Insignia Systems, Inc. Reports Second Quarter

Net Income of $110,000 on POPS Revenue of $5,285,000

MINNEAPOLIS – July 22, 2009 – Insignia Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: ISIG) today reported net sales of $5,773,000 for the second quarter ended June 30, 2009, a decrease of 23.8%, compared to net sales of $7,578,000 for the second quarter of 2008. The net income for the second quarter of 2009 was $110,000 or $0.01 per basic and diluted share, compared to $410,000, or $0.03 per basic and diluted share, for the second quarter of 2008. Insignia Point-of-Purchase Services^® (POPS) revenue for the second quarter of 2009 was $5,285,000, a decrease of 23.2%, compared to the second quarter 2008 POPS revenue of $6,883,000.

For the six months ended June 30, 2009, net sales were $11,959,000, a decrease of 15.4%, compared to net sales of $14,141,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The net income for the first half of 2009 was $1,427,000 or $0.09 per basic and diluted share, compared to $170,000, or $0.01 per basic and diluted share for the same period of 2008. Insignia POPS revenue for the first six months of 2009 was $10,916,000, a decrease of 14.9%, compared to the first six months of 2008 POPS revenue of $12,831,000.

CEO Scott Drill commented, “We are pleased that we were able to report a profit by writing approximately $800,000 in additional second quarter POPS business since the first quarter release on April 29, 2009. The bottom line also benefited from lower News America related legal expense which was $306,000 for the second quarter of 2009 versus $818,000 for the second quarter of 2008 and $715,000 for the first quarter of 2009. Without News America related legal expense, we would have had non-GAAP net income of $416,000 for the second quarter of 2009. Absent the insurance settlement in the first quarter of 2009 of $1,387,000, we would have had non-GAAP net income of $40,000 for the first six months of 2009. Without both News America related legal expense and the insurance settlement, non-GAAP net income would have been $1,061,000 for the first six months of 2009.”

Drill went on to state, “Our business for the third quarter looks relatively strong in that we currently have POPS customer orders of approximately $6,639,000 with roughly six weeks of selling time left. Our relationship with our strategic partner Valassis continues to be superb.”

Drill continued, “On the legal front, the main activity was related to the hearing on the summary judgment motions on May 11, 2009. The Judge took the motions under advisement. Finally, cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments on June 30, 2009 totaled $8,602,000.”
