MARKLAND TECHNOLOGIES INC. ANNOUNCES PRELIMINARY FIRST QUARTER REVENUES
(UN-AUDITED) OF $15.75M

RIDGEFIELD, CT--(MARKET WIRE) Markland Technologies, Inc. (OTC BB:MRKL)
(http://www.marklandtech.com), an integrated homeland security company,
announced that on a preliminary un-audited basis, it expects revenue of
approximately $4,800,000 for the month of September 2004 and approximately
$15,750,000 for its fiscal first quarter ended September 30,2004. This
represents a significant increase year over year. A substantial of this increase
in fiscal first quarter revenues is attributable to the recent acquisition of
its wholly owned subsidiary EOIR Technologies Inc. by Markland.

EOIR's revenues derive principally from an active contract with the U.S. Army
Night Vision Laboratories. EOIR has over 150 employees located in several
Virginia facilities. EOIR has substantial experience in the design of remote
sensor technology particularly in the areas of capturing, processing and
exploiting sensor data. Its expertise has particular impact within the DOD and
Homeland Security market place.

Markland CEO/Chairman Robert Tarini stated that, "The Markland business model is
working well and the business segment managers are working to create additional
organic revenue growth. We are actively exploring additional synergistic
corporate acquisitions specifically in the areas of bio-terrorism and
intelligence gathering. Gross revenues fiscal year to date continue to be very
encouraging."
