                           PAR TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION

                                     PART I

Item 1:  Business

     PAR Technology  Corporation  ("PAR" or the "Company") is a leading provider
of  hardware  platforms,  software  applications  and  professional  services to
businesses in the retail, hospitality and  quick-service-restaurant  industries.
As   the   world's   largest   supplier   of   Point-of-Sale   systems   in  the
quick-service-restaurant  market,  with  over  30,000  systems  installed  in 95
countries,  the  beneficial  attributes  of PAR's  hardware  platforms  are well
recognized.  The  Company's  software  applications  assist in the  operation of
hospitality  and  quick-service-restaurant  businesses  by  managing  data  from
end-to-end and improving  profitability through more efficient  operations.  The
Company's professional services mission is to assist businesses in achieving the
full potential of their Point-of-Sale systems. To that end, the Company provides
services ranging from implementation of and training for such systems to project
management of a business' technology investment.

     PAR is confident  to claim the title  "leading  provider"  of  professional
services and enterprise business intelligence  applications due to our long-term
relationship with the restaurant industry's two largest corporations, McDonald's
and Yum! Brands. McDonald's has over 30,000 restaurants in 121 countries and PAR
has been a selected  provider of  Point-of-Sale  systems and  lifecycle  support
services to McDonald's  since 1980.  Yum!  Brands has been a PAR customer  since
1983, and PAR has an install base within Yum's 3 major concepts:  KFC, Pizza Hut
and Taco Bell. Yum has nearly 31,000 units globally and PAR is the sole approved
Point-of-Sale  supplier to Taco Bell.  PAR is also the  Point-of-Sale  vendor of
choice to Boston Market, Chic-fil-A, CKE Restaurants (Hardees, Carl Jr.'s, etc.)
Carnival  Cruise  Lines,  Loews  Ciniplex and large  franchisees  of each of the
foregoing brands.

     The Company is also a leading government  contractor,  developing  advanced
prototype  and  operational  systems  for the  Department  of Defense  and other
Government agencies.  Additionally,  the Company provides information technology
and communications support services to the U.S. Navy and U.S. Air Force. Through
its  government-sponsored  research and development,  PAR has migrated  relevant
technologies  to commercial  uses.  The Company's  Point-of-Sale  technology was
derived  from  research  and   development   regarding   micro-chip   processing
technology,   sponsored  by  the  Department  of  Defense.   Other  technologies



transferred from government contract work to commercial applications by PAR were
Corneal Topography,  Qscan food-container  inspection and asset tracking through
PAR's Logistics  Management Systems business.  As a government  contractor since
1968, and having expertise and experience  acquired as both prime contractor and
for the U.S. Air Force  Research  Laboratory,  the National  Imagery and Mapping
Agency,  U.S. Navy, U.S. Air Force, U.S. Army,  Department of Transportation and
other  federal  and  state  agencies,  PAR  is a  leading  provider  of  applied
technology and technical  services.  Despite the  competitive  landscape of this
industry,  the Company has carved out a very unique niche of the overall market.
Citing the Company's  experience and growth over the years,  we are confident to
claim our status as a government contractor of choice.

     PAR Technology Corporation's stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange
under the symbol PTC.

     Information  concerning the Company's industry segments for the three years
ended  December 31, 2002 is set forth in Note 12 to the  Consolidated  Financial
Statements included elsewhere herein.

     The Company's corporate  headquarters offices are located at PAR Technology
Park, 8383 Seneca Turnpike, New Hartford, New York 13413-4991,  telephone number
(315)  738-0600.  Our  website  address  is http:  www.partech.com.  Information
contained on our website is not part of this prospectus.

     Unless the context otherwise requires,  the term "PAR" or "Company" as used
herein, means PAR Technology Corporation and its wholly-owned Subsidiaries.

                               Restaurant Segment

     PAR,  through its  wholly-owned  subsidiary,  ParTech,  Inc.,  is a leading
provider of integrated solutions to the quick-service  restaurant industry.  The
Company's  Point-of-Sale (POS) restaurant  management technology integrates both
cutting-edge software applications and the Company's  Pentium(R)-based  hardware
platform.  This restaurant  management system can host fixed as well as wireless
order-entry  terminals,  may include video monitors and/or third-party  supplied
peripherals  networked via an Ethernet LAN, and is accessible to enterprise-wide
network  configurations.  PAR also provides  extensive  systems-integration  and
professional-service capabilities to design, tailor and implement solutions that
enable its  customers to manage,  from a central  location,  all aspects of data
collection and processing for single or multiple site enterprises.

Products

     The technology  requirements of the major restaurant  organizations include
rugged,  reliable  management  systems  capable of receiving,  transmitting  and
coordinating  large  numbers  of  foodservice   orders  for   quick-and-accurate
delivery.  The Company's integrated  management systems permit its Quick Service
Restaurant (QSR) customers to configure their restaurant  technology  systems to
meet their order-entry,  menu,  food-preparation and delivery-coordination needs
while recording all pertinent data concerning the transactions at the respective
restaurant.  PAR's  restaurant  systems  are the  result  of over  25  years  of
experience,  knowledge and an in-depth  understanding of the restaurant  market.
This knowledge and expertise is reflected in the product design,  implementation
capability and systems integration skills.

     Software. PAR's latest generation comprehensive software application is the
iN.fusion  suite,  which consists of three separate  applications:  iNtouch(TM),
iNform(TM) and  iNsite(TM).  The iNtouch product is a robust  application,  that
contains  rich  features  and  functions - such as real-time  mirror  imaging of
critical data,  on-line  graphical help and interactive  diagnostics,  including
real-time monitoring of restaurant operations through user-defined parameters as
well  as  intuitive  graphical  user  interfaces.  In  addition,  iNform,  PAR's
back-office  management  software,  offers a manager's station  application that
includes labor scheduling and inventory management.  The software also maintains
in-store  connectivity  between PAR's hardware  terminals,  remote  printers and
displays,  and back office PCs through an Ethernet LAN. The Company's enterprise
software  application,  iNsite,  is  operational  decisionware  for  the  entire
organization   and  provides   automation   management   reporting  and  process


integration.  The  Company's  additional  POS  software,  GT/Exalt(TM),  is  the
predominant  software in the QSR  industry.  The  capabilities  of GT/Exalt  are
extensive  and  integrate a high degree of  flexibility  for the  transport  and
display of orders in a real-time  fashion and for the design and  integration of
the Company's display data-entry hardware terminals.

     Hardware.  The  Company's  hardware  platform  system,   POS4XP(TM),  is  a
Pentium(R)-designed  system,  developed  to host the most  powerful POS software
applications  of the  restaurant  industry.  POS4XP(TM)'s  design  utilizes open
architecture  with industry  standard  components,  is compatible  with the most
popular operating systems, and was the first POS hardware system to be certified
by Microsoft(R) as Windows(R) NT Compliant(R). POS4XP(TM) supports a distributed
processing  environment  and  incorporates  an  advanced  restaurant  technology
system,  utilizing Intel microprocessors,  standard PC expansion slots, Ethernet
LAN, and standard  Centronics  printer ports as well as USB ports.  The hardware
system  supplies its  industry-standard  components with features for restaurant
applications  such as multiple video ports. The POS system utilizes  distributed
processing  architecture  to  integrate  a broad  range  of PAR and  third-party
peripherals and is designed to withstand the harsh restaurant  environment.  The
hardware  platform has a favorable  price-to-performance  ratio over the life of
the  system  as a result of its PC  compatibility,  ease of  expansion  and high
reliability design.

     The  PAR  LiNKS(TM)   customer-interactive  terminal  offers  an  intuitive
touchscreen  interface which integrates the customer into each transaction.  The
highly-configurable   LiNKS(TM)  design  enables   presentation  of  promotional
advertisements  as well as information  capture,  such as customer  feedback and
signatures.  It also accepts electronic payments from credit and debit cards and
from RF-ID tags.  The  LiNKS(TM)  is  user-friendly  and is built using the same
rugged design, proven technology and software compatibility as PAR's POS4XP(TM).

     Display  terminals  receive and track  customer  orders,  monitor  employee
timekeeping records and provide on-screen production and labor scheduling. PAR's
hardware  terminals are designed with a touchscreen rather than a fixed-position
keyboard, allowing greater flexibility in menu design as well as ease-of-use and
shorter  training time. The POS touch screen  configuration  allows a restaurant
manager to easily reconfigure or change the menus to offer additional food items
or provide combination meals without  reprogramming the system. This system also
utilizes video monitors, printers and various other devices that can be added to
a LAN. The restaurant  manager can use a standard PC to collect and form reports
on store-generated data.


     Systems  Integration and Professional  Services.  The Company  continues to
work  in  unison  with  its   customers  to  identify  and  address  the  latest
restaurant-technology   requirements   by  creating   interfaces  to  equipment,
including  innovations such as automated cooking and  drink-dispensing  devices,
customer-activated  terminals and order display units located inside and outside
of the restaurant.  The Company  provides its systems  integration  expertise to
interface specialized  components,  such as video monitors,  coin dispensers and
non-volatile  memory for journalizing  transaction  data, as is required in some
international  applications.  Through its Implementation  Services organization,
the Company also integrates the restaurant manager's  back-office PC, as well as
corporate home-office computer systems, as management  information  requirements
dictate.

     The Company is currently pursuing several strategic partnerships with third
party  organizations  that will provide PAR the ability to offer their customers
with a universal,  very fast, and efficient way to process  non-cash credit card
payment when making purchases in quick-service restaurants,  convenience stores,
gasoline  stations,  drugstores  and  many  other  large  chain  retailers.  The
Company's  initiatives  will facilitate  loyalty  programs to the  Point-Of-Sale
terminal with sub-second  speed and create a simplified and convenient  shopping
experience for customers while protecting their privacy.

Installation and Training

     In the U.S., Canada, Europe, South Africa, Middle East, Australia and Asia,
PAR  personnel  provide  installation,  training and  integration  services,  as
contracted.  In certain  cases,  the  Company's  equipment  is  installed by the
customer, or by unrelated third parties.

Maintenance and Service

     The Company offers a wide range of maintenance and support services as part
of its total solution for its targeted restaurant markets. In the North American
restaurant technology market, the Company provides comprehensive maintenance and
integration  services for its own  equipment  and  systems,  as well as those of
third  parties,  through  a  24-hour  central  telephone  customer  support  and
diagnostic  service in Boulder,  Colorado.  It also  maintains  a field  service
network consisting of nearly 100 locations offering factory,  on-site, and depot
repair and spare unit rentals. When a restaurant technology system is installed,
PAR employees  train the restaurant  employees and managers to ensure  efficient
and  effective  use of the  system.  If a problem  occurs  within the  Company's
proprietary  Point-of-Sale  system,  PAR's current service management  software,
Clarify,  allows a service technician to diagnose the problem by telephone or by
directly  dialing-in  to the POS  system,  thus  greatly  reducing  the need for



on-site service calls.  Clarify allows PAR to demonstrate  compelling  value and
differentiation  to its customers  through the  utilization of its extensive and
ever-growing knowledge base to efficiently diagnose and resolve customer-service
issues.  Clarify also enables PAR to compile the kind of in-depth information it
needs to spot trends and identify opportunities.

     The Company also maintains service centers in Europe, South Africa,  Middle
East,  Australia and Asia. The Company  believes that its ability to address all
support and  maintenance  requirements  for a customer's  restaurant  technology
network provides it with a clear competitive advantage.

Marketing

     Sales in the restaurant  technology  market are usually  generated by first
obtaining  the  acceptance  of the  corporate  restaurant  chain as an  approved
vendor. Upon approval, marketing efforts are then directed to franchisees of the
chain.  Sales efforts are also directed  toward  franchisees of chains for which
the Company is not an approved  corporate  vendor.  The Company  employs  direct
sales  personnel in several sales groups.  The Major  Accounts  Group works with
major  restaurant  chain corporate  customers.  The Domestic Sales Group targets
franchisees of the major restaurant chain customers,  franchisees of other major
chains, as well as smaller chains within the U.S. The International  Sales Group
seeks sales to major customers with  restaurants  overseas and to  international
chains that do not have a presence in the United States. The Company's OEM Sales
Group works  exclusively  with  third-party  dealers and  value-added  resellers
throughout the country.  The New Market Sales Group is responsible  for sales to
customers outside the restaurant industry.


Competition

     The competitive  landscape in the restaurant  market is driven primarily by
functionality,  reliability, quality, performance, pricing, service and support.
The Company believes that its principal competitive advantages include its focus
on  a  total  restaurant  management  solution  offering,  advanced  development
capabilities,  industry knowledge and expertise,  product reliability,  a direct
sales  force and the  quality of its support  and quick  service  response.  The
markets in which the Company transacts business are highly competitive.  Most of
our major  customers  have  approved  a few  suppliers  who  offer  some form of
sophisticated  restaurant  technology  system  similar to the  Company's.  Major
competitors  include Panasonic,  IBM Corporation,  Radiant Systems,  NCR, Micros
Systems and Aspeon.



Backlog

     At December  31, 2002,  the  Company's  backlog of unfilled  orders for the
Restaurant  segment was approximately  $5,500,000  compared to $9,000,000 a year
ago.  Most of the  present  orders will be  delivered  in 2003.  The  Restaurant
segment  orders are generally of a short-term  nature and are usually booked and
shipped in the same fiscal year.

Research and Development

     The highly technical nature of the Company's restaurant products requires a
significant  and  continuous  research  and  development  effort.  Research  and
development expenses on internally funded projects were approximately $5,400,000
in 2002,  $5,495,000  in 2001 and  $7,613,000 in 2000.  The Company  capitalizes
certain  software  costs in accordance  with  Statement of Financial  Accounting
Standards  No. 86,  "Accounting  for the Costs of Computer  Software to be Sold,
Leased  or  Otherwise  Marketed".  See  Note  1 to  the  Consolidated  Financial
Statements included in Item 15 for further discussion.

Manufacturing and Suppliers

     The Company  assembles  its  products  from  standard  components,  such as
integrated circuits,  and fabricated parts such as printed circuit boards, metal
parts and castings,  most of which are  manufactured  by others to the Company's
specifications.  The  Company  depends on outside  suppliers  for the  continued
availability  of its  components  and parts.  Although  most items are generally
available from a number of different  suppliers,  the Company  purchases certain
components  from only one  supplier.  Items  purchased  from  only one  supplier
include  certain  printers,  base castings and  electronic  components.  PAR has
maintained good, long-term relationships with each of these sole suppliers. Such
relationships  with these sole  suppliers  are  generally  governed  by purchase
orders or other  contracts,  which typically  serve to establish  pricing terms.
None of these arrangements require PAR to make a minimum purchase commitment. If
any of these suppliers should cease to supply an item, the Company believes that
new  sources  could be found to provide  the  components.  The  Company  has not
experienced  significant  delays of this nature in the past, but there can be no
assurance that delays in delivery due to supply  shortages will not occur in the
future.

                               Government Segment

     PAR operates  two  wholly-owned  subsidiaries  in the  government  business
segment, PAR Government Systems Corporation (PGSC) and Rome Research Corporation
(RRC).  In addition,  PAR also operates a business  unit,  PAR LMS,  involved in
Logistics  Management  Information  Services.  These companies  provide the U.S.
Department   of  Defense   (DoD)  and  other   federal   and  state   government
organizations, with a wide range of technical services and products. Some of the
more  significant  areas with  which the  Company is  involved  include  design,
development  and  systems  integration  of   state-of-the-art   data  archiving,
processing  and  retrieval  systems,   advanced  research  and  development  for
high-technology projects,  software  development/testing,  engineering services,
and    technical    and   support    services   for    government    information
technology/communications  facilities.  The Company's offerings cover the entire
development  cycle for  Government  systems,  including  requirements  analysis,
design  specification,  development,  implementation,   installation,  test  and

resources modeling,  Geographic  Information Systems (GIS) database  management,
and  geospatial  information  technology  development.   An  advanced  GIS-based
environmental  modeling and mapping capability  supports flood mapping and water
quality applications.  In particular,  the Company's  Flood*WareTM software tool
and  methodology  is being  employed  in New York  State in  support  of Federal
Emergency Management Agency's Map Modernization  Program.  Also, similar GIS and
Remote Sensing  technologies  are used in support of water quality  modeling and
assessment applications for the New York City Watershed Protection Program.

Logistics Management Systems (LMS)

     PAR Logistics Management Systems (LMS) focuses on the design,  development,
deployment,  and  commercialization of the Cargo*Mate(TM)  Logistics Information
Management System, a comprehensive,  end-to-end  solution for the monitoring and
management of transport assets and cargo throughout the intermodal (i.e.,  port,
highway, rail, and ocean) transportation lifecycle. The Cargo*Mate(TM) system is
being  implemented  under a  multi-year  Cooperative  Agreement  with  the  U.S.
Department of  Transportation/Federal  Highway  Administration  (DOT/FHWA)  with
funds  specifically   authorized  by  Congress  for  Cargo*Mate(TM)   under  the
Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21) in 1998.  Cargo*Mate(TM)
uses  state-of-the-art  technology to acquire  Global  Positioning  System (GPS)
location and equipment status data; wireless  communication networks to transmit
the data to the PAR LMS Operations Center; and a powerful relational database to


customize  the data to meet the needs of each  customer  and  provide  it to the
customer  over the  Internet or via direct  linkage to existing  ("back-office")
information systems.

     PAR LMS' initial product  offering,  the  Cargo*Mate(TM)  Chassis  Tracking
System,  commenced deployment in March 2002 with major shippers,  rail carriers,
and  equipment  lessors  across  the U.S.  who are  evaluating  the  system  for
fleetwide  deployments.  In mid-2002,  PAR LMS expanded its offerings to include
the Refrigeration  Unit Tracking System and the Genset Tracking System,  both of
which are being  deployed  with  shippers  and carriers  around the country.  In
December  2002,  PAR LMS began testing of the  Cargo*Mate(TM)  Version 3S, which
integrates  with  emerging  transportation   security  technologies,   including
advanced  RFID  technology  which  provides   container  tracking  and  security
capabilities.   The  Version  3S  includes  RFID  tags  that  provide  container
identification  number,  as well as  electronic  bolt seals that  safeguard  the
integrity of container  doors.  Beginning in January 2003,  the Version 3S began
beta testing in cooperation  with the DOT, the Department of Defense (DoD),  and
RFID  technology  providers  in order to assess the  system's  applicability  in
support of port and homeland security.

     As previously  stated,  the Company has realized  federal funding under the
auspices of a DOT contract, for this business, since its inception. The original
contract  with the DOT has  recently  concluded,  and the Company  has  received
indications  that  there may be a brief  hiatus  in  funding.  Accordingly,  the
Company may find it  necessary to fund the  operations  of LMS with its own cash
flows during this brief hiatus of federal funding.

Information Technology and Communications Support Services

     The Company  provides a wide range of  technical  and  support  services to
sustain mission critical  components of the DoD Global  Information  Grid. These
services include continuous  operations,  system enhancements and maintenance of
very low frequency  (VLF),  high frequency  (HF) and very high  frequency  (VHF)
radio  transmitter/receiver  facilities,  and extremely high frequency (EHF) and
super  high  frequency  (SHF)  satellite   communication  heavy  earth  terminal
facilities. The Company supports these DoD communications facilities, as well as
other   telecommunications   equipment  and  information  systems,  at  customer
locations  in  and  outside  of  the  continental  United  States.  The  various
facilities, operating 24 hours a day, are integral to the command and control of
the nation's air, land and naval  forces,  and those of United States  coalition
allies.



Test Laboratory and Range Operations

     The Company provides management,  engineering, and technical services under
several  contracts  with the U.S. Air Force and the U.S.  Navy.  These  services
include the planning,  execution,  and evaluation of tests at government  ranges
and laboratories operated and maintained by the Company. Test activities include
unique  components,  specialized  equipment,  and  advanced  systems  for radar,
communications,  electronic counter-measures, and integrated weapon systems. The
Company also develops  complex  measurement  systems in several  defense-related
areas  of  technology.  These  systems  are  computer-based  and have led to the
development by the Company of a significant software capability,  which provides
the basis for competing in new markets.

Government Contracts

     The  Company  performs  work  for  U.S.   Government  agencies  under  firm
fixed-price,  cost-plus-fixed-fee,  time-and-material,  and incentive-type prime
contracts and subcontracts.  Most of its contracts are for one-year to five-year
terms. The Company also has been awarded Task Order/Support contracts. There are
several risks associated with Government contracts.  For example,  contracts may
be terminated  for the  convenience  of the  Government  any time the Government
believes  that  such  termination  would  be in  its  best  interests.  In  this
circumstance,  the  Company is entitled to receive  payments  for its  allowable
costs and, in general,  a proportionate  share of its fee or profit for the work
actually  performed.  The Company's  business  with the U.S.  Government is also
subject  to other  risks  unique to the  defense  industry,  such as  reduction,
modification,  or  delays  of  contracts  or  subcontracts  if the  Government's
requirements,  budgets,  or policies or regulations change. The Company may also
perform  work prior to formal  authorization  or to  adjustment  of the contract
price for increased  work scope,  change  orders and other funding  adjustments.
Additionally,  the Defense  Contract  Audit Agency on a regular basis audits the
books and  records of the  Company.  Such  audits can result in  adjustments  to
contract costs and fees. Audits have been completed through the Company's fiscal
year 2000 and have not resulted in any material adjustments.

Marketing and Competition

     Marketing  begins  with  collecting  information  from a variety of sources
concerning  the  present and future  requirements  of the  Government  and other
potential  customers  for the  types  of  technical  expertise  provided  by the
Company. Although the Company believes it is positioned well in its chosen areas
of  image  and  signal  processing,  communications  and  engineering  services,
competition  for  government  contracts  is  intense.   Many  of  the  Company's
competitors  are, or subsidiaries  thereof,  companies such as  Lockheed-Martin,
Raytheon,  Northrop-Grumman,  BAE,  Harris,  and SAIC that are  larger  and have
substantially  greater financial resources.  The Company also competes with many
smaller  companies that target  particular  segments of the  government  market.



Contracts are obtained principally through competitive  proposals in response to
requests for bids from government agencies and prime contractors.  The principal
competitive  factors  are past  performance,  the  ability  to  perform,  price,
technological  capabilities,  management  capabilities and service. In addition,
the Company  sometimes obtains  contracts by submitting  unsolicited  proposals.
Many of PAR Government's DoD customers are now migrating to commercial  software
standards,  applications,  and  solutions.  In that  light,  PAR  Government  is
utilizing its Internal  Research and Development to migrate  existing  solutions
into  software  product  lines that will  support the DoD  geospatial  community
(i.e., National Imagery and Mapping Agency, U.S. Air Force, etc.).

Backlog

     The dollar value of existing government contracts at December 31, 2002, net
of  amounts  relating  to  work  performed  to  that  date,  was   approximately
$112,934,000,  of which  $24,100,000  was funded.  At  December  31,  2001,  the
comparable  amount  was  approximately  $50,695,000,  of which  $19,174,000  was
funded. This increase from 2001 to 2002 was the result of new contract awards in
excess of $100  million  in 2002.  Funded  represents  amounts  committed  under
contract by  Government  agencies and prime  contractors.  The December 31, 2002
government contract backlog of $112,934,000 represents firm, existing contracts.
Approximately $33,600,000 of this amount will be completed in calendar year 2003
as funding is committed.


                                    Employees

     As of December 31, 2002, the Company had 1,100 employees, approximately 55%
of whom are engaged in the Company's  Restaurant segment, 41% of whom are in the
Government segment, and the remainder are corporate employees.

     Due to the highly technical nature of the Company's business, the Company's
future can be significantly  influenced by its ability to attract and retain its
technical  staff.  The  Company  believes  that it will be able to  fulfill  its
near-term needs for technical staff.

     Approximately  23% of the  Company's  employees  are covered by  collective
bargaining agreements. The Company considers its employee relations to be good.

Item 5: Market for the Registrant's Common Stock and Related Stockholder Matters

     The  Company's  Common Stock,  par value $.02 per share,  trades on the New
York Stock  Exchange  (NYSE  symbol - PTC).  At December  31,  2002,  there were
approximately  669 owners of record of the Company's  Common  Stock,  plus those
owners whose stock certificates are held by brokers.

     The  following  table shows the high and low stock prices for the two years
ended December 31, 2002 as reported by New York Stock Exchange:

     The Company has not paid cash dividends on its Common Stock,  and its Board
of Directors  presently  intends to continue to retain earnings for reinvestment
in growth opportunities.  Accordingly,  it is anticipated that no cash dividends
will be paid in the foreseeable future.

     On December 3, 2002,  PAR sold an aggregate of 383,019 shares of its common
stock  at a price of  $5.30  per  share to  E*Capital  Corporation  and  certain
individuals  associated with Eliot Rose Asset  Management,  LLC for an aggregate
offering price of $2,030,000.  Following the payment in the amount of $87,500 to
the  placement  agent  engaged by the Company and certain  other  expenses,  the
remaining net proceeds to the Company of approximately $1.9 million were used to
pay down short-term debtedness.

     Such sales were made in reliance  upon Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities  Act"). All of the
foregoing  securities  are deemed  restricted  securities  for  purposes  of the
Securities Act.

Item 7: Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
        of Operations

     Information  provided by the Company,  including  information  contained in
this  Annual  Report,  or by its  spokespersons  from  time to time may  contain
forward-looking statements.  Forward-looking statements are made pursuant to the
safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities  Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
Investors are cautioned that all  forward-looking  statements  involve risks and
uncertainties,  including  without  limitation,  further  delays in new  product
introduction,  risks in technology development and  commercialization,  risks in
product  development  and market  acceptance  of and  demand  for the  Company's
products,  risks of downturns in economic conditions generally, and in the quick
service  sector of the restaurant  market  specifically,  risks of  intellectual
property rights associated with competition and competitive  pricing  pressures,
risks associated with foreign sales and high customer  concentration,  and other
risks  detailed  in the  Company's  filings  with the  Securities  and  Exchange
Commission.

     In March  2003,  the  Company  announced  it would  restate  its  financial
statements  for fiscal years 2000 and 2001 and the first three  quarters of 2002
as a result of a determination  by the Company that the Company should recognize
revenue on certain  product sales upon arrival at the customer site. This change
more  accurately  reflects  completion  of the  earnings  process  in  order  to
recognize revenue for sales of the Company's Point of Sale systems to individual
customers.  Previously,  the  Company  recorded  revenue  for these  sales  when
products  left  the  Company's  facility.  In  the  aggregate,  the  restatement
decreased  net revenue by $675,000  for the entire  period of fiscal years 2000,
2001 and the nine months ended  September 30, 2002.  This represents 0.2% of the
total revenues during that period.  The aggregate  change in net income for this
same period was an increase of  $238,000.  More  specifically,  in 2000  revenue
increased  by $3.2  million  and the net loss  decreased  by  $913,000.  In 2001
revenue and net income decreased by $1.4 million and $238,000 respectively.  For
the nine months ended September 30, 2002 revenues  decreased by $2.5 million and
net income decreased by $437,000.  Retained  earnings as of January 1, 2000 were
restated (decreased) to reflect the impact of this change in revenue recognition
in the amount of $1.1 million, net of tax. In addition, the Company has restated
(increased)  retained  earnings  as of  January  1, 2000 to  properly  state its
deferred  software  costs in the amount of  $380,000,  net of tax.  This  latter
adjustment had no impact on the results of operations for 2000, 2001 or 2002.


     The following discussion and analysis highlights items having a significant
effect on operations  during the  three-year  period ended December 31, 2002. It
may not be  indicative of future  operations  or earnings.  It should be read in
conjunction  with the  Consolidated  Financial  Statements and Notes thereto and
other financial and statistical information appearing elsewhere in this report.

Results of Operations -- 2002 Compared to 2001

     The Company reported revenues from continuing  operations of $133.7 million
for the year ended December 31, 2002, an increase of 17% from the $114.4 million
reported in 2001. Income from continuing  operations was $2.6 million in 2002, a
26% increase over the $2.1 million earned in 2001. The Company  reported diluted
net income per share from continuing operations of $.32 for 2002, a 19% increase
over the $.27 reported for the same period a year earlier.  Basic net income per
share was $.33 in 2002  compared to $.27 in 2001.  The  Company's net income for
the year ended  December  31, 2002 was  $741,000 or $.09  diluted net income per
share,  compared  to net income of $282,000  and $.04 per diluted  share for the
same period in 2001.

     Product revenues from the Company's  Restaurant  segment were $59.2 million
in 2002,  an  increase  of 18% from the  $50.3  million  recorded  in 2001.  The
principal  factor was increased  sales to certain of the  Company's  traditional
customers including  McDonald's and YUM! Brands, Inc. YUM! Brands, Inc. includes
five major restaurant chains. Also contributing to the revenue growth were sales
to several other new and existing  accounts.  These  accounts  include  Carnival
Cruise Lines,  Rare  Hospitality,  CKE  Restaurants  and The Pantry,  Inc. These
increased sales were due to several factors  including the market demand for the
Company's newest product, the POS4XP(TM), and customers' requirements to replace
or upgrade  older systems at existing  restaurants.  This increase was partially
offset by a decline in sales to Boston Market. The Company acquired this account
and completed the delivery of the customer's initial requirements in 2001.

     Customer  service  revenues are also generated by the Company's  Restaurant
segment.  The  Company's  service  offerings  include  installation,   training,
twenty-four  hour help desk  support  and  various  field  and  on-site  service
options. Customer service revenues were $36.6 million in 2002, an increase of 9%
from the  $33.6  million  in 2001.  The  growth  was due to a larger  volume  of
installation  activity in 2002.  This was the result of increased  product sales
during the year. Service revenue also grew due to increases in field service and
call center contracts.


     Contract revenues from the Company's Government segment were $38 million in
2002, an increase of 24% when compared to the $30.5 million recorded in the same
period in 2001.  The Company  received  over $100 million in new awards in 2002.
More  specifically,  this increase  resulted from the expanded  scope of our I/T
outsourcing  contracts for facility  operations at strategic U.S.  Department of
Defense  Telecommunication  sites across the globe. These outsourcing operations
provided by the Company directly support the U.S. Navy and Air Force operations.
The Company has become a  recognized  leader in the  conversion  of military I/T
communications  facilities to contractor  operations.  Also  contributing to the
growth was a  floodplain-mapping  contract with the New York State Department of
Environment  Conservation.  Additionally,  contract revenues grew as a result of
the Company's  logistics  management  business,  which  involves the tracking of
mobile chassis under the Company's Cargo*Mate(TM) contracts.

     Product  margins were 32.9% for 2002  compared to 33.4% for the same period
in 2001.  The  product mix change as a result of the  revenue  growth  discussed
above had a small  positive  impact on margins.  However,  this was offset by an
increase  in the  provision  for  excess  and  obsolete  inventory  in 2002 when
compared to 2001.  This was  primarily  a result of a decline in the  forecasted
usage of certain inventory  components as the Company recently  introduced newer
products.

     Customer  service margins were 17.7% in 2002 compared to 19.1% for the same
period in 2001.  This  margin  decline  was the result of an  investment  by the
Company to increase the number of field  service  personnel in the first half of
the year in order to support the installation and field service  requirements of
the Boston Market account which was acquired by the Company in 2001.

     Contract margins were 6.5% in 2002 versus 7.1% for the same period in 2001.
This  minor  decline  was  due to  slightly  lower  profit  margins  on  certain
fixed-price  contracts in 2002 when  compared to 2001.  The primary  elements of
contract  costs  are  direct  and  indirect  labor,   related  fringe  benefits,
materials, subcontract costs, and travel expenses. Margins in 2002 and 2001 were
higher than anticipated due to additional  profit  recognized upon completion of
certain  contracts.  Margins  on  the  Company's  government  contract  business
historically run between 5% and 6%.

         Selling, general and administrative expenses are virtually all related
to the Company's Restaurant segment. Selling, general and administrative
expenses were $19.5 million in 2002 versus $16.8 million for the same period in
2001, an increase of 16%. This occurred primarily in sales and marketing
expenses and is directly related to the growth in product revenue. The Company
increased its worldwide sales force, increased related travel expenses and
incurred general inflationary increases in wages and benefits.


     Research  and  development  expenses  are  from  the  Company's  Restaurant
segment. Research and development expenses were $5.4 million in 2002, a decrease
of 3% from the $5.6  million  recorded  for the same period in 2001.  This minor
decrease  was due to the  completion  of certain  development  projects in 2002.
Research and development costs attributable to government contracts are included
in cost of contract revenues.

     Other income was $815,000 in 2002 and  includes  rental  income and foreign
currency gains and losses. There were no significant variations in 2002 compared
to 2001.

     Interest expense  represents  interest charged on the Company's  short-term
borrowing  requirements  from banks and from long-term  debt.  Interest  expense
declined 29% to $824,000 in 2002  primarily due to a lower interest rate in 2002
compared to 2001.

     In 2002, the Company's  effective tax rate was 25.2%,  compared to 23.0% in
2001.  The  variance  from the  statutory  rate was due to the  extraterritorial
income exclusion and an adjustment to prior year's accruals. This adjustment was
due to the  favorable  completion  of federal tax audits  through the year 2000.
These items were  partially  offset by a $329,000  valuation  allowance  against
certain foreign tax credits,  due to the fact that the Company anticipates these
foreign tax credits will expire prior to utilization.

     During 2002, the Company recorded an after tax loss of $1.9 million or $.23
loss per diluted  share  resulting  from the  discontinuance  of its  Industrial
segment.  The  Company's  decision  to close  down its  unprofitable  Industrial
business unit,  Ausable Solutions,  Inc.,  followed a trend of continuous losses
over the past three years,  which  resulted from an economic  downturn in the IT
software  market  with  corresponding  delays  of  anticipated  contracts.  This
decision will allow the Company to focus on its two core businesses,  Restaurant
and Government, which are both growing and profitable.

Results of Operations -- 2001 Compared to 2000

     The Company reported revenues from continuing  operations of $114.4 million
for the year ended December 31, 2001, an increase of 13% from the $101.5 million
reported in 2000.  Income from  continuing  operations was $2.1 million versus a



loss of $11 million in 2000.  The Company  reported basic and diluted net income
per share from  continuing  operations  of $.27 for 2001,  compared to a diluted
loss per share of $1.40 reported for the same period a year earlier.

     The Company's net income for the year ended December 31, 2001 was $282,000,
or $.04  diluted net income per share,  compared to a net loss of $12.5  million
and $1.60 loss per diluted share for the same period in 2000.

     The operating  results for 2001  represent a significant  improvement  from
2000 and was due to a dramatic  turnaround in the Company's  Restaurant segment.
Total  revenue from this segment grew 11% to $83.8  million in 2001 versus $75.9
million in 2000. Operating results improved from a $17.4 million loss in 2000 to
a profit of $1.2  million  in 2001.  This was  attributable  to an  increase  in
capital  spending by numerous  restaurant  customers as  decisions  were made to
replace  older  equipment,  release  of new  and  improved  products  as well as
operating cost  reductions  implemented in 2001.  Consistent  with the Company's
strategy to diversify its customer base, the Company was successful in adding 13
new customer accounts consistent with its strategy.

     Product revenues from the Company's  Restaurant  segment were $50.3 million
in 2001, an increase of 13% from the $45 million recorded in 2000. The growth in
product revenue is  attributable  to the  significant  recovery of the Company's
restaurant  business in 2001 after a decline in 2000.  The Company added several
new  accounts  in 2001 such as Boston  Market  and  Carnival  Cruise  Lines.  In
addition,  the Company achieved growth with its traditional  customers including
Tricon and  McDonald's.  Additionally,  this  turnaround  can be  attributed  to
several  factors,  including the release of the Company's new hardware  product,
POS4XP(TM),  increased  demand for its  integrated  software suite and a general
improvement in economic conditions in the Company's marketplace.

     Customer  service  revenues are also generated by the Company's  Restaurant
segment. Customer service revenues were $33.6 million in 2001, an increase of 5%
from the $31.9 million  reported in 2000. This increase was the result of growth
in field service and call center  revenue due to new contracts and certain price
increases.  Installation  revenue also improved which is directly related to the
increased product volume discussed above.  These increases were partially offset
by a decline in depot repair  volume due to improved  product  reliability.  The
Company's  service offerings  include  installation,  twenty-four hour help desk
support and various on-site service options.


     Contract revenues from the Company's  Government segment were $30.5 million
in 2001,  an increase of 22% compared to the $25 million  recorded in 2000.  The
continued  success  of the  Company's  government  business  is  due to  several
factors,   including   various   naval   contracts   to  operate  and   maintain
communications  in support of fleet  operations.  The Company has  established a
growing  reputation  for  outsourcing  of Naval  Telecommunications  activities.
Additionally,  revenue  grew  due to  the  Company's  work  in  mapping  certain
watershed regions in New York State. In 2001, contract revenues also experienced
growth  in  the  areas  of  logistic   tracking  of  mobile  chassis  under  its
Cargo*Mate(TM) contracts.

     Product  margins were 33.4% in 2001 compared to 23.8% in 2000.  This margin
improvement was attributable to a more favorable product mix, including a higher
software content,  and a reduction in manufacturing  overhead costs. The Company
also  significantly  improved its  absorption  of fixed  manufacturing  costs as
production levels increased  substantially  over 2000, and reduced its provision
for inventory obsolescence due to improved inventory management.

     Customer  service  margins  were 19% in 2001  compared to 9% in 2000.  This
margin improvement was the result of successfully negotiated price increases and
improved  efficiencies  resulting  from  the  Company's  investment  in  service
management tools and infrastructure.

     Contract margins were 7% in 2001 versus 6% in 2000. This improvement is the
result of  favorable  contract  performance  on both  fixed  price and award fee
contracts.  Contract cost includes selling,  general and administrative expenses
as well as research and development costs related to the Government business.

     Selling,  general and administrative  expenses are virtually all related to
the Company's Restaurant segment.  Selling,  general and administrative expenses
were $16.8 million in 2001 versus $23.9 million in 2000, a decrease of 30%. This
decline  was the  result of cost  reductions  made by the  Company in the fourth
quarter of 2000 and its ongoing efforts to control costs without  impacting core
capabilities.  These cost  reductions  included a reduction  in labor as well as
certain  discretionary  expenses such as travel.  Other elements of this decline
include the costs of an early  retirement  program in 2000 that did not recur in
2001 and a reduction in the provision for bad debts in 2001.


     Research  and  development  expenses  are  from  the  Company's  Restaurant
segment.  Research and development  were $5.6 million in 2001, a decrease of 29%
from the $7.9 million recorded in 2000. This decline is due to the completion of
the new POS4XP(TM) system, and other expense reductions,  which were implemented
at the end of 2000.  Research and development  costs  attributable to government
contracts are included in cost of contract revenues.

     Other income was $848,000 in 2001, an increase  from the $525,000  recorded
in 2000.  This increase was primarily due to an increase in rental income due to
increased occupancy.

     Interest expense  represents  interest charged on the Company's  short-term
borrowings from banks and from long-term debt. Interest expense was $1.2 million
in 2001,  an increase of 15%  compared to the $1 million  recorded in 2000.  The
average  amount of  outstanding  borrowings was higher during 2001 than in 2000.
This was partially offset by a lower average borrowing rate in 2001.

     In 2001,  the  Company's  effective tax rate was 23%. The variance from the
statutory rate was due to the benefit  derived from state net operating  losses,
the  extraterritorial  income exclusion and the utilization of research credits.
This was partially  offset by non deductible  expenses and foreign income taxes.
In 2000, the Company's effective tax rate was a 38.3% benefit. The variance from
the  statutory  rate was  primarily  due to the benefit  recognized on state net
operating losses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The  Company's  primary  source of liquidity has been from  operations  and
lines of credit with various banks.  Cash provided by continuing  operations was
$4.1  million  in 2002  compared  to $1.8  million in 2001.  In 2002,  cash flow
benefited from a reduction in accounts  receivable and the operating profits for
the  period.  This was  partially  offset by an  increase  in  customer  service
inventory requirements to support the Company's newest product line and expanded
customer base. In addition, there was an increase in finished goods inventory in
anticipation of certain  customer orders that were not delivered until the first
quarter of 2003.  In 2001,  cash flow  benefited  from the  Company's  return to
profitability,  and the timing of vendor payments.  This was partially offset by
an increase in accounts receivable.

     Cash used in  investing  activities  was $1.7  million in 2002  versus $1.3
million  for 2001.  In 2002,  capital  expenditures  were  primarily  for normal
operational  needs  in  the  restaurant  segment  and  for  improvements  to the



Company's  headquarters  facility.  Capitalized  software costs were $790,000 in
2002. In 2001, capital  expenditures were primarily for manufacturing  equipment
and for  improvements  to the Company's  customer  service  facility in Boulder,
Colorado. Capitalized software costs were $742,000 in 2001.

     Cash used by financing  activities,  was $2.8  million in 2002  compared to
cash  provided  of $1.2  million  in 2001.  In 2002,  the  Company  reduced  its
short-term  bank  borrowings  by $5.1  million and  received  $381,000  from the
exercise of employee stock options.  The Company also raised $1.9 million on the
sale of treasury stock. The Company  evaluates  market  conditions on an ongoing
basis and may elect to  repurchase  shares of its common stock at times when the
prevailing market conditions  provide an opportunity for the Company to buy back
its stock at a discounted  rate as compared to book value.  In 2001, the Company
increased its  line-of-credit  borrowings by $830,000,  and cash of $473,000 was
provided by the exercise of employee stock options.

     The Company has an aggregate of  $20,000,000  in bank lines of credit.  One
line totaling  $12,500,000  bears  interest at the prime rate (4.25% at December
31, 2002) and is subject to loan covenants  involving  working  capital and debt
coverage  ratios.  The  Company  is in  compliance  with these  covenants  as of
December 31, 2002. The  availability of this facility is determined based on the
amount of certain receivables and inventory. This line expires on July 31, 2003.
The  remaining  line of  $7,500,000  bears  interest at the prime rate,  and the
expiration  date was  extended  from July 31,  2003 to  January 1, 2004 in April
2003.  Both  lines  are  collateralized  by  certain  accounts   receivable  and
inventory.  At December 31, 2002, $9,549,000 was outstanding and $10,451,000 was
available  under these  lines.  The Company  has  ongoing  discussions  with its
lenders and expects to be able to renew these lines at similar terms to meet its
ongoing needs.

     The Company does not have any significant capital or purchase  commitments.
The Company's future minimum obligations under  non-cancelable  operating leases
is as follows:

     The  Company  is  continuing  to look at  various  alternatives  to further
increase its credit  availability.  We believe our existing cash, line of credit
facilities  and our  anticipated  operating cash flow will be sufficient to meet
our cash requirements at least through the next twelve months.  However,  we may
be required,  or could elect, to seek additional funding prior to that time. Our
future capital  requirements will depend on many factors,  including our rate of
revenue growth, the timing and extent of spending to support product development
efforts,  expansion of sales and marketing,  the timing of  introductions of new
products and  enhancements to existing  products,  and market  acceptance of our
products.  We cannot assure you that additional equity or debt financing will be
available on acceptable  terms or at all. Our sources of liquidity beyond twelve
months, in management's opinion, will be our cash balances on hand at that time,
funds provided by operations  and whatever  long-term  credit  facilities we can
arrange.

Critical Accounting Policies

     The  Company's   consolidated   financial   statements  are  based  on  the
application of generally accepted  accounting  principles (GAAP).  GAAP requires
the use of estimates,  assumptions,  judgments and subjective interpretations of
accounting  principles that have an impact on the assets,  liabilities,  revenue
and expense  amounts  reported.  The Company  believes its use of estimates  and
underlying  accounting  assumptions adhere to GAAP and are consistently applied.
Valuations based on estimates are reviewed for  reasonableness and adequacy on a
consistent  basis   throughout  the  Company.   Primary  areas  where  financial
information of the Company is subject to the use of estimates,  assumptions  and
the  application  of  judgment  include  revenues,   receivables,   inventories,
intangible assets and taxes.

     The Company  recognizes  revenue generated by the Restaurant  segment using
the guidance from SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in
Financial  Statements" and the AICPA Statement of Position (SOP) 97-2, "Software
Revenue  Recognition,"  and other applicable  revenue  recognition  guidance and
interpretations.  Product  revenue  consists of the Company's  standard Point of
Sale systems of the Restaurant segment.  The Company recognizes revenue from the
sale of  complete  restaurant  systems  (which  primarily  includes  hardware or
hardware and  software)  upon  delivery to the  customer  site.  For  restaurant
systems that are  self-installed by the customer or an unrelated third party and
for component sales or supplies,  the Company  recognizes revenue at the time of
shipment.  The Company  records a provision for returns and allowances  when the
sale is  recognized.  In  addition  to product  sales,  the  Company may provide
installation and training services, and also offers maintenance contracts to its



customers.  Installation  and training  service  revenues are  recognized as the
services are  performed.  The Company's  other service  revenues,  consisting of
support,  field and depot repair, are provided to customers either on a time and
materials basis or under its maintenance contracts.  Services provided on a time
and  materials  basis are  recognized  as the  services are  performed.  Service
revenues from  maintenance  contracts  are deferred  when billed and  recognized
ratably over the related contract period.

     The Company's  contract revenues generated by the Government segment result
primarily  from contract  services  performed  for the United States  Government
under  a  variety  of  cost-reimbursement,   time-and-material  and  fixed-price
contracts.  The Company recognizes contract revenues using the guidance from SOP
81-1,   "Accounting   for   Performance   of   Construction-Type   and   Certain
Production-Type  Contracts." Contract revenues,  including fees and profits, are
recorded as services are performed using the percentage-of-completion  method of
accounting,  primarily  based on contract  costs  incurred to date compared with
estimated costs at completion.  Anticipated losses on all contracts and programs
in process are recorded in full when identified.  Unbilled  accounts  receivable
are stated at estimated  realizable value.  Contract costs,  including  indirect
expenses,  are subject to audit and adjustment through  negotiations between the
Company and government representatives.  Contract revenues have been recorded in
amounts that are expected to be realized on final settlement.

     Allowances for doubtful  accounts are based on estimates of probable losses
related  to  accounts  receivable  balances.  The  establishment  of  allowances
requires  the use of  judgment  and  assumptions  regarding  probable  losses on
receivable balances.

     The Company's  inventories  are valued at the lower of cost or market.  The
Company uses certain  estimates  and judgments  and  considers  several  factors
including  product  demand and changes in  technology  to provide for excess and
obsolescence reserves to properly value inventory.

     The  Company  has  intangible  assets on its  balance  sheet that  includes
computer software costs and goodwill resulting from acquisitions.  The valuation
of these assets and the assignment of useful amortization lives for the computer
software  costs involve  significant  judgments  and the use of  estimates.  The
testing  of  these  intangibles  for  impairment  under  established  accounting
guidelines also requires significant use of judgment and assumptions. Changes in
business  conditions  could  potentially  require  future  adjustments  to asset
valuations.


     The  Company  has  significant  amounts of  deferred  tax  assets  that are
reviewed for recoverability and valued  accordingly.  These assets are evaluated
by using  estimates  of future  taxable  income  streams  and the  impact of tax
planning  strategies.  Valuations  related  to tax  accruals  and  assets can be
impacted  by  changes  to tax  codes,  changes  in  statutory  tax rates and the
Company's future taxable income levels.

Item 7A:  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

A  CHANGE  IN  THE  RELATIONSHIP  WITH  ANY  ONE OF OUR  MAJOR  CUSTOMERS  WOULD
MATERIALLY ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR BUSINESS.

     A small number of customers  has  historically  accounted for a majority of
our net revenues in any given fiscal period. For the fiscal years ended December
31,  2002,  2001 and 2000,  aggregate  sales to our top two  Restaurant  segment
customers,   McDonald's   and   Yum!Brands,   amounted  to  51%,  51%  and  56%,
respectively,  of net  revenues.  No customer is  obligated  to make any minimum
level of future  purchases  from us or to provide us with  binding  forecasts of
product purchases for any future period. In addition,  major customers may elect
to delay or  otherwise  change  the  timing  of orders  in a manner  that  could
adversely  effect  quarterly and annual results of  operations.  There can be no
assurance  that our current  customers will continue to place orders with us, or
that we will be able to obtain orders from new customers.

AN  INABIILITY  TO  PRODUCE  NEW  PRODUCTS  THAT KEEP  PACE  WITH  TECHNOLOGICAL
DEVELOPMENTS  AND CHANGING  MARKET  CONDITIONS  COULD RESULT IN A LOSS OF MARKET
SHARE.

     The  products  we sell are  subject  to rapid and  continual  technological
change.  The products that are available from our competitors have  increasingly
offered a wider range of features and capabilities.  We believe that in order to
compete  effectively  we  must  provide  compatible  systems  incorporating  new
technologies  at competitive  prices.  There can be no assurance that we will be
able to continue  funding  research  and  development  at levels  sufficient  to
enhance our current product offerings,  or will be able to develop and introduce
on a timely basis new products  that keep pace with  technological  developments
and emerging  industry  standards  and address the evolving  needs of customers.
There can also be no assurance  that we will not  experience  difficulties  that
will result in delaying or preventing the successful  development,  introduction
and marketing of new products in our existing markets,  or that our new products
and  product   enhancements   will  adequately  meet  the  requirements  of  the
marketplace or achieve any significant  degree of market  acceptance.  Likewise,
there can be no assurance as to the  acceptance  of our products in new markets,
nor can there be any  assurance  as to the success of our  penetration  of these
markets, or to the revenue or profit margins with respect to these products.  If
any  of  our  competitors  were  to  introduce  superior  software  products  at



competitive  prices,  or if our software products no longer met the needs of the
marketplace due to technological  developments and emerging industry  standards,
our software products may no longer retain any significant market share. If this
were to  occur,  we could be  required  to record a charge  against  capitalized
software costs, which amounts to $2.1 million as of December 31, 2002.

WE DERIVE A PORTION OF OUR REVENUE FROM GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS, WHICH CONTAIN
PROVISIONS UNIQUE TO PUBLIC SECTOR CUSTOMERS.

     For the fiscal years ended  December 31,  2002,  2001 and 2000,  we derived
28%, 27% and 25%,  respectively,  of our net revenues from  contracts to provide
technical products and services to United States government agencies and defense
contractors.  Contracts with United States government agencies typically provide
that such contracts are terminable at the convenience of the government.  If the
government  terminated a contract on this basis, we would be entitled to receive
payment for our allowable costs and, in general,  a  proportionate  share of our
fee or profit for work actually performed.  Most U.S.  government  contracts are
also subject to  modification or termination in the event of changes in funding.
As such,  we may perform  work prior to formal  authorization,  or the  contract
prices may be adjusted for increased work scope or change orders. Termination or
modification of a substantial number of our U.S. government contracts could have
a material  adverse effect on our business,  financial  condition and results of
operations.  The Company does not anticipate any impact due to the current world
crisis on our current contracts.

WE FACE  EXTENSIVE  COMPETITION  IN THE  MARKETS  IN WHICH WE  OPERATE,  AND OUR
FAILURE TO COMPETE  EFFECTIVELY  COULD RESULT IN PRICE  REDUCTIONS AND DECREASED
DEMAND FOR OUR PRODUCTS AND SERVICES.

     There are currently five major  suppliers who offer  restaurant  management
systems  similar to ours.  Some of these  competitors are larger than we are and
have access to substantially  greater  financial and other resources than we do,
and  consequently  may be able to obtain  more  favorable  terms than we can for
components  and  subassemblies  incorporated  into their  restaurant  technology
products.  The rapid rate of technological change in the restaurant market makes
it likely that we will face competition from new products  designed by companies
not currently  competing  with us. Such products may have features not currently
available on our restaurant  products.  We believe that our competitive  ability
depends on our total  solution  offering,  our product  development  and systems
integration  capability,  our  direct  sales  force  and  our  customer  service
organization.  There is no assurance,  however,  that we will be able to compete
effectively in the restaurant technology market in the future.




     Our government  contracting  business has been focused on niche  offerings,
primarily  signal and image  processing and  engineering  services.  Many of our
competitors  are, or are  subsidiaries  of,  companies such as  Lockheed-Martin,
Raytheon,  Northrop-Grumman  (which includes  Litton-PRC-TASC),  BAE, Boeing and
SAIC.  These  companies  are larger  and have  substantially  greater  financial
resources  than we do.  We also  compete  with  smaller  companies  that  target
particular  segments of the  government  market.  These  companies may be better
positioned to obtain  contracts  through  competitive  proposals.  Consequently,
there are no assurances  that we will continue to win government  contracts as a
prime contractor or subcontractor.

WE MAY  NOT BE  ABLE  TO  MEET  THE  UNIQUE  OPERATIONAL,  LEGAL  AND  FINANCIAL
CHALLENGES  THAT  RELATE TO OUR  INTERNATIONAL  OPERATIONS,  WHICH MAY LIMIT THE
GROWTH OF OUR BUSINESS.

     For the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, our net revenues from
sales  outside the United  States were 11%,  14% and 19%,  respectively,  of the
Company's net revenues.  We anticipate that international sales will continue to
account for a significant  portion of sales. We intend to continue to expand our
operations  outside  the  United  States and to enter  additional  international
markets,  which will require  significant  management  attention  and  financial
resources.   Our  operating  results  are  subject  to  the  risks  inherent  in
international  sales,  including,  but not limited to, regulatory  requirements,
political and economic changes and disruptions,  geopolitical  disputes and war,
transportation  delays,  difficulties  in staffing  and managing  foreign  sales
operations, and potentially adverse tax consequences. In addition,  fluctuations
in exchange  rates may render our products  less  competitive  relative to local
product  offerings,  or could result in foreign exchange losses,  depending upon
the currency in which we sell our products. There can be no assurance that these
factors  will not have a material  adverse  effect on our  future  international
sales and, consequently,  on our operating results. In 2002, less than 1% of the
Company's revenues was from customers in the Middle East. Therefore, the current
world  crisis  is not  expected  to have a  material  impact on the  results  of
operations in 2003.

INFLATION

     Inflation  had little  effect on revenues  and related  costs  during 2002.
Management  anticipates that margins will be maintained at acceptable  levels to
minimize the effects of inflation, if any.

INTEREST RATES

     As of December 31, 2002, the Company has $2.2 million in variable long-term
debt and $9.6 million in variable  short-term  debt. The Company believes that a
10% change in interest  rates would not have a material  impact on our business,
financial conditions, results of operations or cash flows.


FOREIGN CURRENCY

     The Company's  primary exposures relate to certain  non-dollar  denominated
sales and operating  expenses in Europe and Asia.  These primary  currencies are
the Euro, the Australian  dollar and the Singapore dollar.  Management  believes
that foreign currency fluctuations should not have a significant impact on gross
margins due to the low volume of business affected by foreign currencies.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
of PAR Technology Corporation


In our  opinion,  the  consolidated  financial  statements  listed  in the index
appearing  under  Item  15(a) (1) on page 41  present  fairly,  in all  material
respects,   the  financial  position  of  PAR  Technology  Corporation  and  its
subsidiaries at December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001 and the results of their
operations  and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 2002 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United  States of  America.  In  addition,  in our  opinion,  the  financial
statement schedule listed in the index appearing under Item 15(a) (2) on page 41
presents  fairly,  in all material  respects,  the information set forth therein
when read in conjunction  with the related  consolidated  financial  statements.
These   financial   statements   and  financial   statement   schedule  are  the
responsibility of the Company's management;  our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial  statements and financial statement schedule based on
our audits.  We conducted  our audits of these  statements  in  accordance  with
auditing  standards  generally  accepted in the United States of America,  which
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,  assessing the  accounting  principles
used and  significant  estimates made by management,  and evaluating the overall
financial  statement  presentation.   We  believe  that  our  audits  provide  a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

As  discussed in Note 2, the Company has  restated  its  Consolidated  Financial
Statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Note 1 -- Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of consolidation

     The  consolidated   financial   statements  include  the  accounts  of  PAR
Technology Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries (ParTech, Inc., Ausable
Solutions,   Inc.,  PAR  Government   Systems   Corporation  and  Rome  Research
Corporation),  collectively  referred  to  as  the  "Company."  All  significant
intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Revenue recognition

     The Company  recognizes  revenue generated by the Restaurant  segment using
the guidance from SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in
Financial  Statements" and the AICPA Statement of Position (SOP) 97-2, "Software
Revenue  Recognition,"  and other applicable  revenue  recognition  guidance and
interpretations.  Product  revenue  consists of the Company's  standard Point of
Sale systems of the Restaurant segment.  The Company recognizes revenue from the
sale of  complete  restaurant  systems  (which  primarily  includes  hardware or
hardware and  software)  upon  delivery to the  customer  site.  For  restaurant
systems that are  self-installed by the customer or an unrelated third party and
for component sales or supplies,  the Company  recognizes revenue at the time of
shipment.  The Company  records a provision for returns and allowances  when the
sale is  recognized.  In  addition  to product  sales,  the  Company may provide
installation and training services, and also offers maintenance contracts to its
customers.  Installation  and training  service  revenues are  recognized as the
services are  performed.  The Company's  other service  revenues,  consisting of
support,  field and depot repair, are provided to customers either on a time and
materials basis or under its maintenance contracts.  Services provided on a time
and  materials  basis are  recognized  as the  services are  performed.  Service
revenues from  maintenance  contracts  are deferred  when billed and  recognized
ratably over the related contract period.

     The Company's  contract revenues generated by the Government segment result
primarily  from contract  services  performed  for the United States  Government
under  a  variety  of  cost-reimbursement,   time-and-material  and  fixed-price
contracts.  The Company recognizes contract revenues using the guidance from SOP
81-1,   "Accounting   for   Performance   of   Construction-Type   and   Certain
Production-Type  Contracts." Contract revenues,  including fees and profits, are


recorded as services are performed using the percentage-of-completion  method of
accounting,  primarily  based on contract  costs  incurred to date compared with
estimated costs at completion.  Anticipated losses on all contracts and programs
in process are recorded in full when identified.  Unbilled  accounts  receivable
are stated at estimated  realizable value.  Contract costs,  including  indirect
expenses,  are subject to audit and adjustment through  negotiations between the
Company and government representatives.  Contract revenues have been recorded in
amounts that are expected to be realized on final settlement.

Statement of cash flows

     For  purposes of reporting  cash flows,  the Company  considers  all highly
liquid investments, purchased with a remaining maturity of three months or less,
to be cash equivalents.  The effect of changes in foreign-exchange rates on cash
balances is not material.

Inventories

     Inventories  are  valued  at the  lower  of  cost  or  market,  cost  being
determined on the basis of the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.

Property, plant and equipment

     Property,  plant and equipment are recorded at cost and  depreciated  using
the  straight-line  method over the estimated useful lives of the assets,  which
range from three to twenty-five years.  Expenditures for maintenance and repairs
are expensed as incurred.

 Warranties

     The  Company's  products  are sold with a standard  warranty for defects in
material and  workmanship.  The standard  warranty offered by the Company is for
one year. The Company establishes an accrual for estimated warranty costs at the
time  revenue is  recognized  on the sale.  This  estimate is based on projected
product reliability using historical performance data.



     The changes in the product  warranty  liability for the year ended December
31, 2002 are summarized as follows: (in thousands)

                                                            Dollar Amount of

                                                             ============
Income taxes

     The provision for income taxes is based upon pretax  earnings with deferred
income  taxes  provided  for the  temporary  differences  between the  financial
reporting basis and the tax basis of the Company's assets and  liabilities.  The
Company  records a valuation  allowance  when  necessary to reduce  deferred tax
assets to their net realizable amounts.

Foreign currency

     The assets and liabilities for the Company's  international  operations are
translated into U.S.  dollars using year-end  exchange rates.  Income  statement
items are translated at average exchange rates  prevailing  during the year. The
resulting  translation  adjustments  are  recorded  as a separate  component  of
shareholders'  equity under the heading Accumulated Other  Comprehensive  Income
(Loss).  Exchange  gains and  losses on  intercompany  balances  of a  long-term
investment  nature  are  also  recorded  as a  translation  adjustment.  Foreign
currency  transaction gains and losses, which historically have been immaterial,
are included in net income.

Research and development costs

     The  Company  capitalizes  certain  costs  related  to the  development  of
computer software used in its Restaurant products segment under the requirements
of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86, "Accounting for the Costs
of Computer  Software  to be Sold,  Leased,  or  Otherwise  Marketed".  Software
development costs incurred prior to establishing  technological  feasibility are



charged to operations and included in research and development  costs.  Software
development  costs incurred after  establishing  feasibility are capitalized and
amortized  on a  product-by-product  basis  when the  product is  available  for
general release to customers.  The unamortized  computer software costs included
in other assets amounted to $2,148,000,  and $2,165,000 at December 31, 2002 and
2001, respectively.  Annual amortization,  charged to cost of sales, is computed
using the straight-line method over the remaining estimated economic life of the
product,  generally  three years.  Amortization  of  capitalized  software costs
amounted to  $1,098,000,  $1,376,000  and  $1,297,000 in 2002,  2001,  and 2000,
respectively.

Stock-based compensation

     Statement  of  Financial  Accounting  Standards  No. 123,  "Accounting  for
Stock-Based Compensation" (SFAS 123), encourages, but does not require companies
to record  compensation cost for stock-based  compensation  plans at fair value.
The Company has  elected to  continue  to account for  stock-based  compensation
using the intrinsic value method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board (APB)
Opinion  No.  25,  "Accounting  for Stock  Issued  to  Employees",  and  related
interpretations.

     Had compensation cost for the Company's stock-based  compensation plans and
other  transactions  been determined based on the fair values of the fiscal year
2002,  2001  and  2000  grant  dates  for  those  awards,  consistent  with  the
requirements of SFAS No. 123,  "Accounting for  Stock-Based  Compensation",  the
Company's  net income and  earnings per share would have been reduced to the pro
forma amounts indicated below (in thousands, except per share data):

Earnings per share

     Earnings per share are calculated in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting  Standards No. 128 "Earnings per Share" (SFAS 128),  which  specifies
the  computation,  presentation,  and disclosure  requirements  for earnings per
share (EPS).  It requires the  presentation  of basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS
excludes all dilution  and is based upon the weighted  average  number of common
shares  outstanding  during the  period.  Diluted  EPS  reflects  the  potential
dilution that would occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock
were exercised or converted into common stock.

     The  following  is  a   reconciliation   of  the  weighted  average  shares
outstanding for the basic and diluted EPS  computations (In Thousands Except Per
Share Data):

Use of Estimates

     The  preparation  of financial  statements  in  conformity  with  generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates,  judgments
and  assumptions  that affect the reported  amounts of assets,  liabilities  and
revenues and expenses (as well as disclosures of contingent  liabilities) during
the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.


Reclassifications

     Certain  reclassifications  have been made to prior year numbers to conform
to the current year presentation.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

     In July 2001, the Financial  Accounting  Standards Board approved Statement
of  Financial  Accounting  Standards  No.  142  "Goodwill  and Other  Intangible
Assets",  ("SFAS 142"). The Company adopted SFAS 142 effective  January 1, 2002.
Under this standard,  amortization  of goodwill and certain  intangible  assets,
including   certain   intangibles   recorded  as  a  result  of  past   business
combinations,  is to be  discontinued  upon adoption of SFAS 142.  Instead,  all
goodwill  will  be  tested  for  impairment  annually,  or  more  frequently  if
circumstances indicate potential impairment,  through a comparison of fair value
to its carrying amount.  The Company has elected to annually test for impairment
at December 31. There was no impairment of goodwill in 2002.  The carrying value
of goodwill was $598,000 at December 31, 2002.

     The following is a reconciliation  assuming goodwill had been accounted for
in accordance with SFAS 142 in the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000:

Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets

     SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,"
was issued in August 2001. SFAS No. 144 provides new guidance on the recognition
of  impairment  and losses on  long-lived  assets to be held and used,  or to be
disposed of, and also broadens the definition of what constitutes a discontinued
operation and how the results of discontinued  operations are to be measured and
presented.  SFAS No. 144 supersedes SFAS 121,  "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived  Assets to be  Disposed  Of," and a portion of  Accounting  Principle
Board (APB) No. 30, "Reporting the Results of  Operations-Reporting  the Effects
of Disposal of Segment of a Business,"  while retaining many of the requirements
of these two  statements.  Under SFAS No. 144,  discontinued  operations  are no
longer measured on a net realizable value basis, and future operating losses are
no longer recognized before they occur.

     As  further  described  in Note 3, the  Company  decided  to dispose of its
Industrial  segment in August 2002 and has adopted  the  provisions  of SFAS 144
regarding the  measurement,  recognition  and  disclosure  of this  discontinued
operation.

New Accounting Pronouncements

     In July  2002,  the  FASB  issued  SFAS  No.  146,  "Accounting  for  Costs
Associated  with  Exit  or  Disposal   Activities,"  which  addresses  financial
accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal  activities.
This Statement supersedes Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 94-3,  "Liability
Recognition for Certain  Employee  Termination  Benefits and Other Costs to Exit



and  Activity  (including  Certain  Costs  Incurred  in a  Restructuring)."  The
provisions of this Statement are effective for exit or disposal  activities that
are initiated after December 31, 2002, with early application  encouraged.  This
pronouncement  did not have an impact on our  financial  condition or results of
operations for the year ended December 31, 2002.

     In  November  2002,  FASB  Interpretation   ("FIN")  No.  45,  "Guarantor's
Accounting  and  Disclosure  Requirements  for  Guarantees,  Including  Indirect
Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others" was issued.  The  interpretation  provides
guidance  on  the  guarantor's   accounting  and  disclosure   requirements  for
guarantees,  including  indirect  guarantees of indebtedness of others.  We have
adopted the disclosure  requirements  of the  interpretation  as of December 31,
2002.  The  accounting  guidelines  are  applicable to  guarantees  issued after
December 31, 2002 and require  that we record a liability  for the fair value of
such  guarantees in the balance sheet.  We are reviewing FIN 45 to determine its
impact, if any, on future reporting periods, and do not currently anticipate any
material accounting impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

     In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation - Transition and Disclosure," which provides alternative methods of
transition  for a voluntary  change to the fair value based method of accounting
for stock-based employee  compensation.  In addition,  this Statement amends the
disclosure  requirements of SFAS 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based  Compensation"
to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements
about the method of accounting for  stock-based  employee  compensation  and the
effect of the method used on reported  results.  We will continue to account for
stock-based  compensation  using the intrinsic value method and will continue to
provide pro forma disclosures of the net income and earnings per share effect of
stock options using the "fair value method" in our annual and interim  financial
statements.

Non-recurring Charges

     The results for 2000 include a non-recurring  charge of $300,000  ($200,000
after tax or $.03 loss per share)  relating to the sale of the Company's  Vision
business.

Note 2 -- Restatement

     In March  2003,  the  Company  announced  it would  restate  its  financial
statements  for fiscal years 2000 and 2001 and the first three  quarters of 2002
as a result of a determination  by the Company that the Company should recognize
revenue on certain  product sales upon arrival at the customer site. This change
more  accurately  reflects  the  completion  of the earning  process in order to



recognize revenue for sales of the Company's Point of Sale systems to individual
customers.  Previously,  the  Company  recorded  revenue  for these  sales  when
products  left  the  Company's  facility.  In  the  aggregate,  the  restatement
decreased  net revenue by $675,000  for the entire  period of fiscal years 2000,
2001 and the nine months ended  September 30, 2002.  This represents 0.2% of the
total revenues during that period.  The aggregate  change in net income for this
same period was an increase of  $238,000.  More  specifically,  in 2000  revenue
increased  by $3.2  million  and the net loss  decreased  by  $913,000.  In 2001
revenue and net income decreased by $1.4 million and $238,000 respectively.  For
the nine months ended September 30, 2002 revenues  decreased by $2.5 million and
net income decreased by $437,000.  Retained  earnings as of January 1, 2000 were
restated (decreased) to reflect the impact of this change in revenue recognition
in the amount of $1.1 million, net of tax. In addition, the Company has restated
(increased)  retained  earnings  as of  January  1, 2000 to  properly  state its
deferred  software  costs in the amount of  $380,000,  net of tax.  This  latter
adjustment had no impact on the results of operations for 2000, 2001 or 2002.

       The restatement adjustments affecting the years 2001 and 2000 are set
forth in the following table (in thousands):

Note 3 -- Business Operations

     For the year ended  December  31, 2002,  the Company  recorded an after tax
loss of  $1.9  million  or $.23  loss  per  diluted  share  resulting  from  the
discontinuance of its Industrial  segment.  The Company's  decision in the third
quarter of 2002 to close down its unprofitable Industrial business unit, Ausable
Solutions,  Inc.,  followed  a trend of  continuous  losses  over the past three
years,  which resulted from an economic  downturn in the IT software market with
corresponding  delays of  anticipated  contracts.  This  decision will allow the
Company to focus on its two core businesses, Restaurant and Government.

     A summary of net  revenues and pre-tax  operating  results and total assets
and liabilities of discontinued operations are detailed below (in thousands):

     In accordance with SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal
of Long-Lived Assets," or SFAS 144, we evaluate the accounting and reporting for
the impairment of long-lived assets and for long-lived assets to be disposed of.
SFAS 144 requires recognition of impairment of long-lived assets if the net book
value of such  assets  exceeds  the  estimated  future  undiscounted  cash flows
attributable  to such  assets.  If the carrying  value of a long-lived  asset is
considered  impaired,  a loss is  recognized  based on the  amount  by which the
carrying value exceeds the fair market value of the long-lived  asset for assets
to be held and used, or the amount by which the carrying  value exceeds the fair
market value less cost to dispose for assets to be  disposed.  Fair market value
is determined  primarily using the anticipated  cash flows  discounted at a rate
commensurate  with the risk involved.  No impairment  was recorded  during 2002,
2001 or 2000.

Note 10 -- Employee Benefit Plans

     The  Company  has a deferred  profit-sharing  retirement  plan that  covers
substantially  all employees.  The Company's annual  contribution to the plan is
discretionary.  The Company contributed  $200,000 to the Plan in 2002. There was
no  contribution  to the plan in 2001.  Contributions  to the plan in 2000  were
$257,000.  The plan also contains a 401(k)  provision  that allows  employees to
contribute a percentage of their salary.

     The Company also maintains an incentive-compensation  plan. Participants in
the plan are key employees as determined by executive  management.  Compensation
under  the  plan  is  based  on  the  achievement  of  predetermined   financial
performance goals of the Company and its subsidiaries. Awards under the plan are
payable in cash.  Awards  under the plan  totaled  $261,000,  $416,000 and $0 in
2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

Note 11 -- Contingencies

     The Company is subject to legal  proceedings,  which arise in the  ordinary
course of  business.  In the  opinion  of  management,  all  matters,  which are
currently in various  stages of  litigation,  are without  merit and the Company
intends to defend such claims vigorously. Additionally, U.S. Government contract
costs  are  subject  to  periodic  audit  and  adjustment.  In  the  opinion  of
management,  the ultimate liability,  if any, with respect to these actions will
not materially  affect the financial  position,  results of operations,  or cash
flows of the Company.


Note 12 -- Segment and Related Information

     The Company's  reportable  segments are strategic  business units that have
separate management teams and infrastructures  that offer different products and
services.

     The Company has two reportable  segments,  Restaurant and  Government.  The
Restaurant segment offers integrated solutions to the restaurant industry. These
offerings include industry leading hardware and software  applications  utilized
at the  point-of-sale,  back of store and  corporate  office.  This segment also
offers customer support including field service, installation,  twenty-four hour
telephone  support  and  depot  repair.   The  Government  segment  designs  and
implements  advanced technology computer software systems primarily for military
and intelligence  agency  applications.  It provides  services for operating and
maintaining certain U.S. Government-owned  communication and test sites, and for
planning,  executing and evaluating  experiments involving new or advanced radar
systems.  It is also involved in developing  technology to track mobile chassis.
As discussed in Note 3, the Company  discontinued its Industrial  segment in the
third  quarter  of 2002.  Accordingly,  the  results of this  segment  have been
reported as discontinued  operations.  Intersegment  sales and transfers are not
material.

          consolidated subsidiaries,  is made known to us by others within those
          entities,  particularly  during the period in which this annual report

          the registrant's internal controls; and

6.   The  registrant's  other  certifying  officers and I have indicated in this
     annual  report  whether or not there were  significant  changes in internal
     controls  or in other  factors  that could  significantly  affect  internal
