WPCS Acquires Wind Energy Infrastructure Company

Founded in 2006, Lincoln Wind is an engineering company focused on the implementation of meteorological towers that measure the wind capacity of geographic areas prior to the construction of a wind farm. The tower has an anemometer connected to a data collection device that transmits via wireless to a central monitoring station that measures wind performance. The tower is powered by solar energy. Lincoln Wind has developed an outstanding reputation for complete installation services and maintenance of these meteorological towers and components for such customers as British Petroleum, Clipper Wind, Infinity Wind Power and Global Energy Concepts. Historically profitable, Lincoln Wind is projected to achieve approximately $2 million in revenue and $500,000 in earnings before interest and taxes over the next twelve months. Since inception, the company has generated gross margins in the 40% to 45% range. The transaction closed on June 27, 2008. Lincoln Wind will be assimilated directly into Max Engineering, a wholly owned subsidiary of WPCS.

Matthew Cumberworth, Managing Director of Lincoln Wind LLC, commented, "The wind energy market is experiencing significant growth of late and we believe the opportunities are substantial. In order for our company to take advantage of this high growth sector, we wanted to team up with a world class design-build engineering firm that can provide the support and financial resources to capitalize on the abundant opportunities in the wind energy sector.
