NEAH POWER SYSTEMS ANNOUNCES AGREEMENT TO ACQUIRE
EXIGENT SECURITY PRODUCTS, INC
Companies to Focus on Sensors Related to Homeland Security and Grid-Independent Power
Bothell, WA. – May 11, 2011 – Neah Power Systems, Inc. (OTCQB: NEAH.QB) (“Neah Power”) today announced that it had signed a non-binding letter of intent to acquire privately-held Exigent Security Products, Inc. ESP (www.espsensors.com), which is based in Illinois, markets and develops advanced radiation sensors for use by medical, homeland security, defense and other industries. ESP has also begun introducing its radiation detector products in Japan and other regions where concerns with radiation have risen recently.
ESP has sold product to US government and security agencies, self-storage facilities, and hospitals across the United States. ESP’s radiation detection systems integrate networks of sensors controlled by Web-enabled management and messaging systems. The companies believe that a business combination will enable them to combine offerings of fuel cell and radiation detector products in order to provide power for remote and continuous sensor applications. “We believe that a product offering that combines networks of security sensors with reliable, continuous fuel cell power will provide further differentiation to our products and additional opportunities in the market place.” stated Frank O’Connor, CEO of ESP.
"ESP and Neah are dedicated to developing integrated protection systems leveraging both the advanced technology from ESP as well as the award-winning, patented Silicon-based fuel cell systems from Neah Power” said Chris D’Couto, CEO of Neah.
The companies intend to complete due diligence expeditiously and provide periodic updates about the progress of the acquisition and upcoming products and market opportunities.
