Revenue for the second quarter of 2005 was $29.4 million, a 12% increase from $26.3 million in revenue in the second quarter of 2004. The increase in quarterly revenue was primarily attributable to increases at Digital Angel Corporation and to the additions of, and improvements with, the two acquired companies that are now part of VeriChip Corporation. Revenue for the six-months ended June 30, 2005 was $51.3 million, a decrease from the $52.8 million in revenue in the first half of 2004. This decrease in six-month revenue reflects a revenue decrease that occurred in the first quarter of 2005, which was primarily attributable to the termination of a low-margin contract between the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Government Telecommunications Communicating information, including data, text, pictures, voice and video over long distance.
