Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the &ldquo;Exchange Act&rdquo;), or incorporated by reference in any filing under

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&ldquo;Though the markets we serve remain uncertain, we expect
the improved earnings on a minimal sales increase in 2013 to result largely from the cost actions implemented in 2012 and the continuous
operating improvements we are driving in all of our operations,&rdquo; said John C. Corey, President and Chief Executive Officer.
&ldquo;We expect our sales and earnings cadence to be stronger in the latter half of 2013 as our major markets improve. We also
expect our first-half earnings performance in 2013 to exceed our first-half earnings performance in 2012, though on a lower sales
level. We remain cautiously optimistic about our markets and enthusiastic about our ability to deliver improved earnings performance
and strong cash flow. Our long-term growth opportunities remain intact as we have the right strategy, people and investments in
place to support our plans for future growth and are positive about 2013 financial and operational results.&rdquo;<BR>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&ldquo;We finished 2012 with strong cash flow and we have exceeded
our debt reduction targets. We finished the year generating approximately $49.3 million in free cash flow (cash flow from operations
less capital expenditures) and our debt reduction in 2012 was approximately $65.7 million; $38.0 million from our asset-based lending
facility in the U.S. and the remaining $27.7 million primarily from PST debt,&rdquo; Corey said.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&ldquo;We continued to see improvement in the fourth quarter
compared with the second and third quarters. We currently estimate fourth-quarter sales to approximate $224.0 million and earnings
per share to be in the range of $0.10 to $0.14 per diluted share, which are below our expectations and our previously published
guidance, due primarily to a slower recovery in the Brazilian market than anticipated,&rdquo; Corey noted. &ldquo;The Company&rsquo;s
margins were also affected by lower-than-expected sales in its core businesses (Electronics and Control Devices segments), primarily
in its European operations, as European OEMs extended their holiday shutdown longer than we expected, but both gross margin and
operating margin continued to improve in the fourth quarter compared with the second and third quarters.&rdquo;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Corey added, &ldquo;We continued to see improvement in PST&rsquo;s
sales and earnings in the fourth quarter. Sales increased by about 6% over the third quarter but were affected by continued weakness
in GDP growth in Brazil, which was in the 1.0% to 1.2% range. However, due to the lower-than-expected sales and the corresponding
drop in operating income at PST, most of the variance from our consolidated guidance was attributed to our PST operation. We believe
that with the cost initiatives that have been implemented and an improving Brazilian market, PST will improve at the operating
income line with 2013 sales being equal to or down compared with 2012. Though PST has experienced significant market headwinds
this year, we are pleased with PST&rsquo;s response to the changing economic conditions and look forward to improved financial
performance as the Brazilian economy improves and new product sales in cargo tracking and home security systems are introduced.
We will elaborate further on our fourth-quarter results during our conference call scheduled for March 1, 2013.&rdquo;</P>
