FINANCIAL DATA AND KEY INDICATORS

As a consequence of the fact that the Mobile Smart Card Solutions business area was disposed of as of January 1, 2018, previously reported figures have been converted in order to improve comparability. The business area has been reported as a business held for sale starting in the interim report for the second quarter of 2017. In order to obtain comparable historical data, previously reported figures have only been adjusted for the expenses relating directly to the discontinued business area, which will no longer affect the company's remaining operation. The discontinued operation's impact on the financial position has not been reported separately, as the company does not consider it possible to report the discontinued operation's impact on cash flow. Cash flow is instead reported for the total operation.

Unless otherwise specified, reported figures in the interim report relate to the remaining operation.

PRESENTATION OF THE INTERIM REPORT

In connection with today's interim report, we issue an invitation to an information event today at 10:00 AM. Please see the last page of the interim report for further information about participation.

THE CHAIRMAN'S COMMENTS

The market for fingerprint technology in mobile phones continues to change at a rapid pace and we continue to follow our strategy focusing on four key areas. We are working with customers and solutions for optical and ultrasound sensors in the high-price segment and for capacitive sensors in the low-price segment, both of which have growth potential. The fact that our software is in the first phone with an under-glass ultrasound sensor is evidence of our successful work in the field of new

sensor technologies. In the field of biometric cards, we continue to strengthen our position through new partnership agreements, and we are involved in several exciting projects in new areas of application.

The design trend towards mobile phones with full-screen displays continues in the higher price segments and is driving developments towards optical and ultrasound sensors, in which the sensor is placed beneath the screen or the glass. Fingerprint sensors beneath the display or glass enhance the user experience and reduce the mechanical parts in mobile phones, and we are seeing a constant increase in the market's interest in these solutions.

	FOCUS AREAS
$\frac{1}{10}$	HIGH-END
$\bar{\mathbf{C}}$	LOW-END
	SMART CARDS
	NEW APPLICATIONS

At present we have ten customers in this area, which gives us good market coverage and improves our chances of winning additional orders. One clear indication of this is our announcement after the end of the quarter that our software has been integrated into an under-glass sensor in the Huawei Honor 10 in collaboration with Qualcomm.

We have extended collaboration with our customers who focus on capacitive sensors for the low-price segment and have a competitive product. Price pressure remains strong on capacitive sensors, yet at the same time it means that the market for mobile phones in the lower price segments has been opened up to capacitive sensors, as they are now at a price level that enables them to be used in the lower price segment too at high volumes.

The market for biometric cards continues to develop in the right direction. There are more and more actors working actively with biometric cards, which is a precondition for making an impact on a wider scale. Several pilot projects with biometric payment cards were launched during the first few months of the year, and our fingerprint software is being used in the first pilot project in the USA with Visa and Mountain America Credit Union. We have also deepened the collaboration with Kona-i, a leading supplier of payment card system solutions, who delivers the system solution to the pilot project in the USA.

Our vision of convenient and secure identity authentication for everyone, everywhere, is more relevant now than ever. Biometrics will replace passwords and other forms of authentication for cars, locks and wearables, areas in which we are involved in several projects and intend to drive and continue to be part of developments in the future.

The company is in a strong financial position and we are continuing initiatives in the focus areas we have identified in order to further strengthen the company's position. All in all, I have a continued positive view of the company's outlook.

MARKET AND SALES

Precise Biometrics develops and sells fingerprint software for the convenient, secure authentication of people's identity in mobile phones, smart cards and products with small fingerprint sensors. The company offers the following solutions:

Precise BioMatch™ Mobile, an algorithm solution for mobile phones and tablets.

Precise BioMatch™ Embedded, an algorithm solution for, e.g., smart cards, wearables, locks and cars.

Precise BioLive™, fingerprint software that protects fingerprint sensors against fake fingers.

Market developments

The market for fingerprint technology in mobile devices is expected to grow in 2018 despite smartphone sales in China declining with 27 % in the first quarter compared to the corresponding period previous year according to domestic sales figures, and 3 % globally according to IDC. Growth is being driven by the fact that more and more phones in the lower price segments are being fitted with a capacitive fingerprint sensor, which is currently the dominant sensor technology. Increased competition in the market for capacitive sensors is resulting in pressure on sensor prices, which is allowing the technology to move to low-price phones.

The technological shift in the sensor market from capacitive sensors to optical and ultrasound sensors has started. The trend is being driven by mobile phones with edge-to-edge displays, where the sensor is located beneath the screen or the glass. Optical and ultrasound sensors are the best kinds of sensor for such integrations. These kinds of solutions provide a better user experience and simplify the mobile phone production process. During the first few months of the year, a number of mobile phones featuring these technologies have been launched, and the market is showing an increasing interest. In a recently published report, the research firm IHS Markit believes that more than 200 million under-display sensors will be sold in 2020.

Several pilot projects with biometric payment cards have been launched during the year by banks in Europe, Japan, Middle East and USA. Combined with the fact that more actors are displaying a genuine interest in this area, this is further strengthening the momentum in the market. Overall, statistics from several industry actors reveal that the number of cards and contactless payments is continuing to increase. This underpins the potential for contactless payment cards, which increase user-friendliness for consumers and can reduce cases of fraud by means of improved security.

The EU Commission has presented a proposal in which the security of existing ID cards is to be improved by including information about fingerprints and facial recognition. Similar discussions are being conducted in government agencies in other countries, which may in due course create new areas of application and increase demand for biometric cards for convenient and secure identification.

The increasing use of biometrics is creating greater demand to include fingerprint technology in more areas of application. Wearables, such as watches and rings, are one area where there is a high level of interest in biometric solutions, which can increase convenience and security when authenticating identity.

NET SALES AND OPERATING PROFIT/LOSS IN THE FIRST QUARTER

Net sales in the first quarter increased by 9.2% compared with the previous year and totaled SEK 18.2 (16.6) million. Revenues from licenses and services rose, while royalty revenues were slightly lower.

The gross margin for the quarter totaled 92.1% (94.3%). The gross margin was charged with the amortization of capitalized development expenses of SEK 0.7 (0.7) million, as well as the amortization of acquired intangible assets of SEK 0.2 (0.1) million.

Operating expenses for the quarter increased to SEK 18.8 (18.3) million. The increase is attributed to severance pay and the severance payment to the former CEO, being recorded as expenses in the amount of SEK 1.4 million during the quarter.

The operating profit/loss for the quarter improved somewhat and totaled SEK -2.0 (-2.7) million as a consequence of higher sales counteracted by increased operating expenses. Earnings for the period totaled SEK -2.4 (-3.4) million. The operating profit/loss at EBITDA level totaled SEK -1.0 (-1.7) million. Earnings per share (average number of shares) for the first quarter totaled SEK -0.01 (-0.01).

REPORTING DATES

Q2 2018 Interim Report	August 15, 2018
Q3 2018 Interim Report	November 13, 2018
Year-end Report 2018	February 13, 2019

RISK FACTORS

The Group's and the parent company's business risks and risk management as well as the management of financial risks are described in detail in the Annual Report for 2017.

NexID Biometrics Inc. was acquired during 2017. Risk associated with the acquisition is primarily if sales and earnings in the future do not develop as planned, in which case there may be a need to write down intangible assets. The risk associated with the sale of the Mobile Smart Card Solutions business area is if expected commission revenues are not received. Otherwise there have been no events of significant importance during the year that would affect or change these descriptions of the Group's or the parent company's risks and how they are managed.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

This interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Reporting. During the first quarter of 2018, IFRS 9 and IFRS 15 were implemented, which had no effect on earnings. Otherwise the recognition and measurement policies as well as the bases of estimates applied in the Annual Report for 2017 have been used in this interim report as well.

The parent company's financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and the Swedish Annual Reporting Board's recommendation RFR2 Accounting for Legal Entities.

The disposal of the Mobile Smart Card Solutions business area was completed as planned as of January 1, 2018. Information about the sale was issued in June 2017 and in accordance with IFRS 5 the business area was reported as a business held for sale for the rest of 2017. In order to obtain comparable historical data, previously reported figures were adjusted in respect of expenses relating directly to the discontinued business area and will therefore no longer affect the company's remaining operation. In accordance with IFRS 8, the discontinued operation is not reported in segment reporting, and as the remaining operation consists exclusively of the Fingerprint Technology business area, there is therefore no longer any segment reporting.

New or amended accounting standards implemented in 2018

IFRS 15

IFRS 15 replaces all previously issued standards and interpretations dealing with revenues with one combined model for revenue recognition. IFRS 15 came into force on January 1, 2018. The standard is based on the principle that revenue shall be reported when a promised product or service has been transferred to the customer, i.e., when the customer has acquired control of it, which can take place over time or at one point in time. Revenue shall consist of the amount that the company expects to receive in compensation in exchange for the goods or services supplied.

Work by the Group to evaluate IFRS 15 Revenue from contracts with customers started in 2016 and was completed during 2017. The analysis was performed on the basis of the standard's five-step model and assessed revenue streams based on identified and currently valid agreements with customers.

Revenues in the Fingerprint Technology business area consist of the sale of a software solution for fingerprint identification. Agreements give the customer a license for the software, which is developed and updated on an ongoing basis. The Group has made the assessment that there is a performance commitment to the customer. It has been concluded that the license should be classified as a right to access in accordance with the guidance in IFRS 15 for licenses. Part of the revenue streams for the software solution consists of usage-based royalties (the royalty is based on the number of end products in which the Group's customers use the license). As a consequence of the license having been assessed to be a right to access, revenue from this is reported over time in accordance with IFRS 15, which is in accordance with how the Group previously reported revenues. Usage-based royalties are reported after the customer has used the license in the end product. This accounting practice also corresponds with previous accounting policies.

The Group has chosen to apply the policy with full retroactivity in connection with the transition to the new accounting standard. As explained above, the transition to IFRS 15 does not entail any retrospective adjustment of previously reported figures. The extended disclosure requirements in IFRS 15 will affect the Group's financial reporting, and for this reason more detailed information will be issued.

When calculating future commission revenues attributable to the disposal of the Mobile Smart Card Solutions business area, revenues are only included to the extent that the Group avoids a significant reversal of revenues when the uncertainty associated with the variable remuneration ceases. Commission revenues are completely variable and the underlying agreement therefore contains no significant financing component, and for this reason the expected commission revenue received is reported in the Group on the line "Profit/loss from discontinued operation" and in the parent company under "Other revenues/expenses".

IFRS 9

IFRS 9 describes the recognition of financial assets and liabilities and replaces IAS 39 Financial instruments: Recognition and Measurement. The Group evaluated the effects of IFRS 9 in 2017.

The Group has introduced a model for providing for future bad debts based on historical performance combined with predictive analysis. The introduction of the model has not had any impact on the Group's profit.

Accounting standards applicable after 2018

IFRS 16

IFRS 16 replaces IAS 17 as of January 1, 2019. According to the new standard, most leased assets shall be reported in the balance sheet and lessees shall divide the expense into interest payments and depreciation of the asset. An analysis was launched in 2017 to investigate how the impact of IFRS 16 Leases will affect the company's financial reporting. This analysis will be completed during 2018.

For more information about the accounting policies applied, please refer to the Annual Report for 2017.

Note 2. Discontinued operation

On June 21, 2017 Precise Biometrics announced that the company had concluded an agreement with IDENTOS GmbH on the takeover of the Mobile Smart Card Solutions business area, which includes the business operation involving smart card readers under the Tactivo brand. The transaction was completed as planned on January 1, 2018 and Identos took over the development of new smart card readers under the Tactivo brand, patents, trade mark rights, manufacturing, sales and customer support.

As of June 30, 2017 assets belonging to Mobile Smart Card Solutions have been reclassified and recorded as assets held for sale and profit/loss from a discontinued operation.

Precise Biometrics will receive commission from Identos GmbH for the years 2018-2020. Future commission revenues will be calculated quarterly on the basis of data received from Identos GmbH, and the trend in commission revenues is therefore an item that must be valued by management and can vary over time.

Note 3. Business combinations

Below is a description of the business combination completed by the Group in 2017.

NexID Biometrics Inc.

On February 9, 2017 Precise Biometrics AB acquired the assets and liabilities of NexID Biometrics Inc. With this acquisition, Precise Biometrics extended its software offering to include liveness detection, which further improves the security of fingerprint recognition. The acquisition reinforces the company's position as the leader in the field of fingerprint software and creates further opportunities for growth in the rapidly expanding market for fingerprint technology.

The purchase price totaled SEK 31,360 thousand and was paid in cash. The goodwill that arose in connection with the acquisition relates to the company's strong position in the field of liveness detection.

Acquisition costs totaling SEK 1,071 thousand have been capitalized in the parent company, and goodwill in the parent company therefore increased to SEK 24,496 thousand. Goodwill in the parent company is written off over ten years in accordance with its expected useful life.

Note 5. Option program

The 2017 shareholders' general meeting made a decision to offer an incentive plan for the company's employees to the effect that a maximum of five million (5,000,000) stock options can be issued, with each stock option providing entitlement to subscribe to one (1) share in the company. Subscription to the stock options was to take place no later than December 31, 2017, with the Board having the right to extend the subscription period. Subscription through the exercising of stock options may take place during the period June 1, 2020 until June 30, 2020. The subscription price for the options has been set at SEK 0.06 and the subscription price for the shares at SEK 5.40. At the end of the interim period, 2,230,000 options have been subscribed, corresponding to 45% of total stock options; this was after the options subscribed by the former CEO had been bought back. Assuming that all stock options are exercised to subscribe to new shares, the number of shares in the company will increase by 5,000,000 shares.

Dilution effects are only considered in the event that the earnings per share become worse. The dilution effects have not been considered, as the average price during the first quarter is below the price in the current option program.

Note 6. Closely-related party transactions

The Chairman of the Board has a consultancy assignment as acting Chairman of the Board in the company until the new CEO takes up his post, which is to take place on August 1, 2018 at the latest. The compensation level for the assignment is based on market conditions and the company´s cost totaled SEK 874 thousand during the first quarter. Another Board member had a consultancy assignment, which started and ended during the first quarter of 2018. The compensation level for the assignment was based on market conditions and totaled SEK 42 thousands.
