Three and Six Month Period Ended June 30, 2000

IDS today announces that its previously reported loss of $19,199,000, or $0.84 per share, for the six-month period ended June 30, 2000 (August 29, 2000 press release) has been decreased to a loss of $15,779,000, or $0.69 per share. The variance The discrepancy between what a party to a lawsuit alleges will be proved in pleadings and what the party actually proves at trial.

In Zoning law, an official permit to use property in a manner that departs from the way in which other property in the same locality
 in six-month period results from a determination by management that certain amounts, which had been previously recorded in the current year, should be more appropriately recorded in a prior period. For the three-month period ended June 30, 2000 the Company announced today a loss of $11,605,000, or $0.51 per share.

The comparative figures for the three and six month period ended June 30, 1999 which were previously reported (August 9, 1999 press release) have been adjusted to reflect the prior period and other amounts which should be recorded in these 1999 comparative periods. For the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 1999 the Company is now reporting a net loss of $447,000, or $0.02 per share, and net income of $1,151,000, or $0.05 per share, respectively.

Revenues for the three-month period ended June 30, 2000 of $6,331,000 were lower than the revenues of $11,320,000 in the same period in 1999 primarily due to lower Analytical analytical, analytic

 and Security product sales and revenue from the Power and Control division. Gross margin for the three month period ended June 30, 2000 was $1.2 million representing 18% of revenues compared to $3.6 million representing 32% of revenues for the same period in 1999. The decrease in gross margin is primarily due to an increase in lower margin installation contracts and a decline in higher margin product sale revenues in the Analytical and Security division.

Included in the now reported loss for the three month period ended June 30, 2000 of $11,605,000 are unusual items totaling $4,620,000 which relate to an increase in inventory obsolescence ob·so·les·cent

Further the loss for the second quarter ended June 30, 2000 also included costs of $2,276,000 related to the development of Caduceon and Geocommerce products.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2000

The Company also announced today that the previously reported loss of $ 1,257,000, or $ 0.05 per share, for three-month period ended March 31, 2000 (May 23, 2000 press release) has been increased by $ 2,917,000 to $ 4,174,0000, or $ 0.18 per share. The increase in loss included the following items: $ 1,017,000 increase in selling, general and administrative expenses in connection with expenses which were recorded in the second quarter but relate to the first quarter; $ 562,000 increase in depreciation expense to reflect actual expense for the period; $ 617,000 increase in cost of sales that relates to sales revenue recorded in the first quarter; $ 465,000 decrease in Power and Control unbilled revenue; and a $ 256,000 increase in research and development expenses.

The comparative figures for the three month period ended March 31, 1999 which were previously reported (April 27, 1999 press release) have been adjusted to reflect the prior period and other amounts which should be recorded in the 1999 comparative period. For the three- month period ended March 31, 1999 the Company is now reporting net income of $ 1,598,000, or $ 0.07 per share. Revenues in the first quarter of this year at $ 8.3 million were lower than the first quarter of 1999, because no further sales of the Large Vehicle Bomb Detection System (LVBDS) have been secured since the $ 7,305,000 sale that occurred in the comparative quarter. Gross margin for the first quarter was $ 3.0 million representing 36% of revenues compared to $ 6.2 million representing 43% of revenues for the same period in fiscal 1999. Costs of $ 2.1 million related to the development of Caduceon and Geocommerce products were included in the first quarter loss of $ 4,174,000.
