"This email is a follow-up to your inquiry from last week regarding additional information on our firm, Safeguard Security Holdings, Inc. I wanted to take a moment to further update you on our progress with our corporate governance and business operations.

I responded to your email while I was on travel last week and needless to say, I was rushed in my response. Therefore, I wanted to take the time today to give you a better understanding of how we have strengthened our senior management team and what that means for our Company.

As was announced in Q2 this year, our Board appointed Shelly Anderson as Vice President of Operations for the subsidiary companies of Safeguard. As such, she is responsible to see that our Company's management control expenses and manage our overall business operations effectively and efficiently. She comes to us from a major utility company with an extensive background in security and investigative management and is a key member of our senior management staff. We are excited to have her on board!

We recently announced two new business units. SEARCHglobal (which is our web-based background investigations company) and our new residential division of SGI Protective Services. You will see additional business announcements in the future regarding these two new divisions, and I am excited to see that these businesses add the additional growth opportunities to our current base of business. These new units compliment our existing security service offerings and diversify our business income.

Our websites are under construction and should be finished by the end of December 2009. They will display the most current information on the Company and will also contain our monthly newsletter which will give you and other shareholders a look at current activities and announcements within the Company. Our first newsletter is scheduled for publication in early January 2010. Also, our new Company brochure will be online and it will have other links posted to it to give you more dynamic information on our overall operations and Company activities.

I appreciate your interest in our Company as we continue to build one of the best security enterprises in the marketplace. Our service is unique in the industry and I feel confident of our team's success.

Please do not hesitate to call upon me at (214) 922-9040 or (214) 560-2268, should you have any questions or concerns about our businesses. If I am not in the office, please ask to speak with my assistant, Ms. Erin Dennis. She will see that I receive your message. I appreciate the opportunity to be of service."

All the best,

Michael

Buzz up! 0 Print
DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Safeguard Security Holdings, Inc. (OTC:SSHS), a provider of corporate and industrial security systems and personnel, announced today that it has expanded its services into the extensive high-rise residential market through its SGI Protective Services division in Dallas, Texas. The business unit is expected to grow rapidly through its existing relationships with its commercial clients, which have real estate holdings in the high-rise residential market.

The newly formed division specializes in guard and patrol services to the luxury high-rise residential properties located in downtown, midtown and uptown Dallas. The DFW metroplex is experiencing a tremendous amount of newly completed residential construction projects in its urban areas; and in all apartment styles including luxury high-rises, condos, townhomes, and lofts. Many properties were completed in 2009, and more properties will be completed in 2010, thus providing a substantial need for specialized security services.

Safeguard’s CEO, R. Michael Lagow, stated, “Our strategic plan is to diversify our revenue base and grow our wholly owned business units organically with our existing sales staff, and through acquisitions. SGI’s new residential security division is indeed in step with our overall strategic plan and promises to bring another $1.5 million in profitable revenue to our firm in 2010. Our existing client base presented this opportunity to us, so we can’t take full credit for entering into this new market.” Lagow added, “We have also expanded our SEARCHglobal division, which specializes in web-based background checks, and we will be making announcements within the next few days regarding our most recent acquisition. These two expanded service units are accretive to the Company’s overall value and supports Safeguard’s long-term development strategy.”

All things considered, it was a good day on Friday. The A/S here is 500M. Company just announced 32M+ in revenue spread over 5 years. That's 6.4M per year. Even if the O/S was maxed out; (500M)/6.4M = .0128 per share. Now we all know that the O/S is nowhere near 500M. Most would agree that its probably not even over 100M. 100M/6.4M revenue = .064 per share. This is fact. Nothing what I have said so far can be debated. And this does not even factor in any additional revenue that the company is generating.

The second issue concerns whether the company was honest in its last pr. Most of us have seen companies put out pr's that use misleading wording such as letter of intent or the like. However SSHS latest pr was not a letter of intent, or "discussions". They stated that the contract was finalized. So the only question is whether the company would blatently lie that this contract exists. Considering that SSHS has reputable members sitting on their board(high level exec. from TXU, etc.) and that their business dealings have involved verifiable entities, I see no basis to claim that this is a "fake" PR. There have been a few people bashing here. But look at their posts. They base their arguments on opinion as a way to try to generate fear. Why? Because they want to buy SSHS, but theyd prefer to do it at a lower level.

After an initial run of around 300%, it is is expected that the stock did not make a run late in the day, especially on a friday. But the facts speak for themselves. SSHS is undervalued here. IMO it will soon head higher as people recognize the true value. .03, .04, .05, is not unreasonable. VKNG just went from below .01 to .28 after the company became more transparent about its revenues.

Its rare to find a pinky with actual revenues and an actual business, but I think we may have one here.

Even at 0.30-0.35 the market cap would only be 20-30M considering the revenue for the contract it would be still undervalued

Hi bblack1:

Thanks for the posting of the email from the CEO that I copied and pasted below. I believe this company is on the right track. Sounds like this expanded service for the utility company started in the 1Q 2009. We are talking some serious revenue here. I am pretty certain the utility company is TXU Energy: See Link Below Notice on the website:
"TXU Energy is the #1 Choice in Texas, providing electricity and related services to more than 2 million Texas customers"

http://www.txu.com/about/Overview.htm

The wording Matches the PR: Safeguard Security Holdings, Inc. (OTC:SSHS), a provider of corporate and industrial security systems and personnel, announces that its subsidiary, SYSTEMSgroup Protective Services, has entered into a five year agreement, which began Q1 2009, to provide security services for one of Texas’ largest utility companies.
