Costa Mesa, CA-  Semicoa Corporation announces its return to the Military and Hi-Rel

component industry.  After a 1 year absence Semicoa returns with solid financial
 
backing from private equity firm Vance Street Capital, headquartered in Los Angeles,

CA.  Along with their extensive Bi-Polar transistor portfolio, Semicoa will also introduce

several new product offerings in the discrete semiconductor marketplace.  "The Semicoa

team is excited to again support those customers whose determination has enabled us to

re-enter the market and to re-establish constructive working relationships.  Without the

determined effort of the customer base and Vance Street, this could not have taken place"

states Perry Denning, Semicoa President. "Vance Street has worked with us for over a

year to ensure that the new Semicoa is established with the financial backing necessary to

execute our product plans. In the coming months we will reveal the details of our new

plans to support our customers with the same high levels of quality and service Semicoa

has provided in the past."
