NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION.
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements of Teletrac, Inc.
and subsidiary ("Teletrac" or the "Company") included herein have been
prepared by the Company without audit, pursuant to the rules and regula-
tions of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") and
reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary
to fairly present the financial position, results of operations, and cash
flows for the interim periods. Teletrac Holdings, Inc. and Teletrac, Inc.
completed an exchange agreement on August 6, 1997, whereby stockholders of
Teletrac, Inc. exchanged common and preferred stock of Teletrac, Inc. for
common and preferred stock of Teletrac Holdings, Inc. This transaction was
accounted for as a combining of interests under common control, similar to
a pooling of interests. Certain information and footnote disclosures
normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accor-
dance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or
omitted pursuant to such SEC rules and regulations. Management believes
that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented
not misleading. The results for interim periods are not necessarily
indicative of the results for the full year. The interim financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and
notes thereto contained in the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-
4.
NOTE 2 - LONG-TERM DEBT
In August 1997, the Company issued $105.0 million of 14% Senior Notes due
August 1, 2007 (the "Notes"). Gross proceeds of the Notes were approxi-
mately $61.4 million in unrestricted funds and $39.9 million in restricted
funding allocated for the first three years of interest payments on the
Notes. The Notes were issued with 105,000 detachable warrants (the
"Warrants"). Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase .537495 shares
(collectively, the "Warrant Shares") of the Company's Class A Common Stock
at an exercise price of $.01 per share, currently representing 10% of the
Class A Common Stock on a fully diluted basis. The Warrants have been
valued at $7.04 million. The discount of $7.04 million is being accreted
over the life of the Notes. The Company has recorded in other assets
approximately $4.4 million of deferred financing costs which are being
amortized over the life of the Notes. The Notes accrue interest until
maturity at a rate of 14% per annum. Interest on the Notes will be payable
semi-annually in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year, commenc-
ing on February 1, 1998.
<PAGE>
<PAGE #>
In September 1997, the Company entered into an agreement to establish
revolving credit facilities (the "Revolvers") in the aggregate principal
amount of $30.0 million expiring on March 31, 2003. Pursuant to this
agreement, the Company issued 5,707 warrants to purchase one share each of
the Company Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $202 per share.
The Company has recorded in other assets approximately $816,000 of deferred
financing costs which are being amortized over the life of the Revolvers.
The Revolvers have a .500% commitment fee rate based on the total principal
amount, paid quarterly. To date, the Company has made no draws against the
Revolvers.
In September 1997, the Company increased the Warrant Shares of the Senior
Notes to purchase an additional 634 shares of Class A Common Stock. The
additional Warrant Shares were issued subject to the Senior Note agreement
having allocated 10% of Class A Common Stock, on a fully diluted basis, to
the holders of the Notes. The need to issue the additional shares arose
from the issuance of Warrants to the participating banks involved in the
Revolvers agreement.

ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND
FINANCIAL CONDITION.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and
Financial Condition contain forward-looking statements which involve risks
and uncertainties. The Company's actual results may differ significantly
from the results discussed in forward-looking statements. Factors that
might cause such a difference include, but are not limited to, the "Risk
Factors" set forth in the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-4.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 1996
REVENUES. Total revenues for the three months ended September
30, 1997 were $7.3 million, compared to $4.4 million in the third quarter
of 1996, an increase of 66%.
Equipment revenues increased to $4.0 million for the three months
ended September 30, 1997 from $2.1 million for the three months ended
September 30, 1996, an increase of 90%, principally due to an increase in
the Company's commercial sales efforts. Gross commercial installations
increased to 8,141 units for the three months ended September 30, 1997 from
4,727 units for the three months ended September 30, 1996.
Service revenues increased to $3.4 million for the three months
ended September 30, 1997 from $2.3 million for the three months ended
September 30, 1996, an increase of 48%, primarily due to an increase in the
number of commercial units in service, to 61,369 at September 30, 1997
from 40,589 at September 30, 1996. Also, the average commercial service
revenue per unit increased to $16.93 in September 1997 from $15.55 in
September 1996 as a result of adherence to fixed airtime rates and an
increase in ancillary services.
COST OF REVENUES. Cost of revenues includes the cost of equip-
ment and the direct cost of providing service (network telephone, billing,
roadside assistance and bad debt expense). Cost of revenues increased to
$3.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 1997 from $2.0
million for the three months ended September 30, 1996 primarily as a result
of the higher number of new units sold and in service.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general
and administrative expenses increased by $3.1 million, to $8.4 million for
the three months ended September 30, 1997 from $5.3 million for the three
months ended September 30, 1996. The increase was primarily related to
increased sales personnel for<PAGE>
<PAGE #>
the commercial operations, the funding of new product development and
increased support for the growth of the customer base. The Company
expensed $0.8 million in the three months ended September 30, 1997 relating
to research and development for its new Integrated Base Station Unit
(IBSU).
REFREQUENCING COSTS. Refrequencing costs were not accrued for
the three months ended September 30, 1997 since all units placed in service
in 1997 are operating on the new frequency.
DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION. Depreciation and Amortization
increased for the three months ended September 30, 1997 to $0.8 million
from $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 1996, primarily
due to depreciation on additional assets related to the new market build-
out and additional infrastructure in existing markets.
OPERATING LOSSES. Operating losses incurred by the Company were
$5.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 1997, as compared to
$3.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 1996, for the reasons
discussed above.
NET LOSS. For the reasons discussed above, net loss increased to
$7.3 million for three months ended September 30, 1997 from $3.5 million
for three months ended September 30, 1996. No tax benefit has been
recognized for any period due to the uncertainty of net operating loss
carry-forward utilization.
NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEM-
BER 30, 1996
REVENUES. Total revenues for the nine months ended September
30, 1997 were $18.7 million, compared to $10.3 million for the nine months
ended September 30 1996, an increase of 82%.
Equipment revenues increased to $9.6 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 1997 from $3.9 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996, an increase of 146%, principally due to an increase in
gross commercial installations to 23,371 units for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 from 9,170 units for the nine months ended September 30,
1996.
Service revenues increased to $9.1 million for nine months ended
September 30, 1997 from $6.5 million for nine months ended September 30,
1996, an increase of 40%, primarily due to an increase in the number of
commercial units in service, to 61,369 at September 30, 1997 from 40,589
at September 30, 1996. Also, the average commercial service revenue per
unit increased to $16.93 in September 1997 from $15.55 in September 1996.
<PAGE>
<PAGE #>
COST OF REVENUES. Costs of revenues includes the cost of
equipment and the direct cost of providing service (network telephone,
billing, roadside assistance and bad debt expense). Cost of revenues
increased to $9.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 from
$3.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 primarily as a
result of the higher number of new units sold. In addition, the Company
incurred $0.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 on
telephone costs associated with installing and maintaining its networks in
markets that are not yet opened.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general
and administrative expenses increased by $13.3 million, to $26.7 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 from $13.4 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 1996. The increase was primarily related
to increased sales personnel for the commercial operations, the funding of
new product development and increased support for the growth of the
customer base. The Company expensed $2.9 million in the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 that primarily relates to research and development for
its new IBSU.
REFREQUENCING COSTS. Refrequencing costs were not accrued for
the nine months ended September 30, 1997 since all units placed in service
in 1997 are operating on the new frequency.
DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION. Depreciation and Amortization
increased for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 to $1.8 million from
$0.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1996, primarily due to
depreciation on additional assets related to the new market build-out and
additional infrastructure in existing markets.
OPERATING LOSSES. Operating losses incurred by the Company were
$18.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, as compared to
$8.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1996, for the reasons
discussed above.
NET LOSS. For the reasons discussed above, net loss increased to
$20.1 million for nine months ended September 30, 1997 from $8.3 million
for nine months ended September 30, 1996. No tax benefit has been recog-
nized for any period due to the uncertainty of net operating loss carry-
forward utilization.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Capital expenditures were $8.9 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997, primarily for the build-out of the Company's networks
in new markets. The Company currently expects that its aggregate capital
expenditures (excluding the acquisition of spectrum rights) will be $14.8
million for 1997<PAGE>
<PAGE #>
and an aggregate $17 million for both 1998 and 1999 combined. These
capital expenditures will consist primarily of costs associated with the
opening of new markets in 1997 and 1998. In addition, the Company's
capital expenditure plans include network design and development, the
maintenance of existing markets, and other capital improvements.
In September 1997, the Company entered into an agreement to
establish revolving credit facilities (the "Revolvers") in the aggregate
principal amount of $30.0 million expiring on March 31, 2003. The Company
issued 5,707 warrants to purchase one share each of the Company Class A
Common Stock at an exercise price of $202 per share. The Company has
recorded in other assets approximately $816,000 of deferred financing costs
which are being amortized over the life of the Revolvers. The revolvers
have a .500% commitment fee rate based on the total principal amount, paid
quarterly. To date, the Company has made no draws against the Revolvers.
