Sunday June 17, 12:44 pm Eastern Time Press Release SOURCE: Wechsler Harwood Halebian & Feffer Wechsler Harwood Files Securities Class Action Against Robotic Vision Systems, Inc. -- ROBV NEW YORK, June 17, 2001 (PRIMEZONE) -- Wechsler Harwood Halebian & Feffer LLP filed a class action lawsuit against Robotic Vision Systems, Inc. and its top two executives. The action is pending in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts. The suit is brought on behalf of all persons or entities who purchased the commons stock of Robotic Vision Systems, Inc. (``Robotic Systems'') (Nasdaq:ROBV - news) between January 27, 2000 and May 15, 2001 inclusive (the ``Class Period''). The complaint charges Robotic Systems and certain of its officers and directors with violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. It also alleges that during the Class Period, Robotic Vision Systems reported materially false and misleading financial results for fiscal year 2000 in violation of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. On May 15, 2001, before the market opened, Robotic Vision Systems announced that it would be restating its financial results for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2000 and for the three month period ending December 31, 2000 to correct certain accounting errors involving the recognition of revenue at its Acuity CiMatrix division. As a result of defendants' alleged fraud, Robotic Systems' common stock traded at artificially inflated levels through out the class period. In response to the shocking news that Robotic Systems' financial statements required restatement, the Company's stock price lost almost 15% of its value in one day. Plaintiff seeks to recover damages on behalf of the Class and is represented by Wechsler Harwood Halebian & Feffer LLP (``Wechsler Harwood'') who has significant experience and expertise prosecuting class actions on behalf of investors and shareholders.
