HWSY Hawk Systems Inc (CE)

HAWK SYSTEMS, INC. (PINKSHEETS: HWSY) www.hawksystemsinc.com, designer and developer of biometric products and systems, today said it appointed West Palm Beach FL-based FIST Enterprises, LLC (Fingerprint Identification Systems Technology) as exclusive distributor for AUTO PASS -- a unique fingerprint security product that prevents auto theft before it happens.

FIST President and Chief Operating Officer Jim Liantonio is past President of the Cadillac National Service Managers Council and Southeast Region Service and Parts Council and has served on the council continuously since 1987. He has 25 years experience as a Senior Operating Executive for car dealerships in Florida and New Jersey.

According to Liantonio, "The consensus among my colleagues on the Service Managers Council is that AUTO PASS is the right product to prevent theft and manage inventories on the car lot, and to offer our customers a unique, fun and affordable security product that gets the job done."

Based upon patented Hawk technology, AUTO PASS permits the operation of a car only by an authorized person. Drivers simply use their fingerprint to gain entry into the vehicle and start the engine. The car will not start unless an authorized person swipes his finger on the biometric sensor. Up to 132 fingerprints can be authorized to operate a single vehicle.

Hawk Systems founder and director David Coriaty called the appointment of FIST "A major milestone for the company." He said, "It gives us an experienced and enthusiastic team of professionals with wide industry contacts and tremendous sales ability."

He also stated, "With FIST on board, Hawk Systems is off and running."
