FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


         CalAmp Announces Preliminary Fiscal 2008 Fourth Quarter Results


OXNARD, Calif., April 22, 2008--CalAmp Corp. (Nasdaq: CAMP), a leading
provider of wireless products, services and solutions, today announced
preliminary financial results for its fiscal 2008 fourth quarter ended
February 28, 2008.

The Company expects to report consolidated revenues of approximately $29.8
million for the fourth quarter, which is within the previously provided
revenues guidance range of $29 to $33 million.  The Company also expects to
report a fourth quarter GAAP-basis loss from continuing operations in the
range of ($0.35) to ($0.39) per diluted share compared to earlier guidance of
($0.06) to ($0.10).  These preliminary fourth quarter financial results are
subject to final adjustments.

The GAAP basis loss from continuing operations was impacted primarily by a
fourth quarter non-cash goodwill impairment charge of approximately $5.5
million pretax that resulted from the completion of the second phase of the
impairment test.  The Company had initiated an impairment test in the third
quarter, but had not finalized its calculations of the actual charge.  The
fourth quarter also includes the previously reported pretax charge of $1.0
million for expenses associated with the departure of the Company's former
CEO.

The Adjusted Basis (non-GAAP) loss from continuing operations for the fourth
quarter is expected to be ($0.09) to ($0.12) per diluted share compared to
previous guidance of ($0.01) to ($0.05).   The Adjusted Basis (non-GAAP) loss
from continuing operations excludes net of tax amounts for the preliminary
fourth quarter goodwill impairment charge ($5,062,000), amortization of
intangible assets ($944,000) and stock-based compensation ($465,000).

Commenting on the Company's preliminary fourth quarter results, Rick Gold,
CalAmp's President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "Despite the fact that
the preliminary fourth quarter loss was greater than our original
projections, our revenue was within the guidance range and we generated
positive operating cash flow during the quarter.  We ended the fourth quarter
with a cash balance of $6.6 million, which is an increase of $1.5 million on
a sequential quarter basis.  We also finalized an amendment of our credit
agreement with our lenders. As a result we can now move forward into Fiscal
2009 with enhanced financial flexibility as we execute our strategy to return
CalAmp to profitability."

CalAmp expects to release final results for the Company's fiscal 2008 full
year and fourth quarter after close of market on May 8, 2008.
