Saint Paul, Minn., August 4, 2010-- Image Sensing Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: ISNS), announced today the results for its first six months of its fiscal year and second quarter ended June 30, 2010.
Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was $769,000 ($0.17 per diluted share) compared to $1.4 million ($0.35 per diluted share) for the same period of 2009. Net income for our second quarter was $367,000 ($0.08 per diluted share) compared to $1.2 million ($0.29 per diluted share) for the same period in 2009. The results for 2010 include the impact of acquisition expenses incurred in conjunction with our June purchase of CitySync Limited as well as approximately 10 days of its operational activity post-acquisition, and the 2010 per share results are further impacted by the issuance of 798,000 shares of common stock in our stock offering completed in April.
Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was $12.0 million compared to $11.1 million for the same period of 2009, while revenue for the second quarter of 2010 was $6.6 million compared to $6.3 million for the same period a year ago. Revenue from royalties was $5.8 million in first six months of 2010 compared to $5.7 million in 2009 and $3.2 million in the second quarter of 2010 compared to $3.4 million in the same period of 2009. North American sales, which are sales of RTMS® and CitySync in North America, were $3.2 million for the first six months of 2010 compared to $3.1 million in 2009 and were $1.5 million in the second quarter of 2010 compared to $1.7 million in the same period of 2009. International sales, which includes sales outside of North America from all of our product lines, were $3.0 million for the first six months of 2010 compared to $2.3 million in the same period of 2009 and were $1.9 million in the second quarter of 2010 compared to $1.2 million in the same period in 2009. Sales of RTMS and CitySync world-wide for the second quarter were $2.1 million and $309,000, respectively.
On a non-GAAP basis, excluding intangible asset amortization net of tax and acquisition related expenses in the 2010 second quarter, net income for the first six months of 2010 was $1.6 million ($0.36 per diluted share) and for the second quarter was $1.0 million ($0.22 per diluted share).
Based on recent changes to accounting rules, we are required to estimate what we believe will be paid to the CitySync sellers under their entire earn-out arrangement and record this as a liability concurrent with the purchase rather than recording it from time to time when an earn-out liability becomes probable. Our estimate of $1.0 million was recorded as part of the purchase accounting and remains as a liability on our balance sheet as of June 30, 2010.
Ken Aubrey, CEO, said, “We had two significant accomplishments during the second quarter: acquiring CitySync and raising $8.8 million in a secondary offering of common stock. These demonstrate our commitment to exceptional revenue growth, particularly noting that the CitySync acquisition substantially expands our addressable market, strengthens our selling presence in Europe and extends the opportunities for hybrid product developments.
“Although our revenues show modest year-over-year improvement, the nearly flat Q2 results reflect that the economic recovery is still incomplete and sporadic. Nonetheless, we are pursuing our previously announced course of measured forward investment in product development and expanding selling capacity to best position ISS as the recovery continues. These forward investments and lower Q2 gross margins resulting from an unusual mix of base product versus third party pass through content, which were partially offset by revisions to tax credit estimates, have resulted in an earnings downturn.”
Mr. Aubrey continued, “We are now a larger and more capable company, and going forward we will continue our investments, especially as they relate to the development of a range of new products. We remain convinced that this will serve to our best advantage as the recovery unfolds.”
We provide certain non-GAAP financial information as supplemental information to GAAP amounts. This non-GAAP information excludes the impact, net of tax, of amortizing the intangible assets from the 2007 EIS asset acquisition and the CitySync acquisition and may exclude other non-recurring items. Management believes that this presentation facilitates the comparison of our current operating results to historical operating results. Management uses this non-GAAP information to evaluate short-term and long-term operating trends in our core operations. Non-GAAP information is not prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered a substitute for or an alternative to GAAP financial measures and may not be computed the same as similarly titled measures used by other companies.
