PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
GENERAL
Ultrak, Inc. (the "Company" or "Ultrak") designs, manufactures, markets,
sells and services innovative electronic products and systems for use in
security and surveillance, industrial video and professional audio markets
worldwide. These products and systems include high-speed dome systems, monitors,
switchers, quad processors, time lapse recorders, multiplexers, video
transmission systems, access control systems, a broad line of cameras, lenses,
computerized observation and security systems, audio equipment and accessories.
The Company has generated rapid growth with sales increasing from $1.8 million
in 1987 to $206.4 million in 1999.
It is the Company's objective to set new standards in quality, performance
and value by providing single-source Enterprise Security Solutions to its
customers in the form of integrated systems whereby all closed circuit
television ("CCTV") components, network video, video badging, alarms, access
control, as well as facility and alarm management functions and reporting are
controlled from one single console. Integrated systems better serve the end user
by improving their ease of operation, security, health/safety and loss
prevention, and at the same time reducing maintenance and training costs.
Ultrak's management believes that integrated systems provide customers maximum
functionality at the lowest possible cost.
The Company was incorporated in Colorado in 1980 and re-incorporated in
Delaware in December 1995. In 1997, the Company built a 170,000 square foot
warehouse and headquarters facility known as the Ultrak Worldwide Support Center
located in the north Dallas suburb of Lewisville, Texas. Since January 1, 1998,
the Company's new address is 1301 Waters Ridge Drive, Lewisville, Texas 75057
and its telephone number is (972) 353-6500.
Ultrak operates sales, distribution and manufacturing locations worldwide.
The Company has sales facilities in six U.S. cities, England, France, Germany,
Italy, Poland, Switzerland, Singapore, Australia, and South Africa, as well as
active representation through Company sales representatives and systems
integrators in Bejing, China, Canada, Mexico and Brazil. The Company operates an
e-commerce website for the consumer/do-it-yourself markets under the name
SecurityandMore.com. The Company established a centralized, European
headquarters facility in Antwerp, Belgium in 1999 to coordinate efforts among
its foreign operations. Customers are supported by eight distribution centers
worldwide and manufacturing facilities located in the United States, Australia
and South Africa.
Ultrak's products and systems include Enterprise Security Solutions and
Standard Products.
ENTERPRISE SECURITY SOLUTIONS
As a technology leader in the security and surveillance markets, Ultrak
distinguishes itself from its competitors by providing Ultrak's Enterprise
Security Solutions ("ESS") for manufacturing facilities, airports, office
complexes, government agencies, hospitals, casinos, retail stores and other
organizations that increasingly need integrated electronic security and
surveillance systems. that combine CCTV matrix switching, network digital video
transmission, access control, video badging, intrusion detection, and alarm
management and communications. These products and systems play an increasingly
important role in traffic management and public safety applications.
ESS is available in a building block approach that allows customers to
choose the applications that they need today, yet allows for system expansion at
anytime. Included as part of ESS is the Company's DAVE (Duplex Analog Video
Encoding) Technology system. Ultrak's proprietary DAVE Technology(TM) System
2000 utilizes technology that provides complete and continuous video coverage
using a large array of cameras connected by a single loop of coaxial cable. The
Company sells these products and systems to distributors, dealers and systems
integrators through its own field sales personnel. ESS are customized and scaled
to meet the needs of all of the Company's customers regardless of the business
size. It is the Company's strategy to develop and acquire a comprehensive line
of products and integrated systems, build worldwide sales, service and support
and provide single-source solutions to its customers.

STANDARD PRODUCTS AND INTEGRATED SYSTEMS
The following Ultrak standard products and integrated systems are sold into
the professional security and surveillance markets: cameras, lenses, domes and
housings, monitors, time-lapse and digital recorders, ruggedized cameras,
monitors and recorders for mobile video applications, digital processors (quads
and multiplexers), switchers and video management systems, video transmission
equipment, access control and facility management equipment.
Small businesses and homeowners are installing video observation systems to
replace or supplement conventional alarm systems as CCTV continues to become
more affordable . The consumer do-it-yourself security and surveillance market
consists of those applications in which end users purchase security and
surveillance systems and install the systems themselves in their small
businesses or homes. Video products sold into this market are characterized by
affordability, aesthetically appealing designs, ease of installation and
maintenance and mobility. The typical consumer do-it-yourself market CCTV system
can be wired or wireless and consists of a camera, a monitor, a switcher or quad
processor and, optionally, a video recorder. These products are available in
either black and white or color models. Consumer do-it-yourself CCTV products
are sold through mass merchandisers, warehouse clubs, electronic retail stores,
office and juvenile product superstores, as well as through retail catalogs.
These consumer/do-it-yourself products have also been available since September
1999 through the Company's e-commerce website: SecurityandMore.com.
It is the Company's strategy to provide easy-to-install and easy-to-operate
video products and systems that are "feature rich" and affordably priced. The
Company continues to expand these product lines and introduce these, or similar
products and systems into the European market. The Company sells these products
through a combination of its own sales force and manufacturer's representatives
under the Ultrak brand name.
The professional audio market includes public address equipment for office
complexes, hotels, airports and retail stores. In addition, this market includes
sound reinforcement systems for concert halls, churches, arenas and theaters.
Ultrak produces and markets products for professional audio and sound
reinforcement systems such as amplifiers, speakers, mixers, equalizers,
microphones, CD players, turntables and accessories. The Company sells these
systems through a direct sales force in France and through manufacturer's
representatives in other countries.
Industrial and commercial video products are used in various production and
manufacturing processes. The Company sells to the industrial/commercial markets
through systems integrators, who assemble and sell equipment that incorporates
video cameras. Video cameras are used for machine vision, computer imaging,
robotics, microscopy, high-speed inspection and high temperature furnace
monitoring. The use of industrial video offers more precise assessment than
human visual inspection, and can measure image parameters that are imperceptible
to the human eye. These systems are also used to remotely monitor automated
assembly lines to ensure that each process on the assembly line is accurately
and completely performed. New industrial applications are emerging as new
equipment is developed and as production automation levels increase.
The Company's strategy with regard to the industrial video market is to
strengthen customer loyalty by backing-up advanced products with technical
expertise, a large variety of products and outstanding customer support. The
Company uses a combination of its own sales force and manufacturer's
representatives to sell these products to dealers and OEM accounts.
STRATEGY
Ultrak's strategy is to develop and form relationships with it's
customers-the end users of the Company's solutions-and to provide them with the
high quality and performance products and systems they need and desire
worldwide. The Company is committed to satisfying its customers' needs with
complete security solutions and measures its success by the ability to achieve
this goal. The Company reaches its customers by direct contact with key
influencers/consultants and sells to these customers through its channel
partners, which are dealers, system integrators and distributors. Additionally,
Ultrak's strategy is to provide product improvement that is driven by customer
requirements and to build worldwide marketing capabilities to maximize market
coverage and decrease the time it takes to get its products to market.
With the continued expansion of SecurityandMore.com, the Company's
consumer/do it yourself e-commerce Website launched in September 1999, new
products and information are continuously being added. In light of the high
stock market valuations bestowed upon successful e-commerce companies, the
Company is exploring the sale of a portion of SecurityandMore.com in an initial
public offering with a later spin-off of the remaining shares to Ultrak
shareholders. This scenario would provide SecurityandMore.com with sufficient
capital to grow even faster and would give it the flexibility to grow
unfettered.

ACQUISITIONS
Acquisitions have contributed significantly to the Company's continued
growth over the past five years. The Company believes that acquisitions are an
effective way to obtain new and related products and integrated systems, add
experienced personnel, access additional channels of distribution, expand into
new geographic territories, diversify its customer base and improve operating
efficiencies through economies of scale. As the security industry continues to
consolidate, Ultrak continues to search for growth through acquisitions. During
1997, the Company completed five acquisitions, made a minority investment in one
company and established an 80 percent-owned subsidiary in the Pacific Rim.
During 1998, the Company completed two acquisitions, acquired the minority
interest in its Pacific Rim subsidiary and sold one subsidiary to a third party.

MARKETING AND SALES
Ultrak operates through highly focused selling groups organized according to
Ultrak's target markets. Ultrak's customer-focused structure allows for
individual attention to each target market, quick response to customer needs and
early identification of market requirements and new product ideas. Generally,
the Company reaches each target market through regional sales professionals
supported by telemarketing, product catalogs, direct mail, magazine advertising
and industry trade shows.
Beginning in 1998 and continuing through 1999, the Company began
implementing an internal reorganization of its sales and marketing operations
known as "Team Ultrak" which promotes a unified network of sales professionals
that are highly customer focused. Under this new philosophy, product supply
units, customer service units and technology units have been unified to provide
the Company's sales force with the means to better serve customer needs. New
sales teams have been established in strategic geographic locations in the U.S.
and along product lines. This team approach has been identified as a means for
integrating the sales aspects of various operations acquired by the Company
since 1995 and to encourage cross selling of Ultrak products. With the expansion
of its sales force and its focus on "Team Ultrak" sales approach-providing
solution sales versus product sales- the Company anticipates substantial growth
in sales during 2000 and beyond.
Ultrak strives to meet or exceed its customers' need through the following
operating principles:
o Knowing our customers, the market and our business partners
o Providing business opportunities for our business partners
o Engineering world class security solutions
o Guaranteeing best in class customer support
o Offering ongoing support programs to assure highest long term value
The Company uses various brand names for products sold through each of its
selling groups to maximize market penetration of each selling group, to minimize
market channel conflicts and to differentiate products by features, applications
and price. The Company's proprietary brand names, many of which are registered
trademarks, include Ultrak, Diamond Electronics, MAXPRO, Videosys, SAFEnet,
Exxis, Smart Choice, BST, Industrial Vision Source, SecurityandMore.com and ESS.
Approximately 90% of the products sold by the Company in 1999 carried Ultrak
brand names, up from 87% in 1998 and 85% in 1997. The Company also sells brands
such as Panasonic(R), Mitsubishi(R), and Sony(R).
Ultrak began actively pursuing the international market in 1995. In 1995 and
early 1996, Ultrak sold its products and systems in a number of countries
including Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, England, France, Germany, Denmark, India,
China, South Korea, Japan, The Philippines and Australia. Since the second
quarter of 1996, the Company acquired MAXPRO (Australia), Bisset (France), VideV
(Germany), Intervision (the UK), the Videosys Group (Italy), Philtech (South
Africa), MCS (Switzerland), Mach (Poland) and established a distribution company
in Singapore, which has substantially expanded the Company's presence
internationally. See Note K to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements
with respect to business segments.

PRODUCT DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT
In addition to traditional research and development activities, Ultrak's
engineering and product development staff worldwide works directly with its
customers to design new products and product enhancements, and coordinates with
its contract suppliers to manufacture certain Ultrak branded products. Ultrak
has developed a highly competent engineering staff to work with its selling and
marketing groups to develop new products and product line extensions that
promptly respond to customer needs on a worldwide basis. Consequently, Ultrak
believes that it can develop technologically superior products with
customer-desired performance capabilities that address new applications at lower
prices than competitive products. Increasingly, the Company's products are
computer-based and software-driven to support the integration of technologies
and functions into its customers' businesses.
As of December 31, 1999, the Company had a full-time engineering staff of 85
employees compared to only four as of December 31, 1994. Because of the complex
and highly specialized requirements of Ultrak products and systems, these
employees are experienced in a wide range of engineering disciplines including
charged-coupled device ("CCD") technology, analog and digital signal processing,
CCTV management and switching technology, computer based access control
technology, facility management technology and high speed dome technology. In
addition, the Company's international contract manufacturers employ a number of
engineers who are primarily dedicated to research and development efforts of
products sold by Ultrak.
In 1999, the Company introduced its computer-based SAFEnet NT system, the
Windows-NT(R) version of Ultrak's flagship line of integrated access control and
security systems. At the core of the Company's ESS offerings, SAFEnet NT
provides a stable, flexible platform for the integration of new functions and
technologies. 1999 also marked the start of a major development effort to
redesign and streamline the SAFEnet field hardware which the Company expects to
be completed by mid-2000 incorporating a new distributed architecture that was
developed specifically for the SAFEnet system.
PRODUCTS AND SYSTEMS
The Company's motto, "Quality Products That Make a Difference," encapsulates
the Company's strategy of developing technologically advanced and cost-effective
products and systems that are unique and solve customers' specific needs or
problems. Through in-house product development, and with the product lines the
Company has obtained through acquisitions, Ultrak offers a broad line of Ultrak
branded products and systems. The Company's brand names include Ultrak, Diamond
Electronics, MAXPRO, VideV Systems, Videosys, SAFEnet, Exxis, Smart Choice, BST,
Industrial Vision Source and ESS. Approximately 90% of the products sold by the
Company in 1999 carried the Company's brand names. The Company continues to
offer brands such as Panasonic, Mitsubishi, Dedicated Micros and Sony.
The Company's products and systems include a broad line of cameras, lenses,
high-speed dome and housings, monitors, time-lapse and digital recorders,
digital processors, switchers and video management systems, ESS, the DAVE
Technology(TM) system, video transmission equipment access control and facility
management equipment, control matrix switching systems and accessories,
professional audio products, video printers, video otoscopes and furnace viewing
products.
OPERATIONS
A critical element of the Company's operations are its management
information systems. In early 1997, the Company selected SAP, a leading
enterprise software system, for its domestic information needs. As of February
1998, the Company and it's related domestic facilities, had successfully
completed the SAP conversion process at its Lewisville, Texas Worldwide Support
Center. As previously anticipated, SAP will unite Ultrak and all of its domestic
subsidiaries with a common inventory, sales, accounting/financial and database
management system by mid-2000. Via laptop computers, the Ultrak domestic sales
team can easily communicate with the host system from any remote location.
Internationally, the Company has selected "Exact", a multilingual, multicurrency
and Euro compliant software for its European information needs. By mid-2000, all
of the Companies European operations will be live on the "Exact" software and
will be linked together with a common inventory, sales, accounting and financial
system.
Ultrak believes that one of the keys to its success is its commitment to be
responsive and provide excellent service to its customers. Domestic orders are
entered into the Company's Lewisville, Texas-based SAP computer system either
directly by the customer through electronic data interchange, by traveling sales
representatives using laptop computers or by in-house sales personnel. After the
computer system performs an automated check of the customer's account and credit
limit, the order is released to be shipped from available inventory at one of
the four domestic stocking warehouse locations. Because the Company maintains
domestically a relatively large inventory of products, it ships most items
within 24 hours of receipt of the order. The Company's domestic stocking
7
8
warehouse locations are Lewisville (Dallas), Texas; Austin, Texas; Rancho
Cucamonga (Ontario), California; and Carroll (Columbus), Ohio. Approximately 91%
of all domestic shipments are made from the Lewisville, Texas warehouse.
The Company also considers continuous training of its customers to be
critical in an ever-increasing competitive market. In 1999, the Company's
training capabilities were doubled and there are now three training rooms at the
Ultrak Worldwide Support Center in Lewisville, Texas. Multiple training sessions
on Ultrak's products and systems are continue all year with salespeople,
customers and field installation technicians attending to learn more about our
technology and products.
With respect to Ultrak branded products produced by contract manufacturers,
most of these products are made exclusively for the Company or there are limited
or no competitive sales of such products in the areas served by the Company. The
Company believes that its relationships with its contract suppliers are good. In
most of these relationships, the Company believes that the relationship is as
important to the supplier as it is to the Company. Thus, the Company believes
that there is a strong, mutually advantageous basis for the trading relationship
to continue and grow. See Note G to the Company's Consolidated Financial
Statements with regard to Major Customers and Suppliers.
Delivery times for products manufactured abroad vary from one week to two
months, depending on the mode of transportation. Because of foreign production
lead times, the Company normally makes purchase commitments to these foreign
suppliers three to six months in advance of shipment. Therefore, management
believes it is necessary for the Company to commit to and carry larger levels of
inventory than would be necessary if it manufactured all of its products
domestically. Given order lead times, accurate inventory forecasting is
critical.
Substantially all of the Company's purchases from its non-affiliated
contract manufacturers are made in United States Dollars or the Euro with the
remaining purchases made in Japanese Yen, Australian Dollars, the South African
Rand and English Pounds. To date, the Company's purchases have not been
materially adversely affected by fluctuations in the valuation of any
international currency. It is expected that the Company will continue to
purchase the vast majority of its products in United States Dollars (for it's
U.S. operations) or the Euro (for it's European operations).
To ensure complete customer service and satisfaction, Ultrak offers
third-party leasing services and after-sale service for all equipment sold by
the Company.
Ultrak offers a limited warranty on all products shipped. The Company
generally warrants that its products will conform to Ultrak's published
specifications and be free from defects in materials and workmanship at the time
of sale.
When goods are delivered to Ultrak, a random sampling quality assurance
procedure is performed. Selected units are verified for functionality, proper
packaging, labeling and documentation. The Company's primary contract
manufacturer is ISO9001 certified. The quality assurance procedures in the
Company's Ohio plant and California facility comply with ISO9001 specifications.
The Company is currently in the process of obtaining ISO9001 certification on
its Lewisville, Texas facility, which is expected to be completed by Q2 2001.
BACKLOG
As of December 31, 1999 and 1998, the Company had approximately $14.9
million and $13.1 million respectively, in order backlog which it considered to
be firm. Because purchase orders are subject to cancellation or delay by
customers with limited or no penalty, the Company's backlog is not necessarily
indicative of future revenues or earnings. Since the Company ships most products
within 24 hours of receipt of the order, the Company believes that backlog is
not a significant measurement of the Company's financial position.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
As part of its ongoing engineering and development activities, Ultrak seeks
patent protection on inventions covering new products and improvements when
appropriate. Ultrak currently holds a number of United States and foreign
patents and has a number of pending patent applications. Although the Company's
patents have value, the Company believes that the success of its business
depends more on innovation, sales efforts, superior customer service, technical
expertise and knowledge of its personnel and other factors. The Company also
relies upon trade secret protection for its confidential and proprietary
information. Many of the Company's brands are registered trademarks owned by the
Company.

COMPETITION
The Company faces substantial competition in each of its markets.
Significant competitive factors in the Company's markets include price, quality
and product performance, breadth of product line and customer service and
support. Some of the Company's existing and potential competitors have
substantially greater financial, manufacturing, marketing and other resources
than the Company. To compete successfully, the Company must continue to make
substantial investments in its engineering and development, marketing, sales,
customer service and support activities. There can be no assurance that
competitors will not develop products that offer price or performance features
superior the Company's products.
The Company considers its major competitors to be the CCTV and access
control operations of Sensormatic Electronics Corporation, Burle (part of
Philips Communication & Security Systems, Inc.), Panasonic, Pelco, Vicon
Industries, Inc. and Casi- Rusco.
EMPLOYEES
As of December 31, 1999, the Company had 695 full-time employees employed
worldwide at 15 primary locations and 12 field sales offices, of which 283 were
sales and sales support personnel, 140 were warehouse/manufacturing personnel,
78 were technical/service personnel, 85 were engineering and product development
personnel and 109 were administrative and managerial personnel. The Company's
future success will depend in large part upon its ability to attract and retain
highly skilled technical, managerial, financial and marketing personnel, in a
market where such people are in demand. No employee is represented by a union or
covered by a collective bargaining agreement and the Company has not experienced
a work stoppage or strike. The Company considers its employee relations to be
good.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Ultrak and its
15 consolidated subsidiaries. The Company is further organized in the U.S. into
separate selling divisions; all supported by common administrative functions
such as credit, accounting, payroll, purchasing, legal, warehousing, training
and computer support services. All significant intercompany balances and
transactions among subsidiaries and divisions have been eliminated in
consolidation.
The Company has experienced substantial growth in recent years. Net sales
have grown from $1.8 million in 1987 to $206.4 million in 1999. Increases in net
sales have come from increased volume of sales of existing products and systems
to all of the markets served by the Company, introduction and sales of new
products and systems, creation of new selling groups to focus on new markets and
acquisitions of businesses in the security and surveillance, access control
industries and alarm monitoring industries.
In 1996, the Company completed three international acquisitions and made a
minority investment in a fourth company. Effective July 1, 1996, Ultrak acquired
approximately 75% of the outstanding stock of MAXPRO, a manufacturer of large
scale CCTV switching systems based in Perth, Western Australia. On February 17,
1997, the Company acquired the remainder of the outstanding stock of MAXPRO. On
September 6, 1996, Ultrak acquired and subsequently sold in September 1997 its
interest in approximately 24% of the outstanding stock of Lenel, a domestic
security access control software company. Effective October 1, 1996, Ultrak
acquired all of the outstanding share capital of Bisset, a distributor of CCTV
and professional audio products based in Paris, France. Effective December 1,
1996, Ultrak acquired all of the outstanding stock of VideV, a distributor and
manufacturer of CCTV products based in Dusseldorf, Germany. All of these
transactions were accounted for as purchases and the operations have been
included in the Company's financial statements since the dates of acquisition.
In 1997, the Company completed five acquisitions and made a minority
investment in a sixth company. Effective February 1, 1997, Ultrak acquired all
of the outstanding stock of MDI, a manufacturer of security and access control
systems based in Rancho Cucamonga, California. Effective March 1, 1997, the
Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of Intervision, a distributor of
CCTV products and systems based in England. Effective April 1, 1997, Ultrak
acquired all of the outstanding stock of the Videosys Group, a distributor of
CCTV and security products and systems based in Italy. Also effective April 1,
1997, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of Veravision, a
manufacturer of intraoral dental camera products based in San Clemente,
California. Effective October 1, 1997, the Company acquired all of the
outstanding stock of Philtech, a manufacturer and distributor of CCTV switching
and control equipment based in South Africa. Effective November 1997, the
Company established an 80% owned company in Singapore. All of these transactions
were accounted for as purchases and the operations have been included in the
Company's financial statements since the dates of acquisition.
In 1998, the Company made one acquisition and acquired the 20% minority
interest in its Singapore operation. As of February 1, 1998, the Company
acquired the net assets of Norbain-France, a distributor of CCTV products based
in Paris, France. Effective August 1, 1998, the Company sold its 90% owned
subsidiary, DVD, to a third party.
In 1999, the Company completed three acquisitions. Effective March 1, 1999,
Ultrak acquired all of the outstanding stock of ABM, a company that develops and
sells computer software for the alarm monitoring security industry based in
Austin, Texas. Effective April 1, 1999 Ultrak acquired all of the outstanding
stock of Multi Concepts Systemes, SA, an integrator of electronic security
systems based in Crissier, Switzerland. Effective July 1, 1999, the Company
acquired all of the outstanding stock of Mach Security, Sp. z.o.o., a
distributor of CCTV products based in Szczecin, Poland.
Product sales are recorded when goods are shipped to the customer. Most of
the Company's sales are made to its domestic customers on Net 30 or Net 60 day
credit terms after a credit review has been performed to establish
creditworthiness and to determine an appropriate credit limit. The Company's
international sales are made under varying terms depending upon the
creditworthiness of the customer, and include the use of letters of credit,
payment in advance of shipment or open trade terms. Sales to one legal entity
accounted for approximately 21% of total sales during 1999, 17% of total sales
during 1998 and 12% of total sales during 1997. However, sales to this legal
entity are made independently via two separate business segments within the
Company to two separate buying organizations within the legal entity.
13
14
Cost of sales for most of the Company's products includes the cost of the
product shipped plus freight, customs and other costs associated with delivery
from foreign contract manufacturers or from domestic suppliers. Cost of sales
for products manufactured by Ultrak include material, direct labor and overhead
as well as an allocated portion of indirect overhead.
Marketing and sales expenses are costs related to the Company's sales
efforts, which include costs incurred by both direct employees of the Company
and independent sales representatives. Marketing and sales expenses consist
primarily of salaries, commissions and related benefits, depreciation,
telephone, advertising, warranty, printing, product literature, sales promotion
and travel-related costs.
General and administrative expenses include costs of all corporate and
general administrative functions that support the existing selling divisions as
well as provides the infrastructure for future growth. General and
administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and related benefits of
executive, administrative, operations and engineering, research and development
personnel, legal, audit and other professional fees, supplies, other engineering
costs and travel-related costs. During 1997, 1998 and 1999 the Company added new
corporate management in several areas to help facilitate and manage its growth.
Engineering, research and product development costs are included in general
and administrative expenses and consist primarily of salaries, overhead and
material costs associated with the development of new products offered by the
Company. All such R&D costs have been expensed when incurred.
During the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, the Company capitalized
approximately $1.7 and $1.5 million, respectively, in software development costs
primarily pertaining to its SAFEnet NT software and its ESS software development
projects. The Company's investment in engineering, research and software
development projects increased significantly during 1997, and have continued to
increase on an absolute basis in 1998 and 1999.
The Company's consolidated financial statements are denominated in dollars
and, accordingly, changes in the exchange rate between the Company's
subsidiaries' local currencies and the dollar will affect the conversion of such
subsidiaries' financial results into dollars for purposes of reporting the
Company's consolidated financial results. Translation adjustments are reported
as a separate component of stockholders' equity.
A substantial portion of the Company's purchases and sales are derived from
operations outside the United States. Since the revenues and expenses of the
Company's foreign operations are generally denominated in local currency,
exchange rate fluctuations between local currencies and the dollar subject the
Company to currency exchange risks with respect to the results of its foreign
operations. Therefore, the Company is subject to these risks to the extent that
it is unable to denominate its purchases or sales in dollars or otherwise shift
to its customers or suppliers the effects of currency exchange rate
fluctuations. Such fluctuations in exchange rates could have a material adverse
effect on the Company's results of operations. The Company did not have foreign
exchange forward or currency option contracts outstanding at December 31, 1999.

Financial Statements and notes thereto included herein.

========== ========== ==========
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999 COMPARED WITH YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998
For the year ended December 31, 1999, net sales were $206.4 million, an
increase of $11.2 million (6%) over 1998. This increase was primarily due to the
internal growth from sales of new products and systems introduced in late 1998
and early 1999, and acquisitions completed during 1999.
Cost of sales were $138.6 million for 1999, an increase of $6.9 million (5%)
over 1998. Gross profit margins increased to 32.9% in 1999 from 32.6% in 1998.
This increase in gross profit margin was due primarily to increased sales of
Ultrak branded products and higher margins earned on its software based
products.
Marketing and sales expenses were $35.5 million for 1999, an increase of
$4.6 million (15%) over 1998. Marketing and sales expenses for 1999 were 17.2%
of net sales, up from 15.8% in 1998. This increase was due to the effect of
acquisitions completed during 1999, the effect of hiring additional field sales
personnel and the effect of hiring additional sales support and marketing
personnel in anticipation of new product introductions and resulting sales
activities, as well as the increased travel, printing, product literature,
advertising and promotion costs associated with the introduction of new
products.
General and administrative expenses were $21.7 million for 1999, an increase
of $1.8 million (9%) over 1998. General and administrative expenses for 1999
were 10.5% of net sales, up from 10.2% of net sales in 1998. This increase was
primarily due to the effect of acquisitions in 1999 and the costs related to the
establishment of the Company's European headquarters in Antwerp, Belgium.
Depreciation and amortization expenses were $5.9 million for 1999, an increase
of $1.2 million (27%) over 1998. Depreciation and amortization expenses for 1999
were 2.9% of net sales, up from 2.4% of net sales in 1998 due to increased
capital expenditures in 1998 and 1999. .
Included in the Company's 1999 results is a special charge of $3,875,000
related to restructuring of our Europe and domestic operations. This
restructuring effort is pursuant to a specific plan of action intended to take
advantage of new opportunities and consolidation and centralization of European
activities. In the first quarter of 1999, the Company recorded nonrecurring
charges of $750,000 related to domestic severance obligations. During the second
quarter of 1999, the Company recorded nonrecurring charges of $3,125,000 related
to consolidation of four locations into it's European headquarters in Antwerp,
Belgium in order to centralize
15
16
administrative, accounting and finance functions including centralization of
purchasing, shipping and billing activities. Also included in these nonrecurring
charges were employee severance and lease termination costs for the European
consolidation and the closing of three U.S. sales/distribution offices.
Other income was approximately $1.1 million for 1999, an increase of
$590,000 from 1998. This increase was due to equity in earnings of Detection
Systems, Inc. ("DETC") and gains on sale of investments offset by increased
interest expense.
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998 COMPARED WITH YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997
For the year ended December 31, 1998, net sales were $195.2 million, an
increase of $20.3 million (12%) over 1997. This increase was due to the effect
of new acquisitions during 1997, sales of new products introduced during late
1997 and 1998 and increased volume of sales of existing CCTV products to most of
the markets served by the Company.
Cost of sales were $131.7 million for 1998, an increase of $10.8 million
(9%) over 1997. Gross profit margins increased to 32.6% in 1998 from 30.9% in
1997. This increase was due to the continued increased sales levels of
Ultrak-branded products, cost reductions realized on certain Ultrak-branded
products and somewhat higher margins earned on software based products and other
new products introduced during late 1997 and 1998.
Marketing and sales expenses were $30.9 million for 1998, an increase of
$4.2 million (16%) over 1997. Marketing and sales expenses for 1998 were 15.8%
of net sales, up from 15.3% in 1997. This increase was due to the effect of
hiring additional sales, sales support and marketing personnel in conjunction
with new product introductions and resulting sales activities, as well as the
increased travel, printing, product literature, advertising and promotion costs
associated with the introduction of new products.
General and administrative expenses were $19.9 million for 1998, an increase
of $.8 million (4%) over 1997. General and administrative expenses for 1998 were
10.2% of net sales, down from 10.9% of net sales in 1997. This decrease was a
result of less hiring and selective employee terminations later in the year and
the Company's efforts to reduce its general and administrative costs as a
percentage of sales. Depreciation and amortization expenses were $4.7 million
for 1997, an increase of $.7 million (18%) over 1997. Depreciation and
amortization expenses for 1998 were 2.4% of net sales, slightly up from 2.3% of
net sales in 1997.
Other income was approximately $.5 million for 1998, a decrease of $2.5
million from 1997. This decrease was due to the Company's shift during mid 1997
to invest excess funds in marketable equity securities (including the investment
in DETC) instead of interest bearing investments, the use of cash to fund the
Company's stock repurchase program and the increase in expense on bank
borrowings during 1998.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company had a net increase in cash and cash equivalents for 1999 of
approximately $277,000. Net cash provided by operating activities for the period
was approximately $12.8 million, primarily consisting of increases in accounts
and notes payable, and decreases in advances for inventory purchases, noncurrent
notes and other assets offset partially by increases in inventory and accounts
receivables. Net cash used in investing activities was approximately $5.8
million consisting of purchases of marketable securities, purchases of property
and equipment, primarily related to the worldwide computer software
implementations, software development capitalization costs and net cash paid for
acquisitions offset by proceeds from sales of marketable securities. Net cash
used by financing activities was approximately $7.1 million, consisting
primarily of purchases of treasury stock and the payment of dividends on the
Company's outstanding Series A Preferred Stock offset by net repayments on its
bank credit facility and proceeds from exercises of stock options.
On March 22, 2000, the Company entered into a new two-year credit facility.
The credit facility provides for borrowings up to $45.0 million under a
revolving line of credit based upon available collateral. Interest for the
credit facility is payable quarterly at prime plus a range of 0% to .25% or
LIBOR plus a range of 2.25% to 2.75%, depending on the leverage ratio and other
conditions, as defined, for the quarter. The credit facility contains certain
restrictive financial and operational covenants and conditions, including a
maximum leverage ratio, a debt service ratio and minimum net worth amounts. The
Company pays a quarterly unused fee of .375% per annum.
The Company believes that internally generated funds, available borrowings
under the new credit facility and current amounts of cash will be sufficient to
meet its presently anticipated needs for working capital, capital expenditures
and acquisitions, if any, for at least the next 12 months.

DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
During 1997, the Company sold equity put options covering 2.6 million
shares. As of December 31, 1998, one equity put option remained outstanding and
the Company has recorded on the balance sheet its potential repurchase
obligation related to the put option totaling $1.6 million at its exercise price
of $12.51 per share. The single remaining put option was exercised on January
13, 1999 with the Company purchasing 125,000 shares of its Common Stock. As of
December 31, 1999, there were no outstanding equity put options.
YEAR 2000 COSTS
The Year 2000 issue presented a pervasive and complex set of issues in the
business environment, as virtually every computer operation within the Company
could have been affected in some way by the rollover of the two-digit year value
to "00". The issue is whether systems would properly recognize date sensitive
information when the year changed to 2000. Systems that did not properly
recognize such information could generate erroneous data or cause complete
system failures. With respect to its internal systems, the Company continues the
process of implementing a multi-lingual and multi-currency enterprise software
at all of Ultrak's facilities worldwide. As of August 1998, the Company had
successfully completed the conversion process to SAP at its Worldwide Service
and Support Center, as well as four other domestic facilities. SAP's software
and all associated third party applications are represented to be Year 2000
compliant and the Company has not experienced any material difficulty or events
of failure with SAP. The Company's Ohio manufacturing facility existing business
systems were upgraded as of September 1999, and the Company anticipates
conversion of the Ohio facility to SAP by mid-2000. In January 2000, the Company
successfully completed implementation of SAP at its Austin, Texas location.
European implementation began in March 1999 using "Exact" software, a European
multilingual, multi-currency Y2K and Euro compliant software. For all European
systems that were not Year 2000 compliant, the Company has successfully
converted those computer systems as of December 31, 1999. During the years ended
December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, the Company incurred approximately $3.2
million, $6.3 million and $1.6 million, respectively, related to its
implementation of SAP in the U.S and Exact in Europe. It is expected that the
remaining phases of the "Exact" implementation in Europe will additionally cost
approximately $500,000, which will be incurred in 2000. Such costs are expected
to be capitalized and amortized over the estimated useful life of the software.
Following the millenium event on January 1, 2000, the Company has not
experienced any material or adverse consequences as a result of a Year 2000
computer error. Based upon the completion of conversions to SAP in 1999 and
anticipated completions in 2000, and discussions with its primary suppliers and
vendors, the Company does not believe that the Year 2000 issues will have a
material impact on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows
of the Company. However, there can be no assurances that the Company will not
experience serious unanticipated negative consequences and/or material costs in
the future caused by undetected errors or defects in the technology used in the
Company's internal systems, which are composed of third party software, third
party hardware that contains embedded software and the Company's own software
products.
INFLATION
During the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, the cost of
property and equipment, lease expense and salaries and wages increased modestly.
The increases have not had a material impact on the Company's results of
operations during any of the periods.
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The following discussion about the Company's market risk includes
"forward-looking statements" that involve risks and uncertainties. Actual
results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking
statements. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for
speculative or trading purposes. The Company is exposed to market risk from
changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates which could affect
its future results of operations and financial condition. The Company manages
its exposure to these risks through its regular operating and financing
activities.
Foreign exchange
The Company has foreign-based operations, primarily in Western Europe, which
accounted for 31% of 1999 net sales. The Company issues intercompany loans to
its foreign subsidiaries denominated in U.S. dollars on a long-term basis,
exposing the foreign subsidiaries to the effect of changes in spot exchange
rates of their local currency relative to the U.S. dollar. In addition, many of
the
17
18
foreign-based operations make sales to customers denominated in different
currencies, which carry minimal market risk because the transactions normally
settle quickly. The Company does not regularly use forward-exchange contracts to
hedge these exposures. Based on the Company's foreign currency exchange rate
exposure for intercompany borrowings of approximately $20 million at December
31, 1999, a 10% adverse change in currency rates would reduce accumulated other
comprehensive income by approximately $2.0 million.
Interest rates
The Company's credit arrangements expose it to fluctuations in interest
rates. At December 31, 1999, the Company had $37 million outstanding under its
revolving line of credit, which provided for interest to be paid quarterly based
on a variable rate. Thus, interest rate changes would result in a change in the
amount of interest to be paid each quarter. Based upon the interest rates and
borrowings at December 31, 1999, a 10% increase in interest rates would
adversely affect the Company's financial position, annual results of operations,
or cash flows by approximately $300,000.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
Board of Directors
Ultrak, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Ultrak, Inc. and
Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the related consolidated
statements of income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended December 31, 1999. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Ultrak, Inc. and
Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the consolidated results of
their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 1999, in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States.

ULTRAK, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE A - NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Operations
Ultrak, Inc. (the "Company") is a U.S.-based multinational corporation that
designs, manufactures, markets sells and services electronic products and
systems for the security and surveillance, industrial and medical video and
professional audio markets worldwide. These products and systems include a
broad line of cameras, lenses, high-speed dome systems, monitors, switchers,
quad processors, time-lapse recorders, multiplexers, video transmission
systems, access control systems, computerized observation and security
systems, audio equipment and accessories.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities
of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Marketable Securities
The Company accounts for its marketable securities, all of which are
designated as available for sale, using Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities." Securities available for sale are reported at fair value, with
unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, excluded from earnings and reported
as a separate component of stockholders' equity. Realized gains and losses
on securities available for sale are reported in income in the year of sale.
Inventories
Inventories are comprised principally of goods held for resale, which are
valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market.
Advances for Inventory
Advances for inventory represents payments in advance for goods purchased
primarily from the Far East. Upon receipt of the goods, advances are
classified as inventories.
Property, Plant and Equipment and Depreciation
Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost. The provision for
depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated
useful lives of the assets.

NOTE A - NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES -
Continued
Income Per Share
The Company computes basic income per share based on the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding. Diluted income per share is computed
based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding, plus the number
of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive
potential common shares had been issued.
Goodwill and Amortization
Goodwill resulting from acquisitions is being amortized using the
straight-line method over periods ranging from twenty to forty years.
Accounting for Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company evaluates long-lived assets and intangibles held and used for
impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Impairment is recognized when the
undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less
than the carrying amounts of such assets.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company's financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents,
notes receivable, debt and equity put options for which the fair value
approximates the carrying value.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation to employees using the
intrinsic value method. Accordingly, compensation cost for stock options is
measured as the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the Company's
stock at the date of the grant over the amount an employee must pay to
acquire the stock.
Software Development Costs
The Company capitalizes software development costs incurred from the time
technological feasibility of the software is established until the software
is ready for use in its products. Research and development costs related to
software development are expensed as incurred. The capitalized costs relate
to software which will become an integral part of the Company's revenue
producing products and are amortized in relation to expected revenues from
the product or a maximum of five years, whichever is greater. The carrying
value of software development costs is regularly reviewed by the Company,
and a loss is recognized when the net realizable value by product falls
below the unamortized cost.

Currency Translation
Translation adjustments to the financial statements of foreign subsidiaries
are reflected in the consolidated financial statements as a component of
other comprehensive income.
Advertising Expense
The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Total advertising
expense amounted to approximately $1,099,000, $1,306,000, and $987,000 for
the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998, and 1997, respectively.
Use of Estimates
In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
Income Taxes
The Company utilizes the asset and liability approach to financial
accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and
liabilities are computed annually for differences between the financial
statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in
taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and
rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to
affect taxable income.
Derivative Financial Instruments
Equity put options on common stock represent the number of options sold at
their respective strike price. Proceeds from the sale of equity put options
on common stock are accounted for as additional paid-in capital.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior years financial statements
to conform with the 1999 presentation.

NOTE F - STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company's 1988 Nonqualified Stock Option Plan (the "1988 Plan") provides
for grants of options for up to 1,200,000 shares and the 1997 Incentive
Stock Option Plan (the "1997 Plan") provides for grants of options for up to
400,000 shares. Shares under the 1997 Plan are awarded based upon the
Company achieving one or more definitive performance measurements for a
fiscal year, including minimum levels of economic value added, minimum
levels of market value added or attainment of the financial budget. The 1997
Plan is a formula-based plan administered by the Compensation Committee of
the Board of Directors. Option grants under the 1997 Plan are limited to 1%
of the outstanding common stock of the Company. At December 31, 1999,
384,669 and 261,359 shares were available for grant under the 1988 Plan and
the 1997 Plan, respectively.
Option exercise prices are equal to the market price at the date of grant.
Shares under grant generally become exercisable in five equal annual
installments beginning one year after the date of grant, and expire after
ten years.
If the Company recognized compensation expense as permitted under Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, based upon the fair value at the
grant date for options granted after 1994 under the 1988 Plan and 1997 Plan,
the Company's net income from continuing operations and income per share

The fair value of these options was estimated at the date of grant using the
Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average
assumptions: expected volatility of 55 to 80 percent; risk-free interest
rates of 4.8 to 6.5 percent; no dividend yield; and expected lives of seven
years.
The pro forma amounts presented are not representative of the amounts that
will be disclosed in the future because they do not take into effect pro

NOTE G - MAJOR CUSTOMERS AND SUPPLIERS
Sales to one legal entity accounted for approximately 21% of total sales
during 1999, 17% of total sales during 1998 and 12% of total sales during
1997. However, sales to this legal entity are made independently via two
separate business segments of the Company to two separate buying
organizations within the legal entity. Loss of one of these customers may
have a material adverse effect on the operations of the Company.
The Company purchased in excess of 20% of its products from one contract
manufacturer in each of the three years in the period ended December 31,
1999. Although there are a limited number of manufacturers of the Company's
products, management believes there are suppliers who could provide similar
products on comparable terms. A change in suppliers could cause a delay in
and a possible loss of sales.
