NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 1995
NOTE A - ORGANIZATION
The Corporation was formed on January 20, 1994 in the state of Florida,
primarily to develop, manufacture, and sell "Information Retrieval Libraries;"
however, the business is not restricted to those activities. The Corporation
began developing their product in 1994, and business transactions began in
September 1994.
NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
These financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting.
FURNITURE AND EQUIPMENT
Furniture and Equipment are recorded at cost. Maintenance, repairs, and minor
replacements are charged against income as incurred; major replacements and
betterments are capitalized. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line
method over the estimated useful life of each asset, which is seven years for
furniture and fixture and five years for equipment.
INCOME TAXES
The Corporation has a net operating loss. Therefore, no income taxes are
reflected in the financial statements.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
For purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents are
comprised of unrestricted deposits in banks.
NOTE C - USE OF ESTIMATES IN 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 expense during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

</TABLE>
NOTE E - RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Research and development expenditures consist of all costs of collecting and
computerizing the two libraries, (Low Income and Conventional Multi-Family
Compliance Systems and Employer's Complete Human Resource Legal Reference
System) and primary costs of labor and research costs. Research and
development expenditures are expensed in the financial statements. The Company
has elected to amortize research and development costs over a 60-month period
for income tax purposes.
NOTE F - SUBSEQUENT EVENT
An agreement was entered on June 15, 1995, effective June 1, 1995, between
Text Retrieval Systems, Inc. and Electronic Reference Systems, Inc. ("ERS").
Under the original contract, Text Retrieval would maintain its rights to the
software concepts it developed, and ERS would control the means in which the
product was sold, marketed, and distributed. The original contract has various
other provisions such as contributions to be used in marketing the TRS
product, repayment of advances, and other items.
In January 1996, TRS purchased 100% of the stock of ERS, therefore, altering
the above-described contract.
In October 1995, an agreement with Dixie National Corporation was made for a
$750,000 line of credit. TRS gave 35% of its outstanding shares of stock for
this line of credit. As part of this agreement, Dixie National Corporation had
an option to purchase all outstanding shares of TRS stock by June 1997. In
April 1996, Dixie National Corporation exercised this option.
NOTE G - ADVERTISING
The Corporation incurred advertising costs of $-0- in 1995. Advertising costs
are expensed as incurred.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PROFORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1.
The unaudited proforma consolidated financial statements give effect to the
acquisition by Dixie National Corporation of Text Retrieval Systems, Inc. in a
transaction to be accounted for as a purchase. The unaudited proforma balance
sheet is based on the individual balance sheets of Dixie National Corporation
and Text Retrieval Systems, Inc. and have been prepared to reflect the
acquisition by Dixie National Corporation of Text Retrieval Systems, Inc. as
of December 31, 1995 and as of March 31, 1996. The unaudited proforma
statements of operations are based on the individual statements of income of
Dixie National Corporation and Text Retrieval Systems, Inc. and combines the
results of operations of Dixie National Corporation and Text Retrieval
Systems, Inc. for the year ended December 31, 1995 and the three months ended
March 31, 1996 as if the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 1995. These
unaudited proforma financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
historical financial statements and notes thereto of Dixie National
Corporation and Text Retrieval Systems, Inc. included elsewhere in this
filing.
These unaudited proforma consolidated financial statements for the periods
ended December 31, 1995 and March 31, 1996 have been prepared by the
Corporation's Management based on the historical audited financial statements
of Dixie National Corporation for the year ended December 31, 1995 and the
unaudited Dixie National Corporation financial statements for the three months
ended March 31, 1996. Since Text Retrieval Systems, Inc. has a fiscal year
ending on June 30, 1995 for which audited financial statements are included,
it was necessary to combine the Text Retrieval Systems, Inc. financial
statements for the period January 1, 1995 to June 30, 1995 with the unaudited
financial statements of Text Retrieval Systems, Inc. for the period July 1,
1995 to December 31, 1995 to prepare an unaudited financial statement which
has been combined with the above-referenced audited financial statements of
Dixie National Corporation to prepare the unaudited proforma financial
statements of the Corporation at December 31, 1995. The unaudited financial
statements for the three months ended March 31, 1996 of Dixie National
Corporation and Text Retrieval Systems, Inc. have been combined to present the
proforma consolidated financial statements for Dixie National Corporation and
Subsidiaries at March 31, 1996. These Proforma Financial Statements may not be
indications of the results that actually would have occurred if the purchase
had been in effect on the date indicated or which may be obtained in the
future. The proforma consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes incorporated by
reference or contained elsewhere herein.

NOTE 2 - ACQUISITION OF TEXT RETRIEVAL SYSTEMS, INC.
On April 2, 1996 Dixie National Corporation exercised its option and completed
the 100% acquisition of Text Retrieval Systems, Inc., a privately-held
corporation based in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida. In October 1995 the
Corporation acquired the option with a 35% initial ownership interest in Text
Retrieval Systems, Inc. Under the terms of the Text Retrieval Systems, Inc.
agreement, the Corporation issued 100,000 shares of its common stock to the
prior owners and granted Text Retrieval Systems, Inc. a $750,000 line of
credit for working capital purposes. To complete the acquisition of Text
Retrieval Systems, Inc., the Corporation issued 2,500,000 additional shares of
its common stock and converted all outstanding debt to equity. The 2,500,000
additional shares of its common stock having a $1 per share par value had a
market value of $.7965 per share at the date of acquisition. This resulted in
recording a discount on Dixie National Corporation common stock of $508,750.
The final purchase price to be paid for Text Retrieval Systems, Inc. and
numbers of shares to be issued will be determined based upon certain
performance criteria to be measured for the twelve months ending June 30,
1997.
NOTE 3. - GOODWILL
The acquisition of Text Retrieval Systems, Inc. by Dixie National Corporation
results in recognition of $3,050,824 of goodwill. For financial statements
purposes, this goodwill will be amortized over a sixty-month period. The
proforma consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31,
1995 include amortization of $610,165 while March 31, 1996 Proformas record
amortization of $152,541.
