BELLEVUE, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--eMagin Corporation (OTC:EMAN), the leader in OLED microdisplay and personal imaging technologies, reported selected preliminary results today for its fourth quarter and full year 2007. Each of the results reported are preliminary and subject to completion of the company’s yearend independent audit of our financial statements covering the periods referenced.
 
eMagin expects to report revenues for the fourth quarter of 2007 of approximately $4.7 million, an increase of approximately 81% compared to the same period the prior year. Full year revenues are expected to be $17.6 million, approximately 115% greater than those reported in 2006.
 
Improvement of gross margin as a percent of revenues for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 is expected to remain strong despite a non-recurring production issue during the quarter ended December 31, 2007 that resulted in an inventory expense of approximately $0.4 million and a warranty return reserve of approximately $0.6 million. Full year gross margin for 2007 is expected to be approximately 29%, a significant improvement over the 39% loss margin recorded for 2006.
