"Carlyle's investment is a vote of confidence in our business model and our continued success," said Brian Wood, chairman and CEO of Supercircuits. "At a time when many other companies in this industry are struggling, Supercircuits is increasing our market share and delivering impressive results for Carlyle."

Mr. Wood added, "This new capital will enable us to deliver even more outstanding value and support to our customers. We also intend to expand our product offerings and further invest in Law Enforcement and Dealer initiatives. Eliminating our debt also gives Supercircuits the advantage of a rock solid balance sheet and greater flexibility in this challenging economy."
