The Competitors
- Nedap
- Recently released sensor
- Mix of infrared and magnetic detection
- Frog
- Company still in start-up phase
- Solar powered sensor and magnetic detection limits accuracy
- Park Assist
- Focus on guidance
- No in ground sensor

The Competitors (cont.)
• Streetline/StreetSmart
- Similar products, one sensor is in-ground, one is underground
- Use magnetic field detection so prone to interference
- Designed to show where overstays are occurring. Sensor talks to the handheld so have to be within close proximity of the bay
- Summary
- CPT has sophisticated back-end reporting software -- Smartrep
- CPT has integrated sensors and Smartrep with multiple third party parking meter and other suppliers
- CPT has been independently tested and verified
- CPT's sensor system is highly accurate
- CPT offers hot swapping and low cost maintenance

The Future
Version II sensor, anticipated release Q1 2013:

- Integrated RFID tag for permit parking, i.e. disabled parking, residents parking, universities etc.
- 16 million encrypted ID's available for e-wallet interface
- Provides 2-way communication between sensor and network
- Allows sensors to be interrogated and programmed remotely
- Means charge rates, parking times and bay type in guidance applications, can be dynamically changed in response to activity.
- Flat-head sensor, more suited to city installs where roadway is shared with cyclists etc, eliminates "trip hazard".

Key Focus Next 12 Months
- While focussed on closing existing deals we will also look for opportunities to make our products more attractive and financially viable to ensure we continue to thrive.
- We will add value to what we offer and expand the markets in which we operate.
- We are very aware of the need to maintain a point of difference. R&D is focused on market driven development and to that end we will increase our R&D spend as our technology is a differentiator.
- With the likely interest generated by the Westminster trial we are focussed on ensuring it becomes a flagship model for on-street monitoring and enforcement.
