OptiCon (OPCN) Spins-Off PowerCon Energy Systems Into Separate Company

ST. PETERSBURG, FL--(Marketwire - August 14, 2009) - OptiCon Systems, Inc. (OTCBB: OPCN) a
global provider of communications and telecommunications software for
Wireline, Wireless and fiber optics, announced today that the spin-off of
the Company's Energy division, PowerCon Energy Systems, is complete.
PowerCon is now a wholly owned subsidiary of OptiCon Systems.

This transition from a business unit into a wholly owned subsidiary will be
the first step in positioning PowerCon as a major solutions provider for
the fortune 1000 power companies globally. Major global utilities have
initiatives in place to use smart grid (intelligrid, FutureGrid, and the
more modern intergrid and intragrid) technology that delivers electricity
from suppliers to consumers. The use of digital technology to saves energy,
reduces cost, increases reliability, and transparency. Such a modernized
electricity network is being promoted by many governments as a way of
addressing energy independence, global warming and emergency resilience
issues. These new initiatives will help power producers move into the 21
century.

It is quite possible that the next big financial windfall, for companies
such as PowerCon Energy Systems, will come from helping the multi-trillion
dollar energy industry move into the digital world by providing them
products to accelerate their transition. PowerCon will provide Power
Network Management Software, Intelligrid Monitoring System, and Fault
Detection Information System to the global Power industry.

Sam Talari, acting CEO of the Company, indicated as follows:

"In the next few weeks, we will work diligently to joint venture with major
global utilities as funding partners to complete the development of our
products and services for the power industry and to provide clear and
profitable exit strategy for our investors either through a buyout or and
IPO."
