Saflink Corporation Reports Second Quarter 2006 Financial Results


KIRKLAND, WA – (August 8, 2006) – Saflink® Corporation (NASDAQ: SFLK), a leading provider of solutions that verify identity, secure access and increase productivity, today reported its financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2006.

Revenue for the second quarter of 2006 was $944,000, compared to $857,000 for the first quarter of 2006 and $1.8 million for the second quarter of 2005. Saflink reported a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $37.7 million, or $0.43 per share, in the second quarter of 2006, which included a non-cash impairment loss on goodwill of $30.7 million. This is compared to a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $36.8 million, or $0.42 per share, in the first quarter of 2006, which included a non-cash impairment loss on goodwill of $29.7 million, and a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $6.6 million, or $0.08 per share, in the second quarter of 2005.

Non-GAAP operating loss for the second quarter of 2006 was $5.7 million, which excludes certain non-cash charges such as amortization of intangible assets, impairments of goodwill and intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense, and non-cash interest expense.  This is compared to a non-GAAP operating loss of $5.5 million for the second quarter of 2005.  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 attributable to common stockholders to reported GAAP operating loss and net loss attributable to common stockholders is provided below.

Glenn Argenbright, President and CEO of Saflink commented, “During the second quarter, we continued to place a lot of emphasis and focus on our Registered Traveler (RT) solution and marketing to prospective RT airports.  We competed for the first RT operational pilot at the Denver International Airport (DIA) and are awaiting their decision.  We expect to aggressively market our Fast Lane Option (FLO) card to consumers, in and around Denver, once the DIA initiative moves forward.”

Argenbright continued, “We are also mobilizing the FLO Alliance team to respond quickly to the 3 to 4 requests for proposals that are expected to be issued from major airports in the late August to early September timeframe.  We believe the RT opportunity is very compelling and could grow into a substantial market in the coming months, and we feel our unique team and solution are resonating with airport personnel.  As a result, we expect RT activities to continue to dominate much of our efforts in the near term.”

Saflink will hold a conference call to discuss financial results today at 5:00 PM EDT. Saflink may provide forward-looking information on this call. To listen to the conference, please call 1-888-459-5609, domestically, or 973-321-1024, internationally. A recording of the call will be available on the Investors page of the Saflink website for 30 days after the call.

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.
