NeoMedia Signs Merger Agreement to Acquire Mobile Visual Search Pioneer Mobot, Inc.
FORT MYERS, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 9, 2006-- NeoMedia Technologies, Inc. (OTC BB: NEOM), an innovator in wireless services and patented technologies that provide automatic links to Mobile Internet-based information, announced today that it has signed a merger agreement with Mobot(R), Inc., of Lexington, Mass., a pioneer in mobile visual recognition technology. NeoMedia expects the transaction to close this month.

Charles T. Jensen, NeoMedia's president and CEO, said the acquisition and merger, which was announced in a non-binding Letter of Intent last August, is expected to be completed shortly for an aggregate of $10 million in cash and NeoMedia stock.

Mobot's visual search technology connects mobile consumers with international brands, including L'Oreal(R), Samsung(R) and Saturn(R), major media companies, including ELLEgirl(R), VIBE(R) and JANE(R) magazines and leading music labels, including WEA (Warner Music Group's U.S. sales and retail marketing company). Mobot campaigns require no changes to existing visual media and work seamlessly with all wireless carriers.

A Mobile Marketing Breakthrough

"We are leading the way to create and offer new opportunities to marketers, carriers and consumers through the use of mobile camera phones," said Russell Gocht, Mobot's CEO and founder.

"With our technology, for the first time, brands can use their existing visual properties, such as packages, billboards and print ads, to trigger powerful mobile interactivity."

Mobot's best-in-class solution requires no download and supports all camera phones in the market, using picture messaging on the handsets to connect with Mobot's visual recognition platform and deliver back SMS, MMS and WAP push interactivity. Now, as part of NeoMedia's (http://www.neom.com) patented portfolio of mobile marketing-enabling technology, Mobot can provide linkage directly to the Mobile Internet.

'A Mobile Marketing Supercompany'

"By acquiring Mobot and pairing its leading-edge applications and products with our patented technology platform, NeoMedia has brought together and pooled the collective talents of two mobile marketing industry leaders and innovators," said Mr. Jensen.

"NeoMedia's plan is to become a mobile marketing supercompany," Mr. Jensen said. "In the coming months and years, as cellular technology matures as the newest and most exciting advertising and marketing medium, NeoMedia plans to provide a range of solutions, including products and applications offered by Mobot, to stimulate the global growth and acceptance of mobile marketing."

Mobot will continue to be headquartered in the Boston suburb of Lexington, and its founder Russell Gocht will remain CEO, reporting to Martin Copus, NeoMedia's COO and chief executive of NeoMedia's PaperClick(R) (http://www.paperclick.com) wireless business unit.

Camera Phones Empowering Marketing

"Like NeoMedia's patented PaperClick technology, Mobot's technology utilizes camera phones to empower both businesses and consumers with genuinely innovative mobile connectivity," said Mr. Copus.

"Mobot's application is fast and easy for consumers to use - they simply snap a picture of an enabled ad or other visual, and picture-message it to Mobot for an immediate response," he said. "Media companies and brand marketers in the U.S., Europe and Asia/Pacific are already discovering just how powerful a consumer proposition this is, and we are very excited about adding Mobot's solution and talented team to the NeoMedia fold.

IDS Executives Reach Agreement With HLS for $2.35 Cash Buyout Terms
Monday August 14, 9:40 am ET


HLS Makes $25 Million Commitment for Worldwide Headquarters in Dubai


ORLANDO, FL--(MARKET WIRE)--Aug 14, 2006 -- IDS Worldwide, Inc. (Other OTC:IDWD.PK - News) reported today that over the weekend the terms of the HLS $2.35 cash buyout of IDS common stock have been finalized. IDS executives have extended their stay in Dubai throughout this week to establish closing contingencies and escrow accounts. HLS has informed IDS now that final terms have been reached for both publicly held and insider's common stock. Their legal advisors can now complete the necessary paperwork for the official tender documents and the associated $50 Million Bond Offering. HLS executives informed IDS that tentatively 50% of the bond offering have been verbally committed by international investors.
IDS and HLS after meetings this week with legal, banking and accounting advisors will release definitive details and timelines pertaining to the final closing of the transaction. Each common stockholder of IDS common shares (Other OTC:IDWD.PK - News) will receive $2.35 per share cash for each share of common stock owned. IDS majority insiders approved to receive HLS bonds and stock for their IDS common shares.



IDS and HLS executives also initiated plans this past week for moving IDS operations to Dubai. In relation to these discussions HLS this weekend purchased land from the land surrounding Dubai's new high technology convention center in the multi-billion dollar development project called "The City" and is on the most desired road in the city, Emirates Road. The property is directly linked to the convention center and will greatly increase HLS corporate presence in the international business community with the traffic from the convention center.

IDS CEO Patrick Downs stated, "I am very pleased with both the progress in reaching the final terms for this transaction with HLS that will reward the common stockholders of IDS both in the short term and for many years to come with the ever increasing value of the HLS dividend shares. HLS and IDS executives share the same vision for establishing long term growth for their stockholders. I believe there is no other region in the world, like the UAE and more specifically Dubai, that will enable triple digit growth for at least the next decade.

HLS is building a $25 Million 250,000 sq. ft. headquarters for HLS worldwide operations consisting of IDS corporate offices, Security Monitoring Center and Research and Development laboratories. IDS will occupy a portion of the building and share research and development facilities to continue to develop cutting edge technologies in the software and biometric security industries.

This joint venture between HLS and IDS scientists and engineers have already begun production of their latest breakthrough technology the HLS Biometric Encryption Cell Phone which will arrive in the US market in the next 60 days. IDS and HLS are at least a year ahead of worldwide telecommunication companies that are planning to release similar technology. HLS proprietary 384-bit 18 layer encryption combined with biometric authentication will allow wireless encrypted banking and brokerage transactions from a user's cell phone for the 1st time in the United States. HLS plans to auction of the rights to this technology to the cellular phone industry this quarter with an opening bid of $400 Million plus ongoing royalties.

IDS software and engineering teams will develop applications and games for the HLS biometric encryption cell phone users. IDS scientists are also releasing to production teams this quarter the 1st biometric remote control residential and business security system in the United States in this quarter. This cutting edge technology will eliminate the need for passwords for alarm panels in residences and businesses. The technology also includes a biometric remote control carried on a user's key chain that allows biometric activation and deactivation of alarms systems along with a biometric activated panic button. This biometric security system has a wide range of applications with customizable software that also can be used to report ingress and egress activities and time and attendance in real time at an administrator station. Practical applications consist of nursing homes, college campuses, office towers and government buildings that allow an administrator from a central location in a matter of seconds to change or eliminate authorization of entry credentials to any area of the facilities.

IDS engineers in conjunction with HLS will build a nationwide security monitoring station in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) that will go into service this coming Monday. The Dubai Division already has requests from 240 customers for immediate installation of HLS security and fire equipment and monitoring services. Dubai currently has over $85 Billion in Construction underway and with HLS connections the company is positioned to capture a large percentage of this construction demand for fire suppression installation and security infrastructure.

The Dubai news seems
to bring the deal closer to reality and makes fascinating reading.

IDS and HLS Update Buyout Offer for $2.35 per Common Share - IDS Executives Travel to Dubai to Finalize Buyout Agreement

ORLANDO, FL - Aug 8, 2006 - IDS Worldwide, Inc. (OTC PK: IDWD) l IDS executives left today to fly to Dubai to further finalize certain aspects of the transaction. IDS has given preliminary approval to the share buyout at $2.35 per common share on the condition it must be an all cash deal. IDS executives have found it necessary to travel to Dubai for finalizing escrow and examining financing arrangements to conclude the deal.

IDS previously reported as part of the closing process HLS will be required to place $5 Million in an Escrow account during the drafting of the formal tender offer to the shareholders. Additionally, the majority of IDS insiders are examining the possibility of accepting a mixture of HLS corporate bonds and/or HLS stock in exchange for their IDS common share in lieu of the $2.35 per share for their stock.

IDS previously reported that during the drafting of the formal tender offer and up to the closing of the transaction IDS has granted HLS request to be free to purchase shares of IDS common stock in the open market to lower HLS overall closing transaction cost. IDS was aware that the current market price of the stock does not reflect the overall value of the deal or the value of the remaining 995ad.com shares to be issued. Therefore, the company saw no reason to not agree to HLS request to reduce their total acquisition costs by allowing HLS to obtain shares thru open market buying at prices substantially lower than the final $2.35 cash offer. The conclusion of this cash offer to shareholders will enable the companies to final the necessary paperwork to convert the previously paid dividend from its restricted status to free trading shares.

Secondly, IDS is examining facilities for moving all corporate operations to Dubai's Internet City location joining Microsoft and other high tech Fortune 500 companies which have located here due to the favorable tax structure for such operations. Upon receipt of the formal tender offer and the placement of the required $5 Million in escrow, IDS will instruct it advisor's to draft and file the necessary paperwork to separate the 995ad.com division from the remainder of IDS holdings. IDS had previously stated, and these plans have not changed, that 995ad.com will pursue it's own registration.

IDS will ask it's advisor's to determine the methodology to transfer to each investor owning IDS common stock at the conclusion of the HLS $2.35 cash buyout their proportionate share ownership in the new 995ad.com company.

Upon completion of the buyout 995ad.com will locate it's headquarters in Dubai and the US Virgin Islands. The favorable tax status of these two locations with data center operations in the US Virgin Islands and administrative operations in Dubai will significantly increase net profit margins for overall operations.
