Business Wire, August 15, 2005

HOPEWELL JUNCTION, N.Y. -- eMagin Corporation (AMEX:EMA), the leader in OLED virtual imaging technology, announced today financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2005. eMagin will host a conference call to discuss the financial results today at 9:00 a.m. EST.

Financial Summary:

--Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2005, of $0.7 million sequentially was unchanged from first quarter level. Revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 was $0.7 million and $1.3 million as compared to $1.4 million and $2.0 million for the same periods ended June 30, 2004.

--Net loss and loss per share applicable to common stock for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 was $4.5 million, or $0.05 per share and $8.0 million, or $0.10 per share as compared to a net loss of $1.4 million or $0.02 per share and $8.0 million, or $0.14 per share during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2004.

--Balance sheet showed $8.7 million in working capital at June 30, 2005 as compared to $14.9 million on December 31, 2004.

"I'm pleased to report that we are shipping our newest product, the Z800 3DVisor, to direct consumer customers as well as OEMs. We believe that this product represents a major breakthrough for the emerging virtual imaging industry," said Gary Jones, chief executive officer of eMagin.

Jones continued, "During the first half of fiscal year 2005 revenue growth has been delayed as we took steps to complete the Z800 3DVisor production readiness and to increase our microdisplay output capacity. Nevertheless, design and commercialization of our new personal display product represents a tremendous breakthrough which was achieved in record time. We took advantage of enthusiastic feedback from thousands of users at both CES and E3 to fine tune the product, and then implemented those modifications through our suppliers and completed final FCC testing before delivering our first products. Our second quarter expenses reflected increases as we invested in new display designs, the Z800 3DVisor product was launched, and higher cost of goods from our efforts to increase capacity were recorded. The quarter's loss was higher as a result.

"For 2005 our potential market is estimated to be approximately $100 million; it's projected to grow 80% in 2006 to $167 million and to over $1 billion annually by 2008. Our AMOLED microdisplay technology is ideally suited for the applications projected for eMagin to take a significant piece of this market growth. I am confident that the steps taken in the first half of the year will improve our probability of taking a leading role in the emerging market for near eye displays. I base this assertion on expectations provided by many of our OEM's who will likely lead this market as well as initial responses to the Z800 3DVisor. We continue to be the preferred display in most high resolution applications and expect that our planned new products will solidify this lead.

"We believe that the Z800 3DVisor is a critical component to our future. It allows both consumers and OEM's to experience the significant advantages inherent in OLED based technologies versus the traditional LCD based systems, at a consumer price point for the first time. Our recent OEM design wins validate this with components or subsystems from the Z800 3DVisor being called out. The Z800 3DVisor and related products are expected to contribute positively to our second half overall revenue growth as well. "

"Assuming display and manufacturing issues are as resolved as they currently appear, we should be in a position to begin shipping to our backlog by the end of this quarter."

Full results are available by referencing the Companies 10Q for period ended June 30, 2005 being filed today with the SEC.
