HLS reported that international governments and their defense departments have ordered the HLS Bioflash to protect their countries' government and military operations. HLS has also informed IDS that some of the largest defense contracting companies in the world have also purchased the HLS Bioflash to secure their data networks around the world. HLS is currently closing two unsolicited offers from the largest electronics distributors in Australia and the United Kingdom for exclusive rights for the distribution of HLS Biometric products in those territories. HLS expects both of the deals to close in the next 5 business days.

The finalization of these two exclusive distribution agreements will add to already projected revenues in the coming year of approximately $75 Million USD.

IDS reported that the merger talks for 995ad.com are continuing but have at a slower pace due to the availability of IDS CEO, Patrick Downs, for medical reasons. IDS CEO will meet again with his orthopedic surgeons again tomorrow for further treatment of a serious neck and back injury sustained in late August. Both parties still anticipate the closing of the merger prior to October 1, 2006.
