Second Quarter 2011 Financial Results

Total revenue increased by 18.8 percent to $6.7 million for the second quarter ended June 30, 2011, compared to $5.6 million for the same period last year. The increase was primarily due to increases in pharmaceutical service revenues of $1.6 million. Revenue from ResponseDX™ genetic tests decreased by 15 percent to $3.0 million for the second quarter, compared to $3.5 million for the same period in 2010. The decrease in ResponseDX™ revenue was artificially caused by the one-time revenue adjustment of $1.5 million recorded in the second quarter of 2010 for the adoption of the accrual basis of accounting. Pharmaceutical client revenue increased 74.4 percent to $3.7 million, compared to $2.1 million in the second quarter of 2010.
