Minnesota case denied the Amended Motions to Dismiss which were filed by News America and Albertson’s. The case will now move into the discovery stage. On the sales and marketing front, we entered into a strategic alliance with Valassis Sales and Marketing Services, Inc. in which Valassis will be able to sell Insignia POPSigns to its consumer packaged goods customers. The relationship will give us much broader exposure to our existing and prospective customers.”
Drill went on to state, “We expect to be profitable again in the current quarter in that we have POPS customer orders of approximately $4.2 million with six weeks of selling time left. Our cash position at quarter end was $3,091,000. Legal expense for the second quarter was $279,000 versus $270,000 in the second quarter of 2005. Discovery continues to be on hold in our New York case where we have had an Amended Motion to Dismiss pending since August 18, 2004.”
