Titan Global Holdings Consummates Final Step in Acquisition of Assets Held by Nexus Nano Electronics

DALLAS, TX | Posted on December 1st, 2007

Titan Global Holdings, Inc. ("Titan") (OTCBB:TTGL), a high growth diversified holding company, has announced that Titan Nexus, Inc., a unit of Titan Electronics Group, has successfully completed the final step in the acquisition of the assets of Nexus Nano Electronics, Inc. ("Nexus"), a manufacturer of custom circuit boards for aerospace, defense and other industries. The surrender of assets was completed by agreement between Nexus as debtor and Titan as creditor.

Titan recently announced various secured debt and equity instruments secured with the assets of Nexus Nano Electronics, Inc. ("Nexus"). Titan has now exercised its legal rights as its lender to obtain ownership of Nexus' assets. Titan will combine Nexus with the operations of its Titan Electronics Group, creating synergies and efficiencies. Titan Electronics Group includes its legacy PCB divisions of Titan PCB East and Titan PCB West.

Nexus manufactures custom circuit board products for a variety of industries including aerospace, defense contractors and alternate energy equipment producers. Nexus generated revenues of $12 million and $16 million in the periods ended June 30, 2007 and June 30, 2006, respectively. Nexus has 90 employees in its advanced facilities in Brandon, Vermont, and Woburn, Massachusetts.

"The Nexus acquisition represented an opportunity for our Electronics Group to achieve valuable new synergies and efficiencies," said Bryan Chance, President and Chief Executive Officer of Titan Global Holdings. "Our strategic equity partners identified this opportunity and helped us structure the transaction in a manner that resulted in the issuance of equity and no debt. This addition significantly strengthens the Company's balance sheet through the addition of unencumbered assets. We will move quickly to integrate Nexus into Titan Electronics Group."

Titan's Electronics Group includes companies that specialize in the manufacturing of advanced circuit boards and other high-tech products for military and high-tech clients. Titan Electronics Group operates two subsidiaries -- Titan PCB East and Titan PCB West -- that specialize in the manufacturing of advanced circuit boards and other high-tech products for military and high-tech clients, such as Textron. Titan Electronics generated record revenues in 2006. Titan's PCB East holds the highly coveted 31032 manufacturing certification from the U.S. Department of Defense.

Titan Electronics Group grew to $23.6 million in revenue in fiscal 2007. Titan had announced record guidance for its Electronics and Homeland Security Division in fiscal 2008. Titan anticipates this division will generate revenues of $30 million for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2008. In light of the Nexus acquisition, Titan has upgraded fiscal 2008 revenue guidance to $45 million for Titan Electronics Group.

"We believe we can repeat the achievements of Titan's Electronics and Homeland team with the operation and team at Nexus," said Curtis Okumura, President of Titan's Electronics and Homeland Security Division. "Adding new products to our growing rep-centric organization should have a profoundly positive impact on Nexus' revenue and preserve jobs for its talented and committed family of employees. We achieved similar results with our existing operations. Furthermore, we will efficiently integrate these facilities, exploring many opportunities to exploit our economies of scale."
