ISE Reduces Headcount to Conserve Capital

Pursuing Financing Alternatives

SAN DIEGO, CA--(Marketwire - July 13, 2010) - ISE Limited (TSX: ISE) announced it has implemented a reduction in force of 45 employees across all functional areas to lower costs and conserve capital while the company actively seeks additional financing. ISE believes that, despite these reductions, it can continue the regular day-to-day operation of its business.

ISE's viability and ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on securing additional capital. Accordingly, ISE is actively seeking to raise additional capital through debt or equity or other capital raising efforts, which may include a sale of assets. ISE is also considering other strategic alternatives. There can be no assurance that ISE will be able to successfully obtain financing on commercially reasonable terms or at all, or that any sale of assets or other strategic transaction can be successfully consummated. ISE's existing cash and cash equivalents will not be sufficient to meet ISE's anticipated cash needs beyond July 2010 unless such additional financing is obtained or such other capital raising transaction is consummated.
