Cognigen Networks,  Inc. Announces  Financial Results For Quarter and Six Months
Ended December 31, 2003: Net Income Is Positive and Operating Expenses Decrease

SEATTLE,  February 19  /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
financial  results for the three and six month periods ended  December 31, 2003.
Complete  unaudited  details can be obtained from the  Quarterly  Report on Form
10-QSB that Cognigen will file today with the SEC, which may be accessed through
Edgar Online and similar services.

Cognigen's  CFO,  Gary L.  Cook,  stated,  "Our  fiscal  year's  second  quarter
operating  results show positive net income  coupled with a slight  reduction in
operating  expenses.  For the quarter ended December 31, 2003, Cognigen reported
net income of $236,983  compared to net income of $245,014  for the same quarter
in 2002.  Results for the six months ended December 31, 2003, show net income of
$44,083  compared to net income of $299,148 for the same period in 2002.  On the
revenue side,  quarter to quarter  comparisons  with fiscal year 2002,  reveal a
reduction  in total  revenue  of  $5,273  in  2003.  Part of this  shortfall  is
attributable to a drop-off in revenue due to defaulted  commission payments from
certain former vendors.  Marketing  commissions decreased by 26% from $1,652,960
for the quarter ended  December 31, 2002, to $1,229,612  for the same quarter in
2003. Concurrently,  telecommunications revenue increased by 53% from $1,040,896
for the quarter ended  December 31, 2002, to $1,594,118  for the same quarter in
2003. The decrease in marketing  commissions and increase in  telecommunications
revenue  is  largely  a result  of the  strategic  transition  in the  Company's
business  profile and  delivery of products  and  services.  More  products  and
services  sold are now  proprietary  whereby  the end user  revenue is  recorded
versus only a commission  on the end user revenue for products and services sold
of other vendors.  Income per common  share-basic and diluted-was  $0.02 for the
quarter ended December 31, 2003, and slightly  positive for the six months ended
December 31, 2003."

Thomas S. Smith, Cognigen's president and CEO, commented, "We are gratified with
our return to positive net income for the quarter, and with what appears to be a
leveling  off of the rate of revenue  loss.  Cognigen's  mission is to achieve a
greater  rate of growth and market  share.  If  Cognigen  is  successful  in its
mission, it should lead to improved  profitability.  To attempt to realize these
goals we are expanding our offerings of bundled local and long distance service,
and improving our cost competitive menu of business  services.  Offerings of new
and improved  Internet  access service,  conference  calling and T-1 systems are
being  made  available  on our  websites.  These  will  provide  our  network of
independent  agents  with a broader  array of  products  and  services  to reach
existing  residential  customers and to attract new and higher  volume  business
subscribers through competitive  pricing.  This is being accomplished as we take
further steps to reduce operating costs and improve productivity."
