ITEM 1.           BUSINESS

GENERAL

         ChoicePoint Inc., a Georgia corporation ("ChoicePoint" or the
"Company"), is the leading provider of identification and credential
verification services which transform data into Actionable Intelligence(TM).
ChoicePoint became an independent public company in August 1997 through the
combination of the businesses that had comprised the Insurance Services Group of
Equifax Inc. ("Equifax") within a separate company and the subsequent spinoff
(the "Spinoff") of the Company's outstanding stock by Equifax as a stock
dividend to the shareholders of Equifax. References to ChoicePoint or the
Company mean ChoicePoint Inc., its subsidiaries and divisions after the Spinoff
and the Insurance Services Group of Equifax prior to the Spinoff.

         Based on market share, ChoicePoint is a leading provider of risk
management and fraud prevention information and related technology solutions to
the insurance industry. The Company also offers risk management and fraud
prevention solutions to organizations in other industries. The Company operates
its business through two primary service groups: Insurance Services and Business
& Government Services.

         The Insurance Services group provides information products and services
used in the underwriting, claims and marketing processes by property and
casualty insurers. Insurance Services' major offerings include claims history
data, motor vehicle records, credit information and marketing and modeling
services to the personal lines property and casualty market; and customized
policy rating and issuance software and property inspections and audits to the
commercial insurance market. The Business & Government Services group provides
information products and services and direct marketing services primarily to
Fortune 1000 corporations, consumer finance companies, asset-based lenders,
legal and professional service providers, health care service providers and
federal, state and local government agencies. Major offerings include
pre-employment background screenings and drug testing administration services,
public record searches, credential verification, due diligence information,
Uniform Commercial Code searches and filings, database marketing services,
people and shareholder locator information services, and DNA identification
services.

         ChoicePoint's strategic goal is to be a leading provider of enhanced
information services to a broad range of industries. The Company is continuing
to expand its data distribution, data gathering and technological capabilities,
and believes that it is positioned to offer a variety of new products to a
diverse set of industries. The Company intends to accomplish its goals by
expanding its presence in business and government markets, pursuing acquisitions
and strategic alliances, developing and enhancing key technological capabilities
and maintaining solid financial performance.

STRATEGIC ACQUISITIONS, DIVESTITURES AND ALLIANCES

         The Company's acquisition strategy is to purchase or partner with
organizations that add new data, markets and technology to ChoicePoint's
operations.

         To add to its drug testing medical review officer offerings, in 1997
ChoicePoint acquired the assets of Drug Free, Inc., a drug testing information
services company. In April 1998, ChoicePoint acquired the assets of Attest
National Drug Testing, Inc., a drug testing information services company, and in
June 1998 Application Profiles, Inc., a full service background investigation
company. In October 1998, the Company acquired Informus Corporation ("Informus")
in order to leverage their Internet technology and expand its automated
offerings in the pre-employment screening market. The Informus acquisition
allows the Company to provide a complete range of Web-based solutions by
integrating its pre-employment background and drug testing services over the
Internet to its corporate customers, and the acquisition provides further growth
opportunities for the Company in the small to


                                       1
<PAGE>

mid-sized company market. Also in November 1998, the Company acquired
Tyler-McLennon, Inc., a provider of employment background screening services and
record searches.

         In October 1998, the Company acquired ChoicePoint Direct Inc., formerly
known as Customer Development Corporation ("ChoicePoint Direct"). ChoicePoint
Direct is a full-service, fully integrated database marketing company providing
customized marketing programs primarily for clients in the insurance, consumer
finance, publishing and banking industries.

         In November 1998, the Company acquired EquiSearch Services, Inc.
("EquiSearch"). The EquiSearch acquisition allowed the Company to expand its
value-added applications of Company data and to offer consumer-benefit services.
EquiSearch's primary function is to contract with companies or stock transfer
agents to locate lost stockholders of Fortune 1000 and other public
corporations.

         In December 1998, in order to increase the Company's presence in the
personal automobile insurance market, ChoicePoint acquired DATEQ Information
Network, Inc. ("DATEQ"), a provider of underwriting services to that market. The
DATEQ acquisition allowed the Company to bring enhanced risk assessment products
and services to its core insurance customer base.

         Also in December 1998, the Company sold its life and health insurance
field underwriting services and insurance claim investigation services to PMSI
Services, Inc. This transaction, when combined with the December 1997 sale of
the paramedical examination business to Pediatric Services of America, Inc.,
completed ChoicePoint's strategy of exiting the labor-intensive life and health
and investigative field businesses.

         In May 1999, the Company purchased the assets of Washington Document
Service, Inc., a leading nationwide court document research and retrieval
company serving the legal market, which complements the Company's existing
public record service. In July 1999, the Company acquired Data Tracks
Technology, Inc., a public record information company based in Sarasota,
Florida. This acquisition strengthens the Company's online public record data in
the Florida market and brings a strong web-based solution that is leveragable
into certain markets and customers. In November 1999, the Company acquired the
assets of DataMart, Inc. which provides software database services for
ChoicePoint companies.

         In January 2000, the Company completed the sale of its operations in
the United Kingdom to Experian Limited, including the CUE UK database, a
proprietary database containing home and motor insurance claims information.
Also in January 2000, the Company purchased Statewide Data Services, Inc.
("SDS"), the insurance industry's largest provider of prospecting leads and
related services to property and casualty agents. Management believes that this
acquisition, combined with the Company's underwriting information and direct
marketing services, provides the insurance industry with a complete and
integrated suite of direct marketing products and services.

         Effective February 1, 2000, the Company acquired NSA Resources, Inc.
("NSA"), one of the largest independent drug testing administration companies in
the United States, to strengthen the Company's position as a leading
single-source provider of pre-employment solutions. NSA contracts with customers
as a third-party administrator of drug tests used for determining employment
eligibility.

         On May 16, 2000, the Company completed a merger with DBT Online, Inc.,
a public record services provider ("DBT") and competitor of ChoicePoint Public
Records Group ("ChoicePoint PRG"), whereby DBT shareholders received .525 shares
(pre-split) of newly-issued shares of ChoicePoint common stock for each share of
DBT common stock owned. Headquartered in Boca Raton, Florida, DBT serves
corporations and the legal, insurance and investigative markets.

         In October 2000, the Company acquired RRS Police Records Management,
Inc., a provider of police reports and related services to the property and
casualty industry. In November 2000 the Company acquired the policy processing
and interface management services assets of VIS'N Service Corporation and the
data collection assets of


                                       2
<PAGE>

Cat Data Group, LLC. In December 2000, the Company acquired the assets of Drug
Free Consortium, to provide additional drug testing services.

         In January 2001, the Company acquired BTi Employee Screening Services,
Inc. ("BTi"), an employee pre-screening services company and ABI Consulting
Inc., a third-party administrator of workplace drug and alcohol testing
programs. In February 2001, the Company acquired Insurity Solutions, Inc., a
provider of Internet-based insurance rating, underwriting and policy servicing
technology.

         In March 2001, the Company acquired certain assets of National Medical
Review Offices, Inc., a large provider of medical review office services. In
April 2001, the Company acquired The Bode Technology Group, Inc. ("Bode Labs"),
a premier provider of DNA identification services.

         In July 2001, the Company acquired Marketing Information & Technology,
Inc. ("MITI"), a provider of large-scale direct marketing systems for Fortune
500 clients, and the pre-employment and drug testing businesses of Pinkerton's,
Inc., a unit of Securitas AB of Sweden.

         In August 2001, the Company sold the Osborn Group Inc., its laboratory
services business, to LabOne, Inc., which completes the Company's strategy to
exit the life and health insurance market.

         In January 2002, the Company acquired certain assets from Experian
Information Solutions, Inc. consisting of on-line consumer credit reporting,
marketing and pre-screen list extract services for the insurance market.

PRODUCTS AND CUSTOMERS

         As indicated above, the Company operates through two primary service
groups: Insurance Services and Business & Government Services. ChoicePoint's
offices are located throughout the United States. The Company's business is not
materially seasonal. The following table reflects the revenue generated by each
of ChoicePoint's two primary service groups, and from the royalty and divested
and discontinued product lines, from 1999 through 2001 and the percentage
contribution by each group to ChoicePoint's revenue for each such year. The
royalty revenue is generated from laser technology patents held by the Company.
The remaining patents underlying this revenue expire between November 2004 and
May 2005.

ChoicePointLink(R) (insurance agent software), and driver's license information.
C.L.U.E. is a proprietary database comprised of claims information contributed

enables them to assess underwriting risks and pending claims in the auto and
home insurance markets. ChoicePoint's proprietary ChoicePoint Rules(TM) systems
automate customer-specific decision making criteria to provide property and
casualty insurance underwriters with decision management tools that streamline
and reduce the cost of the underwriting process. This service group offers

provides services to the commercial property and casualty insurance market.
Those services include commercial inspections for underwriting purposes, workers
compensation audits of commercial properties, marketing and modeling services to
the personal lines property and casualty market and development of high-end

and health insurance companies in the United States.

casualty and life and health insurance markets, ChoicePoint provides risk

screening program management and administration and due diligence and credential
verification services to legal and professional service providers, and (iii) DNA
identification services.

         The Company also provides enhanced information services to government

provides online and on-demand searches and filings of public business records,

and range of products and services offered.

SOURCES OF SUPPLY

         ChoicePoint's operations depend upon information derived from a wide
variety of automated and manual sources. External sources of data include public
records information companies, governmental authorities and on-line search
systems. ChoicePoint has no reason to anticipate the termination of any
significant relationships with data suppliers. However, if material changes in
state or federal laws regulating or prohibiting the distribution of public
records were to occur, the Company's business, financial condition and results
of operations could be materially affected. In the event that such a termination
occurred, the Company believes that it could acquire the data from other
sources; however, such termination could have a material adverse effect on the
Company's financial condition or results of operations.

         ChoicePoint currently maintains databases that contain information
provided and used by insurance underwriters. The information comprising these
databases is not owned by ChoicePoint, and the participating organizations could
discontinue contributing information to the databases. If this were to occur,
the Company's financial condition and results of operations would be materially
affected. ChoicePoint believes, however, that such an event is unlikely because
contributors to the databases depend upon the aggregated information in such
databases to conduct their business operations.

EMPLOYEES

         As of December 31, 2001, ChoicePoint employed approximately 5,000
persons, none of whom were unionized. All of the Company's workforce is employed
in the United States. As of December 31, 2001,


                                       5
<PAGE>

ChoicePoint employed approximately 290 individuals in Hartford, Connecticut in
its Insurity facilities, approximately 130 individuals in Santa Ana, California
at its ChoicePoint PRG location, approximately 350 individuals in Peoria,
Illinois in its ChoicePoint Direct location, approximately 130 employees at its
CP Commercial Specialists office in Overland Park, Kansas, approximately 130
individuals in the WorkPlace Solutions St. Petersburg, Florida office,
approximately 30 employees in White Plains, New York at its EquiSearch offices,
and approximately 40 individuals at the Boston, Massachusetts MITI office. The
Company has approximately 260 employees in Pensacola, Florida at the SDS office,
approximately 50 NSA employees in Nashville, Tennessee, approximately 60
employees at Bode Labs in Springfield, Virginia, approximately 60 BTi employees
in Dallas, Texas, approximately 90 employees in the WorkPlace Solutions Los
Angeles, California office, approximately 150 WorkPlace Solutions employees in
the Charlotte, North Carolina office and 300 DBT employees in Boca Raton,
Florida. Approximately 1,120 individuals are employed in the Atlanta area in the
Company's headquarters and three branch office locations. The balance of
ChoicePoint's employees is located in the Company's remaining offices.
ChoicePoint believes that its relations with its employees are good.

PROPRIETARY MATTERS

         ChoicePoint owns a number of trademarks and trade names that
ChoicePoint believes are important to its business. Except for the ChoicePoint
trademark and logo, however, the Company is not dependent upon any single
trademark or trade name or group of trademarks or trade names. The current
duration for federal registrations range from seven to fifteen years, but each
trademark registration generally may be renewed an unlimited number of times as
long as the trademark is in use. Other trademarks and trade names used in the
Company's business are registered and maintained in the U.S. ChoicePoint,
AutoTrackXP(R) and C.L.U.E. are registered trademarks of ChoicePoint Asset
Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

         ChoicePoint owns a 62.5% interest in revenue relating to certain
patents involving laser technology, which expires between November 2004 and May
2005. Upon the expiration of the applicable patent, ChoicePoint loses its right
to exclude others from exploiting the inventions claimed therein, and
accordingly, the obligations of third parties to make royalty payments will
cease.

ITEM 2.           PROPERTIES

         ChoicePoint's principal executive offices are located in 206,000 square
feet of office space in Alpharetta, Georgia, a suburb of Atlanta. ChoicePoint
maintains approximately 73 other offices in the United States. These offices,
all of which are leased, contain a total of approximately 752,000 square feet of
space. Through ChoicePoint Health Systems Inc., ChoicePoint owns two laboratory
facilities in Olathe, Kansas with approximately 76,000 square feet of space.
Through ChoicePoint Direct, ChoicePoint owns four buildings in Peoria, Illinois
representing approximately 182,000 square feet of space. Through ChoicePoint
Services Inc., ChoicePoint owns a building in Norcross, Georgia representing
approximately 8,400 square feet. The Company ordinarily leases office space of
the general commercial type for conducting its business.

         In 2002 ChoicePoint began construction on a 200,000 square foot data
center adjacent to its principal executive offices at the Alpharetta, Georgia
location.

ITEM 3.           LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

         ChoicePoint is involved in litigation from time to time in the ordinary
course of its business. The Company does not believe that the outcome of any
pending or threatened litigation will have a material adverse effect on the
financial condition or results of operations of ChoicePoint. However, as is
inherent in legal proceedings where issues may be decided by finders of fact,
there is a risk that unpredictable decisions materially adverse to the Company
could be reached.

ITEM 4.           SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

         No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders by the Company
during the quarter ended December 31, 2001.

                                     PART II

ITEM 5.           MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED
                  STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

         The Company's common stock is listed and traded on the New York Stock
Exchange under the symbol "CPS." Information regarding the high and low sales
prices and the number of holders of the common stock is set forth under the
captions "Market Information" and "Quarterly Stock Performance" on page 49 of
the 2001 Annual Report to Shareholders (the "Annual Report"), a copy of which
page is included in Exhibit 13 to this Form 10-K and is incorporated herein by
reference.

         The Company does not pay cash dividends and does not anticipate paying
any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. The Company currently intends to
retain future earnings to finance its operations and the expansion of its
business. Any future determination to pay cash dividends will be at the
discretion of the Company's Board of Directors and will be dependent upon the
Company's financial condition, operating results, capital requirements and such
other factors as the Board of Directors deems relevant.

ITEM 6.           SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

         The information included under the caption "Financial Highlights" on
the inside front cover page of the Annual Report, a copy of which page is
included in Exhibit 13 to this Form 10-K, is incorporated herein by reference.

ITEM 7.           MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                  AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL

         The information included under the caption "Management's Discussion and
Analysis" on pages 24 through 30 of the Annual Report, a copy of which pages are
included in Exhibit 13 to this Form 10-K, is incorporated herein by reference.

RISK FACTORS

                  You should carefully consider each of the following risk
         factors and all of the other information in this Annual Report on Form
         10-K. These risks are not the only ones we face. Our business
         operations could also be impaired by additional risks and uncertainties
         that, at present, are not known to us or that, at present, we consider
         immaterial.

                  If any of the following risks and uncertainties develops into
         actual events, our business, financial condition and results of
         operations could be materially and adversely affected. If that happens,
         the trading prices of our common stock and any other securities we may
         issue in the future could decline significantly.

                  The risk factors below contain forward-looking statements
         regarding ChoicePoint. Actual results could differ materially from
         those set forth in the forward-looking statements. See "Cautionary
         Statements Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" on page i, following
         the "Table of Contents."

         CUSTOMERS

                  We have few long-term agreements with our customers. Although
         our management believes that the quality of our products and services
         should permit us to maintain relationships with our customers, there
         can be no assurance that we will do so. Any loss of a significant
         number of our major customers would have a material adverse effect on
         our business, financial condition, and results of operations.


                                       9
<PAGE>

                  Our customers include federal, state, and local governments.
         Government business is subject to many unique risks, such as delays in
         funding, reduction or modification of contracts or subcontracts,
         failure to exercise options, changes in government policies, and the
         imposition of budgetary restraints. A loss of government contract
         revenues also could have a material adverse effect on our business,
         financial condition, and results of operations.

                  The acquisition or consolidation of our customers by another
         company could decrease the demand for our products and services. After
         consolidation, these companies may reorganize management
         responsibilities or strategic and purchasing decisions that could
         adversely affect demand for our products and services. We may lose
         business relationships with key contacts within a customer's
         organization due to budget cuts, layoffs, or other changes resulting
         from an acquisition or consolidation. The consolidation of companies
         also may alter the technological infrastructure of the combined entity,
         and our products and services may not be compatible with the new
         technological system.

         ACQUISITIONS

                  Our long-term business strategy includes growth through
         acquisitions. While we believe we have been successful in implementing
         this strategy during prior years, we are not certain that we will
         complete future acquisitions on acceptable terms or that we will
         successfully integrate any acquired assets, data or businesses into our
         operations. Any acquisitions or investments will be accompanied by the
         risks commonly encountered in acquisitions of businesses. Such risks
         include, among other things:

                  -        paying more than fair market value for an acquired
                           company or assets;

                  -        failing to integrate the operations and personnel of
                           the acquired businesses in an efficient, timely
                           manner;

                  -        assuming potential liabilities arising from
                           the products of an acquired company;

                  -        managing the potential disruption of our ongoing
                           business;

                  -        distracting management focus from our core business;

                  -        impairing relationships with employees, customers,
                           and strategic partners;

                  -        incurring expenses associated with the amortization
                           of other intangibles;

                  -        incurring expenses associated with a write-off of a
                           portion of goodwill and other intangible assets due
                           to changes in market conditions, weak economies in
                           certain competitive markets, or the failure of
                           certain acquisitions to realize expected benefits; or

                  -        diluting the share value and voting power of existing
                           shareholders.

         SUPPLIERS

                  We depend upon third-party information suppliers for
         information used in our databases. The loss of some of our data supply
         sources could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
         condition, and results of operations. We rely extensively upon data
         from external sources to maintain our proprietary and non-proprietary
         databases, and our operations depend upon information derived from a
         wide variety of automated and manual sources. We obtain data from
         public records, information companies, governmental authorities,
         competitors, and customers. Our agreements with our data suppliers are
         generally short-term agreements. Some of our suppliers are also our
         competitors, which may make us vulnerable to unpredictable price
         increases and may cause some suppliers not to renew certain agreements.
         We have no reason to anticipate the termination of any significant
         relationships with these data suppliers and believe that in most cases
         substitute suppliers could be arranged if any termination occurred.
         However, such a termination could have a material adverse effect on our
         business, financial condition, and results of operations if we were
         unable to arrange for substitute sources.

                  We currently maintain databases that contain information
         provided and used by insurance


                                       10
<PAGE>

         underwriters. We do not own the information in these databases, and the
         participating organizations could discontinue contributing information
         to the databases. If this information was withheld, our business,
         financial condition, and results of operations would be materially
         adversely affected.

                  We use social security numbers to generate certain reports.
         Social security numbers could become unavailable to us in the future
         because of changes in the law or because data suppliers decide not to
         supply them to us. If we cannot obtain this information in the future,
         we will be unable to generate reports as efficiently. Although we use
         names, addresses, and dates of birth to generate our reports, without
         the use of social security numbers, we believe that those reports would
         not be as complete or as accurate as the reports generated with social
         security numbers. We also would incur significant expense to revise the
         software we use to generate reports. Less complete or less accurate
         reports could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and
         results of operations.

                  We obtain the credit header data in our databases from
         consumer credit reporting agencies. The data consists of names,
         addresses, social security numbers, and dates of birth. Any of these
         suppliers could stop supplying this data to us or could substantially
         increase their prices. Withholding this data could materially adversely
         affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

         COMPETITION

                  The business and consumer marketing information industry in
         which we operate is highly competitive, and we expect it to remain
         highly competitive. In each of our markets, we compete on the basis of
         price, quality, customer service, product and service selection. Our
         competitive position in various market segments depends upon the
         relative strength of our competitors in the segment and the resources
         devoted to competing in that segment. Due to their size, certain
         competitors may be able to allocate greater resources to a particular
         market segment than we can. As a result, they may be in a better
         position to anticipate and respond to changing customer preferences,
         emerging technologies and market trends. In addition, new competitors
         and alliances may emerge to take market share away from us. We cannot
         assure you that we will be able to maintain or strengthen our
         competitive position in our market segments, especially against larger
         competitors. If we fail to successfully compete, our business,
         financial condition and results of operations may be adversely
         affected.

         GOVERNMENT REGULATION AND ADVERSE PUBLICITY

                  Because we use personal and public record information to
         search our databases and access the databases of others, we are
         vulnerable to government regulation and adverse publicity concerning
         these uses. We provide many types of data and services which already
         are subject to regulation under the Fair Credit Reporting Act,
         Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, Drivers' Privacy Protection Act, and to a
         lesser extent, various other federal, state, and local laws and
         regulations. These laws and regulations are designed to protect the
         privacy of the public and to prevent the misuse of personal information
         in the marketplace. However, many consumer advocates, privacy
         advocates, and government regulators believe the existing laws and
         regulations do not adequately protect privacy. They have become
         increasingly concerned with the use of personal information,
         particularly social security numbers, motor vehicle reports, and dates
         of birth. As a result, they are lobbying for further restrictions on
         the dissemination or commercial use of personal information. The
         following legal and regulatory developments could have a material
         adverse affect on our business, financial condition, and results of
         operations:

                  -        amendment, enactment, or interpretation of laws and
                           regulations which restrict the access and use of
                           personal information and reduce the supply of data
                           available to our customers;

                  -        changes in cultural and consumer attitudes to favor
                           further restrictions on information collection and
                           sharing;

                  -        failure of our products and services to help our
                           customers comply with current laws and regulations;
                           and

                  -        failure of our products and services to adapt to
                           changes in the regulatory environment in an
                           efficient, cost-effective manner.

         ATTRACTING AND RETAINING QUALIFIED PERSONNEL

                  We cannot be certain that we can continue to attract and
         retain sufficient qualified management, technical, sales, or other
         personnel necessary to conduct our business successfully. The
         resignation, retirement, death or disability of our Chief Executive
         Officer or Chief Operating Officer and the inability to sufficiently
         replace either position could adversely affect our business.

         SYSTEM INTERRUPTIONS

                  System interruptions could delay and disrupt our products and
         services, cause harm to our business and reputation, and result in a
         loss of customers. We depend heavily upon our computer systems, most of
         which are located in Alpharetta, Georgia and Boca Raton, Florida, to
         provide reliable, uninterrupted service. Certain events beyond our
         control, such as fires, floods, earthquakes, hurricanes, power losses,
         and telecommunications failures, could damage our computer networks and
         temporarily or permanently interrupt services to our customers. Our
         systems in Boca Raton, Florida are particularly susceptible to
         hurricanes. These interruptions also may interfere with our suppliers'
         ability to provide data and our employees' ability to attend work and
         perform their responsibilities. We have attempted to shield our systems
         from interruptions and failures, and we carry property and business
         interruption insurance in case these events occur. However, our system
         safeguards and our insurance still may not adequately protect us from
         losses arising from system interruptions.

         SECURITY BREACHES

                  Security breaches in our facilities, computer networks, and
         databases may cause harm to our business and reputation and result in a
         loss of customers. We have instituted many security measures to protect
         our systems and to assure the marketplace that our systems are secure.
         However, despite such security measures, our systems may be vulnerable
         to physical break-ins, computer viruses, attacks by hackers, or similar
         disruptive problems. Third-party contractors also may experience
         security breaches involving the storage and transmission of proprietary
         information. If unauthorized users gain access to our databases, they
         may be able to steal, publish, delete or modify confidential
         third-party information that is stored or transmitted on our networks.
         A security or privacy breach may affect us in the following ways:

                  -        deterring customers from using our products and
                           services;

                  -        harming our reputation;

                  -        exposing us to liability;

                  -        increasing our operating expenses to correct problems
                           caused by the breach; or

                  -        affecting our ability to meet our customers'
                           expectations;

                  -        causing inquiry from governmental authorities.

         ECONOMY

         The current general economic downturn could continue to result in a
         reduced demand for our products and services. Our revenues are
         dependent to a certain extent upon general economic conditions and upon
         conditions in the insurance industries. Certain of our revenues are
         derived from pre-employment screening services. The revenue growth and
         profitability of our business depends on the overall demand for our
         existing and new products. A softening of demand for our information
         services caused by a weakening of the economy generally may result in
         decreased revenues or lower growth rates. We cannot be certain that


                                       12
<PAGE>

         our future revenues, results of operations, cash flows and
         profitability will not fluctuate on a quarterly or annual basis or that
         we will be able to refinance our existing Credit Facility.

         DIRECT MARKETING

                  Our direct marketing products and services could be vulnerable
         to the following risks:

                  -        development of other methods of sales and advertising
                           that are more effective than direct marketing;

                  -        changes in laws and regulations relating to data
                           privacy; and

                  -        increases in postal rates or disruption in the
                           availability of postal services that could increase
                           the cost of direct mail production and processing and
                           reduce demand for information among our direct mail
                           customers.

         NEW PRODUCTS, SERVICES, AND TECHNOLOGIES

                  Our growth partially depends on our ability to develop and
         market new products, services and technologies. We have focused on
         developing growth opportunities in a number of potential markets. We
         cannot assure you that we will be successful in developing new
         products, services and technologies or that they will gain market
         acceptance or generate significant revenue. Our initiatives are in
         various stages of development and may be subject to delays in
         implementation, customer dissatisfaction with product or service
         performance or other significant undetected problems. If we fail to
         successfully introduce new initiatives, our business, financial
         condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.

ITEM 7A.          QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

         The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates.
The information below summarizes the Company's market risk associated with its
debt obligations as of December 31, 2001. The information below should be read
in conjunction with Note 5 of the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements"
on pages 40 and 41 of the Annual Report, copies of which pages are included in
Exhibit 13 to this Form 10-K and are incorporated herein by reference.

         In August 1997, ChoicePoint entered into a $250.0 million unsecured
revolving credit facility (the "Credit Facility") with a group of banks. As of
December 31, 2001, $155 million was outstanding under the Credit Facility. The
Company has entered into two interest rate swap agreements (the "Swap
Agreements") to reduce the impact of changes in interest rates on its floating
rate obligations. The interest rate swap agreement hedging the Credit Facility
has a notional amount of $125 million at December 31, 2001 and 2000 and matures
in August 2002. The other interest rate swap agreement hedges the synthetic
lease, has a notional amount of $25 million at December 31, 2001 and 2000 and
matures in August 2007. The Swap Agreements involve the exchange of variable
rate for fixed rate payments and effectively change the Company's interest rate
exposure to a weighted average fixed rate of 6.45%. In July 2001, the Company
and certain of its subsidiaries entered into an agreement (the "Receivables
Facility") with a financial institution whereby it may sell on a continuous
basis, and without recourse, an undivided interest in all eligible trade
accounts receivable subject to limitations. The Receivables Facility permits the
advance of up to $100 million on the sale of accounts receivable. There were no
sales of accounts receivable under the Receivables Facility during 2001.

         Based on the Company's overall interest rate exposure at December 31,
2001, a near-term change in interest rates would not materially affect the
consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the
Company.

                  AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

         Upon the recommendation of the audit committee of the board of
directors, the board appointed Deloitte & Touche LLP as the Company's
independent public accountants for 2002. This appointment is subject to

accountants from the Spinoff through 2001. The Company had no disagreements with
Arthur Andersen on accounting or financial disclosure issues. For additional
