Vimicro Reports Fourth Quarter 2006, Fiscal Year 2006 and First Quarter 2007

Financial Results

BEIJING – July 12, 2007 – Vimicro International Corporation (NASDAQ: VIMC), a leading fabless semiconductor company that designs and develops multimedia semiconductor products and solutions, today announced its financial results for the fourth quarter of 2006, fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 and the first quarter of 2007 ended March 31, 2007.

Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2006 (Unaudited)

Net revenue in the fourth quarter of 2006 was $34.2 million as compared to $33.1 million reported in the third quarter of 2006 and $27.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2005.

Fourth quarter 2006 net income prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) was $1.6 million, compared with net income of $2.5 million in the third quarter of 2006 and net income of $5.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2005.

Non-GAAP diluted net earnings per ADS for the fourth quarter of 2006 were $0.08 compared with $0.09 in the third quarter of 2006 and $0.18 in the fourth quarter of 2005.

Fiscal year 2006 net income prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP was $9.7 million, compared with a net income of $16.4 million in fiscal year 2005. Non-GAAP net income for fiscal year 2006 was $13.2 million, which excludes $3.5 million for the amortization of stock-based compensation expenses, as compared to non-GAAP net income of $18.1 million in 2005, which excludes $1.7 million for the amortization of stock-based compensation expenses.

Non-GAAP loss per ADS for the first quarter of 2007 was ($0.07) compared with earnings per ADS $0.12 in the first quarter of 2006.

Business Outlook

“There is no doubt that Vimicro has experienced its share of challenges over the past quarter. Our first quarter results were impacted by a number of factors including a longer than expected delay in the release of Microsoft’s Vista Operating System, the seasonality resulting from an overall business slowdown associated with the Chinese New Year Holiday as well as pricing pressure within some of our product lines,” said Dr. John Deng, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Vimicro.

Deng continued, “In order to improve our competitive position and gain further market share, we have taken a number of key steps including a more focused sales strategy at the high-end of the market, as well as new R&D initiatives. Additionally, we have introduced several cost-down versions of our major product lines with lower power consumption to the market to further improve our competitive position. Furthermore, we have increased our sales efforts and FAE support in Taiwan, which will allow us to provide additional on-time support to key PC and notebook OEMs and ODMs. On the mobile front, Vimicro’s focus on the 3G multimedia market and our strategic partnerships with key TD-SCMDA players in China will provide unique sources of growth opportunities. As a result, we achieved significant top line growth for the second quarter of 2007 and remain positive in our outlook for the remainder of the year.”

Statements that are not historical facts, including statements about Vimicro’s beliefs and expectations, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties. A number of factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward- looking statement, including but not limited to the following: our limited history of achieving net profit; our growth strategies; our future business development, results of operations and financial condition; our ability to develop and sell mobile multimedia processors that meet changing consumer preferences and industry standards; decrease in the demand for our notebook and PC camera multimedia processors and third-party image sensors which we bundle with some of our PC camera multimedia processors; our ability to secure sufficient foundry capacity in a timely manner; our ability to maintain existing customers and attract new customers; and the expected growth of the mobile multimedia processor market. Further information regarding these and other risks is included in our annual report on Form 20-F filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Vimicro does not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement, except as required under applicable law.

Non-GAAP Measures

To supplement the consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, Vimicro uses non-GAAP measures of non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted net earnings per ADS, which are adjusted from the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP to exclude amortization of share-based compensation expenses. These non-GAAP financial measures are provided to enhance investors’ overall understanding of the company’s financial performance as they exclude share-based expenses that are not expected to result in future cash payments. The non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP results. A limitation of using these non-GAAP financial measures is that these non-GAAP measures exclude share-based compensation charges that have been and will continue to be significant recurring expenses in our business for the foreseeable future. We compensate for these limitations by providing the relevant disclosure of our share-based compensation charges in our reconciliations to the GAAP measures. For more information on the non-GAAP financial measures, please see the tables captioned “Reconciliation of non-GAAP results of operations measures to the nearest comparable GAAP measures” set forth at the end of this release.

Vimicro believes that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP measures in assessing the performance of Vimicro’s liquidity and when planning and forecasting future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate management’s internal comparisons to Vimicro’s historical liquidity. Vimicro computes its non-GAAP financial measures using the same consistent method from quarter to quarter. The accompanying tables have more details on the GAAP financial measures that are most comparable to non-GAAP financial measures and the related reconciliations between financial measures.
