              NYFIX REPORTS 2003 FOURTH QUARTER AND ANNUAL RESULTS


STAMFORD, CT, MARCH 9, 2004: NYFIX, INC. (NASDAQ:  NYFX), a leader in technology
solutions  for  the  financial  marketplace,  today  announced,  subject  to the
statements in the Disclosure section below, its financial results for the fourth
quarter and year ended December 31, 2003. Highlights include:

     o    Revenue of $65.9 million in 2003, up 18% from $55.8 million in 2002;
     o    Transaction revenue of $12.7 million in 2003, up 79% from $7.1 million
          in 2002;

          $40.2 million in 2002;
     o    Cash  provided by  operating  activities  of $15.4  million in 2003 as
          compared to $3.8 million in 2002;
     o    Cash provided by operating  activities of $10.4 million for the fourth
          quarter 2003;
     o    Net loss of $4.4 million  ($0.14 per common share) in 2003 as compared
          to a net loss of $3.2 million ($0.11 per common share) in 2002;
     o    Net loss of $2.3  million  ($0.07  per  common  share)  for the fourth
          quarter of 2003 as compared to net income of $0.6  million  ($0.02 per
          common share) for the fourth quarter of 2002;
     o    Fourth quarter 2003 and year-end  results of operations were adversely
          impacted by a charge of $2.2 million ($1.3 million after tax, or $0.04
          per common share) primarily related to a Company initiated  receivable
          collection  campaign  designed to increase the Company's cash position
          through the acceleration of cash collection from certain customers.

FOURTH QUARTER RESULTS

Revenue for the fourth quarter of 2003 was $16.5  million,  as compared to $16.4
million for the third quarter of 2003 and $17.3  million for the fourth  quarter
of 2002.  The net loss was $2.3 million  ($0.07 per common share) for the fourth
quarter  of 2003 as  compared  to a net loss of $1.1  million  ($0.03 per common
share) for the third  quarter of 2003 and net income of $0.6 million  ($0.02 per
common  share) for the fourth  quarter of 2002.  Fourth  quarter 2003  operating
results were adversely  impacted by a charge of $2.2 million ($1.3 million after
tax, or $0.04 per common share) as noted above. The Company  provided  discounts
for cash collections to certain customer  segments impacted by recent changes to
market distribution and those exposed to impact from pending regulatory changes.
Last year, fourth quarter 2002 earnings were positively impacted by $0.5 million
($0.02 per common share) for the favorable results of a completed study relating
to research and development tax credits incentives  available to the Company for
1999 through 2002.

Cash, cash equivalents and short-term  investments was $24.5 million at December
31, 2003 as compared to $16.5 million at September 30, 2003 and $21.9 million at
December 31, 2002. Accounts receivable was $10.4 million at December 31, 2003 as
compared to $18.4  million at September  30, 2003 and $16.6  million at December
31, 2002. Cash provided by operating activities was $10.4 million for the fourth
quarter  of 2003,  which  was  offset by cash used by  investing  and  financing
activities totaling $0.9 million.

FULL YEAR RESULTS

Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2003 was $65.9  million,  as compared to
$55.8  million for 2002.  The net loss for the year was $4.4 million  ($0.14 per
common share) as compared to a net loss of $3.2 million ($0.11 per common share)
for 2002.  Cash  provided by operating  activities  was $15.4  million for 2003,
which was offset by cash used in  investing  and  financing  activities  of $5.6
million.





BUSINESS UPDATE

NYFIX increased  revenue in 2003 and believes it has increased  market share and
improved  its  position  for  2004.  The  Company  continued  to  invest  in its
operations,  products, and processing capacity for both the Company's technology
and transaction  segments.  While impacting  operating  results for 2003,  these
costs, and increased  staffing and technology  investments,  formed an important
part of the Company's strategy.  Specifically,  investing in building a platform
for  distribution  of products  and  services to the  buyside  industry  and the
statistical  arbitrage and hedge fund community,  establishing its self-clearing
operations,  acquiring  Renaissance and further  developing the Company's global
plans were part of our efforts in 2003

To better position the Company in a changing  environment,  one of the Company's
strategic  initiatives in 2003 was to expand the NYFIX Network to the buyside or
institutional  investment  community.  The sizeable US and global  institutional
investor community  increased its demand for greater access to brokers,  markets
and technology for improving  execution  quality and cost. This  opportunity for
NYFIX to combine the industrial strength and reach of its NYFIX Network with new
dynamic  products can help this market  segment  improve its results and further
streamline  operations.  With many  specific  buyside  products in their initial
rollout or development  phase,  the Company  believes  these product  offerings,
together  with its existing  capabilities,  have enabled it to sign close to 100
buyside  institutions  for high-speed  data-circuits to connect to their trading
partners and services on the NYFIX Network.  "We have executed these  agreements
in a relatively  short period of time. With 40 of these customers  ranked in the
top 200 buyside firms,  we believe this affirms our strategy,"  commented  Peter
Kilbinger  Hansen,  Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of NYFIX, Inc. Delivery
of  network  connectivity,   including  dedicated  circuits,  routers,  and  FIX
Certification processing and testing,  typically results in a lead-time of 90 to
180 days from contract execution to production.

As the Company  continues to expand and strengthen  its brokerage  market share,
the addition of Renaissance Trading Technologies was a key element in its plans.
The acquisition of Renaissance in 2003 bolstered the Company's OTC capabilities,
bringing a  state-of-the-art  market making and agency trading platform into its
product  portfolio.  The  Renaissance  products,  combined  with NYFIX's  Listed
trading products, enable the Company to deliver a robust-quality offering to the
OTC market,  as well as to the increasing number of firms combining their Listed
and OTC trading operations.

"Based  on our  business  model of  expanding  into new  customer  segments,  we
anticipate  revenue  growth and  profitability  in 2004.  Despite  disappointing
operating  results  for 2003,  we made  significant  strides  in  advancing  our
business  strategy,   positioning  the  Company  for  future   competitiveness,"
concluded Mr. Hansen.

DISCLOSURE

The Company has received a comment  letter from the SEC's  Division of Corporate
Finance regarding the Company's accounting for its investment in and acquisition
of its 80%-owned subsidiary, NYFIX Millennium,  L.L.C. The comments were made by
the SEC in connection  with its review of a  registration  statement on Form S-3
filed in 2003.  The comments  relate solely to the Company's  accounting for its
investment in and  acquisition of NYFIX  Millennium and the Company has reviewed
its accounting  for these  transactions  and believes it is proper.  On March 5,
2004, the Company responded to the SEC comment letter. The Company will continue
to use its best efforts to address comments from the SEC. However, the Company's
results  for the fourth  quarter  and year 2003 could be subject to change.  The
Company  expects to submit an  extension  on the filing of its Annual  Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended  December 31, 2003 until March 30, 2004.  While the
Company  expects to file its Form 10-K by the extended  filing date, it can give
no assurance this will be accomplished.


GUIDANCE

The Company  expects revenue for the first quarter of 2004 to be in the range of
$16.5  million to $18.0  million.  First  quarter  earnings  per common share is
expected  to be in the  range of a net loss of $0.03  to  breakeven.  While  the
Company is  focusing  on growing  its  recurring  subscription  and  transaction




revenue,  capital sales continue to be a component of quarterly  revenue and are
less  predictable,  which may impact the consistency of the Company's  financial
results. The Company expects to return to profitability for the year 2004.

The Company is hosting its quarterly  earnings call today at 12:00 Noon EST. The
call       can      be       accessed       via      the       Internet       at
HTTP://WWW.FIRSTCALLEVENTS.COM/SERVICE/AJWZ371547017GF12.HTML  and the Company's
website  at  HTTP://WWW.NYFIX.COM.  A  replay  of the  conference  call  will be
available via the Company's website.

EXECUTIVE OFFICER APPOINTMENT

The  Company is pleased to  announce  the  appointment  of Keith R.  Jamaitis as
President of NYFIX USA. In his new role, Mr.  Jamaitis will be  responsible  for
revenue and business  development  for the Company's core brokerage  business as
well  as the  Javelin  and  recently-acquired  Renaissance  product  lines.  Mr.
Jamaitis,  who has been with NYFIX  since 1997,  was  formerly  Chief  Operating
Officer  of NYFIX  USA and prior to that lead the  project  management,  account
management, and product support teams for the Company.
