First Advantage completed threeseven acquisitions during the first quarter ofsix months ended June 30, 2006. The Company’s operating results for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2006 and 2005 include results for the acquired entities from their respective dates of acquisition.

Operating results for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2006 and 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year.

Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2005 consolidated financial statements to conform with classifications used as of and for the period ended March 31,June 30, 2006.

As of March 31,June 30, 2006, the Company’s significant accounting polices and estimates, which are detailed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005, have not changed from December 31, 2005, except for the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123R (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment”.

Share-Based Compensation

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123R (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment,” which is a revision of SFAS No. 123 “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” and supersedes Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25 “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” and its related implementation guidance. The Statement focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment

transactions. SFAS No. 123R requires a public entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award (with limited exceptions). The cost is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award. The Company adopted SFAS No. 123R using the modified prospective method. Under this method, results of prior periods are not restated. Share-based compensation expense for the first quarter ofthree and six months ended June 30, 2006 was $2.9$3.1 million ($2.22.3 million after tax or $0.04 per basic and diluted share). and $6.0 million ($4.4 million after tax or $0.08 per basic and diluted share), respectively.

Commencing with the first quarter of fiscal 2006, the Company began transitioning from the Black-Scholes options model to a lattice model to estimate the fair value of new employee stock options on the date of grant. The Company believes the lattice option pricing model provides a more refined estimate of the fair value of our employee stock options. The fair value of each option grant was estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model for all grants prior to January 1, 2006. For option grants in January 2006 and thereafter, the fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of the grant using the lattice option pricing model. Because theThe lattice option pricing model incorporates ranges of assumptions for inputs, those ranges are disclosed in the following table.following.

(3)The expected life is the period of time, on average, that participants are expected to hold their options before exercise based primarily on the Company’s historical data.

As share-based compensation expense recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Income for the first quarter of fiscalthree and six months ended June 30, 2006 is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, it has been reduced for estimated forfeitures. SFAS No. 123R requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Forfeitures were estimated based primarily on historical experience. In our pro forma information required under SFAS No. 123 for the periods prior to fiscal 2006, the Company accounted for forfeitures as they occurred.

As of March 31,June 30, 2006, $17.4$14.8 million of total unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested awards is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.51.7 years. There waswere no share-based compensation costs capitalized as of March 31,June 30, 2006.

The Company did not recognize compensation expense for employee share-based awards for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2005. The exercise price of the Company’s employee stock awards equaled the market price of the underlying stock on the date of the grant per APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations. Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company followed SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation,” as amended by SFAS No. 148No.148 “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure,” through disclosure only. The Company accounted for share-based compensation using the intrinsic value method prescribed in APB Opinion No. 25, and related interpretations. The fair value for each option grant was estimated under SFAS No. 123 using the Black-Scholes pricing model. If the Company had elected or was required to apply the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation,” to share-based employee compensation, net income and net income per share would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated in the following table for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2005.

7.Share-Based Compensation

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

In August 2003, the Company’s board of directors approved the First Advantage Corporation 2003 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Stock Purchase Plan”). The Stock Purchase Plan, which is intended to qualify under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code, allows eligible employees to purchase First Advantage Class A common stock through payroll deductions for 85% of the fair market value of the First Advantage Class A common stock. Participation in the plan is voluntary. Eligible employees may participate by authorizing payroll deductions of up to 15% of their base pay for each payroll period. At the end of each one-month offering period, each participant will receive an amount of First Advantage Class A common stock equal to the sum of that participant’s payroll deductions during such period divided by 85% of the fair market value of the common stock at the end of the period. No employee may participate in the plan if such employee owns or would own after the purchase of shares under the plan, 5% or more of the voting power of all classes of First Advantage stock. Shares of First Advantage Class A common stock issued under the Stock Purchase Plan must be held for a period of one year. A total of 1.0 million shares of First Advantage Class A common stock are reserved for issuance under the plan. A total of 20,40334,762 and 29,446 shares have been issued in connection with the plan for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2006 and the year ended December 31, 2005, respectively.

Incentive Compensation Plan

The Company’s board of directors and stockholders have adopted the 2003 First Advantage Incentive Compensation Plan. The plan is intended to promote the long-term success of the Company and increase stockholder value by attracting, motivating, and retaining key employees of the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates, and by motivating consultants who provide significant services to the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates. To achieve this purpose, the plan allows the granting of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, performance unit awards, performance share awards and cash-based awards to eligible persons.

Subject to adjustment for certain changes in the Company’s capitalization, a total of 7.0 million shares of First Advantage Class A common stock are available for issuance under the plan. The plan is administered by the 401(k) committee, which is a sub committee of the compensation committee of the board of directors of the Company.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

First Advantage Corporation (Nasdaq: FADV) (“First Advantage” or the “Company”) is a global risk mitigation and business solutions provider. The Company operates in six primary business segments: Lender Services, Data Services, Dealer Services, Employer Services, Multifamily Services, and Investigative & Litigation Support Services. First Advantage is headquartered in St. Petersburg, Florida, and has approximately 4,1004,200 employees in offices throughout the United States and abroad. For the three months ended March 31,During 2006, First Advantage has acquired threeseven companies, which are all included in the Employer Services segment. During the first half of 2005, the Company acquired three companies in the Employer Services segment, one company in the Investigative and Litigation Support Services segment, one company in the Lender Services segment and one company in the Dealer Services segment.

Operating results for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2006 included total revenue of $194.3$205.1 million representingand $399.5 million, respectively. This represents an increase of 39%25.5% and 31.5% over the same periodperiods in 2005, with 6.2% of thatrespectively. The organic growth being organic growth.rate was 3.2% and 4.9% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively. Net income for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2006 was $12.7 million.$16.6 million and $29.4 million, respectively. Net income decreased $1.3increased $4.4 million for the three months ended March 31,and $3.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 in comparison to the same periodperiods in 2005. Net income for the quarterthree and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2006 includes the impact of adopting SFAS No. 123R “Share Based“Share-Based Payment,” which reduced net income by $2.2$2.3 million and $4.4 or $0.04 and $0.08 per diluted share.share, respectively.

The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, included $3.7 million of nondeductible merger costs incurred in connection with the acquisition of the Credit Information Group from First American, $2.0 million of costs incurred in connection with the relocation of the company’s corporate headquarters and other office consolidations, and $290,000 of costs related to the launch of the corporate branding initiative in June 2005. The total after-tax impact of these costs on results of operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2005, was to reduce net income by $5.1 million and reduce primary and diluted earnings per share by 10 cents.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Critical accounting policies are those policies used in the preparation of the company’s financial statements that require management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of certain assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosure of contingencies. A summary of these policies can be found in Management’s Discussion and Analysis in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for year ended December 31, 2005.

Share-Based Compensation

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company accounts for employee share-based compensation costs in accordance with SFAS No. 123R. Commencing with the first quarter of fiscal 2006, the Company began transitioning from the Black-Scholes options model to a lattice model to estimate the fair value of new employee stock options on the date of grant. The Company believes the lattice option pricing model provides a more refined estimate of the fair value of the employee stock options. The fair value of each option grant was estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model for all grants prior to January 1, 2006. For option grants in January 2006 and thereafter, the fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of the grant using the lattice option pricing model. The fair value calculation requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including expected volatility and expected life. Further, as required under SFAS No. 123R, the Company now estimates forfeitures for options granted, which are not expected to vest. Changes in these inputs and assumptions can materially affect the measure of estimated fair value of our share-based compensation.

The following is a summary of the operating results by the Company’s business segments for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2006 and March 31, 2005.

Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

There have been

The Company considered the provision of Financial Reporting Release No. 48 “Disclosure of Accounting Policies for Derivative Financial Instruments and Derivative Commodity Instruments, and Disclosure of Quantitative and Qualitative Information about Market Risk Inherent In Derivative Financial Instruments, Other Financial Instruments and Derivative Commodity Instruments.” The Company had no material changesholdings of derivative financial instruments at June 30, 2006 and our total liabilities as of June 30, 2006 consist primarily of notes payable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities. Although the Company has operations in certain foreign countries, these operations, in the aggregate, are not material to the Company’s risk since filing its Form 10-K forfinancial condition or results of operations.

The Company’s fixed rate debt consists primarily of uncollateralized term notes. In addition, the year ended December 31, 2005.Company has $189.5 million of variable rate debt outstanding. A 1% increase in interest rates, due to increased rates nationwide, would result in $1.9 million additional annual interest payments which could be significant to the Company.

The issuance of the Class B common stock was in accordance with the Master Transfer agreement with First American for the purchase of its Credit Information Group (“CIG”), which included the purchase of First American’s minority interest in DealerTrack Holdings, Inc. (“DealerTrack”). The Master Transfer agreement required the Company to issue additional shares of Class B common stock to First American in the event that DealerTrack consummated an initial public offering of its stock before the second anniversary of the closing of the CIG acquisition and the value of the minority interest in DealerTrack exceeded $50 million.
