<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">After the close of the fourth quarter,
BIO-key reduced its cost structure by $2 million on an annualized basis,
primarily as a result of headcount reductions and decreases in rental costs.
The Company believes that cost reductions to lower its breakeven point is
prudent in the current economic environment and will improve the Company&#146;s
ability to maintain profitability even on lower revenues. Notwithstanding conservative
cost planning, the Company is seeing an increased level of interest for its
products and services in both its Biometric and Law Enforcement segments. In
Biometrics installed commercial and government projects and pilots are gaining
traction for program expansion, as well as for new business opportunities; in
Law Enforcement </font></p>
