OPHTHALMIC IMAGING SYSTEMS REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2008 RESULTS

 

SACRAMENTO, May 15, 2008 – Ophthalmic Imaging Systems, a leading digital imaging company (OIS) (OTC BB: OISI) today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2008.

 

For the quarter ended March 31, 2008, OIS reported net revenues of $3.1 million, compared with net revenues of $4.1 million for the same period in 2007. The net operating loss for the first quarter of 2008 was $243,000, compared to a net operating income of $615,000 for the same period in 2007. The net operating loss for the quarter includes $187,000 in costs related to the company’s newly formed subsidiary, Abraxas Medical Solutions. Net loss for the first quarter of 2008 was $278,000, or $0.02 per basic and diluted share, compared with net income of $653,000, or $0.04 per basic and diluted share, in the first quarter of 2007.

 

As of March 31, 2008, the Company reported $9.8 million in total shareholders’ equity, compared to $8.8 million as of March 31, 2007.

 

Gil Allon, Chief Executive Officer of OIS, stated, “We continue to hold a dominant position in the digital imaging market for ophthalmology. While we believe our sales are down in this sector due to a weak economy and a lull in technological advancements, we anticipate sales to recover as several new products gain traction in the market, including the new OIS SymphonyTM Image Management system, and the highly anticipated launch of our first proprietary Integrated Imaging system later this year. In addition, we are looking to diversify our revenue stream from the digital imaging market through the formation of a new subsidiary Abraxas, which will compete in the burgeoning Electronic Medical Records (EMR) and Practice Management (PM) solutions market.

 

“In the fourth quarter, we plan to begin marketing Abraxas’ EMR and PM solutions to our established customer base in the ophthalmology market. We will then expand these marketing efforts to the OB/GYN, Orthopedic and Primary Care markets by the end of 2008 through our subsidiary Abraxas. We believe one of our future growth engines will be Abraxas’ ability to compete in the $5 billion ambulatory care EMR and PM market.

 

“The consolidated net loss for the quarter includes costs associated with the operation of our new subsidiary, Abraxas Medical Solutions. We plan to invest $2 million into Abraxas throughout

2008, in order to further develop its proprietary EMR and PM solutions. We believe this investment will result in a consolidated loss for the year ending December 31, 2008,” concluded Allon.
