NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1
The financial statements included herein have been prepared by Docucon,
Incorporated (the Company), without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations
of the Securities and Exchange Commission. However, all adjustments have been
made which are, in the opinion of the Company, necessary for a fair presentation
of the results of operations for the periods covered. Certain information and
footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or
omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes
that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not
misleading. It is recommended that these financial statements be read in
conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1998.
Certain reclassifications have been made in the prior period financial
statements to conform with the current period presentation.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make certain estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The accompanying financial statements of the Company have been prepared on the
basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern. Since its
inception, the Company has incurred cumulative net losses of approximately $9.6
million, including a loss of approximately $5.1 million during 1998. For the
quarter ended March 31, 1999, the Company had negative cash flows from operating
activities of approximately $967,000 and incurred a net loss for the same period
of approximately $1.1 million. A significant portion of the Company's historical
revenues has been earned from conversion services performed for agencies of the
U.S. Government. The Company experienced significant declines in revenues from
these agencies in 1997 and 1998, and, during 1998, provided an allowance of $1.6
million on certain unbilled revenues. There can be no assurances that the
Company will be able to maintain or increase the level of services that it has
historically provided to various governmental agencies. These matters raise
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from
the outcome of these uncertainties. The ability of the Company to continue as a
going concern is dependent upon the ongoing support of its customers, its
ability to obtain capital resources to support operations and its ability to
successfully market its services. If the Company is unable to generate positive
cash flows from operations or obtain additional capital resources, or if the
funds obtained in such efforts are not adequate to support the Company until a
successful level of operations is attained, the Company would likely be unable
to continue operating as a going concern.
While the recent operating losses are significant, management believes that it
has taken proper steps to significantly improve the Company's future operating
results. Such steps include the sale of its San Antonio office building and
repayment of substantially all of the Company's long-term debt in January 1999
and the hiring of experienced management personnel in key senior management
positions in late 1998 and early 1999. Expansion of the Company's marketing
efforts has been made to include a wide range of vertical markets and
-7-

DOCUCON, INCORPORATED
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
formal and informal partnering relationships with systems integrators, document
management software developers and others. The Company's management is also
seeking suitable financing for working capital, business expansion and other
general corporate purposes. The Company's management believes that the Company's
results from operations for 1999 are improving and will generate sufficient
working capital, along with available cash and anticipated additional capital,
to sustain its operations throughout the year. However, there can be no
assurances that the Company's efforts in the above areas will continue to
improve its operating results.
NOTE 2
Unbilled revenues-
The allowance for unbilled revenues at March 31, 1999, and December 31, 1998,
relates to conversion services performed for agencies of the U.S. Government.
The Company's ability to collect these unbilled revenues is dependent upon a
number of factors including quality control acceptance and the availability of
funding to the respective agencies. The Company was informed by a U.S.
Government customer in mid-1997 that funding for certain conversion services
being performed had been depleted. Management completed work for this customer
that had been placed in production at that time. As a result, the Company has
been unable to collect approximately $1.6 million of conversion services for
this customer, the substantial majority of which were performed during 1997. A
substantial portion of the conversion products associated with the $1.6 million
of unbilled revenues have been shipped to the customer and is in various stages
of quality control review. There can be no assurances that the customer will
accept all of the work product nor are there any assurances that sufficient
funding will be made available to enable the Company to collect the unbilled
revenues. Management of the Company, based upon its past operating history and
its ongoing discussions with various government personnel regarding the
availability of additional funding, believes that all of such unbilled revenues
totaling approximately $1.6 million represent valid assets of the Company.
However, due to the continued aging of the unbilled revenues, the Company
believed it was prudent to provide an allowance on these unbilled revenues for
the entire amount during the year ended December 31, 1998. In the event that the
Company collects any of the unbilled revenues in the future, such collections
would have a favorable impact on the Company's liquidity and capital resources
and results of operations in the period of collection. There are no assurances
that the Company will ultimately be able to collect any of the fully reserved
unbilled revenues.
On February 2, 1999, the Company contacted the Department of Defense's Voluntary
Disclosure Program Office to request admission into its Voluntary Disclosure
Program. The Voluntary Disclosure Program is intended to encourage government
contractors to voluntarily disclose potential violations of government
contracting policies and procedures. In general, companies who volunteer
information and cooperate with the government's investigation are not subject to
criminal and administrative sanctions such as suspension and debarment from
government contracting activities. Admission into the Voluntary Disclosure
Program does not protect companies from any potential civil liability the
government may assert. The Department of Defense Inspector General's preliminary
review of the Company's disclosure is complete and has resulted in favorable
consideration of its request for admission into the Voluntary Disclosure
Program. The disclosure will be formally admitted upon execution by all parties
of the Inspector General's Voluntary Disclosure Agreement.
-8-
<PAGE>
DOCUCON, INCORPORATED
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
The Company's request for admission into the Voluntary Disclosure Program was
the result of an internal review by the Company that indicated a billing
practice, with respect to certain invoices submitted during the period from
September 1996 through July 1997, that may be perceived by the government as a
technical violation of DOD billing procedures. The Company's internal review is
ongoing, but based on its investigation to date, the Company believes that the
DOD sustained no actual damages as a result of the matter disclosed by the
Company. However, the Company expects to incur legal and other out-of-pocket
costs in connection with presenting the results of its internal review and
assisting the government in its investigation, adjudication and resolution of
this matter. The Company has established a reserve for estimated legal costs and
other expenses which it believes is adequate for the resolution of this matter.
NOTE 3
Common stock and preferred stock-
Each share of the Company's preferred stock ($25,000 stated value) is
convertible into 8,333 shares of common stock and earns cash dividends of 11
percent per annum. Each share of preferred stock is entitled to vote 8,333
common shares. The Company has never paid cash dividends on its common stock and
does not anticipate the payment of cash dividends on its common stock in the
foreseeable future. The Company currently anticipates that any future earnings
will be retained to finance the Company's operations. Under the terms of the
Company's preferred stock, the Company cannot pay dividends on its common stock
until all accumulated but unpaid dividends on such preferred stock have been
paid. As of March 31, 1999, cumulative undeclared dividends on the preferred
stock approximated $164,000. In January 1999, the Company paid cash of $88,816
related to cumulative dividends on preferred stock that was converted during the
fourth quarter of 1998. As the remainder of these dividends are undeclared, they
have not been recorded as a reduction of the Company's equity. Common stock is
subordinate to preferred stock in the event of liquidation.
Treasury stock-
On June 18, 1998, the Company announced that its board of directors had
authorized the repurchase of up to 500,000 shares of the Company's common stock
in the open market. As of March 31, 1999, the Company had acquired 62,650
treasury shares for approximately $76,000. Approximately 33,333 of such shares
were reissued during 1998 in connection with the conversion of Series A
preferred stock, and approximately 24,398 shares were reissued under the
Company's Employee Stock Purchase Plan in January 1999.
Reverse stock split-
In June 1998, the Company's board of directors approved a one-for-four reverse
common stock split. Accordingly, all common stock and share information has been
adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split.
NOTE 4
Asset held for sale-
During 1998, the Company decided to sell its operations building in San Antonio,
Texas. In November 1998, the Company entered into a contract to sell the
building for an amount in excess of its net book value. Accordingly, the
carrying value of the land, building and associated improvements have been
classified as a current asset held for sale at December 31, 1998.
-9-
<PAGE>
DOCUCON, INCORPORATED
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
In January 1999, the Company sold its operations building. In connection with
the sale, the Company paid off its secured indebtedness. The Company's net cash
proceeds from the sale, net of debt repayments, approximated $800,000. The
Company has entered into a noncancelable operating leaseback of the building
through October 1999 at a rate of approximately $27,000 per month, before a
cancelable month-to-month sublease arrangement of approximately $15,000 per
month. The Company has located replacement facilities. The gain on the sale of
the building, which was not significant, has been deferred as a component of
other current liabilities on the accompanying balance sheet and is being
recognized over the term of the operating leaseback.
NOTE 5
Earnings (loss) per share-
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share,"
outlines methods for computing and presenting earnings per share. The following
table provides a reconciliation of the denominator (weighted average number of
common shares and common share equivalents outstanding) used to compute Basic
and Diluted EPS and the number of common share equivalents relating to preferred
stock that have been excluded as a result of antidilution:

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company's operations during the quarter ended March 31, 1999, resulted in a
net loss applicable to common stockholders of approximately $1,144,000 compared
to a net loss applicable to common stockholders of approximately $623,000 for
the same quarter in 1998.
Revenues were approximately $851,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1999, as
compared to approximately $613,000 for the same quarter in 1998. This increase
is primarily attributable to new contracts obtained during the first quarter
which resulted in a significant increase in production beginning in March 1999.
Production costs increased to approximately $966,000 for the quarter ended March
31, 1999, as compared to approximately $684,000 for the 1998 period due
primarily to the increased revenue levels.
Research and development costs of approximately $63,000 for the quarter ended
March 31, 1999, were comparable to approximately $68,000 of such costs in the
same period in 1998.
General and administrative expenses increased to approximately $515,000 for the
quarter ended March 31, 1999, as compared to approximately $294,000 for the same
period in 1998. The increase is primarily due to expenses associated with the
transition to new senior management and new corporate headquarters office opened
in April 1998.
Marketing expenses increased to approximately $422,000 for the quarter ended
March 31, 1999, as compared to approximately $117,000 for the same period in
1998. This increase is due to extensive new marketing efforts focused on new
business development in both the federal and commercial markets and an increase
in sales commissions attributable to higher revenue levels.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Since its inception, the Company's operations have been supplemented through
bank borrowings, capital contributions, borrowings from affiliated and
unaffiliated lenders, an initial public offering of the Company's Common Stock
in 1989, the conversion of warrants into Common Stock and private preferred
stock placements.
The Company has historically performed a significant percentage of their
conversion services for the Department of Defense (DOD) primarily through
contracts from the Defense Automated Printing Services Office (DAPS). In
December 1997, the DOD awarded a contract with a term of one year for
approximately $15.5 million of potential value. The terms of the contract
include four additional option years so that the entire contract has a potential
value of approximately $77.4 million. As of March 31, 1999, the Company had
provided approximately $1.5 million of services under this contract. The nature
of this contract is such that it establishes the Company as an approved vendor
for projects from DAPS. Since the contract in and of itself does not represent
billable production, the Company must still engage in marketing to realize
benefits under the contract.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)
The Company has an allowance for unbilled receivables at March 31, 1999, of
approximately $1.6 million. The Company was informed in mid-1997 that funding
for certain conversion services being performed under this delivery order had
been depleted. Management completed work in production on this delivery order at
that time. As a result of the loss of funding for this delivery order, the
Company has been unable to collect approximately $1.6 million of conversion
services, the substantial majority of which were performed during 1997. A
substantial portion of the conversion products associated with the $1.6 million
of unbilled revenues has been shipped to the customer and is in various stages
of quality control review. There can be no assurances that the customer will
accept all of the work product nor are there any assurances that sufficient
funding will be made available to enable the Company to collect the unbilled
revenues. Management of the Company, based upon its past operating history and
its ongoing discussions with various government personnel regarding the
availability of additional funding, believes that all of such unbilled revenues
represent valid assets of the Company. However, due to the continued aging of
the unbilled revenues, the Company believed it was prudent to provide an
allowance on these unbilled revenues for the entire amount during the year ended
December 31, 1998. In the event that the Company collects any of the unbilled
revenues in the future, such collections would have a favorable impact on the
Company's liquidity and capital resources and results of operations in the
period of collection. There are no assurances that the Company will ultimately
be able to collect any of the fully reserved unbilled revenues.
In March 1998, the General Services Administration (GSA) awarded a Federal
Supply Schedule to the Company, which is effective until September 30, 2002.
Federal Supply Schedules are centralized contracts established by the GSA for
the use of all government agencies. There are no limitations to order size or
cumulative order value under such contracts. Under the Federal Supply Schedule
awarded to Docucon, any government agency can buy a wide variety of document
conversion services directly from Docucon. The nature of this contract is such
that it establishes the Company as an approved vendor for substantially all
federal government agencies. Since the contract in and of itself does not
represent billable production, the Company must still engage in marketing to
realize benefits under the contract.
In March 1994, the Company purchased the assets and assumed certain liabilities
of J. Feuerstein Systems for approximately $0.2 million cash. In November 1997,
the Company sold the assets of the division to Bowne & Co., Inc., for
approximately $6.5 million. A total of $800,000 was placed in an escrow account
as security for certain representations and warranties made to the buyer. In
accordance with the escrow agreement, approximately $400,000 of the total in
escrow was released to the Company on November 25, 1998. The remainder was
released to the Company in May 1999. Including the escrowed funds, net cash
proceeds after expenses relating to the sale were approximately $5.7 million.
Cash proceeds were used to pay down the Company's line of credit after the 1997
year-end and to fund continuing operations. The Company invested excess proceeds
in short-term securities.
In October 1996, the Company obtained long-term financing to replace the then
existing mortgage note for its office building. The new note bore interest at a
fixed rate of 9.5 percent, payable monthly to a commercial bank and was being
amortized over a 20-year term with a 5-year maturity. The note was secured by
the Company's building, other fixed assets, accounts receivable and inventory.
Approximately $68,000 of debt issuance costs were incurred in connection with
this refinancing. In January 1999, the Company sold its operations building in
San Antonio, Texas. In connection with the sale, the Company paid off its
secured indebtedness. The Company's proceeds from the sale, net of debt
repayments, approximated $800,000. The gain on the sale of the building was not
significant.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)
Net cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 1999, were approximately $757,000.
Trade accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts were
approximately $377,000 at March 31, 1999, and unbilled revenues, net of
allowance were approximately $404,000. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities
were approximately $1.7 million at March 31, 1999. Net working capital was
approximately $151,000 at March 31, 1999.
The accompanying financial statements of the Company have been prepared on the
basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern. Since its
inception, the Company has incurred cumulative net losses of approximately $9.6
million, including a loss of approximately $5.1 million in 1998 and
approximately $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 1999. For the
year ended December 31, 1998, and the quarter ended March 31, 1999, the Company
had negative cash flows from operating activities of approximately $2.1 million
and $1.0 million, respectively. A significant portion of the Company's
historical revenues has been earned from conversion services performed for
agencies of the U.S. Government. The Company experienced significant declines in
revenues from these agencies in 1998 and 1997. There can be no assurances that
such revenues will be increased in the future. These matters raise substantial
doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of
these uncertainties. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern
is dependent upon the ongoing support of its customers, its ability to obtain
capital resources to support operations and its ability to successfully market
its services. If the Company is unable to generate positive cash flows from
operations or obtain additional capital resources, or if the funds obtained in
such efforts are not adequate to support the Company until a successful level of
operations is attained, the Company would likely be unable to continue operating
as a going concern.
While the recent operating losses are significant, management believes that it
has taken proper steps to significantly improve the Company's future operating
results. Such steps include the sale of its San Antonio office building and
repayment of substantially all of the Company's long-term debt in January 1999
and the hiring of experienced management personnel in key senior management
positions in late 1998 and early 1999. Expansion of the Company's marketing
efforts has been made to include a wide range of vertical markets and formal and
informal partnering relationships with systems integrators, document management
software developers and others. The Company's management is also seeking
suitable financing for working capital, business expansion and other general
corporate purposes. The Company's management believes that the Company's results
from operations for 1999 are improving and will generate sufficient working
capital, along with available cash and anticipated additional capital, to
sustain its operations throughout the year. However, there can be no assurances
that the Company's efforts in the above areas will improve its operating
results.
While the Company may consider and evaluate, from time to time, acquisitions and
opportunities for future growth, the Company has not entered into any agreements
with respect to future acquisitions. Should the Company enter into any such
agreements, the Company would, in all likelihood, be required to raise
additional outside capital to consummate such transactions.
On March 10, 1999, the Company received notice that it was subject to delisting
on the NASDAQ SmallCap Market System because the Company's average closing bid
price per share had not exceeded $1.00 during the prior 30-day period. The
notice provides that the Company's shares are subject to delisting 90 days after
receipt of the notice, unless the per share bid price of the Company's Common
Stock is $1.00 or greater for 10 consecutive trading days within the 90-day
period. In addition, the Company may be subject to delisting due to a failure to
meet the NASDAQ's minimum tangible net assets requirement for continued listing.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)
YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE
The efficient operation of the Company's business is dependent on its computer
software programs and operating systems (collectively, "Programs and Systems").
These Programs and Systems are used in several key areas of the Company's
business, including information management services and financial reporting, as
well as in various administrative functions. The Company has been evaluating its
Programs and Systems to identify potential Year 2000 compliance problems, as
well as manual processes, external interfaces with customers, and services
supplied by vendors to coordinate Year 2000 compliance and conversion. The Year
2000 problem refers to the limitations of the programming code in certain
existing software programs to recognize data sensitive information for the Year
2000 and beyond. Unless modified prior to the Year 2000, such systems may not
properly recognize such information and could generate erroneous data or cause a
system to fail to operate properly.
Based on current information, the Company expects to attain Year 2000 compliance
and institute appropriate testing of its modifications and replacements in a
timely fashion and in advance of the Year 2000 date change. It is anticipated
that modification or replacement of the Company's Programs and Systems will be
performed in-house by Company personnel. The Company believes that, with
modifications to existing software and conversions to new software, the Year
2000 problem will not pose a significant operational problem for the Company.
However, because most computer systems are, by their very nature,
interdependent, it is possible that noncompliant third-party computers may not
interface properly with the Company's computer systems. The Company could be
adversely affected by the Year 2000 problem if it or unrelated parties fail to
successfully address this issue. Management of the company currently anticipates
that the expenses and capital expenditures associated with its Year 2000
compliance project will not have a material effect on its financial position or
results of operations.
OUTLOOK
During much of 1998 and continuing into the first quarter of 1999, the Company
has made several changes in its senior management team and has been focused on
initiating a strategy that it believes will more fully capitalize on the
Company's core competencies in high volume, automated document conversion
services. The Company hired a new president and CEO in April 1998 and added a
new senior vice president and chief financial officer and vice president of
technology and operations in December 1998 and January 1999, respectively. In
addition, during 1998, the Company hired a senior vice president of sales and
six full-time sales professionals to focus on new business development in both
the Federal Government and commercial markets. With its existing contracts with
the DOD and the GSA, the Company believes it is well positioned to service the
Federal Government customers that have historically comprised a majority of the
Company's revenues. In addition, the Company believes that its newly developed
commercial sales force will significantly enhance its ability to penetrate
non-Federal Government markets.
The Company believes that the turnaround plan it initiated in 1998, which
included a substantial investment in a sales and marketing organization, began
to generate improved operating results late in the first quarter of 1999.
Revenues for the month of March 1999 exceeded $450,000, more than double the
average amount of monthly revenues during 1998 and the first two months of 1999.
This increase in revenues contributed to a sharp reduction in the Company's loss
from operations in the month of March 1999. The Company believes it can sustain
or increase this higher revenue level during the remainder of 1999 and into
2000.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
On February 2, 1999, the Company contacted the Department of Defense's
Voluntary Disclosure Program Office to request admission into its
Voluntary Disclosure Program. The Voluntary Disclosure Program is intended
to encourage government contractors to voluntarily disclose potential
violations of government contracting policies and procedures. In general,
companies who volunteer information and cooperate with the government's
investigation are not subject to criminal and administrative sanctions
such as suspension and debarment from government contracting activities.
Admission into the Voluntary Disclosure Program does not protect companies
from any potential civil liability the government may assert. The
Department of Defense Inspector General's preliminary review of the
Company's disclosure is complete and has resulted in favorable
consideration of its request for admission into the Voluntary Disclosure
Program. The disclosure will be formally admitted upon execution by all
parties of the Inspector General's Voluntary Disclosure Agreement.
The Company's request for admission into the Voluntary Disclosure Program
was the result of an internal review by the Company that indicated a
billing practice, with respect to certain invoices submitted during the
period from September 1996 through July 1997, that may be perceived by the
government as a technical violation of DOD billing procedures. The
Company's internal review is ongoing, but based on its investigation to
date, the Company believes that the DOD sustained no actual damages as a
result of the matter disclosed by the Company. However, the Company
expects to incur legal and other out-of-pocket costs in connection with
presenting the results of its internal review and assisting the government
in its investigation, adjudication and resolution of this matter. The
Company has established a reserve for estimated legal costs and other
expenses which it believes is adequate for the resolution of this matter.
