OUTLOOK
Medium Term Outlook
Major contributors to growth in medium term are:
1. Intersection Products
• $25m NSW upgrade underpins major contract revenue until
late CY’15 (slow start, but project is expected to complete on
time)
• Further upgrade projects across Australia with ~35% of
market not yet LED
• Expansion of product range with QTC acquisition
• Implementation of new products e.g. electronic speed signs
Exports
Domestic
Exports vs. Domestic Revenue
4. Operations
• Continued focus on margin improvement with further
product rationalisation & manufacturing efficiencies
• Synergy benefits of QTC acquisition
3. Exports
• Export opportunities for existing
product to 27 countries with
SCATS operated traffic systems
• Further sales into UK
• Market for emergency
telephones also large offshore
• Expanded worldwide distribution
network from QTC acquisition
FY’14 Outlook
• Too early to give FY’14 guidance but expect:
– Pick up in revenue from NSW traffic signals upgrade
– Improved revenue & earnings from exports & road
lighting
– QTC expected to contribute to second half of FY’14
2. Road Lighting
• LED road light trials (VIC, NSW & SA) expected to complete
in near term
• Market is 2-3x size of intersection products
• LED product offers
- Increased energy efficiency + reduced carbon footprint
- Operational cost savings - longer life + reduced
maintenance costs over life
• Traditional road lighting contracts in conjunction with Rexel

QTC acquisition was the missing piece within the Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) Sector
• ITS are advanced applications which aim to make safer, more coordinated and smarter use of roadways
• ITS uses information and communication technology to manage traffic flows

QTC ACQUISITION
Acquisition of Quick Turn Circuits (QTC)
• Completed acquisition of QTC in December 2013
• Purchase Price $4m – consists of business, inventory and IP
• Expected to be earnings accretive in 2014
QTC Traffic Solutions
• Sydney based manufacturer of SCATS* based traffic controllers**
• Established in 1995
• TTI has been distributing QTC controllers in VIC since 2010
• Export opportunities to 27 countries with SCATS systems
Strategic Rationale of QTC acquisition
• Expansion of intersection product range
• Opens up new export markets for TTI’s existing SCATS
accredited products
• Acquisition of IP will negate substantial R&D costs of developing
a controller and time associated with obtaining accreditation
* SCATS (Sydney Coordinated Adaptive Traffic System) is a fully adaptive urban traffic control system that optimises traffic flow. The system is recognised worldwide as an intelligent
transport system and has been deployed to over 35,000+ intersections in 27 countries.
** Traffic controller is an automated device that regulates the sequencing and timing of traffic signals by monitoring vehicular and pedestrian demands and adjusting to meet these
requirements. The controller has the ability to allow co-ordination of traffic flows between adjacent intersections when connected to a co-ordinated adaptive traffic system.

large scale project work in
coming years
Australia & NZ
• QTC acquisition opens up
further export markets - 27
countries using SCATS
London market alone has
~6,000 intersections: Already supplying
countdown timers
Appointed to panel to supply traffic intersection products
Export markets
• Road lighting market in
Australia estimated to be 2-3x
intersection market
• Agreement with Rexel to
manufacture and supply a
range of traditional road
lighting products for
distribution through Rexel’s
branch network across
Australia
Conventional
• Developing Category V & P
LED luminaires
• Initial focus on Category V:
