IsoRay, Inc. Reports Third Quarter Results

RICHLAND, Washington (May 19, 2009) – IsoRay Inc. (AMEX: ISR) a medical isotope company focusing on the treatment of prostate and other malignant disease through use of its proprietary radioisotope technology, announced its financial results for the third quarter of fiscal year 2009, ended March 31, 2009.

Sales revenue for the quarter decreased by 23% to approximately $1,366,289 as compared to approximately $1,783,642 in the third quarter of fiscal 2008.   Fifty medical centers ordered the Company’s Proxcelan^TM seeds in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 compared to the 57 centers that ordered in the second quarter of fiscal 2008.  Management believes that the decline in sales revenue resulted primarily from decreased sales volume and is partially attributable to a lower average invoice price due to the expanded use of the Company’s seeds in dual therapy cases which typically use fewer seeds.   

The Company’s net loss decreased 29% from approximately $2,091,640 in the quarter ended March 31, 2008 to $1,482,648 in the quarter ended March 31, 2009.

The Company had cash of approximately $5,163,920 and short-term investments of approximately $480,005 as of March 31, 2009.

Dwight Babcock, IsoRay Chairman and CEO, commented “Although, the quarter's sales results were disappointing, we significantly narrowed our net loss while continuing to invest in new marketing and sales initiatives, such as the February 18, 2009 exclusive distribution agreement with BrachySciences.  We continue to believe that we have the initiatives and personnel in place to improve sales growth and experience future operating improvements.”

About IsoRay

IsoRay, Inc., through its subsidiary, IsoRay Medical, Inc., is the sole producer of the Cesium-131 brachytherapy seed.

The Cesium-131 seed offers a significantly shorter radiation half-life than the two other isotopes commonly used for brachytherapy, which results in a substantially faster delivery of therapeutic radiation, a theoretically improved radiation delivery against aggressively replicating cancer(a), and the potential for a reduced longevity of common brachytherapy side effects(b).

Cesium-131 is currently used in the treatment of prostate cancer(c) and ocular melanoma(d), among other cancerous conditions.

 IsoRay is based in Richland, Washington. More information is available about IsoRay at www.isoray.com.
