PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
(a) GENERAL DEVELOPMENT OF BUSINESS
Tidel Technologies, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated under the laws of
the State of Delaware in November 1987 under the name of American Medical
Technologies, Inc., succeeding a corporation established in British
Columbia, Canada in May 1984.
In September 1992, the Company acquired Tidel Engineering, Inc., a
manufacturer of cash handling devices and other products, for $4,746,848.
The Company changed its name to Tidel Technologies, Inc. in July 1997, and
is primarily engaged in the development, manufacturing, sale and support of
automated teller machines ("ATMs") and electronic safes. During 2000, no
significant changes occurred in the manner of conducting the Company's
business
(b) FINANCIAL INFORMATION ABOUT OPERATING SEGMENTS
The Company conducts business within one operating segment, principally in
the United States.
(c) DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
The Company develops, manufactures, sells and supports ATM products and
related software, known as the Ignition and Chameleon series products, and
electronic safe products, known as the Timed Access Cash Controller
("TACC") products, which are designed for specialty retail marketers. Sales
of products are generally made on a wholesale basis to more than 250
distributors and manufacturer's representatives. The Company's engineering,
sales and service departments work closely with distributors and their
customers to continually analyze and fulfill their needs, enhance existing
products and develop new products. Sales of the Company's ATM and TACC
products accounted for 92% of revenue in each of the fiscal years ended
September 30, 2000 and 1999, and 88% in the fiscal year ended September 30,
1998.
The principal materials and components used by the Company are
pre-fabricated steel cabinets, custom molded plastic, and various
electronic parts and components, all of which are generally available in
quantity at this time. The Company assembles its products by configuring
parts and components received from a number of major suppliers with the
Company's proprietary hardware and software.
The Company has one customer, Credit Card Center ("CCC"), that accounted
for 61% and 40% of its total net sales for the years ended September 30,
2000 and 1999, respectively. CCC also purchases a significant amount of ATM
products from a principal competitor of the Company, and there can be no
assurance that the Company's sales to this customer will reach or exceed
historical levels in any future period. Although management believes that
it has a good relationship with CCC, the loss of this customer would have a
material adverse effect on the Company's business.

The Company's operating results and the amount and timing of revenue are
affected by numerous factors including production schedules, customer
priorities, sales volume, and sales mix. The Company normally fills and
ships customer orders within 45 days of receipt, and therefore no
significant backlog generally exists.
All phases of the Company's business are highly competitive. The Company
believes, based upon independent industry estimates, that it is a leading
manufacturer of ATMs in the U.S. off-premise ATM market. Competition in the
U.S. market is substantial, with large corporations such as Diebold
Incorporated and NCR Corporation dominating the marketplace. Direct
competition to the Company in the off-premise market consists of companies
such as Triton Systems, Inc. (a subsidiary of Dover Corporation),
Fujitsu-ICL Systems, Cross Technologies, Inc. (a distributor of Hyosung
products) and Wincor-Nixdorf. The Company believes that the quality and
value offered by its ATM product line allows it to compete effectively in
the off-premise market. The Company believes that it is also a leader in
the global market for electronic cash controller equipment. Competition in
that market comes principally from NKL Industries, McGunn Safe Company,
Armor Safe Company and AutoVend. Many smaller manufacturers of ATMs,
electronic safes and kiosks are also found in the market.
The Company can experience seasonal variances in its operations and
historically has its lowest dollar volume sales months between November and
February. The Company's operating results for any particular quarter may
not be indicative of the results for the future quarter or for the year.
The Company's charges to expense for research and development were
approximately $2,800,000, $1,700,000 and $1,400,000 for the years ended
September 30, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
Compliance by the Company with federal, state and local environmental
protection laws during 2000 had no material effect upon capital
expenditures, earnings or the competitive position of the Company.
The Company employed 133 people at September 30, 2000, compared to 144
people at the end of the preceding year. The decrease in 2000 relates to a
reduction in the number of full-time assembly line personnel.
(d) FINANCIAL INFORMATION ABOUT EXPORT SALES
Sales to customers outside the United States, as a percentage of total
revenues, were approximately, 6%, 5% and 4% in the fiscal years ended
September 30, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
The Company's corporate office is located in approximately 4,100 square
feet in Houston, Texas, under a lease expiring in December 2001. The
manufacturing, engineering and warehouse operations are located in two
adjacent facilities occupying approximately 110,000 square feet in
Carrollton, Texas, under leases expiring in January 2004. Additionally, the
Company has sales and administration offices in Canada and Greece.
At September 30, 2000, the Company owned tangible property and equipment
with a cost basis of approximately $4,919,000.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company and its subsidiaries are each subject to certain litigation and
claims arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of the
management of the Company, the amounts ultimately payable, if any, as a
result of such litigation and claims will not have a materially adverse
effect on the Company's financial position.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders during the fourth
quarter of fiscal 2000.
PART II
ITEM 5. MARKET FOR COMPANY'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

wholly owned subsidiary is restricted from paying dividends to the Company
pursuant to the subsidiary's revolving credit agreement with a bank.
There were approximately 8,500 shareholders as of January 3, 2001, which
includes an estimated number of shareholders who have shares held for their
accounts by brokers, banks and trustees for benefit plans.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
The Company's revenues were $72,931,000 for the year ended September 30,
2000, representing an increase of $27,058,000, or 59%, from fiscal 1999 and
$39,324,000, or 117%, from fiscal 1998. Operating income for the year was
$15,440,000 as compared to $5,117,000 in fiscal 1999 and $4,325,000 in
fiscal 1998. Net income was $9,169,000 for the year ended September 30,
2000, an increase of $6,233,000, or 212%, from fiscal 1999 and $4,929,000,
or 116%, from fiscal 1998.

7
The increases in sales were primarily due to shipments of ATMs in the
off-premise markets, to one major customer. The gross profit from these
increased sales, offset somewhat by increased operating expenses, provided
the overall improvement in operating and net income.
PRODUCT REVENUES
A breakdown of net sales by individual product line is provided in the
following table:
(dollars in 000's)
----------------------------------
2000 1999 1998
-------- -------- --------
ATM .................................... $ 59,210 $ 35,570 $ 22,971
TACC ................................... 7,569 6,579 6,477
Parts and other ........................ 6,152 3,724 4,160
-------- -------- --------
$ 72,931 $ 45,873 $ 33,608
======== ======== ========
ATM sales increased 66% in the past year due to strong customer demand for
the Company's cost-competitive Ignition series ATMs in non-bank locations.
For the year ended September 30, 2000, the Company shipped 12,426 units, an
increase of 76% over the 7,061 units shipped in fiscal 1999 and an increase
of 200% over the 4,140 units shipped in fiscal 1998. Based on industry
estimates for 2000, Tidel has gained significant market share, during the
year and is now positioned as one of the industry leaders in deployments of
ATMs in the off-premise market.
TACC sales increased 15% in 2000 as the Company has increased its marketing
efforts in the U.S. for this product line and has experienced some
penetration in market segments outside of the traditional convenience store
and petroleum retail markets, such as food service and hospitality markets.
Parts and other revenues vary directly with sales of finished goods, and
have increased accordingly. Additionally, the Company had sales of parts
and equipment related to its former environmental monitoring business of
$554,000 and $1,355,000 in 1999 and 1998, respectively. The Company did not
record a significant amount of revenues related to this business in 2000
and does not expect to record any significant revenues from this business
in the future.
GROSS PROFIT, OPERATING EXPENSES AND NON-OPERATING ITEMS
A comparison of certain operating information is provided in the following
table:
(dollars in 000's)
----------------------------------

-------- -------- --------
Net income ............................. $ 9,169 $ 2,936 $ 4,240
======== ======== ========
Gross profit on product sales was $27,916,000 in 2000, an increase of
$12,956,000, or 87%, from 1999 and $15,736,000, or 129%, from 1998. The
gross margin, as a percentage of sales, was 38.3% of product sales,
compared to 32.6% in 1999 and 36.2% in 1998. The improvement in gross
margin in
5
8
2000 compared to 1999 was principally due to lower production costs per ATM
unit as a result of volume discounts on raw materials and manufacturing
efficiencies.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $11,108,000 in 2000, an
increase of $2,078,000 from $9,030,000 in 1999, and an increase of
$3,742,000 from $7,366,000 in 1998, as a result of higher salaries and
increased marketing expenses. These costs were 15.2% of sales in 2000, a
decrease from the 1999 and 1998 levels of 19.7% and 21.9%, respectively.
The percentage decline relates primarily to increased sales volume.
Depreciation and amortization was $1,368,000, $813,000 and $489,000, for
the years ended September 30, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The
increase in 2000 compared to 1999 and 1998 related to additions of
property, plant and equipment primarily for the production of new models in
the Ignition and Chameleon series ATM product lines.
Interest expense fluctuations in 2000, 1999 and 1998 are a result of
varying levels of outstanding indebtedness under the Company's revolving
credit agreement with a bank and changes in the prime rate. The Company
expects interest expense to increase during fiscal 2001 due to the issuance
of the convertible debentures described below.
Income tax expense (benefit) provisions of $4,838,000 in 2000 and
$1,800,000 in 1999, represented an effective tax rate of 34.5% in 2000 and
38% in 1999. The income tax benefit in 1998 was attributable to a fourth
quarter reduction in valuation allowance estimates to reflect the probable
utilization of the Company's remaining deferred tax assets. This resulted
in the recognition of a deferred income tax benefit of $947,000 which, when
offset with current tax expense of $640,000, resulted in a net income tax
benefit of $307,000.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The financial position of the Company continues to improve primarily as a
result of profitable operations, the infusion of capital from the exercise
of options and warrants, and the issuance of convertible debentures in
September 2000 as reflected in the following key indicators as of September
30, 2000, 1999 and 1998:
(dollars in 000's)
----------------------------------
2000 1999 1998
-------- -------- --------
Cash .............................. $ 16,223 $ 2,424 $ 1,400
Working capital ................... 46,516 18,023 15,438
Total assets ...................... 63,060 28,696 24,247
Shareholders' equity .............. 28,846 15,922 13,484
The improvement in working capital in 2000 is principally due to the
increase in cash from the private placement in September 2000 of
$18,000,000 of convertible debentures, as described more fully below, and
an increase in accounts receivable and inventories as a result of higher
sales levels.
The Company has a credit agreement with a bank which provides for a
$7,000,000 revolving line of credit with interest equal to the prime rate,
of which $1,800,000 was unused and available at September 30, 2000, and a
$640,000 term loan at 8.4% interest per annum. At September 30, 2000,
$5,200,000 was outstanding on the revolving credit facility compared to
$4,894,634 at September 30, 1999. Subsequent to September 30, 2000, the
Company amended the credit agreement to increase the
6
9
line of credit to $10,000,000. See Note 8 to Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements for a description of all outstanding debt and
maturities.
In September 2000, the Company issued an aggregate of $18,000,000 of the
Company's 6% Convertible Debentures, due September 8, 2004, to two
investors convertible into the Company's common stock at a price of $9.50
per share. Some of these proceeds may be used to provide financing to
several of the Company's major customers. In addition, the Company issued
warrants to the investors to purchase 378,947 shares of the Company's
common stock exercisable at any time through September 8, 2005 at an
exercise price of $9.80 per share. The debentures provide for three methods
to convert the debentures into shares of the Company's common stock: (1)
conversion at the option of the Holder; (2) conversion at the option of the
Company; and (3) a put option. See Note 9 to Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements for a description of the terms and conditions of the
convertible debentures.
The Company formerly owned 100% of 3CI Complete Compliance Corporation, a
company engaged in the transportation and incineration of medical waste,
until its divestiture of a majority interest in February 1994. The Company
continues to own 698,464 shares of the common stock of 3CI. During the
fourth quarter, management of the Company deemed the decline in the fair
value of the 3CI to be other than temporary and recorded a non-cash
impairment charge in the amount of $1,000,000 for the write-down of its
investment in the common stock of 3CI in accordance with Financial
Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 115. With respect to its remaining
investment, the Company had previously provided aggregate loss provisions
of $1,436,750 in prior periods, resulting in a write-down of the investment
to its present carrying amount of $130,962. The Company has no immediate
plan for the disposal of these shares, and accordingly, all the shares are
presently pledged to secure borrowings under the revolving credit agreement
with a bank. See Note 5 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
During the year ended September 30, 2000, warrants to purchase 1,055,692
shares of Common Stock were exercised, generating proceeds of $995,587. In
addition, an aggregate of options to purchase 252,550 shares of Common
Stock were exercised pursuant to the Company's stock option plans,
generating proceeds of $353,577.
The Company's research and development budget for fiscal 2001 has been
estimated at $3,200,000. The majority of these expenditures are applicable
to enhancements of the existing product lines, development of new automated
teller machine products and the development of new technology to facilitate
the dispensing of products such as postage stamps, money orders, and
prepaid telephone cards, as well as multiple denominations of currency.
Total research and development expenditures were approximately $2,800,000,
$1,700,000 and $1,400,000 for the years ended September 30, 2000, 1999 and
1998, respectively.
With its present capital resources, its continuing earnings from
operations, its potential capital from the exercise of warrants, and
available credit from its revolving facility, the Company believes it
should have sufficient resources to meet its operating needs for the
foreseeable future and to provide for debt maturities and capital
expenditures.
The Company has never paid dividends on shares of its common stock, and
does not anticipate paying dividends in the foreseeable future. In
addition, the Company's wholly owned subsidiary is restricted from paying
dividends to the Company pursuant to the subsidiary's revolving credit
agreement with a bank.

IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In June 1998, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities"
("SFAS 133"). SFAS 133 establishes new accounting and reporting standards
requiring that all derivative instruments (including certain derivative
instruments embedded in other contracts) be recorded in the balance sheet
as either an asset or liability measured at its fair value. SFAS 133
requires that changes in the derivative's fair value be recognized
currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met.
Special accounting for qualifying hedges allows a derivative's gains and
losses to offset related results on the hedged item in the income statement
and requires that a company must formally document, designate, and assess
the effectiveness of transactions that receive hedge accounting. SFAS 133,
as amended, is effective for all fiscal years beginning after June 15,
2000. The Company has not yet determined the impact; if any, SFAS 133 will
have on its financial position or results of operations, and plans to adopt
this standard during the year ending September 30, 2001.
YEAR 2000 DISCLOSURE
The Company was well prepared for the year 2000 and experienced no major
problems with its internal systems or in products purchased from suppliers
used in manufacturing. The Company is also aware of no major problems with
any of its products in the field. As required, the Company expensed as
incurred all costs associated with year 2000 issues. The costs did not have
a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of
operations.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company is exposed to changes in interest rates as a result of
significant financing through its issuance of variable-rate and fixed-rate
debt. If market interest rates were to increase 1% in fiscal 2000, there
would be no material impact on the Company's consolidated results of
operations or financial position.
RISK FACTORS
There are several risks inherent in the business of the Company including,
but not limited to, the following:
A substantial amount of our revenues comes from one product line.
We receive a substantial amount of our revenues from sales of our ATMs.
Approximately 81% and 78% of our net sales came from our ATM product line
for the years ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
We expect our future success to depend in large part on the sale of our
ATMs. Because of this product concentration, our business could be
materially adversely affected by a decline in demand for these products or
an increase in competition. Our future performance will depend in part on
the successful development, introduction and customer acceptance of new ATM
products and other products. We may be unsuccessful in designing,
manufacturing, marketing and selling any new products.
8
11
We may be unable to sustain our recent growth and our operating results may
fluctuate for a variety of reasons, many of which are beyond our control.
We may be unable to sustain our recent growth in revenues and profits in
the future. Our business strategies may fail and our quarterly and annual
operating results may vary significantly from period to period depending
on:
- the volume and timing of orders received during the period,
- the timing of new product introductions by us and our
competitors,
- the impact of price competition on our selling prices,
- the availability and pricing of components for our products,
- seasonal fluctuations in operations and sales,
- changes in product or distribution channel mix,
- changes in operating expenses,
- changes in our strategy, and
- personnel changes and general economic factors.
Many of these factors are beyond our control. We are unable to forecast the
volume and timing of orders received during a particular period. Customers
generally order our products on an as-needed basis, and accordingly we have
historically operated with a relatively small backlog. We experience
seasonal variances in our operations and historically have our lowest
dollar volume sales months between November and February. Accordingly,
operating results for any particular quarter may not be indicative of the
results for the future quarter or for the year.
Even though it is difficult to forecast future sales and we maintain a
relatively small level of backlog at any given time, we generally must plan
production, order components and undertake our development, sales and
marketing activities and other commitments months in advance. Accordingly,
any shortfall in sales in a given period may adversely impact our results
of operations if we are unable to adjust expenses or inventory during the
period to match the level of sales for the period.
We depend on one major customer and, if we lose that customer, we may be
unable to replace it.
One customer, Credit Card Center ("CCC") accounted for 61% and 40% of our
net sales for the years ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. We
expect to depend upon CCC for a significant portion of our net sales in
future periods. If CCC fails to place anticipated orders or defers or
cancels its orders, we will experience an immediate and severe drop in our
sales. We are unable to predict whether sales from CCC will reach or exceed
historical levels in any future period. In addition, we may be unable to
retain CCC or expand our distribution channels by entering into
arrangements with new customers.
We provide substantial amounts of credit to one major customer, and we
could incur a substantial accounting loss if that customer defaulted on its
obligations to us.
In order to remain competitive, we provide extended financing terms for
substantial amounts of credit to assist our major customer, CCC, with its
working capital requirements. The amounts owed to us by CCC are secured by
a collateral pledge of accounts receivable, inventories and transaction
income. In the event that CCC failed to perform according to the terms of
our credit arrangement with them, we might be required to foreclose and
liquidate the underlying collateral. We would incur a loss to the extent
that the proceeds realized from the liquidation of collateral were less
than the amount owed to us by CCC.
9
12
Failure by third-party suppliers to provide us with components will affect
our ability to produce our ATM and TACC products.
We depend on third-parties to manufacture components for most of our ATM
and TACC products as part of our low-cost manufacturing strategy. Our
principal suppliers are Fujitsu-ICL Systems, De La Rue and Special
Products. We have alternative suppliers for the components; however, the
unit costs currently paid by us for these components may increase if we
switch to these alternative suppliers. Moreover, our inability to obtain
enough of, or the failure of suppliers to deliver, the components would
require us to change the design of the products in order to use other
components. Alternative sources of supply may be unavailable on reasonably
acceptable terms, on a timely basis, or at all.
We have a written agreement with only one of our component suppliers. We
purchase components from our other suppliers on a purchase order basis. We
don't have any guaranteed supply arrangements with most of our suppliers
and these suppliers may be unable to meet our future requirements. We keep
a limited inventory of components for which there is only one or a limited
number of suppliers, but these inventories may be insufficient for our
needs.
Our growth may over-extend our management and other resources.
Future growth in our business could significantly strain our limited
personnel, management, financial controls and other resources. Our ability
to manage any future expansion effectively will require us to attract,
train, motivate and manage new employees successfully, to integrate new
management and employees into our overall operations and to continue to
improve our operational, financial and management systems and controls and
facilities. Our failure to manage any expansion effectively, including any
failure to integrate new management controls, systems and procedures, could
materially adversely affect our business, results of operations and
financial condition.
The ATM market is very competitive and, if we fail to adapt our products
and services, we will lose customers and fail to compete effectively.
The markets for our ATM products are characterized by intense competition.
We expect the intensity of competition to increase. Large manufacturers
such as Diebold Incorporated, NCR Corporation, Triton Systems (a division
of Dover Corporation) and Hyosung compete directly with us in the quickly
growing, low-cost ATM market. Our direct competitors for our TACC products
include Allied Gary International, McGunn, Scitak and AutoVend. We believe
that AutoVend is the only other manufacturer that features cash controllers
as a major product line.
Competition is likely to result in price reductions, reduced margins and
loss of market share, any one of which may harm our business. Competitors
vary in size, scope and breadth of the products and services offered. We
may encounter competition from competitors who offer more functionality and
features. In addition, we expect competition from other established and
emerging companies, as the market continues to develop and expand,
resulting in increased price sensitivity for our products.
To compete successfully, we must adapt to a rapidly changing market by
continually improving the performance, features and reliability of our
products and services or else our products and services may become
obsolete. We may also incur substantial costs in modifying our products,
services or infrastructure in order to adapt to these changes.
10
13
Many of our competitors have greater financial, technical, marketing and
other resources and greater name recognition than we do. In addition, many
of our competitors have established relationships with our current and
potential customers and have extensive knowledge of our industry. In the
past, we have lost potential customers to competitors. In addition, current
and potential competitors have established or may establish cooperative
relationships among themselves or with third parties to increase the
ability of their products to address customer needs. Accordingly, it is
possible that new competitors or alliances among competitors may develop
and rapidly acquire significant market share.
Our future growth will depend upon our ability to continue to manufacture,
market and sell ATMs with cost-effective characteristics, develop and
penetrate new market segments and enter and develop new markets.
We must design and introduce new products with enhanced features, develop
close relationships with the leading market participants and establish new
distribution channels in each new market or market segment in order to
grow. We are currently marketing a new ATM product, the Chameleon, which is
a web-enabled ATM product that provides users with e-commerce and
point-of-sale functionality in addition to traditional ATM features. We are
unable to predict whether Chameleon will gain acceptance in the ATM market.
Additionally, some of the transactions currently initiated through ATMs
could be accomplished in the future using emerging technologies, such as
wireless devices and cellular telephones, which we do not currently
support. We may be unable to develop or gain market acceptance of products
supporting these technologies. Our failure to successfully offer products
supporting these emerging technologies could harm our business.
Because the protection of our proprietary technology is limited, our
proprietary technology may be used by others without our consent, which may
reduce our ability to compete and may divert resources.
Our success depends upon proprietary technology and other intellectual
property rights. We must be able to obtain patents, maintain trade-secret
protection and operate without infringing on the intellectual property
rights of others. We have relied on a combination of copyright, trade
secret and trademark laws and nondisclosure and other contractual
restrictions to protect proprietary technology. Our means of protecting
intellectual property rights may be inadequate. It is possible that patents
issued to or licensed by us will be successfully challenged. We may
unintentionally infringe patents of third parties or we may have to alter
our products or processes or pay licensing fees or cease certain activities
to take into account patent rights of third parties, thereby causing
additional unexpected costs and delays which may adversely affect our
business.
In addition, competitors may obtain additional patents and proprietary
rights relating to products or processes used in, necessary to, competitive
with or otherwise related to those we use. The scope and validity of these
patents and proprietary rights, the extent to which we may be required to
obtain licenses under these patents or under other proprietary rights and
the cost and availability of licenses are unknown, but these factors may
limit our ability to market our existing or future products.
We also rely upon unpatented trade secrets. Other entities may
independently develop substantially the same proprietary information and
techniques or otherwise gain access to our trade secrets or disclose such
technology. In addition, we may be unable to meaningfully protect our
rights to our unpatented trade secrets. In addition, certain previously
filed patents relating to our ATM products and TACC products have expired.
11
14
Litigation may be necessary to enforce our intellectual property rights,
protect trade secrets, determine the validity and scope of the proprietary
rights of others, or defend against claims of infringement or invalidity.
Litigation may result in substantial costs and diversion of resources,
which may limit our ability to develop new services and compete for
customers.
If the ability to charge ATM fees is limited or prohibited, ATMs may become
less profitable and demand for our ATM products could decrease.
The growth in the market and in our sales of ATMs has been due, in part, to
the ability of ATM owners to charge consumers a surcharge fee for the use
of the ATM. The ability to charge fees resulted from the elimination in
April 1996 by the Cirrus and Plus national ATM networks of their policies
against the imposition of surcharges on ATM transactions.
ATM owners are subject to federal and state regulations governing
consumers' rights with respect to ATM transactions. Some states and
municipalities have enacted legislation in an attempt to limit or eliminate
surcharging, and similar legislation has been introduced in Congress. In
addition, it is possible that one or more of the national ATM networks will
reinstate their former policies prohibiting surcharging. The adoption of
any additional regulations or legislation or industry policies limiting or
prohibiting ATM surcharges could decrease demand for our products.
Any interruption of our manufacturing whether as a result of damaged
equipment, natural disasters or otherwise could injure our business.
All of our manufacturing occurs at our facility in Carrollton, Texas. Our
manufacturing operations utilize equipment which, if damaged or otherwise
rendered inoperable, would result in the disruption of our manufacturing
operations. Although we maintain business interruption insurance, our
business would be injured by any extended interruption of the operations at
our manufacturing facility. This insurance may not continue to be available
on reasonable terms or at all. Our facilities are also exposed to risks
associated with the occurrence of natural disasters, such as hurricanes and
tornadoes. It is possible that natural disasters may damage our facilities.
If we release products containing defects, we may need to halt further
sales and/or services until we fix the defects, and our reputation would be
harmed.
We provide a limited warranty on each of our products covering
manufacturing defects and premature failure. While we believe that our
reserves for warranty claims are adequate, we may experience increased
warranty claims. Our products may contain undetected defects which could
result in the improper dispensation of cash or other items. Although we
have experienced only a limited number of claims of this nature to date,
these types of defects may occur in the future. In addition, we may be held
liable for losses incurred by end users as a result of criminal activity
which our products were intended, but unable, to prevent, or for any
damages suffered by end users as a result of malfunctioning or damaged
components.
12
15
We remain liable for any problems or contamination related to our fuel
monitoring units.
Although we discontinued the production and distribution of our fuel
monitoring units, those units which are still in use are subject to a
variety of federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations governing
storage, manufacture, use, discharge, release and disposal of product and
contaminants into the environment or otherwise relating to the protecting
of the environment. These regulations include, among others (i) the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, (ii) Compensation and Liability Act
of 1980, (iii) The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976, (iv) the
Oil Pollution Act of 1990, (v) the Clean Air Act of 1970, the Clean Water
Act of 1972, (vi) the Toxic Substances control Act of 1976, (vii) the
Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act, and (viii) the
Occupational Safety and Health Administration Act.
Our fuel monitoring products, by their very nature, give rise to the
potential for substantial environmental risks. If our monitoring systems
fail to operate properly, releases or discharges of petroleum and related
products and associated wastes could contaminate the environment. If there
are releases or discharges we may be found liable under the environmental
laws, rules and regulations of the United States, states and local
jurisdictions relating to contamination or threat of contamination of air,
soil, groundwater and surface waters. This indirect liability could expose
us to monetary liability incident to the failure of the monitoring systems
to detect potential leaks in underground storage tanks. Although we have
tried to protect our business from environmental claims by limiting the
types of services we provide, operating pursuant to contracts designed to
protect us, instituting quality control operating procedures and, where
appropriate, insuring against environmental claims, we are unable to
predict whether these measures will eliminate the risk of potential
environmental liability entirely.
We could lose the services of one or more of our executive officers or key
employees.
Our executive officers and key employees are critical to our business
because of their experience and acumen. In particular, the loss of the
services of James T. Rash, Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer
and Chief Financial Officer, or Mark K. Levenick, Chief Operating Officer
of the Company and President of our operating subsidiaries, could have a
material adverse effect on our operations. We have key-man life insurance
on the life of Mr. Rash in the amount of $1,000,000, with the company named
as sole beneficiary. In addition, one of our subsidiaries has key-man life
insurance on the life of Mr. Levenick in the amount of $1,000,000, with the
subsidiary named as the sole beneficiary.
Our future success and growth also depends on our ability to continue to
attract, motivate and retain highly qualified employees, including those
with the expertise necessary to operate our business. These officers and
key personnel may not remain with us, and their loss may harm our
development of technology, our revenues and cash flows. Concurrently, the
addition of these personnel by our competitors would allow our competitors
to compete more effectively by diverting customers from us and facilitating
more rapid development of their technology.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
The Board of Directors
Tidel Technologies, Inc.:
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Tidel
Technologies, Inc. and subsidiaries as listed in the accompanying index. In
connection with our audits of the consolidated financial statements, we also
have audited the financial statement schedules as listed in the accompanying
index. These consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedules
are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and financial
statement schedules based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Tidel
Technologies, Inc. and subsidiaries as of September 30, 2000 and 1999, and the
results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the
three-year period ended September 30, 2000 in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our
opinion, the related financial statement schedules, when considered in relation
to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly,
in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

TIDEL TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2000, 1999 AND 1998
(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Tidel Technologies, Inc. (the "Company") is a Delaware corporation which,
through its wholly owned subsidiaries, develops, manufactures, sells and
supports automated teller machines and related software and electronic cash
security systems, primarily in the United States.
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and
its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany items have been
eliminated in consolidation.
RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain amounts in the prior years' consolidated financial statements have been
reclassified to conform with the current year presentation format.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
For purposes of consolidated financial statement presentation and reporting cash
flows, all liquid investments with original maturities at date of purchase of
three months or less are considered cash equivalents.
INVENTORIES
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using
the standard cost method and includes materials, labor and production overhead
which approximates an average cost method. Reserves are provided to adjust any
slow moving materials or goods to net realizable values.
PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is calculated on
the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.
Expenditures for major renewals and betterments are capitalized; expenditures
for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred.
INTANGIBLE ASSETS
All intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over a period
ranging from 5 to 10 years, with the exception of goodwill, which is amortized
over 40 years.
IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS
The Company's long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles and
goodwill are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of any assets may not be recoverable. In
performing the review for recoverability, the Company estimates the future cash
flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition.
If the sum of the expected
F-8
27
future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) is less than the
carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized.
WARRANTIES
Certain products are sold under warranty against defects in materials and
workmanship for a period of one to two years. A provision for estimated warranty
costs is included in accrued liabilities and is charged to operations at the
time of sale.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Revenues are recognized at the time products are shipped to customers.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and
development costs charged to expense were approximately $2,800,000, $1,700,000
and $1,400,000 for the years ended September 30, 2000, 1999 and 1998,
respectively.
FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method, whereby
deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax
consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement
carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax
bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates
expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary
differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax
assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in determining
income or loss in the period that includes the enactment date.
INVESTMENT SECURITIES
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115,
"Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" ("SFAS No.
115"), the Company classifies its investment in 3CI Complete Compliance
Corporation ("3CI") as available for sale, with unrealized gains and losses
excluded from earnings and recorded as a component of other comprehensive
income. Declines in fair value below the amortized cost basis of the investments
that are determined to be other than a temporary decline are charged to
earnings.
ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE LOSS
Accumulated other comprehensive loss includes all non-equity holder changes in
stockholders' equity. As of September 30, 2000 and 1999, the Company's only
component of accumulated other comprehensive loss relates to unrealized losses
on its investment in 3CI.
NET INCOME PER SHARE
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128,
"Earnings Per Share" ("SFAS No. 128"), the Company computes and presents both
basic and diluted earnings per share ("EPS") amounts. Basic EPS is computed by
dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number
of common shares outstanding for the period, and excludes the effect of
potentially dilutive securities (such as options, warrants and convertible
securities) which are convertible into common stock. Dilutive EPS reflects the
potential dilution from options, warrants and convertible securities.
F-9
28
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation" ("SFAS No. 123"), requires companies to recognize stock-based
expense based on the estimated fair value of employee stock options.
Alternatively, SFAS No. 123 allows companies to retain the current approach set
forth in APB Opinion 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees", provided
that expanded footnote disclosure is presented. The Company has not adopted the
fair value method of accounting for stock-based compensation under SFAS No. 123,
but has provided the pro forma disclosure required therein.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements requires
the use of estimates by management in determining the Company's assets and
liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the
reported amount of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could
differ from these estimates.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosures About Fair
Value of Financial Instruments", requires the disclosure of estimated fair
values for financial instruments. Fair value estimates are made at discrete
points in time based on relevant market information. These estimates may be
subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant
judgment and therefore, cannot be determined with precision. The Company
believes that the carrying amounts of its financial instruments included in
current assets and current liabilities approximate the fair value of such items
due to their short-term nature. The carrying amount of long-term debt
approximates its fair value because the interest rates approximate market.
(2) MAJOR CUSTOMERS AND CREDIT RISKS
The Company generally retains a security interest in the underlying equipment
that is sold to customers until it receives payment in full. In addition, one
major customer has pledged additional collateral to the Company. The Company
would incur an accounting loss equal to the carrying value of the accounts
receivable, less any amounts recovered from liquidation of collateral, if a
customer failed to perform according to the terms of the credit arrangements.
During the year ended September 30, 2000, the Company had sales to one major
customer that accounted for more than 10% of sales in the amount of $44,825,049.
During the year ended September 30, 1999, the Company had such sales to two
major customers in the amounts of $18,554,624 and $4,781,236. During the year
ended September 30, 1998, the Company had such sales to two major customers in
the amounts of $3,526,941 and $3,520,910.
Foreign sales accounted for 6%, 5% and 4% of the Company's total sales during
the years ended September 30, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Foreign sales
are transacted in U.S. dollars.
(3) NOTES AND OTHER RECEIVABLES
Notes and other receivables consisted of non-trade notes and accounts of
$1,151,680 and $897,368 at September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
F-10
29
At September 30, 2000, the Company had a note due from a non-affiliated
corporation with an outstanding principal balance of $213,058. The note bears
interest at 12% per annum and is secured by the personal guaranty of the
majority shareholder of the non-affiliated corporation and a pledge of
outstanding common stock of the corporation. The note matures March 31, 2001.
Non-trade accounts also include amounts due from related parties as described in
Note 16.

share), respectively. In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 115, the
Company recorded an impairment charge of $1,000,000 in September 2000 as the
decline in fair value has been deemed to be other than temporary. In addition,
the Company recorded unrealized losses of $130,962 and $655,159 as components of
other comprehensive income at September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

The Company has a credit agreement with a bank which provides for a $7,000,000
revolving line of credit, of which $1,800,000 was unused and available at
September 30, 2000, and a $640,000 term loan. The facility is secured by
substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries. Borrowings
under the revolving line of credit are limited to the balance of eligible
accounts receivable and inventory, and accrue interest at the prime rate with
certain LIBOR alternatives. The term loan is payable in quarterly principal
installments of $32,000 together with accrued interest at 8.4% per annum.
Borrowings under the revolving line of credit mature in April 2002 and the term
loan matures in May 2003. The credit agreement includes covenants which among
other things, require the maintenance of specified financial ratios, restrict
payments of dividends and limit the amount of capital expenditures. The Company
was in compliance with all covenants at September 30, 2000. Subsequent to
September 30, 2000, the Company amended the credit agreement to increase the
line of credit to $10,000,000.
The scheduled maturities of long-term debt outstanding at September 30, 2000 are
summarized as follows: $128,000 in 2001, $5,328,000 in 2002 and $96,000 in 2003.
(9) CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES
In September 2000, the Company entered into an agreement with two investors (the
"Holders") whereby the Company issued $18,000,000 of the Company's 6%
Convertible Debentures, due September 8, 2004, which are convertible into shares
of the Company's common stock at $9.50 per share. In addition, the Company
issued to the Holders warrants to purchase 378,947 shares of the Company's
common stock, which are exercisable at any time through September 2005 at a
price of $9.80 per share.
F-12
31
The debentures provide for three methods to convert the debentures into shares
of the Company's common stock: (1) conversion at the option of the Holder; (2)
conversion at the option of the Company; and (3) a put option. The conversion
price in effect on any conversion date shall be $9.50 per common share, with the
exception of the put option, as discussed below. In addition, the conversion
ratio is subject to adjustment by an anti-dilution provision with regards to
common share dividends, stock splits, and the granting of stock options and
warrants.
CONVERSION AT THE OPTION OF THE HOLDER
The debentures shall be convertible into shares of common stock at the option of
the Holder at any time following the original issue date. The Holder shall
effect conversions at its option by delivering to the Company the conversion
notice specifying therein the principal amount of debentures to be converted and
the date on which such conversion is to be effected.
CONVERSION AT THE OPTION OF THE COMPANY
The Company may require conversion of all or a portion of the then outstanding
principal amount of the debentures if the per share market value of the
Company's common stock exceeds 150% of the then applicable conversion price for
20 trading days (which need not be consecutive) in a period of 30 consecutive
trading days at any time after registration of the underlying shares, as well as
certain other administrative requirements.
PUT OPTION
The debentures provide for the Holder to put the debentures back to the Company
on either the 270th day or 540th day following the original issue date (the "Put
Dates"). However, 20 days prior to each Put Date, the Company may indicate to
the Holder the maximum amount of cash that the Company will pay upon the Put
Date (the "Maximum Cash Consideration"). If the Holder still elects to put all
or a portion of the debentures, then any amounts in excess of the Maximum Cash
Consideration will convert into shares of common stock at a conversion price
equal to the average of the per share market values for the five trading days
preceding the put date, without regard to the stated conversion price of $9.50
per share.
If the Holder exercises the put option, the Company shall pay the Holder the put
price, up to the Maximum Cash Consideration, within 60 days following the Put
Date (the "Put Payment Date"). If any portion of the Maximum Cash Consideration
of the put price shall not be paid on or prior to the Put Payment Date, then the
Holder shall have the right, no later than 20 trading days following the Put
Payment Date, to either (i) rescind the put notice or (ii) convert all or
portion of the principal amount and interest at a conversion price equal to the
lower of the conversion price and the average of the per share market values
during the ten trading days immediately preceding either the Put Payment Date or
the date the Holder rescinds the put notice, whichever is lower.
As discussed above, the Holders received an aggregate of 378,947 common stock
purchase warrants with an exercise price equal to $9.80 per share, exercisable
at any time prior to the expiration date in September 2005. In addition, the
investment advisors for the transaction received warrants to purchase 189,473
shares of common stock at exercises prices of (i) $10.925 per share as to
157,895 shares and (ii) $11.27 per share as to 31,578 shares.
F-13
32
The Company calculated the fair value attributable to the Holders' detachable
warrants to be $1,155,157, with a corresponding discount recorded against the
carrying value of the debentures. In addition, the Company attributed a fair
value to the investment advisors' warrants of $416,525, which has been recorded
as deferred financing costs within shareholders' equity. Based on the terms of
the debentures, management has determined that no beneficial conversion features
have been granted to the Holders as a result of this agreement.
(10) ACCRUED LIABILITIES
Accrued liabilities consisted of the following at September 30, 2000 and 1999:
2000 1999
----------- -----------
Wages and related benefits ........... $ 1,159,588 $ 822,928

Other ................................ 873,933 145,087
----------- -----------
$ 3,640,264 $ 2,114,314
=========== ===========
(11) WARRANTS
The Company's registration statement covering the offering and sale by selling
shareholders of the common stock underlying all of the Company's then
outstanding warrants was declared effective in 1997. The warrants related to
grants made in connection with debt and equity issues, acquisitions, directors'
remuneration and various services rendered. During the year ended September 30,
2000, warrants to purchase 1,055,692 shares of common stock were exercised
generating proceeds of $995,587.
During the year ended September 30, 2000, the Company issued warrants to
purchase 693,420 shares of common stock at exercise prices ranging from $1.875
to $11.27 (such prices being equal to or greater than the fair market value of
the common stock at the date of the grants) in connection with the issuance of
convertible debentures and for services rendered. At September 30, 2000, the
Company had outstanding warrants to purchase 1,113,420 shares of common stock
which expire at various dates through September 2005. The warrants have exercise
prices ranging from $0.625 to $11.27 per share and, if exercised, would generate
proceeds to the Company of approximately $6,900,000.
(12) EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTION PLANS
The Company adopted a Long-Term Incentive Plan in 1997 (the "1997 Plan")
pursuant to which the Company's Board of Directors may grant stock options to
officers and key employees. The 1997 Plan authorizes grants of options to
purchase up to 1,000,000 shares of common stock. Options are granted with an
exercise price equal to the fair market value of the common stock at the date of
grant. Options granted under the 1997 Plan vest over four-year periods and
expire no later than 10 years from the date of grant. At September 30, 2000,
there were 955,700 options outstanding, and no additional shares available for
grant under the 1997 Plan.
F-14
33
The Company's predecessor employee stock option plan, the 1989 Incentive Stock
Option Plan (the "1989 Plan"), was terminated in June 1999. At the date of
termination of the 1989 Plan, there were outstanding options to purchase 438,250
shares of common stock, of which 230,000 were outstanding at September 30, 2000.
The weighted-average fair value per share of stock options granted during 2000,
1999 and 1998 was $1.17, $.78 and $1.39, respectively, on the date of grant,
using the Black Scholes model with the following assumptions: risk-free interest
rate of 5.16%, expected life of 4 years, expected volatility of 80.63%, and an
expected dividend yield of 0% for the 2000 granted options; risk-free interest
rate of 6.0%, expected life of 4 years, expected volatility of 80.16%, and an
expected dividend yield of 0% for the 1999 granted options; and a risk-free
interest rate of 5.62%, expected life of 4 years, expected volatility of 75.66%,
and an expected dividend yield of 0% for the 1998 granted options.
The Company applied APB Opinion No. 25 in accounting for its Plans and,
accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for its stock options in
the consolidated financial statements. Had the Company determined compensation
cost based on the fair value at the grant date for its stock options under SFAS
No. 123, the Company's net income would have been reduced to the pro forma
amounts indicated as follows:
