Saflink Corporation Reports Second Quarter 2005 Financial Results

BELLEVUE , WA – (August 11, 2005) – Saflink ® Corporation (NASDAQ: SFLK), a leading provider of biometric and smart card security solutions, today reported its financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2005.

Revenue for the second quarter of 2005 was $1.8 million, compared to $2.2 million for the first quarter of 2005 and $918,000 for the second quarter of 2004. Saflink reported a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $6.6 million, or $0.08 per share, in the second quarter of 2005. This is compared to a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $6.8 million, or $0.09 per share, in the first quarter of 2005, and a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $2.4 million, or $0.07 per share, in the second quarter of 2004.

Non-GAAP operating loss for the second quarter of 2005 was $5.5 million, which excludes certain non-cash charges such as the amortization or impairment of intangible assets and stock-based compensation expense. This is compared to a non-GAAP operating loss of $3.1 million for the second quarter of 2004. Saflink believes that supplementary non-GAAP measures for operating results enhance an investor’s overall understanding of the financial performance of Saflink by reconciling more closely the actual cash expenses of Saflink in its operations, as well as excluding expenses that, in management’s view, are unrelated to the core operations of Saflink. A reconciliation of non-GAAP operating loss and non-GAAP net loss to reported GAAP operating loss and net loss is provided below.

Glenn Argenbright , President and CEO of Saflink commented, “We believe t he second quarter highlighted the validation of Saflink’s past TWIC successes. During the quarter, we initiated our first deliveries to the state of Florida and advanced our joint work with Microsoft on multiple fronts. This included joint development and customer contact in wireless security and on the Registered Traveler initiative, as well as working together to attract Microsoft resellers as part of our channel launch targeted to the small and medium-sized business market.”

Argenbright continued, “We continue to believe that we have built the appropriate suite of products and solutions to serve the needs of public sector and commercial customers in the coming months, as the demand for trusted authentication solutions grows. We continually receive validation for this view from potential customers, partners, and industry experts.”

     Statement Regarding Non-GAAP Disclosures:

     To supplement the financial information that is presented in accordance
     U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), we present certain
     financial measures that exclude certain non-cash charges, including
     charges related to acquisitions such as amortization and impairment of
     intangible assets and stock-based compensation expense which would
     otherwise be required by GAAP.  We believe that these non-GAAP measures
     facilitate evaluation by management and investors of our ongoing
     operating business and enhance overall understanding of our financial
     performance by reconciling more closely our actual cash expenses in
     operations as well as excluding expenses that in management's view are
     unrelated to our core operations, the inclusion of which may make it more
     difficult for investors to compare our results from period to period.

     Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from,
     as a substitute for, or superior to, financial information presented in
     compliance with GAAP, and non-GAAP financial measures we report may not
     be comparable to similarly titled items reported by other companies.
