Fingerprint Cards increased its sales by 67% and gross margin by 51%. In terms of sales, the second quarter represented a break in the upward trend, resulting primarily from the postponement of an order, the progress of which remains uncertain. Previously initiated improvement projects – involving aggressive market programs and new recruitment – continued throughout the quarter, leading to the establishment of an Asian office in Shanghai and a new distribution agreement.

Fingerprint Cards (FPC) opens Asian office in Shanghai and appoints Steven Tynan as Regional Director APAC (Asia-Pacific)

FPC is to open a regional office for Asia in Shanghai, China, and has appointed Steven Tynan, 47, as Regional Director APAC, effective today. Asia, and particularly China, is currently FPC’s principal market and, consequently, FPC has chosen to open a regional office in Shanghai, the city in which a majority of western technology companies have elected to locate their China and regional offices. “China accounts for the largest portion of FPC’s sales and we expect continued strong growth in the country and the region in 2010 and 2011. To facilitate this development, we are now opening an office in the region”, says FPC’s President Johan Carlström.

Steven Tynan, who has ten years of experience in sales and business development from TDC, will be joining us from Precise Biometrics, where he was Regional Manager for Asia and stationed in Hong Kong since 2007.

“We’re delighted to have succeeded in recruiting Steven Tynan to FPC and I am convinced that Steven is the right person to further develop the market successes we have experienced in Asia and China, in particular, in recent years,” comments President Johan Carlström.

Delay and uncertainty concerning a bank project in China results in reduced forecast for the second quarter and full-year 2010

 Fingerprint Card AB (publ) (FPC) forecast in its interim report for January-March 2010 that sales would increase during the second quarter compared with the first quarter of 2010. FPC also forecast a sales increase of 75-100% for full-year 2010. A project that is of importance to FPC has now been delayed and uncertainty concerning implementation of the project has increased. This means that FPC will probably not achieve its forecast targets for the second quarter or for 2010 as a whole.

The new forecast for the second quarter is that sales will probably increase 30-40% compared with the second quarter of 2009. For full-year 2010, it is forecast that sales will increase 40-60% compared with 2009. The previously issued forecast that the gross margin for 2010 will be higher than in 2009 stands firm.

In connection with a review of FPC’s principal market, China, which was implemented jointly by FPC and its distributor, HST, it became apparent that one of the major banks in China had postponed a project and that uncertainty concerning the implementation of the project had increased.

“The forecasts issued by Fingerprint Cards are a balanced summary of all of our customers’ forecasts and of orders placed. If these forecasts are changed significantly, we inform the market and issue updated information as soon as we see a change. Since we have now received new information concerning uncertainty and delays in respect of a major project, we must unfortunately correct our previously issued forecast. It is important to point out that it is an individual order that has led to our adjusting the forecast. We still foresee a favorable market trend in China, as well as other Asian markets, and that FPC will continue to develop well during the remainder of 2010,” comments President and CEO Johan Carlström.

Fingerprint Cards’ (FPC) distributor in South Korea, Camos Tech Co., Ltd. (CamosTech) has placed an order in excess of 3.5 MSEK. The fingerprint technology is to be delivered to several different customers and is going to be used in an government identification system for disabled persons as well as for log-in devices and modules. The order concerns the Company´s fingerprint sensor FPC1011F and deliveries have already started and are planned to be fulfilled before the end of the third quarter, 2010.

Part of the order is a follow up order to the previous test order for identification units used by Korean disabled persons to grant them access to discounted or free services within the country. The FPC products will also be used in log-in devices and in specialized biometric modules. The ordered products are going to be distributed by CamosTech to several different companies in Korea.

Lars Lundgren Jr, VP Marketing & Sales of FPC, comments: “It is very satisfying to see that several different companies in Korea have started to order larger volumes of our technology. At the same time it creates a strong belief in the future of the Korean market when we now receive a subsequent order to the pilot order for disabled persons we received during the first quarter of 2010.”

In preparation for the continued development and expansion of the operations of Fingerprint Cards (FPC), SEB has been selected as FPC’s new commercial bank. The selection of SEB provides new financing of business operations and enables an overhaul of the management of financial flows and services.

SEB will contribute initiative, expertise and a global presence in respect of the financial areas in which FPC will have requirements in its continued development. The new agreement includes improved financing of working capital through a credit facility of SEK 15 M.

Johan Carlström, President and Chief Executive Officer of FPC, comments:
“It feels reassuring having the right partners to provide support during FPC’s current development and the growth for which we are planning. Accordingly, following a thorough analysis, FPC has selected SEB as the bank partner that best matches our needs, both in Sweden and globally, particularly in Asia.

Fingerprint Cards receives pilot order from South Korea

Fingerprint Cards’ distributor in South Korea, Camos Tech Co., Ltd. (CamosTech) has placed an order worth in excess of SEK 1.3 million for an identification solution with integrated fingerprint technology for disabled persons. The order concerns the Company’s fingerprint sensor FPC1011F, with delivery scheduled for March, 2010.

The order is for a pilot series of identification units to be used by Korean disabled persons to gain access to discounted or free services within the country. The purpose of the system is to obtain a strong connection between the individual and the discounted service, thus preventing fraud. The new system will replace the older one featuring only a card.

Lars Lundgren Jr, VP Marketing & Sales at Fingerprint Cards, comments: “We, together with our distributor CamosTech, are delighted to be selected as the first biometric supplier of this prestigious project to the Korean government. CamosTech’s strong belief in and commitment to the Fingerprint Card technology used in this project combined with more than one year of dedicated work have finally started to yield results.”

Announcement from the Extraordinary General Meeting in Fingerprint Cards AB held on March 3, 2010

The Extraordinary General Meeting in Fingerprint Cards AB (publ) (the “Company”) has approved the Board of Directors’ resolution on a directed issue of share warrants and adopted the Board of Directors’ proposed resolution on approval of transfer of share warrants, etc.

A. Issue of share warrants

The Extraordinary General Meeting in the Company has approved the Board of Directors’ resolution that the Company issue a maximum of 3,925,000 share warrants.

The right to subscribe for share warrants shall, with deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights, be allotted to Fingerprint Security System Databärare AB, (the “Subsidiary”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Subscription must be completed not later than February 19, 2010. The share warrants will be issued without charge. The Subsidiary shall transfer the share warrants according to the terms stated under “Transfer of share warrants” below. The Subsidiary has subscribed for 3,925,000 share warrants.

Each share warrant provides entitlement to subscribe for one new Class B share in the Company. Subscription for shares in accordance with the terms and conditions for share warrants may occur in the period commencing June 1, 2012 through August 31, 2012. The subscription price shall total an amount corresponding to 200 percent of the recorded volume-weighted average purchase price for Class B shares in the Company on NASDAQ OMX Stockholm during the period commencing February 16, 2010 through February 26, 2010. The subscription price has been fixed to SEK 7.48. The increase in the Company’s share capital on full exercise of the share warrants will amount to not more than SEK 785,000, which corresponds to dilution of approximately 9.0 percent of the total number of shares in the Company and approximately 7.2 percent of the total number of votes in the Company.

The reasons for deviation from the shareholders’ preferential right is that the employees, by investing themselves, shall partake of and work for a positive value trend for the Company’s shares during the entire period comprised by the proposed program.


B. Transfer of share warrants

The Extraordinary General Meeting has approved of the Board of Directors’ proposed resolution on the Subsidiary’s transfer of share warrants on the following terms and conditions.

The right to acquire share warrants from the Subsidiary will be allotted to all employees of the Fingerprint Cards Group in Sweden, who have not resigned or been notified of termination of employment at the end of the registration period. Allotment is conditional upon it being possible to legally implement the acquisition of share warrants and that the General Meeting has approved the resolution by the Board of Directors according to the above, and that this can be done using reasonable administrative and financial resources according to the Board’s assessment. Registration for the acquisition of share warrants shall occur in the period commencing February 16, 2010 until March 1, 2010 and in lots corresponding to either the highest number of share warrants offered or reduced by lots of 1,000 share warrants. Allotment shall be made in full lots of share warrants and in the number for which the person entitled to make the acquisition has applied, unless the reduction is made because the number of registrations exceeds the number of share warrants issued. Allotment can be made to the following three categories: CEO, Other Executives and Other Employees. The highest number of share warrants per employee in each category is 2,181,000 share warrants for the CEO, 436,000 share warrants for Other Executives and 50,000 share warrants for Other Employees.

The share warrants shall be transferred on market terms at a price established on the basis of a calculated market value for the share warrants using the Black & Scholes valuation model as calculated by an independent valuation institute. The transfer price has been fixed to SEK 0.25. The share warrants not acquired by those entitled to make the acquisition shall be retained until further notice in the Subsidiary to enable them to be offered to future employees for acquisition on market terms and in compliance with the above stated guidelines, in accordance with instructions from the Board of the Company.

The participants in the incentive programme will acquire the share warrants at market value. The consequence is that the programme will not carry any personnel costs according to IFRS 2.

C. Assignment and authorization

The General Meeting assigned the Board of the Company to implement the resolution in accordance with Item A above and ensure that the Board of the Subsidiary implements the sale of the share warrants in accordance with Item B above.

The General Meeting authorized the Board to make such minor adjustments to the General Meeting’s resolution that may prove necessary in conjunction with registration with the Swedish Companies Registration Office and affiliation of the share warrants with Euroclear Sweden AB (formerly VPC AB).

D. Resolution in the Subsidiary

The General Meeting in the Subsidiary has approved of the resolution on transfer in accordance with Item B above.

Extraordinary General Meeting of Fingerprint Cards AB (publ) cancelled

The Extraordinary General Meeting that was scheduled to be held today and to which shareholders were invited to resolve on the Board’s motion concerning on the issue of warrants and approval of the transfer of share warrants, etc., has been cancelled.

The notification was issued in accordance with the Company’s registered Articles of Association, which state that “Notice shall be made through an announcement in Post- och Inrikes Tidningar and on the Company’s website. The fact that notice has been given shall be advertised in Dagens Industri.” The notification of today’s General Meeting was advertised in Dagens Industri on January 12, 2010, without the full notification being published.

The wording of the Articles of Association complies with a proposal for a change in notification regulations for limited liability companies to implement the European Parliament and Council’s Directive 2007/36/EG of July 11, 2007, regarding shareholders’ rights. The proposed change in the Companies Act in accordance with the proposal has not been implemented. Accordingly, the current wording of the Company’s Articles of Association was wrongfully registered with the Swedish Companies Registration Office. The Company has made the assessment that the earlier wording of the Articles of Association applies regarding the formulation of the notification. The full notification should therefore have been published in Dagens Industri. Since notification has not been issued in accordance with the Companies Act, today’s General Meeting has been cancelled.

The Board will issue a new notification of an Extraordinary General Meeting shortly.

The Extraordinary General Meeting was to have been held today, February 12, 2010 at 5:30 p.m. at the Radisson Blu Scandinavia Hotel, Södra Hamngatan 59-65, Gothenburg.

Item 2 – Election of Chairman for the Meeting

The Chairman of the Board, Tommy Trollborg, is proposed as Chairman for the Meeting.

Item 7 - The Board of Directors’ proposal for a resolution on the issue of warrants and approval of the transfer of share warrants, etc.

Shareholders jointly representing 34 percent of the number of votes and 16 percent of the capital in the Company have declared that they support the Board’s proposal for the issue of share warrants. The proposal essentially involves the following.

A. The Board proposes that the Company issue a maximum of 3,925,000 warrants. The right to subscribe for share warrants shall, with deviation from the shareholder’s preferential rights, be allotted to Fingerprint Security System Databärare AB, Corp. Reg. No. 556239-5938 (“the Subsidiary”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Subscription must be completed not later than February 19, 2010. The share warrants will be issued without charge. The subsidiary shall transfer the share warrants according to the terms stated in Item B below.

Each share warrant provides entitlement to subscribe for one new Class B share in the Company. Subscription for shares in accordance with the terms and conditions for share warrants may occur in the period commencing June 1, 2012 through August 31, 2012. The subscription price shall total an amount corresponding to 200 percent of the noted volume-weighted average purchase price for Class B shares in the Company on the NASDAQ OMX Stockholm during the period commencing February 15, 2010 through February 26, 2010. The increase in the Company’s share capital on full exercise of the share warrants will amount to not more than SEK 785,000, which corresponds to dilution of approximately 8.9 percent of the total number of shares in the Company and approximately 7.2 percent of the total number of votes in the Company.

The reason for deviation from the shareholders’ preferential right is that the employees, by investing themselves, shall partake of and work for a positive value trend for the Company’s share during the entire period comprised by the proposed program.

B. The Board proposes that the General Meeting approve the Subsidiary’s transfer of share warrants on the following terms and conditions.

The right to acquire share warrants from the subsidiary will be allotted to all employees of the Fingerprint Cards Group in Sweden, who have not resigned or been notified of termination of employment at the end of the registration period. Allotment is conditional upon it being possible to legally implement the acquisition of share warrants and that this can be done using reasonable administrative and financial resources according to the Board’s assessment. Registration for the acquisition of share warrants shall occur in the period commencing February 16, 2010 until March 1, 2010 and in lots corresponding to either the highest number of share warrants offered or reduced by lots of 1,000 share warrants. Allotment shall be made in full lots of share warrants and in the number for which the person entitled to make the acquisition has applied, unless the reduction is made because the number of registrations exceeds the number of share warrants issued. Allotment can be made to the following three categories: CEO, Other Executives and Other Employees. The highest number of share warrants per employee in each category is 2,181,000 share warrants for the CEO, 436,000 share warrants for Other Executives and 50,000 share warrants for Other Employees.

The share warrants shall be transferred on market terms at a price established on the basis of a calculated market value for the share warrants using the Black & Scholes valuation model as calculated by an independent valuation institute. The share warrants not acquired by those entitled to make the acquisition as described above shall be retained until further notice in the Subsidiary to enable them to be offered to future employees on market terms in accordance with instructions from the Board of the Company.

C. The Board proposes that the General Meeting assign the Board of the Company to implement the issue resolution in accordance with Item A above and ensure that the Board of the Subsidiary implements the sale of the share warrants in accordance with Item B above.

Shortage of components and production disruptions at suppliers, combined with impairment losses, adversely impacting earnings in 2009

In its interim report for January-September 2009, Fingerprint Cards AB announced that the company would achieve break-even figures during the autumn. However, due to a component shortage at the company’s supplier for the packaging of a key product and the breakdown of one of the same supplier’s specialized machines for the company’s products, Fingerprint Cards will probably not achieve break-even figures during the fourth quarter of 2009. The underlying causes of the component shortage and breakdown have now been resolved, and the company’s supplier is doing its utmost to recover the lost production volumes. Although the assessment is that break-even figures will not be achieved during the fourth quarter, the company currently estimates that its deliveries will increase substantially compared with the preceding quarter. Sales for the fourth quarter of 2009 will probably be 50-60% higher than in the year-earlier period and 30-40% higher compared with the third quarter of 2009. During the fourth quarter, the company will also post a nonrecurring impairment loss of SEK 1.8 M on inventories and a nonrecurring impairment loss of SEK 6 M on its capitalized development expenditures to better reflect the technical and commercial potential.

Shortage of components and production disruptions

The production problems experienced by the package assembly and test supplier for the company’s FPC1011F fingerprint sensor, were mainly caused by a shortage of the connector component used to link the sensor to other parts of the customer’s products. To avoid similar problems in the future, the company’s supplier has begun to increase its inventory of the components required for the assembly of Fingerprint Cards’ sensors. During the same period, our package assembly and test supplier also experienced a technical fault in the specially developed machine used to package the company’s sensors. Fingerprint Cards’ supplier has announced that this problem has now been resolved and that production has returned to normal.

“Demand for Fingerprint Cards’ products is growing, which is placing pressure on all of the suppliers in the production chain to increase their production volumes without lowering the company’s recognized standard of quality. The company has learned from these production problems and is currently updating its production flow and putting additional resources into place to secure the future delivery requirements imposed, for example, by its considerable order backlog,” says Johan Carlström, CEO of Fingerprint Cards.

Impairment losses

In its interim report for January-September 2009, Fingerprint Cards warned of a lower gross margin due to the phasing out of certain previously purchased materials. This temporary reduction in the company’s gross margin was previously only expected to affect earnings in the fourth quarter of 2009. However, the recent production disruptions will also have a certain adverse impact on the gross margin for the first quarter of 2010.

In consultation with the company’s auditors, the company’s CEO, Johan Carlström, initiated a stocktaking and a review of the valuation and depreciation methods for capitalized development expenditures. After the completion of this stocktaking, it became evident that there is currently no demand for some products in the company’s inventories and that they should, therefore, be written off. Accordingly, the Board of Directors has decided to post a nonrecurring impairment loss of SEK 1.8 M on inventories, which will be charged against earnings for the fourth quarter of 2009.

The company has also reviewed its valuation and depreciation policies for capitalized development expenditures. After consultation with the company’s auditors, the Board of Directors has decided to write down the value of capitalized development expenditures to better reflect their technical and commercial potential by posting a nonrecurring impairment loss of SEK 6 M, which will be charged against earnings for the fourth quarter of 2009.

“The new management has now completed a necessary review of our inventories and the development projects for which the company previously posted insufficient annual depreciation. We have now changed our depreciation policies for the expenditure we capitalize in order to better reflect the technical and commercial potential. Implementation of the impairment losses described above, a healthy order book and robust demand in China and other markets mean that the company is well-equipped for positive performance in 2010,” says Johan Carlström.

The Board´s proposals regarding matters on the agenda

9 b. Proposal for appropriation of loss
The Board of Directors proposes that no dividend be declared for the financial year


15. Proposal for amendment of the Articles of Association
The Board of Directors proposes that the AGM resolves to amend §4 of the Articles of Association, ”Share capital”, to read as follows: The minimum capital stock of the Company shall be SEK 3 000 000 and the maximum capital stock shall be SEK 12 000 000. The number of shares shall be minimum 15 000 000 and maximum 60 000 000.”

The Board of Directors proposes that the AGM resolves to amend §5 “Class of shares” of the Articles of Association, first paragraph to read as follows: “The Company´s shares may be issued in two different classes, series A carrying ten (10) votes per share and series B carrying one (1) vote per share.

that the new issue may be made with deviation from the shareholders´ pre-emption rights (prescription shall mainly be made available to institutional, industrial, and financial investors)
that shares shall be paid for in cash and at a fair market price that will be determined by the Board

Fingerprint Cards has developed electronic systems that determine personal identity by analysing the unique fingertip patterns of individuals. The systems comprise microchips with algorithms that scan, store and compare fingertip patterns without the help of any PC processor. Two types of capacitive sensors have been developed, an extremely small swipe sensor and a flatbed sensor. Processor ASICs and algorithms have been developed for each type of sensor. By virtue of its smallness, low power consumption and the possibility of very low production costs, the technology can be integrated in volume products such as smart cards and mobile (cell) phones, where the requirements for such features are extremely high. Other applications for the technology include access control systems for buildings and products for log on to computers and IT networks.

Fingerprint Cards has its head office in Gothenburg and is listed on the OMX Nordic Exchange (FING B).

Fingerprint Cards receives order from China worth MSEK 15

Fingerprint Cards´ reseller in China, Hardware & Software Technologies Co. Ltd (HST), has placed an order worth MSEK 15. The order concerns the Company´s fingerprint sensors featuring the newly developed packaging design. Deliveries are planned for the first quarter of 2009 but may be stretched out into the second quarter.

Demand for the Company´s sensor technology in China continues to be good and is expected to increase markedly for next year. This is especially so for the market segment featuring biometric IT security products for the financial sector, one where the Company has already achieved a strong position. In the same region other product segments such as physical access are also seeing a growing demand for biometric technology according to HST.

Lars Lundgren Jr., VP Marketing of Fingerprint Cards AB, comments: “After two solid years of increasing volumes of biometric security solutions delivered to the biggest banks in China, and using our sensor technology, we can now see an enlargement of this market. Moreover, the regional banks in that country have begun to implement biometric IT security solutions and our technology also has good opportunities to win a strong position here.”

Interruptions to Fingerprint Cards´ production rectified but the goal for this year´s sales turnover may be affected

The cause of a production interruption at one of the Company´s subcontractors, described in the press release of 18 August, has now been rectified and this stage of the production process is now up and running. The problem concerned equipment used for automated testing of sensor chips, conducted after a protective layer is applied to the sensor surface. Only after this test of the sensor coating is approved are the sensor chips ready for the final production stages of packaging and assembly  which takes place at another subcontractor concluding the production process.

This production interruption has had and will have a negative effect on planning for the final stages of packaging and final assembly, which will now be pushed back. As it has taken slightly longer than anticipated to rectify the problems then this will have a negative effect on deliveries to customers, and thereby on the Company´s sales turnover for the rest of the year. Sales turnover for the third quarter will be marginally better compared with the second quarter, which is in line with what was said on 18 August. However, there is a risk that the forecast sales increase for the whole year will not reach the previously stated 70 percent. Income for the whole year is estimated to increase markedly compared with the previous year, but uncertainty as to what the real extent of the effects on production for the fourth quarter  will be makes it difficult to give a more precise figure.

The Company´s sensor is the component that reads the user´s finger pattern. The naked silicon chip is extremely vulnerable to mechanical and chemical damage as well as to electrostatic discharges. Therefore the silicon must be protected with a strong coating that withstands not only the most varying environments but also a great number of uses as well as repeated electrostatic discharges up to 15 kV. The high quality requirements the Company has on its components plays an important role in marketing and high quality together with high performance for the technology have been deciding factors for the strong position the Company´s sensor technology has achieved in above all the Chinese market.

Fingerprint Cards adjusts its delivery plans

In the interim report for the period January to June 2008 Fingerprint Cards AB has forecast that deliveries for this year´s third quarter were planned to increase by 50 percent compared with the second quarter of the year. Since the publication of this interim report the Company has received information concerning production interruptions at one of its subcontractors which implies that the delivery plan is unlikely to be fulfilled exactly as stated. The Company´s present knowledge and understanding of the situation requires that this forecast be adjusted, meaning that deliveries for the third quarter are now planned to increase only marginally compared with the second quarter. The assessment is that the production problem will be solved within the next month.

The interruption concerns a specific technical inspection stage in the production process, which takes place just before the sensors produced are delivered to the subcontractor carrying out the packaging work. Following the application of a protective layer to the sensor surface an automated test is made, and the subcontractor responsible for this test has not yet managed to get the automated test equipment working to its full extent and, as a consequence, the flow of chips that continues on to the packaging stage is less than has been planned by the Company for this third quarter. The present assessment is that that the problem will be solved within the next month. No additional delays have been shown by the subcontractor carrying out the packaging work following this inspection.

Sales for this year are expected to increase by approximately 70 percent compared with last year´s sales. The financial goal communicated in the last interim report namely, that the Company plans to reach a break-even point some time during the first part of 2009 continues, with the clarification that this will be during the first half of 2009.

“It is of course disappointing having to communicate a deviation from our plans but, it is our belief that the production interruptions we are crossing should be seen as temporary. Fingerprint Cards´ products are technically advanced and the tolerances in production are very small, so this kind of production problem can arise, particularly with the high quality requirements we demand of our subcontractors. In this matter it is also relevant to point out that our order stock is healthy and that our other production is running at full speed”, assures Lennart Carlson, CEO and President of Fingerprint Cards AB.

Fingerprint Cards receives new order from China worth MSEK 12

Fingerprint Cards´ reseller in China, Hardware & Software Technologies Co. Ltd. (HST), has placed an order for fingerprint sensors worth MSEK 12. Deliveries will be made during the fourth quarter of 2008. The order is for  sensors using the Company´s newly developed and more efficient packaging solution, for which volume production will start now in July. This follows  development work that has taken more than one and a half year.

Mr Lars Lundgren Jr, Vice President Marketing at Fingerprint Cards AB says: “Now that our bigger customers in China have carried out their tests and evaluations of our new product solution this has now been approved and those customers have started to place orders. The major part of the deliveries will go to developers of biometric IT security products made for China´s financial sector. Beyond that the technology is used in a number of physical access products, but we also see an exciting future for new applications developed with our biometric technology aimed at China´s military sector.”

Lennart Carlson, CEO at Fingerprint Cards AB comments: “We have invested more than one million US dollars in this new product and production solution. The work has taken a long time but we finally have a solution that can be produced in an efficient way and at the same time give us a sound sales margin. It is with great confidence we now look forward to commencement of production and delivery to the market.”

Fingerprint Cards has developed electronic systems that determine personal identity by analysing the unique fingertip patterns of individuals. The systems comprise microchips with algorithms that scan, store and compare fingertip patterns without the help of any PC processor. Two types of capacitive sensors have been developed, an extremely small swipe sensor and a flatbed sensor. Processor ASICs and algorithms have been developed for each type of sensor. By virtue of its smallness, low power consumption and the possibility of very low production costs, the technology can be integrated in volume products such as smart cards and mobile (cell) phones, where the requirements for such features are extremely high. Other applications for the technology include access control systems for buildings and products for log on to computers and IT networks.
