Stock-Based Compensation. The Company measures and recognizes compensation expense for all stock-based payments at fair value using the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the weighted average fair value of options and employee stock purchase plan rights. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense on a straight-line method over the requisite service period of the award.

There were 322,000 stock option awards granted during the six months ended June 30, 2011, and the Company estimated the fair value of these awards using the following weighted average assumptions: expected life of 4.3 years, expected volatility of 70%, dividend yield of 0% and risk-free interest rate of 1.81%. The total fair value of stock option awards granted during the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was approximately $737,000 and $745,000, respectively. The Company estimated the fair value of stock-based rights granted during the six months ended June 30, 2011 under the employee stock purchase plan using the following weighted average assumptions: expected life of 1 year, expected volatility of 30%, dividend yield of 0% and risk-free interest rate of 0.30%. The total fair value of stock-based rights granted under the employee stock purchase plan during the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was approximately $63,000 and $80,000, respectively. Total stock-based compensation expense recorded for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, was $227,000 and $372,000, respectively, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 was $289,000 and $402,000, respectively. The total option exercises in the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 were 8,000 and 1,617,000, for which the Company received proceeds of $21,000 and $2,936,000. Total option exercises in the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 were 139,000 and 328,000, for which the Company received proceeds of $76,000 and $614,000.

Dividends Paid. On February 22, 2011, the Board of Directors approved a special $2.00 per common share dividend totaling $31,335,000. The dividend was accrued at March 31, 2011 and paid on May 2, 2011.

Net Income (Loss) Per Share. Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average shares outstanding and excludes any dilutive effects of stock options and warrants. Diluted net income (loss) per share gives effect to all diluted potential common shares outstanding during the period. During the three months ended June 30, 2010, 1,437,000 stock options and warrants were included in the computation of diluted net income (loss) per share. Due to the net loss incurred during the three months ended June 30, 2011, all stock options were anti-dilutive. Options and warrants to purchase approximately 710,000 and 481,000 shares of common stock with weighted average exercise prices of $6.56 and $7.73 were outstanding at June 30, 2011 and 2010 and were not included in the computation of common stock equivalents for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 because their exercise prices were higher than the average fair market value of the common shares during the reporting period. Options and warrants to purchase approximately 512,000 and 459,000 shares of common stock with weighted average exercise prices of $7.25 and $7.87 were outstanding at June 30, 2011 and 2010 and were not included in the computation of common stock equivalents for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 because their exercise prices were higher than the average fair market value of the common shares during the reporting period.

2. Restatement. As announced on August 3, 2011, the Company is restating its financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2010 and the quarter ended March 31, 2011. The restatement for 2010 is expected to decrease the previously reported amounts of deferred tax assets and shareholders’ equity by approximately $1,000,000 as of December 31, 2010, and decrease 2010 net income by the same amount, with a proportionate decrease in earnings per share. The amounts shown in this filing in the Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2010 are adjusted to what the Company currently expects will be the adjusted amounts upon completion of the restatement as of and for the year ended December 31, 2010, but the final amounts could vary from these estimates.

3. Commitments and Contingencies.

Legal. On September 23, 2004, the Company brought suit against News America and Albertson’s Inc. (Albertson’s) in Federal District Court in Minneapolis, Minnesota, for violations of federal and state antitrust and false advertising laws, alleging that News America has acquired and maintained monopoly power through various wrongful acts designed to harm the Company in the in-store advertising and promotion products and services market. The suit sought injunctive relief sufficient to prevent further antitrust injury and an award of treble damages for the harm caused to the Company. On September 20, 2006, the State of Minnesota through its Attorney General intervened as a co-plaintiff in the business disparagement portion of the case. In December 2006, News America filed counterclaims in the case that included claims of alleged interference with contracts and alleged libel and slander against Insignia and one of its officers. On February 4, 2008, the Court approved a consent decree entered into by News America and the State of Minnesota under which News America agreed to not violate Minnesota’s statutes prohibiting commercial disparagement. On July 29, 2008, the Company and Albertson’s entered into a settlement agreement and mutual release, in which they each agreed to release all claims against the other, and the Company agreed to dismiss its lawsuit against Albertson’s.

On February 7, 2011, trial in the Company’s lawsuit against News America commenced in U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota. On February 9, 2011, the Company and News America entered into a Settlement Agreement to settle the lawsuit. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, News America paid the Company $125,000,000, and the Company paid News America $4,000,000 in exchange for a 10-year arrangement to sell signs with price into News America’s network of retailers as News America’s exclusive agent. The Company believes the $4,000,000 represents the fair value of this arrangement and is amortizing this amount on a straight-line basis over the 10-year term of the arrangement. Amortization expense related to this arrangement was $83,000 for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2011. The Company expects amortization expense of $400,000 per year for the next five years related to this arrangement. The definitive agreement for the 10-year arrangement was approved by the U.S. District Court on June 6, 2011 and signed by both parties. The Settlement Agreement included the dismissal with prejudice of the Company’s lawsuit against News America. Certain issues have arisen in connection with the implementation of the definitive agreement, which the parties are attempting to resolve.

A reconciliation of the settlement proceeds to the gain from litigation settlement recognized in the statement of operations is as follows:

|  | Three Months Ended June 30 |  |  | Six Months Ended June 30 |
|  | 2011 |  |  | 2010 |  |  | 2011 |  |  | 2010 |
Settlement proceeds |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | 125,000,000 |  |  | $ | — |
Less contingent attorney's fees |  |  | — |  |  |  | — |  |  |  | (31,250,000 | ) |  |  | — |
Less bonuses paid to employees |  |  | — |  |  |  | — |  |  |  | (3,988,000 | ) |  |  | — |
Gain from litigation settlement, net |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | 89,762,000 |  |  | $ | — |

Legal fees of $1,018,000 were incurred in connection with the lawsuit as the Company prepared for trial, worked through settlement discussions, and post-settlement activities. Additionally, during the six months ended June 30, 2011, a contingent fee payment of $31,250,000 was made to the Company’s lead trial counsel out of the settlement proceeds. Management does not expect significant legal fees and expenses in future periods after post-settlement activities are concluded. Legal fees and expenses are expensed as incurred and are included in general and administrative expenses in the statements of operations, except for the contingent fee payment which was included as a reduction of the gain from the litigation settlement.

The Company is subject to various other legal proceedings in the normal course of business. Management believes the outcome of these proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

4. Income Taxes. As a result of the taxable income generated by the settlement proceeds, $5,385,000 of the deferred tax assets were utilized during the first six months of 2011. For the three months ended June 30, 2011, an income tax benefit was recorded of $444,000, or 39.7% of loss before income taxes. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, the provision for income taxes was $33,507,000, or 38.6% of income before income taxes. The income tax provision (benefit) during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, is comprised of federal and state taxes. The primary difference between the Company’s June 30, 2011, effective tax rate and the statutory federal rate is due to state income taxes. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, no provision for income taxes or tax benefit was recorded as a full valuation allowance existed on the Company’s deferred tax assets.

As of June 30, 2011, the Company had unrecognized tax benefits totaling $353,000 excluding interest which relate to state nexus issues (included in long-term liabilities). The amount of the unrecognized tax benefits, if recognized, that would affect the effective income tax rates of future periods is $353,000. Due to the current statute of limitations regarding the unrecognized tax benefits, the unrecognized tax benefits and associated interest is reviewed quarterly.

5. Concentrations. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, Nestle Co., Valassis Sales and Marketing Services, Inc., and Hormel Foods Corp., accounted for 31%, 15%, and 10%, respectively, of the Company’s total net sales. At June 30, 2011, these customers accounted for 21%, 11%, and 14%, respectively, of the Company’s total accounts receivable. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, Valassis Sales and Marketing Services, Inc., General Mills, Inc., and Nestle Co. accounted for 20%, 19% and 17%, respectively, of the Company’s total net sales. At June 30, 2010, these customers represented 26%, 13% and 15%, respectively, of the Company’s total accounts receivable.

Although there are a number of customers that the Company sells to, the loss of a major customer could adversely affect operating results. Additionally, the loss of a major retailer from the Company’s retail network could adversely affect operating results.

6. New Accounting Pronouncements. In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2009-13, Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements—a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force, that provides amendments to the criteria for separating consideration in multiple-deliverable arrangements. As a result of these amendments, multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements will be separated in more circumstances than under previous U.S. GAAP. The ASU does this by establishing a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable. The selling price used for each deliverable will be based on vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) if available, third-party evidence if VSOE is not available, or estimated selling price if neither VSOE nor third-party evidence is available. A vendor will be required to determine its best estimate of selling price in a manner that is consistent with that used to determine the price to sell the deliverable on a standalone basis. This ASU also eliminates the residual method of allocation and will require that arrangement consideration be allocated at the inception of the arrangement to all deliverables using the relative selling price method, which allocates any discount in the overall arrangement proportionally to each deliverable based on its relative selling price. This standard became effective for the Company in January 2011 and did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.

In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-14, Certain Revenue Arrangements That Include Software Elements — a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force. This ASU removes tangible products containing software components and nonsoftware components that function together to deliver the tangible product’s essential functionality from the scope of the software revenue guidance in Subtopic 985-605 of the Codification. Additionally, ASU 2009-14 provides guidance on how a vendor should allocate arrangement consideration to deliverables in an arrangement that includes both tangible products and software that is not essential to the product’s functionality. This standard became effective for the Company in January 2011 and did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.

In December 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic 820 “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements.” This ASU requires new disclosures and clarifies some existing disclosure requirements about fair value measurement as set forth in Codification Subtopic 820-10. The FASB’s objective is to improve these disclosures and, thus, increase the transparency in financial reporting. Several of the new disclosures were effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, with the remaining new disclosures effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2010. The Company adopted the amended guidance and it did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In July 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-20, Receivables Topic 310 “Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses,” to enhance the disclosures required for financing receivables (for example, loans, trade accounts receivable, notes receivable, and receivables relating to a lessor’s leveraged, direct financing, and sales-type leases) and allowances for credit losses. The amended disclosures are designed to provide more information to financial statement users regarding the credit quality of a creditor’s financing receivables and the adequacy of its allowance for credit losses. The amended guidance is effective for period-end balances beginning with the first interim or annual reporting period ending on or after December 15, 2010. The amended guidance is effective for activity during a reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The Company adopted the amended guidance and it did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) — Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. This ASU provides a consistent definition of fair value between U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. Additionally, the ASU changes certain fair value measurement principles and expands the disclosures for fair value measurements. ASU 2011-04 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011 and is to be applied prospectively. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Net income (loss) |  |  | (13.4 | )% |  |  | 7.9 | % |  |  | 533.4 | % |  |  | 1.5 | %

Decreased net sales in the first six months of 2011 compared to the first six months of 2010, combined with the effect of fixed costs in the costs of sales, resulted in a decrease in gross profit in the 2011 period. The decrease in gross profit and increased operating expenses in the 2011 period were dramatically offset by the litigation settlement, resulting in significant net income in 2011 as compared to the net income in the 2010 period. See the non-GAAP financial measures information which follows later in this section for a comparison of the 2011 and 2010 periods’ non-GAAP net income (loss).

Three and Six Months ended June 30, 2011 Compared to Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2010

Net Sales. Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2011, decreased 39.6% to $5,026,000 compared to $8,326,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010. Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2011, decreased 29.8 % to $9,973,000 compared to $14,209,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010.

Service revenues from our POPSign programs for the three months ended June 30, 2011, decreased 41.2% to $4,446,000 compared to $7,562,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease of 42.2% in the number of signs placed, which was partially offset by a 3.5% increase in the average sign price. Service revenues from our POPSign programs for the six months ended June 30, 2011, decreased 30.5% to $8,820,000 compared to $12,699,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The decrease in service revenues for the six-month period was due primarily to a 28.1% decrease in the number of signs placed combined with a 3.6% decrease in the average sign price. The decrease in the number of signs displayed in the 2011 periods was primarily related to the expiration of the Kroger retailer contract at the end of 2010. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, revenue recognized by advertising in Kroger stores was $2,901,000 and $4,884,000, respectively.

Gross profit as a percentage of product sales was 34.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to 32.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The increase was primarily due to higher margin sales partially offset by the effect of fixed costs on lower total net sales.

Operating Expenses

Selling. Selling expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2011, decreased 20.7% to $1,408,000 compared to $1,775,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010. Selling expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2011, decreased 13.1% to $2,963,000 compared to $3,411,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010. Decreases in the 2011 periods were primarily due to decreased sales commissions related to decreased POPSign program revenues.

Selling expenses as a percentage of total net sales increased to 28.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared to 21.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2010. Selling expenses as a percentage of total net sales increased to 29.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to 24.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2010.

Marketing. Marketing expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2011, increased 5.4% to $433,000 compared to $411,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010. Marketing expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2011, increased 5.1% to $847,000 compared to $806,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010. Increased expenses in the 2011 periods were primarily the result of increased staffing levels and the related employee benefit costs.

Marketing expenses as a percentage of total net sales increased to 8.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared to 4.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2010. Marketing expenses as a percentage of total net sales increased to 8.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to 5.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The increases in marketing expenses as a percentage of total net sales in the 2011 periods were primarily due to the effect of the increased costs discussed above in combination with decreased sales.

General and administrative. General and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2011, decreased 18.0% to $1,237,000 compared to $1,508,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010. General and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2011, increased 14.3% to $3,263,000 compared to $2,855,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The decrease in the second quarter 2011 period was primarily due to decreased legal expense. The increase in the six month 2011 period was primarily due to increased legal expense, staffing levels and travel related expenses.

General and administrative expenses as a percentage of total net sales increased to 24.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared to 18.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2010. General and administrative expenses as percentage of total net sales increased to 32.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to 20.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The increase in the second quarter 2011 period and in the six month 2011 period were primarily due to the increased costs discussed above in relation to decreased sales.

Legal fees and expenses were $305,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $566,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010. Legal fees and expenses were $1,294,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $1,089,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The legal fees in each quarter were incurred primarily in connection with the News America lawsuit described in Note 3 to the financial statements. Management does not expect significant legal fees and expenses in future periods in connection with post-settlement activities.

Gain from litigation settlement. On February 9, 2011, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement in its lawsuit against News America. As part of the Settlement Agreement, News America paid the Company $125,000,000, and the Company paid News America $4,000,000 in exchange for a 10-year arrangement to sell signs with price into News America’s network of retailers as News America’s exclusive agent. Netted against this settlement was a contingent fee payment of $31,250,000 to the Company’s lead trial counsel as well as performance bonus payments of $3,988,000 to certain employees in connection with the settlement, resulting in a net pre-tax gain of $89,762,000.

Other Income. Other income for the three months ended June 30, 2011, was $21,000 compared to $3,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010. Other income for the six months ended June 30, 2011, was $42,000 compared to $16,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010. Higher other income in the 2011 periods was primarily due to increased interest income in the 2011 periods as a result of higher cash and cash equivalents balances in the 2011 periods, which was partially offset by lower interest rates.

Income Taxes. As a result of the taxable income generated by the settlement proceeds, $5,385,000 of the deferred tax assets were utilized during the first six months of 2011. For the three months ended June 30, 2011, an income tax benefit was recorded of $444,000, or 39.7% of loss before income taxes. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, the provision for income taxes was $33,507,000, or 38.6% of income before income taxes. The income tax provision (benefit) during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, is comprised of federal and state taxes. The primary difference between the Company’s June 30, 2011, effective tax rate and the statutory federal rate is due to state income taxes. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, no provision for income taxes or tax benefit was recorded as a full valuation allowance existed on the Company’s deferred tax assets.

Net Income (Loss). The net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2011, was $(675,000) compared to a net income of $654,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2011, was $53,198,000 compared to $219,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement the Company’s financial statements presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP), the Company has provided certain non-GAAP financial measures of financial performance in prior public announcements. These non-GAAP measures include:

• | net income (loss) before gain from litigation settlement (net of tax), and
• | net income (loss) before gain from litigation settlement (net of tax) and News America-related legal expense.

The Company’s reference to these non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to results prepared under current accounting standards, but are not a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results.

These non-GAAP measures are provided to enhance investors’ overall understanding of the Company’s current financial performance and ability to generate cash flows. In many cases non-GAAP financial measures are used by analysts and investors to evaluate the Company’s performance. Reconciliation to the nearest GAAP measure can be found in the financial table included below.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company has financed its operations with proceeds from public and private stock sales and sales of its services and products. At June 30, 2011, working capital was $28,381,000 compared to $12,505,000 at December 31, 2010. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments increased $26,592,000 from $13,696,000 at December 31, 2010, to $40,288,000 at June 30, 2011.

Net cash provided by operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2011, was $70,826,000. Net income of $53,198,000, plus non-cash adjustments of $6,013,000 and changes in operating assets and liabilities of $11,615,000 resulted in the $70,826,000 of cash provided by operating activities. The net non-cash adjustments of $6,013,000 consisted of deferred income tax expense, stock-based compensation expense, and depreciation and amortization expense. The most significant component of the $11,615,000 change in operating assets and liabilities was income tax payable. Income tax payable increased by $15,143,000, before the excess tax benefit of $2,240,000 was reclassified to additional paid-in capital, primarily due to taxable income related to the litigation settlement. Accrued retailer payments decreased $1,091,000 primarily related to the payment to one of our retailers, and accrued compensation increased $1,346,000 primarily due to the terms of the performance bonus plan related to the News America settlement, partially offset by decreased accrued commissions. The Company expects accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and deferred revenue to fluctuate during future periods depending on the level of POPSign revenues and related business activity as well as billing arrangements with customers and payment terms with retailers.

Net cash of $4,680,000 was used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2011. Proceeds from the sale of investments were more than offset by the purchase of property and equipment and the payment of $4,000,000 in exchange for a 10-year business arrangement. Proceeds of $500,000 during the six months consisted entirely of redemptions of 6-month certificates of deposit. Capital expenditures of $1,180,000 during the period consisted primarily of the construction in progress of a laser die cutter and related equipment. The Company expects capital expenditures of approximately $1,000,000 as it completes the purchase and installation of the laser die cutter and related equipment.

Net cash of $39,054,000, which included dividends paid of $31,335,000 and an excess tax benefit of $2,240,000, was used in financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2011. The repurchase of common stock of $13,049,000, pursuant to a plan adopted on February 22, 2011, and further amended May 25, 2011, was partially offset by $3,090,000 of proceeds from the issuance of common stock from the exercise of employee stock options and the employee stock purchase plan.

The Company believes that based upon current business conditions, its existing cash balance and future cash from operations will be sufficient for its cash requirements for the remainder of 2011 and for the next twelve months. However, there can be no assurances that this will occur or that the Company will be able to secure additional financing from public or private stock sales or from other financing agreements if needed.

Critical Accounting Policies

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 to the annual financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2010, included in our Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 16, 2011. We believe our most critical accounting policies and estimates include the following:

• | revenue recognition;
• | allowance for doubtful accounts;
• | income taxes; and
• | stock-based compensation.

Statements made in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, in the Company’s other SEC filings, in press releases and in oral statements to shareholders and securities analysts, which are not statements of historical or current facts, are “forward-looking statements.” Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results or performance of the Company to be materially different from the results or performance expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. The words “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “seeks” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date the statement was made. These statements are subject to the risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially and adversely from the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the risks presented in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, and updated in Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Not applicable.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company’s management carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this report, pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. Based upon that evaluation, including the circumstances surrounding the recently announced restatement of the 2010 Form 10-K, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and the Company’s Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of the end of the period covered by this report. Disclosure controls and procedures ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in these reports is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Office and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosures.

(b) Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting, other than the Company’s hiring of a new chief financial officer effective June 13, 2011.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

On September 23, 2004, the Company brought suit against News America and Albertson’s Inc. (Albertson’s) in Federal District Court in Minneapolis, Minnesota, for violations of federal and state antitrust and false advertising laws, alleging that News America has acquired and maintained monopoly power through various wrongful acts designed to harm the Company in the in-store advertising and promotion products and services market. The suit sought injunctive relief sufficient to prevent further antitrust injury and an award of treble damages for the harm caused to the Company. On September 20, 2006, the State of Minnesota through its Attorney General intervened as a co-plaintiff in the business disparagement portion of the case. In December 2006, News America filed counterclaims in the case that included claims of alleged interference with contracts and alleged libel and slander against Insignia and one of its officers. On February 4, 2008, the Court approved a consent decree entered into by News America and the State of Minnesota under which News America agreed to not violate Minnesota’s statutes prohibiting commercial disparagement. On July 29, 2008, the Company and Albertson’s entered into a settlement agreement and mutual release, in which they each agreed to release all claims against the other, and the Company agreed to dismiss its lawsuit against Albertson’s.

On February 7, 2011, trial in the Company’s lawsuit against News America commenced in U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota. On February 9, 2011, the Company and News America entered into a Settlement Agreement to settle the lawsuit. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, News America paid the Company $125,000,000, and the Company paid News America $4,000,000 in exchange for a 10-year arrangement to sell signs with price into News America’s network of retailers as News America’s exclusive agent. The definitive agreement for the 10-year arrangement was approved by the U.S. District Court on June 6, 2011 and signed by both parties. The Settlement Agreement included the dismissal with prejudice of the Company’s lawsuit against News America. Certain issues have arisen in connection with the implementation of the definitive agreement, which the parties are attempting to resolve.

Legal fees of $1,018,000 were incurred in connection with the lawsuit as the Company prepared for trial, worked through settlement discussions, and post-settlement activities. Additionally, during the six months ended June 30, 2011, a contingent fee payment of $31,250,000 was made to the Company’s lead trial counsel out of the settlement proceeds. Management does not expect significant legal fees and expenses in future periods after post-settlement activities are concluded. Legal fees and expenses are expensed as incurred and are included in general and administrative expenses in the statements of operations, except for the contingent fee payment which was included as a reduction of the gain from the litigation settlement.

The Company is subject to various other legal proceedings in the normal course of business. Management believes the outcome of these proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

We described the most significant risk factors applicable to the Company in Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. We believe there have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed on Form 10-K.
