JOHN LARSON NAMED PRESIDENT AND CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER OF ESCORT INC.

John Larson, a senior executive at General Motors and, presently, the General Manager of the Buick-Pontiac-GMC Division, has accepted the position of President and Chief Operating Officer of Escort Inc.

Larson assumes his new responsibilities in June.

"Attracting a person of John's talent and skills is a major win for Escort," said Greg Blair, Escort's Chief Executive Officer. "His outstanding leadership skills, combined with his successful automotive industry background, will be invaluable to our Company's future success."

Larson comes to Escort after a distinguished career at General Motors Corporation. Over the past 20 years he has held several increasingly-responsible positions in sales, marketing and financial management.

"While it is difficult to leave my position at GM, the opportunity at Escort was simply too attractive to ignore," said Larson. "Escort has achieved tremendous success over the past decade and is primed for even greater growth in the future. I anxiously await the opportunity."

Escort Inc. is the leading manufacturer of high performance radar detectors, laser detectors, and vehicle performance computers. It manufactures products under the Escort, Passport, Solo, Vector and Beltronics names.

The company is headquartered in West Chester, Ohio with its principal manufacturing facility located in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada.
