Item 2 -- Identity and Background
Bramah Incorporated is in the process of being liquidated. In
connection with its liquidation, Bramah Incorporated transferred the
Digital Biometrics, Inc. ("DBI") securities it held as of March 18, 1997
to Bramah Limited, the parent of Bramah Incorporated, as a liquidating
distribution. Bramah Incorporated accordingly has no further interest in
any securities of DBI, and further references in this Amendment or any
subsequent amendment to "Reporting Persons" shall not include Bramah
Incorporated.
Item 5 -- Interest in Securities of the Issuer
The total number of shares beneficially owned by Mr. Bramah is
1,053,435, which number includes 1,052,935 shares held directly by Bramah
Limited and 500 shares of restricted stock held by Mr. Bramah, personally.
On the following dates, Bramah Incorporated sold in open market
transactions the number of shares of DBI stock set forth opposite each
such date:
Date Shares Sold
November 1, 1996 5,000
November 4, 1996 10,000
November 5, 1996 20,000
December 10, 1996 65,000
On March 18, 1997, Bramah Incorporated distributed 895,435 shares of
Common Stock to Bramah Limited as a liquidating distribution in connection
with its planned liquidation. With the 157,000 shares of Common Stock
previously held by Bramah Limited, the liquidating distribution brings
Bramah Limited's direct holdings in DBI to 1,052,935 shares of Common
Stock.
Under Rule 13d-3(a) of the General Rules and Regulations under the
Act, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to have shared power to vote and
dispose of the shares owned by the other Reporting Persons, and shares
owned by one Reporting Person may be deemed to be beneficially owned by
other Reporting Persons. Each Reporting Person otherwise expressly
disclaims beneficial ownership of any shares other than the shares held
directly by that Reporting Person. The aggregate number of shares held by
the Reporting Persons is 1,053,435 shares, representing, according to
information provided by DBI in its most recent filing on Form 10-K,
approximately 9.3% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.
Except as described above in Item 4 and this Item 5, to the best of
their knowledge, none of the Reporting Persons own any shares of Common
Stock or rights to acquire Common Stock and none of the Reporting Persons,
nor any of their respective executive officers, directors or majority-
owned subsidiaries, has effected any transactions in Common Stock during
the past sixty (60) days.
Signatures
After reasonable inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and belief,
I certify that the information set forth in this statement is true,
