                                EXPLANATORY NOTE

         This  Amendment No. 3 (this  "Amendment")  to the  Registrant's  Annual
Report on Form 10-K filed with the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission on July
29, 1998, as  previously  amended on September 1, 1998 and February 16, 1999, is
being  filed in order to amend Item 6 of Part II and to revise  the  Independent
Auditor's  Report.  The purpose of this Amendment is to make certain  additional
revisions to the language in the last sentence of the third  paragraph of Item 6
and to delete the last paragraph of the previous  Independent  Auditor's Report.
Except as specifically  identified above the disclosures set forth herein do not
differ from those in the prior filing, as previously amended.

PART II ITEM 6.  SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA.


            The following  table sets forth the selected  financial  data of the
Company for,  and at the end of (i) the year ended  December  31,1993,  (ii) the
four  months  ended  April 30, 1993 and 1994 and (iii) the years ended April 30,
1995, 1996, 1997 and 1998.

            The Company changed its fiscal year-end from December 31 to April 30
on May 2, 1994. The financial  data presented  below for, and at the end of, the
four-month  period  ended April 30, 1993,  has been  derived from the  unaudited
consolidated  financial statements of the Company. In the opinion of management,
the financial data includes all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring
adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of such data.

            During fiscal 1999, the Company  received a letter from the staff of
the Securities and Exchange  Commission  ("the Staff")  commenting on its recent
reviews of the  Company's  Form 10-K for the years ended April 30, 1998 and 1997
and the Form 10-Q for the  quarter  ended  July 31,  1998.  The  Staff  provided
comments on certain issues including the valuation of (1) convertible  preferred
stock and  convertible  debt with  warrants,  both  with  beneficial  conversion
features,  issued  in  fiscal  1997  and (2)  assets  associated  with a  barter
transaction the Company  executed in fiscal 1998. These items do not effect cash
or cash flow nor do they  negatively  affect  the  Company's  current  or future
operations.  The  comments  related to the barter  transaction  involved  assets
associated with the Company's  discontinued  operations and not those associated
with  current  operations.  In addition,  when the bartered  assets are realized
under the Staff's  position,  they will  benefit the  Company's  fiscal 1999 and
future operating  results.  Accordingly,  and although the Company believes that
its  original  positions  were  appropriate  at the  date  of the  transactions,
management  has  amended  its  1998 and 1997  reports  (see  Note 18 of Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements).

            The  data  presented  below  should  be  read  in  conjunction  with
"Management's  Discussion  and  Analysis of Financial  Condition  and Results of
Operations" and the Company's  consolidated  financial  statements and the notes
thereto appearing elsewhere herein.

                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

To Datatec Systems, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Datatec Systems,
Inc. (a Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries (formerly Glasgal Communications,
Inc.) as of April 30, 1997 and 1998 and the related  consolidated  statements of
operations, changes in shareholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows for each of
the three  years in the period  ended April 30, 1998 (as revised - see Note 18).
These consolidated  financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management.  Our  responsibility  is to express  an  opinion on these  financial
statements based on our audits.

We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  generally   accepted  auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management,  as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated  financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Datatec
Systems,  Inc. and subsidiaries as of April 30, 1997 and 1998 and the results of
their  operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended  April  30,  1998,  in  conformity  with  generally  accepted   accounting
principles.

Our  audits  were  made for the  purpose  of  forming  an  opinion  on the basic
consolidated  financial  statements taken as a whole. The schedule listed in the
index  of  consolidated  financial  statements  is  presented  for  purposes  of
complying with the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and is not part of
the basic consolidated financial statements. This schedule has been subjected to
the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic consolidated financial
statements  and, in our  opinion,  fairly  states in all  material  respects the
financial  data  required  to be set  forth  therein  in  relation  to the basic
consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.
