IQ Biometrix Faces Division Secures $100K Contract; Joint Initiative Targets Growing Forensics Education Market

FREMONT, Calif. - IQ Biometrix Inc. (OTCBB:IQBM), a worldwide provider of integrated law enforcement and security solutions, announced today that it has received a $100,000 order from Ward's Natural Science, a division of VWR International, a worldwide distributor of scientific equipment, supplies, chemicals and equipment to industrial, government, life science, education, electronics and pharmaceutical markets.

The contract launches a joint initiative to develop forensic kits based on FACES EDU technology, designed for the education industry. The products will be marketed and sold through Ward’s sales channels including an existing client base of more than 1,400,000 teachers.

"We believe this partnership with one of the nation’s leading school science resource distributors will enable us to rapidly extend IQBM's technology into the educational market," said William Scigliano, CEO and President of IQ Biometrix. "With the growing interest in using forensics to teach basic science principles and to prepare for careers in crime scene investigation, we view this market as a significant opportunity."

"The initiative builds on Ward's deep educational expertise and client base, and IQBM's broad law enforcement experience and credibility, to provide authentic, advanced forensic technologies and resources to science teachers across the U.S.," said Jeff Douglass, President of Ward's Natural Science. "The unique language capabilities of FACES technology will facilitate a worldwide rollout of the products through Ward's international distributors covering more than 48 countries."

"We believe the Ward's initiative demonstrates the development of FACES technologies and applications that will continue to strengthen as we move forward with the merger of IQBM and Wherify Wireless," said William Scigliano. "Education is also a market that we believe can be tapped for Wherify's GPS location products and services following consummation of our anticipated merger."

As previously disclosed, IQBM has entered into a definitive agreement and plan of merger with Wherify Wireless Inc. of Redwood California, a leading provider of Aided-GPS location products and services.
