HBE Henry Bros. Electronics,

FAIR LAWN, N.J., June 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Henry Bros. Electronics, Inc. (AMEX:HBE), a turnkey provider of technology-based integrated electronic security solutions, today announced that it has been selected for inclusion in the Russell Microcap Index, according to the preliminary list of additions issued by the Russell Investment Group on June 13, 2008. The Company will officially be a member of the index when it is reconstituted on June 30, 2008. Annual reconstitution of Russell's U.S. indices captures the 4,000 largest U.S. stocks as of the end of May, ranking them by total market capitalization. Russell determines membership for its equity indices primarily by objective market capitalization rankings and style attributes. Russell indices are widely used by investment managers and institutional investors for index funds and as benchmarks for both passive and active investment strategies. An industry-leading $4.4 trillion in assets currently are benchmarked to them. These investment tools originated from Russell's multi-manager investment business in the early 1980s when the company saw the need for a more objective, market-driven set of benchmarks in order to evaluate outside investment managers. Brian Reach, President and Chief Operating Officer of Henry Bros. commented on the addition, stating, "We view the addition of Henry Bros. to the Russell Microcap Index as a significant milestone for our Company. We have worked to increase our sales and improve efficiencies over the past several years, and this work has been recognized by our investors, and resulted in an increase in our market capitalization. Our addition to the Russell Microcap will undoubtedly expose a wider audience of institutional investors to the Henry Bros. investment story, and serve to supplement our ongoing investor relations efforts."
