Fortress America Acquisition Corporation, incorporated on December 20, 2004, is a development-stage blank check company formed to acquire, through a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition or other similar business combination, an operating business in the homeland security industry. The Company is focusing its efforts on four major phases encompassing global and domestic security threats: planning, prevention, response and recovery. Although the Company may consider a target business in any segment of the homeland security industry, it is focusing on companies with dual-use applications (companies with commercial private sector and homeland security applications) in segments, which include companies that help prepare for a possible attack or disaster, companies that help anticipate and take action to block attacks or avoid or limit the consequences of disasters, companies that help challenge attacks underway or cope with the immediate aftermath of an attack and companies that help restore and reconstruct governments and private enterprises after an attack or disaster. Although Fortress America Acquisition Corporation may consider a target business outside the United States, it is concentrating the search on companies in the United States. The target business candidates have been and will continue to be brought to the Company's attention from various unaffiliated sources that have included or may include investment bankers, venture capital funds, private equity funds, leveraged buyout funds, management buyout funds and other members of the financial community.
