FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Image Sensing Systems Announces Second Quarter Financial Results
Saint Paul, Minn., July 31, 2007-- Image Sensing Systems, Inc. (ISS) (NASDAQ: ISNS) announced today that its net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 was $702,000 ($0.18 per diluted share) compared to net income of $711,000 ($0.18 per diluted share) for the same period in 2006. Net income for the first half of 2007 was $1.3 million ($0.32 per diluted share) compared to $1.2 million ($0.31 per diluted share) for the same period in 2006.
Revenue for the second quarter was $3.0 million compared to $3.4 million for the same period in 2006, while revenue for the first half of 2007 was $5.7 million compared to $6.0 million for the same period a year ago. Revenue from royalty income decreased to $2.3 million in the quarter from $2.5 million in the second quarter of 2006 and to $4.6 million in the first half from $4.7 million in the first half of 2006. International sales decreased to $736,000 in the quarter from $898,000 for the same quarter in 2006 and decreased to $1.1 million in the first half from $1.3 million in the same period of 2006. The revenue decreases reflect certain manufacturing and end customer purchase timing impacts, in both domestic and international markets, related to the company’s transition to the Autoscope® Terra product line announced this past April. Operating expenses for the quarter were $2.0 million, a 5% increase from $1.9 million in the same period of 2006, while operating expenses for the first half increased 8% to $3.8 million from $3.5 million in the first half of 2006.
Ken Aubrey, CEO, commented, “Coordinating the Terra transition has not been without its share of challenges. As is often the case with major product line transitions, there are unplanned situations to overcome. While we cannot predict how long the transition will impact end customer decisions, we do not expect the impact to be long-term in nature. The majority of our products are now Terra based and we expect to continue the product transition over the next 9 to 12 months.”
Headquartered in St. Paul, Minnesota, Image Sensing Systems, Inc. combines expertise in image processing, hardware and software engineering and communications to develop Autoscope® video detection systems for advanced traffic management and control applications.
