DBT ONLINE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

         The following should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated
Financial Statements and the Notes thereto, which are included in the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996.

NOTE 1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts
of DBT Online, Inc. (the "Company") and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Database
Technologies, Inc., a Florida corporation ("DBT") and Patlex Corporation (since
August 20,1996, date of merger), a Pennsylvania corporation ("Patlex"). The
interim consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 1997 and for the six
months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 are unaudited. All significant intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The accompanying consolidated
financial statements reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of
management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results
of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. Such adjustments
consist solely of normal recurring accruals. Results for the interim periods are
not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.

NOTE 2.  PRO FORMA INFORMATION

         On August 20, 1996, the former shareholders of Patlex approved a plan
of reorganization pursuant to which the Company was reorganized into a holding
company structure and each share of Patlex was converted into a share of the
Company. Also on August 20, 1996, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company
merged with DBT. Pursuant to the terms of the merger and reorganization, the
former shareholders of Patlex received approximately 33.2% of the Company and
the former owners of DBT received 66.8% of the Company, based on the shares and
options outstanding at August 20, 1996. For accounting purposes, the transaction
was treated as a purchase of Patlex with DBT as the accounting acquirer.

         If the merger and reorganization had been completed on January 1, 1996,
pro forma results for the six months ended June 30, 1996 would be as follows
(the pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of the combined results
of operations that would have occurred had the merger and reorganization been
completed as of January 1, 1996):

             Revenues                              $ 11,454,000
             Net Income                            $  1,241,000
             Net Income Per Common Share           $       0.16



                                                                          Page 7

ITEM 2:  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
         OF OPERATIONS

         The following should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated
Financial Statements of the Company and the Notes thereto. This information
contains certain statements regarding future trends, the accuracy of which is
subject to many risks and uncertainties. Such trends, and their anticipated
impact upon the Company, could differ materially from those presented in this
Form 10-Q.

OVERVIEW OF THE COMPANY AND 1996 REORGANIZATION

         The Company is a holding company with two wholly-owned operating
subsidiaries, DBT and Patlex, which are respectively engaged in the provision of
on-line integrated database services and the patent exploitation and enforcement
business. The Company was reorganized into its current structure on August 20,
1996.

         On August 20, 1996, the shareholders of Patlex approved a Plan of
Reorganization pursuant to which the Company was reorganized into a holding
company and Patlex became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Also on
August 20, 1996, another wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company merged with and
into DBT and DBT became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the "Merger").
The Company is the successor registrant to Patlex.

         For accounting purposes the Merger was treated as a purchase business
acquisition of Patlex by DBT (a reverse acquisition) and a recapitalization of
DBT. Assets and liabilities of Patlex acquired in the Merger were recorded at
their fair value as of August 20, 1996.

REVENUES

         The Company's revenues increased 133% to $8,836,600 for the three
months ended June 30, 1997 from $3,789,000 for the same period in 1996. DBT
contributed $7,019,100 to the Company's revenues and Patlex contributed
$1,817,500 to the Company's revenues. The increase in DBT's revenues was
attributable to an increase in the number of active customers and the number of
minutes users spent on line. DBT's active customers (defined as customers
accessing the system in a given month) increased 88% to 9,000 at June 30, 1997
from 4,800 at June 30, 1996. Total system usage was 4.8 million minutes for the
three months ended June 30, 1997, up from 2.6 million minutes for the same
period in 1996, an increase of 85%. Revenues from on-line charges were
$6,333,200 and $3,562,100 for the three months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996,
respectively, an increase of 78%.

         The Company's revenues increased 130% to $16,435,600 for the six months
ended June 30, 1997 from $7,138,800 for the same period in 1996. DBT contributed
$13,100,600 to the Company's revenues and Patlex contributed $3,335,000 to the
Company's revenues. Total system usage was 9.2 million minutes for the six
months ended June 30, 1997, up from 4.9 million minutes for the same period in
1996, an increase of 88%. Revenues from on-line charges were $12,171,300 and
$6,714,600 for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively, an
increase of 81%.

COST OF REVENUES

         The Company's cost of revenues increased 83% to $3,401,500 for the
three months ended June 30, 1997 from $1,862,300 for the same period in 1996. As
a percentage of total revenues, cost of revenues decreased to 38.5% for the
three months ended June 30, 1997 from 49.2% for the same period in 1996. For the
three months ended June 30, 1997, Patlex's cost of revenues, which consisted
solely of the amortization of its patents, was $423,800. In addition to the
consolidation of Patlex, the increase in the Company's cost of revenues was due
primarily to increases in both purchased data costs and depreciation expense as
DBT continued to invest both in its computer facilities and in the expansion of
its databases. The Company expects this trend to continue.

         The Company's cost of revenues increased 95% to $6,672,200 for the six
months ended June 30, 1997 from $3,414,800 for the same period in 1996. As a
percentage of total revenues, cost of revenues decreased to 40.6% for the six
months ended June 30, 1997 from 47.8% for the same period in 1996. For the six
months ended June 30, 1997, Patlex's cost of revenues, which consisted solely of
the amortization of its patents, was $847,600. In addition 


                                                                          Page 8
<PAGE>   9

to the consolidation of Patlex, the increase in the Company's cost of revenues
was due primarily to increases in both purchased data costs and depreciation
expense as DBT continued to invest both in its computer facilities and in the
expansion of its databases. The Company expects this trend to continue.

SELLING AND PROMOTION EXPENSES

         DBT's selling and promotion expenses increased 44% to $704,300 for the
three months ended June 30, 1997 from $489,600 for the same period in 1996. The
increase was primarily due to increases in payroll and trade show expenses. As a
percentage of total revenues, selling and promotion decreased to 8% for the
three months ended June 30, 1997 from 12.9%, for the same period in 1996.

         DBT's selling and promotion expenses increased 61% to $1,297,300 for

in 1996.

percentage of total revenues, research and development expenses were 7% for the
six months ended June 30, 1997, a decrease from 13.8% for the same period in
1996.

         DBT's general and administrative expenses increased 92% to $1,631,500
for the three months ended June 30, 1997 from $851,900 for the same period in
1996. This increase was due to increases in payroll and related expenses.

ended June 30, 1997 compared to 29.2% for the same period in 1996.

$4,117,800 (including cash and cash equivalents of $6,965,600) at December 31,
1996. The increase in working capital at June 30, 1997 is principally due to
receipt by the Company of $46.9 million from its issuance of 1,345,000 shares of
Common Stock in May, 1997. The Company expects to fund future working capital
requirements from its existing cash balances and cash generated from operations.

foreseeable future.

Standards No. 128 ("SFAS No. 128), Earnings Per Share, in the fourth quarter of
