                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
    
 
   
P.T. Digicon Mega Pratama:
    
 
   
     We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of P.T. Digicon Mega
Pratama (an 80% owned joint venture of Digicon Inc.) as of July 31, 1995 and
1994, and the related statements of operations, cash flows and changes in
stockholders' deficit for each of the three years in the period ended July 31,
1995 (all expressed in U.S. dollars). 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 auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America. 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, such financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of the Company at July 31, 1995 and 1994, and
the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended July 31, 1995 in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
    
                FOR THE YEARS ENDED JULY 31, 1995, 1994 AND 1993
 
   
1. ORGANIZATION AND OPERATION
    
 
   
     P.T. Digicon Mega Pratama ("the Company") was organized on June 7, 1984 as
a joint venture enterprise under the framework of the Foreign Capital Investment
Law No. 1 of 1967 of the Republic of Indonesia. The Company acquires and
processes seismic data in Indonesia.
    
 
   
     The Company is indirectly owned 80% by Digicon Inc. (including its
consolidated subsidiaries, "Digicon"), a publicly-held Delaware corporation, and
20% by P.T. Mega Pratama Citra ("Citra"), an Indonesian limited liability
company. The board of directors, controlled by Digicon, and the board of
commissioners, controlled by Citra, oversee the business activities of the
Company. Digicon allocates the cost of certain general and administrative
expenses and charges operating expenses to the Company. Accordingly, the
accompanying financial statements of the Company may not necessarily reflect the
results of operations and financial position that would have existed had the
Company operated as an unaffiliated enterprise. (See Note 5).
    
 
   
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
    
 
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 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.
 
   
TRANSLATION OF FOREIGN CURRENCIES
    
 
   
     The Company has determined that the U.S. dollar is its functional currency.
Property and equipment (and related depreciation) is translated into U.S.
dollars at the exchange rates in effect at the time of its acquisition. Other
assets and liabilities are translated at year-end rates. Operating results
(other than depreciation) are translated at the average rates of exchange
prevailing during the year. Remeasurement gains and losses are included in the
determination of net income and are reflected as part of other costs and
expenses. (See Note 10.)
    
 
REVENUES
 
     Revenues from data acquisition and data processing services are recorded as
revenues based on contractual rates set forth in the related contract if the
contract provides a separate rate for each segment. If the contract only
provides a rate for the overall service, revenue is recognized based on the
percentage of the work effort completed compared with the total work effort
involved in the contract.
 
   
DEPRECIATION
    
 
   
     Provision for depreciation and amortization is computed using the
straight-line method based on estimated useful lives as follows:

     Expenditures for routine repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as
incurred; expenditures for additions and improvements are capitalized and
depreciated over the estimated remaining life of the related asset. The net gain
or loss on items of property and equipment retired or disposed of is included as
part of other costs and expenses. (See Note 10.)
    
 
   
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
    
 
   
     Included in accounts receivable at July 31, 1995 and 1994 are unbilled
amounts of approximately $123,000 and $232,000, respectively. Such amounts are
either not billable to the customer at July 31 in accordance with the provisions
of the contract and generally will be billed in one to four months or are
currently billable and will be invoiced in the next monthly statement cycle.
    
 
   
PROPRIETARY SEISMIC DATA
    
 
     The Company collects and processes certain seismic data for its own account
to which it retains all ownership rights and which it resells to clients on a
non-transferable, non-exclusive basis. The Company may obtain precommitted sales
contracts to help fund the cash requirements of these surveys which generally
last from 5 to 7 months. The Company capitalizes the unfunded portion using an
estimated sales method. Under that method the amount capitalized equals actual
costs incurred less costs attributed to the precommitted sales contracts based
on the percentage of total estimated costs to total estimated sales multiplied
by actual sales. The cost of proprietary seismic data is charged to operations
in the period sales occur based on the percentage of total estimated costs to
total estimated sales multiplied by actual sales. The Company periodically
reviews the carrying value of proprietary seismic data to assess whether there
has been a permanent impairment of value and records losses in periods the total
estimated costs exceeds total estimated sales or in periods that it is
determined that sales would not be sufficient to cover the carrying value of the
asset. In general, costs are expected to be recovered from sales over a period
of less than 5 years.
 
INCOME TAXES
 
   
     In February 1992, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 ("SFAS 109"), "Accounting
for Income Taxes", which requires the use of the "liability method" in place of
the previously required "deferred method". Under the liability method, deferred
income taxes reflect the net tax effects of (a) temporary differences between
the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes
and the amounts used for income tax purposes, and (b) operating loss and tax
credit carryforwards. SFAS 109 allows recognition of all or a portion of
benefits from the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards as deferred
tax assets if realization is "more likely than not". In periods of changing
income tax rates, the liability method will cause fluctuations in net income of
companies with deferred taxes. The Company adopted SFAS 109 effective August 1,
1993. The adoption of this standard did not result in a cumulative effect
adjustment to equity or income for the year ended July 31, 1994. Recognition is
given in the accompanying balance sheets to the future income tax benefits of
loss carryforwards only to the extent that they can be used to offset existing
deferred taxes.
    
 
   
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS NOT YET ADOPTED
    
 
   
     In March 1995, the FASB issued SFAS No. 121 "Accounting for Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of." This statement
establishes accounting standards for the impairment of long-lived assets,
certain identifiable intangibles, and goodwill related to those assets to be
held and used and for long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles to
be disposed of. This statement is effective for financial statements with fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 1995. The Company will be required to
implement this statement for the fiscal year 1997. Implementation of this
pronouncement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's
financial statements.

3. WRITE-OFF OF ASSETS AND RESTRUCTURING CHARGES
    
 
   
     In response to continuing operating losses which adversely impacted the
Company's liquidity, in April 1994 management made a decision to restructure its
operations and revalue certain assets and, accordingly, incurred $1,339,000 in
total expenses relating to such decision. Included in the $1,339,000 is $948,000
for the write-off for the impairment of data processing equipment and software
($858,000) and proprietary seismic data ($90,000) to their net realizable value.
The remaining costs are restructuring charges of $391,000 which relate to
severance costs for a reduction in the Company's workforce of 40 employees.
Employees to be terminated are from the seismic data processing operation. As of
July 31, 1995, all employees contemplated in the restructuring charge have been
terminated and all related severance costs have been paid.
    
 
   
4. ABANDONMENT OF SEISMIC DATA PROCESSING OPERATIONS
    
 
   
     As a result of continuing operating losses subsequent to the restructuring
(see Note 3) and continued decline in the demand for seismic data processing
services in the Indonesian marketplace, during July 1995 management committed
the Company to an abandonment of the Company's seismic data processing
operations. In order to meet existing customer commitments and to provide for
the orderly shutdown of the operation, the abandonment is expected to be
completed by February 1997 which coincides with the expiration of the lease
agreement for the Company's data processing facility. At that time the office
will be vacated, all remaining data processing employees will be terminated and
data processing and related equipment and software will be scrapped. Digicon
will continue to provide financial support to the Company so that the Company
can continue as a financially viable entity. Because the abandonment did not
contemplate consummation within one year, the loss on abandonment has been
estimated in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Bulletin
No. 30 "Reporting the Results of Operations -- Reporting the Effects of Disposal
of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently
Occurring Events and Transactions" but has been reported as a separate component
of continuing operations in the statement of operations.
    
 
   
     In connection with the abandonment, provision has been made for employee
severance ($450,000), office restoration as required by the lease agreement
($130,000), estimated losses from operations until the date of abandonment
($55,000) and impairment of fixed assets ($1,162,000). Approximately $770,000 of
the impairment relates to software sold by Digicon to the Company for which
there was intercompany profit. Accordingly, impairment of $770,000 by the
Company is eliminated by Digicon in the recognition of Digicon's equity in the
loss of the Company.
    
 
   
     During the years ended July 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, the seismic data
processing operations generated revenues of $878,000, $1,941,000 and $1,752,000,
respectively.

     The Company has a 2 billion Indonesian rupiah floating rate loan with a
commercial bank due September 15, 1995. Interest on the loan is payable monthly.
At July 31, 1995, the interest rate was 19.5%. The loan was collateralized by
all of the Company's accounts receivable and inventories and was guaranteed by
Digicon. All amounts due under the loan were repaid during September 1995.
    
 
   
8. OTHER ACCRUED LIABILITIES
    
 
   
     Other accrued liabilities consist primarily of payroll tax withholdings.

     At July 31, 1995 the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of
approximately $3,600,000 which expire in the years 1998 through 1999.
    
 
   
     The provision for (benefit from) income taxes differs from the amount
computed by applying the statutory income tax rate of 35% for each of the three
years ended July 31, 1995 because no benefit has been recognized for the
operating loss carryforwards and in 1995, the Company was assessed $359,000 of
additional income taxes for its 1992 tax year.
    
 
   
     Deferred income taxes and benefits are provided for differences between the
financial statement carrying amount of existing assets and liabilities and their
respective tax basis. Significant deferred tax assets included net operating
loss carryforwards and significant deferred tax liabilities included the book
and tax basis differences of property and equipment. No financial statement
recognition has been given to the net deferred tax asset at July 31, 1995 or
1994.

     Certain of the Company's employees are eligible to participate in the
Digicon 401(k) plan. Such employees are permitted to make contributions of up to
10% of their salary to a maximum of $9,240 per year. Generally, Digicon will
contribute an amount equal to one-half of the employees contribution up to
$6,000 or 6% of the employee's salary (whichever is less); however if Digicon's
consolidated pre-tax income for any fiscal year is less than the amount required
to be contributed, Digicon may elect to reduce its contribution, but in no event
may Digicon reduce the total contribution to less then 25% of the employee
contribution. Employer matching contributions charged to the Company during the
years ended July 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993 were approximately $17,000, $23,000 and
$18,000, respectively.
