              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and the instructions to Form 10-QSB. Accordingly, they do
not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted
accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of
management, the interim financial statements include all adjustments considered
necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's financial position and its
results of operations and cash flows. The results of operations for the three
and nine month periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
expected for the full fiscal year. For further information, refer to the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1996,
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

In July 1997, the Company closed a stock purchase agreement with certain
stockholders of DTI Technology, Inc. (d.b.a. Dega Technology, Inc.) whereby the
Company acquired 95.56% of the outstanding shares of Dega Technology, Inc. in
exchange for 57,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock. Dega Technology,
Inc. develops computer software which primarily transforms paper catalogs into
digital documents located on CD-ROM's and provides electronic parts catalogs and
service manuals for vehicle, equipment and machine maintenance. The acquisition
was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. As the fair value of
the net assets acquired by the Company approximated their carrying value on the
date of acquisition, no goodwill was recorded in connection with this
acquisition.

The condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 1997 and for
the periods then ended include the accounts of DMI, Inc. and the accounts of DTI
Technology, Inc. (d.b.a. Dega Technology, Inc.) from July 21, 1997, the date of
acquisition. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation.


NOTE 2 - CONTINGENCIES

The Company does not have product liability insurance. Thus, the Company can be
held liable for all damages or other losses resulting from the use of its
products. Presently, management is unaware of any potential liabilities or
contingencies resulting from product liability.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS

General

The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30,
1996, which primarily reflect the Company's transformation from a developer and
seller of document imaging systems to a software licenser seeking a merger
partner, are not directly comparable to the results of operations for the three
and nine months ended September 30, 1997. The operations for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 1996 included some results of operations from the
Company's wholly owned subsidiary DMI, CARS, Inc. which was dissolved in 1996,
and the last sales of the Company's remaining inventory. The operations for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 1997 include the results of DTI
Technology, Inc. (d.b.a. Dega Technology, Inc. ) ("Dega") from the date of its
acquisition, July 21, 1997.

Due to the above, and because the results only include the operations of Dega
from the date of its acquisition, July 21, 1997, the results of the operations
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1997 are not an indication of
any future results of operations.

In May of 1996, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with Unicomp,
Inc. to establish a distribution channel for remanufactured Toshiba telephone
system in Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, and China. By the terms of the Agreement, the
Company was to receive 25% of the gross profits. The agreement was rescinded in
1997 in favor of a $250,000 note receivable at 8% annualized interest, due
October 21, 1997. As of the date of this report, no amounts have been collected
on this note. Due to the uncertainty regarding the ultimate collectibility of
this note, no amounts have been recorded in the accompanying condensed
consolidated financial statements relating to this note.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three Months Ended September 30, 1997 as Compared to the Three Months Ended
September 30, 1996

The Company had revenues of $45,327 during the three months ended September 30,
1997 as compared to revenues of $3,857 for the three months ended September 30,
1996. The increase in revenues is directly related to the acquisition of Dega in
July 1997 which accounted for 100% of the Company's current quarter revenue.
Although the Company has two existing licensing agreements with value added
resellers, the Company has not yet earned any revenues from such agreements.

Selling, general and administrative expenses and depreciation expense for the
three months ended September 30, 1997 also increased from prior year amounts due
to the Dega acquisition. As DMI had only one employee for the current quarter,
substantially all selling, general and administrative expenses, and all
depreciation expense, related to the operations of Dega. Additionally, the
Company issued 2,838,000 shares of the Company's common stock to various
consultants and recognized related compensation expenses of $108,126.

As a result, the Company recorded a net loss of ($391,009) or ($.010) per share,
for the three months ended September 30, 1997 as compared to a net loss of
($22,049) or ($.003) per share for the three months ended September 30, 1996.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 1997 as Compared to the Nine Months Ended
September 30, 1996

The Company had revenues of $45,327 during the nine months ended September 30,
1997 as compared to revenues of $40,073 for the nine months ended September 30,
1996. The increase in revenues resulted from the Company's acquisition of Dega
in July 1997, which accounted for 100% of the Company's revenues during the nine
months ended September 30, 1997. Although the Company has two existing licensing
agreements with value added resellers, the Company has not yet earned any
revenues from such agreements. Prior year revenues related primarily to sales of
the Company's existing document imaging inventory which was completely
liquidated in 1996.

Selling, general and administrative expenses and depreciation expense for the
nine months ended September 30, 1997 increased to $513,079 from $109,283 during
the nine months ended September 30, 1996. The increase is related to the
Company's July 1997 acquisition of Dega as DMI had only two employees during
most of 1996. Additionally, the Company recorded compensation expenses of
$108,126 in connection with the issuance of 2,838,000 shares of the Company's
common stock to various consultants.

As a result, the Company recorded a net loss of ($474,711) or ($.012) per share,
for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 as compared to a net loss of
($80,978) or ($.007) per share for the nine months ended September 30, 1996.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At September 30, 1997, the Company had working capital of $64,016. At September
30, 1997, the Company had $27,872 in business checking and money market
accounts. These funds resulted primarily from the operations of Dega, current
year sales of the Company's common stock and stockholder loans.

Although the Company believes that the operations of Dega will generate some
amount of cash, the Company recognizes the need for additional financing to
expand the business activities of Dega. No such sources of financing have yet
been secured. The Company believes that cash generated from the operations of
Dega and available cash as of September 30, 1997 will be sufficient to fund its
operating needs through the balance of the fiscal year.
