Inyx Reports Sharp Increase in Second-Quarter Results

Company Also Reaffirms Year-End Guidance 


NEW YORK, Aug. 19  /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Inyx, Inc. (OTC:IYXI) (BULLETIN BOARD: IYXI) , a specialty pharmaceutical company focused on aerosol drug delivery technologies and products, reported today operating results for the second quarter and first half ended June 30, 2005.  The company also reaffirmed its guidance for 2005.

For the 2005 second quarter, revenues reached $8.5 million, the highest quarterly level in the company's history and more than triple the $2.8 million reported a year ago.  There was a net loss in the 2005 quarter of $4.1 million, equal to $0.10 per share, compared with a net loss of $3.4 million, or $0.12 a share, in the year-earlier period.

For the 2005 first half, revenues increased 53% to $11.2 million from $7.3 million in the corresponding period last year.  The net loss in the 2005 half amounted to $11.1 million, equal to $0.28 per share, versus a net loss of $6.1 million, or $0.21 a share, a year earlier.  Detailed financials are presented in the company's Form 10-Q being filed today, which can be downloaded from Inyx's website.

Results in Perspective & Future Guidance

Jack Kachkar, M.D., Chairman & CEO of Inyx, Inc., said, "The strong increase in second-quarter revenues is due to increased business from our Puerto Rico acquisition on March 31, 2005.  We also had higher operating expenses and financing costs as a result of the acquisition.  Contributing to the increased loss in this year's first half was a reduction in our core revenues during the period due to regulatory delays experienced by two customers and a vendor qualification delay on a third customer at our United Kingdom site.  These delays, which have since been resolved, have resulted in approximately $8.0 million in committed contract revenues being deferred from the first half to the second half of 2005."

Dr. Kachkar added, "Based on new business relationships that we have been cultivating, as well as the commencement and ramp-up of several existing contracts in this second half, Inyx reaffirms the 2005 financial guidance given earlier in the year."

Inyx expects revenues to total more than $50 million in 2005 and to achieve operating profitability by year-end.

"We are very excited about the future because of growth opportunities that are opening up for Inyx as a result of our company's expanding base of clients and strategic relationships with leading pharmaceutical companies," said the Inyx CEO.  He noted that these expansions are being driven by Inyx's expertise and technologies in three areas:  (1) Inyx is one of only several companies with proven experience in converting from ozone-depleting to non-ozone- depleting aerosol pharmaceuticals; (2) Inyx's patented lipid-matrix technology that enhances inhalation delivery of not only single molecule but also combination drugs; and (3) Inyx's proprietary hydrocarbon foam formulations for aerosol delivery of dermatological and topical pharmaceutical products.
