VICON REPORTS FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR THE

SECOND QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 2015

HAUPPAUGE, N.Y. - May 11, 2015 - Vicon Industries, Inc. (NYSE MKT: VII), a global producer of video management systems, today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended March 31, 2015.

Eric Fullerton, Vicon’s CEO said, “The Company has completed its second combined fiscal quarter since its merger with IQinVision on August 29, 2014. The Company’s financial results for the quarter were in line with its restructuring plan expectations for this historically slow seasonal period. Although revenues were up slightly compared with its first fiscal quarter, the Company posted a marked improvement in its order rate in the quarter. Business rebuilding and cost restructuring efforts are starting to gain traction and should ultimately translate to measurably improved results in upcoming periods.”

“Revenues outside of IQinVision assimilated business showed a significant improvement across both the Americas and EMEA market segments on the strength of product line enhancements and restructured company branding efforts. Although IQinVision branded camera business levels remained disappointing, channel rebuilding efforts are underway and are expected to be a sizable contributor to Company revenue growth. Vicon management continues to rebuild relationships in its key sales channels, realign its product offerings to shore up its base business and focus on growing market segments. As expected, second quarter results were impacted by certain restructuring charges that will impact the Company through the remainder of fiscal year 2015. The Company will continue to seek cost savings opportunities to help it better align its operating cost structure with near term business expectations.”

Mr. Fullerton concluded, “I’m pleased with the Company’s restructuring efforts achieved thus far and believe we are now in a much better position to execute on our longer term strategic vision. We appreciate the patience of our shareholders who supported this merger while we continue to rebuild for our future.”
