VICON REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER AND FISCAL YEAR 2013 RESULTS

HAUPPAUGE, NY, December 4, 2013 - Vicon Industries, Inc. (VII: NYSE-AMEX), a designer and producer of video security and surveillance systems, today reported operating results for the fourth fiscal quarter and year ended September 30, 2013. The announcement was made by Chairman and CEO Ken Darby, who said “a fourth quarter gain on the sale of our former headquarters property allowed the Company to break even for the year.”

For the fourth quarter, net sales were $10.0 million, a 23% decrease, compared with $13.1 million in the year ago period. Net income was $2.6 million ($.58 per share), which included a gain on the sale of property of $3.5 million ($.77 per diluted share), compared with a net loss of $321,000 ($.07 per share) for the same period last fiscal year.

For the 2013 fiscal year, net sales totaled $39.8 million, a 19.7% decrease, compared with $49.7 million for the prior fiscal year. Net income was $19,000, which included a gain on the sale of property of $3.5 million ($.78 per diluted share) and a deferred tax benefit of $543,000 ($.12 per diluted share), compared with a net loss of $1.4 million ($.31 per share) for the prior fiscal year.

Commenting on the fourth quarter results, Mr. Darby said North America (NA) sales were $7.5 million compared with $10.4 million a year ago. For the full 2013 fiscal year NA sales were $30.1 million compared with $38.9 million. Fewer major projects throughout the year, coupled with the effects of certain product technical issues, were principal factors for the NA sales decline. In Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) net sales for the fourth quarter were essentially flat at $2.6 million compared with $2.7 million for the prior year period. For the full year, EMEA sales were $9.8 million versus $10.8 million in the prior fiscal year.

During the fourth quarter, the Company closed on the sale of its former headquarters property, which resulted in a gain of $3.5 million. The gain effectively offset most of the operating loss for the year.

Gross margins for the fourth fiscal quarter were 40.0% compared with 38.8% in the year ago period. The improvement primarily reflects lower product costs. Full year gross margins declined to 38.0% versus 39.5%, principally due to the negative effect of fixed overhead to the lower sales volume.

From a Balance Sheet perspective, Mr. Darby said the Company remains healthy with $21.5 million in tangible net worth (equal to $4.78 per share), no interest bearing debt, working capital of $17.4 million and $8.4 million of cash and equivalents.
