ITEM 1.  BUSINESS.

Recent Developments

         On February 24, 1998, Data Systems Network Corporation (the "Company")
announced that it had discovered accounting irregularities which it believed
resulted in an overstatement of certain previously released earnings. Its
independent auditors issued a letter withdrawing their report on the audited
financial statements for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1996, and the
Company's treasurer and chief financial officer resigned. A special committee of
the outside members of the Company's Board of Directors was established to
investigate the matter.


         This Amendment No. 2 to the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1997 includes an audited 1997 consolidated balance sheet and
unaudited consolidated statement of operations, stockholders' equity and cash
flows for the year ended December 31, 1997. In addition, this Amendment
includes restated and unaudited 1996 consolidated financial statements and
unaudited 1995 consolidated financial statements. The Company is currently
working with its auditors to complete an audited statement of operations,
stockholders' equity and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 1997 and
audited financial statements for 1996 and 1995, and will promptly file an
amendment to this report upon completion of such audited financial statements
and receipt of the requisite reports thereon. See Independent Auditors Report
and "Note 15 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements."


General

         The Company, incorporated in Michigan in 1986, provides computer
network integration and data management services in the distributed computing
marketplace. The Company's broad array of services includes designing,
installing, and managing networks of personal computers, workstations and
mainframes linked with communications hardware and software and peripheral
equipment, selling network components, training users and administrators of
networks and providing technical, expansion and maintenance services. Marketing
efforts are directed at Fortune 1000 and middle market corporations, state and
local governments, and institutional users such as hospitals and universities.

         In November 1994, the Company completed its initial offering of
1,270,000 shares of Common Stock and 1,270,000 Redeemable Common Stock Purchase
Warrants (the "Warrants") to the public. Upon completion of the offering, the
Common Stock and the Warrants became qualified for trading on the Nasdaq Stock
Market's SmallCap Market and the Pacific Stock Exchange. In February 1997, the
Company called all of its then outstanding Warrants for redemption as of March
10, 1997 pursuant to the Warrant Agreement, dated October 28, 1994, setting
forth the terms of the 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 of approximately $7,300,000.

         In February 1996, the Company acquired 70% of the common stock of
Unified Network Services, Inc. ("UNS"), a start-up network management operation
based in Raleigh, North Carolina for $7,000 in cash. The Company also acquired
the Network Systems Group ("NSG") of SofTech, Inc. in September 1996 for 540,000
shares of the Company's Common Stock and $890,000 in cash. From September 1996
through December 1997, the Company has opened in excess of 10 new locations in
the eastern, mid-Atlantic, and southern areas of the United States.

Business Strategy

         The Company's primary objective is to be the principal "network
integration and management company" for business, governmental, and
institutional customers throughout the United States. To achieve its objective,
the Company intends to expand through internal growth and to explore
opportunities to acquire other businesses serving its target markets.

         During 1997, the Company has continued to make major changes to its
operations in order to reposition the Company in terms of mix of business, type
of customer, and geographical area served. In terms of mix of business,

<PAGE>   3


the Company is focusing on a higher level of service-to-product revenue mix,
emphasizing those high end services, such as network management services and
products that enable the control of complex distributed computing environments,
where the Company believes it has a competitive advantage. The Company's
marketing focus has changed to include not only commercial accounts, but also
governmental accounts and the Company has expanded its geographical coverage to
include significant sales and service coverage of the eastern United States.

         In addition, the Company continues to make a substantial investment in
a remote network management facility in Raleigh, North Carolina. The Network
Center has been completed and has been operational since the first quarter 1997.
In connection with the Network Center, the Company has developed a
multi-functional software product which has been trademarked "ENCOR" that
performs remote management at a client location. The Company also has a
telephone support center located near its headquarters in Michigan, which it
intends to integrate into its remote network management offering during 1998.

Products and Services

         The Company's principal business is to provide computer network
services and products that allow companies to control their complex distributed
computing environments. Such services include the design, sale and service of
local area networks ("LANs") and wide area networks ("WANs"). The Company
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. The Company is an authorized dealer, reseller or integrator for the
products of many major vendors, including, but not limited to: IBM, Compaq, Sun
Microsystems, Dell, Bay Networks, Hewlett-Packard, Novell, Microsoft, Cisco,
Meridian Data, 3COM, Intel, and Oracle. The Company has developed applications
for remote network management and sells private label computer systems,
primarily to state governments. In addition, the Company provides application
development services in database development, web site and Internet development,
and imaging systems.

         Resellers who meet specified qualifications receive customer referrals
and recommendations and advanced technical assistance and support from certain
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 certain advanced equipment, ongoing training
requirements, and minimum purchase targets. The process of obtaining and
maintaining these manufacturer authorizations is both time consuming and
expensive, with the cost of obtaining and maintaining a single authorization
ranging from $5,000 to approximately $250,000. 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. Some authorizations for which the Company has qualified are:
Novell Platinum Reseller, Microsoft Solutions Provider, and Banyan Premier
Provider.


         Equipment is generally sold by the Company only in conjunction with the
Company's higher margin network engineering services. These services include
design, consulting, installation and network administration for both LANs and
WANs. The Company 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.

         The Company 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 and a "guaranteed spares" program for
self-maintaining clients. Warranties provided by manufacturers are generally
passed through to the purchaser by the Company. The Company offers no warranty
separate from manufacturers' warranties.

Marketing and Customers

         The Company markets its products and services through its internal
sales force. The Company has sales service personnel in the following states:
Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, New
Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and South Carolina. The
Company adds and deletes locations on the basis of business opportunities. The
Company is able to perform work outside of its locations based upon the
locations of its customers' projects. The Company has no retail sales outlets
and has no intentions of entering the retail markets.

         Marketing efforts are directed at Fortune 1000 and middle market
corporations, state and local governments, and institutional users such as
hospitals and universities. Although the Company intends to expand its
geographical coverage, current marketing efforts are generally focused on
customers located in the states in which the Company has offices.

         The State of Michigan accounted for 29.6% and 23.6% of revenues in 1997
and 1996, respectively. This business resulted from the contract which was
assigned in connection with the NSG acquisition in September 1996. Revenues in
previous years from the State of Michigan were minimal. Purchases by agencies of
the State of Michigan were made pursuant to a blanket agreement which has been
extended and currently expires in September 1998. There are no assurances that
this contract can be extended further or that, if rebid, the Company will be
awarded an additional contract under the same terms and conditions. The loss of
this contract would have a material adverse affect on the Midwest region
revenues, however, the Company believes that this adverse affect would, in part,
be offset by the new customer base that has been developed in the eastern United
States.

Vendors

         The Company purchases the microcomputers and related products it sells
directly from certain vendors and indirectly through distributors, such as
Inacom Corporation and Ingram Micro Corporation ("Ingram Micro"). In general,
the Company must be authorized by a vendor in order to sell certain of its
products, whether the products are purchased from distributors or directly from
the vendors. The Company is an authorized reseller for microcomputers,
workstations, and related products of over 50 manufacturers. Sales by the
Company of products manufactured by Compaq, Dell, Hewlett-Packard and IBM
accounted for between 45% to 55% of revenues during each of the last three
fiscal years. Typically, vendor agreements provide that the Company 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 certain events and are
subject to periodic renewal. The loss of a major manufacturer or the
deterioration of the Company's relationship with a major manufacturer could have
a material adverse effect on the Company's business as certain product offerings
that are requested by customers would not be available to the Company.


         The Company 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. The Company's contract with Ingram Micro, through which it
purchased 15.8% of its product purchases in 1997, provides competitive pricing
and inventory and asset management terms and conditions. While the loss of all
of the Company's relationships with distributors would result in higher product
prices to the Company and potentially reduce the Company's profit margins, the
Company believes that the loss of its relationship with any particular
distributor would not have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of
operations or financial condition due to the availability of other sources of
supply. As is customary in the industry, the Company does not have any long-term
agreements or commitments, because competitive sources of supply are generally
available for such products.



<PAGE>   5


         During 1997, the Company has signed an agreement with Ingram Micro to
provide remote network management services to Ingram Micro's Ingram Systems
Group ("ISG"). The ISG is a group of companies which represent the top 40
customers of Ingram Micro and who do not have the capabilities or capacities to
provide their customers with the high-end services such as remote network
management. Though no significant revenues have yet been recorded, the Company
believes that this alliance will provide important business opportunities in the
future.

Competition

         The network integration market is highly competitive. The Company
competes with different classes of competitors, depending on the type of
business opportunity. For project-oriented sales, the Company competes with
system integrators and with computer hardware manufacturers. The Company also
competes with a wide variety of local, regional and national hardware resellers
for add-on equipment sales. Because the Company is not as price-aggressive as
some of these competitors, the Company relies on its sales force to provide
superior servicing and post-sale technical support to maintain its customer
relationships. Depending on the customer, the Company 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.

         Although many of its competitors are larger and have significantly
greater financial, marketing and human resources and geographic coverage than
the Company, the Company believes that it can compete effectively 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
established infrastructure.

         Historically, manufacturers, which generally target customers desiring
products from only the particular manufacturer, and computer retail chains,
which focus principally on product sales, have not consistently served the
Company's market component. The entry of such competitors into the Company's
market component could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Employees

         As of December 31, 1997, the Company employed approximately 285
persons, 71 of whom were sales personnel, 160 of whom were service personnel and
the remainder of whom were administrative or management personnel. The Company's
employees have no union affiliations and the Company believes its relationship
with its employees is good.

ITEM 7.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
          CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


          The following discussion and analysis compares the financial results
for the three year period ending December 31, 1997 and should be read in
conjunction with the Company's financial statements and notes thereto. The      
Company's financial statements include (i) an audited 1997 consolidated balance
sheet and unaudited statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash 
flows for the year ended December 31, 1997; (ii) restated and unaudited 1996 
financial statements and (iii) unaudited 1995 financial statements. The 
investigation into the Company's accounting irregularities, coupled with the
subsequent resignation of the Company's independent auditing firm on March 13,
1998, and the engagement of a new independent auditing firm on March 25, 1998
have resulted in the inability of the new auditors to complete their audit of
all of the Company's financial statements included herein and issue the
requisite report thereon in time for inclusion in this report. The Company is
working with its auditors to complete the audit of the currently unaudited
financial statements and will promptly file an amendment to this report upon
completion of such audit and receipt of the requisite reports thereon. See
Independent Auditors Report and "Note 15 of Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements."  

          The following discussion and analysis contain a number of "forward
looking statements" within the meaning of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. These include general   
business conditions, continuing favorable economic conditions, the failure of
the Company's customers to fulfill contractual commitments, the ability of the
Company to recruit and retain qualified personnel, the ability of the Company
to develop and sustain new customers in geographic areas in which the Company
has recently begun to operate, the ability of management to implement new
systems to manage the Company's growth effectively and  efficiently, the impact
of undetected errors or defects associated with year 2000 date functions on the
Company's current products and internal systems, the willingness of the
Company's bank lender to continue to lend under the credit facility or the
Company's ability to secure alternative working capital financing, the
relative uncertainties in the market direction of emerging technologies, the
ability of the Company to recruit and retain qualified personnel and the
potential loss of key personnel within the new regions, the Company's ability
to retain its commercial and governmental contracts (including the State of
Michigan contract) and a lack of  market acceptance of the Company's products
and services.
                              RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

          A significant part of a competitive strategy adopted by the Company 
in 1995 was to focus the Company's resources in two areas: accelerating the 
Company's growth rate, and expanding its network management support services 
offerings. The results of operations for 1996 and 1997 reflect the 
implementation of this strategy.

                          YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997
                    COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996


REVENUES.

          The Company's total revenues rose by 262% to $88.0 million in 1997,
compared to $33.5 million in 1996, primarily due to the full year impact of the
Company's acquisition of NSG (which was acquired in September 1996) and, to a
lesser extent, due to the expansion into the eastern region of the United
States. The NSG acquisition resulted in the assignment of the State of Michigan
contract which directly contributed 30% of 1997 total revenues. The Company's
direct product sales component of the business grew 254% or $41.7 million in
1997 and service revenue grew 298% as management continued to focus on new
account penetration through the offering of services in conjunction with
product sales. The Company was able to secure certain net sales by leveraging
its strategic vendor alliances and partnering with these vendors in
manufacturer direct sales efforts. Net product sales are expected to level out
on a year to year basis as the Company continues its strategic shift towards
increasing the higher margin service revenue.  As a result of the 
comprehensive accounting review and year end audit, a number of adjustments 
have been made which have negatively affected the results for 1997 and 1996,
including a general reserve against net sales for credit memos and sales
allowances of $.5 million in 1997, which was established to consistently 
account for customer returns on a year to year basis.

          Service revenues increased $12.7 million in 1997 to 21.7% of total
revenues compared to 19.1% in 1996. This increase is primarily due to the
allocation of additional resources to further develop the Company's capabilities
to deliver advanced service and remote and on-site network management offerings.

COST OF REVENUES.

          Cost of net sales decreased as a percentage of total revenues to 68.0%
in 1997 compared to 70.1% in 1996. This decrease was primarily due to the
Company's continued focus on larger project installation sales and strategic
vendor pricing due to volume purchases, as well as its 1996 addition of private
label computer products and application development. Cost of net sales
increased in 1997 by $2.2 million and in 1996 by $2.6 million due to 
adjustments to inventory and service parts inventory, made pursuant to the
Company's accounting review and year end audit. These adjustments relate to 
obsolescence and the reconciliation of the book to physical and the 
restatement to lower of cost or market.  The cost of net sales as a
percentage of net sales revenue for 1997 was 87%, which was unchanged from 
1996. 

          Cost of service revenues increased to 17.7% of total revenues in
1997 from 15.7% of total revenues in 1996, as management's focus on the
offering of services in conjunction with product sales continued.  Cost of
service revenue as a percentage of service revenue decreased to 81.3% in 1997
from 82.3% in 1996. This decrease was primarily due to the employment of
significant technical resources in 1996 in anticipation of greater service
revenue opportunities in 1997 and the Company's increased use of the broader
base of in-house technical talent in 1997. Essentially, the Company began to
benefit in 1997 from investments the Company made in 1996 in NSG and additional
technical personnel.  

<PAGE>   11


          The Company also incurred significant expenses in connection with its
network management service offerings, as well as other infrastructure costs.
The Company believes that the market for its network management services is
characterized by rapid technological advancement. To maintain its competitive
position in the industry, the Company expects to continue to invest significant
resources in new hardware, software and processes, as well as in enhancements
to existing processes, including research and development efforts of the
Company and UNS, subject to constraints on working capital.


OPERATING EXPENSES.

          Operating expenses decreased to 19.1% of total revenues in 1997 from
25.3% of total revenues in 1996 and sales expenses decreased to 12.5% of total
revenues in 1997 versus 14.4% of total revenues in 1996. Both declines were due
to better utilization of internal resources, cost controls and economies of
scale. General and administrative expense was 6.6% of total revenues in 1997
compared to 10.9% of total revenues in 1996. The 1996 numbers were due
primarily to start-up expenditures and the temporary duplicative expenses
resulting from the expansion of the operations through the acquisition of NSG
and the additional eastern region direct sales offices and, to a lesser extent,
a $425,000 increase in the reserve for uncollectible notes receivable. Certain
allowances for doubtful accounts receivables and non-trade receivables, made 
as a result of the Company's accounting review and year end audit, accounted 
for $1.7 million additional general and administrative expenses in 1997.

OTHER EXPENSES.

          Other expenses increased $564,000 over 1996 to 0.9% of total revenues,
due primarily to the increase in interest expense which resulted from increased
utilization of the bank line of credit. Interest expense, net of interest income
from cash invested, was $1,243,560 and was partially offset by other income of
$491,638 which is primarily due to vendor rebate programs.

                          YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996
                    COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995

REVENUES.

          The Company's total revenues rose by 10% to $33.5 million in 1996,
compared to $30.5 million in 1995, primarily due to the Company's acquisitions
of UNS and NSG and, to a lesser extent, due to the Company's expansion into the
eastern region of the United States. The NSG acquisition resulted in the
assignment of the State of Michigan contract which directly contributed 24% of
1996 total revenues. The Company's direct product sales component of
the business declined slightly from $28.2 million in 1995 to $27.1 million in
1996 as management continued to focus on new account penetration through the
offerings of services in conjunction with product sales. The Company was able
to secure certain net sales by leveraging its strategic vendor alliances and
partnering with these vendors in manufacturer direct sales efforts. However,
these efforts only partially offset the flat or decreasing sales that were 
anticipated prior to the NSG acquisition and geographic expansion which 
occurred late in the year.  As a result of the Company's restatement of its
1996 financial statements, net sales were reduced by $1.1 million in accounts
receivable due to credit memos made in 1997 that relate to 1996 sales.

          Service revenues increased $4.1 million in 1996 from 1995 to 19.1% of
net sales compared to 7.5% in 1995. This increase is primarily due to the
allocation of additional resources to further develop the Company's capabilities
to deliver advanced service and remote and on-site network management offerings.

COST OF REVENUES.

          Cost of revenues in 1996 included the effects of the NSG and UNS
acquisitions and the Company's expansion into the eastern region of the United
States, which occurred late in the third quarter of 1996. Management
refocused the Company's business in conjunction with these changes by shifting
resources away from the lower margin direct product component of the Company,
in favor of the higher returns expected from the advanced service and network
management offerings. Primarily as a result of this activity, cost of revenues
decreased to 85.8% of total revenues in 1996 from 91.5% of total revenues in 
1995.  The decline was offset as a result of the restatement of the Company's
1996 financial statements, wherein the cost of revenues for 1996 was increased
by a $2.2 million reduction in inventory due to obsolescence and accounting
errors and a $450,000 reduction in service parts due to obsolescence.

          Cost of sales decreased as a percentage of total revenues to 70.1% in
1996 from 87.7% in 1995 and decreased as a percentage of net sales to 86.7% in
1996 from 94.9% in 1995. This decrease was primarily due to the Company's
continued focus on larger project installation sales as well as its 1996
addition of private label computer products and application development. Cost of
service revenue increased to 15.7% of total revenues in 1996 from 3.8% of total
revenues in 1995 due to the significant increase in total service revenues.
Conversely, cost of service revenue increased to 82% of service revenue in 1996
from 51% in 1995. This increase was primarily due to the employment of
significant technical personnel in the fourth quarter in anticipation of greater
service revenue opportunities in 1997.

          The Company also incurred research and development expenses of $25,000
in 1996 and $82,000 in 1995 in connection with the development of its network
management service offerings, as well as other infrastructure costs. The Company
believes that the market for its network management services is characterized by
rapid technological advancement. To maintain its competitive position in the
industry, the Company expects to continue to invest significant resources in new
hardware, software and processes, as well as in enhancements to existing
processes including research and development efforts of the Company and UNS,
subject to constraints on working capital.

OPERATING EXPENSES.

          Operating expenses increased to 25.3% of total revenues in 1996 from
10.6% of total revenues in 1995. Sales expenses increased to 14.4% of total
revenues in 1996 versus 6.3% of total revenues in 1995. General and
administrative expense was up to 10.9% of total revenues in 1996 from 4.3% of
total revenues in 1995. These increases were due primarily to start-up
expenditures and the temporarily duplicative expenses resulting from the
expansion of the Company's operations through the acquisition of NSG and the 
additional eastern region direct sales offices.  Additionally, and as a result
of the restatement of the Company's 1996 results, general and administrative
expenses were increased by a $425,000 increase in reserves for uncollected
notes receivable.

OTHER EXPENSES.

          Other expenses decreased $92,000 in 1996 to 0.6% of total revenues,
due primarily to the increase of $86,000 in interest income earned from the
investment of the balance of the proceeds of the 1994 public offering,
and miscellaneous UNS income of $74,000. Also contributing to the decrease was a
$119,000 decrease in interest expense due primarily to the Company's success at
negotiating more advantageous payment terms with its key vendors, and  the 1996
reduction in the Company's bank borrowing rate to .25% above prime compared to
the 1995 rate of .75% above prime.

                               FINANCIAL CONDITION

          As of December 31, 1997, cash and investments totaled $6.2
million, an increase of $4.7 million from 1996. Cash used in operating
activities for 1997 was $16.9 million compared to cash used of $4.4 million in
1996. The increase was primarily due to a significant increase in sales on
credit during the last quarter of 1997, which caused an increase in accounts
receivable of 246% ($16 million) in 1997 over 1996. The increase was partially
offset by a $5.0 million increase in accounts payable and a $2.1 million
increase in accrued liabilities. Investing activities consumed $1.4 million
during 1997 compared to $1.9 million in 1996, for major investments in
components and computer equipment.

          As of December 31, 1997, the Company finances its business primarily
through funds generated internally through operations, trade credit and advances
under its $12 million revolving line of credit and $8 million discretionary line
of credit with NBD Bank (the "Bank"). The line of credit is secured by
substantially all of the Company's assets, with the exception of those inventory
assets acquired with financing under the IBM credit line, and is due on
demand  by the Bank. The term of the revolving line of credit extends to
September 30, 1999, and the discretionary line extends to September 30, 1998.
The agreement is renewable  annually and may  be terminated at any time by the
Company or the Bank. The agreement contains certain financial ratio covenants
and other covenants which require  the Company's receivables to be genuine and
free of all other encumbrances and require the Company's inventory to be kept
only at certain locations and to be free of all other encumbrances. As of
December 31, 1997, the line of credit bore interest at rates between 8.0% and
8.5%. Borrowing under the line of credit was determined based on a collateral
formula. As of December 31, 1997, the formula permitted borrowings of up to
$20.0 million, of which $17.2 million was outstanding. 

          Although the Company was not in compliance with certain covenants in
its credit agreement regarding minimum current and leverage ratios at December
31, 1997, the Bank had waived the Company's non-compliance. The Company is
currently negotiating a replacement line of credit with the Bank and
investigating possible sources of alternative financing. On June 15, 1998, the
Company was verbally informed by the Bank that its borrowing level was
temporarily capped, pending completion of negotiations, and that it is currently
in default under its credit agreement. In the event that the Company is unable
to negotiate a new line of credit or is otherwise unable to borrow amounts
necessary to fund its operations, or if repayment of its obligations under the
current line of credit is demanded by the Bank, the Company's financial
position would be materially and adversely affected. In such event, there can
be no assurance that the Company would be able to obtain alternative working
capital financing to continue its operations.

          The Company finances certain inventory sales through a secured finance
agreement with IBM Credit Corporation. As of December 31, 1997, the agreement
extended a maximum of $2,000,000 in secured funds to be used exclusively for the
acquisition of inventory for resale, limited to those products manufactured by
Apple, Compaq, Hewlett Packard, IBM and Lexmark. Use of this credit line is at
the Company's option. To secure payment of all debt incurred under this
agreement, IBM Credit Corporation was granted a first security interest in the
Company's inventory financed through this agreement equal to the amount of the
outstanding debt. This agreement allows for thirty (30) days interest-free
borrowings of eligible inventory and a variable discount off of invoice for
eligible product purchases paid for within fifteen days from the date of
invoice. This agreement can be terminated at any time by the Company or the
lender. The terms and conditions of this financing agreement can be changed at
the discretion of IBM Credit Corporation. The outstanding amount at December 31,
1997 was approximately $1.5 million and has been included in accounts payable.

          Under the final settlement of the Company's Plan of Reorganization,
the Company is obligated to pay approximately $114,000 as of December 31, 1997
and has been released from the prior contingent obligation. The amount remains
unchanged from December 31, 1996. A total amount of $200,000 is payable to the
Chairman of the Board and one of the Company's other directors, in three equal 
annual installments beginning June 1998 under certain 13% subordinated notes 
issued pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization. With the Plan of Reorganization
completed, the Company, at its option, may accelerate the payment of this
obligation. The subordinated notes are accounted for

net of a related $200,000 note receivable from the Chairman. There are no 
further payment requirements anticipated as the bankruptcy case has been closed
by final decree as of January 16, 1997.

In February, March and April 1998 civil actions were filed against the Company,
certain officers, and the Board of Directors. The complaints allege violations
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 resulting from alleged nondisclosures and
misrepresentations of information concerning the Company's financial results and
future prospects due to accounting irregularities. Management is unable to
assess the potential amount of any liability resulting from such class action
lawsuits, however, management currently believes that the resolution of these
proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial
position or results of operations. It is reasonably possible that future events
and circumstances could alter management's belief, however.

          The Company believes that the combination of present cash balances,
future operating cash flows, and working capital provided by the Bank credit 
facility or alternate working capital financing secured by the Company will be
adequate to fund the Company's internal growth and current short and long term
cash flow requirements.

YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

          The Company is in the process of addressing the effect of the Year
2000 problem on its computer systems. The Company is currently engaged in a
project to upgrade its information, technology, and accounting software to
programs that will consistently and properly recognize the Year 2000. Many of
the Company's systems include new hardware and packaged software recently
purchased from vendors who have represented that these systems are already "Year
2000 compliant". The Company is also obtaining assurance from other vendors that
timely updates will be made available to ensure the software they have provided
is Year 2000 compliant.

          The Company has initiated formal communications with all of its
significant suppliers and large customers to determine the extent to which the
Company may be vulnerable if those third parties fail to remediate their own
Year 2000 issues. The Company can give no assurance that the systems of other
companies on which the Company's systems rely will be converted on time or that
a failure to convert by another company or a conversion that is incompatible
with the Company's systems would not have a material adverse effect on the
Company.

          The Company will utilize both internal and external resources to
reprogram, replace and test its software for Year 2000 compliance, and the
Company expects to complete the project in early 1999. The total cost associated
with the required modification and conversion is not yet known but, based upon
current plans, such cost is not expected to be material to the Company's
consolidated results. Costs associated with Year 2000 modification and 
conversion will be expensed as incurred.

                         Independent Auditor's Report


To the Directors and Stockholders
Data Systems Network Corporation

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Data Systems
Network Corporation as of December 31, 1997 and the related consolidated
statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the year
then ended.  These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of
the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
consolidated financial statements based on our audit.

Except as discussed in the following paragraph, we conducted our audit in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.  Those standards require
that we plan and perform the audit 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.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our
audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We were not engaged as auditors until after December 31, 1997.  We were not
present to observe the physical inventory taken at December 31, 1996 and we
were not able to apply other auditing procedures to satisfy ourselves as to
inventory quantities or values as of January 1, 1997.  Accordingly, the scope
of our work was not sufficient to enable us to express, and we do not express,
an opinion on the accompanying statements of operations, stockholders' equity
and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 1997.

In our opinion, the 1997 consolidated balance sheet referred to above presents
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Data Systems
Network Corporation at December 31, 1997, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern.  The Company has experienced
significant recurring losses from operations.  In addition, as described in
Note 7 to the financial statements, the Company's bank has withdrawn their new
credit agreement that was to take effect in May 1998, and has limited the line
of credit as of June 15, 1998.  These facts raise substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern.  Management's plans
concerning these matters are also described in Note 7.  The financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of
this uncertainty.

We did not audit, review or compile the 1996 or 1995 financial statements of
Data Systems Network Corporation and, accordingly, do not express an opinion or
any other form of assurance on them.

                        DATA SYSTEMS NETWORK CORPORATION
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                  YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997, 1996 AND 1995


1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

ORGANIZATION The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of Data Systems Network Corporation and its 70% - owned subsidiary,
Unified Network Services, Inc. ("UNS") and the operation of the Network Systems
Group ("NSG") from their respective dates of purchase (Note 2). The principal
activities of Data Systems Network Corporation (the "Company") involve the sales
of microcomputer and network hardware and software and the performance of
maintenance and advance services, such as network management, imaging and
systems consulting, to major corporate and state and local government customers
in the United States. The Company's corporate headquarters are in Michigan.
Additionally, there are two technical centers, one in Michigan and one in North
Carolina, and 20 direct sales offices located throughout the United States.

RECOVERABILITY OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS The Company reviews the recoverability of
its assets on a periodic basis in order to identify business conditions that may
indicate a possible impairment. The assessment for potential impairment is based
primarily on the Company's ability to recover the unamortized balance of its
long-lived assets from expected future cash flows on an undiscounted basis.

LEASES, which meet certain criteria evidencing substantive ownership by the
Company, are capitalized and the related capital lease obligations are included
in current and long-term liabilities. Amortization and interest are charged to
expense, with rent payments being treated as payments of the capital lease
obligation. All other leases are accounted for as operating leases, with rent
payments being charged to expense as incurred.

STOCK OPTIONS The Company has a stock option plan (Note 12). Options granted to
employees are accounted for using the intrinsic value method, under which
compensation expense is recorded at the amount by which the market price of the
underlying stock at the grant date exceeds the exercise price of an option.
Under the Company's plan the exercise price on all options granted equals or
exceeds the fair value of the stock at the grant date. Accordingly, no
compensation cost is recorded as a result of stock option awards under the plan.

INVESTMENTS The Company's management determines the appropriate classification
of securities at the time of purchase and re-evaluates such designation as of
each balance sheet date. The investments are primarily Industrial Revenue Bond
securities that are classified as trading securities. The securities are
reported at fair value with unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, reported in
the income statement. Unrealized losses, net of tax, at December 31, 1997 were
approximately $6,000. All of the investments were sold subsequent to December
31, 1997.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS For the purposes of cash flows, the Company considers
all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less when
purchased as cash equivalents.

INVENTORIES, consisting entirely of goods for resale, are stated at the lower of
cost or market with cost determined on the weighted average method.

SERVICE PARTS are stated at the lower of cost or market and represent equipment
spares utilized for service contracts.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization are
computed using straight-line methods over the estimated useful lives of the
respective assets ranging from five to seven years.

GOODWILL which represents the excess of purchase price over fair value of net
assets acquired is being amortized on a straight-line basis over twenty years,
which is the estimated future period to be benefitted. Goodwill will be
periodically reviewed for impairment based on an assessment of future operations
to ensure that they are appropriately valued. Accumulated amortization was
$309,879 and $97,774 at December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
<PAGE>   22

INCOME TAXES are accounted for under the asset and liability 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 and operating
loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax 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.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT costs are expensed as incurred.

USE OF ESTIMATES - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles, management is required 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. Management has made significant estimates with
respect to the collection of receivables, obsolescence of inventory and the
possible outcome of outstanding litigation. Actual results could differ from
those estimates, making it reasonably possible that a change in these estimates
could occur in the near term. 

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, bank line
of credit, long-term debt, accounts receivable and accounts payable. As of
December 31, 1997 and 1996, the fair value of these financial instruments
approximates the carrying amount.

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 shipped. 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 are estimated based upon historical
data. Actual credits are recorded against the established reserve in the month
they are authorized and accepted. The Company's customers have no contractual
rights to return products. The Company 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. The Company offers no warranty separate from the product
manufacturers' warranties. As of December 31, 1997 the Company had recorded a
reserve of $500,000 for potential product returns and service adjustments.

EARNINGS (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE In February 1997, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board issued Statement No. 128, "Earnings per Share" ("SFAS 128").
SFAS 128 specifies the computation; 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. All potential common shares were excluded
from the computations of diluted earnings per share for the years ended December
31, 1997, 1996 and 1995 because the effect would have been anti-dilutive.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS - In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 130,
Reporting Comprehensive Income, and SFAS No. 131, Disclosures About Segments of
an Enterprise and Related Information. SFAS No. 130 establishes standards for
reporting and displaying of comprehensive income and its components. SFAS No.
131 establishes standards for the way that public business enterprises report
information about operating segments and related information in interim and
annual financial statements. SFAS No. 130 and 131 are effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 1997. These two statements did not have any effect
on the Company's 1997 financial statements; however, management is evaluating
what, if any additional disclosures may be required when these two statements
are implemented.

2. ACQUISITIONS - (UNAUDITED)

On February 22, 1996, the Company purchased 70% (7,000 shares) of UNS for       
$7,000, and acquired certain liabilities in a transaction accounted for as a
purchase. The purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and
liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair market value. The excess of
the purchase price over the estimated fair market value of the net assets
acquired amounted to $999,078, which is being accounted for as goodwill and is
being amortized over 20 years using a straight-line method.

Effective September 3, 1996, the Company purchased the assets and operations of
The Network Services Group of SofTech, Inc. ("SofTech"), and assumed certain
liabilities from SofTech. The acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase.
In exchange for certain assets and liabilities, SofTech received cash in the
amount of $890,000 and 540,000 shares of the Company's common stock valued at
approximately $2,835,000. The purchase price was allocated to the net assets
acquired based upon their estimated fair market values. The excess of the
purchase price over the estimated fair market value of the net assets acquired
amounted to $3,390,008, which is being accounted for as goodwill and is being
amortized over 20 years using a straight-line method.

Operating results of these acquired operations are included in the consolidated
financial statements from their respective dates of purchase.



3.  REDEMPTION OF WARRANTS

During February 1997, the Company called all of its outstanding Redeemable
Common Stock Purchase Warrants ("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 the Company of approximately $7,300,000. In
connection with the receipt of consent to the redemption, the Company agreed to
file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission with
respect to 60,000 units, issued to the underwriters' representatives in the
Company's 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 the Company of approximately $1,400,000.



4. PLAN OF REORGANIZATION

On August 30, 1991, the Company filed a petition for relief under Chapter 11 of
the federal bankruptcy laws in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the
Eastern District of Michigan (the "Bankruptcy Court").

On May 22, 1992, the Company's Third Amended Plan of Reorganization (the "Plan
of Reorganization") was confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court. The Plan of
Reorganization became effective after the close of business on June 30, 1992 and
the final decree which ordered the case closed was issued January 16, 1997. As
of December 31, 1997 and 1996 approximately $114,000 is recorded in accounts
payable, representing the final balance of all unpaid claims.

7.    LINES OF CREDIT

As of December 31, 1997, the Company had a credit agreement ("Agreement") with
NBD Bank ("NBD"). The Agreement provided for a revolving line of credit not to
exceed $12 million, a discretionary line of credit not to exceed $8 million and
a discretionary lease line not to exceed $500,000, collateralized by an
interest in all of the Company's accounts receivable, inventory (other than
equipment financed through IBM Credit) and equipment. Borrowing limits under
the revolving and discretionary lines were determined based on a collateral
formula. The revolving line of credit was to expire September 30, 1999 and the
discretionary line was to expire September 30, 1998. The Agreement also
contained certain covenants including minimum current ratio and leverage
ratios. The Company was not in compliance with the covenants as of December 31,
1997 but has obtained a waiver from NBD. The Company is currently negotiating a
replacement line of credit with NBD and investigating possible sources of
alternative financing. On June 15, 1998, the Company was verbally informed by
NBD that its borrowing level was temporarily capped, at approximately $6.7
million, pending completion of negotiations, and that it is currently in 
default under the Agreement. In the event that the Company is unable to
negotiate a new line of credit or is otherwise unable to borrow amounts
necessary to fund its operations, or if repayment of its obligations under the
current line of credit is demanded by NBD, the Company's financial position
would be materially and adversely affected. In such event, there can be no
assurance that the Company would be able to obtain alternative working capital
financing to continue its operations.
                    
The Company has also entered into a finance agreement with IBM Credit
Corporation. As of December 31, 1997, the agreement extended a maximum of
$2,000,000 to be used exclusively for the acquisition of inventory for resale,
limited to those products manufactured by Apple, Compaq, Hewlett Packard, IBM
and Lexmark. Use of this credit line is at the Company's option. As collateral
for payment of all debt incurred under this agreement, IBM Credit Corporation
was granted a first security interest in the Company's inventory equal to the
amount of the outstanding debt. This agreement allows for thirty (30) day
interest free financing of eligible inventory and a variable discount off of
invoice for eligible product purchases paid for within fifteen days from the
date of invoice. The Company or the lender can terminate this agreement at any
time. The terms and conditions of this financing agreement can be

changed at the discretion of IBM Credit Corporation. The amount outstanding at
December 31, 1997 is approximately $1.5 million and has been included in
accounts payable.

 In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers
whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax
assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is
dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in
which those temporary differences 

<PAGE>   27



become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax
liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in
making this assessment.


11. MAJOR CUSTOMERS (UNAUDITED)

The Company had one customer, the State of Michigan, which accounted for
approximately 30% and 24% of revenue in 1997 and 1996, respectively.


12. STOCK OPTION PLAN

In April 1994 the Company adopted the 1994 Stock Option Plan ("Plan"). A total
of 200,000 shares were reserved for issuance under the 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 October 1994, the Company granted options, in
connection with its initial public offering, for 58,016 shares exercisable at a
price of $4.75 per share, which was the fair market value at the date of grant.

In 1997,1996 and 1995, the Company granted options for 3,000 shares exercisable
at a price of $9.83, $4.00 and $3.00 per share, respectively, which was the fair
market value at the grant date, to the Directors of the Company. Such options
vest one year from the date of grant.

In April 1997, the Company amended the Plan to increase the reserved shares to
600,000. The vesting period in the Company's 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 grant date. The Company's
Compensation Committee retains the ability to change the vesting schedule at
any time. The per share weighted-average fair value of stock options granted
during 1997, 1996 and 1995 was $7.08, $2.59 and $2.07, respectively, on the
date of grant using the Black Scholes option-pricing model with the following
weighted average assumptions: expected dividend yield 0.0%, risk-free interest
rate of 6.5% in 1997 and 6.9% in 1996 and 1995, expected volatility of the
stock over the expected life 70% in 1997 and 30% in 1996 and 1995, and expected
life ranging from 7 to 10 years.

The Company applies intrinsic value accounting for its Plan and, accordingly, no
compensation cost has been recognized for its stock options in the financial
statements. Had the Company determined compensation cost based on the fair value
at the grant date for its stock options under SFAS No. 123, the Company's net
loss and loss per share would have been increased to the pro forma amounts
indicated below: (unaudited)

The pro forma information above only includes stock options granted in the years
ended December 31,1997, 1996 and 1995. Compensation expense under the fair value
based method of accounting will increase over the next few years as granted
stock options vest and additional stock option grants are considered.

13.  FORGIVENESS OF DEBT (UNAUDITED)

ing the course of 1995 and 1996, the Company negotiated with certain
creditors to accelerate the payment of unsecured debt in exchange for the
creditors' agreement to forgive a portion of the unsecured debt and contingent
liabilities and to cancel a portion of the fully paid warrants. Under the terms
of the 1992 Plan of Reorganization, the unsecured creditors were granted fully
paid warrants for 170,000 shares of the Company's authorized common stock and
contingent payments of up to a total of $650,000. This contingent liability was
not previously recorded, as the amount could not be reasonably estimated. As a
result of these extensive negotiations, the Company has purchased 


<PAGE>   29


approximately 110,000 warrants in 1995 and 10,400 in 1996. In addition, the
Company received the approval of the bankruptcy court to enter into an agreement
whereby all outstanding claims have been settled with aggregate payments of
approximately $114,000 and the contingent payments noted above have been
eliminated. The bankruptcy court issued its final decree on January 16, 1997.

The extraordinary gains of approximately $75,000 and $322,000 in 1996 and 1995,
respectively, represent the purchase of the warrants and the extinguishment of
the related debt.

14.   LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In February, March and April 1998 civil actions were filed against the Company,
certain officers, and the Board of Directors. The complaints allege violations
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 resulting from alleged nondisclosures and
misrepresentations of information concerning the Company's financial results and
future prospects due to accounting irregularities. Management is unable to
assess the potential amount of any liability resulting from such class action
lawsuits, however, management currently believes that the resolution of these
proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial
position or results of operations. It is reasonably possible that future events
and circumstances could alter management's belief, however.

15.   SUBSEQUENT EVENTS AND RESTATEMENT OF PRIOR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
      (UNAUDITED)
        
As announced on February 24, 1998, the Company became aware of certain
accounting errors and irregularities affecting previously issued financial
statements. Contemporaneously, the Company's independent accountants advised the
Company that their unqualified auditor's report on the Company's consolidated
financial statements as of December 31, 1996 and 1995 and for each of the years
ended in that two year period was being withdrawn and should no longer be relied
upon. On March 13, 1998, the Company's independent accountants informed the
Board of Directors that they were resigning.

In connection with their audits for the two most recent fiscal years and through
March 13 there were no disagreements between the Company and the independent
accountants 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 the independent accountants would have caused
them to make reference thereto in their report on the financial statements for
such fiscal years.

A special committee of the outside members of the Company's Board of Directors
has investigated the accounting errors and irregularities. All known adjustments
to the prior year financial statements have been reflected in the restated 1996
financial statements presented, although such restated statements remain
unaudited. The major adjustments to restate the 1996 financial statements are
summarized as follows: a $1,100,000 reduction in accounts receivable due to
credit memos issued in 1997 that relate to 1996 sales; a $2,200,000 reduction
in inventory due to obsolescence and accounting errors; a $450,000 reduction in
service parts due to obsolescence; and a $425,000 increase in the reserve for
uncollectable notes receivable.
