May 11, 2006 By JSMT Media

Microvision Reports First Quarter 2006 Financial Results
5/11/2006 6:30:00 AM
REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–May 11, 2006–Microvision, Inc.
(Nasdaq:MVIS), a leader in light scanning technologies, today
announced consolidated financial results for the first quarter of
2006. Revenues for the first quarter of 2006 were $2.5 million, down
38% from $4.0 million reported for the first quarter of the prior
year. Revenues were lower due to lower contract revenue resulted from
the completion of several contract development efforts in 2005 The
operating loss for the first quarter increased 20% to $6.7 million
compared to $5.5 million in the first quarter of 2005, however the
2006 number included $493,000 in severance costs relating to the
company’s restructuring plan and $416,000 of non-cash compensation
expense associated with the company’s adoption of FASB 123(R), Share
Based Payment, on January 1, 2006. The company reported net income
available for common shareholders of $331,000, or $.01 per share,
compared to a net loss available for common shareholders of $7.2
million, or ($.33) per share for the first quarter of 2005. Income in
the first quarter of 2006 includes a $7.3 million gain on investments
from the sale of 2.55 million shares of the company’s holdings in
Lumera Corporation.

The company ended the quarter with $7.0 million in cash. At March
31, 2006 the company had a backlog of $1.4 million which was comprised
of $1.3 million related to development contracts and $92,000 related
to product sales.

Highlights

— Record quarter for unit shipments of the Flic bar code
scanner; first quarter shipments of 9,300 units equaled almost
half of the total volume shipped for the full year of 2005;

— Improved cash position by raising $10.3 million through the
sale of 2.55 million shares of its Lumera Corporation common
stock that resulted in a $7.3 million gain being recognized in
income for the first quarter;

— Completed an organizational restructuring and realignment as
part of its 2006 turnaround;

— Completed the transformation of the management team and began
the reconstitution of its Board of Directors;

— Defined and began executing a new financing strategy
consistent with its new operating strategy; and

— Made demonstrable progress in defining the development of
requirements for the Integrated Photonics Module (“IPM”) – an
embedded engine to fuel high volume display and imaging
applications.

“Our first quarter efforts have been focused on implementing
several key organizational initiatives aimed at beginning to turn
around the company and position it for long term, sustainable growth,”
said Alexander Tokman, Microvision President and CEO. “We’ve completed
an organizational realignment consistent with the new business
strategy and added new talent to lead the critical business functions.
We’ve also implemented a new reward and recognition system for
employees aimed at promoting professional excellence.

“Despite a relatively short time period for implementing changes,
we are already seeing important signs of turnaround, specifically
relating to growth of product sales. Flic had a record first quarter
for unit shipments equaling nearly half of the total volume shipped
for the entire year of 2005, positioning the product for what we
believe will be a strong year. Growing our contract revenue funnel is
of top priority and we continue to work towards the goal of signing a
strategic Tier 1 and OEM partners for the development and
commercialization of automotive head-up display and embedded personal
projection display products.”
