FTG Completes Acquisition of Substantially all of the Assets of Filtran Microcircuits Inc.

Toronto, Ontario – December 31, 2007 – Firan Technology Group Corporation (TSX: FTG) announced today that it has acquired substantially all of the assets from Filtran Microcircuits Inc. (“Filtran”), a Canadian printed circuit board manufacturer based in Ottawa, Ontario and focused primarily on the manufacture of microwave printed circuit boards for high frequency applications. Filtran had annual revenues of approximately $4,000,000 in 2007.

The transaction was effected pursuant to an asset purchase agreement entered into between FTG, Filtran and Filtran’s parent company, Merrimac Industries Inc. (“Merrimac”) (AMEX: MRM). The total consideration payable by FTG is $1.45 million plus the assumption of liabilities valued at approximately $360,000. FTG paid $800,000 of the purchase price at closing with the balance payable near the conclusion of an eight-week transitional period. FTG is financing the acquisition from existing cash and its bank operating line.

The purchase of Filtran’s assets has significant strategic benefit to FTG as it is expected that the acquisition will accelerate its penetration of very high frequency circuit board applications. This market segment’s use of high technology materials and special processing requirements limit competition and is a growing segment including many aerospace and defense applications. Under the terms of the acquisition, FTG has acquired advanced and unique processing equipment, process know-how, all of Filtran’s customer contracts as well as the working capital of Filtran. Also as part of the acquisition, FTG has entered into a separate agreement with Merrimac, to provide printed circuit boards for Merrimac’s internal needs including a specific military program.

“We are excited about this deal as it enables FTG to continue its strategy of consolidating printed circuit board manufacturers into a larger, more capable company that can compete on a world scale”, commented Brad Bourne, President and Chief Executive Officer of FTG. He added, “Canadian manufacturers, including FTG, have been hard hit by the continued year-over-year appreciation of the Canadian dollar and strong commodity prices. Building larger scale, particularly in specialized technologies, is a critical strategy in attempting to overcome these external factors.”

“For FTG, after a short transitional period, this transaction is expected to boost activity in both our Toronto and Chatsworth facilities and should generate positive contribution margin for both sites”, added Mr. Joe Ricci, Chief Financial Officer.
