                                  RISK FACTORS

AN INVESTMENT IN F.Y.I. INVOLVES A SIGNIFICANT DEGREE OF RISK. YOU SHOULD
CONSIDER CAREFULLY THE FOLLOWING FACTORS IN ADDITION TO OTHER INFORMATION
INCLUDED IN THIS PROSPECTUS BEFORE MAKING AN INVESTMENT IN OUR COMMON STOCK.

WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO EFFECTIVELY INTEGRATE ALL OF OUR OPERATING COMPANIES

         Our growth and future financial performance depend on our ability to
integrate all of our operating companies. We may not achieve integration unless
we effectively combine the operations of all our operating companies. A number
of our operating companies offer different services, use different capabilities
and technologies and target different geographic markets and client segments.
These differences increase the risk in successfully completing the integration
of our operating companies. We need to centralize certain functions to achieve
cost savings and develop programs and processes that will promote cooperation
and the sharing of opportunities and resources. Any difficulties we encounter in
the integration process could adversely affect us and we cannot assure you that
the operating results of the Company will match or exceed the combined
individual operating results achieved by our operating companies prior to their
acquisition.

WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO MANAGE OUR RAPID GROWTH

         We cannot be sure that our management group will effectively be able to
oversee F.Y.I. and implement our operating or growth strategies. Further, to the
extent that we are able to implement fully our acquisition strategy, the
resulting growth of F.Y.I. will place significant demands on management and on
our internal systems and controls. We cannot assure you that our management
group will effectively be able to direct F.Y.I. through a period of significant
growth. In addition, we cannot assure you that our current systems will be
adequate for our future needs or that we will be successful in implementing new
systems.

WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO ACQUIRE COMPANIES SUCCESSFULLY

         One of our primary growth strategies is the acquisition of additional
companies that will complement our existing businesses. We cannot assure you
that we will be able to identify or reach mutually agreeable terms with
acquisition candidates and their owners, or that we will be able to profitably
manage additional businesses or successfully integrate such additional
businesses into us without substantial costs, delays or other problems.
Acquisitions may involve a number of special risks including: (a) adverse
short-term effects on our reported operating results; (b) diversion of
management's attention; (c) dependence on retention, hiring and training of key
personnel; (d) risks associated with unanticipated problems or legal
liabilities; and (e) amortization of acquired intangible assets. Some or all of
these risks could have a material adverse effect on our 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, we cannot assure you that businesses
acquired in the future will achieve sales and profitability that justify the
investment therein.

WE WILL NEED TO FINANCE OUR POTENTIAL GROWTH THROUGH ACQUISITIONS

         We currently intend to finance future acquisitions by using cash and
our common stock for all or a portion of the consideration to be paid. In the
event that our common stock does not maintain sufficient value, or potential
acquisition candidates are unwilling to accept our common stock as consideration
for the sale of their businesses, we may be required to use more cash, if
available, in order to continue our acquisition program. If we do not have
sufficient cash, our growth could be limited unless we are able to obtain
capital through additional debt or equity financings. Under our line of credit
(the "1998 Credit Agreement"), F.Y.I. and our subsidiaries could borrow, on a
revolving credit basis, loans in an aggregate outstanding principal amount of
$100.0 million for working capital, general corporate purposes and acquisitions,
subject to certain restrictions in our line of credit. As of April 30, 1999, the
availability under the line of credit was $53.2 million. We cannot assure you,
however, that funds available under our line of credit will be sufficient for
our needs.

THE PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK MAY BE VOLATILE

         The price of our common stock may be volatile. Our quarterly results of
operations may vary materially as a result of the timing and structure of our
acquisitions, the timing and magnitude of costs related to acquisitions, the
gain or loss of material client relationships and variations in the prices
charged by us for our services. In addition, since a significant portion of our
revenue is generated on a project-by-project basis, the timing or completion of
material projects could result in fluctuations in our results of operations for
particular quarterly periods. Fluctuations in operating results may adversely
affect the market price of our common stock. The market price for our common
stock may also fluctuate in response to material announcements by us or our
significant clients or competitors, changes in the economic or other conditions
impacting our 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 our common stock.

WE DEPEND ON CERTAIN CLIENT INDUSTRIES AND TECHNOLOGY

         We derive our revenue primarily from document and information intensive
industries. Fundamental changes in the business practices of any of these client
industries, whether due to regulatory, technological or other developments,
could cause a material reduction in demand by our clients for the services
offered by us. Any reduction in demand would have a material adverse effect on
our results of operations. The document and information management services
industry is characterized by technological change, evolving customer needs and
emerging technical standards. Although we believe that we will be able to
continue to offer services based on the newest technologies, we cannot assure
you that we will be able to obtain any of these technologies, that we will be
able to effectively implement these technologies on a cost-effective or timely
basis or that these such technologies will not render obsolete our role as a
third party provider of document management services.

WE FACE INTENSE COMPETITION

         The document and information management services industry is highly
competitive. A significant source of competition is the in-house document
handling capability of our targeted client base. We cannot assure you that these
businesses will outsource more of their document and information management
needs or that such businesses will not bring in-house services that they
currently outsource. In addition, certain of our competitors are larger
businesses and have greater financial resources than we. Certain of these
competitors operate in broader geographic areas than we do, and others may
choose to enter our areas of operation in the future. In addition, we intend to
enter new geographic areas through internal growth and acquisitions and expect
to encounter significant competition from established competitors in each new
area. As a result of this highly competitive environment, we may lose customers
or have difficulty in acquiring new customers and new companies, and our results
of operations may be adversely affected.

WE DEPEND ON OUR KEY PERSONNEL

         Our operations are dependent on the continued efforts of our executive
officers and on senior management of our operating companies. Also, we will
likely depend 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 we are unable to attract and retain other skilled employees, our
business could be adversely affected. We do not currently have key person life
insurance covering any of our executive officers or other members of senior
management.

WE MAY BE LIABLE FOR BREACH OF CONFIDENTIALITY

         A substantial portion of our business involves the handling of
documents containing confidential and other sensitive information. Although we
have established procedures intended to prevent any unauthorized disclosure of
confidential information and, in some cases, have contractually limited our
potential liability for unauthorized disclosure of such information, we cannot
assure you that unauthorized disclosures will not result in material liability
to us.



                                        3

<PAGE>   4

WE MAY HAVE BUSINESS INTERRUPTIONS

         Certain of our operations are performed at a single location and are
dependent on continuous computer, electrical and telephone service. As a result,
any disruption of our day-to-day operations could have a material adverse effect
upon us. We cannot assure you that a fire, flood, earthquake, power loss,
telephone service loss, problems caused by the Year 2000 issues or other events
affecting one or more of our facilities would not disable these services. Any
significant damage to any facility or other failure that causes significant
interruptions in our operations may not be covered by insurance. Any uninsured
or underinsured loss could have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition and results of operations.

OUR PUBLIC SECTOR CONTRACTS ARE SUBJECT TO GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS

         A portion of our present business involves public sector contracts, and
we anticipate a growing portion of our business coming from local, state and
federal government agencies. Public sector contracts are subject to detailed
regulatory requirements and public policies, as well as to funding priorities.
Contracts with public sector customers may be conditioned upon the continuing
availability of public funds, which in turn depends upon lengthy and complex
budgetary procedures, and may be subject to certain pricing constraints.
Moreover, public sector contracts may generally be terminated for a variety of
factors, including when it is in the best interests of the respective
governmental entity. We cannot assure you that these factors or others unique to
contracts with governmental entities will not have a material adverse effect on
our business, financial condition and results of operations.

MANAGEMENT EXERCISES SUBSTANTIAL CONTROL OVER OUR AFFAIRS

         As of March 31, 1998, our directors and executive officers owned
approximately 13.7% of the shares of our common stock. Our directors, executive
officers and employees exercise substantial control over our affairs. If these
persons act together, they might be able to elect a sufficient number of
directors to control our Board of Directors and to approve or disapprove any
matter submitted to a vote of our stockholders.

FUTURE SALES OF OUR SHARES MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR STOCK PRICE

         The market price of our common stock could be adversely affected by the
sale of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market. In
addition, many shares are subject to contractual restrictions on resale which
generally expire two years from the date of issuance.

         We have an acquisition program under which we completed in the second
half of 1998, and expect to continue to pursue, acquisitions that are accounted
for under the pooling-of-interests method of accounting. Under the
pooling-of-interests method of accounting, the affiliates of the acquired
companies, which are generally all of the stockholders of the companies acquired
by us, must be free to sell or otherwise transfer shares of our common stock
received in the acquisition, subject to their compliance with federal securities
laws, as soon we release results of operations that reflect the combined
operations of F.Y.I. and the acquired company for a minimum of 30 days. If such
shares are unregistered, F.Y.I. typically agrees to register 49% within one year
from the date of acquisition. If a significant number of shares of our common
stock are issued in acquisitions that are consummated in close proximity to each
other, such shares will become freely tradable at the same time. If a large
number of shares are sold by stockholders in the market as soon as their shares
become freely transferable, the price of our common stock could be adversely
affected.

OUR SYSTEMS AND THIRD-PARTY SYSTEMS WHICH AFFECT OUR BUSINESS MAY NOT ACHIEVE
YEAR 2000 READINESS

         The "Year 2000 Issue" describes the use of two digits rather than four
digits to define the applicable year in certain computer programs. In the year
2000, any of our computer programs that have two digit date-sensitive software
may interpret a date of "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000. This
could result in a system failure or miscalculations causing



                                        4

<PAGE>   5

disruptions of operations, including, among other things, a temporary inability
to process transactions, send invoices or engage in similar normal business
activities. We are progressing in our completion of the various tasks and target
dates identified in our Year 2000 work plan. We estimate that the total cost of
the Year 2000 project will be approximately $3.6 to $3.9 million. As of March
31, 1999, we had incurred approximately $1.8 million of Year 2000 costs. Due to
the general uncertainty inherent in the Year 2000 process, resulting in part
from customers, we are unable to determine a reasonable worst case scenario at
this time.

WE MAY HAVE ENVIRONMENTAL LIABILITIES IN THE FUTURE

         We are subject to regulations and ordinances that govern activities or
operations that may have adverse environmental effects, such as discharges to
air and water. We are not aware 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 our business, financial condition
and results of operations. However, we cannot assure you that environmental
liabilities in the future will not have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition and results of operations.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS MAY BE ABLE TO DELAY OR PREVENT TAKEOVERS

         Our Board of Directors 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 us by means of a
tender offer, merger, proxy contest or otherwise.

                      WHERE YOU CAN FIND MORE INFORMATION

         We file annual, quarterly, and current reports, proxy statements and
other documents with the Securities and Exchange Commission. You may read and

                          FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

         This prospectus contains certain forward-looking statements such as
F.Y.I. or management's intentions, hopes, beliefs, expectations, strategies,
predictions or any other variation thereof or comparable phraseology of the
F.Y.I.'s future activities or other future events or conditions within the
meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of 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, variations in quarterly
results, volatility of our stock price, development by competitors of new or
superior products or services, the entry into the market by new competitors, the
sufficiency of our working capital and the ability of F.Y.I. to realize benefits
from consolidating certain general and administrative functions, to assimilate
and integrate acquisitions, to continue its aggressive acquisition program, to
retain management, to implement its focused business strategy to expand its
document and information management services geographically, to retain customers
or attract customers from other businesses, to increase revenue by cross-selling
services and to successfully defend itself in ongoing and future litigation.
Although we believe that the assumptions underlying the forward-looking
statements contained herein are reasonable, any of the assumptions could be
inaccurate, and, therefore, we cannot assure you 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 us or any other person that our objectives and plans will be
achieved.

                                  THE COMPANY

         We were founded in September 1994 to create a national, single source
provider of document and information outsourcing solutions to document and
information intensive industries, including: healthcare, law, banking,
insurance, retailing, manufacturing and government. Our primary strategy is to
acquire, integrate and operate companies in the highly fragmented document and
information outsourcing solutions industry. In January 1996, F.Y.I. acquired,
simultaneously with the closing of its initial public offering (the "IPO"),
seven document management services businesses. Since the IPO, and through
December 31, 1998, we acquired 42 additional companies. Since December 31, 1998,
we acquired five additional companies, for a total of 54 acquisitions since our
inception. We intend to continue to aggressively pursue strategic acquisitions
in existing and new markets, cross-sell our full range of services to our
current customer base and expand the marketing of our services to new customers.

         An estimated four trillion documents are generated annually in the
United States. A significant portion of the processing, management and storage
of these documents is outsourced to small service companies. Further, we believe
that the document and information outsourcing solutions market is growing due to
several factors, including: (a) government regulations that require lengthy
document retention periods and rapid accessibility for many types of records;
(b) increased customer expectations of low cost access to records on short
notice and, in many instances, at disparate locations; (c) the increasing
litigiousness of society, necessitating access to relevant documents and records
for extended periods; and (d) continuing advancements in computer, networking,
facsimile, printing and other technologies which have greatly facilitated the
production and wide distribution of documents.



                                        6

<PAGE>   7


         Our target clients generate large volumes of documents and require
specialized processing, distribution, storage and retrieval of these documents
and the information they contain. We believe that these clients will continue to
increase their outsourcing of document and information management 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 and information outsourcing solutions business is highly
fragmented. We believe that many small document management services businesses:
(a) have insufficient capital for expansion; (b) cannot keep abreast of rapidly
changing technologies; (c) lack effective marketing programs; and (d) 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, we believe that many owners
of such businesses will continue to be receptive to our acquisition program.

         We are a Delaware corporation. Our executive offices are located at
3232 McKinney Avenue, Suite 900, Dallas, Texas 75204, and our telephone number
is (214) 953-7555.

                              RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

         Acquisition Activity: Since December 31, 1998, we acquired the

Statement effective for a period of six months.

                              PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

         The shares of common stock registered hereunder and owned by the
Selling Stockholders may be offered and sold by means of this prospectus from
time to time as market conditions permit in the over-the-counter market, or
otherwise at prices and terms then prevailing or at prices related to the
then-current market price, or in negotiated transactions. These shares may be
sold by one or more of the following methods, without limitation: (a) a block
trade in which a broker or dealer so engaged will attempt to sell the shares as
agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to
facilitate the transaction; (b) a purchase by a broker or dealer as principal
and resale by such broker or dealer for its account pursuant to this prospectus;
(c) ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker
solicits a purchase; and (d) face-to-face transactions between sellers and
purchasers without a broker or dealer. In effecting sales, brokers or dealers
engaged by the Selling Stockholders may arrange for other brokers or dealers to
participate. Such brokers or dealers may receive commissions or discounts from
Selling Stockholders in amounts to be negotiated.

         The Selling Stockholders and any brokers or dealers who act in
connection with the sale of the shares hereunder may be deemed to be
"underwriters" within the meaning of 2(11) of the Securities Act, and any
commissions received by them or any profit on any resale of the shares as
principal might be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the
Securities Act. We may agree to indemnify the Selling Stockholders and we may
agree to indemnify any such broker or dealer who may be deemed to be an
underwriter against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the
Securities Act as an underwriter or otherwise.

         We have advised the Selling Stockholders that, during such time as they
may be engaged in a distribution of the shares of common stock included herein,
they must comply with the applicable provisions of Regulation M under the
Exchange Act, as amended ("Regulation M"), and, in connection therewith, the
Selling Stockholders may not engage in any stabilization activity in connection
with any of our securities, that they must furnish copies of this prospectus to
each broker-dealer through which the shares of our common stock included herein
may be offered, and that they may not bid for or purchase any of our securities
or attempt to induce any person to purchase any of our securities except as
permitted under Regulation M. The Selling Stockholders have also agreed to
inform us and broker-dealers through whom sales may be made hereunder when the
distribution of the shares is completed.

         In connection with this offering, any underwriters or selling group
members or their affiliates may engage in passive market making transactions in
our common stock on the Nasdaq National Market in accordance with Rule 10b-6A
under the Exchange Act.

                                  LEGAL MATTERS
