NOTE 6 - GEOGRAPHIC AND BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company operates three reportable business segments:  communications,  video
compression  and satellite  transmission  technology.  The Company's  reportable
segments  are  strategic  business  units  that  offer  different  products  and
services.  They are managed separately based on fundamental differences in their
operations.

The  communications  segment  consists of the  operations of Boatracs,  Boatracs
Gulfport   ("Gulfport"),   Boatracs  Europe  ("Europe")  and  OceanTrac  Limited
("OceanTrac").  The communications  segment has exclusive distribution rights in
the  United  States  for  marine  application  of  the  OmniTRACS(R)  system  of
satellite-based  communication  and tracking  systems  manufactured  by QUALCOMM
Incorporated ("QUALCOMM"). In addition, the Company's wholly owned subsidiaries,
Europe  and  OceanTrac,  have  agreements  with  QUALCOMM's  authorized  service
providers in Europe and Canada for marine  distribution of OmniTRACS(R) in parts
of Europe and  Canada.  Gulfport  is a provider  of  software  applications  and
service  solutions  to  the  commercial  work  boat  and  petroleum  industries,
including customers of Boatracs.

The  video   compression   segment   consists  of  the  operations  of  Enerdyne
Technologies,  Inc.  ("Enerdyne")  which  the  Company  acquired  in July  1998.
Enerdyne is a provider of versatile,  high performance digital video compression
products and multiplexing equipment to government and commercial markets.

The satellite  transmission  technology  segment  consists of the  operations of
ICTI,  which the Company  acquired  effective  August 1999 (see Note 3). ICTI is
engaged in designing and implementing  bandwidth efficient  multimedia satellite
networks  and  develops  customized  software  solutions  to manage and allocate
available satellite  power/bandwidth  resources to optimize a satellite system's
lifecycle costs.

In 1998 there were two segments,  communications and video compression.  In 1997
there was only one segment,  communications.  Corporate  overhead  expenses have
been allocated based on revenue percentages of each segment to total revenues.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

The Company has three business units:
         1.  Boatracs,
         2.  Enerdyne Technologies, Inc. ("ENERDYNE"), a wholly owned
             subsidiary, and
         3.  Innovative Communications Technologies, Inc. ("ICTI"), a
             wholly owned subsidiary.

Statements  within  this  10-QSB  which  are  not  historical  facts,  including
statements  about  strategies and  expectations  for new and existing  products,
technologies,  and opportunities,  are  forward-looking  statements that involve
risks and  uncertainties.  The  Company  wishes to  caution  readers to the risk
factors inherent to the business  including,  but not limited to, the continuing
reliance  upon  QUALCOMM,  one of the major  suppliers of equipment  sold by the
Company,  and reliance upon QUALCOMM's Network Management Facility through which
the Company's message transmissions are formatted and processed. These and other
risks are more fully described in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for
the year ended December 31, 1999.

For the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999

Total  revenues for the quarter  ended March 31, 2000,  were  $3,312,529  an
increase of $245,229 or 8% compared to total revenues of $3,067,300 for the
quarter ended March 31, 1999.

Communications  revenue,  which  consist of  revenues  from the sale of Boatracs
systems,  software and data transmission and messaging were $1,576,006 or 47% of
total revenues, a net decrease of $55,618 or 3% compared to $1,631,624 or 53% of
total  revenues in the first  quarter of 1999.  The  decrease in  communications
revenue  compared  to the same  period of the prior year is due  primarily  to a
reduction in sales of Boatracs  systems in the amount of $88,080,  or 48%, and a
reduction in software revenues in the amount of $36,366, or 10%.

Video compression revenues were $715,745 or 22% of total revenues, a decrease of
$719,931,  or 50%,  compared to $1,435,676 or 47% of total revenues in the prior
comparable period.  The decrease in video compression  revenues is due primarily
to the  recognition  of revenue  attributable  to a particular  sale for quarter
ended March 31, 1999.

Revenues from satellite transmission  technology were $1,020,778 or 31% of total
revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2000.  Revenues were less than in prior
quarters due to delay in the conclusion of several major contracts.  The Company
acquired ICTI effective August 1, 1999 (see Note 3).

Communications  expense was $652,425 or 41% of  communications  revenues for the
quarter  ended  March 31,  2000,  a decrease  of  $136,331  or 17%,  compared to
$788,756  which  represented  48% of  communications  revenue in the  comparable
quarter of the prior year. The dollar  decrease is consistent  with the decrease
in communications  revenue in the quarter.  Communications expense includes data
transmission and messaging  expenses of $375,246 for the quarter ended March 31,
2000  compared  to  $445,604  in the  comparable  quarter of the prior  year,  a
decrease of $70,358 or 16% reflecting a new contract with volume  discounts from
the supplier  commencing in the second quarter of 1999. Overall gross margin for
communications  increased to 59% in the quarter ended March 31, 2000 from 52% in
the same  period  of the  prior  year.  While  the  gross  margin on the sale of
Boatracs systems remained relatively unchanged,  the margin on data transmission
and messaging  increased 8% to 67% from 59%. This increase was partially  offset
by a decrease in software margins of 4% for the quarter.

Video compression  expenses were $155,567 or 22% of video  compression  revenues
for the quarter  ended March 31, 2000, a decrease of $215,725 or 58% compared to
$371,292  or 26% of video  compression  revenues in the same period of the prior
year. The decrease in expenses reflects the decrease in video compression sales.
The increase in margin of 4% reflects changes in the mix of products sold.

Satellite  transmission  technology expenses were $636,248 or 62% of satellite
transmission  technology  revenues. ICTI was acquired by the Company effective
August 1, 1999.

Selling,  general and  administrative  expenses were  $2,701,185 or 82% of total
revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2000, an increase of $1,286,042 or 91%,
compared  to  $1,415,143  or 46% of total  revenues  in the prior  corresponding
quarter.   Of  the  total  expenses  for  the  quarter  ended  March  31,  2000,
approximately $538,000 relates to ICTI, acquired by the Company effective August
1, 1999. Overall,  accounting,  commissions,  insurance,  legal, office rent and
salary  expenses  increased,   offset  by  minor  decreases  in  consulting  and
shareholder relations.  In addition,  marketing expenses increased significantly
due to the  marketing  of new  products and  amortization  expense  increased by
$148,338 to $621,130 for the quarter  ended March 31, 2000  compared to $472,792
in the prior comparable  period.  Depreciation  expense  increased by $11,179 to
$87,316 for the three  months  ended  March 31, 2000  compared to $76,137 in the
same comparable prior period.

Research and development  expenses were $253,285 or 8% of total revenues for the
quarter ended March 31, 2000, an increase of $51,478 or 26% compared to research
and  development  expenses of $201,807 or 7% of total revenues in the comparable
quarter of the prior year.

Interest  expense in the amount of  $306,910  for the first  quarter of 2000 and
$204,730 in the first quarter of 1999,  primarily  represents  interest on notes
payable  issued in connection  with the  acquisitions  of Enerdyne and ICTI, and
warrants issued to a bank.

The income tax  benefit of  $321,475  for the  quarter  ended March 31, 2000 and
$111,000 for the same quarter in the prior year represents the amortization of a
temporary tax difference on the life of a patent.

Earnings before interest,  taxes,  depreciation and amortization for the quarter
ended March 31,  2000 was  negative  $377,734  compared to $838,544 in the first
quarter of 1999.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The  Company's  cash  balance at March 31,  2000 was  $557,153,  a  decrease  of
$300,481  compared to the December  31, 1999 cash balance of $857,634.  At March
31,  2000,  working  capital was  $1,076,780,  an increase of $607,022  from the
working  capital of $469,758 at December 31, 1999.  Cash of $595,314 was used in
operating activities,  cash of $81,231 was used in investing activities and cash
of $376,064 was provided by  financing  activities  in the first three months of
2000.

The Company  signed a Change in Terms  Agreement  increasing  the line of credit
agreement  with a bank to borrow up to  $1,750,000  at an interest rate equal to
the lender's  prime rate,  which was 9% on March 31,  2000,  and  extending  the
expiry date to December 29, 2001. At March 31, 2000, $1,405,000 was drawn on the
line of credit.  The Company is required to meet certain  restrictive  financial
and operating covenants under the line of credit. The bank has granted a
forbearance for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 pending its review of this
Form 10-QSB. The Company is in the process of re-negotiating the covenants and
examining financing alternatives for ongoing activities and future
acquisitions. The bank has expressed a willingness to continue as the Company's
bankers.

Accounts receivable net of an allowance for uncollectible  accounts decreased by
$1,028,480 to $3,417,290 at March 31, 2000 from  $4,445,770 at December 31, 1999
due primarily to the decrease in total  revenues for the quarter ended March 31,
2000. Property, net of accumulated depreciation, was $698,997 at March 31, 2000,
a decrease of $6,085 from  December 31,  1999,  due  primarily  to  depreciation
expense.  Goodwill,  net of accumulated  amortization,  decreased by $339,880 to
$15,683,600  due to amortization  expense in the first quarter of 2000.  Patent,
net of accumulated  amortization,  decreased by $281,250 from December 31, 1999,
due to amortization expense in the first three months of 2000.

Accounts payable was $901,649 at March 31, 2000, a decrease of $930,336 compared
to $1,831,985  at December 31, 1999.  Accrued  expenses  decreased by $59,950 at
March 31, 2000 to $1,531,304 from  $1,591,254.  When combining  accounts payable
and accrued  expenses there is a $990,286  decrease due primarily to a reduction
in revenues and associated  expenses.  Total notes payable (short term plus long
term) in the amount of $9,730,460  at March 31, 2000,  compared to $9,444,776 at
December 31, 1999,  relates to a promissory note to a bank entered into December
1998 and notes owing to the previous  owners of Enerdyne  and ICTI.  The balance
increased  by $655,000 at March 31,  2000  compared to December  31, 1999 due to
drawings on the line of credit, offset by payments of $369,316.

The Company anticipates making capital expenditures in excess of $300,000 during
2000,  excluding  assets  acquired  in  acquisitions.  To date,  the Company has
financed its working capital needs through private loans,  the issuance of stock
and cash  generated  from  operations.  Expansion of the Company's  business may
require a commitment of substantial  funds.  To the extent that the net proceeds
of private financing  activities and internally generated funds are insufficient
to fund  the  Company's  operating  requirements,  it may be  necessary  for the
Company to seek additional funding, either through collaborative arrangements or
through public or private  financing.  There can be no assurance that additional
financing will be available on acceptable  terms or at all. If additional  funds
are raised by issuing equity securities,  dilution to the existing  shareholders
may result. If adequate funds are not available, the Company's business would be
adversely affected.

Year 2000 Issues

The Company has not  experienced  significant  year 2000  issues  subsequent  to
December 31, 1999 and does not  currently  believe  that it will incur  material
costs or experience  material  disruptions in its business  associated  with the
year 2000.
