German-based global technology giant incorporating Veritec software

MINNEAPOLIS -- Van Tran, CEO of Minneapolis-based Veritec, Inc., today announced that Siemens A&D, SC, based in Nuremberg-Moorenbrunn, Germany, has re-established a distribution agreement with Veritec and placed a significant order to purchase and license Veritec, Inc.'s VeriRead[TM] software that decodes images contained in VeriCode[R] symbols, as described in U.S. patent numbers 4,924,078; 5,331,176; 5,612,524 and 7,159,780 to be incorporated into Siemens' hardware products, including the Simatic VS 100 Series Machine Vision System.

"All of us at Veritec are delighted that Siemens has recognized our patented software to be of value to its customers and its product lines, and we're looking forward to a very long term and fruitful relationship for each organization", said Van Tran, Veritec's CEO.

VeriCode[R], the Veritec 2-D Matrix Symbol, has long been recognized in the automation manufacturing industry as the code of choice, specifically in the LCD/FPD, because of its robustness and its high error detection and correction (EDAC) capability.

ABOUT VERITEC, INC.

Founded in 1982, Veritec offers a patented line of microprocessor-based encoding and decoding system products that utilize Matrix Symbology[TM] or 2-Dimensional Barcode technology owned by Veritec's wholly-owned subsidiary, VCode Holdings, Inc.

Veritec's encoding and decoding systems allow users to create and apply unique identifiers to the products in the form of a coded symbol which enable automated manufacturing control, as well as identification, tracking and collection of data through cameras, readers and scanners also marketed by Veritec. The collected data is then stored in the 2-D barcode available for contemporaneous verification or other user-definable purposes.

In 2007, Veritec introduced its new "multi-purpose-all-in-one" card, named the VSCard. The VSCard has combined both a Visa debit card and an identity card to create a multi-functional ID card with unique banking and security capabilities. The VSCode, with unparalleled robustness, security features, and data storage capacity up to 4,000 bytes, stores the owner's fingerprint minutiae along with other critical personal information. The VSCode is placed on the back of the card along with a magnetic strip, a signature, and the name of the issuing bank. The front of the card has a picture ID and VISA logo.
