Houston, Texas – September 26, 2007 Hammonds Industries, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: HMDI), a pioneer of fuel additives injection technology and the designer of an Omni Directional vehicle, announced today an increase in the number of tactical injector systems the U.S. Army ordered through a contract awarded to Hammonds in July. The increase includes 10 additional injectors.

The total value of the contract, with the additional injectors, is valued at approximately $2,445,000, for a total of 82 units. The contract is part of a U.S Army Fuel System Supply Point (FSSP) program covering several sizes of rapid deployment fueling systems that will be produced over several years, subject to government funding. Hammonds’ injectors are specified on the entire program.

The 4T-4A fuel injector is a custom designed, low maintenance injection system designed for injecting three separate additives required in JP-8 military specification fuel. The systems are ideal for remote operations in severe operating conditions with little or no maintenance. The 4T-4A features Hammond’s "swing vane" positive displacement fluid motor that harnesses energy from the flowing product line in order to operate without electricity, air or pressurized additive lines, making it uniquely qualified for rapid military deployment.

Hammonds will be demonstrating its unique technology, including the injector and other aviation products, September 25 through September 27 at the Sixtieth Annual National Business Aircraft Association (NBAA) Tradeshow in Atlanta, Georgia. The NBAA tradeshow is one of the largest conventions for the civil aviation industry, with 27,326 registered attendees this year. For more information, please visit http://www.nbaa.org.

The aviation industry is experiencing a period of growth, as is evidenced by the increased production of general aviation aircraft.
