Universal Guardian Q1 2007 Results and Investor Update
NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., May 23, 2007 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- Universal Guardian Holdings, Inc. ( UGHO ), an emerging global leader in non-lethal protection products, integrated transportation and global supply chain security systems, and strategic security services to protect against terrorist, criminal, and security threats to governments and businesses worldwide, provides Q1 2007 results and an investor update.
"We have delivered consistent year over year revenue increases -- from $4.1 million in 2004, $14 million in 2005, $21.8 million in 2006 and we expect to deliver $37 million in 2007," stated Michael Skellern, CEO of Universal Guardian ( www.universalguardian.com). "We have consistently narrowed operating losses while investing in research and development of our patented, patent pending products, and integrated asset visibility and security systems, which are now being launched into international markets," added, Mr. Skellern.
"Universal Guardian Services Group expected a $25 million government contract award in late 2006 that was ultimately re-bid and lost to a competitor in late March 2007, resulting in extraordinary mobilization costs that were reflected in our Q1 2007 financial results," stated Kevin Westcott, Universal Guardian's COO. "A significant portion of our G&A expenses in FY2006 and Q1 2007 can be attributed to our Cobra StunLight infomercial development and media costs, the development of our Total Asset Guardian RFID systems ( www.tag3.com), as well as mobilization and demobilization costs of Universal Guardian Services Group. To date we have reduced our G&A expenses in each of our business units, and our corporate headquarters by more than $1 million," continued Mr. Westcott.
Since the close of Q1 2007, Universal Guardian Service Group has earned new and expanded contracts including AED for $6.7 million, MPRI for $1.5 million and PAE-HSC for $1.7 million.
"Universal Guardian's products, Cobra StunLight infomercial call response and cost per call, have been greater than expected. However we have experienced call-center capacity issues which have resulted in lower than projected Cobra StunLight(TM) sales of $157,836 versus our plan of $194,538. Accordingly, unit sales missed plan by 6.3% in Q1," stated Charlie Dey, Universal's Director of Marketing. "We have added a new call center and refined our infomercial, which is now beginning to show marked improvements, and we are confident that we can deliver more than $7 million in infomercial sales in 2007."
Universal Guardian Systems Group launched its subscription-based TAGeasy(TM) e-commerce Department of Defense (DoD) RFID system at the DoD RFID Summit in Washington, D.C. in April 2007 and has since signed up more than ten (10) new customers and received more than 100 new inquires. Universal's TAGstation(TM), its web-based RFID portal, has a pilot program scheduled with a major international retailer and planned distribution with a national packaging supplier to industry and government.

Red Chip Takes a Second Look at UGHO
For over 15 years RedChip has been dedicated to “discovering tomorrow’s blue chips today™.” RedChip’s long history of success includes research coverage on Starbucks™, Nike™, MarketWatch.com™, Daktronics™ and many other companies before they were Blue Chips.
The Sad Case of Bad Timing and Insider Selling
Insider selling can decimate a micro-cap stock. It can put the healthiest stock on its back and turn the most loyal investor against the perceived offender. It can turn love to hate, joy to anger, laughter to tears, and worst of all it can turn buyers into sellers and believers into short-sellers.
There is a time and a season for everything … For those forlorn souls who have positioned in Universal Guardian, NASDAQ OTC: UGHO, which I strongly encouraged only one blog ago, I pray thee stay in for the long-term, for the worst is over.
In my opinion, this wrecked ship of a stock has sunk as low as can it go. The CEO has sold approximately 166,000 shares over the last two months, but he is not the real culprit here, if there is a culprit. Michael Skellern founded the Company five years ago, invested hundreds of thousands of dollars of his own money, and in the early years went months at a time without a salary as he built UGHO one bullet at a time. I asked him why he sold. His answer was not of the complex sort: “I needed the money,” he said. He has on the other hand, chalked up ten consecutive quarters of revenue growth, reduced his SG&A, launched several new defense products and appears to be marching towards another record revenue quarter. Here the recent interview with him on RedChip Radio.

Our valuation is based on projections of double-digit revenue growth again in FY2007.
``If the Cobra StunLight(tm) meets the Company's revenue projections, revenue should surpass $30 million and growth in other business segments could meet our estimate of over $32.0 million. The StunLight margins should enhance gross profit margins, leading to an operating breakeven for the year, based on containing operating expenses at the levels experienced in 2006. The result could be an operating breakeven in 2007 with visible profitability in FY2008.''

Universal Guardian Expects More Than $8 Million in Revenue for FY 2007 from Cobra StunLight(TM) Sales
NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., April 9, 2007 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- Universal Guardian Holdings, Inc. ( UGHO ), an emerging global leader in non- lethal protection products, integrated transportation and global supply chain security systems, and strategic security services to protect against terrorist, criminal, and security threats to governments and businesses worldwide, updates investors on the progress of its Cobra StunLight(TM) infomercial and commercial sales.
Michael Skellern, Universal Guardian's CEO said, "We are experiencing significant Cobra StunLight(TM) sales increases as we continue to ramp-up and fine-tune our national infomercial and commercial campaign. We are extremely encouraged about continuing improvements in our performance metrics as they bolster what we've known for some time now - namely that the Cobra StunLight(TM) will continue to be a strong source of increasing revenue and profits for the Company for many years to come. Our average selling price is very strong, hovering north of $310.00 per order. We are generating over 1,000 calls per week that are resulting in an average cost per call of approximately $17.00, and a response rate that has increased 33 percent over the past two weeks. We expect to generate more than $8 million dollars in Cobra StunLight(TM) sales by the end of FY 2007 with these new infomercial and commercial campaigns".
Keith Winsell, Vice President of Consumer Marketing said, "We are very pleased by the initial performance of the Cobra StunLight(TM) DRTV consumer program. Our experience dictates that several key metrics are indicative of a very successful program and are exceeding expectations in several areas. For example, we are experiencing an average sales price that indicates the customers' willingness to either purchase multiple units or add extra Cobra Stream(TM) pepper spray and practice canisters to their orders. Mr. Winsell continued, "Our average cost per call has become very cost-effective and as an added bonus, the consumer program is driving professional response, with several inquiries from law enforcement agencies."
Charlie Dey, Marketing Director, commented, "As with any good direct marketing campaign, we constantly monitor media and performance to optimize our media investment. Recent upgrades to the Cobra StunLight(TM) website have resulted in significant increases in web sales activity. We are also working on the refinement of our conversion process by incorporating a direct mail campaign to capture orders beyond the initial DRTV response. We plan to continue to expand the direct response program as we drive greater sales through increased sales conversion and media efficiencies."
Mr. Winsell added, "The new 60 second, 2 minute, and half hour infomercials represent a significant investment by Universal Guardian and involved one of the best production companies in the business, Big Shot Pictures, which has 3 of the top 10 infomercials on television today, including Bowflex and NutriSystem," stated Keith Winsell, Universal Guardian's VP of Consumer Marketing. "Our Cobra StunLight(TM) infomercials and commercials showcase the unique self-protection and safety advantages that only the Cobra StunLight(TM) can deliver".
"This is an exciting company with tremendous potential", stated Mr. Winsell. "We look forward to honing the marketing and communications programs for Universal Guardian and expect them to help position the Company as the recognized global leader in each business sector they address." Mr. Winsell continued.
The patented Cobra StunLight(TM) is a 3-in-1 personal protection device, used by consumers, international law enforcement agencies, and security professionals around the world. The Cobra StunLight offers escalating use-of- force to debilitate one or more assailants through the use of a high-intensity LED flashlight, a psychologically deterring red laser aiming device, and launches a ballistic stream of pepper spray from safe distances of up to 20'.

Universal Guardian will present its Total Asset Guardian asset visibility and security platform and its TAG3(TM) RFID systems as part of the SUMMIT. TAG3(TM) RFID systems meet Department of Defense and global retail (EPC) RFID labeling mandates.

This about kills any L.A. deal for UGHO. See below:
LOS ANGELES — Los Angeles police will soon be outfitted with a cutting edge flashlight that is not only brighter than others, but too small to be used as a weapon.
The idea for the 7060 LED flashlight was conceived just days after news cameras broadcast images of LAPD officers beating car-theft suspect Stanley Miller with a two-pound, two-foot long standard issue police flashlight.
Police Chief William Bratton banned the large flashlights after Miller's 2004 beating and called for manufacturers to create a smaller, brighter flashlight.
The new 10-inch, $100 flashlight was developed and manufactured by the Torrance-based company Pelican to meet LAPD specifications. It will feature both a standard "patrol mode" and an ultra-light "tactical mode" that is bright enough to temporarily blind suspects.
Bratton is scheduled to unveil the new flashlights Friday.
Ramona Ripston, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Southern California, praised the LAPD for the equipment change.
"It's a really important step in the right direction, and it's going to make a difference in how the police department deals with the community," she said. "We've always felt that a flashlight was not an instrument to beat people with. This new one will serve the purpose it was intended to."
Universal Guardian Launches Nationwide Cobra StunLight Television Media Campaign
National Commercials and Infomercials To Generate Substantial Revenue
NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., March 14, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Universal Guardian Holdings, Inc. (OTC BB:UGHO.OB - News), an emerging global leader in non-lethal protection products, integrated transportation and global supply chain security systems and strategic security services to protect against terrorist, criminal and security threats to governments and businesses worldwide, announced today that it has launched its new Cobra StunLight(tm) commercials and infomercials on local broadcast television and national cable networks across the United States.
``After two months of media testing and focus we are proud to launch our Cobra StunLight(tm) infomercials and high impact television commercials to consumers across the country who seek to protect themselves and their loved ones from assailants while in their homes, vehicles and businesses,'' stated Michael Skellern, Universal Guardian's CEO. ``We believe that our new commercials and infomercials will translate into substantial revenue and profits as we clearly demonstrate the everyday use, safety and effectiveness of the Cobra StunLight(tm) to millions of potential customers throughout the nation,'' added Mr. Skellern.
``The new 60 second, 2 minute and half hour infomercials represents a significant investment by Universal Guardian and involved one of the best production companies in the business, including Big Shot Pictures which has 3 of the top 10 infomercials on television today, including Bowflex and Nutrisystems'' stated Keith Winsell, Universal Gaurdian's VP of Marketing. ``Our Cobra StunLight(tm) infomercials and commercials showcase the unique self-protection and safety advantages that only the Cobra StunLight(tm) can deliver,'' added Mr. Winsell.

TAGeasy Platform Generates Subscription-Based Recurring Revenue for Universal Guardian
NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., March 6, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Universal Guardian Holdings, Inc., (UGHO) an emerging global leader in non-lethal protection products, integrated transportation and global supply chain security systems and strategic security services to protect against terrorist, criminal and security threats to governments and businesses worldwide, announced today that its innovative TAGeasy(tm) web-based RFID system is now available to more than 60,000 suppliers of the United States Department of Defense (DoD), all of whom must comply with current mandates that require all shipments to the DoD to have RFID labels. Universal Guardian's Department of Defense (DoD) approved TAGeasy(tm) web-based software application allows shippers to easily and immediately meet DoD shipping requirements with little or no capital investment.
"TAGeasy(tm) is just that... easy! Simply sign-up for a secure on-line account, enter the shipping details, and TAGeasy(tm) programs and prints the supplier's customized RFID labels at our service center and ships them overnight, ready for the supplier to simply attach and ship. In addition, TAGeasy(tm) automatically generates Automated Shipment Notices (ASN) over the Internet," stated Michael Skellern, Universal Guardian's CEO. "TAGeasy(tm) enables small to medium size DoD suppliers to cost-effectively RFID label or "tag" individual unit level goods, cases, and pallets. Most DoD suppliers are small to medium size businesses that typically don't have the budget, staff, or capital resources to invest in a complex RFID infrastructure," added Mr. Skellern.
"Ease-of-use and the ability to get personalized support through TAGeasy(tm) made it easy for us to affordably order RFID labels over the Internet," said Gene Schuler, President of Santee Supply a provider of military packaging solutions for the United States Department of Defense.
TAGeasy(tm) is part of Universal Guardian's Total Asset Guardian(tm) (TAG3) asset visibility and management platform (www.tag3.com). The TAGeasy(tm) platform generates subscription-based, recurring revenue for the Company, and provides businesses of all sizes with a growth plan and a migration path to Universal Guardian's integrated and interoperable TAGstation(tm) web-hosted RFID systems solution and its TAGcentral(tm) enterprise level RFID systems solution. Both TAGstation(tm) and TAGcentral(tm) provide key ERP integration as well as strong systems and back-end support.
The worldwide RFID market size is estimated to exceed $4 billion by 2008, up from just $500 million dollars in 2007.

CIBER and Universal Guardian Announce Global Teaming Agreement
MCLEAN, Va., Feb 22, 2007 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- CIBER, Inc. (NYSE: CBR) today announced its Federal Physical Security Business and Universal Guardian Holdings, Inc. (OTC: UGHO.OB) have executed a Global Teaming Agreement. The purpose is to jointly promote CIBER's Harbor Management and Security System (HMS) for Maritime Domain Awareness, Port Safety, Port Security, and Port Operations with Universal Guardian's strategic security services and integrated global supply chain visibility systems.
(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20010927/CBRLOGO)
CIBER's Federal Security Business Unit offers the HMS System as a robust client-configured, integrated solution featuring intelligent radar, intelligent video, intelligent sonar, Automated Identification System (AIS), three modes of secure command and control (C2) situational displays (for C2 centers, mobile patrol boats, and Web-based users), notices of arrival, invoicing, scheduling, MARSEC level alert management, and training management. The HMS System was designed to be scalable and utilizes post incident replay, fusion of real-time data, and alarm zone alert distribution and management to deliver enhanced waterside and landside security capabilities. As such, the system presents a unified common operations picture that can disseminate user-defined information among numerous local, state, federal and commercial stakeholders.
Universal Guardian Systems provides the Total Asset Guardian(TM)(TAG3) platform for secure, reliable tagging at RFID Item/Carton/Pallet level for authentication and integration of GPS/GPRS/SAT visibility devices. Universal Guardian Services provides TAG3 with security assessments, threat and vulnerability evaluations, asset protection, anti-counterfeiting investigations, and insured services for Global Supply Chains, focusing on logistics and intermodal transportation.
Universal Guardian's experience in providing integrated port security solutions, coupled with their TAG3 platform, provides the HMS System solution with a real advantage in securing port operations and facilities while simultaneously improving port and shipping operations. By integrating RFID Source Tagging at the manufacturer level into the HMS system, CIBER can offer real-time chain of custody and visibility coupled with specific security information to private sector companies, port authorities, terminal operators and government agencies on a local, regional, national, and international level. This unique approach offers single-point access to various users and user groups interested in accessing defined data sets. In such a secure, integrated environment a foundation can be established upon which efficiencies of scale can be gained simultaneously delivering enhanced maritime security.
The opportunity to combine the CIBER HMS solution with the Total Asset Guardian(TM) platform strengthens Universal Guardian's systems offerings and provides Universal Guardian's services group with additional value add capabilities to leverage the firm's international presence in Europe, Middle East, Africa, Central Asia and Asia Pacific Maritime Security markets.

Executives

Presentation
Michael Skellern
Universal Guardian is one of the few international or global security companies that are out there. There are very few players in this sector. If you look at the industry it's very fragmented. Generally, it's fragmented locally, regionally, and somewhat nationally, again, very few players on a global basis.
What we've done is we've developed a series of nonlethal protection products, integrated supply chain visibility on security solutions, and couple that with our services group, which provides high-level tactical and strategic security to the US government, Canadian government, British government, Dutch government, a number of major governments around the world, as well as multinationals, several multinationals, US-based multinationals, European-based multinationals, in the construction, engineering, and petroleum industries, ExxonMobil, as well as some of the European oil companies.
But what we do is we protect people, government and industry against multiple terrorist, criminal and security threats. Again, product, systems and services, one of the things that you'll note, is that our customer base is pretty much the same. Even though these are three separate businesses, they are all integrated and they all feed in through our services group.
Now the services group principally or extensively provides all of the revenue to-date in the company. We had nine consecutive quarter-over-quarter revenue increases. We continue to perform in that sector. We are now -- we've now turned the corner even on the services business where we've got double-digit EBIT forthcoming and that will increase this year.
What's important is that the products and systems are now -- after four years of development, now just hitting the market. I'm going to go through each one of these products and services, but it's critical to realize that we've spent a lot of money developing these over the past four years. We now have a global footprint. We now have channels of distribution that have primed the pump to drive these products and systems out to a large and well defined global market.
We have an exceptional Board. In addition to myself as the Founder and Chief Executive Officer at Universal Guardian, we've got Dr. Mel Brashears, President and Chief Operating Officer at Universal Guardian -- formerly of Lockheed Martin. I wish I was $16 billion a year right now. But he ran $16 billion a year and 35,000 employees, 38,000 employees.
Mike Bozarth, who is the Senior Partner for the Finance and Banking sector of Accenture, and then we've got Dr. Ken Merchant, who is Former Harvard Business Professor and Chair of the Deloitte Accountancy at USC's Marshall School of Business. He is also Auditor as you can see. Richard Clarke, you see Richard Clarke on TV. You've seen him in front of Congress.
When you start taking a look at the Board and you look at these individuals, what do they see in this company? They see the global opportunity. They see the global requirement for an integrated search security company. Roger Cressey, Head of US Counterterrorism Policy at the National Security Council. Both Roger on NBC News, you see Richard Clarke on ABC News a lot as well.
Cliff Roth is an interesting character. He probably knows more people in and outside of government than anybody we've ever seen. He sits on most of the Maritime Security Organization, our Security Councils and Committees. He was the Attorney for the American Association of Port Authorities, the Attorney and General Corporate Counsel for Sea-Land, which was acquired then by CSX and then Dubai World Ports. So a lot of expertise in the global supply chain in the maritime arena.
Colonel John Alexander, Retired Special Forces Colonel, still sits on the Army Science Board, still a paid consultant in the US Special Operations Command, and a noted expert in nonlethal with military and law enforcement worldwide.
Now we've just added recently Police Commissioner Rocco Diina from Buffalo, New York. He was also the President of the Major City Police Chiefs Association. He is a member of the International Association of Chiefs of Police. And he was an International FBI Academy Instructor, well placed -- a real believer in the Cobra StunLight, our lead nonlethal product. So as you can see, we've got a world class Board and influential and world renowned Board of Advisors.
Our advantage, pure and simple the global market opportunity that very few people have addressed today. It's a multi-billion dollar market, which I'll show you with some of the other comparable growth competitors. Management, we talked about. We've got a sustainable competitive advantage here.
And the fact that we've got patented -- we've got a real strong portfolio of patented and patent-pending products. So our intellectual property portfolio is exceptionally strong. That's the base that we wanted to establish in products and systems to drive it -- to drive the market. Eventually, what we'll do is look at strategic acquisitions to compliment that base.
We already have billion-dollar US companies that are now -- the light bulb has gone on, and they say, you know, this is a global market, it is a global threat, it is a global market opportunity. And they're now approaching us.
The model, both on products and systems, recurring revenue, subscription-based systems, and again, nine consecutive quarters through the third quarter of last year, and we expect to have revenues this year that exceed $21 million.
We have to-date, currently, over $50 million in new contracts on top of this that have been submitted. I'm not going to weight the probability of that, but I would say that I'm confident that we'll secure at least half of that. I'm confident. And again, these are projections.

[Question Inaudible]
Michael Skellern
No, that's over -- that's included in the $50 million but it's not fully reflected in the $50 million, if you know what I mean. I mean I'm really looking at handicapping that substantially to be conservative on the numbers.
If you add the 50 to the 20, then you're at 70 plus the products plus the systems. So I'm not going to go there, but if you do the math -- I mean, you know, the chances of getting 100% of the $50 million plus that we've submitted is probably not realistic. I'd love it if it was, but I'm not going to go there.
So sector growth comparisons. Global Security. Armor Holdings is probably the closest company that would profile RS in the fact that they were in this safety product, tactical products non-lethal. But look at the growth, I mean, you're talking about $197 million in 2001 by 2005 it was $1.7 billion. A lot of that was through acquisition but it was also through organic growth.
Taser, you're familiar with Taser, lot of controversy, I would definitely classify that as less-lethal product, not a non-lethal product. But look that the revenue, they targeted at the Law Enforcement Community. There are 670 law enforcement officials in the US, at state and local, not counting federal.
Federal is, you know, it's less than a 1 million. So when you look at the available market, look at -- that's principally driven by US Law Enforcement. But they -- that's not an everyday used product. It's a specialty product. And it's used generally by supervisors.
But what Taser's has helped us do is, in all of this is really broaden our horizon and the awareness of non-lethal and the opportunity for non-lethal. Uniquely, there were possessions on a global basis better than any of the very few non-lethal manufacturers that were in the business.
Savi Technologies, great example of RFID, closed system in other words, their raters, their software, their hardware, their tax, they've been the principal go to technology provider for the Department of Defense. The estimated revenue was about $15 to $20 million.
Now, granted that they had a $280 million contract over five years that they were working on before we came along. And they were just sold to Lockheed for $400 million. So it gives you an idea the kind of valuations that are out there. That will not have the spike in growth that products will but this industry is going from $500 million estimated last year by the industry experts to $4.2 billion in 2008. You know, we've got our programs addressed exactly that ramp.
On the Service side, DynCrop again, look at the growth, 2002 to 2006, $750 million to $2 billion. By the way, DynCorp was acquired by Veritas, an investment bank at New York, because they realized where the service business is going to go on a global basis.
Cobra StunLight. Go ahead. I'm going to show you the -- an Infomercial that -- I'm going to give you just a clip of it.
[Video Commercial].
We've produced a 28-minute infomercial with three different scenarios and pods. I just gave you a clip of the -- a couple of minutes of the infomercial. We've got two versions of a two-minute infomercial and we've got three advertising spots that we've developed.
This infomercial, if you -- if it looks similar to some of the other ones like Bowflex out there, then you're right. I get the two -- two of the marketing guys out of Bowflex that were responsible for driving Bowflex from $2 million to $680 million in direct response TV. So that's where they -- what we've done in developing that infomercial.
Now again, what's important to note is that we're launching the products now. I mean we start at the low, slow and painful sales cycle of law enforcement, 17,000 agencies in this country, each with their own test and evaluation program, each with their own politics and budget. So it was a very painful sales cycle, but we stayed the course so we could get that professional use credibility.
The LA Sheriff study is going to come out this week, or we're hoping it's going to come out this week. We know it's finished and it's been printed. But they did a study with the StunLight and some others, but the StunLight clearly lowered the use or excessive use of force claims by suspects in the department over the period of time. So it's effective, it's durable and they've adopted it.
Several other police agencies around the world have adopted it Mexican Federal Police are starting this month to deploy it in several of their states. Major cities in foreign countries, Istanbul, Turkey, just completing their test and evaluation program, very positive.
So this is a critical juncture, as I said, at the onset. We're rolling these programs, the products and systems out today. In Phoenix, the ad starts on the 21st. By the end of March, we're going to be in 100 major markets in the United States. And so, this is a pivotal time for the company as it rolls out, so it's just on the forefront.
We have other products behind this. As I said it's been used by -- and you can go to www.cobrastunlight.com to order one if you'd like. And if you give me your card before you leave, what I'll do is I'm going to draw two of them out and I'm going to give away two of the Cobra StunLights that I have here at the show
Some other product called the Riot Defender we've been working on. We've had the weapon done for a long time. If it looks like a modified paintball gun it is. A paintball hits you at about four to five foot pounds of pressures. This hits you at 15-foot pounds and explodes. It's a plastic projectile with powdered pepper in it. So you feel like you've been short, you can't see, you can't breathe. Other than that, you're okay.
But the important thing is that that unlike the -- and what this is principally designed for is civil disturbance in riot control. And its -- there's tremendous interest. We've been developing the projectile. We have the navy's patent for a projectile, never could really effectively get it to work the way we wanted to. It's better than the only single competitor in the marketplace today.
But we’ve take and improved on that and developed a new patent-pending projectile that has almost twice the range, and we expect to be at almost half the price of the only competitor out there currently in the US doing over $16 million a year estimated. And it’s a product company so we don’t know for sure.
But that’s also a great close combat training tool. But this is -- again, this is law enforcement in military. This is not necessarily a consumer product.
Systems, Total Asset Guardian, we’ve developed to integrate the interoperable asset visibility. We did the Navy’s first integrated interoperable port security program. Unfortunately, they decided after we got kind of thrown out with the bathwater and because we kept saying that you’ve got to expand into the whole threat environment.
And they’ve gone back over the past two years, and they developed a new methodology for doing it, incorporating what we presented to them in 2003. We did most of the threat and vulnerability assessments around the world for the Navy’s ports. So we’re really on the forefront of maritime security as well with our systems.
But what we’ve decided to do is go back and take it right to the point of origin. So we can track products or shipments from the point of origin to the point of delivery anywhere in the world. We can provide electronic manifests. We can speed the whole process. What we can demonstrate with this product -- and we’ve done it with the Department of Defense.
Department of Defense has certified this program for their 43,000 suppliers that are now just starting to be RFID, Radio Frequency Identification, compliant by September 30, 2008. So we’ve got a lot of proprietary technology built into this system that is really leading-edge.
It -- as one defense logistics agency official said to us when we showed up with it a few months ago, they said, “Where in the hell have you guys been?” And so they have really supported and helped us get the certification. And we provide a lot of efficiency to the government.
First program that we have rolled out last week is the TAGeasy e-commerce. So you don’t need a 100,000 or 300,000 capital investment as a DoD supplier to be compliant. You get online like you would in a real account sign-up, and we print the labels through a service bureau.
We deliver them overnight. And we’re fraction of the cost of the couple of competitors have been trying to address this market. And we do so at very strong margins. Again, DoD-certified, no capital investment, that can be RFID-compliant tomorrow.
TAGstation deployed printer model, just like a cell phone or a Xerox printer. You pay for the equipment. We give you 500 free labels. Let me back up just for a second. RFID label is a radio frequency identification microchip with an antenna embedded in a label. The label is blank with the chip embedded in it.
Our system programs the chip at the same time that it prints the label to the customer specification. Every label -- it also prints the barcode so that you can read the barcode. You can also read electronically. So you can use it for any system in use today anywhere in the world. And now, you can have the RFID capability of it.
So what it does is the printer and the software programs each label as it comes through the printer. We take these labels. We overnight them to the DoD supplier. So he is RFID-compliant tomorrow with his shipment.
As his business grows or as his requirements grow, then he goes to the next growth path, and that’s TAGstation onsite-managed RFID printer. Again, like a Xerox machine, you lease it on a monthly basis, giving 500 free tags at pay-per-click or per-label beyond that.
TAGcentral is our Enterprise Level Software, sells depending on the size of the organization anywhere from $50 or $0.5 million. So these are all developed internally. We produced this technology and it's now rolling out to the Department of Defense, Wal-Mart suppliers, Target, Metro in Europe. Again, we can tag anywhere in the world. Pardon me?

[Question Inaudible]
Michael Skellern
To give you an example, there is a supplier who is trying to sell to DoD right now, and he has been selling suppliers over the past couple of months that's $10 a label, and $50 for the advance shipping notice. Okay? We're under a $1, and we charge $995 per shipment for the ASN because we can electronically generate it, they can't.
So we electronically generate all this including the manifest for customs. Electronically, it's easy step one, two, three. We've taken a very complex process and simplified it, which is always the challenging technology. And you know, so you start with go to tag3.com, you can get online, right after you a buy Cobra StunLight, you can go to tag3.com and take a look at this. And you kind of walk through the whole DoD or the commercial program.
Here is what I was talking about with the label embedded. See this. This is the antenna and this is the chip, right here and here is the label with a barcode. So the printer customizes the information required by Wal-Mart or by the Department of Defense and then prints it then they go in the box right here.
Our strategic security service, I touched on earlier with the onset, threaten vulnerability assessments, and then, risk analysis, we do that. We do it for governments. We do it for multi-national businesses. And we do it for, you know, for critical infrastructure. We do the Central Bank in Afghanistan. We do, as I said, the US Army Department of State, Canadian Government. We do -- remember and we also provide that close protection for government and business clients.
The second piece is an organic developed product that if you see the kidnap for ransom and extortion, we were the operational backend for people like Kroll. We negotiated with the kidnapers or the terrorist on behalf of the insurance company's trying recover somebody.
But now what we've done is we've taken out and rather they do it St. Paul's and AIG and Kroll, we've linked up with Lloyds of London to be able to vertically integrate that. The lead in -- if any of you have ever seen the movie "Proof of Life" with Russell Crowe and Meg Ryan. This is after the guy that -- our guy that heads this group, retired British Special Forces Officer who did this for six years from South America to Mexico to Africa and Europe.
So we now have this. We're going to this with our client base. So we've got a built-in client base that we can take this to. So it's another vertical integrated product opportunity without having to invest in it.
Again here is our part of our client list. You take products and systems. Here is our scheduled launches you can see. You look at what's happening here. All of this is occurring right now starting in January, February, March. So the opportunity is pretty significant.
In summary, recurring revenue business model, strong intellectual property, strong clients, most of our contracts are long-term, one to five years, revenue generating operations around the world, major television infomercials starting next week, substantial profit opportunity. We're going cash flow positive this year and profitable at yearend.
Even our service group, as I said earlier, is their EBIT is in the double-digits as you'll see when we break it out this year.
Any questions before I close?

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., Dec 12, 2006 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- Universal Guardian Holdings, Inc. ( UGHO ), an emerging global leader in non-lethal protection products, integrated transportation and global supply chain security systems and strategic security services to protect against terrorist, criminal and security threats to governments and businesses worldwide, announced today that it raised $5 million in financing through the issuance of convertible notes and warrants to fund the launch of several marketing initiatives, including direct-to-consumer commercials as well as an infomercial for the Cobra StunLight(TM). The debentures can be converted at the option of the holder into Universal common stock, include interest at the rate of 6% and mature in two years. Maxim Group LLC, a New York headquartered investment banking firm, served as the exclusive placement agent for the transaction.
"The recent approval of our Cobra StunLight(TM) by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department for use by its 16,000 deputies reinforces the credibility and effectiveness of our product for sale to the significantly larger consumer market," stated Michael Skellern, Universal CEO. "We intend to use the funds raised through the financing to support several, government, retail and consumer markets initiatives," Mr. Skellern added.
"Our research tells us that many consumers want two Cobra StunLights(TM), one for the home and the other for their car or truck," stated Keith Winsell, Universal's Vice President of Marketing. "With more than 100 million U.S. households, 57% of which have 2 or more cars, we believe that there is enormous market potential for the sale of the non-lethal Cobra StunLight(TM).
