QUEENSBURY, NY (January 3, 2008)–AngioDynamics (NASDAQ: ANGO), a leading provider of innovative medical devices used by interventional radiologists and surgeons for the minimally invasive treatment of cancer and peripheral vascular disease, today reported financial results for the second quarter of fiscal 2008, which ended on November 30, 2007.

For the second fiscal quarter, the Company reported $41.5 million in net sales, which is 70% higher than the $24.4 million reported for the second quarter of fiscal 2007.  The growth in sales includessales from RITAMedical Systems which was acquired on January 29, 2007. Operating income rose 59% to $4.8million from $3.0 million for the same period a year ago. Gross margin rose to 61.3% from 58.5% in the prior-year second quarter. Second quarter net income increased 26% to $3.1 million from $2.5 million, while GAAP EPS decreased to $0.13 per share from $0.15 per share from the same period a year ago due to the 53% increase in diluted shares outstanding primarily related to the acquisition of RITA Medical Systems.

“We had another excellent quarter where we executed and delivered resultsin line with our expectations,”said Eamonn Hobbs, president and chief executive officer.  “Net sales were 70% higher over the same period last year. We are particularly pleased with the 20% year over year sales growth in our vascular access ports businessand the 26% year over year sales growth, on a pro forma basis, of our oncology products group.”

“The quarter featured strong sales performance from the Habib®electrosurgical device, Morpheus®CT PICC and bedside insertion kit, SmartPort™vascular access port, Profiler®balloon dilatation catheter and LC Beads™embolization particles. Second quarter fiscal 2008 AngioDynamics product lines sales faced a very difficult comparison and grew 7% over the prior year period. The difficult comparison resulted after AngioDynamics product lines sales grew 30% in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 over the same period of fiscal 2006.  Based on current trends, we believe that the AngioDynamics product lines sales will grow at least 15% year over year during the third quarter of fiscal 2008,” continued Mr. Hobbs.

Of the $41.5 million in second quarter net sales, AngioDynamics products constituted $26.2 million and RITA Medical products constituted $15.3 million. AngioDynamics product sales grew 7% in the second quarter over the year ago quarter. On a pro forma basis, RITA Medical product sales grew 18% in the second quarter versus the comparable period a year ago.

For the first half of fiscal 2008, net sales were $79.0 million, which is 77% higher than net sales of $44.6 million in the first half of fiscal 2007, and reflected sales gains across the Company's diverse product portfolio. Net income for the first half of fiscal 2008 was $5.5 million, up 26% over net income of $4.4 million in the comparable fiscal 2007 period, and diluted earnings per share were $0.23, compared to $0.27 earnings per share a year ago.

The Company continued to execute on its product development and research plans. During the second quarter of fiscal 2008, the Company:

·   Highlighted a study outlining a significant 5-year survival rate after the ablation of colorectal liver metastases published in the October 2007 issue of the Annals of Surgery.

·   Received a U.S. Patent that covers its endovascular laser treatment device with a spacer that positions the fiber tip away from the vessel wall, and for the method of using that device.

·   Made preparations to provide its venous product line customers with uninterrupted supply regardless of the outcome of pending litigation.

·   Continued to work alongside Oncobionic on the Irreversible Electroporation (IRE) development program which uses needles and image guidance similar to existing thermal ablation technologies, but instead of ‘cooking’ or ‘freezing’ the targeted tissue, IRE disrupts the cell membrane, thereby destroying the targeted cells. Important new parameters and stricter requirements were added to the

human trials focused on malignant prostate cancer which are expected to be performed by a leading clinician based in Italy in calendar 2008.

The Company affirmed its outlook for fiscal 2008:

-- Net sales in the range of $170-$175 million

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

Management uses non-GAAP measures to establish operational goals, and believes that non-GAAP measures may assist investors in analyzing the underlying trends in the Company's business over time. Investors should consider these non-GAAP measures in addition to, not as a substitute for or as superior to, financial reporting measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. In this news release, the Company has reported non-GAAP adjusted income and adjusted EPS. Adjusted income and adjusted EPS excludes certain non-cash expenses relating to the acquisition of RITA Medical, stock-based compensation expense (net of tax), and includes the cash benefit from the use of acquired net operating losses.  Management uses these measures in its internal analysis and review of operational performance. Management believes that these measures provide investors with useful information in comparing the Company's performance over different periods,

particularly when comparing this period to periods in which the Company did not incur any expenses relating to these activities or items. By using these non-GAAP measures, management believes that investors get a better picture of the performance of the Company's underlying business. Management encourages investors to review the Company's financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP to understand the Company's performance taking into account all relevant factors, including those that may only occur from time to time but have a material impact on the Company's financial results. Please see the tables that follow for a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP measures.
