Background Note on Secure Design
On 14 July 2006, Secure Design was the first Japanese company to be admitted to
trading on AIM. It offers fingerprint authentication products to companies
and individuals that wish to establish high levels of security using biometrics.
Biometrics uses a physical attribute of the body, such as a fingerprint to
identify and verify the individual with the aim of making individual
authentication efficient and secure.
The Company offers a range of fingerprint authentication products and systems,
from an integrated system to a mobile device. The Company designs and outsources
the production of these products and can tailor them to individual client
specific needs and applications.
Biometric applications provide convenient and reliable security which reduces
the cost associated with the failure of conventional authentication methods. The
principal factor which distinguishes biometrics from conventional password based
authentication is the enhanced security level it provides while maintaining the
privacy of individual users.
The worldwide demand for biometrics is estimated to increase from just over $3
billion in 2007 to over $5.6 billion by 2010.*

Interim Results for six months ended 30 June 2009
Chairman's Statement
Following the appointment of Dr Hiroaki Kunieda as Chief Executive in February
this year, we have revised our business plan to reflect the financial situation
within the Company. Demand for the security needed to identify an individual is
increasing, especially in the fields of information security, financial
transactions, security systems and medical treatment. There is also increasing
interest in the use of fingerprint authentication on mobile phones and note PCs.
However, reasonable priced and secure solutions have not been available until
now. Our objective is to see that personal authentication is installed on all
small portable devices that are used in every day life. Therefore, we are always
exploring high quality, low cost solutions for volume applications. Our
technical team is headed by our Chief Technical Officer, Dr Dongju Li, who was
appointed a director on 10 February this year.
We plan to form a wholly owned subsidiary, based in China, with a view to
developing this market in cooperation with local Chinese companies. Through
these partners, we aim to provide low cost, high quality security systems, based
on fingerprint authentication, to information providers, banks, mobile phone
operators and door lock manufacturers. We are also looking at other
opportunities to use our leading edge technology in other sectors of this
important market.
Results
Turnover in the period was JPY 37.05 million (GBP232,247), which was 149.53%
higher compared to the results achieved in first half of 2008 when the Company
reported sales of JPY14.85 (GBP 93,075). The loss before tax decreased by 36.2%
to JPY 205.4 million (GBP1,287,370) compared to JPY 322.04 million
(GBP2,016,523). The loss per share improved by 58.4% to JPY 3.22 (0.02p)
compared to JPY 7.75 (0.049p) in first half of 2008.
Operating review
In the first six months of the year, we have focused on building a new business
model and investing in the R&D for the new algorithms required for the
applications that we are developing for mobile phones, banks and door locks.
Although we were not able to achieve our revenue targets for the period, our R&D
results have brought us powerful algorithms for future products. We are actively
looking to increase the sales of our products based on the new business model
while at the same time developing a range of innovative products for
international markets.
Operating expenses
Operating expenses in the period were JPY 129 million (GBP 808,157), which were
lower by JPY 111 million compared to those for the first half of 2008 mainly due
to the write off of bad debt by JPY 111.6 million (GBP525,339) posted in 2008.
Cash Balance
The cash balance at the end of the period was JPY 24 million (GBP153,238),
reflecting a fund raising of JPY 102 million in the period. The Company is
currently seeking to raise further funds during the second half of the year for
working capital and the continued development of the Company. The details of
which will be announced in due course.
Dividend
At this stage in the Company's development, the directors do not intend to
declare a dividend.
Accounts Receivables
The accounts receivables balance at the end of the period was JPY 38.3 million
(GBP503,540).
Employees
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all our employees for their
contributions. Their hard work, dedication and commitment which is much
appreciated. We depend upon them to take care of our customers, and they do so
in a positive manner. The company now has 11 employees, including directors.
Commercial Initiatives
* Business Model
The current model is based on utilising the fingerprint business with core
component technology such as software algorithms, sensors, engine LSI and
modules, which are the embedded systems for fingerprint authentication. Above
all, sensors are an important factor in our business and we believe that sensors
at low cost and high performance are needed to penetrate the world markets.
We will be able to use various kinds of sensor in addition to the Mitsumi
optical swipe sensor, which is used for NTT DoCoMo mobile phones. As a
distributor of Fingerprint Cards (FPC) sensors in Japan, we have developed a new
fingerprint module, with FPC area sensors, which has initially been well
received in the Chinese market.
Subject to further funding, we are planning to strengthen our R&D team to work
on our core component business, especially the module business, so that we can
develop new innovative components such as sensors, low cost processors and high
quality embedded algorithm and compact modules. In the current difficult
economic situation in Japan, we are moving ahead with the new business model by
using our technical skills and working closely with our partners.
Within our business model, we are focusing on the core components for
fingerprint authentication, which are based on our creative designs for LSIs and
embedded systems. We have started to strengthen all areas of the business so
that we can balance the development of our core components and integrated
modules including algorithms, chips and sensors which we can then provide to
specialist distributors in overseas markets.
* China Subsidiaries
We are planning to establish subsidiaries in China to act as sales centres for
our products which can then be distributed to related vendors throughout China.
The strength of our business is our technology and we believe that by working
alongside our Chinese sales partners we should be able to generate volume sales
in the Chinese market.
Module Business
Many information security applications require fingerprint modules
with different kinds of area sensors. As a growing sector worldwide, we aim to
focus on this growing market, particularly in China. The sensors of our partner
company, Fingerprint cards AB (FPC), located in Sweden, are highly rated for
their durableness against ESD (Electrostatic discharge) and physical damage. We
are working closely with FPC and we believe that our innovative technology will
enable us to market the new modules outside Japan. Sales promotion for this new
module has started and we have had initial positive feedback from some potential
customers.
Door Locks are a traditional application for the module business and we have
been working with the Japanese Lock Association and a major Chinese door lock
company to develop the best solution for high quality door locks at a
competitive price...
* Mobile Phone
The Mobile business is potentially our largest business opportunity. Our leading
edge technology in this area is the embedded fingerprint algorithm, which is
suitable for small portable devices. The technology is largely proven by its
acceptance by Sharp Corporation last year and by working with other sensor
suppliers we plan to make our phone technology available across international
markets.
The modules and the end products are particularly suitable for the Chinese
market, while the mobile or note PC solution is particularly suitable for the US
market. Based on alliances with world partners, we have confidence in expanding
our business in this sector.
* Notebook PC Business
Since notebook PCs are increasingly used for e-Commerce, there is a growing need
to make the notebook platform more secure.
Our technology can provide the secure hardware based solution to the notebook PC
customers together with low cost software and fingerprint sensors. In addition,
we can provide various types of swipe or area sensors from semiconductor to
optical ones. The solution can be customized to meet the demands of the vendors.
The core technology used in notebook PCs can be compatible with the solution to
smart phones, which will benefit both our customers and their end users.
Fingerprint Authentication Chip
Our fingerprint authentication chips are used in our modules which we have been
providing to OA makers (Fax Machines, Telecopiers etc.), such as Canon Inc., for
the last 3 years. This project was due to be expanded in the current year, but
orders have been effected by the global economic downturn. Nevertheless, there
has been a recovery in the orders for chips for OA equipment in the 4th quarter.
Our next aim is to produce a chip to meet the increasing demand for small low
cost modules to fit the reducing physical size of the printed circuit board.
Outlook
In order that the Company's trading performance will improve in the short to
medium term, we are implementing a business model using our existing engineering
and technology platform, focusing particularly on both core components and low
cost modules.
To achieve the commercial objectives stated above, the Company needs to secure
further funding and establish a robust balance sheet in the short term. Assuming
that we obtain sufficient funding, the directors expect that the Company will be
able to build upon its commercial relationships and that BgenuineTec has a
sustainable and profitable future.

Notes to the interim consolidated financial statements
1. General Information
This interim report was approved by the Directors on 24 September 2009. The
results for the both of current and comparative half year have not been audited,
but were the subject of an independent review carried out by independent
auditors, Chiyoda International CPA Office. Their review confirmed that the
figures were prepared using accounting policies and practices consistent with
those adopted in the 2008 annual report. The audited results for the year ended
31 December 2008 are an abridged version of the company's financial statements
which the predecessor auditor, Kainan Audit Corporation gave an unqualified
report.
2. Going concern
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management on the
bases of generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a "going
concern", which assumes the Company will continue in operation for the
foreseeable future and will be able to realise its assets and discharge its
liabilities in the normal course of operations.
The Company posted a continuing net loss of JPY 205,387 thousand
(GBP1,287,370) in the first half ended 30 June 2009, JPY 537,923 thousand in
December 2008, and JPY 648,959 thousand in December 2007. Net loss for this
period was mainly due to poor sales results of JPY 37,053 thousand (GBP232,247)
and losses on impairment loss on equity accounted investee of JPY 64,869 million
(GBP406,600).
These consolidated financial statements do not reflect adjustments that would be
necessary if the going concern assumption was not appropriate because management
believes that in the years ended 31 December 2009 the Company will still declare
loss of JPY 317 million and in 2010 will head for surplus of JPY 14 million and
the Company can successfully raise sufficient funds later this year to execute
the business plan. If the going concern assumption were not appropriate for the
consolidated financial statements, then an adjustment would be necessary to the
carrying values of the assets and liabilities, the reported revenues and
expenses and the balance sheet classification used.
3. Loss per share
Basic loss per share is calculated on loss for the period of JPY205,387 thousand
(GBP1,287,370) divided by 63,744,261 weighted average ordinary shares in the
period ended 30 June 2009 and loss for the period of JPY322,035 thousand
(GBP2,018,523) divided by 41,556,393 weighted average ordinary shares in the
period ended 30 June 2008.
There were no factors resulting in a delution of loss per share.
4. Dividend paid
No dividends were paid and approved for the period.
5. British pound sterling equivalent
The British pound sterling equivalents of the figures shown in these interim
consolidated financial statements are supplementary information and have been
translated at JPY159.54 to STG?1. Such translation should not be construed as
representation that the Japanese yen amounts represent, or have been or could be
converted into British pound at that or any other rate.
6. Impairment loss on investment in equity accounted investee
The Company recognised impairment loss on investment in Beyond LSI, Inc for JPY
64,869 thousand yen (?406,600) to its recoverable amount because of its poor
results and net asset value declines significantly.
