NEW YORK, NY–(EMWNews – July 31, 2008) – Daxor Corporation (AMEX: DXR), a medical

instrumentation and biotechnology company, today announced second quarter

earnings for 2008. For the quarter ended June 30, 2008, total operating

revenues increased by 2.1 % to $556,587 from $545,318 in the same period in

2007. This was mainly the result of increased Volumex kit sales of $25,962

or 11.8% during the current quarter versus the same period in 2007. There

were three Blood Volume Analyzers sold in both the quarter ended June 30,

2008 and June 30, 2007.

For the six months ended June 30, 2008, total operating revenues decreased

by 7.0% to $977,500 from $1,051,200 for the same period in 2007. The

decrease in operating revenues can be attributed to the sale of three Blood

Volume Analyzers in the six months ended June 30, 2008 versus the sale of

five instruments for the same period in 2007. The Centers for Medicare and

Medicaid Services (CMS) implemented a policy change effective January 1,

2008 which significantly reduced the reimbursement for diagnostic

radiopharmaceutical products. It is the opinion of management that this

change has negatively impacted instrument sales. For the six months ended

June 30, 2008, Volumex kit sales increased by $83,778 or 18.3%. For the six

months ended June 30, 2008, costs and expenses decreased by 0.6% to

$3,470,552 from $3,491,328 for the same period in 2007.

At June 30, 2008, the Company had total assets of $104,274,718 with total

stockholders’ equity of $59,016,283 vs. total assets of $102,560,500 and

$54,915,885 of stockholders’ equity at December 31, 2007. In the first

three and six months of 2008 and 2007, the company had significant income

from investments which completely offset the operating loss.

Total other income for the six months ended June 30, 2008 increased by

49.5% to $11,718,902 from $7,840,037 for the same period in 2007. The basic

net income per share for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was $2.01

versus $1.17 for the same period in 2007.

The company is continuing to increase its expenses associated with research

and development as part of the continuing effort to develop products that

are complementary to its current product line. The improvement in the

company’s financial structure is important for the company’s expansion

plans. There were 56 Blood Volume Analyzers placed at June 30, 2008 versus

50 instruments at June 30, 2007.

The Board of Directors voted to declare a dividend of $0.25 per quarter.

The dividend will be paid on August 27, 2008 to shareholders of record on

July 28, 2008. The Company intends to maintain a policy of paying dividends

on a quarterly basis if net income is available to maintain the dividend.

Under the provisions of the Company’s stock buyback program, Daxor may

purchase up to 250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock each year. As

part of this program, the Company purchased 110,700 shares of Daxor Common
