LOJACK EXPECTS LOSS IN FOURTH QUARTER AS RESULT OF ADOPTING SEC REVENUE RECOGNITION GUIDELINES; COST OF MANAGEMENT REORGANIZATION AND REDUCED REVENUES DUE TO WEAK NEW CAR SALES WILL ALSO IMPACT RESULTS

Dedham, MA, April 4--LoJack Corporation, (NASDAQ NMS: "LOJN") announced today that it expects to report a loss in the range of $0.18 to $0.20 per share for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2001, ended February 28, although the company expects to be profitable for the year. Included in the loss is the effect of a one-time charge that will be taken in the quarter as a result of the adoption of the SEC's Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 ("SAB 101"), "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements". The SAB 101 adjustment is a cumulative adjustment to defer and amortize revenue previously recognized on international license fees. This revenue adjustment will be recorded in license fee revenue in future periods. The effect of this cumulative adjustment will be to lower LoJack's earnings for the quarter by $0.18 to $0.20 per share.

Without this required change in accounting, the company would have reported break-even results for the quarter. The break-even results are primarily attributable to lower domestic revenues, the result of a downturn in new vehicle sales during the quarter, and a one-time pre-tax charge of $1.5million , or approximately $0.06 per share, related to management reorganization.

The company expects full year earnings per share, excluding the non-recurring charges and the cumulative effect of SAB 101, will be slightly less than the prior year when the company earned $0.52 per share. The company expects to release its earnings during the week of April 23, 2001.

In making the announcement, Ronald J. Rossi, chairman and chief executive officer said, "LoJack has taken a new direction with greater emphasis on sales growth. The recent changes in the company's organizational structure will permit a more vigorous and targeted sales effort within the company's traditional new car dealer network. The progress of this new direction should be reflected later in the new fiscal year. At the same time, the company is seeking to expand its distribution channels as well as its product lines. We will continue to build the LoJack brand name and our profitable revenue base," Mr. Rossi said.
