A.	BUSINESS DESCRIPTION

Business Description.

Transgenomic, Inc. (the “Company”) provides innovative products for the synthesis, purification and analysis of nucleic acids used in the life sciences industry for research focused on molecular genetics and diagnostics. The Company also provides genetic variation analytical services to the medical research, clinical and pharmaceutical markets. Net sales are categorized as bioinstruments, bioconsumables and discovery services.

•

Bioinstruments. The Company’s flagship product is the WAVE^® System which has broad applicability to genetic variation detection in both molecular genetic research and molecular diagnostics. There is a worldwide installed base of over 1,375 WAVE Systems as of June 30, 2007. The Company also distributes bioinstruments produced by other manufacturers through its sales and distribution network. Service contracts to maintain installed systems are sold and supported by technical support personnel.

•

Bioconsumables. The installed WAVE base and some third-party installed platforms generate a demand for consumables that are required for the system’s continued operation. The Company develops, manufactures and sells these products. In addition, the Company manufactures and sells consumable products that can be used on multiple, independent platforms. These products include SURVEYOR^® Nuclease and a range of HPLC separation columns.

•

Discovery Services. The Company provides various genetic laboratory services through a contract research lab in Gaithersburg, Maryland and a second laboratory in Omaha, Nebraska. The lab in Omaha operates in a Good Laboratory Practices (“GLP”) compliant environment and is certified under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendment. The services provided by the Company’s laboratories primarily include (1) genomic biomarker analysis services to pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical companies to support preclinical and clinical development of targeted therapeutics, and (2) molecular-based testing for hematology, oncology and certain inherited diseases for physicians and third-party laboratories.

Historically, the Company operated a segment (the “Nucleic Acids operating segment”) that developed, manufactured and marketed chemical building blocks for nucleic acid synthesis. In the fourth quarter of 2005, the Company implemented a plan to exit the Nucleic Acids operating segment and during the three months ended March 31, 2007, the Company completed the sale of the remaining assets associated with this segment. Accordingly, the assets and results of the Nucleic Acids operating segment are reflected as discontinued operations for all periods presented in this filing.

Although the Company has experienced declining sales and recurring net losses (resulting in an accumulated deficit of $127 million at June 30, 2007), management believes existing sources of liquidity, including cash and cash equivalents of $7.9 million, are sufficient to meet expected cash needs through 2007. The Company will need to increase net sales and further reduce operating expenses in order to meet its liquidity needs for the existing business on a long-term basis. The Company has announced consolidation plans which are underway and will help reduce operating costs. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to increase net sales or further reduce expenses and, accordingly, the Company may not have sufficient sources of liquidity to continue operations indefinitely. If necessary, management believes they can further reduce costs and expenses to conserve working capital. However, such cost and expense reductions could have an adverse impact on the Company’s new product pipeline and ultimately net sales. The Company could also pursue additional financing, but ultimately, the Company must achieve sufficient net sales to consistently generate net income and cash flows from operations.

B.	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Transgenomic, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates.

The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the

TRANSGENOMIC, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Six Months Ended June 30, 2007 and 2006

(Dollars in thousands except per share data and as noted)

financial statements and the reported amounts of net sales and expenses during the reporting period. In addition, estimates and assumptions associated with the determination of the fair value of certain assets and related impairments and the determination of goodwill impairments require considerable judgment by management. Actual results could differ from the estimates and assumptions used in preparing these financial statements.

Cash and Cash Equivalents.

Cash and cash equivalents include cash and temporary overnight investments with original maturities at acquisition of three months or less.

Accounts Receivable.

Accounts receivable are shown net of allowance for doubtful accounts. The following is a summary of activity for the allowance for doubtful accounts during the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006:


	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended
	June 30, 2007			June 30, 2006			June 30, 2007			June 30, 2006
Beginning balance	$	420		$	581		$	444		$	615
Charges to income		57			(75	)		33			(45	)
Deductions from reserves		(1	)		(128	)		(1	)		(192	)

Ending balance	$	476		$	378		$	476		$	378

While payment terms are generally 30 days, the Company has also provided extended payment terms of up to 90 days in certain cases. The Company reviews accounts receivables on a quarterly basis and adjusts its bad debt reserve accordingly.

Inventories.

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is computed using standard costs for finished goods and average or latest actual cost for raw materials and work in process.

Equipment, Furniture and Fixtures.

Equipment, furniture and fixtures are carried at cost. Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets as follows:


Leasehold improvements		3 to 10 years

Furniture and fixtures		5 to 7 years

Production equipment		5 to 7 years

Computer equipment		3 to 5 years

Research and development equipment		3 to 5 years

Demonstration equipment		3 to 5 years

Depreciation and amortization during the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, included $218 and $350, respectively, related to depreciation of property and equipment. Depreciation and amortization during the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, included $463 and $721, respectively, related to depreciation of property and equipment.

Goodwill

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, provides that goodwill will not be amortized, but will be tested for impairment annually. The Company performs this impairment analysis during the fourth quarter of each year. Impairment occurs when the carrying value is determined to be not recoverable thereby causing the fair value of the goodwill to exceed the carrying value. If impaired, the asset’s carrying value is reduced to its fair value.

Other Assets.

Long-Lived Assets

In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, (SFAS No. 144) which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets and supersedes SFAS No. 121, and the accounting and reporting provisions of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 30, Reporting the Results of Operations, for a disposal of a segment of a business. The Company periodically reviews the carrying value of its long-lived assets to assess recoverability and impairment. The Company recorded no impairments during the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 or 2006.

Other assets include intellectual property, patents, other intangible assets, and other long-term assets.

Intellectual Property. Initial costs paid to license intellectual property from independent third parties are capitalized and amortized using the straight-line method over the license period. Ongoing royalties related to such licenses are expensed as incurred.

Patents. The Company capitalizes external and in-house legal costs, filing fees and other expenses associated with obtaining patents on its new discoveries and amortizes these costs using the straight-line method over the shorter of the legal life of the patent or its economic life, generally 17 years, beginning on the date the patent is issued.

Other Intangible Assets. Identifiable intangible assets with definite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives and tested for impairment as events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the asset may be impaired.

Other Long-Term Assets. Other long-term assets consist primarily of demonstration inventory that has been at customer or prospective customer sites for greater than one year and security deposits on leased facilities. Long-term demonstration inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market.

Stock Based Compensation.

All stock options awarded to date have exercise prices equal to the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant and have ten-year contractual terms. Unvested options as of June 30, 2007 had vesting periods of three years from date of grant. None of the stock options outstanding at June 30, 2007 are subject to performance or market-based vesting conditions.

The Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment (“FAS 123(R)”), on January 1, 2006. FAS 123(R) requires the Company to measure and recognize compensation expense for all stock-based awards made to employees and directors, including stock options. Compensation expense is based on the calculated fair value of the awards as measured at the grant date and is expensed ratably over the service period of the awards (generally the vesting period).

On December 28, 2005, the Company’s Directors approved a plan to accelerate the vesting of all outstanding stock options. Aside from the acceleration of the vesting date, the terms and the conditions of the stock option award agreements governing the underlying stock option grants remained unchanged. As a result of this plan, options to purchase approximately 1,081,845 shares became immediately exercisable. All such options were out-of-the-money and, accordingly, the accelerated vesting resulted in no compensation expense since there was no intrinsic value associated with these fixed awards at the date of modification. Accelerating the vesting of these options allowed the Company to avoid recognition of compensation expense associated with these options in future periods.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Six Months Ended June 30, 2007 and 2006

(Dollars in thousands except per share data and as noted)

Treasury yield in effect at the time of grant; dividend yields of zero percent; expected lives of 2 to 10 years, based on historical exercise activity behavior; and volatility of 89.14% and 79.10% for grants issued for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and June 30, 2007, respectively, based on the historical volatility of our stock over a time that is consistent with the expected life of the option. As of June 30, 2007, there was $272 of unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested stock options, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of nearly three years.

Income Taxes.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities at each balance sheet date using tax rates expected to be in effect in the year the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent that it is more likely than not that they will not be realized.

Revenue Recognition.

Revenue (referred to as “net sales”) on the sales of products is recognized in accordance with the terms of the sales arrangement. Such recognition is based on receipt of an unconditional customer order and transfer of title and risk of ownership to the customer, typically upon shipment of the product under a purchase order. The Company’s sales terms do not provide for the right of return unless the product is damaged or defective. Net sales from certain services associated with the Company’s analytical instruments, to be performed subsequent to shipment of the products, is deferred and recognized when the services are provided. Such services, mainly limited to installation and training services that are not essential to the functionality of the instruments, typically are performed in a timely manner subsequent to shipment of the instrument. The Company also enters into various service contracts that cover installed instruments. These contracts cover specific time periods and net sales associated with these contracts are deferred and recognized over the service period. At June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, deferred revenue mainly associated with the Company’s service contracts, included in the Company’s balance sheet in other accrued expenses, was approximately $2,047 and $1,591, respectively.

Research and Development.

Research and development costs are charged to expense when incurred.

Translation of Foreign Currency.

Financial statements of subsidiaries outside the U.S. are measured using the local currency as the functional currency. The adjustments to translate those amounts into U.S. dollars are accumulated in a separate account in stockholders’ equity and are included in accumulated other comprehensive income. Foreign currency transaction gains or losses resulting from changes in currency exchange rates are included in the determination of net income. Foreign currency transaction adjustments from continuing operations increased/decreased net income (loss) by $69 and $99 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively, and reduced net loss by $72 and $180 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively.

Comprehensive Income.

Accumulated other comprehensive income at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 consisted of foreign currency translation adjustments, net of applicable tax of zero. The Company deems its foreign investments to be permanent in nature and does not provide for taxes on currency translation adjustments arising from converting its investments in a foreign currency to U.S. dollars.

Earnings Per Share.

Basic earnings per share is calculated based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share include shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding stock options, warrants or conversion rights that have exercise or conversion prices below the market value of the Company’s common stock. Options, warrants and conversion rights pertaining to 12,175,141 and 13,538,841 shares of the Company’s common stock have been excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share at June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, because the exercise or conversion price of these instruments exceeded the market price of the Company’s common stock on those dates.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 applies to all tax positions within the scope of Statement 109 and clarifies when and how to recognize tax benefits in the financial statements with a two-step approach of recognition and measurement. The Company adopted FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. Under FIN 48, tax benefits are recognized only for tax positions that are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. The amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is more likely than not to be realized upon ultimate settlement. Unrecognized tax benefits are tax benefits claimed in the Company’s tax returns that do not meet these recognition and measurement standards.

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurement (“FAS 157”). While this Statement does not require new fair value measurements, it provides guidance on applying fair value and expands required disclosures. FAS 157 is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of 2008. The Company is currently assessing the impact FAS 157 may have on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“FAS 159”). This Statement, which is expected to expand fair value measurement, permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. FAS 159 will become effective for the Company beginning with the first quarter of 2008. The Company is currently assessing the impact FAS 159 may have on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

C.	DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

In the fourth quarter of 2005, the Company implemented a plan to exit its Nucleic Acids operating segment. Accordingly, the Company now reflects the results related to this operating segment as discontinued operations for all periods presented. Expenses that are not directly identified to the Nucleic Acids operating segment or that are considered corporate overhead have not been allocated in arriving at the loss from discontinued operations. Summary results of operations of the former Nucleic Acids operating segment were as follows:

Assets associated with the Nucleic Acids segment consisted principally of the Company’s facility in Glasgow, Scotland. During the six months ended June 30, 2007, the Company completed the sale of the Glasgow facility and the associated equipment for $2.9 million, net of selling expenses, which resulted in a gain of $0.1 million. The gain is reflected in the operating expenses of discontinued operations during the period.

G.	COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company is subject to a number of claims of various amounts, which arise out of the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, the disposition of pending claims will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

The Company leases certain equipment, vehicles and operating facilities under non-cancellable operating leases that expire on various dates through 2014. The future minimum lease payments required under these leases are approximately $541 for the remainder of 2007, $863 in 2008, $770 in 2009, $657 in 2010, $500 in 2011, $226 in 2012, and $98 thereafter. Rent expense for continuing operations related all to operating leases for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 was approximately $246 and $303, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 was approximately $527 and $596, respectively.

At June 30, 2007, firm commitments to vendors to purchase components used in WAVE Systems and instruments manufactured by others totaled $1,254. The Company expects to satisfy these purchase commitments during 2007.

H.	INCOME TAXES

In July 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 applies to all tax positions within the scope of Statement 109 and clarifies when and how to recognize tax benefits in the financial statements with a two-step approach of recognition and measurement. The Company adopted FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. Under FIN 48, tax benefits are recognized only for tax positions that are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. The amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is more than likely not to be realized upon ultimate settlement. Unrecognized tax benefits are tax benefits claimed in the Company’s tax returns that do not meet these recognition and measurement standards.

Upon adoption of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007, the Company recognized a $129 increase in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits. This increase in the liability was offset by an increase to the January 1, 2007 balance in the accumulated deficit. The gross amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of the date of adoption was $129, all of which would affect the effective tax rate if recognized. Included in this amount is an aggregate of $72 of interest and penalties. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties directly related to income taxes as part of income tax expense.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various U.S. state jurisdictions and various foreign jurisdictions. The Company has statutes of limitation open for Federal income tax returns related to tax years 2004 through 2006. The Company has state income tax returns subject to examination primarily for tax years 2003 through 2006. Open tax years related to foreign jurisdictions remain subject to examination. The Company’s primary foreign jurisdiction is the United Kingdom which has open tax years for 2005 through 2006. The Company is not currently under examination in any jurisdiction.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, there were no material changes to the liability for uncertain tax positions.

I.	EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN

The Company maintains an employee 401(k) retirement savings plan that allows for voluntary contributions into designated investment funds by eligible employees. The Company matches the employees’ contributions at the rate of 50% on the first 6% of contributions. The Company may, at the discretion of its Board of Directors, make additional contributions on behalf of the Plan’s participants. Company contributions to the 401(k) plan were $39 and $41 for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and $81 and $83 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

J.	STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Common Stock Warrants.

No common stock warrants were issued during the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 or 2006. At June 30, 2007, the Company had 8,062,577 common stock warrants outstanding.

Balance at June 30, 2007	4,112,564		$	3.72

Exercisable at June 30, 2007	3,442,564		$	4.32

During the six months ended June 30, 2007, the Company granted 345,000 stock options at a weighted average exercise price of $0.73 under its 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (formerly, the 1997 Stock Option Plan). The weighted average grant date fair value per share of options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $0.56.

During the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, the Company recorded compensation expense of $46 and $0, respectively, within the general administrative expense related to the vesting of 685,000 and 0 options, respectively during these periods. The fair value of the options was estimated on their respective grant dates using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Black-Scholes model was used with the following assumptions: risk-free interest rates of 4.71% to 5.08%, based on the U.S. Treasury yield in effect at the time of grant; dividend yields of zero percent; expected lives of 2 to 10 years, based on historical exercise activity behavior; and volatility of 89.14% and 79.10% for grants issued for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and June 30, 2007, respectively, based on the historical volatility of our stock over a time that is consistent with the expected life of the option. As of June 30, 2007, there was $272 of unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested stock options, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of nearly three years.

Item 2.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview

We develop, assemble, manufacture and market versatile products for the synthesis, purification and analysis of nucleic acids used in life sciences industry for research focused on molecular genetics and diagnostics. We also provide analytical services to the medical research, clinical and pharmaceutical markets for use in genetic variation analysis. Products and services are sold through a direct sales force in the United States and throughout much of Western Europe. For the rest of the world, products and services are sold through more than 35 dealers and distributors located in those local markets. Net sales are categorized as bioinstruments, bioconsumables and discovery services.

•

Bioinstruments. Our flagship product is the WAVE System which has broad applicability to genetic variation detection in both molecular genetic research and molecular diagnostics. There is a worldwide installed base of over 1,375 WAVE Systems as of June 30, 2007. We also sell a number of complementary equipment platforms manufactured by others (“OEM Instruments”). Service contracts to maintain installed systems are sold and supported by technical support personnel.

•

Bioconsumables. The installed WAVE base and some third-party installed platforms generate a demand for consumables that are required for the system’s continued operation. We develop, manufacture and sell these products. In addition, we manufacture and sell consumable products that can be used on a number of equipment platforms manufactured by others. These products include SURVEYOR Nuclease and a range of HPLC separation columns.

•

Discovery Services. We provide various genetic laboratory services through a contract research lab in Gaithersburg, Maryland and a second laboratory in Omaha, Nebraska. The lab in Omaha operates in a Good Laboratory Practices (“GLP”) compliant environment and is certified under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendment (“CLIA”). The services provided by our labs primarily include (1) genomic biomarker analysis services to pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical companies to support preclinical and clinical development of targeted therapeutics, and (2) molecular-based medical testing services for hematology, oncology and certain inherited diseases for physicians and third-party laboratories.

Historically, we operated a segment (the “Nucleic Acids operating segment”) that developed, manufactured and marketed chemical building blocks for nucleic acid synthesis to biotechnology, pharmaceutical and oligonucleotide synthesis companies and research institutions throughout the world. In the fourth quarter of 2005, we implemented a plan to exit this operating segment. Accordingly, results of this operating segment are reflected as discontinued operations for all periods presented in this filing. In the first quarter of 2007, the Company completed the sale of the remaining assets associated with the segment.

Executive Summary

Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2007 increased by 1%, compared to the same period in 2006. The increase is all attributable to our Discovery Services products. Net sales from bioinstruments were down 10%. Fewer WAVE sales were the cause of this decrease. Net sales from bioconsumables were down by 3%. Net sales from Discovery Services grew more than 300%, or $521,000, compared to the same quarter in 2006. The majority of the increase was related to the CLIA laboratory services. We also had strong sequential quarter over quarter growth in sales of CLIA laboratory services of 82%, or $300,000 in net sales. We continue to see improvement in gross margins. Our gross profit margins improved from 49% in the second quarter of 2006 to 54% in the current quarter ended June 30, 2007. The largest contributor to this increase is our Discovery Services product line which went from a negative gross profit in both the second quarter of 2006 and the first quarter of 2007 to a positive gross profit margin of 29% in the quarter ended June 30, 2007. Overall operating expenses included $624,000 of restructuring charges, primarily related to closings in France and the United Kingdom. Net profit was $226,000 for the second quarter ended June 30, 2007. This included two non-recurring items. First, we completed the sale of an investment in equity securities realizing a gain of $937,500. The second item noted above was the $624,000 of restructuring charges. As of the end of the second quarter ended June 30, 2007, we had cash and cash equivalents of $7.9 million and believe we will have sufficient liquidity to meet our operating needs throughout the year.

Outlook

We continue to work toward our objective of generating income from continuing operations and positive cash flows from continuing operations. To accomplish these goals, we must generate growth in net sales and continue to control manufacturing and other operating expenses. Sales of bioinstruments, including both our WAVE System and instruments we

sell for other manufacturers, continue to be affected by competition from other technologies. In addition, ongoing changes in the marketplace and the funding arrangements of our customers have led to sporadic sales in some markets. We continue to work to develop new applications for our WAVE System in an attempt to expand its market and sales. Sales of our OEM instruments continue to be a priority. We are also focusing increased efforts to expand our Discovery Services sales. In particular, the growth in our CLIA laboratory services has been promising and we believe we will continue to see ongoing growth from this business. We recently announced further cost reduction initiatives, including the closing of facilities in Europe. While the effects of these efforts have not been realized in the first half of 2007, we expect to see a more noticeable impact in the second half of the year.

Results of Continuing Operations

Three Months Ended June 30, 2007 and 2006

Net Sales. Net sales consisted of the following (dollars in thousands):


	Three Months Ended June 30,				Change
	2007		2006		$			%
Bioinstruments	$	3,383	$	3,743	$	(360	)	(10	)%
Bioconsumables		2,218		2,296		(78	)	(3	)%
Discovery Services		671		150		521		347	%

Net sales	$	6,272	$	6,189	$	83		1	%

The bioinstrument net sales decrease of 10% was due to fewer WAVE Systems being sold. Sixteen WAVE Systems were sold during the three months ended June 30, 2007, compared to 24 during the same period of 2006. WAVE sales in each period include sales of refurbished WAVEs. This decrease resulted from lower demand primarily in our largest markets throughout Western Europe. The sale of OEM instruments increased from 2 in the three months ended June 30, 2006 to 3 in the same period in 2007. There are significant competitive challenges from traditional (i.e. sequencing) and evolving technologies. Net sales of consumables related to our WAVE Systems and other third-party instruments were down slightly year over year, primarily related to our separations product. The largest growth was in our discovery services net sales. The 347% increase was all attributable to CLIA laboratory services.

Costs of Goods Sold. Costs of goods sold include material costs for the products that we sell and substantially all other costs associated with our manufacturing facilities (primarily personnel costs, rent and depreciation). It also includes direct costs (primarily personnel costs, rent, supplies and depreciation) associated with our discovery services operations. Cost of goods sold consisted of the following (dollars in thousands):


	Three Months Ended June 30,				Change
	2007		2006		$			%
Bioinstruments	$	1,368	$	1,492	$	(124	)	(8	)%
Bioconsumables		1,013		1,222		(209	)	(17	)%
Discovery Services		478		426		52		12	%

Cost of goods sold	$	2,859	$	3,140	$	(281	)	(9	)%

Gross profit was $3.4 million or 54% of total net sales during the three months ended June 30, 2007, compared to $3.0 million or 49% during the same period of 2006. Although net sales declined, gross profits as percentage of net sales increased due to lower consumable material and manufacturing costs and also due to the leverage of the discovery services costs. Some of the decrease in manufacturing costs was due to a shifting of personnel to research and development efforts. The Company continues to have a large fixed expense base outside of direct material costs. Discovery services costs have a large fixed component, so increases in net sales drive gross profit improvement.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses primarily consist of personnel costs, marketing, travel and entertainment costs, professional fees, and facility costs. These costs totaled $3.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2007, compared to $2.8 million during the same period of 2006, an increase of $0.3 million or 11%. This increase was primarily due to increased compensation expense associated with personnel reassigned from Nucleic Acids production. These expenses are consistent with the third and fourth quarters of 2006 which we believe is a better comparison as all three quarters are comparable with no realignment of expenses between areas.

Research and development expenses totaled 8% and 9% of net sales during the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Restructuring Charges. Restructuring charges consist of costs related to a reduction in force at our Omaha, Nebraska facility, ongoing activities to close a production facility in Cramlington, England, and ongoing activities to close an administrative office outside of Paris, France.

Other Income (Expense). Other income during the three months ended June 30, 2007 was $1.0 million as compared to less than $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006. The increase was attributable to the sale of an investment in equity securities. On May 10, 2007, the Company sold 250,000 shares of stock in Pinnacle Pharmaceuticals, Inc. at a price of $3.75 per share. Gross proceeds realized from the sale were $937,500 which resulted in a gain of $937,500 and is reflected in other income during the period. Remaining other income consisted primarily of interest income from cash and cash equivalents invested in overnight instruments.

Income Tax Expense. In July 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation (“FIN”) No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. FIN 48 applies to all tax positions within the scope of Statement 109 and clarifies when and how to recognize tax benefits in the financial statements with a two-step approach of recognition and measurement. We adopted FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. Under FIN 48, tax benefits are recognized only for tax positions that are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. The amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is more likely than not to be realized upon ultimate settlement. Unrecognized tax benefits are tax benefits claimed in our tax returns that do not meet these recognition and measurement standards.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2007 and 2006

Net Sales. Net sales consisted of the following (dollars in thousands):


	Six Months Ended June 30,				Change
	2007		2006		$			%
Bioinstruments	$	6,006	$	7,784	$	(1,778	)	(23	)%
Bioconsumables		4,448		4,540		(92	)	(2	)%
Discovery Services		1,040		362		678		187	%

Net sales	$	11,494	$	12,686	$	(1,192	)	(9	)%

The bioinstrument net sales decrease of 23% was due to fewer WAVE Systems and OEM instruments being sold. Thirty WAVE Systems were sold during the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared to 47 during the same period of 2006. There were 5 OEM instruments sold during the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to 8 during the same period in 2006. WAVE sales in each period include sales of refurbished WAVEs. This decrease resulted from lower demand in all major geographic markets and among both research and diagnostic users, particularly in our largest markets throughout Western Europe. There are significant competitive challenges from traditional (i.e. sequencing) and evolving technologies. Net sales of consumables related to our WAVE Systems and other third-party instruments were relatively flat year over year. The largest growth, an increase of 187%, was in discovery services, and all attributable to our CLIA laboratory services.


	Six Months Ended June 30,				Change
	2007		2006		$			%
Bioinstruments	$	2,359	$	3,252	$	(893	)	(27	)%
Bioconsumables		2,078		2,495		(417	)	(17	)%
Discovery Services		936		907		29		3	%

Cost of goods sold	$	5,373	$	6,654	$	(1,281	)	(19	)%

Gross profit was $6.1 million or 53% of total net sales during the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $6.0 million or 48% during the same period of 2006. Although net sales declined, gross profits as percentage of net sales increased due to lower costs for refurbished WAVE Systems, the mix of instruments sold, lower consumable material and manufacturing costs and the leverage related to the discovery services net sales. Some of the decrease in manufacturing costs was due to a shifting of personnel to research and development efforts. The Company continues to have a large fixed expense base outside of direct material costs. Discovery Services costs have a large fixed component, so increases in net sales drive gross profit improvement.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses primarily consist of personnel costs, marketing, travel and entertainment costs, professional fees, and facility costs. These costs totaled $6.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared to $5.5 million during the same period of 2006, an increase of $0.5 million or 9%. This increase was primarily due to increased compensation expense associated with personnel reassigned from Nucleic Acids production. These expenses are consistent with the third and fourth quarters of 2006 which we believe is a better comparison as all three quarters are comparable with no realignment of expenses between areas.

Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses primarily include personnel costs, outside services, supplies, and facility costs and are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. These costs totaled $1.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared to $1.1 million during the same period of 2006, an increase of $0.5 million, primarily from collaboration expense on new WAVE applications, increased compensation costs associated with personnel reassigned from Nucleic Acid production and patent costs for discovery services.

Research and development expenses totaled 13% and 9% of net sales during the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Other Income (Expense). Other income during the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 was $1.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively. The increase was attributable to the sale of an investment in equity securities. On May 10, 2007, the Company sold 250,000 shares of stock in Pinnacle Pharmaceuticals, Inc. at a price of $3.75 per share. Gross proceeds realized from the sale were $937,500 which resulted in a gain of $937,500 and is reflected in other income during the period. Remaining other income consisted primarily of interest income from cash and cash equivalents invested in overnight instruments.

Results of Discontinued Operations

Three Months Ended June 30, 2007 and 2006

In the fourth quarter of 2005, we implemented a plan to exit the Nucleic Acids operating segment. Accordingly, we now reflect the related results as discontinued operations for all periods presented. Expenses that are not directly identified to the Nucleic Acids operating segment or that are considered corporate overhead have not been allocated in arriving at the loss from discontinued operations. Summary results of operations of the former Nucleic Acids operating segment were as follows (in thousands):

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our working capital positions at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 were as follows (in thousands):


	June 30, 2007		December 31, 2006		Change
Current assets (including cash and cash equivalents of $7,883 and $5,868, respectively)	$	18,175	$	15,605	$	2,570
Current liabilities		5,507		5,329		(178	)

Working capital	$	12,668	$	10,276	$	2,392

The increase in working capital was largely driven by the proceeds from the sale of the Glasgow facility and related equipment for $2.9 million and the sale of an investment in equity securities of $0.9 million, offset by the net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2007.

Although we have experienced declining sales and recurring net losses (resulting in an accumulated deficit of $127 million at June 30, 2007), management believes existing sources of liquidity, including cash and cash equivalents of $7.9 million, are sufficient to meet expected cash needs through 2007. We will need to increase our net sales and further reduce operating expenses in order to meet our liquidity needs for the existing business on a long-term basis. We cannot assure you that we will be able to increase net sales or further reduce our expenses and, accordingly, we may not have sufficient sources of liquidity to continue operations of the Company indefinitely. If necessary, management believes they can further reduce costs and expenses to conserve working capital. However, such cost and expense reductions could have an adverse impact on the Company’s new product pipeline and ultimately net sales. The Company could also pursue additional financing, but ultimately, the Company must achieve sufficient net sales to consistently generate net income and cash flows.

Analysis of Cash Flows

Six Months Ended June 30, 2007 and 2006

Net Change in Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents increased $2.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to an increase of $0.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2006. The 2007 increase was the result of net cash provided by investing activities of $3.6 million, offset by net cash used by operating activities of $1.6 million. These were minimally offset from foreign currency exchange rates. The 2006 increase was similarly the result of net cash provided by operating activities of $0.7 million and the effect of foreign currency exchange rates of $0.1 million offset by net cash used in investing activities of $0.2 million.

Cash Flows used in Operating Activities. Cash flows used in operating activities totaled $1.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared to cash flows generated from operating activities of $0.7 million during the same period of 2006. The use of cash flows in 2007 related primarily to the gain on sale of an investment in equity securities of $0.9 million, as well as higher inventory levels of $0.6 million related to the OEM instruments.

Cash flows generated from operating activities in 2006 related primarily to a net loss of $0.7 million offset by non-cash charges of $1.0 million. Non-cash charges consisted of depreciation and amortization. Working capital and other adjustments increased cash flows from operating activities by $0.4 million.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities. Cash flows provided by investing activities totaled $3.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to cash flows used in investing activities of $0.2 million during the same period of 2006. Cash flows provided by investing activities in 2007 consisted primarily of sales proceeds from our Glasgow facility and equipment of $2.9 million and sales proceeds of an investment in equity securities of $0.9 million. Cash flows used by investing activities in 2006 consisted of purchases of property and equipment and patent costs.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities. Cash flows from financing activities were minimal during the six months ended June 30, 2007 and June 30, 2006.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

At June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, we did not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Accounting policies used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements may involve the use of management judgments and estimates. Certain of our accounting policies are considered critical as they are both important to the portrayal of our financial statements and they require significant or complex judgments on the part of management. Our judgments and estimates are based on experience and assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Further, we evaluate our judgments and estimates from time to time as circumstances change. Actual financial results based on judgments or estimates may vary under different assumptions or circumstances. Our critical accounting policies are discussed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006. There have been no significant changes with respect to these estimates during the six months ended June 30, 2007, except for the treatment of the contingency accruals.

Effective January 1, 2007, we began to measure and record tax contingency accruals in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (“FIN 48”). Under FIN 48, tax benefits are recognized only for tax positions that are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. The amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is more than likely not to be realized upon ultimate settlement. Unrecognized tax benefits are tax benefits claimed in our tax returns that do not meet these recognition and measurement standards. For additional information on the adoption of FIN 48, see Note H in Part I, Item 1 of this report.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Please refer to our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006. There have been no changes to those listed except as noted in Note B.

Impact of Inflation

We do not believe that price inflation had a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations during the periods presented.

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Foreign Currency Translation Risk. During the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, our international sales represented more than 68% of our net sales. These sales of products in foreign countries are mainly completed in either British Pounds Sterling or the Euro. Additionally, we have two wholly-owned subsidiaries, Transgenomic Limited, and Cruachem Limited, whose operating currencies are British Pounds Sterling and the Euro. Results of operations for our foreign subsidiaries are translated using the average exchange rate during the period. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate in effect on the balance sheet dates. As a result we are subject to exchange rate risk. The operational expenses of our foreign subsidiaries help to reduce the currency exposure we have based on our sales denominated in foreign currencies by converting foreign currencies directly into goods and services. As such, we feel we do not have a material exposure to foreign currency rate fluctuations at this time.

Item 4.

Controls and Procedures

(a)

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. A review and evaluation was performed by our President, Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Based on that review and evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures, as designed and implemented, were effective in assuring that information required to be disclosed is recorded, processed, summarized and reported in the reports we submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

(b)

Change in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.

Legal Proceedings

We are subject to a number of claims of various amounts which arise out of the normal course of business. In our opinion, the disposition of pending claims will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Item 1A.

Risk Factors

There have been no material changes in our risk factors from those described in Item 1A of our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006.
