Commenting on the financial results, Mark Hilz, INX's President and CEO, said, “We were very pleased with our revenue performance and overall results for the second quarter. These results were better than the expectations we had when we issued our outlook for the quarter.  Our revenue outlook for the second quarter was $105 million to $110 million.  Revenue came in higher than our expectations at $116.9 million.  Part of this higher than expected revenue was due to a number of transactions closing late in the quarter, some of which we had expected to close in the third quarter.  Our data center solutions practice continues to experience very robust growth and the unified communications solutions practice also experienced strong growth and has recovered nicely after the 2008-2009 recession.  As we had expected and announced with our first quarter results, expenses were extraordinarily high in the second quarter due to two categories of unusual expenses.  We incurred approximately $2.3 million of expenses to third parties related to the financial restatement process that was completed late in the second quarter.  As previously announced, we also recorded a non-cash charge for impairment of goodwill related to our Northern California region.”

The Company believes it now meets all of the listing standards and requirements of NASDAQ and is optimistic that it will achieve a re-listing with the Exchange in the near future.  However, the Company cannot be certain when or if, it will be re-listed.

OUTLOOK:

The following statements made by the Company are “forward-looking statements” and are subject to the Safe Harbor Statement set forth below.

We believe that our efforts towards creating a comprehensive national presence and the continued enhancements of our technology practice areas including network storage, server virtualization, contact center solutions, unified Communications and collaboration including video will result in continued growth opportunities for INX relative to the overall growth of the economy and technology industry.

While we cannot predict future economic conditions or general customer demand with certainty, based on information available to us we currently believe that the segment of the technology industry we operate in will continue to grow in 2011.  In addition, there are several factors specific to our business that we believe will contribute to an improving market for the solutions and services that we provide.  We believe the trend towards data center virtualization and virtual private cloud data center environments will create increasing demand for larger, more powerful servers optimized for a virtualized data center environment, and connected to networked NAS and SAN storage devices using 10 Gigabit Ethernet networking within the data center technology infrastructure market.  We believe the trend towards the use of IP network-based telephony and video communications will continue to create demand for the unified communications and collaboration solutions we provide, and that both of these trends will continue to create increased demand for the network infrastructure solutions that we provide.
 
Now that we are able to discuss GAAP revenue expectations, we plan to return to our former practice of providing a quarterly outlook of GAAP revenue.

We base our outlook for expected future revenue on our current contracts backlog, customer billings, recent contract bookings trends, management’s estimated sales pipeline, and our estimates of product availability from our vendors.

 
 

 
For the third quarter ending September 30, 2011 we currently expect:

 
·
Total revenue of $87 million to $93 million, which would represent an increase of 2.5% to 9.5% compared to the prior year period
 
·
Services revenue of $11.5 million to $12.5 million, which would represent an increase of 5.6% to 14.8% compared to the prior year period.
 
·
Approximately $400,000 in elevated costs related to enhanced auditing and internal controls over financial reporting remediation.  Although restatement costs were fully recognized by the end of the second quarter, we expect to have elevated costs for the balance of the year related to a higher level of auditing, remediation costs related to our weaknesses in internal control and duplicated financial resources as we transition our financial functions to our corporate headquarters.

Commenting on the Company's outlook, Mark Hilz, INX's President and CEO, said, “Our sales pipeline coming into the third quarter was strong in spite of the higher than anticipated bookings in the second quarter.  However, some of the unusually strong bookings and revenue in the second quarter did come at the expense of the third quarter.  In addition, we expect that the tension surrounding the recent debt ceiling debate and, recent worries over the economy have caused some customers to delay moving forward with projects. Therefore we are being a little more cautious in terms of our expectations for the third quarter.  On the expense side, although costs related to outside third parties involved with the accounting restatement have decreased substantially, we expect to continue to incur higher than normal expenses. These increased costs are due to more extensive quarterly reviews by our external auditors, certain internal costs related to remediating internal control weaknesses as well as costs related to transitioning our financial reporting to Dallas.  We expect these expenses will be approximately $400,000 higher than what we would normally expect in the third quarter, and to decrease as we move forward into the fourth quarter."

ABOUT NON-GAAP MEASURES:

In its communications with investors, the Company references certain non-GAAP financial measures, which differ from GAAP measurements.  The Company uses the term EBITDA which is calculated as GAAP net income plus net interest income/expense, income tax expense/benefit, and depreciation and amortization.  The Company also uses the term Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA which is calculated as EBITDA plus non-cash equity compensation expense, non-cash asset impairment charges, adjustments to estimated contingent purchase consideration, and discontinued operations.  The Company believes that providing these non-GAAP measures in its communications with investors is useful to investors for a number of reasons. These non-GAAP measures provide a consistent basis of presentation for investors to understand the Company’s financial performance in comparison to historical periods using the same methodology and information that the Company’s management uses to evaluate the Company’s performance. A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP basis can be found below (amounts in thousands except share and per share amounts).
