Business Summary:

The Company designs, develops and manufactures automated parking enforcement systems primarily for lease to municipalities, universities and institutions, including a ticket writing system and other enforcement systems.

The Company has installed numerous parking enforcement systems for various clients, towns and universities. The Company also has installed numerous systems through joint venture relationships.

To augment the enforcement element of the system, the Company markets the original Denver Boot and other enforcement tools. By utilizing an integrated approach, the Company offers a complete parking citation processing system including tracking, enforcement, collection and automatic identification of delinquent violators in an effective and efficient manner.

The Company also provides hardware and software for special projects for Hertz Corporation including a project called Fleet Control. Fleet Control was developed in 1987 as an internal security system used by Hertz to track the transfer of cars between locations.

The Company's parking enforcement system is an automated system which generates parking citations. The system consists of a hand-held, light-weight, portable data entry terminal, a light-weight printer to generate the parking citation and a data collection computer system to store parking citation data at the end of each day. The data entry terminal includes features such as large keys for use with gloved hands, easily readable liquid crystal display, phosphorescent keypad for illuminated night use and a large memory. The printer contains a "no-wait" buffer which acts to eliminate delay in entering citation data. The printer has been streamlined and along with the hand-held terminal weighs only three and one-half pounds and is battery charged to last for at least eight hours with overnight recharging capability. The citations are printed on a continuous fan fold flat form. The data collection computer is used for uploading and downloading data and contains the capacity for interfacing directly, or data transfer to a user's mainframe computer. There are currently pproximately 1500 ticket-writing units in operation.

The Company's system also includes a complete back office processing and filing system. The Company provides computers, printers and software to enable the user to do department of motor vehicle lookups, maintain citation information storage and recall, generate delinquent notices and have immediate access to files of all tickets previously written. In addition, the Company's system also maintains a current, readily accessible list of vehicles with multiple outstanding citations, stolen vehicles, or vehicles otherwise wanted by local law enforcement officials. The system also generates reports of citations by number and officer, revenues collected, names of scofflaws, officer productivity and other reports as deemed necessary or valuable to the agency.

The Company's contracts for its parking enforcement systems generally provide that the Company will provide the ticketwriters, a back office processing system, custom software and training and support in consideration of a fee per citation issued, a monthly fee for computer equipment rental and/or a set monthly fee. Occasionally, the Company will provide its system through an outright sale rather than through its typical lease arrangement.

The Company generally warrants its equipment, provides updating and improvements to its system hardware and software and provides customary indemnification. The Company also contract's its systems under a privatization program whereby the Company provides a complete facilities management program for the client. The operation includes personnel to operate the system, issue tickets, and take care of enforcement tasks, along with the collection of ticket revenues, backlog ticket collections and other related duties. These programs are offered under a revenue guarantee or revenue split contract.

The Company currently has systems installed in municipalities and universities representing approximately 7,000,000 tickets issued per year.
