BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared 
pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange 
Commission ("SEC"). The unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect 
all adjustments, which are normal and recurring in nature, and which in the 
opinion of management are necessary to a fair statement of the financial 
position and results of operations as of December 31, 1998 and for the 
three-month and nine-month periods ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, 
respectively. The results of operations for the three-month and nine-month 
periods ended December 31, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results 
of operations for the entire fiscal year ending March 31, 1999. These 
consolidated financial statements and related footnotes should be read in 
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related footnotes 
presented in the Company's 10-K.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

REVENUE RECOGNITION - In October 1997, the AICPA issued SOP 97-2, "Software 
Revenue Recognition" which later in part was amended by SOP 98-4, "Deferral 
of the Effective Date of a Provision of SOP 97-2". These statements supersede 
SOP 91-1 under which the Company has previously been recognizing revenue. The 
Company adopted SOP 97-2 for transactions entered into beginning April 1, 
1998.

Pursuant to SOP 97-2, the Company recognizes revenue on contracts which do 
not require significant modification or customization of software when all of 
the following conditions are met: a signed contract is obtained, delivery has 
occurred, the fee is fixed and determinable, collectibility is probable, and 
any uncertainties with regard to customer acceptance are insignificant. A 
majority of the Company's contracts include a combination of the following 
elements: hardware, software, license fees, installation, program 
modifications, file conversion, training, and customer support. For such 
contracts, revenue must be allocated to each component based on vendor 
specific objective evidence of the components fair value. Revenue allocated 
to undelivered products is recognized as the above criteria are met; revenue 
for services is recognized as services are performed or, for maintenance 
agreements, ratably over the life of the related contract. Cash payments for 
systems sales or maintenance received in advance of revenue recognition are 
accounted for as deferred revenue. For those contracts which have been 
considered long-term contracts due to a significant amount of customization, 
the Company recognizes revenue on a percentage of completion basis.

COMPREHENSIVE INCOME - Effective April 1, 1998, the Company has adopted SFAS 
No. 130, REPORTING COMPREHENSIVE Income. This statement establishes standards 
for the reporting of comprehensive income and its components. Comprehensive 
income, as defined, includes all changes in equity (net assets) during a 
period from nonowner sources. For the three-month and nine-month periods 
ended December 31, 1998, the difference between net income, as reported, and 
comprehensive income was not significant.

During the third quarter of fiscal 1999, the Company repaid the outstanding
principal balance on its $4.0 million term loan and extended its revolving
credit facility to January 4, 2000. The revolving line of credit agreement
contains certain restrictive covenants, which restrict the Company's ability to
pay dividends and requires the Company to maintain minimum tangible net worth
and certain other financial ratios. The Company was in compliance with these
covenants as amended.

5.  NET INCOME AND NET INCOME PER SHARE

SFAS No. 128 requires dual presentation of "basic" and "diluted" earnings per
share, thus replacing "primary" and "fully diluted" earnings per share required
under APB No. 15. Basic EPS excludes common stock equivalents and is computed by
dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the inclusion of common stock equivalents
and their potential dilution. Diluted EPS is similar to fully diluted EPS;
however, it uses the average stock price during the period as part of the
computation. Common stock equivalents are excluded from the EPS calculation for
the nine-months ended December 31, 1997 because their effect would be
anti-dilutive.

The number of shares used in computing EPS is as follows for the three-month
period ended December 31:

6. RESTRUCTURING CHARGES

In fiscal 1998, the Company announced a formal plan for restructuring both 
its SunRise and TFP subsidiaries to realize cost savings and capitalize on 
synergies by consolidating the subsidiaries into the Company's Anaheim 
operations. The restructuring charges include lease termination and facility 
closure costs, losses on the disposition of fixed assets and severance costs 
for terminated employees. During the second quarter of fiscal 1998, the 
Company substantially completed the restructuring activities, with the 
exception of subleasing its Fremont, California facility, and actual costs 
have not differed significantly from amounts previously accrued. 
Approximately $155,000 of accrued restructuring costs are included in accrued 
liabilities as of December 31, 1998, which principally relate to future lease 
commitments and unpaid severance.

7. PROVISION (BENEFIT) FOR INCOME TAXES

The Company evaluates a variety of factors in determining the amount of 
deferred income tax assets to be recognized pursuant to SFAS 109, "Accounting 
for Income Taxes". As a result of numerous factors, including, but not 
limited to the Company's earnings history, existing contracts, sales backlog, 
the existence of taxable temporary differences, and near-term earnings 
expectations, the Company believes that its net deferred tax asset is more 
likely than not to be realized, and in the third quarter of 1999, released 
its deferred tax valuation allowance totaling $6.155 million. Although 
realization of the deferred tax assets is not assured, the Company believes 
that it is more likely than not that all of the deferred tax assets will be 
realized.

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

INTRODUCTORY NOTE

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains certain 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 and the Company 
intends that such forward-looking statements be subject to the safe harbors 
created thereby. Words such as "anticipates", "expects", "intends", "plans", 
"believes", "seeks", "estimates", variations of such words and similar 
expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements, which 
include (i) the existence and development of the Company's technical and 
manufacturing capabilities, (ii) anticipated competition, (iii) potential 
future growth in revenues and income, (iv) potential future decreases in 
costs, and (v) the need for, and availability of, additional financing.

The forward-looking statements included herein are based on current 
expectations that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. These 
forward-looking statements are based on assumptions that the Company's 
markets will continue to grow, that the Company's products will remain 
accepted within their respective markets and will not be replaced by new 
technology, that competitive conditions within the Company's markets will not 
change materially or adversely, that the Company will retain key technical 
and management personnel, that the Company's forecasts will accurately 
anticipate market demand, and that there will be no material adverse change 
in the Company's operations or business. Assumptions relating to the 
foregoing involve judgments with respect to, among other things, future 
economic, competitive and market conditions, and future business decisions, 
all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of 
which are beyond the control of the Company. In light of the significant 
uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking information included herein, 
the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation 
by the Company or any other person that the objectives or plans of the 
Company will be achieved.

The following is management's discussion and analysis of certain significant 
factors which have affected the earnings and financial position of the 
Company during the period included in the accompanying financial statements. 
This discussion compares the three-month period ended December 31, 1998 with 
the three-month period ended December 31, 1997, as well as the nine-month 
period ended December 31, 1998 with the nine-month period ended December 31,

statements and associated notes.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE-MONTH PERIOD ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998 COMPARED TO THE THREE-MONTH PERIOD 
ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997

TOTAL REVENUES

The Company's total revenues are comprised of system revenues, which include 
products, file conversion, data mapping services and system installations, 
and maintenance revenues related to hardware and software support.

Total revenues of $23.7 million for the three-month period ended December 31, 
1998 decreased slightly from $23.8 million for the three-month period ended 
December 31, 1997. The Company's AFIS product line contributed $15.1 million 
to total revenues for the three-month period ended December 31, 1998 compared 
to $14.8 million for the same period in the previous year. This increase was 
partially offset by a decrease in revenue from the Mugshot product line. The 
Company's Mugshot product line contributed $1.5 million to total revenues for 
the three-month period ended December 31, 1998, a decrease of $1.4 million, 
or 49.0%, from $2.9 million in total revenues for the same period in the 
previous year. Management believes this reduction is primarily attributable 
to the Company transitioning its sales efforts from smaller scale to larger 
scale contracts.

System revenues of $19.3 million for the three-month period ended December 
31, 1998 decreased $1.0 million, or 4.9%, from $20.3 million for the 
three-month period ended December 31, 1997. This decrease is primarily 
attributable to lower revenues from the Company's Mugshot and CAD/RMS product 
lines.

Maintenance revenues of $4.4 million for the three-month period ended 
December 31, 1998 increased $0.9 million, or 27.8%, from $3.5 million for the 
three-month period ended December 31, 1997. This increase is primarily 
attributable to an overall expansion of the customer base over the prior year.

GROSS PROFIT

Cost of revenues primarily consist of purchased materials procured for use in 
the assembly of the Company's products, manufacturing or assembly labor and 
overhead, file conversion costs and data mapping costs, as well as 
maintenance expenses and estimated costs to complete system installations.

Overall gross profit of $9.0 million for the three-month period ended 
December 31, 1998 decreased $1.1 million from $10.1 million for the 
three-month period ended December 31, 1997. Overall gross margin was 38.2% 
for the three-month period ended December 31, 1998, down from 42.6% for the 
three-month period ended December 31, 1997. The gross profit for system 
revenues of $7.3 million for the three-month period ended December 31, 1998 
decreased $2.0 million from $9.3 million, which includes $632,000 of 
restructuring reserve costs, for the three-month period ended December 31, 
1997. System gross margin also decreased to 37.9% for the three-month period 
ended December 31, 1998 from 45.7% for the three-month period ended December 
31, 1997. Maintenance gross profit of $1.7 million for the three-month period 
ended December 31, 1998 increased $0.9 million from $.8 million for the 
three-month period ended December 31, 1997. Gross margin related to 
maintenance revenue increased to 39.4% for the three-month period ended 
December 31, 1998 from 24.3% for the three-month period ended December 31, 
1997.


                                      11
<PAGE>

The decrease in system gross margin reflects an additional provision of $2 
million to accrue for additional costs related to larger contracts. The 
decrease in system gross margin reflects the increased allocation of 
resources to contract specific tasks, primarily due to increased 
customization for certain contracts. The increase in the Company's 
maintenance gross margin is partially due to renegotiations of several low 
margin contracts the Company inherited from its TFP and Boulder acquisitions.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses consist primarily of 
compensation paid to sales, marketing, and administrative personnel, payments 
to consultants, professional service fees, travel and related expenses, and 
other marketing expenses.

For the three-month period ended December 31, 1998, SG&A expenses decreased 
to $5.8 million from $6.2 million for the three-month period ended December 
31, 1997. SG&A expenses, as a percentage of revenues, decreased to 24.4% for 
the three-month period ended December 31, 1998 from 26.0% for the three-month 
period ended December 31, 1997. The decrease primarily reflects cost savings 
resulting from cost synergies associated with the SunRise and TFP 
integrations into Anaheim.

RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT AND ENGINEERING

Research, development and engineering expenses (RD&E) are comprised primarily 
of compensation paid to personnel engaged in research, development and 
engineering activities, amounts paid for outside services and the cost of 
materials used in the development of hardware and software products.

RD&E expenses of $.6 million for the three-month period ended December 31, 
1998, decreased 78.7% from $3.0 million for the three-month period ended 
December 31, 1997. RD&E expenses, as a percentage of revenues, decreased to 
2.7% for the three-month period ended December 31, 1998 from 12.7% for the 
three-month period ended December 31, 1997. The decrease in RD&E expenses is 
primarily attributable to the diversion of a large portion of the Company's R 
& D effort to the performance of new contracts. The Company expects the RD&E 
expense to increase next quarter.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

Income tax benefit for the three-month period ended December 31, 1998 equaled 
$5.9 million compared to an income tax provision of $43,000 for the 
three-month period ended December 31, 1997. The current quarter benefit 
reflects the reversal of the valuation allowance against the Company's net 
deferred tax asset.

The Company evaluates a variety of factors in determining the amount of 
deferred income tax assets to be recognized pursuant to SFAS 109, "Accounting 
for Income Taxes". As a result of numerous factors, including, but not 
limited to the Company's earnings history, existing contracts, sales backlog, 
the existence of taxable temporary differences, and near-term earnings 
expectations, the Company believes that its net deferred tax asset is more 
likely than not to be realized, and in the third quarter of 1999, released 
its deferred tax valuation allowance totaling $6.155 million. Although 
realization of the deferred tax assets is not assured, the Company believes 
that it is more likely than not that all of the deferred tax assets will be 
realized.

NINE-MONTH PERIOD ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998 COMPARED TO THE NINE-MONTH PERIOD 
ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997

TOTAL REVENUES

Total revenues of $60.4 million for the nine-month period ended December 31, 
1998, increased $2.1 million, or 3.5, from $58.3 million for the nine-month 
period ended December 31, 1997. This increase was primarily attributable to 
the Company's acquisitions during fiscal year 1998. For the first nine months 
of fiscal year 1999, the Company's acquired Boulder and SunRise divisions 
together contributed an incremental $8.2 million to the increase in total 
revenues. Offsetting this increase in revenue is a decline in the Company's 
AFIS product line system revenue of $4.5 million primarily due to the timing 
of completion of contract elements which drive revenue recognition. System 
revenues for the mugshot product line decreased $4.1 million primarily 
attributable to the Company transitioning its sales efforts from smaller 
scale to larger scale contracts.

Maintenance revenue of $11.9 million for the nine-month period ended December 
31, 1998, increased $2.2 million, or 22.7%, from $9.7 million for the 
nine-month period ended December 31, 1997. The increase is primarily 
attributable to an overall expansion of the customer base over the prior year.

GROSS PROFIT

Overall gross profit of $24.8 million for the nine-month period ended 
December 31, 1998 decreased 2.2% from $25.4 million for nine-month period 
ended December 31, 1997. Gross margin was 41.2% for the nine-month period 
ended December 31, 1998, down from 43.6% for the nine-month period ended 
December 31, 1997. Gross profit for system revenues decreased to $21.3 
million for the nine-month period ended December 31, 1998 from $22.2 million 
for the nine-month period ended December 31, 1997. System gross margin 
decreased to 43.9% for the nine-month period ended December 31, 1998 from 
45.6% from the nine-month period ended December 31, 1997. Overall maintenance 
gross profit of $3.6 million for the nine-month period ended December 31, 
1998 increased $.3 million from $3.2 million for the nine-month period ended 
December 31, 1997. Gross margin related to maintenance revenues decreased to 
30.0% for the nine-month period ended December 31, 1997 compared to 33.3% for 
the nine-month period ended December 31, 1997.

The decrease in system margin is primarily attributable to increased 
allocation of RD&E expenses to contract specific tasks, primarily due to 
increased customization for certain contracts. The decrease in the Company's 
maintenance margin is due in part to the duplicative resource costs incurred 
between AFIS and TFP during the transition of TFP into Anaheim operations, as 
well as the result of several low margin maintenance contracts the Company's 
Boulder division inherited through acquisition.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE

SG&A expenses of $15.7 million for the nine-month period ended December 31, 
1998, increased 1.8% from $15.4 million for the nine-month period ended 
December 31, 1997. SG&A expenses, as a percentage of revenues, decreased 
slightly to 26.1% for the nine-month period ended December 31, 1998 from 
26.5% for the nine-month period ended December 31, 1997. The $.3 million 
increase reflects additional costs related to the Company's Boulder and 
SunRise divisions acquired in fiscal 1998.


                                      13
<PAGE>

RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT AND ENGINEERING

RD&E expenses of $4.5 million for the nine-month period ended December 31, 
1998 decreased 44.4% from expenses of $8.1 million for the nine-month period 
ended December 31, 1997. RD&E expenses, as a percentage of revenues, 
decreased to 7.4% for the nine-month period ended December 31, 1998, down 
from 13.9% for the nine-month period ended December 31, 1997. This $3.6 
million decrease is primarily the result of increased allocation of resources 
to contract specific tasks, primarily due to increased customization for 
certain contracts, which are classified as cost of revenues, as well as a 
reduction in contract labor. The Company is actively recruiting to backfill 
the open RD&E positions.

OTHER (EXPENSE) INCOME

Other expense for the nine-month period ended December 31, 1998 equaled 
$370,000 in comparison to other income of $103,000 for the nine-month period 
ended December 31, 1997. Other expense for the nine-month period ended 
December 31, 1998 reflects a decrease of approximately $300,000 in interest 
income due to the liquidation of certain Company investments, as well as 
additional interest expense on borrowings under the Company's line of credit.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

Income tax benefit for the nine-month period ended December 31, 1998 equaled 
$5.3 million compared to expense of $159,000 for the nine-month period ended 
December 31, 1997. The Company's current year tax benefit reflects the 
reversal of the valuation allowance against the Company's net deferred tax 
asset.

The Company evaluates a variety of factors in determining the amount of 
deferred income tax assets to be recognized pursuant to SFAS 109, "Accounting 
for Income Taxes". As a result of numerous factors, including, but not 
limited to the Company's earnings history, existing contracts, sales backlog, 
the existence of taxable temporary differences, and near-term earnings 
expectations, the Company believes that its net deferred tax asset is more 
likely than not to be realized, and in the third quarter of 1999, released 
its deferred tax valuation allowance totaling $6.155 million. Although 
realization of the deferred tax assets is not assured, the Company believes 
that it is more likely than not that all of the deferred tax assets will be 
realized.

BACKLOG

The Company measures its backlog of system revenues as orders for which 
contracts or purchase orders have been signed, but for which revenues have 
not been recognized. In those instances where revenue is recognized on a 
percentage of completion basis, the Company includes in backlog contract 
revenue not recognized at the period end. As of December 31, 1998, the 
Company's system revenue backlog approximated $95 million, compared to $36 
million as of September 30, 1998 and $31 million on December 31, 1997. In 
addition, the Company's maintenance revenue backlog approximated $16 million 
as of December 31, 1998. The increase in system revenue backlog reflects the 
Company's $46 million contract with Siemens Argentina entered into in October 
1998. The six year contract is to provide automated fingerprint technology to 
the Argentina government as part of their national ID program.

Orders comprising the Company's system backlog may include requirements for 
custom software development or file conversion that may require extensive 
resources to be completed prior to shipment. Any failure of the Company to 
meet an agreed upon schedule could lead to the cancellation of the related 


                                      14
<PAGE>

order. The Company believes that it is important for competitive reasons and 
to better satisfy customer requirements to reduce order lead times. 
Additionally, variations in the size, complexity and delivery requirements of 
customer orders may result in substantial fluctuations in backlog on a 
regular basis. Accordingly, the Company believes that backlog may not be a 
meaningful indicator of future financial performance.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments declined from $4.9 million 
at March 31, 1998 to $1.6 million at December 31, 1998 as a result of 
paydowns on the Company's line of credit as well as the liquidation of short 
term investments. Prepaid expenses and other current assets declined $.8 
million during the period as a result of the reduction of a current non-trade 
receivable.

The increase in deferred income taxes reflects the tax benefit to be realized 
from anticipated future earnings.

During the first quarter, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and 
President, Richard M. Giles, repaid a $500,000 note associated with the sale 
of the building from the Company to a limited liability partnership 
controlled by Mr. Giles. As a result, the notes receivable from related 
parties declined from $558,000 to $70,000.

The decrease in the net balance of property, plant and equipment of $1.4 
million from $5.1 million at March 31, 1998 to $3.7 million at December 31, 
1998 reflects capital expenditures of approximately $1.1 million, capital 
deletions of approximately $.4 million and depreciation expense of $2.1 
million.

The decrease in accounts payable primarily reflects lower purchases of 
inventory as of the end of the current quarter as well as the timing of 
quarter end disbursements.

The decrease in accrued wages and employee benefits is primarily the result 
of the number of days of accrued payroll at March 31, 1998 versus December 
31, 1998.

The decline in long-term debt is a result of reduced borrowing levels on the 
Company's revolving line of credit as the Company is better able to meet 
liquidity needs through funds generated by operations, and also due to the 
absence of acquisitions in the current fiscal year.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company finances its operations through the cash provided by its 
operations and the utilization of its revolving credit line. The Company's 
operating activities provided cash of approximately $7.8 million for the 
nine-months ended December 31, 1998 primarily through net earnings before 
deferred tax adjustment and non-cash depreciation and amortization. The 
Company's operating activities provided cash of $2.7 million for the 
nine-months ended December 31, 1997.

The Company's investing activities provided net cash of $.5 million for the 
period ended December 31, 1998 due primarily to the repayment of the $.5 
million note receivable from RICOL, LLC and proceeds of $1.1 million on the 
liquidation of the Company's short-term investments, offset by capital 
expenditures 

                                      15
<PAGE>

of $1.1 million. For the period ended December 31, 1997, the Company's 
investing activities used cash of approximately $9.2 million due primarily to 
cash used to acquire the Boulder division and SunRise Imaging for $9.6 
million and capital expenditures of $2.6 million, offset, in part, by the 
sale of short-term investments which yielded approximately $3.0 million.

Financing activities used cash of $10.6 million during the nine-month period 
ended December 31, 1998 as a result of the paydown on the Company's revolving 
credit line. During the nine-month period ended December 31, 1997, financing 
activities provided approximately $4.1 million, $3.3 million of which 
reflects proceeds from long-term debt.

During the third quarter of fiscal 1999 the Company repaid the outstanding 
principal balance on its $4.0 million term loan and extended its $15.0 
million revolving credit facility to January 4, 2000. The revolving line of 
credit agreement contains certain restrictive covenants, which restrict the 
Company's ability to pay dividends and requires the Company to maintain 
minimum tangible net worth and certain other financial ratios. The Company 
was in compliance with these covenants as amended.

The Company believes that the cash generated from operations, as well as the 
use of the revolving credit line will provide sufficient resources to fund 
the Company through at least the end of fiscal year 1999.

YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

Many currently installed information technology ("IT") systems, such as 
computer systems and software products, as well as non-IT systems that 
include embedded technology, are coded to accept only two digit entries in 
the date code field, and thus, were not designed to correctly process dates 
after December 31, 1999. These date code fields will need to accept four 
digit entries, or be modified in some fashion, to distinguish 21st century 
dates from 20th century dates. As a result, in less than nine months, 
computer systems and software used by many companies may need to be upgraded 
or are being upgraded to comply with such "Year 2000" requirements.

The Company has assessed the impact of such "Year 2000" issues on its 
products, its internal IT and non-IT systems, as well as on its customers, 
suppliers and service providers. The Company has determined that certain of 
its internal IT and non-IT systems are not Year 2000 compliant and is 
currently in the process of purchasing upgrades or transitioning to systems 
which the Company's vendors have represented as being Year 2000 compliant. 
The Company believes that with modifications and conversions, the Year 2000 
issue can be managed and the associated risks mitigated. The Company 
anticipates that its internal systems will be Year 2000 compliant by June 30, 
1999. With regard to the Company's products, the Company believes that the 
current versions of all products are Year 2000 compliant. However, certain 
older product versions are not Year 2000 compliant. The Company has notified 
its customers of potential Year 2000 compliance problems and has offered such 
customers the opportunity to purchase upgrades.

The Company is unable to control whether its suppliers and service providers 
will be Year 2000 compliant. However, the Company has initiated 
communications with its significant vendors to determine the extent to which 
the Company's operations may be vulnerable to such parties' failure to 
resolve their own Year 2000 issues. The Company's operations may be affected 
to the extent that its vendors are unable to provide services or ship 
products. Where practicable, the Company will assess and attempt to mitigate 
its risks with respect to failure of those entities to be Year 2000 ready. 
The Company has not received responses from all of its significant vendors, 
and thus, the effect, if any, on the Company's results of operations from the 
failure of such parties to be Year 2000 ready cannot be estimated. The 

                                      16
<PAGE>


inability of these third parties to remediate their Year 2000 problems could 
have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Although the Company expects its internal systems to be Year 2000 compliant 
as described above, the Company has prepared a contingency plan that 
specifies what it plans to do if it or its significant vendors are not Year 
2000 compliant in a timely manner. Even if these plans are put in place, 
there can be no assurance that such plans will be sufficient to address any 
third party failures or that unresolved or undetected internal and external 
Year 2000 issues will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's 
business, financial condition and results of operations.

While it is difficult to quantify the total cost to the Company of the Year 
2000 compliance activities, the Company's best estimate of expenditures to 
date is between $200,000 - $300,000. The total remaining cost is estimated to 
be approximately $250,000. The Company is expensing as incurred all costs 
related to the assessment and remediation of the Year 2000 issue. These costs 
are being funded through operating cash flows. Notwithstanding the foregoing, 
there can be no assurances (a) that the representations provided by its third 
party vendors with respect to Year 2000 compliance will be accurate, or (b) 
that the Company will have any recourse against such vendors if the 
representations prove to be inaccurate. Furthermore, there can be no 
assurances that Year 2000-related failure caused by third parties, such as 
utility providers, transportation companies or others, will not have a 
material adverse effect on the Company. There can be no guarantee that Year 
2000 issues will not have a material impact on the Company's business, 
operating results and financial condition.

Any stockholder desiring to submit a proposal for action at the 1999 Annual 
Meeting of Stockholders and presentation in the Company's proxy statement 
with respect to such meeting should arrange for such proposal to be delivered 
to the Company's offices, Attn: Secretary, Printrak International Inc., 1250 
N. Tustin Avenue, Anaheim, California 92807, no later than April 15, 1999 in 
order to be considered for inclusion in the Company's proxy statement 
relating to the meeting. Matters pertaining to such proposals, including the

proposals included and other aspects are regulated by the Securities Exchange 
Act of 1934, Rules and Regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission 
and other laws and regulations to which interested persons should refer.

On May 21, 1998 the Securities and Exchange Commission adopted an amendment 
to Rule 14a-4, as promulgated under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, 
as amended. The amendment to Rule 14a-4(c)(1) governs the Company's use of 
its discretionary proxy voting authority with respect to a stockholder 
proposal which is not addressed in the Company's proxy statement. The new 
amendment provides that if a proponent of a proposal fails to notify the 
Company at least 45 days prior to the month and day of mailing of the prior 
year's proxy statement, then the Company will be allowed to use its 
discretionary voting authority when the proposal is raised at the meeting, 
without any discussion of the matter in the proxy statement.

With respect to the Company's 1999 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, if the 
Company is not provided notice of a stockholder proposal, which the 
stockholder has not previously sought to include in the Company's proxy 
statement, by June 30, 1999, the Company will be allowed to use its voting 
authority as outlined.
