INX Inc. (OTC: INXI; the "Company”; or "INX”) today announced preliminary financial results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2011. The results are preliminary and subject to change until the Company files its Form 10-Q.

FINANCIAL RESULTS:

For the quarter ended March 31, 2011 compared to the same period in the prior year:

• Total revenue increased 12.7% to $79.0 million from $70.0 million.
• Product revenue increased 12.0% to $68.2 million from $60.9 million, with gross profit margin on product revenue increasing to 18.8% compared to 18.0%.
• Service revenue increased 17.6% to $10.8 million from $9.1 million, with gross profit margin on service revenue increasing to 21.3% compared to 17.3%.
• Gross profit on total revenue increased 20.5% to $15.1 million compared to $12.5 million, with gross profit margin on total revenue increasing to 19.1%, compared to 17.9%.
• Operating loss was a loss of $3.6 million compared to a loss of $638,000 for the prior year same period.
• Net loss was $1.5 million compared to $547,000 for the prior year same period.
• Diluted net loss per share was $0.16 per share compared to $0.06 per share.
• Non-GAAP EBITDA was $2.6 million loss compared to $487,000. During the 2011 quarterly period the Company incurred $2.7 million of costs associated with the restatement effort. Exclusive of these items non-GAAP EBITDA would have been $100,000.

Commenting on the Company's first quarter 2011 results, Mark Hilz, INX's President and CEO, said "Our revenue and overall results were in-line with our expectations for the first quarter. Customer demand continued at a good pace after a very strong 2010. While total revenue increased 12.7%, services revenue increased 17.6% and gross margin percentage on both products and services increased, resulting in an overall gross profit increase of 20.5%. Expenses were extraordinarily high for the first quarter due to the intense efforts applied to the financial restatement process and due to operational investments we are making for future sales growth and improving our accounting systems and processes. Expenses for the quarter included $2.7 million of expenses related to the restatement. In spite of the headwind created by the restatement we were able to continue building our pipeline of opportunities during the first quarter.”

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 these trends and the trends in the way data centers are transitioning to a virtualized environment 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. For a two quarter transitional period through June 30, 2011, we will continue to provide guidance in the form of product order bookings.

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 second quarter ended June 30, 2011 we currently expect:

• Total revenue of $105 million to $110 million, which would represent an increase of 25% to 31% compared to the prior year period
• Services revenue of $11 million to $12 million, which would represent an increase of 12% to 23% compared to the prior year period.
• Product bookings, which we believe provide a near-term indication of general customer demand, increased by 52% compared to the prior year period.
• Approximately $2.3 million in costs related to the restatement.
• We expect to record a non-cash charge of approximately $1.1 million for impairment related to goodwill and other intangible assets.

Commenting on the Company's outlook, Mark Hilz, INX's President and CEO, said "Our sales pipeline continued to strengthen during the second quarter, and bookings and billings were much better than expected. On the expense side, we continued to have substantial expenses related to the restatement which was completed in the second quarter, and related to operational investments for future growth and improvements in our accounting controls, processes and procedures. Expenses, as we stated earlier, will be elevated in the second quarter as we develop and maintain new internal controls, processes and procedures related to managing our financial reporting effectively and efficiently on a timely basis. We expect these costs to decline as we progress throughout the next several quarters.”

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).
