            SUPPLEMENT NO. 1 TO PROSPECTUS, DATED NOVEMBER 12, 1996
 
  On December 19, 1996, Avert, Inc. ("Avert") entered into an agreement with
Ameritech Information Access, L.L.C., an affiliate of Ameritech Corporation, to
provide pre-employment background information through Ameritech's CivicLink
service. The agreement is for a term of five years with automatic one-year
renewals and is terminable by either party after one year upon 90 days prior
written notice. The Agreement provides that, for a period of one year, Avert
will be the exclusive provider of pre-employment information for access on
Ameritech's CivicLink service (except in certain limited circumstances) and
Ameritech will be the exclusive distributor of information provided by Avert in
the states of Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, and Wisconsin, with certain
exceptions. Under the Agreement, it is expected that Ameritech will market pre-
employment information services internally to Ameritech affiliates and to
Ameritech's business customers in the five-state region. The Agreement does not
provide for any guaranteed minimum volume of transactions by CivicLink end-
users or any minimum payment or fees to Avert.
