'Homeland Security Market is Ripe for Consolidation'

POINT ROBERTS, Wash., February 3rd, 2006 - www.HomelandDefenseStocks.com and
www.NationalHomelandSecurityKnowledgebase.com, global investor and industry news
portals for the homeland defense and security sector, present the Spade Defense
Index Monthly Update.Track trends and stay up to the minute with events in the
defense sector provided by Scott Sacknoff, President of the Spade Defense Index
(AMEX: ^DXS) http://www.spadeindex.com.The Spade Defense Index® is a modified
capitalization-weighted index comprised of publicly traded companies that benchmarks
the performance of companies involved with the defense, homeland security, and space
marketplace.

In his recent interviews Mr. Sacknoff discussed defense industry trends, the growing
expectation for industry consolidation, the anticipated FY-07 Homeland Security
Budget, as well the view that the run for homeland security is not over.

"There have been great gains in the past few years and many believe that a slowdown
in growth is expected. Is the sector set to decline? I think it is unlikely. Just
look at the world events in the past few weeks. Even as the administration states
that we are winding down our operations in Iraq, new situations are arising. If
anything, the region appears to becoming more destabilized. For those investing in
defense and security and worried about an overall real-dollar reduction in the
upcoming budget, it does not appear that this will be an issue," states Sacknoff.
