Advanced Communications Acquires Ownership Interest in Investment Management Firm
Thursday January 22, 8:30 am ET


NEW YORK, Jan. 22, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- Advanced Communications Technologies, Inc. (OTC BB:ADVC.OB - News) (``ACT`` or the ``Company``) announced today that on January 14, 2004, Hudson Street Investments, LLC (``Hudson Street Investments``), a newly formed special purpose business entity owned by the Company, acquired a minority interest in Yorkville Advisors Management, LLC (``Yorkville Advisors``), the portfolio manager of Cornell Capital Partners, LP.
The formation of Hudson Street Investments is consistent with management`s restructuring plan to reconfigure ACT into a business enterprise that consists of multiple minority investments in established private and public operating companies, as well as the acquisition of a core operating business. The Company`s overall restructure has been designed to diversify its business interests to create various opportunities to generate net income and value for ACT shareholders.

``Our ownership interest will entitle us to receive a pro rata share of Yorkville Advisors` net profits from asset management, investment banking and financial advisory fees,`` said Wayne I. Danson, ACT`s President and CFO.

Danson continued, ``This strategic business move (the acquired interest in Yorkville Advisors), when coupled with our restructured debt and creditor settlements, has stabilized the Company`s financial picture, and is anticipated by management to create positive cash flow with enough annual profits to put the Company in a long-term, financially sound position.``

When asked about the projected income for 2004 to the Company from this investment Danson replied, ``We anticipate that Hudson Street Investment`s cash flow from its share of the net profits will be more than enough to cover our consolidated annual operating expenses.``

The Company projects that it will report net income of approximately $300,000 for fiscal 2004, as compared with a net loss of $1,869,031 for fiscal 2003.

Danson closed with, ``For the first time in ACT`s history, we will have sufficient liquidity to operate and grow. Our stronger financial position will also enable us to acquire and/or invest in a core operating business with a proven and successful product, part of our reorganization strategy.``

Management is currently in discussion with a business enterprise that it believes is a qualified candidate for future investment or acquisition.

In addition, ACT has formed SpectruCell, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of ACT, to hold the Company`s North and South America marketing and distribution rights to SpectruCell, a software-defined radio (SDR) multiple protocol wireless system, which were acquired in 1999.
