H-Quotient Announces Distribution Details

VIENNA, VA, Feb 22, 2006 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) -- H-Quotient, Inc., ( HQNT ) has completed distribution of one share of Standard Holdings Group Ltd. (SNDH) for every two shares of H-Quotient, Inc., for stockholders of record as of December 30, 2005. The SNDH shares are restricted for two years or until a registration is filed and accepted.

Advisory: Because the SNDH shares are restricted, they can only be delivered in certificate form. They cannot be delivered electronically. Some brokerage firms anticipated delivery and accordingly displayed this in their customer accounts. However, the only way for H-Quotient stockholders to be certain that they have received the SNDH shares is to demand physical delivery of the SNDH certificates from the broker. The broker must deliver your shares to you. Statements such as, "The shares are restricted and not deliverable," are incorrect. In fact, brokers who have shorted the stock do not have enough shares to distribute, which is why such brokers employ various machinations to avoid making delivery.

Note: On April 27, 2005, H-Quotient, Inc., announced that it "paid a cash dividend of $.55 in the form of one share of Standard Holdings Group Ltd. (SNDH) stock for every 10 shares of H-Quotient stock. The value was established by H-Quotient's auditors based upon the price of Standard Holdings Group Ltd. at the time the dividend was announced, February 17, 2005. Therefore, the Standard Holdings shares paid as dividends are being treated as $.55 for tax purposes." The Company has been informed that some brokerage firms distributed 1099 forms indicating a higher basis price. They are incorrect, and shareholders should refer them to this notice and the Company's transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer and Trust Co. at (212) 509-4000.

This announcement may contain, in addition to historical information, certain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Such statements reflect management's current views and are based on certain assumptions. Actual results could differ materially from the assumptions currently anticipated.
