We have been developing the technology behind this initiative for more than 18 months and now feel that we have the components necessary to provide true enterprise security -- from the doorway to the desktop." SAFLINK's new solution is designed to enable a rapid and low-cost enterprise deployment by eliminating the need to spend time and money on separate systems or their on-site integration.

Actual results may differ materially from historical results or those indicated by these forward-looking statements as a result of a variety of factors including, but not limited to, risks and uncertainties associated with the company's financial condition, its ability to sell its products, its ability to compete with competitors and the growth of the biometrics market.

In addition, the success of our new technology and solutions depends on a number of factors, including the cost, performance and reliability of our products and services and the products and services of competitors; customers' perception of the perceived benefit of biometric solutions and our products in particular; public perceptions of the intrusiveness of these solutions and the manner in which firms are using the biometric information collected; the success of our pilot deployments and customers' satisfaction with our products and services; and our marketing efforts and publicity regarding these products and services. If biometric solutions or our products and services do not gain wide market acceptance our business and our financial results will suffer.
