docsetc, I think Dr. Chandra has put himself in very difficult position. I imagine his new collaborators in Adnexus will become quite disenchanted with him once they learn about the potential legal baggage he is bringing to Adnexus.
I see no easy way out for him, now. In any resolution scenario, he will have misrepresented the facts to at least one or more parties at this stage.

BIO-key Expands Deployment with Province of British Columbia, Adds 10,000 Biometric Users for Sign-on and Physical Access Control
VANCOUVER, British Columbia and HOLMDEL, N.J., Sept. 23, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BIO-key® International, Inc. (NASDAQ: BKYI), an innovative provider of workforce and customer identity and access management (IAM) solutions featuring Identity-Bound Biometrics (IBB) for phoneless, tokenless, passwordless and phish-resistant authentication experiences, announced that its long-time customer, the province of British Columbia, has placed new orders with BIO-key. 10,000 users will be added to their existing deployment of WEB-key software, integrated with Broadcom’s SiteMinder infrastructure to streamline and strengthen access to a series of new applications via SAML 2.0 federation standards.
BIO-key has worked closely with the province’s cybersecurity team to integrate BIO-key’s state-of-the-art, cloud-enabled biometric authentication platform with its existing authentication infrastructure to deliver advanced and secure biometric access to systems, applications and facilities across the organization.
Since 2012, BIO-key’s secure biometric authentication platform has been integrated with the province’s authentication infrastructure to provide the strongest biometric ID without requiring phones or tokens. In 2017, the province expanded the platform to incorporate physical access control using the same fingerprint biometric for door access. This differentiated approach delivers secure sign in and streamlined access to facilities for users who roam among different workstations and locations without requiring added costs and risks of “what-you-have” token and card solutions that only verify that the card or token is present, not the user. BIO-key credentials derive from the individual themselves, so access cannot be shared, delegated, phished or forgotten.
Jim Sullivan, BIO-key’s SVP Strategy and Chief Legal Officer, said, “The British Columbia government has been a leader in providing secure biometric authentication with BIO-key solutions for more than a decade. They recognize that unique ‘roving user’ scenarios call for uncompromising yet user-friendly security. We are pleased to be the trusted provider of the highest level of security, by ensuring only the right user accesses the most sensitive information. BIO-key has a long history providing highly secure, robust and cost-efficient solutions in government, defense, finance, retail and other highly-regulated industries. Today, we are finding that BIO-key’s superior user experience, through phoneless, tokenless and passwordless solutions, translates very well to many enterprise use cases, particularly where we bring multi-factor authentication to roving workforces."

Wayne R, The targeted acquisition cost more than $4.2 billion, maybe….
docsetc, I would welcome any equitable involvement with Adnexus. If Adnexus is as promising as Dr. Chandra suggests in his posts on X, it should be enough to accommodate the ENZC shareholders.
docsetc, I’m behind any action like this… sounds like we need to get together and organized to proceed… let’s start the pressure now. Count me in…
jn, That’s possibly a good sign. When the volume goes crazy for one or two days for no apparent reason, that’s when we know news is coming.
docsetc, As always, I truly appreciate your efforts on providing updates and incite as this “soap opera” continues. Hopefully, Dr. Chandra’s new collaborators will allow him to do the right thing for the ENZC shareholders. GLTA!
docsetc, Well, that just sucks. I didn’t realize that Zhabilov had signed it over to him. Wonder what Harry got in return?
JT, I agree with you. That AI was developed using the financial resources of the Enzolytics corporation. Just because Dr. Chandra named it, doesn’t give him ownership. There needs to be some consideration to Enzolytics, or have the intellectual property returned. JMHO

Like I posted… Harry will continue to “f” things up until he is paid to go away….
I have been here for almost 20 years on this stock. Made a small profit, on a quick flip in the first year… decided to wait until the bottom to buy back in. Guess what… still looking for the bottom after numerous reverse splits… apparently, there is no bottom….
And… now we know why they pumped the price up….

Leading Government Defense Ministry Awards BIO-key $500K In Follow-On Orders for Biometric User Authentication
BIO-key credentials are the individual themselves, access cannot be shared, delegated, phished or forgotten.
HOLMDEL, N.J., Sept. 10, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BIO-key® International, Inc. (NASDAQ: BKYI), an innovative provider of workforce and customer identity and access management (IAM) solutions featuring Identity-Bound Biometrics (IBB) for phoneless, tokenless, passwordless and phish-resistant authentication experiences, announced that one of the world’s most respected government defense ministries has awarded BIO-key over $500K in new orders for BIO-key’s biometric user authentication solution pursuant to a three-year purchasing agreement.
The defense ministry continues to expand its deployment of BIO-key’s biometric authentication solution into new programs and user scenarios, delivering convenient phoneless, tokenless and passwordless authentication access to digital services for over 33,000 users. BIO-key expects additional awards in future periods as the defense ministry expands the use of its solution to additional defense ministry personnel.
BIO-key’s secure biometric authentication platform has been integrated with the ministry’s virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) capabilities to allow secure VDI-optimized biometric authentication without requiring phones or tokens. BIO-key has worked closely with the ministry’s cybersecurity team to integrate its state-of-the-art, cloud-enabled biometric authentication with the ministry’s authentication federation platform to deliver advanced, secure biometric access to systems and applications across organizational boundaries. Because BIO-key credentials are the individual themselves, access cannot be shared, delegated, phished or forgotten.
Jim Sullivan, BIO-key’s SVP Strategy and Chief Legal Officer, said, “BIO-key’s relationship with this innovative customer continues to expand, as does interest from the defense vertical in general. This is one of the most discriminating buyers of security technology worldwide. It is an honor to be trusted to provide the highest level of security possible by biometrically ensuring only the right user accesses the most sensitive information. BIO-key has a long history providing secure, robust solutions in government, defense, finance, retail and other highly-regulated industries, and we are finding that our superior user experience and cost-saving tokenless solution translates well to enterprise authentication."

BKYI stock touches 52-week low at $1.16 amid sharp annual decline
Bio-Key International Inc. (BKYI) stock has hit a 52-week low, trading at $1.16, as the company faces a challenging period marked by a significant decrease in its stock value over the past year. The technology firm, which specializes in biometric software and hardware solutions, has seen its shares plummet, reflecting an 87.98% decline over the one-year period. This steep drop has alarmed investors and raised concerns about the company's future performance and strategy in a competitive market. The 52-week low serves as a critical indicator of the market's current sentiment towards Bio-Key International, suggesting that the company may need to reassess its business model and growth prospects to regain investor confidence.
In other recent news, BIO-key International (NASDAQ:BKYI)'s Q2 2024 revenues showed a decline, falling to $1.1 million from $1.9 million in the same quarter the previous year. Despite this, the company's net loss improved to $1.7 million from $2.6 million in the previous year. The company attributed this revenue decline to delays in software license contracts and the non-renewal of a significant maintenance contract. However, BIO-key also highlighted growth in its PortalGuard franchise and the successful launch of its Passkey:YOU product.
In other recent developments, BIO-key shareholders approved the election of five board members and the ratification of its independent registered public accounting firm, Bush & Associates CPA LLC, for the upcoming fiscal year. The company is also expecting higher revenues in the second half of 2024, with a significant order from Europe worth $450,000 expected to be recognized in Q3. These are recent developments that demonstrate the company's resilience and potential for future growth.

As Bio-Key International Inc. (BKYI) navigates through its financial challenges, real-time data from InvestingPro offers a clearer picture of the company's current market standing. With a market capitalization of just $2.32 million, the company's valuation reflects the significant hurdles it faces.

InvestingPro Tips highlight two particularly concerning aspects for BKYI: the company's rapid cash burn and its inability to turn a profit over the last twelve months. These factors are critical for investors to consider as they evaluate the stock's potential for recovery. Moreover, with analysts expecting a sales decline in the current year and the stock's poor performance over various time frames – including a one-week total return of -9.02% and a staggering one-year total return of -87.72% – the outlook appears challenging.

$GME Q: Why would management pay a fee to terminate a huge credit facility?
A: To get rid of the investment and acquisition restrictions imposed by that credit facility. Imo, management has a “whale” of an acquisition on the line. Hang on to your shares! It’s just beginning to get fun here!!
Management didn’t terminate the $250M Credit Facility just because they have $4B in cash now. They did it to remove the related restrictions on acquisitions. Going after a “big fish”! This is getting exciting!!

Once again… too many “coins in the fountain”. There will be only one outcome of this debacle… that being ENZC will go back being just like ENZC prior to SAGA. The problem is that the Zhabilov’s will still be around until they are bought out.

BIO-key Reports Reduced Net Loss and Cash Used in Operations on Lower Q2’24 Revenues; Hosts Investor Call Thu. Aug. 15th at 10am ET
HOLMDEL, N.J., Aug. 14, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BIO-key® International, Inc. (Nasdaq: BKYI), an innovative provider of workforce and customer Identity and Access Management (IAM) solutions featuring passwordless, phoneless and token-less Identity-Bound Biometric (IBB) authentication, announced results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2024 (Q2’24). Note, BIO-key’s results for 2023 were restated at year-end and filed with the Company’s 2023 Form 10-K, and as a result Q2’23 and six months ended June 30, 2023 comparisons in this release have been restated. BIO-key will host an investor call Thursday, August 15th at 10:00am ET (details below).
Financial Highlights
Q2’24 revenues decreased to $1.1M from $1.9M in Q2’23, principally due to a delay in recognition of approximately $450,000 in software license fees generated by the Company’s European subsidiary and lower project-related services revenue of approximately $200,000 as compared to the year-ago period for one large customer.
Gross profit improved to $0.9M (77.0% gross margin) in Q2’24 vs. $0.3M (16.7% gross margin) in Q2’23, primarily reflecting the impact of a $1M hardware reserve in Q2’23.
BIO-key trimmed Q2’24 operating expenses by $0.2M versus Q2’23, reflecting ongoing cost management initiatives.
BIO-key reported a Q2’24 net loss of $1.7M compared to a Q2’23 net loss of $2.6M, primarily due to a $1M hardware reserve in Q2’23.
Cash used in operating activities improved 48% to $1.1M in the first six months of 2024 vs. $2.1M used in the first six months of 2023. Improved operating cash flow reflects the benefit of a Q1’24 $1.5M 2-year extension/expansion of a biometric technology license with a long-term financial services customer and continued reductions in S,G &A.
Recent Business Highlights
Williamsburg, VA advanced its Zero Trust initiative with BIO-key’s Identity-Bound Biometrics.
Los Angeles LGBT Center secured its IT Systems with BIO-key’s Seamless Badge-Tap Authentication Solution.
University of Iowa Hospital and Dayton Children’s Hospital) expanded their BIO-key deployments in Q2’24.
BIO-key introduced Passkey:YOU, a phish-resistant, phoneless and tokenless biometric FIDO Passkey Authentication Solution.
BIO-key won the Global InfoSec Award for Multi-factor Authentication at RSA Conference 2024.
Commentary
BIO-key CEO, Mike DePasquale commented, “Q2 was impacted by delays we experienced in the closing of approximately $450,000 in software license contracts and lower non-recurring, project-related services revenue of approximately $200,000 versus the year-ago period for one large customer in 2023.
“Despite our lower than expected revenues this quarter, we remain very encouraged by the growing enterprise awareness of the importance of implementing secure, zero-trust Identity and Access Management solutions which form the core of our offerings. We remain focused on driving revenue growth and progressing our business to profitability and positive cash flow over the next several quarters. We are working to support our Channel Alliance Partners around the globe while also working to progress larger-scale customer dialogues via our in-house direct sales efforts.
“We are also excited by the growth potential for our new Passkey:YOU solution which we believe provides a very powerful, differentiated solution within the rapidly expanding deployment of passkey solutions by some of the largest global companies. Unlike other solutions, BIO-key’s Passkey:YOU utilizes our industry leading biometric technology to deliver a unique passwordless and device-less authentication solution able to meet a broad range of needs, including some of the most challenging use cases.
“We continue to expect to benefit from the rollout and enforcement of increasingly stringent regulatory standards and cyber insurance underwriting requirements, much of which are now mandating multi-factor authentication or passwordless security solutions that BIO-key is well positioned to provide on a very competitive basis.
“Given our size, our performance will likely remain variable on a quarter to quarter and year over year basis, based on the impact and timing of customer contracts, though we remain confident in our ability to drive sequential growth on a full year basis. Importantly, we are building a growing base of high-margin annually recurring revenues (ARRs) with solid potential to expand as we move forward. We also continue to seek and implement cost reduction opportunities and identify potential strategic opportunities to leverage our core expertise to accelerate our path to profitability and positive cash flow. For these and other reasons, we believe BIO-key is well-positioned for the future.”
Financial Results
BIO-key reported Q2’24 revenues of $1.1M compared to $1.9M in Q2’23. The current-year period was negatively impacted by the delay in recognition of approximately $450,000 in software license fees generated by the Company’s European subsidiary and the year-ago period benefitted from approximately $200,000 of non-recurring services revenue for one large customer. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, revenues were $3.3M compared to $4.1M in 2023, principally due to the factors that impacted Q2’24 results.
Q2’24 Gross profit was $0.9M (77.0% gross margin) versus $0.3M (16.7% gross margin) in Q2’23, primarily reflecting the impact of a $1M hardware reserve in 2023 and higher gross margins from services in Q2’24.
BIO-key was able to reduce operating expenses by $0.2M in Q2’24 versus Q2’23, reflecting reductions in administration, sales personnel costs and marketing show expenses, including lower headquarters expense. Partially offsetting lower SG&A costs, was a $33,000 increase in research, development and engineering expense related to new product development.
Reflecting lower costs and the $1M hardware reserve in 2023, BIO-key’s net loss improved to $1.7M, or $1.00 per share, in Q2’24, from $2.6M, or $4.71 per share, in Q2’23. Likewise, BIO-key trimmed its net loss for the first six months of 2024 to $2.2M, or $1.33 per share, compared to a net loss of $4.3M, or $7.74 per share, in the first six months of 2023. Q2’23 results included a hardware reserve of $1M and the first six months of 2023 included a hardware reserve of $1.5M.
Balance Sheet
At June 30, 2024, BIO-key had current assets of approximately $3.0M, including $1.3M of cash and cash equivalents, $932,210 of net accounts receivable and due from factor, and $433,182 of inventory. This compares to current assets of approximately $2.6M, including $511,400 of cash equivalents, $1.3M of net accounts receivable and due from factor, and $445,740 of inventory, at December 31, 2023.

BIO-key Reports Reduced Net Loss and Cash Used in Operations on Lower Q2’24 Revenues; Hosts Investor Call Thu. Aug. 15th at 10am ET
HOLMDEL, N.J., Aug. 14, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BIO-key® International, Inc. (Nasdaq: BKYI), an innovative provider of workforce and customer Identity and Access Management (IAM) solutions featuring passwordless, phoneless and token-less Identity-Bound Biometric (IBB) authentication, announced results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2024 (Q2’24). Note, BIO-key’s results for 2023 were restated at year-end and filed with the Company’s 2023 Form 10-K, and as a result Q2’23 and six months ended June 30, 2023 comparisons in this release have been restated. BIO-key will host an investor call Thursday, August 15th at 10:00am ET (details below).
Financial Highlights
Q2’24 revenues decreased to $1.1M from $1.9M in Q2’23, principally due to a delay in recognition of approximately $450,000 in software license fees generated by the Company’s European subsidiary and lower project-related services revenue of approximately $200,000 as compared to the year-ago period for one large customer.
Gross profit improved to $0.9M (77.0% gross margin) in Q2’24 vs. $0.3M (16.7% gross margin) in Q2’23, primarily reflecting the impact of a $1M hardware reserve in Q2’23.
BIO-key trimmed Q2’24 operating expenses by $0.2M versus Q2’23, reflecting ongoing cost management initiatives.
BIO-key reported a Q2’24 net loss of $1.7M compared to a Q2’23 net loss of $2.6M, primarily due to a $1M hardware reserve in Q2’23.
Cash used in operating activities improved 48% to $1.1M in the first six months of 2024 vs. $2.1M used in the first six months of 2023. Improved operating cash flow reflects the benefit of a Q1’24 $1.5M 2-year extension/expansion of a biometric technology license with a long-term financial services customer and continued reductions in S,G &A.

BIO-key won the Global InfoSec Award for Multi-factor Authentication at RSA Conference 2024.
Commentary
BIO-key CEO, Mike DePasquale commented, “Q2 was impacted by delays we experienced in the closing of approximately $450,000 in software license contracts and lower non-recurring, project-related services revenue of approximately $200,000 versus the year-ago period for one large customer in 2023.
“Despite our lower than expected revenues this quarter, we remain very encouraged by the growing enterprise awareness of the importance of implementing secure, zero-trust Identity and Access Management solutions which form the core of our offerings. We remain focused on driving revenue growth and progressing our business to profitability and positive cash flow over the next several quarters. We are working to support our Channel Alliance Partners around the globe while also working to progress larger-scale customer dialogues via our in-house direct sales efforts.
“We are also excited by the growth potential for our new Passkey:YOU solution which we believe provides a very powerful, differentiated solution within the rapidly expanding deployment of passkey solutions by some of the largest global companies. Unlike other solutions, BIO-key’s Passkey:YOU utilizes our industry leading biometric technology to deliver a unique passwordless and device-less authentication solution able to meet a broad range of needs, including some of the most challenging use cases.
“We continue to expect to benefit from the rollout and enforcement of increasingly stringent regulatory standards and cyber insurance underwriting requirements, much of which are now mandating multi-factor authentication or passwordless security solutions that BIO-key is well positioned to provide on a very competitive basis.
“Given our size, our performance will likely remain variable on a quarter to quarter and year over year basis, based on the impact and timing of customer contracts, though we remain confident in our ability to drive sequential growth on a full year basis. Importantly, we are building a growing base of high-margin annually recurring revenues (ARRs) with solid potential to expand as we move forward. We also continue to seek and implement cost reduction opportunities and identify potential strategic opportunities to leverage our core expertise to accelerate our path to profitability and positive cash flow. For these and other reasons, we believe BIO-key is well-positioned for the future.”
Financial Results
BIO-key reported Q2’24 revenues of $1.1M compared to $1.9M in Q2’23. The current-year period was negatively impacted by the delay in recognition of approximately $450,000 in software license fees generated by the Company’s European subsidiary and the year-ago period benefitted from approximately $200,000 of non-recurring services revenue for one large customer. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, revenues were $3.3M compared to $4.1M in 2023, principally due to the factors that impacted Q2’24 results.
Q2’24 Gross profit was $0.9M (77.0% gross margin) versus $0.3M (16.7% gross margin) in Q2’23, primarily reflecting the impact of a $1M hardware reserve in 2023 and higher gross margins from services in Q2’24.
BIO-key was able to reduce operating expenses by $0.2M in Q2’24 versus Q2’23, reflecting reductions in administration, sales personnel costs and marketing show expenses, including lower headquarters expense. Partially offsetting lower SG&A costs, was a $33,000 increase in research, development and engineering expense related to new product development.
Reflecting lower costs and the $1M hardware reserve in 2023, BIO-key’s net loss improved to $1.7M, or $1.00 per share, in Q2’24, from $2.6M, or $4.71 per share, in Q2’23. Likewise, BIO-key trimmed its net loss for the first six months of 2024 to $2.2M, or $1.33 per share, compared to a net loss of $4.3M, or $7.74 per share, in the first six months of 2023. Q2’23 results included a hardware reserve of $1M and the first six months of 2023 included a hardware reserve of $1.5M.
Balance Sheet
At June 30, 2024, BIO-key had current assets of approximately $3.0M, including $1.3M of cash and cash equivalents, $932,210 of net accounts receivable and due from factor, and $433,182 of inventory. This compares to current assets of approximately $2.6M, including $511,400 of cash equivalents, $1.3M of net accounts receivable and due from factor, and $445,740 of inventory, at December 31, 2023.
