    Background Note on Secure Design

    On 14 July 2006, Secure Design was the first Japanese company to be admitted to trading on AIM. It offers fingerprint authentication
products to companies and individuals that wish to establish high levels of security using biometrics. Biometrics uses a physical attribute
of the body, such as a fingerprint to identify and verify the individual with the aim of making individual authentication efficient and
secure.

    The Company offers a range of fingerprint authentication products and systems, from an integrated system to a mobile device. The Company
designs and outsources the production of these products and can tailor them to individual client specific needs and applications.

    Biometric applications provide convenient and reliable security which reduces the cost associated with the failure of conventional
authentication methods. The principal factor which distinguishes biometrics from conventional password based authentication is the enhanced
security level it provides while maintaining the privacy of individual users.
