LOJACK CORPORATION REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER AND FISCAL YEAR 2002 RESULTS

Westwood, MA, March 12, 2002 - LoJack Corporation, (NASDAQ NMS: "LOJN") reported that for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001, a ten-month transition period resulting from the company's change from a fiscal year ending the last day of February to a calendar year, revenues were $84,379,000 versus $80,369,000 for the comparable ten months ended December 31, 2000. Net income for the ten-month transition period was $2,955,000, or $.19 per diluted share, compared to net income for the ten months ended December 31, 2000 of $4,761,000, or $.29 per diluted share. Net income for the ten months ended December 31, 2000 includes the effects of the adoption of the SEC's Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 ("SAB 101"), "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements," which, as previously disclosed, resulted in a one-time charge of $2,978,000, or $.18 per diluted share, to be recognized in subsequent periods. Approximately $446,000 ($.03 per diluted share) of this charge has been recognized in net income in the ten-month transition period.

Domestic revenues for the ten-month transition period were $70,226,000, compared to $68,764,000 for the ten months ended December 31, 2000. International revenues for the ten-month transition period were $14,153,000, versus $11,605,000 for the ten months ended December 31, 2000.

As a result of the fiscal year change, future quarters will end on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31. The change was effected to align LoJack's reporting periods with its major customers.

For the fourth quarter, a one-month period that ended December 31, 2001, revenues were $7,484,000 compared to revenues of $5,764,000 for the month of December 2000. The company is beginning to see results from its investments in marketing, advertising, and sales, as reflected in the 30% increase in revenue in December compared to the prior year. The net loss for the one-month fourth quarter was ($1,363,000) or ($.09) per diluted share, compared to net income of $310,000, or $.02 per diluted share, for the month of December 2000. The one-month loss was primarily the result of timing of expense recognition relating to engineering, new products, recruiting fees for new marketing and sales personnel, and year-to-date volume price rebate levels achieved in December by a major international licensee. In addition, the company continued its ongoing investments in marketing during December.

The company receives payments in connection with its warranty programs, but recognition of this revenue is spread over the life of the warranties. The total additions to deferred revenue at December 31, 2001 relating to payments received on these programs in the one and ten months ended December 31, 2001 amounted to $189,000 and $3,747,000, respectively. These payments are becoming an increasingly significant component of the company's cash flow.

In announcing the results, Ronald J. Rossi, chairman, said, "In the December quarter, we began to see growth resulting from our investments in people, marketing, information technology, and product development. Domestic unit sales increased 26% over the previous year, which is on top of sales growth of 27% and 29% in October and November. The trend has continued this quarter, despite an overall decline in new car sales. In addition, attesting to the increasing strength of our existing international licensees, unit sales in these markets continued to grow as well.

"In the coming quarters, we will continue with our investments in accordance with our strategic business plan. As a result, we expect the next several quarters to have marginal profits as we continue our multi-media advertising campaign, and implement other tactical initiatives to grow our business. Because of our strong financial position we expect to continue to finance this growth internally.

"During our ten-month transition period the company repurchased 1,056,640 shares under its stock buyback program. The company may continue to repurchase shares as they become available at price levels we believe represent a good investment opportunity. As of March 1 2002, a total of 8,190,840 shares have been repurchased since inception of the program."
