Your presence here tic_toc is indicative of the clock on the IDWS time bomb whose clicking rattles the brain! I'll just say EPS is already 0.21-0.23 and should the HLSD purchase take place, $1 will be added to the value of every IDWS share. You do the math however you like it.

IDS Worldwide, Inc. Updates HLS Division Buyout Offers
IDS Worldwide, Inc. - Addresses Shareholder Questions on HLS Offers
ORLANDO, FL, Oct 07, 2005 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) -- IDS Worldwide, Inc. (OTC: IDWS) today clarified some shareholders confusion over the two buyout offers for the Company's Homeland Security Division.
The value of "each" of the Buyout Offers as presented to IDS are in the $35-40 Million range depending on various closing contingencies. There was some investor confusion that both offers combined were in the $35-40 Million range and this is actually the value of each individual buyout offer.
IDS further wishes to clarify that the HLS buyout offers do not include the purchase of the Company's Biometric Security Technology. However, a technology license for these products are being discussed for additional compensation over and above the buyout offers for the HLS division.
IDS Board of Directors has requested both bidders to turn in their final offers by close of business October 7, 2005. IDS received an offer from a third bidder after yesterday's press release but the offer did not meet the value of the two offers previously under review. IDS Board of Directors will review both final offers during the weekend and the Board of Directors will accept the higher of the two final offers. This deal is expected to close in the coming week regardless of which offer is accepted.
