The net loss for the quarter was ($462,328), or ($0.05) per basic and diluted common share, compared with net earnings of $213,596, or $0.02 per basic and diluted common share in the second quarter of fiscal 2003. Revenues for the first six months were $5,199,850, compared with $5,586,572 reported in the first six months of last year. The operating loss for the first six months of fiscal 2004 was ($125,639) compared with operating income of $398,542 in the comparable prior period.

Second Quarter Highlights included: payment of the high interest rate 1998 long-term debt and the related accrued and unpaid interest at maturity on July 30, 2004, and replacement of this debt with a $3.5 million working capital term loan, at Prime plus 2% (6.50%) payable in annual installments over three years, the successful pilot of LanVision's codingANYware at the Charleston Naval Hospital, and FORTUNE Small Business Magazine named LanVision as one of America's 100 fastest-growing small companies in America in its fourth annual ranking. Brian Patsy, LanVision's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "Our current quarter and first six months operations followed our traditional cyclical pattern, with a greater portion of our annual licensing revenues recorded in our later two quarters. The quarterly operating results reflect primarily a decline in high margin add-on software licensing revenues to existing customers and the delayed purchasing decisions on new customer sales, offset to some extent with increased application-hosting revenues, when compared to the prior comparable period. Because the size of deals and the timing of revenue recognition on software licensing significantly affects operating results, the comparability of operating results among fiscal quarters can be skewed. The current sales pipeline continues to contain significant new opportunities that we anticipate closing during the remainder of the fiscal year. Our ASPeN(SM) application service provider (ASP) based recurring revenues continue to grow as we expand our distribution and the direct sales of our application-hosting services such as codingANYware(TM). Based on our current projections for the second half of the fiscal year, we believe that net new software revenues from the current sales pipeline and ASP hosting services should increase. The anticipated increase in new software licensing and ASP hosting revenues combined with lower interest as a result refinancing our debt at a significantly more favorable rate should enable us to be profitable in the remaining two quarters." Regarding the current sales pipeline for the second half of the year, Mr. Patsy further commented, "We have a robust sales pipeline of direct and indirect opportunities that we anticipate will close in the second half of our fiscal year, including several large government sector codingANYware remote hosting opportunities. In addition, we will be rolling out an important new entry level document management solution for Emergency Departments (EDView(TM)) in September through a joint distribution arrangement with Iron Mountain Incorporated (NYSE:IRM). We anticipate piloting EDView at 2 or 3 mutual customer sites soon." Mr. Patsy continued, "As noted in our announcement of the retirement of our high interest rate debt, based on the anticipated prime rate and outstanding loan balance during the second half of the current fiscal year, the anticipated interest expense will be $109,600 compared with $955,800 in the second half of the prior fiscal year or a reduction in interest expense of $846,200, or approximately $0.09 per share, pre tax, for the second half of the current fiscal year. For the next fiscal year (2005), the annual interest expense is anticipated to be approximately $148,000 compared with $908,000 anticipated for the current fiscal-year (2004), or a reduction of approximately $760,000 in interest expense." Mr. Patsy Concluded, "We believe that we are on course to achieve improved operating results in the final six months of the current fiscal year."

About LanVision Systems LanVision is a healthcare information technology company focused on digitally streamlining healthcare by providing solutions that improve document-centric information flows while complementing and enhancing existing transaction-centric healthcare information systems. The Company's workflow and document management solutions bridge the gap between current, inefficient paper-based processes and transaction-based healthcare information systems by 1) electronically capturing document-centric information from disparate sources, 2) electronically directing that information through vital business processes, and 3) providing access to the information for authenticated users (such as physicians, nurses, administrative and financial personnel and payers) across the continuum of care. The company's workflow-based products and services offer unique solutions to specific healthcare business processes within the Medical Record life cycle and the revenue cycle, such as remote coding, abstracting and chart completion, remote physician order processing, pre-admission registration scanning, insurance verification, financial screening, secondary billing services, explanation of benefits processing and release of information processing.

These integrated systems allow providers and administrators to dramatically improve the availability of patient information while decreasing direct costs associated with document retrieval, work-in-process, chart completion, document retention and archiving. LanVision's systems can be provided on a subscription basis via remote hosting services or installed locally. LanVision provides ASPeN, ASP-based remote hosting services to The University Hospital, a member of The Health Alliance of Greater Cincinnati, M. D.
