Henry Bros. Electronics, Inc. Selected by Arizona State and Northern Arizona
Universities to Provide Campus Security Systems



FAIR LAWN, N.J., Aug. 31 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Henry Bros. Electronics,
Inc. (Nasdaq: HBE), a turnkey provider of technology-based integrated
electronic security solutions, today announced that it has contracted with
Arizona State University (ASU) and Northern Arizona University (NAU) (the
"Universities") to provide security services, including the installation,
support, training, upgrade, maintenance and warranty of their integrated
access control and video surveillance systems. The initial contract term is
for one year with the possibility of four successive one-year extensions.
Although the Universities contracted Henry Bros. jointly, all procurement,
transition, and administration or project planning and management are
considered separate. 

Henry Bros. will work with the Universities to modernize and expand their
current systems. ASU has campuses in Tempe, Phoenix, Mesa and Glendale
currently utilizing the ISAAC (Integrated System for ASU Access Control)
system, which is a Lenel OnGuard application, as its mandatory electronic
access control and video standard. Northern Arizona University, located in
Flagstaff, also utilizes the Lenel OnGuard system to meet the University's
current hardware and software standards for door access and video
surveillance.  These systems are being deployed in phases across NAU's primary
campus, with two phases encompassing the University's residence halls already
complete. 

Jim Henry, CEO of Henry Bros. Electronics, commented, "We are very happy to be
working with two of our nation's premier institutions of higher learning. We
have spent a great deal of time ensuring that we have the best teams and
technology in place in order to effectively pursue projects in our service
areas. The ASU and NAU contract falls into our sweet spot, as we have
emphasized building a solid knowledge base on superior service with regard to
campus security. We have a very talented team in Arizona and are committed to
growing our Arizona business."    

Laura Ploughe, Director of University Business Services Business Applications
and Planning at ASU, commented, "The security of our ASU community (its
people, facilities, and assets including intellectual and personal) is
extremely important to us. We therefore organized a team along with NAU and
carefully scrutinized the abilities and reputation of vendors who had
potential to become business partners with us. Henry Bros. stood out in a
competitive selection process above the rest as having the ideal combination
of a skilled and knowledgeable workforce, the most relevant recent technology
offerings, service delivery, and a proven reputation for timely and quality
delivery. We look forward to working with their team."
