ProCyte named a "Fast Fifty" Washington State Technology Company for second consecutive year.ProCyte Corporation, the creators of Tricomin and its patented Copper Peptide technology today announced that it has been included in the Deloitte & Touche 2002 Washington State Technology Fast 50...The Washington State Fast 50 is an annual listing compiled by Deloitte & Touche that highlights the 50 fastest growing technology companies in Washington State. Criteria include owning proprietary technology that contributes a significant portion of the company's operating revenues, being headquartered in Washington State, and having at least a five-year operating history. Companies named to the 2002 Fast 50 have generated the highest revenue growth rates for the period from 1997 through 2001.

ProCyte Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Jack Clifford stated, "We are proud to have generated the growth necessary to be recognized on this prestigious list for the second year in a row. Our compound annual revenue growth rate for the 1997 to 2001 period was 79 percent, which places us in an enviable class of companies that we respect greatly."

ProCyte recently announced dramatically improved financial results for the second quarter and first half of 2002. Net earnings for the first six months surged, eclipsing the $1 million mark, compared with a net loss of $866,000 for the first half of 2001.

"Our success is the result of increasing consumer awareness regarding the distinct benefits delivered by our patented Copper Peptide technology, and the tireless efforts of our employees and partners," continued Clifford. "Moreover, our recent transition to sustainable profitability after nearly 17 years of research and development bolsters our outlook for rapid growth in shareholder value going forward."

The annual awards celebration recognizing the 2002 Washington State Technology Fast 50 is scheduled for Thursday, September 26, 2002, at the new Seahawk Stadium.
