Statements included elsewhere herein.

     The Company's corporate  headquarters offices are located at PAR Technology
Park, 8383 Seneca Turnpike, New Hartford, New York 13413-4991,  telephone number
(315)  738-0600.  Unless  the  context  otherwise  requires,  the term  "PAR" or
"Company" as used herein, means PAR Technology  Corporation and its wholly-owned
Subsidiaries.




                               Restaurant Segment

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

Products

     The technology  requirements of the major restaurant  organizations include
rugged,  reliable  management  systems  capable of receiving,  transmitting  and
coordinating  large  numbers  of  foodservice  orders  for quick  delivery.  The
Company's  integrated  management  systems  permit its Quick Service  Restaurant
(QSR) customers to configure their restaurant  technology  systems to meet their
order-entry,  menu,  food  preparation  and  delivery  coordination  needs while
recording all pertinent  data  concerning  the  transactions  at the  respective
restaurant.  PAR's  restaurant  systems  are the  result  of over  20  years  of
experience,  knowledge and an in-depth  understanding of the restaurant  market.
This knowledge and expertise is reflected in the product design,  implementation
capability and systems integration skills.

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


     Hardware.  The  Company's  hardware  platform  system,  POS4XP(TM),  is  an
industry leading state-of-the-art, 64-bit, Pentium(R)-designed system, developed
to host the most powerful applications of the restaurant industry.  POS4XP(TM)'s
design  utilizes  open  architecture  with  industry  standard  components,   is
compatible  with  the most  popular  operating  systems,  and is the  first  POS
hardware system to be certified by  Microsoft(R) as Windows(R) NT  Compliant(R).
POS4XP(TM)  supports a distributed  processing  environment and  incorporates an
advanced restaurant technology system, utilizing Intel microprocessors, standard
PC expansion slots,  Ethernet LAN, standard  Centronics printer ports as well as
USB ports.  The hardware system supplies its  industry-standard  components with
features for  restaurant  applications  such as multiple  video  ports.  The POS
system utilizes distributed  processing  architecture to integrate a broad range
of PAR and  third-party  peripherals  and is  designed  to  withstand  the harsh
restaurant    environment.    The    hardware    platform    has   a   favorable
price-to-performance  ratio  over the life of the  system  as a result of its PC
compatibility, ease of expansion and high reliability design.

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

     Display  terminals  receive and track  customer  orders,  monitor  employee
timekeeping records, and will provide on-screen production and labor scheduling.
PAR's  hardware  terminals  are designed with a touch screen rather than a fixed
position keyboard,  allowing greater  flexibility in menu design as well as ease
of use and shorter  training time. The POS touch screen  configuration  allows a
restaurant manager to easily reconfigure or change the menus to offer additional
food  items or provide  combination  meals  without  reprogramming  the  system.
Wireless  hand-held  terminals permit restaurant  employees to take orders while
customers  are waiting or in  drive-thru  lines,  thus  increasing  the speed of
service,  as the  customer's  food order is  complete  by the time the  customer
reaches the  check-out  counter and submits  payment.  This system also utilizes
video  monitors,  printers and various other devices that can be added to a LAN.
The  restaurant  manager can use a standard  PC to collect  and form  reports on
store-generated data.


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

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

Installation and Training

     In the U.S., Canada, Europe, South Africa, Middle East, Australia and Asia,
PAR personnel provide  installation,  training,  and integration  services, on a
fixed-fee  basis,  as a normal  part of the  equipment  purchase  agreement.  In
certain areas of North and South America,  Europe and Asia, the Company provides
these integration services through third parties.

Maintenance and Service

     The Company offers a range of maintenance  and support  services as part of
its total solution for its targeted  restaurant  markets.  In the North American
restaurant technology market, the Company provides comprehensive maintenance and
integration  services for its own  equipment  and  systems,  as well as those of
third  parties,  through  a  24-hour  central  telephone  customer  support  and
diagnostic  service in Boulder,  Colorado and a field service network consisting


of nearly 100 locations  offering  factory,  on-site,  and depot maintenance and
spare unit  rentals.  When a  restaurant  technology  system is  installed,  PAR
employees train the restaurant employees and managers to ensure efficient use of
the system. If a problem occurs, PAR's current software products allow a service
technician to diagnose the problem by telephone,  greatly  reducing the need for
on-site service calls.

     The  Company's  service  organization  utilizes  Clarify  as  its  Customer
Resource Management tool. Clarify allows PAR to demonstrate compelling value and
differentiation  to their customers using customer  service based on a wealth of
information  about the  individuals  that do business  with them.  Clarify  also
enables PAR to compile the kind of in-depth information they need to spot trends
and identify opportunities.

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

Marketing

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

Competition

     The competitive  landscape in the restaurant  market is driven primarily by
functionality,  reliability,  quality,  performance,  pricing,  and  service and
support. The Company believes that its principal competitive  advantages include
its  focus  on  a  total  restaurant  management  solution  offering,   advanced
development capabilities, industry knowledge and expertise, product reliability,
a direct sales force and the quality of its support and quick service  response.


The markets in which the Company transacts business are highly competitive. Most
of our major  customers have approved  several  suppliers who offer some form of
sophisticated  restaurant  technology  system  similar to the  Company's.  Major
competitors  include  Panasonic,  International  Business Machines  Corporation,
Radiant Systems, Inc., NCR, Micros Systems Inc. and Aspeon, Inc.

Backlog

     At December  31, 2001,  the  Company's  backlog of unfilled  orders for the
Restaurant segment was approximately  $9,000,000  compared to $10,200,000 a year
ago.  Most of the  present  orders will be  delivered  in 2002.  The  Restaurant
segment  orders are generally of a short-term  nature and are usually booked and
shipped in the same fiscal year.

Research and Development

     The highly technical nature of the Company's restaurant products requires a
significant  and  continuous  research  and  development  effort.  Research  and
development expenses on internally funded projects were approximately $5,495,000
in 2001,  $7,613,000  in 2000 and  $6,336,000 in 1999.  The Company  capitalizes
certain  software  costs in accordance  with  Statement of Financial  Accounting
Standards  No. 86,  Accounting  for the Costs of  Computer  Software to be Sold,
Leased  or  Otherwise  Marketed.  See  Note  1  to  the  Consolidated  Financial
Statements included in Item 14 for further discussion

Manufacturing and Suppliers

     The Company  assembles  its  products  from  standard  components,  such as
integrated circuits,  and fabricated parts such as printed circuit boards, metal
parts and castings,  most of which are  manufactured  by others to the Company's
specifications.  The  Company  depends on outside  suppliers  for the  continued
availability  of its  components  and parts.  Although  most items are generally
available from a number of different  suppliers,  the Company  purchases certain
components  from only one  supplier.  Items  purchased  from  only one  supplier
include certain  printers,  base castings and electronic  components.  If such a
supplier  should cease to supply an item, the Company  believes that new sources
could be found to provide the components.  However, added cost and manufacturing
delays  could  result and  adversely  affect the  business of the  Company.  The
Company has not experienced  significant  delays of this nature in the past, but
there can be no assurance  that delays in delivery due to supply  shortages will
not occur in the future.



                               Government Segment


     PAR operates  two  wholly-owned  subsidiaries  in the  government  business
segment, PAR Government Systems Corporation (PGSC) and Rome Research Corporation

sustain mission critical DoD communications  facilities.  These services include
continuous operations, system enhancements and maintenance of very low frequency
(VLF),   high   frequency   (HF)   and   very   high   frequency   (VHF)   radio
transmitter/receiver  facilities,  and extremely high frequency  (EHF) and super
high frequency (SHF) satellite  communication  heavy earth terminal  facilities.
The  Company  supports  these DoD  communications  facilities,  as well as other
telecommunications  equipment and information  systems, at customer locations in
and outside of the continental United States.

Test Laboratory and Range Operations

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


Government Contracts

     The  Company  performs  work  for  U.S.   Government  agencies  under  firm
fixed-price,  cost-plus fixed fee,  time-and-material,  and incentive-type prime
contracts and subcontracts.  Most of its contracts are for one-year to five-year
terms. The Company also has been awarded Task Order/Support contracts. There are
several risks associated with Government contracts.  For example,  contracts may
be terminated  for the  convenience  of the  Government  any time the Government
believes  that  such  termination  would  be in  its  best  interests.  In  this
circumstance,  the  Company is entitled to receive  payments  for its  allowable
costs and, in general,  a proportionate  share of its fee or profit for the work
actually  performed.  The Company's  business  with the U.S.  Government is also
subject  to other  risks  unique to the  defense  industry,  such as  reduction,
modification,  or  delays  of  contracts  or  subcontracts  if the  Government's
requirements,  budgets,  or policies or regulations change. The Company may also
perform  work prior to formal  authorization  or to  adjustment  of the contract
price for increased  work scope,  change  orders and other funding  adjustments.
Additionally,  the Defense  Contract  Audit Agency on a regular basis audits the
books and  records of the  Company.  Such  audits can result in  adjustments  to
contract costs and fees. Audits have been completed through the Company's fiscal
year 1999 and have not resulted in any material adjustments.


Marketing and Competition

     Marketing  begins  with  collecting  information  from a variety of sources
concerning  the  present and future  requirements  of the  Government  and other
potential  customers  for the  types  of  technical  expertise  provided  by the
Company. Although the Company believes it is positioned well in its chosen areas
of  image  and  signal  processing,  communications  and  engineering  services,
competition  for  Government  contracts  is  intense.   Many  of  the  Company's
competitors  are, or subsidiaries  thereof,  companies such as  Lockheed-Martin,
Raytheon,  Northrop-Grumman (which includes  Litton-PRC-TASC),  Harris, and SAIC
that are larger and have substantially greater financial resources.  The Company
also competes with many smaller companies that target particular segments of the
Government  market.  Contracts  are  obtained  principally  through  competitive
proposals  in response to requests for bids from  Government  agencies and prime
contractors. The principal competitive factors are past performance, the ability
to perform,  price,  technological  capabilities,  management  capabilities  and
service.  In addition,  the Company  sometimes  obtains  contracts by submitting
unsolicited proposals.  Many of PAR Government's DoD customers are now migrating
to commercial software standards,  applications,  and solutions.  In that light,
PAR  Government is utilizing its Internal  Research and  Development  to migrate
existing  solutions  into  software  product  lines  that will  support  the DoD
geospatial community (i.e., NIMA, US Air Force, etc.).


Backlog

     The dollar value of existing Government contracts at December 31, 2001, net
of  amounts  relating  to  work  performed  to  that  date,  was   approximately
$50,695,000,  of which  $19,174,000  was  funded.  At  December  31,  2000,  the
comparable  amount  was  approximately  $45,500,000,  of which  $15,900,000  was
funded.  Funded  represents  amounts  committed  under  contract  by  Government
agencies  and prime  contractors.  The  December  31, 2001  Government  contract
backlog  of  $50,695,000  represents  firm,  existing  contracts.  Approximately
$22,900,000 of this amount will be completed in calendar year 2002 as funding is
committed.

     The following discussion and analysis highlights items having a significant
effect on operations  during the  three-year  period ended December 31, 2001. It
may not be  indicative of future  operations  or earnings.  It should be read in
conjunction  with the  Consolidated  Financial  Statements and Notes thereto and
other financial and statistical information appearing elsewhere in this report.

Results of Operations - 2001 Compared to 2000

     The Company reported revenues of $118.5 million for the year ended December
31,  2001,  an increase  of 17% from the $100.9  million  reported in 2000.  The
Company  recorded net income of $520,000,  or diluted earnings per share of $.07
for 2001. This compares to a net loss of $13.4 million or diluted loss per share
of $1.71 for 2000.

     The operating  results for 2001  represent a significant  improvement  from
2000 and was due to a dramatic  turnaround in the Company's  restaurant segment.
This was attributable to an increase in capital spending by numerous  restaurant
customers,  release  of new and  improved  products  as well as  operating  cost
reductions  implemented over the last year. The Company was successful in adding
13 new customer accounts  consistent with its strategy to diversify its customer
base.  Looking forward,  the Company will continue to pursue new markets for its
products including gaming, specialty retail and banking.

     Product  revenues  were $54.4  million in 2001, an increase of 24% from the
$44 million  recorded in 2000. The growth in product  revenue is attributable to
the significant  recovery of the Company's  restaurant  business in 2001 after a
decline in 2000.  The Company  added several new accounts in 2001 such as Boston
Market and Carnival Cruise Lines. In addition,  the Company achieved growth with
its traditional  customers including Tricon and McDonald's.  This turnaround can
be  attributed  to several  factors,  including the release of the Company's new
hardware product, POS4XP(TM), increased demand for its integrated software suite
and a general improvement in economic conditions in the Company's marketplace.


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

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

     Product  margins  were 34% in 2001  compared  to 23% in 2000.  This  margin
improvement was attributable to a more favorable product mix, including a higher
software content,  and a reduction in manufacturing  overhead costs. The Company
also  significantly  improved its  absorption  of fixed  manufacturing  costs as
production levels increased  substantially  over 2000, and reduced its provision
for inventory obsolescence due to improved inventory management.

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

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


     Selling,  general and  administrative  expenses  were $18.8 million in 2001
versus $25.6  million in 2000, a decrease of 27%. This decline was the result of
cost  reductions  made by the  Company  in the  fourth  quarter  of 2000 and its
ongoing  efforts to control costs without  impacting  core  capabilities.  Other
elements of this  decline  include the costs of an early  retirement  program in
2000 that did not recur in 2001 and a reduction in the  provision  for bad debts
in 2001.

     Research and development  expenses were $7.4 million in 2001, a decrease of
26%  from  the  $9.9  million  recorded  in  2000.  This  decline  is due to the
completion of the new POS4XP(TM)  system, a reduced  investment in the Company's
industrial business, and other expense reductions, which were implemented at the
end of 2000. Research and development costs attributable to government contracts
are included in cost of contract revenues.

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

     In 2001, the Company's  effective tax rate was 31.8%. The variance from the
statutory rate was due to the benefit  derived from state net operating  losses,
the  extraterritorial  income exclusion and the utilization of research credits.
This was partially  offset by non deductible  expenses and foreign income taxes.
In 2000, the Company's effective tax rate was a 38.4% benefit. The variance from
the  statutory  rate was  primarily  due to the benefit  recognized on state net
operating losses.

Results of Operations - 2000 Compared to 1999

     The Company reported  revenues of $100.9 million for the year ended 2000, a
decrease of 30% from the $144.8 million  reported in 1999. For 2000, the Company
recorded a net loss of $13.4 million  versus net income of $2.0 million in 1999.
The diluted loss per share was $1.71 for 2000,  compared to diluted earnings per
share of $.23 in 1999.

     In 2000,  the Company  was  adversely  affected by the current  weakness in
worldwide  economic  conditions  and in  particular  the slowdown in  restaurant
corporate  and  consumer  spending.  After a robust year in capital  spending in
1999,  many of the Company's  customers  significantly  decreased  their capital
expenditures  for new equipment in 2000. The Company reacted to this slowdown by
implementing  certain cost reductions  (without impacting its core capabilities)
in the fourth quarter of 2000.  These actions will reduce costs  throughout 2001
and improve the Company's  cash flow.

     During 1999,  the Company  recorded a one time charge of $1.7 million ($1.1
million  after  tax or a loss  per  share of $.13)  relating  to trade  accounts
receivable  owed the Company by AmeriServe Food  Distribution,  Inc. which filed
for protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.


     Product revenues were $44 million in 2000, a decrease of 50% from the $88.8
million recorded in 1999. This decline was reflective of the general slowdown in
the  buying  patterns  of  the  Company's   restaurant   customers  following  a
significant  purchasing  volume in 1999.  This  decline was also  attributed  to
ongoing delays in the release of PAR's restaurant  management software,  as well
as the release and market  acceptance of third party  software  products used in
the Company's POS systems.

     Customer  service  revenues  were $31.9  million in 2000, a decrease of 11%
from  the  $36  million  in  1999.  This  decline  was   attributable  to  lower
installation  revenue  and  supply  sales,  which  is  directly  related  to the
decreased  product revenue discussed above. This decline was partially offset by
an increase in the volume of field service activity.

     Contract  revenues  were $25  million  in  2000,  an  increase  of 25% when
compared to the $20 million recorded in 1999. This growth was primarily due to a
four-year,  $24 million Navy contract to operate and maintain  communications in
support of the Pacific Fleet.  The growth was also  attributable to the recently
awarded $4.5  million  contract  with the US Navy to provide  telecommunications
support  to the Naval  Computer  and  Telecommunications  Detachment  located in
Brunswick, Maine.

     Product  margins were 23% for 2000 compared to 37% for 1999.  This decrease
resulted from absorption of fixed  manufacturing costs on low product volume and
less favorable product mix.

     Customer  service  margins  were 9% in 2000  compared  to 3% in 1999.  This
increase was due to efficiency improvements during 2000 related to the Company's
service  management  system,  and certain price  adjustments.  During the fourth
quarter  annual  physical  inventory of its service  parts in 1999,  the Company
discovered unreconciled differences between the physical count and the perpetual
inventory records. As a result, the Company recorded an after tax charge of $1.7
million or $.20 per share.  This  situation  was  caused by  implementation  and
process issues related to the recently installed service management system.

     Contract  margins  were 6% in  2000  and  1999.  Margins  on the  Company's
government contract business typically run between 5% and 6%.


     Selling,  general and  administrative  expenses  were $25.6 million in 2000
versus  $23.5  million  for the same  period in 1999,  an  increase  of 9%. This
increase was due to an increase in severance  costs  related to cost  reductions
during the year,  and to an increase in the provision for bad debts required for
various  aged  receivables.  Additionally,  depreciation  expense on the service
management system  contributed to this increase.  These increases were partially
offset by a decline  in  selling  expense,  which is  directly  related to lower
product revenues.

     Research and development expenses were $9.9 million in 2000, an increase of
23% from the $8.1 million  recorded in 1999. This increase was the result of the
Company's investment in its new iN.fusion(TM)  software suite for its restaurant
customers   and   its    investment    in    enterprise    solutions   for   its
manufacturing/warehousing customers. Research and development costs attributable
to government contracts are included in cost of contract revenues.

     Other income includes rental income and foreign  currency gains and losses.
There were no significant variations in 2000 when compared to 1999.

     Interest expense was $1 million in 2000, an increase of $480,000 from 1999.
This represents  interest  charged on the Company's  short-term  borrowings from
banks and from  long-term  debt  acquired  during  2000.  The average  amount of
outstanding borrowings was higher during 2000 than in 1999.

     In 2000, the Company's  effective tax rate was a 38% benefit.  The variance
from the statutory rate was primarily due to the benefit recognized on state net
operating losses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The  Company's  primary  source of liquidity has been from  operations  and
lines of credit with various banks. In 2001, the Company  reported net income of
$520,000 and an operating  cash flow deficit of $309,000.  This is a significant
improvement  from 2000 when the Company reported a net loss of $13.4 million and
an  operating  cash flow deficit of $8 million.  This  dramatic  turnaround  was
attributable  to an increase in capital  spending  by the  Company's  restaurant
customers, release of the Company's new POS4XP(TM) product, increased demand for
the Company's software,  and certain cost reductions  implemented by the Company
at the end of 2000.


     Cash used by operating  activities  was  $309,000 in 2001  compared to cash
used of $8 million in 2000.  In 2001,  cash flow  benefited  from the  Company's
return to  profitability,  a  reduction  in  inventory  and the timing of vendor
payments.  This was offset by an increase in accounts receivable.  In 2000, cash
flow was  negatively  affected by the  Company's  operating  losses,  which were
partially offset by a reduction in accounts receivable.

     Cash used in  investing  activities  was $1.3  million in 2001  versus $1.5
million for 2000. In 2001, capital expenditures were primarily for manufacturing
equipment and for  improvements to the Company's  customer  service  facility in
Boulder,  Colorado.  Capitalized  software costs were $742,000 in 2001. In 2000,
capital  expenditures were primarily for improvements to the Company's corporate
facilities. In addition, the Company capitalized $914,000 of software costs.

     Cash provided by financing  activities was $1.2 million in 2001 compared to
$9.8  million  in 2000.  In  2001,  the  Company  increased  its  line-of-credit
borrowings  by $830,000  and cash of $473,000  was  provided by the  exercise of
employee  stock  options.  In 2000,  the Company  increased  its  line-of-credit
borrowings  by  $8.8  million  and  secured  a  mortgage  on a  portion  of  its
headquarter  facilities.  Cash provided by these activities was partially offset
by cash used to acquire 336,800 shares of treasury stock for $1.4 million.

     The Company currently has  line-of-credit  agreements,  which aggregate $20
million with various banks.  This amount was increased from the $18.5 million of
available  lines at December 31, 2000.  At December 31, 2001,  $14.6 million was
outstanding under these agreements. The Company is continuing to look at various
alternatives to further increase its credit  availability.  The Company believes
that it has  adequate  financial  resources  to meet its  future  liquidity  and
capital requirements in 2002.

Critical Accounting Policies

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


     Revenues  from  product  sales are  recorded as the  products  are shipped,
provided that no significant vendor or post-contract  support obligations remain
and the collection of the related receivable is probable.  The Company's service
revenues  are  recognized  ratably  over the related  contract  period or as the
services are performed. Billings in advance of the Company's performance of such
work are reflected as deferred service revenue in the accompanying  consolidated
balance sheet.

     The Company's  contract  revenues result  primarily from contract  services
performed   for   the   United   States    Government   under   a   variety   of
cost-reimbursement,   time-and-material  and  fixed-price  contracts.   Contract
revenues,  including  fees and profits,  are recorded as services are  performed
using the  percentage-of-completion  method of  accounting,  primarily  based on
contract  costs  incurred to date compared with  estimated  costs at completion.
Anticipated losses on all contracts and programs in process are recorded in full
when identified. Unbilled accounts receivable are stated at estimated realizable
value.  Contract costs,  including indirect  expenses,  are subject to audit and
adjustment   through   negotiations   between   the   Company   and   government
representatives.  Contract  revenues  have been  recorded  in  amounts  that are
expected to be  realized  on final  settlement.  The  Company  follows  accepted
industry practice and records amounts retained by the government on contracts as
a current asset.

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

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

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

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

Item 7A:       Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

     Inflation  had little  effect on revenues  and related  costs  during 2001.
Management  anticipates that margins will be maintained at acceptable  levels to
minimize the effects of inflation, if any.

     The Company has a total interest  bearing  short-term debt of approximately
$14.6 million. Management believes that increases in short-term rates could have
an adverse effect on the Company's 2002 results.

     Management  believes that foreign currency  fluctuations  should not have a
significant  impact on gross margins due to the low volume of business  affected
by foreign currencies.

In our  opinion,  the  consolidated  financial  statements  listed  in the index
appearing  under  Item  14(a) (1) on page 32  present  fairly,  in all  material
respects,   the  financial  position  of  PAR  Technology  Corporation  and  its
subsidiaries at December 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000 and the results of their
operations  and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 2001 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United  States of  America.  In  addition,  in our  opinion,  the  financial
statement schedule listed in the index appearing under Item 14(a) (2) on page 32
presents  fairly,  in all material  respects,  the information set forth therein
when read in conjunction  with the related  consolidated  financial  statements.
These   financial   statements   and  financial   statement   schedule  are  the
responsibility of the Company's management;  our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial  statements and financial statement schedule based on
our audits.  We conducted  our audits of these  statements  in  accordance  with
auditing  standards  generally  accepted in the United States of America,  which
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable  assurance about
whether the financial  statements  are free of material  misstatement.  An audit
includes  examining,  on a test  basis,  evidence  supporting  the  amounts  and
disclosures in the financial  statements,  assessing the  accounting  principles
used and  significant  estimates made by management,  and evaluating the overall
financial  statement  presentation.   We  believe  that  our  audits  provide  a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

Statements




NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of consolidation

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

Revenue recognition

     During 2000, the Company amended its revenue recognition policy in order to
comply with Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 101, Revenue  Recognition.  This
change did not have a material  impact on the  results of  operations.  Revenues
from sales of products are recorded as the products are shipped,  provided  that
no  significant  vendor and  post-contract  support  obligations  remain and the
collection of the related receivable is probable. The Company's service revenues
are recognized  ratably over the related  contract period or as the services are
performed.  Billings in advance of the  Company's  performance  of such work are
reflected as deferred service revenue in the accompanying  consolidated  balance
sheet.

     The Company's  contract  revenues result  primarily from contract  services
performed   for   the   United   States    Government   under   a   variety   of
cost-reimbursement,   time-and-material  and  fixed-price  contracts.   Contract
revenues,  including  fees and profits,  are recorded as services are  performed
using the  percentage-of-completion  method of  accounting,  primarily  based on
contract  costs  incurred to date compared with  estimated  costs at completion.
Anticipated losses on all contracts and programs in process are recorded in full
when identified. Unbilled accounts receivable are stated at estimated realizable
value.  Contract costs,  including indirect  expenses,  are subject to audit and
adjustment   through   negotiations   between   the   Company   and   government
representatives.  Contract  revenues  have been  recorded  in  amounts  that are
expected to be  realized  on final  settlement.  The  Company  follows  accepted
industry practice and records amounts retained by the government on contracts as
a current asset.


Statement of cash flows

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

 Inventories

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

 Property, plant and equipment

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

 Warranties

     A majority of the  Company's  products  are under  warranty  for defects in
material and workmanship for various periods of time. The Company establishes an
accrual for estimated warranty costs at the time of sale.

 Income taxes

     The provision for income taxes is based upon pretax  earnings with deferred
income  taxes  provided  for the  temporary  differences  between the  financial
reporting basis and the tax basis of the Company's assets and  liabilities.  The
Company  believes it is more likely  than not to realize  the net  deferred  tax
asset and accordingly no valuation allowance has been provided.

 Foreign currency

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


Research and development costs

     The  Company  capitalizes  certain  costs  related  to the  development  of
computer  software under the  requirements of Statement of Financial  Accounting
Standards  No. 86,  Accounting  for the Costs of  Computer  Software to be Sold,
Leased,  or Otherwise  Marketed.  Software  development  costs incurred prior to
establishing technological feasibility are charged to operations and included in
research and  development  costs.  Software  development  costs  incurred  after
establishing  feasibility are capitalized and amortized on a  product-by-product
basis when the  product is  available  for  general  release to  customers.  The
unamortized  computer  software  costs  included  in other  assets  amounted  to
$2,165,000  and $2,799,000 at December 31, 2001 and 2000,  respectively.  Annual
amortization,  charged to cost of sales,  is  computed  using the  straight-line
method over the  remaining  estimated  economic  life of the product,  generally
three years.  Amortization of capitalized software costs amounted to $1,376,000,
$1,297,000 and $1,183,000 in 2001, 2000, and 1999, respectively.

Stock-based compensation

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

 Earnings per share

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




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

Use of Estimates

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


Reclassifications

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

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

     In July 2001, The Financial  Accounting  Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS
142 "Goodwill and Other  Intangible  Assets,"  which  establishes  new financial
accounting and reporting requirements for acquired goodwill and other intangible
assets.  Upon implementation of SFAS 142, goodwill and intangible assets with an
indefinite life will not be amortized but will be tested, at least annually, for
impairment.  Intangible  assets with finite lives will  continue to be amortized
over their useful lives,  but without the constraint of a ceiling.  Furthermore,
the Statement requires  additional  disclosure for financial statement purposes.
The Company is required to  implement  this  standard for the fiscal year ending
December  31,  2002.  Adoption of  Statement  No. 142 is not  expected to have a
significant  effect  on  the  Company's   consolidated  results  of  operations,
financial position or cash flows.

Note 2 - Business Operations

     In 2001, the Company  reported net income of $520,000 and an operating cash
flow deficit of $309,000.  This is a significant  improvement from 2000 when the
Company  reported a net loss of $13.4 million and an operating cash flow deficit
of $8 million.  This  dramatic  turnaround  was  attributable  to an increase in
capital spending by the Company's restaurant customers, release of the Company's
new POS4XP(TM) product,  increased demand for the Company's  integrated software
and to cost  reductions  made in personnel and  discretionary  expenses over the
last year. In addition, the Company was successful in obtaining new customers in
2001. The Company is continuing to pursue  strategic  initiatives  involving new
technology and business alliances.  These initiatives are focused on new markets
for the Company's  products as well as further  penetration  into the restaurant
market.

     The  Company's  primary  source  of  liquidity  has been  cash  flows  from
operations and borrowings under its existing credit facilities. During 2001, the
Company increased its credit  facilities from $18.5 million to $20 million.  One
facility  for $12.5  million  expires  April 30,  2003 and the  second  facility
expires  September  30,  2002.  Management  continues  to  evaluate  its overall
financing  requirements  to ensure  adequate  financing is available to fund its
business operations.


Note 3 - Nonrecurring Charges

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

     On February 1, 2000 AmeriServe Food Distribution, Inc., a large distributor
to fast-food  restaurants,  filed for  protection  under  Chapter 11 of the U.S.
Bankruptcy  Code.  During 1999  equipment sold by the Company for use in certain
Tricon  restaurants was purchased through  AmeriServe.  As a result, at December
31,  1999,  the  Company  was owed $1.7  million in trade  accounts  receivable.
Accordingly,  due to this uncertainty, the Company recorded a one-time after tax
charge to earnings of $1.1 million  ($0.13 loss per share) in the fourth quarter
of 1999.

Note 4 - Accounts Receivable

     The Company's net accounts receivable consist of:

     At  December  31, 2001 and 2000,  the  Company  had  recorded a reserve for
doubtful  accounts of $4,489,000  and  $4,420,000,  respectively,  against trade
accounts  receivable.   Trade  accounts  receivable  are  primarily  with  major
fast-food corporations or their franchisees.  At December 31, 2001 and 2000, the
Company had also recorded reserves of $15,000 and $24,000, respectively, against
government accounts receivable.

Note 10 - Employee Benefit Plans

     The  Company  has a deferred  profit-sharing  retirement  plan that  covers
substantially  all employees.  The Company's annual  contribution to the plan is
discretionary.  There was no contribution to the plan in 2001.  Contributions to
the  plan  in  2000  and  1999  were  approximately   $257,000  and  $1,030,000,
respectively. The plan also contains a 401(k) provision that allows employees to
contribute a percentage of their salary.

     The Company also maintains an incentive-compensation  plan. Participants in
the plan are key employees as determined by executive  management.  Compensation
under  the  plan  is  based  on  the  achievement  of  predetermined   financial
performance goals of the Company and its subsidiaries. Awards under the plan are
payable in cash. Awards under the plan totaled  $416,000,  $0, $360,000 in 2001,
2000 and 1999, respectively.

Note 11 - Contingencies

     The Company is subject to legal  proceedings,  which arise in the  ordinary
course of  business.  In the  opinion  of  management,  all  matters,  which are
currently in various  stages of  litigation,  are without  merit and the Company
intends to defend such claims vigorously. Additionally, U.S. Government contract
costs are  subject  to  periodic  audit  and  adjustment.  Based on  information
currently  available,  management  believes that the outcome of any such actions
will not  materially  affect the financial  position or results of operations of
the Company.

Note 12 - Segment and Related Information

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


     In 2001, the Company has three reportable segments, Restaurant,  Industrial
and  Government.  The  Restaurant  segment  offers  integrated  solutions to the
restaurant   industry,   including   industry   leading  hardware  and  software
applications utilized at the point-of-sale,  back of store and corporate office.
This segment also offers customer support including field service, installation,
twenty-four  hour telephone  support and depot repair.  The Industrial  segment,
which targets Fortune 500 industrial  companies,  designs and implements complex
integrated  transaction  processing solutions  incorporating its data collection
and management  software that provide real-time  connectivity with multiple host
computers, diverse legacy applications,  "best-of-breed" software and data input
hardware  technologies.  The Government segment designs and implements  advanced
technology  computer  software  systems  primarily for military and intelligence
agency applications.  It provides services for operating and maintaining certain
U.S. Government-owned naval communication sites, and for planning, executing and
evaluating  experiments  involving new or advanced radar systems.  The Company's
Vision  segment was disposed of in 2000.  Inter-segment  sales and transfers are
not material.
