ObiexAn advanced technology company based in Geneseo, NY

Creates synthetic nano-scale DNA taggants* for counterfeit prevention within high-value industries

Mission: To lead the way in: Forensic security against counterfeiters Protect the reputation of businesses Mitigate financial losses Ensure the safety of consumers

Based upon research conducted by Dr. Anthony J. Macula at SUNY Geneseo; Funded in 2010 by the US Air Force and a $150K SBIR Phase I Grant

The Problem● Major corporations in U.S. and globally produce high value products

with the expectation that their products will get to their customers

● $1.7T WW entering sales and distribution channels

● $200 - 250B lost in U.S. annually, but even worseIn pharma, counterfeit meds lead to treatment failure in electronics, compromise national defense

● Counterfeiters put corporate reputations, and customer trust at risk

● New and improved methods to avoid detection● $74B in anti-counterfeiting measures ● Popular methods lack higher level forensic security

DNA taggants with tens of thousands of unique signatures can provide

this level of forensic security

• We have synthetic DNA anti-counterfeiting taggants

Quick Primer:

• DNA is composed of 4 subunits, or nucleotide bases: Adenine (A), Guanine (G), Cytosine (C), and Thymine (T)

• These subunits can be assembled (like building blocks) to create a single-strand of DNA, e.g., TGCAAT, CCAGTA, etc. with a unique sequence of bases, represented by a unique string of letters

Our solution: Dtags™

Adenine Guanine Cytosine Thymine

Page 5: Obiex Investor Presentation

Dtags™ on Paper

• We have created a software program (SynDCode) that uses o mathematical information and coding theoryo molecular biology and biomolecular thermodynamicso for “highly-intelligent sequencing”

• Nucleotides are selectively sequenced along a chain to meet specific criteria o no cross-hybridization, i.e., no unintended double-stranded DNA, o which could result in misreads, ando false “priming sites” when we create copies of these strands

• First mini-sequences are created, then they are assembled into longer chains

• The result is a collection of “molecular blueprints”, i.e., molecules on paper

Page 6: Obiex Investor Presentation

Dtags™ in Test Tubes• We then give these molecular blueprints to molecular biologists who

create a biological library of unique DNA strands, called “encoders”

• We again apply our understanding of math and biology to choose and physically mix a combination of these encoders to create a customized synthetic DNA taggant

• The “recipe” for each unique taggant is maintained on a high security computer and is assigned to a specific customer

• The taggants can be incorporated into various substances, e.g. ink, and used to write on a product

Taggant

• Note that if we have just 100 test tubes of encoders, we can create 1010 taggants, or 10 billion unique taggants

800 tubes gives us 1080 taggants or more than there are electrons in the universe!!

Authentication Services• In the event of a potential malicious act of counterfeiting, • Our customer sends a sample back to our lab • Using math and biological techniques, we can decode the sample• Verify its authenticity and send back a report

Intellectual Property

• Issued US patent 8,735,327 which protects our method of synthesizing DNA taggants using combinatorial mathematical algorithms to define the nucleotide sequences in the DNA strands

• Proprietary bioengineering software tool, SynDCode

• Additional patent applications pending for compositions and uses of the markers as forensic taggants
