Aldila Acquires Victory Archery

  ALDILA, INC. (OTCQX: ALDA) (PINKSHEETS: ALDA) announced today it acquired substantially all of the assets of Miramar Strategic Ventures, LLC (MSV) used in its Victory Archery line of carbon fiber arrows and related archery products. The transaction closed on December 30, 2010.

Aldila, acting through its subsidiary Aldila Golf Corp., acquired substantially all of Victory Archery, a division of MSV. Included in the purchase were specified equipment, accounts receivable and inventory, as well as other tangible and intangible assets related to the archery line of business. Aldila assumed four contracts relating to sales and marketing activities and will be responsible under those agreements only for post-closing obligations. Aldila assumed no other liabilities in connection with the purchase.

Aldila paid $2.3 million dollars and issued 104,319 shares of unregistered Aldila, Inc. common stock to MSV in payment for the assets.

Aldila will also pay MSV an earn-out payment of 5.0% of any increase in quarterly gross sales (less returns) of archery products, with an annual reconciliation payment to bring the total earn-out payment to 10.0% of the increase above the gross sales (less returns) of archery products compared to the actual gross sales (less returns) in 2010. The earn-out obligation ends for sales after December 31, 2015.

The issuance of the Aldila common shares was exempt under SEC Rule 506. The number of shares was calculated using the average of the closing price on the 20 trading days prior to December 29, 2010 and a value of $500,000, yielding a price of $4.793/share. The shares are not registered, they are "restricted shares" saleable only under SEC Rule 144 or other applicable exemptions, and bear a legend indicating their un-registered status. MSV and Aldila have also agreed the shares may not be transferred prior to January 2, 2012. Aldila has a right of first refusal to re-purchase the shares if MSV desires to sell or transfer the shares.

MSV, Martin Connolly, Tod Boretto and Spinergy, Inc., a Delaware corporation, all entered into non-competition agreements pursuant to which they will not compete, directly or indirectly, with Aldila in the manufacture or sale of carbon fiber arrows and related archery products worldwide for six (6) years after the Closing. Mr. Connolly and Mr. Boretto are key management employees of MSV and, together with Spinergy collectively own 38.33% of that company. Mr. Connolly and Mr. Boretto have also, with MSV's consent, entered into consulting agreements with Aldila to assist in the transition. Aldila and its affiliates, officers and directors, are not related to or associated with MSV, Mr. Connolly nor Mr. Boretto.

Aldila granted MSV a right of first negotiation if Aldila ceases to actively conduct the archery business at any time before December 31, 2015.
