EDP OF FRANCE AWARDS CONTRACT IN EXCESS OF $500,000 TO ADVANCED ID’S PNEU-LOGIC UNIT

Advanced ID Corporation (OTCBB: AIDO), a leading developer of radio frequency identification (“RFID”) technology for livestock tracking, pet recovery and supply chain applications focusing on the tire management industry, today announced that its strategic distribution partner Electronic Data Process (“EDP”) of Grenoble, France, has substantially increased its 2009 contract requirements from Advanced ID’s Pneu-Logic division in excess of $500,000. Based on the success of industry leading URM and Tyre Parc tire management software solutions, EDP has not only continued it’s dominance in Europe but has also made significant inroads for marketing these products in Asia and Africa.

“We are pleased that our relationship with EDP continues to flourish,” said Dan Finch, President of Advanced ID. “While the primary reason for increased requirements from EDP for our Pneu-Logic products has resulted from the vision, determination and truly collaborative efforts of our two businesses and our work with some of the most prestigious blue chip tire and automotive fleet management customers, another trend has emerged that supports even greater demand in the very near future. This trend is the unfortunate global economic downturn, especially in the automotive and truck industry, which has put forth mandates that are now more important than ever to protect the capital investments made in tire assets, reap the cost savings and efficiencies of properly maintaining tires, and, with RFID technology, mitigate the losses associated with increasing commercial tire theft issues.”

According to EDP, URM software continues to be the solution of choice for Michelin and its Service Partners throughout Europe, the Middle and Far East and Asia, and continues to deliver a feature rich solution based on Pneu-Logic’s fully integrated electronic data capture tools. Beyond collaborating on the commercialization of advanced maintenance and management solutions for the truck tire industry, EDP and Pneu-Logic have worked closely together on the development of solutions for the off road tire (“OTR”) market. With the recent launch of the Pneu-Logic OTR tire probe and EDP’s OTR version of Tyre Parc, this same comprehensive solution is now available to the Off Road and earth moving sectors. Early indications from the OTR channel suggest that these products and related services will very successful.

“We attribute many of our successes in 2008 to the collaboration and partnership that EDP has had with Pneu-Logic,” said EDP President Jean Luc Giusti. Mr Giusti continued, “Both EDP and Pneu-Logic have seen very strong revenue growth in Europe and Asia because of the healthy relationships with our customers and our ability to deliver robust, fully functional solutions for tire and casing management. I see 2009 revenues growing much faster than 2008, even though Europe is in a difficult financial period, in large part because it is now more important than ever to manage tires more efficiently and keep operational costs to the absolute minimum.”

The contract extension announced today, valued at over $500,000 solely for phase one inspection equipment in 2009, could be doubled with the inclusion of RFID components. Combining tire management and maintenance technologies with Advanced ID’s RFID capabilities will even further the appeal of this platform for all sectors of the tire market in 2009. Implementation projects for combined RFID and EDP inspection solutions are already underway with customers in Europe, Asia and Latin America.
