Precise Biometrics Awarded Software Order to Department of State Worth Approx. USD 620,000 (SEK 4 Million)

Precise Biometrics has been awarded an order to supply a software
upgrade for the US Department of State's biometric employee ID card
program. The software upgrade adds Windows Vista support to the
existing Precise Match-on-Card(TM) solution at the State Department.
The total order value for Precise Biometrics is SEK 4 million.

Precise Match-on-Card(TM) technology enables government employees at
American embassies and consulates all over the world to log onto
networks and systems using their fingerprints.

The order, which is worth SEK 4 million, comprises licenses and
toolkits that enables existing Precise Match-on-Card(TM) software and
already deployed fingerprint readers to comply with Windows Vista.
On-site support and integration services are also included in the
order. The delivery will be made during September and October 2008.

The US Department of State is rolling out the Match-on-Card solution
to new users on a monthly basis and will within a few years have more
than 60,000 users enrolled in the system.
Precise Match-on-Card(TM) is the process of storing and matching
fingerprint information on a smart card to establish the presence of
an individual. As the fingerprint information does not leave the
card, there is no need for a database and the cardholder's integrity
is preserved.

According to the Department of State's own calculations, the
biometric logon system saves the organization millions of US dollars
annually in reduced password administration costs.

Precise Biometrics' CEO, Thomas Marschall, sees the expansion of
Precise Match-on-Card(TM) usage in the US as another strong
confirmation of the company's position as the market leader within
this field."The US Department of State is running the most successful biometric
government ID card program to date. Repeated follow-up orders like
this are additional proof that our technology works in the long run.
The department has used and endorsed our technology for years, and we
are proud that they expand their use of our Match-on-Card and
continue to invest in this system. This is also hands on proof that
Match-on-Card prove can co-exist with PIV*. We have seen that
biometric employee programs like this have attracted interest in
other American agencies as well as from governments in countries
worldwide, mainly due to its success and advantages when it comes to
security, cost-efficiency and interoperability.", says Thomas
Marschall.

Precise Biometrics has during the year successfully supplied
Match-on-Card to other US customers, such as FRAC (First Responders
Access Card), NASA, FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) and one of
the largest US Police Departments.

Precise Biometrics has more than 12 million deployed card licenses
and close to 80 million contracted licenses for its Match-on-Card
technology.

* PIV is a biometric US government card program for Personal Identity
Verification of federal employees and contractors mandated by
presidential directive HSPD-12. Today, PIV does not include
Match-on-Card technology. http://www.nist.gov
