                         REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Patlex Corporation

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Patlex Corporation (Patlex)
as of June 30, 1996 and 1995, and the related statements of earnings,
stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial
statements are the responsibility of Patlex's management. Our responsibility is
to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Patlex at June 30, 1996 and
1995, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then
ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                          Notes to Financial Statements
    


   
1.  NATURE OF THE BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
    

   
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
    

   
On September 27, 1995, AutoFinance Group, Inc., a California corporation (AFG),
as the then sole shareholder of the Company, effected the distribution of 95.01%
of the outstanding shares of the Company's common stock to the holders of shares
of common stock of AFG. On September 27, 1995, AFG merged with and into Key Auto
Inc. (Key Auto), an Ohio corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of KeyCorp
Key Auto, as the successor to AFG, and retained the 4.99% of the outstanding
shares of the Company's common stock which was not distributed in the
distribution. As a consequence of the distribution, the Company is an
independent, public company. The consummation of the distribution was a
condition to the merger because KeyCorp is not permitted under federal banking
law to acquire the assets and business of Patlex. Accounting for the
distribution of the assets and liabilities was based on the recorded amounts
which approximated net realizable value.
    

   
On December 11, 1992, Patlex Corporation (Patlex) merged with and became a
subsidiary of AutoFinance Group, Inc. (AFG). The merger was consummated by
exchanging each of the 5,180,863 common shares outstanding of Patlex at the time
of the merger for 1.4 shares of common stock of AFG. The fair values of the
assets acquired and liabilities assumed were fully allocated to Patlex.
    

   
ORGANIZATION
    

   
Patlex is engaged in enforcing and exploiting a group of laser related patents
(the Laser Patents), through litigation and a licensing program (the Patent
Business). The Patent Business includes the identification of infringers and
laser patent applications which infringe the Laser Patents and the execution of
licensing agreements through normal commercial negotiations or pursuant to
settlements of litigation brought against infringers of the patents. Patlex was
incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and has engaged
in the Patent Business since 1979.
    

   
Patlex conducts its patent enforcement and exploitation business in Las Vegas,
Nevada, with separate executive, legal, treasury, and accounting functions.
Management of Patlex believes that Patlex's general and administrative costs for
the periods prior to the distribution are those Patlex would incur as a separate
company.

                    Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
    


   
1. NATURE OF THE BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
   (CONTINUED)
    

   
Patlex owns a 64% income interest and a 42.86% ownership interest in several
patents, the most significant of which derive from patent applications
originally filed by Dr. Gordon Gould in 1959. NGN Acquisition Corporation (NGN),
a corporation owned by Dr. Gould and his family, holds the remaining 57.14%
ownership interest in the Laser Patents. Other income interests in the Laser
Patents are held by NGN (20%) and Refac Financial Corporation (REFAC) (16%). In
addition to NGN's 20% income interest, Patlex is contractually obligated to pay
NGN an additional 1.5% of the first $198,800,000 of net royalty income. As of
June 30, 1996, total royalties collected under the Laser Patents were
approximately $103,670,000, approximately $99,246,000 of which constituted net
royalty income from which other income interests payments were calculated.
    

   
Patlex has the right to receive out of the laser patent royalty revenues an
amount equal to expenses incurred and paid by Patlex which are directly related
to enforcing and litigating the Laser Patents. Such expenses are deducted from
the total laser patent royalty revenues; the resultant royalty amount
constitutes net laser patent royalties. Royalty payments payable to the Laser
Patent interest holders are computed on the basis of net royalties.
    

   
USE OF ESTIMATES
    

   
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
    

   
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
    

   
For purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents include
highly liquid investments purchased with the original maturity of three months
or less.
    

   
PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES
    

   
Patlex adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 (SFAS 109),
"Accounting for Income Taxes," during the year ended June 30, 1993. SFAS 109
requires a change from the deferred method of accounting for income taxes to the
liability method.

                    Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
    

   
1. NATURE OF THE BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
   (CONTINUED)
    

   
Under SFAS 109, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on
differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and
liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the
differences are expected to reverse. As permitted under SFAS 109, prior years'
financial statements have not been restated. Because there was no significant
statement of earnings effect as a result of the adoption of SFAS 109, Patlex did
not recognize a cumulative effect change in accounting principle.
    

   
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
    

   
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Betterments and major renewals are
capitalized and included in property and equipment accounts while expenditures
for maintenance and repairs and minor renewals are charged to expense. When
assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the assets and related allowances
for depreciation are eliminated from the accounts, and any resulting gain or
loss is reflected in income.
    

   
Depreciation charges for financial reporting purposes are determined on the
straight-line basis. Accelerated depreciation is generally used for income tax
purposes.
    

   
REVENUE RECOGNITION
    

   
The basis of reporting royalty revenues is derived from Patent License
Agreements between Patlex and approximately 230 licensees. The licensees are
obligated to file periodic activity reports which reflect gross royalties due
Patlex. Included in the gross royalties reported by the licensees are amounts
due to others as explained in "Organization" herein above. Patlex reports as
royalty revenue only its share of the gross royalties reported by the licensees.
    

   
NET EARNINGS PER SHARE
    

   
Net earnings per common share for the year ended June 30, 1996, presented was
computed by dividing net income for the period by the weighted-average number of
common shares outstanding during the period plus common stock equivalent shares
issuable upon exercise of stock options using the treasury stock method. Pro
forma net earnings and dividends per share for the prior period presented are
computed by giving effect to the number of shares of Patlex's common stock which
would have been outstanding had the distribution occurred one year earlier with
no change in the number of shares outstanding occurring since that date.

123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," which is effective for financial
statements of Patlex beginning with fiscal years ending after December 15, 1995.
The Statement allows Patlex to charge to expense the fair value of employee
stock options or to continue the current practice of recognizing no compensation
expense because the amount an employee must pay to acquire the Patlex's stock
(the option exercise price) is equal to the stock's market value at the grant
date. Patlex has elected to not charge to expense the fair value of employee
stock options and has disclosed the pro forma effect on operations had the fair
value of the options been charged to expense (see Note 7).
    

   
INVESTMENT IN PATENTS
    

   
Investment in Patents is recorded at the excess of the cost basis from the
merger with AFG over the fair values of net assets acquired by AFG at the time
of the merger. Investment in Patents costs are amortized on the straight-line
method over the remaining lives of the patents at the date of the merger (see
Note 4).
    

   
In accordance with FASB Statement No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of," Patlex records
impairment losses on long-lived assets used in its operation when events and
circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired and the undiscounted
cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the carrying
amounts of those assets. No events or circumstances indicate that the Investment
in Patents might be impaired.

The Optically Pumped Laser Patent (U.S. Patent No. 4,053,845) expired in October
1994. Prior to its expiration, the Optically Pumped Laser Patent accounted for
approximately 28% of the laser patent royalty revenues, the Gas Discharge Laser
patent accounted for approximately 62% of the laser patent royalty revenues, the
Use Patent accounted for approximately 10% of the laser patent royalty revenues
and the Brewster Angle Window Patent accounted for less than 0.25% of laser
patent royalty revenues. Patlex anticipates that the decrease in royalty
revenues as a result of the expiration of the Optically Pumped Laser Patent may
be offset to some extent by increased royalty revenues from the Use and/or
Brewster Angle Window Patents. Patlex's management has determined through its
review of royalty reports filed by its licensees and discussions with
representatives of, and counsel to such licensees, that certain of its licensees
are paying royalties under the Use Patent and/or the Brewster Angle Window
Patent with respect to laser products for which they had previously been paying
royalties under the Optically Pumped Laser Patent.

LITIGATION
    

   
Due to the nature of Patlex's business, especially its involvement in the
enforcement of patent rights, Patlex has been continually involved in litigation
with alleged infringers of patents in which Patlex owns an interest. Patlex
regards all such lawsuits as occurring in the regular course of business.
Furthermore, as a result of the involvement of the United

7.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (CONTINUED)
    

   
States Patent and Trademark Office in granting and denying patent applications
and in conducting reexaminations of patents, the Company has in the past been
required to prosecute appeals of United States Patent and Trademark Office
rulings adverse to the Company's interest to the United States District Court.
No such appeals are pending at this time, and the Company does not anticipate
such appeals will be necessary in the future with regard to the Laser Patents.
In connection with suits filed against alleged patent infringers to enforce a
patent, defendants often file counterclaims seeking payment by the plaintiffs of
any damages suffered by the defendants on account of the lawsuit and
reimbursement by the plaintiffs of the defendants' costs and attorneys' fees.
While such counterclaims have been filed against the Company, to date the
Company has not incurred liability with regard to such counterclaims. The
Company may also be required to file suits to enforce collection and compliance
under its patent license agreements with its current licensees.
    

   
In November 1994, REFAC Financial Corporation (REFAC) instituted a civil action
in the United States District Court, Eastern District of Pennsylvania, alleging
that Patlex improperly calculated the royalties due REFAC. The manner in which
the royalties due REFAC are calculated has been consistent for more than six
years. Patlex believes that the royalties due REFAC have been properly
calculated and that REFAC's claim is both without merit and time-barred. On
February 28, 1996, a special verdict adverse to Patlex was returned. Post-trial
motions have been denied but no separate judgment has been entered. The amount
of any judgment against Patlex in this action will be less than $225,000. When a
separate judgment is entered, Patlex intends to appeal this judgment. The amount
of the judgment that Patlex is appealing is not material to the Company's
operations.

RIGHTS OF HOLDERS OF KEYCORP STOCK OPTIONS
    

   
Prior to the merger with AFG, Patlex had a qualified and nonqualified
employee-incentive stock option plan. Under the 1981 Incentive Stock Option
Plan, options to purchase common shares could be granted at prices not less than
fair market value on the date of grant for a period not exceeding 10 years and
were exercisable at the option of the holder. All options were assumed by AFG in
connection with that merger in 1992.

The merger agreement of KeyCorp and AFG provided that KeyCorp would assume each
AFG Option granted by AFG pursuant to its option plans (the 1989 Stock Option
and Performance Award Plan and the 1991 Stock Option Plan) which were
outstanding and unexercised, whether or not exercisable, and convert each AFG
Option into a KeyCorp Option. In addition, the distribution agreement provided
that the holder of each KeyCorp Option granted upon conversion of an AFG Option
would be entitled to receive upon exercise of such option, in addition to one
share of KeyCorp common stock, one share of Patlex common stock for every eight
shares of AFG common stock that would have been issuable except for the
conversion to the KeyCorp Option.
    

   
At June 30, 1996, a total of 31,978 shares of Patlex common stock, for which no
consideration will accrue to Patlex, is issuable upon the exercise of KeyCorp
stock options acquired by holders as a result of the merger of AFG and KeyCorp.
Each holder is entitled to receive one share of Patlex common stock for every
eight shares of KeyCorp common stock issuable upon exercise of such options.
    

   
PATLEX STOCK OPTION PLAN
    

   
Patlex has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25,
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," (APB 25) and related interpretations
in accounting for its employee stock options because, as discussed below, the
alternative fair value accounting provided for under FASB Statement No. 123,
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," requires use of option valuation
models that are not developed for use in valuing employee stock options. Under
APB 25, because the exercise price of Patlex's employees stock options equals
the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation
expense is recognized.
    

   
The 1995 Stock Option Plan (the Plan), approved by the Patlex Board of Directors
as of March 31, 1995, and approved by AFG on September 8, 1995, provides for
incentive and nonqualified stock options for designated officers, directors,
employees, and key advisors of Patlex. The aggregate number of shares of common
stock that may be offered pursuant to the Plan amounts to 375,000.
    

   
Options to purchase shares of common stock can be granted at a price determined
by a committee appointed by the Board of Directors provided however, that the
purchase price of shares subject to incentive stock options shall be equal to or
greater than fair market value of shares of common stock at date of grant and a
nonqualified stock options shall

not be less than 85% of fair market value of a share of common stock at date of
grant. Stock options are exercisable at the discretion of the committee. The
term of each stock option is ten years. At June 30, 1996, 350,000 shares have
been granted and are exercisable at $4.75 per share.
    

   
Pro forma information regarding net earnings and earnings per share is required
by Statement 123 and has been determined as if Patlex had accounted for its
employee stock options under the fair value method of the Statement. The fair
value for these options was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes
options pricing model with the following assumptions: risk-free interest rate of
6.15%, dividend yields of 0%, volatility factors of the expected market price of
the Patlex's common stock of .10, and an expected life of the option of two
years.
    

   
The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the
fair value of traded options which have no vesting restrictions and are fully
transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly
subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Because
Patlex's employee stock options have characteristics significantly different
from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input
assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management's
opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single
measure of the fair value of its employee stock options.
    

   
Patlex's pro forma information for the year ended June 30, 1996 is as follows:

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES
    

   
Patlex adopted SFAS 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," during 1993. SFAS 109
requires a change from the deferred method of accounting for income taxes to the
liability method. Concurrent with the accounting for the assets acquired and
liabilities assumed in the merger with AFG, a net deferred tax liability and an
increase in intangibles of $3,831,000 was recorded, principally as a result of
the difference between the financial and tax reporting basis of the investment
in patents.

8.  INCOME TAXES (CONTINUED)
    

   
The SFAS 109 adjustments recognize the deferred tax liability allocated by AFG
in the purchase price accounting and were calculated giving recognition to AFG
net operating loss carryforwards. In 1993 and 1994, Patlex filed a consolidated
tax return with AFG. The carryforwards were utilized in 1993 and 1994 in the
consolidated tax return. Pursuant to a tax-sharing agreement, Patlex paid to its
parent the book income tax provision determined on a separate company basis.
Under the terms of the spin-off of Patlex (see Note 1), the financial statement
and the tax basis of assets and liabilities will carry over to Patlex. As these
temporary differences reverse, Patlex will pay additional current taxes.
Accordingly, deferred tax liabilities related to these temporary differences
have been provided for in the accompanying financial statements. Because in
prior years Patlex paid cash to AFG related to the deferred income tax
provision, such prior payments have been reflected as dividends in the
accompanying financial statements.
    

   
The provision for income taxes for the years ended June 30, 1996 and 1995
consist of the following (in thousands):

12.  PROPOSED ACQUISITION
    

   
On February 7, 1996, Patlex entered into a definitive merger agreement with
Database Technologies, Inc. (DBT), of Pompano Beach, Florida. The merger is
intended to be a tax-free reorganization in which the shareholders of DBT would
receive a number of shares of Patlex common stock equal to 65% of the sum of the
number of outstanding common shares plus one-half the number of Patlex options
and certain rights to receive Patlex common stock outstanding at the time of the
merger (see Note 7). Consummation of the merger is conditioned on, among other
things, receipt of the necessary shareholder and regulatory approvals.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                 FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 AND 1994
    
 
   
NOTE 1 -- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
    
 
   
ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
    
 
   
     Database Technologies, Inc. ("DBT" or the "Company") was incorporated in
Florida on February 18, 1992. DBT is an electronic information retrieval company
that provides its customers on-line, real-time access to public records through
computer modem access.
    
 
   
     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
    
 
   
UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
    
 
   
     The unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared by the
Company in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission regarding interim financial reporting and, accordingly,
they do not include all the information and disclosures required by generally
accepted accounting principles. In the opinion of management, the interim
financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited
financial statements and include all adjustments, consisting mainly of normal
recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial
position and results of operations for the periods shown. The results of the
six months ended June 30, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results
for the full fiscal year.
    
 
   
REVENUE RECOGNITION
    
 
   
     Customers are charged for each minute they are active on the system.
Revenue is recognized at the time of the customer access, net of credits issued.
Accounts receivable are primarily with law enforcement agencies, insurance
companies and similar users of public records. The Company's customers are
numerous and spread over a wide geographic area. As such, the Company believes
that it does not have an abnormal concentration of credit risk within any one
market or any one geographic area.
    
 
   
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
    
 
   
     Property and equipment is recorded at cost and depreciated using
accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Useful lives
range from five to seven years. Expenditures for routine maintenance and repairs
are charged to expense as incurred.
    
 
   
PURCHASED DATA
    
 
   
     Data acquired from third parties with an estimated useful life of a year or
more is recorded at cost and amortized over the estimated periods to be
benefited (primarily five years) using the straight-line method. Amortization
expense in 1995 totaled $56,700 and in 1994 totaled $8,600.
    
 
   
     Other purchased data not meeting the capitalization policy is expensed as
acquired.
    
 
   
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS
    
 
   
     Costs for research and development activities are expensed as incurred and
totaled $956,900 and $552,700, respectively, for the years ended December 31,
1995 and 1994.

NOTE 1 -- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES -- (CONTINUED)
INCOME TAXES
    
 
   
     Through June 30, 1995, DBT, with the consent of its shareholders, had
elected under provisions of the Internal Revenue Code to be an S corporation. In
lieu of corporation income taxes, the shareholders of an S corporation are taxed
on their proportionate share of taxable income. Therefore, no provision or
liability for income taxes was included in the accompanying financial statements
for DBT's results of operations through June 30, 1995. Effective July 1, 1995,
DBT terminated this election, which results in DBT directly paying taxes on its
earnings.
    
 
   
     Effective July 1, 1995, the Company accounts for its income taxes in
accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes". Deferred tax liabilities and assets are
recognized for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been
included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred
tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the
financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax
rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. A
valuation allowance is recognized to reduce net deferred tax assets to amounts
that are more likely than not to be realized.
    
 
   
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
    
 
   
     For purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash equivalents include
highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or
less.
    
 
   
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
    
 
   
     Cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities are
reflected in the financial statements at cost, which approximates fair value
because of the short-term maturity of those instruments. The fair values of the
Company's debt obligations are disclosed in Note 6.
    
 
   
RECLASSIFICATION
    
 
   
     Certain 1994 amounts were reclassified to conform with the 1995
presentation.
    
 
   
NOTE 2 -- STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
    
 
   
     Prior to August 10, 1995, DBT had 10,000 shares of no par common stock
authorized, with a stated value of $1 per share. Effective August 10, 1995, DBT
executed a 1,000 for 1 split of its common stock, which increased authorized
shares to 10,000,000, and restated its par value to $.001 per share. All share
information presented in the accompanying financial statements has been restated
to reflect this stock split.

     All debt with the commercial bank is personally guaranteed by the majority
shareholder of the Company and is secured by substantially all assets of DBT. In
addition, DBT must maintain certain financial ratios and comply with specified
covenants.
    
 
   
     The estimated fair value of DBT's long-term debt with financial
institutions is the same as its recorded value at December 31, 1995 because the
interest rates and terms approximate current market conditions. Because of the
unique nature of the debt described in Note 7, fair value estimation is not
practicable. This debt is expected to be repaid during 1996.

NOTE 7 -- TEXAS DEBT AND ROYALTY AGREEMENT
    
 
   
     On February 7, 1994, a debt and royalty agreement was entered into with a
consortium of seven individuals. During 1995, one of these seven became a
shareholder and director of DBT. The agreement provided the financing necessary
for DBT to enter the Texas market with its database services. The agreement
provided for the following:
    
 
   
DEBT AGREEMENT
    
 
   
     A loan to DBT of $200,000, repayable without interest as follows: for five
months beginning May 1994, 50% of specified revenues from Texas operations or
$2,000, whichever is greater, then beginning October 1994,

50% of specified revenues from Texas operations or $5,000, whichever is greater,
until the $200,000 note is repaid. During 1995 and 1994, $94,800 and $25,000,
respectively, was repaid (see Note 6).
    
 
   
ROYALTY AGREEMENT
    
 
   
     A royalty agreement to share in the revenues of the Texas expansion up to
$800,000, computed as follows: after the $200,000 note is repaid, the consortium
will receive 10% of specified revenues from Texas operations until $800,000 is
paid.
    
 
   
NOTE 8 -- IRB TRANSACTION
    
 
   
     Effective July 1, 1995, DBT purchased for cash and stock all of the
outstanding shares of common stock of International Research Bureau, Inc.
("IRB"). Subsequent to the acquisition, management of DBT re-evaluated the
future potential of IRB's core document retrieval business and concluded that
IRB's assets, other than its on-line customer list, had no future value to DBT.
Factors which led DBT's management to this evaluation included the conclusions
that DBT's technology was superior to IRB's, and that IRB's data was duplicative
of data which DBT already possessed. On December 13, 1995, IRB's shares were
transferred back to the original owners of IRB in exchange for DBT common stock.
Because DBT's ownership of IRB was temporary, DBT has accounted for its
investment in IRB using the equity method.
    
 
   
     As a result of these transactions, DBT acquired IRB's customer list for its
on-line business and a covenant not to compete. The assets of DBT given up
included cash of $1,000,000; common stock of DBT valued at $485,700 (after
accounting for the returned shares); and investments in the operations of IRB
and other costs totaling $373,000. Management's estimate of the fair value of
the acquired assets, totaling $198,600, was recorded on DBT's balance sheet, and
the remainder of the costs incurred were charged to operations.
    
 
   
NOTE 9 -- INCOME TAXES
    
 
   
     As discussed in Note 1, DBT was taxed as an S corporation from inception
through July 1, 1995. Effective that date, DBT terminated this election, which
results in DBT directly paying taxes on its earnings. As a result of this
termination, a final S corporation distribution of $204,000 was accrued,
$230,700 of undistributed S corporation earnings were reclassed to additional
paid-in capital and deferred income taxes were established for the tax bases of
assets and liabilities that are different than those recognized for financial
reporting purposes, as follows:

     DBT has a capital loss carryover of approximately $700,000 for tax
purposes, which expires in 2000. This loss results from the IRB transaction. The
related deferred tax asset has been completely offset by a valuation allowance,
as it is more likely than not that this asset will not be realized prior to its
expiration.

NOTE 11 -- SUBSEQUENT EVENT
    
 
   
     On February 7, 1996, DBT agreed to merge with Patlex Corporation
("Patlex"). Pursuant to the merger agreement, DBT's shareholders would hold a
majority of the stock in a holding company which will own all of the stock in
both DBT and Patlex. Patlex is engaged in the exploitation and enforcement of
certain laser patents. This merger agreement is subject to the approval of the
shareholders of both companies.
    
 
   
NOTE 12 -- PRO FORMA INCOME TAXES AND EARNINGS (UNAUDITED)
    
 
   
As discussed in Note 1, having elected status as an S corporation, the
shareholders of DBT paid the federal income tax on DBT's earnings through June
30, 1995. Additionally, DBT was exempt from Florida state income tax on its
earnings during that period, as Florida does not separately tax S corporations.
As a result, no income tax expense was provided in the historical financial
statements for taxable income attributable to DBT through June 30, 1995;
however, as disclosed in the Statement of Changes in Stockholders' Equity, S
corporation distributions were made to the shareholders to assist them in making
the corporate tax payments.
    
 
   
     The pro forma amounts presented on the accompanying statements of income
reflect the amount of income taxes, and the resulting income after taxes, as if
DBT had not made the election to be taxed as an S corporation. The pro forma
computation of taxes for 1995 excludes the loss on the IRB transaction as the
deferred tax asset arising from this loss has been fully allowanced.

     The following pro forma information assumes the issuance of 5,091,530
Holdco Common Shares in exchange for all of the outstanding common stock of DBT.
Although Holdco is the surviving corporation, for accounting purposes the
transaction is being treated as a purchase business acquisition of Patlex by DBT
(a reverse acquisition) and a recapitalization of DBT. The following pro forma
condensed financial statements and accompanying notes to pro forma condensed
financial statements present pro forma information with respect to this
transaction.
   
     The Merger is assumed to be consummated as of June 30, 1996, for purposes
of the pro forma condensed balance sheet and the pro forma condensed statements
of income. The pro forma condensed financial statements are presented for
illustrative purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of the operating
results or financial position that would have occurred if the Merger had been
consummated as of the dates indicated, nor are they necessarily indicative of
future operating results or financial position.
 
     DBT's fiscal year coincides with the calendar year and Patlex's fiscal year
ends on June 30. The pro forma condensed financial statements are derived from
and should be read in conjunction with DBT's historical audited and unaudited
financial statements and Patlex's historical audited and unaudited financial
statements (which, because Patlex's fiscal year ended June 30, have been recast
to conform to DBT's fiscal year ending December 31) included elsewhere in this
Form 8-K.

(a) Adjustment to record elimination of the intangible resulting from the merger
    with AFG, when Patlex recorded the net deferred tax liability resulting from
    the differences between the financial and tax reporting bases of Patlex's
    assets and liabilities. DBT as the acquiror in the Patlex/DBT merger would
    assign value only to intangibles which can be identified and named.
 
(b) Adjustments to record the elimination of Patlex's retained earnings and
    effects of the acquisition:

    Patlex has not completed the determination of the fair values of its net
    assets. However, Patlex believes the final valuation, particularly of its
    Investments in Patents, will not result in material differences.
 
(c) Adjustment to restate DBT's historical stockholder's equity (a
    recapitalization) to reflect the Patlex common shares which will be
    outstanding immediately following the merger.
