<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Board of Directors (the "Board") of Innovative Solutions and Support,&nbsp;Inc. ("ISS" or the "Company") is soliciting your proxy to vote
your shares at the Company's 2017 annual meeting of shareholders (the "Annual Meeting"). The Annual Meeting will be held on April&nbsp;13, 2017 at 10:00&nbsp;a.m., local time, at the Company's
corporate offices at 720 Pennsylvania Drive, Exton, Pennsylvania. ISS intends to mail a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (sometimes referred to as the
"Notice"), and to make this Proxy Statement available to its shareholders of record entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, on or about January&nbsp;27, 2017. </FONT></P>

Your vote is important.  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In accordance with the rules and regulations adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), instead of mailing a printed copy of the
proxy materials to each shareholder of record, the Company may now furnish proxy materials including this Proxy Statement, the proxy card, and the Company's Annual Report on Form&nbsp;10-K for the
year ended September&nbsp;30, 2016 ("Annual Report") to the Company's shareholders by providing access to such documents on the Internet. Shareholders will not receive printed copies of the proxy
materials unless requested. Instead, the Notice will instruct shareholders as to how they may access and review all of the proxy materials. The Notice also instructs shareholders how to submit a proxy
through the Internet. If you would like to receive a paper copy or e-mail copy of your proxy materials, you should follow the instructions for requesting such materials included in the Notice. ISS
will pay the entire cost of preparing, assembling, printing, mailing and distributing these proxy materials, and soliciting votes. If you choose to access the proxy materials and/or vote over the
Internet, you are responsible for any Internet access charges you may incur. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;You
may revoke this proxy at any time before it is voted by written notice to the Chief Financial Officer of the Company, Relland M. Winand, by submission of a proxy bearing a later
date, or by casting a ballot at the Annual Meeting. Properly executed and delivered proxies that are received before the Annual Meeting's adjournment will be voted in accordance with the directions
provided or, if no directions are provided, your shares will be voted by one of the individuals named on your proxy card as recommended by the Board. If you wish to give a proxy to someone other than
those named on the proxy card, you should cross out those names and insert the name(s) of the person(s), not more than three, to whom you wish to give your proxy. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If
you want to vote in person at the Annual Meeting and you hold shares of Company common stock in street name, you must obtain a proxy card from your broker and bring that proxy card to
the Annual Meeting, together with a copy of a brokerage statement reflecting your common stock ownership as of the record date. </FONT></P>

"house-holding." Unless you responded that you did not want to participate in "house-holding," you were deemed to have consented to the process. Each shareholder will continue to receive a separate

What constitutes a quorum?  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The presence at the Annual Meeting, in person or by proxy, of shareholders entitled to cast at least a majority of the votes that all
shareholders are entitled to cast on a particular matter to be acted upon at the meeting shall constitute a quorum for the purpose of consideration and action on the matter. Abstentions from voting
and broker "non-votes" will be counted toward a quorum. A broker "non-vote" occurs when the nominee holding a shareholder's shares does not vote on a particular proposal because the nominee does not
have discretionary voting power on that item and has not received instructions from the shareholder. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Yes. You can change or revoke your proxy at any time before the Annual Meeting either by notifying the Company's Secretary and Chief Financial
Officer in writing or by sending another executed proxy dated later than the first proxy card. Your attendance at the Annual Meeting will not cause your previously granted proxy to be revoked unless
you specifically so request. For shares of common stock that you hold beneficially, you may change or revoke your proxy by submitting new voting instructions to your broker or nominee. </FONT></P>

2009 Stock-Based Incentive Compensation Plan  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company's 2009 Plan was approved by the Company's shareholders at the Company's Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on March&nbsp;12,
2009. The 2009 Plan authorizes the grant of stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, options and other equity-based awards (collectively referred to as "Awards"). Options granted under the 2009
Plan may be either "incentive stock options" as defined in section&nbsp;422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), or nonqualified stock options, as determined by the
Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Directors (the "Compensation Committee"). </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Subject
to an adjustment necessary upon a stock dividend, recapitalization, forward split or reverse split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, spin-off, combination, repurchase or
share exchange, extraordinary or unusual cash distribution, or similar corporate transaction or event, the maximum number of shares of common stock available for awards under the 2009 Plan is
1,200,000, all of which may be issued pursuant to Awards of incentive stock options or nonqualified stock options. In addition, the 2009 Plan provides that no more than 300,000 shares may be awarded
in any calendar year to any employee as a performance-based award under Section&nbsp;162(m) of the Code. As of September&nbsp;30, 2016, there were 257,264 shares of common stock available for
Awards under the 2009 Plan. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If
any Award is forfeited, or if any option terminates, expires or lapses without being exercised, the related shares of common stock subject to such Award will again be available for
future grant. Any shares tendered by a participant in payment of the exercise price of an option or the tax liability with respect to an Award (including, in any case, shares withheld from any such
Award) will not be available for future grant under the 2009 Plan. If there is any change in the Company's corporate capitalization, the Compensation Committee must proportionately and equitably
adjust the number and kind of shares of common stock which may be issued in connection with future Awards, the number and type of shares of common stock covered by Awards then outstanding under the
2009 Plan, the number and type of shares of common stock available under the 2009 Plan, the exercise or grant price of any Award, or if deemed appropriate, make provision for a cash payment with
respect to any outstanding Award, provided that no adjustment may be made that would adversely affect the status of any Award that is intended to be a performance-based Award under
Section&nbsp;162(m) of the Code, unless otherwise determined by the Compensation Committee. In addition, the Compensation Committee may make </FONT></P>

of shares subject to the 2009 Plan; (ii)&nbsp;would decrease the price at which Awards may be granted; or (iii)&nbsp;would require shareholder approval by law, regulation, or the rules of any

1998 Stock Option Plan  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company's 1998 Plan was adopted in order to recognize the contributions made by the Company's employees, directors, consultants and
advisors, to provide such persons with additional incentives to devote their efforts to the Company's future success and to improve the Company's ability to attract, retain and motivate individuals
through the receipt of Company stock options. The maximum number of shares of the Company's common stock available under the 1998 Plan was 3,389,025 (after giving effect to stock splits). The 1998
Plan authorized the grant of "incentive stock options" (within the meaning of Section&nbsp;422 of the Code) and non-qualified stock options, such options to vest and become exercisable as specified
in separate written agreements between the Company and the option recipient. Unless otherwise specified in such agreement, all outstanding options become fully vested and exercisable upon a change in
control. The 1998 Plan expired on November&nbsp;13, 2008; therefore, no further options can be awarded under the 1998 Plan. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), requires the Company's officers (as defined under
Section&nbsp;16(a) of the Exchange Act), directors and persons who own greater than 10% of a registered class of the Company's equity securities to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership
with the SEC. Based solely on a review of the forms the Company has received and on written representations from certain reporting persons that no such forms were required for them, the Company
believes that during the fiscal year ended September&nbsp;30, 2016, the officers, directors and 10% beneficial owners of the Company complied with all of the applicable Section&nbsp;16(a) of the
Exchange Act filing requirements, except that (i)&nbsp;on October&nbsp;3, 2016 a late Form&nbsp;4 was filed on behalf of each of our non-employee directors (other than Mr.&nbsp;Bressner)

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;At the annual meeting, the shareholders will elect two Class&nbsp;II directors and one Class&nbsp;I director to hold office until the annual
meetings of shareholders in 2020 and 2019, respectively, or until their respective successors have been duly elected and qualified. The Board is divided into three classes serving staggered three-year
terms, the term of one class of directors to expire each year. The term of the Class&nbsp;II directors expires at the 2017 annual meeting of shareholders. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Upon
the recommendation of the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee, the Board has nominated Mr.&nbsp;Glen R. Bressner and Mr.&nbsp;Robert E. Mittelstaedt, Jr. to serve as
Class&nbsp;II directors. Both men serve presently as Class&nbsp;II directors and each has indicated a willingness to continue serving as a director. In April 2016, Mr.&nbsp;Roger A. Carolin was
elected by the Board of Directors as a Class&nbsp;I director to fill a vacancy on the Board of Directors. According to the Company's bylaws, when a director is
elected to fill a vacancy on the Board of Directors, he or she shall be elected to serve a term expiring at the next annual meeting of shareholders, regardless of the class to which the director is
elected. At such next annual meeting of shareholders, that director shall stand for re-election to a term expiring at the annual meeting when the term of a director in such class would naturally
expire. Upon the recommendation of the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee, the Board has nominated Mr.&nbsp;Roger A. Carolin to serve as a Class&nbsp;I director. Mr.&nbsp;Carolin
currently serves as a Class&nbsp;I director and has indicated a willingness to continue serving as a director for a term expiring at the annual meeting of shareholders in 2019. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Unless
contrary instructions are given, the shares represented by a properly executed proxy will be voted "</FONT><FONT SIZE=2><B>FOR</B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>" the election of
Messrs.&nbsp;Bressner, Mittelstaedt and Carolin. Shareholders must cast a separate vote </FONT><FONT SIZE=2><B>"FOR"</B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2> the candidacy of each nominee or to </FONT> <FONT SIZE=2><B>"WITHHOLD AUTHORITY"</B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2> with
respect thereto. The three nominees receiving a plurality of the votes cast for director will be elected. Should any nominee
become unavailable to accept election as a director, the persons named in the enclosed proxy will vote the shares that they represent for the election of such other person as the Board may recommend. </FONT> <FONT SIZE=2><B>The Board of Directors
recommends voting "FOR" the nominee for Class&nbsp;I director and "FOR" the nominees for Class&nbsp;II director</B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Board does not have a formal policy on whether the roles of Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board should be separate. Currently,
Mr.&nbsp;Geoffrey S.M. Hedrick serves in both of these positions. The Board believes that it is in the best interests of the Company's shareholders to combine these offices as it promotes
information flow between management and the Board, effective decision making and an alignment of corporate strategy. In addition, Mr.&nbsp;Glen R. Bressner, an Independent Director, serves as Vice
Chairman of the Board and as presiding director during executive sessions of Independent Directors. The Board believes that its structural features, including four independent directors on a board
currently consisting of five directors, regular meetings of Independent Directors in executive session, an independent Vice Chairman of the Board and key committees consisting wholly of Independent
Directors, provide for substantial independent oversight of the Company's management. However, the Board recognizes that, depending on future circumstances, other leadership models may become more
appropriate. Accordingly, the Board will continue to review periodically its leadership structure. </FONT></P>

reputational risk and risk from adverse fluctuations in interest rates. Management is responsible for the day-to-day management of risks faced by the Company, while the Board, as a whole and through
its committees, has responsibility for the oversight of risk management. In its risk oversight role, the Board seeks to ensure that the risk management processes designed and implemented by management
are adequate. The Board consults periodically with management regarding the Company's risks. </FONT></P>

retention, and treatment, on a confidential basis, of complaints received by the Company regarding accounting, internal accounting controls, or auditing matters, and the confidential, anonymous
submissions by employees of concerns regarding questionable accounting or auditing matters. In addition, the Audit Committee has responsibility for, among other things, the planning and review of the
Company's annual and periodic reports and accounts, and the involvement of the Company's independent registered public accounting firm in that process. The members of the Audit Committee are currently
Messrs.&nbsp;Bressner (Chairman), Rau and Churchill. The Audit Committee is comprised solely of independent members, as independence for audit committee members is defined by the applicable NASDAQ
listing standards. In addition, the Board has determined in its business judgment that each member of the Audit Committee is financially literate, and that at least one of the Audit Committee members,
Mr.&nbsp;Rau, is an audit committee financial expert, as defined by SEC rules and regulations. The Audit Committee has adopted a formal written charter that has been approved by the Board. The

decisions, including annual base salaries, bonuses, and equity-based compensation programs. The Compensation Committee evaluates annually the performance of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and
determines or recommends to the full Board the annual base salary, bonus, and equity-based compensation for the Chief Executive Officer. The Compensation Committee relies on the recommendations of the

other executive officers. </FONT></P>

Compensation Committee has the authority under its charter to engage the services of outside consultants, advisors and others to assist the Compensation Committee. However, the
Compensation Committee has not retained an outside consultant or advisor to advise it regarding the Company's compensation practices. Instead, the Compensation Committee independently determines the
appropriate levels of compensation for executive officers taking into account, among other factors, the performance of such individuals (as determined in annual reviews conducted by the Compensation
Committee for the Chief Executive Officer or by the Chief Executive Officer for the other executive officers), the Company's financial performance, cost of living, prior compensation practices, and
recruitment and retention needs. The Compensation Committee relies on the recommendations of the Company's Chief Executive Officer in determining whether and how much of a discretionary bonus may be
paid to the Company's employees (including executive officers other than the Chief Executive Officer) if the Company's financial performance exceeds the Board's expectations. </FONT></P>

strengths relative to the Company's business. In the case of potential independent director candidates, such eligibility criteria must be in accordance with SEC and NASDAQ rules. While the
Nominating&nbsp;&amp; Corporate Governance Committee does not have a formal policy with regard to the consideration of diversity in indentifying director nominees, the Nominating&nbsp;&amp; Corporate
Governance and the Board believe that it is essential that the Board be able to draw on a wide variety of backgrounds and professional experience among its members. The Nominating&nbsp;&amp; Corporate
Governance Committee desires to maintain the Board's diversity through the consideration of factors such as education, skills, and relevant professional experience. The Nominating&nbsp;&amp; Corporate

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;It is the opinion of the Board that the frequency of the shareholder vote on the compensation of the Company's named executive officers should continue to be once
every three years. The Company views the way it compensates its named executive officers as an essential part of its strategy to maximize the performance of the Company and deliver enhanced value to
the Company's shareholders. The Board believes that continuing the practice of holding such a vote every three years will permit the Company to focus on developing compensation practices that are in
the best long-term interests of its shareholders, while simultaneously giving shareholders the time frame they need to fully evaluate the design and effectiveness of those practices. The Board
believes that a more frequent advisory vote could have the unintended consequence of causing the Company to focus on the short-term impact of its compensation practices to the possible detriment of
the long-term performance of the Company. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Board believes that an advisory vote on named executive officer compensation is the most effective way for shareholders to communicate with the Company about its compensation
objectives, policies and practices, and it looks forward to receiving the input of the Company's shareholders on the frequency with which such a vote should be held in the future. Although the results
of this vote may impact how frequently the Company holds an advisory vote on executive compensation, this vote is not binding on the Company. The Board may decide, after considering the results of
this vote, that it is in the best interests of the Company's shareholders to hold the advisory vote on executive compensation on a different schedule than the option approved by the Company's
shareholders. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In accordance with the Dodd-Frank Act and Section&nbsp;14A of the Exchange Act, the Company is providing its shareholders with the opportunity
to cast an advisory vote on the compensation of its named executive officers, as disclosed in the Executive Compensation section and accompanying tables beginning on page&nbsp;26 of this Proxy
Statement. The Company believes that it is appropriate to seek the views of its shareholders on the design and effectiveness of the Company's executive compensation program. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Company's goal for its executive compensation is to attract and retain exceptional individuals as executive officers and to provide key executives with motivation to perform to the
full extent of their abilities to maximize the performance of the Company and deliver enhanced value to the Company's shareholders. The Company believes that its executive compensation program
achieves these goals by (i)&nbsp;providing competitive base salaries, (ii)&nbsp;awarding performance-based cash bonuses and (iii)&nbsp;granting equity-based awards from time to time to its
executive officers. For a more detailed description of the Company's financial results for fiscal year 2016, please see "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations" in the Company's Annual Report on Form&nbsp;10-K for the fiscal year ended September&nbsp;30, 2016. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Company believes that the information provided in the Executive Compensation section of this Proxy Statement demonstrates that our executive compensation program was designed
appropriately and is working to ensure that management's interests are aligned with our shareholders' interests to support long-term value creation. Accordingly, we are asking our shareholders to vote
"FOR" the following resolution at the Annual Meeting: </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"RESOLVED,
that the compensation paid to the Company's named executive officers as disclosed pursuant to Item&nbsp;402 of Regulation&nbsp;S-K, including the Compensation Discussion
and Analysis, compensation tables and narrative discussion is hereby APPROVED." </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company has retained Grant Thornton&nbsp;LLP ("Grant Thornton") as the independent registered public accounting firm to audit the
Company's consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ending September&nbsp;30, 2017. Although action by the shareholders on these matters are not required, the Audit Committee and the
Board believe it is appropriate to seek shareholder ratification of this selection in light of the role played by the independent registered public accounting firm in reporting on the Company's
consolidated financial statements. Ratification requires the affirmative vote of a majority of eligible shares present at the Annual Meeting, in person or by proxy, and voting thereon. If this
appointment is not ratified by the shareholders, the Audit Committee may reconsider its selection. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;One
or more representatives of Grant Thornton are expected to attend the Annual Meeting. Representatives of Grant Thornton will have an opportunity to make a statement if they desire to

Pre-Approved Policies and Procedures  </I></FONT></P>

</UL>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Audit Committee's policy is to pre-approve the engagement of accountants to render all audit and tax-related services for the Company, and
any changes to the terms of the engagement. The Audit Committee pre-approves all proposed non-audit related services to be provided by the Company's independent registered public accounting firm. The
Audit Committee reviews the terms of the engagement and a description of the services along with a fee proposal for the engagement. If agreed to by the Audit Committee, the Audit Committee formally
accepts the engagement letter and fee proposal. Any proposal by the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for non-audit services must be specific as to the particular services to be
provided. Management and the independent registered public accounting firm must each confirm to the Committee that each proposed non-audit and non-audit related service is permissible under all
applicable legal requirements. Requests can be submitted to the Audit Committee and approved in one of the following ways: by a request for approval of services at a meeting of the Audit Committee, or
through a written request to the Audit Committee, which may be approved by a written consent by the Audit Committee or by a designated member of the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee approved all
2016 and 2015 fees paid to Grant Thornton. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Pursuant
to the adoption of the Audit Committee Charter (as revised), the Board has adopted a policy which prohibits the Company from entering into non-audit related consulting
agreements for financial information systems design and implementation, for certain other services considered to have an impact on independence, and for all other services prohibited by Sarbanes-Oxley
and new SEC regulations. The policy also contains procedures requiring Audit Committee pre-approval of all audit and permitted non-audit services provided by the Company's independent registered
public accounting firm. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>The following report of the Audit Committee will not be deemed incorporated by reference by any general statement
incorporating by reference this Proxy Statement into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or under the Exchange Act, except to the extent that the Company specifically incorporates
this information by reference. The following report shall not otherwise be deemed filed under such Acts.</I></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Audit Committee assists the Board in its oversight of the financial reporting process. The Audit Committee operates pursuant to a charter. As set forth in the charter, management of
the Company is responsible for the preparation, presentation and integrity of its financial statements, accounting and financial reporting principles, and internal controls and procedures designed to
assure compliance with accounting standards and applicable laws and regulations. The Company's independent registered public accounting firm is responsible for auditing the Company's financial
statements and expressing an opinion as to their conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP"), and for reviewing the Company's unaudited interim
financial statements. The Audit Committee reviews and reassesses the adequacy of its charter on an annual basis. It is not the Audit Committee's duty or responsibility to conduct auditing or
accounting reviews or procedures. However, the Audit Committee will take the appropriate actions to set an overall corporate "standard" for quality financial reporting, sound business risk practices,
and ethical behavior. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Audit Committee makes recommendations to the Board with respect to the selection and compensation of the Company's independent registered public accounting firm, the scope of the
annual audits, and the fees to be paid to the independent registered public accounting firm. In connection with the decision regarding whether to re-appoint the independent auditor each year (subject
to stockholder ratification), the Audit Committee conducts an annual assessment of the independent auditor's performance, including with respect to the independent auditor's qualifications and
experience, the communication and interactions with the auditor over the course of the previous year and the auditor's independence, objectivity and professional skepticism. In addition, the Audit
Committee monitors the performance and independence of the Company's independent registered public accounting firm and approves all services provided to the Company by the independent registered
public accounting firm. The Audit Committee consults with and reviews recommendations made by the independent registered public accounting firm with respect to financial statements, financial records,
and financial controls of the Company. The Audit Committee meets with management periodically to consider the adequacy of the Company's internal controls and discusses with management the Company's
disclosure controls and procedures. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Board, in its business judgment, has determined that each of the three directors on the Audit Committee is independent as required by Rule&nbsp;5605(c)(2)(A) of the listing
standards of the NASDAQ. In addition, the Board has determined that each member of the Audit Committee is financially literate and at least one of the Audit Committee members, Mr.&nbsp;Rau, is an
audit committee financial expert as defined by SEC rules and regulations. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In

Compensation of Directors  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company's compensation program for non-employee directors consists of two elements of compensation: meeting fees and restricted stock or
restricted stock unit awards. Each non-employee director is entitled to a fee of $1,000 for each Board meeting attended and $1,000 for each in-person committee meeting that is not held on the same day
as a Board meeting. Mr.&nbsp;Bressner, in his role as Chairman of the Audit Committee, receives $12,000 per year in addition to the meeting fees and restricted stock or restricted stock unit awards. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Company also makes annual awards of restricted stock or restricted stock units, with each such unit representing a contingent right to receive one share of common stock upon vesting,
to non-employee directors under the 2009 Plan. The number of shares underlying such annual awards are calculated based upon the price of the Company's common stock at the close of business on the
first business day of each calendar year and such shares vest on the last business day of such calendar year. A director who resigns during the course of the year will vest in and receive a pro rata
portion of the shares that he or she otherwise would have vested in and received had no such resignation occurred, based on the number of days served during the applicable calendar year. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;With
respect to the fiscal year ended September&nbsp;30, 2015, the Company's common stock closed at a price of $3.25 per share on January&nbsp;2, 2015. Accordingly, each non-employee
director (other than Mr.&nbsp;Robert Mionis, a former director of the Company) received a grant of 12,307 shares of restricted stock for service during the calendar year ended December&nbsp;31,
2015 which vested on January&nbsp;4, 2016. As a result of his resignation from the Board effective July&nbsp;31, 2015, and pursuant to the Company's current compensation program for non-employee
directors, Mr.&nbsp;Mionis received a pro rata portion of such award based upon his service during calendar year 2015. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;With
respect to the fiscal year ended September&nbsp;30, 2016, the Company's common stock closed at a price of $2.81 per share on January&nbsp;4, 2016. Accordingly, each non-employee
director (other than Mr.&nbsp;Carolin) received a grant of 14,234 restricted stock units on November&nbsp;12, 2015 for service during the calendar year ended December&nbsp;31, 2016.
Mr.&nbsp;Carolin, who was appointed to the Board in April 2016, received a pro rata grant of 10,179 restricted stock units on September&nbsp;26, 2016. All such restricted stock units granted to
each non-employee director vested in full on January&nbsp;2, 2017. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
addition, all directors are reimbursed for reasonable travel and lodging expenses actually incurred in connection with required attendance at Board meetings. </FONT></P>

What the Company's Executive Compensation Program is Designed to Reward  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Overall, the Company's executive compensation program is designed to reward the contributions of each individual executive officer to
shareholder value and to provide sufficient incentives to executive officers to ensure their dedication to the Company. As discussed further below, the Company seeks to achieve these goals by
providing sufficient base salaries to compensate executives for their day-to-day performance of their duties and awarding cash bonuses when the executive attains the personal or corporate goals and
objectives established by the Company. Also, from time to time, the Company grants equity-based awards when it believes that such equity awards will further align the interests of executive officers
with those of the Company's shareholders and provide an additional incentive to executive officers to contribute to the achievement of the Company's financial and strategic objectives. </FONT></P>

Process for Setting Total Compensation  </I></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Generally, upon hiring or promoting a named executive officer, the Compensation Committee sets the initial levels of base salary and other
compensation on the basis of subjective factors, including experience, individual achievements and level of responsibility assumed at the Company, and may consider market compensation practices from
time to time. Actual base salaries, cash bonuses, and equity-based awards for each named executive officer may be adjusted from year to year based upon each named executive officer's annual review and
level of attainment of personal and corporate goals and objectives, including Company financial performance, shareholder return, and such other factors as the Compensation Committee deems appropriate
and in the best interests of the Company's shareholders. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Each
named executive officer's annual review is a subjective process whereby the Chief Executive Officer or the Compensation Committee (as applicable, as described below) evaluates
various factors relevant to the named executive officer's contributions to the Company, such as the executive's role in the development and execution of strategic plans, leadership skills, motivation
and involvement in
industry groups. The weight given to such factors may vary from one named executive officer to another. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Compensation Committee seeks recommendations from the Chief Executive Officer regarding changes to or increases in the overall compensation level or any particular element of
compensation for the other named executive officers. In addition, the Chief Executive Officer is principally responsible for reviewing each other named executive officer's performance, and for making
recommendations for the Company's compensation plan for such executive officer for the following fiscal year. The Compensation Committee reviews the recommendations of the Chief Executive Officer in

Executive Officer. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Historically,
the Compensation Committee has not retained an outside consultant or advisor to advise it regarding the Company's executive compensation program. The Compensation Committee
did not retain such consultant or advisor for fiscal year 2016. The Compensation Committee also did not consider any peer groups or engage in benchmarking for setting compensation levels for fiscal
year 2016. </FONT></P>

Consideration of Shareholder Advisory Vote on Executive Compensation  </I></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company currently provides its shareholders with the opportunity to cast an advisory vote on executive compensation (a "say-on-pay
proposal") once every three (3)&nbsp;years. At the Company's annual meeting of shareholders held in 2014, a substantial majority of the votes cast on the say-on-pay proposal at that meeting were
voted in favor of the proposal. The Compensation Committee believes that this voting result affirms shareholders' support of the Company's approach to executive compensation and did not materially
change its approach in fiscal years 2014, 2015 or 2016. The Compensation Committee will consider the outcome of this year's say-on-pay vote when making future compensation decisions for the named
executive officers. Following this year's vote, the next time the Company is scheduled to hold a say-on-pay vote is subject to the vote at the Annual Meeting regarding the future frequency of the
Company's say-on-pay vote. </FONT></P>

Elements of Compensation  </B></FONT></P>

</UL>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
determining the different elements of compensation to provide to the named executive officers, the Compensation Committee does not adhere to a specific allocation between short-term
and long-term compensation, or between cash and non-cash compensation. Instead, the Compensation Committee determines the elements of compensation in a manner designed to reward strong financial
performance, provide overall compensation opportunities that are sufficient to attract and retain highly skilled named executive officers and ensure that named executive officers' interests are
aligned with those of the Company's shareholders. This may result in the named executive officers receiving all cash compensation in some years (through base salary and annual bonuses) and a
combination of cash and equity-based compensation in other years (through base salary, annual bonuses and equity awards). </FONT></P>

Base Salary  </I></FONT></P>

</UL>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company pays base salaries to named executive officers because the Company believes that base salaries are essential to recruiting and
retaining qualified executives. In addition, base salaries create an incentive for named executive officers to make meaningful contributions to the Company's success because they are subject to
increase based on the executive's performance. The Compensation Committee sets the initial base salary level upon the hire or promotion of a named executive officer and may incorporate base salary
into related employment contracts. Base salary levels are determined initially based on the named executive officer's previous experience and employment, and the named executive officer's expected
duties and responsibilities with respect to the Company. Thereafter, the Compensation Committee may increase a named executive officer's base salary each year based on the results of the named
executive officer's annual review (which is conducted by the Chief Executive Officer for each of the other named executive officers and by the Compensation Committee for the Chief Executive Officer),
and based on the Compensation Committee's subjective assessment of the Company's overall performance during the preceding year. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Compensation Committee determined that there would be no increases in the base salaries of the named executive officers during fiscal year 2016. </FONT></P>

Annual Bonus Compensation  </I></FONT></P>

</UL>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Compensation Committee retains discretion to grant bonus compensation to the named executive officers and other employees of the Company
outside of the Bonus Plan. From time to time the Company may award discretionary annual bonuses to the named executive officers and may agree, in hiring or promoting a named executive officer, to a
target bonus opportunity, expressed as a percentage of base salary, in any case, to be paid only if the Company determines that the Company has attained its financial performance goals or other
objectives. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Named
executive officers did not receive any discretionary bonuses for fiscal year 2016. </FONT></P>

Equity Compensation  </I></FONT></P>

</UL>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company awards equity-based compensation to named executive officers in order to provide a link between the long-term results achieved for
its shareholders and the rewards provided to named executive officers, thereby ensuring that such officers have a continuing stake in the Company's long-term success. Historically, equity-based
compensation has been provided to named executive officers in the form of stock options (see "Equity Compensation Plan Information" section above). Such awards are made at the discretion of the
Compensation Committee and are not timed or coordinated with the release of material, non-public information. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;No
equity awards were granted to any named executive officers during fiscal year 2016. </FONT></P>

Perquisites  </I></FONT></P>

</UL>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In fiscal year 2016, the Company provided certain personal benefits to the Chief Executive Officer, as summarized below. The aggregate
incremental cost to the Company of the perquisites received by Mr.&nbsp;Hedrick is included in the Summary Compensation Table, below. The Company has in past years, with the approval of the
Independent Directors, permitted the Company's Chief Executive Officer to use the Company's corporate aircraft for personal travel and to use a corporate automobile. The Compensation Committee
believes that use of the Company's aircraft and the automobile represent valuable perquisites for the Chief Executive Officer and is appropriate considering his position and contributions to the
Company. </FONT></P>

known as the IS&amp;S 401(k) Plan (the "Savings Plan"). The Savings Plan is a voluntary contributory plan under which employees may elect to defer compensation for federal income tax purposes under
Section&nbsp;401(k) of the Code. The Company makes a matching contribution to the Savings Plan at one half of each participant's deferral rate, limited to a maximum contribution of 2% of base salary
and subject to limitations imposed by the Internal Revenue Code. </FONT></P>

Employment Agreements  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;It is the Company's general philosophy that all of the Company's employees should be "at will" employees, thereby allowing both the Company and
the employee to terminate the employment relationship at any time and without restriction or financial obligation. However, in certain cases, the Company has determined that, as a retention device and
a means to obtain non-compete arrangements, employment agreements are appropriate. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Company entered into an employment agreement with Dr.&nbsp;Askarpour on February&nbsp;14, 2012 in connection with his promotion to the position of President of the Company. The
initial term of the employment agreement began on April&nbsp;1, 2012 and ended on March&nbsp;31, 2013. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, the term extends for one additional year each
subsequent April&nbsp;1 unless either party provides written notice to the other party at least 30&nbsp;days prior to the expiration of the then current term that the term will not be renewed. The
employment agreement provides for a base salary of $300,000 per year, which the Company determined to be appropriate given Dr.&nbsp;Askarpour's increased duties and responsibilities as President. If
Dr.&nbsp;Askarpour's employment is terminated by the Company without "cause," then, subject to Dr.&nbsp;Askarpour's execution and non-revocation of a release of claims in favor of the Company, the
Company will continue to pay Dr.&nbsp;Askarpour his base salary at the rate then in effect for a period of six (6)&nbsp;months following his termination date, during which period the Company will
also pay Dr.&nbsp;Askarpour's COBRA premiums. The employment agreement contains covenants restricting Dr.&nbsp;Askarpour's ability to compete with the Company or solicit its employees, other
service providers, or current, former or prospective customers for 12&nbsp;months after the cessation of Dr.&nbsp;Askarpour's employment. The employment agreement also contains standard
confidentiality, assignment of invention and non-disparagement provisions. </FONT></P>

Tax and Accounting Considerations  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company considers tax and accounting implications in determining all elements of its executive compensation program. Section&nbsp;162(m)
of the Code denies a federal income tax deduction for certain compensation exceeding $1,000,000 paid in a taxable year to the Chief Executive Officer or any of the three highest compensated officers
(other than the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer). Certain performance-based compensation is excluded from this deductibility limitation. The Compensation Committee considers the
impact of this deductibility limitation on the compensation that it intends to award, and may structure compensation such that it is deductible if it determines that doing so is in the best interest
of the Company and consistent with the
Company's executive compensation program. The foregoing does not limit the Compensation Committee's discretion to award compensation that is not deductible under Section&nbsp;162(m) of the Code if
it determines that doing so is in the best interest of the Company and consistent with the Company's executive compensation program. Through September&nbsp;30, 2016, Section&nbsp;162(m) of the
Code has not affected the Company's tax deductions. At the present time, the Compensation Committee believes that it is unlikely that the compensation paid to any of the Company's employees in a
taxable year will exceed $1,000,000. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Compensation Committee considers the impact of various forms of compensation on the Company's financial results. In particular, the Compensation Committee considers the potential
impact, on current and future financial results, of all equity compensation that it approves. </FONT></P>

Dr.&nbsp;Askarpour his base salary at the rate then in effect for a period of six (6)&nbsp;months following his termination date, during which period the Company will also pay

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Shareholders wishing to submit proposals for inclusion in the proxy statement for the 2018 Annual Meeting of Shareholders must submit such
proposals to the Company at 720 Pennsylvania Drive, Exton, PA 19341, Attention: Relland M. Winand. In order for the proposal to be included in the proxy statement, the shareholder submitting the
proposal must meet certain eligibility standards and comply with the procedures established by the SEC as set forth in Rule&nbsp;14a-8 of the Exchange Act. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On
May&nbsp;21, 1998, the Securities and Exchange Commission adopted an amendment to Rule&nbsp;14a-4, issued under the Exchange Act. The amendment to Rule&nbsp;14a-4(c)(1) governs
a company's use of discretionary proxy voting authority for a shareholder proposal which the shareholder has not sought to include in the proxy statement. The amendment provides that if a proponent of
a proposal fails to notify a company at least 45&nbsp;days prior to the month and day of mailing of the prior year's proxy statement (or any date specified in an advance notice provision), then the
management proxies will be allowed to use their discretionary voting authority when the proposal is raised at the meeting, without any discussion of the matter in the proxy statement. With respect to
the Company's 2018 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, if the Company does not receive notice of a shareholder proposal, which the
shareholder has not previously sought to include in the proxy statement, by December&nbsp;13, 2017, the management proxies will be allowed to use their discretionary authority. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Company's Amended and Restated Bylaws provide that a shareholder proposal (including a shareholder nomination of a director) must meet certain predetermined requirements in order to
be considered at an annual meeting of the shareholders. In order to be considered, a shareholder's proposal must be made in writing and delivered to, or mailed and received at, the Company's principal
executive offices not less than one hundred twenty (120)&nbsp;days nor more than one hundred fifty (150)&nbsp;days prior to the date that the Company's proxy statement was released to shareholders
in connection with the previous year's annual meeting of shareholders in the case of an annual meeting that is called for a date that is within thirty (30)&nbsp;days before or after the anniversary
date of the immediately preceding annual meeting of shareholders. However, in the case of an annual meeting that is called for a date that is not within thirty (30)&nbsp;days before or after the
anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting, proposals must be received not later than the close of business on the tenth (10th) day following the day on which notice of the date of
the meeting was mailed or public disclosure of the date of the meeting was made, whichever occurs first. The notice to the Secretary must set forth certain information as specified in the Company's
Amended and Restated Bylaws. In order to be included in the Company's 2018 Annual Meeting proxy statement any stockholder proposal must be received at the address listed above by September&nbsp;29,
2017, but not before August&nbsp;30, 2017, which is 120&nbsp;days and 150&nbsp;days, respectively, prior to the anniversary date of the release of this Proxy Statement. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As
of the date of this Proxy Statement, the Board knows of no other business which may properly be and is likely to be brought before the Annual Meeting. If a shareholder proposal that
was excluded from this Proxy Statement in accordance with Rule&nbsp;14a-8 of the Exchange Act or the Company's Amended and Restated Bylaws is properly brought before the Annual Meeting, it is
intended that the proxy holders will use their discretionary authority to vote the proxies against said proposal. If any other matters should arise at the Annual Meeting, shares of common stock
represented by proxies will be voted at the discretion of the proxy holders. </FONT></P>
