focused on developing and commercializing asset tracking and monitoring
devices for vehicles and high value cargo, today announced the signing of
a term sheet with Haeng Bo Cha Partners to enter into a Japan-based Joint
Venture to sell and distribute NavStar products and services in Japan.

    N. Douglas Pritt, Chairman and CEO, confirmed that negotiations have been

support the monitoring and tracking services. NavStar will transfer rights
to their technology and "know how" in the form of a license agreement in
exchange for a fee in excess of $1.0M. The exact ownership structure is
still under discussion but NavStar will be the majority owner. The term
sheet is not binding and conclusion of the deal is subject to completion
of a final approval process by the NavStar board of directors.

tracking hardware and services to large and small transportation companies
in Japan and other Asian countries," stated N. Douglas Pritt, Chairman &
