INFORMATIVE RESEARCH EXPANDS AFFILIATE PROGRAM

GARDEN GROVE, CALIF., January 22, 2007 – Informative Research, a leading provider of credit and mortgage-related information, today announced the expansion of its Affiliate Program, which enables participating wholesale lenders, credit reporting agencies (CRAs) and lending technology providers to seamlessly re-issue credit reports.

The expansion, started in early 2006, improves the program’s capacity and connectivity by more than 25%. Currently, it enables over 100 subscribers from three different segments of the lending community to safely share accurate credit information, minimizing risk, eliminating the need for costly multiple report re-issues and opening up a broader customer base.

“We’ve come a long way since adding FannieMae, one of our first Affiliate Program subscribers,” said Informative Research Business Development Manager Donovan Williams. “On the lender front, this expansion has allowed us to welcome some industry heavy-hitters, like First National Bank of Arizona, Homecomings, Impac and Bear Stearns. As a result, the program now links these lenders with CRAs and technology providers, making Informative Research a hub through which every type of subscriber can instantly gain access to premium technology and a bigger audience of viable customers.”

According to Williams, the Affiliate Program “levels the playing field” for subscribers in each of the segments it serves. Through it, loan originators get a conduit to wholesale lender programs, lenders increase their exposure to CRAs and mortgage professionals, CRAs are linked to an expanding list of lenders and their automated underwriting/loan origination platforms, and AUS/LOS technology providers receive direct access to participating CRAs without integrating diverse systems or managing relationships, Williams explained.

Although he calls the recent expansion “a milestone,” Williams noted that the company will continue to increase the number of participating subscribers during 2007.

In support of the expansion announcement, Informative Research has released a new Affiliate Program product sheet. To obtain a copy, contact the Affiliate Program office at 714.638.2855, X115.
