NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1—Basis of Presentation and Operations

        In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position of Iteris Holdings, Inc. (the "Company") as of December 31, 2003 and the consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2002 and 2003. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the Unites States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of those to be expected for the entire year. The accompanying consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2003, as amended, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

        During the nine months ended December 31, 2003, the Company incurred a net loss of $110,000, and used $2.4 million of net cash to fund its operations. The Company's net loss included non-cash charges related to depreciation and amortization of $643,000 and charges for minority interest in earnings of its Iteris subsidiary of $2.5 million, and was impacted by non-cash gains of $1.6 million related to the amortization of deferred gain on the sale of its facilities, which was completed in September 2002. During the nine months ended December 31, 2003 the Company issued common stock to raise approximately $2.2 million. These proceeds, in addition to cash generated from other asset sales discussed below, were used to fund a $3.1 million reduction of accounts payable and accrued expenses, which is reflected in net cash used in operating activities. The Company also used net cash from operations to fund an increase in accounts receivable of $489,000, an increase in inventories of $176,000, and an increase in prepaid expenses and other assets of $297,000. At December 31, 2003, the Company had cash of $329,000.

        In May 2003, the Company completed the sale of substantially all of the assets of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Zyfer, Inc., for an aggregate purchase price of $2.3 million in cash plus the assumption of certain liabilities. The asset purchase agreement provides for future contingent incentive payments of up to $1.0 million in each of the next two-twelve-month periods, based on the revenues generated from the sale of Zyfer's products or the license of its technologies. To date no payments have been recieved under the agreement.

        In July 2003, the Company completed a private placement of 3,666,666 shares of its Class A common stock to an institutional investor group raising net proceeds of $2.2 million in cash. In connection with this offering, the Company also issued warrants to the investors to purchase up to another 366,666 shares of Class A common stock at an exercise price of $1.50 per share. The warrants are exercisable at any time by the investors and expire in July 2006.

        In July 2003, the Company concluded a restructuring of its facility lease obligations for its principal operating facilities located in Anaheim, California. Under the revised terms, the Company and its Iteris, Inc. subsidiary entered into two separate leases for space totaling 80,000 square feet located at its current Anaheim location. The Company has been relieved of a continuing lease obligation on approximately 257,000 square feet. In consideration for the restructured agreement, the Company paid the lessor approximately $2.5 million in restricted cash that had been previously pledged as collateral on the lease, in addition to issuing the lessor 425,000 shares of its Class A common stock and a note payable for $811,000.

        In September 2003, the Company sold substantially all of the assets of its MAXxess Systems, Inc. subsidiary, and the assets of its Broadcast, Inc. subsidiary, which had been idle since March 2003. The

7



consideration for the MAXxess sale consisted of the assumption of $2.7 million of certain liabilities resulting in a net gain of $2.3 million. As a result of the sale of the assets of MAXxess and Broadcast, the Company currently solely operates the business of Iteris, Inc.

        The accompanying financial statements for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2002 and 2003 have been restated to reflect the discontinuation of the operations of Broadcast, Zyfer and MAXxess and, accordingly, continuing operations only reflect the operations of Iteris, Inc.

        The Company has lease commitments for facilities in various locations throughout the United States. The annual commitment under these noncancelable operating leases, including the leaseback of the Anaheim facilities, at December 31, 2003 is as follows:

Fiscal Year

  (in thousands)
Remainder of 2004     $ 382
2005     $ 1,464
2006     $ 1,191
2007     $ 663
2008     $

        The Company has historically experienced significant net losses including $4.4 million in fiscal 2003 and $5.2 million in fiscal 2002. While the Company has substantially reduced its operating losses in recent periods, the Company has experienced negative cash flows from operations in the amount of $2.4 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2003, $4.8 million in fiscal 2003 and $18.2 million in fiscal 2002, and had a stockholders' deficit of $1.6 million at December 31, 2003. The Company's operations may continue to use net cash at least through the end of Fiscal 2004. These conditions, together with the Company's recurring losses, cash requirements and stockholders' deficit, raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

Note 2—Income Taxes

        Income taxes for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2002 and 2003 have been provided at the estimated annualized effective tax rates based on the estimated income tax liability or assets and change in deferred taxes for their respective fiscal years. Deferred taxes result primarily from temporary differences in the reporting of income for financial statement and income tax purposes. These differences relate principally to the use of accelerated cost recovery depreciation methods for tax purposes, capitalization of interest and taxes for tax purposes, deferred compensation, other payroll accruals, reserves for inventory and accounts receivable for financial statement purposes and general business tax credit and alternative minimum tax credit carryforwards for tax purposes. The Company owns less than 80% of its operating subsidiary, Iteris, Inc. and accordingly does not file a consolidated federal tax return. Income tax expense of $293,000 and $774,000 in the three and nine months ended December 31, 2003, respectively, reflects the estimated tax provision of Iteris, Inc. based upon its actual taxable income.

Note 5—Recent Accounting Pronouncements

        In November 2002, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) issued EITF No. 00-21, "Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables," which provides guidance on the timing and method of revenue recognition for sales arrangements that include the delivery of more than one product or service. EITF No. 00-21 is effective prospectively for arrangements entered into in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2003. The adoption of EITF No. 00-21 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

        In December 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure" (SFAS No. 148) which is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002. SFAS No. 148 amends Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" (SFAS No. 123) to provide alternative methods of transition to SFAS No. 123's fair value method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation if a company elects to account for its equity awards under this method. SFAS No. 148 also amends the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123 and Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 28, "Interim Financial Reporting", (APB 25) to require disclosure effects of an entity's accounting policy with respect to stock-based employee compensation on reported net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share in both annual and interim financial statements. The Company follows the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS No. 123, as amended by SFAS No. 148, and, accordingly, accounts for its stock-based compensation plans using the intrinsic value method under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" and related interpretations.

        In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51," (FIN 46). FIN 46 requires certain variable interest entities ("VIEs") to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary of the entity if the equity investors in the entity do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. FIN 46 is effective for all new VIEs created or acquired after January 31, 2003. For VIEs created or acquired prior to February 1, 2003, the provisions of FIN 46 must be applied for the first interim or annual period ending after March 15, 2004. The adoption of FIN 46 has not and is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

        In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS 150, "Accounting For Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity", (SFAS No. 150) which establishes standards for how an issuer of financial instruments classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within its

10



scope as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances) if, at inception, the monetary value of the obligation is based solely or predominantly on a fixed monetary amount known at inception, variations in something other than the fair value of the issuer's equity shares or variations inversely related to changes in the fair value of the issuer's equity shares. SFAS No. 150 is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The adoption of SFAS 150 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Note 8—Discontinued Operations

        In August 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets SFAS 144. SFAS 144 supersedes FASB Statement No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of; however, it retains the fundamental provisions of that statement related to the recognition and measurement of the impairment of long-lived assets to be "held and used." SFAS 144 also supersedes the accounting and reporting provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30, Reporting the Results of Operation's—Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions APB 30, for the disposal of a segment of a business. Under SFAS 144, a component of a business that is held for sale is reported in discontinued operations if (i) the operations and cash flows will be, or have been, eliminated from the ongoing operations of the company and, (ii) the company will not have any significant continuing involvement in such operations. In the quarter ended September 30, 2001, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 144 effective April 1, 2001.

        In March 2003, the Company decided to divest its Zyfer, Inc. subsidiary. In May 2003, the Company completed the sale of substantially all of the net assets of Zyfer, with a net book value of approximately $2.3 million, for $2.3 million. The Company may also receive contingent incentive payments of up to $1 million in each of the twelve month periods ended April 30, 2004 and 2005 based on the revenues generated from the sale of Zyfer's products or the license of its technologies. In connection with the Zyfer sale, the Company accrued $1.0 million for certain future lease obligations of Zyfer that were not transferred to the buyer.

        In March 2003, the Company ceased the development and sale of products in its Broadcast, Inc. subsidiary and reduced the headcount in Broadcast to only support the existing customer contracts for service and support through their expiration dates. The aggregate losses recognized to write-down the assets of Broadcast to their fair value less cost to sell were approximately $3.4 million. In addition, the Company accrued $400,000 for costs related to employees terminated in March 2003 and other direct costs to wind down its Broadcast operations.

        In September 2003, the Company sold substantially all of the assets of its MAXxess Systems subsidiary. The consideration for the sale consisted of the assumption of $2.7 million of liabilities, resulting in a net gain of $2.3 million on the sale.

        The results of operations of Zyfer, Broadcast and MAXxess for all periods presented have been reclassified and presented as discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. Interest expense was not reclassified to discontinued operations because the discontinuances did not eliminate any of the Company's debt.

We undertake no obligation to revise or update publicly any forward-looking statement for any reason.

Overview

        Iteris Holdings, Inc. is the majority stockholder of Iteris, Inc., a leading provider of outdoor machine vision systems and sensors that optimize the flow of traffic and enhance driver safety. Using our proprietary software and ITS (Intelligent Transportation Systems) industry expertise, we provide video sensor systems and transportation management and traveler information systems for the ITS industry. The ITS industry is comprised of companies applying a variety of technologies to enable the safe and efficient movement of people and goods. We use our outdoor image recognition software expertise to develop proprietary algorithms for video sensor systems that improve vehicle safety and the flow of traffic. Using our knowledge of the ITS industry, we design and implement transportation management systems that help public agencies reduce traffic congestion and provide greater access to traveler information.

        Our proprietary image recognition sensor products include AutoVue™ and Vantage™. AutoVue is a small windshield mounted sensor that uses proprietary software to detect and warn drivers of unintended lane departures. Approximately 3,000 production AutoVue units have been sold for truck platforms in the European market and are currently offered as an option on certain Actros trucks, which are part of the Daimler group. We believe that AutoVue is a broad sensor platform that, through additional software development, may be expanded to incorporate additional safety and convenience features. Vantage is a video vehicle sensing system that detects the presence of vehicles at signalized intersections enabling a more efficient allocation of green signal time.

        Our transportation management systems include the design, development and implementation of our software-based systems that integrate sensors, video surveillance, computers and advanced communications equipment to enable public agencies to monitor, control and direct traffic flow, assist in the quick dispatch of emergency crews and distribute real-time information about traffic conditions. Our services include planning and other engineering for the implementation of transportation related communications systems, analysis and study related to goods movement and commercial vehicle operations, and parking systems designs.

        We have historically operated multiple business units. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 ("fiscal 2003"), we operated in three business segments consisting of ITS, video products and telecom products. The ITS segment consisted of our majority-owned subsidiary, Iteris, Inc. The video products segment consisted of our former wholly-owned subsidiaries, MAXxess Systems, Inc. (previously known as Gyyr Incorporated), which designed and manufactured security management systems, and Broadcast, Inc., which developed and supplied software based systems to automate and control the multiple classes of equipment used in broadcast studios and satellite uplink facilities. Our telecom segment consisted of our wholly-owned subsidiary, Zyfer, Inc., which developed and manufactured timing and synchronization products and which, prior to its incorporation, was operated as our Communications division. All references to our subsidiaries in this report include the prior businesses and results of operations of such subsidiaries as our business units prior to their incorporation.

        In March 2003, we decided to cease the development and sale of any new Broadcast products and in September 2003, we sold the balance of our Broadcast business.

        In May 2003, we sold substantially all of the assets of Zyfer for a purchase price of $2.3 million in cash, plus the assumption of liabilities, and future contingent incentive payments of up to $1.0 million in each of the next two twelve month periods. The amount of these future incentive payments will be based on the revenues generated by the sale of Zyfer's products or the license of its technologies. To date no payments have been received under the agreement.

        In October 2003, we sold substantially all of the assets of MAXxess Systems to Maij Corporation, which is owned by certain members of the former MAXxess management group. The consideration for these assets consisted of the assumption of $2.7 million of liabilities, resulting in a net gain of $2.3 million on this sale.

        We currently operate in two reportable segments: Systems and Sensors. The Sensors segment includes Vantage Vehicle Detection systems for traffic intersection control and AutoVue sensors for in vehicle safety. Systems includes transportation engineering and consulting activities.

        Our financial statements for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2002 and 2003 have been restated to reflect the discontinuation of the operations of Broadcast, Zyfer and MAXxess and, accordingly, continuing operations only reflect the operations of Iteris, Inc.

        We have historically experienced significant net losses including $4.4 million in fiscal 2003 and $5.2 million in fiscal 2002. While we have substantially reduced our operating losses in recent periods, we have experienced negative cash flows from operations in the amount of $2.4 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2003, $4.8 million in fiscal 2003 and $18.2 million in fiscal 2002, and had a stockholders' deficit of $1.6 million at December 31, 2003. Our operations may continue to use net cash at least through the end of fiscal 2004. These conditions, together with our recurring losses, cash requirements and stockholders' deficit, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Critical Accounting Policies And Estimates

        Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is based on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate these estimates and assumptions, including those related to the collectibility of accounts receivable, the valuation of inventories, the recoverability of long-lived assets, including goodwill, and reserves for restructuring and related

15



activities. We base these estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. These estimates and assumptions by their nature involve risks and uncertainties, and may prove to be inaccurate. In the event that any of our estimates or assumptions are inaccurate in any material respect, it could have a material adverse effect on our reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

        The following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

        Revenue Recognition.    We record product revenues and related cost of sales upon transfer of title, which is generally upon shipment or, if required, upon acceptance by the customer, provided that we believe collectibility of the net sales amount is probable. Accordingly, at the date revenue is recognized, the significant uncertainties concerning the sale have been resolved. Unless otherwise stated in our product literature, we provide a two year warranty on all product materials and workmanship, and establish reserves for potential warranty returns as products are shipped. Defective products are either repaired or replaced, at our option, upon meeting certain criteria.

        Contract revenues are derived primarily from long-term contracts with governmental agencies. Contract revenue include costs incurred plus a portion of estimated fees or profits determined on the percentage of completion method of accounting based on the relationship of costs incurred to total estimated costs. We record a charge to earnings for any anticipated losses on contracts in the period in which such losses are identified. Changes in job performance and estimated profitability, including those arising from contract penalty provisions and final contract settlements, may result in revisions to costs and revenues and are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined.

        We record revenues from follow-on service and support, for which we charge separately, in the period in which such services are performed.

        Accounts Receivable.    We estimate the collectibility of customer receivables on an ongoing basis by periodically reviewing invoices outstanding over a certain period of time. We have recorded reserves for receivables deemed to be at risk for collection as well as a general reserve based on our historical collections experience. A considerable amount of judgment is required in assessing the ultimate realization of these receivables, including the current credit-worthiness of each customer. If the financial condition of our customers deteriorates, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make required payments, additional allowances may be required which could adversely affect our operating results.

        Inventory.    We state our inventories at the lower of cost or market and provide reserves for potentially excess and obsolete inventory. In assessing the ultimate realization of inventories, we make judgments as to future demand requirements and compare that with the current or committed inventory levels. Reserves are established for inventory levels that exceed future demand. It is possible that reserves over and above those already established may be required in the future if market conditions for our products should deteriorate.

        Goodwill and Purchased Intangible Assets.    The purchase method of accounting for acquisitions requires extensive use of accounting estimates and judgments to allocate the purchase rice to the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired. Goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives are no longer amortized but are subject to annual impairment tests. The amounts and useful lives assigned to other intangible assets impact future amortization. If the assumptions and estimates used to allocate the purchase price are not correct or if business conditions change, future asset impairment charges could be required.

        Net Sales and Contract Revenues.    Net sales and contract revenues consist principally of (i) sales of products and services to commercial customers and municipal agencies ("net sales") and primarily consists of sales of our Vantage video detection systems and AutoVue lane departure warning systems and (ii) revenues derived from systems integration and ITS consulting services with state, county and municipal agencies ("contract revenues"). Total net sales and contract revenues increased 4.7% to $11.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2003, compared to $10.6 million in the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year, and increased 11.1% to $33.9 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2003, compared to $30.5 million in the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year.

        Net sales increased 22.9% to $5.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2003, compared to $4.8 million in the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year and increased 25.7% to $17.6 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2003, compared to $14.0 million in the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. Sales of Vantage video detection products increased 5.8% and 14.9% in the three and nine month periods ended December 31, 2003, respectively, compared to the corresponding period of the prior year. Net sales derived from AutoVue products and license revenue increased 197.8% and 142.0% in the three and nine month periods ended December 31, 2003 compared to the corresponding period of the prior year. The increase in Vantage net sales reflects increased unit sales in North America compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year. The increase in net sales of AutoVue products reflects license fee revenue and fees for non-recurring engineering costs derived from Valeo, our strategic partner for the passenger car OEM customer base, in addition to increased unit sales of AutoVue products to the European commercial truck market. The increase in AutoVue reflects increased unit sales to both new and existing customers in addition to technology license revenue derived from our agreement with Valeo.

17



        Contract revenues decreased 10.3% to $5.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2003, compared to $5.8 million in the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year and decreased 1.2% to $16.3 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2003, compared to $16.5 million in the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. Our contract revenues are represented by a broad range of fixed price and cost plus fixed fee contracts for engineering study, design, systems integration and implementation. The market for these services is highly dependent upon continued budget appropriations and contract grants at the Federal and State level. We are particularly dependent upon contract activity within the State of California, where a significant portion of our business has been derived for the nine months ended December 31, 2003. The decrease in contract revenues in the three and nine month periods reflects near term softness in the market which we believe is a result of California's budget turmoil.

        Gross Profit.    Gross profit as a percentage of net sales and contract revenues decreased to 39.6% for the three months ended December 31, 2003, compared to 40.3% in the corresponding period in the prior fiscal year. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales and contract revenues decreased to 39.5% for the nine months ended December 31, 2003, compared to 40.9% in the corresponding period in the prior fiscal year.

        Gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased to 47.3% for the three months ended December 31, 2003, compared to 52.7% in the corresponding period in the prior fiscal year. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased to 46.1% for the nine months ended December 31, 2003, compared to 51.5% in the corresponding period in the prior fiscal year. The decrease in the three month period primarily reflects the impact to gross profit of competitive pricing on large state contracts for Vantage products, which was partially offset by increased gross profit on AutoVue products. Gross profit on AutoVue products increased in the three months ended December 31, 2003 compared to the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year as a result of the impact of license fee revenue derived from Valeo in 2003. Gross profits for the nine months ended December 31, 2003 were negatively affected by the continued impact of pricing pressures on large state contracts for Vantage products, in addition to lower gross profits on AutoVue products as a result of increased unit sales of product to the commercial truck market. During the nine months ended December 31, 2002 revenues from AutoVue consisted principally of sales of sample product and non-recurring engineering fees at relatively high gross profit, in addition to initial unit sales to the commercial truck market. During the nine months ended December 31, 2003, as AutoVue began increasing its unit sales to the commercial truck market, in addition to new license revenue derived from its relationship with Valeo, Iteris Inc. attained a 142.0% increase in AutoVue revenues compared to the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. Gross profit derived from sales of units to the truck market was lower than gross profit derived from engineering activities historically conducted during fiscal 2003.

        Gross profit as a percentage of contract revenues marginally increased to 30.7% for the three months ended December 31, 2003, compared to 30.1% in the corresponding period in the prior fiscal year. Gross profit as a percentage of contract revenues was 32.4% for the nine months ended December 31, 2003 compared to 32.0% in the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. Contract revenues historically have been derived from a large number of individual contracts. The underlying mix of contracts and the related timing of revenue and cost recognition will impact quarterly gross profit performance on contract revenues in a given quarter. We recognize contract revenues and the related gross profit using percentage of completion contract accounting.

        Selling, General and Administrative Expense.    Selling, general and administrative expense decreased 9.0% to $3.0 million (or 26.9% of total net sales and contract revenues) in the three months ended December 31, 2003, compared to $3.3 million (or 31.1% of total net sales and contract revenues) in the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. Selling, general and administrative expense increased 4.3% to $9.8 million (or 28.7% of total net sales and contract revenues) in the nine months ended December 31, 2003, compared to $9.4 million (or 30.6% of total net sales and contract revenues) in the

18



corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. In the three and nine month periods ended December 31, 2003 we engaged in substantial cost reduction efforts which included the restructuring of our facilities leases and included substantial reductions in expenses related to executive services, accounting and information technology, compared to the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. The decrease in the three month periods principally reflects the results of these efforts. The increase in the nine month periods primarily reflects increased spending to support sales and marketing infrastructure and programs in both Vantage and AutoVue products, which was only partially offset by the aforementioned reduction in administrative expenses. These programs include the international expansion of Vantage products, and product marketing and public relations support of AutoVue products.

        Research and Development Expense.    Research and development expense increased 11.7% to $1.0 million (or 9.3% of total net sales and contract revenues) in the three months ended December 31, 2003, compared to $928,000 (or 8.8% of total net sales and contract revenues) in the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. Research and development expense increased 10.4% to $3.0 million (or 9.0% of total net sales and contract revenues) in the nine months ended December 31, 2003 compared to $2.8 million (or 9.0% of total net sales and contract revenues) in the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. The increase in the three and nine month periods reflects increased spending to support Vantage products which was partially offset by decreased spending to support AutoVue products. Vantage product development primarily reflects activities for product line extensions to support new communications platforms and to accommodate new camera designs. These increases were primarily in the areas of personnel costs and related benefits and overhead, prototype material cost and consulting fees. For competitive reasons, we closely guard the confidentiality of our specific development projects.

        Other Income.    Other income during the nine months ended December 31, 2003 primarily reflects the gain recognized on the renegotiation of our facilities leases, which was completed during the three months ended September 30, 2003. Other income during the nine months ended December 31, 2002 reflects the gain recognized on the sale of our Anaheim facilities in fiscal 2002.

        Interest Expense.    Interest expense decreased 74.5% to $25,000 in the three months ended December 31, 2003, compared to $98,000 in the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. The decrease was primarily as a result of lower interest rates and lower average outstanding borrowings. Interest expense decreased 86.7% to $92,000 in the nine months ended December 31, 2003, compared to $694,000 in the corresponding period of the prior year because we repaid $16.4 million in outstanding indebtedness upon the sale and leaseback of our Anaheim, facilities.

        Income Taxes.    Iteris Holdings owns less than 80% of its operating subsidiary, Iteris, Inc. and accordingly does not file a consolidated federal tax return. Income tax expense of $293,000 and $744,000 in the three and nine months ended December 31, 2003, respectively, reflects the estimated tax provisions of Iteris, Inc. based upon its actual taxable income in the current fiscal year. On a consolidated basis, we have not provided any income tax benefit for the losses incurred in the three and nine months ended December 31, 2003 due to the uncertainty as to the ultimate realization of the related benefit.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

        During the nine months ended December 31, 2003, we incurred a net loss of $110,000, and used $2.4 million of net cash to fund our operations. Our net loss included non-cash charges related to depreciation and amortization of $643,000 and charges for minority interest in earnings of our Iteris subsidiary of $2.5 million, and was impacted by non-cash gains of $1.6 million related to the amortization of deferred gain on the sale of our facilities, which was completed in September 2002. During the nine months ended December 31, 2003 we issued common stock to raise approximately $2.2 million. These proceeds, in addition to cash generated from other asset sales discussed below, were

19



used to fund a $3.1 million reduction of accounts payable and accrued expenses, which is reflected in net cash used in operating activities. We also used net cash from operations to fund an increase in accounts receivable of $489,000, an increase in inventories of $176,000, and an increase in prepaid expenses and other assets of $297,000. At December 31, 2003, we had cash of $329,000.

        In May 2003, we completed the sale of substantially all of the assets of our wholly-owned subsidiary, Zyfer Inc. for $2.3 million in cash plus the assumption of certain liabilities. The cash proceeds from the sale were used to fund working capital requirements and pay short-term liabilities. The asset purchase agreement provides for future incentive payments to us of up to $1.0 million in each of the next two-twelve-month periods, based on revenues generated from the sale of Zyfer's products or the license of its technologies. To date no payments have been received under the Agreement

        In July 2003, we concluded a restructuring of our facility lease obligations for our principal operating facilities located in Anaheim, California. Under the revised terms, Iteris Holdings and its Iteris subsidiary entered into two separate leases for space totaling 80,000 square feet located at our current Anaheim based location. We have been relieved of a continuing lease obligation on approximately 257,000 square feet. In consideration for the restructured agreement, we paid approximately $2.5 million in cash that had been previously pledged as collateral on the lease, in addition to issuing to the lessor 425,000 shares of Iteris Holdings Class A common stock and a note payable for $811,000.

        In July 2003, we completed a private placement of 3,666,666 of our Class A common stock to accredited investors for $2.2 million in cash. In connection with this offering, we also issued three-year warrants to the investor to purchase up to another 366,666 shares at an exercise price of $1.50 per share. The warrants are exercisable at any time by the investors. The proceeds from the transaction were used to fund general working capital requirements.

        In September 2003, we completed the sale of substantially all of the assets of our wholly-owned subsidiary, MAXxess Systems. The consideration for the sale consisted of the assumption of $2.7 million of liabilities, resulting in a net gain of $2.3 million on this sale. We did not receive any cash in the transaction.

20


        The Company has lease commitments for facilities in various locations throughout the United States. The annual commitment under these noncancelable operating leases, including the leaseback of the Anaheim facilities, at December 31, 2003 is as follows:

        Our contractual obligations are as follows at December 31, 2003:

        Although we have achieved operating income and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2003, our operations may continue to use net cash. Our Iteris subsidiary has a revolving line of credit with its principal bank, which expires August 2004 and which provides for available borrowings up to $5.0 million subject to a borrowing formula based upon qualified accounts receivable as defined in the agreement. Borrowings on the line of credit bear interest at prime plus 2.0% (4.0% at December 31, 2003). Borrowings at December 31, 2003 were $611,000 on this line, and $3.8 million was available for borrowing subject to the borrowing base in the credit agreement. Our future cash requirements will be highly dependent upon our ability to control expenses, as well as the successful execution of our revenue plans. As a result, any projections of future cash requirements and cash flows are subject to substantial uncertainty.

        In January 2004, we entered into a non-binding letter of intent to purchase the outstanding shares of preferred stock in our Iteris, Inc. subsidiary. In connection with this proposed transaction, we may engage in an equity or debt financing to fund this acquisition. We cannot assure you that such acquisition will occur on acceptable terms, in a timely manner, or at all.

21



RISK FACTORS

        Our business is subject to a number of risks, some of which are discussed below. You should consider the following risks carefully in addition to the risks and information contained elsewhere in this report before purchasing shares of our common stock. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also affect our business operations. If any of these risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be seriously harmed. In that event, the market price for our common stock could decline and you may lose all or part of your investment.

        We Have Experienced Substantial Losses And May Continue To Experience Losses For The Foreseeable Future.    We experienced net losses of $110,000 in the nine months ended December 31, 2003, $13.1 million in the year ended March 31, 2003 and $26.6 million in the year ended March 31, 2002. While we have divested all of our business units other than our Iteris, Inc. subsidiary, we cannot assure you that our efforts to downsize our operations or reduce our operating expenses will improve our financial performance, or that we will be able to achieve profitability on a quarterly or annual basis in the future. Most of our expenses are fixed in advance. As such, we generally are unable to reduce our expenses significantly in the short-term to compensate for any unexpected delay or decrease in anticipated revenues. As a result, we may continue to experience operating losses and net losses, which would make it difficult to fund our operations and achieve our business plan, and could cause the market price of our common stock to decline.

        We May Need To Raise Additional Capital In The Future, But We May Not Be Able To Secure Adequate Funds On Terms Acceptable To Us, Or At All.    We have generated significant net losses and operating losses in recent periods, and have experienced negative cash flows from operations of $2.4 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2003, $4.8 million in the year ended March 31, 2003, $18.2 million in the year ended March 31, 2002 and $20.1 million in the year ended March 31, 2001. Although we completed a private placement in July 2003, the sale of our Anaheim, California property in 2002 and the divestiture of our Zyfer, Broadcast and MAXxess subsidiaries in 2003, the majority of the proceeds from such sales were used to pay our outstanding debts and accounts payables. As of December 31, 2003, our cash balance was approximately $0.3 million. We may need to raise additional capital in the future to fund our operations or to purchase the minority interests in Iteris, Inc. Our Iteris, Inc. subsidiary currently maintains a line of credit with a maximum availability of $5.0 million, which expires in August 2004. Substantially all of the assets of Iteris, Inc. have been pledged to the lender to secure the outstanding indebtedness under this facility ($611,000 was outstanding under the line of credit at December 31, 2003).

        We may raise additional capital in the near future, either through bank borrowings, or other debt or equity financings. We cannot assure you that any additional capital will be available on a timely basis, on acceptable terms, or at all. These conditions, together with our recurring losses and cash requirements, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

        Our capital requirements will depend on many factors, including, but not limited to:

22


        If our capital requirements are materially different from those currently planned, we may need additional capital sooner than anticipated. If additional funds are raised through the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities, the percentage ownership of our stockholders will be reduced and such securities may have rights, preferences and privileges senior to our common stock. Additional financing may not be available on favorable terms or at all. If adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, we may be unable to continue our operations as planned, develop or enhance our products, expand our sales and marketing programs, take advantage of future opportunities or respond to competitive pressures.

        We Have Adopted A New Operating Strategy, Which Is Untried And Exposes Us To New Risks.    We recently divested ourselves of many of our business units and significantly scaled back our operations in order to focus on the business of our Iteris, Inc. subsidiary. We have abandoned our strategy of incubating emerging companies, which historically required us to make significant investments in new business units. Our current business strategy is narrow and untried, and there is no assurance that our new business strategy or the continued execution of the Iteris, Inc. business will be successful.

        The Trading Price Of Our Common Stock Is Highly Volatile And Our Shares Are No Longer Listed On The Nasdaq SmallCap Market. As Such, You May Not Be Able To Resell Your Shares Of Stock At Or Above The Price You Paid For Them Or At All.    The trading price of our common stock has been subject to wide fluctuations in the past. Since January 2000, our Class A common stock has traded at prices as low as $0.45 per share and as high as $29.44 per share and our Class B common stock has traded at prices as low as $0.20 per share and as high as $29.62 per share. In 2003, because we failed to meet the minimum stockholder's equity and minimum share price requirements for continued listing on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market, both our Class A common stock and Class B common stock were delisted from the Nasdaq SmallCap Market and currently trade on the OTC Bulletin Board. As such, the average daily trading volume of common stock has decreased, and it may be more difficult for you to sell your shares in the future at or above the price you paid for them, or at all. This delisting may also make it more difficult for us to raise additional funds in the future. In addition, our securities are subject to "penny stock" restrictions, including Rule 15g-9 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers, such as requirements pertaining to the suitability of the investment for the purchaser and the delivery of specific disclosure materials and monthly statements. Consequently, the liquidity of our securities could be impaired, not only in the number of securities that can be bought and sold, but also through delays in the timing of the transactions, reduction in security analysts' and the news media's coverage of us, adverse effects on the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities, and lower prices for our securities than might otherwise be obtained.

        The market price of our common stock could continue to fluctuate in the future in response to various factors, including, but not limited to:

23


        The stock market in general has recently experienced volatility, which has particularly affected the market prices of equity securities of many technology companies. This volatility has often been unrelated to the operating performance of these companies. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of our common stock. In the past, companies that have experienced volatility in the market price of their securities have been the subject of securities class action litigation. If we were to become the subject of a class action lawsuit, it could result in substantial losses and divert management's attention and resources from other matters.

        We Depend On Government Contracts And Subcontracts, And Because Many Of Our Government Contracts Are Fixed Price Contracts, Higher Than Anticipated Costs Will Reduce Our Profit And Could Adversely Impact Our Operating Results.    A significant portion of the sales by Iteris, Inc. were derived from contracts with governmental agencies, either as a general contractor, subcontractor or supplier. Government contracts represented approximately 26%, 38% and 47% of our total net sales and contract revenues for the years ended March 31, 2001, 2002 and 2003, respectively. We anticipate that revenue from government contracts will continue to increase in the near future. Government business is, in general, subject to special risks and challenges, including:

        In addition, a large number of our government contracts are fixed price contracts. As a result, we may not be able to recover for any cost overruns. These fixed price contracts require us to estimate the total project cost based on preliminary projections of the project's requirements. The financial viability of any given project depends in large part on our ability to estimate these costs accurately and complete the project on a timely basis. In the event our costs on these projects exceed the fixed contractual amount, we will be required to bear the excess costs. These additional costs adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. Moreover, certain of our government contracts are subject to termination or renegotiation at the convenience of the government, which could result in a large decline in our net sales in any given quarter. Our inability to address any of the foregoing concerns or the loss or renegotiation of any material government contract could seriously harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

24



        Economic Slowdown And Related Uncertainties Could Adversely Impact The Demand For Our Products.    Concerns about inflation, decreased consumer confidence, reduced corporate profits and capital spending, and recent international conflicts and terrorist and military actions have resulted in a downturn in worldwide economic conditions, particularly in the United States. As a result of these unfavorable economic conditions, we have experienced a slowdown in customer orders, cancellations and rescheduling of backlog and higher overhead costs. In addition, recent political and social turmoil related to international conflicts and terrorist acts can be expected to put further pressure on economic conditions in the U.S. and worldwide. These political, social and economic conditions make it extremely difficult for our customers, our suppliers and us to accurately forecast and plan future business activities. If such conditions continue or worsen, our business, financial condition and results of operations will likely be materially and adversely affected.

        Our Quarterly Operating Results Fluctuate As A Result Of Many Factors. Therefore, We May Fail To Meet Or Exceed The Expectations Of Securities Analysts And Investors, Which Could Cause Our Stock Price To Decline.    Our quarterly revenues and operating results have fluctuated and are likely to continue to vary from quarter to quarter due to a number of factors, many of which are not within our control. Factors that could affect our revenues include, among others, the following:

        In addition, our sales in any quarter may consist of a relatively small number of large customer orders. As a result, the timing of a small number of orders may impact our quarter-to-quarter results. The loss of or a substantial reduction in orders from any significant customer could seriously harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

25


        Due to all of the factors listed above and, our future operating results could be below the expectations of securities analysts or investors. If that happens, the trading price of our common stock could decline. As a result of these quarterly variations, you should not rely on quarter-to-quarter comparisons of our operating results as an indication of our future performance.

        If We Do Not Keep Pace With Rapid Technological Changes And Evolving Industry Standards, We Will Not Be Able To Remain Competitive And There Will Be No Demand For Our Products.    Our markets are in general characterized by the following factors:

        Our future success will depend upon our ability to anticipate and adapt to changes in technology and industry standards, and to effectively develop, introduce, market and gain broad acceptance of new products and product enhancements incorporating the latest technological advancements.

        We believe that we must continue to make substantial investments to support ongoing research and development in order to remain competitive. We need to continue to develop and introduce new products that incorporate the latest technological advancements in outdoor image processing hardware, software and camera technologies in response to evolving customer requirements. Our business and results of operations could be adversely affected if we do not anticipate or respond adequately to technological developments or changing customer requirements. We cannot assure you that any such investments in research and development will lead to any corresponding increase in revenue.

        If We Are Unable To Develop And Introduce New Products And Product Enhancements Successfully And In A Cost-Effective And Timely Manner, Or To Achieve Market Acceptance Of Our New Products, Our Operating Results Would Be Adversely Affected.    We believe our revenue growth and future operating results will depend on our ability to complete development of new products and enhancements, introduce these products in a timely, cost-effective manner, achieve broad market acceptance of these products and enhancements, and reduce our product costs. We may not be able to introduce any new products or any enhancements to our existing products on a timely basis, or at all. In addition, the introduction of any new products could adversely affect the sales of certain of our existing products. Our future success will also depend in part on the success of several products including AutoVue™, our lane departure warning system. We currently outsource the manufacture of our AutoVue™ product line to a single manufacturer. This manufacturer may not be able to produce sufficient quantities of this product in a timely manner or at a reasonable cost, which could materially and adversely affect our ability to launch or gain market acceptance of AutoVue™.

        Market acceptance of our new products depends upon many factors, including our ability to accurately predict market requirements and evolving industry standards, our ability to resolve technical challenges in a timely and cost-effective manner and achieve manufacturing efficiencies, the perceived advantages of our new products over traditional products and the marketing capabilities of our independent distributors and strategic partners. Our business and results of operations could be seriously harmed by any significant delays in our new product development. Certain of our new products could contain undetected design faults and software errors or "bugs" when first released by us, despite our testing. We may not discover these faults or errors until after a product has been installed and used by our customers. Any faults or errors in our existing products or in any new products may cause delays in product introduction and shipments, require design modifications or harm customer relationships, any of which could adversely affect our business and competitive position.

26



        The Markets In Which We Operate Are Highly Competitive And Have Many More Established Competitors, Which Could Adversely Affect Our Sales Or The Market Acceptance Of Our Products.    We compete with numerous other companies in our target markets including, but not limited to, large, multinational corporations and many smaller regional engineering firms. We expect such competition to increase due to technological advancements, industry consolidations and reduced barriers to entry. Increased competition is likely to result in price reductions, reduced gross margins and loss of market share, any of which could seriously harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. Many of our competitors have far greater name recognition and greater financial, technological, marketing and customer service resources than we do. This may allow them to respond more quickly to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements. It may also allow them to devote greater resources to the development, promotion, sale and support of their products than we can. Recent consolidations of end users, distributors and manufacturers in our target markets have exacerbated this problem. As a result of the foregoing factors, we may not be able to compete effectively in our target markets and competitive pressures could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

        We May Be Unable To Attract And Retain Key Personnel, Which Could Seriously Harm Our Business.    Due to the specialized nature of our business, we are highly dependent on the continued service of our executive officers and other key management, engineering and technical personnel, particularly Joel Slutzky, our Chairman of the Board, who retired in February 2002 as our Chief Executive Officer, and Gregory A. Miner, our current Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, and Jack Johnson, the Chief Executive Officer of Iteris, Inc. The loss of any of these individuals could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. Our success will also depend in large part upon our ability to continue to attract, retain and motivate qualified engineering and other highly skilled technical personnel. Competition for employees, particularly development engineers, is intense. We may not be able to continue to attract and retain sufficient numbers of such highly skilled employees. Our inability to attract and retain additional key employees or the loss of one or more of our current key employees could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

        We May Not be Able To Adequately Protect Or Enforce Our Intellectual Property Rights, Which Could Harm Our Competitive Position.    If we are not able to adequately protect or enforce the proprietary aspects of our technology, competitors could be able to access our proprietary technology and our business, financial condition and results of operations will likely be seriously harmed. We currently attempt to protect our technology through a combination of patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret laws, employee and third party nondisclosure agreements and similar means. Despite our efforts, other parties may attempt to disclose, obtain or use our technologies or systems. Our competitors may also be able to independently develop products that are substantially equivalent or superior to our products or design around our patents. In addition, the laws of some foreign countries do not protect our proprietary rights as fully as do the laws of the United States. As a result, we may not be able to protect our proprietary rights adequately in the United States or abroad.

        From time to time, we have received notices that claim we have infringed upon the intellectual property of others. Even if these claims are not valid, they could subject us to significant costs. We have engaged in litigation in the past, and litigation may be necessary in the future to enforce our intellectual property rights or to determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others. Litigation may also be necessary to defend against claims of infringement or invalidity by others. An adverse outcome in litigation or any similar proceedings could subject us to significant liabilities to third parties, require us to license disputed rights from others or require us to cease marketing or using certain products or technologies. We may not be able to obtain any licenses on terms acceptable to us, or at all. We also may have to indemnify certain customers or strategic partners if it is determined that we have infringed upon or misappropriated another party's intellectual property. Any of these results could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the cost

27



of addressing any intellectual property litigation claim, both in legal fees and expenses, and the diversion of management's resources, regardless of whether the claim is valid, could be significant and could seriously harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

        We May Engage In Acquisitions Of Companies Or Technologies That May Require Us To Undertake Significant Capital Infusions And Could Result In Disruptions Of Our Business And Diversion Of Resources And Management Attention.    We have historically, and may in the future, acquire complementary businesses, products and technologies. Acquisitions may require significant capital infusions and, in general, acquisitions also involve a number of special risks, including:

        Our competitors are also soliciting potential acquisition candidates, which could both increase the price of any acquisition targets and decrease the number of attractive companies available for acquisition. Acquisitions may also materially and adversely affect our operating results due to large write-offs, contingent liabilities, substantial depreciation, deferred compensation charges or intangible asset amortization, or other adverse tax or audit consequences. We cannot assure you that we will be able to identify or consummate any additional acquisitions, successfully integrate any acquisitions or realize the benefits anticipated from any acquisition.

        Our International Business Operations May Be Threatened By Many Factors That Are Outside Of Our Control.    Despite the reorganization of our European operations and the resulting reduction in international sales, we continue to engage in international operations. International business operations are also subject to other inherent risks, including, among others:

28


        We believe that continued growth and profitability could require expansion of our international operations. Nearly all of our international sales from this point on are denominated in U.S. dollars. As a result, an increase in the relative value of the dollar could make our products more expensive and potentially less price competitive in international markets. We do not engage in any transactions as a hedge against risks of loss due to foreign currency fluctuations.

        Any of the factors mentioned above may adversely affect our future international sales and, consequently, affect our business, financial condition and operating results. Furthermore, as we increase our international sales, our total revenues may also be affected to a greater extent by seasonal fluctuations resulting from lower sales that typically occur during the summer months in Europe and other parts of the world.

        Some Of Our Directors, Officers And Their Affiliates Can Control The Outcome Of Matters That Require The Approval Of Our Stockholders, And Accordingly We Will Not be Able To Engage In Certain Transactions Without Their Approval.    As of December 31, 2003, our officers and directors beneficially owned approximately 21% of the total combined voting power of the outstanding shares of our Class A common stock and Class B common stock. As a result of their stock ownership, our management will be able to significantly influence the election of our directors and the outcome of corporate actions requiring stockholder approval, such as mergers and acquisitions, regardless of how our other stockholders may vote. This concentration of voting control may have a significant effect in delaying, deferring or preventing a change in our management or change in control and may adversely affect the voting or other rights of other holders of common stock.

        Our Stock Structure And Certain Anti-Takeover Provisions May Affect The Price Of Our Common Stock And Discourage A Third Party From Acquiring Us.    Certain provisions of our certificate of incorporation and our stockholder rights plan could make it difficult for a third party to acquire us, even though an acquisition might be beneficial to our stockholders. These provisions could limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock. Our Class A common stock entitles the holder to one-tenth of one vote per share and our Class B common stock entitles the holder to one vote per share. The disparity in the voting rights between our common stock, as well as our insiders' significant ownership of the Class B common stock, could discourage a proxy contest or make it more difficult for a third party to effect a change in our management and control. In addition, our Board of Directors is authorized to issue, without stockholder approval, up to 2,000,000 shares of preferred stock with voting, conversion and other rights and preferences superior to those of our common stock, as well as additional shares of Class B common stock. Our future issuance of preferred stock or Class B common stock could be used to discourage an unsolicited acquisition proposal.

        In March 1998, we adopted a stockholder rights plan and declared a dividend of preferred stock purchase rights to our stockholders. In the event a third party acquires more than 15% of the outstanding voting control of our company or 15% of our outstanding common stock, the holders of these rights will be able to purchase the junior participating preferred stock at a substantial discount off of the then current market price. The exercise of these rights and purchase of a significant amount of stock at below market prices could cause substantial dilution to a particular acquirer and discourage the acquirer from pursuing our company. The mere existence of a stockholder rights plan often delays or makes a merger, tender offer or proxy contest more difficult.


ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISKS

        Our exposure to interest rate risk is limited to our lines of credit. Iteris' and Iteris Holdings' lines of credit bear interest at the prevailing prime rate, plus 2% and 4%, respectively (6% and 10% as of December 31, 2003). A 10% increase in interest rate would not have a material impact on our financial

29



position, operating results, or cash flows. In addition, we believe that the carrying value of our outstanding debt approximates fair value.


ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

        Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of Iteris Holdings' disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act")) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer has concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in timely alerting them to the material information required to be included in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

        During the most recent fiscal quarter covered by this report, there has been no change to internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
