In related news, the Company reported that the Board of Directors named Dave Owen, ICOP's CEO and Director, as the new Chairman of the Board, replacing Charles A. Ross, Sr. who on June 15, 2006 announced his intention to resign from the Board of Directors, effective as of the 2006 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Mr. Ross expressed his desire to dedicate his full-time efforts and attention to his other business pursuits. In addition, the Board expanded COO Laura Owen's leadership role with the additional appointment as Company President.

In an informal presentation to attendees of the Annual Meeting, Dave Owen elaborated on the Company's steady growth progression, prevailing sales and marketing initiatives, and plans for expanding the product platform. "Since officially launching commercial operations in June of 2005 with the national roll-out of the ICOP Model 20/20, ICOP has focused on executing strategies designed to achieve brand and product awareness and rapid market penetration. Today, with customers in 43 states, it is evident that our strategies are working. The increasing strength of new customer growth is squarely matched by the steady flow of reorders we are receiving from existing customers implementing full fleet deployments."

Continuing, Owen noted, "Moreover, the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) Minimum Specifications document for in-car video will become effective on August 13, 2006. The ICOP Model 20/20 is in the enviable position of meeting virtually all of the material specifications noted. As a consequence, we expect this will serve to promote even greater growth opportunities in the law enforcement sector for our Company well into the foreseeable future, and we are ready."

"Now that we have established a strong foothold in the law enforcement market, we have begun to turn our attention to expanding the markets that ICOP serves. With the formation of our new military sales unit, coupled with the addition of Colonel DeProspero to our Advisory Board, we are implementing plans to replicate and refine our marketing approach used to promote product sales in law enforcement to begin capturing market share of the military and homeland security mobile surveillance industries. In addition, we are engaged in field testing with select mass transit companies, in which we are demonstrating the advanced functionality and system capabilities of our mobile solutions. All things considered, by balancing and continuing to reinforce our key objectives, 2006 is proving to be a banner year for ICOP," concluded Owen.
