Saint Paul, Minn., November 4, 2010-- Image Sensing Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: ISNS), announced today the results for its first nine months of its fiscal year and third quarter ended September 30, 2010.

Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $21.1 million compared to $17.9 million for the same period of 2009, while revenue for the third quarter of 2010 was $9.1 million compared to $6.8 million for the same period a year ago. Revenue from royalties was $9.2 million in first nine months of 2010 compared to $9.1 million in 2009 and $3.4 million in the third quarter of 2010, flat compared to the same period of 2009. Product sales were $11.9 million for the first nine months of 2010 compared to $8.8 million in 2009 and were $5.7 million in the third quarter of 2010 compared to $3.4 million in the same period of 2009. RTMS and CitySync product sales world-wide for the third quarter were $2.5 million and $1.9 million, respectively.

Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $1.9 million ($0.41 per diluted share) compared to $3.0 million ($0.74 per diluted share) for the same period of 2009. Net income for our third quarter was $1.1 million ($0.23 per diluted share) compared to $1.6 million ($0.38 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 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.

On a non-GAAP basis, excluding intangible asset amortization net of tax and acquisition related expenses, net income for the first nine months of 2010 was $3.0 million ($0.65 per diluted share) and for the third quarter was $1.4 million ($0.28 per diluted share).

Ken Aubrey, CEO, said, “Although the CitySync integration is still in its early stages, we are encouraged that the performance of our new ANPR business was in keeping with expectations. This performance, along with improved year over year results for our traditional international businesses, is helping us achieve our goal of over-proportionate growth in the international arena. We are also heartened that our domestic business is showing signs of stabilization and even modest growth.

“Taken together, CitySync and RTMS constituted just under half of the quarter’s revenue and that bespeaks success in gaining product portfolio breadth while pursuing our strategy of designing or acquiring complementary detection technologies for traffic, security and environmental management markets.”

Non-GAAP Information

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.
