BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 8, 2006--
Markland Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB: MRKLE), a defense and homeland security company transforming advanced laboratory technology into real-world products, as announced in August 2005, re-iterates its previously declared stock dividend to the holders of the Company's common stock of $10 million worth of shares of Technest Holdings Inc. http://www.technestholdings.com (OTCBB: TCNH) common stock that the Company currently owns, up to a maximum of 2.5 million shares of Technest common stock. The record date for the stock dividend is May 1, 2006 and the distribution date for the stock dividend is July 5, 2006.
The actual number of shares of Technest common stock to be distributed will be calculated based on a per share price equal to the average closing price of the Technest Stock as reported by the National Association of Securities Dealers Automatic Quotations service for the ten trading days ending June 30, 2006. However in no event shall the number of shares of the Technest common stock distributed exceed 2.5 million nor will Markland deliver fractional shares of the Technest common stock. As of this date Markland presently owns 13,954,023 shares of Technest common stock. Markland management is considering alternatives available to it for future dividends to be made to its common shareholders.
The Company is continuing to work on the accounting issues described in the Current Report on Form 8-K issued on February 10, 2006 concerning non-reliance on previously issued financial statements. At this time, there is no further update on when these issues will be addressed. However, the Company intends to restate the financial statements in question as soon as practicable.
