1.       BUSINESS OVERVIEW

                  The Company develops and implements mobile communications
         solutions, including integrated voice, data and position location
         services, to meet the needs of its customers. The initial application
         for the Company's wireless enhanced services has been developed for,
         and is marketed and sold to, companies which operate in the long-haul
         trucking market. The Company provides long-haul trucking companies
         with a comprehensive package of mobile communications and management
         control services at low, fixed per minute rates, thereby enabling its
         trucking customers to effectively monitor the operations and improve
         the performance of their fleets. The Company is currently developing
         additional applications for its network to expand the range of trucking
         companies that utilize its services and to address the needs of the
         automotive and other markets. Among other things, the Company entered
         into a strategic business alliance with Prince Corporation, a
         subsidiary of Johnson Controls, Inc. and a leading supplier of
         automotive interior systems and components, to develop and provide an
         automobile safety and security service, the "AutoLink" service, to
         motorists in the United States and Canada. The AutoLink service is
         planned to be available on a commercial basis beginning in late 1998.

         Through 1997, the Company derived all of its revenues from the
         long-haul trucking market from sales and installation of Mobile
         Communication Units ("mobile units") and charges for its services. In
         early 1998, the Company commenced marketing a mobile communication
         solution applicable to broader segments of the trucking market.

2.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION

                  The unaudited consolidated financial statements presented
         herein have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form
         10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include
         all footnote disclosures required by generally accepted accounting
         principles. These consolidated financial statements should be read in
         conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial
         statements for the year ended December 31, 1997. The accompanying
         consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (all of which
         are of a normal recurring nature) which are, in the opinion of
         management, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's
         financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the
         interim periods. The results for any interim period are not necessarily
         indicative of the results for the entire year.

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

COMPARABILITY

         During 1997, the Company's service revenues were generated from mobile
units served by either a switching complex operated by AT&T (the " AT&T
Complex") or by the Company's Network Services Center ("NSC"). During the three
months ended March 31, 1997, the majority of the installed base of mobile units
was served by the AT&T Complex. During the three months ended March 31, 1998,
the entire installed base of mobile units was served by the NSC. Historically,
the amount of service revenue and related expense recognized by the Company
varied significantly based upon whether a particular customer received service
through the AT&T Complex or the NSC. In the case of customers served through the
AT&T Complex, service charges were collected by AT&T. The Company recognized as
revenue the portion of service charges received from AT&T, with the remainder of
the service charges retained by AT&T as compensation for its cost of providing
services. In the case of customers served by the NSC, the entire amount of the
service charges to customers is recognized by the Company as revenue and
additional operating and service expenses are borne by the Company. The
operating expenses associated with the NSC are reflected in the Company's
financial statements as general and administrative expenses (customer billing,
credit, and collection activities), network services center (other third party
and internal operating expenses) and depreciation. Because of the difference in
the economic relationships described above, as a greater proportion of customers
have been served by the NSC, the Company recognized increased service revenues,
which were partially offset by additional operating and service expenses.
Because the operating expenses associated with the NSC include certain fixed
costs, such operating expenses are not expected to increase proportionately with
the number of customers added.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

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

         Total revenues increased from $10.9 million in 1997 to $15.7 million in
1998. Product revenues decreased from $5.8 million in 1997 to $4.6 million in
1998 primarily as a result of a 25.0% decrease in mobile units sold. Product
shipments in 1998 were less than the Company's expectations. Service revenues
increased to $11.1 million in 1998 as compared to $5.1 million in 1997 due to
the combined effect of (i) the increased installed base of mobile units and (ii)
increased service revenues per mobile unit. Average monthly revenue per mobile
unit in 1998 increased to $104.64 from $78.20 in 1997 since the entire installed
base of mobile units was served through the NSC in 1998, as compared to the
majority of the installed base being served through the AT&T Complex in 1997.

         Cost of revenues in 1998 was $12.5 million compared to $8.6 million in
1997. This is primarily as a result of the increased number of mobile units sold
and in service.

         Product gross profit margin was 19.0% in 1998 compared to 14.3% in
1997. The improvement in product gross profit margin is primarily attributable
to a lower average cost per mobile unit sold and a lower provision for warranty
costs. The lower average cost per mobile unit is attributable to the combined
effect of a larger percentage of mobile unit sales in 1998 being lower cost
refurbished units and manufacturing and procurement economies reducing the cost
of new units.

         Service gross profit margin was 21.5% in 1998 compared to 28.7% in
1997. The Company incurs certain costs for airtime usage that are not billable
to customers under current billing practices. Billing data received subsequent
to March 31, 1997 indicated that the portion of airtime usage not billable to
customers was higher than previously believed by the Company and used as the
basis for recording accounting estimates. An increase in cost of cellular
airtime paid for by the Company in relation to airtime billable to customers
caused the decrease in service gross profit margin. The Company is evaluating
the factors underlying the increase in cellular airtime costs to identify and
analyze technical adjustments and modifications that may enable it to




                                        7
<PAGE>   10

improve its service gross profit margin.

         General and administrative expenses decreased from $3.6 million in 1997
to $3.3 million in 1998. This decrease is because during the 1997 period, the
Company recorded a $1 million charge to provide for loss on the sales-type lease
receivable due from a customer as a result of the customer's early termination
of the lease. Partially offsetting this decrease are increased expenses
reflecting (i) costs associated with billing, credit and collection activities
for the NSC, (ii) growth in the number of employees and salary increases, and
(iii) consulting fees in connection with evaluation of the Company's information
systems and efforts to improve service gross profit margin.

         Customer service expenses increased to $3.4 million in 1998 compared to
$2.2 million in 1997, attributable to the increasing emphasis on improving
response to customer needs, improvement in the technical operations of the
network and growth in the number of mobile units shipped and in service.

         Sales and marketing expenses increased to $2.2 million in 1998
compared to $2.1 million in 1997. This increase is composed of a $0.3 million
increase in advertising expense as a result of AutoLink and the recently
introduced Series 3000 mobile unit and Platinum service, offset by a $0.2
million decrease in payroll related expenditures as a result of a decrease in
the number of sales and marketing employees.

         Engineering expenses increased to $1.4 million in 1998 compared to $1.1
million in 1997. This increase is primarily attributable to increases in payroll
related costs as a result of an increase in the number of engineering personnel
devoted to continuation engineering and new product development, and other costs
specifically related to the development and release of the AutoLink service.

         Depreciation and amortization expense increased to $1.1 million in 1998
compared to $0.5 million in 1997 reflecting the additional depreciation and
amortization as a result of additions to network, equipment and capitalized
software during 1997.

         Interest income was $1.3 million in 1998 compared to $0.2 million in
1997. Interest expense was $4.4 million in 1998 compared to zero in 1997. The
change in these relationships reflects the higher average outstanding balances
during 1998 in cash and cash equivalents, temporary investments and notes
payable as a result of the issuance of the Senior Notes in September,1997.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

          Net cash consumed by operating activities during the three months
ended March 31, 1998 was $14.9 million due primarily to a $11.6 million loss
from operations, a temporary increase in inventory quantities of complete
systems as a result of sales not meeting expectations, and a decrease in accrued
interest payable as a result of the semi-annual interest payment on the Senior
Notes. The Company's cash, cash equivalents and temporary investments balance at
March 31, 1998 was $50.6 million. Based on the Company's projected operating
results, the Company believes its existing capital resources will be sufficient
to fund its currently anticipated operating needs and capital expenditure
requirements for at least the next twelve months. However, the Company's future
cash flow from operations and operating requirements may vary depending on a
number of factors, including the rate of installation of mobile units, the level
of competition, success of new products, general economic conditions and other
factors beyond the Company's control.
