Financial
"Revenues in the first half of 2020 decreased 3.7% over the same period 2019 primarily due to a decrease of $0.8 million in LED product sales offset by a net increase in Laser and Diode product sales of $0.5 million. Gross profit margin improved to 47.1% compared with 37.2% for the same period in 2019, mainly due to a shift in product mix and the absorption of manufacturing overhead into inventory. In the first half of 2020 we experienced an operating profit of $0.3 million compared to operating loss of $0.1 million in 2019. The operating profit for first half of 2020 was primarily a result of higher profit margins and cost reduction measures put in place to lower the cost structure in response to the Director's concern over the potential negative economic impact associated with COVID-19. Excluding the stock option expense/benefit, operating income in the first half 2020 was $0.3 million as compared to an operating loss of $0.6 million in 2019. Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation and impairment charges) was a profit of $0.4 million, as compared to a loss of $0.5 million in the first half of 2019.
The cash position of the Company improved to $1.9 million as compared to $1.5 million at year end, due to increased operating profits, strict working capital management, and various Covid-19 related State aid. The debt position of the Company improved substantially in the first half of 2020 as it repaid the $0.9 million revolving credit facility in full. As of June 30, 2020, the Company held a net cash position of $1.3 million versus a net debt position as of December 31, 2019 of $0.1 million."
Trading update
Given the inherent uncertainties surrounding COVID-19, the Board continues to believe it is inappropriate to provide forward looking guidance to investors and analysts at the current time.

Half Year 2020 Financial Results
Revenue for the half year ended June 30, 2020 was $6.9 million, a decrease of 3.7% compared with $7.2 million in the same period of 2019 primarily due to a net decrease in LED product sales offset by a net increase in Laser and Diode product sales.
Gross profit was $3.2 million, an increase of 21.8% compared to $2.7 million in the first half of 2019. Gross profit margin improved to 47.1% compared with 37.2% for the same period in 2019, mainly due to a shift in product mix and absorption of manufacturing overhead expenses into inventory.
Operating expenses totaled $3.0 million versus $2.8 million for the comparable period in 2019; inclusive a benefit in 2019 of $0.5 million for stock compensation. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $0.2 million to $2.4 million primarily due to increased stock compensation as there was a stock compensation credit of $0.5 million in 2019 that was not repeated in 2020. Research and development expenses remained relatively flat compared with the prior year at $0.5 million compared to $0.6 million in 2019.
The improved gross profit resulted in an operating profit of $0.3 million ($0.3 million profit excluding stock compensation expense), compared with an operating loss of $0.1 million in the first half of 2019 ($0.6 million loss excluding stock compensation credit).
Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation and impairment charges) was a profit of $0.4 million, as compared to a loss of $0.5 million in the first half of 2019.
Net income was $0.3 million, as compared to a $0.1 million net loss in the first half 2019.

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 loss for the six month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019; (ii) the financial position at June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019; and (iii) the cash flows for the six month period ended June 30, 2020 and 2019. These unaudited interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year or any other interim period. This announcement is available on the Company's website at www.prophotonix.com.
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 will 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 adjusted 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 adjusted 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 income to adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 is as follows:
