IDFR is not done. Next week will be large: (PR NEWSWIRE) ID Four Announces Solution for California's Pre-Emptive Rolling ID Four Announces Solution for California's Pre-Emptive Rolling Blackout Alerts SAN DIEGO, Calif., May 25 /PRNewswire/ -- ID Four Ltd., (OTC Bulletin Board: IDFR), The company's Board of Directors announced meetings with California State Senators offices, and Utility Companies re: Pre-Emptive Rolling Blackout Alerts. The Board of Directors of ID Four, today announced they have been in negotiations with the various governing organizations in California, regarding Pre-Emptive Rolling Blackout by use of ID Four's Intelligent Digital Communications Technology. Yesterday's demonstration to one of California's State Senator's offices, quickly demonstrated how in a matter of minutes how an audio and visual alert could be sent to computer users in the designated zip codes within minutes of a notification by Caliso of an impending power reduction. This method of immediate notification can be sent by a single programmer to the entire area to be affected in a matter of minutes, allowing both the general public, Businesses and Public Safety officials to act proactively to take the necessary measures for everyone's safety during the power interruption. During yesterday's meeting, discussions on the advance warnings included: how building management companies could prevent people from being trapped in elevators, and how Businesses could take steps to save food and health products safely. Valuable computer data could be saved as a result of advance warning. Public safety officials, [Caltrans and Police Departments] could dispatch additional staff to the Blackout areas before they occur. ID Four is also scheduled to meet with one of California's leading Utility Company's early next week to demonstrate the effectiveness of this Technology. The Board of Directors of ID Four also reconfirmed that this is a customized version of ID Four's proprietary IDC code, which is used as a Pre-Emptive problem solving program for use on Desktop computers. This demonstrates again how versatile and multi-functional the company's proprietary technology is. Please see attached California's Governors report dated May 24th 2001. Re: Rolling Blackout Alerts.

PR01:248 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 05/24/2001 GOVERNOR UNVEILS BLACKOUT WARNING PLAN SACRAMENTO Governor Gray Davis today announced his plan to provide California neighborhoods and businesses with notification of impending blackouts. "Here in California, blackouts have become the energy-era equivalent of an earthquake," Governor Davis said. "But, if blackouts are going to occur, there's no reason for us to be kept in the dark. We deserve as much advance warning as possible. Notice of impending blackouts is more than a question of convenience. It's vital to public safety." Governor Davis' plan will require notice of blackouts 48 hours, 24 hours and one hour in advance. -- "Rolling Blackout Alert" -- At 48 hours, the Independent System Operator will give Californians [Utility Companies] an "alert" if blackouts are likely to occur. From this time, the ISO will post hourly updates for the public over the Internet. -- "Location Notification" -- At 24 hours, utilities will be required to identify the neighborhoods scheduled for blackouts. -- "Blackout Warning" -- At one hour prior to an actual blackout, utilities will give a blackout warning, with the exact location and time of the impending blackout. "Currently, we've been receiving notice as late as two minutes before a blackout," Governor Davis said. "A two-minute warning might work fine for the NFL, but it doesn't work for our consumers and businesses. Warnings allow law enforcement to send personnel to busy intersections. Warnings encourage people to avoid elevators. Warnings help people who run day care to prepare at home."
