IDS & HLS to Acquire Existing US Security Firms and Open Manufacturing Facility
or HLS Biometric Products in the US



ORLANDO, FL -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 06/15/06 -- IDS Worldwide, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: IDWD) announced
today that it has signed a joint venture agreement with HLS Worldwide to
acquire existing security companies in the United States. These acquired
companies will be able to utilize HLS state-of-the-art Worldwide VOIP and
Video Monitoring Centers. Most municipalities in the United States are now
requiring video and/or voice verification before responding to private
alarm alerts.



There is currently a major consolidation in the US Security Industry as the
major of independent security dealers cannot afford the major
infrastructure expenses to comply with the new video and voice verification
rules. HLS has budgeted $50,000,000 for US Acquisitions some of which are
expected to close in the next 10-15 days.





HLS Security Systems have become a household brand name in less than one
year of operations overseas. HLS and IDS in this joint venture plan to
bring HLS first class security products and services to the United States
by quickly arranging the purchase of up to 100,000 security accounts in the
United States by the end of the next quarter. These purchases will
represent approximately $2.5-$3 Million in additional monthly revenues.



IDS is purchasing a new US Headquarters that combines 25,000 sq.ft. of
office, warehouse and manufacturing that will enable IDS to consolidate its
operations to one location. The outer shell of the building is completed
and IDS expects interior buildout to be completed in the next 60 days.
HLS is also in the design stages of a new 150,000 sq.ft. headquarters
located in Dubai, UAE. HLS expects to earn significantly increased revenues
in Dubai whose construction boom is expected to last until 2016. HLS
expects to receive a substantial amount of the fire and security
installation for these projects.
