Universal Guardian to Spin-off Its Systems Business

As Tagistics Corporation, the spin-off will continue to operate under existing management in place since 2004 providing RFID on-demand solutions.

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., Nov. 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Universal Guardian Holdings, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: UGHO - News), an emerging global leader in non-lethal protection products and strategic security services to protect against terrorist, criminal, and security threats, today announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to spin-off its systems business.

The transaction is expected to close by the end of November and consists of the transfer and sale of Universal Guardian's systems group's RFID business assets to Tagistics Corporation. "The spin-off will allow each company to focus on its core business -- Tagistics on RFID on-demand solutions and Universal Guardian on security through its products and services divisions," said Kevin Westcott, President and COO of Universal Guardian.

"Tagistics' mission remains unchanged following the spin-off," stated Herbert P. Goertz, CEO of Tagistics. "Tagistics is superbly positioned as the only RFID on-demand solution provider in the United States. We have secured financing with new strategic partners and will operate the company with a management team that has been working together in the RFID technology sector since 2004."

The terms include $1,000,000.00 in cash and a secured note, an assumption and release of certain liabilities as well as the provision of hosting services by Tagistics. Universal Guardian will also own 5% of Tagistics Corporation. "We are extremely excited about retaining an equity stake in Tagistics with the tremendous opportunities which we believe exist in the RFID market," Westcott said. "With the business in the hands of former Universal Guardian's Systems Group senior executives, we believe that Tagistics has the ability to develop significant value."

After the spin-off, Universal Guardian will consist of two business groups:


-- UG Services Group which provides integrated strategic and tactical
security solutions which generated over $20 million in revenue in 2006;
and,
-- UG Products Group which designs, manufactures, and distributes
non-lethal products for law enforcement, military, professional
security, and consumers. The Group's first product, the Cobra
StunLight(TM) is being sold globally.
