    Amerigon develops, manufactures and markets proprietary high technology
products for automotive original equipment manufacturers (OEMs).  Its
proprietary Climate Control Seat(TM) (CCS) system, which is integrated into a
vehicle seat, significantly enhances individual driver and passenger comfort
in virtually all climatic conditions by providing cooling and heating to seat
occupants, as desired, through an active, thermoelectric-based temperature
management system.
    CCS is currently offered as an option on the new model year 2001 Lexus
LS430 luxury sedan and the 2001 Lincoln Navigator sports utility vehicle.  It
was first introduced as an option for the model year 2000 Lincoln Navigator
and since that time more than 55,000 CCS systems have been shipped.  CCS has
also been chosen to be a standard feature in the all new model year 2002
Lincoln Blackwood luxury utility vehicle, which was debuted in early September
and is scheduled to be in dealer showrooms in the Spring of 2001.

    Certain matters discussed on the conference call, including operating
expenses, customer demand, profitability, increase in sales volume, the number
of platforms using CCS, new technological developments, and the Company's
prospects for the development of relationships with other major automotive
manufacturers, are forward-looking statements that involve risks and
uncertainties, and actual results may be different.  Such risks and
uncertainties include the acceptance and performance of the Company's
products, the Company's ability to develop new products successfully and the
ability to obtain new sources of financing.  Please also refer to the
Company's Securities and Exchange Commission reports, including but not
limited to the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999.
