Horne International Partners with Renaissance Strategic Advisors

Sets Strategic Direction to Strengthen Focus on Technical Engineering with Environmental Energy and Security Component

Fairfax, VA — August 3, 2009— Horne International, Inc. (OTCBB: HNIN) today announced that it has entered into a partnership with Renaissance Strategic Advisors, LLC, to guide Horne International and its subsidiary, Horne Engineering Services, LLC’s, strategic refocusing on the engineering services market, particularly those with a strong environmental, energy and security component. Horne International has a long history of providing technical engineering services to the federal, state government and commercial markets; and following a two (2) year restructuring process, the company is aggressively pursuing opportunities in these key markets.

The U.S. government’s focus on infrastructure renewal, the environment and energy is significant. The recently passed American Recovery and Reinvestment Act alone allocates approximately $60 billion to green federal buildings, state and local renewable energy, green construction, clean energy investment, and green job training programs. Major government programs, whether Department of Defense, Homeland Security, Intelligence Community, other federal or state, usually contain an environmental component, a sustainable energy component and a security component.

Horne is in a unique position to re-emerge as an industry leader in environmental and energy engineering services. Horne has successfully provided strategic environmental management and energy savings program services to state, federal and commercial organizations for more than twenty (20) years. “We are very excited about our partnership with Renaissance Strategic Advisors. Environmental Engineering and Energy are two areas of long-term and dynamic growth on a global basis. With the advice and guidance of Renaissance Strategic Partners, Horne is poised for a strong re-entry into the federal and commercial marketplace,” said Darryl K. Horne, President and CEO of Horne International, Inc.
