CHYRON REPORTS SECOND QUARTER AND FIRST HALF 2005 RESULTS

MELVILLE, N.Y. - August 12, 2005 - Chyron Corporation (OTCBB: CYRO) today announced that for its second quarter, during which its new microcasting and digital displays product, ChyTV, was launched, the Company generated revenues of $5.8 million and incurred a net loss of $0.2 million. For the first half of 2005 the Company generated revenues of $11.8 million and incurred a net loss of $0.4 million. Expenses associated with the Company's new microcasting and digital displays product, ChyTV, accounted for the losses, with the remainder of the Company's business generating positive results.

Revenues for the second quarter were $5.8 million, an increase of $0.9 million or 18 percent over the $4.9 million reported for the same quarter last year. The revenues included approximately $0.1 million in sales from the new ChyTV product, which debuted in March at the NSCA Show in Orlando and in April at the Las Vegas annual meeting of the National Association of Broadcasters, where it met with considerable enthusiasm and won a prestigious "Pick Hit" of the Show award from Video Systems Magazine. Revenues of $11.8 million for the first six months were $1.2 million or 11 percent higher than the $10.6 million reported for the first six months of 2004.

CEO and President Michael Wellesley-Wesley commented, "The year over year increase in second quarter revenues of 18 percent and the 300 basis point gross margin pickup that we experienced in the quarter are encouraging signs for future growth. Both of these key measures should continue to improve in the second half of the year as ChyTV products begin to gain market acceptance and we gain broadcast graphics market share."

The $0.2 million net loss for the second quarter represented an improvement compared to a net loss of $0.4 million for the second quarter of 2004. The $0.4 million net loss for the first six months was larger than the $0.1 million net loss for the comparable 2004 period, and included a net loss from the new microcasting and digital displays business of $0.5 million.

Gross margins for this year's second quarter were 65 percent compared to 62 percent in last year's comparable quarter, and for the first six months were 62 percent compared to 61 percent for the same period in 2004. The gross margin increases were primarily due to differences in product mix, with newer products providing higher average gross margins in 2005 and lower overhead.

Operating expenses of $3.9 million for the second quarter of 2005 were $0.5 million higher than the second quarter of 2004, primarily due to expenditures of $0.3 million related to the microcasting and digital displays business, and consulting fees for Sarbanes-Oxley compliance and new systems implementation of $0.1 million. Operating expenses of $7.6 million for the first half of 2005 were $0.9 million higher than the first half of 2004, primarily due to expenditures of $0.6 million related to the microcasting and digital displays business, $0.1 million in consulting fees for Sarbanes-Oxley compliance and new systems implementation, and $0.2 million higher employee benefits costs.

At June 30, 2005 the Company had cash on hand of $0.7 million and working capital of $2.2 million. For the second quarter of 2005 net cash of $1.1 million was used by operations, including $0.7 million from changes in operating assets and liabilities. Net cash of $0.3 million was provided by investing activities, including receipt of $0.4 million as the final payment from the Company's sale of its Pro-Bel business in late 2003.

While the Company had been in compliance with its bank covenants since the April 2004 inception of its line of credit with its bank through June 30, 2005, at July 31, 2005 the Company fell short of its tangible net worth covenant requirement of $2 million by approximately $0.1 million. The Company's bank has granted a covenant waiver and lowered the covenant's tangible net worth requirements for the remainder of 2005. Details will be provided in the Company's quarterly filing on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2005. The Company has had no borrowings under the line of credit from its inception through the present time, but the bank's granting of the waiver and revision of the covenant will allow the Company to borrow if needed.
