IRVINE, Calif., April 2, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- "The nightly news affirms as much each night, that homeland defense and defense in general are growth markets," said SmallCap Sentinel analyst D.R. Clark. "With a minimum of three active fronts so to speak -- Afghanistan, Iraq and of course, U.S. homeland defense -- added tensions in other arenas only serve to increase interest in the sector.
"The market is populated by many small caps adapting or branding their existing technology as defense-oriented, perhaps wisely so," Clark noted. "And in this deluge of companies looking to chase the growth market dollar, it can be difficult for the lay investor to discern which company has traction and/or the ability to execute its business plan.
"One way is to look at the quality of agreements and military professionals associated with the company," Clark continued. "Seeing a respected Admiral join the advisory board of a small cap separates them in many ways from their less capable competitors. A pattern of such associations begins to define them.
"For example, Aegis Industries, Inc. (OTCBB:AGIN) announced this week that it has been advised by Z5 Technologies -- with which it has a Letter of Intent to merge -- regarding the appointment of Rear Admiral Richard A. Appelbaum, United States Coast Guard (ret.) to its Advisory Board," Clark noted.
