<PAGE> 3<PAGE>
RISK FACTORS
In addition to the other information contained in this Prospectus, the
following factors should be considered carefully in evaluating the Company
and its business before purchasing the Common Stock offered hereby.
Reliance upon Key Employees
The Company's future success depends to a significant degree on the
continued service of its key personnel and on its ability to attract,
motivate and retain highly qualified employees. In particular, the Company
is dependent upon the management services of Jack Brown and Jim Weinberg.
Mr. Brown is the Company's President and has managed the business and
marketing operations of the Company since its inception. Mr. Weinberg is the
Company's Vice-President and has managed the production and internal
operations of the Company since its inception. Both Mr. Brown and Mr.
Weinberg have employment agreements with the Company which expire June 30,
1997. Competition for such employees is intense and the process of locating
key management and technical personnel with the combination of skills and
attributes required to execute the Company's strategy is often lengthy.
Accordingly, the loss of the services of key personnel could have a material
adverse effect upon the Company's results of operations. The Company does
not maintain any key-man insurance policy on either Mr. Brown or Mr. Weinberg.
Competition
The business of the Company is highly competitive. All aspects of its
business, including price, promptness of service, and product quality are
significant competitive factors and the ability of the Company to
successfully compete with respect to each factor is material to its
profitability. The Company competes with a number of other businesses that
have greater financial, technical and human resources such as Allied Video,
Bell and Howell and Technicolor. Such companies may develop products or
services that may be more effective than the Company's products or services
and may be more successful in marketing their products or services than the
Company. The Company depends upon its demonstrated ability to provide quality
service to its customers in order to be competitive in the market place,
although no assurance can be given that the Company will be able to compete
successfully. See "Business."
Rapidly Changing Technology
Technology in video duplicating equipment is advancing at a rapid rate.
The Company is aware that research and develpoment is being conducted both to
develop new systems and methods of video reproduction and to improve existing
ones. The Company's future profitability will depend upon its ability to
adjust to such new developments. There can be no assurance that new
discoveries will not render the Company's equipment uneconomical or obsolete.
<PAGE> 4<PAGE>
Possible Volatility of Stock Price
The Common Stock of DCT is currently traded on the AMEX. DCT believes
that such factors as quarterly variations in DCT's financial results,
announcements regarding the operations of DCT and developments affecting DCT
or its markets have caused significant fluctuation in the market price of the
Common Stock and could continue to do so in the future. In addition, the
stock market in general has recently experienced extreme price and volume
fluctuations. These fluctuations have often been unrelated to the operating
performance of DCT. Broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the
market price of the Common Stock. See "Price Range of Common Stock."
Credit Facilities
As of January 1, 1996, DCT extended the maturity date on its line of
credit with its primary lender to March 31, 1996. While DCT expects to
refinance its current bank debt with a new lender or extend the maturity
date, if necessary, with its current lender beyond March 31, 1996, there can
be no assurance that DCT will be able to do so. In the event that DCT cannot
change its banking relationship or extend the current maturity date of March
31, 1996 to a future date, DCT would be in default of its credit agreement.
Concentration of Customers
During the year ended June 30, 1995, two of DCT's largest customers,
Madacy Music Group and Atlantic Recording Corporation, accounted for 16.3%
and 12% respectively, of its sales. As is customary in the industry, DCT
does not have long-term supply contracts with its customers. The loss of any
of these customers could have a material adverse effect on DCT. See
"Business of DCT -- Customers".
Requirements for Continued Listing on the AMEX; Disclosure Relating to
Low-Priced Stocks
Under the rules for continued listing on the AMEX, a company is required
to maintain certain minimum requirements. The AMEX will consider suspending
dealings and delisting the Common Stock if, among other things, (i) the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (exclusive of certain affiliates
and concentrated holdings) is less than 200,000, (ii) the number of round lot
stockholders of record is less than 300, or (iii) the aggregate market value
of the Common Stock is less than $1,000,000. Failure of the Company to meet
the maintenance requirements of the AMEX could result in the Common Stock
being delisted from the AMEX. The Common Stock would then be traded on the
OTC Bulletin Board maintained by the National Association of Securities
Dealers, Inc., which is generally considered to be a less efficient market
than the AMEX. The Company has no reason to believe that the Company will be
delisted from the AMEX.
<PAGE> 5<PAGE>
In addition, if the Company's securities are delisted, they would be
subject to Rule 15c2-6 promulgated under the Exchange Act that imposes
additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell such
securities to persons other than established customers and accredited
investors (generally those persons with assets in excess of $1,000,000 or
annual income exceeding $200,000, or $300,000 together with their spouse).
For transactions covered by this rule, the broker-dealer must make a special
suitability determination for the purchaser and have received the
purchaser's written consent to the transaction prior to the purchase.
Consequently, the rule may restrict the ability of broker-dealers to sell the
Company's securities and may affect the ability of purchasers in this
offering to sell their securities in the secondary market. The delisting
from the AMEX may also cause a decline in share price, loss of news coverage
of the Company, and difficulty in obtaining subsequent financing.
The Commission has also recently adopted regulations which define a
"penny stock" to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined
in such regulations) less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of
less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any
transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules would require
the delivery prior to any transaction in a penny stock, of a disclosure
schedule prepared by the Commission relating to the penny stock market.
Disclosure would also have to be made about commissions payable to both the
broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the
securities and, if the broker-dealer is the sole market-maker, the
broker-dealer must disclose this fact and its presumed control over the
market. Finally, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price
information for the penny stock held in the account together with information
on the limited market in penny stocks.
Anti-Takeover Provisions
The Company's Certificate of Incorporation contains a provision
authorizing the issue of "blank check" preferred stock. The Company is
subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation
Law. Such provisions could impede any merger, consolidation, takeover or
other business combination involving the Company or discourage a potential
acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control
of the Company. See "Description of Capital Stock."
Lack of Cash Dividends
At the present time, the Company intends to use any earnings which may
be generated to finance the growth of the Company's business. Accordingly,
while payment of cash dividends rests within the discretion of the Board of
Directors, the Company does not presently intend to pay cash dividends and
there can be no assurance such dividends will be paid in the future. See
"Dividend Policy."
<PAGE> 6<PAGE>
Potential Acquisitions of Business Enterprises
Although no specific acquisitions are currently contemplated, the
Company may achieve growth through acquisitions of existing business
enterprises in the future. The Company does not plan to limit such potential
acquisitions to any particular industry. Accordingly, there can be no
assurance that the Company can integrate such businesses into its operations
or that it can operate such businesses on a profitable basis in the future.
In addition, there can be no assurance that future acquisition opportunities
will become available, that such future acquisitions can be accomplished on
favorable terms, or that such acquisitions will result in profitable
operations in the future. In addition, many of the Company's acquisitions
are structured as stock exchanges. Fluctuations in the Common Stock may have
an adverse effect on the Company's ability to make additional acquisitions.
See " -- Possible Volatility of Stock Price."
Potential Adverse Effect of Fluctuations in Prices and Supplies of Raw
Materials Upon Operations
DCT is dependent upon outside suppliers for all of its raw material
needs and, therefore, is subject to fluctuations in prices of raw materials.
In particular, DCT's results of operations are affected significantly by
increases in the prices of V-O's (the shell casing storing the video tape)
and blank stock tape. DCT buys its raw materials at market-based prices from
numerous independent suppliers. Prices of V-0's and blank tape products can
be adversely affected by, among other things, the price of polystyrene
resins, as polystyrene resins are a major material used in the manufacturing
of V-0's. No assurances can be given that prices will not increase
significantly in the future.
Shares Eligible for Sale as a Result of this Offering
Prior to this offering, the 2,671,258 shares of Common Stock covered
hereby could only be disposed of in accordance with certain exemptions to the
Securities Act, including Rule 144 promulgated thereunder. Rule 144 allows
the resale of unregistered securities subject to certain restrictions and
conditions. Rule 144 provides, among other things, that persons holding
restricted securities for a period of two years may each sell in brokerage
transactions every three months an amount equal to 1% of the Company's
outstanding shares or the weekly reported volume of trading during the four
calendar weeks preceding the filing of a notice of proposed sale, whichever
is greater. Upon the effectiveness of this Registration Statement, all
2,671,258 shares of Common Stock will be freely tradeable. No prediction can
be made as to the effect, if any, that sales of Common Stock or the
availability of such shares for sale will have on the market prices
prevailing from time to time. Nevertheless, the possibility that substantial
amounts of Common Stock may be sold in the public market may adversely affect
prevailing market prices for the Common Stock and could impair the Company's
ability to raise capital through the sale of its equity securities.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operation of DCT
Years Ended June 30, 1995 and 1994
Overview
DCT experienced a decline in operating income from approximately
$1,484,000 to $811,000 for the years ended June 30, 1994 and 1995,
respectively. Increased operating costs, primarily in general and
administrative expenses, combined with increased cost of goods sold caused
the lower operating results. These increased operating costs, along with
increased interest expense and costs associated with the effects of closing
of DCT's Tapes Unlimited, Inc. ("TU") subsidiary contributed to the net loss
for the year ended June 30, 1995.
During June 1995, DCT's management decided to discontinue the operations
of TU. Management believed that the cost of maintaining the TU subsidiary
outweighed the benefits provided to DCT. The effect on net (loss) income of
the operations of TU is segregated on the face of the income statement as
discontinued operations, and totaled approximately ($765,000) and ($81,000),
net of income taxes, for the years ended June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
Liquidity
DCT used approximately $109,000 in cash from operating activities for
the year ended June 30, 1995 as compared to approximately $425,000 in cash
provided by operating activities for the year ended June 30, 1994. The
change in DCT's operating cash position is primarily due to the net loss of
approximately $282,000 incurred during the year ended June 30, 1995 as
compared to the net income generated in the year ended June 30, 1994 of
approximately $699,000. Other significant items that affected cash from
operating activities for the year ended June 30, 1995 were increases in
inventory, accounts receivable and prepaid expenses.
Overall inventory levels increased approximately 26% from June 30, 1994
to June 30, 1995 in order to support the increased sales levels experienced
during the year ended June 30, 1995. The largest increases occurred in the
work-in-process and raw material components of inventory which increased
approximately $400,000 and $315,000, respectively during the year ended June
30, 1995. Toward the end of the fiscal year, DCT began pre-loading blank
tapes in anticipation of peak season demand in the fall. This activity led
to the increased inventory levels noted above.
Despite the increased inventory levels, the higher inventory amounts
were consistent with the sales levels experienced during the year ended June
30, 1995. This is evident from the consistent inventory turnover experienced
during the years ended June 30, 1994 and 1995, which actually improved
slightly during these periods from 4.9 times for the year ended June 30, 1994
to 5.2 times for the year ended June 30, 1995.
<PAGE> 10<PAGE>
Inventory levels, particularly in the work-in-process and finished goods
categories, will fluctuate somewhat depending on the size and number of video
tape duplicating orders processed at any given time. Typically DCT does no
t stock significant quantities of finished products, shipping orders
immediately upon completion. Management will continue to focus on ensuring
that the least amount of operating cash is invested in inventory by ensuring
that shipments are made immediately upon project completion and by minimizing
the amount of raw materials purchased.
Accounts receivable increased approximately $891,000 for the year ended
June 30, 1995 as compared to approximately $1,880,000 for the year ended June
30, 1994. Although still contributing to the overall net negative operating
cash flow position, the size of the increase in accounts receivable was
improved in the current year ended June 30, 1995 despite the increase in
sales for the same period.
DCT's accounts receivable collection period (measuring how quickly, on
average, DCT collects its accounts receivable) increased from approximately
67 days at June 30, 1994 to approximately 74 days at June 30, 1995. DCT
continues to receive competitive pressures from its customers to grant longer
payment terms due to the changing customer base (discussed more fully in the
"Results of Operations" section). Therefore, in response to specific
accounts that had deteriorated and overall increased sales, DCT increased its
allowance for doubtful accounts from approximately $320,000 to $1,065,000 as
of June 30, 1994 and 1995, respectively.
Prepaid expenses and other current assets increased approximately
$314,000 for the year ended June 30, 1995 as compared to an increase of
approximately $229,000 for the year ended June 30, 1994. The increase is
primarily related to income tax receivables based on anticipated refunds due
to DCT's net losses in the current year.
Included in the net loss for the year ended June 30, 1995 were several
non-cash losses which partially offset some of the uses of cash from
operating activities noted above. Approximately $531,000 was related to the
write-off of goodwill recorded from the acquisition of DCT's TU subsidiary
which was discontinued in June 1995. In addition, a net loss of
approximately $106,000 was realized on the sale of equipment that was no
longer needed.
Approximately $2,005,000 was used in investing activities for the year
ended June 30, 1995 as compared to approximately $2,588,000 for the year
ended June 30, 1994. A large portion of cash used in investing activities
for the year ended June 30, 1995, other than capital expenditures which is
discussed in the "Capital Resources" section, was an increase in investments
in DCT's marketable securities portfolio and an additional investment of
approximately $350,000 in the stock of DCT's former majority owner, S.O.I.
Industries, Inc. A net use of approximately $99,000 was related to these
marketable securities investment activities during the year ended June 30,
1995. Additionally, cash was temporarily advanced to S.O.I. Industries, Inc.
and an affiliate of DCT which is expected to be repaid.
DCT utilized its line of credit to provide approximately $1,504,000 for
working capital needs during the year ended June 30, 1995. In addition,
approximately $269,000 in cash was generated from issuances of common stock
in connection with bonuses and other employee compensation. Management
intends to selectively utilize its line of credit to fund capital
expenditures and inventory purchases when needed, and expects to reduce the
amount outstanding on the line of credit as collections on sales are received.
<PAGE> 11<PAGE>
As of June 30, 1995, DCT failed to meet a cash flow coverage ratio as
required by certain of DCT's loan agreements. Therefore, all amounts due
under these agreements have been classified as current liabilities on the
balance sheet. There can be no assurance that DCT will be able to comply
with this debt covenant in the future, however management will attempt to
comply or renegotiate the covenant with DCT's lender.
During the year ended June 30, 1995, DCT's cash needs were met primarily
through operations, with additional short-term borrowing on DCT's credit line.
Long-term liquidity needs are anticipated to be met through sales growth and
separate financing arrangements. Management anticipates that it will
continue to meet most obligations as they come due, and no vendor/supplier
problems are expected.
Capital Resources
DCT invested approximately $1,227,000 in equipment and leasehold
improvements for the year ended June 30, 1995. This was lower than amounts
invested during the year ended June 30, 1994 due to significant equipment
purchases for DCT's high-speed duplicating facility in Indianapolis, Indiana
in the prior fiscal year. The necessary equipment to initially position DCT
to expand sales to the retail-sell-through market (see "Results of Operations"
below) has now been acquired. However, DCT plans to continue to expand
current operating facilities at the Indianapolis plant to fully meet the high
volume demands of the retail-sell-through market.
Expenditures in the year ended June 30, 1995 consisted primarily of the
following: a satellite uplink unit for DCT's satellite broadcast operations
and machinery and equipment for general overall upgrades and replacements at
all of DCT's facilities. These expenditures were financed through operations.
Results of Operations
Overall growth in DCT's target markets led to continued sales growth in
the current year. Net sales increased approximately 16% from $18,005,000 to
$20,894,000 for the years ended June 30, 1994 and 1995, respectively.
Significant sales increases, experienced primarily in DCT's first and second
fiscal quarters, led to this sales growth as orders were filled to meet the
holiday buying season demands. As in the prior fiscal year, management's
focus on the "retail-sell-through market" resulted in this sales surge. This
market centers on sales of pre-recorded video tapes which are sold at the
retail level. The video tapes sold to this market are typically recorded on
a narrower band width (i.e. extended play mode) in order to record more
programming on less video tape at a lower cost. DCT's customer base has
become increasingly dominated by the companies which distribute these
pre-recorded videos to the retail-sell-through market, and management has
positioned DCT to capitalize on this portion of the video industry.
Operating profit did not keep pace with the increased sales, declining
from approximately $1,484,000 (8.2% of net sales) to $811,000 (3.9% of net
sales) for the years ended June 30, 1994 and 1995, respectively. The decline
in operating profit is due to increases in cost of goods sold and general and
administrative expenses.
<PAGE> 12<PAGE>
Cost of goods sold as a percentage of sales increased to 77% for the year
ended June 30, 1995 as compared to 75% for the year ended June 30, 1994. The
increased cost of goods sold is directly attributable to increased material
costs, specifically the cost of the plastic video cassette shells, which have
been increasing in cost faster than DCT's ability to pass the increases to
its customers. Management will continue its efforts to pass on the material
cost increases to DCT's customers and will continue its focus on cost
containment, especially in labor costs, to ensure more efficiency is obtained
and thereby reducing current cost levels even though sales volume increases.
Management is also exploring alternative sources for its raw materials to
reduce material costs.
As a percentage of net sales, general and administrative expenses
increased from approximately 7% to 9% for the year ended June 30, 1994 and
1995, respectively. This increase was due to a larger provision for doubtful
accounts and increased public relations expenses. In addition, increased
legal and professional expenses were incurred in connection with a lawsuit
filed against two former employees which was settled prior to June 30, 1995.
PAGE
<PAGE>
Despite the increase in net sales, selling expenses increased only
slightly for the year ended June 30, 1995. As a percentage of net sales,
selling costs approximated 4.9% and 4.3% for the years ended June 30, 1995
and 1994, respectively. The increase was due to an increase in commissions
paid.
Interest expense increased from approximately $352,000 to $700,000 for
the years ended June 30, 1994 and 1995, respectively. This increase was due
primarily to increased borrowings on DCT's line of credit and increased
long-term borrowing over the levels of the prior year. In addition,
increased interest expense was due to an increase in the bank's prime
interest rate which directly affects DCT's borrowing rates. This additional
debt, as compared with the prior year, was incurred in connection with
expansion of operations, primarily at DCT's high-speed duplicating facility
in Indianapolis, Indiana and for funds borrowed for maintenance of DCT's
investment portfolio.
DCT realized income from securities transactions of approximately
$513,000 for the year ended June 30, 1995 as compared to approximately
$259,000 for the year ended June 30, 1994. The gains were from investment
transactions associated with DCT's marketable securities portfolio. DCT
invests funds in quality equity securities through high quality brokers and,
by policy, limits the amount of exposure in any one equity investment. Such
investments are continually monitored to reduce the risk of any adverse stock
market volatility. Cash not invested in securities is placed on account with
high quality brokerage firms, which is swept daily into a federally insured
money market account, or placed on account with a federally insured national
bank.
In the quarter ended December 31, 1993, after evaluating the historical
contribution of DCT's Video Plus, Inc. subsidiary and considering the
expected future contribution of this subsidiary, management decided to sell
Video Plus, Inc. The operations of Video Plus, Inc. have been removed from
the operating section of the consolidated statement of income for the year
ended June 30, 1994, and the income from operations of Video Plus, Inc. have
been segregated under discontinued operations. The net effect of the
operation of Video Plus, Inc. for the year ended June 30, 1994 was a reduction
to net income of approximately $94,000.

Other Items
The costs of DCT's products are subject to inflationary pressures and
commodity price fluctuations. Inflationary pressures have been relatively
modest over the past five years and DCT has generally been able to mitigate
the effects of inflation and commodity price fluctuations through sales price
increases and cost savings in other areas.
DCT's sales levels generally follow the retail-sell-through markets,
which typically peak in the fall and early winter months as retail demand and
holiday orders are met. DCT has mitigated this seasonality by increasing
sales efforts to lower volume, but higher margin customers such as corporate
training video duplication and the video rental market. In addition,
management plans to increase market penetration in the Canadian and other
foreign markets where the seasonal base is different from that of the
domestic market. Finally, management intends to focus its marketing efforts
toward the amusement related industry (i.e. providing video tape duplication
services for video game manufacturers) as well as to the mass marketing
advertising industry to help mitigate the seasonality of the retail-sell-
through markets. Even by utilizing these techniques, sales levels are still
lower in the summer months.
<PAGE> 14<PAGE>
Quarters ended December 31, 1995 and 1994
DCT continued to experience sales growth for both the quarter and six
month periods ended December 31, 1995. However, DCT continued to experience
a decline in operating profit and net income, both in real terms and as a
percentage of net sales. Increased raw material costs as well as increased
general and administrative costs were primarily responsible for the declining
operating profits. Increased interest expense and lower realized gains from
the marketable securities portfolio, coupled with the lower operating profits,
resulted in the lower net income.
Liquidity
DCT used approximately $570,000 in cash from operating activities for
the six months ended December 31, 1995 as compared to approximately $785,000
in cash used in operating activities for the six months ended December 31,
1994. An overall net use of cash in operating activities for the six month
period ended December 31, 1995 is consistent with prior years. During this
period DCT typically experiences its highest sales volume, but cash collections
on many of the sales follows in the subsequent quarter. This situation is
evident in the period ended December 31, 1995, as accounts receivable
increased approximately $1,219,000 from the June 30, 1995 balance. In
addition, DCT's inventory increased approximately $147,000 during the same
period. The increase was due to significant purchases of raw materials at
the end of the second quarter which were acquired for a lower per unit cost
than had been available in prior months. The raw material purchases,
specifically of video tape cassette shells and video tape "pancakes," were
purchased based on anticipated orders for the next several months, and were
purchased to mitigate the steadily increasing material costs that have been
eroding operating profits.
DCT's accounts receivable collection period (measuring how quickly, on
average, DCT collects its accounts receivable) increased from approximately
74 days at June 30, 1995 to approximately 77 days at December 31, 1995.
While the 77 days is a marked improvement from the 85 days for the first
quarter ended September 30, 1995, it still demonstrates the effect of
competitive pressures from DCT's customers to grant longer payment terms.
As discussed above, inventory levels increased approximately 4% from
June 30, 1995 to December 31, 1995. The finished goods and work in process
components of inventory declined slightly from the June 30, 1995 levels,
while raw materials increased. The raw materials inventory component is
expected to decline as in-stock raw materials are utilized to meet production
requirements in subsequent months. Inventory levels, particularly in the
work-in-process and finished goods categories, will fluctuate somewhat
depending on the size and number of video tape duplicating orders processed
at any given time. Typically, DCT does not stock significant quantities of
finished products, shipping orders immediately upon completion.
<PAGE> 15<PAGE>
Approximately $684,000 in cash was provided by investing activities for
the six months ended December 31, 1995 as compared to approximately
$1,368,000 in cash used in investing activities for the corresponding period
of the prior year. The primary sources for the funds were an approximate
$149,000 decrease in loans receivable from affiliated companies and an
approximate $1,014,000 decrease in funds invested in DCT's marketable
securities portfolio. When not invested in marketable securities, the
majority of these funds are invested in federally-insured money market funds,
and are classified as cash equivalents.
DCT utilized its line of credit to provide approximately $360,000 for
working capital needs during the six months ended December 31, 1995 and
repaid approximately $357,000 in long-term debt. Management intends to
selectively utilize its line of credit to fund capital expenditures and
inventory purchases when needed, and expects to reduce the amount outstanding
on the line of credit as collections on sales are received.
As of June 30, 1995, DCT failed to meet a cash flow coverage ratio as
required by certain of DCT's loan agreements. Therefore, all amounts due
under these agreements have been classified as current liabilities on the
balance sheet. There can be no assurance that DCT will be able to comply
with this debt covenant in the future, however management will attempt to
comply or renegotiate the covenant with DCT's lender.
During the year ended June 30, 1995, DCT's cash needs were met primarily
through operations, with additional short-term borrowing on DCT's credit line.
Long-term liquidity needs are anticipated to be met through sales growth and
separate financing arrangements. Management anticipates that it will
continue to meet most obligations as they come due, and no vendor/supplier
problems are expected.
Capital Resources
DCT invested approximately $457,000 in equipment and leasehold
improvements for the six months ended December 31, 1995. This amount was
consistent with capital expenditures during the corresponding period of the
prior year. The expenditures related primarily to a high-speed video
duplicating system which was acquired for DCT's Fort Lauderdale facility
during the first quarter ended September 30, 1995. DCT plans to continue to
expand current operating facilities at the Indianapolis plant to fully meet
the high volume demands of the retail-sell-through market. DCT intends to
finance these expenditures through operations.
Results of Operations
Overall growth in DCT's target markets continued the sales growth
experienced during the first quarter ended September 30, 1995 and during the
year ended June 30, 1995. Net sales increased approximately 2% from
$7,728,000 to $7,896,000 for the three months ended December 31, 1994 and
1995, respectively. Net sales also increased for the six month period ended
December 31, 1995 to approximately $13,282,000 from approximately $12,004,000
for the six month period ended December 31, 1994, an 11% increase.
Significant sales increases were experienced as orders were filled to meet
the holiday buying season demands. As in the prior fiscal year, management's
focus on the "retail-sell-through market" resulted in this sales hike. This
market centers on sales of pre-recorded video tapes which are sold at the
retail level. The video tapes sold to this market are typically recorded on
a narrower band width (i.e. extended play mode) in order to record more
programming on less video tape at a lower cost. DCT's customer base has
become increasingly dominated by the companies which distribute these pre-
recorded videos to the retail sell-through market, and management has
positioned DCT to capitalize on this portion of the video industry.
<PAGE> 16<PAGE>
Operating profit did not keep pace with the increased sales, declining
from approximately $689,000 (8.9% of net sales) to $514,000 (6.5% of net
sales) for the three months ended December 31, 1994 and 1995, respectively.
A similar decline was experienced for the six months ended December 31, 1995.
Operating profit for this period declined from approximately $1,096,000 (9.1%
of net sales) to $805,000 (6.1% of net sales). The decline in operating
profits are due to increases in cost of goods sold and general and operating
expenses.
Cost of goods sold, as a percentage of sales, increased to 83% for the
six months ended December 31, 1995 as compared to 82% for the six months
ended December 31, 1994. The increased cost of goods sold is directly
attributable to increased material costs, specifically the cost of the
plastic video cassette shells and video tape, which have been increasing in
cost faster than DCT's ability to pass the increases to its customers.
Management will continue its efforts to pass on the material cost increases
to DCT's customers and will continue its focus on cost containment, especially
in labor costs, to ensure more efficiency is obtained and thereby reducing
current cost levels even though sales volume increases. Management is also
exploring alternative sources for its raw materials to reduce material costs
and was successful in purchasing lower cost materials at the end of the
current quarter.
An overall increase in general and administrative expenses also
contributed to the lower operating profit. As a percentage of net sales,
these costs increased from 5.3% to 6.4% for the six month periods ended
December 31, 1994 and 1995, respectively. Increases in professional fees
over prior year levels and an increase in the allowance for doubtful accounts
primarily contributed to this increase.
Interest expense increased from approximately $300,000 to $380,000 for
the six months ended December 31, 1994 and 1995, respectively and from
approximately $166,000 to $204,000 for the three months ended December 31,
1994 and 1995, respectively. These increases were due primarily to increased
borrowings on DCT's line of credit and increased long-term borrowing over the
levels of the prior year as well as margin interest paid in connection with
DCT's marketable securities portfolio. In addition, increased interest
expense was due to an increase in the bank's prime interest rate, which
directly affects DCT's borrowing rates.
DCT realized income from securities transactions of approximately
$72,000 for the six months ended December 31, 1995 as compared to
approximately $611,000 for the corresponding period of the prior year. The
gains were from investment transactions associated with DCT's marketable
securities portfolio. DCT invests funds in quality equity securities through
high quality brokers and, by policy, limits the amount of exposure in any one
equity investment. Such investments are continually monitored to reduce the
risk of any adverse stock market volatility. Cash not invested in securities
is placed on account with high quality brokerage firms, which is swept daily
into a federally insured money market account, or placed on account with a
federally insured national bank.
The effect on net income (loss) of the operations of TU is segregated on
the face of the income statement as discontinued operations, and totaled
approximately $95,000 and ($86,000), net of income taxes, for the six months
ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Although all operations at
TU have ceased, certain collection efforts are still conducted by DCT on
behalf of TU. These efforts, along with debt forgiveness resulting from
settlements with TU creditors, resulted in recoveries which is reflected in
the income from discontinued operations for the six months ended December 31,
1995.

for a salary of $85,000 per annum. In addition, Mr. Brown receives the same
benefits as other employees of DCT and reimbursement for expenses incurred on
behalf of DCT. The employment agreement also contains, among other things,
covenants by Mr. Brown that in the event of termination for cause, he will
not associate with a business that competes with DCT for a period of one year
after cessation of employment. The employment agreement also provides for a
bonus arrangement based on the following formula: a bonus not to exceed 3.5%
of the net operating profits before taxes and any income/loss arising from
investments or extraordinary items.
<PAGE> 23<PAGE>
1990 Employee Stock Option Plan
On January 25, 1990, DCT's Board of Directors adopted the 1990 Employee
Stock Option Plan (the "Plan").
The administration of the Plan rests with the Compensation Committee
(the "Committee"). Subject to the express provisions of the Plan and the
Board of Directors, the Committee shall have complete authority in its
discretion to determine those employees to whom, and the price at which
options shall be granted, the option periods and the number of shares of
Common Stock to be subject to each option. The Committee shall also have the
authority in its discretion to prescribe the time or times at which the
options may be exercised and limitations upon the exercise of options
(including limitations effective upon the death or termination of employment
of the optionee), and the restrictions, if any, to be imposed upon the
transferability of shares acquired upon exercise of options. In making such
determinations, the Committee may take into account the nature of the
services rendered by respective employees, their present and potential
contributions to the success of DCT or its subsidiaries, and such other
factors as the Committee in its discretion shall deem relevant.
An option may be granted under the Plan only to an employee of DCT or
its subsidiaries. The Plan made available for option 500,000 shares of DCT's
Common Stock.
If an optionee ceases to be employed by DCT or any of its subsidiaries,
his or her options shall terminate immediately; provided, however, that if an
optionee's cessation of employment with DCT and its subsidiaries is due to
his death or retirement with the consent of DCT or any of its subsidiaries,
the optionee may, at any time within twelve months in the event of death, or
three months after such cessation of employment, exercise his options to the
extent that he was entitled to exercise them on the date of cessation of
employment, but in no event shall any option be exercisable more than five
years from the date it was granted.
The term of each option granted under the Plan will be for such period
not exceeding five years as the Committee shall determine. Each option
granted under the Plan will be exercisable on such date or dates and during
such period and for such number of shares as shall be determined pursuant to
the provisions of the option agreement evidencing such option. Subject to
the express provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall have complete
authority, in its discretion, to determine the extent, if any, and the
conditions under which an option may be exercised in the event of the death
of the optionee or in the event the optionee leaves the employ of DCT or has
his employment terminated by DCT. The purchase price for shares of Common
Stock under each option shall be determined by the Committee at the time of
the option's issuance and may be less than the fair market value of such
shares on the date on which the options are granted. The agreements
evidencing the grant of options may contain other terms and conditions,
consistent with the Plan, that the Committee may approve.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
Any or all of the shares of Common Stock may be sold from time to time
to purchasers directly by the Selling Stockholders. Alternatively, the
Selling Stockholders may from time to time offer the shares of Common Stock
through underwriters, dealers or agents, who may receive compensation in the
form of underwriting discounts, concessions or commissions from the Selling
Stockholders or the purchasers of shares of Common Stock for whom they may
act as agents. The Selling Stockholders and any underwriters, dealers or
agents that participate in the distribution of shares of Common Stock may be
deemed to be underwriters, and any profit on the sale of shares of Common
Stock by them and any discounts, commissions or concessions received by any
such underwriters, dealers or agents might be deemed to be underwriting
discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. At the time a particular
offering of shares of Common Stock is made, to the extent required, a
Prospectus Supplement will be distributed which will set forth the aggregate
amount and type of Common Stock being offered and the terms of the offering,
including the name or names of any underwriters, dealers or agents, any
discounts, commissions and other items constituting compensation from the
Selling Stockholders and any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or
reallowed or paid to dealers.
The Selling Stockholders may be subject to applicable provisions of the
Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including without
limitation Rules 10b-2, 10b-6 and 10b-7, which provisions may limit the
timing of purchases and sales of any of the securities by the Selling
Stockholders.
Pursuant to agreements entered into with the Selling Stockholders at the
time the Common Stock was issued, the Company will pay substantially all of
the expenses incident to the registration offering and sale of the Common
Stock to the public other than commissions and discounts of underwriters,
dealers or agents, if any. Such expenses (excluding such commissions and
discounts) are estimated to be $9,763.37.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
On December 31, 1993, S.O.I. Industries, Inc., a Delaware corporation
("SOI") was the parent corporation of DCT because it owned approximately 50%
of the common stock of the Company. On January 27, 1994 the Board of
Directors agreed to exchange additional shares of the Company's Common Stock
for common stock of SOI. On February 14, 1994 the exchange of shares was
made based on the average price of the stock of both companies on January 27,
1994. The 580,538 shares of Common Stock of the Company that were exchanged
were worth approximately $4,574,636 and were exchanged for 1,329,836 shares
of SOI common stock worth approximately $4,574,636. The reason for the share
exchange was that SOI wished to sell certain shares of DCT's Common Stock
pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and still
retain the same percentage of ownership in the Company upon such sale.
DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION FOR
SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant
has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission, such indemnification
is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or
paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in th
e successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by suc
h director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities
being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel
the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed
by the final adjudication of such issue.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Stockholders and Directors of
Digital Communications Technology Corporation
Fort Lauderdale, Florida:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Digital
Communications Technology Corporation and Subsidiaries as of June 30, 1995,
and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' equity,
and cash flows for the year then ended. These consolidated financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated 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, the 1995 financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Digital
Communications Technology Corporation and Subsidiaries as of June 30, 1995,
and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the
year then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
We also audited the adjustment to net unrealized holding losses and the
adjustment to reduce the investment in S.O.I. Industries, Inc. to book value
described in Note 15 which adjustments were applied to restate the June 30,
1994 financial statements. In our opinion, such adjustments are appropriate
and have been properly applied to the June 30, 1994 financial statements.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. ORGANIZATION:
On April 29, 1994, the shareholders of MagneTech Corporation approved a
resolution to change the name of the Company to Digital Communications
Technology Corporation (the "Company"). The Company was incorporated on
November 12, 1987, under the laws of the State of Delaware, as a
wholly-owned subsidiary of S.O.I. Industries, Inc. ("S.O.I"). As of
June 30, 1995, S.O.I. owned approximately 47% of the Company.
The Company is in the business of video and audio tape production and
duplication. Sales for the years ended June 30, 1995 and 1994 were
generated from tape duplicating at the Fort Lauderdale and Indianapolis
facilities, as well as satellite broadcasting and video production.
On July 3, 1992, the Company purchased 1,000 shares (representing 100%
ownership) of Video Direct, Inc. for $342,917. The closing of this
transaction took place July 13, 1992. On July 13, 1992, Video Direct,
Inc. was merged into Video Plus, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and
became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. On December 6, 1993,
the Company sold its subsidiary, Video Plus, Inc. Such sale was
accounted for as a discontinued operation (See Note 14).
On March 25, 1994, the Company finalized the purchase of Tapes
Unlimited, Inc. and Tapes Unlimited USA, Inc. Notwithstanding the
closing date, the effective date for the consummation of the
transactions was deemed to be January 1, 1994. On June 30, 1994, Tapes
Unlimited USA, Inc. was liquidated into its parent, Tapes Unlimited,
Inc. Tapes Unlimited, Inc. provides tapes loading services. On June 9,
1995, the operations of Tapes Unlimited, Inc. were discontinued (See
Note 14).
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The accompanying consolidated financial statements for the years ended
June 30, 1995 and 1994 include the accounts of Digital Communications
Technology Corporation, (F/K/A MagneTech Corporation) and its
wholly-owned subsidiary, Tapes Unlimited, Inc., whose operations were
discontinued on June 9, 1995. All significant intercompany transactions
have been eliminated.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an
original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
<PAGE> F-8<PAGE>
MARKETABLE SECURITIES
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115
"Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" (FAS
115) as of June 30, 1994.
Under FAS 115, debt securities and equity securities that have readily
determinable fair values are to be classified in three categories:
HELD TO MATURITY - the positive intent and ability to hold to
maturity. Amounts are reported at amortized cost, adjusted for
amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts.
TRADING SECURITIES - bought principally for purpose of selling
them in the near term. Amounts are reported at fair value, with
unrealized gains and losses included in earnings.
AVAILABLE FOR SALE - not classified in one of the above
categories. Amounts are reported at fair value, with unrealized
gain and losses excluded from earnings and reported separately
as a component of shareholders' equity.
Marketable securities consist of listed common stocks with an aggregate
cost, based on specific identification, of $3,188,614 as of June 30,
1995. The gross unrealized holding losses as of June 30, 1995 were
$643,547, and the net unrealized holding gains were $29,558. All of the
Company's securities are classified as available for sale securities.
Gains or losses on dispositions of securities are based on the net
difference of the proceeds and the adjusted carrying amounts of the
securities sold, using the specific identification method.
INVENTORIES
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method)
or market value.
PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is
computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives
of the related assets, which range from 3 to 32 years. Costs of repairs
and maintenance are charged to operating expense as incurred;
improvements and betterments are capitalized; when items are retired or
otherwise disposed of, the related costs and accumulated depreciation
are removed from the accounts and any resulting gains or losses are
credited or charged to income.

INCOME TAXES
Effective July 1, 1993, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes" (SFAS 109).
As permitted, the consolidated financial statements prior to the
adoption of the new standard were not restated.
SFAS 109 changes the criteria for the recognition and measurement of
deferred tax assets and liabilities, including net operating loss and
tax credit carryovers. Deferred taxes are recorded based upon
differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and
liabilities and available tax credit carryovers.
NET (LOSS) INCOME PER COMMON SHARE
The net income (loss) per common share has been calculated using the
weighted average shares outstanding during each year. Such weighted
average shares have been reduced by the number of treasury shares owned
by the Company through its investment in S.O.I. The number of treasury
shares owned were approximately 659,400 and 634,700 at June 30, 1995 and
1994, respectively.
RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain amounts reflected in the 1994 consolidated financial statements
have been reclassified to conform to the 1995 presentation.

exceed federally insured limits. At June 30, 1995, the Company exceeded
the insured limit by approximately $67,000. Approximately 40% of the
Company's accounts receivable, before allowances, were due from three
customers at June 30, 1995.

In connection with the shutdown of operations of Tapes, the Company
recorded a charge of $443,400, net of tax of $87,237, to write-off the
goodwill recorded in connection with the acquisition of tapes. The net
income for the sale of Video Plus, Inc. for the year ended June 30, 1994
amounted to $66,735, net of tax of $38,854, which when netted against
the loss from the discontinued operation of Tapes of $81,170 amounts to
$14,475 which amount is shown in the accompanying statements of
operations under the caption loss from discontinued operations, net of
tax. The entire loss on disposal of discontinued operations of $162,164
net of tax of $94,416 relates to Video Plus, Inc.

1994 reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Stockholders' Equity
has been restated to reflect a valuation allowance that should have been
recorded in 1994 against deferred tax assets which were recorded to
reflect the tax benefit of unrealized capital losses on marketable
securities.
In addition, the investment in S.O.I. Industries, Inc. at June 30, 1994
in the Consolidated Statements of Stockholders' Equity has been adjusted
to reflect the investment at book value. A corresponding adjustment was

5. Revolving Lines of Credit:
--------------------------
The Company has a revolving line of credit agreement for aggregate
borrowings of up to $5,400,000. Interest is payable on all outstanding
cash advances at the bank's prime lending rate plus 1/4% (9.00% at
December 31, 1995). Any unpaid principal and accrued interest is due on
demand, but no later than March 31, 1996. The line of credit is
collateralized by accounts receivable, inventory and equipment. The
terms of the agreement require, among other provisions, that the Company
comply with requirements for maintaining certain cash flow and other
financial ratios. The Company failed to meet the cash flow coverage
ratio required under this agreement.
The Company also guaranteed a $900,000 line of credit for an affiliate.
As of December 31, 1995, $600,000 has been drawn upon the affiliate's
line of credit and $4,200,000 on the Company's line of credit.

Under the terms of certain of the above agreements, the Company is
required to comply with certain ratios and covenants. As of June 30,
1995, the Company failed to meet the cash flow coverage ratio. This
ratio is calculated on an annual basis, and therefore all amounts due
under these agreements are classified as current liabilities until the
next measurement date.

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
Item 24. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
The Certificate of Incorporation of the Company provides for the
indemnification of officers, directors, agents and employees of the Company
to the fullest extent permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State
of Delaware ("Delaware Code"). Pursuant to Section 145 of the Delaware Code,
the Company generally has the power to indemnify its present and former
directors, officers, employees and agents against expenses incurred by them
in connection with any suit to which they are, or are threatened to be made,
a party by reason of their serving in such positions so long as they acted in
good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed
to, the best interests of the Company, and with respect to any criminal
action, they had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful.
The Company has the power to purchase and maintain insurance for such persons.
The statute also expressly provides that the power to indemnify authorized
thereby is not exclusive of any rights granted under any bylaw, agreement,
vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise.
The above discussion of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation and
of Section 145 of the Delaware Code is not intended to be exhaustive and is
qualified in its entirety by such Bylaws and the Delaware Code.

Item 26. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

Item 28. Undertakings
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made,
a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after
the effective date of the registration statement (or the most
recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually
or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the
information set forth in the Registration Statement; and
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan
of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration
Statement or any material change to such information in the
Registration Statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a
new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and
the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the
initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment
any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination
of the offering.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant
has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission,
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless
in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
