US Government Test Reaffirms Excellent Operational Performance of Cognitec's Face Recognition Platform

Cognitec Systems today announced that the results of the Face
Recognition Vendor Test (FRVT) 2006, a large scale independent
evaluation test of face recognition systems conducted by the U.S.
National Institute of Standards and Technology, first published on
March 30, 2007, confirmed the outstanding performance of the Company's
face recognition technology.

The primary goal of FRVT 2006 was to measure progress of prototype
systems/algorithms and commercial face recognition systems since a
similar test conducted in 2002.

Of 22 companies and research institutes that participated in FRVT
2006, only Cognitec and 10 participants could complete the large-scale
tests, and only Cognitec and one other company could deliver
measurements in four different test scenarios for still images and
2D/3D data.

Test results for FRVT 2006 also demonstrated that Cognitec
exceeded the goal specified by the Face Recognition Grand Challenge,
which was to evidence increased recognition performance by an order of
magnitude as compared to results measured during FRVT 2002. Similar to
the 2002 test results, Cognitec again delivered top performance in the
majority of the tests, especially in the more challenging tests that
reflect common real-world scenarios.

While numerous performance assessments were made in FRVT 2006,
including assessments involving datasets containing high resolution
imagery, by far the largest dataset used pertained to low resolution
imagery. Such low resolution dataset is more representative of today's
commercially available large-scale face recognition applications, such
as those used in search applications within large passport or driver's
license photo databases. Within this low resolution dataset, FRVT 2006
test results clearly pointed to the superior operational performance
of Cognitec's system by demonstrating that the Company's system had
the lowest false rejection rate for the lowest false acceptance rate.
These results undoubtedly represent a marked, sizable improvement over
the already best-in-class results attained by the Company's systems in
2002.

"We are very satisfied with the results achieved by our Company's
technology in FRVT 2006," commented Alfredo Herrera, Cognitec's
Managing Director. "These results further validate our robust
technology and leadership position within the face recognition market,
as well as demonstrate our capability to deliver superior products
through world-class R&D capabilities. Moreover, we remain committed to
maintaining our technological leadership position to ascertain that we
continually meet the ever-changing needs and operational challenges of
our growing customer base through innovative and best-in-class face
recognition solutions."

Subsequent to January 2006, the algorithm submission cut-off date
for FRVT 2006 purposes, the Company has further enhanced the already
robust operational performance of its existing systems through
measured and focused R&D efforts. Specifically, Cognitec's latest
search engine, currently available to customers through certain of the
Company's products, exhibits considerably enhanced performance
relative to strong lighting variations over the Company's search
engine tested through FRVT 2006.
