    Products and Services:

    BIO-key develops and licenses advanced biometric finger identification technology that is cost effective, scalable and easy to deploy.  Biometrics is the science and technology of measuring and statistically analyzing biological data.  Implementation of this technology enables users to verify identities through the submission of a biometric fingerprint sample. 

    We generate revenues by offering our biometric identification software solutions to civil and commercial enterprises.  Our patented, high-performance biometric finger identification technology accurately identifies and authenticates users of wireless and enterprise data to improve security, convenience and privacy while reducing identity theft. BIO-key’s biometric technology is a step ahead of AFIS or other biometric systems for real-time identification of individuals.  It provides a very discriminating set of data, allowing us to do positive identification based on a single finger scan.  Utilization of our biometric software technology provides corporations and agencies with the highest security to ensure the safety and steadfast protection of valuable information as well as the ultimate tool to prevent identity theft.

    History:

    BIO-key International Inc. a New Jersey based company, was formed in 1993 and became a publicly traded company in 1997.  In March 2004, BIO-key acquired Public Safety Group and in September 2004 BIO-key acquired Aether System’s Mobile Government Division. As a result of these acquisitions, BIO-key became the premier supplier in North America of mobile wireless technology for first responders. 

    In November of 2009, BIO-key sold the Law Enforcement Division to InterAct Public Safety Systems. The total purchase price paid to BIO-key for the Law Enforcement Division, after customary closing adjustments were made, was approximately $11.3 million. As a result of this sale, entering 2010 BIO-key is net debt free and focused with what we believe is the world’s most accurate and scalable finger biometric technology.  As the biometric market finally begins to emerge, we believe our long and sustained investment in technology, our premier biometric customers and our licensing and reseller business model provide us with the opportunity to be a high-margin growth business.
     

    "We are thrilled with the overwhelming support we have received from our shareholders for our vision, strategy and future. As we enter a new year, we will be a new company – net debt free and focused with what we believe is the world’s most accurate and scalable finger biometric technology. As the biometric market finally begins to emerge, we believe our long and sustained investment in technology, our premier biometric customers and our licensing and reseller business model provide us with the opportunity to be a high-margin growth business".
