      The  undersigned,  a duly  authorized  officer of Advanced  Communications
Technologies,  Inc., a Florida  corporation (the "Company"),  in accordance with
the provisions of Section 607.0821 of the Florida Business Corporation Act, DOES
HEREBY  CERTIFY that the following  resolution  was duly adopted by the Board of
Directors  by  unanimous  written  consent  pursuant to Section  607.0821 of the
Florida Business Corporation Act on May 25, 2004:

      RESOLVED,  that the Board has determined  that it is in the best interests
of the Company to provide for the  designation  and issuance of certain Series B
Convertible  Preferred  Stock,  par  value of $0.01  per  share  (the  "Series B
Preferred  Stock"),  to consist of up to Three Hundred (300) shares,  and hereby
fixes  the  powers,  designations,  preferences,  and  relative,  participating,
optional  and other  special  rights of the  shares of such  Series B  Preferred
Stock, as follows:

                                    SECTION 1

                              DESIGNATION AND RANK

      1.1.  Designation.  This  resolution  shall provide for a single series of
Preferred  Stock,  the  designation  of which  shall be  "Series  B  Convertible
Preferred  Stock," par value $0.01 per share.  The number of  authorized  shares
constituting  the Series B Preferred  Stock is 300. The Series B Preferred Stock
will have a liquidation preference as determined in Section 3.1 below.

      1.2.   Rank.   With  respect  to  the  payment  of  dividends   and  other
distributions on the capital stock of the Company, including distribution of the
assets of the Company upon  liquidation,  the Series B Preferred  Stock shall be
junior to the Series A  Convertible  Preferred  Stock of the Company,  par value
$0.01 per share (the "Series A Preferred  Stock"),  and senior to the (i) common
stock of the Company, no par value per share (the "Common Stock"),  and (ii) all
series of  preferred  stock of the  Company,  other than the Series A  Preferred
Stock (the "Junior Stock").

                                    SECTION 2

                                 DIVIDEND RIGHTS

      2.1.  Dividends  or  Distributions.  Subject to the rights of the Series A
Preferred  Stock,  the holders of Series B Preferred  Stock shall be entitled to
receive  dividends  or  distributions  on a pro rata  basis  according  to their
holdings of shares of Series B Preferred Stock when and if
<PAGE>

declared by the Board of  Directors  of the Company in the amount of five (5.0%)
percent  per  year.  Dividends  shall  be  paid  in  cash.  Dividends  shall  be
cumulative.  No cash dividends or distributions shall be declared or paid or set
apart for payment on the Common Stock in any calendar year unless cash dividends
or  distributions  on the Series B Preferred  Stock for such  calendar  year are
likewise  declared  and paid or set apart for  payment.  No declared  and unpaid
dividends shall bear or accrue interest.

                                    SECTION 3

                               LIQUIDATION RIGHTS

      3.1. Liquidation Preference. Upon any liquidation, dissolution, or winding
up  of  the  Company,   whether  voluntary  or  involuntary   (collectively,   a
"Liquidation"),  after all required distributions and payments have been made to
the holders of Series A Preferred  Stock, but before any distribution or payment
shall be made to any of the holders of Common  Stock or any series of  preferred
stock,  the holders of Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive out
of the  assets of the  Company,  whether  such  assets are  capital,  surplus or
earnings,  an amount  equal to $1,000 per share of Series  Preferred  Stock (the
"Liquidation  Amount") plus all declared and unpaid dividends thereon,  for each
share  of  Series  B  Preferred  Stock  held by  them.  Thereafter,  no  further
distribution shall be made to the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock

      3.2. Pro Rata Distribution. If, upon any Liquidation, after payment of all
liquidation  preferences to all holders of Series A Preferred  Stock, the assets
of the Company shall be  insufficient to pay the  Liquidation  Amount,  together
with declared and unpaid dividends  thereon,  in full to all holders of Series B
Preferred Stock,  then the entire remaining net assets of the Corporation  shall
be  distributed  among the holders of the Series B Preferred  Stock,  ratably in
proportion  to the full amounts to which they would  otherwise  be  respectively
entitled and such  distributions may be made in cash or in property taken at its
fair value (as determined in good faith by the Company's Board of Directors), or
both, at the election of the Company's Board of Directors.

      3.3. Merger, Consolidation or Reorganization. For purposes of this Section
3, a  Liquidation  shall not be deemed to be  occasioned  by or to  include  the
merger,  consolidation  or  reorganization  of the Company  into or with another
entity through one or a series of related transactions, or the sale, transfer or
lease of all or substantially all of the determined of the Company.

                                    SECTION 4

                                CONVERSION RIGHTS

      4.1.  Conversion.  The  holders  of Series B  Preferred  Stock  shall have
conversion rights as follows (the "Conversion Rights"):

            (a) Each share of Series B Preferred Stock shall be convertible,  at
the option of the holder thereof, at any time after the date of issuance of such
share  (subject  to Section  4.5  hereof),  at the office of the  Company or any
transfer  agent for the Series B Preferred  Stock into such number of fully paid
and non-assessable shares of Common Stock as is defined by


                                       2
<PAGE>

dividing  (a) the sum of (i) the  Liquidation  Amount of the Series B  Preferred
Stock,  plus  (ii)  all  accrued  but  unpaid  dividends  thereon,  by  (b)  the
"Conversion Price" then in effect. The Conversion Price shall be equal to either
(a) $0.01 per share (which shall be adjusted in the event of a  subdivision,  or
combination  of  shares),  or (b) 100.0% of the  average of the three (3) lowest
closing bid prices of the Common Stock for the ten (10) trading days immediately
preceding  the date of  conversion,  whichever  is lower.  The closing bid price
shall be determined using price quotations from Bloomberg LP.

            (b) Each  share of  Series B  Preferred  Stock  automatically  shall
convert  into  shares of Common  Stock at the  Conversion  Price  then in effect
immediately  upon the  consummation  of the  occurrence of a stock  acquisition,
consolidation  or  reorganization  of the Company  into or with  another  entity
through one or a series of related transactions,  or the sale, transfer or lease
(but not  including a transfer  by pledge or mortgage to a bona fide  lender) of
all or substantially all of the assets of the Company.

      4.2. Adjustments.  The Conversion Price of the Series B Preferred Stock as
described in Section 4.1 above shall be adjusted from time to time as follows:

            (a) In the  event of any  reclassification  of the  Common  Stock or
recapitalization involving Common Stock (excluding a subdivision, or combination
of shares or any other event described in Sections 4.2(a) or (b)) the holders of
the Series B Preferred  Stock  shall  thereafter  be  entitled  to receive,  and
provision   shall  be  made   therefor   in  any   agreement   relating  to  the
reclassification or recapitalization,  upon conversion of the Series B Preferred
Stock,  the kind and  number of shares of Common  Stock or other  securities  or
property  (including  cash) to which such  holders of Series B  Preferred  Stock
would have been  entitled if they had held the number of shares of Common  Stock
into which the Series B Preferred  Stock was  convertible  immediately  prior to
such  reclassification  or  recapitalization;  and in any such case  appropriate
adjustment  shall be made in the application of the provisions  herein set forth
with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the holders of the Series
B  Preferred  Stock,  to the end that the  provisions  set  forth  herein  shall
thereafter be  applicable,  as nearly as  reasonably  may be, in relation to any
shares, other securities,  or property thereafter  receivable upon conversion of
the Series B Preferred  Stock. An adjustment made pursuant to this  subparagraph
(a)  shall  become  effective  at the time at  which  such  reclassification  or
recapitalization becomes effective.

            (b) In the event the Company shall declare a distribution payable in
securities of other entities or persons, evidences of indebtedness issued by the
Company or other  entities or persons,  assets  (excluding  cash  dividends)  or
options or rights not referred to in Sections  4.2(a) above,  the holders of the
Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to a proportionate  share of any such
distribution  as though  they were the holders of the number of shares of Common
Stock of the  Company  into which their  shares of Series B Preferred  Stock are
convertible as of the record date fixed for the  determination of the holders of
shares of Common Stock of the Company  entitled to receive such  distribution or
if no such record date is fixed, as of the date such distribution is made.

      4.3. Procedures for Conversion.

            (a) In order to  exercise  conversion  rights  pursuant  to  Section
4.1(a) above,  the holder of the Series B Preferred  Stock to be converted shall
deliver an irrevocable  written  notice of such exercise to the Company,  at its
principal  office.  The holder of any shares of Series B Preferred  Stock shall,
upon any  conversion of such Series B Preferred  Stock in  accordance  with this
Section 4, surrender  certificates  representing the Series B Preferred Stock to
the Company,  at its  principal  office,  and specify the name or names in which
such holder wishes the certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock to
be issued.  In case such holder shall specify a name or names other than that of
such holder,  such notice shall be  accompanied by payment of all transfer taxes
(if  transfer is to a person or entity  other than the holder  thereof)  payable
upon the issuance of shares of Common  Stock in such name or names.  As promptly
as  practicable,  and, if  applicable,  after payment of all transfer  taxes (if
transfer is to a person or entity  other than the holder  thereof),  the Company
shall deliver or cause to be delivered  certificates  representing the number of
validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock to which the
holder of the Series B Preferred  Stock so  converted  shall be  entitled.  Such
conversion,  to the  extent  permitted  by law,  shall be  deemed  to have  been
effected  as of the date of receipt by the  Company of any notice of  conversion
pursuant to Section  4.1(a)  above,  or, in the case of an automatic  conversion
pursuant to Section  4.1(b) above,  upon the  occurrence of any event  specified
therein.  Upon conversion of any shares of Series B Preferred Stock, such shares
shall cease to constitute shares of Series B Preferred Stock and shall represent
only a right to  receive  shares  of  common  stock  into  which  they have been
converted.

            (b) In  connection  with the  conversion  of any  shares of Series B
Preferred Stock, no fractions of shares of Common Stock shall be issued, but the
Company shall pay cash in lieu of such fractional interest in an amount equal to
the product of the Conversion Price and such fractional interest.

            (c) The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of
its  authorized  Common  Stock the full number of shares of Common  Stock of the
Company  issuable  upon the  conversion  of all  outstanding  shares of Series B
Preferred Stock. In the event that the Company does not have a sufficient number
of shares of authorized but unissued  Common Stock necessary to satisfy the full
conversion  of the shares of Series B Preferred  Stock,  then the Company  shall
call and hold a meeting of the  shareholders  within 30 days of such  occurrence
for the sole purpose of  increasing  the number of  authorized  shares of Common
Stock.  The Company's  Board of Directors shall recommend to shareholders a vote
in favor of such  proposal  and shall vote all shares held by them,  in proxy or
otherwise,  in favor of such proposal.  This remedy is not intended to limit the
remedies  available  to the  holders of the  Series B  Preferred  Stock,  but is
intended to be in addition to any other remedies, whether in contract, at law or
in equity.

      4.4.  Notices of Record Date.  In the event that the Company shall propose
at any time:  (a) to declare  any  dividend  or  distribution  upon any class or
series of capital stock, whether in cash,  property,  stock or other securities;
(b) to effect any  reclassification  or  recapitalization  of its  Common  Stock
outstanding  involving  a  change  in the  Common  Stock;  or (c)  to  merge  or
consolidate with or into any other corporation,  or to sell, lease or convey all
or substantially all


                                       4
<PAGE>

of its  property or business,  or to  liquidate,  dissolve or wind up; then,  in
connection with each such event, the Company shall mail to each holder of Series
B Preferred Stock:

            (a) at least twenty (20) days' prior  written  notice of the date on
      which a record  shall be taken  for such  dividend  or  distribution  (and
      specifying  the date on which the holders of the affected  class or series
      of capital stock shall be entitled  thereto) or for determining the rights
      to vote, if any, in respect of the matters  referred to in clauses (b) and
      (c) in Section 4.4 above; and

            (5) in the case of the  matters  referred  to in Section 4.4 (b) and
      (c) above,  written  notice of such impending  transaction  not later than
      twenty (20) days prior to the shareholders' meeting called to approve such
      transaction, or twenty (20) days prior to the closing of such transaction,
      whichever is earlier,  and shall also notify such holder in writing of the
      final  approval  of such  transaction.  The  first of such  notices  shall
      describe the material  terms and  conditions of the impending  transaction
      (and specify the date on which the holders of shares of Common Stock shall
      be  entitled  to  exchange  their  Common  Stock for  securities  or other
      property  deliverable  upon the  occurrence of such event) and the Company
      shall thereafter give such holders prompt notice of any material  changes.
      The transaction  shall in no event take place sooner than twenty (20) days
      after the Company has given the first notice provided for herein or sooner
      than ten (10) days  after the  Company  has given  notice of any  material
      changes provided for herein.

      4.5.  Limitations of  Conversion.

            (a) Subject to the  Termination  Rights  specified in Section 4.5(b)
hereof, the Conversion Rights specified herein shall be subject to the following
limitations:

                  (i) The holders of the shares of Series B Preferred  Stock may
exercise their Conversion Rights at any time on or after June 23, 2005; and

                  (ii) No holder of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall
be entitled to convert the Series B Preferred  Stock to the extent,  but only to
the extent,  that such conversion  would, upon giving effect to such conversion,
cause the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock  beneficially owned by such
holder to exceed 4.99% of the outstanding  shares of Common Stock following such
conversion  (which provision may be waived by such holder by written notice from
such holder to the  Company,  which  notice shall be effective 61 days after the
date of such notice).

            (b) The  limitation on the  Conversion  Rights  specified in Section
4.5(a) hereof shall terminate (the "Termination Rights") if there is a Change in
Control of the Company (as defined below).  For the purpose of hereof, a "Change
in Control" of the Company has occurred when: (i) any person  (defined herein to
mean any person within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the  Securities  Exchange
Act of 1934 (the  "Exchange  Act")),  other  than the  Company,  or an  employee
benefit plan  established  by the Board of  Directors of the Company,  acquires,
directly or indirectly, the beneficial ownership (determined under Rule 13d-3 of
the  regulations  promulgated by the Securities  and Exchange  Commission  under
Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) of  securities  issued by the Company  having
forty percent (40%) or more of the voting


                                       5
<PAGE>

power of all of the voting  securities  issued by the Company in the election of
directors at the meeting of the holders of voting securities to be held for such
purpose;  or (ii) a majority  of the  directors  elected  at any  meeting of the
holders of voting  securities  of the Company are persons who were not nominated
for such election by the Board of Directors of the Company or a duly constituted
committee  of the Board of  Directors  of the Company  having  authority in such
matters;  or  (iii)  the  Company  merges  or  consolidates  with  or  transfers
substantially  all of its assets to another  person;  (iv) a change in the Chief
Executive  Officer of the Company from that person that serves in such  position
on the date hereof.

                                   SECTION 5

                                NO VOTING RIGHTS

      5.1.  General.  The  Series B  Preferred  Stock  shall not have any voting
rights, except as required under the Florida Business Corporation Act.

                                   SECTION 6

                               REDEMPTION RIGHTS

      6.1.  After  providing 10 days prior written  notice to the holders of the
Series B Preferred  Stock,  the Company  shall have the right to redeem  (unless
otherwise  prevented by law) any outstanding  shares of Series B Preferred Stock
at an amount equal to 120% of the  Liquidation  Amount,  plus accrued but unpaid
dividends  thereon (the  "Redemption  Price").  The Company shall consummate the
redemption  and pay the  Redemption  Price  within  20 days of the  date of such
notice. The Redemption Price shall be paid in immediately available funds.

                                    SECTION 7

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

      7.1. Heading of Subdivisions.  The headings of the various Sections hereof
are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the interpretation of
any of the provisions hereof.

      7.2. Severability of Provisions. If any right, preference or limitation of
the Series B Preferred Stock set forth herein (as this resolution may be amended
from time to time) is invalid, unlawful or incapable of being enforced by reason
of any  rule  of  law or  public  policy,  all  other  rights,  preferences  and
limitations  set forth in this  resolution  (as so  amended)  which can be given
effect  without the invalid,  unlawful or  unenforceable  right,  preference  or
limitation shall,  nevertheless,  remain in full force and effect, and no right,
preference or  limitation  herein set forth shall be deemed  dependent  upon any
other such right, preference or limitation unless so expressed herein.
