The business lines in the Lender Services segment offer lenders credit reporting solutions for mortgage and home equity information needs.

The Multifamily Services segment’s business lines include resident screening, property management software and renters insurance services. The Investigative and Litigation Support Services segment supports businesses, insurers and law firms nationwide with their insurance fraud investigations, surveillance, computer forensics, electronic discovery, data recovery, due diligence reporting and corporate and litigation investigative needs.

The First American Corporation and affiliates (“First American”) own approximately 82% of the shares of capital stock of the Company as of ~~June~~September 30, 2006. The Class B common stock owned by First American is entitled to ten votes per share on all matters presented to the stockholders for vote.

On March 23, 2006, the Company issued 1,650,455 shares of its Class B common stock to FADV Holdings LLC, a subsidiary of First American. 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. The initial public offering was completed by DealerTrack on December 16, 2005. The Master Transfer agreement required the Company to issue the number of shares equal to the quotient of (x) 50% of the amount by which the value of the DealerTrack interest exceeds $50 million (based on the average closing price per share of DealerTrack’s stock over the 60 business day period beginning on the fifth business day after the completion of its initial public offering), divided by (y) $20.50.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)

September 30, 2006 and 2005 (Unaudited)

First Advantage completed ~~seven~~nine acquisitions during the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2006. The Company’s operating results for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2006 and 2005 include results for the acquired entities from their respective dates of acquisition.

Operating results for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 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 ~~June~~September 30, 2006.

As of ~~June~~September 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”.~~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 three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2006 was ~~$3.1~~$2.5 million ($~~2.3~~1.8 million after tax or ~~$0.04~~$0.03 per basic and diluted share) and ~~$6.0~~$8.5 million ($~~4.4~~6.2 million after tax or ~~$0.08~~$0.11 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. The ~~lattice~~ option pricing ~~model incorporates~~models incorporate the following.

As share-based compensation expense recognized in the Consolidated ~~Statement~~Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 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 June 30, 2006, $14.8~~$12.5 million of total unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested awards is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of ~~1.7~~1.6 years. There were no share-based compensation costs capitalized as of ~~June~~September 30, 2006.

The Company did not recognize share-based compensation expense ~~for employee share-based awards~~related to options for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 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.148~~No. 148 “Accounting for Stock-Based ~~Compensation –~~ 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, 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~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2005.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”), which clarifies the accounting for and disclosure of uncertainty in tax positions. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition associated with tax positions. The provisions of FIN 48 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company is currently evaluating the effects of adoption on its consolidated financial statements and the impact, if any, is not known at this time.

In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements,” which provides interpretive guidance on how the effects of the carryover or reversal of prior year misstatements should be considered in quantifying a current year misstatement. SAB 108 is effective for the fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006. The Company has evaluated the effects of adoption on its consolidated financial statements and the impact is not expected to be material.

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 ~~34,762~~51,144 and 29,446 shares have been issued in connection with the plan for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 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, a sub committee of the compensation committee of the board of directors of the Company.

Upon the occurrence of a change of control transaction (as defined in the plan), generally all awards under the plan accelerate, all restrictions are lifted and all performance goals are achieved, subject to certain limitations. The committee may provide that any award, the payment of which was deferred under the plan, will be paid or distributed as of, or promptly following, a change of control transaction. The committee may also provide that any awards subject to any such acceleration, payment, adjustment or conversion cannot be exercised after, or will terminate as of, a change of control transaction.

At ~~June~~September 30, 2006, ~~4,931,755~~4,964,255 stock options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock, 122,806 restricted stock awards, and 69,231 restricted stock units were granted under the First Advantage Corporation 2003 Incentive Compensation Plan. Share-based grants generally vest over three years at a rate of 33.4% for the first year and 33.3% for each of the two following years. The option grants expire ten years after the grant date. As of January 1, 2006, the Company accounts for these share-based grants in accordance with SFAS ~~No.123R,~~No. 123R, which requires that the cost resulting from all share-based payment transactions, be recognized in the financial statements.

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 ~~4,200~~4,400 employees in offices throughout the United States and abroad. During 2006, First Advantage has acquired ~~seven~~nine companies, which are all included in the Employer Services segment. During the ~~first half of~~nine months ended September 30, 2005, the Company acquired ~~three~~four companies in the Employer Services segment, ~~one company~~two companies in the Investigative and Litigation Support Services segment, one company in the Lender Services segment, one company in the Multifamily Services segment, and one company in the Dealer Services segment.

Operating results for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2006 included total revenue of ~~$205.1~~$212.0 million and ~~$399.5~~$611.5 million, respectively. This represents an increase of ~~25.5%~~24.8% and ~~31.5%~~29% over the same periods in 2005, respectively. The organic growth rate was ~~3.2%~~3.1% and ~~4.9%~~4.0% for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2006, respectively. Net income for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2006 was ~~$16.6~~$18.6 million and ~~$29.4~~$48.0 million, respectively. Net income increased ~~$4.4~~$2.6 million for the three months ended and ~~$3.2~~$5.8 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2006 in comparison to the same periods in 2005. Net income for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2006 includes the impact of adopting ~~SFAS~~Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123R (revised 2004) “Share-Based Payment,” which reduced net income by ~~$2.3~~$1.8 million and ~~$4.4~~$6.2 million or ~~$0.04~~$0.03 and ~~$0.08~~$0.11 per diluted share, respectively.

The results of operations for the ~~three and six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2005, ~~included $3.7~~include $3.2 million of nondeductible merger costs incurred in connection with the acquisition of the Credit Information Group from The First American Corporation, $2.0 million of costs incurred in connection with the relocation of the company’s corporate headquarters and other office consolidations, and ~~$290,000~~$.6 million of costs related to the launch of the corporate branding initiative in June 2005. ~~The total after-tax impact of these~~These costs ~~on results of operations for~~are included in 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.~~Company’s Corporate segment.

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~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2006 and 2005.

First Advantage filed a Registration Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the issuance of up to 5,000,000 shares of our Class A common stock, par value $.001 per share, from time to time as full or partial consideration for the acquisition of businesses, assets or securities of other business entities.

First Advantage filed a Registration Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the issuance of up to 2,000,000 shares of our Class A common stock, par value $.001 per share, from time to time for general corporate purposes. The Registration Statement was declared effective on January 3, 2005. No shares have been issued through ~~June~~September 30, 2006.

In 2006, First Advantage seeks to acquire other businesses as part of its growth strategy. The Company will continue to evaluate acquisitions in order to achieve economies of scale, expand market share and enter new markets. The extent of future acquisitions, however, is dependent upon the availability of capital and liquidity to fund such acquisitions.

While uncertainties within the Company’s industry exist, management is not aware of any trends or events likely to have a material adverse effect on liquidity or the accompanying financial statements. The Company believes that, based on current levels of operations and anticipated growth, the Company’s cash flow from operations, together with available sources of liquidity, will be sufficient to fund operations, anticipated capital expenditures, make required payments of principal and interest on debt, and satisfy other long-term contractual commitments. However, any material adverse change in our operating results from our business plan, or acceleration of existing debt obligations or in the amount of investment in acquisitions, technology or products could require the Company to seek other funding alternatives including raising additional capital.

The following is a schedule of long-term contractual commitments, as of ~~June~~September 30, 2006, over the periods in which they are expected to be paid.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

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 holdings of derivative financial instruments at ~~June~~September 30, 2006 and our total liabilities as of ~~June~~September 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 financial condition or results of operations.

The Company’s fixed rate debt consists primarily of uncollateralized term notes. In addition, the Company has ~~$189.5~~$183.0 million of variable rate debt outstanding. A 1%100 basis point increase in interest rates, due to increased rates nationwide, would result in ~~$1.9~~$1.8 million additional annual interest payments which could be significant to the Company.
