"I am sorry that Dennis will be leaving the board of Synectics. He has consistently provided us with wise and experienced counsel, and has on numerous occasions contributed value to the Company through his wide range of contacts, mentoring of our senior managers and understanding of the needs of prospective Synectics' customers in his sector of expertise. On behalf of the Board, I pass on our most warm and sincere thanks for his many contributions and wish him well in future.

"I am pleased that, although stepping down from his responsibilities as a director, Dennis has agreed to continue his association with Synectics in a less formal advisory capacity as we continue to grow the Company's business in infrastructure security."
