OPHTHALMIC IMAGING SYSTEMS REPORTS THIRD QUARTER 2007 RESULTS

- - -

Company Reports 24th Consecutive Profitable Quarter

SACRAMENTO, Calif., November 14, 2007 – Ophthalmic Imaging Systems (OIS) (OTC BB: OISI) today reported financial results for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, OIS reported net revenues of $10.9 million compared with net revenues of $11.4 million for the same period last year. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was $1.5 million, or $0.09 and $0.08 earnings per basic and diluted share, respectively, compared with net income of $1.6 million, or $0.10 and $0.09 earnings per basic and diluted share, respectively, for the prior year period. Potential sales and net income growth during the first nine months of 2007 were offset by two large contracts in the second and third quarters of 2006.

For the three months ended September 30, 2007, OIS reported net revenues of $3.2 million, compared with net revenues of $3.9 million for the same period in 2006. Net income for the third quarter of 2007 was $0.3 million, or $0.02 earnings per basic and diluted share, compared with net income of $0.6 million, or $0.04 and $0.03 earnings per basic and diluted share, respectively, for the third quarter of 2006. As discussed above, results for the three months ended September 30, 2006 reflect a large contract that offset potential growth for the same period in 2007.

As of September 30, 2007, the Company reported $9.8 million in total shareholder equity, compared to $8.2 million as of December 31, 2006.

Gil Allon, Chief Executive Officer of OIS, stated, “Our digital imaging equipment business remains steady, while we also continue to experience greater demand for our informatics and Picture Archiving and Communications Systems (“PACS”). Moving forward, we have made it our primary focus to build on our current offerings. This week we launched three new informatics products at the American Academy of Ophthalmology’s 111th Annual Meeting in New Orleans, including OIS Symphony™, our PACS solution for Ophthalmology.”

Press Release
November 14, 2007

 

“In addition, we are taking steps to solidify OIS as a global brand in the ophthalmology industry. During the quarter we announced a non-binding agreement to acquire our majority shareholder, MediVision Medical Imaging. This agreement will give us greater control over our research and development capabilities, and sales and distribution in Europe, while also simplifying our capital structure. Beyond the MediVision acquisition, we are also looking to make other acquisitions that will allow us to broaden our portfolio of offerings and increase shareholder equity.”

The acquisition of MediVision is pending a definitive agreement, which will require approval from the board of directors and shareholders of both companies.

In addition, OIS recently strengthened its Board of Directors during the quarter with the appointment of two independent members: Jonathan R. Phillips and William D. Greer, CPA. Messrs. Phillips and Greer replaced Michael Benoff and Merle Symes on the Company’s Board of Directors.
