FISCHER IMAGING PROVIDING ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

AT THE REQUEST OF SEC

DENVER, Colo., June 11, 2003 — Fischer Imaging Corporation (NASDAQ: FIMGE) announced today that as it continues its comprehensive analysis and restatement of prior years’ financial statements it has received notice of a formal order of investigation and a subpoena from the Securities and Exchange Commission to produce records related to those financial statements for the years 2000, 2001 and the first three quarters of 2002.

This request follows the voluntary disclosures that the company made to the SEC beginning in April of this year.  Those disclosures follow the previously announced formation of an independent board committee, assisted by the law firm of Hogan & Hartson, to review the facts and circumstances underlying the decision to restate financial results.  The company has since provided documents and other information related to its investigation to the SEC.  The company intends to continue its full cooperation with the SEC investigation.

As previously disclosed, the company is working diligently to file its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002, as soon as possible.   As soon as practical prior to that time, the company will release condensed, unaudited financial information for the years 2000, 2001 and 2002. The Form 10-K will include restated financial statements for 2000 and 2001.  The restatements for 2000 and 2001 and the first three quarters of 2002 are primarily related to revenue recognition timing issues as well as re-work and warranty inventory matters and related vendor receivables.
