Active Control Acquires PowerCart Systems Inc.

Active Control Technology Inc. (TSX VENTURE:ACT) ("Active" or the "Company"), a
leading provider in the design, manufacture and marketing of both wireless and
fiber network solutions for mine communications, and the commercial security and
access control industries, announced today that, further to its press release of
August 12, 2011, it has closed the acquisition of all of the issued and
outstanding shares of PowerCart Systems Inc. ("PowerCart"). 


Pursuant to the terms of the share purchase agreement, on closing, two nominees
of PowerCart, Jonathan Emanuel and Esther Schwartz, were appointed directors of
Active. The board of directors was increased by one and Paul Jaggard resigned as
a director to accommodate the appointment of the PowerCart nominees. Mr. Jaggard
used the opportunity of the PowerCart transaction to resign from the board due
to the time commitments of his primary endeavours. On behalf of the board,
Michael Abbene, Chairman of Active, wished to express his thanks to Paul Jaggard
for his services to the Company as Chairman of the Audit Committee. The board of
directors is currently comprised of Michael Abbene, Doug Barre, Graham Warren,
Steve Barrett, William R. Johnstone, Jonathan Emanuel and Esther Schwartz. 


Jonathan Emanuel has been the CEO of PowerCart since 2008 and during this period
has grown both the margins and revenues. Prior to PowerCart, Jonathan worked on
the successful restructuring and sale of a technology company for one of the
leading merchant banks in Toronto. Prior to this, Jonathan worked in technology
companies involved with software development and/or consulting. During this
period he was involved in multiple transactions either integrating, acquiring or
selling companies. Jonathan has held a number of senior positions including CFO,
CIO and CEO.


Esther Schwartz joined PowerCart as CFO in the fall of 2010. She has been
involved in finance and operations for over 25 years. Over that time, Ms.
Schwartz has held senior management positions in technology companies and
project management firms. She co-founded a project management solutions company
that provided recruitment and placement services and resource optimization
systems for Canada's FP1000 companies. Profitable since inception, the company
employed more than 20 professionals and was sold in its fifth year.


"We are very pleased to have closed this transaction and look forward to
integrating our operations and realizing on the tremendous synergies and
business opportunities" said Graham Warren, Active's CEO. Jonathan Emanuel,
PowerCart's CEO commented: "Bringing the two companies together creates a
platform for increased margins while allowing technological and revenue growth."



As a result of the consolidation as detailed in the Company's press release of
August 17, 2011 and the acquisition of PowerCart, the Company currently has
17,504,592 common shares issued and outstanding.
