We develop innovative identification and security products for consumer, commercial and government sectors worldwide. Our unique and often proprietary products provide identification and security for people, animals, food chains, government/military assets, and commercial assets. Included in this diverse product line are applications for radio frequency identification systems, commonly known as RFID, end-to-end food safety systems, global positioning systems, referred to as GPS, satellite communications, and secure telecomm infrastructure.
The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Applied Digital Solutions, Inc. and its subsidiaries (doing business as Applied Digital) (the “Company”, “Registrant”, “us”, “we”, or “our”) as of June 30, 2005, and December 31, 2004 (the December 31, 2004, financial information included in this report has been extracted from our audited financial statements included in our 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K), and for the three and six-months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S.”) 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 U.S. for complete financial statements. In the opinion of our management, all adjustments (including normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary to present fairly the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been made. Certain items in the 2004 periods have been reclassified for comparative purposes. See Note 10.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of sales and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
During the second quarter of 2004, we made a decision to sell the business assets of Medical Systems as more fully discussed in Note 9. As a result, its operations are included as part of our discontinued operations for all periods presented.
The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and six-months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year. These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.
During the three-months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, we reported a loss from continuing operations of approximately $1.5 million and $2.5 million, respectively, and income (loss) from continuing operations of approximately $0.1 million and $(2.8) million, respectively, for the six-months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004. Included for the loss for the three-months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 was $0.8 million and $0.3 million, respectively, of interest reduction as a result of the revaluation of certain common stock warrants. The warrants are settleable into shares of the Digital Angel Corporation (“Digital Angel”), our majority-owned subsidiary as more fully discussed in Note 2, common stock that we own, are exercisable into shares of our common stock or settleable/exercisable into a combination of shares from both companies at the holders’ option. As a result of the holders having the option to settle the warrants in shares of the Digital Angel common stock that we own,
fluctuations in the market price of Digital Angel’s common stock result in increases/reductions in our interest expense. Also, included for the three-months ended June 30, 2005 was $0.5 million in legal settlement income, and for the three-months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, $0.4 million and $0.1 million, respectively, of loss attributable to capital transactions of subsidiary. Excluding these items, we incurred a loss from continuing operations of approximately $2.4 million and approximately $2.7 million for the three-months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
Included in the results for the six-months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 was $3.2 million and $0.9 million, respectively, of interest reduction as a result of the revaluation of the common stock warrants, which are settleable into shares of the Digital Angel common stock that we own. Also, included for the six-months ended June 30, 2005 was $0.5 million in legal settlement income and $0.5 million in recovery of a note receivable that had been previously reserved, and for the six-months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 $0.9 million and $0.1 million, respectively, of gain attributable to capital transactions of subsidiary. Excluding these items, we incurred a loss from continuing operations of approximately $5.0 million and approximately $3.8 million for the six-months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
Historically, we have suffered losses and have not generated positive cash flows from operations. As of June 30, 2005, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $431.1 million. Our operating activities used cash of $6.7 million and $9.4 million during the six-months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Digital Angel has suffered losses and has not generated positive cash flows from operations. Digital Angel incurred losses during the three and six-months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, which are presented in Note 6. In addition, its operating activities used cash of $1.4 million and $3.0 million during the six-months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
On February 28, 2005, Digital Angel acquired DSD Holding A/S and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Daploma International A/S and Digitag A/S (“DSD”), and as result, DSD became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Digital Angel. DSD produces visual and RFID tags as well as tamper-proof seals for packing and shipping applications. The acquisition is more fully described in Note 7.
On March 31, 2005, we acquired VeriChip Inc., formerly eXI Wireless, Inc., and on June 9, 2005 we contributed VeriChip Inc. to VeriChip Corporation under the terms of an Exchange Agreement as more fully discussed in Note 7. In addition, on June 10, 2005 VeriChip Inc. acquired Instantel Inc. (“Instantel”). VeriChip Inc. and Instantel offer patient wandering, infant protection and asset tracking/location systems combining automated RFID identification and real-time location technologies. The acquisitions are more fully described in Note 7.
Revenue Recognition for Acquired Subsidiaries
The business operations of VeriChip Inc. and Instantel are discussed in Note 7. The revenue recognition policy for VeriChip Inc. and Instantel is as follows:
Hardware and software revenues are recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the goods are shipped and title passes, the price is fixed or determinable and collection of the sales proceeds is reasonably assured. Revenue from the sale of software implementation services and consulting services is recognized as the services are performed. Revenue from post-contract support services is recognized over the term of the agreement. When software arrangements include multiple elements to which contract accounting does not apply, the individual elements are accounted for separately if vendor specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) of fair value exists for the undelivered elements. Generally, the residual method is applied in allocating revenue between delivered and undelivered elements. If VSOE does not exist, the revenue on the completed arrangement is deferred until
the earlier of (a) VSOE being established or (b) all of the undelivered elements are delivered or performed, with the following exceptions: if the only undelivered element is post contract support, the entire fee is recognized ratably over the post contract support period, and if the only undelivered element is service, the entire fee is recognized as the services are performed. Maintenance revenue is deferred and recognized ratably over the terms of the maintenance agreements.
Revenue Recognition for Digital Angel
Digital Angel, except for its subsidiary OuterLink, 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’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 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 service or goods are provided. It is Digital Angel’s policy to record contract losses in their entirety in the period in which such losses are foreseeable.
OuterLink 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’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’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, which customarily is 30 months.
Stock-Based Compensation
As permitted under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123, Accounting for Stock-based Compensation (“FAS 123”), we have elected to follow the guidance of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (“APB 25”), and Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 44, Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation—an Interpretation of APB Opinion No. 25 (“FIN 44”), in accounting for our stock-based employee compensation arrangements. Accordingly, no compensation cost is recognized for any of our fixed stock options granted to employees when the exercise price of each option equals or exceeds the fair value of the underlying common stock as of the grant date for each stock option. Changes in the terms of stock option grants, such as extensions of the vesting period or changes in the exercise price, result in variable accounting in accordance with APB 25. Accordingly, compensation expense is measured in accordance with APB 25 and recognized over the vesting period. If the modified grant is fully vested, any additional compensation costs are recognized immediately. We account for equity instruments issued to non-employees in accordance with the provisions of FAS 123.
As of June 30, 2005, we had five stock-based employee compensation plans and our subsidiaries collectively had eight stock-based employee compensation plans. As permitted under FAS No. 148,
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure (“FAS 148”), which amended FAS 123, we have elected to continue to follow the intrinsic value method in accounting for our stock-based compensation arrangements as defined by APB 25 and FIN 44.
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (“FAS 123R”), which replaces FAS 123 and supercedes APB 25. FAS 123R requires that all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values. The pro forma disclosures previously permitted under FAS 123 will no longer be an alternative to financial statement recognition. The adoption date of FAS 123R, which was originally scheduled for July 1, 2005, has been delayed. The provisions of FAS 123R will become effective for us on January 1, 2006. We expect that the adoption of FAS 123R will have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations and earnings per share. We have not yet determined the method of adoption or the effect of adopting FAS 123R, and we have not determined whether the adoption will result in amounts that are similar to the current pro forma disclosures required under FAS 123. In addition, we have not yet determined the impact of FAS 123R on our compensation policies or plans, if any.
The following table illustrates the effect on net loss and loss per share if we had applied the fair value recognition provisions of FAS 123 to stock-based employee compensation for options granted under our arrangements as well as to the arrangement of our subsidiaries:

4. Financing Agreements
Financing Agreement with Institutional Investors
In connection with the acquisition of Instantel, we entered into a financing agreement with certain institutional investors, whereby we issued our Series D Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”), our Series E Warrants (the “Warrants”) and our Senior Unsecured Convertible Notes (the “Notes”). Pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement, Certificate of Designations of the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, and the Warrants, we issued 7,860 shares and 4,640 shares, respectively, of our Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $10.00 per share, to Satellite Strategic Finance Partners, Ltd. and Satellite Strategic Finance Associates, LLC, and Warrants to acquire 739,516 and 436,559 shares of our common stock, respectively, to Satellite Strategic Finance Partners, Ltd. and Satellite Strategic Finance Associates, LLC. In addition, VeriChip Corporation issued the VeriChip Warrants, which are exercisable by Satellite Strategic Finance Partners, Ltd. and Satellite Strategic Finance Associates, LLC into 94,320 and 55,680 shares of VeriChip Corporation’s common stock, respectively. The total consideration for the Preferred Stock, the Warrants and the VeriChip Warrants was $12.5 million in cash. The Securities Purchase Agreement contains certain covenants, including limitations on Permitted Debt and Permitted Liens, as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement.
Preferred Stock
The Preferred Stock is convertible into 2,010,230 shares and 1,186,701 shares of our common stock by Satellite Strategic Finance Partners, Ltd. and Satellite Strategic Finance Associates, LLC, respectively, at a conversion price of $3.91 per share, subject to anti-dilution provisions. Dividends accrue at 6% annually, subject to the holder’s right to receive a minimum of two years worth of dividends if the Preferred Stock is redeemed or converted before the two-year anniversary of the issue date, and are paid quarterly. The dividends are payable in cash or, subject to our satisfying certain conditions, in shares of our common stock, at our option. On of July 21, 2005, Satellite Strategic Finance Partners, Ltd. and Satellite Strategic Finance Associates, LLC converted 2,200 and 1,300 shares of the Preferred Stock, respectively, into 562,660 and 332,481 shares of our common stock, respectively. In addition, we issued 78,073 and 46,134 shares of our common stock to Strategic Finance Partners, Ltd. and Strategic Finance Associates, LLC, respectively, in payment of dividends, which were due upon conversion, based upon a conversion rate of $3.29 per share. We paid the quarterly dividends due on July 1, 2005 of $41,096 in cash.
The Preferred Stock is subject to certain mandatory redemption provisions, and accordingly, it is reflected on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as temporary equity. If certain fundamental changes occur in respect of the Preferred Stock, the holders may require us to redeem the Preferred Stock at a price per share equal to the greater of (i) 120% of the stated value ($1,000 per share) of the Preferred Stock then outstanding plus accrued dividends, and (ii) the product of the number of conversion shares issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock being redeemed, without regard to any limitation on conversion, times the then in effect market price for our common stock. Fundamental changes consist of (i) the failure of any material representation or warranty of ours as set forth in the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Certificate of Designations or the other transaction documents to be true and correct in all material respects as of the issue date as if made on such date; (ii) our failure at any time to comply with or perform in all material respects all of the material agreements, obligations and conditions set forth in the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Certificate of Designations or the other transaction documents that are required to be complied with or performed by us (after giving effect to any grace periods specified therein); (iii) a change of control (as defined) occurs; or (iv) a liquidation event (as defined) occurs or is publicly announced by or with respect to us.
Warrants
The Warrants are exercisable at any time until they expire on June 10, 2010 at an exercise price of $4.09 per share, subject to anti-dilution provisions. The VeriChip Warrants are exercisable at an exercise price of $8.00 per share, subject to anti-dilution provisions, from June 10, 2005 to the one year anniversary
of the date on which VeriChip Corporation completes an initial public offering of its common stock or, if VeriChip Corporation does not commence an initial public offering by June 10, 2007, on June 10, 2007. The warrants were valued using the Black-Scholes valuation model.
We registered the shares issuable upon the conversion of the Preferred Stock and the exercise of the Warrants on a registration statement declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 15, 2005.
Notes
We borrowed an aggregate of $5,000,000 from the two Satellite institutional investors under the Notes due December 10, 2005. We are entitled to extend the maturity of the Notes for an additional three months if the market price of our common stock on any of the ten trading days ending on and including the original maturity is less than the floor price of $3.25 per share. The Notes are payable in cash or, under certain conditions, are exchangeable for shares of our Series D Convertible Preferred Stock at our option provided certain conditions (i.e. an event of default has not occurred, the Initial Registration Statement as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement is effective as required, our common stock is authorized for quotation on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market or the Nasdaq National Market or listed on the New York Stock Exchange and we have adequately reserved the number of shares of our common stock as required in the Securities Purchase Agreement) are met. Currently, we meet all of those conditions. We believe that it is likely that we will meet those conditions upon maturity of the Notes, and we intend to exchange the Notes for shares of our Preferred Stock. While, we currently have sufficient funds to repay the Notes in cash, such cash repayment would materially and adversely affect our cash flow. In that event, we would be required, although there can be no assurance that we would be successful, to borrow funds, if available, or issue equity or debt or rely on our other sources of liquidity to raise funds to meet our needs.
The Notes were issued at an aggregate price of $5,000,000, which is equal to 93.45% of the face amount (i.e., $5,350,455), or a 14% per annum discount rate. Principal accrues on a daily basis from the issue date through the earlier of the date on which the Notes are paid in full or are exchanged for shares of our Preferred Stock. Under the terms of a registration rights agreement, we will be obligated to register any Preferred Stock issued in connection with the Notes.
Proceeds
We used the net proceeds from the financing discussed above of approximately $17.3 million, together with approximately $4.7 million of internal cash, to fund the acquisition of Instantel.
The proceeds from the financing were allocated on a relative fair value basis as follows:
(in thousands) | ||||
Relative Fair Value of Preferred Stock | $ | 11,003 | ||
Relative Fair Value of Series E Warrant | 1,780 | |||
Relative Fair Value of VeriChip Warrant | 1 | |||
Relative Fair Value of Note | 4,716 | |||
Subtotal | 17,500 | |||
Less costs and expenses | (140 | ) | ||
Net proceeds | $ | 17,360 |
We recorded a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) attributable to the Preferred Stock of $0.5 million. The BCF is intrinsically calculated by subtracting the relative fair value of the Preferred Stock from the fair value of the if converted shares, based on the market value of our common stock on June
10, 2005 of $3.59 per share. The BCF was recorded as a reduction in the value assigned to the Preferred Stock and an increase in additional paid-in capital. Since the Preferred Stock was convertible into our common stock immediately upon issuance, the full accretion of the BCF was recorded through equity on June 10, 2005, increasing the loss available to common stockholders and loss per share. In addition, since the holders of the Preferred Stock have the right to receive a minimum of an aggregate of two years worth of dividends if the Preferred Stock is redeemed or converted at anytime before the two-year anniversary of the issue date, we have recorded a liability of $1.5 million for dividends as of June 30, 2005. The dividends have also increased the loss available to common stockholders and loss per share.
We recorded a BCF in connection with the Notes of approximately $0.2 million. The BCF attributable to the Notes was recorded as a reduction in the value assigned to the Notes (original issue discount) and an increase in additional paid-in-capital. The total original issue discount was $0.8 million and will be accreted over the life of the Notes (six months) as additional interest expense. We recorded interest expense of $0.1 million and $0.1 million during the three and six-months ended June 30, 2005, respectively, in connection with the Notes.
Extension and Exercise of Warrants
On October 21, 2004, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Satellite Strategic Finance Associates, LLC whereby, among other things, we sold to them 2.5 million shares of our common stock in a private placement. The Agreement provided Satellite Strategic Finance Associates, LLC with a Series C Warrant, which was exercisable into 1.5 million shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $4.33 per share, and a Series D Warrant, which is exercisable into 666,667 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $5.05 per share. The Series C Warrant was set to expire in April 2005. On March 31, 2005, we agreed to amend the exercise price of the Series C Warrant from $4.33 per share to an exercise price equal to one cent above the closing price of our common stock on March 31, 2005, or $3.47 per share. Satellite Strategic Finance Associates, LLC exercised the Warrant on March 31, 2005. The Series D Warrant still remains outstanding and is exercisable through October 21, 2010. The proceeds from the exercise of the Series C Warrant were approximately $5.2 million.
Credit Facilities
DSD is party to a credit agreement with Danske Bank. The credit facility provides for borrowings up to DKK 12 million ($1.9 million at June 30, 2005). At June 30, 2005, the annual interest rate on the facility was 4.5%, and the borrowing availability under the facility was approximately $0.7 million.
VeriChip Inc. is party to a credit agreement with the Royal Bank of Canada. The credit facility provides for borrowings up to $1.2 million (no amount was outstanding as of June 30, 2005). The annual interest rate on the facility is the Bank of Canada prime plus 1%.

(1) Income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes, minority interest and gain (loss) attributable to capital transactions of subsidiary includes a reversal of approximately $0.8 million of interest expense as a result of the revaluation of certain common stock warrants. The warrants are settleable into shares of the Digital Angel common stock that we own, are exercisable into shares of our common stock or settleable/exercisable into a combination of shares from both companies at the holders’ option. As a result of the holders having the option to settle the warrants in shares of the Digital Angel common stock that we own, fluctuations in the market price of Digital Angel’s common stock result in increases/reductions in our interest expense. Also, included for the three-months ended June 30, 2005 was $0.5 million in legal settlement income. Excluding these items, we incurred a loss from continuing operations before taxes, minority interest, gain (loss) attributable to capital transactions of subsidiary of approximately $2.5 million in the three-months ended June 30, 2005.

(1) Income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes, minority interest and gain (loss) attributable to capital transactions of subsidiary includes a reversal of approximately $3.2 million of interest expense as a result of the revaluation of certain common stock warrants. The warrants are settleable into shares of the Digital Angel common stock that we own, are exercisable into shares of our common stock or are settleable/exercisable into a combination of shares from both companies at the holders’ option. As a result of the holders having the option to settle the warrants in shares of the Digital Angel common stock that we own, fluctuations in the market price of Digital Angel’s common stock result in increases/reductions in our interest expense. Also, included for the six-months ended June 30, 2005 was $0.5 million in legal settlement income and $0.5 million in recovery of a note receivable that we had previously reserved. Excluding these items, we incurred a loss from continuing operations before taxes, minority interest, gain (loss) attributable to capital transactions of subsidiary of approximately $5.4 million in the six-months ended June 30, 2005.

7. Acquisitions
Share Exchange Agreements
Pursuant to the terms of a Share Exchange Agreement dated February 25, 2005, we sold to Digital Angel 684,543 shares of our common stock. Under the terms of the Share Exchange Agreement, we agreed to make a strategic investment in Digital Angel whereby we acquired an additional 644,140 shares of Digital Angel’s common stock in the exchange. We agreed to the terms of the share exchange because we desire to maintain a controlling interest in Digital Angel. Per the terms of the agreement, the value of the common stock exchanged between us and Digital Angel was $3.5 million, which represented the initial partial payment due under the DSD acquisition agreement as discussed in the “Acquisitions” section below. The number of shares of Digital Angel’s and our common stock issued in the exchange was based upon the average of the volume-weighted-average price of Digital Angel’s and our common stock, respectively, for the ten trading days immediately preceding, and not including, the transaction closing date, which was $5.434 for Digital Angel’s common stock and $5.113 for our
common stock. Digital Angel used our common stock that it received under the Share Exchange Agreement as partial consideration for the acquisition of DSD, as DSD’s selling shareholders’ desired to receive their consideration in shares of our common stock as opposed to Digital Angel’s common stock.
Digital Angel has outstanding options and warrants that are convertible into shares of its common stock. If all of the outstanding options and warrants were converted into shares of Digital Angel’s common stock, our ownership would be less than 50%. We desire to maintain a controlling interest in Digital Angel, and therefore, we may enter into additional share exchange agreements with Digital Angel, or we may elect in the future to buy back a portion of the outstanding shares of Digital Angel’s common stock that we do not currently own.
Acquisitions
The following describes the acquisitions made during the six-months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 (in thousands):

DSD Holdings A/S
On February 28, 2005, Digital Angel completed the acquisition of DSD. Under the terms of the acquisition, Digital Angel purchased all of the outstanding capital stock of DSD in consideration for a purchase price of seven times DSD’s average annual EBITDA, as defined in the agreement, over the next three years less outstanding indebtedness at the end of the time period and less 30% of the total compensation paid to Lasse Nordfjeld, Chief Executive Officer of DSD, pursuant to an employment agreement. An initial payment of $3.5 million was made at closing through the delivery of 684,543 shares of our common stock valued at $3.5 million, which Digital Angel acquired from us in the share exchange discussed above. The initial payment of $3.5 million was negotiated between Digital Angel and the selling shareholders of DSD. The initial payment of $3.5 million was the minimum payment due and no amount will be returned if DSD fails to achieve a certain EBITDA level over the next three years. On June 7, 2005, Digital Angel paid additional consideration of $0.2 million to account for pre-closing price fluctuations. The excess of purchase price over the fair value of the assets and liabilities of DSD has been recorded as goodwill. The acquisition of DSD has been recorded based on preliminary estimates as of the date of acquisition. Any changes to the preliminary estimates during the allocation period will be reflected as an adjustment to goodwill. Any increase in total consideration will be recorded pursuant to paragraph 26 of SFAS 141, “Business Combinations.”
Denmark-based DSD manufactures and markets visual and electronic RFID tags for livestock as well as tamper-proof seals for packing and shipping applications. The company has been in business for more than 30 years and has successfully developed markets in the Middle East, Japan, Australia and throughout Europe, particularly in Eastern Europe where new European Union entrants have to meet strict livestock tagging and tracking standards. Digital Angel intends to operate DSD from their current headquarters near Copenhagen, Denmark. In considering the benefits of the DSD acquisition, management recognized the strategic complement of DSD’s technologies and customer base with Digital Angel’s existing Animal Applications division.
VeriChip Inc.
Effective March 31, 2005, we acquired VeriChip Inc. through a Plan of Arrangement (the “Arrangement”) under which we paid CAD$1.60 for each outstanding share of VeriChip Inc. (a total of 10,265,178 VeriChip Inc. common shares were outstanding on March 31, 2005) payable in our common stock based on the daily weighted-average closing price of our common stock quoted for the ten consecutive trading days that ended three trading days before the closing. The resulting exchange ratio was 3.0295 shares of VeriChip Inc.’s common stock for each share of our common stock. Accordingly, we issued 3,388,407 shares of our common stock to VeriChip Inc.’s shareholders. In addition, all existing VeriChip Inc. options and warrants outstanding were converted pro rata, based upon the exchange ratio, into options or warrants exercisable into shares of our common stock. Included in the purchase price was approximately $0.6 million in acquisition costs consisting primarily of a finder’s fee and legal and accounting related services that were direct costs of the acquisition.
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 VeriChip Inc. was recorded as goodwill of approximately $4.0 million. The intangible assets totaling approximately $6.6 million are comprised of patents, trademarks, customer relationships and distribution network. These intangibles are being amortized over periods ranging from 4 to 12.3 years. The trademark has an indefinite life. Amortization recorded in the three and six-months ended June 30, 2005 was $0.2 million and $0.2 million, respectively.
Vancouver, British Columbia-based VeriChip Inc. has developed patient wandering, infant protection and asset tracking / location systems uniquely combining automated identification and real-time location technologies. VeriChip Inc.’s proprietary security products: HALO™, RoamAlert™, Assetrac™ and Houndware™ are sold to hospitals, nursing homes and commercial customers, respectively.
We contributed VeriChip Inc. to VeriChip Corporation, our subsidiary, under the terms of an Exchange Agreement between us and VeriChip Corporation dated June 9, 2005, in consideration for 5.0 million shares of VeriChip Corporation’s common stock and for other good and valuable consideration.
Instantel, Inc.
On June 10, 2005, we issued a press release announcing that VeriChip Inc. entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) dated June 10, 2005, by and among Instantel, Instantel Holding Company s.ar.l., Perceptis, L.P., VeriChip Inc. and solely for the purposes of Section 1.4 of the Agreement, us and VeriChip Corporation to acquire 100% of the common stock of Instantel. Under the terms of the Agreement, Instantel became a wholly-owned subsidiary of VeriChip Inc.
The purchase price for Instantel Inc. was approximately $22.5 million paid in cash and up to an additional $3.0 million to be paid in the future in some combination of cash, VeriChip Corporation common stock and our common stock, depending on whether VeriChip Corporation completes an initial public offering of its common stock. Included in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at June 30, 2005 is a long-term liability of $2.5 million, which represents the minimum payment that may be due in cash under the terms of the Agreement. Included in the purchase price was approximately $0.5 million in acquisition costs consisting primarily of legal and accounting related services that were direct costs of the acquisition. Under the terms of a registration rights agreement, we have certain future requirements to register shares of our common stock that we may issue in connection with the acquisition.
Ottawa, Ontario-based Instantel manufactures high-quality remote monitoring products in the areas of healthcare security and vibration monitoring for a diverse customer base. Instantel Inc.’s Xmark® division specializes in smart tag technology for protecting people and assets in healthcare environments. Its Hugs® product line is a popular RFID system for preventing the abduction of newborn infants in hospitals, while the WatchMate® system is used in long-term care facilities to protect wander-prone residents.
The Instantel acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. The excess of purchase price over the estimated fair value of the assets and liabilities of Instantel was recorded as goodwill of $18.0 million. In addition, we have recorded intangible assets of $4.8 million. The acquisition has been recorded based on preliminary estimates as of the date of acquisition. Any changes to the preliminary estimates during the allocation period will be reflected as an adjustment to goodwill. Should we issue consideration in excess of the $2.5 million currently reflected on our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2005, it will be recorded as additional goodwill.
The synergy of VeriChip Corporation, VeriChip Inc. and Instantel create a dynamic new combination: what we believe to be the only company to offer both implanted and external RFID leading-edge identification and security solutions for people, their assets, and their environments. By bringing together VeriChip Inc.’s and Instantel's products, distribution channels, and personnel with VeriChip Corporation’s FDA-cleared, human implantable RFID microchip technology, we believe that the combined company can serve the healthcare, security, industrial, and government markets with the latest in RFID solutions.
OuterLink Corporation
On January 22, 2004, Digital Angel completed the acquisition of OuterLink Corporation (“OuterLink”) pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated November 2, 2003, by and among Digital Angel, DA Acquisition and OuterLink. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, OuterLink became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Digital Angel. OuterLink manufactures and markets a suite of satellite tracking systems, operates a mobile satellite data communications service, and supplies tracking software systems for mapping and messaging. The OuterLink “CP-2 system” provides real-time automated tracking, wireless data transfer, and two-way messaging with large fleets of vehicles including utility trucks, helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft, long haul trucks, service vehicles, short haul trucks, and ships. OuterLink’s current customer base includes various branches of the Department of Homeland Security including the U.S. Border Patrol and U.S. Customs Service.
The cost of the acquisition consisted of 100,000 shares of Digital Angel’s Series A preferred stock valued at $8.3 million and acquisition costs of $0.2 million. The Series A preferred stock became convertible into four million shares of Digital Angel’s common stock when the volume weighted average price of Digital Angel’s common stock equaled or exceeded $4.00 per share for ten consecutive trading days. As of June 30, 2005, 99,976 preferred shares had been converted into 3.9 million shares of Digital Angel’s common stock, the majority of which were converted as of December 31, 2004. The valuation of the preferred stock was primarily based on historical trading history and stock prices of Digital Angel’s common stock and a marketability discount of 30%. Digital Angel engaged an independent third party to value the 100,000 shares of its preferred stock issued in connection with the acquisition. The independent party’s report indicated that a discount to the common share market price was appropriate, based on consideration of various empirical studies designed to quantify marketability discounts. The marketability discount was assessed to reflect the inability to convert the preferred stock at issuance, the inability to transfer the preferred shares until a historically high trading price was obtained, and the lack of a trading market for the preferred shares. The acquisition costs consisted of legal and accounting related services that were direct costs of acquiring OuterLink.
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 was recorded as goodwill of $3.8 million. The intangible assets totaling $4.7 million are comprised of customer relationships, trademarks and core technology. The customer relationships and core technology are being amortized over periods ranging from 4 to 8 years. The trademark has an indefinite life. Amortization recorded in the three-months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 was $0.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively. Amortization recorded in the six-months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 was $0.4 million and $0.4 million, respectively.
In considering the benefits of the OuterLink acquisition, management recognized the strategic complement of OuterLink’s technologies and customer base with Digital Angel’s existing animal applications and military GPS business lines.
The results of DSD, VeriChip Inc., Instantel and OuterLink have been included in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations since their respective dates of acquisition. Unaudited pro forma results of operations for the three and six-months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 are included below. Such pro forma information assumes that the above acquisitions had occurred as of January 1, 2004, and revenue is presented in accordance with our accounting policies. This summary is not necessarily indicative of what our result of operations would have been had DSD, VeriChip Inc., Instantel and OuterLink been combined entities during such periods, nor does it purport to represent results of operations for any future periods.

Net Gain/Loss on Capital Transactions of Subsidiary and Gain/Loss Attributable to Changes in Minority Interest As a Result of Capital Transactions of Subsidiary
Gains where realized and losses on issuances of shares of stock by our consolidated subsidiary, Digital Angel, are reflected in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. We determined that such recognition of gains and losses on issuances of shares of stock by Digital Angel was appropriate since the shares issued to date were not sales of unissued shares in a public offering, we do not plan to reacquire the shares issued and the value of the proceeds could be objectively determined.
During the three-months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, we recorded a gain of $31,522 and $0.2 million, respectively, on the issuances of 7,500 and 0.2 million shares of Digital Angel’s common stock, respectively. During the six-months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, we recorded a gain of $0.4 million and incurred a loss of $1.8 million, respectively, on the issuances of 0.2 million and 4.0 million shares of Digital Angel’s common stock, respectively.
In addition, Digital Angel issued 0.6 million shares during the six-months ended June 30, 2005 under the terms of the Share Exchange Agreement between Digital Angel and us, as discussed above, which did not result in a gain or loss on issuance. Also, during the three and six-months ended June 30, 2004, Digital Angel issued 150,000 shares, which we acquired under the terms of a letter agreement among us, Digital Angel and Laurus Master Fund, Ltd., Digital Angel’s previous lender. Gains/losses on issuances of shares under the letter agreement were not included in the gains/losses noted above, as we intended to acquire such shares upon issuance.
The remaining shares issued during the three and six-months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 resulted from the issuance on March 1, 2004 of 3.0 million shares to us under an initial share exchange agreement, the exercise of Digital Angel’s stock options and warrants, the conversion of its preferred stock and for payment of services. The gain (loss) is comprised of (i) the minority owners’ interest in the
value of the 3.0 million shares issued by Digital Angel to us on March 31, 2004, and (ii) net of gains from the issuance of shares in connection with the exercise of options and warrants, the conversion of preferred stock and for payment of services. The net gains resulted from the difference between the carrying amount of our pro-rata share of our investment in Digital Angel and the net proceeds from the issuances of the stock.
In addition, we recorded a loss of $0.4 million and $0.3 million during the three-months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and a gain of $0.5 million and $1.9 million during the six-months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, attributable to changes in the minority interest ownership as a result of the capital transactions of Digital Angel, including the purchase of 50,000 and 0.3 million shares of treasury stock by Digital Angel during the three and six-months ended June 30, 2005, respectively.
The following is a summary of the capital transactions of Digital Angel for the three and six-months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004:

8. Net Operating Loss Carryforwards
At December 31, 2004, we had aggregate net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $236.3 million for income tax purposes that expire in various amounts through 2024. Approximately $34.9 million of the net operating loss carryforwards were acquired in connection with various acquisitions and are limited as to amount and use in any particular year based on Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) sections related to change of ownership restrictions. Digital Angel and InfoTech file separate federal income tax returns. Of the aggregate net operating loss carryforwards, approximately $60.6 million and $5.0 million relate to Digital Angel and InfoTech, respectively. These net operating loss carryforwards are available only to offset future taxable income of those companies.
As of June 30, 2005, we have calculated our change of ownership percentage based upon the change of ownership rules under certain IRC sections, and we have estimated that our change in ownership under these rules, based upon a three-year look-back period, of approximately 43%. In the future, if we issue common stock or additional equity instruments convertible into our common stock, which result in our ownership change exceeding the 50% threshold imposed by the Internal Revenue Service, all of our net operating loss carryforwards, excluding the net operating loss carryforwards of Digital Angel and InfoTech, will be significantly limited as to the amount of use in any particular year.
We had effective income tax rates of 4.5% and 1.0% for the three-months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and 3.6% and 3.4% for the six-months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Differences in the effective income tax rates from the statutory federal income tax rate arise from state taxes (benefits) net of federal benefits, the increase or reduction of valuation allowances related to net operating loss carry forwards, non-deductible goodwill amortization associated with acquisitions and other deferred tax assets. As of June 30, 2005, we have provided a valuation allowance to fully reserve the majority of our net operating loss carry forwards and our other existing net deferred tax assets, primarily as a result of our recent losses.
9. Discontinued Operations
During the second quarter of 2004, Digital Angel’s Board of Directors approved a plan to sell our Medical Systems operations, and accordingly, the business assets of Medical Systems were sold in 2004. Medical Systems was one of our reporting units in accordance with SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (“FAS 142”). Accordingly, the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of Medical Systems have been reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented. The following discloses the operating losses from discontinued operations for the three and six-months ended June 30, 2004, consisting of loss attributable to Medical Systems (we did not incur any operating income/losses from discontinuing operations during the three and six-months ended June 30, 2005):
Three-Months Ended June 30, | Six-Months Ended June 30, | ||||||

Minority Interest | (225 | ) | (338 | ) | |||
Loss from Discontinued Operations | $ | (525 | ) | $ | (790 | ) |
The above results do not include any allocated or common overhead expenses. We have not provided a provision/benefit for income taxes on the income/losses attributable to Medical Systems. We do not anticipate Medical Systems incurring additional losses in the future. However, in accordance with SFAS 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (“FAS 144”), any additional
operating losses will be reflected in our financial condition and results of operations as incurred.
On March 1, 2001, our board of directors approved a plan to offer for sale our IntelleSale business segment and several other non-core businesses. Prior to approving the plan, the assets and results of operations of the non-core businesses had been segregated for external and internal financial reporting purposes from our assets and results of operations. All of these non-core businesses were part of their own reporting unit for segment reporting purposes and all of these businesses were being held for sale. These five individually managed businesses operated in manufacturing and fabricating industries apart from our core businesses. Accordingly, these businesses were reclassified and reported as discontinued operations. The plan of disposal anticipated that these entities would be sold or closed within 12 months from March 1, 2001, the defined “measurement date”.
We have sold or closed all of the businesses comprising discontinued operations. Proceeds from the sales of discontinued operations companies were used primarily to repay debt.
Assets and liabilities of discontinued operations are as follows:

We accounted for our Intellesale segment and our other non-core businesses as discontinued operations in accordance with APB No. 30, Reporting the Results of Operations-Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions (“APB No. 30”). APB No. 30, of which portions related to the accounting for discontinued operations have been superceded by the provisions of FAS 144, required that we accrue estimates for future operating losses, gains/losses on sale, costs to dispose and carrying costs of these businesses at the time the businesses were discontinued. Accordingly, at December 31, 2000, we recorded a provision for operating losses and carrying costs during the phase-out period for our Intellesale and other non-core businesses including estimated disposal costs to be incurred in selling the businesses. Carrying costs consisted primarily of cancellation of facility and equipment leases, legal settlements, employment contract buyouts and sales tax liabilities.
During the three-months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, we reduced the estimated loss on disposal of discontinued operations of by approximately $0 and $13,000, respectively. During the six-months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, we increased (reduced) the estimated loss on disposal of discontinued operations by approximately $4,000 and $(2.1) million, respectively. During the six-month ended June 30, 2004 certain carrying costs were settled for less than previously anticipated. Carrying costs totaled $0.9 million and $0.9 million as of June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively. We do not anticipate any future losses related to discontinued operations as a result of changes in carrying costs. However, actual losses could differ from our estimates and any adjustments will be reflected in our future financial statements.
10. Reclassification of Minority Interest from Continuing Operations to Discontinued Operations
We have revised our calculation of the loss (income) from continuing operations and discontinued operations for the three and six-months ended June 30, 2004, as presented in our June 30, 2004 Form 10-Q, to reclassify the minority interest associated with Medical Systems’ losses from continuing operations to discontinued operations. The effect of the change does not impact the reported net loss in the periods, as follows:
Previously Reported Three-Months Ended June 30, 2004 | Revised Three-Months Ended June 30, 2004 | Previously Reported Six-Months Ended June 30, 2004 | Revised Six-Months Ended June 30, 2004 | ||||||||||

11. Non-Cash Stock-Based Compensation Expense
We recorded $0.1 million and reduced $0.0 million, $0.2 million and $0.4 million of non-cash stock-based compensation expense during the three-months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, and the six-months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, due to re-pricing 1.9 million stock options during 2001. The re-priced options had original exercise prices ranging from $6.90 to $63.40 per share and were modified to change the exercise price to $1.50 per share. Due to the modification, these options are being accounted for as variable options under APB Opinion No. 25 and fluctuations in our common stock price result in increases and decreases of non-cash stock-based compensation expense until the options are exercised, forfeited, modified or expired. This increase/reduction of compensation expense has been reflected in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as selling, general and administrative expense.
12. Comprehensive Loss
Comprehensive loss represents all non-owner changes in preferred stock, common stock and other stockholders’ equity and consists of the following:

13. Related Party Transaction
On June 28, 2005, we and InfoTech entered into a Second Amendment to Loan Documents (the “Second Amendment”) that amended, among other documents, that certain Commercial Loan Agreement (the “CLA”), that Term Note (the “Note”), and that Stock Pledge Agreement (together with the CLA and the Note, the “Loan Documents”) dated June 27, 2003, by and between us and InfoTech. Per the terms of the Loan Documents, we borrowed an original principal amount of $1,000,000 from InfoTech on June 27, 2003 (the “Loan”), which bears interest payable monthly at 16% per annum. On June 29, 2004, we and InfoTech entered into a First Amendment to Loan Documents that extended the original maturity date of the Loan from June 30, 2004 to June 30, 2005. Under the terms of the Second Amendment, InfoTech agreed to further extend the maturity date for the Loan under the Loan Documents from June 30, 2005 to June 30, 2006. All other terms and provisions of the Loan Documents remain unmodified and continue in full force and effect. The loan is not reflected in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as it has been eliminated in consolidation.
14. Legal Proceedings
We are currently involved in several legal proceedings. We have accrued our estimate of the probable costs for the resolution of these claims, and as of June 30, 2005, we have recorded approximately $3.3 million in reserves with respect to such claims. This estimate has been developed in consultation with outside counsel handling our defense in these matters and is based upon an analysis of potential results, assuming a combination of litigation and settlement strategies. We do not believe the outcome of these proceedings will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position. It is possible, however, that future results of operations for any particular quarterly or annual period could be materially affected by changes in our estimates.
PDSC versus Tahim
PDSC entered into a Settlement and Mutual General Release of Claims Agreement (the “Agreement”), among PDSC, us, Anne Tahim, an Accountancy Corporation, and Anne Tahim, individually (collectively, “Tahim”). The settlement related to a claim by PDSC and us against Tahim. Tahim was engaged as PDSC’s independent accounting firm prior to our acquisition of PDSC in October 2000. Under the terms of the Agreement, which became effective on July 22, 2005 upon the release of all parties, Tahim was obligated to pay PDSC $540,000 in cash on or before July 29, 2005. We received the cash payment on July 26, 2005. The Agreement replaced a short-form letter agreement entered into by the parties on June 29, 2005. The settlement payment is included in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as interest and other income.
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 claims that Allflex is marketing and selling a syringe implantable identification transponder that infringes a 1993 patent granted to the Company for syringe implantable identification transponders previously found by the United States District Court for the District of Colorado to be enforceable. The suit also claims that PetHealth is using, selling and/or distributing the same transponder in violation of the Company’s patent. The suit seeks, among other things, an adjudication of infringement and that the infringing parties be enjoined from further improper action. The suit seeks actual damages, punitive damages and interest, costs and attorneys’ fees. Allflex has 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 constitute an impermissible infringement of the patent and asked the Court for leave to amend the complaint to assert a claim against 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. The Company continues to believe that the suit is well-founded, and is considering whether to appeal the Court’s ruling.
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 intends to contest this action and to assert its claims under the patent.

Recent Financial Results
We reported loss from continuing operations of approximately $1.5 million and $2.5 million for the three-months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Included in the loss for the three-months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 was $0.8 million and $0.3 million, respectively, of interest reduction as a result of the revaluation of certain common stock warrants. The warrants are settleable into shares of the Digital Angel common stock that we own, are exercisable into shares of our common stock or are settleable/exercisable into a combination of shares from both companies at the holders’ option. As a result of the holders having the option to settle the warrants in shares of the Digital Angel common stock that we own, fluctuations in the market price of Digital Angel’s common stock result in increases/reductions in our interest expense. Also, included for the three-months ended June 30, 2005 was $0.5 million in legal settlement income, and for the three-months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 $0.4 million and $0.1 million, respectively, of loss attributable to capital transactions of subsidiary. Excluding these items, we incurred a loss from continuing operations of approximately $2.4 million and approximately $2.7 million for the three-months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
We reported income (loss) from continuing operations of approximately $0.1 million and $(2.8) million for the six-months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Included for the six-months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 was $3.2 million and $0.9 million, respectively, of interest reduction as a result of the revaluation of the common stock warrants settleable into shares of the Digital Angel common stock that we own. Also, included for the six-months ended June 30, 2005 was $0.5 million in legal settlement income and $0.5 million in recovery of a note receivable that had been previously
reserved, and for the six-months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 $0.9 million and $0.1 million, respectively, of gain attributable to capital transactions of subsidiary. Excluding these items, we incurred a loss from continuing operations of approximately $5.0 million and approximately $3.8 million for the six-months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Revenue - Revenue decreased in the three-months ended June 30, 2005 compared to the three-months ended June 30, 2004 primarily as a result of the termination of the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) MPI contract. The USPS terminated the contract for convenience in January 2005. Partially offsetting the decrease in revenue from the USPS MPI contract were aggregate revenues of approximately $3.0 million from VeriChip Inc. and Instantel, which were acquired on March 31, 2005 and June 10, 2005, respectively.
Revenues from the USPS MPI contract were approximately $0.0 million and $6.5 million of the Advanced Technology segment’s revenues in the three-months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Prior to receipt of notice of the contract’s termination for convenience, Computer Equity Corporation’s wholly-owned subsidiary, GTI, had fully completed the initial phase of the $18.0 million USPS MPI contract. Under the phase-two option that USPS had exercised, and which expanded the original project, GTI recognized approximately $10.3 million (of a potential $25.0 million) in additional revenue. GTI was entitled to be paid for the portion of the work performed prior to the notice of termination, plus reasonable charges that resulted from the termination.
Gross Profit and Gross Profit Margin - Gross profit on product and service sales increased in the three-months ended June 30, 2005 compared to the three-months ended June 30, 2004 primarily as a result of the inclusion of approximately $2.0 million of gross profit from VeriChip Inc. and Instantel.
Gross profit from call center and customer relationship management software sales increased by approximately $0.3 million in the three-months ended June 30, 2005 compared to the three-months ended June 30, 2004, while sales of voice, data and video telecommunications networks generated gross profit of approximately $1.2 million in the three-months ended June 30, 2005 compared to $1.5 million in the three-months ended June 30, 2004. The increase in the gross profit margin primarily reflected the higher margins associated with the recently acquired VeriChip Inc. and Instantel businesses, which generated average gross profit margins of approximately 67.8% during the three-months ended June 30, 2005, and the elimination of the lower margins that were earned on the USPS MPI contract.
Selling, General and Administrative Expense - The Advanced Technology segment’s selling, general and administrative expenses increased approximately $1.8 million in the three-months ended June 30, 2005 compared to the three-months ended June 30, 2004 primarily as a result of the selling, general, and administrative expense associated with VeriChip Inc. and Instantel.
Depreciation and Amortization - Depreciation and amortization expense increased in the three-months ended June 30, 2005 compared to the three-months ended June 30, 2004 as a result of the inclusion of approximately $0.5 million of expense associated with VeriChip Inc. and Instantel.
Interest and Other Income - Interest and other income for the three-months ended June 30, 2005 includes approximately $0.5 million of legal settlement income as a result of the settlement of a claim during the quarter.

Revenue - Revenue decreased by $7.1 million in the six-months ended June 30, 2005 compared to the six-months ended June 30, 2004 primarily as a result of the termination of the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) MPI contract in January 2005. Revenues from the USPS MPI contract were approximately $0.3 million and $10.7 million of the Advanced Technology segment’s revenues in the six-months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Partially offsetting the decrease were revenues of approximately $3.0 million from VeriChip Inc. and Instantel, which were acquired on March 31, 2005 and June 10, 2005, respectively.
As a result of the acquisitions of VeriChip Inc. and Instantel, we anticipate that revenues will increase during the second half of 2005. To date, we have not recorded significant revenues from sales of our VeriChip microchips and scanners. We have terminated many of our exclusive international distributor contracts because the distributor has not met the required purchase quotas. To replace these contracts, we have generally shifted our focus to non-exclusive international contracts, which we anticipate in the long run will create multiple distributors in each territory, and hopefully resulting in increased interest in the international marketplace. Also, since the FDA’s October 2004 approval of VeriChip for its medical applications, we have concentrated a significant portion of our efforts in the medical arena. During the last half of 2005, we hope to realize some increase in VeriChip revenue from sales of its medical related applications as a result of our increased focus and the synergies and distribution channels VeriChip Inc. and Instantel are expected to bring to VeriChip Corporation.
Gross Profit and Gross Profit Margin - Gross profit on product and service sales increased approximately $0.9 million in the six-months ended June 30, 2005 compared to the six-months ended June 30, 2004 primarily as a result of the inclusion of approximately $2.0 million of gross profit from VeriChip Inc. and Instantel. Gross profit from call center and customer relationship management software sales increased by approximately $0.3 million in the six-months ended June 30, 2005 compared to the six-months ended June 30, 2004, while sales of voice, data and video telecommunications networks generated gross profit of approximately $2.4 million in the six-months ended June 30, 2005 compared to $3.8 million in the six-months ended June 30, 2004 representing a decrease of $1.4 million. The increase in the gross profit margin primarily reflected the higher margins associated with the recently acquired VeriChip Inc. and Instantel businesses, which generated average gross profit margins of approximately 67.8% during the six-months ended June 30, 2005, and the elimination of the lower margins that were earned on the USPS MPI contract.
We expect gross profit to increase from its current levels during the remainder of 2005 as a result of the acquisitions of VeriChip Inc. and Instantel. We hope to realize some increase in gross profit and margins from sales of our VeriChip™ product during the remainder of 2005.
Selling, General and Administrative Expense - The Advanced Technology segment’s selling, general and administrative expenses increased approximately $2.2 million in the six-months ended June 30, 2005 compared to the six-months ended June 30, 2004. Approximately $1.8 million of the increase related to VeriChip Inc.’s and Instantel’s selling general and administrative expenses and approximately $0.3 million related to higher staff levels for our voice, data and video telecommunication networks business. As a result of an expectation of additional contract projects, we had increased our staff levels during the latter part of 2004. We expect our selling, general and administrative expense to increase in the future as a result of the VeriChip Inc. and Instantel acquisitions. This increase will be partially offset by a reduction in staff levels for our voice, data and video telecommunication networks business if additional contract projects do not materialize.
Depreciation and Amortization - Depreciation and amortization expense increased in the six-months ended June 30, 2005 compared to the six-months ended June 30, 2004 as a result of the inclusion of approximately $0.5 million of expense associated with VeriChip Inc. and Instantel.
Interest and Other Income - Interest and other income for the six-months ended June 30, 2005 includes approximately $0.5 million of legal settlement income as a result of the settlement of a claim during the period.

Revenue - Digital Angel’s Animal Applications division’s revenue increased $2.2 million in the three-months ended June 30, 2005 compared to the three-month period ended June 30, 2004. The increase in revenue was principally due to an increase in sales to fish and wildlife customer of $0.6 million, an increase in microchip and visual product sales to livestock customers of approximately $0.1 million, and the inclusion of $1.5 million of revenue from DSD. DSD was acquired on February 28, 2005.
Digital Angel’s GPS and Radio Communication division’s revenue increased $2.6 million in the three-months ended June 30, 2005 compared to the three-months ended June 30, 2004. The increase primarily relates to increased revenue related to shipments of the SARBE G2R pilot locator beacon to fulfill a contract with the government of India and shipments of upgraded antennas extensions to the United Kingdom Ministry of Defense.
Gross Profit and Gross Profit Margin - The Animal Applications division’s gross profit increased approximately $0.8 million in the three-months ended June 30, 2005 compared to the three-months ended June 30, 2004. We attribute $0.2 million of the increase to the previously mentioned sales increase and the inclusion of $0.6 million of gross profit from DSD. The gross margin percentage remained constant at 38.1% in the three-months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004.
The GPS and Radio Communications division’s gross profit increased $1.6 million in the three-months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to the three-months ended June 30, 2004. The gross margin percentage increased to 53.1% in the three-months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to 46.2% in the three-months period ended June 30, 2004. The increase in gross profit and gross profit margins results primarily from higher sales and margins related to shipments of the SARBE G2R pilot locator beacon.
Selling, General and Administrative Expense - The increase in selling, general and administrative expense relates to a charge of $0.4 million for tail coverage on Digital Angel’s directors and officers insurance policy, $0.3 million in legal expenses related to the protection of certain intellectual property, $0.2 million in compensation expense related to employee bonuses, $0.1 million in restricted stock expense and approximately $0.4 million of expense related to DSD and increased sales and marketing expenses associated with sales of the SARBE G2R pilot locator beacon. As a percentage of revenue, selling, general and administrative expenses increased in the three-months ended June 30, 2005 from the three-months ended June 30, 2004 primarily due to the increase in expenses.
Research and Development - Research and development increased in the three-months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to the three-months ended June 30, 2004. The increase was primarily related to OuterLink’s research and development efforts for the upgrade of its communication system hardware and software.
Interest Expense - Interest expense decreased as a result of the reduction in Digital Angel’s debt to $5.4 million at June 30, 2005 from $6.3 million at June 30, 2004. We assumed $3.8 million of debt in the acquisition of DSD on February 28, 2005. Interest expense in the three-months ended June 30, 2005 included discount amortization and deferred debt cost amortization.

These losses have been reflected as additional expense in the separate financial statements of Digital Angel included in its Form 10-Q for the six-months ended June 30, 2005. |
Revenue - Digital Angel’s Animal Applications division’s revenue increased $3.4 million in the six-months ended June 30, 2005 compared to the six-month period ended June 30, 2004. The increase in revenue was principally due to an increase in microchip and visual product sales to livestock customers of approximately $0.9 million, and the inclusion of $2.1 million of revenue from DSD, acquired on February 28, 2005.
Digital Angel’s GPS and Radio Communication division’s revenue increased $4.0 million in the six-months ended June 30, 2005 compared to the six-months ended June 30, 2004. The increase primarily relates to increased revenue related to shipments of the SARBE G2R pilot locator beacon to fulfill a contract with the government of India and antennas to the United Kingdom Ministry of Defense.
We anticipate that our Digital Angel segment’s revenues will continue to increase during the remainder of 2005, as a result of the acquisition of DSD on February 28, 2005, as well as through growth
of its existing businesses. Several bills proposing the establishment of a national electronic identification program for livestock have recently been introduced in Congress. We cannot estimate the impact a national identification program would have on Digital Angel’s revenue. However, if implemented, it is not improbable that the impact would be favorable.
Gross Profit and Gross Profit Margin - The Animal Applications division’s gross profit increased approximately $1.5 million in the six-months ended June 30, 2005 compared to the six-months ended June 30, 2004. We attribute $0.7 million of the increase to the previously mentioned sales increase and increased gross profit margins, and the inclusion of $0.8 million of gross profit from DSD. The gross margin percentage increased to 39.6% in the six-months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to 38.9% in the six-months ended June 30, 2004 due to a mix of higher margin revenue in the six-months ended June 30, 2005 compared to the six-months ended June 30, 2004.
The GPS and Radio Communications division’s gross profit increased $2.5 million in the three-months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to the three-months ended June 30, 2004. The gross margin percentage increased to 52.0% in the three-months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to 46.4% in the three-months period ended June 30, 2004. The increase in gross profit and gross profit margin results primarily from increased sales and higher margins related to shipments of the SARBE G2R pilot locator beacon.
Selling, General and Administrative Expense - The increase in selling, general and administrative expense relates to increased legal and insurance expense, approximately $0.5 million of expense related to DSD, and increased sales and marketing expenses associated with sales of the SARBE G2R pilot locator beacon.
Research and Development - Research and development increased in the six-months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to the six-months ended June 30, 2004. Approximately $0.2 million of the increase is related to the Animal Applications division’s research and development efforts and $0.5 million is related to OuterLink’s research and development efforts. OuterLink was acquired on January 22, 2004.
Interest Expense - Interest expense decreased as a result of the reduction in Digital Angel’s debt to $5.4 million at June 30, 2005 from $6.3 million at June 30, 2004.

Revenue - The decrease in InfoTech’s product revenue for the three-months ended June 30, 2005 was primarily due to a decrease in product sales to some of InfoTech’s large customers compared to the prior year period, combined with a drop in time and material services sales related to a service contract with IBM Corporation.
Gross Profit and Gross Profit Margin - The increase in InfoTech’s gross profit in the three-months ended June 30, 2005 compared to the three-months ended June 30, 2004 was primarily due to higher than usual product margins which was somewhat offset by lower than usual service gross margins. Total gross profit margin increased from 16.0% in the three-months ended June 30, 2004 to 21.9% in the three-months ended June 30, 2005. The increase was due to a combination of favorable pricing from our vendors, stemming from price drops and negotiated terms, and an increase in high-end product sales. This was somewhat offset by low service margins stemming from an underutilization of technicians and engineers during the three-months ended June 30, 2005.
Selling, General and Administrative Expense - The increase in InfoTech’s selling, general and administrative expense was primarily due to salary increases given to non-management personnel, higher selling expense and commissions related to higher gross profit, and increased accounting expenses associated with evaluation of our internal control required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of
2002. We expect our management and administrative staff to be sufficient to meet customer demand; however we may need to add additional personnel in the sales and technical areas of the business as sales volume dictates.

Revenue - The decrease in InfoTech’s product revenue for the six-months ended June 30, 2005 was primarily a result of a drop in time and material services sales due to a significant reduction in volume from our IBM Corporation service contract. We do not expect the sales volume from the IBM Corporation contract to return to last year’s levels. However, we expect our overall sales volume for the last half of 2005 to return to levels at or above the prior year due to the improved IT market conditions and InfoTech’s continued focus on high-end, Intel-based products and related services.
Gross Profit and Gross Profit Margin - The increase in InfoTech’s gross profit in the six-months ended June 30, 2005 compared to the six-months ended June 30, 2004 was primarily due to improved product margins, which was largely offset by lower service margins. Total gross profit margin increased from 16.6% in the six-months ended June 30, 2004 to 20.3% in the six-months ended June 30, 2005. Product margins increased due to the increase in sales of high-end products, which yield higher profit margins, and favorable product pricing from our vendors in the six-months ended June 30, 2005. Service margins decreased to 18.3% in the six-months ended June 30, 2005 from 36.1% in the six-months ended
June 30, 2004. This decrease was primarily due to the underutilization of technicians and engineers. We expect overall margins to be steady for the balance of 2005 due to InfoTech’s focus on high-end products and related services and our efforts made during the end of the first quarter to improve the utilization of our technicians and engineers.
Selling, General and Administrative Expense - InfoTech’s decrease in selling, general and administrative expense was primarily due to the reversal of a litigation reserve following the settlement of the lawsuit with InfoTech’s former President, Chief Executive Officer and director, which was largely offset by an increase in sales expense, an increase in salaries to non-management personnel, and an increase in accounting expenses associated with the evaluation of our internal control required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Accounting fees in 2005 are expected to remain higher than last year due to the expenses related to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. We expect InfoTech’s management and administrative staff to be sufficient for the balance of the year; however, we may need to add additional personnel in the sales and technical areas of the business as sales volume dictates.

Research and Development - In mid-2004, we made a decision to downsize our Corporate Research Group. In January 2005 and again in March 2005, we made decisions to further downsize our Corporate Research Group, and effective March 31, 2005, we no longer had a Corporate Research Group. The research and development of approximately $0.1 million for the three-months ended June 30, 2005 is primarily associated with severance related expenses. Going forward the majority of our research and development will be handled through our segments.
Interest Expense Reduction - Our interest expense varies as a result of increases and/or decreases in the market price of Digital Angel’s common stock. This is a result of the warrants that we issued to the purchasers of our debentures issued on June 30, 2003. The debentures were fully converted as of December 31, 2003. The liability for the warrants, to the extent potentially settleable in shares of the Digital Angel common stock owned by us, is required to be revalued at each reporting period with any resulting increase/(decrease) being charged/(credited) to operations as an increase/reduction in interest expense. The warrants are settleable into shares of the Digital Angel common stock that we own, are exercisable into shares of our common stock or are settleable/exercisable into a combination of shares from both companies at the holders’ option. As of June 30, 2005, warrants were outstanding and settleable into 0.8 million shares of the Digital Angel common stock that we own or exercisable into 0.4 million shares of our common stock. As a result of the holders having the option to settle the warrants in shares of the Digital Angel common stock that we own, fluctuations in the market price of Digital Angel’s common stock result in increases/reductions in our interest expense. During the three-months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, we recorded interest expense reductions of $0.8 million and $0.3 million, respectively, as a result of such revaluations. Partially offsetting the decrease in expense associated with the interest reduction was $0.1 million of interest expense recorded on the Notes issued on June 10, 2005.

Selling, General and Administrative Expense - The decrease in selling, general and administrative expense in the six-months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to the six-months ended June 30, 2004 was primarily a result of bonus expense of approximately $0.7 million recorded during the six-months ended June 30, 2004, as compared to bonus expense of approximately $0.1 million recorded during the six-months ended June 30, 2005. The bonuses were accrued under the terms of an executive/senior management Incentive Recognition Policy and are based upon the achievement of certain prescribed goals.
Research and Development - In mid-2004, we made a decision to downsize our Corporate Research Group. In January 2005 and again in March 2005, we made decisions to further downsize our Corporate Research Group, and effective March 31, 2005, we no longer had a Corporate Research Group. Going forward the majority of our research and development will be handled through our segments.
Interest and Other Income - Interest and Other Income is primarily a function of our short-term investments and interest earned on notes receivable.
Interest Expense Reduction - Our interest expense varies as a result of increases and/or decreases in the market price of Digital Angel’s common stock. This is a result of the warrants that we issued to the purchasers of our debentures issued on June 30, 2003. The debentures were fully converted as of December 31, 2003. The liability for the warrants, to the extent potentially settleable in shares of the Digital Angel common stock owned by us, is required to be revalued at each reporting period with any resulting increase/(decrease) being charged/(credited) to operations as an increase/reduction in interest expense. The warrants are settleable into shares of the Digital Angel common stock that we own, are exercisable into shares of our common stock or are settleable/exercisable into a combination of shares from both companies at the holders’ option. As of June 30, 2005, warrants were outstanding and settleable into 0.8 million shares of the Digital Angel common stock that we own or exercisable into 0.4 million shares of our common stock. As a result of the holders having the option to settle the warrants in shares of the Digital Angel common stock that we own, fluctuations in the market price of Digital Angel’s common stock result in increases/reductions in our interest expense. During the six-months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, we recorded interest expense reductions of $3.2 million and $0.9 million, respectively, as a result of such revaluations. Partially offsetting the decrease in expense associated with the interest reduction was $0.1 million of interest expense recorded on the Notes issued on June 10, 2005.
Income Taxes
We had effective income tax rates of 4.5% and 1.0% for the three-months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and 3.6% and 3.4% for the six-months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Differences in the effective income tax rates from the statutory federal income tax rate arise from state taxes (benefits) net of federal benefits, the increase or reduction of valuation allowances related to net operating loss carry forwards, non-deductible goodwill amortization associated with acquisitions and other deferred tax assets. As of June 30, 2005, we have provided a valuation allowance to fully reserve the majority of our net operating loss carry forwards and our other existing net deferred tax assets, primarily as a result of our recent losses.
Net Gain/Loss on Capital Transactions of Subsidiary and Loss Attributable to Changes in Minority Interest as a Result of Capital Transactions of Subsidiary
Gains where realized and losses on issuances of shares of stock by our consolidated subsidiary, Digital Angel, are reflected in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. We determined that such recognition of gains and losses on issuances of shares of stock by Digital Angel was appropriate since the shares issued to date were not sales of unissued shares in a public offering, we do not plan to reacquire the shares issued and the value of the proceeds could be objectively determined.
During the three-months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, we recorded a gain of $31,522 and $0.2 million, respectively, on the issuances of 7,500 and 0.2 million shares of Digital Angel’s common stock, respectively. During the six-months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, we recorded a gain of $0.4 million and incurred a loss of $1.8 million, respectively, on the issuances of 0.2 million and 4.0 million shares of Digital Angel’s common stock, respectively.
In addition, Digital Angel issued 0.6 million shares during the six-months ended June 30, 2005 under the terms of the Share Exchange Agreement between Digital Angel and us, as discussed in Note 7 to the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, which did not result in a gain or loss on issuance). Also, during the three and six-months ended June 30, 2004, Digital Angel issued 150,000 shares, which we acquired under the terms of a letter agreement among us, Digital Angel and Laurus Master Fund, Ltd., Digital Angel’s previous lender. Gains/losses on issuances of shares under the letter agreement were not included in the gains/losses noted above, as we intended to acquire such shares upon issuance.
The remaining shares issued by Digital Angel during the three and six-months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 resulted from the issuance on March 1, 2004 of 3.0 million shares under an initial share exchange agreement with us, the exercise of Digital Angel’s stock options and warrants, the conversion of its preferred stock and for payment of services. The gain (loss) is comprised of (i) the minority owners’ interest in the value of the 3.0 million shares issued by Digital Angel to us on March 1, 2004, and (ii) net of gains from the issuance of shares in connection with the exercise of options and warrants, the conversion of preferred stock and for payment of services. The net gains resulted from the difference between the carrying amount of our pro-rata share of our investment in Digital Angel and the net proceeds from the issuances of the stock.
In addition, we recorded a loss of $0.4 million and $0.3 million during the three-months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and a gain of $0.5 million and $1.9 million during the six-months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, attributable to changes in the minority interest ownership as a result of the capital transactions of Digital Angel, including the purchase of 50,000 and 0.3 million shares of treasury stock by Digital Angel during the three and six-months ended June 30, 2005, respectively.
RESULTS OF DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
During the second quarter of 2004, Digital Angel’s Board of Directors approved a plan to sell our Medical Systems operations, and accordingly, the business assets of Medical Systems were sold in 2004. Medical Systems was one of our reporting units in accordance with SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (“FAS 142”). Accordingly, the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of Medical Systems have been reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented. The following discloses the operating losses from discontinued operations for the three and six-months ended June 30, 2004, consisting of loss attributable to Medical Systems (we did not incur operating income/loss from discontinued operations during the three and six-months ended June 30, 2005:

The above results do not include any allocated or common overhead expenses. We have not provided a provision/benefit for income taxes on the income/losses attributable to Medical Systems. We do not anticipate Medical Systems incurring additional losses in the future. However, in accordance with SFAS 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (“FAS 144”), any additional operating losses will be reflected in our financial condition and results of operations as incurred.
On March 1, 2001, our board of directors approved a plan to offer for sale our IntelleSale business segment and several other non-core businesses. Prior to approving the plan, the assets and results of operations of the non-core businesses had been segregated for external and internal financial reporting purposes from our assets and results of operations. All of these non-core businesses were part of their own reporting unit for segment reporting purposes and all of these businesses were being held for sale. These five individually managed businesses operated in manufacturing and fabricating industries apart from our core businesses. Accordingly, these businesses were reclassified and reported as discontinued operations. The plan of disposal anticipated that these entities would be sold or closed within 12 months from March 1, 2001, the defined “measurement date”.
We have sold or closed all of the businesses comprising discontinued operations. Proceeds from the sales of discontinued operations companies were used primarily to repay debt.
We accounted for our Intellesale segment and our other non-core businesses as discontinued operations in accordance with APB No. 30, Reporting the Results of Operations-Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions (“APB No. 30”). APB No. 30, of which portions related to the accounting for discontinued operations have been superceded by the provisions of FAS 144, required that we accrue estimates for future operating losses, gains/losses on sale, costs to dispose and carrying costs of these businesses at the time the businesses were discontinued. Accordingly, at December 31, 2000, we recorded a provision for operating losses and carrying costs during the phase-out period for our Intellesale and other non-core businesses including estimated disposal costs to be incurred in selling the businesses. Carrying costs consisted primarily of cancellation of facility and equipment leases, legal settlements, employment contract buyouts and sales tax liabilities.
During the three-months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, we increased the estimated loss on disposal of discontinued operations of by approximately $0 and $13,000, respectively. During the six-months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, we increased (reduced) the estimated loss on disposal of discontinued operations by approximately $4,000 and $(2.1) million, respectively. During the six-month ended June 30, 2004 certain carrying costs were settled for less than previously anticipated. Carrying costs totaled $0.9 million and $0.9 million as of June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively. We do not anticipate any future losses related to discontinued operations as a result of changes in carrying costs. However, actual losses could differ from our estimates and any adjustments will be reflected in our future financial statements.
Net (Loss) Income
During the three-months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, we reported a net loss of approximately $1.5 million and $3.0 million, respectively, and net income (loss) of approximately $0.1 million and $(1.5) million, respectively, for the six-months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004. Included in
the loss for the three-months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 was $0.8 million and $0.3 million, respectively, of interest reduction as a result of the revaluation of certain common stock warrants. The warrants are settleable into shares of the Digital Angel common stock that we own, are exercisable into shares of our common stock or are settleable/exercisable into a combination of shares from both companies at the holders’ option. As a result of the holders having the option to settle the warrants in shares of the Digital Angel common stock that we own, fluctuations in the market price of Digital Angel’s common stock result in increases/reductions in our interest expense. Also, included for the three-months ended June 30, 2005 was $0.5 million in legal settlement income, and for the three-months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 $0.4 million and $0.1 million, respectively, of loss attributable to capital transactions of subsidiary. Included in the net loss for the three-months ended June 30, 2004 was approximately $0.5 million of losses from discontinued operations. Excluding these items, we incurred a loss of approximately $2.4 million and approximately $2.7 million for the three-months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
Included in net income (loss) for the six-months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 was $3.2 million and $0.9 million, respectively, of interest reduction as a result of the revaluation of the common stock warrants settleable into shares of the Digital Angel common stock owned by us. Also, included for the six-months ended June 30, 2005 was $0.5 million in legal settlement income and $0.5 million in recovery of a note receivable that had had previously reserved, and for the six-months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 $0.9 million and $0.1 million, respectively, of gain attributable to capital transactions of subsidiary. Included in the net loss for the six-months ended June 30, 2004 was approximately $1.3 million of income from discontinued operations. Excluding these items, we incurred a loss of approximately $5.0 million and approximately $3.8 million for the six-months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS
As of June 30, 2005, cash and cash equivalents totaled $22.1 million, a decrease of $8.7 million, or 28.2%, from $30.8 million at December 31, 2004.
Operating activities used cash of $6.7 million and $9.4 million during the six-months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. During the six-months ended June 30, 2005, cash was used primarily for payment of accounts payable and accrued expenses and other current assets, offset by increased collections of accounts receivable. During the six-months ended June 30, 2004, cash was used primarily for purchases of inventory, payments of accounts payable and accrued expenses and to fund discontinued operations.
Accounts and unbilled receivables, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, increased $3.7 million to $20.3 million at June 30, 2005 compared to $16.6 million at December 31, 2004. The increase in accounts receivable resulted primarily from the acquisitions of DSD, VeriChip Inc. and Instantel during the six-months ended June 30, 2005.
Inventory increased by approximately $3.9 million, or 48.1%, to $12.0 million at June 30, 2005, from $8.1 million at December 31, 2004. We attribute the increase primarily to the acquisitions of DSD, VeriChip Inc. and Instantel during the six-months ended June 30, 2005. DSD, VeriChip Inc. and Instantel contributed $1.4 million, $0.4 million and $1.7 million of the increase, respectively,
Accounts payable increased by $4.2 million, or 45.2%, to $13.5 million at June 30, 2005, from $9.3 million at December 31, 2004, due primarily the acquisitions of DSD, VeriChip Inc. and Instantel during the six-months ended June 30, 2005.
Accrued expenses decreased by $3.5 million, or 16.8%, to $17.3 million at June 30, 2005, from $20.8 million at December 31, 2004, due primarily to payments during the six-months ended June 30, 2005 of bonuses and other items that were accrued at December 31, 2004.
Dividends payable of approximately $1.5 million at June 30, 2005 are associated with our Preferred Stock, which we issued on June 10, 2005 in connection with the Instantel acquisition.
Investing activities used cash of $22.0 million and provided cash of $0.7 million during the six-months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. During the six-months ended June 30, 2005, cash of $22.0 million was used for payments of costs of business acquisitions, net of cash acquired, and cash of $0.9 million was used to purchase property and equipment. Partially offsetting these uses was cash of $0.8 million provided from the collection of notes receivable. During the six-months ended June 30, 2004, cash of $0.7 million was provided primarily from the collection of notes receivable, cash of $0.6 million was provided by discontinued operations, and cash of $0.7 million resulted from a decrease in other assets. Partially offsetting these sources was cash of $0.8 million that was used to purchase property and equipment, and cash of $0.5 million that was used to purchase shares of Digital Angel.
Financing activities provided cash of $20.0 million and $9.0 million during the six-months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. During the six-months ended June 30, 2005, $17.4 million was provided by the Preferred Stock and Notes, $2.1 million of cash was used for payment of borrowings and notes payable, and cash of $6.0 million was provided from the issuances of common shares. During the six-months ended June 30, 2004, cash of $5.7 million was provided from the issuances of common shares, and $3.7 million of cash was provided by the issuances of common stock and sale of our shares under the Share Exchange Agreement.
Financial Condition
As of June 30, 2005, our consolidated cash and cash equivalents totaled $22.1 million. Our Advanced Technology segment and “Corporate/Eliminations” had a combined cash balance of $8.9 million, Digital Angel had a cash balance of $12.7 million, and InfoTech had a cash balance of $0.5 million. The specific components and the approximate amount of funds that we anticipate that we will need to continue operating for the next twelve months are as follows:
· | To fund operations (excluding research and development) -$3.0 million; |
· | To fund research and development - $5.0 million; |
· | To fund capital expenditures - $2.5 million (we do not have any material commitments for capital expenditures); and |
· | To fund principal debt payments - approximately $2.3 million. (We anticipate converting the Notes into shares of our Preferred Stock as more fully discussed below). |
We anticipate the cash outlay for our research and development efforts relating to our Advanced Technology segment to be approximately $1.0 million and that Digital Angel’s cash outlay for its research and development efforts will be approximately $4.0 million for the next twelve months. InfoTech does not currently incur research and development expense.
We estimate that our Advanced Technology segment’s capital expenditures will be approximately $0.1 million, that Digital Angel’s capital expenditures will be approximately $2.4 million, and that InfoTech’s capital expenditures for the next 12 months will be de minimis.
Liquidity
We believe that we have sufficient funds to operate our business over the next twelve months. However, our goal is to achieve profitability and to generate positive cash flows from operations. Our capital requirements depend on a variety of factors, including but not limited to, the rate of increase or decrease in our existing business base, the success, timing, and amount of investment required to bring new products on-line, revenue growth or decline, and potential acquisitions. Failure to generate positive cash flow from operations will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Our ability to achieve profitability and/or generate positive cash flows from operations in the future is predicated upon numerous factors with varying levels of importance as follows:
· | First, we will attempt to successfully implement our business plans, manage expenditures according to our budget, and generate positive cash flow from operations; |
· | Second, we will attempt to develop an effective marketing and sales strategy in order to grow our business and compete successfully in our markets; |
· | Third, we will attempt to expand the market for our VeriChipTM product, particularly for its medical, security and financial applications; and |
· | Fourth, we will attempt to realize positive cash flow with respect to our investment in Digital Angel in order to provide us with an appropriate return on our investment. |
We have established a management plan intended to guide us in achieving profitability and positive cash flows from operations over the next 12 months. The major components of our plan are as follows:
· | to attempt to establish a sustainable positive cash flow business model; |
· | to attempt to produce additional cash flow and revenue from our advanced technology products - VeriChipTM, Bio-ThermoTM and Thermo LifeTM; |
· | to attempt to generate additional liquidity through divestiture of business units and assets that are not critical to us; |
· | to attempt to expand the markets/distribution channels for VeriChip through the acquisitions of VeriChip Inc. and Instantel, which provide VeriChip Corporation with complementary companies that brings experienced management, revenue and a synergistic customer base; and |
· | to attempt to continue Digital Angel’s growth under the leadership of its management team and through strategic acquisitions such as the recent acquisition of DSD. |
No assurance can be given that we will be successful in implementing the plan. Our profitability and liquidity depends on many factors, including the success of our marketing programs, the maintenance and reduction of expenses and our ability to successfully develop and bring to market our new products and technologies.
Senior Unsecured Convertible Notes
As discussed in Note 4 to our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, we borrowed an aggregate of $5.0 million from the two investors under the Notes due December 10, 2005. We are entitled to extend the maturity of the Notes for an additional three months if the market price of our common stock on any of the ten trading days ending on and including the original maturity is less than the floor price of $3.25 per share. The Notes are payable in cash or, under certain conditions, are exchangeable for shares of our Preferred Stock upon maturity, at our option, as more fully discussed in Note 4 to our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Currently, we meet all of those conditions. We believe that it is likely that we will meet those conditions upon maturity of the Notes, and we intend to exchange the Notes for shares of our Preferred Stock. While, we currently have sufficient funds to repay the Notes in cash, such cash repayment would materially and adversely affect our cash flow. In that event, we would be required, although there can be no assurance that we would be successful, to borrow funds, if available, or issue equity or debt or rely on our other sources of liquidity to raise funds to meet our needs.
We believe that with the cash we have on hand and the revenue and related cash flows we expect to generate during the next 12 months from our Advanced Technology segment, along with the availability under VeriChip Inc.’s credit line with Royal Bank of Canada of approximately $1.2 million as of June 30, 2005, we will have sufficient funds available to cover the operating expenses of this segment as well as our corporate overhead (exclusive of the corporate overhead of Digital Angel and InfoTech) for the next 12 months. We believe that Digital Angel has sufficient funds, with related cash flows, to cover its operating expenses over the next 12 to 24 months due to its cash on hand and its expected cash flow from operations. We believe that our InfoTech segment will have sufficient funds to cover its operating expenses over the next 12 months as a result of cash flow from operations, and InfoTech’s availability under its credit facility with Wells Fargo Business Credit Inc. and its wholesale financing agreement with IBM Credit LLC. As of June 30, 2005, InfoTech has approximately $0.5 million and $0.2 million available under its credit facility and wholesale financing agreement, respectively.
During 2005 and beyond, our focus will be to generate significant revenue and cash flow from VeriChip™, Bio-Thermo™ and Thermo Life™ products. We hope to realize positive cash flow in the next twelve months and beyond as these products gain customer acceptance and awareness throughout the world.
Outlook
We are constantly looking for ways to maximize shareholder value. As such, we are continually seeking operational efficiencies and synergies within our operating segments as well as evaluating acquisitions of businesses and customer bases which complement our operations. These strategic initiatives may include acquisitions, raising additional funds through debt or equity offerings, or the divestiture of business units that are not critical to our long-term strategy or other restructuring or rationalization of existing operations. We will continue to review all alternatives to ensure maximum appreciation of our shareholders’ investments. However, initiatives may not be found, or if found, they may not be on terms favorable to us.
IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (“FAS 123R”), which replaces FAS 123 and supercedes APB No. 25. FAS 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 provision of FAS 123R will become effective for us beginning
January 1, 2006, with early adoption encouraged. The pro forma disclosures previously permitted under FAS 123 no longer will be an alternative to financial statement recognition. Under FAS 123R, we must determine the appropriate fair value model to be used for valuing share-based payments, the amortization method for compensation cost and the transition method to be used at date of adoption. The transition methods include prospective and retroactive adoption options. We are evaluating the requirements of FAS 123R and expect that the adoption of FAS 123R will have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations and earnings per share. We have not yet determined the method of adoption or the effect of adopting FAS 123R, and we have not determined whether the adoption will result in amounts that are similar to the current pro forma disclosures under FAS 123. In addition, we have not yet determined the impact of FAS 123R on our compensation policies or plans, if any.
Forward-Looking Statements
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 includes statements relating to:
· | our growth strategies including, without limitation, our ability to deploy our products and services including VeriChip™, Bio-Thermo™, Digital Angel™, Thermo Life™, HALO™, Hugs®, WatchMate®, RoamAlert™ and Assetrac™. |
· | the ability to hire and retain skilled personnel; |
· | relationships with and dependence on technological partners; |
· | uncertainties relating to customer plans and commitments; |
· | our ability to successfully integrate the business operations of acquired companies; |
· | our future profitability and liquidity; |
· | on our ability to obtain patents, enforce those patents, preserve trade secrets, and operate without infringing on the proprietary rights of third parties; |
· | governmental export and import policies, global trade policies, worldwide political stability and economic growth; |
· | regulatory, competitive or other economic influences; and |
· | all statements referring to the future or future events. |
In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “attempt,” “intends,”
“plans,”“hopes,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates” and similar expressions intended to 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. Also, these forward-looking statements represent our estimates and assumptions only as of the date the statement was made.
The information in this Form 10-Q is as of June 30, 2005, or, where clearly indicated, as of the date of this filing. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. We also may make additional disclosures in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K that we may file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Please also note that we provide a cautionary discussion of risks and uncertainties under the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004. These are factors that we think could cause our actual results to differ materially from expected results. Other factors besides those listed could also adversely affect us.
With our United Kingdom, Denmark and Canadian subsidiaries we have operations and sales in various regions of the world. Additionally, we 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 are denominated in local currencies and may be affected as currency fluctuations affect our product prices and operating costs or those of our competitors.
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. As of June 30, 2005, our debt consisted of InfoTech’s borrowings under its credit facility with Wells Fargo bearing interest at prime plus 3%, Digital Angel’s borrowings under a Danish credit facility bearing interest at prime plus 2%, the Notes and a mortgage and capitalized leases with fixed or implicit interest rates. Our interest income is sensitive to changes in the general level of U.S. interest rates, particularly since the majority of our investments are short-term.
Due to the nature of our short-term investments, we have concluded that there is no material market risk exposure and, therefore, no quantitative tabular disclosure is required.
Due to the de minimis amounts of foreign currency gains/losses recorded in our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and the amount of foreign currency translation adjustment included in Other Comprehensive Income, we have concluded that there is no material market risk exposure, and therefore, no quantitative tabular disclosure is required. A 10% change in the applicable foreign exchange rates would result in an increase or decrease in our foreign currency gains and losses and translation adjustments of a de minimis amount.
The table below presents the principal amount and weighted-average interest rate for our debt portfolio:
Carrying Value at June 30, 2005 Dollars in Millions | ||||
Total notes payable and long-term debt | $ | 10.5 | ||
Notes payable bearing interest at fixed interest rates | $ | 6.9 | ||
Weighted-average interest rate during the six-months ended June 30, 2005 | 10.5 | % |
(1) The weighted-average interest rate during the six-months ended June 30, 2005 excluded the impact of approximately $3.2 million of non-cash interest expense reduction associated with the revaluation of warrants which are settleable in shares of the Digital Angel common stock owned by us.
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 240.13a - 15(e) and 240.15d - 15(e)) as of the end of the quarterly period ended June 30, 2005. Based on that evaluation, they have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report are effective in timely providing them with material information relating to the Company required to be disclosed in the reports the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act. The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurances of achieving their objectives and the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in reaching that level of reasonable assurance.
(b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have not been any changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting identified in connection with an evaluation thereof that occurred during the Company’s second fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonable likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. There were no significant deficiencies or material weaknesses, and therefore no corrective actions were taken.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
We are currently involved in several legal proceedings. We have accrued our estimate of the probable costs for the resolution of these claims, and as of June 30, 2005, we have recorded approximately $3.3 million in reserves with respect to such claims. This estimate has been developed in consultation with outside counsel handling our defense in these matters and is based upon an analysis of potential results, assuming a combination of litigation and settlement strategies. We do not believe the outcome of these proceedings will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position. It is possible, however, that future results of operations for any particular quarterly or annual period could be materially affected by changes in our estimates. See Note 14 to our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of certain of these proceedings, incorporated herein by reference.
In addition to the sales of unregistered securities reported on our Current Reports on Form 8-K, we had the following unregistered sales of equity securities during the three-months ended June 30, 2005:

75,038 |
1) | Represents shares which were issued in a transaction that was exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. The transaction documents included an acknowledgment that the sale was not registered, that the purchaser was acquiring the shares for investment and not for resale, and that the purchaser acknowledged that the shares must be held until registered or transferred in another transaction exempt from registration. In addition, the certificate representing the shares was legended to indicate that they were restricted. |

On June 11, 2005, our shareholders approved an amendment and restatement of our 2003 Flexible Stock Plan (the “2003 Plan”) to increase the number of authorized shares of our common stock issuable under the plan from 2,600,000 to 5,200,000 shares, to ensure compliance with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, and to modify the plan to provide that awards granted under the plan generally will not be subject to the tax deduction limits of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. The 2003 Plan is intended to attract, retain, motivate and reward employees, directors and other individuals and to encourage ownership of our common stock by employees, directors and other individuals. The 2003 Plan also allows us to grant awards of our common stock in lieu of payments of cash compensation pursuant to the mutual agreement of a participant and us. On July 6, 2005, we granted 1.8 million options under the 2003 Plan to our directors and executive officers, and on August 5, 2005, we granted 7,385 shares of our common stock to one of our directors as payment for directors’ fees. The 2003 Plan is included as Exhibit 10.13 to this Quarterly Report.
On June 1l, 2005, our shareholders approved an amendment to our 1999 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Stock Purchase Plan”) increasing the number of shares of our common stock, which may be issued under the Stock Purchase Plan to from 900,000 to 1,300,000. The Stock Purchase Plan provides for the granting of options to our employees and employees of our subsidiaries who are eligible to participate in the Stock Purchase Plan and who elect to participate. The Stock Purchase Plan is intended to qualify as an “Employee Stock Purchase Plan” under Section 423 of the Code. On July 5, 2005, we granted 200 options to our executive officers under the Stock Purchase Plan. The Stock Purchase Plan is included as Exhibit 10.14 to this Quarterly Report.
On June 1l, 2005, our shareholders approved the adoption of the 2005 Flexible Stock Plan of VeriChip Corporation, our subsidiary (the “VeriChip Plan”).

The VeriChip Plan is also intended to allow VeriChip Corporation to grant awards of VeriChip Corporation’s common stock in lieu of payments of cash compensation pursuant to the mutual agreement of a participant and VeriChip Corporation. To date, no awards have been made to our directors or executive officers under the VeriChip Plan. The VeriChip Plan is included as Exhibit 10.15 to this Quarterly Report.
On June 1l, 2005, our shareholders approved the adoption of the 2005 Flexible Stock Plan of Thermo Life Energy Corp., our subsidiary (the “Thermo Life Plan”). The Thermo Life Plan is intended to attract, retain, motivate and reward employees, directors and other individuals and to encourage ownership by employees, directors and other individuals of Thermo Life Energy Corp.’s common stock. The Thermo Life Plan is also intended to allow Thermo Life Energy Corp. to grant awards of Thermo Life Energy Corp.’s common stock in lieu of payments of cash compensation pursuant to the mutual agreement of a participant and Thermo Life Energy Corp.

The settlement related to a claim by PDSC and us against Tahim. Tahim was engaged as PDSC’s independent accounting firm prior to our acquisition of PDSC in October 2000. Under the terms of the Agreement, which became effective on July 22, 2005 upon the release of all parties, Tahim was obligated to pay PDSC $540,000. The Agreement replaced a short-form letter agreement entered into by the parties on June 29, 2005.
