Exhibit 99.1

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

SAFLINK CORPORATION REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2006 FINANCIAL RESULTS

BELLEVUE, WA – (May 10, 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 first quarter ending March 31, 2006.

Revenue for the first quarter of 2006 was $857,000, compared to $768,000 for the fourth quarter of 2005, and $2.2 million for the first quarter of 2005. Saflink reported a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $36.8 million, or $0.42 per share, for the first quarter of 2006, which included non-cash charges of $29.7 million related to the impairment of goodwill and $509,000 for the modification of outstanding warrants. This is compared to a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $7.6 million, or $0.09 per share, for the fourth quarter of 2005 and a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $6.8 million, or $0.09 per share, for the first quarter of 2005, which included a $900,000 non-cash charge related to the impairment of intangible assets.

Non-GAAP operating loss for the first quarter of 2006 was $5.6 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 loss is compared to a non-GAAP operating loss of $5.3 million for the first 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.

“The first quarter was marked by a renewed and increased focus on the two most prominent and influential credentialing programs on the national stage - TWIC and Registered Traveler. Both programs moved forward with significant milestones being established by DHS for roll-out in the second half of 2006. We believe this bodes well for both the industry and our company,” said Glenn Argenbright, President and CEO of Saflink.

Argenbright continued, “As we stated last quarter, we were not expecting any significant growth in revenue in the first quarter, as several government initiatives had stalled near the end of 2005 and into early 2006. However, we were pleased to see a sizable growth in revenue coming from our commercial channel of Microsoft resellers, which brought in approximately 35 percent of our revenue during the quarter.”

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 1-888-889-5602, domestically, or 973-935-8599, internationally.

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.
