in 1999. Total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 were $93.9

During the first quarter ended March 31, 2000, the Company recorded an
extraordinary gain of approximately $1.5 million, net of taxes, or $0.05 per
diluted share, as a result of the early extinguishment of debt. Including the
extraordinary item, net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 was
approximately $5.2 million, or $0.18 per diluted share.
Mr. John Heyman, the Company's Chief Financial Officer, said, "Let me emphasize
the transition we have made to a subscription-based pricing model. To date, we
have signed over $60.0 million of agreements or commitments that would have
resulted in a substantial increase in reported results under a traditional
licensing model. While current performance has been negatively impacted by the
change, we estimate the long-term effects on our growth and visibility should be
very positive."
Mr. Erez Goren, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, commented, "Our new
products continue to drive excitement in the retail industry. In the third
quarter, we completed Wave 2.1, which enhanced functionality around e-
procurement, inventory management and workforce management and introduced
supplier integration capabilities. Our industry expertise, technology
architecture and product road map have been the foundation behind important
client commitments we received during the last quarter, such as Tricon Global
Restaurants, Inc. Our Lighthouse product is gaining momentum across our retail
markets. Additionally, this week, we have released our Lighthouse product for
the table service restaurant market, opening a sizeable opportunity for growth."
Mr. Heyman continued, "We are pleased with our current financial performance.
Moreover, the strength of our products
<PAGE>
and expansion into new markets is translating into increases in our revenue
pipeline, which is the leading indicator for future revenue growth. Client
commitments to Wave put us significantly ahead of our internal ASP revenue
pipeline targets and, given their industry leadership position, helps validate
the technology and our ASP business model."
The Company will webcast its third quarter 2000 financial results conference
call today. The webcast will begin at 5:00 p.m. EST and will be available at
http://www.radiantsystems.com/ir_def.htm. The webcast will also be available
