Item 12. Results of Operations and Financial Condition

     On July 20, 2004, ChoicePoint Inc. (“ChoicePoint” or the “Company”) issued a press release announcing second quarter 2004 financial results. The press release is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

     The press release presented non-GAAP financial information such as operating income before other operating charges (which is not a measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles), which the Company believes is useful for investors to compare the Company’s 2003 results from ongoing operations excluding the effect of the realignment of our technology infrastructure and operations following the divestiture of our CPCS business, the transition to our new data center, the reengineering of certain of our direct marketing businesses and the further consolidation of some of our public records and workplace solutions operations. This data is also used by the Company for assessment of its operating results and in determining operational incentive awards.

     On July 20, 2004, ChoicePoint held an investor conference call and Webcast to disclose financial results for the second quarter of 2004. The Supplemental Information package that was placed on the ChoicePoint Inc. Website prior to this call is attached and incorporated by reference herein as Exhibit 99.2. All information in this Supplemental Information package is presented as of June 30, 2004, and ChoicePoint Inc. does not assume any obligation to correct or update said information in the future.
