Advanced Vision Technology Ltd. 3 Months Report 2015 January 1st - March 31st
Dear Shareholder, In the first quarter of 2015, total order bookings were $12.9 million, compared with $13.1 million in the same period last year. Total revenues for the first quarter amounted to $13 million, compared with $13.4 million in the same period last year. Both order bookings and revenues for the first quarter of 2015 were slightly less than we expected primarily due to the exchange rate effects of the Euro against the US Dollar. The company presented strong order booking performance in EMEA and Asia Pacific, and a slower first quarter performance in the Americas. Solid order bookings of our packaging products and growth in order booking received from OEM partners supported the first quarter performance. GAAP operating income in the first quarter of 2014 was $1.39 million, compared with $1.37 million in the same period last year. During the first quarter, we introduced a new offline proofing product line, based on our alliance with Global Vision, a Canada based company, as well as sold the first SolidProof system from the same product line. In the first quarter, AVT continued to enhance its digital market presence. We showcased the Helios & Apollo systems with the Zeroset workflow module installed on HP Indigo presses at the Dscoop (HP User Group) event in Washington DC. In the first quarter, we also saw nice growth in the Metal market business, with some key new deals and installations of our Titan solution in Europe and Asia Pacific. As mentioned, results of our first quarter of 2015 were slightly less than we expected. But at the same time we see a good business atmosphere in most of the relevant geographies we are active in and a good pipeline for the balance of the year. At this point the main drawback we see is the Euro/USD exchange rate that will continue to have an adverse effect on our results if it stays at the current rate. Sincerely, Jaron Lotan, President & Chief Executive Officer AVT 2

Revenues Revenues are derived primarily from the sale of our systems. Additional revenues are generated through the sale of support services, training and software updates to customers. Revenues in the first three months of 2015 totaled $13.0 million, compared with $13.4 million generated in first three months of 2014, and similar to Q4 2014 (lower by 0.6%). The decrease in total revenues compared with Q1 2014 is due mainly to unfavorable impact of the Euro exchange rate relative to the US Dollar of approximately $0.9 million, when compared to foreign currency exchange rates last year. During the first three months of 2015 order booking totaled $12.9 million compared with Q1 2014 order booking of $13.1 million and compared with Q4 2014 order booking of $12.3 million. The ratio of order booking to revenues in the first three months of 2015 was 99.7%. The order booking results in Q1 2015 reflect a negative impact of a stronger U.S. dollar in the amount of approximately $1.0 million when compared to foreign currency exchange rates of Q1 2014. As of March 31, 2015 order back-log totaled $17.1 million representing a decrease of 8.6% compared with the back-log balance at March 31, 2014 and a decrease of 1.7% from Q4 2014 We estimate that out of this back-log, 50%-65% will become revenue during Q2 2015, while the remainder will become revenue over the following three quarters. The following chart sets forth breakdown of revenues by territory for each of the three month periods ended March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014: During the first three months of 2015 EMEA (Europe, Middle East & Africa) contributed 44% of total revenues compared with 40% in the first three months of 2014, while the Americas contributed 37% of total revenues compared with 44% in the first three months of 2014. Revenues generated in the Asia-Pacific contributed 19% of total revenues compared with 16% in the first three months of 2014. 5
Cost of Revenues / Gross Profit Cost of revenues includes materials, labor, manufacturing overhead and an estimation of costs associated with installation, warranty and training. We generally provide a one-year warranty to the end-user. A provision, based on our experience and engineering estimates, is recorded to cover probable costs in connection with such warranty, for the 12 month period commencing at the end of installation. Gross margin in the first quarter of 2015 was 53.1% compared with 50.4% in Q1 2014. Proforma gross margin in the first quarter of 2015 (excluding the impact of non-cash amortization of acquired intangible assets and stock-based compensation expense) was 53.2% compared with proforma gross margin of 50.9% in Q1 2014. The increase in gross margin in the first quarter of 2015 is due to the final royalties payments to the Chief Scientist in Israel made in Q1 2014 which did not repeat in Q1 2015, partially offset by negative impact of the Euro exchange rate relative to the US Dollar. The following table sets forth selected consolidated expenditures data for each of the five quarters ended 31.3.2015, 31.12.2014, 30.9.2014, 30.6.2014 and 31.3.2014 expressed as a percentage of total revenues: Research and Development During the first three months 2015, research and development expenses were $1,920 thousand, compared with $1,796 thousand in Q1 2014 and same as in Q4 2014. Proforma research and development costs in the first three months of 2015 (excluding stock based compensation expense) increased to $1,905 thousand, compared with $1,784 thousand in Q1 2014 and $1,908 thousand in Q4 2014 The increase in research and development expenses compared with same quarter last year is due primarily to increase in personnel cost partially offset by favorable impact of the Israeli Shekel exchange rate relative to the US Dollar. 6
Selling and Marketing During the first three months of 2015 selling and marketing expenses were $2,348 thousand, compared with $2,312 thousand in the respective period of 2014 and compared with $2,221 thousand in Q4 2014. Proforma selling and marketing expenses during the first three months of 2015 (excluding amortization of acquired intangible assets and stock based compensation expense) were $2,323 thousand, compared with $2,282 thousand in Q1 2014 and $2,190 thousand in Q4 2014. The increase in selling and marketing expenses compared with same quarter last year is attributable primarily to increased marketing activities and an increase in personnel cost offset by favorable impact of the Israeli Shekel exchange rate relative to the US Dollar. General and Administrative During the first three months of 2015 general and administrative expenses were $1,235 thousand, compared with $1,274 thousand in Q1 2014 and $1,174 thousand in Q4 2014. Proforma general and administrative expenses in the first three months of 2015 (excluding stock based compensation expense) were $1,197 thousand, compared with $1,241 thousand in Q1 2014 and $1,155 thousand in Q4 2014. The slight decrease compared with same quarter last year is mainly attributable to the impact of the Israeli Shekel depreciation relative to the US Dollar. Stock-Based Compensation Based on ASC 718 we record commencing January 1, 2006, share-based payments as expenses based on their fair value at the grant date. The compensation is recorded over the requisite service period. The measurement of the benefit is based on the Monte Carlo simulation. Total stock-based compensation expense recorded during the first three months of 2015 was $75 thousand compared with $65 thousand in the first three months of 2014 and $46 thousand in Q4 2014. Operating and Net Income Net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 was $866 thousand or $0.14 per share (diluted) compared with net income of $944 thousand or $0.16 per share (diluted) for Q1 2014. Proforma net income for Q1 2014 (excluding amortization of acquired intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense and taxes due to dividend payment), was $953 thousand compared with proforma net income of $1,089 thousand in Q1 2014. Proforma operating income during the first three months of 2015 (excluding all expense items cited above) was $1,473 thousand compared with proforma operating income of $1,512 thousand in Q1 2014 and proforma operating income of $1,480 thousand in Q4 2014. The similar level in proforma operating income in the first three months of 2015 as compared with the first three months of 2014 was achieved due to better gross profit offset by slightly higher operating expenses in Q1 2015. Consolidated operating expenses were 42.4% of revenues in Q1 2015 compared with 40.2% in Q1 2014 Consolidated Proforma operating margin was 11.4% of revenues in Q1 2015 compared with 11.3% in both Q1 2014 and Q4 2014. Proforma EBITDA in Q1 2015 (excluding stock-based compensation expense) was $1,573 thousand as compared with income of $1,606 thousand in Q1 2014 and income of $1,576 thousand in Q4 2014. 7
Financial Income (Expense), net Financial income is comprised of interest income incurred on time deposits less bank fees and exchange rate differences Net financial expense during the first three months of 2015 was $198 thousand compared with net financial expense of $15 thousand in Q1 2014 and net financial income of $6 thousand in Q4 2014. Financial income for the first quarter of 2015 was $20 thousand compared to $32 thousand in Q1 2014 and $24 thousand in Q4 14. An additional net expense of $218 thousand was generated from exchange rate differences and bank charges, compared with $47 thousand in Q1 2014 and $18 thousand in Q4 2014. Taxes We operate within multiple taxing jurisdictions and are subject to audit in those jurisdictions. In our opinion, an adequate asset and provision for income taxes has been made in the financial statements. This asset and provision takes into consideration potential tax liability in Israel and other jurisdictions. On August 5, 2013, the "Knesset" issued the Law for Changing National Priorities (Legislative Amendments for Achieving Budget Targets for 2013 and 2014), 2013 which amended the Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments ("the Amendment"). According to the Amendment, the tax rate on preferred income form a preferred enterprise in 2014 and thereafter will be 16% (in development area A - 9%). The Amendment also prescribes that any dividends distributed to individuals or foreign residents from the preferred enterprise's earnings as above will be subject to tax at a rate of 20%. Liquidity and Capital Resources As of March 31, 2015 our total current assets were $45.2 million, including a total cash and financial investment balance of $26.5 million compared with cash and financial investments of $26.2 million as of December 31, 2014. During the first three months of 2015, $417 thousand were provided by operating activities compared with $2,720 thousand provided in operating activities during Q1 2014. We focus on managing our working capital, particularly in maintaining the relative low level of accounts receivable Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) and inventories. DSO in accounts receivable at the end of Q1 2015 were 62 days compared with 50 days at the end of Q1 2014 and 55 days as of December 31, 2014. Our net capital expenditures on fixed assets were approximately $177 thousand in the first three months of 2015, compared with $80 thousand in the respective period of 2014. Effective October, 2014, the District Court in Tel Aviv, Israel, approved the company's request to allow the reduction of its capital by up to US$12 million, after the Israeli Tax Authority informed the District Court that it does not object to the ruling. Therefore, per applicable Israeli law, the board of directors of the company may opt to declare dividends and/or adopt a share buy-back program, which will consume up to an aggregate of US$12 million of the company's capital. On March 18, 2015, the board of directors resolved to distribute an extra-ordinary gross dividend of $1.0 per share which was paid on April 2, 2015, in the total amount of $6.1 million. 8

Management s Responsibility for the Financial Information Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the condensed financial information in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles; this responsibility includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control sufficient to provide a reasonable basis for the preparation and fair presentation of interim financial information in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Auditors' Responsibility Our responsibility is to conduct our review in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States applicable to reviews of interim financial information. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial information. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. Conclusion Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the condensed consolidated financial information referred to above for it to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Report on Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2014 and for the year then ended We have previously audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States, the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2014, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders equity, and cash flows for the year then ended; and we expressed an unmodified audit opinion on those audited consolidated financial statements in our report dated March 18, 2015. In our opinion, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company as of December 31, 2014, and for the year then ended are consistent, in all material respects, with the consolidated financial statements from which they have been derived.
