Dear Fellow Shareholders:  

Fiscal  2013  was  a  transformative  year  for  CalAmp.    Both  revenue  and  earnings 
accelerated  during  the  year  based  on  strong  customer  demand  for  our  Wireless 
Datacom  products.    Bottom  line  performance  was  also  benefited  by  improved 
profitability from our Satellite business.  In addition, we made significant progress 
on key strategic initiatives that I believe will further expand our addressable market 
and strengthen our competitive position in fiscal 2014 and beyond.  

Fiscal 2013 consolidated revenue grew 30% year-over-year to $180.6 million, with 
Wireless Datacom revenue increasing 41% to a record $139.5 million and Satellite 
revenue  expanding  modestly  to  $41.1  million.    The  strong  revenue  growth,  along 
with  improving  margins,  boosted  our  profitability  in  fiscal  2013,  with  non-GAAP 
earnings per share doubling compared to the prior year.  In addition, we generated 
operating cash flow of $16.6 million for the year, an increase of $4.2 million or 34% 
compared  to  the  prior  year.    We  also  increased  our  R&D  investments  across  our 
businesses resulting in over two dozen new product introductions and seven patent 
applications in fiscal 2013.    

During  fiscal  2013  we  made  continued  progress  in  improving  our  margin  profile, 
with  consolidated  gross  margins  increasing  to  31.5%,  up  three  percentage  points 
over  the  prior  year  excluding  the  effect  of  a  $3  million  patent  sale  in  fiscal  2012. 
Driving this improvement was the strong growth of our Wireless DataCom segment, 
as  well  as  gross  margin  expansion  within  our  Satellite  segment.  Satellite  gross 
margins  increased  to  16.8%  from  8.6%  in  the  prior  year  as  a  result  of  ongoing 
operating efficiencies and new product introductions.  Going forward, we expect our 
Satellite  segment  will  continue  to  generate  gross  margins  in  the  mid-teens  and 
contribute  meaningfully  to  our  profitability.  We  also  expect  gross  margins  in  our 
Wireless  Datacom  segment  to  trend  higher  as  we  complete  the  integration  of  the 
newly acquired operations of Wireless Matrix, which will enable CalAmp to offer a 
broader range of SaaS-based high-margin turnkey solutions in our core verticals. 

On the geographic front, we significantly expanded the international presence of our 
products  and  services  in  fiscal  2013,  with  18%  of  consolidated  revenues  coming 
from  customers  outside  the  United  States  compared  to  11%  in  fiscal  2012.    We 
continue  to  gain  traction  from  our  international  sales  initiatives  with  particular 
strength  in  Mobile  Resource  Management  (MRM)  product  demand  for  fleet 
management,  asset  tracking  and  stolen  vehicle  recovery  applications.    In  fact, 
international  sales  accounted  for  approximately  30%  of  MRM  revenues  in  fiscal 
2013,  up  from  14%  in  the  prior  year.    During  the  year,  we  were  particularly 
encouraged  with  the  ramp-up  by  customers  in  the  EMEA  region,  as  well  as 
continued growth in Latin America.   

 
 
 
 
 
 
Looking ahead, we remain very encouraged by the number – and potential impact – 
of new and emerging global opportunities.  One such example is  usage-based auto 
insurance, which we believe has the opportunity to generate meaningful growth in 
the near-to-medium term.  The energy sector is also an area of emerging growth for 
CalAmp as evidenced by some important contract wins in fiscal 2013.  In addition, 
during  the  year  we  completed  the  development  phase  of  our  contract  for 
interoperable  Positive  Train  Control,  or  PTC,  wireless  communications  devices  for 
the  Rail  industry,  and  we  expect  follow-on  PTC  production  orders  to  begin  in  the 
latter  part  of  fiscal  2014.    And  finally,  late  in  fiscal  2013  we  completed  a  supply 
agreement with the world’s largest heavy equipment manufacturer.  We expect this 
relationship will generate revenues towards the end of fiscal 2014 and pave the way 
for growth in this market well into the future. 

In  another  foundation-building  step  towards  long-term  sustainable  growth,  we 
acquired  the  operations  of  Wireless  Matrix,  a  leader  in  fleet  tracking  applications 
and  satellite  communications  services.  This  acquisition  positions  CalAmp  as  a 
leading  provider  of  integrated  hardware  and  software  MRM  solutions  within  our 
core  verticals,  enabling  CalAmp  to  offer  a  broader  array  of  higher-margin  turnkey 
solutions.  I  expect  that  the  Wireless  Matrix  acquisition  will  result  in  greater  scale 
with  an  increase  in  applications  subscribers,  leading  to  a  meaningful  increase  in 
recurring  subscription-based  revenues.  I  also  believe  that  this  acquisition  will 
enable  us  to  more  readily  address  opportunities  for  new  applications  with  major 
global enterprise customers.  

In conclusion, I am pleased with our financial and operational performance in fiscal 
2013,  as  well  as  our  progress  on  key  strategic  initiatives.    Our  unique  hardware, 
software and service portfolio, supported by established channel partnerships with 
global  reach,  gives  us  the  leverage  and  scale  to  pursue  increasingly  larger 
opportunities.    We  have  established  a  solid  foundation,  and  we  expect  to  continue 
our transformation and drive profitable growth in the quarters and years ahead.  I 
am extremely grateful for the commitment and dedication of our employees who are 
directly responsible for our past, present and future success. 

Sincerely,  

Michael Burdiek 
President & Chief Executive Officer

ITEM 1.  BUSINESS 

OUR COMPANY 

PART I 

We are a leading provider of wireless communications solutions for a broad array of applications to customers 

globally.  Our business activities are organized into our Wireless DataCom and Satellite business segments. 

WIRELESS DATACOM  

Our  Wireless  DataCom  segment  offers  solutions  to  address  the  markets  for  Machine-to-Machine,  or  M2M, 
communications,  Mobile  Resource  Management,  or  MRM,  applications  and  other  emerging  applications  that  require 
anytime and everywhere connectivity.  Our M2M and MRM solutions enable customers to optimize their operations by 
collecting,  monitoring  and  efficiently  reporting  business-critical  data  and  desired  intelligence  from  high-value  remote 
assets.    Our  extensive  portfolio  of  intelligent  communications  devices,  scalable  cloud  services  platforms,  and  targeted 
software applications streamline otherwise complex M2M or MRM deployments for our customers.  We are focused on 
delivering  solutions globally  in  our  core vertical  markets in  Energy, Government  and Transportation.    In  addition, we 
anticipate  significant  future  opportunities  for  adoption  of  our  M2M  and  MRM  solutions  in  Construction,  Mining  and 
Usage-Based Automobile Insurance vertical markets, as well as other emerging applications in additional markets. 

Our  broad  portfolio  of  wireless  communications  products  includes  asset  tracking  devices,  targeted  telematics 
platforms,  fixed  and  mobile  wireless  gateways  and  full-featured,  multi-mode  wireless  routers.    These  wireless 
networking elements underpin a wide range of proprietary and third party M2M and MRM solutions worldwide and are 
well-suited for applications demanding reliable connectivity.  Our portfolio of M2M and MRM devices has been widely 
deployed with approximately 2 million devices currently in service around the world.  We believe customers select our 
products  based  on  their  performance,  optimized  feature  sets,  configurability,  long-term  support,  reliability  and  value.  
We  believe  that  our  deep  understanding  of  the  needs  and  the  dynamics  of  our  customers  and  their  respective  vertical 
markets and applications are key differentiators for CalAmp. 

In addition to our comprehensive product portfolio, our cloud-based software platforms facilitate  integration of 
legacy and third party applications through simple Application Protocol Interfaces, or APIs, which enable our partners 
and customers to quickly bring full-featured M2M and MRM solutions to market.  By leveraging our cloud-based device 
management  platform,  every  device  can  be  remotely  managed,  configured  and  upgraded  throughout  the  entire 
deployment  lifecycle.    These  solutions  also  easily  integrate  with  wireless  telecommunications  carriers’  network 
management  platforms,  allowing  our  customers  access  to  services  that  are  essential  to  creating  and  supporting  a 
comprehensive end-to-end solution. 

Our  portfolio  of  connected  devices  is  configured  to  report  data  on  a  user-defined  basis  seamlessly  to  new  or 
existing software applications.  We have a proven, scalable and targeted Software-as-a-Service, or SaaS, business and 
core competency.  Our SaaS delivery model for our MRM applications enables rapid, cost-effective deployment of high 
value solutions for our customers and provides an opportunity to incrementally grow our recurring revenues.  Over the 
last several years, we have steadily grown our base of SaaS subscribers.  Our acquisition of the Wireless Matrix business, 
discussed in greater detail below, will further expand our SaaS offerings and is expected to grow this subscriber base and 
recurring revenues. 

The solutions offered through our Wireless DataCom segment address a wide variety of applications across key 
vertical markets.  These markets are typically characterized by large enterprises with significant remote and/or mobile 
assets that perform business-critical tasks and services, are expensive to deploy and operate, and are difficult to manage 
in real time or near real time.  Our solutions enable customers to optimize their operations by collecting, monitoring and 
efficiently reporting business-critical data and desired intelligence from these high-value remote and mobile assets.  We 
believe our solutions benefit our customers in the following ways: 

•  Enabling comprehensive monitoring, control, tracking and management of valuable remote and mobile 
assets.    Our  solutions  provide  reliable  two-way  data  communications  and,  in  many  cases,  leverage 
high-precision GPS technology so customers can reliably locate and efficiently monitor and control the 
performance  of  their  widely  distributed  business  critical  assets.    Representative  applications  include 
asset  tracking,  stolen  vehicle  recovery, high-risk  vehicle finance,  asset security, remote  vehicle  start, 
and various M2M communications that improve our customers’ ability to control their valuable remote 
and mobile assets to achieve enhanced visibility, productivity and efficiency.

• 

Increasing  productivity  and  optimizing  performance  of  mobile  workers.    Commercial  organizations, 
city and county governments, and a wide range of other enterprise customers rely on our products and 
systems to optimize delivery of services by their mobile workforces.  These two-way applications not 
only  enable  key  backend  applications  such  as  tracking,  dispatch  and  route  optimization,  fleet 
diagnostics  and  maintenance,  driver  behavior  monitoring  and  training  and  work-alone  safety 
initiatives, but they also provide mobile workers with real-time access to critical business information, 
enhancing efficiency and enabling new services. 

•  Providing remote monitoring, optimization and automation of critical functions of remote equipment. 
A  number  of  our  customers  rely  on  our  solutions  for  wireless  data  communications  to  and  from 
outlying locations, permitting real-time monitoring, activation and control of remote equipment.  These 
industrial monitoring and control applications include remote measuring of freshwater and wastewater 
flows through pipelines, monitoring pipeline flow for oil and gas transport, automated reading of utility 
meters, and monitoring smart grids, remote internet access and perimeters. 

•  Facilitating  communication  and  coordination  among  emergency  first-responders.    Municipal,  county 
and state governments, public safety agencies and emergency first-responders rely on our solutions for 
public  safety  mobile  communications.    We  design  and  build  multi-network  wireless  systems  that 
permit  first-responder  fire,  police  and  emergency  medical  services  personnel  to  access  data  and 
communicate remotely with colleagues, dispatchers and back-office databases. 

•  Enabling  emerging  applications  in  a  wirelessly  connected  world.    We  are  engaged  in  a  number  of 
initiatives  focused  on  deploying  solutions  that  target  novel  applications  for  an  array  of  customers  in 
vertical  markets  including  Public  Safety,  Insurance  and  the  Rail  industry,  among  others.    Emerging 
applications  of  our  solutions  such  as  Usage-Based  Automobile  Insurance,  Positive  Train  Control,  or 
PTC, and the roll-out of the 4G LTE network for first responders are expected to drive growth in the 
future. 

Wireless Matrix Acquisition  

On March 4, 2013, we completed the acquisition of all the outstanding capital stock of Wireless Matrix USA, Inc. 
(“Wireless  Matrix”).    Under  the  terms  of  the  agreement,  we  acquired  Wireless  Matrix  for  a  cash  payment  of  $52.9 
million, subject to adjustment.  The assets we acquired included cash of approximately $6 million.  

This  strategic  acquisition  is  consistent  with  our  long-term  growth  strategy  and  strengthens  our  position  as  a 
leading provider of integrated wireless communications devices and software solutions for M2M and MRM deployments 
within our core industry vertical markets.  We expect to leverage Wireless Matrix’s mobile workforce management and 
asset  tracking  applications  to  build  upon  our  current  product  offerings  for  customers  in  Energy,  Government  and 
Transportation  vertical  markets.    We  also  believe  an  opportunity  exists  to  expand  our  turnkey  offerings  to  global 
enterprise customers in new vertical markets such as Construction, Agriculture and Mining, among others.  We further 
believe  that  the  Wireless  Matrix  acquisition  will  accelerate  our  development  roadmap  and  enable  us  to  offer  higher 
margin  turnkey  solutions  for  new  and  existing  customers  and  to  further  increase  our  relevance  with  mobile  network 
operators and key channel partners in the global M2M marketplace.  We anticipate that the Wireless Matrix transaction 
will  result  in  a  meaningful  increase  in  our  subscription  and  SaaS-based  revenues  on  both  an  absolute  basis  and  as  a 
percent of total revenues.   

SATELLITE  

Our  Satellite  segment  develops,  manufactures  and  sells  direct-broadcast  satellite  (“DBS”)  outdoor  customer 
premise equipment and whole home video networking devices for digital and high definition satellite television services.  
Our  satellite  products  are  sold  primarily  to  EchoStar,  an  affiliate  of  Dish  Network,  for  incorporation  into  complete 
subscription satellite television systems. 

MANUFACTURING 

Electronic devices, components and made-to-order assemblies used in our products are generally obtained from a 
number of suppliers, although certain components are obtained from sole source suppliers.  Some devices or components 
are standard items while others are manufactured to our specifications by its suppliers.  The Company believes that most 

3

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
raw  materials  are  available  from  alternative  suppliers.    However,  any  significant  interruption  in  the  delivery  of  such 
items, particularly those that are sole source materials or components, could have an adverse effect on the Company's 
operations. 

We outsource printed circuit board assembly to contract manufacturers in the Pacific Rim.  Historically, we have 
performed final assembly and final test of our satellite products and some Wireless DataCom products at our principal 
facility in Oxnard, California.  However, during fiscal 2012, we transitioned our principal satellite products to full turn-
key production by off-shore contractors.   

A  substantial  portion  of  our  products,  components,  and  subassemblies  are  procured  from  foreign  suppliers  and 
contract manufacturers located primarily in Hong Kong and mainland China, Taiwan, and other Pacific Rim countries.  
Any significant shift in U.S. trade policy toward these countries, or a significant downturn in the economic or financial 
condition  of  or  any  political  instability  in  these  countries,  could  cause  disruption  of  the  Company’s  supply  chain  or 
otherwise disrupt the Company’s operations, which could adversely impact the Company’s business. 

ISO 9001 INTERNATIONAL CERTIFICATION 

We became registered to ISO 9001:1994 in 1995.  We upgraded our registration to ISO 9001:2000 in 2003, and 
upgraded  once  again  to  ISO  9001:2008  in  2010.    ISO  9001:2008  is  the  widely  recognized  international  standard  for 
quality  management  in  product  design,  manufacturing,  quality  assurance  and  marketing.    We  believe  that  ISO 
certification is important to our operations because most of our key customers expect their suppliers to have and maintain 
ISO  certification.    Registration  assessments  are  performed  by  Underwriters  Laboratories  Inc.  ("UL")  according  to  the 
ISO 9001:2008 International Standard.  We continually perform internal audits to ensure compliance with this quality 
standard.  In addition, UL performs an annual external Compliance Assessment, with the next assessment scheduled for 
July  2013.    We  have  maintained  our  ISO  certification  through  each  Compliance  Assessment.    Every  three  years,  UL 
performs a full system Recertification Assessment.  The next Recertification Assessment is scheduled for July 2015. 

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT 

Each  of  the  markets  in  which  we  compete  is  characterized  by  rapid  technological  change,  evolving  industry 
standards,  and  new  product  features  to  meet  market  requirements.    During  the  last  three  years,  we  have  focused  our 
research  and  development  resources  primarily  on  wireless  communication  systems  for  utilities,  public  safety  and 
industrial monitoring and controls for mobile and fixed location IP data communication applications, GPS and cellular 
tracking products and services for MRM applications, and satellite DBS products.  We have developed key technology 
platforms  that  can  be  leveraged  across  many  of  our  businesses  and  applications.    These  include  communications 
technology  platforms  based  on  proprietary  licensed  narrowband  UHF  and  VHF  frequency  radios  and  modems, 
standards-based unlicensed broadband wireless IP router/radio modems,  and cellular-network based tracking units.  In 
addition, development resources have been allocated to broadening existing product lines, reducing product costs, and 
improving performance through product redesign efforts. 

Research  and  development  expenses  in  fiscal  years  2013,  2012  and  2011  were  $14,291,000,  $11,328,000,  and 
$11,125,000, respectively.  During this three-year period, our research and development expenses have ranged between 
8% and 10% of annual consolidated revenues.   

SALES AND MARKETING 

Our revenues are derived mainly from customers in the United States, which represented 82%, 89%, and 91% of 

consolidated revenues in fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.   

Our  Wireless  DataCom  segment  sells  its  products  and  services  through  dedicated  direct  and  indirect  sales 
channels with employees distributed across the U.S.  The Wireless DataCom segment’s sales and marketing activities are 
supported internationally with sales personnel in Latin America, Israel and the United Kingdom. 

Our Satellite segment sells its products primarily to Echostar, an affiliate of Dish Network, for incorporation into 
complete  subscription  satellite  television  systems.    The  sales  and  marketing  functions  for  the  Satellite  segment  are 
located at our corporate headquarters in Oxnard, California.

EchoStar serves the North American DBS market.  We believe that the loss of Echostar as a customer could have 

a material adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations.   

COMPETITION  

Our markets are highly competitive.  In addition, if the markets for our products grow, we anticipate increased 
competition  from  new  companies  entering  such  markets,  some  of  whom  may  have  financial  and  technical  resources 
substantially  greater  than  ours.    We  believe  that  competition  in  our  markets  is  based  primarily  on  performance, 
reputation, reliability, responsiveness and price.  Our continued success in these markets will depend in part upon our 
ability  to  continue  to  innovate,  design  quality  products  at  competitive  prices  and  provide  superior  service  to  our 
customers. 

Wireless DataCom  

We  believe  that  the  principal  competitors  for  our  wireless  products  include  Motorola  Solutions,  GE,  GenX, 
Spireon, Novatel Wireless, Xirgo, Sierra Wireless, Silver Spring Networks, Digi International, Trimble Navigation and 
Freewave.  

Satellite   

We  believe  that  the  principal  competitors  for  our  DBS  products  include  Sharp,  Wistron  NeWeb  Corporation, 
Microelectronics Technology, and Global Invacom.  Because we are typically not the sole source supplier of our satellite 
products, we are exposed to ongoing price and margin pressures in this business.   

BACKLOG 

Our products are sold to customers that generally do not enter into long-term purchase agreements, and as a result 
our backlog at any given date is not generally significant in relation to our annual sales.  In addition, because of customer 
order modifications, cancellations, or orders requiring wire transfers or letters of credit from international customers, our 
backlog at any point in time may not be indicative of sales for any future period. 

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY 

At  February  28,  2013,  we  had  19  U.S.  patents  and  11  foreign  patents  in  our  Wireless  DataCom  business.    In 

addition to our awarded patents, we have 12 patent applications in process. 

Trademarks 

CalAmp and Dataradio are federally registered trademarks of the Company. 

EMPLOYEES 

At  February  28,  2013,  we  had  approximately  340  employees  and  approximately  40  contracted  production 
workers.    None  of  our  employees  or  contract  workers  are  represented  by  a  labor  union.    The  contracted  production 
workers are engaged through independent temporary labor agencies.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS 

The following list describes several risk factors which are applicable to our Company: 

The Company is dependent on a significant customer, the loss of which could have a material adverse effect on the 
Company’s future sales and its ability to grow. 

EchoStar accounted for 22% of the Company’s consolidated revenues for fiscal 2013. The loss of EchoStar as a 
customer, a deterioration in its overall business, or a decrease in its volume of sales, could result in decreased sales for us 
and could have a material adverse impact on our ability to grow our business. A substantial decrease or interruption in 
business  from  this  key  customer  could  result  in  write-offs  or  in  the  loss  of  future  business  and  could  have  a  material 
adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations. 

6

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
We do not currently have long-term contracts with customers and our customers may cease purchasing products at 
any time, which could significantly harm our revenues. 

We generally do not have long-term contracts with our customers. As a result, our agreements with our customers 
do not currently provide us with any assurance of future sales. These customers can cease purchasing products from us at 
any time without penalty, they are free to purchase products from our competitors, they may expose us to competitive 
price pressure on each order and they are not required to make minimum purchases. Any of these actions taken by our 
customers could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations. 

Because the markets in which we compete are highly competitive and many of our competitors have greater resources 
than us, we cannot be certain that our products will continue to be accepted in the marketplace or capture increased 
market share. 

The market for our products is intensely competitive and characterized by rapid technological change, evolving 
standards,  short  product  life  cycles,  and  price  erosion.  We  expect  competition  to  intensify  as  our  competitors  expand 
their  product offerings  and  new  competitors  enter  the  market. Given  the  highly  competitive  environment  in  which  we 
operate,  we  cannot  be  sure  that  any  competitive  advantages  currently  enjoyed  by  our  products  will  be  sufficient  to 
establish and sustain our products in the market.  Any increase in price or other competition could result in erosion of our 
market share, to the extent we have obtained market share, and could have a negative impact on our financial condition 
and results of operations.  We cannot provide assurance that we will have the financial resources, technical expertise or 
marketing and support capabilities to compete successfully. 

Information about the Company’s competitors is included in Part I, Item 1 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K 

under the heading "COMPETITION". 

Our business is subject to many factors that could cause our quarterly or annual operating results to fluctuate and 
our stock price to be volatile. 

Our quarterly and annual operating results have fluctuated in the past and may fluctuate significantly in the future 
due to a variety of factors, many of which are outside of our control.  Some of the factors that could affect our quarterly 
or annual operating results include: 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

the timing and amount of, or cancellation or rescheduling of, orders for our products; 

our ability to develop, introduce, ship and support new products and product enhancements and manage product 
transitions; 

announcements, new product introductions and reductions in the price of products offered by our competitors;  

our ability to achieve cost reductions; 

our ability to obtain sufficient supplies of sole or limited source components for our products; 

our ability to achieve and maintain production volumes and quality levels for our products; 

our ability to maintain the volume of products sold and the mix of distribution channels through which they are 
sold; 

the loss of any one of our major customers or a significant reduction in orders from those customers; 

increased competition, particularly from larger, better capitalized competitors; 

fluctuations in demand for our products and services; and 

telecommunications and wireless market conditions specifically and economic conditions generally. 

7

 
 
Due  in  part  to  factors  such  as  the  timing  of  product  release  dates,  purchase  orders  and  product  availability, 
significant volume shipments of products could occur close to the end of a fiscal quarter.  Failure to ship products by the 
end of a quarter may adversely affect operating results.  In the future, our customers may delay delivery schedules or 
cancel  their  orders  without  notice.    Due  to  these  and  other  factors,  our  quarterly  revenue,  expenses  and  results  of 
operations  could  vary  significantly  in  the  future,  and  period-to-period  comparisons  should  not  be  relied  upon  as 
indications of future performance. 

Because some of our components, assemblies and electronics manufacturing services are purchased from sole source 
suppliers  or  require  long  lead  times,  our  business  is  subject  to  unexpected  interruptions,  which  could  cause  our 
operating results to suffer. 

Some of our key components are complex to manufacture and have long lead times.  Also, our DBS products are 
manufactured by a single subcontractor, and an alternative supply source may not be readily available.  In the event of a 
reduction or interruption of supply, or degradation in quality, it could take up to six months to begin receiving adequate 
supplies from alternative suppliers, if any.  As a result, product shipments could be delayed and revenues and results of 
operations  could  suffer.    Furthermore,  if  we  receive  a  smaller  allocation  of  component  parts  than  is  necessary  to 
manufacture products in quantities sufficient to meet customer demand, customers could choose to purchase competing 
products and we could lose market share.  Any of these events could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s 
business, financial condition or results of operations. 

If we do not meet product introduction deadlines, our business could be adversely affected. 

In  the  past,  we  have  experienced  design  and  manufacturing  difficulties  that  have  delayed  the  development, 
introduction  or  marketing  of  new  products  and  enhancements  and  which  caused  us  to  incur  unexpected  expenses.    In 
addition, some of our existing customers have conditioned their future purchases of our products on the addition of new 
product  features.  In  the  past,  we  have  experienced  delays  in  introducing  some  new  product  features.    Furthermore,  in 
order  to  compete  in  some  markets,  we  will  have  to  develop  different  versions  of  existing  products  that  operate  at 
different frequencies and comply with diverse, new or varying governmental regulations in each market.  Our inability to 
develop new products or product features on a timely basis, or the failure of new products or product features to achieve 
market acceptance, could adversely affect our business.   

If demand for our products fluctuates rapidly and unpredictably, it may be difficult to manage the business efficiently, 
which may result in reduced gross margins and profitability. 

Our cost structure is based in part on our expectations for future demand.  Many costs, particularly those relating 
to capital equipment and manufacturing overhead, are relatively fixed.  Rapid and unpredictable shifts in demand for our 
products may make it difficult to plan production capacity and business operations efficiently.  If demand is significantly 
below expectations, we may be unable to rapidly reduce these fixed costs, which can diminish gross margins and cause 
losses.  A sudden downturn may also leave us with excess inventory, which may be rendered obsolete if products evolve 
during  the  downturn  and  demand  shifts  to  newer  products.    Our  ability  to  reduce  costs  and  expenses  may  be  further 
constrained because we must continue to invest in research and development to maintain our competitive position and to 
maintain service and support for our existing customer base. Conversely, in the event of a sudden upturn, we may incur 
significant  costs  to  rapidly  expedite  delivery  of  components,  procure  scarce  components  and  outsource  additional 
manufacturing  processes.    These  costs  could  reduce  our  gross  margins  and  overall  profitability.    Any  of  these  results 
could adversely affect our business. 

Because  we  currently  sell,  and  we  intend  to  grow  the  sales  of,  certain  of  our  products  in  countries  other  than  the 
United  States,  we  are  subject  to  different  regulatory  policies.    We  may  not  be  able  to  develop  products  that  comply 
with the standards of different countries, which could result in our inability to sell our products and, further, we may 
be subject to political, economic, and other conditions affecting such countries, which could result in reduced sales of 
our products and which could adversely affect our business. 

If our sales are to grow in the longer term, we believe we must grow our international business.  Many countries 
require communications equipment used in their country to comply with unique regulations, including safety regulations, 
radio frequency allocation schemes and standards.  If we cannot develop products that work with different standards, we 
will be unable to sell our products in those locations.  If compliance proves to be more expensive or time consuming than 
we  anticipate,  our  business  would  be  adversely  affected.    Some  countries  have  not  completed  their  radio  frequency 
allocation  process  and  therefore  we  do  not  know  the  standards  with  which  we  would  be  required  to  comply.  
Furthermore, standards and regulatory requirements are subject to change.  If we fail to anticipate or comply with these 
new standards, our business and results of operations will be adversely affected. 

8

 
Sales to customers outside the U.S. accounted for 18%, 11% and 9% of CalAmp’s total sales for the fiscal years 
ended  February  28,  2013,  2012  and  2011,  respectively.    Assuming  that  we  continue  to  sell  our  products  to  foreign 
customers,  we  will  be  subject  to  the  political,  economic  and other  conditions  affecting  countries or jurisdictions other 
than the U.S., including in Africa, the Middle East, Europe and Asia.  Any interruption or curtailment of trade between 
the countries in which we operate and our present trading partners, changes in exchange rates, significant shift in U.S. 
trade  policy  toward  these  countries,  or  significant  downturn  in  the  political,  economic  or  financial  condition  of  these 
countries, could cause demand for and sales of our products to decrease, or subject us to increased regulation including 
future import and export restrictions, any of which could adversely affect our business. 

Additionally,  a  substantial  portion of our  products,  components  and  subassemblies  are  currently  procured  from 
foreign  suppliers  located  primarily  in  Hong  Kong,  mainland  China,  Taiwan,  and  other  Pacific  Rim  countries.    Any 
significant  shift  in  U.S.  trade  policy  toward  these  countries  or  a  significant  downturn  in  the  political,  economic  or 
financial condition of these countries could cause disruption of our supply chain or otherwise disrupt operations, which 
could adversely affect our business.   

Disruptions in global credit and financial markets could materially and adversely affect our business and results of 
operations.  

There  is  significant  uncertainty  about  the  stability  of  global  credit  and  financial  markets.    Credit  market 
dislocations, including as a result of the Eurozone concerns, could cause interest rates and the cost of borrowing to rise or 
reduce the availability of credit, which could negatively affect customer demand for our products if they responded to 
such  credit  market  dislocations  by  suspending,  delaying  or  reducing  their  capital  expenditures.    Moreover,  since  we 
generate more than 10% of our revenues outside the United States, fluctuations in foreign currencies can have an impact 
on our results of operations which are expressed in U.S. dollars.  In addition, currency variations can adversely affect 
profit margins on sales of our products in countries outside of the United States and margins on sales of products that 
include components obtained from suppliers located outside of the United States.   

We may not be able to adequately protect our intellectual property, and our competitors may be able to offer similar 
products and services that would harm our competitive position. 

Other  than  in  our  Satellite  products  business,  which  currently  does  not  depend  upon  patented  technology,  our 
ability to succeed in wireless data communications markets may depend, in large part, upon our intellectual property for 
some  of  our  wireless  technologies.  We  currently  rely  primarily  on  patents,  trademark  and  trade  secret  laws, 
confidentiality procedures and contractual provisions to establish and protect our intellectual property. However, these 
mechanisms  provide  us  with  only  limited  protection.    We  currently  hold  30  patents.    As  part  of  our  confidentiality 
procedures,  we  enter  into  non-disclosure  agreements  with  all  employees,  including  officers,  managers  and  engineers.  
Despite these precautions, third parties could copy or otherwise obtain and use our technology without authorization, or 
develop similar technology independently.  Furthermore, effective protection of intellectual property rights is unavailable 
or limited in some foreign countries.  The protection of our intellectual property rights may not provide us with any legal 
remedy should our competitors independently develop similar technology, duplicate our products and services, or design 
around any intellectual property rights we hold. 

We rely on access to third-party patents and intellectual property, and our future results could be materially adversely 
affected if we are unable to secure such access in the future. 

Many of our hardware solutions and services are designed to include third-party intellectual property, and in the 
future we may need to seek or renew licenses relating to such intellectual property. Although we believe that, based on 
past experience and industry practice, such licenses generally can be obtained on reasonable terms, there is no assurance 
that  the  necessary  licenses  would  be  available  on  acceptable  terms  or  at  all.  Some  licenses  we  obtain  may  be 
nonexclusive and, therefore, our competitors may have access to the same technology licensed to us. If we fail to obtain 
a required license or are unable to design around a patent where we do not hold a license, we may be unable to sell some 
of our hardware solutions and services, and there can be no assurance that we would be able to design and incorporate 
alternative technologies, without a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. 

9

 
 
 
 
 
Our competitors have or may obtain patents that could restrict our ability to offer our hardware solutions, software 
and services, or subject us to additional costs, which could impede our ability to offer our hardware solutions, 
software and services and otherwise adversely affect us. We may, from time to time, also be subject to litigation over 
intellectual property rights or other commercial issues. 

Several  of  our  competitors  have  obtained  and  can  be  expected  to  obtain  patents  that  cover  hardware  solutions, 
software and services directly or indirectly related to those offered by us. There can be no assurance that we are aware of 
all  existing  patents  held  by  our  competitors  or  other  third  parties  containing  claims  that  may  pose  a  risk  of  our 
infringement  on  such  claims  by  our  hardware  solutions,  software  and  services.  In  addition,  patent  applications  in  the 
United States may be confidential until a patent is issued and, accordingly, we cannot evaluate the extent to which our 
hardware solutions, software and services may infringe on future patent rights held by others. 

Even with technology that we develop independently, a third party may claim that we are using inventions 
claimed by their patents and may initiate litigation to stop us from engaging in our normal operations and activities, such 
as engineering and development and the sale of any of our hardware solutions, software and services. Furthermore, 
because of technological changes in the M2M industry, current extensive patent coverage, and the rapid issuance of new 
patents, it is possible that certain components of our hardware solutions, software, services, and business methods may 
unknowingly infringe the patents or other intellectual property rights of third parties. From time to time, we have been 
notified that we may be infringing such rights. 

In the highly competitive and technology-dependent telecommunications field in particular, litigation over 
intellectual property rights is a significant business risk, and some third parties are pursuing a litigation strategy with the 
goal of monetizing otherwise unutilized intellectual property portfolios via licensing arrangements entered into under 
threat of continued litigation. Regardless of merit, responding to such litigation can consume significant time and 
expense. In certain cases, we may consider the desirability of entering into such licensing agreements or arrangements, 
although no assurance can be given that these licenses can be obtained on acceptable terms or that litigation will not 
occur. If we are found to be infringing any intellectual property rights, we may be required to pay substantial damages. If 
there is a temporary or permanent injunction prohibiting us from marketing or selling certain hardware solutions, 
software and services or a successful claim of infringement against us requires us to pay royalties to a third party, our 
financial condition and operating results could be materially adversely affected, regardless of whether we can develop 
non-infringing technology. While in management’s opinion we do not have a potential liability for damages or royalties 
from any known current legal proceedings or claims related to the infringement of patent or other intellectual property 
rights that would individually or in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and operating 
results, the results of such potential claims cannot be predicted with certainty.  In any potential matters related to 
infringement of patent or other intellectual property rights of others or should several of these matters be resolved against 
us in the same reporting period, our financial condition and operating results could be materially adversely affected. 

The finite amount of radio frequency spectrum may restrict the growth of the wireless communications industry and 
demand for our products. 

Radio frequencies are required to provide wireless services.  Industry growth has been and may continue to be 
affected  by  the  availability  of  licenses  required  to  use  frequencies  and  related  costs.    The  allocation  of  frequencies  is 
regulated in the United States and other countries throughout the world and limited spectrum space is allocated to the 
various wireless services.  The growth of the wireless communications industry may be affected if adequate frequencies 
are  not  allocated  or,  alternatively,  if  new  technologies  are  not  developed  to  better  utilize  the  frequencies  currently 
allocated for such use. 

We depend to some extent upon wireless networks owned and controlled by others, unproven business models, and 
emerging wireless carrier models to deliver existing services and to grow. 

If  we  do  not  have  continued  access  to  sufficient  capacity  on  reliable  networks,  we  may  be  unable  to  deliver 
services and our sales could decrease.  Our ability to grow and achieve profitability partly depends on our ability to buy 
sufficient capacity on the networks of wireless carriers and on the reliability and security of their systems.  Some of our 
wireless services are delivered using airtime purchased from third parties.  We depend on these third parties to provide 
uninterrupted  service  free  from  errors  or  defects  and  would  not  be  able  to  satisfy  our  customers’  needs  if  such  third 
parties failed to provide the required capacity or needed level of service.  In addition, our expenses would increase and 
profitability could be materially adversely affected if wireless carriers were to significantly increase the prices of their 
services.    Our  existing  agreements  with  the  wireless  carriers  generally  have  one  to  three-year  terms.  Some  of  these 
wireless carriers are, or could become our competitors, and if they compete with us, they may refuse to provide us with 
airtime on their networks. 

10

 
 
 
 
Our business could be adversely impacted by the interruption, failure or corruption of our proprietary Internet-based 
systems that are used to configure and communicate with the wireless tracking and monitoring devices that we sell. 

Our  MRM  business  depends  upon  several  Internet-based  systems  that  are  proprietary  to  our  Company.    These 
applications, which are hosted by an independent data center and are connected via access points to cellular networks, 
are used by our customers and by us to configure and communicate with wireless devices for purposes of determining 
location, speed or other conditions, and to deliver configuration code or executable commands to the devices.  If these 
Internet-based  systems  failed  or  were  otherwise  compromised  in  some  way,  it  could  adversely  affect  the  proper 
functioning of the wireless tracking and monitoring devices that we sell, and could result in damages being incurred by 
us as a result of the temporary or permanent inability of our customers to wirelessly communicate with these devices. 

We may be subject to breaches of our information technology systems, which could damage our reputation, vendor, 
and customer relationships, and our customers’ access to our services. 

Our business operations require that we use and store personally identifiable information of our employees and 
certain customers.  We require user names and passwords in order to access our information technology systems.  We 
also  use  encryption  and  authentication  technologies  to  secure  the  transmission  and  storage  of  data.    These  security 
measures may be compromised as a result of third-party security breaches, employee error, malfeasance, faulty password 
management, or other irregularity, and may result in persons obtaining unauthorized access to our data or accounts.  If a 
computer  security  breach  affects  our  systems,  it  could  damage  our  reputation  and  also  expose  us  to  litigation  and 
possible  liability,  which  could  have  a  material  adverse  effect  on  our  business,  results  of  operations  and  financial 
condition. 

Some CalAmp products are subject to mandatory regulatory approvals in the United States and other countries that 
are subject to change, which could make compliance costly and unpredictable.  

Some CalAmp products are subject to certain mandatory regulatory approvals in the United States, Canada and 
other countries in which it operates.  In the United States, the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) regulates 
many aspects of communication devices, including radiation of electromagnetic energy, biological safety and rules for 
devices to be connected to the telephone network.  In Canada, similar regulations are administered by Industry Canada.  
Although CalAmp has obtained the required FCC and Industry Canada approvals for all products it currently sells, there 
can be no assurance that such approvals can be obtained for future products on a timely basis, or at all.  In addition, such 
regulatory requirements may change or the Company may not in the future be able to obtain all necessary approvals from 
countries  other  than  Canada  or  the  United  States  in  which  it  currently  sells  its  products  or  in  which  it  may  sell  its 
products in the future. 

We may be subject to product liability, warranty and recall claims, which may increase the costs of doing business 
and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. 

We are subject to a risk of product liability or warranty claims if our products or services actually or allegedly fail 
to  perform  as  expected  or  the  use  of  our  products  results,  or  are  alleged  to  result,  in  bodily  injury  and/or  property 
damage.  While we maintain what we believe to be reasonable limits of insurance coverage to appropriately respond to 
such liability exposures, large product liability claims, if made, could exceed our insurance coverage limits and insurance 
may not continue to be available on commercially acceptable terms, if at all.  There can be no assurance that we will not 
incur significant costs to defend these claims or that we will not experience any product liability losses in the future. In 
addition, if any of our designed products are, or are alleged to be, defective, we may be required to participate in recalls 
and exchanges of such products. In the past five years, our warranty expense has fluctuated between approximately 0.3% 
and 9.5% of sales on an annual basis.  Individual quarters were above or below the annual averages.  The future cost 
associated  with  providing  product  warranties  and/or  bearing  the  cost  of  repair  or  replacement  of  our  products  could 
exceed our historical experience and have a  material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of 
operations.

Reduced  consumer  or  corporate  spending  due  to  the  global  economic  downturn  that  began  in  2008  and  other 
uncertainties in the macroeconomic environment have affected and could continue to adversely affect our revenues 
and cash flow. 

We  depend  on  demand  from  the  consumer,  original  equipment  manufacturer,  industrial,  automotive  and  other 
markets we serve for the end market applications of our products.  Our revenues are based on certain levels of consumer 
and  corporate  spending.    If  the  significant  reductions  in  consumer  or  corporate  spending  as  a  result  of  uncertain 
conditions  in  the  macroeconomic  environment  continue,  our  revenues,  profitability  and  cash  flow  could  be  adversely 
affected. 

Rises in interest rates could adversely affect our financial condition. 

An  increase  in  prevailing  interest  rates  could  have  an  immediate  effect  on  the  interest  rates  charged  on  our 
variable rate bank debt with Square 1 Bank, which rise and fall upon changes in interest rates on a periodic basis.  Any 
increased interest expense associated with increases in interest rates affects our profitability and cash flow. 

Risks Relating to Our Common Stock and the Securities Market 

Anti-takeover defenses in our charter and under Delaware law could prevent us from being acquired or limit the price 
that investors might be willing to pay for our common stock in an acquisition.  

Section 203  of  the  Delaware General  Corporation Law  prohibits  a  Delaware  corporation  from  engaging  in  any 
business  combination  with  any  interested  stockholder  for  a  period  of  three  years  from  the  time  the  person  became  an 
interested stockholder, unless specific conditions are met.  In addition, we have in place various protections which would 
make  it  difficult  for  a  company  or  investor  to  buy  the  Company  without  the  approval  of  our  Board  of  Directors, 
including authorized but undesignated preferred stock and provisions requiring advance notice of board nominations and 
other actions to be taken at stockholder meetings.  All of the foregoing could hinder, delay or prevent a change in control 
and could limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock. 

The  trading  price  of  shares  of  our  common  stock  may  be  affected  by  many  factors  and  the  price  of  shares  of  our 
common stock could decline.  

As a publicly traded company, the trading price of our common stock has fluctuated significantly in the past.  The 
future trading price of our common stock may be volatile and could be subject to wide price fluctuations in response to 
such factors, including:  

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

actual or anticipated fluctuations in revenues or operating results; 

failure to meet securities analysts’ or investors’ expectations of performance; 

changes in key management personnel; 

announcements of technological innovations or new products by CalAmp or its competitors; 

developments in or disputes regarding patents and proprietary rights;  

proposed and completed acquisitions by us or our competitors; 

the mix of products and services sold; 

the timing, placement and fulfillment of significant orders; 

product and service pricing and discounts; 

acts of war or terrorism; and 

general economic conditions.

Our stock price has been highly volatile in the past and could be highly volatile in the future.  

The market price of our stock has been highly volatile due to the risks and uncertainties described in this Annual 

Report, as well as other factors, including: 

• 

• 

• 

substantial  volatility  in  quarterly  revenues  and  earnings  due  to  our  current  dependence  on  a  small  number  of 
major customers; 

comments by securities analysts; and  

our failure to meet market expectations. 

Over  the  two-year  period  ended  February  28,  2013,  the  price  of  CalAmp  common  stock  as  reported  on  The 
Nasdaq  Stock  Market  ranged  from  a  high  of  $11.50  to  a  low  of  $2.60.    The  stock  market  has  from  time  to  time 
experienced  extreme  price  and  volume  fluctuations  that  were  unrelated  to  the  operating  performance  of  particular 
companies.  In the past, companies that have experienced volatility have sometimes subsequently become the subject of 
securities  class  action  litigation.    If  litigation  were  instituted  on  this  basis,  it  could  result  in  substantial  costs  and  a 
diversion of management’s attention and resources.  

 Lack of expected dividends may make our stock less attractive as an investment.  

We intend to retain all future earnings for use in the development of our business.  We do not anticipate paying 
any  cash  dividends  on  our  common  stock  in  the  foreseeable  future.  Generally,  stocks  that  pay  regular  dividends 
command higher market trading prices, and so our stock price may be lower as a result of our dividend policy.  

Risk Factors Relating to the Wireless Matrix Acquisition 

We  may  be  unable  to  successfully  integrate  Wireless  Matrix’s  business  and  realize  the  anticipated  benefits  of  the 
acquisition. 

We  will  be  required  to  devote  significant  management  attention  and  resources  to  integrating  the  business 
practices  and  operations  of  Wireless  Matrix  into  our  company.    Potential  difficulties  that  we  may  encounter  in  the 
integration process include the following: 

• 

• 
• 
• 

• 

the inability to combine the businesses of Wireless Matrix and CalAmp’s pre-existing operations in a manner 
that permits us to achieve the benefits we anticipate from the acquisition, including cost savings and other 
synergies; 
lost sales if customers of either Wireless Matrix or us decide not to do business with us after the acquisition; 
the failure to retain key employees of either Wireless Matrix or us; 
potential unknown liabilities and unforeseen increased expenses, delays or regulatory issues associated with the 
acquisition; and 
difficulties in applying our operating and administrative control policies and procedures to Wireless Matrix.  

For all these reasons, it is possible that the integration process following the Wireless Matrix acquisition could divert 

management’s attention, disrupt our ongoing business, or otherwise prove unsuccessful.  Any such issues could 
adversely affect our ability to maintain relationships with customers, vendors and employees or to achieve the 
anticipated benefits of the acquisition, or could otherwise adversely affect our business and financial results. 

We expect to incur transaction and integration expenses related to the Wireless Matrix acquisition. 

We  expect  to  incur  certain  expenses  in  connection  with  completing  the  Wireless  Matrix  acquisition  and 
integrating Wireless Matrix’s operations, policies and procedures with ours, some of which may be significant. While we 
have  assumed  that  a  certain  amount  of  transaction  and  integration  expenses  will  be  incurred,  there  are  a  number  of 
factors beyond our control that could affect the total amount or the timing of these expenses.

Factors affecting the year-to-year comparability of the Selected Financial Data include business acquisitions, asset 

impairment charges, financing transactions and other significant events, as follows:  

• 

• 

• 

• 

In  fiscal  2009,  the  Company  recorded  a  Satellite  segment  impairment  charge  of  $2.3  million,  a  Wireless 
DataCom segment impairment charge of $41.3 million and an investment impairment charge of $1.1 million. 

In fiscal 2009, the Company received $9 million in a legal settlement with Rogers Corporation, a supplier of 
laminate materials that are part of the Company's DBS products.  This was recorded as a reduction of Satellite 
cost of revenues. 

In  fiscal  2013,  the  Company  recognized  an  income  tax  benefit  of  $29.2  million,  primarily  as  a  result  of 
eliminating substantially all of the valuation allowance for deferred income tax assets at the end of fiscal 2013.  
Excluding the effects of this $29.2 million income tax benefit, fiscal 2013 net income  was $15.5 million and 
earnings per share was $0.54 basic and $0.52 diluted. 

In  the  fourth  quarter  of  fiscal  2013,  the  Company  completed  a  public  sale  of  common  stock  that  raised  net 
proceeds  of  approximately  $44.8  million  to  fund  the  Wireless  Matrix  acquisition.    On  March  4,  2013,  which 
was just after the end of fiscal 2013 the Company took out a $5 million bank term loan and consummated the 
acquisition of Wireless Matrix for a cash payment of $52.9 million.  Giving pro forma effect to the $5 million 
bank term loan and the acquisition of Wireless Matrix as if both of these events had occurred on the last day of 
fiscal 2013, Selected Balance Sheet Data at February 28, 2013 would have been as follows (in $000s, except

consolidated  financial  statements,  the  fiscal  year  end  for all  years  is  shown  as  February  28 for  clarity  of presentation.  
Fiscal 2013 consisted of 53 weeks, while fiscal years 2012 and 2011 each consisted of 52 weeks.   

Overview  

The  Company  is  a  leading  provider  of  wireless  communications  solutions  for  a  broad  array  of  applications  to 
customers globally.  The Company’s business activities are organized into our Wireless DataCom and Satellite business 
segments. 

WIRELESS DATACOM  

The Company’s Wireless DataCom segment offers solutions to address the markets for Machine-to-Machine, or 
M2M,  communications,  Mobile  Resource  Management,  or  MRM,  applications  and  other  emerging  applications  that 
require anytime and everywhere connectivity.  The Company’s M2M and MRM solutions enable customers to optimize 
their  operations  by  collecting,  monitoring  and  efficiently  reporting  business-critical  data  and  desired  intelligence  from 
high-value  remote  assets.    The  Company’s  extensive  portfolio  of  intelligent  communications  devices,  scalable  cloud 
services platforms, and targeted software applications streamline otherwise complex M2M or MRM deployments for its 
customers.    The  Company  is  focused  on  delivering  solutions  globally  in  our  core  vertical  markets  in  Energy, 
Government and Transportation.  In addition, the Company anticipates significant future opportunities for adoption of its 
M2M and MRM solutions in Construction, Mining and Usage-Based Automobile Insurance vertical markets, as well as 
other emerging applications in additional markets. 

SATELLITE  

The Company's satellite products are sold primarily to Echostar, an affiliate of Dish Network, for incorporation 

into complete subscription satellite television systems. 

Critical Accounting Policies 

The  Company's  discussion  and  analysis  of  its  financial  condition  and  results  of  operations  are  based  upon  the 
Company's  consolidated  financial  statements,  which  have  been  prepared  in  accordance  with  accounting  principles 
generally accepted in the United States of America.  The preparation of these financial statements requires management 
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent 
assets  and  liabilities  at  the date  of  the  financial  statements  and  the reported  amounts of  sales  and  expenses during  the 
reporting periods.  Areas where significant judgments are made include, but are not limited to, the allowance for doubtful 
accounts, inventory valuation, product warranties, the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, and the valuation of long-
lived assets.  Actual results could differ materially from these estimates.  

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts  

The Company establishes an allowance for estimated bad debts based upon a review and evaluation of specific 
customer  accounts  identified  as  known  and  expected  collection  problems,  based  on  historical  experience,  or  due  to 
insolvency  or  other  collection  issues.    As  further  described  in  Note  1  to  the  accompanying  consolidated  financial 
statements, the Company's customer base is concentrated, with one customer accounting for approximately 22% of the 
Company's fiscal 2013 consolidated revenues.  Changes in either a key customer's financial position, or the economy as a 
whole, could cause actual write-offs to be materially different from the recorded allowance amount.  

Inventories  

The Company evaluates the carrying value of inventory on a quarterly basis to determine if the carrying value is 
recoverable at estimated selling prices.  To the extent that estimated selling prices do not exceed the associated carrying 
values, inventory carrying amounts are written down.  In addition, the Company generally treats inventory on hand or 
committed with suppliers, that is not expected to be sold within the next 12 months, as excess and thus appropriate write-
downs of the inventory carrying amounts are established through a charge to cost of revenues.  Estimated usage in the 
next 12 months is based on firm demand represented by orders in backlog at the end of the quarter and management's 
estimate of sales beyond existing backlog, giving consideration to customers' forecasted demand, ordering patterns and 
product life cycles.  Significant reductions in product pricing, or changes in technology and/or demand may necessitate 
additional write-downs of inventory carrying value in the future.   

17

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Warranty 

The  Company  initially  provides  for  the  estimated  cost  of  product warranties  at  the  time  revenue  is recognized.  
While it engages in extensive product quality programs and processes, the Company's warranty obligation is affected by 
product failure rates and material usage and service delivery costs incurred in correcting a product failure.  Should actual 
product  failure  rates,  material  usage  or  service  delivery  costs  differ  from  management's  estimates,  revisions  to  the 
estimated warranty liability would be required. 

Deferred Income Tax and Uncertain Tax Positions 

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets 
and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and for income tax purposes.  A deferred income tax asset is recognized if 
realization  of  such  asset  is  more  likely  than  not,  based  upon  the  weight  of  available  evidence  that  includes  historical 
operating  performance  and  the  Company's  forecast  of  future  operating  performance.    The  Company  evaluates  the 
realizability  of  its  deferred  income  tax  assets  and  a  valuation  allowance  is  provided,  as  necessary.    During  this 
evaluation,  the  Company  reviews  its  forecasts  of  income  in  conjunction  with  the  positive  and  negative  evidence 
surrounding the realizability of its deferred income tax assets to determine if a valuation allowance is needed.  Pursuant 
to  the  evaluation  conducted  for  fiscal  2013,  the  Company  eliminated  substantially  all  of  the  valuation  allowance  for 
deferred income tax assets at the end of fiscal 2013, resulting in an income tax benefit of $29.2 million for the year. 

In 2007, the Company adopted an accounting pronouncement related to Financial Accounting Standards Board 
Accounting  Standards  Codification  ("ASC")  Topic  740,  “Income  Taxes”  (formerly  FASB  Interpretation  No.  48, 
“Accounting  for  Uncertainty  in  Income  Taxes”  (“FIN  48”))  which  established  a  framework  for  determining  the 
appropriate level of tax reserves to maintain for “uncertain tax positions”.  ASC Topic 740 uses a two-step approach in 
which a tax benefit is recognized if a position is more likely than not to be sustained.  The amount of the benefit is then 
measured as the highest tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely to be realized upon settlement.  At February 28, 2013, 
the Company had unrecognized tax benefits for uncertain tax positions of $1.1 million. 

Impairment Assessments of Purchased Intangible Assets and Other Long-Lived Assets  

At February 28, 2013, the Company had $5.7 million in net intangible assets and $2.8 million in net property and 
equipment and improvements on its consolidated balance sheet.  The Company believes the valuation of its long-lived 
assets is a "critical accounting estimate" because if circumstances arose that led to a decrease in the valuation of such 
assets, it could have a material impact on the Company's results of operations. 

The Company makes judgments about the recoverability of intangible assets and other long-lived assets whenever 
events  or  changes  in  circumstances  indicate  that  an  impairment  in  the  remaining  value  of  the  assets  recorded  on  the 
balance sheet may exist.   

In order to estimate the fair value of long-lived assets, the Company typically makes various assumptions about 
the  future  prospects  for  the  business  that  the  asset  relates  to,  considers  market  factors  specific  to  that  business  and 
estimates future cash flows to be generated by that business.  These assumptions and estimates are necessarily subjective 
and  based  on  management's  best  estimates  based  on  the  information  available  at  the  time  such  estimates  are  made.  
Based on these assumptions and estimates, the Company determines whether it needs to record an impairment charge to 
reduce the value of the asset stated on the balance sheet to reflect its estimated fair value determined by a discounted 
cash flow  analysis.   Assumptions  and  estimates  about  future values  and remaining  useful  lives are complex  and  often 
subjective.  They can be affected by a variety of factors, including external factors such as industry and economic trends, 
and internal factors such as changes in the Company's business strategy and its internal forecasts.  Although management 
believes the assumptions and estimates that have been made in the past have been reasonable and appropriate, different 
assumptions  and  estimates  could  materially  impact  the  Company's  reported  financial  results.    More  conservative 
assumptions of the anticipated future benefits from these businesses could result in impairment charges in the statement 
of operations, and  lower  asset  values  on  the  balance  sheet.   Conversely, less  conservative  assumptions  could  result  in 
smaller or no impairment charges.  

Stock-Based Compensation Expense 

The Company measures stock-based compensation expense at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, 
and recognizes the expense over the employee's requisite service (vesting) period using the straight-line method.  The 
measurement  of  stock-based  compensation  expense  is  based  on  several  criteria  including,  but  not  limited  to,  the 
valuation model used and associated input factors, such as expected term of the award, stock price volatility, risk free 

18

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
interest rate and forfeiture rate.  Certain of these inputs are subjective to some degree and are determined based in part on 
management's  judgment.    The  Company  recognizes  the  compensation  expense  on  a  straight-line  basis  for  its  graded-
vesting awards.  Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual 
forfeitures differ from those estimates.  However, the cumulative compensation expense recognized at any point in time 
must at least equal the portion of the grant-date fair value of the award that is vested at that date.  As used in this context, 
the  term  "forfeitures"  is  distinct  from  "cancellations"  or  "expirations",  and  refers  only  to  the  unvested  portion  of  the 
surrendered equity awards.   

Revenue Recognition 

The  Company  recognizes  revenue  from  product  sales  when  persuasive  evidence  of  an  arrangement  exists, 
delivery has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collection of the sales price is reasonably assured.  In 
cases  where  terms  of  sale  include  subjective  customer  acceptance  criteria,  revenue  is  deferred  until  the  acceptance 
criteria are met.  Critical judgments  made  by  management related to revenue recognition include the determination of 
whether or not customer acceptance criteria are perfunctory or inconsequential.  The determination of whether or not the 
customer  acceptance  terms  are  perfunctory  or  inconsequential  impacts  the  amount  and  timing  of  revenue  recognized.  
Critical judgments also include estimates of warranty reserves, which are established based on historical experience and 
knowledge of the product.  

The Company defers revenues from products that are sold with data communication services because the services 
are essential to the functionality of the products, and accordingly, the associated product costs are recorded as deferred 
costs.  These deferred amounts are recognized over the minimum contractual term of one year on a straight-line basis.  
Revenues from renewals of the services after the initial one year term are recognized when services are performed.  In 
certain  instances  where  customers  prepay  the  renewals,  such  amounts  are  recorded  as  deferred  revenues  and  are 
recognized over future periods in accordance with the renewal term.   

The Company also undertakes projects that include the design, development and manufacture of communication 
systems used in the public safety and transportation sectors that are specially customized to customers' specifications or 
that involve fixed site construction.  Sales under such contracts are recorded under the percentage-of-completion method.  
Estimated  revenues  and  costs  are  recorded  as  work  is  performed  based  on  the  percentage  that  incurred  costs  bear  to 
estimated  total  costs  utilizing  the  most  recent  estimates  of  costs.    If  the  current  contract  estimate  indicates  a  loss, 
provision is made for the total anticipated loss in the current period.  Critical estimates made by management related to 
revenue recognition under the percentage-of-completion method include the estimation of costs at completion.

Fiscal Year 2013 compared to Fiscal Year 2012 

Revenue 

Wireless DataCom revenue increased by $40.4 million, or 41%, to $139.5 million in fiscal 2013 compared to the 

fiscal 2012.  These improvements were due primarily to increased demand for the Company’s MRM products.   

Satellite revenue increased by $1.5 million, or 4%, to $41.1 million in fiscal 2013 from $39.6 million last year  

primarily due to the introduction of new products in the latter part of fiscal 2012.

Gross Profit and Gross Margins 

Wireless  DataCom  gross  profit  increased  by  $11.4  million  to  $50.0  million  in  fiscal  2013  compared  to  $38.6 
million last year due mainly to increased MRM hardware revenue, and gross margin decreased to 35.8% in fiscal 2013 
from 39.0% in fiscal 2012 due primarily to the fact that fiscal 2012 included revenue of $3.0 million from a patent sale 
for  which  there  was  no  associated  cost  of  revenue.    Excluding  the  effects  of  the  fiscal  2012  patent  sale,  the  Wireless 
DataCom gross margin in fiscal 2013 was down 1.3 points year-over-year due primarily to a higher percentage of MRM 
product sales.  

The Satellite segment had gross profit of $6.9 million in fiscal 2013, compared with gross profit of $3.4 million 
last  year.    Satellite  gross  margin  was  16.8%  for  fiscal  2013,  compared  to  8.6%  last  year.    These  increases  are  due  to 
higher revenue, change in product mix, and the conversion to a variable cost operating model in which substantially all 
of the satellite products are now manufactured by off-shore subcontractors.   

See also Note 13 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional operating data by business 

segment. 

Operating Expenses 

Consolidated  research  and  development  (“R&D”)  expense  increased  by  $3.0  million  to  $14.3  million  in  fiscal 
2013  from  $11.3  million  in  fiscal  2012.    This  increase  is  due  primarily  to  increased  salaries  expense  from  additional 
R&D personnel in the MRM business and higher consulting and outside services. 

Consolidated selling expenses increased by $1.6 million to $12.7 million this year from $11.1 million last year.  
This  increase  is  due  primarily  to  higher  payroll  expense  as  a  result  of  additional  sales  personnel  and  higher  sales 
commission expense. 

Consolidated general and administrative expenses ("G&A") increased by $1.2 million to $12.2 million this year 
from $11.0 million last year due to higher stock-based compensation, consulting and outside service expenses.  Stock-
based compensation expense increased by $389,000 in fiscal 2013 due primarily to the remeasurement and acceleration 
of expense recognition of the equity awards held by the Company’s former CEO.     

Amortization  of  intangibles  increased  from  $1,277,000  last  year  to  $1,743,000  this  year.    These  increases  are 
attributable to the current year amortization expense related to the intangibles acquired pursuant to the Navman Wireless 
Asset Purchase Agreement, partially offset by the effect of some intangible assets that became fully amortized in fiscal 
2012.  

Non-operating Expense, Net 

Non-operating  expense  decreased  from  $2.1  million  last  year  to  $0.5  million  this  year.    This  decrease  is 
attributable to lower interest expense in the current year due to lower debt balances and borrowing rates, and the fact that 
last year’s non-operating expense included $0.8 million of cumulative foreign currency translation account losses related 
to the Company’s investment in its French subsidiary that were written off as a result of the decision to shut down this 
subsidiary  and  a  $0.5  million  write-off  of  the  remaining  unamortized  debt  discount  and  issue  costs  on  the  12% 
subordinated notes payable that were repaid during fiscal 2012. 

Income Tax Provision 

During fiscal 2013 the Company reversed a portion of its deferred tax asset valuation allowance corresponding to 
the amount of NOLs utilized to offset taxable income.  In addition, pursuant to the fiscal 2013 evaluation of the future 
utilizability  of  deferred  tax  assets,  the  Company reversed substantially  all  of  the  remaining valuation  allowance  at  the 
end  of  fiscal  2013,  resulting  in  an  income  tax  benefit  of  $29.2  million  for  the  year.    Beginning  in  fiscal  2014,  the 
Company expects that its effective income tax rate will revert to a more typical level of around 40% based on full federal 
and state statutory tax rates.

Fiscal Year 2012 compared to Fiscal Year 2011 

Revenue 

Wireless DataCom revenue increased by $20.7 million, or 26%, to $99.1 million in fiscal 2012 compared to fiscal 
2011.  The MRM business contributed significantly to the increased revenue through the addition of new customers and 
growth in orders from existing customers.  The remaining Wireless DataCom revenue increase was attributable to higher 
sales  of  the  Wireless  Networks  business  with  significant  contribution  from  a  Positive  Train  Control  project,  which 
accounted for $3.3 million of the year-over year revenue increase, and revenue of $3.0 million from the sale of patents in 
the second quarter of fiscal 2012.  

Satellite revenue increased by $3.7 million, or 10%, to $39.6 million in fiscal 2012 compared to fiscal 2011.  This 
increase was attributable in part to the launch of a new home video and data networking product that the Company began 
shipping to its key satellite customer in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012.    

Gross Profit and Gross Margins 

Wireless  DataCom  gross  profit  increased  by  $10.7  million  to  $38.6  million  in  fiscal  2012  compared  to  $27.9 
million in fiscal 2011, and gross margin improved to 39.0% in fiscal 2012 from 35.6% in fiscal 2011 due primarily to 
increased absorption of fixed manufacturing costs on higher revenue and revenue of $3.0 million from the sale of patents 
in fiscal 2012 for which there was no corresponding cost of revenues.   

Satellite gross profit increased by $1.8 million to $3.4 million in fiscal 2012 compared to $1.6 million in fiscal 
2011.  Gross margin of the Satellite business increased to 8.6% in fiscal 2012 from 4.6% in fiscal 2011 as a result of the 
Company’s transition in fiscal 2012 to a variable cost operating model in which substantially all of the satellite products 
are manufactured by off-shore subcontractors.  

Operating Expenses 

Consolidated R&D expense increased 2% to $11.3 million in fiscal 2012 from $11.1 million in fiscal 2011 due to 
severance costs arising from personnel reductions in the Satellite business ($116,000) and higher 401(k) plan employer 
contribution  expense  ($91,000)  due  to  reinstatement  of  401(k)  employer  matching  contributions  in  January  2011 
following a period of approximately 21 months during which matching contributions were suspended.   

Consolidated  selling  expenses  increased  from  $10.5  million  in  fiscal  2011  to  $11.1  million  in  fiscal  2012  due 

primarily to higher payroll expense as a result of additional sales personnel. 

Consolidated G&A expense increased by $2.1 million to $11.0 million in fiscal 2012 due to higher payroll and 
legal expenses.  Higher G&A payroll expense was primarily due to incentive expenses recorded in fiscal 2012 as a result 
of  the  Company’s  improving  profitability  and  hiring  additional  personnel.    Legal  expense  was  higher  in  fiscal  2012 
because  legal expense  in fiscal  2011 was reduced  by $230,000 due  to  an  indemnification settlement  entered  into with 
another company involving defense costs, and also due to legal expense incurred in fiscal 2012 in connection with the 
shut-down of the Company’s French subsidiary.   

Amortization  of  intangibles  increased  from  $1.1  million  in  fiscal  2011  to  $1.3  million  in  fiscal  2012.    The 
increase was attributable to the amortization of the Dataradio tradename asset over a period of seven years commencing 
in fiscal 2012. Previously this tradename asset was classified as an indefinite-lived asset and accordingly it was not being 
amortized prior to fiscal 2012. 

Non-operating Expense, Net 

Non-operating expense increased from $1.4 million in fiscal 2011 to $2.1 million in fiscal 2012 due to cumulative 
foreign currency translation account losses of $0.8 million related to the Company’s investment in its French subsidiary 
that were written off in the second quarter of fiscal 2012 as a result of the decision to dissolve this subsidiary.   

Income Tax Provision 

No income tax provision was recorded during fiscal 2012, other than minimum state and federal income taxes, 
because of the existence of net operating loss carryforwards that offset pretax income.   The tax benefit of $172,000 in 
fiscal 2011 was related to the carryback of net operating losses of the Company’s French subsidiary.

        Liquidity and Capital Resources 

On  March  1,  2013,  the  Company  and  Square  1  Bank  entered  into  the  Eighth  Amendment  (the  “Eighth 
Amendment”)  to  the  Loan  and  Security  Agreement  dated  as  of  December  22,  2009  (as  amended  by  the  Eighth 
Amendment,  the  “Amended  Loan  Agreement”).    The  Eighth  Amendment  increased  the  maximum  credit  limit  of  the 
facility from $12 million to $15 million, lowered the interest rate on outstanding borrowings from prime plus 1.0% to 
prime,  and  extended  the  facility  maturity  date  from  August  15,  2014  to  March  1,  2017.    The  Eighth  Amendment 
provided for a new $5 million term loan (the “New Term Loan”) that was fully funded on March 4, 2013, which was just 
after  the  end  of  fiscal  2013.    Concurrent  with  funding  the  New  Term  Loan,  the  pre-existing  term  loan  with  an 
outstanding  principal  balance  of  $1.8  million  was  retired.  Principal  of  the  New  Term  Loan  is  repayable  at  the  rate  of 
$83,333 per month beginning April 2013, with a $1.1 million principal payment due at maturity. The revolver portion of 
the Amended Loan Agreement has a borrowing limit equal to the lesser of (a) $15 million minus the term loan principal 
outstanding at any point in time, or (b) 85% of eligible accounts receivable. There were no borrowings outstanding on 
the revolver at the end of fiscal 2013 or 2012. Interest is payable on the last day of each calendar month.  The Company 
agreed to pay loan fees to Square 1 Bank in connection with the Eighth Amendment of $7,500 on the first anniversary 
and $37,500 on each of the next three anniversaries of the New Term Loan.   

The Amended Loan Agreement contains financial covenants that require the Company to  maintain a  minimum 
level of earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization and other noncash charges ("EBITDA") and a 
minimum  debt  coverage  ratio,  both  measured  monthly  beginning  March  2013  on  a  rolling  12-month  basis.    At  and 
subsequent to February 28, 2013, the Company was in compliance with its debt covenants under the credit facility.   

The Company's primary sources of liquidity are its cash and cash equivalents and the revolving line of credit with 
Square 1 Bank.  During fiscal 2013, cash and cash equivalents increased by $57.5 million.  During this period, cash was 
provided by operations in the amount of $14.4 million, net proceeds from the sale of common stock of $44.8 million, 
proceeds from exercise of stock options and warrants of $2.8 million and collections on a note receivable of $0.5 million, 
partially offset by $1.0 million cash paid pursuant to the Navman Wireless Asset Purchase Agreement, debt repayments 
of  $1.7  million,  capital  expenditures  of  $1.9  million  and  payment  of  employee  withholding  taxes  on  the  net  share 
settlement of vested equity awards of $2.6 million.   

On March 4, 2013, the Company completed the acquisition of all outstanding capital stock of Wireless Matrix.  
Under the terms of the agreement, the Company acquired Wireless Matrix for a cash payment of $52.9 million, subject to 
adjustment. The assets acquired by the Company included cash of approximately $6 million. The Company funded the 
purchase price from the net proceeds of its recently completed equity offering of $44.8 million, the net proceeds from the 
New Term Loan, and cash on hand.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK 

Foreign Currency Risk 

The  Company  has  international  operations,  giving  rise  to  exposure  to  market  risks  from  changes  in  foreign 
exchange rates.  A cumulative foreign currency translation loss of $65,000 related to the Company's Canadian subsidiary 
is included in accumulated other comprehensive loss in the stockholders' equity section of the consolidated balance sheet 
at  February  28,  2013.    Foreign  currency  gains  (losses)  included  in  the  consolidated  statements  of  operations  were 
$(43,000),  $(45,000)  and  $40,000  in  fiscal  2013,  2012  and  2011,  respectively.    In  addition,  during  fiscal  2012  the 
Company wrote off $801,000 of cumulative foreign currency translation losses related to its French subsidiary as a result 
of the decision to dissolve this subsidiary. 

Interest Rate Risk 

The Company has variable-rate bank debt.  A fluctuation of one percent in the interest rate on the $15 million 
credit  facility  with  Square  1  Bank  would  have  an  annual  impact  of  approximately  $150,000  on  the  Company's 
consolidated statement of operations assuming that the full amount of the facility was borrowed.

ITEM 8.  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA 

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders 
CalAmp Corp. and Subsidiaries 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of CalAmp Corp. and subsidiaries (collectively, 
the “Company”) as of February 28, 2013 and 2012, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive 
income (loss), stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended February 28, 2013. 
These  financial  statements  are  the  responsibility  of  the  Company's  management.    Our  responsibility  is  to  express  an 
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board 
(United  States).    Those  standards  require  that  we  plan  and  perform  the  audit  to  obtain  reasonable  assurance  about 
whether  the  financial  statements  are  free  of  material  misstatement.    An  audit  includes  examining,  on  a  test  basis, 
evidence  supporting  the  amounts  and  disclosures  in  the  financial  statements.    An  audit  also  includes  assessing  the 
accounting  principles  used  and  significant  estimates  made  by  management,  as  well  as  evaluating  the  overall  financial 
statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the 
financial position of the Company as of February 28, 2013 and 2012, and the results of its operations and its cash flows 
for each of the three years in the period ended February 28, 2013, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting 
principles.   

We  have  also audited,  in  accordance  with  the  standards of  the  Public  Company  Accounting Oversight  Board 
(United  States),  the  Company’s  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  as  of  February  28,  2013,  based  on  criteria 
established  in  Internal  Control  -  Integrated  Framework  issued  by  the  Committee  of  Sponsoring  Organizations  of  the 
Treadway Commission, and our report dated April 25, 2013 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the 
Company’s  internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders 
CalAmp Corp. and Subsidiaries 

We have audited CalAmp Corp. and subsidiaries' (collectively, the “Company”) internal control over financial 
reporting as of February 28, 2013, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the 
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.  The Company’s management is responsible for 
maintaining  effective  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  and  for  its  assessment  of  the  effectiveness  of  internal 
control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial 
Reporting.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based 
on our audit. 

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board 
(United  States).    Those  standards  require  that  we  plan  and  perform  the  audit  to  obtain  reasonable  assurance  about 
whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.  Our audit included 
obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, 
and  testing  and  evaluating  the  design  and  operating  effectiveness  of  internal  control  based  on  the  assessed  risk.    Our 
audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.  We believe that 
our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. 

A  company's  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  is  a  process  designed  to  provide  reasonable  assurance 
regarding  the  reliability  of  financial  reporting  and  the  preparation  of  financial  statements  for  external  purposes  in 
accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting  principles.    A  company's  internal  control  over  financial  reporting 
includes those policies and procedures that (a) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately 
and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (b) provide reasonable assurance that 
transactions  are  recorded  as  necessary  to  permit  preparation  of  financial  statements  in  accordance  with  generally 
accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance 
with  authorizations  of  management  and  directors  of  the  company;  and  (c)  provide  reasonable  assurance  regarding 
prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a 
material effect on the financial statements. 

Because  of  its  inherent  limitations,  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  may  not  prevent  or  detect 
misstatements.  Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls 
may  become  inadequate  because  of  changes  in  conditions,  or  that  the  degree  of  compliance  with  the  policies  or 
procedures may deteriorate. 

In  our  opinion,  the  Company  maintained,  in  all  material  respects,  effective  internal  control  over  financial 
reporting as of February 28, 2013, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the 
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. 

We  have  also audited,  in  accordance  with  the  standards of  the  Public  Company  Accounting Oversight  Board 
(United  States),  the  consolidated  balance  sheets  as  of  February  28,  2013  and  2012,  and  the  related  consolidated 
statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years 
in  the  period  ended  February  28,  2013 of  the  Company  and our report  dated April  25,  2013  expressed  an unqualified 
opinion.

(a)  On March 4, 2013, which was just after the end of fiscal 2013, the Company took out a $5 million bank term 

loan and consummated the acquisition of Wireless Matrix for a cash payment of $52.9 million. The amounts in 
the Pro Forma column give effect to the $5 million bank term loan and the Wireless Matrix acquisition as if 
both events had occurred on the last day of fiscal 2013.  See Note 16 for details of these subsequent events.

CALAMP CORP. 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

Description of Business 

CalAmp Corp. ("CalAmp" or the "Company") is a leading provider of wireless communications solutions for a 
broad array of applications to customers globally.  The Company’s business activities are organized into our Wireless 
DataCom and Satellite business segments. 

Principles of Consolidation 

The  consolidated  financial  statements  include  the  accounts  of  the  Company  (a  Delaware  corporation)  and  its 
subsidiaries,  all  of  which  are  wholly-owned.    All  significant  intercompany  transactions  have  been  eliminated  in 
consolidation.   

Use of Estimates 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United 
States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities 
and  disclosure  of  contingent  assets  and  liabilities  at  the  date  of  the  financial  statements  and  the  reported  amounts  of 
revenues  and  expenses  during  the  reporting  period.    Actual  results  could  differ  from  those  estimates.    Areas  where 
significant  judgments  are  made  include,  but  are  not  necessarily  limited  to,  allowance  for  doubtful  accounts,  inventory 
valuation, product warranties, deferred income tax asset valuation allowances, valuation of purchased intangible assets 
and other long-lived assets, stock-based compensation, and revenue recognition.   

Fiscal Year 

The Company uses a 52-53 week fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to February 28, which for fiscal years 
2013,  2012  and  2011  fell  on  March  2,  2013,  February  25,  2012,  and  February  26,  2011,  respectively.    In  these 
consolidated  financial  statements,  the  fiscal  year  end  for all  years  is  shown  as  February  28 for  clarity  of presentation.  
Fiscal 2013 consisted of 53 weeks, while fiscal years 2012 and 2011 each consisted of 52 weeks.   

Revenue Recognition 

The  Company  recognizes  revenue  from  product  sales  when  persuasive  evidence  of  an  arrangement  exists, 
delivery  has  occurred,  the  sales  price  is  fixed  or  determinable  and  collection  of  the  sales  price  is  reasonably  assured.  
Generally,  these  criteria  are  met  at  the  time  product  is  shipped,  except  for  shipments  made  on  the  basis  of  "FOB 
Destination" terms, in which case title transfers to the customer and the revenue is recorded by the Company when the 
shipment reaches the customer.  Customers generally do not have rights of return except for defective products returned 
during the warranty period.  In the limited number of instances where customers have a right of return period, revenue is 
not recognized until the expiration of such period. 

The  Company  defers  the  recognition  of  revenues  for  products  that  are  sold  with  data  communication  services 
because the services are essential to the functionality of the products, and accordingly, the associated product costs are 
recorded  as  deferred  costs.    The  deferred  product  revenue  and  deferred  product  cost  amounts  are  recognized  on  a 
straight-line  basis  over  the  minimum  contractual  service  period  of  one  year.    Revenues  from  renewals  of  data 
communication  services  after  the  initial  one  year  term  are  recognized  as  the  services  are  provided.    When  customers 
prepay data communication service renewals, such amounts are recorded as deferred revenues and are recognized over 
the renewal term.   

The Company also undertakes projects that include the development of communication systems used for public 
safety  and  transportation  applications  that  are  designed  to  customers'  specifications  or  that  involve  fixed  site 
construction.  Sales under such contracts are recorded under the percentage-of-completion method.  Costs and estimated 
revenues  are  recorded  as  work  is  performed  based  on  the  percentage  that  incurred  costs  bear  to  estimated  total  costs 
utilizing the most recent estimates of costs.  If the current estimate of percentage complete and total estimated costs for a 
given  contract  indicates  a  loss,  provision  is  made  in  the  current  period  for  the  total  anticipated  loss  on  such  contract.  
Costs  and  estimated  earnings  in  excess  of  billings  on  uncompleted  contracts  arise  when  contract  revenues  have  been 

31

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  
recognized on the percentage-of-completion method in advance of when the amounts can be invoiced to the customers 
under  the  terms  of  the  contracts.  Such  amounts  are  billable  to  the  customers  upon  various  measures  of  performance, 
including  achievement  of  certain  milestones,  completion  of  specified  units,  or  completion  of  a  contract.    Costs  and 
estimated  earnings  in  excess  of  billings  on  uncompleted  contracts  are  included  in  prepaid  expenses  and  other  current 
assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. 

Cash and Cash Equivalents 

The  Company  considers  all  highly  liquid  investments  with  remaining  maturities  at  date  of  purchase  of  three 

months or less to be cash equivalents. 

Concentrations of Risk 

At February 28, 2013, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents were maintained in financial institutions that are 

insured up to the limit determined by the appropriate governmental agency.   

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of 

cash equivalents and trade receivables.   

Because the Company sells into markets dominated by a few large service providers, a significant percentage of 
consolidated  revenues  and  consolidated  accounts  receivable  relate  to  a  small  number  of  customers.    Customers  that 
accounted for 10% or more of consolidated annual revenues in any one of the last three years are as follows:  

Customer 
A 

Year ended February 28, 
2012 
28.3% 

2011 
31.0% 

2013 
22.1% 

Customers  that  accounted  for  10%  or  more  of  consolidated  net  accounts  receivable  in  any  one  of  the  last  two 

years are as follows:  

Customer 
A 
B 

February 28, 

2013 
18.4% 
  6.6% 

2012 
33.4% 
11.1% 

Customer  A  is  a  customer  of  the  Company's  Satellite  segment  and  Customer  B  is  a  customer  of  the  Wireless 

DataCom segment. 

A  substantial  portion  of  the  Company’s  inventory  is  purchased  from  one  supplier,  which  functions  as  an 
independent  foreign  procurement  agent  and  contract  manufacturer.    This  supplier  accounted  for  54%  and  50%  of  the 
Company's  total  inventory  purchases  in  fiscal  2013  and  2012,  respectively.    As  of  February  28,  2013,  this  supplier 
accounted for 63% of the Company's total accounts payable. 

Some of the Company's components, assemblies and electronic manufacturing services are purchased from sole 

source suppliers.   

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts 

The Company establishes an allowance for estimated bad debts based upon a review and evaluation of specific 
customer accounts identified as having known or expected collection problems based on historical experience or due to 
insolvency, disputes or other collection issues.   

Inventories 

Inventories include costs of materials, labor and manufacturing overhead.  Inventories are stated at the lower of 

cost or net realizable value, with cost determined principally by the use of the first-in, first-out method.

Property, equipment and improvements 

Property, equipment and improvements are stated at the lower of cost or fair value determined through periodic 
impairment  analyses.    The  Company  follows  the  policy  of  capitalizing  expenditures  that  increase  asset  lives,  and 
expensing  ordinary  maintenance  and  repairs  as  incurred.    The  Company  has  capitalized  certain  internal  use  software 
which is included in property and equipment. 

Depreciation and amortization are based upon the estimated useful lives of the related assets using the straight-
line  method.    Plant  equipment  and  office  equipment  are  depreciated  over  useful  lives  ranging  from  two  to  five  years, 
while tooling is depreciated over 18 months.  Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or 
the useful life of the improvements. 

Operating Leases 

Rent  expense  under  operating  leases  is  recognized  on  a straight-line  basis  over  the  lease  term.    The  difference 

between the rent expense and the rent payment is recorded as an increase or decrease in the deferred rent liability. 

The Company accounts for tenant allowances in lease agreements as a deferred rent credit, which is amortized on 

a straight-line basis over the lease term as a reduction of rent expense. 

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets 

      Goodwill  represents  the  excess  of  purchase  price  and  related  costs  over  the  value  assigned  to  the  net 
tangible  assets  and  identifiable  intangible  assets  of  businesses  acquired.    Goodwill  is  not  amortized.    Instead, 
goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances 
change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. 

The cost of definite-lived identified intangible assets is amortized over the assets' estimated useful lives ranging 

from one to seven years on a straight-line basis as no other discernible pattern of usage is more readily determinable. 

Accounting for Long-Lived Assets  

The  Company  reviews  property  and  equipment  and  other  long-lived  assets  for  impairment  whenever  events  or 
changes  in  circumstances  indicate  that  the  carrying  amounts  of  an  asset  may  not  be  recoverable.    Recoverability  is 
measured by comparison of the asset's carrying amount to the undiscounted future net cash flows an asset is expected to 
generate.    If  a  long-lived  asset  or  group  of  assets  is  considered  to  be  impaired,  the  impairment  to  be  recognized  is 
measured  as  the  amount  by which  the  carrying  amount  of  the  asset or asset  group  exceeds  the discounted future cash 
flows that are projected to be generated by the asset or asset group. 

Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments 

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument 

for which it is practicable to estimate: 

Cash  and  cash  equivalents,  accounts  receivable  and  accounts  payable  -  The  carrying  amount  is  a  reasonable 

estimate of fair value given the short maturity of these instruments. 

Debt - The estimated fair value of the Company's bank debt approximates the carrying value of such debt because 

the interest rate is variable and is market-based.   

Warranty 

The  Company  generally  warrants  its  products  against  defects  over  periods  ranging  from  3  to  24  months.    An 
accrual for estimated future costs relating to products returned under warranty is recorded as an expense when products 
are  shipped.    At  the  end  of  each  quarter,  the  Company  adjusts  its  liability  for  warranty  claims  based  on  its  actual 
warranty claims experience as a percentage of revenues for the preceding one to two years and also considers the impact 
of the known operational issues that may have a greater impact than historical trends. The warranty reserve is included in 
Other  Current  Liabilities  in  the  balance  sheets.  See  Note  10  for  a  table  of  annual  increases  in  and  reductions  of  the 
warranty reserve for the last three years.

Deferred Income Taxes      

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets 
and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and for income tax purposes.  The Company evaluates the realizability of 
its deferred income tax assets and a valuation allowance is provided, as necessary.  In assessing this valuation allowance, 
the Company reviews historical and future expected operating results and other factors, including its recent cumulative 
earnings experience, expectations of future taxable income by taxing jurisdiction and the carryforward periods available 
for  tax  reporting  purposes,  to  determine  whether  it  is  more  likely  than  not  that  deferred  tax  assets  are  realizable.  
Pursuant to the evaluation conducted for fiscal 2013, the Company eliminated substantially all of the valuation allowance 
for deferred income tax assets at the end of fiscal 2013, resulting in an income tax benefit of $29.2 million for the year. 

Foreign Currency Translation and Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) Account 

The  Company's  French  subsidiary  uses  the  U.S.  dollar  as  its  functional  currency.    As  a  result  of  changing  the 
functional  currency  of  the  Company's  French  subsidiary  from the  French  franc  to  the U.S.  dollar  in  2002,  the  foreign 
currency translation loss of $801,000 was included in accumulated other comprehensive loss in the stockholders’ equity 
section of the balance sheet.  During fiscal 2012, the Company wrote off the $801,000 foreign currency translation loss 
as a result of the decision to shut down this French subsidiary. This subsidiary was dissolved in fiscal 2013. 

The Company's Canadian subsidiary changed its functional currency from the Canadian dollar to the U.S. dollar 
effective  at  the  end  of  fiscal  2010.    The  cumulative  foreign  currency  translation  loss  of  $65,000  that  is  included  in 
accumulated other comprehensive loss will remain unchanged for such time that the Canadian subsidiary continues to be 
part of the Company's consolidated financial statements.  

The aggregate foreign transaction exchange gains (losses) included in determining income (loss) before income 

taxes were $(43,000), $(45,000) and $40,000 in fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. 

Earnings Per Share 

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by 
the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted earnings per share reflects the 
potential dilution, using the treasury stock method, that could occur if stock options and stock purchase warrants were 
exercised.    In  computing  diluted  earnings  per  share,  the  treasury  stock  method  assumes  that  outstanding  options  and 
warrants  are  exercised  and  the  proceeds  are  used  to  purchase  common  stock  at  the  average  market  price  during  the 
period.  Options and warrants will have a dilutive effect under the treasury stock method only when the Company reports 
net  income  and  the  average  market  price  of  the  common  stock  during  the  period  exceeds  the  exercise  price  of  the 
derivative securities. 

Stock-Based Compensation 

The Company measures stock-based compensation expense at the grant date, based on the fair value of the equity 
award, and recognizes the expense over the employee's requisite service (vesting) period using the straight-line method.  
The measurement of stock-based compensation expense is based on several criteria including, but not limited to, the type 
of equity award, the valuation model used and associated input factors, such as expected term of the award, stock price 
volatility,  risk  free  interest  rate  and  forfeiture  rate.    Certain  of  these  inputs  are  subjective  to  some  degree  and  are 
determined based in part on management's judgment.  The Company recognizes the compensation expense on a straight-
line  basis  for  its  graded-vesting  awards.    Forfeitures  are  estimated  at  the  time  of  grant  and  revised,  if  necessary,  in 
subsequent  periods  if  actual  forfeitures  differ  from  those  estimates.    However,  the  cumulative  compensation  expense 
recognized at any point in time must at least equal the portion of the grant-date fair value of the award that is vested at 
that date.  As used in this context, the term "forfeitures" is distinct from "cancellations" or "expirations", and refers only 
to the unvested portion of the surrendered equity awards.  

Business Combinations 

The Company applies the provisions of ASC 805, Business Combinations, in the accounting for its acquisitions, 
which  requires  recognition  of  the  assets  acquired  and  the  liabilities  assumed  at  their  acquisition  date  fair  values, 
separately from goodwill.  Goodwill as of the acquisition date is measured as the excess of consideration transferred and 
the  net  of  the  acquisition  date  fair  values  of  the  tangible  and  identifiable  intangible  assets  acquired  and  liabilities 
assumed.  While the Company uses its best estimates and assumptions to accurately value assets acquired and liabilities 

34

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  
assumed  at  the  acquisition  date  as  well  as  contingent  consideration,  where  applicable,  its  estimates  are  inherently 
uncertain and subject to refinement.  As a result, during the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the 
acquisition date, the Company records adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed with the corresponding 
offset  to  goodwill.    Upon  the  conclusion  of  the  measurement  period  or  final  determination  of  the  values  of  assets 
acquired  or  liabilities  assumed,  whichever  comes  first,  the  impact  of  any  subsequent  adjustments  is  included  in  the 
consolidated statements of operations.  

Costs  to  exit  or  restructure  certain  activities  of  an  acquired  company  or  the  Company’s  internal  operations  are 
accounted for as one-time termination and exit costs pursuant to ASC 420, Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations, and are 
accounted for separately from the business combination.  A liability for costs associated with an exit or disposal activity 
is recognized and measured at its fair value in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations in the period in which 
the liability is incurred.   

Uncertain tax positions and tax-related valuation allowances assumed in connection with a business combination 
are initially estimated as of the acquisition date.  The Company reevaluates these items quarterly based upon facts and 
circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date, with any adjustments to the preliminary estimates being recorded to 
goodwill  provided  that  it  is  within  the  measurement  period.    Subsequent  to  the  end  of  the  measurement  period  or  the 
Company’s final determination of the value of the tax allowance or contingency, whichever comes first, changes to these 
uncertain tax positions and tax-related valuation allowances will affect the provision for income taxes in the consolidated 
statement of operations, and could have a material impact on results of operations and financial position.  

Recent Accounting Pronouncements 

In  June  2011,  the  FASB  issued  Accounting  Standards  Update  No.  2011-05,  “Comprehensive  Income  (Topic 
220):  Presentation  of  Comprehensive  Income”.  This  guidance  requires  companies  to  present  the  components  of  net 
income  and  other  comprehensive  income  either  as  one  continuous  statement  or  as  two  consecutive  statements.    It 
eliminates  the  option  to  present  components  of  other  comprehensive  income  as  part  of  the  statement  of  changes  in 
stockholders' equity.  The standard does not change the items which must be reported in other comprehensive income, 
how  such  items  are  measured  or  when  they  must  be  reclassified  to  net  income.    The  Company  adopted  this 
pronouncement in the first quarter of fiscal 2013.  

NOTE 2 – SUPPLY AGREEMENT AND ACQUISITION 

On May 7, 2012, the Company entered into a five-year supply agreement (the “Supply Agreement”) to provide at 
least $25 million of fleet tracking products to Navman Wireless, a privately held company (“Navman”).  In conjunction 
with the Supply Agreement, the Company also entered into an asset purchase agreement on May 7, 2012 with Navman 
(the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) and established a research and development center in Auckland, New Zealand with an 
initial staff of 14 employees who transferred from Navman’s workforce. 

The  purchase  price  for  the  products  and  technologies  acquired  from  Navman  pursuant  to  the  Asset  Purchase 
Agreement was $4,902,000, comprised of $1,000,000 paid in cash at closing, a non-interest bearing note payable with a 
present value of $3,080,000 at the time of issuance, and the fair value of estimated contingent royalties consideration of 
$822,000 for sales by CalAmp during the first three years of certain products acquired from Navman under the Asset 
Purchase Agreement.  The note payable has a face value of $4,000,000, and is payable in the form of a 15% rebate on 
certain products sold by the Company to Navman under the Supply Agreement.   

The Company is accounting for this acquisition under FASB ASC Topic 805, “Business Combinations”, which 
provides guidance on the accounting and reporting for transactions that represent business combinations to be accounted 
for under the acquisition method.  This method requires that, among other things, assets acquired and liabilities assumed 
be  recorded  at  their  fair  values  as  of  the  acquisition  date.    The  excess  of  the  consideration  transferred  over  those  fair 
values is recorded as goodwill.

The  goodwill  arising  from  this  transaction  is  deductible  for  income  tax  purposes,  and  is  assigned  to  the 
Company’s Wireless DataCom segment.  This goodwill is primarily attributable to the benefit of having an assembled 
workforce in New Zealand and the value that the Company expects to receive from the Supply Agreement beyond its 
five year term.

At the beginning of fiscal 2012, the Dataradio tradename, which was originally classified as an indefinite-lived 
asset  at  the  time  of  its  acquisition  in  2006,  was  determined  to  have  a  finite  useful  life  as  a  result  of  management’s 
decision to phase out the use of this tradename in the future. Consequently, in fiscal 2012 the Company began amortizing 
this asset over a period of seven years. 

Amortization  expense  of  intangible  assets  was  $1,743,000,  $1,277,000,  and  $1,132,000  for  the  years  ended 
February 28, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  All intangible asset amortization expense is attributable to the Wireless 
DataCom segment.  Estimated amortization expense in future fiscal years is as follows (in thousands):

NOTE 6 – FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS AND CONTRACTUAL CASH OBLIGATIONS 

Subordinated Promissory Notes 

On December 22, 2009 and January 15, 2010, the Company raised an aggregate amount of $5,000,000 from the 
issuance  of  subordinated  promissory  notes  (the  "Subordinated  Notes")  that  bore  interest  at  12%  per  annum  and  had  a 
maturity date of December 22, 2012.   On August 15, 2011, in conjunction with entering into the Fourth Amendment 
with Square 1 Bank, the Company paid in full the $5,000,000 outstanding principal balance of the Subordinated Notes 
plus accrued interest of approximately $76,000, which included Subordinated Notes totaling $325,000 that were held by 
two officers and one director of the Company.   

Bank Credit Facility 

On  March  1,  2013,  CalAmp  Corp.  (the  “Company”  or  “CalAmp”)  and  Square  1  Bank  entered  into  the  Eighth 
Amendment  (the  “Eighth  Amendment”)  to  the  Loan  and  Security  Agreement  dated  as  of  December  22,  2009  (as 
amended by the Eighth Amendment, the “Amended Loan Agreement”). The Eighth Amendment increased the maximum 
credit  limit  of  the  facility  from  $12  million  to  $15  million,  lowered  the  interest  rate  on  outstanding  borrowings  from 
prime plus 1.0% to prime, and extended the facility maturity date from August 15, 2014 to March 1, 2017.  The Eighth 
Amendment provided for a new $5 million term loan (the “New Term Loan”) that was fully funded on March 4, 2013,

which was just after the end of fiscal 2013.  Concurrent with funding the New Term Loan, the pre-existing term loan 
with an outstanding principal balance of $1.8 million was retired. Principal of the New Term Loan is repayable at the 
rate of $83,333 per month beginning April 2013, with a $1.1 million principal payment due at  maturity. The revolver 
portion of the Amended Loan Agreement has a borrowing limit equal to the lesser of (a) $15 million minus the term loan 
principal  outstanding  at  any  point  in  time,  or  (b)  85%  of  eligible  accounts  receivable.  There  were  no  borrowings 
outstanding on the revolver at the end of fiscal 2013 or 2012. Interest is payable on the last day of each calendar month.  
The Company agreed to pay loan fees to Square 1 Bank in connection with the Eighth Amendment of $7,500 on the first 
anniversary and $37,500 on each of the next three anniversaries of the New Term Loan.   

The Amended Loan Agreement contains financial covenants that require the Company to  maintain a  minimum 
level of earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization and other noncash charges ("EBITDA") and a 
minimum  debt  coverage  ratio,  both  measured  monthly  beginning  March  2013  on  a  rolling  12-month  basis.    At  and 
subsequent to February 28, 2013, the Company was in compliance with its debt covenants under the credit facility.  The 
credit facility also provides for a number of customary events of default, including a provision that a material adverse 
change  constitutes  an  event  of  default  that  permits  the  lender,  at  its  option,  to  accelerate  the  loan.    Among  other 
provisions,  the  credit  facility  requires  a  lock-box  and  cash  collateral  account  whereby  cash  remittances  from  the 
Company's customers are directed to the cash collateral account and which amounts are applied to reduce, if applicable, 
the outstanding revolving loan principal.

The Navman note is payable in the form of a 15% rebate on certain products sold by the Company to Navman 
under  the  Supply  Agreement.    The  unpaid  balance  of  the  Navman  note  would  become  immediately  due  and  payable 
upon  any  termination  of  the  Supply  Agreement  by  the  Company  before  the  end  of  its  five-year  term  (other  than  as  a 
result of an uncured breach of the Supply Agreement by Navman), except that in the case of such acceleration the note 
balance  would  be  subordinated  to  the  Company’s  bank  debt  pursuant  to  the  provisions  of  a  debt  subordination 
agreement.    In  the  absence  of  an  acceleration  event,  the  Navman  note  is  payable  solely  in  the  form  of  a  rebate  on 
products sold by CalAmp to Navman under the Supply Agreement.  After all rebates have been applied to pay down the 
note balance, and assuming that an acceleration event has not occurred, any unpaid balance remaining on the Navman 
note would be forgiven at the later of May 7, 2017 or the final date to which the Supply Agreement is extended pursuant 
to  a  force  majeure  event.    During  the  year  ended  February  28,  2013,  the  Company  made  principal  payments  in  the 
aggregate amount of $535,000 on the note.

The  Company  also  has  deferred  tax  assets  for  Canadian  income  tax  purposes  amounting  to  $4.3  million  at 
February  28,  2013  which  relate  primarily  to  research  and  development  expenditures  pool  and  non-capital  loss 
carryforwards.  The Company has provided a 100% valuation allowance against these Canadian deferred tax assets. 

During fiscal 2013, the Company reversed a portion of its deferred tax asset valuation allowance corresponding to 
the amount of NOLs utilized to offset taxable income.  In addition, pursuant to the fiscal 2013 evaluation of the future 
utilizability  of  deferred  tax  assets,  the  Company reversed substantially  all  of  the  remaining valuation  allowance  at  the 
end of fiscal 2013, resulting in an income tax benefit of $29.2 million for the year and a net deferred tax assets balance of 
$41.0 million at year-end.  The Company believes that it is more likely than not that the results of future operations will 
generate sufficient taxable income to realize the net deferred tax assets. 

At  February  28,  2013,  the  Company  had  net  operating  loss  carryforwards  ("NOLs")  of  approximately  $64.9 
million and $81.7 million for federal and state purposes, respectively, expiring at various dates through fiscal 2033.  If 
certain substantial changes in the Company’s ownership were to occur, there could be an annual limitation on the amount 
of the NOL carryforwards that can be utilized. 

In 2008, the State of California adopted legislation that suspended the use of NOLs for tax years beginning on 
or after January 1, 2008 and 2009.   In 2010, the suspension was extended two years through the end of 2011.   Under 
current California law the use of NOLs was reinstated for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2012.

As of February 28, 2013, the Company had a foreign tax credit carryforward of $0.2 million expiring in fiscal 
2014 and research and development (“R&D”) tax credit carryforwards of $4.6 million and $3.9 million for federal and 
state income tax purposes, respectively.  The federal R&D credits expire at various dates through 2033.  A substantial 
portion of the state R&D tax credits have no expiration date. 

In  2007,  the  Company  adopted  FASB  ASC  Topic  740,  “Income  Taxes,”  which  clarifies  the  accounting  for 
income  taxes  by  prescribing  a  minimum  recognition  threshold  that  a  tax  position  is  required  to  meet  before  being 
recognized in the financial statements.  Management determined based on its evaluation of the Company’s income tax 
positions that it has one uncertain tax position relating to federal research and development (“R&D”) tax credits of $1.1 
million at February 28, 2013 for which the Company has not yet recognized an income tax benefit for financial reporting 
purposes.   

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits for uncertain tax positions is as

pertaining to these open tax years. 

NOTE 8 – STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY 

Sale of Common Stock 

In February 2013, the Company raised cash of $44.8 million, net of underwriter discount and offering costs, from 

a public offering of 5,175,000 shares of its common stock.   

Equity Awards 

Under the Company's 2004 Incentive Stock Plan (the "2004 Plan"), which was adopted on July 30, 2004 and was 
amended  effective  July  30,  2009,  various  types  of  equity  awards  can  be  made,  including  stock  options,  stock 
appreciation  rights,  restricted  stock,  restricted  stock  units  (RSUs),  phantom  stock  and  bonus  stock.    To  date,  stock 
options, restricted stock, RSUs and bonus stock have been granted under the 2004 Plan.  Options are generally granted 
with exercise prices equal to market value on the date of grant.  Substantially all option grants expire 10 years after the 
date of grant.  

 Equity  awards  to  officers  and  other  employees  become  exercisable  on  a  vesting  schedule  established  by  the 
Compensation  Committee  of  the  Board  of  Directors  at  the  time  of  grant,  generally  over  a  four-year  period.    The 
Company treats an equity award with multiple vesting tranches as a single award for expense attribution purposes and 
recognizes compensation cost on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the entire award.

(2) The expected volatility is estimated based on historical volatility of the Company's stock price. 
(3) Based on the U.S. Treasury constant maturity interest rate whose term is consistent with the expected life of the stock options. 

The weighted average fair value for stock options granted in fiscal years 2013, 2012 and 2011 was $4.41, $2.22, 

and $1.54, respectively.   

The weighted average remaining contractual term and the aggregate intrinsic value of outstanding options as of 
February 28, 2013 was 4.9 years and $9.6 million, respectively.  The weighted average remaining contractual term and 
the aggregate intrinsic value of exercisable options as of February 28, 2013 was 4.2 years and $7.7 million, respectively.

As of February 28, 2013, there was $5.1 million of total unrecognized stock-based compensation cost related to 
nonvested equity awards.  That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average remaining vesting period of 
2.7 years. 

Tax Benefits from Exercise of Stock Options and Vesting of Restricted Stock and RSU Awards  

Total  cash  received  as  a  result  of  option  exercises  in  fiscal  2013  was  $912,000.    The  aggregate  fair  value  of 
options  exercised  and  vested  restricted  stock-based  awards  as  of  the  exercise  date  or  vesting  date  was  $8,795,000  for 
fiscal 2013.  In connection with these option exercises and vested restricted stock-based awards, the excess tax benefits 
were  $2,217,000  for  fiscal  2013.    The  Company  had  elected  a  policy  of  applying  the  “with-and-without”  approach  to 
determine realized tax benefits.  Under this policy, none of the current year excess deductions would have been deemed 
to reduce regular taxes payable because the Company’s NOL carryforwards would be deemed to reduce taxes payable 
prior to the utilization of any excess tax deductions from the exercise of stock options and vesting of restricted stock-
based  awards.    The  excess  tax  benefits  when  realized  by  the  Company  under  the  with-and-without  approach  will  be 
recorded as an increase in additional paid-in capital in the consolidated balance sheet and will be classified as cash flows 
from financing activities rather than cash flows from operating activities in the consolidated cash flow statement.  The 
cumulative amount of unrecognized excess tax benefits for all years through the end of fiscal 2013 were $2,786,000.

Stock Warrants 

In fiscal 2010, the Company issued a total of 500,000 common stock purchase warrants to the Subordinated Note 
holders at an exercise price of $4.02 per share, which represented a 20% premium  to the average closing price of the 
Company's  common  stock  for  the  20  consecutive  trading  days  prior  to  December  22,  2009.    These  warrants  were 
exercisable until December 22, 2012.  During fiscal 2013, the Company received cash of $1,879,000 from the exercise of 
467,500 common stock purchase warrants that were held by non-affiliates of the Company.  In addition, the Company 
retained 15,850 shares to pay for the exercise price of 32,500 warrants held directly or beneficially by two officers and 
one director of the Company that were exercised on a net share settlement basis.    

In October 2009, the Company issued 20,000 common stock purchase warrants to a key supplier at an exercise 

price of $1.00 per share.  These warrants became vested in April 2010 and were exercised during fiscal 2013.

Shares underlying stock options amounting to 322,000 at February 28, 2013 were excluded from the calculations 
of  diluted  earnings  per  share  for  fiscal  2013  because  based  on  the  exercise  prices  of  these  derivative  securities  their 
inclusion would have been anti-dilutive under the treasury stock method. 

Shares underlying stock options and warrants amounting to 907,000 at February 28, 2012 were excluded from the 
calculations  of  diluted  earnings  per  share  for  fiscal  2012  because  based  on  the  exercise  prices  of  these  derivative 
securities their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive under the treasury stock method. 

Shares underlying stock awards and warrants amounting to 4,673,000 at February 28, 2011 were excluded from 
the computation of diluted earnings per share for fiscal 2011 because the Company reported a net loss during that year 
and hence the effect of inclusion would have been anti-dilutive (i.e., including such securities would have resulted in a 
lower loss per share).

NOTE 11 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES 

Operating Lease Commitments 

The  Company  leases  a  building  in  Oxnard,  California  that  houses  its  corporate  office  and  U.S.  manufacturing 
facilities under an operating lease that expires on June 30, 2016.  The lease agreement requires the Company to pay all 
maintenance,  property  taxes  and  insurance  premiums  associated  with  the  building.    In  addition,  the  Company  leases 
other  facilities  in  California,  Minnesota,  Georgia,  Canada  and  New  Zealand.  The  Company  also  leases  certain 
manufacturing  equipment  and  office  equipment  under  operating  lease  arrangements.    A  summary  of  future  operating

Supplier Guarantee 

The  Company  has  guaranteed  the  debt  of  a  supplier  to  a  third  party.  The  Company  has  recourse  against  the 

supplier in the event that the Company is required to make a payment to the third party under the guaranty. 

NOTE 12 – LEGAL PROCEEDINGS 

From time to time as a normal consequence of doing business, various claims and litigation may be asserted or 
commenced  against  the  Company.    In  particular,  the  Company  in  the  ordinary  course  of  business  may  receive  claims 
concerning contract performance, or claims that its products or services infringe the intellectual property of third parties. 
While the outcome of any such claims or litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not believe that 
the outcome of any of such matters existing at the present time would have a material adverse effect on the Company's 
consolidated financial position or results of operations.

The  Company  considers  operating  income  to  be  the  primary  measure  of  operating  performance  of  its  business 
segments.  The amount shown for each period in the "Corporate Expenses" column above consists of expenses that are 
not allocated to the business segments.  These non-allocated corporate expenses include salaries and benefits of certain 
executive  officers  and  expenses  such  as  audit  fees,  investor  relations,  stock  listing  fees,  director  and  officer  liability 
insurance, and director fees and expenses.   

It  is  not  practicable  for  the  Company  to  report  identifiable  assets  by  segment  because  these  businesses  share 

resources, functions and facilities. The Company does not have significant long-lived assets outside the United States.

The Company's revenues were derived mainly from customers in the United States, which represented 82%, 89% 
and 91% of consolidated revenues in fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  No single foreign country accounted for 
more than 5% of the Company's revenue in fiscal 2013, 2012 or 2011. 

NOTE 14 – EMPLOYEE SAVINGS PLAN  

The Company maintains a 401(k) Employee Savings Plan in the U.S. and retirement savings plans in Canada and 
New Zealand in which all employees of these respective countries are eligible to participate.  The Company may make 
matching  contributions  to  the  savings  plans  as  authorized  by  the  Board  of  Directors.    The  Company  reinstated  the 
matching contributions to the U.S. and Canadian savings plans effective at the beginning of calendar 2011 equal to one-
half of the first 4% of participants’ compensation contributed to the plans.  The New Zealand savings plan provides for 
matching  contributions  equal  to  the  first  2%  of  participants’  compensation  contributed  to  the  plan.    The  Company 
recorded  expense  for  the  matching  contributions  of  $355,000,  $312,000  and  $58,000  in  fiscal  years  2013,  2012  and 
2011, respectively.

NOTE 16 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS 

New Bank Term Loan  

On March 4, 2013, the Company entered into a new term loan with Square 1 Bank and paid off an existing term 

loan that had an outstanding principal balance of $1.8 million. See Note 6 for additional details. 

Wireless Matrix Acquisition  

On  March 4, 2013,  the  Company  completed  the  acquisition of  all  outstanding  capital  stock of Wireless  Matrix 
USA, Inc. (“Wireless Matrix”).  Under the terms of the agreement, the Company acquired Wireless Matrix for a cash 
payment of $52.9 million, subject to adjustment. The assets acquired by the Company included cash of approximately $6 
million.  The  Company  funded  the  purchase  price  from  the  net  proceeds  of  its  recently  completed  equity  offering  of  
$44.8 million, the net proceeds from the new bank term loan described above, and cash on hand.

The Company has not yet obtained all information required to complete the purchase price allocation related to 
this  acquisition.    The  final  allocation  will  be  completed  in  fiscal  2014.    Following  is  the  unaudited  preliminary 
purchase price allocation (in thousands):

The  Company  paid  a  premium  (i.e.,  goodwill)  over  the  fair  value  of  the  net  tangible  and  identified  intangible 
assets  acquired.      The  Company  expects  to  leverage  Wireless  Matrix’s  mobile  workforce  management  and  asset 
tracking  applications  to  build  upon  its  current  product  offerings  for  its  customers  in  the  Energy,  Government  and 
Transportation  markets.    It  also  believes  an  opportunity  exists  to  expand  its  turnkey  offerings  to  global  enterprise 
customers  in  new  vertical  markets  such  as  Construction,  Agriculture  and  Mining,  among  others.    The  Company 
believes  that  this  acquisition  will  accelerate  its  development  roadmap,  enable  it  to  offer  higher  margin  turnkey 
solutions  for new  and  existing  customers,  and further  increase  its  relevance  with  mobile  network operators  and  key 
channel partners in the global M2M marketplace. 

      The goodwill arising from the Wireless Matrix acquisition is not deductible for income tax purposes. 

      Following is unaudited supplemental pro forma information presented as if the acquisition had occurred on March 
1,  2011.    The  pro  forma  financial  information  is  not  necessarily  indicative  of  what  the  Company's  actual  results  of 
operations  would  have  been  had  Wireless  Matrix  been  included  in  the  Company's  historical  consolidated  financial 
statements  for  years  ended  February  28,  2013  and  2012.    In  addition,  the  pro  forma  financial  information  does  not 
attempt to project the future results of operations of the combined company.

Matrix’s three-month period ended April 30, 2012 is included in the pro forma revenue and net income (loss) for both 
12-month periods.  Wireless Matrix had revenues and a net loss of $8,883,000 and $(187,000), respectively, in this 
duplicated three-month period.

12-month  periods  related  to  the  estimated  fair  value  of  identifiable  intangible  assets  arising  from  the  preliminary 
purchase price allocation.

financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. 

The  Company’s  management  has  assessed  the  effectiveness  of  the  Company's  internal  control  over  financial 
reporting as of February 28, 2013.  In making this assessment, management used criteria set forth by the Committee of 
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in "Internal Control - Integrated Framework".   Based 
on  its  assessment,  management  of  the  Company  has  concluded  that  as  of  February  28,  2013  the  Company's  internal 
control over financial reporting is effective based on those criteria.  

The  effectiveness  of  the  Company’s  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  as  of  February  28,  2013  has  been 
audited  by  SingerLewak  LLP,  an  independent  registered  public  accounting  firm,  as  stated  in  their  report  which  is 
included in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report.  

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting 

There  were  no  changes  in  the  Company's  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  during  the  fourth  quarter  of 
fiscal  2013  that  have  materially  affected,  or  are  reasonably  likely  to  materially  affect,  the  Company's  internal  control 
over financial reporting.
