The CCS Counter Spy Shops Go Public! Real Spy Technology & Spy Toys Go Mainstream

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 17, 2002--CCS International, Ltd., the parent company of The Counter Spy Shops of Mayfair, London(TM) and operator of www.spyzone.com, became a public company today via a reverse merger with Security Intelligence Technology Group (SITG). Financial details were not disclosed.

CCS and The Counter Spy Shops(TM) manufacture and/or provide state-of-the-art security, surveillance, countersurveillance and counter-measure equipment and/or systems for the private citizen, corporations, law enforcement agencies, NATO member countries' armed forces, the international security marketplace and governments worldwide. The company specializes in anti-bugging, anti-wiretapping, covert video & CCTV, night vision, digital lie-detection, scramblers, encryption systems, bullet-resistant clothing, armored vehicles, GPS and RF tracking, cellular monitoring systems and security seminars.

Thomas Felice, chief operating officer and general manager of CCS's Counter Spy Shop retail marketing centers, explained that the decision to become a public company stems from CCS's rapid growth as a result of the new worldwide emphasis on security. Further, he believes that as a public company it will now have the resources to expand it's marketing efforts and distribution network to bring security equipment and personal protection into the mainstream domestic and international markets.

He added, "The unfortunate tragedies have literally forced people to rethink their own personal safety and realize that the doorman, gatekeeper, bodyguard and/or home security system is no longer the final line in personal protection or corporate security. It is literally a new psychological defense posture that Americans are now taking on, worldwide.

"We have been thrust forward into a precarious age, where businesses and private citizens are now dealing with information as their most valuable asset, the theft of which could alter their business, livelihood or even their lifestyle. From internal security threats to personal security surrounding terrorism to identity theft, this new unstable climate fosters an obligation and responsibility to safeguard the things in life that one works so hard to achieve, and can assist in explaining why this business may be the right business to be in at the right time to be in it."

CCS plans to expand using the additional capital generated by the merger with Security Intelligence Technology Group into franchising additional retail locations, (already located in New York, Washington DC, Miami, Beverly Hills, London, Hong Kong, Mexico City & Israel), bringing security equipment and personal protection into the mainstream American market and enlarging it's research & development to produce and/or provide unique security solutions in the everchanging security marketplace. It also plans to widely market the brand name The Counter Spy Shops(TM) as well as Spyzone.com, the company's corporate Website and catalog.

CCS & The Counter Spy Shops(TM) have more than 40 years' experience in the international security field, helping businesses and catering to professionals and lamen alike who demand leading equipment for protection of clients, voice, data and proprietary information. More than just a chain selling James Bond-like gadgets and "boy's toys," the Counter Spy Shops(TM) and it's parent company, CCS International, Ltd., have assisted numerous organizations and events, including the Apollo 11 space mission, Radio Free Europe, major motion picture and television productions (prop, tech and set design), Aston Martin promotions, Fortune 500 Companies concerned about threats to proprietary information, The International Spy Museum, game show prizing and many national and international federal and state government and law enforcement agencies.
