“Second quarter 2011 revenue increased 107% over the same prior year-ago time period and we are very pleased by these positive results,” said Ralph Makar, Bioject’s President and CEO. “The significant increase in second quarter 2011 revenue contributed greatly to the over 76% revenue growth for the six months ending June 30, 2011, as compared to mid-year 2010 revenue. Due to our higher revenue, driven by increased sales to Merial and additional one-time orders to Merck Serono for 2011, which we began shipping in the second quarter, Bioject was able to report positive net income for both the quarter and the six months ended June 30, 2011,” commented Mr. Makar. “Cash on hand was $894,000, an increase of over $700,000 as compared to year-end 2010, thanks to improved accounts receivable turnover and a convertible debt financing of $225,000 by four board members, including myself. Bioject has overcome many challenges over the last few years to achieve positive net income in this most recent period and we must now leverage this short-term result to address new obstacles ahead, find new business and plan for the future, “ added Mr. Makar.

The Company will conduct a conference call to review results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2011 on Thursday, August 11, 2011 at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time.
