         The selling stockholders are offering and selling shares of our common
stock only to those persons and in those in jurisdictions where these offers and
sales are permitted.

                             ---------------------

         You should rely only on the information contained in this prospectus,
as amended and supplemented from time to time. We have not authorized anyone to
provide you with information that is different from that contained in this
prospectus. If anyone provides you with different or inconsistent information,
you should not rely on it. The information in this prospectus is complete and
accurate only as of the date of the front cover regardless of the time of
delivery or of any sale of shares. Neither the delivery of this prospectus nor
any sale made hereunder shall under any circumstances create an implication that
there has been no change in our affairs since the date hereof.

                             ---------------------

         This prospectus has been prepared based on information provided by us
and by other sources that we believe are reliable. This prospectus summarizes
information and documents in a manner we believe to be accurate, but we refer
you to the actual documents or the agreements we entered into for additional
information of what we discuss in this prospectus.

                             ---------------------




         We issue from time to time securities convertible or exercisable into
common stock. We cannot predict the actual number of shares that we will be
required to issue upon exercise or conversion because this number depends on
variables that cannot be known precisely until the conversion or exercise date.
The most significant of these variables is the closing price of our common stock
on a certain day or during certain specified periods of time. Nevertheless, we
can estimate the number of shares of common stock that may be issued using
certain assumptions (including but not limited to assuming a conversion and/or
exercise date). These calculated values include the number of outstanding shares
as of March 14, 2005, the closing price of our common stock as of March 11, 2005
2005 and March 14, 2005; the closing bid price of our common stock for the last
five trading days ending March 11, 2005 or the last twenty trading days ending
on March 11, 2005, as applicable. These calculations are illustrative only and
will change based, among other things, on changes in the market price of our
common stock and the number of outstanding shares.

                             ---------------------

         In making a decision to invest in our common stock, you must conduct
your own evaluation of the information provided including, among other things,
of our company; its business, financial condition and results of operations, the
terms of this offering and the common stock, our capital structure, our recent
acquisitions and the risks factors and uncertainties. You should not consider
any information in this prospectus to be legal, business, tax or other advice.
You should consult your own attorney, business advisor and tax advisor for
legal, business and tax advice regarding an investment in the common stock due
to your particular circumstances.

                               PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

         THIS SUMMARY HIGHLIGHTS MATERIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED ELSEWHERE IN
THIS PROSPECTUS BUT DOES NOT CONTAIN ALL OF THE INFORMATION YOU SHOULD CONSIDER
IN MAKING YOUR INVESTMENT DECISION. YOU SHOULD READ THIS SUMMARY TOGETHER WITH
THE MORE DETAILED INFORMATION, INCLUDING OUR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND THE

FACTORS" BEGINNING ON PAGE 7.

                                    BUSINESS

         Markland Technologies, Inc. ("Markland", the "Company" or "we") is an
integrated homeland security and defense company incorporated under the laws of
the State of Florida.

         WHO WE ARE

         We are the successor to a variety of businesses dating back to 1995.
Our business, as it exists today, consists of five business areas: sensor
systems for military and intelligence applications; chemical detectors; border
security systems; imaging and surveillance; and advanced technologies.

         We provide to the United States Department of Defense ("DOD") and to
various other United States Intelligence Agencies ("INTEL") remote sensing
technology products, and services to protect our country's military personnel
and infrastructure assets. We also provide to the Department of Homeland
Security ("Homeland Security"): products, services and emerging technologies to
protect our country's borders, infrastructure assets and personnel. Our mission
is to build world-class integrated solutions for the Homeland Security, DOD and
INTEL marketplaces through expansion of our existing contracts, development of
our emerging technologies and acquisition of revenue producing assets.

         As result of the acquisition of EOIR Technologies, Inc. ("EOIR") in
June 2004, now a wholly-owned subsidiary of Markland, our primary source of
operating revenues is sales of remote sensing technology products and services
to the DOD and to various other INTEL. We expect that our remote sensing
technology products and services will continue to be our most significant
revenue-producing business areas going forward. Prior to the acquisition of
EOIR, our primary sources of operating revenue were sales of our automatic
chemical agent detection and alarm system, border security logistics products
and services, and Small Business Innovation Research funded research grants for
the development of gas plasma antenna technology.

         Our strategy is to grow through organic means through increased
acceptance by our customers of our present products and services offerings and
also through acquisitions of assets that provide products or services to
Homeland Security, DOD, or INTEL.

the same time, Technest acquired all of the capital stock of Genex Technologies,
Inc. (whom we refer to in this prospectus as Genex) a private company with
expertise in imaging and surveillance whose primary customer is the U.S.
Department of Defense. Technest financed the acquisition of Genex through the
private placement of securities to sophisticated investors. We structured the
acquisition of Genex in this manner to comply with covenants in our financing
agreements and facilitate the financing of the acquisition.

         MARKLAND'S ACQUISITION OF TECHNEST. We acquired 412,650,577 shares of
Technest's common stock in exchange for 10,168,764 shares of Markland common
stock and our agreement to issue shares of our common stock upon conversion of
Technest Series B preferred stock. The offer and sale of these securities was
made pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and
rules adopted thereunder (the "Securities Act"). As a result of this
transaction, we own approximately 93% of Technest's common stock on a primary
basis and approximately 39% of Technest common stock on a fully diluted basis
(assuming the conversion of all of Technest's convertible securities and the
exercise of all warrants to purchase Technest's common stock). Technest's common
stock is quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board under the symbol "THNS."
We do not intend to take Technest private.

         Robert Tarini, our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board,
was appointed the Chief Executive Officer and a Director of Technest. Technest's
only other director is Mark Allen. In addition, Gino M. Pereira, our Chief
Financial Officer, was appointed Chief Financial Officer of Technest and Dr.
Joseph P. Mackin, our Chief Operating Officer and a Director of Markland, was
appointed President of Technest. Our executive officers will split their time
between Markland and Technest. They will not be able to devote all of their time
to Markland.

         TECHNEST'S FINANCING. Technest financed the acquisition of Genex with
the sale of 1,149,425 shares of Technest Series B preferred stock (which is
convertible into our common stock), five-year warrants to purchase up to
242,735,571 shares of Technest common stock for an exercise price of $.0307 per
share, and 1,149,425 shares of Technest Series C preferred stock convertible
into 242,735,571 shares of Technest's common stock. Technest received gross
proceeds of $5,000,000 in this offering. The purchasers in this offering
included (i) Southridge Partners, LP, DKR Soundshore Oasis Holding Fund, Ltd.,
and DKR Soundshore Strategic Holding Fund, Ltd. (who are also selling
stockholder named in this prospectus), (ii) ipPartners, Inc., a company
controlled by Robert Tarini, our Chief Executive Officer, and (iii) other
investors. The offer and sale of these securities was made pursuant to Section
4(2) of the Securities Act. In this prospectus, we refer to these investors
collectively as the Investors.

         Mr. Tarini was one of the investors in this private placement through
ipPartners Inc., a company wholly- owned by Mr. Tarini. ipPartners Inc. invested
$625,000 in this offering and received 143,678 shares of Technest Series B
preferred stock, 143,678 shares of Technest Inc. C preferred stock, and warrants
to purchase 30,341,920 shares of Technest common stock.

                                        2


         In connection with the Genex Transactions, the Board of Directors of
Technest and the holders of a majority of the common stock of Technest approved
a 1 for 211.18 reverse split of Technest's outstanding common stock. The reverse
split will become effective not less than 20 days after an information statement
relating to the reverse split is filed with the SEC and is mailed to the
stockholders of Technest in accordance with Section 14C of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and rules adopted thereunder, (the "Exchange
Act").

         TECHNEST'S ACQUISITION OF GENEX. Technest paid $3,000,000 in cash and
transferred 10,168,764 shares of Markland stock to Jason Geng, the sole
stockholder of Genex for all of the capital stock of Genex. As a result of this
transaction, Genex Technologies, Inc. became a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Technest. Jason Geng's share consideration will be adjusted to reflect changes
in the closing bid price of our common stock in the 10 trading days following
February 14, 2005. In addition, the Merger Agreement provides for Mr. Geng to
receive a six month unsecured promissory note in the principal amount of
$550,000 that accrues interest at the rate of 6% per year. Also, if Genex meets
specified revenue goals at the end of each of the first three years following
February 14, 2005, Technest will pay to Mr. Geng contingent consideration of
additional shares of Technest common stock equal to the fair market value of 30%
of the difference in Genex's gross revenue during the year proceeding the
payment and its gross revenue in 2004. Finally, if the Intraoral Technologies
are commercialized, Mr. Geng shall be entitled to 50% of all profits generated
from the Intraoral Technologies for a period of five years following February
14, 2005.

         BUSINESS OF GENEX. Genex, a private company incorporated under the laws
of the State of Maryland, was founded in 1995. Genex offers imaging products and
complete solutions for three-dimensional imaging and display, intelligent
surveillance, and three-dimensional facial recognition. It has both a research
and development team as well as two product teams, one with a focus on
Government products and one with a focus on commercial products. Genex currently
has approximately 32 employees.

         DILUTION TO OUR STOCKHOLDERS. Our stockholders experienced significant
dilution as a result of these transactions. The Markland shares issued to Jason
Geng on February 14, 2005 represent approximately 11% of our outstanding stock
on the date of issuance. In addition, we are obligated to issue shares of our
common stock upon conversion of Technest's Series B preferred stock. The number
of shares of our common stock that we will be obligated to issue will be equal
to 5,000,000 divided by the lower of (a) $0.60 or (b) the average bid price for
our common stock during the 20 trading days prior to the first date on which the
Series B preferred stock may be converted.

         AUDITED FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF TECHNEST AND GENEX. Audited financial
statements and unaudited pro forma information for Technest and Genex for the
fiscal years ended December 31, 2003 and 2004 will become available in due
course as Markland and Technest comply with their ongoing Exchange Act reporting
requirements in accordance with SEC rules. The current lack of such information,
among other factors, makes an investment in Markland's common stock speculative.

                          OTHER RECENT CORPORATE EVENTS

         WE HAVE NOT PREPAID THE SEPTEMBER 21, 2004 AND NOVEMBER 9, 2004 NOTES
ON MARCH 15, 2005

         We have not prepaid the September 21, 2004 and November 9, 2004 notes
on March 15, 2005. Failure to prepay these notes does not constitute an event of
default

         Because we have not prepaid the notes, the conversion price of these
notes and exercise price of the warrants issued on September 21, 2004 and
November 9, 2004 has been adjusted. The conversion price of the notes has been
adjusted to a floating rate equal to the lower of (i) 80% of the average closing
price for the trailing five trading days prior to the date of conversion and
(ii) $0.80. Due to the conversion mechanics of the notes, decreases in the
conversion price result in an increase in the total number of shares issuable
upon conversion.

                                        3


         Based on our closing bid price of our common stock for the last five
days ending March 11, 2005, if the notes were converted, we would have to issue
approximately 20,449,843 shares of our common stock upon conversion of the
notes. The number of shares that we may be obligated to issue would increase if
our stock price declined. Based on our closing bid price of our common stock for
the last five trading days prior to March 11, 2005 and our fully diluted
outstanding common stock as of March 11, 2005, these shares will represent
approximately 23% of our outstanding common stock upon issuance.

         However, the number of shares to be acquired by each of the holders of
the notes upon conversion cannot exceed the number of shares that, when combined
with all other shares of common stock and securities then owned by each holder
and its affiliates, would result in any one of them owning more than 9.99% of
our outstanding common stock at any point in time. The holder of the notes may
not waive this limitation.

         The selling stockholders are offering up to 16,758,690 shares of our

DECEMBER 7, 2004 PRIVATE PLACEMENT

         On December 7, 2004 we entered into an agreement with Trilogy Capital

perform the functions of an in-house investor relations officer for us. In
return, we issued to Trilogy warrants to purchase four million (4,000,000)
shares of our common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, with an exercise price
of $0.60 per share. In connection with this transaction, on December 7, 2004 we
issued warrants to purchase four-hundred-thousand (400,000) shares of our common
stock to Michael Rosenblum, an unaffiliated consultant who assisted us in
contacting Trilogy. The offer and sale of these securities was made in reliance
on Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. We did not receive any proceeds from the

JANUARY 7, 2005 PRIVATE PLACEMENT

         On January 5, 2005, we entered into an agreement with James LLC, the

9.99% of our common stock, (the "Preferred Stock Restriction Agreement")to
restrict, among other things, the sale of Series D preferred stock and shares of
common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series D preferred stock.

         In consideration for entering into Preferred Stock Restriction
Agreement dated January 5, 2005, on January 7, 2005, we issued warrants to

Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. We did not receive any proceeds from the
sale of these securities.

FEBRUARY 7, 2005 AND MARCH 10, 2005 PRIVATE PLACEMENTS

         Between December 28, 2004 and February 7, 2005, we entered into

Holding Fund Ltd. and DKR Soundshore Strategic Holding Fund Ltd., Greenfield
Capital Partners, Richard Rosenblum, David Stefansky and Southridge Partners, LP
and Harborview Master Fund LP, effectively reducing the exercise price to $0.60.
In consideration for entering into these arrangements,

o        On February 7, 2005, we issued warrants to purchase five hundred
         sixty-eight thousand seven hundred fifty (568,750) shares of common
         stock to Southridge Partners LP, warrants to purchase one million six
         hundred twenty-five thousand (1,625,000) shares of common stock to

         hundred forty-three thousand seven hundred fifty (2,943,750) shares of
         common stock at an exercise price of $0.60 per share at any time and
         from time to time through, February 7, 2010.

                                  RISK FACTORS

         ANY INVESTMENT IN OUR COMMON STOCK INVOLVES A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK. YOU
SHOULD CONSIDER CAREFULLY THE RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES DESCRIBED BELOW, AND ALL
OTHER INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS PROSPECTUS, BEFORE YOU DECIDE WHETHER TO
PURCHASE OUR COMMON STOCK. ADDITIONAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES NOT CURRENTLY
KNOWN TO US OR THAT WE CURRENTLY DEEM IMMATERIAL MAY ALSO BECOME IMPORTANT
FACTORS THAT MAY HARM OUR BUSINESS. THE OCCURRENCE OF ANY OF THE FOLLOWING RISKS
COULD HARM OUR BUSINESS. THE TRADING PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK COULD DECLINE DUE
TO ANY OF THESE RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES, AND YOU MAY LOSE PART OR ALL OF YOUR
INVESTMENT.

         THIS SECTION IS ORGANIZED AS FOLLOWS: (I) RISKS RELATED TO MARKLAND,
(II) RISKS RELATED TO OUR CAPITAL STRUCTURE AND THIS OFFERING,(III) RISKS
RELATING TO OUR INVESTMENT IN TECHNEST, (IV) RISKS RELATING TO INVESTING IN A
CONTROLLED COMPANY; (V) RISKS RELATED TO HOMELAND SECURITIES AND DEFENSE
INDUSTRIES; (VI) RISKS RELATED TO NEW CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STANDARDS AND (VII)
RISKS RELATING TO INVESTING IN ILLIQUID AND LOW-PRICED SECURITIES

                            RISKS RELATED TO MARKLAND

BECAUSE WE RECENTLY ACQUIRED OUR MOST IMPORTANT SUBSIDIARY, IT IS DIFFICULT TO
EVALUATE OUR BUSINESS AND FUTURE OPERATING RESULTS.

         We derive substantially all of our revenues from the operations of our
subsidiary, EOIR. We acquired this company on June 30, 2004. Our limited
operating history makes it difficult to evaluate our business and expected
results.

WE HAVE A HISTORY OF OPERATING LOSSES, AND THERE IS NO ASSURANCE THAT WE WILL
ACHIEVE PROFITABILITY IN THE FUTURE. IF WE DO NOT ACHIEVE PROFITABILITY, OUR
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND OUR STOCK PRICE COULD SUFFER.

         We have a history of operating losses. We cannot predict when, or if,
we will ever achieve profitability. Our current business operations began in
2002 and have resulted in losses in each fiscal year. Our accumulated deficit as
of June 30, 2004 was $20,283,948, and as of December 31, 2004 $29,537,161
(unaudited). We will need to generate significant revenues to achieve
profitability. But there can be no assurance that we will be able to do so. Even
if we do achieve profitability, we may not be able to sustain or increase
profitability on a quarterly or annual basis in the future. If we continue to
experience operating losses, you may lose all or part of your investment.

                                        7


WE HAVE A GOING-CONCERN QUALIFICATION IN THE REPORTS BY OUR INDEPENDENT
REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRMS FOR OUR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS
ENDED JUNE 30, 2004, AND JUNE 30, 2003, WHICH MAY MAKE CAPITAL RAISING MORE
DIFFICULT AND MAY REQUIRE US TO SCALE BACK OR CEASE OPERATIONS, PUTTING OUR
INVESTORS' FUNDS AT RISK.

         The reports of our independent registered public accounting firms, for
fiscal years 2004 and 2003, includes a going-concern qualification, which
indicates an absence of obvious or reasonably assured sources of future funding
that will be required by us to maintain ongoing operations. If we are unable to
obtain additional funding, we may not be able to continue operations. In fiscal
year 2004, we raised a total of $15,345,000 in new capital. Since June 30, 2004,
we raised $5,350,000 in the form of convertible promissory notes. For the
quarter ended December 31, 2004, proceeds from the exercise of warrants totaled
$1,181,250. There is no guarantee that we will be able to attract additional
equity or debt investors. To date, we have funded our operations through equity
investments and issuances of debt. Additionally, we had an accumulated deficit
of $20,283,948 as of June 30, 2004 and $29,537,161 (unaudited) as of December
31, 2004. This deficit indicates that we may be unable to meet our future
obligations unless we obtain additional sources of funding.

IF WE CANNOT OBTAIN ADDITIONAL CAPITAL REQUIRED TO FUND OUR OPERATIONS AND
FINANCE OUR GROWTH OUR BUSINESS, OPERATING RESULTS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION MAY
SUFFER AND THE PRICE OF OUR STOCK MAY DECLINE.

         The development of our technologies will require additional capital,
and our business plan is to acquire additional revenue-producing assets. We
incurred net losses applicable to our common stockholders of $15,095,461 and
$7,598,852 for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2004 and June 30, 2003
respectively and $8,007,192 (unaudited) and $988,310 (unaudited) for the
quarters ended December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003. Additionally, we had a
working capital deficiency of $1,860,317 (unaudited) as of December 31, 2004. We
may be unable to obtain additional funds in a timely manner or on acceptable
terms, which would render us unable to fund our operations or expand our
business. If we are unable to obtain capital when needed, we may have to
restructure our business or delay or abandon our development and expansion
plans. If this occurs, the price of our common stock may decline and you may
lose part or all of your investment.

         Although we have been successful in the past in obtaining financing for
working capital and acquisitions, we will have ongoing capital needs as we
expand our business. If we raise additional funds through the sale of equity or
convertible securities, your ownership percentage of our common stock will be
reduced. In addition, these transactions may dilute the value of our common
stock. We may have to issue securities that have rights, preferences and
privileges senior to our common stock. The terms of any additional indebtedness
may include restrictive financial and operating covenants that would limit our
ability to compete and expand.

WE HAVE GROWN QUICKLY, IF WE CANNOT EFFECTIVELY MANAGE OUR GROWTH, OUR BUSINESS
MAY SUFFER.

         We have rapidly and significantly expanded operations through the
acquisitions of Science Technology Research Corporation ("STR") in October 2003,
EOIR in June 2004 and Genex in February 2005. This growth has placed, and is
expected to continue to place, a strain on our personnel, management, financial
and other resources. Some of our officers have no prior senior management
experience at public companies. Our new employees include a number of key
managerial, technical and operations personnel who have not yet been fully
integrated into our operations. To manage our growth effectively, we must, among
other things:

         o        upgrade and expand our manufacturing facilities and capacity
                  in a timely manner;

         o        successfully attract, train, motivate and manage a larger
                  number of employees for manufacturing, sales and customer
                  support activities;

         o        control higher inventory and working capital requirements; and

         o        improve the efficiencies within our operating, administrative,
                  financial and accounting systems, procedures and controls.

                                        8





         To meet our growth objectives, among other things, we must attract and
retain highly skilled technical, operational, managerial and sales and marketing
personnel. If we fail to attract and retain the necessary personnel, we may be
unable to achieve our business objectives and may lose our competitive position,
which could lead to a significant decline in net sales. We face significant
competition for these skilled professionals from other companies, research and
academic institutions, government entities and other organizations.

         If we fail to manage our growth properly, we may incur unnecessary
expenses and the efficiency of our operations may decline, adversely affecting
our business and the price of our stock

FUTURE ACQUISITIONS OF OTHER COMPANIES, IF ANY, MAY DISRUPT OUR BUSINESS AND
ADDITIONAL EXPENSES. AS A RESULT, OUR BUSINESS COULD SUFFER.

         We have completed the acquisitions of several companies including EOIR
and Genex, we plan to review potential acquisition candidates, and our business
and our strategy may include building our business through acquisitions.
However, acceptable acquisition candidates may not be available in the future or
may not be available on terms and conditions acceptable to us.

         Acquisitions involve numerous risks including among others,
difficulties and expenses incurred in the consummation of acquisitions and
assimilations of the operations, personnel, and services and products of the
acquired companies. Additional risks associated with acquisitions include the
difficulties of operating new businesses, the diversion of management's
attention from other business concerns and the potential loss of key employees
of the acquired company. If we do not successfully integrate the businesses we
may acquire in the future, our business will suffer.

IF WE FAIL TO REALIZE SOME OR ALL OF THE OF THE ANTICIPATED BENEFITS FROM OUR
ACQUISITION OF EOIR OUR BUSINESS WILL SUFFER.

         Our combined company may fail to realize some or all of the anticipated
benefits and synergies of the transaction as a result of, among other things,
lower than expected order rates from customers of EOIR, unanticipated costs,
deterioration in the U.S. economy and other factors. There can be no assurance
that we will receive new orders under our existing contract with the United
States Army Night Vision and Electronic Sensors Directorate. In addition, the
integration of EOIR business and operations with those of Markland may take
longer than anticipated, may be more costly than anticipated and may have
unanticipated adverse results relating to Markland's or EOIR's existing
businesses or customer base.

OUR CURRENT AND FUTURE EXPECTED REVENUES ARE DERIVED FROM A SMALL NUMBER OF
CUSTOMERS WITHIN THE U.S. GOVERNMENT SUCH THAT THE LOSS OF ANY ONE ULTIMATE
CUSTOMER COULD MATERIALLY REDUCE OUR REVENUES. AS A RESULT, OUR FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND OUR STOCK PRICE WOULD BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED.

         During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004, and 2003 and during the six
months ended December 31, 2004, we derived substantially all of our revenue from
contracts with the U.S. Government, including the DOD, Homeland Security and
various INTEL within the U.S. Government. We have a contract with the United
States Army Night Vision and Electronic Sensors Directorate that may provide for
revenues of up to approximately $406,000,000 depending upon the U.S. Army's
needs of which our subsidiary EOIR recognized in excess of $52,848,924 in
revenues for calendar year ended December 31, 2004. We expect this contract to
account for a substantial majority of our revenues in fiscal 2005.

                                        9







         The loss of this customer due to cutbacks, competition, or other
reasons would materially reduce our revenue base. Annual or quarterly losses may
occur if there are material gaps or delays in orders from one of our largest
customers that are not replaced by other orders or other sources of income.

MANY OF OUR TECHNOLOGIES ARE UNPROVEN AND THEIR SUCCESS IN THE MARKETPLACE IS
UNKNOWN. IF WE DO NOT SUCCESSFULLY EXPLOIT THESE TECHNOLOGIES, OUR BUSINESS AND
OUR PROSPECTS WOULD BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED.

         Our Gas plasma antenna, Vehicle stopping system, Acoustic Core(TM)
signature analysis, APTIS(TM) human screening portal, and cryptography software
have not reached commercial viability. There is no guarantee that these products
will be successful in the marketplace. Although we currently sell automatic
chemical detection and alarm systems, we do not know for how long the U.S. Navy
will continue to buy this product, nor do we know if we will be able to sell
this product or others like it to other customers. If we do not successfully
exploit our technology, our financial condition, results of operations and
business prospects would be adversely affected.

         The development of our technology is subject to factors beyond our
control, including the production of components by our suppliers. We do not have
long term supply agreements. As a result, commercially viable plasma antenna
technology systems may not be successfully and timely produced by our original
equipment manufacturers due to the inherent risk of technology development, new
product introduction, limitations on financing, competition, obsolescence, loss
of key technical personnel or other factors. The development and introduction of
our technologies could be subject to additional delays. For instance,
unanticipated technical obstacles can arise at any time and result in lengthy
and costly delays or a determination that further exploitation is unfeasible.

SOME OF OUR COMPETITORS ARE MUCH LARGER THAN WE ARE, HAVE BETTER NAME
RECOGNITION THAN WE DO AND HAVE FAR GREATER FINANCIAL AND OTHER RESOURCES THAN
WE DO. IF WE CANNOT EFFECTIVELY COMPETE OUR BUSINESS MAY SUFFER AND THE PRICE OF
OUR STOCK WOULD DECREASE.

         With the U.S. government's large appropriation of money for homeland
security programs, many companies are competing for the same homeland security
contracts and there can be no assurance that Markland will effectively compete
with large companies who have more resources and funds than we do. Several
companies have been working on issues relevant to the safety of the American
people for the past several years. Because of the services and additional human
and financial resources that these larger companies can provide, they may be
more attractive to the U.S. Government. Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman are
providers of hardware engineering and systems engineering solutions. Computer
Sciences Corporation and EDS provided computer and computer software solutions.
Defense companies, such as General Dynamics, Boeing and Raytheon are solutions
providers that could easily expand their business into the homeland security
business and are currently allocating resources to develop programs in this
area.

OUR SUCCESS DEPENDS ON THE SERVICES OF OUR CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER AND CHIEF
OPERATING OFFICER. THE LOSS OF KEY PERSONNEL OR ANY INABILITY TO ATTRACT AND
RETAIN ADDITIONAL PERSONNEL COULD AFFECT OUR ABILITY TO SUCCESSFULLY GROW OUR
BUSINESS.

         Our future success depends to a significant degree on the skills and
efforts of Robert Tarini, our Chief Executive Officer and Dr. Joseph P. Mackin,
our Chief Operating Officer. If we lost the services of Mr. Tarini or Dr.
Mackin, our business and operating results could be adversely affected. On
December 30, 2004, we have entered into a five year employment agreements with
Mr. Tarini and Dr. Mackin. We describe the terms of this agreement in this
registration statement in the section "Compensation of Directors and Executive
Officers." We also depend on the ability of our other executive officers and
members of senior management to work effectively as a team. The loss of one or
more of our executive officers or senior management members could impair our
ability to manage our business effectively and could harm our business,
prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

                                        10





OUR MANAGEMENT WILL SPEND TIME ON OTHER ACTIVITIES WITH OTHER ENTITIES. AS A
RESULT, OUR BUSINESS MAY SUFFER, ADVERSELY AFFECTING THE PRICE OF OUR COMMON
STOCK.

         Robert Tarini, our Chief Executive Officer, also serves as an officer
and director of other entities. These entities include Technest Holdings, Inc.,
Syqwest, Inc., ipPartners, Inc., and Ocean Data Equipment Corporation. These
entities may share similar investment objectives and policies. Dr. Mackin, our
Chief Operating Officer, serves as President of Technest and Genex and the
President and Chief Executive Officer of EOIR. Finally, Gino Pereira, our Chief
Financial Officer is also the Chief Financial Officer of Technest and Genex. Mr.
Tarini, Dr. Mackin and Mr. Pereira may disproportionately allocate their time
and resources between these other entities and us. Neither our organizational
documents and our policies specify a minimum standard of time and attention that
Mr. Tarini, Dr. Mackin and Mr. Pereira are required to devote to us.

OUR LARGEST CUSTOMERS ARE THE DOD, HOMELAND SECURITY, AND VARIOUS OTHER INTEL
WHOSE OPERATIONS ARE SUBJECT TO UNIQUE POLITICAL AND BUDGETARY CONSTRAINTS,
INVOLVE COMPETITIVE BIDDING, AND OUR CONTACTS WITH THESE CUSTOMERS MAY BE
SUBJECT TO CANCELLATION WITH OR WITHOUT PENALTY, WHICH MAY PRODUCE VOLATILITY IN
OUR EARNINGS AND REVENUE.

         Our largest customers are the DOD, Homeland Security, and various other
INTEL. Due to political and budgetary processes and other scheduling delays that
may frequently occur relating to the contract or bidding process, some
government agency orders may be canceled or delayed, and the receipt of revenues
or payments may be substantially delayed. This irregular and unpredictable
revenue stream makes it difficult for our business to operate smoothly.
Obtaining contracts from government agencies is challenging, and government
contracts often include provisions that are not standard in private commercial
transactions. For example, government contracts may:

         o        include provisions that allow the government agency to
                  terminate the contract without penalty under some
                  circumstances;

         o        be subject to purchasing decisions of agencies that are
                  subject to political influence;

         o        contain onerous procurement procedures; and

         o        be subject to cancellation if government funding becomes
                  unavailable.

         In addition, federal government agencies routinely audit government
contracts. These agencies review a contractor's performance on its contract,
pricing practices, cost structure and compliance with applicable laws,
regulations and standards. These audits may occur several years after completion
of the audited work. An audit could result in a substantial adjustment to our
revenues because we would not be reimbursed for any costs improperly allocated
to a specific contract, and we would be forced to refund any improper costs
already reimbursed. If a government audit uncovers improper or illegal
activities, we may be subject to civil and criminal penalties and administrative
sanctions, including termination of contracts forfeiture of profits, suspension
of payments, fines and suspension or debarment from doing business with federal
government agencies. In addition, our reputation could be harmed if allegations
of impropriety were made against us.

OUR BUSINESS MAY SUFFER IF WE CANNOT PROTECT OUR PROPRIETARY TECHNOLOGY.

         Our ability to compete depends significantly upon our patents, our
trade secrets, our source code and our other proprietary technology. The steps
we have taken to protect our technology may be inadequate to prevent others from
using what we regard as our technology to compete with us. Our patents could be
challenged, invalidated or circumvented, in which case the rights we have under
our patents could provide no competitive advantages. Existing trade secrets,
copyright and trademark laws offer only limited protection. In addition, the
laws of some foreign countries do not protect our proprietary technology to the

                                        11





same extent as the laws of the United States, which could increase the
likelihood of misappropriation. Furthermore, other companies could independently
develop similar or superior technology without violating our intellectual
property rights. Any misappropriation of our technology or the development of
competing technology could seriously harm our competitive position, which could
lead to a substantial reduction in net sales.

         If we resort to legal proceedings to enforce our intellectual property
rights, the proceedings could be burdensome, disruptive and expensive, distract
the attention of management, and there can be no assurance that we would
prevail.

CLAIMS BY OTHERS THAT WE INFRINGE THEIR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS COULD
INCREASE OUR EXPENSES AND DELAY THE DEVELOPMENT OF OUR BUSINESS. AS A RESULT,
OUR BUSINESS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION COULD BE HARMED.

         Our industries are characterized by the existence of a large number of
patents and frequent claims and related litigation regarding patent and other
intellectual property rights. We cannot be certain that our products do not and
will not infringe issued patents, patents that may be issued in the future, or
other intellectual property rights of others.

         We do not conduct exhaustive patent searches to determine whether the
technology used in our products infringes patents held by third parties. In
addition, product development is inherently uncertain in a rapidly evolving
technological environment in which there may be numerous patent applications
pending, many of which are confidential when filed, with regard to similar
technologies.

         We may face claims by third parties that our products or technology
infringe their patents or other intellectual property rights. Any claim of
infringement could cause us to incur substantial costs defending against the
claim, even if the claim is invalid, and could distract the attention of our
management. If any of our products are found to violate third-party proprietary
rights, we may be required to pay substantial damages. In addition, we may be
required to re-engineer our products or obtain licenses from third parties to
continue to offer our products. Any efforts to re-engineer our products or
obtain licenses on commercially reasonable terms may not be successful, which
would prevent us from selling our products, and, in any case, could
substantially increase our costs and have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition and results of operations.

FLUCTUATIONS IN OUR QUARTERLY NET SALES AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS COULD DEPRESS
THE MARKET PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK.

         Our future net sales and results of operations are likely to vary
significantly from quarter to quarter due to a number of factors, many of which
are outside our control. Accordingly, you should not rely on quarter-to-quarter
comparisons of our results of operations as an indication of future performance.
It is possible that our net sales or results of operations in a quarter will
fall below the expectations of securities analysts or investors. If this occurs,
the market price of our common stock could fall significantly. Our results of
operations in any quarter can fluctuate for many reasons, including:

         o        Timing of orders from our largest customers, the DOD, Homeland
                  Security, various INTEL and the United States Night Vision and
                  Electronic Sensors Directorate;

         o        our ability to manufacture, test and deliver products in a
                  timely and cost-effective manner;

         o        our success in winning competitions for orders;

         o        the timing of new product introductions by us or our
                  competitors;

         o        the mix of products we sell;

         o        competitive pricing pressures; and

         o        general economic climate.

                                        12





         A large portion of our expenses, including expenses for facilities,
equipment, and personnel, are relatively fixed. Accordingly, if our net sales
decline or do not grow as much as we anticipate, we might be unable to maintain
or improve our operating margins. Any failure to achieve anticipated net sales
could therefore significantly harm our operating results for a particular fiscal
period.

            RISKS RELATING TO OUR CAPITAL STRUCTURE AND THIS OFFERING

BECAUSE WE HAVE NOT PREPAID OUR OUTSTANDING CONVERTIBLE NOTES, OUR STOCKHOLDERS
WILL EXPERIENCE SIGNIFICANT DILUTION.

         We have not prepaid the September 21, 2004 and November 9, 2004 notes.
As a result, the conversion price of the notes and exercise price of the
warrants issued in connection with the September 21, 2004 and November 9, 2004
transactions is subject to adjustment. The conversion price of the notes has
been adjusted to a floating rate equal to the lower of (i) 80% of the average
closing price for the trailing five trading days prior to the date of conversion
and (ii) $.80. Due to the conversion mechanics of the note, decreases in the
conversion price results in an increase in the total number of shares issuable
upon conversion.

         Based on our recent closing bid price of our common stock for the last
five days ending March 11, 2005, if the notes are converted, we would have to
issue approximately 20,449,843 shares of our common stock, upon conversion of
the notes. The number of shares that we may be obligated to issue would increase
if our stock price declined. Based on our recent closing bid price of our common
stock for the last five days prior to March 11, 2005 and our fully diluted
outstanding common stock as of March 11, 2005, these shares will represent
approximately 23% of our outstanding common stock upon issuance.

         However, the number of shares to be acquired by each of the holders of
the notes upon conversion cannot exceed the number of shares that, when combined
with all other shares of common stock and securities then owned by each holder
and its affiliates, would result in any one of them owning more than 9.99% of
our outstanding common stock at any point in time. The holder of the notes may
not waive this limitation.

IF WE DEFAULT ON ANY OF OUR OUTSTANDING NOTES, SOME OR ALL OF OUR ASSETS COULD
BE LIQUIDATED, DISRUPTING OUR OPERATIONS, YOU MAY LOOSE ALL OR PART OF YOUR
INVESTMENT.

         All of our assets are subject to security agreements. Our obligations
under notes issued to the former stockholders of our subsidiary EOIR are secured
by all the assets of EOIR and are guaranteed by Markland, and our obligations
under the notes issued to the investors in our private placements closed on
September 21, 2004 and November 9, 2004 are secured by all of the assets of
Markland and its subsidiaries, EOIR, Ergo Systems, Inc. ("Ergo") and STR. As a
result, if we default under the terms of any of these notes, the holders of the
notes could foreclose under the security interest and liquidate some or all of
our assets.

FUTURE SALES BY OUR STOCKHOLDERS MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR STOCK PRICE AND OUR
ABILITY TO RAISE FUNDS IN NEW STOCK OFFERINGS.

         Future sales of our common stock in the public market could lower the
market price of our common stock. Such sales may also make it more difficult for
us to sell equity securities or equity-related securities in the future at a
time and price that our management deems acceptable or at all. Some of our
shareholders hold securities issued and sold in private transactions in reliance
upon exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. These
securities may be resold in the public market only if the resale is registered
or pursuant to an exemption from registration. As of March 11, 2005,
approximately 43,877,468 shares of our common stock are restricted securities.
We have agreed or intend to file as applicable, registration statements covering
the resale of up to additional 52,168,174 shares of common stock. These shares
may be immediately resold in the public market upon effectiveness of the
accompanying registration statement. We do not know when these shares will be
sold since sales will depend upon the market price for our common stock, the
circumstances, needs and decisions of the selling stockholders, and other
factors.

                                        13



YOU COULD SUFFER SUBSTANTIAL DILUTION OF YOUR INVESTMENT AND OUR STOCK PRICE
COULD DECLINE SIGNIFICANTLY IF WE ISSUE SUBSTANTIAL SHARES OF OUR COMMON STOCK
(i) UPON CONVERSION OF THE OUTSTANDING SERIES D CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK,
(ii) UPON EXERCISE OF OUR WARRANTS, (iii) UPON CONVERSION OF OUR CONVERTIBLE
NOTES, AND (iv) PURSUANT TO OUR EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS, CONSULTING AGREEMENTS AND
OUR STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN.

         We cannot predict the actual number of shares of common stock that will
be issued pursuant to these arrangements, in part, because the conversion price
and exercise price of some of these securities will fluctuate based on
prevailing market conditions and we have not determined the total amount of
advances we intend to draw.

         Nonetheless, we can estimate the number of shares of common stock that
will be required to issue using the certain assumptions including

         o        the recent price of our common stock of $0.42 on March 11,
                  2005,
         o        our recent closing bid price of our common stock for the last
                  five trading days ending March 11, 2005,
         o        the September 21, 2004 and November 9, 2004 notes have not
                  been prepaid on March 15, 2005;
         o        our recent closing bid price of our common stock for the last
                  twenty trading days ending March 11, 2005, and
         o        the number of shares outstanding as of March 11, 2005.

         We are obligated to issue a substantial number of shares of common
stock upon (i) the conversion of our Series D convertible preferred stock and
common stock purchase warrants; (ii) the conversion of our secured convertible
promissory notes issued on September 21, 2004 and on November 9, 2004; and (iii)
the exercise of our warrants issued on September 21, 2004 and on November 9,
2004. As of March 11, 2005, the outstanding Series D preferred stock would
convert into approximately 46,684,848 shares of our common stock, our secured
convertible promissory notes would convert into approximately 20,449,843 shares
of our common stock, and we had approximately 9,443,750 warrants representing
the right to purchase our common stock outstanding.

         Our agreements with our executive officers and consultants contemplate
a series of future issuances of our common stock expressed as a percentage of
our fully diluted outstanding common stock (i.e., including shares of our common
stock for which any options, warrants, convertible preferred, or other common
stock equivalents are currently convertible or exercisable, as applicable)
currently estimated at 5,214,968 shares (based on our fully diluted outstanding
common stock as of March 11, 2005). Moreover, because these grants are expressed
as a percentage of our fully diluted common stock, any increase to the fully
diluted common stock (whether the result of new issuances or, with respect to
future-priced instruments, decreases in our stock price) will result in an
increase in the number of shares granted under these agreements.

         Should a significant number of these securities be issued, exercised or
converted, the resulting increase in the amount of the common stock in the
public market could have a substantial dilutive effect on our outstanding common
stock. The conversion and exercise of a substantial amount of the aforementioned
securities or the issuance of new shares of common stock may also adversely
affect the terms under which we could obtain additional equity capital. The
price, which we may receive for the shares of common stock, that are issuable
upon conversion or exercise of such securities, may be less than the market
price of the common stock at the time of such conversions or exercise.



                                        14





THE HOLDERS OF OUR PREFERRED STOCK HAVE SOME RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES THAT ARE
SENIOR TO OUR COMMON STOCKHOLDERS, AND WE MAY ISSUE ADDITIONAL SHARES OF
PREFERRED STOCK WITHOUT STOCKHOLDER APPROVAL THAT COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT THE
PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK.

         Our board of directors has the authority to issue, without any further
vote or action by you and the other common stockholders, a total of up to
5,000,000 shares of preferred stock and to fix the rights, preferences,
privileges, and restrictions, including voting rights, of the preferred stock,
which typically are senior to the rights of the common stockholders. As of March
11, 2005, we have issued 30,000 shares of our Series A non-voting redeemable
convertible preferred stock, 15,406 shares of our Series D convertible preferred
stock and may, from time to time in the future, issue additional preferred stock
for financing or other purposes with rights, preferences or privileges senior to
the common stock. Your rights will be subject to, and may be adversely affected
by, the rights of the holders of the preferred stock that have been issued or
might be issued in the future. Preferred stock also could make it more difficult
for a third party to acquire a majority of our outstanding voting stock. This
could delay, defer or prevent a change in control. Furthermore, holders of
preferred stock may have other rights, including economic rights, senior to the
holders of our common stock. As a result, the existence and issuance of
preferred stock could have a material adverse effect on the market value of the
common stock.

THE ISSUANCE OF PREFERRED STOCK MAY ENTRENCH MANAGEMENT OR DISCOURAGE A CHANGE
OF CONTROL.

         Our Articles of Incorporation authorize the issuance of preferred stock
that would have designations rights, and preferences determined from time to
time by our Board of Directors. Accordingly, our Board of Directors is
empowered, without stockholder approval, to issue preferred stock with
dividends, liquidation, conversion, voting, or other rights that could adversely
affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of our common stock.

         In the event of issuance, the preferred stock could be used, under some
circumstances, as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in
control of the company or, alternatively, granting the holders of preferred
stock such rights as to entrench management. Current members of our management
that are large stockholders and members of our Board may have interests that are
different form other stockholders. Therefore, conflicting interests of some
members of management and our stockholders may lead to stockholders desiring to
replace these individuals. In the event this occurs and the holders of our
common stock desired to remove current management, it is possible that our Board
of Directors could issue preferred stock and grant the holders thereof such
rights and preferences so as to discourage or frustrate attempts by the common
stockholders to remove current management. In doing so, management would be able
to severely limit the rights of common stockholders to elect the Board of
Directors. In addition, by issuing preferred stock, management could prevent
other shareholders from receiving a premium price for their shares as part of a
tender offer.

WE HAVE NEVER PAID DIVIDENDS ON OUR CAPITAL STOCK, AND WE DO NOT ANTICIPATE
PAYING DIVIDENDS IN THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE. INVESTORS SHOULD NOT RELY ON AN
INVESTMENT IN OUR STOCK FOR THE PAYMENT OF CASH DIVIDENDS.

         We have not paid dividends on any of our classes of capital stock to
date, and we currently intend to retain our future earnings, if any, to fund the
development and growth of our business. As a result, capital appreciation, if
any, of our common stock will be your sole source of gain for the foreseeable
future. In addition, the terms of our Exchange Agreement with Eurotech, Ltd.
prohibit us from declaring dividends.

         Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement between Markland and DKR Soundshore
Oasis Holding Fund, Ltd, and DKR Soundshore Strategic Holding Fund, Ltd., dated
September 21, 2004, we have covenanted that so long as any of the notes issued
pursuant to such agreement are outstanding, we will not declare, pay or make any
provision for any cash dividend or cash distribution with respect to our common
stock or preferred stock, without first obtaining the approval of the investors
party the agreement.

                  RISKS RELATING TO OUR INVESTMENT IN TECHNEST

LACK OF CURRENT AUDITED FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF GENEX AND DESCRIPTION OF THE
BUSINESS OF GENEX, AMONG OTHER THINGS, MAKES AN INVESTMENT IN MARKLAND HIGHLY
SPECULATIVE.

         Prior to February 14, 2005, Genex, as a privately held company, had not
been subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and therefore,
the information available to investors is limited. While some information is
provided herein, and additional information will become available in due course
as Technest complies with its ongoing Exchange Act reporting requirements, the
current lack of such information, among other factors, makes an investment in
Markland's common stock speculative. You should carefully consider all of the
information included in Markland's and Technest current reports on Form 8-K
filed with the SEC on February 15, 2005, and in other filings we make with the
SEC. Before deciding to invest in our common stock, you should consider
carefully all of the risk factors and uncertainties contained in this prospectus
and Markland's and Technest's current reports on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on
February 15, 2004.

TECHNEST'S LACK OF OPERATING HISTORY ON WHICH INVESTORS MAY EVALUATE ITS
OPERATIONS, PROSPECTS AND ABILITY TO PRODUCE A RETURN ON INVESTMENT MAKES AN
INVESTMENT IN MARKLAND HIGHLY SPECULATIVE.

         Prior to February 14, 2005, Technest did not have any operations on
which a potential investor may base an evaluation of its prospects and ability
to operate Genex profitably. If Technest is unable to sustain profitable
operations, Markland's return on its investment in Technest may suffer and the
price of Markland's common stock may decline.

TECHNEST HAS A HISTORY OF OPERATING LOSSES AND CANNOT GIVE ASSURANCE OF FUTURE
REVENUES OR OPERATING PROFITS. IF THE FINANCIAL CONDITION OF TECHNEST DOES NOT
IMPROVE, THERE MAY BE AN ADVERSE AFFECT ON THE PRICE OF MARKLAND COMMON STOCK

         Technest has had net operating losses each year since its inception and
a working capital deficit Sherb & Co. LLP, Technest registered independent
public accounting firm, issued a going concern qualification in their audit
report delivered in connection with their audit of Technest financial statements
for fiscal year 2003. Specifically, Sherb & Co. LLP believed there is
substantial doubt that Technest can continue as a going concern which, if true,
raises substantial doubt that a purchaser of our common stock will receive a
return on his or her investment. As shown in the unaudited financial statements
included in Technest's quarterly report on 10-QSB for the period ended September
30, 2004, Technest had negative working capital of approximately $293,988 and an
accumulated deficit of approximately $15,516,410. If Technest continues to
suffer losses as it has in the past, Markland's return on its investment in
Technest may suffer and you may loose part or all of your investment.

ROBERT TARINI, OUR CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER HAS AN INVESTMENT IN TECHNEST, AND
HE, DR. MACKIN AND MR. PEREIRA ALSO SERVE AS OFFICERS OF TECHNEST AND THEREFORE
WILL NOT SPEND ALL THEIR WORKING TIME ON OUR BUSINESS. CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
COULD ARISE AS A RESULT OF THESE OVERLAPPING POSITIONS. AS A RESULT, OUR
BUSINESS COULD BE HARMED.

         Mr. Tarini is one of the investors that participated in the Genex
Transactions. On February 14, 2005, Mr. Tarini received 143,678 shares of
Technest Series B preferred stock, 143,678 shares of Technest Series C preferred
stock convertible into 30,341,954 shares of Technest common stock (without
giving effect to the reverse stock split) and 143,678 shares of Technest common
stock (after giving effect to the reverse stock split) and warrants to purchase
30,341,920 Technest common stock in exchange for $625,000.

         These entities share similar investment objectives and policies. Mr.
Tarini may disproportionately allocate their time and resources between these
other entities and us. Neither our organizational documents and our policies
specify a minimum standard of time and attention that Mr. Tarini are required to
devote to us. There may be instances where the business of these companies
overlap or compete. However, we do not believe that having the same board of
directors or being in the same markets will present a conflict of interest. The
board will endeavor to act in the best interests of each company.

IT MAY BE DIFFICULT FOR US TO RESELL SHARES OF COMMON STOCK OF TECHNEST
HOLDINGS, INC. IF AN ACTIVE MARKET FOR TECHNEST HOLDINGS, INC. COMMON STOCK DOES
NOT DEVELOP.

         Due to the current price of Technest common stock, many brokerage firms
may not be willing to effect transactions in its securities, particularly
because low-priced securities are subject to SEC rules imposing additional sales
requirements on broker-dealers who sell low-priced securities (generally those
below $5.00 per share). These disclosure requirements may have the effect of
reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for Technest common stock
as it is subject to these penny stock rules. These factors severely limit the
liquidity, if any, of Technest common stock, and would likely have a material
adverse effect on its market price and on our ability to raise additional
capital through selling Technest common stock we hold.

         The common stock of Technest is not actively traded on a registered
securities exchange and will not be able to cause its securities to be listed
because Technest does not meet the initial listing criteria for any registered
securities exchange or the NASDAQ National Market System. The common stock of
Technest is quoted on the less recognized OTC Bulletin Board. This factor may
further impair our ability to sell our shares when we want and/or could depress
the stock price of Technest common stock. As a result, we may find it difficult
to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations of the price of, Technest common
stock because smaller quantities of shares could be bought and sold,
transactions could be delayed and security analyst and news coverage of our
Technest may be reduced. These factors could result in lower prices and larger
spreads in the bids and ask prices for shares of Technest common stock.

         We cannot predict the extent to which investor interest in Technest
common stock or a business combination, if any, will lead to an increase in its
market price or the development of an active trading market or how liquid that
market, if any, might become.

MARKLAND MAY BECOME AN INVESTMENT COMPANY IF OUR CONTROLLING INTEREST IN
TECHNEST FALLS BELOW 51%. IF SO, OUR COMPLIANCE AND REGISTRATION COSTS WILL
INCREASE.

         If Markland's ownership of Technest falls below 51% Technest will no
longer meet the definition of "majority-owned subsidiary" as contemplated by the
Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "Investment Company Act"), Markland could be
subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act. In such event, Markland
may be required to register as an investment company, unless an exemption is
available. We may incur significant registration and compliance costs and we may
become subject to liability under the Investment Company Act, the Securities Act
and the Exchange Act and rules and regulations adopted thereunder. Compliance
with these rules could adversely affect Markland and Technest because it would
use management and financial resources.

               RISKS RELATING TO INVESTING IN A CONTROLLED COMPANY

MINORITY SHAREHOLDERS SHOULD NOT INVEST IN OUR COMPANY WITH THE EXPECTATION THAT
THEY MAY BE ABLE TO INFLUENCE THE AFFAIRS OF THE COMPANY AND/OR THE OUTCOME OF
STOCKHOLDER VOTES.

         We have not held an annual meeting since November 19, 2001. In
addition, our executive officers, directors and other key stockholders such as
Jason Geng, acting together, would control approximately 33% of our outstanding
common stock. As a result, they will have the ability to run the day to day
operations of our company and significantly influence matters submitted to the
stockholders for approval (including the election and removal of Directors).
This concentration of ownership may have the effect of delaying, deferring or
preventing a change in control, impeding a merger, consolidation, takeover or
other business combination involving us or discouraging a potential acquirer
from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control, which in
turn could materially and adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

OTHER BUSINESS VENTURES OF OUR CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER MAY PRESENT DEMANDS ON
HIS TIME OR POSSIBLE CONFLICTS OF INTEREST WHICH COULD MATERIALLY AND ADVERSELY
AFFECT OUR BUSINESS.

                                        17






         Robert Tarini, our Chief Executive Officer and a Director of our
company is involved in other business activities and may, in the future, become
involved in additional business opportunities. As of March 11, 2005, Mr. Tarini
holds positions and is involved in the following activities.

         o        Mr. Tarini is the founder and President of ipPartners, Inc., a
                  firm specializing in the design and manufacture of acoustic
                  remote sensing devices utilized in marine and land based
                  applications. He is also the sole shareholder.

         o        Mr. Tarini is the Chief Executive Officer and a minority
                  shareholder of Syqwest, Inc., a company that specializes in
                  the development of acoustic remote sensing devices, as its
                  Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer.

         o        Since 1999, Mr. Tarini serves as the Chief Executive Officer
                  of Ocean Data Equipment Corporation, where he has overseen the
                  design and development of a complete line of scientific
                  instruments targeted for geophysical and hydrographic
                  research, and developed a remote sensing technique, which is
                  currently being developed for application in detecting illicit
                  materials. He is also a minority shareholder.

         o        On February 14, 2005 he was appointed Chief Executive Officer
                  and a Director of Technest.

         Mr. Tarini may face a potential conflict of interest in how he
allocated his available time to each company. We have not formally adopted a
plan to resolve any potential or actual conflicts of interest that exist or that
may arise related to this matter. There can be no assurance that we will have a
policy in place to address potential conflicts of interests.

          RISKS RELATED TO THE HOMELAND SECURITY AND DEFENSE INDUSTRIES

THE HOMELAND SECURITY AND DEFENSE INDUSTRIES IS CHARACTERIZED BY RAPID
TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE AND EVOLVING INDUSTRY STANDARDS, AND UNLESS WE KEEP PACE
WITH THE CHANGING TECHNOLOGIES, WE COULD LOSE CUSTOMERS AND FAIL TO WIN NEW
CUSTOMERS.

         Our future success will depend, in part, upon our ability to develop
and introduce a variety of new products and services and enhancements to these
new product and services in order to address the changing and sophisticated
needs of the homeland security marketplace. Delays in introducing new products,
services and enhancements, the failure to choose correctly among technical
alternatives or the failure to offer innovative products and services at
competitive prices may cause customers to forego purchases of our products and
services and purchase those of our competitors. Frequently, technical
development programs in the homeland security industry require assessments to be
made of the future directions of technology and technology markets generally,
which are inherently risky and difficult to predict.

WE FACE INTENSE COMPETITION, WHICH COULD RESULT IN LOWER REVENUES AND HIGHER
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENDITURES AND COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS.

         Current political tensions throughout the world have heightened
interest in the homeland security industry, and we expect competition in this
field, which is already substantial, to intensify. If we do not develop new and
enhanced products, or if we are not able to invest adequately in our research
and development activities, our business, financial condition and results of
operations could be negatively impacted. Many of our competitors have
significantly more cash and resources than we have. Our competitors may
introduce products that are competitively priced, have increased performance or
functionality, or incorporate technological advances that we have not yet
developed or implemented. To remain competitive, we must continue to develop,
market and sell new and enhanced systems and products at competitive prices,
which will require significant research and development expenditures. We cannot
assure you that we will be able to compete successfully against current and
future competitors

                                       18



              RISKS RELATING TO NEW CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STANDARDS

WE ARE NOT SUBJECT TO THE SAME CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STANDARDS AS LISTED
COMPANIES. THIS MAY AFFECT MARKET CONFIDENCE AND COMPANY PERFORMANCE. AS A
RESULT, OUR BUSINESS COULD BE HARMED AND THE PRICE OF OUR STOCK COULD DECREASE.

         Registered exchanges and the Nasdaq National Market have adopted
enhanced corporate governance requirements that apply to issuers that list their
securities on those markets. These standards deal with the rights and
responsibilities of a company's management, its board, shareholders and various
stakeholders. How well companies are run may affect market confidence as well as
company performance. Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, which
does not have comparable requirements. As a result, our business and the price
of our stock may be adversely affected.

         For instance, we are not required to have any independent directors and
we do not have independent directors. Therefore management has significant
influence over decisions made by the Board on behalf of the stockholders.

         In some circumstances, management may not have the same interests as
the shareholders and conflicts of interest may arise. We do not have a policy to
resolve conflicts of interest and we are not required to have one.
Notwithstanding the exercise of their fiduciary duties as directors and
executive officers and any other duties that they may have to us or our other
stockholders in general, these persons may have interests different than yours.

OUR ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS AND EXPENSES RESULTING FROM THE NEW REGULATIONS HAVE
INCREASED ADVERSELY AFFECTING OUR FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

         We face new corporate governance requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley
Act of 2002 and SEC rules adopted thereunder. These regulations increased our
legal and financial compliance and made some activities more difficult,
time-consuming and costly. Our expenses will continue to increase as we continue
to implement these new regulations.

NEW CORPORATE GOVERNANCE REQUIREMENTS HAVE MADE IT MORE DIFFICULT TO ATTRACT
QUALIFIED DIRECTORS. AS A RESULT, OUR BUSINESS MAY BE HARMED AND THE PRICE OF
OUR STOCK MAY BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED

         New corporate governance requirements have increased the role and
responsibilities of directors and executive officers of public companies. These
new requirements will make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain
director and officer liability insurance. We may be required to accept reduced
coverage or incur significantly higher costs to obtain coverage. As a result, it
may be more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified individuals to
serve as members of our board of directors.

IF WE FAIL TO MAINTAIN EFFECTIVE INTERNAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING, THE
PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK MAY BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED.

         We are required to establish and maintain appropriate internal controls
over financial reporting. Our internal controls over financial reporting may
have weaknesses and conditions that need to be addressed, the disclosure of
which may have an adverse impact on the price of our common stock.

         For instance, in Amendment # 1 to our Form 10-QSB for the quarter ended
December 31, 2004, we disclosed that prior to the acquisition of EOIR, the
limited size of our internal financial and controls staff did not permit a
significant amount of time or expense on monitoring and oversight of our general
administrative and financial functions. In the course of management's evaluation
of our controls and procedures for that quarter, our management concluded that,
due to the limited amount of resources available for general administrative and
financial matters prior to the acquisition of EOIR we: (i) had a less than
desirable number of people performing a majority of the financial duties, (ii)

                                       19



lacked the desired internal financial and controls staff resources for a
comprehensive internal audit function, and (iii) and in some cases had not been
able to promptly accumulate and process all of our data and reports on a timely
basis. Our management also concluded that , in light of existing newly
instituted staff and controls, which include additional administrative personnel
acquired with EOIR, and the recent addition of an outside consultant, the risks
associated with a lack of segregation of duties and limited staff have been
largely mitigated. There can be no assurance that these actions will be
effective or timely. However, we will periodically reevaluate the situation, and
as necessary, will put in place additional internal staff and controls to
prevent a lack of discipline around policies and procedures in our
administrative and financial matters.

         Failure to establish those controls, or any failure of those controls
once established, could adversely impact Markland's public disclosures regarding
our business, financial condition or results of operations. In addition,
management's assessment of internal controls over financial reporting may
identify weaknesses and conditions that need to be addressed in our internal
controls over financial reporting or other matters that may raise concerns for
investors. Any actual or perceived weaknesses and conditions that need to be
addressed, disclosure of management's assessment of our internal controls over
financial reporting or disclosure of our independent registered public
accounting firm's attestation to or report on management's assessment of our
internal controls over financial reporting may have an adverse impact on the
price of our common stock.

STANDARDS FOR COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 404 OF THE SARBANES-OXLEY ACT OF 2002 ARE
UNCERTAIN, AND IF WE FAIL TO COMPLY IN A TIMELY MANNER, OUR BUSINESS COULD BE
HARMED AND ITS STOCK PRICE COULD DECLINE.

         Rules adopted by the SEC pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley
Act of 2002 require annual assessment of our internal control over financial
reporting, and attestation of this assessment by our independent registered
public accountant. This requirement will first apply to our annual report for
fiscal year ending June 30, 2007. The standards that must be met for management
to assess the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting are
new and complex, and require significant documentation, testing and possible
remediation to meet the detailed standards. We may encounter problems or delays
in completing activities necessary to make an assessment of its internal control
over financial reporting. In addition, we may encounter problems or delays in
completing the implementation of any requested improvements and receiving an
attestation of its assessment by our independent registered public accountants.
If management cannot assess Markland's internal control over financial reporting
as effective, or our independent registered public accounting firm is unable to
issue an unqualified attestation report on such assessment, investor confidence
and share value may be negatively impacted.

        RISKS RELATED TO INVESTING IN ILLIQUID AND LOW-PRICED SECURITIES

OUR COMMON STOCK IS DEEMED TO BE "PENNY STOCK," WHICH MAY MAKE IT MORE DIFFICULT
FOR INVESTORS TO SELL THESE SHARES DUE TO SUITABILITY AND DISCLOSURE
REQUIREMENTS.

         Due to the current price of our common stock, many brokerage firms may
not be willing to effect transactions in its securities, particularly because
low-priced securities are subject to SEC rules (referred to as the "penny stock
rules")imposing additional sales requirements on broker-dealers who sell
low-priced securities (generally those below $5.00 per share). These disclosure
requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the
secondary market for Technest common stock as it is subject to these penny stock
rules. These rules severely limit the liquidity, if any, of our common stock,
and would likely have a material adverse effect on its market price and on our
ability to raise additional capital through selling Technest common stock
acquired in connection with the Genex Transactions.

                                       20


         The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction
in a penny stock, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by
the Commission, that: (a) contains a description of the nature and level of risk
in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading;
(b) contains a description of the broker's or dealer's duties to the customer
and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a
violation to such duties or other requirements of Securities' laws; (c) contains
a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including bid and ask
prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the bid and
ask price; (d) contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on
disciplinary actions; (e) defines significant terms in the disclosure document
or in the conduct of trading in penny stocks; and (f) contains such other
information and is in such form, including language, type, size and format, as
the SEC may require by rule or regulation.

         In addition, the broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting
any transaction in a penny stock, the customer with: (a) bid and offer
quotations for the penny stock; (b) the compensation of the broker-dealer and
its salesperson in the transaction; (c) the number of shares to which such bid
and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and
liquidity of the market for such stock; and (d) monthly account statements
showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account.

         Finally, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a
penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, the broker-dealer must make a
special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for
the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written acknowledgment of the receipt
of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement to transactions involving
penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement.

         These requirements may reduce the potential market for our common stock
by reducing the number of potential investors, brokers and traders. This may
make it more difficult for investors in our common stock to sell shares to third
parties or to otherwise dispose of them. This could cause our stock price to
decline.

         We cannot predict the extent to which investor interest in Technest
common stock or a business combination, if any, will lead to an increase in its
market price or the development of an active trading market or how liquid that
market, if any, might become.

IT MAY BE DIFFICULT FOR YOU TO RESELL YOUR SHARES IF AN ACTIVE AND LIQUID MARKET
FOR OUR COMMON STOCK DOES NOT DEVELOP

         Our common stock is not actively traded on a registered securities
exchange and we do not meet the initial listing criteria for any registered
securities exchange or the NASDAQ National Market System. It is quoted on the
less recognized OTC Bulletin Board. This factor may further impair your ability
to sell your shares when you want and/or could depress our stock price. As a
result, you may find it difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate
quotations of the price of, our securities because smaller quantities of shares
could be bought and sold, transactions could be delayed and security analyst and
news coverage of our company may be reduced. These factors could result in lower
prices and larger spreads in the bids and ask prices for our shares.

         Due to the current price of our common stock, many brokerage firms may
not be willing to effect transactions in our securities, particularly because
low-priced securities are subject to an SEC rule that imposes additional sales
requirements on broker-dealers who sell low-priced securities (generally those
below $5.00 per share).

         These factors severely limit the liquidity of our common stock, and
would likely have a material adverse effect on its market price and on our
ability to raise additional capital. We cannot predict the extent to which
investor interest in our stock, if any, will lead to an increase in its market
price or the development of a more active trading market or how liquid that
market might become.

                                       21



THE MARKET PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK MAY BE VOLATILE. AS A RESULT, YOU MAY NOT
BE ABLE TO SELL OUR COMMON STOCK IN SHORT TIME PERIODS, OR POSSIBLY AT ALL.

         Our stock price has been volatile. From July 1, 2003 to March 11, 2005,
the trading price of our common stock ranged from a low price of $0.13 per share
to a high price of $9.00 per share. Many factors may cause the market price of
our common stock to fluctuate, including:

         o        variations in our quarterly results of operations;

         o        the introduction of new products by us or our competitors;

         o        acquisitions or strategic alliances involving us or our
                  competitors;

         o        future sales of shares of common stock in the public market;
                  and

         o        market conditions in our industries and the economy as a
                  whole.

         In addition, the stock market has recently experienced extreme price
and volume fluctuations. These fluctuations are often unrelated to the operating
performance of particular companies. These broad market fluctuations may
adversely affect the market price of our common stock. When the market price of
a company's stock drops significantly, stockholders often institute securities
class action litigation against that company. Any litigation against us could
cause us to incur substantial costs, divert the time and attention of our
management and other resources or otherwise harm our business.

                PRICE RANGE FOR COMMON STOCK AND DIVIDEND POLICY

MARKET INFORMATION

         Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board by The National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. under the symbol "MRKL.OB." The
following table provides, for the periods indicated, the high and low closing
prices for our common stock as reported on the OTC Bulletin Board. These
over-the-counter market quotations reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail
mark-up, mark-down or commission, and may not represent actual transactions. The
prices reflect a 1-for-60 reverse stock split effective October 27, 2003. Prior
to December 2003, the common stock of the Company was thinly traded. We believe
that the variability of the share price may, in part, be due to thin trading.

DIVIDENDS

         We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our capital stock, and
we do not plan to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. We currently

DECEMBER 7, 2004 PRIVATE PLACEMENT

         On December 7, 2004, we issued warrants to purchase
four-hundred-thousand (400,000) shares of our common stock Michael Rosenblum, an
unaffiliated consultant who assisted us in contacting Trilogy, our investor
relations firm. The offer and sale of these securities was made in reliance on
Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and did not involve a public offering.

         Terms and conditions of the warrants issued to Michael Rosenblum. On
December 7, 2004, we issued warrants to Michael Rosenblum to purchase four
hundred thousand (400,000) shares of our common stock, par value $0.0001 per
share, with an exercise price of $0.60 per share. Any unexercised warrants shall
expire on November 30, 2007. As of March 11, 2005, all warrants issued to
Michael Rosenblum have vested and are exercisable.

         Adjustments to the exercise price of the warrant must be made in the
event that we pay a dividend in common stock or securities convertible into
common stock, or if we subdivide, split or combine our shares of outstanding
common stock. In the event that any of the foregoing occur, then the number of
shares issuable pursuant to the warrant shall be adjusted so that Trilogy may
thereafter receive the number of shares of common stock it would have owned
immediately following such action if it had exercised the warrants immediately
prior to the transaction. The exercise price on the warrant shall be adjusted to
reflect the proportionate increase or decrease in the number of shares.

JANUARY 7, 2005 PRIVATE PLACEMENT

         On January 7, 2005, we issued to James LLC, the holder of 15,406 shares

consideration for entering into the following arrangements described below. As

result, James LLC is offering 1,088,160 shares issuable upon exercise of the
January 7, 2005 pursuant to this registration statement.

         Terms and conditions of the January 7, 2005 warrants. On January 7,
2005, we issued warrants to James LLC to purchase one million eighty-eight
thousand one hundred sixty (1,088,160) shares of our common stock at an exercise
price of $0.60 per share, subject to further adjustments.

                                       24



        The warrants are exercisable in whole or in part and from time to time,
at option of the holder. If the holder surrender the warrants on or after
January 7, 2005, we will issue an amount of shares of our common stock equal to
the total number of common Stock issuable hereunder LESS the number of shares of
common stock having an aggregate market value equal to the aggregate exercise
price of the Issued Shares. For the purpose of this provision, market value
means the average closing sale price of the common stock for the five (5)
trading days immediately prior to the exercise date as reported by Bloomberg
Information Systems, Inc. or any successor to its function of reporting stock
prices.

         The terms of the warrant provides that the number of shares to be
acquired by each of the holder of the warrant upon exercise of this warrant
cannot exceed the number of shares that, when combined with all other shares of
common stock and securities then owned by each holder and its affiliates, would
result in any one of them owning more than 4.999% of our outstanding common
stock at any point in time.

         This warrant also contains provisions protecting the holder against
dilution by adjusting of the exercise price for particular events such as stock
dividends and distributions, stock splits, recapitalizations, mergers and
consolidations. If an adjustment of the exercise price is required, the holder
shall be entitled to purchase such number of shares of common stock as will
cause (i) (x) the total number of shares of common stock the holder is entitled
to purchase pursuant to this warrant following such adjustment, multiplied by
(y) the adjusted exercise price per share, to equal the result of (ii) (x) the
dollar amount of the total number of shares of common stock the holder is
entitled to purchase before adjustment, multiplied by (y) the total exercise
price before adjustment.

         Related Arrangements. We issued to James LLC the warrants described in
this section in consideration for entering into the following arrangements.

         On January 5, 2005, we entered into a preferred stock restriction

beneficial holder of 9.99% of our common stock, to restrict the sale of shares
of Series D preferred stock and shares of our common stock issuable upon
conversion of the Series D preferred stock prior to March 15, 2005. Thereafter,
James LLC will be subject to the following volume and time limitations in
connection with the sale of shares of our common stock issuable upon conversion
of Markland shares of Series D preferred stock:

         o        Beginning on March 15, 2005, James LLC may sell its shares of
                  our common stock in broker's transactions subject to Rule 144
                  promulgated under the Securities Act.

         o        However, beginning on June 15, 2005, James LLC's sales shall
                  be limited to not more than $600,000 per calendar month.

         o        Beginning on September 13, 2005, the monthly limit shall be
                  increased to $750,000 per calendar month.

         Under the terms of this agreement, we are also required to enter into
an agreement with Brittany Capital Management, Ltd. that will provide for an
equity line of credit in the amount of $10,000,000. The Equity Line shall be
subject to certain conditions enumerated in Section 4.8 of the Purchase
Agreement, dated September 21, 2004, between the company and investors named
therein. Within twenty-one (21) days of the execution of the equity line credit
agreement, we are required to file a registration statement with the SEC
providing for the resale by Brittany Capital Management, LLC of the shares of
Common Stock to be sold to Brittany pursuant to the equity line. In the event
that this registration statement has not been declared effective by the SEC
prior to June 15, 2005, we are required to pay Brittany Capital Management, LLC

by adjusting the exercise price of the warrants and the number of shares to be
issued upon occurrence of events such as stock dividends, distributions, stock
splits, recapitalizations, mergers, consolidations or similar transactions. For
instance, if we pay a dividend in common stock or securities convertible into
common stock or if we subdivide, split or combine our shares of outstanding

may thereafter receive the number of shares of common stock it would have owned
immediately following such action if it had exercised the warrants immediately
prior to the transaction. And the exercise price on the warrant shall be
adjusted to reflect the proportionate increase or decrease in the number of
shares.

         The terms of the warrants also provide that the number of shares to be
acquired by each of the holders of the warrants upon exercise of these warrants
cannot exceed the number of shares that, when combined with all other shares of
common stock and securities then owned by each holder and its affiliates, would
result in any one of them owning more than 4.999% of our outstanding common

limitation, effective 61 days after delivery of a notice.

                                       26


         If the 4.99% limitation is waived, the number of shares to be acquired
by each of the holders of the warrants upon exercise of these warrants cannot
exceed the number of shares that, when combined with all other shares of common
stock and securities then owned by each holder and its affiliates, would result
in any one of them owning more than 9.99% of our outstanding common stock at any
point in time. The holder may not waive this limitation.

         Our registration obligations in connection with these warrants - We
have granted the holders of these warrants piggy back registration rights. As a

entitle the holders to purchase an aggregate of 5,500,000 shares of our common
stock, at any time and from time to time, through March 8, 2010, at an exercise
price of $0.50 per share.

         The warrants contain provisions protecting the holders against dilution
by adjusting the exercise price of the warrants and the number of shares to be
issued upon occurrence of events such as stock dividends, distributions, stock
splits, recapitalizations, mergers, consolidations and issuances of common stock
below their respective exercise price.

         Specifically, if we pay a dividend in common stock or securities
convertible into common stock or if we subdivide, split or combine our shares of
outstanding common stock, the number of shares issuable shall be adjusted so
that the holder may thereafter receive the number of shares of common stock it
would have owned immediately following such action if it had exercised the
warrants immediately prior to the transaction. And the exercise price on the
warrant shall be adjusted to reflect the proportionate increase or decrease in
the number of shares.

         If, within 180 days of March 10, 2005, we issue common stock or common
stock equivalents at a price per share below (i) the then effective price per

limitation, effective 61 days after delivery of a notice waiving this
limitation.

Strategic Holding Fund Ltd are affiliates, their holdings will be aggregated as
provided in Rule 13d-3. As a result, the number of shares to be acquired upon
exercised of these warrants cannot exceed the number of shares that when
combined with all other shares of common stock owned by DKR Soundshore Oasis
Holding Fund Ltd. and DKR Soundshore Strategic Holding Fund Ltd, and affiliates,
would result in any of them owning more than 4.99%.

by each of the holders of the warrants upon exercise of these warrants cannot
exceed the number of shares that, when combined with all other shares of common
stock and securities then owned by each holder and its affiliates, would result

point in time. However, neither DKR Soundshore Oasis Holding Fund Ltd. and DKR
Soundshore Strategic Holding Fund Ltd, may waive this limitation.

(1)     Includes 1,459,322 shares of common stock we issued to Verdi Consulting,
        Inc. for services rendered to us pursuant to the Consulting Agreements
        and 2,867,458 shares of common stock acquired by Verdi Consulting, Inc.
        pursuant to its agreement with Mr. Tarini, through ipPartners, Inc., a
        company wholly-owned and controlled by Mr. Tarini, dated March 7, 2005.

(2)     On February 14, 2005, Verdi Consulting, Inc. received 258,620 shares of
        Technest Series B preferred stock (convertible into 1,874,995 shares of
        our common stock) pursuant to the Investors' Securities Purchase
        Agreement.

(3)     This selling stockholder is also a selling stockholder in a separate
        registration statement (SEC File # 333-120390)that we filed with the SEC
        on November 10, 2004. That registration statement was declared effective
        on December 2, 2004.

(4)     Includes shares issuable upon conversion of Technest shares of Series B
        preferred stock issued pursuant to the Investors' Securities Purchase

        holders upon conversion cannot exceed the number of shares that, when
        combined with all other shares of common stock and securities then owned
        by each holder and its affiliates, would result in any one of them
        owning more than 4.999% of our outstanding common stock at any point in
        time. The holder may waive this limitation. However this limitation will
        not be effective for 65 days and only allows the holder to hold up to
        9.99% of Markland outstanding shares of common stock.

(5)     Because Verdi Consulting, Inc. is the beneficial owner of 4,326,780
        shares of our common stock as of March 14, 2005 (or 4.81% of Markland
        common stock). Upon waiving the 4.99% limitation discussed in Note 4 and
        assuming Verdi Consulting has not sold any of the 4,326,780 shares of
        our common stock, Verdi Consulting may only acquire 163,246 shares of
        our common stock upon conversion of some of its Technest Series B
        preferred stock.

        that we have not prepaid the notes on March 15, 2005. The terms and
        conditions of the notes provide that the number of shares to be acquired
        by each of the holders upon conversion cannot exceed the number of
        shares that, when combined with all other shares of common stock and
        securities then owned by each holder and its affiliates, would result in
        any one of them owning more than 4.999% of our outstanding common stock
        at any point in time. The holder may waive this limitation. However,
        this waiver will not be effective for 61 days, and only allows the
        holder to hold up to 9.99% of Markland outstanding shares of common
        stock.

OVERVIEW

         The following management's discussion and analysis of financial
condition and results of operations is organized as follows:

         o        OVERVIEW. This section provides a general description of
                  Markland, its business and recent developments and events that
                  have occurred since 2002 that we believe are important in
                  understanding the results of operations and financial
                  condition and to anticipate future trends. In addition, we
                  have provided a brief description of our acquisition of EOIR
                  and our acquisition of a controlling interest in Technest.
                  These events impact the comparability of the results being
                  analyzed.

         o        RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. This section provides an analysis of
                  Markland's results of operations for the fiscal years ended
                  June 30, 2004, and June 30, 2003, and the six months ended
                  December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003. This analysis is
                  presented on a consolidated basis.

         o        LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES. This section provides an
                  analysis of Markland's cash flows for the fiscal years ended
                  June 30, 2004, and June 30, 2003, and the six months and three
                  months ended December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, as well
                  as a discussion of recent financing arrangements including
                  financings that were closed on September 21, 2004 and November
                  9, 2004.

         o        CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES. This section discusses some
                  critical accounting policies that we consider important to
                  Markland's financial condition and results of operations, and
                  that required significant judgment and estimates on the part
                  of management in application. Markland's significant
                  accounting policies, including the critical accounting
                  policies discussed in this section, are summarized in the
                  notes to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

                                    OVERVIEW

BACKGROUND

         GENERAL. We provide to the DOD and to various other INTEL; remote
sensing technology products, and services to protect our country's military
personnel and infrastructure assets. We also provide to Homeland Security;
products, services and emerging technologies to protect our country's borders,
infrastructure assets and personnel. Our mission is to build world-class
integrated solutions for the Homeland Security, DOD and INTEL marketplaces via
expansion of our existing contracts, development of our emerging technologies
and acquisition of synergistic revenue producing assets.

         We have undergone material changes to our business and our financial
structure during the period covered by the financial statements included in this
registration statement on Form SB-2 as amended. Our business, as it exists
today, consists of four business areas: remote sensor systems for military and
intelligence applications, chemical detection, border security and advanced
technologies.

         Our primary sources of operating revenue are from our wholly owned
subsidiary EOIR, which was acquired by us on June 29, 2004. EOIR offers products
and services which include; (i) design and fabrication of customized remote
sensor systems and platforms for DOD, INTEL and Homeland Security applications;
(ii) remote sensor data collection, data signal processing and data
exploitation; and (iii) training in the use of remote sensor systems and data.
These efforts involve systems engineering, system integration, prototyping,
manufacturing and field data collections as well as data analysis and
processing.

         Prior to the acquisition of EOIR, our primary sources of operating
revenue were sales of our automatic chemical agent detection and alarm system
produced by our wholly owned subsidiary Science and Technology Research Inc.
("STR"), border security logistics products and services provided by our wholly
owned subsidiary Ergo Systems, Inc. ("ERGO"), and Small Business Innovation
Research ("SBIR") funded research grants for the development of gas plasma
antenna technology.

         Our acquisition of EOIR has materially changed our business. To the
extent the following discussion refers to our financial results, you should note
that we have reported our quarterly and annual financial results under
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
("GAAP"). We did not complete our acquisition of EOIR until June 29, 2004, and
therefore, the results of operations of EOIR for the year ended June 30, 2004,
are not included in our Statement of Loss for fiscal year 2004.

         For comparative purposes, we have included a discussion of some
financial information concerning EOIR in our discussion and analysis of our
financial condition and results of operations. Information concerning the EOIR
acquisition can be found in our Current Report on Form 8-K/A filed with the SEC
on September 13, 2004 (File #000-28863) which includes audited financial
statements for EOIR for the years ended December 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002,
and unaudited financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2004, as
well as unaudited pro forma information for fiscal year ended June 30, 2003 and
the nine months ended March 31, 2004.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

ACQUISITION OF CONTROLLING INTEREST IN TECHNEST HOLDINGS, INC.

         On February 14, 2005, Markland entered into definitive agreements with
Technest, a public company with no revenue and minimal assets and operations,
Genex, and the Investors, which resulted in Markland acquiring controlling
interests in Technest simultaneous with and conditioned upon the Technest
acquisition of Genex. These transactions were completed on February 14, 2005. In
connection with the Genex Transactions, the Board of Directors of Technest and
the holders of a majority of the common stock of Technest approved a 1 for
211.18 reverse split (the "Reverse Split"). The Reverse Split will become
effective not less than 20 days after a definitive Schedule 14C Information
Statement relating to the Reverse Split is mailed to the stockholders of
Technest.

                                       35


         Technest is a public company with a class of equity securities
registered under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act. In 2002 and 2003, Technest
disposed of all of its operating businesses. Since then, Technest has no
business operations and only minimal assets.

         Our recent investment in Technest Holdings, Inc. was effected pursuant
to the terms of a Securities Purchase Agreement between us and Technest, dated
February 14, 2005. In accordance with the terms of the Securities Purchase
Agreement, on February 14, 2005, Technest issued to us 412,650,577 shares of its
common stock, $.001 par value per share (before the Reverse Split) in exchange
for 10,168,764 shares of our common stock and our agreement to issue additional
shares of our common stock upon conversion of Technest's Series B preferred
stock (which, together with the Technest Series C preferred stock and warrants,
was sold to a group of investors in Technest's February 14, 2005 private
placement described under the heading "Investor Financing" below). The issuance
of these securities was not registered under the Securities Act, but was made in
reliance upon the exemptions from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act set forth in Section 4(2) thereof.

         Technest used the shares of our common stock received from us pursuant
to the Securities Purchase Agreement to fund a portion of the merger
consideration paid to Jason Geng, the sole shareholder of Genex Technologies,
Inc. (described under the heading "Genex Acquisition" below). We intend to hold
Technest's common stock as an asset and we do not intend to take Technest
private.

         As described below in the description of the Investor Financing, the
Technest Series B preferred stock will be convertible into our common stock upon
the earlier to occur of (a) February 14, 2006 or (b) a date which is the first
trading day after the date on which our common stock has a closing bid price of
$2.50 or more for five consecutive trading days. The number of shares to be
issued will be determined by dividing the quotient of (a) $5,000,000 divided by
the lower of (i) $0.60 and (ii) the market price (as defined in the Merger
Agreement) by (b) 1,149,425.

         After giving effect to the consummation of this transaction, we
beneficially own approximately 93% of the outstanding shares of Technest's
outstanding common stock, on a primary basis, and 39% of Technest's outstanding
common stock, on a fully diluted basis. Our CEO and Chairman, Robert Tarini was
an investor in Technest's February 14, 2005 private placement and has been
elected as director and CEO of Technest. Under SEC rules, Mr. Tarini may be
deemed to be the indirect beneficial owner of all of the shares of Technest's
common stock beneficially owned by us. Mr. Tarini disclaims beneficial ownership
of these shares.


Registration Obligation in Connection with the Acquisition of Technest
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------

         We entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with Technest, dated
February 14, 2005, in connection with our purchase of Technest common stock.
Technest has agreed to use its best efforts to file a registration statement on
Form SB-2 as soon as possible after it receives a request for registration from
us (or the holder of a majority of the registrable securities if we transfer
some or all of our shares) and to cause the registration statement to be
declared effective. Pursuant to this agreement, Technest also agreed to keep the
registration statement effective until the earlier of (a) thirty-six (36) months
following the date of the agreement or (b) such time that the securities cease
to be registrable securities due to the elimination of their transfer
restrictions. Technest may suspend the effectiveness of the registration
statement for a period of no more than fifteen (15) consecutive trading days, or
an aggregate of thirty (30) trading days, each year. If the number of shares to
be registered on the registration statement does not equal the number of In
addition, we have piggyback registration rights if, within two (2) years
following the date of the agreement, Technest chooses to register any of its
securities under the Securities Act on an underwritten basis.

                                       36


Lock-up Agreement
- -----------------

         Prior to February 14, 2005, Technest was controlled by Garth LLC and
Southshore Capital Management Fund Ltd. who owned approximately 73% of the
shares of Technest common stock. Under the terms of these agreements, such
shareholders have agreed not to sell or dispose of their Technest common stock
until the earlier of six (6) months following February 14, 2005, or the date
that the registration statement for the sale of such shares effective. In
return, during the lock-up period, Technest agreed to maintain its "reporting
status" with the Securities and Exchange Commission, to file all reports that
are required to be filed, and to use its best efforts to ensure that the common
stock is quoted for public trading on a nationally recognized medium of a
particular caliber. These stockholders were also granted piggyback registration
rights to include their shares on the next registration statement we file.
Technest may waive its obligations under the lock-up agreement if needed to
increase the liquidity of, or develop the trading market of, the Technest common
stock. These agreements will terminate in the event of some specified changes in
control of Technest.

Material Relationships and Interlocking Management
- --------------------------------------------------

         Our Chairman and CEO, Robert Tarini, is also one of the investors in
Technest's February 14, 2005 private placement and will be the beneficial owner
of Technest Series C preferred stock, convertible into 30,341,954 shares of
Technest common stock, and warrants exercisable for 30,341,954 shares of common
stock. As of February 14, 2005, Mr. Tarini, when combined with our ownership in
Technest, would beneficially own an aggregate of approximately 94% of the
outstanding Technest common stock. Our investment in Technest was negotiated by
our senior management, including Mr. Tarini and was approved by a unanimous vote
of the Board of Directors of Markland including, Dr. Mackin and Mr. Ducey,
neither of whom has an interest in the transaction.

         Mr. Tarini is on our Board of Directors and the Technest Board of
Directors. He is also the Chief Executive Officer of both Markland and Technest.
Dr. Mackin is the President of both Markland and Technest. Mr. Pereira is the
Chief Financial Officer of both Markland and Technest.

THE INVESTOR FINANCING

         On February 14, 2005, Technest participated in a private placement of
securities pursuant to the terms of a Securities Purchase Agreement, between
Southridge Partners LP, Southshore Capital Fund Limited, Verdi Consulting, Inc.,
ipPartners, Inc., DKR Soundshore Oasis Holding Fund, Ltd., DKR Soundshore
Strategic Holding Fund, Ltd. and Deer Creek Fund, LP and Technest. Technest
raised $5,000,000 through this financing. The proceeds of this financing were
used to fund the acquisition of Genex (discussed below), pay transactions costs
and fund working capital. Although we are not a party to the Securities Purchase
Agreement, we have agreed to issue shares of our common stock upon conversion of
Technest Series B preferred stock sold under the Securities Purchase Agreement
and to register the resale of such common stock by the Investors.

         On February 14, 2005, immediately after the acquisition by us of a
controlling interest in Technest, the Investors consisting of Southridge
Partners LP, Southshore Capital Fund Limited, Verdi Consulting, Inc.,
ipPartners, Inc., DKR Soundshore Oasis Holding Fund, Ltd., DKR Soundshore
Strategic Holding Fund, Ltd. and Deer Creek Fund, LP paid $5,000,000 in cash for
1,149,425 shares of Technest Series B preferred stock, five-year warrants to
purchase up to 242,735,571 shares of Technest common stock for an exercise price
of $.0307 per share, and 1,149,425 shares of Technest Series C preferred stock
convertible into 242,735,571 shares of Technest's common stock (before the
Reverse Split). After the Reverse Split, the warrants will be exercisable for
1,149,425 shares of Technest common stock and the Series C preferred stock will
be convertible into 1,149,425 shares of Technest common stock. These securities
were sold in units for a price of $4.35 per unit each. Each unit consists of one
share of Series B preferred stock; one share of Series C preferred stock and a
warrant to purchase up to 211.18 shares of Technest's common stock.

                                       37


         The issuance and sale of the securities were not registered under the
Securities Act, but were made in reliance upon the exemptions from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act set forth in Section 4(2)
thereof and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder, insofar as such
securities were issued only to "accredited investors" within the meaning of Rule
501 of Regulation D.

         The Technest Series B preferred stock will be convertible into our
common stock upon the earlier to occur of (a) February 14, 2006 or (b) a date
which is the first trading day after the date on which our common stock has a
closing bid price of $2.50 or more for five consecutive trading days. The number
of shares to be issued will be determined by dividing the quotient of (a)
$5,000,000 divided by the lower of (i) $0.60 and (ii) the market price (as
defined in the Merger Agreement) by (b) 1,149,425. Market Price means the
average closing bid for the 20 previous trading days. Upon conversion, the
aggregate number of our common shares held by the holders of Series B preferred
stock and its affiliates may not exceed 4.999% of the outstanding shares of our
common stock. The holder may demand a waiver of this limitation but such waiver
will not be effective for 65 days after the request, is limited to the holder
itself and only allows the holder to hold up to 9.999% of the outstanding our
common stock. Shares of the Series B preferred stock have a liquidation
preference of $2.175 per share, may only vote on changes to the rights,
privileges and priority of the Series B preferred stock, do not accrue
dividends, are not redeemable and are convertible into our common stock.

         The Technest Series C preferred stock is convertible at the option of
the stockholder at any time. The number of shares of Technest common stock into
which each share of Series C preferred stock is convertible is determined by
dividing $2.175 by the Series C Conversion Price. The Series C Conversion Price
is $.0102993 (before the Reverse Split). After the Reverse Split the Series C
Conversion Price will be $2.175. Upon conversion, the aggregate number of shares
of Technest common stock held by the holder of Series C preferred stock and its
affiliates may not exceed 4.999% of the outstanding Technest common stock. The
holder may demand a waiver of this limitation but such waiver will not be
effective for 65 days after the request, is limited to the holder itself and
only allows the holder to hold up to 9.999% of the outstanding Technest common
stock. Shares of the Series C preferred stock have a liquidation preference of
approximately $2.175 per share, may only vote on changes to the rights,
privileges and priority of the Series C preferred stock, receive dividends on an
as converted basis whenever dividends are made to the Technest common stock
holders, are not redeemable by Technest and are convertible into Technest common
stock.

         Technest has agreed to issue additional shares of its common stock to
the Investors if the units do not have a market value of $6.525 at the end of
one year. For each unit an Investor continues to hold on February 14, 2006,
Technest will issue to the Investor a number of shares of common stock
calculated in accordance with the following formula:


     

((Units Held on Reset Date) x [(Adjustment Price) - Combined Market Price)]) / THNS Market Price
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


         "ADJUSTMENT PRICE" shall mean $6.525 (subject to appropriate adjustment
         in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or other
         similar recapitalization affecting such shares)

         "COMBINED MARKET PRICE" shall mean the THNS Market Price added to the
         MRKL Market Price.

         "MRKL MARKET PRICE" shall mean the average of the closing bid prices of
         the Markland common stock during the period beginning ten (10) trading
         days prior to the reset date and ending ten (10) trading days after the
         reset date as reported by the OTC Bulletin Board or any similar
         organization or agency of national recognition succeeding to its
         functions of reporting prices for the Markland common stock.

                                       38


         "THNS MARKET PRICE" shall mean the average of the closing bid prices of
         the common stock during the period beginning ten (10) Trading Days
         prior to the Reset Date and ending ten (10) Trading Days after the
         Reset Date as reported by the OTC Bulletin Board or any similar
         organization or agency of national recognition succeeding to its
         functions of reporting prices for the common stock.

REGISTRATION OBLIGATIONS

         We entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, dated February 14,
2005, with the Investors, pursuant to which we agreed to register 17,000,000

preferred stock of Technest, and common stock issuable as liquidated damages for
breach of some covenants contained in the agreement.

         Under the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, we have agreed to

following the closing date of the transaction; and use our best efforts to cause
the registration statement to be declared effective as promptly as possible
thereafter but not later than one hundred thirty-five days following the closing

holder in connection with the Investors' Investments for each month (and pro

to meet the relevant filing date, the relevant effective date, or for such
failure to keep the registration statement effective. we may also pay such
liquidated damages by issuing shares of common stock valued at ninety (90%)
percent of the average of the trailing five (5) trading days' closing prices
before the payment that are the subject of a then-effective registration
statement.

         If, during the effectiveness period, the number of shares of common
stock issuable in lieu of the payment of partial liquidated damages exceeds the
number of such shares then-registered in a registration statement, we will be
required to file a new registration statement, as soon as reasonably practicable
but no later than forty-five (45) days following the date on which we knows or
reasonably should have known that such registration statement is required.

BROKERS

         Greenfield Capital Partners LLC is a registered broker-dealer retained
by Technest in connection with the Genex Acquisition. For its services,
Greenfield Capital Partners LLC will receive a fee of approximately $650,000. A
copy of this Agreement has been filed as an exhibit to this report and is
incorporated by reference herein.

THE ACQUISITION OF GENEX TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

         The acquisition of Genex was effected pursuant to an Agreement and Plan
of Merger dated February 14, 2005, by and among Markland, Technest, Mtech
Acquisition, Inc. ("MTECH"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Technest, Genex and
Jason Geng, the sole stockholder of Genex. A copy of the Merger Agreement is
attached as Exhibit 2.3 to our current report on Form 8-K dated February 15,
2005, and incorporated by reference herein.

         In accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, on February 14,
2005, MTECH, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Technest, merged with and into Genex,
with Genex surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Technest. As a
result of the merger, all of the outstanding shares of the capital stock of
Genex were automatically converted into the right to receive in the aggregate
(i) $3 million; (ii) 10,168,764 shares of our common stock; and (iii) if earned,
contingent payments in the form of additional shares of Technest common stock.
In addition, the Merger Agreement provides for Mr. Geng to receive a six month
unsecured promissory note in the principal amount of $550,000 that pays interest
at the rate of 6% per annum. Jason Geng's share consideration will be adjusted
to reflect changes in the closing bid price of our common stock in the 10
trading days following February 14, 2005, subject to limitations set forth in
the Merger Agreement.

         If, following completion of the Genex Transactions, Genex meets
specified revenue goals at the end of each of the first three years following
February 14, 2005, Technest will pay to Mr. Geng contingent consideration of
additional shares of Technest common stock equal to the fair market value of 30%
of the difference in Genex's gross revenue during the year proceeding the
payment and its gross revenue in 2004. Any shares of Technest common stock
issued pursuant to this provision of the Merger Agreement will be issued in
reliance upon the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities
Act by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.

         In the event that the Intraoral Technologies (as such term is defined
in the Merger Agreement) owned by Genex prior to February 14, 2005 are
commercialized, Jason Geng shall be entitled to fifty percent (50%) of all
profits generated from the Intraoral Technologies for a period of five years
following February 14, 2005. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any revenue
resulting from the Intraoral Technologies shall be excluded from the calculation
of the earn out described in the foregoing paragraph.

         Markland, Technest and MTECH, on one hand, and Jason Geng, on the other
hand have agreed to indemnify each other for breaches of representations,
warranties and failures to perform covenants. Indemnity is available pursuant to
the indemnity escrow agreement for any claim by us or Technest above $100,000.
Jason Geng's liability is limited to the amount in the indemnity escrow fund,
set at closing as $2 million of Markland common stock taken from the
consideration paid to Jason Geng also on closing. Jason Geng has agreed to
indemnify the Technest entities for all losses associated with disputes relating
to the title of Genex shares, taxes, ERISA, environmental and intellectual
property claims for amounts up to the full consideration for the merger. Jason
Geng also agreed to pay Genex for any amount a governmental entity refuses to
pay in relation to the DCAA audit currently being conducted. Jason Geng would be
reimbursed for any such payment by a release of Markland common stock from the
indemnity escrow fund with a fair market value equal to the amount paid to
Genex.

OUR REGISTRATION OBLIGATIONS

         We entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with Jason Geng, the
sole stockholder of Genex, on February 14, 2005, in connection with its issuance

acquisition of Genex.

         We have agreed to file a registration statement for the shares of our
common stock paid to Jason Geng on or before June 1, 2005, plus one day for each
day when a registration statement is not effective and available for the resale
of common stock issued to the investors in the Securities Purchase Agreement,
dated September 21, 2004. We have agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts
to cause the registration statement to be declared effective by August 1, 2005.
Pursuant to the agreement, we must also use commercially reasonable efforts to
keep the registration statement effective until the date on which Mr. Geng no
longer owns any of the registrable securities, unless the shares of common stock
have been sold or may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act without
volume restrictions.

REGISTRATION OBLIGATIONS OF TECHNEST

         Technest entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with Jason Geng,

recognizes gross revenues in excess of a particular dollar amount in each of the
three years following Technest's acquisition of Genex, within forty-five (45)
days following each of the three yearly determinations of whether earnout
payments are due. Technest agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to
cause each registration statement to be declared effective within one hundred
five (105) days following each such earnout payment determination. Pursuant to
the agreement Technest must also use commercially reasonable efforts to keep
each registration statement effective until the date on which Jason Geng no
longer holds any of the registrable securities, unless the shares of Technest
common stock covered by the registration statement have been sold or may be sold
pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act without volume restrictions.

LOCK-UP AGREEMENTS

         We entered into a lock-up agreement with Jason Geng and Technest

issuance.

                                MARKLAND BUSINESS

REMOTE SENSOR SYSTEMS FOR MILITARY AND INTELLIGENCE APPLICATIONS

         Our acquisition of EOIR on June 29, 2004, a company which provides
remote sensing technology products and services to the United States Department
of Defense and to various other United States Intelligence Agencies, is a very
important part of our ongoing business strategy of creating a world-class
integrated portfolio of solutions for the Homeland Security, DOD and INTEL
marketplaces.

         EOIR's most significant source of revenues is an Omnibus Contract with
the United States Army Night Vision and Electronic Sensors Directorate which has
a total potential value of approximately $406 million over its five year period
of performance. The Omnibus Contract has an extensive and varied scope that
requires us to provide a very broad range of products and technical services.
For those products and technical services that EOIR does not possess in-house,
we have and continue to subcontract to our team members and other subcontractors
as necessary.

CHEMICAL DETECTORS

         In October 2003, our subsidiary, Security Technology, Inc., acquired
all of the common stock of Science and Technology Research, Inc., a chemical
detector manufacturer, as part of our ongoing business strategy of creating an
integrated portfolio of homeland security solutions.

         STR has a contract with the U.S. Navy to be the sole producer of the
U.S. Navy's shipboard Automatic Chemical Agent Detection and Alarm System used
to detect all classic nerve and blister agents as well as other chemical warfare
agent vapors. STR's sole source of revenues is this contract with the United
States Navy which has a total potential value of approximately $37,000,000 over
its period of performance. As of June 30, 2004, we had completed delivery
pursuant to all outstanding orders under this contract. We are experiencing a
decline in demand for our chemical detector unit from the U.S. Navy. We plan to
compensate for this reduced demand by marketing this technology to new customers
within the Homeland Security marketplace and by combining it with other
technologies for sale to customers other than the US Navy. During the six months
ended December 31, 2004 our subsidiary STR recognized approximately $428,851 of
revenue from this contract.

                                       42


         We are presently working on the design of a next generation "point"
chemical detector product, which will also operate using Ion Mobility
Spectrography (IMS) cell technology and provide networked wireless communication
capability.

         On December 23, 2003, the U.S. Navy signed a ten-year non-exclusive
license agreement with us to transfer particular chemical detection technology
intellectual property rights to us. We believe the license will allow us to
further expand the applications for the "point" chemical detection technology
and market the technology to non-defense customers such as foreign governments
and commercial entities. The company is combining "stand off" chemical detection
technologies from EOIR which are based on hyper spectral infra red technology
with the "point" chemical detection technology of STR which is based on Ion
Mobility Spectroscopy. This integrated and combined chemical detection
capability we believe will accelerate penetration into new markets for the
chemical detection products we now offer and will help to increase our revenues
in the next fiscal year for chemical detection products.

BORDER SECURITY

         We acquired the assets of Ergo Systems, Inc., in January 2003. This
acquisition provided us with contracts with the Department of Homeland Security
to maintain, integrate, and implement design enhancements to border security
systems installed at U.S. ports of entry for the Dedicated Commuter Lane, which
is part of a larger U.S. Customs and Immigration and Naturalization Service
initiative to reduce wait times, improve data accuracy, and improve overall
efficiencies at all border crossings for both freight and passengers.

         During the fiscal year we entered into a teaming agreement with
Accenture, who was recently awarded the US VISIT Contract. The purpose of this
contract is to secure our borders and expedite the entry/exit process while
enhancing the integrity of our immigration system and respecting the privacy of
visitors to the US. We have recently been awarded a subcontract which enables
the company to derive revenues from the US VISIT Contract. During the six months
ended December 31, 2004 our subsidiary Ergo Systems, Inc. recognized
approximately $227,590 of revenue from these contracts. Management believes that
the potential for increased revenues has been greatly enhanced by this
subcontract award.

ADVANCED TECHNOLOGIES

         Through research and development as well as intellectual property
acquisitions, we have established a portfolio of advanced and emerging
technologies, which we intend to commercialize and utilize within our own
proprietary products or license out for the purpose of revenue generation. These
advanced technologies and intellectual property are as follows:

         o        Gas plasma antenna,
         o        Vehicle stopping system,
         o        Acoustic Core(TM) signature analysis,
         o        APTIS(TM) human screening portal, and
         o        Cryptography software.

         Of these five advanced technologies we believe that the nine issued and
pending U.S. patents related to gas plasma antenna technology with demonstrated
applications in the fields of ballistic missile defense, phased array radar, and
forward deployed decontamination have the most demonstrated potential to create
future sustained revenue streams.

COMPANY HISTORY

         EVENTS PRIOR TO FISCAL 2002. Markland, previously known as Quest Net,
was incorporated in Colorado in November 1995, under the name "A.P. Sales Inc."
In December 1998, A.P. Sales Inc. dissolved as a Colorado corporation,
redomiciled in Florida and changed its name to Quest Net Corp. In 2001 our only
asset was the stock of a subsidiary, CWTel, Inc. ("CWTel"), a company in the
telecommunications business. We acquired this company in March 2000 and secured
our payment obligations with 30,000 shares of our Series A non-voting redeemable
convertible preferred stock. CWTel filed for bankruptcy and was liquidated on
March 11, 2002. After the bankruptcy of our subsidiary, we had no active
business operations. On June 30, 2003, we issued 30,000 shares of our Series A
non-voting redeemable convertible preferred stock in satisfaction of our
remaining obligations to the holder of the security interest.

                                       43


         On March 15, 2001, we acquired all the outstanding capital stock of a
company called Vidikron of America, Inc. ("Vidikron"), a development stage
company in the business of creating digital broadband and wireless networking
solutions for the internet. The sole stockholder of Vidikron was Markland LLC.
To acquire Vidikron we issued 10 shares of our convertible Series B preferred
stock to Markland LLC. Markland LLC converted all of its Series B preferred
stock in June 2001, which, resulted in Markland LLC owning approximately 85% of
our then outstanding common stock. There is no Series B preferred stock
outstanding. At this time we changed our name to Markland Technologies, Inc.

         On October 19, 2000 we executed a promissory note for $3,500,000 in
favor of James LLC. In July 2001, after the Vidikron acquisition, James LLC
elected to convert $2,500,000 of the principal amount of its $3,500,000
promissory note, together with $125,000 accrued interest, into shares of our
common stock. In September 2001, we assumed all of Vidikron's rights and
obligations under a $3,500,000 secured revolving credit facility with Market
LLC. These transactions made Market LLC our senior secured lender.

         EVENTS DURING FISCAL 2002. In May 2002, we received a notice of default
from Market LLC. In June of 2002, we transferred all the stock of Vidikron to
Market LLC in partial satisfaction of our indebtedness to Market LLC. After this
partial payment, we still owed Market LLC $500,000. Our disposition of the
business of Vidikron was treated as a discontinued operation. As a result, we
recorded a loss of $3,259,421 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002 resulting
from discontinued operations. At this point in our history we again had no
active business operations. In fiscal 2003, we recorded a gain of $998,713
resulting from the settlement of some liabilities and obligations recorded in
previous periods in connection with the discontinued operations.

         EVENTS DURING FISCAL 2003. In December 2002, we entered into a
transaction with Eurotech Ltd., ipPartners, Inc., Market LLC, and James LLC.
Pursuant to this transaction, the following took place:

         o        We formed a subsidiary corporation called Security Technology,
                  Inc.

         o        Eurotech transferred particular rights to its Acoustic Core
                  Technology(TM) to our subsidiary.

         o        Crypto.com Inc. (a subsidiary of Eurotech) and ipPartners,
                  Inc. transferred particular rights to their cryptology
                  technologies to our subsidiary.

         o        90% of the shares of our common stock held by Market LLC and
                  James LLC were retired.

         o        We issued shares of common stock representing 80% of our then
                  issued and outstanding common stock to Eurotech, Ltd. and
                  shares of common stock representing 10% of our then issued and
                  outstanding shares of common stock to ipPartners, Inc.

         o        We issued $5,225,000 in stated value of our Series C 5%
                  cumulative convertible preferred stock to Market LLC and James
                  LLC in satisfaction of $5,225,000 of convertible notes held by
                  Market LLC and James LLC and in exchange for their agreement
                  to surrender 4,498,638 shares of our common stock.

         We are not a majority-owned subsidiary of Eurotech, Ltd. due to the
issuances of additional common stock.

         In January of 2003, we acquired all of the common stock of Ergo
Systems, Inc. ("Ergo"), a provider of security logistic support and related
product development services. Ergo has a contract with the United States
government to provide border security logistic support at five ports of entry.
In consideration for this acquisition, we agreed to pay $400,000 in cash,
payable at milestones related to our research efforts. During the year ended
June 30, 2004, we recognized $955,736 from these services.

                                       44


         In March of 2003, we entered into an agreement to acquire the
intellectual property (including patents), equipment and government contracts
relating to our gas plasma antenna technology from ASI Technology Corporation,
but this transaction did not close until September 30, 2003. In consideration
for this acquisition we issued 283,333 shares of common stock valued at $850,000
and agreed to pay $150,000. During the year ended June 30, 2004, we recognized
revenue of $261,479 from SBIR research grants related to this technology.

         EVENTS DURING FISCAL 2004. In October of 2003, we acquired all of the
common stock of Science and Technology Research Corporation, Inc. ("STR"). This
company is the producer of the U.S. Navy's shipboard automatic chemical agent
detection and alarm system. In consideration for this acquisition, we issued
1,539,779 shares of common stock valued at $5,100,000 and paid $900,000 in cash,
and issued a promissory note for $375,000. During the year ended June 30, 2004,
we recognized revenue of $4,796,715 from sales of our automatic chemical agent
detection and alarm system to the U.S. Navy. We also entered into a consulting
agreement with the former principal shareholder and employee.

         On June 29, 2004, we acquired all of the outstanding stock of EOIR for
$8,000,000 in cash and $11,000,000 in principal amount of five year notes
secured by the assets and stock of EOIR. EOIR is a provider of technology and
services to the United States Army Night Vision and Electronic Sensors
Directorate and has expertise in wide area remote sensing using both
electro-optic and infrared technologies. Markland intends to continue to use the
assets of EOIR for this purpose. We expect that EOIR will represent a majority
of Markland's revenues going forward. We expect that these sensor science
products will be our most significant revenue producing business.

         FINANCING ACTIVITIES. We have financed our business activities through
borrowings and private placements of our securities to institutional investors.
We have engaged in the following financing activities:

         o        In October 2003, we borrowed $1,400,000 from Bay View Capital,
                  LLC. This borrowing was repaid in April 2004.

         o        At various times between April 2003 and March 2004 we raised
                  an aggregate of approximately $3,832,000 through private
                  placements of our Series D preferred stock to an institutional
                  investor.

         o        On April 2, 2004, we sold 3,333,333 shares of common stock and
                  warrants to purchase 3,333,333 shares of our common stock for
                  gross proceeds of $2,000,000 to three investors in a private

         o        As of April 2004, all of our Series C cumulative convertible
                  preferred stock has been converted into common stock and none
                  remains outstanding.

         o        On June 30, 2004, we sold 3,500 shares of Series D preferred
                  stock to an institutional investor for $2,000,000 in
                  connection with the acquisition of EOIR.

EVENTS AFTER FISCAL 2004
- ------------------------

         o        On September 21, 2004, we sold secured convertible promissory
                  notes and warrants to purchase shares of common stock to two
                  institutional investors for approximately $4,000,000.

                                       45


         o        On November 9, 2004 we sold convertible promissory notes and
                  warrants to purchase shares of common stock to two
                  institutional investors for approximately $1,350,000.

         o        On December 7, 2004 we issued warrants to purchase an

                  Capital Partners and a finder in compensation for publicity
                  and marketing services.

         o        On December 28, 2004, we entered into agreements with two
                  institutional investors to amend the terms of warrants issued
                  to them for the purchase of up to 5,950,000 shares of our
                  common stock, $0.0001 par value per share. As of December 31,
                  2004, 1,968,750 of these warrants were converted under these
                  revised agreements for net proceeds of $1,181,250.

RECENT EVENTS
- -------------

         o        Subsequent to December 31, 2004, executives and consultants of
                  the company were issued 14,319,237 shares of our common stock
                  based on employment agreements.

         o        Subsequent to December 31, 2004, additional warrants were
                  exercised to purchase 7,225,000 shares of our common stock at
                  $0.60 per share for proceeds of $4,335,000.

         o        On February 14, 2005, Markland entered into definitive
                  agreements with Technest, a public company with no revenue and
                  minimal assets and operations, Genex Technologies, Inc.
                  ("Genex"), and the investors, which resulted in Markland
                  acquiring controlling interests in Technest simultaneous with
                  and conditioned upon the Technest acquisition of Genex. In
                  accordance with the terms of the Markland Securities Purchase
                  Agreement on February 14, 2005, Technest issued a controlling
                  interest to Markland in exchange for 10,168,764 shares of
                  Markland common stock and Markland agreed to issue additional
                  shares of common stock upon conversion of Technest's Series B
                  preferred stock. Immediately after the acquisition by Markland
                  of a controlling interest in Technest, investors paid
                  $5,000,000 in cash for shares of Technest Series B preferred
                  stock, five-year warrants to purchase Technest common stock,
                  and shares of Technest Series C convertible preferred stock.
                  The acquisition of Genex was effected pursuant to an Agreement
                  and Plan of Merger dated February 14, 2005, by and among
                  Markland, Technest, Mtech Acquisition, Inc. ("MTECH"), a
                  wholly-owned subsidiary of Technest, Genex and Jason Geng, the
                  sole stockholder of Genex. As a result of the merger, all of
                  the outstanding shares of the capital stock of Genex were
                  automatically converted into the right to receive in the
                  aggregate (i) $3 million; (ii) 10,168,764 shares of Markland's
                  common stock (the shares of Markland common stock issued to
                  Technest); and (iii) if earned, contingent payments in the
                  form of additional shares of Technest common stock. In
                  addition, Mr. Geng received a six month unsecured promissory
                  note in the principal amount of $550,000 that pays interest at
                  the rate of 6% per annum.

         o        Subsequent to December 31, 2004 we issued warrants to purchase
                  2,943,750 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of
                  $0.60

         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS COMPARISON OF FISCAL 2003 AND FISCAL 2004

         Our acquisition of EOIR has materially changed our business. To the
extent the following discussion refers to our financial results, you should note
that we have reported our quarterly and annual financial results under
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
("GAAP"). We did not complete our acquisition of EOIR Technologies, Inc. until
June 29, 2004, and therefore, the results of operations of EOIR for the year
ended June 30, 2004, are not included in our Statement of Loss for fiscal year
2004. For comparative purposes, we have included a discussion of some financial
information concerning EOIR in our discussion and analysis of our financial
condition and results of operations for the fiscal years 2003 and 2004.

CAREFULLY COPIES OF THESE DOCUMENTS AND THIS REGISTRATION STATEMENT BEFORE
MAKING AN INVESTMENT DECISION.

         REVENUE:

         Revenue for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004 was $6,013,930,
compared to $658,651 for the same period in 2003.

         For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004, approximately $4,796,715 was
from our chemical detection business, including sales of the ACADA product,
approximately $955,736 was from sales of our border security products and
services, and approximately $261,479 was from SBIR grants for the development of
our gas plasma antenna technology.

         Our revenues in 2003 included approximately $440,276 was from sales of
our border security products and services and approximately $218,375 was from
SBIR grants for the development of our gas plasma antenna technology.

         On June 29, 2004 we acquired EOIR. As reported on our current report on
Form 8-K /A filed with the SEC on September 13, 2004, EOIR had revenues of
$42,680,858 and $30,570,936 for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2003 and
December 31, 2002, respectively. EOIR revenues were derived primarily from the
remote sensor system products and services of EOIR. On a pro forma basis
combining Markland (including our STR subsidiary) and EOIR, our revenues for the
period ended June 30, 2004 were $59,920,000.

         COST OF REVENUES:

         Cost of revenues for the year ended June 30, 2004 was $4,674,593,
compared to $445,218 for fiscal year 2003. Cost of revenues increased year to
year as a result of an increase in sales. The increase in costs was primarily
the result of the change in revenue mix and costs of materials for the
manufacture of the ACADA chemical detector unit.

         Gross profits for the year ended June 30, 2004 was $1,339,337 compared
to $213,433 for fiscal year 2003. Gross profits increased as a result of
additional revenue from the acquisition of STR.

         We had a gross profit margin of approximately 22% for the fiscal year
ended June 30, 2004, compared to 32% for the year ended June 30, 2003.

         We expect the remote sensor system products of EOIR to provide a
significant increase to our total gross profit dollars. As reported on our
current report on Form 8-K/A filed with the SEC on September 13, 2004, EOIR's
gross profit was $8,823,724 and $6,999,370 for the years ended December 31, 2003
and 2002, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2003 and December 31,
2002, EOIR's gross profit margin has been 20.8% and 23.3% of revenue.

         SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES:

         Selling, general and administrative expense for the year ended June 30,
2004 increased by $4,127,069 to $5,313,448, compared to selling, general and
administrative expense for the year ended June 30, 2003 which was $1,186,379.

         Selling, general and administrative expense was primarily composed of
payroll, consultants, legal and accounting fees, and vendors. The increase in
selling, general and administrative expense was primarily due to increases in
staff resulting from the acquisition of STR and increases due to related sales
growth. We expect this expense to increase significantly with the acquisition of
EOIR. As reported on our current report on Form 8-K/A filed with the SEC on
September 13, 2004, EOIR's selling, general and administration expense was
$5,622,521 and $5,188,798, for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002
respectively.

                                       47


         RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT:

         During fiscal year 2004, we spent $49,289 on research and development.
During the fiscal year ended 2003, $522,657 was spent on research and
development activities. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004, we reduced
our research and development efforts to concentrate our financial resources on
product marketing activities and as a result of completion of funded SBIR
contracts. Included in research and development costs for the year ended June
30, 2003 is $300,000 payable to SyQwest, a related party, for development costs
related to a vehicle stopping technology designed for use in protecting our
borders.

         INTEREST EXPENSE:

         Interest expense for the years ended June 30, 2004 and June 30, 2003
was $360,347 and $226,751 respectively. Interest and financing expense was from
notes payable issued for bridge financing, premium financing arrangements and
other financing costs.

         Interest expense for EOIR for the years ended December 31, 2003 and
December 31, 2002 was $30,239 and $22,291, respectively. Interest expense was
from a revolving line of credit used by EOIR and various equipment loans. In
connection with our acquisition of EOIR, EOIR issued, and we guaranteed,
$11,000,000 in original principal amount of notes due to the former stockholders
of EOIR. These notes bear interest at the rate of six (6%) percent per annum and
must be repaid within the next five years. The carrying value of these notes is
$9,532,044 at June 30, 2004. We expect significant increases in interest expense
as a result of this financing and the convertible debt financing completed on
September 21, 2004.

         COMPENSATORY ELEMENT OF STOCK ISSUANCES FOR SELLING, GENERAL AND
         ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES:

         Compensatory element of stock issuances for selling, general and
administrative expenses for the years ended June 30, 2004 and June 30, 2003 was
$5,211,737 and $2,051,822 respectively. In fiscal year 2003, this amount
consisted of charges for the issuance of 6,748,465 shares of restricted stock
issued at market value.

         In fiscal year 2004, this amount consisted of charges for the issuance
of 5,867,103 shares of restricted stock at a valuation of 100% of market value
of unrestricted stock at the time of issuance. We use our equity to compensate
management and consultants who provide services to us. We expect to continue to
do so in the future. For this reason we expect to continue to incur such
charges.

         LOSS FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS:

         Loss from continuing operations for the year ended June 30, 2004 was
$10,511,213. This loss resulted primarily from non-cash charges for the
compensatory element of stock issuances of $5,211,737 and from selling, general
and administrative expenses, which were offset by gross profit.

         Loss from continuing operations for the years ended June 30, 2003 was
$3,835,594. This loss resulted primarily from non-cash charges for the
compensatory element of stock issuances of $2,051,822 and from selling, general
and administrative expenses, which were offset to a small extent by gross
profit.

         As reported on our current report on Form 8-K/A filed with the SEC on
September 13, 2004, operating income for EOIR for the years ended December 31,
2003 and December 31, 2002 was $3,201,203 and $1,810,572, respectively. This
income was primarily derived from sales under our Omnibus Contract with the
United States Army Night Vision and Electronic Sensors Directorate. Although
these sales are highly concentrated in a single customer, we expect these sales
to continue and do not anticipate a reduction in orders. On a pro forma basis
combining Markland (including our STR subsidiary) and EOIR, loss from operations
for the period ended June 30, 2004 was $7,796,000.

         GAIN FROM DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS.

         Gain from discontinued operations for the year ended June 30, 2003 was
$998,713. This resulted from the settlement of some liabilities and obligations
previously recorded in connection with the discontinued operations. There was no
adjustment due to discontinued operations for the year ended June 30, 2004.

                                       48


         NET LOSS:

         Net loss for the year ended June 30, 2004 was $10,511,213 ($1.31 per
share). Net loss for the year ended June 30, 2003 was $2,836,881 ($1.72 per
share).

         As reported on our current report on Form 8-K/A filed with the SEC on
September 13, 2004, net income for EOIR for the years ended December 31, 2003
and December 31, 2002 was $3,165,346 and $1,791,829, respectively. On a pro
forma basis combining Markland (including our STR subsidiary) and EOIR, net loss
for the period ended June 30, 2004 was $13,465,000.

         PREFERRED STOCK DIVIDENDS:

         Preferred stock dividends for the year ended June 30, 2004 were
$4,584,248. This consisted of deemed dividends to the holder of our Series C
preferred stock of $844,270, deemed dividends to the holder of our Series D
preferred stock of $3,555,500, and actual dividends paid upon conversion to
common stock to the holder of our Series C preferred stock of $184,478. Deemed
dividends represent non-cash charges for $4,584,248.

         Preferred stock dividends for the year ended June 30, 2003 were
$4,761,971. This consisted of deemed dividends to the holder of our Series C
preferred stock of $501,755, deemed dividends to the holder of our Series D
preferred stock of $4,107,500, and actual dividends paid upon conversion to
common stock to the holder of our Series C preferred stock of $152,716. Deemed
dividends represent non-cash charges for $4,761,971.

         We expect to continue to finance our operations with additional debt
and equity financing including, possibly, additional sales of our Series D
preferred stock with beneficial conversion features. Such financing could result
in additional charges for preferred stock dividends.

         NET LOSS APPLICABLE TO COMMON STOCKHOLDERS:

         Net loss applicable to common stockholders for the year ended June 30,
2004 was $15,095,461 ($1.39 per share). Net loss applicable to common
stockholders for the year ended June 30 2003 was $7,598,852 ($1.52 per share).
On a pro forma basis combining Markland (including our STR subsidiary) and EOIR,
net loss per common share for the year ended June 30, 2004 was $(1.20).

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS COMPARISON OF THE THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2004 AND
DECEMBER 31, 2003 AND COMPARISON OF THE SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2004 AND
DECEMBER 31, 2003

REVENUE:

         Revenue for the quarter ended December 31, 2004 increased by 423% to
$17,044,677 compared to $3,256,771 for the same period in 2003, which was prior
to our acquisition of EOIR. Revenue for the six months ended December 31, 2004
increased by 821% to $32,814,528 compared to $3,563,495 for the same period in
2003, which was prior to our acquisition of EOIR. Our EOIR subsidiary accounted
for approximately 97% of these revenues in the six months ended December 31,
2004.

         EOIR's most significant source of revenues is a contract with the
United States Army Night Vision and Electronic Sensors Directorate.
Approximately 84% of our revenues were received from this contract. We expect
orders to continue at or above current levels under this contract, however, no
assurance can be given that this will be the case.

COST OF REVENUES:

         Cost of revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2004 increased by
540% to $13,283,832, compared to $2,072,625 for the same period in 2003. Cost of
revenues for the six months ended December 31, 2004 increased by 1,004% to
$25,726,725, compared to $2,329,581 for the same period in 2003. Cost of
revenues increased as a result of an increase in sales resulting from our
acquisition of EOIR.

                                       49


         Gross profits for the quarter ended December 31, 2004 increased by 218%
to $3,760,845 compared to $1,184,146 for the same period in 2003. Gross profits
for the six months ended December 31, 2004 increased by 474% to $7,087,803
compared to $1,233,914 for the same period in 2003.

         Gross profits increased as a result of additional revenue from the
acquisition of EOIR. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue for both the
quarter and six months ended December 31, 2004 was approximately 22% compared to
35% for the same period in 2003. Most of our revenues for the quarter and six
months ended December 31, 2003 were derived from product sales. After our
acquisition of EOIR most of our revenues for the quarter and six months ended
December 31, 2004 are from variable cost contracts which enjoy greater certainty
of profit, compared to fixed price contracts, but at lower profit margins. It is
our intention to create a balanced portfolio of contracts as revenues from
Markland group companies mature.

SELLING GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE:

         Selling, general and administrative expense for the quarter ended
December 31, 2004 increased by 708% to $5,157,465 compared to $638,376 in the
same period in 2003. Selling, general and administrative expense was primarily
composed of payroll, consultants, legal and accounting fees, and vendors. The
increase in selling, general and administrative expense was primarily due to
increases in staff resulting from the acquisition of EOIR and increases due to
related sales growth. There was also a provision for severance payments for some
of the staff at EOIR amounting to $355,000. As a result of the recent
acquisition and funding activity of the company, legal and accounting expenses
relating to SEC filings increased substantially and were approximately $700,000
for the quarter ended December 31, 2004.

         Selling, general and administrative expense for the six months ended
December 31, 2004 increased by 668% to $8,728,505 compared to $1,136,188 in the
same period in 2003.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT:

         During the quarter and six months ended December 31, 2004, we spent
$110,267 on research and development activities compared to no expenditure for
the quarter and six months ended December 31, 2003.

COMPENSATORY ELEMENT OF STOCK ISSUANCES FOR SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE
EXPENSE:

         Compensatory element of stock issuances for selling, general and
administrative expenses for the quarter ended December 31, 2004 increased by 98%
to $2,254,566 compared to $1,137,162 for the same period in 2003. For the six
months ended December 31, 2004 the charge for compensatory element of stock
issuances increased by 46% to $2,253,423 compared to $1,539,142 for the same
period in 2003.

         These charges include amortization and mark-to-market adjustments on
unearned stock compensation. We use our equity as a non-cash method of
compensating management and consultants who provide services to us and expect to
continue to do so in the future.

OPERATING LOSS:

         Loss from operations for the quarter ended December 31, 2004 increased
by 523% to $4,412,710 compared to $708,059 for the comparative period in 2003.
This loss resulted primarily from non-cash charges for the compensatory element
of stock issuances, losses on disposals of equipment and amortization of
intangible assets resulting from our recent acquisitions. These non-cash charges
amounted to $2,905,823 for the three months ended December 31, 2004. Loss from
operations for the six months ended December 31, 2004 increased by 224% to
$5,161,363 compared with $1,591,417 for the same period in 2003. Non-cash
charges for the compensatory element of stock issuances, losses on disposals of
equipment and amortization of intangible assets resulting from our recent
acquisitions amounted to $3,410,394 for the six months ended December 31, 2004.

                                       50


INTEREST EXPENSE:

         Interest expense for the quarter ended December 31, 2004 increased
substantially to $3,604,187 compared to $119,150 for the quarter ended December
31, 2003. The non-cash element of these interest charges amounted to $3,309,862.
Interest and financing expense was from notes payable issued for bridge
financing, and other financing costs. These charges represent the accretion of
debt discount to the fair market value of the notes and amortization of deferred
financing costs over the term of the convertible notes.

         We issued two convertible notes on September 21, 2004 and November 9,
2004. As this short-term financing has a term of one year, these charges are
accreted over a relatively short period of time resulting in substantial
non-cash interest charges. We expect such charges to recur during the life of
these notes. In connection with our acquisition of EOIR, EOIR issued, and we
guaranteed, $11,000,000 in original principal amount of notes due to the former
stockholders of EOIR. These notes bear interest at the rate of six (6%) percent
per annum and must be repaid within the next five years. The carrying value of
these notes is $9,678,840 at December 31, 2004. Interest expense for the six
months ended December 31, 2004 was $4,107,402 compared to $147,728 for the six
months ended December 31, 2003. The non-cash element of this expense was
$3,624,028 for the six months ended December 31, 2004.

PREFERRED STOCK DIVIDENDS:

         There were no preferred stock dividends for the quarter and six months
ended December 31, 2004. All of Series C preferred stock has been converted. As
a result none is outstanding. preferred stock dividends for the quarter ended
December 31, 2003 were $161,101. Preferred stock dividends for the six months
ended December 31, 2003 were $316,790

NET LOSS APPLICABLE TO STOCKHOLDERS:

         Net loss applicable to common stockholders for the quarters ended
December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003 was $8,007,192 ($0.15 per share) and
$988,310 ($0.16 per share) respectively. Our weighted average number of shares
outstanding for the quarters ended December 31 2004 and December 31, 2003 were
52,408,699 and 6,156,120, respectively.

         Net loss applicable to common stockholders for the six months ended
December 31, 2004 and December 31,2003 was $9,253,213 ($0.20 per share) and
$2,055,935 ($0.38 per share) respectively. Our weighted average number of shares
outstanding for the six months ended December 31 2004 and December 31, 2003 were
45,380,646 and 5,463,757, respectively.

         The reduction in net loss per share from the prior period is due
primarily to the increase in number of shares outstanding. Shares outstanding
increased primarily as a result of our financing activities.

                         LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         During the six months ended December 31, 2004, we experienced $194,896
of positive cash flow from operating activities compared with a deficit of
$884,314 for the same period in 2003. The loss for the six months ended December
31, 2004 of $9,253,213 was offset by non-cash charges of $7,241,673 and a
reduction in working capital of $2,206,436.

         During fiscal 2004, we experienced $3,906,900 of negative cash flow
from operating activities. This negative cash flow was the result of a loss of
10,511,213 from continuing operations offset by non-cash charges of $6,377,936
and working capital requirements of $226,377. In addition, we experienced
$8,538,386 of negative cash flow from investing activities. These investment
activities consisted of cash used primarily for the acquisition of EOIR. Cash
flows from financing activities for the year ended June 30, 2004 approximated
$13,540,909.

         On June 29, 2004, we acquired all of the outstanding stock of EOIR for
$8,000,000 in cash and $11,000,000 in principal amount of five year notes
secured by the assets and stock of EOIR. These notes bear interest at the rate
of six (6%) percent per annum and must be repaid within the next five years. The
carrying value of these notes is $9,678,840 at December 31, 2004. We expect
significant increases in interest expense as a result of this financing and the
September 21, 2004 and November 9, 2004 private placements.

                                       51


         We financed our operations and acquisition activities primarily through
sales of common stock and preferred stock as well as through margins from sales
of our products and services. During fiscal 2004, we raised $8,226,845 from
sales of our common stock, and $5,401,970 from sales of our Series D preferred
stock.

         During fiscal 2003, we experienced $764,550 of negative cash flow from
operating activities. This negative cash flow was the result of a loss from
continuing operations of approximately $3,836,000 mitigated by non-cash charges
of approximately $2,160,000 and increases in accounts payable and other
liabilities of approximately $940,000. In addition, we experienced $191,900 of
negative cash flow from investing activities. These investment activities
consisted of payments made in connection with our acquisition of Ergo and
technology from ASI Technology Corporation. Cash flows from financing activities
for the year ended June 30, 2003 approximated $957,000. We financed our
operations and acquisition activities primarily through sales of common stock
and preferred stock as well as through margins from sales of our products and
services. During fiscal 2003, we raised $340,000 from sales of our common stock,
$170,000 from sales of our Series C preferred stock, and $430,000 from sales of
our Series D preferred stock.

         On September 21, 2004, we sold secured convertible promissory notes and
warrants for the aggregate consideration of $4,000,000 and in the aggregate
principal amount of $5,200,000. These notes accrue interest at the rate of eight
percent (8%) per annum and are due and payable within one year. The carrying
value of this note is $2,447,238 at December 31, 2004 and the discount to the
principal amount will be accreted to interest expense over the one year term of
the loan.

         On November 9, 2004, we sold secured convertible promissory notes and
warrants for the aggregate consideration of $1,350,000 and in the aggregate
principal amount of $1,755,000. These notes accrue interest at the rate of eight
percent (8%) per annum and are due and payable within one year. The carrying
value of this note is $305,959 at December 31, 2004 and the discount to the
principal amount will be accreted to interest expense over the one year term of
the loan.

         Between January 1, 2005 and February 10, 2005, additional warrants were
exercised to purchase 7,225,000 shares of the Company's common stock at $0.60
per share for proceeds of $4,335,000.

         We believe that required investment capital will be available to us,
but there can be no assurance that we will be able to raise funds on terms
acceptable to us, or at all. We have the ability to adjust the level of research
and development and selling and administrative expenses to some extent based on
the availability of resources. However, reductions in expenditures could delay
development and adversely affect our ability to generate future revenues.

         Any equity-based source of additional funds could be dilutive to
existing equity holders and the dilution could be material. The lack of
sufficient funds from operations or additional capital could force us to curtail
or scale back operations and would therefore have an adverse effect on our
business. Other than cash and cash equivalents, we have no unused sources of
liquidity at this time. We expect to incur additional operating losses as a
result of expenditures for research and development and marketing costs for our
security products and technologies. The timing and amounts of these expenditures
and the extent of our operating losses will depend on many factors, some of
which are beyond our control. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that our
current expectations regarding required financial resources will prove to be
accurate. We anticipate that the commercialization of our technologies may
require increased operating costs; however, we cannot currently estimate the
amounts of these costs.

GOING CONCERN

         For six months ended December 31, 2004, we incurred a net loss of
$9,253,213 and had a working capital deficiency of $1,860,317.

         For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004, we incurred a loss from
continuing operations of $10,511,213 and had a working capital deficiency of
$2,740,722.

                                       52


         For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003, we incurred a loss from
continuing operations of $3,835,594 and had a working capital deficiency of
$1,235,306.

         We have limited finances and require additional funding in order to
market and license our products. There is no assurance that we can reverse our
operating losses, or that we can raise additional capital to allow us to
continue our planned operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about our
ability to continue as a going concern.

         The report of our independent registered public accounting firm for the
fiscal year 2004 included elsewhere in this annual report includes an
explanatory paragraph as to the uncertainty that we will continue as a going
concern. While we have experienced operating losses in the past, due to our
acquisition of EOIR, the operating portion of our business is currently cash
flow positive. Our business plan is to continue to grow our customer base and
our revenues and to control and monitor operating expenses and capital
expenditures.

         We believe that our business as currently constituted will produce
positive cash flow which, together with our current cash levels, will enable us
to meet our existing financial obligations as they come due during the current
fiscal year. However, we can provide no assurance that the performance of our
business will meet our expectations.

                         OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

         We have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are
reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition,
changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations,
liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to
stockholders.

                    EFFECT OF INFLATION AND CHANGES IN PRICES

         Management does not believe that inflation and changes in price will
have a material effect on operations.

                          CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         The preparation of Markland's financial statements and related
disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and the disclosure
of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements
and the amounts of revenues and expenses recorded during the reporting periods.
We base our estimates on historical experience, where applicable, and other
assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual
results may differ from our estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
The sections below present information about the nature of and rationale for our
critical accounting policies.

         PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

         Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Markland
and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Security Technology, Inc., Ergo Systems,
Inc., Science and Technology Research Corporation, Inc and E-OIR Technologies,
Inc. We have eliminated all significant inter-company balances and transactions.

         CONCENTRATIONS

         Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 105,
"Disclosure of Information about Financial Instruments With Off-Balance-Sheet
Risk and Financial Instruments with Concentrations of Credit Risk," requires
that we disclose any significant off-balance-sheet and credit risk
concentrations. We are subject to concentrations of credit risk because the
majority of our revenues and accounts receivable are derived from the US Navy,
Computer Science Corporation and The Department of Homeland Security, none of
whom is required to provide collateral for amounts owed to us. We do not believe
that we are subject to any unusual credit risks, other than the normal level of
risk attendant to operating our business.

                                       53


         As of December 31, 2004, we had cash balances in banks in excess of the
maximum amount insured by the FDIC. In addition, we derive substantially all of
our contract revenue from contracts with Federal government agencies.
Consequently, substantially all of our accounts receivable are due from Federal
government agencies either directly or through other government contractors.

         IMPAIRMENT OF GOODWILL AND AMORTIZABLE INTANGIBLES

         In accordance with SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets," we review goodwill for impairment annually, or more frequently if an
event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the
fair value of our business enterprise below its carrying value. The impairment
test requires us to estimate the fair value of our overall business enterprise
down to the reporting unit level. We estimate fair value using both a discounted
cash flows model, as well as an approach using market comparables, both of which
are weighted equally to determine fair value. Under the discounted cash flows
method, we utilize estimated long-term revenue and cash flows forecasts
developed as part of our planning process, as well as assumptions of terminal
value, together with an applicable discount rate, to determine fair value. Under
the market approach, fair value is determined by comparing us to similar
businesses (or guideline companies). Selection of guideline companies and market
ratios require management's judgment. The use of different assumptions within
our discounted cash flows model or within our market approach model when
determining fair value could result in different valuations for goodwill.

         ESTIMATED USEFUL LIVES OF AMORTIZABLE INTANGIBLE ASSETS

         We amortize our amortizable intangible assets over the shorter of the
contractual/legal life or the estimated economic life. We are amortizing the
intangible assets acquired as of a result of the Ergo and ASI acquisitions over
a three-year life commencing with the date of acquisition. With respect to the
Science & Technology Research, Inc. and EOIR Technologies, Inc. acquisitions,
consistent with independent business valuations, we are amortizing the
intangible assets over ten years and nine years respectively.

         IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

         Pursuant to SFAS No. 144, we continually monitor events and changes in
circumstances that could indicate carrying amounts of long-lived assets may not
be recoverable. We recognize an impairment loss when the carrying value of an
asset exceeds expected cash flows. Accordingly, when indicators or impairment of
assets are present, we evaluate the carrying value of such assets in relation to
the operating performance and future undiscounted cash flows of the underlying
business. Our policy is to record an impairment loss when we determine that the
carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. No impairment charges were
recorded in the years ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 or for the six months ended
December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003.

         STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

         At December 31, 2004, as permitted under SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure", which amended SFAS No.
123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", Markland has elected to continue
to follow the intrinsic value method in accounting for its stock-based employee
compensation arrangements as defined by Accounting Principles Board Opinion
("APB") No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees", and related
interpretation including Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")
Interpretation No. 44, "Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock
Compensation", an interpretation of APB No. 25. The effect that following the
fair value method in accounting for stock-based employee compensation would have
had is set forth in footnote 2 to the Financial Statements of the Company.

         REVENUE RECOGNITION

         We recognize product revenue when the following criteria are met: (1)
we have persuasive evidence of an arrangement, such as agreements, purchase
orders or written requests; (2) we have completed delivery and no significant
obligations remain, (3) our price to our customer is fixed or determinable, and
(4) collection is probable. We recognize revenues at the time we perform
services related to border security logistic support. With respect to our
revenues from our chemical detectors, we recognize revenue under the

                                       54


units-of-delivery method. At the time the units are shipped to the warehouse of
the United States Navy, the Company recognizes as revenues the contract price of
each unit and recognizes the applicable cost of each unit shipped. As of June
30, 2004, we had completed delivery pursuant to all outstanding orders under
this contract.

         We recognize revenue from time and materials contracts as we incur
costs.

         We recognize revenue from firm fixed price contracts using the
percentage-of-completion method, either measured based on the proportion of
costs recorded to date on the contract to total estimated contract costs or
measured based on the proportion of labor hours expended to date on the contract
to total estimated contract labor hours, as specified in the contract.

         We make provisions for estimated losses on all contracts in the period
in which such losses become known. Changes in job performance, job conditions,
and estimated profitability, including those arising from contract penalty
provisions, and final contract settlements may result in revision to cost and
income and are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined.

         We participate in teaming agreements where we are the primary
contractor other organizations participate to provide services to the Federal
government. We have managerial and oversight responsibility for team members as
well as the responsibility for the ultimate acceptability of performance under
the contract. We includes as revenues the amounts that they bill under the
teaming arrangements and include as direct costs amounts that are reimbursable
or paid to team members.

         IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

         In December 2003, the FASB issues FASB Interpretation No. 46R ("FIN
46R"), "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities". FIN 46R expands upon
existing accounting guidance that addresses when a company should include in its
financial statements the assets, liabilities and activities of another entity. A
variable interest entity is a corporation, partnership, trust or any other legal
structure used for business purposes that either (a) does not have equity
investors with voting rights or (b) has equity investors that do not provide
sufficient financial resources for the entity to support its activities. FIN 46R
requires a variable interest entity to be consolidated by a company if that
company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss from the variable interest
entity's activities or is entitled to receive a majority of the entity's
residual returns or both. The adoption of this interpretation did not have any
impact on our financial position or results of operations.

         In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, "Accounting for Certain
Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity"
("SFAS No. 150"). This statement establishes standards for how an issuer
classifies and measures particular financial instruments with characteristics of
both liabilities and equity. It requires that an issuer classify a financial
instrument that is within its scope as a liability. Many of those instruments
were previously classified as equity. SFAS No. 150 is effective for financial
instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is
effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15,
2003. The adoption of this statement did not have any impact on our financial
position or results of operations.

         In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS No. 123R"). SFAS No. 123R establishes standards
for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity
instruments for goods or services. This Statement focuses primarily on
accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in
share-based payment transactions. SFAS No. 123R requires that the fair value of
such equity instruments be recognized as an expense in the historical financial
statements as services are performed. Prior to SFAS No. 123R, only some pro
forma disclosures of fair value were required. The provisions of this Statement
are effective for small business issuers the first interim reporting period that
begins after December 15, 2005. Accordingly, Markland will adopt SFAS No. 123R
commencing with the quarter ending March 31, 2006. If Markland had included the
fair value of employee stock options in these financial statements, the net loss
for the three and six months ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 would have been as
disclosed above. Accordingly, the adoption of SFAS No. 123R is not expected to
have a material effect on our financial statements.

                             CHANGES IN ACCOUNTANTS

         On July 7, 2004, our Board of Directors determined not to retain Marcum
& Kliegman LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm, as reported
in our current report on Form 8-K filed on July 13, 2004 (File # 000-28863), as
amended from time to time. The audit report of Marcum & Kliegman LLP on our
consolidated financial statements for fiscal year ended June 30, 2003 did not
contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or
modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. However, the
report included an explanatory paragraph wherein Marcum & Kliegman LLP expressed
substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

         In connection with the audits of the year ended June 30, 2003 and
during the subsequent interim period through July 7, 2004, we did not have any
disagreement with Marcum & Kliegman LLP on any matter of accounting principles
or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure,
which if not resolved to the satisfaction of Marcum & Kliegman LLP, would have
caused them to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in
connection with their reports on our consolidated financial statements.

         On July 7, 2004, we engaged Wolf & Company, P.C., an independent
registered public accounting firm. During the years ended June 30, 2004 and 2003
and the subsequent interim period through July 7, 2004, we did not consult with
Wolf & Company, P.C. regarding either the application of accounting principles
to a specified transaction, the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on
our consolidated financial statements, or any matter that was the subject of a
disagreement or reportable event with Marcum & Kliegman LLP.

                                    BUSINESS

WHO WE ARE

         We are the successor to a variety of businesses dating back to 1995.
Our business, as it exists today, consists of five business areas:

         o        sensor systems for military and intelligence applications;
         o        chemical detectors;
         o        imaging and surveillance;
         o        border security systems; and
         o        advanced technologies.

         We provide to the DOD and to various other INTEL remote sensing
technology products, and services to protect our country's military personnel
and infrastructure assets. We also provide to the Homeland Security; products,
services and emerging technologies to protect our country's borders,
infrastructure assets and personnel. Our mission is to build world-class
integrated solutions for the Homeland Security, DOD and INTEL marketplaces via
expansion of our existing contracts, development of our emerging technologies
and acquisition of synergistic revenue producing assets.

         Prior to the acquisition of EOIR, our primary sources of operating
revenue were sales of our automatic chemical agent detection and alarm system,
border security logistics products and services, and Small Business Investment
Research funded research grants for the development of gas plasma antenna
technology.

         As result of the acquisition of EOIR, now a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Markland, our primary sources of operating revenues will be the sales of remote
sensing technology products and services to the United States DOD and to various
other INTEL. We expect that our remote sensing technology products and services
will continue to be our most significant revenue-producing business areas going
forward.

         Our strategy is to grow through organic means via increased acceptance
by our customers of our present products and services offerings and also via
synergistic acquisitions of assets that provide products or services to Homeland
Security, DOD, or INTEL.

                                       56


BUSINESS HISTORY

         Markland Technologies, Inc. is the successor to A. P. Sales Inc., a
corporation incorporated in Colorado in 1995. In December 1998, A. P. Sales was
dissolved as a Colorado corporation and re-domiciled in Florida under the name
Quest Net Corporation ("Quest Net"). In March 2000, Quest Net acquired CWTel,
Inc., a Florida corporation ("CWTel"). CWTel filed a voluntary bankruptcy
petition in November 2001 and was issued a final decree in March 2002. In March
2001, Quest Net acquired all of the outstanding stock of Vidikron of America,
Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Vidikron"). As a result, Vidikron's sole
stockholder, Market LLC, a Cayman Islands limited liability company, became
Quest Net's majority stockholder and Vidikron became a wholly-owned subsidiary
of Quest Net. Quest Net subsequently changed its name to Markland Technologies,
Inc. In order to cure a default in our obligations to Market LLC, we transferred
all of our interest in Vidikron to Market LLC in June 2002. As a result, at the
end of fiscal 2002, we had no active business operations.

         In December of 2002, we entered into a transaction with Eurotech, Ltd.,
ipPartners, Inc., Market LLC, and James LLC. Pursuant to this transaction the
following took place:

         o    We formed a subsidiary corporation called Security Technology,
              Inc.

         o    Eurotech transferred particular rights to its acoustic core
              technology relating to illicit material detection to our
              subsidiary.

         o    Crypto.com Inc. (a subsidiary of Eurotech) and ipPartners
              transferred particular rights to their cryptology technologies to
              our subsidiary.

         o    90% of the shares of our common stock held by Market LLC and James
              LLC were retired.

         o    We issued 80% of our then issued and outstanding common stock to
              Eurotech and shares of common stock representing 10% of our then
              issued and outstanding shares of common stock to ipPartners.

         o    We issued $5,225,000 in stated value of our Series C 5% cumulative
              convertible preferred stock to Market LLC and James LLC in
              satisfaction of $5,225,000 of convertible notes held by Market LLC
              and James LLC and in exchange for their agreement to surrender
              4,498,638 shares of our common stock.

         In January 2003, we acquired all the common stock of Ergo Systems,
Inc., a company in the business of providing border security logistic support
and product development services to the U.S. government. Ergo Systems Inc. has a
contract with the Department of Homeland Security to maintain, integrate and
implement design enhancements to border security systems. In consideration for
this acquisition we agreed to pay $400,000 in cash, payable at milestones which
are related to research efforts.

         In March 2003, we entered into an agreement to acquire the intellectual
property (including patents), equipment, and government contracts for some
particular gas plasma antenna technology from ASI Technology Corporation. We
closed this transaction in September 2003. We paid a purchase price of $150,000
in cash and 283,333 shares of our common stock valued at $850,000.

         In October of 2003, we acquired all of the common stock of Science and
Technology Research Corporation, Inc. This company is the producer of the U.S.
Navy's Shipboard Automatic Chemical Agent Detection and Alarm System. In
consideration for this acquisition, we issued 1,539,779 shares of common stock
valued at $5,100,000, paid $900,000 in cash and issued a promissory note for
$375,000. We also entered into a consulting agreement with the former principal
shareholder and employee.

                                       57


         On June 29, 2004, we acquired all of the outstanding stock of EOIR for
$8,000,000 in cash and $11,000,000 in principal amount of five-year notes
secured by the assets and stock of EOIR. EOIR is a provider of technology and
services to the United States Army Night Vision and Electronic Sensors
Directorate, as well as other United States Department of Defense and
Intelligence Agencies. It has significant expertise in wide-area remote sensing
using both electro-optic and infrared technologies. Markland intends to continue
to use the assets of EOIR for this purpose and to also broaden its product base
and offerings to the Department of Homeland Security. Markland will combine
particular EOIR technology assets in the areas of chemical detection with those
of its other operating subsidiary Science and Technology Research Inc. to
provide a more complete integrated product line offering for both "stand off"
and "point" chemical detection systems. EOIR will represents a vast majority of
Markland's revenues as we expect that EOIR will continue to be our most
significant revenue producing business area in the next fiscal year.

                   RECENT ACQUISITION AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

         On February 14, 2005, we acquired a controlling interest in Technest, a
public company with no operations. In connection with this transaction, and, at
the same time, Technest acquired all of the capital stock of Genex, a private
company with expertise in imaging and surveillance whose primary customer is the
U.S. Department of Defense. Technest financed the acquisition of Genex through
the private placement of securities to sophisticated investors. We structured
the acquisition of Genex in this manner to comply with covenants in our
financing agreements and facilitate the financing of the acquisition.

TECHNEST

         Technest is a company with a class of equity securities registered
under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act. In 2002 and 2003, Technest disposed of
all of its operating businesses. Since then, Technest has no business operations
and only minimal assets. Technest's common stock is quoted on the
Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board market. We do not intend to take Technest
private.

ACQUISITION OF CONTROLLING INTEREST IN TECHNEST HOLDINGS, INC. AND RELATED
AGREEMENTS

         Our recent acquisition of Technest was effected pursuant to the terms
of a Securities Purchase Agreement between us and Technest, dated February 14,
2005. In connection with this transaction we also entered into an agreement with
Technest pursuant to which Technest agreed to register our resale of the common
stock issued to us, and Technest entered into agreements with of its major
shareholders pursuant to which they have agreed not to sell shares of Technest
common stock owned by them prior to the transaction until the earlier of August
15, 2005 or such time as there is an effective registration statement providing
for the resale of those shares.

         SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT BETWEEN MARKLAND AND TECHNEST. In
accordance with the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement between us and
Technest, on February 14, 2005, we acquired 412,650,577 shares of Technest's
common stock in exchange for 10,168,764 shares of our common stock and our
agreement to issue shares of our common stock upon conversion of Technest's
Series B preferred stock. The Technest Series B preferred stock will be
convertible into our common stock upon the earlier to occur of (a) February 14,
2006 or (b) a date which is the first trading day after the date on which our
common stock has a closing bid price of $2.50 or more for five consecutive
trading days. The number of shares to be issued will be determined by dividing
the quotient of (a) $5,000,000 divided by the lower of (i) $0.60 and (ii) the
market price (as defined in the Merger Agreement) by (b) 1,149,425. A copy of
this agreement has been filed as Exhibit 4.1 to our current report on Form 8-K
filed on February 15, 2005.

         As a result of this transaction we own approximately 93% of Technest's
common stock on a primary basis and 39% of Technest's stock on a fully diluted
basis (assuming the conversion of all of Technest's convertible securities and
the exercise of all warrants to purchase Technest's common stock).

                                       58


         REGISTRATION OBLIGATION IN CONNECTION WITH THE ACQUISITION OF TECHNEST.
We also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with Technest, dated
February 14, 2005. A copy of this agreement has been filed as Exhibit 4.2 to our
current report on Form 8-K filed on February 15, 2005.

         Technest has agreed to use its best efforts to file a registration
statement on Form SB-2 as soon as possible after it receives a request for
registration from us (or the holder of a majority of the registrable securities
if we transfer some or all of our Technest shares) and to cause the registration
statement to be declared effective. Pursuant to this agreement, Technest also
agreed to keep the registration statement effective until the earlier of (a)
thirty-six (36) months following the date of the agreement or (b) such time as
all transfer restrictions on our shares have been eliminated. Technest may
suspend the effectiveness of the registration statement for a period of no more
than fifteen (15) consecutive trading days, or an aggregate of thirty (30)
trading days, each year. In addition, we have piggyback registration rights if,
within two (2) years following the date of the agreement, Technest chooses to
register any of its securities under the Securities Act on an underwritten
basis.

         LOCK-UP AGREEMENT. Prior to February 14, 2005, Technest was controlled
by Garth LLC and Southshore Capital Management Fund Ltd. who, together, owned
approximately 73% of the outstanding shares of Technest common stock. These two
entities have executed and delivered lock-up agreements. A copy of the form of
lock-up agreement has been filed as Exhibit 10.2 to our current report on Form
8-K filed on February 15, 2005.

         Under the terms of these agreements, such shareholders have agreed not
to sell or dispose of their Technest common stock until the earlier of six (6)
months following February 14, 2005, or the date that the registration statement
for the sale of such shares effective. In return, during the lock-up period,
Technest agreed to maintain its reporting status with the Securities and
Exchange Commission, to file all reports that are required to be filed, and to
use its best efforts to ensure that the common stock is quoted for public
trading. These stockholders were also granted piggyback registration rights to
include their shares on the next registration statement Technest files.

         MATERIAL RELATIONSHIPS. Our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer,
Robert Tarini, is also one of the investors in Technest's February 14, 2005
private placement and will be the beneficial owner of Technest Series C
preferred stock, convertible into 30,341,954 shares of Technest common stock,
and warrants exercisable for 30,341,954 shares of common stock. As of February
14, 2005, Mr. Tarini, when combined with our ownership in Technest, would
beneficially own an aggregate of approximately 94% of the outstanding Technest
common stock. Our investment in Technest was negotiated by our senior
management, including Mr. Tarini and was approved by a unanimous vote of the
Board of Directors of Markland including, Dr. Mackin and Mr. Ducey, neither of
whom has an interest in the transaction.

         INTERLOCKING MANAGEMENT. Robert Tarini, our Chief Executive Officer and
Chairman of the Board, was appointed the Chief Executive Officer and a Director
of Technest. Technest's only other director is Mark Allen. In addition, Gino M.
Pereira, our Chief Financial Officer, was appointed Chief Financial Officer of
Technest and Joseph P. Mackin, our Chief Operating Officer and a Director of
Markland, was appointed President of Technest.

TECHNEST FINANCING

         Technest financed the acquisition of Genex pursuant to a Securities
Purchase Agreement, dated February 14, 2005. In connection with this agreement,
Technest and Markland entered into agreements providing for the registration of
shares of common stock to be issued by Markland or Technest upon conversion of
Series B and Series C preferred stock and the exercise of warrants. In
connection with the Genex Transactions, the Board of Directors of Technest and
the holders of a majority of the common stock of Technest approved a 1 for
211.18 reverse split of Technest's outstanding common stock. The reverse split
will become effective not less than 20 days after a definitive Schedule 14C
Information Statement relating to the reverse split is mailed to the
stockholders of Technest.

                                       59


         PRIVATE PLACEMENT OF SECURITIES. Technest financed the acquisition of
Genex with the sale of 1,149,425 shares of Technest Series B preferred stock
(which is convertible into our common stock), five-year warrants to purchase up
to 242,735,571 shares of Technest common stock for an exercise price of $.0307
per share, and 1,149,425 shares of Technest Series C preferred stock convertible
into 242,735,571 shares of Technest's common stock. Technest received gross
proceeds of $5,000,000 in this offering. The purchasers in this offering
included (i) Southridge Partners LP, DKR Soundshore Oasis Holding Fund, Ltd.,
DKR Soundshore Strategic Holding Fund, Ltd. (who are also selling stockholder
named in this prospectus), (ii) ipPartners, Inc., a company controlled by Robert
Tarini, our CEO and (iii) other investors. The issuance of these securities was
not registered under the Securities Act, but was made in reliance upon the
exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act set forth in
Section 4(2) thereof.

         The proceeds of this financing were used to fund the acquisition of
Genex Technologies, Inc. (discussed below), pay transactions costs and fund
working capital. Although we are not a party to the Securities Purchase
Agreement, we have agreed to issue shares of our common stock upon conversion of
Technest Series B preferred stock sold under the Securities Purchase Agreement
and to register the resale of such common stock by the Investors. A copy of this
agreement has been filed as Exhibit 2.1 to our current report on Form 8-K filed
February 15, 2005.

         The Technest Series B preferred stock will be convertible into our
common stock upon the earlier to occur of (a) February 14, 2006 or (b) a date
which is the first trading day after the date on which our common stock has a
closing bid price of $2.50 or more for five consecutive trading days. The number
of shares to be issued will be determined by dividing the quotient of (a)
$5,000,000 divided by the lower of (i) $0.60 and (ii) the market price (as
defined in the Merger Agreement) by (b) 1,149,425. Market Price means the
average closing bid for the 20 previous trading days. Upon conversion, the
aggregate number of our common shares held by the holders of Series B preferred
stock and its affiliates may not exceed 4.999% of the outstanding shares of our
common stock. The holder may demand a waiver of this limitation but such waiver
will not be effective for 65 days after the request, is limited to the holder
itself and only allows the holder to hold up to 9.999% of the outstanding our
common stock. Shares of the Series B preferred stock have a liquidation
preference of $2.175 per share, may only vote on changes to the rights,
privileges and priority of the Series B preferred stock, do not accrue
dividends, are not redeemable and are convertible into our common stock.

         The Technest Series C preferred stock is convertible at the option of
the stockholder at any time. The number of shares of Technest common stock into
which each share of Series C preferred stock is convertible is determined by
dividing $2.175 by the Series C Conversion Price. The Series C Conversion Price
is $.0102993 (before the Reverse Split). After the Reverse Split the Series C
Conversion Price will be $2.175. Upon conversion, the aggregate number of shares
of Technest common stock held by the holder of Series C preferred stock and its
affiliates may not exceed 4.999% of the outstanding Technest common stock. The
holder may demand a waiver of this limitation but such waiver will not be
effective for 65 days after the request, is limited to the holder itself and
only allows the holder to hold up to 9.999% of the outstanding Technest common
stock. Shares of the Series C preferred stock have a liquidation preference of
approximately $2.175 per share, may only vote on changes to the rights,
privileges and priority of the Series C preferred stock, receive dividends on an
as converted basis whenever dividends are made to the Technest common stock
holders, are not redeemable by Technest and are convertible into Technest common
stock.

         Technest has agreed to issue additional shares of its common stock to
the Investors if the units do not have a market value of $6.525 at the end of
one year. For each unit an Investor continues to hold on February 14, 2006,
Technest will issue to the Investors a number of shares of common stock
calculated in accordance with the following formula:

  ((Units Held on Reset Date) x [(Adjustment Price) - Combined Market Price)])
                               / THNS Market Price
  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

         "ADJUSTMENT PRICE" shall mean $6.525 (subject to appropriate adjustment
         in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or other
         similar recapitalization affecting such shares)

                                       60


         "COMBINED MARKET PRICE" shall mean the THNS Market Price added to the
         MRKL Market Price.

         "MRKL MARKET PRICE" shall mean the average of the closing bid prices of
         the Markland common stock during the period beginning ten (10) trading
         days prior to the reset date and ending ten (10) trading days after the
         reset date as reported by the OTC Bulletin Board or any similar
         organization or agency of national recognition succeeding to its
         functions of reporting prices for the Markland common stock.

         "THNS MARKET PRICE" shall mean the average of the closing bid prices of
         the common stock during the period beginning ten (10) Trading Days
         prior to the Reset Date and ending ten (10) Trading Days after the
         Reset Date as reported by the OTC Bulletin Board or any similar
         organization or agency of national recognition succeeding to its
         functions of reporting prices for the common stock.

         OUR REGISTRATION OBLIGATIONS. We entered into a Registration Rights
Agreement, dated February 14, 2005, with the Investors, pursuant to which we
agreed to register 17,000,000 shares of Markland common stock issuable to the
holders of the Series B preferred stock of Technest, and common stock issuable
as liquidated damages for breach of some covenants contained in the agreement.

         Under the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, we have agreed to
file a registration statement on Form SB-2 on or before seventy-five (75) days
following the closing date of the transaction; and use our best efforts to cause
the registration statement to be declared effective as promptly as possible
thereafter but not later than one hundred thirty-five days following the closing
date; and keep the registration statement effective until twenty-four (24)
months following the date on the effective day of such registration statement.
The offering will terminate once the registered shares have been sold or may be
sold pursuant to Rule 144(k) of the Securities Act without volume restrictions.

         Failure to comply with the terms of this agreement will trigger
liquidated damages equal to two percent (2%) of the purchase price paid by each
holder in connection with the Investors' Investments for each month (and pro
rata for any portion of a month prior to the cure of such breach) that we fail
to meet the relevant filing date, the relevant effective date, or for such
failure to keep the registration statement effective. we may also pay such
liquidated damages by issuing shares of common stock valued at ninety (90%)
percent of the average of the trailing five (5) trading days' closing prices
before the payment that are the subject of a then-effective registration
statement.

         If, during the effectiveness period, the number of shares of common
stock issuable in lieu of the payment of partial liquidated damages exceeds the
number of such shares then-registered in a registration statement, we will be
required to file a new registration statement, as soon as reasonably practicable
but no later than forty-five (45) days following the date on which we knows or
reasonably should have known that such registration statement is required.

         TECHNEST REGISTRATION OBLIGATIONS. Technest and the investors in the
private placement entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, dated February
14, 2005. Pursuant to this agreement, Technest agreed to file a registration
statement covering the resale of all of the common stock issuable upon
conversion of the Series C preferred stock, (b) all of the common stock issuable
upon exercise of the common stock purchase warrants, and (c) common stock, if
any, issuable to selling stockholders as liquidated damages for breach of
covenants contained in or as a result of adjustments contemplated by the
securities purchase agreement and the registration rights agreement. Technest
agreed to use its best efforts to cause the registration statement to be
declared effective as promptly as possible thereafter, and to keep the
registration statement effective until twenty-four (24) months following the
date on which the shelf registration becomes effective, unless the shares of
common stock covered by the registration statement have been sold or may be sold
pursuant to Rule 144(k) of the Securities Act without volume restrictions.
Technest will be required to amend this registration statement or file an
additional registration statement as soon as reasonably practicable if the
number of shares of common stock issuable in lieu of the payment of partial
liquidated damages exceeds the number of such shares then registered in a
registration statement.

                                       61


         Failure to comply with the terms of this agreement will trigger
liquidated damages equal to two percent (2%) of the purchase price paid by each
holder in connection with the Investors' Investments for each month (and pro
rata for any portion of a month prior to the cure of such breach) that Technest
fails to meet the relevant filing date, the relevant effective date, or for such
failure to keep the registration statement effective. Technest may also pay such
liquidated damages by issuing shares of common stock valued at ninety (90%)
percent of the average of the trailing five (5) trading days' closing prices
before the payment that are the subject of a then-effective registration
statement.

         MATERIAL RELATIONSHIPS. With the exception of Deer Creek Fund LP,
ipPartners Inc., and Southshore Capital Fund Limited, all of the Investors (i)
have been named selling stockholders in this registration statement on Form SB-2
declared effective by the SEC on December 2, 2004 and (i) are either our
shareholders, officers and/or Directors. ipPartners, Inc. is a corporation
majority owned and controlled by Mr. Tarini, our Chief Executive Officer and
Chairman. The Technest private placement was negotiated on our behalf by senior
management, including Mr. Tarini. Our investment was approved by a unanimous
vote of our Board of Directors including, Dr. Mackin and Mr. Ducey, neither of
whom has an interest in the transaction.

         BROKERS. Greenfield Capital Partners LLC is a registered broker-dealer
retained by Technest in connection with the Genex transaction. For its services,
Greenfield Capital Partners LLC received a fee of approximately $650,000.

         Technest issued to us 412,650,577 shares of its common stock, $.001 par
value per share (before the Reverse Split) in exchange for 10,168,764 shares of
our common stock and our agreement to issue additional shares of our common
stock upon conversion of Technest's Series B preferred stock (which, together
with the Technest Series C preferred stock and warrants, was sold to a group of
investors in Technest's February 14, 2005 private placement described under the
heading "Investor Financing" below).

         After giving effect to the consummation of this transaction, we
beneficially own approximately 93% of the outstanding shares of Technest's
outstanding common stock, on a primary basis, and 39% of Technest's outstanding
common stock, on a fully diluted basis. Our CEO and Chairman, Robert Tarini was
an investor in Technest's February 14, 2005 private placement and has been
elected as director and CEO of Technest. Under SEC rules, Mr. Tarini may be
deemed to be the indirect beneficial owner of all of the shares of Technest's
common stock beneficially owned by us. Mr. Tarini disclaims beneficial ownership
of these shares.

         Technest used the shares of our common stock received from us pursuant
to the Securities Purchase Agreement to fund a portion of the merger
consideration paid to Jason Geng, the sole shareholder of Genex. We intend to
hold Technest's common stock as an asset and we do not intend to take Technest
private.

THE ACQUISITION OF GENEX TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

         The acquisition of Genex Technologies, Inc. was effected pursuant to an
Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated February 14, 2005, by and among Markland,
Technest, Mtech Acquisition, Inc. ("MTECH"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Technest, Genex and Jason Geng, the sole stockholder of Genex. In connection
with this merger, Markland and Technest entered into agreements providing for
the registration of shares to be issued to Jason Geng, a lock-up agreement with
Jason Geng and employment agreement with Jason Geng.

         MERGER AGREEMENT. In accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement,
on February 14, 2005, MTECH, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Technest, merged with
and into Genex, with Genex surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Technest. As a result of the merger, all of the outstanding shares of the
capital stock of Genex were automatically converted into the right to receive in
the aggregate (i) $3 million; (ii) 10,168,764 shares of our common stock; and
(iii) if earned, contingent payments in the form of additional shares of
Technest common stock. In addition, the Merger Agreement provides for Mr. Geng
to receive a six month unsecured promissory note in the principal amount of
$550,000 that pays interest at the rate of 6% per annum. Jason Geng's share
consideration will be adjusted to reflect changes in the closing bid price of
our common stock in the 10 trading days following February 14, 2005, subject to
limitations set forth in the Merger Agreement.

                                       62


         If, following completion of the Genex Transactions, Genex meets
specified revenue goals at the end of each of the first three years following
February 14, 2005, Technest will pay to Mr. Geng contingent consideration of
additional shares of Technest common stock equal to the fair market value of 30%
of the difference in Genex's gross revenue during year proceeding the payment
and its gross revenue in 2004. Any shares of Technest common stock issued
pursuant to this provision of the Merger Agreement will be issued in reliance
upon the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act by
Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.

         The Merger Agreement also provides that, in the event that the
intraoral technologies (technologies enabling three dimensional imaging for
medical purposes) owned by Genex prior to February 14, 2005 are commercialized,
Jason Geng will be entitled to fifty percent (50%) of all profits generated from
these technologies for a period of five years following February 14, 2005.

         Markland, Technest and MTECH, on one hand, and Jason Geng, on the other
hand have agreed to indemnify each other for breaches of representations,
warranties and failures to perform covenants. Indemnity is available pursuant to
the indemnity escrow agreement for any claim by us or Technest above $100,000.
Jason Geng's liability is limited to the amount in the indemnity escrow fund,
set at closing as $2 million of Markland common stock taken from the
consideration paid to Jason Geng on closing. Jason Geng has agreed to indemnify
the Technest entities for all losses associated with disputes relating to the
title of Genex shares, taxes, ERISA, environmental and intellectual property
claims for amounts up to the full consideration for the merger. Jason Geng also
agreed to pay Genex for any amount a governmental entity refuses to pay in
relation to a regulatory audit currently being conducted.

         GENEX BUSINESS. Genex, a private company incorporated under the laws of
the State of Maryland, was founded in 1995. Genex offers imaging products and
complete solutions for three-dimensional (3D) imaging and display, intelligent
surveillance, and 3D facial recognition. It has both a research and development
team as well as two product teams, one with focus on government products and one
with focus on commercial products. Genex currently has 32 employees.

         OUR REGISTRATION OBLIGATIONS. We entered into a Registration Rights
Agreement, dated February 14, 2005, with Jason Geng. We have agreed to file a
registration statement for the shares of our common stock paid to Jason Geng on
or before June 1, 2005, plus one day for each day when a registration statement
is not effective and available for the resale of common stock issued to the
investors in the Securities Purchase Agreement, dated September 21, 2004. We
have agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the registration
statement to be declared effective by August 1, 2005. Pursuant to the agreement,
we must also use commercially reasonable efforts to keep the registration
statement effective until the date on which Mr. Geng no longer owns any of the
registrable securities, unless the shares of common stock have been sold or may
be sold pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act without volume restrictions.

         REGISTRATION OBLIGATIONS OF TECHNEST. Technest entered into a
Registration Rights Agreement with Jason Geng, on February 14, 2005. Pursuant to
this agreement, Technest agreed to file with the SEC a registration statement
covering the resale of all of the Technest common stock Technest is ultimately
required to issue to Jason Geng as additional consideration for the sale of his
Genex common stock if Genex recognizes gross revenues in excess of a particular
dollar amount in each of the three years following Technest's acquisition of
Genex, within forty-five (45) days following each of the three yearly
determinations of whether earnout payments are due. Technest agreed to use
commercially reasonable efforts to cause each registration statement to be
declared effective within one hundred five (105) days following each such
earnout payment determination. Pursuant to the agreement Technest must also use
commercially reasonable efforts to keep each registration statement effective
until the date on which Jason Geng no longer holds any of the registrable
securities, unless the shares of Technest common stock covered by the
registration statement have been sold or may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 of the
Securities Act without volume restrictions.

                                       63


         LOCK-UP AGREEMENTS. We entered into a lock-up agreement with Jason Geng
and Technest pursuant to which Jason Geng has agreed (a) not to sell or dispose
of any of our common stock issued to Jason Geng under the Merger Agreement
through July 31, 2005 without the our prior written consent, provided that Jason
Geng may sell or transfer such shares to us, Technest or his immediate family
members as a bona fide gift, (b) beginning on August 1, 2005, not to sell more
than ten percent (10%) in the aggregate, of our common stock in any given thirty
(30) day period, and (c) not to sell more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the
aggregate Technest common stock that may be issued to him, in any given thirty
(30) day period.

         JASON GENG EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT. In connection with this acquisition,
Genex entered in to an employment agreement with Jason Geng. Under the terms of
the agreement, Jason Geng will be employed by Genex for a period of three years
as the Executive Vice President and Chief Scientist of Genex. Jason Geng will
receive a salary of $300,000 per year and will be eligible to participate in any
bonus or incentive compensation plans that may be established by the Board of
Directors of Genex, Markland or Technest. The employment agreement provides that
Jason Geng's salary payments and health insurance benefits will continue until
the earlier of (a) the date that Jason Geng has obtained other full-time
engagement or (b) twelve (12) months from the date of termination of the
engagement, in the event that Genex terminates his engagement without cause (as
defined in the agreement) prior to the termination of the agreement or in the
event that Jason Geng terminates his engagement for good reason (as defined in
the Agreement). The agreement also provides for a continuation, for the lesser
of six months or through the end of the term of the agreement, of Jason Geng's
salary in the event that he becomes permanently disabled during the term of the
agreement.

         BROKER AGREEMENT. Genex Technologies, Inc. entered into an agreement
with Ocean Tomo, LLC, on October 17, 2003. The agreement was extended for one
year in a subsequent letter from Jason Geng to Ocean Tomo. Under this agreement,
Genex has agreed to pay Ocean Tomo as a finder, and in connection to the
acquisition by the Company of Genex.

DILUTION TO OUR STOCKHOLDERS.

         Our stockholders experienced significant dilution as a result of these
transactions. Markland shares issued on February 14, 2005 represent
approximately 11% of our outstanding stock on the date of issuance. In addition,
we are obligated to issue shares of our common stock upon conversion of the
Technest Series B preferred stock. The number of shares to be issued will be
determined by dividing the quotient of (a) $5,000,000 divided by the lower of
(i) $0.60 and (ii) the market price (as defined in the Merger Agreement) by (b)
1,149,425. Market price means the average closing bid for the 20 previous
trading days.

                                  OUR BUSINESS

         Our business, as it exists today, consists of four business areas:
sensor systems for military and intelligence applications; chemical detectors;
border security systems; and advanced technologies.

REMOTE SENSOR SYSTEMS FOR MILITARY AND INTELLIGENCE APPLICATIONS

         Our acquisition of EOIR, a company which provides remote sensing
technology products and services to the United States Department of Defense and
to various other United States Intelligence Agencies, is an important part of
our ongoing business strategy of creating a world-class integrated portfolio of
solutions for the Homeland Security, DOD and INTEL marketplaces.

         EOIR offers products and services which include; (i) design and
fabrication of customized remote sensor systems and platforms for DOD, INTEL and
Homeland Security applications; (ii) remote sensor data collection, data signal
processing and data exploitation; and (iii) training in the use of remote sensor
systems and data. These efforts involve systems engineering, system integration,
prototyping, manufacturing and field data collections as well as data analysis
and processing.

                                       64


         EOIR's most significant source of revenues is an Omnibus Contract with
the United States Army Night Vision and Electronic Sensors Directorate. The
Omnibus Contract has an extensive and varied scope that requires us to provide a
very broad range of products and technical services. For those products and
technical services that EOIR does not possess in-house, we subcontract to our
team members and other subcontractors as necessary.

         EOIR intellectual property lies in patents pending, trade secrets and
the experience and capabilities of its technical staff whom support these
research programs. We protect EOIR intellectual property and our competitive
position via patent applications, trade secrets, and non-compete agreements with
our employees.

         ADDITIONAL INFORMATION CONCERNING THE EOIR ACQUISITION CAN BE FOUND IN
(i) OUR CURRENT REPORT ON FORM 8-K FILED WITH THE SEC ON JUNE 30, 2004 (SEC FILE
#000-28863) AND IN (ii) OUR CURRENT REPORT ON FORM 8-K/A FILED WITH THE SEC ON
SEPTEMBER 13, 2004 (SEC FILE #000-28863) WHICH INCLUDES AUDITED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS FOR EOIR FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2003 AND DECEMBER 31, 2002,

CAREFULLY COPIES OF THESE DOCUMENTS AND THIS REGISTRATION STATEMENT BEFORE
MAKING AN INVESTMENT DECISION.

CHEMICAL DETECTORS

         In October 2003, our subsidiary, Security Technology, Inc., acquired
all of the common stock of Science and Technology Research, Inc., a chemical
detector manufacturer, as part of our ongoing business strategy of creating an
integrated portfolio of homeland security solutions.

         We have a contract with the U.S. Navy to be the sole producer of the
U.S. Navy's shipboard Automatic Chemical Agent Detection and Alarm System used
to detect all classic nerve and blister agents as well as other chemical warfare
agent vapors. During fiscal year 2004, our subsidiary STR recognized
approximately $4,796,715 of revenue from this contract. As of June 30, 2004, we
had delivered all the units requested to date under this existing contract.
During the six months ended December 31, 2004 our subsidiary STR recognized
approximately $428,851 of revenue from this contract. At the option of the US
Navy additional units may be purchased by the US Navy or other government
agencies under this contract in the future.

         We recently entered into an international distribution agreement with
Tradeways, Ltd, to market and sell Markland's Shipboard ACADA chemical detection
systems to foreign militaries to market our product in Argentina, Australia,
Austria, Bahrain, Canada, Chile, Croatia, Denmark, Egypt, Estonia, Finland,
Greece, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Jordan, Korea, Kuwait, Malaysia, The
Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Oman, Pakistan, Portugal, Qatar, Saudi Arabia,
Spain, Sweden, Taiwan, Turkey, and the United Arab Emirates. To date, we have
not sold any products through this channel.

         We are presently working on the design of a next generation "point"
chemical detector product, which will also operate using Ion Mobility
Spectrography ("IMS") cell technology and provide networked wireless
communication capability.

         On December 23, 2003, the U.S. Navy signed a ten-year non-exclusive
license agreement with us to transfer particular chemical detection technology
intellectual property rights to us. We believe the license will allow us to
further expand the applications for the "point" chemical detection technology
and market the technology to non-defense customers such as foreign governments
and commercial entities. We expect to continue to manufacture the Automatic
Chemical Agent Detection and Alarm System for the U.S. Navy and simultaneously
pursue opportunities with the Department of Homeland Security as well as foreign
military sales. We are experiencing a decline in demand for our chemical
detector unit from the U.S. Navy. We plan to compensate for this reduced demand
by marketing this technology to new customers within the Homeland Security
marketplace and by combining it with other technologies for sale to existing

                                       65


customers. In the interim, we are combining "stand off" chemical detection
technologies from EOIR which are based on hyper spectral infra red technology
with the "point" chemical detection technology of STR which is based on Ion
Mobility Spectroscopy. This integrated and combined chemical detection
capability we believe will accelerate penetration into new markets for the
chemical detection products we now offer and help to increase revenues in the
next fiscal year for chemical detection products.

BORDER SECURITY

         We acquired the assets of Ergo Systems, Inc., in January 2003. This
acquisition provided us with contracts with the Department of Homeland Security
to maintain, integrate, and implement design enhancements to border security
systems installed at U.S. ports of entry for the Dedicated Commuter Lane, which
is part of a larger U.S. Customs and Immigration and Naturalization Service
initiative to reduce wait times, improve data accuracy, and improve overall
efficiencies at all border crossings for both freight and passengers.

         The Dedicated Commuter Lane (DCL) integrates several important security
checks. It employs automatic vehicle identification technology, which allows
participants to pass through the border crossing more efficiently than without
automatic screening. Participants run a card through a swipe card reader, which
instantaneously sends patron information, including a photograph, to the
inspector's screen for clearance. The gate rises and allows the patron through.
The whole process takes about 30 seconds. The Dedicated Commuter Lane software
also controls a variety of security subsystems, including video surveillance,
gates, and tire shredders.

         In conjunction with the DCL maintenance contract awarded by the
Department of Homeland Security we were also awarded a contract by Computer
Sciences Corporation to perform border maintenance services in multiple ports of
entry in the southern United States. During fiscal year 2004, our subsidiary
Ergo recognized approximately $955,736 of revenue from these contracts. During
the six months ended December 31, 2004 our subsidiary Ergo Systems, Inc.
recognized approximately $227,590 of revenue from these contracts.

         During the fiscal year we also entered into a teaming agreement with
Accenture, who was recently awarded the US VISIT contract. The purpose of this
contract is to secure our borders and expedite the entry/exit process while
enhancing the integrity of our immigration system and respecting the privacy of
visitors to the United States. We have recently been awarded a subcontract which
enables the company to derive revenues from the USVISIT contract. Potential
revenue amounts from this subcontract are as yet undetermined.

         Our subcontract for the US VISIT program is part of a larger Department
of Homeland Security initiative to increase security, reduce wait times, improve
data accuracy, and improve overall efficiencies at all border crossings for both
freight and passengers by creating and implementing a "trusted traveler" concept
of traffic flow. The "trusted traveler" concept is designed for frequent border
crossers who are willing to undergo a background check and travel under some
restrictions in exchange for the use of a commuter lane. This dedicated commuter
lane substantially decreases the amount of time it takes to drive through the
border. We believe that our experience in integrating solutions will be
attractive to the Department of Homeland Security as it confronts the various
issues of protecting our borders although there can be no assurances that the
trusted traveler concept will result in an increase in sales or revenues.

ADVANCED TECHNOLOGIES

         Through research and development as well as intellectual property
acquisitions, we have established a portfolio of advanced and emerging
technologies, which we intend to commercialize and utilize within our own
proprietary products or license out for the purpose of revenue generation. These
advanced technologies and intellectual property are as follows:

         o    Gas plasma antenna,
         o    Vehicle stopping system,
         o    Acoustic Core(TM) signature analysis,
         o    APTIS(TM) human screening portal, and
         o    Cryptography software.

                                       66


         GAS PLASMA ANTENNA: We acquired gas plasma antenna technology assets
and a sub-license for plasma sterilization and decontamination from ASI
Technology Corporation in September 2003. The assets at time of purchase
included three ongoing funded SBIR government contracts and nine issued and
pending U.S. patents related to gas plasma antenna technology with demonstrated
applications in the fields of ballistic missile defense, phased array radar, and
forward deployed decontamination.

         A plasma antenna's performance equals that of a metal antenna, but the
gas plasma antenna is lighter. These antennae can be used for any purpose for
which a metal antenna is used. A gas plasma antenna weighs substantially less
than metal antennas of comparable performance. When a plasma antenna is turned
off, it is transparent, immune to electronic countermeasures and allows other
adjacent antennas to transmit or receive without interference.

         Plasma antenna technology employs ionized gas enclosed in a tube (or
other enclosure) as the conducting element of an antenna. This is a fundamental
change from traditional antenna design that generally employs solid metal wires
as the conducting element. Ionized gas is an efficient conducting element with a
number of important advantages over wire. Since the gas is ionized only for the
time of transmission or reception, "ringing" and associated effects of solid
wire antenna design are eliminated. The design allows for extremely short
pulses, a feature important to many forms of digital communication and radars.
The design further provides the opportunity to construct an antenna that can be
compact and dynamically reconfigured for frequency, direction, bandwidth, gain
and beam width. We believe plasma antenna technology will enable the design of
antennas that are more efficient, lower in weight and smaller in size than
traditional solid wire antennas.

         We believe our plasma antenna offers numerous advantages over
traditional wire antennas including stealth for military applications and higher
digital performance in commercial applications. We cannot predict when these
products will be ready for commercial or military use.

         Our gas plasma research team has been awarded US patent # 6,710,746 for
a gas plasma antenna element demonstrating reconfigurable length. The
development of this technology has been funded to date through grants from the
US Navy and Army.

         US patent #6,710,746, which has SBIR origins, relates to plasma
antennas having re-configurable length, beam width, and bandwidth.
Traditionally, antennas have been defined as metallic devices for radiating or
receiving radio waves, or as a conducting wire which is sized to emit radiation
at one or more selected frequencies. As a result, the paradigm for antenna
design has heretofore been focused on antenna geometry and physical dimensions.
We believe that our gas plasma antenna design will result in antennas with
greater flexibility and security than conventional antennas. During fiscal year
2004, funded gas plasma SBIR contracts provided approximately $261,479 in
contract revenues. Presently we do not have any purchase commitments for this
technology.

         VEHICLE STOPPING SYSTEM: Under a funded government contract, we
developed a vehicle stopping system to address the increasing risks of
unauthorized and illegal entry into the U.S. Our vehicle stopping system is
designed to safely capture vehicles that are trying to gain entry without
authorization. Our vehicle stopping system consists of a net, buried beneath the
road, which will spring up when a car or truck attempts to speed across the
border illegally. The net is attached to two spindles that unwind with
increasing tension as the illegal car is trapped. Our Vehicle Stopping System is
capable of stopping a vehicle attempting to gain illegal entry at speeds in
excess of 65 miles per hour and without personal injury to occupants or U.S.
government border personnel. The vehicle stopping system was successfully tested
in June 2003 at the San Ysidro, California port of entry. Presently we do not
have any purchase commitments for this system.

         ACOUSTIC CORE(TM): We acquired rights to the Acoustic Core(TM)
technology, as it related to illicit material detection, from Eurotech, Ltd. in
December 2002. The Acoustic Core(TM) technology utilizes acoustics sensing and
signature analysis technologies to detect a variety of materials.

                                       67


         Acoustic Core(TM) is a non-intrusive acoustic remote sensing
technology, which exhibits the potential for the automated detection of a large
variety of potentially harmful materials such as C4, plastic flare guns, and
ceramics. This technology is capable of computerized automatic screening of
containers, vehicles and humans. It can detect a broad range of illegal
materials even if the materials are moving at a high rate of speed, with low
false alarm rates, and it utilizes low frequency acoustic energy, which is safe
for humans. This speed and accuracy makes the technology suitable for primary
screening applications where large volumes of containers or humans need to be
screened quickly and accurately, such as in an airport or at a border crossing.

         The product of almost a decade of intensive laboratory and field
research, we believe the Acoustic Core(TM) technology has the potential to enter
the security marketplace to fill high-priority homeland security needs. Because
Acoustic Core(TM) technology can utilize the independent acoustic signatures of
various materials, products can be developed and programmed to detect a large
array of harmful substances, including explosives, and bio-hazardous and
radioactive compounds.

         We believe that the Acoustic Core(TM) technology can screen large
containers while they are in motion, such as during transport via truck or
railcar. Primary screening of containers in this manner allows for segregation
of suspicious containers for secondary screening by a handheld version of the
remote sensing products.

         We completed a project with the U.S. Air Force through a Co-Operative
Research and Development Agreement which used our proprietary Acoustic Core(TM)
technology to inspect cargo. While this contract did not generate revenue for
us, we expect to develop the technology for use in commercially viable products.
However, we cannot predict when these products will be ready for commercial or
military use. Presently we do not have any purchase commitments for this
technology.

         APTIS(TM): We are involved in the design and testing of APTIS(TM), an
acoustic screening portal intended to facilitate screening of humans for
concealed metallic and non-metallic weapons such as ceramic knives and plastic
guns and explosives. The technology is very flexible and can be incorporated
into existing entry portal systems such as metal detectors, eliminating the need
to replace these systems used to safely screen humans for explosives. Although
we continue to develop this prototype, we cannot predict when it will be ready
for commercial use. Presently we do not have any purchase commitments for this
system.

COMPETITION

         The markets for our products and solutions are extremely competitive
and are characterized by rapid technological change as a result of technical
developments exploited by competitors, the changing technical needs of the
customers, and frequent introductions of new features. We expect competition to
increase as other companies introduce products that are competitively priced,
that may have increased performance or functionality, or that incorporate
technological advances not yet developed or implemented by us. Some of our
present and potential competitors may have financial, marketing, and research
resources substantially greater than ours. In order to compete effectively in
this environment, we must continually develop and market new and enhanced
products at competitive prices, and have the resources to invest in significant
research and development activities. There is a risk that we may not be able to
make the technological advances necessary to compete successfully. Existing and
new competitors may enter or expand their efforts in our markets, or develop new
products to compete against ours. Our competitors may develop new technologies
or enhancements to existing products or introduce new products that will offer
superior price or performance features. New products or technologies may render
our products obsolete. Many of our primary competitors are well established
companies that have substantially greater financial, managerial, technical,
marketing, personnel and other resources than we do.

         We have particular proprietary technologies, some of which have been
developed, and others that are in development. We will focus on our proprietary
technologies, or leverage our management experience, in order to differentiate
ourselves from these organizations. There are many other technologies being
presented to the Department of Homeland Security that directly compete with our
technologies. The Department of Homeland Security may pursue solutions different
from ours.

                                       68


INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

         Our ability to compete effectively depends to a significant extent on
our ability to protect our proprietary information. We rely primarily on patents
and trade secret laws, confidentiality procedures and licensing arrangements to
protect our intellectual property rights. We own multiple U.S. and foreign
patents. We enter into confidentiality agreements with our consultants and key
employees, and maintain controls over access to and distribution of our
technology, software and other proprietary information. The steps we have taken
to protect our technology may be inadequate to prevent others from using what we
regard as our technology to compete with us.

         We do not generally conduct exhaustive patent searches to determine
whether the technology used in our products infringes patents held by third
parties. In addition, product development is inherently uncertain in a rapidly
evolving technological environment in which there may be numerous patent
applications pending, many of which are confidential when filed, with regard to
similar technologies.

         We may face claims by third parties that our products or technology
infringe their patents or other intellectual property rights in the future. Any
claim of infringement could cause us to incur substantial costs defending
against the claim, even if the claim is invalid, and could distract the
attention of our management. If any of our products are found to violate
third-party proprietary rights, we may be required to pay substantial damages.
In addition, we may be required to re-engineer our products or seek to obtain
licenses from third parties to continue to offer our products. Any efforts to
re-engineer our products or obtain licenses on commercially reasonable terms may
not be successful, which would prevent us from selling our products, and, in any
case, could substantially increase our costs and have a material adverse effect
on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

         EOIR provides engineers and scientists to perform research at
Government research Laboratories. However, research performed in these
Government laboratories is paid for with Government funds and is typically the
property of the US Government. This intellectual property may be utilized via
licensing agreements executed with the US Government, but there are no
guarantees that the US Government will provide such licenses.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

         During the quarter and six months ended December 31, 2004, we spent
$110,267 on research and development activities compared to no expenditures for
the quarter and six months ended December 31, 2003.

         During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2003 and June 30, 2004, we spent
$522,657 and $49,289 on research and development respectively. During the fiscal
year ended June 30, 2004, we reduced our research and development efforts to
concentrate our financial resources on product marketing activities and as a
result of completion of funded SBIR contracts.

         Our research and development activities consist of projects funded
entirely by us or with the assistance of SBIR grants, and SBIR projects are
generally directed towards the discovery of specific information requested by
the government research sponsor.

         In addition, our subsidiary EOIR is permitted to charge and recover a
percentage of its administrative budget on Internal Research and Development
programs. These programs are generally short in duration and may yield new
processes or techniques that will advance our technical knowledge on our
Government programs.

         We believe that focused investments in research and development are
critical to our future growth and competitive position in the marketplace. Our
research and development efforts are directed to timely development of new and
enhanced products that are central to our business strategy. The industries in
which we compete are subject to rapid technological developments, evolving
industry standards, changes in customer requirements, and new product
introductions and enhancements. As a result, our success depends in part upon
our ability to enhance our existing products, develop and introduce new products
that improve performance on a cost effective and timely basis. We may be unable
to successfully develop products to address new customer requirements or
technological changes, and any products we develop may not achieve market
acceptance.

                                       69


DEPENDENCE ON U.S. GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS

         We offer substantially all of our entire range of our services and
products to agencies of the U.S. Government. In both fiscal years 2004 and 2003,
and during the six months ended December 31, 2004, 100% of our revenue came from
U.S. Government prime or subcontracts.

         Although we are continuously working to diversify our client base, we
will continue to aggressively seek additional work from the US Government. As
with other government contractors, our business is subject to government client
funding decisions and actions that are beyond our control.

         Much of our business is won through submission of formal competitive
bids. Commercial bids are frequently negotiated as to terms and conditions for
schedule, specifications, delivery and payment. With respect to bids for
government work, however, in most cases the client specifies the terms and
conditions and form of contract.

         Essentially all contracts with the United States Government, and many
contracts with other government entities, permit the government client to
terminate the contract at any time for the convenience of the government or for
default by the contractor. We operate under the risk that such terminations may
occur and have a material impact on operations.

GOVERNMENT REGULATION

         Most of our U.S. Government business is subject to unique procurement
and administrative rules based on both laws and regulations, including the U.S.
Federal Acquisition Regulation that provide various profit and cost controls,
rules for allocations of costs, both direct and indirect, to contracts and
non-reimbursement of unallowable costs such as interest expenses and some costs
related to business acquisitions, including for example the incremental
depreciation and amortization expenses arising from fair value increases to the
historical carrying values of acquired assets.

         Companies supplying defense-related equipment to the U.S. Government
are subject to some additional business risks specific to the U.S. defense
industry. Among these risks are the ability of the U.S. Government to
unilaterally suspend a company from new contracts pending resolution of alleged
violations of procurement laws or regulations. In addition, U.S. Government
contracts are conditioned upon the continuing availability of Congressional
appropriations. Congress usually appropriates funds for a given program on a
September 30 fiscal year basis, even though contract performance may take
several years. Consequently, at the outset of a major program, the contract is
usually partially funded, and additional monies are normally committed to the
contract by the procuring agency only as appropriations are made by Congress for
future fiscal years.

         U.S. Government contracts are, by their terms, subject to unilateral
termination by the U.S. Government either for its convenience or default by the
contractor if the contractor fails to perform the contracts' scope of work. Upon
termination other than for a contractor's default, the contractor will normally
be entitled to reimbursement for allowable costs and an allowance for profit.
Foreign defense contracts generally contain comparable provisions permitting
termination at the convenience of the government. To date, none of our
significant contracts have been terminated.

         As is common in the U.S. defense industry, we are subject to business
risks, including changes in the U.S. Government's procurement policies (such as
greater emphasis on competitive procurement), governmental appropriations,
national defense policies or regulations, service modernization plans, and
availability of funds. A reduction in expenditures by the U.S. Government for
products and services of the type we manufacture and provide, lower margins
resulting from increasingly competitive procurement policies, a reduction in the
volume of contracts or subcontracts awarded to us or the incurrence of
substantial contract cost overruns could materially adversely affect our
business.

         Some of our sales are direct commercial sales to foreign governments.
These sales are subject to U.S. Government approval and licensing under the Arms
Export Control Act. Legal restrictions on sales of sensitive U.S. technology
also limit the extent to which we can sell our products to foreign governments
or private parties. Currently we do not have any sales from overseas customers.

                                       70


SALES AND MARKETING

         We currently divide the marketing efforts of our products and services
into three areas: (1) directly to federal or local government agencies, (2) to
large partners who may represent an opportunity for us as subcontractors, and
(3) to commercial entities. These marketing duties are divided among upper
management.

MANUFACTURING

         Our primary manufacturing facilities are located in Fredericksburg, VA
and Providence, RI .We also utilize our offices in Providence, RI as
manufacturing prototype development facilities.

EMPLOYEES

         As of March 2005, we employed approximately 230 full-time employees. We
believe our future success will depend upon the continued service of our key
technical and senior management personnel and upon our continued ability to
attract and retain highly qualified technical and managerial personnel. None of
our employees is represented by a labor union. We have never experienced a work
stoppage and consider our relationship with our employees to be good.

                                    PROPERTY

         We have a three year lease for our executive offices of approximately
1,000 square feet located in Ridgefield, Connecticut and a month-to-month lease
for a manufacturing facility of approximately 5,000 square feet located in
Fredericksburg, Virginia. We also have an administrative office in Providence,
RI which is utilized under a monthly sublease comprising approximately 4,000
square feet.

         EOIR, our wholly owned subsidiary, holds a four-year lease its
executive and administrative offices of approximately 5,420 square feet in
Woodbridge, Virginia. The lease, which has an option to renew for an additional
three-year term, expires on September 30, 2005. EOIR also leases approximately
5,000 square feet in Spotsylvania, Virginia, where it houses its software
development unit. This lease is currently on a month-to-month basis.

         We also have several offices located in Fredericksburg, Va. One office
with approximately 4,722 sq. ft., with a one-year lease, one with 1,200 sq. ft.,
with a five-year lease, one with 10,000 sq. ft., with a five-year lease, and one
with 4,200 sq. ft., with a five-year lease. In addition, we have a one-year
lease for an executive office in Boston, Massachusetts. The monthly rental
amount for this facility is approximately $1,600.00. Our majority owned
subsidiary, Technest Holdings, Inc., rents a single executive office on a month
to month basis in Ridgefield, CT. Genex Technologies, Inc., a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Technest, leases offices with approximately 6,831 sq. ft. in
Kensington, MD, pursuant to a five-year lease which expires January 31, 2006.

         We believe that our present facilities are adequate to meet our current
needs. If new or additional space is required, we believe that adequate
facilities are available at competitive prices. However, we may not be able to
relocate to a new facility without severely disrupting the production of our
goods.

                                LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

         On June 28, 2004, Charles Wainer filed a civil suit against the Company
in Florida state court alleging breach of a stock purchase agreement and breach
of an employment agreement stemming from Wainer's sale of his business to a
predecessor of the Company and his subsequent employment thereat. In the
complaint, Wainer alleges Markland owes him $300,000 cash, some unspecified
portion of $700,000 in stock, some unspecified portion of $86,000 cash for lease
payments, and approximately $20,000 in back-pay. The Company believes that these
claims are without merit and plans to vigorously defend the action. On August
11, 2004, the Company answered the complaint and denied any liability. The trial
of this matter began on January 31, 2005; on that date, the presiding judge
referred the parties to mediation.

                                       71


         On or about September 16, 2004, Joseph R. Moulton, Sr. initiated a
lawsuit in the Circuit Court of Spotsylvania County, Virginia, against the
Company, EOIR, our wholly owned subsidiary, and our Chief Executive Officer and
Director, Robert Tarini. Mr. Moulton was the largest single shareholder of EOIR
prior to its acquisition by the Company, owning approximately 67% of the EOIR
capital stock. Mr. Moulton received approximately $5,863,000 in cash and a
promissory note of EOIR in the approximate principal amount of $6,967,000 for
his shares of EOIR at the closing of the acquisition of EOIR by the Company.

         In his complaint Mr. Moulton asserts, among other things, that the
Company breached its obligations under the Stock Purchase Agreement, dated June
29, 2004, pursuant to which the Company acquired EOIR, by terminating Mr.
Moulton's employment with EOIR and removing him from the EOIR board of
directors.

         Mr. Moulton is seeking damages allegedly suffered by his loss of
employment, extreme emotional distress, and costs incurred to enforce his
contractual rights. In addition, he is seeking some other equitable relief
including, the appointment of a receiver to oversee the management of EOIR until
these promissory notes issued to former EOIR shareholders at the closing of the
acquisition are paid in full and a declaratory judgment that the Company's
actions constitute an event of default under these promissory notes allowing for
the acceleration of all amounts (approximately $11,000,000) due thereunder. The
Company is a guarantor of these notes.

         The Company believes that the allegations in this lawsuit are entirely
without merit. The Company has filed an answer denying Mr. Moulton's allegations
and opposing vigorously all equitable relief sought. The Company has also filed
a demurrer seeking to dismiss some claims. The Company is considering bringing
various claims against Mr. Moulton either by counterclaim or in a separate
action.

         In addition, we are subject to legal proceedings, claims, and
litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome of
these matters is currently not determinable, we do not expect that the ultimate
costs to resolve these matters will have a material adverse effect on our
consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

                                  RECENT EVENTS

RESIGNATIONS GREGORY A. WILLIAMS AND KENNETH P. DUCEY, JR. - APPOINTMENTS OF
GINO M. PEREIRA AND DR. JOSEPH P. MACKIN

         On November 1, 2004, Gregory A. Williams notified our Board of
Directors of his resignation from the Board and his positions as Director,
Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer, and Chief Operating Officer
of our wholly owned subsidiary, EOIR Technologies, Inc. Mr. Williams was a
shareholder of EOIR prior to the acquisition of EOIR on June 29, 2004. To our
knowledge, Mr. Williams' resignation was not in connection with any disagreement
concerning matters relating to the Company's operations, policies or practices.
On November 1, 2004, we entered into an agreement with Mr. Williams and EOIR
detailing the terms and conditions of Mr. Williams' resignation, including,
among other things, (a) payment to Mr. Williams of twelve months of severance
and all accrued and unused vacation time, (b) continuation of benefits until the

              year) until January 15, 2005 when it was increased to a base
              salary of $25,000.00 per month (total of $300,000.00 per year);
         o    payment of all necessary and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
              incurred by the employee in the performance of his duties under
              this agreement;
         o    up to $2,000 monthly, increased to $4,000 monthly on January 15,
              2005, for auto expense, business office expense and medical and
              life insurance expenses;
         o    eligibility to participate in bonus or incentive compensation
              plans that may be established by the Board from time to time
              applicable to Mr. Tarini's services;
         o    eligibility to receive a bonus if we achieve revenue and revenue
              and profit milestones set by the Board; and
         o    conditional stock awards granted at different periods, earned
              based upon a performance criteria achieved by the Company and set
              by the Board.

         The employment agreement provides for a grant of 3,000,000 shares of
our common stock to Mr. Pereira on the date of signing. The employment agreement
provides for additional periodic grants of our common stock to Mr. Pereira. Each
individual grant is conditioned upon the Company achieving performance
objectives, based on a plan to be ratified by the Board during regularly
scheduled meetings for each of the applicable years.

         Shares issued to Mr. Pereira are non transferable and subject to
forfeiture. If the Company files a registration statement following the date of
the final grant, Mr. Pereira has the right to participate in such registration
statement. The agreement also provides for preemptive rights in connection with
potentially dilutive events for a period of five years from the effective date
of the agreement.

         Mr. Pereira will be eligible to receive a bonus of up to 300% of his
annual base salary. For any quarter of the Company's operations, Mr. Pereira
will be eligible for a portion of his bonus if the Company achieves revenue and
profit milestones set forth by the Board in its periodic meetings. On February
23, 2005, Mr. Pereira received a cash bonus equal to $200,000.

         As reported on our current report on Form 8-K, filed on January 7,
2005, we granted 3,000,000 to Mr. Pereira on December 30, 2004. These shares
have not been registered with the SEC and were granted in reliance on Section
4(2) of the Securities Act.

                                       81


         The employment agreement provides that in the event that Mr. Pereira's
engagement with us is terminated by us without cause (as that term is defined in
Section 8 of the agreement), or by Mr. Pereira for "Good Reason" (as that term
is defined in Section 8(f) of the agreement) Mr. Pereira's options will
immediately vest and we will continue to pay Mr. Pereira's cash salary and
provide health insurance through the earlier of (a) expiration of this
employment agreement or (b) until Mr. Pereira finds equivalent full time
employment. In the event that Mr. Pereira's employment with us is terminated for
any other reason, there will be no continuation of cash salary payments or
health insurance.

         The employment agreement contains a change in control provision that
provides for an acceleration of stock grants and cash salary to Mr. Pereira upon
a change in control resulting in the a change in the majority ownership of the
Company, resignation or termination of a majority of the current board of
directors within a two month period, or replacement of the Chief Executive
Officer. In the event of such a change in control, all pending stock grants will
immediately be granted and an amount equal to the lesser of three times his then
current cash salary or the cash salary owed through the end of the employment
agreement will be placed in an escrow account for distribution to Mr. Pereira.
As a result, Mr. Pereira may be entitled to receive these payments whether or
not he is terminated.

         The employment agreement provides that in the event that Mr. Pereira
ceases to be employed by the Company, for any reason or no reason, with or
without cause, we may, at our own discretion, acquire all or a portion of the
common stock granted to Mr. Pereira, at a price of $0.01 per share. Provided
that such repurchase options may only be exercised for those shares that have
not been registered with the SEC, or sold pursuant to Rule 144.

PRIOR EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS SUPPLANTED BY EMPLOYMENT AND CONSULTING AGREEMENTS
EXECUTED ON DECEMBER 30, 2004

         THE AGREEMENTS SUMMARIZED BELOW HAVE BEEN SUPPLANTED BY THE AGREEMENTS
WE ENTERED INTO ON DECEMBER 30, 2004. NEVERTHELESS, WE PROVIDE A DESCRIPTION OF
THESE AGREEMENTS BECAUSE THEY ARE REFLECTED IN THE " SUMMARY COMPENSATION TABLE"

         ROBERT TARINI AND KENNETH DUCEY, JR. On May 12, 2004, the Company
entered into five-year compensation agreements with Robert Tarini, our Chairman
and Chief Executive Officer, Kenneth Ducey, Jr., our President and Chief
Financial Officer, and Asset Growth Company. These agreements were terminated
and replaced with the current employment agreements described above. Asset
Growth Company is wholly owned by Kenneth Ducey, Jr., and the following
compensation terms of our agreements with Asset Growth Company and Kenneth
Ducey, Jr., are provided on an aggregated basis.

         These agreements, as amended on June 14, 2004, provided for the
following remuneration to each of Robert Tarini and Kenneth Ducey, Jr.
(including Asset Growth Company):

         o    Base annual remuneration of $300,000 payable over the five-year
              period ending January 2, 2009;
         o    Discretionary bonuses over the term of the agreement of up to 300%
              of the base remuneration;
         o    Conditional stock grants over the period commencing April 1, 2004
              through January 2, 2008, based on performance criteria. The stock
              grants, if all earned, entitle each of Messrs. Tarini and Ducey
              (including Asset Growth Company) to receive up to 7.5% of the
              Company's common stock on a fully diluted basis. These grants are
              earned according to the following schedule:

                   GRANT                STOCK PERCENTAGE       DATE FOR GRANT
                   -----                ----------------       --------------

                   Grant One                   2.5%            May 12, 2004

                   Grant Two                   1.0%            July 1, 2004

                   Grant Three                 1.0%            October 1, 2004

                   Grant Four                  1.0%            January 2, 2005

                   Grant Five                  1.0%            January 2, 2006

                   Grant Six                   0.5%            January 2, 2007

                   Grant Seven                 0.5%            January 2, 2008

                                       82


         The number of shares of common stock to be granted on each grant date
is equal to the product of (a) the number of fully diluted shares outstanding at
the grant date and (b) the stock percentage associated with that grant date;

         o    In the event of a change in control of the Company during the
              period covered by the agreement, each executive/consultant will
              automatically be granted all remaining stock grants and will be
              due cash and expense compensation for the shorter of (i) three
              years from the date of the change in control, or (ii) until the
              end of the term of the agreement. A change in control is defined
              by the agreements as a change in the majority ownership of the
              equity of the company, the resignation or termination of the
              majority of the board of directors within a two month period, or
              the replacement of the CEO or the President of the Company; and

         o    Expense allowance for all reasonable and necessary expenses of
              $5,000 per month.

         The new agreements supersede our prior employment or consulting
arrangements with Messrs. Tarini and Ducey, the terms of which are summarized
below:

         Pursuant to our consulting agreement with Mr. Tarini, he served as our
chairman and chief executive officer for an initial term of three years at a
base consulting fee of $10,000 per month. We also agreed to reimburse Mr. Tarini
for all reasonable and necessary out-of-pocket expenses related to the
performance of his duties under this agreement. We issued 430,474 shares of our
common stock in connection with the execution of the agreement and satisfaction
of stated performance criteria. Mr. Tarini was eligible to receive a
performance-based bonus of up to four times his annual base salary upon the
conclusion of the term of the agreement. He was also eligible to participate in
any bonus or incentive compensation program established by our board of
directors.

         In the event that we terminated Mr. Tarini's engagement without cause,
or he terminated his engagement for "good reason" (defined in the agreement as,
among other things, the assignment of duties inconsistent with Mr. Tarini's
position or any material breach by us of the consulting agreement), we would
have been obligated to continue payments until the earlier of (a) three months
from the date of termination or (b) the date on which Mr. Tarini obtained a
full-time engagement elsewhere. This agreement also subjected Mr. Tarini's to
some restrictive covenants, including an obligation to maintain confidential
information.

         Under our employment agreement with Mr. Ducey, he served as our
president and chief financial officer for an initial term of three years at an
annual base salary of $185,000. The agreement also provided for up to $1,200 a
month for his expenses, including his automobile, health insurance and
reasonable expenses associated with setting up and maintaining a home office.
The remaining terms of his agreement, including provisions for grants of common
stock, bonuses and severance pay, were substantially the same as those of Mr.
Tarini's agreement.

         Delmar R. Kintner. We entered into an employment agreement with Mr.
Kintner in January 2003 whereby he would serve as our chief executive officer
for an initial term of one year at an annual base salary of $150,000. The
agreement provided for a grant of up to 2.27% of our common stock on a
fully-diluted basis provided some performance criteria were met. It also
provided for up to $1,200 a month for his expenses, including his automobile,
health insurance and reasonable expenses associated with setting up and
maintaining a home office. This agreement was terminated in November 2003. Prior
to termination, Mr. Kintner was granted 119,303 shares of our common stock, with
a fair market value of $343,097 as of the date of grant. We are not required
under the agreement with Mr. Kintner to provide for any further compensation,
including any additional grants of our common stock.

        purchase a number of shares to be determined by dividing a stated value
        by the fair market value per share at the time of vesting. Solely for
        the purposes of determining these percentages, we have assumed that the
        number of shares for which such options are exercisable is equal to the
        number of shares which would be issuable upon exercise were the options
        vested in full on June 30, 2004.

(1)     Includes warrants to purchase 1,698,133 shares of our common stock
        issued as finder's fees in connection with the Securities Purchase
        Agreements entered into between some investors and our company dated
        April 2, 2004, April 16, 2004 and May 3, 2004, and 10,596,026 shares of
        our common stock underlying options issued to some of our employees.
        Included in the number of shares issuable upon the exercise of options
        are five future price options issued to one of our employees. Solely for
        the purpose of determining the number of shares issuable upon the
        exercise of these options, we have assumed full vesting as of June 30,
        2004, at which time the options would have been exercisable for up to
        1,205,286 shares of our common stock.

(2)     On June 29, 2004, our board of directors adopted the Markland
        Technologies, Inc. 2004 Stock Incentive Plan we have reserved a total of
        25,000,000 shares of common stock for issuance under the 2004 Stock
        Incentive Plan, of which 14,403,974 remained available for future
        issuance as of June 30, 2004. The 2004 Stock Incentive Plan authorizes
        the grant of incentive options, non-statutory options, and restricted
        and unrestricted stock. For a complete description of the 2004 Stock
        Incentive Plan, please refer to footnote 9 to the Financial Statements.

(3)     Included in this figure are 17,436,271 shares of our common stock are
        potentially issuable under our four-year employment agreements with each
        of Robert Tarini, Kenneth P. Ducey, Jr., and Verdi Consulting, effective
        January 1, 2004. Under each of these agreements, we are required to
        issue shares upon the achievement of performance objectives. The number
        of shares to be granted is determined as a percentage of our outstanding
        common stock, calculated on a fully diluted basis (i.e., the number of
        shares of common stock which would be outstanding were all outstanding
        instruments convertible or exercisable for shares of common stock
        converted or exercised in full). The 17,436,271 shares consist of
        6,637,143 shares of our common stock which we issued subsequent to the
        completion of our 2004 fiscal year and an additional 10,315,179 shares
        of common stock, representing an estimate of the maximum number of
        shares which may become issuable in the event all performance criteria
        are met. Solely for the purposes of this estimate, we have assumed that
        the outstanding fully diluted common stock at the time of the first such
        future grant will be equal to the number outstanding as of June 30,
        2004. We can provide no assurance that the actual number of shares
        ultimately granted under these agreements will not exceed this estimate.
        For a complete description of each of these agreements, please refer to
        footnote 12 to the Financial Statements.

MARKLAND TECHNOLOGIES, INC. 2004 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

         On June 29, 2004, we adopted the Markland Technologies, Inc. 2004 Stock
Incentive Plan (the "Plan"). The Plan authorizes the grant of incentive stock
options to officers and employees of Markland and its subsidiaries, and
non-statutory stock options, restricted stock and unrestricted stock to
officers, employees and other persons providing services to Markland. Unless
otherwise so designated, an option shall be a non-statutory option. If an option
does not qualify as an incentive stock option, it shall constitute a
non-statutory option. The Plan provides for the issuance of up to 25,000,000
shares of Markland's common stock.

         DURATION. The Plan has a duration of ten years. However, the Board of
Directors of Markland may amend or terminate the Plan at any time, for any
reason. In the event the Plan is terminated, no outstanding award shall be
affected thereby except by consent of the participant holding the award.

         ADMINISTRATION. The Plan is administered by a committee of Markland's
Board of Directors consisting of at least two non-employee directors. If for any
reason the Committee is not in existence the Board of Directors is responsible
for the administration of the plan.

         PARTICIPATION. All of Markland's officers, directors, employees,
consultants and advisors and its "subsidiary corporations" within the meaning of
Section 424 of the Internal Revenue Code may participated in this Plan. If any
participant's employment terminates

         o    by reason of death, any incentive stock option owned by such
              participant may thereafter be exercised to the extent exercisable
              at the date of death, by the legal representative or legatee of
              the participant, until the earliest to occur of the date which is
              180 days from the date of death, the expiration of the stated term
              of the Incentive stock option, or termination of the Incentive
              stock option pursuant to a merger or sale of Markland.

         o    by reason of a permanent and total disability may thereafter be
              exercised, to the extent it was exercisable at the time of such
              termination, until the earliest to occur of the date which is 180
              days from the date of termination of employment, the expiration of
              the stated term of the Incentive stock option, or termination of
              the Incentive stock option pursuant to a merger or sale of
              Markland.

         o    for cause or has been voluntarily terminated by the participant,
              any Incentive stock option held by such participant shall
              immediately terminate upon termination of the participant's
              employment and be of no further force and effect.

         o    by reason of normal retirement, any incentive stock option held by
              such participant may thereafter be exercised to the extent it was
              exercisable on the date of termination of employment for (i)
              ninety days from the date of termination of employment or (ii)
              until the expiration of the stated term of the option, whichever
              is earlier.

         o    for any reason other than death, disability, normal retirement,
              for cause, or voluntarily by the participant any incentive stock
              option held by such participant may thereafter be exercised to the
              extent it was exercisable on the date of termination of employment
              for (i) sixty days from the date of termination of employment or
              (ii) until the expiration of the stated term of the option,
              whichever is earlier.

         Unless the Committee determines otherwise, non-statutory options are
not subject to such limitations on exercise upon termination of employment. Any
non-statutory option granted under the plan shall contain such terms and
conditions with respect to its termination as the Committee, in its discretion,
may from time to time determine.

         EXERCISE OF OPTIONS; PAYMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE. Stock options under the
Stock incentive plan may be exercised in whole or in part, by delivering written
notice of the exercise to the Company, specifying the number of shares to be
purchased and the address to which the certificates for such shares are to be
mailed.

                                       86


         Payment of the purchase price may be made by any combination of (a)
cash, certified or bank check, or other instrument acceptable to the Committee,
(b) if permitted by the Committee, in the form of shares of stock that are not
then subject to restrictions, valued at fair market value on the exercise date,
(c) if permitted by the Committee, in the form of reducing the number of shares
of stock otherwise issuable to the participant upon exercise of the stock option
by a number of shares having a fair market value equal to such aggregate
exercise price, (d) if permitted by the Committee, a personal recourse note
issued by the participant to the Company in a principal amount equal to such
aggregate exercise price and with such other terms as the Committee may
determine, (e) by such other means permitted by the Committee, or (f) if
permitted by the Committee, any combination of the foregoing.

     DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT
                                   LIABILITIES

         Article X of our charter provides that, subject to Section 607.0850 of
the Florida Business Corporation Act, we will indemnify our current and former
officers and directors against expenses (including attorneys fees), judgments,
fines and amounts paid in settlement arising out of his services as our officer
or director.

         Section 607.0850 of the Florida Business Corporation Act states that we
have the power to indemnify any person made a party to any lawsuit by reason of
being our director or officer against expenses (including attorneys' fees),
judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred
by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good
faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the
best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.

         Our employment agreements with our directors and officers contain
provisions requiring us to indemnify them to the fullest extent permitted by
Florida law. The indemnification agreements require us to indemnify our
directors and officers to the extent permitted by our charter and to advance
their expenses incurred in connection with a proceeding with respect to which
they are entitled to indemnification.

         Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the small
business issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the small
business issuer has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and
Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed
in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

                 CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

TRANSACTIONS INVOLVING OUR OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS

                                      2002

         On December 9, 2002, our subsidiary, Security Technology, Inc.,
acquired intellectual property rights and assets relating the Acoustic Core(TM)
technology for detecting illicit material from Crypto.com, Inc., a subsidiary of
Eurotech, Ltd. In exchange for the purchased technology, we agreed to issue for
4,498,638 shares of our common stock to Eurotech, Ltd. and ipPartners, Inc. Of
the shares issued, 3,998,789 were transferred to Eurotech as payment for causing
Crypto.com to deliver to us the purchased technology, and 499,849 were
transferred to ipPartners in exchange for their forgiveness and discharge of
some obligations owed to them by Crypto.com in connection to the property
transferred.

         ipPartners, Inc. is controlled by Robert Tarini, our Chief Executive
Officer, however, at the time of this transaction, Mr. Tarini was an unrelated
third party. After the transaction, Eurotech, Ltd. owned eighty percent (80%) of
our outstanding common stock, making us their majority-owned subsidiary. In
order to accomplish this transaction, Market LLC and James LLC, our controlling
shareholders at the time, agreed to a recapitalization of the Company whereby
Market LLC and James LLC collectively surrendered 4,498,638 shares of our common
stock, and $5,225,000 of convertible promissory notes, in exchange for
$5,225,000 in stated value Series C cumulative convertible preferred stock.

                                       88


                                      2003

         During January 2003, we completed our acquisition of Ergo Systems, Inc.
from Ocean Data Equipment Corporation, now called SyQwest, Inc. Robert Tarini,
our Chief Executive Officer, is also the Chief Executive Officer of SyQwest,
Inc. Ergo's main asset is an annually renewable U.S. Government General Services
Administration contract to provide logistic support and product development for
five U.S. ports of entry. In exchange for Ergo we agreed to pay SyQwest $400,000
in cash, due in installments that are triggered with the completion of research
milestones.

         During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004, $1,244,327 was paid to
SyQwest for these services and there was a payable due to SyQwest of $40,607 at
the year end.

         On March 27, 2003, we entered into an exchange agreement with Eurotech
whereby Eurotech exchanged 1,666,666 shares of our common stock for 16,000
shares of our Series D cumulative convertible preferred stock. Our Series D
cumulative convertible preferred stock has a stated value of $1,000 per share
and has a beneficial conversion feature where each share is immediately
convertible into common stock at a discount to market prices. During the past
six months we have also issued shares of our Series D cumulative convertible
preferred stock to James LLC. James LLC has invested a total of $3,832,000 in
our Series D cumulative convertible preferred stock. As of February 17, 2005,
the Series D cumulative convertible preferred stock held by James LLC was
convertible into 30,279,088 shares of our common stock.

         On July 24, 2003, we entered into an agreement with SyQwest, Inc., in
which we issued 750,000 shares of our common stock in exchange for the
forgiveness of $450,000 for unpaid services performed by SyQwest in connection
with research conducted in relation to our vehicle stopping technology. Robert
Tarini, our Chief Executive Officer, is also the Chief Executive Officer of
SyQwest. We have the right at any time by written notice to repurchase these
shares from SyQwest at a price equal to $.01 per share.

         On September 30, 2003 we acquired one hundred percent (100%) of the
outstanding stock of Science and Technology Research, Inc., which produces our
U.S. Navy shipboard automatic chemical agent detection and alarm system product.
We paid the stockholder of Science and Technology Research a total of $6,475,000
consisting of $900,000 in cash, common stock valued at $5,100,000, a promissory
note of $375,000, and acquisition costs of $100,000. To finance this acquisition
we executed a two year, twelve percent (12%), secured Promissory Note with Bay
View Capital, LLC for $1,400,000. Bay View Capital, LLC is controlled by Robert
Tarini, our Chief Executive Officer, and Chad A. Verdi, whom we have engaged as
a consultant. The outstanding balance and accrued interest of this note were
repaid in full in April 2004.

         During the six months ended December 31, 2004 SyQwest provided $213,980
in engineering and software services and charged $36,000 for rent.

                                      2004

         On June 29, 2004, we acquired all of the outstanding stock of EOIR for
$8 million in cash and $11 million in principal amount of five year notes issued
to the former shareholders of EOIR, including one of our current directors,
Joseph P. Mackin. Dr. Mackin had no affiliation with us prior to the
transaction. In connection with his continued employment at EOIR, and as a
condition of the acquisition, we granted him, options to purchase 1,250,286
shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.3775 per share. The
options vest in five equal annual installments.

         Also in connection with this acquisition, we issued to James LLC 3,500
shares of Series D preferred stock in exchange for $2,000,000 cash. The Series D
preferred stock is convertible at the option of the stockholder at any time. The
number of shares of our common stock into which each share of Series D preferred
is convertible is determined by dividing $1,000 by the discounted bid price. The
"discounted" bid price is the average closing bid price of our common stock
during the five business days immediately preceding the conversion date
multiplied by the applicable discount factor, as set forth below.

                                       89


AVERAGE CLOSING BID PRICE (1)                           DISCOUNT FACTOR

more than $15.00, but less than or equal to $30.00            75%

- -------------
(1)      After an adjustment for a 1-for-60 reverse stock split effective
         October 27, 2003.

The Series D preferred stock can be converted only to the extent that the Series
D stockholder will not, as a result of the conversion, hold in excess of 9.999%
of the total outstanding shares of our common stock. During the six months ended
December 31, 2004, James LLC converted 7,331 shares of Series D preferred stock
into 15,868,206 shares of the Company's common stock.

         On September 21, 2004, we sold secured convertible promissory notes and
common stock purchase warrants to two institutional investors. As a condition to
this sale, the investors required our Chief Executive Officer, Robert Tarini,
and our Chief Financial Officer, Kenneth Ducey, Jr., to enter into a lock-up
agreement pursuant to which Mr. Tarini and Mr. Ducey agreed not to sell any
shares of our common stock until 60 days after the effective date of a
registration statement covering the resale of the underlying shares of common
stock of those securities sold in the September 21, 2004 private placement.

         As part of our private placement of secured convertible promissory
notes and common stock purchase warrants completed on September 21, 2004, James
LLC, the largest holder of our Series D preferred stock, agreed not to sell any
of its holdings of Series D preferred stock until the earlier to occur of: (1)
notice from the us and the investors that the transactions contemplated had been
completed had been terminated, or (2) March 15, 2005. However, pursuant to the
terms of the lock-up agreement, James LLC may still convert their Series D
shares and sell the underlying shares of common stock in accordance with the
volume limitations of Rule 144 of the Securities Act. In exchange, we agreed
that subject to some conditions, if we did not redeem the Series D stock by
January 15, 2005, we would issue to James LLC a warrant to purchase 1,088,160
shares of our common stock at $.80. This agreement was subsequently replaced by
a preferred stock restriction agreement entered into on January 5, 2005 and
described in detail below. In connection with the execution of the preferred
stock restriction agreement, on January 5, 2005 we issued warrants to purchase
one million eighty-eight thousand one hundred sixty (1,088,160) shares of common
stock to James LLC at an exercise price of $0.60 per share. James LLC is
entitled to have the shares subject to these warrants included in the first
registration statement filed by us with the SEC following the equity line
registration statement. These warrants are unregistered securities and are being
issued in reliance on Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.

         On July 28, 2004, we issued 1,006,902 shares of our common stock to
Robert Tarini, 301,370 shares of our common stock to Kenneth P. Ducey, Jr. and
705,532 shares of our common stock to Asset Growth Company, an entity wholly
owned and controlled by Kenneth P. Ducey, Jr. in connection with their
employment and consulting agreements. The issuance of these securities was
exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, as a sale not
involving a public offering.

         On October 4, 2004, we issued 1,205,479 shares of our common stock to
Robert Tarini, 301,370 shares of common stock to Kenneth Ducey, Jr. and 904,110
shares of common stock to Asset Growth Company, a company wholly owned and
controlled by Kenneth P. Ducey, Jr. in connection with employment and consulting
agreements. The issuance of these securities was exempt from registration under
Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, as a sale not involving a public offering.

         On May 12, 2004, we entered into five-year employment agreements with
our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of our Board of Directors, Robert
Tarini, and our Chief Financial Officer and Director, Kenneth P. Ducey, Jr. The
agreements provide for salary and bonus compensation, as well as performance
based equity grants. The terms of the agreements are set forth in detail in this
report in the section entitled Compensation of Directors and Executive Officers
under heading "Employment Agreements." We have also executed amendments to these
agreements with each of Mr. Tarini and Mr. Ducey which provided for a higher
initial grant of shares in exchange for the omission of antidilution protection
in the agreements, a concession granted prior to execution of the agreements.

                                       90


         From August to December 7, 2004, Mr. Pereira, who became our Chief
Financial Officer on December 7, 2004, provided consulting services to Markland
in connection with the preparation of financial statements and other related
services. For these services, he received $62,497.

         On December 30, 2004, we entered into new employment and consulting
agreements with Mr. Tarini, our Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Gino Pereira, our
Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Kenneth P. Ducey, Jr., our President, Dr. Joseph P.
Mackin our Chief Operating Officer, and Asset Growth Company, Inc., a company
controlled by Mr. Ken Ducey, our President. The terms of the agreements are set
forth in detail in this report in the section entitled Compensation of Directors
and Executive Officers under heading "New Employment and Consulting Agreements."

                                      2005

         On January 3, 2005, we granted shares of common stock to the following
parties. These shares have not be registered with the SEC and the offer and sale
of these securities was made in reliance on Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.

         On January 5, 2005, we entered into a preferred stock restriction
agreement with James LLC (the sole holder of our Series D preferred stock), to
restrict the sale of shares of our Series D cumulative convertible preferred
stock and shares of our common stock, par value $0.0001 per share issuable upon
conversion of the series D preferred stock. Specifically, subject to the terms
and conditions contained in the agreement, the parties have agreed that the
James LLC will not transfer or dispose of any of the subject securities prior to

         The preferred stock restriction agreement calls for us to enter into a
private equity credit agreement with an investor Brittany Capital Management,
Ltd., for an equity line of credit in the amount of $10,000,000. We are
required, within twenty-one (21) days of the execution of the private equity

TRANSACTIONS WITH JASON GENG

         As a result of our acquisition of Technest and Technest's acquisition
of Genex Technologies, Inc., Jason Geng became the beneficial owner of
approximately 11% of shares of Markland common stock, on a primary basis. In
connection with the Genex Transactions we entered into the following additional
arrangements with Mr. Geng.

         o        The Merger provides for Mr. Geng to receive a six month
                  unsecured promissory note in the principal amount of $550,000
                  that pays interest at the rate of 6% per annum. Jason Geng's
                  share consideration will be adjusted to reflect changes in the
                  closing bid price of Markland common stock in the 10 trading
                  days following February 14, 2005, subject to limitations set
                  forth in the Merger Agreement.

         o        If, following completion of the Genex Transactions, Genex
                  meets specified revenue goals at the end of each of the first
                  three years following February 14, 2005, Technest will pay to
                  Mr. Geng contingent consideration of additional shares of
                  Technest common stock equal to the fair market value of 30% of
                  the difference in Genex's gross revenue during the year
                  proceeding the payment and its gross revenue in 2004.

         o        In the event that the Intraoral Technologies (as such term is
                  defined in the Merger Agreement) owned by Genex prior to
                  February 14, 2005 are commercialized, Jason Geng shall be
                  entitled to fifty percent (50%) of all profits generated from
                  the Intraoral Technologies for a period of five years
                  following February 14, 2005. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
                  any revenue resulting from the Intraoral Technologies shall be
                  excluded from the calculation of the earn out described in the
                  foregoing paragraph.

                                       92


         o        Markland, Technest and MTECH, on one hand, and Jason Geng, on
                  the other hand have agreed to indemnify each other for
                  breaches of representations, warranties and failures to
                  perform covenants. Indemnity is available pursuant to the
                  indemnity escrow agreement for any claim by Markland or
                  Technest above $100,000. Jason Geng's liability is limited to
                  the amount in the indemnity escrow fund, set at closing as $2
                  million of Markland common stock taken from the consideration
                  paid to Jason Geng also on closing.

         o        We entered into a registration Rights Agreement with Jason
                  Geng, the sole stockholder of Genex, on February 14, 2005,
                  pursuant to which we agreed to file a registration statement
                  for the shares of Markland common stock paid to Jason Geng on
                  or before June 1, 2005, plus one day for each day when a
                  registration statement is not effective and available for the
                  resale of common stock issued to the investors in the
                  Investors Securities Purchase Agreement, dated September 21,
                  2004.

         o        Technest and Markland entered into a lock-up agreement with
                  Jason Geng pursuant to which Jason Geng has agreed (a) not to
                  sell or dispose of any of the Markland common stock issued to
                  Jason Geng under the Merger Agreement through July 31, 2005
                  without the prior written consent of Markland, provided that
                  Jason Geng may sell or transfer such shares to Markland,
                  Technest or his immediate family members as a bona fide gift,
                  (b) beginning on August 1, 2005, not to sell more than ten
                  percent (10%) of the aggregate Markland common stock in any
                  given thirty (30) day period, and (c) not to sell more than
                  twenty-five percent (25%) of the aggregate Technest common
                  stock that may be issued to him, in any given thirty (30) day
                  period.

         o        In connection with the Genex Transactions, Genex entered in to
                  an employment agreement with Jason Geng. Under the terms of
                  the agreement, Jason Geng will be employed by Genex for a
                  period of three years as the Executive Vice President and
                  Chief Scientist of Genex. Jason Geng will receive a salary of
                  $300,000 per year and will be eligible to participate in any
                  bonus or incentive compensation plans that may be established
                  by the Board of Directors of Genex, Markland or Technest. The
                  employment agreement provides that Jason Geng's salary
                  payments and health insurance benefits will continue until the
                  earlier of (a) the date that Jason Geng has obtained other
                  full-time engagement or (b) twelve (12) months from the date
                  of termination of the engagement, in the event that Genex
                  terminates his engagement without cause (as defined in the
                  agreement) prior to the termination of the agreement or in the
                  event that Jason Geng terminates his engagement for good
                  reason (as defined in the agreement). The agreement also
                  provides for a continuation, for the lesser of six months or
                  through the end of the term of the agreement, of Jason Geng's
                  salary in the event that he becomes permanently disabled
                  during the term of the agreement.

         o        On February 14, 2005, Robert Tarini, our Chief Executive
                  Officer and Chairman of the Board, was appointed the Chief
                  Executive Officer and a Director of Technest. Technest's only
                  other director is Mark Allen. In addition, Gino M. Pereira,
                  our Chief Financial Officer, was appointed Chief Financial
                  Officer of Technest and Dr. Joseph P. Mackin, our Chief
                  Operating Officer and a Director of Markland, was appointed
                  President of Technest. Each of these individuals may
                  participate in Technest's 1998, 2000 and 2001 stock option
                  plans.


         We believe that all transactions described above were made on terms no
less favorable to it than those obtainable from unaffiliated third parties. All
future transactions, if any, with its executive officers, directors and
affiliates will be on terms no less favorable to it than those that will be
obtainable from unrelated third parties at the time such transactions are made.

SERIES A NON-VOTING REDEEMABLE CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK

         VOTING RIGHTS: Except as otherwise provided under Florida law, the
Series A preferred stock has no voting rights.

         DIVIDENDS: The Series A preferred stock does not accrue dividends.

         CONVERSION: Each share of the Series A preferred stock is convertible
at our option into one-third of one share of our common stock.

         ANTIDILUTION: Upon the occurrence of a stock split or stock dividend,
the conversion rate shall be adjusted so that the conversion rights of the
Series A preferred stock stockholders shall be nearly equivalent as practicable
to the conversion rights of the Series A preferred stock stockholders prior to
such event.

         REDEMPTION: We may redeem all or any portion of the outstanding shares
of the Series A preferred stock upon cash payment of $10.00 per share.

         DISSOLUTION: In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of our affairs, the Series A preferred stock will be
treated as senior only to our common stock. If, upon any winding up of our
affairs, and after the Series D preferred stockholders are paid in full, our
assets available to pay the holders of Series A preferred stock are not
sufficient to permit the payment in full, then our remaining assets will be
distributed to those holders on a pro rata basis.

SERIES D CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK

         VOTING RIGHTS: Except as otherwise provided under Florida law, the
Series D preferred stockholders have no right to vote with the holders of our
common stock. However, our charter requires that the Series D preferred
stockholders approve any amendment to the rights and preferences of the Series D
preferred stock. Where the Series D preferred stockholders do have the right to
vote as a series, whether under our charter or pursuant to Florida law, the
affirmative vote of the holders of at least 67% of the outstanding shares of
Series D preferred stock is necessary to constitute approval.

         DIVIDENDS: The Series D preferred stock does not accrue dividends.

         CONVERSION: The Series D preferred stock is convertible at the option
of the stockholder at any time. The number of shares of our common stock into
which each share of Series D preferred is convertible is determined by dividing
$1,000 by the discounted bid price. The "discounted" bid price is the average
closing bid price of our common stock during the five business days immediately
preceding the conversion date multiplied by the applicable discount factor, as
set forth below.

AVERAGE CLOSING BID PRICE (1)                           DISCOUNT FACTOR
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
$15.00 or less                                                80%
more than $15.00, but less than or equal to $30.00            75%
more than $30.00, but less than or equal to $45.00            70%
more than $45.00                                              65%

- ----------------
(1) After an adjustment for a 1-for-60 reverse stock split effective October 27,
    2003.

         The Series D preferred stock can be converted only to the extent that
the Series D stockholder will not, as a result of the conversion, hold in excess
of 9.999% of the total outstanding shares of our common stock.

         ANTIDILUTION: Upon the occurrence of a transaction that results in a
change of control, or a split off of the company assets, a stock split or a
stock dividend, the price at which the Series D preferred stock is convertible
shall be adjusted so that the conversion rights of the Series D preferred stock
stockholders shall be nearly equivalent as practicable to the conversion rights
of the Series D preferred stock stockholders prior to the transaction.

         REDEMPTION: We have the right to redeem any outstanding shares of our
Series D preferred stock at any time. The redemption price per share is equal to
$1,000 multiplied by 135%. Our Series D preferred stock is convertible, even
after we have provided a notice of redemption, until the Series D stockholder
has received full cash payment for the shares we are redeeming.

         DISSOLUTION: In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of our affairs, the Series D preferred stock will be
treated as senior to all preferred stock and our common stock. If, upon any
winding up of our affairs, our assets available to pay the holders of Series D
preferred stock are not sufficient to permit the payment in full, then all our
assets will be distributed to those holders on a pro rata basis.

                                    WARRANTS

         COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANTS ISSUED IN APRIL 2, 2004, PRIVATE
                                   PLACEMENT.

         In our private placement transaction completed on April 2, 2004, we
issued common stock purchase warrants to purchase an aggregate of 3,333,333
shares of common stock with an exercise price of $1.00 per share to the
investors. In addition, we issued a common stock purchase warrant to purchase
333,333 shares of our common stock with an exercise price of $1.40 per share to
West Hastings Ltd. as a finder's fee.

                                       97


         These warrants have a so-called "most favored nation" provision
pursuant to which the exercise price of the warrants and the terms of the
warrants will automatically be changed if we issue warrants with a lower
exercise price or with terms more favorable to the holder at any time prior to
180 days after the effective date of a registration statement providing for the
resale of shares issuable upon exercise of the warrant. If we issue warrants
with a lower exercise price than the warrants we issued on April 2, 2004 during
this period, the exercise price of the warrants we issued on April 2, 2004 will
be reduced to that new lower price. If we issue warrants with terms more
favorable to the warrant holder than the terms set forth in the warrants we
issued on April 2, 2004, such new more favorable terms will automatically be
incorporated into the April 2 warrants.

         The shares underlying these warrants have been registered in a separate
registration statement filed with the SEC, amended and supplemented from time to
time (File # 333-115395). The holder of a warrant will not possess any rights as
a stockholder until the holder exercises the warrant.

         COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANTS ISSUED IN APRIL 16, 2004, PRIVATE
         PLACEMENT.

         In our private placement transaction completed on April 16, 2004, we
issued common stock purchase warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,500,000
shares of common stock with an exercise price of $1.50 per share to the
investors. In addition, we issued a common stock purchase warrant to purchase
25,000 shares of our common stock with an exercise price of $2.00 per share to
Baker Consulting as a finder's fee.

         These warrants have a "most favored nation" provision pursuant to which
the exercise price of the warrants will automatically be changed (but only to
the extent that such change does not itself cause a change to the warrants we
issued on April 2, 2004, on account of the most favored nation clause contained
in the April 2 warrants), if we issue warrants with a lower exercise price at
any time prior to 180 days after the effective date of a registration statement
providing for the resale of shares issuable upon exercise of the warrant. If we
issue warrants with a lower exercise price than the warrants we issued on April
16, 2004 during this period, the exercise price of the warrants we issued on
April 16, 2004, will be reduced to that new lower price.

         The shares underlying these warrants have been registered in a separate
registration statement filed with the SEC, amended and supplemented from time to
time (File # 333-115395). The holder of a warrant will not possess any rights as
a stockholder until the holder exercises the warrant.

         COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANTS ISSUED IN MAY 3, 2004 PRIVATE PLACEMENT.

         In our private placement transaction completed on May 3, 2004, we
issued redeemable common stock purchase warrants to purchase an aggregate of
7,098,750 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $1.50 per share to
the investors.

         These common stock purchase warrants are redeemable by us, at any time,
after our common stock has a closing bid price of not less than $2.25 per share
for 20 consecutive trading days after such effective date for $0.0001 per share.
These warrants do not have a "most favored nation" provision.

         All the warrants are exercisable for a period of three (3) years. All
of the warrants contain provisions that protect holders against dilution by
adjusting of the exercise price for particular events such as stock dividends
and distributions, stock splits, recapitalizations, mergers, consolidations, and
issuances of common stock below their respective exercise price per share.

         The terms of the common stock purchase warrants provide that the number
of shares to be obtained by each of the holders of the warrants upon exercise of
our common stock purchase warrants cannot exceed the number of shares that, when
combined with all other shares of common stock and securities then owned by each
of them, would result in any one of them owning more than 4.99% (or, in some
cases, 9.99%) of our outstanding common stock at any point in time.

         The shares underlying these warrants have been registered in a separate
registration statement filed with the SEC, amended and supplemented from time to
time (File # 333-115395). The holder of a warrant will not possess any rights as
a stockholder until the holder exercises the warrant.

         WARRANTS ISSUED ON SEPTEMBER 21, 2004 AND NOVEMBER 9, 2004

         On September 21, 2004 and November 9, 2004, we issued warrants
initially exercisable for shares of our common stock at an initial exercise
price of $1.50 per share. Unless otherwise noted, the terms of the November 9,
2004 notes and warrants issued in this private placement are substantially the
same as the terms of the notes and warrants issued on September 21, 2004.

         SEPTEMBER 21, 2004 WARRANTS. We are required to pay to the Initial
Investors $4,000,000 of the outstanding principal and interest by March 15,
2005, and the remaining outstanding balance by September 21, 2005. Because we
have not prepaid the notes on March 15, 2005

         o        the conversion price of the September 21, 2004 notes will be
                  adjusted from its then current level to the lower of (i) $0.80
                  and (ii) a floating rate equal to 80% of average closing price
                  per share of our common stock for the five trading days
                  preceding conversion and

         o        the exercise price of the warrant will be reduced from $1.50
                  to the lesser of (i) $0.792 and (ii) 80% of the average
                  closing price per share of our common stock on the date the
                  adjustment is made.

         NOVEMBER 9, 2004 WARRANTS. We are required to pay a principal amount on
each note equal to the consideration paid by the Additional Investor holding
such note plus any accrued interest by March 15, 2005, and the remaining
outstanding balance by November 9, 2005. Because we have not prepaid the notes,
the conversion price of the November 9, 2004 note and the warrants will be
subject to the adjustment described in connection with the September 21, 2004
private placement.

         o        Adjustments are also required in the event that we issue
                  common stock or common stock equivalents at a price per share
                  below the then effective exercise price of the warrants.

         o        In the event any of the foregoing adjustments are made, the
                  warrants will become exercisable for a number of shares equal
                  to the aggregate exercise price (i.e., the exercise price per
                  share multiplied by the number of underlying shares) prior to
                  the adjustment divided by the adjusted exercise price per
                  share.

         The warrants are exercisable for a period of five years from the date
of issuance.

         All of the warrants contain provisions that protect holders against
dilution by adjusting of the exercise price for particular events such as stock
dividends and distributions, stock splits, recapitalizations, mergers,
consolidations, and issuances of common stock below their respective exercise
price per share.

         The terms of the warrants provide that the number of shares to be
acquired by each of the holders of the warrants upon exercise of these warrants
cannot exceed the number of shares that, when combined with all other shares of
common stock and securities then owned by each holder and its affiliates, would
result in any one of them owning more than 4.999% of our outstanding common
stock at any point in time. By written notice to the Company, the holder of the
warrant may waive this contractual limitation, effective 61 days after delivery
of such notice.

         The terms of the warrants also provide that the number of shares to be
acquired by each of the holders of the warrants upon exercise of these warrants
cannot exceed the number of shares that, when combined with all other shares of
common stock and securities then owned by each holder and its affiliates, would
result in any one of them owning more than 9.99% of our outstanding common stock
at any point in time.

         We have registered in a separate registration statement the resale of
the shares underlying these warrants by the selling stockholders identified in
this prospectus. (SEC File # 333-120390). That registration statement was
declared effective by the SEC on December 2, 2004. The holder of a warrant will
not possess any rights as a stockholder until the holder exercises the warrant.

AGREEMENTS WITH DKR SOUNDSHORE OASIS HOLDING FUND AND DKR SOUNDSHORE STRATEGIC
HOLDING FUND LTD.

         On December 28, 2004, and February 7, 2005, we amended the terms of

and DKR Soundshore Strategic Holding Fund Ltd. for the purchase of up to
6,500,000 shares of our common stock each as follows:

         o        That DKR Soundshore Oasis Holding Fund Ltd. and DKR Soundshore
                  Strategic Holding Fund Ltd. may exercise all or any portion of
                  the warrants for an exercise price of $0.60 per share of the
                  common stock, from December 28, 2004 until February 28, 2005
         o        That DKR Soundshore Oasis Holding Fund Ltd. and DKR Soundshore
                  Strategic Holding Fund Ltd. would exercise a minimum of
                  $600,000 in exercise price of the warrants, as amended, on or
                  before the close of business, New York City time, on December
                  31, 2004, and purchase an aggregate of 5,500,000 shares of our
                  common stock by exercising their warrants, as amended, no
                  later than February 7, 2005.
         o        The number of shares of common stock subject to the warrants
                  would not be adjusted as a result of the temporary reduction
                  in exercise price.
         o        That on March 1, 2005, we would issue to DKR Soundshore Oasis
                  Holding Fund Ltd. and DKR Soundshore Strategic Holding Fund
                  Ltd. warrants to purchase a number of shares of common stock
                  equal to the number of shares purchased pursuant to the
                  amendments at an exercise price of $0.50 per share.
         o        That on March 1, 2005, the amendments will expire and the
                  exercise terms of the warrants existing prior to December 28,
                  2004, will be effective for any warrants remaining
                  unexercised.

         To date these investors have exercised warrants to purchase 5,500,000
shares of common stock.

AGREEMENTS WITH GREENFIELD CAPITAL PARTNERS AND SOUTHRIDGE CAPITAL PARTNERS, LLC

         On December 29, 2004, we amended the terms of the warrants issued (i)
to Greenfield Capital Partners LLC for the purchase of up to 750,000 shares of

                  of 400,000 shares of the warrant, as amended, on or before the
                  close of business, New York City time, on December 31, 2004,
                  and 350,000, on or before the close of business, New York City
                  time, on January 31, 2005.
         o        That Southridge Partners LP will exercise all of the warrant,
                  as amended, on or before the close of business, New York City
                  time, on December 31, 2004.
         o        That the number of shares of common stock subject to the

                  of our common stock.

AGREEMENT WITH DAVID STEFANSKY AND RICHARD ROSENBLUM

         On January 4, 2005, we entered into an agreement to amend the terms of

                  business, New York City time, on January 7, 2005.
         o        That the number of shares of common stock subject to the
                  warrant will not be adjusted as a result of the temporary
                  reduction in exercise price.

         Mr. Stefansky and Mr. Rosenblum have each exercised 375,000 of these
warrants.

AGREEMENT WITH HARBORVIEW MASTER FUND LP

         On January 4, 2005, we entered into an agreement Harborview Master Fund
LP to allow this investor to exercise all of its 1,625,000 shares of our common
stock for an exercise price of $0.60 per share of common stock, from January 4,
2005 until February 28, 2005, after which time the exercise price will return to
its original level. We also agreed

         o        That Harborview Master Fund LP will exercise the warrant to
                  purchase not less than 250,000 share of our common stock on or
                  before the close of business, New York City time, on January
                  7, 2005.
         o        That the number of shares of common stock subject to the
                  warrant will not be adjusted as a result of the temporary
                  reduction in exercise price.

         Harborview Master Fund LP exercised 1,625,000 of these warrants.

COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANTS ISSUED ON DECEMBER 7, 2004

         On December 7, 2004, we issued four million four-hundred-thousand
(4,400,000) warrants in reliance on Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.

         The holders of these warrants may purchase, at any time after the
vesting of the warrants and from time-to-time thereafter, up to four million
four hundred thousand (4,400,000) shares of our common stock, par value $0.0001
per share. The warrants become vested and exercisable according to the following
schedule:

         (i) one million one hundred thousand (1,100,000) warrants vested and
         became exercisable on December 7, 2004;

         (ii) one million one hundred thousand (1,100,000) shares vested and
         become exercisable on January 6, 2005;

         (iii) one million one hundred thousand (1,100,000) shares vested and
         become exercisable on January 21, 2005; and

         (iv) one million one hundred thousand (1,100,000) shares vested and
         become exercisable on February 5, 2005.

         Any unexercised warrants shall expire on November 30, 2007. To date
none of these warrants have been exercised. Adjustments to the exercise price of
the warrants must be made in the event that we pay a dividend in common stock or
securities convertible into common stock, or if we subdivide, split or combine
our shares of outstanding common stock. In the event that any of the foregoing
occur, then the number of shares issuable pursuant to the warrants shall be
adjusted so that the holder may thereafter receive the number of shares of
common stock it would have owned immediately following such action if it had
exercised the warrants immediately prior to the transaction. The exercise price
of the warrants shall be adjusted to reflect the proportionate increase or
decrease in the number of shares.

                                      101


         The warrants provide for cashless exercise at the option of the holder.
Under the cashless exercise provision, the warrant holder may, in lieu of cash
payment for the aggregate exercise price of the warrants being exercised,
exchange additional warrants such that the aggregate spread (i.e., the
difference between the exercise price of the warrant and the market price of our
common stock on the date of exercise) of such shares equals the aggregate
exercise price of the shares to be purchased.

         For example, if the warrant holder wishes to exercise 10 warrants at an
aggregate exercise price of $6.00, and market price for our common stock is $.80
per share at the time of exercise, the warrant holder may exchange an additional
30 warrants to cover the $6.00 aggregate exercise price (i.e., 30 * $.20 =
$6.00). The result would be a total exercise of 400 shares, of which the warrant
holder would receive 100.

         The shares underlying the warrants issued to Michael Rosenblum are
being registered in this registration statement.

         The holder of a warrant will not possess any rights as a stockholder
until the holder exercises the warrant. To date none of these warrants has been
exercised.

COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANTS ISSUED ON JANUARY 7, 2005

         On January 7, 2005, as consideration for entering into a Lock-Up
Agreement in regards to their holdings of our series D convertible preferred
stock, we issued warrants to James LLC to purchase one million eighty-eight
thousand one hundred sixty (1,088,160) shares of our common stock at an exercise
price of $0.60 per share. The warrant grants the holder piggy-back registration
rights. These warrants were issued in reliance on Section 4(2) of the Securities
Act. The holder of these warrants will not possess any rights as a stockholder
until the holder exercises their warrants.

         The terms of the warrant provides that the number of shares to be
acquired by each of the holder of the warrant upon exercise of this warrant
cannot exceed the number of shares that, when combined with all other shares of
common stock and securities then owned by each holder and its affiliates, would
result in any one of them owning more than 4.999% of our outstanding common
stock at any point in time.

         This warrant contains provisions that protect the holder against
dilution by adjusting of the exercise price for particular events such as stock
dividends and distributions, stock splits, recapitalizations, mergers,
consolidations and similar transactions and events. The shares underlying this
warrant are being registered in this registration statement.

WARRANTS ISSUED TO FINDERS IN OUR SEPTEMBER 21, 2004 AND NOVEMBER 9, 2004
PRIVATE PLACEMENTS

         In our private placement transactions completed on September 21, 2004
and November 9, 2004, we issued common stock purchase warrants to purchase an
aggregate of 1,837,500 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $1.50
per share as compensation to various finders. The holder of a warrant will not
possess any rights as a stockholder until the holder exercises the warrant. Only
the shares underlying the warrants issued on September 21, 2004 to finders have
been registered in this registration statement.

         The warrants contain provisions that protect holders against dilution
by adjusting of the exercise price for particular events such as stock dividends
and distributions, stock splits, recapitalizations, mergers, consolidations, and
issuances of common stock below their respective exercise price per share.

         The warrants are exercisable for a period of five years from the date
of issuance.

         We have registered the resale of the shares underlying the warrants

                                      102


WARRANTS ISSUED ON FEBRUARY 7, 2005

         On February 7, 2005 we issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of
2,943,750 shares of our common stock. The warrants may be exercise at the option
of the holder, at any time and from time to time, through February 7, 2010, and
have an exercise price equal to $0.60 per share.

         The warrants contain provisions protecting the holders against dilution
by adjusting the exercise price of the warrants and the number of shares to be
issued upon occurrence of events such as stock dividends, distributions, stock
splits, recapitalizations, mergers, consolidations and similar transactions.

          The terms of the warrants provide that the number of shares to be
acquired by each of the holders of the warrants upon exercise of these warrants
cannot exceed the number of shares that, when combined with all other shares of
common stock and securities then owned by each holder and its affiliates, would
result in any one of them owning more than 4.999% of our outstanding common
stock at any point in time. The holder of the warrant may waive this contractual
limitation, effective 61 days after delivery of a notice waiving this
limitation.

         If the 4.99% limitation is waived, the number of shares to be acquired
by each of the holders of the warrants upon exercise of these warrants cannot
exceed the number of shares that, when combined with all other shares of common
stock and securities then owned by each holder and its affiliates, would result
in any one of them owning more than 9.99% of our outstanding common stock at any
point in time. The holder may not waive this limitation.

         The shares underlying these warrants have been registered in this
registration statement.

MARCH 10, 2005 WARRANTS

         On March 10 , 2005, we issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of
5,500,000 shares of our common stock. These warrants may be exercised by the
holder, at any time and from time to time, through March 10, 2010, and have an
exercise price equal to $0.50 per share.

         The warrants contain provisions protecting the holders against dilution
by adjusting the exercise price of the warrants and the number of shares to be
issued upon occurrence of events such as stock dividends, distributions, stock
splits, recapitalizations, mergers, consolidations and issuances of common stock
below their respective exercise price.

         Specifically, if we pay a dividend in common stock or securities
convertible into common stock or if we subdivide, split or combine our shares of
outstanding common stock, the number of shares issuable shall be adjusted so
that the holder may thereafter receive the number of shares of common stock it
would have owned immediately following such action if it had exercised the
warrants immediately prior to the transaction. And the exercise price on the
warrant shall be adjusted to reflect the proportionate increase or decrease in
the number of shares.

         If, within 180 days from March 10, 2005, we issue common stock or
common stock equivalents at a price per share below (i) the then effective price
per share or (ii) the exercise price of the warrants, the exercise price will be
reduced to that lower price per share.

         The terms of the warrants provide that the number of shares to be
acquired by each of the holders of the warrants upon exercise of these warrants
cannot exceed the number of shares that, when combined with all other shares of
common stock and securities then owned by each holder and its affiliates, would
result in any one of them owning more than 4.999% of our outstanding common
stock at any point in time. The holder of the warrant may waive this contractual
limitation, effective 61 days after delivery of a notice waiving this
restriction.

         If the 4.99% limitation is waived, the number of shares to be acquired
by each of the holders of the warrants upon exercise of these warrants cannot
exceed the number of shares that, when combined with all other shares of common
stock and securities then owned by each holder and its affiliates, would result
in any one of them owning more than 9.99% of our outstanding common stock at any
point in time. The holder may not waive this limitation.

         The shares underlying these warrants are included in this registration
statement.

                                      NOTES

CONVERTIBLE NOTES ISSUED ON SEPTEMBER 21, 2004 AND NOVEMBER 9, 2004

         On September 21, 2004 and November 9, 2004, we issued convertible
promissory notes with a one-year maturity in aggregate principal amounts of
$5,200,000 and $1,755,000 respectively.

         These notes accrue interest at an annual rate of 8%. All accrued
interest will become immediately payable on March 15, 2005, after which time
interest will be payable on a monthly basis, in arrears.

         At any time, and at the option of the holder of the note, the
outstanding principal and accrued interest of the notes may be converted into
shares of our common stock at an initial conversion price per share of $0.80.

         We have not prepaid the notes.  As a result, the conversion price
will be adjusted from $0.80 per share to the lower of (i) $0.80 and (ii) a
floating rate equal to 80% of average closing price per share of our common
stock for the five trading days preceding conversion:

         o        Under the terms of these notes issued on September 21, 2004 we
                  are required to pay to the Initial Investors $4,000,000 of the
                  outstanding principal and interest by March 15, 2005, and the
                  remaining outstanding balance by September 21, 2005.

         o        Under the terms of the notes issued on November 9, 2004, we
                  are required to pay each Additional Investor a principal
                  amount on each note equal to the consideration paid by the
                  Additional Investor holding such note plus any accrued
                  interest by March 15, 2005, and the remaining outstanding
                  balance by November 9, 2005.

         We have registered in a separate registration statement the resale by
the selling stockholders identified in that registration statement of the shares
underlying these notes. (SEC File # 33-120390). That registration statement was
declared effective by the SEC on December 2, 2004.

         The holder of a note will not possess any rights as a stockholder until
the holder convert the notes into shares of our common stock.

              FLORIDA LAW AND CERTAIN CHARTER AND BYLAW PROVISIONS

         Provisions of Florida law, our charter and bylaws could make it more
difficult to acquire us by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest, open
market purchases and otherwise. These provisions, which are summarized below,
are expected to discourage types of coercive takeover practices and inadequate
takeover bids and to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to first
negotiate with us. We believe that the benefits of increased protection of our
potential ability to negotiate with the proponent of an unfriendly or
unsolicited proposal to acquire or restructure us outweigh the disadvantages of
discouraging takeover or acquisition proposals because negotiation of these
proposals could result in an improvement of their terms.

         AUTHORIZED BUT UNISSUED STOCK. We have shares of common stock and
preferred stock available for future issuance, in some cases, without
stockholder approval. We may issue these additional shares for a variety of
corporate purposes, including public offerings to raise additional capital,
corporate acquisitions, stock dividends on our capital stock or equity
compensation plans.

         The existence of unissued and unreserved common stock and preferred
stock may enable our board of directors to issue shares to persons friendly to
current management or to issue preferred stock with terms that could render more
difficult or discourage a third-party attempt to obtain control of us, thereby
protecting the continuity of our management. In addition, if we issue preferred
stock, the issuance could adversely affect the voting power of holders of common
stock and the likelihood that such holders will receive dividend payments and
payments upon liquidation.

         SPECIAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS. Our bylaws provide that special
meetings may be called only by our board of directors or by holders of not less
than 10% of all the votes entitled to be cast on any issue proposed to be
considered at the proposed special meeting. This provision may make it more
difficult for stockholders to take action opposed by our board of directors.

                                      104


         AMENDMENT TO OUR BYLAWS. Section 607.1004 of the Florida Business
Corporation Act provides that preferred stockholders have the right to vote as a
class on amendments to our charter that would negatively impact their rights or
preferences as preferred stockholders of such class. Our charter, however,
provides that our board of directors has the exclusive authority to alter, amend
or repeal them. This provision of our charter may also make it more difficult
for stockholders to take action opposed by our board of directors.

         THE ISSUANCE OF PREFERRED STOCK MAY ENTRENCH MANAGEMENT OR DISCOURAGE A
CHANGE OF CONTROL. Our Articles of Incorporation authorize the issuance of
preferred stock that would have designations rights, and preferences determined
from time to time by our Board of Directors. Accordingly, our Board of Directors
is empowered, without stockholder approval, to issue preferred stock with
dividends, liquidation, conversion, voting, or other rights that could adversely
affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of our common stock.

         In the event of issuance, the preferred stock could be used, under some
circumstances, as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in
control of the company or, alternatively, granting the holders of preferred
stock such rights as to entrench management. Current members of our management
that are large stockholders and members of our Board may have interests that are
different form other stockholders. Therefore, conflicting interests of some
members of management and our stockholders may lead to stockholders desiring to
replace these individuals. In the event this occurs and the holders of our
common stock desired to remove current management, it is possible that our Board
of Directors could issue preferred stock and grant the holders thereof such
rights and preferences so as to discourage or frustrate attempts by the common
stockholders to remove current management. In doing so, management would be able
to severely limit the rights of common stockholders to elect the Board of
Directors. In addition, by issuing preferred stock, management could prevent
other shareholders from receiving a premium price for their shares as part of a
tender offer.

         TRANSFER AGENT. The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock
is Florida Atlantic Stock Transfer, Inc.

                              PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

         The selling stockholders and any of their pledgees, donees,
transferees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell
any or all of their shares of common stock on any stock exchange, market or
trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions.
These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. The selling stockholders may
use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:

         o        ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the
                  broker-dealer solicits Investors;

         o        block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell
                  the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of
                  the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

         o        purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the
                  broker-dealer for its account;

         o        an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the
                  applicable exchange;

         o        privately negotiated transactions;

         o        to cover short sales made after the date that this
                  Registration Statement is declared effective by the
                  Commission;

         o        broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholders to sell
                  a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per
                  share;

         o        a combination of any such methods of sale; and

         o        any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

                                      105


         The selling stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the
Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.

         Broker-dealers engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for
other brokers-dealers to participate in sales.

         Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling
Stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of
shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated. The Selling
Stockholders do not expect these commissions and discounts to exceed what is
customary in the types of transactions involved.

         The selling stockholders may from time to time pledge or grant a
security interest in some or all of the Shares owned by them and, if they
default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured
parties may offer and sell shares of common stock from time to time under this
prospectus, or under an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or
other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending the list of selling
stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest
as selling stockholders under this prospectus.

         Upon Maryland being notified in writing by a selling stockholder that
any material arrangement has been entered into with a broker-dealer for the sale
of common stock through a block trade, special offering, exchange distribution
or secondary distribution or a purchase by a broker or dealer, a supplement to
this prospectus will be filed, if required, pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the
Securities Act, disclosing

                  (i) the name of each such selling stockholder and of the
          participating broker-dealer(s),

                  (ii) the number of shares involved,

                  (iii) the price at which such the shares of common stock were
          sold,

                  (iv) the commissions paid or discounts or concessions allowed
          to such broker-dealer(s), where applicable,

                  (v) that such broker-dealer(s) did not conduct any
          investigation to verify the information set out or incorporated by
          reference in this prospectus, and

                  (vi) other facts material to the transaction.

         In addition, upon the Maryland being notified in writing by a selling
stockholder that a donee or pledge intends to sell more than 500 shares of
common stock, a supplement to this prospectus will be filed if then required in
accordance with applicable securities law.

         The selling stockholders also may transfer the shares of common stock
in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other
successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of
this prospectus. The selling stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that
are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the
meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any
commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the
resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting
commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Discounts, concessions,
commissions and similar selling expenses, if any, that can be attributed to the
sale of Securities will be paid by the Selling Stockholder and/or the
purchasers.

         Each selling stockholder who is an affiliate of a broker-dealer has
represented and warranted to the Company that he acquired the securities subject
to this registration statement in the ordinary course of such Selling
Stockholder's business and, at the time of his purchase of such securities such
Selling Stockholder had no agreements or understandings, directly or indirectly,
with any person to distribute any such securities. As such, they are not
underwriters within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act. The
Company has advised each Selling Stockholder that it may not use shares
registered on this Registration Statement to cover short sales of common stock
made prior to the date on which this Registration Statement shall have been
declared effective by the Commission.

                                      106


         The selling stockholders have acknowledged that they understand their
obligations to comply with these provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules
thereunder and have agreed that they will not engage in any transaction in
violation of such provisions.

         If a selling stockholder uses this prospectus for any sale of the
common stock, it will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the
Securities Act. The Selling Stockholders will be responsible to comply with the
applicable provisions of the Securities Act and Exchange Act, and the rules and
regulations thereunder promulgated, including, without limitation, Regulation M,
as applicable to such Selling Stockholders in connection with resales of their
respective shares under this Registration Statement.

         The selling stockholders have acknowledged that they understand their
obligations to comply with the provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules
thereunder relating to stock manipulation, particularly Regulation M, and have
agreed that they will not engage in any transaction in violation of such
provisions.

         We are required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the
registration of the shares, but we will not receive any proceeds from the sale
of the common stock. We have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders
against some losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities
under the Securities Act.

            REPORTS OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors
Markland Technologies, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Ridgefield, Connecticut

We have audited the consolidated balance sheet of Markland Technologies and
subsidiaries as of June 30, 2004, and the related consolidated statements of
loss, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the year then ended. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provided a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Markland
Technologies, Inc. and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2004 and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying consolidate financial statements have been prepared assuming
that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the
consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses
from operations and its current liabilities exceed its current assets. The
Company has limited finances and may require additional funding in order to
market and license its products. There are no assurances that the Company can
reverse its operating losses or that it can raise additional capital to allow it
to continue its planned operations. This raises substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard
to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not
include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

             REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Board of Directors and Stockholders
Markland Technologies, Inc. and Subsidiaries

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of operations,
stockholders' (deficiency) equity, and cash flows of Markland Technologies, Inc.
and Subsidiaries ("the Company") for the year ended June 30, 2003. These
consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated
financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements of Markland Technologies,
Inc. and Subsidiaries referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects, the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year
ended June 30, 2003, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming
that the Company will continue as a going concern. As shown in the consolidated
financial statements, the Company incurred a net loss of approximately
$2,837,000 during the year ended June 30, 2003. As of June 30, 2003, the Company
also had a working capital deficiency of approximately $1,235,000. These
conditions raised substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are described in

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS

BUSINESS HISTORY AND OPERATIONS

Markland Technologies, Inc. ("Markland"), previously known as Quest Net
Corporation, was incorporated in Colorado in November 1995, under the name "A.P.
Sales Inc." In December 1998, A.P. Sales Inc. dissolved as a Colorado
corporation, redomiciled in Florida and changed its name to Quest Net
Corporation.

In March 2000, Markland acquired CWTel, Inc. ("CWTel"), a Florida-based
telecommunication corporation. In November 2001, CWTel filed a voluntary
bankruptcy petition in the State of Florida. In March 2002, a final decree was
issued, the trustee discharged and the case closed.

On March 15, 2001, Markland acquired all of the outstanding stock of Vidikron of
America, Inc. ("Vidikron"). As a result of this acquisition, the sole
stockholder of Vidikron, Market LLC, controlled a majority of the common stock
of Markland and, accordingly, the transaction was accounted for as a reverse
acquisition and as a recapitalization of Vidikron, pursuant to which Vidikron
was treated as the accounting acquirer. Accordingly the historical financial
statements are those of Vidikron. Vidikron became a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Markland. Subsequently, Quest Net changed its name to Markland Technologies,
Inc. and Vidikron adopted the year-end of Quest Net.

On May 28, 2002, Markland received a notice of default from Market LLC relating
to a loan and security agreement and a related secured convertible revolving
credit note due to Markland's failure to make payments of principal and interest
due under the note. In addition, as a result of the defaults under the note,
Market LLC declared all outstanding principal and interest under the note,
totaling $4,213,300, to be immediately due and payable. In June of 2002, all of
the shares of the Vidikron subsidiary, including all of its operating assets and
liabilities, were transferred to Market LLC in partial satisfaction of the
indebtedness due Market LLC of $50,000. As a result, Markland had no active
business following such event. The assets and liabilities and operating results
of Vidikron have been treated as a discontinued operation in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements (see Note 11).

On November 21, 2002, Security Technology, Inc. ("STI") was incorporated as a
Delaware C corporation and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Markland.

In December 2002, Markland, Eurotech Ltd. ("Eurotech"), ipPartners, Inc.
("ipPartners"), a related party, Market LLC and James LLC, entered into an
exchange agreement ("Exchange Agreement"). On December 19, 2002, the
transactions contemplated by the Exchange Agreement were consummated. Pursuant
to the Exchange Agreement, Eurotech transferred to Markland certain rights to
Eurotech's Acoustic Core technology, relating to illicit materials detection,
and certain cryptology technology. Market LLC and James LLC, the holders of 100%
of the issued and outstanding common stock of Markland, exchanged 4,498,638
shares of Markland's common stock (90% of their total holdings) and certain
convertible notes owed by Markland in exchange for $5,225,000 in stated value of
Series C 5% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock. Markland issued 3,998,789
shares of common stock, representing approximately eighty percent (80%) of its
outstanding common stock, to Eurotech, and 499,849 shares of common stock,
representing approximately ten percent (10%) of its outstanding common stock, to
ipPartners. As a result of this transaction, a change of control occurred and
Markland became an 80%-owned subsidiary of Eurotech.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                       YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 2004 AND 2003

In January 2003, Markland purchased the common stock of Ergo Systems, Inc.
("Ergo"). In September 2003, Markland purchased certain technology from ASI
Technology Corporation ("ASI"). In October 2003, Markland purchased the common
stock of Science and Technology Research Corporation, Inc. ("STR").

We acquired from ASI gas plasma antenna technology assets and a sub-license for
plasma sterilization and decontamination. The assets at time of purchase
included three ongoing funded SBIR government contracts and nine issued and
pending U.S. patents related to gas plasma antenna technology with demonstrated
applications in the fields of ballistic missile defense, phased array radar, and
forward deployed decontamination.

STR provides a full range of electrical and mechanical engineering support as
well as fabrication and assembly of electrical and mechanical systems. STR is a
producer of the United States Navy's Shipboard Automatic Chemical Agent
Detection and Alarm System (ACADA). The Navy deploys the "man-portable" point
detection system to detect all classic nerve and blister agents as well as other
chemical warfare agent (CWA) vapors.

Markland acquired 100% of E-OIR Technologies, Inc.'s ("EOIR") outstanding common
stock in conjunction with a Stock Purchase Agreement dated June 29, 2004. EOIR
provides research and engineering services to Defense and Intelligence Community
customers. EOIR's technical services include design and fabrication of sensor
systems for military and intelligence community applications. These efforts
involve systems, engineering, system integration, prototyping, field collections
as well as data analysis and processing. Substantially all of EOIR's revenues
are derived from approximately twenty Government contracts with ten different

U.S. Government agencies.

These transactions are in support of Markland's objective to provide end-to-end
solutions to the Department of Homeland Security ("DHS") and Department of
Defense ("DOD"). Markland's principal end customer is the United States
Government. Markland operates in one principal business segment of providing
primarily Government Agencies with products to protect the United States'
borders, military personnel and infrastructure assets. All of the Markland's
operating units have similar products and services, production processes,
customers and regulatory environment. During 2004, sales of remote sensing
products, border security products and services and SBIR funded research grants
comprised 80%, 16% and 4% of our revenue, respectively. During 2003, revenue was
comprised of sales of border security products and services and SBIR funded
research grants of 67% and 33%, respectively. The Company's revenues from the
acquisition of EOIR will be derived from the sales of remote sensor system
products and services.

Markland is subject to risks common to companies in the Homeland Defense
Technology industry, including, but not limited to, development by its
competitors of new technological innovations, dependence on key personnel,
protection of proprietary technology and loss of significant customers. Since
the United States Government represents substantially all of Markland's current
revenue, the loss of this customer would have a material adverse effect on
Markland's future operations.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America, which contemplate continuation of Markland as a going concern. Markland
has incurred net losses of $10,511,213 and $2,836,881 for the years ended June

Subsequent to June 30, 2004, Markland issued secured convertible promissory
notes and warrants to purchase shares of common stock and received net proceeds
of approximately $4,000,000 (see Note 16). There is no assurance that Markland
can reverse its operating losses, or that it can raise additional capital to
allow it to continue its planned operations. These factors raise substantial
doubt about Markland's ability to continue as a going concern.

Markland's ability to continue as a going concern remains dependent upon the
ability to obtain additional financing or through the generation of positive
cash flows from continuing operations. These financial statements do not include
any adjustments relating to the recoverability of recorded asset amounts that
might be necessary as a result of the above uncertainty. While Markland has
experienced operating losses in the past, due to the acquisition of EOIR,
management believes the operating portion of the business will be cash flow
positive in fiscal 2005. Management's business plan is to continue to grow the
customer base and revenues and to control and monitor operating expenses and
capital expenditures. In addition, subsequent to year end, Markland consummated
a financing through which we realized net cash of approximately $4,000,000.
Management believes that the business as currently constituted will produce
positive cash flow which, together with the current cash levels, will enable
Markland to meet existing financial obligations as they come due during the
current fiscal year. However, management can provide no assurance that the
performance of the business will meet these expectations.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation
- ---------------------------

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Markland and its
wholly-owned subsidiaries, Security Technology, Inc. ("STI"), Ergo Systems, Inc.
("Ergo"), Science and Technology Research Corporation, Inc. ("STR") and E-OIR
Technologies, Inc. ("EOIR"). All significant inter-company balances and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates in Preparation of Financial Statements
- -------------------------------------------------------

The preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates that are
particularly susceptible to change are the determination of the fair value of
assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations, impairment of
identified intangible assets, goodwill and long lived assets, the fair value of
equity instruments issued, valuation reserves on deferred tax assets and revenue
and costs recognized on long-term, fixed-price contracts.

Concentrations
- --------------

Markland has cash balances in banks in excess of the maximum amount insured by
the FDIC as of June 30, 2004.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                       YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 2004 AND 2003

Substantially all revenue is generated from contracts with Federal government
agencies. Consequently, substantially all accounts receivable are due from
Federal government agencies either directly or through other government
contractors.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
- -------------------------

Cash equivalents include interest-bearing deposits with original maturities of
three months or less.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
- -------------------------------

The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects management's best estimate of
probable losses inherent in the accounts receivable balance. Management
determines the allowance based on known trouble accounts, historical experience
and other currently available evidence. Markland's receivables are from
government contracts. Markland has not experienced any losses in accounts
receivable and has provided no allowance at June 30, 2004 or 2003.

Property and Equipment
- ----------------------

Property and equipment are valued at cost and are being depreciated over their
useful lives using the straight-line method for financial reporting. Routine
maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Expenditures which
materially increase the value or extend useful lives are capitalized.

Property and equipment are depreciated using straight-line methods over the
estimated useful lives of assets as follows:

         Computers and equipment                  3 years
         Furniture and fixtures                 5-7 years
         Vehicles                                 5 years
         Software                                 3 years

Property and equipment consisted of the following at June 30, 2004:

         Software                           $      63,830
         Computer equipment                       512,236
         Vehicles                                 405,258
         Furniture and fixtures                   106,639
                                            --------------
                                            $   1,087,963
         Less accumulated depreciation            (11,306)
                                            --------------

                                            $   1,076,657
                                            ==============

Depreciation expense for the years ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 was $11,306 and
$0, respectively.

Income Taxes
- ------------

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax
consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement
carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax
bases, and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable

                                      F-18









                  MARKLAND TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                       YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 2004 AND 2003

income in the years in which these temporary differences are expected to be
recovered or settled. A deferred tax asset is recorded for net operating loss
and tax credit carry forwards to the extent that their realization is more
likely than not. The deferred tax benefit or expense for the period represents
the change in the deferred tax asset or liability from the beginning to the end
of the period.

Revenue Recognition
- -------------------

We recognize revenue when the following criteria are met: (1) we have persuasive
evidence of an arrangement, such as contracts, purchase orders or written
requests; (2) we have completed delivery and no significant obligations remain,
(3) our price to our customer is fixed or determinable, and (4) collection is
probable. We recognize revenues at the time we perform services related to
border security logistic support. With respect to our revenues from our chemical
detectors, we recognize revenue under the units-of-delivery method. At the time
the units are shipped to the United States Navy, the Company recognizes as
revenues the contract price of each unit and recognizes the applicable cost of
each unit shipped. As of June 30, 2004, the Company had completed delivery of
all outstanding orders under the contract.

Unearned Revenue
- ----------------

Unearned revenue represents cash collection in excess of revenue earned from
fixed price contracts.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
- -----------------------------------

The financial statements include various estimated fair value information at
June 30, 2004, as required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments." Financial
instruments are initially recorded at historical cost. If subsequent
circumstances indicate that a decline in the fair value of a financial asset is
other than temporary, the financial asset is written down to its fair value.

Unless otherwise indicated, the fair values of financial instruments approximate
their carrying amounts. By their nature, all financial instruments involve risk,
including credit risk for non-performance by counterparties. The maximum
potential loss may exceed any amounts recognized in the consolidated balance
sheets.

The fair value of cash, accounts receivable, bank line of credit and long-term
debt approximate their recorded amounts because of their relative market and
settlement terms. The fair value of the notes payable issued to the former
owners of EOIR (see Note 3) have been recorded at their fair value, as
determined by an independent valuation, which is less than the face value due to
a below market interest rate.

Advertising Costs
- -----------------

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. For the years ended June 30, 2004
and 2003, advertising and promotion expenses were approximately $19,504 and
$-0-, respectively.

Shipping Costs
- --------------

Delivery and shipping costs are included in cost of revenue in the accompanying
consolidated statements of loss.

                                      F-19

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                       YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 2004 AND 2003

Research and Development
- ------------------------

Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred. Markland
capitalizes costs related to acquired technologies that have achieved
technological feasibility and have alternative uses. Acquired technologies which
do not meet this criteria are expensed as research and development costs.

Reverse Stock Split/Loss Per Share
- ----------------------------------

Share amounts and per share data have been restated to reflect a 1 for 60
reverse stock split effective as of October 27, 2003.

Basic and diluted net loss per common share has been computed based on the
weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the periods
presented.

Common stock equivalents, consisting of Series A and D Convertible preferred
stock, options and warrants were not included in the calculation of the diluted
loss per share because their inclusion would have had the effect of decreasing
the loss per share otherwise computed.

Impairment of Intangible Assets
- -------------------------------

The Company records as goodwill the excess of purchase price over the fair value
of the identifiable net assets acquired. Statements of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS ) No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets", prescribes a
two-step process for impairment testing of goodwill, which is performed
annually, as well as when an event triggering impairment may have occurred. The
first step tests for impairment, while the second step, if necessary, measures
the impairment. The Company has elected to perform its annual analysis during
the fourth quarter of each fiscal year. No indicators of impairment were
identified in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
- -------------------------------

Pursuant to SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of
Long-lived Assets", Markland continually monitors events and changes in
circumstances that could indicate carrying amounts of long-lived assets may not
be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized when expected cash flows are
less than the asset's carrying value. Accordingly, when indicators or impairment
are present, Markland evaluates the carrying value of such assets in relation to
the operating performance and future undiscounted cash flows of the underlying
assets. Markland's policy is to record an impairment loss when it is determined
that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. No impairment
charges were recorded in the years ended June 30, 2004 and 2003.

Stock-Based Compensation
- ------------------------

At June 30, 2004, as permitted under SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation - Transition and Disclosure", which amended SFAS No. 123,
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", Markland has elected to continue to
follow the intrinsic value method in accounting for its stock-based employee
compensation arrangements as defined by Accounting Principles Board Opinion
("APB") No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees", and related
interpretation including Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")
Interpretation No. 44, "Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock
Compensation", an interpretation of APB No. 25. Since the only options issued by
the Company were issued in conjunction with a business combination on June 29,
2004, had the Company recorded compensation costs related to these options based
on fair value at the grant date consistent with SFAS No. 123, there would have
been no effect on the Company's net loss in any period presented.

Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards
- ----------------------------------------------

In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial
Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity." This statement
establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain
financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It
requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within its scope
as a liability. Many of those instruments were previously classified as equity.
SFAS No. 150 is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified
after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first
interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The adoption of this statement did
not have any impact on our financial position or results of operations.

                       YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 2004 AND 2003

In December 2003, the FASB issues FASB Interpretation No. 46R ("FIN 46R"),
"Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities". FIN 46R expands upon existing
accounting guidance that addresses when a company should include in its
financial statements the assets, liabilities and activities of another entity. A
variable interest entity is a corporation, partnership, trust or any other legal
structure used for business purposes that either (a) does not have equity
investors with voting rights or (b) has equity investors that do not provide
sufficient financial resources for the entity to support its activities. FIN 46R
requires a variable interest entity to be consolidated by a company if that
company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss from the variable interest
entity's activities or is entitled to receive a majority of the entity's
residual returns or both. The adoption of this interpretation did not have any
impact on our financial position or results of operations.

3.       ACQUISITIONS

Acoustic Core(TM) Technology
- ----------------------------

On December 9, 2002, in connection with the Exchange Agreement dated as of
December 9, 2002, by and among Eurotech, the Company, Crypto.com, Inc.,
("Crypto" - a wholly-owned subsidiary of Eurotech), Secured Technology, Inc.
("STI"), ipPartners, Inc., Market LLC and James LLC (the "Exchange"), Eurotech
and Crypto agreed to license and transfer certain intellectual property to a
newly-formed subsidiary of the Company, STI, in exchange for 3,998,789 shares of
the Company's newly issued common stock (the "Exchange Shares"). The Exchange
Shares constituted 80% of the Company's outstanding common stock making the
Company a majority-owned subsidiary of Eurotech. In addition, as part of the
agreement, ipPartners was issued 499,849 shares of common stock in exchange for
their forgiveness and discharge of certain obligations owed to ipPartners with
respect to the property transferred to STI. Eurotech is a development-stage,
Washington, D.C.-based, technology company, whose common stock is registered
under the Exchange Act. Prior to the Exchange, Market LLC and James LLC
controlled the Company.

In connection with the Exchange, on December 9, 2002, the Company, Market LLC
and James LLC agreed to a recapitalization of the Company, whereby $5,225,000 in
stated value of a new series of preferred stock, designated Series C 5%
Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series C Preferred Stock") was
issued by the Company, in exchange for $5,225,000 of convertible promissory
notes, inclusive of accrued interest, as well as, for the agreement by James LLC

and Market LLC to collectively surrender 4,498,638 shares of the Company's
common stock prior to the consummation of the above Exchange agreement between
the Company and Eurotech, among others.

The rights licensed from Eurotech in the Exchange consist of certain proprietary
technology known as Acoustic Core used to detect illicit substances, and certain
cryptology technology held by Eurotech's subsidiary, Crypto. Since Eurotech
owned 80% of the common stock of the Company on December 9, 2002, the technology
acquired from Eurotech was recorded by the Company at Eurotech's carrying value
of $1,300,000. Eurotech had purchased the rights to such technologies in 2001.
The Company's technical employees and advisors concluded that as of December
2002, the Company has established technological feasibility for its ultimate
security product to be marketed. Additional development services and testing are
necessary to complete the product development. The Company will begin to
amortize this asset over the economic useful life of five years when the
technology is available for general release to its customers. The Company is
engaged in a project with the U.S. Air Force to evaluate the Acoustic Core(TM)
technology for use in the inspection of cargo. The technology utilizes acoustic
waves to detect illicit materials and density changes. In addition, the Company
is in the process of adapting such technology for use in the detection of
concealed weapons on persons that cannot be detected by traditional metallic
screeners.

Purchase of Intangible Assets of ASI Technology Corporation
- -----------------------------------------------------------

On March 19, 2003, Markland and ASI Technology Corporation, a Nevada
corporation, ("ASI") closed its Technology Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement").
Under the Agreement, ASI agreed to sell and Markland agreed to purchase certain
assets relating to ASI's gas plasma antenna technology, including patents,
patent applications, equipment, government contract rights and other
intellectual property rights. Under an interim arrangement, Markland had
received revenues from these contracts billed for periods after April 1, 2003
and was obligated for all related costs. Markland had agreed to use its best
efforts to manage and administer the contracts during this period prior to
closing and to pay ASI a fee of $2,500 per month for administrative support.
These fees amounted to $15,000. The closing of this transaction occurred on
September 30, 2003.

The purchase price of the ASI assets amounted to $1,000,000. This consisted of
$150,000 in cash, of which $65,000 was paid by June 30, 2003 and $85,000 was
paid by December 31, 2003 and 283,333 shares of common stock valued at $850,000.
These assets are being amortized over 3 years.

In connection with the Agreement, ASI and Markland entered into a registration
rights agreement entitling ASI to include its shares of Markland's common stock
in future registration statements filed by Markland under the Securities Act of
1933 in connection with public offerings of Markland's common stock. In the
event that Markland fails to register such stock on behalf of ASI, or if a
registration statement for the shares is delayed, Markland will have to issue an
additional $150,000 worth of common stock to ASI.

Also in connection with the Agreement, ASI and Markland entered into a
sublicense agreement pursuant to which ASI has sublicensed to Markland the right
to develop and sell products to certain government, military and homeland
security customers in the United States and Canada using Markland's plasma
sterilization and decontamination technology. Markland has agreed to pay ASI
$5,000 per month for these rights for a period of 24 months, of which $5,000 has
been paid to ASI under this agreement and $35,000 is included in selling,
general and administrative expenses for the year ended June 30, 2004.

                       YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 2004 AND 2003

During March of 2004, Markland issued 42,500 shares of common stock valued at
$66,725 to ASI as a penalty for not having an effective registration statement
for the shares issued to ASI. This amount was charged to selling, general and
administrative expense in the statement of loss for the year ended June 30,
2004.

Purchase of Science and Technology Research, Inc.
- -------------------------------------------------

In October 2003, Markland completed the acquisition of 100% of the common stock
of Science and Technology Research, Inc., a Maryland corporation ("STR"), by its
subsidiary, Security Technology, Inc., a Delaware Corporation ("STI"), through a
merger of STI with newly formed STR Acquisition Corporation, a Maryland
Corporation. STR is a producer of the U.S. Navy's Shipboard Automatic Chemical
Agent Detection and Alarm System (ACADA). The Navy deploys the "man-portable"
point detection system to detect all classic nerve and blister agents as well as
other chemical warfare agent (CWA) vapors.

The purchase price for the STR aggregated $6,475,000 and consisted of $900,000
in cash, which was paid in October 2003, 1,539,779 shares of common stock valued
at $5,100,000, a promissory note of $375,000 and acquisition costs of $100,000.
The promissory note bears no interest and, under amended terms, is due in full
on October 15, 2004. Holders of the shares of common stock were granted
piggy-back registration rights. The promissory note is collateralized by all of
the assets of STR and 40% of the common stock of STR held by Markland. In June
2004, the Company made the first principal payment in the amount of $75,000. The
remaining promissory note, as amended, is payable as follows:

                   July 15, 2004                    $ 75,000
                   August 15, 2004                    75,000
                   September 15, 2004                 75,000
                   October 15, 2004                   75,000
                                                    ---------
                                                    $300,000
                                                    =========

On March 15, 2004, Markland agreed to pay $40,000 of cash and issue an
additional 50,000 shares of common stock valued at $66,500 in exchange for his
agreement to extend the due date of the promissory note to October 15, 2004.
These amounts were charged to interest expense in the statement of loss for the
year ended June 30, 2004.

A summary of the allocation, as determined by an independent valuation, of the
aggregate consideration for the acquisition to the fair value of the assets
acquired and liabilities assumed is as follows:

Fair value of net assets acquired:
   Fair value of assets acquired -
       Current assets, including cash of $115,830                   $   783,657

Markland also entered into a consulting agreement with the principal shareholder
and employee of STR (see Note 12).

Markland funded the cash portion of the acquisition from a loan provided by Bay
View Capital, LLC, ("Bay View"). Robert Tarini, Markland's Chairman is
affiliated with Bay View. The entire amount of the loan provided by Bay View was
$1,400,000 (see Note 6).

The results of operations of STR have been included in Markland's consolidated
statements of operations commencing October 1, 2003.

Purchase of E-OIR Technologies, Inc.
- ------------------------------------

On June 29, 2004, Markland acquired all of the outstanding stock of E-OIR
Technologies, Inc. ("EOIR") for $8,000,000 in cash and $11,000,000 in principal
amount of five year notes secured by the assets and stock of EOIR. EOIR is a
provider of technology and services to the US Army Night Vision Laboratories and
has expertise in wide area remote sensing using both electro-optic and infrared
technologies. The acquisition was consummated in furtherance of Markland's
stated strategy of making synergistic acquisitions in order to provide products
and services to Homeland Defense, the Department of Defense and U.S.
Intelligence Agencies.

The goodwill in this transaction, as determined by the independent valuation,
arose as a result of anticipated synergies, cost savings and other items not
related to tangible net assets or identifiable intangible assets.

As a result of the transaction being structured as a stock acquisition, Markland
does not expect the goodwill to be deductible for tax purposes.

In connection with the EOIR acquisition, Markland also raised gross proceeds of
$2,000,000 through a private placement of an additional 3,500 shares of its
Series D Preferred Stock to a single institutional investor (see Note 8).

Between March 31, 2004 and June 30, 2004 Markland completed three private
placements, issuing a total of 13,232,083 shares of common stock plus additional
warrants for total proceeds of $9,679,000 ($8,226,845 net of issuance costs).
Cash raised in these financings were used, in part, to fund the acquisition of
EOIR.

On December 9, 2002, as part of the Company's recapitalization, in accordance
with the Exchange Agreement entered between the Company and Market LLC,
$3,812,000 representing principal and accrued interest under this line of credit
was converted into 3,812 shares of the Company's newly issued Series C 5%
Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (see Note 8).

On December 10, 2002, Markland entered into a Restated and Amended Secured
Convertible Revolving Credit Note Agreement for $500,000.

Interest under this note accrued at the interest rate of 6% per annum.

The note was convertible at any time, in whole or in part, into shares of the
Company's common stock. The total number of shares of common stock issuable upon
conversion will be determined by dividing the principal amount of this note
being converted by 80% of the closing bid price of the common stock based on the
average of the five trading days immediately preceding the date of conversion.
The value of the beneficial conversion feature of $125,000 was being amortized
as interest expense over the term of the debt.

The principal on the note and accrued interest totaling $518,459 was converted
into 404,266 shares of Markland's common stock on April 12, 2004. All
unamortized discount related to the beneficial conversion feature was charged to
interest expense at that time. Amortization of the beneficial conversion feature
for the years ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 was $60,126 and $41,666,
respectively.

Bank Line of Credit
- -------------------

EOIR established a $500,000 line of credit with Virginia Community Bank in
October 1999. It is secured by current accounts receivable with variable
interest at the prime lending rate (4% at June 30, 2004) plus 1%. The line of
credit was extended in 2004, increased to $600,000 and expires in April, 2005.
The balance due under this credit line was $600,000 as of June 30, 2004.

7. NEW EQUITY LINE

On September 10, 2003, Markland entered into a Private Equity Credit Agreement
with Brittany Capital Management, Ltd. ("Brittany"). Markland agreed to issue
and sell to Brittany up to $10,000,000 worth of its common stock over the next
three years. Prior to any sales, Markland is required to file a registration
statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission, relating to the shares to
be issued, and to have such registration statement declared effective.

After the registration statement is declared effective, Markland would be able
to put shares to Brittany according to the terms outlined in the agreement (the
"Put"). The minimum Put amount is $1,000,000 over the life of the agreement and
$25,000 per Put. Failure to satisfy the minimum Put requirement over the life of
the Private Equity Credit Agreement will result in a charge to Markland.

Shares will be issued to Brittany, in connection with each Put, at 92% of the
average of the closing bid prices for the lowest three (3) (not necessarily
consecutive) trading days during the ten (10) trading day period immediately
following the Put date. Under certain conditions, Markland will be required to
issue additional shares and/or accrue financial penalties.

There can be no assurances that Markland will receive any proceeds from this
agreement. As of June 30, 2004, Markland has not drawn down on this equity line.

As of June 30, 2004, no shares have been registered by Markland related to this
agreement. For all periods presented, Markland has determined that the fair
value of this Put was not material.

         Series D Convertible Preferred Stock
         ------------------------------------

Shares of the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock have a liquidation preference
of $1,000 per share, are non-voting, do not accrue dividends, are redeemable by
Markland anytime and are convertible into shares of Markland's common stock at a
conversion price ranging from 65% to 80% of the common stock's market price at
the time of the conversion.

The Series D preferred stock is convertible at the option of the stockholder at
any time. The number of shares of our common stock into which each share of
Series D preferred is convertible is determined by dividing $1,000 by the
discounted bid price. The "discounted" bid price is the average closing bid
price of our common stock during the five business days immediately preceding
the conversion date multiplied by the applicable discount factor, as set forth
below.

         ----------------------
         (1) After an adjustment for a 1-for-60 reverse stock split effective
October 27, 2003.

The Series D preferred stock can be converted only to the extent that the Series
D stockholder will not, as a result of the conversion, hold in excess of 9.999%
of the total outstanding shares of our common stock.

On June 17, 2003, the Company issued to Eurotech 16,000 shares of Series D
Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock in exchange for 1,666,666 shares of the
Company's common stock. The Company also sold an additional 430 shares of Series
D Preferred Stock to James LLC for net proceeds of $430,000.

During the year ended June 30, 2004, Markland sold to a third party 7,166 shares
of Series D Preferred Stock for gross proceeds of $5,402,000.

Markland has determined that as of the date of issuance there was a beneficial
conversion feature in the aggregate amount of $3,555,500 and $4,107,500 for the
years ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The accretion of these
beneficial conversion features on the Series D Preferred Stock has been recorded
as a deemed dividend. The deemed dividends increases the loss applicable to
common shareholders in the calculation of basic and diluted net loss per common
share.

Reverse Stock Split
- -------------------

On September 4, 2003, Markland's board of directors approved a resolution to
effect a one-for-sixty reverse stock split. This action was subsequently
approved by shareholder action which was approved by written consent of the
Markland shareholders who held at least a majority of the voting power of the
common stock, at least 67% of the voting power of the Series C Cumulative
Convertible Preferred Stock, and at least 67% of the voting power of the Series
D Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock. As a result, each sixty shares of
common stock was converted automatically into one share of common stock. To
avoid the issuance of fractional shares of common stock, each fractional share

                                      F-31

resulting from the reverse split was rounded up to a whole share. The reverse
stock split did not reduce the 500,000,000 shares of common stock that Markland
is authorized to issue. The resolution, which impacts shareholders of record as
of September 5, 2003 became effective on October 27, 2003. All share amounts and
per share data have been restated to reflect this reverse stock split.

The Company is also obligated to issue certain shares under employment and
consulting agreements (see Note 12).

9.       OPTIONS AND WARRANTS

In conjunction with the Company's acquisition of EOIR (see Note 3), the Company
adopted the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan ("the Plan"). The Plan authorizes the
Company to issue up to 25,000,000 of common shares in the form of options, stock
awards, performance share awards or stock appreciation rights.

On June 29, 2004, the Company issued options to eleven former minority owners of
EOIR who have continued employment with the Company. These options have a ten
year term and vest ratably over a five year period. Ten of these employees
received options to purchase 9,345,737 shares of common stock at a price of
$.3775. On the date of grant, the intrinsic value of these options, $3,528,016,
was recorded as unearned stock-based compensation and additional paid in
capital. This intrinsic value will be amortized to stock compensation over the
five year vesting period.

One employee received five options, each of which allows for the purchase of a
number of shares equal to .11799575 times a fraction of $1,600,000 divided by
the fair value of the stock on the vesting date. One of these options vests each
year for the next five years. The exercise price of these options will be
one-half the fair value of the stock on the vesting date. The intrinsic value of
these options based on the fair value of the stock on June 30, 2004 is $471,983.
This intrinsic value has been recorded as unearned stock-based compensation and
additional paid in capital. Due to the variable nature of the exercise price and
number of shares to be issued under these options, the intrinsic value will be
remeasured each period until the terms are fixed. The intrinsic value of each
option will be amortized over the vesting periods. As of September 30, 2004, the
maximum number of shares issuable under these options is 1,210,213.

Markland has also agreed to grant options to purchase an additional 5,000,000
shares of common stock to employees of EOIR in the future. Markland expects that
these options will vest over five years after the date of grant and will have an
exercise price equal to the fair market value of the common stock on the date of

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                       YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 2004 AND 2003

SFAS No. 123 requires the measurement of the fair value of stock options, to be
included in the statement of loss or disclosed in the notes to financial
statements (see Note 2). The Company has determined that it will continue to
account for stock-based compensation for employees under Accounting Principles
Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and has elected
the disclosure-only alternative under SFAS Nos. 123 and 148 using the
Black-Scholes option pricing model prescribed by SFAS No. 123. The assumptions
used and weighted average information for the year ended June 30, 2004 is as
follows:

          Risk-free interest rate                           3.05%
          Expected dividend yield                           -
          Expected lives                                    3 years
          Expected volatility                               149.4%
          Weighted average fair value per share
            of options granted                              $0.71

In connection with private placements of common stock in April and May 2004, the
Company issued warrants to purchase a total of 14,703,549 shares of common stock
at exercise prices between $1.00 and $1.50. Included in these are warrants to
purchase 13,765,416 shares of common stock issued to investors in the private
placement. The value of these warrants was recorded as additional paid in
capital. The Company has estimated the fair value of these warrants on the grant
date as $19,391,359. The remaining warrants to purchase a total of 938,133
shares of common stock were issued as finders' fees. Since these warrants are
considered stock issuance costs, there is no net impact on equity. The Company
has estimated the fair value of these warrants on the grant date as $1,116,945.

At June 30, 2004, the Company had the following outstanding warrants:

11.      DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

The Company has treated the disposition of CWTel in March 2002 and Vidikron in
May 2002 as discontinued operations. The following information summarizes the
operating results of the discontinued operations included in the consolidated
financial statements:


                                                                 Year Ended         Year Ended

                                                                =============      =============
                 Income from discontinued operations            $         --       $    998,713

The income from discontinued operations for the year ended June 30, 2003 of
$998,713 is a result of management of the Company completing an analysis of
various obligations related to the discontinued operations. Management
determined that $297,404 of liabilities related to the discontinued operations
were either three years old (past the statute of limitations) or represented an
overestimate of an accrual. In addition, a real estate lease obligation, which
had been recorded in previous years at $706,309, was settled for $5,000.

During the year ended June 30, 2003, the Company converted a $300,000 promissory
note related to the discontinued operations into 30,000 shares of Series A
redeemable convertible preferred stock (see Note 8).

As of June 30, 2004 and 2003, there were no assets or liabilities remaining from
discontinued operations.

12.      COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Compensation Agreements
- -----------------------

Effective January 2003, Markland entered into a one-year compensation agreement
with the former chief executive officer and three three-year agreements with an
officer, the president and chief financial officer, and two consultants to
Markland, Robert Tarini and Verdi Consulting, which provided for aggregate
remuneration of $47,500 per month. During the year ended June 30, 2004, Markland
accrued $600,000 of bonus compensation under these agreements.

One of these agreements provided for the issuance of 1.67% of Markland's
outstanding common stock in three installments, 50% of the shares were issued on
or about March 21, 2003, 25% of the shares on or about July 1, 2003 and 25% of
the shares on or about October 1, 2003. A final issuance occurred as of December
31, 2003, so that the total amount of shares issued up to December 31, 2003 will
equal 1.67% of the outstanding common stock as of December 31, 2003.

In addition, these three agreements, provide in total for the issuance of 5.01%
of the Company's outstanding common stock in four installments on a fully
diluted basis based upon certain performance criteria being met. Upon contract
signing, the Company issued a number of shares of Common Stock then equivalent
to 0.5% of the total number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding,
inclusive of such Employee's/Consultant's Shares; on or about July 1, 2003,
Company will issue to these Employee/Consultants a number of shares of Common
Stock then equivalent to 0.5% of the total number of shares of Common Stock then
outstanding, inclusive of such Employee's/Consultant's Shares if the Second
Quarter gross revenue target has been met; and on or about October 1, 2003
Company will issue to these Employee/Consultants a number of shares of Common
Stock then equivalent to 0.67% of the total number of shares of Common Stock
then outstanding, inclusive of such Employee's/Consultant's Shares, minus the
aggregate number of Shares issued to these parties in the first two installments
if the Third Quarter gross revenue target has been met. If necessary, an
additional issuance will occur in January 2004, so that the total amount of
shares issued will equal 5.01% of the outstanding common stock calculated on a
fully-diluted basis assuming the conversion of all convertible securities as of
December 31, 2003.

All of the shares issuable under these four agreements were earned as of January
1, 2004. Accordingly, a total of 1,410,719 shares were issued, of which 119,360
were issued during the year ended June 30, 2003 and 1,291,359 were issued during
the year ended June 30, 2004.

On May 12, 2004, Markland entered into five-year compensation agreements with
two executives, the chairman and chief executive officer and the president and
chief financial officer, and a consultant, Verdi Consulting. These agreements,
which are effective on January 1, 2004, provide for the following remuneration:

         Base annual remuneration of $300,000 each (an aggregate of $900,000)
         payable over the five-year period ending January 2, 2009;

         Discretionary bonuses over the term of the agreement of up to 300% of
         the base remuneration; and

                  MARKLAND TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                       YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 2004 AND 2003

         Conditional stock grants over the period commencing April 1, 2004
         through January 2, 2008, based on defined performance criteria. The
         stock grants, if all earned, entitle each of the three parties to
         receive up to 7.5% of Markland's common stock on a fully diluted basis.
         These grants are earned according to the following schedule:

                        Grant 1        2.5%      April 1, 2004
                        Grant 2        1.0%      July 1, 2004
                        Grant 3        1.0%      October 1, 2004
                        Grant 4        1.0%      January 2, 2005
                        Grant 5        1.0%      January 2, 2006
                        Grant 6        0.5%      January 2, 2007
                        Grant 7        0.5%      January 2, 2008

       The number of shares of common stock to be granted on each grant date is
       equal to the product of (a) the number of fully diluted shares
       outstanding at the grant date and (b) the stock percentage associated
       with that grant date.

       In the event of a change in control of Markland during the period covered
       by the agreement, each executive/consultant will automatically be granted
       all remaining stock grants and will be due cash and expense compensation
       for the shorter of (i) three years from the date of the change in
       control, or (ii) until the end of the term of the agreement. A change in
       control is defined by the agreements as a change in the majority
       ownership of the equity of Markland, or the resignation or termination of
       the majority of the board of directors within a two month period, or the
       replacement of the CEO or the President of Markland.

In June 2004, these agreements were modified to remove the anti-dilution
provision. During the year ended June 30, 2004, a total of 4,575,744 shares of
common stock were issued under these new agreements.

In connection with the STR acquisition, Markland entered into a one year
consulting agreement, as amended on March 17, 2004, with the former President
and principal of STR ("Consultant"). In consideration for the consulting
services to be rendered by Consultant, Markland shall pay to Consultant the sum
of $285,000 (the "fee"). The fee shall be payable as follows: $25,000 is payable
on July 15, 2004, a second payment in the amount of $35,000, is payable on
August 15, 2004, a third payment in the amount of $60,000 is payable on
September 15, 2004, a fourth payment in the amount of $60,000 is payable on
October 15, 2004, a fifth payment in the amount of $60,000 is payable on
November 15, 2004 and the sixth and final payment in the amount of $45,000 is
payable on December 15, 2004. For the year ended June 30, 2004, Markland charged
to operations $225,000 related to this agreement. At June 30, 2004, there is
$225,000 included in Accrued Expenses related to this agreement.

Facility Rental
- ---------------

STR leases its location in Fredericksburg, VA, on a month-to-month basis without
a formal agreement. Rent expense relating to this location for year ended June
30, 2004 was $70,066.

We have a three year lease for our executive offices of approximately 1,000
square feet located in Ridgefield, Connecticut and a month-to-month lease for a
manufacturing facility of approximately 5,000 square feet located in
Fredericksburg, Virginia. We also have an administrative office in Providence,

                       YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 2004 AND 2003

EOIR, our wholly owned subsidiary, holds a four-year lease for its executive and
administrative offices of approximately 5,420 square feet in Woodbridge,
Virginia. The lease, which has an option to renew for an additional three-year
term, expires on September 30, 2005. EOIR also leases approximately 5,000 square
feet in Spotsylvania, Virginia, where it houses its software development unit.
This lease is currently on a month-to-month basis.

We also have several offices located in Fredericksburg, VA. One office with
approximately 4,722 sq ft., with a 1 year lease, one with 1,200 sq ft. with a 5
year lease, one with 10,000 sq ft., with a 5 year lease, and one with 4,200 sq
ft., with a five year lease. Monthly lease amounts for these facilities total
approximately $31,000.

Income Taxes
- ------------

The Company is currently delinquent on its corporate federal and state income
tax filings. The Company expects that its net operating loss carryforwards will
be sufficient to offset any taxable income. As a result, no provision for income
taxes or any related penalties or interest has been recorded for the years ended
June 30, 2004 and 2003.

Government Contracts
- --------------------

The Company's billings related to certain U.S. Government contracts are based on
provisional general & administrative and overhead rates which are subject to
audit by the contracting government agency. The Company has limited experience
with these audits.

13.      INCOME TAXES

There was no provision for federal or state income taxes for the fiscal year's
ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, due to the Company's operating losses and a full
valuation reserve.

The Company's deferred tax asset before valuation allowance is approximately
$6,600,000 and consist primarily at June 30, 2004 of the net operating loss
carry forwards. The change in the valuation allowance for the year ended June
30, 2004 was approximately $3,200,000. When filed, the Company's net operating
loss carry forwards of approximately $19,000,000 will expire in varying amounts
through 2024. The use of the federal net operating loss carry forwards may be
limited in future years as a result of ownership changes in the Company's common
stock, as defined by section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. The Company has
not completed an analysis of these changes.

The Company has provided a full valuation reserve against the deferred tax asset
because of the Company's loss history and significant uncertainty surrounding
the Company's ability to utilize its net operating loss and tax credit
carryforward.

14.      RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

During January 2003, we completed our acquisition of Ergo Systems, Inc. from
Ocean Data Equipment Corporation, now called Syqwest, Inc. Robert Tarini, our
chief executive officer, is also the chief executive officer of Syqwest, Inc.
Ergo's main asset is an annually renewable U.S. Government General Services
Administration contract to provide logistic support and product development for
five U.S. ports of entry. In exchange for Ergo we agreed to pay Syqwest $400,000
in cash, due in installments that are triggered with the completion of research
milestones. Syquest also performs software and engineering services related to
our border security business. During the year ended June 30, 2004, $1,244,327
was paid to Syquest for these services and there was a payable due to Syquest of
$40,607 at the year end.

On July 24, 2003, we entered into an agreement with Syqwest, Inc., in which we
issued 750,000 shares of our common stock in exchange for the forgiveness of
$450,000 for unpaid services performed by Syqwest in connection with research
conducted in relation to our vehicle stopping technology. We have the right at
any time by written notice to repurchase these shares from Syqwest at a price
equal to $0.60 per share.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                       YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 2004 AND 2003

In September 30, 2003 we acquired one hundred percent (100%) of the outstanding
stock of Science and Technology Research, Inc., which produces our U.S. Navy
shipboard automatic chemical agent detection and alarm system product. We paid
the stockholder of Science and Technology Research a total of $6,475,000
consisting of $900,000 in cash, common stock valued at $5,100,000, a promissory
note of $375,000, and acquisition costs of $100,000. To finance this acquisition
we executed a two year, twelve percent (12%), secured Promissory Note with Bay
View Capital, LLC for $1,400,000. Bay View Capital, LLC is controlled by Robert
Tarini, our chief executive officer, and Chad Verdi, a consultant to Markland.
The outstanding balance and accrued interest of this note were repaid in full on
April, 2004.

ipPartners and Asset Growth Company are consulting firms owned by Robert Tarini
and Ken Ducey Jr., our president, respectively. Payments to these companies
during the year ended June 30, 2004 amounted to $17,500 and $170,000 and were in
accordance with their respective consulting contracts with the Company.

The Company believes that all transactions described above were made on terms no
less favorable to it than those obtainable from unaffiliated third parties. All
future transactions, if any, with its executive officers, directors and
affiliates will be on terms no less favorable to it than those that will be
obtainable from unrelated third parties at the time such transactions are made.

15.      LITIGATION

On June 28, 2004, Charles Wainer filed a civil suit against the Company in
Florida state court alleging breach of a stock purchase agreement and breach of
an employment agreement stemming from Wainer's sale of his business to a
predecessor of the Company and his subsequent employment thereat. In the
complaint, Wainer alleges Markland owes him $300,000 cash, some unspecified
portion of $700,000 in stock, some unspecified portion of $86,000 cash for lease
payments, and approximately $20,000 in back-pay. The Company believes that these
claims are without merit and plans to vigorously defend the action. On August
11, 2004, answered the complaint and denied any liability.

In addition, we are subject to legal proceedings, claims, and litigation arising
in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome of these matters is
currently not determinable, we do not expect that the ultimate costs to resolve
these matters will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial
position, results of operations, or cash flows.

16.      SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Litigation
- ----------

On or about September 16, 2004, Joseph R. Moulton, Sr. initiated a lawsuit in
the Circuit Court of Spotsylvania County, Virginia, against the Company, EOIR,
our wholly owned subsidiary, and our Chief Executive Officer and Director,
Robert Tarini. Mr. Moulton was the largest single shareholder of EOIR prior to
its acquisition by the Company, owning approximately 67% of the EOIR capital
stock. Mr. Moulton received approximately $5,863,000 in cash and a promissory
note of EOIR in the approximate principal amount of $6,967,000 for his shares of
EOIR at the closing of the acquisition of EOIR by the Company. In his complaint
Mr. Moulton asserts, among other things, that the Company breached its
obligations under the Stock Purchase Agreement, dated June 29, 2004, pursuant to
which the Company acquired EOIR, by terminating Mr. Moulton's employment with
EOIR and removing him from the EOIR board of directors. Mr. Moulton is seeking
damages allegedly suffered by his loss of employment, extreme emotional
distress, and costs incurred to enforce his contractual rights. In addition, he
is seeking certain other equitable relief including, the appointment of a
receiver to oversee the management of EOIR until these promissory notes issued
to former EOIR shareholders at the closing of the acquisition are paid in full
and a declaratory judgment that the Company's actions constitute an event of
default under these promissory notes allowing for the acceleration of all
amounts (approximately $11,000,000) due thereunder. The Company is a guarantor
of these notes. The Company believes that the allegations in this lawsuit are
entirely without merit and expects to file an answer denying Mr. Moulton's
allegations and opposing vigorously all equitable relief sought. The Company is
considering bringing various claims against Mr. Moulton either by counterclaim
or in a separate action.

Convertible Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement
- -----------------------------------------------

On September 21, 2004, Markland Technologies, Inc. (the "Company" or "we")
entered into a Purchase Agreement with DKR Soundshore Oasis Holding Fund, Ltd.
and DKR Soundshore Strategic Holding Fund, Ltd. (together the "Investors")
pursuant to which we sold warrants to purchase shares of common stock (the
"Warrants") and secured convertible promissory notes (the "Convertibles Notes")
for the aggregate consideration of $4,000,000. The Convertible Notes are
initially convertible into $5,200,000 of common stock at a price of $0.80 per
share, subject to certain adjustments as defined in the agreement.

The Purchase Agreement contains standard representations, covenants and events
of default. Occurrence of an event of default allows the Investors to accelerate
the payment of the Convertible Notes and/or exercise other legal remedies,
including foreclosing on collateral.

The Warrants entitle the Investors to purchase an aggregate of 5,200,000 shares
of our common stock, at any time and from time to time, through September 21,
2009. The Convertible Notes are in the aggregate principal amount of five
million two hundred thousand dollars ($5,200,000) and accrue interest daily at
the rate of eight percent (8%) per year on the then outstanding and unconverted
principal balance of the Convertible Notes. Under the terms of the Convertible
Notes, we are required to pay $4,000,000 of the outstanding principal and
interest by March 15, 2005, and the remaining outstanding balance by September
21, 2005. At anytime, and at the option of the Investors, the outstanding
principal and accrued interest of the Convertible Notes may be converted into
shares of our common stock.

We have granted a security interest in and a lien on substantially all of our
assets to the Investors pursuant to the terms of a Security Agreement, dated
September 21, 2004.

As part of this financing, James LLC, the largest holder of our Series D
Preferred Stock, agreed not to sell any of its holdings of Series D Preferred
Stock until the earlier to occur of: (1) notice from the us and the investors
that the transactions contemplated had been completed had been terminated, or
(2) March 15, 2005. However, pursuant to the terms of the lock-up agreement,
James LLC may still convert their Series D shares and sell the underlying
shares of common stock in accordance with Rule 144 of the Securities Act of
1933, as amended. In exchange, Markland agreed that under certain conditions, if
they did not redeem the Series D stock by January 15, 2005, they would issue to
James LLC a warrant to purchase 1,088,160 shares of our common stock at $.80 per
share.

Subject to conditions set forth in the agreement, the Company may require the
Investor to purchase $1,000,000 of Additional Notes on the Additional Closing
Date. The Company shall indicate its intent to sell the Additional Notes by
delivery to the Investor of a written notice which may be delivered between
March 15, 2005 and March 30, 2005, provided, that the Company may only deliver
such written notice if, on the date of such delivery and on the closing date of
such transaction, it is in compliance in all material respects with the terms
and conditions of the Transaction Documents, no Event of Default shall exist
under the Initial Notes, there is an effective Registration Statement covering
the Underlying Shares and the Warrant Shares and the Company's Common Stock
shall have a closing sales price on its Trading Market of at least $0.40 per
share for the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days immediately preceding the
delivery of the written notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with the consent
of the Investor, the Company may extend the period by which it may offer the
Additional Notes to the Investor. The Company may only exercise the right to
elect to require the purchase of Additional Notes on a single occasion, and
there may not be more than a single Additional Closing. If the Company shall
have timely delivered such notice, then subject to the satisfaction of the
conditions set forth in the agreement, on the Additional Closing Date, the
Company shall issue to the Investor the Additional Notes and Second Warrants for
an aggregate purchase price equal to one million dollars ($1,000,000). At the
Additional Closing, the Company will deliver to the Purchaser: (1) the
Additional Notes, in exactly the same form as the Initial Notes, except that the
maturity date shall be one year from the Additional Closing Date, registered in
the name of the Investor, in the aggregate principal amount of $1,300,000 (as
indicated in the Company's notice to elect the sale and issuance of the
Additional Notes), (2) the Second Warrants (equal to 100% of the number of
shares into which the Additional Notes may be converted) and (3) a bring-down of
the legal opinion of Company Counsel delivered on the Closing Date, addressed to
the Investor.

Subsequent stock issuances
- --------------------------

During the period ending June 30, 2004, and October 12, 2004, various holders of
the Company's Series D Convertible Preferred converted their shares into shares
of common stock. The total shares issued under such conversions is approximately
14,568,926. Based on employment agreements, on July 1, and October 1, 2004,
executives and consultants of the company were issued 6,637,145 shares of common
stock.

The company issued 160,000 shares to other consultants under existing contacts
which represented the final issuance under their contract. Based on an
employment agreement, the company issued 30,000 shares to an employee on August
26th. Based on a consulting agreement, on September 9, 2004, 248,418 shares were
issued to a consultant as part of their agreement to help the company with
Mergers and Acquisitions.

Based on a release of rights with regard to adjustments on future financings, on
September 22, 2004, 833,333 shares were issued to investors that participated in
the company's earlier financing.

                  MARKLAND TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
            NOTES TO CONDENSED AND CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

               For the Six Months Ended December 31, 2004 and 2003
                                   (Unaudited)

1.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of
Markland Technologies, Inc. and Subsidiaries ("Markland" or the "Company") have
been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America for interim financial information, without being
audited, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered
necessary to make the financial statements not misleading have been included.
Operating results for the six months ended December 31, 2004 are not necessarily
indicative of the result that may be expected for the year ending June 30, 2005.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in
the Company's 10-KSB, as amended, for the year ended June 30, 2004 filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America, which contemplate continuation of Markland as a going concern. Markland
has incurred net losses of $9,253,213 and $1,739,145 for the six months ended
December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Markland has limited finances and may
require additional funding in order to market and license its products. During
the six months ended December 31, 2004, Markland issued secured convertible
promissory notes with a face value of $6,955,000 which, if not converted, are
repayable between September and November 2005 (see Note 6). There is no
assurance that Markland can reverse its operating losses, or that it can raise
additional capital to allow it to continue its planned operations. These factors
raise substantial doubt about Markland's ability to continue as a going concern.

Markland's ability to continue as a going concern remains dependent upon the
ability to obtain additional financing or through the generation of positive
cash flows from continuing operations. These financial statements do not include
any adjustments relating to the recoverability of recorded asset amounts that
might be necessary as a result of the above uncertainty. While Markland has
experienced operating losses in the past, due to the acquisition of EOIR,
management believes the operating portion of the business will be cash flow
positive in fiscal 2005. Management's business plan is to continue to grow the
customer base and revenues and to control and monitor operating expenses and
capital expenditures. Management believes that the business as currently
constituted will produce positive operating cash flow which, together with the
current cash levels, will enable Markland to meet existing financial obligations
as they come due during the current fiscal year. However, management can provide
no assurance that the performance of the business will meet these expectations.

Markland is subject to risks common to companies in the Homeland Defense
Technology industry, including, but not limited to, development by its
competitors of new technological innovations, dependence on key personnel,
protection of proprietary technology and loss of significant customers. Since
the United States Government represents substantially all of Markland's current
revenue, the loss of this customer would have a material adverse effect on
Markland's future operations.

2.       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation
- ---------------------------

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Markland and its
wholly-owned subsidiaries, Security Technology, Inc. ("STI"), Ergo Systems, Inc.
("Ergo"), Science and Technology Research Corporation, Inc. ("STR") and E-OIR
Technologies, Inc. ("EOIR"). All significant inter-company balances and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.


                                      F-52









Use of Estimates in Preparation of Financial Statements
- -------------------------------------------------------

The preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates that are
particularly susceptible to change are the determination of the fair value of
assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations, impairment of
identified intangible assets, goodwill and long lived assets, the fair value of
equity instruments issued, valuation reserves on deferred tax assets and revenue
and costs recognized on long-term, fixed-price contracts.


Concentrations
- --------------

Markland has cash balances in banks in excess of the maximum amount insured by
the FDIC as of December 31, 2004.

Substantially all revenue is generated from contracts with Federal government
agencies. Consequently, substantially all accounts receivable are due from
Federal government agencies either directly or through other government
contractors.


Property and Equipment
- ----------------------

Property and equipment are valued at cost and are being depreciated over their
useful lives using the straight-line method for financial reporting. Routine
maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Expenditures which
materially increase the value or extend useful lives are capitalized.

Property and equipment are depreciated using straight-line methods over the
estimated useful lives of assets as follows:

                 Software                                3 years
                 Computer equipment                      3 years
                 Vehicles                                5 years
                 Leasehold improvements                  Shorter of useful
                                                           life and lease term
                 Furniture and fixtures                  5-7 years

Property and equipment consisted of the following at December 31, 2004:

                 Software                                $      93,993
                 Computer equipment                            561,928
                 Vehicles                                       55,268
                 Leasehold improvements                        245,150
                 Furniture and fixtures                        146,542
                                                         --------------
                                                         $   1,102,881
                 Less accumulated depreciation                (151,551)
                                                         --------------
                                                         $     951,330
                                                         ==============

Depreciation and amortization expense for the six months ended December 31, 2004
and 2003 was $154,973 and $2,255, respectively.


                                      F-53









Revenue Recognition
- -------------------

We recognize revenue when the following criteria are met: (1) we have persuasive
evidence of an arrangement, such as contracts, purchase orders or written
requests; (2) we have completed delivery and no significant obligations remain,
(3) our price to our customer is fixed or determinable, and (4) collection is
probable. We recognize revenues at the time we perform services related to
border security logistic support. With respect to our revenues from our chemical
detectors, we recognize revenue under the units-of-delivery method. At the time
the units are shipped to the United States Navy, the Company recognizes as
revenues the contract price of each unit and recognizes the applicable cost of
each unit shipped. As of June 30, 2004, the Company had completed delivery of
all outstanding orders under the contract for chemical detector units.

Revenues from time and materials contracts are recognized as costs are incurred.

Revenues from firm fixed price contracts are recognized on the
percentage-of-completion method, either measured based on the proportion of
costs recorded to date on the contract to total estimated contract costs or
measured based on the proportion of labor hours expended to date on the contract
to total estimated contract labor hours, as specified in the contract.

Provisions for estimated losses on all contracts are made in the period in which
such losses become known. Changes in job performance, job conditions, and
estimated profitability, including those arising from contract penalty
provisions, and final contract settlements may result in revision to cost and
income and are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined.

The Company participates in teaming agreements where they are the primary
contractor and they participate with other organizations to provide services to
the Federal government. The Company has managerial and oversight responsibility
for team members as well as the responsibility for the ultimate acceptability of
performance under the contract. The Company includes as revenues the amounts
that they bill under the teaming arrangements and include as direct costs
amounts that are reimbursable or paid to team members.

Research and Development
- ------------------------

Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred. Markland
capitalizes costs related to acquired technologies that have achieved
technological feasibility and have alternative uses. Acquired technologies which
do not meet this criteria are expensed as research and development costs.

Loss Per Share
- --------------

Basic and diluted net loss per common share has been computed based on the
weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the periods
presented.

Common stock equivalents, consisting of convertible debt, Series A and D
Convertible preferred stock, options and warrants were not included in the
calculation of the diluted loss per share because their inclusion would have had
the effect of decreasing the loss per share otherwise computed.

Impairment of Intangible Assets
- -------------------------------

The Company records as goodwill the excess of purchase price over the fair value
of the identifiable net assets acquired. Statements of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS ) No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets", prescribes a
two-step process for impairment testing of goodwill, which is performed
annually, as well as when an event triggering impairment may have occurred. The
first step tests for impairment, while the second step, if necessary, measures
the impairment. The Company has elected to perform its annual analysis during
the fourth quarter of each fiscal year. No indicators of impairment were
identified in the six months ended December 31, 2004 and 2003.


                                      F-54







Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
- -------------------------------

Pursuant to SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of
Long-lived Assets", Markland continually monitors events and changes in
circumstances that could indicate carrying amounts of long-lived assets may not
be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized when expected cash flows are
less than the asset's carrying value. Accordingly, when indicators of impairment
are present, Markland evaluates the carrying value of such assets in relation to
the operating performance and future undiscounted cash flows of the underlying
assets. Markland's policy is to record an impairment loss when it is determined
that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. No impairment
charges were recorded in six months ended December 31, 2004 and 2003.

Stock-Based Compensation
- ------------------------

At December 31, 2004, as permitted under SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure", which amended SFAS No.
123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", Markland has elected to continue
to follow the intrinsic value method in accounting for its stock-based employee
compensation arrangements as defined by Accounting Principles Board Opinion
("APB") No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees", and related
interpretation including Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")
Interpretation No. 44, "Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock
Compensation", an interpretation of APB No. 25. Had the Company followed the
fair value method in accounting for its stock-based employee compensation it
would have had the following effect on the net loss for the three months and six
months ended December 31:


                                                                 Six months ended               Three months ended

Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards
- ----------------------------------------------

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation" ("SFAS No. 123R"). SFAS No. 123R establishes standards for the
accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments
for goods or services. This Statement focuses primarily on accounting for
transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment
transactions. SFAS No. 123R requires that the fair value of such equity
instruments be recognized as an expense in the historical financial statements
as services are performed. Prior to SFAS No. 123R, only certain pro forma
disclosures of fair value were required. The provisions of this Statement are
effective for small business issuers the first interim reporting period that
begins after December 15, 2005. Accordingly, Markland will adopt SFAS No. 123R
commencing with the quarter ending March 31, 2006. If Markland had included the
fair value of employee stock options in these financial statements, the net loss
for the three and six months ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 would have been as
disclosed above. Accordingly, the adoption of SFAS No. 123R is expected to
have a material effect on our financial statements.

3.       ACQUISITIONS

Purchase of Science and Technology Research, Inc.
- -------------------------------------------------

In October 2003, Markland completed the acquisition of 100% of the common stock
of Science and Technology Research, Inc., a Maryland corporation ("STR"), by its
subsidiary, Security Technology, Inc., a Delaware Corporation ("STI"), through a
merger of STI with newly formed STR Acquisition Corporation, a Maryland
Corporation. STR is a producer of the U.S. Navy's Shipboard Automatic Chemical
Agent Detection and Alarm System (ACADA). The Navy deploys the "man-portable"
point detection system to detect all classic nerve and blister agents as well as
other chemical warfare agent (CWA) vapors.

The purchase price for STR was $6,475,000 and consisted of $900,000 in cash,
which was paid in October 2003, 1,539,779 shares of common stock valued at
$5,100,000, a promissory note of $375,000 and acquisition costs of $100,000. The
promissory note bears no interest and, under amended terms, was paid in full by
December 31, 2004. Holders of the shares of common stock were granted piggy-back
registration rights.

Markland also entered into a consulting agreement with the principal shareholder
and employee of STR (see Note 11).

Purchase of E-OIR Technologies, Inc.
- ------------------------------------

On June 29, 2004, Markland acquired all of the outstanding stock of E-OIR
Technologies, Inc. ("EOIR") for $8,000,000 in cash and $11,000,000 in principal
amount of five year notes secured by the assets and stock of EOIR. EOIR is a
provider of technology and services to the US Army Night Vision Laboratories and
has expertise in wide area remote sensing using both electro-optic and infrared
technologies. The acquisition was consummated in furtherance of Markland's
stated strategy of making synergistic acquisitions in order to provide products
and services to Homeland Defense, the Department of Defense and U.S.
Intelligence Agencies.

In connection with this acquisition, Markland has also adopted a Stock Incentive
Plan (see Note 9).

Unaudited pro forma financial information for the six months and three months
ended December 31, 2003, had the acquisitions of STR and EOIR been completed as
of July 1, 2003, is as follows:


                                                       December 31, 2003

4.       AMORTIZATION OF INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Amortizable intangible assets consist of the following at December 31, 2004:

         Amortizable intangibles - EOIR        $ 11,755,000
         Amortizable intangibles - Ergo             400,000

                                       F-56








The intangible assets entitled "Acoustic Core" which has a carrying value of
$1,300,000 are not available for commercial sale as of December 31, 2004.
Accordingly, no amortization expense has been recorded through December 31,
2004. Amortization expense was $963,985 and $150,001 for the six months ended
December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

5.       GOODWILL

On the date EOIR was acquired by Markland, EOIR had a payable of $724,459 to the
former stockholders related to possible taxes due in conjunction with the final
pre-acquisition tax return. In the quarter ended December 31, 2004, this accrual
was determined to no longer be required and no distributions are due to the
former stockholders. This reduction in payables was considered an adjustment in
the fair value of EOIR's net assets acquired and, accordingly, was recorded as a
reduction in Goodwill of $724,459.

6.       LONG-TERM DEBT

Note Payable - STR Acquisition
- ------------------------------

On October 1, 2003, Markland issued a note in the amount of $375,000 in
connection with the acquisition of STR. This note was paid in full by December
31, 2004.

On March 15, 2004, Markland agreed to issue to George Yang $40,000 of cash and
an additional 50,000 shares of common stock valued at $66,500 in exchange for
his agreement to extend the note to October 15, 2004. These amounts were charged
to interest expense in the statement of loss for the year ended June 30, 2004.
Accounts payable at December 31, 2004 include $40,000 related to this agreement.

Notes Payable - EOIR Acquisition
- --------------------------------

On June 29, 2004, EOIR issued notes guaranteed by Markland in the face amount of
$11,000,000 in connection with the acquisition of EOIR's common stock. These
notes accrue interest at 6% compounded monthly and interest is payable in
quarterly installments over 60 months in addition to annual principal payments.
The fair market value of these notes was $9,532,044 as determined by an
independent valuation. The discount of $1,467,956 is being amortized to interest
expense over the life of the notes. During the six months ended December 31,
2004, $146,796 was amortized to interest expense. The carrying value and
unamortized discount at December 31, 2004 was $9,678,840 and $1,321,160
respectively.



Other Long-Term Bank Debt
- -------------------------

Markland's other long-term bank debt consists of the following as of December
31, 2004:

Convertible Notes and Warrant Purchase Agreements - September 21, 2004
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------

On September 21, 2004, Markland Technologies, Inc. entered into a Purchase
Agreement with DKR Soundshore Oasis Holding Fund, Ltd. and DKR Soundshore
Strategic Holding Fund, Ltd. (together the "Investors") pursuant to which the
Company sold warrants to purchase shares of common stock (the "Warrants") and
secured convertible promissory notes (the "Convertible Notes") for the
aggregate consideration of $4,000,000. The Convertible Notes are initially
convertible into $5,200,000 of common stock at a price of $0.80 per share,
subject to certain adjustments as defined in the Purchase Agreement. The
Warrants entitle the Investors to purchase an aggregate of 6,500,000 shares of
our Common Stock at an initial conversion price of $.80 at any time and from
time to time through September 21, 2009.

The Purchase Agreement contains standard representations, covenants and events
of default. Occurrence of an event of default allows the Investors to accelerate
the payment of the Convertible Notes and/or exercise other legal remedies,
including foreclosing on collateral.

The Convertible Notes are in the aggregate principal amount of five million two
hundred thousand dollars ($5,200,000) and accrue interest daily at the rate of
eight percent (8%) per year on the then outstanding and unconverted principal
balance of the Convertible Notes. Under the terms of the Convertible Notes,
$4,000,000 of the outstanding principal and interest was required to be prepaid
by March 15, 2005. Since the Investors did not receive such prepayment amount by
March 15, 2005, then the Conversion Price shall be the Adjusted Conversion Price
which is the lower of $0.80 a share or 80% of the average of the Closing Prices
during the five (5) Trading Days prior to the applicable Conversion Date. This
shall not be an event of default. The remaining outstanding balance is due by
September 21, 2005. At anytime, and at the option of the Investors, the
outstanding principal and accrued interest of the Convertible Notes may be
converted into shares of Markland's common stock.

The Company has granted a security interest in and a lien on substantially all
of its assets to the Investors pursuant to the terms of a Security Agreement,
dated September 21, 2004.

As part of this financing, James LLC, the largest holder of Series D Preferred
Stock, agreed not to sell any of its holdings of Series D Preferred Stock until
the earlier to occur of: (1) notice from the Company and the investors that the
transactions contemplated in the Purchase Agreement had been terminated, or (2)
March 15, 2005. However, pursuant to the terms of the lock-up agreement, James,
LLC may still convert their Series D shares and sell the underlying shares of
common stock in accordance with Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended. In exchange, Markland agreed that under certain conditions, if they did
not redeem the Series D stock by January 15, 2005, they would issue to James LLC
a warrant to purchase 1,088,160 shares of our common stock at $.80 per share.

Subject to conditions set forth in the agreement, the Company may require the
Investors to purchase $1,000,000 of Additional Notes on the Additional Closing
Date.

On September 21, 2004, Markland estimated the fair value of the Warrants and
allocated the gross proceeds of $4,000,000 on a relative fair value basis
between the Convertible Notes and the Warrants. Based on this analysis, Markland
estimated that the relative fair value of the Warrants and Convertible Notes
were approximately $1,659,000 and $2,341,000, respectively. Based on the initial
conversion price of $0.80 per share, Markland estimated that the Convertible
Notes could convert into 6,500,000 shares of common stock and the effective
conversion price was approximately $0.36 per share. Accordingly, Markland
determined that there was a beneficial conversion feature of approximately
$3,054,000. Since the beneficial conversion feature exceeded the carrying value
of the Convertible Notes, the recognition of the beneficial conversion feature
was limited to $2,341,000. As a result, the Convertible Notes were recorded net
of the fair value of the Warrants and beneficial conversion feature at $0 and
will be accreted to $5,200,000, the face value of the Convertible Notes, over
the term of those notes. Non-cash interest expense related to the accretion of
this discount was $2,447,238 for the six months ended December 31, 2004. The
carrying value and unamortized discount at December 31, 2004 was $2,447,238 and
$2,752,762 respectively.


                                       F-58


In conjunction with the issuance of these Convertible Notes and Warrants,
Markland incurred cash financing costs of $766,628. These costs have been
recorded in Other Assets as deferred financing costs and are being amortized to
interest expense over the term of the Convertible Notes. Non-cash interest
expense related to the amortization of deferred financing costs was $360,793 in
the six months ended December 31, 2004.

Warrants to purchase 1,500,000 shares of common stock at an initial exercise
price of $1.50 and three year term were issued as finders fees. The fair value
of these warrants have been calculated at $887,374 and have been recorded as
additional deferred financing costs and are being amortized to interest expense
over the term of the Convertible Notes. Non-cash interest expense related to the
amortization of these deferred financing costs was $403,459 in the six months
ended December 31, 2004.

See Note 9 of our condensed consolidated financial statements for information
regarding the December 28, 2004, reduction in the exercise price of the
Warrants.

Convertible Notes and Warrant Purchase Agreements - November 9, 2004
- --------------------------------------------------------------------

On November 9, 2004, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement
(the "Securities Purchase Agreement") with Harborview Master Fund, LP and
Southridge Partners, LP (the "November Investors") pursuant to which the Company
sold warrants to purchase shares of common stock (the "November Warrants") and
secured convertible promissory notes (the "November Convertible Notes") for the
aggregate consideration of $1,350,000. The November Convertible Notes are
initially convertible into $1,755,000 of common stock at a price of $0.80 per
share, subject to certain adjustments as defined in the Purchase Agreement.


                                       F-59



The November Warrants entitle the November Investors to purchase an aggregate of
2,531,250 shares of our common stock, at any time and from time to time, through
November 9, 2009 at an initial exercise price of $1.50 per share. The November
Convertible Notes are in the aggregate principal amount of one million seven
hundred fifty five thousand dollars ($1,755,000) and accrue interest daily at
the rate of eight percent (8%) per year on the then outstanding and unconverted
principal balance of the notes. Under the terms of the November Convertible
Notes $1,000,000 of the outstanding principle and interest is required to be
prepaid by March 15, 2005. In the event the November Investors do not receive
such prepayment amount by the prepayment date then the conversion price shall
automatically become the adjusted conversion price which is the lower of $0.80
per share or 80% of the average of the closing prices during the five trading
days prior to the applicable conversion date. This shall not be an event of
default. The remaining outstanding balance is due by September 21, 2005. The
notes will mature on November 9, 2005. At any time, and at the option of the
November Investors, the outstanding principal and accrued interest of the notes
may be converted into shares of our common stock at an initial conversion price
per share of $0.80.

On November 9, 2004, Markland estimated the fair value of the November Warrants
and allocated the gross proceeds of $1,350,000 on a relative fair value basis
between the November Convertible Notes and the November Warrants. Based on this
analysis, Markland estimated that the relative fair value of the November
Warrants and November Convertible Notes were approximately $571,513 and
$778,487, respectively. Based on the initial conversion price of $0.80 per
share, Markland estimated that the November Convertible Notes could convert into
2,193,750 shares of common stock and the effective conversion price was
approximately $0.36 per share. Accordingly, Markland determined that there was a
beneficial conversion feature of approximately $713,263. As a result, the
November Convertible Notes were recorded net of the fair value of the November
Warrants and beneficial conversion feature at $65,224 and will be accreted to
$1,755,000, the face value of the November Convertible Notes, over the term of
those notes. Non-cash interest expense related to the accretion of this discount
was $240,735 for the six months ended December 31, 2004. The carrying value and
unamortized discount at December 31, 2004 was $305,959 and $1,449,041
respectively.

In conjunction with the issuance of these November Convertible Notes and
November Warrants, Markland incurred financing costs of $175,530. These costs
have been recorded in Other Assets as deferred financing costs and are being
amortized to interest expense over the term of the November Convertible Notes.
Non-cash interest expense related to the amortization of deferred financing
costs was $25,007 in the six months ended December 31, 2004.

Under the terms of each these November Convertible Notes, we are required to pay
a principal amount on each note equal to the consideration paid by the November
Investors holding such note plus any accrued interest by March 15, 2005, and the
remaining outstanding balance by November 9, 2005. If we do not make the March
15, 2005 prepayment, the conversion price will be adjusted from $0.80 per share
to the lower of (i) $0.80 and (ii) a floating rate equal to 80% of average
closing price per share of our common stock for the five trading days preceding
conversion. Additionally, if we do not make the March 15, 2005 prepayment, the
exercise price of the November Warrant will be reduced from $1.50 to the lesser
of (i) $0.792 and (ii) 80% of the average closing price per share of our common
stock on the date the adjustment is made.

The other terms of these notes and warrants are substantially the same as the
Convertible Notes and Warrants Purchase agreement dated September 21, 2004
described above.

See Note 9 of our condensed consolidated financial statements for information
regarding the December 28, 2004, reduction in the exercise price of the November
Warrants.

7.       EQUITY LINE

On September 10, 2003, Markland entered into a Private Equity Credit Agreement
with Brittany Capital Management, Ltd. ("Brittany"). Markland agreed to issue
and sell to Brittany up to $10,000,000 worth of its common stock over the next
three years. Prior to any sales, Markland is required to file a registration
statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission, relating to the shares to
be issued, and to have such registration statement declared effective.


                                       F-60




For all periods presented, Markland has determined that the fair value of this
Put was not material.

The Equity Line expired on September 10, 2004 and the Company is no longer
entitled to require Brittany to purchase shares of Common Stock pursuant to it.

8.       STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

Preferred Stock:
- ----------------

The Company is authorized to issue 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock which may
be issued in series with such designations, preferences, stated values, rights
qualifications, or limitations as determined by the Board of Directors.

         Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock
         -----------------------------------------------

On June 30, 2003, Markland issued 30,000 shares of our Series A Non-Voting
Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock in satisfaction of our remaining
obligations under a promissory note. The Series A Preferred Stock has no par
value, is non-voting and has a stated value of $10 per share. The Preferred
Stock is convertible at any time at the option of the Company, and cannot be
converted by the holder. This stock is convertible at the rate of three shares
of Series A Preferred Stock for each share of common stock. This conversion rate
may be adjusted at any time by the Company as a result of either the sale of the
Company or as a result of a stock split or stock dividend that is issued by the
Company while these shares remain outstanding.

The Company shall have the right, but not the obligation to, at any time after
the issuance of these shares to redeem all or any portion of the outstanding
shares of Series A Preferred Stock from the holder in cash at the stated value
of $10 per share by sending notice to the holder. The Series A Preferred Stock
has a liquidation preference of $10 per share. This stock does not accrue
dividends.

         Series C 5% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock
         --------------------------------------------------

The Series C Preferred Stock is non-voting and has a liquidation preference of
$1,000 per share. The holders of the Series C Preferred Stock are entitled to
receive dividends on each share of preferred stock, which shall accrue on a
daily basis at the rate of 5% per annum on the sum of the liquidation preference
plus all accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon. These dividends shall accrue
whether or not they have been declared or there are legally available funds with
which to pay them, and at the option of the holders are payable either in cash
or in unrestricted common stock. The Series C Preferred Stock is redeemable at
any time by Markland, and cannot be converted by the holders without written
permission for a period of 6 months following the issuance of the shares and
then only 10% may be converted per month thereafter. The Series C Preferred
Stock is convertible at the option of the holder at a conversion price ranging
from 65% to 80% of the common stock's market price at the time of the
conversion.

At December 31, 2004, there were no shares of Series C Preferred Stock issued or
outstanding.

8.       STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY (CONT)

Series D Convertible Preferred Stock
- ------------------------------------

Shares of the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock have a liquidation preference
of $1,000 per share, are non-voting, do not accrue dividends, are redeemable by
Markland anytime and are convertible into shares of Markland's common stock at a
conversion price ranging from 65% to 80% of the common stock's market price at
the time of the conversion.


                                       F-61



The Series D preferred stock is convertible at the option of the stockholder at
any time. The number of shares of our common stock into which each share of
Series D preferred is convertible is determined by dividing $1,000 by the
discounted bid price. The "discounted" bid price is the average closing bid
price of our common stock during the five business days immediately preceding
the conversion date multiplied by the applicable discount factor, as set forth
below.

  -------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------

  AVERAGE CLOSING BID PRICE (1)                            DISCOUNT FACTOR
  -------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------
  $15.00 or less                                                   80%
  -------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------
  more than $15.00, but less than or equal to $30.00               75%
  -------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------
  more than $30.00, but less than or equal to $45.00               70%
  -------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------
  more than $45.00                                                 65%
  -------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------

         ______________________
         (1) After an adjustment for a 1-for-60 reverse stock split effective
             October 27, 2003.

The Series D preferred stock can be converted only to the extent that the Series
D stockholder will not, as a result of the conversion, hold in excess of 9.999%
of the total outstanding shares of our common stock.

During the six months ended December 31, 2004, 7,331 shares of Series D were
converted into 15,868,206 common shares of the Company.

At December 31, 2004 there were 15,455 shares of Series D outstanding.

Reverse Stock Split
- -------------------

On September 4, 2003, Markland's board of directors approved a resolution to
effect a one-for-sixty reverse stock split. This action was subsequently
approved by shareholder action which was approved by written consent of the
Markland shareholders who held at least a majority of the voting power of the
common stock, at least 67% of the voting power of the Series C Cumulative
Convertible Preferred Stock, and at least 67% of the voting power of the Series
D Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock. As a result, each sixty shares of
common stock was converted automatically into one share of common stock. To
avoid the issuance of fractional shares of common stock, each fractional share
resulting from the reverse split was rounded up to a whole share. The reverse
stock split did not reduce the 500,000,000 shares of common stock that Markland
is authorized to issue. The resolution, which impacts shareholders of record as
of September 5, 2003 became effective on October 27, 2003. All share amounts and
per share data have been restated to reflect this reverse stock split.

Common Stock Issuances
- ----------------------

Markland has entered into compensation agreements with certain officers and a
consultant (see Note 11) which provide for, among other things, certain
performance-based stock grants. In connection with these agreements, Markland
issued 6,637,145 shares of common stock during the six months ended December 31,
2004. Due to the indeterminate number of shares to be issued under these
agreements, Markland accounts for these stock compensation plans under variable
accounting.

For the six months ended December 31, 2004, Markland recognized unearned
compensation, additional paid in capital and stock compensation expense of
$6,939,053, $9,192,476 and $2,253,423 respectively.

During the six months ended December 31, 2004, Markland also issued the
following:

o        466,994 shares of its common stock to other employees and consultants
         as compensation


                                       F-62







o        15,868,206 shares of its common stock on conversion of 7,331 Series D
         shares.

o        833,333 shares of its common stock in connection with satisfying reset
         rights of an existing investor and a result of the Convertible Note and
         Warrant Purchase Agreement entered into on September 21, 2004 (see Note
         6).

o        226,096 shares with a fair value of $108,528 of its common stock issued
         as finders fees in connection with its acquisition of EOIR which was
         recorded as additional goodwill.

o        1,968,750 shares of its common stock in connection with the exercise of
         warrants.

o        152,778 shares with a fair value of $70,278 of its common stock issued
         as settlement in connection with litigation.

Markland has established the following reserves for the future issuance of
common stock as follows:

         Reserve for the exercise of warrants                     27,616,049
         Reserve for stock option plans                           25,000,000
         Reserve for conversion of Series A Preferred Stock           10,000
         Reserve for conversion of Series D Preferred Stock       24,767,628
                                                                -------------
                 Total reserves                                   77,393,677
                                                                =============

The Company is also obligated to issue certain shares under employment and
consulting agreements (see Note 11).

9.       OPTIONS AND WARRANTS

In conjunction with the Company's acquisition of EOIR, the Company adopted the
2004 Stock Incentive Plan ("the Plan"). The Plan authorizes the Company to issue
up to 25,000,000 of common shares in the form of options, stock awards,
performance share awards or stock appreciation rights.

On June 29, 2004, the Company issued options to eleven former minority owners of
EOIR who have continued employment with the Company. These options have a ten
year term and vest ratably over a five year period. Ten of these employees
received options to purchase 9,345,737 shares of common stock at a price of
$.3775. On the date of grant, the intrinsic value of these options, $3,528,016,
was recorded as unearned stock-based compensation and additional paid in
capital. This intrinsic value will be amortized to stock compensation over the
five year vesting period.

One employee received five options, each of which allows for the purchase of a
number of shares equal to .11799575 times a fraction of $1,600,000 divided by
the fair value of the stock on the vesting date. One of these options vests each
year for the next five years. The exercise price of these options will be
one-half the fair value of the stock on the vesting date. The intrinsic value of
these options based on the fair value of the stock on December 31, 2004 is
$471,983. This intrinsic value has been recorded as unearned stock-based
compensation and additional paid in capital. Due to the variable nature of the
exercise price and number of shares to be issued under these options, the
intrinsic value will be remeasured each period until the terms are fixed. The
intrinsic value of each option will be amortized over the vesting periods. As of
December 31, 2004, the maximum number of shares issuable under these options is
1,210,213.

During the three months ended December 31, 2004, 3,009,574 options were
cancelled due to the departure of four employees. In conjunction with the
departure of two of these employees, the Company modified the options so that
the employees were immediately vested in 40% of the options held. Without
modification, these options would have been cancelled upon termination. As a
result of this modification, the Company remeasured the intrinsic value on the
remeasurement date and determined that there was no incremental value.
Therefore, the Company fully amortized the remaining unearned portion of the
vested options upon modification. The cancellation of the remaining unvested
options resulted in a reduction in unearned compensation and additional paid-in
capital of $1,136,099.


                                       F-63








For the six months ended December 31, 2004, the Company recorded $627,355 in
amortization relating to the Plan options.

Markland has also agreed to grant options to purchase an additional 5,000,000
shares of common stock to employees of EOIR in the future. Markland expects that
these options will vest over five years after the date of grant and will have an
exercise price equal to the fair market value of the common stock on the date of
grant.

There were no options issued in the six months ended December 31, 2004 and
1,000,229 were vested at December 31, 2004.

At December 31, 2004, the Company had the following outstanding warrants:

On December 7, 2004, we entered into an Agreement with Trilogy Capital Partners,
Inc. ("Trilogy"). Pursuant to that agreement, for a period of twelve months,
Trilogy will provide publicity and marketing services for us. In addition,
Trilogy will perform the functions of an in-house Investor Relations Officer for
us. In return we are required to pay Trilogy a fee of $10,000 per month for
twelve months. In addition, pursuant to this agreement, we issued to Trilogy
warrants to purchase four million (4,000,000) shares of our common stock, par
value $0.0001 per share, with an exercise price of $0.60 per share. The fair
value of these warrants was calculated at $2,391,592 and was recorded as
unearned compensation and additional paid-in capital and will be expensed over a
period of twelve months from December 7, 2004. We also issued warrants to
purchase four hundred thousand (400,000) shares of our common stock on
substantially the same terms to an individual for the introduction to Trilogy.
In the six months ended December 31, 2004, we recorded amortization of unearned
compensation in Selling, General and Administrative expense of $137,976 related
to this agreement.

On December 28, 2004, we entered into agreements with DKR Soundshore Oasis
Holding Fund Ltd. and DKR Soundshore Strategic Holding Fund Ltd. (collectively
"DKR") to amend terms of warrants issued to DKR on September 21, 2004 (the "DKR
Warrants"), for the purchase of up to 6,500,000 shares of our common stock,
$0.0001 par value per share issued in connection with our September 21, 2004,
private placement. Specifically, subject to the terms and conditions contained
in the DKR Amendment, the parties have agreed:


                                       F-64








         o        To amend the DKR Warrants so that DKR may exercise all or any
                  portion of the Warrants for an exercise price of $0.60 per
                  share of the Common Stock, from December 28, 2004 until
                  February 28, 2005 (the "DKR Exercise Period"). At the end of
                  the DKR Exercise Period, the amendment shall expire and the
                  exercise terms of the DKR Warrants existing prior to December
                  28, 2004, shall be effective.
         o        That DKR shall exercise a minimum of $600,000 in exercise
                  price of the DKR Warrants, as amended, on or before the close
                  of business on December 31, 2004.
         o        That the number of shares of Common Stock subject to the DKR
                  Warrants shall not be adjusted as a result of the temporary
                  reduction in exercise price.
         o        At the end of the DKR Exercise Period, we will issue to DKR
                  warrants to purchase a number of shares of Common Stock equal
                  to the number of shares purchased by DKR during the DKR
                  Exercise Period at an exercise price of $1.50 per share (the
                  "NEW DKR WARRANTS").

On December 30, 2004, DKR exercised warrants to purchase 1,000,000 shares of the
Company's common stock at $0.60 per share for proceeds of $ $600,000. As a
result of this modification of terms, Markland remeasured the fair value of the
DKR Warrants. Since the beneficial conversion feature originally measured (see
Note 6) exceeded the proceeds allocated to the convertible notes, no additional
beneficial conversion feature was recorded as a result of this modification.

On December 29, 2004, we entered into an agreement with Greenfield Capital
Partners LLC ("Greenfield") to amend the terms of a warrant issued to Greenfield
(the "Greenfield Warrants") on September 22, 2004 for the purchase of up to
750,000 shares of Common Stock as compensation for consulting services performed
by Greenfield in connection with our September 21, 2004 private placement.
Specifically, subject to the terms and conditions contained in the Greenfield
Amendment, the parties have agreed:

         o        To amend the Greenfield Warrants so that Greenfield may
                  exercise all or any portion of the Greenfield Warrant for an
                  exercise price of $0.60 per share of Common Stock, from
                  December 29, 2004 until January 31, 2005 (the "Greenfield
                  Exercise Period").
         o        That Greenfield shall exercise a minimum of 400,000 of the
                  Greenfield Warrants, as amended, on or before December 31,
                  2004, and 350,000 of the Greenfield Warrants, as amended, on
                  or before the close of business on January 31, 2005.
         o        That the number of shares of Common Stock subject to the
                  Greenfield Warrant shall not be adjusted as a result of the
                  temporary reduction in exercise price.
         o        That section 2(b) of the Greenfield Warrant shall be amended
                  so as to prohibit the exercise of the Greenfield Warrants to
                  the extent that such issuance would result in Greenfield
                  beneficially owning more than 9.99% of the outstanding shares
                  of Common Stock.

On December 30,2004, Greenfield exercised warrants to purchase 400,000 shares of
the Company's common stock at $0.60 per share for proceeds of $240,000. As a
result of this modification of terms, Markland remeasured the fair value of the
Greenfield Warrants. Markland determined there was no material incremental value
as a result of this remeasurement.

On December 29, 2004, we entered into an agreement with Southridge Partners LP
("Southridge") to amend the terms of a warrant issued to Southridge on November
9, 2004 (the "Southridge Warrant") for the purchase of up to 568,750 shares of
Common Stock in connection with our November 9, 2004, private placement.
Specifically, subject to the terms and conditions contained in the Southridge
Amendment, the parties have agreed:

         o   To amend the Southridge Warrant so that Southridge may exercise all
             or any portion of the Southridge Warrant for an exercise price of
             $0.60 per share of Common Stock, from December 29, 2004 until
             December 31, 2004 (the "Southridge Exercise Period").

         o   That Southridge shall exercise all of the of the Southridge
             Warrant, as amended, on or before the close of business, New York
             City time, on December 31, 2004.


                                       F-65








         o   That the number of shares of Common Stock subject to the Southridge
             Warrant shall not be adjusted as a result of the temporary
             reduction in exercise price.

         o   That section 11(a) of the Southridge Warrant shall be deleted in
             its entirety so as to eliminate restrictions on the ability of
             Southridge to exercise the Southridge Warrants based on the number
             of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Southridge.

On December 30,2004, Southridge exercised warrants to purchase 568,750 shares of
the Company's common stock at $0.60 per share for proceeds of $341,250. As a
result of this modification of terms, Markland remeasured the fair value of the
Southridge Warrants. Markland determined there was no material incremental value
as a result of this remeasurement.

11.      COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Compensation Agreements
- -----------------------

Effective January 2003, Markland entered into a one-year compensation agreement
with the former chief executive officer and three three-year agreements with an
officer, the president and chief financial officer, and two consultants to
Markland, Robert Tarini and Verdi Consulting, which provided for aggregate
remuneration of $47,500 per month.

One of these agreements provided for the issuance of 1.67% of Markland's
outstanding common stock in three installments, 50% of the shares were issued on
or about March 21, 2003, 25% of the shares on or about July 1, 2003 and 25% of
the shares on or about October 1, 2003. A final issuance occurred as of December
31, 2003, so that the total amount of shares issued up to December 31, 2003 will
equal 1.67% of the outstanding common stock as of December 31, 2003.

In addition, these three agreements provide in total for the issuance of 5.01%
of the Company's outstanding common stock in four installments on a fully
diluted basis based upon certain performance criteria being met. Upon contract
signing, the Company issued a number of shares of Common Stock then equivalent
to 0.5% of the total number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding,
inclusive of such Employee's/Consultant's Shares; on or about July 1, 2003,
Company will issue to these Employee/Consultants a number of shares of Common
Stock then equivalent to 0.5% of the total number of shares of Common Stock then
outstanding, inclusive of such Employee's/Consultant's Shares if the Second
Quarter gross revenue target has been met; and on or about October 1, 2003
Company will issue to these Employee/Consultants a number of shares of Common
Stock then equivalent to 0.67% of the total number of shares of Common Stock
then outstanding, inclusive of such Employee's/Consultant's Shares, minus the
aggregate number of Shares issued to these parties in the first two installments
if the Third Quarter gross revenue target has been met. If necessary, an
additional issuance will occur in January 2004, so that the total amount of
shares issued will equal 5.01% of the outstanding common stock calculated on a
fully-diluted basis assuming the conversion of all convertible securities as of
December 31, 2003.


                                       F-66








All of the shares issuable under these four agreements were earned as of January
1, 2004. Accordingly, a total of 1,410,719 shares were issued, of which 119,360
were issued during the year ended June 30, 2003 and 1,291,359 were issued during
the year ended June 30, 2004.

On May 12, 2004, Markland entered into five-year compensation agreements with
two executives, the chairman and chief executive officer and the president and
chief financial officer, and a consultant, Verdi Consulting. These agreements,
which are effective on January 1, 2004, provide for the following remuneration:

       Base annual remuneration of $300,000 each (an aggregate of $900,000)
       payable over the five-year period ending January 2, 2009;

       Discretionary bonuses over the term of the agreement of up to 300% of
       the base remuneration; and

       Conditional stock grants over the period commencing April 1, 2004 through
       January 2, 2008, based on defined performance criteria. The stock grants,
       if all earned, entitle each of the three parties to receive up to 7.5% of
       Markland's common stock on a fully diluted basis. These grants are earned
       according to the following schedule:

                           Grant 1          2.5%          April 1, 2004
                           Grant 2          1.0%          July 1, 2004
                           Grant 3          1.0%          October 1, 2004
                           Grant 4          1.0%          January 2, 2005
                           Grant 5          1.0%          January 2, 2006
                           Grant 6          0.5%          January 2, 2007
                           Grant 7          0.5%          January 2, 2008

       The number of shares of common stock to be granted on each grant date is
       equal to the product of (a) the number of fully diluted shares
       outstanding at the grant date and (b) the stock percentage associated
       with that grant date.

       In the event of a change in control of Markland during the period covered
       by the agreement, each executive/consultant will automatically be granted
       all remaining stock grants and will be due cash and expense compensation
       for the shorter of (i) three years from the date of the change in
       control, or (ii) until the end of the term of the agreement. A change in
       control is defined by the agreements as a change in the majority
       ownership of the equity of Markland, or the resignation or termination of
       the majority of the board of directors within a two month period, or the
       replacement of the CEO or the President of Markland.

In June 2004, these agreements were modified to remove the anti-dilution
provision. During the six months ended December 31, 2004, a total of 6,637,145
shares of common stock were issued under these new agreements.

In December 2004 these agreements were modified to provide a mechanism whereby
the Company may acquire all or a portion of the Common Stock granted to each
executive/consultant for a nominal sum in the event that their relationship with
the Company terminates prior to the registration of those shares. As part of
this modification, the stock grants were accelerated so that Grants 5 and 6 were
earned on January 2, 2005 and Grants 7 and 8 will be earned on July 1, 2005.

On December 7, 2004, we appointed Gino Pereira as our Chief Financial Officer.
The employment agreement for Mr. Pereira provides for a term of five years,
beginning December 1, 2004. Mr. Pereira's salary is set at $225,000, with a
provision that such salary shall be increased to $300,000 at such time when Mr.
Pereira's duties with the Company preclude him from performing work for other
clients. The employment agreement provides for a grant of 3,000,000 shares of
the Company's Common Stock to Mr. Pereira on the date of signing. These shares
are unregistered shares and were granted in reliance on Section 4(2) of the
Securities Act of 1933. The employment agreement provides for payment to Mr.
Pereira upon a change in control resulting in the voluntary or involuntary
termination of a majority of the board of directors, the chief executive officer
or the president of an amount equal to the lesser of three times his then
current salary or the salary owed through the end of the employment agreement


                                       F-67








The employment agreement provides a mechanism whereby the Company may acquire
all or a portion of the Common Stock granted to Mr. Pereira for a nominal sum in
the event that his engagement with the Company is terminated prior to the
registration of those shares. Since August of 2004, Mr. Pereira had been acting
as a paid consultant to us in matters involving finances. As of November 18,
2004, Mr. Pereira had received $62,497 for his consulting services.

On December 7, 2004, we appointed Dr. Joseph P. Mackin as our chief operating
officer. Dr. Mackin was a selling shareholder of EOIR when we purchased it on
June 30, 2004. As part of that transaction, Dr. Mackin received $97,712.15 in
cash and a promissory note for $662,288.00. The employment agreement for Dr.
Mackin provides for a term of five years, beginning January 3, 2005. Dr.
Mackin's salary is set at $300,000. The employment agreement accelerated the
vesting date for options previously granted to Dr. Mackin and provides for
periodic grants of the Company's Common Stock to Dr. Mackin, with an initial
grant of 2,000,000 shares. These shares are unregistered shares and were granted
in reliance on Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. The employment
agreement provides for an acceleration of stock grants and payment to Dr. Mackin
upon a change in control resulting in the voluntary or involuntary termination
of a majority of the board of directors or the chief executive officer of an
amount equal to the lesser of three times his then current salary or the salary
owed through the end of the employment agreement. The employment agreement
provides a mechanism whereby the Company may acquire all or a portion of the
Common Stock granted to Dr. Mackin for a nominal sum in the event that his
engagement with the Company is terminated prior to the registration of those
shares.

In the six months ended December 31, 2004, Markland recorded unearned
compensation, additional paid-in capital and stock compensation of $6,588,747,
$7,877,690 and $1,288,943 respectively, related to these agreements.

In connection with the STR acquisition, Markland entered into a one year
consulting agreement, as amended on March 17, 2004, with the former President
and principal of STR ("Consultant"). In consideration for the consulting
services to be rendered by Consultant, Markland shall pay to Consultant the sum
of $285,000 (the "fee"). The fee shall be payable as follows: $25,000 is payable
on July 15, 2004, a second payment in the amount of $35,000, is payable on
August 15, 2004, a third payment in the amount of $60,000 is payable on
September 15, 2004, a fourth payment in the amount of $60,000 is payable on
October 15, 2004, a fifth payment in the amount of $60,000 is payable on
November 15, 2004 and the sixth and final payment in the amount of $45,000 is
payable on December 15, 2004. As of December 31, 2004, Markland has accrued
$225,625 related to this agreement.

Resignation of Officers
- -----------------------

On November 1, 2004, Gregory A. Williams notified the Board of Directors of
Markland Technologies, Inc. of his resignation from the Board of Directors of
the Company and his positions as Director, Executive Vice President, Chief
Financial Officer, and Chief Operating Officer of the Company's wholly owned
subsidiary, EOIR Technologies, Inc. ("EOIR"). On that date, Mr. Williams, the
Company, and EOIR entered into an Agreement and General Release detailing the
terms and conditions of Mr. Williams' resignation (the "Separation Agreement").
The Separation Agreement states, among other things, that (a) the Company is to
pay Mr. Williams twelve months of severance and all accrued and unused vacation
time, (b) Mr. Williams is entitled to retain all benefits until the earlier of
December 31, 2005 or when Mr. Williams finds new employment, (c) the vesting of
40% of the non-statutory stock options held by Mr. William is accelerated; and
(e) Mr. Williams reaffirms his confidentiality and non-competition obligations
and agrees not to compete with or solicit employees from EOIR for a period of
twelve months. In conjunction with this and other severance agreements with

Facility Rental
- ---------------

STR leases its location in Fredericksburg, VA, on a month-to-month basis without
a formal agreement. Rent expense relating to this location was $6,937 per month.
This location was vacated on December 31, 2004.

We have a five year lease for our executive offices of approximately 1,000
square feet located in Ridgefield, Connecticut and a month-to-month lease for a
manufacturing facility of approximately 5,000 square feet located in
Fredericksburg, Virginia. We also have an administrative office in Providence,
RI which is utilized under a monthly sublease comprising approximately 4,000
square feet.

EOIR, our wholly owned subsidiary, holds a four-year lease for its executive and
administrative offices of approximately 5,420 square feet in Woodbridge,
Virginia. The lease, which has an option to renew for an additional three-year
term, expires on September 30, 2005. EOIR also leases approximately 5,000 square
feet in Spotsylvania, Virginia, where it houses its software development unit.
This lease is currently on a month-to-month basis.

We also have several offices located in Fredericksburg, VA. One office with
approximately 4,722 sq ft., with a 1 year lease, one with 1,200 sq ft. with a 5
year lease, one with 10,000 sq ft., with a 5 year lease, and one with 4,200 sq
ft., with a five year lease. Monthly lease amounts for these facilities total
approximately $31,000.

In addition we have a one year lease for an executive office located in Boston,
MA. The monthly lease amount for this facility is approximately $1,600.

Income Taxes
- ------------

The Company is currently delinquent on its corporate state income tax filings.
The Company expects that its net operating loss carryforwards will be sufficient
to offset any taxable income. As a result, no provision for income taxes or any
related penalties or interest has been recorded for the six months ended
December 31, 2004.

Government Contracts
- --------------------

The Company's billings related to certain U.S. Government contracts are based on
provisional general & administrative and overhead rates which are subject to
audit by the contracting government agency.

12.      INCOME TAXES

There was no provision for federal or state income taxes for the six months
ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, due to the Company's operating losses and a
full valuation reserve.

The Company's deferred tax asset before valuation allowance is approximately
$10,300,000 and at December 31, 2004 consisted primarily of net operating loss
carry forwards. The change in the valuation allowance for the six months ended
December 31, 2004 was approximately $3,700,000. When filed, the Company's net
operating loss carry forwards of approximately $25,900,000 will expire in
varying amounts through 2024. The use of the federal net operating loss carry
forwards may be limited in future years as a result of ownership changes in the
Company's common stock, as defined by section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code.
The Company has not completed an analysis of these changes.

The Company has provided a full valuation reserve against the deferred tax asset
because of the Company's loss history and significant uncertainty surrounding
the Company's ability to utilize its net operating loss and tax credit
carryforward.

13.      RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Robert Tarini, our chief executive officer is also chief executive officer of
Syquest, Inc. Syquest performs software and engineering development for the
Markland Group and provides approximately 4000 sq ft of office space to the
Company in Providence, RI. During the six months ended December 31, 2004 Syquest
provided $213,980 in engineering and software services and charged $36,000 for
rent.

The Company believes that all transactions described above were made on terms no
less favorable to it than those obtainable from unaffiliated third parties. All
future transactions, if any, with its executive officers, directors and
affiliates will be on terms no less favorable to it than those that will be
obtainable from unrelated third parties at the time such transactions are made.

14.      LITIGATION

On June 28, 2004, Charles Wainer filed a civil suit against the Company in the
Circuit Court for Broward County Florida alleging breach of a stock purchase
agreement and breach of an employment agreement stemming from Wainer's sale of
his business to a predecessor of the Company and his subsequent employment
thereat. In the complaint, Wainer alleges Markland owes him $300,000 cash, some
unspecified portion of $700,000 in stock, some unspecified portion of $86,000
cash for lease payments, and approximately $20,000 in back-pay. The Company
believes that these claims are without merit and plans to vigorously defend the
action. On August 11, 2004, answered the complaint and denied any liability.

On or about September 16, 2004, Joseph R. Moulton, Sr. initiated a lawsuit in
the Circuit Court of Spotsylvania County, Virginia, against the Company, EOIR,
our wholly owned subsidiary, and our Chief Executive Officer and Director,
Robert Tarini. Mr. Moulton was the largest single shareholder of EOIR prior to
its acquisition by the Company, owning approximately 67% of the EOIR capital
stock. Mr. Moulton received approximately $5,863,000 in cash and a promissory
note of EOIR in the approximate principal amount of $6,967,000 for his shares of
EOIR at the closing of the acquisition of EOIR by the Company. In his complaint
Mr. Moulton asserts, among other things, that the Company breached its
obligations under the Stock Purchase Agreement, dated June 29, 2004, pursuant to
which the Company acquired EOIR, by terminating Mr. Moulton's employment with
EOIR and removing him from the EOIR board of directors. Mr. Moulton is seeking
damages allegedly suffered by his loss of employment, extreme emotional
distress, and costs incurred to enforce his contractual rights. In addition, he
is seeking certain other equitable relief including, the appointment of a
receiver to oversee the management of EOIR until these promissory notes issued
to former EOIR shareholders at the closing of the acquisition are paid in full
and a declaratory judgment that the Company's actions constitute an event of
default under these promissory notes allowing for the acceleration of all
amounts (approximately $11,000,000) due thereunder. The Company is a guarantor
of these notes. The Company believes that the allegations in this lawsuit are
entirely without merit and expects to file an answer denying Mr. Moulton's
allegations and opposing vigorously all equitable relief sought. The Company is
considering bringing various claims against Mr. Moulton either by counterclaim
or in a separate action.

In addition, we are subject to legal proceedings, claims, and litigation arising
in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome of these matters is
currently not determinable, we do not expect that the ultimate costs to resolve
these matters will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial
position, results of operations, or cash flows

On December 7, 2004, the Company issued 152,778 shares of its Common Stock in
settlement of a civil suit filed against Quest Net, Inc., a predecessor company
to Markland, for the non-payment of a promissory note valued at $66,671.

7,225,000 shares of the Company's common stock at $0.60 per share for proceeds

Preferred Stock Restriction Agreement
- -------------------------------------

On January 5, 2005, the Company entered into a preferred stock restriction
agreement (the "Agreement") with James LLC (the "Series D Holder"), to restrict
the sale of shares of the Company's series D cumulative convertible preferred
stock and shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.0001 per share
issuable upon conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock (the "Conversion
Shares" and, collectively with the Series D Preferred Stock, the "Subject
Securities").

Specifically, subject to the terms and conditions contained in the Agreement,
the parties have agreed that the Series D Holder will not transfer or dispose of
any of the Subject Securities prior to March 15, 2005. Beginning on March 15,
2005, the Series D Holder may sell its Conversion Shares in broker's
transactions subject to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933.
However, beginning on June 15, 2005, the Series D Holder's sales of the
Conversion Shares shall be limited to sales of not more than $600,000 per
calendar month. Beginning on September 13, 2005, the monthly limit on the Series
D Holder's sales of the Conversion Shares shall be increased to $750,000 per
calendar month.

The Agreement calls for the Company to enter into a Private Equity Credit
Agreement with an investor, Brittany Capital Management, Ltd., for an equity
line of credit in the amount of $10,000,000. The Equity Line shall be subject to
certain conditions enumerated in Section 4.8 of that certain Purchase Agreement,
dated September 21, 2004, between the company and investors named therein. The
Company is required, within twenty-one (21) days of the execution of the Private
Equity Credit Agreement, to file a registration statement with the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") providing for the resale by the Investor of
the shares of Common Stock sold to the Investor pursuant to the Equity Line. In
the event that the Equity Line Registration Statement has not been declared
effective by the SEC prior to June 15, 2005, the Company shall pay a cash
penalty of $50,000 per month to the Investor.

In connection with the execution of the Agreement, the Company agreed to issue
warrants to purchase one million eighty-eight thousand one hundred sixty
(1,088,160) shares of Common Stock as set forth in the Lock-Up agreement with
the Series D Holder dated September 21, 2004, at an exercise price of $0.60 per
share. The Series D Holder is entitled to have the shares subject to these
warrants included in the first registration statement filed by the Company with
the SEC following the Equity Line Registration Statement. These warrants are
unregistered securities and are being issued in reliance on Section 4(2) of the
Securities Act of 1933.

On January 4, 2005, we entered into an agreement with David Stefansky to amend
the terms of a warrant issued (the "Stefansky Warrant") to him on September 21,
2004 as compensation for consulting services performed by Stefansky in
connection with our September 21, 2004, private placement for the purchase of up
to 375,000 shares of our common stock. Specifically, subject to the terms and
conditions contained in the Stefansky Amendment, the parties have agreed:

         o        To amend the Stefansky Warrant so that Stefansky may exercise
                  all or any portion of the Stefansky Warrant for an exercise
                  price of $0.60 per share of Common Stock, from January 4,
                  2005, until January 7, 2005.

         o        That Stefansky shall exercise all of the of the Stefansky
                  Warrant, as amended, on or before the close of business on
                  January 7, 2005.


                                       F-71







         o        That the number of shares of Common Stock subject to the
                  Stefansky Warrant shall not be adjusted as a result of the
                  temporary reduction in exercise price.

On January 5, 2005, warrants for 375,000 shares of common stock were exercised
for proceeds of $225,000.

Warrant Amendments with DKR Soundshore Holding Fund, Ltd. and DKR Soundshore
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Strategic Holding Fund, Ltd.
- ---------------------------

On February 7, 2005, the Company entered into agreements with DKR Soundshore
Holding Fund, Ltd. DKR Soundshore Strategic Holding Fund, Ltd. ("DKR"), to
reduce the exercise price of replacement warrants ("Replacement Warrants")
issuable to DKR pursuant to the Amendment to Warrants between the Company and
DKR dated December 28, 2004 (the "Amendment") (see Note 9). Pursuant to the
Amendment, the Company agreed to issue to DKR new warrants to purchase a number
of shares of the Company's common stock, $.0001 par value per share ("Common
Stock"), at an exercise price of $1.50, equal to the number of shares of Common
Stock purchased by DKR prior to March 1, 2005 pursuant to the terms of the
Amendments. Specifically, subject to the terms and conditions in the Agreements,
the parties have agreed:

         o   That DKR shall purchase no less than an aggregate of 1,500,000
             shares of Common Stock by exercising Common Stock Purchase Warrant,
             as amended, no later than February 7, 2005.

         o   That the exercise price of the Replacement Warrants issued to DKR
             pursuant to the Amendments shall be reduced from $1.50 per share to
             $0.50 per share.

         o   That DKR waives any default or potential default that the
             Amendments may otherwise have caused under those certain Secured 8%
             Convertible Notes made by the Company and payable to DKR executed
             in connection with the September 21, 2004, private placement, and
             any other defaults under the other transaction contracts and
             agreements between DKR and the Company that may arise out of the
             Amendments.

The parties have further agreed that DKR shall have piggy-back registration
rights with regard to the shares of Common Stock underlying the Replacement
Warrants.

seven hundred fifty (2,943,750) shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of
$0.60 per share at any time and from time to time through, February 7, 2010.

         The Warrants contain a provision granting certain piggy-back
registration rights to the holders of the Warrants for the shares of Common
Stock underlying the Warrants.

         The Company received no consideration for the issuance of the Warrants.

Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Southridge Partners LP, Harborview Master
Fund LP, Richard Rosenblum and David Stefansky are stockholders of the Company
and "accredited investors" within the meaning of Regulation D.

ACQUISITION

On February 14, 2005, Markland entered into definitive agreements with Technest
Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation ("Technest"), a public company with no
revenue and minimal assets and operations, Genex Technologies, Inc. ("Genex"),
and the certain investors, which resulted in Markland acquiring controlling
interests in Technest simultaneous with and conditioned upon the Technest
acquisition of Genex. In accordance with the terms of the Markland Securities
Purchase Agreement on February 14, 2005, Technest issued a controlling interest
to Markland in exchange for 10,168,764 shares of Markland common stock and
Markland agreed to issue additional shares of common stock upon conversion of
Technest's Series B Preferred Stock. Immediately after the acquisition by
Markland of a controlling interest in Technest, certain investors paid
$5,000,000 in cash for shares of Technest Series B Preferred Stock, five-year
warrants to purchase Technest common stock, and shares of Technest Series C
Convertible Preferred Stock. The acquisition of Genex was effected pursuant to
an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated February 14, 2005, by and among Markland,
Technest, Mtech Acquisition, Inc. ("MTECH"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Technest, Genex and Jason Geng, the sole stockholder of Genex. As a result of
the merger, all of the outstanding shares of the capital stock of Genex were
automatically converted into the right to receive in the aggregate (i) $3
million; (ii) 10,168,764 shares of Markland's common stock (the shares of
Markland common stock issued to Technest); and (iii) if earned, contingent
payments in the form of additional shares of Technest common stock. In addition,
Mr. Geng received a six month unsecured promissory note in the principal amount
of $276,317 that pays interest at the rate of 6% per annum.

Genex is a supplier of advanced imaging, surveillance and security sensor
technologies. The impact of this acquisition has not been determined at this
time.

                                     PART II

                     INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

ITEM 24.          INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

         Section 607.0850 the Florida Business Corporation Act permits the
indemnification of directors and officers of Florida corporations. Our charter
provides that we shall indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest
extent permitted by Florida law.

         Under Florida law, we have the power to indemnify our directors and
officers against claims arising in connection with their service to us except
when an director's or officer's conduct involves: (a) violations of criminal
laws, unless the director had reasonable cause to believe his conduct was lawful
or had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful; (b) deriving an
improper personal benefit from a transaction; (c) voting for or assenting to an
unlawful distribution; or (d) willful misconduct or conscious disregard for our
best interests in a proceeding by or in the right of a shareholder.

         In addition, we have entered into employment agreements with our
directors and officers that contain provisions requiring us to indemnify them to
the fullest extent permitted by Florida law. The indemnification agreements
require us to indemnify our directors and officers to the extent permitted by
our charter and to advance their expenses incurred in connection with a
proceeding with respect to which they are entitled to indemnification.

         Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act may be permitted to our directors, officers or persons in control pursuant
to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the act and is therefore unenforceable.

         Article II, Section 4 of our bylaws limits the liability of current and
former directors for monetary damages if they have acted in good faith and
conformed to a standard of reasonable care. Furthermore, and notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in our charter or bylaws, Section 607.0831 of the
Florida Business Corporation Act limits the liability of directors for monetary
damages for any statement, vote, decision or failure to act relating to
management or policy of us unless he or she breached or failed to perform her
duties as a director, and the breach or failure constitutes:

         (a) a violation of criminal law, unless the director had reasonable
cause to believe the conduct was lawful or had no reasonable cause to believe it
was unlawful;

         (b) a transaction from which the director derived an improper personal
benefit;

         (c) an unlawful distribution;

         (d) in a proceeding by or in the right of us or one or more of our
shareholders, conscious disregard for our best interests or willful misconduct;
or

         (e) in a proceeding brought by someone other than us or one or more of
our shareholders, recklessness or an act or omission committed in bad faith,
with malicious purpose, or in a manner exhibiting willful disregard of human
rights, safety or property.

         We have purchased insurance with respect to, among other things, the
liabilities that may arise under the statutory provisions referred to above. Our
directors and officers are also insured against particular liabilities,
including some liabilities arising under the Securities Act, which might be
incurred by them in such capacities and against which they are not indemnified
by us.

                                      II-1

                                      2003

         At various times during 2003, we issued to our employees, directors and

          (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that
          which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of
          the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of
          prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in
          the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than
          a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the
          "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration
          statement; and

                  (iii) Include any additional or changed material information
          on the plan of distribution.

         (2) For determining liability under the Securities Act, treat each
post-effective amendment as a new registration statement of the securities
offered, and the offering of the securities at that time to be the initial bona
fide offering.

         (3) File a post-effective amendment to remove from registration any of
the securities that remain unsold at the end of the offering.

(b) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the small
business issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the small
business issuer has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and
Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed
in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
