Implant Sciences Corporation Announces First Quarter Results for Fiscal 2009

Implant Sciences Corporation (NYSE Alternext US: IMX), a high technology supplier of systems and sensors for the homeland security market and related industries, today announced financial results for its fiscal 2009 first quarter ended September 30, 2008. The Company’s financial condition and results of operations reported below include only continuing operations, which exclude the financial condition and results of operations of i) Core Systems, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, the assets of which are being sold pursuant to a recently announced agreement, and ii) the medical reporting unit, the assets of which have been sold or are in the process of being sold as part of the Company’s decision to withdraw from the medical business.

Total security revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2008 was $5,948,000 compared with $1,347,000 for the comparable prior year period, an increase of $4,601,000 or 342%. The increase in security revenues is a result of increased sales of our explosives detection products, primarily due to a significant shipment of our handheld explosives detection equipment to a customer in China. The Company also recorded increased revenues from performance on government contracts.

Gross margin for the three months ended September 30, 2008 improved to $2,776,000, or 47% of security revenue, as compared with $526,000, or 39% of security revenue, for the comparable prior year period. The improvement in gross margin is a result of increased sales volume of our handheld explosives detection equipment.

Loss from continuing operations for the three months ended September 30, 2008 was $634,000, or $0.05 per basic and diluted share, compared with a loss of $1,565,000, or $0.13 per basic and diluted share, for the comparable prior year period. The decrease in loss from continuing operations is due primarily to increased sales of our handheld explosives detection product and improved gross margins resulting from these sales.

Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2008 was $356,000 as compared to a net loss of $2,202,000 for the comparable prior year period. During the three months ended September 30, 2008, net income was primarily a result of increased sales and income from discontinued operations, which included approximately $931,000 of gain on sale of assets of our medical business unit.

As of September 30, 2008, the Company’s cash position improved to $2,013,000 as compared to $412,000 as of June 30, 2008.

Phillip Thomas, CEO and President, commented, "Our improved operating results for the first quarter of fiscal 2009 is a culmination of the strategic initiatives effected over the past year and a half to become a pure play in the security industry. We believe our handheld explosives detection product continues to gain acceptance in the global marketplace and are optimistic that our soon to be introduced cargo screening systems will gain traction over the next several quarters. We continue to execute on our operating plan to the best of our ability in a challenging and unpredictable business environment. We believe the completion of the recently announced sale of Core Systems transaction along with the re-negotiation of extended payment terms on our obligations to Laurus should help shore-up our balance sheet. In addition, our recent success in defeating certain pre-trial motions in the ongoing litigation with Evans Analytical Group, LLC should renew our efforts to attract additional financing. We look forward to discussing our progress in the scheduled conference call.”

Additional information on the financial condition and results of operations can be found in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three month period ended September 30, 2008 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
