Saflink Corporation Reports Third Quarter 2005 Financial Results

BELLEVUE, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 14, 2005--Saflink(R) Corporation (NASDAQ:SFLK), a leading provider of biometric and smart card security solutions, today reported its financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2005.

Revenue for the third quarter of 2005 was $2.4 million, compared to $1.8 million for the second quarter of 2005 and $2.4 million for the third quarter of 2004. Saflink reported a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $26.1 million, or $0.30 per share, in the third quarter of 2005, which included non-cash impairment charges to goodwill of $19.3 million and intangible assets of $600,000. This is compared to a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $6.6 million, or $0.08 per share, in the second quarter of 2005, and a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $7.2 million, or $0.12 per share, in the third quarter of 2004.

Non-GAAP operating loss for the third quarter of 2005 was $5.5 million, which excludes certain non-cash charges such as amortization of intangible assets, impairments of goodwill and intangible assets and stock-based compensation expense. This is compared to a non-GAAP operating loss of $4.1 million for the third 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, "The third quarter was marked by our delivery on two large projects - the eastern state penitentiary system and Florida seaport initiatives, as well as the launch of our new product EntryPoint(TM). The product was well-received in the marketplace and we look forward to rolling out additional solutions in connection with EntryPoint and other developed technology in the next three to six months."

Argenbright continued, "We were also gratified to see further movement on some of the major Federal initiatives we've been pursuing, especially the Registered Traveler program, for which the roll-out timetable was clarified in recent weeks by the Transportation Security Administration."

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 of intangible assets, impairments of goodwill and 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.

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 of intangible assets, impairments of goodwill and 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.
