LOJACK CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.   The accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes do not include
     all of the disclosures made in the Company's Annual Report to Stockholders,
     which should be read in conjunction with these statements. Certain fiscal
     1998 amounts have been reclassified to conform to the fiscal 1999
     presentation. In the opinion of the Company, the statements include all
     adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the quarterly results and
     any and all such adjustments were of a normal recurring nature.
 
2.   The results of operations for the three and nine months ended November 30,
     1998 and 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected
     for the full year.

3.   Supplemental cash flow information:

     Cash paid for interest for the nine months ended November 30, 1998 and 1997
     was $202,000 and $140,000, respectively. Cash paid for income taxes for the
     nine months ended November 30, 1998 and 1997 was $5,460,000 and $3,524,000,
     respectively. For the nine months ended November 30, 1998 and 1997 the
     Company incurred capital lease obligations of $2,600,000 and $1,009,000,
     respectively.
 
4.   Earnings per share:

     In fiscal 1998 the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial
     Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings per Share." All prior
     periods have been restated to conform to the provisions of SFAS No. 128.
     Basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of
     common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share
     reflects the effect of the Company's outstanding options (using the
     treasury stock method), except where such options would be antidilutive.
 
5.   Marketable Securities:

     In March 1998 the Company exercised an option to purchase 292,507 common
     shares of its United Kingdom licensee, Tracker Network, UK Ltd. for an
     aggregate exercise price of $1,259,000. In April 1998 the Company sold
     150,000 of these shares and recognized a pre-tax gain of approximately
     $1,100,000. The remaining 142,507 shares of the investment are classified
     as an available-for-sale security in accordance with SFAS No. 115 in the
     Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet with a fair value of approximately
     $1,316,000 as of November 30, 1998. The unrealized gain of $428,000 (net of
     taxes of $274,000) is reported in accumulated other comprehensive income
     under stockholders' equity at November 30, 1998.

6.   Comprehensive Income:

     Effective March 1, 1998, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No.
     130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income." Currently, in addition to net 
     income, the only item which would be included in comprehensive income is
     unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale securities. Unrealized
     gains or losses on available-for-sale securities (net of taxes) for the
     three and nine months ended November 30, 1998 were an unrealized loss of
     $61,000 and an unrealized gain of $428,000, respectively. Comprehensive
     income for the three months ended November 30, 1998 and 1997 totaled
     $2,218,000 and $2,911,000, respectively. Comprehensive income for the nine
     months ended November 30, 1998 and 1997 totaled approximately $8,993,000
     and $7,689,000, respectively.

Management Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial
Condition

Three and nine months ended November 30, 1998 ("fiscal 1999")
 versus three and nine months ended November 30, 1997 ("fiscal 1998")

Results of Operations


Revenues for the three and nine months ended November 30, 1998 increased by
$1,553,000 and $6,324,000, or 8% and 11%, respectively to $20,864,000 and
$62,938,000, from $19,311,000 and $56,614,000, respectively, for the same
periods a year earlier.

Revenues from domestic markets increased by $2,920,000 and $9,073,000, or 19%
and 20%, for the three and nine months ended November 30, 1998, respectively, to
$18,383,000 and $55,312,000, from $15,463,000 and $46,239,000, respectively, for
the same periods a year earlier. The increase in domestic revenues resulted
primarily from an increase in the number of LoJack Units sold of 22% and 24% for
the three and nine months ended November 30, 1998, respectively, as compared to
the same periods a year earlier, offset partially by decreases in the
penetration of sales of low margin optional alarm products.

International revenues decreased by $1,367,000 and $2,749,000, or 36% and 26%
for the three and nine months ended November 30, 1998 to $2,481,000 and
$7,626,000, from $3,848,000 and $10,375,000, respectively, for the same periods
last year. The decreases in international revenues for the three months ended
November 30, 1998 resulted from a decrease in revenues from non-recurring
license fees and system components revenues of $1,749,000 offset by an increase
in revenues from sales of and royalties on the international version of the
LoJack Unit and related products of $381,000. For the nine months ended 
November 30, 1998 the decrease in revenues of $2,749,000 was the result of a
decrease in non-recurring license fees and system components revenues of
$1,764,000, and a decrease in sales of and royalties on the international
version of the LoJack Unit and related products of $985,000. The decrease in
sales of the international version of the LoJack Unit for the nine months ended
November 30, 1998 is related to the effect on certain licensees of the economic
crises in certain areas of the world and a decrease in sales to the licensee in
Argentina as the result of financial difficulties, offset partially by increased
sales to other existing licensees in both South America and Africa.

Cost of goods sold for the three months ended November 30, 1998 increased to 46%
from 41% a year earlier. Cost of goods sold for the nine months ended 
November 30, 1998 remained consistent at 44% from a year earlier. Domestically,
cost of goods sold for the three months ended November 30, 1998 and 1997 was 45%
and 44%, respectively, of related revenues. For the nine months ended November
30, 1998 cost of goods sold remained the same at 44% for the same period a year
earlier. Cost of goods sold for the three months ended November 30, 1998
increased primarily as the result of start-up costs in Arizona and Houston
markets. International cost of goods sold increased to 55% and 49% for the three
and nine months ended November 30, 1998 from 32% and 42%, respectively, from a
year earlier primarily as the result of the decrease in non-recurring revenues
from license fees and system components sales during the period, which have a
higher margin than sales of LoJack Units and related products.

                                      (6)

Systems costs and research and development increased by $32,000 and $51,000 for
the three and nine months ended November 30, 1998, respectively to $304,000 and
$921,000 from $272,000 and $870,000 for the same periods a year earlier. Systems
costs increased by $7,000 and $92,000 for the three and nine months ended
November 30, 1998, respectively, as compared with the same periods a year
earlier primarily as the result of the start-up of new markets and maintenance
costs in certain existing markets. Research and development expense increased by
$25,000 for the three months ended November 30, 1998 and decreased by $41,000 
for the nine months ended November 30, 1998 as compared with the same periods a
year earlier primarily as the result of timing of certain work related to the
redesign of the LoJack Unit as well as costs related to new product development.
 
Marketing expense increased by $616,000 and $1,491,000 for the three and nine
months ended November 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively to $4,773,000 and
$13,826,000 from $4,157,000 and $12,335,000 for the same periods a year earlier.
These increases were primarily related to increases in marketing salaries and
benefits, advertising, and promotional spending related to expansion to new
markets and increased domestic sales, as well as marketing expenses related to
sales efforts in the fleet and commercial market.

General and administrative expense increased by $309,000 and $1,072,000 for the
three and nine months ended November 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively to
$2,119,000 and $6,344,000, from $1,810,000 and $5,272,000 for the same periods a
year earlier. These increases were the result of increases in administrative
salaries and benefits, and other general and overhead expenses related to the
increase in the domestic business and market expansion, as well as certain
professional fees related to ongoing business and international markets.

Depreciation and amortization increased by $ 9,000 and $17,000 for the three and
nine months ended November 30, 1998, respectively, to $453,000 and $1,265,000,
from $444,000 and $1,248,000 for the same periods a year earlier, primarily as
the result of depreciation expense on LoJack System components in new markets.

Interest income decreased by $72,000 and $294,000 for the three and nine months
ended November 30, 1998, respectively, to $118,000 and $325,000, from $190,000
and $619,000 for the same periods a year earlier. These decreases were the
result of a decrease in the average cash balances available for investment
during the periods.

Interest expense increased by $36,000 and $62,000 for the three and nine months
ended November 30, 1998, respectively, to $87,000 and $202,000, from $51,000 and
$140,000 for the same periods a year earlier as the result of interest expense
on capital leases of installation vehicles.

Gain on sale of fixed assets increased by $30,000 and $70,000 for the three and
nine months ended November 30, 1998, respectively, to $45,000 and $153,000, from
$15,000 and $83,000 for the same periods a year earlier, due to an increase in
the number of fully depreciated installation vehicles sold during the periods in
the normal course of business.

Gain on sale of marketable securities for the nine months ended 
November 30, 1998 of $1,100,000 was the result of the sale of a portion of the
company's stock in its United Kingdom licensee which had been acquired pursuant
to an option agreement in the related license agreement.
 
The provision for income taxes decreased by $404,000 for the three months ended
November 30, 1998, to $1,460,000 from $1,864,000 for the same period a year
earlier as the result of the decrease in the Company's taxable income during the
period. Provision for income taxes increased $570,000 for the nine months ended
November 30, 1998, to $5,480,000 from $4,910,000 for the same period a year
earlier. The Company's effective tax rate remained at 39% during both periods.

As a result of the foregoing, net income decreased by $632,000 for the three
months ended November 30, 1998, to $2,279,000, from $2,911,000 for the same
period a year earlier. Net income for the nine months ended November 30, 1998
increased by $876,000, to $8,565,000 from $7,689,000 for the same period a year
earlier.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

In the nine months ended November 30, 1998 cash and equivalents increased by
$407,000. Cash flow from operations was $9,191,000, cash flow used for investing
activities was $241,000 and cash flow used for financing purposes was
$8,543,000. Cash flow from operations included net income of $8,565,000, non-
cash additions to net income of $2,472,000, less $1,100,000 related to the sale
of a marketable security, $243,000 of deferred taxes and decreases from changes
in assets and liabilities of $502,000. The decrease in cash flow from changes in
assets and liabilities includes an increase in accounts receivable of $1,077,000
and inventories of $682,000 both of which were primarily related to the increase
in domestic revenues and timing of certain international shipments, an increase
in prepaid expenses of $126,000 as a result of insurance policy renewals, an
increase in prepaid income taxes of $619,000 and an increase in other assets of
$11,000. The decrease in accounts payable of $146,000 is primarily related to
the timing of payment on certain media expenses, and an inventory supplier.
These decreases in cash flow were offset partially by a return of a vendor 
deposit of $1,432,000 and increases in accrued and other liabilities of
$727,000. 

Cash flows used for investing activities included expenditures for property and
equipment (exclusive of additions under capital leases of $2,600,000) for the
nine months ended November 30, 1998 of $728,000. Additionally, the Company
purchased 292,507 common shares of its United Kingdom licensee for $1,259,000
under terms of an option agreement in the related license agreement. A
subsequent sale of 150,000 of these shares netted proceeds to the Company of
$1,745,000.

Cash flows used for financing activities included the repurchase of 712,600
shares of the Company's common stock during the nine months ended 
November 30, 1998 for $7,913,000. Total cumulative common shares repurchased
under the Company's stock repurchase program were 4,684,100 as of November 30,
1998. The Company intends to continue to repurchase shares of its common stock
in open market transactions, from time to time, depending upon the price of the
stock. As of November 30, 1998 there are 515,900 additional common shares
authorized for repurchase under the Company's existing repurchase program. In
addition, the Company repaid capital lease obligations of $1,100,000 for nine
months ended November 30, 1998.

As of November 30, 1998 the Company had working capital of $15,832,000 compared
to $15,486,000 at February 28, 1998. The Company believes that it can meet its
anticipated capital and operating requirements for the remainder of fiscal 1999
using existing working capital, cash flow from operations, and if necessary, the
Company's $7,500,000 line of credit, which was unused as of November 30, 1998.
 
The Company presently is pursuing expansion efforts in several additional
domestic jurisdictions. The Company expects that, pending receipt of necessary
governmental approvals, certain potential expansion markets may become
operational during fiscal 2000. The Company plans to fund these future 
expansions as well as other 1999 capital expenditures using existing working
capital, cash flow from operations, and/or the line of credit. The Company
expects that it will spend approximately $500,000 (excluding assets purchased
under capital lease agreements) during the remainder of fiscal 1999.

The Company's expansion to additional international markets is achieved through
licensing agreements and has not in the past required capital investment on the
part of the Company. The Company currently has no formal plans to change this
practice.

The Company is also continuing to explore possible investment opportunities,
including, but not limited to, possible acquisitions of, or investments in,
other companies.


New Accounting Pronouncements
Effective January 1, 1998, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 130,
"Reporting Comprehensive Income" and SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments
of an Enterprise and Related Information." The adoption of SFAS No. 130 had no
effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Company, but
resulted in the disclosure of comprehensive income of approximately $2,218,000
and $8,993,000 for the three and nine months ended November 30, 1998,
respectively, which was derived from net income and unrealized gains on
available-for-sale marketable securities. With the adoption of SFAS No. 131 and
as permitted by the pronouncement, the Company will provide information about
its operating segments, as determined, in the annual financial statements, and
will begin providing such information on an interim basis for the first quarter
of fiscal 2000.
 
Year 2000
The Company has conducted a review of its computer systems to identify those
areas that could be affected by the "Year 2000" issue and is developing an
implementation plan to resolve the issue. The Company is currently implementing
new accounting and custom software as well as new computer network systems which
have been designed by the vendors to properly process transactions which could
be impacted by the "Year 2000" problem. The Company believes that with certain
modifications to LoJack System components, the "Year 2000" problem will not pose
significant operational problems and costs to complete this process are not
anticipated to be material to its financial position or results of operations in
any given year.

Cautionary Statements
The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 contains certain safe
harbors regarding forward-looking statements. From time to time, information
provided by the Company or statements made by its employees may contain
"forward-looking" information which involve risks and uncertainties. Any
statements in this report that are not statements of historical fact are
forward-looking statements (including, but not limited to, statements concerning
characteristics

                                      (9)
<PAGE>
 
and growth of the Company's objectives and plans for future operations and the
Company's expected liquidity and capital resources). Such forward-looking
statements are based on a number of assumptions and involve a number of known
and unknown risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results expressed
or implied in such forward looking statements to differ from those projected.
Factors that may cause such differences include, but are not limited to: the
continued and future acceptance of the Company's products and services; the rate
of growth in the industries of the Company's customers; the presence of
competitors with greater technical, marketing and financial resources; the
Company's ability to promptly and effectively respond to technological change to
meet evolving customer needs; capacity and supply constraints or difficulties;
and the Company's ability to successfully integrate new operations, prospects
for international expansion and the timing of commencement of operations of new 
licensees, and general and economic conditions in domestic and foreign markets.
For a further discussion of these and other significant factors to consider in
connection with forward-looking statements concerning the Company, reference is
made to Exhibit 99 of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal
year ended February 29, 1996.
