                    RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES THAT MAY AFFECT
                          FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS


     Forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of the Company represent
the Company's reasonable judgement on the future and are subject to risks and
uncertainties.  Actual results may differ materially from those projected in the
forward-looking statements.  Such risks and uncertainties include, among others:

     THE COMPANY DEPENDS ON ITS PRINCIPAL PRODUCTS AND MARKET ACCEPTANCE OF
THEM.  The Company currently derives most of its revenues from consumer sales of
LoJack Units and related products, the licensing of its Stolen Vehicle Recovery
System and sale of related products to licensees in foreign countries.   The
Company also derives a limited portion of its revenues from sales of
conventional vehicle security devices.  As a result, any factor adversely
affecting sales of the Company's principal products would have an adverse effect
on the Company.

     The Company's success is also heavily dependent upon acceptance of its
current and future products in new markets.  There is no assurance that the
LoJack System will continue to achieve widespread consumer acceptance in all of
the Company's existing or future markets.

     THE COMPANY IS AFFECTED BY CHANGES IN ECONOMIC CONDITIONS AND NEW VEHICLE
SALES.  The Company's products are installed in new and used vehicles; the
Company's sales, however, are primarily driven by the production and sales of
new vehicles.  As a result, any change in general economic conditions resulting
in decreased new vehicle sales could adversely affect the Company.  Because new
car sales are most often a discretionary activity, the Company is unable to
accurately predict its sales in future quarters.  In any quarter, many factors
can affect the Company's revenues.  These factors include, but are not limited
to, periods of economic slowdown, slowdowns in vehicle production, labor
disputes affecting the automobile industry, and any change in general economic
conditions.  If fewer new vehicles are sold or produced, fewer LoJack Units may
be installed.

     THE COMPANY DEPENDS ON KEY PERSONNEL.  The Company's success depends, to a
significant degree, upon the efforts and abilities of key creative, technical,
marketing, sales and management personnel.  The loss of services of one or more
of these key employees could have an adverse effect on the Company.  In
addition, the Company believes that its future success depends in part upon its
ability to attract, retain, and motivate qualified personnel necessary for the
development of its business.  There can be no assurance that the Company will be
successful in attracting and retaining such personnel.  The Company has no
employment contracts with its key employees.

     THE COMPANY IS SUBJECT TO GOVERNMENT REGULATION AND APPROVAL.   The Company
must obtain the approval of law enforcement agencies, as well other governmental
agencies, for implementation of the LoJack System before sales of LoJack Units
can commence in a given jurisdiction.  The approval process may be time
consuming and costly.  In addition, governmental approval may be terminable at
the convenience of the executive or legislative body in some jurisdictions.
Such governmental discretion and regulation may limit the number of potential
customers for the Company's services or impede its ability to offer competitive
services to the market.  The Company may encounter similar or additional
regulatory requirements as it expands into foreign markets.

     THE COMPANY DEPENDS ON PROPRIETARY TECHNOLOGY.  The Company's success is
dependent on its proprietary technology.  Although the Company seeks to protect
its intellectual rights through patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets
and license agreements, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able
to protect its technology from misappropriation or that competitors will not
develop similar technology independently.  There can be no assurance that third
parties will not assert that the Company's products infringe upon their own
patents, copyrights, or trade secrets.  In addition, the laws of certain foreign
countries in which the Company's products are or may be distributed do not
protect the Company's products and intellectual rights to the same extent as the
laws of the United States.

     THE COMPANY DEPENDS ON A SINGLE SUPPLIER FOR PRINCIPAL PRODUCT.   Key
components of the Company's principal product are currently manufactured to the
Company's specifications by a single supplier.  Although these key components
could be obtained from other suppliers, there can be no assurance that the
Company could obtain such components from an alternative supplier without undue
cost and expense.

     THE COMPANY FACES COMPETITION.  Several competitors or potential
competitors are marketing or have announced the development of stolen vehicle
recovery products directly competitive with the LoJack System.  To the Company's
knowledge, competitors have not developed stolen vehicle recovery products
directly compatible with the LoJack System.  In addition, the Company is unaware
of any competitor who proposes a system capable of being operated or actively
monitored exclusively by law enforcement agencies as is the LoJack System.
However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to compete
successfully against existing companies or new entrants to the marketplace.
Furthermore, the development by competitors of new or improved products or
technologies may render the Company's products or proposed products obsolete or
less competitive
