PROXY STATEMENT

April [ ], 2009

This Proxy Statement is for holders of ordinary shares of £0.01 each and holders of American Depositary Shares ("ADSs") evidenced by American depositary receipts of Insignia Solutions plc ("Insignia" or the "Company"), a company organized under the laws of England and Wales.  This proxy statement is furnished by the Board of Directors of Insignia (the "Board") in connection with the solicitation of specific voting instruction from the holders of ADSs and proxies from holders of ordinary shares for voting at the Annual General Meeting (the "AGM" or the "Annual General Meeting") of Insignia to be held at 7575 E. Redfield Road, Suite 201, Scottsdale, AZ 85260, on June [__], 2009 at 9 a.m. local time.  All proxies will be voted in accordance with the instructions contained therein and, if no choice is specified, the person or persons appointed as proxy will vote or abstain from voting, at their discretion.

At April 1, 2009, Insignia had 101,227,045 ordinary shares issued and entitled to vote, of which approximately 99% were held in the form of ADSs.  Each ADS represents one ordinary share.  A minimum of two persons present in person, by corporate representative or by proxy holding together not less than one-third of the ordinary shares then in issue will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the AGM. This proxy statement and the accompanying form of proxy were first mailed to shareholders on or about ________, 2009.

VOTING RIGHTS AND SOLICITATION OF PROXIES

Holders of ordinary shares entitled to attend and vote at the AGM may appoint a proxy to attend and, on a poll of such holders, to vote in their place.  A proxy need not be a shareholder of Insignia.  Voting will be by a poll on all the resolutions to be considered.  Holders of Insignia's ordinary shares are entitled to one vote for each ordinary share held.  Holders of ADS Shares are entitled to one vote for each ADS held.  Shares may not be voted cumulatively.

Resolutions 1 through 8 in the notice of AGM (the "Notice") comprise the ordinary business of the AGM and are ordinary resolutions, which require the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the AGM in person or by proxy.  Resolutions 9 through 10 and resolution 12 in the notice are items of special business which are again proposed as ordinary resolutions, requiring the same majority.  Resolution 11 in the notice is an item of special business proposed as a special resolution which requires the affirmative vote of at least 75% of the votes cast at the AGM in person or by proxy.  Insignia will tabulate all votes and will separately tabulate, for each resolution, affirmative and negative votes, abstentions and broker non-votes.  Abstentions and broker non-votes will not be counted in determining the votes.  A form of proxy is enclosed which, to be effective, must be signed, dated and deposited with Capita Registrars not less than 48 hours before the time of the AGM, together with the power of attorney or other authority (if any) under which it is signed.  Holders of ADSs should complete and return the voting instruction form provided to them to Bank of New York in accordance with the instructions contained therein, so that it is received on or before June [ ],  2009.  The close of business on _________, 2009 has been fixed as the record date for the determination of the holders of ADSs entitled to provide voting instructions to The Bank of New York, as depositary.
 
5

Insignia will pay the expenses of soliciting proxies and voting instructions.  Following the original mailing of the proxies and other soliciting materials, Insignia and/or its agents may also solicit proxies and voting instructions by mail, telephone, telegraph or in person.  Following the original mailing of the proxies and other soliciting materials, Insignia will request that brokers, custodians, nominees, The Bank of New York, as depositary, and other record holders of Insignia's ordinary shares or ADSs forward copies of the proxies and other soliciting materials to persons for whom they hold ordinary shares or ADSs and request authority for the exercise of proxies and/or voting instructions.  In such cases, Insignia, upon the request of the record holder, will reimburse such holder for their reasonable expenses.

REVOCABILITY OF PROXIES

Any person signing a proxy in the form accompanying this proxy statement has the power to revoke it at any time prior to one hour before the commencement of the AGM by written instrument delivered to Capita Registrars, or, in the case of ADS holders, to the Bank of New York  stating that the proxy is revoked, by attendance at the AGM and voting in person or by duly filing a replacement proxy.  Please note, however, that if a person's shares are held of record by a broker, bank or other nominee and that person wishes to vote at the AGM, the person concerned should ensure that the broker, bank or other nominee duly appoints such person as its proxy in order that he or she may do so.

As described further herein, the Board has approved the matters set forth in Resolutions 1 through 12 and believes they are fair to, and in the best interests of, the Company and its shareholders.  The Board recommends a vote "for" each of these resolutions.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING AND THE RESOLUTIONS

INFORMATION ABOUT ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

When is the Annual General Meeting?

June [__], 2009, 9 a.m. (local time).

Where will the Annual Meeting be held?

The Annual General Meeting will be held at Insignia’s international headquarters located at 7575 E. Redfield Road, Suite 201, Scottsdale, AZ 85260.

What is being considered at the AGM?

At the AGM, shareholders will be considering the resolutions set out in the Notice of Annual General Meeting appearing on pages 6-24 of this Proxy Statement.

Who is entitled to vote at the AGM?

Holders of ordinary shares and holders of American Depositary Shares (“ADS”).

YOUR BOARD HAS APPROVED EACH OF THE RESOLUTIONS SET FORTH HEREIN.

How do I vote?

You may vote either in person at the AGM, or by completing and returning a proxy setting out your voting intentions.  Your proxy will be entitled to attend, speak and vote at the AGM on your behalf. Voting in respect of each resolution will be taken on a poll.

What if I return my proxy card but do not include voting instructions?

Proxies that are signed and returned but do not include voting instructions will be voted FOR all of the resolutions proposed in the Notice.

What does it mean if I receive more than one proxy card?

It means you have multiple accounts with brokers and/or the Company's transfer agent. Please vote all of these ordinary shares. It is recommended that you contact your broker and/or the Company's transfer agent to consolidate as many accounts as possible under the same name and address. The Company's transfer agent in the case of ordinary shares is Capita Registrars and their telephone number is +44 871 664 0300 and in the case of ADSs, Bank of New York is the transfer agent and their telephone number is +1 212 815-8257.

Will my shares be voted if I do not provide my proxy?

If you hold your shares directly in your own name, they will not be voted if you do not provide a proxy.

Your shares may be voted under certain circumstances if they are held in the name of a brokerage firm. Brokerage firms generally have the authority to vote customers' un-voted shares on certain "routine" matters.  None of the increase in the Company's authorized share capital, the granting to the directors of authority to allot shares and to disapply pre-emption rights, or the adoption of the 2009 Stock Incentive Plan are considered "routine" matters. When a brokerage firm votes its customers' un-voted shares, these shares are counted for the purposes of establishing a quorum.
 
7

How do I vote if I hold shares registered in the name of a broker or bank?

If, on ________, 2009, your shares were not held in your name, but rather were held in an account at a brokerage firm, bank, dealer, or other similar organization, then you are the beneficial owner of shares held in "street name" and a Notice of Proxy Materials was forwarded to you by that organization. The organization holding your account is considered to be the shareholder of record for purposes of voting at the AGM. However, as a beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker or other agent regarding how to vote the shares held in your account. You are also invited to attend the AGM. However, since you are not the shareholder of record, you may not vote your shares in person at the AGM unless you request and obtain a valid proxy from your broker or other agent and bring such proxy to the AGM. If you want to attend the AGM, but not vote, you must provide proof of beneficial ownership as of the record date, such as your most recent account statement prior to ________, 2009, a copy of the voting instruction card provided by your broker or other agent, or other similar evidence of ownership. Whether or not you plan to attend the AGM, you are urged to vote by proxy in advance of the AGM to ensure your vote is counted.

Can I change my mind after I return my proxy?

Yes. You may change your vote at any time before one hour prior to the commencement of the AGM. If you are a shareholder of record, you can do this by giving written notice to Capita Registrars, or, in the case of ADS holders, to the Bank of New York  by submitting another proxy with a later date, or by attending the AGM and voting in person. If you are a shareholder in "street" or "nominee" name, you should consult with the bank, broker or other nominee regarding that entity's procedures for revoking your voting instructions.

How many shareholders must be present to hold the AGM?

You are counted as present at the AGM if you attend the AGM in person (or, in the case of a corporation, a duly authorized corporate representative attends in person) or if you properly return a proxy by mail and your proxy attends and votes at the AGM. In order for us to conduct the Company's meeting, two members holding at least one third of the Company's issued and outstanding ordinary share capital must be present in person, by corporate representative or by proxy at the AGM. This is referred to as a quorum. On April 1, 2009, there were 101,227,045 ordinary shares outstanding.

What vote is required to approve the ordinary business?

Resolutions 1 through 8 are ordinary resolutions, which will require the approval of more than fifty (50%) percent of the votes exercised in person or by proxy at the AGM.  Abstentions or "broker non-votes" are not counted as a vote under English law and will therefore not be counted in determining the number of votes exercised at the AGM.

What vote is required to approve the increase in authorized share capital?

The resolution proposing the increase in authorized share capital is an ordinary resolution, which will require the approval of more than fifty percent (50%) of the votes exercised in person or by proxy at the AGM.  Abstentions or "broker non-votes" are not counted as a vote under English law and will therefore not be counted in determining the number of votes exercised at the AGM.
 
8

What vote is required to grant authority to the directors to allot shares?

The resolution proposing to grant the directors authority to allot shares is an ordinary resolution, which will require the approval of more than fifty percent (50%) of the votes exercised in person or by proxy at the AGM.  Abstentions or "broker non-votes" are not counted as a vote under English law and will therefore not be counted in determining the number of votes exercised at the AGM.

What vote is required to grant authority to the directors to issue shares for cash free of statutory pre-emption rights?

The resolution proposing to grant the directors authority to issue shares for cash free of statutory pre-emption rights is a special resolution, which will require the approval of seventy-five percent (75%) or more of the votes exercised in person or by proxy at the AGM.  Abstentions or "broker non-votes" are not counted as a vote under English law and will therefore not be counted in determining the number of votes exercised at the AGM.

What vote is required to approve the 2009 Long-Term Incentive Plan?

The resolution proposing the approval of the 2009 Long-Term Incentive Plan is an ordinary resolution, which will require the approval of more than fifty percent (50%) of the votes exercised in person or by proxy at the AGM.  Abstentions or "broker non-votes" are not counted as a vote under English law and will therefore not be counted in determining the number of votes exercised at the AGM.

Who will bear the costs of this solicitation?

The Company will bear the entire cost of solicitation of proxies, including preparation, assembly, printing and mailing of this proxy statement, the proxy card and any additional information furnished to shareholders. Copies of solicitation materials will be furnished to banks, brokerage houses, fiduciaries and custodians holding ordinary shares or ADSs in their names shares beneficially owned by others to forward to the beneficial owners. The Company may reimburse persons representing beneficial owners of ordinary shares or ADSs for their costs of forwarding solicitation materials to the beneficial owners. Original solicitation of proxies by mail may be supplemented by telephone, facsimile or personal solicitation by the Company's directors, officers or other regular employees.

How can I find out the results of the voting at the Annual General Meeting?

Preliminary voting results will be announced at the Annual General Meeting. Final voting results will be published in the Company's quarterly report or on a Current Report on Form 8-K.

RESOLUTION 9
INCREASE IN AUTHORIZED SHARE CAPITAL
 
The directors wish to increase the authorized share capital of the Company so that further shares can be issued. It is proposed to increase the authorized share capital from 110,000,000 to 300,000,000 ordinary shares which will leave approximately 43% of the authorized share capital available for issue after the issuance of the Merger Consideration and other share issuances, options and restricted stock grants as discussed herein. Other than expressly set forth herein, the directors have no current plans to issue further ordinary shares.

Currently, the Company is unable to issue all of the Merger Consideration or to issue new ordinary shares, options or warrants, as the Company's authorized share capital is inadequate.  This resolution would enable us to issue new ordinary shares, as required under the terms of the Merger, as well as enable us to issue shares in the future whether pursuant to a financing or acquisition transaction or in the ordinary course of the Company's business.

On June 23, 2008, Insignia and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Jeode, Inc., entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") with DollarDays International, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("DollarDays"), providing for the merger of DollarDays into Jeode (the "Merger").  The Merger was completed on June 23, 2008.  Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, Insignia will (1) issue American Depositary Shares ("ADSs") representing 73,333,333 ordinary shares to DollarDays' shareholders, (2) issue a warrant for 8,551,450 ordinary shares to Peter Engel, the chief executive officer of DollarDays, (3) issue a warrant for 3,603,876 ordinary shares to a financial advisor to DollarDays, and (4) issue options to purchase 6,213,142 ADSs, in replacement of outstanding DollarDays options (collectively, the "Merger Consideration").

At the time of the Merger, Insignia's authorized capital consisted of 110,000,000 ordinary shares, of which 50,934,080 ordinary shares, including ordinary shares underlying ADSs, were issued and outstanding.  Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Insignia was required to issue 73,333,333 ordinary shares in the form of ADSs to DollarDays shareholders and reserve 19,515,859 ordinary shares underlying options and warrants.

As a result of Insignia not having enough authorized capital to issue all of the Merger Consideration, as a closing condition to the Merger Agreement, Insignia was required to (1) issue 46,978,375 ADSs to DollarDays shareholders at the time of closing of the Merger, and (2) take all necessary actions, including obtaining shareholder approval from Insignia shareholders as may be required to increase the authorized share capital of Insignia as may be necessary to authorize and deliver all of the remaining Merger Consideration.

As of the date of this prospectus, Insignia has issued 44,695,981 ADSs to DollarDays shareholders and   Insignia must issue the remaining 28,637,352 ADSs and 20,086,821 options and warrants to DollarDays shareholders and various other individuals.

In addition, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Insignia agreed to issue approximately 7,682,926 ADSs to an investor in DollarDays (“Amorim”) in exchanged for repayment of a promissory note and cash invested as follows: (1) 4,921,791 ADSs at the time of closing of the Merger and (2) taking all necessary actions, including obtaining shareholder approval as may be necessary to authorize and deliver an additional 2,761,135 ADSs.  As of the date of this prospectus, Insignia has issued 5,596,984 ADSs to Amorim, but must issue the remaining 2,085,942 ADSs.
 
15

The Company also agreed to issue 570,962 warrants to a financial advisor in connection with the Merger.

Furthermore, the Company currently has a 1995 Incentive Stock Option Plan (the "1995 Option Plan"), of which Insignia has outstanding 94,750 ordinary shares of the 8,527,071 ordinary shares reserved under such Plan.  As of the date of this prospectus, no additional shares are available for issuance pursuant to the 1995 Option Plan.  Insignia intends to adopt a new stock option plan, as discussed herein, to issue the outstanding Merger Consideration due to DollarDays Shareholders.  For more information regarding the new stock option plan, please see Resolution 12.

The Company’s Board of Directors has approved the grant of an aggregate of 14,756,360 shares of restricted shares vesting as follows:
 
·
Twenty percent at the date of grant;
 
·
Twenty percent on the first anniversary of the date of grant conditional upon the achievement of a closing price not less than $0.06 and daily volume of 50,000 shares for 25 days of the 30 day period prior to the anniversary date;
 
·
Thirty percent on the second anniversary of the date of grant conditional upon the achievement of a closing price not less than $0.10 and daily volume of 50,000 shares for 25 days of the 30 day period prior to the anniversary date; and
  
·
Thirty percent on the third anniversary of the date of grant conditional upon the achievement of a closing price not less than $0.15 and daily volume of 50,000 shares for 25 days of the 30 day period prior to the anniversary date.

As the Company did not have available authorized shares available for the grant of restricted stock, the Company will issue the shares at a future date when shares are available.

The increase in the number of authorized shares would enable the Company, without further shareholder approval, to reserve and issue shares underlying the Merger Consideration and all other ordinary shares, options and warrants due to the various individuals and to issue shares from time to time as may be required for proper business purposes, such as raising additional capital for ongoing operations, business and asset acquisitions, stock splits and dividends, present and future employee benefit programs and other corporate purposes.  As of the date hereof, there are no plans to issue additional ordinary shares other than as expressly set forth herein.

Shares to be Issued

As previously described, the Company is currently obligated under various agreements to issue an aggregate of 30,723,294 ordinary shares, 20,086,821 options and warrants, and 14,756,360 restricted shares. The increase in the number of authorized shares is being proposed in part to provide for sufficient authorized but unissued shares to satisfy the Company's obligations under these agreements. The specific amounts and the terms upon which the Company shall be obligated to issue the ordinary shares are as follows:

AUTHORITY TO ALLOT ORDINARY SHARES

This resolution grants the directors authority to allot shares in the capital of the Company and other relevant securities up to an aggregate nominal value of £1,900,000, representing approximately 110% of the nominal value of the issued ordinary share capital of the Company as shown in the latest audited accounts of the Company.  The directors do not have any present intention of exercising this authority other than in relation to the Merger and the proposed 2009 Incentive Plan but they consider it desirable that the specified amount of authorized but unissued share capital is available for issue so that they can more readily take advantage of possible opportunities.  Unless revoked, varied or extended, this authority will expire on the fifth anniversary of the date of the resolution.

This resolution authorizes the directors in certain circumstances to allot equity securities for cash other than in accordance with the statutory pre-emption rights (which require a company to offer all allotments for cash first to existing shareholders in proportion to their holdings).  The relevant circumstances are either where the allotment takes place in connection with a rights issue or the allotment is limited to a maximum nominal amount of £1,900,000, representing approximately 110% of the nominal value of the issued ordinary share capital of the Company.  Unless revoked, varied or extended, this authority will expire on the fifth anniversary of the date of the resolution.

RESOLUTION 12
APPROVAL OF THE 2009 LONG TERM INCENTIVE PLAN

Background

The Company's 2009 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "Incentive Plan") has been approved by the Board. The purposes of the Company's Incentive Plan are to create incentives designed to motivate the Company's employees to significantly contribute toward the Company's growth and profitability, to provide the Company's executives, directors and other employees, and persons who, by their position, ability and diligence, are able to make important contributions to the Company's growth and profitability, with an incentive to assist us in achieving the Company's long-term corporate objectives, to attract and retain executives and other employees of outstanding competence, and to provide such persons with an opportunity to acquire an equity interest in the Company.

The Company may grant incentive and non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, performance units, restricted stock awards and performance bonuses, or collectively, awards, to the Company's officers and key employees, and those of the Company's subsidiaries. In addition, the Incentive Plan authorizes the grant of non-qualified stock options and restricted stock awards to the Company's directors and to any independent contractors and consultants who by their position, ability and diligence are able to make important contributions to the Company's future growth and profitability. Generally, all classes of the Company's employees are eligible to participate in the Company's Incentive Plan. Except for the Merger Consideration of 7,360,533 options due to DollarDays optionholders as discussed in this Proxy, no  options, restricted stock or other awards under the Incentive Plan have been made or committed to be made as of the date of this proxy statement.

The following is a summary of the material provisions of the Company's Incentive Plan and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Company's Incentive Plan, a copy of which is attached to this proxy statement as Exhibit "A".

Shares Subject to the 2009 Incentive Plan

Upon the approval of Resolution 12, the Company will have reserved a maximum of 20,000,000 of the Company's authorized ordinary shares for issuance upon the exercise of awards to be granted pursuant to the Incentive Plan. Each share issued under an option or under a restricted stock award will be counted against this limit. Shares to be delivered at the time a stock option is exercised or at the time a restricted stock award is made may be available from authorized but unissued shares or from stock previously issued but which the Company has reacquired and holds in the Company's treasury.

In the event of any change in the Company's outstanding ordinary shares by reason of any reorganization, recapitalization, stock split, stock dividend, combination of shares, asset acquisition, consolidation, issuance of rights or other similar transactions, the number of the Company's ordinary shares which may be issued upon exercise of outstanding options, and the exercise price of options previously granted under the Company's Incentive Plan, will be proportionally adjusted to prevent any enlargement or dilution of the rights of holders of previously granted options under the Company's Incentive Plan as may be appropriate to reflect any such transaction or event.

Administration

The Board has established a compensation committee that, among other duties, will administer the Incentive Plan. The compensation committee is composed of four members of the Board, a majority of whom will be "non-employee directors" within the meaning of Rule 16b-3(b)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Members of the Company's compensation committee will serve at the pleasure of the Board. In connection with the administration of the Company's Incentive Plan, the compensation committee, with respect to awards to be made to any person who is not one of the Company's directors, will:

·
determine which employees and other persons will be granted awards under the Company's Incentive Plan;
·
grant the awards to those selected to participate;
·
determine the exercise price for options; and
·
prescribe any limitations, restrictions and conditions upon any awards, including the vesting conditions of awards.

With respect to stock options or restricted stock awards to be made to any of the Company's directors, the compensation committee will make recommendations to the Board:

·
which of such persons should be granted stock options, restricted stock awards, performance units or stock appreciation rights;
·
the terms of proposed grants of awards to those selected by the Board to participate;
·
the exercise price for options; and
·
any limitations, restrictions and conditions upon any awards.

Any grant of awards to any of the Company's directors under the Incentive Plan must be approved by the Board.
 
In addition, the compensation committee will:

·
interpret the Company's Incentive Plan; and
·
make all other determinations and take all other action that may be necessary or advisable to implement and administer the Company's Incentive Plan.

Types of Awards

The Company's Incentive Plan permits the compensation committee to grant the following types of awards.

Stock Options. Stock options are contractual rights entitling an optionee who has been granted a stock option to purchase a stated number of the Company's ordinary shares at an exercise price per share determined at the date of the grant. Options are evidenced by stock option agreements with the respective optionees. The exercise price for each stock option granted under the Company's Incentive Plan will be determined by the Board or a committee of the Board at the time of the grant, but will not be less than fair market value on the date of the grant. The Board or a committee of the Board will also determine the duration of each option; however, no option may be exercisable more than ten years after the date the option is granted. Within the foregoing limitations, the Board or committee of the Board may, in its discretion, impose limitations on exercise of all or some options granted under the Company's Incentive Plan, such as specifying minimum periods of time after grant during which options may not be exercised. Options granted under the Company's Incentive Plan will vest at rates specified in the option agreement at the time of grant; however, all options granted under the Company's Incentive Plan will vest upon the occurrence of a change of control, as defined in the Incentive Plan. The Company's Incentive Plan also contains provisions for the Company's Board or a committee of the Board to provide in the participants' option award agreements for accelerating the right of an individual employee to exercise his or her stock option or restricted stock award in the event of retirement or other termination of employment. No cash consideration is payable to us in exchange for the grant of options.
 
21

The Company may grant either Incentive Stock Options or Non-Qualified Options.  Incentive Stock Options are options within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.  Non-Qualified Options are any options that are not Incentive Stock Options.

Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to the Company's employees or employees of the Company's subsidiaries, and must be granted at a per share option price not less than the fair market value of the Company's ordinary shares on the date the Incentive Stock Option is granted. The exercise price of stock options may be paid in cash, in whole shares of the Company's ordinary shares, in a combination of cash and ordinary shares, or in such other form of consideration as the Board or the committee of the Board may determine, equal in value to the exercise price. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a shareholder who owns shares of the Company's outstanding stock representing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all of the Company's outstanding stock entitled to vote in the election of directors, the per share option price must be not less than 110% of the fair market value of one ordinary share on the date the Incentive Stock Option is granted, and the term of such option may not exceed five years. The Code, the aggregate fair market value, determined at the time an Incentive Stock Option is granted, of the Company's ordinary shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options may be exercised by an optionee for the first time during any calendar year under all of the Company's incentive stock option plans may not exceed $100,000.  Options granted under the Incentive Plan shall be exercisable, in whole or in such installments and at such times, and shall expire at such time, as shall be determined by the Board when the options are awarded.  The Board shall also determine other terms and conditions of related to the options, such as employee service periods, holding periods and terms of forfeiture.

Non-Qualified Options may be granted to the Company’s employees, directors,  independent contractors and consultants and the per share exercise price for Non-Qualified Options may not be less than the fair market value of one ordinary share on the date the Non-Qualified Option is granted. Non-Qualified Options are not subject to any of the restrictions described above with respect to Incentive Stock Options.  The exercise price of stock options may be paid in cash, in whole shares of the Company's ordinary shares, in a combination of cash and ordinary shares, or in such other form of consideration as the Board or the committee of the Board may determine, equal in value to the exercise price. Options granted under the Incentive Plan shall be exercisable, in whole or in such installments and at such times, and shall expire at such time, as shall be determined by the Board when the options are awarded.  The Board shall also determine other terms and conditions of related to the options, such as employee service periods, holding periods and terms of forfeiture. However, only ordinary shares which the option holder has held for at least six months on the date of the exercise may be surrendered in payment of the exercise price for the options. In no event may a stock option be exercised after the expiration of its stated term.

Stock Appreciation Rights. A stock appreciation right permits the grantee to receive an amount (in cash, ordinary shares, or a combination thereof) equal to the number of stock appreciation rights exercised by the grantee multiplied by the excess of the fair market value of the Company's ordinary shares on the exercise date over the stock appreciation rights' exercise price. Stock appreciation rights may or may not be granted in connection with the grant of an option. The exercise price of stock appreciation rights granted under the Incentive Plan will be determined by the Board or a committee of the Board; provided, however, that such exercise price cannot be less than the fair market value of one ordinary share on the date the stock appreciation right is granted (subject to adjustments). A stock appreciation right may be exercised in whole or in such installments and at such times as determined by the Board or a committee of the Board.
 
22

Restricted Stock. Restricted ordinary shares may be granted under the Company's Incentive Plan subject to such terms and conditions, including forfeiture and vesting provisions, and restrictions against sale, transfer or other disposition as the Board, or a committee of the Board, may determine to be appropriate at the time of making the award. In addition, the Board or a committee of the Board may direct that share certificates representing restricted stock be inscribed with a legend as to the restrictions on sale, transfer or other disposition, and may direct that the certificates, along with a stock power signed in blank by the grantee, be delivered to and held by the Company until such restrictions lapse. The Board or a committee of the Board, in its discretion, may provide in the award agreement for a modification or acceleration of shares of restricted stock in the event of permanent disability, retirement or other termination of employment or business relationship with the grantee.

Performance Units. The Incentive Plan permits grants of performance units, which are rights to receive cash payments equal to the difference (if any) between the fair market value of one ordinary share on the date of grant and its fair market value on the date of exercise of the award, except to the extent otherwise provided by the Board or a committee of the Board, or as required by law. Such awards are subject to the fulfillment of conditions that may be established by the Board or a committee of the Board including, without limitation, the achievement of performance targets based upon the factors described above relating to restricted stock awards.

Performance Bonus. The Incentive Plan permits grants of performance bonuses, which may be paid in cash, ordinary shares or a combination thereof, as determined by the Board or a committee of the Board. The maximum value of performance bonus awards granted under the Incentive Plan shall be established by the compensation committee at the time of the grant. An employee's receipt of such amount will be contingent upon achievement of performance targets during the performance period established by the compensation committee. The performance targets will be determined by the Board or a committee of the Board based upon the factors described above relating to restricted stock awards. Following the end of the performance period, the Board or a committee of the Board will determine the achievement of the performance targets for such performance period. Payment may be made within 60 days of such determination. Any payment made in ordinary shares will be based upon the fair market value of the ordinary shares on the payment date.

Transferability

With the exception of Non-Qualified Stock Options, awards are not transferable other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, except as specifically approved by the Board.  Non-Qualified Stock Options are transferable on a limited basis. Restricted stock awards are not transferable during the restriction period.

Change of Control Event

The Incentive Plan provides for the acceleration of any unvested portion of any outstanding awards under the Incentive Plan upon a change of control event unless the terms of a particular award state otherwise.
 
23

Termination of Employment/Relationship

Awards granted under the Company's Incentive Plan that have not vested will generally terminate immediately upon the grantee's termination of employment or business relationship with us or any of the Company's subsidiaries for any reason other than retirement, disability or death. The Board or a committee of the Board may determine at the time of the grant that an award agreement should contain provisions permitting the grantee to exercise the stock options for any stated period after such termination, or for any period the Board or a committee of the Board determines to be advisable after the grantee's employment or business relationship with us terminates by reason of retirement, disability, death or termination without cause. Incentive Stock Options will, however, terminate no more than three months after termination of the optionee's employment, twelve months after termination of the optionee's employment due to disability and three years after termination of the optionee's employment due to death, except as otherwise determined by the Board. The Board or a committee of the Board may permit a deceased optionee's stock options to be exercised by the optionee's executor or heirs during a period acceptable to the Board or a committee of the Board following the date of the optionee's death but such exercise must occur prior to the expiration date of the stock option.

Dilution; Substitution

As described above, the Company's Incentive Plan will provide protection against substantial dilution or enlargement of the rights granted to holders of awards in the event of stock splits, recapitalizations, asset acquisitions, consolidations, reorganizations or similar transactions. New award rights may, but need not, be substituted for the awards granted under the Company's Incentive Plan, or the Company's obligations with respect to awards outstanding under the Company's Incentive Plan may, but need not, be assumed by another corporation in connection with any asset acquisition, consolidation, acquisition, separation, reorganization, sale or distribution of assets, liquidation or like occurrence in which the Company is involved.  In the event the Company's Incentive Plan is assumed, the stock issuable with respect to awards previously granted under the Company's Incentive Plan shall thereafter include the stock of the corporation granting such new option rights or assuming the Company's obligations under the Incentive Plan.

Amendment of the Incentive Plan

The Company's Board may amend the Company's Incentive Plan at any time. However, without shareholder approval, the Company's Incentive Plan may not be amended in a manner that would:

·
increase the number of shares that may be issued under the Company's Incentive Plan;
·
materially modify the requirements for eligibility for participation in the Company's Incentive Plan;
·
materially increase the benefits to participants provided by the Company's Incentive Plan; or
·
otherwise disqualify the Company's Incentive Plan for coverage under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Awards previously granted under the Company's Incentive Plan may not be impaired or affected by any amendment of the Company's Incentive Plan, without the consent of the affected grantees.

Accounting Treatment

Under generally accepted accounting principles with respect to the financial accounting treatment of stock options used to compensate employees, upon the grant of stock options under the Company's Incentive Plan, the fair value of the options will be measured on the date of grant and this amount will be recognized as a compensation expense ratably over the vesting period. Stock appreciation rights granted under the Incentive Plan must be settled in ordinary shares. Therefore, stock appreciation rights granted under the Incentive Plan will receive the same accounting treatment as options. The cash the Company receives upon the exercise of stock options will be reflected as an increase in the Company's capital. No additional compensation expense will be recognized at the time stock options are exercised, although the issuance of ordinary shares upon exercise may reduce basic earnings per share, as more ordinary shares would then be outstanding.
 
24
 
When the Company makes a grant of restricted stock, the fair value of the restricted stock award at the date of grant will be determined and this amount will be recognized over the vesting period of the award. The fair value of a restricted stock award is equal to the fair market value of the Company's ordinary shares on the date of grant.

Due to consideration of the accounting treatment of stock options and restricted stock awards by various regulatory bodies, it is possible that the present accounting treatment may change.

Tax Treatment

The following is a brief description of the federal income tax consequences, under existing law, with respect to awards that may be granted under the Company's Incentive Plan.

Incentive Stock Options. An optionee will not realize any taxable income upon the grant or the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option. However, the amount by which the fair market value of the shares covered by the Incentive Stock Option (on the date of exercise) exceeds the option price paid will be an item of tax preference to which the alternative minimum tax may apply, depending on each optionee's individual circumstances. If the optionee does not dispose of the shares of the Company's ordinary shares acquired by exercising an Incentive Stock Option within two years from the date of the grant of the Incentive Stock Option or within one year after the shares are transferred to the optionee, when the optionee later sells or otherwise disposes of the stock, any amount realized by the optionee in excess of the option price will be taxed as a long-term capital gain and any loss will be recognized as a long-term capital loss. The Company generally will not be entitled to an income tax deduction with respect to the grant or exercise of an Incentive Stock Option.

If any of the Company's ordinary shares acquired upon exercise of an Incentive Stock Option are resold or disposed of before the expiration of the prescribed holding periods, the optionee would realize ordinary income, instead of capital gain. The amount of the ordinary income realized would be equal to the lesser of (i) the excess of the fair market value of the stock on the exercise date over the option price; or (ii) in the case of a taxable sale or exchange, the amount of the gain realized. Any additional gain would be either long-term or short-term capital gain, depending on whether the applicable capital gain holding period has been satisfied. In the event of a premature disposition of shares of stock acquired by exercising an Incentive Stock Option, the Company would be entitled to a deduction equal to the amount of ordinary income realized by the optionee.

Non-Qualified Options. An optionee will not realize any taxable income upon the grant of a Non-Qualified Option. At the time the optionee exercises the Non-Qualified Option, the amount by which the fair market value at the time of exercise of the shares covered by the Non-Qualified Option exceeds the option price paid upon exercise will constitute ordinary income to the optionee in the year of such exercise. The Company will be entitled to a corresponding income tax deduction in the year of exercise equal to the ordinary income recognized by the optionee. If the optionee thereafter sells such shares, the difference between any amount realized on the sale and the fair market value of the shares at the time of exercise will be taxed to the optionee as capital gain or loss, short- or long-term depending on the length of time the stock was held by the optionee before sale.

Stock Appreciation Rights. A participant realizes no taxable income and the Company is not entitled to a deduction when a stock appreciation right is granted. Upon exercising a stock appreciation right, a participant will realize ordinary income in an amount equal to the fair market value of the shares received minus any amount paid for the shares, and the Company will be entitled to a corresponding deduction. A participant's tax basis in the ordinary shares received upon exercise of a stock appreciation right will be equal to the fair market value of such shares on the exercise date, and the participant's holding period for such shares will begin at that time. Upon sale of the ordinary shares received upon exercise of a stock appreciation right, the participant will realize short-term or long-term capital gain or loss, depending upon whether the shares have been held for more than one year. The amount of such gain or loss will be equal to the difference between the amount realized in connection with the sale of the shares, and the participant's tax basis in such shares.
 
25

Restricted Stock Award. A recipient of restricted stock generally will not recognize any taxable income until the shares of restricted stock become freely transferable or are no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture. At that time, the excess of the fair market value of the restricted stock over the amount, if any, paid for the restricted stock is taxable to the recipient as ordinary income. If a recipient of restricted stock subsequently sells the shares, he or she generally will realize capital gain or loss in the year of such sale in an amount equal to the difference between the net proceeds from the sale and the price paid for the stock, if any, plus the amount previously included in income as ordinary income with respect to such restricted shares.

A recipient has the opportunity, within certain limits, to fix the amount and timing of the taxable income attributable to a grant of restricted stock. Section 83(b) of the Code permits a recipient of restricted stock, which is not yet required to be included in taxable income, to elect, within 30 days of the award of restricted stock, to include in income immediately the difference between the fair market value of the shares of restricted stock at the date of the award and the amount paid for the restricted stock, if any. The election permits the recipient of restricted stock to fix the amount of income that must be recognized by virtue of the restricted stock grant. The Company will be entitled to a deduction in the year the recipient is required (or elects) to recognize income by virtue of receipt of restricted stock, equal to the amount of taxable income recognized by the recipient.

Performance Units and Performance Bonuses. A participant realizes no taxable income and the Company is not entitled to a deduction when performance units or performance bonuses are awarded. When the performance units or performance bonuses vest and become payable upon the achievement of the performance objectives, the participant will realize ordinary income equal to the amount of cash received or the fair market value of the shares received minus any amount paid for the shares, and the Company will be entitled to a corresponding deduction. A participant's tax basis in ordinary shares received upon payment will be equal to the fair market value of such shares when the participant receives them. Upon sale of the shares, the participant will realize short-term or long-term capital gain or loss, depending upon whether the shares have been held for more than one year at the time of sale. Such gain or loss will be equal to the difference between the amount realized upon the sale of the shares and the tax basis of the shares in the participant's hands.
 
Section 162(m) of the Code. Section 162(m) of the Code precludes a public corporation from taking a deduction for annual compensation in excess of $1.0 million paid to its chief executive officer or any of its four other highest-paid officers. However, compensation that qualifies under Section 162(m) of the Code as "performance-based" is specifically exempt from the deduction limit. Based on Section 162(m) of the Code and the regulations thereunder, the Company's ability to deduct compensation income generated in connection with the exercise of stock options or stock appreciation rights granted under the Incentive Plan should not be limited by Section 162(m) of the Code. Further, the Board believes that compensation income generated in connection with performance awards granted under the Incentive Plan should not be limited by Section 162(m) of the Code. The Incentive Plan has been designed to provide flexibility with respect to whether restricted stock awards or performance bonuses will qualify as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code and, therefore, be exempt from the deduction limit. If the vesting restrictions relating to any such award are based solely upon the satisfaction of one of the performance goals set forth in the Incentive Plan, then the Board believes that the compensation expense relating to such an award will be deductible by us if the awards become vested. However, compensation expense deductions relating to such awards will be subject to the Section 162(m) deduction limitation if such awards become vested based upon any other criteria set forth in such award (such as the occurrence of a change in control or vesting based upon continued employment with us).
 
26

Certain Awards Deferring or Accelerating the Receipt of Compensation. Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, enacted as part of the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004, imposes certain new requirements applicable to "nonqualified deferred compensation plans." If a nonqualified deferred compensation plan subject to Section 409A fails to meet, or is not operated in accordance with, these new requirements, then all compensation deferred under the plan may become immediately taxable. Stock appreciation rights and deferred stock awards which may be granted under the plan may constitute deferred compensation subject to the Section 409A requirements. It is the Company's intention that any award agreement governing awards subject to Section 409A will comply with these new rules.

To the best of the knowledge and belief of such directors (who have taken all reasonable care to ensure that such is the case) the information contained in this document is in accordance with the facts and does not omit anything likely to affect the import of such information.

Change in Control

On the closing date of the Merger, Insignia consummated the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, pursuant to which Insignia acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of DollarDays in exchange for the issuance of ordinary shares (or ADSs representing ordinary shares) of Insignia to the DollarDays Shareholders and Amorim.  As previously disclosed under Item 2.01, Insignia did not have enough authorized capital to issue all of the consideration due to the DollarDays Shareholders and Amorim.  As of the date of this proxy statement, the DollarDays Shareholders and Amorim represent 49.7% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of Insignia.  Upon approval by the Insignia shareholders to increase the authorized capital of Insignia and approval of the 2009 Incentive Plan, the remaining consideration due to the DollarDays Shareholders and Amorim, respectively, will represent 62.9% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of Insignia.

The issuance of the ordinary shares (or ADS representing ordinary shares) was exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”), pursuant to Section 4(2) of, and Regulation D promulgated under, the Securities Act.  Following the Merger, DollarDays became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Insignia and, except for Vincent Pino, designees of DollarDays became the sole officers and directors of Insignia.

No officer, director, promoter, or affiliate of Insignia has, or proposes to have, any direct or indirect material interest in any asset proposed to be acquired by Insignia through security holders, contracts, options or otherwise.

In preparing those financial statements, the directors are required to select suitable accounting policies, and then apply them on a consistent basis, making judgements and estimates that are prudent and reasonable. The directors must state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements.

We have audited the group and parent company financial statements of Insignia Solutions Plc for the year ended 31 December 2007 which comprise the consolidated profit and loss account, consolidated balance sheet, company balance sheet, consolidated cash flow statement, and related notes. These have been prepared under the accounting policies set out in the statement of accounting policies.
 
This report is made solely to the Company's shareholders, as a body, in accordance with Section 235 of the Companies Act 1985. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Company's shareholders those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors' report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Company and the Company's shareholders as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.
 
RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF DIRECTORS AND AUDITORS
As described in the Statement of Directors’ Responsibilities the Company's directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
 
Our responsibility is to audit the financial statements in accordance with relevant legal and regulatory requirements and International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland).
 
We report to you our opinion as to whether the financial statements give a true and fair view and are properly prepared in accordance with the Companies Act 1985. We also report to you if, in our opinion, the Directors’ Report is not consistent with the financial statements, if the company has not kept proper accounting records, if we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit, or if information specified by law regarding directors' remuneration and transactions with the group is not disclosed.
 
We read the Director's Report and consider the implications for our report if we become aware of any apparent misstatements within it.
 
BASIS OF AUDIT OPINION
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland) issued by the Auditing Practices Board. An audit includes examination, on a test basis, of evidence relevant to the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. It also includes an assessment of the significant estimates and judgements made by the directors in the preparation of the financial statements, and of whether the accounting policies are appropriate to the group and company's circumstances, consistently applied and adequately disclosed.

We planned and performed our audit so as to obtain all the information and explanations which we considered necessary in order to provide us with sufficient evidence to give reasonable assurance that the financial statements are free from material misstatement, whether caused by fraud or other irregularity or error. In forming our opinion we also evaluated the overall adequacy of the presentation of information in the financial statements.
