Alpharel Net Triples on 22% Revenue Gain

Alpharel Inc. said its second-quarter net income nearly tripled on a 22% revenue gain.

The Camarillo supplier of software for document managing earned $180,000 in the three months ended June 30, compared with a $61,000 profit a year earlier. Its revenue jumped to $1.7 million from $1.4 million in 1992’s second quarter.

For the six months, Alpharel’s profit climbed to $476,000 from $122,000, while revenue rose to $3.6 million from $2.8 million a year earlier.

Alpharel also said it received a $250,000 contract to provide a Canadian transporter and marketer of natural gas with an imaging system to manage engineering design drawings.

The deal with TransCanada Pipelines Ltd. in Calgary calls for delivery of the system, which will store and manage AutoCAD files, by November.
