DIGITAL ANGEL CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in thousands)
(Unaudited)

1.             The Company and Basis of Presentation

Digital Angel Corporation and its subsidiaries (“the Company”) develop and deploy sensor and communications technologies that enable rapid and accurate identification, location tracking, and condition monitoring of high-value assets. The Company operates in two segments: (1) Animal Applications and (2) GPS and Radio Communications.

Animal Applications— develops, manufactures, and markets a broad line of electronic and visual identification devices for the companion animal, livestock, fish and wildlife markets worldwide. The Animal Applications segment consists of our operations located in Minnesota, DSD Holdings A/S and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, located in Denmark and Poland, and Digital Angel International, Inc. and its subsidiaries located in Argentina and Brazil. The positive identification and tracking of cattle and hogs are crucial for asset management and for disease control and food safety. In addition to the visual ear tags which have been sold by the Company since the late 1940’s, Animal Applications utilizes radio frequency transmission (“RFID”) technologies in its electronic ear tags and implantable microchips.

GPS and Radio Communications— consists of the design, manufacture and support of global positioning system (“GPS”) enabled equipment. The GPS and Radio Communications segment consists of the Company’s subsidiaries Signature Industries Limited (90.9% owned), located in the United Kingdom and OuterLink Corporation, located in Massachusetts. Applications for the segment’s products include location tracking and message monitoring of vehicles, aircraft and people in remote locations through systems that integrate geosynchronous satellite communications and GPS enabled equipment and intelligent communications products and services for telemetry, mobile data and radio communications applications serving commercial and military markets. Technology development in this segment includes the integration and miniaturization into marketable products of two technologies: wireless communications and position location technology (including GPS and other systems).

On February 28, 2005, the Company acquired Denmark-based DSD Holdings A/S and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Daploma International A/S and Digitag A/S, including Daploma International A/S’s 70%-owned subsidiary, Daploma Polska. DSD Holdings A/S became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Digital Angel Corporation. DSD Holdings A/S produces visual and RFID tags. DSD Holdings A/S’s operations are included from the date of acquisition.

As of June 30, 2006, Applied Digital Solutions, Inc. (“Applied Digital” or “ADS”) owned 24,573,788 shares or approximately 55.2% of the Company’s common stock.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company as of June 30, 2006 and for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments (including normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary to present fairly the financial statements have been made.

The consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year. These statements should be read in conjunction with the Digital Angel Corporation’s audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2005 which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Certain items in the condensed consolidated financial statements for the 2005 periods have been reclassified for comparative purposes.

2.             Principles of Consolidation

The June 30, 2006 and 2005 condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries (DSD Holdings A/S operations are included from the date of acquisition, February 28, 2005). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

3.             Revenue Recognition

The Company, except for its subsidiary OuterLink Corporation, recognizes product revenue at the time product is shipped and title has transferred, provided that a purchase order has been received or a contract has been executed, there are no uncertainties regarding customer acceptance, the sales price is fixed and determinable and collectibility is deemed probable. If uncertainties regarding customer acceptance exist, revenue is recognized when such uncertainties are resolved. There are no significant post-contract support obligations at the time of revenue recognition. Digital Angel Corporation’s accounting policy regarding vendor and post contract support obligations is based on the terms of the customers’ contracts, billable upon occurrence of the post-sale support. Costs of products sold and services provided are recorded as the related revenue is recognized. Digital Angel Corporation offers a warranty on its products. For non-fixed and fixed fee jobs, service revenue is recognized based on the actual direct labor hours in the job multiplied by the standard billing rate and adjusted to net realizable value, if necessary. Other revenue is recognized at the time services or goods are provided. It is the Company’s policy to record contract losses in their entirety in the period in which such losses are foreseeable.

The Company’s subsidiary, OuterLink Corporation, earns revenue from messaging services and from the sale of related products to customers (communication terminals and software). OuterLink Corporation’s messaging service is only available through use of its products and such products have no alternative use. Accordingly, service revenue is recognized as the services are performed. OuterLink Corporation’s product revenue, for which title and risk of loss transfers to the customer on shipment, is deferred upon shipment and is recognized ratably over the estimated customer service period of 42 months in the six month period ended June 30, 2006 and 30 months in the six month period ended June 30, 2005.

The Company records a liability for product warranties at the time it is probable that a warranty liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company’s warranty liability was $34,000 as of June 30, 2006. Following is a reconciliation of the Company’s product warranties (in thousands):

4.             Stock-Based Compensation

On January 1, 2006 we adopted SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (SFAS 123R). SFAS 123R replaced SFAS No. 123 and supercedes APB Opinion No. 25. SFAS 123R requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values. The pro forma disclosures previously permitted under SFAS 123 are no longer an alternative to financial statement recognition. We adopted SFAS 123R using the modified prospective method which requires the application of the accounting standard as of January 1, 2006. Our consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2006 reflect the impact of adopting SFAS 123R. In accordance with the modified prospective method, the consolidated financial statements for prior periods have not been restated to reflect, and do not include, the impact of SFAS 123R. See Note 8, Stock Options and Restricted Stock for further details.

6.             Stock Exchange with Applied Digital Solutions, Inc.

On February 25, 2005, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with Applied Digital. The purpose of the stock exchange was to use the shares as partial consideration for the acquisition of DSD Holdings A/S and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Daploma International A/S and Digitag A/S, including Daploma International A/S’s 70%-owned subsidiary, Daploma Polska, as described more fully in Note 10. The Company and Applied Digital entered into the share exchange because of the selling shareholders’ desire, at the time the transaction was negotiated, to receive their consideration in Applied Digital common stock as opposed to the Company’s common stock. In addition, the stock purchase represented a strategic investment by Applied Digital whereby Applied Digital could increase its ownership interest in the Company. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company issued 644,140 shares of its common stock to Applied Digital. The Company received 684,543 shares of Applied Digital common stock as consideration. The exchange ratio of shares was based upon the average of the volume-weighted-average price of the Company’s common stock and Applied Digital’s common stock for the ten trading days immediately preceding, and not including, the transaction closing date which was $5.434 for the Company’s common stock and $5.113 for Applied Digital’s common stock. The value of the stock exchanged was $3.5 million.

7.             Discontinued Operations

In April 2004, our Board of Directors approved a plan to sell our Medical Systems segment. The Medical Systems segment represented the business operations of Medical Advisory Systems, Inc, which we acquired on March 27, 2002. The Medical Systems segment was one of our reporting units in accordance with SFAS 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information”. Accordingly, the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of our Medical Systems segment have been reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented. For the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, there were no losses attributable to the Medical Systems segment. The Company does not anticipate the Medical Systems division incurring additional losses in the future. However, in accordance with SFAS 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, any additional operating losses or changes in the values of assets or liabilities will be reflected in the financial condition and results of operations as incurred.

The net liabilities of discontinued operations as of June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, were comprised of accrued expenses aggregating $68,000 and $84,000, respectively.

8.             Stock Options and Restricted Stock

Stock Option Plans

As of June 30, 2006 the Company maintains the Amended and Restated Digital Angel Corporation Transition Stock Option Plan (“DAC Stock Option Plan”), which is described below, and has outstanding stock options which were issued pursuant to another plan which was terminated on February 23, 2006. On January 1, 2006 we adopted SFAS 123R, using the modified prospective transition method. Accordingly, during the six month period ended June 30, 2006 we recorded stock-based compensation expense for awards granted in 2006 and awards granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, as if the fair value method required for pro forma disclosure under SFAS 123 were in effect for expense recognition purposes. Upon adoption of SFAS 123R we elected to continue using the Black-Scholes option pricing and we have recognized compensation expense using a straight-line amortization method. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 we recorded $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively, (this amount includes compensation for options granted to non-employees and for restricted stock grants) in stock-based employee compensation expense.

As of June 30, 2006, the DAC Stock Option Plan, which is stockholder-approved, has 18,195,312 shares of common stock reserved for issuance, of which 17,701,516 shares have been issued and 493,796 remain available for issuance.  As of June 30, 2006 awards consisting of options to purchase 9,703,196 shares were outstanding under the DAC Stock Option Plan and awards consisting of options to purchase 476,820 shares were outstanding under the Company’s terminated stock option plan. Additionally, restricted stock awards for 154,230 shares of common stock have been granted under the DAC Stock Option Plan. Option awards are generally granted with exercise prices between market price and 110% of the market price of the Company’s stock at the date of grant; option awards generally vest over 3 to 9 years and have 10-year contractual terms. Certain option and share awards provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control (as defined in the DAC Stock Option Plan).

Stock Option Activity

The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes valuation model. The following assumptions were used for options granted in the six month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005.

Our computation of expected volatility is determined based on historical volatility. Our computation of expected life is determined based on historical experience of similar awards, giving consideration to the contractual terms of the stock-based awards, vesting schedules and expectations of future employee behavior. The interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

Pro Forma Information for Periods Prior to the Adoption of SFAS 123R

Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R, we provided the disclosures required under SFAS 123 as amended by SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosures.”  Employee stock-based compensation expenses recognized under SFAS 123 was not reflected in our results of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2005 for employee stock option awards as all stock options were granted with an exercise price greater than or equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. Previously reported results have not been restated.

On February 28, 2005, the Company acquired DSD Holdings A/S and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Daploma International A/S and Digitag A/S, including Daploma International A/S’s 70%-owned subsidiary. DSD Holdings A/S became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Digital Angel Corporation. Denmark-based DSD Holdings A/S through its subsidiaries manufactures and markets visual and electronic RFID tags for livestock. The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. The excess of purchase price over the fair value of the assets and liabilities of DSD Holdings A/S has been recorded as goodwill of $4.0 million and intangible assets of $2.0 million. The intangible assets are customer relationships, tradename, patents and a non-compete agreement. The customer relationships, patents and a non-compete agreement are being amortized over periods ranging from 3 to 15 years. Amortization recorded in the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 was $90,000 and $100,000, respectively.

Under the terms of the DSD Holdings A/S acquisition, the Company purchased all of the outstanding capital stock of DSD Holdings A/S in consideration for a purchase price of seven times DSD Holdings A/S’s average annual EBITDA over the next three years less outstanding indebtedness at the end of the time period. An initial payment of $3.5 million was made at closing through the delivery of Applied Digital common stock valued at $3.5 million which the Company acquired from Applied Digital in exchange for $3.5 million of Digital Angel Corporation common stock. To account for pre-closing pricing fluctuations the Company paid additional consideration of $195,000 to the shareholders of DSD Holdings A/S on June 7, 2005.

Pursuant to the terms of the stock purchase agreement, at any time between the closing date of the acquisition and December 31, 2006 the Company had the right to buyout the remaining purchase price.  On April 13, 2006, Digital Angel exercised its right to buyout the remaining purchase price by electing to pay the set amount of $2.0 million. The $2.0 million buyout price was satisfied by a cash payment of $1.0 million made on April 13, 2006 and the issuance on June 8, 2006 of $1.0 million worth of Digital Angel’s unregistered common stock, or 282,115 shares. The number of shares of Digital Angel’s common stock that were exchanged was determined based upon the average of the volume-weighted-average price of Digital Angel’s common stock for the 10 trading days prior to the closing date of the share exchange agreement, or $3.545 per share.  LANO Holdings Aps, wholly owned by Lasse Nordfjeld, and Torsten Nordfjeld received 174,403 shares and 28,268 shares, respectively, of the 282,115 shares issued to the former shareholders of DSD.  The $2.0 million buyout price was recorded as additional goodwill.

Applied Digital and the former shareholders of DSD agreed to exchange, per the terms of a share exchange agreement dated April 12, 2006, registered shares of Applied Digital’s common stock for the unregistered shares of the Company’s common stock paid by the Company to the former shareholders of DSD pursuant to the buyout agreement. Pursuant to the share exchange agreement, Applied Digital issued to the former shareholders of DSD 454,545 shares of Applied Digital’s common stock, valued at $972,249 and $27,751 in cash in exchange for the 282,115 shares of Digital Angel common stock that the former shareholders of DSD received from the Company in partial payment of the buyout, as more fully discussed above. The number of shares of Applied Digital common stock that were exchanged was determined based upon the average of the volume-weighted-average price of our common stock for the two trading days immediately preceding, and not including, the transaction closing date of June 8, 2006, which was $2.14 per share.

In addition, on February 28, 2005 Digital Angel entered into employment agreements with the Chief Executive Officer of DSD Holdings A/S and its subsidiaries, Lasse Nordfjeld and his son, the President of Daploma, Torsten Nordfjeld.

Digital Angel Corporation operates DSD Holdings A/S and its operating subsidiaries from their current headquarters near Copenhagen, Denmark.

The results of DSD Holdings A/S have been included in the consolidated financial statements since its date of acquisition. Unaudited pro forma results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2005 are included below. Such pro forma information assumes that the above acquisition had occurred as of January 1, 2005, and revenue is presented in accordance with the Company’s accounting policies. This summary is not necessarily indicative of what the results of operations of the Company would have been had it been a combined entity during such periods, nor does it purport to represent results of operations for any future periods.

11.          Litigation

Digital Angel Corporation vs. Allflex USA, Inc and Pet Health Services (USA), Inc.

On October 20, 2004, the Company commenced an action in the United Stated District Court for the District of Minnesota against AllFlex USA, Inc. and Pet Health Services (USA), Inc. This suit claimed that Allflex was marketing and selling a syringe implantable identification transponder that infringed a 1993 patent granted to the Company for syringe implantable identification

13




 

transponders previously found by the United States District Court for the District of Colorado to be enforceable. The suit also claimed that PetHealth was using, selling and/or distributing the same transponder in violation of the Company’s patent. The suit sought, among other things, an adjudication of infringement and that the infringing parties be enjoined from further improper action. The suit sought actual damages, punitive damages and interest, costs and attorneys’ fees. Allflex asserted a counterclaim for breach of contract of an existing license agreement between the Company and Allflex and asserted a counterclaim seeking a declaration of the parties’ rights and obligations under the license agreement. Allflex also moved for a judgment on the pleadings, asserting that the license agreement should act as a bar to a case for infringement. The Company contested the motion on the ground that Allflex’s actions exceed the scope of the license and constituted an impermissible infringement of the patent and asked the Court for leave to amend the complaint to assert a claim for infringement of a separate patent licensed exclusively to the Company by Bio Medic Data Systems. On June 23, 2005, the Court issued a ruling granting the Defendant’s motion for judgment on the pleadings and denying the Company’s motion for leave to amend.

On July 21, 2005, Allflex filed an action in the United Stated District Court for the Northern District of Texas seeking a declaratory judgment that it did not infringe the Bio Medic patent. The Company has not been served with this complaint and Allflex agreed to withdraw the complaint without prejudice.

On September 28, 2005, Allflex sought an award of attorneys fees and costs based on a fee-shifting clause in the license agreement and under 35 U.S.C. §285, which provides for an award of attorneys fees and costs in exceptional cases. The Company contested this motion, and on October 6, 2005, the Court denied the motion in its entirety.

Final judgment in the action was entered on February 21, 2006. On March 20, 2006, the Company filed a notice of appeal of the final judgment with the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals in Washington, D.C. The appeal is presently pending.

Digital Angel Corporation vs. Datamars, Inc., Datamars, S.A., The Crystal Import Corporation and Medical Management International, Inc.

On October 20, 2004, the Company commenced an action in the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota against Datamars, Inc., Datamars, S.A., The Crystal Import Corporation, and Medical Management International, Inc. (“Banfield”). This suit claims that the defendants are marketing and selling syringe implantable identification transponders manufactured by Datamars that infringe the Company’s 1993 patent for syringe implantable identification transponders previously found by the United States District Court for the District of Colorado to be enforceable. Certain of the locations in which the infringing transponders are or have been sold, include, but are not limited to, “Banfield, The Pet Hospital” of which certain locations are associated with PetSmart stores. The suit seeks, among other things, an adjudication of infringement and that the infringing parties be enjoined from further improper action. The suit also seeks actual damages, punitive damages and interest, costs and attorneys’ fees. The Company believes that the suit is well-grounded in law and fact. Discovery in the action has been commenced and is continuing. On February 28, 2006, the Court conducted a hearing (the “Markman Hearing”) in which each of the parties presented the Court with their views regarding the scope of the claims set forth in the subject patent. On May 22, 2006, the Court issued its order on the Markman Hearing, largely adopting Digital Angel’s views on the scope of the claims in the subject patent.  The parties are continuing discovery in light of that order.

Crystal Import Corporation v. Digital Angel, et al.

On or about December 29, 2004, The Crystal Import Corporation filed an action against AVID Identification Systems, Inc. and the Company in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Alabama. Crystal’s complaint primarily asserted federal and state antitrust and related claims against AVID, though it also asserted similar claims against the Company. The Company filed a motion to dismiss the action for failure to state a claim on which relief could be granted, or in the alternative, to have the action transferred to the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota. On October 12, 2005, the Alabama Court denied the Company’s motion to dismiss the complaint, but granted the Company’s motion to transfer the action to Minnesota. Following the docketing of the action in Minnesota, the Company and AVID filed a motion seeking to stay the case until the corresponding patent infringement actions have been resolved. Prior to the hearing on the motion, an agreement was reached pursuant to which the Court entered an order on July 12, 2006 staying the action for 90 days with permission to seek an additional stay thereafter. Given the uncertainties associated with all litigation and given the early stage of this proceeding, the Company is unable to offer any assessment on the potential liability exposure, if any, to the Company from this lawsuit.

Digital Angel Corporation v. Corporativo SCM, S.A. de C.V.

On or about June 2, 2005, the Company filed a declaratory judgment action in the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota seeking to have the Court determine the rights and liabilities of the Company under a 2002 distribution agreement with Corporativo SCM, S.A. de C.V., a Mexican company which entered into a distribution agreement for a product that was then under development by the Company but the development of which was subsequently abandoned. Although the distribution agreement required that any actions arising out of or related to the agreement be filed within two years of the occurrence of the events giving rise to the claim, the Company received a letter in 2005 from the defendant threatening to assert a claim notwithstanding the two year limit set forth in the agreement. The defendant accordingly filed a motion to dismiss the declaratory judgment action, which the Court

denied. On or about January 10, 2006, the defendant filed an answer and asserted a counterclaim against the Company for fraud seeking damages in an amount in excess of $75,000. The Company filed a response denying the allegations of the counterclaim, and moved to dismiss the counterclaim because it was not timely and failed to plead fraud with particularlity. The Court denied the Company’s motion to dismiss on May 8, 2006 and the Company filed an Answer to the Amended Counterclaim that, among other things, denies the allegations of the Amended Counterclaim and asserts affirmative defenses.  The case is in the initial discovery stages.  Given the uncertainties associated with all litigation and given the early stage of this proceeding, the Company is unable to offer any assessment on the potential liability exposure, if any, to the Company from this lawsuit.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2006 Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2005

Revenue

Total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2006 decreased $1.9 million, or 12.8%, to $13.0 million when compared to $14.9 million in revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2005.

The Animal Applications segment’s revenue increased approximately $39,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2006 compared to the three month period ended June 30, 2005. Revenue for the three month period ended June 30, 2006 consisted primarily of electronic and visual product sales to livestock customers of approximately $4.5 million, sales to companion animal customers of approximately $3.0 million and sales to fish and wildlife customers of $0.9 million.

The GPS and Radio Communications segment’s revenue decreased approximately $1.9 million, or 29.8% to approximately $4.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2006 from approximately $6.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2005. The decrease in revenue was due to an approximately $2.1 million decrease in sales of Signature’s Sarbe products, offset by an increase in sales at Signature’s Radio Hire division of approximately $0.2 million. We attribute $1.2 million of the Sarbe product sales decrease to the completion of the Indian government contract in May 2005 and $0.9 million of the Sarbe product sales decrease to other Sarbe product customers, including the UK Ministry of Defence.

Gross Profit and Gross Profit Margin

Gross profit for the three month period ended June 30, 2006 was approximately $5.1 million, a decrease of approximately $1.6 million, or 23.8%, compared to approximately $6.6 million in the three month period ended June 30, 2005. As a percentage of revenue, the gross profit margin decreased to 39.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2006 from 44.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2005.

The Animal Applications segment’s gross profit decreased approximately $0.4 million, or 11.6%, in the three month period ended June 30, 2006 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2005. The gross margin percentage was 33.5% for the three month period ended June 30, 2006 compared to 38.1% for the three month period ended June 30, 2005. We attribute the decrease in gross margin and gross margin percentage to additional freight and importation duties associated with providing inventory to South America from Denmark and the United States.  The Company has initiated manufacturing of livestock tags in Argentina and anticipates that gross margins on South American sales will improve in the second half of 2006. Gross profit margin for the three months ended June 30, 2006 excluding the impact of the South American initiative would have been 35.1%.

The GPS and Radio Communications segment’s gross profit decreased approximately $1.2 million, or 34.9%, in the three month period ended June 30, 2006 as compared to the three month period ended June 30, 2005. The decrease in gross profit relates to the decrease in sales and decreased gross margin percentage. The gross margin percentage decreased to 49.2% in the three month period ended June 30, 2006 as compared to 53.1% in the three month period ended June 30, 2005. The decrease in gross margin percentage relates primarily to higher margins on G2R Sarbe locator beacons shipped under the contract with the government of India in the three months ended June 30, 2005. Signature completed shipments under the contract with the government of India in May 2005.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased approximately $0.1 million, or 1.9%, in the three month period ended June 30, 2006 as compared to the three month period ended June 30, 2005. As a percentage of revenue, selling, general and administrative expenses were 46.3% and 41.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

percentage of revenue, selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 54.8% in the three month period ended June 30, 2006 from 39.2% in the three month period ended June 30, 2005. The increase in selling, general and administrative expense as a percentage of sales resulted primarily from the decrease in sales in the current period.

All of the Company’s out-of-the money, unvested stock options issued to current employees, officers and directors prior to November 15, 2005 were vested on December 30, 2005, therefore equity based compensation expense related to stock options granted prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R was immaterial.  On June 14, 2006 the Company granted 2.1 million stock options to employees and directors of Digital Angel Corporation.  Compensation expense related to the 2.1 million stock options is expected to be approximately $4.5 million and will be recognized over the weighted average period of 7.2 years.

Research and Development Expense

Research and development expense was approximately $1.2 million in the three month period ended June 30, 2006 compared to approximately $1.1 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2005.

30, 2006 compared to the six month period ended June 30, 2005. The increase in revenue was principally due to an increase in electronic and visual product sales to livestock customers of approximately $2.0 million, an increase in sales to companion animal customers of approximately $2.0 million, and $0.5 million to the inclusion of DSD Holdings A/S for an additional two months of operations in the six months ended June 30, 2006.  DSD Holdings A/S was acquired on February 25, 2005.  The increases in the Animal Application segment are offset by a decrease in sales to fish and wildlife customers of $0.9 million and a decrease in sales to VeriChip Corporation of $0.3 million.

The GPS and Radio Communications segment’s revenue decreased approximately $2.7 million, or 23.5% to approximately $8.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2006 from approximately $11.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2005. The decrease in revenue was due to an approximately $3.2 million decrease in sales of Signature’s Sarbe products, offset by an increase in sales at Signature’s Radio Hire division of approximately $0.5 million. We attribute $2.2 million of the Sarbe product sales decrease to the completion of the Indian government contract in May 2005 and $1.0 million of the Sarbe product sales decrease to other Sarbe product customers, including the UK Ministry of Defence.

The Animal Applications segment’s gross profit increased approximately $0.9 million, or 13.2%, in the six month period ended June 30, 2006 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2005. We attribute approximately $0.5 million of the increase to the previously mentioned sales increases and $0.4 million to the inclusion of DSD Holdings A/S for an additional two months of operations in the six month period ended June 30, 2006. DSD Holdings A/S was acquired on February 28, 2005. The gross margin percentage was 37.5% for the six month period ended June 30, 2006 compared to 39.6% for the six month period ended June 30, 2005. We attribute the decrease in gross margin percentage to additional freight and importation duties associated with providing inventory to South America from Denmark and the United States.  The Company has initiated manufacturing of livestock tags in Argentina and anticipates that gross margins on South American sales will improve in the second half of 2006. Gross profit margin for the six months ended June 30, 2006 excluding the impact of the South American initiative would have been 38.9%.

The GPS and Radio Communications segment’s gross profit decreased approximately $1.7 million, or 27.5%, in the six month period ended June 30, 2006 as compared to the six month period ended June 30, 2005. The decrease in gross profit relates to the decrease in sales and decreased gross margin percentage. The gross margin percentage decreased to 49.2% in the six month period ended June 30, 2006 as compared to 52.0% in the six month period ended June 30, 2005. The decrease in gross margin percentage relates primarily to higher margins on G2R Sarbe locator beacons shipped under the contract with the government of India in the first six months of 2005.  Signature completed shipments under the contract with the government of India in May 2005.

In the first six months of 2006, the use of cash was due primarily to an increase in inventory of approximately $1.7 million, and a decrease in accounts payable, accrued expenses and deferred revenue of approximately $1.7 million. Offsetting these uses of cash was depreciation and amortization of approximately $1.0 million and non-cash equity based compensation of approximately $0.3 million.

Investing activities used cash of approximately $1.6 million and approximately $1.8 million in the first six months of 2006 and 2005, respectively. The Company purchased approximately $0.7 million of property and equipment in the first six months of 2006 and 2005.  On April 13, 2006 the Company exercised its right to buyout the remaining purchase price for the acquisition of DSD Holdings. The $2 million buyout price was satisfied by a cash payment of $1 million paid in April 2006 and $1 million worth of the Company’s unregistered common stock issued in June 2006.

Financing activities provided cash of approximately $0.5 million in the first six months of 2006 and used cash of approximately $1.7 million in the first six months of 2005. In the first six months of 2006, proceeds to the Company related to stock option exercises were approximately $0.6 million.  In the first six months of 2005, approximately $1.5 million of cash was used for the purchase of 328,100 shares of treasury stock.

The Company expects that current available funds will adequately fund the Company’s operations for the next twelve months.

Debt, Covenant Compliance and Liquidity

Invoice Discounting Agreement On April 9, 2003, Signature Industries Limited entered into a two-year Invoice Discounting Agreement with The Royal Bank of Scotland Commercial Services Limited (“RBS”). The Invoice Discounting Agreement, as amended October 28, 2003 and June 21, 2005, provides for Signature to sell with full title guarantee most of its receivables, as defined in the Invoice Discounting Agreement, as amended. RBS prepays 80% of the receivables sold in the United Kingdom and 75% of the receivables sold in the rest of the world, not to exceed an outstanding balance of £750,000 ($1.3 million at June 30, 2006) at any given time. RBS pays Signature the remainder of the receivable upon collection of the receivable. Receivables which remain outstanding 90 days from the end of the invoice month become ineligible and RBS may require Signature to repurchase the receivable back. The discounting charge accrues daily at an annual rate of 1.85% above the base rate, as defined in the amended Invoice Discounting Agreement (6.35% at June 30, 2006). Signature pays a commission charge to RBS of 0.16% of each receivable balance sold. The Invoice Discounting Agreement, as amended, requires a minimum commission charge of £833 per month. Discounting charges of $21,000 and $11,000 are included in interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. As of June 30, 2006, $0.4 million of receivables were financed under the Invoice Discounting Agreement.

IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In December 2004, SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (SFAS 123R) was issued. SFAS 123R replaced SFAS No. 123 and supercedes APB Opinion No. 25. SFAS 123R requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values. The pro forma disclosures previously permitted under SFAS 123 are longer an alternative to financial statement recognition.

On January 1, 2006 we adopted the provisions of SFAS 123R, using the modified prospective transition method. Accordingly, during the six months ended June 30, 2006 we recorded stock-based compensation expense for awards granted in 2006 and awards granted prior to, but not vested as of January 1, 2006, as if the fair value method required for pro forma disclosure under SFAS 123 were in effect for expense recognition purposes. In accordance with modified prospective transition method prior periods have not been restated. However, the pro forma effects of recognizing the estimated fair value of stock based compensation for the first quarter of 2005 are disclosed in Note 8 of the Notes to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Upon adoption of SFAS 123R we elected to continue using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and have recognized compensation expense using a straight-line amortization method.

All of the Company’s out-of-the-money, unvested stock options issued to current employees, officers and directors prior to November 15, 2005 were vested on December 30, 2005, and, therefore, the initial adoption of SFAS 123R did not have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations and earnings (loss) per share. The purpose of the accelerated vesting was to enable the Company to avoid recognizing in our statements of operations non-cash compensation expense associated with the options in future periods. As a result of the acceleration, we avoided recognition of approximately $8.6 million of compensation expense in our statement of operations over the course of the original vesting periods. Such expense was included in our pro forma stock-based compensation footnote disclosure for the quarter ended December 31, 2005. The majority of the accelerated options, absent the acceleration, would have been vested in 2006, with a smaller percentage vesting over the next 30 months. As of June 30, 2006, there was $4.9 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the DAC Stock Option Plan.  That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 6.6 years.

Although the initial adoption of SFAS 123R did not have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations and

22




 

earnings (loss) per share, as we grant more options or other share based compensation to employees, we expect that the impact may be material.

In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FAS No. 109” (FIN 48), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. Currently, the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes is subject to significant and varied interpretations that have resulted in diverse and inconsistent accounting practices and measurements. Addressing such diversity, FIN 48 prescribes a consistent recognition threshold and measurement attribute, as well as clear criteria for subsequently recognizing, derecognizing and measuring changes in such tax positions for financial statement purposes. FIN 48 also requires expanded disclosure with respect to the uncertainty in income taxes. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. We have not yet determined the impact of FIN 48 on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows or financial statement disclosures.

Forward-Looking Statements and Associated Risks

This Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 with respect to our financial condition, results of operations and business, and it includes statements relating to:

·                  our growth strategies including, without limitation, our ability to deploy new products and services;

·                  anticipated trends in our business and demographics;

·                  our ability to successfully integrate the business operations of recently acquired companies;

·                  our future profitability and liquidity; and

·                  regulatory, competitive or other economic influences.

Words such as “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates” and similar expressions also identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from estimates or forecasts contained in the forward-looking statements. Some of these risks and uncertainties are beyond our control. See Item 1A. Risk Factors included in our 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A.

Our actual results might differ materially from historical performance or current expectation. We do not undertake any obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future event or otherwise.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We have operations and sales in various regions of the world. Additionally, we may export and import to and from other countries. Our operations may therefore be subject to volatility because of currency fluctuations, inflation, and changes in political and economic conditions in these countries. Sales and expenses may be denominated in local currencies and may be affected as currency fluctuations affect our product prices and operating costs or those of our competitors. We do not believe that any changes in currency fluctuations, inflation, and changes in political and economic conditions would have a material affect on our business or our results of operations.

We presently do not use any derivative financial instruments to hedge our exposure to adverse fluctuations in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, fluctuations in commodity prices or other market risks, nor do we invest in speculative financial instruments.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

During the period covered by the Form 10-Q, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
