Deliveries for the firm order will occur in the Company's fiscal year 2007 that begins October 1, 2006. Innovative Solutions and Support's President, Roman Ptakowski, today said "Programs of this potential, with approximately 3,500 'Classic' planes currently in operation, should provide long-term opportunities and revenue visibility for years to come as each 'Classic' plane becomes a candidate for the Company's Flat Panel Display System Retrofit Program. The Company's Flat Panel Display System product line or Cockpit/IP is the most timely and cost effective way to upgrade these 'Classic' B-737's with the state-of-the-art technology offered in our systems. This B-737 award is a signal event in that it represents the single largest commercial platform opportunity based on the Company's highly successful B-767 STC STC Supplemental Type Certificate (FAA) STC Society for Technical Communication STC Subject to Change STC Surf the Channel (website) STC Sound Transmission Class STC Singapore Turf Club ."

The Company's backlog at June 30, 2006 is expected to be $32 million, the highest it's been since December, 2004. Flat Panel Display Systems will account for about 70% of the backlog at that time. Looking to the near term, the Company expects revenue in the 3rd quarter ended June 30, 2006 to be between $2.5 and $3.5 million. Revenue in the 4th quarter ended September 30, 2006 is expected to be between $4.0 million and $6.0 million. These amounts are below prior estimates due to the timing of receiving substantial orders that, if received, will represent the second largest quarter in the Company's history. The funding delays associated with these orders are believed to have been cleared and associated programs are expected to be awarded prior to the end of the fiscal year ending September 30, 2006. The timing slip, however, has impacted and reduced revenue in the last half of the fiscal year. While there can be no assurance the Company will be successfully awarded these contracts, the Company expects a record FY 2006 year end backlog, as of September 30, 2006 that will approach $50 million. The majority of this backlog, coupled with additional new business, is expected to be delivered in FY 2007 that begins October 1, 2006.
