LHC

Long Harbour Capital Corp. ("Long Harbour") (TSX VENTURE:LHC) is pleased to
announce that it has entered into a letter of intent dated December 11, 2009
(the "LOI") regarding its proposed merger with Gatekeeper Systems Inc. ("GSI"),
a company incorporated under the laws of British Columbia. GSI is a technology
company focused on developing best in class mobile video surveillance products
and total solutions aimed at creating safer and more secure environments
resulting in reduced liabilities. This arm's length transaction will constitute
a reverse takeover of Long Harbour. Upon the completion of the merger, the
resulting issuer will be involved in the mobile surveillance and security
markets.


Pursuant to the LOI, Long Harbour will issue 2.358 common shares of Long Harbour
for each GSI share held, following which GSI shareholders will hold 54,285,714
common shares of Long Harbour representing approximately 85% of its issued and
outstanding shares. However, 4,955,491 of the Long Harbour shares issued in
exchange for the GSI shares will be placed in escrow and released to such
shareholders if the gross revenues of GSI for the 12 months ending December 31,
2010 meet or exceed certain revenue targets; otherwise such shares will be
cancelled. The major shareholders of GSI are Douglas Dyment, of Abbotsford,
British Columbia, the Dyment Family Trust, and the British Columbia Discovery
Fund, a venture capital investment fund formed in British Columbia.


GSI, a private company formed in 1997 and located in Abbotsford, British
Columbia, specializes in the design, manufacturing and marketing of total
digital surveillance systems for mobile and extreme environment applications.
GSI currently has two product lines. To date, GSI's core business in the school
bus market has supplied video surveillance systems throughout North America
under the brands Gatekeeper(R) and NiTRO(TM) to over 3,500 corporate and
government customers. The second product line, sold under the brand
Viperfish(R), focuses on more rugged and higher specification environments,
providing mobile video systems to customers such as United States Air Force,
Boeing Aerospace, and the oil and gas industry. GSI's particular area of
competence, and where it has built its reputation, is in all-encompassing
digital, high resolution mobile video surveillance solutions required for rugged
and higher specification environments. GSI's product designs are compatible with
corporate and government customers' existing and evolving systems, allowing them
to integrate vehicle video surveillance with building security.


Fuelled by heightened awareness of security, safety, vandalism and liability,
the video surveillance industry has evolved into a large market, growing
steadily even through the recent economic recession. According to a Frost &
Sullivan 2009 report, the worldwide market for mobile video surveillance will
almost double to $1.6 billion by 2015 - with the school bus, transit bus and law
enforcement segments, and their associated high specification requirements,
expected to drive this growth. With its considerable existing base in the school
bus market and planned introduction of innovative new products, GSI is well
positioned to capture a significant portion of this surveillance product market.


Based on GSI's audited financial statements, GSI's revenues for the year ended
August 31, 2009 were $6,756,645 as compared to $4,953,489 for the year ended
August 31, 2008. For the year ended August 31, 2009, GSI's net loss was $427,100
compared to net income of $20,912 for the same period in 2008.


The LOI will be superseded by a definitive agreement to be negotiated between
the parties. Completion of the merger is subject to certain conditions,
including receipt of approval from Long Harbour's shareholders and GSI's
shareholders and the TSX Venture Exchange, the election/appointment of new board
members of Long Harbour, the satisfactory completion by each party of their
respective due diligence investigations, and such other closing conditions as
may be specified in the definitive agreement.


The LOI provides that upon completion of the merger, Long Harbour's board of
directors will consist of five directors, of which two directors will be
nominees of GSI, two directors will be nominees of Long Harbour and one director
will be an independent appointee mutually agreed to by the parties. The officers
of Long Harbour and GSI upon the completion of the merger will include:


Douglas Dyment - Chief Operating Officer of Long Harbour; Chief Executive
Officer of GSI


Leanne Hudson - Secretary of Long Harbour; Director of Finance & Administration
of GSI 


John McEwen - Chairman of the board of directors of Long Harbour and GSI
