SAFLINK^® REPORTS FIRST QUARTER FINANCIAL RESULTS

Revenue for the quarter up 205% over prior year quarter

BELLEVUE, WA – (May 14, 2003) – SAFLINK^® Corporation (NASDAQ: SFLK), a leading developer, marketer, and integrator of biometric security solutions, today reported its financial results for the first quarter of 2003.

Revenue for the first quarter of 2003 was $597,000, compared to $196,000 in the first quarter of 2002, an increase of 205%. The Company reported a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $2.0 million, or $0.09 per share, in the first quarter of 2003 compared to a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $6.4 million, or $0.61 per share, in the first quarter of 2002.

“I am very pleased with the progress we made on the operational and financial fronts during the first quarter. We added several members to our sales team who have extensive experience in biometric software sales, expanded our relationships with key industry partners such as Microsoft and Citrix, and solidified our balance sheet by raising $9.7 million through warrant exercises,” said Glenn Argenbright, SAFLINK’s President and Chief Executive Officer.

Argenbright added, “We also made real progress with several large government opportunities, such as the Department of Defense’s Common Access Card (CAC) program and the Transportation Security Administration’s (TSA) Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC) initiative. Our work on these projects and our proven ability to deliver scalable solutions has led to burgeoning relationships with other contractors pursuing these and other enterprise opportunities in the government and commercial sectors. And thanks in great part to the hard work of our dedicated employees, our common stock was relisted on the NASDAQ SmallCap Market and began trading there in late April.”

The Company will hold a conference call to discuss financial results today at 5:00 PM EDT. The Company may provide forward-looking information on this call. To listen to the conference, please call 1-800-992-7413 (international callers dial +1-801-303-7424). A recording of the call will be available on the Investors page of the Company’s web site for ten days after the call.
