Logistic services typically generate significantly less revenue per transaction than distribution sales. The significant growth in logistic services units handled resulted in the percentage of wireless devices handled under fee-based logistic service agreements to increase to 71% of total wireless devices handled as compared to 54% of the total wireless devices handled in the second quarter of 2004. Our Americas and Europe divisions were significant contributors to our unit growth with 99% and 66% year-over-year increases in wireless devices handled, respectively.

Wireless devices handled for the six months ended June 30, 2005 were up 48% in comparison to the six months ended June 30, 2004. While the number of wireless devices handled in logistic services and distribution increased from the first half of 2004, the growth in logistic services units handled outpaced the growth experienced in our distribution business. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, we experienced a 12% year-over-year increase in revenue. The percentage increase in revenue was less than the growth rate in wireless devices handled due to a sales mix-shift from units handled through distribution to fee-based logistic services.

Gross margins increased from 5.8% in the second quarter of 2004 to 6.0% for the second quarter of 2005. Gross margins for the six months ended June 30, 2005 increased to 5.9% compared to 5.6% for six months ended June 30, 2004. The increase in gross margin was driven by continued shifts in mix toward fee-based logistic services. In addition, the increase in gross margin reflects the positive impact of lower operating costs operating costs nplgastos mpl operacionales  relative to increased logistic services' unit volume partially offset by declines in logistic services' average selling prices The average sales price of goods or commodities. Especially used in the retail sector and technology distribution. .

SG&A expenses increased 20% from the second quarter of 2004, in comparison with a 13% increase in revenue and a 19% increase in gross profit. The $3.9 million increase in SG&A spending partially resulted from $900 thousand in employee related severance and settlement payments primarily related to the resignations of our Chief Accounting Officer and Chief Financial Officer as well as settlement of employee disputes in our France operation and Corporate headquarters and $400 thousand in legal and professional fees related to the evaluation of our internal controls and operations in France and Australia Australia (ôstrāl`yə), smallest continent, between the Indian and Pacific oceans. With the island state of Tasmania to the south, the continent makes up the Commonwealth of Australia, a federal parliamentary state (2005 est. pop. . Total spending was also impacted by an estimated $700 thousand unfavorable effect of the strengthening of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar, $900 thousand in increased costs in the Americas division related to the increased number of wireless devices handled in logistic services and $500 thousand in SG&A expense associated with our entry into the Slovak Republic and Finland Finland, Finnish Suomi (swô`mē), officially Republic of Finland, republic (2005 est. pop. 5,223,000), 130,119 sq mi (337,009 sq km), N Europe.  in the second half of 2004.

Operating income from continuing operations ("Operating Income") was $8.0 million, an increase of 12% from the second quarter of 2004 including $900 thousand in severance and employee related settlement payments, $800 thousand of losses relating to our France operations and $400 thousand in expenses related to the evaluation of our internal controls in France and Australia. The year-over-year growth in Operating Income was driven by an 88.4% increase in Operating Income for our Americas division and a 4.3% increase in Operating Income for our Asia Pacific division, partially offset by a $2.7 million decline in Operating Income in our Europe division. The increase in Operating Income in our Americas division was the result of growth in all lines of business and positive impact of decreased operating costs relative to increased logistic services' unit volume. The increase in Operating Income in our Asia Pacific division was primarily due to an increase in wireless devices sold in our Australia and New Zealand New Zealand (zē`lənd), island country (2005 est. pop. 4,035,000), 104,454 sq mi (270,534 sq km), in the S Pacific Ocean, over 1,000 mi (1,600 km) SE of Australia. The capital is Wellington; the largest city and leading port is Auckland.  operations partially offset by a decline in wireless devices sold through our Brightpoint Asia Limited business. The decline in Operating Income for the Europe division was primarily the result of an $800 thousand operating loss in our France operation, $233 thousand in severance and employee related settlements in our France operation and decreased demand for our products and services in Sweden.

Year-to-date Year-to-date (YTD)

The period beginning at the start of the calendar year up to the current date.
 Operating Income was $12.3 million, an increase of 8% from the first half of 2004. The year-to-date increase in Operating Income was primarily due to Operating Income growth in the Americas division offset by a $4.7 million operating loss in our Europe division and a $1.2 million facility consolidation charge in Australia in the first quarter of 2005.

Cash and cash equivalents (unrestricted) were $76 million, an increase of $4.3 million from March 31, 2005 and an increase of $17.6 million from June 30, 2004. The increase in cash and cash equivalents (unrestricted) from March 31, 2005 was primarily the result of $7.0 million in cash flow provided by operating activities offset by $3.8 million in capital expenditures and $4.6 million in share repurchases Share Repurchase
