On March 15, 2005, SAFLINK Corporation issued a press release announcing its financial results for the fiscal quarter and year ended December 31, 2004. The press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this report and is incorporated herein by reference.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
To supplement the information that is presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), in our historical information for the period presented in the press release and conference call, we provide certain non-GAAP financial measures that exclude from the directly comparable GAAP measures certain non-cash charges, including charges related to acquisitions such as amortization of intangibles and stock-based compensation expense. We believe that these non-GAAP measures enhance an investor’s 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, or as a substitute for, 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.
