ANNOUNCES PRELIMINARY SECOND QUARTER 2010 REVENUE
Company
Reports 45% Increase in Q2 2010 Revenue Year-over-Year
DUBLIN,
OHIO – July 15, 2010 -- Neoprobe Corporation (OTCBB: NEOP), a diversified
developer of innovative oncology surgical and diagnostic products, today
announced that it expects to report revenue of approximately $2.6 million and
$5.3 million for the second quarter and year-to-date in 2010,
respectively. These revenues represent increases of 45 percent and 18
percent for each of the respective periods over the same periods in
2009. Increased sales volume of the Company’s base gamma detection
systems, offset by slight price decreases, accounted for the increases in both
periods.

information currently available to the Company and are subject to completion of
the second quarter financial statements and their review by Neoprobe’s
independent registered public accounting firm. Neoprobe expects to

the first week of August, 2010.
