Operational Highlights

addition, the Company and Osram Opto Semiconductors embraced a
mutual agreement for ProPhotonix to distribute Osram's ground
breaking green (515nm and 520nm) and blue (450nm) Direct Diode
Lasers.
-- 1.15 Book-to-Bill ratio from existing customers and
significant new customer activity, of which 10 new customers
amounted to $1.8 million of first half bookings.
Tim Losik, President & CEO, Commented:
"During the first half 2013, the Company has experienced an
improvement in business activity with order bookings through the
first six months of 2013 totaling $8.4 million and the June 30,
2013 backlog of unshipped orders, $6.2 million, up 16% since
December 31, 2012. The Company ended the first six months of 2013
with a book-to-bill ratio of 1.15. New customer activity is a
cornerstone focus for growth and I am pleased that we are embracing
new customers every day. Ten new customers accounted for $1.8
million of bookings in the first half, in both businesses, across
several market sectors: industrial, medical/dental, semiconductor,
and robotics. The investment in our sales team is reaping rewards.
In addition, we are seeing broad interest in the green and blue
Direct Diode Lasers by Osram and believe this will allow growth
within the existing customer base and new customer activity.
"As announced on June 21, 2013 the Company secured $3.0 million
of new loan financing with net availability of $2.5 million through
an existing lender to the Company alongside a new lender. We are
confident this capital puts ProPhotonix on solid footing to
continue the execution of its strategy. As we execute our strategy
and grow, we will seek additional sources of capital in order to
expand our product and market positioning and to reduce our cost
structure.
"Excluding restructuring and one-time charges of $582K, we
produced significant improvements in the operating performance
versus the first half 2012, including: Operating Income improved
69%, EBITDA improved 80%, and Net Income improved 47%. The
improvement in operating performance is the result of increased
revenue, product mix, cost reductions, and overhead absorption. The
actions taken to reduce costs in the first half will significantly
reduce our break-even point on a go forward basis. Following the
financing on June 21, 2013, and having assessed future trading
forecasts, the Company believes that it has sufficient financing to
allow it to trade for the foreseeable future.
"The outlook for ProPhotonix is very encouraging and despite
global economic head winds, to which we are not immune, order
activity has improved in the first half 2013, while our opportunity
pipeline continues to grow."

Half Year 2013 Financial Results
Revenue for the half year ended June 30 2013 was $7.4 million,
an increase of 9% compared with $6.8 million in the same period of
2012. Gross profit was $3.0 million, an increase of 41% compared to
$2.1 million in the first half of 2012. Gross profit margin
increased to 40.4% from 31.1% in the same period 2012 due to a
shift in product mix, material cost reductions and higher volumes.
Foreign currency exchange impact on gross profit and operating
income was negligible.
Operating expenses, excluding intangible amortization charges,
totaled $4.0 million versus $3.7 million in 2012 for the comparable
period. Included in the 2013 operating expenses are approximately
$0.6 million related to restructuring and nonrecurring charges.
Sales and marketing and research and development (R&D) expenses
decreased 5% in 2013 from the first half 2012, while general and
administrative expenses increased 21% over the same period. Without
the restructuring and nonrecurring charges, general and
administrative expenses would have declined by 11% from the same
period in 2012. The operating loss was $1.1 million, as compared to
a $1.7 million loss in the same period 2012. Excluding the
restructuring and nonrecurring charges, the operating loss would
have been $0.5 million, an improvement of 69% from the first half
2012. EBITDA, excluding the $0.6 million restructuring and
nonrecurring charges, was a loss of $0.3 million versus an EBITDA
loss in 2012 of $1.4 million, an improvement of 80% from the first
half 2012. The net loss was $1.5 million compared to the first half
2012 net loss of $1.8 million.
Strategy and Markets
ProPhotonix consists of two business units: an LED systems
manufacturing business based in Ireland (Cork), and a laser modules
production and laser diode distribution division located in the
United Kingdom (Hatfield Broad Oak). Corporate, marketing and the
North American sales activities are based in Salem, New Hampshire,
United States of America.
The Company is well positioned to make significant progress on
in its strategy to combine its expertise in two key areas of
optics: LEDs and lasers. The Company intends to capitalize on
increasing opportunities in this area by designing and
manufacturing high value, high margin components for global
manufacturers of equipment.
The Company has made significant investments in R&D,
including expanding its R&D team, which now includes a full
complement of optical, mechanical and electrical engineers and
represents over 20% of the Company's total workforce of 96
employees. They are focused on continuing to develop proprietary
products to meet clearly defined demand from our customers and the
markets which we serve. In this regard, progress during the first
half included a range of new laser module and LED OEM opportunities
including development for new customer applications. Currently, the
majority of the Company's R&D and product development
activities are specifically tied to future customer
requirements.

Notes to unaudited Interim Results
Basis of Presentation
The Company financial reports are issued under the recognition
and measurement principles of United States Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles (GAAP). The accompanying unaudited condensed
consolidated financial reports reflect all adjustments of a normal
recurring nature necessary for a fair statement of the (i) results
of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the six month
periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012; (ii) the financial position
at June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012; and (iii) the cash flows for
the six month period ended June 30, 2013 and 2012. These interim
results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year
or any other interim period.
Cautionary Statement
This press release contains forward-looking statements within
the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. All statements
other than statements of historical fact, including without
limitation, those with respect to ProPhotonix's goals, plans and
strategies set forth herein are forward-looking statements. The
following important factors and uncertainties, among others, could
cause actual results to differ materially from those described in
these forward-looking statements: uncertainty that cash balances
may not be sufficient to allow ProPhotonix to meet all of its
business goals; uncertainty that ProPhotonix's new products will
gain market acceptance; the risk that delays and unanticipated
expenses in developing new products could delay the commercial
release of those products and affect revenue estimates; the risk
that one of our competitors could develop and bring to market a
technology that is superior to those products that we are currently
developing; and ProPhotonix's ability to capitalize on its
significant research and development efforts by successfully
marketing those products that the Company develops. Forward-looking
statements represent management's current expectations and are
inherently uncertain. All Company, brand, and product names are
trademarks or registered trademarks of their respective holders.
ProPhotonix undertakes no duty to update any of these
forward-looking statements.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company provides non-GAAP financial measures, such as
EBITDA, to complement its consolidated financial statements
presented in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures do
not have any standardized definition and, therefore, are unlikely
to be comparable to similar measures presented by other reporting
companies. These non-GAAP financial measures are intended to
supplement the user's overall understanding of the Company's
current financial and operating performance and its prospects for
the future. Specifically, the Company believes the non-GAAP results
provide useful information to both management and investors by
identifying certain expenses, gains and losses that, when excluded
from the GAAP results, may provide additional understanding of the
Company's core operating results or business performance, which
management uses to evaluate financial performance for purposes of
planning for future periods. However, these non-GAAP financial
measures are not intended to supersede or replace the Company's
GAAP results.
The Company uses EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation and impairment
charges) as a non-GAAP financial measure in this press release. A
reconciliation of net loss to EBITDA for the six months ended June
30, 2013 and 2012 is as follows:
