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

cautions and risk factors set forth in Exhibit 99, under the caption "Cautionary
Statement," to this Quarterly Report.

              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)
                               September 30, 1999

Note A:  Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles 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 nine-month periods ended September 30, 1999 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending
December 31, 1999. For further information, refer to the financial statements
and footnotes thereto for the year ended December 31, 1998.


Note B: Restatement

The company has restated its financial statements for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 1999 to reflect the capitalizing of software development
costs. The capitalization of these costs is consistent with 1998 and with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86.

The company's research and development expense was restated from $174,000 to
$53,000 in the third quarter and year to date from $563,000 to $422,000. The
company's net loss for the third quarter was restated from $247,000 or $.10 per
share to $126,000 or $.05 per share. The year to date loss was restated from
$232,000 or $.09 per share to $111,000 or $.05 per share.

Item 2.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

            (Three- and Nine-month Periods Ended September 30, 1999)


Revenue for the third quarter of 1999 was $895,000, an increase of 32% from
$677,000 for the same period a year ago, while revenue for the nine-month period
ended September 30, 1999 was $3,182,000, an increase of 43% from $2,224,000 a
year ago. The increase in revenue from product sales and royalties for these
periods was due primarily to more sales of Autoscope(R) systems by both Image
Sensing Systems, Inc. (ISS) and its North American distributor, Econolite
Control Products, Inc. (Econolite). Unit sales by ISS and Econolite increased
88% for the third quarter and have increased 63% for the nine-month period ended
September 30, 1999, compared to the same periods a year ago. Revenue from direct
sales and royalties for the third quarter of 1999 increased 21% and 77%,
respectively, compared to the third quarter of 1998. Revenue from direct sales
and royalties for the nine-month period ended September 30, 1999 increased 42%
and 52%, respectively, compared to a year ago.

Gross profit was $661,000 in the third quarter of 1999, or 74% of revenue,
compared to $516,000, or 76% of revenue, for the same period a year ago. Gross
profit for the nine-month period ended September 30, 1999 was $2,371,000, or 75%
of revenue, compared to $1,666,000, or 75% of revenue, for the same period a
year ago.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $751,000 and $2,117,000,
respectively, for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1999,
compared to $522,000 and $1,680,000, respectively, for the same periods a year
ago. The increases were due primarily to added efforts in business development
and amortization of software development costs which began in October 1998.

Research and development expenses as restated were $53,000 and $422,000,
respectively, for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1999,
compared to none for the same periods a year ago. The reduction in research and
development expenses reported earlier, reflect capitalized costs associated with
new products for the Autoscope Solo(TM) program. This is being done to be
consistent with Accounting Standards No. 86. The net increase from 1998 to 1999
resulted because all development efforts in the first nine months of 1998 were
directed toward software development for the new Autoscope Solo product with
associated costs capitalized in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 86.

Loss from operations as restated was $143,000 and $168,000, respectively, for
the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1999, compared to $6,000
and $14,000 for the same periods a year ago. The increase in operating losses
was due primarily to



                                       8
<PAGE>

research and development costs incurred in 1999 compared to 1998 and an increase
in business development expense in 1999.

Other income, net, was $17,000 and $57,000, respectively, for the three- and
nine-month periods ended September 30, 1999, compared to $23,000 and $78,000,
respectively, for the same periods a year ago. The decrease resulted primarily
from holding less cash in interest bearing cash equivalents during the first
nine months of 1999.

The Company does not expect to receive any current income tax benefit from
losses incurred in 1999.

Liquidity and Capital Resources:
- -------------------------------

Cash provided by operating activities was $254,000 for the nine-month period
ended September 30, 1999, compared to $313,000 for the same period in 1998. The
reduced cash flow from operations in the nine-month period ended September 30,
1999 was primarily due to an unusually large collection on accounts receivable
in 1998 compared to 1999.

Capital expenditures were $78,000 for the nine-month period ended September 30,
1999, which is comparable to 1998. The Company does not expect to make
significant changes to the level of investments in capital expenditures for the
balance of 1999. The Company is incurring software development costs that have
been capitalized. As restated as of September 30, 1999 $121,000 has been
capitalized, versus $825,000 in such costs that were incurred in the nine-month
period ended September 30 1998.

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.

Impact of the Year 2000 Issue
- -----------------------------

The Year 2000 Issue is the result of computer programs being written using two
digits rather than four to define the applicable year. Some computer programs
that have date-sensitive software may recognize a date using "00" as the year
1900 rather than the year 2000. All of the software produced by the Company has
been analyzed and the Company is not aware of any potential for date recognition
problems in its products. However, the Company also uses off-the-shelf software
produced by third parties for use in administrative functions such as word
processing, network administration, voice mail messaging, billing and record
keeping. In the event, that any of such programs are susceptible to date
recognition problems, this could result in a system failure or miscalculations
causing disruption of operations, including, among other things, intra-



                                       9

company communications, preparation of invoices and collection of accounts
receivables, and many other normal business activities.

The Company has made every attempt to identify all relevant software that may
affect the Company's operations through surveys and examination. Based on risk
assessments that have been completed for the majority of the Company's
operations, the Company converted the majority of its business operations to new
Year 2000 compatible software by a combination of conversion to new software and
upgrading existing software. The cost of these conversions to date has not been
material. However, there can be no guarantee that a failure to convert by
another company, or a conversion that is incompatible with the Company's
systems, would not have a material adverse effect on the Company.
