CUSTOM SOFT LENS SALES INCREASE 43.9% FROM PRIOR-YEAR QUARTER

LARGO, Florida (November 14, 2011) – Unilens Vision Inc. (OTC Markets Group OTCQB: UVIC; TSX Venture Exchange: UVI), which develops, licenses, manufactures, distributes and markets specialty contact lenses, today reported its operating results for the first quarter of FY2012.

First Quarter Highlights:

·

Sales and total revenue increase 3.1% and 0.8%, respectively

·

Custom soft lens sales rise 43.9% vs. prior-year period

·

Operating expenses increase less than 2%

·

Earnings per diluted share of $0.14 vs. $0.14 in year-earlier quarter

·

20^th consecutive quarterly dividend paid at annual rate of $0.18 per share

For the three months ended September 30, 2011, total revenue including royalty income increased 0.8% to $2,207,730, compared with $2,189,780 in the first quarter of FY2011. Sales of the Company’s specialty contact lenses increased 3.1% to $1,576,530 in the first quarter of FY2012, versus $1,529,574 in the year-earlier quarter. The sales increase was primarily attributable to an improvement of 43.9% in sales of the Company’s custom soft lenses when compared with the first quarter of FY2011. The Company continues to benefit from growing demand for its new C-VUE Advanced^® HydraVUE™ line of silicone hydrogel custom contact lenses for monthly replacement that was launched in January 2011.  Sales in the Company’s disposable lens category decreased 7.9%, as demand for C-Vue disposable multifocal lenses was affected by soft economic conditions in the U.S. and increased competition from competitors’ product offerings and promotional programs.  The replacement and other lens category experienced an 8.5% increase in sales, primarily due to higher sales of Unilens replacement products following the discontinuation of replacement lens products by several of the Company’s competitors.  Sales in the gas permeable lens category decreased by 12.2% due to the continued overall decline in gas permeable fits in the contact lens industry.  

Royalty income from Bausch & Lomb decreased 4.4% to $631,200 in the most recent quarter, compared with $660,206 in the quarter ended June 30, 2010.   

Gross profit margins narrowed slightly to 41.0% of sales in the most recent quarter, versus 41.3% in the three months ended September 30, 2010, due primarily to sales mix changes and the maturation of the C-VUE Advanced Toric Multifocal free trial program.  

Pretax income declined 2.4% to $482,436 in the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared with $494,164 in the prior-year period.  The Company reported a 2.5% decrease in net income, which totaled $323,454 for the first quarter of FY2012, versus $331,849 in the corresponding period of the previous fiscal year.  Diluted earnings per share were unchanged at $0.14 in the first quarters of both FY2012 and FY2011.

“We are very pleased with the market’s enthusiastic response to our new C-VUE Advanced^® HydraVUE™ line of completely customizable silicone hydrogel contact lenses for monthly replacement,” noted Michael Pecora, Chief Executive Officer of Unilens Vision Inc. “This was evident in a 43.9% increase in sales of our custom lens products during the first quarter of Fiscal 2012.  We continue to believe that demographic trends driven by rapid growth in America’s ‘baby-boom’ generation will support a vibrant market for custom lenses including soft multifocal lenses that address the challenges of presbyopia – a condition wherein the lens of the eye begins losing elasticity, thereby impairing near vision in many people once they pass the age of 40.  Our research and development activities are directed towards additional products and licensing opportunities that can address this large market opportunity.”

“Financially, we are well-positioned to take advantage of new growth initiatives.  Net cash provided by operating activities increased 57% in the most recent quarter to $718,324, compared with $456,309 in the prior-year period, and we ended the quarter with a current ratio of 1.6-to-1.0 and available working capital of approximately $1.2 million.  After the payment of our 20^th consecutive quarterly cash dividend and principal payments on our outstanding debt, the amount of cash and equivalents on our balance sheet increased 16% during the first quarter to $698,584,” concluded Pecora.

The Company recently declared its 21^st consecutive quarterly cash dividend in the amount of $0.045 per share of common stock outstanding.  The amount and frequency of future dividends will depend upon earnings, cash flow, and other aspects of the Company’s business as determined and declared by the Board of Directors.
