GLOBALOPTIONS GROUP, INC. ANNOUNCES SECOND QUARTER RESULTS
COMPLETES ACQUISITION OF CBR AND EXPANDS PRESENCE TO 10 OFFICES NATIONWIDE
NEW YORK - AUGUST 15, 2005 - GLOBALOPTIONS GROUP, INC. (OTCBB: GLOI), a leading
provider of domestic and international risk mitigation services, today announced
unaudited results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2005. The
company also announced that it has completed its acquisition of Confidential
Business Resources, Inc. (CBR). Global Options, with the completion of the CBR
acquisition, now has more than 60 licensed investigators, and operates from 10
offices nationwide, including: Anaheim, Chicago, Dallas, Detroit, Nashville, New
York, Orlando, Philadelphia, Sacramento, and Washington D.C.
"During the second quarter, we achieved a number of important steps toward our
goal of becoming the leading integrated risk mitigation company and dominant
brand within the highly fragmented multi-billion dollar risk mitigation
industry", stated Dr. Harvey W. Schiller, chairman of GlobalOptions. "Most
recently, we acquired CBR, which specializes in intelligence gathering,
surveillance and investigation services, and complements the other risk
mitigation services we currently provide. As a result, we now offer much greater
depth through our comprehensive suite of services including: Investigations &
Litigation Support; Risk Management & Security; and Crisis Management".
Dr. Schiller concluded, "With this strong foundation in place, we have already
identified additional acquisition targets to further enhance our service
offering and expand our geographic presence, which will help us achieve our
revenue target of at least $100 million within the next 18 to 24 months. As
companies are acquired, we plan to eliminate redundant costs and consolidate
back-office responsibilities, which will free management to focus on customer
addition and retention. With the heightened security threats facing global
corporations, governments, and high profile individuals around the world,
GlobalOptions is well positioned as a one-stop-solution to meet the growing
global demand for domestic and international risk mitigation services".
