The improvement in operating income before patent related income in the three and six month periods this year compared to the corresponding periods last year was primarily due to increased profitability in our biometrics business and lower general and administrative expenses.
Rick Moberg, Aware’s co-chief executive officer and chief financial officer, said, “We are pleased to report this is our eight consecutive profitable quarter on an operating and net income basis. We look forward to continuing to build our software and services business in upcoming quarters.”
