Business Description

LoJack Corporation was organized as a Massachusetts corporation in 1978. The Company is a provider of technology products and services for the tracking and recovery of valuable mobile assets and people at risk of wandering, or people at risk. It develops and markets a variety of products designed to track and recover stolen vehicles, construction equipment, motorcycles, cargo, people at risk and hazardous materials. The LoJack Stolen Vehicle Recovery System, or the LoJack System, is based on radio frequency, or RF, technology. The Company has three separately reported business segments: North America, International and All Other. The Company's North America segment is comprised of its domestic operation, which sells products that operate in all or a portion of 28 states and the District of Columbia in the United States, as well as Boomerang, a provider of stolen vehicle recovery products in Canada. The Company's International segment sells products, licenses or owns and operates LoJack proprietary vehicle recovery technology in 32 countries and territories throughout Europe, Asia, Africa and Latin America and through its wholly owned subsidiary in Italy, LoJack Italia, SRL, or LoJack Italia. The Company's All Other segment includes LoJack SafetyNet and SC-Integrity, Inc., or SCI, which are providers of technology for the tracking and rescue or recovery of people at risk and of valuable cargo and business information, respectively. In the United States, the LoJack System is comprised of a Registration System, which it maintains and operates; a Sector Activation System, or SAS, and Vehicle Tracking Units, collectively the Law Enforcement Components, each operated by law enforcement officials; and a LoJack Unit, which is installed in customer's vehicles. The LoJack System is designed to be integrated with existing law enforcement computer systems and telecommunication systems and procedures. If a vehicle equipped with a LoJack Unit is stolen, its owner reports the theft to the local police department. If the theft is reported in a jurisdiction where the LoJack System is operational, a unique radio signal is automatically transmitted to the LoJack Unit in the stolen vehicle, activating its tracking signal. The Vehicle Tracking Unit, installed in police patrol cars and aircraft throughout the coverage areas, is used to lead law enforcement officers to the stolen vehicle using direction-finding technology to locate the source of the tracking signal emitted from the LoJack Unit in the stolen vehicle. The Boomerang System is based on RF and cellular technology and uses it's internally developed tracking devices and the wireless network of a major Canadian telecommunications company for locating and tracking stolen assets. LoJack Early Warning, sold as an optional component of the LoJack System, provides early notification to a vehicle or motorcycle owner in the event of operation by an unauthorized user.
