ActiveCore President & CEO, Mr. Peter Hamilton stated, "The acquisition of Cratos is a major milestone for ActiveCore. This acquisition completes the first of two major acquisitions for 2005 and will be instrumental in adding critical mass to our data integration operations in North America and will further solidify our market position within the European market. The combination of our current United Kingdom operation under the Twincentric banner with Cratos' operations will give ActiveCore a solid blue-chip customer base establishing long-term relationships and recurring revenues." Under the terms of the Cratos Agreement, ActiveCore will issue approximately 8.9 million shares at USD$0.223 (the 20 day average closing price) and pay CDN$200,000 for 100% of the shares and the intellectual property of Cratos.

Cratos currently projects 2005 sales revenues to be approximately $7,500,000 with an EBITDA of $800,000. Andrew Wickett, CEO of Cratos said, "We are very excited about officially joining the ActiveCore team and believe that this synergistic relationship will allow Cratos to offer its clients a whole new array of products and services, resulting in increased sales. This new relationship will undoubtedly help to expedite the growth of both organizations." Following the issuance of shares for CRATOS there will be approximately 58,900,000 common shares of ActiveCore outstanding with approximately 20,000,000 in the public float. Employees, management and other affiliates hold approximately 65% of the outstanding shares.
