REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of DT Industries, Inc.

     In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the 
related consolidated statements of operations, of changes in stockholders' 
equity and of cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of DT Industries, Inc. and its subsidiaries at June 30, 1996 and 
June 25, 1995, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for 
each of the three fiscal years in the period ended June 30, 1996, in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles. These financial statements are 
the responsibility of the Company's management; our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our
audits of these statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards which require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

NOTE 1 ORGANIZATION

     DT Industries, Inc. (DTI or the Company) was organized to acquire the 
operations of Detroit Tool Group, Inc. (DTG), the predecessor company to DTI, in
August 1992 and the Peer Division of Teledyne, Inc. in July 1992. Manufacturing
operations are principally based in the U.S. with the exception of two foreign
entities acquired in fiscal 1996. Recent acquisitions including the foreign
acquisitions are described in Note 2. The Company and its subsidiaries operate
in two business segments, the Special Machines segment (including the Automation
Group and the Packaging Group) and the Components segment.

     The Special Machines segment designs and builds custom equipment, 
proprietary machines and integrated systems. The Components segment stamps and 
fabricates a range of standard and custom metal components for the 
transportation, appliance, heavy equipment, agricultural equipment and 
electrical industries as well as wear parts for the textile industry. 

     On February 9, 1994, the Company split its shares of common stock at a 
rate of 4.5 for 1, and increased authorized shares to 100,000,000.  All share 
and per share data in the consolidated financial statements have been adjusted 
to reflect the stock split for all periods presented.

     On April 22, 1994, an initial public offering (Offering) of DTI's common 
stock was completed.  The Company sold 4,500,000 shares of common stock at an 
offering price of $13.50 per share. The net proceeds to the Company of $55,380 
were used to repay substantially all indebtedness. In addition, Harbour Group 
Investments II, L.P. (Investments L.P.), a significant stockholder of the 
Company, under an option granted to the underwriters pursuant to the Offering 
for the purpose of covering over-allotments, sold an additional 675,000 shares 
at $13.50 per share less underwriting discounts and commissions. The net 
proceeds of approximately $8,500 therefrom were paid directly to Investments 
L.P.

</TABLE>

*Includes issuance of Loan Notes of $13,974 and approximately $930 related to 
the exercise of the option to purchase the remaining 5% interest in Swiftpack. 
See Note 4.

     During the past three fiscal years, the Company made nine acquisitions 
which have significantly expanded its product lines. These acquisitions were 
each accounted for under the purchase method of accounting and financed 
primarily through bank borrowings, resulting in an increase in the Company's 
debt. Results of operations of each acquired company have been included in the 
Company's statement of operations from the date of acquisition. The purchase 
price of each acquisition was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities 
assumed, based on their estimated fair value at the date of acquisition. The 
excess of purchase price over the estimated fair value of net assets acquired 
was, in each instance, recorded as goodwill.

     As part of the Kalish and Swiftpack acquisitions, DTI has agreed to make 
additional payments of up to $3,000 and approximately $4,700, respectively, to 
the sellers. The amount of the additional purchase prices will be determined by
a formula based on the earnings of the acquired businesses. The additional 
purchase price specified within the Kalish purchase

agreement, which is based on earnings for the three years after closing of the 
acquisition, may be paid in DTI stock at the Company's option. The additional 
purchase price specified within the Swiftpack purchase agreement, which is 
based on earnings for the three or four years after closing of the acquisition,
is payable in cash. No amount has been accrued to date for any additional 
purchase price. Any additional purchase price paid is expected to result in 
additional goodwill related to these acquisitions.

     The following table sets forth pro forma information for DTI as if all of 
the previously discussed acquisitions, excluding Armac and Arrow, had taken 
place on June 26, 1995 and June 27, 1994, respectively. The pro forma effect 
of Armac and Arrow is immaterial. This information is unaudited and does not 
purport to represent actual revenue, net income and earnings per share had 
the acquisitions actually occurred on June 26, 1995, and June 27, 1994, 
respectively.

NOTE 3 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     The accounting policies utilized by the Company in the preparation of the
financial statements conform to generally accepted accounting principles, and
require that management make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual amounts could differ from these estimates.

     The significant accounting policies followed by the Company are described 
below.

REVENUE RECOGNITION
     The percentage of completion method of accounting is used by the Company's
Special Machines segment to recognize revenues and related costs. Under the
percentage of completion method, revenues are measured based on the ratio of
engineering and manufacturing labor hours incurred to date compared to total
estimated engineering and manufacturing labor hours for each customer contract.
Any revisions in the estimated total costs or values of the contracts during the
course of the work are reflected when the facts that require the revisions
become known. Revenue from the sale of products manufactured by the Company's
Components segment is recognized upon shipment to the customer.

     Prior to June 26, 1995, revenues from certain customer contracts of the
Special Machines segment were recognized upon shipment, utilizing the "units of
delivery" modification of the percentage of completion method. The change in
accounting method in fiscal 1996 reflects the trend in the Company's Special 
Machines business for increasing engineering services provided on customer 
contracts and did not have a material impact on the Company's financial 
position and results of operations.

     Costs and related expenses to manufacture the products are recorded as 
cost of sales when the related revenue is recognized. Provisions for estimated 
losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses
are determined.

     Cash deposits received from customers on contracts in progress are 
reflected as customer advances in the consolidated balance sheet until the 
related revenue is recognized in accordance with the procedures described 
above. Costs and estimated earnings in excess of amounts billed on percentage 
of completion contracts represents costs incurred and earnings recognized in 
excess of customer advances received. Billings in excess of costs incurred and 
estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts represents customer advances 
received in excess of costs incurred and earnings recognized.

_______________________________________________________________________________

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
     The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company 
and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions 
and balances have been eliminated.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
     The accounts of the Company's foreign subsidiaries are maintained in their
respective local currencies. The accompanying consolidated financial statements
have been translated and adjusted to reflect U.S. dollars on the basis 
presented below.

     Assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at year-end 
exchange rates. Income and expense items are translated at average rates of 
exchange prevailing during the year. Adjustments resulting from the process of
translating the consolidated amounts into U.S. dollars are accumulated in a
separate translation adjustment account included in stockholders' equity. Common
stock and additional paid-in capital are translated at historical U.S. dollar
equivalents in effect at the date of acquisition. Foreign currency transaction
gains and losses are included in earnings currently. The cumulative translation
adjustment account balance and foreign currency transaction gains and losses are
not considered material.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
     Book cash overdrafts on the Company's disbursement accounts totaling 
$6,478 and $4,022 at June 30, 1996 and June 25, 1995, respectively, are 
included in accounts payable. All highly liquid debt instruments purchased with
original maturities of three months or less are classified as cash equivalents.

CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK
     The Company sells a majority of its special machines to a wide range of
manufacturing companies. Components services are sold to customers primarily in
the transportation, agricultural equipment and textile industries. The Company
performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and generally does not
require collateral, although many customers of the Special Machines segment pay
deposits to the Company prior to shipment of its products. The Company maintains
reserves for potential credit losses and historically such losses have been
within management's expectations. At June 30, 1996, the Company had no
significant concentration of credit risk. 

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
     For purposes of financial reporting, the Company has determined that the 
fair value of financial instruments approximates book value at June 30, 1996, 
based on terms currently available to the Company in financial markets.

INVENTORIES
     Domestic inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined using the
last-in, first-out (LIFO) method, or market, with the exception of raw material
inventories and the material component of work in process inventories at Detroit
Tool and Engineering, Inc. (DTE), Sencorp, Stokes, Peer, Lakso, Armac and AMI
totaling approximately $13,620, which are accounted for using the first-in,
first-out method (FIFO). For various tax and statutory reasons, inventories of
the Company's foreign subsidiaries are stated at FIFO costs. The effects on
financial position and results of operations from applying the FIFO method for
such material inventories and inventories of foreign subsidiaries are
immaterial. For other inventories maintained on a LIFO basis, cost under the
LIFO method approximates the FIFO method. Inventories include the cost of
materials, direct labor and manufacturing overhead.

     Obsolete or unsalable inventories are reflected at their estimated 
realizable values.

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
     Property, plant and equipment is recorded at cost and is depreciated using
the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets which
range from 3 to 39.5 years. Properties held under capital leases are recorded 
at the present value of the non-cancelable lease payments over the term of the 
lease and are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated 
useful lives of the assets.

     Expenditures for repairs, maintenance and renewals are charged to income 
as incurred. Expenditures which improve an asset or extend its estimated useful
life are capitalized. When properties are retired or otherwise disposed of, the
related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any
gain or loss is included in income.

GOODWILL
     The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets 
acquired in business 

<PAGE>

(Dollars in thousands, except per share data)
_______________________________________________________________________________

combinations (goodwill) is capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis 
over periods ranging from 15 to 40 years. Goodwill amortization charged to 
income for the years ended June 30, 1996, June 25, 1995 and June 26, 1994 was 
approximately $2,386, $1,660 and $1,008 respectively. Accumulated amortization 
at June 30, 1996, and June 25, 1995 was approximately $5,574 and $3,188, 
respectively. Including the full year effect of the acquisitions of Kalish, 
Arrow, Swiftpack and AMI, the Company estimates annual amortization of goodwill
to be approximately $2,733.

     The carrying value of goodwill is assessed for recoverability by 
management based on an analysis of future expected cash flows from the 
underlying operations of the Company. Management believes that there has been 
no impairment at June 30, 1996.

ENVIRONMENTAL LIABILITIES
     Environmental expenditures that relate to current operations are expensed 
or capitalized as appropriate. Expenditures that relate to an existing 
condition caused by past operations, and that do not contribute to current or 
future revenue generation, are expensed. Liabilities are recorded when 
environmental assessments and/or remedial efforts are probable, and the costs 
can be reasonably estimated. Generally, the timing of these accruals coincides 
with completion of a feasibility study or the Company's commitment to a formal 
plan of action.

POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS
     The Company has adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than
Pensions" (OPEB or SFAS 106). This standard requires recognition of the cost of
providing postretirement benefits during an employee's period of service. As
part of adopting the standard as of the acquisition of DTG, the Company recorded
an accrual of approximately $1,584 in other long-term liabilities in its balance
sheet representing the discounted present value of expected future retiree
benefits attributed to employees' service rendered in periods prior to DTI's
acquisition (see Note 9).

INCOME TAXES
     The Company files a consolidated federal income tax return which includes 
its subsidiaries. The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" (SFAS 109). Under SFAS 109, the
current or deferred tax consequences of a transaction are measured by applying
the provisions of enacted laws to determine the amount of taxes payable
currently or in future years. Deferred income taxes are provided for temporary
differences between the income tax bases of assets and liabilities, and their
carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.

EARNINGS PER SHARE
     Earnings per share is based upon the weighted average number of common 
shares outstanding during the period, after giving effect to the stock split 
described in Note 1. 

     Options under the Company's Employee Stock Option Plan and the Director's 
Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan are not included as common stock equivalents 
for earnings per share purposes since they do not have a material dilutive 
effect.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
     In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation" (SFAS 123), which addresses accounting for stock option, purchase
and award plans. SFAS 123 specifies that companies utilize either the "fair
value based method" or the "intrinsic value based method" for valuing stock
options granted. The Company will adopt SFAS 123 in fiscal 1997 and expects to
utilize the "intrinsic value based method" for valuing stock options granted.
The Company anticipates that, when adopted, SFAS 123 will have no material
effect on its financial position or results of operations.

INTEREST RATE
SWAP AGREEMENT
     The Company is a party to an interest rate swap agreement used to hedge 
interest rate fluctuations on a portion of its floating rate revolving credit
facility and term loans. This agreement is accounted for on the accrual basis 
of accounting. Net cash payments or receipts under the agreement are recorded 
as an adjustment to interest expense when such amounts become due or receivable.

FISCAL YEAR
     Beginning with fiscal 1994, the Company implemented a 52-53 week fiscal 
year that ends on the last Sunday in June.

</TABLE>

     On November 22, 1995 the Company entered into an amendment to the Amended 
and Restated Credit Facilities Agreement (Amended Credit Agreement) which 
expires August 16, 2000. The amended facility of $90,000 is provided by six
institutions. The Amended Credit Agreement provides for a $25,000 revolving
credit facility, a $43,500 term loan and a letter of credit denominated in a
foreign currency of approximately $21,500 to secure loans to finance the
Swiftpack acquisition. Borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement bear
interest at the bank's base rate or LIBOR (at the option of DTI) plus a
specified percentage based on the ratio of funded debt to operating cash flow.
At June 30, 1996, interest rates on these facilities ranged from 6.9% to 8.25%.
Borrowing availability for the revolver is based on percentages of the Company's
eligible accounts receivable, eligible inventory and outstanding letters of
credit. The Company had excess borrowing availability of $7,241 relating to the
revolving credit facility at June 30, 1996. The term loan requires quarterly
principal payments with the remaining balance due on August 16, 2000. The
principal payments range from $1,700 to $2,500. Borrowings under the Amended
Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of the assets of DTI and its
subsidiaries. The Amended Credit Agreement contains certain financial and other
covenants and restrictions for which the Company was in compliance with such
covenants and restrictions at June 30, 1996.

     In connection with the acquisition of Swiftpack on November 23, 1995, 
DT Industries (UK) Limited (DTUK) issued five fixed rate guaranteed promissory
notes (Loan Notes) with certain of the prior shareholders. The aggregate 
principal amount of the Loan Notes is $13,974. The Loan Notes bear interest at 
5.3%, are redeemable by the noteholders between November 25, 1996 and 
December 23, 1996 and are guaranteed by a credit agreement with a foreign bank 
(Foreign Credit Agreements). The Foreign Credit Agreements, entered into on 
November 23, 1995, provide the guarantee of the Loan Notes and provide a loan 
facility denominated in a foreign currency in the aggregate principal amount 
of approximately $21,000. The facility was used for the cash portion of the 
purchase price of Swiftpack and will be used for funding the redemption of the 
Loan Notes. As such, the Loan Notes are presented as long term debt on the 
consolidated balance sheet. The Foreign Credit Agreements bear interest at 
LIBOR plus a specified percentage (approximately 8.0% including letter of 
credit fees at June 30, 1996). Principal payments thereunder ranging from 
$155 to $400 are due quarterly with the remaining principal due August 16,
2000. 

     In connection with the issuance of the Loan Notes, the Company entered
into a foreign exchange forward contract to offset exchange gains and losses
related to the Loan Notes recorded by the foreign subsidiary. The contract
matures November 26, 1996 and provides the purchase of the equivalent of $13,974
of Pounds Sterling at a rate of $1.5457 per Pound Sterling.

     In addition, the Company has revolving credit facilities through its 
foreign subsidiaries of approximately $3,000, of which approximately $1,766 
was outstanding at June 30, 1996. 

     To manage its exposure to fluctuations in interest rates, on June 28,
1995, the Company 

<PAGE>

(Dollars in thousands, except per share data)
_______________________________________________________________________________

entered into an interest rate swap agreement for a notional principal amount of
$30,000, maturing June 29, 1998. Swap agreements involve the exchange of 
interest obligations on fixed and floating interest-rate debt without the 
exchange of the underlying principal amount. The differential paid or received 
on the swap agreement is recognized as an adjustment to interest expense when 
such amount becomes payable or receivable. The swap agreement provides a fixed 
rate of 6.06% with a floating rate payment equal to the three month LIBOR 
determined on a quarterly basis with settlement occurring on specific dates. 
Amounts accruing under the swap agreement did not result in a material amount 
of additional interest expense for fiscal 1996. Management believes that the 
Company's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the 
counterparty to this agreement is not material.

     In conjunction with the repayment of a term loan from the net proceeds of 
the Offering as described in Note 1, the Company recognized a loss of $179
attributable to the write-off of $314 unamortized deferred financing fees, net
of related $135 tax benefit, which is reported as an extraordinary item in the
Consolidated Statement of Operations in fiscal 1994.

     At June 30, 1996, the minimum principal payments of long-term debt, 
excluding capital lease obligations, for the five subsequent fiscal years are 
as follows:

may elect to enter a written salary deferral agreement under which a maximum of
15% of their salary, subject to aggregate limits required under the Internal
Revenue Code, may be contributed to the plan. The Company will match a
percentage of the employee's contribution up to a specified maximum percentage
of their salary. In addition, the Company generally is required to make a
mandatory contribution and may make a discretionary contribution from profits.
During the fiscal years ended June 30, 1996, June 25, 1995 and June 26, 1994,

NOTE 8 RELATED PARTIES 

     Under the terms of a management consulting and advisory services agreement,
the Company paid affiliates of Investments, L.P. fees totaling $783, $459 and 
$500 in fiscal 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively, related to corporate 
development services provided in identifying, negotiating and consummating the

direct management and administrative services provided to the Company based on 
actual, direct costs of such services. The charges, which are included in 
selling, general and administrative expenses in the financial statements, 
totaled approximately $285, $372 and $466 for the fiscal years ended June 30, 
1996, June 25, 1995 and June 26, 1994, respectively.

     Interest expense incurred with respect to a subordinated note payable to
Investments L.P. was $1,908 for the fiscal year ended June 26, 1994. The note
was repaid in full in April 1994 with proceeds from the Offering.

     The Company issued 443,250 shares of the Company's common stock at prices 
which approximated estimated fair value ranging from $1.26 to $2.57 per share 
to members of management under agreements which allow management to pay for the
stock with cash and/or recourse notes receivable to the Company. The recourse 
notes receivable were issued with interest rates ranging from 5.84% to 6.28% and
become due between September 2003 and January 2004. The notes are reflected as a
reduction to additional paid-in capital in the accompanying consolidated
financial statements.

NOTE 9 POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS

     DTI provides health care and life insurance benefits for former DTG 
employees who retired prior to September 1, 1992 (less than 100 retirees at 
June 30, 1996). Management plans to fund the premiums as incurred, net of 
reimbursements received by plan participants.

     The following table sets forth the status of the postretirement plans, 
reconciled to the postretirement benefit obligation included in the 
accompanying consolidated balance sheets:

</TABLE>

     For measurement purposes, an 11% annual rate of increase in health care 
premiums was assumed for 1997; this rate was assumed to decrease 1% per year to 
6% by 2002 and remain at that level thereafter.  An increase in the assumed
health care cost trend rates of 1% in each year would increase the accumulated
postretirement benefit obligations as of June 30, 1996, by approximately $58
and the interest cost comprising the periodic postretirement benefit cost for 
the period then ended by approximately $5.

     The weighted average discount rate used to determine the accumulated 
postretirement benefit obligation was 8% at June 30, 1996 and June 25, 1995.

     The periodic postretirement benefit cost for fiscal 1996, 1995 and 1994
charged to income was approximately $41, $41 and $65, respectively.

NOTE 10 STOCK OPTION PLANS

     In conjunction with the Offering, the Company adopted the 1994 Executive 
Stock Option Plan (Executive Plan) pursuant to which non-qualified stock options
were granted to certain existing shareholders as of the date the registration
statement relating to the Offering became effective to acquire an aggregate
379,134 shares of the Company's common stock, subject to adjustment, by
tendering existing common stock in payment therefor. The options were exercised
immediately after the Offering. The exercise price of all options was the
current market price on the date of exercise and all options were exercised by
exchanging shares of previously owned common stock. The grant and exercise of
options under the Executive Plan did not result in any increase in the
beneficial ownership of common stock by the plan participants from the number of
shares owned at the time of the Offering. Under the terms of the Executive Plan,
the shares of common stock issued pursuant to the exercise of the options became
freely transferable, subject to the restrictions of the Stockholder Agreements
with each of the Executive Stockholders, on the last day of the sixth full month
following the date of exercise of such options. The provisions of the
Stockholder Agreements, which are subject to modification or waiver by the
Company, generally prohibited the sale of 157,500 of such shares for a period of
two years after exercise of the options, an aggregate 223,997 of such shares for
a period of eighteen months after exercise and an aggregate 268,322 of such
shares for a period of one year after exercise of the options. The shares
tendered in exercise of options granted under the Executive Plan were issued
under promissory notes due in September 2003 through January 2004 as discussed
in Note 8.

     In connection with the Offering, the Company established a 1994 Employee 
Stock Option Plan (Employee Plan). The Employee Plan provides for the granting 
of options to the Company's executive officers and key employees to purchase 
shares of common stock at prices equal to the fair market value of the stock 
on the date of grant. Options to purchase up to 900,000 shares of common stock 
may be granted under the Employee Plan. Options outstanding at June 30, 1996 
entitle the holders to purchase common stock at prices ranging between $10.25 
and $20.75. Options shall become exercisable with respect to one-fourth of the 
shares covered thereby on each anniversary of the date of grant, commencing on 
the second anniversary of the date granted. The right to exercise the options 
expires ten years from the date of grant or earlier if an option holder ceases 
to be employed by the Company.

     Also in connection with the Offering, the Company established a 1994 
Directors Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan (Directors Plan) which provides for 
the granting of options to the Company's directors, who are not employees of 
the Company, to purchase shares of common stock at prices equal to the fair 
market value of the stock on the date of grant. Options to purchase up to 
100,000 shares of common stock may be granted under the Directors Plan. Options
aggregating 75,000 shares currently outstanding entitle the holders to purchase
common stock at prices ranging between $13.50 and $16.00 per share. Options 
shall become exercisable with respect to one-fourth of the shares covered, 
thereby on each anniversary of the date of grant, commencing on the second 
anniversary of such date. All options granted under the Directors Plan expire 
ten years from the date of grant.

     A summary of stock option transactions pursuant to the Employee Plan and 
Directors Plan follows.

NOTE 11 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

     The Company is a party to certain lawsuits. Management and legal counsel 
do not expect the outcome of any litigation to have a material adverse effect 
on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

     The fiscal 1990, 1991, 1992 and 1993 federal income tax returns for DTG 
and DTI have been audited by the Internal Revenue Service (the IRS). During the
fourth quarter of fiscal 1996, the Company reached an agreement in principle to
settle with the IRS. The additional taxes due under the agreement are not 
material to the Company's financial position, results of operations or 
liquidity. There are no other material audits underway or notification of 
audits for DTI or any of its subsidiaries.

$20,000 acquisition facility and a $21,000 foreign currency denominated letter 
of credit. The term loan requires quarterly principal payments ranging from 
$4,750 to $5,500 commencing in January 1997 with final maturity on July 23, 
2001. Borrowings under the agreement bear interest at prime or LIBOR (at the 
option of DTI) plus a specified percentage based on the ratio of funded debt to
operating cash flow. In conjunction with entering into the new credit facility,
the Company recognized an extraordinary loss in July 1996 of $324 attributable 
to the write-off of $540 unamortized deferred financing fees, net of related 
$216 tax benefit. 

     On July 19, 1996, DTI purchased the outstanding stock of Mid-West 
Automation Enterprises Inc. (Mid-West), a Chicago-area designer and manufacturer
of integrated precision assembly systems, in a transaction accounted for under
the purchase method of accounting. The purchase price of approximately $77,000,
net of cash acquired, was financed by borrowings under the Second Amended and
Restated Credit Facilities Agreement. As the transaction occurred subsequent to
the end of fiscal 1996, Mid-West's balance sheet and results of operations are
excluded from the consolidated balance sheet and results of operations of DTI.
