Spectrum Sciences & Software to Provide Precision Manufacturing Support

FAIRFAX, Va. -- Horne International, Inc. (OTCBB:HNIN) today announced that L-3 Communications and Spectrum Sciences & Software, Inc., have reached an agreement for Spectrum to produce precision-manufactured aircraft parts for L-3. Spectrum is a wholly owned subsidiary of Horne International, a leading program engineering and technology solutions company.

The five-year basic ordering agreement includes a two-year base period ending May 8, 2009, with three one-year mutual renewal options.

Spectrum initially will produce flat pattern aircraft parts from customer-provided material on high-precision water-jet machines. These parts will directly support L-3's current domestic and foreign military aircraft sales requirements. The orders placed over the first nine months of the contract will be ordered at guaranteed minimum monthly levels of work, and Spectrum will rapidly produce, inspect, package, and ship the finished parts back to the customer.

Spectrum provides expertise in the area of national defense, with core capabilities in the design and manufacture of aircraft and munitions support equipment. "Spectrum has an excellent track record of delivering high quality products on time and at competitive prices. This long-term contract with L-3 Communications -- the sixth-largest defense company in the United States -- is a testament to Spectrum's past performance under more than 850 contracts," said Darryl K. Horne, President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of Horne International. "We are enhancing Spectrum's manufacturing capabilities to help it meet future contracting opportunities in support of essential federal government requirements."
