Acquires SecurityInc and Affiliate
Companies
Total Deal Expected to Generate Revenue More Than $7M in 2007
Arlington, VA, August 23, 2006 -- Homeland Security Capital Corp. (OTC Bulletin Board: HMSC), a company engaged in the acquisition, development and consolidation of homeland security-related businesses, announced today that it has acquired Milwaukee-based SecurityInc, LLC and two affiliate companies in a merger transaction with Security Holding Corp., a newly formed subsidiary of Homeland Security Capital. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
SecurityInc is a single-source manufacturer of electronic access control solutions using active radio frequency identification (RFID) technology. These systems are designed for use by the commercial and government sectors. The company markets its products through an established network of system integrators and authorized distributors.
As part of the transaction, Homeland Security Capital will also acquire SecurityInc’s two affiliate companies Cyberlynk, an IT support company for enterprise applications, and AAID Security Solutions, a Georgia-based leading active RFID solutions supplier. Homeland Security Capital will own a controlling interest in Security Holding Corp.
In total, the acquired companies generated approximately $3 million in revenues in 2005 and are expected to produce more than $7 million in 2007.
Joel Konicek, founder of SecurityInc and CEO of Security Holding Corp., said, “We expect to continue building profitable market share in the fast-growing RFID solutions sector, which we believe will exceed $4.4 billion in sales by 2008. With more than 2,000 installed systems, AAID already has one of the largest installed bases of active RFID product solutions in the United States. This is an outstanding platform from which to build a significant RFID-enabled solutions company in a highly fragmented industry.”
This transaction is the second acquisition made by Homeland Security Capital Corp. in 2006. So far this year, Homeland Security Capital acquired Nexus Technologies Group and has signed a letter of intent to acquire Viscom Systems.
C. Thomas McMillen, Homeland Security Capital chairman and CEO, said, “This is an important step in our plan to build a strong portfolio of companies in the homeland security industry. We are particularly pleased to have Joel Konicek as part of our team. As founder of Northern Computers, he brings not only proven operating experience but substantial knowledge of the industry that will be invaluable to us going forward.”
Konicek said, “I will work with Tom to build our companies and help create shareholder value. We have numerous opportunities for growth. Being part of Homeland Security Capital provides us with valuable new resources that should enable us to expand and take advantage of consolidation opportunities and participate more effectively in the homeland defense effort.”
