Among the new contracts is one with Automotive Risk Management, Inc. (ARM), of Weston, FL. Under the contract, IMS Direct, IMSG's direct marketing subsidiary, will provide rate quotes and service on behalf of ARM to customers purchasing auto insurance through an expanding network of auto dealers. The customer will be able to obtain competitive insurance rates from various companies via telephones on free-standing kiosks in new car showrooms.

The kiosks are placed and serviced by World Interactive Network, ARM's partner in the project. ARM is a technology company working with approximately 8,000 auto dealers. IMSG expects revenues from its new venture with ARM to commence late in the third quarter. Patrick Clawson, vice-chairman of ARM, says the kiosks are already in place in south Florida, and nationwide distribution is planned. `So far, the buy rate is extremely successful,` says Clawson. `Of the customers who pick up the phone at the kiosk to obtain quotes, approximately 40% are purchasing auto insurance.`

The Company also entered into a new contract with Homesite, an Internet direct insurance provider based in Boston. IMSG, in partnership with First Community Insurance Company, a multi-line property and casualty carrier, will provide and process flood insurance policies for Homesite's homeowners insurance customers. This program will become operational and begin generating revenue August 1, 1999. IMSG also signed a three-year contract with First Insurance Company of Hawaii to provide flood insurance processing for their Write-Your-Own flood insurance program beginning October 1, 1999. In addition, IMS Direct has also contracted with NationsBank for flood monitoring and force placement of flood insurance for the Bank's four commercial divisions located in Dallas, TX, St. Louis, MO, Charlotte, NC and Jacksonville, FL. Geotrac, a wholly-owned IMSG subsidiary, also acquired 53 new contracts. Geotrac is a national provider of comprehensive flood compliance services for financial institutions engaged in mortgage lending. Some of the new clients include Standard Financial Mortgage Corporation, Prudential Savings Bank, TCF Mortgage Corporation, Third Federal Savings (Cleveland, OH), Tricor Mortgage Corporation, Aegis Mortgage, Provident Mortgage Corporation, Northern Trust Bank Company; Alliance Mortgage Company; and Sky Financial Group. Geotrac president Daniel White expects these contracts to `produce incremental revenue as early as the third quarter of 1999.` White indicated that flood zone revenues seemed to have bottomed out in April of 1999, and added, `These new agreements should re-establish quarter-over-quarter growth in the number of flood zone determinations processed.`
