Background Note on BgenuineTec Inc.

On 14 July 2006, BgenuineTec Inc.(AIM; BGTI) was the first Japanese company to be admitted to trading on AIM. It offers fingerprint authentication products to companies and individuals that wish to establish high levels of security using biometrics. Biometrics uses a physical attribute of the body, such as a fingerprint to identify and verify the individual with the aim of making individual authentication efficient and secure.

The Company offers a range of fingerprint authentication products and systems, from an integrated system to a mobile device. The Company designs and outsources the production of these products and can tailor them to individual client specific needs and applications.

Biometric applications provide convenient and reliable security which reduces the cost associated with the failure of conventional authentication methods. The principal factor which distinguishes biometrics from conventional password based authentication is the enhanced security level it provides while maintaining the privacy of individual users.
