     On  August  14, 1998, the Registrant acquired Houston-based commercial real
estate  information  provider, C Data Services, Inc. d/b/a Core Data Services, a

9th  largest  commercial  real  estate  market,  to  the  Registrant's expanding
national  coverage.  With this acquisition, the Registrant currently operates in

     Core was acquired in a transaction in which the former stockholders of Core
received  93,530 shares of the Registrant and approximately $9,000 in cash.  The
transaction  was  structured  as  a  reverse  subsidiary merger in which a newly
formed  subsidiary  of  the  Registrant  was  merged  with and into Core and was
effective  on  August  17,  1998  upon  filing  of  Articles  of Merger with the
Secretary of State of the State of Texas.  The consideration paid was determined

days  preceding  August  14,  1998  and  is  intended  to  represent  a value of
approximately  $878,000.
