True Product ID Signs Major Contract with China Federation of Industry and Commerce Auto & Motorbike Parts Articles for Use Chamber of Commerce

BEIJING & PHILADELPHIA--Richard A. Bendis, President and CEO of True Product ID, Inc. (TPID) (OTCBB:TPDI) announced that its Chinese joint venture, True Product ID Technology (Beijing) Limited, has signed a nationwide contract with the China Federation of Industry and Commerce Auto & Motorbike Parts Chamber Of Commerce (AMP) and Hainan Yayuan Anti-Counterfeiting Paper Industrial Ltd. With this contract, True Product ID is poised to enter the Chinese automobile and motorcycle, and automobile parts markets, both of which are constantly plagued by the ever-growing problem of counterfeiting. China is the fastest growing motor vehicle market and the fastest growing vehicle producer in the world. Likewise, the Chinese automobile parts industry is growing rapidly. With the U.S. having imported $5.4 billion in automobile parts from China in 2005, and with many of the worlds leading auto manufacturers using more Chinese automobile parts, sources project that by 2007 approximately 70% of all car parts, including those used by the major world auto manufacturers, will come from China and that by 2009 the Chinese automobile parts industry will be over a $58 billion business.

This multi-year contract involving the Chinese government represents a huge step forward for TPID, as its anti-counterfeiting technology will be used by Chinese government as an intellectual property protection tool on automobiles and motorcycles manufactured in China. TPID technology will be registered with the National Industrial and Commercial Bureau, and the Chinese government has initially mandated over one hundred automobile producing and marketing enterprises to use TPIDs tagging technology to protect their intellectual property. Exclusively TPIDs technology will be used, with TPID Beijing providing the technology and Hainan Yayuan printing the tags. The Chinese government has designated the Chinese automobile industry as a strategic pillar industry and thus has taken an active involvement in developing the industry (both domestically and internationally), TPID believes that this contract should pave the way for its technology to be similarly accepted in other key industries in China (both for domestic use and export), such as healthcare, electronics, and finance.

TPID CEO Richard Bendis stated, "TPID is excited to partner with AMP, recognized as the official body and regulator of the PRC Auto Market. This agreement confirms that TPID's anti-counterfeiting technology is recognized as one of the leading, comprehensive, integrated solutions, capable of addressing complex challenges for many diverse industries and product applications." Echoing Mr. Bendiss statements, TPID Beijing President Li Ning stated, The AMP contract presents a significant opportunity for TPID and its technology. There are over 20 Chambers of Commerce in China. With this contract, TPID should have the opportunity to pursue several other industries in the future.

An official and ceremonial press conference and contract signing ceremony will be held at the Great Hall of the People in November 2006. This media event will be attended by 200-300 people including Chinese government officials, over one hundred automobile manufacturers, and more than 150 retail motor stores which deal in the sales, spare parts, services and surveys of particular brands of cars. Because its technology will be used by the Chinese government and has been registered with the National Industrial and Commercial Bureau, TPID anticipates that many of the automobile enterprises attending the Great Hall of the People ceremony could also sign contracts with TPID.

AMP was founded in 2002 by the China Federation of Industry and Commerce, a national organization, to regulate, standardize and overhaul the Chinese Auto & Motorbike Parts & Accessories Industry. It has partnered with the State Administration for Industry and Commerce Association, State Administration of Quality Supervision and other ministries, to launch a series of campaigns related to "Cracking down on Counterfeits", which have been widely recognized by many enterprises and industries.
