SAN LEANDRO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Alpha Innotech Corp. (OTCBB:APNO - News), a leading provider of bioanalytical systems for drug discovery and life science research, today reported financial results for their second quarter ending June 30, 2009.

Second quarter revenues of $4.2 million were flat from the $4.2 million of revenues reported in the same period in 2008.

The Company posted a net loss of $15,785 in the second quarter ending June 30, 2009 as compared to a $23,199 net profit in the comparable period of 2008.

Excluding interest, depreciation and share-based compensation, on a non-GAAP basis, the Company had net income of $429,056 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to $456,448 for the three months ended June 30, 2008. The non-GAAP net income is reconciled to comparable GAAP net income in the table below entitled “Non-GAAP Calculation of Net Income.”

For the six months ended June 30, 2009, revenues remained at $7.9 million compared to the $7.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The Company reported net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2009 of $234,748, or $0.02 per share, compared to net income of $21,142, or less than $0.01 per share, for the six months ended June 30, 2008.

Excluding interest, depreciation and share-based compensation, on a non-GAAP basis, the Company had net income of $671,010 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to a net income of $794,758 for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The non-GAAP net income is reconciled to comparable GAAP net income in the table entitled “Non-GAAP Calculation of Net Income.”

On July 14, 2009, we received a letter from General Electric Healthcare (GEHC) terminating our supply agreement with them effective May 2010. During the remainder of the term of the agreement we will continue shipping systems to GEHC as customer demand requires. While we may continue to supply GEHC with systems as well as support for their installed base, we assume future revenues will be minimal from GEHC beginning in our third quarter of 2009. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, revenue from GEHC was $705,000 compared to $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008.

“Excluding the GEHC business, our second quarter 2009 revenues grew 17% compared to the second quarter of 2008. The growth, during the second quarter of 2009, in our non-GEHC revenues was greater than the nearly $600,000 decline in GEHC revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2008,” stated Ron Bissinger, Chief Executive Officer of Alpha Innotech Corp. “As a percentage of our total revenues, we have been reducing our dependency on GEHC business since 2007. We expect continuing growth from our own global channel expansions and introduction of new products,” he continued.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement the Company’s financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, the Company is also providing non-GAAP financial information. The presentation of non-GAAP financial information should be considered in addition to the Company’s GAAP results and is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.
