Identix Receives $900,000 in Purchase Orders from Pennsylvania Chiefs of Police Association.

MINNETONKA, Minn. -- New Orders for Identix TouchPrint Enhanced Definition Live Scan Systems Placed Under Previously Announced Statewide Blanket Purchase Agreement

Identix Incorporated (Nasdaq:IDNX), the world's leading multi-biometrics security technology company, announced that it has received new purchase orders from the Pennsylvania Chiefs of Police Association (PCPA) to provide its line of Identix(R) TouchPrint(TM) Enhanced Definition 3000 Series Live Scan Systems to continue Pennsylvania's roll-out of new technology to law enforcement agencies throughout the state. These systems, which include Identix' TouchPrint Enhanced Definition 3800 Full-Hand Live Scan Booking Stations and TouchPrint Enhanced Definition 3000 desktop Systems, are being deployed to replace legacy live scan systems with the latest developments in live scan technology. The purchase orders, which have an aggregate value of approximately $900,000, were placed under the previously announced statewide Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) awarded to Identix in December 2003. The BPA initially had a one-year term, with two additional one-year options that may be exercised by mutual agreement of Identix and PCPA. In September 2004, PCPA and Identix agreed to exercise the first year option, extending the BPA through August 2005.

The live scan systems under the purchase orders announced today are expected to ship and be installed over the course of the Company's fiscal 2005 fourth quarter and fiscal 2006 first quarter ending June 30, 2005 and September 31, 2005, respectively. Including these orders, Pennsylvania agencies have placed orders with an aggregate value in excess of $4.4 million for Identix' line of live scan systems over the past nine months.

Identix President & CEO Dr. Joseph J. Atick commented, "Pennsylvania has been diligently upgrading and expanding the reach of its statewide live scan network with our latest technology. The addition of Identix' full hand imaging capability, coupled with the advances in the quality of the images captured by our new Enhanced Definition systems, enables law enforcement agencies throughout the State to collect and store significantly more information for searching and building databases. We believe the improved performance of our Enhanced Definition systems over standard definition systems will enhance officer efficiency and effectiveness, ultimately resulting in more hits of image submissions against the State's AFIS. We appreciate Pennsylvania's commitment to keeping its law enforcement agencies equipped with leading-edge technological tools and are extremely proud to be a continuing and integral part of its Statewide biometric data sharing network."

Identix TouchPrint Enhanced Definition 3000 Series

The TouchPrint Enhanced Definition 3000 Series exceeds the FBI Appendix F standard by providing 3.5 times the pixel density and 300 percent more contrast, resulting in images that have far more fine ridge detail than dictated by the Appendix F requirements. The TouchPrint Enhanced Definition 3000 Series employs technologies that take into account subjects with different size fingers and skin colors, sweaty fingers and users rolling fingers at different speeds. The systems produce clear, crisp fingerprint images with virtually no distortion or false minutiae that can be caused by smudging and smearing. TouchPrint Enhanced Definition 3000 Series systems are designed to maintain consistent image quality over time, and with no moving parts in the optics deck and no silicon pads or coatings to change, they provide maximum reliability and minimal downtime, lowering the total overall cost of ownership.

The TouchPrint Enhanced Definition 3000 Live Scan Series is comprised of rugged and stylized terminals for roll and slap fingerprint capture that can be integrated with software for a complete fingerprinting system in either desktop or transportable configurations, as well as standalone booking stations designed to withstand heavy traffic and harsh environments.

The TouchPrint 3800 employs a proprietary cylindrical imager that enables the full hand - including the carpal crease, cup of the palm, and fingertips - to be captured in a single, intuitive step. There is no 'stitching together' of partial palm and finger images, which can result in images being associated with the wrong record. Proprietary optics capture resolution enhances image quality, giving operators optimal ridge detail information that can be used to help solve more crimes. Users of the TouchPrint 3800 have attested to the systems' ease of use, high image quality and reliability.
