[LETTERHEAD OF ODETICS APPEARS HERE]

                                                          February 22, 2000

Dear Odetics Stockholder:

   On December 17, 1999, Odetics ITS announced that it was changing its name to
Iteris Inc. On December 20, 1999, Iteris announced that it filed a registration
statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the initial public
offering of 4,300,000 shares of Iteris common stock, 4,173,616 of which will be
sold by Iteris and 126,384 of which will be sold by certain selling
stockholders. Also on December 20, 1999, Odetics announced that it intended to
spin-off its ownership in Iteris to the holders of Odetics Class A and Class B
common stock. I am pleased to report that Odetics Inc. is taking the final
steps to complete the spin-off of Iteris. The spin-off is being completed
through the distribution of 11,249,493 shares of Iteris common stock by Odetics
as a stock dividend to the Odetics stockholders of record on the date that the
Iteris registration statement is declared effective by the SEC, which we expect
to be on or about March16, 2000.

   The spin-off of Iteris is consistent with Odetics' incubator strategy and
will provide Iteris with greater access to capital, enabling it to expand more
quickly and efficiently than it would as a subsidiary of Odetics. The attached
Information Statement provides greater detail regarding the spin-off of Iteris.
In connection with the spin-off, there are a few items I would like to bring to
your attention:

  .  Odetics common stockholders will receive approximately 1.123 shares of
     Iteris common stock for every one share of Odetics common stock owned by
     them. Class A and Class B Odetics stockholders will be treated
     identically for purposes of the dividend distribution. Odetics
     stockholders will automatically receive the stock dividend and do not
     need to take any action.

  .  At the request of the underwriters of the Iteris initial public offering
     and as a condition to the spin-off and the Iteris initial public
     offering, all shares of Iteris common stock that we distribute to you in
     the spin-off will contain a restrictive legend and stop transfer
     instructions will be placed with the Iteris transfer agent restricting
     the public sale of such shares until 180 days after the date of the
     prospectus delivered in connection with the Iteris initial public
     offering.

  .  The shares of Iteris to which you are entitled will be distributed by
     EquiServe LP, our distribution agent, for purposes of effecting the
     dividend. If your shares of Odetics common stock are held in the name of
     a stock broker or other nominee, your shares of Iteris Common Stock and
     the payment for any fractional shares will be credited to such broker or
     other nominee. We expect that Iteris common stock distributed in the
     spin-off will be traded on the Nasdaq National Market system under the
     symbol "ITER" after the 180 day restriction period and that the spin-off
     will be completed on or about March 17, 2000, the first business day
     following the record date.

  .  We have received a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service confirming
     that, for federal income tax purposes, Odetics stockholders will not
     recognize a gain or a loss or any taxable income from the stock
     dividend--except to the extent that cash is received instead of
     fractional shares. The continuing validity of the IRS tax ruling is
     subject to various factual representations and assumptions.

   The enclosed Information Statement contains information about the spin-off
of Iteris and about Iteris' business, management, and financial performance. We
encourage you to review the attached materials carefully. If you have any
questions please call Gregory Miner, Chief Operating Officer and Chief
Financial Officer of Odetics, at (714) 758-0200.

                                          Sincerely,

                                          /s/ JOEL SLUTZKY

To Our Future Stockholders:

   On or about March 17, 2000, you will become a stockholder of Iteris, Inc. as
a result of the spin-off of Iteris from Odetics, Inc. As an independent

be able to grow more quickly and efficiently. Immediately following the spin-
off, we expect to complete an initial public offering of 4,300,000 shares of
our common stock, 4,173,616 of which will be sold by us to raise the equity
capital desired to implement our business strategy.

   We are furnishing you with this information statement in connection with the
spin-off by Odetics, Inc. of 11,249,493 shares of Iteris, Inc. common stock
held by Odetics (representing all of the equity interests in our company owned
by Odetics and approximately 93% of our outstanding common stock prior to the
proposed initial public offering of 4,173,616 shares to be sold by us) to
stockholders of Odetics. All shares of common stock distributed by Odetics in
the spin-off will contain a restrictive legend and be subject to stop transfer
instructions with our transfer agent, restricting the public sale of such
shares until 180 days after the date of the prospectus delivered in connection
with our initial public offering.

   Odetics will accomplish the spin-off by distributing all shares of our
common stock it holds to holders of record of Odetics Class A and Class B
common stock as of the date on which our registration statement for our initial
public offering is declared effective by the SEC, which we expect to be on or
about March 16, 2000. On the first business day following the record date,

distributed in the spin-off will be traded on the Nasdaq National Market under
the symbol "ITER" after the 180 day restriction period.

                                    SUMMARY

   This summary highlights information found in greater detail elsewhere in
this information statement. In addition to this summary, we urge you to read
the entire information statement carefully, including the risks of owning our
common stock discussed under "Risk Factors."

                                  ITERIS, INC.

Our Company

   We design, develop, market and implement software based solutions that
improve the safety and efficiency of vehicle transportation. Using our
proprietary software and industry expertise, we are a leading provider of video
sensor systems and transportation management and traveler information systems
for the intelligent transportation systems, or ITS, industry. The ITS industry
is comprised of companies applying a variety of technologies to enable the safe
and efficient movement of people and goods. Our systems and solutions are
designed to address three critical demands of vehicle transportation: improving
vehicle safety, reducing traffic congestion and increasing the availability of
personalized traveler information.

   According to the U.S. Department of Transportation and the National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration, more than six million motor vehicle accidents
occurred in the United States in 1998. Accidents in 1998 resulted in more than
40,000 fatalities, approximately 39.4% of which were related to drivers
departing unintentionally from their designated lanes according to NHTSA. To
help prevent accidents caused by unintended lane departures, we developed
AutoVue, a small windshield mounted sensor that detects and warns drivers of
unintended lane departures. AutoVue is currently being installed in heavy
trucks for pre-production testing and marketed to passenger car and light and
medium truck manufacturers.

   There were more than 200 million vehicles in operation in the United States
in 1998 according to Automotive News. The U.S. DOT estimated that in 1996
drivers on U.S. highways spent more than two billion hours in traffic
congestion. According to a study conducted for the U.S. DOT, traffic congestion
cost the American public $72 billion in 1997 in lost time and wasted fuel. As
an alternative to expanding a substantially built-out infrastructure of
highways, transportation agencies are turning to ITS to increase the efficiency
of the existing highway infrastructure. As a result, we developed our Vantage
video vehicle sensing systems to detect the presence of vehicles at signalized
intersections, enabling an efficient allocation of green signal time. In
addition, our transportation management and traveler information systems enable
traffic managers to monitor transportation networks in real-time and to
implement corrective actions to relieve traffic congestion.

   Each of our AutoVue and Vantage systems incorporate our proprietary software
algorithms designed to maximize the accuracy of outdoor video imaging. We have
entered into strategic relationships with DaimlerChrysler Corporation and its
subsidiary, Freightliner Corporation, to jointly develop software applications
for AutoVue and to install AutoVue in their heavy trucks. We also intend to
sell AutoVue to manufacturers for installation on passenger cars and light and
medium trucks. We believe AutoVue is currently the only commercially-available
unintended lane departure warning system for vehicles and Vantage is a market
leader for video vehicle detection systems in the United States.

   In addition to focusing on vehicle safety and traffic congestion, drivers
are increasingly demanding the availability of timely and accurate traffic
information. Traditionally, traffic information has been provided over the
radio and more recently over the Internet. Our transportation management and
traveler information systems enable the dissemination of information on current
traffic conditions through changeable message signs, radio, telephone, cable
television, paging networks and the Internet. We also are developing
personalized traveler information services that will be customized to the
travel patterns and information needs of individual travelers, to be delivered
in real-time through personal digital assistants, or PDAs, cellular telephones,
pagers, the mobile Internet and in-vehicle computers.

   We are one of only two companies awarded a contract to develop and maintain
the National ITS Architecture, a federal program designed to create a single
national architecture to enable seamless communication among ITS systems. We
believe our involvement in the National ITS Architecture provides us with
unique vision and insight into emerging market trends and product opportunities
and a significant competitive market advantage. We have the experience to
design and implement transportation management systems that perform the
functions necessary to conform with the National ITS Architecture. Through the
training programs we conduct on the Architecture, we have developed strong
relationships and credibility with national, regional, state and local
transportation agencies responsible for managing funds allocated for
ITS systems.

   We have assembled an experienced management team and board of directors
focused on the ITS industry. Our management team and board of directors include
two former U.S. Secretaries of Transportation, a former Deputy Insurance
Commissioner for the State of California, a former General Manager for the

Corporate Information

   We were formed in 1994 as a division of Odetics, Inc., a publicly-held
company based in Anaheim, California that serves as an incubator for
technology-oriented businesses. We were incorporated as Odetics ITS, Inc. in
October 1998 as a California corporation and will be reincorporated in Delaware
as Iteris, Inc. in January 2000. On December 17, 2000, we filed an initial
registration statement on Form S-1 to register          shares of our common
stock that we intend to issue in an underwritten public offering. Odetics
currently owns approximately 93% of our outstanding common stock. Immediately
prior to and conditional upon the effectiveness of our registration statement
filed in connection with our initial public offering, Odetics will distribute
to its stockholders all of the outstanding common stock of our company owned by
Odetics in a tax-free spin-off. The shares distributed in the spin-off will not
be publicly transferable until 180 days after the date of our prospectus
delivered in connection with our initial public offering. In preparation for
the spin-off, we will enter into the following agreements with Odetics:
separation and distribution agreement, services agreement, tax allocation
agreement, promissory note and technology license agreement. Please see
"Arrangements with Odetics."

Questions and Answers About Us and the Spin-Off

Why is Iteris being spun-off by   .  The Board of Directors of Odetics believes
   Odetics?                          that the spin-off will accomplish a number
                                     of important business objectives and, by
                                     enabling Iteris and Odetics to develop
                                     their respective businesses separately,
                                     should better position the companies to
                                     produce greater stockholder value over the
                                     long term. As a separate company, we will
                                     be better able to focus on our own
                                     strategic priorities and to have more
                                     efficient access to the capital markets
                                     than we could as part of Odetics. We
                                     believe that the spin-off will enable our
                                     business to grow more quickly and
                                     efficiently in the following ways:

                                     .  Our business has different
                                        fundamentals, growth characteristics
                                        and strategic priorities than the
                                        business conducted by Odetics. The
                                        separation of our business from those
                                        of Odetics will enable us to focus on
                                        our own strategic priorities, which
                                        should increase our ability to
                                        capitalize on growth opportunities for
                                        our business and enhance our ability
                                        to respond more quickly to changes in
                                        the markets that we serve.

                                     .  The spin-off will enable us to enhance
                                        our access to the capital markets by
                                        allowing the financial community to
                                        focus separately on our business. For
                                        instance, we expect to complete our
                                        initial public offering of shares of
                                        our common stock immediately after the
                                        spin-off. Through both public and
                                        private sales of our securities, we
                                        intend to raise our own equity capital
                                        that we will use to repay debt to
                                        Odetics, expand our sales and
                                        marketing activities, fund
                                        acquisitions or

                                     .  The spin-off will enable us to
                                        recruit, retain and motivate key
                                        employees by providing them with
                                        stock-based compensation incentives
                                        directly tied to the success of our
                                        separated business.

What will I receive in the
 spin-off?                        .  Odetics will distribute approximately
                                     1.123 shares of our common stock for every
                                     one share of Class A and/or Class B common

                                     record date for the spin-off. For example,
                                     if you own 100 shares of Odetics Class A
                                     or Class B common stock, you will receive
                                     112 shares of our common stock. You will
                                     continue to own your Odetics common stock.
                                     None of the shares distributed in the
                                     spin-off will be publicly tradable until
                                     180 days after the date of our prospectus
                                     delivered in connection with our initial

                                     distribution agent. As promptly as
                                     practicable after the spin-off, the

                                     on the date that our registration

                                     expect to be on or about March 16, 2000.

                                     your shares of Odetics stock for you. We

                                     Iteris common stock into your own name to

                                     distributed. Fractional shares will be
                                     aggregated and upon receipt by the
                                     distribution agent of an amount equal to
                                     the aggregate fair market value of such
                                     shares will be cancelled. Your portion of
                                     such deposited amount will be distributed
                                     to you promptly after the spin-off.
                                     Although the spin-off is intended to be
                                     tax-free, stockholders will recognize gain
                                     or loss for tax purposes in an amount
                                     equal to the difference between the cash
                                     received in respect of any fractional
                                     share and the amount of such stockholder's
                                     tax basis allocable to such fractional
                                     share.

What is the dividend policy       .  We currently anticipate that no cash

                                     stock. However, the declaration and
                                     payment of dividends will be at the sole
                                     discretion of our board of directors after
                                     taking into account various factors
                                     including our financial condition,
                                     operating results, current and anticipated
                                     cash needs and plans for expansion.

How does Iteris common stock      .  Iteris common stock and Odetics common
 differ from Odetics common          stock will be different securities and
 stock?                              will not trade or be valued alike. We will
                                     be separate companies, with different
                                     management, fundamentals, growth
                                     characteristics and strategic priorities.
                                     However, as with Odetics Class A common
                                     stock, Iteris common stock will have the
                                     following characteristics:

                                     .  be fully paid and nonassessable;

                                     .  have one vote per share, with no right
                                        to cumulate votes; and

                                     .  carry no preemptive rights.

                                     Iteris common stock will differ from
                                     Odetics Class B common stock with respect
                                     to voting rights only.

                                    common stock will reflect the value of the

 United States federal              Internal Revenue Service (IRS) stating
 income tax purposes?               that the spin-off will be tax-free to
                                    Odetics and to Odetics' stockholders. The

                              RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

   On January 25, 2000, we entered into a subordinated convertible note
purchase agreement in which DaimlerChrysler Venture invested $3.75 million that
shall automatically convert immediately prior to the closing of our initial
public offering into approximately 2.5% of our outstanding common stock after
the offering. This investment enhances our strategic relationship with
DaimlerChrysler. As part of the agreement, DaimlerChrysler Venture has agreed
to facilitate the adoption of AutoVue in DaimlerChrysler's commercial vehicles
and passenger cars. In addition, DaimlerChrysler Venture will also support our
efforts to develop a personalized traveler information system targeted at
DaimlerChrysler's customer base. This investment is the first of its kind by
DaimlerChrysler Venture in North America. It is seen as a model for future
investments in U.S. firms with advanced technologies that are of strategic
importance to DaimlerChrysler.

   The number of shares of common stock into which the promissory note is
convertible will fluctuate depending on the number of shares sold by us in our
initial public offering and the initial public offering price per share.
Assuming the sale by us of 4,173,616 shares of common stock at an initial
public offering price of $12.00 per share, the promissory note will convert
into approximately 433,405 shares of our common stock,

                                       7

after our initial public offering. If the price per share at which our common
stock is sold or the number of shares sold in our initial public offering
decrease, then DaimlerChrysler Venture will be entitled to receive additional
shares of common stock or the repayment of a portion of the principal amount
under the promissory note in an amount in excess of the amount that, upon
conversion, would result in DaimlerChrysler Venture owning approximately 2.5%
of our common stock after our initial public offering. If the price per share
at which our common stock is sold or the number of shares sold in our initial
public offering increase, then DaimlerChrysler Venture may elect to receive
fewer shares or pay an additional sum to us such that, upon conversion,
DaimlerChrysler Venture will own approximately 2.5% of our common stock after
our initial public offering. All shares of common stock issued to
DaimlerChrysler Venture upon conversion of the promissory note shall be subject
to restrictions on sale and transfer, as contained in the related purchase
agreement, until April 25, 2001. We have recorded a non-cash charge to interest
expense of approximately $1.45 million in January 2000 to give financial
accounting recognition to the beneficial conversion feature contained in the
promissory note.

   At December 31, 1999, the amount of indebtedness owed to Odetics was $37.6
million. Upon completion of our initial public offering, Odetics will
contribute to our capital approximately $12.9 million in the form of
cancellation of indebtedness, which is reflected in the pro forma column. Also
upon completion of our initial public offering, we will pay Odetics $10.0
million from the proceeds of the public offering and enter into a promissory
note payable to Odetics in the principal amount of $14.7 million, representing
the balance of our obligations to Odetics. This promissory note will be payable
in interest only for the first year and in 16 quarterly installments of
principal and interest thereafter. The actual amount of indebtedness cancelled
by Odetics will vary from the amount reflected in the pro forma column
depending on the actual total amount of indebtedness owed to Odetics at the
completion of our initial public offering.

   In addition to the anticipated transactions with Odetics described above,
the pro forma consolidated balance sheet data reflects the issuance of 433,405
shares of common stock upon conversion of the promissory note issued to
DaimlerChrysler Venture for proceeds of $3.75 million, and the recognition of a
non-cash charge of $1.45 million to interest expense (accumulated deficit) and
an offsetting credit to additional paid-in capital to give financial accounting
recognition to the beneficial conversion feature contained in the promissory
note.

   The pro forma as adjusted information also gives effect to the sale of
4,173,616 shares of common stock offered by us in an initial public offering at
an assumed offering price of $12.00 per share and after deducting estimated
underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated expenses related to our
initial public offering.

                                  RISK FACTORS

                         Risks Related to Our Business

We have a history of losses, we expect losses in the future and we may not ever
become profitable

   We have incurred significant losses in all prior fiscal periods since our
formation. We incurred net losses of $5.6 million in the nine months ended
December 31, 1999, $7.4 million in fiscal 1999, $7.4 million in fiscal 1998 and
$4.5 million in fiscal 1997. We had an accumulated deficit of $29.1 million as
of December 31, 1999. We also expect to incur losses in fiscal 2000. These
losses may be substantial, and we may not ever become profitable. In addition,
we expect to significantly increase our expenses in the near-term. In
particular, we expect to incur additional expenses to establish and maintain
our own administrative functions, expand research and development and increase
marketing. Therefore, our operating results will be harmed if our revenue does
not keep pace with our expected increase in expenses or is not sufficient for
us to achieve profitability. If we do achieve profitability in any period, we
cannot be certain that we will sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly
or annual basis. If we do not achieve and sustain profitability, the trading
price of our common stock will decline.

Variations in our quarterly operating results may cause our stock price to
decline

   Our quarterly operating results are unpredictable and we expect them to
continue to fluctuate in the future due to a number of factors that are often
outside of our control. If our operating results in future quarters fall below
the expectations of market analysts and investors, the trading price of our
common stock will decline. Factors that may cause our operating results to
fluctuate on a quarterly basis are:

  .  variations in product roll-outs, purchasing lead times and production
     quantities associated with the vehicle transportation industry;

  .  the size and timing of significant government contracts and customer
     orders;

  .  the long lead times and lengthy sales cycles associated with government
     contracts;

  .  our ability to develop, introduce, market and gain market acceptance of
     our products and product enhancements in a timely and cost effective
     manner;

  .  the introduction of new products by competitors;

  .  our success in securing additional transportation management and
     traveler information systems projects;

  .  product developments by competitors in the ITS industry that may be
     superior to our products;

  .  the availability of components used in the manufacture of our products;

  .  changes in pricing policies of our suppliers;

  .  the loss of significant customers;

  .  delays of orders from vehicle manufacturers due to events beyond our
     control;

  .  the revenue mix between our systems and sensors; and

  .  general economic and market conditions.

The success of our products depends on the willingness of vehicle manufacturers
to incorporate AutoVue into their vehicles and market AutoVue to end users and
on dealers of traffic management systems to market Vantage to transportation
agencies

   We are currently selling AutoVue systems to heavy truck manufacturers for
pre-production testing and marketing AutoVue to light and medium truck and
passenger car manufacturers. The success of AutoVue depends on the willingness
of vehicle manufacturers to incorporate AutoVue into their vehicles. Vehicle
manufacturers may incur delays during testing and may elect to delay product
introductions, or limit the scope of vehicle platforms on which AutoVue will be
offered. These events could have a substantial adverse impact on our results of
operations. In addition, there can be no assurance that we will be able to
establish relationships with vehicle manufacturers for the installation of
AutoVue. Our Vantage video vehicle detection systems are sold primarily through
independent dealers who distribute a broad range of traffic signal control
products. Since we often have no direct contact with the end user of our
products, we depend on the ability of vehicle manufacturers to market and sell
AutoVue as an attractive, safe and effective feature and on dealers of traffic
management systems to sell Vantage as an effective means of monitoring traffic.
If these third parties with whom we develop relationships fail to successfully
market our products, they may not be accepted by consumers and our sales may
decline.

   Some vehicle manufacturers may require us to achieve various quality
assurance standards, including QS 9000. QS 9000 defines the fundamental quality
requirements consistent with those required by Ford Motor Company,
DaimlerChrysler HG, General Motors Corporation and other vehicle manufacturers.
Compliance with QS 9000 helps to prevent defects and reduce variations and
waste of products. If we fail to receive QS 9000 certification, vehicle
manufacturers may not purchase our systems resulting in decreased sensor
revenues which would have a negative impact on our business.

Dependence on relationships with DaimlerChrysler and Freightliner

   We have entered into strategic relationships with two vehicle manufacturers
to acquire key technologies and design expertise to expedite the development of
our AutoVue systems. AutoVue incorporates technology that we jointly developed
with DaimlerChrysler and integrates proprietary technologies of both companies.
We entered into an agreement with DaimlerChrysler to serve as its exclusive
production source until July 2000 for AutoVue systems installed in Mercedes'
European heavy trucks. We have also entered into an agreement with Freightliner
for the development of an AutoVue system modified for driving and road
conditions in North America. The success of AutoVue is dependent upon the
marketing efforts of DaimlerChrysler and Freightliner. If either of our
relationships with DaimlerChrysler or Freightliner was terminated, our ability
to market AutoVue to the end user and achieve market acceptance would be
negatively impacted, which could have a material effect on our business,
financial condition and operating results.

If the market for AutoVue does not develop or AutoVue is not accepted by
consumers, we will not generate anticipated revenue

   The market for in-vehicle lane departure warning systems is not well
developed. Also, our AutoVue system has only recently been made available to
heavy truck manufacturers and has not yet been made widely available to
passenger car and light and medium truck manufacturers. If the market for lane
departure warning systems does not develop, our AutoVue system is not accepted
or competitors develop alternative technology that is more effective than
AutoVue, the revenue we expect to generate from the sale of our AutoVue system
will not be realized.

The success of Vantage depends on our ability to overcome significant barriers
to entry as a result of an installed base of competing products used to achieve
the same purpose

   Traffic monitoring has historically been addressed by inductive loops, which
require the installation of wires beneath the roadway surface. These inductive
loops are still the primary technology used to detect

                                       11
<PAGE>

vehicles at signalized intersections. As a result, we must convince
transportation authorities that our Vantage systems are more effective vehicle
detection systems. We may have difficulty selling Vantage systems if
transportation authorities do not consider it to be an effective alternative to
inductive loops. If we are unable to convince a sufficient number of
transportation authorities to replace their current vehicle detection systems
with Vantage or install Vantage at new intersections, our sales may decline.

Revenue from our transportation management and traveler information systems may
fluctuate due to our dependence on government contracts that often involve long
purchase cycles, competitive bidding and fixed price contracts

   A significant portion of our revenue has historically been derived from
traffic management contracts with governmental agencies, either as a prime
contractor, subcontractor or supplier. Obtaining government contracts may
involve long purchase cycles, competitive bidding, qualification requirements,
performance bond requirements, delays in funding, budgetary constraints,
extensive specification development and price negotiations and milestone
requirements. Each government agency also maintains its own rules and
regulations with which we must comply and which can vary significantly among
agencies. Governmental agencies also often retain a significant portion of fees
payable upon completion of a project and collection of such fees may be delayed
for several months.

   In addition, an increasing number of our government contracts are fixed
price contracts which may prevent us from recovering costs incurred in excess
of our budgeted costs. Fixed price contracts require us to estimate the total
project cost based on preliminary projections of the project's requirements.
The financial viability of any given project depends in large part on our
ability to estimate such costs accurately and complete the project on a timely
basis. In the event our actual costs exceed the fixed contractual cost, we will
not be able to recover the excess costs. If we fail to properly anticipate
costs on fixed priced contracts our profit margins will decrease. Some of our
government contracts are also subject to termination or renegotiation at the
convenience of the government, which could result in a large decline in revenue
in any given quarter.

We currently have a small number of customers and if any of our customers
discontinue use of our systems and solutions, experience business difficulties
or cause us to reduce prices, our revenues may decline

   A relatively small number of customers, primarily governmental agencies,
have accounted for a substantial portion of our total revenue, and the identity
of such customers has varied from period to period. Similarly, our AutoVue
systems are being marketed primarily to a small group of vehicle manufacturers.
As a result, we expect that we will continue to be dependent upon a small
number of customers for a significant portion of our total revenue for the
foreseeable future. Revenue from the Federal Highway Administration accounted
for approximately 17%, and revenue from Rockwell Collins, Inc. accounted for
approximately 13%, of our systems revenue for the year ended March 31, 1999. No
other customer accounted for 10% or more of sensors or systems revenue. Our
largest five customers, however, accounted for an aggregate of approximately
55% of our systems revenue for the year ended March 31, 1999 and 56% of our
systems revenue for the nine month period ended December 31, 1999. If any of
these significant customers experience business difficulties or choose to no
longer purchase our systems and solutions, it could have a material adverse
effect on our business. In addition, our customers are large established
businesses and governmental agencies that aggressively negotiate prices and
related purchase terms. If any of our customers cause us to reduce our prices,
or negotiate other terms that are unfavorable to us, our revenues may decline.

If the system and service offerings we develop for the personalized traveler
information market are not accepted by consumers, we will not generate
anticipated revenue from these offerings

   The market for personalized traveler information is not well developed and
our systems and services under development to address this market are in the
early stages of development. If this market does develop, but our systems are
not well received, or if competitors develop alternative products that are more
effective or render

                                       12
<PAGE>

our systems and services obsolete, we will not generate the amount of revenues
we anticipate. In addition, we cannot assure you that we will be able to
develop a cost effective means of compiling useful travel information from
remote sources or that we will be able to develop or obtain an effective means
of delivering such information to consumers, which could have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.

If we are unable to protect our intellectual property rights, this inability
could weaken our competitive position, reduce our revenue and increase our
costs

   Our success depends in large part on our proprietary technology. We rely on
a combination of patent, copyright, trademark and trade secrets,
confidentiality procedures and licensing arrangements to establish and protect
our proprietary rights. We may be required to spend significant resources to
monitor and police our intellectual property rights. We hold five U.S. patents
and various foreign patents for image recognition technologies. We also have
applied for additional patents in the United States, Australia, Canada, Europe
and Japan and may in the future file patents. Our pending patent applications
and any patent application we file in the future may not be allowed or
competitors may successfully challenge the validity or scope of issued and
pending patents.

   Even if competitors develop similar technology independently which infringes
our proprietary rights, we may not be able to detect infringement and may lose
our competitive position in the market before we do so. In addition,
competitors may design around our technology or develop substantially
equivalent or superior systems to our systems. Also, the laws of some foreign
countries do not protect proprietary rights to the same extent as do the laws
of the United States.

   Litigation may be necessary in the future to enforce our intellectual
property rights, to determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights
of others, or to defend against claims of infringement or invalidity by others.
An adverse outcome in such litigation or similar proceeding could subject us to
significant liabilities to third parties, require disputed rights to be
licensed from others or require us to cease marketing or using certain
products, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business. In
addition, the cost of
addressing any intellectual property litigation claim, both in legal fees and
expenses and the diversion of management resources, regardless of whether the
claim is valid, could be significant and could have a material adverse effect
on our business. If we fail to successfully enforce our intellectual property
rights, our competitive position may be harmed.

We depend on two subcontractors to produce our AutoVue systems and single
source suppliers of components for our Vantage systems

   We have outsourced the manufacture of our AutoVue systems to two independent
subcontractors. We are dependent on these subcontractors to supply all of our
current needs to support orders from heavy truck manufacturers. Our current
manufacturers of AutoVue do not have the capacity to produce all of the
expected demand for AutoVue. We will be required to engage other third parties
to manufacture expected increases in volume for AutoVue. We also subcontract
the manufacture of certain components of our Vantage systems to independent
single source suppliers. Reliance on a limited number of subcontractors'
involves several risks, including the potential inadequacy of capacity,
interruptions in the subcontractors operations and reduced control over product
quality. Production capacity constraints, interruptions of our subcontractors'
businesses or delays due to quality control will impair our ability to ship
products and will result in decreased revenue until we are able to find a
substitute subcontractor. We may not be able to find a substitute subcontractor
at reasonable prices without incurring significant delays in production. Delays
in production could inhibit our ability to fulfill purchase orders, resulting
in a decrease in sensor revenues which would have a negative impact on our
business.

Our rapid growth may strain our management, operational and financial resources

   We are currently experiencing a period of significant expansion and we
anticipate that we must expand further and continue to develop our business
plan to address potential growth in our customer base and market opportunities.
Our expansion has placed, and we expect it to continue to place, a significant
strain on our management, operating systems and financial resources. Also, as
our business plan evolves, we risk distracting management away from current
operations. We cannot assure you that our current and planned facilities,
computer systems, personnel and other resources will be adequate to support our
future operations. Any strains on our management, operational and financial
resources could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition and operating results.

Acquisitions may disrupt our business and require additional financing

   If appropriate opportunities present themselves, we intend to acquire
additional businesses, technologies, services or products that we believe will
help us develop and expand our business. The process of integrating an acquired
business, technology, service or product may result in operating difficulties
and expenditures which we cannot anticipate and may absorb significant
management attention that would otherwise be available for further development
of our existing business. Moreover, the anticipated benefits of any acquisition
may not be realized. Any future acquisitions of other businesses, technologies,
services or products might require us to obtain additional equity or debt
financing, which might not be available to us on favorable terms or at all, and
might be dilutive. Additionally, we may not be able to successfully identify,
negotiate or finance future acquisitions or to integrate acquisitions with our
current business. If we are unable to manage our growth effectively, it could
have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and
operating results.

Our success depends on our ability to attract, retain and motivate management
and other skilled employees

   Our success depends to a significant extent upon the continued service of
our executive officers and other key management and technical personnel, and on
our ability to continue to attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel,
such as experienced systems, software and image processing engineers and
transportation engineers. In addition, due to the relatively recent emergence
of the ITS industry, there is a shortage of qualified personnel with
significant ITS experience or a working knowledge of the National ITS
Architecture. The competition for such qualified personnel is intense. The
experience of individual key employees and their relationships with
governmental agencies is a critical factor in securing government contracts.
The loss of the services of one or more of our executive officers or other key
personnel or our inability to recruit replacements for such personnel or to
otherwise attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel could have a
material adverse effect on our business.

We may suffer losses due to claims against our product and systems warranties

   We generally warrant the continued operation and performance of our
transportation management and traveler information systems following initial
acceptance, and offer extended warranty contracts under certain circumstances.
These warranties typically include the continued operation and maintenance of
the systems, and in certain circumstances are unlimited in amount. In addition,
we may guarantee the completion of certain projects by a specified date or the
achievement of certain functional specifications. Claims on our warranties or
failures to meet any such schedule or performance requirements could result in
significant additional costs, the amount of which could exceed project profit
margins or even project revenues, which would have a negative impact on our
business.

We may incur significant development and production costs prior to recognizing
significant revenue on our AutoVue systems due to long sales and testing cycles
with vehicle manufacturers

   The sale to vehicle manufacturers of AutoVue for new vehicles often requires
substantial lead times and will require us to invest heavily in producing
prototypes and conduct extensive testing before any equipment is accepted by
the vehicle manufacturer. We have little control over how long the testing may
take or what quantities will be ordered for product roll-out. Once the
manufacturer decides to include AutoVue in a new

                                       14
<PAGE>

model, several years may pass before vehicles containing AutoVue are
manufactured and any revenue is recognized. As a result, we will be required to
invest heavily in establishing and solidifying relationships with vehicle
manufacturers without any corresponding increase in revenue at that time. These
expenditures could negatively impact our profit margins, which would have a
negative impact on our business.

Potential year 2000 problems with our internal systems, our products or the
products with which our products are integrated could adversely affect our
business

   Many existing computer systems and applications, and other control devices
were designed to use two digits rather than four digits to define an applicable
year. As a result, such systems and applications may be unable to recognize the
year 2000 and could fail or create erroneous results. These problems are
commonly referred to as the year 2000 problem. Through February 17, 2000, we
have not experienced any significant problems from the year 2000 issue.

   The year 2000 problem could affect the systems, transaction processing
computer applications and devices that we use to operate and monitor all major
aspects of our business, including financial systems (such as general ledger,
accounts payable, and payroll), customer services, infrastructure, master
productions scheduling, materials requirement planning, test equipment,
security systems, networks and telecommunications systems.

   We estimate that Odetics has expended approximately $500,000 addressing year
2000 issues for its consolidated group, a portion of which was allocated to us.
Assuming that we have already identified our most significant year 2000 issues,
and that the plans of our third party suppliers will be fulfilled in a timely
manner without cost to us, we do not expect to incur any additional significant
costs to address year 2000 issues. We cannot be sure that these assumptions are
accurate, and actual results could differ materially from those we anticipate.

   We have developed contingency plans to address the year 2000 issues that may
pose a significant risk to our on-going operations. These plans include
accelerated replacement of affected equipment and software, temporary use of
back-up equipment and software or the implementation of manual procedures to
compensate for system deficiencies. We cannot be certain that any contingency
plans implemented by us are adequate to meet our needs without materially
impacting our operations, that any such plan will be successful or that our
results of operations would not be materially and adversely affected by the
delays and inefficiencies inherent in conducting operations in an alternative
manner.

               Risks Related to Our Separation from Odetics, Inc.

Our historical financial information may not be representative of our results
as a separate company

   We operated as a business unit of Odetics from 1994 to 1998, and thereafter
as a subsidiary of Odetics. Accordingly, we have had no independent operating
history. Our financial results as a division of Odetics may not be
representative of what financial results would have been had we been a
separate, stand-alone company during the periods presented or be indicative of
future results. Differences in financial results may be attributable to:

  .  expense adjustments and allocations as a result of not being operated as
     a single stand-alone business for all periods presented; and

  .  changes that will occur in our funding and operations as a result of our
     separation from Odetics.

These differences may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
conditions and operating results.

We may incur unanticipated expenses and suffer business interruptions if
Odetics does not provide transition support services

   We are currently dependent upon Odetics for significant support functions,
including operational, financial, management, administrative, information
systems and manufacturing support, as well as other resources or

                                       15
<PAGE>

systems. These functions are necessary to operate as an independent company and
we may not be able to develop these functions independently. Prior to
consummation of the offering, we will enter into a services agreement with
Odetics intended to facilitate our transition to an independent public company,
pursuant to which Odetics will continue to provide treasury, accounting, tax,
internal audit, legal and human resources services for up to 18 months
following the consummation of this offering. If Odetics does not provide the
support we need pursuant to the services agreement, we may be forced to incur
additional expenses to replace such support services and our business
operations could be interrupted. In addition, loss of access to the senior
management of Odetics could impair our ability to operate as a separate
company. Unanticipated expenses or interruptions in our operations could have a
negative effect on our business by decreasing our revenues.

We will incur significant costs in connection with our separation from Odetics

   Our obligations to Odetics, which consisted of advances from Odetics to
support our working capital requirements, fund our operating losses and support
acquisition activities, were approximately $37.6 million as of December 31,
1999. Upon completion of this offering Odetics will contribute to our capital
approximately $12.9 million to us in the form of cancellation of indebtedness,
we will pay Odetics $10.0 million from the proceeds of this offering and we
will enter into a promissory note payable to Odetics in the principal amount of
$14.7 million, representing the balance of our existing obligations to Odetics.
We have also entered into a services agreement under which we are obligated to
pay Odetics for services rendered at a rate consistent with amounts charged by
Odetics to us in prior periods. We will also incur expenses to develop our own
treasury, accounting, tax, internal audit, legal and human resources services.
These expenses may be substantial and may adversely impact our results of
operations.

Failure of representations and assumptions underlying the IRS tax ruling could
cause the spin-off not to be tax-free to Odetics or to Odetics' stockholders
and may require us to indemnify Odetics

   While the tax ruling relating to the qualification of the spin-off as a tax-
free distribution within the meaning of Section 355 of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), generally is binding on the IRS, the
continuing validity of the tax ruling is subject to certain factual
representations and assumptions. We are not aware of any facts or circumstances
that would cause such representations and assumptions to become untrue.

   If the spin-off were not to qualify as a tax-free distribution within the
meaning of Section 355 of the Code, Odetics would recognize taxable gain
generally equal to the amount by which the fair market value of the Iteris
common stock distributed to Odetics' stockholders exceeded the tax basis in our
assets. In addition, the distribution of our common stock to each Odetics
stockholder would generally be treated as taxable to such stockholder in an
amount equal to the fair market value of the Iteris common stock they receive.

   If the spin-off qualified as a distribution under Section 355 of the Code
but was disqualified as tax-free to Odetics because of certain post-spin-off
circumstances (such as an acquisition of Iteris), Odetics would recognize
taxable gain as described above, but the distribution of our common stock in
the spin-off would generally be tax-free to each Odetics stockholder.

   The Tax Allocation Agreement provides that we will indemnify Odetics for any
taxes imposed on and other amounts paid by Odetics, its agents and
representatives or its stockholders as a result of the failure of the spin-off
to qualify as a tax-free distribution within the meaning of Section 355 of the
Code if the failure or disqualification is caused by certain post-spin-off
actions by or with respect to us (including our subsidiaries) or our
stockholders. For example, the acquisition of Iteris by a third party during
the two-year period following the spin-off could cause such a failure or
disqualification. If any of the taxes or other amounts described above were to
become payable by us, the payment could have a material adverse effect on our
business, results of operations, financial position, and cash flow and could
exceed our net worth by a substantial amount. See "Arrangements with Odetics--
Tax Allocation Agreement."

                         Risks Related to Our Industry

Failure to develop technologies to adapt to new technological advancements in
the ITS industry could harm our business

   The ITS industry has been subject to fundamental changes recently reflecting
the adoption of the National ITS Architecture and the overburdening of the
existing transportation infrastructure. Our ability to remain competitive will
depend in part on our ability to develop systems and solutions that incorporate
the new standards and advanced traffic management technologies. In addition,
since our AutoVue and Vantage systems are currently based on image recognition
technology, any change in such capabilities or the emergence and acceptance of
any new technologies may require us to incur substantial unanticipated costs to
incorporate technologies. In addition, the introduction of a new, non-intrusive
technology to address vehicle detection could replace video as a leading
alternative to inductive loops. We may not be able to develop or obtain the
technology necessary to address these changes in a timely manner or at all. Our
inability to modify our systems and solutions to reflect changes in technology
on a timely and cost-effective basis, or at all, could have a material adverse
effect on our business.

New product introductions and pricing strategies by our competitors could
adversely affect our ability to sell our systems and solutions and could result
in pressure to price our systems and solutions in a manner that reduces our
margins

   Competitive pressures could prevent us from growing, obtaining market share
or require us to reduce prices on our systems and solutions, any of which could
harm our business. Many of our current and potential competitors have longer
operating histories, greater name recognition, access to larger customer bases
and significantly greater financial, technical, manufacturing, distribution and
marketing resources than we do. As a result, they may be able to adapt more
quickly to new or emerging standards of technologies or to devote greater
resources to the promotion and sale of their products than we can. Accordingly,
it is possible that new competitors or alliances among competitors could emerge
and rapidly acquire significant market share, resulting in price reductions,
reduced margins and greater operating losses, any of which could materially and
adversely affect our business.

 AutoVue lane departure warning systems

   While we believe that AutoVue is the only commercially-available lane
departure warning system currently available, potential competitors, including
Delphi Automotive Systems Corporation domestically, NEC Corporation and Hitachi
Ltd. in Japan and Robert Bosch Gmbh in Europe are currently developing video
sensor technology for the vehicle transportation industry that could be used
for lane departure warning systems.

 Vantage vehicle detection systems

   In the market for vehicle detection systems, we compete with both
manufacturers of "above ground" video camera detection systems, such as Image
Sensing Systems, Inc., Econolite Control Products, Inc. and the Peek Traffic
Systems division of Thermo Electron Corporation, and other non-intrusive
detection devices including microwave, infrared, ultrasonic and magnetic
detectors, as well as manufacturers and installers of in-pavement inductive
loop products. These competitors may offer products that offer more functions
at less expensive prices.

 Traffic management and traveler information systems

   The intelligent transportation management and traveler information systems
market is highly fragmented and characterized by rapidly changing technology
and evolving national and regional technical standards. Our competitors vary in
number, scope and breadth of the products and services they offer. Our
competitors in advanced management and traveler information systems include
corporations like Transcore, Lockheed Martin

                                       17
<PAGE>


Corporation, PB Farradyne Inc., Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc., TRW, Inc. and
National Engineering Technology, Inc. Our competitors in transportation
engineering, planning and design include major firms like Parsons Brinkerhoff,
Inc. and Parsons Transportation Group Inc., as well as many regional
engineering firms.

We could incur significant losses as a result of product liability claims

   We face an inherent business risk of exposure to product liability claims in
the event that our systems and solutions malfunction resulting in personal
injury or death. We may be named in these actions even if there is no evidence
our systems and solutions caused the accident. Product liability claims could
result in significant losses as a result of expenses incurred in defending
claims and as a result of damage awards. The sale of systems and solutions for
the vehicle transportation industry entails a high risk of such claims. In
addition, if any of our systems prove to be defective, we may be required to
participate in a recall involving such systems, or due to various industry or
business practices or the need to maintain good customer relationships, may be
placed in a position whereby we may voluntarily initiate a recall or make
payments related to such claims. We currently maintain product liability
insurance. However, there can be no assurance that product liability claims
will be covered by such insurance, that such claims will not exceed insurance
coverage limits or that such insurance will continue to be available on
commercially reasonable terms, if at all. Any product liability claim brought
against us could have a material adverse effect on our reputation and business.

Our ability to expand into international markets is limited by regulatory,
cultural, economic and other differences

   We intend to expand our international marketing and sales efforts. If our
international sales increase, we will be subject to additional risks inherent
in international operations. These risks include:

  .  adapting our products to foreign road conditions and regulations;

  .  longer buying cycles associated with sales to foreign governments;

  .  imposition of governmental controls;

  .  performance bond requirements;

  .  challenges related to cultural differences, including language barriers;

  .  exposure to different legal standards, particularly with respect to
     government contracting requirements and intellectual property;

  .  burdens of complying with a variety of foreign laws and trade
     restrictions;

  .  currency exchange fluctuations;

  .  unexpected changes in regulatory requirements;

  .  foreign technical standards;

  .  political, social and economic instability;

  .  changes in tariffs;

  .  difficulties in staffing and managing international operations;

  .  potentially adverse tax consequences; and

  .  difficulties in finding and managing local dealers.

   While substantially all of our international sales to date have been
denominated in U.S. dollars, some foreign countries may experience dramatic
currency devaluation, stock price declines and general market instability,
leading to significant economic problems in the affected region. As a result,
an increase in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies
could make our systems and solutions less competitive in international markets.
These risks may limit our ability to expand into international markets
successfully or require us to modify significantly our current business
practices.

                  Risks Related to Our Initial Public Offering

The liquidity of our common stock is uncertain since it has not been publicly
traded

   There has not been a public market for our common stock. We cannot predict
the extent to which investor interest in our company will lead to the
development of an active, liquid trading market. Active trading markets
generally result in lower price volatility and more efficient execution of buy
and sell orders for investors. The price of our common stock that will prevail
in the market after our initial public offering may be lower than the initial
public offering price. The initial public offering price for the shares will be
determined by negotiations between us and the representatives of the
underwriters and may not be indicative of prices that will prevail in the
trading market. In addition, shares of our common stock distributed in the
spin-off will not be publicly tradable until 180 days after the date of the
prospectus delivered in connection with our initial public offering. If you
desire to sell your shares of our common stock during this period, you will not
be able to publicly sell such shares and you may incur losses if the price of
our stock declines.

Since we have broad discretion in how we use the proceeds from our initial
public offering, we may use some of the proceeds in ways with which you
disagree

   We have not allocated specific amounts of the net proceeds from our initial
public offering for any specific purpose other than repayment of a portion of
our debt to Odetics. Accordingly, our management will have significant
discretion in applying the net proceeds of our initial public offering. The
failure of our management to use such funds effectively could have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.

Our need for additional financing is uncertain as is our ability to raise
further financing, if required

   We currently anticipate that our available cash resources combined with the
net proceeds from our initial public offering will be sufficient to meet our
anticipated working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least
two years after the date of the effectiveness of our registration statement
filed in connection with our initial public offering. We may need to raise
additional funds, however, to respond to business contingencies which may
include the need to:

  .  fund more rapid expansion;

  .  fund additional marketing expenditures;

  .  enhance our operating infrastructure;

  .  respond to competitive pressures; or

  .  acquire complementary businesses or technologies.

   We cannot assure you that additional financing will be available on terms
favorable to us, or at all. If adequate funds are not available or are not
available on acceptable terms, our ability to fund our operations, take
advantage of opportunities, develop systems or solutions or otherwise respond
to competitive pressures could be significantly limited.

Future financing could adversely affect your ownership interest and rights in
comparison with those of other shareholders

   If additional funds are raised through the issuance of equity or convertible
debt securities, the percentage ownership of our stockholders will be reduced,
and these newly issued securities may have rights, preferences or privileges
senior to those of existing stockholders, including you.

Future sales of our common stock could cause our stock price to decline

   The market price for our common stock could drop as a result of sales of a
large number of shares of common stock in the market after the offering or the
perception that such sales could occur. These factors also could make it more
difficult for us to raise funds through future offerings of common stock.

                                       19

   There will be 16,666,667 shares of common stock outstanding immediately
after our initial public offering. The shares sold in our initial public
offering will be freely transferable without restriction or further
registration under the Securities Act. In connection with the offering all
current stockholders and substantially all of our option holders have agreed
that, with certain exceptions, they will not sell any shares of common stock or
enter into similar transactions for 180 days after the date of the prospectus
delivered in connection with our initial public offering without the consent of
Bear, Stearns & Co. Inc. Similarly, all shares of our common stock distributed
to stockholders of Odetics will not be publicly transferable until 180 days
after the date of the prospectus delivered in connection with our initial
public offering. After the expiration of the 180 day period, all shares of
common stock will be freely transferable, subject to volume and other
restrictions on shares held by affiliates or held for less than two years, and
additional shares of common stock issued upon exercise of options granted under
our stock-based compensation plans will be available for sale in the public
market. Future sales of our common stock could cause our stock price to
decline. See "Shares Eligible For Future Sale."

Provisions in our charter documents may make an acquisition of us more
difficult

   Provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, as well as
provisions under Delaware law, could make it more difficult for a third party
to acquire us, even if doing so would be beneficial to stockholders. See
"Description of Capital Stock."

                     Additional Information on Risk Factors

   The following disclaimers pertain to and should be read in conjunction with
the risk factors discussed above. These disclaimers further explain the effect
that the occurence of these risks may have on your investment:

  .  The risks described above are not the only ones facing our company.

  .  Additional risks not presently known to us or which we currently
     consider immaterial may also adversely affect our company.

  .  If any of these risks actually occur, our business, financial condition
     and operating results could be materially adversely affected. In such
     case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you could
     lose part or all of your investment.

                                  THE SPIN-OFF

Introduction

   On December 16, 1999, the Board of Directors of Odetics approved the spin-
off, which will result in our separation from Odetics by means of a tax-free
spin-off. The spin-off is expected to occur immediately prior to our initial
public offering. At the time of the spin-off, Odetics will own approximately
93% of our outstanding common stock.

Reasons for the Spin-Off

   The Board of Directors of Odetics believes that the spin-off will accomplish
a number of important business objectives and, by enabling us to develop our
respective businesses separately, should better position Odetics and us to
produce greater stockholder value over the long term. As a separate company, we
will be better able to focus on our own strategic priorities and have greater
access to capital markets than we could as a subsidiary of Odetics.

   We believe that the spin-off will enable our business to grow more quickly
and efficiently in the following ways:

  .  Our business has different fundamentals, growth characteristics and
     strategic priorities than the business conducted by Odetics. The
     separation of our business from those of Odetics will enable us to focus
     on our own strategic priorities, which we believe should increase our
     ability to capitalize on growth opportunities for our business and
     enhance our ability to respond more quickly to changes in the markets
     that we serve.

  .  The spin-off will enable us to enhance our access to the capital markets
     by allowing the financial community to focus separately on our business.
     Immediately following the spin-off, we intend to raise approximately
     $50.0 million in equity capital in an initial public offering that we
     will use to:

    .  repay $10.0 million of our debt payable to Odetics;

    .  expand our sales and marketing activities;

    .  fund acquisitions or investments in businesses, products, services
       or technologies complimentary to our business;

    .  provide working capital; and

    .  fund other general corporate expenses.

  .  The spin-off will enable us to recruit, retain and motivate key
     employees by providing them with stock-based compensation incentives
     directly tied to the success of our business.

Manner of Effecting the Spin-Off

   Odetics will effect the spin-off by distributing the 11,249,493 shares of
our common stock that it currently holds to holders of record of Odetics Class
A and Class B common stock as of the close of business on the date that our
registration statement for our initial public offering is declared effective by
the SEC, which is expected to be on or about March 16, 2000. The spin-off will
be made on the basis of approximately 1.123 shares of our common stock for
every one share of Odetics Class A and/or Class B common stock held by Odetics
stockholders. At the request of the underwriters of our initial public offering
and as a condition to the spin-off and our initial public offering, none of the
shares distributed in the spin-off will be publicly tradable until 180 days
after the date of our prospectus delivered in connection with our initial
public offering.

   Prior to the spin-off, Odetics will deliver the 11,249,493 shares of our
common stock that it currently holds to the distribution agent for
distribution. As promptly as practicable after the spin-off, the distribution
agent will mail certificates for whole shares of our common stock to Odetics
stockholders of record on the date that our registration statement for our
initial public offering is declared effective by the SEC, which is expected to
be on or about March 16, 2000.

                                       22
<PAGE>

   If a stockholder is otherwise entitled to receive a fractional share of our
common stock, that stockholder will instead receive cash. The distribution
agent will, promptly after the date of the spin-off, aggregate all fractional
share interests in our common stock with those of other similarly situated
stockholders. These fractional interests will be cancelled and Odetics will
deposit an amount with the distribution agent equal to the aggregate value of
such fractional interests based upon our initial public offering price. The
distribution agent will distribute the cash deposited to stockholders entitled
to such cash pro rata based upon their fractional interests in our common
stock. No interest will be paid on any cash distributed instead of fractional
shares. The distribution agent is not affiliated with Odetics or Iteris.

   No consideration will be paid by stockholders of Odetics for the shares to
be received by them in the spin-off, and Odetics stockholders will not be
required to surrender or exchange shares of Odetics common stock or take any
other action in order to receive the distributed shares.

Results of the Spin-Off

   After the spin-off, we will be a separate, independent public company. Our
management, fundamentals, growth characteristics and strategic priorities will
be different from those of Odetics. Odetics will have no ownership interest in
us after the spin-off, although two of our board members, Joel Slutzky and
Gregory A. Miner, will remain executive officers and directors of Odetics.

   Immediately after the spin-off we intend to sell 4,173,616 shares of our
common stock in an underwritten public offering. Following the spin-off and our
initial public offering, we expect to have a substantial number of holders of
record of our common stock and approximately 16,666,667 shares of our common
stock outstanding, based on the number of shares being issued in our initial
public offering and the number of shares being distributed in the spin-off.

   As with Odetics Class A common stock, the shares of our common stock will:

  .  be fully paid and nonassessable;

  .  have one vote per share, with no right to cumulate votes; and

  .  carry no preemptive rights.

   Our common stock will differ from Odetics Class B common stock with respect
to voting rights only. Our common stock and Odetics Class A and Class B common
stock, however, will be different securities and will not trade or be valued
alike. See "Description of Capital Stock."

   We expect that our common stock distributed in the spin-off will be listed
on the Nasdaq National Market under the trading symbol "ITER" 180 days after
the date of our prospectus delivered in connection with our initial public
offering. The spin-off will not, in and of itself, affect the number of
outstanding shares of Odetics Class A and Class B common stock, or the rights
associated with those shares.

Material Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Spin-Off

   The following is a summary of the material United States federal income tax
consequences of the spin-off. It is not intended to address the tax
consequences applicable to every stockholder. In particular, this summary does
not cover state, local or international income and other tax consequences.
Accordingly, stockholders are strongly encouraged to consult their individual
tax advisors for information on the tax consequences applicable to their
individual situations.

   Odetics has received a tax ruling from the IRS that states that the spin-off
will qualify as a tax-free distribution under Section 355 of the Code. In
accordance with this tax ruling:

  .  No gain or loss will be recognized by Odetics upon the distribution of
     Iteris common stock to Odetics stockholders.

                                       23
<PAGE>

  .  No gain or loss will be recognized by Odetics stockholders as a result
     of your receipt of our common stock in the spin-off except to the extent
     that you receive cash instead of a fractional share.

  .  If you receive cash instead of a fractional share of our common stock in
     the spin-off, you will be treated as having received the fractional
     share in the spin-off and then having sold the fractional share.
     Accordingly, you will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference
     between the cash you receive and the amount of the tax basis allocable
     (as described below) to the fractional share. The gain or loss will be
     capital gain or loss if you would have held the fractional share as a
     capital asset.

  .  Your tax basis in your Odetics common stock will be apportioned among
     the Odetics common stock and the Iteris common stock you receive in the
     spin-off on the basis of the relative fair market values of the shares
     on the date of the spin-off.

  .  The holding period of Iteris common stock that you receive in the spin-
     off will be the same as the holding period of the Odetics common stock
     with respect to which you received our common stock so long as you hold
     the Odetics common stock as a capital asset on the date of the spin-off.

   The tax ruling relating to the qualification of the spin-off as a tax-free
distribution within the meaning of Section 355 of the Code generally is binding
on the IRS. However, the continuing validity of the tax ruling is subject to
certain factual representations and assumptions.

   If the spin-off were not to qualify as a tax-free distribution within the
meaning of Section 355 of the Code, Odetics would recognize taxable gain
generally equal to the amount by which the fair market value of our common
stock distributed to Odetics' stockholders exceeds the taxable basis in our
assets. In addition, each Odetics stockholder who receives our common stock in
the spin-off would generally be treated as having received a taxable
distribution in an amount equal to the fair market value of our common stock.
If the spin-off qualified under Section 355 of the Code but was disqualified as
tax-free to Odetics because of certain post-spin-off circumstances, for
example, if any person acquired 50% or more of our common stock within two
years after the spin-off, Odetics could recognize taxable gain as described
above but the spin-off would generally be tax-free to each Odetics stockholder
as described in the preceding paragraph.

   The foregoing summarizes the material United States federal income tax
consequences of the spin-off under current law. You should consult your tax
advisor as to the particular circumstances of the spin-off to you, including
application of state, local and international tax laws, and as to possible
changes in tax law that may affect the tax consequences described above.

   Our Tax Allocation Agreement provides that we will indemnity Odetics for any
taxes imposed on, or other amounts paid by, Odetics, its agents and
representatives or its stockholders as a result of the failure of the spin-off
to qualify as a tax-free distribution within the meaning of Section 355 of the
Code if the failure or disqualification is attributable to certain post-spin-
off actions or failures to act by or with respect to us (including
subsidiaries) or our stockholders, such as the acquisition of Iteris by a third
party during the two-year period following the spin-off. See "Arrangements
Odetics -- Tax Allocation Agreement."

Listing and Trading of Our Common Stock

   Currently, there is no public market for our common stock. We have applied
to have our common stock approved for quotation on the Nasdaq National Market
under the trading symbol "ITER."

   The distribution of our common stock to the Odetics stockholders will occur
immediately prior to our initial public offering. At the request of the
underwriters of our initial public offering and as a condition to the spin-off
and our initial public offering, shares distributed to you in the spin-off will
not be publicly tradable until 180 days after the date of our prospectus
delivered in connection with our initial public offering. We expect that
"regular-way" trading, trading after giving effect to the spin-off, of our
common stock

                                       24
<PAGE>


distributed in the spin-off will begin after the 180 day restriction period.
After this restriction period, all of our shares will trade on a regular-way
basis. As a result, a temporary form of interim trading called "when-issued
trading" will not occur for our common stock.

   Odetics stock will continue to trade on a regular-way basis, including the
right to receive shares of Iteris common stock in the spin-off, up to and
including the record date for the spin-off. Odetics common stock will not trade
on a when-issued or ex-dividend basis prior to the date of the spin-off. On the
date of the spin-off, trading in Odetics common stock will reflect the value of
the distribution of our common stock.

   The prices at which our common stock will trade following the spin-off will
be determined by the marketplace and may be influenced by many factors,
including those set forth under "Risk Factors" and:

  .  the depth and liquidity of the market for our common stock;

  .  investor perceptions of us, our business and the markets in which we
     operate;

  .  our financial results; and

  .  general economic and market conditions.

   Shares of our common stock distributed to Odetics stockholders will be
marked with a legend restricting the public sale of the distributed shares
until 180 days after the date of our prospectus delivered in connection with
our initial public offering. In addition, stop transfer instructions will be
placed with the transfer agent for these shares. Following this restriction
period, the shares of our common stock that are distributed in the spin-off
will be freely transferable, except for securities received by persons deemed
to be our "affiliates" under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. See
"Shares Eligible for Future Sale."

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

   The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our
financial statements and notes included elsewhere in this information
statement. This information statement contains forward-looking statements that
involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially
from those discussed in such forward-looking statements. Factors that could
cause or contribute to such differences include those discussed below and in
"Risk Factors" and "Business."

Overview

   We design, develop, market and implement software based solutions which
improve the safety and efficiency of vehicle transportation. Our current
customers include federal, state, and other public agencies as well as vehicle
manufacturers from which we have limited revenue. We currently operate in two
business segments: sensors and systems. Our sensors segment has historically
consisted of our Vantage video vehicle detection systems and more recently our
AutoVue lane departure warning system. Our systems segment consists of our
transportation management and traveler information systems. For the fiscal
years ended March 31, 1998 and 1999 and the nine months ended December 31, 1998
and 1999, approximately 66% to 72% of our total revenue has been derived from
our systems segment. However, with the recent introduction of AutoVue and with
the continued growth of Vantage, we expect that revenue from our sensors
segment will represent an increasing percentage of total revenue.

   We began as a division of Odetics, Inc. in 1994 and incorporated as a
subsidiary of Odetics in October 1998. Odetics currently owns approximately 93%
of our outstanding common stock. Immediately prior to our initial public
offering, Odetics will distribute all of its shares of our common stock to its
stockholders in a tax-free spin-off. During the periods presented and through
the period prior to the spin-off, we have been charged by Odetics for expenses
allocable to our business and interest on debt owed to Odetics. Concurrent with
the spin-off, we will enter into a services agreement with Odetics for the
provision of treasury, accounting, tax, audit, legal and human resources
services, which will be charged to us on terms consistent with past practices.

   Prior to June 1997, our revenue consisted solely of sales from our Vantage
systems. In June 1997, we acquired certain assets from the transportation
systems business of Rockwell, which expanded our product offerings to include
transportation systems consulting and design services. The acquisition of
assets from Rockwell also provided us with some of the technologies for the
AutoVue system. We further augmented our transportation management and traveler
information systems design and consulting capabilities with the acquisition of
Meyer Mohaddes Associates, Inc. in October 1998, and the acquisition of the
assets of Viggen Corporation in January 1999.

   Revenue from the sale of sensors and the related costs of sales are
generally recognized on the date of shipment. Systems revenue is derived
primarily from long-term contracts with government agencies. Systems revenue
includes costs incurred plus a portion of estimated fees or profits determined
on the percentage of completion method of accounting based on the relationship
of costs incurred to total estimated costs. Revenue from follow-on service and
support after installation is recognized when earned.

   In our sensors business we design, assemble and test components of Vantage
and subcontract the manufacturing of AutoVue. As a result, cost of sales for
sensors include subassemblies purchased from outside sources, related
manufacturing overhead and direct labor. Our systems business is labor
intensive and often involves a significant amount of custom software
development. As a result, cost of sales for systems consists primarily of
wages, overhead and subcontracting costs. We do not manufacture or procure any
of the hardware components used in the systems that we design and implement.

   Our operating expenses are comprised of:

  .  research and development, which consist primarily of wages,
     subcontracting expenses, prototype materials and related overhead costs
     to support new systems development for AutoVue and Vantage;

                                       27
<PAGE>

  .  selling, general and administrative, which consist primarily of wages
     and related benefits, advertising and promotional expenses and travel
     expenses;

  .  charges allocated by Odetics, which consist of accounting, auditing,
     payroll processing, treasury functions, administration of employee
     incentive programs, marketing support, facilities and facilities
     management, certain legal services, insurance costs and other
     miscellaneous expenses; and

  .  other expenses, which primarily consists of goodwill amortization and
     non-recurring charges.

   Our operating expenses have increased significantly in recent periods as a
result of business acquisitions and growth in both our sensors and systems
segments. We expect our operating expenses to continue to increase to support
growth and as we separate from Odetics.

   We also pay interest charges on debt we owe to Odetics. Odetics has
historically advanced funds to meet our capital requirements and charged
interest on the resulting intercompany account balance using Odetics' cost of
the related borrowed funds which was 10.5% at December 31, 1999.

   Income tax expenses for each member of the Odetics consolidated group has
been allocated only to companies in the group with separate taxable income. As
of the date of our separation we will not have received any taxable benefit for
our accumulated losses. We expect to derive benefit from taxable losses
incurred in the future and will incur liabilities for future taxable income.

   We have incurred net operating losses and negative cash flows since our
inception. To date, our losses and working capital needs have been funded by
Odetics. We expect to continue to incur net losses and negative cash flows as
we seek to grow our business and implement our strategy.

Results of Operations

Nine Months Ended December 31, 1999 Compared with Nine Months Ended September
30, 1998

   Total Revenue. Total revenue increased by 67.8% to $17.4 million for the
nine months ended December 31, 1999 from $10.4 million for the nine months
ended December 31, 1998.

   Sensors revenue increased by 92.7% to $5.9 million for the nine months ended
December 31, 1999 from $3.1 million for the nine months ended December 31,
1998. Vantage sales comprised approximately 92% of sensors revenues in the
nine-months ended December 31, 1999 with the remainder comprised of sales of
AutoVue. The increase primarily represented increased sales as a result of
growth in our installed user base.

   Systems revenue increased by 57.4% to $11.6 million for the nine months
ended December 31, 1999 from $7.4 million for the nine months ended December
31, 1998. Included in the 1999 period was $4.5 million from the acquisition of
systems revenue from the acquisition of Meyer Mohaddes and of Viggen, and
included in the 1998 period was $1.6 million of revenue derived from a contract
with the City of Jinan, China. Excluding these items, systems revenue increased
$1.3 million, due to a general increase in systems activity. Approximately 54%
of our systems revenue was derived from cost plus fee contracts, with the
remainder represented by fixed price contracts.

   Gross Profit. Total gross profit increased to $5.7 million, or 32.7% of
total revenue, for the nine months ended December 31, 1999 from $3.0 million,
or 28.5% of total revenue, for the nine months ended December 31, 1998.

   Gross profit from sensors revenue increased to $2.6 million, or 44.2% of
sensors revenue, for the nine months ended December 31, 1999 from $709,000 or
23.2% of sensors revenue, for the nine months ended December 31, 1998. The
increase in gross profit on sensors revenue reflected increased sales of
Vantage and improved absorption of manufacturing overhead. In addition,
improved gross profit performance reflected the benefits of Vantage cost
reduction efforts.

   Gross profit from systems revenue increased to $3.1 million, or 26.8% of
systems revenue, for the nine months ended December 31, 1999 from $2.3 million,
or 30.7% of systems revenue, for the nine months ended December 31, 1998. The
dollar increase in gross profits of systems revenue reflected the 57.4%
increase in systems revenue in the nine months ended December 31, 1999. The
decline in gross profit as a percentage of systems revenue reflected the lower
relative gross profits of contracts acquired as part of the acquisition of
Meyer Mohaddes and of Viggen as well as lower gross profit from certain fixed
priced contracts during the nine months ended December 31, 1999.

   Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses
increased by 73.4% to $2.5 million, or 14.3% of total revenue, for the nine
months ended December 31, 1999 from $1.4, or 13.9% of total revenue, for the
nine months ended December 31, 1998. Research and development expenses
reflected new product development to support AutoVue and Vantage. These two
development programs consumed approximately equal levels of research and
development expenses in the nine months ended December 31, 1998. The increase
in research and development expenses in the nine months ended December 31, 1999
primarily reflected a 178% increase in expenses to support AutoVue development
as we continued to enhance performance, add features and functionality and
improve packaging, which was partially offset by reduced expenses for
development of Vantage.

   Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general, and
administrative expenses increased by 22.7% to $4.7 million, or 27.0% of total
revenue, for the nine months ended December 31, 1999 from $3.8 million, or
37.0% of total revenue, for the nine months ended December 31, 1998. The
acquisition of Meyer Mohaddes and of Viggen constituted approximately $730,000
of the increase. Approximately $890,000 of the increase primarily reflected the
addition of personnel and infrastructure to support Vantage and Autovue sales.
These increases were offset in part by cost savings resulting from our
completion and withdrawal of activities to support market activity in China.

                                       29
<PAGE>

   Charges Allocated by Odetics. Charges allocated by Odetics increased by
88.1% to $1.1 million, or 6.1% of total revenue, for the nine months ended
December 31, 1999 from $562,000, or 5.4% of total revenue, for the nine months
ended December 31, 1998. The increase was attributable to our expanding wage
base, higher square footage occupancy of facilities, and higher revenue
relative to Odetics' consolidated group revenue.

   Other Expenses. Other expenses increased by 86.6% to $819,000, or 4.7% of
total revenue, for the nine months ended December 31, 1999 from $439,000, or
4.2% of total revenue, for the nine months ended December 31, 1998. The
increase primarily represented the amortization of goodwill arising from the
acquisition of Meyer Mohaddes in October 1998 and Viggen in January 1999.

   Interest Charges Allocated by Odetics. Interest charges allocated by Odetics
increased by 41.4% to $2.2 million, or 12.6% of total revenue, in the nine
months ended December 31, 1999 from $1.6 million, or 14.9% of total revenue, in
the nine months ended December 31, 1998. The increase reflected increased
intercompany borrowings necessary to support our working capital requirements
and fund our operating losses.

   In addition, in connection with the issuance of the $3.75 million promissory
note to DaimlerChrysler Venture, during the quarter ended March 31, 2000, the
Company will recognize a $1.45 million non-cash interest charge to give
financial accounting recognition to the beneficial conversion feature contained
in the promissory note.

Year Ended March 31, 1999 Compared with Year Ended March 31, 1998

   Total Revenue. Total revenue increased by 149.6% to $14.6 million for the
fiscal year ended March 31, 1999 from $5.8 million for the fiscal year ended
March 31, 1998.

   Sensors revenue increased by 170.0% to $4.3 million in fiscal 1999 from $1.6
million in fiscal 1998. The increase in sensors revenue reflects increased unit
sales volume of Vantage across a broad customer base.

   Systems revenue increased by 141.9% to $10.2 million in fiscal 1999 from
$4.2 million in fiscal 1998. All of our systems revenue in fiscal 1998
reflected services performed by us on contracts acquired from Rockwell in June
1997. Fiscal 1999 systems revenue includes $1.6 million derived from a contract
with the City of Jinan, China. Approximately 21.2% of our systems revenue in
fiscal 1999 reflected revenue from the acquisitions of Meyer Mohaddes in
October 1998 and the assets of Viggen Corporation in January 1999. 59.0% of the
system revenue in fiscal 1999 was generated under cost plus fee and time and
material contracts, while the remaining revenue was derived from fixed price
contracts.

   Gross Profit. Total gross profit increased by 803.6% to $4.3 million, or
29.2% of total revenue, for fiscal 1999 from $471,000, or 8.1% of total
revenue, for fiscal 1998.

   Gross profit on sensors revenue totaled $1.2 million, or 27.9% of sensors
revenue in fiscal 1999 as compared to a gross profit (loss) of ($948,000), or
(59%) of sensors revenue, in fiscal 1998. Through fiscal 1998 Vantage had
limited sales volume and we incurred significant costs for direct labor,
manufacturing overhead and other manufacturing costs relative to its limited
sales. During fiscal 1998, gross profit on sensor revenue was also negatively
impacted by $800,000 of costs for upgrades to the installed base of an earlier
generation of Vantage, in addition to charges for inventory obsolescence
related to earlier design versions of Vantage. The improvement in gross profit
on sensors revenue in fiscal 1999 also reflected the benefit of increased sales
volume and manufacturing efficiencies. Also during fiscal 1999, we introduced
certain design changes to lower total cost.

   Gross profit on systems revenue increased by 114.7% to $3.0 million, or
29.7% of systems revenue, in fiscal 1999 from $1.4 million, or 33.5% of systems
revenue, in fiscal 1998. The slight decrease in gross profit as a percentage of
systems revenue in fiscal 1999 reflected the contribution of contracts from the
acquisitions of Meyer Mohaddes and the assets of Viggen. These acquired
contracts had associated lower gross profit percentages compared to our other
ongoing systems activities.

   Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expense
increased by 5.6% to $2.2 million, or 14.8% of total revenue, in fiscal 1999
from $2.0 million, or 34.9% of total revenue, in fiscal 1998. The increase in
research and development expense reflected the acceleration of development of
AutoVue during fiscal 1999, which was partially offset by a reduction in
development activities supporting Vantage.

                                       30
<PAGE>

Approximately 47% of our research and development expense in fiscal 1999 was
incurred to support AutoVue development efforts. As a percentage of total
revenue, research and development expenses declined sharply in fiscal 1999 as a
result of substantial increases in systems and sensors revenue in fiscal 1999.

   Selling, General and Administrative Expense. Selling, general and
administrative expense increased by 67.8% to $5.7 million, or 39.3% of total
revenue, in fiscal 1999 from $3.4 million, or 58.4% of total revenue, in fiscal
1998. Approximately $500,000 of the increase resulted from increased expenses
associated with the acquisition of Meyer Mohaddes and the assets of Viggen.
During fiscal 1999, we also expanded our sales and marketing efforts to support
increases in both systems and sensor revenue. As a percentage of total revenue,
selling, general and administrative expenses declined in fiscal 1999 as a
result of substantial increases in systems and sensors revenue in fiscal 1999.

   Charges Allocated by Odetics. Charges allocated by Odetics increased by
92.4% to $881,000, or 6.0% of total revenue, in fiscal 1999 from $458,000, or
7.8% of total revenue, in fiscal 1998. The increase was attributable to our
expanding wage base, higher square footage occupancy of facilities, and higher
revenue relative to Odetics' consolidated group revenue.

   Other Expenses. Other expenses decreased by 8.2% to $700,000, or 4.8% of
total revenue, in fiscal 1999 from $647,000, or 11.1% of total revenue, in
fiscal 1998. Other expenses in fiscal 1999 consisted of goodwill amortization
related to the acquisition of certain assets of the transportation systems
business from Rockwell in June 1997 and the acquisitions of Meyer Mohaddes in
October 1998 and the assets of Viggen in January 1999. Other expenses in fiscal
1998 included goodwill amortization related to the acquisition of certain
assets of Rockwell and non-recurring charges of approximately $200,000 related
to the wind-down of our business development activities in China in fiscal
1998.

   Interest Charges Allocated by Odetics. Interest charges allocated by Odetics
increased by 61.2% to $2.2 million in fiscal 1999, or 14.9% of total revenue,
from $1.3 million, or 23.0% of total revenue, in fiscal 1998. The increase
reflected increased intercompany borrowings necessary to support our working
capital requirements and fund our operating losses.

Year Ended March 31, 1998 Compared with Year Ended March 31, 1997

   Total Revenue. Total revenue increased by 985.7% to $5.8 million for the
fiscal year ended March 31, 1998 from $538,000 for the fiscal year ended March
31, 1997.

   Sensors revenue increased by 198.7% to $1.6 million in fiscal 1998 from
$538,000 in fiscal 1997. The increase in sensors revenue primarily reflected
increased unit sales of Vantage.

   Systems revenue of $4.2 million in fiscal 1998 reflects services performed
by us on contracts acquired from Rockwell. No systems revenue was recognized in
fiscal 1997. 72% of the systems revenue in fiscal 1998 was generated under cost
plus fee and time and material contracts, while the remaining systems revenue
was derived from fixed price contracts.

   Gross Profit. Total gross profit increased by 592.6% to $471,000, or 8.1% of
total revenue, for fiscal 1998 from $68,000, or 12.6% of total revenue, for
fiscal 1997.

   Gross profit (loss) on sensors revenue totaled ($948,000), or (59%) of
sensors revenue, in fiscal 1998 as compared to a gross profit of $68,000, or
12.6% of sensors revenue, in fiscal 1997. Prior to fiscal 1998, all of our
gross profit (loss) was derived from sales of Vantage. During fiscal 1998
Vantage had limited sales volume and we incurred significant costs for direct
labor, manufacturing overhead and other manufacturing costs relative to its
limited volume. During fiscal 1998, gross profit on sensors revenue was also
negatively impacted by $800,000 of costs for upgrades to the installed base of
an earlier generation of Vantage, in addition to charges for inventory
obsolescence related to earlier design versions of Vantage systems.

   Gross profit on systems revenue was 33.5% of systems revenue in fiscal 1998.

                                       31

   Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses
decreased by 14.3% to $2.0 million, or 34.9% of total revenue, in fiscal 1998
from $2.4 million, or 442.0% of total revenue, in fiscal 1997. The decrease
primarily reflected the completion of development of Vantage Plus during fiscal
1998, which was partially offset by new product development activities related
to AutoVue. Approximately 23.0% of our research and development expenses in
fiscal 1998 were incurred to support AutoVue development efforts. As a
percentage of total revenue, research and development expenses declined sharply
in fiscal 1998 as a result of a substantial increase in systems revenue in
fiscal 1998.

   Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased by 142.0% to $3.4 million, or 58.4% of total
revenue, in fiscal 1998 from $1.4 million, or 262.3% of total revenue, in
fiscal 1997. The increase was due primarily to the acquisition of certain
assets of the transportation systems business of Rockwell in June 1997 in
addition to increased spending to support our marketing and sales proposal
efforts in China.

   Charges Allocated by Odetics. Charges allocated by Odetics increased by
336.2% to $458,000, or 7.8% of total revenue, in fiscal 1998 from $105,000, or
19.5% of total revenue, in fiscal 1997. The increase was attributable to our
expanding wage base, higher square footage occupancy of facilities, and higher
revenues relative to Odetics' consolidated group revenues.

   Other Expenses. Other expenses for fiscal 1998 represented goodwill
amortization related to the acquisition of certain assets of the transportation
systems business from Rockwell in June 1997 and other non-recurring charges of
approximately $200,000 related to the wind-down of our market development
activities in China.

   Interest Charges Allocated by Odetics. Interest charges allocated by Odetics
increased by 97.6% to $1.3 million, or 23.0% of total revenue, in fiscal 1998
from $680,000, or 126.4% of total revenue, in fiscal 1997. The increase
reflected increased intercompany borrowings necessary to support our working
capital requirements, fund our operating losses and support acquisition
activities.

Quarterly Results of Operations

   Total Revenue. Sensors revenue in all quarters presented primarily reflected
sales of Vantage with the exception of the quarter ended December 31, 1999
which included $382,000 of revenue from sales of AutoVue. Systems revenue in
the quarter ended June 30, 1998 included $1.4 million of revenue derived from a
contract with the City of Jinan, China which was substantially completed in
such quarter. Systems revenue in the quarter ended December 31, 1998 includes
the contributions of revenue from the acquisition of Meyer Mohaddes.

   Gross Profit. Gross profit as a percentage of sensors revenue rose to 53.0%
in the quarter ended June 30, 1999, reflecting the benefit of direct sales of
Vantage to a customer that yielded higher than customary gross profit margins.
Quarterly gross profits on systems revenue are subject to fluctuation as a
result of changes in estimates used in percentage of completion accounting.

   Expenses. Our operating expenses have generally increased over each of the
last seven quarters ended December 31, 1999 as we have increased investments in
our sales, marketing and administrative infrastructure to support growth.
Research and development expenses have increased to support expansion of
Vantage and to support investments in AutoVue. In the quarter ended March 31,
1999 selling, general, and administrative expenses included a charge of
approximately $353,000 representing deferred financing costs.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

   From April 1, 1996 through December 31, 1999, we have incurred cumulative
losses of $24.9 million. Our cumulative negative cash flow from operating
activities, primarily as a result of those losses for such period, was $27.2
million. During fiscal 1998, we used $2.2 million in cash to acquire certain
assets of the transportation systems business from Rockwell. To date, we have
relied upon interest bearing advances from Odetics to provide the necessary
cash to support our working capital requirements, fund our operating losses and
support acquisition activities. Days sales in accounts receivable were 73 days
at December 31, 1999 compared to 96 days at March 31, 1999 and 38 days at March
31, 1998. The increase at March 31, 1999 resulted primarily from incremented
accounts receivable that accompanied the acquisitions of Meyer Mohaddes and of
Viggen. At December 31, 1999, we owed Odetics approximately $37.6 million as a
result of the net advances made to us since our inception including accrued
interest. $10.0 million of the net proceeds received from our initial public
offering will be paid by us to Odetics as a reduction of principal on this
obligation. An additional principal amount of approximately $12.9 million will
be cancelled by Odetics and treated as a contribution to capital. The balance
of the obligation then due will be $14.7 million, which will be converted to a
promissory note, payable in interest only for the first year and in 16
quarterly installments of principal and interest thereafter.

   We are currently co-borrowers with Odetics under a joint Loan and Security
Agreement with Transamerica Business Credit Corporation and are jointly and
severally liable for all amounts advanced. The maximum amount available under
this credit facility is $17.0 million, of which no borrowings were outstanding
at December 31, 1999. This facility provides for borrowings at a prime rate as
defined in the agreement, (8.5% at December 31, 1999), plus 2.00%. The
borrowings under this facility are secured by substantially all of our assets.
Upon consummation of the spin-off we will no longer be a co-borrower under this
facility and the security interests in our assets will be released. Shortly
after our initial public offering, we intend to establish our own line of
credit. However, we cannot ensure that we will be successful in obtaining this
line of credit on acceptable terms, if at all.

   At December 31, 1999, we had a net capital deficiency of $25.0 million as a
result of accumulated losses since our inception. Upon completion of our
initial public offering, we anticipate that we will have sufficient capital to
fund our operations for a period of at least two years. We may in the future
require additional funds through bank financings, debt or equity offerings or
other sources of capital. Such additional funding may not be available when
needed or on terms acceptable by us, which would have a material adverse effect
on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Impact of the Year 2000

   Many existing computer systems and applications, and other control devices
were designed to use two digits rather than four digits to define an applicable
year. As a result, such systems and applications may be unable to recognize the
year 2000 and could fail or create erroneous results. These problems are
commonly referred to as the year 2000 problem. Through February 17, 2000, we
have experienced no significant problems resulting from the Year 2000 issue.

   We have evaluated each of our products and believe that each is
substantially year 2000 compliant. We have adopted the British Standards
Institute standard for its statements of compliance regarding the year 2000
problem. We believe that it is not possible to determine whether all of our
customers' products into which our products are incorporated will be year 2000
compliant because we have little or no control over the design, production and
testing of our customers' products.

   The year 2000 problem could affect the systems, transaction processing
computer applications and devices that we use to operate and monitor all major
aspects of our business, including financial systems (such as general ledger,
accounts payable, and payroll), customer services, infrastructure, master
productions scheduling, materials requirement planning, test equipment,
security systems, networks and telecommunications systems. We believe that we
have identified and corrected substantially all of the major systems, software
applications and related equipment used in connection with our internal
operations that required modification or upgrading in order to minimize the
possibility of a material disruption to our business. Because most of our
software applications are recent versions of vendor supported, commercially
available products, we have not incurred, and do not expect in the future to
incur, significant costs to upgrade these applications.

   We estimate that Odetics has expended approximately $500,000 addressing year
2000 issues for its consolidated group, a portion of which was allocated to us.
Assuming we have identified our most significant year 2000 issues and that the
plans of our third party suppliers will be fulfilled in a timely manner without
cost to us, we do not expect to incur any additional significant costs to
address year 2000 issues. We cannot be sure that these assumptions are
accurate, and actual results could differ materially from those we anticipate.

   We have developed contingency plans to address the year 2000 issues that may
pose a significant risk to our on-going operations. These plans include
accelerated replacement of affected equipment and software, temporary use of
back-up equipment and software or the implementation of manual procedures to
compensate for system deficiencies. We cannot be certain that any contingency
plans implemented by us are adequate to meet our needs without materially
impacting our operations, that any such plan will be successful or that our
results of operations would not be materially and adversely affected by the
delays and inefficiencies inherent in conducting operations in an alternative
manner.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

   Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial
position, operating results or cash flows due to adverse changes in financial
and commodity market prices and rates. We are exposed to market risk due to
changes in United States interest rates. This exposure is directly related to
our normal operating and funding activities. Historically and as of December
31, 1999, we have not used derivative instruments or engaged in hedging
activities.

   The interest payable on our obligation payable to Odetics is variable based
on the prime rate, and, therefore, affected by changes in market interest
rates. We have managed interest rate risk by remitting all cash we received to
Odetics to minimize the amount of such obligation outstanding at any point in
time. Following the completion of our initial public offering, we expect to
reduce our outstanding indebtedness to Odetics to $14.7 million, which will be
evidenced by a note payable over the 20 fiscal quarters following completion of
our initial public offering with interest payable at variable rates. As a
result, we expect to continue to have exposure to interest rate risk.

                                    BUSINESS

Our Company

   We design, develop, market and implement software based solutions that
improve the safety and efficiency of vehicle transportation. Using our
proprietary software and ITS industry expertise, we are a leading provider of
video sensor systems and transportation management and traveler information
systems for the ITS industry. The ITS industry is comprised of companies
applying a variety of technologies to enable the safe and efficient movement of
people and goods. We use our outdoor image recognition software expertise to
develop proprietary algorithms for video sensor systems that improve vehicle
safety and the flow of traffic. Our knowledge of the ITS industry enables us to
design and implement transportation solutions that help public agencies reduce
traffic congestion and provide greater access to traveler information. Our ITS
systems and solutions include:

  .  Sensors. Our proprietary image recognition systems include AutoVue and
     Vantage. AutoVue is a small windshield mounted sensor that utilizes
     proprietary software to detect and warn drivers of unintended lane
     departures. Through new software development we are expanding the
     AutoVue platform to incorporate additional safety and convenience
     features. Vantage is a video vehicle sensing system that detects the
     presence of vehicles at signalized intersections enabling a more
     efficient allocation of green signal time.

  .  Transportation Management and Traveler Information Systems. We design,
     develop and implement software based systems that integrate sensors,
     video surveillance, computers and advanced communications equipment
     enabling public agencies to monitor, control and direct traffic flow,
     assist in the quick dispatch of emergency crews and distribute real-time
     information about traffic conditions and alternative routes.

Market Overview

   According to a study conducted for the U.S. Department of Transportation,
traffic congestion cost the American public more than $72 billion in 1997 in
lost time and wasted fuel in the United States. Over 40,000 people are killed
and 3 million more injured each year in traffic accidents in the United States
according to 1998 National Highway Traffic Safety Administration data. The
total economic cost of motor vehicle crashes in the United States was $150.5
billion according to the most recent data published by NHTSA in 1994, and the
personal costs due to lost lives and injuries are incalculable. To address the
high economic and personal costs associated with traffic congestion and
accidents, the ITS industry has identified technological solutions which can
cost effectively add capacity to our roads and improve roadway safety.

   The U.S. DOT, believes that a combination of ITS and new road construction
will accommodate future traffic growth at a 35% savings as opposed to meeting
the same demand with construction alone. The federal government has stimulated
the implementation of ITS systems by allocating significant federal funding for
research and development of ITS related projects, including approximately $1.28
billion over six years through 2003. Conformance with the National ITS
Architecture standards gives access to additional federal funding for ITS
projects from subsequent legislative appropriations. Additionally, state and
local funding is available for ITS projects.

   The U.S. DOT estimates the benefit-to-cost ratio of deploying ITS
infrastructure in the 75 largest metropolitan areas to be approximately eight-
to-one. The U.S. DOT also estimates that ITS applications will eliminate 1.2
million crashes per year, saving thousands of lives and $26 billion in lost
productivity.

   We believe the key market drivers for the ITS industry are the demand for
improved vehicle safety, the demand for reduced traffic congestion and the
demand for the availability of personalized traveler information.

 Demand for Improved Vehicle Safety

   Consumers are concerned with safety on roadways and are increasingly
demanding that the vehicles they buy include effective safety features.
Traditionally, many of the safety features designed for vehicles have

                                       36
<PAGE>

focused on protecting occupants from injury caused by an accident, such as seat
belts and air bags, as opposed to accident prevention. Now, however, we believe
vehicle manufacturers are focusing on safety features that are designed to
prevent accidents. This trend has accelerated the demand for "collision
avoidance" technologies to enhance vehicle safety.

   There were more than 12 million passenger cars, trucks and buses produced in
the United States in 1997. We believe that lane departure warning systems may
be deployed in a significant number of these types of vehicles produced in the
future. As vehicle manufacturers and their customers increasingly focus on
vehicle safety, the market for collision avoidance sensor systems is expected
to grow from $45 million in 1997 to $320 million in 2002 according to the
Freedonia Group, a market research company. These statistics do not include
international markets.

 Demand for Reduced Traffic Congestion

   In 1998, there were more than 200 million vehicles in operation in the
United States according to Automotive News. Better Roads, an ITS trade
publication, estimates that in the past 10 years the amount of travel on
interstate highways has grown by 30% and that the demand for roadway travel is
expected to increase by another 50% over the next 20 years. For drivers this
means more lost time and problems. According to the U.S. DOT, in 1995,
Americans spent more than two billion hours in traffic jams. In addition to
economic costs, traffic congestion leads to frustration among travelers and
adverse effects on the environment due to increased emissions from wasted fuel
burning. The Texas Transportation Institute estimates that over 6 billion
gallons of fuel were wasted in 1997 due to traffic congestion.

   Increased traffic congestion is primarily the result of more vehicles on
U.S. highways and the difficulty of expanding or creating new roadways due to a
substantially built-out infrastructure. As a result, governmental
transportation agencies are increasingly using ITS to monitor and regulate
traffic. Transport Technology Publishing, a leading industry market research
firm, projects the market for vehicle detection systems to grow from an average
of approximately $500 million per year in the period from 1994 to 1998 to over
$800 million per year in the period from 1998 to 2003 and that the market for
alternative technologies to in-pavement inductive loops, including video based
systems, is growing at over 26% per year.

   Recognizing the potential impact of traffic congestion on our economy and
environment, the federal government has been active in drafting legislation to
decrease traffic congestion and increase the safety and efficiency of U.S.
highways. A primary example is the development of the National ITS
Architecture, which defined a framework for systems integration and identified
a set of standards to be used by transportation agencies when designing their
transportation management systems. Additionally, in 1996, the U.S. DOT launched
Operation Time Saver with the objective of implementing an intelligent
transportation infrastructure in 75 of the largest metropolitan areas within 10
years. Hagler Bailly, a leading market research firm for the ITS industry,
estimates that the market for ITS infrastructure will be in excess of $4
billion in 2000.

 Demand for the Availability of Personalized Traveler Information

   Traditionally, a limited amount of traffic information has been disseminated
over the radio. This information is typically untimely and impersonal. Because
of increased traffic congestion, drivers are demanding more timely and accurate
traffic information. Drivers want to know traffic conditions on their intended
route to assist them in deciding when to start a trip, what their estimated
arrival time will be, which route to take and whether a change in route is
necessary. This increase in the demand for traffic information is evidenced by
the proliferation of web sites that now offer traffic information.

Our Solution

   We believe we are a market leader in the ITS industry in the United States.
We design, develop, market and implement software based solutions to address
the demands of the vehicle transportation industry, including

                                       37
<PAGE>

improving vehicle safety, reducing traffic congestion and increasing the
availability of personalized traffic information. Our proprietary outdoor image
processing software and algorithms are incorporated into our AutoVue and
Vantage video sensor systems. AutoVue is currently the only commercially-
available lane departure warning system and Vantage is a leader in the market
for video vehicle detection systems.

   We are also a leading provider of transportation management and traveler
information systems, which incorporate our customized systems integration
software and commercial software that we have developed. We are one of the two
companies selected by the U.S. DOT to develop and maintain the National ITS
Architecture. This has enabled us to develop invaluable experience with the
standards mandated by the federal government and to establish a reputation as
an expert on the National ITS Architecture.

   Our ITS systems and solutions address the demands to improve safety and
efficiency of vehicle transportation in the following manner:

   By combining our proprietary software with our ITS industry expertise, we
believe we are uniquely positioned to deliver a broad array of innovative ITS
systems and solutions.

Our Strategy

   Our objective is to enhance our position as a leading provider of software
based ITS systems and solutions to the vehicle transportation industry by
leveraging our ITS expertise and capitalizing on industry trends. The key
elements of our strategy include:

   Combine Our Proprietary Software with Our ITS Industry Expertise to Provide
Transportation Solutions. Consumers and transportation authorities are looking
for safer, non-intrusive technological transportation solutions. As a result,
we developed our Vantage system to provide a more efficient means of monitoring
and controlling traffic at signalized intersections and on highways. In
addition, our transportation management and traveler information systems reduce
traffic congestion, improve vehicle safety and disseminate traveler
information. We intend to use our proprietary software and ITS industry
expertise to provide fully-integrated intelligent transportation management and
traveler information systems that enable traffic managers

                                       38
<PAGE>

to efficiently monitor and direct traffic flow, promptly dispatch emergency
vehicles to clear accidents, continuously monitor highway operations and
accurately provide information to travelers about delays or alternative routes.

   Establish AutoVue as the Leading Platform for In-vehicle Video Sensing. We
designed AutoVue to accommodate software upgrades that provide sensing
functions in addition to warning drivers of unintended lane departures.
Initially these additional functions will be focused on safety and convenience.
Our proprietary software algorithms and the scalable design of the AutoVue
system enable us to add these functions at low marginal costs. Therefore, the
AutoVue system not only has the capacity to provide improved safety and
additional convenience features, but may also significantly reduce the cost to
vehicle manufacturers who otherwise might purchase multiple sensors from
different suppliers. We also intend to expand our direct sales force and
applications engineering capability to further increase market penetration for
AutoVue systems.

   Provide Personalized Traveler Information to Travelers Through Wireless
Communication Devices and the Mobile Internet. We intend to utilize our
knowledge and experience in the areas of transportation management and traveler
information systems, the Internet and wireless communications to provide a new,
higher level of information to travelers. Personalized traveler information
includes information on road and weather conditions, traffic congestion, travel
times and suggested routes provided directly to travelers based on their
personal profiles. We intend to disseminate timely and accurate information
compiled from data collected from a variety of sources, such as video
surveillance, vehicle sensor systems and transportation management systems.

   Pursue Strategic Acquisitions and Alliances. Since 1995, we acquired three
ITS firms and have been jointly developing technology for AutoVue with
DaimlerChrysler. These acquisitions and alliances have provided us with new
technologies, customers and experienced technical personnel. We intend to
pursue new strategic acquisitions and alliances with:

  .  other developers of sensor systems and software technologies that will
     complement our existing business by delivering increased functionality
     and allow us to market our systems and solutions to new customers;

  .  other firms that design transportation management and traveler
     information systems to expand our presence into areas where we can gain
     significant contracts, valuable personnel and exposure to state and
     local transportation agencies; and

  .  wireless communications and Internet service providers who have
     interests in the delivery of personalized traveler information.

   Broaden Our Systems and Solutions Offerings and Expand Our Penetration of
International Markets. We intend to generate additional revenue by expanding
our systems and solutions to address related applications and market segments
which utilize our proprietary software technologies, increasing our geographic
coverage and leveraging our sales and distribution channels. For example, we
intend to market wireless Vantage systems that enhance our ability to address
retrofit applications. Similarly, we are targeting new applications and
geographic expansion opportunities for the software and system designs we
incorporate in our transportation management and traveler information systems.
We also intend to increase our sales and marketing efforts internationally,
particularly in Europe and Asia, where trends such as increased demand for
vehicle safety and increased traffic congestion are similar to those in the
United States.

Our Products and Services

 Sensor Systems

   Our sensor systems combine our proprietary software and algorithms with
advanced outdoor video image processing to deliver roadway image recognition
and vehicle detection systems that contribute to increase vehicle safety and
reduce traffic congestion.

   AutoVue. We have developed what we believe to be currently the only
commercially-available unintended lane departure warning system for heavy
trucks and are marketing AutoVue for installation also in passenger cars

                                       39
<PAGE>

and light and medium trucks. AutoVue is a windshield mounted device that is
approximately the size of a deck of cards which serves as a platform for an
image processing camera and on-board computer system. AutoVue utilizes software
based upon our proprietary algorithms to predict effectively driving behavior
and driver reactions in order to differentiate between intended and unintended
lane departures. For example, the use of a directional signal or sudden lane
changes will not elicit a warning. We integrated these software applications
with our video image processing technologies to create an image sensing
platform that recognizes the difference between the roadway and lane markings
and accurately monitors a vehicle's placement within the lane markings. As a
vehicle travels down a roadway, the AutoVue system tracks both solid and dashed
lane markings. The AutoVue computer processor combines this data with the
vehicle's speed to calculate the proper lane positioning of the vehicle. When a
vehicle traveling at 35 miles per hour or more begins to drift towards an
unintended lane departure, AutoVue sends a distinctive rumble strip sound
through the vehicle's audio system, alerting the driver to make a correction.
AutoVue works effectively both day and night and in most weather conditions
where the lane markings are visible. AutoVue incorporates technology that we
and DaimlerChrysler Corporation have been jointly developing for over four
years.

   The illustration below demonstrates the perspective of AutoVue while
tracking lane markings:

                             [GRAPHIC APPEARS HERE]

   Through new software development we are expanding the AutoVue platform to
incorporate additional safety and convenience features. Our proprietary
algorithms and the scalable design of AutoVue enable us to add these additional
features at low marginal costs. AutoVue not only allows vehicle manufacturers
to respond to increasing safety demands, but also provides the opportunity to
reduce costs, increase functionality and consolidate their supplier base.

   We expect to ship AutoVue for installation in selected models of Mercedes'
European heavy trucks in the first half of calendar year 2000. We have also
developed an AutoVue system modified for driving and road conditions in North
America and also expect to begin shipments to Freightliner in the first half of
calendar year 2000. In addition, we have delivered AutoVue system prototypes to
other leading vehicle manufacturers for evaluation and test. Our software
engineers are currently developing upgrades to the AutoVue system that will
work with existing AutoVue image sensing technology to deliver additional
safety and convenience features.

   Vantage. Our Vantage system is a market leader for video vehicle detection.
Vantage incorporates proprietary image processing technologies to provide
reliable and easy to implement vehicle detection at

                                       40
<PAGE>

signalized intersections and on highways. Vantage cameras, mounted on the arm
of street lights or traffic signals at intersections, send video images to a
Vantage processor located in a roadside cabinet. The processor analyzes the
image to detect vehicle presence enabling the traffic controller to allocate
effectively green signal time. The Vantage video processor includes built-in
programming capability, eliminating the need for a separate computer. This
makes our system very easy to use by traffic system maintenance technicians.

   The illustration below demonstrates a two approach camera placement of a
Vantage system:


                             [GRAPHIC APPEARS HERE]
   We believe that Vantage provides a more reliable, flexible and easy to use
and maintain solution than in-pavement inductive loops. In addition to vehicle
detection, Vantage offers functions including remote programming of detection
zones and remote real-time monitoring. Vantage can also provide an attractive
cost of ownership in comparison to inductive loops, which are vulnerable to
failure due to road construction, weather conditions and ground movement.
Maintenance and repair costs for these inductive loops are significant.
Additionally, because inductive loops are buried beneath the roadway surface,
entire lanes of traffic must be diverted when inductive loops are installed,
replaced or serviced and they are ineffective when traffic is diverted during
road repairs and resurfacing projects. Vantage systems are currently used in
over 150 cities in the United States and nine cities in Canada and Asia.
Vantage has been adopted as a method of vehicle detection in cities such as
Santa Barbara, California; Las Vegas, Nevada; St. Louis, Missouri; Omaha,
Nebraska; and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and by such transportation agencies as
the Colorado Department of Transportation, the Nevada Department of
Transportation, the Texas Department of Transportation, the Virginia Department
of Transportation and the Ministry of Transportation in Ontario, Canada.

   We currently offer the following Vantage systems, each of which addresses a
distinct market segment:

  .  Vantage Plus consists of an advanced processor that can be deployed with
     one to six video cameras mounted at an intersection for vehicle
     detection on up to six different roadway approaches. Each of these
     cameras can accurately provide up to 24 detection zones in a single
     roadway approach. Vantage Plus is often deployed at new or fully
     refurbished intersections.

  .  Vantage One incorporates the vehicle detection technology of Vantage
     Plus into a modular, single camera system for affordable video detection
     on a flexible, per camera basis. Vantage One provides video detection
     for a single intersection approach, enabling our customers to retrofit
     cost effectively in-pavement inductive loops one approach to an
     intersection at a time.

                                       41
<PAGE>

  .  Vantage Edge incorporates the same vehicle detection algorithms found in
     Vantage Plus and Vantage One into a processor designed to plug easily
     into standard Type 170 cabinets, a widely used type of traffic control
     cabinet in the United States.

  .  Vantage Remote Access System, or VRAS, is a software application that
     may be installed on any personal computer equipped with a modem. Traffic
     agencies typically use VRAS to perform system diagnostics and
     reconfigure detection zones for each Vantage camera from a remote
     location. The VRAS allows traffic control personnel to view images to
     visually verify traffic conditions and emergency situations.

  .  Vantage Wireless Systems incorporate the full functionality of the
     Vantage family of systems in a wireless architecture, obviating the need
     to run coaxial cables from the camera to the traffic control cabinets.

 Transportation Management and Traveler Information Systems

   We design, implement and maintain transportation management and traveler
information systems for local, state and federal agencies to improve vehicle
safety, reduce traffic congestion and disseminate information. We also design
customized software applications to link independent transportation management
and traveler information systems. These systems allow transportation agencies
to manage their transportation networks in a real-time and coordinated fashion
by using a variety of detection, communication, and information technologies.
Our systems also provide traffic information necessary to enable drivers to
avoid traffic congestion. As one of only two companies awarded a contract to
develop and maintain the National ITS Architecture, we have the experience to
design, implement and maintain transportation management and traveler
information systems that conform with the National ITS Architecture. We believe
this experience provides us with unique insight into emerging market trends and
product opportunities and a significant competitive market advantage.
Transportation management and traveler information systems are the basic
building blocks of successful intelligent transportation systems.

   The illustration below demonstrates some of the typical elements of a fully
integrated transportation management and traveler information system which
enables traffic control officials to monitor continuously highway operations,
efficiently manage traffic flow, promptly dispatch emergency assistance and
provide information to travelers about delays or alternative routes:

                             [GRAPHIC APPEARS HERE]

                                       42
<PAGE>

   Systems Design and Implementation. A transportation management system
typically consists of a transportation management center that houses computers,
software and video surveillance monitors used to process and display traffic
data gathered from roadway sensors, video surveillance cameras, and other
sources. This data is delivered to the transportation management center through
communication pathways, including fiber optic lines and wireless technologies.
Transportation management center staff analyze the data using software
applications that convert the raw data into useful information. This
information may be disseminated through changeable message signs, highway
advisory radios and telephones, cable television, commercial radio, paging
networks and the Internet for a variety of commercial and government uses.
These uses include traffic management, freight and fleet management, toll
administration, emergency services, commercial vehicle operations, traveler
information services and transit management. We believe there will be demand
for this information by consumers through PDAs, cellular telephones, pagers,
in-vehicle computers and the mobile Internet.

   We often serve as the primary contractor throughout the development of the
customer's entire transportation management and traveler information system.
For example, we worked with the Michigan Department of Transportation to deploy
and maintain one of the nation's largest integrated traffic management and
traveler information systems located in the metropolitan Detroit area. Our
software enabled the integration of more than 1,200 vehicle detectors, 43
changeable message signs, 12 highway advisory radios, 145 closed-circuit
television surveillance cameras and 10 ramp metering stations. Our innovative
design, incorporating an existing fiber optic ring with wireless communication
technologies to collect information from roadway detection devices and
disseminate traffic advisories to drivers, resulted in an affordable and
effective freeway management system that serves as a model for other
transportation departments.

   Maintenance. In addition to designing and implementing transportation
management and traveler information systems, our staff of engineers and
technicians maintains and upgrades existing systems on a contract basis. We
believe that our significant experience in the design and implementation of ITS
projects uniquely positions us to maintain and upgrade existing systems on
behalf of transportation agencies on a cost effective basis. Our maintenance
teams utilize specialized software to diagnose malfunctioning equipment and
provide automated documentation and reporting when problems are detected. Our
staff of engineers and technicians are available 24 hours a day to perform
preventive maintenance, remedial maintenance and emergency maintenance on
damaged systems.

   Commercial Software. We design customized software applications that link
independent transportation management centers to enable a comprehensive
monitoring of regional traffic conditions and to provide communications among
transportation agencies. We have also developed and license several
commercially-available proprietary software applications to facilitate systems
design and integration. Our DATEX Toolkit software assists in the
implementation of a communications protocol to enable the sharing of traffic
data among transportation management centers using the Datex-Asn standard,
while our SpecWizard software assists transportation engineers in designing ITS
systems that comply with National ITS Architecture based standards. In
addition, our VECTURA Internet data publishing software utilizes "push"
technology which moves information from a central database to web and custom
application servers to accommodate user requests for information. VECTURA
enables the availability of information without degrading the performance or
compromising the security of a central database. Our EzHCM software assists
transportation engineers in performing complex highway capacity calculations.

Technology and Intellectual Property

   We have developed expertise in several important technology areas, including
software to enhance the applications of outdoor image processing cameras,
communication linkage software for the integration of management systems, and
low cost image processing hardware design and assembly techniques. Our advanced
expertise of algorithms and outdoor imaging technologies form the foundation
upon which AutoVue and Vantage systems are built. The software applications
installed in our sensors incorporate image processing algorithms for outdoor
image recognition based upon complex mathematical calculations in order to
operate in

                                       43
<PAGE>

diverse lighting and inclement weather conditions and to mitigate the effects
of camera motion. We have developed these image processing algorithms
internally for Vantage and jointly with DaimlerChrysler over a period of four
years for AutoVue. We also employ our design expertise to develop electronic
components for AutoVue to mitigate the effects of severe automotive operating
environments.

   We have developed expertise in system integration techniques, data
communication protocols, and emerging ITS architecture standards as a result of
designing and implementing transportation management and traveler information
systems. We use state-of-the-art database and distributed computing
architectures, including CORBA and Enterprise JavaBean, to facilitate the
distribution of information over the Internet for our transportation management
and traveler information systems customers.

   We currently have five U.S. patents and various other foreign patents for
image recognition technologies that we use in our ITS business. We intend to
aggressively pursue patent protection for our proprietary technologies
incorporated in our AutoVue and Vantage systems. We also rely on a combination
of copyright, trademark, and trade secret laws, confidentiality procedures and
contractual provisions to protect our intellectual property.

Key Relationships with Vehicle Manufacturers

   We intend to use our relationships to build upon brand awareness and
worldwide distribution channels of major vehicle manufacturers and to further
penetrate our target markets. We have entered into the following key
relationships:

 DaimlerChrysler

   AutoVue incorporates technology that we jointly developed with the
DaimlerChrysler Corporation and integrates proprietary technologies of both
companies. As part of our development agreement, DaimlerChrysler granted us a
license to use their driver heuristics algorithms for the software applications
incorporated in AutoVue. While our right to use this license is perpetual, we
have agreed to pay DaimlerChrysler a 3% royalty of net sales of all lane
departure warning applications of AutoVue systems sold to non-DaimlerChrysler
vehicle manufacturers through July 1, 2002.

   We recently completed successful testing of AutoVue in Mercedes' European
heavy trucks, and entered into an agreement with DaimlerChrysler to serve as
DaimlerChrysler's exclusive production source until July 2000 for AutoVue
systems installed in Mercedes' European heavy trucks.

   On January 25, 2000 we entered into a subordinated convertible note purchase
agreement with DaimlerChrysler Venture in which DaimlerChrysler Venture
invested $3.75 million that shall automatically convert into approximately 2.5%
of our outstanding common stock immediately prior to the closing of our initial
public offering. This investment enhances our strategic relationship with
DaimlerChrysler. As part of the agreement, DaimlerChrysler Venture has agreed
to facilitate the adoption of AutoVue in DaimlerChrysler commercial vehicles
and passenger cars. DaimlerChrysler Venture has also agreed to support our
efforts to develop a personalized traveler information system targeted at
DaimlerChrysler's customer base.

 Freightliner

   In January 1999, we entered into an agreement with Freightliner for the
development of an AutoVue system modified for driving and road conditions in
North America. We have shipped several prototypes to Freightliner and they have
started commercial testing of the systems in their Class 3-8 trucks. As part of
our Freightliner agreement, we granted Freightliner an exclusive three year
right, following the commercial availability of AutoVue in North America, to
purchase AutoVue from us for resale to manufacturers of Class 3-8 trucks
destined for use in North America.

                                       44

Sales and Marketing

 Sensor Systems

   Our marketing strategy for AutoVue is to establish it as the leading
platform for in-vehicle video sensing for trucks and passenger cars. We
believe the AutoVue system not only has the capacity to provide improved
safety and additional convenience features, but may also significantly reduce
the cost to vehicle manufacturers who otherwise might purchase multiple
sensors from different suppliers. AutoVue is sold directly by us to vehicle
manufacturers. We have a direct sales force of three product managers. We
intend to expand our sales force in the future to include engineers and
product managers who will be responsible for sales and customer service to
specific vehicle manufacturers. Since our target customer base is well known,
we do not engage in large scale marketing campaigns.

   Our marketing strategy for Vantage is to focus customers on the competitive
advantages of Vantage, which we believe to be price, performance and ease of
use. Vantage systems are primarily marketed and sold through independent
dealers. To enhance our market presence, we exhibit at a variety of national
and regional trade shows and encourage our dealers to conduct technical
seminars on our products. We currently have 25 dealers in the United States,
two in Canada and three in Asia. In addition, we intend to increase our
existing sales force of five regional and district sales managers.

   Our independent dealers are primarily responsible for sales, installation
and support of Vantage systems. Our dealers maintain an inventory of
demonstration traffic products including the Vantage vehicle detection systems
and sell directly to government agencies and installation contractors. Our
dealers often have long-term arrangements with the government agencies in
their territory for the supply of various products for the construction and
renovation of traffic intersections. We hold technical training classes for
our dealers and maintain a full time staff of customer support technicians to
provide technical assistance when needed.

 Transportation Management and Traveler Information Systems

   We market and sell our transportation management and traveler information
systems and services directly to government agencies pursuant to negotiated
contracts which involve competitive bidding and specific qualification
requirements. To enhance our presence in this market we actively participate
in various professional organizations, such as ITS America and the Institute
of Transportation Engineers, conduct presentations on issues involving
transportation management and ITS and attend trade shows. We also advertise in
professional trade magazines and participate in ITS conferences, workshops and
symposiums. We currently have eight offices throughout the United States and
plan to open three to five additional offices over the next 24 months.

   We are one of only two companies awarded a contract to develop and maintain
the National ITS Architecture. We believe our involvement in the National ITS
Architecture provides us with unique vision and insight into emerging market
trends and product opportunities and a significant competitive market
advantage. Through the training programs we conduct on the National ITS
Architecture, we have developed strong relationships and credibility with
national, regional, state and local transportation agencies responsible for
managing funds allocated for intelligent transportation systems.

   We are currently expanding our marketing efforts to enter the rural ITS
market, where we have already been awarded several contracts. In addition, we
are broadening the application of our transportation management and traveler
information systems and services to apply to transit priority projects and
personalized traveler information.

   Our traffic engineering and transportation planning services staff works
closely with over 100 local, regional, and state agencies. Their efforts help
identify and define projects where ITS technologies could be an effective
solution and help us establish relationships with those agencies who desire
our system design, software development, and system integration services.

Competition

 Sensor Systems

   The market for vehicle sensor systems is intensely competitive. Vehicle
manufacturers comprise our target market for the AutoVue system. These
companies generally purchase products from first time suppliers only to lower
costs or access technology that is not otherwise available from their existing
suppliers. While we believe that AutoVue is the only commercially-available
lane departure warning system, potential competitors, including Delphi
Automotive Systems Corporation domestically, NEC Corporation and Hitachi Ltd.
in Japan and Robert Bosch Gmbh in Europe are currently developing video sensor
technology for the vehicle industry that could be used for lane departure
warning systems.

   In the market for our Vantage vehicle detection systems, we compete with
both manufacturers of "above ground" video camera detection systems, such as
Econolite Control Products, Inc., Image Sensing Systems, Inc. and the Peek
Traffic Systems division of Thermo Electron Corporation, and other non-
intrusive detection devices including microwave, infrared, ultrasonic and
magnetic detectors, as well as manufacturers and installers of in-pavement
inductive loop products. We believe that we are a market leader in many key
competitive categories including price, ease of use, and detection accuracy in
a broad range of intersection architecture geometries and varying weather and
lighting conditions. However, we must continue to develop and expand upon
existing Vantage technologies, as more end user agencies are requiring
additional video detection functions.

 Transportation Management and Traveler Information Systems

   The transportation management and traveler information systems market is
highly fragmented and characterized by rapidly changing technology and evolving
national and regional quality and safety standards. Our competitors vary in
number, scope and breadth of the products and services they offer. Our
competitors in advanced transportation management and traveler information
systems include corporations like TRW, Inc., Transcore, Lockheed Martin
Corporation, PB Farradyne Inc., Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. and National
Engineering Technology, Inc. Our competitors in transportation engineering,
planning and design include major firms like Parsons Brinkerhoff, Inc. and
Parsons Transportation Group Inc., as well as many regional engineering firms.
We believe that the principal competitive factors for securing contracts are
the experience of key individuals and their relationships with government
agencies, project management experience, name recognition and the ability to
develop software and to integrate systems. We expect the competition in the
transportation management and traveler information systems market to increase
as additional competitors gain experience and expertise.

   Many of our current and prospective competitors have longer operating
histories, greater name recognition, access to larger customer bases and
significantly greater financial, technical, manufacturing, distribution and
marketing resources than we do. As a result, they may be able to adapt more
quickly to new or emerging standards or technologies or to devote greater
resources to the promotion and sale of their products than we do. Accordingly,
it is possible that new competitors or alliances among competitors could emerge
and rapidly acquire a significant market share. Our failure to provide services
and develop and market products that compete successfully with those of other
suppliers and consultants in the market would have a material adverse effect on
our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Production

   We design, assemble and test the components of our Vantage systems. Our
facility consists of approximately 5,000 square feet of space located in
Anaheim, California. Production equipment consists of assembly lines and test
apparatus for final assembly and testing of the manufactured product.
Production volume is based upon quarterly forecasts that we readjust on a
monthly basis to control inventory. We subcontract the manufacture of AutoVue
systems to two manufacturers. We expect these manufacturers to produce unit
volume sufficient to support sales to heavy truck manufacturers. We intend to
engage additional

                                       46
<PAGE>

manufacturers with expertise in high volume production to produce higher
volumes for light and medium trucks and passenger cars. We do not produce any
of the hardware used in the transportation management and traveler information
systems that we design and implement. Our production facility is ISO 9001
certified.

Associates

   We refer to our employees as associates. As of December 31, 1999, we had 148
associates, including 101 in engineering, 15 in sales and marketing, 9 in
production and 23 in other business and administrative services. Our associates
are not subject to any collective bargaining agreements, and we generally have
good relations with them.

Facilities

   As of December 31, 1999, we leased eight facilities, all located within the
United States. Our principal executive and corporate offices are located in
Anaheim, California. We also have offices for our support staff and development
teams in Madison Heights, Michigan, Sterling, Virginia, Long Beach, California,
Las Vegas, Nevada, Los Angeles, California, San Bruno, California and Boise,
Idaho. We believe that our facilities are adequate for our current operations
and that additional leased space can be obtained if needed.

Legal Proceedings

   There are no legal proceedings pending to which we are a party and our
management is unaware of any contemplated legal actions against us.

                           ARRANGEMENTS WITH ODETICS

   Odetics has been responsible for providing us with financial, management,
administrative and other resources. Odetics also maintains substantial control
over our operations and provides us with significant management functions and
services, including treasury, accounting, tax, internal audit, legal, human
resources, marketing and other support services. As a result of these services
we incurred charges allocated by Odetics of $1.1 million for the nine month
period ended December 31, 1999, $105,000 in fiscal 1997, $458,000 in fiscal
1998 and $881,000 in fiscal 1999. The costs of these services have been
directly charged and/or allocated using methods that we believe are reasonable.
Odetics has historically allocated these corporate costs, which are applicable
and common to all of its businesses. Allocation of these costs has been based
upon a formula that takes into account payroll, revenues and assets of each
individual business. However, these charges are not necessarily indicative of
the costs we would have incurred to obtain these services from an independent
entity.

   For the purpose of governing certain of the relationships between us and
Odetics relating to the spin-off, to provide for an orderly transition and for
other matters, we have entered or intend to enter into the agreements described
below with Odetics. The following summaries of the material terms of these
agreements are qualified by reference to the complete agreements that have been
filed as exhibits to the registration statement filed in connection with our
initial public offering.

   These agreements were negotiated in the context of a parent-subsidiary
relationship and therefore are not the result of negotiations between
independent parties. It is our intention that these agreements should
accommodate the parties' interests in a manner that is fair to both parties,
while continuing certain mutually beneficial joint arrangements. The parties
intend that these agreements provide fair market value to them on terms no less
favorable to either party as would otherwise be available from unaffiliated
parties.

   Additional or modified arrangements and transactions may be entered into by
us with Odetics after this offering. Any of these future arrangements and
transactions will be determined through negotiation with Odetics. We have
adopted a policy that all future agreements between the parties be on terms
that we believe are no less favorable to us than we believe would be available
from unaffiliated parties. Any future agreements will also require the approval
of a majority of our directors who are not officers, directors or significant
stockholders of Odetics.

Separation and Distribution Agreement; Technology License Agreement

   We have entered into a Separation and Distribution Agreement with Odetics
that will provide for the principle corporate transactions required to effect
the separation of our business from those of Odetics, the spin-off and certain
other matters governing the relationship between us and Odetics after the spin-
off.

   To separate our business from other businesses of Odetics, Odetics has
transferred to us those assets used in our business that were held by Odetics
without representation or warranty on an "as is" basis. We have assumed all
liabilities associated with our business, including those arising from the
operation of our business both before and after the spin-off. Part of the
assets transferred to us by Odetics included all intellectual property,
including patents and pending patent applications, related to our business. We
will license back to Odetics, on a nonexclusive, royalty free basis, a portion
of such intellectual property, which will not include any of the patents.

   We will release Odetics from all other obligations and liabilities owed to
us existing on the date of the spin-off, other than liabilities and obligations
arising under the Separation and Distribution Agreement and the other
agreements entered into in connection with the spin-off. Likewise, each of
Odetics and Iteris will indemnify the other for liabilities arising from a
breach of these agreements or the failure to pay or discharge the liabilities
assumed by such party under the Separation and Distribution Agreement.

   The Separation and Distribution Agreement also provides that each party will
take all reasonable steps necessary and appropriate to cause all conditions to
the distribution to be satisfied and to effect the distribution.

                                       48
<PAGE>


The directors of Odetics have set the record date for the distribution as the
date on which the registration statement for our initial public offering is
declared effective by the SEC, which we expect to be on or about March 16,
2000, and the date on which shares will be distributed as the first business
day after the record date. Odetics has agreed to consummate the distribution as
promptly as practicable after the satisfaction or waiver by its board of
directors, in its sole discretion, of the following conditions:

  .  effectiveness of the registration statement filed in connection with our
     initial public offering;

  .  any material governmental approvals and consents necessary or required
     under material contracts to consummate the distribution shall have been
     obtained and be in full force and effect;

  .  no order, injunction or decree issued by any court or agency of
     competent jurisdiction or other legal restraint or prohibition
     preventing the consummation of the distribution shall be in effect, and
     no other event outside the control of Odetics shall have occurred or
     failed to occur that prevents the consummation of the distribution; and

  .  no other events or developments shall have occurred that, in the
     judgment of the Board of Directors of Odetics, would result in the
     distribution having a material adverse effect on Odetics or on its
     stockholders.

   The Separation and Distribution Agreement also provides that all shares of
common stock of our company distributed to Odetics stockholders shall be marked
with a legend restricting the public transfer of the shares for a period of 180
days after the date of our prospectus delivered in connection with our initial
public offering and that stop transfer instructions will be placed with the
transfer agent for these shares.

   The Separation and Distribution Agreement requires that we complete a public
offering of our common stock immediately following the spin-off. It also
requires that we use proceeds of such offering to repay $10.0 million of debt
payable to Odetics.

   We are currently an additional named insured under various Odetics insurance
policies. Under the Separation and Distribution Agreement, we will be entitled
to the benefit of pre-spin-off historical coverage under Odetic's property,
liability and certain other insurance policies to the extent coverage is
applicable or potentially available and where limits of liability have not been
exhausted, either on a per occurrence or aggregate basis. The terms and
conditions of these policies, including limits of liability, will not be
amended as a consequence of the spin-off. Going forward, we will be responsible
for maintaining separate policies of insurance, which we will obtain prior to
our initial public offering.

Services Agreement

   We will enter into a Services Agreement with Odetics upon consummation of
the spin-off, pursuant to which Odetics will continue to provide limited
services to us, including treasury, accounting, tax, internal audit, legal and
human resources functions. Under the Services Agreement, Odetics will also
provide us with the facilities at which our principal executive and corporate
offices are located. The cost of services under the Service Agreement is
expected to be consistent with costs allocated to us by Odetics during prior
periods. The actual expenditures will depend on numerous factors, some of which
are beyond our control.

Tax Allocation Agreement

   We will enter into a Tax Allocation Agreement with Odetics upon the
consummation of the spin-off, pursuant to which tax liability for any given
taxable period prior to the spin-off will be apportioned among the members of
the Odetics consolidated group that generated taxable income for that period.
The tax liability will be allocated according to each member's share of taxable
income of the consolidated group. No tax liability will be allocated to us if
we generate a taxable loss during such period and we will not receive any
benefit from the use of any such loss by other members of the Odetics
consolidated group. We will be responsible for all of our tax liabilities after
the spin-off.

                                       49
<PAGE>

   The Tax Allocation Agreement provides that we will indemnify Odetics for any
taxes imposed on, or other amounts paid by Odetics, its agents and
representatives or its stockholders, if we take actions or fail to take
actions, that result in the spin-off not qualifying as a tax-free distribution.
For example, pursuant to the Tax Allocation Agreement, we will agree that for a
two-year period following the date of the spin-off: (i) we will continue to
engage in the Iteris business; (ii) we will continue to own and manage at least
50% of the assets which we own directly or indirectly immediately after the
spin-off; and (iii) we will not, unless we obtain the written consent of
Odetics, engage in a number of specified transactions such as certain
redemptions and other acquisitions of capital stock or equity securities of
Iteris or the merger, dissolution or liquidation of Iteris.

   If our obligations under the Tax Allocation Agreement were breached and the
spin-off were to fail to continue to qualify as tax-free for U.S. federal
income tax purposes as a result of such breach, we would be required to satisfy
the indemnification obligations described above. This indemnification
obligation could exceed our net worth at that time.

   Though valid between the parties thereto, the Tax Allocation Agreement is
not binding on the IRS and does not affect the several liability of Odetics,
Iteris and their respective subsidiaries to the IRS for all U.S. federal taxes
of the consolidated group relating to periods prior to the spin-off.

1998 Stock Incentive Plan

   Our 1998 Stock Incentive Plan was adopted by our board of directors on April
13, 1998 and was approved by our stockholders on April 14, 1998. Our 1998 Stock
Incentive Plan provides for awards or sales of shares, incentive stock options
and nonstatutory stock options. We have authorized a total of 3,000,000 shares
of common stock for issuance under our 1998 Stock Incentive Plan.

                                       55
<PAGE>

   Our 1998 Stock Incentive Plan consists of:

  .   Discretionary Option Grant program under which eligible individuals in
     our employ or service, including officers, non-employee board members
     and consultants and independent advisors, may be granted options to
     purchase shares of common stock at an exercise price not less than 85%
     of their fair market value on the grant date;

  .  the Stock Issuance Program under which such individuals may be issued
     shares of common stock directly, through the purchase of such shares at
     a price not less than 85% of their fair market value at the time of
     issuance or as a bonus tied to the performance of services; and

  .  the Automatic Option Grant Program under which option grants will
     automatically be made at periodic intervals to eligible non-employee
     members of our board of directors to purchase shares of common stock at
     an exercise price per share equal to 100% of their fair market value on
     the option grant date.

   The Discretionary Option Grant and Stock Issuance Programs will be
administered by our board of directors prior to the effectiveness of our
registration statement under Section 12(g) of the 1934 Act and will be
administered by the compensation committee after that time. The compensation
committee or the plan administrator will have complete discretion to administer
the 1998 Stock Option Plan. The Automatic Option Grant Program will be self-
executing in accordance with the terms of that program, and neither the
compensation committee nor the board of directors will exercise any
administrative discretion with respect to option grants under that program.

   In the event that we are acquired by merger or a sale of substantially all
of our assets, each outstanding option under the Discretionary Option Grant
Program which is not to be assumed by the successor corporation or replaced
with a cash incentive program of the successor corporation which preserves the
spread existing at the time of the transaction for any shares which the option
is not otherwise at that time exercisable will automatically accelerate in
full, and all unvested shares under the Discretionary Option Grant and Stock
Issuance Programs will immediately vest, except to the extent our repurchase
rights with respect to those shares are assigned to the successor corporation.
The plan administrator will have complete discretion to grant one or more
options under the Discretionary Option Grant Program which will become
exercisable on an accelerated basis for all or part of the option shares if we
are acquired, whether or not those options are assumed, or if an optionee is
terminated within a designated period following an acquisition in which those
options are assumed. The vesting of outstanding shares under the Stock Issuance
Program may be accelerated upon similar terms and conditions.

   We have authorized stock appreciation rights under the Discretionary Option
Grant Program which provide the optionholders with the election to surrender
their outstanding options for an appreciation distribution from us equal to the
excess of the fair market value of the vested shares of common stock subject to
the surrendered option over the aggregate exercise price payable for such
shares. Such appreciation distribution may be made in cash or in shares of
common stock.

   The plan administrator will have the authority to effect the cancellation of
outstanding options under the Discretionary Option Grant Program in return for
the grant of new options for the same or different number of option shares with
an exercise price per share based upon the fair market value of the common
stock on the new grant date.

   Under the Automatic Option Grant Program, as amended each individual who
first becomes a non-employee member of our board of directors at any time
thereafter receives a 20,000 share option grant on the date such individual
joins the board of directors, provided such individual has not been employed by
us or any parent or subsidiary corporation. On the date of each annual
stockholders meeting, beginning with the annual meeting held in the calendar
year immediately following the effective date of this offering, each non-
employee member of our board of directors who is to continue to serve as non-
employee board member will

                                       56
<PAGE>

automatically be granted an option to purchase 10,000 shares of common stock,
provided such individual has served on our board of directors for at least six
months. The shares subject to each automatic grant will immediately vest in
full upon certain changes in control or ownership of us or upon the optionee's
death or disability while a member of our board of directors.

   The board of directors may amend or modify the 1998 Stock Incentive Plan at
any time, subject to any required shareholder approval. The 1998 Stock
Incentive Plan will terminate on the earliest of April 13, 2008, the date on
which all shares available for issuance under the 1998 Stock Incentive Plan
have been issued as fully-vested shares or the termination of all outstanding
options in connection with certain changes in control or ownership of us.

Option Issued Outside of the 1998 Stock Incentive Plan

   Prior to the adoption of our 1998 Stock Incentive Plan, we issued
nonqualified options to purchase 899,960 shares of our common stock to selected
employees, including executive officers. The purchase price under these
nonqualified option agreements is equal to the fair market value of our shares
of common stock at the time of grant.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

   In December 1999, our board of directors adopted our Employee Stock Purchase
Plan, to be effective upon completion of our initial public offering. A total
of 1,500,000 shares of common stock have been reserved for issuance under our
Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Our Employee Stock Purchase Plan, which is
intended to qualify under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended, will be administered by the board of directors or by a committee
appointed by the board. Employees are eligible to participate if they are
customarily employed for at least 20 hours per week and for more than five
months in any calendar year. Employees who own more than 5% of our outstanding
stock may not participate. Our Employee Stock Purchase Plan permits eligible
employees to purchase common stock through payroll deductions which may not
exceed the lesser of 15% of any employee's compensation, or $25,000.

   Our Employee Stock Purchase Plan will be implemented by six month offering
periods with purchases occurring at six month intervals commencing on the date
of this prospectus.

   The purchase price of the common stock under our Employee Stock Purchase
plan will be equal to 85% of the fair market value per share of common stock on
either the start date of the offering period or on the purchase date, whichever
is less. Employees may end their participation in an offering period at any
time during that period, and participation ends automatically on termination of
employment with us. In the event of a proposed dissolution or liquidation of
our company, the offering periods terminate immediately prior to the
consummation of the proposed action, unless otherwise provided by our board of
directors. If there is a proposed sale of all or substantially all of our
assets or the merger of our company with or into another company, then the
offering period in progress will be shortened and a new exercise date will be
set that is before the sale or merger. Our Employee Stock Purchase Plan will
terminate in 2009, unless sooner terminated by the board of directors.

Section 401(k) Plan

   We intend to adopt a 401(k) Plan covering our full-time employees following
our initial public offering. Our 401(k) Plan is intended to qualify under
Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, so that
contributions to the 401(k) Plan by employees or by us, and the investment
earnings thereon, are not taxable to employees until withdrawn from the 401(k)
Plan, and so that we can deduct any contributions that we make, at the time
they are made. Pursuant to the 401(k) Plan, employees may elect to reduce their
current compensation by up to the statutorily prescribed annual limit and to
have the amount of such reduction contributed to the 401(k) Plan. The 401(k)
Plan permits us, but does not require us to make, additional matching
contributions to the 401(k) Plan on behalf of all participants in the 401(k)
Plan.

                             PRINCIPAL STOCKHOLDERS

   The following table sets forth specified information with respect to the
beneficial ownership of our common stock as of December 31, 1999:

  .  each person, or group of affiliated persons, who is known by us to
     beneficially own 5% or more of the common stock;

  .  each of our directors;

  .  each of our named executive officers; and

  .  all of our directors and executive officers as a group.

   Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the
Securities and Exchange Commission and includes voting and investment power
with respect to shares. Unless otherwise indicated, the persons named in the
table have sole voting and sole investment control with respect to all shares
beneficially owned. The number and percentage of shares beneficially owned are
based on 12,493,051 shares of common stock outstanding as of December 31, 1999.
The number and percentage of shares beneficially owned also assumes that:

  .  shares of common stock subject to options that are currently exercisable
     or exercisable within 60 days of December 31, 1999 are deemed to be
     outstanding and beneficially owned;

  .  the spin-off from Odetics has been consummated;

  .  433,405 shares of common stock have been issued to DaimlerChrysler
     Venture GmbH upon the conversion of the promissory note issued to
     DaimlerChrysler Venture on January 25, 2000, assuming no adjustment to
     the number of shares issued upon conversion; and

  .  executive officers, directors and selling stockholders who hold options
     to purchase Odetics common stock have fully exercised their options.

                              CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS

   Odetics has provided us with significant management functions and services,
including treasury, accounting, tax, internal audit, legal, human resources,
sales and marketing and other support services. As a result of these services,
we incurred charges allocated by Odetics of $105,000 in fiscal 1997, $458,000
in fiscal 1998 and $881,000 in fiscal 1999 and $1.1 million for the nine months
ended December 31, 1999. We directly charged and/or allocated the costs of
these services using methods that we believe are reasonable, but these charges
are not necessarily indicative of the costs we would have incurred to obtain
these services from an independent agency. We will enter into the following
agreements with Odetics in connection with the spin-off: separation and
distribution agreement, services agreement, tax allocation agreement,
technology license agreement and promissory note. See "Arrangements with
Odetics."

   We have agreed to take all reasonable steps necessary and appropriate to
satisfy the conditions to and effect the spin-off of our shares by Odetics. As
a result of the spin-off and assuming all Odetics stock options held by the
following persons are exercised, Mr. Johnson will receive 65,886 shares, Mr.
Miner will receive 150,621 shares, Mr. Mohaddes will receive 30,919 shares, Mr.
Rowe will receive 11,346 shares, Mr. Sinnar will receive 11,740 shares, Mr.
Slutzky will receive 1,107,580 shares and Mr. Wright will receive 61,765 shares
of our common stock.

                  RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES

   The following is a summary of transactions by us from November 30, 1996
through the date hereof involving sales of our securities that were not
registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

   On October 16, 1998, we issued 856,836 shares of our common stock in
connection with our acquisition of Meyer, Mohaddes Associates, Inc. In July
1999, 46,685 of these shares were cancelled due to a purchase price adjustment.
The sales of the securities listed above were deemed to be exempt from
registration under the Securities Act in reliance on Section 4(2) of the
Securities Act, or Regulation D promulgated thereunder.

   Since December 31, 1997, we have granted options to purchase an aggregate of
2,631,444 shares of common stock to employees and directors. The issuance of
these options was deemed to be exempt from registration under the Securities
Act in reliance on Rule 701 promulgated under Section 3(b) of the Securities
Act as transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering transaction
pursuant to compensatory benefit plans and contracts relating to compensation.

                                       59
<PAGE>

   On January 25, 2000 we entered into a subordinated convertible note purchase
agreement with DaimlerChrysler Venture GmbH, pursuant to which DaimlerChrysler
purchased a promissory note in the principal amount of $3,750,000. The
promissory note will automatically convert into shares of our common stock
immediately prior to the closing of our initial public offering. The issuance
of the promissory note and the shares of common stock upon conversion are
exempt from registration under the Securities Act in reliance upon Regulation S
promulgated thereunder.

   We did not employ any underwriters, brokers or finders in connection with
these transactions.

   The recipients of securities in each such transaction represented their
intentions to acquire the securities for investment only and not with a view to
or for sale in connection with any distribution thereof and appropriate legends
were affixed to the instruments representing the securities issued in such
transactions. All recipients had adequate access, through their relationships
with us, to information about us.

   The following is a summary of certain provisions of our common stock,

   As of December 31, 1999, there were 12,059,646 shares of common stock
outstanding, held by five stockholders of record. In addition, upon completion
of our initial public offering, 433,405 shares will be issued upon conversion
of the DaimlerChrysler Venture promissory note. All outstanding shares of our
common stock are, and the common stock to be issued in our initial public
offering will be, fully paid and nonassessable.

   The following summarizes the rights of holders of our common stock:

  .  each holder of shares of common stock is entitled to one vote per share
     on all matters to be voted on by stockholders generally, including the
     election of directors;

  .there are no cumulative voting rights;

  .  the holders of our common stock are entitled to dividends and other
     distributions as may be declared from time to time by the board of
     directors out of funds legally available for that purpose, if any;

  .  upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the holders of shares
     of common stock will be entitled to share ratably in the distribution of
     all of our assets remaining available for distribution after
     satisfaction of all our liabilities and the payment of the liquidation
     preference of any outstanding preferred stock;

  .  the holders of common stock have no preemptive or other subscription
     rights to purchase shares of our stock, nor are they entitled to the
     benefits of any redemption or sinking fund provisions; and

  .  shares of our common stock that will be distributed by Odetics in the
     spin-off will not be publicly transferable until 180 days following the
     date of the prospectus delivered in connection with our initial public
     offering.

Preferred Stock

   There are no shares of preferred stock outstanding. Our certificate of
incorporation authorizes our board of directors to create and issue one or more
series of preferred stock and determine the rights and preferences of each
series within the limits set forth in our certificate of incorporation and
applicable law. Among other rights, the board of directors may determine,
without further vote or action by our stockholders:

  .  the number of shares constituting the series and the distinctive
     designation of the series;

  .  the dividend rate on the shares of the series, whether dividends will be
     cumulative, and if so, from which date or dates, and the relative rights
     of priority, if any, of payment of dividends on shares of the series;

  .  whether the series will have voting rights in addition to the voting
     rights provided by law and, if so, the terms of the voting rights;

  .  whether the series will have conversion privileges and, if so, the terms
     and conditions of conversion;

  .  whether or not the shares of the series will be redeemable or
     exchangeable, and, if so, the dates, terms and conditions of redemption
     or exchange, as the case may be;

  .  whether the series will have a sinking fund for the redemption or
     purchase of shares of that series, and, if so, the terms and amount of
     the sinking fund; and

  .  the rights of the shares of the series in the event of our voluntary or
     involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up and the relative
     rights or priority, if any, of payment of shares of the series.

                                       61
<PAGE>

   Unless otherwise provided by our board of directors, the shares of all
series of preferred stock will rank on a parity with respect to the payment of
dividends and to the distribution of assets upon liquidation. Although we have
no present plans to issue any shares of preferred stock, any future issuance of
shares of preferred stock, or the issuance of rights to purchase preferred
shares, may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change of
control in our company or an unsolicited acquisition proposal. The issuance of
preferred stock also could decrease the amount of earnings and assets available
for distribution to the holders of common stock or could adversely affect the
rights and powers, including voting rights, of the holders of the common stock.

Registration Rights

   After our initial public offering, the holders of 683,769 shares of our
common stock have the right to cause us to register their shares under the
Securities Act anytime we file a registration statement to register any of our
securities for our own account. Such registration opportunities are unlimited
but the number of shares that can be registered may be eliminated entirely or
cut back in certain situations by the underwriters of such offering.

   After April 25, 2001, DaimlerChrysler Venture or any transferee of the
shares of common stock issued to DaimlerChrysler Venture upon the conversion of
the promissory note issued to DaimlerChrysler Venture on January 25, 2000, has
the right to cause us to register its shares under the Securities Act of 1933
any time we file a registration statement to register any of our securities for
our own account. In addition, after April 25, 2001, and after we have qualified
for registration on Form S-3, DaimlerChrysler Venture or any transferee of the
DaimlerChrysler Venture shares may request that we register its shares under
the Securities Act of 1933 if the aggregate offering price is more than $2.0
million. We are not obligated to register such shares on Form S-3 more than
twice during any 12 month period.

Anti-Takeover Effects of Provisions of Delaware Law and Our Certificate of
Incorporation and Bylaws

   We are subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General
Corporation Law. Subject to certain exceptions, Section 203 prohibits a
publicly-held Delaware corporation from engaging in a "business combination"
with an "interested stockholder" for a period of three years after the date of
the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder, unless
the interested stockholder attained such status with the approval of the board
of directors or the business combination is approved in a prescribed manner. A
"business combination" includes mergers, asset sales and other transactions
resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. Subject to
certain exceptions, an "interested stockholder" is a person who, together with
affiliates and associates, owns, or within three years did own, fifteen percent
or more of a corporation's voting stock. This statute could prohibit or delay
the accomplishment of mergers or other takeover or change in control attempts
relating to our company and, accordingly, may discourage attempts to acquire
us.

   In addition, some provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws
may be deemed to have an anti-takeover effect and may delay, defer or prevent a
tender offer or takeover attempt that a stockholder might consider in its best
interest, including those attempts that might result in a premium over the
market price for the shares held by our stockholders. These provisions include:

  .  Board of Directors. Our board of directors is divided into three classes
     of directors serving staggered terms. Our certificate of incorporation
     authorizes our board of directors to fill vacant directorships or
     increase the size of the board of directors. Accordingly, even if a
     stockholder succeeds in a proxy contest, he would likely only be able to
     elect a minority of our board of directors at any one annual meeting.

  .  Stockholder Action; Special Meeting of Stockholders. Our certificate of
     incorporation provides that stockholders may not take action by written
     consent, but only at a duly called annual or special meeting of
     stockholders. Our certificate of incorporation further provides that
     special meetings of our stockholders may be called only by the Chairman
     of the Board of directors, by a committee of the board of directors or a
     majority of the board of directors, and in no event may the stockholders
     call a special meeting. Thus, without approval by the board of directors
     or Chairman, stockholders may take no action between annual meetings.

                                       62
<PAGE>

  .  Advance Notice Requirements for Stockholder Proposals and Director
     Nominations. The bylaws provide that stockholders seeking to bring
     business before an annual meeting of stockholders, or to nominate
     candidates for election as directors at an annual meeting of
     stockholders, must provide timely notice of this intention in writing.
     To be timely, a stockholder's notice must be delivered to or mailed and
     received at our principal executive offices not less than 120 days prior
     to the first anniversary of the date of our notice of annual meeting
     provided with respect to the previous year's annual meeting of
     stockholders. However, if no annual meeting of stockholders was held in
     the previous year or the date of the annual meeting of stockholders has
     been changed to be more than 30 calendar days from the time contemplated
     at the time of the previous year's proxy statement, then a proposal
     shall be received no later than the close of business on the tenth day
     following the date on which notice of the date of the meeting was mailed
     or a public announcement was made, whichever first occurs. The bylaws
     also include a similar requirement for making nominations at special
     meetings and specify requirements as to the form and content of a
     stockholder's notice. These provisions may preclude stockholders from
     bringing matters before an annual meeting of stockholders or from making
     nominations for directors at an annual or special meeting of
     stockholders.

  .  Authorized but Unissued Shares. The authorized but unissued shares of
     our common stock and preferred stock are available for future issuance
     without stockholder approval, subject to certain limitations imposed by
     the Nasdaq National Market. These additional shares may be utilized for
     a variety of corporate purposes, including future public offerings to
     raise additional capital, corporate acquisitions and employee benefit
     plans. The existence of authorized but unissued and unreserved common
     stock and preferred stock could render more difficult or discourage an
     attempt to obtain control of our company by means of a proxy contest,
     tender offer, merger or otherwise.

   Delaware law provides generally that the affirmative vote of a majority of
the shares entitled to vote on any matter is required to amend a corporation's
certificate of incorporation or bylaws, unless a corporation's certificate of
incorporation or bylaws, as the case may be, requires a greater percentage. We
have provisions in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws which require a
vote of 66 2/3% of the holders of the outstanding common stock to amend, revise
or repeal anti-takeover provisions.

Dividend Policy

   We have never paid cash dividends on our common stock. We currently
anticipate that we will retain earnings, if any, to support operations and to
finance the growth and development of our business and do not anticipate paying
cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Declaration or payment of future
dividends, if any, will be at the discretion of our board of directors after
taking into account various factors, including our financial condition,
operating results, current and anticipated cash needs and plans for expansion.

Limitations of Liability and Indemnification Matters

   Our certificate of incorporation provides that, except to the extent
permitted by Delaware law, our directors shall not be personally liable to us
or our stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty as a
director. Under Delaware law, the directors have a fiduciary duty to us that is
not eliminated by this provision of our certificate and, in appropriate
circumstances, equitable remedies such as injunctive or other forms of
nonmonetary relief will remain available. In addition, each director will
continue to be subject to liability under Delaware law for breach of the
director's duty of loyalty to us for acts or omissions which are found by a
court of competent jurisdiction to be not in good faith or that involve
intentional misconduct, or knowing violations of law, for actions leading to
improper personal benefit to the director, and for payment of dividends or
approval of stock repurchases or redemptions that are prohibited by Delaware
law. This provision also does not affect the director's responsibilities under
any other laws, such as the federal securities laws.

                                       63
<PAGE>

   Section 145 of the Delaware corporate law empowers a corporation to
indemnify its directors and officers and to purchase insurance with respect to
liability arising out of their capacity or status as directors and officers,
provided that this provision shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a
director:

  .  for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or
     its stockholders;

  .  for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional
     misconduct or a knowing violation of law;

  .  arising under Section 174 of the Delaware corporate law; or

  .  for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal
     benefit.

   Delaware law provides further that the indemnification permitted by that law
shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which the directors and
officers may be entitled under a corporation's bylaws, any agreement, a vote of
stockholders or otherwise. Our certificate of incorporation eliminates the
personal liability of directors to the fullest extent permitted by Section
102(b)(7) of the Delaware corporate law and provides that we may fully
indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party
to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether
civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that
such person is or was our director or officer or is or was serving at our
request as an employee, director or officer of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise,
against expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or
proceeding.

   We have entered into agreements to indemnify our directors and officers, in
addition to the indemnification provided for in the bylaws. We believe that
these provisions and agreements are necessary to attract and retain qualified
directors and officers. Our bylaws also permit us to secure insurance on behalf
of any officer, director, employee or other agent for any liability arising out
of his or her actions, regardless of whether Delaware law would permit
indemnification.

Distribution and Transfer Agent

   The distribution and transfer agent for our common stock will be EquiServe,
LLP.

                        SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

   Prior to our initial public offering there has been no public market for our
common stock. No predictions can be made regarding the effect, if any, that
sales of shares or the availability of shares for sale will have on the market
price prevailing from time to time. As described below, only a limited number
of shares will be available for sale shortly after this offering due to certain
contractual and legal restrictions on resale. Sales of substantial amounts of
our common stock in the public market after the restrictions lapse could
adversely affect the prevailing market price.

   Upon completion of our initial public offering, we will have 16,666,667
shares of common stock outstanding based on 12,059,646 shares outstanding at
December 31, 1999 and 433,405 shares to be issued upon conversion of the
DaimlerChrysler promissory note. The 4,300,000 shares of common stock being
sold in our initial public offering will be freely tradable, other than by our
"affiliates" as such term is defined in the Securities Act, without restriction
or registration under the Securities Act. The remaining 12,366,667 shares
includes 1,117,174 shares issued and sold by us in private transactions and
11,249,493 shares to be distributed by Odetics to its stockholders in the spin-
off. The shares sold in private transactions are restricted shares and are
eligible for public sale if registered under the Securities Act or sold in
accordance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act. The shares distributed in
the spin-off will be freely tradable, other than by persons deemed to be our
affiliates, 180 days after the date of the prospectus delivered in connection
with our initial public offering.

   In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, beginning 90 days after
the date of the prospectus filed in connection with our initial public
offering, a person deemed to be our affiliate, or a person holding restricted

                                       64
<PAGE>

shares who beneficially owns shares that were not acquired from us or our
affiliates within the previous year, would be entitled to sell within any three
month period a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of:

  .  1% of the then outstanding shares of common stock, or

  .  the average weekly trading volume of the common stock during the four
     calendar weeks preceding the date on which notice of the sale is filed
     with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

   Sales under Rule 144 are subject to requirements relating to manner of sale,
notice and availability of current public information about us. However, if a
person, or persons whose shares are aggregated, is not deemed to have been our
affiliate at any time during the 90 days immediately preceding the sale, he or
she may sell his or her restricted shares under Rule 144(k) without regard to
the limitations described above if at least two years have elapsed since the
later of the date the shares were acquired from us or from our affiliates. The
foregoing is a summary of Rule 144 and is not intended to be a complete
description of it.

   In connection with our initial public offering, all current stockholders and
substantially all of our option holders will be subject to lock-up agreements
with the underwriters under which the holders of the shares and options to
purchase shares have agreed they will not sell any common stock owned by them
without the prior written consent of Bear, Stearns & Co. Inc. for a period of
180 days from the date of the prospectus delivered in connection with our
initial public offering.

   The following table indicates approximately when the shares of our common
stock that are not being sold in our initial public offering, but which will be
outstanding after such offering is completed, will be eligible for sale into
the public market.

</TABLE>

   2,166,697 of the shares eligible for sale after the 180 day period will be
subject to volume and other restrictions pursuant to Rule 144 because the
holders are affiliates of Iteris or have held their shares for less than two
years.

   Subject to limitations on the aggregate offering price of a transaction and
other conditions, Rule 701 may be relied upon with respect to the resale of
securities originally purchased from us by our employees, directors, officers,
consultants or advisors prior to the closing of our initial public offering,
pursuant to written compensatory benefit plans or written contracts relating to
the compensation of such persons. In addition, the Securities and Exchange
Commission has indicated that Rule 701 will apply to stock options granted by
us before our initial public offering, along with the shares acquired upon
exercise of these options. Securities issued in reliance on Rule 701 are deemed
to be restricted shares and, beginning 90 days after the date of the prospectus
filed in connection with our initial public offering, unless subject to the
contractual restrictions described above, may be sold by persons other than
affiliates subject only to the manner of sale provisions of Rule 144 and by
affiliates under Rule 144 without the compliance with its one-year minimum
holding period requirements.

   We intend to file a registration statement on Form S-8 under the Securities
Act to register shares of common stock reserved for issuance under our 1998
Stock Incentive Plan and Employee Stock Purchase Plan, thus permitting the
resale by non-affiliates of shares issued under the plans in the public market
without restriction under the Securities Act. Such registration statement will
become effective immediately upon filing which is expected shortly after the
closing of our initial public offering. As of December 31, 1999 options to
purchase 2,631,444 shares of common stock were outstanding, substantially all
of which are subject to lock-up agreements described above.

                         REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

Stockholders and Board of Directors
Iteris, Inc.

   We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Iteris,
Inc., a subsidiary of Odetics, Inc., as of March 31, 1998 and 1999 and December
31, 1999, and the related consolidated statements of operations, net capital
deficiency, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
March 31, 1999 and the nine months ended December 31, 1999. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.

   We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

   In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position
of Iteris, Inc. at March 31, 1998 and 1999 and December 31, 1999, and the
consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended March 31, 1999 and the nine months ended December 31,
1999, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                               December 31, 1999

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The Company

   Iteris, Inc. (the Company), a 93% owned subsidiary of Odetics, Inc.
(Parent), designs, develops, markets and implements software based solutions
that improve the safety and efficiency of vehicle transportation. The Company
incorporates its software into sensor systems that it sells to vehicle
manufacturers in North America and Europe and to governmental agencies,
principally in the United States. It also develops transportation management
and traveler information systems for the intelligent transportation systems, or
ITS, industry; these systems are sold to local, state and national
transportation agencies in the United States.

Basis of Presentation

   The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of the Company
and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Meyer, Mohaddes Associates, Inc., a California
corporation ("MMA"). All intercompany transactions and balances 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 amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Significant estimates made in preparing the consolidated financial statements
include the allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory reserves, costs to
complete long-term contracts and income tax valuation allowances.

Revenue Recognition

   Sensor revenue and related cost of sales are recognized on the date of
shipment or, if required, upon acceptance by the customer, provided that the
Company believes collectibility of the sales amount is probable. Accordingly,
at the date revenue is recognized, the significant uncertainties concerning the
sale have been resolved.

   Systems revenue is derived primarily from long-term contracts with
governmental agencies. Systems revenue includes costs incurred plus a portion
of estimated fees or profits determined on the percentage of completion method
of accounting based on the relationship of costs incurred to total estimated
costs. Any anticipated losses on contracts are charged to earnings when
identified. Changes in job performance and estimated profitability, including
those arising from contract penalty provisions and final contract settlements
may result in revisions to cost and revenue and are recognized in the period in
which the revisions are determined. Profit incentives are included in revenue
when their realization is reasonably assured.

   Revenues from follow-on service and support, for which the Company charges
separately, are recognized when earned.

Concentration of Credit Risk

   The Company performs periodic credit evaluations of its customers' financial
condition and generally does not require collateral. Credit losses have been
within management's expectations and within amounts provided through the
allowances for doubtful accounts. At March 31, 1998 and 1999 and December 31,
1999, accounts receivable from governmental agencies and prime government
contractors were approximately $586,000, $2,996,000, and $2,880,000,
respectively.

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)


Fair Values of Financial Instruments

   The fair value of amounts payable to Parent approximates its carrying value
because interest charges thereon are based on the prevailing market rates of
interest charged to the Parent under related borrowings.

Inventory Valuation

   Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined
on the first-in, first-out method.

Equipment, Furniture and Fixtures

   Equipment, furniture and fixtures are recorded at cost and are depreciated
principally by the declining balance method over their estimated useful lives
(four to eight years).

Long-Lived Assets

   Long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles held and used by the
Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be
recoverable. If required, the recoverability test is performed at the lowest
level practicable based on undiscounted net cash flows.

Goodwill

   Goodwill, representing the excess of the purchase price over the fair value
of the net assets of acquired entities, is being amortized using the straight-
line method over the estimated useful life of 10 years.

Warranty

   The Company provides a warranty of one to two years on all products and
records a related provision for estimated warranty costs at the date of sale.
The estimated warranty liability was $698,000, $95,000 and $95,000 at March
31, 1998 and 1999 and December 31, 1999, respectively.

Income Taxes

   The Company is included in the consolidated federal income tax return of
its Parent. The Company and the Parent have entered into a tax sharing
arrangement whereby U.S. and state income taxes are computed in accordance
with consolidated return Section 1552(a)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code, as
if they were separate legal entities. Under this allocation, the consolidated
tax liability (including alternative minimum tax) for a given tax year is
allocated only to companies in the group which have separate taxable income
for that year. The tax liability is allocated pro rata based on each Company's
relative separate taxable income. Companies with losses are not allocated any
of the tax liability and are not given any benefit for their losses.

   Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences
between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities based
on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the period in which differences
are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established,
when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to amounts which are more likely
than not to be realized. The provision for income taxes consists of the taxes
payable or refundable for the period plus or minus the change during the
period in deferred income tax assets and liabilities.

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)


Stock-Based Compensation

   The Company has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.
25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB 25) and related
Interpretations in accounting for its employee stock options because the
alternative fair value accounting provided for under FASB Statement No. 123,
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, requires use of option valuation
models that were not developed for use in valuing employee stock options. Under
APB 25, if the exercise price of the Company's employee stock options equals
the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation
expense is recognized.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

   Basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed using the weighted

Research and Development Expenditures

   Research and development expenditures are charged to expense in the period
incurred. The Company does not create computer software pursuant to a pre-
established detail program design. Accordingly, computer software costs
eligible for capitalization have been historically insignificant.

Advertising Expenses

   The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expenses
totaled $16,000, $79,000, $261,000 and $266,000 in the years ended March 31,
1997, 1998 and 1999, and in the nine months ended December 31, 1999,
respectively.

Interim Financial Information

   The financial statements for the nine months ended December 31, 1998 are
unaudited and condensed, but include all adjustments (consisting of only normal
recurring adjustments) which the Company considers necessary for a fair
statement of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the
interim period.

   Results for the nine month period ended December 31, 1999 are not
necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the entire fiscal year.

(2) Transactions with Parent

   The Company and its Parent have entered into an agreement whereby the
Company is charged for certain corporate general and administrative functions
performed by the Parent. These charges are included in the caption "Charges
allocated by Parent" in the accompanying statements of operations and consist
of significant management functions and services, including treasury,
accounting, tax, internal audit, legal, human resources, marketing and other
support services. Charges are allocated to the Company based on actual amounts
incurred on behalf of the Company as well as a proportionate amount of the
Parent's general and administrative expenses determined based on a weighted
average of the Company's revenue, payroll and fixed assets as compared to the
Parent's other subsidiaries and divisions. While Company management has no
practical means to estimate the costs that would have been incurred for such
services if it was a stand-alone company, management of the Company believes
the amount of such allocations are reasonable.

   The Parent also manages domestic cash flows. Pursuant to this cash
management program the Company transfers any accumulated cash surplus to the
Parent's accounts and the Parent funds cash disbursements, as needed, to
maintain minimum account balances. The Company and its Parent have entered into
an agreement whereby the Parent charges the Company interest based on the
Company's net payable to the Parent balance calculated using the Parent's cost
of related borrowed funds (10.50% at December 31, 1999). The amounts due under
the payable are not due until after December 31, 2000, except in the case of an
initial public offering of the Company's common stock, which may accelerate the
repayment of certain amounts payable to the Parent. (Note 7)

   The net payable to Parent represents the net of the following transactions:
cash advances to and from the Parent in connection with cash management policy;
the value of equity securities issued by the Parent in connection with the
Company's acquisitions; proceeds from sales to affiliates; payments for
purchases from affiliates; and corporate charges for rent, general corporate
overhead and interest.

(3) Assumption of Contracts

   On June 20, 1997, the Company assumed certain contracts and acquired certain
assets from Rockwell Collins, Inc. (Rockwell). Revenues and costs related to
contracts assumed from Rockwell are included in the accompanying statement of
operations since the date of assumption. The total payment to Rockwell
associated with the assumption of contracts was approximately $2.2 million in
cash. In the transaction, a total of $1.3 million of assets were acquired, and
a $5.0 million provision for anticipated losses on a contract with the Michigan
Department of Transportation (MDOT), was assumed, which resulted in the
recognition of approximately $6.0 million of goodwill. Also, Rockwell agreed to
reimburse the Company for losses incurred on certain phases of the MDOT
contract. At December 31, 1999, the remaining provision for contract losses
totaled $3.3 million, which the Company expects to incur over the next two
years.

(4) Business Combinations

   On October 16, 1998 the Company acquired MMA, a provider of transportation
engineering and planning services. Pursuant to the terms of the merger
agreement, the Company purchased all of the issued and outstanding shares of
common stock of MMA for $4.3 million by issuing 810,153 shares of the Company's
common stock (after giving effect to the purchase price adjustment required by
the merger agreement) and 55,245 shares of the Parent's Class A common stock
valued at $250,000. The value of the shares issued by the Parent is repayable
to the Parent and is included in "Payable to Parent" in the accompanying
balance sheet. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase and,
accordingly, the results of operations for MMA are included in the Company's
consolidated results of operations from the date of acquisition.

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)


   The merger agreement provides for MMA shareholders to receive additional
shares of the Parent's Class A common stock with a then market value of
$250,000 at each of April 16, 1999, October 16, 1999, April 16, 2000, October
16, 2000, and April 16, 2001 if an initial public offering of the Company's
common stock does not occur by each and any of those dates. In April and
October 1999, the Parent issued an additional 25,740 and 20,986 shares of its
Class A common stock to the MMA shareholders pursuant to this provision, which
was recorded by the Company as additional goodwill and an increase in the
Payable to Parent. In addition, if the Company does not complete its initial
public offering by October 2001, then the holders of the Company's common stock
issued in this transaction will have the right to require the Parent to
repurchase the Company's common stock for a purchase price of $10 per share.

   On January 19, 1999 the Company acquired certain assets and assumed certain
liabilities of Viggen Corporation (Viggen), a provider of transportation
engineering and planning services, for an aggregate purchase price of $275,000
evidenced by the issuance of 27,603 shares of the Parent's Class A common
stock. The value of the shares issued is repayable by the Company and is
included in the "Payable to Parent" in the accompanying balance sheet. The
acquisition was accounted for as a purchase and accordingly, the results of
operations for Viggen are included in the Company's consolidated results of
operations from the date of acquisition.

   The purchase price of the MMA and Viggen acquisitions was allocated to the
assets acquired and liabilities assumed as follows (in thousands):

   The excess of cost over the fair value of net assets has been recorded as

respectively, that were not billable as certain milestone objectives specified
in the contracts had not been attained.

   Substantially all costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings at
December 31, 1999 are expected to be billed and collected during the year
ending December 31, 2000.

(6) Income Taxes

   As a result of its tax sharing agreement with the Parent (Note 1), the
Company has received no tax benefit from its losses because it has not paid or
accrued federal or state income taxes. The Company's taxable losses from
inception through December 31, 1999 have been assumed by the Parent under the
Tax Sharing Arrangement and as a result are not available to the Company to
provide any tax benefit in future periods. If the Company had filed separate
tax returns, it would have had approximately $26.5 million of net operating
loss carryforwards that could have been used to reduce future taxable income.

   Due to the Company's historical pattern of tax losses, management has
determined that a 100% valuation allowance against the Company's net deferred
tax assets is required. All changes in the valuation allowance result from this
determination.

   The Company's effective tax rate differs from the U.S. statutory tax rate of
35% because of the establishment of the valuation allowance.

(7) Equity

   In December 1999, in anticipation of an initial public offering of the
Company's common stock, and a concurrent spin-off of the Parent's investment in
the Company to the Parent's shareholders, the Company and the Parent entered
into a Separation and Distribution Agreement (Agreement), whereby the Parent
transferred the net assets and liabilities of its ITS division to the Company
in a transaction accounted for as a transfer between entities under common
control. Accordingly, such net assets and operations are reflected in the
Company's consolidated financial statements for all periods presented at the
historical amounts reported by the Parent in its consolidated financial
statements.

   In addition to the transfer of assets, the Agreement requires the Company to
repay $10 million of its Payable to Parent immediately upon receipt of proceeds
from an initial public offering of the Company's common stock. The Agreement
also provides that all shares of the Company's common stock that the Parent may
distribute to its shareholders be restricted as to its transferability for a
period of 180 days from the effectiveness of the Company's registration
statement.

   On January 25, 2000, the Company entered into an agreement with
DaimlerChrysler Venture GmbH (DaimlerChrysler Venture), pursuant to which
DaimlerChrysler Venture purchased a Subordinated Convertible Promissory Note
(Note) in the amount of $3.75 million. The Note is convertible into 433,405
shares of the Company's common stock either at the option of DaimlerChrysler
Venture at any time prior to the maturity, or automatically upon an initial
public offering of the Company's common stock or a change in control event, as

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)

defined in the agreement. The number of shares issuable upon conversion is
subject to adjustment for changes in the fair value of the Company's common
stock from $12 per share. The Note matures on January 25, 2002 and bears
interest at 8 per cent per annum, which is to be forgiven if the conversion
feature is triggered. In January 2000, the Company recorded a noncash charge to
interest expense of approximately $1.45 million to give financial accounting
recognition to the beneficial conversion contained in the Note.

   In January 2000, the Company reincorporated as a Delaware corporation and
changed its name to Iteris, Inc. Formerly the Company was known as Odetics ITS,
Inc. The Company also effected a 1.874916-to-1 common stock split on February
10, 2000. All share and per share information in the accompanying financial
statements have been restated to reflect this common stock split.

(8) Associates Incentive Programs

   Under the terms of the Parent's Profit Sharing Plan, the Company contributes
to a trust fund such amounts as are determined annually by the Company's Board
of Directors. No contributions were made in the years ended March 31, 1998 or
1999 and in the nine months ended December 31, 1999. The Company's associates
participate in the Parent's 401(k) Plan. Under the 401(k) Plan, eligible
associates voluntarily contribute to the plan up to 15% of their salary through
payroll deductions. The Company matches 50% of contributions up to a stated
limit. Under the provisions of the 401(k) Plan, associates have four investment
choices, one of which is the purchase of Odetics' Class A common stock at
market price. Company matching contributions were approximately $40,000,
$114,000, $120,000 and $191,000 in the years ended March 31, 1997, 1998 and
1999, and in the nine months ended December 31, 1999, respectively.

   The Company's employees with more than six months of eligible service
participate in the Parent's noncontributory Associate Stock Ownership Plan
(ASOP). The ASOP provides that Company contributions, which are determined
annually by the Board of Directors, may be in the form of cash or shares of the
Parent's stock. The Company contributions to the ASOP were approximately
$25,000, $51,000, $69,000 and none in the years ended March 31, 1997, 1998 and
1999 and in the nine months ended December 31, 1999, respectively.

   Certain executives of the Company participate in the Parent's Executive
Deferral Plan under which a portion of their annual compensation may be
deferred. Compensation charged to operations and deferred under the plan
totaled $12,000, $12,000, $12,000 and $9,000 for the years ended March 31,
1997, 1998 and 1999 and in the nine months ended December 31, 1999,
respectively.

(9) Stock Options

   In September 1997, the Company granted options to purchase up to 899,960
shares of common stock to certain members of senior management at an exercise
price of $1.07 per share. The options granted vested ratably at 25% on each of
the first four anniversaries of the grant date.

   Subsequently, the Company's Board of Directors and its Parent adopted and
approved the 1998 Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan"), as amended in February
2000 authorized 3,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock for issuance
under the Plan, and granted thereunder options to purchase 1,731,485 shares of
common stock at exercise prices of $1.60 to $9.07 per share, the fair value of
the underlying common stock as of the date of grant as determined by the Board
of Directors. Under terms of the Plan, eligible key employees, directors and
consultants can receive options to purchase shares of the Company's common
stock at prices not less than 100% for incentive stock options and not less
than 85% for nonqualified stock options of the fair value on the date of grant
as determined by the Board of Directors. Options expire ten years after date of
grant or 90 days after termination of employment. The options granted vested
ratably at 25% on each of the first four anniversaries of the grant date.

   During the nine month period ended December 31, 1999, the Company issued
158,000 options to employees for which the exercise price of the options was
less than the fair value of the Company's common stock at the date of grant. As
a result, the Company will incur compensation charges of $218,000, which will
be charged to operations over the four year vesting period of the options. In
the nine months ended December 31, 1999 the Company recorded $20,000 of expense
related to such options.

Pro Forma Disclosures of the Effect of Stock-Based Compensation Plans

   Pro forma information regarding results of operations and net loss per share
is required by Statement No. 123 for stock-based awards to employees as if the
Company had accounted for such awards using a valuation method permitted under
Statement No. 123.

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)


   Stock-based awards to employees under the Plan during the years ended March
31, 1999 and 1998, and for the nine months ended December 31, 1999, were valued
using the minimum value method, assuming no expected dividends and the
following weighted-averages:

     Fair value of options granted.............. $0.59  $0.84        $2.04
</TABLE>

   Should the Company complete an initial public offering of its common stock,
stock-based awards granted thereafter will be valued using the Black-Scholes
option pricing model. In addition to the factors used to estimate the fair
value of stock options issued using the minimum value method, the Black-Scholes
model considers the expected volatility of the Company's stock price,
determined in accordance with Statement No. 123, in arriving at an estimated
fair value. The minimum value method does not consider stock price volatility.

   For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated minimum value of the
Company's stock-based awards to employees is amortized over the options'
vesting period. The results of applying Statement No. 123 to the Company's
stock-based awards to employees would approximate the following (in thousands,
except per share data):

(12) Business Segment and Geographic Information

   Effective April 1, 1998, the Company adopted the FASB Statement Financial
No. 131, Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information
(Statement 131). Statement No. 131 establishes standards for the way that
public business enterprises report information about operating segments both
for annual and interim financial periods. Operating segments are components of
an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is
regularly evaluated by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to
allocate resources and in assessing performance. Statement 131 also establishes
standards for related disclosures about products and services, geographic
areas, and major customers. The adoption of Statement 131 did not affect
results of operations or financial position, but did affect the following
disclosure of segment information.

   The Company operates in two reportable segments: sensor and systems. The
accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described
in the summary of significant accounting policies except that certain expenses,
such as interest, amortization of certain intangibles and certain corporate
expenses are not allocated to the segments. In addition, the Company's net
assets are not allocated to the segments.

   The reportable segments are each managed separately because they manufacture
and distribute distinct products or services.

accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Significant estimates made in preparing the financial statements include the
allowance for doubtful accounts, and costs to complete long-term contracts.

 Revenue Recognition

   Contract revenue is derived primarily from long-term contracts with
governmental agencies. Contract revenue includes costs incurred plus a portion
of estimated fees or profits determined on the percentage of completion method
of accounting based on the relationship of costs incurred to total estimated
costs. Any anticipated losses on contracts are charged to earnings when
identified. Changes in job performance and estimated profitability, including
those arising from contract penalty provisions and final contract settlements
may result in revisions to cost and revenue and are recognized in the period in
which the revisions are determined. Profit incentives are included in revenue
when their realization is reasonably assured.

 Equipment, Furniture and Fixtures

   Equipment, furniture and fixtures are recorded at cost and are depreciated
principally by the declining balance method over their estimated useful lives
(four to eight years).

 Concentration of Credit Risk

   The Company performs periodic credit evaluations of its customers' financial
condition and generally does not require collateral. Credit losses have been
within management's expectations and within amounts provided through the
allowances for doubtful accounts. At December 31, 1997 and October 16, 1998,
accounts receivable from governmental agencies and prime government contractors
were approximately $764,000 and $1,120,000, respectively.

(2) Costs and Estimated Earnings on Uncompleted Contracts

   Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings at December 31, 1997 and
October 16, 1998 include $127,000 and $147,000, respectively, that were not
billable as certain milestone objectives specified in the contracts had not
been attained. Substantially all costs and estimated earnings in excess of
billings at October 16, 1998 are expected to be billed and collected within one
year.

(3) Line of Credit

   On April 3, 1997, the Company entered into a line of credit agreement with a
bank collateralized by substantially all of the Company's assets. Under the
terms of the agreement, the Company is required to comply with certain
financial covenants. The Company may borrow up to $300,000 with interest at the
bank's reference rate plus two percent (10.5% as of December 31, 1997 and
October 16, 1998). At December 31, 1997 and October 16, 1998, $100,000 and $0,
respectively, was outstanding. The agreement expires on March 1, 1999.

   In addition, the Company entered into a loan agreement with a bank

the agreement, the Company is required to comply with certain financial
covenants. The Company may borrow up to $100,000 with interest at the bank's
reference rate plus three percent (11.5% as of December 31, 1997). The Company
had no borrowings outstanding under this agreement at December 31, 1997 and
October 16, 1998.

(4) Income Taxes

   The Company utilizes the liability method of accounting for income taxes as
set forth in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting
for Income Taxes. Under the liability method, deferred taxes are determined
based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets
and liabilities using enacted tax rates.

   The components of the provision (benefit) for income taxes are as follows
for the year ended December 31, 1997 and the period from January 1, 1998 to
