BREMERTON, Wash. - (BUSINESS WIRE) - Aug. 28, 2006 - GHL Technologies, Inc. (Pink Sheets:GHLT - News), a holding company focusing on acquisitions, strategic alliances, and partnerships with companies on the cutting edge of the GPS and telematics industry, today announced that it has signed a memorandum of understanding to acquire 100 percent of Icom Telecommunications Ltd., a UK-based provider of structured cabling solutions as well as maintenance, management and support services. GHL intends to purchase ICOM shares under a tax beneficial exchange or via stock using restricted 144 shares of GHLT.

ICOM provides such technology-based solutions as telephone systems, voice and data cabling, electrical systems, and power products to mid-sized enterprise and government clients throughout the United Kingdom. ICOM's average monthly revenues exceed GBP 250,000; therefore, at the current exchange rate of 1.89 GBP to 1.00 USD, this merger is anticipated to add an immediate $5.5 million gross sales infusion to GHL. ICOM has been profitable for three years and will continue the implementation of its IT-focused business model as it expands a newly created GPS division with guidance from GHL's management team.

"Through internal growth coupled with this acquisition, GHL intends to substantially increase its balance sheet and income statement by year's end," said Gene Hew-Len, CEO and founder of GHL Technologies. "ICOM maintains hundreds of contracts and contacts throughout the United Kingdom, and by leveraging GHL's expertise in the GPS space, ICOM's recent expansion into GPS services will almost certainly lead to countless new sales contracts in the United Kingdom and elsewhere."

"ICOM's key focus is on existing BT systems, and we offer a vastly discounted rate over BT's prices without compromising the quality of service that customers have come to expect in today's market. Our staff and management are pleased to be finalizing the terms and conditions for joining GHL Technologies as a core subsidiary," added John Donoghue, managing director at ICOM.

Projected to be completed by the end of this year, the purchase will be implemented by GHL's agent, Balmoral Financial Services Companies, headquartered in Dublin, Ohio.

With the assistance of Balmoral Financial Services, GHL will form information statements and finalize the requirements to merge ICOM and other companies into GHL Technologies. GHL intends to complete this merger during the fall of 2006, pending regulatory approval. ICOM is a UK-based company with audited financials for the past three years.
