eMagin Emphasizes Continued Growth At 2004 Annual Meeting

June 19, 2004 (PRLEAP.COM) Business News
Hopewell Junction, N.Y. — eMagin Corporation (AMEX:EMA), the leading developer of organic light emitting diode (OLED) microdisplay technology, held its Annual Meeting of Shareholders on Tuesday, June 15, at the American Stock Exchange.

At the meeting the company underscored that with its displays now appearing in more than twenty products, and with more products being developed, it is preparing to meet higher demand for its OLED-on-silicon microdisplays and microdisplay systems.

"We've made great strides over the last year as customers' products that were in development moved into manufacturing," noted Gary Jones, CEO and president, eMagin Corporation. "And with more people demanding mobile access to data, especially image-rich data, we anticipate even broader markets for our virtual imaging products in the coming years."

Mr. Jones also noted that he expects additional near-term announcements of products using eMagin displays. In addition, he reported that the joint development of very small, lower-resolution displays for digital cameras and camcorders undertaken with Rohm Corp. is still on schedule.

Summarizing the company's mission "to bring virtual imaging capability to the world in order to enhance human experience and to enable people to become more effective at whatever they do," Mr. Jones noted that the company's achievements in restructuring its debt, improving its supply chain and manufacturing, and developing new products all contributed to a successful 2003 and pointed to continued progress toward fulfilling its mission.

Shareholders approved all proposals presented at the meeting, which included the following matters:

Elected three Class C directors to serve three-year terms: Claude Charles, president of a private international consulting firm; Dr. Jack Goldman, retired senior vice-president for R&D and chief technical officer of the Xerox Corporation; and Dr. Jill Wittels, corporate vice president of business development for L-3 Communications


Approved 2004 Non-Employee Compensation Plan

Ratified Eisner LLP as the company's independent auditor

Forward-looking statements or additional information provided at the meeting included:

A $4.3 million cash balance at the end of May, which is not significantly less than the cash balance at the end of March, despite an increasing amount of cash that has been going into prepayments to build a growing supply line and efforts to grow a larger inventory of finished goods
