Cognigen Networks, Inc. Reports FY 2003 Financial Results:
Records Positive Net Income Compared to a Net Loss in FY 2002

SEATTLE,  September 30 /PRNewswire-First  Call/ -- Cognigen Networks,  Inc. (OTC
Bulletin  Board:  CGNW- news),  the Seattle based  internet-enabled  marketer of
communications services,  reseller and facilities based carrier, today announced
the audited  financial  results for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003.  In its
Annual  Report on Form  10-KSB  filed  with the SEC,  Cognigen  reported  annual
revenue of $10,916,272,  a decrease of just over 1% compared to FY 2002 when the
Company realized revenue of $11,075,261. Despite the slight loss in revenue, net
income of $401,407 for FY 2003 was realized, marking an improvement over the net
loss of ($388,776) recorded in FY 2002.

Cognigen's  CFO,  Gary L. Cook,  commented,  "Results  for the past  fiscal year
reflect a notable  year to year  improvement  in net income,  notwithstanding  a
reduction in revenue of $158,989  compared to the previous year.  While the lack
of  revenue  growth is not  acceptable,  it was not  unexpected  in light of the
strategic  transition  in our  business  profile and  delivery  of services  and
products that was  undertaken  during the last three months of FY2003.  Cognigen
has traditionally sold services and products as an agent for other providers. As
a  reseller,  licensed  in  several  states,  the  Company  is now able to sell,
self-brand,  bill and own the  accounts  for the  services  it  sells.  The most
significant  impact of this  transition  is that by  billing  and  owning  these
accounts,  we generate  approximately five times as much revenue compared to the
commission revenue we earn by selling as an agent for other vendors."

Mr.  Cook,   continued,   "Cognigen's  operating  expenses  for  FY  2003,  were
$1,004,373,  a  reduction  of 8.8% when  compared  to FY 2002.  The  decrease in
operating expenses at a rate greater than our decrease in revenue,  demonstrates
the  commitment of our employees and managers to maximize  productivity,  and to
exercise fiscal restraint.  On a year-to-year  basis, our FY 2003 net income per
common share-diluted was $0.04 compared to a net loss of ($0.04) per share in FY
2002.  " Complete  financial  reports  for the  Cognigen  are  available  in the
Company's  Annual  Report  on Form  10-KSB  filed  with  the  SEC,  and are also
accessible through Edgar-On-Line and other Internet services.
