Calypte Biomedical Announces Second Quarter and Six-Month Financial Results
LAKE OSWEGO, Ore., Aug. 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Calypte Biomedical Corporation (Amex: HIV) today announced financial results for the second quarter and six-months ended June 30, 2005. Revenue for the quarter totaled $794,000 compared with $910,000 for the comparable period in 2004. The net loss for the quarter was approximately $1.72 million, or $.01 per common share, compared to a net loss of $3.24 million or $.02 for the three months ended June 30, 2004. The net loss for the second quarter of 2005 included net non-cash income of approximately $2.2 million and the net loss for the second quarter of 2004 included approximately $0.5 million in non-cash charges.
The decrease in revenue for the quarter is primarily attributable to transitional and timing issues related to the lab-based HIV-1 legacy products. Sales of the BED Incidence Test grew by over 100% on a sequential quarterly basis. This product was released at the end of the third quarter of 2004.
For the six-month period ended June 30, 2005, revenues totaled $1.46 million versus revenues of $1.88 million for the same period in 2004. The net loss was $5.03 million or $.03 per common share for the six-months ended June 30, 2005, compared to a net loss of $7.29 million or $0.05 per share. The net loss for the six-months ended June 30, 2005 included net non- cash income of approximately $1.8 million and the net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2004 included approximately $1.0 million in non-cash charges.
The non-cash income for the current quarter and year-to-date were primarily related to non-cash interest income resulting from the accounting for Calypte's recent financing instruments, whereas the non-cash charges in the previous year included expense attributable to grants of common stock, options, and warrants as compensation for services plus expense related to the accounting for the Company's then-outstanding financing instruments.
Dr Richard George, President and Chief Executive Officer of Calypte, said, "In the time since we last updated investors, our path forward in the China market has crystallized significantly. We have also been expanding our international distribution channels, forging ahead with regulatory trials for Aware(TM) products, and enjoying significant success with the BED Incidence test, both domestically and abroad. We look forward to sharing this information with our investors during the conference call."
Calypte management will host a conference call at 4:30 pm Eastern Time today to discuss and answer questions regarding the Company's second quarter financial results as well as provide an update on the Company's current activities.

About Calypte Biomedical:
Calypte Biomedical Corporation is a US-based healthcare company focused on the development and commercialization of diagnostic testing products for the detection of sexually transmitted diseases. Calypte specializes in novel tests such as the HIV-1 BED Incidence EIA and is engaged in developing and commercializing new diagnostic test products for the rapid detection of HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases, several of which do not require blood samples. Calypte believes that there is a significant need for rapid detection of such diseases globally to control their proliferation, particularly in lesser-developed countries, which lack the medical infrastructure to support laboratory-based testing. Calypte believes that testing for HIV and other sexually transmitted infectious diseases may make important contributions to public health, and could increase the likelihood of treating those with undetected HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases.
