CUSTOMVIS PLC

('CustomVis' or 'the Group')

Sales Update

CustomVis (AIM: CUS), the leading developer, manufacturer and distributor of solid state laser systems for the refractive surgical industry is pleased to announce it has signed five new sales contracts for its Pulzar Z1 laser, since last updating the market on 11 May 2009.

Four of the lasers have been sold to clinics in Iraq, while the fifth becomes the Group's first sale into Argentina. Both markets represent substantial opportunities for CustomVis. The Group has received an up-front cash payment for the full amount for one of the Iraqi lasers. This money was received on 1 June 2009, with the laser being shipped on 5 June 2009. It is expected that this laser will be installed ahead of the 30 June 2009 year end, making it eligible for recognition in the current year's trading, according to the Group's accounting policy. The other four contracts will be satisfied by instalment-based payments but with higher deposits than in the past. Deposits have already been received for these sales contracts.

Installations of the remaining four lasers are expected to take place in Q1 of the Group's 2009/10 financial year. 

Paul van Saarloos, CEO of CustomVis, commented, 'As we begin to demonstrate the superiority of the Pulzar Z1 against existing laser systems in the market, we are beginning to witness greater traction with our sales pipeline. Furthermore, we are now receiving upfront cash payments which, as well as greatly helping cash flow, further support the market leading quality of our laser.'
