FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:



FORTRESS AMERICA ACQUISITION CORPORATION
AND TSS/VORTECH ANNOUNCE $13.1 MILLION IN NEW BUSINESS FOR FOURTH QUARTER OF 2006
 
ARLINGTON, VA - January 8 , 2007 - Total Site Solutions (TSS) and Vortech, private companies providing comprehensive services for the planning, design, and development of mission critical facilities and information infrastructure, today announced that during the fourth quarter of 2006, they had closed on new business contracts cumulatively representing more than $13.1 million in expected revenue. This revenue, which is expected to be realized in the first six months of 2007, represents a 67.9% sequential increase from the $7.8 million in new business wins in the third quarter of 2006.

TSS and Vortech have agreed to be acquired by Fortress America Acquisition Corporation (OTCBB: FAAC), a special purpose acquisition company. Upon consummation of the acquisition, Tom Rosato, TSS’s Chairman, will become Chief Executive Officer of Fortress America and Harvey Weiss, currently CEO of Fortress America, will become Chairman of the Board. It is expected that, upon consummation of the acquisition, Fortress America will change its name to Fortress International Group, Inc.

The $13.1 million in new business wins arose from more aggressive marketing efforts across all aspects of the TSS/Vortech operations, including construction management, technology consulting, and facilities maintenance, and includes:

 
·
$7.8 million for construction management
 
·
$0.6 million for technology consulting
 
·
$4.7 million for facilities maintenance

Speaking of the new business, Tom Rosato said, “What is especially gratifying about the new business is how much of it developed out of proposals from technology consulting. This validates our strategy to grow our construction management and facilities management business through our suite of services that follow technology consulting. We have always been confident that, after a customer contracts with us for a technology consulting proposal, we have a very high success rate of converting this initial engagement to even larger contracts. For example, of the $7.8 million in new business for construction management, $4.2 million came from a new client who had initially engaged TSS/Vortech in a consulting capacity. The expanded services to be provided to this client include design, engineering, and construction management services. This is the heart of our business model, and we look forward to reporting many more such successes.”
 
 
“The new business is especially relevant because it is proof that the strategy to expand into the commercial marketplace is working,” said Harvey Weiss, CEO of Fortress America. “The new marketing initiatives are bringing TSS/Vortech diversification in industries, and TSS/Vortech’s solution path and delivery success are bringing real expansion opportunities.”
