NOTE 1 --- COMPANY OVERVIEW

The Company is a leading provider of vehicle location and fleet management
services, including associated two-way digital wireless messaging, to
commercial fleet operators.  The Company has developed a proprietary land-
based location technology that provides customers with a low-cost, accurate
and reliable real-time method of locating vehicles in selected metropolitan
areas.  The Company's system is designed to enable customers to better
manage their mobile workforce, provide security for their property and
personnel and communicate more effectively with mobile workers.

The Company offers a range of fleet management solutions, depending on the
customer's budget and location and messaging needs.  All of these solutions
involve the installation of a Vehicle Location Unit "VLU" in each vehicle. 
The VLU is a radio transceiver that receives and transmits signals used to
determine a vehicle's location.  In addition to the VLU, commercial fleet
customers generally purchase software or location services from the
Company.  The Company's primary product for commercial fleets is Fleet
Director(Registered), a proprietary software application that permits
simultaneous location of all fleet vehicles on a real-time 24-hour-a-day
basis through a digitized map displayed on the customer's dedicated
personal computer, which is connected to the Company's networks.  Fleet
Director(Registered) can be complemented with the Company's messaging
units, which allow two-way messaging between the fleet dispatcher and
drivers directly from the Fleet Director(Registered) screen.  In the first
quarter of 1998, the Company introduced Winfleet(Trademark), a Microsoft
Windows(Registered)-based application based on Fleet Director(Registered)
that will not require a dedicated computer.

As of December 31, 1997, the Company operated in nine metropolitan markets:
Los Angeles, Chicago, Detroit, Dallas, Miami, Houston, Orlando, San
Francisco, and San Diego.  During the first quarter of 1998, the Company
commenced operations in three additional metropolitan markets: Sacramento,
Washington D.C. and Baltimore and has plans to begin offering its services
in three additional markets by the end of 1998. The Company also use; its
proprietary location systems to provide vehicle location and stolen vehicle
recovery services to consumers in its Los Angeles and Miami markets.

The Company's revenues are derived from sales and installation of its
VLU's, messaging units, proprietary software and charges for its services.

ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations contain forward-looking statements which involve risks and
uncertainties.  The Company's actual results may differ significantly from
the results discussed in forward-looking statements.  Factors that might
cause such a difference include, but are not limited to, the "Risk Factors"
set forth in the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-1.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three Months Ended March 31, 1998 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31,
1997

     REVENUES.  Total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1998
were $6.7 million, compared to $4.7 million in the first quarter of 1997,
an increase of 43%.

     Equipment revenues increased to $2.7 million for the three months
ended March 31, 1998 from $1.9 million for the three months ended March 31,
1997, an increase of 42%, principally due to an increase in the Company's
commercial sales efforts.  Gross commercial sales increased to 8,474 units
for the three months ended March 31, 1998 from 6,668 units for the three
months ended March 31, 1997.  Equipment revenues in future periods may
decline relative to the number of new units going into service because the
Company has introduced an equipment rental program.  The rental program was
introduced in the first quarter of 1998 and will effect second quarter
equipment revenues due to some units being rented rather than sold.

     Service revenues increased to $4.0 million for the three months ended
March 31, 1998 from $2.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 1997,
an increase of 48%, primarily due to an increase in the number of
commercial units in service, to 71,202 at March 31, 1998 from 48,240 at
March 31, 1997.  Also, the average commercial service revenue per unit
increased to $18.06 in March 1998 from $16.57 in March 1997 as a result of
an increase in both ancillary services and monthly airtime rates.

     COST OF REVENUES.  Cost of revenues includes the cost of equipment and
the direct cost of providing service (network telephone, billing, roadside
assistance and bad debt expense).  Cost of revenues increased to $3.0
million for the three months ended March 31, 1998 from $2.0 million for the
three months ended March 31, 1997 primarily as a result of the higher
number of new units sold and in service.

     RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT, ENGINEERING, SELLING, GENERAL AND
ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES.  Research and development, engineering, selling,
general and administrative expenses increased by $0.1 million, to $8.9
million for the three months ended March 31, 1998 from $8.8 million for the<PAGE>
 <PAGE 15>
three months ended March 31, 1997.  The Company expensed $0.4 million in
the three months ended March 31, 1998 relating to research and development
for its new Integrated Base Station Unit (IBSU).

     DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION.  Depreciation and Amortization
increased for the three months ended March 31, 1998 to $1.1 million from
$0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 1997, primarily due to
depreciation on additional assets related to the new market build-out and
additional infrastructure in existing markets.

     OPERATING LOSSES.    Operating losses incurred by the Company were
$6.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 1998, as compared to $6.5
million for the three months ended March 31, 1997, for the reasons
discussed above.

     INTEREST EXPENSE.  Interest expense was $3.5 million for the three
months ended March 31, 1998 and was primarily related to the high yield
bonds.

     NET LOSS.  For the reasons discussed above, partially offset by
interest income of approximately $1.0 million, net loss increased to $9.0
million for the three months ended March 31, 1998 from $6.3 million for
three months ended March 31, 1997.  No tax benefit has been recognized for
any period due to the uncertainty of net operating loss carry-forward
utilization.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Capital expenditures were $2.7 million for the three months ended
March 31, 1998, primarily for the build-out of the Company's networks in
new markets.  The Company currently expects that its aggregate capital
expenditures (excluding the acquisition of spectrum rights) will be $21
million for both 1998 and 1999 combined.  These capital expenditures will
consist primarily of costs associated with the opening of new markets in
1998.  In addition, the Company's capital expenditure plans include network

design and development, the maintenance of existing markets, supporting the
Company's rental program, and other capital improvements. 

     The Company received 16,800 VLU's and 4,350 messaging units valued at
approximately $3.89 million during the first quarter of 1998.  The Company
established a delivery schedule of VLU's according to projections of both
commercial and consumer unit sales.  The consumer business did not
materialize in the first quarter creating an increase in the VLU inventory.

The delivery schedule has been adjusted to allow for a reduction of the
inventory to a proper level going forward.

<PAGE 16>


     At March 31, 1998, the Company was in violation of covenants under its
revolving credit facilities (the "Revolvers") with Banque Paribas and Fleet
National Bank.  The covenants were established based on projections that
included consumer unit sales that did not materialize.  The covenants were
waived at March 31, 1998 and the Company had made no draws against the
revolvers through that date.  The Company and the banks are redefining the
covenants for the facilities.

INFLATION

     The Company believes that to date inflation has not had a material
effect on its results of operations.  Although inflation may in the future
effect the cost of VLU and messaging units sold by the Company, the Company
expects that technology and engineering improvements are likely to offset
any foreseeable cost increases.
