NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS:
Teletrac, Inc., a Delaware corporation, through its wholly-owned subsidiary,
Teletrac License, Inc. (collectively, the "Company"), controls licenses issued
by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to construct and operate radio
location networks for the purpose of locating, tracking and communicating with
commercial fleet and consumer vehicles as a result of its acquisition of
AirTouch Teletrac. As of March 31, 2000, the Company operated in twelve
metropolitan markets: Los Angeles, Chicago, Detroit, Dallas, Miami, Houston,
Orlando, San Francisco, San Diego, Sacramento, Washington D.C./Baltimore and New
York. The Company also uses its proprietary location systems to provide vehicle
location and stolen vehicle recovery services to consumers in its Los Angeles
and Miami markets. The networks consist primarily of antennas, transmission and
receiving equipment, customer-owned vehicle locating units (VLUs) that receive
and transmit signals, and operating centers that interpret and relay the
transmissions. Even though the Company has sold its networks in Washington
D. C., New York, Miami and Orlando, it has maintained ownership of the customers
on those networks.
On September 15, 1999, the Company's Plan of Reorganization was confirmed
by the United States Bankrutpcy Court and it was effective on September 29, 1999
(the "Reorganization"). As a result of the Reorganization, the recording of the
restructuring transaction and the implementation of Fresh Start Accounting, the
Company's results of operations after September 30, 1999 (the cutoff date used
for financial reporting purposes) are not comparable to results reported in
prior periods.
NOTE 2 - ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company. All
significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
The Company services the commercial market for use in fleet management and the
consumer market for individual vehicle tracking. The commercial systems include
VLUs, computer hardware, and vehicle tracking software. On January 1, 1997, the
Company changed revenue recognition on sales of commercial systems from
recognition upon shipment of the system to recognition of revenue upon
installation of the system, which more appropriately matches customer acceptance
and payment. The commercial service fee revenues are recognized monthly as the
services are provided. The VLUs for the consumer market are sold along with
monthly service contracts. Service revenues for the consumer market may be paid
in advance and are recognized monthly as earned.

NOTE 5 - SUBSEQUENT EVENT
As part of the Reorganization, the Company granted an option to Ituran USA to
purchase the networks in Miami and Orlando. The option was exercised by Ituran
USA and that transaction closed on May 8, 2000. The proceeds from the sale were
approximately $4.0 million and were used to pay back the $3,000,000 Senior
Secured Note.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
OVERVIEW
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations 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-1.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three Months Ended March 31, 2000 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 1999
Revenues. Total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2000 were
$7.2 million, compared to $10.5 million for the three months ended March 31,
1999.
Service revenues increased to $5.6 million for the three months ended March
31, 2000 from $5.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 1999, an
increase of 6%, primarily due to an increase in the average commercial service
revenue per vehicle application to $31.62 in March 2000 from $26.13 in March
1999. The increase is a direct result of rate increases on existing customers
and cancellation of unprofitable customers. Total commercial vehicle
applications in service at March 31, 2000 were 55,562 as compared to 62,003 on
March 31, 1999.
Equipment revenues decreased to $1.5 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2000 from $2.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 1999,
principally due to fewer sales during the period. The reduction in number of
sales was primarily due to a sharp reduction in direct sales personnel. Gross
commercial installations decreased to 2,943 vehicle applications for the three
months ended March 31, 2000 from 3,714 vehicle applications for the three months
ended March 31, 1999.
Other revenues decreased to $87,551 for the three months ended March 31,
2000 from $2.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and was a
result of the Company licensing its proprietary location and messaging solution
to an affiliate of Ituran Location and Control LTD, Teletrac's Israeli licensee.
The agreement permits Ituran's affiliate to market and operate Teletrac's
proprietary technology in Latin and South America and certain countries in
Eastern Europe.
Cost of Revenues. Cost of revenues includes the direct cost of providing
service (network telephone, billing, roadside assistance and bad debt expense).
Cost of revenues decreased to $738,680 for the three months ended March 31, 2000
from $900,002 million for the three months ended March 31, 1999. The decline is
related to the shutting down of the San Francisco / Sacramento network.
Cost of Equipment. Cost of equipment decreased to $1.1 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2000 from $2.0 million for the three months ended
March 31, 1999. Approximately $200,000 of bad debt accrual is included for the
three months ended March 31, 2000.
Research and Development, Engineering, Selling, General and Administrative
Expenses. Research and development, engineering, selling, general and
administrative expenses decreased by $3.8 million, to $5.7 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2000 from $9.5 million for the three months ended March
31, 1999. The Company has reduced expenses through significant reductions in
personnel along with the shutting down of the San Francisco/Sacramento network
and sale of the New York and Washington DC networks.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and Amortization decreased for
the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $0.4 million from $1.6 million for the
three months ended March 31, 1999, primarily due to a lower asset valuation on
the Reorganized Company in comparison to the predecessor Company.
<PAGE>
Operating Losses. Operating losses incurred by the Company were $0.7
million for the three months ended March 31, 2000, as compared to $3.4 million
for the three months ended March 31, 1999, for the reasons discussed above.
Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased to $0.7 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2000 from $3.9 million for the three months ended March
31, 1999. The decrease is a result of less debt being held on the Reorganized
Company relative to the Predecessor Company.
Net Loss. For the reasons discussed above, net loss decreased to $1.3
million for three months ended March 31, 2000 from $7.0 million for three months
ended March 31, 1999. No tax benefit has been recognized for any period due to
the uncertainty of net operating loss carry-forward utilization.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Capital expenditures were $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31,
2000, primarily for development of internal software applications. The Company
currently expects that its aggregate capital expenditures will be less than $2.0
million for 2000. These capital expenditures will consist primarily of costs
associated with internal software development, the maintenance of existing
markets, and other capital improvements.
On March 15, 2000, the Company elected the deferred interest provision on
its $15,000,000 Senior Note. The election provided for the issuance of $764,488
in the aggregate of Deferred Interest Notes.
As part of the Reorganization, the Company granted an option to Ituran USA
to purchase the networks in Miami and Orlando. The option was exercised by
Ituran USA and that transaction closed on May 8, 2000. The proceeds from the
sale were approximately $4.0 million and were used to pay back the $3,000,000
Senior Secured Note.
The Company believes, based on its business plan, that it has sufficient
capital in both the short and long-term to meet its business objectives, using
both the available cash and the Company's positive working capital position.
However, there is no assurance that the Company will not need additional capital
in the future.
INFLATION
The Company believes that to date inflation has not had a material effect
on its results of operations. Although inflation may in the future effect the
cost of VLU and messaging units sold by the Company, the Company expects that
technology and engineering improvements are likely to offset any foreseeable
cost increases.

SECTION 1.01. SALE OF ORLANDO ASSETS. (a) Subject to and in reliance
on the representations, warranties and agreements set forth herein and further
subject to Sections 1.02 and 1.03, and on the other terms and conditions set
forth herein, on the Orlando Closing Date (as hereinafter defined), the Sellers
shall sell, convey, transfer, assign and deliver to the Buyer and the Buyer
shall purchase from the Sellers, for the purchase price set forth in Articles II
and IV hereof, the following assets and properties of the Orlando Business,
except those assets excluded pursuant to paragraph (b) below (said assets and

(i) all tangible personal property, inventories, machinery,
equipment, supplies, tools and fixtures, including seventeen (17) Base
Stations, set forth on Schedule 1.01(a)(i) hereto;
(ii) the rights of the Sellers under all contracts,

indemnify Sellers for all of Sellers' contractual obligations under such
contracts to the extent provided in Article II of this Agreement.

expressly agree and acknowledge that the Orlando FCC Licenses relating to the

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, and except
as provided in Section 7.01 of this Agreement, Buyer and Sellers hereby agree

temporary relief in the event of any breach hereof.
(c) The parties acknowledge that the time, scope, geographic

non-competition agreement in order to induce Buyer to enter into this Agreement.
