# AVERT, INC.NOTES
TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The
financial information contained herein is unaudited, but includes all
adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) which, in the opinion
of management, are necessary to present fairly the information set forth. The
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Notes to Financial
Statements which are included in the Annual Report on Form 10-KSB of the Company
for the year ended December 31, 2000.

The
results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be
expected for the fiscal year of the Company ending December 31, 2001. The
Company believes that the three month report filed on Form 10-Q is
representative of its financial position, its results of operations and its cash
flows as of and for the periods ended March 31, 2001 and 2000 covered thereby.

In
previous periods, the Company recognized set-up fees when received. In response
to SAB 101, the Company has adopted a policy of deferring set-up fees and
incremental direct acquisition costs over the estimated life of the customer
(generally three years). As incremental acquisition costs exceed the set-up fees
received, incremental acquisition costs are only deferred to the extent of
set-up fee income. Therefore, the change in policy had no effect on net income.
This change in policy also did not have a material effect on prior or current
revenues or expenses.

The
Company executed a Convertible Promissory Note with eScreen Holdings, Inc., in
July 2000 in the amount of $1,000,000. The interest rate is 10%, with all
principal and interest due and payable in July, 2001. The indebtedness is
guaranteed by both the entity itself, as well as personally by its owner. The
Company has accrued interest on a monthly basis.

On
March 30, 2001, Avert, Inc. acquired the business and substantially of the
assets of Advantage Assessment, Inc., (Advantage) for a combination
of cash, assumption of certain liabilities and common stock valued at $1.7
million. Advantage has been a provider of assessment testing since 1998. The
Advantage Assessment Testing System is a dual approach to employment screening,
which includes a personality inventory and cognitive ability test. The system
provides for an evaluation of prominent personal and interpersonal competencies
and the cognitive abilities of the applicant. The testing period is brief and
the test(s) may be administered either on-line or in a paper and pencil format.
The transaction was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and
resulted in the purchase price being totally allocated to net tangible assets
and intangible assets totaling $1,198,000. The purchase price was $1 million in
cash and 45,000 shares of unregistered common stock, no par value, of Avert and
the assumption of approximately $150,000 in liabilities. The cash and stock
purchase price was paid in April, 2001 and as a result an acquisition liability
was recorded as of March 31, 2001 and is included in Accrued expenses and
other on the Balance Sheet. The results of the Advantage acquisition have
been consolidated with those of Avert, Inc. effective March 31, 2001. There was
no net effect on the cash flow statement as of March 31, 2001, as the stock and
cash disbursements were not made until April, 2001.

## Financial
Condition

The
Companys financial position at March 31, 2001 remained strong with working
capital at that date of 7,574,000 compared to $10,102,000 at December 31,2000.
Cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2001 were $2,622,000 and increased from
$666,000 at December 31, 2000. Marketable Securities at March 31, 2001 were
$4,979,000 as compared to $7,319,000 at December 31, 2000. Net cash provided
from operations for the three month period ended March 31, 2001 was $3,347,000
and consisted primarily of $2,340,000 decrease in marketable securities, a
$435,000 increase in accounts payable and a net income of $698,000. The Company
had capital expenditures of $502,000 for the three month period ended March 31,
2001 as compared to $187,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2000. The
majority of the capital expenditures during the three months ended March 31,
2001 was attributable to ongoing implementation of software development and
enhancements and upgrades to internal software programs used in servicing
customers and upgrades of existing hardware. In addition, initial expenses were
incurred for a 6,000 square foot addition to the building is planned to be
completed by approximately Fall 2001. The estimated construction cost is
approximately $600,000 with an additional $100,000 for furniture, and is
estimated to accommodate up to approximately 50-60 additional personnel. Net
cash used in financing activities for the three month period ended March 31,
2001 was $889,000 and consisted primarily of a $1,000,000 cash dividend of $.30
per common share payable in March 30, 2001 to shareholders of record on March 9,
2001.

On
March 30, 2001, Avert, Inc. acquired the business and substantially of the
assets of Advantage Assessment, Inc., (Advantage) for a combination
of cash, assumption of certain liabilities and common stock valued at $1.7
million. Advantage has been a provider of assessment testing since 1998. The
Advantage Assessment Testing System is a dual approach to employment screening,
which includes a personality inventory and cognitive ability test. The system
provides for an evaluation of prominent personal and interpersonal competencies
and the cognitive abilities of the applicant. The testing period is brief and
the test(s) may be administered either on-line or in a paper and pencil format.
The transaction was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and
resulted in the purchase price being totally allocated to net tangible assets
and intangible assets totaling $1,198,000. The purchase price was $1 million in
cash and 45,000 shares of unregistered common stock, no par value, of Avert and
the assumption of approximately $150,000 in liabilities. The cash and stock
purchase price was paid in April, 2001 and as a result an acquisition liability
was recorded as of March 31, 2001 and is included in Accrued expenses and
other on the Balance Sheet. The results of the Advantage acquisition have
been consolidated with those of Avert, Inc. effective March 31, 2001. There was
no net effect on the cash flow statement as of March 31, 2001, as the stock and
cash disbursements were not made until April, 2001.

The
primary objective of the acquisition of AIS was the addition of a product line
that expanded Averts offering of employment screening services. Avert is
offering assessment testing as a stand alone solution to customers who are not
traditional users of other employment screening products (background checking),
and as a component of a complete applicant management and screening solution.
Customers may purchase the product on a single use or subscription basis. Avert
believes that the product offering is applicable to both small and large
businesses. Avert plans to sell through assessment testing through in-house
tele-sales to small and mid-sized businesses, corporate account sales and
through partnerships with providers of human resources software and service
products.

Avert
intends to enhance the existing assessment product through (1) addition of new
features, functionality, and improved integration with existing products; (2)
addition of improved reporting capabilities, and (3) addition of other testing
components. Avert is conducting a number of research studies to measure the
reliability and validity of the both the personal inventory section and
cognitive ability test of the assessment system. The studies are expected to run
from April 2001 to December 2001. Based on the results of the studies additional
enhancement may be necessary. Product releases are scheduled throughout 2001.

## Results of
Operations

Comparison of
quarters ended March 31, 2001 and March 31, 2000

Total
net revenues increased from $3,745,000 for the three-month period ended March
31, 2000 to $4,790,000 for the comparable three-month period in 2001 or
approximately 27.9%. This increase was primarily due to:


    Overall growth of Avert's customer base
        
    Continued use of Avert's criminal history products
        
    Increased membership in Avert subscription models
        
    Increased  usage of package orders

During
the first quarter of 2001, Avert launched a program to build communities of
subscription accounts using our human resource help desk and best business
practices. Through this program and a continued focus on our traditional account
growth Avert added 4,773 new accounts. 1,431 of these accounts represented
background checking accounts comparable with the growth of 1,448 accounts added
in Q1 200 There were 10,218 customers that actually used Avert services the
first three months of 2001. This compares to 9,190 the first three months of
2000, and represents approximately a 11.2% increase. The dollars spent per
customer in the first quarter 2001 increased from $397 in the first quarter 2000
to $456 in the first quarter 2001 representing an approximate 14.9% increase.

Revenues
generated from the criminal history product line continues to represent the
largest revenue producing product, and accounts for approximately
$2,199,000 or 46% of total net revenues in first quarter 2001 as compared to
$1,871,000 or 50% of total net revenues in first quarter 2000. This growth of
approximately 17.5% results from the continued use of the product of its
existing customers, as well as the new customers.

The
Companys distribution arrangement with ADP in which Avert services are
sold to ADP customers, generated revenues of approximately $350,000
in first quarter 2000, and increased to approximately $635,000 in revenues in
first quarter 2001. This represents an 81.4% increase. Avert has a User
Agreement with the ADP customer, which is cancellable at any time by either
party. The ADP partnership continues to be developed, and the Company believes
it to be one that could create substantial revenues upcoming year as well.

In
addition, the increase in the customer base mentioned above, resulted in
increased revenues from the Avert Advantage On-line subscriptions, and
accounted for approximately $132,000 in the first three months of 2000, as
compared to approximately $169,000 in the first three months of 2001. As the
customer base continues to grow, revenues from memberships will continue to grow
accordingly, and represent a recurring revenue stream.

As
part of its on-line order entry system, Avert has created the ability for its
customers to order through packages, which is a bundling of Averts
products and services. This method enables them to consistently order a
pre-determined group of products at a flat-rate price, with a simplified order
entry screen. Revenues generated increased from approximately $22,000 in first
three month period ended March 31, 2000 to approximately $279,000 in the same
period in 2001, or approximately 1168%.

Avert
implemented a new entity and chart of accounts structure in January, 2001. As a
result, there have been re-classifications for simpler reporting. The breakdown
of net revenues, exclusive of miscellaneous income items, is as follows:

Revenues
generated from driving records increased approximately 23.5% from $476,000 in
first three month period ended March 31, 2000 to $588,000 in the same period in
2001. Driving records continue to be an important background check for
employers, and one that has quick turn-around for fast hiring decisions.

Workers
compensation histories revenues continued to decline as a percentage of net
revenues as previously predicted. In first quarter, 2000 workers
compensation reports, represented, $208,000 or approximately 5.5% of total net
revenues, as compared to $161,000 in the first three months of 2001, or
approximately 3.4% of total net revenues.

Interest
income increased approximately 36.0%, generating approximately $92,000 in first
quarter 2000 and $126,000 in first quarter 2001. The increase is primarily a
result of a $1,000,000 loan made in July 2000 to a firm called eScreen. This
loan was made in the form of a one-year, convertible promissory note at an
interest rate of 10%, with all principal and interest due at maturity in July
2001. EScreen is a start-up company that has a cutting edge drug-screening
product that Avert wishes to pursue as a potential addition to its product line
and/or a business relationship with eScreen. The loan is collateralized by both
company assets and a personal guaranty of its founder. Even though eScreen is a
start-up company with losses from operations, and is currently seeking capital,
management believes eScreens business plan is achievable, and that the
$1,000,000 loan will be paid when due. The amount of interest recorded in
1st quarter 2000 for this loan was approximately $25,000.

Total
expenses, when expressed as a percentage of total net revenues, decreased from
approximately 76.0% in the first quarter 2000, representing $2,845,000, to
approximately 75.7% in the first quarter 2001 representing $3,628,000. A
breakdown in expenses is as follows:

Search
and product fees increased slightly from approximately 45.4% of total net
revenues in first quarter 2000 to approximately 46.0% of total net revenues in
first quarter 2001. The Company was able to produce approximately 31.8% more
actual reports in the three month period in 2001 as compared to the three month
period in 2000. Product costs were reduced for the largest product line 
criminal history searches  from approximately 18.8% of total net revenues
in 2000 to approximately 17.0% of total net revenues in 2001. The majority of
the decrease was attributable to the improved automation of the Companys
acquisition of data supplied to its customers, specifically decreasing costs of
obtaining criminal history information from sources. The largest area of
increase in search and product fees was a result of the increased usage in
package orders, which tend to be more competitively priced for larger customers.
Package costs increased from approximately 0.8% of total net revenues in first
quarter 2000 to approximately 2.3% of total net revenues in first quarter 2001.

There
was an approximate 0.8% increase as a percentage of total net revenues in
marketing expenses, in the first three months of 2001, representing
approximately 12.3% of total net revenues, as compared to the same period of
2000, representing approximately 11.5% of total net revenues. The Company
maintained consistent expenditures in certain lead generation activities such as
trade shows and yellow pages advertising as well as continuing its transition to
web-based lead generation programs. In regards to personnel, there was an
addition of a Director of Marketing and Channel Partner Development, and
movement of national account support personnel from customer service to
marketing area. Lastly, as more revenues are generated through the ADP
partnership, there will be an increased marketing expense in the way of revenue
pass-through payment to distribution partnerships, as well as any other
distribution partnerships that may be developed and implemented.

General
and Administrative expenses decreased approximately 1.6% of total net revenues
in first three-month period ended March 31, 2001, representing approximately
9.2% of total net revenues, as compared to the first three-month period ended
March 31, 2000 representing 10.8% of total net revenues.

There
was a slight increase in software development and maintenance expenses expressed
as a percentage of total net revenues from approximately 3.9% in first quarter
2000 to approximately 4.1% in the comparable period of 2001. The Company
continues to focus on making technology its strategic advantage in its
relationships with customers, partners and suppliers.

There
was a decrease in depreciation and amortization expenses when expressed as a
percentage of total net revenues, from approximately 4.4% in the first three
months of 2000, to approximately 4.1% in the comparable period of 2001.

Income
before income taxes increased from $900,000 in first quarter 2000 to $1,162,000
in first quarter 2001, or approximately 29.1%, and represented approximately
24.0% in 2000, as compared to approximately 24.3% in the comparable period of
2001.

The
combined federal and state income tax rates for 1st quarter 2001 and
2000 was 39.9% and 37.1% respectively, resulting in net income of approximately
$698,000 (weighted average shares) was $.21 per share on 3,263,127 shares in
2001 and $.17 per share on 3,285,919 shares in 2000. Diluted earnings per share
were $.20 per share on 3,547,412 (weighted average shares plus common stock
equivalents) in 2001 and $566,000 ($.17 per share on 3,285,990 shares (weighted
average shares plus common stock equivalents) in 2000.
