FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., SENSE HOLDINGS, INC. (SENSE): (OTC Bulletin Board: SEHO.OB - News), a leading provider of biometrically secured authentication and identification systems, announced today it has signed a memo of understanding (MOU) for strategic co-development and marketing with Applied DNA Sciences, Inc., (OTC Bulletin Board: APDN - News), a leading provider of proprietary DNA-embedded security solutions. The two companies will co-develop applications and products targeting corporate, government, and commercial clients with the integration of Sense biometric and smartcard technology with Applied DNA Sciences' embedded DNA biotechnology products. The new venture will target security applications, access control, time and attendance and the elimination of identity theft using card-based applications with a biometric layer.



According to the Federal Trade Commission, there were 9.9 million victims of identity theft last year, costing consumers $5 billion.

Applied DNA Sciences uses the unique and difficult-to-replicate characteristics of DNA by combining biotechnology and micro-electronic technology. Proprietary production techniques process combinations of botanical DNA for integration into a non-silicon based chip, creating a DNA security access microchip.

"Integrating our biometrics and proprietary middleware with this groundbreaking DNA technology adds uncompromised security to any card-based application," said Dore Perler, chief executive officer and co-founder of SENSE Holdings, Inc. (http://www.senseme.com).

"Incorporating an additional layer of biometric security to our existing and future product lines will provide a superior layer of security and means for authenticating and identifying the origin of products for our customers and government officials," said Larry Lee, chief executive officer of Applied DNA Sciences, Inc. "Sense's expertise in biometrics and custom integration work, coupled with our embedded-DNA technology, should produce a superior product for the market place," Lee continued.
