Combined Orders Valued at Approximately $800,000

MINNETONKA, Minn.–Identix Incorporated announced that it has recently been awarded contracts from California state and local government agencies for IdentixTouchPrint Enhanced Definition 3000 line of Full-Hand and ten print Live Scan Systems.

The purchase orders are from agencies in California that primarily plan to use the new live scan systems to upgrade and expand their existing network of legacy Identix live scan systems. The systems will also help the law enforcement agencies meet the requirements of California’s Proposition 69, which requires law enforcement officials to capture the hand prints of certain felonious registrants and parolees. The orders, which have a total value of approximately $800,000, are expected to ship and be installed in the Company’s fiscal 2006 second and third quarters ending December 31, 2005 and March 31, 2006, respectively.

Identix President & CEO Dr. Joseph J. Atick commented, “Identix continues to see momentum in the demand for our full hand live scan systems. Sales are being driven by what we believe is a growing demand by law enforcement agencies across the country to gather as much critical identifying information as possible when processing an individual. Identix also continues to experience a solid upgrade cycle in general by state and local agencies throughout the Nation that are replacing as well as expanding legacy live scan systems and networks with the latest in biometric technology and superior image quality capture and transmission. Image quality is of paramount importance to Identix and our customers and Identix is committed to leading the industry.”

Identix TouchPrint Enhanced Definition 3000 Series The TouchPrint Enhanced Definition 3000 Series exceeds the FBI Appendix F standard by providing 3.5 times the pixel density and 300 percent more contrast, resulting in images that have far more fine ridge detail than dictated by the Appendix F requirements. The TouchPrint Enhanced Definition 3000 Series employs technologies that take into account subjects with different size fingers and skin colors, sweaty fingers and users rolling fingers at different speeds. The systems produce clear, crisp fingerprint images with virtually no distortion or false minutiae that can be caused by smudging and smearing. TouchPrint Enhanced Definition 3000 Series systems are designed to maintain consistent image quality over time, and with no moving parts in the optics deck and no silicon pads or coatings to change, they provide maximum reliability and minimal downtime, lowering the total overall cost of ownership.

The TouchPrint Enhanced Definition 3000 Live Scan Series is comprised of rugged and stylized terminals for roll and slap fingerprint capture that can be integrated with software for a complete fingerprinting system in either desktop or transportable configurations, as well as standalone booking stations designed to withstand heavy traffic and harsh environments.

The TouchPrint 3800 employs a proprietary cylindrical imager that enables the full hand - including the carpal crease, cup of the palm, and fingertips - to be captured in a single, intuitive step. There is no ‘stitching together’ of partial palm and finger images, which can result in images being associated with the wrong record. Proprietary optics capture resolution enhances image quality, giving operators optimal ridge detail information that can be used to help solve more crimes. Users of the TouchPrint 3800 have attested to the systems’ ease of use, high image quality and reliability.
