GVC Capital LLC Raises Price Target on ID Watchdog

ID Watchdog, Inc. (TSX.V:IDW) (OTCQX:IDWAF), which provides acclaimed consumer-facing identity theft protection and resolution services, today announced the release of an in-depth research update by Analyst Michael Shonstrom of fee-based research firm and investment bank GVC Capital LLC, formerly Bathgate Capital Partners LLC.

As part of its detailed analysis GVC Capital LLC has raised its price target on ID Watchdog to $1.00 per share.

"Over the past several weeks we have announced a series of strategic partnerships and growth initiatives, including our marketing agreement with Amacore, our benefits program with Miami-Dade, and the highly anticipated launch of our new idCHECK product,” said Daniel Mohan, President and COO at ID Watchdog. "As we roll out these innovative marketing and customer retention initiatives, this comprehensive report provides investors with an in-depth overview of ID Watchdog’s unique total identity protection service, detailed financial analysis and our outlook in 2010 and beyond.”

From the GVC Capital LLC Report:

"Given the limited features of competitive products, and the necessity for those companies to access new and more costly data sources, the opportunity for ID Watchdog to differentiate its offering has improved. Repeatedly, in head-to-head competitions, ID Watchdog has been the preferred solution over other products. ID Watchdog offers everything provided by credit bureaus through its relationship with Trans Union, accesses a larger set of consumer data than other ID theft companies, while also providing an instant verification capability enabling idCheck, plus ICard certification plus Acxiom Certified Background Reports and importantly ID Rehab.”

In addition to its numerous industry leading services and offerings, the report also details ID Watchdog’s technology infrastructure, strong management team, expanding marketing channels, current financial results, recent partnership agreements and outlook over the next twelve months. The report concludes:

"Consumer demand for substantive identity protection continues to grow, interest in the part of consumer information companies to participate in this market continues to expand and investor appetites for participation in this industry is yet to be filled. We are raising our rating to Speculative Buy with a $1.00 price target.”

• Exclusive data supply agreement signed with Acxiom provides access to database of 300 million current demographic records, an extensive white label list and access to the only remaining major database repository without a consumer identity theft product.

• Enhanced call center strategy has increased new subscriber potential from 650 to 2,000 per day. Growth is expected to make segment EBITDA positive in Q1 2010.
