FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

  CalAmp Announces Updated Financial Outlook for Fiscal 2008 First Quarter

  Company Provides Details of Corrective Action Plan with Key DBS Customer

       Company Reschedules Fiscal 2008 First Quarter Earnings Release
                      and Conference Call

OXNARD, Calif., July 11, 2007--CalAmp Corp. (NASDAQ: CAMP), a leading
provider of wireless products, today announced updated financial guidance for
the fiscal 2008 first quarter ended May 31, 2007 as a result of recent
developments regarding a previously disclosed product performance issue with
a key Direct Broadcast Satellite (DBS) customer.

As previously disclosed, certain products shipped by CalAmp to a key DBS
customer during calendar years 2004 to 2006 experienced a field performance
issue as a result of the premature deterioration of printed circuit board
(PCB) laminate material provided by another vendor. In addressing this
matter, the DBS customer returned product to CalAmp for corrective action and
put on hold all orders for CalAmp equipment, including newer generation
products, pending the requalification of all products manufactured by CalAmp
for this customer.  CalAmp has generated revenues of approximately $325
million with this customer during the last three fiscal years.

As a result of a meeting with the DBS customer on July 5, 2007, CalAmp
anticipates that the customer will soon requalify the latest generation
product that supports expanded HDTV content delivery.  However, based on this
meeting CalAmp now believes that the corrective action plan for previous
generation products will be significantly more extensive than previously
contemplated.  While it is not possible to fully quantify the ultimate
financial impact on CalAmp of completely satisfying its customer's
requirements pending final resolution of all issues, CalAmp expects to incur
additional expenses of $16 million for which the Company will take a charge
in its fiscal 2008 first quarter.  This charge represents the Company's best
estimate of additional expenses associated with warranty repairs, inventory
modifications and reserving for materials that are expected to be unusable.
The cash impact of this charge is anticipated to occur over the next several
years.

Earlier, during the fiscal 2007 fourth quarter, CalAmp had increased its
accrued warranty costs by $500,000 for this matter.  This amount was
predicated on the customer accepting a planned corrective action procedure
that CalAmp had developed for existing and projected future product returns.
Under this planned corrective action, CalAmp expected that the field
performance issue could be resolved by retuning the circuitry as a lower cost
alternative to replacing certain parts and materials.  The increased reserve
amount that the Company will record in the fiscal 2008 first quarter assumes
that the customer accepts the revised corrective procedure for the previous
generation products that are currently under discussion and that the quantity
of product returns approximates CalAmp's estimate of the most likely return
scenario.  These additional costs and expenses encompass activities such as:

* Extending corrective measures to cover all products returned within three
years of initial shipment that utilize the aforementioned laminate;

* Performing substantial corrective measures on previous generation products
by replacing the PCB material and components; and

* Reserving for materials that are expected to be unusable.

While CalAmp believes that $16 million is the best estimate of the additional
expenses necessary to resolve this matter based on the facts and
circumstances of which the Company is currently aware, no assurances can be
given that the final charges will not materially increase from the current
estimate.

As previously reported CalAmp filed suit against the supplier of the PCB
laminate material that CalAmp believes resulted in the field performance
issues and related first quarter charges.  CalAmp expects to vigorously
pursue all legal options to recover its damages from that supplier.

As a result of this $16 million pre-tax charge, which is $0.41 per share net
of tax, CalAmp now anticipates it will record a net loss for the fiscal 2008
first quarter in the range of ($0.47) to ($0.49) per diluted share.  Adjusted
Basis (Non-GAAP) net loss for the first quarter, which excludes amortization
of intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense and write-off of
acquired research and development costs-each net of tax-is expected to be
($0.40) to ($0.42) per diluted share. In addition, the Company estimates
first quarter consolidated revenues to be $47.4 million, which exceeds the
previous first quarter guidance range of $44 to $47 million.

The first quarter loss that resulted from the $16 million charge has caused
an event of default with respect to the financial covenants under the
Company's bank credit agreement, that will preclude additional borrowing
under the revolving credit facility thereunder until the Company is able to
obtain a waiver from its lenders and/or an amendment of the credit agreement.
The Company has notified its lenders and is in discussions with them to
resolve the issue.  In the near term the Company believes that it has
sufficient liquidity such that the restriction on borrowing under the
revolving credit facility will not adversely affect its operations.  However,
if the lenders are unwilling to agree to a waiver or an amendment or exercise
their rights to accelerate borrowings outstanding under the credit agreement,
the inability to borrow under the revolving credit facility and/or the
acceleration of such indebtedness could materially adversely affect the
Company's financial position and operations, including its ability to fund
its currently anticipated working capital and capital expenditure needs.
Furthermore, because the lenders will have the right to call the loan until
such time as a waiver is obtained, $30 million of debt previously classified
as a long-term liability will need to be reclassified to current liabilities
in the balance sheet as of the end of the fiscal 2008 first quarter.

As a result of the above mentioned developments, the Company plans to file a
notification with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 12b-25 and
will utilize the 5-day extension to file its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended
May 31, 2007.  The new expected filing date is July 17, 2007.  In addition,
the Company has rescheduled its previously announced fiscal 2008 first
quarter earnings press release and conference call.  The press release will
be issued after the close of market on July 17, 2007, followed by a live
audio webcast of its quarterly conference call at 1:30 p.m. Pacific Time.
The conference call can be accessed on the Company's web site,
www.calamp.com.  This link requires listeners to install either RealPlayer or
Windows Media Player to access the event. An online replay of the audio
broadcast will be available on the Company's web site after the completion of
the live call.
