INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND SHAREHOLDERS OF DSL GROUP LIMITED
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of DSL Group
Limited and subsidiaries at 31 December 1996 and the related consolidated
profit and loss account, consolidated statement of total recognised gains and
losses, reconciliation of movements in shareholders' funds and consolidated
cash flow statement for the period from 3 June 1996 (date of incorporation)
to 31 December 1996. These consolidated financial statements are the
responsibility of the management of DSL Group Limited. Our responsibility is
to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our
audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United Kingdom and in the United States of America. 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.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of DSL Group
Limited and subsidiaries at 31 December 1996 and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for the period from 3 June 1996 to 31
December 1996, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in
the United Kingdom.
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United Kingdom vary in
certain significant respects from accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America. Application of accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States would have affected profit attributable to
shareholders for the period from 3 June 1996 to 31 December 1996 and
shareholders' funds at 31 December 1996, to the extent summarised in Note 24
to the consolidated financial statements.

DSL GROUP LIMITED
NOTES
(forming part of the financial statements)
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following accounting policies have been applied consistently in
dealing with items which are considered material in relation to the group's
financial statements.
BASIS OF PREPARATION
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with applicable
accounting standards and under the historical cost accounting rules.
BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION
The group's financial statements consolidate the results of DSL Group
Limited and all its subsidiary undertakings with effect from the date of
acquisition on 31 July 1996 until 31 December 1996. In respect of associated
undertakings, the group includes its share of post acquisition profits and
losses in the consolidated profit and loss account and its share of post
acquisition retained profits or accumulated deficits in the consolidated
balance sheet.
The consolidated financial statements are based on the reported results of
subsidiary undertakings and associated undertakings, which are based on the
financial statements of these companies whose period ends are coterminous
with or end three months before those of the parent company, and on
management accounts where appropriate for the period from 1 October to 31
December 1996.
The acquisition method of accounting has been adopted. Under this method,
the results of subsidiary and associated undertakings acquired or disposed of
in the period are included in the consolidated profit and loss account from
the date of acquisition or up to the date of disposal. Goodwill arising on
consolidation (representing the excess of the fair value of the consideration
given over the fair value of the separable net assets acquired) is written
off against reserves on acquisition.
FIXED ASSETS AND DEPRECIATION
Depreciation is provided by the group to write off the cost less the
estimated residual value of tangible fixed assets by equal instalments over
their estimated useful economic lives as follows:
Freehold land and buildings -- not depreciated
Short leasehold land and buildings -- term of lease
Plant and machinery -- 20%-25% per annum
Fixtures and fittings -- 20% per annum
FOREIGN CURRENCIES
Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded using the rate of exchange
ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the rate of exchange
ruling at the balance sheet date and the gains or losses on translation are
included in the profit and loss account.
For consolidation purposes, the assets and liabilities of overseas
subsidiary undertakings and associated undertakings are translated at the
closing exchange rates and the profit and loss accounts are translated at the
average exchange rates. Exchange differences arising on these translations
are taken to reserves.
Subsidiaries operating in hyper-inflationary economies adjust the local
currency financial statements to reflect current price levels before
translation.

DSL GROUP LIMITED
NOTES (CONTINUED)
LEASES
Where the group enters into a lease which entails taking substantially all
the risks and rewards of ownership of an asset, the lease is treated as a
'finance lease'. The asset is recorded in the balance sheet as a tangible
fixed asset and is depreciated over its estimated useful life or the term of
the lease, whichever is shorter. Future instalments under such leases, net of
finance charges, are included within creditors. Rentals payable are
apportioned between the finance element, which is charged to the profit and
loss account, and the capital element which reduces the outstanding
obligation for future instalments.
All other leases are accounted for as 'operating leases' and the rental
charges are charged to the profit and loss account on a straight line basis
over the life of the lease.
PENSIONS
The group operates a defined contribution pension scheme. The assets of
the scheme are held separately from those of the group in an independently
administered fund. The amount charged against profits represents the
contributions payable to the scheme in respect of the accounting period.
TURNOVER
Turnover represents the amounts (excluding value added tax) derived from
the provision of goods and services to third party customers during the
period.
TAXATION
The charge for taxation is based upon the profit for the period and takes
into account deferred taxation on timing differences. Provision is made for
deferred taxation if there is reasonable evidence that such tax will be
payable in the foreseeable future.

24. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES BETWEEN UNITED KINGDOM AND UNITED
STATES OF AMERICA GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
The group's consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles applicable in the United
Kingdom (UK GAAP), which differ in certain significant respects from those
applicable in the United States of America (US GAAP). These differences,
together with the approximate effects of the adjustments on profit
attributable to shareholders and shareholders' funds, relate principally to
the items set out below:
(a) Goodwill
Under UK GAAP, goodwill arising from acquisitions is written off against
shareholders' funds. Under US GAAP, goodwill is capitalised and amortised
over its estimated useful life. For the purpose of calculating the
amortisation of goodwill a life of 20 years has been assumed.
(b) Deferred taxation
UK GAAP requires that no provision for deferred taxation should be made if
there is reasonable evidence that such taxation will not be payable in the
foreseeable future. Under US GAAP, deferred taxation is recognised under the
full liability method which permits deferred tax assets to be recognised if
their realisation is considered more likely than not.
(c) Cash flows
The principal difference between UK GAAP and US GAAP is in respect of
classification. Under UK GAAP, the group presents its cash flows for
operating activities, returns on investments and servicing of finance,
taxation, investing activities, and financing activities. US GAAP requires
only three categories of cash flow activities which are operating, investing
and financing. Cash flows arising from taxation and returns on investments
and servicing of finance under UK GAAP would, with the exception of dividends
paid, be included as operating activities under US GAAP; dividend payments
would be included as a financing activity under US GAAP. In addition, under
UK GAAP, cash and cash equivalents include short term borrowings which under
US GAAP would be presented as financing activities.
Approximate effect on profit attributable to shareholders of differences

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
31 MARCH 1996 AND 1995
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND SHAREHOLDERS OF DSL HOLDINGS LIMITED
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of DSL
Holdings Limited and subsidiaries as of 31 March 1996 and 1995, and the
related consolidated profit and loss accounts, consolidated statements of
total recognised gains and losses, reconciliations of movements in
shareholders' funds and consolidated cash flow statements for the years then
ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the
management of DSL Holdings Limited. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with Auditing Standards generally
accepted in the United Kingdom and in the United States of America. 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 audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of DSL
Holdings Limited and subsidiaries at 31 March 1996 and 1995, and the results
of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United
Kingdom.
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United Kingdom vary in
certain significant respects from accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America. Application of accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States would have affected profit attributable to
shareholders for each of the years in the two year period ended 31 March 1996
and shareholders' funds as of 31 March 1996 and 1995, to the extent
summarised in Note 24 to the consolidated financial statements.

NOTES
(forming part of the financial statements)
1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following accounting policies have been applied consistently in
dealing with items which are considered material in relation to the group's
financial statements.
BASIS OF PREPARATION
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with applicable
accounting standards and under the historical cost accounting rules.
BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION
The group's financial statements consolidate the results of DSL Holdings
Limited and all its subsidiary undertakings. In respect of associated
undertakings, the group includes its share of post acquisition profits and
losses in the consolidated profit and loss account and its share of post
acquisition retained profits or accumulated deficits in the consolidated
balance sheet.
The consolidated financial statements are based on the reported results of
subsidiary undertakings and associated undertakings, which are based on the
financial statements of these companies whose year ends are coterminous with
or end either three or six months before those of the parent company, and on
management accounts where appropriate for the period from 1 October to 31
March 1996.
For the year ended 31 March 1995 the results of the associate Jardine
Securicor Gurkha Services Limited were consolidated for the 26 month period
ended 31 March 1995. The first 14 months of results were immaterial to the
results of the group. In addition the results of the subsidiary Defence
Systems Colombia SA were consolidated for the 15 months ended 31 March 1995.
The first 3 months of results were immaterial to the results of the group.
Unless otherwise stated, the acquisition method of accounting has been
adopted. Under this method, the results of subsidiary and associated
undertakings acquired or disposed of in the year are included in the
consolidated profit and loss account from the date of acquisition or up to
the date of disposal. Goodwill arising on consolidation (representing the
excess of the fair value of the consideration given over the fair value of
the separable net assets acquired) is written off against reserves on
acquisition. Any excess of the aggregate of the fair value of the separable
net assets acquired over the fair value of the consideration given (negative
goodwill) is credited direct to reserves.
FIXED ASSETS AND DEPRECIATION
Depreciation is provided by the group to write off the cost less the
estimated residual value of tangible fixed assets by equal instalments over
their estimated useful economic lives as follows:
Freehold land and buildings -- not depreciated
Short leasehold land and buildings -- term of lease
Plant and machinery -- 20%-25% per annum
Fixtures and fittings -- 20% per annum
FOREIGN CURRENCIES
Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded using the rate of exchange
ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the rate of exchange
ruling at the balance sheet date and the gains or losses on translation are
included in the profit and loss account.
28
DSL HOLDINGS LIMITED
NOTES (CONTINUED)
For consolidation purposes, the assets and liabilities of overseas
subsidiary undertakings and associated undertakings are translated at the
closing exchange rates and the profit and loss accounts are translated at the
average exchange rates. Exchange differences arising on these translations
are taken to reserves.
Subsidiaries operating in hyper-inflationary economies adjust the local
currency statements to reflect current price levels before translation.
LEASES
Where the group enters into a lease which entails taking substantially all
the risks and rewards of ownership of an asset, the lease is treated as a
'finance lease'. The asset is recorded in the balance sheet as a tangible
fixed asset and is depreciated over its estimated useful life or the term of
the lease, whichever is shorter. Future instalments under such leases, net of
finance charges, are included within creditors. Rentals payable are
apportioned between the finance element, which is charged to the profit and
loss account, and the capital element which reduces the outstanding
obligation for future instalments.
All other leases are accounted for as 'operating leases' and the rental
charges are charged to the profit and loss account on a straight line basis
over the life of the lease.
PENSIONS
The group operates a defined contribution pension scheme. The assets of
the scheme are held separately from those of the group in an independently
administered fund. The amount charged against profits represents the
contributions payable to the scheme in respect of the accounting period.
TURNOVER
Turnover represents the amounts (excluding value added tax) derived from
the provision of goods and services to third party customers during the year.
STOCK
Consumable stock is stated at the lower of cost or net realisable value.
TAXATION
The charge for taxation is based upon the profit for the year and takes
into account deferred taxation on timing differences. Provision is made for
deferred taxation if there is reasonable evidence that such tax will be
payable in the foreseeable future.
2 RECLASSIFICATION OF EXPENSES
Expenses have been reclassified such that administrative expenses contains
the total administration expenses for the whole group.

23 ULTIMATE PARENT COMPANY AND PARENT UNDERTAKING OF LARGER GROUP
The company is an indirect subsidiary undertaking of Hambros PLC which is
the ultimate parent company, registered in England and Wales.
The only group in which the results of the company are consolidated is
that headed by Hambros PLC. The consolidated financial statements of the
group are available to the public and may be obtained from Hambros PLC, 41
Tower Hill, London, EC3 4HA.
24 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES BETWEEN UNITED KINGDOM AND UNITED
STATES OF AMERICA GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
The group's consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles applicable in the United
Kingdom (UK GAAP), which differ in certain significant
39
DSL HOLDINGS LIMITED
NOTES (CONTINUED)
respects from those applicable in the United States of America (US GAAP).
These differences, together with the approximate effects of the adjustments
on profit attributable to shareholders and shareholders' funds, relate
principally to the items set out below:
(a) Goodwill
Under UK GAAP, goodwill arising from acquisitions is written off against
shareholders' funds. Upon the subsequent disposal of a business, goodwill
previously written off is reinstated and considered in the calculation of the
gain or loss on disposal. Under US GAAP, goodwill is capitalised and
amortised over its estimated useful life. For the purpose of calculating the
amortisation of goodwill a life of 20 years has been assumed. Upon the
subsequent disposal of a business, unamortised goodwill is considered in the
calculation of the gain or loss on disposal.
(b) Deferred taxation
UK GAAP requires that no provision for deferred taxation should be made if
there is reasonable evidence that such taxation will not be payable in the
foreseeable future. Under US GAAP, deferred taxation is recognised under the
full liability method which permits deferred tax assets to be recognised if
their realisation is considered more likely than not.
(c) Cash flows
The principal difference between UK GAAP and US GAAP is in respect of
classification. Under UK GAAP, the group presents its cash flows for
operating activities, returns on investments and servicing of finance,
taxation, investing activities, and financing activities. US GAAP requires
only three categories of cash flow activities which are operating, investing
and financing. Cash flows arising from taxation and returns on investments
and servicing of finance under UK GAAP would be included as operating
activities under US GAAP. In addition, under UK GAAP, cash and cash
equivalents include short term borrowings which under US GAAP would be
presented as financing activities.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES BETWEEN UNITED KINGDOM AND UNITED
STATES OF AMERICA GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES. The group's
consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles applicable in the United Kingdom (UK GAAP),
which differ in certain significant respects from those applicable in the
United States of America (US GAAP). These differences, together with the
approximate effects of the adjustments on profit attributable to shareholders
and shareholders' funds, relate principally to the items set out below:
(a) Goodwill
Under UK GAAP, goodwill arising from acquisitions is written off against
shareholders' funds. Under US GAAP, goodwill is capitalized and amortized
over its estimated useful life. For the purpose of calculating the
amortization of goodwill, a life of 25 years has been assumed.
(b) Cash flows
The principal difference between UK GAAP and US GAAP is in respect of
classification. Under UK GAAP, the group presents its cash flows for
operating activities, returns on investments and servicing of finance,
taxation, investing activities, and financing activities. US GAAP requires
only three categories of cash flow activities which are operating, investing
and financing. Cash flows arising from taxation and returns on investments
and servicing of finance under UK GAAP would, with the exception of dividends
paid, be included as operating activities under US GAAP; dividend payments
would be included as a financing activity under US GAAP. In addition, under
UK GAAP, cash and cash equivalents include short term borrowings which under
US GAAP would be presented as financing activities.

(b) Pro Forma Financial Information.
The following unaudited pro forma financial information gives effect to
the Company's combination with DSL which was completed on April 16, 1997. The
DSL Transaction was accounted for as a pooling of interests and accordingly,
all previously issued financial statements of the Company will be restated to
include DSL, since DSL's inception on June 3, 1996. On August 1, 1996, DSL
acquired the assets of DSL Holdings in a transaction accounted for as a
purchase. The unaudited pro forma financial statements are derived from the
historical financial statements of the Company, DSL, and DSL Holdings and
estimates and assumptions set forth in the notes to the unaudited pro forma
financial statements.
The unaudited pro forma balance sheet gives effect to the combination of
the Company with DSL and the acquisition of DSL Holdings by DSL as if such
transactions had occurred on March 29, 1997. Such unaudited pro forma balance
sheet is derived from the unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Company
as of March 29, 1997 included in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB for the
three months ended March 29, 1997 which is incorporated by reference, as well
as the unaudited balance sheet of DSL as of March 31, 1997 included herein.
The unaudited pro forma income statements present unaudited pro forma
results of operations for the year ended December 28, 1996 and the three
months ended March 29, 1997. For purposes of the unaudited pro forma income
statements, the combination of the Company with DSL and the acquisition of DSL
Holdings by DSL are included as if such transactions had occurred on January 1,
1996. The unaudited pro forma income statement for the year ended December 28,
1996 is derived from the audited income statement of the Company for the year
ended December 28, 1996 included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB
for the year ended December 28, 1996, which is incorporated herein by
reference, the audited income statement of DSL for the period June 3, 1996
(inception) through December 31, 1996 included herein, and the unaudited
income statement of DSL Holdings for the period January 1, 1996 through
July 31, 1996. The unaudited pro forma income statement for the three months
ended March 29, 1997 is derived from the unaudited income statement of the
Company for the three months ended March 29, 1997 included in its Quarterly
Report on Form 10-QSB for the three months ended March 29, 1997 which is
incorporated herein by reference and the unaudited income statement of DSL
for the three months ended March 31, 1997 included herein.
These unaudited pro forma financial statements may not be indicative of
the results that actually would have occurred if the transaction referred to
above had been in effect on the dates indicated or the results that may be
obtained in the future.
