ORLANDO, FL -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 11/03/06 -- IDS Worldwide, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: IDWD) has been
informed by HLS Worldwide that HLS is engaging Worldwide Security
Acquisitions, LLC (WSA) to be its Worldwide Manufacturing, Distribution and
Marketing Partner. WSA has purchased IDS Worldwide, Inc. Distribution and
Administration Facilities effective today.

WSA engaged Breen and Associates, in early October, for the Contract
Offering of HLS Biometrics Products which was submitted to the GSA today.
WSA will takeover the SMT manufacturing operations for all the biometrics
products for HLS Worldwide at their facilities in Hong Kong.

WSA has been successful in attracting top Fortune 200 executives in the
past 10 days to join the company due to the enormous potential of the HLS
biometric products to be manufactured and marketed worldwide by the
company under its agreement with HLS Worldwide.


WSA has signed an employment agreement with Lori LaSpada who until her
recent resignation was the Senior Program Manager for Internal Computing
for AOL for the last 7 years. Mrs. LaSpada was also in charge of Asset
Management for all technology inventory for AOL. Mrs. LaSpada also
prepared research and evaluations as an analyst for the acquisitions and
strategic investment transactions involving AOL and MapQuest, PropHead,
Quack, iAmaze, Local Eyes, TiVo and Time Warner. Mrs. LaSpada upon
evaluating the HLS Biometric Encryption technology and market potential of
these cutting edge products, resigned from AOL to become the Vice
President of WSA in charge of Business Development and Marketing. At AOL
she was responsible for developing and maintaining business relationships
with Apple, Dell, Phillips, Cingular, Sprint/Nextel, and Verizon Wireless.
Mrs. LaSpada's vast experience in developing these business relationships
will enable WSA to rapidly expand its distribution channels for the HLS
biometric products under contract.



WSA also signed an employment agreement with Todd Speak who for the last 9
years was the Senior Director of Finance for Nextel Communications a
Fortune 200 leader in the telecommunications industry generating over $15
Billion sales revenues annually. Mr. Speaks has been appointed Chief
Financial Officer of WSA. Previously, Mr. Speak was also Controller for
Eckerd Drug Corporation for 7 years. After evaluating HLS biometric
technology Mr. Speak agreed to immediately join WSA and guide the company
as it transitions from a private company to a public company.



IDS, HLS and WSA will update additional significant events at the beginning
of the week that were not able to be updated today as executives from all
three companies have been at the Orlando headquarters in meetings 18 hours
a day for this entire week.
