MONTGOMERYVILLE, Pa., Aug 02, 2005 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- PhotoMedex, Inc. (Nasdaq: PHMD) today announced the results of its operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2005.

Revenues for the second quarter ended June 30, 2005 were $8,055,173, an increase of 86.3 percent over the same period last year. Included in these revenues is $3,522,214 from ProCyte Corporation, a company acquired by PhotoMedex on March 18, 2005. This compares to revenues for the second quarter ended June 30, 2004 of $4,323,134.

The net loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 was $660,651, or $(0.01) per diluted share. The net loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 was $1,207,167, or $(0.03) per diluted share.

Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2005 were $13,038,505, an increase of 56.2 percent over the same period last year. Included in these revenues is $4,145,515 from ProCyte Corporation. This compares to revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2004 of $8,348,364.

The net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was $1,788,763, or $(0.04) per diluted share. The net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2004 was $2,570,249, or $(0.07) per diluted share.

As of June 30, 2005, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $5,720,117.

Jeffrey O'Donnell, PhotoMedex CEO and President, commented, "I am proud of the progress our team has made on insurance reimbursement and the integration of ProCyte into PhotoMedex. Our XTRAC procedures ramped up for the quarter and with the recent reimbursement wins at United Healthcare and Independence Blue Cross of Pennsylvania, we expect continued upward momentum. Without the transaction expenses connected to the ProCyte acquisition, we were cash flow positive for the second quarter achieving a significant milestone event for the Company. We are also pleased at the recent recognition the Company received with its inclusion in the Russell Microcap Index and the invitation by NASDAQ to ring the Closing Bell on August 4."
