Strong positioning for Match-on-Card

‐ Interview with the President & CEO, Thomas Marschall

What can you say about your development during this quarter?

First of all it is very positive that Precise Biometrics' Match‐on‐Card technology has been chosen for Nigeria's National ID card (NID). It is yet another confirmation of our strong technology and emphasises our market‐leading position. The project initially concerns licenses for ID cards and bank cards for 50‐60 million inhabitants, and it is the largest NID project Precise Biometrics has been involved in.

We have also seen further strong positioning of Match‐on‐Card on other markets as well. During this period we have made strategically important partner agreements with Giesecke & Devrient (G&D) and NXP Semiconductors, who are leading suppliers of Smart cards and

Smart chips on the global market. We expect these partnerships to contribute towards us selling more Match‐on‐Card‐licenses in 2012 than in any other year before this.

Do you think 2011 could be the most successful year Precise Biometrics has ever had in terms of market development and market positioning?

As stated before I do believe 2011 could be the most successful year we have ever had, a year where we prepare the growth platform required to realize Plan 2015. I'm mainly thinking of our top results in the US government agency test, MINEX II, which have further encouraged interest in our proven technology both in the US and the global market. But I'm also very pleased to see the rapid progress within our technology development to enable us to meet the new customer and market demands especially focusing our unique smart card and biometric solutions for the mobile market and in particular the Apple platform. The presentation of new products is planned to take place at the end of the year. The reinforcement of our organization for sales and marketing is also well in progress to support the market strategy. To put it simply, we are overall developing in line with our Plan 2015.

Could you comment on how the business areas IAM, Access Solutions and Mobile have developed?

The development of our business area IAM is currently negatively impacted by the delay in approval of the US government budget. In regards to Access Solutions there are a few gym related projects that have not been realized this year. As such the business areas Access Solutions and IAM are not in line with our expectations for the year.

Product developments in Mobile, which is one our major investment areas, are running on schedule. This means that we are expecting to have several new products out towards the end of the year so that we can actively participate in the rapid developments in the markets for Smart Phones and Tablet PCs. While these investments are weighing on our profits in the short term, they are important prerequisites if we are to achieve our targets for growth and profitability in Plan 2015.

Page 3 of 15 Lund, October 25, 2011

What is happening now within the framework of Plan 2015?

In 2011 we established the new business area Mobile for the objective of creating a new and major field of user applications and products for our combined solutions of biometrics and smart cards. Product developments are in line with this plan. We have also encountered considerable interest in our solutions in the market and we are now holding discussions with different partners on cooperation.

We have also continued to develop our organization and the establishment of new functions in the US. We have recruited staff on site in the US, who can work with our important partners and reinforce our marketing and market communication. The US remains our most important market and it also has significant potential for our new products focusing on the mobile market.

Sales and result

Interim period; January to September 2011

Sales for the interim period amounted to SEK 16.8 million (38.6). The gross profit was SEK 8.8 million (23.3). The gross margin amounted to 53 % compared to 60% the same period the previous year. The margin is lower due to higher proportion of hardware sales. Operating expenses for the interim period amounted to SEK 33.0 million (33.4). The group's net loss for the interim period amounted to SEK ‐24.0 million (‐10.2). Compared to previous year the income for the interim period is lower primarily due to lower sales level impacted by the delayed US government budget process. The result was positively affected by the effects of bankruptcy of the former subsidiary Loqware. Losses per share (average number of shares) for the interim period amounted to SEK ‐0.15 (‐0.08).

Third quarter; July to September 2011

Sales for the third quarter were SEK 7.4 million (12.2). The gross profit was SEK 2.6 million (6.9).The gross margin decreased to 36% compared to 56% the same period the previous year. The margin is lower due to higher proportion of hardware sales. Operating costs were SEK 8.1 million (12.0).The Group's net loss for the third quarter amounted to SEK ‐5.4 million (‐5.2). The result was positively affected by the effects of bankruptcy of the former subsidiary Loqware. Losses per share (average number of shares) for the third quarter amounted to SEK ‐0.03 (‐0.04).

Financing and liquidity

Equity amounted as of September 30, 2011 to SEK 56.2 million (35.3) and equity/share to SEK 0.30 (0.26).

Market and sales – Q3

Precise Biometrics' turnover in the third quarter mainly consisted of sales of fingerprint readers to customers in the Middle East and Asia in the IAM segment. Sales to government agencies in the US continued to be hampered as a result of delays in the US government budget process.

Sales of licenses for national ID card projects also contributed to the sales for this quarter.

In Access Solutions the main part of sales consisted of follow‐up orders from the largest customer in this business area – Scandinavia's largest budget gym chain.

Several important agreements dominated the quarter. The company was selected as the provider for national ID cards in Nigeria. Precise Biometrics' Nigerian partner Interswitch negotiated this transaction, which represents an order of 50‐60 million cards for the company. The roll‐out period will take up to six years and the card will be used both as an ID card and a bank card.

A partnership agreement has also been signed with Giesecke & Devrient (G&D), one of the largest global suppliers of smart card solutions, which entitles G&D to use Precise Match‐ on‐Card™ on its smart cards.

Page 5 of 15 Lund, October 25, 2011

Another strategically important agreement was signed with NXP Semiconductors, who are a leading supplier of smart chips on the global market. Cooperation with NXP means that they can now use Precise Match‐on‐Card™ on the chips used on smart identification cards.

Precise Biometrics assess that these agreements will form the basis for extensive sales of Match‐on‐Card licenses in 2012 and the years ahead.

The company continues to make important investments in the business area Mobile, focusing on the smart phone market, and in particular the Apple platform. The presentation of new products is planned to take place at the end of the year.

The agreements signed during the quarter, alongside investments in the Mobile segment, are critical parts of Plan 2015, the strategic platform the company has established for its development up to 2015.

Review Report

Introduction

We have reviewed this report for the period January 1, 2011 to September 30, 2011 for Precise Biometrics AB (publ). The board of directors and the CEO are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our review.

Emphasis and extent of the review

We conducted our review in accordance with the Swedish Standard on Review Engagements SÖG 2410, Review of Interim Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing, ISA, and other generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden. The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim report is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, regarding the Group, and with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, regarding the Parent Company.
