Q2 Highlights
Genomics and Toxicogenomics Services
-- The Company achieved its second consecutive profitable quarter
for its Genomics business.
-- The Company signed seven (7) new customers, including Imclone,
CISRO and Neurocrine, bringing to sixteen (16) the total
number of new customers signed in the first half of 2005.
-- Shortly after the quarter end, the Company launched the
SCIANTIS(TM) System, a new online gene expression reference
database for use by academic, government and other non-profit
research organizations. In connection with the launch of
SCIANTIS, the Company signed a global distribution agreement
with GE Healthcare whereby GE will distribute the System in 32
countries and will be exclusive distributor in Japan.
Drug Repositioning and Selection Services
-- The Company commenced work on an additional ten (10) drug
candidates, all of which are candidates from discontinued
clinical programs that were stalled for reasons other than
toxicity. The current total number of drug candidates in Gene
Logic's repositioning pipeline stands at seventeen (17) as of
June 30, 2005.
-- Two drug candidates currently under evaluation have now
advanced to the next stage of development. In each case, the
partner agreed that the repositioning platform had presented
evidence compelling enough to warrant the performance of
efficacy animal model validation.
-- The Company generated promising data suggesting new possible
indications for an additional two (2) candidates under
evaluation, bringing to four (4) the current number of
promising leads from the seventeen (17) drug candidates under
evaluation.
Nonclinical Contract Research Services
-- The Company completed the expansion and upgrade of its
nonclinical services facilities, increasing its general
toxicology testing capacity by more than 50% to meet growing
industry demand for nonclinical testing.

Total revenue for the second quarter of 2005 was $20.1 million
compared to $18.6 million for the second quarter of 2004, an increase
of 8%. Revenue for the Company's genomics and toxicogenomics business
increased $1.5 million, or 12%. Revenue for the second quarter of 2005
includes $2.9 million for the first deliverables of a $5.5 million
sale to an existing customer, for a perpetual license for data. The
balance of the $5.5 million will be recognized as data is delivered
through December 2006. The Company is currently broadening its
portfolio of genomics services and related distribution channels as
the Company continues its strategy of increasing its sales beyond
large, multiyear subscriptions. Revenue for the Company's nonclinical
contract research services business declined slightly in 2005.

million, which included $2.5 million in losses from our investment in
our new drug repositioning and selection services business. This
compares to $4.2 million for the second quarter of 2004. This
improvement of 14% reflects the positive impact of increased sales
volume of $1.5 million and reduced database production expenses,
offset by higher facility, labor and support costs associated with
expansion of the Company's nonclinical contract research services
capacity, as well as the investment in the Company's new drug
repositioning and selection business.

Year-to-date total operating loss was $8.3 million, which included

and selection services business. This compares to $9.4 million for the
first six months of 2004. This improvement of 12% reflects the
positive impact of reduced database production expenses and
achievement of other operational efficiencies, offset by increases in
cost of sales and research and development expenses, which now include
the development and commercialization of the Company's new drug
repositioning and selection business.

Note: Management uses operating income to evaluate segment
performance. To arrive at operating income, the Company has
included all direct costs for providing its services and an
allocation for corporate overhead applied on a consistent and
reasonable basis. The Company has excluded the cost of income
taxes and interest income or expense and could also exclude
certain unusual or corporate related costs in the future. In
addition, while the Company's consolidated results of operation
include adjustments to reflect the elimination of inter-company
transactions, individual segments may include these types of
transactions. The Company does not believe these transactions are
material and believes that their inclusion would not impact either
management's or shareholders' understanding of our various
segments. For the purpose of clarity, revenue is reported net of
inter-company transactions.
*T
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses, excluding the cost of nonclinical contract
research services, for the second quarter of 2005 were $17.1 million
compared to $16.7 million for the second quarter of 2004. These
results reflect the impact of lower costs associated with developing
additional database content, including costs for microarrays, tissues,
amortization and agreements with third parties, offset by $2.6 million
in increased expenses associated with the ongoing development and
commercialization of the Company's new drug repositioning and
selection services business.
Year-to-date operating expenses, excluding the cost of nonclinical
contract research services, were $34.3 million, a decrease of $1.3
million or 4% when compared to $35.7 million for the prior comparative
period.
Gross Margin
The gross margin in the Company's nonclinical contract research
services business for the second quarter of 2005 was negative $0.8
million or negative 14%. Gross margins reflect the impact of higher
facility, labor and support charges largely associated with and in
advance of our recently announced 50% increase in nonclinical contract
research capacity. We expect margins to increase as we begin to
utilize this additional capacity.
Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense for the second quarter of 2005 was zero
compared to $0.5 million for the second quarter of 2004, reflecting
the impact of the implementation of a new income tax treaty between
the United States and Japan, effectively eliminating withholding taxes
on payments made between the countries after July 1, 2004.
Net Loss
The net loss for the second quarter of 2005 was $2.6 million, or
$0.08 per share, compared to $4.4 million, or $0.14 per share, for the
second quarter of 2004, and reflects an improvement of 41%.
Year-to-date net loss was $6.7 million, or $0.21 per share,
compared to $9.9 million, or $0.32 per share, for the prior year, and
reflects an improvement of 32%.
Backlog
As of June 30, 2005, Gene Logic had a backlog for nonclinical
contract research services of approximately $15 million, which
comprises commitments under signed task orders (or other written firm
commitments), excluding any amounts thereunder recognized as revenue.
Cash
As of June 30, 2005, Gene Logic had approximately $98.0 million in
combined cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities
available-for-sale, which compares to $97.8 million as of March 31,
2005 and $102.9 million as of December 31, 2004.
Gene Logic Guidance
The Company is reaffirming its previous guidance issued on March
17, 2005.
