HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 10, 2003

Sharp Holding Corporation (OTCBB:SHAR) announced today that Don K. Clark, former FBI agent-in-charge and security analyst for NBC Houston affiliate KPRC television, has joined Sharp as Homeland Security Advisor.

Mr. Clark served as a Special Agent of the FBI in Miami, New York, Washington D.C., Los Angeles, Newark, San Antonio and Houston. His assignments as an investigative agent and manager in the FBI included foreign counterintelligence, counter-terrorism, violent crimes, organized crime, drugs and other FBI investigative programs.

Mr. Clark supervised numerous high profile FBI investigations including the 1979 Iranian Hostage Crisis where he handled the movement of the Shah of Iran from New York City to San Antonio, TX. He supervised the investigation of the terrorist attack aboard the Achille Lauro cruise ship, which claimed the life of passenger Leon Klinghoffer, and he managed the investigation of the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center in New York City. He was in charge of tactical operations in 1996 during the Freeman crisis in Jordan, Montana. He coordinated and managed the investigation and prosecution of the dragging death of James Byrd, Jr. in Jasper, Texas and he was in charge of the investigation and coordination to locate FBI's top-10 fugitive and accused "Railcar Killer" Rafael Resendes Ramirez.

"We're proud to welcome Don to our team of executives" said George Sharp, President and CEO of Sharp Holding Corporation. "Don's experience and reputation in law enforcement is unsurpassed. Don has the unusual quality of being able to work at the highest level of law enforcement while still maintaining a solid relationship and the respect of working cops", Mr. Sharp added.

Sharp and the California Organization of Police and Sheriffs have joined to distribute a new type of security program that provides direct two-way communication between residents and their local safety agencies. The program called SCAN (Secure Cops Alert Network) will be available first in California and Texas before being released nationwide.

"I'm extremely honored to be working with Sharp and the California Organization of Police and Sheriffs", said Don Clark. "The SCAN program can provide real-time information to alert residents of potential criminal activity and warn of predators that may be operating in their neighborhoods. I'd like to see the SCAN program in every home in America", Mr. Clark added.
