Ticker Symbol: U:AIDO


CALGARY, AB -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 09/27/06

Advanced ID Corporation (OTCBB: AIDO), a radio frequency identification (RFID) technology provider, has announced a technology and sales partnership with Manakoa Services Corporation, a security technology company with anti-counterfeiting DNA, optical marker technology and tag and trace products for the global security marketplace. The companies have embarked on a unique joint technology undertaking to cross-market their respective technologies to provide a fully integrated product authentication and supply chain integrity system starting with DNA's forensic authentication of individual products in primary packaging labels, papers and inks, linked to advanced RFID on packaging and cartons in the global supply chain.

Advanced ID markets low frequency (LF) RFID microchips, scanners, and its pet identification database as well as ultra high frequency (UHF) DataTRAC(TM) and TireTRAC tags, readers, and trace back management solutions. The target markets are pharmaceuticals, beauty products, automotive and tires, fine art and collectibles, biosecurity, food safety and shipping applications.

While there are many RFID firms in the marketplace, this is the first marriage of molecular biology at the fundamental DNA level, coupled to radio frequency identification of products in the supply chain.

Chris Outwater, President of Manakoa, said, "We are eager to bring a new DNA + RFID integrated security technology to the global anti-counterfeit, anti-diversion marketplace. We can provide multi-layered, seamless integration for corporations. For example, there are scores of RFID paper labels... but there is no DNA RFID paper label."

Dan Finch, President & Chief Executive Officer of Advanced ID, said, "Our ultra high frequency (UHF) RFID technology offers increased data transfer speed, extended read range, comparable pricing to bar code tags and unparalleled reliability in harsh operating environments such as those generally inherent in processing plants. Extending our reach into product and packaging identification with DNA molecular security is a natural extension of our high technology RFID product line. We are excited about this strategic agreement."
