ID Data wins major contract for retail loyalty project worth 1.5 million

ID Data Group plc, the smart card and card solutions group, today announces that
it has been awarded a contract by one of Europe's leading retailers to assist in
the re-launch of its award winning loyalty program. The contract, which involves
the delivery of personalised loyalty cards with patented key fobs, is expected
to impact on ID Data's second half results for the year ended 31 March 2008 by
adding approximately 1.5 million of new sales.

ID Data has a solid reputation within Europe for delivering high quality loyalty
card solutions. ID Data has a proven ability to deliver complete solutions in
the retail sector where client demand involves large volumes of sophisticated
and personalised cards and associated items delivered in short time frames. In
the past, ID Data has delivered the successful launch of Tesco Clubcard, Boots
Advantage and Nectar, amongst many others loyalty programs across Europe.

The new contract will use a patented key fob design, which has a strong proven
track record in global retail programs. ID Data's key fob, which offers
longevity combined with a wide range of reading POS technologies including
barcodes, magnetic stripe and RFID, has passed numerous independent tests and
has outperformed competitive product offerings.

Commenting on this contract win Peter Cox, CEO of the ID Data Group plc said,

'We have been through a very tough trading period where competitors have forced
prices down to levels where we understand clients were buying lower-quality
product through following a price driven procurement policy. This contract
demonstrates our commitment to adhere to our stated principles of only accepting
contracts at the right price and focusing on clients who demand both quality and
leading edge technology to protect their brand integrity.'

'This contract win resulted from our proven capabilities and the delivery of
innovative products that provide true value for money through cost savings from
longer life cycles. Many retailers are now looking at the total product life
cycle costs associated with their loyalty and gift card programs and have
realised that investment in initial high quality card/fob pack costs is
necessary to reduce ongoing costs including call centre complaints, lack of
product in the hands of their customers and postal costs of replacements.'

'Over the last two years, ID Data has suffered a loss of business from choosing
to not compete with unrealistic margins. This contract, together with others
under current negotiation, show increasing awareness of the link between quality
and price, and subsequently the importance of choosing a proven and trusted
provider rather than attractive prices. For this reason we have seen many
clients returning to ID Data over the last months, who have recognised the need
to focus on quality and customer service.'

'The name of our client cannot be disclosed at this time due to commercial
confidentiality, but will be released on completion of the contract and their
appropriate consent.'

idd .3 of a pee, might as well be bankruft and get it over with.

Might as well.yes.

Capital restructure at .5 of a pee, (I expect), so they can all keep their highly paid jobs. My retirement plan in the dustbin, back to stacking shelves in Tescos.

Lets hope that the contract win re last rns comes good and that further wins and news will put some life into the sp,having said that i really do think ,last chance for IDD.

Alliance and Leicester to create new pre-paid card company at a cost of 4 million, another missed contract ?

Probably!!!

hooray the latest interims are out and things are looking better. definitely feel 2008 will be a year of increased activity for IDD. well that's my hope anyway. good luck fellow sufferers, i'm keeping faith with this one tucking them away for a few more years at this crazy price. have a merry xmas and brilliant 2008 to one and all !!

Blimey,the dog has barked,this really could be the begining of a bright new future.

BUT,
No one is buying,guess they are tired of IDD,s promises.

Fuchusmeus, what's going on?, reporting in normal hours and the P word mentioned again. Have a good christmas and 2008 yourself uksamoa and all.

love and christmas greetings to all idd posters ! I hope we have a better year,idd has been surprisingly disappointing ,something is keeping me in though!

Red again, that's more like it, good old idd. I spoke to Stuart Dawkins from Alliance & Leicester about their recent purchase of the pre-paid card company. The company already made the cards for AL., they just want the business inhouse because he reckons the market is going to be huge, so even without the identity card, the pre-paid card might get us in the black. (Where's that straw?)

WHY sell now?

I expect it's the same reason across the market capetown, anything that doesn't make a profit is in the toilet, ght just raised money at 110p, now 53p, nng raised money at 3p, now 1.25p.

On a lighter note, has anyone noticed that since idd left the UK and went to Poland, half the Polish population has left Poland and moved to the Uk?

Thats me in for another 100,000. I am putting these in my top drawer as I feel in a years time they may have to come out. 2008 will be a great year. Fingers crossed. Merry Christmas everyone.

i hope your right grandad! have a good christmas
