ITEM 1. BUSINESS
 
                                    GENERAL
 
     F.Y.I. Incorporated ("F.Y.I." or the "Company") 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, and through December 31,
1996, the Company acquired 18 additional companies (the "Subsequent
Acquisitions"). Since December 31, 1996, the Company has acquired three
additional companies, for a total of 28 acquisitions since the Company's
inception. In December 1996, the Company completed a public offering of
2,783,000 shares of Common Stock (including 420,000 shares of Common Stock sold
by selling stockholders) (the "December Offering"). The proceeds from the
December Offering were used to repay the outstanding balance on its line of
credit, to pay a portion of consideration for acquisitions and to retire
indebtedness assumed in acquisitions. The remaining proceeds are to be used for
general corporate purposes, which are expected to include additional
acquisitions. 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. 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,
as well as governmental entities and Fortune 500 companies. 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
 
                                        1
<PAGE>   4
 
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 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, 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 21 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
 
                                        2
<PAGE>   5
 
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. Many of such services are provided electronically. 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 or electronically 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
 
                                        3
<PAGE>   6
 
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 its 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 year ended December 31, 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 strives 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
 
                                        4
<PAGE>   7
 
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.
 
     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 December 31, 1996, the Company had approximately 1,830 full-time and
275 part-time employees. As of such date, the Company had approximately 100
employees represented by labor unions. The Company considers its relations with
its employees to be good.

the positions of President and Chief Executive Officer. From August 1991 to
December 1994, Mr. Walker was Vice President, Corporate Development, of Laidlaw
Waste Systems, Inc., a subsidiary of Laidlaw, Inc., a waste management company,
where he was responsible for its acquisition and divestiture program in the
United States and Mexico. From May 1989 until he joined Laidlaw Waste Systems,
Inc., Mr. Walker was President of Thomas C. Walker Associates, Inc., a company
providing merger, acquisition and financial consulting services focusing on the
waste management industry. During his career, Mr. Walker has been responsible
for the acquisition or divestiture of over 150 businesses over a 30-year period.
Mr. Walker holds a B.S. in Industrial Engineering from Lafayette College.
 
     In May 1989, Mr. Walker resigned from a senior executive position with a
former employer and received a severance payment under the terms of his
employment agreement. In July 1989, such employer commenced a proceeding in
bankruptcy, and, after emerging from such proceeding and in connection with its
liquidation, sought to recover Mr. Walker's severance payment as a preference
claim. Mr. Walker litigated this claim but ultimately entered into a judgment
requiring him to make significant payments to his former employer. In April
1993, Mr. Walker filed a voluntary petition in bankruptcy in order to discharge
such judgment and two mortgage notes relating to two condominiums in Dallas, the
holders of which were unwilling to renegotiate the terms of the mortgages. Mr.
Walker did not seek any other relief from creditors, and the bankruptcy was
discharged in February 1994.

                                  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 21 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's Registration Statement on Form S-1
 
                                        7
<PAGE>   10
 
(Registration No. 333-1084) (the "Acquisition Shelf") relates to the offering of
2,000,000 shares of Common Stock to be used as consideration for acquisitions by
the Company, of which approximately 918,701 shares remained available as of
March 7, 1997. 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 December 1996,
the Company completed the December Offering. The proceeds from the December
Offering were used to repay the outstanding balance under the Credit Agreement,
as amended (the "Line of Credit"), among the Company and its subsidiaries,
Banque Paribas, as agent, and the lenders named therein, and for general
corporate purposes, which have included and are expected to include additional
acquisitions. Under the Line of Credit, the Company and its subsidiaries
initially could 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 March 7, 1997, the availability under the Line of Credit was $5.0 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.
 
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.
 
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
 
                                        8
<PAGE>   11
 
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.
 
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 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 the Company is unable to attract
and retain other skilled employees, the Company's business could be adversely
affected. The Company does not currently have 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 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
 
     As of March 7, 1997, the directors and executive officers of the Company
beneficially owned approximately 19.0% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock
and exercise substantial control over the Company's affairs. These stockholders
acting together would likely be able to elect a sufficient number of directors
to control the Board 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. As of March 7, 1997, there were 8,779,434 shares of Common
Stock outstanding. The 2,783,000 shares sold by the Company and certain selling
stockholders in the December Offering, and the 2,185,000 shares sold in the IPO,
are freely tradable without restriction unless acquired by affiliates of the
Company. Of such 8,779,434 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 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.
 
                                        9
<PAGE>   12
 
     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 December 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 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 December
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 December 12, 1996 without the prior written
consent of Montgomery Securities.
 
     The Company issued 1,081,299 shares of Common Stock as partial
consideration for acquisitions completed since the IPO. Of these, 1,081,299
shares were registered under the Company's 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 an aggressive acquisition program under which it recently
completed, and expects 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 the Company, must be free to sell or otherwise transfer shares of the Common
Stock received in the acquisition, subject to their compliance with federal
securities laws, as soon as the Company releases results of operations that
reflect the combined operations of the Company and the acquired company for a
minimum of 30 days. In addition, the Company expects to complete additional
acquisitions in the future that will be accounted for under the
pooling-of-interests method. If a significant number of shares of 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
became freely transferable, the price of the Common Stock could be adversely
affected.
 
     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 March 7, 1997, the Company had options to purchase 682,590
shares of Common Stock outstanding under the Plan.
 
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 Report contains certain forward-looking statements such as the
Company's or management's intentions, hopes, beliefs, expectations, strategies,
predictions or any other variation thereof or comparable phraseology of the
Company's future activities or other future events or conditions 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
 
                                       10
<PAGE>   13
 
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 Report 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.
 
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
 
     As of December 31, 1996, the Company operated approximately 74 document
management service facilities in 12 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 December 31, 1996, the Company also operated on-site at approximately
245 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 "Item 7.
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.
 
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
     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.
 
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
 
     During the fourth quarter of the year ended December 31, 1996, no matters
were submitted to a vote of the security holders.

HOLDERS
 
     On March 7, 1997, the last reported sale price of the Common Stock on the
Nasdaq National Market was $23.25 per share. At March 7, 1997, there were 60
holders of record of the Company's Common Stock, although the Company believes
the number of beneficial holders is substantially greater.
 
DIVIDENDS
 
     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.
 
ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA
 
                            SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA
 
     F.Y.I. acquired, simultaneously with and as a condition to the closing of
the IPO, the following seven Founding Companies (the "Acquisitions"): 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"). 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.

ITEM 7. 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 "Item 6. Selected
Financial Data" appearing elsewhere in this Report. Additional information
concerning factors that could cause results to differ materially from those in
the forward-looking statements is contained under "Item 1. Business -- 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 year ended December 31, 1996 represent the 11 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 December 31, 1996, the Company acquired
18 additional document management businesses. Of these Subsequent Acquisitions,
17 have been accounted for as purchases and one was accounted for as a
pooling-of-interests. The Company's results of operations include the Subsequent
Acquisitions from the date of their respective acquisition and the pooled
company from January 1996.
 
     Supplemental Statement of Operations Data represents 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 11 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 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.
 
  YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995
 
     For the year ended December 31, 1996, revenue was $75.7 million, gross
profit was $26.0 million, operating income was $7.7 million and net income was
$4.0 million. As previously mentioned, F.Y.I. had no operations until February
1996. For further discussion of supplemental operations for the years ended
December 31, 1996 and 1995, see "-- Supplemental."
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
     As of December 31, 1996, the Company had $22.8 million of working capital
and $21.0 million of cash. Cash flows provided by operating activities for the
year ended December 31, 1996 were $4.9 million. Cash used for investing
activities was $40.5 million, as the Company paid $37.2 million for
acquisitions, net of cash acquired. Cash provided by financing activities was
$56.5 million. The Company raised $68.2 million in the IPO and the December
Offering, net of underwriting discounts and other costs associated with the
offerings. The Company assumed $8.5 million of debt in the Acquisitions and
subsequently retired such 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
entered into 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. During the year
ended December 31, 1996, the Company borrowed $22.8 million under the Line of
Credit to help fund the acquisition program, all of which was subsequently
repaid with cash from operations and the proceeds of the December Offering. The
Company assumed $4.0 million of debt in the Subsequent Acquisitions and retired
$1.0 million, leaving $0.3 million of capital lease obligations assumed and $2.7
million of debt with interest rates more favorable than the Line of Credit.
 
     In the year ended December 31, 1995, the Company raised $0.1 million
through the sale of preferred stock. During this period, the Company spent $0.7
million in activities related to the IPO and the Acquisitions and ended the
period with $0.1 million in cash. The Company had no operations during this
period.
 
     The Company anticipates that cash on hand, cash from operations, additional
bank financing available under the Line of Credit, 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 December 31,
1996 was $5.0 million for working capital and general corporate purposes, and
approximately $8.8 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 1,033,265 shares were available at December 31,
1996.
 
SUPPLEMENTAL
 
     The Statement of Operations Data for the year ended December 31, 1995
represents the audited 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 year ended December 31, 1996 represents 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
Acquisitions adjusted for the compensation and tax adjustments discussed above;
and (ii) the audited results of F.Y.I. Incorporated and Subsidiaries for the 11
months subsequent to the consummation of the IPO and the Acquisitions (which
 
                                       18
<PAGE>   21
 
include the Subsequent Acquisitions from the date of their respective
acquisition and The Rust Consulting Group, Inc. ("Rust") from January 1, 1996)
adjusted to give effect to the Compensation Differential for Rust. The
Supplemental Data 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.
 
  YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995
 
     Revenue
 
     Total revenue. Total revenue increased 67.2%, from $47.6 million for the
year ended December 31, 1995 to $79.6 million for the year ended December 31,
1996. This increase was comprised of a 77.7% increase in service revenue and a
6.6% increase in product and other revenue.
 
     Service revenue. Service revenue increased $31.6 million, from $40.6
million for the year ended December 31, 1995 to $72.2 million for the year ended
December 31, 1996. This increase was largely due to: (i) the Subsequent
Acquisitions; and (ii) internal growth in service revenue at the Founding
Companies of 9.6%. This internal growth was primarily attributable to: (i) an
increase in medical records release revenue at Recordex and Permanent of $1.7
million, primarily attributable to the expansion into 29 additional healthcare
institutions in the Eastern United States and Texas during 1996 and due to
increased production volumes at facilities contracted during 1995; (ii) an
increase in litigation support revenue at Researchers of $1.3 million 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 $447,000 attributable to an overall
increase in imaging, coding and indexing projects, offset by a reduction in
microfilm processing revenue due to the reduced volumes of duplicate film
processing for one customer and the loss of a customer in early 1996.
 
     Product and other revenue. Product and other revenue increased
approximately $461,000, from $7.0 million for the year ended December 31, 1995
to $7.5 million for the year ended December 31, 1996. The increase in product
revenue primarily resulted from increased product revenue associated with the
purchase of B&B in May 1996 and Rust in December 1996. This increase in product
revenue was offset by a decline in Imagent's sales to governmental and related
entities associated with the federal government shutdown in late 1995. The
decrease in other revenue was attributable to decreased commissions on the sales
of micrographics equipment in 1996.
 
     Gross profit
 
     Gross profit increased 76.6%, from $15.5 million for the year ended
December 31, 1995 to $27.3 million for the year ended December 31, 1996, largely
due to the increases in revenue discussed above. Gross profit as a percentage of
revenue increased from 32.5% for the year ended December 31, 1995 to 34.3% for
the year ended December 31, 1996, primarily due to the higher margin mix of
revenue associated with the Subsequent Acquisitions.
 
     Selling, general and administrative expenses
 
     SG&A increased 75.2%, from $10.5 million for the year ended December 31,
1995 to $18.3 million for the year ended December 31, 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 21.9% for the year ended December
31, 1995 to 20.8% for the year ended December 31, 1996. This decrease was a
result of: (i) a decrease in SG&A as a percentage of revenue at the Founding
Companies from 22.1% for the year ended December 31, 1995 to 21.1% for the year
ended December 31, 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.

     Income before income taxes and net income.
 
     Income before income taxes increased 57.8% from $4.8 million for the year
ended December 31, 1995 to $7.6 million for the year ended December 31, 1996,
and net income increased 48.3% from $3.0 million for the year ended December 31,
1995 to $4.5 million for the year ended December 31, 1996, largely attributable
to the factors discussed above. Net income for the year ended December 31, 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, Michigan; (iii)
Deliverex's cost of services decreased $41,000, and as a percentage of revenue
decreased from
 
                                       20
<PAGE>   23
 
64.6% to 57.3%, as a result of price increases and certain cost reduction
programs; and (iv) DPAS' 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 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.
 
                                       21
<PAGE>   24
 
     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.
 
  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.

                    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) and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995
and 1996 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders'
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 F.Y.I. Incorporated and
subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995 and 1996, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity 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 26, 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 twelve months ended December 31, 1996 represent the eleven
months of operations subsequent to the consummation of the Acquisitions.
Supplemental Statement of Operations Data for the twelve months ended December
31, 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.
 
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 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.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
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 year
period ended December 31, 1996, the common stock equivalent impact of stock
options outstanding during the period, are not included as their effect is not
material.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
  Use of Estimates in Financial Statements
 
     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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.
 
  Pro Forma Net Income (Unaudited)
 
     The Company acquired The Rust Consulting Group, Inc. ("Rust") in December
1996 in a transaction that was accounted for as a pooling-of-interests. Rust has
previously been managed as an independent closely owned company and therefore,
selling, general and administrative expenses for the historical periods reflect
compensation and related benefits that the owner had received from the business
during those periods. In connection with the acquisition, the owner has entered
into a three year employment agreement that provides for compensation and
benefits at levels lower than the historical amounts (the "Compensation
Differential"). The unaudited pro forma data presents compensation at the level
the owner has agreed to receive subsequent to the acquisition and the related
income tax impact of the Compensation Differential discussed above.

7. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS:
 
     Since the IPO and through December 31, 1996, the Company has acquired 18
additional businesses (the "Subsequent Acquisitions") that provide document
management services, of which 17 were accounted for as purchases and one was
accounted for as a pooling-of-interests. The Subsequent Acquisitions consist of:
 
     Sacramento Valley Records Management, Inc. ("Sacramento"); Microfilm
Associates, Ltd. ("Microfilm"); B&B Information and Image Management, Inc.
("B&B"); Premier Document Management, Inc. and PDM Services, Inc. ("Premier");
Robert A. Cook and Staff, Inc. and RAC Services, Inc. ("Cook"); Octo, Inc.
("Octo"); Domor Data Processing ("Domor"); Index Record Management ("Index");
Rushmore Legal Support ("Rushmore"); 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");
ZIA Information Analysis Group ("ZIA"); Carton Hodgson, Inc. and CH Direct, Inc.
(collectively "Carton"); Data Input Services Corporation ("DISC"); Deliverex of
Seattle ("Deliverex Seattle"); Researchers Litigation Support, L.L.C.
("Researchers LLC"); and Rust. The aggregate consideration paid for the 17
acquisitions accounted for as purchases consisted of $32.3 million in cash,
820,065 shares of Common Stock net of stock repurchased by the Company, and
future contingent payment estimates of $2,664,000 to be paid in cash and stock.
The preliminary allocation of the purchase price is set forth below:
 
<TABLE>
<S>                                                           <C>
Consideration Paid..........................................  $46,323,000
Estimated Fair Value of Tangible Assets.....................   15,261,000
Estimated Fair Value of Liabilities.........................   12,012,000
Goodwill....................................................   43,074,000
</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.
 
     The fair market value of the shares of Common Stock used in calculating the
consideration paid ranged from $13.65 to $14.25, which is based on approximately
a 35% discount from the average trading price of the Common Stock based on the
length and type of stock resale restrictions outlined in the purchase
agreements.
 
     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 is being 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, ZIA, Carton and DISC
acquisitions is not deductible for income tax purposes.
 
     The acquisition of Rust in December 1996 for 110,000 shares of Common Stock
was accounted for as a pooling-of-interests. The consolidated financial
statements of the Company were not restated for periods prior to January 1, 1996
due to the financial immateriality of Rust. The December 31, 1995 retained
earnings of Rust have been presented as a restatement of the Company's beginning
retained earnings. The interim results of the Company for the period from
January 1, 1996 through September 30, 1996 have been restated for the Rust
acquisition. Restated total revenue, net income, pro forma net income and
weighted average shares outstanding after giving effect to the
pooling-of-interests with Rust are summarized below. Pro forma net income
reflects adjustments for the Compensation Differential and the related income
tax effect.

     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 initially could borrow on a revolving credit basis loans in an
aggregate outstanding principal amount up to $35.0 million from time to time
under the secured revolving credit and acquisition facility, subject to certain
customary borrowing capacity requirements. The Line of Credit is secured by the
receivables and equipment of F.Y.I. and its subsidiaries and by the stock of the
subsidiaries. As of December 31, 1996, the availability under the Line of Credit
was $13.8 million.
 
     The Company and its subsidiaries may borrow revolving credit loans up to an
aggregate $5.0 million under the Line of Credit 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 Company also has outstanding an irrevocable letter of credit in the
amount of approximately $2.4 million to serve as guarantee for periodic
principal and interest payments related to the Industrial Revenue Bonds.
 
     The Line of Credit requires mandatory prepayments in certain circumstances.
The outstanding principal balance of term loans as of October 15, 1997 is
thereafter 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 is due and payable on April 15, 2001.

11. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY:
 
     December Public Stock Offering:
 
     On December 17, 1996, the Company completed a follow-on public offering
(the "December Offering") of 2,363,000 shares of Common Stock (including the
exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option) at $20.00 per share.
Proceeds from the December Offering, net of underwriting commissions and
offering costs, were approximately $43.6 million. Of these net proceeds,
approximately $22.4 million was used to retire indebtedness, approximately $3.5
million was used to pay a portion of consideration for acquisitions in December,
$0.6 million was used to retire indebtedness assumed in acquisitions, and the
remaining $17.1 million is being used as working capital and for additional
acquisitions.
 
     Stock Options and Warrants:
 
     At December 31, 1996, the Company had one stock-based compensation plan,
the 1995 Stock Option Plan ("the Plan"), which is described below. The Company
applies APB Opinion 25 and related Interpretations in accounting for the Plan.
Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for the Plan. Had
compensation cost for the Plan been determined based upon the fair value at
grant dates for awards under the Plan consistent with the method of SFAS No.
123, "Accounting for Stock Based Compensation", the Company's net income and
earnings per share would have been $3,444,000 and $0.59, respectively. As
reported net income and earnings per share were $4,031,000 and $0.69,
respectively.
 
     The fair value of each option grant was estimated on the date of the grant
using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions for
1996: risk free interest rate ranging from 5.4% to 6.9%, no dividend yield,
expected life of 3 years, and volatility of 36%.
 
     In October 1995, the Board of Directors and F.Y.I.'s stockholders approved
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 December
31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, approximately 1,037,000 and 650,000 shares,
respectively, were subject to outstanding options.
 
     The Company had options to purchase 690,370 shares outstanding at December
31, 1996. These options, other than those granted to employee directors, are
generally exercisable within 180 days from the date of grant as to 20% of the
underlying shares, and as to an additional 20% on each of the next four
anniversaries of the date of grant. Options are granted at the market price of
the Common Stock on the date of grant.

12. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS:
 
     Certain of the operating companies have qualified defined contribution
employee benefit plans (the "Plans"), the majority of which allow for voluntary
pre-tax contributions by employees. The operating companies pay all general and
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 post-employment or post-retirement benefits. The expense
incurred related to the Plans by the Company was approximately $91,000 for the
year ended December 31, 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 year ended December 31, 1996
was approximately $487,100.
 
  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 had a controlling interest. Effective December 1,
1996, the Company purchased this entity from the shareholder for $2,700,000. The
expense incurred to the entity for the 11 months ended November 30, 1996 was
$32,000 and billings to the entity were $49,000. Additionally, the Company
charged the entity a management fee for accounting services. Management fees
were $25,000 for the eleven months ended November 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.

                    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 revenue
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.

firms, and financial institutions.
 
2.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION:
 
     Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, F.Y.I. and separate wholly
owned subsidiaries of F.Y.I. merged 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
accounts of the other Founding Companies for the year ended December 31, 1993.
The fiscal 1994 and 1995 accounts of Melanson have been recast to a December 31
year-end and have been combined with the accounts of the other Founding
Companies for the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1995. The exclusion of
Melanson's net income for the period from August 1 through December 31, 1993 of
$229,000 is reflected as an adjustment to retained earnings in the December 31,
1994 combined statement of stockholders' equity. The results of operations
related to the adjustment to retained earnings for Melanson included revenues of
$3,820,000 and costs and expenses of $3,591,000 from August 1, through December
31, 1993.
 
     Deliverex's affiliate, ASK, has previously reported on a fiscal year ending
December 31. DLX and PRM have previously reported on a fiscal year ending
September 30. The 1995 accounts of DLX and PRM have been recast to a December 31
year-end and have been combined with the accounts of the other Founding
Companies for the year ended December 31, 1995. The exclusion of DLX and PRM's
net income for the period from October 1 through December 31, 1994 of $44,000 is
reflected as an adjustment to retained earnings in the December 31, 1995
combined statement of stockholders' equity. The results of operations related to
the adjustment to retained earnings for DLX and PRM included revenue of $553,000
and costs and expenses of $509,000 from October 1 through December 31, 1994.
 
     The affiliate of Imagent Corporation, Mobile Information Services, had
previously reported on a fiscal year ending June 30 through fiscal 1992. As
such, the accounts of the affiliate for its 1992 fiscal year have been combined
with the accounts of the other Founding Companies for the years ended December
31, 1992. The exclusion of the affiliate's net income for the period from July 1
through December 31, 1992 of $29,000 is reflected as an adjustment to retained
earnings in the December 31, 1992 combined statement of stockholders' equity.

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 revenue and expenses for tax and financial reporting purposes.
Temporary differences result primarily from accelerated depreciation and
amortization for tax purposes, deferred contract revenue 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:

     Certain of the Founding Companies have qualified defined contribution
employee benefit plans (the "Plans"), the majority of which allow for voluntary
pre-tax contributions by employees. The Founding Companies pay all general and
administrative expenses of the Plans and, in some cases, the Founding Companies
make matching and discretionary contributions to the Plans. The Founding
Companies offer no post-employment or post-retirement benefits. The expenses
incurred related to the Plans by the Founding Companies were $36,000, $63,000,
and $82,000 for the years ending December 31, 1993, 1994, and 1995,
respectively.

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.
 
  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.

                    IMAGENT CORPORATION AND RELATED COMPANY
 
                     NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
1.  BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION:
 
     The accompanying combined financial statements include the accounts of
Imagent Corporation (formerly Mobile Microfilming Corporation) and Mobile
Information Services (collectively the "Company"). The Company is a microfilm
processing laboratory and Kodak distributor of microfilm/microfilming supplies
and a broker of imaging equipment and systems and provides data and document
acquisition services for public and private industry customers. The Company's
customers are primarily located in the Mid-Atlantic region.
 
     The Company and its stockholders entered into a definitive agreement with
F.Y.I. Incorporated ("FYI") in October 1995, pursuant to which the Company will
merge with FYI (the "Merger"). All outstanding shares of the Company's common
stock will be exchanged for cash and shares of FYI's common stock concurrent
with the consummation of the initial public offering (the "Offering") of the
common stock of FYI.
 
2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
 
  Basis of Presentation
 
     The Company is under common control of two stockholders. All significant
intercompany transactions have been eliminated in combination.
 
     Mobile Information Services (MIS) reported on a June 30, 1992 year-end
prior to 1993; as such its accounts for the year ended June 30, 1992 have been
combined with the accounts of Mobile Microfilming Corporation as of December 31,
1992. The results of MIS's operations for the six months ended December 31, 1992
have been reflected as an adjustment to retained earnings. Unaudited revenue 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

             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.
 
3.  PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT:
 
     Property and equipment consist of the following:

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 present 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 present 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's stockholders. 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.

               MELANSON AND ASSOCIATES, INC. AND RELATED COMPANY
 
                     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
 
                                       77

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

             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 present 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 present 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.

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

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

     For purposes of the consolidated federal tax return, the Parent has a net
operating loss carryforward available to offset taxable income of the Company in
1994. The net operating loss carryforward will be fully utilized for the tax
year 1994.
 
7.  401(k) PLAN:
 
     The Company has adopted a contributory 401(k) plan (the "Plan") as of
September 1, 1993. The Plan allows employees to make elective contributions
through salary reduction. The Plan allows for discretionary employer matching.
Participation in the Plan is limited based on certain age and service
requirements. The Company made no contribution to the Plan for the years ended
December 31, 1995 and 1994.
 
8.  OPERATING LEASES:
 
     The Company leases office space under an operating lease which expires in
1998. The future minimum annual rental payments required under this operating
lease as of December 31, 1995 are as follows:

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 from time to time, a party to litigation arising in the
normal course of business, most 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 the operations of the Company.
 
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.)

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

                         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:

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

             NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
customers are state and public institutions. The Company establishes an
allowance for doubtful accounts based upon factors surrounding the credit risk
of specific customers, historical trends, and other information.

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
 
                                       121

           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.

  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 and unemployment 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.
 
11.  CAPITAL STOCK:
 
     Common stock at December 31, 1995, consists of the following:

     ASK's common stock is 65% owned by the 100% stockholder of DLX. PRM has
10,000 shares of no par value common stock authorized, issued, and outstanding.
PRM's common stock is owned by DLX.
 
     In December 1994, ASK approved the reissuance of 10,000 shares of treasury
stock to its minority stockholder. Compensation expense was recorded in 1994,
equivalent to the repurchase cost in 1992. The shares were reissued on January
1, 1995.

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

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

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

                      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, F.Y.I.
Incorporated and Subsidiaries and the individual Founding Companies. 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"). 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. 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 the date of acquisition have
been recast and combined with the results of F.Y.I. for the year ended December
31, 1996. Also, as of August 1996, the Company acquired ZIA. In October 1996,
the Company acquired Carton, and in November 1996, the Company acquired DISC.
All of these 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 give effect to: (i) the acquisitions of B&B, Premier, Cook,
Medical Record, ZIA, Carton and DISC (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 year ended
December 31, 1996 are based upon:
 
          (i) the audited statement of operations of F.Y.I. for the period from
     February 1, 1996 to December 31, 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, Medical Record, Carton and DISC 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

<PAGE>   136
 
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.
