                    INFORMATION TO BE INCLUDED IN THE REPORT

Item 5. Other Events.

     A. Restructuring of lending relationship.

     Delta Computec Inc. (the "Registrant") announced that on October 10, 1996,
it had restructured its principal lending relationship whereby a portion of the
loan to the Registrant from National Canada Finance Corp ("NCFC") was purchased
by Joseph M. Lobozzo II ("Lobozzo"), and the balance of the loan from NCFC to
the Registrant was restructured as a term loan (collectively, the entire
transactions are referred to as the "NCFC Restructuring"). The documents whereby
the NCFC Restructuring was accomplished are referred to as the "NCFC
Restructuring Documents", copies of which are annexed to this Report as Exhibits
12 through 32 The description of the NCFC Restructuring is qualified in its
entirety by the NCFC Restructuring Documents. Lobozzo is a director, officer,
principal shareholder and controlling person of the Registrant.

     The loan from NCFC to the Registrant and to the Registrant's wholly-owned
subsidiary, Delta Data Net, Inc. ("Data Net"), which was also guaranteed by the
Registrant's wholly-owned subsidiary, SAI/Delta, Inc. ("SAI/Delta") (the
"Existing NCFC Loan"), was made pursuant to a loan agreement originally executed
on April 1, 1994, which original agreement has been amended five time
thereafter. (See Item 7, paragraphs (c)(A) and (c)(C), and Exhibits 1 and 2 to
this Report).

     As previously reported in the Registrant's Form 8-K Current Report filed
March 21, 1996, on March 8, 1996, Data Net terminated its business operations
and voluntarily surrendered Data Net's collateral to NCFC so that NCFC could
liquidate that collateral and apply the proceeds of the liquidation to reduce
the indebtedness owing from Data Net to NCFC (the "Data Net Business
Termination"). NCFC completed that liquidation resulting in the application of
$122,182.10 to the Data Net obligation to NCFC. A document relating to the
amount of proceeds from the sale of the Data Net collateral which were applied
to the Data Net obligation to NCFC, is filed as Exhibit 31 to this Report. The
documents relative to the Data Net Business Termination including a Forbearance
Agreement between the Registrant, Data Net and NCFC (the "Forbearance
Agreement") were filed with the March 21, 1996, Form 8-K Current Report (the
"Data Net Business Termination Documents"). (See Item 7, paragraph (c) (B) to
this report).

     Following the Data Net Business Termination, the Registrant, Data Net,
SAI/Delta and Lobozzo entered into a series of six amendments to the Forbearance
Agreement, and to the other Data Net Business Termination Documents, which six
amendments extended from time to time the Forbearance Period (as defined in the
Forbearance Agreement) and otherwise adjusted certain other terms upon which
NCFC continued to make loans to the Registrant. Following the execution of
Amendment No. 6 to the Credit Agreement dated September 9, 1996, NCFC issued
three additional letters further extending the Forbearance Period until,
eventually, October 10, 1996. The six amendments to the Forbearance Agreement
(but not each Release and Indemnification Agreement, Reaffirmation of Guaranty
by SAI/Delta, and Reaffirmation of Subordination by Lobozzo, each of which were
required to be confirmed by the respective parties as of the date of each
amendment to the Forbearance Agreement; (See Item 7, paragraphs

                                                                   Page 2 of 228

(c)(B)(c), (c)(B)(d) and (c)(B)(f) to this Report), and the three subsequent
extension of time letters, are annexed to this Report as Exhibits 3 to 11
(collectively, the "Forbearance Amendments").

                                                                   Page 3 of 228

     The Existing NCFC Loan, as amended by the Forbearance Agreement and the
Forbearance Amendments, as that Existing NCFC Loan existed immediately prior to
the NCFC Restructuring, provided the Registrant with the ability to borrow up to
a maximum of $2,200,000 subject to the Registrant complying with certain
borrowing base requirements. Following, and as part of, the NCFC Restructuring,
Lobozzo purchased from NCFC, and NCFC assigned to Lobozzo (See Exhibit 12 to
this Report), a principal portion of the Existing NCFC Loan in the amount of
$1,449,815.99, together with additional interest costs and expenses requiring a
payment by Lobozzo to NCFC of $1,544,661.10. Lobozzo purchased this portion of
the Existing NCFC Loan at face value, without discount. (See Exhibits 22 and 23
to this Report). Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement between
the Registrant and Lobozzo and the Amended and Restated Promissory Note (See
Exhibits 25 and 26 to this Report), Lobozzo granted to Registrant a loan (the
"Lobozzo Loan") whereby: (a) Lobozzo agreed to increase the maximum amount which
the Registrant could borrow from Lobozzo to $2,550,000; (b) Lobozzo decreased
the interest rate which the Registrant was required to pay from the amount
charged by NCFC which was 2 percent over prime rate (and an increased rate of 4
percent over prime rate in the event of maturity of the Existing NCFC Loan; with
rates of 3 percent over prime rate in the event NCFC ever permitted an
overadvance of funds in excess of the Existing NCFC Loan and a rate of 5 percent
over prime rate in the event of a maturity of an overadvance of funds) to 1 3/4
percent over prime rate with regard to the entire Lobozzo Loan, with a rate of 3
3/4 percent over prime rate in the event of a maturity of the Lobozzo Loan; (c)
Lobozzo agreed to supply the Lobozzo Loan for a period of 60 days with an
intention to review the Lobozzo Loan during that period to possibly extend it
for a longer period of time as opposed to the Existing NCFC Loan as to which
NCFC had agreed to forebear with regard to collection efforts, which Forbearance
Period expired on October 10, 1996; (d) Lobozzo agreed to restructure the
borrowing base to permit the registrant to borrow up to 105% of eligible
receivables from the previous maximum amount of 80% of eligible receivables; (e)
Lobozzo removed certain financial covenant obligations of the Registrant as to
which the Registrant had been in default under the Existing NCFC Loan; and (f)
Lobozzo agreed to take a reduced security position from that which NCFC had
under the Existing Loan Agreement, by entering into an Intercreditor Agreement
with NCFC (Exhibit 14 to this Report), whereby NCFC, with regard to the Term
Loan (as hereinafter defined), retained a first security position relative to
the Registrant's "Spare Parts Inventory" and Lobozzo, with regard to the Lobozzo
Loan, received by the Assignment (Exhibit 12 to this Report) and by an Amended
and Restated General Security Agreement (Exhibit 27 to this Report) a security
interest subordinated to NCFC with regard to the Registrant's Spare Parts
Inventory and a first security interest in all other assets of the Registrant.
Lobozzo received a security interest in the Registrant's assets (subject to the
Intercreditor Agreement) by the Amended and Restated General Security Agreement
(See Exhibits 27 and 30 to this Report).

     The balance of the Existing NCFC Loan was converted by NCFC to a five year
term loan in the face amount of $750,000 (the "Term Loan" by an Amended and
Restated Promissory Note (See Exhibit 13 to this Report). The Term Loan provides
for interest at one percent over prime rate and requires payment of interest
only for the five years of the Term Loan with a payment of all principal five
years after the date of issuance of the Term Loan. The Term Loan provides that
if any prepayment of the Term Loan is made during the thirteenth through the
thirty-sixth months, a Quarterly Prepayment Premium (as defined in the NCFC
Note) of $25,000 per quarter (up to a maximum of $200,000) is required to be
paid by the Registrant. No prepayment premium is required for a prepayment prior
to the thirteenth month or after the thirty-

                                                                   Page 4 of 228

sixth-month. The Term Loan is secured by the Spare Parts Inventory of the
Registrant pursuant to an Amended and Restated Security Agreement (See Exhibit
15 to this Report).

     As an inducement to NCFC to enter into the NCFC Restructuring, Lobozzo,
pursuant to a Pledge Security Agreement (See Exhibits 16 through 20 to this
Report): (a) pledged to NCFC 480,000 common shares of the Registrant owned by
Lobozzo (the "Pledged Shares") in his own name; and (b) agreed to use his
reasonable best efforts to cause the Registrant to issue to NCFC before October
10, 1999, a warrant to be approved by the shareholders of the Registrant (the
"DCI Warrant"), to the effect that when the common shares covered by the DCI
Warrant are added to the Pledged Shares, NCFC would have the right to own
seventeen and one-half percent (17.5%) of the issued and outstanding common
shares of the Registrant. In the event Lobozzo is unable to cause the Registrant
to issue the DCI Warrant, Lobozzo agreed to assign to NCFC a portion of an
existing option which was issued to Lobozzo in May, 1995 to purchase up to
11,440,475 common shares of the Registrant (the "1995 Lobozzo Option", See Item
7, paragraph (c)(A) to this Report), which option to be assigned to NCFC (the
"NCFC Option"), when added to the Pledged Shares, would also enable NCFC to
purchase up to seventeen and one half percent (17.5%) of the issued and
outstanding common shares of the Registrant. The total amount of common shares
which NCFC may ever be entitled to receive pursuant to the aggregate of the
Pledged Shares and the DCI Warrant or the NCFC Option, are referred to in the
Pledge Security Agreement as the "NCFC Shares". Lobozzo also granted to NCFC a
Limited Non-Recourse Guaranty and Suretyship Agreement (See Exhibit 21 to this
Report).

     In the event the Term Loan is repaid in full prior to the thirteenth month
of the Term Loan, the Pledged Shares would be returned to Lobozzo (and, if ever
issued, the DCI Warrant would be cancelled, or, if ever issued, the assignment
of the NCFC Option would be cancelled). During the period from the thirteenth
month through the end of the thirty-sixth month of the Term Loan, the Term Loan
can be repaid, in whole or in part, but the Quarterly Prepayment Premiums
referred to above, will be applicable. In the event of a partial prepayment of
the NCFC Note at any time prior to the end of the thirty-sixth month, subsequent
Quarterly Prepayment Premiums will be reduced on a pro rata basis, and the total
amount of NCFC Shares to which NCFC will have acquisition rights will also be
reduced proportionately.

     If: (a) a default is ever made in payments required under the NCFC Note;
(b) Registrant fails to have, as of the last day of any month, a certified ratio
of Registrant's Spare Parts Inventory to the then outstanding principal amount
of the NCFC Note of at least 2.5 to 1; (c) Lobozzo ever declares an event of
default under his agreements with the Registrant; (d) Registrant raises capital
in an equity offering and does not remit fifty percent (50%) of the proceeds of
such an offering to NCFC to reduce the then outstanding Indebtedness (as defined
in the NCFC Note) of Registrant to NCFC; or (e) certain other events of default
as specified in the NCFC Note occur, in all events after certain applicable cure
periods, then, if any such event occurs, NCFC shall be entitled to acquire
immediately and to dispose of all NCFC Shares. In addition, if the NCFC Note is
not paid in full by the end of the thirty-sixth month after its issuance, NCFC
shall also be entitled to acquire immediately and to dispose of, all NCFC Shares
(subject in each instance to the provisions of the Pledge Security Agreement).


     Management of the Registrant intends to call a shareholder meeting which
will provide for the election of directors of the Registrant and which will
address the issues raised by

                                                                   Page 5 of 228

the NCFC Restructuring including, but not limited to, taking such action as is

Warrant (in the form attached as Exhibit 17 to this Report).
