REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS



To the Board of Directors and Stockholder of
Dataserv, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Dataserv, Inc.,
a wholly owned subsidiary of BBS Holdings, Inc., as of December 31, 1995 and
1994, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholder's
equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are
the responsibility of the Company'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 audits 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 consolidated financial position of Dataserv, Inc. as
of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the consolidated results of its operations
and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

     Dataserv, Inc. (the Company) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of BBS Holdings,
     Inc. (the Parent), which is ultimately a subsidiary of BellSouth
     Corporation (BellSouth). The Company's primary business is the maintenance
     and repair of computer equipment and systems throughout the United States.



2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

     PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION:

     The consolidated financial statements of Dataserv, Inc. include the
     accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. Significant
     intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

     USE OF ESTIMATES IN THE PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS:

     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.

     Inventories and repairable maintenance parts are subject to technological
     life cycle changes which could impact inventory prices and/or the estimated
     useful life of repairable maintenance parts. Provisions are applied against
     inventories and repairable maintenance parts to reduce the recorded amount
     of excess or obsolete items to their net realizable value.

     INVENTORIES:

     Inventories consist of replacement parts used in the maintenance and repair
     of computer equipment or systems and are stated at the lower of cost
     (average cost method) or net realizable value.

     PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT:

     Property and equipment is recorded at cost. Depreciation and amortization
     is computed on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives as
     follows:

(dollars in thousands)


2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED:

     PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT, CONTINUED:

     Expenses for refurbishing repairable parts used in the maintenance business
     are charged to operations as incurred. Upon the sale or retirement of
     property and equipment, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are
     eliminated from the respective accounts and the resulting gain or loss is
     included in current operations.

     DEFERRED SOFTWARE COSTS:

     In accordance with accounting policies established by BellSouth, the
     Company defers certain costs associated with externally developed or
     purchased software. Upon completion and final implementation of such
     software, such amounts are expensed immediately. Amounts deferred during
     the development and/or implementation phases are as part of other current
     assets.

     As of December 31, 1995, the Company had approximately $1,200 of such costs
     included in other current assets which will be expensed in 1996.

     INCOME TAXES:

     For Federal income tax purposes, the results of the Company's operations
     are included in BellSouth Corporation's consolidated tax return. In
     accordance with the BellSouth Consolidated Federal Income Tax Allocation
     Policy, the Company is generally allocated Federal income tax or benefit to
     the extent it contributes taxable income or loss to the consolidated group.
     Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) is computed and recognized on a separate
     company basis and may consequently reduce the amount of tax benefit or
     increase income taxes payable. The Company files separate state tax returns
     in the jurisdictions in which it conducts business. Income taxes paid as
     disclosed on the statement of cash flows reflects amounts that were paid in
     accordance with the Company's tax-sharing agreement.



3.   DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS:

     In December 1993, the Company's parent adopted a plan to dispose of its
     Retail Application Division (RAD). In July 1995, the Company reached final
     agreements to sell this division in two separate pieces to two different
     parties. Terms of these agreements called for the Company to receive in
     1995 and 1996, $3,700 in cash. In addition, during 1995, the Company
     incurred and paid approximately $2,100 of transaction related costs.

3.   DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS, CONTINUED:

     At December 31, 1995, the Company has recorded as part of other current
     assets a receivable of $500 related to a payment received in January 1996.
     Remaining payments of $1,061 due in 1996 will be recognized by the Company
     upon receipt. In addition, under the terms of one of the agreements the
     Company has the right to receive royalty payments in connection with the
     purchaser attaining certain revenue levels over a period of three years
     from the agreement date. No such royalties were recognized in 1995. All
     other amounts related to discontinued operations have been reflected in the
     adjustment related to the disposal of RAD as presented on the Company's
     consolidated statement of operations.

4.   RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS, CONTINUED:

     Refundable income taxes of $1,338 and $395 as of December 31, 1995 and
     1994, respectively, are included in amounts due to parent in accordance
     with the Company's tax-sharing agreement.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses of $1,526 and $1,493 in 1995
     and 1994, respectively, have been recognized by the Company in connection
     with services performed by various BellSouth Subsidiaries.



5.   INCOME TAXES:

     The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the provisions of
     Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 (SFAS 109), "Accounting
     for Income Taxes." The Statement requires that deferred income taxes
     reflect the tax consequences on future years of differences between the tax
     bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts. In
     addition, this accounting standard requires the recognition of future tax
     benefits, such as net operating loss carryforwards, to the extent that
     realization of such benefits is more likely than not.

     The components of income tax expense from continuing operations are as
     follows:

6.   BENEFIT PLAN:

     The Company has a defined contribution savings plan for its employees who
     have completed a qualified period of employment. The plan provides for
     participant and employer matching contributions. The plan was amended
     October 1, 1995 and the plan assets were transferred to a new plan trustee.
     Under the amended plan, the Company will match 50% of participant
     contributions up to a maximum amount of $1. The Company may also make
     discretionary contributions as determined by senior management. The cost of
     the plan to the Company related to matching and discretionary contributions
     approximated $733 and $311 for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994,
     respectively.

7.   COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES:

     The Company is party to various claims, legal actions and complaints
     arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management,
     all such matters are without merit or are adequately covered by insurance,
     or if not so covered, are of such kind or involve such amounts that
     unfavorable disposition would not have a material effect on the results of
     operations or financial position of the Company.

     The Company's headquarters, certain warehouse and ancillary office space,
     and certain equipment, are currently rented under lease agreements which
     are classified as operating leases for financial statement purposes. These
     leases expire at various times through the year 2000. The following is a
     schedule of future minimum rental payments required under leases that have
     an initial or remaining noncancellable term of over one year at December
     31, 1995:

     Rent expense related to continuing operations was $1,606 and $1,498 for the
     years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

     As further discussed in Note 10, the Company, in 1996, intends to enter
     into a sale/leaseback transaction on its existing facility in Chanhassen,
     MN. In connection with this transaction the Company will not renew its
     existing operating lease on its corporate headquarters when such lease
     expires in July 1996.



8.   MAJOR CUSTOMERS AND CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK:

     Gross sales to customers exceeding 10% of total sales for the years ended
     December 31, 1995 and 1994 were as follows:

8.   MAJOR CUSTOMERS AND CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK, CONTINUED:

     Financial instruments which subject the Company to concentrations of credit
     risk consist principally of trade accounts receivable. Accounts receivable
     are primarily from retail and insurance industry customers located
     throughout the United States. Payment of these receivables is in part
     dependent upon the economic conditions affecting the retail and insurance
     industries. The Company evaluates each customer's credit worthiness on a
     case-by-case basis. The Company requires no collateral from its customers.
     Certain maintenance contracts, however, are maintained on a prepaid basis.

     December 31:

10.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS:

     In December 1995, BellSouth signed a letter of intent with an unrelated
     party to sell all of the assets of the Company. Terms of the agreement have
     not yet been finalized.

     As part of the above transaction, the Company also intends to enter into a
     sale/leaseback arrangement with another unrelated party. The Company will
     sell its land and building located in Chanhassen, MN and subsequently lease
     these premises back from that party under a long-term lease agreement. This
     transaction is anticipated to be finalized concurrently with the
     transaction discussed above.

           NOTES TO PRO FORMA COMBINED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)


(1)  On May 3, 1996 ("Closing Date") Wang Laboratories, Inc. (the "Company")
completed the acquisition pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement among the
Company, Dataserv Inc. and Dataserv Computer Maintenance, Inc. ("Dataserv")
dated as of April 9, 1996 of all the outstanding shares of Dataserv. In
consideration for the shares of Dataserv the Company paid $28.5 million in
cash, subject to completion of an audit of the initial closing statement, as    
defined in the Stock Purchase Agreement. Dataserv provides customers with
computer maintenance and support services for industry-standard servers,
desktop products, point-of-sale retail scanners and registers, as well as
application helpdesk and network integration services. The Pro Forma Combined
Condensed Balance Sheet has been prepared based on the Company's and Dataserv's
respective December 31, 1995 audited consolidated balance sheets. The Company
has a fiscal year end of June 30 while Dataserv has a fiscal year end of
December 31. Therefore, the pro forma statement of operations for the six
months ended December 31, 1995, includes the Company's historical results for
the six months ended December 31, 1995, and the Dataserv results for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 1995 less the results for the six months ended June 30,
1995. The pro forma statement of operations for the year ended June 30, 1995
includes the Company's historical results for the year ended June 30, 1995 and
the Dataserv results for the six months ended December 31, 1994 and for the six
months ended June 30, 1995.

(2)  To adjust the historical balance sheet of Dataserv to equal the assets
     acquired and the liabilities assumed. The following purchase price and
     purchase accounting adjustments were made to the historical balance sheet:

     -    Pro forma consideration of $28.5 million in cash paid for Dataserv.
          The determination of the final purchase price is dependent on the net
          working capital of Dataserv at the Closing Date, which may be affected
          by post-closing adjustments.

     -    Reclassification of inventories to depreciable assets of $10.1 million
          to conform with the Company's financial statement classifications.
