FIDELITY NATIONAL INFORMATION SOLUTIONS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note A Basis of Financial Statements
The financial information included in this report includes the accounts of Fidelity National Information Solutions, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the Company or FNIS) and has been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. All adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. This report should be read in conjunction with the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001.
Certain reclassifications have been made in the 2001 Consolidated Financial Statements to conform to classifications used in 2002.
Note B Acquisitions and Dispositions
On March 20, 2000, Fidelity National Financial, Inc. (Fidelity) consummated a merger with Chicago Title Corporation, as a result of which Fidelity acquired Chicago Title and Trust Company (Chicago Title). Subsequent to the merger, Fidelity combined its flood services (Fidelity Flood) and credit services (Fidelity Credit) with the flood services (Chicago Flood) and credit services (Chicago Credit) of Chicago Title. The merged flood services business (Fidelity National Flood, Inc. or Flood) and the merged credit services business (Fidelity National Credit Services, Inc. or Credit) became wholly owned subsidiaries of Chicago Title. Fidelity also acquired Market Intelligence, Inc. (MI, together with Chicago Flood and Chicago Credit, the Chicago Companies). The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase, and, accordingly, the purchase price of $43.5 million was allocated to the tangible assets acquired, cost in excess of net assets acquired and liabilities assumed, at fair value, in the amounts of $26.9 million, $26.1 million, and $9.5 million, respectively.
Fidelity acquired 100% of the outstanding stock of IDM on January 3, 2001. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase and, accordingly, the purchase price of $20.8 million was allocated to assets acquired, cost in excess of net assets acquired and liabilities assumed, at fair values, in the amounts of $1.9 million, $19.3 million, and $0.4 million, respectively.
On August 1, 2001, the Company, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization and Merger dated April 12, 2001, acquired IDM from Fidelity and MI, Credit, and Flood (collectively, the Chicago Subsidiaries) from Chicago Title , by merging the four subsidiaries with and into four previously-formed merger subsidiaries of the Company in simultaneous reverse triangular mergers (collectively, the Mergers). Concurrent with the Mergers, Fidelity transferred eighty percent (80%) of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Fidelity National Tax Service, Inc. (Tax and together with IDM, the Fidelity Subsidiaries) to the Company (the Share Exchange). As a result of the Mergers and the Share Exchange, MI, Credit, Flood and IDM became wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company, and Tax became a majority-owned subsidiary of the Company.
In consideration for the Mergers and the Share Exchange, the Company transferred to Chicago Title and Fidelity 11,703,801 shares and 5,507,671 shares of the Companys common stock, respectively. Collectively, these shares of common stock then constituted approximately 77% of the outstanding capital stock of the Company. This transaction was a reverse merger, following which the Company became a majority-owned subsidiary of Fidelity. The Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company as of and for the six-month period ended June 30, 2001 reflect only the balance sheet, operations and cash flows of the Fidelity Subsidiaries and the Chicago Subsidiaries and reflect the Fidelity Subsidiaries and the Chicago Subsidiaries as the acquiror for accounting purposes.
The total purchase price of $34.8 million was allocated to the tangible assets acquired, cost in excess of net assets acquired, and liabilities assumed, at fair value, in the amounts of $43.3 million, $31.9 million, and $40.4 million, respectively. The allocation of the purchase price is preliminary. However, the Company does not believe the difference between the recorded book value and
7
the fair value ultimately assigned will be material.
The following selected unaudited pro forma results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2001 has been prepared to illustrate the effects of the purchase of the Company by the Fidelity Subsidiaries and Chicago Subsidiaries as the accounting acquiror, as if this transaction had been completed January 1, 2001. The information provided for the Fidelity Subsidiaries and Chicago Subsidiaries has been derived from the Fidelity Subsidiaries historical financial statements. The information provided for the Company has been derived from the historical financial statements of the Company.

On August 2, 2001, the Company acquired 100 percent of the outstanding common shares of Risco, Inc. (Risco). The results of Riscos operations have been included in the Consolidated Financial Statements since that date. Risco was the third largest multiple listing service vendor in the United States. In connection with this acquisition, the Company issued 1,614,286 of its common stock at $7.34 per share. The total purchase price was $11.9 million and the Company recorded cost in excess of net assets acquired of $3.4 million.
On August 2, 2001, the Company purchased the assets and liabilities of Reez.com (Reez). The results of Reezs operations have been included in the Consolidated Financial Statements since that date. Reezs software provides the realtor, consumer and settlement service provider with an on-line platform to schedule, track and close real estate transactions. As a result of this acquisition, the Company issued 135,971 of its common stock at $7.34 per share. The total purchase price was $1.0 million and the cost in excess of net assets acquired in connection with the acquisition was immaterial.
On October 10, 2001, the Company purchased the 40,000 shares in Tax representing the residual 20% minority interest for $5.4 million in cash that resulted in cost in excess of net assets acquired of $4.5 million. The purchase price was in accordance with the terms of the original purchase agreement.
On December 3, 2001, the Company purchased all the assets of HomeSeekers XMLSweb division in exchange for $2.0 million in cash. As a result of this acquisition, the Company recorded cost in excess of net assets acquired of $1.0 million.
On January 2, 2002, the Company acquired ISDI.NET, LLC (ISDI), a technology, systems integration and consulting firm, in exchange for 275,000 shares of the Companys Common Stock and $1.1 million in cash. Prior to the acquisition, the Company advanced to ISDI $1.1 million, which was included in Other Assets as of December 31, 2001. As a result of this acquisition, the Company recorded cost in excess of net assets acquired of $1.3 million.
On March 25, 2002, the Company sold its Environmental Risk Management Solutions business for $15.5 million in cash, resulting in a gain of $0.3 million. Proceeds from the sale were used to pay down the $12.6 million balance then outstanding under our revolving credit agreement with Fidelity. The remaining proceeds of $2.9 million were added to general working capital.
On May 28, 2002 the Company acquired a 55% interest in Hansen Quality Loan Services, LLC, a provider of collateral risk assessment and valuation services, for $4.125 million in cash and a convertible note. The note is in the amount of $4.125 million, bears interest at 4.5%, matures in May 2005, and is convertible into shares of the Companys stock at $28.00 per share. The total purchase price was $8.25 million and the Company recorded cost in excess of net assets acquired of $7.5 million.

Note C Recent Developments
On July 1, 2002 the Company acquired Comstock Net Services, Inc., a technology provider to real estate professionals, in exchange for $1.75 million in cash and 213,323 shares of the Companys stock.
On July 9, 2002 the Company completed its previously announced tender for all of the outstanding shares of Micro General Corporation, (MGEN) whereby each share of MGEN common stock was exchanged for shares of FNIS common stock. Concurrently with the closing of the tender offer FNIS and MGEN consummated a short-form merger and MGEN became a wholly-owned subsidiary of FNIS.
The tender offer and merger were based on a fixed exchange ratio of .696 shares of FNIS common stock for each share of MGEN common stock. As a result, the Company issued 12,895,721 new shares of its common stock to acquire MGEN. Prior to the merger, Fidelity held a controlling interest in both MGEN and FNIS. The non-controlling equity interest of MGEN (48.4%) will be accounted for under the purchase method of accounting in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 141, Business Combinations (SFAS 141). Under the purchase method of accounting, assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at their fair values. Goodwill is created to the extent that the offer and merger consideration including certain acquisition and closing costs exceeds the fair value of the net assets acquired.
The acquisition of the equity interest controlled by Fidelity (51.6%) is not considered a business combination because FNIS and MGEN were under common control by Fidelity. Therefore in accordance with SFAS 141, FNIS will recognize the assets and liabilities transferred at the historical carrying value, or book value, of MGEN in a manner similar to a pooling-of-interests, and not at fair value.
The following selected unaudited pro forma results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 has been prepared to illustrate the effects of the acquisition of MGEN by the Company as if this transaction had been completed January 1, 2001.

The pro forma results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, include compensation charges associated with unvested stock options of $1.0 million, net of income tax.
Also, subsequent to the merger of MGEN into FNIS, Fidelity exercised its option to convert a $5.3 million convertible note from MGEN into 403,120 shares of FNIS common stock.
As a result of the above three transactions, Fidelitys ownership of the outstanding stock of FNIS decreased from approximately 77% as of June 30, 2002 to approximately 68% as of July 31, 2002.
On July 23, 2002 the Company entered into a merger agreement to acquire Factual Data Corp., (FDCC) a provider of customized information to businesses, primarily in the mortgage and consumer lending industries.
Under the terms of the merger agreement, FDCC will become a wholly owned subsidiary of FNIS and the stockholders of FDCC will receive the equivalent of $13.75 per FDCC common share for a total consideration of $84.2 million. Each share of FDCC common stock will be exchanged for a maximum of $10.31 in FNIS common stock and a minimum of $3.44 in cash. At its option, FNIS can elect to increase the cash consideration up to 100% of the purchase price.
9
Closing of the transaction is subject to several conditions, including the completion of due diligence by both parties, FDCC stockholder approval, certain third party consents and other customary closing conditions. FNIS retains the right to terminate the merger agreement if its average stock price is below $25 during a determination period immediately preceding the closing of the transaction. Principal stockholders that beneficially own in the aggregate more than 50 percent of the outstanding FDCC shares have entered into agreements to vote in favor of the merger. The parties expect the transaction to close in the fourth quarter of 2002.
Note D Adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Intangible Assets
SFAS No. 142 requires that an intangible asset that is acquired shall be initially recognized and measured based on its fair value. The statement also provides that goodwill should not be amortized, but shall be tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if circumstances indicate potential impairment, through a comparison of fair value to its carrying amount.
The Company has performed a transitional goodwill impairment test on its reporting units and has determined that each of its reporting units has a fair value in excess of its carrying value. Accordingly, no goodwill impairment has been recorded.
Beginning on January 1, 2002, the Company ceased recording goodwill amortization in accordance with SFAS No. 142. The following table reconciles reported and adjusted net earnings and net earnings per share:

Note E Secured, Revolving Credit Facility and Convertible Note Payable
On September 24, 2001, the Company entered into a revolving credit agreement with Fidelity. The credit agreement provides for a maximum credit line of $25 million that expires and is due in September 2006. The credit facility bears interest at a rate of prime plus 2%. As of June 30, 2002, there were no amounts outstanding under the agreement.
In connection with the purchase of a 55% interest in Hansen Quality Loan Services, LLC on May 28, 2002, the Company issued a convertible note in the amount of $4.125 million. The Note bears interest at 4.5%, matures in May 2005 and is convertible at any time into shares of the Companys common stock at $28.00 per share.

Note F Earnings Per Share
The Company presents basic earnings per share, representing net earnings divided by the weighted average shares outstanding (excluding all common stock equivalents), and diluted earnings per share, representing the dilutive effect of all common stock equivalents. The following table illustrates the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those used in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Since the Companys last annual report for the year ended December 31, 2001, the format of the Condensed Consolidated Income Statements has changed to show the revenue and cost of revenue for each segment. The cost of revenue consists primarily of direct costs associated with the sales of products and services and does not include various overhead and indirect costs included in operating expenses. Major direct costs include subcontracted appraisal fees, purchased real estate data, direct printing costs, royalty and license fees, reseller commissions and variable sales compensation.
Sales between segments or transfers that occurred in the ordinary course of operations have been eliminated from the segment information provided.
Note H Stockholders Equity
Stock Repurchase Program
On September 28, 2001, the Companys Board of Directors authorized the Company to purchase up to 1,000,000 shares of its common stock. Purchases may be made from time to time by the Company in the open market, in block purchases or in privately negotiated transactions. During October 2001, the Company repurchased a total of 53,800 shares of common stock for $0.3 million at an average price of $6.30. No other repurchases have been made as of June 30, 2002.
Note I Legal Proceedings
As discussed elsewhere in this report, on July 9, 2002, the Company acquired Micro General Corporation (NASDAQ:MGEN), through a tender offer and subsequent short-form merger. Prior to the acquisition, both the Company and MGEN were majority-owned public subsidiaries of Fidelity National Financial, Inc. (NYSE:FNFI) (Fidelity). Beginning on April 30, 2002 and continuing thereafter, a total of three separate lawsuits were filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery on behalf of a purported class of public stockholders of MGEN relating to the Companys announcement that it was commencing the tender offer. The Delaware actions are captioned David Osher v. Foley, II, et al., C.A. No. 19593-NC; Helen Lapinski v. Foley, II, et al., C.A. No. 19594-NC; and John Calabria v. Inman, et al., C.A. No. 19595-NC. The actions generally name as defendants MGEN, Fidelity, the Company and the members of the MGEN Board of Directors (some of whom are also directors and officers of the Company), and generally allege that the consideration the Company offered to MGENs public stockholders in the tender offer was inadequate and unfair and that the Company and the individual defendants breached their fiduciary duties to MGENs public stockholders in formulating and making the offer. The actions sought to proceed on behalf of a class of MGEN stockholders other than the defendants, sought preliminary and permanent injunctive relief against the consummation of the offer, sought monetary damages in an unspecified amount and sought recovery of plaintiffs costs and attorneys fees. No motion for an injunction was ever filed, and the acquisition was consummated on July 9, 2002. Thus, while the claims remain outstanding, only monetary damages and recovery of costs and attorneys fees remain available as remedies. These actions otherwise remain in their earliest stages. The Company believes that the allegations are without merit and intends to defend against them vigorously.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that are not purely historical are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including statements regarding our expectations, hopes, intentions or strategies regarding the future. All forward-looking statements included in this document are based on information available to us on the date hereof, and we assume no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements. It is important to note that our actual results could vary materially from those forward-looking statements contained herein due to many factors, including, but not limited to: general economic and business conditions, including interest rate fluctuations and general volatility in the capital markets; changes in the performance of the real estate markets; the impact of competitive products and pricing; success of operating initiatives; adverse publicity; the ability to identify businesses to be acquired; availability of qualified personnel; employee benefits costs and changes in, or the failure to comply with government regulations and other risks detailed in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Factors Affecting Comparability.
As explained earlier in this document, on August 1, 2001, we merged with the Fidelity Subsidiaries and the Chicago Subsidiaries. The merger was a reverse merger and we became a majority-owned subsidiary of Fidelity. Our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations therefore include the operations of FNIS since August 1, 2001, and the operations of the Fidelity Subsidiaries and Chicago Subsidiaries prior to that date. For the period ended June 30, 2002 operations also include Reez and Risco that were acquired on August 2, 2001, the MLS assets of Homeseekers acquired on December 3, 2001, the operations of ISDI, acquired on January 3, 2002, and a 55% interest in the operations of Hansen, acquired on May 28, 2002. As a result period-to-period comparisons may not be meaningful.
The following table illustrates the period of time each entity is reflected in our operations as a result of the mergers and acquisitions:

Results of Operations
Net earnings for the second quarter of 2002 were $5.5 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, as compared with net earnings of $0.9 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2001. Net earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2002 were $10.2 million, or $0.39 per diluted share, as compared with net earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2001 of $2.7 million, or $0.15 per diluted share.
The following table presents the calculation of net earnings before amortization of cost in excess of net assets acquired consistent with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS No. 142).

Total revenue increased 72.5% to $62.6 million in the second quarter of 2002 as compared with the second quarter of 2001 and has increased 82.0% to $125.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2002, compared with the corresponding period of the prior year. Growth in revenue from 2001 to 2002 is primarily a result of mergers and acquisitions, and low mortgage interest rates and a high number of real estate and loan refinancing transactions.
Included in revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 are revenues from the acquisition of Hansen and ISDI of $2.1 million and $2.4 million, respectively.
Our business is closely related to the level of real estate activity on both a national and local basis. Real estate sales transactions are directly affected by changes in the cost of financing purchases of real estate, i.e., mortgage interest rates. Other macroeconomic factors affecting real estate activity include, but are not limited to, demand for housing, employment levels, family income levels and general economic conditions.
Beginning in December 2000 and continuing through the first quarter of 2002, interest rates have been reduced by 475 basis points, bringing interest rates down to their lowest level in recent history. This has significantly increased the volume of refinancing activity and other mortgage activity.
Interest rate changes have a significant impact on our valuation and appraisal services, flood services and credit services business lines, which have historically been closely aligned with the home equity credit market. As well, fluctuations in our tax services revenues usually result from changes in mortgage interest rates. Revenues increase during periods of relatively low interest rates due to higher refinance volumes and decline during periods of relatively high interest rates. MLS revenues are primarily connected with term contracts and are therefore not significantly affected by interest rate changes.

(Note 1 Represents cost of data, solutions, and services revenue as a percentage of their respective revenue, i.e. cost of data revenue divided by data revenue. Operating expenses and total costs and expenses are calculated as a percentage of total revenue.)
Total costs and expenses as a percentage of revenue decreased in the quarter ended June 30, 2002 to 84.6% from 94.3% in the corresponding quarter of 2001. Total costs as a percentage of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2002 decreased to 86.3% from 90.2% in the prior year. These decreases are primarily a result of personnel and other operating cost reductions from synergies realized in the mergers and acquisitions and, an improvement in the expense to revenue ratio at the operating unit level, partially offset by an increase in corporate administration costs since the business combination in August 2001 (prior to that date, the entities acquired from Fidelity were not engaged in the same activities as a publicly held stand-alone company and therefore did not have comparable costs).
The cost of revenue consists primarily of direct costs associated with the sales of products and services. Major direct costs include subcontracted appraisal fees, purchased real estate data, direct printing costs, royalty and license fees, reseller commissions and variable sales compensation. The percentage decrease in the cost of revenue for the data segment represented in the above table for 2002 compared with 2001 is due primarily to improvement in the operating efficiencies of the Credit Services company in the current quarter as compared with the same quarter in the prior year. The percentage increase of the costs of revenue for the solutions and services segments, is due primarily to a change in the mix of business resulting from the acquisitions and mergers.
Our operating expenses consist of personnel costs, facility costs, and other general and administrative expenses. Personnel costs include base salaries, commissions and bonuses paid to employees, and are one of our most significant operating expenses. Although a significant portion of these costs is fixed, certain of the costs fluctuate with the mix and level of revenue. We have taken significant measures to maintain appropriate personnel levels and costs relative to the volume and mix of business while maintaining customer service standards and quality controls. We continue to monitor prevailing market conditions and will adjust personnel costs in accordance with activity.
The decrease in operating expenses as a percentage of total revenue in the three and six-month periods ending June 30, 2002 compared with the same periods in the prior year is due primarily to an improvement in the expense to revenue ratio at the operating unit level, partially offset by an increase in corporate administration costs since the business combination as described above.
Interest expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 was $0.1 million and primarily represents interest expense related to capital leases. Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2002 of $0.3 million includes approximately $0.2 million incurred in connection with the revolving credit facility with Fidelity. There was no interest expense for the three or six months ended June 30, 2001.
Other income of $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 represents the gain on sale of the Environmental Risk Management Solutions operation. The operation was sold on March 25, 2002 for $15.5 million in cash. See Note B to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
There was no amortization of cost in excess of net assets acquired in the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 as a result of adopting SFAS No. 142. Amortization of cost in excess of net assets acquired was $0.8 million and $1.5 million for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2001 respectively. See Note D of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
15
Income taxes, as a percentage of earnings before income taxes, were 40.0% and 49.5% for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The change in income taxes as a percentage of earnings before income taxes from 2001 is primarily attributable to the elimination of amortization of cost in excess of net assets acquired consistent with SFAS No. 142.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash Flows. Our cash requirements include personnel and other operating expenses, taxes, capital expenditures, systems development, and debt service. The nature of our business is not capital intensive, and we believe that all anticipated cash requirements for current operations will be met from internally generated funds and borrowings through existing credit facilities. Our short and long-term liquidity requirements are monitored regularly to match cash inflows with cash requirements. We forecast the daily needs of our business units and periodically review their short- and long-term projected sources and uses of funds, as well as the asset, liability, investment and cash flow assumptions underlying these projections.
Seasonality. The business cycle of the residential real property valuation services, flood services and credit services business lines have historically been closely aligned with the home equity credit market. Volumes generally increase in the early spring, followed by a slower summer season, a relatively busy fall and a significantly slower winter. Significant changes in interest rates may alter these traditional seasonal patterns due to the effect the cost of financing has on real estate transactions.
Financing. Following the business combination with Fidelity in August 2001, we entered into a secured revolving credit agreement with Fidelity. The credit agreement provides for a maximum credit line of $25 million that expires and is due in September 2006 and bears interest at a variable rate of prime plus 2%. Amounts borrowed under the credit agreement were used to repay Fidelity, who retired the companys debt existing at the time of the business combination. In the first quarter of 2002, the Companys outstanding balance was fully repaid with proceeds from the sale of its Environmental Risk Management Solutions operation. At June 30, 2002, the full amount of the credit line was available.
Financing Obligations. Our financing obligations generally include our credit agreement with Fidelity and operating and capital lease payments on certain of our premises and equipment. On May 28, 2002 we issued a convertible note payable to Hansen Quality Loan Services in connection with our purchase of a 55% interest in Hansen. The note is in the amount of $4.125 million, bears interest at 4.5%, matures in May 2005, and is convertible into shares of the Companys common stock at $28.00 per share.
Other Commercial Commitments. In October 2001 we entered into a strategic alliance agreement with Lexis-Nexis to acquire a 50% ownership interest in their national real estate database. The terms of the agreement require us to make annual payments over the next four years to complete the transaction. These payments may be accelerated at our option.
Under the terms of our agreement with Homeseekers, we are obligated to pay $1.2 million to Homeseekers upon completion of certain enhancements to a software platform acquired from them. A progress payment of $0.5 million was paid to Homeseekers during the current quarter.
Critical Accounting Policies. There have been no material changes in our critical accounting policies described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001.
Effects of Transaction With Related Parties. Included in the accompanying financial statements are payments to two related parties, Fidelity and Micro General Corporation, a majority owned subsidiary of Fidelity. The amounts paid to Fidelity were for executive and general management, accounting, legal and administrative services provided to us under an agreement effective August 1, 2001. Base annual fees under the agreement with Fidelity are currently $1.3 million. The amounts paid to Micro General were for information technology and business communication services provided to us under an agreement effective August 2, 2001. The agreements with Fidelity and Micro General are for one and three-year terms respectively. Fees for the services provided in the agreements are based on estimated time incurred to perform each of the functions and the estimated personnel costs for the function performed, plus in the case of Micro General, a profit margin. Amounts paid to Fidelity under the agreement for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 were $0.4 million and $0.7 million, respectively. Amounts paid to Micro General under the agreement for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 were $2.3 million and $5.0 million, respectively.
As explained in Note C above, we completed the acquisition of Micro General Corporation on July 9, 2002.
Included in our Revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 are $2.1 million and $3.1 respectively, for sales
16
of data and other products and services to Fidelity.
As of June 30, 2002 the net amount receivable from Fidelity was $1.2 million and the amount owed to Micro General was $0.6 million.
Capital Stock Transactions.
On September 28, 2001, our Board of Directors authorized us to repurchase up to 1,000,000 shares of our common stock. Purchases may be made by us from time to time in the open market or in block purchases or in privately negotiated transactions depending on market conditions and other factors. During October 2001, we repurchased a total of 53,800 shares of our common stock for $0.3 million, at an average purchase price of $6.30 per share. No other repurchases have been made as of June 30, 2002.
On January 2, 2002, the Company acquired ISDI.NET, LLC (ISDI), a technology, systems integration and consulting firm, in exchange for 275,000 shares of the Companys Common Stock and $1.1 million in cash. See Note B.
Subsequent to the quarter end, we issued 12,895,721 shares of our common stock in connection with the completion of the acquisition of MGEN. See Note C.
Also, subsequent to the merger of MGEN into FNIS, Fidelity exercised its option to convert a note held by MGEN into 403,120 shares of FNIS common stock.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements. In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, Business Combinations (SFAS No. 141) and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS No. 142). SFAS No. 141 requires that all business combinations be accounted for under the purchase method. The statement further requires separate recognition of intangible assets that meet one of two criteria. The statement applies to all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001.
SFAS No. 142 requires that an intangible asset that is acquired shall be initially recognized and measured based on its fair value. The statement also provides that goodwill should not be amortized, but shall be tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if circumstances indicate potential impairment, through a comparison of fair value to its carrying amount. Existing goodwill will be amortized through 2001, after which time amortization will cease and we will perform a transitional goodwill impairment test. SFAS No. 142 is generally effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2001 and the amortization provisions of SFAS No. 142 are effective for acquisitions subsequent to June 30, 2001. We have performed a transitional goodwill impairment test on our reporting units and have determined that each of our reporting units has a fair value in excess of our carrying value, therefore no goodwill impairment has been recorded.
In October 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets (SFAS No. 144) which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. While SFAS No. 144 supersedes Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of, it retains many of the fundamental provisions of that statement. SFAS No. 144 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The adoption of SFAS No. 144 did not have a material impact on our financial statements or results of operations.
In June 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities, (SFAS No. 146). This standard is effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material effect on the Companys financial position or results of operations.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk
There have been no material changes in the market risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10K for the year ended December 31, 2001.
Part II: OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
As discussed elsewhere in this report, on July 9, 2002, the Company acquired Micro General Corporation (NASDAQ:MGEN), through a tender offer and subsequent short-form merger. Prior to the acquisition, both the Company and MGEN were majority-owned public subsidiaries of Fidelity National Financial, Inc. (NYSE:FNFI)("Fidelity"). Beginning on April 30, 2002 and continuing thereafter, a total of three separate lawsuits were filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery on behalf of a purported class of public stockholders of MGEN relating to the Company's announcement that it was commencing the tender offer. The Delaware actions are captioned David Osher v. Foley, II, et al., C.A. No. 19593-NC; Helen Lapinski v. Foley, II, et al., C.A. No. 19594-NC; and John Calabria v. Inman, et al., C.A. No. 19595-NC. The actions generally name as defendants MGEN, Fidelity, the Company and the members of the MGEN Board of Directors (some of whom are also directors and officers of the Company), and generally allege that the consideration the Company offered to MGEN's public stockholders in the tender offer was inadequate and unfair and that the Company and the individual defendants breached their fiduciary duties to MGEN's public stockholders in formulating and making the offer. The actions sought to proceed on behalf of a class of MGEN stockholders other than the defendants, sought preliminary and permanent injunctive relief against the consummation of the offer, sought monetary damages in an unspecified amount and sought recovery of plaintiffs' costs and attorneys' fees. No motion for an injunction was ever filed, and the acquisition was consummated on July 9, 2002. Thus, while the claims remain outstanding, only monetary damages and recovery of costs and attorneys' fees remain available as remedies. These actions otherwise remain in their earliest stages. The Company believes that the allegations are without merit and intends to defend against them vigorously.

Item 2. Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds.
(a) Changes in Securities.
In August 1997, the Companys Board of Directors authorized the issuance of 2,500 shares of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the Series F Preferred). The salient terms of the Series F Preferred include:
| the right of Series F Preferred holders to receive quarterly dividends of $30.00 per share which would be increased by $5.00 per share for each year after August 31, 2002; | ||
| that the Series F Preferred may be redeemed, at the Companys option, at any time, provided the average closing bid price of the Companys common stock for the 20 consecutive trading days preceding the date of the redemption notice exceeds 200% of the Series F Preferred conversion price; | ||
| the liquidation preference of $1,000 per share, plus unpaid dividends; and | ||
| the right of Series F Convertible Preferred holders to vote on an as-if converted basis with the holders of common stock in the election of our directors. |
At the Annual Meeting of Company stockholders on July 8, 2002, the Companys stockholders approved a proposal to remove the Series F Preferred as an authorized class of the Companys capital stock. The Companys Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, effecting the removal of the Series F Preferred, was filed with the Delaware Secretary of State on July 11, 2002. No shares of Series F Preferred were outstanding at the time of the stockholder vote or the filing of the amended charter. Management does not believe that the rights of the Companys common stockholders will be impacted in any way by the charter amendment.
(b) Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
On May 28, 2002, the Company acquired a 55% interest in Hansen Quality Loan Services, LLC, a provider of collateral risk assessment and valuation services, for cash and a convertible note. The note was issued to Hansen Quality Loan Services, a California corporation, in the original principal amount of $4.125 million, bears interest at 4.5%, matures in May 2005, and is convertible at any time into shares of the Companys common stock at $28.00 per share. In issuing the convertible note, the Company relied upon the exemption from registration provided by Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the representation by the holder of the convertible note that it was an accredited investor within the meaning of Regulation D. The convertible note also provides that only restricted securities may be issued upon conversion.
