Biometric Security Corp BMS Shares issued 20,834,412 1999-05-03 close $0.36 Tuesday May 4 1999 The Vancouver Sun reports in a lengthy feature business story in its Tuesday edition that a piece of United States military technology in the emerging field of biometrics has surfaced on the Vancouver Stock Exchange. Reporter William Boei says that if it works out the way that Biometric Security hopes, a lot of people who never run afoul of the law could end up being fingerprinted. All you will have to do is work for a company with high-security areas, or on a computer network, or punch a time clock at work, or use a bank machine, or own a car or telephone. Biometric Security president Patrick McCleery says the U.S. Defence Department was intrigued enough a few years ago to ask Arete Associates, a privately-owned, California-based technology think-tank, to look at adapting a fingerprint scanner for battlefield weapons. He says the defence department eventually decided to hold fire on the technology, but gave Arete permission to spin it off into a new subsidiary, Biometric Identification.

Favourable writeup by Neil Maedel Neil Maedel expects that when all the dust settles that BMS should be trading at about 8-10 times estimated 1999 sales. Right now it is trading at 2 times estimated sales. The company will be attending the CardTech/SecurTech trade show May 10-14. This is the most important trade show for the company in North America. Look for new products to be unveiled and look for BMS to get a lot more exposure.

Excellent analysis from a post at Stockhouse. Although I am not into technical analysis I have followed the markets for years and it is my feeling that BMS is on the verge of moving on up. Looked at BMS -- has already moved up from the 20 cent level, so more risk - but, not looking too bad. Was sending lots of bullish signs two weeks ago, but fairly quiet this week. This is a pattern that is very tricky - at least I have found it so. The stock runs up - 20 to 38, then corrects to 29, then runs again to 38 and then bounces back to 34. So, it is evident that there is resistance at 38, but bullish in that each correction has come a little higher then the previous support - a good sign for the bulls. Not clear cut, but I think the stock is in a ascending triangle formation, and is approaching the breakout point -- should swing up from 34 and break through 38 and on to new highs - look for 55-60 if it breaks through the 38 level. The trading on Friday, was a doji candle, which are very dependable reversal signs. The previous day was a doji candle as well, so we have a double reversal sign from the candles - I think the stock is turning in this range 34-35 and will now run - I would rate it a buy at the present level of 34-35, looking for 50-60 - but, be prepared to bail if it does not turn out - unlikely in my opinion, but a sell sign would be a break downward through 30. Not a bad bet Antares - drop a note anytime for an update. Good luck. Sadie

BIOMETRIC SECURITY CORP. ("BMS-V;BMSX-L") - Biometric Identification, Inc. Announces Breakthrough in Biometrics - 'Image Sensor Interoperability (ISI(tm))' Patrick W. McCleery, President of Biometric Security Corp. is pleased to report that Biometric Identification, Inc. (Biometric ID), a leading provider of fingerprint identification systems, has solidified its position as the top developer of real-world biometric solutions by announcing that its extensive product line will now provide true Image Sensor Interoperability (ISI(tm)). ISI(tm) makes reliable biometric security possible with just the touch of a finger on any available sensor device-silicon or optical-that has received approval from Biometric ID. "The preliminary response to this technology has been overwhelmingly positive," said Biometric ID's President and CEO Bob Kamm. "Our OEM (original equipment manufacturer) clients are extremely enthusiastic about the flexibility and convenience ISI(tm) brings to their integrated biometric solutions. Without question they find it very reassuring not to be bound to any one sensor manufacturer or type of imaging hardware." Biometric ID's patented fingerprint verification algorithm, Ridge Recognition(, is a key component of ISI( capability. Ridge Recognition(tm) leverages 20 years of experience designing high-tech systems for the US Department of Defense. It provides a revolutionary, "data rich" approach to comparing the entire ridge pattern of the fingerprint. This unique method allows the system to adjust for real-world conditions such as the effects of swollen, aged, dirty, scarred or cut fingers, the main pitfalls of other technologies. Robust and reliable, ISI(tm) is dependent in part on the system's ability to cope with varying sensor sizes and imaging techniques. The data rich nature of Ridge Recognition(tm) allows the system to maintain its accuracy, even as the size of the image captured by the silicon devices continues to become increasingly smaller in response to user demands for more compact and affordable image capture solutions. This is unlike traditional minutia systems that were designed to work with large optical sensors; smaller sensors provide substantially fewer minutia and correspondingly reduced accuracy. Biometric ID's ISI(tm) is available throughout its product line, in solutions ranging from stand-alone biometric verification devices to PCs and peripheral devices that rely on the host computer to perform the biometric verification. Before approving a sensor for integration into its product line, Biometric ID subjects the sensor to an extensive independent test that consists of over 30 criteria including ESD, image capture quality, durability, hardness, packaging and power. The company currently supports silicon-based devices from Infineon-Siemens, AuthenTec, ST MicroElectronics, Thomson CSF and Veridicom, as well as numerous optical devices. Biometric ID systems are installed at national banks, two large legislative branches, Fortune 500 organizations and government institutions. The company has customized its OEM hardware and software solutions to the unique characteristics of the major sensor vendors. Biometrics is the automated identification of an individual based on their unique physiological features. In a large percentage of the world marketplace, biometrics is manifesting itself in fingerprint verification and authorization technologies for office and home security, building access control, time and attendance systems, smart card and point of sale terminals, electronic commerce systems, computer networks and mobile communication devices.
