LG Stylus 2 Plus launched with IDEX
CardinalQtouchsensorDuringthefirsthalfof2016,IDEXmadeacommercialbreakthroughbysecuringa production-volume order for finger-print sensors to the LG Stylus 2 Plusmobiletelephone. The phone was launched in Junefeaturing IDEX's touch fingerprint sen-sorCardinalQ. IDEXisproudtohaveourfingerprintsensor featured in a global LG smart-phone.

Thisworld-firsttouchsensorforISOID-1 form factor cards is sampled toIDEX'songoingstrategicpartnershipwithaleadingglobalpaymentscompany. IDEX’s unique, flexible, low-costpolymer touch sensor is ideal for cardapplications given its ability to beintegrated into a thin and flexible ISOID-1formfactor,whileatthesametimeusing a secure low-resource algorithmto achieve high-quality image sensingandbiometricperformance.
Strengthened organisation with signi-

FingerprintSensorsIDEX‘s Eagle family of off-chip touchfingerprintsensorswascertifiedinJuneby the Fast IDentity Online (FIDO)Alliance. The formal FIDO certification ofIDEX's sensor follows extensive testingto ensure compliance and inter-operabilityamongvariousproductsandservices that comply to FIDO specifi-cations. ThecertificationoftheEaglesensorfamily underlines the company’s conti-nued commitment and contribution totheFIDOAlliance.Outlook
IDEX'sstrategyistodriveadoptionofitssensor technology across three massmarkets:mobile devices, ID and smartcards,andtheInternetofThings. IDEX is the only fingerprint sensormanufacturerinthemarketwiththeIP,knowhowandproductportfoliotoofferboth conventional silicon sensors (theCardinal product family) and next-generation polymer off-chip sensors(the Eagle product family) to leadingOEMs. TheCardinalsensorhasasmallformfactor and provides highly competitiveprice and performance characteristics.ThesensorhasbeenlaunchedintheLGStylo2Plusandhasbeendesignedintoseveral customer programs. The Eaglesensor has a unique cost andperformancepositionformedium-sizedsensors.Thesensorhasbeenshippedin

IDEX continues to developnew products demonstrated by thelaunchinApriloftheCardinalNsensortargetingmobileOEMs. IDEX expects these breakthroughsto generate more design wins andproductionordersinthesecondhalfof2016. CustomerevaluationsofIDEX’suniqueglass sensor solutionwill take place inthe second half of 2016. Industriali-sationofthecommercialsupplychainisin progresswith aim to enable volumeshipmentsbytheendof2016. IDEX’s strategic partnership with amajor global payments company isprogressing well, and IDEX is currentlyexpanding its production capability tosatisfy the anticipated demand. IDEXbelieves that its world-first polymertouch sensor for ISO-compliant cardswillgiveitaleadingpositionforfinger-print sensors in the cardmarket. Cardproducttrialsareexpectedtotakeplaceshortly, and the company expects toprogresstoconsumerpilotprogrammesduringthesecondhalfof2016.Thiswillpotentially lead to initial volumeshipmentslatein2016orearly2017.

Profitandlossstatements
IDEXearnedNOK17.7million revenue
fromsensordeliveriesinthefirsthalfof
2016 (Q2: NOK 14.1 million), up from
NOK0.1millioninthefirsthalfof2015.
This significant amount of revenue

the commercial stageof the company.
ThegrossmarginwasNOK3.0millionor
17 per cent in the first half. The gross
margins on the early-stage shipment
volumes are not representative for
futuremassvolumemargins.
Thetotaloperatingexpensesinthefirst
halfoftheyearamountedtoNOK98.1
million(Q2:NOK44.7million),upfrom
NOK 95.2 million in the first half of
2015.ThedepreciationoftheUSdollar
by 5 per cent in the first half has
reduced the costs when measured in
NOK.While researchanddevelopment
andotheroperatingexpensesincreased
compared to the sameperiod in2015,
payroll expenses were lower, due to
variation in the cost of share-based
remuneration. The underlying salary
cost increased because of increased
numberofemployees. IDEX is ramping
upitsoperationalcapacityacrossallkey
functions including product develop-
ment, supply chain, operations and
sales, in preparation for mass volume
deliveries.
The total payroll expenses were NOK
39.6 million in the first half (Q2: NOK
17.1 million), down from NOK 43.1
millioninthefirsthalfof2015(Q22015:
NOK17.7million).Theunderlyingsalary
costincreasedfromNOK29.5millionin
thefirsthalfof2015toNOK38.9million
in the first half of 2016 because of
increased number of employees. The
neteffectofshare-basedremuneration,
whichoftenvarysubstantiallybetween

period of 2015. The notional cost of

accruedemployer’stax,varieswiththe
shareprice.Therewasanetreversalof

R&D expenses amounted to NOK 46.3
million in the first half, compared to
NOK41.8millioninthefirsthalfof2015
(2H2015:NOK60.8million).Thesecond
quarter of 2016 was however lower
than the preceding quarter and also
lowerthanthegoingratein2015.R&D
expensesvaryaccordingtotheamount
of services and materials purchased
externally.
Otheroperatingexpenses,mainlysales
and marketing and general admin,
amounted to NOK 12.2 million in the
firsthalfof2016(Q2:NOK6.7million),
upfromNOK10.3millioninthefirsthalf
of 2015 (Q2 2015: NOK 4.9 million).
Most of the increase was related to
salesandmarketingactivities.
The total staff of employees and on-
going individual contractors was 74 at
30 June 2016, up from 66 one year
earlier and 70 at the end of the first
quarter2016. IDEXhad61employeesat
30June2016,and10technical/scientific

millionloss),comparedtoalossofNOK
98.4millioninthefirsthalfof2015(Q2
2015: NOK 49.6 million loss). The in-
crease inoperatingexpenseshasbeen
offset by the gross margin on ship-
ments.
Financialitemsamountedtoanetcostof
NOK 41 thousand in the first half (Q2:
net cost NOK 0.6 million). In the first
halfof2015, financial itemsamounted
to a net loss of NOK 0.6 million (Q2
2015:netgainNOK0.2million).Interest
incomeissmallduetothelowinterest
level.Thevariationbetweenperiods is
mainly caused by re-/devaluations of
the US dollar driving gain/loss on
receivables and debt denominated in
USdollars.
Because IDEX’s wholly-owned subsidi-
aries in the USA and UKmake profits,
there was a tax charge in an amount
ofNOK0.4millioninthefirsthalf.The
netresultfortheIDEXgroupinthefirst
half of 2016 was a loss amounting to
NOK99.5million. Inthecorresponding
periodof2015, thenet lossamounted
toNOK99.3million.
Profit or loss per basicweighted aver-
age number of shares amounted to a
loss of NOK 0.19 in the first half,
comparedtoNOK0.23pershareinthe

business.IDEXdoesnothaveanysignificant
assets or liabilities with financial risk. IDEX
does not hold financial instruments or
noteworthyfinancialassetsorliabilities,and
haslimitedfinancialrisksrelatedtocurrency
andinterestrates.
The company’s major long-term risk is its
business risk, meaning its ability to earn
revenue. This risk is difficult to assess, be-
causeuntilthesecondquarterof2016,IDEX
has earned only insignificant revenue from
itstechnology.Thecompany’sabilitytoearn
revenue depends on firstly, its ability to
developandmarketsuccessfulcomponents
which its partners will embed in their
products and systems, and secondly, the
company’s ability to legally protect its
intellectual property rights, and finally, to
maintainacompetitiveadvantage.
IDEX considers that its fingerprint sensor
technology has one of the best biometric
performances,andthatthefingerprintsen-
sorproductrangeoffersuniqueproperties.
The going concern assumption has been
appliedwhenpreparingthisinterimfinancial
report. IDEXdoesnotyetearna significant
amountofrecurringrevenue.Thecompany
does not have financial debt, and IDEX has
adequateliquidityandequityundercurrent

Under IFRS goodwill is not amortised but
impairment tested at each year end.
Acquired patents and other capitalised
intangible assets depreciate over the eco-
nomiclife.
IDEX’s own patents and other intellectual
propertyrightscreatedbyIDEXarenotheld
in the balance sheet because they do not
satisfy the criteria for capitalisation. Devel-
