Q2 2008 Highlights:

-- Cash and investments increase by approximately $1 million during Q2 2008, with no long-term debt

-- Net loss of ($0.00) per share in Q2 2008 compared to net loss of ($0.15) in Q2 2007

-- Net income excluding non-cash equity compensation and divested businesses was $0.01 per share in Q2 2008 compared to net loss of ($0.01) per share in Q2 2007

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 23, 2008--iGo, Inc. (Nasdaq:IGOI), a leading provider of innovative portable power and computing solutions, today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2008. Total revenue was $18.6 million in the second quarter of 2008, compared with revenue of $19.5 million in the second quarter of 2007.

Excluding revenues related to business lines divested during and subsequent to the end of the first quarter of 2007 (handheld and expansion/docking), total revenues were $16.8 million in the second quarter of 2008, compared to $17.6 million in the same quarter of the prior year. According to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States (U.S. GAAP), iGo must consolidate the operating results of Mission Technology Group, the acquirer of the Company's expansion/docking business, into its financial results until such time as the Company's financial interest in the performance of Mission Technology Group no longer meets the criteria for consolidation.

Net loss was $66,000, or ($0.00) per share, in the second quarter of 2008, compared with a net loss of $4.8 million, or ($0.15) per share, in the same quarter of the prior year.

Excluding non-cash compensation expense and the operating results of the divested businesses, net income was $173,000, or $0.01 per share, in the second quarter of 2008, compared to a net loss of $326,000, or ($0.01) per share, in the second quarter of 2007. The net loss for the second quarter of 2007 also excludes charges recorded for obsolete inventory and restructuring expense. A detailed reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial results, including the impact of the charges for obsolete inventory and restructuring expense recorded in the second quarter of 2007, is provided in the financial tables at the end of this release.

Michael D. Heil, President and Chief Executive Officer of iGo, commented, "We had another quarter of positive cash generation and built our cash and investments balance to more than $27 million. Revenue from sales of power products, excluding the OEM channel that we no longer sell into, increased approximately 18% over the prior year. This revenue growth is being driven by solid sales trends in the retail channel, particularly in the high-power products area."

Second Quarter Product Area Highlights

-- Unit sales of universal power products for high-power mobile electronic (ME) devices, such as portable computers, were approximately 322,000 units in the second quarter of 2008.

-- Unit sales of universal power adapters for low-power ME devices, such as mobile phones, PDAs, MP3 players and digital cameras, were approximately 759,000 units in the second quarter of 2008.

-- Revenue from the sale of power products for high-power ME devices was $11.5 million in the second quarter of 2008, an increase of 4.3% from $11.0 million in the same period of the prior year. An increase in sales through the retail channel offset a decline in sales through the OEM channel.

-- Revenue from the sale of power products for low-power ME devices was $5.2 million in the second quarter of 2008, a decrease of 7.0% from $5.6 million in the same period of the prior year.

-- Revenue from the sale of all power products was $16.7 million in the second quarter of 2008, compared with $16.6 million in the same period of the prior year. Power product revenue included $2.5 million from sales to OEM customers in the second quarter of 2007, compared to $43,000 in the second quarter of 2008. Excluding sales to OEM customers, power product revenue increased 17.9% in the second quarter of 2008, compared to the same quarter of 2007.

Financial Highlights

Gross margin was 29.1% in the second quarter of 2008, compared to 10.9% in the second quarter of 2007. Excluding the operations of the divested businesses and charges for excess and obsolete inventory, gross margin was 27.2% in the second quarter of 2008, compared to 32.3% in the second quarter of 2007. The decline in gross margin is primarily attributable to increasing pricing pressure in the high-power retail channel.

Total operating expenses in the second quarter of 2008 were $5.8 million, compared with $8.9 million in the second quarter of 2007. Excluding non-cash equity compensation expense, the operations of the divested businesses and severance charges, operating expenses were $4.7 million in the second quarter of 2008, or 28.0% of revenue (excluding revenue from divested businesses), compared to $6.4 million in the second quarter of 2007, or 36.4% of revenue (excluding revenue from divested businesses). The decline in operating expenses as a percentage of revenue reflects the impact of the lower cost structure following the restructuring actions taken during 2007.

Excluding assets of the divested businesses, the Company's balance sheet remained strong with $27.5 million in cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments at June 30, 2008. The Company continued to have no long-term debt and had a book value per share of $1.19 based on 31.9 million common shares issued and outstanding at June 30, 2008.

Outlook

The Company has elected not to provide U.S. GAAP-based financial guidance for the third quarter of 2008 because Mission Technology Group does not prepare financial forecasts. However, Mission Technology Group's revenue and operating results for the third quarter of 2008 are not expected to be more or less significant to the Company's consolidated financial results than they were for the second quarter of 2008.

On a non-GAAP basis, which excludes revenue from divested businesses, the Company believes that revenue will range from $17 million to $18 million in the third quarter of 2008. The Company also believes that net income, excluding the operating results of divested businesses and non-cash equity compensation, will be approximately breakeven.

"We expect the positive sales trends in the retail channel to continue into the third quarter," said Mr. Heil. "Our stable revenue base should enable the Company to be at or near profitability as we continue to invest in initiatives that can generate higher levels of growth in the future."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Although the Company consolidates the operating results of Mission Technology Group, the acquirer of its docking/expansion business, for accounting purposes under U.S. GAAP, the Company believes that the discussion of operating results excluding the handheld and expansion/docking lines of business and non-cash equity compensation allows management and investors to evaluate and compare the Company's operating performance on a more meaningful and consistent manner. In addition, management uses these measures internally for evaluation of the performance of the business, including the allocation of resources. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance in accordance with GAAP.
