InFocus® Announces Second Quarter 2006
Financial Results

WILSONVILLE, Ore., July 25, 2006 — InFocus® Corporation (Nasdaq: INFS) today announced its second quarter 2006 financial results. On revenues of $97.6 million, the Company posted a net loss of $12.8 million, or $0.32 per share, compared to a net loss of $16.4 million, or $0.41 per share, for the first quarter of 2006 and a net loss of $19.6 million, or $0.49 per share for the second quarter of 2005.

Included in the second quarter 2006 financial results was a restructuring charge of $0.9 million, non-cash stock-based compensation expense of $0.3 million as a result of implementing the new stock option expensing accounting standard, and non-cash other expense of $3.4 million related to South Mountain Technologies, the company’s Chinese joint venture. In total, these items accounted for $4.6 million, or $0.12 per share, of the net loss recorded for the second quarter.

The Company also reported total cash and marketable securities as of June 30, 2006 of $92.4 million with no debt outstanding, up $14.2 million from the end of the first quarter. In addition, total inventories at the end of the second quarter were $47.5 million, down $2.3 million from the end of March.

Quarterly Revenue, Unit, ASP and Gross Margin Comparisons

Second quarter revenues of $97.6 million were down 13 percent compared with first quarter revenues and down 28 percent from revenues in the second quarter of 2005. Gross margins improved to 15.0 percent in the second quarter of 2006 from 14.9 percent in the first quarter. Overall, average selling prices were down 6 percent quarter to quarter, primarily a result of changes in the mix of products sold as opposed to price reductions across the product portfolio. Projector unit shipments were approximately 84,000 units in the second quarter, down about 11% from the prior quarter.

Operating Expenses Comparison Excluding Charges

Operating expenses, exclusive of restructuring charges and regulatory assessments, were $23.6 million for the second quarter of 2006, down $1.3 million from the first quarter of 2006 and down $4.3 million from the second quarter of 2005. Included in general and administrative operating expenses for the second quarter are approximately $1.1 million of legal and administrative costs associated with the audit committee investigations completed during the quarter.

Other expense, net for the second quarter was $2.8 million compared to other expense of $7.0 million in the first quarter and other income of $3.4 million in the second quarter of 2005. The company recorded $1.3 million of other expense related to its share of operating losses related to SMT and wrote off the remaining original SMT investment of $2.1 million as alternative strategies are sought for the joint venture. These expenses were offset by a $0.6 million gain on the sale of land during the second quarter. The major contributing item to other expense in the first quarter was a $7.5 million non-cash charge associated with writing down the realizable value of cost-based investments in Reflectivity and VST International.

Balance Sheet

Total cash and marketable securities as of June 30, 2006 were $92.4 million, an increase of $14.2 million from the end of March. Days sales outstanding for the quarter were 58 days, an increase of 2 days from the prior quarter. Inventory levels declined $2.3 million during the quarter to $47.5 million, resulting in improved inventory turns.

Outlook for Second Half 2006

During the second half of 2006, we expect the following factors to influence revenues and gross margins:

1. Minimal unit growth in the third quarter with an expected seasonal uplift in the fourth quarter and continued aggressive price competition across the front projection industry;

2. Greater revenue contribution from new products introduced in the first half of 2006 providing an improved margin opportunity;

3. Managing additional product transitions as the IN32, IN34 and IN42 products are introduced in the third quarter replacing the LP600, LP640 and LP840 products; and

4. The impact of lower priced plasma and LCD televisions on revenues in consumer electronics retail for the IN72 product during the holiday buying season.

Relative to operating expenses, the company expects to achieve a reduction in reported operating expenses as the benefits of previous restructuring actions are realized, audit committee investigation costs are eliminated, The University Network is successfully sold, and further actions are taken to fine tune the business model to reduce the company’s break even point.

Given the difficulty of predicting the financial results due to major shifts in the business model and markets, the company is not giving specific financial guidance for future periods at this time.

“While I am disappointed in our financial results for the quarter, many of our restructuring activities have been successful, preserving cash, reducing our cost structure, introducing several new products and launching a new brand campaign. However, our revenues and gross margins are not at the level we had anticipated,” stated Kyle Ranson, President and CEO, InFocus. “We remain committed to maximizing shareholder value, leveraging our core strengths and taking further cost actions as necessary to drive our core business to profitability.”

Reconciliation of GAAP and Pro Forma Information

The Company has recorded charges that are excluded from operating expenses and earnings for comparative purposes. In accordance with SEC FR-59, we have attached a Statement of Reconciliation of GAAP Earnings.
