            UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL DATA
                                   RELATING TO

   PROPOSAL NUMBER 1 - AUTHORIZATION OF ISSUANCE OF 4,659,080 SHARES OF COMMON
                   STOCK IN CONNECTION WITH THE ACQUISITION OF
               DIGITAL COURIER INTERNATIONAL, INC. BY THE COMPANY

                                       AND

            PROPOSAL NUMBER 4 - RATIFICATION OF REPURCHASE OF SHARES

         The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial data
is based upon the  historical  consolidated  financial  statements  of  DataMark
Holding,  Inc. and  subsidiaries  ("DataMark") as adjusted to give effect to the
issuance of common stock in connection  with the  acquistion of Digital  Courier
International,  Inc. by the Company (see  Proposal No. 1) and the  repurchase of
1,800,000  shares  of common  stock  for  $1,500,000  (see  Proposal  No. 4) and
(Proposal  No. 1) as if the  transactions  had occurred on March 31,  1998,  for
purposes of the unaudited  pro forma  condensed  consolidated  balance sheet and
July 1, 1996 for  purposes of the  unaudited  pro forma  condensed  consolidated
statements  of  operations  for the year  ended  June 30,  1997 and for the nine
months ended March 31, 1998.

         The pro forma  adjustments  are based upon  information set out in this
document  and its  attachments  and  information  from the  Company's  books and
records that management of the Company believes are reasonable and accurate. The
unaudited pro forma  condensed  consolidated  balance sheet as of March 31, 1998
and the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated  statements of operations for
the year ended June 30, 1997 and the nine months ended March 31,  1998,  are not
necessarily  indicative  of  the  results  of  operations  of  DataMark,  or its
financial position,  had the sale actually occurred on March 31, 1998 or July 1,
1996.  The  unaudited  pro forma  results of operations of DataMark for the nine
months  ended March 31, 1998 are not  necessarily  indicative  of the results of
operations  that may be generated for the entire fiscal 1998 year. The unaudited
pro forma  adjustments are described in the accompanying  notes to unaudited pro
forma condensed consolidated financial data.

         This unaudited pro forma condensed  consolidated  financial data should
be read in conjunction  with the consolidated  financial  statements of DataMark
and the related  notes thereto  included in the Company's  Annual Report on Form
10-K as of and for the  fiscal  year  ended June 30,  1997 and  included  in the
Company's  Quarterly  Report on Form 10-Q for the nine  months  ended  March 31,
1998.

                                                         ============

              Upon consummation of the Digital Courier acquisition,  the Company
              immediately   expensed   $3.7   million   representing   purchased
              in-process  technology  that  had  not yet  reached  technological
              feasibility  and has no  alternative  future use.  The  in-process
              projects were focused on the continued  development  and evolution
              of internet e-commerce  solutions  including:  netClearing and two
              virtual  store  projects  (videos and books).  The nature of these
              projects  is to provide  full  service  credit card  clearing  and
              merchant  banking  services over the Internet for  businesses  and
              financial  institutions  and to market  software to help customers
              develop  virtual  stores  on  the  Internet.  When  completed  the
              projects will enable the creation of any "virtual store" through a
              simplified interface.

              As of the date of  acquisition,  Digital Courier had invested $1.3
              million  in  the  in-process   projects   identified   above.  The
              developmental  projects  at the time of the  acquisition  were not
              technologically  feasible and had no alternative  future use. This
              conclusion was  attributable  to the fact that Digital Courier had
              not  completed a working  model that had been tested and proven to
              work at performance  levels which were expected to be commercially
              viable, and that the technologies constituting the projects had no
              alternative use other than their intended use.

<PAGE>

              Development   of   the   acquired   in-process   technology   into
              commercially   viable  products  and  services   required  efforts
              principally related to the completion of all planning,  designing,
              coding,   prototyping,   scalability  verification,   and  testing
              activities  necessary to establish that the proposed  technologies
              would  meet their  design  specifications,  including  functional,
              technical,  and  economic  performance  requirements.   Management
              estimates  that  approximately  $4.0 million will be required over
              the next 12 -18 months to develop the  aforementioned  products to
              commercial viability.

              Management  estimates  that the projects  were  approximately  50%
              complete  at the date of the  acquisition  given the nature of the
              achievements to date. These estimates are subject to change, given
              the uncertainties of the development process, and no assurance can
              be given that deviations from these estimates will not occur.

              The net cash flows resulting from the projects underway at Digital
              Courier  which  were  used to value  the  purchased  research  and
              development, are based on management's estimates of revenues, cost
              of revenues, research and development costs, selling, general, and
              administrative  costs, and income taxes from such projects.  These
              estimates are based on the assumption that the revenue projections
              are  based on the  potential  market  size that the  projects  are
              addressing,  the  Company's  ability to gain market share in these
              segments, and the life cycle of in-process technology.

              Estimated  total revenues from the purchased  in-process  projects
              peak in the fiscal years 2001-2002 and then decline rapidly in the
              fiscal years 2003-2004 as other new products are expected to enter
              the market. There can be no assurances that these assumptions will
              prove  accurate,  or that the Company will realize the anticipated
              benefit of the acquisition.  The net cash flows generated from the
              in-process  technology  are  expected to reflect  earnings  before
              interest  and  taxes,  of  approximately  35% to 48% for the sales
              generated from in-process technology.

              The discount of the net cash flows to their present value is based
              on the  weighted  average  cost  of  capital  ("WACC").  The  WACC
              calculation  produces  the average  required  rate of return of an
              investment in an operating  enterprise,  based on various required
              rates  of  return  from   investments  in  various  areas  of  the
              enterprise. The discount rates used to discount the net cash flows
              from the  purchased  in-process  technology  were 45% for  Digital
              Courier.  This discount rate reflects the uncertainty  surrounding
              the successful development of the purchased in-process technology,
              the useful life of such technology,  the  profitability  levels of
              such  technology,  if any, and the  uncertainty  of  technological
              advances, all of which are unknown at this time.

              As  evidenced  by their  continued  support  for  these  projects,
              management believes the Company is well positioned to successfully
              complete the research and development projects.  However, there is
              risk associated with the completion of the projects,  and there is
              no   steadfast   assurance   that  each  will  meet  with   either
              technological  or commercial  success.  The  substantial  delay or
              outright  failure of these eCommerce  solutions  would  negatively
              impact the Company's  financial  condition.  If these projects are
              not  successfully  developed,  the Company's  business,  operating
              results,  and financial  condition  may be negatively  affected in
              future periods. In addition,  the value of other intangible assets
              acquired may become impaired.

              To date,  Digital Courier results have not differed  significantly
              from  the  forecast   assumptions.   The  Company's  research  and
              development  expenditures  since the Digital  Courier  acquisition
              have  not   differed   materially   from   expectations.   Revenue
              contribution   from  the  acquired   technology  falls  within  an
              acceptable  range of plans in its role in the  Company's  suite of
              internet and e-commerce solutions.

(d)           Adjustment to record goodwill  amortization on $10,379,106  over a
              five year life for 1 year: ($10,379,106 x 20% = $2,075,821).

                                   RELATED TO

     PROPOSAL NUMBER 3 - RATIFICATION OF SALE OF ASSETS OF DATAMARK SYSTEMS

         The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial data
is based upon the  historical  consolidated  financial  statements  of  DataMark
Holding,  Inc. and  subsidiaries  ("DataMark") as adjusted to give effect to the
sale of certain net assets associated with its direct mail advertising  business
(see  Proposal  No.  3) as if the sale  (which  occurred  on March 5,  1998) had
occurred as of July 1, 1996 for purposes of the  unaudited  pro forma  condensed
consolidated statement of operations for the year ended June 30, 1997.

         The pro forma  adjustments  are based upon  information  set out in the
asset purchase  agreement and  information  from the Company's books and records
that  management  of the Company  believes  are  reasonable  and  accurate.  The
unaudited pro forma condensed  consolidated statement of operations for the year
ended June 30, 1997 is not  necessarily  indicative of the results of operations
of DataMark had the sale  actually  occurred on July 1, 1996.  The unaudited pro
forma adjustments are described in the accompanying notes to unaudited pro forma
condensed consolidated financial data.

         This unaudited pro forma condensed  consolidated  financial data should
be read in conjunction  with the consolidated  financial  statements of DataMark
and the related notes thereto,  included in the Company's  Annual Report on Form
10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997.

         On March 5,  1998,  DataMark  Systems,  Inc.  ("DMS"),  a wholly  owned
subsidiary  of  DataMark  Holding,  Inc.  (the  "Company")  sold its direct mail
marketing business to Focus Direct,  Inc., a Texas  corporation.  Pursuant to an
Asset Purchase Agreement,  Focus Direct, Inc. purchased all assets,  properties,
rights, claims and goodwill, of every kind, character and description,  tangible
and intangible,  real and personal,  wherever located of DMS, DataMark Printing,
Inc.  ("Printing"),  DataMark Lists, Inc. ("Lists") and WorldNow Online Network,
Inc.  (all wholly owned  subsidiaries  of the Company) used in DMS's direct mail

of DMS,  Printing,  and Lists.  Focus Direct,  Inc. is not  affiliated  with the
