Farmington Hills, MI 48331 New York, NY 10004
(248) 489-8700 (212) 271-8550
Dear Data Systems Shareholder:
We are pleased to send you this proxy statement/prospectus for a
special meeting of shareholders of Data Systems Network Corporation to be held
on August 9, 2000, at 10 a.m. local time, at our headquarters located at 34705
W. 12 Mile Road, Suite 300, Farmington Hills, Michigan.
At the special meeting, you will be asked to approve the proposed
merger of Data Systems with and into TekInsight Services, Inc., a wholly-owned
subsidiary of TekInsight. If the merger is approved, you will exchange your Data
Systems common stock for a new class of TekInsight Series A convertible
preferred stock that will have an aggregate dollar value of between $12.5
million and $18 million, depending on the average market value of TekInsight
common stock as quoted on The Nasdaq SmallCap Market for the 10 consecutive
trading days immediately prior to the closing date of the merger. We expect the
closing date will be one to two days after the special meeting.
Because the exact price will be determined after the meeting date, we
cannot tell you today, and you will not know when you vote, what the exact value
of your Series A preferred stock will be. However, if the closing of the merger
were July 10, 2000 the average market value for TekInsight common stock over the
prior 10 days would be $2.78, the aggregate merger consideration would be $12.5
million, each share of Series A preferred stock you receive would be valued at
$6.95 per share, and you would receive 0.32 shares of Series A preferred stock
for every share of Data Systems common stock you own. You may call
1-800-544-2086 for a daily update on this information.
The proposed merger was negotiated on an arms' length basis. Although
not required, the board of directors of each of Data Systems and TekInsight
believed it would be helpful to engage its own independent financial advisor and
obtain an opinion regarding the fairness of the merger consideration from a
financial perspective. Data Systems engaged Valuation Counselors Group, Inc. and
TekInsight engaged Valuemetrics, Inc. as their independent financial advisors.
Valuation Counselors delivered their opinion to us, and Valuemetrics delivered
their opinion to the board of directors of TekInsight, that the merger
consideration is fair from a financial perspective. Your board of directors
unanimously recommends that you vote "FOR" the merger.
Shareholders of Data Systems have appraisal rights under Michigan law,
which are explained in detail beginning on page __ of this proxy
statement/prospectus.
Whether or not you plan to attend the special meeting, please complete
the enclosed white proxy card, sign it, and return it to us so that your vote
will be counted. Not returning the enclosed white proxy card and not voting at
the meeting will have the same effect as voting against the merger. Your proxy
can be revoked either by attending the special meeting and voting in person or
by sending us a properly executed later-dated proxy card.
An investment in TekInsight involves material risks. Please carefully
read "Risk Factors" beginning on page __ of this proxy statement/prospectus.
Sincerely,
Michael W. Grieves

TO BE HELD ON AUGUST 9, 2000
------------------------------
To the Shareholders of Data Systems:
We will hold a special meeting of the shareholders of Data Systems on
August 9, 2000, at 10 a.m., local time, at our headquarters located at 34705 W.
12 Mile Road, Suite 300, Farmington Hills, Michigan to consider and vote upon a
proposal to adopt the agreement and plan of merger among TekInsight.Com, Inc.,
its wholly-owned subsidiary, TekInsight Services, Inc., and Data Systems.
Under the merger agreement, shareholders of Data Systems will receive
their proportionate share of TekInsight Series A convertible preferred stock
that will have an aggregate dollar value of between $12.5 million and $18
million depending on the average market value of TekInsight's common stock as
quoted on the Nasdaq Small Cap Market for the 10 consecutive trading days
immediately prior to the closing date of the merger. Accordingly, if the merger
occurred on July 10, 2000 based upon 5,558,878 shares of Data Systems common
stock outstanding on that date, the Series A preferred stock received would be
valued at $6.95 per share. You would receive 0.32 shares of Series A preferred
stock for every share of Data Systems common stock you own. Cash will be paid
for fractional shares.
We do not expect to transact any other business at the special meeting.
The record date for the special meeting is July 13, 2000. Only
shareholders of Data Systems of record at the close of business on the record
date are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the special meeting and any
adjournments or postponements.
We cannot complete the merger unless the agreement and plan of merger
is adopted by a majority of the outstanding shares held by shareholders of Data
Systems.
The board of directors of Data Systems unanimously recommends that you
vote "FOR" the merger proposal.
Shareholders of Data Systems have appraisal rights under Michigan law,
which are explained in detail beginning on page ___ of this proxy

Dear TekInsight Stockholder:
We are pleased to announce that the board of directors of
TekInsight.Com, Inc. and Data Systems Network Corporation have each unanimously
approved the merger of Data Systems with and into TekInsight Services, Inc., our
wholly-owned subsidiary.
You will be asked to approve two proposals at a special meeting of
stockholders of TekInsight to be held on August 9, 2000, at 10 a.m. local time,
at the law offices of Nixon Peabody LLP, located at 437 Madison Avenue, 24th
Floor, New York, New York 10022, in connection with the proposed merger of
TekInsight Services and Data Systems.
We are soliciting your approval pursuant to Nasdaq Rule 4310 which
requires Nasdaq-listed companies to obtain stockholder approval before issuing
20% or more of their common stock or securities convertible into common stock in
connection with a transaction other than a public offering. This would include
the Series A preferred stock to be issued to shareholders of Data Systems in the
merger. The issuance of shares of our Series A preferred stock in the merger
will exceed the 20% threshold.
We are also soliciting your approval to amend our 1992 employee stock
option plan to increase the number of shares of common stock reserved for
issuance under the 1992 plan from 500,000 shares to 2,000,000 shares. The
purpose of the increase is to cover future option grants to our officers,
directors, key employees and consultants.
The board of directors of TekInsight unanimously recommends that you
vote "FOR" both proposals.
Whether or not you plan to attend the special meeting, please complete,
sign and date the enclosed blue proxy card, and return it to us so that your
vote will be counted. Your proxy can be revoked either by attending the special
meeting and voting in person or by sending us a properly executed later-dated

This proxy statement/prospectus contains "forward-looking statements"
for purposes of Section 27A of Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These forward-looking statements may involve
risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results of TekInsight and Data
Systems to be materially different from future results or performance expressed
or implied by such statements. These statements may be identified by the use of
words such as "expect," "anticipate," "project," "intend," "believe" and "plan."
Factors that could contribute to such differences are discussed under "Risk
Factors," "Information About TekInsight" and "Information About Data Systems."
Shareholders of Data Systems should rely only on the information
contained in this prospectus. TekInsight has not authorized anyone to provide
you with different information. TekInsight is not making an offer of these
securities in any jurisdiction where the offer or sale is not permitted. You
should not assume that the information contained in this prospectus is accurate

Q&A ABOUT THE MERGER
Q: Why are TekInsight and Data Systems proposing to merge?
A: TekInsight provides advanced Internet, eCommerce and computer network
products, and professional services solutions that include XML streaming
technology.
Data Systems provides computer network integration and data management
services in the distributed computing marketplace. Data Systems also
provides a wide range of network integration services including
installation, consultation, technical support and training to
governmental and corporate accounts.
TekInsight believes that the merger will give TekInsight access to the
superior sales and distribution channel of Data Systems to accelerate
market penetration for its products.
Q: Why are shareholders of Data Systems receiving this document?
A: This proxy statement/prospectus is the proxy statement of Data Systems
used by its board of directors to solicit approval of the merger by
shareholders of Data Systems. It is also the prospectus of TekInsight
covering the offer and sale of the Series A preferred stock to be issued
in exchange of Data Systems common stock in the merger.
Q: Are there any risks that shareholders of Data Systems should consider in
deciding whether or not to vote for the merger?
A: An investment in TekInsight involves material risks. In evaluating the
merger, please carefully consider the factors discussed in the section
entitled "Risk Factors" beginning on page __.
Q: What will shareholders of Data Systems receive in the merger?
A: In exchange for Data Systems shares, shareholders of Data Systems will
receive a new class of TekInsight Series A preferred stock. The merger
consideration will be between $12.5 million and $18 million, depending
upon the average market value of TekInsight's common stock as quoted on
The Nasdaq SmallCap Market for the 10 days immediately prior to the
closing date of the merger.
Because the value of the merger consideration depends on the trading
price of TekInsight stock after the date of the special meeting of Data
Systems, you will not know the exact value of your shares at the time
you vote.
The merger consideration is described in detail under "Merger
Consideration" beginning on page __. We currently expect the value of
the merger to be $12.5 million, or $2.25 per share of Data Systems
common stock, respectively. You may call 1-800-544-2086 for a daily
update on this information.
Q: What are the material federal income tax consequences of the merger to
shareholders of Data Systems?
A: In the opinion of tax counsel, the merger will be a tax-free
reorganization.
Q: What do I need to do now?
A: If you are a Data Systems shareholder, after you carefully read this
proxy statement/prospectus, indicate on the enclosed white proxy card
whether you are voting "FOR or "AGAINST" the merger or will "ABSTAIN"
from voting. Sign and mail the white proxy card to us in the enclosed
white prepaid return envelope as soon as possible.
Do not send in your Data Systems certificates now. Wait until the
exchange agent contacts you with instructions. Then, send your Data
Systems certificates to the exchange agent and the exchange agent will
send you your Series A preferred stock. The exchange agent is:

(212) 936-5100
Q: What do I do if I want to change my vote?
A: You may change your vote:
o by sending a written notice stating that you would like to revoke your proxy
to the corporate secretary of Data Systems before the special meeting;
o by signing a later-dated proxy card and returning it by mail before the
special meeting; or
o by attending the special meeting and voting in person.
Q: If my broker holds my shares in "street name," will my broker vote my
shares for me?
A: If you do not provide your broker with instructions on how to vote your
shares held in "street name," your broker will not be permitted to vote
them at the special meetings. Broker non votes and abstentions have the
same effect as a vote "AGAINST" the merger. If you want to vote "FOR"
the merger, be sure to provide your broker with instructions on how to
vote your shares.
Q: When do you expect to complete the merger?
A: We are working to complete the merger as quickly as possible. We expect
to complete the merger within one to two days of obtaining approval of
shareholders of Data Systems at their special meeting.
Q: Where can I find more information about the companies.
A: TekInsight and Data Systems each file reports with the SEC. You may read
and copy this information at the SEC's public reference facilities. Call
the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330 for information about these facilities. This
information is also available at the Internet Web site of the SEC at
www.sec.gov.
Q: Whom should I call with questions?
A: Data Systems and TekInsight shareholders should direct questions to
Katrina Kostes, TekInsight's Communications Director, at (212) 271-8550.
Q: Are stockholders of TekInsight required to approve the merger?
A: No. Stockholders of TekInsight are not required to approve the merger.
However, as part of its corporate governance rules, in a transaction
other than a public offering, Nasdaq requires that stockholders of
Nasdaq listed companies approve issuances of 20% or more of certain
securities which would have a dilutive effect. Accordingly, TekInsight
is soliciting stockholder approval to issue the Series A preferred stock
in the proposed merger which is convertible into 20% or more of its
currently outstanding shares of its common stock. TekInsight is also
soliciting stockholder approval to increase the number of shares of
common stock reserved for issuance under its 1992 employee stock option
plan.

Neither shareholders of Data Systems nor stockholders of TekInsight

Revocability of Proxy
You may change your vote by attending the meeting and voting in person.
You may also change your vote by sending us a later dated properly executed
replacement proxy card.
Proposal 1--Approval of the Merger by Shareholders of Data Systems
TekInsight proposes to exchange a new class of its Series A preferred
stock for Data Systems common stock and merge Data Systems with and into
TekInsight Services, a wholly-owned subsidiary of TekInsight. To accomplish
this, shareholders of Data Systems are being asked to consider and vote upon a
proposal to approve the agreement and plan of merger dated as of February 18,
2000, as amended on April 4, 2000 and June 28, 2000, among TekInsight,
TekInsight Services and Data Systems.
The board of directors of Data Systems has unanimously approved the
merger. It recommends that shareholders of Data Systems vote "FOR" approval of
the merger.
Vote Required for Approval of Merger by Shareholders of Data Systems
On the record date 5,558,878 shares of Data Systems common stock were
issued and outstanding and held by approximately 2,285 beneficial owners.
Michigan law and the bylaws of Data Systems require that the merger be approved
by a majority of the outstanding shares of Data Systems common stock entitled to
vote.
Effect of the Merger
If a majority of the outstanding Data Systems shares of common stock
are voted to approve the merger, and all required conditions are satisfied or
waived, the merger will be completed and Data Systems will be merged with and
into TekInsight Services. TekInsight Services will be the surviving company.
Each share of Data Systems common stock will be exchanged for the merger
consideration. The status of Data Systems as a public company will be
terminated.
Effective Time of the Merger; Closing Date of the Merger
If the merger proposal is approved by the shareholders of Data Systems,
and the Nasdaq Rule 4310 proposal is approved by the stockholders of TekInsight,
then the merger will be completed upon filing the required documents with the
appropriate offices in the State of Delaware and the State of Michigan. The
closing of the merger is expected to occur one to two days after the
satisfaction or waiver of all material conditions of the merger agreement,
including obtaining the requisite shareholder approval. No conditions are
expected to be waived. No federal or state regulatory approvals are necessary.
The closing will be held at the offices of Nixon Peabody LLP, counsel for
TekInsight, or at such other time and place as the parties agree.
Accounting Treatment
The merger will be accounted for as a purchase. This means that after
the merger the combined results of operations of Data Systems will be included
in the consolidated results of operations of TekInsight. For purposes of
preparing consolidated financial statements, the purchase price, including the
fees and other costs of TekInsight associated with the merger at the date of
completion will be allocated to the assets and liabilities of Data Systems based
on their fair market values, with the excess allocated to goodwill to be
amortized over the estimated economic life of the assets.

<PAGE>
Conditions to the Merger; Termination Provisions (Page ___)
Completion of the merger is subject to a number of customary conditions
including approval of the merger by shareholders of Data Systems, obtaining an
opinion of special tax counsel regarding federal income tax matters, and
obtaining the approval by stockholders of TekInsight of the issuance of the
Series A preferred stock pursuant to Nasdaq Rule 4310. It is a condition to
completion of the merger that the Series A preferred stock issued to
shareholders of Data Systems be listed on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market under the
symbol "TEKSX." The merger may also be terminated for a number of reasons
including by mutual consent of both companies, if the merger is not completed by
September 15, 2000, if the market value of TekInsight common stock falls below
$2.00 per share for the 10 consecutive trading days prior to the closing date,
or if 5% or more of the shareholders of Data Systems exercise their dissenters'
rights.
Merger Consideration (Page ___)
The Series A preferred stock to be issued in the merger will have a
dollar value of between $12.5 million and $18 million, depending on the average
market value of the underlying TekInsight common stock as quoted on the Nasdaq
SmallCap Market for the 10 consecutive trading days immediately prior to the
closing date:
If the Market Value of TekInsight Then the Total Value
Common Stock Quoted on the Nasdaq of the Merger
SmallCap Market on the Closing Date Is: Consideration Will Be:
--------------------------------------- ----------------------
Less than $5.00 per share................. $12.5 million
Between $5.00 and $7.00 per share......... $16 million
Over $7.00 per share...................... $18 million
Because this exact price will be determined after the meeting date, we
cannot tell you today, and you will not know when you vote, what the exact value
of the merger or the Series A preferred stock will be. However, if the closing
of the merger were July 10, 2000, the average closing price of TekInsight common
stock as quoted on The Nasdaq SmallCap Market for the prior 10 days would be
$2.78. Under the merger agreement, the total value of the merger consideration
would be $12.5 million. Based upon 5,558,878 shares outstanding as of July 10,
2000, your Data Systems common stock would be valued, at $2.25 per share and the
exchange ratio would be 0.32:1.
While the value of the merger consideration will be determined as
described above, the actual number of shares of Series A preferred stock that
you would receive will be determined by dividing a 1:1 exchange ratio of Data
Systems common stock for Series A preferred stock by a divisor determined on the
following basis:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
If the closing bid price per share
of TekInsight common stock as reported on the
Nasdaq SmallCap Market for the trading date
immediately preceding the closing date is: Then the divisor will be:
---------------------------------------------- -------------------------
<S> <C>
$3.50 or less per share 2.5
Greater than $3.50 but equal or less than $4.50 per share 1.5
Greater than $4.50 per share 1
</TABLE>
The divisor simply determines the number of Series A preferred stock to
be issued, and assures that the Series A preferred stock will be subject to an
initial bid price of at least $4.00 per share in order to satisfy The Nasdaq
Stock Market listing requirements. The divisor does not affect the value of the
merger consideration you receive. You will still receive your pro rata portion
of the merger consideration. Upon conversion of the Series A preferred stock
into TekInsight common stock, the number of shares of Series A preferred stock
to be converted will be multiplied by the same divisor that was used to convert
Data Systems common stock into the Series A preferred stock. Multiplying the
number of Series A shares to be converted by the divisor will cause the holder
of the Series A shares to receive a greater number of shares of TekInsight
common stock than Series A preferred stock while still maintaining the same pro
rata value had the conversion ratio of Data Systems common stock to Series A
preferred stock to TekInsight common stock been 1:1:1. For example, in the
example using an exchange ratio of 0.32:1 resulting from a divisor of 2.5, you
would receive .32 shares of Series A preferred stock for each share of Data
Systems common stock. Upon conversion of the Series A preferred stock into
TekInsight common stock, you would receive a number of shares of TekInsight
common stock equal to the number of your Series A preferred stock multiplied by
2.5.

<PAGE>
Over the 60 days prior to July 10, 2000, TekInsight common stock closed
at a high of $3.84 and a low of $2.25. For 46 days out of such 60 days, the
TekInsight common stock closed at less than $5.00 per share. TekInsight
therefore believes the value of the merger consideration will likely be $12.5
million. We expect the exchange ratio to be approximately 0.32 and the divisor
to be 2.5. The actual merger consideration received by you may be higher or
lower. Shareholders of Data Systems may receive a daily update on this
information by calling 1-800-544-2086.
Share Ownership of Data Systems Management (Page ___)
Officers and directors of Data Systems beneficially own 20.6% of the
outstanding common stock. Michael W. Grieves, President and Chief Executive
Officer of Data Systems, and Gregory D. Cocke, a founder of Data Systems
(together representing 19.1% of the outstanding shares of Data Systems) have
entered into lock-up agreements with TekInsight and, accordingly, have agreed to
vote their shares "FOR" the merger. Mr. Cocke is not an affiliate of Data
Systems. The votes of Mr. Grieves and Mr. Cocke are not by themselves sufficient
to assure that the merger will be approved.
Interests of Directors and Officers in the Merger (Page ___)
Officers and directors of Data Systems may have interests in the merger
that are different from, or in addition to, yours. Data Systems does not,
however, believe that any of these interests presents a material conflict of
interest.
Fairness Opinions by Financial Advisors of Data Systems and TekInsight
(Page ___ and Page ____ )
TekInsight is not an affiliate of Data Systems. The proposed merger was
negotiated on an arms' length basis. Although not required, the board of
directors of each of Data Systems and TekInsight believed it would be helpful to
engage its own independent financial advisor and obtain an opinion regarding the
fairness of the merger consideration from a financial perspective. Data Systems
engaged Valuation Counselors, and TekInsight engaged Valuemetrics, as its
independent financial advisor. Valuation Counselors delivered its opinion to us,
and Valuemetrics delivered its opinion to the board of directors of TekInsight,
that the merger consideration is fair from a financial perspective. Both the
Valuemetrics fairness opinion and the Valuation Counselors fairness opinion are
described in detail in this proxy statement/prospectus.
Management of TekInsight after the Effective Date of the Merger (Page ___)
The officers of TekInsight before the merger will be the officers of
TekInsight after the merger. The board of directors of TekInsight immediately
prior to the merger (with the addition of Michael W. Grieves and Walter J.
Aspatore), will be the initial board of directors of TekInsight after the
merger.
Material Federal Income Tax Consequences (Page ___)
In the opinion of Nixon Peabody LLP, special tax counsel to TekInsight,
and Bodman, Longley & Dahling LLP, special tax counsel to Data Systems, the
merger will be a tax-free reorganization under Section 368(a)(2)(D) of the
Internal Revenue Code.

<PAGE>
Comparison of Shareholder Rights (Page ___)
The rights of Series A preferred stockholders are determined by
Delaware law, by the Series A preferred certificate of designations, and by
TekInsight's certificate of incorporation and bylaws. The rights of Series A
preferred stockholders are similar to the rights of shareholders of Data Systems
but differ in a number of respects. Please review these differences carefully.
Dissenters' Rights (Page ___)
If you are a Data Systems shareholder, you have appraisal rights with
respect to your shares of Data Systems stock under Michigan law as described in
Sections 761 through 774 of the Michigan Business Corporation Act which are
attached as Appendix A to this joint proxy statement/prospectus. In order to
exercise appraisal rights you must be a holder of record of Data Systems shares
on the date that you make your written demand for appraisal, continuously hold
your shares through the effective date of the merger, deliver a written demand
for appraisal to Data Systems prior to the vote on approval of the merger, and
not vote "FOR" approval of the merger or deliver an unmarked proxy. A Data
Systems shareholder voting by proxy who desires to preserve his or her appraisal
rights must either vote "AGAINST" approval of the merger or "ABSTAIN" from
voting. Written demands should be addressed to Data Systems Network Corporation,
34705 W. 12 Mile Road, Suite 300, Farmington Hills, Michigan 48331, Attention:
Secretary. Voting "FOR" or delivering an unmarked proxy, will, unless revoked
prior to the vote on approval of the merger, constitute a waiver of your
appraisal rights and will nullify any previous written demand for appraisal
submitted by you. The full text of Section 761 through Section 774 of the
Michigan Business Corporation Act is attached as Appendix A to this proxy
statement/prospectus.
Per Share Market Price Information of Data Systems and TekInsight (Page ___)
TekInsight common stock is traded on The Nasdaq SmallCap Market under
the symbol "TEKS." Data Systems shares are traded in the over-the-counter market
under the symbol "DSYS." The following table presents trading information for
TekInsight common stock and Data Systems common stock on February 17, 2000 and
July 7, 2000. February 17, 2000 was the last full trading day before our
announcement of the signing of the merger agreement. July 7, 2000 was the last
practicable trading day for which information was available before the date of
this proxy statement/prospectus.

Proposal 2--Approval by TekInsight stockholders for TekInsight to Issue 20% or
More of its Convertible Securities Pursuant to Nasdaq Rule 4310 (Page ___)
Nasdaq Rule 4310 requires that TekInsight obtain stockholder approval
by a majority of shares cast on the proposal at the special meeting prior to
issuing 20% or more of its common stock or securities convertible into common
stock, which would include the Series A preferred stock to be issued to
shareholders of Data Systems in the merger. Since more than 20% of TekInsight's
common stock may be issued or reserved for issuance on conversion of the Series
A preferred stock, TekInsight's board of directors is soliciting stockholder
approval for this issuance. The TekInsight board of directors unanimously
recommends that its stockholders vote "FOR" this proposal.

<PAGE>
Proposal 3--TekInsight Approval to Increase the Number of Authorized Shares of
Stock Reserved Under TekInsight's 1992 plan. (Page ___)
The board of directors of TekInsight is required to obtain stockholder
approval by a majority of shares cast on the proposal at the special meeting to
amend the 1992 plan to increase the number of shares of common stock reserved
for issuance under the 1992 plan from 500,000 shares to 2,000,000 shares.
Options to purchase 500,000 shares have already been issued under the 1992 plan.
This increase is necessary to cover future stock option grants to officers,
directors, key employees and consultants of TekInsight. The TekInsight board of
directors recommends that the stockholders of TekInsight vote "FOR" this
proposal.
Persons Making the Solicitation
This solicitation of approval of the merger from shareholders of Data
Systems is being made by the board of directors of Data Systems. The
solicitation of the proposal to issue the Series A preferred stock pursuant to
Nasdaq Rule 4310 and amend the 1992 plan is being made by the board of directors
of TekInsight. Each company will bear it own costs of solicitation, estimated to
be less than $5,000 for each company.

Comparative Per Share Data
Shown separately below are the net loss and book value per common share
data for TekInsight on a historical basis, for TekInsight on a pro forma
consolidated basis, for Data Systems on a historical basis and for TekInsight on
a pro forma consolidated basis per Data Systems equivalent share. The pro forma
data are based on the assumption that the average market value as quoted on the
Nasdaq Small Cap Market for the 10 days immediately prior to the closing date of
the merger is below $5.00 per share, resulting in an aggregate merger
consideration of $12,500,000, and therefore 2,500,000 equivalent shares of
Series A preferred stock being issued to Data Systems common shareholders. The
equivalent shares of Series A preferred stock represent the total number of
TekInsight common stock shares into which the Series A preferred stock could be
converted, based upon the assumed market value of TekInsight common stock. The
data are also based on the assumption that all the shares of Series A preferred
stock are converted into shares of common stock of TekInsight.
The unaudited pro forma consolidated data below are for illustrative
purposes only. The companies may have performed differently had they been
combined at the assumed dates. Do not rely on this information as being
indicative of the historical results that would have been achieved had the
companies been combined at the assumed dates or of the future results that
TekInsight will experience after the merger.

financial statements of TekInsight and Data Systems, the related notes, and the

1) The TekInsight pro forma consolidated net loss per common share is
calculated by dividing the total of the TekInsight weighted average shares
outstanding and the assumed conversion of 2,500,000 equivalent Series A
preferred shares being issued to Data Systems common shareholders into
common stock of TekInsight at the beginning of the respective periods.
2) The TekInsight pro forma consolidated book value per share is calculated by
dividing the pro forma consolidated stockholders' equity by the total
number of TekInsight common shares outstanding and assumes the conversion
of 2,500,000 equivalent Series A preferred shares being issued to Data
Systems common shareholders into common stock of TekInsight.
3) The TekInsight pro forma consolidated per Data Systems equivalent per share
data amounts are calculated by multiplying the TekInsight pro forma
consolidated common share data by the assumed equivalent exchange ratio and
conversion ratio of .453784417.

RISK FACTORS
An investment in TekInsight involves material risks. Carefully consider
all of the risks described in this section and elsewhere in this prospectus.
Additional risks that we are not presently aware of or that we currently
consider immaterial may also adversely affect our business.
Because the merger consideration is based on the average trading price of
TekInsight's common stock for the 10 days prior to the closing (one to two days
after the special meeting of Data Systems), we cannot tell you today and you
will not know when you vote, what the value of the merger consideration will be
at the time that you vote.
The total value of the merger is based upon the average closing price
of TekInsight common stock for the ten days immediately preceding closing as
quoted on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market. Since the closing will not occur until one
to two days after the special meeting, you will not know when you vote what the
exact value of the merger or the Series A preferred stock will be. We expect,
however, that the aggregate merger consideration will be $12.5 million.
The $2 million termination fee payable by Data Systems if the merger agreement
is terminated may discourage other companies from trying to acquire Data
Systems.
In the merger agreement, Data Systems has agreed to pay a termination
fee of $2 million to TekInsight in specified circumstances where a third party
agrees to acquire Data Systems. Even though the board of directors of Data
Systems may terminate the merger agreement if required to meet its fiduciary
duties, this termination fee could discourage other companies from trying to
acquire Data Systems even if they would propose terms that are superior to the
terms of this merger. Payment by Data Systems of the termination fee could also
have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of Data Systems and
its results of operations.
We may not achieve the cost savings and sales increases that we expect to result
from the integration of TekInsight and Data Systems.
Data Systems provides sales and marketing channels and experience that
we do not have. The merger will not be successful unless Data Systems can
increase sales of our existing products. The success and timing of Data Systems
in realizing increased sales depends on the quality and speed of the integration
of TekInsight and Data Systems. Data Systems may not realize the cost savings
and sales increases that it anticipates following completion of the merger as
fully or as quickly as it expects. Although we expect synergies to result from
the merger, management did not commission a formal analysis of synergies and did
not attempt to quantify anticipated synergies. We cannot assure you that
synergies will result.
TekInsight will face technical, operational and strategic challenges as a result
of the merger that may prevent it from successfully integrating with Data
Systems.
The integration of Data Systems will be a complex, time-consuming and
expensive process and may disrupt our business. Following the merger, TekInsight
Services and Data Systems must operate as a combined organization using common
information and communication systems, operating procedures, financial controls
and human resources practices. TekInsight and TekInsight Services may encounter
substantial difficulties, costs and delays involved in integrating the
operations of Data Systems including:
o potential incompatibility of business cultures;
o perceived adverse changes in business focus;
o difficulties in integrating products and services;
o the loss of key employees or clients; and
o diversion of the attention of management from other ongoing
business concerns.

The integration of operations and technologies following the merger may
distract management of both companies from day-to-day business, the development
or acquisition of new products, services and technologies, and the pursuit of
other business acquisition opportunities. Successful integration of the sales
and marketing departments of the two companies will require TekInsight's sales
and marketing personnel to learn about the products, services and technologies
of Data Systems.
We have lost money on our operations since inception, and we expect to lose more
money during the next several years.
As of March 31, 2000, we had an accumulated deficit of $8,579,063. We
may continue to incur net losses and negative cash flow during the next several
years whether or not we consummate the merger. Our ability to generate profits
and positive cash flow will depend in large part on our obtaining enough
customers for our services and products to offset the costs of marketing and
staffing our professional services business and developing the software products
that we sell. To the extent that we cannot achieve operating profitability or
positive cash flows from operating activities, our business will be adversely
affected.
Failure to obtain additional funding would limit our ability to expand our
business.
Following completion of the merger, we expect to incur significant
expense during the next several years to expand the number of proprietary
products that we develop for public sale and increase research and development
and sales and marketing personnel to further develop products and services and
increase sales of products and professional and electronic commerce services. We
also expect to incur significant expense in connection with the acquisition of
businesses that either augment our existing product lines or extend us into new
product lines. Actual costs may be more. We will need significant additional
capital to complete this product and service expansion and for any additional
acquisitions. We cannot assure you that we can raise sufficient capital to
follow through with our plans. To the extent that we cannot, our growth and
prospects will be limited and our stock price may suffer.
If we are not able to manage our growth and changing operations, our business
will be adversely affected.
Our ability to grow depends, in part, upon our:
o successfully implementing our strategy;
o evaluating markets;
o securing financing; and
o hiring and retaining qualified personnel.
In addition, as we increase our service and product offerings and
expand our sales and marketing expenses, we will have additional demands on our
customer support, sales and marketing, administrative, research and development
resources. In order to manage growth and change effectively, we must implement
and improve our operational systems, procedures and controls on a timely basis.
If we cannot effectively manage our growth and implement and improve these
systems, our business and results of operations will be adversely affected.

Acquisitions and joint ventures could strain our business and resources.
If we acquire additional companies or businesses, or enter into joint
ventures, we may be subject to:
o miscalculation of the value of the acquired company or joint
venture;
o diversion of resources and management time;
o difficulties in integration of the acquired business or joint
venture with our operations;
o damage to customer relationships as a result of changes in
management;
o additional liabilities or obligations as a result of the
acquisition or joint venture; and
o additional financial burdens or dilution incurred with the
transaction.
Our quarterly financial results are subject to significant fluctuations.
Our quarterly revenues, expenses and operating results may fluctuate
significantly due to a number of factors, including:
o change in demand for our products;
o size and timing of significant orders and when they are filled;
o our ability to develop and upgrade our technology;
o changes in our level of operating expenses and unexpected
expenses;
o our ability to compete in a highly competitive market; and
o undetected software errors and other product quality problems.
We depend on a limited number of customers for our revenues.
We have derived substantially all of our revenues since 1998 from a
limited number of customers, including large financial institutions, independent
software vendors, or ISVs, and customers entering into electronic commerce. To
compete in this market, we believe that we must devote substantial resources to
expanding our marketing and advertising, to continuing product development, and
to diversifying. Our operating revenues have increased over the last two years
but our operations have not produced net income to date. Net income has resulted
solely from the sale of securities and the nonrecurring sale of our former
operating business. Therefore, unless we increase sales, it is unlikely that we
can achieve net income in the future.
Our products and services are subject to rapid technological change.
The market for our products and services is characterized by rapid
technological change, frequent new product introductions, short product life
cycles, changes in customer demands and evolving industry standards. Our
products and services could be quickly rendered obsolete if new products are
introduced or new industry standards emerge and we fail to adapt quickly. We
rely on our relationships with Microsoft and attempt to coordinate our product
offerings with the future releases of its operating systems.
We also believe that operating system software vendors, particularly
Microsoft and Novell, could enhance their products to include functionality that
we currently provide in our products. If these vendors include our software
functionality as standard features of their operating system or other software,
our products could quickly become obsolete. Even if the functionality of the
standard software features of these vendors is more limited than ours, there is
a substantial risk that a significant number of customers would elect to keep
this limited functionality rather than purchase additional software.
The market for the professional services and the electronic commerce
services provided by our subsidiaries are fragmented and characterized by few
barriers to entry. Competitors include ISVs such as IBM and Microsoft (who are
also customers of ours) and consulting firms such as Andersen Consulting. Many
of these companies have much greater resources than we do, making it difficult
for us to compete.

<PAGE>
Client/server computing environments and the Internet are inherently
complex and continually developing. New products and product enhancements can
require long development and testing periods, which depend significantly on our
ability to hire and retain or contract with increasingly scarce technically
competent personnel. Our ability to provide highly technical professional
services related to the Internet and LAN management are similarly constrained.
Significant delays in new product releases, or in hiring the necessary
technically skilled personnel, could seriously damage our business. We have, on
occasion, experienced delays in scheduled introduction of new products. We
cannot be sure that such delays will not occur again.
To be successful, we must enhance existing products, develop and
introduce new products, satisfy customer requirements for our products and
services and achieve market acceptance. We cannot be sure that we will
successfully identify new product opportunities and develop and bring new
products to market in a timely and cost-effective manner. Further, the products,
capabilities or technologies developed by others may render our products or
technologies obsolete or shorten their life cycles. Similarly, we cannot be sure
that we will be able to provide the right professional and electronic commerce
services at the right price in the future. To the extent that we cannot do so,
our business will be adversely affected.
Loss of key personnel would adversely affect us.
Our success depends largely on the efforts of our executive officers,
in particular, Alexander Kalpaxis, President of TekInsight Services and Chairman
of the Board and Chief Technology Officer of TekInsight. We have an employment
contract requiring Mr. Kalpaxis to continue his employment through October 2001.
The loss of the services of one or more of our key individuals or the failure to
attract and retain additional qualified personnel could adversely affect our
business. We do not maintain key man life insurance policies on any of our
executive officers.
There is no assurance our intellectual property rights can be protected.
We rely on a combination of trademark, trade secret, patent, and
copyright laws and contractual restrictions to protect our technology. These
legal protections provide only limited protection. We may not be able to detect
unauthorized use or take appropriate steps to enforce our intellectual property
rights. Litigation is expensive regardless of the outcome, diverts management
resources and may not be adequate to protect our business in any event. We also
could be subject to claims alleging infringement by third-parties of their
intellectual property rights. In addition, we may be required to indemnify our
distribution partners and end-users for similar claims made against them. Any
claims against us could require us to spend significant time and money in
litigation, pay damages, develop non-infringing intellectual property or acquire
licenses to intellectual property that is the subject of the infringement
claims.
Our investments in other companies may not be successful.
We may continue to make investments in companies with technologies,
services or products that we find attractive. We may have difficulty integrating
the personnel and operations, technology, services or products acquired through
these acquisitions. Acquisitions can disrupt our ongoing business, distract
management and other resources and make it difficult to maintain our standards,
controls and procedures. We may also lose all or a part of our investment if
these businesses fail.
Undetected software errors may damage our business reputation.
Our software products are complex and may from time to time contain
undetected bugs or errors, particularly when first introduced or when new
versions or enhancements are released. Despite testing, we cannot be sure that
bugs or errors will be discovered in our products before we commence commercial
shipping. Undetected bugs or errors could result in adverse publicity, loss of
customer confidence, delay in market acceptance or claims against us, any of
which could adversely affect our business.
-15-
<PAGE>
We face risk of product liability claims.
Our agreements with customers typically contain provisions intended to
limit liability claims. These limitations may not preclude all potential claims,
however. Liability claims could require us to spend significant time and money
in litigation or to pay significant damages. As a result, any claims against us,
whether or not ultimately successful, could adversely impact our business and
damage our reputation.
Our stock price is volatile which presents an additional litigation risk.
The market price of our common stock is sometimes volatile. Trading
volume is sometimes low. In the past, companies that have experienced volatility
in the market price of their stock have been the object of securities class
action litigation in the event of a drop in market price. If we were to become
the object of securities litigation, it could result in substantial costs and
diversion of management resources.
Security breaches could expose us to a risk of loss, litigation and possibly
liability.
Although we are not aware of any attempts by hackers to penetrate our
network security, there is no assurance that security breaches will not occur in
the future. A person able to penetrate our network security could misappropriate
our proprietary information or that of our clients, or cause interruptions in
our operations, which may adversely affect our business. We may be required to
spend significant amounts of money to protect us against the threat of security
breaches or to alleviate problems caused by security breaches, which could be
expensive. Concerns over the security of Internet transactions and the privacy
of users may also inhibit the growth of the Internet as a means of conducting
commercial transactions.
Our electronic commerce services business would be adversely affected if
Internet service were interrupted due to hardware, software, telecommunications
or other breakdowns.
Our operations may be interrupted if the computer hardware or software
owned by us, our clients or by service providers upon whom we depend (including
Internet service providers) are damaged or prevented from operating. To the
extent that we experience temporary or permanent business interruptions, whether
due to a casualty or an operating malfunction, our business is adversely
affected. If interruptions happen often enough, loss of customer confidence may
adversely affect our business; and if such interruptions result from general
Internet service deprivations, the loss of generalized confidence in Internet
operability may adversely affect our business that is specifically targeted at
electronic commerce.
We may be liable for online content provided by third parties.
The law of the Internet is uncertain and is changing. We may face
potential liability for defamation, negligence, copyright, patent or trademark
infringement and other claims based on the nature and content of the materials
that appear on Web sites that we host through our subsidiaries. Claims of this
type have been successfully prosecuted from time to time. Liability could be
material.
Government regulation of Internet communications may influence our business.
We currently are not subject to direct regulation by any governmental
agency, other than regulations applicable to business generally. However, in the
future we could become subject to specific industry regulation by regulatory
agencies. Changes in the regulatory environment could have a material adverse
impact on our business and financial condition.

If our stock becomes subject to the SEC's "penny stock" rules it could become
more difficult to buy and sell our stock, which may adversely impact our trading
market.
Continued quotation of our common stock in the Nasdaq SmallCap Market
is conditioned upon continuing to meet Nasdaq eligibility requirements. In
addition, if the trading price of TekInsight common stock remains below $5.00
per share, sales of common stock would be subject to Rule 15g-9 under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, applicable to "low price stocks," which imposes
additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers making sales of
low-priced stock to the public. For transactions covered by this rule, a
broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination respecting each
purchaser and have received each purchaser's written consent to the transaction
prior to sale. If TekInsight fails to meet Nasdaq's eligibility requirements or
sales of our common stock become subject to Rule 15g-9, the ability of holders
to sell their common stock in the secondary market could be adversely affected.
A sale of a significant number of our shares may adversely impact us.
Sales of substantial amounts of TekInsight common stock (including
shares issued upon the exercise of warrants or stock options), or the perception
in the market that such sales could occur, could adversely affect the market
price of TekInsight common stock and could also impair our ability to raise
capital through an offering of our equity securities in the future. The merger
agreement exchange ratio and the conversion formula combine to effectively
provide for a conversion ratio of Data Systems common stock to TekInsight common
stock of 1:1. Therefore, assuming exercise of all outstanding convertible
securities, and a market price of $4.99 per share for our common stock used to
determine the number of Series A preferred stock to be issued to shareholders of
Data Systems, we would have 22,136,172 shares of common stock outstanding, of
which 17,243,277 will be transferable without restriction under the Securities
Act. The remaining 7,941,242 shares of common stock to be outstanding on
completion of the merger are "restricted securities" under Rule 144. Restricted
Securities may be publicly sold only if registered under the Securities Act, or
if sold pursuant to an applicable exemption and in compliance with Rule 144.
Under Rule 144, assuming satisfaction of other conditions, a person, including
an affiliate of TekInsight, who has beneficially owned restricted securities for
at least one year is entitled to sell within any three-month period up to the
greater of 1% of the total number of outstanding shares of the same class or,
since our common stock is quoted on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market, the average
weekly trading volume during the four calendar weeks preceding the sale. A
person who has not been an affiliate of TekInsight for three months and who has
beneficially owned the restricted securities for at least two years, is entitled
to sell such restricted shares under Rule 144 without regard to any of the
limitations described above.

BACKGROUND OF THE MERGER
Background of the Merger
In March 1998, the board of directors of Data Systems determined that
it would seek to enhance shareholder value. Data Systems subsequently entered
into a merger agreement with Information Architects Corp, then named Alydaar
Software Corporation, on January 31, 1999. That agreement was mutually
terminated on September 15, 1999 and a press release announcing the termination
was issued by both companies.
On September 16, 1999, Robert Arnold of Amtech, Inc., a business merger
and acquisition firm, saw the notice of termination and contacted Michael W.
Grieves, Chief Executive Officer of Data Systems. Mr. Arnold wanted to introduce
TekInsight to Data Systems in order to discuss a possible merger. TekInsight,
then named Tadeo Holdings, Inc., was in the process of changing its business. It
had been in the medical services business but had sold its medical services
business in 1998 and acquired AstraTek, a privately held technology development
and professional services company. TekInsight wanted to combine TekInsight
Services' technology, professional services and new electronic commerce
capabilities with the sales, support, and infrastructure of Data Systems to
create a leading Internet technology and services company.
Mr. Arnold was invited to address the board of directors by conference
call at a Data Systems board of directors meeting on September 30, 1999. Mr.
Arnold addressed Data Systems board of directors and discussed a framework for a
possible transaction. The Data Systems board of directors agreed that Mr. Arnold
should pursue a possible transaction with TekInsight. On October 4, 1999,
TekInsight representatives faxed to Mr. Grieves an outline of a proposal letter.
Mr. Grieves, Chief Executive Officer of Data Systems, subsequently met
with Mr. Alexander Kalpaxis, at the time Executive Vice President and Chief
Technology Officer of TekInsight, and Mr. Damon Testaverde, a member of the
TekInsight board of directors, on October 14 and 18, 1999 to discuss the
strategic advantages of combining TekInsight and Data Systems, and a possible
transaction of some type. Data Systems continued to have discussions with
TekInsight representatives, along with other interested parties, throughout the
end of the year.
During the end of 1999 and into January 2000, TekInsight, Data Systems
and their respective representatives discussed the terms of a possible
transaction between the parties and each party conducted due diligence. On
January 12, 2000 TekInsight proposed a valuation that was in excess of Data
Systems' then current market value. Mr. Grieves agreed to present the TekInsight
proposal to the board of directors of Data Systems. On January 14, 2000, the
board of directors of Data Systems discussed the TekInsight proposal and
determined that it was superior to other tentative proposals under consideration
due to its superior valuation, its potential for increasing in value as
TekInsight stock price increased and its definitiveness.
The letter of intent was authorized by the TekInsight board of
directors on January 14, 2000. On January 18, 2000, the parties executed a
letter of intent and issued a joint press release announcing the merger.
During February 2000, the parties and their respective advisors
continued their due diligence and negotiated the terms of a definitive merger
agreement. In addition, Data Systems engaged Valuation Counselors, and
TekInsight engaged Valuemetrics, to evaluate and render a written opinion on the
fairness of the merger consideration from a financial perspective to the
shareholders of each company, respectively. Valuation Counselors presented the
Data Systems board of directors with its fairness opinion on February 8, 2000.
The board of directors, along with the management, of Data Systems,
convened by conference call in a special meeting of the board of directors on
February 17, 2000 to consider the merger agreement. Mr. Jansen, Chief Financial
Officer of Data Systems, led the discussion of the possible merger transaction.
After discussion and analysis of the possible merger transaction and the
fairness opinion, the board of directors of Data Systems unanimously approved
the merger agreement and recommended its approval by the shareholders of Data
Systems.
-18-
<PAGE>
On February 16, 2000, Valuemetrics presented its fairness opinion at a
special meeting of the board of directors of TekInsight. At that meeting, the
board of directors of TekInsight voted and unanimously authorized the merger and
recommended its approval by the stockholders of TekInsight.
Data Systems and TekInsight subsequently executed the merger agreement
on February 18, 2000. On February 28, 2000, Data Systems and TekInsight issued
press releases announcing the merger agreement.
After further discussion between the management of Data Systems and
TekInsight, in which the post-merger organization of the combined companies was
discussed, it was agreed to amend the merger agreement by providing for the
merger of Data Systems into TekInsight Services rather than AstraTek. TekInsight
Services is a wholly owned subsidiary of TekInsight that provides electronic
commerce services to its clients. An amendment to the merger agreement
reflecting this modification was authorized by the boards of directors of Data
Systems and TekInsight and signed by all parties on April 4, 2000. A second
amendment to the merger agreement extending the date by which either Data
Systems or TekInsight could terminate the merger by mutual consent and amending
the initial conversion ratio of Data Systems common stock exchangeable into
TekInsight Series A preferred stock was authorized by the boards of directors of
Data Systems and TekInsight and signed by all parties as of June 28, 2000.
Data Systems' Reasons for the Merger; Recommendations of the Board of Directors
The board of directors of Data Systems has unanimously approved the
merger agreement and the merger, has authorized the execution and delivery of
the merger agreement and believes that the merger is in the best interests of
Data Systems and its shareholders. Accordingly, the board of directors of Data
Systems unanimously recommends that the shareholders of Data Systems vote "FOR"
the merger.
In making its determination with respect to the merger, the board of
directors of Data Systems considered the following factors material. This is not
an exhaustive list of all the factors considered by the board of directors of
Data Systems. Each member of the board of directors may have considered
different factors or assigned different weights to different factors and the
board of directors of Data Systems evaluated these factors as a whole and did
not quantify or otherwise assign relative weights to the factors considered.
Those factors were:
o The prospective financial condition and results of operations of Data
Systems and TekInsight. The board of directors considered this factor
important in approving the merger because the listing of TekInsight on
the Nasdaq SmallCap Market (which is a condition to the merger) would
provide better liquidity for shareholders of Data Systems and better
access to capital than Data Systems currently has in the
over-the-counter market.
o The current financial condition of Data Systems without combining with
TekInsight. The board of directors considered this factor important in
approving the merger because, although the board considered a number
of other alternatives and merger partners, TekInsight offered the best
terms and prospects.
o The opportunity for Data Systems to accelerate its transition from the
reliance on hardware sales into the higher margin business of
providing professional and electronic commerce services and the
development of software products. The board of directors considered
this factor important because it afforded a good opportunity to
diversify the revenue stream of Data Systems.
-19-
<PAGE>
o The opinion of Valuation Counselors that the exchange ratio is fair
from a financial perspective to the shareholders of Data Systems. The
board of directors of Data Systems considered this factor important
because their independent determination corroborated, from a financial
perspective, what the board believed to be the case from a business
perspective.
o The business and financial opportunities that become available to Data
Systems as a result of TekInsight's technical capabilities and product
offerings. The board of directors of Data Systems considered this to
be important from a long-term business perspective and as a component
of adding shareholder value.
o The opportunity to provide new Internet technology to its existing
customers. The board of directors of Data Systems considered this
important as a means of maintaining and expanding its customer base
and adding to its revenue stream.
o The ease of transition for the combined company after the merger due
to the current infrastructure of Data Systems. The board of directors
of Data Systems considered this important because it tended to support
its belief that the merger made sense from a business perspective.
The determination of the board of directors of Data Systems involved
judgment with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive and
financial market conditions and future business decisions which may not be
realized and are inherently subject to significant business, economic,
competitive and other uncertainties, all of which are difficult to predict and
many of which are beyond the control of Data Systems.
TekInsight's Reasons for the Merger; Recommendation of Board of Directors
In making its determination with respect to the merger, the board of
directors of TekInsight considered the following factors material. This is not
an exhaustive list of all the factors considered by the board of directors of
TekInsight. Each member of the board of directors may have considered different
factors or assigned different weights to different factors and the board of
directors of TekInsight evaluated these factors as a whole and did not quantify
or otherwise assign relative weights to the factors considered. Those factors
were:
o TekInsight seeks to gain access to Data Systems' established sales and
distribution channel to promote TekInsight products and services. Data
Systems possesses a distribution network covering 16 state and local
governments and a variety of commercial accounts. The board of
directors of TekInsight considered this factor important because
expanding existing sales and distribution channels is critical to
future revenue growth.
o TekInsight seeks to gain access to Data Systems' seasoned sales team
operating in five district offices, without incurring the time and
expense required to establish a channel independently, and increasing
the likelihood that TekInsight will be able to successfully penetrate
target markets. The board of directors of TekInsight considered this
factor important for the same reasons.
o Data Systems' help desk operations is expected to provide valuable
support for TekInsight product rollouts and solutions provided to
clients. The board of directors considered this factor important but
it was not as heavily weighted as the other factors considered.
o Data Systems' professional services group complements the professional
services group of TekInsight. The merged entity will be able to
provide a broader range of technical services to the combined client
bases of both companies. The board of directors of TekInsight
considered this factor important because it directly relates to an
assessment of the combined company's future revenue stream.
-20-
<PAGE>
o Data Systems' network engineers and product procurement sources,
combined with the eCommerce development capability and technical
know-how of TekInsight, will allow TekInsight to promote an
"end-to-end" eCommerce solution to commercial and government clients
seeking to leverage the Internet. The board of directors considered
this an important factor in expanding the combined company's customer
base.
o TekInsight expects to realize significant gains in efficiency and
operating profits as a result of organization rationalization and
process improvements in the combined entity. The board of directors
considered this factor important because it tends to support the
belief that the merger makes sense from a business and financial
perspective.
o Although the board of directors of TekInsight did not commission a
formal analysis of synergies and did not attempt to quantify
synergies, TekInsight expects to realize synergies from the
combination of TekInsight's sophisticated product development,
professional services and electronic commerce activity teams with Data
Systems' extensive sales staff. In this case, each merger participant
has particular business operational strengths that are not as highly
developed in the other participant's organization. For example,
TekInsight expects synergies to develop by pairing its development
expertise and lack of sales strength, given its small sales staff,
with Data Systems' large national sales organization and more limited
development staff sophistication. The board of directors considered
this factor important because it tends to support the idea that each
merger participant's access to the other's operational strengths will
lead to more business advantages for each side than simply the result
of adding together the revenues generated by each party to the merger
or spreading existing operating expenses over a larger revenue base.
The determination of the board of directors of TekInsight involved
judgment with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive and
financial market conditions and future business decisions which may not be
realized and are inherently subject to significant business, economic,
competitive and other uncertainties, all of which are difficult to predict and
many of which are beyond the control of TekInsight.

<PAGE>
INTERESTS OF CERTAIN PERSONS IN THE MERGER
Except as disclosed, none of the current directors or officers of
TekInsight has any substantial interest, direct or indirect, by security
holdings or otherwise, in the merger. Damon Testaverde, a director of
TekInsight, is an executive officer of Network One Financial Services, Inc., the
principal market maker with respect to the common stock of TekInsight. Officers
and directors of Data Systems may have interests in the merger that are
different from or in addition to other shareholders of Data Systems. Data
Systems does not, however, believe that any of these interests presents a
material conflict of interest.
Employment Agreement
On October 1, 1998, TekInsight entered into a three-year employment
contract with Alexander Kalpaxis. Mr. Kalpaxis is Chairman of the Board and
Chief Technology Officer of TekInsight. Mr. Kalpaxis's employment agreement
provides him with an annual base salary of $160,000. Additionally, Mr. Kalpaxis
will receive a performance bonus based upon the operating results of AstraTek if
EBITDA of AstraTek equals or exceed $1 million.
Consulting Agreements
Steven J. Ross entered into a consulting agreement dated May 15, 2000,
which replaces his consulting agreement with BugSolver.Com, Inc., a TekInsight
subsidiary, dated December 10, 1999, for his services as a consultant to
TekInsight and BugSolver. The consulting agreement terminates on February 28,
2002, but automatically renews for successive 90-day periods unless either party
gives notice of termination. Mr. Ross also agreed to serve as a director of each
of TekInsight and BugSolver. For his services, Mr. Ross receives (i) a
consulting fee of $23,000 a month, except for the month of May, 2000, in which
he received $20,000, and (ii) options to purchase 400,000 shares of TekInsight
at an exercise price of $3.00 per share (fair market value on date of grant). Of
the options granted to Mr. Ross, options for 200,000 shares vested and were
exercisable as of February 1, 2000. Options for 100,000 shares vest and are
exercisable on and after the day on which the average closing price for one
share of TekInsight common stock for the five trading days immediately prior to
such date attains $6.00 per share, and options for the remaining 100,000 shares
vest and are exercisable on and after the day on which the average closing price
for one share of TekInsight common stock for the five trading days immediately
prior to such date attains $8.00 per share. Mr. Ross shall also receive,
following the successful completion of a private placement of at least
$4,000,000 of BugSolver equity securities, options to purchase 4% of the common
stock shares of BugSolver issued and outstanding immediately prior to the
completion of such private placement, exercisable at the price at which
BugSolver common stock is issued in the private placement. However, if BugSolver
completes a successful merger with Delicious Brands, Inc. prior to the
completion of such private placement, on closing of the private placement Mr.
Ross shall receive options to purchase only 2% of the Bug-Solver common stock
shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the completion of such
private placement. In the event BugSolver completes a merger with Delicious
Brands, Inc., Mr. Ross will further receive options to purchase 2% of the shares
of BugSolver common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the
completion of the merger. Under the consulting agreement, these options will
vest one year from the closing of the private placement or the merger, as
applicable.
On May 24, 2000, TekInsight entered into a consulting agreement with
Core Strategies, LLC for the provision of strategic marketing, planning and
counseling services to TekInsight. Marshall Toplansky, Executive Vice President
Marketing of TekInsight, is also the Chief Executive Officer of Core Strategies
and shall directly manage the services to be provided to TekInsight. The
agreement is effective as of March 1, 2000 and continues indefinitely unless
either party gives thirty (30) days written notice of termination. In exchange
for its services, Core Strategies shall receive (i) a consulting fee of $12,000
a month and (ii) an option to purchase 100,000 shares of TekInsight at an
exercise price of $3.00 per share. This option vests in allocations of 25,000
shares each when the five-day average closing price for one share of TekInsight
common stock is $3.00, $5.00, $6.00 and $8.00, respectively. Core Strategies
shall also receive a monthly communications fee equal to two (2%) percent of its
consulting fees for expenses incurred for telephone calls, postage, delivery and
similar charges.

Indemnity Agreement
TekInsight has entered into agreements which provide indemnification to
each of its directors and officers, to the fullest extent allowed under the
Delaware General Corporate Law. The indemnification agreements provide for
payment by TekInsight of all expenses, judgments and other amounts required to
be paid by an officer or director in connection with a proceeding or suit to
which he is a party or witness or is otherwise involved by reason of the fact he
acted as an officer, employee, director or agent of TekInsight. TekInsight is
not obligated to pay any expenses with respect to any proceeding arising out of
acts or omissions for which an officer or director is prohibited by applicable
law from receiving indemnification or where the attorney representing the
indemnitee has concluded that the indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification
of any amounts.
Consents to be Named as Director

Systems, and Walter J. Aspatore, a director of Data Systems, have each agreed to
become a director of TekInsight on the same terms as TekInsight's other

Material Contracts with Data Systems
The following is a summary of the material terms of agreements between

waived. The closing will be at the offices of Nixon Peabody LLP, counsel for
TekInsight, 437 Madison Avenue, New York, New York, or at such other time and
place as the parties may agree in writing.
Merger Consideration; Effect on Capital Stock of Data Systems
Under the merger agreement, the Series A preferred stock of TekInsight
paid as merger consideration will have a dollar value of between $12.5 million
and $18 million, depending on the average of the market value of TekInsight
common stock as quoted on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market for the 10 consecutive
trading days immediately prior to the closing date of the merger. The aggregate
dollar amount of the merger consideration will be determined on the following
basis:
If the Market Value of Then the Total Value

-25-
<PAGE>
Each shareholder of Data Systems will receive his proportionate share
of TekInsight's Series A preferred stock based on an exchange ratio equal to the
per share amount described immediately above divided by the market value of one
share of TekInsight common stock calculated as described in the preceding
paragraph, which will then be divided by a divisor determined by the closing bid
price of TekInsight common stock the day before the merger. For a full
description of the merger consideration formula, with examples, see "Summary --
Merger Consideration," beginning on page ___ of this proxy statement/prospectus.
Data Systems common stock will be cancelled without conversion. Cash
will be paid for fractional shares.
Treatment of Data Systems Stock Options
At the effective time of the merger, each outstanding and unexercised
Data Systems stock option which has been issued under its option plan shall be
assumed by TekInsight and shall be deemed to be vested as of the effective date
of the merger. Each assumed stock option shall be exercisable for shares of
Series A preferred stock in accordance with the conversion ratio set forth in
this section in the paragraph above entitled "Merger Consideration; Effect on
Capital Stock of Data Systems."
Shares of Data Systems common stock issued upon the exercise of Data
Systems options which have been granted under its option plan prior to the date
that is three days prior to the effective time of the merger shall be converted
into shares of Series A preferred stock in accordance with the conversion ratio
described above. Such exercised Data Systems options shall be deemed to have
vested not later than the fifth business day prior to the closing date of the
merger.
Surrender of Data Systems Certificates
American Stock Transfer & Trust Company is the exchange agent in the
merger. Immediately after the closing date, TekInsight will give the exchange
agent the number of its shares of Series A preferred stock necessary to complete
the exchange. TekInsight will also give the exchange agent sufficient cash to
pay cash for fractional shares.
The exchange agent will send each shareholder of Data Systems of record
a transmittal letter covering the exchange of shares, together with instructions
for effecting the exchange. Upon surrender of Data Systems stock certificates,
the holders of the surrendered Data Systems certificates will be entitled to
receive their proportionate share of Series A preferred stock, plus any cash
paid for fractional shares.
Shareholders of Data Systems will not be entitled to any dividends or
distributions on Series A preferred stock until their Data Systems share
certificates are surrendered to the exchange agent. Following the surrender of
Data Systems share certificates to the exchange agent, along with a signed and
completed transmittal letter, the exchange agent will deliver to shareholders of
Data Systems certificates representing their shares of Series A preferred stock,
plus cash for any fractional shares. Interest will not be paid between the
closing date and the date shareholders receive their Series A preferred stock.
If a shareholder is the registered holder and would like his Series A preferred
stock issued in any name other than his own, Data Systems certificates
surrendered to the exchange agent must be properly endorsed and proper
instructions must be given to the exchange agent. Any such person to be issued
Series A preferred stock must establish that any transfer or other taxes
required to be paid by reason of the transfer have been paid or are not payable.
The exchange agent will not be liable for any amount properly paid to a public
official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws.
After one year from the closing date of the merger, the exchange agent will no
longer be obligated to exchange Data Systems common stock on behalf of
TekInsight or pay cash in lieu of fractional shares or for dividends. After that
date shareholders of Data Systems must look to TekInsight for payment of their
claims.

Systems certificates presented after the effective time of the merger will be
canceled and exchanged as provided in the merger agreement.
Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates
Certificates for shares of Data Systems common stock that have been
lost, stolen or destroyed may nonetheless be exchanged for Series A preferred
stock by the exchange agent upon proper proof of ownership, including an
affidavit of the holder and bond sufficient to indemnify TekInsight, TekInsight
Services or the exchange agent against possible loss with respect to such
certificates.

OPINIONS OF FINANCIAL ADVISORS
Opinion of Data Systems' Financial Advisors-- Valuation Counselors Group, Inc.
The board of directors of Data Systems retained Valuation Counselors to
render its opinion as to whether the consideration to be paid to shareholders of
Data Systems by TekInsight pursuant to the merger agreement is fair from a
financial perspective to the shareholders of Data Systems. Data Systems retained
Valuation Counselors based upon its prominence as a valuation and financial
advisory firm with experience in the valuation of businesses and their
securities in connection with mergers and acquisitions, divestitures, leveraged
buyouts, private placements, and other situations.
On February 8, 2000, Valuation Counselors delivered its written opinion
to the board of directors of Data Systems that, as of the date of the opinion,
based on the review of Valuation Counselors' and subject to the assumptions,
limitations, procedures followed and qualifications described below and set
forth in the opinion, the consideration to be received by the shareholders of
Data Systems from the merger is fair to the shareholders of Data Systems from a
financial perspective. Valuation Counselors is not making, and the opinion
should not be construed as, a recommendation as to whether or not a shareholder
of Data Systems should approve the merger. Additionally, the fairness opinion of
Valuation Counselors does not compare the relative merits of the merger with
those of any other transactions or business strategies available to Data Systems
as alternatives to the merger, and Valuation Counselors was not requested to,
and did not, solicit the interest of any other party in acquiring similar
companies.
The full text of the fairness opinion which contains a description of
the material assumptions and qualifications made, matters considered and
limitations imposed on the review and analysis is set forth in Appendix B
attached to this proxy statement/prospectus and should be read in its entirety.
The board of directors of Data Systems imposed no conditions or limitations on
the scope of the investigation or the methods or procedures to be followed by
Valuation Counselors in rendering the fairness opinion.
In rendering the fairness opinion, Valuation Counselors, among other
things: (i) reviewed the merger agreement; (ii) reviewed and analyzed
consolidated historic and projected financial and operating data of Data
Systems, including audited financial statements for Data Systems; (iii) reviewed
and analyzed other internal information concerning the business and operations
of Data Systems furnished by management; (iv) reviewed and analyzed publicly
available information concerning Data Systems; (v) reviewed and analyzed
publicly available information concerning the terms of selected merger and
acquisition transactions that Valuation Counselors deemed relevant to its
inquiry (based on business line, size, and similar financial characteristics);
(vi) reviewed and analyzed selected market purchase price data that Valuation
Counselors considered relevant to its inquiry; (vii) held meetings and
discussions with TekInsight and employees of Data Systems concerning the
operations, financial condition and prospectus of Data Systems; and (viii)
conducted such other financial studies, analysis investigations, including a
visit to Data Systems' Farmington Hills, Michigan corporate offices, and
considered such other information as Valuation Counselors deemed appropriate.
In arriving at its opinion, Valuation Counselors relied, without
independent verification, on the accuracy and completeness of all of the
financial and other information that was publicly available, supplied or
otherwise communicated to it by Data Systems and TekInsight. Valuation
Counselors assumed that the financial estimates (including the underlying
assumptions and bases thereof) examined by it were reasonably prepared and
reflected the best currently available estimates and good faith judgments as to
the future performance of Data Systems. Valuation Counselors expressed no
opinion with respect to any forecasts or the assumptions on which they were
based. Valuation Counselors did not make an independent evaluation or appraisal
of the assets or liabilities (contingent or otherwise) of Data Systems. The
fairness opinion is based upon financial, economic, market, and other conditions
and circumstances existing and disclosed to it as of the date of its opinion. As
background for its analyses, Valuation Counselors held discussions regarding the
history, current business operations, financial condition, and future prospects
of Data Systems.
-30-
<PAGE>
For purposes of its analysis, Valuation Counselors relied upon the
following SEC filings of Data Systems: Form 10-Ks for the periods ending
December 31, 1996 through December 1, 1998, Form 8-Ks dated January 8, 2000, and
September 15, 1999, Form S-1 dated December 16, 1996, and Form 10-Qs, for the
periods ending September 30, 1999, June 30, 1999, and March 31, 1999.
Valuation Counselor's opinion is directed only to the fairness to Data
Systems and to the shareholders of Data Systems from a financial perspective of
the consideration to be received by the shareholders of Data Systems from the
merger, and does not address any other aspect of the merger. The summary set
forth below describes the material analyses undertaken but is nonetheless a
summary.
In conjunction with rendering its fairness opinion, Valuation
Counselors considered the following financial and comparative analyses:
o a contribution analysis;
o a pro forma merger analysis;
o a discounted cash flow analysis;
o an analysis of selected publicly traded companies;
o an analysis of transactions pursuant to which selected public and
private companies have acquired data networking companies similar to
those of Data Systems; and
o an analysis of other factors.
Contribution Analysis
Valuation Counselors analyzed the respective current contributions of
Data Systems and TekInsight to the estimated revenue, EBITDA, and net income of
the combined company. This analysis indicated that (i) in fiscal 1999, Data
Systems would contribute approximately 94.0% of revenue, 170.0% of EBITDA, and
50.4% of net income, and (ii) TekInsight would contribute approximately 6.0% of
revenue, 70.0% of EBITDA, and 49.6% of net income of the combined company.
Pro Forma Merger Analysis
Valuation Counselors analyzed pro forma effects resulting from the
merger, including, among other things, the impact of the merger on TekInsight's
projected EPS for fiscal years 2000 through 2004 based, in the case of Data
Systems, on internal estimates of the management of Data Systems for fiscal year
2000 and extrapolated for subsequent years based on management's growth rate
estimates and, in the case of TekInsight, on estimates of selected investment
banking firms for fiscal years 2000 through 2004 and extrapolated for subsequent
fiscal years based on analysts' growth estimates for TekInsight. The results of
the pro forma merger analysis suggested that the merger could be accretive to
TekInsight's EPS in each of the fiscal years analyzed. The actual results
achieved by the combined company may vary from projected results and the
variations may be material.
Discounted Cash Flow Analysis
Valuation Counselors analyzed the financial terms of the merger using a
discounted cash flow analysis. The discounted cash flow approach assumes, as a
basic premise, that the intrinsic value of any business or property is the
current value of the future cash flow that the business will generate for its
owners. To establish a current implied value under this approach, future cash
flow must be estimated and an appropriate discount rate determined. The
projected cash flows and terminal value were discounted to present value using a
discount rate of 19%. Valuation Counselors estimated the free cash flows,
defined as total projected cash revenue minus total projected cash expenses.
Valuation Counselors performed a discounted cash flow analysis of the projected
debt-free net cash flow of Data Systems for the fiscal years ending September
30, 2000 through 2004, partially based on internal estimates of the Company's
management. Based on financial information and input from management at Data
Systems, revenues were projected at $58.1 million, $66.9 million, $80.2 million,
$96.3 million, and $115.5 million for the years ending 2000 through 2004. Cost
of sales were projected at $46.3 million, $53.2 million, $63.9 million, $76.7
million, and $92.0 million for the years ending 2000 through 2004. Total
operating expenses, exclusive of depreciation, were projected at $10.2 million,
$11.4 million, $13.3 million, $15.0 million, and $18.0 million for the years
ending 2000 through 2004. After the deduction of depreciation and amortization
expense, other income, and income tax expense, debt-free net income was
$330,000, $589,000, $995,000, $1.8 million, and $2.2 million for the years
ending 2000 through 2004.
-31-
<PAGE>
The indicated enterprise value was determined by adding the present
value of the projected debt-free net cash flows over the fiscal years 2000
through 2004 and the present value of Data Systems' estimated terminal value in
2004. This analysis yielded an enterprise value below the purchase price.
Selected Comparable Acquisition Analysis
Valuation Counselors, using publicly available information, reviewed
the purchase prices and implied transaction multiples paid or proposed to be
paid for 69 companies, deemed comparable on the basis of size, financial data
and the like, engaged in the computer networking and information technology
industries. From these transactions Valuation Counselors calculated market value
of invested capital (MVIC) multiples of revenue and earnings before
depreciation, interest, and taxes (EBITDA.) The MVIC/Revenue multiples ranged
from 0.02X to 19.33x with a median of 0.90X. The MVIC/EBITDA multiples ranged
from 0.02X to 38.96X with a median of 9.86X. As detailed in Valuation
Counselors' fairness opinion, Data Systems' multiples derived from the purchase
price fall within the range of the transacted companies' market multiples. These
comparable acquisitions (by acquiree) are as follows:
May & Speh, Barefoot Computer Training, PCM, Metrologie International,
Claremont Technology Group, Spargo Consulting PLC, CSA Holdings, Sentient
Systems, Synexus, Technology Management, ROW Sciences, Vanstar Corp., Computer
Power Group, Logical Software Solutions Corp., FullTime Software, Carnegie
Group, Open Business Systems Group, Mastering, Global Technology Solutions,
Traid Data, Scopus Technology, Video Management, Olivetti, Computer Data
Systems, Micros-To-Mainframes, On-Line Networking, Allegiant Legacy Solutions,
Menhir, Logicon, Expert Business Systems, BDM International, Datalogix
International, Datasvar Support, Future Now, Enterprise Technology Group, Vail
Research and Technology Corp, Vail Research and Technology Corp, Eclipse
Information Systems, H.V. Jones, Confidential, Automated Business Systems of NC,
Kent Consulting Group, Sabor Software Corp., TRECOM Business Systems, 3D
Information Services, Connect Computer Company, Data Aid, Innova Solutions, ESP
Software Services, Lior, Cray Communications, Consolidated Computer Investors,
Comtex Information Systems, Concepts in Communications, Integrex Systems Corp.,
Hi-Tech Connections, STMS, PC Business Solutions, Novadyne Computer Systems,
Costello & Associates, BTG, Solsource Computers, Open System Technologies,
Software Analysis and Management, KCS Computer Services, Delta CompuTec,
Conversion Services International, Quicksilver Group, E-BusinessSolutions.com.
Publicly Traded Guideline Company Analysis
Using publicly available information, Valuation Counselors analyzed the
market values and trading multiples of the following publicly traded guideline
companies: Tier Technologies, Microstrategy, Peregrine Systems, Eltrax Systems,
Socrates Technologies Corporation, Micros to Mainframes, Osage Systems Group,
and Government Technology Services From these guideline companies Valuation
Counselors calculated market value of invested capital (MVIC) multiples of
revenue and earnings before depreciation, interest, and taxes (EBITDA.) These
companies were deemed comparable on the basis of size, financial data and the
like. The MVIC/Revenue multiples ranged from 0.12x to 84.49x with a median of
1.74x. The MVIC/EBITDA multiples ranged from 11.31x to 577.79x with a median of
76.64x. As detailed in Valuation Counselors' fairness opinion, the indicated
multiples based on the purchase price offered for Data Systems fall within the
ranges of the guideline companies' market multiples but below the median levels.
Such a placement is warranted due to Data Systems' smaller size, higher
leverage, and inferior historical and projected growth rates in comparison to
the guideline companies.

<PAGE>
Other Factors and Analysis
In rendering the fairness opinion, Valuation Counselors also considered
other factors relevant to a valuation of Data Systems. These factors included
(i) the premiums paid in acquisitions of companies in the computer networking
and information technology industries and (ii) other offers to purchase Data
Systems' securities. The purchase price for Data Systems equates to a premium of
113.5% to 207.5% over Data Systems' pre-January 19, 2000 common stock share
price. By comparison, between 1995 and 1999, the premiums paid for transacted
companies within the computer networking and information technology industries
ranged between 13.0% and 81.4% with a median of 57.0%. Given this as well as
Data Systems' market presence, the premium to the shareholders of Data Systems
appears fair. Competing offers of expressions of interest were received from
Micros to Mainframes, Dyn Corporation, American United Global, and Alydaar
Software Corporation. With the exception of the Alydaar Software Corporation
offer, all the competing offers were relayed verbally to Data Systems' business
broker. The Micros to Mainframes offer for Data Systems indicated a value
between $12 million and $13 million. The offer was declined due to business
logistics and the fact that Micros to Mainframes was undergoing an assimilation
of a recent acquisition. The Dyn Corporation offer, also presented verbally, had
a value between $12 million to $13 million and was declined due to the use of
privately held stock as a portion of the purchase price. American United Global
offered $12 million for Data Systems but the offer was declined since American
United Global would have had to liquidate a subsidiary in order to finance the
acquisition. These offers compare to the purchase price range between
$12,500,000 and $18,000,000.
The summary set forth above describes the material analyses undertaken
by Valuation Counselors. The preparation of a fairness opinion involves various
determinations as to the most appropriate and relevant methods of financial
analysis and the application of these methods to the particular circumstances.
Each of the analyses was performed by Valuation Counselors to provide a
different perspective on the transaction and contribute to the total mix of
information available to Data Systems. Valuation Counselors did not form a
conclusion as to whether any one of the analyses, considered in isolation,
supported or failed to support an opinion as to the fairness from a financial
perspective of the merger consideration. Instead, Valuation Counselors, in
reaching its conclusion, considered the results of the analyses taken as a
whole. Valuation Counselors' conclusion involved significant elements of
judgment and qualitative analysis as well as a financial and qualitative
analysis. Valuation Counselors did not place particular emphasis or weighting on
any individual factor, but instead concluded that its analysis taken as a whole
supported its opinion. Accordingly, notwithstanding the separate factors
summarized above, Valuation Counselors believes that its analyses must be
considered as a whole and that selecting portions of its analysis and the
factors it considered without considering all analyses and factors, could create
an incomplete or misleading view of the evaluation process underlying its
opinion. Any estimates contained in these analyses are not necessarily
indicative of actual values or predictive of future results or values, which may
be significantly more or less favorable than as set forth therein. Accordingly,
such analyses and estimates are inherently subject to substantial uncertainty
and Valuation Counselors does not assume responsibility for any future
variations from such analyses or estimates.
Valuation Counselors' fairness opinion relates to the relative values
of Data Systems and TekInsight. Valuation Counselors did not express any opinion
as to what the value of TekInsight common stock actually will be when issued to
the shareholders of Data Systems pursuant to the merger or the price at which
TekInsight common stock will trade subsequent to the merger. Although Valuation
Counselors evaluated the exchange ratio from a financial perspective, Valuation
Counselors was not asked to and did not recommend the specific consideration
payable in the merger, which was determined through negotiation between Data
Systems and TekInsight.

In performing its analyses, Valuation Counselors made numerous
assumptions with respect to industry performance, general business, financial,
economic, and market conditions and other matters, many of which are beyond the
control of Data Systems. Furthermore, events occurring after the date of the
Valuation Counselors fairness opinion may materially affect the assumptions used
in preparing the Valuation Counselors fairness opinion and accordingly the
Valuation Counselors fairness opinion is necessarily based upon market,
economic, and other conditions that exist and can be evaluated as of the date of
the opinion, and on information available to Valuation Counselors as of such
date. In addition, analyses relating to the value of the business or securities
do not purport to be appraisals, or to reflect the prices at which such
businesses or securities can actually be sold. Analyses based on future results
are not necessarily indicative of actual future results that may be
significantly more or less favorable than suggested by such analyses.
Pursuant to an engagement letter dated January 12, 2000, Valuation
Counselors will receive $50,000 for its services in rendering a fairness opinion
to Data Systems. Valuation Counselors will also be reimbursed for its expenses.
Data Systems has agreed to indemnify Valuation Counselors, its affiliates and
each of its directors, officers, employees, agents, consultants and attorneys
and each controlling person, if any, from any liabilities under federal
securities, law, that may arise out of Valuation Counselors' engagement.
Valuation Counselors is principally and continually engaged in the
valuation of businesses and their securities in connection with mergers and
acquisitions, divestitures, leveraged buyouts, private placements, and other
situations. Prior to this engagement, Valuation Counselors has had no
relationship with either Data Systems or TekInsight
Opinion of TekInsight's Financial Advisors -- Valuemetrics, Inc.
The following summary of the written opinion of Valuemetrics and the
material analyses undertaken by it is qualified in its entirety by reference to
the full text of its opinion.
On January 10, 2000, the TekInsight board of directors retained
Valuemetrics to act as financial advisor to the TekInsight board of directors
and to render an opinion as to the fairness from a financial perspective to
TekInsight of the merger consideration to be paid in the proposed acquisition of
the stock of Data Systems. Valuemetrics was selected by the TekInsight board of
directors because of its reputation as a recognized firm which is actively
engaged in the valuation of businesses and their securities, particularly in
connection with midsize private and public companies. Valuemetrics also provides
financial advisory and investment banking services, providing fairness and
solvency opinions, structuring transactions and types of securities through
affiliated entities, raising senior and mezzanine debt, placement of private
equity and offering companies for sale.
The amount of the merger consideration to be paid in the proposed
acquisition of the stock of Data Systems pursuant to the merger was determined
by negotiations between TekInsight and Data Systems, not by Valuemetrics.
On February 16, 2000 Valuemetrics delivered to the TekInsight board of
directors its oral opinion that the merger consideration is fair from a
financial perspective to TekInsight. The full text of Valuemetrics' opinion,
which sets forth assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered and
any limitations on the review undertaken by Valuemetrics, is attached as
Appendix C to this proxy statement/prospectus. As set forth in the opinion,
Valuemetrics relied upon and assumed without independent verification the
accuracy and completeness of the financial and other information provided to it
by the management of Data Systems and TekInsight, including assurances of Data
Systems and TekInsight management that they were unaware of any facts that would
make such information provided to Valuemetrics incomplete or misleading.
Valuemetrics also assumed that the transaction described in the agreement and
plan of merger dated February 18, 2000 would be consummated on the terms set
forth therein, without waiver of any such terms. Valuemetrics did not make or
obtain an independent appraisal of the assets of Data Systems. No limitations
were imposed by Data Systems, TekInsight or their respective boards of directors
on Valuemetrics with respect to the investigation made, or the procedures
followed by it in rendering its opinion. TekInsight, its management, Data
Systems, and its management cooperated fully with Valuemetrics in connection
therewith. Shareholders are urged to read this opinion in its entirety for a
description of the procedures followed, matters considered, assumptions made and
methods employed by Valuemetrics in arriving at its opinion.

<PAGE>
The opinion of Valuemetrics is necessarily based upon conditions as
they existed and could be evaluated on the date thereof. Valuemetrics has no
obligation to update its opinion to take into account any subsequent changes or
events. The opinion of Valuemetrics does not address the underlying business
decision of TekInsight to effect the merger, and Valuemetrics expressed no view
of the effect on TekInsight of the merger. Although Valuemetrics evaluated the
merger consideration from a financial perspective, Valuemetrics did not
recommend the specific merger consideration payable in connection with the
merger, which was determined by TekInsight.
Except for the opinion of Valuemetrics, TekInsight has not received any
report, opinion or appraisal from an outside party which is related to the
valuation of the merger.
In conducting its analysis and arriving at its opinion, Valuemetrics,
among other things, (i) reviewed the letter of intent of the merger between Data
Systems and TekInsight, dated January 18, 2000, (ii) reviewed the agreement and
plan of merger agreement dated February 18, 2000 by and among TekInsight,
AstraTek (before the amendment which changed this party to TekInsight Services)
and Data Systems, (iii) reviewed Data Systems' audited financial statements for
the fiscal years ended December 31, 1996 through December 31, 1998, (iv)
reviewed the unaudited financials of Data Systems for the quarters ended March
31, 1999, June 30, 1999 and September 30, 1999, (v) reviewed operating and
financial information, including interim financial statements and other
financial information provided to Valuemetrics by management of Data Systems
relating to the business and prospects of Data Systems, (vi) met with members of
senior management of Data Systems to discuss the company's operations,
historical financial statements and future prospects, (vii) reviewed the
historical prices and trading volume of Data Systems common stock, (viii)
reviewed publicly available financial data and stock market performance data of
public companies which were deemed generally comparable to Data Systems,
including on the basis of customers served, products and services offered, size
and financial characteristics, (ix) reviewed schedules of options outstanding
and stock ownership prepared by Data Systems and (x) conducted such other
studies, analyses, inquiries and investigations as it deemed appropriate.
In making its presentation to the TekInsight board of directors at a
meeting held on February 16, 2000, and in delivering its opinion dated February
18, 2000, Valuemetrics discussed financial analyses and other factors it deemed
relevant to the determinations of the board of directors of TekInsight,
including:
o errors in planning or integration;
o a review of historical and current trading data of the common stock;
o comparable companies analysis;
o future earnings analysis;
o capitalized cash flow analysis;
o mergers and acquisition analysis; and
o equity premiums analysis.
In preparing its opinion, Valuemetrics performed a variety of financial
and comparative analyses the material aspects of which are described below. The
following summary, while complete in material respects, is nonetheless a summary
description of the analyses underlying the opinion of Valuemetrics.
Market Price Analysis
Valuemetrics reviewed historical and current data with respect to
prices and trading volume of the shares of Data Systems common stock.
Valuemetrics analyzed the trading market for the shares of Data Systems common
stock, including a review of the historical trading price of the shares of Data
Systems during the prior three months, the last twelve months, and for the three
years preceding February 15, 2000; historical data relating to the trading price
and volume of the shares of Data Systems common stock for the same periods; and
the range of prices at which the shares of Data Systems common stock traded in
the period from January 13, 1997 to February 15, 2000. This analysis indicated
three-year, last twelve months and thirty-day prior to February 15, 2000 average
stock prices of $5.217, $0.980 and $1.25 per share, respectively. On February
15, 2000, the last trading day prior to the TekInsight board of director's
receipt of Valuemetrics' presentation, the closing trade price of Data Systems
common stock was $1.375 per share. Valuemetrics further noted that during the
last three years, Data Systems common stock traded at a high of $16.469 and a
low of $0.4375 per share.

<PAGE>
Comparable Company Analysis
Valuemetrics reviewed and compared the financial and market performance
of Data Systems to the financial and market performance of publicly traded
companies which Valuemetrics deemed to be comparable to Data Systems, including,
on the basis of customers served, product and services offered, size and
financial characteristics. Such comparable companies included A Consulting Team,
Inc., Alphanet Solutions, Inc., ASA International, LTD., CACI International,
Inc., Ciber, Inc., Condor Technology Solutions, Inc., Cotelligent, Inc.,
Government Technology Services, Metro Information Services, Inc., Micros to
Mainframes, Inc., Systems and Computer Technology Corp., Tier Technology, Inc.,
Transnet Corp. and Whittman Hart, Inc. Although such companies were considered
similar to Data Systems in some respects, none of such companies possessed
characteristics identical to those of Data Systems. In particular, such
companies may have different product mixes or geographic markets than does Data
Systems. Valuemetrics computed selected ratios of market value to key financial
measures, including sales, earnings, cash flow, EBIT and EBITDA. These
calculations created the following range of multiples: a range of revenue
multiples of .35X to .41X; a range of earnings multiples of 13.8X to 16.0X; a
range of cash flow multiples of 8.4X to 9.7X; a range of EBIT multiples of 9.6X
to 11.1X; and a range of EBITDA multiple of 5.5X to 6.4X. All of these multiples
were then applied to Data Systems' financial measures to calculate a range of
market values for Data Systems. This methodology generated a range of equity
values from $12,417,805 to $21,512,177; and per share prices of $2.25 and $3.90,
respectively.
Future Earnings Analysis
Valuemetrics reviewed and compared the projected earnings performance
of Data Systems to the forecasted earnings performance and current market
performance of the fourteen publicly traded companies which Valuemetrics deemed
to be comparable to Data Systems. Those companies from the Comparable Company
Analysis with publicly available earnings estimates included in the Future
Earnings Analysis were: A Consulting Team, Inc., Alphanet Solutions, Inc., CACI
International, Inc., Ciber, Inc., Condor Technology Solutions, Inc., Metro
Information Services, Inc., Systems and Computer Technology Corp., Tier
Technology, Inc., Whittman Hart, Inc. After review, Valuemetrics chose these
nine companies to compute the ratios of market value to one-year forward
earnings (as determined from mean consensus earnings estimates provided by IBES
through Bloomberg.) These calculations yielded a range of multiples from 16.3X
to 18.8X. These multiples were then applied to Data Systems' projected future
earnings to calculate a market value for Data Systems. This methodology
generated an equity values ranging from $29,453,136 to $34,831,928; and per
share prices of $5.35 and $6.32, respectively.
Capitalized Cash Flow Analysis
Valuemetrics presented the results of a capitalized cash flow analysis
of Data Systems based upon specified operating and financial assumptions. In its
analysis, Valuemetrics relied partially on estimates and other financial
information provided by Data Systems management for the one-year fiscal period
ending December 31, 2000. Based on forecasts and input from management at Data
Systems, Valuemetrics gave consideration to the following range of financial
performance in deriving estimates of future net free cash flows: revenues within
the range of $53.0 million to $59.8 million; gross profit (defined as revenues
less cost of goods sold) within the range of $10.6 million to $13.9 million;
total operating expenses, exclusive of depreciation and amortization, within the
range of $10.2 million to $10.5 million; operating income after depreciation and
amortization and before other income, interest expense and income taxes within
the range of ($0.93) million to $2.7 million. The comparable company sample was
used to develop a capitalization rate for Data Systems. Data Systems' current
and one-year forward financial information was then used to compute normalized
debt-free cash flows. These debt-free cash flows were then used to calculate a
market value for Data Systems. Using this methodology, Valuemetrics calculated a
range of equity values for Data Systems ranging from $8,664,096 to $27,888,072
and a per share value ranging from $1.57 to $5.06, using capitalization rates
ranging between 10.8 and 18.3, which are based upon a discount rates between 18%
and 16% and growth rates between 8% and 10%, respectively.

Mergers and Acquisitions Analysis
Valuemetrics reviewed and compared the financial performance of Data
Systems to merger and acquisition data from market transactions involving
companies which Valuemetrics deemed to be comparable to Data Systems, based
upon, but not limited to, customers served, product and services offered, their
size and financial characteristics. Although such companies were considered
similar to Data Systems in some respects, none of these companies possessed
characteristics identical to those of Data Systems. In particular, such
companies may have different product mixes or geographic markets than does Data
Systems. There were eleven transactions that occurred in the last three years
deemed similar in respect to Data Systems. The comparable acquisitions (targets)
included the following companies: Computer Data Systems Inc., Claremont
Technology Group Inc, Donnelley Enterprise Solutions, Integrated Systems
Consulting, Transition Systems Inc, Computer Management Sciences, Marcam
Solutions Inc, Nichols Research Corp, Template Software Inc, Government Systems,
Inc. and Questech. Valuemetrics computed selected ratios of market value to key
financial and operating measures, including sales, earnings, EBITDA, total
number of employees and the total number of technical employees. These
calculations created a range of sales multiples of .50X to .66X; a range of
earnings multiples of 20.21X to 26.28X; a range of EBITDA multiples of 8.59X to
11.17X; a range of total number of employees multiples of .07X to .09X; and a
range of total number of technical employees of .21X to .27X. All of these
multiples were then applied to Data Systems' financial and operating measures to
calculate a market value for Data Systems. This methodology generated a range of
equity values from $17,900,735 to $34,588,756; and per share prices of $3.25 and
$6.28, respectively.
Equity Premiums Analysis
Valuemetrics analyzed and compared the merger consideration and the
implied premium paid relative to Data Systems' stock price as of the close of
trading on February 15, 2000 to implied equity premiums in comparable
transactions. Based upon Data Systems' stock price as of the close of trading on
February 15, 2000, the merger consideration (when valued at $12,500,000)
represented an implied equity premium of approximately 65%. Valuemetrics'
analysis of standard published industry data concerning comparable transactions
found a range of implied equity premiums of 9% to 193%, with a mean of 76% and a
median of 64%.
Based on the foregoing analyses, Valuemetrics concluded that the merger
consideration to be paid for the stock of Data Systems is fair, from a financial
point of view, to TekInsight. Valuemetrics did not base its conclusion on any
individual ratio or range set forth above. Valuemetrics, in presenting its
conclusion to the TekInsight board of directors, did not describe any specific
methodology by which it determined the fairness of the merger consideration in
relation to such ranges and ratios.
The summary set forth above describes the material analyses undertaken
by Valuemetrics. Valuemetrics believes that its analyses must be considered as a
whole and that selecting portions of its analyses and of the factors considered
by it, without considering all factors and analyses, may create an incomplete
view of the processes underlying its analyses and fairness opinion. The
preparation of a fairness opinion is a complex process and is not necessarily
susceptible to partial analysis or summary description. In its analyses,
Valuemetrics made numerous assumptions with respect to industry performance,
general business and economic conditions and other matters. Any estimates
contained therein are not necessarily indicative of actual values, which may be
significantly more or less favorable than those set forth therein. Estimates of
value do not purport to be appraisals or necessarily reflect the values which
may be realized if assets are sold. Because such estimates are inherently
subject to uncertainty, neither TekInsight, Data Systems, Valuemetrics nor any
other person assumes responsibility for their accuracy.
-37-
<PAGE>
Valuemetrics' opinion and analyses were only one of many factors
considered by the board of directors of TekInsight in its evaluation of the
merger and should not be viewed as determinative of the views of TekInsight's
board of directors or TekInsight's management with respect to the merger
consideration and the Merger.
Neither Valuemetrics nor any affiliate of Valuemetrics has performed
any investment banking or other financial services for or had any other material
relationship with Data Systems, or any of their affiliates during the two years
preceding the date of this proxy statement/prospectus.
Pursuant to an engagement letter dated January 10, 2000, Valuemetrics
will receive $50,000 for its services in rendering a fairness opinion to the
board of directors of TekInsight. Valuemetrics will also be reimbursed for its
expenses. TekInsight has indemnified Valuemetrics, and its affiliated entities,
directors, officers, employees, legal counsel, agents and controlling persons
against costs, expenses and liabilities to which they may become subject as a
result of Valuemetrics acting for TekInsight.
Prior to this engagement, Valuemetrics provided services to TekInsight
and its affiliates but had no material relationship with those persons.

DESCRIPTION OF SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK
The following summary of the terms of our Series A preferred stock,
while complete in material respects, is nonetheless a summary. It is qualified
by reference to the full description of the certificate of designations for our
Series A preferred stock, filed as an exhibit to this registration statement.
Ranking of the Series A Preferred Stock
The Series A preferred stock will rank senior to common stock and any
other classes of capital stock subsequently authorized by the board of
directors. The board of directors may, however, authorize classes or series of
capital stock to be issued on equal footing with the Series A preferred stock.
Voting Rights
Except as otherwise required by law, the holders of shares of Series A
preferred stock are entitled to attend all annual and special meetings of
stockholders. Together with the holders of all other classes of stock, holders
of Series A preferred stock are entitled to attend and vote on any matter
properly put before stockholders. Holders of Series A preferred stock will vote
with holders of common stock as a group on an as-converted basis. In addition,
holders of Series A preferred stock are entitled to a separate class vote if
TekInsight:
o takes any action that would alter or change the rights of the Series A
preferred stock;
o creates a new class of capital stock that has a liquidation preference
over the Series A preferred stock or that adversely changes the rights
of the Series A preferred stockholders;
o increases the authorized number of shares of the Series A preferred
stock; or
o takes any action not contemplated by the articles of incorporation
that would result in a tax to Series A preferred stockholders.
All of the preceding actions require approval by holders of a majority of the
Series A preferred shares voting as a class in order to be implemented. If any
of the preceding actions were to be approved, any holders that did not approve
of the transaction have the right for 30 days to convert their shares into
TekInsight common stock.
Dividends
Holders of the Series A preferred stock are entitled to receive
dividends on a pro rata as converted basis to the same extent as holders of
common stock are entitled to receive dividends. Dividends will generally not be
paid to any capital stockholders unless dividends are also paid to the Series A
preferred stockholders. In addition, except for employee repurchases and similar
events, junior securities will not be redeemed unless an equal amount is
available for payment to holders of Series A preferred stock.
Liquidation Preference
Series A preferred stockholders are entitled to a liquidation
preference equal to the average of the closing sales price of TekInsight common
stock as quoted on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market for the 10 consecutive trading
days immediately preceding the closing date of the merger, as adjusted.
-39-
<PAGE>
Conversion
The Series A preferred stock is convertible at any time beginning one
year after the closing date of the merger. The Series A preferred stock is also
generally immediately convertible in the event of a:
o reclassification or change in number of shares issuable on conversion
of the Series A preferred (other than changes in par value);
o consolidation, merger or mandatory share exchange (other than mergers
or exchanges where TekInsight is the surviving company); or
o sale of substantially all of TekInsight's property to another company.
Anti-dilution Adjustments
The conversion ratio of the Series A preferred stock is subject to pro
rata anti-dilution adjustment in the event of stock dividends, stock splits, and
reverse stock splits. In the event a nonstock dividend is declared, Series A
preferred stockholders will receive their pro rata share of the dividend on an
as converted basis along with the common stock, including any adjustments.
Automatic Conversion
Any shares of Series A preferred stock that remain outstanding on the
fifth anniversary of the closing date are subject to mandatory conversion on a
one-for-one basis, as adjusted, subject to payment of any accrued and unpaid
dividends.

COMPARISON OF SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS
If the merger is completed, holders of Data Systems common stock will
become holders of TekInsight Series A preferred stock. The rights of holders of
Data Systems common stock are governed by Data Systems' articles of
incorporation, bylaws and the Michigan Business Corporation Act. The rights of
Series A preferred stock holders will be governed by TekInsight's certificate of
designation, for the Series A preferred stock, certificate of incorporation,
bylaws and the Delaware General Corporation Law. The rights of shareholders of
Data Systems differ in a number of respects from the rights of stockholders of
TekInsight. The following is a summary of the material differences. Unless
otherwise noted, the rights of stockholders of TekInsight are generally the same
as those of shareholders of Data Systems.

Control Share Acquisitions under the Michigan Business Corporation Act
Under Chapter 7B of the Michigan Business Corporation Act, a company
that acquires a substantial portion of the shares of a target company may only
gain voting control of such shares if both holders of an absolute majority of
shares of the target company and holders of a majority of non-interested shares
of the target company vote to grant voting control. Interested shares are those
held by officers or employee-directors of the target company, or shares of the
target company held by stockholders of a potential acquiring corporation.
Therefore, the statute ensures that the acquisition of voting control of the
target company shall not take effect without the affirmative vote of holders of
a majority of the disinterested shareholders of Data Systems. The bylaws of Data
Systems provide that Chapter 7B does not apply to it.

<PAGE>
Delaware Anti-Takeover Law
The combined company will be subject to the provisions of Section 203
of the Delaware General Corporation Law. Under Section 203, TekInsight would
generally be prohibited from engaging in any business combination with any
stockholder for a period of three years following the time that such stockholder
becomes an interested stockholder unless:
o prior to this time, the board of directors of TekInsight approved
either the business combination or the transaction that resulted in
the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder;
o upon completion of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder
becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned
at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the
time the transaction commenced, excluding shares owned by persons who
are directors and also officers, and by employee stock plans in which
employee participants do not have the right to determine
confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be
tendered in a tender or exchange offer; or
o at or subsequent to such time, the business combination is approved by
the board of directors and approved by the affirmative vote of at
least 66-2/3% of shares not owned by the interested stockholder.
In general, Section 203 defines an interested stockholder as any entity
or person beneficially owning 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the
corporation and any entity or person affiliated with or controlling or
controlled by such entity or person.
Under Section 203, a "business combination" includes:
o any merger or consolidation involving the corporation and the
interested stockholder;
o any sale, transfer, pledge or other disposition of 10% or more of the
assets of the corporation involving the interested stockholders;
o any transaction that results in the issuance or transfer by the
corporation of any stock of the corporation to the interested
stockholders, subject to limited exceptions;
o any transaction involving the corporation that has the effect of
increasing the proportionate share of the stock of any class or series
of the corporation beneficially owned by the interested stockholder;
or
o the receipt by the interested stockholder of the benefit of any loans,
advances, guarantees, pledges or other financial benefits provided by
or through the corporation.

MATERIAL FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE MERGER
The following is the joint opinion of Nixon Peabody LLP, special tax
counsel to TekInsight, and Bodman, Longley & Dahling LLP, special tax counsel to
Data Systems, as to the material federal income tax consequences of the merger.
The joint opinion is based upon the Internal Revenue Code, existing and
proposed treasury regulations, published rulings and court decisions in effect
on the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, all of which are subject to
retroactive change. Our opinion is not binding on the Internal Revenue Service
or the courts. No ruling will be requested from the Internal Revenue Service on
any of the issues described in our opinion. We cannot assure you that the
Internal Revenue Service will not take a position that is contrary to ours. Our
opinion assumes that the information contained in this proxy
statement/prospectus is complete, that the factual representations made to us by
the management of each of TekInsight and Data Systems are accurate, and that the
merger will be completed as described in the merger agreement. Our opinion also
assumes that the Series A preferred stock of TekInsight is not considered
nonqualified preferred stock ("NQPS") under Internal Revenue Code Section
351(g). Special tax counsel does not believe the new NQPS rules should apply to
the Series A preferred stock of TekInsight. However, because of the lack of
guidance from the Internal Revenue Service on this issue, there can be no
assurance that such rules do not apply to the Series A preferred stock of
TekInsight. If the Series A preferred stock of TekInsight is treated as NQPS, it
will be treated as property other than stock for purposes of taxing its
recipients in the merger, and the nonrecognition provisions of the Internal
Revenue Code will not apply. The NQPS provisions were added to the Internal
Revenue Code in August of 1997, and no Internal Revenue Service guidance, in the
form of regulations or otherwise, has been promulgated to clarify definitional
issues and the scope of applicability of the new NQPS rules.
If the Internal Revenue Service were to successfully challenge the
status of the merger as part of a tax-free reorganization, holders of Data
Systems common stock would be treated as if they sold their Data Systems common
stock in a taxable transaction. In such event, each holder would recognize gain
or loss equal to the difference between the holder's tax basis in the shares of
Data Systems common stock surrendered in the merger and the fair market value,
at the effective time of the merger, of the Series A preferred stock of
TekInsight received in exchange therefor (plus any cash received in lieu of a
fractional share of the Series A preferred stock of TekInsight.)
Our opinion applies only to shareholders of Data Systems that hold
their Data Systems common stock as a capital asset. Our opinion does not address
tax consequences that may be relevant to particular taxpayers in light of their
individual circumstances. Our opinion does not address tax consequences to
taxpayers that are subject to special treatment under the federal income tax
laws (such as persons who hold restricted stock or stock options or who
otherwise received compensation for services in the form of stock, options or
other interests in Data Systems common stock, financial institutions, dealers in
securities, tax-exempt organizations, insurance companies, persons holding Data
Systems common stock as part of a hedge, straddle or conversion transaction,
persons subject to the alternative minimum tax, and non-U.S. taxpayers.) Our
opinion does not address any tax consequences arising under the laws of any
state, locality or foreign jurisdiction.
If you are a shareholder of Data Systems prior to the merger, and the
merger is completed as described in the merger agreement, subject to the
assumptions described above, it is our opinion that:
o Except to the extent that you receive cash for fractional shares, if
you exchange your Data Systems common stock for shares of Series A
preferred stock of TekInsight in the merger, you will not recognize
any gain or loss on the exchange.
o Your adjusted tax basis for the Series A preferred stock of TekInsight
received by you in the merger will be the same as your adjusted tax
basis of your Data Systems common stock prior to the exchange.
-45-
<PAGE>
o Your holding period for the Series A preferred stock of TekInsight
received in the merger will include the holding period of your Data
Systems common stock surrendered in the merger.
o To the extent that you receive cash for shares of Data Systems common
stock, you will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between
the amount of cash received and your tax basis in such Data Systems
common stock surrendered in the exchange. Any gain or loss will
generally be capital gain or loss.
The foregoing discussion is for general information only. You are
strongly urged to consult with your own tax advisor to determine the specific
impact that the exchange would have on your own tax situation, including tax
consequences under state, local foreign or other tax laws.

<PAGE>
DISSENTERS' RIGHTS
If you are a shareholder of Data Systems, you have the right to dissent
from the merger and obtain payment of fair value of your Data Systems shares if
you follow the procedures required by Section 761 through Section 774 of the
Michigan Business Corporation Act, the material provisions of which are
summarized below. The full text of these statutes is set out in Appendix A to
this proxy statement/prospectus.
Under the Michigan Business Corporation Act, you may dissent and Data
Systems will pay you the fair value of your shares of Data Systems common stock
if (a) you file with Data Systems before the vote is taken written notice of
your intent to demand payment for your shares if the merger is approved and (b)
you do not vote in favor of the merger. Written demands should be addressed to
Data Systems Network Corporation, 34705 W. 12 Mile Road, Suite 300, Farmington
Hills, Michigan 48331, Attention: Corporate Secretary. For purposes of Section
761 through Section 774, the "fair value" of shares of a dissenting shareholder
is the value of Data Systems shares immediately before the effectuation of the
merger, excluding any appreciation or depreciation in anticipation of the merger
unless the exclusion would be inequitable. Fair value may be determined to be
more than or the same as the merger consideration offered in the merger, but it
may also be determined to be less than the merger consideration.
Because a proxy which does not contain voting instructions will, unless
revoked, be voted for adoption of the merger agreement, a holder of Data Systems
shares who votes by proxy and who wishes to exercise his or her dissenters'
rights must (i) vote against, or (ii) abstain from voting on the merger.
If the merger is approved at the Data Systems special meeting of
shareholders, Data Systems will deliver a written dissenters' notice to those
shareholders of Data Systems who complied with the requirements to provide
notice of intent to demand payment for shares. This dissenters' notice will be
sent no later than 10 days after the effective time of the merger. The
dissenters' notice will (a) state where payment demand must be sent and when
certificates must be deposited, (b) supply a form for demanding payment that
includes the date of the first announcement to the news media or to shareholders
of the terms of the merger and requires that the shareholder certify whether he
or she acquired beneficial ownership of the shares before such date and (c) set
a date by which the payment demand must be received, which date may be not less
that 30 nor more than 60 days after the date the dissenters' notice was
delivered to shareholders.
A shareholder who sends a dissenters' notice must demand payment,
certify whether he or she acquired beneficial ownership of Data Systems common
stock before the date required to be set forth in the dissenters' notice and
deposit his or her certificates in accordance with the terms of the notice.
Shareholders of Data Systems who do not demand payment or deposit certificates
within the time set forth in the dissenters' notice lose all rights to payment
for their Data Systems common stock under the provisions of Section 761 through
Section 774 of the Michigan Business Corporation Act.
Except for shares acquired after the date of the first announcement to
news media or shareholders of the terms of a proposed merger, which are
discussed below, within seven days after the effective time of the merger or
receipt of a payment demand is received, whichever is later, Data Systems will
pay each dissenter the amount Data Systems estimates to be the fair value of the
shares plus accrued interest. The payment will be accompanied by (a) Data
Systems' balance sheet as of the most recent fiscal year end, an income
statement for such fiscal year and a statement of changes in shareholders'
equity for that year plus the latest available interim financial statements; (b)
Data Systems' estimate of the fair value of Data Systems common stock; (c) an
explanation of how interest was calculated; and (d) a statement of the
dissenter's right to make a supplemental demand for payment if the shareholder
believes that the amount paid is less than the fair value of his or her shares
or that the interest due is incorrectly calculated. After-acquired shares may
receive different and somewhat less favorable treatment than those shares
acquired before such announcements. At its election, Data Systems may withhold
payment from a dissenter who holds "after-acquired" shares, until such time as
payment to other shareholders is required. Should Data Systems elect to withhold
payment after the effective time, Data Systems will estimate the fair value of
the dissenter's shares plus interest and offer to pay this amount to each
dissenter who agrees to accept it in full satisfaction. Along with its offer,
Data Systems will send a statement of its estimate of the fair value of the
shares, an explanation of how interest was calculated and a statement of the
dissenter's right to make a supplemental demand for payment if the shareholder
believes that the amount offered is less than the fair value of his or her
shares or that the interest due is incorrectly calculated.
-47-
<PAGE>
If you believe the payment received, or the amount offered, in the case
of after-acquired shares, is less than the fair value of your shares or that the
interest due is incorrectly calculated, you must notify Data Systems in writing
of your own estimate of the fair value of the shares and interest due and make a
supplemental demand for payment of the amount you believe to be owing. This
right is waived unless you make your demand within 30 days after Data Systems
made or offered payment for your shares.
If a supplemental demand remains unsettled, Data Systems shall commence
a proceeding within 60 days after receiving the demand and petition the circuit
court of the county in which Data Systems' principal place of business was
located to determine the fair value and accrued interest. Should Data Systems
fail to do so, it must pay each dissenter whose demand remains unsettled the
amount demanded. If fair value is determined to be more than the merger
consideration, each dissenter that is a party to the proceeding is entitled to
judgment for the amount of the excess with respect to his or her shares plus
interest or, in the case of after-acquired shares for which payment was not
made, the total amount of the fair value plus interest.
A proxy or vote against the merger will not, by itself, be regarded as
a written objection for purposes of asserting dissenters' rights. This summary
is qualified in its entirety by the text of Sections 761 through 774 of the
Michigan Business Corporation Act, which is attached to this proxy
statement/prospectus as Appendix A. Shareholders intending to exercise
dissenters' rights are urged to seek the advice of counsel. Failure to comply
with all requirements of Sections 761 through 774 of the Michigan Business
Corporation Act will result in the loss of dissenters' rights.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
OF TEKINSIGHT.COM, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed financial statements
have been prepared to show the effects of the acquisition of Data Systems by
TekInsight pursuant to the terms and conditions of the agreement and plan of
merger dated as of February 18, 2000, as amended April 4, 2000 and June 28,
2000, with an assumption that the average market value as quoted on the Nasdaq
SmallCap Market for the 10 days immediately prior to the closing date of the
merger is below $5.00 per share resulting in an aggregate merger consideration
of $12.5 million.
There are three alternative scenarios for the merger consideration: (i)
$12.5 million if the average market value of TekInsight common stock is less
than $5.00, (ii) $16 million if the average market value of TekInsight common
stock is $5.00 or more but less than $7.00, or (iii) $18 million if the average
market value of TekInsight common stock is $7.00 or more per share. The merger
consideration will be adjusted accordingly through the issuance of Series A
preferred stock in exchange for all of the common stock of Data Systems. The
acquisition is accounted for as a purchase.
The following unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet presents
the pro forma financial position of TekInsight at March 31, 2000 as if the
acquisition of Data Systems had occurred on such date. Included is an adjustment
to record the elimination of Data Systems' previous shares and the issuance of
TekInsight's shares of Series A preferred stock to former shareholders of Data
Systems.
The unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations for the
nine months ending March 31, 2000 and the year ended June 30, 1999 reflect the
combined results of TekInsight and Data Systems as if the acquisition had
occurred on July 1, 1999 and July 1, 1998, respectively.
The unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations do not
necessarily represent actual results that would have been achieved had the
companies been together as of July 1, 1998, nor may they be indicative of future
operations. These unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements should
be read in conjunction with TekInsight's and Data Systems' historical financial
statements and notes thereto.

TekInsight.Com, Inc. and Subsidiaries/Data Systems Network Corporation
Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements
A. The following unaudited pro forma adjustments are included in the
accompanying unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet at
March 31, 2000:
(1) To record the acquisition of all of the issued stock of Data
Systems with an assumption that the average market value of
TekInsight common stock as quoted on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market
for the 10 days immediately prior to the closing date of the
merger is at or below $5.00 per share resulting in a purchase
price of $12.5 million. However, there are two alternative
scenarios for the merger consideration: (i) $16 million if the
average market value of TekInsight common stock is more than
$5.00 but less than $7.00, or (ii) $18 million if the average
market value of TekInsight common stock is more than $7.00 per
share. The merger consideration will be adjusted accordingly
through the issuance of Series A preferred stock in exchange for
all of the common stock of Data Systems. Based upon the merger
agreement exchange ratio taken in conjunction with the Series A
preferred conversion ratio, the effective conversion ratio of
the Series A preferred stock is one to one. The acquisition is
accounted for as a purchase. Costs of the acquisition have been
estimated at $250,000.
B. The following pro forma adjustments are included in the
accompanying unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of
operations for the nine months ended March 31, 2000 and for the
year ended June 30, 1999:
(1) To record the amount of amortized goodwill recognized in the
nine-month period and one-year period, respectively. If the
average market value of TekInsight common stock is $5.00 or
more, the amount of amortization of goodwill will increase by
$175,000 for the nine-month period and $233,000 for the one-year
period respectively. If the average market value of TekInsight
common stock is $7.00 or more, the amount of amortization of
goodwill will increase by an additional $100,000 for the
nine-month period and an additional $133,000 for the one-year
period, respectively. The goodwill is amortized over a
fifteen-year period.
C. The weighted average number of shares used in the pro forma
computation of net loss per share assumes the conversion of all of
the Series A preferred shares issued to the shareholders of Data
Systems into common stock of TekInsight.

INFORMATION ABOUT TEKINSIGHT
Business
TekInsight was initially incorporated in Delaware on May 27, 1989 as
Universal Self Care, Inc. and changed its name to Tadeo Holdings, Inc. on
February 2, 1998. Tadeo changed its name to TekInsight in November 1999. Prior
to TekInsight's acquisition of AstraTek and the creation of TekInsight Services
(formerly known as Tadeo-E Commerce Corp.), TekInsight supplied and distributed
both prescription and non-prescription medications and durable medical equipment
and supplies principally to persons suffering from diabetes. These businesses
were sold in January 1998.
Since January 1998, TekInsight has operated as a holding company which,
through its two principal operating subsidiaries, AstraTek and TekInsight
Services, (i) develops computer software products and provides computer network
related services for the management of distributed client/server networks
operating on systems such as Microsoft Windows NT, through AstraTek, and (ii)
provides consulting, technical and other services to eCommerce clients on the
Internet, including consulting and development services for the maintenance,
design and enhancement of eCommerce sites through TekInsight Services. Products
and services provided by AstraTek include software solutions for systems
management, security management and network-wide problem management and
resolution.
Recent Developments
On May 17, 2000 TekInsight acquired Big Technologies, Inc., an Internet
firm specializing in the development of government sites with advanced
transactional applications. Since 1995 Big Technologies has enhanced
communication between governments and constituents, saving both parties time and
money, by creating transactional Web applications for municipal agencies. The
firm's most notable municipal sites are the City of Boston
(www.cityofboston.com) and Suffolk County Registry of Deeds
(www.suffolkdeeds.com.)
As merger consideration, Big Technologies shareholders received $1.05
million of TekInsight common stock, $150,000 in cash and 3.5% of Big
Technologies common stock. Shareholders can also receive an additional $650,000
if Big Technologies attains specified revenue targets during the first year
after the merger. As part of the merger, through November 30, 2000 TekInsight
has the right to repurchase up to $100,000 of the shares issued in the merger at
the average market price as quoted on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market for the five
consecutive trading days ending on the trading day that immediately precedes the
Closing Date of the merger. If TekInsight does not exercise this right of
repurchase, Big Technologies shareholders have the right to require TekInsight
to repurchase up to $100,000 of the shares issued in the merger through December
2000, at the average market price as quoted on The Nasdaq SmallCap Market for
the five consecutive trading days ending on the trading day that immediately
precedes the Closing Date of the merger. In connection with the merger, Mr.
Tager, formerly the president and chief executive officer of Big Technologies,
signed a three-year employment agreement to continue as president and chief
executive officer of the new company.
On May 18, 2000, TekInsight announced the formation of TekInsight
e-Government Services, (egov.tekinsight.com), a joint marketing effort with Data
Systems intended to serve large and small municipalities and state and
government agencies. TekInsight believes that its streaming XML technology will
allow the government clients to provide services online on a more cost-effective
basis. Services provided by TekInsight e-Government Services include application
development, integration and support, as well as the installation of operating
systems that allow continuous status and performance monitoring. On June 30,
2000 Big Technologies changed its name to TekInsight e-Government Services, Inc.

<PAGE>
BugSolver.Com, Inc., a subsidiary of TekInsight, provides technology
and services for the resolution of computer hardware and software systems
failures. On April 14, 2000, BugSolver announced the public availability of its
first service, BugSolver Developer. BugSolver Developer is capable of generating
an in-depth profile of an operating failure experienced by the user's personal
computer. Using the BugSolver Developer service, the profile is sent
automatically via the Internet to the BugSolver Web site where a professional
reviews the profile, bypassing the need to communicate with the user and cutting
down greatly on the time needed to diagnose and correct a computer failure or
problem.
BugSolver has signed its first commercial agreement for deployment of
its products in an agreement with LaborSoft, a company which provides labor
relations organizations the systems, networks and other tools that they need to
manage their workforce and labor related issues more effectively. In this
agreement, BugSolver will supply both help desk support and continuing software
development as part of LaborSoft's web-based service that is sold along with
additional hardware, which agreement requires LaborSoft to allocate a minimum of
15% and a maximum of 20% of its gross revenues (estimated at $300 per month per
customer) to be earned from LaborSoft's provision of this service. We estimate
that a revenue stream will develop from this LaborSoft agreement by September
2000.
The Help Desk Institute, a computer services industry research group,
estimates that up to 80% of technical support cost stems from the time it takes
to uncover and re-create the series of events leading to a computer failure.
BugSolver Developer reduces this time significantly and generates information
regarding the condition of the computer at the time of failure, allowing for
more efficient problem-solving.
Industry Overview -- AstraTek
The use of distributed, client/server networks has grown tremendously
in the last ten years, with the increase in PC-based Local Area Networks being
one of the fastest-growing aspects of the client/server market. These LANs,
largely dependent on servers running network operating systems provided by
companies such as Microsoft, are enabling a new generation of client/server
applications, such as e-mail and group collaboration software such as Microsoft
Exchange and Lotus Notes. As a result, LANs which were originally intended to be
used as relatively simple workgroup systems, have lost their "local"
characteristic and have developed into mission-critical platforms for
enterprise-scale applications. As LANs, and the network operating systems that
support them, have been used to operate mission-critical applications and
services, organizations have become increasingly dependent upon them.
Additionally, TekInsight believes that the average number of users supported by
these LANs has been increasing. As LANs have grown larger and technically more
complex, the problems associated with maintaining their security and integrity
have increased and become more difficult for information technology departments
to manage. The management challenges associated with maintaining the security
and integrity of LANs include:
Systems Administration
Systems administrators within technology, or IT, departments need to
resolve a wide range of issues and problems on a daily basis, including managing
the configuration of network servers, administering users and groups and
managing disk space on critical servers and workstations. Problems such as these
may not be solved quickly, placing the availability of the network at risk and
the use of mission-critical, client/server applications throughout an enterprise
in jeopardy. Additionally, the implementation of new or upgraded network
operating systems ("NOS") will result in increased strain on an organization's
IT resources. Each NOS upgrade adds levels of complexity and TekInsight believes
this will be particularly true of the next major upgrade of Windows NT.
Computer security breaches are a pervasive and growing problem.
Although many IT organizations have installed firewalls and implemented security
management strategies focusing on preventing "hacking in" from outside the
organization, these efforts do not address the most serious security-related
losses which are the result of unauthorized access by insiders.
-57-
<PAGE>
IT departments are faced with conflicting pressures both to: (i) manage
increasing complexity and guarantee better service for users who are demanding
assurance of high productivity and availability and (ii) reduce the total cost
of ownership for client/server computing. Adding to this challenge is a lack of
qualified IT personnel. Pressure to reduce the total cost of ownership and the
increasing difficulty and expense in locating qualified IT personnel has driven
IT management to establish processes and develop or purchase tools to manage IT
assets.
AstraTek's mission is: (i) to provide customized professional services
to clients by designing new or altering existing LAN configurations, or by
developing customized systems management tools that manage the security and
integrity of the clients' distributed client/server networks as they increase in
size and complexity, and remediate discovered network problems, all of which
leads to reduced total cost of ownership for their enterprise computing, as well
as (ii) to develop, market (either on its own or through third-party
distributors) and support "shrink wrapped" software products that accomplish the
same network management goals.
TekInsight Services, Inc.
The Internet is an increasingly significant global medium for
communications. The increasing functionality, accessibility and overall usage of
the Internet, and online service providers, such as America Online and The
Microsoft Network, have made the Internet an attractive commercial medium. The
portion of the Internet known as the Web, which has become almost synonymous
with the Internet as a whole, has experienced the fastest growth and the most
acceptance among ordinary users. Growth in Internet usage has been fueled by a
number of factors, including:
o the availability of a growing number of useful products and services
via the Internet;
o the large and growing installed base of personal computers in the
workplace and home;
o advances in the performance and speed of personal computers and
modems;
o improvements in Internet network infrastructure;
o easier and cheaper access to the Internet; and
o increased awareness of the Internet among businesses and consumers.
As Internet accessibility, usage and functionality continue to grow,
the Internet is increasingly being used as a medium for direct communication
among users, such as e-mail and bulletin boards, as well as a rapidly growing
sales and marketing channel. A growing number of users has transacted business
over the Web, such as trading securities, buying goods, purchasing airline
tickets and paying bills.
Given the size of the projected number of Internet transactions and the
demographics of existing and projected Internet users, management believes that
a large market exists for the provision of services by companies, like
TekInsight Services, that have the capacity to design, maintain and operate a
commercial presence on the Internet (through Web design, hosting and other
arrangements) and to provide further technical and consulting services related
to additional aspects of a client's electronic commerce operations on the
Internet.
Current Operation--AstraTek
Background
AstraTek began operations in 1995, developing software and related
products for Internet and intranet technology and providing consulting and
professional services for several companies. It originally was formed as the
Advanced Technology Consulting group at Bankers Trust and split off from Bankers
Trust and began operating independently in April 1997. TekInsight acquired
AstraTek in October 1998.

<PAGE>
Products
Since 1997 AstraTek has had a software license agreement with Viasoft,
Inc. whereby AstraTek granted Viasoft exclusive rights to use AstraTek products,
principally the VisualAudit product. Since February 1998, Viasoft has promoted,
marketed and distributed the VisualAudit products as part of its OnMark 2000
Workbench suite of products. OnMark 2000 Workbench for Excel, which includes
VisualAudit for Excel, is a PC-based software program that discovers, analyzes
and repairs Year 2000 problems in Microsoft Excel spreadsheet applications. This
product has been successfully marketed to Fortune 1000 companies for their
desktop PC-based software Year 2000 compliance needs. AstraTek's VisualAudit
product for Access has also been released by Viasoft as the OnMark 2000
Workbench for Access product. According to the terms of the Viasoft software
license agreement, Viasoft pays a royalty fee to AstraTek equal to 25% of the
gross revenues generated by the sales of AstraTek's products which have been
licensed to Viasoft. AstraTek is obligated under the terms of the Viasoft
software license agreement to provide Viasoft with enhancements to the Viasoft
licensed products and is obligated to devote man hours to the development of
such enhancements. The Viasoft software license agreement sets an absolute limit
for such support to a dollar value, at $100 per man hour, equal to 40% of
royalties received by AstraTek. As of March 31, 2000, AstraTek had earned
$1,022,978 under the Viasoft software license agreement.
Under the Viasoft software license agreement, Viasoft has a right of
first negotiation. If AstraTek desires either to sell ownership rights to its
technology not already subject to the Viasoft software license agreement or to
distribute such technology exclusively through another third-party distributor,
AstraTek is obligated first to negotiate in good faith exclusively for a period
of fifteen days with Viasoft for such sale or distribution. The right of first
negotiation does not apply to products AstraTek distributes on a non-exclusive
basis, except that AstraTek is obliged to make available to Viasoft equal terms.
AstraTek is also obligated to grant what is termed Level 2 support to Viasoft
customers who purchase Viasoft licensed products, subject to Viasoft's option to
assign to AstraTek its maintenance contracts for Level 1 support of Viasoft
licensed products under specified circumstances. Level 1 support is defined as
initial questions and reports from customers. Level 2 support is more technical,
engineering-type support provided after Viasoft has been unable to respond to a
customer's immediate needs or questions. Problems requiring Level 2 support
usually involve more in-depth review and may require a number of days to
resolve. The software license agreement with Viasoft terminates on June 30, 2001
and is automatically renewable for successive one-year periods unless either
party provides the other with written notice of cancellation at least 90 days
prior to the applicable expiration date.
Professional Services
AstraTek provides professional services to clients encompassing all
aspects of distributed systems applications, including multi-tier
client/servers, Internet-enabled applications, network security, systems
management and performance enhancement. AstraTek has performed these services
for several major software companies and financial institutions and has acted as
a development partner for ISVs, including Microsoft, by assisting them in
building their computer software products. AstraTek has performed the following
services for the following companies:
o helped IBM develop a global single sign-on product allowing a user to
log into and open simultaneously heterogeneous computer systems;
o developed the software registration tool for Microsoft's Windows 2000
and Windows 98 operating systems, allowing customers to use the
Internet to register Windows and other Microsoft products;
o developed a software testing system for Microsoft. The testing
facility is an automated framework that controls testing across
distributed systems. Its capabilities include multi-threaded test
scheduling, unattended installation of software on test clients, and
automatic re-creation of testing environments for regression testing;
-59-
<PAGE>
o developed a monitoring and analysis infrastructure for Microsoft to
improve the quality of its software testing process. The system
complements the previously developed testing facility by monitoring
systems under test and collecting log files and other data made
available by plug-in diagnostic probes. The collected data will be
stored in a repository, to be processed by coverage and error analysis
tools for generation of statistical data; and
o developed and enhanced the encryption functionality of the WinFrame
product for Citrix. The work leveraged industry standard encryption
technologies from RSA Data Security. The enhanced encryption abilities
allow WinFrame to be used in secure application markets.
AstraTek entered into a consulting and professional services agreement
with 4th Peripheral Technologies, Inc. pursuant to which AstraTek is engaged to
provide executive advisory consulting services, as requested, and on a fee
schedule to be negotiated at the time an assignment is made, intended to
increase 4th Peripheral's value and strategic position in connection with its
business as a developer of cyber extension technology to provide remote access
to data from handheld devices. In an effort to strengthen AstraTek's strategic
relationships with 4th Peripheral, TekInsight purchased in a private placement
of securities 250,000 shares of 4th Peripheral common stock, par value $.0001
per share, for $250,000.
TekInsight Services
General
TekInsight Services provides technical and consulting services to
eCommerce companies (including Web site design, development, maintenance,
enhancement and hosting or operation) and other Internet-based activities, as
well as develops its own proprietary eCommerce businesses. As part of its
operating activities, in order to further strategic alliances generally with
companies for which it is providing consulting and technical services,
TekInsight may make working capital loans to or equity investments in such
partners.
Customer Relationships
On May 28, 1999, as amended by agreements dated as of June 1, 1999,
TekInsight Services entered into a Web design and consulting agreement with
Azurel, Ltd. Under the terms of the Azurel Web agreement, based upon the fee
schedule to be included in that agreement, TekInsight Services agreed to provide
all necessary consulting and development services to design, maintain and
enhance Azurel's electronic commerce Internet sites and other related electronic
commerce marketing vehicles. TekInsight Services paid Azurel $500,000 for
Azurel's provision of content and marketing consulting services in connection
with assistance provided to TekInsight's Services' electronic commerce
development activities for Azurel and other clients. At the same time, to
enhance the strategic relationship between Azurel, TekInsight Services and
TekInsight, TekInsight Services lent to Azurel an aggregate of $1,528,167 under
the terms of a credit agreement, as amended, dated as of June 1, 1999 (with part
of the aggregate principal reflecting the restructuring of a March 31, 1999
short-term $500,000 promissory note), with interest payable at the rate of 8%
per annum, payable monthly, and with all principal and accrued interest due on
May 28, 2001. Repayment of amounts outstanding under the credit agreement was
secured by a pledge of approximately 66.66% of the outstanding shares of Azurel
operating subsidiaries under the terms of a pledge security agreement, but which
pledge has since been released following a sale of those subsidiaries by Azurel
and the restructuring of the security arrangement with a pledge to TekInsight
Services of part of the purchase price therefor (a $1,800,000 subordinated note,
due in May 2002 as to principal and accrued interest, made jointly by the
acquired subsidiaries in favor of Azurel). In consideration for its pledge
release, the exercise price on warrants to acquire 500,000 shares of Azurel
common stock held by TekInsight and TekInsight Services was lowered to $.60 per
share (the then current market price of Azurel common stock) from $1.50 per
share. The Azurel warrants were received from Azurel originally in further
consideration for advances to Azurel under the credit agreement. The shares
acquired upon exercise of such Azurel warrants are subject to registration
rights provided under the terms of a registration rights agreement, as amended,
dated as of June 1, 1999. Due to Azurel's current financial condition,
TekInsight Services' work under the Azurel Web agreement has ceased.

<PAGE>
Under agreements dated as of June 30, 1999, TekInsight Services entered
into both a Web design and consulting agreement and an online hosting agreement
with StyleSite Marketing, Inc. (formerly Diplomat Direct Marketing Corporation),
a public company engaged in the business of distributing women's and children's
fashion apparel and related accessories through catalogue sales, including the
Lew Magram and Brownstone studios catalogues, and over the Internet. Under the
terms of the Web agreement, based upon the fee schedules provided in that
agreement, TekInsight Services was to provide all necessary consulting and
development services to design, maintain and enhance Style's electronic commerce
Internet sites and other related electronic commerce marketing vehicles, as well
as to host those sites on behalf of Style. TekInsight Services paid Style
$500,000 for Style's provision of content and marketing consulting services in
connection with assistance provided to TekInsight Services' electronic commerce
development activities for Style and other clients. In addition to payments by
Style for the services provided under the Style Web agreements, in further
consideration for its services to Style under the Style Web agreements,
TekInsight Services will receive royalties from Style based upon Style's ongoing
electronic commerce businesses. Style filed for protection under Chapter 11 of
the federal bankruptcy code, and all work under the Web design consulting
agreement and the hosting agreement, has ceased.
On November 5, 1999, the Company signed a web site design and
development agreement with Med-Emerg International the largest physician
management company in Canada. Med-Emerg through its subsidiary
HealthyConnect.com, Inc., (www.healthyconnect.com), an Internet information
technology company, uses enabling technology to link patients, physicians and
service providers. Pursuant to the agreement, TekInsight will receive, measured
as of the date of the agreement, a total of $775,000, payable in three equal
monthly payments of $50,000 and three equal monthly payments of $75,000 along
with 320,000 shares of Med-Emerg common stock having a fair market value of
$1.25 per share on the date of the agreement ($400,000). The Med-Emerg common
stock became deliverable on June 5, 2000. In return, TekInsight will jointly
develop with Med-Emerg a health portal which will feature HealthyConnect.com's
browser software products called Professional Health Monitor 1.0 TM and
clinic@home 1.0 TM. These products are intended to offer such features as online
EMR records, health library, personal health library, health magazines, 24-hour
online health help desk, secure pharmacy, and physician locator.
TekInsight Services has entered into an agreement with Business Talk
Radio.Net, Inc. under which, for a payment of $250,000, TekInsight Services
obtained an assignable credit for the purchase of advertising time on radio
programs operated by Business Talk having a value of $1,200,000, and shares of
Series C preferred stock convertible into 5% of the currently outstanding
capital stock of Business Talk. As part of the transaction, TekInsight Services
obtained an option to acquire an equivalent number of shares of Business Talk
capital stock for an exercise price of $250,000 (which it exercised in February
2000), as well as the right to "stream" the content of Business Talk programming
on its and its affiliates Web sites during the course of a three-year period
without an additional payment to Business Talk. Business Talk creates and
distributes the content of its business-oriented radio programming for
broadcasting on third-party operated radio stations in a variety of markets
throughout the United States.
Other Activities
TekInsight makes strategic investments in other companies as
opportunities arise. TekInsight views these investments as a way to promote
strategic alliances with companies that either provide synergistic products
and/or services, or present opportunities for sales by TekInsight of its own
products and services.
Competition
The market for TekInsight products and services is highly competitive.
TekInsight anticipates that competition will continue to intensify as the use of
computers and the use of the Internet grows. The tremendous potential of the
Internet has attracted many companies from start-ups to well-established
businesses.
-61-
<PAGE>
AstraTek's principal competition is from providers of security analysis
and audit products, such as Axent Technologies, Inc. and Security Dynamics
Technologies, Inc., and from companies which make desktop management products
such as Microsoft and Intel Corporation. TekInsight expects competition for
AstraTek's products to grow as new companies enter the market and current
competitors expand their line of products and services. ISVs, such as Microsoft,
can also enhance existing products to include the systems management and
functionality aspects which TekInsight currently provides in its own proprietary
products and in its services.
The markets for AstraTek professional services and TekInsight
Services', BugSolver's and TekInsight e-Government's electronic commerce
services, are highly fragmented and are attracting many newer companies, as
there are few barriers to entry to the professional services and Internet
technology businesses. ISVs such as IBM and Microsoft are competitive in this
area, as are numerous consulting firms.
TekInsight expects that it will continue to create and offer innovative
products and creative professional services and that TekInsight will continue to
attract new clients in need of TekInsight's value-added electronic commerce
services. However, there is no assurance that TekInsight's competitors will not
introduce comparable products and services at similar or more attractive prices
in the future or that some companies may not create products which they can
integrate directly into their software and NOS. Increased competition could
erode the market for TekInsight's products and services and have a material
adverse affect on TekInsight's business, financial condition and results of
operation.
Future Strategy
TekInsight has not yet actively advertised its products and services,
but has relied on its reputation and contacts in the financial and computer
world for its sources of business. TekInsight has had significant repeat
business from Microsoft and believes that such companies and other large
institutions will be a source of revenues in the future. To date, TekInsight has
preferred to rely on the services of companies like Viasoft and their
significant connections, marketing contacts and expertise to promote and
distribute TekInsight's products.
TekInsight believes that its Web-based and other products and services
will give it greater exposure to the marketplace and will help it more
efficiently to develop products that meet the needs of and reach a greater
corporate and home-user audience that is in need of its various diagnostic tools
and other services.
TekInsight has created separate subsidiaries through which it plans to
develop additional specific products and services for future commercialization.
Patents and Trademarks
All employees of TekInsight (and its subsidiaries) are required to sign
confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements which seek to protect TekInsight's
rights in its intellectual property. These agreements assign to TekInsight
rights to intellectual property developed by TekInsight and its subsidiaries'
employees. TekInsight is a party to a software license agreement with Viasoft
through which it is has granted an exclusive license to use the name VisualAudit
and AstraTek. TekInsight has pending trademarks for the following: TekInsight,
AstraTek, BugSolver, TrendSeeker, Testwatch, and Applications Instrumentation
Wizard.

<PAGE>
Employees
As of June 30, 2000, TekInsight, TekInsight Services and BugSolver had
no employees, AstraTek had 13 full-time employees, four of whom are management
employees and TekInsight e-Government had six full-time employees, one of whom
is a management employee. TekInsight believes that its relationships with
AstraTek and TekInsight e-Government's employees are good. AstraTek also employs
six contract consultants.

Legal Proceedings
On July 10, 2000, TekInsight was named as a nominal defendant in a
stockholder's derivative action brought on behalf of TekInsight by Paul
Miletich, an alleged shareholder of TekInsight, against Brian D. Bookmeier,
James Linesch, Damon D. Testaverde and Alexander Kalpaxis as directors of
TekInsight . The case was filed in the Supreme Court of New York, New York
County, Case No. 114972. In his suit, Mr. Miletich alleges that the directors of
TekInsight breached their fiduciary duties of care and/or loyalty to TekInsight
by permitting TekInsight to enter into transactions with Stylesite Marketing,
Inc. and Azurel, Inc., resulting in a waste of corporate assets of TekInsight.
TekInsight intends to defend the suit vigorously.

Nine Months Ended March 31, 2000 Compared to Nine Months Ended March 31, 1999
Revenue for the nine month period ending March 31, 2000 was $1,528,814,
an increase of $225,504, or 17% from the 1999 nine month period. Several factors
contributed to this favorable variance: $585,714 in revenue associated with the
Internet Web design and development activities for Med-Emerg and $89,000 in
revenue associated with various web design projects for the 2000 nine month
period which did not exist during the 1999 nine month period. Offsetting such
revenue increases was the sales decrease of $394,689 for the Visual Audit
product during the 2000 nine month period.
-64-
<PAGE>
Total cost of goods sold during the 2000 nine month period was
$893,938, representing costs of approximately 58% of revenue for the period,
while total cost of goods sold for the 1999 nine month period was $575,860, or
approximately 44% of revenue. This 14% unfavorable variance as a percentage of
revenue is in part the result of an increase of $154,604 in cost of goods sold
associated with the increase in Internet Web design and development for
Med-Emerg and work associated with various other web design projects for the
2000 nine month period which did not exist during the 1999 nine month period.
Total operating expenses during the 2000 nine month period decreased to
$1,683,500, or 110% or revenue, as compared to $2,248,581, or 173% of revenue,
during the 1999 nine month period. A contributing factor relates to the improved
process by which operations record and capture capitalized software costs as it
relates to salary expenses during the 2000 nine month period, and a reduction in
TekInsight's full-time equivalent head count.
Other income and expenses include interest income of $379,080 during
the 2000 nine month period compared to $508,006 during the 1999 nine month
period. The 25% decrease is primarily related to the Gainor Note and the
quarterly interest payments, which note was paid in full during the 1999 nine
month period.
Net loss for the 2000 nine month period of $444,237 is primarily
attributable to the losses from operations, in the amount of $1,048,623.
Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 1999 Compared to Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 1998
Revenues for the year ended June 30, 1999 were $1,514,849, an increase
of $518,376, or 52%, from the year ended June 30, 1998. Several factors
contributed to this increase. Revenue associated with the VisualAudit product
that is distributed by Viasoft on behalf of TekInsight increased by $57,988 for
the year ended June 30, 1999, or a 13% increase over the year ended June 30,
1998, and revenue associated with professional services provided to various
clients increased by $570,900 for the year ended June 30, 1999, or a 235%
increase over the year ended June 30, 1998.
Total cost of goods sold for the year ended June 30, 1999 was $700,254,
representing costs of approximately 46% of revenues for the period, while total
cost of goods sold for the year ended June 30, 1998 was $248,261 or
approximately 25% of revenue. This 21% unfavorable variance as a percent of
revenue is in part the result of increased utilization of outside consultants in
completing time sensitive, single occurrence professional services projects.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended June
30, 1999 increased to $3,387,874 from $2,259,349 for the year ended June 30,
1998. Contributing to the unfavorable variance is $1,250,000 in advertising and
marketing expenses associated with services provided by various Internet
organizations that TekInsight has determined to be beneficial to market its
products and services.
Net interest income increased for the year ended June 30, 1999 to
$590,092 from $452,016 for the year ended June 30, 1998. This increase is
primarily due to quarterly interest from a promissory note made by Gainor
Medical Management LLC which was paid in April 1999.
Net income decreased to $1,013,412 for the year ended June 30, 1999
from $1,865,288 for the year ended June 30, 1998. This decrease is primarily due
to the gain from the sale of the discontinued operations which occurred in the
1998 fiscal year.
-65-
<PAGE>
The sale of marketable securities resulted in a gain of $1,689,664 in
revenue for the year ended June 30, 1999, a 100% increase over the year ended
June 30, 1998.
Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 1998 Compared to Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 1997
Revenues for the year ended June 30, 1998 were $997,433, an increase of
$542,662, or 219%, from the year ended June 30, 1997. Several factors
contributed to this increase. Revenue associated with sales of proprietary
software products increased by $574,200 for the year ended June 30, 1998, or a
100% increase over the year ended June 30, 1997, and revenue associated with
professional services provided to various clients decreased by $32,498 for the
year ended June 30, 1998, or a 7% decrease over the year ended June 30, 1997.
Total cost of goods sold for the year ended June 30, 1998 were
$248,261, representing costs of approximately 25% of revenues for the period,
while total cost of goods sold for the year ended June 30, 1997 were $73,188 or
approximately 16% of revenue. This 9% unfavorable variance as a percent of
revenue is in part the result of increased utilization of outside consultants in
completing time sensitive, single occurrence professional services projects.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended June 3,
1998 increased to $2,354,489 from $992,372 for the year ended June 30, 1997.
Contributing to TekInsight's unfavorable variance is the realization of a full
year of expenses for the year ended June 30, 1998 as compared to only three
months of operations for the year ended June 30, 1997. Salaries, wages and
fringes increased by $612,398, rent and storage increased by $100,000,
professional and consulting services increased by $78,946, contract manpower
increased by $76,181 and research and development expenses increased by $66,424.
Net interest income increased for the year ended June 30, 1998 to
$452,016 from $2,673 for the year ended June 30, 1997. This increase is
primarily due to quarterly interest from the Note.
Net income increased to $1,856,288 for the year ended June 30, 1998
from a loss of $2,242,453 for the year ended June 30, 1997. This increase is
primarily due to the gain from the sale of the discontinued operations which
occurred in the 1998 fiscal year.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2000, TekInsight had working capital of $4,375,007,
compared to working capital of $5,365,143 at June 30, 1999. This decrease in
working capital during the 2000 nine month period is primarily due to losses in
operations during the 2000 nine month period of $1,048,623.
TekInsight currently receives on average $19,348 a month in interest
from its various money market and certificate of deposit accounts.
On September 24, 1998, TekInsight completed a stock purchase agreement
with ViewCast.com Inc. (VCST.) VCST purchased $2,000,000 worth of restricted
TekInsight common stock valued at $2,000,000 for $2,000,000 worth of VCST common
stock. TekInsight issued 1,240,310 shares of its common stock at the sale price
of $1.6125 per share and received 1,000,000 shares of VCST's common stock for
the purchase price of $2.00 per share. In the case of each corporation, the
number of shares issued was less than 20% of the outstanding common stock of the
issuer on September 24, 1998. On November 16, 1999, TekInsight sold
approximately 43,334 shares of VCST in the open market for $4.15625 per share.
TekInsight realized a net gain of $93,439 in this sale. TekInsight currently has
500,000 shares of VCST's common stock remaining in investments--marketable
securities as of March 31, 2000.

On June 30, 1999, TekInsight Services entered into an agreement with
Business Talk, under which an aggregate payment of $250,000 was made in July and
August 1999, whereby TekInsight Services obtained an assignable credit for the
purchase of advertising time on radio programs operated by Business Talk having
a value of $1,200,000, and 564,056 shares of Series C preferred stock, par value
$.0001 per share, convertible into 5% of the current outstanding capital stock
of Business Talk. Each share of Class C preferred stock had a liquidation
preference of $.4432 until January 1, 2000, at which time the Class C preferred
stock preference become $.2217. As part of the transaction, TekInsight Services
obtained an option to acquire an equivalent number of shares of Business Talk
capital stock for an exercise price of $250,000, as well as the right to
"stream" the content of Business Talk programming on its and its affiliates Web
sites during the course of a three-year period without an additional payment to
Business Talk. Business Talk creates and distributes the content of its
business-oriented radio programming for broadcasting on third party operated
radio stations in a variety of markets throughout the United States. On January
3, 2000, TekInsight Services exercised its option and, for a payment of
$250,000, acquired an additional 564,056 shares of Business Talk Series C
preferred stock for $.4432 per share. TekInsight has been informed that due to a
pending recapitalization of Business Talk stock, the number of Business Talk's
shares held by TekInsight will increase.
The aforementioned marketable securities have been classified as
available for sale securities at March 31, 2000 and accordingly, the unrealized
gain resulting from valuing such securities at market value is reflected as a
component of stockholders' equity.
TekInsight provided Azurel, Ltd., a cosmetic manufacturing and
marketing company, with $1,528,167 in loan financing under a credit agreement
through the issuance of one secured credit note bearing interest at 8% due in
May 2001, and $500,000 through the issuance of a note bearing interest at 20.8%
due in August 1999. The $500,000 note was later amended on August 12, 1999 to
(i) extend the due date to June 2000, (ii) reduce the interest rate to 10%, and
(iii) increase the principal of the note from $500,000 to $550,000 for accrued
interest of $26,580 and a premium of $23,420 for lowering the interest rate. In
addition, TekInsight received warrants to acquire 500,000 shares of common stock
of such company at an exercise price of $1.50 per share. Repayment of amounts
outstanding under the credit agreement was secured by a pledge of approximately
66.66% of the outstanding shares of Azurel operating subsidiaries under the
terms of a pledge security agreement, but which pledge has since been released
following a sale of those subsidiaries by Azurel and the restructuring of the
security arrangement with a pledge to TekInsight Services of part of the
purchase price therefor (a $1,800,000 subordinated note, due in May 2002 as to
principal and accrued interest, made jointly by the acquired subsidiaries in
favor of Azurel). In consideration for its pledge release, the exercise price on
warrants to acquire 500,000 shares of Azurel common stock held by TekInsight and
TekInsight Services was lowered to $.60 per share (the then current market price
of Azurel common stock) from $1.50 per share. On November 25, 1999, TekInsight
provided an additional $200,000 to Azurel, Ltd. to secure computer equipment for
increased capacity for its operation by entering into a sale and lease-back
transaction with respect to this equipment. The lease terminates in November
2001. Azurel is behind in its interest and principal payments and its lease
payments, and although Azurel has been notified of its defaults, acceleration of
the note and lease payments has not been declared.
On April 20, 2000, TekInsight filed an action against Style and its
lender, First Source Financial LLP, in the United States Bankruptcy Court,
Southern District of New York, to establish a constructive trust in its favor
with respect to, and to request that the court order Style and First Source to
deliver to TekInsight, the $1,000,000 purchase price paid for 10,000 shares of
Style Series G Preferred Stock and shares of TekInsight common stock having a
$1,000,000 market value delivered to Style in exchange for an equal market value
of Style common stock under an agreement dated June 30, 1999.
One of TekInsight's discontinued wholly-owned subsidiaries underwent an
audit by the California State Controller's Office, Division of Audits, for the
purpose of determining compliance with guidelines of the California Department
of Health Services and the California State Board of Equalization. The
Controller's Office issued a report to the effect that the subsidiary owed, and
issued a Letter of Demand for, $1.3 million, contending that for the period July
1, 1990 to June 30, 1993, the subsidiary practiced unfair pricing to its
customers. Additionally, accrued interest on the amount demanded is also sought
-67-
<PAGE>
by the Controller's Office. On January 20, 1999, the Superior Court recommended
that the overpayment determination be upheld. In March 1999, the Company's
wholly-owned subsidiary filed an appeal to the Superior Court's decisions with
the California Court of Appeals. On January 26, 2000, TekInsight lost its appeal
with the California Court of Appeals. TekInsight has provided a reserve for the
principal amount of $1,339,785 and $365,434 in accrued interest, or $1,705, 219.
TekInsight's appeal of this finding was denied. A demand for payment has not yet
been made by the Controller's Office.
Cash proceeds from the sale of TekInsight's operating assets and the
stock of its two former principal operating subsidiaries, Diabetes Self Care,
Inc. and USCI Healthcare Management Solutions, Inc., to Gainor Medical
Management, LLC, a privately held Georgia company, along with the proceeds from
the $9,300,000 prepayment in April 1999 of the Note, has been partially used in
operations and for the investment in and loans to the strategic partners
described above. In connection with these agreements, as part of TekInsight's
provision of professional services to strategic partners, TekInsight's has
either made loans to or equity investments in these strategic partners. The
resulting financial transactions have reduced TekInsight's cash reserves and
reduced TekInsight's monthly interest received on those reserves.
TekInsight's material ongoing fixed expenses are as follows: (1)
monthly rent expense net of sublease of approximately $17,600, (2) $7,633 a
month to Mr. Buchholz's under his employment termination agreement, an aggregate
of $230,904 remaining as of March 31, 2000, and (3) approximately $35,293
monthly for employee salaries and benefits.
Year 2000 Compliance
TekInsight did not experience any material Year 2000 compliance issues.
Net Operating Loss Carry Forward
During the year ended June 30, 1999, TekInsight utilized approximately
$3,100,000 of available net operating loss carryforwards. AstraTek has
approximately $1,200,000 of net operating loss carryforwards subject to
limitations on annual utilization because there was "equity structure shifts" or
"owner shifts" involving 5% shareholders (as these terms are defined in Section
382 of the Internal Revenue Code), which have resulted in a more than 50% change
in ownership.

services, Core Strategies shall receive (i) a consulting fee of $12,000 a month
and (ii) an option to purchase 100,000 shares of TekInsight at an exercise price
of $3.00 per share. This option vests in allocations of 25,000 shares each when
the five-day average closing price for one share of TekInsight common stock is
$3.00, $5.00, $6.00 and $8.00, respectively. Core Strategies shall also receive
a monthly communications fee equal to 2% percent of its consulting fees for
expenses incurred for telephone calls, postage, delivery and similar charges.
Compensation of Directors
Each director of TekInsight receives a $25,000 annual directors' fee
for attendance at board meetings, as well as reimbursement for the actual
expenses incurred in attending such meetings. Officers and key employees of
TekInsight receive employment benefits (e.g., health insurance, automobile
allowances) other than cash compensation and interests in TekInsight's employee
stock option plan.
In November 1997, TekInsight established the 1997 stock option plan for
non-employee directors, which authorizes the issuance of up to 300,000 options
to purchase common stock at an exercise price of 100% of the common stock's
market price. Subsequent to its adoption at the annual meeting in February 1998,
30,000 five- year options were granted under this plan to directors at an
exercise price of $1.81 per share.

Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions
On November 25, 1998, TekInsight advanced $70,000 to Brian Bookmeier,
TekInsight's President, in exchange for a note receivable which bore interest at
the rate of 10% per annum. This note was paid in full during the fiscal year
ended June 30, 1999.
In September 1998, TekInsight acquired and retained for investment
purposes approximately 9.2% of the common stock of ViewCast.com. In May 1999, as
amended as of June 1999, TekInsight Services entered into a Web design and
consulting agreement with Azurel. In June 1999, TekInsight Services entered into
both a Web design and consulting agreement and a online hosting agreement with
Style. Mr. Testaverde, who is a director of TekInsight, is also a director and
officer of Network One Financial, Inc., which has acted over the last year and
currently acts as a market maker for the common stock of TekInsight, ViewCast,
Azurel and Style.
On November 22, 1999, TekInsight loaned Seven Sons, Inc., a golf and
tennis equipment store, of which Brian Bookmeier, a director of TekInsight, is a

INFORMATION ABOUT DATA SYSTEMS
General
Data Systems was incorporated in Michigan in 1986. Data Systems and its
subsidiaries provide computer network services and products that allow companies
to control their complex distributed computing environments, allowing companies
to capitalize on their investments in technology and people. Data Systems
provides a wide range of services including applications development, network
services, enterprise management, help desk and security services. Data Systems
also provides a wide range of network integration services including
installation, consultation, technical support and training to governmental and
corporate accounts.
Recent Developments
On February 1, 1999, Data Systems announced a definitive merger
agreement with Alydaar Software Corporation, now known as Information Architechs
Corp. of Charlotte, North Carolina. Under the terms of the agreement Alydaar was
to exchange 1.6 million shares of its common stock for all outstanding shares of
Data Systems stock. On September 15, 1999, Data Systems and Information
Architects mutually agreed to terminate their Agreement and Plan of Merger dated
January 31, 1999. Information Architects gave a promissory note to Data Systems
in the amount of $250,000 as reimbursement for expenses incurred as a result of
the terminated merger.
On February 17, 1999, Data Systems announced that it had entered into a
stipulation of settlement of the consolidated complaint in a shareholder class
action lawsuit captioned, In Re: Data Systems Securities Litigation (Case No.
98-70854, Michigan Federal District Court) The complaints alleged violations of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 resulting from alleged non-disclosures and
misrepresentations of information concerning Data Systems' financial results and
future prospects due to accounting irregularities. On May 24, 1999, the court
determined the settlement to be fair. Under the terms of the settlement and
subject to various conditions, Data Systems created a gross settlement fund for
the benefit of purchasers who bought Data Systems stock during the period from
May 16, 1996 through February 24, 1998. The fund was comprised of $900,000
provided by Data Systems' insurer, and 650,000 shares of Data Systems common
stock which were issued June 22, 1999. In agreeing to the settlement, Data
Systems and individual defendants made no admission of any wrongdoing.
On February 18, 2000, as amended April 4, 2000 and June 28, 2000 Data
Systems and TekInsight entered into an agreement and plan of merger pursuant to
which Data Systems will be merged with and into TekInsight Services.
Products and Services
Data Systems provides computer network services and products that allow
companies to control their complex distributed computing environments. Such
services include the design, sale and service of LANs and WANs. Data Systems
generates revenues by providing consulting and network installation services,
selling add-on hardware components to existing clients and providing
after-installation service and support, training services and network management
services. Data Systems is an authorized dealer, reseller or integrator for the
products of many major vendors including Compaq, Sun Microsystems, Dell, Nortel
Networks, Hewlett-Packard, Novell, Microsoft, Cisco, Meridian Data, 3COM, Intel,
and Oracle. Data Systems has developed applications for remote network
management and can sell private label computer systems, primarily to state
governments. In addition, Data Systems provides application development services
in database management.
Resellers who meet specified qualifications receive customer referrals
and recommendations and advanced technical assistance and support from
-74-
<PAGE>
manufacturers, giving the qualifying resellers a competitive advantage over
other resellers in the market. These qualifications vary from manufacturer to
manufacturer and typically include some or all of the following components:
specific training for technical personnel, specific training for sales
personnel, possession of some advanced equipment, ongoing training requirements,
and minimum purchase targets. The process of obtaining and maintaining these
manufacturer authorizations is time-consuming and has cost associated with
obtaining and maintaining a single authorization. These costs include, but are
not limited to, acquisition of hardware, software, facilities and spare parts,
training fees, personnel and travel expenses and fees paid to the manufacturer
for certification.
Data Systems generally sells equipment in conjunction with its higher
margin network engineering services. These services include design, consulting,
installation, and network administration for both LANs and WANs. Data Systems
provides turnkey implementation and support services and, for some customers,
on-site support personnel who work in conjunction with the customer's personnel
on a continuous basis.
Data Systems also provides on-going technical and maintenance support
through a variety of service programs tailored to fit each specific customer's
service needs and budget. These programs include a two-hour response service for
critical network components, help desk, Computer Associates, Unicenter and
dispatch services. Data Systems generally passes through warranties provided by
manufacturers to the purchaser. Data Systems offers no warranty separate from
manufacturers' warranties.
Marketing and Customers
Data Systems markets its products and services through its internal
sales force in the following states: Florida, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan
and New York. Data Systems has no retail sales outlets and has no intention of
entering the retail market.
Data Systems directs its marketing efforts at state and local
governments, Fortune 1000, middle market corporations and institutional users,
such as hospitals and universities. Current marketing efforts are generally
focused on customers located in the states in which Data Systems has offices.
The State of Michigan accounted for 4% of Data Systems' revenue in 1999
and 29% of Data Systems revenue in each of 1998 and 1997. Purchases by agencies
of the State of Michigan were made pursuant to a blanket agreement, which
expired in September 1998. Data Systems continues to provide network services
and maintenance services to the State of Michigan through a third-party master
contractor blanket purchase order. As with all of Data Systems' service
contracts and purchase orders, there are no assurances that any contract can be
extended further or that, if re-bid, Data Systems will be awarded a new
agreement under the same terms and conditions.
The State of New York accounted for 25% of Data Systems revenue in 1999
and 12% of Data Systems' revenue in 1998. Data Systems was awarded a three-year
contract, renewable in one-year increments, to provide system peripheral
equipment. The first year expired May 1999. The contract was renewed and the
second year expires May 2000. Data Systems is also an authorized reseller of
Novell, Nortel Systems and Cisco products and software to the State of New York.
Vendors
Data Systems purchases the microcomputers and related products it sells
directly from manufacturers and indirectly through distributors such as Merisel,
Tech Data and Ingram Micro Corporation. In general, Data Systems must be
authorized by a manufacturer in order to sell its products, whether the products
are purchased from distributors or directly from manufacturers. Data Systems is
an authorized reseller for microcomputers, workstations, and related products of
over 50 manufacturers. Sales by Data Systems of products manufactured by Compaq,
Hewlett-Packard, Cisco, Novell, Sun Microsystems, Nortel Networks, Dell, and IBM
accounted for between 35% an 40% of revenues during each of the last three
-75-
<PAGE>
fiscal years. However, sales of commodity products, such as IBM and Dell, have
substantially declined over this period. Typically, vendor agreements provide
that Data Systems has been appointed, on a non-exclusive basis, as an authorized
reseller of specified products at specified locations. The agreements generally
are terminable on 30 to 90 days' notice or immediately upon the occurrence of
specified events, and are subject to periodic renewal. The loss of a major
manufacturer or the deterioration of Data Systems' relationship with a major
manufacturer could have a material adverse effect on Data Systems' business as
some product offerings that are requested by customers would not be available to
Data Systems.
Data Systems determines whether to purchase products from distributors
or directly from manufacturers by surveying prices and product availability
among the manufacturers and the distributors with whom it has contractual
relationships. Distributors, which purchase products in large quantities, often
are able to offer a better price on products due to volume discounts granted by
manufacturers. Data Systems' agreement with Ingram Micro, through which it made
17.6% of its product purchases in 1999, provides competitive pricing, inventory
and asset management terms and conditions. The loss of Data Systems
relationships with distributors could result in higher product prices to Data
Systems and potentially reduce Data Systems' profit margins. Data Systems
believes, however, that the loss of its relationship with any particular
distributor would not have a material adverse effect on Data Systems' results of
operations or financial condition due to the availability of other sources of
supply.
Competition
The network integration market is highly competitive. Data Systems
competes with different classes of competitors, depending on the type of
business opportunity. For project-oriented sales, Data Systems competes with
system integrators and with computer hardware manufacturers. Data Systems also
competes with a wide variety of local, regional and national hardware resellers
for add-on equipment sales. Because Data Systems is not as price-aggressive as
some of these competitors, Data Systems relies on its sales force to provide
superior servicing and post-sale technical support to maintain its customer
relationships. Depending on the customer, Data Systems competes on the basis of
technological capability, price, breadth of product offerings and quality of
service. Competitors also vary project-to-project depending upon the geographic
location of the work to be performed.
Many competitors are larger than Data Systems and have significantly
greater financial, marketing and human resources, and geographic coverage. Data
Systems believes that it can compete against these competitors on the basis of
its extensive experience in the network integration and management market,
authorization to sell a broad range of products and experienced technical staff.
Employees
As of March 31, 2000, Data Systems employed 176 employees, 41 were
sales personnel, 117 were service personnel and 18 were administrative or
management personnel. Data Systems' employees have no union affiliations. Data
Systems believes its relationship with its employees is good.
Properties
Data Systems' corporate headquarters is located in Farmington Hills,
Michigan, in a leased facility consisting of approximately12,555 square feet of
office space rented under a lease expiring in November 2002. Data Systems also
leases a technical facility located in Farmington Hills, Michigan with
approximately 7,000 square feet rented under a lease expiring in March 2003.
Data Systems also has a telephone "help desk" center located in Baton Rouge,
Louisiana, which is part of its State of Louisiana maintenance contract, and is
located in a facility with 8,200 square feet rented under a lease that expired
in November 1999, and is currently leased on a month-to-month basis.
Data Systems also leases direct sales offices totaling approximately
25,000 square feet under leases with terms of one to five years, in 10 locations
-76-
<PAGE>
in the United States. Data Systems believes that its existing facilities and
offices and additional space available to it are adequate to meet its
requirements for its present and reasonably foreseeable needs.
Legal Proceedings
Data Systems filed suit on December 9, 1999 against Unified Network
Services, Inc. (UNS) in the State of Michigan, Oakland County Circuit Court
(Case No. 99-019541-CK.) Effective June 1, 1998, Data Systems sold its interest
in the UNS subsidiary for $7,000 in cash and a note for $3,000,000, secured by
the stock of UNS. The note called for interest only payments to commence July 1,
1998 for a period of twelve months followed by monthly payments of $50,000 plus
interest on the unpaid balance until the note is fully repaid at June 1, 2004.
Interest was to accrue on the unpaid balance at a per annum rate equal to the
Bank One, Michigan prime rate. The suit alleges UNS breached its agreement with
Data Systems by failing and refusing to make payments due on the note. The case
was removed to U.S. District Court Eastern District of Michigan on April 13,
2000 (Case No. 00-71592.)
On June 16, 1998, Data Systems filed suit in Oakland County Circuit
Court (Case No. 98-006905-CZ), Michigan, against Softech, Inc. alleging that
Softech wrongfully retained monies due Data Systems in accordance with an asset
purchase agreement dated September 12, 1996. In addition, Data Systems stated
that Softech owed Data Systems rent under a sublease agreement, and had not paid
invoices for work completed by Data Systems. It also stated that software
acquired by Data Systems in the acquisition of the Network Systems Group did not
perform properly. The complaint alleged fraud, breach of contract, conversion
and unjust enrichment.
On November 3, 1998, Softech, Inc. filed a demand for arbitration
against Data Systems. Data Systems' claim was dismissed in February 1999 without
prejudice due to the arbitration provision in the asset purchase agreement.
Softech alleged that Data Systems had breached the September 12, 1996 asset
purchase agreement by failure to register shares of stock on a timely basis,
failure to pay monies owed for inventory purchases and receivables, equipment
and commissions paid by Softech on behalf of Data Systems, funds owed to
employees, advances to former employees of Softech who became employees of Data
Systems and rents. Data Systems filed a counterclaim with respect to the Data
allegations in connection with the arbitration. The arbitration hearing is
scheduled for June 2000 and Data Systems intends to pursue its counterclaim and
vigorously defend itself against Softech's claims.
Other than the above, Data Systems is not party to any other legal
proceedings other than routine litigation that is incidental to its business,
none of which is material.
In February 1998 Data Systems disclosed a possible overstatement of
earnings in prior periods that it believed may have been due to inadequate
internal controls following several acquisitions and rapid internal growth. Data
Systems appointed a special committee to investigate the problem and has since
restated its financial statements, made personnel changes, and instituted
accounting systems and controls that it believes are adequate to handle the
increased accounting burden. The SEC informed Data Systems that it was
conducting an investigation into the matter. Data Systems has been cooperating
with the investigation. In July 2000, the SEC staff advised Data Systems that it
is considering a recommendation that the SEC bring a civil injunctive action
against Data Systems and certain officers on the basis of violations of the
federal securities laws with respect to Data Systems' accounting records and
reports and events which occurred in 1996 and 1997. However, the staff has
provided Data Systems with the opportunity to submit its position on the matter
before the staff recommendation is finalized. Data Systems strongly disagrees
with the views of the staff and intends to furnish a full statement of its
position to the SEC.
Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
None.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2000 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 1999
Revenues
Data Systems' total revenues decreased 6.9% to $13.3 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2000 from $14.3 million for the same period in
1999. The decrease was attributable to non-recurring product sales, completion
of a systems application project and the August 1999 termination of Data
Systems' unprofitable imaging services group.
-78-
<PAGE>
Data Systems' product sales decreased $0.5 million or 6.0% for the
three months ended March 31, 2000 from the same period in 1999. The decrease was
directly related to non-recurring product sales and the termination of Data
Systems' unprofitable imaging services group.
Service revenues decreased 10.4% to $4.7 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2000. The decrease was due to the completion of a systems
application project. Service revenues accounted for 35.6% of total revenues in
the three months ended March 31, 2000 compared to 36.8% of total revenues in the
corresponding period of 1999. The decrease is related to the reduction in
service sales.
Cost of Revenues
The cost of revenues increased to 84.9% of total revenues for the three
months ended March 31, 2000, from 77.4% during the corresponding period of 1999.
The cost of product sales increased to 83.7% of product sale revenue for the
three months ended March 31, 2000 compared to 74.6% for the same period in 1999.
Data Systems attributes the increase to its ability in 1999 to pass through
equipment sales with certain key vendors. Data Systems did not have this ability
in the three months ended March 31, 2000. In 1999, this allowed Data Systems to
recognize commission revenue on those product sales without the associated cost
of the product.
The cost of service revenue increased to 87.0% of service revenues for
the three months ended March 31, 2000, from 82.2% for the same period in 1999.
Data Systems attributes the increase to expenses that were carried in
anticipation of new system application projects in Florida and expenses incurred
in Michigan due to the Company's focus on developing strategic service
offerings.
Operating Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expense decreased to 19.2% of total
revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2000 compared to 20.6% of total
revenue for the same period in 1999. The decrease was related to Data Systems'
continued effort to control overhead costs. Sales expense declined by $0.2
million or 10.6% when compared to the first quarter 1999 due primarily to a
reduction in the commission plan. General and administrative expenses declined
by $0.2 million or 18.6% when compared to the first quarter 1999 due primarily
to reduction in headcount as a result of attrition.
Other Income (Expenses)
Interest expense for the three months ending March 31, 2000 increased
24.0% when compared to the same period in 1999. The increase reflects an
increase in the interest rate on Data Systems' borrowings as a result of the
increase in the prime rate.
Year Ended December 31, 1999 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 1998
Revenues
Data Systems' total revenues declined to $52.8 million in 1999,
compared to $85.3 million in 1998. The decline (38.1%) is the cumulative effect
of the termination of a specific product sales contract, non-recurring product
project work and a change in sales strategy to an emphasis on service sales.
Data Systems' product sales component of the business declined to $32.4
million in 1999 from $63.5 million in 1998 due primarily to the completion and
expiration on September 30, 1998, of Data Systems' master contractor purchase
order with the State of Michigan. Product sales to the State of Michigan were
made under that agreement and accounted for $17.1 million in sales in 1998. The
State of Michigan continues to buy network services and service maintenance
contracts from Data Systems. Non-recurring product project work completed in
1998 for Hooper Homes and the State of Louisiana accounted for $4.7 million and
$3.1 million, respectively, of the decline in product revenues from 1998 to
1999.
-79-
<PAGE>
In prior periods, Data Systems would sell equipment and absorb the full
burden of financing those sales. During 1999, Data Systems worked with key
vendors to pass through hardware sales directly to the customer. This allows the
vendor to absorb the risk and burden of financing the equipment component of the
sale. As a result, Data Systems recognized a commission on the sale without the
risk and cost associated with carrying a receivable for equipment sales. This
change was implemented as part of Data Systems' strategic move towards service
sales with less emphasis on the hardware component of its business. The change
implemented by Data Systems of equipment sales pass through to the vendors
accounted for approximately $10.9 million of the product revenue decline from
1998 to 1999. Data Systems' shift in emphasis to service sales from product
sales is due to the expectation of higher margins generally associated with
sales of technical services.
Service revenues declined 6.4% to $20.4 million in 1999 from $21.8
million in 1998. The decline is due to the loss of the service revenue
associated with the State of Michigan master product purchase order, which
expired September 30, 1998, and the termination of unprofitable imaging
services. Service sales accounted for 38.6% of total revenue in 1999 versus
25.5% in 1998. This percentage increase was due to the overall decline in
product revenue as described above.
Cost of Revenues
The decline in cost of revenues in 1999 is consistent with the
reduction in product sales due to the termination of the State of Michigan
master contractor purchase order, non-recurring product project work and Data
Systems' success with involving key vendors in the financing of large equipment
sales. In addition, Data Systems continues to manage external labor costs,
increase internal technical work force utilization and increase high-end network
service work. Primarily as a result of this activity, cost of revenues decreased
to 81.1% of total revenues in 1999 from 83.5% of total revenues in 1998.
Cost of product revenue decreased as a percentage of total revenues to
50.4% in 1999 from 61.2% in 1998. The decline in product revenue and the ability
to pass through product sales accounts for the reduction in the cost of product
revenue. Product revenue gross margins increased to 18.0% in 1999 versus 17.8%
in 1998.
Cost of service revenue increased to 30.7% of total revenues in 1999
from 22.3% of total revenues in 1998 due to the decrease in overall sales.
However, service revenue gross margins increased to 20.6% in 1999 versus 12.7%
in 1998 due to management by Data Systems of external labor while increasing the
utilization of the internal technical workforce.
Overall, gross profit in 1999 decreased $4.1 million, or 29.0%, from
1998. However, gross margin as a percent of revenue increased in 1999 to 18.9%,
versus 16.5% in 1998. The increase in margin is attributable to Data Systems'
ability to negotiate vendor discounts for product purchases, vendor financing of
large equipment transactions and increases in service margins as described
above.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses increased to 20.4% of total revenues in 1999 from
18.0% of total revenues in 1998. Sales expenses remained constant at 11.6% of
total revenues in 1999 and 1998 respectively. General and administrative expense
increased to 8.8% of total revenues in 1999 from 6.4% of total revenues in 1998.
The increase in operating expense margin is directly related to the decrease in
total revenue. However, overall operating expenses declined 29.8% due to cost
controls and overhead reductions put in place during 1999. Specifically, sales
offices in Chicago, IL, Raleigh, NC, and Lexington, KY were closed and
administrative positions were consolidated through attrition, without
jeopardizing controls or procedures. Included in 1999, are non-recurring
expenses for professional fees and unprofitable operations as a result of Data
Systems operating under the terms of a merger agreement with Information
Architects that was terminated on September 15, 1999. The differential between
1998 and 1999 was impacted by the fact that 1998 included some non-recurring
costs required to complete Data Systems' year-end audits for 1997 and 1996
-80-

reporting, costs associated to Data Systems' shareholder class action lawsuit,
and bank audit and examination expenses.
Other Income (Expenses)
Other income for 1999 increased $3,397,373 to $978,252 and was
primarily attributable to the settlement of Data Systems' shareholder class
action lawsuit. Data Systems established an accrual in 1998 of approximately
$1.8 million for the estimated fair market value of the shares of Data Systems
common stock that were to be contributed into the gross settlement fund for the
suit. At the time of settlement (June 22, 1999), Data Systems recognized as
income approximately $1.1 million of the accrual because the actual fair market
value of the common stock issued was $630,500. The remaining change was due to
Data Systems' reversal of some accrued costs offset by a loss on sale of
non-revenue producing assets. The disposal of the assets was related to the
closure of three sales offices.
Interest expense decreased $.2 million due primarily to Data Systems'
success at negotiating more advantageous payment terms with its key vendors and
overall reductions in Data Systems' bank borrowings.
Year Ended December 31, 1998 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 1997
Data Systems' total revenues declined slightly to $85.3 million in
1998, compared to $86.0 million in 1997. The decline (0.8%) was due to the net
effect of the termination of a specific product sales contract offset by Data
Systems' organic growth in service sales and in the eastern region of the United
States.
Data Systems' product sales component of the business declined to $63.5
million in 1998 from $67.8 million in 1997 was due primarily to the completion
and expiration on September 30, 1998, of Data Systems master contractor purchase
order with the State of Michigan. Product sales to the State were made under
that agreement. The State continues to buy network services and service
maintenance contracts from Data Systems. Of the $4.3 million decline in product
sales, approximately $3.8 was attributed to the completion of the State of
Michigan agreement. The remainder of the decline in product sales was due to
management's continued focus on new account penetration through the offering of
advanced services, including network management services. Data Systems' shift in
emphasis to service sales from product sales was due to the expectation of high
margins generally associated with sales of technical services.
Service revenues increased 20.4% to $21.8 million in 1998 from $18.1
million in 1997. Service sales accounted for 25.5% of total revenue in 1998
versus 21.1% in 1997. This increase was primarily due to the allocation of
additional resources to further develop Data Systems' capabilities to deliver
advanced services.
Cost of Revenues
The decline in cost of revenues in 1998 was consistent with the
reduction in product sales due to the termination of the Sate of Michigan master
contractor purchase order and the shift to service revenue. Management had
refocused Data Systems' business in conjunction with these changes by shifting
resources away from the lower margin direct product component of revenue, in
favor of the higher returns generated from advanced service and network
management offerings. Primarily as a result of this activity, cost of revenues
decreased to 83.5% of total revenues in 1998 from 85.5% of total revenues in
1997.
Cost of product revenue decreased as a percentage of total revenues to
61.2% in 1998 from 68.9% in 1997. Certain software purchases in support of
maintenance contracts were reclassified as cost of services versus cost of
products. This change, along with the decline in product revenue, accounts for
the reduction in the cost of product revenue. Product revenue gross margins
increased to 17.8% in 1998 versus 12.7% in 1997. Data Systems had been more
selective in pricing large projects and believes that the increase in product
gross margin is reflective of the strategic shift away from low margin sales.
-81-
<PAGE>
Cost of service revenue increased to 22.3% of total revenues in 1998
from 16.6% of total revenues in 1997 due to the significant increase in total
service revenues and reclassification of software costs that are more closely
related to service revenue. Additionally, due to Data Systems decision to move
towards a higher mix of service sales, Data Systems increased its technical
personnel to assist the sales effort with specialized internal resources. By
providing in-house technical resources to support revenue growth, Data Systems
increased expenditures in third party consultants and technicians to support
existing contracts.
Overall, gross profit increased $1.6 million or 12.9% over 1997. Gross
margin in 1998 was 16.5% versus 14.5% in 1997. To maintain its strategic
direction, emphasizing a shift towards higher margin service sales, Data Systems
did invest resources in technical personnel, hardware, software and processes.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses decreased to 18.0% of total revenues in 1998 from
18.8% of total revenues in 1997. Sales expenses decreased to 11.6% of total
revenues in 1998 versus 12.0% of total revenues in 1997. General and
administrative expense decreased to 6.4% of total revenues in 1998 from 6.8% of
total revenues in 1997. Overall, operating expenses declined due to cost
controls and overhead reductions put in place during 1998. Specifically, sales
offices in Atlanta, GA, Charlotte, NC, Greensboro, NC, Pittsburgh, PA and
Dallas, TX were closed or consolidated into other more strategically located
offices. Administrative and other overhead reductions were completely offset by
the additional expenditures necessary to address legal and auditing issues. The
non-recurring legal, auditing, and professional fees exceeded just over $1.0
million during 1998. These expenses related to the extraordinary efforts
required to complete Data Systems' year-end 1997 and 1996 reporting, the class
action lawsuits, and bank audit and examination expenses. All totaled, these
matters account for 1.2% of total revenue.
Other Income (Expenses)
The increase in other expense in 1998 was due primarily to the
recognition of $1.8 million of liability associated with the proposed
stipulation of settlement of Data Systems' shareholder class action lawsuit.
Data Systems established an accrual for the estimated fair market value of the
shares of Data Systems' common stock that will be contributed into the gross
settlement fund. Other expenses, net of the shareholder lawsuit accrual,
declined to $.6 million from $.8 million in 1997. The decrease was due to a $.8
million decrease in interest expense due primarily to Data Systems' success at
negotiating more advantageous payment terms with its key vendors and overall
reductions in Data Systems' bank borrowings.
Discontinued Operations
Pursuant to the terms of the original 1996 purchase agreement by which
Data Systems acquired Unified Network Services Inc., the minority shareholders
of UNS elected to exercise a contract right to initiate re-purchase of the
stock of UNS owned by Data Systems. The board of directors of Data Systems
accepted the proposal and adopted a plan to discontinue operations. Effective
June 1, 1998, Data Systems sold its 70% interest in the UNS subsidiary for cash
and notes and discontinued operations in its large account network management
business. The terms of the sale included $7,000 in cash and a note for
$3,000,000, secured by the stock of UNS. The buyers also assumed the existing
liabilities of UNS. The gain upon disposal of the discontinued segment was
$705,742 which is net of an allowance of $3,000,000 due to the uncertainty of
the buyers ability to pay the note. Data Systems deferred the recognition of a
gain on sale related to the note until payments on the note began. The gain is
also net of additional allowances of $614,000 and $375,000, due to the
uncertainty of the buyer's ability to reimburse Data Systems for working capital
and payment of assumed liabilities.
Data Systems has restated its prior financial statements to present the
operating results of the UNS segment as a discontinued operation.
-82-
<PAGE>
On December 9, 1999, Data Systems filed suit against Unified Network
Services, Inc (UNS) in the State of Michigan, Oakland County Circuit Court. The
suit alleges UNS breached its agreement with Data Systems by failing and
refusing to make payments due on the note.
Financial Condition
As of March 31, 2000, cash totaled $1.3 million, a decrease of $0.2
million from December 31, 1999, Cash provided by operating activities during the
first quarter 2000 was $1.0 million, primarily due to an increase in accounts
payable of $1.0 million, partially offset by a loss of $0.6 million during the
period. Net cash used in financing activities was attributable to a net
repayment of Data Systems' bank line of credit of $1.1 million. Data Systems, in
accordance with its bank financing agreement, applies all available cash to its
outstanding line of credit balance. Daily working capital requirements are
managed through daily borrowings.
As of December 31, 1999, cash and investments totaled $1.5 million, a
decrease of $1.1 million from 1998. Cash used in operating activities for 1999
was $3.1 million compared to cash provided by operations of $18.1 million in
1998. The cash used in operating activities was primarily due to a decrease in
accounts payable of $3.3 million, reversal of the shareholder lawsuit accrual by
$1.1 million and recognition of deferred maintenance revenues of $2.3 million.
These uses were partially offset by income of $191,190 generated in 1999 and
depreciation of $1.1 million and collection of accounts receivable of $2.2
million. Data Systems, in accordance with its bank financing agreement, applies
all available cash to its outstanding line of credit balance. During the year,
Data Systems borrowed $2.0 million against the line of credit. In accordance
with Data Systems' credit agreement with Foothill Capital Corporation, all funds
are applied to the outstanding loan balance. Daily working capital requirements
are managed through daily borrowings.
On September 30, 1998 Data Systems and Foothill Capital Corporation
entered into a credit facility. The Foothill agreement provides for an initial
revolving line of credit not to exceed $15 million. Data Systems may, at its
option and subject to collateral requirements, increase the line to $20 million
during the term of the Foothill agreement. Borrowing limits under the Foothill
agreement are determined based on a collateral formula, which includes 85% of
qualified trade receivables. Borrowings under the Foothill agreement bear
interest at 1% over Norwest Bank's prime rate and have a term extending to
September 30, 2001. As of March 31, 2000, the line of credit under the Foothill
Agreement bore interest at 10%. As of March 31, 2000, the line of credit
collateral formula permitted borrowings of up to $4.6 million, of which $4.2
million was outstanding.
The Foothill agreement contains financial covenants related to earnings
before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), net worth and
capital expenditures. There are other covenants that require Data Systems'
receivables to be genuine and free of all other encumbrances and requires Data
Systems' inventory to be kept only at specified locations and to be free of all
other encumbrances. In addition, there are restrictions with respect to dividend
distribution. At March 31, 2000, due primarily to Data Systems' loss from
operations, Data Systems was not in compliance with the EBITDA and net worth
covenants. Data Systems has received waivers of such non compliance from
Foothill and Data Systems' access and use of the line of credit was not
affected. In the event that Data Systems would be unable to borrow amounts
necessary to fund its operations, or if repayment of its obligations under the
current credit agreement were demanded by Foothill, Data Systems' financial
condition would be materially and adversely affected. In such event, there can
be no assurance that Data Systems would be able to obtain alternative working
capital financing to continue its operations.
As of December 31, 1999, the line of credit under the Foothill
Agreement bore interest at 9.5%. As of December 31, 1999, the line of credit
collateral formula permitted borrowings of up to $6.2 million, of which $5.2
million was outstanding. At December 31, 1999, Data Systems was in compliance
with all of the financial covenants referenced above.
-83-
<PAGE>
Data Systems' working capital deficiency as of March 31, 2000 was $2.7
million. Data Systems working capital deficiency as of December 31, 1999 was
$2.2 million. Data Systems believes that the combination of present cash
balances, future operating cash flows, and working capital provided by the
Foothill Agreement or alternate working capital financing secured by Data
Systems will be adequate to fund Data Systems' internal growth and current short
and long term cash flow requirements. Included in cash of Data Systems is $1.5
million which is restricted in connection with various maintenance agreements.
Upon completion of its planned merger into TekInsight Services, Data
Systems believes that additional financing resources will be available and
certain synergies relating to business opportunities will arise. However, the
Agreement and Plan of Merger requires Data Systems to conduct business in the
usual and ordinary course but under certain restrictions and limitations until
closing. These restrictions and limitations, in the aggregate, could have a
material effect on Data Systems' ability to quickly respond to changes in its
business.
Year 2000 Compliance Results
The Y2K issue arose as a result of computer programs using a two-digit
format, as opposed to four digits, to indicate the year. The concern was that
computer systems would be unable to interpret dates beyond the year 1999, which
could cause a system failure or other computer errors, leading to disruptions in
operations. In 1997, Data Systems developed a three-phase program for Y2K
information systems compliance. Phase I was to identify those systems with which
Data Systems has exposure to Y2K issues. Phase I was completed in 1998. Phase II
was the development and implementation of action plans to be Y2K compliant in
all areas by mid 1999. Those plans were developed and implemented as scheduled.
Phase III was the final testing of each major area of exposure to ensure
compliance and was completed during the fourth quarter 1999. In implementing its
three-phase program, the Company had identified three major areas determined to
be critical for successful Y2K compliance: (1) financial and informational
system applications, (2) customer relationships and equipment applications and
(3) third-party consultant and vendor relationships.
Data Systems, in accordance with Phase I of the program, conducted an
internal review and inventory of all systems (including information technology
and non-information technology systems), and contacted all critical suppliers to
determine major areas of exposure to Y2K issues. In the financial and
information system area, a number of applications were identified as Y2K
compliant due to their recent implementation. Data Systems' core financial and
reporting systems were completely replaced as of January 1, 1999, which brought
this critical area into Y2K compliance. In the customer relationships and
equipment applications area, Data Systems completed all remediation and testing
efforts. As a result of its Phase I assessment of its non-information technology
systems, Data Systems did not incur significant costs remediating those systems
for Y2K compliance. In the third-party consultant and vendor relationships area,
Data Systems contacted most of those parties and they stated they were to be Y2K
compliant.
Data Systems spent approximately $154,000 in 1998 to replace its core
financial and reporting systems and had spent 1,100 man-hours through December
31, 1999 to bring the systems network, financial and informational applications
into Y2K compliance at an estimated cost of $55,000. Because of Data Systems'
expertise in this area, internal personnel undertook the majority of this work.
Data Systems believes it did not experience any Y2K disruptions due to
the three-phase program it developed and implements.
The foregoing disclosure contains information regarding Y2K readiness
that constitutes a "Year 2000 Readiness Disclosure" as defined in the Year 2000
Readiness Disclosure Act.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk
In the normal course of business, the financial position of Data
Systems is routinely subjected to a variety of risks. In addition to the market
risk associated with interest on outstanding debt, other examples of risk
include collectibility of accounts receivable and recoverability of residual
values of assets placed in service.
Data Systems is subject to an element of market risk due to possible
changes in interest rates. Data Systems regularly assesses these risks and has
established collection policies and business practices to minimize the adverse
effects of these and other potential exposures. Data Systems does not currently
anticipate any material losses in these areas, due primarily to the lack of
significant fluctuation in the prime-lending rate on which Data Systems'
interest expenses are determined. The financial instruments included in the debt
of Data Systems consists of all of Data Systems' cash and cash equivalents, bank
financing, bank credit facilities and lines of credit, vendor credit lines,
leases, and, if applicable, marketable securities, and any short and long-term
investments.
Data Systems assesses the risk of loss due to the impact of changes in
interest rates on market sensitive instruments. Interest rates effecting Data
Systems' debt are market based and will fluctuate as a result. Data Systems
prepares forecasts and cost of funds analysis on significant purchases to
anticipate the effect of market interest rate changes.
Data Systems' earnings are affected by changes in short-term interest
rates as a result of its use of bank (line of credit) financing for working
capital. If market interest rates based on the prime lending rate average 2%
more in 2000 than they did during 1999, Data Systems' interest expense, after
considering the effects of interest income, would increase, and income before
taxes would decrease by approximately $100,000 assuming comparable average
borrowings. Comparatively, if market interest rates based on the prime lending
rate averaged 2% more in 1999 than they did in 1998, Data Systems' interest
expense, after considering the effects of any interest income, would have
increased, and income before taxes would have decreased, by $200,000 assuming
comparable average borrowings. These amounts are determined by considering the
impact of the hypothetical change in the interest rates on Data Systems'
borrowing cost and short-term investment balances, if any. These analyses do not
consider the effects of the reduced level of overall economic activity that
could exist in such an environment. Further, in the event of a change of such
magnitude, management would likely take actions to further mitigate its exposure
to the change. However, due to the uncertainty of the specific actions that
would be taken and their possible effects, the sensitivity analysis assumes no
changes in Data Systems' financial structure.
Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial
Disclosure
On October 15, 1998, Plante & Moran, LLP informed the board of
directors of Data Systems that it would decline to stand for reappointment, if
asked, as auditors for Data Systems. Plante also notified Data Systems at that
time that, as of the date of such notification, the client-auditor relationship
between the parties was terminated. Data Systems placed no limitations on Plante
responding fully to inquiries of the successor accountant. The reports of Plante
on the financial statement of Data Systems for each of the fiscal years ended
December 31, 1997 and 1996 contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion
and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting
principle, except that, as issued, Plante's report dated August 20, 1998
included a modification addressing Data Systems' going concern uncertainty. The
plans of Data Systems concerning these matters are described in the footnotes
attached to the financial statement referenced in that report. In connection
with its audits for the fiscal years December 31, 1997 and 1996, and through
October 15, 1998, (i) there were no disagreements between Data Systems and
Plante on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement
disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements if not resolved
to the satisfaction of Plante would have caused them to make reference thereto
in their report on the financial statement for such fiscal years and (ii) there
were no reportable events as defined in Regulation S-K Item 304(a)(1)(v) except
that Plante advised the Audit Committee of Data Systems' board of directors, by
letter dated May 21, 1998, of items it considered to be material weaknesses in
internal controls in 1997 relating to Data Systems' general accounting practices
-85-
<PAGE>
then in place, including those relating to billing, accounts payable, and
inventory. These items were discussed with the Audit Committee on September 15,
1998. Management has addressed and will continue to address the recommendations
of Plante.

(a) Value was determined by multiplying the number of shares subject to the
option by the difference between the last sale price of the common stock
reported for December 31, 1999 on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board and
the option exercise price.
Director Compensation
Customarily, Data Systems has paid non-employee directors an annual
retainer of $1,000 and a fee of $500 for each board of directors or committee
meeting attended. On the date of each annual shareholders meeting, each
non-employee director elected or reelected as such will also receive an option
under the 1994 stock option plan to purchase 1,000 shares of Data Systems common
stock, exercisable beginning one year after the grant date, at an exercise price
equal to the fair market value on the grant date. Data Systems also reimburses
out-of-pocket expenses related to non-employee directors in attendance at such
meetings.
Data Systems did not hold an annual shareholders meeting in 1999.
During 1999 Data Systems did not pay directors for their services. However, in
order to compensate the board of directors for their services to Data Systems,
it was resolved that the board of directors members would receive shares of Data
Systems' stock in lieu of cash. The compensation is $2,000 per month in value of
Data Systems common stock beginning with the fourth quarter of Quarter 1999.
-88-
<PAGE>
In 1999, Data Systems granted options pursuant to the 1994 stock option
plan for 50,000 shares to a director of Data Systems exercisable at a price of
$.66 per share when the fair market value at the date of the grant was $1.03.
Fifty percent of such options vest on the second anniversary date of the grant,
and the 25% vest each of the next two years.
Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions
A $200,000 promissory note was issued for a portion of the
consideration for some 13% subordinated promissory notes of Data Systems
acquired by Mr. Grieves, Data Systems' Chairman, President and Chief Executive
Officer, pursuant to Data Systems' Plan of Reorganization in 1992. The Grieves
note was renegotiated effective January 1, 2000. Under the renegotiated Grieves

PROPOSAL 2--APPROVAL BY TEKINSIGHT STOCKHOLDERS OF ISSUANCE OF
SHARES PURSUANT TO NASDAQ RULE 4310
Nasdaq Stock Market Rule 4310(25)(G) requires Nasdaq-listed companies
to obtain stockholder approval before issuing 20% or more of their common stock
or securities convertible into common stock in a transaction other than a public
offering. The board of directors of TekInsight, therefore, must obtain your
approval to issue Series A preferred stock which is convertible into 20% or more
of the currently outstanding common stock of TekInsight in connection with the
merger. Under Nasdaq Rule 4310, this proposal must be approved by a majority of
votes cast on this proposal at the special meeting in person or by proxy.
On July 13, 2000 TekInsight had approximately 15.9 million shares of
common stock issued and outstanding. Because the merger consideration will not
be determined until after the special meeting date, we do not currently know the
exact number of Series A preferred stock shares that will be issued in the
merger. However, TekInsight believes it will be equal to more than 20% of our
currently outstanding common stock.
For the reasons discussed in "The Background of the
Merger--TekInsight's Reasons for the Merger," TekInsight's board of directors
unanimously believes that the merger is in the best interests of stockholders of
TekInsight. The merger consideration was negotiated at arms' length and the
board of directors believes it reflects the market value of Data Systems.
Valuemetrics has given its opinion to TekInsight and its board of directors, and
Valuation Counselors has given its opinion to the board of directors of Data
Systems, that the merger consideration is fair from a financial perspective.
Therefore, we believe that any dilution in your percentage of ownership is more
than offset by the benefits of the merger. In the event that this proposal is
not approved, we would consider other alternatives including resoliciting
stockholders and smaller acquisitions to promote corporate growth.
The board of directors of TekInsight unanimously recommends that
stockholders vote "FOR" approval of the proposal pursuant to Nasdaq Rule 4310.

PROPOSAL 3--INCREASE IN AUTHORIZED COMMON STOCK RESERVED FOR ISSUANCE
UNDER TEKINSIGHT'S 1992 STOCK OPTION PLAN
The board of directors of TekInsight adopted the 1992 employee stock
option plan to help TekInsight and its subsidiaries to attract and retain highly
capable employees and selected key consultants, and to encourage them to promote
the growth and profitability of TekInsight and its subsidiaries. 500,000 shares
of common stock were initially reserved for issuance under the plan, all of
which have already been issued in connection with options previously granted by
the TekInsight board of directors.
The purpose of the increase is to cover future option grants to attract
and retain officers, employees and directors. If the number of shares of common
stock available under the 1992 plan is not increased, there will be an
insufficient number of shares to cover such future grants to officers, employees
and directors.
Options granted under the 1992 plan may be either incentive options
within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Service Code of 1986,
non-qualified options, or options not intended to be incentive options. The
amendment does not alter the considerations of the compensation committee with
respect to grants under the 1992 plan.
The following is a summary description of the material features of the
1992 plan.
Under the 1992 plan, TekInsight may grant options to purchase up to an
aggregate of 500,000 shares of common stock, subject to adjustment under
specified circumstances, to employees of TekInsight, or other individuals whose
participation is determined to be in the best interests of TekInsight by the
compensation committee. As of March 31, 1999, options to purchase 500,000 shares
of common stock had been granted under the 1992 plan, at exercise prices ranging
from $.93 to $5.50 per share.
The 1992 plan provides for the grant of options that are intended to
qualify as incentive stock options, or ISOs, under Section 422 of the Internal
Revenue Code to employees of TekInsight, as well as the grant of non-qualifying
options, or NSOs, to officers, directors or key employees of TekInsight or other
individuals whose participation in the 1992 plan is determined to be in the best
interest of TekInsight by the compensation committee.
The 1992 plan is administered by the compensation committee. The
compensation committee selects the optionees and determines the number of shares
of common stock covered by each option and the terms of the option agreement to
be executed by TekInsight and the optionee.
The option exercise price for ISOs granted under the 1992 plan may not
be less than 100% of the fair market value of the common stock on the date of
grant, or 110% in the case of an ISO granted to an optionee beneficially owning
more than 10% of the outstanding common stock. The option exercise price for
NSOs granted under the 1992 plan may not be less than 85% of the fair market
value of the common stock on the date of grant of the option.
The maximum option term is thirty days after the fifth anniversary of
the date of grant. The vesting schedule of options granted under the 1992 plan
shall be determined by the compensation committee and provided in the particular
option agreement issued to an optionee. There is a $100,000 limit on the value
of common stock (determined at the time of grant) covered by ISOs that first
become exercisable by an optionee in any calendar year. No option may be granted
more than ten years after the effective date of the 1992 plan. Subject to the
terms of the optionee's stock option agreement, options may only be transferable
by will or in accordance with the laws of descent and distribution.
Payment for shares purchased under the 1992 plan may be made either in
cash or, if permitted by the particular option agreement, by exchanging shares
of common stock of TekInsight with a fair market value equal to the total option
exercise price, plus cash for any difference.
-95-
<PAGE>
If an employee's employment with TekInsight terminates by reason of
retirement, the employee's options, to the extent exercisable, may be exercised
within three months after such termination of employment, but not later than the
date the option would otherwise expire. If an employee's employment with
TekInsight terminates by reason of death or disability, the employee's options,
to the extent exercisable, shall terminate on the first anniversary of the
optionee's date of termination, but not later than the date the option would
otherwise expire. If the employee's employment terminates for any reason other
than retirement or death or disability, options held by such optionee terminate
on the date of such termination.
The board of directors may terminate the 1992 plan at any time. Unless
previously terminated, the 1992 plan will terminate automatically in June 2002,
the tenth anniversary of the date of adoption of the 1992 plan by the board of
directors.
Approval of the 1992 plan amendment proposal will require the
affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the shares of common stock present
in person or represented by proxy at the special meeting.
The board of directors of TekInsight unanimously recommends that the
stockholders of TekInsight vote "FOR" the 1992 plan amendment proposal.

TekInsight.Com, Inc. and Subsidiaries
(formerly Tadeo Holdings, Inc.)
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited with respect to the nine-months
ended March 31, 2000 and March 31, 1999)
TekInsight.Com, Inc. incorporated in Delaware on May 27, 1989 as
Universal Self Care, Inc. and changed its name to Tadeo Holdings, Inc. on
February 2, 1998. Tadeo changed its name to TekInsight.Com, Inc. in November
1999. Prior to TekInsight's acquisition of AstraTek and the creation of
TekInsight Services, Inc. (formerly Tadeo-E Commerce Corp.), TekInsight supplied
and distributed both prescription and non-prescription medications and durable
medical equipment and supplies principally to persons suffering from diabetes.
On October 27, 1998, TekInsight acquired AstraTek, Inc., a New York corporation,
pursuant to a merger of a wholly-owned subsidiary of TekInsight into AstraTek,
with AstraTek being the surviving corporation and becoming a wholly-owned
subsidiary of TekInsight. The accompanying financial statements and footnotes
are presented to reflect the acquisition under the pooling of interests method
of accounting, which requires the restatement of prior years' financial
statements as if the acquisition was consummated at the beginning of all periods
presented.
On May 25, 1999, TekInsight incorporated TekInsight Services in
Delaware as a wholly-owned subsidiary of TekInsight to be active in the
electronic commerce industry.
TekInsight is the parent corporation for the following wholly-owned
subsidiaries: Physicians Support Services, Inc., a California corporation;
Clinishare Diabetes Centers, Inc., d/b/a SugarFree Centers, Inc., a California
corporation; USC-Michigan, Inc., a Michigan corporation, and its wholly-owned
subsidiary, PCS, Inc.-West, a Michigan Corporation. The above-named subsidiaries
have discontinued operations.
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
A. Principles of Consolidation - The financial statements include the
accounts of TekInsight and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant
inter-company transactions have been eliminated.
B. Revenue Recognition - TekInsight licenses software to end users
under license agreements. TekInsight has recognized revenues in accordance with
Statement of Position 97-2 entitled "Software Revenue Recognition" (SOP 97-2),
issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.
C. Property and Equipment - Property and equipment is stated at cost
and is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of
the assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the term of their
respective leases or service lives of the improvements, whichever is shorter.
D. Income (loss) per Common Share - Basic earnings per share has been
calculated based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.
Convertible preferred stock has been excluded as common stock equivalents in the
diluted earnings per share because they are either antidilutive, or their effect
is not material.
E. Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
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.
F. Cash and Cash Equivalents - TekInsight considers all highly liquid
temporary cash investments with an original maturity of three months or less
when purchased, to be cash equivalents.
G. Stock Based Compensation - TekInsight accounts for employee stock
transactions in accordance with APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting For Stock Issued
To Employees." TekInsight has

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited with respect to the nine-months
ended March 31, 2000 and March 31, 1999)
adopted the pro forma disclosure requirements of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting For Stock-Based Compensation."
H. Fair Value of Financial Instruments - The carrying amounts reported
in the balance sheet for cash, trade receivables, accounts payable and accrued
expenses approximate fair value based on the short-term maturity of these
instruments.
I. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets - TekInsight reviews long-lived
assets for impairment whenever circumstances and situations change such that
there is an indication that the carrying amounts may not be recovered. At
December 31, 1999 and at June 30, 1999, TekInsight believes that there has been
no impairment of its long-lived assets.
J. Capitalized Software Costs - TekInsight accounts for costs of
developing computer software for sale in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 86, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to
be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed", under which costs incurred prior to the
establishment of a product's technological feasibility are expensed as research
and development and costs incurred from the point of technological feasibility
through the point that a product is ready for market are capitalized and
amortized in the greater of the relations that revenues earned bear to total
expected revenues over the life of the product or straight-line over the life of
the product. Capitalized software costs are evaluated periodically and written
down to net realizable value when necessary. Amortization of capitalized
software costs for the periods ended June 30, 1999, 1998, and 1997 were
$312,966, $82,674, and $20,489, respectively.
K. Comprehensive Income - TekInsight has adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 130 (SFAS 130) "Reporting Comprehensive Income."
Comprehensive income is comprised of net income (loss) and all changes to the
statements of stockholders' equity, except those due to investments by
stockholders, changes in paid-in capital and distribution to stockholders.
L. Interim Financial Statements. The consolidated financial statements
as of March 31, 2000 and for the nine months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 are
presented as unaudited. In the opinion of management, these financial statements
include all adjustments necessary to present fairly the information set forth
therein. These adjustments consist solely of normal recurring accruals. The
interim results of operations for the nine months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999
are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year
or for any other interim period.
2. Discontinued Operations
On January 28, 1998, TekInsight sold its operating assets and the stock
of its two principal operating subsidiaries, Diabetes Self Care, Inc. and USCI
Healthcare Management Solutions, Inc., to Gainor Medical Management, LLC, a
privately held Georgia company, for a gross purchase price of $34 million in
cash, as reduced by $8,725,226 of specified liabilities of TekInsight, and $17
million by the delivery of a Gainor convertible subordinated promissory note .
Out of the cash received at closing, TekInsight satisfied an aggregate of
$4,451,136 in liabilities to permit the required transfer of assets to Gainor
free and clear of encumbrances. The note bore interest at a simple rate of 7%
per annum through December 31, 1998 and 8% thereafter until payment in full of
the principal balance no later than January 28, 2003. Prior to its maturity, the
note was convertible into equity securities of Gainor, at the election of
TekInsight, upon the successful completion of a public offering of such equity
securities by Gainor, subject to restrictions. TekInsight's stockholders
approved the sale of its business at their annual meeting

TekInsight.Com, Inc. and Subsidiaries
(formerly Tadeo Holdings, Inc.)
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited with respect to the nine-months
ended March 31, 2000 and March 31, 1999)
held on January 26, 1998 in Livonia, Michigan, at which time they also approved
an amendment to TekInsight's certificate of incorporation, changing its name to
TekInsight.
In addition to offsets for customary indemnification under the asset
purchase agreement among the parties, dated November 14, 1997, the principal
amount of the note was subject to reduction in the event that (i) such principal
amount did not equal at least 75% of Gainor's revenues from operation of
Diabetes during calendar 1998, in which event the note would be reduced by the
difference between 75% of such revenues and $17 million, (ii) Gainor would not
able to collect at least $5.75 million from the accounts receivable sold to
Gainor as part of the transaction during the one-year period succeeding the
closing, in which event the note would be reduced by the difference between
$5.75 million and the amount of receivables actually collected, and (iii) prior
to July 28, 1998 fewer than 3,334 former customers of PCS, Inc. West will be
customers of Gainor, in which event the note would be reduced by $600 for each
former customer of PCS, Inc. West less than the minimum 3,334 who fails to
transfer to Gainor, up to a maximum amount of $2 million.
In September 1998, Gainor notified TekInsight that the assignment of
benefits provision is currently at the maximum adjustment level of $2 million.
Gainor made a $559,800 downward adjustment to the note principal, and granted an
extension until November 21, 1998 of the time for a sufficient number of
assignments of benefits to be received by Gainor in order to avoid further
downward adjustment to the note principal. Gainor had previously reduced the
note balance by approximately $145,000, for what were claimed to be unrecorded
purchase date accruals, as an adjustment to the closing balance sheet under the
asset purchase agreement. In addition, Gainor notified TekInsight that as of
August 31, 1998, (i) its collection of receivables purchased from TekInsight
pursuant to the asset purchase agreement were behind schedule that, an
annualized basis, would result in collecting more than $5.75 million of such
account, and (ii) its generation of revenues from operations of the purchased
business was not as anticipated, either of which could result in additional
downward adjustments to the note principal under the terms of the asset purchase
agreement.
As a result of the aforementioned, TekInsight reduced the carrying
basis of the note to $6 million at June 30, 1998 based on what management
believed would be the value of the note if it were to be sold to an unrelated
third party in an arms-length transaction.
Accordingly, TekInsight reduced the gain on the disposal of the
discontinued business by $11 million.
In April 1999, the note was prepaid by Gainor in the amount $9.3
million and TekInsight recognized a gain of $3.3 million on the collection of
such Note.
In connection with TekInsight's sale of Diabetes, the accompanying
financial statements have been restated to present such businesses as
discontinued operations.
The revenue of the discontinued businesses was $19,136,465 and
$34,001,626 for the fiscal years ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
3. Business Acquisition
On October 27, 1998, TekInsight completed the acquisition of AstraTek
pursuant to a merger. TekInsight acquired AstraTek pursuant to a merger of
AstraTek Acquisition Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of TekInsight, with and
into AstraTek, with AstraTek becoming the wholly-owned subsidiary of TekInsight.
The merger was effected in accordance with an agreement and plan of merger,
dated as of

October 23, 1998, among TekInsight, AstraTek Acquisition Corp., AstraTek and the
stockholders of AstraTek.
AstraTek develops software tools and related products for Internet and
intranet technology and provides consulting and professional services for
several major companies. As per the merger agreement delivered to AstraTek
stockholders, TekInsight issued 2,294,900 shares of TekInsight's common stock in
exchange for cancellation of all the issued and outstanding shares of the
capital stock of AstraTek prior to the merger and the issuance of 100 shares of
AstraTek common stock to TekInsight post-merger. The acquisition is accounted
for as a pooling of interests business combination. Accordingly, TekInsight's
prior years' financial statements are restated as if the acquisition had been
consummated at the beginning of all periods presented. The revenue and net
income for TekInsight and AstraTek from July 1, 1998 through October 27, 1998,
and the fiscal years ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 are as follows:

4. Marketable Securities
On September 24, 1998, TekInsight completed a stock purchase agreement
between ViewCast.com Inc. (VCST) and TekInsight. VCST purchased $2 million worth
of restricted TekInsight common stock valued at $2 million for $2 million worth
of VCST common stock. TekInsight issued 1,240,310 shares of TekInsight common
stock at the sale price of $1.6125 per share and received one million shares of
VCST's common stock for the purchase price of $2.00 per share. In the case of
each corporation, the number of shares issued was less than 20% of the
outstanding common stock of the issuer on September 24, 1998. On April 23, 1999,
TekInsight sold approximately 460,000 shares of VCST for $6.00 a share in a
private transaction. TekInsight realized a net gain of approximately $1,690,000
after brokerage commissions from this sale.
In June 1999, TekInsight exchanged $1 million market value of its
common stock, $.0001 par value, for $1 million market value of shares of common
stock, $.0001 par value, of a direct marketing company, StyleSite Marketing,
Inc. (formerly Diplomat Direct marketing Inc.) under the terms of a securities
purchase agreement. In addition, TekInsight purchased 10,000 shares of Style
convertible preferred stock at $100.00 per share from the same direct marketing
company.
Pursuant to an agreement with Business Talk Radio.Net, Inc. (See note
10) TekInsight owns 564,056 shares of Business Talk Series C preferred stock,
par value $.0001 per share, convertible into 5% of the current outstanding
capital stock of Business Talk. Each share of Class C preferred stock has a
liquidation preference of $.4432 until January 1, 2000, at which time the Class
C preferred stock preference becomes $.2217. On January 3, 2000, TekInsight
Services exercised an option, which, for a payment of $250,000, TekInsight
acquired an additional 564,056 shares of Business Talk Series C preferred stock
for $.4432 per share.
Style announced on January 21, 2000 that it had filed a Chapter 11
Petition in the New York Southern District for itself and its subsidiaries.
TekInsight has set up an allowance for doubtful accounts on its receivables from
Style in the amount of $111,500 as of December 31, 1999. TekInsight is currently
carrying on its balance sheet at March 31, 2000 under "Investments - marketable

securities", 1,066,098 shares of common stock of Style at 99% below cost, or at
$.01 per share. TekInsight also has 10,000 shares of Series G preferred stock of
Style at $100.00 per share. TekInsight holds a personal guarantee from Robert
Rubin, an affiliate of Style, on obligations with respect to the preferred
stock, and the value has been kept at cost. Depending upon the results of a
further analysis of this guarantee at year end, TekInsight may adjust the value
of the preferred stock.
On April 20, 2000, TekInsight filed an action against Style and its
lender, First Source Financial, LLP, in the United State Bankruptcy Court,
Southern District of New York (Bankruptcy Case No. 00-10099), to establish a
constructive trust in its favor with respect to, and to request that the court
order Style and First Source to deliver to TekInsight, the $1,000,000 purchase
price paid for 10,000 shares of Style Series G preferred stock and the shares of
TekInsight common stock having a then $1,000,000 market value delivered to Style
in exchange for an equal market value of Style common stock under an agreement
dated June 30, 1999.
On September 1, 1999, AstraTek entered into a consulting and
professional service agreement with 4th Peripheral Technologies, Inc., pursuant
to which AstraTek is engaged to provide executive advisory consulting services,
as requested, and on a fee schedule to be negotiated at the time an assignment
is made, intended to increase 4th Peripheral's value and strategic position in
connection with its business as a developer of cyber extension technology to
provide remote access to data from handheld devices. In an effort to strengthen
AstraTek's strategic relationships with 4th Peripheral, TekInsight purchased in
private placement of securities 250,000 shares of 4th Peripheral common stock,
par value $.0001 per share, for $250,000.
The aforementioned marketable securities have been classified as
available for sale securities at March 31, 2000 and June 30, 1999 and
accordingly, the unrealized gain resulting from valuing such securities at
market value is reflected as a component of stockholders' equity.
5. Asset Purchase Agreement
In August 1997, TekInsight executed an agreement with Bankers Trust,
under which TekInsight acquired the rights to some of its software, which was
under development by principals of TekInsight in their capacity as employees of
Bankers Trust. In connection with the agreement, Bankers Trust is owed $100,000
and an approximate quarterly revenue share amount of $25,000 (which are included
in June 30, 1999 year end accruals.) The quarterly accrual is related to asset
purchase agreement, in which Bankers Trust will receive 10% of all revenues
associated with the VisualAudit for Excel product until such time as Bankers
Trust has received $250,000 and 5% of all revenues associated with the
VisualAudit for Excel product until such time as Bankers Trust has received
$500,000.
6. Note Receivable
TekInsight provided a cosmetic manufacturing and marketing company,
Azurel Ltd, with $1,528,167 in loan financing through the issuance of one note
bearing interest at 8% due in May 2001, and $500,000 through the issuance of a
note bearing interest at 20.8% due in August 1999. The $500,000 note was later
amended on August 12, 1999 to (i) extend the due date to June 2000, (ii) reduce
the interest rate to 10%, and (iii) increase the principal of the note from
$500,000 to $550,000 for accrued interest of $26,580 and a premium of $23,420
for extending the maturity date and lowering the interest rate. In addition,
TekInsight received warrants to acquire 500,000 shares of common stock of such
company at an exercise price of $1.50 per share.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited with respect to the nine-months
ended March 31, 2000 and March 31, 1999)
Repayment of amounts outstanding under the credit note was secured by a
pledge of approximately 66.66% of the outstanding shares of Azurel operating
subsidiaries under the terms of the pledge security agreement, but which pledge
has since been released following a sale of those subsidiaries by Azurel and the
restructure of the security arrangement with a pledge to TekInsight Services of
a $1,800,000 subordinated promissory note being part of the purchase price
therefor. In consideration for its pledge release, the exercise price on
warrants to acquire 500,000 shares of Azurel common stock held by TekInsight and
TekInsight Services was lowered to $.60 per share (the current market price of
Azurel common stock) from $1.50 per share. The Azurel warrants were received
from Azurel originally in further consideration for advances to Azurel under the
credit note. The shares acquired upon exercise of such Azurel warrants are
subject to registration rights provided under the terms of a registration rights
agreement, as amended, dated June 1, 1999.
Azurel is in default in its interest payments on the credit note and
the note, and on lease payments under an equipment lease of computer hardware
and software terminating in November 2001, and defaults have been declared. Due
to the fact that TekInsight is currently negotiating to restructure all of such
obligations with Azurel, it has not accelerated repayment of such obligations,
attempted to foreclose on any available collateral, or sought to recover the
leased equipment. As of March 31, 2000, income of $106,050 has been recognized
for the three obligations mentioned above.

(A) Agreement dated June 1, 1997, subsequently assigned to a trust, the
beneficiaries of which are relatives of an officer, stockholder and
director, to provide maximum funding of $750,000, collateralized by
substantially all of AstraTek, Inc.'s assets. The debt went into a
default because of the non-payment of interest. On October 22, 1998,
AstraTek, Inc. obtained a waiver from the holder to forebear any action
through November 30, 1998. In exchange, TekInsight agreed to pay a fee
of $10,000 and to convert $350,000 of the principal into 378,829 shares
of common stock
(B) To be repaid out of future profits, if any, at a maximum aggregate
amount of $2,000 per month.
(C) Due to a former owner of a subsidiary, unsecured, payable monthly.
9. Concentration of Credit Risk
TekInsight maintains cash balances at a financial institution located
in New York. Accounts at the institution are insured by Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation up to $100,000. TekInsight's cash balances exceeded such
insured limits.
10. Commitments, Contingencies, and Other Agreements
TekInsight is obligated under two leases for base annual rent of
approximately $114,000 (Michigan) and $126,000 (New York City) through September
2002 and November 2002, respectively. A portion of the Michigan location has
been subleased for rent of $47,592 annually, plus an allocation of 42.5% of
common area expenses under the master lease.
Department of Health Services - One of TekInsight's discontinued
wholly-owned subsidiaries underwent an audit by the California State
Controller's Office, Division of Audits, for the purpose of determining
compliance with guidelines of the California Department of Health Services
("Medi-Cal") and the California State Board of Equalization. The controller's
office issued a report to the effect that the subsidiary owed, and issued a
letter of demand for, $1.3 million, contending that for the period July 1, 1990
to June 30, 1993, the subsidiary practiced unfair pricing to its customers.
Additionally, accrued interest on the amount demanded is also sought by the
controller's office. The subsidiary has appealed the ruling, which has been
upheld. The California Court of Appeals has also upheld the ruling. TekInsight
has provided a reserve of $1,400,000, $700,000 of which was accrued in the year
ended June 30, 1999. There is no other material litigation against TekInsight or
its subsidiaries.

On May 28, 1999, as amended by agreements dated as of June 1, 1999,
TekInsight Services entered into a Web design and consulting agreement with
Azurel, Ltd., a public company engaged in the business of manufacturing and
distributing cosmetics and other related products. Under the terms of the Azurel
Web agreement, based upon the fee schedule to be included in that agreement,
TekInsight Services agreed to provide all necessary consulting and development
services to design, maintain and enhance Azurel's electronic commerce Internet
sites and other related electronic commerce marketing vehicles. TekInsight
services paid Azurel $500,000 for Azurel's provision of content and marketing
consulting services in connection with assistance provided to TekInsight
Services' electronic commerce development activities for Azurel and other
clients. At the same time, to enhance the strategic relationship between Azurel,
TekInsight and TekInsight Services, TekInsight Services lent to Azurel an
aggregate of $1,528,167 under the terms of a credit agreement, as amended, dated
as of June 1, 1999 (with part of the aggregate principal reflecting the
restructuring of a March 31, 1999 short-term $500,000 promissory note), with
interest payable at the rate of 8% per annum, payable monthly, and with all
principal and accrued interest due on May 28, 2001. Repayment of amounts
outstanding under the credit agreement is secured by a pledge of a $1,800,000
subordinated promissory note made to the order of Azurel under the terms of a
pledge security agreement, as amended, by and between Azurel, TekInsight and
TekInsight Services. In further consideration for its advances to Azurel under
the credit agreement, TekInsight Services received from Azurel warrants to
acquire 500,000 shares of Azurel common stock, exercisable at $1.50 per share
which was subsequently lowered to $.60 per share, with the shares acquired upon
exercise of such warrants being subject to registration rights provided under
the terms of registration rights agreement, as amended, dated as of June 1,
1999. On May 12, 1999, TekInsight extended a $500,000 loan to Azurel, due August
1999, bearing interest at 20.8%. The $500,000 note was later amended on August
12, 1999 to (i) extend the due date to June 2000, (ii) reduce the interest rate
to 10%, and (iii) increase the principal of the note from $500,000 to $550,000
for accrued interest of $26,580 and a premium of $23,420 for extending the
maturity date and lowering the interest rate.
Under agreements dated as of June 30, 1999, TekInsight Services entered
into both a Web design and consulting agreement and an online hosting agreement
with Style, a public company engaged in the business of distributing women's and
children's fashion apparel and related accessories through catalogue sales and
over the Internet. Under the terms of the Style Web agreements, based upon the
fee schedules provided in those agreements, TekInsight Services was to provide
all necessary consulting and development services to design, maintain and
enhance Style's electronic commerce Internet sites and other related electronic
commerce marketing vehicles, as well as to host those sites on behalf of Style.
TekInsight Services paid Style $500,000 for Style's provision of content and
marketing consulting services in connection with assistance provided to
TekInsight Services' electronic commerce development activities for Style and
other clients. In addition to payments by Style for the services provided under
the Style Web agreements, in further consideration for its services to Style
under the Style Web agreements, TekInsight Services will receive royalties from
Style based upon Style's ongoing electronic commerce businesses.
The royalties are equal to 5% of Style's electronic commerce revenues,
until $500,000 has been paid to TekInsight Services, and thereafter 20% of
specified Style electronic commerce net income in perpetuity. Pursuant to
Style's Chapter 11 filing in January 2000 it is uncertain as to whether
TekInsight will be able to enforce Style's obligation to pay royalties under the
Web agreement.
TekInsight Services has entered into an agreement with Business Talk
under which, for a payment of $250,000, TekInsight Services obtained an
assignable credit for the purchase of advertising time on radio programs
operated by Business Talk having a value of $1,200,000, and shares of Series C
preferred stock convertible into 5% of the currently outstanding capital stock

the transaction, TekInsight Services obtained an option to acquire an equivalent
number of shares of Business Talk capital stock for an exercise price of
$250,000 (which it exercised in February 2000), as well as the right to "stream"
the content of Business Talk programming on its and its affiliates Web sites
during the course of a three-year period without an additional payment to
Business Talk. Business Talk creates and distributes the content of its
business-oriented radio programming for broadcasting on third-party operated
radio stations in a variety of markets throughout the United States.
On November 5, 1999, TekInsight signed a web site design and
development agreement with Med-Emerg International, a physician management
company in Canada. Med-Emerg through its subsidiary HealthyConnect.com, Inc., an
Internet information technology company, uses enabling technology to link
patients, physicians and service providers. Pursuant to the agreement,
TekInsight will receive, measured as of the date of the agreement, a total of
$775,000, payable in three equal monthly payments of $50,000 and three equal
monthly payments of $75,000 along with 320,000 shares of Med-Emerg common stock
having a fair market value of $1.25 per share on the date of the agreement
($400,000). The Med-Emerg common stock became deliverable on June 5, 2000. In
return, TekInsight will jointly develop with Med-Emerg a health portal.
On May 15, 2000 TekInsight entered into a consulting agreement with its
President who is also a director. The agreement expires in February 2002 and
automatically renews for successive 90 day periods unless terminated by either
party. The agreement provides for a monthly consulting fee of $23,000 and
options to purchase 400,000 shares of TekInsight at $3.00 per share. Of the
options granted, options for 200,000 shares vested and were exercisable as of
February 1, 2000. The remaining 200,000 options vest and are exercisable,
100,000 each when the average closing price for one share of TekInsight common

On May 18, 2000, TekInsight announced the formation of TekInsight
e-Government Services, a joint marketing effort with Data Systems (see Note 17)
intended to serve large and small municipalities and state and government
agencies.
11. Income Taxes
TekInsight accounts for income taxes under Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (SFAS No. 109.) SFAS
No. 109 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both
the expected impact of differences between the financial statements and tax
basis of assets and liabilities, and for the expected future tax benefit to be
derived from tax loss and tax credit carryforwards. SFAS No. 109 additionally
requires the establishment of a valuation allowance to reflect the likelihood of
realization of deferred tax assets.
The benefit for income taxes from continuing operations differs from
the amount computed applying the statutory federal income tax rate to loss
before income taxes as follows:

</TABLE>
During the year ended June 30, 1999, TekInsight utilized approximately
$3,100,000 of available net operating loss carryforwards. AstraTek has
approximately $1,200,000 of net operating loss carryforwards subject to
limitations on annual utilization because there was "equity structure shifts" or
"owner shifts" involving 5% Shareholders (as these terms are defined in Section
382 of the Internal Revenue Code), which have resulted in a more than 50% change
in ownership. The resulted deferred tax asset from such net operating loss
carryforwards has been fully reserved for.
12. Stockholders' Equity
A. Preferred stock - The certificate of incorporation of TekInsight
authorizes the issuance of a maximum of 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock.
TekInsight's Board of Directors is vested with the authority to divide the class
of preferred shares into series and to fix and determine the relative rights and
preferences of shares of any such series to the extent permitted by the laws of
the State of Delaware and the Articles of Incorporation.
B. Series A redeemable preferred stock - In April 1995, in connection
with the acquisition of PCS, Inc. - West, TekInsight issued 580,000 shares of
Series A redeemable preferred stock. The shares contained a liquidation
preference of $5 per share and paid no dividends. They are mandatorily
redeemable at $5 per share, over a five-year period in equal monthly
installments beginning in October 1995. TekInsight recorded the present value of
the required future payments as a liability utilizing a discount rate of 9%. The
portion of the monthly redemption installments which are attributed to this
discounting factor are accounted for as preferred stock dividends. At June 30,
1998, there were 229,950 shares outstanding. In August 1998, TekInsight amended
the certificate of designation to allow for the conversion of the Series A
preferred stock and the remaining balance was converted into 1,363,163 shares of
common stock in September 1998.
C. In April 1995, in connection with the acquisition of PCS, TekInsight
issued 1,000,000 shares of Series B cumulative convertible preferred stock. Each
share contains a liquidation preference of

(formerly Tadeo Holdings, Inc.)
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited with respect to the nine-months
ended March 31, 2000 and March 31, 1999)
$1.00 per share. Each share was convertible into common stock at the rate of two
shares for one common share and paid a cumulative dividend at the rate of $.02
per share annually, beginning in September 1996, increasing to $.12 per share
through June 30, 2000. However, such dividend only become payable if, in the
immediate preceding fiscal year, TekInsight had pre-tax income of at least
$500,000. In August 1999, all Series B preferred stock was converted into
500,000 shares of common stock in accordance with the corporate charter and at
the request of the holders.
D. In connection with its December 1992 public offering, TekInsight has
1,143,800 Class A warrants outstanding to purchase common stock at $3.30 per
share which expire in December 2000.
13. Stock Option Plan
A. TekInsight's 1992 employee stock option plan was approved by
TekInsight's board of directors and stockholders in June 1992. On July 28, 1993,
210,000 stock options, exercisable at $1.50 per share, for a period of ten
years, were issued under the 1992 plan. Options granted under the 1992 plan may
include those qualified as incentive stock options under Section 422A of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, as well as non-qualified options.
Employees as well as other individuals, such as outside directors, who provide
necessary services to TekInsight are eligible to participate in the 1992 plan.
Non-employees and part-time employees may receive only non-qualified stock
options. The maximum number of shares of common stock for which options may be
granted under the 1992 plan is 500,000 shares.
B. In November 1997, TekInsight established the 1997 stock option plan
for non-employee directors, which authorizes the issuance of up to 300,000
options to purchase common stock at an exercise price of 100% of the common
stock's market price. Subsequent to its adoption at the annual meeting in
February 1998, 30,000 five-year options were granted under this plan at an
exercise price of $1.81 per share. On each of July 1, 1999 and 1998, an
additional 30,000 five-year options were granted at an exercise price of $3.78
and $.97 per share, respectively.
14. Accounting for Stock Options
TekInsight accounts for stock options issued to employees under APB
Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees", under which no
compensation expense is recognized if the exercise price equals the stock market
value on the measurement date (generally the grant date.) TekInsight has adopted
the pro forma disclosure requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation."
For disclosure purposes, the fair value of each option is measured at
the grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following
weighted average assumptions used for stock options granted during the years
ended June 30, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively; annual dividends of $0.00 for
all years; expected volatility of 50% for the year ended June 30, 1999, and
86.3% for the years ended June 30, 1998 and 1997; risk free interest rate of
5.7% for the year ended June 30, 1999, and 7.0% for the years ended June 30,
1998 and 1997, and expected life of five years for all years.
If TekInsight had recognized compensation cost in accordance with SFAS
No. 123, TekInsight's pro forma net loss and net loss per share would have been
$3.1 million and $.30 for fiscal 1997. The effect for fiscal 1999 and 1998 would
not be material.

TekInsight's president, in exchange for a note receivable, which bore interest
at the rate of 10% per annum. This note was paid in full during the fiscal year

principal, $100,000 for its operations. The $100,000 secured note bore interest
at 10% (per annum) and its original December 30, 1999 maturity was extended to
March 31, 2000 in consideration for an increase in interest rate to 11% per
annum. The note was paid in full at maturity.

TekInsight entered into the following contracts subsequent to the
disposal of its business:
A. TekInsight agreed to make severance payments aggregating $708,000 to
a former operating officer. An initial payment of $250,000 was paid and the
remaining $458,000 was to be paid in sixty equal monthly installments of $7,633
commencing March 1998 and continuing through March 2003. TekInsight recorded the
present value of this contract at $359,265. The balance which was $280,209 at
June 30, 1999 is currently payable since the note due from Gainor was prepaid
(See Note 2). Additionally, TekInsight will continue to pay quarterly premiums
on the officer's existing $350,000 life insurance policy through December 31,
1999.
B. TekInsight entered into agreements with three former officers in
July 1998, for an aggregate consideration of $862,498, with $385,000 paid in
August 1998, $225,000 settled through the issuance of notes payable due in
January 2000, bearing interest at 7% per annum and the $252,490 balance settled

of common stock (at $1.00 value per share) and the exercise price of
concurrently granted options to acquire

17. Subsequent Events
In November 1999 TekInsight formed BugSolver.Com, Inc. to provide
technology and services for the resolution of computer hardware and software
systems failures.

Systems Network Corporation. Pursuant to the letter of intent, Data Systems
agreed to enter into a proposed acquisition transaction calling for Data Systems
to be merged into TekInsight Services, Inc., a wholly owned and principal
operating subsidiary of TekInsight. In consideration for the merger,
shareholders of Data Systems will receive a number of shares of a new class of
TekInsight convertible preferred stock (convertible into TekInsight common
stock) proposed to be listed on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market that will have a
market value of between $12,500,000 and $18,000,000, with such value to be based
upon the market price of TekInsight common stock at the time of closing.
Although no assurances can be given, the parties intend to close the merger by
June 30, 2000.
On February 18, 2000, TekInsight and Data Systems entered into an
agreement and plan of merger pursuant to which Data Systems will be merged into
TekInsight Services, Inc., a wholly owned and operating subsidiary of
TekInsight. In consideration for the merger, shareholders of Data Systems' will
receive a varying purchase price which will equal $12,500,000 if the market
price of TekInsight's common stock at the time of closing is less than $5.00 per
share, $16,000,000 if the market price is between $5.00 and $7.00 per share, and
$18,000,000 if the market price is over $7.00 per share. The merger price will
be delivered to shareholders of Data Systems through a distribution of a number
of shares of a new class of TekInsight convertible preferred stock proposed to
be listed on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market. Completion of the merger is subject to
a number of conditions, including receipt of TekInsight and Data Systems
shareholder approval, acceptance by Nasdaq for the listing of the convertible
preferred stock and other customary closing conditions. There can be no
assurance the Nasdaq listing will be obtained for the newly issued convertible
preferred stock, or that any of the closing conditions will be satisfied. By
agreement dated June 28, 2000, among other things, the outside closing date for
the merger was extended to September 15, 2000. Although no assurances can be
given, the parties intend to close the merger no later than August 15, 2000.

Data Systems Network Corporation
Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements
Note A - Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies
Data Systems Network Corporation (Data Systems), incorporated in
Michigan in 1986, provides computer network services and products that allow
companies to control their complex distributed computing environments, allowing
companies to capitalize on their investments in technology and people. Data
Systems wide range of services includes applications development, network
services, enterprise management, help desk and security services. Data Systems
also provides a wide range of network integration services including
installation, consultation, technical support and training to governmental and
corporate accounts.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Data
Systems and its former subsidiary, Unified Network Service, Inc (UNS.) The
operations of UNS were sold during 1998 and they are shown as discontinued
operations (See Note C.)
Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, Data Systems considers all
highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less
to be cash equivalents.
Restricted Cash
At March 31, 2000, cash of $1,319,000 was restricted in connection with
maintenance agreements. It will become unrestricted as revenue is recognized
according to the terms of the agreements.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market as determined by
the weighted average method. Inventories consist of goods for resale and service
parts which represent equipment spares utilized for service contracts.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation and
amortization are computed principally using the straight-line method based upon
estimated useful lives ranging from 5 to 7 years. Amortization of leasehold
improvements is provided over the terms of the various leases.
Goodwill and Long-Lived Assets
The cost in excess of net assets acquired (goodwill) is amortized using
the straight-line method over twenty years which is the estimate of future
periods to be benefited. Data Systems performs a review for impairment when
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset
may not be recoverable. Undiscounted estimated future cash flows of an asset are
compared with its carrying value, if the cash flows are less than the carrying
value, an impairment loss is recognized.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for by using an asset and liability
approach. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected
future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial basis and
F-29
<PAGE>
tax basis of assets and liabilities. Assets and liabilities are measured using
enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which
those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue recognition for consulting, network installation services, time
and materials services, and training is recognized when the services are
rendered. Revenue from the sale of merchandise is recognized when the customer
receives the product. Revenue from the sales of after-installation service
maintenance contracts is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lives of
the respective contracts.
Product Returns and Service Adjustments
Product returns and service adjustments are estimated based upon
historical data. Data Systems' customers have no contractual rights to return
products. Data Systems determines whether to accept product returns on a
case-by-case basis and will generally accept product returns only upon payment
of a restocking fee and/or if the products may be returned to the manufacturer.
Data Systems offers no warranty separate from the product manufacturers'
warranties.
Earnings or Loss Per Share
In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement No. 128, "Earnings per Share" (SFAS 128.) SFAS 128 specifies the
computation and presentation and disclosure requirements for earnings per share
(EPS) of entities with publicly held common stock or potential common stock.
SFAS 128 defines two EPS calculations, basic and diluted. The objective of basic
EPS is to measure the performance of an entity over the reporting period by
dividing income available to common stock by the weighted average of shares
outstanding. The objective of diluted EPS is consistent with that of basic EPS
while giving effect to all dilutive potential common shares that were
outstanding. As of March 31, 2000 and for year ended December 31, 1999, there
were no potentially dilutive common shares. For year ended December 31, 1998,
all potential common shares were excluded from the computation of diluted
earnings per share because the effect would have been anti-dilutive.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make 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.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of Data Systems' financial instruments consist
primarily of cash and cash equivalents, bank lines of credit, accounts
receivables, accounts payable and short-term and long-term debt, approximate
their fair values.
Financial Statement Presentation
Certain amounts in the 1998 and 1997 financial statements have been
reclassified to conform to the 1999 presentation.
Note B - Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going
concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction
F-30
<PAGE>
of liabilities in the normal course of business. As shown in the financial
statements, the year ended December 31, 1999 reflected net earnings of
approximately $191,000, however, Data Systems had a loss from operations of
approximately $787,000. During the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, Data
Systems incurred losses of $4,678,893 and $4,974,100, respectively. These losses
have contributed to Data Systems' deficit in working capital of $2,177,185 at
December 31, 1999. These factors, among others, could raise doubt about Data
Systems' ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of
this uncertainty.
Management's plans with respect to this matter include a continued
focus on reducing operational and overhead costs and the implementation of a
change in strategy to emphasize service sales rather than product sales, which
is expected to increase margins. Management believes the consolidation of its
business operations and the stabilization of strategic business relationships
will enable Data Systems to meet its obligations and attain a level of
operations that are profitable.
In addition, upon completion of the merger with TekInsight (See Note
P), Data Systems believes that additional financial resources will be available
and synergies relating to business opportunities will be realized to help return
Data Systems to profitability.
Note C - Discontinued Operations - Sale of Unified Network Services Inc.
During 1998, Data Systems decided to sell its 70% interest in its large
account network management services operation, Unified Network Services Inc.
Under the terms of the original purchase agreement, the minority shareholders of
UNS elected to exercise a contract option to purchase the UNS subsidiary. The
terms of the sale included $7,000 in cash and a note for $3,000,000, which is
secured by the stock of UNS. The buyers also assumed the existing liabilities of
UNS. The gain upon disposal of the discontinued operations is net of allowances
of $3,000,000 due to the uncertainty of the buyer's ability to repay the note
and $989,400 in advances made by Data Systems for working capital, and payment
of assumed liabilities.
The results of operations of the discontinued operations for the years
ended December 31, 1998 and 1997 are summarized below:

Note G - Lines of Credit
On September 30, 1998 Data Systems and Foothill Capital Corporation
entered into a credit facility. The Foothill Agreement provides for an revolving
line of credit not to exceed $15 million. The available line of credit at
F-32
<PAGE>
December 31,1999 was $644,003 and $438,471 at March 31, 2000. Data Systems may,
at its option and subject to specified collateral requirements, increase the
line to $20 million during the term of the Foothill Agreement. Borrowing limits
under the Foothill Agreement are determined based on a collateral formula, which
includes 85% of qualified trade receivables. Borrowings under the Foothill
Agreement bear interest at 1% over Norwest Bank prime (9.5 % at December 31,
1999 and 10.0% at March 31, 2000) and have a term extending to September 30,
2001.
Data Systems is required to maintain financial ratios. At December 31,
1999 and March 31, 2000, Data Systems was in compliance with all of the ratios
required by Foothill Capital Corporation. In addition, there are restrictions
with respect to dividend distribution.
In connection with the Foothill agreement, Data Systems issued a
warrant for 50,000 shares of common stock with an exercise price not greater
than $2.20 per share. This warrant will expire September 30, 2003.
Note H - Lease Commitments
Data Systems has entered into several non-cancelable operating leases
for office space, computer equipment, and furniture and fixtures that expire at
various dates through 2004. The approximate future minimum annual rentals under
non-cancelable operating leases are as follows:

Note J - Redemption of Warrants
During February 1997, Data Systems called all of its outstanding
redeemable common stock purchase warrants for redemption as of March 10, 1997
pursuant to the warrant agreement, dated October 28, 1994, setting forth the
terms of the purchase warrants. Approximately 99% of the warrants were exercised
on or prior to the date of redemption at a price of $6.25 per warrant, resulting
in net proceeds to Data Systems of approximately $7,400,000. In connection with
the receipt of consent to the redemption, Data Systems agreed to file a
registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect
to 60,000 units, issued to the underwriters' representatives in Data Systems'
initial public offering, consisting of two common shares and two warrants to
purchase an additional two common shares which may be purchased upon exercise of
a warrant. The exercise price of these warrants was reduced from $16.50 to
$12.50 per unit and the exercise price of the purchase warrants was reduced from
$10.3125 to $6.25 per unit. The registration was completed in July 1997 and
during the third quarter of 1997, all related warrants were exercised, resulting
in net proceeds to Data Systems of approximately $1,400,000.
Note K - Stock Option Plans
In April 1994 Data Systems adopted the 1994 stock option plan. A total
of 200,000 shares were reserved for issuance under the 1994 plan. The options
vest over a two-year period at the rate of 50% per year, beginning on the first
anniversary of the grant date. In April 1997, Data Systems amended the 1994 plan
to increase the reserved shares to 600,000. The vesting period in Data Systems'
form option grant agreement was also changed to 50% on the second anniversary of
the grant date and 25% on each of the third and fourth anniversaries of the
F-34
<PAGE>
grant date. Data Systems' Compensation Committee retains the ability to change
the vesting schedule at any time.
In 1999 Data Systems granted options for 50,000 shares to a director of
Data Systems exercisable at a price of $.66 per share when the fair market
value at the date of the grant was $1.03. Such options vest 50% on the second
anniversary date, and the 25% vest each of the next two years. In 1998 and 1997,
Data Systems granted options for 40,000 and 3,000, shares, respectively,
exercisable at a price of $.88 and $9.83 per share, respectively, which was the
fair market value at the date of grant, to Directors of Data Systems. Such
options vest one year from the grant date.
The per share weighted-average fair value of stock options granted
during 1999, 1998 and 1997 was $1.03, $3.86 and $9.83 per share, respectively.

The Financial Accounting Standard Board has issued Statement No. 123,
"Accounting for Stock Based Compensation" (SFAS No. 123.) The Statement
established a fair value method of accounting for employee stock options and
similar equity instruments such as warrants, and encourages all companies to
adopt that method of accounting for all of their stock compensation plans.
However, the statement allows companies to continue measuring compensation for
such plans using accounting guidance in place prior to SFAS No. 123. Companies
that elect to remain with the former method of accounting must make pro-forma
disclosures of net earnings and earnings per share as if the fair value method
provided for in SFAS No. 123 had been adopted.
The fair value of each grant is estimated on the date of grant using
the Black-Scholes option - pricing model with the following weighted average
assumptions for grants in 1999: dividend yield of 0%, expected volatility of
136.820%, risk-free interest rate of 6.751% and expected life of ten years.
Data Systems has not adopted the fair value accounting provisions of
SFAS No. 123. Accordingly, SFAS No. 123 has no impact on Data Systems' financial
position or results of operations.
Data Systems accounts for the stock option plan under APB Opinion No.
25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." No compensation costs have been
recognized. Had compensation cost for the plan been determined based on the fair
value of the options at the grant dates consistent with the method of SFAS No.
123, Data Systems' net earnings (loss) and earnings (loss) per share would have
been as follows (in thousands, except for per share data):

Note L - Employee Benefit Plans
Data Systems maintains a defined contribution 401(k) plan that covers
substantially all employees. Contributions to the Plan may be made by Data
Systems (which are discretionary) or by plan participants through elective
salary reductions. No contributions were made to the plan by Data Systems during
the three months ended March 31, 2000 and the years ended December 31, 1999,
1998, and 1997.
Note M - Major Customers
In 1998 and 1997, the State of Michigan accounted for approximately 29%
of revenue in each year. Additionally, the State of New York represented 25% and
12% of total revenues for 1999 and 1998 respectively.
Note N -Commitments and Contingencies
Data Systems is involved in routine legal proceedings which are
incidental to its business. All of these proceedings arose in the ordinary
course of Data Systems' business and, in the opinion of Data Systems, any
potential liability of Data Systems with respect to these legal actions will
not, in the aggregate, be material to Data Systems' financial condition or
operations.

Note O - Settlement of Lawsuit
On February 17, 1999, Data Systems announced that it had agreed to a
stipulation of settlement of the consolidated complaint in the shareholder class
action lawsuit captioned, In Re: Data Systems Securities Litigation, Case No.
98-70854. The stipulation of settlement has been filed in federal court in
Detroit, Michigan and the court determined the settlement to be fair on May 24,
1999. Under the terms of the settlement, and subject to various conditions, Data
Systems created a gross settlement fund. The fund benefits a settlement class of
purchasers who bought Data Systems' stock during the period from May 16, 1996
through February 24, 1998. The fund was comprised of $900,000 provided by Data
Systems insurer, and, 650,000 shares of Data Systems' common stock which were
issued June 22, 1999. In agreeing to the settlement, Data Systems and individual
defendants made no admission of any wrongdoing.
As of December 31, 1998, Data Systems recorded a liability for this
settlement in the amount of $1,768,000. The amount of the liability was
calculated assuming that a proposed merger with Information Architects had taken
place and that the shares to be issued were those of Information Architects.
When the plan of merger with Information Architects did not take place
as planned the shares issued in the settlement were those of Data Systems rather
than Information Architects. As a result, the amount of the settlement of the
lawsuit was less than anticipated at December 31, 1998 and Data Systems
recognized $1,137,500 as income in 1999.
Note P - Subsequent Event
On January 18, 2000, Data Systems signed a letter of intent with
TekInsight. Pursuant to the letter of intent, Data Systems agreed to enter into
a proposed acquisition transaction calling for Data Systems to be merged into
TekInsight Services, Inc., a wholly owned and principal operating subsidiary of
TekInsight. In consideration for the merger, shareholders of Data Systems will
receive a number of shares of a new class of TekInsight convertible preferred
stock (convertible into TekInsight common stock on a one to one basis) proposed
to be listed on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market that will have a market value of
between $12,500,000 and $18,000,000, with such value to be based upon the market
price of TekInsight common stock at the time of closing.
On February 18, 2000, Data Systems and TekInsight entered into an
agreement and plan of merger pursuant to which Data Systems will be merged into
TekInsight Services, Inc., a wholly owned and operating subsidiary of
TekInsight. In consideration for the merger, shareholders of Data Systems' will
receive a varying purchase price which will equal $12,500,000 if the market
price of TekInsight's common stock at the time of closing is less than $5.00 per
share, $16,000,000 if the market price is between $5.00 and $7.00 per share, and
$18,000,000 if the market price is over $7.00 per share. The merger price will
be delivered to shareholders of Data Systems through a distribution of a number
of shares of a new class of TekInsight convertible preferred stock proposed to
be listed on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market. Completion of the merger is subject to
a number of conditions, including receipt of TekInsight and Data Systems
shareholder approval, acceptance by Nasdaq for the listing of the convertible
preferred stock and other customary closing conditions. There can be no
assurance the Nasdaq listing will be obtained for the newly issued convertible
preferred stock, or that any of the closing conditions will be satisfied.
Although no assurances can be given, the parties intend to close the merger no
later than August 15, 2000.

the respective parties, in amounts the court finds equitable in the following

expenses are assessed acted arbitrarily, vexatiously, or not in good faith with
respect to the rights provided by this act.

substantial benefit to other dissenters similarly situated, and that the fees
for those services should not be assessed against the corporation, the court may
award to those counsel reasonable fees paid out of the amounts awarded the
dissenters who were benefited.

APPENDIX B
February 8, 2000
Board of Directors
Data Systems Network Corporation
34705 West Twelve Mile Road, Suite 300
Farmington Hills, MI 48331
Gentlemen:
You have asked us to render an opinion (the "Opinion") regarding the fairness,
from a financial point of view, of consideration to be paid to shareholders of
Data Systems Network Corporation ("DSNC" or the "Company"), a Michigan
corporation, in connection with the merger of the Company with and into
Astratek, Inc. ("Merger Sub"), a wholly-owed subsidiary of TekInsight.Com, Inc.,
a Delaware corporation ("Tek"). We understand the structure of the proposed
merger (the "Merger") to be as follows:
1. At the Effective Time, as defined below, and subject to and upon the terms
and conditions of the Agreement and Plan of Merger among Tek, Astratek, and
DSNC (the "Agreement") dated January ____, 2000, and subject to the
applicable provisions of the New York Business Corporation Law ("New York
Law") and the Michigan Business Corporation Act ("Michigan Law"), DSNC shall
be merged with and into Merger Sub, the separate corporate existence of DSNC
shall cease and Merger Sub shall continue as the surviving corporation.
Merger Sub, as the surviving corporation after the Merger, is hereinafter
sometimes referred to as the "Surviving Corporation." It is intended that the
Merger shall qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section
368(a)(2)(D) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
2. Subject to the revisions of the Agreement, the parties shall cause the Merger

New York Law ("Certificate of Merger") and the filing of a Certificate of
Merger with the Michigan Department of Consumer and Industry Services -
Corporation; Securities and Land Development Bureau in accordance with the
relevant provisions of Michigan Law ("Effective Time") as soon as practical
on or after the Closing (as herein defined). The closing of the Merger (the
"Closing") shall take place at the offices of Nixon Peabody LLP, 437 Madison
Avenue, New York, New York 10022, at a time and date to be specified by the
parties, which shall be no later than the second business day after the
satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VI of the
Agreement, or at such other time, date, and location as the parties agree in
writing.

3. At the Effective Time, all the property, rights, privileges, powers, and
franchises of DSNC and Merger Sub shall vest in the Surviving Corporation,
and all the debts, liabilities and duties of DSNC and Merger Sub shall become
the debts, liabilities, and duties of the Surviving Corporation. At the
Effective Time, the separate existence of DSNC will cease and DSNC will be
merged with and into Merger Sub.
4. Except as otherwise provided in the Agreement, each share of common stock,
$.01 par value per share, of DSNC issued and outstanding three (3) days prior
to the Effective Time (the "Outstanding DSNC Common Stock"), will be
cancelled and extinguished and automatically converted into the number of
shares (the "Exchange Ratio") of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, $.0001
par value, of Tek (the "Tek Preferred Stock") equal to the quotient obtained
by dividing $12,500,000 (the "Purchase Price") by the market value of Tek
common stock, $.0001 par value (the "Tek Common Stock"). Notwithstanding the
above, in the event that the market value of Tek Common Stock is equal to a
price that is $5.00 or more but less than $7.00, the Purchase Price shall be
adjusted to equal $16,000,000 with the result of such increase in the market
value being an adjustment in the number of Tek Preferred Stock shares
issuable to DSNC shareholders. In the event that the market value of Tek
Common Stock is equal to $7.00 or more the Purchase Price shall be adjusted
to equal $18,000,000 with the result of such increase in the market value
being an adjustment in the number of Tek Preferred Stock shares issuable to
DSNC shareholders. In the event that the market value of Tek Common Stock is
less than $2.00 per share the Agreement can be terminated by either Tek or
DSNC. The Merger is also subject to termination upon the mutual written
consent by the Board of Directors of Tek and DSNC.
5. Holders of Tek Preferred Stock shall be entitled, as detailed in the
Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Relative, Participating,
Optional, or Other Special Rights of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and
Qualifications, Limitations, and Restrictions Thereof of TekInsight.Com, Inc.
("Preferred Agreement"), to receive dividends in the same amount per share as
dividends paid to the holders of Tek Common Stock. As long as any shares of
Tek Preferred Stock are outstanding, no dividends shall be declared or paid
or set apart for payment of Tek Common Stock for any period unless dividends
in the same amount per share are paid to the holders of Tek Preferred Stock.
If Tek or Merger Sub shall commence the winding up, dissolution, or
liquidation of its affairs, no distributions shall be made to the holders of
any shares of capital stock of Tek unless holders of Tek Preferred Stock
shall have received the Liquidation Preference, as defined in the Preferred
Agreement. As defined in the Preferred Agreement, Tek Preferred Stock will
commence being convertible into Tek Common Stock on the first (1st)
anniversary of the Closing. Any shares of Tek Preferred Stock that have not
been converted to Tek Common Stock prior to the fifth (5th) anniversary of
the Closing will be mandatorily converted to Tek Common Stock, or redeemed
for a cash payment equal to the market value per share.
6. The market value will equal the average closing sale price for one share of
Tek Common Stock, as reported by the NASDAQ Smallcap Market, for the ten (10)
consecutive trading days ending on the trading day that immediately precedes
<PAGE>

the Closing; provided, that between the date of execution of the Agreement
and the Closing, all outstanding options and warrants to acquire DSNC Common
Stock that are exercisable prior to the Closing and which are not required to
be assumed by Tek as a result of the Merger, will either be exercised or will
be terminated on the Closing. To the extent that any such options or warrants
are exercised no less than three (3) days prior to the Closing, for purposes
of calculating the number of shares of Tek Preferred Stock to be issued to
DSNC stockholders, the aggregate exercise price will be added to the Purchase
Price (the "Adjusted Purchase Price") which now will be used in the Exchange
Ratio quotient. The Exchange Ratio of DSNC Common Stock to Tek Preferred
Stock will be adjusted by including the number of shares of DSNC Common Stock
acquired upon such exercise in the outstanding DSNC Common Stock.
7. Each share of DSNC Common Stock held by DSNC or owned by Merger Sub, Tek, or
any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of DSNC or of Tek immediately
prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled and extinguished without any
conversion. No fraction of a share of Tek Preferred Stock will be issued by
virtue of the Merger, but in lieu each holder of shares of DSNC Common Stock
who would otherwise be entitled to a fraction of a share of Tek Preferred
Stock shall receive from Tek an amount of cash equal to the product of (i)
such fraction, multiplied by (ii) the market value.
8. At the Effective Time, each outstanding stock option under the Option Plan,
as defined in the Agreement, shall be assumed by Tek. Each outstanding DSNC
option shall be converted into an option, which shall be deemed to be vested
as of the Effective Time, to purchase the same number of shares of Tek
Preferred Stock. The exercise price for each such converted outstanding DSNC
option shall be the quotient obtained by dividing the number of shares of
DSNC Common Stock that are issued and outstanding three (3) days prior to the
Closing which are converted at the Effective Time into one share of Tek
Preferred Stock in accordance with the Exchange Ratio. Shares issued pursuant
to options to purchase DSNC Common Stock under the Option Plan that are
exercised prior to the date that is three business days prior to the Closing
shall be converted into shares of Tek Preferred Stock in accordance to the
Exchange Ratio.

Farmington Hills, Michigan, we conducted interviews with management and other
personnel of the Company and Merger Sub and with representatives from Foothill

work, and no limitations were imposed by the Company, Tek, or Merger Sub in the
scope of our investigation.
In connection with this Opinion, we have made such reviews, studies, and

8. compared the financial ratios of the Company and Tek with those of a
portfolio of publicly traded guideline companies operating within similar
lines of business as the Company and Tek;
9. reviewed public filings and other information to gain insight into the
outlook for the industry and for the companies which operate within the
industry;
10. reviewed historical trading prices and volume levels for DSNC and Tek common
stock;
11. reviewed premiums paid over the public stock prices of companies acquired in
the computer networking and information technology industries since 1995;
12. reviewed the marketing process undertaken by the Company and its broker and

appropriate for the purpose of this Opinion.
In preparing its opinion, Valuation Counselors performed a variety of financial
and comparative analyses, including those described below. The summary of such
analyses does not purport to be a complete description of the analyses
underlying Valuation Counselors' opinion. The preparation of a fairness opinion
is a complex analytic process involving various determinations as to the most
appropriate and relevant methods of financial analyses and the application of
those methods to the particular circumstances and, therefore, such an opinion is
not readily susceptible to summary description. Accordingly, Valuation
Counselors believes that its analyses must be considered as a whole and that
selecting portions of its analyses and factors, without considering all analyses
and factors, could create a misleading or incomplete view of the processes
underlying such analyses and opinion. In its analyses, Valuation Counselors made
numerous assumptions with respect to DSNC, Tek, industry performance, general
business, economic, market, and financial conditions and other matters, many of
which are beyond the control of DSNC and Tek. The estimates contained in such
analyses and the valuation ranges resulting from any particular analysis are not
necessarily indicative of actual values or predictive of future results or
values, which may be significantly more or less favorable than those suggested
by such analyses. In addition, analyses relating to the value of businesses or
securities do not purport to be appraisals or to reflect the prices at which
businesses or securities actually may be sold. Accordingly, such analyses and
estimates are inherently subject to substantial uncertainty. Valuation
Counselors' opinion and analyses were only one of the many factors considered by
the Board of Directors of DSNC in its evaluation of the Merger and should not be

viewed as determinative of the views of the Board of Directors or management of
DSNC with respect to the Exchange Ratio or the proposed Merger.
Contribution Analysis:
Valuation Counselors analyzed the respective current contributions of DSNC and
Tek to the estimated revenue, EBITDA, and net income of the combined company.
This analysis indicated that (i) in fiscal 1999, DSNC would contribute
approximately 94.0% of revenue, 170.0% of EBDIT, and 50.4% of net income, and
(ii) Tek would contribute approximately 6.0% of revenue, -70.0% of EBDIT, and
49.6% of net income of the combined company.
Pro Forma Merger Analysis:
Valuation Counselors analyzed certain pro forma effects resulting from the
Merger, including, among other things, the impact of the Merger on Tek's
projected earnings per share ("EPS") for fiscal years 2000 through 2004 based,
in the case of DSNC, on internal estimates of the management of DSNC for fiscal
year 2000 and extrapolated for subsequent years based on management's growth
rate estimates and, in the case of Tek, on estimates of selected investment
banking firms for fiscal years 2000 through 2004 and extrapolated for subsequent
fiscal years based on analysts' growth estimates for Tek. The results of the pro
forma merger analysis suggested that the Merger could be accretive to Tek's EPS
in each of the fiscal years analyzed. The actual results achieved by the
combined company may vary from projected results and the variations may be
material.
Discounted Cash Flow Analysis:
Valuation Counselors performed a discounted cash flow analysis of the projected
debt-free net cash flow of DSNC for the fiscal years ending September 30, 2000
through 2004, partially based on internal estimates of the Company's management.
The indicated enterprise value was determined by adding the present value of the
projected debt-free net cash flows over the fiscal years 2000 through 2004 and
the present value of DSNC's estimated terminal value in 2004. The projected cash
flows and terminal value were discounted to present value using a discount rate
of 19%. This analysis yielded an enterprise value below the Purchase Price.
Publicly Traded Guideline Company Analysis:
Using publicly available information, Valuation Counselors analyzed the market
values and trading multiples of the following publicly traded guideline
companies: Tier Technologies, Inc., Microstrategy, Inc., Peregrine Systems,
Inc., Eltrax Systems, Inc., Socrates Technologies Corporation, Micros to
Mainframes, Inc., Osage Systems Group, Inc., and Government Technology Services,
Inc. As shown below, the indicated multiples based on the Purchase Price offered
for DSNC fall within the ranges of the guideline companies' market multiples but
below the median levels. Such a placement is warranted due to DSNC's smaller
<PAGE>

size, higher leverage, and inferior historical and projected growth rates in
comparison to the guideline companies.

industries. As detailed below, DSNC's multiples derived from the Purchase Price
fall within the range of the transacted companies' market multiples.

</TABLE>
Other Factors and Analysis:
In rendering the Opinion, Valuation Counselors also considered other factors
relevant to a valuation of DSNC. These factors included (i) the premiums paid in
acquisitions of companies in the computer networking and information technology
industries and (ii) other offers to purchase the Company's securities. The
Purchase Price equates to a 113.5% to 207.5% premium over the Company's pre
January 20, 2000 common stock share price. By comparison, between 1995 and 1999,
the premium paid for transacted companies within the computer networking and
information technology industries ranged between 13.0% and 81.4% with a median
of 57.0%. Given this as well as the Company's market presence the premium to
DSNC stockholders appears fair. Competing offers of expressions of interest were
received from Micros to Mainframes, Inc., Dyn Corporation, American United
Global, Inc., and Alydaar Software Corporation. With the exception of the
<PAGE>
Board of Directors
Data Systems Network Corporation
34705 West Twelve Mile Road, Suite 300
Farmington Hills, MI 48331
Page 9
Alydaar Software Corporation offer, all the competing offers were relayed
verbally to the Company's business broker. The Micros to Mainframes, Inc. offer
indicated to the Company's representative a value between $12 million and $13
million. The offer was declined due to business logistics and the fact that
Micros to Mainframes, Inc. was undergoing an assimilation of a recent
acquisition. The Dyn Corporation offer, also presented verbally, had a value
between $12 million to $13 million and was declined due to the use of privately
held stock as a portion of the purchase price. American United Global, Inc.
offered $12 million for the Company but the offer was declined since American
United Global, Inc. would have had to liquidate a subsidiary in order to finance
the acquisition. These offers compare to the Purchase Price range between
$12,500,000 and $18,000,000.
In formulating our conclusions from the above valuation approaches, we have
assumed:
1. continued operation of the Company, Tek, and Merger Sub at their present
facilities unless identified to us for disposal;
2. the properties will be competently managed and maintained by financially
sound owners over the period of projected cash flows; and
3. no additional financings, distributions, or acquisitions, other than those
specifically addressed in the Opinion, will occur during the projection
period.
Based upon our study and subject to the assumptions and limitations included
herein and in our engagement letter dated January 12, 2000, it is our opinion,
as of the date of this letter, that the Exchange Ratio as outlined above is
fair, from a financial point of view, to the shareholders of Data Systems
Network Corporation.
The Opinion, as set forth herein, relates to the relative values of DSNC and
Merger Sub. Valuation Counselors did not express any opinion as to what the
value of Tek Common Stock actually will be when issued to DSNC stockholders
pursuant to the Merger or the price at which the Tek Common Stock will trade
subsequent to the Merger. Although Valuation Counselors evaluated the Exchange
Ratio from a financial point of view, Valuation Counselors was not asked to and
did not recommend the specific consideration payable in the Merger, which was
determined through negotiation between DSNC and Tek.
The Opinion is for the confidential use of the Board of Directors of Data
Systems Network Corporation and is applicable only for the purpose stated
herein; any use or reliance for any other purpose, by you or third parties, is
invalid. We hereby consent to: (1) the filing and disclosure of the Opinion with
the Securities and Exchange Commission and any state securities commission or
blue sky authority, if such filing or disclosure is required pursuant to the
rules and regulations thereof, or required by applicable law in the opinion of
Data Systems Network Corporation counsel; and disclosure of the Opinion upon the
demand, order or request of any court, administrative or governmental agency or
regulatory body or as may be required or appropriate in response to any summons,
subpoena, or discovery requests. No other use or reference to the Opinion may be
made without the prior written consent of Valuation Counselors, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld.

February 18, 2000
Board of Directors
TekInsight.com, Inc.
5 Hanover Square - 24th Floor
New York, NY 10004
Attention: Mr. Damon Testaverde
Dear Sirs:
We understand that TekInsight.Com, Inc. (the "Company" or "TEKS"),
Astratek, Inc. ("Merger Co.") and Data Systems Network Corporation ("DSNC") have
entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, (the "Agreement"), whereby, among
other things, TEKS will acquire 100% of the capital stock of DSNC by the merger
of DSNC with Merger Co., a wholly-owned subsidiary of TEKS incorporated under
New York law. It is contemplated that DSNC will merge with MergerCo in a
statutory merger under New York law (the "Merger"), with MergerCo as the
surviving corporation of the Merger.
The Merger will become effective at the date and time of the filing by
the parties to the Agreement filing a Certificate of Merger with the Secretary
of State of the State of New York and the filing of a Certificate of Merger with
the Michigan Department of Consumer and Industry Services - Corporation;
Securities and Land Development Bureau (the "Effective Time"). At the Effective
Time and subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement and the applicable
provisions of New York Law and Michigan Law, DSNC shall be merged with and into
Merger Co., the separate corporate existence of DSNC shall cease and MergerCo
shall continue as the surviving corporation. As consideration for the Merger
(the "Merger Consideration"), subject to the provisions contained in the
Agreement, all outstanding shares of DSNC capital stock will be exchanged for
that number of shares of a newly-created series of TEKS preferred stock (the
"Series A Preferred Stock") that is equal to that number of shares of TEKS
common stock having a market value at Merger closing of $12,500,000 (the
"Purchase Price"). The market value of TEKS common stock at Merger closing will
be equal to the average closing price for TEKS common stock, as reported by the
Nasdaq Smallcap Market, for the ten (10) consecutive trading days ending on the
trading day that immediately precedes the closing date of the Merger (the
"Average Price"). In the event that the Average Price is equal to a price that
is $5.00 or more but less than $7.00, the Purchase Price shall be adjusted to
equal $16,000,000 (the "First Increased Purchase Price"); and in the event that
the Average Price is equal to $7.00 or more, the Purchase Price shall be
adjusted to equal $18,000,000 (the "Second Increased Price"). As a result of any
such increase in the Average Price, the number of Series A Preferred Stock
shares issuable to DSNC shareholders shall be proportionately increased per the
terms of the Agreement.
You have requested our opinion, as financial advisors, as to the
fairness of the Merger Consideration, from a financial point of view, to the
Company.

In addition, we have reviewed available industry and market research
pertaining to TEKS' operations and various assets.
In rendering our opinion, we have conducted on site due diligence and
held discussions with certain officers, employees and representatives (including
counsel) of the Company and DSNC, respectively, concerning the business and
operations, assets, present condition and future prospects of the Company and
DSNC and undertook such other studies, analyses and investigations as we have
deemed appropriate.
<PAGE>
In arriving at our opinion, we have assumed and relied upon the
accuracy and completeness of the financial and other information supplied to or
otherwise used by us in arriving at our opinion and have not attempted
independently to verify such information. We have not assumed any responsibility
for the independent verification of any such information or projections provided
to us and we have further relied upon the assurance of the management of the
Company and DSNC that they are unaware of any facts that would make the
information or projections provided to us incomplete or misleading. In arriving
at our opinion, we have not performed or obtained any independent appraisal of
the Company's or DSNC's assets or liabilities. We have also assumed that the
transactions described in the Agreement, and related Letter Agreement, would be
consummated on the terms set forth therein, without waiver of any such terms.
We have assumed, with the consent of the Company and DSNC, that the
Merger will comply with applicable federal and state laws, including, without
limitation laws relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent
conveyance, fraudulent transfer or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect
affecting creditors' rights generally.
As part of our professional services, we are regularly engaged in the
valuation of businesses and securities in connection with mergers, acquisitions,
leveraged buyouts, sales of unlisted securities, and valuations for estate,
corporate and other purposes. We have also taken into account our assessment of
general economic, market and financial conditions and our experience in similar
transactions, as well as our experience in securities valuation in general. Our
opinion necessarily is based upon conditions as they exist and can be evaluated
on the date hereof. Subsequent developments may affect this opinion, and we
disclaim any obligation to update, revise or reaffirm this opinion.
This letter and our opinion as expressed herein are for the benefit and
use of the Board of Directors of the Company in its consideration of the Merger.
The Board of Directors of the Company may rely upon this opinion with respect to
the Merger. This letter does not constitute a recommendation of the Merger over
any other alternative transactions which may be available to the Company and
does not address the underlying business decision of the Board of Directors of
the Company to proceed with or effect the Merger. In addition, in rendering this
opinion, we do not express any view as to the prices at which the Company's
securities may trade prior to or following the Merger. This letter does not
constitute a recommendation by our firm to any particular member of the Board of
Directors or to any stockholder as to how such member or stockholder should vote
in connection with the Merger. We understand that this Opinion will be filed
with the SEC and distributed to DSNC stockholders as part of a Proxy Statement
relating to the Merger. We hereby consent to the foregoing use of this letter.
Otherwise, this letter and the contents hereof may not be published,
disseminated, referred to, summarized, described or otherwise used, nor shall
any public reference to Valuemetrics, Inc. be made, without our prior written
consent (except in documents or communications filed with the SEC and NASDAQ,
including any proxy statements). As you are aware, we will receive a fee for our
services to the Board of Directors in connection with rendering this opinion,
and the Company has indemnified Valuemetrics for certain liabilities arising out
of this engagement including those which result, under certain circumstances,
from the rendering of this opinion.
<PAGE>
Based upon and subject to the foregoing, it is our opinion that, as of
the date hereof, the Merger Consideration to be paid under the terms of the
Agreement and in connection with the Merger is fair, from a financial point of
view, to the Company.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Valuemetrics, Inc.

PART II
INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
ITEM 20. INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS
ARTICLE SEVENTH of the certificate of incorporation of the registrant
eliminates the personal liability of directors to the registrant or its
shareholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director;
provided, however, that such elimination of the personal liability of a director
of the registrant does not apply to (i) any breach of the director's duty of
loyalty to the registrant or its shareholders, including, but not limited to,
any appropriation, in violation of his duties, of any business opportunity of
the registrant, (ii) acts or omissions which involve intentional misconduct or a
knowing violation of law, (iii) actions prohibited under Section 174 of the
Delaware General Corporation Law (i.e., liabilities imposed upon directors who
vote for or assent to the unlawful payment of dividends, unlawful repurchases or
redemption of stock, unlawful distribution of assets of the registrant to the
Shareholders without the prior payment or discharge of the registrant's debts or
obligations, or unlawful making or guaranteeing of loans to directors), or (iv)
any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. In
addition, Article Ninth of the registrant's certificate of incorporation, as
amended, provides that the registrant shall indemnify its corporate personnel,
directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General
Corporation Law, as amended.
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a
corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to
be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or
proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than
an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that he
is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or
was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee
or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and
amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection
with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner
he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The termination of any
action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a
plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a
presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had
reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.
Section 145 further provides that a corporation may indemnify a person
who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened,
pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to
procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a
director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at
the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of
another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise
against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by
him in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he
acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not
opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and except that no
indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to
which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation
unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which
such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite
the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case,
such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses
which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper. To the extent
that a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation has been successful
on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred
to above, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be
indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably
incurred by him in connection therewith.

ITEM 22. UNDERTAKINGS
(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of
the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising
after the effective date of the registration statement (or the
most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which,
individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental
change in the information set forth in the registration
statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or
decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar
value of securities offered would not exceed that which was
registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the
estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form
of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if,
in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no
more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering
price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table
in the effective registration statement;
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the
plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the
registration statement or any material change to such
information in the registration statement;
Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) of this
section do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3,
Form S-8 or Form F-3, and the information required to be included
in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in
periodic reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the
registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the
registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be
deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at
that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
thereof.
<PAGE>
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
amendment any of the securities being registered which remain
unsold at the termination of the offering.
(4) If the registrant is a foreign private issuer, to file a
post-effective amendment to the registration statement to include
any financial statements required by ss. 210.3-19 of this chapter
at the start of any delayed offering or throughout a continuous
offering. Financial statements and information otherwise required
by Section 10(a)(3) of the Act need not be furnished, provided that
the registrant includes in the prospectus, by means of a
post-effective amendment, financial statements required pursuant to
this paragraph (a)(4) and other information necessary to ensure
that all other information in the prospectus is at least as current
as the date of those financial statements. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, with respect to registration statements on Form F-3, a
post-effective amendment need not be filed to include financial
statements and information required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Act
or ss.210.3-19 of this chapter if such financial statements and
information are contained in periodic reports filed with or
furnished to the SEC by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or
Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are
incorporated by reference on Form F-3.
(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that insofar as
indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended may be permitted to directors, officers and
controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing
provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in
the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act
and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by
the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer
or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense
of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director,
officer or controlling person in connection with the securities
being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its
counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in
the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.
(c) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities
Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus
filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule
430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant
pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities
Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of
the time it was declared effective.
(2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains
a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration
statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the
initial bona fide offering thereof.
(d) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to supply by means of
a post-effective amendment all information concerning a
transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein, that
was not the subject of and included in the registration statement
when it became effective.
