SAFLINK^® CORP. REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2003 FINANCIAL RESULTS

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

Revenue for the second quarter of 2003 was $167,000 compared to $597,000 in the first quarter of 2003 and $364,000 in the second quarter of 2002. The Company reported a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $3.4 million, or $0.13 per share, in the second quarter of 2003 compared to a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $2.0 million, or $0.09 per share, in the first quarter of 2003, and a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $1.6 million, or $0.12 per share, in the second quarter of 2002.

For the six months ended June 30, 2003, revenue was $764,000 compared to $560,000 in the first six months of 2002. The Company reported a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $5.4 million, or $0.22 per share compared to a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $8.0 million, or $0.68 per share, in the first six months of 2002.

“The second quarter was marked by our investment in our sales and distribution infrastructure that we believe will help to significantly improve our sales results in the coming quarters. During the second quarter we hired and trained a new direct sales team; signed up and trained the second largest Citrix distributor in the U.S.; became compliant with a key U.S. Food and Drug Administration regulation to allow us to pursue sales opportunities in the pharmaceutical industry and reached an agreement with a major PC manufacturer to provide our products to its customers. Building this infrastructure required a significant amount of effort and focus by management and our employees, but we believe it was a prudent investment in our future.” said Glenn Argenbright, SAFLINK’s President and Chief Executive Officer.

Argenbright continued, “We were able to make this investment while maintaining a healthy cash balance on our balance sheet of over $12 million. In addition to the increased traction we’re seeing in the healthcare vertical, we are optimistic about the sales initiatives we are engaged in at several leading pharmaceutical companies, as we continue to stay focused on the opportunities with the Department of Defense’s Common Access Card (CAC) program and the Transportation Security Administration’s TWIC initiative. We are also very pleased with our participation on the teams that recently won contract awards from the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) and the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA). We view these contract awards as encouraging signs that the Federal government is continuing its support for the adoption of biometric technologies.”

The Company will hold an earnings conference call 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).
