                           --------------------------


ANNAPOLIS,  MD,  SEPTEMBER  10,  1996  -  Forensic  Technologies   International
Corporation  (NASDAQ:FTIC) announced today its agreement to merge with Teklicon,
Inc., a privately held high-tech consulting firm headquartered in Mountain View,
Ca.

Teklicon provides expert witness, assessment,  valuation, analysis and strategic
consulting   servies   in  the   areas   of   microchip,   computer,   software,
telecommunication  and  related  technologies,   primarily  in  connection  with
intellectual   property   issues.   Teklicon's   clients  include  domestic  and
international  law firms and attorneys who represent large  multi-national  high
technology  companies such as Intel, Texas Instruments,  Packard Bell,  Hyundai,
Nintendo and Mitsuishi.

For its fiscal year ended March 31, 1996, Teklicon's revenues were approximately
$3.1 million.  In consideration for the merger, FTI will issue 415,000 shares of
unregistered  FTI  common  stock to the sole  stockholder  of  Teklicon.  In the
transaction,  which will be accounted  for as a pooling of  interests,  Teklicon
will merge with and then  continue to operate as a  wholly-owned  subsidiary  of
FTI.

One of Teklicon's key employees,  Marcian (Ted) Hoff, is generally credited with
the invention of the microprocessor for Intel Corporation 25 years ago. He is to
be inducted into the Inventors Hall of Fame in October of this year.

Gary Summers,  President of Teklicon,  said, "This merger provides Teklicon with
broader resources to better serve its multi-national clients in the fast growing
area  of  high  technology  litigation  support.   FTI's  visual  communications
capabilities  are a  natural  complement  to  the  efforts  of  our  experts  in
analyzing, evaluating and explaining complex technology."

FTI  announced  that  Lillian  Romano has joined the  company  and will open its
Stamford,  Connecticut  office  to serve  new York and the  Northeast.  A visual
communication  consultant,  Ms. Romano brings six years of extensive  experience
supporting trial teams in major litigation  matters.  On joining FTI, Ms. Romano
said, "I look forward to introducing  FTI's broad range of servies and solutions
to clients who perhaps have not had the opportunity to experience the integrated
services approach.  The New York market should be especially  receptive to FTI's
corporate 'key account' philosophy."

FTI's Chief Executive  officer and President,  Jack Dunn, said "Our game plan is
to grow by continuing  to offer our clients the 'best' in our industry,  whether
it is experts, client service, research or technology.  The merger with Teklicon
and the association with Gary Summers, Ted Hoff and Lillian Romano, coupled with
our recently announced acquisition of Anamet Laboratories and strategic alliance
with  Docucon  Inc.'s  JFS  Litigator's  Notebook  (trademark),   are  not  only
considtent  with that plan,  they have  accelerated our pace and underscored our
commitment to excellence."

FTI is a leading  provider  of  litigation  support  services  including  visual
communications,  engineering services and trial consulting to major corporations
and law firms in the United States.  The company is  headquartered in Annapolis,
Md and also  has  offices  in Los  Angeles,  Chicago,  Houston,  San  Francisco,
