Note 2 - Reclassifications

      Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the
      current period presentation.

Note 3 - Licensing and Investment Agreement

      In November 1999, we signed an agreement with Macrovision Corporation
      ("Macrovision") to jointly develop and market music copy protection
      technology for optical based media. In connection with the agreement we
      granted to Macrovision an exclusive world-wide, royalty-bearing license to
      use our proprietary technology through December 31, 2009. We will be
      entitled to a 30% royalty on sales of the products to be jointly
      developed, which royalty may be adjusted to 25%, under certain conditions.
      Also under certain conditions, the exclusive license may revert to a
      non-exclusive license as of the second anniversary of the Commercial
      Launch, as defined.

      Under the Agreement, in January 2000, Macrovision made a $ 4 million
      equity investment in the Company for an 11.4% interest and received an
      exclusive license to our proprietary DiscGuard(TM) technology. Also under
      the agreement, we have agreed to reimburse Macrovision for up to $1
      million of research and development and sales and marketing expenses
      incurred within the first year of the joint development

Note 4 - Private Placement

      In February 2000, we completed a private placement of 1,800,000 shares of
      our Common Stock, par value $0.001 ("Common Stock") and 900,000 Class A
      Warrants for an aggregate purchase price of $ 10,000,000. The Class A
      Warrants are exercisable for a period of 60 months at an exercise price
      per share of $8.84. We may redeem the Class A Warrants for $ 0.10 per
      warrant commencing 6 months following issuance if there is an effective
      registration statement covering the sale of the underlying Common Stock
      and shares of Common Stock have traded at or above 200% of the exercise
      price of the Class A Warrants for a period of twenty consecutive trading
      days. Upon exercise of the

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

      Class A Warrants, we will issue Class B Warrants for an additional 450,000
      shares of Common Stock. The Class B Warrants are exercisable for a period
      of 36 months from the date of issuance at an exercise price per share of
      $21.22. The Class B Warrants may be redeemed by us if there is an
      effective registration statement covering the sale of the underlying
      Common Stock and shares of Common Stock have trade at $ 26 or above for a
      period of twenty consecutive trading days. We paid a placement agent fee
      of $500,000 and issued warrants to purchase 180,000 shares of Common Stock
      exercisable at $5.56 per share, 90,000 Class A Warrants exercisable at
      $8.84 and upon exercise an additional 45,000 Class B Warrants exercisable
      at $21.22. Also in connection with the private placement, we paid $200,000
      and issued 275,000 warrants, exercisable at $2.75, as a finder fee.

Note 5 - Stock Option Grants

      In January 2000, we issued to our CEO 347,000 options under the 1996 Stock
      Option Plan which are exercisable at a price per share of $4.00. Of this
      amount, 173,000 were fully vested upon grant and 174,000 will vest over 12
      months. In January 2000, we also issued to our Chief Technology Office
      70,000 options under the Plan. Of this amount 30,000 were fully vested
      upon grant with an exercise price of $4 per share, 20,000 were fully
      vested upon grant with an exercise price of $.01 per share and the
      remaining 20,000 options with an exercise price of $.01 per share will
      vest upon the commercial launch of the audio content protection product
      being jointly developed by us and Macrovision.

      The exercise prices of the foregoing grants were below the fair value of
      the underlying common stock. This resulted in a charge to deferred
      compensation in the amount of $628,725 which is being amortized over the
      vesting period of the related grants.

Note 6 - Authorized Shares

      In July 2000, the Company's stockholders voted to increase the number of
      authorized shares of Common Stock to 50,000,000.

Note 7 - Investment in ComSign, Ltd.

      On June 4, 2000, the Company and Comda Ltd. ("Comda") jointly established,
      ComSign Ltd. ("ComSign") an Israeli company, in Israel to act as
      VeriSign's sole principal affiliate in Israel and the Palestinian
      Authority. ComSign will market VeriSign's digital authentication
      certificates and act as VeriSign's certification authority in Israel and
      the Palestinian Authority. Under the provisions of the agreement, we
      invested $2.0 million for a 50% equity interest in ComSign. The agreement
      further provides that 60% of any dividends up to an accumulated amount of
      $2,000,000 will first be distributed to TTR and 40% to Comda. Thereafter,
      60% of dividends up to an accumulated amount of $2,000,000 will first be
      distributed to Comda and 40% to TTR. Thereafter, all distributions will be
      50% to each. The Company applies the equity method of accounting for its
      investment in the joint venture.

Note 8 - Consulting Agreements

      In May 2000, we granted a total of 250,000, three-year incentive stock
      options to a consultant pursuant to a one-year consulting agreement. The
      first 100,000 options vest immediately then each of the next 50,000 will
      vest when the closing bid price of our Common Stock exceeds $8, $12, and
      $16, respectively, for fifteen trading days out of any twenty. The
      exercise prices of the warrants are $4.13 per share.

      In June 2000, we granted a total of 350,000 five-year warrants to a
      consultant pursuant to a one-year consulting agreement. The warrants
      become exercisable when the average weighted bid price of our Common Stock
      exceeds $10 per share for twenty consecutive trading days. The exercise
      prices of the warrants are $6.50, $7.50 and $8.50 for 125,000, 125,000 and
      100,000 respectively.

      In August 2000, we granted a total of 200,000 five-year warrants to a
      consultant pursuant to a one-year consulting agreement. The first 100,000
      warrants vest immediately and the next 100,000 vest ratable over seven
      months. The warrants are not exercisable during the first two years from
      the date of grant until our Common Stock has traded at or above $10 per
      share for fifteen consecutive trading days. The exercise prices of the
      warrants are $7.50 per share.

      In September 2000, we issued options from the 2000 Equity Incentive Plan
      to purchase 50,000 shares of Common Stock for services rendered. This
      resulted in a charge to stock based compensation of approximately
      $160,000.

Note 9 - Stock Option Plan

      In May 2000, our Board of Directors adopted the 2000 Equity Incentive Plan
      (the "2000 Incentive Plan"). A total of 1.5 million shares of common stock
      have been reserved for issuance under the 2000 Incentive Plan. The 2000
      Incentive Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options,
      nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock,
      bonus stock, awards in lieu of cash obligations, other stock-based awards,
      performance units, and also permits cash payments under certain
      conditions. In July 2000 the 2000 Incentive Plan was approved by our
      Stockholders.

ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations

      The following discussion and exposition should be read in conjunction with
the Financial Statements and related Notes contained elsewhere in this Form
10-Q. Certain statements made in this discussion are "forward-looking
statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act
of 1995. Forward-looking statements can be identified by terminology such as
"may," "will," "should," "expects," "intends," "anticipates," "believes,"
"estimates," "predicts," or "continue" or the negative of these terms or other
comparable terminology and include, without limitation, the statements below
regarding: our joint venture with Macrovision; ComSign's intended business
plans; our expectations as to sources of revenue; our intentions to develop or
acquire other technologies; and our belief as to the sufficiency of our cash
reserves. Forward-looking statements are speculative and uncertain and not based
on historical facts. Because forward-looking statements involve risks and
uncertainties, there are important factors that could cause actual results to
differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking
statements. These factors include, but are not limited to, the competitive
environment in the copy protection industry in general and in the Company's
specific market areas; demographic changes; changes in federal, state and/or
local government law and regulations; changes in operating strategy or
development plans; the ability to attract and retain qualified personnel; labor
disturbances; and changes in the Company's acquisition and capital expenditure
plans. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the
forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results,
performance or achievements. Moreover, neither we nor any other person assumes
responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of these forward looking
statements. We are under no duty to update any of the forward-looking statements
after the date of this Quarterly Report to conform such statements to actual
results.

General

      We design and develop anti-piracy software technologies that provide copy
protection for electronic content distributed on optical media and over the
Internet. Our proprietary anti-piracy technology, MusicGuard, is a unique
hardware-based technology designed to prevent the unauthorized copying of audio
content distributed on CDs.

      As of November 24, 1999, we entered into an agreement with Macrovision
Corporation to jointly design, develop and market a copy protection product
designed to thwart the illegal copying of audio content on CDs, DVDs and other
optical media. Optical media store data which may be retrieved by utilizing a
laser and include compact discs which are commonly referred to as CDs and
digital versatile discs which are commonly referred to as DVDs. The new product
will be based primarily upon our MusicGuard technology, as well as related
Macrovision technology, and will be jointly owned by us and Macrovision. We
expect that the immediate application of the technology we are developing with
Macrovision will be of interest for the music distribution business and
recording studios whose products are customarily distributed on CDs. We granted
to Macrovision an exclusive world-wide royalty bearing license to design,
develop and market the copy protection technology which we are jointly
developing. The license to Macrovision relates to all technologies and products
designed to prevent the illicit duplication of audio programs (including the
audio portion of music videos, movies and other video or audio content)
distributed on optical media (not limited to CDs and DVDs) and technologies for
Internet digital rights management for audio applications. The proposed copy
protection technology we are developing with Macrovision will be transparent to
the legitimate end-user.

      Our immediate goal is to establish the proposed audio content protection
technology which we and Macrovision are developing as the leading product in the
target market of audio content copy protection for the high-volume recording
industry. Additionally, we are actively


                                      -8-
<PAGE>

developing other technologies and looking to acquire technologies, which are
synergistic with our current business and will enable us to leverage our
knowledge base and skill.

      In June 2000, we established a joint venture with Comda Ltd. ("Comda),
ComSign Ltd. ("ComSign") in Israel, to be Verisign's sole principal affiliate in
Israel and the Palestinian Authority, market its digital authentication
certificates and act as the local certifying authority. ComSign intends to
market these products and services to leading e-commerce sites, banks and other
financial institutions, government organizations and a full range of commercial
entities.

      We have not had any significant revenues to date. As of September 30, 2000
we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $28.6 million. Our expenses have
related primarily to expenses related to and expenditures on research and
development, marketing, recruiting and retention of personnel, costs of raising
capital and operating expenses.

Revenue Sources

      We expect, for the near-term, that our primary source of revenue will be
royalties under our license agreement with Macrovision and distributions from
our joint venture, ComSign. We are currently seeking to develop or acquire other
technologies that will provide other sources of revenue. However, there can be
no assurance that we will develop or acquire other technologies or if we do,
that such technologies will generate any revenue or profits.

Stock Based Compensation

      Compensation expense arising from stock grants, and options and warrants
issued at exercise prices below the quoted market price as of the date of grant
is recognized over the period that services are rendered. As more fully
described below in "Results of Operations," we have recorded expense in
connection with stock based compensation during 1999 and 2000.

Results of Operations

Nine months ended September 30, 2000 ("2000 Period") compared to nine months
ended September 30, 1999 ("1999 Period") and the three months ended September
30, 2000 compared to the three months ended September 30, 1999.

      Revenues for the 2000 Period and 1999 Period were $2,014 and $ 67,341,
respectively, and were, in each case, derived from licensing fees of our
DiscGuard product. There were no revenues for the three-month period ended
September 30, 2000 as compared to $26,848 for the comparable period in 1999.

      Pursuant to our agreement with Macrovision, we have agreed to reimburse
Macrovision for up to $1 million for research and development and sales and
marketing expenses incurred within the first year of the joint development. As
of September 30, 2000, we have reimbursed Macrovision the maximum obligation of
$1,000,000.

      Research and development costs for the 2000 Period were $936,008 as
compared to $240,504 for the 1999 Period. Research and development costs for the
three-month period ended September 30, 2000 were $179,286 compared to $41,884
for the comparable period in 1999. This increase is a result of our joint
development efforts with Macrovision on the development of a copy protection
product for audio content.

      Sales and marketing expenses for the 2000 Period were $493,538 as compared
to $373,733 for the 1999 Period and $129,443 for the three-month period ended
September 30, 2000 compared to $104,942 for the comparable period in 1999. This
increase is a result of joint sales and marketing efforts with Macrovision .


                                      -9-
<PAGE>

      General and administrative expenses for the 2000 Period were $1,489,639 as
compared to $478,561 for the 1999 Period and $542,762 for the quarter ended
September 30, 2000 as compared to $39,628 in the same quarter in 1999. This
increase was due primarily to increased consulting and general operations.
During the quarter ended September 30, 2000, we incurred higher than usual
professional fees associated with the Company's application for its NASDAQ
listing and other corporate matters.

      Stock-based compensation for the 2000 Period was $1,202,792 as compared to
$1,381,106 for the 1999 Period and $442,314 for the three-month period ended
September 30, 2000 compared to $691,351 for the same period in 1999.

      Our fifty percent owned affiliate, ComSign Ltd., commenced operations in
July 2000. Our share of the net losses for the period ended September 30, 2000,
was $74,305.

      Amortization of deferred financing costs for the 1999 Period was $906,564.
This was a result of warrants issued in connection with our 10% Convertible
Debentures.

      Interest income for the 2000 Period increased to $396,226 as compared to
$732 for the 1999 Period. Interest income for the three months ended September
30, 2000 was $155,104 as compared to $188 in the comparable period in 1999. The
increase is attributable to the higher cash and cash equivalent balances,
primarily resulting from the February 2000 private placement.

      Interest expense for the 2000 Period decreased to $5,473 as compared to
$402,776 for the 1999 Period. Included in interest expense for the 1999 period
is non-cash amortization of note discount of $204,079. Note discounts were
imputed to reflect the equity component of the related financings. Interest
expense for the three months ended September 30, 2000 were $836 as compared to
$94,769 in the comparable period in 1999. The decrease is attributable to the
reduction in debt.

      We reported a net loss for the 2000 Period of $3,803,515 or $(.24) per
share on a basic and diluted basis, as compared to a net loss of $3,715,171 or
$(.69) per share for the 1999 period and $1,213,842 or $(.07) per share for the
three-month period ended September 30, 2000 compared to $1,470,314 or ($.26) per
share for the comparable three month period in 1999. Of the net loss for the
2000 Period, $1,000,000 is attributable to our reimbursement commitment to
Macrovision.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

      At September 30, 2000, we had cash of approximately $9 million,
representing an increase of approximately $8.8 million over December 31, 1999.
Cash used by operating activities during the 2000 Period was $2.6 million
compared to $1.4 million during the 1999 Period. During the 2000 period we used
$2 million of our cash for our investment in ComSign and we raised approximately
$13.5 million in additional sales of our Common Stock. We believe, that cash
on-hand is sufficient to meet our requirements for the next 12 months.

NASDAQ Smallcap Listing

      On October 23, 2000, the Company's Common Stock became listed on the
NASDAQ Smallcap market (stock symbol: ttre). Prior to the NASDAQ Smallcap
listing, the Common Stock traded on the OTC Electronic Bulletin Board.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

      Market risks relating to changes in interest rates and foreign currency
exchanges rates were reported in Item 7A of the Company's Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999. There has been no material change in
these market risks since the end of the fiscal year 1999.
