(OTCBB: SPCBF.OB; Euronext: SUP), a leading provider of smart card and electronic identification (e-ID) solutions, today announced that it has completed a $3.0 million private equity financing to US institutional and private investors. This investment was led by the Special Situation Funds, a leading micro-cap investment group which invested $2.5 million to become the Company’s largest investor. C.E.

Pursuant to the terms of the offering, the Company has issued 4,919,355 new shares at a price of $0.62 per share. Investors in the offering were also issued five-year warrants to purchase an additional 1,721,774 shares at an exercise price of $0.60 per share. The warrants are callable, subject to certain limitations, at the Company's option if the shares trade at $1.20 or higher for 20 trading days after the registration statement becomes effective.

Additionally, the Company is obligated to file a registration statement registering the shares, including the shares underlying the warrants, within 30 days after closing and to have such registration statement declared effective within 90 days after closing or the Company will be subject to certain penalties.

We believe the EZVend™ qualification that we announced in September, our successful April deployment of the world’s first municipal First Responder Disaster Site Management System, our growing number of pilot sites and field trials and the continually rising demand for e-ID solutions all position us for strong growth in 2006.”
