                              PART I


Item 1.  Description of Business
--------------------------------
(a)     Business Development.
     ------------------------
     Data National Corporation (the Company) was formed under the laws of the 
State of Colorado in November 1982.  On March 23, 1987, the Company acquired, 
through an exchange of its common stock, 97.8% of the outstanding common stock 
of Data National Inc. (DNI).  DNI is a holding company and owns 100% of the 
shares Service Business Systems, Inc. (SBS) and National COM-LINK Systems, 
Inc. (NCL).  DNI acquired all of the common stock of SBS and NCL in June of 
1986.  The Company acts as a holding company for DNI and its subsidiaries and 
coordinates their activities.

     SBS is the only active entity, although, NCL receives royalties from 
licensing a trademarked name and, in 1996, recognized revenue that was 
previously deferred as a result of the termination of a contract for the sale 
of hardware and software products.

(b)     Business of Registrant.
       -----------------------
     Principal Products and Services
     -------------------------------
     The Company derives revenues from products and services provided by its 
subsidiary, SBS, which is the only operating subsidiary.  Since inception, SBS 
has provided database marketing services to the automotive industry (service 
stations of major oil companies and independent auto repair facilities).  
These clients accounted for 88% and 100% of its revenues in fiscal 1996 and 
fiscal 1995, respectively.  In fiscal 1996, SBS began expanding its client 
base to include auto dealerships and customers in the financial services 
industry.  SBS is continuing to expand into other industries and has signed 
contracts to provide services to the entertainment industry.

     By utilizing proprietary software developed for internal use, SBS 
analyzes a client's customer database to develop segmentation profiles of 
their customers. By developing a better understanding of who their customer is 
and what their needs and expectations are, SBS assists its clients in 
attempting to improve their business performance.

     Once these customer segmentation profiles are developed, SBS develops 
customer-centric programs to assist clients in enhancing customer loyalty, 
attracting new customers and increasing customer retention.

     The following are some examples of programs which have been developed by 
SBS:

     Existing Customer Programs
     --------------------------
     -     Thank you cards
     -     Service reminders for the automotive market (tune-ups, oil changes, 
           etc.)
     -     Safety reminders for the automotive market (brakes, tires, shocks, 
           etc.)
     -     Holiday Greeting Cards
     -     Point of sale coupons
     -     Customer surveys
     -     Newsletters
     -     Preferred customer programs, including membership cards, and Coupon 
           books
     -     Telephone surveys

     New Customer Programs
     ---------------------
     -     Promotions targeted to new residents and other customers matching 
           the segmentation profile in the client's market area.
     -     Informational mailings (i.e., interest rate updates on real estate 
           trends) to targeted customers
     -     Referral request programs

     SBS also implements these programs for clients by maintaining and 
managing the customer's database, selecting target customers for the various 
programs and mailing the materials on the client's behalf.  SBS can also 

                            -2-
<PAGE>

assist clients by obtaining names of potential customers from outside sources 
which match the client's current segmentation profile.


     SBS also generates sales by providing artistic and graphic design 
services used in developing these programs and facilitating the printing of 
the marketing materials to be used in the customer specific marketing program.

     SBS expanded its customer base in fiscal 1996 with the addition of 
commonly controlled auto dealerships and a mortgage loan origination company.  
The Company has signed a contract with a company in the entertainment business 
and will provide services to it in fiscal 1997. 

     Employees
     ---------
     SBS employs all of the employees of the Company.  As of September 30, 
1996, SBS had 32 full-time employees working in the office of the Company.  In 
addition, SBS had 15 employees for coding and inputting the information 
received from repair facilities into the SBS computer system, some of whom are 
part-time.  These employees are home based.

     Status of Products
     ------------------
     The Autotrac® system requires customer information to be input into 
the database maintained by SBS.  The information is either input by the SBS 
home-based computer operators or downloaded directly from the subscriber's 
computer.   The information is processed by the proprietary software developed 
by SBS, and the database for the customer is updated.  Notices are printed and 
mailed to the customers in the database.  The  Autotrac® system uses a 
Novell network that includes PC equipment.  The system also includes three 
production printers.  In addition, SBS has numerous PC work stations for use 
by the account executives and data entry personnel.  Management of SBS 
believes this equipment, supplemented by additions in fiscal 1997 estimated at 
$190,000 (including an estimated $70,000 of additional computer software 
development costs), will permit SBS to handle all of its present and 
foreseeable data processing needs through, at least, September 30, 1997.  

     Sources and Availability of Raw Materials
     -----------------------------------------
     The Company has experienced no significant difficulty with the delivery 
and availability of supplies that it sells to its customers, and no difficulty 
is forecast for the immediate future.

     Patents, Licenses, Franchises, Concessions, Etc.
     ------------------------------------------------
     The Company has no patent protection for its existing products that the 
Company considers to be proprietary items.  Except in unusual circumstances, 
which do not apply to the Company, computer software is generally not 
patentable, but is protected by copyright and trade secret laws, as well as 
contractual and nondisclosure provisions of the Company's licensing 
agreements.

     Seasonality
     -----------
     SBS sells holiday greeting cards in the first quarter of the fiscal year 
ending September 30.  This program has resulted in seasonal sales of $228,243 
and $223,962 for the years ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  
The increased sales and resulting net income for the first quarter of the year 
is material to the operations of the Company  There are no other seasonal 
factors to the Company's business.

     Dependence Upon Small Number of Customers
     -----------------------------------------
     The business of SBS is very dependent upon a few major customers; the 
loss of any one or more of these customers could have a material adverse 
effect on the business and operations of the Company.  During the fiscal year 
ended September 30, 1996, major customers represented approximately the 
following percentage of the SBS gross revenues:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
         <S>                    <C>  <C>    
          Sun Company, Inc.      -    40.0%
          Mobil Oil Corporation  -    12.4%
          Amoco Oil Company      -    10.8%
</TABLE>
     Under the Sun contract, SBS provides the Autotrac system to over 300 
automotive repair locations under the Sun "Ultra Service Center" program.  SBS 
provides other services to Sun, including holiday greeting cards, new 
residence programs, cashier handouts, and customer surveys.  The other 
services are determined at a regional level, as all of the repair locations 
under the corporate contract for Autotrac do not participate in all of the 

                            -3-
<PAGE>


programs.  The term of the contract is generally for twelve months, and the 
current contract is scheduled to expire in July of 1997, at which time it will 
be renegotiated.  The contract is signed by Sun on behalf of the dealers, who 
are independent business owners.  Sun invoices the dealers for the SBS fees, 
which are included in their franchise fees.  The payment terms are net 30 
days.

     SBS also provides the Autotrac system to approximately 100 automotive 
repair locations for Mobil under the Mobil "Car Care" program.  SBS provides 
other services to Mobil, including customer surveys and holiday greeting 
cards.  The term of this contract is for three years, with the current 
contract expiring on December 31, 1998.  There is a 180 day cancellation 
provision.  Mobil bills the dealers for the SBS fees, which are included in 
their franchise fees.  The payment terms are net 30 days.

     SBS provides the Autotrac system to approximately 75 automotive repair 
locations for Amoco under the Amoco "Certicare" program and other programs.  
SBS provides other services to Amoco.  There are approximately six Amoco 
districts that have contracted with SBS for services, and each district has 
its own contract, which is generally on a month to month basis.  In addition 
to the SBS services, Amoco also contracted with NCL for computer software and 
hardware.  This contract was terminated in fiscal 1996, and NCL recognized the 
revenue which had previously been deferred.

     Competition
     -----------
     SBS believes that there are approximately 20 companies competing directly 
with it in the automotive aftermarket business.  Most of the competitors are 
small companies like SBS with none of them having a market share of more than 
20%.  However, the largest competitor is Moore/BCS, a division of Moore 
Business Forms in Toronto, Canada, a billion dollar conglomerate.  Another 
large competitor is IDS, a division of AON Insurance Company, based in 
Chicago.  Mailmark, Inc., based in Canoga Park, California, is a direct 
marketing/data processing company, which provides a specialized service 
reminder/customer contact program for the automotive industry.  Other 
companies like Reynolds and Reynolds, Brandt Contact Services, Computer Care, 
and InteliMail are known competitors.

     SBS believes it can effectively compete with these companies.  SBS 
provides valuable data and marketing strategies in addition to providing the 
mailing services.  SBS manages large databases for automotive businesses, and 
provides marketing, creative, and customer-centric contact services.  SBS also 
provides management reports to assist its customers in managing their 
businesses and contacting their customers.

     SBS markets its services to the automotive aftermarket by becoming an 
approved vendor through contacts made at the corporate level of oil companies 
and automotive repair centers.  SBS has three sales people making calls on 
potential customers.  Some of the customers are contacted though telephone 
sales.  SBS also employs customer service representatives that sell products 
to existing customers in addition to providing customer service.  SBS also has 
one employee devoted to market research and development of new products for 
new and existing markets.

     In fiscal 1996, SBS expanded its marketing and sales efforts into new 
markets, as follows:

Automotive Dealerships - in Colorado and California
----------------------
Financial Services - specifically the mortgage loan business in Colorado.
------------------
Entertainment - specifically the gaming industry in Colorado.
-------------
     The president of the Company has directed the sales efforts into the new 
markets with assistance from the sales personnel and the director of 
marketing.

     Research and Development Expenditures
     -------------------------------------
     Although no costs were classified as research and development during each 
of the past two fiscal years, SBS expends considerable effort for software 
improvements on an annual basis.  Such effort is a necessary element for 
maintaining the competitiveness of its software modules, and such costs are 
recorded as normal operating expenses.

     SBS is developing a proprietary database application as the basis for its 
core business functions.  SBS has capitalized $169,977 in 1996 as deferred 
computer software development costs.  The costs deferred include the costs of 
outside consultants and salary and benefit costs of programmers hired upon 
completion of the design phase, to complete the programming of this software.  
Upon completion of the software, these costs will be amortized using the 
straight-line method over a useful life of 3 years.


                                -4-
<PAGE>

     Governmental Regulation and Compliance
     --------------------------------------
     There are no governmental regulations pertinent to operations that would 
differ from those applicable to any small manufacturer.  There is no need for 
government approval of the Company's products.  Any costs or effects of 
compliance with environmental laws are de minimis.


Item 2.  Description of Property
--------------------------------
     The Company occupies office space under one 3-year lease that expires in 
February 1999 and requires an aggregate monthly payment of $3,805.  This 
amount includes $3,354 as base rent and $451 for tenant finish.


Item 3.  Legal Proceedings
--------------------------          
     There are no legal proceedings to report.


Item 4.  Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
------------------------------------------------------------
     On September 30, 1996, the Company held its Annual Meeting of 
Shareholders.

     At the subject annual meeting, Richard S. Simms, Ray E. Dillon III and 
Donald V. Warriner were elected to serve as directors of the Company until the 
next Annual Meeting of Shareholders or until their earlier death,  resignation 
or removal.  There are no other directors whose term of office as a director 
continued after the date of the subject meeting.

     The following matters were voted upon at the subject meeting:

(2)      The shareholders approved a reverse stock split whereby one new share 
of the Company's Common Stock was issued in exchange for each 400 shares of 
the Company's then currently outstanding Common Stock.  To the extent that 
this reverse stock split resulted in any shareholder owning less than a single 
full share of the Company's Common Stock, the Company agreed to pay cash for 
each such fractional share in an amount equal to the appropriate fraction of 
$.40 per whole share (which represented the fair value of a whole share 
after the consummation of the proposed reverse stock split as determined 
by the Company's Board of Directors).

Incorporation to reduce its authorized capital from 600,000,000 shares of

ended September 30, 1996.

(5)      In connection with such meeting, the Company did not enter into any 
settlement arrangement with any person terminating any solicitation subject to 
Rule 14a-11 of Regulation 14A promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 
1934.


                             PART II

Item 5.  Market for Company's Common Equity and Related Shareholder Matters
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(a)     Market Information.
     ---------------------
     The Company's common stock has not been traded on the over-the-counter 
market.  Because of the lack of any viable trading market for the Company's 
securities, no accurate market information is currently available.

(b)     Holders
     ----------
          The number of holders of record of the Company's $.001 par value 
common stock at September 30, 1996, was approximately 320, after giving effect 
to the Company's 400 to 1 reverse stock split.

(c)     Dividends
     ------------
     Holders of common stock are entitled to receive such dividends as may be 
declared by the Company's Board of Directors.  No dividends have been paid 
with respect to the Company's common stock and no dividends are anticipated to 
be paid in the foreseeable future.

Item 6.  ManagementÕs Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Year Ended September 30, 1996 as Compared to the Year Ended September 30, 1995
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
     Revenue for the year ended September 30, 1996 was $2,666,148 compared to 
$2,369,096 for the year ended September 30, 1995.  Almost all of the revenue 
for the Company is generated by SBS, with the exception of licensing revenue 
recorded by NCL in the amount of $10,000 for fiscal 1996 and $20,000 for 
fiscal 1995.  In addition, NCL recorded revenue in fiscal 1996 in the amount 
of $120,486 as a result of termination of a contract for hardware and software 
that was entered into in 1987.  The Company fulfilled its obligation under the 
contract and has recognized the revenue that had previously been deferred. The 
increase in revenue is primarily attributable to increased sales to new SBS 
customers in new markets.  Revenue from automotive dealerships amounted to 
$103,742 and revenue from the mortgage loan business amounted to $113,709 in 
fiscal 1996.

     As of September 30, 1996 the Company had negative working capital of 
$15,302.  SBS sells holiday greeting cards in the first quarter of its fiscal 
year ending September 30.  This program resulted in seasonal sales of $228,243 
and $223,962 for the years ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  
The increased sales, resulting net income and increase in cash flow for the 
first quarter of the year is material to the operations and cash flow of the 
Company.  There are no other seasonal factors to the Company's business.

     Cost of goods sold as a percentage of revenue amounted to 50% and 53% in 
fiscal 1996 and fiscal 1995, respectively.  The cost of goods sold was lower 
as a percentage of revenue in fiscal 1996 due to the recognition of the 
revenue in NCL that had previously been deferred, and the fact that there were 
no cost of goods sold associated with the revenue recognized.  Excluding this 
additional revenue, cost of goods sold as a percentage of revenue for fiscal 
1996 was 52%.

     Selling and marketing expenses increased to $453,928, or 17% of revenue, 
in fiscal 1996 from $366,290, or 15% of revenue, in fiscal 1995.  The dollar 
increase is primarily due to additional sales and marketing personnel used to 

                           -6-
<PAGE>

penetrate the new markets and existing markets.  There were also expenses of 
producing additional sales and marketing material, including brochures and a 
marketing video.

     General and administrative expenses increased to $761,255, or 29% of 
revenue, in fiscal 1996 from $575,808, or 25% of revenue, in fiscal 1995.  The 
absolute dollar increase in the amount of $185,477 is primarily due to an 
increase of approximately $100,000 in the information technology department of 
the Company, an increase of approximately $70,000 in executive salaries, 
including $31,200 in a stock bonuses, an increase of approximately $23,000 in 
rent and other operating expenses, and an increase of $20,000 in legal fees 
associated with updating the Company's filings with the Securities and 
Exchange Commission and legal fees associated with the shareholders meeting of 
the Company.  The increase in information technology reflects the commitment 
to upgrade the information systems and improve the products offered by SBS.

     Interest expense increased from $88,793 in fiscal 1995 to $95,546 in 
fiscal 1996.  The increase was due to additional equipment purchased by SBS 
under financing lease arrangements.  Interest to related parties amounted to 
$83,988 in fiscal 1996 and $88,698 in fiscal 1995.

     The Company did not record any income tax expense due to the utilization 
of net operating loss carryforwards for income tax purposes.

Year Ended September 30, 1995 as Compared to the Year Ended September 30, 1994
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
     For the year ended September 30, 1995, the nature of the Company's 
operations was unchanged and focused on providing marketing services to repair 
facilities and similar entities, nationally.  One major customer accounted for 
40% of net sales in fiscal 1995, as compared to 41% in fiscal 1994. Another 
customer accounted for 18% of net sales in fiscal 1995, as compared to 12% in 
fiscal 1994.  One other group of customers, affiliated with a national oil 
company, on an aggregate basis, constituted 12% of net sales in fiscal 1995 
but did not exceed 10% in fiscal 1994.  However, this group of customers is 
not subject to the same contractual relationship as the other two major 
customers discussed above and presumably subjects the Company to less risk of 
loss of the customers.

     Sales were essentially unchanged in fiscal 1995 as compared to fiscal 
1994.  Cost of sales increased from 51% of sales in fiscal 1994 to 53% in 
fiscal 1995, primarily because production salaries increased by approximately 
$45,000 as new positions were created.  The other components of cost of sales 
(postage and materials) remained constant as a percentage of sales (22% in 
fiscal 1995 and fiscal 1994 for postage, and 7% in fiscal 1995 and fiscal 1994 
for materials).

     Selling and marketing expenses decreased by $55,682, or 13%, in fiscal 
1995.  The decrease resulted primarily from the elimination of certain 
consulting fees, approximately $18,000 to an independent party and $12,000 to 
a member of the Board of Directors.  Such services are now provided by the 
Company's staff.  Other changes that resulted in cost reduction included not 
attending trade shows of two major customers, which occur biannually, and 
termination of employment of the Company president in July, which reduced 
travel and related expenses.

     General and administrative expenses increased by $36,694, or 7%, in 
fiscal 1995.  Executive salaries increased approximately $14,000 because of an 
increase in salary for the former president and the employment of a Chief 
Operating Officer in July 1995.  Administrative salaries also increased by 
approximately $10,500, a result of raises for existing employees and 
employment of additional clerical staff.  There were no other significant 
changes in individual expense accounts.

     Interest expense amounted to $88,793 in fiscal 1995 and $95,284 in fiscal 
1994.  The interest expense was substantially all payable to related parties. 
Interest payable to related parties amounted to $88,698 and $91,358 in fiscal 
1995 and fiscal 1994 respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
-------------------------------
In fiscal 1996, cash and cash equivalents decreased by $86,918.  The Company 
utilized $542 of cash for operating activities in fiscal 1996.  The Company 
used $196,376 of cash for the acquisition of equipment and development of the 
Company's proprietary software for internal use.

The Company refinanced its note payable to related parties in January of 
1996.  Under the terms of the note, the Company is to pay interest at the rate 
of 10% per annum and the principal and interest is due on October 1, 2001.  
The principal amount of the note as of January 1, 1996 was $677,000 plus 
accrued interest on prior indebtedness in the amount of $192,072.  In May of 
1996 the related parties sold $93,600 of their note to certain officers of the 
Company.  The officers exchanged the notes for common stock.  In July of 1996 

                            -7-
<PAGE>



the related parties sold $32,000 of their note to an officer of the Company 
who exchanged the note for common stock.  As of September 30, 1996, the 
balance of the note is $743,472.  The note is secured by all of the assets of 
the Company and its subsidiaries.

SBS had borrowed $155,000 as of September 30, 1996 from related parties to 
finance the Company's operations and capital investments.  These borrowings 
have been made on a short term basis until the Company is able to secure a 
revolving loan facility.  SBS also entered into capital leases to finance the 
acquisition of $254,864 of equipment.

The Company's principal source of liquidity includes cash and cash equivalents 
on hand of $4,441 at September 30, 1996 and cash provided by its operations.  

The Company supplements its available cash and cash equivalents by additional 
equity and debt financing to fund anticipated expansion and to finance the 
Company's operations and capital investment needs.  On January 3, 1997, the 
Company closed on a $500,000 revolving loan facility with Norwest Business 
Credit.  Under the terms of the facility, the Company and SBS pledged all of 
their assets to collateralize the financing.  The line of credit bears an 
interest rate of 5% over Norwest's prime lending rate.  Advances under the 
facility are limited to 80% of the eligible receivables.  As a condition of 
the financing, the related parties subordinated their debt to Norwest.

As of January 8, 1997, Norwest had not funded the facility.  When the facility 
is funded, which is anticipated to be no later than January 15, 1997, short 
term advances made by related parties to SBS to finance the short term needs 
of SBS will be repaid.  Any remaining funds available after repayment will be 
used for operations.

In December of 1996 the Company commenced a private placement of its common 
stock.  Under the terms of the offering, the Company expects to raise a 
minimum of $200,000 and a maximum of $1,000,000.  As of January 3, 1997 the 
Company had received $50,000 in cash and an additional $150,000 from the 
related parties in the form of a reduction of the $737,472 note payable to the 
related parties.  There can be no assurance, however, that additional funds 
will be raised.

           Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

                September 30, 1996 and 1995


(1)     Organization, Operations, and Significant Accounting Policies
---------------------------------------------------------------------
     Organization and Operations
     ---------------------------
Data National Corporation (DNC) was incorporated under the laws of the State 
of Colorado on November 5, 1982. On March 23, 1987, the Company acquired, 
through an exchange of its common stock, 97.8% of the outstanding common stock 
of Data National Inc. (DNI).  DNI is a holding company and owns 100% of the 
shares Service Business Systems, Inc. (SBS) and National COM-LINK Systems, 
Inc. (NCL).  DNI acquired all of the common stock of SBS and NCL in June of 
1986.  The Company acts as a holding company for DNI and its subsidiaries and 
coordinates their activities.

NCL receives royalties from licensing a trademarked name and, in 1996, 
recognized revenue that was previously deferred as a result of the termination 
of a contract for the sale of hardware and software products.

The Company derives revenue from products and services provided by its 
subsidiary, Service Business Systems (SBS), which is the Company's only 
operating subsidiary.  Since inception, SBS has provided database marketing 
services to the automotive industry (service stations of major oil companies 
and independent auto repair facilities).  These clients accounted for 88% and 
100% of the Company's net sales in fiscal 1996 and fiscal 1995, respectively.  
In fiscal 1996, SBS began expanding its client base to include auto 
dealerships and customers in the financial services industry.

     Principles of Consolidation
     ---------------------------
     The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company 
and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.  All intercompany accounts and transactions 
are eliminated in consolidation.

     Use of Estimates
     ----------------
     Preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted 
accounting principles requires the use of estimates.

     Cash Equivalents
     ----------------
     The Company considers investments with an original maturity of three 
months or less to be cash equivalents.

     Inventory
     ---------
     Inventory consists of card stock and is carried at cost determined on a 
first-in-first-out basis.

     Property and Equipment
     ----------------------

     Property and equipment is stated at cost, and is depreciated over useful 
lives ranging from 5 to 7 years, primarily using the straight-line method.

     Deferred Computer Software Development Costs
     --------------------------------------------
The Company is developing a proprietary database application as the basis for 
its core business functions.  The Company has capitalized $169,977 in fiscal 
1996 as deferred computer software development costs.  The costs deferred 
include the costs of outside consultants and salary and benefit costs of 
programmers hired upon completion of the design phase, to complete the 

                          -15-
<PAGE>

programming of this software.  Upon completion of the software, these costs 
will be amortized using the straight-line method over a useful life of 3 
years.

     Deferred Revenue
     ----------------
     Prepayments for products are recorded as deferred revenue until the 
product is delivered.

     Reverse Stock Split
     -------------------
All share amounts, share prices, and per share amounts have been adjusted to 
give effect to a 400 to 1 reverse stock split that was effective on September 
30, 1996.

     Sales and Credit Risk
     ---------------------
     Sales are recognized upon completion of services or mailing of marketing 
materials, as applicable.

     Sales are made by extending credit to customers on a short-term basis, 
using informal credit evaluations, and are on an uncollateralized basis.

     Advertising
     -----------
     The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred.  Such costs amounted 
to $10,415 and $6,001 in fiscal 1996 and fiscal 1995, respectively.

     Income Taxes
     ------------
     The Company utilizes the asset and liability method of accounting for 
income taxes, as prescribed by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 
109 (SFAS 109).  Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are 
recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between 
the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities 
and their respective tax bases.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are 
measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply in the years in which these 
temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  Changes in tax 
rates are recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

     Net Earnings Per Share of Common Stock
     --------------------------------------
     Net earnings per share has been computed based on the weighted average 
number of common shares outstanding during the year.  


(2)     Related Party Transactions
----------------------------------
     Short-Term Borrowings - Related Parties
     ---------------------------------------
     The Company has borrowed funds to meet short-term working capital needs 
from two of its shareholders.  Interest on the unpaid balance is at the rate 
of 10% per annum.  The principal balance is payable when the Company enters 
into a line of credit agreement with a bank.

     Note Payable to Related Parties
     -------------------------------
     The Company refinanced certain existing indebtedness to two shareholders 
on January 10, 1996. One of the shareholders is now Chairman of the Board of 
Directors and owns or controls 206,299 shares of the Company's common stock.  
The principal amount of the note is $743,472, including accrued interest on 
prior indebtedness of $192,072, with interest at 10%, due on or before October 
1, 2001.  The note is secured by inventory; trade receivables; the right to 
the name, "Data National Corporation," and related trademarks, licensing 
agreements, patents, and similar rights; bank accounts; and the stock of DNI 
and all of its subsidiary corporations.  Interest expense on the related party 
note amounted to $81,980 and $87,443 in fiscal 1996 and fiscal 1995, 
respectively.


                            -16-
<PAGE>
     Purchase of Note Payable to Related Parties and Exchange of Note for 
     --------------------------------------------------------------------
     Common Stock
     ------------
     On May 15, 1996, three officers of the Company purchased $93,600 of the 
note payable to related parties from the related parties in exchange for notes 
payable to related parties from the officers.  The officers exchanged the 
notes for 390,000 shares of common stock at a price of $0.24 per share.

     On July 31, 1996, the Chief Financial Officer of the Company purchased 
$32,000 of the note payable to related parties from the related parties in 
exchange for a note payable to the related parties from the officer. The Chief 
Financial Officer exchanged the note to exercise a warrant to purchase 160,000 
shares of common stock of the Company at a price of $0.20 per share.

     Compensation to Related Party
     -----------------------------
     A member of the Board of Directors received $3,000 per month for 8 months 
in fiscal 1995 for consulting services.  Additionally, a company that he 
controls was indebted to the Company in the amount of $2,924 at September 30, 
1995.  At September 30, 1995, the Company was indebted to this individual for 
$3,000.

     Lease Payments to Related Party
     -------------------------------
     The son of the Chief Financial Officer leased equipment to the Company 
under three capital leases, which are summarized in Note 4.  All of these 
leases were paid in full as of September 30, 1996.

Certain restrictions have been placed on the transfer of these shares and 
lapse with respect to one-third of the shares each August 1 during each of the 
three consecutive calendar years beginning on August 1, 1996.  The 
restrictions lapse if the officer is an employee on August 1, and has not had 
a break in service.  Restrictions also lapse upon one of the following 
events:  sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, 
officer's death, permanent total disability or retirement or, the Board

the Company at the original purchase price.

Financial Disclosure

     In June of 1994 the Company reported a change in its independent 
accountant.  The firm of Miller and McCollom had performed the last audit of 
the Company's consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 1989, and 
for the year then ended.  There were no reportable disagreements with that 
firm, and its report for 1989 was qualified regarding the Company's ability to 
continue as a going concern.

     The Company engaged the firm of William G. Lajoie, P.C., to audit its 
consolidated financial statements for the years ending September 30, 1993, 
1994, and 1995.  There were no reportable disagreements with that firm, and 
its reports for 1993, 1994, and 1995 were unqualified.

     In 1996, the Company engaged the firm of KPMG Peat Marwick LLP to audit 
its consolidated financial statements for the year ended September 30, 1996.

     These actions were approved by the Company's Board of Directors.

Item 12.  Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
--------------------------------------------------------
     No director or executive officer of the Company, nominee for election as 
a director, security holder who is known to the Company to own of record or 
beneficially more than 5% of any class of the Company's voting securities, or 
any member of the immediate family of any such persons, has had any 
transaction or series of similar transactions, during the Company's last two 
fiscal years, or had any currently proposed transaction, or series of similar 
transactions, to which the Company was or is to be a party, in which the 
amount involved exceeds $60,000 or in which any of such persons had or will 
have any direct or indirect material interest, except as follows:

     The Company refinanced certain existing indebtedness to Ray E. Dillon, 
Jr. And Ray E. Dillon, III (father and son), (the "Dillon note"), in January, 
1996.  Ray E. Dillon III is now Chairman of the Board of Directors and owns 
and controls 206,299 shares of the Company's common stock.  The principal 
amount of the note was $677,000, with interest at 10%, and was originally due 
on or before October 1, 1996.  Additionally, the Company owed $192,072 in 
accrued interest from the prior indebtedness.  The note and this accrued 
interest are secured by inventory; trade receivables; the right to the name, 
"Data National Corporation," and related trademarks, licensing agreements, 
patents, and similar rights; bank accounts; and the stock of DNI and all of 
its subsidiary corporations.  

     The Dillons entered into agreements with Richard S. Simms in 1990 and 
1993 whereby, in consideration for him becoming and continuing as president, 
they sold to him certain shares of stock, agreed to pay him 10% of any 
principal paid to them (i.e., the $677,000 referred to above), agreed to pay 
him 50% of interest payments collected by them, and assigned warrants to 
purchase 160,000 shares of common stock to him. The warrants were issued to 


                         -24-
<PAGE>


the Dillons in 1992 as a result of a previous refinancing of the Dillon note 
and were transferred to Mr. Simms in 1993.

     Interest expense on the Dillon note amounted to $81,980 in fiscal 1996 
and $87,443 in fiscal 1995. 

     On May 15, 1996, three officers of the Company purchased $93,600 of the 
note payable to related parties from the related parties in exchange for notes 
payable to related parties from the officers.  The officers exchanged the 
notes for 390,000 shares of common stock at a price of $0.24 per share.

     On July 31, 1996, the Chief Financial Officer of the Company purchased 
$32,000 of the note payable to related parties from the related parties in 
exchange for a note payable to the related parties from the officer. The Chief 
Financial Officer exchanged the note to exercise a warrant to purchase 160,000 
shares of common stock of the Company at a price of $0.20 per share.

     Ray E. Dillon III and Richard S. Simms have loaned $155,000 to SBS as of 
September 30, 1996 to meet certain operating expenses until a line of credit 
is secured from a bank.  The loan bears interest at a rate of 10% plus 
transaction costs.  On January 3, 1997 the Company closed on a $500,000 
revolving loan facility with Norwest Business Credit.  Under the terms of this 
facility, the Company and SBS pledged all of their assets to collateralize the 
financing.  The line of credit bears an interest rate of 5% over Norwest's 
prime lending rate.  Advances under the facility are limited to 80% of 
eligible receivables.  As a condition of the financing, the related parties 
subordinated their debt to Norwest.  As of January 6, 1997 Norwest had not 
funded this facility.  When the facility is funded, which is anticipated to be 
no later than January 15, 1997, these short-term advances will be repaid.
