NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

March 31, 2012(Unaudited)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed 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 of America, 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 Company’s financial position and the results of its operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The balance sheet at December 31, 2011 was derived from the audited financial statements, but does not include all of the disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These unaudited interim condensed 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-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 (the “Form 10-K”), filed on April 16, 2012.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standard if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

2. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCE MATTERS

We have incurred significant losses to date, and at March 31, 2012, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $52 million. In addition, broad commercial acceptance of our technology is critical to the Company’s success and ability to generate future revenues. At March 31, 2012, our total cash and cash equivalents were approximately $211,000, as compared to approximately $43,000 at December 31, 2011.

As discussed below, the Company has financed itself in the past through access to the capital markets by issuing secured and convertible debt securities, convertible preferred stock, common stock, and recently through factoring receivables. We currently require approximately $385,000 per month to conduct our operations, a monthly amount that we have been unable to achieve through revenue generation.

If the Company is unable to generate sufficient revenue to meet our goals, we will need to obtain additional third-party financing 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. 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 by the Company in order 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 of America, 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 financing requirements on a continuing basis, and become profitable in its future operations. The accompanying 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.

4. EARNINGS PER SHARE (“EPS”)

The Company’s basic EPS is calculated using net income 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.

The reconciliation of the numerator of the basic and diluted EPS calculations, due to the inclusion of preferred stock dividends and accretion was as follows for the following three month periods ended March 31, 2012 and 2011:

5. NOTE RECEIVABLE

As consideration for the Asset Sale of its Law Enforcement division (the “Business”) to InterAct911 Mobile Systems, Inc in 2009, the Buyer paid the Company an aggregate purchase price of approximately $11.3 million. The consideration consisted of cash payments totaling $7.3 million and the issuance of a promissory note (the “Note”) in the original principal amount of $4 million in favor of the Company. The Note earned interest, payable on a quarterly basis, at a rate per annum equal to six percent (6%) compounded annually on the principal sum from time to time outstanding.

Effective as of December 30, 2010, the Company entered into an Amendment and Waiver agreement (the “Amendment and Waiver”) with respect to the Note. Under the original terms of the Note, the initial scheduled repayment of principal, equal to $1,334,000, was due to be paid to the Company on December 8, 2010. Pursuant to the Amendment and Waiver, the Company agreed to defer $834,000 of this initial payment into three equal payments due over the course of the first three quarters of 2011, of which the first payment of $278,000 was received in April 2011.

In exchange for this deferral, the Buyer made a principal payment of $500,000 (received in December 2010), agreed to increase the interest rate on the deferred amount from six percent to twelve percent, and agreed to have the owner of the Parent, Silkroad Equity LLC, forfeit all of the 8,000,000 warrants previously granted to it by the Company.

Effective as of May 19, 2011, the Buyer exercised its option to prepay the balance due of $3,222,000 under the Note. In consideration for the early payment from the Buyer, the Company accepted a $150,000 discount on the principal amount due, of which $50,000 was effectively absorbed by the Secured Promissory Noteholders (see “Note 6 – Notes Payable”). The total amount received by the Company was $3,113,654 which included principal amount of $3,222,000, interest income of $30,888 and a reimbursement of legal fees incurred of $10,766 net of the discount of $150,000.

6. NOTES PAYABLE

The 2010 Exchange Agreement

Effective as of December 31, 2010, the Company entered into a Securities Exchange Agreement (the “2010 Exchange Agreement”) with the Shaar Fund, Ltd. (“Shaar”) and Thomas Colatosti (“Colatosti”). Pursuant to the 2010 Exchange Agreement, Shaar exchanged all of its outstanding shares of the Company’s Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, including all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon, and the 7% Convertible Promissory Note dated as of December 28, 2009 issued by the Company to Shaar in the original principal amount of $673,079 for an installment payment of $500,000 and a new non-convertible 7% Secured Promissory Note in the original principal amount of $3,157,759 (the “Shaar Note”). The installment payment was made in January 2011. Shaar also exchanged all of its existing warrants to purchase the Company’s common stock, exercisable for an aggregate of 5,108,333 shares, for a new five-year warrant to purchase up to an aggregate of 8,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.30 per share. In addition, pursuant to the 2010 Exchange Agreement, Mr. Colatosti agreed to exchange all of his outstanding shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, including all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon, and the 7% Convertible Promissory Note dated as of December 28, 2009 issued by the Company to Mr. Colatosti in the original principal amount of $64,878 for a new non-convertible 7% Secured Promissory Note in the original principal amount of $350,804 (the “Colatosti Note”).

Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, the Company made a cash payment to Shaar in the amount of $500,000 at the closing of the exchange and also paid approximately $125,209 to Shaar on January 31, 2011 in full satisfaction of the Company’s obligations to Shaar for all accrued and unpaid dividends with respect to the Company’s Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and Series C Convertible Preferred Stock formerly held by Shaar.

Effective as of May 20, 2011, the Company exercised its option to prepay the balance due of $3,157,759 owed to Shaar on its Secured Promissory Note. In consideration of the $150,000 discount granted by the Company for the early payment of the Note Receivable (see “Note 5 — Note Receivable”), the Company’s Secured Promissory Note holders agreed to effectively absorb $50,000 of the discount, with the remainder borne by the Company. The discount was prorated to both Note holders which reduced the Shaar payment by $45,624 and the principle amount owed on the Colatosti Note by $4,376. The total amount paid by the Company to Shaar was $3,192,421 and included principal of $3,157,759, interest of $80,286 less Shaar’s share of the discount described above.

The principal and interest under the Colatosti Note is scheduled to be repaid by the Company in cash on December 31, 2012. The Company’s obligations under the Colatosti Note is secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets. At both March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Colatosti note amounted to $346,428.

OVERVIEW

BIO-key International, Inc. (the “Company,” “BIO-key,” “we,” or “us) was founded in 1993 as a fingerprint biometric technology company. Biometric technology is the science of analyzing specific human characteristics which are unique to each individual in order to identify a specific person from a broader population.

Revenues

For the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, service revenues included approximately $173,000 and $142,000, respectively, of recurring maintenance and support revenue, and approximately $223,000 and $16,000, respectively, of non-recurring custom services revenue. Recurring service revenue increased 22% from 2011 to 2012 as the Company continued to bundle maintenance agreements to its expanding customer license base, and renewed existing maintenance agreements from its legacy customers.

For the three months ended March 31, 2012, license and other revenue (comprised of third party hardware and royalty) decreased as a result of several contributing factors. Core software license revenue decreased by approximately $180,000 (16%), primarily as a result of large orders from two new customers that represented only 61% compared to a single new customer that represented 71% of total revenue, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, we received purchase orders from McKesson for their continued deployment of our identification technology in their AccuDose® product line, and for continued expansion of biometric ID deployments with commercial partners ChoicePoint /Nexis Lexis, Educational Biometric Technology, and Identimetrics. Third-party hardware sales decreased by approximately $49,000 (40%), primarily as a result of a delay in shipments from one of the hardware manufacturers. The Company’s royalty income for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was derived primarily from an OEM agreement, and resulted in a 12% decrease in revenue from approximately $29,000 to approximately $25,000.

Table of Contents

Costs of goods sold

For the three months ended March 31, 2012, cost of service increased approximately $89,000 as a result of costs associated with non-recurring custom services revenue, offset by decreases in license and other of approximately $23,000 for third party hardware and third party license costs.

The Company expects to incur approximately $25,000 in interest expense from its Secured Note until the end of 2012, at which point the Note is expected to be paid in full.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Net cash provided by operations during the three months ended March 31, 2012 was approximately $168,000. The cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to the following items:

· Positive cash flows related to an decrease in accounts receivable of approximately $100,000, due to two large orders received and paid for in the first quarter; and

· Negative cash flows from a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses of approximately $255,000, attributable to working capital management and a decrease of approximately $66,000 in deferred revenue, due to an expansion of the supported license base for maintenance renewals.

· The Company recorded approximately $21,000 of charges during the first quarter of 2011 for the expense of issuing options to employees for services.

There were no cash flows under investing or financing activities during the period.

The Company has a reserve for bad debts of $386,000 which represents 50% of the remaining balance owed under a contract for payments that are behind schedule.

Net working deficit at March 31, 2012 was approximately $797,000 as compared to approximately $1,539,000 at December 31, 2011. The improvement was driven mainly by the operational profits generated in the first quarter of 2012.

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

As of December 2011, the Company entered into a 24-month accounts receivable factoring arrangement with a financial institution (the “Factor”). Pursuant to the terms of this arrangement, BIO-key, from time to time shall sell to the Factor certain of its accounts receivable balances on a non-recourse basis for credit approved accounts. The Factor shall then remit 75% of the accounts receivable balance to BIO-key (the “Advance Amount”), with the remaining balance, less fees to be forwarded to the Company once the Factor collects the full accounts receivable balance from the customer. Factoring fees range from 2.75% to 15% of the face value of the invoice factored and are determined by the number of days required for collection of the invoice. BIO-key expects to use this factoring arrangement periodically to assist with its general working capital requirements.

Liquidity outlook

At March 31, 2012, our total cash and cash equivalents were approximately $211,000, as compared to approximately $43,000 at December 31, 2011.

As discussed above, the Company has financed itself in the past through access to the capital markets by issuing secured and convertible debt securities, convertible preferred stock, common stock, and recently through factoring receivables. We currently require approximately $385,000 per month to conduct our operations, a monthly amount that we have been unable to consistantly achieve through revenue generation. During the first quarter of 2012, we generated approximately $1,410,000 of revenue, which exceeds our average monthly requirements

The balance of the Company’s Secured Notes of approximately $346,000 will be due and payable to the holder together with all accumulated and unpaid interest on December 31, 2012.

If we are unable to generate sufficient revenue to meet our goals, we will need to obtain additional third-party financing 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 may 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 the 2009 to 2010 period.

Due to several factors, including our history of losses and limited revenue, our independent auditors have included an explanatory paragraph in their opinion 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 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2012. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2012, our CEO and CFO concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

No change in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2012, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
