LOS ANGELES–(EMWNews)–Innovative Card Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: INVC), developers of the

breakthrough InCard DisplayCardTM security

device for e-banking, e-commerce and data access, today announced second

quarter financial results. The company reported its strongest quarterly

revenue performance to date, taking in $800,209 in the second quarter of

2008, compared with $1,089 in the second quarter of 2007. This revenue

increase was driven by strong quarter-to-quarter sales performance;

second quarter sales revenues quadrupled first quarter results. The

company achieved a 9% reduction in operating expense over the comparable

2007 period, at $2.1 million. After accounting for the revaluation of

warrant liability and interest, InCard lost $800,715 in the second

quarter, or $0.03 per diluted share, as compared with $0.09 per diluted

share in the second quarter of 2007. The backlog at June 30, 2008 was

$1.2 million.

InCard also achieved the strongest six-month revenue numbers in its

history. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, InCard reported revenue

of $1 million, a dramatic increase versus the $2,509 revenue in the

first half of 2007. The company was also able to cut its operating

expenses year over year by 12% for the first half. Cash on hand at June

30, 2008 was $1.7 million, up from $339,600 at year-end 2007. Working

capital was $3.3 million at June 30, 2008, up from a deficit of $2

million at year-end 2007.

“In the past three consecutive quarters, we delivered more than 100,000

InCard DisplayCards to satisfied customers. Through our blue chip list

of credit card manufacturers and digital security providers dedicated to

marketing and distributing the InCard DisplayCard, we have many live

consumer deployments globally including some of the largest banks in the

world, said Steven R. Delcarson, President

and CEO of InCard Technologies. “We are encouraged by our progress, but

are also mindful of challenges yet to be overcome. Our sales team is

targeting ever larger orders and our technical people are working

tirelessly to reduce scrap in an effort to improve our gross margin. In

addition, we continue to work on second-sourcing our components to

reduce manufacturing lead times. We are making progress with these

issues, and expect to beat our second quarter performance in the third

quarter of 2008, despite a month-long summer shut down by one of our key

suppliers. Overall, we are in a much stronger position than at the same

time a year ago, and I am confident that we are moving quickly and

steadily in the right direction.

The success of the InCard DisplayCard parallels several strong global

trends; 33% of adults bank online in the United States alone, and online

transaction volume is growing 27% annually. Fraudsters are taking

advantage of the online channel; phishing attacks cost American

consumers $3.2 billion in 2007 according to Gartner. With annual

identity theft costs pegged at $45 billion, and established payment

account fraud accounting for 5.4 million victims in 2007 according to

Javelin, government regulations and consumer concern are driving

widespread adoption of dual-factor authentication to protect against

online account fraud.

The InCard DisplayCard blends an ultra-portable form factor and strong

one-time passcode security to offer a unique security opportunity that

is a win-win for both the financial institution and the consumer.

According to an Associated Press report in January of 2008, 61% of

Americans are very

or extremely

concerned with online security. Implementing stronger security will

drive adoption of online banking, the most profitable transaction

channel for banks. Each online transaction costs $0.01 versus $0.27 for

ATM transactions and $1.07 for in-person branch transactions. For

high-income professionals, the banks most

profitable customer segment, the need for a convenient new security

measure is especially high. VIPs are three times more likely to be

targeted by fraudsters than other customers according to a recent study

on fraud victims by Experian. Additionally, InCard DisplayCard artwork

is fully customizable, allowing financial institutions to brand valuable

in-hand real estate, unlike traditional, bulky keyfob tokens. Add this

branding capability to the unique one-time passcode function, and the

result is a product that is completely singular among the very

competitive field of VIP payment card product offerings.
