NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

The financial statements of The Tracker Corporation of America that accompany
the notes which follow are unaudited except for our balance sheet as of March
31, 1998. They are prepared in accordance with instructions to Form 10-Q and
Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X and do not include all the information and notes
required by Generally Accepted Accounting Principles for complete financial
statements. We believe we have included all adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring accruals) considered necessary for fair presentation. You should read
these financial statements in conjunction with the financial statements and
accompanying notes from our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March
31, 1998 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.


NOTE 2 - NET (GAIN) LOSS PER SHARE:

We use the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding to
compute Tracker's net gain or loss per share during the periods presented. All
earnings per share amounts are presented and, where appropriate, restated to
conform to Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 128, Earnings per
Share. Statement 128 substitutes the determination of basic and diluted earnings
per share for the previously reported primary and fully diluted earnings per
share. Unlike primary earnings per share, the calculation of basic earnings per
share excludes any dilutive effects of options, warrants and convertible
securities. The calculation of diluted earnings per share is similar to the
previously reported fully diluted earnings per share.

NOTE 3 - GOING CONCERN:

We have prepared the financial statements assuming that Tracker will continue as
a going concern. However, the reports of our former independent accountant for
our 1996-97 and 1995-96 fiscal years and the report of our current independent
accountant express doubt concerning our ability to continue as a going concern.
The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might
result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 4 - DEFERRED CHARGES:

Deferred charges consist of the following:

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

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements. The
term, "forward-looking statements," is defined in Section 27A of the Securities
Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. When used in
this Form 10-Q and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, in
our press releases, and in our oral statements, words or phrases such as
"believes," "anticipates," "expects," "intends," "will likely result,"
"estimates," "projects" or similar expressions are intended to denote
forward-looking statements. The possible results that may be suggested by
forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause
actual results to differ materially. Some of the factors that might cause such
differences include risks associated with the development of a new technology;
technological obsolescence; dependence on the Tracker(TM) System and the
uncertainty of its market acceptance; history of operating losses and
expectation of future losses; limited sales and marketing experience; heightened
competition; lack of manufacturing capability and dependence on contract
manufacturers and suppliers; dependence on proprietary technology, including the
adequacy of patent and trade secret protection; retention of key personnel and
recruitment of additional qualified skilled personnel; and the failure to raise
additional funds.

Do not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. The forward-looking
statements speak only as of the date made and may not reflect events or
circumstances which occur thereafter. Carefully review and consider the various
disclosures we make in this report and in our other public filings to advise
interested parties of the risks factors and other uncertainties that may affect
our business.

DEVELOPMENT STAGE ACTIVITIES

Tracker has been in the development stage since its formation. Our present line
of business originated in 1994 with the development, marketing, sale and
operation of the "Tracker(TM) System." The Tracker(TM) System is a personal
property marking and monitoring system that utilizes advanced bar code and laser
scanning technology to create an identification device that interfaces with a
computer database and scanning network.

                                      6
<PAGE>   9
From inception through December 31, 1998, we have incurred losses totaling
approximately $17 million, including approximately $1.7 million in operational
costs, $943,000 in research and development expenses, $3.5 million in sales and
marketing expenses and $8 million in general and administrative expenses. Our
development stage activities have consisted primarily of research and product
development, product design, and the creation and implementation of marketing
programs to sell The Tracker(TM) System. We have generated limited revenue and
sustained significant operating losses each year since inception. We expect such
losses to continue for at least the next two years.

Although we continue to believe that The Tracker(TM) System has significant
commercial potential, our present financial circumstances and past experience
require adoption of a more narrowly focused and less costly marketing strategy.
We are in the process of identifying markets we believe will prove most
responsive to our initiatives and developing strategies for optimizing the
limited resources we will have if we obtain additional financing. We are also
evaluating unrelated business opportunities that might benefit Tracker by
reducing our reliance on The Tracker(TM) System as a sole source of revenue and
earnings.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

COMPARISON OF THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998 AND 1997

Discontinued Operations: During the 1996-97 fiscal year and the first half of
the 1997-98 fiscal year we derived substantial revenue from discontinued
operations. The period-to-period comparisons that appear below adjust
retroactively our results of operations to account for the discontinuance.

Overall Performance: Our total net loss, including the net loss from
discontinued operations, totaled $124,622 and $18,036 during the three and nine
months ended December 31, 1998, as compared to $579,721 and $1,018,401 during
the same periods in 1997. Our net loss from continuing operations totaled
$118,637 and $391,830 during the three and nine months ended December 31, 1998,
as compared to gains of $5,910 and $23,441 during the same periods in 1997. The
1997 gains are largely attributable to the allocation of most 1997 expenses to
discontinued operations.

Revenue: Our revenue for the three months ended December 31,
1998 increased 62% to $20,117 as compared to $12,393 one year ago. The revenue
for the nine months ended December 31, 1998 increased 136% to $113,630 as
compared to $48,114 a year ago. We attribute this revenue increase to the
mid-1998 settlement of our lawsuit with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
This settlement permitted us to redirect our scarce resources from the defense
of the lawsuit to our business.                

Cost of Sales: Cost of sales increased 281% or $7,798 for the three-month
period ended December 31, 1998, as compared to $2,194 for the comparable 1997
period. For the nine-month period ended December 31, 1998, cost of sales grew
207% to 59,222 as compared to $19,282 one year ago. Our cost of sales increased
significantly because of the higher production costs Tracker experienced as our
product mix shifted from simple labels to metal tags that require 

                                      7

assembly.

Gross Profits: Notwithstanding disproportionate increases in cost of sales,
gross profits increased in both the three-month period and the nine-month period
ended December 31, 1998. For the three-month period, gross profits increased by
20%, to $12,319 as compared to the comparable 1997 period. For the nine-month
period, gross profits increased by 88.7%, to $54,408, as compared to the
comparable 1997 period. We believe gross profits increased because of a renewed
focus on sales following settlement of the FTC suit.

Development Costs: Development costs fall into four categories: Operational,
Information systems, sales and marketing, and general and administrative.
Operational includes the costs to operate The Tracker(TM) System call center and
recovery service, and compensation costs for operations and security personnel.
Information systems includes compensation costs for MIS personnel. Sales and
marketing includes compensation costs for sales and marketing personnel, trade
show attendance and software development. General and administrative includes
executive and secretarial compensation and rent.

Prior to the discontinuance of the credit card registration service, we
allocated development costs between our business segments on a percentage basis
based upon revenue. Because discontinued operations generated a
disproportionate amount of revenue, we attributed to it most of our development
costs. Since the discontinuance, we have shifted the allocation of development
costs solely to the Tracker(TM) System product line. Because of this change in
methodology, total development costs appear to have increased by 3050% for the
three months ended December 31, 1998, to $130,956, compared to the comparable
1997 period, and by 8277% for the nine months ended December 31, 1998, to
$446,238, as compared to $5,391 one year ago.                            

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our operations since inception have been funded by net proceeds from the sale of
Common and Preferred Stock, notes and debentures totaling approximately
$10,255,205, net of discontinued operations. During the nine months ended
December 31, 1998, our net cash used in operations was $502,682 as compared to
$23,508 for the comparable 1997 period. The substantial increase in cash used in
operations during the 1998 period reflects the reduction in cash flows
previously generated by discontinued operations without a commensurate increase
in cash flows from sales of The Tracker(TM) System. Cash used in operations was
devoted primarily to funding the development of identification and recovery
systems and software, labels, packaging, marketing and advertising. 

At December 31, 1998, we had total current assets of $138,072 as compared to
$1,187,699 at March 31, 1998. Current assets consisted of accounts receivable in
the amount of $23,651 as compared to Nil at March 31, 1998, and current deferred
charges in the amount of $114,421 as compared to $1,187,699 at March 31, 1998.
The substantial decrease in current assets at December 31, 1998 as compared to
March 31, 1998 results from the disposition of assets in the intervening period
as a result of the bankruptcy of our wholly-owned subsidiary, Tracker Canada.  

                                      8
<PAGE>   11
At December 31, 1998, we had amount due from stockholders of $14,072, the same
as at March 31, 1998, and long-term deferred charges totaling $158,746 as
compared to $275,043 at March 31, 1998. The amount due from stockholders
primarily reflects expenses advanced to our Chief Executive Officer who, to
enable Tracker to conserve cash, has not drawn a salary since Fall  1997. The
reduction in long-term deferred charges reflects the reduced deferred 
commission expense resulting from discontinued operations.
                                                                               

At December 31, 1998, we had liabilities of $2,058,763 as compared to $3,275,560
at March 31, 1998. We experienced an approximately $1.6 million reduction in
liabilities through the recognition of deferred revenue from discontinued
operations. Other liabilities increased approximately $400,000 in the
intervening period. Such liabilities consist of: accounts payable in the amount
of $749,503 at December 31, 1998 as compared to $440,835 at March 31, 1998;
accrued liabilities in the amount of $603,980 as compared to $528,399 at March
31, 1998; deferred revenues in the amount of $197,680 as compared to $1,798,727
at March 31, 1998; debentures in the amount of $31,809 as compared to the same
as at March 31, 1998; and convertible subordinated debentures in the amount of
$475,790 as compared to the same at March 31, 1998. We had long-term deferred
revenues in the amount of $264,660 at December 31, 1998 as compared to $412,846
at March 31, 1998.

As of December 31, 1998 and March 31, 1998, respectively, our accumulated
deficits totaled $17,019,319 and $17,001,283. To date, we have financed our
research and development activities and operations primarily through sales
generated by discontinued operations, private placements of debt and equity
securities, the sale of equity securities pursuant to Regulation S, and loans. 

CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

We are currently focusing on commercializing our personal property
identification and recovery system through various distribution channels. The
acquisition of equipment, establishment of distribution channels and the
execution of a comprehensive marketing campaign are crucial to our success. We
believe the system has a selling cycle of up to 24 months and, as a result,
additional capital will be required before our revenue stream grows to support
these activities. We cannot assure that the necessary equity or debt funding
to support this effort will be available when needed, in sufficient amounts,
on acceptable terms, or at all. If we do not receive sufficient funding on
acceptable terms, this could prevent or delay the marketing, sale and operation
of our services and will have a material adverse effect on our business,
operating results and financial condition.
                                                                               
Our current cash projections indicate that its short-term annual funding
requirements will be approximately $2 million for the next twelve months. We
anticipate that future cash sales and equity or debt financing will cover
long-term cash needs, but this might not occur. We are currently seeking
additional equity/debt financing to finance our immediate working capital needs
and supplement future cash flows. No assurance can be given that the necessary
funding will be available to us when needed, in sufficient amounts, on
acceptable terms, or at all. Any failure to receive sufficient funding when
needed, in sufficient amounts, and on acceptable terms would affect our ability
to continue as a going concern.

                                OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We, along with Symbol Technologies, Inc. ("Symbol"), are defendants in a
lawsuit filed by Datastrip (IOM) Limited ("Datastrip") in the United States
District Court for the District of Delaware. Datastrip alleges that Tracker is
infringing on Datastrip's U.S. Patent No. 4,782,221, relating to certain
data-encoding technology allegedly developed by Datastrip and that Symbol is
inducing infringement of the patent. The complaint seeks injunctive relief
against both Tracker and Symbol, and unspecified damages against Symbol. We
believe, based on advice of Symbol's counsel, that neither Tracker nor Symbol
are liable to Datastrip and that the claim is frivolous and without merit with
regard to both facts and law. Symbol is vigorously defending itself and us
against Datastrip's claim. Discovery has been completed, including dicovery of
expert witnesses. Based on the results of discovery, Symbol's counsel, on
February 18, 1999, filed four motions with the district court seeking summary
judgment. Symbol, however, has not agreed to indemnify us from any losses that
may result from this claim. 

We are not a party to any other material litigation and are not aware of any
pending or threatened litigation that would have a material adverse effect upon
our business, operating results or financial condition. 

ITEM 3.  DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES

         As of December 31, 1998, we are in default to our subordinated
convertible debenture holders in the principal amount of $475,790 plus accrued
interest.
