Commenting on the 2010 results, Mr. Dennis McGrath, CEO stated: "We believe we have strategically positioned the Company, with our mix of reimbursed medical procedures and non-reimbursed treatments and products, to have successfully weathered the macroeconomic issues of 2009 that persisted into 2010. Our product offerings have been improved and expanded and include the XTRAC Velocity(TM), capable of treating severe psoriasis, being studied to potentially clear severe psoriasis in a few weeks when used in conjunction with certain topical treatments; and a new line of proprietary copper-peptide and DNA repair enzyme-based skincare products marketed to physicians both domestically and internationally under the NEOVA(TM) brand, introduced in the fourth quarter of 2010. We expanded our sales force in 2010 by 25% in order to be in a better position to take advantage of these revenue opportunities and have invested significantly in sales training for our sales professionals and our customers. Our strategic focus has been centered on leveraging our core products and people to grow our business organically and open new channels of distribution globally in both the physician and non-medical markets."

Continuing, Mr. McGrath further stated, "I am proud of our employee's contributions to these positive changes that have been accomplished while concurrently reducing our annual operating expenses by more than $6.5 million and curtailing our annual capital expenditures by nearly $5 million in the last 24 months, increasing 2010 revenues by 6.5% and improving cash flow from operations by $2.4 million, including achieving net positive cash flow of more than $1.0 million, after paying nearly $1 million in debt payments, in the fourth quarter alone."

A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP financial measures, and a presentation of the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included below.

Non-GAAP Measures

To supplement PhotoMedex's consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, PhotoMedex provides certain non-GAAP measures of financial performance. These non-GAAP measures include non-GAAP adjusted net loss and non-GAAP adjusted loss per share.

PhotoMedex's reference to these non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to results prepared under current accounting standards, but are not a substitute for, nor superior to, GAAP results. These non-GAAP measures are provided to enhance investors' overall understanding of PhotoMedex's current financial performance and to provide further information for comparative purposes.

Specifically, the Company believes the non-GAAP measures provide useful information to both management and investors by isolating certain expenses, gains and losses that may not be indicative of the Company's core operating results and business outlook. In addition, PhotoMedex believes non-GAAP measures that exclude stock-based compensation expense and other non-cash or non-recurring expenses enhance the comparability of results against prior periods. Reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measure of all non-GAAP measures included in this press release is as follows:

(1) Share amounts and basic and diluted net loss per share amounts shown on the consolidated statements of operations have been adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split of 1-for-6 effective February 3, 2010.

(2) Interest expense includes cash interest of $111,048 and $123,900 for the three month periods ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively and $534,177 and $675,389 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
