That sounds like a standard paternity test, which uses 15-20 markers. A percentage like that means that every value in the child can be found in the father. Because many independent markers are tested and each marker has many different possible values, it's almost impossible for that to happen unless the man is the father.
If you have access to the actual report, you can check this out. For example, one marker is TH01. If the father has values of 7 & 9.3 and the child has values of 8 & 9.3, the 9.3 came from the father and the 8 came from the mother.
The exceptions are very, very rare, but it has been known to happen if the man has a brother who could also be the father. In that case, an extended paternity test with more markers can be ordered. Two brothers can be alike for some markers, but sooner or later they will be different (unless they are identical twins).
