Thread: ***TCHN***Technest HLDGS

Hallo Zusammen,

viele von euch wurden im April auf den Wert aufmerksam, da Markland angekündigt hat Technest Aktien als Dividende auszugeben. Da Technest nun nicht wie angekündigt, ein Listing an der Nasdaq anstrebt, sondern an der Amex, ist die Zuteilung bis zum heutigen Tag nicht erfolgt, dass soll sich aber lt. Unternehmensmeldung vom 25.08. bald ändern. Da Technest den fälligen Jahresabschluß am Montag vorlegen konnte.

Boeing and the Secure Border Initiative Looks to Surveillance, Sensors, Detection and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles Technology as Part of Comprehensive Solution

POINT ROBERTS, WA--(MARKET WIRE)--Oct 17, 2006 -- www.HomelandDefenseStocks.com (HDS), a global investor and industry news portal for the homeland defense and security sector, continues its InvestorIdeas.com(TM) \'Follow the Money\' series with a look into the growth of government funding for the security and defense industry and its positive impact for homeland security and defense stocks.

With the growing level of defense contracts strengthening the market, the much awaited SAIC IPO made a soaring debut last week up $3.18 on its opening day, a gain of approximately 21% from its $15.00 open.

With the recent signing by President George Bush of the Fiscal Year 2007 Homeland Security Appropriations Bill, the Department of Homeland Security will remain well funded as it continues to focus on key areas such as border security, and improvements within FEMA. The bill includes $34.8 billion in regular and emergency appropriations and an "unprecedented level of funding for critical components of our Secure Border Initiative (SBInet)," according to the Department of Homeland Security. This funding will be directed towards 1,500 border patrol agents, 6,700 detention beds, and $1.2 billion for border fencing, vehicle barriers, technology, and tactical infrastructure.

The Secure Border Initiative has been the focus amongst defense firms due to the amount of funding available. SBInet looks to establish a necessary and effective combination of current as well as next generation technology, infrastructure, response systems and staffing to provide a comprehensive border security solution.

Homeland Security stocks appear to have done well with the promise of additional funding. Since the initial announcement of the Secure Border Initiative in November of 2005, several major defense players have seen double digit stock price appreciation. Raytheon Company\'s stock has risen over $13.00 to its current level of $50.80, with Northrop Grumman up $15.51 with its recent close of $69.71. Defense giants Boeing and Lockheed Martin have realized even greater gains with Boeing\'s stock up almost $18.00 since November, and Lockheed\'s stock price rising from $59.98 to yesterday\'s close of $88.60, a gain of $28.62.

The SBInet contract valued at $67 million was recently awarded to aerospace giant Boeing, as the Company beat out proposals from heavy hitters such as Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and Ericsson. Boeing will now take on the task of providing, through in-house technology and subcontractors, a comprehensive border security solution along the north and south borders over the next three years. The systems that will be integrated throughout this deployment will entail surveillance, sensors and detection technology, in addition to various towers, fencing, infrastructure and airborne assets such as Unmanned Aerial Vehicles and satellite imagery.

Boeing will handle the SBInet rollout through a team of defense companies such as Centech, DRS, L3, Lucent and several others. Additional companies will also reap the rewards of this lucrative contract as Boeing begins to issue its subcontracts to outside companies. Boeing\'s stock is up $6.55 since the contract announcement.

This outsourcing trend is likely to continue over the next five years, according to Homeland Security Research Corporation, as the race for market leadership continues and contractors work to meet technological requirements by integrating outside solutions with their own offerings to produce comprehensive systems and take advantage of the flow of money from government funding efforts.

Denis Amato, Executive Vice President and Portfolio Manager with Ancora Advisors, Ancora Homeland Security Mutual Fund, explains, "With a bill now passed and both parties in agreement for the need, border and port security appears to be ready to expand although the debate still rages over whether the security should be at the receiving port or the shipping port. The two biggest companies which should benefit are OSI Systems and American Science and engineering with other smaller companies with new technologies such as Isonics hoping to benefit as well."

As geopolitical tensions continue to escalate in areas such as North Korea, who recently threatened to conduct additional nuclear tests in response to the intervention efforts by the United States, the urgency within the homeland defense and security sector remains certain. "Given the latest focus on the North Korean and Iranian moves toward nuclear capability, the areas of missile defense and radiation detection should be a subject of interest and beneficial for companies in this area such as RAE Systems," states Amato.

Unregistered Sale of Equity Securities, Financial Statements and Exhibi


Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

Grant of Equity Awards to Management

On October 20, 2006, the Board of Directors of Markland Technologies, Inc. (the "Company") approved the grant of certain structured equity awards to management in consideration for significant performance achievements during fiscal 2006. Such awards were made pursuant to Section 4(b) of each officer\'s existing employment agreements with the Company, which enables such officers to participate in any bonus or incentive plans that may be established by the Board from time to time.

The primary achievements during fiscal 2006 that support these awards related to
(i) the Company achieving (on a consolidated basis) organic revenue growth of over 20% from fiscal 2005 to fiscal 2006; (ii) the successful restructuring of the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, which restructuring, among other things, essentially capped the previously unlimited potential dilution associated with conversions; and (iii) the settlement of the Moulton litigation and the related pre-payment of a significant portion of the debt owed to the prior owners of EOIR.

Based on these achievements, the Board granted equity awards to management consisting of two components: (i) shares of new Series F Preferred Stock of the Company, which, as discussed in more detail below, was designed to be a type of incentive-based equity compensation to award future performance with respect to substantial increases in the price of the Company\'s common stock and (ii) conditional grants of shares of common stock of Technest Holdings, Inc. ("Technest") (out of shares currently held by the Company), which would be granted over the course of five years based on continuing employment with the Company (which grants would be subject to acceleration in connection with certain transactions, as set forth in more detail below).

The Series F Preferred Stock, which has no liquidation preference, was designed to be an incentive-based equity award that would reward management only in the event of exceptional future performance that would benefit all stockholders (the Series F Preferred Stock is convertible into the Company\'s common stock (by dividing $1,000 per share by the 5-day average closing price of the common stock at the time of conversion) only if the Company\'s stock price increases to $0.05 per share, which represents an increase of over 635% from the close of the Company\'s stock price on October 19, 2006 ($.0068)), while at the same time preserving the operating cash of the Company (because this award would be in lieu of any potential cash bonus and, as a condition to the award, management was required to agree to forego the right to receive any subsequent cash bonuses they may otherwise be entitled to under their employment agreements with respect to fiscal 2006). With respect to the voting power associated with the Series F Preferred Stock (i.e., each share of Series F Preferred Stock is entitled to 147,059 votes (determined by dividing $1,000 by $.0068) and votes together with the Company\'s common stock), the Board felt that this feature was critical to enable management to have a realistic chance of achieving the milestone stock price set forth in the terms of the Series F Preferred Stock, which again would be in the best interests of all stockholders. For these reasons, the Board felt that the creation and grant of the Series F Preferred Stock to management, both in recognition of past achievement and as an incentive for exceptional future achievement, was in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. A copy of the Articles of Amendment to the Company\'s Articles of Incorporation creating the Series F Preferred Stock is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Accordingly, the Board approved the grant to the following officers of the Company of the number of shares of Series F Preferred Stock set forth opposite their names below:

Robert Tarini (Chief Executive Officer) 650
Gino Pereira (Chief Financial Officer) 700
Total: 1,350


Each officer\'s grant was conditioned on such officer agreeing to waive any subsequent cash bonus such officer may otherwise be entitled under Section 4(g) of such officer\'s existing employment agreement with respect to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006.

As noted above, the Board also approved conditional grants to management of shares of Technest common stock currently held by the Company. These grants were made in consideration of the fiscal 2006 achievements discussed above, but contain significant "vesting" restrictions in that the officers\' will receive such shares in annual 20% increments commencing on the first anniversary of the date hereof only if they remained employees at each such interval (subject to accelerated "vesting" as hereinafter discussed). Specifically, the Board approved the conditional grant to the following officers of the Company of shares of Technest common stock in accordance with the following schedule (provided that each such grant shall occur only if such officer is employed by the Company on the date of such grant):

Shares to Shares to Shares to Shares to Shares to

be be be be be
Officer Granted Granted Granted Granted Granted

(CEO)
Gino Pereira 100,000 100,000 100,000 100,000 100,000
(CFO)


Each such grant shall be vested immediately upon the date of grant. In the event that, during the five-year period commencing on October 20, 2006, (i) the Company no longer retains a majority of the equity ownership and/or voting power of Technest, (ii) there is a "Change of Control" (as defined below) of the Company, or (iii) such officer\'s employment with the Company (in the position set forth in the table above) is terminated by the Company without "Cause" or such officer terminates his own employment (in the position set forth in the table above) for "Good Reason" (as such terms are defined in such officer\'s existing employment agreement or any subsequent employment agreement that replaces such agreement), all stock subject to future grants at the time of such event shall be delivered to such officer and vest immediately. The term "Change of Control" means a change in the majority ownership of the equity and/or voting interests of the Company, or the termination of the majority of the directors on the Board of the Company (as it exists today).

The issuance of the Series F Preferred Stock to the officers of the Company, as described above, was not registered under the Securities Act, but was made in reliance upon the exemptions from registration requirements of the Securities Act set forth in Section 4(2) thereof promulgated thereunder.

Markland Technologies Provides Update on Dividend of Technest Holdings Common Stock
Monday March 5, 5:07 pm ET

Revised Dividend Registration Statement to Be Submitted to SEC

WARWICK, RI--(MARKET WIRE)--Mar 5, 2007 -- Markland Technologies, Inc. (Other OTC:MRKL.PK - News), a company transforming advanced laboratory technology into real-world products, has issued the following update on its planned dividend of shares of Technest Holdings Inc. common stock:

On May 1, 2006, the record date for the dividend distribution, there were 485,944,539 shares of Markland common stock outstanding (determined on an as-converted basis, taking into consideration the conversion of all Markland Series D Preferred Stock outstanding on such date, which by its terms was entitled to participate in such distribution). The planned dividend payout ratio is one (1) share of Technest common stock for every 194 shares of Markland common stock outstanding at the close of business on the record date. No fractional shares will be paid out and holders with fewer than 194 shares will receive no dividend stock. Of the 2,500,000 Technest shares to be issued as part of the dividend distribution, approximately 325,743 shares will be reserved for holders of Markland Series D Preferred Stock outstanding on the record date. As of December 4, 2006, Markland had issued and outstanding all of its authorized common stock of 500 million shares. No more common stock can be issued without a shareholder vote approving an increase in authorized common stock. As of December 4, 2006, the balance of Series D Preferred Stock was cancelled and there are no more shares of Series D Preferred Stock outstanding. As of December 4, 2006, there were no longer any shares of preferred stock outstanding that are convertible into an indeterminate amount of common stock.

As previously announced, the issuance of the Technest dividend shares must be registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission. A registration statement covering the issuance of the Technest dividend shares was originally filed by Technest with the SEC on June 29, 2006. Since then the SEC has been reviewing Technest on another unrelated registration statement. That review has just recently been successfully completed.

Technest is currently working diligently to revise the dividend registration statement to incorporate all comments provided by the SEC with respect to the other registration statement and to include updated financial information and we believe that the revised registration statement for the dividend will be submitted to the SEC within the next week. The SEC then has the right to comment further on the dividend registration statement. Once all SEC comments have been cleared, the registration statement can be declared effective and the dividend distribution can occur.

Furthermore, once the Technest dividend shares are registered with the SEC and a payout date is determined (which is expected to be approximately two business days after the effective date of the registration statement), the NASD will establish the ex-dividend date. The ex-dividend date is the date on or after which a security is traded without the right to receive a specific dividend or distribution. According to the NASD, the ex-dividend date in this case will most likely be the day after the payout date.

Because the NASD has not yet declared an ex-dividend date, any shares of Markland common stock outstanding on the record date (May 1, 2006) that are (or have been) traded after the record date but before the ex-dividend date are (or have been) traded with the right to receive the Technest dividend shares. Shares of Markland common stock traded on or after the ex-dividend date shall be traded without the right to receive any Technest dividend shares.

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction. The distribution will be made only by means of the written prospectus forming part of the effective registration statement.

Crystal Research Associates, LLC Issues Executive Informational Overview(R) (EIO(R)) on Technest Holdings, Inc.
Tuesday March 13, 3:15 pm ET

NEW YORK, March 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Crystal Research Associates, LLC announced today that it has issued an Executive Informational Overview® (EIO®) on Boston, Massachusetts-based Technest Holdings, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: TCNH.OB - News). The full 64-page report can be found at www.crystalra.com and technestinc.com.

Technest Holdings, Inc. ("Technest" or "the Company") provides integrated security solutions primarily for a government and military customer base-specifically, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Department of Defense (DOD), and various other U.S. Intelligence (INTEL) agencies-in an effort to protect the nation's borders, infrastructure, and personnel. In a post-9/11 world, there is little doubt that threats against the U.S. exist and that one of the most effective methods of protecting this country is continued development and advancement of security-based technology. With sophisticated engineering and research and development (R&D), Technest offers differentiated products and services segmented into five technical areas: Advanced Sensor Systems, Imaging and Intelligence Solutions, Operational Management, Intelligent Surveillance, and Chemical and Explosives Detection. The Company operates as two basic components: (1) an incubator for emerging security technologies in the final stages of development, and (2) an acquirer of revenue-generating assets in the security marketplace that have historical positive cash flow but have not yet been optimized. Sitting between a government customer with a long list of needs for fully-integrated solutions and a world of state-of-the-art technology that, alone, has very little value to the consumer, Technest believes it can bridge this gap and transform laboratory technology into real-world products. The Company has two business units: its wholly owned subsidiary, EOIR Technologies, Inc. ("EOIR"), and its Advanced Imaging division. Technest is headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts, with primary manufacturing facilities in Spotsylvania, Virginia.

Markland Technologies Provides Further Update on Dividend of Technest Holdings Common Stock
Friday March 16, 5:46 pm ET

Technest Dividend Registration Statement Submitted to SEC

WARWICK, RI--(MARKET WIRE)--Mar 16, 2007 -- Markland Technologies, Inc. (Other OTC:MRKL.PK - News), a company transforming advanced laboratory technology into real-world products, has issued the following update on its planned dividend of shares of Technest Holdings Inc. common stock:

Technest Holdings Inc. has now submitted the dividend registration statement to the SEC for review.

On August 16, 2005, the Markland board of directors approved the distribution of $10 million of Markland's shares of Technest common stock, up to a maximum of 2.5 million shares, to holders of Markland common stock. To effect the distribution, the Markland board declared a special dividend on Markland common stock for the holders of record as of May 1, 2006. On March 8, 2007, in order to ensure that the previously declared dividend is paid with respect to all 500 million outstanding shares of Markland common stock, the Markland board amended the record date for the distribution from May 1, 2006 to the effective date of the registration statement. As a result, using the previously established distribution ratio, the actual number of shares that may be issued in the dividend was increased from 2,500,000 shares to 2,577,320 shares.

The distribution ratio for the special dividend is .00515464 of a share of Technest common stock for each share of Markland common stock. Accordingly, for every 194 shares of Markland common stock outstanding at the close of business on the record date, one share of Technest common stock will be issued. The aggregate number of shares of Technest common stock that may be issued in the distribution (2,577,320) was calculated by multiplying the number of shares of Markland common stock outstanding of 500 million shares by the distribution ratio. There will be no fractional shares of Technest common stock issued and all share amounts to be distributed will be rounded down to the nearest whole share. Holders of fewer than 194 shares of Markland common stock will receive no shares of Technest common stock. The dividend will be paid within seven business days of the effective date of the registration statement.

Once the Securities and Exchange Commission declares the registration statement effective and a payout date is determined, the NASD will establish the ex-dividend date. The ex-dividend date is the date on or after which a security is traded without the right to receive a specific dividend or distribution. According to the NASD, the ex-dividend date in this case will most likely be the day after the payout date. Because the NASD has not yet declared an ex-dividend date, any shares of Markland common stock outstanding on the record date that are traded after the record date but before the ex-dividend date will be traded with the right to receive the Technest dividend shares. Shares of Markland common stock traded on or after the ex-dividend date shall be traded without the right to receive any Technest dividend shares.

The number of Technest shares to be distributed in the Markland special dividend will represent approximately 15.3 percent of Technest outstanding common stock immediately prior to the distribution. Immediately after the distribution, Technest will have 16,878,979 shares of common stock outstanding. The special dividend of shares of Technest common stock by Markland will not affect the number of outstanding shares of Technest common stock or any rights of Technest stockholders. Upon completion of the special dividend, it is expected that Markland will own approximately 10,876,703 shares of Technest common stock, representing approximately 64.4 percent of the outstanding shares of Technest common stock (prior to giving effect to the required issuance to the former holders of Series D Preferred Stock, as discussed below).

In April 2006, Markland entered into an agreement with the then holders of its Series D Preferred Stock pursuant to which Markland agreed to issue the holders of the Series D Preferred Stock the number of shares of Technest common stock equal to the number thereof that would have been issued to such holders had all of the holders' shares of Series D Preferred Stock been converted into Markland common stock immediately preceding the then record date of May 1, 2006. Pursuant to this agreement, Markland is required to issue its former holders of Series D Preferred Stock 288,633 shares of Technest common stock. Upon completion of the dividend and this issuance to the former Series D holders, Markland will own approximately 10,588,070 shares of Technest common stock, representing approximately 62.7 percent of the outstanding shares of Technest common stock.

MRKL>ILLEGAL DIRECTTORS REWORD THEMSELFS FOR DOWNGRADING MRKL SHAREHOLDERS VALUE

Grant of Equity Awards to Management

On October 20, 2006, the Board of Directors of Markland Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) approved the grant of certain structured equity awards to management in consideration for significant performance achievements during fiscal 2006. Such awards were made pursuant to Section 4(b) of each officer’s existing employment agreements with the Company, which enables such officers to participate in any bonus or incentive plans that may be established by the Board from time to time.

The primary achievements during fiscal 2006 that support these awards related to (i) the Company achieving (on a consolidated basis) organic revenue growth of over 20% from fiscal 2005 to fiscal 2006; (ii) the successful restructuring of the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, which restructuring, among other things, essentially capped the previously unlimited potential dilution associated with conversions; and (iii) the settlement of the Moulton litigation and the related pre-payment of a significant portion of the debt owed to the prior owners of EOIR.

Based on these achievements, the Board granted equity awards to management consisting of two components: (i) shares of new Series F Preferred Stock of the Company, which, as discussed in more detail below, was designed to be a type of incentive-based equity compensation to award future performance with respect to substantial increases in the price of the Company’s common stock and (ii) conditional grants of shares of common stock of Technest Holdings, Inc. (“Technest”) (out of shares currently held by the Company), which would be granted over the course of five years based on continuing employment with the Company (which grants would be subject to acceleration in connection with certain transactions, as set forth in more detail below).

The Series F Preferred Stock, which has no liquidation preference, was designed to be an incentive-based equity award that would reward management only in the event of exceptional future performance that would benefit all stockholders (the Series F Preferred Stock is convertible into the Company’s common stock (by dividing $1,000 per share by the 5-day average closing price of the common stock at the time of conversion) only if the Company’s stock price increases to $0.05 per share, which represents an increase of over 635% from the close of the Company’s stock price on October 19, 2006 ($.0068)), while at the same time preserving the operating cash of the Company (because this award would be in lieu of any potential cash bonus and, as a condition to the award, management was required to agree to forego the right to receive any subsequent cash bonuses they may otherwise be entitled to under their employment agreements with respect to fiscal 2006). With respect to the voting power associated with the Series F Preferred Stock ( i.e ., each share of Series F Preferred Stock is entitled to 147,059 votes (determined by dividing $1,000 by $.0068) and votes together with the Company’s common stock), the Board felt that this feature was critical to enable management to have a realistic chance of achieving the milestone stock price set forth in the terms of the Series F Preferred Stock, which again would be in the best interests of all stockholders. For these reasons, the Board felt that the creation and grant of the Series F Preferred Stock to management, both in recognition of past achievement and as an incentive for exceptional future achievement, was in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. A copy of the Articles of Amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation creating the Series F Preferred Stock is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Technest Holdings Awarded $58 Million in Funding for Two New Delivery Orders From the U.S. Army's Night Vision and Electronic Sensors Directorate
Thursday March 29, 4:00 pm ET


BOSTON, March 29, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Technest Holdings, Inc. (OTC BB:TCNH.OB - News), a defense and homeland security company, announced today that its wholly-owned subsidiary, EOIR Technologies, received delivery orders totaling approximately $58 million to fund two new projects.

Both were awarded on behalf of the U.S. Army's Night Vision and Electronic Sensors Directorate (``NVESD''). The details regarding the delivery orders are sensitive and cannot be disclosed by the Company.
The Near Term IED Detection System delivery order has an eighteen-month performance period and a value of $26.4 million, of which $310,000 was funded upon award. The delivery order provides funds for EOIR labor and materials, as well as support from its subcontractor, Science Applications International Corporation (although the parties have yet to execute a definitive delivery order) (NYSE:SAI - News).

The second award for a Wide Area Surveillance and Improvised Explosive Device Detection System has an eighteen-month performance period and a negotiated value of approximately $31.8 million of which $50,000 was funded upon award. This delivery order provides funds for EOIR labor and materials, as well as support from Northrop Grumman and other subcontractors on EOIR's NVESD omnibus contract.

``These are two exciting contracts for us to be a part of and further establishes our position as a leading contractor for the U.S. military,'' stated Larry Bramlette, Division Director for EOIR Technologies. ``We are pleased to be able to continue the advancement of our sensor technologies used in threat detection. These technologies will help provide U.S. soldiers and peacekeepers the most advanced and efficient equipment available to safely carry out their missions.''

Additionally, EOIR Technologies received $497,000 in incremental funding on existing delivery orders for remote sensor technology products and engineering services under EOIR's NVESD omnibus contract. This increase in funds brings the total funding for the current performance award year, which was awarded on July 19, 2006, to $41.0 million and the total funds for this contract to approximately $291 million.

Markland Technologies Announces Record Date and Distribution Date for Dividend of Technest Holdings Common Stock
Friday April 13, 10:46 am ET
http://biz.yahoo.com/iw/070413/0238515.html?printer=1

WARWICK, RI--(MARKET WIRE)--Apr 13, 2007 -- Markland Technologies, Inc. (Other OTC:MRKL.PK - News), a company transforming advanced laboratory technology into real-world products, has issued the following update on its planned dividend of shares of Technest Holdings Inc. common stock:
The SEC has completed its review of the Technest Holdings Inc. dividend registration statement and, in order to give the NASD sufficient notice, the Company has requested an effective date of April 25, 2007.

As previously announced, on March 8, 2007, in order to ensure that the previously declared dividend is paid with respect to all 500 million outstanding shares of Markland common stock, the Markland board amended the record date for the distribution from May 1, 2006 to the effective date of the registration statement. Accordingly, the record date for the distribution will be April 25, 2007. Based on that record date, the dividend will be paid on May 4, 2007.

The distribution ratio for the special dividend is .00515464 of a share of Technest common stock for each share of Markland common stock. Accordingly, for every 194 shares of Markland common stock outstanding at the close of business on the record date, one share of Technest common stock will be issued. The aggregate number of shares of Technest common stock that may be issued in the distribution (2,577,320 shares) was calculated by multiplying the number of shares of Markland common stock outstanding of 500 million shares by the distribution ratio. There will be no fractional shares of Technest common stock issued and all share amounts to be distributed will be rounded down to the nearest whole share. Holders of fewer than 194 shares of Markland common stock will receive no shares of Technest common stock.

Now that a payout date has been set, the NASD will establish the ex-dividend date. The ex-dividend date is the date on or after which a security is traded without the right to receive a specific dividend or distribution. According to the NASD, the ex-dividend date in this case will most likely be the day after the payout date. Because the NASD has not yet declared an ex-dividend date, any shares of Markland common stock outstanding on the record date that are traded after the record date but before the ex-dividend date will be traded with the right to receive the Technest dividend shares. Shares of Markland common stock traded on or after the ex-dividend date shall be traded without the right to receive any Technest dividend shares.

The number of Technest shares to be distributed in the Markland special dividend will represent approximately 15.3 percent of Technest outstanding common stock immediately prior to the distribution. Immediately after the distribution, Technest will have 16,878,979 shares of common stock outstanding. The special dividend of shares of Technest common stock by Markland will not affect the number of outstanding shares of Technest common stock or any rights of Technest stockholders. Upon completion of the special dividend, it is expected that Markland will own approximately 10,876,703 shares of Technest common stock, representing approximately 64.4 percent of the outstanding shares of Technest common stock (prior to giving effect to the required issuance to the former holders of Series D Preferred Stock, as discussed below).

In April 2006, Markland entered into an agreement with the then holders of its Series D Preferred Stock pursuant to which Markland agreed to issue the holders of the Series D Preferred Stock the number of shares of Technest common stock equal to the number thereof that would have been issued to such holders had all of the holders' shares of Series D Preferred Stock been converted into Markland common stock immediately preceding the then record date of May 1, 2006. Pursuant to this agreement, Markland is required to issue its former holders of Series D Preferred Stock 288,633 shares of Technest common stock. Upon completion of the dividend and this issuance to the former Series D holders, Markland will own approximately 10,588,070 shares of Technest common stock, representing approximately 62.7 percent of the outstanding shares of Technest common stock.

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction. The distribution will be made only by means of the written prospectus forming part of the effective registration statement.

Genau das bedeutet dies und jeder der nächste Woche kauft, sitzt auch mit im Boot. Es gibt allerdings eine Regelung der Sec, dass 3 Tage vor dem effectice date (25.04.07), die Scheinchen im Depot schlummern müssen. Ich bin mir zwar nicht 100%ig sicher, würde aber um sicher zu gehen auch diese Frist beachten.

Auch in Amiland ist wieder überwiegend Zuversicht ausgebrochen, Mrkl. hat schließlich auch angekündigt endlich akutelle Geschäftszahlen zu veröffentlichen. (die letzten sind von 2005)

Hoffen wir mal, dass es jetzt endlich wieder hoch geht und am 04.05.2007, die Divi wirklich eingebucht wird.

Nein leider nicht.

Die Divi letztes Jahr, wurde von der Sec zurückgewiesen und Zahlen von Tcnh nachgefordert. Das Filling wurde im März 07 eingereicht und wurde von der Sec akzeptiert, nun sollte aber wenigstens der Auszahlung der eigentlichen Divi, nichts mehr im Wege stehen.

Tcnh hat sich zwar im Kurs nach unten verabschiedet, jedoch eigenlich gute Verträge abschließen können.

Aber wie gesagt, Risiko ist relativ hoch. Mrkl hat sich in Vergangenheit nicht gerade Aktionärsfreundlich präsentiert. Sollte das alles so seine Richtigkeit haben und Mrkl bald keine desaströsen Zahlen vorlegen, durfte hier eigenlich eine eklantante Unterbewertung vorliegen, eigentlich.

By Brian Edwards, [e-mail]

Markland Technologies, Inc. (MRKL) has issued the following update on its planned dividend of shares of Technest Holdings Inc. common stock. As previously announced, on March 8, 2007, in order to ensure that the previously declared dividend is paid with respect to all 500 million outstanding shares of Markland common stock, the Markland board amended the record date for the distribution from May 1, 2006 to the effective date of the registration statement.

The distribution ratio for the special dividend is .00515464 of a share of Technest common stock for each share of Markland common stock. Accordingly, for every 194 shares of Markland common stock outstanding at the close of business on the record date, one share of Technest common stock will be issued. The aggregate number of shares of Technest common stock that may be issued in the distribution (2,577,320 shares) was calculated by multiplying the number of shares of Markland common stock outstanding of 500 million shares by the distribution ratio. There will be no fractional shares of Technest common stock issued and all share amounts to be distributed will be rounded down to the nearest whole share.

Hey, Mitinvestierte,

Hatte schon damit gerechnet, eine Leiche im Depot liegen zu haben. Bin seit Anfang letzten Jahres investiert und hätte eine Frage: Da die shares ja nicht mehr in Deutschland handelbar sind,ich aber in Frankfurt oder Berlin (weiß nicht mehr) gekauft hatte: Muss ich sie übertragen lassen, um an der Divi zu partizipieren oder kann ich sie einfach so liegenlassen und warten, dass mir die Technester eingebucht werden? Möchte meine shares doch länger halten und da ist mir eigentlich erstmal egal, wo die handelbar sind!

Danke!

[Hohlbrot]

Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 28.903.516 von ShelbyMustang am 19.04.07 17:33:09

Müßte eigentlich alles automatisch ablaufen.

Heute sollten wir ein deutlich höheres Volumen sehen, wenn es stimmt das die Sec vorschreibt, dass die Scheinchen 3 Tage vor dem effectice date (25.04.07) eingebucht sein müssen, wäre Heute die letzte Möglichkeit um an die Divi zu kommen.

Ich hatte mir jedoch schon bis hierher ein höheres Volumen vorgestellt...

Mrkl ist einfach immer noch viel zu undurchsichtig.

As previously announced, the record date for the Company's distribution of Technest common stock is April 25, 2007 and the payment date is May 4, 2007. Based on those dates, the NASD has established an ex-dividend date of May 7, 2007.

The NASD's determination of the ex-dividend date can be found at the following site:

http://www.otcbb.com/asp/dividend.asp?sym_id=MRKL&dDate=04/2…

The ex-dividend date is the date on or after which a security is traded without the right to receive a specific dividend or distribution. Any shares of Markland common stock outstanding on the record date that are traded after the record date but before the ex-dividend date will be traded with the right to receive the Technest dividend shares. Shares of Markland common stock traded on or after the ex-dividend date shall be traded without the right to receive any Technest dividend shares.

As previously announced, the distribution ratio for the special dividend is .00515464 of a share of Technest common stock for each share of Markland common stock. Accordingly, for every 194 shares of Markland common stock outstanding at the close of business on the record date, one share of Technest common stock will be issued. The aggregate number of shares of Technest common stock that may be issued in the distribution (2,577,320 shares) was calculated by multiplying the number of shares of Markland common stock outstanding of 500 million shares by the distribution ratio. There will be no fractional shares of Technest common stock issued and all share amounts to be distributed will be rounded down to the nearest whole share. Holders of fewer than 194 shares of Markland common stock will receive no shares of Technest common stock.

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction. The distribution will be made only by means of the written prospectus forming part of the effective registration statement.

Nee, da steht das wenn du eine Aktie zwischen dem 25.04 und 04.05. verkaufst die du vorher hattest verkaufst du die Divirechte mit...
So seh ich das.

Totale Konfussion

Any shares of Markland common stock outstanding on the record date that are traded after the record date but before the ex-dividend date will be traded with the right to receive the Technest dividend shares.

effective date of April 25, 2007

Aus der Meldung vom 13.04.

Now that a payout date has been set, the NASD will establish the ex-dividend date. The ex-dividend date is the date on or after which a security is traded without the right to receive a specific dividend or distribution. According to the NASD, the ex-dividend date in this case will most likely be the day after the payout date. Because the NASD has not yet declared an ex-dividend date, any shares of Markland common stock outstanding on the record date that are traded after the record date but before the ex-dividend date will be traded with the right to receive the Technest dividend shares. Shares of Markland common stock traded on or after the ex-dividend date shall be traded without the right to receive any Technest dividend shares.

Ex-dividend date - (ex Dividende-Tag)

Der Tag, ab dem ein Wertpapier gehandelt wird, ohne dass die Dividende (bar oder in Aktien) im Abschlusskurs enthalten ist.

Guten Morgen allerseits! Also nach Auskunft meiner Bank ..."erhalten Sie 0,0515464 Aktien der Technest Holdings Inc. für 1 Aktie Markland, die am 04.05.2007 abends in Ihrem Bestand ist".....???? !!!

[elHorno]

Wo ist denn das Problem?
Record-Date ist 25.04. ... Wer am Abend dieses Tages MRKL im Depot hat, erhält die Dividende.
Das Ex-Dividend Date ist der Tag, ab dem die Aktien ex-divi (also abzgl. Dividende) gehandelt werden.
Ist doch alles nichts neues an der Börse ...

Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 29.209.341 von Tripolis am 08.05.07 12:14:03

Nach meiner Rechnung (EX-Divi) ergibt sich für MRKL aktuell ein sattes Plus ...

SK MRKL 05.04. - (aktueller Kurs TCNH/194) = Kurs MRKL Ex-Divi.

0,01 - (0,9/194) = 0,0054

Aktuell steht MRKL bei 0,009, was rein rechnerisch dann +67% sind ... ich habe die Divi zwar noch nicht, doch augenscheinlich hat sich das Geschäft doch gelohnt m.E. ... oder habe ich da einen Denkfehler?

[elHorno]

Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 29.216.276 von elHorno am 08.05.07 17:26:02

Prinzipiell müsste es ja sogar noch mehr sein, da ich die Dividende jetzt schon mit der bereinigten TCNH anrechne. Am Freitag stand TCNH noch viel höher (eben unbereinigt) ...

Ich auch - ebenfalls CC

Und lt. Aussage meiner Bank, werden die Scheinchen in denn nächsten Tagen auch bei mir eingebucht.

Verkaufen tue ich jetzt trotzdem nicht, solange hatte ich noch nie ne Aktie...

bei mir ist es auch irgendwie komisch:
habe 494842 stück eingebucht, zu 0,64 euro wären es 316698 Euro, aber wert steht bei mir 316 Euro.

bestimmt ist denen ein kleiner fehler unterlaufen, ich hoffe aber nicht

[elHorno]

Auf Grund des Zuteilungsverhältnisses wurden auch Bruchstücke eingebucht. Ihr müsst mal richtig hinschauen, anstatt hier von Millionen Stücken zu sprechen. Was ein Komma ist, müsste doch jedem geläufig sein ...

Zur Info hinsichtlich der Bruchstücke:

Diese resultieren einfach aus dem Bezugsverhältnis des Emittenten (194:1), verkaufen lassen sich diese über die Börse aber nicht.
Ihr verkauft einfach den ganzzahligen Anteil, die Bruchstücke werden später automatisch durch den Broker an den Emittenten zurückgegeben, der wiederum den Gegenbetrag auf eurem Verrechnungskonto gutschreibt.

bei mir wurde sie eingebucht (comdirect). wie geht`s denn jetzt weiter? Geht da noch was oder besser alles verkaufen und die verluste realisieren?

[mobil1]

Meine Bank hat eingebucht zu 0,62 Euro / TCNH, für jede Markland = 0,00515464 TCNH

[Hohlbrot]

Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 29.266.861 von mobil1 am 11.05.07 12:01:50

Technest wurde nach denn Zahlen am Freitag geschlachtet... Das Management gab Heute eine Meldung raus, dass der Kursverlauf keinesfalls den Wert der Aktie darstellt...

Verkaufen macht für mich keinen Sinn, allerdings hat der Kurs normalerweise immer Recht. Auch wenn vermutlich Shorts diesen Wert geschlachtet haben.

Technest Holdings Response to Heavy Trading Volume
Monday May 14, 8:30 am ET
http://biz.yahoo.com/iw/070514/0252150.html

BETHESDA, MD--(MARKET WIRE)--May 14, 2007 -- Technest Holdings, Inc. (OTC BB:TCNH.OB - News) a defense and homeland security company, issues the following announcement after extraordinary trading volume on Friday, May 11, 2007.
ADVERTISEMENT


On Friday, May 11, 2007 at approximately 3:30 pm, an extraordinarily high volume of shares of Technest common stock were sold on the OTCBB. The volume during the last 30 minutes of trading was approximately 900,000 shares in contrast to a daily volume of less than 50,000 shares a day since the dividend payment of Technest shares to Markland Technologies shareholders on May 4, 2007. As a result, shares of Technest closed at $0.31 at the end of the day, a decline of over 66% on the previous days close. The management of Technest believes that the value of Technest is not reflected in Friday's closing price and would refer investors to our 10QSB which was filed with the SEC at 4:34 pm on Friday, May 11, 2007. For the third quarter ending March 31, revenues were $17.95 million in 2007 compared to $17.86 million in the same period in 2006. Gross profit for the third quarter was $3.93 million vs. $3.24 million in the third quarter of 2006. The operating loss for the quarter narrowed to $268,926 compared with $795,772 for the same quarter a year ago. The net loss attributable to common shareholders was $0.92 million or $0.05 per share in the quarter ended March 31, 2007 compared to a net loss of $1.52 million or $0.10 per share in the comparative quarter in 2006.

On March 29th, 2007 the Company also announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, EOIR Technologies, received delivery orders totaling approximately $58 million to fund two new projects. The first is for a Near Term IED Detection System and the second is for a Wide Area Surveillance and Improvised Explosive Device Detection System. Both were awarded on behalf of the U.S. Army's Night Vision and Electronic Sensors Directorate ("NVESD").

Technest also continues to evaluate strategic alternatives for the Company and/or its subsidiaries.

Technest Holdings Reports Financial Results for Three Months and Nine Months Ending March 31, 2007
Monday May 14, 7:00 am ET


BETHESDA, MD--(MARKET WIRE)--May 14, 2007 -- Technest Holdings, Inc. (OTC BB:TCNH.OB - News), a defense and homeland security company, announced today its operating results for the Company's third quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2007. The complete filing is available at www.sec.gov.




For the third quarter ending March 31, revenues were $17.95 million in 2007 compared to $17.86 million in the same period in 2006. Gross profit for the third quarter was $3.93 million vs. $3.24 million in the third quarter of 2006. The operating loss for the quarter narrowed to $268,926 compared with $795,772 for the same quarter a year ago. The net loss attributable to common shareholders was $0.92 million or $0.05 per share in 2007 compared to a net loss of $1.52 million or $0.10 per share in the third quarter of 2006. For the nine months ending March 31, revenues were $53.67 million vs. $55.14 million for the same nine months in 2006. Gross profit for the nine months in 2007 was $11.00 million compared to $10.30 million during the same period in 2006. The operating loss for the nine month period was $1.59 million compared with $1.08 million for the same period a year ago. The net loss attributable to common shareholders for the nine months ended March 31, 2007 was $4.67 million or $0.28 per share in 2007 compared to a net profit of $21.73 million or $1.36 per share in the same nine months in 2006. The net profit in 2006 was due primarily to a non-cash derivative income in the amount of $25.05 million representing the change in fair value of certain warrants issued by Technest in February 2005. Non-cash charges included in the loss for the nine months ended March 31, 2007 were $5.59 million and net non-cash income for the same period in 2006 was $21.61 million.

Dr. Joseph Mackin, President and CEO, Technest Holdings, commented, "Overall, we are pleased with our third quarter, where our gross profit improvement was due to a larger percentage of high margin services provided compared with lower margin material procurement contracts. Our funded backlog remains strong at over $44 million and we have additional awarded but as yet unfunded contracts in excess of $122 million. Going forward, we expect to execute additional military contracts in the fourth quarter that have been previously awarded but are awaiting processing. These processing delays were the primary cause of our shortfall in revenue in the nine months ended March 31, 2007 compared to the previous year."

ITEM 1.01 Entry into Material Definitive Agreements
On June 1, 2007, Technest Holdings, Inc. (the \"Company\") closed on a financing pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement dated May 31, 2007 with Shelter Island Opportunity Fund, LLP (\"Shelter Island\"). Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company issued to Shelter Island a Secured Original Issue Discount Debenture bearing interest at the rate of 11.25% (or Prime +3%) with an aggregate principal amount of $1,650,000 (the \"Debenture\") for a subscription amount of $1,500,000. The Debenture is due on May 31, 2010, unless otherwise accelerated by its terms. The outstanding principal amount and all accrued interest thereon will be payable in 33 equal monthly installments commencing on August 31, 2007. On the maturity date of the Debenture, the Company also agreed to pay, as a termination fee (and not as a penalty), an amount equal to the product of (i) $45,000 and (ii) the number of months that have elapsed between May 31, 2007 and the date such payment is made by the Company to Shelter Island.

The Company\'s wholly-owned subsidiaries, Genex and E-OIR Technologies, Inc. (\"EOIR\"), guaranteed the Debenture.

The outstanding EOIR note holders subordinated their security interest and their right to receive payment in the event of default under the terms of the Debenture to Shelter Island.
