Industry = Software

Press Release Summary = BioLink Solutions announces the implementation phase of the
project for the Department of Sales Tax of India. BioLink's biometric solution based
on its proprietary cutting-edge technologies is being integrated into the renewed IT
infrastructure of the Department and over 200 BioLink scanners are being deployed to
identify the Department employees.

Press Release Body = The Department of Sales Tax of India (DST) is updating its
procedures, applications and IT infrastructure to facilitate implementation of Value
Added Tax (VAT) which replaces sales tax structure prevalent in Delhi, intends to
harmonise tax structure of various Indian states and rationalise the overall tax
burden. The renewed IT infrastructure will host the custom development VAT
application.

Within the framework of the project covering the supply, installation,
commissioning, management and maintenance of the complete IT infrastructure, BioLink
was selected to provide its integration software kit (BioLink SDK) and 210 U-Match
MatchBooks v.3.5 for the security component of the system. The choice for the
reliable fingerprint biometric solution is obvious considering the criticality of
the application.

The total DST project covers the provision, deployment and maintenance of the IT
infrastructure in 4 remote offices and 10 check posts at various locations in Delhi.
The remote offices with approximately 50 users each act as front offices for
collection of forms for registration, returns, refunds, appeals, objection, issuance
of acknowledgement receipts, scanning of documents and data entry. The current scope
of the project is to set up the front office with about 50 users at the sales tax
office and provide the appropriate infrastructure to host the central database and
application of the department that conducts all the relevant business processes. The
solution is scalable to meet the future requirements of the department expected to
involve about 1 200 users.

Through its key partner in India - Logistic Solutions Inc.- BioLink delivered its
products to identify DST employees logging on to the operating system (Microsoft
Windows 95/98, 2000 and above) and VAT application modules: Tax Administration
Modules (core business areas, registration, returns processing, assessment/audit,
tax collection, recovery) and Automation Modules (office administration, personnel
information system, payroll, pension, audit, budget monitoring, inventory and asset
monitoring). BioLink SDK is being used as a tool for integration with the VAT
application, authenticated access to which is granted according to the predefined
authorization levels. The biometric solution provided is being integrated with the
domain login and PDC server for authentication.

The biometric solution to be embedded into the document management system will allow
significantly increasing the overall security, which is of prime importance to DST
as the data centre hosts important application, database and authentication servers.
The two-level biometric protection of access to the operating system and VAT
application will prevent misuse of confidential financial information by way of
fingerprinting the Department employees.
