  ORLANDO, FL, Jun 06 (MARKET WIRE) -- 
 IDS Worldwide, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: IDWD) announced today that the company has
completed a merger with Avalon Technology Group, Inc. (ATG). The Board of
Directors felt this merger was in the best interest of IDS shareholders and
the outstanding IDS shares presently held shall remain outstanding and are not
affected by this merger. All the estate, property, rights, privileges, powers
and franchises of IDS shall vest in the new company.

    Avalon Technology Group (ATG) also released publicly today the specifics
ofthe leading biometric technology products the company has been selling to
the public and private sectors. ATG has begun distribution of the world's first
Biometric Encryption Mouse FIPS 140-2 Compliant with 256 AES Encryption that
is VISTA compatible. The proprietary software includes Windows Auto Logon,
Screen
Saver Lock, Password Bank, 256 AES encryption and Application Protection.

    Microsoft has announced its intention to cease distribution of the Microsoft
XP operating system effective June 30, 2008.  After this date any desktops
and/or laptop manufacturers will only release products with the Vista
operating system when choosing a Microsoft operating system. There are
currently 140 Million Microsoft Vista licenses in use. There are
approximately 4 biometric encryption mouses currently in the world and ATG's
biometric encryption mouse is the only Vista compatible device. ATG
anticipates shipping approximately 1 Million units of the biometric mouse in
the coming fiscal year to current and future public and private sector clients.

    Avalon Technology Group (ATG) also introduced the world's first Biometric
Encryption Time Clock and Wiegand Security interface with WiFi capability. The
ATG-CTC201 is a multi-function device which can be used for biometric time and
attendance tied to payroll systems and simultaneously the unit can be used
for security access control with up to three factor authentication. The
ATG-CTC201 unit
is the world's first WiFi capable biometric time clock and access control
module eliminating the expensive and time consuming process to retro fit into
existing facilities. The unit is compatible with EM, Mifare or HID proximity
cards and can register 1500 employees.

    ATG's biometric access control devices provide corporate and government
agencies
with significant technology and pricing advantages over its competitors. ATG
has no competitors with a WiFi enabled biometric time and attendance and
access control device. ATG and its affiliates are currently working on numerous
corporate and government agency contracts with this breakthrough technology.

    ATG and its affiliates currently conduct government sales under three GSA
contracting vehicles including Minority Owned Women Business and Service
Disabled
Veteran Owned Small Business that specialize in providing commercial and
government
entities with quality services, software and biometric technologies.

    Avalon Technology Group's security counsel has applied for a new stock
symbol
to better reflect the new company name, strategies and technology products. Now
that
the merger has been completed Avalon Technology associates will work to release
the
new corporate website shortly.
