                                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 June 30,
1997, the consolidated results of its operations for the nine periods ended June
30, 1997, and 1996 and statements of cash flows for the nine-month  periods then
ended.

The  accounting  policies  followed  by the  Company are set forth in the annual
report of September 30, 1996, filed on Form 10-KSB 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.

The consolidated  results of operations for the nine-month period ended June 30,
1997, are not necessarily  indicative of the results to be expected for the full
year ending September 30, 1997.

New Accounting Pronouncements

On March 3,  1997,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  (FASB)  issued
Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 128 "Earnings Per Share" (SFAS
NO. 128). This pronouncement provides a different method of calculating earnings
per share than is currently used in accordance with Accounting  Principles Board
Opinion  (APB)  No.  15,  "Earnings  per  Share."  SFAS  128  provides  for  the
calculation  of "Basic" and  "Diluted"  earnings per share.  Basic  earnings per
share  includes no dilution  and is computed  by dividing  income  available  to
common  shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
for the period.  Diluted  earnings per share reflects the potential  dilution of
securities  that could  share in the  earnings  of an  entity,  similar to fully
diluted  earnings per share. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 128 in 1998 and its
implementation  is not  expected to have a material  effect on the  consolidated
financial statements.

In June 1997,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board issue  Statement  of
Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 130, Reporting  Comprehensive  Income (SFAS
130),  which  establishes  standards for reporting and display of  comprehensive
income, its components and accumulated balances. Comprehensive income is defined
to include all changes in equity  except those  resulting  from  investments  by
owners and distributions to owners.  Among other disclosures,  SFAS 130 requires
that all items  tgat are  required  to be  recognized  under  curent  accounting
standards  as  components  of  comprehensive  jincome be reported in a financial
statement  that is  displayed  with  the  same  prominence  as  other  financial
statements.

SFAS 130 is  effective  for  financial  staements  for periods  beginning  after
December 1`5, 1997 and requires comparative  information for earlier years to be
restated.  Because of the recent issuance of this standard,  management has been
unable to fully  evaluate  the impact,  if any, the standard may have on futurer
financial statement  disclosures.  Results of operations and financial position,
however, will be unaffected by implementation of this standard.

(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-KSB for September
30, 1996.

                                       6

(3) Provision for Income Taxes

At the  beginning  of the  fiscal  year  the  Company  had  net  operating  loss
carryforwards of $2,663,000 with expirations through 2011. At June 30, 1997, the
amount  of  the  net  operating  loss  carryforward   balance  is  estimated  at
$2,340,610. 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
has recorded a valuation allowance equal to the excess deferred tax assets.

(4) Litigation

Terminated  Contracts.  As reported in the Form 10-K for September 30, 1995, and
Form 10-KSB for September 30, 1996, 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,  therefore, was received in January, 1996,
and,  accordingly,  was  recorded  in the prior  year's data  appearing  in this
report.

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  caused  the  Company  to  miss  a  required
submission  date for the testing and resulted in  termination of the contract in
1988. Vigorous litigation asserting the delay was government caused were pursued
to the Untied States  Supreme Court where the Company's  petition for certiorari
was denied in November, 1996. The Company had recorded a reserve of $521,000 for
the loss in June,  1996;  which is believed to be  sufficient  for the  possible
reprocurement  costs related to the  difference  between the Company's  contract
price and the price  incurred by DLA from the next lowest vendor as provided for
in the  Federal  Acquisition  Regulations.  The Company has filed with the Armed
Services  Board  of  Contract  Appeals  a  reinstatement  of its  appeal  of the
propriety  of the assessed  reprocurement  costs which had been held in abeyance
pending the outcome at the Supreme Court. The discovery  process has begun and a
hearing date has been set for March 28, 1998.  (See also Item 3, Legal  Matters,
and Note 5, Litigation, to the financial statements in Form 10-KSB for September
30, 1996.)

(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-KSB,
September 30, 1996.

(6) Key Man Life Insurance Proceeds.

On January 7, 1997, the Company recorded $400,000 of accounts receivable related
to the  proceeds  of two  Company  owned key man life  insurance  policies  on a
director of the Company. All proceeds were received during the current quarter.

(7) Series A, 6% Cumulative Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock.

During the current  quarter,  the holder of Series A, 6% Cumulative  Convertible
Redeemable  Preferred Stock converted its remaining 250 shares into common stock
in accordance with the issue agreement.  Accordingly, the Company issued 225,730
shares of its common  stock in  exchange  which  brought the number of shares of
convertible redeemable preferred stock down to none.

(8) Employment Agreements.

On March 28, 1997, the Company approved employment agreements for three officers
of the Company which were executed on April 1, 1997. The agreements,  were filed
as exhibits 10.6,  10.7,  and 10.8 with the Form 10-Q,  dated March 31, 1997 and
set base salary for the President & CEO, Vice President & General  Manager,  and
the Vice President - Finance & Administration of $120,000; $70,000, and $60,000,
respectively.  The agreements grant fully vested  nonqualified  stock options as
incentives  to the  officers  of  200,000;  70,000 and 70,000  respectively  and
further  grant the  officers  180,000;  50,000 and 50,000 of  performance  stock
options requiring the attainment of certain goals. The incentive and performance
options  are priced at the  Company's  NASDAQ bid price at close of  business on
January 2, 1997, which was $1.125. The employment agreements provide for certain
cash bonus payments upon meeting defined  performance  goals. The executives are

                                       7

entitled to continuation of base  compensation  for a period of three years, two
years and two years,  respectively,  if employment is terminated  for any reason
other than death, disability,  cause, voluntary resignation or the expiration of
the term of the  employment  agreement;  otherwise  termination  for the  stated
reasons results in payment of base salary, performance and incentive bonuses for
18 months, 12 months and 12 months, respectively.

(9) Subsequent Event.

On August 1, 1997 the  Company  sold 650 shares of its  Series A 6%  Convertible
Redeemable Preferred Stock for net proceeds of $547,500.  On August 4, 1997, the
proceeds were used to liquidate the SBA-held note at a discount.

(10) (Amended) Accounting for Preferred Stock convertible at a discount to the
      market.

The  statement of  operations  has been amended to give effect for a discount of
25% of the  common  stock  which  would  result  and is deemed to be  additional
dividend to the holders of the Company's 6% convertible  preferred stock sold on
November 12, 1996. The convertible  preferred  stock is convertible  into common
stock at a 25% discount to the five day average market price of the common stock
immediately  preceding  the  conversion  date  which was lower than the five day
average market price at the date of placement. This difference, $166,666, on the
first  possible date of  conversion  is an imputed  discount and is deemed to be
additional  dividend  available  to the  holders of the  preferred  stock  which
reduces  income  available to common  stock  shareholders.  Accordingly,  it was
reduced  from  cumulative  net  income to arrive at net income  attributable  to
common shareholders.



PART I, ITEM 2:  MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL  CONDITION AND
 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS  (Amended by replacement in its entirety with the 
 following information)

Financial Condition:

Liquidity.

Cash and cash  equivalents  decreased  $26,190  to  $183,447  from  $209,637  at
September  30,  1996,  primarily  as a result of cash used in  operations  which
offset cash provided by financing activities.

The Company presently has working capital of $919,407 as compared to $801,894 at
June 30, 1996,  and to $56,776 at the beginning of the fiscal year.  The primary
cause for the increase is the funding  received  during the Company's  frist and
second  quarters and the recording of a discount of $267,050  granted by the SBA
in June, 1997 for full settlement of its outstanding balance. (Final liquidation
occurred subsequent to the current quarter.) These influxes were offset by a net
use of cash of  $122,520  durinhg  the  nine-month  period  and a  reduction  of
long-term debt of $395,975.

The Company's  current ratio, the ratio of total current assets to total current
liabilities,  is 1:37as  compared to 1:38 a year ago and is improved over 1.02:1
at September 30, 1996.

Capital Resources.

During  its first  fiscal  quarter  the  Company  sold a total of 500  shares of
convertible  preferred  stock which resulted in net funding of $450,000.  During
the second  quarter it  received  the  proceeds  from  $400,000  of keyman  life
insurance policies carried on a director of the Company.

During the second fiscal quarter the Company  retained  Transition  Partners Ltd
(TPL) to advise  the  Company  in  certain  matters  and to  assist  in  capital
formation  efforts.  On August 1, 1997 the Company sold $650,000 of  convertible
preferred stock to meet the requirement for the June 3, 1997, balloon payment to
the  Small  Business  Administration.  The  stock  was sold on  August  1,  1997
resulting in net proceeds of $547,500;  on August 4, 1997 the SBA-held  note was
liquidated.

Results of Operations (Amended):

First Nine Months of Fiscal Year 1997

During the first nine months of fiscal year 1997 net sales increased by $281,812
or 7.7  percent,  over the same  period  of the  prior  year.  Cost of sales was
3,530,824,  or 89 percent of sales,  and resulted in a gross profit of $434,105,
or 11 percent of sales,  a decrease from 27 percent for same period of the prior
year.  Decrease in gross profit occurred due to increased hourly labor costs and
use of direct  labor on  indirect  overhead  activities  rather  than on revenue
producing  production in order to improve  Company  efficiency.  Sales  increase
resulted from the growing  production  requirements to meet increased  demand in
the defense industry and the receipt of new work.

General and administrative expenses of $702,705 for the current period decreased
from $771,053 a year prior and reflect  management's  actions toward eliminating
unnecessary  costs.  Other  income had an  increase  of  $389,194 as a result of
recording  proceeds of $400,000 from keyman life  insurance  policies.  Interest
expense  increased  primarily  due to  factoring  interest in  accelerating  the
receipt of life insurance  proceeds,  to  origination  points paid in renewing a
first  mortgage  note on the  Company's  real  property and to imputed  interest
expense related to capital lease of equipment.

Accrued  litigation  settlement expense decreased $521,000 from 1996 as a result
of the reserve  recorded in 1996 which did not  reoccur in fiscal  1997.  It was
related to the denial of certiorari on the third terminated  contract during the
fourth quarter of fiscal year 1996.

Third Quarter of Fiscal Year 1997.

Third  quarter  sales for fiscal 1997 of $1,427,786  increased  $193,330,  or 16
percent,  over the same quarter of the prior year. Cost of sales was $1,477,077,
or 103  percent  of sales,  and  resulted  in a gross loss of  $49,291,  or four
percent of sales  versus  gross  profit of 15 percent for the same period of the
prior year. The decrease in gross profit was  attributable  to increased  hourly
labor  costs,  slightly  tighter  margins on a contract  coming  into full scale
production and the cost of management's  activities to change  manufacturing and
ancillary activities for long-term improvement of production efficiencies.

Management  actions to stem unnecessary costs reduced general and administrative
expenses for the quarter by $119,069 or 42 percent.  Interest expense  increased
$12,732  because of  increased  interest  expense from renewal of a note for the
real property in the second quarter which was corrected during the third quarter
and from imputed interest related to capital lease of equipment.

Sales  increased  $193,330  during the quarter  over the prior  year's  quarter;
however, because of increased cost of sales, income from operations decreased by
124 percent.  On the other hand,  the Company  recorded  forgiveness  of debt of
$289,524 which resulted in net income of $44,526 or $.01 per share,  as compared
to the prior year's net loss of $633,058, or $.15 per share.

Accrued  litigation  settlement expense decreased $521,000 from 1996 as a result
of the reserve  recorded in 1996 which did not  reoccur in fiscal  1997.  It was
related to the denial of certiorari on the third terminated  contract during the
fourth quarter of fiscal year 1996.

Contract Backlog

The Company's  manufacturing  operation has active funded  contracts and awarded
work  amounting to $10.3  million as compared to an  approximately  $7.9 million
backlog with $3.6 million of uncompleted  work a year prior. The current backlog
also contains  approximately  $3.6 million of uncompleted  work.  Deliveries are
scheduled  over  the  next  32  months.  The  Company  is  aggressively  bidding
opportunities   with   defense   and  other   prime   contractors   for  defense
opportunities.  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.
