements within the
meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), which are intended to be
covered by the safe harbors created thereby. Investors are cautioned that all
forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainty, including without
limitation, the sufficiency of the Company's working capital and the ability of
the Company to realize benefits from consolidating certain general and
administrative functions, to continue its aggressive acquisition program, to
retain management, to implement its focused business strategy to expand its
document management services geographically, to attract customers from other
businesses, to increase revenue by cross-selling services and to successfully
defend itself in ongoing and future litigation. Although the Company believes
that the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements contained herein
are reasonable, any of the assumptions could be inaccurate, and, therefore,
there can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements included in this
Prospectus will prove to be accurate. In light of the significant uncertainties
inherent in the forward-looking statements included herein, the inclusion of
such information should not be regarded as a representation by the Company or
any other person that the objectives and plans of the Company will be achieved.

                                  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 IPO, F.Y.I. did not conduct any operations.
F.Y.I. acquired, simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO, the following
seven established businesses: Imagent Corporation (together with Mobile
Information Services Corporation, "Imagent"); Melanson & Associates, Inc. d/b/a
Researchers (together with Bay Area Micrographics, "Researchers"); Recordex
Services, Inc. ("Recordex"); C.&T. Management Services, Inc. d/b/a DPAS
(together with Qualidata, Inc., "DPAS"); Leonard Archives, Inc. ("Leonard");
Deliverex, Incorporated (together with ASK Record Management, "Deliverex"); and
Permanent Records, Inc. ("Permanent Records"), which are collectively referred
to as the "Founding Companies." See "Certain Transactions."

northeastern and mid-atlantic United States. Founded in 1969, Imagent's three
primary lines of business include: (i) the distribution of microfilm and
business imaging supplies; (ii) microfilm processing; and (iii) business
services, including microfilming, database creation and management, electronic
imaging, data entry and microfilm storage and research services. A large number
of Imagent's microfilm processing clients are banks. Imagent's business services
segment, which is its fastest growing business segment, provides services to
financial, administrative and legal departments of a wide variety of companies.
Imagent is headquartered in Baltimore and had 1995 revenue of approximately
$13.5 million.
 
     Researchers. Researchers provides litigation support services to law firms,

personal injury litigation. Founded in 1975, Researchers is a significant
provider of outsourced litigation support in California and has provided
services to many of the largest law firms in the State. Although Researchers'
business is primarily project driven, a majority of its 1995 revenue has been
generated by clients who were clients in 1994. Researchers is headquartered in
San Francisco and had 1995 revenue of approximately $9.9 million.
 
     Recordex. Recordex provides medical records release services to over 150

clients nationwide. Database services include: (i) document conversion; (ii)
customized data capture (manually or through scanning or other electronic
means); (iii) database creation, management and analysis; and (iv) certain
direct mail services. DPAS also provides remittance processing services as an
outsourcing option for the receivables function of its corporate clients. Such
services include receiving and processing credit card payments, encoding checks
and depositing payments, and certain other mailing-related activities.
Headquartered in San Francisco, DPAS was founded in 1961. DPAS had 1995 revenue
of approximately $5.4 million.
 
     Leonard. Leonard provides records storage, retrieval and processing
services to over 30 hospitals and 100 medical facilities, as well as to a wide
variety of corporate clients in southern Michigan and northern Ohio. Founded in
1888 as a moving and storage company, Leonard entered the records storage
business in 1968. Leonard's services include: (i) active medical, financial and
legal records storage; (ii) archival storage of

<PAGE>   13
 
semi-active and inactive documents; (iii) environmental vault storage of
magnetic and micrographic media; (iv) disaster recovery services; and (v)
document destruction. Leonard provides document management services to a wide
variety of corporate clients, including Ford Motor Company, Chrysler Corporation

approximately $5.9 million.
 
     Deliverex. Deliverex provides active medical records storage, retrieval and
processing services to 27 hospitals and medical facilities in the San Jose and
greater San Francisco Bay areas, including the Department of Veterans
Affairs -- Palo Alto (the "VA"), Stanford Health Services, Columbia/Good
Samaritan Hospital, Summit Medical Center and Santa Clara Valley Medical Center.
Founded in 1973, Deliverex offers off-site management of medical records,
including: (i) filling of records requests; (ii) extracting key pages within
minutes for transmission to hospitals via facsimile for emergency cases; (iii)
computerized tracking of medical records to their destinations; (iv) file system
conversion; (v) storage; and (vi) purging of files on a regular basis. In
addition, Deliverex is currently utilizing a system in which it electronically
images the most frequently used pages of a medical file so that it can provide

     Permanent Records. Permanent Records provides a wide range of document
management outsourcing service for its hospital, clinic and physician clients,
including: (i) on-site handling of medical records; (ii) off-site active and
inactive storage and retrieval services; (iii) microfilming; and (iv) medical
records release services. These services are provided to over 50 hospitals in
the Dallas/Fort Worth area, including Columbia/HCA Healthcare Systems and the
Harris and Irving healthcare systems. Founded in 1977, Permanent Records had

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

retained earnings of an S corporation, upon which taxes have been paid by the
stockholders. In addition, prior to the closing of the IPO, 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 were 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 IPO, the Company repaid approximately
$3,349,000 of third party indebtedness assumed by the Company in the
acquisitions of the Founding Companies, virtually all of which was guaranteed by
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 IPO was approximately $4,124,000.

                                USE OF PROCEEDS
 
     The net proceeds to the Company from the sale of the 2,000,000 shares of
Common Stock offered by the Company hereby, after deducting underwriting
discount and estimated offering expenses, are expected to be approximately $37.3
million (approximately $44.1 million if the Underwriters' over-allotment option
is exercised in full). The Company will not receive any proceeds from the sale
of shares of Common Stock by the Selling Stockholders. The Company expects to
use a portion of the remaining net proceeds to repay the outstanding balance on
its Line of Credit. As of December 11, 1996, the amount outstanding under the
Line of Credit was $21.8 million. Interest on loans outstanding under the Line
of Credit is, at the Company's option, payable at the prime rate in effect from
time to time plus 1.5% or at a Eurodollar rate plus 3.0%. The portion of the
Line of Credit allocated for acquisitions permits drawdowns until October 15,
1997, and any amount outstanding on that date matures at various times from
January 1998 through April 2001. The remaining net proceeds will be used for
general corporate purposes, which are expected to include additional
acquisitions. See "Risk Factors" and "The Company -- Subsequent Acquisitions."

                                DIVIDEND POLICY
 
     The Company does not anticipate paying any cash dividends on its Common
Stock in the foreseeable future and 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
and other factors that the Company's Board of Directors deems relevant. In
addition, the Line of Credit prohibits the payment of dividends by the Company
without the lender's consent.

                            SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA
 
     F.Y.I. acquired, simultaneously with and as a condition to the closing of
the IPO, the Founding Companies. The Acquisitions have been accounted for in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") as a
combination of the Founding Companies at historical cost. 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 nine months ended September 30, 1996
have been derived from the Consolidated Financial Statements of F.Y.I.
Incorporated and Subsidiaries that have been audited by Arthur Andersen LLP and
that appear elsewhere in this Prospectus. The Selected Financial Data for the
nine months ended September 30, 1995 have been derived from the unaudited
Supplemental Data presented in the Consolidated Financial Statements of F.Y.I.
Incorporated and Subsidiaries included elsewhere in this Prospectus. The
Selected Financial Data for the years ended December 31, 1993, 1994 and 1995 and
for the one month ended January 31, 1996 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, 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. In addition, the Selected Financial Data are based on
available information and certain assumptions described in the footnotes set
forth below, all of which the Company believes are reasonable. The data relating
to the combined Founding Companies, Supplemental Data and pro forma information
are provided for informational purposes only and do 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 are they 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

December 31, 1992 have been derived from audited financial statements not
included 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 financial
statements of the Company and the related notes thereto and "Selected Financial
Data" appearing elsewhere in this Prospectus. Additional information concerning
factors that could cause results to differ materially from those in the
forward-looking statements is contained under the section "Risk Factors."
 
INTRODUCTION
 
     F.Y.I. was founded in September 1994 to create a national, single source
provider of document management services. In January 1996, F.Y.I. acquired,
simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Founding Companies. The
Acquisitions have been accounted for in accordance with GAAP as a combination of
the Founding Companies at historical cost, and January 31, 1996 has been used as
the effective date of the Acquisitions. Between September 1994 and the
consummation of the IPO, F.Y.I. did not conduct any operations. Accordingly, the
actual operating results of the Company included in the Statement of Operations
for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 represent only the eight months of
operations subsequent to the consummation of the Acquisitions and the IPO.
During the period prior to the IPO, F.Y.I. incurred various legal, accounting,
marketing, travel and other costs in connection with the Acquisitions and the
IPO which were funded by the issuance of equity securities. Additional costs
associated with the Acquisitions and the IPO were paid with proceeds of the IPO.
 
     Subsequent to the IPO and through September 30, 1996, the Company acquired
13 additional document management businesses. All of these Subsequent
Acquisitions have been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.
The results of operations for these Subsequent Acquisitions are reflected in the
Company's financial statements based upon their individual acquisition dates.
 
     Supplemental Statement of Operations Data represent the combined results
of: (i) the Founding Companies for the one month of operations prior to the
consummation of the Acquisitions and the IPO and (ii) F.Y.I. Incorporated and
Subsidiaries for the eight months of operations subsequent to the consummation
of the Acquisitions and the IPO. Such data are presented and discussed herein in
order to present the results of the Company since the consummation of the IPO
compared to the results of the combined Founding Companies for periods prior to
the IPO. The Supplemental Data are provided for information purposes only and do
not purport to present the results of operations of the Company had the
transactions assumed therein occurred on or as of the dates indicated. The
Founding Companies were not under common control or management. Accordingly,
such historical combined results may not be comparable to, or indicative of,
future performance.
 
     The Company's revenue is classified as service revenue, product revenue and
other revenue. Service revenue relates to: (i) document and data conversion
services; (ii) records management services; (iii) database management and
related services; (iv) medical records release of information services; and (v)
litigation support services. Product revenue represents sales of micrographic
and business imaging supplies and equipment, 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 compensation and benefits to
non-administrative employees, occupancy costs, equipment costs and supplies, and
also includes the costs associated with other revenue discussed above. Cost of
products sold relates to micrographics and business imaging supplies and
equipment.
 
     Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") consist primarily of
compensation and related benefits to the sales and marketing, executive
management, accounting, human resources and other administrative employees of
the Company, other sales and marketing costs, communications costs, insurance
costs and legal and accounting professional fees. SG&A subsequent to the IPO
include the costs of being a public company and the Company's executive
management team.

THE COMPANY
 
     The Company had conducted no significant operations from its inception
through the IPO 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.
 
     NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED
     SEPTEMBER 30, 1995
 
     For the nine months ended September 30, 1996, revenue was $46.0 million,
gross profit was $15.7 million, operating income was $4.5 million and net income
was $2.6 million. As previously mentioned, F.Y.I. had no operations until
February 1996. For further discussion of supplemental operations for the nine
months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, see "-- Supplemental."
 
     LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
     As of September 30, 1996, the Company had $5.0 million of working capital
and $3.3 million of cash. Cash flows provided by operating activities for the
nine months ended September 30, 1996 were $1.4 million. Cash used for investing
activities was $29.7 million, as the Company paid $27.4 million for
acquisitions, net of cash acquired. Cash provided by financing activities was
$31.6 million. The Company raised $22.9 million in the IPO, net of underwriting
discount and other costs associated with the IPO. The Company assumed $8.5
million of debt in the acquisitions of the Founding Companies and subsequently
retired all of this debt with the proceeds of the IPO, with the exception of
approximately $0.4 million of debt with favorable interest rates and capital
lease obligations of approximately $0.4 million. In April 1996, the Company
negotiated a $35.0 million Line of Credit (see Note 8 of the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements of F.Y.I. Incorporated and Subsidiaries). The
Company paid $1.6 million in costs to secure this financing. As of September 30,
1996, the Company had borrowed $17.6 million under the Line of Credit to help
fund the acquisition program. The Company assumed $2.9 million of debt in the
Subsequent Acquisitions and retired $0.4 million of such debt. The assumed debt
remaining has interest rates more favorable than the Company's credit facility.
 
     In the nine months ended September 30, 1995, the Company raised $0.1
million through the sale of preferred stock. During this period, the Company
spent $0.3 million in activities related to the IPO and the Acquisitions and
ended the period with $0.5 million in cash. The Company had no operations during
this period.
 
     The Company anticipates that cash from operations, additional bank
financing available under the Line of Credit, the net proceeds of this Offering
and shares of Common Stock available under the Acquisition Shelf will provide
sufficient liquidity to execute the Company's acquisition and internal growth
plans for approximately the next 12 months. The availability under the Line of
Credit as of September 30, 1996 was $1.5 million for working capital and general
corporate purposes, and approximately $13.5 million for acquisitions. Should the
Company accelerate its acquisition program, the Company may need to seek
additional financing through the public or private sale of equity or debt
securities. There can be no assurance that the Company could secure such
financing if and when it is needed or on terms the Company deems acceptable. The
Company has registered pursuant to the Acquisition Shelf 2,000,000 shares of
Common Stock for issuance in its acquisition program, of which 1,377,741 shares
were available at September 30, 1996. The Company expects to renegotiate the
Line of Credit upon consummation of this Offering in order to increase its
flexibility in executing its acquisition strategy.
 
SUPPLEMENTAL
 
     The Statement of Operations Data for the nine months ended September 30,
1995 represent the unaudited combined statement of operations of the Founding
Companies for the period adjusted to give effect to: (i) the Compensation
Differential; and (ii) provision for income taxes as if all entities had been
subject to federal and state income taxes for the period. The Supplemental
Statement of Operations Data for the nine months ended September 30, 1996
represent a combination of: (i) the audited results of the combined Founding
Companies for the one month of operations prior to the consummation of the IPO
and the
 
                                       21
<PAGE>   23
 
Acquisitions adjusted for the compensation and tax adjustments discussed above;
and (ii) the audited results of F.Y.I. Incorporated and Subsidiaries for the
eight months subsequent to the consummation of the IPO and the Acquisitions
(which include the Subsequent Acquisitions from the date of their respective
acquisition). The Supplemental Data are provided for information purposes only
and do 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 are
they necessarily indicative of the results of operations which may be achieved
in the future.
 
     NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 1995
 
     Revenue
 
     Total revenue. Total revenue increased 40.6% from $35.5 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 1995 to $49.9 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996. This increase was comprised of a 49.2% increase in service
revenue and was offset by a 6.0% decrease in product and other revenue.
 
     Service revenue. Service revenue increased $14.8 million from $30.0 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 to $44.8 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 1996. This increase was largely due to: (i) the
Subsequent Acquisitions; and (ii) internal growth in service revenue at the
Founding Companies of 9.0%. This internal growth was primarily attributable to:
(i) an increase in medical records release revenue at Recordex and Permanent of
$1.5 million primarily attributable to the expansion into 32 additional
healthcare institutions in the Eastern U.S. and Texas during 1995 and 1996; (ii)
an increase in litigation support revenue at Researchers of $700,000 primarily
due to increased overnight document production and increased medical records
subpoena and service of process requests; and (iii) an increase in micrographics
and electronic imaging revenue at Imagent of $323,000 attributable to an overall
increase in microfilming, scanning and coding projects, offset by the reduction
in microfilm processing revenue due to the loss of a customer in early 1996.
 
     Product and other revenue. Product and other revenue decreased
approximately $351,000 from $5.5 million for the nine months ended September 30,
1995 to $5.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1996. The decrease
in product revenue primarily resulted from a decline in sales to governmental
and related entities during the federal government shutdown in late 1995. This
decline in product revenue was offset by increased product revenue associated
with the purchase of B&B in May 1996. The decrease in other revenue was
attributable to decreased sales of micrographics equipment in 1996.
 
     Gross profit
 
     Gross profit increased 46.3% from $11.6 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1995 to $17.0 million for the nine months ended September 30,
1996, largely due to the increases in revenue discussed above. Gross profit as a
percentage of revenue increased from 32.8% for the nine months ended September
30, 1995 to 34.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 1996, primarily due to
the higher margin mix of revenue associated with the Subsequent Acquisitions.
 
     Selling, general and administrative expenses
 
     SG&A increased 52.9%, from $7.7 million for the nine months ended September
30, 1995 to $11.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1996,
primarily due to: (i) the establishment of corporate overhead required to
execute the acquisition program and to manage the consolidated group of
companies; and (ii) the SG&A associated with the Subsequent Acquisitions. SG&A
as a percentage of revenue (excluding corporate overhead) decreased from 21.7%
for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 to 20.7% for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996. This decrease was a result of: (i) a decrease in SG&A as a
percentage of revenue at the Founding Companies from 21.7% for the nine months
ended September 30, 1995 to 21.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 1996,
primarily due to spreading the Company's fixed costs over a larger revenue base;
and (ii) lower average SG&A as a percentage of revenue associated with the
Subsequent Acquisitions relative to the Founding Companies.

<PAGE>   24
 
     Income before income taxes and net income
 
     Income before income taxes increased 28.3% from $3.8 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 1995 to $4.8 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996, and net income increased 21.8%, from $2.4 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 1995 to $2.9 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996, largely attributable to the factors discussed above. Net
income for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 was impacted by a higher
effective tax rate attributable to the elimination of graduated tax rates as the
Founding Companies are now taxed on a consolidated basis and due to the impact
of nondeductible goodwill associated with certain of the Subsequent
Acquisitions.
 
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 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 revenue constituting 25.3% of the increase, and
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 during 1995.
 
     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 increase in film sales associated
with an overall increase in film processing due to the opening of two new
processing labs.
 
     Other revenue. Other revenue decreased approximately $155,000, from $1.0
million 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 $23.7 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 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,
 
                                       23
<PAGE>   25
 
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 years ended December 31, 1994 and 1995,
respectively. This decrease was a result of additional value added rebates on
selected products from Eastman Kodak.
 
     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 was
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 revenue, for the year
ended December 31, 1994 to $12.5 million, or 26.2% of revenue, 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 revenue, for the year
ended December 31, 1994 to $10.5 million, or 22.1% of revenue, for the year
ended December 31, 1995. Although combined SG&A 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 revenue decreased from 30.3% to 25.3% primarily as a result of the
two storage contracts described above which provided revenue without
proportional increases in overhead; (ii) DPAS' adjusted SG&A as a percentage of
revenue 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
revenue decreased from 33.1% to 31.8%, primarily as a result of increased
revenue 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 giving effect to 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
was primarily due to increased borrowings in April through 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
 
                                       24
<PAGE>   26
 
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 giving effect to 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
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 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,
 
                                       25
<PAGE>   27
 
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 from Eastman Kodak.
 
     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 revenue was
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 giving effect to 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 giving effect to 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 revenue. 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 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.

<PAGE>   28
 
     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 and 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.
 
FLUCTUATIONS IN QUARTERLY RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
     Revenue from the Company's services shows 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. The Company's primary strategy is to consolidate the highly
fragmented document management services industry through acquisitions. In
January 1996, F.Y.I. acquired, simultaneously with the closing of its IPO, the
Founding Companies. Since the IPO, the Company has acquired 15 additional
companies. As a result of the Subsequent Acquisitions combined with internal
growth, the Company's revenue has increased from $35.5 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 1995 to $49.9 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 ($65.0 million on a pro forma basis, assuming the Significant
Acquisitions were completed on January 1, 1996). The Company intends to continue
to aggressively pursue strategic acquisitions in existing and new markets,
cross-sell its full range of services to its current customer base and expand
the marketing of its services to new customers.
 
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 small document management services businesses.
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 generate large volumes of
documents and require specialized processing, distribution, storage and
retrieval of these documents and the information they contain. The Company
believes that these client segments will continue to increase their outsourcing
of document management services in order to maintain their focus on core
operating competencies and revenue generating activities; reduce fixed costs,
including labor and equipment costs; and 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 the needs of large, geographically dispersed clients. In addition, there
are a limited number of options for owners of such businesses to obtain
liquidity by selling their businesses. As a result, the Company believes that
many owners of such businesses will continue to be receptive to its acquisition
program.
 
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 is implementing its focused business
strategy based on the following key principles:
 
     Establish Full Service Operations in Multiple Metropolitan Areas. The
Company intends to establish a full range of document management operations to
meet the diverse needs of targeted metropolitan areas by implementing its
"fill-in-the-grid" strategy 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 continue
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
 
                                       28
<PAGE>   30
 
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 is in the process of implementing
Company-wide employee benefits programs and purchasing 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 of its acquired businesses have a
valuable understanding of their respective markets and businesses and have
existing client relationships upon which they may capitalize. Accordingly, the
Company is operating and expects to continue 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 STRATEGY
 
     Since the IPO, the Company has acquired 15 additional companies. The
Company believes that there are significant opportunities to consolidate the
capabilities and resources of a number of existing document management services
businesses with the intent of providing customers with a single source document
management solution. Accordingly, the Company is pursuing a "fill-in-the-grid"
strategy aimed at providing comprehensive document management services based on
the demands of the given geographical market. The Company has implemented an
aggressive, three-tiered acquisition program consisting of "beachhead
acquisitions" to enter additional targeted markets, "service expansion
acquisitions" to acquire additional service capabilities within such markets and
"tuck-in" acquisitions to gain market share.
 
     In order to enter a targeted geographic market, the Company makes
"beachhead" acquisitions of leading document management services companies with
strong market positions. In analyzing beachhead acquisition candidates, the
Company focuses on acquiring businesses that have one or more of the following
characteristics: (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 either
increase the Company's offered services in a particular region or increase its
share of the market for those services it already offers in that region. In
making such "service expansion" acquisitions, the Company assesses the services
required by the specific market's customer base and then seeks to acquire
leading providers of such services within that geographic area.
 
     Finally, in order to increase its market share and realize economies of
scale, the third tier of the Company's acquisition program is the acquisition of
smaller "tuck-in" businesses that 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 Company targets tuck-in
businesses with strong customer relationships.
 
     The Company believes that it will continue to be an attractive acquiror of
other document management services companies due to its strategy of retaining
selected owners and management of acquired companies, its access to growth
capital and its ability to offer sellers cash for their business as well as an
ongoing equity stake in the Company. Nevertheless, there are numerous risks
associated with the Company's intended acquisition

program. See "Risk Factors -- Acquisition Strategy," "-- Reliance on Key
Personnel" and "-- Need for Additional Financing to Continue Acquisition
Strategy."
 
SERVICES OFFERED
 
     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 include:
 
TRANSFERABLE SERVICES
 
     Document and Data Conversion Services.  Document and data conversion
services include micrographics services and electronic imaging services.
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.
 
     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-job basis, based on the number of images and complexity of the retrieval
applications.
 
     Records Management Services.  Records management services consist of active
or open shelf storage and archival storage of inactive documents. 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.
 
     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.
 
     Database Management and Related Services.  Database management and related
services include database management, data entry, direct mail and fulfillment
services. Database management services involve data capture (manually or through
scanning or other electronic media), data consolidation and elimination,
storage, maintenance, formatting and report creation. Data entry includes the
conversion of text and handwritten paper media into digital files. An advantage
of digital files is the ability to manipulate large amounts of data quickly and
efficiently. In some cases, database services include statistical analysis of
data. Direct mail and fulfillment services provide customers with rapid,
reliable and cost-effective methods for making large-scale distributions of
statements, reports and letters to consumers and other target audiences.

INDUSTRY SPECIFIC SERVICES
 
     The Company has developed industry specific services in order to address
the document management needs of their particular clients. These industry
specific services include:
 
     Medical Records Release Services. Medical records release services involve
processing a request for a patient's medical records from a physician, insurance
company, attorney, healthcare institution or individual. 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 and off-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.
 
     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. Additional litigation support services include subpoena of business
documents and service of process, discovery assistance, document coding,
forensic analysis and other trial support services to law firms, corporations
and regulated entities. These clients typically look to litigation support
companies to augment their internal operations and capabilities on an as-needed,
job-by-job basis. Clients are generally billed on a per unit basis.
 
BUSINESS IMAGING PRODUCTS SALES
 
     The Company has a five-year agreement with the Eastman Kodak Company that
expires on December 31, 1999 and grants the Company 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.
 
SALES AND MARKETING
 
     The Company has a broad customer base, and none of the Company's customers
accounted for more than 5.0% of revenue for the nine months ended September 30,
1996. Historically, the Company's sales efforts have been implemented on a
location-by-location basis and typically have been coordinated either through
separate sales personnel or as part of the local management's responsibilities.
The Company's existing local sales efforts are supplemented through 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 intends to continue to focus on
increasing revenue 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 will seek to augment local sales and marketing
efforts through the implementation of a national sales/account program.
 
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 and 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 continue 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 new
companies and its results of operations may be adversely affected.
 
                                       31
<PAGE>   33
 
     The Company believes that the principal competitive factors in document
management services include accuracy, reliability and security of service and
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.
 
EMPLOYEES
 
     As of September 30, 1996, the Company had approximately 1,478 full-time and
207 part-time employees. As of such date, the Company had 122 employees
represented by labor unions. The Company considers its relations with its
employees to be good.
 
PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
 
     As of September 30, 1996, the Company operated approximately 50 document
management service facilities in 10 states. Except for the two facilities owned
by the Company, these facilities are leased and are principally used for
operations and general administrative functions. See Note 9 of Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements of F.Y.I. Incorporated and Subsidiaries for
further information relating to these leases. In March 1996, the Company moved
into its current corporate headquarters in Dallas, Texas.
 
     As of September 30, 1996, the Company also operated on-site at
approximately 300 client locations on a contractual basis and from time to time
at many other client locations for specific projects.
 
     In order to secure its obligations under its Line of Credit, the Company
granted to Banque Paribas, as agent for the Company's lenders, a lien on
substantially all of the Company's properties and other assets. See
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations -- Liquidity and Capital Resources."
 
     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.
 
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.
 
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; and (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 or 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.

OPTION/SAR GRANTS IN 1995 AND AGGREGATED OPTION/SAR EXERCISES IN 1995 AND FISCAL
YEAR-END OPTION/SAR VALUE TABLE
 
     In 1995, the Company granted non-qualified options to purchase 80,000
shares of Common Stock to Mr. Bowman and non-qualified options to purchase
15,000 shares of Common Stock to Mr. Barker. However, these options were
contingent upon the consummation of the IPO, which was completed in January
1996. None of the other named executive officers was granted options in or prior
to 1995.
 
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS; COVENANTS-NOT-TO-COMPETE
 
     Mr. Bowman, Ms. Lebenberg and Mr. Barker entered into employment agreements
with F.Y.I. dated as of November 1995, July 1996 and July 1996, respectively.
Messrs. Walker and Lowenstein entered into employment agreements with F.Y.I. in
December 1994 and February 1995, respectively. Pursuant to such agreements, each
of such persons receives an annual base salary and is eligible for additional
year-end bonus compensation. The employment agreement for each of Mr. Bowman and
Ms. Lebenberg is for a term of three years, and Mr. Barker's employment
agreement is for a term of two years and five months. Each employment agreement
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 two years (one year in the case of Mr. Barker) 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 (150% in the case of Mr. Barker) 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
 
                                       36
<PAGE>   38
 
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.
 
SEVERANCE ARRANGEMENT
 
     Effective July 22, 1996, the Company's then Executive Vice President and
Chief Financial Officer resigned. Under the terms of the separation agreement,
the Company has paid or will pay the former Executive Vice President and Chief
Financial Officer an aggregate of $195,000 as follows: $120,000 on August 19,
1996, $50,000 on January 30, 1997 and $25,000 on August 19, 1997. Furthermore,
in addition to options for 8,000 shares that vested, additional options for
22,000 shares held by the former executive were accelerated and vested. All of
such options have been exercised.
 
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 IPO. 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.
 
     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 non-qualified 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.
 
     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 currently has outstanding non-qualified options to purchase a
total of 380,580 shares of Common Stock granted in November 1995 at $13.00 per
share (including options granted to non-employee directors of the Company).
These 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. 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.
 
     The Company has outstanding non-qualified options to purchase 234,500
shares of Common Stock granted since November 1995 at fair market value at the
date of the grant to (i) key employees and (ii) in connection with certain of
the Subsequent Acquisitions.

                          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 December 11, 1996, the
Company had outstanding 6,171,910 shares of Common Stock and no shares of
Preferred Stock and had 50 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 "Dividend Policy." 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.
 
     The Common Stock is traded on the Nasdaq National Market under the symbol
"FYII."
 
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
 
                                       39
<PAGE>   41
 
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 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.
 
OFFICER AND DIRECTOR LIABILITY
 
     Pursuant to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation and under Delaware
law, directors of the Company are not liable to the Company or its stockholders
for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty, except for liability in
connection with a breach of duty of loyalty, for acts or omissions not in good
faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, for
dividend payments or stock repurchases illegal under Delaware law or any
transaction in which a director has derived an improper personal benefit.
 
     In accordance with Delaware law, the Company entered into indemnification
agreements with its directors, pursuant to which it agreed to pay certain
expenses, including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement incurred by such directors in connection with certain actions, suits
or proceedings. These agreements require directors to repay the amount of any
expenses advanced if it shall be determined that they shall not have been
entitled to indemnification.
 
     The Company maintains liability insurance for the benefit of its directors
and officers.
 
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 the Jerral W.
Jones Family Limited Partnership.
 
     In connection with the acquisitions of the Founding Companies, and as
consideration for their interests in these 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 "The Company."
 
                                       40
<PAGE>   42
 
     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 shares of the Company's Common Stock with a value equal
to six times the amount of such pre-tax profits. For the nine months ended
September 30, 1996, the pre-tax earnings of such business were approximately
$350,000.
 
WARRANTS 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 with
an exercise price of $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 an exercise price of $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. See Note 10 of Notes to the Financial
Statements of Leonard.
 
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
 
     After the completion of this Offering, there will be 8,171,910 shares of
Common Stock outstanding. The 2,420,000 shares offered hereby will be, and the
2,185,000 shares sold in the IPO are, freely tradable without restriction unless
acquired by affiliates of the Company. Of such 8,171,910 shares, 2,664,615
shares, together with 165,000 shares of Common Stock currently issuable upon
exercise of outstanding warrants, have not been registered under the Securities
Act, which means that they may be resold publicly only upon registration
 
                                       41
<PAGE>   43
 
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. Holders of all of such unregistered shares,
however, have certain registration rights with respect to such shares.
 
     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 either the Company or any affiliate of the Company, the
acquiror or subsequent holder thereof may sell, within any three-month period, 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. Under Rule
144, the two year "holding period" for such unregistered shares has expired or
will expire at various times through January 1998. 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 or public
information requirements.
 
     The Company has agreed not to sell or otherwise dispose of any shares of
Common Stock for a period of 90 days from the date of this Offering without the
prior written consent of Montgomery Securities, except that the Company may
issue Common Stock in connection with acquisitions or upon the exercise of
options. In addition, the former owners of the Founding Companies and the
initial stockholders of the Company (which together include the Selling
Stockholders) have agreed with the Company that they will not sell any of their
shares for a period of two years after January 26, 1996 (other than certain
sales registered under the Securities Act and a limited ability to pledge such
shares as collateral). The Company has agreed not to waive such restriction for
a period of 90 days from the date of this Offering without the prior written
consent of Montgomery Securities. Directors of the Company who are not subject
to these contractual restrictions have agreed not to contract to sell or
otherwise sell or dispose of any of their Common Stock for a period of 90 days
after the date of this Prospectus without the prior written consent of
Montgomery Securities.
 
     The Company issued 856,735 shares of Common Stock as partial consideration
for acquisitions completed since the IPO. Such 856,735 shares were registered
under the Acquisition Shelf and are freely tradable (except for 36,670 shares
held by a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company) unless acquired by parties to
the acquisition or affiliates of such parties, other than the issuer, in which
case they may be sold pursuant to Rule 145 under the Securities Act. Rule 145
permits, in part, such persons to resell immediately securities acquired in
transactions covered under the Rule, provided such securities are resold in
accordance with the public information requirements, volume limitations and
manner of sale requirements of Rule 144. If a period of two years has elapsed
since the date such securities were acquired in such transaction and if the
issuer meets the public information requirements of Rule 144, Rule 145 permits a
person who is not an affiliate of the issuer to freely resell such securities.
In addition, these shares are subject to contractual restrictions on resale
which generally expire two years from the date of issuance.
 
     The Company has reserved for issuance under the Plan an aggregate of
650,000 shares of Common Stock, or 12% of the aggregate number of shares of the
Common Stock 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. As of December 11, 1996, the
Company had options to purchase 615,080 shares of Common Stock outstanding under
the Plan.
 
     Sales, or the availability for sale 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.

</TABLE>
 
     The Underwriters have advised the Company that they propose initially to
offer the shares of Common Stock to the public on the terms set forth on the
cover page of this Prospectus. The Underwriters may allow selected dealers a
concession of not more than $0.60 per share; and the Underwriters may allow, and
such dealers may reallow, a concession of not more than $0.10 per share to
certain other dealers. After the public offering, the offering price and other
selling terms may be changed by the Underwriters. The Common Stock is offered
subject to receipt and acceptance by the Underwriters, and to certain other
conditions, including the right to reject orders in whole or in part.
 
     The Company has granted to the Underwriters an over-allotment option,
exercisable for 30 days from the date of this Prospectus, to purchase up to a
maximum of 363,000 additional shares of Common Stock to cover over-allotments,
if any, at the same price per share as the initial shares to be purchased by the
Underwriters. To the extent the Underwriters exercise such over-allotment
option, each of the Underwriters will be committed, subject to certain
conditions, to purchase such additional shares in approximately the same
proportion as set forth in the above table. The Underwriters may exercise this
over-allotment option only to cover over-allotments made in connection with this
Offering.
 
     The Underwriting Agreement provides that the Company and the Selling
Stockholders will indemnify the Underwriters against certain liabilities,
including civil liabilities under the Securities Act, or will contribute to
payments the Underwriters may be required to make in respect thereof.
 
     The Company has agreed not to sell any shares of Common Stock for a period
of 90 days from the date of this Prospectus without the prior written consent of
Montgomery Securities, except for: (i) shares of Common Stock issued in
connection with acquisitions; or (ii) shares of Common Stock issued upon the
exercise of outstanding stock options. In addition, the former owners of the
Founding Companies and the initial stockholders of the Company (which together
include the Selling Stockholders) are contractually prohibited by the Company
from selling shares of Common Stock for a period of two years following the
consummation of the IPO (other than certain sales registered under the
Securities Act and a limited ability to pledge such shares as collateral). The
Company has agreed not to waive such restriction for a period of 90 days after
the date of this Prospectus without the prior written consent of Montgomery
Securities. Directors of the Company who are not subject to these contractual
restrictions have agreed not to contract to sell or otherwise sell or dispose of
any of their Common Stock for a period of 90 days after the date of this
Prospectus without the prior written consent of Montgomery Securities.
 
     In connection with this Offering, certain Underwriters and selling group
members may engage in passive market making transactions in the Common Stock on
the Nasdaq National Market immediately prior to the commencement of sales in
this Offering, in accordance with Rule 10b-6A under the Exchange Act. Passive
market making consists of displaying bids on the Nasdaq National Market that are
limited by the bid prices of independent market makers and completing purchases
in response to order flow at prices limited by such bids.
 
                                       43
<PAGE>   45
 
Net purchases by a passive market maker on each day are limited to a specified
percentage of the passive market maker's average daily trading volume in the
Common Stock during a specified period and must be discontinued for any day on
which such limit is reached. Passive market making may stabilize the market
price of the Common Stock at a level above that which might otherwise prevail
and, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.

                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
 
To F.Y.I. Incorporated:
 
     We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of F.Y.I.
Incorporated (a Delaware corporation) as of December 31, 1995 and September 30,
1996 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity
and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 1996. These consolidated
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated 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 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
     In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above presents fairly,
in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of F.Y.I.
Incorporated as of December 31, 1995, and September 30, 1996, and the
consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

                      F.Y.I. INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION:
 
     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 "IPO") on January 23, 1996, seven document management services businesses
(the "Founding Companies"). The Founding Companies are headquartered in San
Francisco (2), San Jose, Fort Worth, Detroit, Malvern (Philadelphia) and
Baltimore, and operate in over 23 states. The consideration for the Founding
Companies consisted of a combination of cash and common stock (the "Common
Stock") of F.Y.I.
 
     Between September 1994 and the consummation of the IPO and the
Acquisitions, F.Y.I. did not conduct any operations. For accounting purposes and
for the purposes of the presentation of the financial statements herein, January
31, 1996 has been used as the effective date of the Acquisitions. Accordingly,
the actual operating results of the Company included in the Statement of
Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 represent the eight
months of operations subsequent to the consummation of the Acquisitions.
Supplemental Statement of Operations Data for the nine months ended September
30, 1996 is presented in Note 15 herein.
 
     The consolidated financial statements of F.Y.I. include the accounts of
F.Y.I. Incorporated and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant
intercompany transactions have been eliminated. The results of operations for
the nine months ended September 30, 1996 will not be indicative of the results
for the full year because: (i) the Company only had operations for eight of the
nine months; and (ii) the impact of acquisitions recorded as purchases, whose
results are only included subsequent to the purchase date.
 
2. INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING OF COMMON STOCK AND THE ACQUISITIONS:
 
  Initial Public Offering
 
     On January 26, 1996, the Company completed the IPO of 2,185,000 shares of
Common Stock (including the exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option)
at $13.00 per share. Proceeds from the IPO, net of underwriting commissions and
offering costs, were approximately $22.9 million. Of these net proceeds,
approximately $7.1 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, approximately $8.0 million was used for
acquisitions subsequent to the IPO, and $0.1 million was used as working
capital.
 
     Upon the closing of the IPO, the Company converted the 9,000 shares of
Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding into 542,557 shares of Common Stock.
 
  Acquisitions of the Founding Companies
 
     Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company acquired the
Founding Companies. 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
certain Founding Company stockholders of S corporations in the amount of
$3,450,000, representing the undistributed retained earnings of S corporations,
upon which taxes have been paid by the stockholders.
 
     The Acquisitions have been accounted for in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") as a combination of F.Y.I. and the
Founding Companies at historical cost, because: (i) the Founding Companies'
stockholders transferred assets to F.Y.I. in exchange for Common Stock and cash
simultaneously, with the IPO; (ii) the nature of future operations of the
Company will be substantially

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
identical to the combined operations of the Founding Companies; and (iii) no
former stockholder group of any of the Founding Companies obtained a majority of
the outstanding voting shares of the Company.
 
3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
 
  Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
     The Company considers 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, Plant and Equipment
 
     Property, plant 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 excess purchase price over net
assets, which are amortized over 30 years. In conformance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment
of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of", the Company's
management continually evaluates 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, management uses an estimate of
undiscounted net income over the remaining life of the intangibles or other
long-lived assets.
 
  Revenue Recognition
 
     Revenue is recognized when the services are rendered, or products are
shipped, to the Company's customers. Microfilm processing revenue is recognized
on a percentage-of-completion basis. Unearned revenue represents customer
storage and certain services which are billed in advance.
 
  Income Taxes
 
     Income taxes are provided based upon the provisions of SFAS No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes," which requires recognition of deferred income
taxes under the asset and liability method.
 
     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, and various accruals and reserves being deductible for tax purposes in
different periods.
 
  Net Income Per Share
 
     Net income per common share has been computed by dividing income by the
weighted average number of common shares and equivalent shares outstanding for
the period. For purposes of computing income per common share for the nine month
period ended September 30, 1996, the common stock equivalent impact of stock
options outstanding during the period, are not included as their effect is not
material.

  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.

7. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS:
 
     Since the IPO and through September 30, 1996, the Company has acquired 13
additional businesses (together with the Founding Companies, the "Operating
Companies") which provide document management services. All of the acquisitions
are accounted for under the purchase method of accounting.
 
     In May 1996, the Company acquired the stock of 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"). In August
1996, the Company acquired C.M.R.S. Incorporated ("CMRS"), Minnesota Medical
Record Service, Inc. ("Minnesota Medical Record") and Texas Medical Record
Service, Inc. ("Texas Medical Record") (collectively "Medical Record"). Also, as
of August 1996, the Company acquired ZIA Information Analysis Group ("ZIA").
B&B, Premier, Cook, Medical Record and ZIA are considered significant
subsidiaries of the Company. The aggregate consideration paid for B&B, Premier,
Cook, Medical Record and ZIA consisted of $20,129,000 in cash and 585,589 shares
of Common Stock. The preliminary allocation of the purchase price is set forth
below:
 
<TABLE>
            <S>                                                       <C>
            Consideration Paid......................................  $28,123,000
            Estimated Fair Value of Tangible Assets.................   10,758,000
            Estimated Fair Value of Liabilities.....................    7,527,000
            Goodwill................................................   24,892,000
</TABLE>
 
     The fair market value of the shares of Common Stock used in calculating the
consideration paid was $13.65, which is based on approximately a 35% discount
from the average trading price of the Common Stock based on the length and type
of restrictions in the purchase agreements.
 
     The Company acquired substantially all of the assets of Sacramento Valley
Records Management, Inc. ("Sacramento") and Microfilm Associates, Ltd.
("Microfilm") in February 1996; Octo, Inc. ("Octo") in June 1996; and Domor Data
Processing ("Domor"), Rushmore Legal Support ("Rushmore") and Index Record
Management ("Index") in July 1996. The aggregate consideration paid for
Sacramento, Microfilm, Octo, Domor, Rushmore and Index consisted of $3,017,000
in cash. The preliminary allocation of the purchase price is set forth below:
 
<TABLE>
            <S>                                                        <C>
            Consideration Paid.......................................  $3,017,000
            Estimated Fair Value of Tangible Assets..................     720,000
            Estimated Fair Value of Liabilities......................     433,000
            Goodwill.................................................   2,730,000
</TABLE>
 
     The estimated fair market values reflected above 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.
 
     All intangibles are considered enterprise goodwill. Based on the historical
profitability of the purchased companies and trends in the legal, healthcare and
other industries to outsource document management functions in the foreseeable
future, the enterprise goodwill will be amortized over a period of 30 years.
Management continually evaluates whether events and circumstances indicate that
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, management uses an estimate of
undiscounted net income over the remaining life of the intangibles or other
long-lived assets. The goodwill associated with the B&B, Premier, Medical Record
and ZIA acquisitions is not deductible for income tax purposes.

11. STOCK OPTION PLAN:
 
  Accounting Policy for Employee Stock Options
 
     In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.
123, "Accounting for Stock Based Compensation." SFAS No. 123 encourages
companies to account for stock based compensation awards based on the fair value
of the awards at the date they are granted. The resulting compensation cost
would be shown as an expense in the statements of operations. Adoption of the
standard is required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995.
Companies can choose not to apply the new accounting method and continue to
apply current accounting requirements; however, disclosure will be required as
to what net income and earnings per share would have been had the new accounting
method been followed. The Company

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
accounts for its stock-based compensation under Accounting Principles Board
Statement No. 25 "Accounting of Stock Issued to Employees." Under this
accounting method, no compensation expense is recognized in the consolidated
statements of operations if no intrinsic value of the option exists at the date
of grant. While the Company does not intend to adopt SFAS No. 123 for accounting
purposes; it will implement the disclosure requirements which will include
annual pro forma disclosures of its effects commencing December 31, 1996.
 
     In October 1995, the Board of Directors and F.Y.I.'s stockholders approved
the 1995 Stock Option Plan ("the Plan"), which became effective on the date of
the IPO.
 
     The Plan provides awards of options to purchase Common Stock and may
include incentive stock options ("ISOs") and/or non-qualified stock options.
 
     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 non-qualified 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.
 
     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. At September
30, 1996 and December 30, 1995, approximately 711,000 and 650,000 shares,
respectively, were subject to outstanding options.

administrative expenses of the Plans and in some cases, the Operating Companies
make matching and discretionary contributions to the Plans. The Operating
Companies offer no postemployment or postretirement benefits. The expense
incurred related to the Plans by the Company was approximately $50,000 for the
nine months ending September 30, 1996.

13. RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS:
 
  Leasing Transactions
 
     Certain of the Operating Companies lease their operating facilities, along
with certain equipment, from selling parties who remained employees or directors
of the Company. These leases are for various lengths and annual amounts. The
rental expense for these operating leases for the nine months ended September
30, 1996 was approximately $375,000.
 
  Notes Receivable
 
     In the Acquisitions, the Company acquired $613,000 of notes receivable from
two Founding Company shareholders. At the time of the Merger, the shareholders
entered into new notes receivable with a stated interest rate (5%) and principal
payment schedules. Interest is payable on a semi-annual basis, and principal is
due as follows: 1998 -- $321,000; and 1999 -- $322,000.
 
  Other Transactions
 
     An operating company purchases digital coding services from an entity in
which an F.Y.I. stockholder has a controlling interest. The expense incurred to
the entity for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 was $4,000 and billings
to the entity were $22,000. Additionally, the Company charges the entity a
management fee for accounting services. Management fees were $20,000 for the
nine months ended September 30, 1996.
 
14. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:
 
  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 position or results of
operations of the Company.
 
  Concentration of Credit Risk
 
     Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration
of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and trade
receivables. The Company maintains 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 Company's customer base and their
dispersion across many industries and geographic areas.
 
15. SUPPLEMENTAL DATA (UNAUDITED):
 
  Statement of Operations -- Supplemental Data
 
     The Statement of Operations Data for the nine months ended September 30,
1995 represent the unaudited combined statement of operations of the Founding
Companies for the period adjusted to give effect to: (i) compensation levels the
officers and owners have agreed to receive subsequent to the IPO; and (ii)
provision for income taxes as if all entities had been subject to federal and
state income taxes for the period. The Supplemental Statement of Operations Data
for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 represent a combination of: (i) the
audited results of the combined Founding Companies for the one month of
operations prior to the consummation of the Acquisitions adjusted for the
compensation and tax adjustments discussed above; and (ii) the audited results
of F.Y.I. Incorporated and Subsidiaries for the eight months subsequent to the
consummation of the Acquisitions (which includes acquisitions subsequent to the
IPO from the date of their respective acquisition). The Supplemental Data are
provided for information purposes only

                    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 January 31, 1996, 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 and the
one month ended January 31, 1996. 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 January 31, 1996, 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 and the one month ended January 31, 1996, in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles.

                     NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
1.  BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION:
 
     Concurrently with the initial public offering of its common stock (the
"IPO"), F.Y.I. Incorporated ("F.Y.I.") merged 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, F.Y.I. and separate wholly
owned subsidiaries of F.Y.I. will merge with the Founding Companies (the
"Acquisitions"). 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

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

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

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, Plant and Equipment
 
     Property, plant 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
 
     Revenue is 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

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:

Offering. In addition, the pro forma data present the provision for income taxes
as if all entities had been subject to federal and state income taxes and
adjusted for the impact of the compensation differential discussed above.

             NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
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, parties 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 their 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.

                    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.

                     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-54

             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.

     Property and equipment consists of the following:

</TABLE>
 
10.  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 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.
 
  Employment Agreements
 
     The Company has employment agreements with certain personnel to pay
specific amounts annually. The employment agreements provide for a total annual
compensation amount of $595,500 to be disbursed to certain personnel of the
Company in accordance with the terms of each employee's employment agreement
 
11.  RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTION:
 
     The Company purchases digital coding services from Researchers LLC, an
affiliated entity. The Company's principal shareholder has a controlling
interest in Researchers LLC. During the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1995,

$28,000 and $10,642 and had billings of approximately $3,500 and $40,377 to

             NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
     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.

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.

  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
 
     Revenue is recognized when the service is rendered. Net service revenues is

     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.

tax liability.
 
     The provision for income taxes differs from the tax at the statutory rate
due to the following:

     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.)

                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
 
To Leonard Archives, Inc.:
 
     We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Leonard Archives, Inc.
(a Michigan corporation) as of December 31, 1994 and 1995, and the related
statements of operations, stockholder's 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 Leonard Archives, 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:
 
     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.

  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
Services, Inc. and Related Company as of December 31, 1994 and 1995, and the
results of their operations and their 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
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

allowance for doubtful accounts based upon factors surrounding the credit risk
of specific customers, historical trends, and other information.

9.  EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN:

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.

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

<PAGE>   145
 
           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

                         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
customers.
 
  Income Taxes
 
     The Company is an S corporation for income tax purposes and, accordingly,
any income tax liabilities are the responsibility of the stockholder.

             NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
  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.
 
3. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT:
 
     Property and equipment consist of the following at December 31:

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

normal course of its business, most of which involves claims for workers'
compensation incurred in connection with its operations. Management believes

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.

                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
 
Board of Directors
B & B Information and Image Management, Inc.
Upper Marlboro, Maryland
 
     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
generally accepted accounting principles.

                         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.

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

                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
     The Industrial Revenue Bonds are secured by a letter of credit issued by a
bank on behalf of the Company for approximately $2,450,000, expiring on December
31, 1996. The letter of credit is guaranteed by the Company's shareholder. The
letter of credit was placed with a new bank during 1995 resulting in issuance
costs of $56,428. The Company has the option to extend the letter of credit
based on the bank's annual review.
 
     The Company had a consolidated term loan with its former bank, payable in
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
bank, and used the proceeds and operating cash to repay the consolidated term
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.
 
     The bond indenture, term loan and letter of credit agreements have
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
receivable and inventories.
 
     Maturities of long-term debt are as follows:

                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
 
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 operations, 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.

                     NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
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
Jose, California.
 
     On May 31, 1996, the Company merged with Premier Acquisition Corp., a
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.
 
     PDM Services, Inc., with consent of its stockholder, has elected to be
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
income and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 are
unaudited. The unaudited results of operations and cash flows have been prepared
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.

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:

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.

March 31, 1996 (unaudited) and 1995 (unaudited) was approximately $75,500,

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.

                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
 
To C.M.R.S. Incorporated:
 
     We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of C.M.R.S. Incorporated (a
California corporation) as of February 29, 1996, and the related statements of
operations, stockholder's equity, and cash flow 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 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 C.M.R.S. Incorporated as of
February 29, 1996, and the results of its operations and its cash flow for the
year then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
                               FEBRUARY 29, 1996
 
1. BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION:
 
     C.M.R.S. Incorporated (the "Company") is a California corporation. The
Company is an in-house correspondence service for doctors and hospitals.
 
     In August 1996, the Company and its stockholders intend to enter into a
definitive agreement with F.Y.I. Incorporated ("F.Y.I.") pursuant to which the
Company will be acquired by F.Y.I. All outstanding shares of the Company will be
exchanged for cash and shares of F.Y.I. common stock.
 
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
 
  Property and Equipment
 
     Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation and amortization
are computed using accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of the
individual assets which range from five to seven years.
 
  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
financial statements.
 
  Revenue Recognition
 
     Revenue is recognized when services are rendered to the Company's
customers.
 
  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.
 
  Interim Financial Statements
 
     The accompanying balance sheet and statements of operations, stockholder's
equity and cash flow as of and for the four months ended June 30, 1996 are
unaudited. The unaudited financial statements have been prepared on the same
basis as the audited financial statements and, in the opinion of management,
include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation for the period
presented.
 
  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 attorneys and insurance companies. 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
 
     Income taxes are provided based upon the provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," which
requires recognition of deferred income taxes under the asset and liability
method.
 
     The Company is a C corporation for income tax purposes and, accordingly,
any income tax liabilities are the responsibility of the corporation.
 
     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 the recognition of revenues and
various accruals and reserves being deductible for tax purposes in different
periods.
 
3. LOAN RECEIVABLE -- AFFILIATE:
 
     The Company has loaned monies to an affiliate, 50% owned by the sole
shareholder, for operations. The loan is due upon demand and non-interest
bearing.
 
4. LOAN RECEIVABLE -- SHAREHOLDER:
 
     The Company has loaned monies to its shareholder. The loan is due upon
demand and non-interest bearing.
 
5. INVESTMENT IN SUBSIDIARY:

Record Service, Inc., a Texas corporation. The Company accounts for this
investment using the equity method.

                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
 
To Minnesota Medical Record Service, Inc.:
 
     We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Minnesota Medical Record
Service, Inc. (a Minnesota corporation) as of September 30, 1995, and the
related statements of operations, stockholder's equity, and cash flow 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 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 Minnesota Medical Record
Service, Inc. as of September 30, 1995, and the results of its operations and
its cash flow for the year then ended in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

     In August 1996, the Company and its stockholders intend to enter into a
definitive agreement with F.Y.I. Incorporated ("F.Y.I.") pursuant to which the
Company will be acquired by F.Y.I. All outstanding shares of the Company will be
exchanged for cash and shares of F.Y.I. common stock.
 
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
 
  Property and Equipment
 
     Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation and amortization
are computed using accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of the
individual assets which range from five to seven years.
 
  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
financial statements.
 
  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 according to specific
contract terms.
 
  Revenue Recognition
 
     Revenue is recognized when services are rendered to the Company's
customers.
 
  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.
 
  Interim Financial Statements
 
     The accompanying balance sheet and statements of operations, stockholder's
equity and cash flow as of and for the nine months ended June 30, 1996 are
unaudited. The unaudited financial statements have been prepared on the same
basis as the audited financial statements and, in the opinion of management,
include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation for the period
presented.

  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 Minnesota and the
primary customers are attorneys and insurance companies. The Company establishes
an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon factors surrounding the credit
risk of specific customers, historical trends, and other information.
 
  Income Taxes
 
     Income taxes are provided based upon the provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," which
requires recognition of deferred income taxes under the asset and liability
method.
 
     The Company is a C corporation for income tax purposes and, accordingly,
any income tax liabilities are the responsibility of the corporation.
 
     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 the recognition of revenues and
various accruals and reserves being deductible for tax purposes in different
periods.
 
3. LOANS RECEIVABLE -- AFFILIATES:
 
     The Company has loaned monies to two affiliate companies, 50% and 100%
(California Medical Record Service, Inc.) owned by the sole shareholder, for
operations. The loans are due upon demand and non-interest bearing.
 
4. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT:
 
     Property and equipment consist of the following at September 30:

employer contributions. Employer contributions are at the discretion of the

                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
 
To Texas Medical Record Service, Inc.:
 
     We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Texas Medical Record
Service, Inc. (a Texas corporation) as of February 29, 1996, and the related
statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flow 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 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 Texas Medical Record
Service, Inc. as of February 29, 1996, and the results of its operations and its
cash flow for the year then ended in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
                               FEBRUARY 29, 1996
 
1. BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION:
 
     Texas Medical Record Service, Inc. (the "Company") is a Texas corporation.
The Company is an in-house correspondence service for doctors and hospitals.
 
     In August 1996, the Company and its stockholders intend to enter into a
definitive agreement with F.Y.I. Incorporated ("F.Y.I.") pursuant to which the
Company will be acquired by F.Y.I. All outstanding shares of the Company will be
exchanged for cash and shares of F.Y.I. common stock.
 
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
 
 Property and Equipment
 
     Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using
accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of the individual assets
which range from five to seven years.
 
 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
financial statements.
 
  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 the 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
 
     Revenue is recognized when services are rendered to the Company's
customers.
 
  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.
 
  Interim Financial Statements
 
     The accompanying balance sheet and statements of operations, stockholders'
equity and cash flow as of and for the four months ended June 30, 1996 are
unaudited. The unaudited financial statements have been prepared on the same
basis as the audited financial statements and, in the opinion of management,
include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation for the period
presented.

                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
  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 Southern United
States and the primary customers are attorneys and insurance companies. The
Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon factors
surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends, and other
information.
 
  Income Taxes
 
     Income taxes are provided based upon the provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," which
requires recognition of deferred income taxes under the asset and liability
method.
 
     The Company is a C corporation for income tax purposes and, accordingly,
any income tax liabilities are the responsibility of the corporation.
 
     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 the recognition of revenues and
various accruals and reserves being deductible for tax purposes in different
periods.
 
3. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT:
 
     Property and equipment consist of the following at February 29:

                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
 
To ZIA Information Analysis Group:
 
     We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of ZIA Information Analysis
Group (a California corporation) as of December 31, 1995, and the related
statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flow 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 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 ZIA Information Analysis
Group as of December 31, 1995, and the results of its operations and its cash
flow for the year then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

1. BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION:
 
     ZIA Information Analysis Group (the "Company") is a California corporation
which commenced operations on June 1, 1994. The Company provides litigation and
regulatory support services, including information management and fact finding
relating to liability, damage and regulatory issues. The Company provides its
services to law firms, corporations and regulated entities throughout
California.
 
     In August 1996, the Company and its stockholders intend to enter into a
definitive agreement with F.Y.I. Incorporated ("F.Y.I.") pursuant to which the
Company will be acquired by F.Y.I. All outstanding shares of the Company will be
exchanged for cash and shares of F.Y.I. common stock.
 
     During 1995, the Company outsourced approximately $230,000 of services to
companies that were acquired by F.Y.I. in 1996.
 
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 lives of the individual assets which range
from five to seven years.
 
  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
financial statements.
 
  Revenue Recognition
 
     Service revenue consists of fee revenue and client job expenses. Fee
revenue, net of adjustments, is recognized when services are rendered. Client
job expenses consist of out-of-pocket expenditures made on behalf of clients.
Client job expense is recognized when the expense is incurred.
 
  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.
 
  Interim Financial Statements
 
     The accompanying balance sheet and statements of operations, stockholders'
equity and cash flow as of and for the six months ended June 30, 1996 are
unaudited. The unaudited financial statements have been

prepared on the same basis as the audited financial statements and, in the
opinion of management, include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation
for the period presented.
 
  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 legal institutions. The Company establishes
an allowance for doubtful accounts when factors surrounding the credit risk of
specific customers, historical trends, and other information indicate that such
reserve is needed.
 
  Income Taxes
 
     Income taxes are provided based upon the provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," which
requires recognition of deferred income taxes under the asset and liability
method.
 
     The Company is a C corporation for income tax purposes and, accordingly,
any income tax liabilities are the responsibility of the corporation.
 
     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 the recognition of revenues and
various accruals and reserves being deductible for tax purposes in different
periods.

4. NOTE PAYABLE TO BANK:
 
     At December 31, 1995, the Company had a bank line of credit that provided
for maximum borrowings of $150,000 at an interest rate of 2% over the bank's
index rate. The credit line was secured by accounts receivable and property and
equipment and was personally guaranteed by the Company's three officers. The
line of credit agreement contained certain terms and conditions including
financial covenants with respect to tangible net worth and profitability. As of
December 31, 1995, the Company had complied with all terms and conditions of the
agreement, except for the completion of annual financial statements within
ninety days after the fiscal year end. The Company has received a waiver from
the Bank for this breach of the agreement. The bank line of credit expired May
20, 1996. The Company executed a credit agreement on June 20, 1996 which
consisted of a $250,000 revolving credit facility (the "Revolver"). Under the
Revolver, the outstanding balance is due June 30, 1997. Interest accrues at
prime plus 1.5%, and is payable monthly. As of June 30, 1996, there was no
outstanding balance under the Revolver.

5. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN:
 
     In 1995, the Company adopted a defined compensation (401(k) plan, the
"Plan"). Employees who have completed three months of service and have attained
age 21 are eligible to participate in the Plan. The Plan allows for employee and
employer contributions. Employer contributions are at the discretion of the
Company's board of directors. The Company's contributions were $10,637 in 1995,

                      F.Y.I. INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
                    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 and Subsidiaries and the individual Founding Companies and
Significant Acquisitions. See "Index to Financial Statements."
 
     F.Y.I. acquired, simultaneously with and as a condition to the closing of
the IPO 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 and January 31, has
been used as the effective date of the Acquisitions. Accordingly, historical
financial statements of these Founding Companies have been combined throughout
all periods prior to February 1, 1996 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.
 
     In May 1996, the Company acquired B&B and Premier. In June 1996, the
Company acquired all of the non-cash assets of Cook.
 
     In August 1996, the Company acquired Medical Record. CMRS and Texas Medical
Record have previously reported on a fiscal year ending February 29 and
Minnesota Medical Record has previously reported on a fiscal year ending
September 30. As such, the accounts of CMRS, Texas Medical Record and Minnesota
Medical Record for their last fiscal year have been combined with the results of
F.Y.I. for the year ended December 31, 1995. The results of CMRS, Texas Medical
Record and Minnesota Medical Record for the interim period from January 1, 1996
through September 30, 1996 have been recast and combined with the results of
F.Y.I. for the nine months ended September 30, 1996. Also, as of August 1996,
the Company acquired ZIA.
 
     All of the Significant Acquisitions are accounted for under the purchase
method of accounting.
 
     The unaudited pro forma financial statements of F.Y.I. for the year ended
December 31, 1995 gives effect to: (i) the acquisitions of B&B, Premier, Cook,
Medical Record, and ZIA (collectively, the "Significant Acquisitions") as if the
transactions were consummated as of January 1, 1995 and (ii) the acquisition of
the Founding Companies as if the transactions were consummated as of January 1,
1995.
 
     The unaudited pro forma financial statements of F.Y.I. for the nine months
ended September 30, 1996 is based upon:
 
          (i) the audited statement of operations of F.Y.I. for the period from
     February 1, 1996 to September 30, 1996 combined with the audited statement
     of operations for the Founding Companies for the one month ended January
     31, 1996;
 
          (ii) the unaudited statements of operations for B&B, Premier, Cook,
     ZIA and Medical Record from January 1, 1996 to the respective effective
     date of the acquisition.
 
     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 has realized 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 IPO
remaining after payment of the expenses of the IPO and the cash portion of the
consideration for the Founding Companies. These savings are offset by the costs
of being a public company and the incremental increase in costs related to the
Company's new management. Neither the savings nor the costs have been included
in the

pro forma financial information of F.Y.I. Incorporated and Subsidiaries for the
periods prior to the Acquisitions.
 
     The pro forma financial data do 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.

                      F.Y.I. INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.   ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

     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 "IPO") on January 23, 1996, seven document management services businesses
(the "Founding Companies"). The consideration for the Founding Companies
consisted of a combination of cash and common stock (the "Common Stock") of
F.Y.I.

     Between September 1994 and the consummation of the IPO and the
Acquisitions, F.Y.I. did not conduct any significant operations. For accounting
purposes and for the purposes of the presentation of the financial statements
herein, January 31, 1996 has been used as the effective date of the
Acquisitions.  Accordingly, the actual operating results of the Company
included in the Statement of Operations for the nine months ended September 30,
1996 represent the eight months of operations subsequent to the consummation
of the Acquisitions.  Supplemental Statement of Operations Data for the nine
months ended September 30, 1996 are presented in Note 2 herein.

     In the opinion of F.Y.I.'s management, the accompanying consolidated
financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all adjustments
necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position at September 30,
1996, its results of operations for the three and nine months ended September
30, 1995 and 1996, and its cash flows for the nine months ended September 30,
1995 and 1996.  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 (the "Commission").  These consolidated financial statements should
be read in conjunction with the combined financial statements of the Founding
Companies and the related notes thereto in F.Y.I.'s Annual Report on Form 10-K
filed with the Commission on April 10, 1996, as amended by F.Y.I.'s Annual
Report on Form 10-K/A filed with the Commission on April 29, 1996, and the
Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed on September 9, 1996. The results of
operations for the interim periods ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 will not
be indicative of the results for the full year because the Company only had 
operations for eight of the nine months and the impact of acquisitions recorded 
as purchases, whose results are only included subsequent to the purchase date.

2.   INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING OF COMMON STOCK AND THE ACQUISITIONS

Initial Public Offering

     On January 26, 1996, the Company completed the IPO of 2,185,000 shares of
Common Stock (including the exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment
option) at $13.00 per share.  Proceeds from the IPO, net of underwriting
discount and IPO costs, were approximately $22.9 million.  Of these net
proceeds, approximately $7.1 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, approximately $8.0
million was used for acquisitions subsequent to the IPO, and $0.1 million was
used as working capital.

     Upon the closing of the IPO, the Company converted the 9,000 shares of
Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding into 542,557 shares of Common Stock.


Acquisitions of the Founding Companies

     Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company acquired the
Founding Companies.  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 certain stockholders of Founding Companies that were S corporations in the 
amount of $3,450,000, representing the undistributed retained earnings of such 
S corporations, upon which taxes have been paid by the stockholders.

     The Acquisitions have been accounted for in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") as a combination of F.Y.I. and the
Founding Companies at historical cost, because: (i) the Founding Companies'
stockholders transferred assets to F.Y.I. in exchange for Common Stock and cash
simultaneously with the IPO; (ii) the nature of future operations of the
Company will be substantially identical to the combined operations of the
Founding Companies; and (iii) no former stockholder group of any of the
Founding Companies obtained a majority of the outstanding voting shares of the
Company.

Supplemental Data

     Statement of Operations - Supplemental Data

     The Statement of Operations Data for the nine months ended September 30,
1995 represent the unaudited combined statement of operations of the Founding
Companies for the period adjusted to give effect to: (i) compensation levels the
officers and owners have agreed to receive subsequent to the IPO; and (ii)
provision for income taxes as if all entities had been subject to federal and
state income taxes for the period. The Supplemental Statement of Operations Data
for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 represent a combination of: (i) the
audited results of the combined Founding Companies for the one month of
operations prior to the consummation of the Acquisitions adjusted for the
compensation and tax adjustments discussed above; and (ii) the audited results 
of F.Y.I.  Incorporated and Subsidiaries for the

eight months subsequent to the consummation of the Acquisitions (which include
acquisitions subsequent to the IPO from the date of their respective
acquisition).  The Supplemental Data are provided for information purposes only
and do not purport to present the results of operations of the Company had the

they necessarily indicative of the results of operations which may be achieved
in the future.

3. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

     Since the IPO, the Company has acquired 13 additional businesses (together
with the Founding Companies, the "Operating Companies") which provide document
management services.  All of the acquisitions are accounted for under the
purchase method of accounting.

In May 1996, the Company acquired the stock of 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").  In August
1996, the Company acquired C.M.R.S. Inc. ("CMRS"), Minnesota Medical Record
Service, Inc. ("Minnesota Medical Record") and Texas Medical Record Service,
Inc. ("Texas Medical Record") (collectively "Medical Record"). Also, as of
August 1996, the Company acquired ZIA Information Analysis Group ("ZIA").  B&B,
Premier, Cook, Medical Record and ZIA are considered significant subsidiaries
of the Company.  The aggregate consideration paid for B&B, Premier, Cook,
Medical Record and ZIA consisted of $20,129,000 in cash and 585,589 shares of
Common Stock. The preliminary allocation of the purchase price is set forth
below:


<TABLE>
              <S>                                      <C>
              Consideration Paid                       $28,123,000
              Estimated Fair Value of Tangible Assets   10,758,000
              Estimated Fair Value of Liabilities        7,527,000
              Goodwill                                  24,892,000
</TABLE>


The fair market value of the shares of Common Stock used in calculating the
consideration paid was $13.65, which represents a 35% discount from the average
trading price of the Common Stock based on the length and type of restrictions
in the purchase agreements.

The Company acquired substantially all of the assets of Sacramento Valley
Records Management Co. ("Sacramento") and Microfilm Associates, Ltd.
("Microfilm) in February 1996; Octo, Incorporated ("Octo") in June 1996 and
Domor Data Processing ("Domor"), Rushmore Legal Support ("Rushmore"), and Index
Record Management ("Index") in July 1996.  The aggregate consideration paid for
Sacramento, Microfilm, Octo, Domor, Rushmore and Index consisted of $3,017,000
in cash. The preliminary allocation of the purchase price is set forth below:

                                       10

              Consideration Paid                       $3,017,000
              Estimated Fair Value of Tangible Assets     720,000
              Estimated Fair Value of Liabilities         433,000
              Goodwill                                  2,730,000
</TABLE>


The estimated fair market values reflected above 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.

All intangibles are considered enterprise goodwill.  Based on the historical
profitability of the purchased companies and trends in the legal, healthcare
and other industries to outsource document management functions in the
foreseeable future, the enterprise goodwill will be amortized over a period of
30 years.  Management continually evaluates whether events and circumstances
indicate that 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, management
uses an estimate of undiscounted net income over the remaining life of the
intangibles or other long-lived assets. The goodwill associated with the B&B,
Premier, Medical Record and ZIA acquisitions is not deductible for income tax
purposes.

Set forth below is a pro forma income statement for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 and for the year ended December 31, 1995.  The unaudited pro
forma data give effect to: (i) the acquisitions of B&B, Premier, Cook, Medical
Record and ZIA; (ii) the acquisitions of the Founding Companies; and (iii)
compensation and tax adjustments for all transactions as if the transactions
had occurred on January 1, 1995. The acquisitions of Sacramento, Microfilm,
Octo, Domor, Rushmore and Index have not been included in the pro forma
financial statements for periods prior to their acquisition date as the effect
is immaterial.

4. CREDIT FACILITY

     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 up to $35.0 million from time to time

                                       11


<PAGE>   236

under the secured revolving credit and acquisition facility, subject to certain
customary borrowing capacity requirements. The Company and its subsidiaries may
borrow up to an aggregate $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 an aggregate $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 borrowings 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 will be due and payable on April
15, 2001.  As of September 30, 1996, the Company had $3.5 million in borrowings
outstanding under this facility for working capital and corporate purposes, and
$14.1 million in borrowings outstanding under the term loans for acquisitions.

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

     The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements of the Company and the related notes thereto appearing elsewhere in 
this Report on Form 10-Q. Additional information concerning factors that could 
cause results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements 
is contained under the section "Risk Factors."
 
  Introduction
 
     F.Y.I. was founded in September 1994 to create a national, single source
provider of document management services. In January 1996, F.Y.I. acquired,
simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Founding Companies. The
Acquisitions have been accounted for in accordance with GAAP as a combination of
the Founding Companies at historical cost, and January 31, 1996 has been used as
the effective date of the Acquisitions. Between September 1994 and the
consummation of the IPO, F.Y.I. did not conduct any operations. Accordingly, the
actual operating results of the Company included in the Statement of Operations
for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 represent only the eight months of
operations subsequent to the consummation of the Acquisitions and the IPO.
During the period prior to the IPO, F.Y.I. incurred various legal, accounting,
marketing, travel and other costs in connection with the Acquisitions and the
IPO which were funded by the issuance of equity securities. Additional costs
associated with the Acquisitions and the IPO were paid with proceeds of the IPO.
 
     Subsequent to the IPO and through September 30, 1996, the Company acquired
13 additional document management businesses. All of these Subsequent
Acquisitions have been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.
The results of operations for these Subsequent Acquisitions are reflected in the
Company's financial statements based upon their individual acquisition dates.
 
     Supplemental Statement of Operations Data represent the combined results
of: (i) the Founding Companies for the one month of operations prior to the
consummation of the Acquisitions and the IPO and (ii) F.Y.I. Incorporated and
Subsidiaries for the eight months of operations subsequent to the consummation
of the Acquisitions and the IPO. Such data are presented and discussed herein
in order to present the results of the Company since the consummation of the IPO
compared to the results of the combined Founding Companies for periods prior to
the IPO. The Supplemental Data are provided for information purposes only and do
not purport to present the results of operations of the Company had the
transactions assumed therein occurred on or as of the dates indicated. The
Founding Companies were not under common control or management. Accordingly,
such historical combined results may not be comparable to, or indicative of,
future performance.
 
     The Company's revenue is classified as service revenue, product revenue and
other revenue. Service revenue relates to: (i) document and data conversion
services; (ii) records management services; (iii) database management and
related services; (iv) medical records release of information services; and (v)
litigation support services. Product revenue represents sales of micrographic
and business imaging supplies and equipment, 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 compensation and benefits to
non-administrative employees, occupancy costs, equipment costs and supplies and
also includes the costs associated with other revenue discussed above. Cost of
products sold relates to micrographics and business imaging supplies and
equipment.
 
     Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") consist primarily of
compensation and related benefits to the sales and marketing, executive
management, accounting, human resources and other administrative employees of
the Company, other sales and marketing costs, communications costs, insurance
costs and legal and accounting professional fees. SG&A subsequent to the IPO
include the costs of being a public company and the Company's executive
management team.

The Company

     The Company had conducted no significant operations from its inception
through the IPO 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.

        THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED 
        SEPTEMBER 30, 1995 -- F.Y.I. INCORPORATED

     For the three months ended September 30, 1996, revenue was $21.3 million,
gross profit was $7.3 million, operating income was $2.3 million, and net
income was $1.2 million.  As previously mentioned, F.Y.I. had no operations
until February 1996.

        NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED 
        SEPTEMBER 30, 1995 -- F.Y.I. INCORPORATED

     For the nine months ended September 30, 1996, revenue was $46.0 million,
gross profit was $15.7 million, operating income was $4.5 million, and net
income was $2.6 million.  As previously mentioned, F.Y.I. had no operations
until February 1996.  For further discussion of supplemental operations for the
nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, see "-- Supplemental."

     Liquidity and Capital Resources

     As of September 30, 1996, the Company had $5.0 million of working capital
and $3.3 million of cash.  Cash flows provided by operating activities for the
nine months ended September 30, 1996 were $1.4 million.  Cash used for investing
activities was $29.7 million, as the Company paid $27.4 million for
acquisitions, net of cash acquired.  Cash provided by financing activities was
$31.6 million.  The Company raised $22.9 million in the IPO, net of underwriting
discount and other costs associated with the IPO.  The Company assumed $8.5
million of debt in the acquisition of the Founding Companies and subsequently
retired all of this debt with the proceeds of the IPO, with the exception of
approximately $0.4 million of debt with favorable interest rates and capital
lease obligations of approximately $0.4 million.  In April 1996, the Company
negotiated a $35.0 million Line of Credit (see Note 4 of Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements of F.Y.I. Incorporated and Subsidiaries).  The Company paid
$1.6 million in costs to secure this financing.  As of September 30, 1996, the
Company had borrowed $17.6 million under the Line of Credit to help fund the
acquisition program. The Company assumed $2.9 million of debt in the Subsequent
Acquisitions and retired $0.4 million of such debt.  The assumed debt remaining
has interest rates more favorable than the Company's credit facility.

     In the nine months ended September 30, 1995, the Company raised an
additional $0.1 million through the sale of Preferred Stock. During this period
the Company spent $0.3 million in activities related to the IPO and Acquisition
and ended the period with $0.5 million in cash.  The Company had no other
operations during this period.

     The Company anticipates that cash from operations, additional bank
financing available under the Line of Credit, the net proceeds of the proposed
Offering (the "Offering"), of 2,000,000 Company shares of Common Stock filed on
a Form S-1 Registration Statement on November 13, 1996 with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "Commission") and shares of Common Stock available 
under the Acquisition Shelf (as defined below) will provide sufficient liquidity
to execute the Company's acquisition and internal growth plans for approximately
the next 12 months.  The availability under the Line of Credit as of September
30, 1996 was $1.5 million for working capital and general corporate purposes,
and approximately $13.5 million for acquisitions.  Should the Company accelerate
its acquisition program, the Company may need to seek additional financing
through the public or private sale of equity or debt securities.  There can be
no assurance that the Company could secure such financing if and when it is
needed or on terms the Company deems acceptable.  The Company has filed an
acquisition shelf Registration Statement on Form S-1 (Registration No. 333-108)
registering 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock for issuance in its acquisition
program (the "Acquisition Shelf"), of which 1,377,741 shares were available at
September 30, 1996.  The Company expects to renegotiate the Line of Credit upon
consummation of the Offering in order to increase its flexibility in executing
acquisition strategy.

Supplemental

NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER
30, 1995 -- F.Y.I. INCORPORATED COMBINED WITH FOUNDING COMPANIES

Revenue

     Total revenue.  Total revenue increased 40.6% from $35.5 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 1995 to $49.9 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 1996. This increase was comprised of a  49.2% increase in
service revenue and was offset by a 6.0% decrease in product and other revenue.
     
     Service revenue.  Service revenue increased $14.8 million from $30.0 
million for the nine months ended  September 30, 1995 to $44.8 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 1996. This increase was largely  due to: (i) the
Subsequent Acquisitions and (ii) internal growth in service revenue at the
Founding Companies of 9.0%. This  internal growth was primarily attributable to
(i) an increase in medical records release revenue at Recordex and  Permanent of
$1.5 million primarily attributable to the expansion into 32 additional
healthcare institutions in  the Eastern U.S. and Texas during 1995 and 1996;
(ii) an increase in litigation support revenue at Researchers of $700,000
primarily due to increased overnight document production and increased medical
records subpoena and service of process requests; and (iii) an increase in
micrographics and electronic imaging revenue at Imagent of $323,000 attributable
to an overall increase in microfilming, scanning and coding projects, offset by
the reduction in microfilm processing revenue due to the loss of a customer in
early 1996.
     
     Product and other revenue.  Product and other revenue decreased
approximately $351,000 from $5.5 million for the nine months ended September 30,
1995 to $5.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1996. The decrease
in product revenue primarily resulted from a decline in sales to governmental
and related entities during the federal government shutdown in late 1995. This
decline in product revenue  was offset by increased product revenue associated
with the purchase of B&B in May 1996. The decrease in other revenue was
attributable to decreased sales of micrographics equipment in 1996.
     
Gross profit

     Gross profit increased 46.3% from $11.6 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1995 to  $17.0 million for the nine months ended September 30,
1996, largely due to the increases in revenue  discussed above. Gross profit as
a percentage of revenue increased from 32.8% for the nine months ended
September 30, 1995 to 34.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 1996,
primarily due to the higher margin mix of revenue associated with the Subsequent
Acquisitions.
    
Selling, general and administrative expenses

     SG&A increased 52.9%, from $7.7 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1995 to  $11.7 million for the nine months ended September 30,
1996, primarily due to: (i) the establishment of  corporate overhead required to
execute the acquisition program and to manage the consolidated group of
companies; and (ii) SG&A associated with the Subsequent Acquisitions. SG&A as a
percentage  of revenue (excluding corporate overhead) decreased from 21.7% for
the nine months ended September 30, 1995 to 20.7% for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996. This decrease was a result of: (i) a decrease in  SG&A as a
percentage of revenue at the Founding Companies from 21.7% for the nine months
ended  September 30, 1995 to 21.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 
primarily due to spreading the Company's fixed cost over a larger revenue base;
and (ii) lower average SG&A as a  percentage of revenue associated with the 
Subsequent Acquisitions relative to the Founding Companies.
    
Income before income taxes and net income

    Income before income taxes increased 28.3% from $3.8 million for the nine
months ended September 30,  1995 to $4.8 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996, and net income increased 21.8%, from  $2.4 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 1995 to $2.9 million for the nine months ended 
September 30, 1996, largely attributable to the factors discussed above. Net
income for the nine months ended  September 30, 1996 was impacted by a higher
effective tax rate attributable to the elimination of graduated  tax rates as
the Founding Companies are now taxed on a consolidated basis and due to the
impact of  nondeductible goodwill associated with certain of the Subsequent
Acquisitions.

      Company, 420,000 shares to be sold by selling stockholders and 363,000 
      shares subject to an over-allotment option granted by the Company to the
      underwriters.

                                 RISK FACTORS
 
      LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY; RISKS OF INTEGRATION; ABILITY TO MANAGE GROWTH
        
           F.Y.I. was founded in September 1994 and conducted no operations 
      prior to the consummation of the IPO. F.Y.I. acquired the Founding
      Companies simultaneously with the closing of the IPO and has acquired 15
      additional companies since that time (together with the Founding
      Companies, the "Operating Companies"). Prior to their acquisition, these
      companies operated as separate independent entities. Currently, the
      Company has a decentralized financial reporting system and 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. F.Y.I.'s management group has been assembled recently and had
      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 fully 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
      recently assembled management group will effectively be able to direct
      the Company through a period of significant growth. In addition, no
      assurance can be given that the Company's current systems will be
      adequate for its future needs or that the Company will be successful in
      implementing new systems. 
        
           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 these businesses, 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 that 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: (i) adverse short-term effects on the Company's reported
      operating results; (ii) diversion of management's attention; (iii)
      dependence on retention, hiring and training of key personnel; (iv) risks
      associated with unanticipated problems or legal liabilities; and (v)
      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. In any event,
      there can be no assurance that businesses acquired in the future will
      achieve sales and profitability that justify the investment therein. 
        
           The Company is regularly in discussions with additional acquisition 
      candidates and may from time to time enter into letters of intent with
      respect to the acquisition of such businesses. No assurance can be given,
      however, that the Company will acquire any additional businesses.

      NEED FOR ADDITIONAL FINANCING TO CONTINUE ACQUISITION STRATEGY
 
           The Company currently intends to finance future acquisitions by 
      using cash and its Common Stock for all or a portion of the consideration
      to be paid. The Company filed the Acquisition Shelf with the Commission
      relating to the separate offering of up to 2,000,000 shares of Common
      Stock to be used as consideration for acquisitions effected by the
      Company, of which 1,143,265 shares of Common Stock were available as of
      November 12, 1996. In the event that the Company's Common Stock does not
      maintain sufficient value, or potential acquisition candidates are
      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 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. As of November 12, 1996, the
      availability under the Line of Credit was $2.5 million for working capital
      and $8.8 million for acquisitions. There can be no assurance, however,
      that funds available under the Line of Credit will be sufficient for the
      Company's needs. 
        
      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 revenue is 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. Such
      fluctuations in operating results may adversely affect the market price
      of the Company's Common Stock. The market price for the Company's shares
      may also fluctuate in response to material announcements by the Company
      or significant clients or competitors of the Company, changes in the
      economic or other conditions impacting the Company's targeted client
      segments or general economic conditions outside of the Company. Further,
      the securities markets have experienced significant price and volume
      fluctuations from time to time that have often been unrelated or
      disproportionate to the operating performance of particular companies.
      These broad fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of the
      Common Stock. 
        
      DEPENDENCE ON CERTAIN CLIENT SEGMENTS AND TECHNOLOGY
 
           The Company derives its revenue 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. The document management services industry is characterized
      by technological change, evolving customer needs and emerging technical
      standards. 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 or timely basis or that such technologies
      will not render obsolete the Company's role as a third party provider of
      document management services. 
        
      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 targeted 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 and 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 new
      companies, and its results of operations may be adversely affected. 
        

                                       17
<PAGE>   242
      RELIANCE ON KEY PERSONNEL
 
           The Company's operations are dependent on the continued efforts of 
      its 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 person life insurance covering any of its executive
      officers or other members of senior 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 Company has established procedures intended to eliminate any
      unauthorized disclosure of confidential information and, in some cases,
      has contractually limited its potential liability for unauthorized
      disclosure of such information, there can be no assurance that
      unauthorized disclosures will not result in material liability to the
      Company.
        
      INCREASE IN MINIMUM WAGE
 
           As of October 1, 1996, the federal minimum wage increased to $4.75 
      an hour. The second phase of the increase will be implemented on September
      1, 1997, bringing the federal minimum wage to $5.15 an hour. In addition,
      California and other states have increased or may increase their minimum
      wage above the federal minimum. A significant number of the Company's
      employees earn slightly above the minimum wage and, therefore, the Company
      may have to increase salaries to remain competitive. Accordingly, the
      Company's results of operations may be adversely affected.
        
      CONTROL BY MANAGEMENT
 
           Following the completion of the Offering, the directors and 
      executive officers of the Company will beneficially own approximately
      20.4% of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock (19.5% if the
      Underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised in full) 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 of Directors and to approve or disapprove any matter
      submitted to a vote of 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. After the completion of the Offering,
      there will be 8,165,450 shares of Common Stock outstanding. The 2,420,000
      shares offered in the Offering will be, and the 2,185,000 shares sold in
      the IPO are, freely tradable without restriction unless acquired by
      affiliates of the Company. Of such 8,165,450 shares, 2,664,615 shares,
      together with 165,000 shares of Common Stock currently issuable upon
      exercise of outstanding warrants, have not been registered under the
      Securities Act of 1933, as amended (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 under the Securities Act. Holders of all such unregistered
      shares, however, have certain registration rights with respect to such
      shares.
        
           The Company has agreed not to sell or otherwise dispose of any shares
      of Common Stock for a period of 90 days from the date of the Offering
      without the prior written consent of Montgomery Securities, except that
      the Company may issue Common Stock in connection with acquisitions or upon
      the exercise of options. In addition, the former owners of the Founding
      Companies and the initial stockholders of the Company (which together 
      include the Selling Stockholders) have agreed with the Company that they
      will not sell any of their shares for a period of two years after January
      26, 1996 (other than certain sales registered under the Securities Act and
      a limited ability to pledge such shares as collateral). The Company has
      agreed not to waive such restriction for a period of 90 days from the date
      of the Offering without the prior written consent of Montgomery
      Securities. Directors of the Company who are not subject to these
      contractual restrictions have agreed not to contract to sell or otherwise
      sell or dispose of any of their Common Stock for a period of 90 days after
      the date of the Offering without the prior written consent of Montgomery
      Securities.
        
           The Company issued 856,735 shares of Common Stock as partial
      consideration for acquisitions completed since the IPO. Such 856,735
      shares were registered under the Acquisition Shelf and are freely tradable
      (except for 36,670 shares held by a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
      Company) unless acquired by parties to the acquisition or affiliates of
      such parties, in which case they may be sold pursuant to Rule 145 under
      the Securities Act. In addition, these shares are subject to contractual
      restrictions on resale which generally expire two years from the date of
      issuance.
        
           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 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. As of November 12, 1996, the
      Company had options to purchase 635,300 shares of Common Stock outstanding
      under the Plan.

<PAGE>   243
      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. 
        
      RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
 
           This filing contains certain forward-looking statements within the
      meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the
      Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which are intended to be
      covered by the safe harbors created thereby. Investors are cautioned that
      all forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainty, including
      without limitation, the sufficiency of the Company's working capital and
      the ability of the Company to realize benefits from consolidating certain
      general and administrative functions, to continue its aggressive
      acquisition program, to retain management, to implement its focused
      business strategy to expand its document management services
      geographically, to attract customers from other businesses, to increase
      revenue by cross-selling services and to successfully defend itself in
      ongoing and future litigation. Although the Company believes that the
      assumptions underlying the forward looking statements contained herein are
      reasonable, any of the assumptions could be inaccurate, and, therefore,
      there can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements included in
      this filing will prove to be accurate. In light of the significant
      uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements included herein,
      the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a
      representation by the Company or any other person that the objectives and
      plans of the Company will be achieved.
