CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT Effective September 21, 2001, Docucon, Incorporated ("Registrant"), acting on the direction of its Board of Directors, approved the dismissal of Rothstein, Kass & Company, P.C. as the Company's independent accountants. The report of Rothstein, Kass & Company, P.C. on the Registrant's financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2000 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion nor was it qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, except for the last paragraph which raised substantial doubt about the Registrant's ability to continue as a going concern. In connection with the audit of the Registrant's financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2000, there were no disagreements with Rothstein, Kass & Company, P.C. on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statements disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Rothstein, Kass & Company, P.C., would have caused Rothstein, Kass & Company, P.C. to make reference to the matter in their report on the financial statements nor were there any reportable events. Rothstein, Kass & Company, P.C. has furnished the Registrant with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission indicating Rothstein, Kass & Company, P.C.'s agreement with the above statements. A copy of that letter is attached as an exhibit herein. Effective on September 21, 2001, Registrant retained the accounting firm of Ernst & Young, LLP to serve as its independent accountants to review or audit its financial statements beginning with the third quarter ending September 30, 2001. This engagement was effective September 21, 2001. Prior to its engagement as Registrant's independent auditors, Ernst & Young, LLP had not been consulted by Registrant either with respect to the application of accounting principles to a specific transaction or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on Registrant's financial statements or on any other matter that was the subject of any prior disagreement between Registrant and Registrant's previous certifying accountants. ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS On September 6, 2001, Registrant's Board of Directors entered into a Letter Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1, which amends and updates the terms of the proposed public combination of Registrant with Digital Visions Systems, Inc., a Nevada corporation ("DVS"), which Registrant reported on Form 8-K on April 3, 2001. The new terms of the proposed reverse merger provide that the current shareholders of DVS will own 92.5% of the combined entity. Registrant's shareholders will receive no warrants. All costs associated with the public combination will be paid by DVS, and any such payment will be credited towards the DVS' capital requirement of $2.5 million. Registrant and DVS intend to conclude the merger by December 30, 2001. With the exception of historical information described above, this report includes forward looking statements made under the "Safe Harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements involve substantial risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. ITEM 7.

Schwartz, President & CEO Docucon, Inc. 8 Airport Park Blvd. Latham, NY 11201 Re: Proposed Combination of Docucon, Inc. & Digital Vision Systems, Inc. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear Mr. Schwartz: This Letter Agreement amends and restates the Letter Agreement dated March 30, 2001, which proposed the corporate combination of Digital Vision Systems, Inc., a Texas corporation ("DVS") and Docucon, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("DOCU") ("DVS" and "DOCU" shall collectively be referred to herein as the "Parties" and each separately as a "Party"). Upon the review of various issues, including the financial position of the parties, DVS proposes the following updated terms and various matters to be provided for in the definitive merger agreement and plan of reorganization between DVS and DOCU: 1. CORPORATE REORGANIZATION It is intended that DVS and DOCU shall enter into a corporate combination (the "Public Combination"), whether through a merger, acquisition or other type of corporate combination, which will be determined at a later date by which the current shareholders of DVS will obtain shares of common stock of DOCU, such that the former DVS stockholders shall own 92.5% of DOCU common stock, par value $.01 per share ("Common Stock"), after receipt of the financing discussed in paragraph 7 below. In calculating the foregoing percentage, it is assumed that ownership percentages are determined by references to fully diluted, as if converted common shares outstanding for both DOCU and DVS. Through the Public Combination, DVS shall become a wholly-owned subsidiary of DOCU. As a condition, and prior, to the Public Combination, DOCU will adjust its capitalization to accommodate the agreed upon percentage and provide adequate shares for future corporate purposes. Upon completion of the Public Combination, there shall up to seven directors divided into three classes. Each director shall serve for three year terms. The Class 1 directors shall be Docucon, Inc. 09/21/01 Page 2 up for election at the first annual stockholders meeting after the Public Combination, the Class 2 directors shall be up for election at the second annual stockholders meeting after the Public Combination, and the Class 3 director shall be up for election at the third annual stockholders meeting after the Public Combination. DOCU shall appoint a Class 1 director and a Class 3 director. After the Public Combination, there shall be in effect (i) a directors' and officers' liability insurance policy with at least substantially the same coverage which DOCU currently provides and (ii) directors' and officers' liability tail insurance policy with respect to claims arising from facts or events which occurred on or before the Public Combination. For agreeing to continue as a director after the Public Combination and for prior compensation to DOCU, Robert Schwartz shall receive 0.5% of the total Common Stock post-merger out of the Common Stock percentage to be retained by DOCU's shareholders. All costs associated with the Public Combination will be advanced by DVS, including but not limited to the legal fees and filing fees associated with the preparation of the definitive merger agreement and plan of reorganization, the regulatory filings and the administration of the Special Meeting of Shareholders. Any amount that was advanced by DVS under this provision will be credited towards the DVS' capital requirement under Section 7 below. 2. DUE DILIGENCE a) From the date hereof, each Party will make available to the other Party for review their respective financial statements, books, records, corporate documents and other information as the other Party may reasonably request, and each party shall have the opportunity to meet with attorneys, accountants and key personnel of the other Party to discuss the financial and business conditions of the respective party and to make whatever future independent investigation deemed necessary and prudent. The Parties agree to cooperate with each other in complying with these requests and providing such materials as the other party may request. b) Each party shall make appropriate representations in a definitive merger agreement ("Merger Agreement") that it has fully and independently satisfied itself on all aspects of the other Party's business, including but not limited to financial statements, books and records. c) Each party shall represent and agree that all confidential information which each Party or any of its officers, employees, agents, consultants, or representatives, may possess or may receive in the future pertaining to the financial or other condition of the other Party, shall not be disclosed or made available to any other person or entity other than current members of the Board of Directors, officers, employees, agents, consultants, or representatives at any time without the express written consent of the other Party.
