PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
      You should read the following summary together with the more detailed information regarding Insignia Solutions plc and consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this prospectus.
      This prospectus contains forward-looking statements. The outcome of the events described in these forward-looking statements is subject to risks and actual results could differ materially. The sections entitled “Risk Factors,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Business,” as well as those discussed elsewhere in this prospectus, contain a discussion of some of the factors that could contribute to those differences.
      In this prospectus, “Insignia,” “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Insignia Solutions plc.
The Company
      We commenced operations in 1986 and currently develop, market and support software technologies that enable mobile operators and phone manufacturers to better update, configure and manage today’s more complex mobile phones using standard over-the-air (“OTA”) data networks. Before 2003, our principal product line was the Jeodetm platform, based on our Embedded Virtual Machine (“EVM”tm) technology. The Jeode platform was our implementation of Sun Microsystems, Inc.’s (“Sun”) Java® technology tailored for smart devices. During 2001, we began development of a range of products (“Secure System Provisioning” or “SSP” products) for the mobile phone and wireless operator industry. The SSP products build on our position as a Virtual Machine (“VM”) supplier for manufacturers of mobile devices and allow wireless operators and phone manufacturers to reduce customer care and software recall costs, as well as increase subscriber revenue by deploying new mobile services based on dynamically provisioning of new capabilities. With the sale of our Jeode product line in April 2003, our sole product line then consisted of our SSP products. We shipped our first SSP product in December 2003. In March 2005, we acquired Mi4e Device Management AB (“Mi4e”), a private company headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden. Mi4e was founded in 2003 and had $646,000 of revenues in 2004. Mi4e’s main product, a Device Management Server (“DMS”) is a mobile device management infrastructure solution for mobile operators that supports the Open Mobile Alliance (“OMA”) client provisioning specification. DMS was first deployed at Telstra in Australia in 2000 and has since been deployed at more than ten carriers around the world. By integrating the Mi4e products with existing Insignia applications, we are able to deliver a more comprehensive solution to mobile network operators and handset manufacturers.
      Insignia Solutions plc was incorporated under the laws of England and Wales on November 20, 1985 under the name Diplema Ninety Three Limited, changed its name to Insignia Solutions Limited on March 5, 1986 and commenced operations on March 17, 1986. On March 24, 1995, the Company was re-registered as a public limited company under the name Insignia Solutions plc. Our principal executive offices in the United States are located at 41300 Christy Street, Fremont, California 94538. Our telephone number at that location is (510) 360-3700. Our registered office in the United Kingdom is located at The Mercury Centre, Wycombe Lane, Wooburn Green, High Wycombe, Bucks HP10 0HH. Our telephone number at that location is (44) 1628-539500.
The Offering
      On February 10, 2005, we entered into a securities subscription agreement (the “2005 Fusion Capital securities subscription agreement”) with Fusion Capital Fund II, LLC, an Illinois limited liability company (“Fusion” or “Fusion Capital”) pursuant to which Fusion Capital has agreed to purchase, on each trading day after the commencement of funding, under the 2005 Fusion Capital securities subscription agreement, $20,000 of our American Depository Shares (“ADSs”), for an aggregate of up to $12.0 million. The $12.0 million in ADSs are to be subscribed for over a 30-month period, subject to earlier termination at our discretion. The subscription price of the ADSs will be based on a market-based formula at the time of purchase. However, Fusion shall not have the right nor the obligation to subscribe for any ADSs under the agreement on any trading day where the subscription price per share for any subscriptions of the ADSs would be less than $0.40 (subject to adjustment for stock splits, dividends and the like). We have authorized the sale

and issuance of up to $12.0 million of our shares to Fusion Capital under the 2005 Fusion Capital securities subscription agreement, of which we are registering 20,000,000 shares (including 4,000,000 shares for issuance on exercise of warrants issued to Fusion as a commitment fee) under this prospectus. The commencement of funding under the 2005 Fusion Capital securities subscription agreement is subject to certain conditions, including the declaration of effectiveness by the Securities and Exchange Commission of the registration statement covering the ADSs of which this prospectus forms a part.
      In addition to the 16,000,000 ADSs that may be sold under the 2005 Fusion Capital subscription agreement with Fusion Capital and 4,000,000 ADSs that may be sold to Fusion Capital upon exercise of related warrants, selling stockholders may sell up to a further 20,028,530 ADSs under this prospectus. These ADSs consist of the following:
  •  3,959,588 ADSs issued and issuable to the former shareholders of Mi4e in connection with our acquisition of Mi4e in March 2005, including up to 989,896 ADSs that are issuable on March 31, 2006;
 
  •  3,208,499 ADSs issued in a private financing on October 18, 2004, an additional 1,006,724 ADSs issuable under warrants that we issued to the investors and certain placement agents at the closing of such private financing, and an additional 192,522 ADSs issuable under warrants that we issued to the investors in July 2005 as a penalty because a registration statement relating to the shares issued in such private financing had not yet become effective;
 
  •  3,220,801 ADSs that we sold to Fusion Capital on February 9, 2005; and
 
  •  Up to 4,762,326 ADSs that are issuable on exchange of Series A Preferred Stock issued to Fusion Capital and other investors by our subsidiary, Insignia Solutions Inc., on June 30, 2005 and July 5, 2005, and an additional 3,678,070 ADSs issuable on exercise of warrants issued to the investors and certain placement agents in such financing.
      The selling shareholders may sell the ADSs from time to time on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market, or otherwise, at prices and at terms then prevailing or at prices related to the then current market price or in private sales at negotiated prices directly or through a broker or brokers, who may act as agent or principal or by a combination of such methods of sale. For additional information on the method of sale, you should refer to the section entitled “Plan of Distribution.”

RISK FACTORS
      You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below and the other information in this prospectus before deciding whether to invest in shares of our common stock. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or operating results could be materially adversely affected. This could cause the trading price of our common stock to decline, and you may lose part or all of your investment.
      This prospectus also contains certain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. These statements refer to our future plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. These statements may be identified by the use of words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans” and similar expressions. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in these statements. Factors that could contribute to these differences include those discussed below and elsewhere in this prospectus.
We may need additional financing to sustain our operations, and we may not be able to continue to operate as a going concern.
      In the six months ended June 30, 2005 we incurred a net loss of $3.5 million and had net cash used in operations of $2.4 million. We had cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash of $0.9 million at June 30, 2005. In addition, we had recurring net losses of $7.1 million, $4.3 million, and $8.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002, respectively, and we also had net cash used in operations of $7.6 million, $4.2 million, and $8.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002, respectively. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
      Based upon our current forecasts and estimates, including sufficient funding from the 2005 Fusion Capital securities subscription agreement and the achievement of our target revenues, cost-cutting and accounts receivable collection goals, our current forecasted cash and cash equivalents should be sufficient to meet our operating and capital requirements through June 30, 2006. If cash currently available from all sources is insufficient to satisfy our liquidity requirements, we may seek additional sources of financing including selling additional equity or debt securities. If additional funds are raised through the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities, the percentage ownership of our shareholders would be reduced, and our shareholders could experience substantial dilution. In addition, any equity or debt securities could have rights, preferences and privileges senior to holders of our shares, and the terms of such securities could impose restrictions on our operations. The sale of additional equity or debt securities could result in additional dilution to our shareholders. We may not be able to obtain additional financing on acceptable terms, if at all. If we are unable to obtain additional financing as and when needed and on acceptable terms our business may be jeopardized.
      On February 10, 2005, Insignia entered into the 2005 Fusion Capital securities subscription agreement with Fusion Capital to sell ADSs, representing ordinary shares having an aggregate purchase price of up to $12.0 million, to Fusion Capital over a period of 30 months. The shares will be priced based on a market-based formula at the time of purchase. The commencement of funding under the 2005 Fusion Capital securities subscription agreement is subject to the declaration of effectiveness by the Securities and Exchange Commission of a registration statement covering the ADSs to be purchased by Fusion Capital under the 2005 Fusion Capital securities subscription agreement. Any delay in the commencement of funding under the 2005 Fusion Capital securities subscription agreement could jeopardize Insignia’s business.
      We only have the right to receive $20,000 per trading day under the agreement with Fusion Capital unless our stock price equals or exceeds $1.00, in which case the daily amount may be increased under certain conditions as the price of our common stock increases. Fusion Capital shall not have the right nor be obligated to purchase any shares of our common stock on any trading days that the market price of our common stock is less than $0.40. Under the laws of England and Wales, we are not permitted to sell our ADSs at a purchase price that is less than the nominal value of our ordinary shares. Currently, the nominal value per ordinary share is 20 pence. At our general meeting of shareholders held on September 30, 2005, our shareholders approved a reduction of the nominal value of our ordinary shares from 20 pence per share to 1 pence per share. Such reduction will become effective once the order of the English High Court confirming it is registered with

Table of Contents

the U.K. Registrar of Companies, which we expect to be completed by the end of January 2006. In addition, Insignia will not effect any issuance of ordinary shares (or have its transfer agent or depository issue any ADSs) on any trading day where the purchase price for any subscriptions would be less than the U.S. dollar equivalent of 102.5% of the then nominal value of the ordinary shares.
      We have a total of 75,000,000 ordinary shares authorized for issuance, of which 42,503,025 shares were outstanding as of September 30, 2005, 14,713,294 shares were reserved for issuance upon the exercise of outstanding warrants and options and 4,762,326 shares were reserved for issuance upon exchange of Series A Preferred Stock of our subsidiary Insignia Solutions Inc. in connection with the June 30 and July 5, 2005 Securities Subscription Agreements. At our general meeting of shareholders held on September 30, 2005, our shareholders approved an increase of 35,000,000 ordinary shares to our authorized share capital. This increase in our authorized share capital is conditional upon the reduction of the nominal value of our ordinary shares to 1 pence per share becoming effective, which we expect to take place by the end of January 2006. Accordingly, we currently have a total of 13,021,355 shares available and authorized for issuance in connection with future financing and strategic transactions.
      If we sell 16,000,000 shares to Fusion Capital under the 2005 Fusion Capital securities subscription agreement that are offered pursuant to this prospectus, the selling price of our ADSs will have to average at least $0.75 per share for us to receive the maximum proceeds of $12,000,000.
      Assuming an average purchase price of $0.41 per share (the closing sale price of our ADSs on September 30, 2005) and the purchase by Fusion Capital of 16,000,000 shares under the 2005 Fusion Capital securities subscription agreement that are offered pursuant to this prospectus, proceeds to us would be $6,560,000, plus up to approximately $1,540,000 from the exercise of warrants. In addition, even if we are able to access the full $12,000,000 under the 2005 Fusion Capital securities subscription agreement with Fusion Capital, we may still need additional capital to implement our business, operating and development plans. Should the financing we require to sustain our working capital needs be unavailable or prohibitively expensive when we require it, our business could be jeopardized.
Our stock could be delisted from Nasdaq.
      The Company has received a Nasdaq Staff Determination indicating that the Company was not, at December 31, 2004, in compliance with the stockholders’ equity requirement for continued listing set forth in MarketPlace Rule 4310(c)(2)(B) and that its securities were, therefore, subject to delisting from the Nasdaq SmallCap Market. The Company had a hearing scheduled before a Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel to review the Staff Determination, which was subsequently cancelled because as of March 31, 2005 the Company’s shareholders’ equity exceeded $2,500,000. There is no assurance the that the Company will be able to continue to maintain stockholders’ equity of at least $2,500,000 as required for continued listing on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market.
The sale of our shares to Fusion Capital will cause dilution, and the sale of shares by Fusion Capital and others could cause the price of our shares to decline.
      The number of shares to be issued to Fusion Capital pursuant to the 2005 Fusion Capital securities subscription agreement with Fusion Capital will fluctuate based on the price of our shares. Shares sold to Fusion Capital under the 2005 Fusion Capital securities subscription agreement will be freely tradable. Fusion Capital may sell none, some or all of the shares purchased from us at any time. We expect that the shares to be sold to Fusion Capital will be sold over a period of up to 30 months from the effective date of the registration statement filed in connection with the transaction.
      In addition, we are registering via this prospectus for resale the shares issued and issuable in connection with our October 2004 and our 2005 private placement transactions and the Mi4e acquisition. Depending upon market liquidity at the time, a sale of such shares at any given time could cause the trading price of our shares to decline. The sale of a substantial number of shares, or anticipation of such sales, could make it more

Table of Contents

difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and at a price that we might otherwise wish to effect sales.
We have achieved minimal sales of our products to date.
      Our future performance depends upon sales of our SSP, DMS and Open Management Client (“OMC”) products. We began shipping the SSP product in December 2003 and the OMC product line in October 2004. We have achieved only minimal sales to date, including revenues of only $450,000 relating to sales of the SSP product in 2004. The DMS product line was acquired as part of Mi4e in March 2005 and we thus have limited experience in selling this product. If we are unable to gain the necessary customer acceptance of our products, our business may be jeopardized.
      Our SSP, DMS and OMC products represent the “next-generation” products that enable carriers to repair and update mobile phones “over-the-air” without having their customers send back their handsets to the carrier for repair or update. To the extent that carriers continue to use the current generation of “over-the-air” products, such as those offered by Bitfone, InnoPath, Openwave and mFormation, to make repairs and updates and do not believe that the next generation products, such as our SSP product, offer a sufficiently important improvement at a reasonable cost, then we may not achieve our targeted sales and our business could fail. Conversely our newly acquired DMS product represents the current generation of technology in the market place.
      In addition, some prospective customers have been reticent to buy our products because of our current financial position. To the extent that prospective customers believe that we are under-capitalized, they may be hesitant to buy our products.
The long and complex process of licensing our products makes our revenue unpredictable.
      Our revenue is dependent upon our ability to license our products to third parties. Licensing our products has to date been a long and complex process, typically being a six to nine months sales cycle. Before committing to license our products, potential customers must generally consider a wide range of issues including product benefits, infrastructure requirements, functionality, reliability and our ability to work with existing systems. The process of entering into a development license with a company typically involves lengthy negotiations. Because of the sales cycle, it is difficult for us to predict when, or if, a particular prospect might sign a license agreement. License fees may be delayed or reduced because of this process.
We rely on third parties for software development tools, which we distribute with some of our products.
      We license software development tool products from other companies to distribute with some of our products. These third parties may not be able to provide competitive products with adequate features and high quality on a timely basis or to provide sales and marketing cooperation. Furthermore, our products compete with products produced by some of our licensors. When these licenses terminate or expire, continued license rights might not be available to us on reasonable terms, or at all. We might not be able to obtain similar products to substitute into our tool suites.
If handset manufacturers (and other third parties) do not achieve substantial sales of their products that incorporate our technology, we will not receive royalty payments on our licenses.
      Our success depends upon the use of our technology by our licensees in their smart devices. Our licensees undertake a lengthy process of developing systems that use our technology. Until a licensee has sales of its systems incorporating our technology, they are not obligated to pay us royalties. We expect that the period of time between entering into a development license and actually recognizing commercial use royalties will be lengthy and difficult to predict.

We have a history of losses and we must generate significantly greater revenue if we are to achieve profitability.
      We have experienced operating losses in each quarter since the second quarter of 1996. To achieve profitability, we will have to increase our revenue significantly. Our ability to increase revenue depends upon the success of our products, and to date we have received only minimal revenue. If we are unable to create revenue in the form of development license fees, maintenance and support fees, commercial use royalties and nonrecurring engineering services, our current revenue will be insufficient to sustain our business.
We need to increase our sales and marketing expenditures in order to achieve sales of our products; however, this increase in expenses is expected to decrease our cash position.
      In the six months ended June 30, 2005, we spent 111% of our total revenues on sales and marketing. We expect to continue to incur disproportionately high sales and marketing expenses in the future. To market our products effectively, we must develop client and server channel markets. We will continue to incur the expenses for a sales and marketing infrastructure before we recognize significant revenue from sales of the product. Because customers in the smart device market tend to remain with the same vendor over time, we believe that we must devote significant resources to each potential sale. If potential customers do not design our products into their systems, the resources we have devoted to the sales prospect would be lost. If we fail to achieve and sustain significant increases in our quarterly sales, we may not be able to continue to increase our investment in these areas. With increased expenses, we must significantly increase our revenue if we are to become profitable.
If we are unable to stay abreast of technological changes, evolving industry standards and rapidly changing customer requirements, our business reputation will likely suffer and revenue may decline.
      The market for mobile devices is fragmented and characterized by technological change, evolving industry standards and rapid changes in customer requirements. Our products will need to be continually improved to meet emerging market conditions, such as new interoperability standards, new methods of wireless notifications, new flash silicon technologies and new telecom infrastructure elements. Our existing products will become less competitive or obsolete if we fail to introduce new products or product enhancements that anticipate the features and functionality that customers demand. The success of our new product introductions will depend on our ability to:
  •  accurately anticipate industry trends and changes in technology standards;
 
  •  complete and introduce new product designs and features in a timely manner;
 
  •  continue to enhance our existing product lines; and
 
  •  respond promptly to customers’ requirements and preferences.
      Development delays are commonplace in the software industry. We have experienced delays in the development of new products and the enhancement of existing products in the past and are likely to experience delays in the future. We may not be successful in developing and marketing, on a timely basis or at all, competitive products, product enhancements and new products that respond to technological change, changes in customer requirements and emerging industry standards.
Our targeted market is highly competitive.
      Our products are targeted for the mobile operator and mobile device market. The market for these products is fragmented and highly competitive. This market is also rapidly changing, and there are many companies creating products that compete or will compete with ours. As the industry develops, we expect competition to increase in the future. This competition may come from existing competitors or other companies that we do not yet know about. Our main competitors include Bitfone, IBM, InnoPath, 4thPass, mFormation, Openwave and Red Bend.

Table of Contents

      If these competitors develop products that are less expensive or provide better capabilities or functionality than do our products, we will be unable to gain market share. Many of our current competitors and potential competitors have greater resources, including larger customer bases and greater financial resources than we do, and we might not be able to compete successfully against these companies. A variety of other potential actions by our competitors, including increased promotion and accelerated introduction of new or enhanced products, could also harm our competitive position.
Our revenue model may not succeed.
      Competition could force us to reduce the prices of our products, which would result in reduced gross margins and could harm our ability to provide adequate service to our customers and our business. Our pricing model for our software products is a combination of (1) initial license fees, (2) activated subscriber fees, (3) support and maintenance fees, (4) hosting services and (5) engineering service fees, any of which may be subject to significant pricing pressures. Also, the market may demand alternative pricing models in the future, which could decrease our revenues and gross margins.
Fluctuations in our quarterly results could cause the market price of our shares to decline.
      Our quarterly operating results can vary significantly depending on a number of factors. These factors include:
  •  the volume and timing of orders received during the quarter;
 
  •  the mix of and changes in customers to whom our products are sold;
 
  •  the mix of product and service revenue received during the quarter;
 
  •  the mix of development license fees and commercial use royalties received;
 
  •  the timing and acceptance of new products and product enhancements by us or by our competitors;
 
  •  changes in product pricing;
 
  •  foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations; and
 
  •  ability to recognize revenue on orders received.
      All of these factors are difficult to forecast. Our future operating results may fluctuate due to these and other factors, including our ability to continue to develop innovative and competitive products. Due to all of these factors, we believe that period-to-period comparisons of our results of operations are not necessarily meaningful and should not be viewed as an indication of our future performance.
We have engineering and other operations both in the United States and foreign countries, which is expensive and can create logistical challenges.
      We currently have 14 employees in the United States, 8 employees in the United Kingdom and 15 employees in Sweden. In the past, the geographic distance between our engineering personnel in the United Kingdom and our principal offices in California and primary markets in Asia, Europe and the United States has led to logistical and communication difficulties. In the future, we may experience similar difficulties, which may have an adverse impact on our business. Further, because a substantial portion of our research and development operations is located in the United Kingdom and Sweden, our operations and expenses are directly affected by economic and political conditions in the United Kingdom and Sweden.
      Economic conditions in Europe and fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar against the Euro, Swedish Krona and British pound sterling could impair our revenue and results of operations. International operations are subject to a number of other special risks. These risks include foreign government regulation, reduced protection of intellectual property rights in some countries where we do business, longer receivable collection periods and greater difficulty in accounts receivable collection, unexpected changes in, or imposition of, regulatory requirements, tariffs, import and export restrictions and other barriers and restrictions,

potentially adverse tax consequences, the burdens of complying with a variety of foreign laws and staffing and managing foreign operations, general geopolitical risks, such as political and economic instability, hostilities with neighboring countries and changes in diplomatic and trade relationships, and possible recessionary environments in economies outside the United States.
      In March 2005, we acquired Mi4e, a company headquartered in Sweden. We now have 15 employees and an office in Sweden. It takes substantial management time and financial resources to integrate operations in connection with an acquisition, and the potential logistical, personnel and customer challenges are exacerbated when, as in this case, the acquirer and target company are separated by great geographic distance.
International sales of our products, which we expect to comprise a significant portion of total revenue, expose us to the business and economic risks of international operations.
      Sales from outside of the United States accounted for approximately 81% and 72% of our total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and year ended December 31, 2004, respectively. We expect to market SSP, DMS and OMC to mobile operators and handset manufacturers in Europe. Economic conditions in Europe and fluctuations in the value of the Euro, British pounds sterling and Swedish Krona against the U.S. dollar could impair our revenue and results of operations. International operations are subject to a number of other risks. These risks include:
  •  longer receivable collection periods and greater difficulty in accounts receivable collection;
 
  •  foreign government regulation;
 
  •  reduced protection of intellectual property rights in some countries where we do business;
 
  •  unexpected changes in, or imposition of, regulatory requirements, tariffs, import and export restrictions and other barriers and restrictions;
 
  •  potentially adverse tax consequences;
 
  •  the burdens of complying with a variety of foreign laws and staffing and managing foreign operations;
 
  •  general geopolitical risks, such as political and economic instability, terrorism, hostilities with neighboring countries and changes in diplomatic and trade relationships; and
 
  •  possible recessionary environments in economies outside the United States.
Our technology depends on the adoption of standards such as those set forth by the Open Mobile Alliance (“OMA”). If such standards are not effectively established our business could suffer. Use of open industry standards, however, may also make us more vulnerable to competition.
      We promote open standards in our technology in order to support open competition and interoperability. We do not exercise control over the development of open standards. Our products are integrated with communication service providers’ systems and mobile phones. If we are unable to continue to successfully integrate our platform products with these third-party technologies, our business could suffer. In addition, large wireless operators sometimes create detailed service specifications and requirements, such as Vodafone Live or DoCoMo iMode, and such operators are not required to share those specifications with us. Failure or delay in the creation of open, global specifications could have a negative impact on our sales and operating results.
      The widespread adoption of open industry standards, however, may make it easier for new market entrants and existing competitors to introduce products that compete with our software products.
Product defects can be expensive to fix and may cause us to lose customers.
      The software we develop is complex and must meet the stringent technical requirements of our customers. We must develop our products quickly to keep pace with the rapidly changing Internet software and telecommunications markets. Software products and services as complex as ours are likely to contain

Table of Contents

undetected errors or defects. Software errors are particularly common when a product is first introduced or a new version is released. Despite thorough testing, our products might be shipped with errors. If this were to happen, customers could reject our products, or there might be costly delays in correcting the problems, and we could face damage to our reputation. Our products are increasingly used in systems that interact directly with the general public, such as in transportation and medical systems. In these public-facing systems, the failure of our product could cause substantial property damage or personal injury, which could expose us to product liability claims. Our products are used for applications in business systems where the failure of our product could be linked to substantial economic loss. Our agreements with our customers typically contain provisions designed to limit our exposure to potential product liability and other claims. It is likely, however, that these provisions are not effective in all circumstances and in all jurisdictions. We may not have adequate insurance against product liability risks, and renewal of our insurance may not be available to us on commercially reasonable terms. Further, our errors and omissions insurance may not be adequate to cover claims. If we ever had to recall our product due to errors or other problems, it would cost us a great deal of time, effort and expense.
      Our operations depend on our ability to protect our computer equipment and the information stored in our databases against damage by fire, natural disaster, power loss, telecommunications failure, unauthorized intrusion and other catastrophic events. The measures we have taken to reduce the risk of interruption in our operations may not be sufficient. To date, we have not experienced any major interruptions in our operations because of a catastrophic event.
If we lose key personnel or are unable to hire additional qualified personnel as necessary, we may not be able to successfully manage our business or sell our products.
      Our future performance depends to a significant degree upon the continued contributions of our key management, product development, sales, marketing and operations personnel. We do not have agreements with any of our key personnel that obligates them to work for us for a specific term, and we do not maintain any key person life insurance policies. We currently intend to hire additional salespeople and believe our future success will depend in large part upon our ability to attract and retain highly skilled managerial, engineering, sales, marketing and operations personnel, many of whom are in great demand. Competition for qualified personnel can be intense in the San Francisco Bay Area, where our U.S. operations are headquartered.
Our performance depends significantly on our ability to protect our intellectual property and proprietary rights in the technologies used in our products. If we are not adequately protected, our competitors could use the technologies that we have developed to enhance their products and services, which could harm our business.
      We rely on a combination of patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret laws, confidentiality provisions and other contractual provisions to protect our intellectual property and proprietary rights, but these legal means afford only limited protection. Despite the measures we take to protect our intellectual property rights, unauthorized parties may attempt to copy aspects of our products or to obtain and use information which we regard as proprietary. In addition, the laws of some countries may not protect our intellectual property and proprietary rights as fully as do the laws of the United States. Thus, the measures we take to protect our intellectual property and proprietary rights in the United States and abroad may not be adequate. In addition, our competitors may independently develop similar technologies.
      The market for wireless communications and the delivery of Internet-based services are characterized by the existence of a large number of patents and frequent litigation based on allegations of patent infringement. As the number of entrants into our market increases, the possibility of infringement claims against us grows. In addition, because patents can take many years to issue, there may be one or more patent applications now pending of which we are unaware, and which we may be accused of infringing when patent(s) issue from the application(s) in the future. To address any patent infringement claims, we may need to enter into royalty or licensing agreements on disadvantageous commercial terms. We may also have to incur significant legal expenses to ascertain the risk of infringing a patent and the likelihood of that patent being valid. A successful claim of patent infringement against us, and our failure to license the infringing or similar technology, could

harm our business. In addition, any infringement claims, with or without merit, would be time consuming and expensive to litigate or settle and could divert management attention from administering our core business.
      As a member of several groups involved in setting standards for the industry, we have agreed to license our intellectual property to other members of those groups on fair and reasonable terms to the extent that the intellectual property is essential to implementing the specifications promulgated by those groups. Each of the other members of the groups has agreed to similar provisions.
Our products may infringe the intellectual property rights of third parties, which may result in lawsuits and prevent us from selling our products.
      As the number of patents, copyrights, trademarks and other intellectual property rights in our industry increases, products based on our technology may increasingly become the subject of infringement claims. Third parties could assert infringement claims against us in the future. For example, other companies have asked us to evaluate the need for a license of patents they hold, and we cannot assure you that patent infringement claims will not be filed against us in the future. Infringement claims, with or without merit, could be time consuming, result in costly litigation, cause product shipment delays or require us to enter into royalty or licensing agreements. Royalty or licensing agreements, if required, might not be available on terms acceptable to us. We may initiate claims or litigation against third parties for infringement of our proprietary rights or to establish the validity of our proprietary rights. Litigation to determine the validity of any claims, whether or not the litigation is resolved in our favor, could result in significant expense to us and divert the efforts of our technical and management personnel from productive tasks. If there is an adverse ruling against us in any litigation, we may be required to pay substantial damages, discontinue the use and sale of infringing products, expend significant resources to develop non-infringing technology or obtain licenses to infringing technology. Our failure to develop or license a substitute technology could prevent us from selling our products.
We are at risk of securities litigation which, regardless of the outcome, could result in substantial costs and divert management attention and resources.
      Stock market volatility has had a substantial effect on the market prices of securities issued by us and other high technology companies, often for reasons unrelated to the operating performance of the specific companies. Following periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s securities, securities class action litigation has often been instituted against high technology companies. We have in the past been, and may in the future be, the target of similar litigation. Regardless of the outcome, securities litigation may result in substantial costs and divert management attention and resources.
If we are unable to favorably assess the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, or if our independent registered public accounting firm is unable to provide an unqualified attestation report on our assessment our stock price could be adversely affected.
      Pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and beginning with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2006, our management will be required to report on, and our independent registered public accounting firm to attest to, the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. The rules governing the standards that must be met for management to assess our internal controls over financial reporting are new and complex, and require significant documentation, testing and possible remediation. The process of reviewing, documenting and testing our internal control over financial reporting, will result in substantial increased expenses and the devotion of significant management and other internal resources.
      We may encounter problems or delays in completing the assessment and the implementation of any changes necessary to make a favorable assessment of our internal control over financial reporting, including having the necessary financial resources to conduct the assessment and implementation. If we cannot favorably assess the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, or if our independent

registered public accounting firm is unable to provide an unqualified attestation report on our assessment, investor confidence and our stock price could be adversely affected.
Our investors may have difficulty enforcing judgments against us in U.S. courts because many of our assets and some of our directors and management are located in England and Sweden.
      Insignia is incorporated under the laws of England and Wales. Two of our directors reside in England. All or a substantial portion of the assets of these persons, and a portion of our assets, are located outside of the United States. It may not be possible for investors to serve a complaint within the United States upon these persons or to enforce against them or against us, in U.S. courts, judgments obtained in U.S. courts based upon the civil liability provisions of U.S. securities laws. There is doubt about the enforceability outside of the United States, in original actions or in actions for enforcement of judgments of U.S. courts, of civil liabilities based solely upon U.S. securities laws. The rights of holders of our shares are governed by English law, including the Companies Act 1985, and by our memorandum and articles of association. The rights of holders of our ADSs are also affected by English law. These rights differ from the rights of security holders in typical U.S. corporations.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
      Except for the historical information contained in this prospectus, the matters discussed herein are forward-looking statements. Words such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “expects,” “future,” and “intends,” and similar expressions are used to identify forward-looking statements. These and other statements regarding matters that are not historical are forward-looking statements. These matters involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences in results and outcomes include without limitation those discussed below as well as those discussed elsewhere in this prospectus. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which reflect management’s analysis only as of the date hereof. We assume no obligation to update these forward-looking statements to reflect actual results or changes in factors or assumptions affecting such forward-looking statements.
Overview
      We commenced operations in 1986, and currently develop, market and support software technologies that enable mobile operators and phone manufacturers to update the firmware of mobile devices using standard over-the-air data networks. Before 2003, our principal product line was the Jeodetm platform, based on our Embedded Virtual Machine (“EVM”tm) technology.
      During 2001, we began development of a range of products (“Secure System Provisioning” or “SSP” products) for the mobile phone and wireless operator industry. These SSP products build on our position as a Virtual Machine (“VM”) supplier for manufacturers of mobile devices and allow wireless operators and phone manufacturers to reduce customer care and software recall costs as well as increase subscriber revenue by deploying new mobile services based on dynamically provisional capabilities. With the sale of our Jeode product line in April 2003, our sole product line then consisted of our SSP product. We shipped our first SSP product in December 2003, and in October 2004 we launched our Open Management Client (“OMC”) product.
      On March 16, 2005, we closed our acquisition of Mi4e Device Management AB (“Mi4e”), a private company headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden. The consideration paid in the transaction was 2,969,692 American depositary shares (“ADSs”) representing ordinary shares, and another 989,896 ADSs are issuable on March 31, 2006, subject to potential offset for breach of representations, warranties and covenants. In addition, up to a maximum of 700,000 Euros is payable in a potential earn-out based on a percentage of future revenue collected from sales of existing Mi4e products. Mi4e develops, markets and supports software technologies that enable mobile operators and phone manufacturers to update firmware of mobile devices using standards over-the-air data networks. Its main product, a Device Management Server (“DMS”), is a mobile device management infrastructure solution for mobile operators that support the Open Mobile Alliance (“OMA”) client provisioning specification. DMS was first deployed at Telstra in Australia in 2000 and has since been deployed at more than ten carriers around the world. By integrating the Mi4e capabilities with existing Insignia applications, our strategy is to deliver comprehensive solutions across multiple generations of technology and therefore resolve firmware update and compatibility issues for current and future users who require over-the-air repair.
      Currently we primarily offer the SSP, DMS and OMC product lines. Our revenues from these products are derived from:
  •  initial licensing fees;
 
  •  royalties paid based on volume of users;
 
  •  support and maintenance fees;
 
  •  trial and installation;

15


Table of Contents

  •  subscription fees for hosting services; and
 
  •  engineering services.
      Our operations outside of the United States are primarily in the United Kingdom and Sweden, where part of our research and development operations and our European sales activities are located. We sell our products directly to operators, distributors and original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”). Our revenues from customers outside the United States are derived primarily from Europe and Asia and are generally affected by the same factors as our revenues from customers in the United States. The operating expenses of our operations outside the United States are mostly incurred in Europe and relate to our research and development and European sales activities. Such expenses consist primarily of ongoing fixed costs and consequently do not fluctuate in direct proportion to revenues. Our revenues and expenses outside the United States can fluctuate from period to period based on movements in currency exchange rates. Historically, movements in currency exchange rates have not had a material effect on our revenues and expenses.
      We operate with the U.S. dollar as our functional currency, with a majority of revenues and operating expenses denominated in Euros, U.S. dollars, British pounds sterling and Swedish Krona. Exchange rate fluctuations against the dollar can cause U.K. and Swedish expenses, which are translated into dollars for financial statement reporting purposes, to vary from period-to-period.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
      The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Certain of our accounting policies require the application of significant judgment by management in selecting the appropriate assumptions for calculating financial estimates. These estimates affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. By their nature, these judgments are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. The most significant estimates and assumptions relate to revenue recognition, the adequacy of allowances for doubtful accounts, impairment of intangible assets and goodwill, and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets. Actual amounts could differ from these estimates.
Revenue recognition
      We recognize revenue in accordance with Statement of Position No. 97-2 (“SOP 97-2”), “Software Revenue Recognition” and Statement of Position No. 98-9, “Modification of SOP No 97-2.” These Statements of Position require that four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred or services rendered; (3) the fee is fixed or determinable; and (4) collectibility is probable. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on management’s judgments regarding the fixed nature of the fee charged for services rendered and products delivered and the collectibility of those fees. Should changes in conditions cause management to determine these criteria are not met for certain future transactions, revenue recognized for any reporting period could be adversely affected.
      At the time of the transaction, we assess whether the fee associated with our revenue transaction is fixed or determinable and whether or not collection is probable. We assess whether the fee is fixed or determinable based on the payment terms associated with the transaction. If a significant portion of a fee is due after the normal payment terms, which are 30 to 90 days from invoice date, we account for the fee as not being fixed or determinable. In these cases, we recognize revenue on the earlier of due date or the date on which cash is collected.
      We assess collectibility based on a number of factors, including past transaction history with the customer and the credit-worthiness of the customer. We do not request collateral from our customers. If we determine that collection of a fee is not probable, we will defer the fee and recognize revenue at the time collection becomes probable, which is generally upon receipt of cash.

Table of Contents

      For all sales, we use either a signed license agreement or a binding purchase order (primarily for maintenance renewals) as evidence of an arrangement.
      For arrangements with multiple obligations (for example, undelivered maintenance and support), we will allocate revenue to each component of the arrangement using the residual value method based on the fair value of the undelivered elements, which is specific to us. This means that we will defer revenue from the arrangement fee equivalent to the fair value of the undelivered elements. Fair value for the ongoing maintenance and support obligation is based upon separate sales of renewals to other customers or upon renewal rates quoted in the contracts. Fair value of services such as training or consulting, is based upon separate sales by us for these services to other customers.
      Our arrangements do not generally include acceptance clauses. However, if an arrangement includes an acceptance provision, acceptance occurs upon the earlier of receipt of written customer acceptance or expiration of the acceptance period.
      We recognize revenue for maintenance and hosting services ratably over the contract term. Our training and consulting services are billed based on hourly rates, and we will generally recognize revenue as these services are performed. However, at the time of entering into a transaction, we will assess whether or not any services included within the arrangement require us to perform significant work either to alter the underlying software or to build additional complex interfaces so that the software performs as the customer requests. If these services are included as part of an arrangement, we recognize the entire fee using the percentage of completion method. We estimate the percentage of completion based on our estimate of the total costs estimated to complete the project as a percentage of the costs incurred to date and the estimated costs to complete.
Accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts
      We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and will adjust credit limits based upon payment history and the customer’s current creditworthiness, as determined by our review of their current credit information. We continuously monitor collections and payments from our customers and maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon historical experience and any specific customer collection issues that we have identified. While such credit losses have historically been within expectations and the allowance established, credit loss rates may increase. Since our accounts receivable are concentrated in a relatively few number of customers, a significant change in the liquidity or financial position of any one of these customers could have a material adverse impact on the collectibility of accounts receivables and future operating results.
      The preparation of financial statements requires us to make estimates of the uncollectibility of our accounts receivables. We specifically analyze accounts receivable and analyze historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer creditworthiness, current economic trends and changes in our customer payment terms when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts.
Long-Lived Assets
      We periodically review our property and equipment and identifiable intangible assets for possible impairment whenever facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be fully recoverable. Assumptions and estimates used in the evaluation of impairment may affect the carrying value of long-lived assets, which could result in impairment charges in future periods. Significant assumptions and estimates include the projected cash flows based upon estimated revenue and expense growth rates and the discount rate applied to expected cash flows. In addition, our depreciation and amortization policies reflect judgments on the estimated useful lives of assets.
Deferred Taxes
      We currently have significant deferred tax assets, which are subject to periodic recoverability assessments. We record a valuation allowance to reduce our deferred tax assets to the amount that we believe to be more likely than not realizable. We have recorded a valuation allowance in an amount equal to the net

deferred tax assets to reflect uncertainty regarding future realization of these assets based on past performance and the likelihood of realization of our deferred tax assets.
Business Combinations
      In accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, “Business Combinations”, the purchase price of an acquired company is allocated between the intangible assets and the net tangible assets of the acquired business with the residual of the purchase price recorded as goodwill. Our future operating performance will be impacted by the future amortization of these acquired intangible assets and potential impairment charges related to goodwill if indicators of potential impairment exist. As a result of business acquisitions, the allocation of the purchase price to goodwill and intangible assets could have a significant impact on our future operating results. The allocation of the purchase price of the acquired companies to goodwill and intangible assets requires us to make significant estimates and assumptions, including estimates of future cash flows expected to be generated by the acquired assets and the appropriate discount rate for these cash flows. Should conditions be different from management’s current estimates, material write-downs of intangible assets or goodwill may be required, which would adversely affect our operating results.
      In accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, we assess goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives for impairment at least annually, or more frequently if events and changes in circumstances suggest that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. To the extent the carrying amount exceeds its fair value, an impairment charge to operations is recorded. At June 30, 2005, the carrying value of goodwill was $416,000.
Sale of Jeode Product Line and Java Virtual Machine Assets
      In 2003, we sold our Jeode product line to Esmertec A.G. (“Esmertec”) and transitioned our product focus to our SSP product line. This change in product focus has resulted in a redirection of available resources from our historical revenue base towards the development and marketing efforts associated with the SSP product.
      On February 7, 2003, we entered into a loan agreement with Esmertec whereby Esmertec loaned Insignia $1.0 million at an interest rate of prime plus two percent. The principal amount of $1.0 million was repaid on January 15, 2004 by offsetting that amount with a receivable relating to the product line purchase. All remaining accrued interest of $55,161 was repaid on March 15, 2004 by offsetting the accrued interest against prepaid royalties. Accordingly, there were no outstanding balances or future amounts due to Esmertec under the loan agreement as of December 31, 2004.
      On March 4, 2003, we entered into several agreements with Esmertec, a Swiss software company focused on Java technologies, including a definitive agreement to sell certain assets relating to our Jeode product line in exchange for $3.5 million due in installments through April 2004. The transaction closed on April 23, 2003. The assets sold primarily included the fixed assets, customer agreements and employees related to the Jeode product line. Under the terms of the agreements, Esmertec also became the exclusive master distributor of the Jeode technology in exchange for $3.4 million in minimum guaranteed royalties through October 2004.
      Under these agreements, Insignia could have earned up to an additional $4.0 million over the subsequent three-year period from the effective date of the agreement based on a percentage of Esmertec’s sales of the Jeode product during the period. Additionally, the parties entered into a cooperative agreement whereas Esmertec agreed to promote Insignia’s SSP software product to Esmertec’s mobile platform customers.
      As part of this transaction, we transferred 42 employees to Esmertec, of which 31 were development engineers. In addition, as part of the sale, Esmertec entered into an agreement with our U.K. building landlord in order to assume the lease on one of the two buildings leased by Insignia.
      On February 13, 2004, Insignia and Esmertec executed an agreement transferring the intellectual property of Jeode and the title for Insignia’s remaining prepaid royalties to Esmertec.

      On June 30, 2004, Insignia and Esmertec executed a Termination and Waiver Agreement that effectively concluded the remaining business between the two companies and dissolved any ties going forward between Insignia and the product line it sold to Esmertec in April 2003. The agreement offset Esmertec related liabilities and deferred revenue totaling $853,000 against $600,000 of remaining guaranteed royalty payments due from Esmertec in exchange for final cash payment to Insignia of $185,000 (which was made in July 2004). The resulting net gain of $302,000 was recorded as other income in the second quarter of 2004 and is net of expenses. This agreement resulted in the full and final satisfaction of the deferred consideration and waiver of all future outstanding obligations pursuant to the 2003 asset purchase agreement.

      The SSP product line, which we launched in 2003, was expanded by our introduction of additional products in October 2004 and March 2005. These products include Open Management Client (“OMC”) and Device Management Server (“DMS”). The DMS product was acquired through the acquisition of Mi4E in March 2005. In 2005, our license revenues were derived from initial licensing fees and royalties and service fees came from support and maintenance, trials and installations, hosting services and engineering services. In 2004, revenues were derived from initial licensing fees, support and maintenance, and engineering service.
      The 181% increase in total revenues from the six months ended June 30, 2004 to the same period in 2005 was primarily due to six new operators becoming customers combined with the benefits of acquiring Mi4e in March 2005. License revenue and service revenue accounted for 77% and 23%, respectively, of total revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to 99% and 1%, respectively, in the same period of the prior year.
      The 118% increase in license revenues from the first half of 2004 to the first half of 2005 was primarily due to increased revenues from our SSP products, and new in 2005, DMS and OMC products and with the adoption of our new products by a number of system operators. The SSP, DMS and OMC products made up 48%, 15% and 37%, respectively, of license revenues in the first half of 2005. In the first half of 2004, the SSP product line made up 100% of total license revenues.
      The $274,000 increase in service revenue from the first half of 2004 to the first half of 2005 was primarily due to the increase in agreements for set up, hosting, and support and maintenance services for the DMS and SSP products.
      Sales to customers outside the United States, derived mainly from customers in Europe, the Middle East, Asia Pacific, and Africa represented approximately 81% of total revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 65% of total revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2004.

      Cost of net revenues consist of the cost of providing service revenue, primarily representing the cost of support and engineering for customer specific projects. In the six months ended June 30, 2005, cost of net revenues also included approximately $60,000 for providing third party products to customers purchasing licenses. This accounted for most of the increase in cost of net revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2005.
      Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of personnel and related overhead costs, salespersons commissions, advertising and promotional expenses and expenses relating to trade shows. Sales and marketing expenses remained level in the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to the same period in the prior year. In the future we anticipate a moderate increase in sales and marketing expenses as we seek to increase our revenues.
      Research and development costs consist primarily of personnel costs, professional consulting and travel expenses. Research and development expenses increased by 8% in the six months ended June 30, 2005, compared to the same period of 2004. This increase was primarily due to the addition of engineers from the Mi4e acquisition in March 2005.
      General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel and related overhead costs for finance, information systems, human resources and general management. General and administrative expenses increased by 18% in the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to the same period of 2004. The increase in the six months ended June 30, 2005 over the same period in the prior year is due to additional administrative costs associated with Mi4e which was acquired in March 2005 and an increase of $195,000 in the reserve for doubtful accounts for three customers in the six months ended June 30, 2005.
      Amortization of intangible assets in the six months ended June 30, 2005 represents the amortization of acquired customer relationships and technology from Mi4e which we purchased in March 2005.
Interest and other income (expense), net
      Interest and other income (expense), net for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was expense of $36,000 represented primarily by a $68,000 write-down of Insignia’s investment in its Insignia Asia joint venture, $46,000 of interest expense, and $15,000 related to foreign exchange loss, partially off-set by $90,000 of income from a trademark infringement lawsuit settlement. For the six months ended June 30, 2004, we had income of $253,000 represented primarily by a portion of the gain on the 2003 sale of the Jeode product line.

      The tax provision in the six months ended June 30, 2005 related to our operations in Sweden. Our benefit from income taxes of $213,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2004 primarily represented a refund received from the United Kingdom for research and development claims. We have recorded a full valuation allowance against all deferred income tax assets, primarily comprised of net operating losses, on the basis that significant uncertainty exists with respect to their realization.

      The SSP product line was our primary business for 2004. The Jeode product line was our primary business for 2003 and 2002. Both the SSP product line and the Jeode product line derive revenue from four main sources: the sale of software licenses, the sale of annual maintenance and support contracts as well as services, per unit royalties and non-recurring engineering or consulting activities. Revenues from the sale of development licenses, packaged products and royalties received from OEMs are classified as license revenue, while revenues from non-recurring engineering activities, training, and annual maintenance contracts are classified as service revenue.
      In 2004, the SSP platform accounted for 83% of total revenue while the Jeode product line accounted for 17% of total revenue. In 2003 and 2002, the Jeode platform accounted for 94% and 100%, respectively, of total revenues. The SSP platform became available for sale in December 2003 and the Jeode platform became available for sale in 1999. Total revenues in 2004 decreased 24% from 2003 due to the transition from the Jeode product line to the SSP product line. The Jeode product line was sold in April 2003, and the service revenue from the support and maintenance agreements associated with the Jeode product line were also transferred at the time of the sale. Since that time we have focused our efforts to develop and sell SSP products and services on a full-time basis. In 2004, 2003 and 2002, license revenue from the sale of SSP and Jeode accounted for 96%, 74% and 79% respectively, of total revenues. Service revenue from the SSP and Jeode platforms accounted for 4%, 26%, and 21% of total revenues for 2004, 2003, and 2002 respectively. No future revenues are expected from the Jeode product line.
      License revenues did not change materially in 2004 compared to 2003 as the Company began its initial introduction of the new SSP product in 2004. License revenues decreased 91% in 2003 compared to 2002 due to the sale of the Jeode product line in March 2003.
      Service revenue decreased by 89% in 2004 compared to 2003 due to the decrease in the number of support and maintenance agreements under the Jeode and SSP product lines. Service revenues decreased 88% in 2003 compared to 2002. The decrease was primarily due to the sale of the Jeode product line.

      The cost of license revenue for 2004 consisted mainly of commission paid to sales representatives on sales of our SSP product line. The cost of license revenue for 2003 and 2002 was mainly comprised of royalties to third parties on sales of our Jeode product line. In all three years the cost of service revenue was a result of costs associated with non-recurring engineering activities and end-user support under maintenance contracts.
      The gross margin on sales of our SSP platform is typically affected by whether we are using internal or external representatives to sell the SSP product line and the percentage commission negotiated with the sales people or companies selling the SSP software.
      We believe that the significant factors affecting the Jeode platform gross margin in 2002 and 2003 included pricing of the technology license, the unit usage and royalties to third parties, in particular Sun Microsystems. License revenue gross margins in 2004 were 95% compared to 45% in 2003. The increase in gross margin was due to lower sales of our Jeode product in 2004, and hence lower royalties paid to Sun Microsystems, as a result of our sale of the Jeode business to Esmertec in April 2003. License revenue gross margins in 2003 were 45% compared to 66% in 2002. The decrease was due to lower margins on 2003 revenue due to the sale of the Jeode product line to Esmertec.
      Gross margin for services revenue is impacted by the level of and pricing terms of non-recurring engineering activities, which can vary from customer to customer, from contract to contract and based on the level of maintenance contracts sold. Service revenue gross margins in 2004 were 30% compared to 72% in 2003. The decrease in service revenue gross margin is primarily a result of introducing our new SSP product during 2004 and amortizing the cost of service employees over a lower sales level. Service revenue gross margins in 2003 were 72% compared to 58% in 2002. The increase was primarily a result of the transfer of customers, employees and related costs with the sale of the Jeode product line.

      Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of personnel and related overhead costs, salesperson commissions, advertising and promotional expenses and trade shows. Sales and marketing expenses increased by 43% in 2004 from 2003. The increase in sales and marketing expenditures from $1,757,000 in 2003 to $2,511,000 in 2004 was primarily due to a non-cash charge of $353,000 for warrants that were issued to outside partners supporting the Company’s SSP product launch, $271,000 of expenses related to a strategic sales partner promoting our product line in the Asian markets, $51,000 in additional travel expenses and $70,000 for recruitment fees. Sales and marketing expenses decreased by 68% in 2003 compared to 2002 primarily due to decreased personnel costs, decreased recruiting costs and decreased employee travel. Costs for sales and marketing personnel decreased by $2.6 million due to a decrease in sales and marketing employees in 2003 as a result of a reduction in force program. The decreased headcount resulted in a decrease in sales and marketing travel of $546,000 and a $186,000 decrease in facility and telephone costs, as well as a $50,000 decrease in recruiting costs. Allocated overhead costs also decreased by $374,000 due to the resulting headcount decrease. In addition, marketing programs and public relations costs decreased by $454,000 as a result of cost cutting measures. These costs decreases were offset by a $216,000 increase in costs for the French sales office and a $75,000 increase in costs to an outside sales firm targeting the Asian markets. Both

the increase in the French office and costs for the outside sales firm were a result of increased sales efforts for the SSP product.
      Research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel costs, overhead costs relating to occupancy, software support and maintenance and equipment depreciation. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86, software development costs are expensed as incurred until technological feasibility is established, after which any additional costs are capitalized. In 2004, 2003 and 2002, no development expenditures were capitalized because there were no amounts that qualified for capitalization. Research and development expenses in 2004 decreased 17% from 2003. The decrease in research and development costs from $3,373,000 in 2003 to $2,807,000 in 2004 was primarily due to $346,000 of lower salary related expenses as a result of a reduction in employees in the United Kingdom after the sale of our Jeode product line in April of 2003 and a $200,000 decrease in support and maintenance costs as a result of our transfer of support agreements to Esmertec with the sale of our Jeode product line. Research and development expenses in 2003 decreased 40% from 2002. The decrease of $2.3 million was due to a reduction in personnel related costs resulting from the transferring of employees to Esmertec with the sale of the Jeode product line and a $236,000 decrease from the nonrenewal of our related Java support and maintenance contract. Recruiting costs and professional consulting costs decreased by $57,000 and $90,000, respectively. In addition, overhead costs for management information systems and facilities decreased by $449,000. These decreases were offset by $590,000 in engineering consulting services and technical support services, which were retained as engineering expenses and not allocated to cost of sales as a result of lower sales in 2003.
      General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel and related overhead costs for finance, information systems, human resources and general management. General and administrative expenses decreased by 4%, or approximately $100,000 from 2003 to 2004 primarily as a result of higher legal costs of approximately $95,000 in 2003 associated with the sale of our Jeode product line, lower rent expense in 2004 of approximately $100,000 resulting from the sublease of part of our facility in the United Kingdom, and $31,000 of lower salary related costs in the United Kingdom from reduced headcount as a result of the sale of the Jeode product line. These decreases were offset in part by an increase in 2004 recruiting costs of $40,000 and a $74,000 increase in printing and documentation costs. General and administrative expenses decreased by 20% in 2003 from 2002. The decrease was a result of a $665,000 decrease in compensation expenses due to headcount reductions and a $478,000 decrease in facility costs primarily as a result of $292,000 of expenses incurred in 2002 in order to restore our vacated United Kingdom facility to its original condition and lower rent costs in 2003 due to a reduction in office space. Travel costs decreased by $105,000 in 2003 compared to 2002 due to decreased headcount and cost-cutting measures, and insurance costs decreased by $121,000. These decreases were partially offset by $837,000 of expenses which was a result of fewer overhead costs being allocated out to other departments in 2003.
Restructuring
      In the third quarter of 2002, we completed a worldwide reduction of headcount of approximately 11% of our staff. Restructuring expenses of $296,000 consisted of severance payments made during the third and fourth quarters of 2002. On February 11, 2003, we announced a restructuring of the organization to focus on the SSP technology. The restructuring charges for 2003 were $498,000 for employee termination benefits. Restructuring expenses represented 70% of total revenues for 2003. There were no restructuring costs in 2004.

      Net interest income (expense) changed from net interest expense of $40,000 in 2003 to net interest income of $6,000 in 2004. This change was primarily due to interest expense that was paid in 2003 on a $1,000,000 loan from Esmertec which was settled in the first quarter of 2004.
      Net interest income decreased from net interest income of $75,000 in 2002 to net interest expense of $40,000 in 2003. The change from net interest income to net interest expense was primarily due to a combination of lower interest earned on cash and cash equivalent balances and interest expense on a loan received from Esmertec in February 2003. Our cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash increased from $1.0 million at December 31, 2002 to $2.2 million at December 31, 2003 as a result of continued financing to fund our business operations.

      Other income (expense), net decreased from $3,141,000 of net other income in 2003 to $249,000 of net other income in 2004. The decrease was primarily due to a gain on the sale of our Jeode product line in 2003. Other income (expense), net changed from net other expense of $431,000 in 2002 to net other income of $3,141,000 in 2003. The change was primarily due to the gain of $3.1 million recognized on the sale of the Jeode product line in 2003.
      We have, at times, an investment portfolio of fixed income securities that are classified as “available-for-sale-securities”. These securities, like all fixed income instruments, are subject to interest rate risk and will fall in value if market interest rates increase. We attempt to limit this exposure by investing primarily in short-term securities.

      The benefit from income taxes for 2004 primarily represented two significant items. The first item was a net benefit of $187,000 due to a reduction for potential tax liabilities related to our former Jeode product line. The booked liability was no longer necessary due to our accumulated operating loss carry forwards, tax receivables and the lack of tax assessments or expenses.
      In addition, in 2004 there was an offsetting write down of tax benefit of $104,000. This write down of tax benefit was related to the reduction of expected benefit relating to the 2003 and 2004 refunds to be received from the United Kingdom for research and development claims. The tax credit for United Kingdom research and development expenditures was a tax refund for qualifying research and development expenditures and not an offset against a tax liability.
      At December 31, 2004, we recorded a full valuation allowance against all deferred income tax assets, primarily comprised of net operating losses, on the basis that significant uncertainty exists with respect to their realization.
      From 2000 through 2002, certain research and development expenditures incurred in the United Kingdom qualified for a tax credit. The tax credit did not offset any tax liability but rather was a refund. The estimated refund for 2004 is $134,000. The estimated refund for 2003 reported in the 2003 Form 10-K was $391,000. The actual amount received for 2003 was $188,000 and was received in January of 2005. The difference of $203,000 between estimated United Kingdom tax credit and the actual refund

received for 2003 was due to the research and development expenses for SSP incurred in the United States were disallowed as the office in the United Kingdom was not leading the research and development process. Our estimates have since been updated for future years.

Six months ended June 30, 2005
      Cash used in operating activities in the six months ended June 30, 2005 totaled $2,376,000 compared to $2,673,000 for the same period in 2004. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, cash used in operating activities resulted primarily from a net loss of $3,489,000, an increase in accounts receivable of $496,000 and a decrease of deferred revenue of $113,000, partially offset by a decrease in other receivables and prepaid expenses of $583,000 and an increase of accounts payable and accruals of $644,000.
      Cash provided by investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was $137,000, which consisted of cash received with the purchase of Mi4e of $303,000, net acquisition and issuance costs paid of $154,000, less $12,000 for the purchase of fixed assets.

      Cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was $2,179,000, resulting from share issuances to investors with net proceeds of $1,858,000, proceeds from issuance of convertible notes payable of $275,000, and proceeds from exercise of stock options and employee stock purchase plan of $90,000, less $44,000 for repayment of notes payable.
      Our cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash were $892,000 at June 30, 2005, a decrease of $60,000 from $952,000 at December 31, 2004. At June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, we had a working capital deficit of $198,000 and surplus of $900,000, respectively. The working capital deficit arose from the Company’s operating losses in the six months ended June 30, 2005 exceeding cash equity investments in the Company during the period. The principal use of working capital was funding the operating loss and financing of accounts receivable. We have no material commitments for capital expenditures. Our commitments for expenditures consist of building leases in the U.K. and U.S.
Years ended December 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002
      Cash used in operating activities totaled $7.6 million during 2004, compared to $4.2 million during 2003, and $8.4 million in 2002. The $7.6 million in cash used in operations in 2004 was primarily the result of our $7.1 million net loss. There was a $353,000 non-cash charge for warrant issuances as well as $82,000 equity in the net loss of our Korean affiliate and a gain on the sale of the Jeode product line of $302,000. In addition, the decrease of accounts payable resulted in a use of cash of $155,000 as did the decrease of accrued liabilities of $392,000. An additional use of cash resulted from an increase in trade accounts receivable of $125,000. The cash used in operations in 2003 resulted primarily from a net loss of $4.3 million, the gain on the sale of the Jeode product line of $3.1 million and a decrease of accounts payable of $187,000. Partially offsetting these uses of cash were an increase in deferred revenue of $1,085,000, a decrease of accounts receivable of $931,000, a decrease of other noncurrent assets of $319,000, and a decrease of tax receivable of $311,000. In fiscal 2002, cash used in operations resulted primarily from a net loss of $8.4 million, an increase of tax receivable of $702,000, an increase of prepaid royalties of $1.2 million and a reduction of deferred revenue of $3.5 million.
      Cash provided by investing activities in 2004 was $998,000 which consisted primarily of $1.3 million in proceeds received from the sale of the Jeode product line. The $1.3 million in proceeds received from the sale of the Jeode product line was offset in part by $150,000 of investments in our Korean joint venture affiliate and $90,000 of purchased property and equipment. Cash provided by investing activities in 2003 was $2.0 million, which consisted primarily of $1.9 million of net proceeds from the sale of the Jeode product line and $230,000 being released from restricted cash. Cash used in investing activities in 2002 was $125,000, which consisted primarily of purchases of property and equipment.
      Cash provided by financing activities in 2004 was $5.3 million, which consisted primarily of $4.3 million, net of transaction costs, in proceeds from two private placements and issuance of shares under the Fusion Capital securities subscription agreement, $610,000 in proceeds from the exercise of options and $390,000 in proceeds from the exercise of warrants. Cash provided by financing activities in 2003 was $3.7 million, which consisted primarily of proceeds from the issuance of shares under the Fusion Capital securities subscription agreement of $1.9 million, net of transaction costs, proceeds from the exercise of warrants of $841,000 and proceeds from a note payable of $1.0 million. Cash provided by financing activities in 2002 was $654,000, which consisted primarily of proceeds from exercise of warrants of $480,000 and from the issuance of common stock under employee benefit plans of $175,000.

      As of June 30, 2005, three customers accounted for 82% of our total accounts receivable.
      We have granted extended payment terms to customers from time to time depending on various factors, including the length of the requested payment extension and the creditworthiness of the customer. We report these future payments as accounts receivable and either recognized revenue or deferred revenue. Deferred revenue decreased by $1,450,000 for 2004. The decrease was primarily the result of assigning our Jeode support and maintenance contracts to Esmertec in early 2004.
      Insignia warrants its software products against defects in material and workmanship under normal use and service for a period of ninety days. There is no warranty accrual recorded because potential future payments either are not probable or we have yet to incur the expense.
      On October 17, 2002, we entered into a securities subscription agreement with Fusion Capital, pursuant to which Fusion Capital agreed to purchase, on each trading day following the effectiveness of a registration statement covering the ADSs to be purchased by Fusion Capital, $10,000 of our ADSs up to an aggregate of $6.0 million over a period of 30 months. During 2003, we sold 3,380,132 ADSs to Fusion Capital resulting in proceeds of approximately $1.9 million, net of transaction costs, under the 2002 Fusion Capital securities subscription agreement. In 2004, we sold 3,100,060 shares to Fusion Capital for aggregate proceeds of $1.5 million, net of transaction costs, under the 2002 Fusion Capital securities subscription agreement. At December 31, 2004, $190,000 was due from Fusion Capital for stock purchases made and the amount was included in other receivables in our accompanying consolidated balance sheet. Payment was received in January 2005. In the first quarter of 2005, we issued and sold to Fusion Capital 3,519,808 ADSs for approximately $1.5 million under the 2002 Fusion Capital agreement, and on February 9, 2005, we and Fusion Capital entered into a mutual termination agreement pursuant to which the 2002 Fusion Capital securities subscription agreement was terminated.
      In addition to the shares purchased by Fusion Capital under the 2002 Fusion Capital securities subscription agreement, we also issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,000,000 shares to Fusion Capital, with a per share exercise price of the United States dollar equivalent of 20.5 pence. As of December 31, 2002, the estimated value of the warrants, using the Black-Scholes model was $544,000. Upon Fusion’s exercise of these warrants in 2003, we issued Fusion Capital 2,000,000 ADSs for a total of $668,000, net of issuance costs.
      In early January 2004, Insignia Solutions issued and sold to certain institutional and other accredited investors, in a private placement, 2,262,500 newly issued ADSs, and warrants to purchase 565,625 ADSs, for a total purchase price of approximately $1.8 million.
      On October 18, 2004, we closed a private placement financing with certain institutional and other accredited investors pursuant to which we sold newly issued ADSs and warrants to purchase ADSs, for a total purchase price of approximately $1.5 million, or $1.3 million net of transaction costs.
      On February 10, 2005, we entered into the 2005 Fusion Capital securities subscription agreement with Fusion Capital to sell ADSs having an aggregate purchase price of up to $12 million, to Fusion Capital over a period of 30 months (subject to daily maximum purchase amounts). The shares will be priced based on a market-based formula at the time of purchase. The commencement of funding under the 2005 Fusion Capital securities subscription agreement is subject to certain conditions, including the declaration of effectiveness by the Securities and Exchange Commission of a registration statement covering the ADSs to be purchased by Fusion Capital under the 2005 Fusion Capital securities subscription agreement. Under the rules and regulations of the

Table of Contents

Nasdaq SmallCap Market, the Company would be required to obtain shareholder approval to sell more than 19.99% of the issued and outstanding shares as of February 10, 2005 under this agreement. Insignia currently expects that commencement of funding under the 2005 Fusion Capital securities subscription agreement will begin during the second half of 2005, however the timing and certainty of the commencement of funding under the 2005 Fusion Capital securities subscription agreement are not within Insignia’s control. Any delay in the commencement of funding under the 2005 Fusion Capital securities subscription agreement would jeopardize Insignia’s business. As a commitment fee for this facility, Fusion Capital received warrants for 2,000,000 shares exercisable at the greater of £0.205 or $0.40 per share and for 2,000,000 exercisable at £0.205 each. These warrants are exercisable immediately and expire on February 28, 2010.
      On March 16, 2005, we closed our acquisition of Mi4e, a private company headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden. The consideration paid in the transaction was 2,969,692 ADSs representing ordinary shares and another 989,896 ADSs will be issuable on March 31, 2006, subject to potential offset for breach of representations, warranties and covenants. In addition up to a maximum of 700,000 euros is payable in a potential earn out based on a percentage of future revenue collected from sales of existing Mi4e products. As of June 30, 2005, $22,000 of this earn out was earned.
      In June 2005, the Company issued convertible notes to three shareholders in exchange for a bridge financing of $275,000. These notes were converted into the Series A preferred stock described below on June 30, 2005. In consideration of this bridge financing we accrued loan fees in the form of ADSs representing 45,833 ordinary shares and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 45,833 ADSs at an exercise price of $0.58 per share were issued; these shares were valued at a market value of $25,200 and the warrants had a fair value, calculated using the Black-Scholes model, of approximately $17,000. These warrants are exercisable on December 21, 2005 and expire on June 30, 2010.
      On June 30, 2005 and July 5, 2005, we and our wholly-owned subsidiary Insignia Solutions Inc. entered into securities subscription agreements with Fusion Capital and other investors. Pursuant to these subscription agreements, we completed a closing for an aggregate of $1,000,000 on June 30, 2005 (including exchange of the $275,000 bridge notes), and we completed a second closing on July 5, 2005 for an additional $440,400. Pursuant to these subscription agreements, the subsidiary issued its Series A preferred stock, to the investors. This preferred stock is non-redeemable. The shares of preferred stock (plus all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon) held by each investor are exchangeable for ADSs (i) at any time at the election of investor, (ii) automatically upon written notice by us to the investor in the event that the sale price of the ADSs on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market is greater than $1.50 per share for a period of ten consecutive trading days, and certain other conditions are met, and (iii) automatically to the extent any shares of the preferred stock have not been exchanged prior to June 30, 2007. The preferred stock in the first two years will accrue dividends at a rate of 15% per year compounded annually, payable in the form of additional ADSs. Including accruable dividends, the shares of preferred stock issued on June 30, 2005, together with the additional shares issued on July 5, 2005, will be exchangeable for 3,306,251 and 1,456,075 ADSs, respectively, representing an initial purchase price of $0.40 per ADS. Pursuant to the above subscription agreements, we also issued to the investors on June 30, 2005 and July 5, 2005, warrants to purchase 2,500,000 and 1,101,000 ADSs, respectively, at an exercise price per share equal to the greater of $0.50 or the U.S. Dollar equivalent of 20.5 U.K. pence. These warrants are immediately exercisable and expire on June 30, 2010.
      The issuance of the Series A preferred stock resulted in a beneficial conversion feature, calculated in accordance with EITF No. 00-27, “Application of Issue No. 98-5, Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features of Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios to Certain Convertible Instruments” based upon the conversion price of the preferred stock into ADSs, and the fair value of the ADSs at the date of issue. Accordingly, the warrants issued on June 30, 2005 were valued at $585,000, using a Black-Scholes model and the Company recognized $415,000 as a charge to additional paid-in-capital to account for the deemed dividend on the preferred stock as of the issuance date, which represented the amount of the proceeds allocated to the preferred stock. The amount of the deemed dividend related to the beneficial conversion feature was recorded upon the issuance of the preferred stock, as the preferred stock can be converted to ADSs by the holder at any time.

      Our cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash totaled $0.9 million at June 30, 2005, $1.0 million at December 31, 2004, and $2.2 million at December 31, 2003. We had recurring net losses of $3.5 million, $7.1 million, $4.3 million, and $8.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005, and the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002, respectively, and we also had net cash used in operations of $2.4 million, $7.6 million, $4.2 million, and $8.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002, respectively. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Based upon our current forecasts and estimates, including the timely funding of the 2005 Fusion Capital securities subscription agreement and the achievement of our target revenues, cost-cutting and accounts receivable collection goals, our current forecasted cash and cash equivalents should be sufficient to meet our operating and capital requirements through June 30, 2006. If cash currently available from all sources is insufficient to satisfy our liquidity requirements, we may seek additional sources of financing, including selling additional equity or debt securities. If additional funds are raised through the issuance of equity or debt securities, these securities could have rights, preferences and privileges senior to holders of our shares, and the terms of such securities could impose restrictions on our operations. The sale of additional equity or debt securities could result in additional dilution to our shareholders. We may not be able to obtain additional financing on acceptable terms, if at all. If we are unable to obtain additional financing as and when needed and on acceptable terms our business may be jeopardized.
New accounting pronouncements
      In March 2004, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) reached a consensus on Issue No. 03-01, “The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments” (“EITF 03-01”). EITF 03-01 provides guidance on other-than-temporary impairment models for marketable debt and equity securities accounted for under Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities,” and SFAS No. 124, “Accounting for Certain Investments Held by Not-for-Profit Organizations,” and non-marketable equity securities accounted for under the cost method. The EITF developed a basic three-step model to evaluate whether an investment is other-than-temporarily impaired. The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued EITF 03-01-1 in September 2004 which delayed the effective date of the recognition and measurement provisions of EITF 03-01; however, the disclosure requirements remain effective for annual periods ending after June 15, 2004. We do not expect the adoption of EITF 03-01 to have a material impact on our results of operations or financial condition.
      In April 2004, the EITF issued Statement No. 03-06, “Participating Securities and the Two-Class Method Under FASB Statement No. 128, Earnings Per Share” (“EITF 03-06”). EITF 03-06 addresses a number of questions regarding the computation of earnings per share by companies that have issued securities other than common stock that contractually entitle the holder to participate in dividends and earnings of the company when, and if, it declares dividends on its common stock. The issue also provides further guidance in applying the two-class method of calculating earnings per share, clarifying what constitutes a participating security and how to apply the two-class method of computing earnings per share once it is determined that a security is participating, including how to allocate undistributed earnings to such a security. EITF 03-06 is effective for fiscal periods beginning after March 31, 2004. The adoption of EITF 03-06 did not have a material effect on Insignia’s results of operations or financial position.
      In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004) “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123R”), a revision to SFAS 123. SFAS 123R addresses all forms of share-based payment (“SBP”) awards, including shares issued under the 1995 Incentive Stock Option Plan (“Purchase Plan”), stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units and stock appreciation rights. SFAS 123R will require the Company to record compensation expense for SBP awards in our statements of operations based on the fair value of the SBP awards. Under SFAS 123R, restricted stock and restricted stock units will generally be valued by reference to the market value of freely tradable shares of the Company’s ordinary shares. Stock options, stock appreciation rights and shares issued under the Purchase Plan will generally be valued at fair value determined through an option valuation model, such as a lattice model or the Black-Scholes model (the model that Insignia currently uses for its footnote disclosure). SFAS 123R is effective for annual periods beginning after June 15, 2005 and, accordingly, Insignia must adopt the new accounting provisions effective

29


Table of Contents

January 1, 2006. The Company will adopt the provisions of SFAS 123R using a modified prospective application. Under a modified prospective application, SFAS 123R will apply to new awards and to awards that are outstanding on the effective date and are subsequently modified or cancelled. Compensation expense for outstanding awards for which the requisite service had not been rendered as of the effective date will be recognized over the remaining service period using the compensation cost calculated for pro forma disclosure purposes under SFAS 123. The Company is in the process of determining how the new method of valuing stock-based compensation as prescribed in SFAS 123R will be applied to valuing stock-based awards granted after the effective date and the impact the recognition of compensation expense related to such awards will have on its consolidated financial statements.
      In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS 153, “Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets, an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29” (“SFAS 153”). SFAS 153 addresses the measurement of exchanges of nonmonetary assets and redefines the scope of transactions that should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged. SFAS 153 is effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges beginning in our first quarter of fiscal 2006. We do not believe adoption of SFAS 153 will have a material impact on our results of operations or financial condition.
      In June 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, “Accounting changes and Error Corrections, a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20, Accounting Changes, and Statement No. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements” (“SFAS 154”). SFAS 154 will require companies to account for and apply changes in accounting principles retrospectively to prior periods’ financial statements, instead of recording a cumulative effect adjustment within the period of the change, unless it is impracticable to determine the effects of the change to each period being presented. SFAS 154 is effective for accounting changes made in annual periods beginning after December 15, 2005 and, accordingly, we must adopt the new accounting provisions effective January 1, 2006. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS 154 to have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
      At December 31, 2004, we had $109,000 in cash held in foreign currencies as translated at period end foreign currency exchange rates. Most of our foreign currencies are British pound sterling and are primarily used for paying the local operating expenses of our U.K. office. The effect of foreign exchange rate fluctuations on operations resulted in income of $21,000 and $35,000 for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, we did not engage in any foreign currency hedging activities.
      We have, at times, an investment portfolio of fixed income securities that are classified as “available-for-sale-securities.” These securities, like all fixed income instruments, are subject to interest rate risk and will fall in value if market interest rates increase. We attempt to limit this exposure by investing primarily in short-term securities.
Internal Controls
      In connection with its audit for the six-month period ended June 30, 2005, Burr, Pilger & Mayer LLP (“BPM”), our independent registered public accounting firm, identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. Deficiencies noted related to our failure to complete, on a timely basis, a proper analysis of, accounting for, and management review of (i) certain complex equity transactions, (ii) our acquisition of Mi4e, and (iii) activity related to Mi4e subsequent to the closing of our acquisition. In response to the internal control matters identified above, we recruited in August 2005 a controller in Sweden to oversee the accounting for Mi4e and plan to obtain appropriate professional assistance at the time we engage in unusual and/or complex financial transactions.
      The existence of the above deficiencies in the design or operation of our internal control could adversely affect our ability to record, process, summarize and report financial data consistent with the assertions of management in the consolidated financial statements. Such deficiencies primarily related to our lack of maintenance of effective controls over the financial reporting process because we did not have a sufficient complement of personnel with technical accounting and financial reporting expertise commensurate with our financial reporting requirements, as a result of employee turnover, transition, and limited resources.

      We commenced operations in 1986 and currently develop, market and support software technologies that enable mobile operators and phone manufacturers to better update, configure and manage today’s more complex mobile phones using standard over-the-air data networks. Before 2003, our principal product line was the Jeodetm platform, based on our Embedded Virtual Machine technology. The Jeode platform was our implementation of Sun Microsystems, Inc.’s Java® technology tailored for smart devices. During 2001, we began development of a range of products (“SSP” products) for the mobile phone and wireless operator industry. The SSP products build on our position as a Virtual Machine supplier for manufacturers of mobile devices and allow wireless operators and phone manufacturers to reduce customer care and software recall costs, as well as increase subscriber revenue by deploying new mobile services based on dynamically provisioning of new capabilities. With the sale of our Jeode product line in April 2003, our sole product line then consisted of our SSP products. We shipped our first SSP product in December 2003. In March 2005, we acquired Mi4e, a private company headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden. Mi4e was founded in 2003 and had $646,000 of revenues in 2004. Mi4e’s main product, a device management server, is a mobile device management infrastructure solution for mobile operators that supports the Open Mobile Alliance client provisioning specification. DMS was first deployed at Telstra in Australia in 2000 and has since been deployed at more than ten carriers around the world. By integrating the Mi4e products with existing Insignia applications, we are able to deliver a more comprehensive solution to mobile network operators and handset manufacturers.
Industry Overview
      The telecommunications industry is moving very quickly towards providing sophisticated data services on a wide variety of different mobile terminals. Mobile phones, terminals and other portable devices are becoming more sophisticated and accordingly the software within them is becoming more complex and hence less reliable. Operators want to introduce additional services, but are limited by the capabilities of the existing phones.
The Trend Towards More Complex Software
      As more and more advanced features are packed into mobile phones, the software becomes more complex, leading to more software problems. However, consumers have come to expect the same level of reliability and performance as that to which they are accustomed from their traditional voice-only fixed phones. Thus, the addition of more software on the mobile phones creates a new critical challenge for operators and device manufacturers — ensuring consistent reliability and performance.
      Due to increased software functionality and hence complexity, manufacturers are experiencing a high incidence of problems with feature phones, adding a significant maintenance expense for the telecommunications industry. Mobile phone recalls can be expensive. Manufacturers are often responsible for the entire recall operation, ranging from notification and taking customer calls to re-flashing and administering the entire process. Curbing these costs through a comprehensive “Over-The-Air Repair”tm system will significantly reduce the manufacturers’ costs by minimizing the need for in-store and through-the-mail repairs and by reducing customer service personnel.
Evolution of Mobile Terminals
      In the 1980’s, when the first large scale commercial mobile services were launched in the United States, the mobile handsets or “terminals” available for services were analog voice-only terminals. Even when the first digital terminals came into the market, they were voice-only terminals. As the global subscriber base for mobile services grew exponentially in the 1990’s, static applications such as address books and games as well as communication applications such as short message service text messaging (“SMS”) were packed into the terminals. With the Internet boom in the mid to late 1990’s, mobile terminals evolved into sophisticated data

terminals as well by integrating them with web browsers. As the need for data bandwidth grew, high-speed data technologies such as General Packet Radio Service (“GPRS”) and Code Division Multiple Access (“CDMA”) emerged, and the new models of mobile phones incorporated these high-speed data technologies. Toward the end of the 1990’s, the mobile terminals took another leap with the introduction of the concept of downloadable applications. In addition, evolving standards were introduced which allowed the transfer and synchronization of data in the mobile terminals with other devices such as personal computers and personal data assistants. With the wider deployment of an enhanced phone for photo imaging, game playing and more messaging technologies, as well as the increasing coverage of more robust networks, the number of features built into mobile phones has further increased.
      The result of this rapid transformation of mobile terminals from voice-only terminals to sophisticated all-purpose consumer devices is that the software running on the mobile terminal has become extremely complex and hence vulnerable to problems.
      In response to this need, mobile device management (“MDM”) solutions have emerged to enable users to remotely configure, update and monitor mobile connected devices.
      More specifically, MDM solutions today enable mobile operators to configure and update settings, install new capabilities, query a device to determine its status, upgrade or update software components or the entire software load, monitor a device for errors and automatically respond to those errors with corrective measures.
      These capabilities enable a wide range of powerful new functions including;
  •  Highly targeted configuration of devices to suit a mobile subscriber’s interests, including downloading audio and video, graphics, applications and games, all capabilities that mobile operators around the world are seeking to increase revenues;
 
  •  Automatic monitoring and corrective response to failures, which reduce technical support costs and subscriber frustration with ever-more complex devices;
 
  •  Automatic device configuration to eliminate the need for subscriber intervention to insure that the supported data services work out of the box; and
 
  •  Enterprise control over their dispersed work force mobile devices to remotely deploy and update mobile applications, insure that they work, and to insure that the correct security measures are in place and that only authorized applications are being used.
      When deployed correctly, mobile device management technologies can improve the subscriber’s experience, reduce costs of support and increase data services revenues for the operator, decrease handset vendor support and warranty costs and enable corporations to deploy and manage new mobile applications to their workforce.
      Initial interest in MDM solutions came from handset vendors that were focused on controlling escalating support costs. We believe that mobile operators are now becoming interested in the ability to use MDM solutions to drive increased data revenues. In addition, we, are now beginning to see early signs of interest from large enterprises deploying applications to a mobile workforce, who are beginning to recognize the ability to use MDM solutions to manage mobile applications deployed on smart phones.
      For example, mobile operators are not maximizing data revenues or subscriber experience if a 14-year-old boy’s phone is configured the same way as the phone for a 40-year-old professional in the field. However, today, that is generally what happens. If the phones were configured with meaningful home pages, bookmarks, MP3 content, games, etc., the new data services could be merchandised in a compelling way to interested subscribers. We believe that mobile operators are beginning to recognize this opportunity and are now moving to adopt solutions that enable a dynamic approach to their subscriber base.
      The Open Mobile Alliance or “OMA”, the leading standards body for the GSM world, has codified standards over the past year to support new and higher levels of manageability of mobile devices. The OMA has progressed from simple configuration of data services, like SMS, MMS and GPRS, to the ability to create customized managed objects and to be able to both read and write these settings. More recently, they

introduced specifications for the updating of firmware. We believe that the OMA plans to release new specifications for diagnostics and alerts, and the ability to install new bundled capabilities and content in a seamless transaction, opening the way for fast evolving innovations in mobile content similar to what has been seen in the personal computer.
      As a result, we believe that there is an opportunity to lead in the development of standards based mobile device management solutions and in so doing deliver significant value to subscribers, the mobile operators, handset vendors and the enterprises who will be deploying these applications. We have delivered a powerful solution based on current OMA standards and we intend to support future standards as they evolve.
Products and Support
Summary
      The SSP product line has been available since December 2003. The SSP product line revenue model is based on a combination of indirect sales to customers through OEMs as well as direct sales to customers. SSP product line revenues accounted for 83% and 3% of total Insignia revenues in 2004 and 2003, respectively, and 39% of total Insignia revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2005. In June 2005, Insignia ceased using the SSP brand name, upon the release of an integrated server solution that incorporated SSP and Mi4e’s DMS. The integrated server solution is now marketed under the Insignia Device Management Suite (“IDMS”) brand.
Insignia’s Device Management Suite
      Insignia’s IDMS brings intelligence to device management to enhance subscriber satisfaction with increasingly complex mobile services. The IDMS allows mobile operators to remotely provision, update, and manage devices and services throughout the device lifecycle. ICEtm, IDMS includes providing intelligent targeted provisioning and automated device management to further enhance the subscriber’s experience, drive new revenue generating services, and reduce customer care costs.
      Insignia’s IDMS removes the complexity of configuring new service parameters and enables more flexible and dynamic service offerings. The system can automatically configure bundled services when the network detects the device, and new personalized services can be added quickly and simply. We believe that these benefits can help mobile operators achieve increased service usage and loyalty from their subscribers.
      Automatic configuration eliminates factory provisioning costs, and ensures that subscribers have up-to-date service configurations right out of the box. As a result, mobile operators can have greater control and improved management of devices and subscriber satisfaction.
Insignia’s Open Management Client
      Insignia’s Open Management Client (“OMC”) works with any server infrastructure compatible with the latest OMA DM standard. OMA DM defines a framework for remotely managing today’s complex mobile devices. It enables device manufacturers and mobile operators to remotely:
  •  Configure device and service parameters;
 
  •  Install and update firmware and applications; and
 
  •  Retrieve device management information.
      The OMC implements the complete OMA DM specification including the FUMO (Firmware Update Management Object) enabler. The OMC supports download of firmware by both DL and in-session download methods. The OMC consists of two main modules — the OMA DM client and the update agent. An optional OMA DS (Data Sync) capability is also available.

Support
      We offer both pre-sales and post-sales support to our customers. Pre-sales support is provided at no charge. After the sale of a license, each customer is offered a renewable one year annual maintenance contract which entitles the customer to receive standard support, including: web-based support, access to frequently asked questions (“FAQs”), on-line publications and documentation, email assistance, limited telephone support, and critical bug fixes and product updates (collective bug fixes and minor enhancements) on an “if and when available” basis. We also have a professional services group based in Stockholm which provides consulting, implementation and training services for our customers.
Research and Development
      In the six months ended June 30, 2005 and calendar 2004 and 2003, we spent approximately $1.6 million, $2.8 million and, $3.4 million, respectively, on research and development. At June 30, 2005, we had 15 full-time employees engaged in research and development, of which 7 were located at our facility in the United Kingdom, 5 in Sweden and 3 were located at our facility in Fremont, California.
Proprietary Rights
      We rely on a combination of copyright, trademark and trade secret laws and confidentiality procedures to protect our proprietary rights. We have filed in the United Kingdom and the United States patent applications for innovative technologies incorporated into our SSP product. As part of our confidentiality procedures, we generally enter into non-disclosure agreements with our employees, consultants, distributors and corporate partners, and we limit access to and distribution of our software, documentation and other proprietary information. Despite these precautions, it may be possible for a third party to copy or otherwise to obtain and use our products or technology without authorization, or to develop similar technology independently. In addition, effective protection of intellectual property rights may be unavailable or limited in certain countries. We license technology from various third parties.
      We may, from time to time, receive communications from third parties asserting that our products infringe, or may infringe, on their proprietary rights. Licenses to disputed third-party technology may not be available on reasonable commercial terms, if at all. In addition, we may initiate claims or litigation against third parties for infringement of our proprietary rights or to establish the validity of our proprietary rights. Litigation to determine the validity of any claims could result in significant expense to us and divert the efforts of our technical and management personnel from productive tasks, whether or not such litigation is determined in our favor. In the event of an adverse ruling in any such litigation, we may be required to pay substantial damages, discontinue the use and sale of infringing products, and expend significant resources to develop non-infringing technology or obtain licenses to infringing technology. In the event of a successful claim against us and our failure to develop or license a substitute technology, our business, financial condition and results of operations would suffer. As the number of software products in the industry increases and the functionality of these products further overlaps, we believe that software developers may become increasingly subject to infringement claims. Any such claims against us, with or without merit, as well as claims initiated by us against third parties, can be time consuming and expensive to defend or prosecute and to resolve.
Sales and Marketing
      Our products are being sold and marketed to mobile operators and device manufacturers through direct and indirect channels. Our direct sales force is based in the United States, covering Asia, and Sweden, covering Europe. Our sales force consists of direct sales representatives and sales engineers. Our indirect sales channels include distributors and original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”).

      In an effort to accelerate the acceptance of our products, we have developed cooperative alliances and entered into reseller agreements with leading enterprise software vendors, OEMs, and system integrators. We believe these alliances have the potential to provide additional marketing and sales channels for our products, help enable us to raise awareness of our products among OEMs and mobile operators, and facilitate market acceptance for our products. To date, however, these alliances have not proven to be a reliable source of revenue, and we continue to depend upon our direct sales force for the significant part of our revenue. We typically have very little backlog and, accordingly, generate substantially all of our revenue for a given quarter in that quarter.
      Our marketing efforts are directed at creating market awareness and generating sales leads. In 2004 and 2005, our marketing efforts were focused on the operator market, with the goal of establishing Insignia as a leading provider of software to update and configure mobile devices. During this time, we have worked to educate industry analysts, OEMs, distributors and mobile operators about our technology and its competitive advantages. Marketing activities include: inside sales, Web seminars, e-marketing techniques and opportunity generation prospecting activities. In addition, our public relations programs are designed to build market awareness by establishing and maintaining relationships with key trade press, business press, and industry analysts.
Competition
      Our products are targeted for the mobile operator and mobile device market. The market for these products is fragmented and highly competitive. This market is also rapidly changing, and there are many companies creating products that compete or will compete with ours. As the industry develops, we expect competition to increase in the future. This competition may come from existing competitors or other companies that we do not yet know about. Our main competitors include Bitfone, IBM, InnoPath, 4thPass, mFormation, Openwave and Red Bend.
      If these competitors develop products that are less expensive or provide better capabilities or functionality than our products, we will be unable to gain market share. Many of our current competitors and potential competitors have greater resources, including larger customer bases and greater financial resources than we do, and we might not be able to compete successfully against these companies. A variety of other potential actions by our competitors, including increased promotion and accelerated introduction of new or enhanced products, could also harm our competitive position.
Employees
      As of June 30, 2005, we employed 37 regular full-time persons of which 14 were located in the United States, 8 in the United Kingdom and 15 in Sweden. Of the 14 people in the United States, 5 were in sales and marketing, 3 in research and development and 6 in administration and finance. Of the 8 people in the United Kingdom, 7 were in research and development and 1 was in administration and finance. Of the

35

15 people in Sweden, 5 were in research and development, 4 in customer support, 4 in sales and marketing and 2 in administration. None of our employees are represented by a labor union, and we have experienced no work stoppages. We believe that our employee relations are good.
Facilities
      Our headquarters and principal management, sales and marketing and support facility is located in Fremont, California. On April 8, 2003, we entered into a three-year contract lease renewal for approximately 9,500 square feet. Our principal European sales, research and development and administrative facility is located in High Wycombe, in the United Kingdom, and consists of approximately 5,000 square feet under a lease that will expire in August 2013. In April 2003, as part of the sale of the Jeode product line to Esmertec, Esmertec entered into an agreement with our U.K. building landlord to take over the leasehold property on one of the two buildings located in High Wycombe. Effective February 1, 2004, we subleased half of our remaining U.K. office space until December 31, 2005. In addition, we have a sales, research and development facility in Sweden, which we have occupied since August 2005 under a three-year lease.

Table of Contents

      The following table sets forth further information regarding individual option grants to purchase ordinary shares during 2004 to each of the Named Officers. In accordance with the rules of the SEC, the table sets forth the hypothetical gains or “option spreads” that would exist for the options at the end of their respective ten-year terms. These gains are based on assumed rates of annual compounded share price appreciation of 5% and 10% from the dates the options were granted to the end of the respective option terms. Actual gains, if any, on option exercises depend upon the future performance of the ordinary shares and ADSs. There can be no assurance that the potential realizable values shown in this table will be achieved.

These options vest and become exercisable at the rate of 2.0833% of the shares for each full month that the optionee renders service to Insignia. The option exercise price is equal to the fair market value of Insignia’s ordinary shares on the date of grant and the options expire ten years from the date of grant, subject to earlier termination upon termination of employment.
 
(3)  These incentive options were granted pursuant to Insignia’s 1995 Incentive Stock Option Plan for U.S. Employees. These options vest and become exercisable as to 25% of the shares on the first anniversary of the date of the grant and thereafter at the rate of 2.0833% of the shares for each full month that the optionee renders service to Insignia. The option exercise price is equal to the fair market value of Insignia’s ordinary shares on the date of grant and the options expire ten years from the date of grant, subject to earlier termination upon termination of employment.

Employment agreements
      In connection with the termination of Mr. Noling’s employment in February 2003, Insignia entered into a separation agreement with Mr. Noling pursuant to which Insignia agreed to pay as severance to Mr. Noling his regular monthly base salary for a six-month period, which severance would be reduced to 50% of his base salary in the event that Mr. Noling commenced new employment during such period. All stock options held by Mr. Noling will continue to vest for so long as he continues to serve as a member of the board of directors.
      We have entered into a change of control severance agreement with Mark E. McMillan pursuant to which we will continue to pay his salary for up to six months if he is terminated in connection with a change of control of the Company.
RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
      On February 13, 2001, Insignia entered into a promissory note with Richard M. Noling, President and Chief Executive Officer of Insignia whereby Mr. Noling borrowed $150,000 from the U.S.-based subsidiary of Insignia. Mr. Noling’s employment was terminated with Insignia effective February 14, 2003. We forgave, effective March 6, 2003 the balance of the loan, $125,362.50, in lieu of any bonus compensation.
      On October 17, 2002, we entered into a securities subscription agreement with Fusion Capital Fund II, LLC (“Fusion Capital”), pursuant to which Fusion Capital agreed to purchase, on each trading day following the effectiveness of a registration statement covering the ADSs to be purchased by Fusion Capital, $10,000 of our ADSs up to an aggregate of $6.0 million over a period of 30 months. The purchase price of the ADSs was based on a formula based on the market price at the time of each purchase. During 2003, we issued and sold to Fusion Capital 3,380,132 ADSs resulting in proceeds of $1.9 million, net of transaction costs, under the 2002 Fusion Capital securities subscription agreement In 2004, we sold 3,100,060 shares to Fusion Capital for aggregate proceeds of $1.5 million, net of transaction costs, under the 2002 Fusion Capital securities subscription agreement. During January 2005, we sold 299,007 ADSs for $200,000 under the 2002 Fusion Capital agreement.
      In addition to the shares purchased by Fusion Capital under the 2002 Fusion Capital securities subscription agreement, we also issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,000,000 ADSs to Fusion Capital on February 10, 2005, with a per share exercise price of the United States dollar equivalent of 20.5 pence. Upon Fusion’s exercise of the warrants in 2003, we issued Fusion Capital 2,000,000 ADSs for a total of $668,000, net of issuance costs.
      Two investors in the private placement on October 18, 2004 were related parties of Insignia. Mark McMillan, our Chief Executive Officer, invested $25,000 to purchase 52,083 ADSs and warrants to purchase 13,021 ADSs. In addition Vincent Pino, one of our directors, and his immediate family invested $200,000 to purchase 416,667 ADSs and warrants to purchase 104,167 ADSs.
      On February 9, 2005, Insignia sold to Fusion Capital 3,220,801 ADSs at a purchase price of $0.40 per share, resulting in proceeds of approximately $1.3 million. These shares were issued to Fusion Capital in a private placement.

      On February 9, 2005, Insignia and Fusion Capital entered into a mutual termination agreement pursuant to which the 2002 Fusion Capital securities subscription agreement was terminated.
      On February 10, 2005, Insignia entered into the 2005 Fusion Capital securities subscription agreement with Fusion Capital to sell up to $12 million in ADSs, representing ordinary shares, to Fusion Capital over a period of 30 months. The shares will be priced based on a market-based formula at the time of purchase. The commencement of funding under the 2005 Fusion Capital securities subscription agreement is subject to certain conditions, including the declaration of effectiveness by the Securities and Exchange Commission of the registration statement covering the ADSs to be purchased by Fusion Capital under the 2005 Fusion Capital securities subscription agreement, of which this prospectus is a part.
      On March 16, 2005, we closed our acquisition of Mi4e. The consideration paid in the transaction was 2,969,692 ADSs representing ordinary shares and another 989,896 ADSs will be issuable on March 31, 2006, subject to potential offset for breach of representations, warranties and covenants. In addition up to a maximum of 700,000 euros is payable in a potential earn out based on a percentage of future revenue collected from sales of existing Mi4e products. Anders Furehed, an indirect 50% shareholder of Mi4e who thus received 1,484,846 ADSs on the closing of the acquisition, became our senior vice president of European operations upon the closing.
THE 2005 FUSION CAPITAL TRANSACTION
General
      On February 10, 2005 we entered into the 2005 Fusion Capital securities subscription agreement with Fusion Capital pursuant to which Fusion Capital agreed to purchase on each trading day after the commencement of funding under the 2005 Fusion Capital securities subscription agreement, $20,000 of our ADSs, for an aggregate of up to $12.0 million. The $12.0 million in ADSs is to be subscribed for over a 30-month period, subject to earlier termination at our discretion. The subscription price of the ADSs will be based on a market-based formula at the time of purchase. However, Fusion shall not have the right nor the obligation to subscribe for any ADSs under the agreement on any trading day where the subscription price per share for any subscriptions of the ADSs would be less than $0.40 (subject to adjustment for stock splits, dividends and the like). We have authorized the sale and issuance of up to $12.0 million of our shares to Fusion Capital under the 2005 Fusion Capital securities subscription agreement, of which we are registering 20,000,000 shares (including 4,000,000 shares for issuance on exercise of warrants issued to Fusion as a commitment fee) under this prospectus. The commencement of funding under the 2005 Fusion Capital securities subscription agreement is subject to certain conditions, including the declaration of effectiveness by the Securities and Exchange Commission of the registration statement covering the ADSs of which this prospectus forms a part.
Purchase of Shares under the 2005 Fusion Capital Securities Subscription Agreement
      Under the 2005 Fusion Capital securities subscription agreement, on each trading day after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, Fusion Capital is obligated to purchase $20,000 of our shares so long as the market price of our shares remains above $0.40. Subject to our right to suspend such sales at any time, and our right to terminate the agreement with Fusion Capital at any time, each as described below, Fusion Capital shall purchase on each trading day during the term of the agreement $20,000 of our shares. We may decrease this daily purchase amount at any time. We also have the right to incrementally increase the daily purchase amount as the trading price of our shares increases, provided however, we may not increase the daily purchase amount above $20,000 unless our stock price is above $1.00 per share for five consecutive trading days. The purchase price per share is equal to the lesser of:
  •  the lowest sale price of our shares on the purchase date; or
 
  •  the average of the five lowest closing sale prices of our shares during the 15 consecutive trading days prior to the date of a purchase by Fusion Capital.

43


Table of Contents

      The purchase price will be adjusted for any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock split, or other similar transaction occurring during the trading days in which the closing sale price is used to compute the purchase price. Fusion Capital may not purchase shares under the 2005 Fusion Capital securities subscription agreement if Fusion Capital, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own more than 9.9% of our shares outstanding at the time of the purchase by Fusion Capital. If the 9.9% limitation is ever reached, we have the option to increase the limit above 9.9% upon twenty (20) trading days notice to Fusion. Fusion Capital has the right at any time to sell any shares purchased under the 2005 Fusion Capital securities subscription agreement, which would allow it to avoid the 9.9% limitation. Therefore, we do not believe that Fusion Capital will ever exceed the 9.9% limitation.
      The following table sets forth the total number of shares that would be sold to Fusion Capital under the 2005 Fusion Capital securities subscription agreement at varying purchase prices:

(1)  Based on 42,503,025 shares outstanding as of August 1, 2005 plus the shares issuable to Fusion Capital under the 2005 Fusion Capital securities subscription agreement. Does not include the issuance of 4,000,000 shares issuable to Fusion Capital under warrants pursuant to the 2005 Fusion Capital securities subscription agreement, which result in proceeds of approximately $1,540,000.
      We will issue no more than 20,000,000 shares to Fusion Capital under the 2005 Fusion Capital securities subscription agreement, including 4,000,000 shares issuable upon the exercise of warrants as described in the section entitled “Fusion Transaction — Warrants Issued to Fusion Capital.”
      We only have the right to receive $20,000 per trading day under the agreement with Fusion Capital unless our stock price equals or exceeds $1.00, in which case the daily amount may be increased under certain conditions as the price of our common stock increases. Fusion Capital shall not have the right nor be obligated to purchase any shares of our common stock on any trading days that the market price of our common stock is less than $0.40. Because we are registering 20,000,000 shares under the 2005 Fusion Capital securities subscription agreement for sale by Fusion Capital pursuant to this prospectus (of which 4,000,000 shares are purchasable upon exercise of warrants issued to Fusion Capital), the selling price of our ADSs will have to average at least $0.75 per share for us to receive the maximum proceeds of $12,000,000. Assuming a purchase price of $0.41 per share (the closing sale price of our ADSs on September 30, 2005) and the purchase by Fusion Capital of 16,000,000 shares under the 2005 Fusion Capital securities subscription agreement that are offered pursuant to this prospectus, proceeds to us would be $6,560,000, plus up to approximately $1,540,000 from exercise of warrants.
Minimum Purchase Price
      We will not issue any ADSs under the 2005 Fusion Capital securities subscription agreement on any trading day on which the purchase price (as calculated in the preceding section) would be less than $0.40 (subject to adjustment for stock splits, dividends and the like). Our closing share price from April 25 to 28,

44


Table of Contents

2005 was between $0.32 and $0.37 which is below this minimum amount. Thus if our share price is not above $0.40 per share, we will not be able to sell shares to Fusion under this subscription agreement.
Compliance with Nasdaq Market Rules and the Laws of England and Wales
      Our shares are listed on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market. Under Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4350(i)(1)(D), shareholder approval is required in connection with a transaction other than a public offering involving the sale, issuance or potential issuance by the issuer of common stock at a price less than the greater of book or market value, which equals 20% or more of the common stock outstanding before the issuance. Thus, to ensure compliance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4350(i)(1)(D) we held an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders on May 24, 2005 at which shareholders approved the 2005 Fusion Capital securities subscription agreement.
      Under the laws of England and Wales, we are not permitted to sell our ADSs at a purchase price that is less than the nominal value of our ordinary shares. Currently, the nominal value per ordinary share is 20 pence. At our general meeting of shareholders held on September 30, 2005, our shareholders approved a reduction of the nominal value of our ordinary shares from 20 pence per share to 1 pence per share. Such reduction will become effective once the order of the English High Court confirming it is registered with the U.K. Registrar of Companies, which we expect to be completed by the end of January 2006. In addition, Insignia will not effect any issuance of ordinary shares (or have its transfer agent or depository issue any ADSs) on any trading day where the purchase price for any subscriptions would be less than the U.S. dollar equivalent of 102.5% of the then nominal value of the ordinary shares.
Our Right to Suspend Sales
      We have the unconditional right to suspend sales under the 2005 Fusion Capital securities subscription agreement at any time for any reason effective upon one trading day’s notice. Any suspension would remain in effect until our revocation of the suspension. To the extent we need to use the cash proceeds of the sales of shares under the 2005 Fusion Capital securities subscription agreement for working capital or other business purposes, we do not intend to restrict purchases under the 2005 Fusion Capital securities subscription agreement.
Our Right to Increase and Decrease the Purchase Amount
      We have the unconditional right to decrease the daily amount to be purchased by Fusion Capital at any time for any reason effective upon one trading day’s notice. We also have the right to increase the daily purchase amount effective upon five trading days notice as the market price of our shares increases. Specifically, for every $0.10 increase in the threshold price above $0.90, we will have the right to increase the daily purchase amount by up to an additional $5,000. For example, if the threshold price is $1.00 we would have the right to increase the daily purchase amount to up to an aggregate of $25,000. The “threshold price” is the lowest sale price of our shares during the five trading days immediately preceding our notice to Fusion Capital to increase the daily purchase amount. If at any time during any trading day the sale price of our shares is below the threshold price, the applicable increase in the daily purchase amount will be void.
      In addition to the daily purchase amount, we may elect to require Fusion to purchase on any single trading day shares in an amount up to $500,000, provided that the Insignia share price is above $0.75 during the five trading days prior thereto. The price at which such shares would be purchased will be the lowest purchase price during the previous fifteen (15) trading days prior to the date that such purchase notice was received by Fusion. We may increase this amount to up to $1,000,000 if the Insignia share price is above $1.50 during the five trading days prior to Insignia’s delivery of the purchase notice to Fusion. The amount may also be increased to up to $2,000,000 if the Insignia share price is above $3.00 during the five trading days prior to Insignia’s delivery of the purchase notice to Fusion. Insignia may deliver multiple purchase notices; however at least ten (10) trading days must have passed since the most recent non-daily purchase was completed.

Our Termination Rights
      We have the unconditional right at any time for any reason to give notice to Fusion Capital terminating the 2005 Fusion Capital securities subscription agreement. Such notice shall be effective one trading day after Fusion Capital receives such notice.
Registration of the Shares Issued and Sold to Fusion Capital
      We have filed the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part in order to register the sale of the shares to be issued to Fusion Capital pursuant to the 2005 Fusion Capital securities subscription agreement. The commencement of funding under the 2005 Fusion Capital securities subscription agreement is subject to the SEC’s declaration of effectiveness of this registration statement. After this registration statement is declared effective by the SEC, all shares registered will be freely tradable. It is anticipated that shares registered under the registration statement will be sold over a period of up to 30 months from the effective date of the registration statement. The sale of a significant number of shares at any given time could cause the trading price of our shares to decline and to be highly volatile. Fusion Capital may ultimately purchase up to $12.0 million of our shares under the 2005 Fusion Capital securities subscription agreement, of which we are registering under this prospectus 20,000,000 shares (including 4,000,000 shares issuable on exercise of the warrants), and it may sell some, none or all of the shares it acquires upon purchase. Therefore, the purchases under the 2005 Fusion Capital securities subscription agreement may result in substantial dilution to the interests of other holders of our securities.
No Short-Selling or Hedging by Fusion Capital
      Fusion Capital has agreed that neither it nor any of its affiliates shall engage in any direct or indirect short-selling or hedging of our shares during any time prior to the termination of the 2005 Fusion Capital securities subscription agreement.
Events of Default
      Generally, Fusion Capital may terminate the 2005 Fusion Capital securities subscription agreement without any liability or payment to us upon the occurrence of any of the following events of default:
  •  the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part lapses for any reason (including, without limitation, the issuance of a stop order) or is unavailable to Fusion Capital for sale of the shares sold to Fusion Capital pursuant to the 2005 Fusion Capital securities subscription agreement (including shares issuable on exercise of warrants) and such lapse or unavailability continues for a period of five consecutive trading days or for more than an aggregate of 20 trading days in any 365-day period;
 
  •  suspension of our shares from trading on our principal market (currently the Nasdaq SmallCap Market) for a period of three consecutive trading days;
 
  •  the delisting of our shares from the Nasdaq SmallCap Market, provided our shares are not immediately thereafter trading on the New York Stock Exchange, the Nasdaq National Market or the American Stock Exchange;
 
  •  the transfer agent’s failure for five trading days to issue to Fusion Capital any shares to which Fusion Capital is entitled under the 2005 Fusion Capital securities subscription agreement;
 
  •  any breach of the representations, warranties or covenants contained in the 2005 Fusion Capital securities subscription agreement or any related agreements which has or which could have a material adverse affect on us subject to a cure period (for any breach of a covenant that is reasonably curable) of five trading days;
 
  •  any participation or threatened participation in insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings by or against us; or
 
  •  a material adverse change in our business.

Warrants Issued to Fusion Capital
      Under the terms of the 2005 Fusion Capital securities subscription agreement we issued to Fusion Capital two warrants for ADSs, each for 2,000,000 ADSs. The exercise price per share of the ADSs subject to one warrant is 20.5 pence, which equaled $0.36 on August 1, 2005 (to be adjusted for any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, share split, or other similar transaction). The exercise price per share of the ADSs subject to the other warrant is the greater of the U.S. dollar equivalent of 20.5 pence or $0.40 (to be adjusted for any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, share split, or other similar transaction). Each warrant expires on February 28, 2010. The warrants are immediately exercisable; however, Fusion Capital may not exercise the warrants if Fusion Capital, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own more than 9.9% of our shares outstanding at the time of the exercise by Fusion Capital.
No Variable Priced Financings
      Until the termination of the 2005 Fusion Capital securities subscription agreement, we have agreed not to issue, or enter into any agreement with respect to the issuance of, any variable priced equity or variable priced equity-like securities unless we have delivered prior written notice of such proposed financing to Fusion Capital.
THE OCTOBER 2004 PRIVATE PLACEMENT
      On October 18, 2004, we issued 3,208,499 ADSs at a purchase price of $0.48 per share and warrants to purchase 802,127 ADSs at an exercise price of $1.06 per share to certain purchasers. In addition, in July 2005, we issued to each of these purchasers a warrant (a “Penalty Warrant”) to purchase ADSs equal to 6% of the shares purchased by such purchaser at the closing. The exercise price for the penalty warrants is $1.11 per share. In connection with the October 2004 private placement, we paid our placement agent, Nash Fitzwilliams Ltd., a customary fee, and also issued a warrant to Novelstack Ltd. and warrants to Alan Nash and Duncan Fitzwilliams, the two principals of Nash Fitzwilliams Ltd., to purchase an aggregate of 204,597 of our ADSs at an exercise price of $1.06 per share, as compensation for services as placement agent to us. The warrants expire if unexercised on the earlier of April 18, 2010 or an acquisition or other change of control of Insignia.
THE FEBRUARY 2005 PRIVATE PLACEMENT
      On February 9, 2005, Insignia sold to Fusion Capital 3,220,801 ADSs at a purchase price of $0.40 per share, resulting in proceeds of approximately $1.3 million. These shares were issued to Fusion Capital in a private placement.
THE JUNE/ JULY 2005 PRIVATE PLACEMENT
      On June 30, 2005 and July 5, 2005, we and our wholly-owned subsidiary, Insignia Solutions Inc., entered into securities subscription agreements with Fusion Capital and other investors. Pursuant to these subscription agreements, we completed a closing for an aggregate of $1,000,000 on June 30, 2005 (including exchange of the $275,000 bridge notes), and we completed a second closing on July 5, 2005 for an additional $440,400. Pursuant to these subscription agreements, our subsidiary issued its Series A preferred stock, to the investors. This preferred stock is non-redeemable. The shares of preferred stock (plus all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon) held by each investor are exchangeable for ADSs (i) at any time at the election of investor, (ii) automatically upon written notice by us to the investor in the event that the sale price of the ADSs on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market is greater than $1.50 per share for a period of ten consecutive trading days, and certain other conditions are met, and (iii) automatically to the extent any shares of the preferred stock have not been exchanged prior to June 30, 2007. The preferred stock will accrue dividends at a rate of 15% per year compounded annually until June 30, 2007, at which time no further dividends will accrue, and are payable in the form of additional ADSs.

SELLING SHAREHOLDERS
      The number of ADSs that may actually be sold by each selling shareholder will be determined by the selling shareholder. Because each selling shareholder may sell all, some or none of the ADSs that they hold, no precise estimate can be given for the number of ADSs that will be held by the selling shareholders at the termination of the offering.
      The selling shareholders have advised us that they are the beneficial owners of the shares being offered. The following table provides information known to us about the beneficial ownership of our ADSs on or about August 1, 2005 by the selling shareholders. The following table assumes that the selling shareholders sell all of the ADSs being offered.
      We have determined beneficial ownership in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Except as indicated by the footnotes below, we believe, based on the information furnished to us, that the persons and entities named in the tables below have sole voting and investment power with respect to all American depositary shares that they beneficially own, subject to applicable community property laws. We have based our calculation of the percentage of beneficial ownership on 42,503,025 American depositary shares outstanding on August 1, 2005.
      Asterisks represent beneficial ownership of less than one percent. Except as indicated by the footnotes below, no selling shareholder has had any material relationship with us or any of our predecessors or affiliates within the last three years. To our knowledge, none of the selling shareholders are broker-dealers or affiliates of broker-dealers. Except as described below, each of the selling shareholders acquired the shares being offered in this prospectus in the ordinary course of business and at the time of acquisition no selling shareholder had direct or indirect agreements or understandings with any person to distribute such shares.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
DESCRIPTION OF SHARES
      The total number of authorized shares of Insignia is 78,000,000, consisting of 75,000,000 ordinary shares, each of 20 pence nominal value and 3,000,000 preferred shares, each of 20 pence nominal value. At our general meeting of shareholders held on September 30, 2005, our shareholders approved an increase of 35,000,000 ordinary shares to our authorized share capital and a reduction of the nominal value of our ordinary shares from 20 pence per share to 1 pence per share. The reduction in the nominal value of our ordinary shares will become effective once the order of the English High Court confirming it is registered with the U.K. Registrar of Companies, which we expect to be completed by the end of January 2006. The increase in our authorized share capital is conditional upon the reduction of the nominal value of our ordinary shares becoming effective.
Ordinary Shares
      All our outstanding and issued ordinary shares are, and all ordinary shares to be resold by Fusion Capital under this prospectus will be, fully paid or credited as fully paid and not subject to calls for additional payments of any kind. The ordinary shares are issued in registered form.
      In the following description, a “shareholder” is the person registered in Insignia’s register of members as the holder of the relevant share. The Depositary will be the shareholder in respect of those ordinary shares represented by ADSs against which American Depository Receipts (“ADRs”) are issued pursuant to the Deposit Agreement. See “Description of American Depository Receipts” for a description of the rights attaching to ADRs.
Dividends
      Holders of ordinary shares are entitled to receive such dividends as may be declared by Insignia. Dividends may either be interim dividends, declared by resolution of the Board of Directors, or final dividends,

57


Table of Contents

which are declared by resolution of the members on the recommendation of the board. To date, there have been no dividends paid to the holders of ordinary shares.
Rights in a Winding Up
      Holders of ordinary shares are entitled to participate in any distribution of assets upon a liquidation, subject to the satisfaction of creditors’ claims and the prior distribution rights of any outstanding preferred shares.
Voting
      Voting at any general meeting of shareholders is decided by a poll. The necessary quorum for a shareholder meeting shall be a minimum of two persons (present in person or by representative in the case of a corporate member) or by proxy holding not less than one-third of the ordinary shares outstanding and issued at the relevant time. For a description of the method by which the ordinary shares held by the Depositary will be voted, see “Description of American Depository Receipts — Voting of Deposited Securities.” Unless otherwise required by law or our Articles of Association, voting in a general meeting is by ordinary resolution (e.g., resolutions for the election of directors, the approval of financial statements, the declaration of final dividends, the appointment of auditors, the increase of authorized shares or the grant of authority to issue shares). An ordinary resolution requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at a meeting at which there is a quorum. A special resolution (e.g., relating to certain matters concerning an alteration of Insignia’s Memorandum or Articles of Association or a winding-up of Insignia) or an extraordinary resolution (e.g., modifying the rights of any class of shares at a meeting of the holders of such class) requires the affirmative vote of not less than three-fourths of the votes cast. Meetings are generally convened upon advance notice of 21 or 14 days (not including the days of delivery or receipt of the notice) depending on the nature of the business to be transacted.
Pre-emptive Rights
      The Companies Act 1985, as amended (the “Companies Act”), confers upon shareholders, to the extent not disapplied, pre-emptive rights in respect of the allotment of equity securities that are or are to be paid up wholly in cash. These provisions may be disapplied by a special resolution of the shareholders, either generally or specifically, for a period not exceeding five years. At Insignia’s Annual General Meeting on September 30, 2005, Insignia’s shareholders authorized Insignia’s Board of Directors, conditional upon the reduction in the nominal value of Insignia’s ordinary shares becoming effective (which we expect to occur by the end of January 2006), to allot securities having an aggregate nominal value of up to £1,110,000, or 51,000,000 ordinary shares of 1 pence nominal value (including the increase of 35 million authorized ordinary shares approved by the shareholders at such meeting) and 3,000,000 preferred shares of 20 pence nominal value, without first offering the shares to existing shareholders, for a period ending September 29, 2010. Insignia intends to propose the renewal of the disapplication of such pre-emptive rights at each annual general meeting of shareholders.
Variation of Rights
      If at any time Insignia’s share capital is divided into different classes of shares, the rights attached to any class may be varied or abrogated, subject to the provisions of the Companies Act 1985, with the written consent of the holders of three-fourths of the issued shares of the class, or with the sanction of an extraordinary resolution passed at a separate meeting of the holders of the shares of that class. At every such separate meeting the quorum is a minimum of two persons holding or representing by proxy not less than one-third in nominal amount of the issued shares of the class, unless all the shares of any class are registered in the name of a single shareholder, in which case the quorum is one person, and each holder of shares of the class will have one vote in respect of every share of the class held by such person.
Disclosure of Interests
      The Companies Act 1985 gives Insignia power, by notice in writing, to require persons whom it knows are, or has reasonable cause to believe to be, or at any time during the 3 years immediately preceding the date on which the notice is issued by Insignia, to have been interested in shares comprised in its relevant share capital to disclose prescribed particulars of those interests to Insignia. For this purpose “relevant share capital” means

58


Table of Contents

Insignia’s issued share capital of a class carrying the right to vote in all circumstances at a general meeting of Insignia. Failure to provide in a timely manner the information requested may result in the imposition of sanctions against the holder of the relevant shares as provided in the Companies Act 1985 and Insignia’s Articles of Association. Sanctions currently include the withdrawal of voting rights of such shares and the imposition of restrictions on the rights to receive dividends on and to transfer such shares. In this context, the term “interest” is broadly defined and will generally include an interest of any kind in shares, including the interest of a holder of an ADS. In addition, under the Companies Act 1985, any person who acquires (alone or, in certain circumstances, with others) a direct or indirect interest in Insignia’s relevant share capital in excess of the “notifiable percentage” (currently 3%, or 10% for certain types of interest) comes under an obligation to disclose prescribed information to us in respect of those shares within a period of two days following the date on which the obligation to notify arises. An obligation of disclosure also arises where such person’s notifiable interest subsequently falls below the notifiable percentage or where, above that level, the percentage of Insignia’s relevant capital in which such person is interested (rounded down to the nearest whole number) increases or decreases. See also “Description of American Depository Receipts — Disclosure of Interests.”
Miscellaneous
      There are currently no U.K. foreign exchange controls on the payment of dividends on the ordinary shares or the conduct of our operations. There are no restrictions under our Memorandum and Articles of Association or under English law that limit the right of non-resident or foreign owners to hold or vote Insignia’s ordinary shares.
Preferred Shares
      As of June 30, 2005, there are authorized but unissued 3,000,000 preferred shares, nominal value of 20 pence per share. At Insignia’s Annual General Meeting on September 30, 2005, Insignia’s shareholders authorized Insignia’s Board of Directors, conditional upon the reduction in the nominal value of Insignia’s ordinary shares becoming effective (which we expect to occur by the end of January 2006), to allot the 3,000,000 preferred shares, without first offering the shares to existing shareholders, for a period ending September 29, 2010. The preferred shares rank in priority to the ordinary shares as regards capital and, if the directors so resolve on the first occasion on which preferred shares are issued, as regards income. The directors have discretion, on the occasion of the first issue of preferred shares, to specify the percentage rate at which dividends will be paid on the capital paid up in respect of the preferred shares, alternatively, if no such percentage rate is specified, the preferred shares will rank equally with the ordinary shares as regards dividends. The directors also have discretion to specify the number of votes per share to which a holder of preferred shares will be entitled on a poll taken at a shareholder meeting. The Board of Directors may authorize the issue of preferred shares with voting and/or dividend rights that could adversely affect the rights of the holders of ordinary shares. The issue of preferred shares may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of Insignia. Insignia has no current plan to issue any preferred shares.
Registration Rights
      Under registration rights agreements between Insignia and the investors who participated in our private placements, Insignia is obligated to register for resale all the ADSs and the shares issuable on exercise of warrants issued to investors in the private placements under the Securities Act and to use reasonable best efforts to keep the registration effective for certain periods of time. All expenses incurred in connection with such registrations (other than underwriters’ and brokers’ discounts and commissions) will be borne by Insignia.
Warrants
      As of June 30, 2005, there were warrants outstanding to subscribe for an aggregate of 8,869,266 ordinary shares in ADS form, which were issued to certain investors by us in private placement transactions. In addition, we issued on July 5, 2005, warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,101,000 ADSs at an exercise price per share equal to the greater of $0.50 or the U.S. Dollar equivalent of 20.5 U.K. pence. These warrants are immediately exercisable. These warrants contain provisions for the adjustment of the exercise price and the aggregate number of shares issuable upon the exercise of the warrant under certain circumstances, including

59


Table of Contents

stock dividends, share splits, reorganizations, reclassifications, consolidations and certain dilutive issuances of securities at prices below the then existing warrant exercise price. Specifically, if we issue our securities in a transaction, such as a private placement financing, for a price that is lower than the ten day average price of our ADSs before the transaction or if the warrants issued in those private placement transactions are exercised at a price less than the ten day average price of our ADSs at the time of exercise, the number of shares which the investors may subscribe with their warrants will increase.
      Further, some of the holders of these warrants have rights to be issued additional ADSs by Insignia if the registration statements covering their shares and the shares underlying their warrants are not declared effective within certain deadlines or suspended for more than 60 days in any 12 month period by Insignia.
      If we issue additional ADSs or if the adjustment provisions of these warrants are triggered, the ownership interest of existing security holders will be diluted.
Transfer Agent and Registrar
      The Transfer Agent for the ADSs is The Bank of New York. The Transfer Agent’s address and telephone number of its principal executive office is located at 48 Wall Street, New York, New York 10286, (212) 815-4305. The Registrar is Capita IRG plc. The Registrar’s address of its principal executive office is Bourne House, 34 Beckenham Road, Beckenham, Kent BR 3 4TU, United Kingdom.
DESCRIPTION OF AMERICAN DEPOSITORY RECEIPTS
      The following is a summary of certain provisions of the Deposit Agreement (the “Deposit Agreement”) between Insignia and The Bank of New York, as depositary (the “Depositary,” such term to include any successor Depositary), and all owners and beneficial owners from time to time of ADRs, pursuant to which the ADRs are to be issued. The Deposit Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of New York.
      This summary does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the Deposit Agreement, including the form of ADRs. Copies of the Deposit Agreement and the Memorandum and Articles of Association of Insignia are available for inspection at the Corporate Trust Office of the Depositary, currently located at 101 Barclay Street, New York, New York 10286, and at the London office of the Depositary (the “Custodian”), currently located at 46 Berkeley Street, London W1X 6AA, England. The Depositary’s principal executive office is located at 48 Wall Street, New York, New York 10286.
American Depository Receipts
      ADRs evidencing ADSs are issuable by the Depositary pursuant to the Deposit Agreement. Each ADS will represent one ordinary share or evidence of the right to receive one ordinary share (together with any additional ordinary shares at any time deposited or deemed deposited under the Deposit Agreement and any and all other securities, cash and property received by the Depositary or the Custodian in respect thereof and at such time held under the Deposit Agreement). Only persons in whose names ADRs are registered on the books of the Depositary will be treated by the Depositary and Insignia as owners.
Deposit, Transfer and Withdrawal
      The Depositary has agreed, subject to the terms and conditions of the Deposit Agreement, that upon delivery to the Custodian of ordinary shares (or evidence of rights to receive ordinary shares) and pursuant to appropriate instruments of transfer in a form satisfactory to the Custodian, the Depositary will, upon payment of the fees, charges and taxes (including, without limitation, amounts in respect of any applicable stamp taxes) provided in the Deposit Agreement, execute and deliver at its corporate trust office to, or upon the written order of, the person or persons named in the notice of the Custodian delivered to the Depositary or requested by the person depositing such ordinary shares with the Depositary, an ADR or ADRs, registered in the name or names of such person or persons, and evidencing any authorized number of ADSs requested by such person or persons.

Table of Contents

      The Depositary has no obligation to accept ordinary shares for deposit from any person or entity identified by Insignia as holding Restricted Securities (as defined below) except upon compliance with the provisions of the Deposit Agreement. The term “Restricted Securities” means ordinary shares, or ADRs representing such ordinary shares, which are “restricted securities” as such term is defined in Rule 144(a)(3) of the Securities Act, or which would require registration under the Securities Act in connection with the offer and sale thereof in the United States, or which are subject to other restrictions on sale or deposit under the laws of the United States or England, or under a shareholder agreement or Insignia’s Memorandum or Articles of Association.
      Upon surrender at the corporate trust office of the Depositary of an ADR for the purpose of withdrawal of the ordinary shares represented by the ADSs evidenced by such ADR, and upon payment of the fee of the Depositary for the surrender of ADRs and payment of all governmental charges and taxes (including, without limitation, amounts in respect of any applicable stamp taxes) provided in the Deposit Agreement, and subject to the terms and conditions of the Deposit Agreement, the owner of such ADR will be entitled to delivery, to him or upon his order, of the amount of ordinary shares at the time represented by the ADS or ADSs evidenced by such ADR. The forwarding of share certificates, other securities, property, cash and other documents of title for such delivery will be at the risk and expense of the owner.
      Subject to the terms and conditions of the Deposit Agreement and any limitations established by the Depositary, the Depositary may deliver ADRs prior to the receipt of ordinary shares (a “Pre-Release”) and deliver ordinary shares upon the receipt and cancellation of ADRs which have been delivered prior the receipt of ordinary shares, whether or not such cancellation is prior to the termination of such Pre-Release or the Depositary knows that such ADR has been Pre-Released. The Depositary may receive ADRs in lieu of ordinary shares in satisfaction of a Pre-Release. Each Pre-Release must be (i) preceded or accompanied by a written representation from the person to whom the ADRs or ordinary shares are to be delivered that such person, or its customer, owns the ordinary shares or ADRs to be remitted, as the case may be, (ii) at all times fully collateralized with cash or such other collateral as the Depositary deems appropriate, (iii) terminable by the Depositary on not more than five business days’ notice and (iv) subject to such further indemnities and credit regulations as the Depositary deems appropriate.
Dividends, Other Distributions and Rights
      Subject to any restrictions imposed by English law, regulations or applicable permits, the Depositary is required to convert or cause to be converted into U.S. dollars, to the extent that in its judgment it can do so on a reasonable basis and can transfer the resulting dollars to the United States, all cash dividends and other cash distributions denominated in a currency other than dollars, including pounds sterling, that it receives in respect of the deposited ordinary shares, and to distribute the resulting dollar amount (net of reasonable and customary expenses incurred by the Depositary in converting such foreign currency) to the owners entitled thereto, in proportion to the number of ADSs representing such deposited securities evidenced by ADRs held by them, respectively. Such distribution may be made upon an averaged or other practicable basis without regard to any distinctions among owners on account of exchange restrictions or the date of delivery of any ADR or ADRs or otherwise. The amount distributed to the owners of ADRs will be reduced by any amount on account of taxes to be withheld by Insignia or the Depositary. See “— Liability of Owner for Taxes.” If such conversion or distribution can be effected only with the approval or license of any government or agency thereof, the Depositary will file such applications for approval or license, if any, as it deems desirable.
      If the Depositary determines that in its judgment any foreign currency received by the Depositary or the Custodian cannot be converted an a reasonable basis into dollars transferable to the United States, any approval or license of any government or agency thereof that is required for such conversion is denied or in the opinion of the Depositary is not obtainable or if any such approval or license is not obtained within a reasonable period as determined by the Depositary, the Depositary may distribute the foreign currency received by the Depositary or the Custodian to, or in its discretion may hold such foreign currency uninvested and without liability for interest thereon for the respective accounts of, the owners entitled to receive the same. If any such conversion of foreign currency, in whole or in part, cannot be effected for distribution to some of the owners entitled thereto, the Depositary may in its discretion make such conversion and distribution in dollars to the extent permissible to the owners entitled thereto, and may distribute the balance of the foreign

61


Table of Contents

currency received by the Depositary to, or hold such balance uninvested and without liability for interest thereon for, the respective accounts of the owners entitled thereto, and will if Insignia so requests.
      If Insignia declares a dividend in, or free distribution of, ordinary shares, the Depositary may distribute to the owners of outstanding ADRs entitled thereto, in proportion to the number of ADSs evidenced by the ADRs held by them, respectively, additional ADRs evidencing an aggregate number of ADSs that represents the amount of ordinary shares received as such dividend or free distribution, subject to the terms and conditions of the Deposit Agreement with respect to the deposit of ordinary shares and the issuance of ADSs evidenced by ADRs, including the withholding of any tax or other governmental charge and the payment of fees and expenses of the Depositary. The Depositary may withhold any such distribution of ADRs if it has not received satisfactory assurances from Insignia that such distribution does not require registration or is exempt from registration under the Securities Act. In lieu of delivering ADRs for fractional ADSs in the event of any such dividend or free distribution, the Depositary will sell the amount of ordinary shares represented by the aggregate of such fractions and distribute the net proceeds in accordance with the Deposit Agreement. If additional ADRs are not so distributed, each ADS will thenceforth also represent the additional ordinary shares distributed upon the deposited securities represented thereby.
      If Insignia offers or causes to be offered to the holders of any deposited securities any rights to subscribe for additional ordinary shares or any rights of any other nature, the Depositary will have discretion as to the procedure to be followed in making such rights available to any owners of ADRs or in disposing of such rights for the benefit of any owners and making the net proceeds available to such owners or, if by the terms of such rights offering or for any other reason, the Depositary may not either make such rights available to any owners or dispose of such rights and make the net proceeds available to such owners, then the Depositary shall allow the rights to lapse. If at the time of the offering of any rights the Depositary determines in its discretion that it is lawful and feasible to make such rights available to all or certain owners but not to other owners, the Depositary may distribute to any owner to whom it determines the distribution to be lawful and feasible, in proportion to the number of ADSs held by such owner, warrants or other instruments therefor in such form as it deems appropriate. If the Depositary determines in its discretion that it is not lawful and feasible to make such rights available to all or certain owners, it may sell the rights, warrants or other instruments in proportion to the number of ADSs held by the owners to whom it has determined it may not lawfully or feasibly make such rights available, and allocate the net proceeds of such sales for the account of such owners otherwise entitled to such rights, warrants or other instruments, upon an averaged or other practical basis without regard to any distinctions among such owners because of exchange restrictions or the date of delivery of any ADR or ADRs, or otherwise.
      In circumstances in which rights would not otherwise be distributed, if an owner of ADRs requests the distribution of warrants or other instruments in order to exercise the rights allocable to the ADSs of such owner, the Depositary will make such rights available to such owner upon written notice from Insignia to the Depositary that (i) Insignia has elected in its sole discretion to permit such rights to be exercised and (ii) such owner has executed such documents as Insignia has determined in its sole discretion are reasonably required under applicable law. Upon instruction pursuant to such warrants or other instruments to the Depositary from such owner to exercise such rights, upon payment by such owner to the Depositary for the account of such owner of an amount equal to the purchase price of the ordinary shares to be received upon exercise of the rights and upon payment of the fees and expenses of the Depositary and any other charges as set forth in such warrants or other instruments, the Depositary will, on behalf of such owner, exercise the rights and purchase the ordinary shares, and Insignia shall cause the ordinary shares so purchased to be delivered to the Depositary on behalf of such owner. As agent for such owner, the Depositary will cause the ordinary shares so purchased to be deposited, and will execute and deliver ADRs to such owner, pursuant to the Deposit Agreement.
      The Depositary will not offer rights to owners having an address in the United States unless both the rights and the securities to which such rights relate are either exempt from registration under the Securities Act with respect to a distribution to all owners or are registered under the provisions of the Securities Act; provided, that nothing in the Deposit Agreement will create, or be construed to create, any obligation on the part of Insignia to file a registration statement with respect to such rights or underlying securities or to

62


Table of Contents

endeavor to have such a registration statement declared effective. If an owner of ADRs requests the distribution of warrants or other instruments, notwithstanding that there has been no such registration under the Securities Act, the Depositary will not effect such distribution unless it has received an opinion from recognized counsel in the United States for Insignia upon which the Depositary may rely that such distribution to such owner is exempt from such registration. The Depositary will not be responsible for any failure to determine that it may be lawful or feasible to make such rights available to owners in general or any owner in particular.
      Whenever the Depositary receives any distribution other than cash, ordinary shares or rights in respect of the deposited securities, the Depositary will cause the securities or property received by it to be distributed to the owners entitled thereto, after deduction or upon payment of any fees and expenses of the Depositary or any taxes or other governmental charges, in proportion to their holdings, respectively, in any manner that the Depositary may deem equitable and practicable for accomplishing such distribution; provided, however, that if in the opinion of the Depositary such distribution cannot be made proportionately among the owners entitled thereto, or if for any other reason (including, but not limited to, any requirement that Insignia or the Depositary withhold an amount on account of taxes or other governmental charges or that such securities must be registered under the Securities Act to be distributed to owners or beneficial owners) the Depositary deems such distribution not to be feasible, the Depositary may adopt such method as it may deem equitable and practicable for the purpose of effecting such distribution, including, but not limited to, the public or private sale of the securities or property thus received, or any part thereof, and the net proceeds of any such sale (net of the fees and expenses of the Depositary) will be distributed by the Depositary to the owners entitled thereto as in the case of a distribution received in cash.
      If the Depositary determines that any distribution of property (including ordinary shares and rights to subscribe therefor) is subject to any taxes or other governmental charges which the Depositary is obligated to withhold, the Depositary may, by public or private sale, dispose of all or a portion of such property in such amount and in such manner as the Depositary deems necessary and practicable to pay such taxes or charges and the Depositary will distribute the net proceeds of any such sale after deduction of such taxes or charges to the owners entitled thereto in proportion to the number of ADSs held by them, respectively.
      Upon any change in nominal or par value, split-up, consolidation or any other reclassification of deposited securities, or upon any recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation or sale of assets affecting Insignia or to which it is a party, any securities which shall be received by the Depositary or Custodian in exchange for, in conversion of, or in respect of deposited securities will be treated as new deposited securities under the Deposit Agreement, and the ADSs will thenceforth represent, in addition to the existing deposited securities, the right to receive the new deposited securities so received in exchange or conversion unless additional ADRs are delivered pursuant to the following sentence. In any such case, the Depositary may execute and deliver additional ADRs as in the case of a dividend in ordinary shares, or call for the surrender of outstanding ADRs to be exchanged for new ADRs specifically describing such new deposited securities.
Record Dates
      Whenever any cash dividend or other cash distribution becomes payable or any distribution other than cash is made, whenever rights are be issued with respect to the deposited securities, whenever for any reason the Depositary causes a change in the number of ordinary shares that are represented by each ADS, whenever the Depositary receives notice of any meeting of holders of ordinary shares or other deposited securities or whenever the Depositary finds it necessary or convenient, the Depositary will fix a record date as close as practicable to the record date fixed by Insignia with respect to the ordinary shares (i) for the determination of the owners who will be (a) entitled to receive such dividend, distribution or rights, or the net proceeds of the sale thereof or (b) entitled to give instructions for the exercise of voting rights at any such meeting or (ii) an or after which each ADS will represent the changed number of ordinary shares, all subject to the provisions of the Deposit Agreement.

Table of Contents

Voting at Deposited Securities
      Upon receipt of notice of any meeting or solicitation of consents or proxies of holders of ordinary shares or other deposited securities, if requested in writing by Insignia, the Depositary will, as soon as practicable thereafter, mail to all owners a notice, the form of which will be in the sole discretion of the Depositary, containing (i) the information included in such notice of meeting received by the Depositary from Insignia, (ii) a statement that the owners as of the close of business on a specified record date as close as practicable to the record date fixed by Insignia with respect to the ordinary shares will be entitled, subject to any applicable provision of English law and of the Memorandum and Articles of Association of Insignia, to instruct the Depositary as to the exercise of the voting rights, if any, pertaining to the amount of ordinary shares or other deposited securities represented by their respective ADSs and (iii) a statement as to the manner in which such instructions may be given. Upon the written request of an owner on such record date, received on or before the date established by the Depositary for such purpose, the Depositary will endeavor, insofar as practicable, to vote or cause to be voted the amount of ordinary shares or other deposited securities represented by the ADSs evidenced by such ADRs in accordance with the instructions act forth in such request. The Depositary will not vote or attempt to exercise the right to vote that attaches to the ordinary shares or other deposited securities, other than in accordance with such instructions.
      There can be no assurance that the owners generally or any owner in particular will receive such notice sufficiently in advance of the date established by the Depositary for the receipt of instructions to ensure that the Depositary will in fact receive such instructions on or before such date.
Disclosure of Interests
      Each owner and beneficial owner of an ADR agrees to provide such information as Insignia may request in a disclosure notice given pursuant to the Companies Act and the Memorandum and Articles of Association of Insignia. Failure of an owner or beneficial owner to provide in a timely fashion the information requested in any disclosure notice may result in the imposition of sanctions against the holder of the ordinary shares represented by ADSs in inspect of which the non-complying person is or was, or appears to be or have been, interested as provided in the Companies Act and the Memorandum and Articles of Association of Insignia, which currently include, without limitation, the withdrawal of the voting rights of such ordinary shares and the imposition of restrictions on the rights to receive dividends on and to transfer such ordinary shares. In addition, each owner or beneficial owner of an ADR who is or becomes directly or indirectly interested (within the meaning of the Companies Act) in 3% or more of the issued ordinary shares (or 10% or more for certain types of interest), or is aware that another person for whom it holds ADRs is so interested, must within two days after becoming so interested, or so aware, and thereafter in certain circumstances upon any changes in the percentage interest in the issued ordinary shares, notify Insignia as required by the Companies Act.
Reports and Other Communications
      The Depositary will make available for inspection by owners at its Corporate Trust Office any reports and communications, including any proxy soliciting material, received from Insignia, which are both (i) received by the Depositary as the holder of the deposited securities and (ii) made generally available to the holders of such deposited securities by Insignia. The Depositary will also send to the owners copies of such reports when furnished by Insignia pursuant to the Deposit Agreement. All such reports and communications, including any proxy soliciting material, furnished to the Depositary by Insignia will be furnished in English.
Amendment and Termination of the Deposit Agreement
      The form of ADRs and any provisions of the Deposit Agreement may at any time and from time to time be amended by agreement between Insignia and the Depositary in any respect which they may deem necessary or desirable without that consent of the owners and beneficial owners; provided, however, that any amendment that imposes or increases any fees or charges (other than taxes and other governmental charges, registration fees, cable, telex or facsimile transmission costs, delivery costs or other such expenses), or that otherwise prejudices any substantial existing right of owners, will not take effect as to outstanding ADRs until

64


Table of Contents

the expiration of 30 days after notice of any amendment has been given to the owners of outstanding ADRs. Every owner, at the time any amendment becomes effective, will be deemed, by continuing to hold such ADR, to consent and agree to such amendment and to be bound by the Deposit Agreement as amended thereby. In no event will any amendment impair the right of the owner to surrender such ADR and receive therefor the deposited securities represented thereby, except to comply with mandatory provisions of applicable law. In the event the Depositary resigns or is removed and a successor depositary is appointed in accordance with the provisions of the Deposit Agreement, owners of outstanding ADRs will be notified of such appointment by the successor Depositary.
      The Depositary will at any time at the direction of Insignia terminate the Deposit Agreement by mailing notice of such termination to the owners of the ADRs than outstanding at least 90 days prior to the date fixed in such notice for such termination. The Depositary may likewise terminate the Deposit Agreement by mailing notice of such termination to Insignia and the owners of all ADRs then outstanding if, any time after 90 days have expired after the Depositary has delivered to Insignia a written notice of its election to resign, a successor depositary has not been appointed and accepted its appointment in accordance with the terms of the Deposit Agreement. On and after the date of termination, the owner of an ADR will, upon (i) surrender of such ADR at the Corporate Trust Office, (ii) payment of the fee of the Depositary for the surrender of ADRs as provided in the Deposit Agreement and (iii) payment of any applicable taxes or governmental charges, be entitled to delivery to such owner or upon such owner’s order, of the amount of deposited securities represented by the ADSs evidenced by such ADRs. If any ADRs remain outstanding after the data of termination of the Deposit Agreement, the Depositary thereafter will discontinue the registration of transfers of ADRs, will suspend the distribution of dividends to the owners thereof and will not give any further notices or perform any further acts under the Deposit Agreement, except the collection of dividends and other distributions pertaining to the deposited securities, the sale of rights send other property and the delivery of underlying deposited securities, together with any dividends or other distributions received with respect thereto and the net proceeds of the sale of any rights or other property, in exchange for surrendered ADRs (after deducting, in each case, the fee of the Depositary for the surrender of ADRs, other expenses set forth in the Deposit Agreement and any applicable taxes or governmental charges). At any time after the expiration of one year from the date of termination, the Depositary may sell the deposited securities then held under the Deposit Agreement and hold uninvested the net proceeds of such sale, together with any other cash, unsegregated and without liability for interest, for the pro rata benefit of the owners that have not surrendered their ADRs, such owners thereupon becoming general creditors of the Depositary with respect to such net proceeds. After making such sale, the Depositary will be discharged from all obligations under the Deposit Agreement, except to account for net proceeds and other cash (after deducting, in each case, the fee of the Depositary for the surrender of ADRs, other expenses set forth in the Deposit Agreement and any applicable taxes or governmental charges).
Charges of Depositary
      Insignia will pay the fees, reasonable expenses and out-of-pocket charges of the Depositary and those of any registrar, in accordance with written agreements entered into between the Depositary and Insignia from time to time. The Depositary will charge any party depositing or withdrawing ordinary shares or any party surrendering ADRs or to whom ADRs are issued (including, without limitation, issuance pursuant to a stock dividend or stock split declared by Insignia or an exchange of stock regarding the ADRs or deposited securities, or a distribution of ADRs pursuant to the Deposit Agreement) where applicable: (i) taxes (including, without limitation, amounts in respect of any applicable stamp taxes) and other governmental charges; (ii) such registration fees as may from time to time be in effect for the registration of transfers of ordinary shares generally on the share register of Insignia or the appointed agent of Insignia for transfer and registration of ordinary shares and applicable to transfers of ordinary shares to the name of the Depositary or its nominee or the Custodian or its nominee on the making of deposits or withdrawals; (iii) such cable, telex and facsimile transmission expenses as are expressly provided in the Deposit Agreement to be at the expense of persons depositing ordinary shares or owners; (iv) such expenses as are incurred by the Depositary in the conversion of foreign currency pursuant to the Deposit Agreement; (v) a fee not in excess of $5.00 per 100 ADSs (or portion thereof) for the issuance and surrender, respectively, of ADRs pursuant to the Deposit Agreement; (vi) a fee not in excess of $0.02 per ADS (or portion thereof) for any cash distribution made

65


Table of Contents

pursuant to the Deposit Agreement; (vii) a fee for the distribution of securities pursuant to the Deposit Agreement, such fee being in an amount equal to the fee for the execution and delivery of ADSs referred to above that would have been charged as a result of the deposit of such securities (for purposes of this clause (vii) treating all such securities as if they were ordinary shares), but which securities are instead distributed by the Depositary to owners; and (viii) a fee not in excess of $1.50 per certificate for an ADR at ADRs for transfers made pursuant to the Deposit Agreement.
      The Depositary may own and deal in any class of securities of Insignia and its affiliates and in ADRs.
Liability of Owner for Taxes
      If any tax, duty or other governmental charge (including, without limitation, any stamp tax) becomes payable by the Custodian, the Depositary or any nominee of either as registered holder of any deposited securities underlying any ADR with respect to any ADR or any deposited securities represented by the ADSs evidenced by such ADR, such tax or other governmental charge will be payable by the owner or beneficial owner of such ADR to the Depositary. The Depositary may refuse to effect any transfer of such ADR or any withdrawal of deposited securities underlying such ADR until such payment is made, and may withhold any dividends or other distributions, or may sell for the account of the owner or beneficial owner thereof any part or all of the deposited securities underlying such ADR and may apply such dividends, other distributions or the proceeds of any such sale to pay any such tax or other governmental charge and the owner or beneficial owner of such ADR will remain liable for any deficiency.
General
      Neither the Depositary nor Insignia nor any of their respective directors, employees, agents or affiliates will be liable to any owner or beneficial owner of ADRs, if by reason of any provision of any present or future law or regulation of the United States, England or any other country, or of any other governmental or regulatory authority, stock exchange or automated quotation system, or by reason of any provision, present or future, of the Memorandum or Articles of Association of Insignia, or by reason of any provision of any securities issued or distributed by Insignia, or any offering or distribution thereof, or by reason of any act of God or war or other circumstances beyond its control, the Depositary or Insignia shall be prevented, delayed or forbidden from, or be subject to any civil or criminal penalty on account of, doing or performing any act or thing which by the terms of the Deposit Agreement or the deposited securities is provided will be done or performed; nor will the Depositary or Insignia or any of their respective directors, employees, agents or affiliates incur any liability to any owner or beneficial owner of any ADR by reason of any nonperformance or delay, caused as aforesaid, in the performance of any act or thing which by the terms of the Deposit Agreement is provided will or may be done or performed, or by reason of any exercise of, or failure to exercise, any discretion provided for under the Deposit Agreement. Where, by the terms of a distribution pursuant to the Deposit Agreement, or an offering or distribution pursuant to the Deposit Agreement, or for any other reason, such distribution or offering may not be made available to owners, and the Depositary may not dispose of such distribution or offering on behalf of such owners and make the net proceeds available to such owners, then the Depositary will not make such distribution or offering, and will allow the rights, if applicable, to lapse.
      Insignia and the Depositary assume no obligation nor will they be subject to any liability under the Deposit Agreement to owners or beneficial owners of ADRs, except that they agree to perform their respective obligations specifically set forth under the Deposit Agreement without negligence or bad faith.
      The ADRs are transferable on the books of the Depositary, provided that the Depositary may close the transfer books at any time or from time to time when deemed expedient by it in connection with the performance of its duties or at the written request of Insignia. As a condition precedent to the execution and delivery, registration of transfer, split-up, combination or surrender of any ADR or withdrawal of any deposited securities, the Depositary, the Custodian or the registrar may require payment from the person presenting the ADR or the depositor of the ordinary shares of a sum sufficient to reimburse is for any tax (including, without limitation, amounts in respect of any applicable stamp tax) at other governmental charge and any stock transfer or registration fee with respect thereto (including any such tax or charge and fee with

66


Table of Contents

respect to ordinary shares being deposited or withdrawn) and payment of any applicable fees as provided in the Deposit Agreement. The Depositary may refuse to deliver ADRs, to register the transfer of any ADR or to make any distribution on, or related to, ordinary shares until it has received such proof of citizenship or residence, exchange control approval or other information as it may deem necessary or proper. The delivery, transfer, registration of transfer of outstanding ADRs and surrender of ADRs generally may be suspended or refused during any period when the transfer books of the Depositary are closed or if any such action is deemed necessary or advisable by the Depositary or Insignia, at any time or from time to time. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Deposit Agreement, the surrender of outstanding ADRs and the withdrawal of deposited securities may not be suspended, subject only to (i) temporary delays caused by closing the transfer books of the Depositary or Insignia or the deposit of ordinary shares in connection with voting at a shareholders’ meeting or the payment of dividends, (ii) the payment of fees, taxes and similar charges and (iii) compliance with any U.S. or other laws or governmental regulations relating to the ADRs or to the withdrawal of the deposited securities.
      The Depositary will keep books, at its Corporate Trust Office, for the registration and transfer of ADRs, which at all reasonable times will be open for inspection by the owners, provided that such inspection will not be for the purpose of communicating with owners in the interest of a business or object other than the business of Insignia or a matter related to the Deposit Agreement or the ADRs.
      The Depositary may appoint one or more co-transfer agents for the purpose of effecting transfers, combinations and split-ups of ADRs at designated transfer offices on behalf of the Depositary. In carrying out its functions, a co-transfer agent may require evidence of authority and compliance with applicable laws and other requirements by owners or persons entitled to ADRs and will be entitled to protection and indemnity to the same extent as the Depositary.
Listing
      The ADSs have been approved for listing on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market under the trading symbol INSG.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
      The shares offered by this prospectus are being offered by the selling shareholders. The shares may be sold or distributed from time to time by the selling shareholders directly to one or more purchasers or through brokers, dealers, or underwriters who may act solely as agents at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market prices, at negotiated prices, or at fixed prices, which may be changed. The sale of the shares offered by this prospectus may be effected in one or more of the following methods:
  •  ordinary brokers’ transactions;
 
  •  transactions involving cross or block trades;
 
  •  through brokers, dealers, or underwriters who may act solely as agents;
 
  •  “at the market” into an existing market for the shares;
 
  •  in other ways not involving market makers or established trading markets, including direct sales to purchasers or sales effected through agents;
 
  •  in privately negotiated transactions;
 
  •  through put or call options transactions relating to the shares, or through short sales of shares; or
 
  •  any combination of the foregoing.
      In order to comply with the securities laws of certain states, if applicable, the shares may be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in certain states, the shares may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and complied with.

Table of Contents

      Brokers, dealers, underwriters, or agents participating in the distribution of the shares as agents may receive compensation in the form of commissions, discounts, or concessions from the selling shareholder and/ or purchasers of the shares for whom the broker-dealers may act as agent. The compensation paid to a particular broker-dealer may be less than or in excess of customary commissions.
      Fusion Capital is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act with respect to the up to $12.0 million of our ADSs that may from time to time be sold to it under the 2005 Fusion Capital securities subscription agreement, and the selling shareholders may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended with respect to the other shares included in this prospectus. Accordingly, any commission received by them and any profit on the resale of the shares of ADSs as principal might be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act.
      None of the selling shareholders nor we can presently estimate the amount of compensation that any agent will receive. We know of no existing arrangements between any selling shareholder, any other shareholder, broker, dealer, underwriter, or agent relating to the sale or distribution of the shares offered by this prospectus. At the time a particular offer of shares is made, a prospectus supplement, if required, will be distributed that will set forth the names of any agents, underwriters, or dealers and any compensation from the selling shareholder and any other required information.
      We will pay all of the expenses incident to the registration, offering, and sale of the shares to the public other than commissions or discounts of underwriters, broker-dealers, or agents. We have also agreed to indemnify the selling shareholders and related persons against specified liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
      Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers, and controlling persons, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC this indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore, unenforceable.
      Fusion Capital and its affiliates have agreed not to engage in any direct or indirect short selling or hedging of our shares during the term of the 2005 Fusion Capital securities subscription agreement.
      We have advised Fusion Capital that while it is engaged in a distribution of the shares included in this prospectus it is required to comply with Regulation M promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. With certain exceptions, Regulation M precludes the selling shareholder, any affiliated purchasers, and any broker-dealer or other person who participates in the distribution from bidding for or purchasing, or attempting to induce any person to bid for or purchase any security which is the subject of the distribution until the entire distribution is complete. Regulation M also prohibits any bids or purchases made in order to stabilize the price of a security in connection with the distribution of that security. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the shares offered hereby this prospectus.
      Before any selling shareholder proposes to sell any shares acquired in connection with the October 2004 private placement, the selling shareholder must notify us of their intent to do so prior to the sale. By providing us with such notice of sale, the selling shareholder agrees to comply with the registration provisions as described in the Registration Rights Agreement dated as of October 18, 2004. The notice of sale is also a representation made by the selling shareholder that any information provided by that selling shareholder is accurate as of the date of such notice. We may refuse to permit the selling shareholder to resell any shares for a period of time not to exceed 30 days, provided that we deliver a written certificate to the selling shareholder to the effect that the Registration Statement in its then current form contains an untrue statement of material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to the make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
      The selling shareholders will act independently of us in making decisions with respect to the timing, manner and size of each sale.
      In connection with distributions of the shares or otherwise, the selling shareholders (other than Fusion Capital) may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions. In connection with those transactions, broker-dealers or other financial institutions may engage in short sales of the ADSs in

68


Table of Contents

the course of hedging the positions they assume with the selling shareholders. After the date of this prospectus, the selling shareholders (other than Fusion Capital) also may sell the ADSs short and redeliver the shares to close out those short positions. The selling shareholders also may enter into option or other transactions or the creation of one or more derivative securities with broker-dealers or other financial institutions that require the delivery to the broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares the broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect those transactions). The selling shareholders also may pledge or hypothecate shares to a broker-dealer or other financial institution, and, upon a default, that broker-dealer or other financial institution may effect sales of the pledged shares pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect that transaction). In effecting sales, broker-dealers or agents engaged by the selling shareholders may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate.
      We have advised the selling shareholders that the anti-manipulation rules under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) may apply to sales of the shares offered under this prospectus in the market, and to their own activities and those of their affiliates.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
Organization and business
      Insignia Solutions plc (“Insignia,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Insignia Solutions plc and its subsidiaries) commenced operations in 1986, and currently develops, markets and supports software technologies that enable mobile operators and phone manufacturers to update the firmware of mobile devices using standard over-the-air data networks. Before 2003, our principal product line was the Jeodetm platform, based on our Embedded Virtual Machine (“EVM”tm) technology. The Jeode platform was our implementation of Sun Microsystems, Inc.’s (“Sun”) Java® technology tailored for smart devices. The product became available for sale in March 1999 and had been our principal product line since the third quarter of 1999. The Jeode product line was sold in April 2003.
      During 2001, we began development of a range of products (“Secure System Provisioning” or “SSP” products) for the mobile phone and wireless operator industry. These SSP products build on our position as a Virtual Machine (“VM”) supplier for manufacturers of mobile devices and allow wireless operators and phone manufacturers to reduce customer care and software recall costs as well as increase subscriber revenue by deploying new mobile services based on dynamically provisional capabilities. With the sale of our Jeode product line in April 2003, our sole product line consisted of our SSP product. We shipped our first SSP product in December 2003. In October 2004, we launched our Open Management Client (“OMC”) product. In March 2005, we acquired Mi4e Device Management AB (“Mi4e”), a private company headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden. Mi4e was founded in 2003 and had $646,000 of sales in 2004. Mi4e’s main product, a Device Management Server (“DMS”), is a mobile device management infrastructure solution for mobile operators that support the Open Mobile Alliance (“OMA”) client provisioning specification.
Liquidity — going concern
      The consolidated financial statements contemplate the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. We have had recurring net losses of $3.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and $7.1 million, $4.3 million, and $8.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002, respectively, and net cash used in operations of $2.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and $7.6 million, $4.2 million, and $8.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002, respectively. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not contain any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
      We have sustained significant losses for the last several years and there can be no assurance that we will attain profitability. During the two years ended June 30, 2005, we incurred an aggregate loss from operations and negative operating cash flows of $14.5 million and $12.0 million, respectively. At June 30, 2005, we had an accumulated deficit of $78.1 million. We have undertaken measures to reduce operating expenses and redesign our commercial efforts to adapt to new developments.
      On February 10, 2005, Insignia entered into a new securities subscription agreement with Fusion Capital to sell up to $12 million in ADSs, representing ordinary shares, to Fusion Capital over a period of 30 months (subject to daily maximum purchase amounts) (the “2005 Fusion Capital securities subscription agreement”). The shares will be priced based on a market-based formula at the time of purchase. The closing of the 2005 Fusion Capital securities subscription agreement is subject to certain closing conditions and the declaration of effectiveness by the Securities and Exchange Commission of a registration statement covering the ADSs to be purchased by Fusion Capital under the 2005 Fusion Capital securities subscription agreement. The timing and certainty of the closing of the 2005 Fusion Capital securities subscription agreement are not within Insignia’s control. Any delay in the closing of the 2005 Fusion Capital securities subscription agreement could jeopardize our business.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
      Our cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash totaled $0.9 million at June 30, 2005, $1.0 million at December 31, 2004, and $2.2 million at December 31, 2003. Based upon our current forecasts and estimates, including the timely closing of the 2005 Fusion Capital securities subscription agreement and the achievement of our target revenues, cost-cutting and accounts receivable collection goals, our current forecasted cash and cash equivalents should be sufficient to meet our operating and capital requirements through June 30, 2006. If cash currently available from all sources is insufficient to satisfy our liquidity requirements, we may seek additional sources of financing including selling additional equity or debt securities. If additional funds are raised through the issuance of equity or debt securities, these securities could have rights, preferences and privileges senior to holders of our shares, and the terms of such securities could impose restrictions on our operations. The sale of additional equity or debt securities could result in additional dilution to our shareholders. We may not be able to obtain additional financing on acceptable terms, if at all. If we are unable to obtain additional financing as and when needed and on acceptable terms our business may be jeopardized.
Unaudited Interim Results
      The statements of operations and of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2004 are unaudited. The unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company’s results of operations and of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2004. The financial data and other information disclosed in these notes to financial statements related to the six months ended June 30, 2004 are unaudited.
Use of estimates
      The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Principles of consolidation
      The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Insignia and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. Investments in business entities in which we do not have control, but have the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies (generally 20-50% ownership), are accounted for by the equity method.
Financial instruments
      We consider all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Restricted cash aggregated $50,000, $50,000 and $20,000 at June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. In 2003, restricted cash of $20,000 represented a letter of credit for a building deposit and in 2004 and 2005 restricted cash of $50,000 represented deposits for the building and a credit card account.
      Amounts reported for cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities are considered to approximate fair value primarily due to their short maturities.
Revenue recognition
      We recognize revenue in accordance with Statement of Position 97-2 (“SOP 97-2”), “Software Revenue Recognition”, as amended. SOP 97-2 requires that four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be

F-7

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred or services rendered; (3) the fee is fixed or determinable; and (4) collectibility is probable. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on management’s judgments regarding the fixed nature of the fee charged for services rendered and products delivered and the collectibility of those fees. Should changes in conditions cause management to determine these criteria are not met for certain future transactions, revenue recognized for any reporting period could be adversely affected.
      At the time of the transaction, we assess whether the fee associated with our revenue transaction is fixed or determinable and whether or not collection is probable. We assess whether the fee is fixed or determinable based on the payment terms associated with the transaction. If a significant portion of a fee is due after the normal payment terms, which are 30 to 90 days from invoice date, we account for the fee as not being fixed or determinable. In these cases, we recognize revenue on the earlier of due date or cash collected.
      We assess collectibility based on a number of factors, including past transaction history with the customer and the credit-worthiness of the customer. We do not request collateral from our customers. If we determine that collection of a fee is not reasonably assured, we will defer the fee and recognize revenue at the time collection becomes probable, which is generally upon receipt of cash.
      For all sales, we use either a signed license agreement or a binding purchase order (primarily for maintenance renewals) as evidence of an arrangement.
      For arrangements with multiple obligations (for example, undelivered maintenance and support), we will allocate revenue to each component of the arrangement using the residual value method based on the fair value of the undelivered elements, which is specific to us. This means that we will defer revenue equivalent to the fair value of the undelivered elements. Fair value for the ongoing maintenance and support obligation is based upon separate sales of renewals to other customers or upon renewal rates quoted in the contracts. Fair value of services, such as training or consulting, is based upon separate sales by us of these services to other customers.
      Our arrangements do not generally include acceptance clauses. However, if an arrangement includes an acceptance provision, recognition occurs upon the earlier of receipt of written customer acceptance or expiration of the acceptance period.
      We recognize revenue for maintenance and hosting services ratably over the contract term. Our training and consulting services are billed based on hourly rates, and we will generally recognize revenue as these services are performed. However, at the time of entering into a transaction, we will assess whether or not any services included within the arrangement require us to perform significant work either to alter the underlying software or to build additional complex interfaces so that the software performs as the customer requests. If these services are included as part of an arrangement, we recognize the entire fee using the percentage of completion method. We estimate the percentage of completion based on our estimate of the total costs estimated to complete the project as a percentage of the costs incurred to date and the estimated costs to complete.
Accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts
      We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and will adjust credit limits based upon payment history and the customer’s current credit worthiness, as determined by our review of their current credit information. We continuously monitor collections and payments from our customers and maintain an allowance for estimated credit losses based upon historical experience and any specific customer collection issues that we have identified. While such credit losses have historically been within expectations and the allowance established, we cannot guarantee that we will continue to experience the same credit loss rates as in the past. Since our accounts receivable are concentrated in a relatively few number of customers, a significant

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
change in the liquidity or financial position of any one of these customers could have a material adverse impact on the collectibility of accounts receivables and future operating results.
      The preparation of financial statements requires us to make estimates of the uncollectibility of our accounts receivables. We specifically analyze accounts receivable and analyze historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit-worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment terms when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts.
Intangible Assets and Goodwill
      Consideration paid in connection with acquisitions is required to be allocated to the acquired assets, including identifiable intangible assets, and liabilities acquired. Acquired assets and liabilities are recorded based on an estimate of fair value, which requires significant judgment with respect to future cash flows and discount rates. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired in a business combination. Intangible assets are comprised of customer relationships and technology and are being amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of ten and five years, respectively. For intangible assets other than goodwill, we are required to estimate the useful life of the asset and recognize its cost as an expense over the useful life. We are required to test goodwill for impairment at least annually and more frequently if events or changes in circumstances suggest that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. We have determined that our consolidated results comprise one reporting unit for the purpose of impairment testing.
      As of June 30, 2005, we performed our test for impairment of intangible assets and goodwill as required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 142 “Goodwill and other Intangible Assets” and No. 144 “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”. We completed our evaluation and concluded that they were not impaired as of June 30, 2005 as the fair value of Insignia’s equity securities exceeded their carrying value. The amount of intangible assets and goodwill as of June 30, 2005 was $2.3 million and $0.4 million, respectively. Future events could cause us to conclude that impairment indicators exist and that intangible assets and goodwill associated with our acquired business are impaired.
Property and equipment
      Property and equipment is recorded at cost, or if leased, at the lesser of the fair value or present value of the minimum lease payments, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives which range from three to four years or the lease term. When property and equipment is retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are relieved from the accounts and the net gain or loss is included in the determination of income (loss). Improvements that extend the life of a specific asset are capitalized while normal repairs and maintenance costs are charged to operations as incurred.
Impairment of long-lived assets
      We evaluate our long-lived assets for indicators of possible impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Should an impairment exist, the impairment loss would be measured based on the excess carrying value of the asset over the asset’s fair value or discounted estimates of future cash flows. We have not identified any such impairment losses to date.
Foreign currency translation
      Our functional currency for our non-U.S. operations is the U.S. dollar. Certain monetary assets and liabilities of the non-U.S. operating subsidiaries are denominated in local currencies (i.e. not the U.S. dollar). Upon a change in the exchange rate between the non-U.S. currency and the U.S. dollar, we must remeasure

F-9

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
the local non-U.S. denominated assets and liabilities to avoid carrying unrealized gains or losses on our balance sheet. Non-U.S. dollar denominated monetary assets and liabilities are remeasured using the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date, while nonmonetary items are remeasured at historical rates. Revenues and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates in effect during each period, except for those expenses related to balance sheet amounts, which are translated at historical exchange rates. Remeasurement adjustments and transaction gains or losses are recognized in the statement of operations during the period of occurrence. In the six months ended June 30, 2005 and in the year ended December 31, 2004, the aggregate foreign exchange loss recorded on the statements of operations was $15,000 and $21,000, respectively. In 2003 and 2002, the aggregate foreign exchange gains recorded on the statements of operations were $35,000 and $113,000, respectively. During our early years of existence, we used the pound sterling as the functional currency for our non-U.S. operations. Accordingly, translation gains and losses recognized during such periods have been included in the accumulated comprehensive loss account.
      We conduct our business in U.S. dollars, Euros (since 2005), Pounds sterling and Swedish Krona (since 2005). All amounts included in the financial statements and in the notes herein are in U.S. dollars unless designated “£” in which case they are in British pound sterling. The exchange rates used between the U.S. dollar and the British pound sterling were $1.82, $1.89, $1.78 and $1.56 (expressed in U.S. dollars per British pound sterling) at June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. At June 30, 2005, the exchange rates used between the U.S. dollar and Euro and Swedish Krona were $1.21 and $0.13 per Euro and Swedish Krona, respectively.
Foreign currency financial instruments
      We have, in prior years, entered into foreign currency option contracts to hedge against exchange risks associated with the British pound sterling denominated operating expenses of our U.K. operations. The gains and losses on these contracts are generally included in the statement of operations when the related operating expenses are recognized. At June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, there were no outstanding currency options. From time to time, we also entered into short-term forward exchange contracts, although we did not enter into any such contracts in 2005, 2004, 2003 or 2002. To date, we do not use hedge accounting for the forward exchange contracts. No forward exchange contracts were outstanding at June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002.
Software development costs
      We capitalize internal software development costs incurred after technological feasibility has been demonstrated. We define establishment of technological feasibility as the completion of a working model. Such capitalized amounts are amortized commencing with the introduction of that product at the greater of the straight-line basis utilizing its estimated economic life, generally six months to one year, or the ratio of actual revenues achieved to the total anticipated revenues over the life of the product. At June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, no software development costs were capitalized.
Research and development
      We expense the cost of research and development as incurred. Research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel costs, overhead costs relating to occupancy, software support and maintenance and equipment depreciation.

Stock-based compensation
      Insignia accounts for stock-based employee compensation using the intrinsic value method under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB 25”), and related interpretations and complies with the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, Transition and Disclosure — an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 123”. The following table illustrates the effect on net loss and net loss per share if we had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”) to stock-based compensation, (in thousands, except per share amounts):

Income taxes
      We account for income taxes under an asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our financial statements or tax returns. In estimating future tax consequences, we generally consider all expected future events other than enactments of changes in the tax law or rates.

Concentrations of risk
      Financial instruments that potentially subject us to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and trade accounts receivable. We place our cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash in bank accounts and certificates of deposit with high credit quality financial institutions.
      We sell our products primarily to original equipment manufacturers and distributors. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers’ financial condition and generally require no collateral from our customers. We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon the expected collectibility of all accounts receivable. At June 30, 2005, our allowance for doubtful accounts was $195,000. At December 31, 2004 and 2003, our allowance for doubtful accounts was zero. At December 31, 2003, one customer accounted for 100% of our accounts receivables. For the year ended December 31, 2003, one customer accounted for 26% of total revenues. In 2004, four customers accounted for 81% of total revenues. At December 31, 2004, two customers accounted for 100% of our accounts receivables. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, five customers accounted for 83% of total revenues. At June 30, 2005, three customers accounted for 82% of our accounts receivable.
      The Jeode platform had been our principal product line since the third quarter of 1999. With the completion of the sale of our Jeode product line to Esmertec in February 2004 and the termination and waiver agreement dated June 30, 2004, Insignia’s sole product line then consisted of its SSP products for the mobile handset and wireless carrier industry. In October 2004, we launched our OMC product. The DMS product line was added in March 2005 through Insignia’s acquisition of Mi4e.
      The Jeode platform generated 94% of our total revenues for 2003. For 2004, SSP revenue accounted for 83% of our total revenues. For the six months ended June 30, 2005 our SSP, DMS and OMC product lines accounted for 39%, 31% and 30% of our revenues, respectively.
Comprehensive income (loss)
      SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income” (“SFAS 130”) requires that all items recognized under accounting standards as components of comprehensive income (loss), be reported in an annual statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other annual financial statements. SFAS 130 also requires that an entity classify items of other comprehensive income (loss) by their nature in an annual financial statement. Comprehensive income (loss), as defined, includes all changes in equity during a period from non-owner sources. The comprehensive loss is equal to the net loss for all periods presented.
Net income (loss) per share
      Net income (loss) per share is presented on a basic and diluted basis, and is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares and ordinary equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Ordinary equivalent shares consist of warrants and stock options (using the treasury stock method). Under the basic method of calculating net income (loss) per share, ordinary equivalent shares are excluded from the computation. Under the diluted method of calculating net income (loss) per share, ordinary equivalent shares are excluded from the computation only if their effect is anti-dilutive.
      At June 30, 2005, 4,300,958 stock options and 8,869,266 warrants were excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. At December 31, 2004, 4,461,074 stock options and 2,130,911 warrants were excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. At December 31, 2003 and 2002, the excluded stock options were 4,525,105 and 3,585,339, respectively. The excluded warrants at December 31, 2003 and 2002 were 739,657 and 4,191,334, respectively.

New accounting pronouncements
      In March 2004, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) reached a consensus on Issue No. 03-01, “The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments” (“EITF 03-01”). EITF 03-01 provides guidance on other-than-temporary impairment models for marketable debt and equity securities accounted for under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities,” and No. 124, “Accounting for Certain Investments Held by Not-for-Profit Organizations,” and non-marketable equity securities accounted for under the cost method. The EITF developed a basic three-step model to evaluate whether an investment is other-than-temporarily impaired. The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued EITF 03-01-1 in September 2004 which delayed the effective date of the recognition and measurement provisions of EITF 03-01; however, the disclosure requirements remain effective for annual periods ending after June 15, 2004. We do not expect the adoption of EITF 03-01 to have a material impact on our results of operations or financial condition.
      In April 2004, the EITF issued Statement No. 03-06, “Participating Securities and the Two — Class Method Under FASB Statement No. 128, Earnings Per Share” (“EITF 03-06”). EITF 03-06 addresses a number of questions regarding the computation of earnings per share by companies that have issued securities other than common stock that contractually entitle the holder to participate in dividends and earnings of the company when, and if, it declares dividends on its common stock. The issue also provides further guidance in applying the two-class method of calculating earnings per share, clarifying what constitutes a participating security and how to apply the two-class method of computing earnings per share once it is determined that a security is participating, including how to allocate undistributed earnings to such a security. EITF 03-06 is effective for fiscal periods beginning after March 31, 2004. The adoption of EITF 03-06 did not have a material effect on Insignia’s results of operations or financial position.
      In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004) “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123R”), a revision to SFAS 123. SFAS 123R addresses all forms of share-based payment (“SBP”) awards, including shares issued under our 1995 Incentive Stock Option Plan (“Purchase Plan”), stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units and stock appreciation rights. SFAS 123R will require Insignia to record compensation expense, in our statements of operations, for SBP awards based on the fair value of the SBP awards. Under SFAS 123R, restricted stock and restricted stock units will generally be valued by reference to the market value of freely tradable shares of the Company’s ordinary shares. Stock options, stock appreciation rights and shares issued under the Purchase Plan will generally be valued at fair value determined through an option valuation model, such as a lattice model or the Black-Scholes model (the model that Insignia currently uses for its footnote disclosure). SFAS 123R is effective for annual periods beginning after June 15, 2005 and, accordingly, Insignia must adopt the new accounting provisions effective January 1, 2006. The Company will adopt the provisions of SFAS 123R using a modified prospective application. Under a modified prospective application, SFAS 123R will apply to new awards and to awards that are outstanding on the effective date and are subsequently modified or cancelled. Compensation expense for outstanding awards for which the requisite service had not been rendered as of the effective date will be recognized over the remaining service period using the compensation cost calculated for pro forma disclosure purposes under SFAS 123. Insignia is in the process of determining how the new method of valuing stock-based compensation as prescribed in SFAS 123R will be applied to valuing share-based awards granted after the effective date and the impact the recognition of compensation expense related to such awards will have on its consolidated financial statements.
      In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS 153, “Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets,” an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29 (“SFAS 153”). SFAS 153 addresses the measurement of exchanges of nonmonetary assets and redefines the scope of transactions that should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged. SFAS 153 is effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges beginning in our first quarter of fiscal

2006. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS 153 will have a material impact on our results of operations or financial condition.
      In June 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20, Accounting Changes, and Statement No. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements” (“SFAS 154”). SFAS 154 will require companies to account for and apply changes in accounting principles retrospectively to prior periods’ financial statements, instead of recording a cumulative effect adjustment within the period of the change, unless it is impracticable to determine the effects of the change to each period being presented. SFAS 154 is effective for accounting changes made in annual periods beginning after December 15, 2005 and, accordingly, we must adopt the new accounting provisions effective January 1, 2006. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS 154 to have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Note 2 — Mi4e Acquisition:
      On March 16, 2005, we acquired 100% of Mi4e, a private company headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden. The consideration paid in the transaction was 2,969,692 American depositary shares (“ADSs”) representing ordinary shares, and another 989,896 ADSs issuable on March 31, 2006, subject to potential offset for breach of representations, warranties and covenants. In addition, up to a maximum of 700,000 Euros is payable in cash in a potential earn-out based on a percentage of future revenue collected from sales of existing Mi4e products. As of June 30, 2005, $22,000 has been earned. Mi4e develops, markets and supports software technologies that enable mobile operators and phone manufacturers to update firmware of mobile devices using standards over-the-air data networks. Its main product DMS is a mobile device management infrastructure solution for mobile operators that support the OMA Client Provisioning Specification.
      The initial purchase price of approximately $3.0 million consisted of 3,959,588 ordinary shares (including the shares issuable in March 2006) with a value of approximately $2,749,000 and acquisition costs of approximately $267,000. The fair value of Insignia’s ordinary shares was determined using an average value of $0.6943 per share, which was the average closing price of Insignia’s ordinary shares three days before and after the measurement date of February 10, 2005. The shares issuable in March 2006 have been recorded as an ordinary share subscription on the consolidated balance sheet. Any earn-out amounts payable by Insignia to Mi4e’s shareholders will be recorded as additional purchase price and an increase to goodwill, and such amounts are not included in the initial purchase price. Insignia allocated the initial purchase price to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, based on their estimated fair values.
      The initial purchase price is allocated as follows (in thousands):

(c) Technology will be amortized over 5 years, the period of time Insignia estimates it will benefit from the technology acquired.
      In performing the purchase price allocation of acquired intangible assets, Insignia considered its intention for future use of the assets, analysis of historical financial performance and estimates of future performance of Mi4e’s products, among other factors. The amounts allocated to the intangible assets were determined through established valuation techniques established in the technology industry. Insignia determined the fair values of the above intangible technology assets using the “residual income” method, and for the customer relationships the “income approach” method was used.
      The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the identifiable tangible and intangible net assets acquired and liabilities assumed of $394,000 was assigned to goodwill. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, goodwill will not be amortized but will be tested for impairment at least annually. This amount is not deductible for tax purposes.

Note 4 — Stock Plans:
      We have four stock option plans, which provide for the issuance of stock options to employees and outside consultants of Insignia to purchase ordinary shares. At June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002, 1,756,312, 1,772,147, 1,311,022 and 2,271,351 ordinary shares were available for future grants of stock options, respectively. Stock options are generally granted at prices of not less than 100% of the fair market value of the ordinary shares on the date of grant. Options granted under our option plans generally vest over a four year period. Options are exercisable until the tenth anniversary of the date of grant unless they lapse before that date.

      In March 1995, Insignia’s shareholders adopted the 1995 Employee Share Purchase Plan (the “Purchase Plan”) with 275,000 ordinary shares reserved for issuance thereunder. On July 21, 1998, the number of shares reserved for issuance was increased to 525,000. On May 27, 1999, the number was increased to 900,000 and on June 30, 2004 the number was further increased to 1,200,000. The Purchase Plan enables employees to purchase ordinary shares at approximately 85% of the fair market value of the ordinary shares at the beginning or end of each six-month offering period. The Purchase Plan qualifies as an “employee stock purchase plan” under section 423 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code. During the six months ended June 30, 2005, and years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 we issued 45,369, 142,079, 5,110 and 108,750 shares under the Purchase Plan, respectively. At June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004 and 2003 approximately 289,430, 334,799 and 176,878 ordinary shares were reserved for future Purchase Plan issuances, respectively.
      In June 2003, we approved the issuance of options to purchase up to 250,000 ordinary shares to an outside consultant. The options are issued and exercisable upon achievement of certain milestones. The exercise price is $0.47 per share and the options expire 3 years from the date of issuance. As of December 31, 2003, 75,000 options were earned and exercisable. An additional 50,000 options were earned in January 2004 and the balance lapsed with the expiration of the contract in January 2004. In November 2003, we also entered into another agreement with an outside partner to purchase up to 500,000 warrants based upon the achievement of certain milestones. In January 2004, the partner achieved the first milestone and earned 200,000 warrants at a price of $1.03. None of the remaining milestones have been achieved to date. In accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force 96-18 “Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services” (“EITF 96-18”), we recorded a charge of approximately $121,000 and $353,000 in 2003 and 2004, respectively, to operations and an increase to additional paid-in capital, based on the number of options earned and vested. The remaining warrant will be revalued as it vests and future charges will be recorded based on the number of options that vest using the Black-Scholes pricing model.
Note 5 — Employee Benefit and Pension Plans:
      We have a 401(k) plan covering all of our U.S. employees and a defined contribution pension plan covering all our United Kingdom employees. Under both of these plans, employees may contribute a percentage of their compensation and we make certain matching contributions. Both the employees’ and Insignia’s contributions are fully vested and nonforfeitable at all times. The assets of both these plans are held separately from those of Insignia in independently managed and administered funds. Our contributions to these plans aggregated $29,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2005, $50,000 in 2004, $98,000 in 2003 and $227,000 in 2002.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
      As of June 30, 2005, we had available NOL carry forwards of approximately $18.9 million for California tax purposes, which expire in various years from 2005 to 2014. As a result of the suspension of the use of NOLs for 2002 and 2003, California extended the carryover terms for NOLs created in 2000 and 2001 from 10 years to 12 years and for NOL’s originating in 2002, the carryover period extended from 10 years to 11 years.
      Based on the available objective evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred income tax assets will not be fully realizable. Accordingly, the Company has provided a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets at June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004 and 2003.
      The tax reform act of 1986 limits the use of net operating loss and tax credit carry forwards in certain situations where changes occur in stock ownership of a company. In the event we have a change in ownership, utilization of the federal and state carry forwards could be restricted.
      Starting for tax years 2002 and retroactive to 2000, certain research and development expenditures incurred in the United Kingdom qualified for a tax credit. The tax credit does not offset tax liability but rather is a refund. The estimated refund for 2004 was $134,000. The estimated refund for 2003 reported in the 2003 Form 10-K was $391,000. The actual amount received was $188,000 and was received in January of 2005. The difference of $203,000 between the actual United Kingdom tax credit and the actual refund received for 2003 was due to the research and development expenses for SSP incurred in the United States, which were disallowed as the office in the United Kingdom was not leading the research and development process. Our estimates have since been updated for future years.

Guarantee Agreements
      Insignia, as permitted under Delaware law and in accordance with our Bylaws, indemnifies our officers and directors for certain events or occurrences, subject to certain limits, while the officer is or was serving at our request in such capacity. The term of the indemnification period is for the officer’s or director’s lifetime. The maximum amount of potential future indemnification is unlimited; however, we do have a Director and

Officer Insurance Policy that limits our exposure and enables us to recover a portion of any future amounts paid. As a result of the insurance policy coverage we believe the fair value of these indemnification agreements is minimal.
      In our sales agreements, we typically agree to indemnify our customers for any expenses or liability resulting from claimed infringements of patents, trademarks or copyrights of third parties. The terms of these indemnification agreements are generally perpetual any time after execution of the agreement. The maximum amount of potential future indemnification is unlimited. To date we have not paid any amounts to settle claims or defend lawsuits.
      Insignia, on a limited basis, has granted price protection for the Jeode product line. The terms of these agreements were generally perpetual. We have not recorded any liabilities for these potential future payments either because they are not probable or we have yet to incur the expense.
      Insignia warrants its software products against defects in material and workmanship under normal use and service for a period of ninety days. There is no warranty accrual recorded because potential future payments either are not probable or we have yet to incur any expense.
Change of Control Severance Arrangements
      We have entered into change of control severance arrangements with three of our executive officers, pursuant to which we will continue to pay salary for up to six months if any of these employees are terminated in connection with a change of control of the Company.
Rent Agreement
      During 1998, we sublet, until March 2002, facilities that we previously occupied in the United Kingdom, on substantially the same terms as those applicable to us. In January 2002, we entered into an agreement with the landlord to terminate the lease on April 13, 2002. The termination agreement required us to pay, on April 3, 2002, a surrender payment of approximately $470,000.
Contingencies
      From time to time, the Company may become involved in litigation relating to claims arising from the ordinary course of business. Management is not currently aware of any matters that could have a material adverse effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.
Note 8 — Segment Reporting:
      Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information” (“SFAS 131”) provides for segment reporting based upon the “management” approach. The management approach designates the internal organization that is used by management for making operating decisions and assessing performance as the source of Insignia’s reportable segments. SFAS 131 also requires disclosures about products and services, long-lived assets, geographic areas, and major customers.
      We are in a single industry segment providing software technologies that enable mobile operators and phone manufacturers to manage mobile devices using standard over-the-air data networks. 83% of our revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2005 were from five customers with 20%, 18%, 17%, 16% and 12% of revenue from each. In 2004, the SSP and Jeode product lines accounted for 83% and 17%, respectively, of the total revenue. The Jeode revenue related to royalties received from Esmertec. Esmertec accounted for 100% of the Jeode revenue. The SSP revenue generated in 2004 was from four customers each accounting for 28%, 21%, 18% and 14%, respectively. In 2003, the Jeode product line accounted for 94% of the total revenue

At December 31, 2004 and 2003, substantially all of our long-lived assets were located in the United States.
Note 9 — Equity Transactions and Warrants:
Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
      In 1999, a private placement transaction resulted in an allocation of $1.4 million to mandatorily redeemable warrants, of which $590,000 was allocated to the warrants issued, and $850,000 was allocated to additional warrants issuable under certain circumstances. During the quarter ended June 30, 2003, $850,000, which represented the relative fair value of the additional warrants issuable in connection with the 1999 private placement, was reclassified from manditorily redeemable warrants to additional paid-in capital. The reclassification was a result of the expiration of our obligation to issue these warrants.

      Amounts classified as warrants will remain outside of shareholders’ equity for the life of the warrant or until they are exercised, whichever occurs first. This classification reflects certain potential cash payments that may occur, should we complete a major transaction, such as a takeover, during the life of the warrants.
      In August 2003, warrants issued in the 1999 private placement were modified to reduce their exercise price to $0.40 per share. The modification was accounted for in accordance with SFAS 123 and resulted in a charge of approximately $88,000 to earnings and an increase in the value of the mandatorily redeemable warrants. In September 2003 and November 2003, warrants to purchase 334,177 and 112,500 ordinary shares were exercised for net proceeds of approximately $128,000 and $92,000, respectively. In connection with the exercise of the warrants, $640,000 was reclassified from mandatorily redeemable warrants to additional paid-in capital. In December 2004, the remaining warrants outstanding expired and $38,000 was reclassified from mandatorily redeemable warrants to additional paid-in capital. Fusion Capital exercised warrants to purchase 2,000,000 ordinary shares in September 2003 resulting in net proceeds of approximately $668,000.
      On November 24, 2000, we issued a total of 3,600,000 ordinary shares at a price of $5.00 per unit. Each share comprises one ADS and one half of one warrant to purchase one ADS. The registration statement became effective on December 24, 2000. The warrants expired on November 24, 2004. As compensation for services in connection with this private placement, we (i) issued five year warrants to purchase 225,000 of our ADSs at an exercise price of $5.00 per share, and (ii) paid a cash compensation equal to 6% of the gross proceeds received by us in the private placement to the placement agent. These warrants remain outstanding and expire November 24, 2005.
      On February 12, 2001, we entered into agreements whereby we issued 940,000 ordinary shares in ADS form at a price of $5.00 per share to a total of 4 investors, including Wind River Systems, Inc., and a member of our board of directors. We also issued warrants to purchase 470,000 ADSs to the investors, at an exercise price per share of the lower of the average quoted closing sale price of our ADSs for the ten trading days ending on the day preceding the date of the warrant holder’s intent to exercise less a 10% discount, and $6.00 per share. We received $4.7 million less offering expenses totaling $0.5 million. All of these warrants were exercised in January 2004, resulting in proceeds of approximately $400,000 with $10,000 of issuance costs. We also issued warrants to purchase 25,000 ADSs to the placement agent exercisable at a price of $5.00 per share. These warrants are exercisable and expire on February 12, 2006. The securities were issued in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided under Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.
      In September 2003, 1,613,465 ordinary shares in ADS form were purchased under the 2002 Fusion Capital securities subscription agreement resulting in proceeds of $827,000 less offering expenses of $89,000. In November 2003, Fusion Capital purchased 1,766,667 ordinary shares in ADS form. We received $1.3 million less offering expenses totaling $114,000. In accordance with the subscription agreement, Fusion Capital may not beneficially own more than 9.9% of the total ordinary shares. As a result, Fusion Capital requested that we only issue 1,000,000 shares and issue the balance at a later date. This resulted in $575,000 recorded as an ordinary share subscription in the equity section of the balance sheet as of December 31, 2003. In January 2004, new ordinary shares of 766,667 were issued to Fusion Capital, for $575,000 net of issuance expenses of $10,000, pursuant to a binding commitment to deliver such shares entered into in November 2003.
      In November 2003, we issued a warrant to purchase up to 500,000 ADSs to a strategic partner. The warrant becomes exercisable upon achievement of certain milestones and terminates on the third anniversary of the final milestone. The exercise price is $1.03 per share with respect to the first milestone, and the average of $1.03 per share and the then-current market price with respect to the other milestones. At June 30, 2005, 200,000 of the warrants were vested, exercisable, and resulted in a charge of $129,000 to expense and additional paid-in capital in the first quarter of 2004. The warrant will be valued as it vests and future charges will be recorded based on the amount of the warrant that vests using the Black-Scholes pricing model.

      On January 5, 2004, we issued 2,262,500 ordinary shares in ADS form at a price of $0.80 to a total of 10 investors. We also issued warrants to purchase 565,625 ADSs to the investors at an exercise price of $1.04. The warrants are exercisable immediately and expire January 5, 2009. We received $1.8 million less offering expenses totaling approximately $0.2 million in this transaction. We also issued warrants to purchase 108,562 ADSs to the two principals of the placement agent, half of which are exercisable at a price of $1.09 per share and the other half at $0.92 per share. These warrants are exercisable immediately and expire January 5, 2009.
      On October 18, 2004, Insignia closed two equity financing transactions in which we raised over $2.3 million, net of transaction costs. We closed a private placement financing with certain institutional and other accredited investors pursuant to which we issued and sold 3,208,499 newly issued ADSs and warrants to purchase 802,127 ADSs, for a total purchase price of approximately $1.5 million, or $1.3 million net of transaction costs. The shares were priced at $0.48 per share, and the warrants have an exercise price of $1.06 per share. The warrants may be exercised any time after the date that is six months after the closing of the private placement until the earlier of April 18, 2010 or a change of control of Insignia. Nash Fitzwilliams Ltd. served as the private placement agent in the private placement. We issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 204,597 ADSs to the two principals of Nash Fitzwilliams Ltd. as placement agent. The warrants issued to the Nash Fitzwilliams’ Ltd.’s principals have the same exercise price and terms as the warrants issued to the investors in the private placement. Two investors in this private placement were related parties of Insignia. Mark McMillan, our Chief Executive Officer, invested $25,000 to purchase 52,083 ADSs and warrants to purchase 13,021 ADSs. In addition Vincent Pino, one of our directors, and his immediate family invested $200,000 to purchase 416,667 ADSs and warrants to purchase 104,167 ADSs. As part of the transaction, we agreed to file a resale registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the purpose of registering the resale of the shares, and the shares underlying the warrants, issued in the private placement. Additionally, under a previously executed securities subscription agreement, we sold to Fusion Capital 2,500,000 shares of newly issued ADSs at a purchase price of $0.40 per share, resulting in proceeds of approximately $1.0 million, net of transaction costs. As of October 18, 2004, we had sold an aggregate of $3.152 million of Insignia’s ADSs (out of a total potential issuance of $6 million under the securities subscription agreement) to Fusion Capital.
      During January 2005, we sold 299,007 shares for $200,000 under the 2002 Fusion Capital agreement. On February 9, 2005, Insignia sold to Fusion Capital 3,220,801 ADSs at a purchase price of $0.40 per share, resulting in proceeds of approximately $1.3 million. These shares were issued to Fusion Capital in a private placement. Insignia intends to file a registration statement in order to register the resale of these shares.
      On February 9, 2005, Insignia and Fusion Capital entered into a mutual termination agreement pursuant to which the 2002 Fusion Capital securities subscription agreement was terminated. As a result of this termination, the 2,000,000 shares issued on exercise of the warrants (described above) may be resold by Fusion Capital under the Company’s existing S-1 registration statement.
      On February 10, 2005, Insignia entered into the 2005 Fusion Capital securities subscription agreement with Fusion Capital to sell ADSs up to an aggregate purchase price of $12 million (subject to daily maximum purchase amounts) to Fusion Capital over a period of 30 months (the “2005 Fusion Capital securities subscription agreement”). The shares will be priced based on a market-based formula at the time of purchase. The commencement of funding under the 2005 Fusion Capital securities subscription agreement is subject to certain conditions, including the declaration of effectiveness by the Securities and Exchange Commission of a registration statement covering the ADSs to be purchased by Fusion Capital under the 2005 Fusion Capital securities subscription agreement. The timing of a registration statement covering the ADSs to be purchased by Fusion Capital being declared effective is not within Insignia’s control. Any delay in the commencement of funding under the 2005 Fusion Capital securities subscription agreement could jeopardize Insignia’s business. As a commitment fee for this facility Fusion Capital received warrants for 2,000,000 shares exercisable at the

greater of £0.205 or $0.40 per share and for 2,000,000 shares exercisable at £0.205 each. These warrants are exercisable immediately and expire on February 28, 2010.
      On March 16, 2005, we closed our acquisition of Mi4e, a private company headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden. The consideration paid in the transaction was 2,969,692 ADSs representing ordinary shares and another 989,896 ADSs will be issuable on March 31, 2006, subject to potential offset for breach of representations, warranties and covenants. In addition up to a maximum of 700,000 Euros is payable in a potential earn out based on a percentage of future revenue collected from sales of existing Mi4e products. At June 30, 2005, $22,000 of this earn out was earned.
      In June 2005, the Company issued convertible notes to three shareholders in exchange for a bridge financing of $275,000. These notes were converted into the Series A preferred stock described below on June 30, 2005. In consideration of this bridge financing we accrued loan fees in the form of ADSs representing 45,833 ordinary shares and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 45,833 ADSs at an exercise price of $0.58 per share were issued; these shares were valued at a market value of $25,200 and the warrants had a fair value, calculated using the Black-Scholes model, of approximately $17,000. These warrants are exercisable on December 21, 2005 and expire on June 30, 2010.
      On June 30, 2005 and July 5, 2005, we and our wholly-owned subsidiary Insignia Solutions Inc. (the “Subsidiary”) entered into Securities Subscription Agreements with Fusion Capital and other investors (each, an “Investor” and collectively, the “Investors”). Pursuant to these subscription agreements, Investors invested an aggregate of $1,000,000 on June 30, 2005 (including exchange of the $275,000 bridge notes), and we completed a second closing on July 5, 2005 for an additional $440,400. Pursuant to these subscription agreements, the Subsidiary issued its Series A preferred stock, no par value per share, to the Investors. The preferred stock is non-redeemable. The shares of preferred stock (plus all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon) held by each Investor are exchangeable for ADSs (i) at any time at the election of such Investor, (ii) automatically upon written notice by us to such Investor in the event that the sale price of the ADSs on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market is greater than $1.50 per share for a period of ten consecutive trading days, and certain other conditions are met, and (iii) automatically to the extent any shares of the preferred stock have not been exchanged prior to June 30, 2007. The preferred stock will accrue dividends for two years at a rate of 15% per year compounded annually, payable in the form of additional ADSs. Including accruable dividends, the shares of preferred stock issued on June 30, 2005, together with the additional shares issued on July 5, 2005, will be exchangeable for 3,306,251 and 1,456,075 ADSs, respectively, at an initial purchase price of $0.40 per ADS. Pursuant to the above subscription agreements, we also issued to the Investors on June 30, 2005 and July 5, 2005, warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,500,000 and 1,101,000 ADSs, respectively, at an exercise price per share equal to the greater of $0.50 or the U.S. Dollar equivalent of 20.5 U.K. pence. These warrants are immediately exercisable and expire on June 30, 2010. We also entered into registration rights agreements with the Investors pursuant to which we agreed to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission covering the resale of (i) the ADSs issued to the Investors upon exchange of the Preferred Stock under their subscription agreements and (ii) the ADSs issuable upon exercise of their warrants.
      The issuance of the Series A preferred stock resulted in a beneficial conversion feature, calculated in accordance with EITF No. 00-27, “Application of Issue No. 98-5, Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features of Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios to Certain Convertible Instruments” based upon the conversion price of the preferred stock into ADSs, and the fair value of the ADSs at the date of issue. Accordingly, the warrants issued on June 30, 2005 were valued at $585,000, using a Black-Scholes model, and the Company recognized $415,000, as a charge to additional paid-in-capital to account for the deemed dividend on the preferred stock as of the issuance date, which represented the amount of the proceeds allocated to the preferred stock. The amount of the deemed dividend related to the beneficial

conversion feature was recorded upon the issuance of the preferred stock, as the preferred stock can be converted to ADSs by the holder at any time.
Subscription Agreement
      On October 17, 2002, we entered into a securities subscription agreement (“Agreement”) with Fusion Capital, pursuant to which Fusion Capital has agreed to purchase, on each trading day following the effectiveness of a registration statement covering the American Depository Shares to be purchased by Fusion Capital, $10,000 of our American Depository Shares up to an aggregate of $6.0 million over a period of 30 months. The purchase price of the American Depository Shares will be equal to a price based upon the future market price of the shares without any fixed discount to the market price. In order to be in compliance with Nasdaq rules, we could not sell our ordinary shares to Fusion Capital at a price below $0.38, which represents the greater of the book value per share of our ordinary shares as of September 30, 2002 or the closing sale price per share of our ADSs on October 16, 2002. If we elect to sell our shares to Fusion Capital at a price per share below $0.38, we first would be required to obtain shareholder approval in order to be in compliance with applicable Nasdaq rules. Under the laws of England and Wales, we are not permitted to sell our ADSs at a purchase price that is less than the nominal value of our ordinary shares. Currently, the nominal value per ordinary share is the U.S. dollar equivalent of 20.5 pence. As of December 31, 2004, new ordinary shares of 6,480,192 were purchased under the Fusion Capital securities subscription agreement for a total of $3.6 million, net of issuance costs. Of this amount, $190,000 was recorded as an other receivable on the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2004 as payment was not received until January 2005.
      Under the terms of the Agreement, we issued to Fusion Capital one redeemable warrant for ADSs representing 1,000,000 ordinary shares, and one non-redeemable warrant for ADSs representing 1,000,000 ordinary shares. The exercise price per share of each warrant was the U.S. dollar equivalent of 20.5 pence. Each warrant expires on September 30, 2007. The fair value of the warrants was estimated at $544,000 on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following assumptions: no dividend yield; risk-free rate of 2.5%; volatility of 101%; and expected life of five years. The fair value of the warrants have been expensed in other expense entirely in the year-ended December 31, 2002. Unless an event of default (including termination of the agreement) occurs under the Agreement, the shares issuable upon exercise of these warrants must be held by Fusion Capital until 30 months from the date of the Agreement or the date the Agreement is terminated. Fusion Capital exercised their 2,000,000 warrants for $668,000, net of issuance costs.

Note 10 — Sale of Java Virtual Machine Assets:
      On February 7, 2003, we entered into a loan agreement with Esmertec whereby Esmertec loaned Insignia $1.0 million at an interest rate of prime plus two percent. The principal amount of $1.0 million was repaid on January 15, 2004 by offsetting that amount with a receivable from Esmertec relating to the product line purchase. All remaining accrued interest of $55,161 was repaid on March 15, 2004 by offsetting the accrued interest against prepaid royalties. Accordingly, there are no outstanding balances or future amounts due to Esmertec under the loan agreement as of December 31, 2004.
      On March 4, 2003, we entered into several other agreements with Esmertec including a definitive agreement to sell certain assets relating to our Jeode product in exchange for $3.5 million due in installments through April 2004. The transaction closed on April 23, 2003 and was amended on June 30, 2004. The assets sold primarily included the fixed assets, customer agreements and employees related to the Jeode product. Under the terms of the Agreements, Esmertec also became the exclusive master distributor of the Jeode technology in exchange for $3.4 million in minimum guaranteed royalties through October 2004.
      Under the original agreements, Insignia could have earned up to an additional $4.0 million over the subsequent three year period from the effective date of the agreement based on a percentage of Esmertec’s sales of the Jeode product during the period. Additionally, the parties entered into a cooperative agreement whereas Esmertec would promote Insignia’s SSP software product to Esmertec’s mobile platform customers.
      As part of the sale of our Jeode product, we transferred 42 employees to Esmertec, of which 31 were development engineers. In addition, as part of the sale, Esmertec entered into an agreement with our U.K. building landlord in order to assume the lease on one of the two buildings leased by Insignia.
      On February 13, 2004, Insignia and Esmertec executed the final purchase agreement upon signing the Limited Assignment of Rights of Technology License and Distribution Agreement. The final purchase agreement transferred the intellectual property of Jeode and the title for Insignia’s remaining prepaid royalties to Esmertec.
      On June 30, 2004, Insignia and Esmertec executed a Termination and Waiver Agreement. The Agreement offset Esmertec related liabilities and deferred revenue totaling $853,000 against $600,000 of remaining guaranteed royalty payments due from Esmertec in exchange for a final cash payment of $185,000. The resulting net gain of $302,000 was recorded as other income in the second quarter of 2004 and is net of expenses. The final payment was received from Esmertec on July 8, 2004.
      The Jeode platform had been our principal product line since the third quarter of 1999. With the completion of the sale of our Jeode product line to Esmertec in February 2004, Insignia’s sole product line consisted of its SSP products for the mobile handset and wireless carrier industry. We began shipment of our SSP product to customers in the fourth quarter of 2003. In October 2004, we launched our OMC product. In

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
March 2005, we acquired Mi4e, a private company headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden. Mi4e was founded in 2003 and had $646,000 of sales in 2004. Mi4e’s main product, DMS, is a mobile device management infrastructure solution for mobile operators that support the OMA client provisioning specification.
Note 11 — Notes Payable and Line of Credit:
      With the March 16, 2005 acquisition of Mi4e, Insignia assumed two notes payable. The largest note is to ALMI Företags Partner (“ALMI”) and is referred to as a “regional development loan”. The total loan amount was for Swedish Krona (“SEK”) 700,000 or approximately $90,000. This note is to be repaid by February 28, 2007 in quarterly installments of approximately SEK 54,000 or approximately $7,000. The interest rate on this note from July 1, 2005 is 8.75% per annum. As of June 30, 2005, the outstanding balance of the ALMI note was approximately SEK 345,000 or approximately $44,000. This loan is secured by a chattel mortgage in the amount of SEK 700,000 or approximately $90,000.
      In addition to the ALMI note payable, there is a note payable to Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken (“SEB”). The total note amount was SEK 300,000 or approximately $39,000. The interest rate on the SEB note is approximately 6.75% per annum. As of June 30, 2005, the outstanding balance was approximately SEK 158,000 or approximately $20,000. This note is to be repaid by January 2007 in monthly installments of approximately SEK 8,000 or approximately $1,000. This loan is secured by a chattel mortgage in the amount of SEK 500,000 or approximately $64,000.
      We also have a line of credit of SEK 200,000 or approximately $25,500 with SEB. As of June 30, 2005 there was no balance outstanding under this line. There is a commitment fee of 1.5% per annum on this line of credit and the borrowings bear interest at the rate of 5% per annum.
      On March 28, 2002, Insignia’s U.S. subsidiary, Insignia Solutions, Inc. (“Insignia U.S.”) entered into an accounts receivable financing agreement with Silicon Valley Bank. The financing agreement allowed Insignia U.S. to borrow an amount up to 80% of eligible receivables not to exceed $1,200,000 with interest at the bank’s prime rate plus two percentage points. Borrowings are subject to compliance with certain covenants, including a requirement to maintain specific financial ratios. Borrowings were secured by substantially all of the assets of Insignia U.S. There were no outstanding borrowings under this credit facility, and the credit line was cancelled on February 12, 2003.
Note 12 — Related Party:
      On February 13, 2001, we entered into a promissory note with Richard M. Noling, then President and Chief Executive Officer (and currently a director) of Insignia whereby Mr. Noling borrowed $150,000 from the U.S.-based subsidiary of Insignia. The promissory note was due in three equal installments, on each annual anniversary from the date of the note. The note was amended on January 24, 2002 to extend the first and subsequent installments one year. The first installment was due on February 13, 2003. Mr. Noling’s employment was terminated with Insignia effective February 14, 2003. We forgave, effective March 6, 2003 the balance of the loan, $125,363, in lieu of any bonus compensation. Interest accrued on the unpaid principal balance at a rate per annum equal to the prime lending rate of interest as listed in the Wall Street Journal plus 1%. Accrued interest was due and payable monthly in arrears on the last calendar day of each month.
      Two investors in the private placement on October 18, 2004 were related parties of Insignia. Mark McMillan, our Chief Executive Officer, invested $25,000 to purchase 52,083 ADSs and warrants to purchase 13,021 ADSs. In addition Vincent Pino, one of our directors, and his immediate family invested $200,000 to purchase 416,667 ADSs and warrants to purchase 104,167 ADSs.
      At December 31, 2004, the Company had $190,000 of other receivables due from Fusion Capital relating to the purchase of ADSs under the October 17, 2002 subscription agreement. This amount was received in January 2005.

      On March 16, 2005, we closed our acquisition of Mi4e. The consideration paid in the transaction was 2,969,692 ADSs representing ordinary shares and another 989,896 ADSs issuable on March 31, 2006, subject to potential offset for breach of representations, warranties and covenants. In addition up to a maximum of 700,000 Euros is payable in a potential earn-out based on a percentage of future revenue collected from sales of existing Mi4e products. As of June 30, 2005, $22,000 was earned. Anders Furehed, our senior vice president of European operations, was an indirect 50% shareholder of Mi4e and thus received 1,484,846 ADSs on the closing of the acquisition.
Note 13 — Joint Venture Agreement:
      On December 31, 2003, we entered into a joint venture agreement with J-Tek Corporation to form Insignia Asia Chusik Hoesa (“Insignia Asia”). We own 50% of the entity and are accounting for this investment under the equity method of accounting. In 2004, we made two investments of $75,000 each and shared in losses recognized of approximately $82,000. During the year ended December 31, 2004, Insignia recognized license revenue of $75,000 from Insignia Asia. In the six months ended June 30, 2005, we shared in losses recognized of $68,000 and Insignia recognized license revenue of $188,000 from Insignia Asia. At June 30, 2005, our investment in the joint venture has been written down to $0.
Note 14 — Restructuring:
      In February 2003, we announced a restructuring of the organization to focus on the device management technology. We restructured in both March and June resulting in a 62% headcount reduction and restructuring charges and payments of $498,000 from March through December 2003. In the third quarter of 2002, we completed a worldwide reduction of headcount of approximately 11% of our staff. Restructuring expenses of $296,000 consisted of severance payments made during the third and fourth quarters of 2002. Restructuring expenses which represented 70% and 4% of total revenues in 2003 and 2002, respectively, consisted of costs related to terminated employees, including severance payments as well as national insurance costs where legally required. At June 30, 2005 we had no future liability to any of the terminated employees.
Note 15 — Subsequent Events:
      At our general meeting of shareholders held on September 30, 2005, our shareholders approved an increase of 35,000,000 ordinary shares to our authorized share capital and a reduction of the nominal value of our ordinary shares from 20 pence per share to 1 pence per share. The reduction in the nominal value of our ordinary shares will become effective once the order of the English High Court confirming it is registered with the U.K. Registrar of Companies, which we expect to be completed by the end of January 2006. The increase in our authorized share capital is conditional upon the reduction of the nominal value of our ordinary shares becoming effective.
      Insignia entered into a bank loan agreement on September 30, 2005. This agreement allows Insignia to finance certain eligible accounts receivable. The bank, at its sole discretion, may advance for each receivable the advance rate multiplied by the receivable. Insignia can receive as a cash advance up to 80% of the eligible receivables up to a total of $1.0 million on qualified receivables of $1.25 million. The agreement has a one year term and all assets and intellectual property of the Company is collateral on this agreement.
      On September 22, 2005, Insignia received an advance of $150,000 from Fusion Capital. This advance is intended to be an advance on the 2005 Fusion Capital securities subscription agreement (see Note 9) and, as such, will be used by Fusion Capital to purchase ordinary shares of Insignia. If the registration of securities does not become final with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the $150,000 advance will become a loan payable.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Insignia Solutions plc:
      We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Insignia Solutions plc and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2004. The consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
      We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
      In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Insignia Solutions plc and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2004 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
      As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s recurring losses from operations raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans as to these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
Convenience translation (unaudited)
      The company maintains its accounting records and prepares its financial statements in Swedish Krona. The United States dollar amounts disclosed in the accompanying financial statements are presented solely for the convenience of the reader at the March 16, 2005 rate of SEK 6.77 to the dollar. Such translations should not be construed as representations that the Swedish Krona amounts represent, or have been or could be converted into, United States dollars at that or any other rate.
Organization and business
      Mi4e Device Management AB was registered on July 1, 2003 and commenced operations on September 9, 2003, at which date the assets and liabilities of an unrelated bankruptcy estate having operated under the name of Mi4e Global AB were acquired. The Company currently develops, markets and supports software technologies that enable mobile operators and phone manufacturers to update the firmware of mobile devices using standard over-the-air data networks.
Use of estimates
      The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Financial instruments
      We consider all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Amounts reported for cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities are considered to approximate fair value primarily due to their short maturities.
Revenue recognition
      We primarily entered into license arrangements for the sale of our products to OEMs and distributors. Service revenues were derived from non-recurring engineering activities, from training and from annual maintenance contracts.
      Revenue from licenses is recognized when persuasive evidence of an agreement exists, delivery of the product has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is probable. For contracts with multiple elements, and for which vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value for the undelivered elements exists, we recognize revenue for the delivered elements using the residual method as prescribed by Statement of Position (“SOP”) No 98-9, “Modification of SOP No 97-2 with Respect to Certain Transactions”. If vendor-specific objective evidence does not exist for all undelivered elements, all revenue is deferred until evidence exists, or all elements have been delivered. Generally we have vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value for the maintenance element of software arrangements based on the renewal rates for maintenance in future years as specified in the contracts. In such cases, we invoice the maintenance revenue periodically in arrears and recognize it ratably over the period during which the maintenance is provided, which generally commences on the date the software is delivered. Vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value for the service element is determined based on the price charged when those services are sold separately.
      We do not grant return rights or price protection under license agreements for our products.

MI4E DEVICE MANAGEMENT AB
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
Property and equipment
      Property and equipment is recorded at the lesser of cost or fair value, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of five years. When property and equipment is retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are relieved from the accounts and the net gain or loss is included in the determination of income.
Foreign currency translation
      Our functional currency for our operations is the Swedish Krona.
      We conduct most of our business in Euros and Swedish Krona. All amounts included in the financial statements and in the notes herein are in Swedish Krona. The exchange rate used between the Euro and the Swedish Krona was 9.09 and 9.14 per Euro at March 16, 2005 and June 30, 2004, respectively.
Software development costs
      We capitalize internal software development costs incurred after technological feasibility has been demonstrated. We define establishment of technological feasibility as the completion of a working model. Such capitalized amounts are amortized commencing with the introduction of that product at the greater of the straight-line basis utilizing its estimated economic life, generally six months to one year, or the ratio of actual revenues achieved to the total anticipated revenues over the life of the product. At March 16, 2005 and June 30, 2004 no software development costs were capitalized.
Research and development
      We expense the cost of research and development as incurred. Research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel costs, contractors, overhead costs relating to occupancy, software support and maintenance and equipment depreciation.
Income taxes
      We account for income taxes under an asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our financial statements or tax returns. In estimating future tax consequences, we generally consider all expected future events other than enactments of changes in the tax law or rates.
Concentrations of risk
      Financial instruments that potentially subject us to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash, cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable. We place our cash and cash equivalents in bank accounts and certificates of deposit with high credit quality financial institutions.
      We sell our products primarily to mobile network operators, original equipment manufacturers and distributors. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers’ financial condition and generally require no collateral from our customers. We maintain an allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable based upon the expected collectibility of all accounts receivable. At March 16, 2005 and June 30, 2004 our allowances for uncollectible accounts were SEK 157,000 and SEK 0, respectively. At March 16, 2005 and June 30, 2004, two customers accounted for 89% and 96% of our accounts receivables, respectively. For the 8.5 month period ended March 16, 2005 70% of our revenues were from our four largest customers and the balance was from a further six customers. For the year ended June 30, 2004 75% of our revenues were from our three largest customers and the balance was from a further six customers.

Comprehensive income
      Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income” (“SFAS 130”), requires that all items recognized under accounting standards as components of comprehensive income (loss), be reported in an annual statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other annual financial statements. SFAS 130 also requires that an entity classify items of other comprehensive income (loss) by their nature in an annual financial statement. Comprehensive income (loss), as defined, includes all changes in equity during a period from non-owner sources. The comprehensive loss is equal to the net loss for the period presented.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
      Effective March 16, 2005, Insignia Solutions plc (“Insignia”) acquired all of the outstanding shares of Mi4e Device Management AB (“Mi4e”). The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and accordingly, the purchase price was allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the basis of their estimated fair market values on the acquisition date.
      The purchase price of approximately $3.0 million consisted of 3,959,588 shares with a value of approximately $2,749,000 and acquisition costs of approximately $267,000.
      The following unaudited pro forma combined condensed consolidated statements of operations are derived from the historical consolidated financial statements of Insignia and Mi4e. The unaudited pro forma combined condensed consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2004 and the six months ended June 30, 2005 give effect to the acquisition of Mi4e as if it occurred on January 1, 2004. For purposes of the unaudited pro forma combined condensed consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2004, Insignia’s results of operations have been combined with Mi4e’s results of operations for such respective period as calculated by adding the results of operations of Mi4e for the six month period ended December 31, 2004 to the year ended June 30, 2004 and subtracting the six month period ended December 31, 2003. For the purposes of the unaudited pro forma combined condensed consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2005, Insignia’s results of operations, including the operating results of Mi4e since March 17, 2005, have been combined with Mi4e’s results of operations for the period from January 1, 2005 to March 16, 2005.
      The unaudited pro forma combined condensed consolidated financial statements presented are based on the assumptions and adjustments described in the accompanying notes. The unaudited pro forma combined condensed consolidated statements of operations do not purport to represent what Insignia’s results of operations would have been or would be if the transaction that gave rise to the pro forma adjustments had occurred on the date assumed and are not necessarily indicative of future results. The unaudited pro forma combined condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the historical consolidated financial statements and related notes of Mi4e included elsewhere herein.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. SUMMARY OF TRANSACTION
      The purchase price of approximately $3.0 million consisted of 3,959,588 ordinary shares with a value of approximately $2,749,000 and acquisition costs of approximately $267,000. The consideration paid in the transaction was 2,969,692 American depositary shares (“ADSs”) representing ordinary shares, and another 989,896 ADSs issuable on March 31, 2006, subject to potential offset for breach of representations, warranties and covenants. The fair value of Insignia’s ordinary notes was determined using an average value of $0.6943 per share, which was the average closing price of the Company’s ordinary shares three days before and after the measurement date of February 10, 2005. In addition, up to a maximum of 700,000 euros is payable in a potential earn-out based on a percentage of future revenue collected from sales of existing Mi4e products. Any earn-out amounts paid by Insignia to Mi4e’s shareholders will be recorded as additional purchase price and an increase to goodwill. Insignia allocated the initial purchase price to the tangible net assets and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, based on their estimated fair values. Under the purchase method of accounting, the initial purchase price does not include the contingent earn-out amount described above.
      The initial purchase price is allocated as follows (in thousands):

(a) Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired and liabilities assumed and will be periodically reviewed for impairment.
 
(b) Customer relationships will be amortized over 10 years, the period of time Insignia estimates it will benefit from the acquired customer relationships.
 
(c) Technology will be amortized over 5 years, the period of time Insignia estimates it will benefit from the technology acquired.

3. UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED NET LOSS PER SHARE
      The unaudited pro forma basic and diluted combined net loss per share is based on the historical weighted average number of shares of Insignia ordinary shares outstanding during the period plus the number of shares issued in connection with the acquisition. Shares used in computing diluted combined net loss per share exclude ordinary share equivalents as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive due to the net loss incurred.
