                                    DCX, INC.

                                and Subsidiaries

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1) Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

The  condensed  consolidated  financial  statements  included  herein  have been
prepared by DCX, INC.  without audit,  pursuant to the rules and  regulations of
the Securities and Exchange Commission.  DCX, INC. believes that the disclosures
are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In the opinion of
management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain
all adjustments  (consisting only of normal recurring  adjustments) necessary to
present fairly the Company's  consolidated financial position as of December 31,
1995, the  consolidated  results of its operations for the  three-periods  ended
December 31, 1994,  and 1995 and  statements  of cash flows for the  three-month
periods then ended.

The  accounting  policies  followed  by the  Company are set forth in the annual
report of September 30, 1995,  filed on Form 10-K, and the audited  consolidated
financial  statements  therein  with  the  accompanying  notes  thereto.   While
management  believes the  procedures  followed in preparing  these  consolidated
financial  statements  are  reasonable,  the accuracy of the amounts are in some
respects  dependent upon the facts that will exist,  and procedures that will be
accomplished by DCX, INC. later in the year.

During  April,  1994,  the Company  formed a subsidiary  corporation,  GeoStars,
International,  Inc. which in turn subsequently formed two subsidiary  operating
corporations  to provide  products  and services in the  geographic  information
services  (GIS)  arena.  Accordingly,  these  quarterly  consolidated  financial
statements  represent the consolidated  results of operations.  All intercompany
balances and  transactions  have been  eliminated  in the  consolidation  of the
financial statements.

The consolidated results of operations for the three-month period ended December
31, 1995, are not  necessarily  indicative of the results to be expected for the
full year ending September 30, 1996.

(2) Accounts Receivable

Accounts  receivable  contain amounts computed under the cost-to-cost  method to
determine  percentage  of completion as described in the Form 10-K for September
30, 1995. A portion of the total amount of  receivables  represents  unrecovered
costs and estimated  profits  subject to future  negotiation  and represented by
certain portions of a settlement proposal and related claim asserted against the
Department of Defense for contracts terminated by the Government (See Note 10 to
the financial  statements  accompanying  the Form 10-K and Note 4, below).  Such
receivables  amounted  to  $197,467  at  December  31,  1995 and  $1,702,009  at
September 30, 1995 as compared to $2,062,550 at December 31, 1994.

(3) Provision for Income Taxes

   
At the  beginning  of the  fiscal  year  the  Company  had  net  operating  loss
carryforwards  of $2,053,000 with expirations  through 2010. At December,  1995,
the  amount of the net  operating  loss  carryforward  balance is  estimated  at
$1,928,439. The Company expects to incur a minimal amount of alternative minimum
tax for the fiscal year.  Since the Company is unable to determine that deferred
tax assets exceeding tax liabilities are more likely than not to be realized, it
will record a valuation  allowance  equal to the excess  deferred  tax assets at
fiscal year end.

(4) Terminated Contracts

As reported in the Form 10-K for September 30, 1995, the Company and the Defense
Logistics Agency (DLA) agreed to a final settlement in November, 1995, on two of
three terminated contracts. The last partial payment,  therefor, was received in
January, 1996.

A third  contract  with DLA  required  the Company to design,  develop  test and
manufacture  light  sets to a  specified  schedule.  Testing  of the  lights was
subcontracted;  scheduling  delays  resulting from a higher priority  Government
contract  caused the  Company  to miss the  contractually  required  date for an
environmental test report by three days. Federal  regulations require a delivery
date extension equal to the Government caused delay. The contract was terminated
for default by the Government in July,  1988. The Company  asserted in July 1991
hearings  the  termination  for  default  was  erroneous  as  it  resulted  from
Government  caused delays in testing and,  therefor,  the termination  should be
characterized  as for the convenience of the Government.  The Company received a
decision from the ASBCA holding for the Government.  The Company filed an appeal
before the U.S.  Court of Appeals for the Federal  Circuit;  oral arguments were
presented on February 7, 1996. Were the Company not to prevail,  it could record
a loss of approximately $521,000. Neither of the possible results is recorded in
the  financial  statements  as the  ultimate  outcome  cannot be  determined  at
present.

See also the more detailed explanation of terminated contracts in Note 10 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements for September 30, 1995, as filed on Form 10-K.

(5) Lease Obligations

The Company  leases various  equipment  under capital leases that expire through
June 2000 as noted in Note 7 to the Financial Statements in Form 10-K, September
30, 1995.

(6) Amended Information

   
During an internal review,  the Company  discovered  errata which  inadvertently
suppressed  revenue required to be recognized in the Company's  previously filed
quarterly financial statements under percent of completion accounting principles
for certain work in process.  Materiality of the  understated  revenue  requires
filing of this amended  quarterly  report.  All text changed  since the original

PART I, ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Financial Condition:

Liquidity.

Final negotiations related to two terminated  Government contracts were recently
concluded.  (See  Form  10-K,  Item 3,  Legal  Proceedings,  and Item 7, MD & A,
Liquidity) As a result the Company received three payments in final  settlement,
the last of which  arrived  during  January,  1996.  A third  contract  was also
appealed;  it is now in the U.S.  Court of  Appeals  where oral  arguments  were
recently heard. (See Note 4, above.)

Cash and marketable  securities  increased $209,832 to $335,676 from $125,844 at
September  30,  1995,  as a  result  of  payments  received  for the  terminated
contracts.  The increase  resulted  primarily  from cash provided by operations,
$451,826 while cash was used for debt reduction payments $248,993.

   
The  Company  presently  has  working  capital  of  $1,090,926  as  compared  to
$1,488,720 at December 31, 1994,  and to $952,817 at the beginning of the fiscal
year.  The primary causes for the decrease from a year ago are payments on notes
payable of  $694,404,  offset by the  Company's  income of $124,561  during that
period and settlement proceeds received. The decrease in accounts receivable was
used as  noted,  as well as to lay in  materials  for the  Company's  increasing
contract backlog.

The Company's  current ratio, the ratio of total current assets to total current
liabilities,  increased  to 1.72:1  which  compares  to 1.63:1 a year ago and is
improved over 1.41:1 at September 30, 1995.
    

Capital Resources.

Until fiscal year 1993 the Company's  primary  source of liquidity  historically
consisted of cash flow from  operations.  During  fiscal years 1993 through 1996
the  Company  received  reimbursements  of from the two  successfully  litigated
terminated  contracts  in the form of a number of partial  payments  against the
settlement proposals.  As a result of final negotiations  concluded with Defense
Logistics  Agency,  the Company has received the remaining amounts of the agreed
settlement.

   
Subsequent to this  quarter,  the Company  completed a  refinancing  of its real
property mortgage and reduced monthly cash payments by $6,000. This is the first
phase of its refinancing  efforts and provides an interim period during which it
expects to secure permanent  financing to consolidate its real property mortgage
and the note  payable  which  matures  on June 3,  1996.  The  Company  recently
received  notification  that it qualifies for the second phase of the financing.
The Company's  mortgage  financing  advisor is confident of completing the phase
two  consolidation  in a timely  manner.  See also the  "Going  Concern  Issues"
caption under Item 7, MD & A, Liquidity, of Form 10-K.

The Company entered into a definitive  agreement to purchase  substantially  all
the assets and  liabilities of  Westinghouse  Landmark GIS, Inc., a wholly owned
subsidiary  of  Westinghouse  Electric  Corporation,  on January 11, 1996.  (See
"Major Asset Purchase Agreement" caption under Item 7 of Form 10-K). In order to
raise funds for the $2.4 million purchase price which is due at closing, and for
both  Landmark  and Company  manufacturing  working  capital  requirements,  the
Company issued a private  offering  memorandum for the sale of its securities on
February 7, 1996. The offering period has been extended several times and is now
scheduled for an initial  closing date of March 29, 1996. On March 20, 1996, the
purchase  agreement between the Company and Westinghouse  terminated because the
Company had not obtained  sufficient  funds to pay the purchase price.  Seller's
representatives  notified  the Company  that failure to close is a breach of the
purchase agreement and they reserve the right to pursue a claim for damages. The
sellers  orally advised the Company they would seek other  potential  purchasers
and that they would also  consider  any further  offers from the Company for the
purchase.

The Company's  long-term  liquidity  requirements may be significant in order to
implement  its plans.  While the Company is confident the funds will be secured,
there can be no guarantee the efforts will be successful.

Results of Operations:

First Quarter of Fiscal Year 1996.

   
During the first quarter of fiscal year 1996 net sales increased by $425,325, or
89 percent,  over the same period of the prior year. Cost of sales was $608,013,
or 68  percent of sales,  and  resulted  in a gross  profit of  $296,298,  or 32
percent of sales,  increased from 24 percent of sales for the same period of the
prior year.  While some decrease in gross profit  occurred due to learning curve
associated  with  complex  new  products  in certain  new  contracts,  lay-in of
materials  raised it to the higher  level.  Sales  increases  during the current
fiscal year resulted from  restructuring  in the defense  industry causing prime
contractors to outsource more work.
    

General and Administrative expenses of $232,698 for the current period decreased
$121,774 from a year ago and reflect the control  efforts of management  and the
curtailment of nonproductive GIS  subsidiaries.  After factoring out acquisition
expenses  of  $49,509,  G & A  expenses  amount to  $183,189.  Interest  expense
increased  because  of  capital  lease  imputed  interest  costs  this  quarter;
investment  income  increased as a result of increased  cash balance on hand. In
liquidating  a $287,826  note balance  related to the  terminated  contracts the
Company recorded a discount of $87,826 as forgiveness of debt.

Restricted  cash and accrued  litigation  settlement  both decreased to nil as a
result of the release of a bond  (posted by the Company to  indemnify a Director
of the Company) to a former employee. The release resulted from a final decision
on a case which was pending  before the Colorado  Court of Appeals.  The finding
was for the plaintiff and the expense had been recorded in a prior year.

First Quarter of Fiscal Year 1995.

During the first quarter of fiscal year 1995 net sales increased by $171,298, or
56 percent, over the same quarter of the prior year. Cost of sales was $292,331,
or 61  percent of sales,  and  resulted  in a gross  profit of  $186,657,  or 39
percent of sales which compares favorably to gross profit of 27 percent of sales
for the same period of the prior year.  the  increase  was  attributable  to the
increased volume of production during the current quarter.

General and  administrative  expenses for the quarter  reflected  the effects of
funding the development stage  subsidiaries.  While G & A expenses had increased
$236,557 over the same period of the prior year, approximately $164,228 resulted
from financial  support  developing the  subsidiaries.  After factoring out this
amount,  G & A expenses  related to  manufacturing  operations  would  amount to
$117,915, or a decrease of almost 30 percent from the prior year. While interest
expense has decreased  slightly,  investment  income decreased by $6,594,  or 69
percent from the prior year because of decreased  amounts of cash and marketable
securities on hand.

While sales  increased  during the quarter as compared to the same period of the
prior year, the Company  experienced a net loss of $177,899,  or $.05 per share.
Of this  amount,  approximately  $153,678,  or $.04  per  share,  resulted  from
activities related to the GIS subsidiaries resulting in a loss per share of $.01
from activities comparable to the prior year's first quarter.

Contract Backlog

   
The Company's  manufacturing  operation has active funded  contracts and awarded
work  amounting to $8.1 million at the filing of this amended report as compared
to an approximate  $5.4 million backlog with $4.2 million of uncompleted  work a
year  prior.  The  current  backlog  contains   approximately  $7.4  million  of
uncompleted work of which  approximately $.5 million is unfunded.  Deliveries on
funded orders are scheduled over the next 40 months.

The Company is aggressively  bidding  opportunities  with prime  contractors for
defense  opportunities  and sends its technical  staff to meet  personally  with
program managers in order to more  competitively  meet their  requirements.  The
Company is confident  that during the ensuing year these projects will result in
additional  orders as during the past  fiscal  year.  In  addition,  the Company
continues to be invited to bid on more projects with new and existing customers.
