FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

                    CalAmp to Record Non-Cash Impairment Charge

            FY 2008 Third Quarter Adjusted Basis Income Expected to
              Beat Prior Guidance; Revenues Within Prior Guidance


OXNARD, Calif., January 10, 2008--CalAmp Corp. (NASDAQ: CAMP), a leading
provider of wireless products, services and solutions, today filed with the
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for a five day extension to file its
Form 10-Q for its fiscal 2008 third quarter ended December 1, 2007.   In
today's filing the Company reported that as a result of a significant
decrease in recent business with a key Direct Broadcast Satellite (DBS)
customer due to a product performance issue as previously disclosed, coupled
with the recent substantial decline in the Company's market capitalization,
the Company engaged an independent valuation specialist to conduct an interim
goodwill impairment analysis as of December 1, 2007, the end of its fiscal
third quarter, in accordance with the applicable accounting rules.  This
analysis indicated that the Company's goodwill has been impaired,
notwithstanding the fact that the Company entered into a settlement agreement
with this key DBS customer on December 14, 2007.  Based on this analysis, the
Company expects to record a non-cash impairment charge in the range of $64
million to $68 million for the quarter ended December 1, 2007, which net of
tax represents a charge in the range of $2.38 to $2.48 per diluted share.

The Company also expects to report fiscal 2008 third quarter revenues of
$32.1 million, which is within its previously reported guidance range.  In
addition, fiscal 2008 third quarter Adjusted Basis income (loss) from
continuing operations is expected to be approximately breakeven, compared to
the previously reported guidance range of $(0.01) to $(0.05) loss per diluted
share.  Adjusted Basis income (loss) from continuing operations excludes the
impact of amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense
and the aforementioned impairment charge, each net of tax where applicable.

CalAmp will release final results for the Company's fiscal 2008 third quarter
after close of market on January 15, 2008, as previously announced. The
Company will discuss its third quarter financial results and current business
status during its quarterly conference call to be held on January 15, 2008,
at 1:30 p.m. Pacific Time.  A live audio webcast of the quarterly 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.
