Acquired Sales Corp. (AQSP), which owns Big Data management and Complex Event Processing analytics leader Cogility Software Corporation (www.cogility.com), San Jose, CA, today announced that it has signed a letter of intent to acquire Defense & Security Technology Group, LLC (www.dstechgroup.com), Chantilly, VA. Minh Le will become the Executive Vice President of AQSP and will continue to serve as the President and CEO of DSTG. The acquisition consideration includes 100,000 shares of AQSP common stock, and options to acquire an aggregate of 200,000 shares of AQSP common stock at exercise prices between $3.18 and $5.00 per share.

Defense & Security Technology Group, LLC ("DSTG") collaborates with clients to help its leaders make distinctive decisions leading to substantial improvements in enterprise performance. Founded by Minh Le in 2007, DSTG is currently supporting a number of programs across the military, intelligence, law enforcement, and commercial communities. In an era of Federal budget tightening, DSTG is focused on helping our armed services and Federal agencies improve military and mission readiness while becoming even more cost-efficient.

Mr. Le is a former Partner and Executive Vice President at Accenture who specialized in merger & acquisition integration, complex enterprise reengineering, operations and supply chain management, and system integration. Prior to joining Accenture, Mr. Le was a finished gasoline and distillate trader and held several managerial and technical positions at ExxonMobil. Mr. Le holds an MBA from Georgetown University, and a B.S. in Computer Science from the University of Maryland, College Park.

Minh Le stated, “Our military, homeland security and law enforcement leaders require adaptive solutions that can keep pace with rapidly evolving requirements to stay ahead of our adversaries. Leaders require decision support solutions that can dynamically filter out the noise and provide actionable intelligence to make timely decisions. DSTG strategic consulting services are tightly integrated with Cogility rapid modeling software to provide seamless enterprise solutions that are available in 30-day sprints to our clients. We believe that speed and adaptability are strategic national defense and security capabilities."

Gerard M. Jacobs, the CEO of Acquired Sales, stated, "DSTG and our Cogility Software subsidiary are a perfect fit with each other. Minh Le's intelligence and creativity allow DSTG to perceive opportunities for Cogility software solutions that assist clients in making accurate and cost-effective decisions on programs that often involve Big Data management or Complex Event Processing analytics. We enthusiastically welcome Minh as a key member of Acquired Sales' senior management team. I expect that Minh will create significant value for our shareholders by helping us craft strategies that will allow DSTG and Cogility to grow both organically and via acquisitions."
