Note A:  Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principals for interim financial
information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB. Accordingly, they do not
include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted
accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered
necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the
three and six month periods ended June 30, 1997 are not necessarily indicative
of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 1997. For
further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto for
the year ended December 31, 1996.

Note B:  Net Income Per Share

In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB
Statement No. 128, "Earnings Per Share". This Statement replaces the
presentation of primary earnings per share (EPS) with basic EPS and also
requires dual presentation of basic and diluted EPS for entities with complex
capital structures. This Statement is effective for the fiscal year ending
December 31, 1997. For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1997,
there is no difference between basic earnings per share under Statement No. 128
and net income per share as reported.

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

                (Three and Six Month Periods Ended June 30, 1997)


Revenues for the second quarter of 1997 were $1,131,000 up 33% from $852,000 for
the same period a year ago while revenues for the first half of 1997 were
$2,036,000, up 37% from $1,482,000 a year ago. The increase in revenues for the
quarter and six month period was due primarily to added royalty income resulting
from increased sales of Autoscope(R) systems by our North American distributor
and added direct product sales to international customers. Sales revenue
increases for the second quarter and six month period were offset in part by
decreased contract fees as the Company completed a large contract in the fourth
quarter of 1996.

Gross profits were $948,000 in the second quarter of 1997, or 84% of revenue,
compared to $564,000, or 66% of revenue, for the same period a year ago. Gross
profits for the first half of 1997 were $1,591,000, or 78% of revenue, compared
to $1,026,000, or 69% of revenue, for the same period a year ago. The
improvement in margins in 1997 are due primarily to proportionately more revenue
from royalties and direct sales, which have higher gross profit margins than
contract fee income.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $552,000 and $1,047,000,
respectively, for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1997 compared
to $648,000 and $1,416,000 for the same periods a year ago. The decreases were
due primarily from reduced personnel costs in technical, sales and marketing and
general and administrative departments as fewer personnel are now employed in
each of these areas.

Research and development expenses were $160,000 and $331,000, respectively, for
the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1997 compared to $236,000 and
$555,000 for the same periods a year ago. The decreases were due primarily from
less costs for contracted outside product development services and parts.

Other income, net was $21,000 and $49,000, respectively, for the three and six
month periods ended June 30, 1997 compared to $22,000 and $52,000, respectively,
for the same periods a year ago. The small decrease resulted primarily from
slightly less interest income from cash equivalents.

The Company expects to avail itself of an operating loss carryforward and incur
no income tax expense in 1997.


Liquidity and Capital Resources:

The Company completed an initial public offering in June 1995 with the sale of
990,000 shares of common stock, receiving net proceeds of approximately $3.9
million. The proceeds are being used for the expansion of the business and the
unused portion is currently held in interest-bearing cash equivalents.

Cash used in operations was $100,000 for the six-month period ended June 30,
1997, compared to $1,099,000 for the same period in 1996. The decrease in
negative cash flow from operations was primarily due to the turn-around in
operating results as the Company had net income of $262,000 for the first half
of 1997 compared to a net loss of $875,000 for the first half of 1996.

<PAGE>


Capital expenditures were $48,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 1997,
compared to $65,000 for the same period in the prior year. The Company does not
expect to make significant changes to the level of investments in capital
expenditures for the balance of 1997.

Management believes that its cash and investment position, anticipated cash
flows from operations, and funds available through its bank line of credit will
be sufficient to meet working capital requirements for current operations and
planned new product introductions for the foreseeable future.


Factors Affecting Future Performance:

Periodically in reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, in
press releases, and in other communications to shareholders and the investing
public, the Company may make statements regarding the Company's future financial
performance. Such forward looking statements are subject to risks and
uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those
projected, including the ability and willingness of governmental agencies
responsible for roadway planning to invest in Autoscope machine vision
technology for advanced traffic management, the impact of new products
introduced by competitors, and higher than expected expenses to complete the
development of new products and to establish a worldwide marketing presence.
