Intrinsyc Reports 2008 First Quarter Financial Results; Record Quarterly Revenue Driven by Strength in Wireless Services while Soleus Remains on Track

Vancouver, BC - (WORLD STOCK WIRE) - May 13, 2008 -- Intrinsyc Software International, Inc. (TSX:ICS), a global wireless software solutions provider, today announced its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2008, reported in United States dollars and in accordance with Canadian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). For comparative purposes, the Company has presented its results compared to the four month transition period ended December 31, 2007 and the three months ended February 28, 2007. As of the first quarter of 2008, the Company has commenced reporting its financial results in United States dollars. As previously reported, Intrinsyc also changed its fiscal year-end from August 31 to December 31.

The Company reported quarterly revenue of $5.6 million, which is an increase of 6% compared to $5.3 million in the four month transition period ended December 31, 2007, and a 41% increase over the same period on a time comparable basis. As compared to the three months ended February 28, 2007, revenue increased by 29%. The increase in revenue was primarily due to demand for the Company's engineering services in addition to revenue attributable to the Soleus software platform product. Gross margin was 46% compared to 36% and 49% in the four month transition period ended December 31, 2007 and the three months ended February 28, 2007, respectively.

"The achievement of record revenue in our wireless engineering services business primarily stems from an expansion of our business engagement with Symbian, as well as growth in our overall wireless services engagements and an increase in our software revenue," stated Glenda Dorchak, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Intrinsyc Software. "Gross margin strengthened substantially during the first quarter of 2008 primarily due to improved engineering efficiencies that resulted in services engagements at higher gross margins. Furthermore, total operating expenses improved as a percent of revenue over the prior period. Overall, we are pleased with a strong start to 2008."

"In the first quarter, we executed well in all areas of our business. In the services area we closed a new agreement with Symbian that expands our engagement, and in April we were selected by Symbian to be one of only ten worldwide Competency Centers to provide wireless services to Symbian licensees. Today, Intrinsyc has the largest Symbian development center in North America."

Ms. Dorchak continued, "Our Soleus business recorded several achievements that included the first Soleus-based device being announced in January, the release of Soleus version 1.13 and steady progress with our existing customers. From a sales perspective, the highlight was our announcement that Samsung Semiconductor Systems LSI Division had signed a Soleus licence agreement to bundle Soleus in their reference kits. We continue to expect Samsung's first customer to begin shipping a Soleus-based product by late 2008."

The Company also provided two updates on previously announced engagements. A design win announced in March 2008 for a third device at an existing licensee is not expected to continue, due to product plan changes made by the customer that are completely unrelated to Soleus. This OEM continues to move forward with its other Soleus products. Ms. Dorchak stated, "OEMs will alter product plans from time to time, but we are pleased with the progress they are making with their other Soleus-based devices." As an update on the development alliance with a leading Japanese OEM, Ms. Dorchak commented, "We continue to work under our joint memorandum of understanding on a development project for next-generation user interface. A final agreement will be developed when the project matures to the point of becoming a software engagement, but in the meantime, we have a productive collaboration that will benefit both companies in the future."

Ms. Dorchak concluded, "With six Soleus engagements underway, Intrinsyc's ramp of Soleus is on track with our plan. We continue to expect to generate Soleus royalty revenues at the end of this quarter and maintain our one design win per quarter sales performance."

Loss before earnings, interest, amortization, stock-based compensation expense and income tax ("EBITDA") for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $3.5 million, compared to $7.0 million in the four month transition period ended December 31, 2007 and $3.2 million for the three months ended February 28, 2007. Total operating expenses, excluding amortization and stock-based compensation, for the three months ended March 31, 2008 include Soleus-related research and development expenditures of $2.5 million compared to $3.4 million in the four months ended December 31, 2007 and $2.8 million in the three months ended February 28, 2007. See further discussion on EBITDA under the heading "Supplemental Information" later in this press release.

Cash on hand at the end of the first quarter was $35.2 million, compared to $12.1 million as of December 31, 2007. On February 27, 2008, the Company closed a bought deal offering of 28.6 million new common shares at an offering price of $1.05 Canadian per share, resulting in gross proceeds of approximately $30.2 million and net proceeds of approximately $28.0 million. As at March 31, 2008 the Company has a total of 150.9 million shares issued and outstanding.

Supplemental Information

In addition to results disclosed in accordance with Canadian GAAP, Intrinsyc discloses a non-GAAP measure of EBITDA as a method to evaluate the Company's operating performance. This non-GAAP measure should not be considered a substitute for measurements required by accounting principles generally accepted in Canada such as loss and loss per share. Management believes that this non-GAAP metric provides additional information allowing comparability regarding the Company's ongoing operating performance and the items excluded are considered to be non-operational and/or non-recurring. EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization. This non-GAAP measure is not necessarily comparable to non-GAAP information provided by other issuers. A reconciliation of the Company's EBITDA loss to the loss under Canadian GAAP is provided in the table attached.
