Innovative Solutions & Support, Inc. Announces Financial Results for
the 2
nd Quarter and Year-To-Date Periods Ended March 31, 2007

Strong Bookings Boost Backlog to a Record $42.7 Million at
Quarter End

Exton, PA.—(BUSINESS WIRE)—April 25, 2007—Innovative Solutions & Support, Inc. (NASDAQ:ISSC-news) today announced results for the 2nd quarter and six months ended March 31, 2007.

For the second quarter of fiscal 2007, the Company reported a net loss of $(2.4) million or $(0.14) per fully diluted share on revenues of $4.0 million. Approximately one-half of this loss was attributable to legal fees the Company incurred in defending its Intellectual Property from infringement.

Mr. Roman Ptakowski, President of Innovative Solutions and Support, Inc., commented, “The highlight of the second quarter of fiscal 2007 was our five year agreement with Eclipse Aviation to provide flat panel display systems (Primary Flight Displays and Multi Function Displays) for the Eclipse 500 Very Light Jet (VLJ). Eclipse Aviation intends to deliver 400 airplanes in 2007, and 1,000 airplanes in each of 2008 and 2009.”

“Together with our agreement to provide Eclipse Aviation with OEM Flat Panel Display Systems and Cessna Aircraft with Flat Panel Display Systems on their legacy aircraft, we are gaining momentum establishing our Flat Panel Display Systems in both the original equipment and retrofit markets.  Heading into the second half of this year, our backlog is at record levels and includes only initial start up requirements for the Eclipse contract due to the nature of their contracting and ordering procedures.  Clearly, we have solidified the foundation to return to profitability and growth with our Flat Panel Display Systems.”

New Flat Panel orders in the 2nd quarter ended March 31, 2007 were $11.3 million, with other new business orders of $3.2 million.  As a result, backlog at March 31, 2007 was an all time record backlog of $42.7 million.  This was an increase of $14.4 million or 51% over the March 31, 2006 backlog of $28.3 million. The Flat Panel portion of backlog was $33.5 million this year, an increase of $17.2 million or 106% from the $16.3 million recorded at March 31, 2006.

Year-To-Date Results

Revenues for the first six months of 2007 were $7.4 million compared with revenues of $9.2 million in the six months ended March 31, 2006. The Company incurred a net loss of $(3.5) million, or $(0.21) per fully diluted share in the six months ended March 31,




2007. Approximately one-half of this loss was attributable to legal fees the Company incurred in defending its Intellectual Property from infringement.

The Company incurred a net loss of $(0.8) million, or $(0.04) per fully diluted share, in first six months of fiscal 2006. The Company continues to invest heavily in Research and Development (R&D), spending 38% of sales in both fiscal periods.

Mr. Ptakowski added, “We are in a strong financial position entering the second half of our year with $60.7 million cash.  This provides us with the flexibility and capacity needed to ramp production levels required to fulfill our commitment to deliver state of the art Flat Panel Display Systems to Eclipse, Cessna, and all of our customers, on time and error free, a tradition which we have proudly upheld throughout our history.”

Please refer to the accompanying schedules highlighting our Statement of Operations and Balance Sheet.
