2.	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial information included in this report has been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and does not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments are of a normal recurring nature and are considered necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim period. This report should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Proxy Statement filed June 30, 2005.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared to give effect to the acquisition of the Consumer Information Group (“CIG”) Business by First Advantage. The acquisition of the CIG Business by First Advantage is a transaction between businesses under the common control of First American. In acquisition of businesses under common control, the acquiring company

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

records acquired assets and liabilities at historical costs. The historical income statements of First Advantage for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 have been restated to include operations of the CIG business at historical cost assuming the acquisition was completed on January 1, 2004. The balance sheet at December 31, 2004 has been restated to reflect the acquisition.

On September 14, 2005 in connection with the consummation of the acquisition of the CIG Business and related businesses from First American, First Advantage repaid in full the principal amount of $20 million under a promissory note originally issued to First American, by issuing 975,610 shares of First Advantage’s Class B common stock.

In conjunction with the CIG acquisition, First Advantage will be obligated to issue additional shares of Class B common stock to First American in the future if DealerTrack (a 21% owned equity investee) consummates an initial public offering of its stock on or prior to September 14, 2007 and the value of the DealerTrack Interest exceeds $50 million. If DealerTrack completes an IPO within 180 days of September 14, 2005, the number of shares to be issued will be 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. If the DealerTrack IPO occurs after the 180-day period following September 14, 2005 (but prior to September 14, 2007), the number of additional Class B common shares issuable to First American will be equal to the quotient of (x) 50% of the amount by which 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 its initial public offering), divided by (y) the average closing price per share of First Advantage’s Class A common stock during the 30 trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date of DealerTrack’s IPO, except that the minimum price per share will be $20.50.

First Advantage completed three additional acquisitions during the third quarter of 2005. The Company’s operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 include results for the acquired entities, other than CIG, from their respective dates of acquisition.

Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year.

The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, include $3.2 million of nondeductible merger costs that First Advantage incurred in connection with its pending acquisition of the CIG Business 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 $0.6 million of costs related to the launch of the corporate branding initiative that was announced in June 2005. These costs are included in the Company’s Corporate segment.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are due from companies in a broad range of industries located throughout the United States. Credit is extended based on an evaluation of the customer’s financial condition, and generally, collateral is not required.

The allowance for all probable uncollectible receivables is based on a combination of historical data, cash payment trends, specific customer issues, write-off trends, general economic conditions and other factors. These factors are continuously monitored by management to arrive at the estimate for the amount of accounts receivable that may be ultimately uncollectible. In circumstances where the Company is aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations, the Company records a specific allowance for doubtful accounts against amounts due, to reduce the net recognized receivable to the amount it reasonably believes will be collected. Management believes that the allowance at September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004 is reasonably stated.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

September 30, 2005 and 2004 (Unaudited)

Comprehensive Income

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income”, governs the financial statement presentation of changes in stockholders’ equity resulting from non-owner sources. Comprehensive income includes all changes in equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distribution to owners.

Impairment of Intangible and Long-Lived Assets

First Advantage carries intangible and long-lived assets at cost less accumulated amortization. Accounting standards require that assets be written down if they become impaired. Intangible and long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset is not recoverable. At such time that an impairment in value of an intangible or long-lived asset is identified, the impairment will be measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of a long-lived asset exceeds its fair value. Fair value is determined by employing an expected present value technique, which utilizes multiple cash flow scenarios that reflect the range of possible outcomes and an appropriate discount rate.

Stock Based Compensation Plan

The Company adopted SFAS No. 148 “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure,” as of January 1, 2003 with respect to the disclosure requirements. The Company has elected to continue accounting for stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations. 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 stock-based employee compensation, net income and net income per share would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated in the following table.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R (Revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment.” SFAS No. 123R is a revision of FASB Statement 123 “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25 “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” and its related implementation guidance. The Statement focuses primarily on

-9-

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

September 30, 2005 and 2004 (Unaudited)

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 will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award. In April 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission approved a new rule that amended the effective date of SFAS 123R, whereby the Company will now be required to adopt this standard no later than January 1, 2006. Based on options outstanding at September 30, 2005, the Company estimates the effects of FAS 123R will reduce diluted earnings per share by $0.09 in 2006.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue from the sale of reports is recognized at the time of delivery, as the Company has no significant ongoing obligation after delivery. Revenue from investigative services is recognized as services are performed. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, the Company includes reimbursed government fees in revenue and in cost of service. Membership fees, billed monthly to member’s accounts, are recognized in the month the fee is earned. A portion of the membership revenue received is paid in the form of a commission to clients and is reflected in other operating expenses. Revenue earned from providing services to third party issuers of membership based consumer products is recognized at the time the service is provided, generally on a monthly basis. Software maintenance revenues are recognized ratably over the term of the maintenance period. Custom programming and professional consulting service revenue is recognized using the percentage-of-completion method pursuant to Accounting Research Bulletin (ARB) No. 45 “Long-Term Construction-Type Contracts.” To the extent that interim amounts billed to clients exceed revenue earned, deferred income is recorded. Other revenue is recognized upon completion of the contractual obligation, which is typically evidenced by delivery of the product or performance of the service.

3.	Acquisitions

During the first quarter of 2005, the Company completed two acquisitions and made a scheduled payment amounting to $233,000 of Class A shares related to a prior year acquisition. During the second quarter of 2005, the Company acquired four companies. The Company acquired three companies in the third quarter of 2005. These acquisitions have been included in the Company’s Lender Services, Dealer Services, Employer Services, Multifamily Services, and Investigative and Litigation Support Services segments. The preliminary allocation of the purchase price is based upon estimates of the assets and liabilities acquired in accordance with SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations.” The allocations may be revised in 2005. The acquisition of these companies is based on management’s consideration of past and expected future performance as well as the potential strategic fit with the long-term goals of the Company. The expected long-term growth, market position and expected synergies to be generated by inclusion of these

Less current portion of long-term debt and capital leases		31,685,000

Long-term debt and capital leases, net of current portion	$	95,208,000

On September 14, 2005, at the closing of the CIG Acquisition, the Company executed a $45 million unsecured subordinated promissory note in favor of First American. Under the note, First Advantage may borrow, repay and re-borrow for up to and including 90 days from closing. The note matures 135 days after September 14, 2005. The note bears interest at the rate payable under First Advantage’s line of credit with Bank of America, N.A. plus 0.5% per annum. Proceeds of the note may be used only for working capital of CIG. There is no outstanding balance at September 30, 2005.

On September 29, 2005, the Company executed of a revolving credit agreement, with a bank syndication (the “Credit Agreement”). Borrowings available under the Credit Agreement total up to $225 million. The Credit Agreement includes a $10 million sub-facility for the issuance of letters of credit and up to a $5 million swing loan facility. The credit facility maturity date is September 28, 2010.

The interest rate is based on the one of two options consisting of 1) the higher of Federal Funds Rate plus ¹/2% and Bank of America’s announced “Prime Rate” or 2) a “LIBOR based rate”. The “LIBOR based rate” is based on LIBOR plus a margin that can range from 1.125% to 1.75% (based on progressive levels of leverage). First Advantage management must elect the LIBOR based option up to three days prior to its utilization.

The agreement contains usual and customary negative covenants for transactions of this type including but not limited to those regarding liens, investments, creation of indebtedness and fundamental changes, as well as financial covenants of consolidated leverage ratio and minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio.

The agreement contains usual and customary provisions regarding acceleration. In the event of a default by the Company under the credit facility, the lenders will have no further obligation to make loans or issue letters of credit and in some cases may, at the option of a majority of the lenders, declare all amounts owed by the Company immediately due and payable and require the

September 30, 2005 and 2004 (Unaudited)

Company to provide collateral, and in some cases any amounts owed by the Company under the credit facility will automatically become immediately due and payable.

At September 30, 2005, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants of its loan agreement.

6.	Income Taxes

The effective tax rate was 40% and 43% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, respectively. The nine month rate exceeds the Company's statutory tax rate primarily due to the nondeductible merger costs of $3.2 million that were incurred in the second quarter of 2005 in connection with the pending acquisition of the CIG Business from First American.

The net change in the total valuation allowance for the third quarter 2005 was a decrease of $33 million with an offsetting entry to goodwill. The valuation allowance relates primarily to deferred tax assets for federal net operating-loss carryforwards relating to acquisitions. Utilization of the pre-acquisition net operating losses is subject to limitations by the Internal Revenue Code and state jurisdictions. The Company evaluates the realizability of its deferred tax assets by assessing the valuation allowance and by adjusting the amount of such allowance if necessary. The factors used to assess the likelihood of realization are the Company’s forecast of future taxable income and available tax planning strategies that could be implemented to realize the net deferred tax assets.

Based upon a sustained pattern of historical taxable income, projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the net operating losses will be deductible, and the impact the CIG acquisition had on the pooled historical taxable income and on the projections for future taxable income, management believes it is more likely than not that First Advantage will realize the benefits of the federal net operating losses. The valuation allowance relating to the state net operating-loss carryforwards will remain until further evidence is available to indicate that these deferred assets are realizable.

7.	Earnings Per Share

In 2005, 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, fund 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 September 30, 2005 over the periods in which they are expected to be paid.
