Horne International Names Evan Auld-Susott Director of Acquisitions

Fairfax, VA — February 7, 2008 — Horne International, Inc. (OTCBB: HNIN), announced today that Evan Auld-Susott has been appointed Director of Acquisitions. In this newly created role, he will be responsible for identifying, assessing and recommending strategic and tactical opportunities that support Horne International’s long-term growth as a premier provider of engineering services for a sustainable infrastructure.

“I believe Horne International is attractively positioned to implement an effective acquisition strategy,” Mr. Auld-Susott said. “The company currently has no senior debt and a substantial net operating loss carry-forward, which I expect will provide great flexibility in addressing acquisition opportunities. Furthermore, we expect that our acquisition of Amata, Inc., will lead to more attractive acquisition financing opportunities when it is completed.”

“Horne International has many intriguing opportunities to boost the top and bottom lines,” Mr. Auld-Susott added. “We are looking at strategic and synergistic acquisitions that will enhance our ability to provide sustainable solutions for our customers and sustainable growth in value for our shareholders.”

“Horne International is poised for continuing organic and inorganic growth, and I am pleased that Evan Auld-Susott has taken on this key role,” said Horne International Chairman, President and CEO Darryl K. Horne. “The executive team looks forward to elaborating on our growth strategy in upcoming communications with our shareholders.”
