during Q2 2008, with no long-term debt

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

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

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

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

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

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

Second Quarter Product Area Highlights

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

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

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

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

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

Financial Highlights

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

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

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

Outlook

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

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

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

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

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