TIDEL TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization and Basis of Presentation
Tidel Technologies, Inc. (the Company, we, us, or our) is a Delaware corporation which,
through its wholly owned subsidiaries, develops, manufactures, sells and supports automated teller
machines (ATMs) and electronic cash security systems, consisting of the Timed Access Cash
Controller (TACC) products and the Sentinel products (together, the Cash Security products),
which are designed for the management of cash within various specialty retail markets, primarily in
the United States. Sales of ATM and Cash Security products are generally made on a wholesale basis
to more than 200 distributors and manufacturers representatives. TACC and Sentinel products are
often sold directly to end-users as well as distributors.
The ATM products are low-cost, cash-dispensing automated teller machines that are primarily
designed for the off-premise, or non-bank, markets. We offer a wide variety of options and
enhancements to the ATM products, including custom configurations that dispense cash-value
products, such as coupons, tickets and stored-value cards; accept currency; and perform other
functions, such as check-cashing.
The TACC products are essentially stand-alone safes that dispense cash to an operator in preset
amounts. As a deterrent to robbers, $50 or less in cash is kept in a register at any given time.
When a customer requires change in denominations of $5, $10 and $20 bills, the clerk presses a
button on the TACC for the appropriate denomination and the cash is dispensed in a plastic tube.
The time and frequency it takes to dispense the cash is pre-determined and adjustable so that in
high-risk times of operations, transaction times can be slowed to act as a deterrent against
robberies. When excess cash is collected, the clerk simply places individual bills back into the
plastic tubes and loads them into the TACC for safe storage. Other available features include
envelope drop boxes for excess cash, dollar scanners, state lottery interfaces, touch pads
requiring user PINs for increased transaction accuracy and an audit trail and reporting
capabilities.
The Sentinel products were introduced in 2002. The Sentinel product has all the functionality of
the TACC, but has been designed to also reduce the risk of internal theft and increase in-store
management efficiencies through its state-of-the-art integration with a stores point-of-sale
(POS) and accounting systems
The accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, assuming
we continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of the assets and the
satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business, and are unaudited. In the opinion of
management, the unaudited consolidated interim financial statements include all adjustments,
consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial
position as of June 30, 2005, the statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the
three and nine months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, and the statements of cash flows for the nine
months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004. Although management believes the unaudited interim disclosures
in these consolidated interim financial statements are adequate to make the information presented
not misleading, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual audited
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been
condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC).
The unaudited results of operations for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2005 are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year ending September 30, 2005.
The unaudited consolidated interim financial statements included herein should be read in
conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in
Comprehensive Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2003 and
September 30, 2004 (the 03/04 10-K)
Status of Tidel Technologies, Inc.
Our liquidity was negatively impacted by our inability to collect the outstanding receivables
and claims from CCC; therefore, we were required to seek additional financing, resulting in a
substantial increase in our debt, as discussed below.
On November 25, 2003, we completed a $6,850,000 financing transaction (the Financing) with
Laurus Master Fund, Ltd. (Laurus) pursuant to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement by and
between the Company and Laurus dated as of November 25, 2003 (the 2003 SPA). The Financing was
comprised of a three-year convertible note in the amount of $6,450,000 and a one-year convertible
note in the amount of $400,000, both of which bear interest at a rate of prime plus 2% and were
convertible into our common stock at a conversion price of $0.40 per share. In addition, Laurus
received warrants to purchase 4,250,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.40
per share. The proceeds of the Financing were allocated to the notes and the related warrants based
on the relative fair value of the notes and the warrants, with the value of the warrants resulting
in a discount against the notes. In addition, the conversion terms of the notes result in a
beneficial conversion feature, further discounting the carrying value of the notes.
7
As a result, we will record additional interest charges totaling $6,850,000 over the terms of
the notes related to these discounts. Laurus was also granted registration rights in connection
with the shares of common stock issuable in connection with the Financing. Proceeds from the
Financing in the amount of $6,000,000 were used to fully retire the $18,000,000 in Convertible
Debentures issued to two investors (the Holders) in September 2000, together with all accrued
interest, penalties and fees associated therewith. All of the warrants and Convertible Debentures
held by the Holders were terminated and we recorded a gain from extinguishment of debt of
$18,823,000 (including accrued interest through the date of extinguishment) in fiscal year 2004
related to this Financing. In March 2004, the $400,000 note was repaid in full.
In connection with the closing of the Financing, all outstanding litigation including, without
limitation, the Montrose Litigation, was dismissed, and a revolving credit facility with a bank
(the Revolving Credit Facility) was repaid through the release of the restricted cash used as
collateral for the Revolving Credit Facility. See Part II, Item 7 Managements Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of the 03/04 10-K
In August 2004, Laurus notified us that an Event of Default had occurred and had continued
beyond any applicable grace period as a result of our non-payment of interest and principal on the
$6,450,000 convertible note as required under the terms of the Financing, as well as noncompliance
with certain other covenants of the Financing documents. In exchange for Lauruss waiver of the
Event of Default until September 17, 2004, we agreed, among other things, to lower the conversion
price on the $6,450,000 convertible note and the exercise price of the warrants from $0.40 per
share to $0.30 per share. The reduction in conversion price resulted in an additional discount
against the carrying value of the notes. As a result, we will record additional interest charges
totaling approximately $1,900,000 over the remaining terms of the notes related to the discounts.
On November 26, 2004, we completed a $3,350,000 financing transaction (the Additional
Financing) with Laurus pursuant to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement by and between the
Company and Laurus, dated as of November 26, 2004 (the 2004 SPA). The Additional Financing was
comprised of (i) a three-year convertible note issued to Laurus in the amount of $1,500,000, which
bears interest at a rate of 14% and is convertible into our common stock at a conversion price of
$3.00 per share (the $1,500,000 Note), (ii) a one-year convertible note in the amount of $600,000
which bears interest at a rate of 10% and is convertible into our common stock at a conversion
price of $0.30 per share (the $600,000 Note), (iii) a one-year convertible note of our
subsidiary, Tidel Engineering, L.P., in the amount of $1,250,000, which is a revolving working
capital facility for the purpose of financing purchase orders of our subsidiary, Tidel Engineering,
L.P., (the Purchase Order Note), which bears interest at a rate of 14% and is convertible into
our common stock at a price of $3.00 per share and (iv) our issuance to Laurus of 1,251,000 shares
of common stock, or approximately 7% of the total shares outstanding, (the 2003 Fee Shares) in
satisfaction of fees totaling $375,300 incurred in connection with the convertible term notes
issued in the Financing discussed above. As a result of the issuance of the 2003 Fee Shares, we
recorded an additional charge in fiscal 2004 of $638,010 based on the market value on November 26,
2004. We also increased the principal balance of the original note by $292,987, of which $226,312
bears interest at the default rate of 18%. This amount represents interest accrued but not paid to
Laurus as of August 1, 2004. In addition, Laurus received warrants to purchase 500,000 shares of
our common stock at an exercise price of $0.30 per share. The proceeds of the Additional Financing
were allocated to the notes based on the relative fair value of the notes and the warrants, with
the value of the warrants resulting in a discount against the notes. In addition, the conversion
terms of the $600,000 Note resulted in a beneficial conversion feature, further discounting the
carrying value of the notes. As a result, we will record additional interest charges related to
these discounts totaling $840,000 over the terms of the notes. Laurus was also granted registration
rights in connection with the 2003 Fee Shares and other shares issuable pursuant to the Additional
Financing. The obligations pursuant to the Additional Financing are secured by all of our assets
and are guaranteed by our subsidiaries. Net proceeds from the Additional Financing in the amount of
$3,232,750 were primarily used for (i) general working capital payments made directly to vendors,
(ii) past due interest on Lauruss $6,450,000 convertible note due pursuant to the Financing and
(iii) the establishment of an escrow for future principal and interest payments due pursuant to the
Additional Financing.
THE NOTES AND WARRANTS ISSUED IN THE FINANCING AND THE ADDITIONAL FINANCING ARE CONVERTIBLE
INTO AN AGGREGATE OF 28,226,625 SHARES OF OUR COMMON STOCK AND, WHEN COUPLED WITH THE 2003 FEE
SHARES, REPRESENT APPROXIMATELY 60% OF OUR OUTSTANDING COMMON STOCK SUBJECT TO ADJUSTMENT AS
PROVIDED IN THE TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS. IF THESE NOTES AND WARRANTS WERE COMPLETELY CONVERTED TO
COMMON STOCK BY LAURUS, THEN THE OTHER EXISTING SHAREHOLDERS OWNERSHIP IN THE COMPANY WOULD BE
SIGNIFICANTLY DILUTED TO APPROXIMATELY 40% OF THEIR PRESENT OWNERSHIP POSITION.
In connection with the Financing, Laurus required that we covenant to become current in our
filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission according to a predetermined schedule.
Effective November 26, 2004, the Additional Financing documents require, among other things, that
we provide evidence of filing to Laurus of our fiscal 2003, fiscal 2004 and year-to-date interim
2005 filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission on or before July 31, 2005.
On February 4, 2005, we received a letter from the Securities and Exchange Commission stating
that the Division of Corporate Finance of the SEC would not object to the Company filing a
comprehensive annual report on Form 10-K which covers all of the periods during which it has been a
delinquent filer, together with its filing all Forms 10-Q which are due for quarters subsequent to
the
8
latest fiscal year included in that comprehensive annual report. However, the SEC Letter also
stated that, upon filing such a comprehensive Form 10-K, the Company would not be considered
current for purposes of Regulation S, Rule 144 or filing on Forms S-8, and that the Company would
not be eligible to use Forms S-2 or S-3 until a sufficient history of making timely filings is
established. Laurus consented to the filing of such a comprehensive annual report in satisfaction
of the Filing Requirements mandated on or before July 31, 2005. Laurus also consented to a
modification of the requirement that a Registration Statement be filed within 20 days of
satisfaction of the Filing Requirements to instead require that the Registration Statement be
required to be filed by September 20, 2006.
We filed the fiscal 2002 Form 10-K on February 1, 2005, and we filed the 03/04 10-K, the Form
10-Q for the quarter ending December 31, 2004 and the Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31,
2005 on Monday, August 1, 2005, which was in accordance with the requirements of the Additional
Financing.
Pursuant to the Additional Financing, fourteen (14) days following such time as we became current
in our filings with the SEC, we were required to deliver to Laurus evidence of the listing of our
common stock on the Nasdaq Over The Counter Bulletin Board (the Listing Requirement); however,
Laurus has subsequently extended the delivery date to provide evidence of the satisfaction of the
Listing Requirement to September 15, 2005.
On November 26, 2004, in connection with the Additional Financing, we entered into an
agreement with Laurus (the Asset Sales Agreement) whereby we agreed to pay a fee in the amount of
at least $2,000,000 (the Reorganization Fee) to Laurus upon the occurrence of certain events as
specified below and therein, which Reorganization Fee is secured by all of our assets, and is
guaranteed by our subsidiaries. The Asset Sales Agreement provides that (i) once our obligations to
Laurus have been paid in full (other than the Reorganization Fee), we shall be able to seek
additional financing in the form of a non-convertible bank loan in an aggregate principal amount
not to exceed $4,000,000, subject to Lauruss right of first refusal; (ii) the net proceeds of an
asset sale to the party named therein shall be applied to our obligations to Laurus under the
Financing and the Additional Financing, as described above (collectively, the Obligations), but
not to the Reorganization Fee; and (iii) the proceeds of any of our subsequent sales of equity
interests or assets or of our subsidiaries consummated on or before the fifth anniversary of the
Asset Sales Agreement (each, a Company Sale) shall be applied first to any remaining obligations,
then paid to Laurus pursuant to an increasing percentage of at least 55.5% set forth therein, which
amount shall be applied to the Reorganization Fee. Under this formula, the existing shareholders
could receive less than 45% of the proceeds of any sale of our assets or equity interests, after
payment of the Additional Financing and Reorganization Fee as defined. The Reorganization Fee shall
be $2,000,000 at a minimum, but could equal a higher amount based upon a percentage of the proceeds
of any company sale, as such term is defined in the Asset Sales Agreement. In the event that Laurus
has not received the full amount of the Reorganization Fee on or before the fifth anniversary of
the date of the Asset Sales Agreement, then we shall pay any remaining balance due on the
Reorganization Fee to Laurus. We recorded a $2,000,000 charge in the first quarter of fiscal 2005
to interest expense.
As of June 30, 2005, we had approximately $8,932,988 face value of outstanding debt: $3,720,152
after debt discount of $4,672,836. Of the $8,392,988 total outstanding debt at June 30, 2005,
$6,292,988 represents the outstanding balance of the Financing, and $600,000 and $1,500,000
represent outstanding balances of two term notes in connection with the Additional Financing.
Managements Current Plans with Regard to Our Liquidity Include the Following:
Proposed Sale of ATM Business
We committed to a plan to sell the ATM business during
the first quarter ended December 31, 2004.
On February 19, 2005, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary Tidel Engineering, L.P.
(together with the Company, the Sellers) entered into an asset purchase agreement with NCR Texas
LLC, a single member Delaware limited liability company (NCR Texas) that is a wholly-owned
subsidiary of NCR Corporation, a Maryland corporation, for the sale of our ATM business (the Asset
Purchase Agreement). The purchase price for the ATM business of the Sellers is $10,175,000, plus
the assumption of certain liabilities related to the ATM business and, subject to certain
adjustments as provided in the Asset Purchase Agreement (the Purchase Price). The Purchase Price
is also subject to adjustment based upon the actual value of the assets delivered, to the extent
the value of the assets delivered is 5% greater than or less than a predetermined value as stated
in the Asset Purchase Agreement. The Asset Purchase Agreement contains customary representations,
warranties, covenants and indemnities.
The proceeds of the sale of the Sellers ATM business will be applied towards the repayment of
our outstanding loans from Laurus Master Fund, Ltd. (Laurus). However, even after the application
of net proceeds towards the repayment of the loans, Laurus may continue to hold warrants to
purchase up to 4,750,000 shares of our common stock, and will have a contractual right to receive a
significant percentage, or approximately 60%, of the proceeds of any subsequent sale of all, or
substantially all, of the remaining equity interests and/or other assets of the Company in one or
more transactions, pursuant to the Agreement Regarding NCR Transaction and Other Asset Sales. The
Company has retained Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Inc. to sell the remainder of the Companys
business, as required pursuant to the terms of the Additional Financing, as discussed below.
The closing of the sale of the ATM business pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement is
subject to several conditions, including shareholder approval. The Sellers do not contemplate
seeking shareholder approval until the Company is current in its reporting
9
requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Pursuant to contractual
arrangements with its lenders, the Company is required to be current no later than July 31, 2005,
after which time the Company will commence seeking shareholder approval for this transaction. The
Company believes that the transaction will likely close during the fourth quarter of calendar 2005.
Following the closing of the transactions under the Asset Purchase Agreement, it is
contemplated that approximately 50% of our employees would become employees of NCR Texas, including
up to two executives, subject to their reaching mutually satisfactory agreements with NCR Texas.
Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, until the earlier of the closing of the transactions
contemplated thereby or termination of the Asset Purchase Agreement (the Exclusivity Period), the
Sellers have agreed not to communicate with potential buyers, other than to say that they are
contractually obligated not to respond. The Sellers are obligated to forward any communications to
NCR Texas. In the event that the Sellers breach these provisions, then as provided in the Asset
Purchase Agreement, the Sellers are obligated to pay a $2,000,000 fee to NCR Texas (the Fee).
Also as provided in the Asset Purchase Agreement, under certain limited circumstances the Sellers
may consider an unsolicited offer that our Board of Directors (the Board) deems to be financially
superior. However, immediately following the execution of a definitive agreement for the
transaction contemplated by such superior offer, NCR Texas is to be paid the Fee.
The Asset Purchase Agreement also contains provisions restricting the Sellers from owning or
managing any business similar to the ATM business for a period of five years after the closing of
the transactions contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement. In addition, the agreement contains
provisions restricting the Sellers from soliciting or hiring any employees of NCR Texas for a
period of two years after the closing and restricting NCR Texas from hiring Sellers employees.
We have classified the ATM business as Assets Held for Sale as of June 30, 2005.
Engagement of Investment Banker to Evaluate Strategic Alternatives for the Sale of the Cash
Security Business
During the third quarter of 2005, we committed to a plan to sell the Cash Security Business. We
engaged Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Inc. (Stifel) to assist our Board of Directors in connection
with the proposed sale of our Cash Security business, deliver a fairness opinion, and render such
additional assistance as we may reasonably request in connection with the proposed sale of our Cash
Security business. We are currently working with Stifel in connection with such a proposed sale.
We have classified the Cash Security Business as Assets Held for Sale as of June 30, 2005.
Major Customers and Credit Risk
We generally retain a security interest in the underlying equipment that is sold to customers until
we receive payment in full. We 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 our credit arrangements with them.
The concentration of customers in our market may impact our overall credit exposure, either
positively or negatively, since these customers may be similarly affected by changes in economic or
other conditions. Sales of Sentinel cash security systems are currently to a small number of
customers. The loss of a single customer could have an adverse effect on our net income. During the
three months ended June 30, 2005 and the nine months ended June 30, 2005, we shipped 471 and 1,468,
units respectively, of the Sentinel product to a national convenience store operator. This
generated sales revenue of $3,869,614, or 73%, and $11,780,581, or 71%, of revenues for the three
and nine months ended June 30, 2005 for the Cash Security business.
The majority of our sales during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2005 were to customers
within the United States. Foreign sales accounted for 8% and 10% of our sales during the three and
nine months ended June 30, 2005, respectively. The majority of our sales during the three months
ended June 30, 2004 and nine months ended June 30, 2004 were to customers within the United States.
Foreign sales accounted for 17% and 21% of the our sales during the three months ended June 30,
2004 and nine months ended June 30, 2004, respectively.
In September 2004, our subsidiary entered into separate supply and credit facility agreements (the
Supply Agreement, the Facility Agreement and the Share Warrant Agreement respectively) with a
foreign distributor related to our ATM business. The Supply Agreement required the distributor,
during the initial term of the agreement, to purchase ATMs only from us, effectively making us its
sole supplier of ATMs. During each of the subsequent terms, the distributor is required to purchase
from Tidel not less than 85% of all ATMs purchased by the distributor. The initial term of the
agreement was set as of the earlier of: (i) the expiration or termination of the debenture, (ii) a
termination for default, (iii) the mutual agreement of the parties, and (iv) August 15, 2009.
The Facility Agreement provides a credit facility in an aggregate amount not to exceed $2,280,000
to the distributor with respect to outstanding invoices already issued to the distributor and with
respect to invoices which may be issued in the future related to the purchase of our ATM products.
Repayment of the credit facility is set by schedule for the last day of each month beginning
November
10
2004 and continuing through August 2005. The distributor fell into default due to non-payment
during February 2005. During the first nine months of 2005, we increased the reserve to
approximately $830,000 due to the delinquency of payment for the majority of the invoices issued in
the fiscal year 2005. In July of 2005, we collected a partial payment of approximately $350,000
related to the 2004 billings. This collection reduced the outstanding balance on this facility to
approximately $1,700,000, of which we have reserved a total of $830,000 as of June 30, 2005. We
have also received a commitment from the distributor to submit at least approximately $40,000 per
week commencing August 5, 2005 until the balance is paid in full. We have received the first two
installment payments on time as per the agreement.
The Share Warrant Agreement provides for the issuance to our subsidiary of a warrant to purchase up
to 5% of the issued and outstanding share capital of the distributor. The warrant restricts the
distributor from (i) creating or issuing a new class of stock or allotting additional shares, (ii)
consolidating or altering the shares, (iii) issuing a dividend, (iv) issuing additional warrants
and (v) amending its articles of incorporation. Upon our exercise of the warrant, the distributors
balance outstanding under the Facility Agreement would be reduced by $300,000.
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 No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, provided that
expanded footnote disclosure is presented. We apply APB Opinion No. 25 in accounting for our Plans
and, accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for our stock options in the
consolidated financial statements. Had we determined compensation cost based on the fair value at
the grant date for our stock options and warrants under SFAS No. 123, our net income (loss) would
have been reduced to the pro-forma amounts indicated as follows:

During the nine months ended June 30, 2005, we granted options to purchase 363,810 shares of common
stock to certain employees. The options vest over four years and have an exercise price of $.25 per
share, which was the fair market value on the date of grant. We used the Black-Scholes method,
assuming no dividends, as well as the weighted average assumptions included in the following table:

2. Discontinued Operations (ATM Business)
We committed to a plan to sell the ATM business during the first quarter ended December 31,
2004. On February 19, 2005, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with NCR Texas, a
wholly-owned subsidiary of NCR Corporation, a Maryland corporation, for the sale of our ATM
business. We have classified the ATM business as a discontinued operation since that time,
including for the comparative periods in the prior year. This division manufactures and sells
automated teller machines primarily in the United States. The results of this operation are
reflected as Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale on the accompanying balance sheets and segregated
on the accompanying statements of operations as income or loss from discontinued operations on
pages 3 and 4, respectively. The proceeds of the sale of the Sellers ATM business will be applied
towards the repayment of our outstanding loans from Laurus. Even after the application of
net proceeds towards the repayment of the loans, our lender may continue to hold warrants to
purchase up to 4,750,000 shares of our common stock, and will have a contractual right to receive a
significant percentage of the proceeds of any subsequent sale of all, or substantially all, of our
equity interests and/or other assets in one or more transactions, pursuant to the Asset Sales
Agreement.
11
The ATM products are low-cost, cash-dispensing automated teller machines that are primarily
designed for the off-premise, or non-bank, markets. We offer a wide variety of options and
enhancements to the ATM products, including custom configurations that dispense cash-value
products, such as coupons, tickets and stored-value cards; accept currency; and perform other
functions, such as check-cashing.
The sale of the ATM Business is expected to be consummated after fiscal year ended September 30,
2005.
An analysis of the discontinued operations of the ATM Business is as follows:

3. Discontinued Operations (Cash Security Business)
12
We committed to a plan to sell the Cash Security Business during the third quarter ended June 30,
2005. We have classified the Cash Security Business as a discontinued operation as of June 30,
2005, including for the comparative periods in the prior year.
The TACC products are essentially stand-alone safes that dispense cash to an operator in preset
amounts. As a deterrent to robbers, $50 or less in cash is kept in a register at any given time.
When a customer requires change in denominations of $5, $10 and $20 bills, the clerk presses a
button on the TACC for the appropriate denomination and the cash is dispensed in a plastic tube.
The time and frequency it takes to dispense the cash is pre-determined and adjustable so that in
high-risk times of operations, transaction times can be slowed to act as a deterrent against
robberies. When excess cash is collected, the clerk simply places individual bills back into the
plastic tubes and loads them into the TACC for safe storage. Other available features include
envelope drop boxes for excess cash, dollar scanners, state lottery interfaces, touch pads
requiring user PINs for increased transaction accuracy and an audit trail and reporting
capabilities.
The Sentinel products were introduced in 2002. The Sentinel product has all the functionality of
the TACC, but has been designed to also reduce the risk of internal theft and increase in-store
management efficiencies through its state-of-the-art integration with a stores point-of-sale
(POS) and accounting systems.
The sale of the Cash Security Business is expected to be consummated after the fiscal year ended
September 30, 2005.
An analysis of the discontinued operations of the Cash Security Business is as follows:

4. Long-term debt
On November 25, 2003, we completed the Financing with Laurus, and we completed the Additional
Financing on November 26, 2004 with Laurus in order to meet our current liquidity needs.
As of June 30, 2005, we had approximately $8,932,988 face value of outstanding debt: $3,720,152
after debt discount of $4,672,836. Of the $8,392,988 total outstanding debt at June 30, 2005,
$6,292,988 represents the outstanding balance of the Financing, and $600,000 and $1,500,000
represent outstanding balances of two term notes in connection with the Additional Financing.
As of August 19, 2005, we also have $1,250,000 available for borrowing under the Purchase Order
Note through November 26, 2005. There can be no assurance that our current financing facilities
will be sufficient to meet our current working capital needs or that we will have sufficient
working capital in the future.
THE NOTES AND WARRANTS ISSUED IN THE FINANCING AND THE ADDITIONAL FINANCING ARE CONVERTIBLE INTO AN
AGGREGATE OF 28,226,625 SHARES OF OUR COMMON STOCK AND, WHEN COUPLED WITH THE 1,251.000 SHARES
ISSUED TO LAURUS IN CONNECTION WITH THE ADDITIONAL FINANCING, REPRESENT APPROXIMATELY 60% OF OUR
OUTSTANDING COMMON STOCK SUBJECT TO ADJUSTMENT AS PROVIDED IN THE TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS. IF THESE
NOTES AND WARRANTS WERE COMPLETELY CONVERTED TO COMMON STOCK BY LAURUS, THEN THE OTHER EXISTING
SHAREHOLDERS OWNERSHIP IN THE COMPANY WOULD BE SIGNIFICANTLY DILUTED TO APPROXIMATELY 40% OF THEIR
PRESENT OWNERSHIP POSITION.
In connection with the Financing, Laurus required that we covenant to become current in our filings
with the SEC according to a predetermined schedule. Effective November 26, 2004, the Additional
Financing documents require, among other things, that we provide evidence of filing to Laurus of
our fiscal 2003, fiscal 2004 and year-to-date interim 2005 filings with the SEC on or before July
31, 2005.
On February 4, 2005, we received a letter from the SEC stating that the Division of Corporate
Finance of the SEC would not object to our filing a comprehensive annual report on Form 10-K which
covers all of the periods during which it has been a delinquent filer, together with its filing all
Forms 10-Q which are due for quarters subsequent to the latest fiscal year included in that
comprehensive annual report. However, the SEC Letter also stated that, upon filing such a
comprehensive Form 10-K, we would not be considered current for purposes of Regulation S, Rule
144 or filing on Forms S-8, and that we would not be eligible to use Forms S-2 or S-3 until a
sufficient history of making timely filings is established. Laurus consented to the filing of such
a comprehensive annual report in satisfaction of the Filing Requirements mandated on or before July
31, 2005. Laurus also consented to a modification of the requirement that a registration statement
be filed within 20 days of satisfaction of the Filing Requirements to instead require that the
registration statement be filed by September 20, 2006.
We filed the fiscal 2002 Form 10-K on February 1, 2005, and we filed the 03/04 10-K, the Form
10-Q for the quarter ending December 31, 2004 and the Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31,
2005 on Monday, August 1, 2005, which was in accordance with the requirements of the Additional
Financing.
Pursuant to the Additional Financing, fourteen (14) days following such time as we became current
in our filings with the SEC, we were required to deliver to Laurus evidence of the listing of our
common stock on the Nasdaq Over The Counter Bulletin Board (the Listing Requirement); however,
Laurus has subsequently extended the delivery date to provide evidence of the satisfaction of the
Listing Requirement to September 15, 2005.

Earnings per share data for all periods presented have been computed pursuant to SFAS No. 128,
Earnings Per Share that requires a presentation of basic earnings per share (basic EPS) and
diluted earnings per share (diluted EPS). Basic EPS excludes dilution and is determined by dividing
income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
during the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities and
other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common. As of June 30, 2005,
we had outstanding options covering an aggregate of 1,100,560 shares of common stock, of which
683,500 shares were exercisable. We also had outstanding warrants covering an aggregate of
6,079,473 shares of common stock. Excluded from the computation of diluted EPS for the three and
nine months ended June 30, 2005 are options to purchase 1,100,560 shares to purchase common stock
at a weighted average of $1.22 per share and 6,079,473 warrants, with a remaining exercise price
ranging from $0.30 to $0.40, as they would be anti-dilutive. Excluded from the computation of
diluted EPS for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2004 are options to purchase 736,000
shares to purchase common stock at a weighted average of $1.70 per share. Excluded from
computation of diluted EPS for the three months ended June 30, 2004 are 4,890,000 warrants, with a
remaining exercise price ranging from $0.30 to $0.45, as they would also be anti-dilutive. Diluted
EPS for the nine months ended June 30, 2004 include 23,512,809 common stock equivalents which
include 21,500,000 shares related to convertible debt and 2,012,809 shares related to outstanding
warrants.
6. Shareholders Equity
Existing shareholders ownership in the Company will be significantly diluted due to outstanding
warrants. The notes and warrants issued in the Financing and the Additional Financing are
convertible into an aggregate of 28,226,625 shares of our common stock and, when coupled with the
2003 Fee Shares represent approximately 60% of our outstanding common stock, subject to adjustment
as provided in the transaction documents. If these notes and warrants were completely converted to
common stock by Laurus, then the other existing shareholders ownership in the Company would be
significantly diluted to approximately 40% of their present ownership position.
During the nine months ended June 30, 2005, we issued 2,000,000 shares of our common stock related
to a settlement of a class action litigation. In addition, we issued 1,251,000 shares of our common
stock to Laurus related to settlement of late filing penalties (the 2003 Fee Shares). As of
September 30, 2004, we accrued $1,564,490 for the settlement of the class action litigation and
$638,010 for the settlement of the late filing penalties.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATION
You should read the following discussion and analysis together with our consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto and the discussion Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations and Cautionary Statements included in our 2004 Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the Fiscal Years Ended September 30, 2003 and September 30, 2004 (the 03/04
Annual Report). The following information contains forward-looking statements, which are subject
to risks and uncertainties. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, actual
results may differ from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.
General
Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on generating sufficient cash flows from
operations for meeting our liquidity needs, servicing our debt requirements and meeting financial
covenants. Also, our inability to collect outstanding receivables continues to impact our
liquidity. On November 25, 2003, we completed a $6,850,000 financing transaction with Laurus Master
Fund, Ltd. (Laurus), and we completed an additional $3,350,000 financing transaction.
15
On November 25, 2003, we completed a $6,850,000 financing transaction (the Financing) with
Laurus Master Fund, Ltd. (Laurus) pursuant to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement by and
between the Company and Laurus dated as of November 25, 2003 (the 2003 SPA). The Financing was
comprised of a three-year convertible note in the amount of $6,450,000 and a one-year convertible
note in the amount of $400,000, both of which bear interest at a rate of prime plus 2% and were
convertible into our common stock at a conversion price of $0.40 per share. In addition, Laurus
received warrants to purchase 4,250,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.40
per share. The proceeds of the Financing were allocated to the notes and the related warrants based
on the relative fair value of the notes and the warrants, with the value of the warrants resulting
in a discount against the notes. In addition, the conversion terms of the notes result in a
beneficial conversion feature, further discounting the carrying value of the notes. As a result, we
will record additional interest charges totaling $6,850,000 over the terms of the notes related to
these discounts. Laurus was also granted registration rights in connection with the shares of
common stock issuable in connection with the Financing. Proceeds from the Financing in the amount
of $6,000,000 were used to fully retire the $18,000,000 in Convertible Debentures issued to two
investors (the Holders) in September 2000, together with all accrued interest, penalties and fees
associated therewith. All of the warrants and Convertible Debentures held by the Holders were
terminated and we recorded a gain from extinguishment of debt of $18,823,000 (including accrued
interest through the date of extinguishment) in fiscal year 2004 related to this Financing. In
March 2004, the $400,000 note was repaid in full.
In connection with the closing of the Financing, all outstanding litigation including, without
limitation, the Montrose Litigation, was dismissed, and a revolving credit facility with a bank
(the Revolving Credit Facility) was repaid through the release of the restricted cash used as
collateral for the Revolving Credit Facility. See Part II, Item 7 Managements Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of the 03/04 10-K
In August 2004, Laurus notified us that an Event of Default had occurred and had continued
beyond any applicable grace period as a result of our non-payment of interest and principal on the
$6,450,000 convertible note as required under the terms of the Financing, as well as noncompliance
with certain other covenants of the Financing documents. In exchange for Lauruss waiver of the
Event of Default until September 17, 2004, we agreed, among other things, to lower the conversion
price on the $6,450,000 convertible note and the exercise price of the warrants from $0.40 per
share to $0.30 per share. The reduction in conversion price resulted in an additional discount
against the carrying value of the notes. As a result, we will record additional interest charges
totaling approximately $1,900,000 over the remaining terms of the notes related to the discounts.
On November 26, 2004, we completed a $3,350,000 financing transaction (the Additional
Financing) with Laurus pursuant to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement by and between the
Company and Laurus, dated as of November 26, 2004 (the 2004 SPA). The Additional Financing was
comprised of (i) a three-year convertible note issued to Laurus in the amount of $1,500,000, which
bears interest at a rate of 14% and is convertible into our common stock at a conversion price of
$3.00 per share (the $1,500,000 Note), (ii) a one-year convertible note in the amount of $600,000
which bears interest at a rate of 10% and is convertible into our common stock at a conversion
price of $0.30 per share (the $600,000 Note), (iii) a one-year convertible note of our
subsidiary, Tidel Engineering, L.P., in the amount of $1,250,000, which is a revolving working
capital facility for the purpose of financing purchase orders of our subsidiary, Tidel Engineering,
L.P., (the Purchase Order Note), which bears interest at a rate of 14% and is convertible into
our common stock at a price of $3.00 per share and (iv) our issuance to Laurus of 1,251,000 shares
of common stock, or approximately 7% of the total shares outstanding, (the 2003 Fee Shares) in
satisfaction of fees totaling $375,300 incurred in connection with the convertible term notes
issued in the Financing discussed above. As a result of the issuance of the 2003 Fee Shares, we
recorded an additional charge in fiscal 2004 of $638,010 based on the market value on November 26,
2004. We also increased the principal balance of the original note by $292,987, of which $226,312
bears interest at the default rate of 18%. This amount represents interest accrued but not paid to
Laurus as of August 1, 2004. In addition, Laurus received warrants to purchase 500,000 shares of
our common stock at an exercise price of $0.30 per share. The proceeds of the Additional Financing
were allocated to the notes based on the relative fair value of the notes and the warrants, with
the value of the warrants resulting in a discount against the notes. In addition, the conversion
terms of the $600,000 Note resulted in a beneficial conversion feature, further discounting the
carrying value of the notes. As a result, we will record additional interest charges related to
these discounts totaling $840,000 over the terms of the notes. Laurus was also granted registration
rights in connection with the 2003 Fee Shares and other shares issuable pursuant to the Additional
Financing. The obligations pursuant to the Additional Financing are secured by all of our assets
and are guaranteed by our subsidiaries. Net proceeds from the Additional Financing in the amount of
$3,232,750 were primarily used for (i) general working capital payments made directly to vendors,
(ii) past due interest on Lauruss $6,450,000 convertible note due pursuant to the Financing and
(iii) the establishment of an escrow for future principal and interest payments due pursuant to the
Additional Financing.
THE NOTES AND WARRANTS ISSUED IN THE FINANCING AND THE ADDITIONAL FINANCING ARE CONVERTIBLE
INTO AN AGGREGATE OF 28,226,625 SHARES OF OUR COMMON STOCK AND, WHEN COUPLED WITH THE 2003 FEE
SHARES, REPRESENT APPROXIMATELY 60% OF OUR OUTSTANDING COMMON STOCK SUBJECT TO ADJUSTMENT AS
PROVIDED IN THE TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS. IF THESE NOTES AND WARRANTS WERE COMPLETELY CONVERTED TO
COMMON STOCK BY LAURUS, THEN THE OTHER EXISTING SHAREHOLDERS OWNERSHIP IN THE COMPANY WOULD BE
SIGNIFICANTLY DILUTED TO APPROXIMATELY 40% OF THEIR PRESENT OWNERSHIP POSITION.
16
In connection with the Financing, Laurus required that we covenant to become current in our
filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission according to a predetermined schedule.
Effective November 26, 2004, the Additional Financing documents require, among other things, that
we provide evidence of filing to Laurus of our fiscal 2003, fiscal 2004 and year-to-date interim
2005 filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission on or before July 31, 2005.
We filed the fiscal 2002 Form 10-K on February 1, 2005, and we filed the 03/04 10-K, the Form
10-Q for the quarter ending December 31, 2004 and the Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31,
2005 on Monday, August 1, 2005, which was in accordance with the requirements of the Additional
Financing.
Pursuant to the Additional Financing, fourteen (14) days following such time as we became current
in our filings with the SEC, we were required to deliver to Laurus evidence of the listing of our
common stock on the Nasdaq Over The Counter Bulletin Board (the Listing Requirement); however,
Laurus has subsequently extended the delivery date to provide evidence of the satisfaction of the
Listing Requirement to September 15, 2005.
On November 26, 2004, in connection with the Additional Financing, we entered into an
agreement with Laurus (the Asset Sales Agreement) whereby we agreed to pay a fee in the amount of
at least $2,000,000 (the Reorganization Fee) to Laurus upon the occurrence of certain events as
specified below and therein, which Reorganization Fee is secured by all of our assets, and is
guaranteed by our subsidiaries. The Asset Sales Agreement provides that (i) once our obligations to
Laurus have been paid in full (other than the Reorganization Fee), we shall be able to seek
additional financing in the form of a non-convertible bank loan in an aggregate principal amount
not to exceed $4,000,000, subject to Lauruss right of first refusal; (ii) the net proceeds of an
asset sale to the party named therein shall be applied to our obligations to Laurus under the
Financing and the Additional Financing, as described above (collectively, the Obligations), but
not to the Reorganization Fee; and (iii) the proceeds of any of our subsequent sales of equity
interests or assets or of our subsidiaries consummated on or before the fifth anniversary of the
Asset Sales Agreement (each, a Company Sale) shall be applied first to any remaining obligations,
then paid to Laurus pursuant to an increasing percentage of at least 55.5% set forth therein, which
amount shall be applied to the Reorganization Fee. Under this formula, the existing shareholders
could receive less than 45% of the proceeds of any sale of our assets or equity interests, after
payment of the Additional Financing and Reorganization Fee as defined. The Reorganization Fee shall
be $2,000,000 at a minimum, but could equal a higher amount based upon a percentage of the proceeds
of any company sale, as such term is defined in the Asset Sales Agreement. In the event that Laurus
has not received the full amount of the Reorganization Fee on or before the fifth anniversary of
the date of the Asset Sales Agreement, then we shall pay any remaining balance due on the
Reorganization Fee to Laurus. We recorded a $2,000,000 charge in the first quarter of fiscal 2005
to interest expense.
As of June 30, 2005, we had approximately $8,932,988 face value of outstanding debt: $3,720,152
after debt discount of $4,672,836. Of the $8,392,988 total outstanding debt at June 30, 2005,
$6,292,988 represents the outstanding balance of the Financing, and $600,000 and $1,500,000
represent outstanding balances of two term notes in connection with the Additional Financing.
Managements Current Plans with Regard to Our Liquidity Include the Following:
Proposed Sale of ATM Business
We committed to a plan to sell the ATM business during the first quarter ended December 31, 2004.
On February 19, 2005, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary Tidel Engineering, L.P. (together
with the Company, the Sellers) entered into an asset purchase agreement with NCR Texas LLC, a
single member Delaware limited liability company (NCR) that is a wholly-owned subsidiary of NCR
Corporation, a Maryland corporation, for the sale of the registrants ATM business (the Asset
Purchase Agreement). The purchase price for our ATM business is $10,175,000 plus the assumption of
certain liabilities related to the ATM business and subject to certain adjustments as provided in
the Asset Purchase Agreement (the Purchase Price). The Purchase Price is also subject to
adjustment based upon the actual value of the assets delivered, to the extent the value of the
assets delivered is 5% greater than or less than a predetermined value as stated in the Asset
Purchase Agreement.
17
The Asset Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants and
indemnities. The proceeds of the sale of the Sellers ATM business will be applied towards the
repayment of our outstanding loans from Laurus. We have classified the ATM business as Assets Held
for Sale as of June 30, 2005.
The ATM products are low-cost, cash-dispensing automated teller machines that are primarily
designed for the off-premise, or non-bank, markets. We offer a wide variety of options and
enhancements to the ATM products, including custom configurations that dispense cash-value
products, such as coupons, tickets and stored-value cards; accept currency; and perform other
functions, such as check-cashing
Engagement of Investment Banker to Evaluate Strategic Alternatives for the Sale of the Cash
Security Business
During the third quarter of 2005, we committed to a plan to sell the Cash Security Business. We
engaged Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Inc. (Stifel) to assist our Board of Directors in connection
with the proposed sale of our Cash Security business, deliver a fairness opinion, and render such
additional assistance as we may reasonably request in connection with the proposed sale of our Cash
Security business. We are currently working with Stifel in connection with such a proposed sale.
We have classified the Cash Security Business as Assets Held for Sale as of June 30, 2005.
The TACC products are essentially stand-alone safes that dispense cash to an operator in preset
amounts. As a deterrent to robbers, $50 or less in cash is kept in a register at any given time.
When a customer requires change in denominations of $5, $10 and $20 bills, the clerk presses a
button on the TACC for the appropriate denomination and the cash is dispensed in a plastic tube.
The time and frequency it takes to dispense the cash is pre-determined and adjustable so that in
high-risk times of operations, transaction times can be slowed to act as a deterrent against
robberies. When excess cash is collected, the clerk simply places individual bills back into the
plastic tubes and loads them into the TACC for safe storage. Other available features include
envelope drop boxes for excess cash, dollar scanners, state lottery interfaces, touch pads
requiring user PINs for increased transaction accuracy and an audit trail and reporting
capabilities.
The Sentinel products were introduced in 2002. The Sentinel product has all the functionality of
the TACC, but has been designed to also reduce the risk of internal theft and increase in-store
management efficiencies through its state-of-the-art integration with a stores point-of-sale
(POS) and accounting systems
Critical Accounting Policies
This discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our
consolidated financial statements. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate
our estimates, including those related to bad debts, inventories, intangible assets, assets held
for sale, long-lived assets, income taxes, and contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates
on historical experience and on various other assumptions and factors that we believe to be
reasonable under the circumstances. Based on our ongoing review, we make adjustments we consider
appropriate under the facts and circumstances. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial
statements are prepared using the same critical accounting policies discussed in our 03/04 Annual
Report.

Quarter Ended June 30, 2005 Compared to the Quarter Ended June 30, 2004
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 was $652,007.
This is an increase approximately 100% from the same quarter of the previous year. This is
primarily related to costs associated with becoming current with our SEC filings, accounting,
legal, and audit-related costs, and costs associated with our marketing efforts.
Depreciation and amortization for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 was $1,421 and $1,274,
respectively.
Interest
expense, was $1,160,459 for the quarter ended June 30, 2005, compared to $642,450 for the
same quarter of the previous year. This is as a result of increased level of debt related to the
Financing and Additional Financing.
Income tax expense (benefit). In assessing the realizability of deferred tax asset, management
considers whether it is more likely than not some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be
realized. We have established a valuation allowance for such deferred tax assets to the extent such
amounts are not utilized to offset existing deferred tax liabilities reversing in the same periods.
We recorded a net loss from continuing operations of $(1,813,887) and $(768,244) for the quarters
ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
Nine Months Ended June 30, 2005 Compared to the Nine Months Ended June 30, 2004
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended June 30, 2005 was
$1,334,541. This is an increase of approximately 38% from the same period last year. This is
primarily related to costs associated with becoming current with our SEC filings, accounting, legal
fees , and audit-related costs.
Depreciation and amortization for the nine months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 were $3,592 and
$5,012, respectively.
Interest expense net of interest income, was $5,399,974 for the nine months ended June 30, 2005
compared with $2,444,856 for the same period of the previous year. This is as a result of increased
level of debt and amortization of the debt discount related to the Financing and Additional
Financing.
Income tax expense (benefit). In assessing the realizability of deferred tax asset, management
considers whether it is more likely than not some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be
realized. We have established a valuation allowance for such deferred tax assets to the extent such
amounts are not utilized to offset existing deferred tax liabilities reversing in the same periods.
We recorded a net loss from continuing operations of $(6,738,107) and a net income of $17,406,110
for the nine months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The significant decrease in
operating income is primarily due to a gain on extinguishment of debt of $18,823,000 and a gain on
the sale of securities of $1,918,012 during the nine months ended June 30, 2004.
Discontinued Operations (ATM Business)
We committed to a plan to sell the ATM business during the first quarter ended December 31,
2004. On February 19, 2005, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary Tidel Engineering, L.P.
(together with the Company, the Sellers) entered into an asset purchase agreement with NCR Texas
LLC, a single member Delaware limited liability company (NCR) that is a wholly-owned subsidiary
of NCR Corporation, a Maryland corporation, for the sale of the registrants ATM business (the
Asset Purchase Agreement). The purchase price for our ATM business is $10,175,000 plus the
assumption of certain liabilities related to the ATM business and subject to certain adjustments as
provided in the Asset Purchase Agreement (the Purchase Price). The Purchase Price is also subject
to adjustment based upon the actual value of the assets delivered, to the extent the value of the
assets delivered is 5% greater than or less than a predetermined value as stated in the Asset
Purchase Agreement. The Asset Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties,
covenants and indemnities. The proceeds of the sale of the Sellers ATM business will be applied
towards the repayment of our outstanding loans from Laurus. We have classified the ATM business as
Assets Held for Sale as of June 30, 2005.
The ATM products are low-cost, cash-dispensing automated teller machines that are primarily
designed for the off-premise, or non-bank, markets. We offer a wide variety of options and
enhancements to the ATM products, including custom configurations that dispense cash-value
products, such as coupons, tickets and stored-value cards; accept currency; and perform other
functions, such as check-cashing

Net Sales from the ATM business were $4,734,044 for the three months ended June 30, 2005,
representing an increase of 52% from net sales of $3,123,145 in the same period last year. The
increase was a result of increased sales of ATM machines. We sold 1,303 ATM units and 724 ATM
units for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and June 30, 2004 respectively, an increase of 579
units. The improvement is primarily related to an increase in confidence from our long time

quarter a year ago. However, Gross profit as a percentage of sales was 22% in the quarter ended
June 30, 2005, compared with 26 % in the same quarter last year. The decrease in gross margin as a
percentage of sales is primarily related to the current competitive market conditions.

compared with the same quarter of the previous year. The increase is primarily related to costs
associated with our marketing efforts.
Depreciation and amortization for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 was $48,355 and $90,195,
respectively.
The ATM business recorded a loss of $(332,911) and $(415,304) for the three months ended June 30,

21
Nine Months Ended June 30, 2005 Compared to the Nine Months Ended June 30, 2004

related to two significant customers.
Depreciation and amortization for the nine months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 were $194,281 and
$361,803, respectively. The decrease is a result of assets becoming fully depreciated during 2005.
The results of operations of the ATM business are segregated on the accompanying statements of
operations as income or loss from discontinued operations, and reflected as Assets and Liabilities
Held for Sale on the accompanying balance sheets.
The sale of the ATM business is expected to be consummated after the fiscal year ended September
30, 2005.
Discontinued Operations (Cash Security Business)
We committed to a plan to sell the Cash Security Business during the third quarter ended June
30, 2005. We have classified the Cash Security Business product as a discontinued operation as of
June 30, 2005, including for the comparative period in the prior year.
We engaged Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Inc. (Stifel) in October 2004, to assist the Board of
Directors in connection with the proposed sale of our Cash Security business, deliver a fairness
opinion, and render such additional assistance as we may reasonably request in connection with the
proposed sale of our Cash Security business. We are currently working with Stifel in connection
with such a proposed sale. We have classified the Cash Security Business as Assets Held for Sale
as of June 30, 2005.
The TACC products are essentially stand-alone safes that dispense cash to an operator in preset
amounts. As a deterrent to robbers, $50 or less in cash is kept in a register at any given time.
When a customer requires change in denominations of $5, $10 and $20 bills, the clerk presses a
button on the TACC for the appropriate denomination and the cash is dispensed in a plastic tube.
The time and frequency it takes to dispense the cash is pre-determined and adjustable so that in
high-risk times of operations, transaction times can be slowed to act as a deterrent against
robberies. When excess cash is collected, the clerk simply places individual bills back into the
plastic tubes and loads them into the TACC for safe storage. Other available features include
envelope drop boxes for excess cash, dollar scanners, state lottery interfaces, touch pads
requiring user PINs for increased transaction accuracy and an audit trail and reporting
capabilities.
The Sentinel products were introduced in 2002. The Sentinel product has all the functionality of
the TACC, but has been designed to also reduce the risk of internal theft and increase in-store
management efficiencies through its state-of-the-art integration with a stores point-of-sale
(POS) and accounting systems.
An analysis of the discontinued operations of the Cash Security Business is as follows:

$14,748, respectively.
The results of operations of the Cash Security Business are segregated on the accompanying
statements of operations as income or loss from discontinued operations, and reflected as Assets
and Liabilities Held for Sale on the accompanying balance sheets.
The sale of the Cash Security Business is expected to be consummated after the fiscal year ended
September 30, 2005.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
General
Our liquidity has been negatively impacted by our inability to collect outstanding receivables and
claims as a result of CCCs bankruptcy, the inability to collect outstanding receivables from
certain customers, under-absorbed fixed costs associated with the production facilities, and
reduced sales of our products resulting from general difficulties in the ATM market. In order to
meet our liquidity needs during the past three years, we have incurred a substantial amount of
debt.
Cash used by continuing operations was $(930,281) for the nine months ended June 30, 2005 compared
to cash used in continuing operations of $(1,173,536) for the nine months ended June 30, 2004. Cash
used in continuing operations is primarily attributable to corporate overhead costs.
Cash used by continuing investing activities was $(11,566) for the nine months ended June 30, 2005
compared to cash provided by continuing investing activities of $2,451,444 for same period of 2004.
The decrease is primarily related to the gain from sale of securities of $2,451,444 during the nine
months ended June 30, 2004.
Cash provided by continuing financing activities was $1,444,433 for the nine months ended June 30,
2005 compared with cash used of ($320,765) for the same period last year. The increase primarily
related to the Additional Financing.
Cash provided by discontinued operations was $2,571,495 for the nine months ended June 30, 2005
compared with cash used of ($1,406,817) for the same period last year. The is primarily related to
the increase sales and collection of the receivables in both the ATM business and the Cash Security
business.
After several months of unsuccessful efforts to remedy its financial difficulties, CCC filed for
protection under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code on June 6, 2001. At that time, we
had accounts and a note receivable due from CCC totaling approximately $27 million. The proceeding
was subsequently converted to a Chapter 7 proceeding and a Trustee was appointed in April 2002. We
have written off substantially all of the $24.1 million owed to us by CCC against the remaining
balance of the note and trade accounts receivable, resulting in a $250,000 balance in accounts
receivable as of December 31, 2004. Our management intends to continue monitoring this matter and
to take all actions that it determines to be necessary based upon its findings. Our liquidity was
negatively impacted by our inability to collect the outstanding receivables and claims from CCC.
As of June 30, 2005, we had approximately $8,932,988 face value of outstanding debt: $3,720,152
after debt discount of $4,672,836. Of the $8,392,988 total outstanding debt at June 30, 2005,
$6,292,988 represents the outstanding balance of the Financing, and $600,000 and $1,500,000
represent outstanding balances of two term notes in connection with the Additional Financing.
As of August 19, 2005, we also have $1,250,000 available for borrowing under the Purchase Order
Note through November 26, 2005. There can be no assurance that our current financing facilities
will be sufficient to meet our current working capital needs or that we will have sufficient
working capital in the future.
24
This, coupled with increasing debt, has continued to negatively impact our financial condition. If
the operating conditions do not improve, there can be no assurance we will continue operations. If
we need to seek additional financing, there can be no assurances that we will obtain such
additional financing for working capital purposes. The failure to obtain such additional financing
could cause a material adverse effect upon our financial condition
Notes and Warrants
THE NOTES
AND WARRANTS ISSUED IN THE FINANCING AND THE ADDITIONAL FINANCING ARE CONVERTIBLE INTO AN
AGGREGATE OF 28,226,625 SHARES OF OUR COMMON STOCK, AND, WHEN COUPLED WITH THE 1,251,000 SHARES
ISSUED TO LAURUS IN CONNECTION WITH ADDITIONAL FINANCING, REPRESENT APPROXIMATELY 60% OF OUR
OUTSTANDING COMMON STOCK, SUBJECT TO ADJUSTMENT AS PROVIDED IN THE TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS. IF THESE
NOTES AND WARRANTS WERE COMPLETELY CONVERTED TO COMMON STOCK BY LAURUS, THEN THE OTHER EXISTING
SHAREHOLDERS OWNERSHIP IN THE COMPANY WOULD BE SIGNIFICANTLY DILUTED TO APPROXIMATELY 40% OF THEIR
PRESENT OWNERSHIP POSITION.
Claims and Litigation
As discussed in our 03/04 Annual Report, Corporate Safe Specialists, Inc. (CSS) filed a lawsuit
against Tidel Technologies, Inc. and Tidel Engineering, L.P. Subsequently, Tidel Technologies,
Inc. was released from this lawsuit, but Tidel Engineering, L.P. remains a defendant. We continue
to vigorously defend this litigation as well as vigorously pursue the declaratory judgment action
pending in the Eastern District of Texas.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely
to have, a current or future material effect on our financial condition, net sales or expenses,
results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
Contractual Obligations and Capital Expenditures
We have fixed debt service and lease payment obligations under notes payable and operating leases
for which we have material contractual cash obligations. Interest rates on our debt vary from prime
rate plus 2% to 14%.
The following table summarizes our contractual cash obligations as of June 30, 2005:

Risk Factors
Please see Risk Factors contained in Item 7A of our 03/04 Annual Report.
Forward-Looking Statements
In addition to historical information, Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations include certain forward-looking statements regarding events and financial
trends that may affect our future operating results and financial position. Some important factors
that could cause actual results to differ materially from the anticipated results or other
expectations expressed in our forward-looking statements include the following:
|
|
our substantial current indebtedness continues to adversely affect our financial condition and the availability of cash
to fund our working capital needs; |
|
|
|
our ability to comply with our financial covenants in the future; |
|
|
|
our ability to meet our obligations under the terms of our indebtedness; |
|
|
|
our need for additional financing in the future; |
|
|
|
the potential receipt of an audit opinion with a going concern explanatory paragraph from our independent registered
public accounting firm would likely adversely affect our operations; |
|
|
|
our history of operating losses and our inability to make assurances that we will generate operating income in the future; |
|
|
|
the outcome of the outstanding receivable from CCC; |
25
|
|
the levels of orders which are received and can be shipped in a quarter; |
|
|
|
customer order patterns and seasonality; |
|
|
|
costs of labor, raw materials, supplies and equipment; technological changes; |
|
|
|
the delisting of our common stock from the NASDAQ Small Cap Market, effective as of the close of business on March 26,
2003, and the possibility of devaluation of our common stock as a result; |
|
|
|
the economic condition of the ATM industry and the possibility that it is a mature industry; |
|
|
|
the risks involved in the expansion of our operations into international offshore oil and gas producing areas, where we
have previously not been operating; |
|
|
|
the continued active participation of our executive officers and key operating personnel; |
|
|
|
our compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the significant expansion of securities law regulation of
corporate governance, accounting practices, reporting and disclosure that affects publicly traded companies, particularly
related to Section 404 dealing with our system of internal controls; |
|
|
|
our ability to consummate the asset sale of the ATM Business; and |
|
|
|
our ability to consummate a sale of the Cash Security Business. |
Many of these factors are beyond our ability to control or predict. We caution investors not to
place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. We disclaim any intent or obligation to update
the forward-looking statements contained in this report, whether as a result of receiving new
information, the occurrence of future events or otherwise.
These and other uncertainties related to the business are described in detail under the heading
Cautionary Statements in our 03/04 Annual Report.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
At June 30, 2005, we were exposed to changes in interest rates as a result of significant financing
through our issuance of variable-rate and fixed-rate debt. However, with the retirement of our 6%
subordinated convertible debentures in November 2003, and the associated overall reduction in
outstanding debt balances, our exposure to interest rate risks has significantly decreased. If
market interest rates had increased up to 1% in the first nine months of fiscal 2005, there would
have been no material impact on our consolidated results of operations or financial position.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures
As of June 30, 2005, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with participation of
our management, including our principal executive and financial officers, of the effectiveness of
our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the rules promulgated under
the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. During the audits of the fiscal years ended
September 30, 2004 and 2003, we identified several significant deficiencies in our disclosure
controls and procedures. We have begun to rectify the deficiencies. Based on that evaluation, the
principal executive and financial officers concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures,
considering the aforementioned deficiencies, were effective to provide reasonable assurance that
such disclosure controls and procedures will meet their objectives.
(b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting
There have been no significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting or in other
factors during our most recent fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2005 that has materially affected, or
is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting
Management, including our principal executive and financial officers, does not expect that our
internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and any potential fraud. A
control system can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the
control system are met.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
26
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
As discussed in our 03/04 Annual Report, on June 9, 2005, Corporate Safe Specialists, Inc.
(CSS) filed a lawsuit against Tidel Technologies, Inc. and Tidel Engineering, L.P. The lawsuit,
Civil Action No. 02-C-3421, was filed in the United States District Court of the Northern District
of Illinois, Eastern Division. CSS alleges that the Sentinel product sold by Tidel Engineering,
L.P. infringes one or more patent claims found in CSS patent U.S. Patent No. 6,885,281 (the 281
patent). CSS seeks injunctive relief against future infringement, unspecified damages for past
infringement and attorneys fees and costs.
Subsequently we have filed a motion to dismiss the case CSS filed
in Illinois, and Tidel Engineering, L.P. filed a motion to transfer the Illinois case to the
Eastern District of Texas. On August 15, 2005, The Court ordered the transfer of this case to The
Northern District of Texas. We have also filed a declaratory judgment action pending in the Eastern
District of Texas. In that action, we are asking the Eastern District of Texas to find, among other
things that we have not infringed on CSSs 281 patent. Both companies have also requested that an
injunction be issued by the Eastern District of Texas against CSS for intentional interference with
the sale or bid process for our cash security business. We are vigorously pursuing this declaratory
judgment action.
ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION
On June 22, 2005, we entered into two agreements with Mr. Hudson. The first was a new
employment agreement that terminated his prior employment agreement and provided for his continued
employment with the Company until the earlier of December 31, 2005 or the closing of the
transactions contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement. Under this new employment agreement, Mr.
Hudsons duties and compensation will continue as under his prior employment agreement.
Mr. Hudson and the Company also entered into the Settlement Agreement, which provided for the
settlement of outstanding amounts owed by Mr. Hudson to the Company. In satisfaction of Mr.
Hudsons obligations to the Company, he agreed to (i) the delivery of certain shares of the
Companys common stock held by him for cancellation by the Company; (ii) cancellation by the
Company of the majority of the options to purchase common stock held by him; (iii) application of
certain bonuses (otherwise payable to him) to the payment of his outstanding obligations to the
