Revenue increased 42% and 41%, respectively for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, compared to the same periods in the prior year, primarily due to sales of 360-degree cameras from the immersive video product line. Gross profit for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 increased to 47% as compared with 42% and 41% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004. The increase in gross margin was due to sales of higher margin immersive video products in 2005.
Included in operating expenses in the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 is $1,819,388 of restructuring charges resulting from the plan management executed in the second quarter to abandon certain assets and a leased facility in conjunction with the sale of the AdMission business unit. IPIX completed the sale of its AdMission business unit on February 11, 2005, which was reported as discontinued operations in the first quarter of 2005 and prior years.
Increases in operating expenses were related to sales and marketing expenditures focused on building a direct sales force and an indirect channel sales team for the immersive video product line as well as related increases in marketing and trade show activity. As a result, the company made sales within the prison, education, law enforcement and retail markets during the second quarter, 2005.
General and administrative expenses increased as a result of additional personnel for general and administrative and information technology. Also contributing to the increase in general and administrative expenses were accounting, legal and consultant fees related to the Sarbanes-Oxley compliance and reporting of discontinued operations. Research and development expenses increased due to additions to IPIX's engineering resources focused on the integration of the IPIX IP camera into a variety of digital video recording (DVR) devices utilized in the surveillance market that IPIX addresses.
"Recent terror-related events worldwide have clearly demonstrated the need for more cameras and more sophisticated, intelligent video surveillance solutions, particularly for at-risk public and private institutions and critical infrastructures," said IPIX President and CEO Clara Conti. "As a leader in the emerging digital video marketplace, IPIX is positioned to stay at the technology forefront, as evidenced by our recent Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) contract to develop the world's highest resolution video camera and the investments we are making in research and development."
