TACTIVO™ FOR ANDROID IS LAUNCHED AND RIGHTS ISSUE WAS OVERSUBSCRIBED

INTERVIEW WITH THOMAS MARSCHALL, CEO AND PRESIDENT, PRECISE BIOMETRICS

How would you summarize the second quarter?

We began the year with one of the best quarters ever. Even if the second quarter did not quite reach the same levels of turnover and profit, we have a very positive outlook on the opportunities for growth in the time ahead. There is a lot of potential in the mobile market for our Tactivo product series and primarily in the large US government agency market. Our market position has been furthered strengthened after Tactivo, as the first and only mobile smart card reader, was FIPS 201-

certified (Federal Information Processing Standards) for the US Government Service Administration Approved Products List.

We signed a frame agreement spanning several years for further deliveries of Tactivos to Volkswagen, one of the world's largest car manufacturers. The agreement enables a long term delivery of Tactivo to their business.

Within our business unit IAM we received follow-up orders for fingerprint readers, totalling SEK 9.9 million, from an existing customer in the Middle East. The majority of the orders SEK 6.5 million, were delivered and invoiced during the second quarter.

What is happening in the market?

The market for enhanced mobile security continues to grow and we are seeing widespread use of fingerprint technology to access sensitive information via smartphones and tablets. There are clear signals that new requirements for personal identity checks for the remote connection of mobile units among government employees and suppliers to government agencies can be introduced in the US, and maybe as soon as during the second half of 2013. So far Tactivo is the only mobile smart card reader certified for use by US government agencies.

Tactivo for Android was launched towards the end of the quarter. This means that we have further strengthened our product offering and has now solutions for more than 90 per cent of all the smartphones and tablets in our segment of choice.

The federal ID card project in Nigeria has unfortunately been delayed. The local authorities have not followed through with the timetable they previously set, which means that the project has not generated any earnings yet. We have therefore reduced our expectations we had of the project, even if we hope that it will soon get going.

What could you tell us about the new issue of shares implemented in the spring?

The new issue of shares which was subscribed up to 169% injected SEK 48.7 million, after issue costs, to the company. The reason for the share issue was to maintain a high development and marketing tempo, and to reinforce our working capital so that we can implement our ambitious plan for growth in the years to come. The company now has good financial platform from which we can continue to expand.

How do you see the rest of 2013 developing?

We continue to have high expectations for our further expansion and the development in the market contributes to that we remain positive about our opportunities. Precise Biometrics has a very exciting product program that continues to grow, and which is very well adapted to a large and well-defined market. The prospects in the market are good, not least in the US, where there are very good opportunities in the government agency market.

We expect that sales of Tactivo will expand, and primarily in the US government market. We also see an expanding market for our algorithms and the ID card segment within the framework of the business area IAM. Our assessment remains that both of our two business areas, IAM and Mobile, have strong market potential for future growth.

SALES AND RESULT

Interim period January to June 2013

Sales for the interim period were SEK 26.0 million (11.4). The improvement in sales is impacted by the order from the US based provider of financial information services in Q1, the order from one of the largest mobile operators in US also in Q1 as well as the hardware follow-up orders from the government customer in the Middle East. The gross margin amounted to 66% (61%).

Operating costs amounted to SEK 29.5 million (28.4).

The Group's net loss for the period is SEK -13.9 million (-22.8). The change is due to higher sales compared to last year

Earnings per share (average number of shares) for the interim period was SEK -0.05 (-0.12).

Second Quarter April to June 2013

Sales for the second quarter amounted to SEK 9.2 million (6.7). The improvement in sales is mainly impacted by the hardware follow-up orders from the government customer in the Middle East. The gross margin was 43% (52%). The lower margin is due to higher proportion of hardware sales.

Operating costs for the second quarter were SEK 15.3 million (15.1). The group's net loss amounted to SEK -12.6 Million (-13.0).

Losses per share (average number of shares) for the second quarter amounted to SEK -0.04 (-0.07).

FINANCING AND LIQUIDITY

As of June 30, 2013 equity amounted to SEK 82.9 million (24.1) and equity/share to SEK 0.26 (0.13)

Cash flow from current operations amounted to SEK -4.3 million (-11.7). Available cash as of June 30, 2013 amounted to SEK 47.3 million (3.4). The company has been provided with SEK 48.7 million after expenses through a share issue with preferential rights for existing shareholders.

MARKET AND SALES – Q2 2013

The majority of Precise Biometrics' sales in the second quarter of 2013 has consisted of both license and hardware sales within the business area IAM. The hardware sales have primarily been to a government customer in Middle East. License sales have in large consisted of ongoing sales to one of Scandinavia's largest gym chains as well as license sales to ongoing national id card projects.

In the business area Mobile sales in the second quarter have been more limited. Most of the company Tactivo sales are expected to go to the US market and especially to government customers.

During the second quarter Tactivo, as the first and only smart card reader for mobile devices, has become FIPS 201 certified for US Government Service Administration (GSA) Approved Products List. Certification and approval of the GSA allows US authorities to follow the mandate that requires all government employees to use their PIV cards for access to government information.

With the clear market potential in the US market Precise Biometrics has continued to focus on the US sales organization. Jeff Scott, with a background in government sales in the US, has been appointed Head of Sales North America. More sales resources are anticipated to be employed in

the US during the second half of the year as part of the company's efforts to further support and strengthen the North American sales organization

Outside the US market, Precise Biometrics has signed a framework agreement for continued deliveries of Tactivo to Volkswagen. The company has worked closely with Volkswagen to ensure that Tactivo fulfill their enhanced security needs.

In the second quarter the company launched Tactivo for iPad 4 and Tactivo mini for Android. With the launch of Tactivo mini Precise Biometrics broaden their range and now offer Tactivo for other products than the iOS-based. Thus, Precise Biometrics will be able to cover most smartphones and tablets that are used by customers in both the private and public sectors.

PARENT COMPANY

Parent company sales for the year amounted to SEK 18.7 million (9.5). Operating loss before tax for the interim period amounted to SEK -13.3 million (-23.6).

Available cash at the end of the quarter amounted to SEK 46.5 million (2.9). The company has been provided by SEK 48.7 million after expenses through a share issue with preferential rights for existing shareholders.

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING 2013

Precise Biometrics' Annual General Meeting was held on April 23 2013 at the company's headquarters in Lund.

Torbjörn Clementz, Eva Maria Matell and Lisa Thorsted and Lena Widin Klasén were re-elected as members of the board, whilst Lena Widin Klasén and Erwin Leichtle declined re-election. Anders Harrysson, Matts Lilja and Torgny Hellström were elected as new members of the board. Lisa Thorsted was elected as chairman of the board.

The Annual General Meeting resolved on a new share issue with preferential right for the company's shareholders.

In accordance with the proposal of the board, the Annual General Meeting resolved to adopt guidelines for management principally entailing that remuneration and terms of employment shall be competitive and in accordance with market conditions.

In accordance with the recommendations of the board of directors, the General Meeting resolved to authorize a new issue to a maximum of 26.5 million shares. Full exercise of the authorization, at full conversion, is equivalent to a dilution of approximately 10 % of the present share capital and votes. The purpose of the authorization and the reason for the deviation from the shareholders' preferential right is to enable the Company to effect payment of company acquisitions by the Company's own shares and/or convertibles and to obtain capital contributions from new owners that are considered strategically important in an operational, financial, structural or other perspective.

In accordance with the proposal of the board, the Annual General Meeting resolved that the company's share capital shall be reduced by SEK 31,742,780.16 to cover loss. The reduction shall be effected without retirement of shares and without repayment to the shareholders. After the reduction, the company's share capital will amount to SEK 74,066,487.04, allocated between a total number of 264,523,168 shares. The reduction entails a reduction of the quota value of the shares with SEK 0.12 from SEK 0.40 to SEK 0.28.

For more details regarding the above resolutions taken at the General Meeting see Precise Biometrics website under Annual General Meeting.
