Fortified Holdings Completes Over $5 Million in Private Placement Funding

WASHINGTON, DC, Jan 15 (MARKET WIRE) --
Fortified Holdings Corp. (OTCBB: FFDH) ("Fortified" or the "Company") took the
next step toward becoming a market leader in the homeland security, defense and
emergency response industries today by successfully closing on a second tranche
of
its private placement of common stock and warrants. Last week's closing yielded
gross proceeds of just over $4,000,000. When added to the proceeds of an
initial closing conducted in November 2007 (described in Fortified's most recent
Form10-QSB), the total gross proceeds received by the Company in the private
placement now stand at over $5,000,000.

Fortified has previously disclosed its intent to raise between $12,000,000
and
$20,000,000 in the current private placement. The Company anticipates conducting
a
third closing on additional funds within the next 30 days, bringing the total
into the target range.

Alan Hurwitz, CFO of Fortified Holdings, commented: "The speed with which we
were able to raise these funds and the strong relationships we have
established with the investors in the process is a testament to the value we
are creating for our stakeholders. The capital raised strengthens the
Company's financial position today, and more importantly, improves our
ability to execute on our growth acquisition strategy."

The two tranches of the private placement that have closed to date were both
managed for the Company by London-based Falcon Capital LLP. The securities
sold in the private placement consisted of common stock and warrants to
purchase common stock of the Company. The securities that were sold were
priced at $0.40 per unit (each consisting of one share and one warrant), are
not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and were sold only
to
offshore accredited investors. More complete details of the private placement
have been included in a Form 8-K filed on November 11th with the Securities and
Exchange Commission. This press release does not constitute an offer to sell
or the solicitation of an offer to buy securities in any jurisdiction.
