Consequently, it is crucial to fund our working capital needs, in a controlled manner, to ensure we are prepared to meet anticipated demand for our products.” Mike DePasquale, CEO, BIO-key said. “We are extraordinarily pleased that our existing shareholders continue to demonstrate their interest and commitment by investing in the company at this important time.”
