CirTran Receives Payment from Private Investor Ahead of Schedule

SALT LAKE CITY--July 31, 2006--CirTran Corp. (OTCBB: CIRT) announced today that it has received the second installment in a $2 million private investment and stock purchase agreement from a private California firm ahead of schedule.

A transfer of $200,000 was received Thursday, July 27, "several days ahead of schedule," said Iehab J. Hawatmeh, founder and president of CirTran, a full-service contract manufacturer of IT, consumer and consumer electronics products. The payment from ANAHOP Inc., based in Anaheim, Calif., was due within 30 days of the June 30, 2006 closing of the agreement, when it made its first $300,000 payment.

ANAHOP's most recent investment in CirTran -- $2 million in four tranches -- brings its total commitment to CirTran to $3 million. ANAHOP has contracted to purchase CirTran restricted common stock for $.07 per share, without any registration rights, and will also receive warrants to purchase up to an additional 63 million shares.

-- The third tranche -- $500,000 -- is due within 30 days of CirTran's stock being listed for trading on the NASDAQ(R) Small Cap Market, the NASDAQ Capital Market, the American Stock Exchange(R) or the New York Stock Exchange(R);

-- The fourth/final tranche -- $1 million -- will be due within 60 days after CirTran's stock is listed on one of the above exchanges.

ANAHOP's initial investment of $1 million in CirTran restricted common stock, which started at the end of May, was completed ahead of schedule on June 15, and also included warrants to purchase up to 30 million shares.

'Relationship Going Strong'

"Our relationship with ANAHOP is going strong," Hawatmeh said. "The ANAHOP group, led by Albert Hagar, is committed to our company and our growth in the various market segments where we do business, and has been on-time or ahead of schedule with its investments.

"We look forward to rewarding ANAHOP as we do in working hard on behalf of all of our shareholders," said Hawatmeh.
