Company Reaches Agreement to Sell SAFsolution and SAFmodule Source Code

KIRKLAND, WA – (March 2, 2007) – Saflink® Corporation (NASDAQ:SFLK), a leading provider of solutions that verify identity, secure access and increase productivity, today announced the sale of SAFsolution and SAFmodule source code to an industry-leading enterprise security solutions provider. According to the terms of the agreement, Saflink received $778,000 in cash and will also receive royalties on sales during the next three years that incorporate the SAFsolution or SAFmodule source code.

The buyer of Saflink’s technologies is a privately-held entity with an established distribution and significant relationships with top-tier, global computer manufacturers. The opportunity includes the ability to bundle SAFsolution and SAFmodule into software that is included on laptops and PCs manufactured by the buyer’s partners and sold to corporate, government and retail customers. Based on current sales projections from the buyer, Saflink believes the royalties could be a multi-million dollar income stream during the next three years.

This release contains information about our management’s view of our future expectations, plans and prospects that constitute forward-looking statements for purposes of the safe harbor provisions under The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Actual results may differ materially from historical results or those indicated by these forward-looking statements as a result of a variety of factors. For example, we have not generated any significant sales of our products within the competitive commercial market, including our SAFsolution and SAFmodule products, nor have we demonstrated sales techniques or promotional activities that have proven to be successful on a consistent basis. If the company to whom we sold these software products does not promote the products, our ability to generate royalty revenue may be limited and our business and financial condition could suffer. Other factors include, but are not limited to, risks and uncertainties associated with our financial condition, our ability to sell our products, our ability to compete with competitors and the growth of the security market, and those included in our annual report on Form 10-K, as well as other documents we periodically file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
