BRIDGE, JR. CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER (513) 794-7100 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - --------------------- LANVISION SYSTEMS REPORTS SECOND QUARTER FISCAL 2003 RESULTS Cincinnati, Ohio, September 8, 2003 --- LanVision Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: LANV) today announced the financial results for the second quarter and first six months ended July 31, 2003. Revenues for the second quarter were $2,966,590 compared with $3,272,188 reported in the second quarter of last year. The operating income for the second quarter of fiscal 2003 was $646,559, compared with operating income of $649,994 in the second quarter of fiscal 2002. Net earnings for the quarter were $213,596, or $0.02 per basic and diluted common share, compared with net earnings of $201,632, or $0.02 per basic and diluted common share in the second quarter of fiscal 2002. Revenues for the first six months were $5,586,572, compared with $6,305,407 reported in the first six months of last year. The operating income for the first six months of fiscal 2003 was $398,542 compared with operating income of $1,181,346 in the comparable prior period. The Net Loss for the first six months was ($462,196), or ($0.05) per basic and diluted common share, compared with net earnings of $299,901, or $0.03 per basic and diluted common share in the first six months of last year. Second Quarter Highlights include: - Announced the new strategic relationships with: Health InfoSite, Inc. and Kforce(R) Inc., both of which provide medical coding services using LanVision's codingANYware(TM), our integrated coding and abstract workflow solution; - Announceda referral marketing agreement with United Audit Systems, Inc., a national health care consulting and outsourcing firm providing Health Information Management and patient financial services; - Announced that two valued customers, Memorial Sloane-Kettering Cancer Center and the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, upgraded and expanded their systems to 3

LanVision's newest generation product accessANYware(TM), our web-based thin client medical records workflow solution and health information repository; - LanVision continued to pay down the long term debt amounting to $2,000,000 during the last 12 months and believes that it will be able to comply with all of the loan covenants through the loan maturity date, and - Favorably settled three outstanding litigation issues relating to lawsuits that were initiated by LanVision to protect its intellectual property rights, to enforce non-competition covenants and/or to prevent third parties from improperly interfering in LanVision's businesses. Accordingly, we anticipate our legal expenses will be reduced during the remainder of the fiscal year. Brian Patsy, LanVision's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "Our current quarter net earnings was in line with our operating plan. The operating results reflect primarily a decline in net new software licensing revenues due to delayed purchasing decisions, offset to some extent with increased application-hosting revenues, when compared to the prior comparable periods. Because the size of deals and timing of revenue recognition on high margin software licensing significantly affects operating results, the comparability of operating results among fiscal quarters can be skewed. Traditionally, the first two quarters are the most challenging because of the seasonality of software licensing revenues, which LanVision has experienced in the past, with a greater portion of the annual revenues recorded in the later two quarters. The current sales pipeline contains 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 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 and enable us to continue to be profitable for the remainder of the fiscal year." Mr. Patsy concluded, "The U. S. Department of Health and Human Services (HSS) has asked the Institute of Medicine to design a standardized model of an electronic health record, in a move that may help accelerate nationwide acceptance of Electronic Medical Records. The tentative date for the completed design is 2004. The impact of such change, if implemented by HSS, on current LanVision products and services is unknown at this time. However, LanVision believes that its software and systems are sufficiently flexible to accommodate quickly any changing regulatory requirements. The changing healthcare regulations and increasing demand for health care productivity improvements, coupled with our expanding distribution channels and product offerings, create significant market opportunities for LanVision. We will continue to invest in the people and technology to ensure that all our products and services lead the market and to meet the growing expectations of the healthcare community."
