                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of DBT Online, Inc. and subsidiaries:

We have audited the consolidated balance sheet of DBT Online, Inc. and
subsidiaries ("DBT Online") as of December 31, 1999, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity, and cash
flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 1999 (not
presented separately herein). Our audits also included DBT Online's financial
statement schedule for each of the two years in the period ended December 31,
1999 (not presented separately herein). These financial statements and the
financial statement schedule are the responsibility of DBT Online's management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and
financial statement schedule based on our audits. The consolidated financial
statements give retroactive effect to the merger of DBT Online and I.R.S.C.,
Inc. and subsidiaries ("IRSC"), which has been accounted for as a pooling of
interests as described in Note 3 to such consolidated financial statements. We
did not audit the statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity, and
cash flows of IRSC for the year ended December 31, 1998, which statements
reflect total revenues constituting 12% of consolidated total revenues for the
year then ended. Those statements were audited by other auditors whose report
has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts
included for IRSC for 1998, is based solely on the report of such other
auditors.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits and the report of
the other auditors provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, based on our audits and for 1998 the report of the other
auditors, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of DBT Online, Inc. and
subsidiaries as of December 31, 1999, and the results of their operations and
their cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31,
1999, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America. Also, in our opinion, such financial statement schedule, when
considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a
whole, presents fairly, in all material respects the information set forth
therein.
