Item 1.

Change in Control of Registrant.

Pursuant to an agreement dated May 23, 2001, by and among AB Financial Services, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company ("ABFS") and US Data Authority, Inc. (the "Company") (the "Purchase Agreement"), ABFS purchased and will acquire from the Company in two traunches, (i) 12,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $.02 per share ("Common Stock") and warrants to purchase 30,000,000 shares of Common Stock ("Warrants"), for $600,000 and $20,000, respectively, and (ii) 28,000,000 shares of Common Stock for $4,200,000. The first traunch was purchased on May 23, 2001. Subsequently, on May 23, 2001, ABFS sold 3,500,000 shares of the Common Stock that it purchased in the first traunch to a group of accredited investors. All such purchasers executed a one-year voting trust agreement in favor of ABFS. ABFS may sell in private transactions to accredited investors the right to purchase shares of Common Stock which ABFS is entitled to acquire in the second traunch. The USDA Board of Directors, on July 27, 2001, granted ABFS a sixty-day extension to its original June 20, 2001 closing date to complete the purchase of the second traunch. ABFS intends to be the beneficial owner of all such Common Stock.

The Common Stock and Warrants purchased by ABFS represent approximately 77% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company.

Robert M. Beaton, a member of ABFS, has been appointed Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The Purchase Agreement provides that ABFS may nominate certain persons to the Board of Directors of the Company in order to gain majority representation.

Joseph E. Shamy, the current President and former Chief Executive Officer of the Company, has agreed, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, to assign any voting rights with respect to the 1,250,000 shares of the Company's convertible preferred stock that he owns to ABFS for a period of one year. Such shares purport to have ten to one voting rights with the Common Stock of the Company.

The foregoing response to this Item 1 is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Purchase Agreement, Registration Rights Agreement and Voting Trust Agreement, the full text of which are filed as Exhibit 1, 2 and 3 hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.
