(1) CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

    The accompanying consolidated balance sheets and related interim
    consolidated statements of operations and cash flows of Tidel Technologies,
    Inc., a Delaware corporation formerly known as American Medical

    management, these financial statements include all adjustments (consisting
    only of normal recurring items) necessary for their fair presentation in
    accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Preparing
    financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions
    that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and
    expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Interim results
    are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The information
    included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Company's
    Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 1996.

(3) NET INCOME PER SHARE

    Net income per share is computed by dividing the net income by the weighted
    average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the
    period. For purposes of this calculation, outstanding warrants and employee
    stock options are considered common stock equivalents


(4) INVESTMENT IN 3CI

    The Company owns 680,818 shares of the common stock of 3CI Complete
    Compliance Corporation. The investment is carried at market value.

                                       4

(5) LITIGATION

    The Company is subject to certain litigation and claims arising in the
    ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the amounts
    ultimately payable, if any, as a result of such litigation and claims will
    not have a materially adverse effect on the Company's financial position.

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

                             RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

    The Company develops, manufactures, sells and supports products designed for
    specialty retail marketers, including automated teller machines and related
    software (the "AnyCard" or "ATM" products); electronic cash security systems
    (the "Timed Access Cash Controller" or "TACC" products); and underground
    fuel storage monitoring and leak detection devices (the "Environmental
    Monitoring System" or "EMS" products).

    PRODUCT REVENUES

    Total revenues increased $2,375,436, or 42%, for the third quarter of fiscal
    1997 over the comparable quarter of 1996. On a year-to-date basis, revenues
    increased $6,477,393, or 44%, compared to the same period of the prior
    fiscal year. As discussed below, a significant increase in AnyCard sales was
    the principal factor in the Company's revenue growth. Revenue by product is
    detailed in the following table:

                                   Three Months Ended  Nine Months Ended
                                       June 30,            June 30,

                                   ======   =======   =======   =======

    AnyCard product sales for the quarter ended June 30, 1997 increased 58% over
    the comparable period in 1996. On a year-to-date basis, AnyCard sales
    increased 81% when compared to the same period in 1996. These increases are
    attributable to strong demand for the single cassette model ATM, which has
    been the Company's largest selling product since its introduction in
    November 1995.

    TACC product sales increased 23% for the quarter ended June 30, 1997, when
    compared to the same period in 1996. As expected, however, these sales were
    virtually unchanged on a year-to-date basis.

    All marketing activities for EMS products have terminated as the marketing
    focus of the Company is shifted to its two other product lines, and as a
    result, these sales have continued to decline. Certain existing customers
    have continued to purchase these products, however, to complete retrofit
    projects that are currently in progress.

                                       5

    Parts, service and other revenues vary directly with sales of finished
    goods, and have increased accordingly.

    GROSS PROFIT, OPERATING EXPENSES AND NON-OPERATING ITEMS

    Gross profit was 38% of revenues for the quarters ended June 30, 1997 and
    1996. On a year-to-date basis, gross profit decreased slightly from 37% of
    revenues in 1996 to 36% of revenues in 1997. The decrease was primarily due
    to discounts on sales prices of older tube-type ATMs shipped thus far in
    fiscal 1997, and costs related to upgraded features in the single cassette
    model. However, management expects gross profit to improve for the balance
    of fiscal 1997, due to volume discounts from raw material suppliers and
    higher margins on new products developed.

    As a percentage of revenues, selling, general and administrative expense was
    25% and 27% in the respective third quarters of fiscal 1997 and 1996. On a
    year-to-date basis, selling, general and administrative expense was 24% of
    revenues in 1997, compared to 27% of revenues in 1996. Management believes
    that selling, general and administrative expense, as a percentage of
    revenues, should continue to decrease over the remainder of the year.

    Depreciation and amortization increased during fiscal 1997 due to the
    additions of property, plant and equipment utilized in the development of
    new automated teller machine products.

    Interest expense increased during fiscal 1997 as a result of increased
    indebtedness in the early part of the year, offset somewhat by a decline in
    average rates for borrowed funds.

                   LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    The financial position of the Company continues to improve primarily as a
    result of profitable operations and the infusion of capital from the
    exercise of warrants, as reflected in the following key indicators as of
    June 30, 1997 and September 30, 1996:

                                  June 30,   September 30,
                                    1997         1996       Increase
                                 ----------   ----------   ----------
          Shareholders' equity   $7,795,380   $4,128,771   $3,666,609
          Tangible net worth .    6,964,037    3,191,480    3,772,557
          Working capital ....    9,030,015    2,220,823    6,809,192

    The improvement in working capital is principally due to increased accounts
    receivable and the replacement of a short-term note payable with a long-term
    credit facility. The increase in accounts receivable arose from increased
    sales, and the provision of extended payment terms to principal customers
    for certain large orders. The replacement of the short-term note payable
    with the long-term credit facility resulted from the financing described in
    the following paragraph.

    During June, 1997, the Company's wholly owned subsidiary entered into a
    revolving credit agreement with Texas Commerce Bank National Association.
    The revolving credit agreement, which replaced the subsidiary's existing
    short-term revolving facility, provides for borrowings up to $5,000,000 at
    the prime rate, with certain LIBOR alternatives, until May 31, 1999. At June
    30, 1997, $3,654,604 was outstanding pursuant to the revolving credit
    agreement.

                                       6

    The Company continues to own 680,818 shares of 3CI common stock subsequent
    to its divestiture of a majority interest in February 1994. The Company has
    no immediate plans for the disposal of the shares, and accordingly, the
    shares may be utilized to collateralize borrowings. At present, 480,818
    shares are pledged to secure an outstanding note payable in the principal
    amount of $400,000.

    The Company's registration statement covering the offering and sale by
    selling shareholders of the common stock underlying all of the Company's
    5,517,500 outstanding warrants was declared effective on January 29, 1997.
    As of June 30, 1997, warrants to purchase 2,125,975 shares have been
    exercised generating net proceeds to the Company of approximately
    $2,390,000, and warrants representing 761,244 shares have expired. As of
    June 30, 1997, the Company had outstanding warrants to purchase 2,630,281
    shares of common stock, which if exercised would generate proceeds to the
    Company of approximately $2,200,000.

    Of the total warrants exercised, certain directors purchased 700,000 shares
    through a contribution of cash and promissory notes. The notes, which are
    due March 31, 1998, have an aggregate principal balance of $743,000, bear
    interest at 10% per annum, and are secured by a pledge of all of the shares.

    The Company's research and development budget for fiscal 1997 has been
    estimated at $1,300,000. The majority of these expenditures are applicable
    to enhancements of the existing product lines, development of new automated
    teller machine products and the development of new technology to facilitate
    the dispensing of products such as postage stamps, money orders, and prepaid
    telephone cards, as well as multiple denominations of currency. Total
    research and development expenditures were approximately $863,000 and
    $656,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

    With its present capital resources, its potential capital from the exercise
    of warrants, and with its borrowing facility, the Company should have
    sufficient resources to meet its operating needs for the foreseeable future
    and to provide for debt maturities and capital expenditures.

    The Company has never paid dividends on shares of its common stock, and does
    not anticipate paying dividends in the foreseeable future.

    SEASONALITY

    The Company can experience seasonal variances in operations and historically
    has its lowest dollar volume sales months between November and March. With
    the favorable sales of its automated teller machines, however, the Company
    did not experience any downturn during this period. The Company's operating
    results for any particular quarter may not be indicative of the results for
    the future quarter or for the year.

    MAJOR CUSTOMERS AND CREDIT RISKS

    The Company generally does not require collateral or other security from its
    customers and would incur an accounting loss equal to the carrying value of
    the accounts receivable if a customer failed to perform according to the
    terms of the credit arrangements. Sales to major customers were as follows
    for the three and nine months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996:

                                       7

                       Three Months Ended         Nine Months Ended

                       --------   --------     ----------   ----------
          Customer A   $657,930   $     --     $2,933,968   $  442,484
          Customer B    661,816      582,328    1,426,911    1,026,134
          Customer C       --      1,086,673         --      1,086,673
          Customer D       --        699,500         --        699,500

    Foreign sales accounted for 6% and 2% of the Company's total sales during
the three months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively, and 6% and 9% of
the Company's total sales during the nine months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996,
respectively.
