The Board of Directors and Shareholders
DSC Datalink Systems Corporation:

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of DSC Datalink Systems
Corporation (a company in the development stage) as of December 31, 1995 and
1994, and the related statements of operations, shareholders' deficit and cash
flows for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994 and for the period from
June 15, 1993 (date of inception) to December 31, 1995.  These 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 of the United States.  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 estimatesmade 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of DSC Datalink Systems
Corporation (a company in the development stage) as of December 31, 1995 and
1994, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended
December 31, 1995 and 1994, and for the period from June 15, 1993 (date of
inception) to December 31, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles of the United States.

                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
             (all dollar amounts in Canadian dollars)
                               ----

1.  FORMATION AND BUSINESS OF THE COMPANY:

DSC Datalink Systems Corporation, (the Company) was incorporated on June 15,
1993 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada to develop wireless information
services.  Through December 31, 1995, the Company has devoted substantially
all of its efforts to develop its product, raise capital and recruit
personnel.

2.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with
United States generally accepted accounting principles.  All amounts herein
are shown in Canadian dollars.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS:

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original
maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.  

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT:

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and
amortization.  Depreciation is provided using the declining method over the
estimated useful lives of the assets, generally two to five years.

INVESTMENT TAX CREDIT:

The Company records Canadian investment tax credits (ITC's) arising from
research and development expenditures at the time the claim is approved which
is normally in the year subsequent to the year of the claim.  

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENDITURES:

Research and development costs are charged to operations as incurred.

INCOME TAXES:

The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method.  Under this
method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the
difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and
liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the
differences are expected to affect taxable income.  Valuation allowances are
established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts
expected to be realized.

7.  SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY:

COMMON STOCK:

The Company is authorized to issue shares of common stock, of which 25,000,000
has been designated Class A common stock.  Holders of common stock are
entitled to dividends as and when declared by the Board of Directors.  The
holder of each share of common stock is entitled to one vote.

8.  INCOME TAXES:

At December 31, 1995, the significant components of the net deferred tax asset
of $238,000 comprised the Company net operating loss carryforwards.  At
December 31, 1995, the Company had Canadian federal and provincial net
operating loss carryforwards of approximately $600,000, available to offset
future regular taxable income.  The Company's Canadian federal and provincial
net operating loss carryforwards expire between 2000 and 2002, if not used
before such time to offset future taxable income or tax liabilities.  

In accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles, a
valuation allowance must be established for a deferred tax asset if it is
uncertain that a tax benefit may be realized from the asset in the future. 
The Company has established a valuation allowance to the extent of its
deferred tax assets since it is not certain that a benefit can be realized in
the future due to the Company's operating losses.

9.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS:

Effective January 16, 1996, shareholders of the Company exchanged 100% of
their shares for 100% of the shares in Datalink Systems Corporation
(Datalink), a U.S. corporation.  As a result, DSC Datalink Systems Corporation
became a wholly owned subsidiary company of Datalink Systems Corporation.

On June 27, 1996, Lord Abbott, Inc. (Abbott), a United States publicly traded
corporation, completed the acquisition of 100% of the outstanding common stock
of Datalink.  Abbott issued a total of 16,465,316 shares of its common stock
(approximately 99% of the shares now outstanding) to shareholders of Datalink
at closing.  Abbott, prior to the exchange of common stock with Datalink, had
no operations and no business activities.  For accounting purposes, the
acquisition has been treated as a recapitalization of Datalink with Datalink
as the acquiror (reverse acquisition).

Effective August 21, 1996, Datalink completed a transaction with a Canadian
corporation (the Buyer) selling the Company's technology for cash and a note.

due November 1996, and a note for $36,730,000.  The note is due December 31,
2006 and bears interest at 8% per annum.  The note is collateralized by the
technology.

Datalink and the Buyer entered into a "Management and Marketing Agreement"
dated August 21, 1996 (the Agreement).  The Agreement expires August 31, 2001,
and may be extended for two additional two year terms.  The extension of the
term will be automatic and Datalink or the Buyer during any extension can
terminate the agreement with 90 days notice to the other party.  The
significant terms of the agreement are as follows:

Datalink will receive an annual fee of 10% of "Direct Cost Marketing,
Distributing and Selling" technology related services, as defined in the
Agreement, Datalink receives an exclusive worldwide right to use, modify and
sublicense the source code for the technology, including application software,
intellectual property and documentation, Datalink has first right of refusal
in the event the Buyer desires to transfer all or part of the application
software, The Buyer will receive, commencing January 1, 1997, an annual
"owners fee" of $1,500,000, the owners fee to be applied as follows:  pay
accrued interest and the excess, if any; a) 60% of the remaining fee applied
to the note balance, and b) 40% of the remaining fee paid in cash to the Buyer
until the note is paid in full, Buyer will receive the "net revenue less
owners fee payable," as defined in the Agreement, related to the technology
sold to be applied as follows:  a) 60% of the net revenue applied to the note
balance, and b) 40% of the net revenue paid in cash to the Buyer until the
note is paid in full, and After the note is paid, the "net revenue," as
defined in the agreement, related to the technology sold to be applied as
follows:  40% of the net revenue paid in cash to the Buyer.

The cash received by Datalink will be accounted for under the provisions of
the "Emerging Issues Task Force, 88-18:  Sales of Future Revenues."  It is
expected that the owners fees and net revenue allocated to the buyer will not
be sufficient to service the note receivable principle and interest payments
due Datalink and as such the note will not be recorded.  The note is expected
to have no financial statement impact.
