SAFLINK ANNOUNCES NASDAQ DETERMINATION AND RESUMES TRADING

     SAFLINK Corporation announced today that, in a letter dated August 8, 2001,
the Company was notified that effective with the open of business on August 9,
2001, the Company's common stock would be delisted from the Nasdaq SmallCap
Stock Market. The Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel informed the Company that
the decision was based upon the Company's failure to meet the minimum bid price
and net tangible asset/shareholder equity requirements of the Nasdaq Marketplace
Rules. The Company is considering an appeal of this determination.

     The shares, which last traded on May 31, 2001, began trading on August 9,
2001, in the over the counter market under the ticker symbol (ESAF). The stock
is presently being quoted on the Pink Sheets inter-dealer quotation service. A
market maker has an application pending to quote the security on the OTC
Bulletin Board (OTCBB).
