VICON REPORTS THIRD QUARTER RESULTS
 
HAUPPAUGE, NY, August 09, 2007 - Vicon Industries, Inc. (Amex: VII), a leading designer and producer of video security and surveillance systems, today reported operating results for the third fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2007.   The announcement was made by Chairman and CEO Ken Darby, who said the quarter’s operating results reflect both revenue growth and gross margin improvement.

Net sales for the third fiscal quarter were $17.1 million, an increase of 17%, compared with $14.7 million in the third quarter of the prior fiscal year.  Net income totaled $1,035,000 ($.20 per diluted share), compared with net income of $37,000 ($.01 per diluted share) for the same period last fiscal year.

For the nine months, net sales were $51.9 million, an increase of 26%, compared with $41.2 million in the first nine months of the prior fiscal year.  Net income was $2,952,000  ($.60 per diluted share) compared with a net loss of $663,000 ($.15 per share) in the prior year nine-month period.

Commenting on the third quarter results, Mr. Darby said sales in the U.S. grew 6.3% to $8.8 million while foreign sales increased 30.4% to $8.3 million.  Foreign revenues have been strong all year, growing 30.6% year-to-date, while domestic sales have increased 22.3% on a year-to-date basis.  Mr. Darby said the United States Postal Service recently exercised its option to renew, for an additional two years, its exclusive video systems supplier contract with Vicon effective August 1, 2007.  Overall, orders for the June quarter were $16.0 million compared with $14.6 million in the year ago period.

Gross margins in the second quarter improved to 42.1% compared with 40.3% in the prior year quarter, principally as a result of higher margins on IP (internet protocol) networked video products, and the benefit of higher production to fixed overhead.  Operating expenses were $6.1 million, or 35.6% of net sales, compared with $5.9 million or 40% of net sales.  The increase was principally attributable to higher selling and product development costs.

After months of testing, ViconNet® Version 4 was released for shipment to customers beginning August 1st.  ViconNet Version 4 is a powerful software application that manages both enterprise scale digital and hybrid (analog and digital) video systems and also powers Vicon recorders, servers and network edge devices such as IP cameras.  Sales of ViconNet® based products totaled $5.2 million in the June quarter and $15.7 million in the year-to-date period.  Mr. Darby said in the fourth quarter the Company expects to begin shipments of a new line of Vicon engineered IP cameras called I onyx and a new line of cost effective digital video recorders called Kollector Lite.  “Kollector Lite will bring the power of enterprise level IP video to the price sensitive buyer”, said Mr. Darby.

With regard to the patent litigation, Mr. Darby said in June 2007, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (PTO) reaffirmed its Final Rejection of the six claims in the plaintiff’s patent asserted against Vicon.  This represents the third time the PTO has rejected such claims in the re-examination proceedings citing the prior art of Vicon and another defendant.  The plaintiff has appealed the examiner’s decision to the Patent Office Board of Patent Appeals and Interferences.  This is the plaintiff’s last appeal within the Patent Office.  “Once again, we were pleased to see the PTOs examiner’s view affirms our longstanding position that the plaintiff’s patent is invalid”, said Mr. Darby.

Vicon Industries, Inc. designs, manufactures, assembles and markets a wide range of video systems and system components used for security, surveillance, safety and communication purposes by a broad group of end users worldwide.
