Aura Systems Receives Chrysler Corporation's Design Excellence Award for its AuraGen(TM) Mobile Generator

               Provides Emergency Electric Power from Vehicles

    EL SEGUNDO, Calif., Nov. 7 -- Chrysler Corp. has
given its Design Excellence Award to Aura Systems for the
AuraGen(TM) Mobile Generator.  The award is "in recognition of aftermarket
innovation and quality," and comes from the identification of those
aftermarket products that can have an important impact on the acceptance and
sale of Chrysler vehicles.
    Mr. Dennis Myles of Chrysler presented the award.  The award represented
the integrated judgment of a team of Chrysler marketing, design and
engineering personnel who reviewed the product applications being shown at the
1997 Specialty Equipment Market Association/Auto International (SEMA/AI) Show
in Las Vegas, November 4-7.  The show has over 60,000 attendees and
1,100 exhibitors, including original equipment manufacturers such as Chrysler.
    The AuraGen(TM) was the only product selected for an award under the
vehicle performance component category.  The AuraGen(TM) Mobile Generator
provides 5,000 watts of high quality, 120/240 VAC under-the-hood power even at
low engine speed, providing responsive mobile power as required for industry,
commerce, recreation and emergency response.
    Aura Systems is a world leader and producer of electromagnetic and
electro-optics devices, including the AuraGen(TM) Mobile Generator and its
patented High Fidelity Actuator, AuraSound(TM) Speakers, Bass Shakers(TM),
Electronic Variable Valve Actuators (EVA), and the Actuated Mirror Array(TM)
ultra bright large screen television and computer monitor display hardware.
In September, Aura completed an initial public offering of its NewCom(TM)
subsidiary retaining approximately 72%; NewCom is a leader in
computer peripheral systems, including modems, multimedia kits and
Web/Internal access boxes for the home.
