Exhibit 99.1

SAFLINK CORPORATION REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2007 FINANCIAL RESULTS

KIRKLAND, WA – (May 15, 2007) – Saflink® Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: 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, 2007.

Revenue for the first quarter of 2007 was $504,000, compared to $702,000 for the fourth quarter of 2006, and $857,000 for the first quarter of 2006. Saflink reported a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $3.5 million, or $0.03 per share, for the first quarter of 2007. This is compared to a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $24.8 million, or $0.27 per share, for the fourth quarter of 2006, which included non-cash impairment charges on goodwill and intangible assets of $15.5 million and $1.7 million, respectively, and 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.

Non-GAAP operating loss for the first quarter of 2007 was $1.4 million, which excludes stock-based compensation expense. This loss is compared to a non-GAAP operating loss of $5.6 million for the first quarter of 2006, which excludes certain non-cash charges such as amortization of intangible assets, impairment of goodwill, and stock-based compensation expense. 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.

“During the first quarter, we addressed several of our corporate objectives, which included licensing or selling technologies, bringing in necessary capital and further reducing our monthly burn rate,” said Steven M. Oyer, Saflink’s Interim Chief Executive Officer. “We continue to work toward strengthening our financial situation in order to implement growth plans for our core technologies group and our efforts related to the Registered Traveler program.”

Saflink plans to announce a conference call in the coming weeks to provide a general business update and discuss recent business activities for Saflink and its wholly-owned subsidiary FLO Corporation.

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.
