DIGITAL ANGEL CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Dollars in thousands)

(Unaudited)

 

1.             Basis of Presentation

 

On March 27, 2002, Digital Angel Acquisition Co. (“Acquisition”), then a wholly-owned subsidiary of Medical Advisory Systems, Inc. (“MAS”), merged with and into Digital Angel Corporation, which was then a 93% owned subsidiary of Applied Digital. In the merger, the corporate existence of Acquisition ceased, Digital Angel Corporation became a wholly-owned subsidiary of MAS and was renamed Digital Angel Technology Corporation (“DATC”), and MAS was renamed “Digital Angel Corporation.” In connection with the merger transaction, Applied Digital contributed to MAS all of its stock in Timely Technology Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary, and Signature Industries, Limited, an 85% owned subsidiary. These two subsidiaries, along with DATC, comprised the Advanced Wireless Group (“AWG”). As a result of this contribution by Applied Digital, Timely Technology Corp. became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and Signature Industries, Limited became an 85% subsidiary. Prior to the merger with DATC, Applied Digital owned 850,000 shares of MAS stock, representing approximately 16.3% of the outstanding stock of MAS. (Unless the context otherwise requires, the term “Company” means Digital Angel Corporation and its subsidiaries). In the merger, the shares of DATC owned by Applied Digital were converted into a total of 18,750,000 shares of MAS common stock. As a result of the merger, Applied Digital owned 19,600,000 shares or 77.15% of the Company’s common stock. The merger was treated as a reverse acquisition for accounting purposes, with AWG treated as the accounting acquirer.

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Digital Angel Corporation and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2004 and for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 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, 2004 and 2003 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, 2003 which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

Certain items in the condensed consolidated financial statements for the 2003 periods have been reclassified for comparative purposes.

 

The Company develops and deploys sensor and communications technologies that enable rapid and accurate identification, location tracking, and condition monitoring of high-value assets.  Prior to January 22, 2004, the Company operated in four segments: Animal Applications, Wireless and Monitoring, GPS and Radio Communications and Medical Systems. With the acquisition of OuterLink Corporation in January 2004, the Company reorganized into three segments: Animal Applications, GPS and Radio Communications and Medical Systems.  The GPS and Radio Communications segment, the Wireless and Monitoring segment and the OuterLink Corporation business, which was acquired on January 22, 2004, were combined to form the new GPS and Radio Communications segment.  On April 19, 2004, Digital Angel Corporation sold certain assets of its Medical Systems segment’s medical services business.  Assets sold include all of the tangible and intangible intellectual property developed for the operation of the Medical Systems segment’s medical services business, pharmaceutical supplies and other inventory items, customer and supplier contracts, computer software licenses, internet website and domain name and mailing lists and did not include the land and building used by this operation.  The Company sold the Medical Systems segment’s land and buildings in a separate transaction on July 30, 2004 for $1.5 million.  Net cash received on the sale, after paying off the related building mortgage, was approximately $0.4 million.

 

Animal Applications—develops, manufactures, and markets a broad line of electronic and visual identification devices for the companion animal, livestock, laboratory animal, fish and wildlife markets worldwide. The tracking of cattle and hogs are crucial both for asset management and for disease control and food safety. The principal technologies employed by Animal Applications are electronic ear tags and implantable microchips that use radio frequency transmission.

 

GPS and Radio Communications-consists of the design, manufacture and support of GPS enabled equipment. Applications for the segment’s products include location tracking and message monitoring of vehicles, aircraft and people in remote locations through systems that integrate GPS and 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

 

5



 

three technologies: wireless communications (such as cellular), sensors (including bio-sensors) and position location technology (including global positioning systems (GPS) and other systems).

 

2.             Principles of Consolidation

 

The June 30, 2004 and 2003 condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries (OuterLink Corporation from the date of acquisition on January 22, 2004).  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 exists, 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 fee jobs, 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. Revenues from contracts that provide services are recognized ratably over the term of the contract. Fixed fee revenues from contracts for services are recorded when earned and exclude reimbursable costs. Reimbursable costs incurred in performing such services are presented on a net basis and include transportation medical and communication costs. Other revenue is recognized at the time service 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, which generally provide for service on a month-to month basis 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, 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 ratable over the estimated customer service period, currently 30 months.

 

4.             Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company applies APB Opinion No. 25 and related Interpretations in accounting for all its stock option plans.  Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized under these stock option plans.  The Company has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” and SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure,” which was released in December 2002 as an amendment to SFAS No. 123.  The following table illustrates the effect on net loss and loss per share if the fair value based method had been applied to all awards (in thousands, except per share data):

9.             Segment Information

 

The Company is an advanced technology company in the field of rapid and accurate identification, location tracking, and condition monitoring of high-value assets.  Prior to January 22, 2004, the Company operated in four segments: Animal Applications, Wireless and Monitoring, GPS and Radio Communications and Medical Systems.  With the acquisition of OuterLink Corporation in January 2004, the Company reorganized into three segments: Animal Application, GPS and Radio Communications and Medical Systems.  The GPS and Radio Communications segment, the Wireless and Monitoring segment and the OuterLink Corporation business, which was acquired on January 22, 2004, were combined to form the new GPS and Radio Communications segment.  Prior period segment information has been restated to reflect the Company’s current segment structure. On April 19, 2004, Digital Angel Corporation sold certain assets of its Medical Systems segment’s medical services business.  Assets sold include all of the tangible and intangible intellectual property developed for the operation of the Medical Systems segment’s medical services business, pharmaceutical supplies and other inventory items, customer and supplier contracts, computer software licenses, internet website and domain name and mailing lists and did not include the land and building used by this operation.  The Company sold the Medical Systems segment’s land and buildings in a separate transaction on July 30, 2004 for $1.5 million.  Net cash received on the sale, after paying off the related building mortgage, was approximately $0.4 million.

It is on this basis that management utilizes the financial information to assist in making internal operating decisions.  The Company evaluates performance based on stand-alone segment operating income.

Provider of real-time, satellite-based automated tracking, wireless data transfer and two-way messaging with large fleets of vehicles.

 

 

On January 22, 2004, the Company acquired OuterLink Corporation.  OuterLink Corporation became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Digital Angel Corporation.  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 OuterLink Corporation was recorded as goodwill of $3.8 million and intangible assets of $4.7 million. 

 

The cost of the acquisition consisted of 100,000 shares of Series A preferred stock valued at $8.3 million and acquisition costs of $0.2 million.  The Series A preferred stock is convertible into four million shares of the Company’s common stock when the volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock equals or exceeds $4.00 per share for ten consecutive trading days.

 

10



 

The valuation of the stock is primarily based on historical trading history and stock prices of the Company’s common stock and a marketability discount of 30%.  The cost of the acquisition consists of legal and accounting related services that were direct costs of acquiring these assets.

 

In considering the benefits the OuterLink Corporation acquisition, the management of Digital Angel Corporation recognized the strategic complement of OuterLink Corporation’s technologies and customer base with Digital Angel Corporation’s existing animal applications and military GPS business lines.  This complement provides for a strong platform for further development of Digital Angel Corporation’s capabilities in the area of high-value asset identification, tracking and condition monitoring.

 

The results of OuterLink Corporation have been included in the consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition of January 22, 2004.  Unaudited pro forma results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2003 and the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 are included below.  Such pro forma information assumes that the above acquisition had occurred as of January 1, 2004 and 2003, and revenue is presented in accordance with the Company’s accounting policies.  This summary is not necessarily indicative of what the result 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.

Wurts Litigation

 

In February 2003, an action was filed in the Middlesex County Superior Court in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.  The Company’s subsidiary, OuterLink Corporation, as well as a significant stockholder of OuterLink and a principal of the significant stockholder were named as defendants.  The complaint alleged breach of an August 25, 1999 employment contract.  The plaintiff was President and CEO of OuterLink Corporation from July 1999 through August 2002.  The Complaint sought damages based principally on a contractual severance provision that allegedly provided for four months of compensation for every year or fraction thereof served prior to termination.  This matter was settled in July 2004 in consideration for a cash payment of $250,000.

 

E-Research Litigation

 

In June, 2002, eResearch Technology, Inc. f/k/a Premier Research Worldwide, Ltd. (“ERT”) commenced a proceeding against U.S. Bank National Association (“US Bank”), subsequently intervened in by the Company in the New Jersey state court and subsequently removed to the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey.  This suit was commenced to pursue alleged damages of approximately $350,000 due to the Company’s and US Bank’s alleged failure to register transfers of restricted Digital Angel shares sold by ERT in May 2002.  This matter was settled prior to trial without either party paying any amounts to the other party.

 

Electronic Identification Devices Litigation

 

In February 2004, Electronic Identification Devices, Ltd. (“EID”) commenced a Declaratory Judgment Action against the Company in the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas.  This action seeks a declaration of patent non-infringement relating to the Company’s patented syringe implantable identification transponder.  The lawsuit alleges that EID has developed a new transponder that it believes does not infringe on the Company’s patent.  The lawsuit acknowledges that the Company obtained a Judgment of infringement and two contempt orders against EID based on selling certain systems that infringed the Company’s patent in 1997, 1998 and 1999.  On March 10, 2004 the Company filed a motion seeking the dismissal of the Declaratory Judgment Complaint or, in the alternative, that the action be transferred to Minnesota.  The Court has not yet ruled on the Company’s motion. Given the very early stage of this matter, the ultimate outcome of this proceeding cannot be predicted at this time.  The

Company is currently unable to determine the potential effect of this litigation on its consolidated financial position, results of operation or cash flows.

 

John Fernandez vs. United States of America vs. Medical Advisory Systems, Inc.

 

On December 29, 2003, John Fernandez filed a lawsuit in the Orlando Division of the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida.  The plaintiff filed the lawsuit against the Unites States of America as the operator of the ship on which the plaintiff served.  He alleged that the United States had contracted with Medical Advisory Systems to provide medical advice and that the physician at Medical Advisory Systems had rendered an incorrect long-distance diagnosis, resulting to injury to the plaintiff.  Mr. Fernandez asserted against the United States claims of negligence under the Jones Act, unseaworthiness and maintenance and cure. He alleged damages in excess of $75,000, plus prejudgment and post-judgment interest at the legal rate and costs and disbursements of the action.  On April 14, 2004, the United States served Medical Advisory Systems with a third part complaint in Admirality in which it alleged that Medical Advisory Systems is liable to it for all or part of the plaintiff’s claim in that Medical Advisory Systems and/or its employee/physician rendering the medical advice was negligent.  In response, on May 12, 2004, Medical Advisory Systems filed a motion to dismiss the third party complaint.  Given the very early stage of the lawsuit, the ultimate outcome of this proceeding cannot be predicted at this time.  The Company is currently unable to determine the potential effect of this litigation on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In 2003, Applied Digital charged the Company for research expenses and directors and officers insurance.  Amounts due to Applied Digital were offset by receivables due from Applied Digital resulting from the Distribution and Licensing Agreement with Verichip Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Applied Digital.  At June 30, 2004, these transactions resulted in a net amount due to Applied Digital of $0.1 million.

 

The Company has executed an exclusive eleven year Distribution and Licensing Agreement dated March 4, 2002 with Verichip Corporation (Verichip), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Applied Digital, covering the manufacturing, purchasing and distribution of Verichip’s implantable microchip and the maintenance of the Verichip Registry by the Company.  The agreement includes a license for the use of the Company’s technology in Verichip’s identified markets.  The Company will be the sole manufacturer and supplier to Verichip.  Revenue recognized under the Distribution and Licensing Agreement was $57,000 and $87,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

Convertible NoteOn July 31, 2003, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (“Purchase Agreement”) to sell to Laurus Master Fund, Ltd. (“Laurus”) a two-year Secured Convertible Note (the “Convertible Note”) in the original principal amount of $2,000,000 and a five-year warrant to purchase up to 125,000 shares of our common stock.  The per share exercise price of the warrant is $2.68 for 75,000 shares, $2.91 for 35,000 shares and $3.38 for 15,000 shares. The Convertible Note is convertible, at Laurus’s option, into shares of our common stock at a per share price of $2.33.  Laurus is not entitled to convert the amount evidenced by the Convertible Note into a number of shares of common stock which would exceed the difference between the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by Laurus and 4.99% of the outstanding shares of our common stock.  However, Laurus may acquire more than 4.99% of our outstanding common stock upon 75 days notice to the Company. Through June 30, 2004, Laurus has converted $582,500 into 250,000 shares of our common stock.  In accordance with the letter agreement dated June 1, 2004, between us, Applied Digital and Laurus, Laurus sold 150,000 of the common shares to Applied Digital.  As of June 30, 2004 the principal balance of the Convertible Note was $846,000.  The Convertible Note accrues interest at an annual rate equal to the higher of the prime rate plus 1.75% or 6% per annum.  We allocated $143,000 of the proceeds to the warrant issued.  The amount allocated represents the fair value of the warrant calculated under the Black-Scholes method.  The value of the warrant is included in additional paid-in capital and is being amortized to interest expense over the life of the Convertible Note.

 

In connection with the Convertible Note, we entered into a Security Agreement with Laurus granting to Laurus a lien and security interest in our assets.  Additionally, the Securities Purchase Agreement includes default provisions should an Event of Default (as defined in the agreement) occur.  Furthermore, under a related registration rights agreement, the common stock underlying the Convertible Note is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

Revolving Note and Minimum Borrowing Note.  On August 28, 2003, we entered into a Security Agreement with Laurus under which we may borrow from Laurus the lesser of $5,000,000 or an amount that is determined based on percentages of our eligible accounts receivable and inventory as prescribed by the terms of the Security Agreement.  Under the Security Agreement, we issued to Laurus a three-year Secured Revolving Convertible Note (“Revolving Note”) in the original principal amount of $3,500,000 and a three-year Secured Minimum Borrowing Convertible Note (“Minimum Borrowing Note”) in the or
