                         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, as
amended, 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
revenues 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 Six-Month Periods Ended June 30, 2000)


Revenues for the second quarter of 2000 were $1,533,000, an increase of 36% from
$1,131,000 for the same period a year ago, while revenues for the first half of
1999 were $2,628,000, an increase of 15% from $2,287,000 a year ago. The
increase in revenues from product sales and royalties for these periods was due
primarily to more sales of Autoscope(R) systems by both Econolite Control
Products, Inc. (Econolite), the Company's North American distributors and Flow
Traffic Limited, Asian subsidiary. Unit sales by the Company and Econolite
increased 60% for the second quarter and 49% for the first half of 2000,
compared to the same periods a year ago. Revenue from direct sales and royalties
for the second quarter of 2000 increased 90% and 4%, respectively, compared to
the second quarter of 1999. Revenue from direct sales and royalties for the
first half of 2000 increased 49% and 2%, respectively, compared to the first
half of 1999.

Gross profit was $999,000 in the second quarter of 2000, or 65% of revenue,
compared to $818,000, or 72% of revenue, for the same period a year ago. Gross
profit for the first half of 1999 was $1,839,000, or 70% of revenue, compared to
$1,710,000, or 75% of revenue, for the same period a year ago. The lower margin
in the second quarter and first half was due primarily to deriving
proportionately more revenue from direct sales than from royalties, the former
having a lower gross profit margin.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $1,020,000 and $1,921,000,
respectively, for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2000, compared
to $702,000 and $1,366,000, respectively, for the same periods a year ago. The
increases were due primarily to added efforts in business development, the
amortization of software development costs, which began in October 1998, and
costs related to our stock dividend paid May 1, 2000.

Research and development expenses were none for the three- and six-month periods
ended June 30, 2000, compared to $180,000 and $369,000 for the same periods a
year ago. The decrease is do to the fact all development efforts in the first
half of 2000 were directed toward software development for the new Autoscope
Solo Release 3, a new comserver and the next-generation Autoscope Solo - II,
with associated costs capitalized in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 86.

Loss from operations was $21,000 and $82,000, respectively, for the three- and
six-month periods ended June 30, 2000, compared to loss from operations of
$64,000 and $25,000 the same periods a year ago. The increase in earnings from
operations for the second quarter of 2000 is due primarily to capitalizing
research and development costs



                                       8
<PAGE>

incured in 2000 compared to 1999. Earnings from operations for the first half of
2000 have decreased primarily due to increases in business development
expenditures and the amortization of software development costs.

Other income, net, was $32,000 and $61,000, respectively, for the three- and
six-month periods ended June 30, 2000, compared to $24,000 and $40,000,
respectively, for the same periods a year ago. The increase is due primarily to
increased rental income generated from the Cam-Van.

The Company expects to avail itself of operating loss and research and
development tax credit carryforwards and incur no income tax expense in 2000.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash provided by operating activities was $21,000 for the six-month period ended
June 30, 2000, compared to $289,000 for the same period in 1999. The reduced
cash flow from operations in the first half of 2000 was primarily due to
increases in both accounts receivable and inventory for the first half of 2000
compared to 1999, related to international orders and sales.

Capital expenditures were $78,000 for the first half of 2000, compared to
$45,000 for the same period in 1999. The Company does not expect to make
significant changes to the level of investments in capital expenditures for the
balance of 2000. The Company did incur software development costs of $306,000
that have been capitalized, whereas no such costs were incurred in the first
half of 1999.

Management believes that the Company's 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.


Recent Developments

Image Sensing Systems, Inc. (ISS) has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding
(MOU) with Wireless Technology, Inc. (WTI), a Nevada Corporation doing business
at 2064 Eastman Ave., Suite 113, Ventura, California 93003, o n July 20, 2000.

The respective companies have agreed to use the terms of the MOU to enter into a
definitive agreement wherein ISS will provide marketing and sales expertise for
the distribution of WTI products and technology internationally and domestically
and WTI will design and manufacture other technology as mutually agreed.
