INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Board of Directors of DAS Devices, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of DAS Devices, Inc. (the
Company) as of December 31, 1997 and the related statement of operations,
stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the year 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 audit.

We conducted our audit 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 audit provides 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 December 31, 1997, and the
results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

DAS DEVICES, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997                                
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

      Organization - DAS Devices, Inc. (the Company) was incorporated in
      Delaware in February 1994. The Company designs, manufactures and markets
      magnetic recording heads as head gimble assemblies for the disk drive
      industry. The Company markets its products through its direct sales force
      which is focused on organizations located in North America and the Far
      East.

      During fiscal 1997, the Company completed its initial product development
      activities and began fulfilling customer orders. Accordingly, management
      believes the Company has exited the development stage for financial
      reporting purposes as of December 31, 1997.

      Financial Statement 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, liabilities and expenses during the reporting period.
      Such estimates include the depreciable life of property and equipment and
      a valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets. Actual results
      could differ materially from those estimates.

      Cash Equivalents - The Company considers all highly liquid debt
      instruments purchased with a remaining maturity of three months or less to
      be cash equivalents. The recorded carrying amount of cash equivalents
      approximates fair market value.

      Short-Term Investments - Short-term investments consist of short-term
      investments acquired with maturities exceeding three months and are
      classified as "available-for-sale"securities. The investments are reported
      at fair value with no unrealized gains or losses as of December 31, 1997.
      Realized gains or losses on sales of investments are computed on a
      specific identification basis and were not significant in fiscal 1997.

      Inventories - Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in,
      first-out) or market and are comprised primarily of raw materials.

      Restricted Cash Investment - Under the terms of the Company's facility
      operating lease, the Company is required to maintain a restricted deposit
      with a financial institution to be used as collateral against future
      minimum lease obligations (see Note 4).

      Property and Equipment - Property and equipment, including leasehold
      improvements, are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization are
      computed using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated
      useful lives, generally three to six years, or the lease term, as
      appropriate.

      Revenue Recognition - Revenue from product sales to customers is
      recognized at the time of shipment.

                                       6

                                  Page 8 of 36
<PAGE>
      Stock-Based Compensation - The Company accounts for stock-based awards to
      employees using the intrinsic value method in accordance with Accounting
      Principles Board Opinion (APB) No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to
      Employees" and, accordingly, does not generally recognize compensation
      cost in connection with its 1997 Stock Option Plan.

      Income Taxes - Income taxes are provided under the provisions of Statement
      of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 109, "Accounting for Income
      Taxes" which requires an asset and liability approach for financial
      reporting of income taxes.

      Research and Development - Research and development costs are expensed
      when incurred.

      Certain Significant Risks and Uncertainties - Financial instruments which
      potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist
      primarily of cash, cash equivalents, short-term cash investments, trade
      receivables and restricted cash investment. The cash, cash equivalents and
      restricted cash investment consist of checking and money market accounts
      and a certificate of deposit with one financial institution. The Company
      invests in a variety of financial instruments with an investment credit
      rating of A and better. By policy, the Company places its investments only
      with a high-credit-quality financial institution and, other than U.S.
      Government Treasury instruments, limits the amount of credit exposure with
      any one financial instrument or commercial issuer.

      The Company intends to rely on certain off-shore subcontractors for a
      substantial portion of its backend manufacturing operations. Although
      management believes other contractors could provide comparable services on
      similar terms, it believes changes in subcontractors could adversely
      effect the Company's business plan.

      The Company operates in a dynamic industry and, accordingly, can be
      affected by a variety of factors. For example, management believes that
      changes in any of the following areas could have a negative effect on the
      Company in terms of its future financial position, results of operations
      and cash flows: ability to obtain additional financing; regulatory
      changes; fundamental changes in the technology underlying semiconductor
      products; market acceptance of the Company's products under development;
      development of sales channels; litigation or other intellectual property
      claims against the Company; the hiring, training and retention of key
      employees; successful and timely completion of product development
      efforts; and new product introductions by competitors.

                                                                   $  1,551,304
                                                                   ============

      At December 31, 1997, machinery and equipment with an aggregate cost and
      net book value of $659,515 were leased under capital lease obligations
      (see Note 4).

4.    FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS AND COMMITMENTS

      Revolving Line - The Company has available a $750,000 revolving line of
      credit facility which bears interest at prime (8.5% at December 31, 1997)
      plus 0.5% per annum and is collateralized by the Company's assets. The
      credit facility expires in October 1998. At December 31, 1997, the Company
      had no outstanding borrowings against the credit facility. In connection
      with the credit facility, the Company issued warrants ("Revolving Line
      Warrant") to purchase the Company's common stock (see Note 6). The value
      of warrants issued was not material.

      Capital Lease Line - In December 1997, the Company entered into a
      $2,000,000 equipment lease line available to finance equipment purchases.
      As of December 31, 1997, no amounts were due under this facility. Under
      the terms of the equipment line, the Company issued warrants ("Capital
      Lease Line Warrant 1") to acquire shares of Series D convertible preferred
      stock (see Note 6). The aggregate value of warrants issued of
      approximately $80,000 is classified as a prepaid expense at December 31,
      1997 and will be amortized to interest expense ratably over the term of
      the lease, generally four years. In March 1998, the Company was advanced
      approximately $1,786,000 to be repaid over four years under this facility
      of which approximately $666,000 was used to refinance assets included in
      property and equipment at December 31, 1997.

      Also in December 1997, the Company entered into another equipment lease
      line which provides $2,000,000 to finance machinery and equipment
      purchases. As of December 31, 1997, no amounts were outstanding under the
      facility. In connection with the lease financing, the Company issued
      warrants in February 1998 ("Capital Lease Line Warrant 2") to purchase
      shares of common stock (see Note 6). The value of warrants issued was not
      material. In February 1998, the Company was advanced approximately
      $419,000 to be repaid over four years under this facility of which
      approximately $268,000 was used to refinance assets included in property
      and equipment at December 31, 1997.

      Capital Lease Obligation - The Company has entered into a noncancelable
      equipment capital lease obligation which expires in December 2001. At the
      end of the lease term, the Company is obligated to purchase the equipment
      at $65,952. In connection with the agreement, the Company issued the
      lessor warrants ("Capital Lease Warrant") to purchase the Company's common
      stock (see Note 6). The value of warrants issued was not material.

      Purchase Commitments - Commitments for equipment and leasehold
      improvements totaled approximately $13,200,000 at December 31, 1997.

      Operating Leases - The Company leases its facilities under a noncancelable
      five-year operating lease agreement which expires on January 31, 2002. The
      Company is responsible for certain maintenance costs, taxes and insurance.
      Under the terms of the facility lease, the Company issued a standby letter
      of credit totaling $500,000, which is collateralized by a one year
      certificate of deposit with a financial institution, and recorded as
      restricted cash investment at December 31, 1997. The letter of credit will
      be reduced by $100,000 per annum.

      The Company leases certain equipment under operating lease agreements
      expiring on various dates through 2001. In connection with certain of the
      lease agreements, the Company issued warrants ("Equipment Lease Warrant")
      to the lessor to purchase Series B and Series D convertible preferred
      stock (see Note 6). The aggregate value of warrants issued is
      approximately $188,600, of which $23,200 has been amortized to interest

5.    LONG-TERM OBLIGATIONS

      Long-term obligations include principal payments due under capital lease
      obligations (see Note 4).

      In addition, long-term obligations include installment term notes bearing
      interest at 13.77% per annum and include a terminal payment of 15% of the
      original principal amount payable at maturity in 2001. In connection
      therewith, the Company issued the lender warrants ("Installment Note
      Warrant") to purchase shares of the Company's Series B convertible
      preferred stock (see Note 6). The aggregate value of warrants issued is
      approximately $45,700 of which $6,500 has been amortized to interest
      expense.

      The installment notes agreement requires the Company, among other things,
      to maintain certain financial covenants of which the Company was in
      compliance at December 31, 1997. The notes are collateralized by certain
      machinery and equipment.

      Principal payments due under the installment term notes at December 31,

      Significant terms of the convertible preferred stock are as follows:

      o     The holders of Series B, C and D shall be entitled to annual
            noncumulative dividends, prior to any payments of dividends declared
            on Series A preferred stock or common stock, of $0.02083, $0.040,
            $0.10 per share, respectively. The holders of Series A shall be
            entitled to annual noncumulative dividends, prior to any payments of
            dividends declared on common stock, of $0.06 per share. Holders are
            entitled to such dividends when and if declared by the Board of
            Directors. No dividends were declared in fiscal 1997.

      o     In the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
            Company, the preferred stockholders shall be entitled to receive, on
            a pro rata basis, the liquidation preferences disclosed in the table
            above plus an amount equal to all declared but unpaid dividends.
            Such liquidation preferences will be paid first to holders of Series
            B, C and D and second to Series A. Any remaining assets will be
            distributed ratably among the holders of preferred stock (up to an
            additional 300% of the liquidation preference) and common stock, pro
            rata, based on the number of shares of common stock held by each
            stockholder on an as-converted basis.

      o      All series of preferred stock are nonredeemable.

            share of common stock (subject to adjustment for events of dilution)
            and has the same voting rights as the common stock into which it is
            convertible. Shares will automatically be converted into common
            stock upon the closing of a public offering meeting certain
            criteria. In addition, shares will automatically be converted upon
            written consent of not less than 75% of the outstanding shares of
            preferred stock voting together as a single class.

      Additional Stock Plan Information - As discussed in Note 1, the Company
      continues to account for its stock-based awards to employees using the
      intrinsic value method in accordance with APB No. 25. Accordingly, no
      compensation expense has been recognized in the financial statements for
      employee stock arrangements, which are granted with exercise prices equal
      to fair market value at grant date.

      Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for
      Stock-Based Compensation" (SFAS 123), requires the disclosure of pro forma
      net income or loss had the Company adopted the fair value method as of the
      beginning of January 1, 1997. Under SFAS 123, the fair value of
      stock-based awards to employees is calculated through the use of option
      pricing models, even though such models were developed to estimate the
      fair value of freely tradable, fully transferable options without vesting
      restrictions, which significantly differ from the Company's stock option
      awards. These models also require subjective assumptions, including future
      stock price volatility and expected time to exercise, which greatly affect
      the calculated values. The Company's calculations were made using the
      minimum value model with the following weighted average assumptions:
      expected option life, one year following vesting; risk-free interest rate
      of approximately 6%; and no dividends during the expected term. The
      Company's calculations are based on a multiple option valuation approach,
      and forfeitures are recognized as they occur. If the computed fair values
      of the fiscal 1997 awards had been amortized to expense, pro forma net
      loss would not have been materially different from the reported amount.

      Common Shares Reserved for Issuance - At December 31, 1997, the Company
      had reserved shares of common stock for issuance as follows:

            Conversion of Series A preferred stock                     9,978,013

7.    INCOME TAXES

      Due to the Company's net loss, there was no provision for income taxes for
      the year ended December 31, 1997.

      Net deferred tax assets at December 31, 1997 consisted primarily of
      reserves, accruals and net operating loss and research and development
      credit carryforwards totaling approximately $6,640,000. As a result of the
      Company's history of recent operating losses, management believes that the
      recognition of the deferred tax asset is considered less likely than not.
      Accordingly, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance against the
      full amount of its net deferred tax assets.

                                       14

                                 Page 16 of 36
<PAGE>


      At December 31, 1997, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards to
      offset both future federal and California taxable income totaling
      approximately $4,830,000 and $830,000, respectively. Such federal and
      California carryforwards expire through 2012 and 2002, respectively.

      At December 31, 1997, the Company also had research and development tax
      credit carryforwards of approximately $207,500 and $182,300 available for
      federal and California, respectively. The federal carryforwards expire
      through 2012 and the state tax credit carryforwards have no expiration.

      Current federal and California tax law includes provisions limiting the
      annual use of net operating loss and credit carryforwards in the event of
      certain defined changes in stock ownership. The Company's capitalization
      described herein may have resulted in such a change. Accordingly, the
      annual use of the Company's net operating loss and credit carryforwards
      would be limited according to these provisions. Management has not yet
      determined the extent of such limitation. Such limitation may result in
      the loss of carryforward benefits due to their expiration.

8.    EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN

      The Company sponsors a 401(k) tax-deferred savings plan (the Plan) for all
      employees who meet certain eligibility requirements. Participants may
      contribute, on a pre-tax basis, between 2% and 15% of their annual
      compensation, but not to exceed a maximum contribution amount pursuant to
      Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Company is not required
      to contribute, nor has it contributed, to the Plan for the fiscal year
      ended December 31, 1997.

                             Das Devices, Inc.
                  Notes to Condensed Financial Statements
                                (Unaudited)

1.    Going Concern Basis of Presentation.

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements for the periods ended
September 30, 1998 and 1997 have been prepared on a going concern basis, which
contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in
the normal course of business. As shown in the financial statements, DAS
Devices, Inc. ("Company") incurred net losses of approximately $30 million
during the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and had a negative working
capital of approximately $7 million at that date. In addition, the Company is
not in compliance with certain terms of its borrowing arrangements (Note 7 and
9). These factors among others may indicate that the Company will be unable to
continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the
recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and
classification of liabilities that may be necessary should the Company become a
going concern. The Company's continuation as a going concern is dependent upon
its ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations on a timely
basis, to develop and commercialize its products based on its core technologies,
to obtain additional financing to complete its research and development
activities and fund its future capital acquisitions and ultimately to attain
profitability. No assurances can be given that the Company will be successful in
doing so.

2.    Interim Financial Information.

The unaudited condensed financial statements included herein have been prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for interim statements.
Accordingly, interim statements do not include all the information and
disclosures required for annual financial statements. In the opinion of the
Company's management, all adjustments (consisting solely of adjustments of a
normal recurring nature) necessary for a fair presentation of these interim
financial results have been included. These financial statements and related
notes should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for
the year ended December 31,1997 and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this
Form 8-K/A. The results for the nine-month periods are not indicative of the
results to be expected for the full year or for any other interim period.

3.    New Accounting Pronouncements.

In 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 130 ("SFAS 130"), Reporting Comprehensive
Income, which requires an enterprise to report, by major components and as a
single total, the changes in its net assets during the period from nonowner
sources.

In 1997, the FASB issued SFAS 131, Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise
and Related Information, which establishes annual and interim reporting
standards for a company's operating segments. SFAS 131 is effective for the
Company's fiscal 1998 year.

                                       20

                                 Page 22 of 36
<PAGE>

In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities, which defines derivatives, requires that all derivatives
be carried at fair value, and provides for hedge accounting when certain
conditions are met. This statement is effective for all fiscal quarters of
fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999.

The Company does not believe adoption of these statements will have a material
impact on the Company's financial statements.

4.    Stockholders Equity.

During the nine months ended September 30,1998, the Company issued Series E
convertible preferred stock for cash of approximately $23 million and
subsequently effected a 1.13636 to 1 stock split to the Series E stockholders of
record at June 19,1998. The condensed financial statements for September 30,
1998 have given effect to this stock split.

5.    Stock Options.

During the nine months ended September 30,1998, the Company granted certain
directors and officers options to purchase an aggregate of 7,500,000 shares of
the Company's common stock. The options have an exercise price of $0.01 per
share and are exercisable immediately. Options for 500,000 shares vest 25% on
the first anniversary of grant and thereafter ratably over the three-year period
commencing one year from the date of grant. Such option contains a provision
providing for a vesting of 250,000 additional shares upon a change of control.
Options for the remaining 7,000,000 shares of common stock vest ratably over 24
months and accelerate in full upon a change in control.

6.    Warrants.

In connection with the capital lease and installment note facilities entered
into during the nine months ended September 30, 1998, the Company issued
warrants to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock and 1,026,367 shares of
Series E preferred stock. The fair value of the warrants are amortized to
interest expense ratably over the term of the debt, generally four years.

7.    Line of Credit.

The Company is presently in breach for the repayment of $600,000 drawn under a
line of credit arrangement. Although no events of default have been declared,
Management is actively engaged in discussion with the lenders to convert the
facility into a term loan repayable on the closing of the merger.

8.    Legal Matters.

The Company is involved in various claims and legal actions arising out of the
normal course of business. Management does not expect that the outcome of these
cases will have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results
of operations.

9.    Subsequent Events.

            A.    Merger.

On November 24, 1998, the Company entered into an agreement to merge ("Merger")
with Applied Magnetics Corporation ("AMC") for a consideration of 13,051,872
shares of the common stock of AMC. Completion of the Merger, which is expected
to occur in the first quarter of 1999, is contingent on customary conditions.
Some of the officers, directors and consultants of the Company are entitled to
receive payments of approximately $1,625,000 from the merger consideration under
non-competition agreements entered into with the Company. The Merger also
provides for preferential repayment of the bridge notes from the merger
consideration.

            B.    Option Repricing.

In November 1998, the Company repriced options to purchase approximately
17,750,000 shares of common stock at $0.01 per share. The repriced options will
retain their original vesting terms.

            C.    Bridge Notes.

On November 6, 1998, the Company issued junior secured bridge notes aggregating
$2,100,000 and bearing interest at the rate of 10% per annum. The notes are
payable in 30 days and may be extended up to 90 days with the written consent of
the majority of the noteholders. The Company is in default on repayment of these
promissory notes and is currently negotiating to extend the term of the notes.

On November 25, 1998, the Company issued promissory notes aggregating $7,900,000
and bearing interest at 10% per annum. The notes are payable 150 days from
issuance and subject to acceleration under certain events. In the event of a
change in control of the Company resulting from the Merger, the noteholders are
entitled to a premium of 50% of the principal.

            D.    Installment Notes.

Since November 1998, the Company has not been in compliance with certain
covenants of the $7.6 million installment notes included in long term debt at
September 30,1998.

              UNAUDITED COMBINED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL DATA

The following unaudited combined pro forma financial data reflects the
accounting for the Merger as a purchase, whereby Applied Magnetics Corporation
(AMC) has allocated the purchase price to assets acquired including the
estimated fair market value of in-process technology, which will be expensed
upon consummation of the Merger and liabilities assumed based on their fair
values. The excess of the purchase price plus related transaction costs over the
fair value of tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed
has been allocated to (1) developed technology and know-how, which will be
amortized on a straight line basis over 3 years, the estimated period of future
benefit and (2) goodwill (including a value of $1.6 million associated with
assembled workforce), which will be amortized on a straight line basis over the
estimated period of future benefit of 7 years. DAS Devices, Inc. (DAS) is a
research and development company with only nominal sales. All of the assets and
liabilities of DAS, including in-process technology have been appraised by an
independent third party appraiser.

The following summarizes the purchase price and the preliminary allocation of
such price (in millions):

Value of AMC's common shares to be issued in the Merger         $  90.5
Merger related costs                                                3.5
                                                                -------
Total purchase price                                               94.0

Net assets of DAS acquired                                          7.5
Increase in fair value of property acquired                         3.9
Covenant not to compete                                             1.6
Proceeds from subsequent bridge financing                          10.0
Developed technology & know-how                                    30.1
Estimated value of in process technology                           28.7
                                                                -------
Residual goodwill                                               $  12.2
                                                                =======

The following sets forth the unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet of AMC
and DAS as if the proposed merger had occurred on October 3, 1998 and combines
AMC's October 3, 1998 consolidated balance sheet information with the DAS
unaudited balance sheet information as of September 30, 1998. The unaudited pro
forma combined statement of operations assumes the proposed merger took place at
the beginning of the period presented and combines AMC's consolidated statement
of operations for the 53-week period ended October 3,1998 with the DAS unaudited
statement of operations for the year ended September 30, 1998. In addition,
management is in the process of assessing and formulating its integration plans,
which are expected to include employee separation, elimination of duplicate
research and development processes and other restructuring actions. The
estimated costs of these activities have not been included in the unaudited
combined pro forma financial statements.

The merger agreement also requires that up to $20 million (but not less than $15
million) be invested through the purchase of AMC common shares by GM Pension and
other investors. The share price is to be 80 percent of the lesser of the
average closing price at the five trading days prior to the merger agreement or
at the time of the closing. This equity investment is reflected in the unaudited
combined pro forma balance sheet.

<PAGE>


As part of the merger agreement, subsequent to September 30, 1998, DAS has
received approximately $10.0 million of bridge financing in the form of a $7.9
million senior secured note and a $2.1 million junior note (secured by
technology rights) from third party investors to provide working capital and
general corporate funds until the merger is consummated. In addition, DAS will
acquire covenants not to compete for approximately $1.6 million. These notes and
covenants will be settled upon closing of the Merger in AMC Common Stock, valued
at approximately $19.7 million. The effect of these transactions, including the
repayment of the notes, has been reflected in the unaudited combined pro forma
balance sheet and the merger purchase price.

Based upon the finalization of the integration plans and other factors, the
final purchase price allocation may differ materially from the pro forma
adjustments presented in the following unaudited combined pro forma financial
statements.

The unaudited combined pro forma financial information is presented for
illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the combined
financial position or results of operations of future periods or the results
that actually would have been realized had the Merger been completed during the
specified periods. The unaudited combined pro forma financial information,
including the notes thereto, are qualified in their entirety by reference to,
and should be read in conjunction with, the historical consolidated financial
statements of AMC and DAS, including the notes thereto, incorporated herein by
reference and/or contained elsewhere in this filing.

       NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1.  Basis of Presentation

      The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet gives effect to the
proposed merger of AMC and DAS as if the proposed merger had occurred as of
October 3, 1998 and combines AMC's October 3, 1998 consolidated balance sheet
and DAS' unaudited September 30, 1998 balance sheet. The unaudited pro forma
combined statement of operations assumes the proposed merger took place as of
the beginning of the period presented and combines AMC's consolidated statement
of operations for the 53-week period ended October 3, 1998 and DAS' unaudited
statement of operations for the year ended September 30, 1998. DAS' 1998 fiscal
year ended on December 31, 1998. DAS' twelve-month period ended September 30,
1998 has been derived by combining the unaudited results for nine months ended
September 30, 1998 with the unaudited results of operations for the three months
ended December 31, 1997.

      On a combined basis, there were no material transactions between AMC and
DAS during the period presented. There are no material differences between the
accounting policies of AMC and DAS. The pro forma combined provision for income
taxes may not represent the amounts that would have resulted had AMC and DAS
filed consolidated income tax returns during the period presented.

Note 2.  Pro Forma Adjustments

      The pro forma adjustments are based on AMC management's estimates of the
value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired. A valuation of all assets
acquired has been conducted by an independent third-party appraisal company. The
pro forma adjustments may differ materially from those presented in these
unaudited pro forma combined financial statements. A change in the pro forma
adjustments would result in a reallocation of the purchase price affecting the
value assigned to tangible and intangible assets, including purchased in-process
technology and developed technology & know-how. The income statement effect of
these changes will depend on the nature and amount of the assets or liabilities
adjusted.

      Management estimates that approximately $28.7 million of the purchase
price represents purchased in-process technology that has not yet reached
technological feasibility and has no alternative future use. This amount will be
expensed as a non-recurring, non-tax deductible charge upon consummation of the
Merger. This amount has been reflected as a reduction to stockholders' equity
and has not been included in the unaudited pro forma combined statement of
operations due to its non-recurring nature.

      The value assigned to purchased in-process technology was determined by
identifying research projects in areas for which technological feasibility has
not been established. The value was determined by estimating the costs to
develop the purchased in-process technology into commercially viable 6.4GB and
8.5GB per 3.5 inch GMR products; estimating the resulting net cash flows from
such projects; and discounting the net cash flows back to their present value.

      The nature of the efforts to develop the purchased in-process technology
into commercially viable products principally relate to the completion of all
designing, testing, prototyping, and high-volume manufacturing activities that
are necessary to establish that the GMR products can be produced to meet its
design specifications.

                                 Page 33 of 36
<PAGE>


      The resulting net cash flows from such projects are based on AMC
management's estimates of revenues, cost of sales, research and development
costs, selling, general and administrative costs, and income taxes from such
projects.

      Management's estimate of net cash flow was discounted to present value.
The discount rate used in discounting the net cash flows from purchased
in-process technology is 35 percent. This discount rate considers an estimate of
AMC cost of capital and the inherent uncertainties in the estimates described
above including the uncertainty surrounding the successful development of the
purchased in-process technology, the useful life of such technology, the
profitability levels of such technology and the uncertainty of technological
advances that are unknown at this time.

      If these projects are not successfully developed, the sales and
profitability of the combined AMC may be adversely affected in future periods.
Additionally, the value of other intangible assets acquired may become impaired.
AMC anticipates to begin to benefit from the purchased in-process technology in
late 1999.

Description of pro forma adjustments
- ------------------------------------

(a)   Adjustment to record $7.9 million in senior secured bridge notes provided
      by third-party creditors. These notes are repayable, at the closing of the
      merger at a 50 percent premium, through the issuance of AMC common shares.

(b)   Adjustment to record $2.1 million in junior secured bridge notes provided
      by third-party creditors. These notes are repayable at the closing of the
      merger at face value plus $4.2 million to release the notes' collateral
      consisting of DAS technology rights. Repayment will be made through the
      issuance of AMC common shares.

(c)   Adjustment to record the equity investment in AMC common shares from GM
      Pension and other investors. The agreement requires that up to $20 million
      (but not less than $15 million) be invested through the purchase of AMC
      common shares. The share price is to be 80 percent of the lesser of the
      average closing price of AMC common shares for the five trading days prior
      to the merger agreement or closing. The pro forma adjustment assumes that
      the common share value is $5.55 which represents 80 percent of the five
      day average closing price ($6.9375) prior to the date of the merger
      agreement. On this basis, 3,603,603 AMC common shares are assumed to be
      issued.

(d)   Adjustments to record the components of the purchase price - 10,201,422
      shares of AMC Common Stock will be issued in exchange for all of the
      outstanding shares of DAS Common and Preferred Stock. Included in the
      above amount is approximately 555,000 common shares which will initially
      be reserved for issuance as DAS common stock options and warrants vest.
      These shares have been assumed to be issued since the DAS options and
      warrants have nominal exercise prices. In addition, 2,850,450 shares of
      AMC Common Stock will be issued to repay the bridge financing and the

      obligation for the covenants not to compete. The value of AMC Common Stock
      issued is based on the per share value of approximately $6.9375 calculated
      as the average closing market price during the five trading days
      immediately preceding the date of the Merger Agreement. These adjustments
      also reflect the elimination of DAS stockholders' equity and the estimated
      valuation of tangible and intangible assets, including purchased
      in-process technology which is reflected as a reduction of stockholder's
      equity, resulting from the preliminary allocation of the purchase price.
      Valuation of the tangible and intangible assets acquired has been
      conducted by an independent third-party appraisal company. The excess of
      the purchase price plus related transaction costs over the fair value of
      tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed has been
      allocated to (1) developed technology and know-how, which will be
      amortized on a straight line basis over 3 years, the estimated period of
      future benefit and (2) goodwill (including a value of $1.6 million
      associated with assembled workforce), which will be amortized on a
      straight line basis over the estimated period of future benefit of 7
      years.

(e)   Adjustment to reflect the accrual of estimated merger-related costs.  AMC
      will satisfy approximately $2.0 million of such costs through the issuance
      of 800,000 warrants to acquire AMC Common Stock at the lower of the market
      price upon vesting or $7.00.

(f)   Adjustment to reflect the amortization of the covenants not to compete
      over the term of the covenants.

(g)   Adjustment to record the additional depreciation expense that would have
      been recorded on the write-up of property, plant and equipment assuming an
      estimated average useful life of 5 years.

(h)   Adjustment to reflect the amortization of developed technology & know-how
      over its estimated useful life of 3 years on a straight-line basis.

(i)   Adjustment to reflect the amortization of goodwill over its estimated
      useful life of 7 years on a straight-line basis.


Note 3.  Pro Forma Basic Loss Per Common Share

               Basic pro forma loss per common share is calculated based on the
historical AMC weighted average common shares outstanding during the fiscal year
ended October 3, 1998 and the conversion of all DAS Common Stock and Preferred
Stock outstanding at September 30, 1998 into 10,201,422 million shares of AMC
common shares, the settlement of the DAS bridge financing through the issuance
of 2,850,450 AMC common shares and the sale of 3,603,603 AMC common shares to GM
Pension and other investors. Diluted loss per share has not been presented
because the effect of common stock equivalents is antidilutive.
