Microvision Announces Second Quarter Operating and Financial Results

July 31, 2007 By JSMT Media

Microvision Announces Second Quarter Operating and Financial Results
7/31/2007 4:07:00 PM
Company Raises $34.1 Million; Signs Development Agreement With
Motorola

REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–July 31, 2007–Microvision, Inc.
(NASDAQ:MVIS), a global leader in light scanning technologies, today
reported operating and financial results for the second quarter of
2007.

“We achieved significant business, operating and financial
milestones in the second quarter that could have long-term impact for
the Company,” stated Alexander Tokman, Microvision President and CEO.
“First, our business development efforts during the second quarter
resulted in several new customer contracts including the joint
development agreement with Motorola and new development contracts for
aerospace and eyewear applications. Second, we developed and
successfully unveiled at the Society of Information Display (SID)
conference a new wide angle design PicoP display that better addresses
consumer needs. Third, we made good progress in solidifying several
key areas of our supply chain. Finally, we raised $34.1 million from
calling our publicly traded warrants.”

Second Quarter 2007 Operating Results

  • PicoP for Mobile Projection Applications. Announced subsequent
    to the end of the quarter an agreement with Motorola to
    develop pico projector display solutions for mobile
    applications using Microvision’s PicoP display engine.

  • PicoP for Eyeware Applications. Awarded a $3.2 million
    contract from the U.S. Air Force to provide a lightweight,
    see-through, full-color eyewear display prototype.

  • PicoP for Aerospace Applications. Signed a new commercial
    product development agreement with a leading transportation
    company to develop PicoP based display solution for an
    aerospace application.

  • PicoP Development and Supply Chain Progress.
    • Unveiled the next generation PicoP display based on a newly
      developed wide-angle MEMS scanner at the May 2007 SID
      conference. The wide-angle PicoP, developed based on direct
      customer feedback, creates a full-color image with
      approximately four times the viewing area of the Company’s
      previous display, while still maintaining its small and sleek
      form factor.

    • Completed and announced the successful integration of a
      green laser from OSRAM Opto Semiconductors into PicoP
      prototype display. Previously, Microvision had announced
      PicoP compatibility with green lasers from Corning and
      Novalux.

    • Formally introduced Oerlikon Optics as one of the high
      volume manufacturing partners for PicoP after originally
      announcing the joint development effort in December 2006.
      Microvision has been collaborating with this global leader in
      optical component solutions to optimize the design for
      manufacturing of Microvision’s opto-mechanical engine
      targeted for high volume consumer and automotive
      applications.

  • New Laser Bar Code Scanner. Unveiled ROV(TM), a new laser
    based bar code scanner incorporating Microvision’s core MEMS
    scanning beam technology. The ROV Scanner was developed for
    use with mobile applications to provide simple and affordable
    “point of scan” capability.

  • Funding. Exercised the company’s right to call its publicly
    traded warrants — raising $34.1 million to fund Microvision’s
    continuing operations without an increase to the company’s
    fully diluted common shares outstanding.

Financial Results

For the six months ended June 30, 2007, the company reported
revenue of $4.9 million compared to $4.4 million for the same period
in 2006 and $2.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007
compared to $1.9 million for the same period in 2006. As of June 30,
2007, the backlog totaled $7.7 million compared to $1.5 million at
June 30, 2006.

The company reported an operating loss for the six months ended
June 30, 2007 of $12.3 million compared to $14.4 million for the same
period in 2006 and $6.3 million for the three months ended June 30,
2007 compared to $7.8 million for the same period in 2006.

The company reported a net loss available to common shareholders
of $9.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to
$10.9 million for the same period in 2006 and $2.2 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $11.2 million for the
same period in 2006. The net loss per share was $0.21 for the six
months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $0.40 for the same period in
2006 and $0.05 for the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to
$0.38 for the same period in 2006. The net loss available for common
shareholders for both the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006
includes a gain on the sale of the company’s investment in Lumera of
$6.0 million and $7.3 million respectively. The three and six month
periods ended June 30, 2007 include non cash expenses of $1.9 million
and $2.6 million, respectively, compared to non cash gains of $1.2
million and $3.1 million for the same periods in 2006, respectively,
associated with the change in value of warrants issued to former
holders of the company’s notes.

The company ended the quarter with $17.2 million in cash, cash
equivalents and investment securities, including $6.0 million from the
conversion of 2.3 million public warrants. Subsequent to the end of
the quarter, the Company received an additional $28.1 million from the
conversion of an additional 10.6 million warrants.

“Our strong second quarter and first half business and operational
results demonstrate continued rapid advancement of the PicoP roadmap
focused on commercializing a variety of high volume products in the
consumer and automotive markets. We believe that the most recent
development agreement with Motorola provides a significant validation
point of our consumer go-to-market strategy and execution,” concluded
Tokman.
