SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT UNDER THE
PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB contains forward-looking
statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, and
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These
forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that may cause the
Company's actual results to differ materially from the results discussed in the
forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such differences include,
but are not limited to, lack of market acceptance of the Company's products;
dependence on third parties for manufacturing and marketing capabilities and
continuing ability to pay royalties owed; inability of the Company to diversify
its product offerings; revenue fluctuations caused by the Company's dependence
on sales to governmental entities; failure of the Company to secure adequate
protection for the Company's intellectual property rights; failure of the
Company to respond to evolving industry standards and technological changes;
inability of the Company to properly manage growth in revenue and/or production
requirements; inability of the Company to meet its future additional capital
requirements; and control of the voting stock by insiders. The forward-looking
statements are qualified in their entirety by the cautions and risk factors set
forth in Exhibit 99, under the caption "Cautionary Statement," to this Quarterly
Report.

Item 2.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
(Three- and Nine-month Periods Ended September 30, 2000)
Revenue for the third quarter of 2000 was $1,495,000, an increase of 67% from
$895,000 for the same period a year ago, while revenue for the nine-month period
ended September 30, 2000 was $4,123,000, an increase of 30% from $3,182,000 a
year ago. The increase in revenue from product sales for these periods was due
primarily to more sales of Autoscope(R) systems by the Company's Asian
subsidiary, Flow Traffic Limited. Unit sales increased 64% for the third quarter
and have increased 53% for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2000,
compared to the same periods a year ago. Revenue from direct sales and from
royalties for the third quarter of 2000 increased 236% and decreased 11%,
respectively, compared to the third quarter of 1999. Revenue from direct sales
and from royalties for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2000 increased
97% and decreased 2%, respectively, compared to a year ago.
Gross profit was $847,000 in the third quarter of 2000, or 57% of revenue,
compared to $661,000, or 74% of revenue, for the same period a year ago. Gross
profit for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2000 was $2,686,000, or 65%
of revenue, compared to $2,371,000, or 75% of revenue, for the same period a
year ago. Margins decreased primarily due to a greater portion of revenues
coming from product sales versus royalties, the former having a lower gross
profit margin.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $973,000 and $2,894,000,
respectively, for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2000,
compared to $751,000 and $2,117,000, respectively, for the same periods a year
ago. The increases were due primarily to added efforts in business development,
amortization of software development costs which began in October 1999, expenses
related to our stock dividend paid May 1, 2000, and expenses related to the
registration of shares issued opon the exercise of warrants.
Research and development expenses were none, for the three- and nine-month
periods ended September 30, 2000, compared to $53,000 and $422,000, respectively
for the same periods a year ago. The decrease is due to the fact that
development efforts in the first three quarters of 2000 were directed toward
software development for the new Autoscope Solo Release 3, a new comserver and
the next-generation Autoscope Solo product with associated costs capitalized in
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86.
Loss from operations was $126,000 and $208,000, respectively, for the three- and
nine-month periods ended September 30, 2000, compared to $143,000 and $168,000
for the same periods a year ago. The decrease in operating losses for the third
quarter was due primarily
8
<PAGE>
to the 67% increase in revenues, which was offset somewhat by increased selling,
general and administration expenses. The increase in operating loss for the
nine-month period is primarily due to the increased selling, general and
administrative expenses discussed above.
Other income, net, was $35,000 and $96,000, respectively, for the three- and
nine-month periods ended September 30, 2000, compared to $17,000 and $57,000,
respectively, for the same periods a year ago. The increase resulted primarily
from rental income related to the Cam-Van.
Liquidity and Capital Resources:
Cash provided by operating activities was $564,000 for the nine-month period
ended September 30, 2000, compared to $254,000 for the same period in 1999. The
increase cash flow from operations in the nine-month period ended September 30,
2000 was primarily due to collection on accounts receivable from Flow Traffic
Limited.
Capital expenditures were $175,000 for the nine-month period ended September 30,
2000, which is an increase compared to the same period in 1999. The increase is
primarily due to purchasing demonstration equipment from Wireless Technology,
setting up an office in Thailand and tooling and fixtures related to the
production of the new Solo product release. The Company does not expect to make
significant changes to the level of investments in capital expenditures for the
balance of 2000. The Company is incurring software development costs that have
been capitalized. As as of September 30, 2000 $434,000 has been capitalized,
versus $121,000 of such costs that were incurred in the nine-month period ended
September 30 1999.
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.
