Announces 2008 Full Year Results," issued Tuesday, March 24, by Brekford International Corp. (OTCBB: BFDI), we are advised by the company that the third bullet under "Financial Developments" should read "As of this press release, the Company has settled all pending litigation previously instituted against the Company," instead of "As of this press release, the Company has settled all pending litigation," as originally issued. Complete corrected text follows.

Brekford International Corp. Announces 2008 Full Year Results

Revenues Grow for the Third Consecutive Quarter and Net Income Grows for the Fourth Consecutive Quarter

HANOVER, MD -- March 24, 2008 -- Brekford International Corp. (OTCBB: BFDI), a provider of rugged, mobile technology systems and fleet vehicle upfitting services to public safety and federal agencies, announces financial results for its fiscal fourth quarter and twelve months ended December 31, 2008.

CB Brechin, Chief Executive Officer of Brekford, stated: "Brekford's goals for 2008 were to be profitable, focus on our core strengths, and drive shareholder value. Our 2008 goals remain, while in 2009 we are focusing on our mission of providing our clients with bumper-to-bumper, one-stop shop, fleet upfitting and mobile technology services. This is our core business and what we do best."

2008 Company Highlights

"The company is poised for positive growth now that we have reduced expenses and eliminated unprofitable business lines. We are confident that our state-of-the-art facility, our expertise in rugged mobile technology, our relationships with top technology manufacturers and our commitment to full service upfitting will allow us to reach a broader customer base in the federal agency arena as well as offer additional fleet services to our existing client base. Furthermore, our management firmly believes that new product innovations geared towards first responders, such as our proprietary Slick-Ticket system that can be sold nationwide, will allow Brekford to expand its client base to public safety agencies across the country," said CB Brechin, Chief Executive Officer.

The Company's 2008 results of operations were $13.5 million and a net loss of $1.5 million or $(0.02) per share.

The Company's revenues increased for the third consecutive quarter; unaudited revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2008 was $3.0 million; unaudited revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2008 was $3.2 million; and unaudited revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2008 was $4.1 million. The company's revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2008 increased due to a major upfitting and mobile technology contract with a large Federal Government agency which involved the installation of toughbooks into 188 of their vehicles.

The Company's net income increases and operating losses decrease for the fourth consecutive quarter; unaudited net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $1.0 million; unaudited net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2008 was $0.7 million; unaudited net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2008 was $0.3 million; and unaudited net income for the three months ended December 31, 2008 was $0.5 million.

Business Developments

--  New business development efforts directed at regional and federal
    government were initiated, with efforts focused on total fleet upfitting
    services and raising Brekford brand awareness; and

--  We recently announced the introduction of our Slick-Ticket(TM) product
    in September 2008, which is a fully portable over the seat organizer for
    public safety vehicles, specially designed to house a printer and scanner
    to allow officers to quickly access driver's license and registration
    information as well as issue tickets, warnings and citations. As law
    enforcement agencies migrate to electronic ticketing, we are positioning
    Slick-Ticket(TM) as an essential, cutting-edge component for officers
    looking to streamline their ticketing process while at the same time
    freeing up the limited space available in their vehicles. As of the date of
    this press release, we have sold approximately 900 Slick-Ticket(TM) units.


Financial Developments

--  The company continues to significantly reduce operating expenses;

--  In fourth quarter of 2008, the Company sold the Consumer Technology,
    Training and Armor divisions, enabling further focus on rugged mobile data
    and fleet vehicle upfitting; and

--  As of this press release, the Company has settled all pending
    litigation previously instituted against the Company.
