INS Intelligent Systems Corporation

Intelligent Systems Corporation (NYSE MKT:INS) announced today its financial results for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2015.

For the year-to-date period ended September 30, 2015, the company recorded net income attributable to Intelligent Systems Corporation of $17,080,000 ($1.93 per basic share and $1.91 per diluted share), compared to a net loss attributable to Intelligent Systems of $287,000 ($0.03 per basic and diluted share) in the nine month period in 2014. The dramatic change between periods reflects the gain of $18,726,000 on the sale of the company's former ChemFree subsidiary on March 31, 2015. Total revenue grew by 10 percent in the year-to-date period in 2015 compared to the same period in 2014.

As previously announced, the company sold its ChemFree subsidiary on March 31, 2015 for a purchase price of $21,600,000 in an all cash transaction. In accordance with accounting standards, the ChemFree operations have been retroactively classified as discontinued operations for the third quarter and year-to-date periods in 2015 and 2014 and the assets and liabilities associated with the ChemFree business are presented on the balance sheet as single line items titled assets and liabilities from discontinued operations. The company's cash balance at September 30, 2015 was $18,580,000, not including $2,200,000 in restricted cash shown on the balance sheet that is related to certain escrow conditions of the ChemFree sale. Total stockholders' equity was $22,379,000 at September 30, 2015 compared to $6,578,000 at December 31, 2014.

For the three month period ended September 30, 2015, the company recorded net loss attributable to Intelligent Systems of $424,000 ($0.05 per basic and diluted share) compared to net income attributable to Intelligent Systems of $165,000 ($0.02 per basic and diluted share) in the third quarter of 2014. Despite an 11 percent increase in revenue in the third quarter of 2015 as compared to the same quarter last year, the company recorded a loss in the third quarter of 2015 in large part due to higher G&A expenses. In 2014, a significant component of corporate G&A expenses was charged to our former ChemFree subsidiary for services provided by the corporate office. Following the sale of ChemFree in March 2015, corporate activities and resources (and the associated expense) have been re-focused on our continuing operations, primarily our CoreCard business and strategic initiatives, resulting in higher G&A expenses for continuing operations in 2015.

"As we focus on expanding our CoreCard subsidiary's footprint in the FinTech industry, we are building on our significant investment in both the licensed software and processing services operations," commented J. Leland Strange, CEO of Intelligent Systems. "CoreCard continues to systematically add new customers in both lines of business while being open to strategic alternatives to leverage the unique combination of technology, people and capabilities that we bring to the financial transaction processing market."

The company will file its Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2015 with the Securities and Exchange Commission today, November 13, 2015. For additional information about reported results, investors will be able to access the Form 10-Q on the company's website at www.intelsys.com or on the SEC site, www.sec.gov.
