and REPLACING IsoRay, Inc. Reports Second Quarter Results
WIRE)-- The first line of the table header should read: Three months
ended December 31, (sted Six months ended December 31,).
corrected release reads:
ISORAY, INC. REPORTS SECOND QUARTER
Inc. (AMEX:ISR) a medical isotope company focusing on the treatment of prostate,
lung, head and neck and other malignant disease through the use of its
proprietary radioisotope technology, announced its financial results for the
second quarter of fiscal year 2010, ended December 31, 2009.
revenue for the quarter increased by 3% to approximately $1,368,347 as compared
to approximately $1,326,703 in the second quarter of fiscal 2009. The revenue
increase is primarily related to orders for the new treatment modalities such as
head and neck, lung and colorectal cancers.
Company's revenues during the quarter were primarily generated through the sales
of Proxcelan Cesium-131 seeds for the treatment of prostate cancer. The Company
has now sold Proxcelan Cesium-131 seeds that have treated in excess of 5,100
patients throughout the US. The Company recognized a gross income of $268,154
for the three month period ended December 31, 2009, compared to a gross loss of
$397,522 which included a one-time impairment of $425,434 for the corresponding
period ended December 31, 2008. If the one-time impairment had not been
present in the second quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company would have had gross
income of $27,912. Using this gross income amount for the second quarter of
fiscal 2009, gross income for the second quarter of fiscal 2010 grew by
Company's net loss decreased 42% from approximately $1.6 million for the three
months ended December 31, 2008 to $950,000 in quarter ended December 31,
Company's cash burn this quarter decreased by 32% to approximately $859,000 as
compared to approximately $1,256,000 in the second quarter of fiscal
Company had cash and short-term investments of approximately $3,106,000 as of
Babcock, IsoRay Chairman and CEO, commented "We are pleased with our 3% gain in
revenue while some of our competitors have recorded drops of 10-20% in
brachytherapy seed sales. Certainly with prostate cancer being highly curable by
most modalities, physician choices are being driven by financial drivers. Most
importantly in an effort to accelerate our revenue growth, IsoRay is focused on
the opportunity to expand our markets beyond prostate cancer. While we will
continue to grow the prostate brachytherapy business, we have embarked on
promoting our brand as the LDR isotope of choice throughout the body. This
quarter we are receiving an increasing number of patient and physician inquiries
regarding the applicability of Cesium for other body locations. We are
continuing to explore other delivery systems that in combination with Cesium can
aid in our fight against cancer."
Inc., through its subsidiary, IsoRay Medical, Inc., is the sole producer of the
Cesium-131 brachytherapy seed, used to treat prostate and other cancers. The
Cesium-131 seed offers a significantly shorter half-life than the two other
isotopes commonly used for brachytherapy, which results in a substantially
faster delivery of therapeutic radiation, lower probability of cancer cell
survival and reduction of the longevity of common brachytherapy side
effects(a)(b). IsoRay is based in Richland, Washington. More information is
