SmartMetric Overcomes Technological Hurdles to Encase Successfully a Biometric Fingerprint Scanner Inside a Credit Card, a Technological Breakthrough, Says the Company

SURFSIDE, FL -- (MARKET WIRE) -- March 16, 2007 -- SmartMetric, Inc. (PINKSHEETS : SMME ) -- The
Company has released its new website. SmartMetric is now moving from
Research & Development stage to product release and has updated its public
web site to reflect the company's new focus on sales and marketing.
It has been a long and very demanding process to bring the product to the
point of mass production, said the company President & CEO Mr. Colin
Hendrick at the SmartMetric R&D facility in Surfside, FL today. Having
created what the company believes is a world first technology has been
fraught with major technological hurdles that we are glad to report have
been overcome. Having micro components (150 active and passive) mounted on
a circuit board as thin as a piece of paper has made the company create
many new technological innovations. Using state-of-the-art and innovative
silicon mounting processes has enabled us to successfully meet these
component assembly challenges.
One of the final hurdles we had to overcome was encasing the micro
circuitry in credit card plastic. No standard card manufacturing process
existed that would allow for plastic encasing without damaging the internal
electronics. The company had to do substantial innovation and develop a
new card production process to encase the electronics inside a credit card
sized card.
In the coming weeks SmartMetric will be announcing to the market specific
details of its new SmartMetric line of in-card biometric products and the
many applications for these new world first fingerprint scanning cards.
