BIO-KEY INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2007 (Unaudited)

1.           BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of BIO-key International, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary (collectively, the “Company”) and are stated in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).  The operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full year. Pursuant to such rules and regulations, certain financial information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements have been condensed or omitted. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements contain all necessary adjustments, consisting only of those of a recurring nature, and disclosures to present fairly the financial position and the results of its operations and cash flows for the periods presented. It is suggested that these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the related notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 (the “Form 10-KSB”).

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (SFAS 157) which is effective for calendar year companies on January 1, 2008. This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands the related disclosure requirements. Management is currently evaluating the impact and timing of the adoption of SFAS 157 on the Corporation’s financial condition and results of operations.

In February, 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities,” which is effective for calendar year companies on January 1, 2008. The statement allows an entity the irrevocable option to elect fair value for the initial and subsequent measurement for certain financial assets and liabilities on a contract-by-contract basis. Subsequent changes in fair value of these financial assets and liabilities would be recognized in earnings when they occur. SFAS 159 further establishes certain additional disclosure requirements. Management is currently evaluating the impact and timing of the adoption of SFAS 159 on the Corporation’s financial condition and results of operations.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in the 2006 consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2007 presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the previously reported net loss or stockholders’ equity (deficit).

2.           LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCE MATTERS

We have only recently begun to generate significant revenues and have incurred significant losses to date, and at June 30, 2007, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $53 million. In addition, broad commercial acceptance of our technology is critical to the Company’s success and ability to generate future revenues.

8




The Company is also still in need of additional capital, and is currently considering various alternatives related to raising additional capital including new funding from other sources.  No assurance can be given that any form of additional financing will be available on terms acceptable to the Company, that adequate financing will be obtained to meet its needs, or that such financing would not be dilutive to existing shareholders.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern, and assumes continuity of operations, realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The matters described in the preceding paragraphs raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Recoverability of a major portion of the recorded asset amounts shown in the accompanying balance sheet is dependent upon the Company’s ability to meet its funding requirements on a continuing basis, and become profitable in its future operations. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence.

3.           DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On May 22, 2007, the Company and ZOLL Data Systems, Inc., a subsidiary of ZOLL Medical Corporation (“ZOLL”), entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which ZOLL acquired substantially all of the assets related to the Company’s Fire/EMS Services division (the “Fire Segment” or “Fire”).

At the closing of the sale, the Company received approximately $1.8 million in cash, which represented the purchase price of $7 million, less closing adjustments of approximately $4.3 million, which was paid to the Senior Noteholder (see Note 9), approximately $450,000, which was paid to the leaseholder of the Company’s premises, $400,000, which was placed in escrow pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, and approximately $40,000 credited to Zoll on the assumption of certain liabilities. It is expected the escrow balance, less applicable adjustments (if approved) shall be remitted to the Company over the ensuing twelve months.

In the second quarter ended June 30, 2007, the Company recorded a net gain on the sale of the Fire Segment of $4,070,859, or $0.07 per diluted share.

Prior to the sale, Fire had been reported as a separate segment. The Company sold its Fire operating segment to better focus on its other core lines of business. This business has been reported as a discontinued operation in accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” and all periods presented have been restated accordingly to reflect these operations as discontinued.

Revenues and net income (loss) for the Fire Segment for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 were as follows:

4.           SHARE BASED COMPENSATION

The Company accounts for share based compensation in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123R, which requires measurement of compensation cost for all stock awards at fair value on date of grant and recognition of compensation over the service period for awards expected to vest.. The majority of our share-based compensation arrangements vest over either a three or four year vesting schedule. The Company expenses its share-based compensation under the ratable method, which treats each vesting tranche as if it were an individual grant. The fair value of stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model, and requires the input of highly subjective assumptions. These assumptions include estimating the length of time employees will retain their vested stock options before exercising them (the “expected option term”), the estimated volatility of our common stock price over the option’s expected term, the risk-free interest rate over the option’s expected term, and the Company’s expected annual dividend yield. Changes in these subjective assumptions can materially affect the estimate of fair value of stock-based compensation and consequently, the related amount recognized as an expense in the consolidated statements of operations. As required under the accounting rules, we review our valuation assumptions at each grant date and, as a result, are likely to change our valuation assumptions used to value employee stock-based awards granted in future periods. The values derived from using the Black-Scholes model are recognized as expense over the service period, net of estimated forfeitures (the number of individuals that will ultimately not complete their vesting requirements). The estimation of stock awards that will ultimately vest requires significant judgment. We consider many factors when estimating expected forfeitures, including types of awards, employee class, and historical experience. Actual results, and future changes in estimates, may differ substantially from our current estimates.

The compensation expense recognized under SFAS 123R increased the Company’s loss from continuing operations by $168,007 with no effect per share (basic and diluted) for the three months ended June 30, 2007, and $388,984 with a $0.01 effect per share (basic and diluted), for the six months ended June 30, 2007. There was no impact on cash flows from operating, investing, or financing activities. As the Company uses the full valuation allowance with respect to deferred taxes, SFAS 123R had no impact on deferred taxes.

The following table presents share-based compensation expenses for continuing operations included in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations:

Valuation Assumptions for Stock Options

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, 64,000, and 153,000 stock options were granted, respectively. The fair value of each option was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:

The stock volatility for each grant is determined based on the review of the experience of the weighted average of historical daily price changes of the Company’s common stock over the expected option term. The expected term was determined using the simplified method for estimating expected option life, which qualify as “plain-vanilla” options; and the risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for periods corresponding with the expected life of the option.

EQUITY COMPENSATION PLAN INFORMATION

1996 Stock Option Plan

During 1996, the Board of Directors and stockholders of the Company adopted the 1996 Stock Option Plan (the “1996 Plan”). Under the 1996 Plan, 750,000 shares of common stock are reserved for issuance to employees, officers, directors, and consultants of the Company at exercise prices which may not be below 100% of fair market value for incentive stock options and 50% for all others. The term of stock options granted may not exceed ten years. Options issued under the Plan vest pursuant to the terms of stock option agreements with the recipients. In the event of a change in control, as defined, all options outstanding vest immediately. The Plan expired in May 2005.

1999 Stock Option Plan

During 1999, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted the 1999 Stock Option Plan (the “1999 Plan”). The 1999 Plan was not presented to stockholders for approval and thus incentive stock options are not available under the plan. Under the 1999 Plan, 2,000,000 shares of common stock are reserved for issuance to employees, officers, directors, and consultants of the Company at exercise prices which may not be below 85% of fair market value.

In the event of a change in control, as defined, all options outstanding vest immediately. The 1999 Plan terminates in August 2009.

2004 Stock Option Plan

On October 12, 2004, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the 2004 Stock Option Plan (the “2004 Plan”). The 2004 Plan has not yet been presented to stockholders for approval and thus incentive

11




stock options are not available under this plan. Under the terms of this plan, 4,000,000 shares of common stock are reserved for issuance to employees, officers, directors, and consultants of the Company at exercise prices which may not be below 85% of fair market value. The term of stock options granted may not exceed ten years. Options issued under the Plan vest pursuant to the terms of stock option agreements with the recipients. In the event of a change in control, as defined, all options outstanding vest immediately. The Plan terminates in October 2014.

Non-Plan Stock Options

The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total intrinsic value, based on the Company’s closing stock price of $0.18 as of June 30, 2007, which would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options as of that date. The total number of in-the-money options exercisable as of June 30, 2007 was 0.

The weighted average fair value of options, as determined under SFAS No. 123R, granted during the three months ended June 30, 2007 and June 30, 2006 was $0.14 and $0.56 per share, respectively, and during the six months ended June 30, 2007 and June 30, 2006 was $0.19 and $0.56 per share respectively

The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the three-month period ended June 30, 2007 and June 30, 2006 was $0 and $0, respectively. The aggregate intrinsic value of options exercised during the six-month period ended June 30, 2007 and June 30, 2006 was $0 and $0 respectively.

As of June 30, 2007 future compensation cost related to nonvested stock options is approximately $491,547 and will be recognized over an estimated weighted average period of approximately 1.24 years.

5.           EARNINGS PER SHARE COMMON STOCK (“EPS”)

The Company’s basic EPS is calculated using net income (loss) available to common shareholders and the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted EPS includes the effect from potential issuance of common stock, such as stock issuable pursuant to the exercise of stock options and warrants and the assumed conversion of convertible notes and preferred stock. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, diluted per share computations are not presented since this effect would be antidilutive.

The reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted EPS calculations was as follows for both of the following three and six month period ended June 30:

7.           GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

The Company’s goodwill resulted from the acquisition of Public Safety Group, Inc. and certain assets and assumed liabilities of the Mobile Government Division of Aether Systems, Inc. in 2004. As provided by SFAS No. 142, the Company has elected to perform the annual assessment of the carrying value of all goodwill as of September 30 of each year using a number of criteria, including the value of the overall enterprise.

Due to the disposal of the Fire business in May 2007, the Company allocated a greater proportion of Corporate overhead to its Law and Biometrics segments, which affected the fair value assessment of these two remaining reporting units. In addition, the Company also repaid the balance of all convertible debt during the quarter, which increased the net assets of the Company. Accordingly, the Company assessed these events significant enough to trigger the need for an interim assessment as to the recoverability of goodwill.

14




Based on the Company’s assessment, as of June 30, 2007, the Company believed no impairment to goodwill existed. The Company had previously allocated $3,552,668 of goodwill to the Fire business, which was disposed during the period. As of June 30, 2007 remaining goodwill totaled $7,836,986.

8.           DEFERRED FINANCING COSTS

Deferred financing costs are amortized based upon the lives of the respective debt obligations.  Due to the repayment of all convertible debt during the period, the net book value of the associated deferred financing costs was written off to Loss on Extinguishment of Debt (see Note 14).

Amortization of deferred financing costs prior to the repayment of convertible debt was included in interest expense, and was $27,000 and $29,441 for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 respectively, and was $83,871 and $120,642 for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 respectively.

Senior Convertible Term Notes

2004 and 2005 Senior Notes

On September 29, 2004, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “2004 Senior Purchase Agreement”) with Laurus Master Fund, Ltd. (“Laurus”).  On June 8, 2005, we entered into a second Securities Purchase Agreement (the “2005 Senior Purchase Agreement”) with Laurus.

On May 22, 2007, the Company used approximately $4,300,000 of the net cash proceeds received in connection with the sale of the Fire Segment (see Note 3) to repay in full its obligations to Laurus under the 2004 and 2005 Senior Notes.

2004 and 2005 Senior Note Derivatives and Discounts

The 2004 and 2005 Senior Notes contained features that were considered embedded derivative financial instruments, such as: Principal’s conversion option, Monthly Payments Conversion Option, Interest Rate Adjustment provision, and the Default provision. These features were bifurcated and recorded on the Company’s balance sheet at their fair value.

Following the repayment of the 2004 and 2005 Senior Notes on May 22, 2007, the value of the embedded derivatives and amortized discounts related to the Notes were written off to Loss on Extinguishment of Debt (see Note 14).

Conversion of Default Interest Payable on 2004 and 2005 Senior Notes

With respect to the convertible notes issued in 2004 and 2005, the Company was required to make interest payments or issue registered shares in lieu of interest payments on a monthly basis.

Due to the previous defaults on Senior and Subordinated Notes held by the Company, obligations totaling $622,764 were accrued in prior periods. Effective April 18, 2007, the Company entered into an agreement with Laurus to satisfy these default interest obligations in full by issuing shares of the Company’s restricted common stock to Laurus. This agreement was subject to a condition that the Company would consummate a business transaction on or before May 18, 2007, or such later date as the parties agreed, which would raise sufficient proceeds to repay all of the Company’s obligations under the 2004 and 2005 Senior Notes, as noted above.

On May 22, 2007, in accordance with the agreement with Laurus, the Company converted the balance of the default interest payable into shares of restricted common stock.

16




Series B Convertible Preferred Stock

The Company issued 1,000,000 shares of redeemable Series B Convertible Preferred Stock on February 23, 2006, upon the conversion of certain convertible term notes. Each share of Series B preferred stock has an Original Issue Price of $1.00 per share. The holder has the option to redeem the shares of Series B preferred stock at any time for a number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to the Original Issue Price plus accumulated and unpaid dividends divided by the fixed conversion price of $0.30 per share of Common Stock (This conversion price was reset from $0.50 per share of common stock in connection with the sale of our Fire business). The conversion price is subject to adjustment if common stock is issued by the Company subsequent to the original issue date of the Series B preferred stock, except for other conversions, options, warrants, dividends paid in stock or pursuant to an acquisition by the Company, at a price less than the conversion price. Mandatory conversion of all Series B shares will be automatic if, for the 30 trading days prior to January 1, 2009, the average closing bid price for one share of common stock is at least $1.10. The shares shall be converted at the conversion price then in effect. If the average bid price for the 30 trading days prior to January 1, 2009 per common share is less than $1.10 the Company shall mandatorily redeem all remaining outstanding Series B preferred stock by paying cash equal to $1.00 per share with all accrued and unpaid dividends.  The Company may, at its election, redeem any or all of the remaining outstanding Series B shares in cash at a conversion price equal to $1.20 per share, together with all accrued and unpaid dividends upon giving 30 day notice. Holders of the Series B preferred stock are entitled to cumulative, prior and in preference to holders of common stock dividends equal to 15% per annum of the Original Purchase Price still outstanding, payable quarterly commencing April 1, 2006. In any liquidation of the Company, each share of preferred stock is entitled to a liquidation preference on a pari passu basis with the Series A and Series C Preferred stock before any distribution may be made on the Company’s common stock.

As of June 30, 2007, 1,000,000 preferred stock shares were authorized, 970,612 of which were issued and outstanding, at a par value of $0.0001 and a liquidation preference of $1.00 with accumulated dividends in arrears of $36,815, which have been accreted to the principal balance of the Series B preferred stock.

The Preferred Stock contains features that are considered embedded derivative financial instruments:  Preferred Stock’s conversion option:  The Preferred Stock is convertible at the Holder’s option at any time at the fixed conversion price of $0.30 per share; Quarterly Dividends Conversion Option:  Holders have the option to convert the Stock’s quarterly dividend payment at a conversion price of the average 10 days closing price prior to the dividend record date.  These features have been bifurcated and recorded on the Company’s balance sheet at their fair value.

As of June 30, 2007 the derivatives were valued at $40,346.  Conversion related derivatives were valued using the Binomial Option Pricing Model with the following assumptions: dividend yield of 15%; annual volatility of 42%; and risk free annual interest rate of 4.89% as well as probability analysis related to trading volume restrictions.

An amount equal to the original value of the derivatives was recorded as a discount to the Preferred Stock.  The discount is being accreted to the principal balance of the Preferred Stock, using the effective interest method, over the expected term of the Preferred Stock.  At June 30, 2007, the unamortized discount on the Preferred Stock was $189,719.

Series C Convertible Preferred Stock

The Company issued 592,032 shares of redeemable Series C Convertible Preferred Stock on August 10, 2006, upon the exchange of certain convertible term notes. Each share of Series C preferred stock has an Original Issue Price of $10.00 per share. The holder has the option to redeem the shares of Series C preferred stock at any time for a number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to the Original Issue Price plus accumulated and unpaid dividends divided by the fixed conversion price of $0.30 per share of Common Stock (This conversion price was reset from $0.50 per share of common stock in connection with the sale of our Fire business). The conversion price is subject to adjustment if common stock is issued by the Company subsequent to the original issue date of the Series C preferred stock, except for other

17




conversions, options, warrants, dividends paid in stock or pursuant to an acquisition by the Company, at a price less than the conversion price. Mandatory conversion of all Series C shares will be automatic if, for the 30 trading days prior to January 1, 2009, the average closing bid price for one share of common stock is at least $1.20. The shares shall be converted at the conversion price then in effect. If the average bid price for the 30 trading days prior to January 1, 2009 per common share is less than $1.20 the Company shall mandatorily redeem all remaining outstanding Series C preferred stock by paying cash equal to $10.00 per share with all accrued and unpaid dividends.  The Company may, at its election, redeem any or all of the remaining outstanding Series C shares in cash at a conversion price equal to $12.00 per share, together with all accrued and unpaid dividends upon giving 30 day notice. Holders of the Series C preferred stock are entitled to cumulative, prior and in preference to holders of common stock dividends equal to 15% per annum of the Original Purchase Price still outstanding, payable quarterly commencing September 1, 2007. In any liquidation of the Company, each share of preferred stock is entitled to a liquidation preference on a pari passu basis with the Series A and Series B Preferred stock before any distribution may be made on the Company’s common stock.

As of June 30, 2007, 600,000 preferred stock shares were authorized, 592,032 of which were issued and outstanding, at a par value of $0.0001 and a liquidation preference of $10.00 with accumulated dividends in arrears of $166,048, which have been accreted to the principal balance of the Series C preferred stock.

The Preferred Stock contains features that are considered embedded derivative financial instruments:  Preferred Stock’s conversion option:  The Preferred Stock is convertible at the Holder’s option at any time at the fixed conversion price of $0.30 per share; Quarterly Dividends Conversion Option:  Holders have the option to convert the Stock’s quarterly dividend payment at a conversion price of the average 10 days closing price prior to the dividend record date.  These features have been bifurcated and recorded on the Company’s balance sheet at their fair value.

As of June 30, 2007 the derivatives were valued at $245,309.  Conversion related derivatives were valued using the Binomial Option Pricing Model with the following assumptions: dividend yield of 15%; annual volatility of 42%; and risk free annual interest rate of 4.89% as well as probability analysis related to trading volume restrictions.

An amount equal to the original value of the derivatives was recorded as a discount to the Preferred Stock.   The discount is being accreted to the principal balance of the Preferred Stock, using the effective interest method, over the expected term of the Preferred Stock.  At June 30, 2007, the unamortized discount on the Preferred Stock was $674,167.

Together with the above transaction, the terms of certain warrants held by the Company’s investment bankers and their associates were modified. The incremental value of the modification was calculated to be $110,453, and was allocated against the proceeds of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock as a cost of financing, and is being accreted to the principal balance of the Preferred Stock, using the effective interest method, over the expected term of the term of the Preferred Stock.  At June 30, 2007, the net amount remaining to be accreted was $69,370.

12.         STOCKHOLDERS EQUITY

Common Stock

The Company is authorized to issue 170,000,000 shares of common stock, $.0001 par value per share, of which 59,002,217 were outstanding as of June 30, 2007.

Holders of common stock have equal rights to receive dividends when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors, out of funds legally available therefor. Holders of common stock have one vote for each share held of record and do not have cumulative voting rights.

18




Holders of common stock are entitled, upon liquidation of the Company, to share ratably in the net assets available for distribution, subject to the rights, if any, of holders of any preferred stock then outstanding. Shares of common stock are not redeemable and have no preemptive or similar rights. All outstanding shares of common stock are fully paid and nonassessable.

During the three months ended June 30, 2007, preferred stockholders converted principal of $29,388 and accumulated dividends of $173,016 into 816,854 shares of the Company’s common stock. In addition accrued default interest of $622,764 on the 2004 and 2005 Senior Notes with Laurus was converted into 850,000 shares of restricted common stock during the period.

Series A Convertible Preferred Stock

Within the limits and restrictions provided in the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, the Board of Directors has the authority, without further action by the shareholders, to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $.0001 par value per share, in one or more series, and to fix, as to any such series, any dividend rate, redemption price, preference on liquidation or dissolution, sinking fund terms, conversion rights, voting rights, and any other preference or special rights and qualifications.

In March 2004, we designated 100,000 shares of preferred stock as Series C Convertible Preferred Stock. In connection with the Company’s reincorporation in Delaware on January 1, 2005, each share of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock was automatically converted into one share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A Shares”), of which 30,557 were issued and outstanding June 30, 2007. The following describes the material provisions of the Series A Shares which are more fully set forth in the Certificate of Designation on file with the Delaware Secretary of State.

The Series A Shares accrue a cumulative annual dividend of 7% on the $100 face amount of such shares payable June 15 and December 15 each year in shares of common stock. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the Series A shares have a liquidation preference of $100 per share (plus all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon) prior to any payment or distribution to holders of our common stock. The Series A Shares are convertible into common stock at a conversion price of $0.30 per share (This conversion price was reset from $0.50 per share of common stock in connection with the sale of our Fire business). The conversion price is subject to proportional adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends or reclassifications. Subject to certain exceptions, in the event we issue additional shares of common stock at a purchase price less than the conversion price of the Series A Shares, the conversion price shall be lowered to such lesser price. In the event that the average closing bid price of our common stock is less than $1.00 per share for thirty (30) consecutive trading days at any time after March 3, 2008, we will be required to redeem the Series A Shares by payment of $100 per share plus all accrued and unpaid dividends due thereon. This date was deferred from March 3, 2007 to March 3, 2008 by an agreement with the holders of the Series A Shares on March 28, 2007.

We are required to obtain the consent of the holders of a majority of the Series A Shares in order to, among other things, issue any shares of preferred stock that are equal to or have a preference over the Series A shares or issue any shares of preferred stock, rights, options, warrants, or any other securities convertible into common stock of the Company, other than those issued to employees of the Company in the ordinary course of their employment or to consultants or other persons providing services to the Company so long as such issuances do not exceed 500,000 shares of common stock. We are also required to obtain such consent in order to, among other things, complete a sale or other disposition of any material assets, complete an acquisition of a material amount of assets, engage in a merger, reorganization or consolidation, or incur or guaranty any indebtedness in excess of $50,000.

As of June 30, 2007, cumulative dividends in arrears related to the Series A preferred stock were approximately $134,627, which have been accreted to the principal balance of the Series A preferred stock.

13.           SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company’s consolidated operations are divided into two segments: Law and Biometric. The Company evaluates performance and allocates resources based on revenues and operating income (loss). Operating income (loss) for each segment includes selling, general and administrative expenses directly attributable to the segment in addition to those allocated as a percentage based on the segments budgeted revenues. The segmentation of operating income (loss) as noted above and detailed below reflects how management now evaluates its business.  Assets for the company are commingled and are related to all operating segments. Management does not evaluate or identify the operating assets of the segments separately.

Geographically North American sales accounted for approximately 100% of the Company’s total sales for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006.

14.                 EXTINGUISHMENT OF DEBT

To address certain liquidity issues, on January 23, 2006, the Company issued convertible debt, common stock and warrants in consideration for certain modifications of its outstanding 2004 and 2005 Senior Notes.

On May 22, 2007, the Company used approximately $4,300,000 of the net cash proceeds received in connection with the sale of the Fire Segment (see Note 3) to repay in full its obligations to Laurus under the 2004 and 2005 Senior Notes.

In accordance with the Emerging Issues Task Force of the FASB No. 96-19, Debtor’s Accounting for Modification or Exchange of Debt Terms (“EITF 96-19”), and Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 26, Early Extinguishment of Debt (“APB 26”), the Company treated the above transactions as extinguishments of debt, and recorded a non-operating “loss on extinguishment of debt” of $2,322,016 for the January 2006 transaction and $403,940 for the May 2007 transaction.

15.                 INCOME TAXES

On January 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for the Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN No. 48”). FIN No. 48 requires that the impact of tax positions be recognized in the financial statements if they are more likely than not of being sustained based on the technical merits of the position. As disclosed in the Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company has a valuation allowance against the full amount of its net deferred taxes. The Company currently provides a valuation allowance against deferred taxes when it is more likely than not that some portion, or all of its deferred tax assets will not be realized.

As a result of the implementation of FIN No. 48, the Company reduced its deferred tax assets and the associated valuation allowance for gross unrecognized tax affected benefits by approximately $3,765,000. There was no adjustment to accumulated deficit as a result of these unrecognized tax benefits since there was a full valuation allowance against the related deferred tax assets. If these unrecognized tax benefits are ultimately recognized, they would have no impact on the effective tax rate due to the existence of the valuation allowance.

The Company has not been audited by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) or any states in connection with income taxes. The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state jurisdictions. The periods from 2000-2006 remain open to examination by the IRS and state jurisdictions. The Company believes it is not subject to any tax risk beyond the preceding discussion. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties accrued on any unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. As of the date of adoption of FIN No. 48, the Company did not have any accrued interest or penalties associated with any unrecognized tax benefits, nor was any interest expense recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2007.

ITEM 2.                                                     MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITIONS AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT FOR FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

The information contained in this Report on Form 10-QSB and in other public statements by the Company and Company officers include or may contain certain forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this Report on Form 10-QSB, including statements regarding our future financial position, business strategy and plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “will,” “may,” “future,” “plan,” “intend” and “expect” and similar expressions generally identify forward-looking statements. Although we believe that our plans, intentions and expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot be sure that they will be achieved. Actual results may differ materially from the forward-looking statements contained herein due to a number of factors. Many of these factors are set forth in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB under the caption “Risk Factors” and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These factors are not intended to represent a complete list of the general or specific factors that may affect us.

OVERVIEW

We develop and market proprietary fingerprint identification biometric technology and software solutions. We also deliver advanced identification solutions and information services to law enforcement departments, public safety agencies and other government and private sector customers. Our mobile wireless technology provides first responders with critical, reliable, real-time data and images from local, state and national databases.

We pioneered the development of automated, finger identification technology that can be used without the aid of non-automated methods of identification such as a personal identification, password, token, smart card, ID card, credit card, passport, driver’s license or other form of possession or knowledge based identification. This advanced BIO-key™ identification technology improves both the accuracy and speed of finger-based biometrics and is the only finger identification algorithm that has been certified by the International Computer Security Association (ICSA).

Since our inception in 1993, we have spent substantial time and effort in completing the development of what we believe is the most discriminating and effective finger biometric technology available. During the past three years, our focus has shifted to marketing and selling this technology and completing strategic acquisitions that can help us leverage our capability to deliver identification solutions. We have built a direct sale force of professionals with substantial experience in selling technology solutions to government and corporate customers.

On March 30, 2004, we acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Public Safety Group, Inc., a privately-held provider of wireless solutions for law enforcement and public safety markets based in Winter Park, Florida, in exchange for an aggregate of 2,422,108 shares of our common stock, $500,000 in cash, and our assumption of $600,000 in aggregate net liabilities of PSG. The acquisition was completed pursuant to the terms of an agreement and plan of merger by and among the Company, BIO-key Acquisition Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, PSG and all of the shareholders of PSG. As a result of this transaction, PSG became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

On September 30, 2004, we completed our acquisition of the Mobile Government Division from Aether Systems Inc. Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of August 16, 2004 by and among the

22




Company, Aether, Cerulean Technology, Inc. and SunPro, Inc., the Company paid Aether a purchase price of $10,000,000 in cash, subject to post-closing adjustments to reflect changes in Aether Mobile Government’s working capital and cash flows since June 30, 2004. Post-closing working capital adjustments resulted in an additional payment by the Company of $341,878 in December 2004.

The Mobile Government Division provides wireless data solutions for use by public safety organizations, primarily state and local police, fire and rescue and emergency medical services organizations that enable such organizations to access law enforcement databases to validate identities and obtain suspect information. Its public safety solutions are integrated into fifty (50) different state databases, as well as local and federal databases, and its products deliver real-time information in seconds, without the need for human dispatchers or other resources.

On May 22, 2007, the Company and ZOLL Data Systems, Inc., a subsidiary of ZOLL Medical Corporation (“ZOLL”), entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which ZOLL acquired substantially all of the assets related to the Company’s Fire/EMS Services division (the “Business”) for $7,000,000 in cash (the “Sale”).  ZOLL also agreed, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, to assume certain liabilities related to the Business.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

For detailed information on our critical accounting policies and estimates, see our financial statements and notes thereto included in this Report and in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006.  There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates from those disclosed in our 10-KSB filed on March 30, 2007.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (SFAS 157) which is effective for calendar year companies on January 1, 2008. This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands the related disclosure requirements. Management is currently evaluating the impact and timing of the adoption of SFAS 157 on the Corporation’s financial condition and results of operations.

In February, 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities,” which is effective for calendar year companies on January 1, 2008. The statement allows an entity the irrevocable option to elect fair value for the initial and subsequent measurement for certain financial assets and liabilities on a contract-by-contract basis. Subsequent changes in fair value of these financial assets and liabilities would be recognized in earnings when they occur. SFAS 159 further establishes certain additional disclosure requirements. Management is currently evaluating the impact and timing of the adoption of SFAS 159 on the Corporation’s financial condition and results of operations.

Revenues

Law Enforcement

Service revenue for the segment for the three month period ended June 30, 2006 included $773,430 from a long-term project that the Company had participated in as a subcontractor.  The amount resulted from a cash payment of $570,546 along with $202,884 of revenue that was previously deferred until evidence of full acceptance by the end user was received by the Company.  License & other revenue for the three month period ended June 30, 2007 included $310,000 from a cash payment that the Company received for the above mentioned project.

Biometrics

Biometrics revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2007 decreased 3% from the same period in 2006 as the market for the company’s products continues to develop slowly.

Costs of goods sold

Law Enforcement

Cost of services for the three months ended June 30, 2007 decreased from the 2006 period due to a lower headcount within the segment, and efficiencies gained from utilizing newer communication technologies.

Cost of licenses for the three month period ended June 30, 2006 included approximately $65,000 from the purchase of third party software, which was a non-recurring expense. In addition, $310,000 of license revenue recognized in the three months ended June 30, 2007 had no current costs attributed to it.

Biometrics

Cost of services decreased for the three months ended June 30, 2007 due to a lower allocable cost base of corporate expenses, as the Company moved to a direct cost center method in its operations. License and other costs are primarily related to the hardware costs of sales of biometric fingerprint readers. Fluctuations of expenses in this segment should be read in the context of a small prior-year base-line value of costs.

For 2006, SG&A costs were allocated to segments based on several factors including management estimates and percentage of revenue.  For 2007, sales expenses and R&D management expenses are a direct cost to the segment, while G&A costs are allocated between business segments on fixed percentages that were established by management during the budgeting process.

The overall decline in total SG&A costs for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 as compared to 2006 are primarily attributable to a reduction in headcount driven by continued focus on expense management.  Included in the cost reductions, were reduced commission expenses of $100,000, and elimination of certain compliance costs from restating prior financial statements during the second quarter of 2006.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2007, interest expense decreased $2,001,831 or 88% as compared to the same quarter in 2006.  The decrease was attributable to reductions in convertible debt, related discount and other debt related instruments due to the Company restructuring in August 2006, the expiration of the letter of credit arrangement with Aether Systems Inc. on December 31, 2006, and the repayment of all debt in May 2007.  Interest expense includes actual cash paid for interest as well as non-cash charges for amortization of debt discounts and deferred charges.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2007, derivative and warrant fair value adjustments decreased, when compared to the 2006 period, due to changes in the fair market value of embedded derivatives and detachable warrants issued with convertible debt issued in 2004 and 2005, as well as additional derivatives recorded as a result of financings in 2006. The fair value of the derivatives will fluctuate based on; our stock price on the valuation date, the debt conversion price, the volatility of our stock price over a period of time, changes in the value of the risk free interest rate, and the time to maturity of the outstanding debt at different points in time.

The balance of unamortized debt discounts, deferred financing charges, and derivatives with respect to the 2004 and 2005 financings were extinguished as part of the May 2007 debt repayment.  The changes represented non-cash income and expense charges to the statement of operations, and were classified as loss on extinguishment of debt. There was no extinguishment of debt for the quarter ended June 30, 2006.

The Company evaluates performance and allocates resources based on revenues and operating income (loss). Operating income (loss) for each segment includes selling, general and administrative expenses directly attributable to the segment in addition to those allocated as a percentage based on the segments’ revenues and other factors. The segmentation of operating income as noted above and detailed below reflects how management now evaluates its business.  Assets for the Company are commingled and are related to all operating segments. Management does not evaluate or identify the operating assets of the segments separately.

Revenues

Law Enforcement

Service revenue for the segment for the six month period ended June 30, 2006 included $773,430 from a long-term project that the Company had participated in as a subcontractor.  The amount resulted from a cash payment of $570,546 along with $202,884 of revenue that was previously deferred until evidence of full acceptance by the end user was received by the Company.  License & other revenue for the six month period ended June 30, 2007 included $603,000 from a cash payment that the Company received for the above mentioned project, and also $244,000 from a sale to a new customer.

Biometrics

For the six months ended June 30, 2007, the Biometric segment had a decline in revenues over the same period in 2006, as the 2006 results included a substantial license sale to a single customer.  Sales in this segment continue to be unpredictable as the market for the Biometrics’ products continues to develop at an inconsistent pace.

The decrease resulted from reduced commission charges, as well as elimination of certain accounting and consulting fees incurred during in 2006 relating to reporting and compliance issues the Company experienced due to restatements and amendments of previously filed financial and registration statements. The decrease was offset by the Company incurring $426,000 in legal and regulatory costs associated with the failed acquisition of a Canadian company.

For the six months ended June 30, 2007, interest expense decreased $3,529,839 or 82% as compared to the same quarter in 2006.  The decrease was attributable to reductions in convertible debt, related discount and other debt related instruments due to the Company restructuring in August 2006, the expiration of the letter of credit arrangement with Aether Systems Inc. on December 31, 2006, and the repayment of all debt in May 2007.  Interest expense includes actual cash paid for interest as well as non-cash charges for amortization of debt discounts and deferred charges.

For the six months ended June 30, 2007, derivative and warrant fair value adjustments decreased, when compared to the 2006 period, due to changes in the fair market value of embedded derivatives and detachable warrants issued with convertible debt issued in 2004 and 2005, as well as additional derivatives recorded as a result of financings in 2006. The fair value of the derivatives will fluctuate based on; our stock price on the valuation date, the debt conversion price, the volatility of our stock price over a period of time, changes in the value of the risk free interest rate, and the time to maturity of the outstanding debt at different points in time.

The balance of unamortized debt discounts, deferred financing charges, and derivatives with respect to the 2004 and 2005 financings were extinguished as part of the May 2007 debt repayment, and January 2006 refinancing.  The changes represented non-cash income and expense charges to the statement of operations, and were classified as loss on extinguishment of debt.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Net cash used in operations during the six months ended June 30, 2007 was approximately $2,227,000, including approximately $2,361,000 used for continuing operations offset by approximately $575,000 provided by the discontinued Fire business. The cash used for operating activities of continuing operations was primarily due to the following items:

·                  Positive cash flows related to a decrease in accounts receivable of approximately $1,425,000,

·                  Negative cash flows from a decrease in deferred revenue of approximately $908,000 due to the timing of billings.

The following non-cash items reflected in the Company’s statement of operations are used to reconcile the net loss to the net cash used in operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2007:

·                  The Company issued notes in 2004, 2005 and 2006 and preferred stock in 2006, all of which contained embedded derivatives, and associated warrants. In 2007, the Company recognized gains of approximately $670,000 related to the decrease in value of the derivatives and associated warrants. The decrease in value is driven mainly by the decline in value of the underlying BIO-key stock.

·                  A debt discount was identified when the 2004, 2005 and 2006 notes were initially recorded to reflect the fair market value of the embedded derivatives and warrants associated with the debt. The discount was amortized using the effective interest method into earnings until the underlying debt was repaid on May 22, 2007. In 2007, the company recorded non-cash interest expense related to the amortization of the debt discount of approximately $360,000.

·                  The Company recorded approximately $403,000 of charges in 2007, for the non-cash expense related to the extinguishment of debt as a result of the May 2007 repayment. The loss mainly relates to the accounting for the effect of extinguishing previously recorded deferred financing costs and changes in the present value of embedded derivatives, and warrants.

·                  The company recorded approximately $368,000 of charges in 2007 for the expense of amortizing intangible assets.

·                  The Company recorded approximately $389,000 of charges in 2007 for the expense of issuing options to employees for services.

Net cash provided by investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was approximately $6,840,000, including approximately $6,848,000 provided by continuing operations, offset by approximately $8,000 used by the discontinued Fire business. The cash provided by investing activities for continuing operations was primarily driven by $7,000,000 in proceeds from the disposal of the Fire business, and deposit returns of approximately $313,000, offset by approximately $403,000 of funds transferred to an escrow account with respect to the Fire disposal.

Net cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2007 was approximately $4,662,000, which was totally comprised of debt repayments on May 22, 2007.

Working capital deficit at June 30, 2007 was approximately $4,366,000 as compared to a deficit of approximately $8,648,000 at December 31, 2006, the improvement of which was driven mainly by the Company’s repayment of convertible debt in May 2007.

Since January 7, 1993 (date of inception), our capital needs have been principally met through proceeds

32




from the sale of equity and debt securities.

We do not expect any material capital expenditures during the next twelve months.

We do not currently maintain a line of credit or term loan with any commercial bank or other financial institution.

Liquidity outlook

At June 30, 2007 our total of cash and cash equivalents was $578,327 as compared to $627,167 at December 31, 2006. This excludes $401,331 of restricted cash, which is currently in escrow in accordance with the settlement of the Fire business proceeds from Zoll. It is expected the escrow balance, less applicable adjustments (if approved) shall be remitted to the Company over the ensuing twelve months.

As discussed above, the Company has financed itself through access to the capital markets by issuing debt securities, convertible preferred stock and common stock. We currently require approximately $1,000,000 per month, to conduct our operations. During the first six months of 2007, we generated approximately $5,178,000 of revenue and expect to increase quarterly revenue during the remainder of 2007, and into 2008.

During 2006, the Company incurred significant expenses in order to complete several SB-2 registration statements related to various financing transactions, and to restate prior year financial statements.  While the Company does not expect these costs to continue into 2007, there will be additional costs incurred in order for the Company to comply with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

The Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock may be redeemable in cash by the stockholders during the second quarter of 2008, if certain stock price performance conditions are not met. This date was deferred from March 3, 2007 to March 3, 2008 by an agreement with the holders of the Series A shares on March 28, 2007.

We need to obtain additional funding to (i) conduct the sales, marketing and technical support necessary to execute our plan to substantially grow operations, increase revenue and serve a significant customer base; and (ii) provide working capital. Therefore, we need to obtain additional financing through the issuance of debt or equity securities, or to restructure our financial position through similar transactions to those consummated during 2006.

Due to several factors, including our history of losses and limited revenue, our former and current independent auditors have included an explanatory paragraph in opinions they have previously issued related to our annual financial statements as to the substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our long-term viability and growth will depend upon the successful commercialization of our technologies and our ability to obtain adequate financing. To the extent that we require such additional financing, no assurance can be given that any form of additional financing will be available on terms acceptable to us, that adequate financing will be obtained to meet our needs, or that such financing would not be dilutive to existing stockholders. If available financing is insufficient or unavailable or we fail to continue to generate meaningful revenue, we may be required to further reduce operating expenses, delay the expansion of operations, be unable to pursue merger or acquisition candidates, or continue as a going concern.

ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

An evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures” (as such term is defined in Rules 13(a)-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”))

33




was carried out by the Company under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”).

During the review of the Company’s operating results for the quarter ended June 30, 2007, our CEO and CFO determined that, as of that date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in providing reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.  Our management reached this conclusion after identifying our system to capture disclosure items, our internal process of review for account reconciliations, our documentation of internal controls and our internal process for preparing our quarterly report on Form 10-QSB for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2007 as being adequate to provide such assurance.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

No change in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2007 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Effective internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and effectively prevent fraud and to operate successfully as a public company. We have in the past discovered, and may in the future discover, areas of our disclosure and internal controls that need improvement. As of June 30, 2007, we believe we have addressed these issues, ensuring that our internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures have improved sufficiently for us provide reasonable assurance that the information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms. If, however, we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, our reputation and operating results would be harmed.

We cannot be certain that our efforts to remediate previous material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and the ineffectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures will continue to be successful or that we will be able to maintain adequate controls over our financial processes and reporting in the future. We have committed substantial resources, including substantial time from our management team’s accounting personnel and from external consultants, to implement and integrate into our organization improved disclosure controls and additional procedures generally and to improve systems to report financial information on a timely basis.

Any failure to maintain effective controls, or difficulties encountered in their implementation or in other effective improvement of our internal and disclosure controls could materially harm our operating results or cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations. If we are unable to adequately establish or improve our internal controls over financial reporting, or if we maintain an ineffective system of disclosure controls and procedures, our financial statements may not accurately reflect the financial condition of the Company, and current and potential future investors may not be able to rely upon our financial statements. Additionally, our external auditors may not be able to issue an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of our internal controls. Ineffective internal and disclosure controls could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, which would likely have a significant negative effect on the trading price of our securities.

Moreover, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls, even where we conclude the controls are operating effectively, can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, including instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls also is based

in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, our control systems, as we develop them, may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected and could be material to our financial statements.

The certifications of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer required in accordance with Rule 13a-14(a) under the Exchange Act and Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 are attached as exhibits to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB. The disclosures set forth in this Item 3 contain information concerning the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, and changes in internal control over financial reporting, referred to in paragraph 4 of the certifications. Those certifications should be read in conjunction with this Item 3 for a more complete understanding of the matters covered by the certifications.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 3.  DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES

With respect to the convertible notes issued in 2004 and 2005, the Company was required to make interest payments or issue registered shares in lieu of interest payments on a monthly basis.

Due to the previous defaults on Senior and Subordinated Notes held by the Company, obligations totaling $622,764 were accrued in prior periods. Effective April 18, 2007, the Company entered into an agreement with Laurus to satisfy these default interest obligations in full by issuing shares of the Company’s restricted common stock to Laurus. This agreement was subject to a condition that the Company would consummate a business transaction on or before May 18, 2007, or such later date as the parties agreed, which would raise sufficient proceeds to repay all of the Company’s obligations under the 2004 and 2005 Senior Notes.

As mentioned above, the Company disposed of the Fire Segment during the period. A portion of the proceeds were used to repay the balance of the 2004 and 2005 Notes. On May 22, 2007, in accordance with the agreement with Laurus, the Company converted the balance of the default interest payable into shares of restricted common stock.
