Sequiam Biometrics (fka SQUM)

[analystslie]

The greatest growth we are seeing is in China right now and the reason for that is that China has no real incumbent security technology -- similar to South Korea where -- if you take an example like telecommunications, they went from having no access to full access. In China, with this tremendous migration of three hundred million plus people from the agricultural regions to the lowlands and the industrial regions -- what is happening is that China is building an infrastructure that is very sophisticated and they have really embraced Biometrics. Our subsidiary in China, which is called New Era Biometrics, is already one of the largest Biometric companies in China and we are partnered with the largest IT company in China, a corporation named CJCC and we are seeing a market growing at an absolutely staggering pace. We are making applications in China and to mention one specific example -- it is the ability to verify yourself on any credit card and ATM transaction biometrically. Now that is something that in the United States is starting to take off slowly -- it is getting some exposure now. We actually have tried to introduce that system as early as 5 years ago as a concept to verify credit card transactions but in China there is no resistance at all. So we are working with the largest bank in China on creating a pilot project in the first quarter of 2007 to do exactly that. In addition we are working on health care products that are Biometric, we are working on telecommunications projects that are Biometric. So in my opinion China will have the largest growth. That not withstanding, America, of course, is growing very rapidly also and I think, because of these alliances we have with Black & Decker and Arrow Electronics and ADI we are going to see our market growing very rapidly in the US also and we will have tremendous awareness of our brand name in 2007.
