<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><b><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-weight:bold;">Wall, N.J. &#151;
March 28, 2006</font></b><font size="2" style="font-size:10.0pt;"> &#151; BIO-key International Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board:
BKYI), a leader in finger-based biometric identification and wireless public
safety solutions, today reported its financial results for its fourth quarter
and year ended December 31, 2005.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">For the year ended December 31, 2005, revenue
totaled $14.2 million, an increase of 149% from the $5.7 million reported for
the same period in the prior year. BIO-key reported a net profit of $358,000 or
0 cents per share, compared with a loss of $14.3 million or 42 cents per share
a year earlier. Net income for both 2005 and 2004 were materially impacted by the
adoption in Q4 2005 of EITF 00-19 &#147;Accounting for Derivative Financial
Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company&#146;s Own Stock&#148;. On
an &#147;Operating Income/Loss&#148; basis, BIO-key reported a net loss of $8.3 million
or $0.18 cents per share for 2005, compared with a loss of $6.4 million or
$0.18 cents per share for 2004.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Gross margin improved to 73% in 2005,
compared to 64% in 2004.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Revenue for the fourth quarter was $3.37
million, a sequential 4% increase from $3.23 million in the third quarter of
2005. EBITDA for the fourth quarter improved to a negative $1.2 million
compared to a negative $1.7 million in the preceding third quarter and a
negative $2.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2004.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Tom Colatosti, BIO-key&#146;s Chairman said, &#147;The
fourth quarter marked an important turning point for the company as the full
impact of cost controls and reductions took effect; receiving awards for a
number of new important customer contracts; restructuring our balance sheet and
improving our working capital; and the implementation of a new organizational
structure to better focus on the growth opportunities in our law, fire and
biometric verticals.&#148;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Colatosti, continued, &#147;The fourth quarter of
2005 marked a major inflection point for the industry with the adoption of
standards and acceleration of federal programs like US-VISIT, Registered
Traveler, Visa Waiver Program, and CAC/TWIC credentialing; renewed enthusiasm
for the biometrics market from industry analysts; substantial inflows of new
investment capital by major institutional and private equity funds; and
emerging security and biometric opportunities in the commercial sector
especially in financial services, health care and electronic access control.&#148;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">In the fourth quarter of 2005, BIO-key
announced a major restructuring of business operations to better focus on
growth. The company created three new business unit divisions aligned by major
business verticals: Biometrics, Law Enforcement and Fire Safety. These units
are managed on a &#147;P &amp; L&#148; basis. Each business unit is organized to respond
quickly to sales opportunities and market needs with a view toward controlling
costs in an effort to achieve unit profitability. &nbsp;These lean and agile
business units are designed to maximize revenue in their individual vertical
spaces and to allocate and size their resources based on market need and
affordability.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">During the fourth quarter of 2005 the company
used net cash of $74,000 compared to a net use of $475,000 in the third quarter
of 2005 as cost reduction programs instituted earlier in the year took effect.</font></p>

<p align="center" style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:center;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">In addition to these operational actions in
January 2006 the company strengthened its balance sheet and liquidity by adding
$1 million in cash and extending the maturity dates of certain notes.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">As reflected in the company&#146;s 10-KSB and as
previously announced, the company is restating its 2003 and 2004 financial
statements as well as each quarter in 2003, 2004 and 2005 to decrease its
revenues in 2003 by $308,620, increase its revenues by $162,720 in 2004 and
increase its revenue by $90,000 in 2005.&#160;
Additionally, as a result of adopting EITF 00-19 &#147;Accounting for
Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a
Company&#146;s Own Stock&#148;, a non-cash interest income charge of $6.0 million was
taken in 2004 and income of $15.2 million was added in 2005. None of these
compliance accounting changes effected business operations or cash.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Several important customer awards were made
