FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 ADI and Criticom Present Donations to NBFAA

Irving, TX Nov. 1, 2005 —The National Burglar & Fire Alarm Association (NBFAA) was presented with checks totaling more than $13,000 each from Mark Ingram, vice president of National Accounts for ADI, and Tom Few, Jr., vice president of Marketing and Sales for Criticom, for their sponsorship of the Double Bonu$ Member Benefit Program.

Both ADI and Criticom International pledged a donation of $50 to NBFAA for each new member company. NBFAA will share the donations with the Chartered State Associations (CSAs) that helped to promote the program.

Nearly 300 new member companies took advantage of the benefits and discounts the Double Bonu$ Program offered when it began in February with three sponsoring organizations: ADI, Criticom International, and the National Training School (NTS).

New member companies who joined the association between Feb. 15 and Aug. 15 received a total of $150 in incentives ($50 each from ADI, Criticom and NTS) over and above the discounts and services available to all 2005 members.
