THIS IS A CRITICAL TIME FOR LOCATEPLUS. From an operational perspective, we are experiencing one of the strongest periods in LocatePLUS' history. However, we face a significant challenge. The Company needs to explore all options to pay off debt that was accumulated in prior years. As you may be aware, we are in technical default on debt to our primary secured debt holder. One remedy available to them is to foreclose on all of the Company's assets. One way we may be able to avoid this is by allowing the Debtor to convert debt to equity. However, we do not have adequate shares authorized to allow them to convert the debt. For this reason, and others that will be described within this proxy, the Board and I feel it is in the best interest of our shareholders to increase the authorized shares, and we are recommend a vote to increase our authorized shares. Whether or not you intend to attend the Annual Meeting and no matter how many shares you hold, YOUR VOTE IS IMPORTANT, AND WE ENCOURAGE YOU TO VOTE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. I urge you to read the enclosed Notice of Annual Meeting and Proxy Statement carefully, and to grant your proxy on each of the matters by following the telephone or Internet instructions set forth on the face of the proxy card. Alternatively, you may grant a proxy by completing, signing, dating, and returning the enclosed proxy card in the envelope provided. Whether or not you grant a proxy, you are invited to attend the annual meeting in person. In addition to addressing the matters set forth in the Notice of the Annual Meeting, we also will report on our 2007 business results and other matters of interest to our stockholders. You will have an opportunity at the meeting to ask questions, make comments and meet representatives from our senior management team. A brief tour of our Beverly, Massachusetts facility will follow. So that we may provide appropriate accommodations, please let Ms. Adrianne Jackson know by August 15, 2008 if you plan to attend the annual meeting in person. Ms. Jackson can be reached at (978) 921-2727 x110. Best regards, James C. Fields Chief Executive Officer and President Beverly, Massachusetts July 29, 2008 [GRAPHIC OMITED] Notice is hereby given that the Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "Annual Meeting") of LocatePLUS Holdings Corporation, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Corporation"), will be held on September 15, 2008 at 3 p.m. (E.S.T.) at LocatePLUS Holdings Corporation's principal office, 100 Cummings Center, Suite 235M, Beverly, Massachusetts 01915.

To amend the Corporation's Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of the Corporation's Common Stock from 25,000,000 shares to 100,000,000 shares. The stockholders will also consider and act upon any other business that may properly come before the Annual Meeting. At this time, the Board of Directors is not aware of any other matters that will be raised at the Annual Meeting. No proposal to postpone or adjourn the Annual Meeting or to solicit additional proxies will be entertained at the Annual Meeting. The Board of Directors has established the close of business on August 11, 2008 as the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting.

The Annual Meeting will be held on September 15, 2008 at 3 p.m. (E.S.T.) at LocatePLUS Holdings Corporation's principal office, 100 Cummings Center, Suite 235M, Beverly, Massachusetts 01915. This proxy statement is dated August 11, 2008 and was first furnished to our stockholders on that date. WHY ARE YOU RECEIVING THESE PROXY MATERIALS? We are providing these proxy materials to you because the Corporation's Board of Directors is soliciting holders of the Corporation's Common Stock to provide proxies to be voted at our Annual Meeting of Shareholders. The Corporations' records indicate that you were a holder of shares of the Common Stock of the Corporation as of the close of business on August 11, 2008. WHO IS ENTITLED TO VOTE AT THE ANNUAL MEETING? Only shareholders of record at the close of business on the record date, August 11, 2008, are entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. All shareholders are eligible to vote at the Annual Meeting as a class with respect to the proposals to reclassify the Corporation's stock, effect a reverse stock split and increase the number of shares of authorized stock. As of July 10, 17,177,691 shares of Common Stock were issued and outstanding, and held by 441 holders of record. Each share of Common Stock entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, is entitled one vote per share. HOW CAN YOU VOTE? You may vote in person at the Annual Meeting or by proxy. We recommend you vote by proxy even if you plan to attend the meeting. You can always change your vote at the meeting. If you timely vote by telephone or the Internet or sign and return your proxy card to us in time for it to be voted at the Annual Meeting, one of the individuals named as your proxy, each of whom is an executive officer of the Corporation, will vote your shares as you have directed on the proxy card. If you sign and timely return your proxy card but no indication is given as to how to vote your shares as to the proposals, your shares will be voted "FOR" the proposals. If any other matter properly comes before the Annual Meeting, the persons named in the proxy card will use their discretion as to how to vote the shares. If you attend the Annual Meeting and wish to vote in person, we will give you a ballot at the meeting. However, if your shares are held in the name of your broker, bank or other nominee, you must obtain from your nominee and bring to the Annual Meeting a "legal proxy" authorizing you to vote your "street name" shares held as of the record date. IF I GRANT A PROXY, WHO WILL VOTE MY SHARES? If you grant a proxy, your shares will be voted by Mr. Jon R. Latorella, Chairman, or Mr. James C. Fields, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer and Secretary of the Corporation. WHAT CONSTITUTES A QUORUM? A majority of the votes of Common Stock as a class issued and outstanding and entitled to vote on the record date, present in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting, will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions will count toward the determination of whether or not a quorum is present. WHAT VOTE IS REQUIRED TO APPROVE THE PROPOSALS? The affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding Common Stock of the Corporation is required to approve the proposals to amend the Corporation's Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation. Abstentions and Broker non-votes will have the effect of a vote against the proposals. Broker non-votes occur when shares held by a shareholder in "street name" are not voted with respect to the proposals because the broker has not received voting instructions from the shareholder, and the broker lacks the discretionary voting power to vote the shares. Brokers holding shares in their name will not be permitted to vote on the proposals at the Annual Meeting without instruction from the beneficial owner of the shares. With regard to the election of directors, the directors will be elected by the vote of a plurality of the shares and only shares that are voted in favor of a particular nominee will be counted toward that nominee's achievement of a plurality. Shares present at the Annual Meeting that are not voted for a particular nominee and shares present by proxy where the stockholder properly withheld authority to vote for such nominee will not be counted toward that nominee's achievement of a plurality. For all other matters being submitted to stockholders at the Annual Meeting, the affirmative vote of the majority of shares present (in person or represented by proxy) and voting on that matter is required for approval. Shares voted to abstain, since they are not affirmative votes for a matter, will have the same effect as votes against that matter. ARE THERE ANY DISSENTER'S RIGHTS OF APPRAISAL? No. Under applicable provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law, the matters outlined in the Notice of Annual Meeting do not give rise to dissenters' rights of appraisal, whether or not stockholders approve of or disapprove of the matters being presented at the Annual Meeting. WHO IS SOLICITING THE VOTE? The Board of Directors of the Corporation is soliciting your vote. The Corporation will bear the entire cost of preparing, assembling, printing and mailing this proxy statement, the enclosed proxy and any additional material which may be furnished to stockholders. Further solicitation of proxies may be made by telephone or other communication. Brokers, custodians and fiduciaries in whose names Common Stock is held will be requested to forward proxy soliciting material to the beneficial owners of such stock and the Corporation will reimburse them for this service. Although we do not anticipate the need to engage a proxy solicitor, the Corporation may retain the services of a proxy solicitor if such services are deemed necessary. If necessary, the cost of such proxy soliciting services should not exceed $20,000. WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF MATTERS OTHER THAN THAT SET FORTH IN THE NOTICE OF ANNUAL MEETING ARE APPROPRIATELY RAISED AT THE ANNUAL MEETING? If any other matter should be presented at the Annual Meeting upon which a vote may properly be taken, Mr. Latorella and Mr. Fields will vote shares represented by all proxies received by the Board of Directors in accordance with their judgment. WHAT IS A STOCKHOLDERS' PROPOSAL? A stockholder proposal is a recommendation or requirement that the Corporation or our Board of Directors take action on a matter that you intend to present at a meeting of stockholders. However, under applicable rules, we have the ability to exclude certain matters proposed, including those that deal with matters relating to our ordinary business operations IF I WISH TO SUBMIT A STOCKHOLDER PROPOSAL FOR THE ANNUAL MEETING IN 2008, WHAT ACTION MUST I TAKE? If you wish us to consider including a nomination for the election of a director or any other stockholder proposal in the proxy statement for the Annual Meeting in 2008, you must submit the proposal, in writing, to our Corporate Secretary. The proposal must meet the requirements established by the Securities and Exchange Commission and set forth in our Bylaws (a copy of which is available upon request). Send your proposal to: SECRETARY LOCATEPLUS HOLDINGS CORPORATION 100 CUMMINGS CENTER SUITE 235M BEVERLY, MASSACHUSETTS 01915 If you wish to submit a stockholders' proposal for the 2008 Annual Meeting, you may be required to deliver a proxy statement and form of proxy to the holders of at least the percentage of our voting shares required under the Delaware General Corporation Law and our By-laws to approve your proposal, or, in the case of a nomination for election to the Board of Directors, you may be required to deliver a proxy statement and form of proxy to holders of a percentage of our voting shares as reasonably sufficient to elect the nominee (and in either case you will be required to provide those proxy solicitation materials to us). Proposals of stockholders intended to be presented at the 2008 Annual Meeting must be received no later than August 11, 2008 if the proposal is to be included in the proxy statement and form of proxy relating to that meeting. WHAT IS THE BOARD'S RECOMMENDATION REGARDING THE PROPOSALS INCLUDED IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT? The Board recommends that you vote FOR approval of the proposed amendment to the Corporation's Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and to expressly authorize the increase in the authorized shares of Common Stock. The Board also recommends that you vote FOR each of the nominees to the Corporation's Board of Directors * * * SPECIAL NOTE IF TWO OR MORE STOCKHOLDERS SHARE AN ADDRESS, WE MAY SEND A SINGLE COPY OF THIS PROXY STATEMENT AND OTHER SOLICITING MATERIALS TO THE SHARED ADDRESS, UNLESS WE HAVE RECEIVED CONTRARY INSTRUCTIONS FROM ONE OR MORE OF THE STOCKHOLDERS SHARING THE ADDRESS.

This proposal (the "Share Increase Proposal"), if approved, will become effective when the Corporation files the Certificate of Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. Please see Appendix C for a copy of the proposed Certificate of Amendment to our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation. PRINCIPAL EFFECTS OF THE INCREASE OF THE AUTHORIZED SHARES OF COMMON STOCK Adoption of the proposed amendment to our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and the issuance of the Common Stock would not affect the rights of the holders of our currently outstanding Common Stock, except for effects incidental to increasing the number of shares of our Common Stock outstanding, such as dilution of the earnings per share and voting rights of current stockholders. If the amendment to our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation is approved, it will become effective upon filing with the Secretary of State of Delaware. As of the close of business on July 5, 2008, we had 17,424,451 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding. There were also unexercised options and warrants issued to purchase 3,164,090 shares of Common Stock. After taking into account shares reserved for issuance pursuant to our Stock Option Plans, approximately 878,884 shares remained available for issuance. REASONS TO INCREASE THE AUTHORIZED SHARES OF COMMON STOCK We recommend an increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock for two primary reasons. First, the Company is in technical default on debt to its primary secured debt holder. One remedy available to the holder of this debt is foreclosure on all of the Company's assets. The Company wishes to avoid foreclosure by allowing the Debtor to convert the debt into equity based on the terms of the note. The Company currently does not have adequate shares authorized to allow the debt holder to fully convert this debt into equity. The terms of the note call for conversion into shares at $0.314 per share, however in default, the holder of the note may convert at the lower of $0.314 or 80% of the lowest daily Volume Weighted Average Price ("VWAP") of the Common Stock during the fifteen (15) consecutive Trading Days immediately preceding the applicable Installment Date. At June 12, 2008, the VWAP was $0.20, the lowest VWAP of the Common Stock during the fifteen (15) consecutive Trading Days immediately preceding June 12, 2008 was $0.0491 which would have allowed payments to be converted at $0.0393. At July 7, 2008, the remaining balance on the convertible secured debt was $2,875,100. To fully satisfy the remaining balance would require 9,156,370 shares if converted at a $0.314, if the lower default conversion at June 12, 2008, $0.0393, was used, 73,157,761 shares would be required to satisfy the obligation. At July 7, 2008 the Company had 2,791,674 shares available for conversion. And second the board is recommending an increase in authorized is to allow flexibility for business and financial purposes in the future. We may issue the additional shares of Common Stock for various purposes including, without limitation, expanding our business through the acquisition of other businesses, issuing stock dividends, raising capital, issuing stock options to officers, directors or employees and establishing strategic relationships with other companies. Unless required to do so by applicable law, a regulatory authority or a third party, further shareholder approval for the issuance of this common stock is not required. The Board of Directors believes the proposed increase in the authorized Common Stock will make a sufficient number of shares available should we decide to use our shares of Common Stock for one or more of the purposes identified above or otherwise. The additional shares of Common Stock that would become available for issuance if this proposal is adopted could also be used by us to oppose a hostile takeover attempt or delay or prevent changes in control or our management. Although the proposal to increase the authorized Common Stock has been prompted by business and financial considerations and not by the threat of any hostile takeover attempt (nor are we currently aware of any such attempts directed at us), shareholders should be aware that approval of this proposal could allow us to deter or prevent changes in control or other transactions with third parties, even if such transactions are actually favored by a majority of our shareholders, including transactions in which our shareholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares over then-current market prices. Currently, we do not have any plans with respect to the additional shares of Common Stock that would become available for issuance if this proposal is adopted. REQUIRED VOTE Approval of this proposal requires that a majority of common stock entitled to vote be present in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting and the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding common stock of the Corporation and a majority of the outstanding common stock is required to approve the proposal to amend the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation. Abstentions and Broker non-votes will have the effect of a vote against the proposal. RECOMMENDATION THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE IN FAVOR OF THE SHARE INCREASE PROPOSAL (PROPOSAL NO. 2).

By Order of the Board of Directors of LocatePLUS Holdings Corporation, James C. Fields Chief Executive Officer and President JULY 29, 2008 Appendix A 2007 AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors oversees the Company's financial reporting process on behalf of the Board. In addition, the Audit Committee recommends to the Board, subject to stockholder ratification, the selection of the Company's independent public accountants. Management is responsible for the Company's internal controls and the financial reporting process, including its system of internal controls, and for preparing the Company's financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. The Company's independent public accountants are responsible for auditing those financial statements and issuing a report thereon. The Audit Committee's responsibility is to monitor and oversee these processes. In this context, the Audit Committee has met and held discussions with management and the independent public accountants, both separately and together. Management has represented to the Audit Committee that the Company's audited financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and the Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the financial statements with management and the independent public accountants. The Audit Committee discussed with the independent public accountants the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61 (Communication with Audit Committees). In addition, the Audit Committee has discussed with the independent public accountants their independence from the Company and its management, including the written disclosures required by the Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 (Independence Discussions with Audit Committees). Finally, the Audit Committee has discussed with the Company's independent public accountants the overall scope and plans for their audits, the results of their examinations, the evaluations of the Company's internal controls and the overall quality of the Company's financial reporting. In its oversight function, the Audit Committee relies on the representations of management and the independent public accountants and thus does not have an independent basis to determine that management has maintained appropriate accounting and financial reporting principles or policies or appropriate internal controls and procedures, that the Company's financial statements are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S., that the audit of the Company's financial statements has been carried out in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the U.S. or that the independent public accountants are in fact "independent." Based upon the Audit Committee's discussions with management and the independent public accountants and the Audit Committee's review of the representations of management and the report of the independent public accountants to the Audit Committee, the Audit Committee recommended that the Board include the audited financial statements in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2007 for filing with the SEC. The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors: Appendix B COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT ON EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors is currently comprised of three directors. As members of the Compensation Committee, it is our responsibility to determine the most effective total executive compensation strategy based on the Company's business and consistent with stockholders' interests. The Compensation Committee's principal responsibilities include reviewing the Company's overall compensation practices, recommending compensation for key employees, making recommendations to the Board of Directors with respect to major compensation and benefit programs and administering the Company's 1999 Stock Option Plan, 2003 Stock Plan and other incentive plans. The Compensation Committee's compensation packages for our key employees are designed to retain and attract top quality employees and to encourage them to contribute to the achievement of the Company's business objectives. In addition, the Compensation Committee attempts to establish compensation packages that are comparable to the packages received by equivalent employees of similar companies. In compensating its key employees, the Company relies on a combination of salary and incentives designed to encourage efforts to achieve both the Company's short-term and long-term goals. The compensation structure attempts to reward both individual contributions as well as overall Company performance. Traditional measures of corporate performance, such as earnings per share or sales growth, are less applicable to the performance of relatively early stage information provider companies such as LocatePLUS Holdings Corporation than to mature information provider companies or companies in other industries. As a result, in making executive compensation decisions, the Compensation Committee evaluates other indications of performance, such as achieving milestones in the development and commercialization of the Company's products and raising and managing the capital needed for its operations. The Compensation Committee also reviews and considers input and recommendations from the Company's Chief Executive Officer concerning executive compensation. The basic components of the Company's compensation packages for key employees include the following: -base salary -bonuses -stock options and other equity awards Each employee's compensation package contains a mix of these components and is intended to provide a level of compensation competitive in the industry. Increases in base salary for 2007 were determined based on both individual and Company performance. The Compensation Committee considered the following factors, among others, in determining the salaries for key employees during 2007: progress in product development and commercialization of the Company's products and any special expertise or contributions of a particular employee. Bonuses are awarded by the Compensation Committee based upon its evaluation, in conjunction with the recommendations of the Company's Chief Executive Officer, of the performance of each employee and the achievement of the Company's and the employee's goals during the year. The granting of stock options and other equity-based awards aligns the long-term interests of each key employee with the interests of our stockholders and provides long-term incentives for the individual employee to remain with us. Grants are generally made to all employees on their date of hire based on salary level and position. All employees are eligible for subsequent discretionary grants, which are generally made on an annual basis and are based on either individual or corporate performance or a combination of the two.
