   Aegis Assessments Announces Appointment of Former ABM Industries Executives
                               as Sales Directors

    SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 5, 2004--Aegis
Assessments, Inc. (OTCBB:AGSI) announced today that H. Kenneth Edge
has joined the company as Executive Director of Sales and Mauro
Scigliano as the new National Director of Sales as the Company opens
its new National Sales Office in Scottsdale, Arizona. Their extensive
sales and management experience at ABM Industries Incorporated
(NYSE:ABM) the country's largest publicly traded facilities services
contractor, supports Aegis' entry into the commercial security
equipment market. While serving as an Executive Vice President at ABM,
Mr. Edge was responsible for all domestic and international sales and
marketing. He developed and implemented sales strategies and plans
that resulted in revenue growth from $325 million to $1.2 billion
during his tenure. Mr. Edge will be responsible for all Aegis' sales
and marketing activities in the United States and Europe, including
development of a national sales force and new business development in
the commercial facilities sector.
    "The Aegis SafetyNet(TM) line of wireless security products has
almost limitless applications to a very diverse customer base. The
effectiveness of public safety agencies responding to an emergency at
a high-rise building or other commercial facility is highly dependent
upon the integration of public and private emergency systems," Mr.
Edge said. "That's where homeland security is going -- a partnership
between public safety agencies and private security. I am tremendously
excited about building the Company's national sales force and
implementing our marketing plan to bring the SafetyNet(TM) line of
products to facilities managers and private security personnel
nationwide."
    Mr. Scigliano has over 25 years experience in the commercial
facilities industry. As President of a new division, ABM Facility
Services Company, a subsidiary of ABM Industries Incorporated, Mr.
Scigliano demonstrated his ability to implement a national sales and
marketing plan by driving that division's revenues to $162 million.
Working out of Aegis' new National Sales Office, Mr. Scigliano will
develop and oversee an aggressive marketing and sales campaign
designed to drive sales for the Company's products.
    "I have worked closely with Mr. Scigliano for 20 years. His
extensive knowledge of the life safety industry and his proven ability
to generate sales revenues will help Aegis launch its public safety
and life safety product lines in major commercial and industrial
facilities across the country," said Mr. Edge. "The SafetyNet(TM) has
tremendous revenue generating potential in several markets. I believe
SafetyNet(TM) technology will be a valuable new tool for facilities
managers to protect lives and property. We both feel Aegis is in a
position to make a huge impact in improving public safety."
    "Mr. Edge's and Mr. Scigliano's proven sales track records,
coupled with their extensive management experience, will provide Aegis
a significant opportunity to grow the company nationally and
internationally," Eric Johnson, the Company's Chief Executive Officer,
said. "Our sales and marketing plan will position the company to take
advantage of the rapidly emerging homeland security market, which is
projected to grow to over $170 billion in 2006."
