Investment Highlights

  • Wholly owned subsidiary Fortified Data Communications is a leading developer, manufacturer and integrator of technologies which allow critical incident responders and war fighters to transform static location limited network services into dynamic knowledge driven command and control operations centers. The NOMAD product line transfers the latest voice and data communications, mission command, security and mobile mesh networking technologies into rugged tactical command solutions for deployment anywhere in the world.

  • The company reported that it will support FEMA as the agency deploys NOMAD incident command units throughout the country. Most of the NOMAD units will be delivered to Primary Federal Officers in various FEMA regions in order to improve their ability to respond to those in need at times of crisis.
  • Assuming 55.6 million shares issued and outstanding, and a market capitalization of $100mm, the per share price could approach $1.80, according to Analyst Francis Gaskins of IPODesktop.com.
  • President Bush’s fiscal year 2008 budget request for the Department of Homeland Security represents $46.4 billion in funding, an 8% increase over FY 2007.

Subsidiary Businesses Capturing Significant Opportunities

Fortified Holdings is an internationally focused, diversified holding company with a rapidly expanding portfolio of high caliber subsidiaries.

Fortified Data Communications Corp.

Fortified Data Communications Corp. (Fortified DataCom) is a wholly owned subsidiary established by Fortified Holdings to include the acquired business of Z5 Technologies. Fortified DataCom delivers advanced information management and mobile communications technologies to the ‘edge’. As the leader in ruggedized mobile command, control and communications network solutions, Fortified designs, develops, integrates and manufactures solutions which allow critical incident responders and warfighters to transform static location-limited network services into dynamic knowledge-driven command and control operations centers.

Fortified’s NOMAD Platform™ enables demanding mobile users to take total command of challenging situations, even in hostile or remote environments when infrastructure no longer exists. Deployable in less than 5 minutes, the NOMAD incident command package has no equal in its ability to rapidly deliver command and control communications to geographically dispersed personnel. When deployed with other NOMAD units the C4XSB™ creates a self-healing, ad-hoc mesh network (802.11b/g, 4.9Ghz optional) capable of providing up to 54Mbps of network bandwidth over vast geographic areas spanning incident-specific locations, entire cities, and even state wide. With an integrated MIL-STD 810F computer, a 16-hour rechargeable power supply, EV-DO Cellular routing capabilities and broadband satellite connectivity, large teams of mobile users are assured of having real-time access to communications and mission critical data whenever and wherever needed.

Unlike other companies which sell an “office in a box” capable of supporting a single user, Fortified’s product line can support hundreds of users over large geographic regions. The NOMAD Incident Command Platform provides access to mission critical incident management data through redundant backhaul communications capabilities at speeds between 464kbps and 2Mbps whether deployed on a crowded street in Manhattan, an oil platform in the Gulf of Mexico, a remote location in the deserts of Saudi Arabia or on a snow capped mountain in Europe.

Fortified Intelligence Corp.

Fortified Intelligence Corp. specializes in the design and integration of software for enhanced situational awareness and field-based decision support. Combining core technologies with partner and customer applications, Fortified Intelligence is reshaping and improving the way deployed individuals collect, view, manage, protect, share and edit information.

Fortified Labs

Fortified Labs is a research and development subsidiary focused on new products, R&D and the management of licensing agreements and joint venture opportunities.

Fortified Shared Services Group

Fortified Holdings Shared Services Group, or SSG, provides the company's subsidiaries with innovative and effective common services that support the overall organization’s common goal of designing, developing, manufacturing and globally marketing products and solutions. The role of SSG is to efficiently integrate the operating infrastructure of Fortified Holdings and its subsidiaries, allowing business units to focus on customer needs, product development and the global distribution of products and services. SSG will cost effectively provide general management support, investor relations, human resources, financial management, legal support, consolidated IT services and marketing support services for all of Fortified Holdings’ subsidiaries and future acquisitions.


Multiple Billion Dollar Market Opportunities

This Summer the House Homeland Security Appropriations Subcommittee approved a $36.3 billion fiscal 2008 draft spending measure for the Homeland Security Department. FEMA would receive $7.1 billion - $2.1 billion more than the president requested. FEMA's state and local programs, which include most of the department's grant programs, would receive $3.1 billion.

"The bill provides critically needed funding to our states and communities to confront not only the threat of terrorist activity, but also natural disasters and the emergency situations they must deal with every day," said Panel Chairman David E. Price, D-N.C. (Congressional Quarterly, " House Panel Boosts FEMA Funding, Approves Homeland Security Bill", May 18, 2007)

Military

The defense budget for fiscal 2008 requests $481.4 billion in discretionary authority for the Department of Defense base budget, an 11.3% increase over fiscal 2007 and a 62% increase over 2001.

Command, Control, Communications, Computer, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) technologies form the backbone of our national command and military decision-making capability. According to Frost & Sullivan, the US Military is expected to spend $29.01 billion on C4ISR technology by 2010. Spending reached $19.03 billion in 2005 and the market is growing approximately 6% per year.

According to Frost & Sullivan’s “U.S. C4ISR - An Overview of Key Programs” published January 2007, communications equipment for ground forces is the most pressing need for the U.S. C4ISR community today and for the next few years. There is a gap between current equipment that has been worn out by hard use over the last few years and a delay in fielding next generation software defined radios that have been developed at a slower pace and at more expense than was originally planned. The rapid growth and success of commercial wireless networks has also had an unexpectedly important impact on the U.S. tactical networks concept of operations.

Homeland Security

President Bush’s fiscal year 2008 budget request represents $46.4 billion in funding, an 8% increase over the fiscal year 2007 level and nearly a 50% increase in funding since 2003, DHS’s first year of operation. The funding includes $3.2 billion that will be available for first responders for critical elements of preparedness and response.

Deploying solutions for effective crisis management and communications is a high priority for states and cities—and budget dollars are being allocated accordingly. In July U.S. Commerce Secretary Carlos M. Gutierrez and U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff announced $968 million in Public Safety Interoperable Communications (PSIC) Grants to help state and local first responders improve public safety communications and coordination during a natural or man-made disaster. The PSIC grant program will assist public safety agencies in the acquisition, deployment, and training of interoperable communications systems to enhance interoperable communications of voice, data, and/or video signals. (FEMA, “Funds to Help Fire Fighters, Police and Other First Responders Communicate During a Disaster”, July 18, 2007)

"When disaster strikes, first responders must have the tools to communicate," commented Commerce Secretary Gutierrez. "Under this streamlined program, states will be given grants to use technology that will make our cities and states safer."

"Achieving interoperable communications is a major priority for our department and should be a priority for every community across our nation," said Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff. "These grants will help states and cities purchase equipment, conduct training and exercises, and develop effective interoperable communications plans to get this important job done."

Law Enforcement

In the US alone there are an estimated 17,784 law enforcement agencies spread out across federal, state, and local levels of government. Policing and law enforcement services are mainly the jurisdiction of local government, with an estimated 12,666 local police agencies and 3,070 sheriff's departments. Local police include county police, metropolitan police, city, and town police departments. In addition, there are 1,376 special-purpose district police agencies, with jurisdiction over parks, schools, housing, transit, etc. (Bureau of Justice Statistics, 2003). The combined annual budget of US police agencies is approximately $51 billion (Megalinks in Criminal Justice).

Private Security

The global market for private contract security services is projected to advance 7.3% annually through 2010, surpassing $150 billion. The U.S. will remain the largest single consumer of private contract security services, accounting for 30% of total world demand. US demand for private security services is forecast to reach $48.3 billion in 2010. (The Freedonia Group, World Security Services, November 2006)

Fortified Works with the American Red Cross, Microsoft and 3Sharp to Develop Mobile Emergency Shelter Management System

As the 2007 hurricane season reaches its peak for millions of Americans, the American Red Cross and the myriad of federal, state, and local disaster relief agencies are turning to technology to help them respond quickly when disaster strikes. As a result, the American Red Cross is testing a new shelter management system designed to more effectively process shelter registrations and communicate with local government agencies in a time of crisis. This system was developed by 3Sharp, using Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007, the Ecma Office Open XML file formats and Z5 Technologies (now Fortified Data Communications).

A critical component of the solution is the Nomad C4XS command center from Fortified. The Nomad is a mobile command center that runs the Windows Server 2003 operating system. These man portable, self-powered Nomad Servers can be setup in under 4 minutes and provide first responders with instant internet access for through its satellite uplink. The Server also creates a 7 mile wide area network that supports voice, video and data communications for those first responders in the disaster area.

Grow with Fortified Holdings Corporation

The outlook for Fortified Holdings is extremely positive. With its acquisition of Z5 Technologies Fortified Holdings gained a product line of field-based incident management and emergency operations support solutions that are rapidly becoming the industry standard among first responders. With initial sales to high profile, high influence customers including the Department of Homeland Security, the American Red Cross, the U.S Army, the U.S Air Force, the City of New Orleans Police Department, Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Department, Samaritan’s Purse Relief Organization, Taylor Energy and FEMA, increased sales and expanding market penetration both within and outside the United States appear very likely.

Fortified has also gained a top-notch team of managers and advisors—seasoned professionals with access, influence and proven experience within their large, well-funded target markets. The merger enables Fortified Holdings and its subsidiaries including Fortified Data Communications and future acquisitions to access capital, expand operations, incorporate new capabilities, share services and target larger and more global opportunities.

Fortified Holdings Corporation is a rapidly expanding organization that can offer significant benefit to customers and investors alike.
