1    Interim financial information

     The financial information as at September 30, 2000 and for the periods
     ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 is unaudited; however, in the opinion of
     management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly the results of the
     periods have been included. The adjustments made were of a normal,
     recurring nature. Interim results may not necessarily be indicative of
     results expected for the year. These interim financial statements have not
     been the subject of a review engagement by the Company's independent
     auditors.


2    Accounting policies

     Functional currency

     During the third quarter of fiscal 2000, the company determined that its
     functional currency had clearly changed from the Canadian dollar to the
     U.S. dollar as at the beginning of the quarter. As a result of this change,
     which has been applied prospectively from July 1, 2000, transactions
     denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are now translated
     into U.S. dollars using the temporal method. Under this method, monetary
     assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange
     rate in effect on the balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets and
     liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at historical exchange rates.
     Revenues and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange
     rates prevailing at the dates of the respective transactions. Gains and
     losses resulting from translation of monetary assets and liabilities into
     U.S. dollars are reflected in the statement of earnings.

     Prior to July 1, 2000, the Company's functional currency was the Canadian
     dollar. Accordingly, the financial statements were translated from Canadian
     dollars into U.S. dollars using the current rate method. Gains and losses
     resulting from translation of the financial statements were included in the
     cumulative translation adjustment in shareholders' equity. The translated
     amounts for non-monetary items as at June 30, 2000 becomes the historical
     basis for those items in subsequent periods.

4    Capital stock

     On March 28, 2000, the Company filed a registration statement with the
     Securities and Exchange Commission qualifying the issuance of 1,625,000
     common shares for gross proceeds of $39.00 per share. Net proceeds from the
     offering amounted to $60,418,000, after deducting underwriting commissions
     and other expenses of $2,957,000 (net of future income taxes of
     $1,774,000).

     On June 22, 2000, the Board of Directors amended the Company's stock option
     plan in order to increase the number of common shares that may be issued
     pursuant to the plan from 3,000,000 to 6,000,000. On July 29, 2000, the
     Company granted, to various employees, officers and directors, options to
     purchase 1,370,500 at an exercise price of $25.25 per common share.

     During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2000, 573,500 options with
     a weighted average exercise price of $3.08, and 70,769 warrants with a
     weighted average exercise price of $2.85 were exercised for a total cash
     consideration of $1,966,363.

(1)  The 1999 earnings per common share have been adjusted to reflect the impact
     of having applied the statutory corporate tax rates.

Basic net earnings per common share

The basic net earnings per common share have been calculated on the weighted
average number of shares outstanding.

Fully diluted net earnings per common share

Fully diluted net earnings per share have been determined using the weighted
average number of common shares plus any dilutive common share equivalents
outstanding during the period. Net earnings for the period are increased by the
estimated additional earnings on the proceeds from the exercise of dilutive
common share equivalents.

8    Additional disclosures required by U.S. GAAP and differences between
     Canadian GAAP and U.S. GAAP

     Statement of earnings

     Transactions entered into after December 15, 1995 in which an entity
     acquires goods and services from non-employees in exchange for equity
     instruments are required to be recorded at fair value (SFAS No. 123).

     For stock-based compensation plans, the Company has chosen to use the
     intrinsic value method (APB Opinion No. 25), which requires compensation
     cost to be recognized on the difference, if any, between the quoted market
     price of the stock as at the grant date and the amount the individual must
     pay to acquire the stock. Variable stock option plans require subsequent
     changes in the fair value of the underlying stock to be recorded as an
     adjustment to compensation cost. The options issued in 1997 have a cashless
     exercise option and accordingly, they are accounted for as variable stock
     option plans. On April 22, 1998, option holders waived the cashless
     exercise option on options to acquire 1,507,000 common shares. Therefore,
     subsequent changes in the fair value of the underlying stock are no longer
     recorded as an increase or decrease of compensation cost until the options
     are exercised.

     Under Canadian GAAP, compensation expense is not recognized.

     Under U.S. GAAP, diluted earnings per share are calculated using the
     treasury stock method.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND
        FINANCIAL CONDITION

Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of the Company's results of operations and
liquidity and capital resources should be read in conjunction with the financial
information and the financial statements of the Company and their related notes
appearing elsewhere herein. The financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") in Canada,
which conform in all material respects with U.S. GAAP except as disclosed in
Note 8 to the financial statements, which explains the nature of the differences
between Canadian and U.S. GAAP and their impact on the financial statements.


First Nine Months of 2000 compared with First Nine Months 1999

Total revenue increased by $25,628,158 or 112% from $22,799,610 in 1999 to
$48,427,768 in 2000. In 2000, the Company sold 469 U-Scan(R) systems, compared
with 224 systems in 1999.

Total cost of sales increased by $18,083,671 or 100%, from $18,007,577 in 1999
to $36,091,248 in 2000. Overall gross margin as a percentage of sales increased
from 21% in 1999 to 25% in 2000. This increase resulted primarily from economies
of scale realized and the reduction of installation costs.

Net research and development expenses increased by $346,396, or 195%, from 1999
to 2000. As a percentage of sales, research and development expenses remained
unchanged at 1% from 1999 to 2000.

Selling, general and administrative and other expenses increased by $2,867,928,
or 78% in 2000 over 1999. As a percentage of sales, these expenses decreased
from 16% in 1999 to 13% in 2000. This decrease resulted from the substantial
increase in the number of U-Scan(R) systems sold in 2000 as compared to 1999.


Third Quarter of 2000 Compared with Third Quarter of 1999

Total revenues increased by $9,614,424, or 90%, from $10,686,086 in 1999 to
$20,300,510 in 2000. Sales of U-Scan(R) systems grew from 105 systems in 1999 to
196 systems in 2000.

Total cost of sales increased by $6,992,105, or 86%, from $8,127,717 in 1999 to
$15,119,822 in 2000. Overall gross margin increased as a percentage of sales
from 24% in 1999 to 26% in 2000.

Net research and development expenses increased by $109,467, or 165%, from 1999
to 2000. As a percentage of sales, research and development expenses remained
unchanged at 1% in 1999 and 2000.


                                                                              14

Selling, general, administrative and other expenses increased by $1,745,238, or
135% in 2000 compared to the second quarter of 1999. As a percentage of sales,
these expenses increased from 12% in 1999 to 15% in 2000. This increase is the
result of increased marketing efforts and the continuing growth of the
Plattsburgh operation.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2000, the Company had working capital of $100,153,977, which
included cash, cash equivalents and investment grade commercial paper of
$70,656,196. Operating activities for the first nine months of 2000 used
$15,396,354 as compared with $3,937,358 in 1999. The Company believes that it
has sufficient working capital to meet its needs for the next 12 months.

Inventory increased by $9,800,513 during the nine-month period ended September
30, 2000. As of September 30, 2000 the Company had parts and staging units of
$2,040,153, in preparation of assuming the assembly function of our products as
of January 1, 2001. Replacement parts inventory increased by $4,833,042 during
this period to accommodate the servicing of the Company's expanding installed
base. Our U-Scan(R) systems inventory has increased by $2,927,318, as a result
of purchases made at the end of September for delivery in the fourth quarter.

In the first nine months of 2000, the Company had capital expenditures of
$2,046,225, principally relating to leasehold improvements, and the acquisition
of computer equipment, furniture and fixtures and test units.

On March 28, 2000, the Company filed a registration statement with the
Securities and Exchange Commission qualifying the issuance of 1,625,000 common
shares for gross proceeds of $39.00 per share. Net proceeds from the offering
amounted to $60,418,000, after deducting underwriting commissions and other
expenses of $2,957,000 (net of future income taxes of $1,774,000).

On June 22, 2000, the Board of Directors amended the Company's stock option plan
in order to increase the number of common shares that may be issued pursuant to
the plan from 3,000,000 to 6,000,000. On July 29, 2000, the Company granted, to
various employees, officers and directors, options to purchase 1,370,500 at an
exercise price of $25.25 per common share.

During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2000, 573,500 options with a
weighted average exercise price of $3.08, and 70,769 warrants with a weighted
average exercise price of $2.85 were exercised for a total cash consideration of
$1,966,363.

The Company maintains an operating line of credit in the amount of $500,000 CAD
with its banker.

Year 2000 Issues

To date, none of our customers has informed us of any Year 2000 problems with
their systems and hardware, although some uncertainty remains in the software
industry and other industries concerning the scope and magnitude of problems
associated with the century change. Furthermore, we received no indications that
any material third party providers were not ready for the Year 2000, and we
believe that any such unpreparedness discovered after January 2000 will not have
a material effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.


                                                                              16

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION


Item 1. In each of 1995 and 1996, we received a demand letter from the same
claimant alleging that U-Scan Express infringes upon the claimant's patent. In
July 1999, this claimant filed a civil action in the United States district
Court for the District of Utah against us and PSC, the current assembler of
U-Scan Express, alleging patent infringement. A second party also sent a demand
letter to us alleging a different patent infringement. Although after
consultation with counsel, we believe that the former claimant should not
prevail in its lawsuit and that the latter claimant should not prevail if a
lawsuit is brought to assert its claim, and that these claims will not have a
material adverse effect on our business or prospects, no assurance can be given
that a court will not find that the system infringes upon one or both of such
claimants' rights.
