CALGARY, Alberta, Feb 09, 2009 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- AIDO | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Advanced ID Corporation (OTCBB: AIDO | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating) issued the following Letter to Shareholders today:

Dear Advanced ID Shareholder:

As we enter the New Year, I would like to take this opportunity to summarize the goals we have established for 2009.

You are all well aware of the challenges we faced in 2008 with the systemic breakdown of the capital markets worldwide. More specific to Advanced ID, we experienced the meltdown of the auto industry which has greatly impacted the tire industry. Estimates of decreased global tire production are upwards of 40%. We are working to meet these challenges, and in order to deal with the crisis at hand, our Board has approved the following:

-- We are restructuring our UK and China operations. This has been done due to the overwhelming legal, accounting and compliance costs involving the management of our foreign operations. We are no longer pursing the acquisition of DDCT and we are presently in preliminary negotiations for cross licenses and exclusivity to benefit both parties. We believe we can achieve a comparable economic benefit to completing such a transaction through exclusive licenses.

-- We have implemented a company wide cost reduction program which will result in significant reductions in expenses in 2009. Included in that program is a new plan that has all of our sales managers and sales organizations compensation plans more closely aligned with sales results. Our revised salary and commission structure will result in a reduction of overhead and increased revenue.

-- In view of the adverse economic conditions impacting both shareholders and the company, Company Board members have relinquished stock they received for services in 2008.

-- Hubert Meier, our Asia based Director, has resigned effective February 1, for personal reasons. Hubert has agreed to continue as a consultant to Advanced ID.

Looking ahead, we believe our two core businesses, pet recovery and tire management for fleet owners, operate in markets that are relatively recession-resistant. We see strong opportunities to increase market share both internally and through the introduction of new products in coming months. For example, in our pet recovery business, we have shipped 10,000 companion animal microchips this week to Beijing and we have received our first order for readers and tags from Peru.

As part of our restructuring, we are increasing our global sales and support capabilities by allowing Advanced ID, Brazil to focus its efforts throughout South America. In 2009, we will have critical local customer support in this very important market.

The results of our restructuring efforts will become evident in coming quarters in the form of stronger cash flow results. In spite of the uncertain economic environment, we remain cautiously optimistic.

Accordingly, we are taking a number of other measures in order to conserve resources, including some in the area of employee compensation. We will continue to look for other areas in the Company's operations where costs can be reduced, without impairing the core strengths of the Company.

We realize that all shareholders are concerned with the share price, The Board believes that increased revenue will be the best way to strengthen shareholder equity.

In summary, I believe we are well positioned to meet the challenges presented in 2009. I thank you for your continued support, and I look forward to frequent communications with you over the coming the year.

Sincerely

Seymour Kazimirski, Chairman
