APPLIED DIGITAL SOLUTIONS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Basis of Presentation
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 September 30, 2006, and December 31, 2005 (the December 31, 2005, financial information included in this report has been extracted from our audited financial statements included in our 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended), and for the three and nine-months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 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 2005 periods have been reclassified for comparative purposes.
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.
The unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine-months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year. These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the year ended December 31, 2005.
During 2005, we realigned our business into four segments as a result of our subsidiary, VeriChip Corporation’s, referred to as VeriChip, acquisitions of VeriChip Holdings Inc., or VHI, and Instantel Inc., or Instantel, as more fully discussed in Note 7. Effective April 1, 2006, we further realigned our segments and we now operate in six business segments: Healthcare, Security and Industrial, Animal Applications, GPS and Radio Communications, Advanced Technology and InfoTech USA, Inc., referred to as InfoTech. Our Healthcare and Security and Industrial segments represent the business operations of VeriChip, and our Animal Applications and GPS and Radio Communications segments represent the business operations of our majority-owned subsidiary, Digital Angel Corporation, or Digital Angel. Prior period information has been reclassified accordingly. Our segments are more fully discussed in Note 6.
APPLIED DIGITAL SOLUTIONS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Discontinued Operations
The business assets associated with Digital Angel’s former Medical Systems operations were sold during the second quarter of 2004. In addition, on March 1, 2001, our board of directors approved a plan to sell or close Intellesale, Inc. and all of our other non-core businesses. The results of operations, financial condition and cash flows of these businesses are included in discontinued operations. All of these businesses have been sold or closed.
Other Events
On December 29, 2005, VeriChip filed a registration statement, which it amended on April 7, 2006, May 28, 2006 and June 23, 2006, to register shares of its common stock in an initial public offering. VeriChip has applied to have its common stock quoted on the Nasdaq National Market under the symbol “CHIP.” The number of shares to be offered and the price range for the offering have not yet been determined. However, our plan is to retain a majority interest in and, therefore, to continue to consolidate the financial results of VeriChip. The registration statement has not yet become effective and the securities being offered may not be sold nor may offers to buy be accepted prior to the time the registration statement becomes effective.
Stock-Based Compensation
At September 30, 2006, we had several stock-based employee compensation plans, which are more fully described in Note 12 in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the year ended 2005. As permitted under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123, Accounting for Stock-based Compensation (“FAS 123”), through December 31, 2005, we 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 was recognized for any of our fixed stock options granted to employees when the exercise price of each option equaled or exceeded 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, resulted in variable accounting in accordance with APB 25. Accordingly, compensation expense was measured in accordance with APB 25 and recognized over the vesting period. If the modified grant was fully vested, any additional compensation costs were recognized immediately.
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment ("FAS 123R"), which replaced FAS 123 and supercedes APB 25. FAS 123R requires that the fair value of all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, be recognized as expense in the financial statements. The pro forma disclosures previously permitted under FAS 123 are no longer an alternative to financial statement recognition. We adopted the provisions of FAS 123R on January 1, 2006 using the modified prospective application method of adoption, which requires us to record compensation cost related to unvested stock awards as of December 31, 2005 by recognizing the unamortized grant date fair value of these awards over the remaining service periods of those awards with no change in historical reported earnings. Awards granted after December 31, 2005 are valued at fair value in accordance with the provisions of FAS 123R and compensation cost is recognized on a straight line basis over the service period of each award. In accordance with the modified prospective method, the unaudited consolidated financial statements for

prior periods have not been restated to reflect, and do not include, the impact of FAS 123R. See Note 8 for further information concerning our stock option plans and the impact of the adoption of FAS 123R.
Deferred offering costs
At September 30, 2006, the Company had approximately $3.6 million in deferred offering costs. These costs are associated with VeriChip’s contemplated initial public offering and will reduce VeriChip's additional paid in capital upon the effectiveness of the offering. Such deferred offering costs would be required to be charged to operations if the offering is not consummated.
2. Principles of Consolidation
The financial statements include our accounts and the accounts of our wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries, including our 55.2% owned subsidiary, Digital Angel (AMEX:DOC), and our 52.0% owned subsidiary, InfoTech (OTC: IFTH). The minority interest represents outstanding voting stock of the subsidiaries not owned by us. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
InfoTech operates on a fiscal year ending September 30. InfoTech’s results of operations have been reflected in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as if it operated on a calendar year basis. Accordingly, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include InfoTech’s operations for the nine-months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

5. Financings
Laurus Master Fund, Ltd. Financing
On August 24, 2006, we closed a $13.5 million non-convertible debt financing transaction with Laurus Master Fund, Ltd. (“Laurus") pursuant to the terms of a Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement") dated August 24, 2006, between us and Laurus. Under the terms of the Agreement, Laurus extended financing to us in the form of a $13.5 million secured term note (the "Note"). The Note accrues interest at a rate of 12% per annum, payable monthly, and has a maturity date of August 24, 2009. We are obligated to make monthly principal payments ranging from $200,000 to $300,000 beginning on April 1, 2007. The terms of the Note allow for optional redemption by paying 102% of the principal amount. The Note also provides for certain events of default, including (i) failure to pay principal and interest when due; (ii) a violation of a covenant; (iii) any material misrepresentation made in the Note or a related agreement; (iv) bankruptcy or insolvency; and (v) a change of control as defined in the Note, among others. The covenants in the Agreement include, among others, (i) the maintenance of listing or quotation of our common stock on a principal market; (ii) monthly, quarterly and annual financial reporting requirements; (iii) maintenance of adequate insurance; and (iv) approvals for certain events such as declaring dividends, creating new indebtedness not specifically allowed under the terms of the agreement, among others. In the event of default, Laurus is entitled to additional interest on the
APPLIED DIGITAL SOLUTIONS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
outstanding principal balance of the Note and on all outstanding obligations under the Note and the related agreements entered into in conjunction with the Note in an amount equal to 1% per month.
To secure our obligations under the Agreement, we have granted Laurus a first priority security interest in substantially all of Applied Digital Solutions, Inc.’s assets, and we have pledged all of the issued and outstanding capital stock owned by us in InfoTech and certain of our other wholly-owned subsidiaries and 65% and approximately 93% of the issued and outstanding stock owned in VeriChip and Digital Angel, respectively.
We used the proceeds of the Note to repay all of the outstanding obligations under that certain Note Purchase Agreement dated December 28, 2005, by and between us and Satellite Senior Income Fund, LLC (“SSIF”) for financing in the form of a $12 million senior secured note. The senior secured note had an interest rate of 12% per annum for the first nine months and then increased by 1% per month thereafter until its maturity on June 28, 2007. Under the terms of the senior secured note, to prepay the loan, we paid an amount equal to approximately $12.7 million, which is the sum of (a) 104% of the principal redeemed plus (b) all accrued and unpaid interest thereon. We intend to use the remaining proceeds from the Note for working capital purposes.
In connection with the financing, we also issued Laurus a warrant for the purchase of 1,719,745 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $1.88 per share. The warrant is exercisable beginning on August 24, 2006 and expires on August 24, 2013. Laurus has agreed to a 12 month lock-up with respect to the sale of the shares of common stock underlying the warrant. These securities were issued without registration in reliance upon the exemption provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. The relative fair value of the warrant of approximately $1.5 million was recorded as a debt discount and is being recognized over the life of the loan as additional interest expense.
The issuance of the warrant to Laurus triggered certain dilution provisions contained in our previously granted warrants, as more fully discussed in Note 9. The total interest expense incurred during the three and nine-months ended September 30, 2006 in connection with the senior secured note and the early repayment of the senior secured note was approximately $0.7 million and $1.7 million, respectively.
Amendment to Credit Facility with Danske Bank A/S
On June 1, 2006, Digital Angel’s wholly-owned subsidiary Daploma International A/S (“Daploma”) amended its credit facility with Danske Bank A/S. The amendment to the credit facility increased the borrowing availability from DKK 12 million ($2.0 million USD at September 30, 2006) to DKK 18 million ($3.1 million USD at September 30, 2006). As of September 30, 2006, $2.5 million USD was outstanding under the credit facility. The interest is determined quarterly and is based on the international rates Danske Bank can establish on a loan in the same currency on the international market plus 2.0%. At September 30, 2006, the annual interest rate on the facility was 5.1%. Borrowing availability under the credit facility considers guarantees outstanding. At September 30, 2006 the borrowing availability on the credit agreement was DKK 1.2 million ($0.2 million USD at September 30, 2006). The credit facility remains effective until further notice and may be terminated by either Daploma or Danske Bank. DSD Holdings can terminate the credit agreement and pay the outstanding balance or Danske Bank may demand the credit line be settled immediately at any given time, without prior notice. In connection with the amendment, Digital Angel executed a letter of support which confirms that Digital Angel shall maintain its holding of 100% of the share capital of Daploma, and that Digital Angel shall neither sell, nor pledge, nor in any other way dispose of any part of Daploma or otherwise reduce its APPLIED DIGITAL SOLUTIONS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

influence on Daploma without the prior consent of Danske Bank A/S, among other requirements.Covenant Default on Wells Fargo Credit Facility and IBM Credit Wholesale Agreement
On June 30, 2004, InfoTech entered into a credit facility with Wells Fargo, as amended, providing for up to $4.0 million in borrowings. Amounts borrowed under the credit facility bear interest at Wells Fargo’s prime rate plus 3%. The credit facility matures on June 29, 2007, and automatically renews for successive one-year periods unless terminated by either party. Under the terms of the credit facility, Wells Fargo may, at its election, make advances as requested from time to time in amounts up to an amount equal to the difference between the borrowing base (described below) and the sum of (i) the amount outstanding under the credit facility; (ii) the $0.6 million letter of credit agreement outstanding under the credit facility which secures InfoTech’s obligations to IBM Credit LLC under a wholesale financing agreement; and (iii) the $0.2 million letter of credit agreement, which secures InfoTech’s borrowing under an invoicing credit facility with one of its vendors. The borrowing base is equal to the lesser of $4.0 million or the amount equal to 85% of (i) eligible accounts receivable; plus (ii) the amount of available funds on deposit at Wells Fargo; and minus (iii) certain specified reserves. As of September 30, 2006, the borrowing base was approximately $1.4 million, the letters of credit were approximately $0.8 million, no borrowings were outstanding under the credit facility, and approximately $0.6 million was available under the credit facility.
The credit facility requires InfoTech to maintain certain financial covenants, limits its capital expenditures, and contains other standard covenants including prohibitions on its incurrence of additional debt, its sales of assets and other corporate transactions without Wells Fargo’s consent. On November 3, 2006, InfoTech notified its lender, Well Fargo, that as of September 30, 2006 it was not in compliance with certain financial covenants under its credit agreement. InfoTech is seeking to obtain a waiver of its non-compliance. No assurance can be given that such waiver will be granted. If such a waiver is not granted, it could have an adverse effect on InfoTech and us.
In connection with the execution of the Wells Fargo credit facility, InfoTech and IBM Credit LLC replaced a prior agreement for wholesale financing dated as of April 20, 1994, with a new wholesale financing agreement. Under the terms of the wholesale financing agreement, IBM Credit LLC may, at its election, advance InfoTech up to $0.6 million to be used for the purchase of certain computer hardware and software products approved in advance by IBM Credit LLC. Amounts outstanding under the wholesale financing agreement are required to be secured by a $0.6 million irrevocable letter of credit and bear finance charges in an amount to be agreed upon with IBM Credit LLC from time to time. The wholesale financing agreement will remain in effect until terminated by either party upon at least 90 days prior written notice. As of September 30, 2006, $0.5 million was outstanding under the wholesale financing agreement, which is reflected in our unaudited consolidated balance sheet in accounts payable and accrued expenses. If Wells Fargo declares InfoTech in default under its loan as discussed above, such event may result in InfoTech being required to immediately repay the amounts outstanding under its wholesale financing agreement with IBM Credit LLC.

DSD Holdings A/S
On February 28, 2005, Digital Angel completed the acquisition of DSD-Holding A/S, or DSD, and DSD became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Digital Angel. Under the terms of the acquisition, Digital Angel agreed to purchase all of the outstanding capital stock of DSD for a purchase price equal to 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. Digital Angel made an initial payment of $3.5 million at closing through the delivery of 684,543 shares of our common stock, which Digital Angel acquired from us in a February 2005 share exchange, as discussed below. The initial payment of $3.5 million negotiated between Digital Angel and the selling shareholders of DSD was the minimum payment due. During the second quarter of 2005, Digital Angel paid additional consideration of $0.2 million to account for pre-closing price fluctuations.
APPLIED DIGITAL SOLUTIONS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Pursuant to the terms of the February 2005 share exchange agreement that we entered into with Digital Angel in connection with the DSD acquisition, 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. We agreed to the terms of the share exchange because we desire to maintain a controlling interest in Digital Angel.
Under the terms of the share exchange 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 acquisition agreement as discussed above. 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 and our common stock, respectively, for the ten trading days immediately preceding, and not including, the transaction closing date, which was $5.434 per share for Digital Angel’s common stock and $5.113 per share for our common stock.
Under the terms of the acquisition agreement pursuant to which Digital Angel acquired DSD, at any time between the closing date of the acquisition and December 31, 2006 Digital Angel had the right to buyout the remaining purchase price. On April 13, 2006, Digital Angel exercised its right to buyout the remaining purchase price by electing to pay the set amount of $2.0 million. The $2.0 million buyout price was satisfied by a cash payment of $1.0 million made on April 13, 2006, and the issuance on June 8, 2006 of $1.0 million worth of Digital Angel’s unregistered common stock, or 282,115 shares. The number of shares of Digital Angel’s common stock that were exchanged was determined based upon the average of the volume-weighted-average price of Digital Angel’s common stock for the 10 trading days prior to the closing date of the share exchange agreement, or $3.545 per share. The $2.0 million buyout price was recorded as additional goodwill.
We and the former shareholders of DSD agreed to exchange, per the terms of a share exchange agreement dated April 12, 2006, registered shares of our common stock for the unregistered shares of Digital Angel’s common stock paid by Digital Angel to the former shareholders of DSD pursuant to the buyout agreement. Pursuant to the share exchange agreement, we issued to the former shareholders of DSD 454,545 million shares of our common stock, valued at $972,249 and $27,751 in cash in exchange for the 282,115 shares of Digital Angel common stock that the former shareholders of DSD received from Digital Angel in partial payment of the buyout, as more fully discussed above. The number of shares of our common stock that were exchanged was determined based upon the average of the volume-weighted-average price of our common stock for the two trading days immediately preceding, and not including, the transaction closing date of June 8, 2006, which was $2.14 per share.
The DSD acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. The excess of purchase price over the fair value of the assets and liabilities of DSD as of September 30, 2006, was recorded as goodwill of $6.0 million. Intangible assets with an estimated fair value of $2.0 million were also recognized in the acquisition. These intangible assets consist of customer relationships, tradename, patents and a non-compete agreement. The customer relationships, patents and non-compete agreement are being amortized over periods ranging from 3 to 15 years. Amortization expense associated with these intangible assets recorded in the nine-months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 was approximately $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively. The tradename has an indefinite life.
DSD is a Denmark-based manufacturer and marketer of visual and electronic RFID tags for livestock as well as tamper-proof seals for packing and shipping applications. In considering the benefits APPLIED DIGITAL SOLUTIONS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
of the DSD acquisition, management recognized the strategic complement of DSD’s technologies and customer base with our existing Animal Applications segment.
VeriChip Holdings Inc.
On March 31, 2005, we acquired VHI through a plan of arrangement under which we paid CDN$1.60 for each outstanding share of VHI (a total of 10,265,178 VHI common shares were outstanding on March 31, 2005) payable in shares of 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 VHI’s common stock for each share of our common stock. Accordingly, we issued 3,388,407 shares of our common stock valued at approximately $11.7 million to VHI’s shareholders. In addition, all existing VHI options and warrants outstanding were converted pro rata, based upon the exchange ratio, into options or warrants exercisable into shares of our common stock. The value of the options and warrants exchanged was approximately $0.7 million. Included in the purchase price was approximately $0.9 million in acquisition costs consisting primarily of a finder’s fee and legal and accounting related services that were direct costs of the acquisition of which $0.3 million was paid with options. The total cost of the acquisition was approximately $13.3 million.
VHI, based in Vancouver, Canada, provides patient wandering, maternity ward infant protection and asset location and identification systems combining automated identification and real-time location technologies.
Effective March 31, 2005, we contributed VHI to VeriChip, under the terms of an exchange agreement between us and VeriChip dated June 9, 2005, in consideration for approximately 3.3 million shares of VeriChip’s common stock.
The acquisition of VHI was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. The excess of purchase price over the fair value of the assets and liabilities of VHI was recorded as goodwill of approximately $5.0 million. The intangible assets with an aggregate fair value of approximately $6.5 million are comprised of patents, trademarks, customer relationships and distribution networks. These intangible assets are being amortized over periods ranging from 4 to 12.3 years. The trademarks have indefinite lives. We recorded amortization expense associated with these intangible assets of approximately $0.5 million and $0.3 million, respectively, in the nine-months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005.
Instantel, Inc.
On June 10, 2005, VHI entered into a share purchase agreement by and among Instantel, Instantel Holding Company s.ar.l., Perceptis, VHI, VeriChip and us to acquire 100% of the common stock of Instantel. We funded the acquisition, with such funding being recorded as a capital contribution to VeriChip. Under the terms of the agreement, Instantel became a wholly-owned subsidiary of VHI. Instantel is based in Ottawa, Canada and a manufacturer of remote monitoring products in the areas of healthcare security and vibration monitoring for a diverse customer base.
The purchase price for Instantel was $25.0 million, if the sellers elected to receive the second purchase price payment in some combination of VeriChip’s and our common stock, or $24.5 million, if the sellers elected to receive the second purchase price payment in cash. The first purchase price APPLIED DIGITAL SOLUTIONS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
payment of $22.0 million was paid in cash at the closing of the transaction. The second payment was required to be made on the earlier of (i) the closing of VeriChip’s initial public offering or (ii) September 30, 2006, subject to extension to December 31, 2006. Prior to September 30, 2006, in accordance with the terms of the share purchase agreement, we were notified by Perceptis that it had exercised its right to receive the second purchase price payment in cash of $2.5 million. On October 10, 2006, we paid Perceptis approximately $2.0 million, which included a reduction of the amount due to Perceptis resulting from an indemnification adjustment of approximately $0.5 million. In addition, we incurred approximately $0.3 million in acquisition costs consisting primarily of legal and accounting related services that are direct costs of the acquisition.
The Instantel acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. The excess of purchase price over the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed was recorded as goodwill of approximately $11.0 million. The acquired intangible assets with a fair value of approximately $14.9 million are comprised of patents, trademarks, customer relationships and distribution networks. These intangibles assets are being amortized over periods ranging from 8.4 to 11.8 years. The trademarks have indefinite lives. We recorded amortization expense associated with these intangible assets of approximately $1.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively, in the nine-months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005.
VHI and Instantel
In considering the benefits of the VHI and Instantel acquisitions, management recognized the strategic complement of these businesses’ technologies and customer bases with VeriChip’s existing RFID implantable microchip business.
Acquired Intangible Assets
The fair value of the acquired intangible assets of DSD, VHI and Instantel were determined on the basis of customer relationships, patents and other proprietary rights for technologies, contract lives and revenue, distributor relationships and other factors related to distribution networks, and using discounted cash flow methodology. Under this method, we estimated the cash flows that each of their intangible assets are expected to generate over the course of their expected economic lives. Actual cash flows may differ significantly from these estimates. The expected economic lives of these intangible assets were determined based upon the expected use of the asset, the ability to extend or renew patents and other contractual provisions associated with the asset, the estimated average life of the associated products, the stability of the industry, expected changes in and replacement value of distribution networks, and other factors deemed appropriate.
In performing the expected life analysis, we determined that the acquired trademarks have indefinite lives. In making this assessment, we evaluated whether there were any legal, regulatory, or contractual factors limiting the useful lives of the acquired trademarks and we concluded that these factors did not limit the useful lives of the acquired trademarks as of the dates of their acquisition. In addition, we evaluated and determined that there were no competitive or economic factors, including technological advances or obsolescence of the related products that limit the useful lives of the acquired trademarks. As a result of our market share, the proprietary nature of our RFID products and the current competitive environment, we not aware of any significant risk that our technology will be rendered obsolete in the foreseeable future. Therefore, we concluded that based on (i) the current market positions for the acquired products; (ii) the overall expected growth of the RFID technology in our market; (iii) the market presence provided by the established distribution networks of DSD, VHI and Instantel; (iv) the
APPLIED DIGITAL SOLUTIONS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
lack of legal, contractual or competitive factors limiting the useful lives of the acquired trademarks; and (v) the conclusion that the trademarks will have value for the foreseeable future, we had reasonable support to conclude that the acquired DSD, VHI and Instantel trademarks have indefinite lives.
The total purchase price of the businesses acquired during 2005 was allocated as follows:
| | DSD | | VHI | | Instantel | |
| | (amounts in thousands) | |
Current assets | | $ | 2,631 | | $ | 3,112 | | $ | 5,678 | |

| | | | | | | | | | |
Total | | $ | 5,902 | | $ | 13,283 | | $ | 24,737 | |
In determining the purchase prices for these businesses, we considered various factors including: (i) historical and projected revenue streams and operating cash flows of each company; (ii) their management teams; (iii) the potential to expand the market for our existing implantable microchip businesses through certain of their existing distribution channels; (iv) the complementary nature of each of the company’s product offerings as an extension of the offerings of the other company and of our existing businesses; (v) similarities in corporate cultures; and (vi) the opportunity for expanded research and development of the combined product offerings and the potential for new product offerings. Specifically, we felt that VHI’s business would grow, in large part because of its reputation and because its Assetrac business and its wander prevention business are, in our view, poised for growth. We felt that the growth would ultimately result in a favorable return on our investment notwithstanding a purchase price that included amounts for goodwill. Moreover, we saw VHI’s customer base, sales force, research and development teams and management as useful in developing our VeriMed Patient Identification System. The same analysis took place with Instantel, as well as recognition that Instantel and VHI were competitors and that future results could be augmented by eliminating that competition, better serving customers with the best of both companies and eliminating redundancies. Based on such assessments, we determined that it was appropriate to offer purchase prices for these companies that resulted in the recognition of goodwill.

Shares Issued to the Minority Owners of Signature Industries Limited
In June 1998, we entered into an agreement for purchase and sale of share capital of Signature Industries Limited, or Signature, with Mr. David Cairnie, Mr. Trevor Gage and certain other parties. Subsequent to our acquisition of Signature, we contributed our ownership interest in Signature to Digital Angel. Under the terms of the agreement, Messrs. Cairnie and Gage, and certain other parties, maintained minority interests in Signature, and were granted a right to require that we purchase their minority interests at an agreed upon price. The agreed price was equal to (a) a sum which consisted of (i) seven times the average of the operating profit for the relevant fiscal period ending before the submission of the notice required to effect the purchase, (ii) multiplied by a ratio, the numerator of which was the number of additional shares set out in the notice, and the denominator of which was the total number of issued and outstanding shares of Signature at the date of our acquisition of Signature or at the date of issuance of the notice, whichever was lower, which sum should be (b) minus any dividends paid to such minority owner which were treated as having been made out of any operating profits making up part of the price calculation. According to such terms, on March 1, 2006, we issued 283,803 and 67,062 shares of our common stock to Messrs. Cairnie and Gage, respectively. The shares had an aggregate value of approximately $1.0 million on the date of issuance. The acquisition of the minority interest resulted in approximately $0.6 million of additional goodwill related to Signature.

We determined that such recognition of gains and losses on issuances of shares of stock by Digital Angel and InfoTech was APPLIED DIGITAL SOLUTIONS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
appropriate since we do not plan to reacquire the shares issued and the value of the proceeds could be objectively determined.
During the three-months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, Digital Angel did not issue any common stock. InfoTech did not issue any stock in the three-months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 or the nine-months ended September 30, 2005. During the nine-months ended September 30, 2006, we recorded a gain of approximately $0.3 million on the issuances of approximately 0.4 million shares of Digital Angel’s common stock, and we recorded a de minimis gain on the issuance of 50,000 shares of InfoTech’s common stock. During the nine-months ended September 30, 2005, Digital Angel recorded a gain of approximately $0.4 million on the issuance of approximately 0.2 million shares of its common stock. The net gains resulted from the difference between the carrying amount of our pro-rata share of our investment in Digital Angel and InfoTech and the net proceeds from the issuances of the stock.
In addition, Digital Angel issued 0.3 million and 0.6 million shares during the three and nine-months ended September 30, 2006 under the terms of two share exchange agreements entered into in connection with its acquisition of DSD, which did not result in a gain or loss on issuance.
We recorded a gain of $0.2 million and $46,000 during the three-months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and a (loss) gain of $(0.1) million and $0.5 million during the nine-months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, attributable to changes in the minority interest ownership as a result of the capital transactions of Digital Angel and InfoTech, including the purchase of 0.3 million shares of treasury stock by Digital Angel during the nine-months ended September 30, 2005.

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.
8. Stock Options and Restricted Stock
At September 30, 2006, we currently have six stock-based employee stock plans (five of which have been terminated with respect to any new stock option grants), and our subsidiaries collectively had eight stock-based employee compensation plans, all of which are more fully described in Note 12 in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the year ended December 31, 2005. We adopted the
APPLIED DIGITAL SOLUTIONS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
provisions of FAS 123R on January 1, 2006 using the modified prospective application method of adoption which requires us to record compensation cost related to unvested stock awards as of December 31, 2005 by recognizing the unamortized grant date fair value of these awards over the remaining service periods of those awards with no change in historical reported earnings. Awards granted after December 31, 2005 are valued at fair value in accordance with provisions of FAS 123R and recognized on a straight line basis over the service periods of each award. Our estimated forfeiture rates for the three and nine-months ended September 30, 2006 were based on our historical experience. Upon adoption of FAS 123R we elected to continue using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
During the three and nine-months ended September 30, 2006, we recorded approximately $0.4 million and $0.9 million in compensation expense related to stock options granted to our employees and consultants, respectively, including approximately $0.0 million and $0.1 million, respectively, associated with certain of our fully-vested stock options, which were modified during the period. In addition, in the nine-months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 we recorded approximately $0.2 million and $38,000, respectively, in connection with restricted stock which was granted by Digital Angel and InfoTech as more fully discussed below.
All of Applied Digital’s stock options were fully vested as of December 31, 2005, and Applied Digital did not grant any stock options during the nine-months ended September 30, 2006.

9. Warrants
We have issued and outstanding warrants convertible into shares of common stock for consideration, as follows (in thousands, except exercise price):
Class of Warrants | | Authorized | | Issued | | Exercised/ Forfeited | | Balance September 30, 2006 | | Exercise Price | | Date of Issue | | Exercisable Period | |
Class Z | | | 535 | | | 535 | | | 102 | | | 433 | | $ | 1.88 | | June 2003 | | | 4 years | |
Series B | | | 667 | | | 667 | | | — | | | 667 | | | 3.26 | | April 2004 | | | 5 years | |
Series D | | | 667 | | | 667 | | | — | | | 667 | | | 4.97 | | October 2004 | | | 5 years | |
Series E | | | 976 | | | 976 | | | — | | | 976 | | | 4.04 | | June 2005 | | | 5 years | |
Series E | | | 200 | | | 200 | | | — | | | 200 | | | 3.70 | | June 2005 | | | 5 years | |
Class A | | | 1,720 | | | 1,720 | | | — | | | 1,720 | | | 1.88 | | August 2006 | | | 7 years | |
| | | 4,765 | | | 4,765 | | | 102 | | | 4,663 | | | | | | | | | | |
As of September 30, 2006, the value of our outstanding warrants was classified as equity with the exception of the class Z warrant, which is classified as a liability, as more fully discussed below.
The class Z warrant was issued in connection with our 8.5% convertible exchangeable debentures, which we issued on June 30, 2003. The warrant was originally valued at $1.4 million. The original fair value assigned to the warrant was recorded as a reduction in the value assigned to the debentures (original issue discount) and an increase in long-term liabilities. The original issue discount was amortized as interest expense. The unamortized portion of the original issue discount was fully expensed during the fourth quarter of 2003, when the debentures were satisfied in full. The warrant is exercisable into 433,323 shares of our common stock or exchangeable into 769,648 shares of the Digital Angel common stock that we own or exercisable/exchangeable into a combination of shares from both companies at the holders’ option. Therefore, in accordance with EITF Issue 00-6 “Accounting for Freestanding Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, the Stock of a Consolidated Subsidiary,” the value of the warrants is required to be recorded as a liability and marked to market each reporting period. We determine the value of the liability each quarter using the Black Scholes valuation model. The liability is subject to a floor amount equal to the original value ascribed to the warrants.
APPLIED DIGITAL SOLUTIONS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
During the three-months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, we recorded interest expense (recovery) of $0.0 million and $(34,000), respectively, as a result of these revaluations. During the nine-months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, we recorded interest expense (recovery) of $0.0 million and ($3.2) million, respectively, as a result of these revaluations. The value of the warrants decreased significantly in 2005 as a result of a decrease in the quoted market price of Digital Angel’s common stock, the reduction in the life of the warrants (the warrants expire in June 2007) and a decrease in the historical, and consequently, the expected volatility of Digital Angel’s common stock.
We will be required to record an impairment loss if the carrying value of the Digital Angel common stock underlying the warrants exceeds the exercise price. Should the holders elect to exercise the warrants into shares of the Digital Angel common stock owned by us, such exercise may result in our recording a gain on the transaction. In November 2004, approximately 0.1 million warrants were exercised into approximately 0.2 million shares of the Digital Angel common stock that we owned resulting in a gain on the transaction of approximately $0.8 million. The warrants are subject to adjustment upon:
| · | the issuance of shares of common stock, or options or other rights to acquire the Company's common stock, at an issue price lower than the exercise price under the warrants; |
| · | the declaration or payment of a dividend or other distribution on the Company's common stock; and |
| · | the issuance of any other of the Company's securities on a basis which would otherwise dilute the purchase rights granted by the warrants. |
Our issuance of the class A warrant to Laurus in August 2006, as more fully discussed below and in Note 5, triggered the anti-dilution provision under the class Z warrant agreement and, as a result, the exercise price of the class Z warrants exercisable into shares of our common stock was reduced from $2.75 per share to $1.88 per share.
The Series B warrant was issued to Satellite Strategic Finance Associated, LLC (“SSFA”) in connection with a securities purchase agreement effective April 16, 2004. The Series B warrant is exercisable for approximately 0.7 million shares of the Company’s common stock. The exercise price of the Series B warrant, which was originally $3.30 per share, has been reduced to $3.26 per share as a result of our issuance of the class A warrant to Laurus in August 2006. The issuance of the warrant to Laurus triggered the anti-dilution provisions in the Series B warrant agreement. The Series B warrant vested on April 16, 2005 and expires on April 16, 2010. The Series B warrant agreement provides for anti-dilution provisions that require that the exercise price be adjusted if the Company issues certain securities at a price below the exercise price then in effect and the number of warrants and the exercise price is required to be adjusted upon the declaration or payment of a dividend or other distribution of our common stock. The total number of shares that can be issued under such provisions is subject to a ceiling.
The Series D warrants were issued to SSFA in connection with a securities purchase agreement effective October 21, 2004. The Series D warrant is exercisable into approximately 0.7 million shares of our common stock. The exercise price of the Series D warrant, which was originally $5.05 per share, has been reduced to $4.97 per share as a result of our issuance of the class A warrant to Laurus in August 2006, which triggered the anti-dilution provisions in the warrant agreement. The Series D warrant vested
APPLIED DIGITAL SOLUTIONS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
on October 21, 2005 and expires on October 21, 2010. The Series D warrant agreement provides for anti-dilution provisions similar to those outlined above for the Series B warrant and the total number of shares that can be issued under such provisions is also subject to a ceiling.
The Series E warrants were issued in connection with our financing with Strategic Finance Partners, Ltd. (“SSFP”) and SSFA on June 10, 2005. Warrants to acquire 739,516 and 436,559 shares of our common stock were issued to SSFP and SSFA, respectively. The warrants are exercisable at any time at exercise prices ranging from $3.70 to $4.04 per share. The exercise prices of the warrants were reduced from prices ranging from $3.75 to $4.09 per share as a result of our issuance of the class A warrant to Laurus in August 2006, which triggered the anti-dilution provisions in the warrant agreements. The warrants vested on June 10, 2005 and expire on June 10, 2010. The Series E warrant agreement provides for anti-dilution provisions similar to those outlined above for the Series B warrant and the total number of shares that can be issued under such provisions is also subject to a ceiling.
The effect of the re-pricing of the class Z warrant and the Series E warrants, which were issued by us in connection with debt financings, was to increase interest expense during the three and nine-months ended September 30, 2006 by approximately $0.1 million.
The initial valuation of warrants utilized the following assumptions in the Black-Scholes valuation model:
Warrant Class/Series | Dividend Yield | Volatility | Expected Lives (Yrs.) | Risk-Free Rate | Date of the Assumptions |
| | | | | |
Z | 0% | 76.00% | 4.0 | 1.50% | June 30, 2003 |

11. Related Party Transactions
Agreement between VeriChip and Digital Angel
On December 28, 2005, VeriChip and Digital Angel entered into an amended and restated supply and development agreement related to the technology underlying VeriChip's implantable microchip business, including its VeriMed Patient Identification System. Digital Angel is VeriChip's sole supplier of microchips relating to its implantable microchip business. Under the agreement with Digital Angel, Digital Angel purports to license to VeriChip the right to use the implantable VeriChip technology. However, in 1994, the exclusive rights to use the patented technology in applications involving the identification of human beings were licensed to Hughes Aircraft Company and Hughes Identification Devices, Inc. by Destron/IDI, Inc., a predecessor of Digital Angel. Hughes Aircraft Company subsequently changed its name and is now known as Raytheon Company. Consequently, the license purportedly granted to VeriChip under its supply agreement with Digital Angel conflicts with the exclusive rights previously granted in 1994 by Destron/IDI, Inc. to use the patented technology for human identification.
Raytheon Microelectronics España entered into a supply agreement with Digital Angel effective as of April 26, 2006. Raytheon Microelectronics España has represented that it is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Raytheon Company. Digital Angel relies solely on the supply agreement with Raytheon Microelectronics España for the manufacture and assembly of implantable VeriChips. The Raytheon Microelectronics España supply agreement grants Digital Angel a non-exclusive license to any and all intellectual property held by Raytheon Microelectronics España or its affiliates related to the manufacture, distribution or use of the microchip for use in human beings as more fully described below. VeriChip is also dependent upon the license provision contained in the supply agreement between Raytheon Microelectronics España and Digital Angel to support its right to use the patented technology in applications involving the identification of human beings. However, Digital Angel’s 2006 supply agreement is with Raytheon Microelectronics España and not Raytheon Company and it is possible that Raytheon Microelectronics España lacks the authority or intellectual property rights to grant a license to Digital Angel that would support VeriChip's use of the patented technology for human identification. Therefore, we cannot assure you that the license provision contained in the supply agreement between Raytheon Microelectronics España and Digital Angel grants any rights that would support VeriChip's use of the patented technology for human identification. As a result, VeriChip's use of the technology might be enjoined and it could be required to pay damages, including enhanced damages, based on the claim that the sale and use of its products conflicts with the exclusive license previously granted to others for the use of the technology for the identification of human beings. If VeriChip or Digital Angel are denied use of the patented technology in applications involving the identification of human beings, VeriChip will not be able to purchase or sell the VeriMed Patient Identification System, or any other products that incorporate the implantable VeriChip before the patent expires, and VeriChip will not be able to fulfill its expectations for revenue growth from sales of its VeriMed Patient Identification System or its other systems incorporating the implantable VeriChip. Further, VeriChip may be required to pay royalties and other damages to third parties on its sales of products it has already purchased or will purchase from Digital Angel.
Additionally, certain rights relating to the license under VeriChip’s supply agreement with Digital Angel are broader than the rights relating to the license under the supply agreement between
APPLIED DIGITAL SOLUTIONS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Raytheon Microelectronics España and Digital Angel. These include the rights to independently enforce the patent and to independently manufacture the products under certain circumstances. Consequently, the scope of VeriChip's rights, if any, to use the patented technology in applications involving the identification of human beings will be defined by the narrower rights Digital Angel obtains under its supply agreement with Raytheon Microelectronics España. The license granted by Raytheon Microelectronics España is part of each individual product sold under the supply agreement to Digital Angel and may not be conveyed separately from such products. Any rights to the patented technology outside of products supplied to VeriChip by Raytheon Microelectronics España through Digital Angel may not be available and VeriChip may be unable to independently enforce the patent or engage a third party supplier to manufacture the products even though its agreement with Digital Angel purportedly grants it the right to do so.
VeriChip's agreement with Digital Angel continues until March 2013, and, as long as it continues to meet the minimum purchase requirements, will automatically renew on an annual basis until the expiration of Digital Angel’s patents covering the supplied products (if applicable). The agreement may be terminated earlier prior to its stated term under specified events, such as a bankruptcy of the other party or an uncured default in the performance of any obligation under the agreement, including the payment of money.
As described above, Digital Angel entered into a new supply agreement with Raytheon Microelectronics España effective as of April 26, 2006 for the manufacture and assembly of glass encapsulated, syringe-implantable transponders, including the implantable VeriChip. The new supply agreement expires on June 30, 2010. As part of the supply agreement, Raytheon Microelectronics España granted to Digital Angel, and to any person acquiring title to any glass encapsulated, syringe-implantable transponders purchased from Digital Angel, a license to all intellectual property held by Raytheon Microelectronics España or its affiliates related to the manufacture, distribution or use of such product. However, Raytheon Microelectronics España does not represent in the supply agreement with Digital Angel that Raytheon Microelectronics España or its affiliates have any rights to use the patented technology in applications involving the identification of human beings. Because the exclusive rights to use the patented technology granted in 1994 were freely assignable or could be licensed to third parties, we do not know which parties currently hold those rights. We cannot be certain Raytheon Company has licensed any rights to the patented technology to Raytheon Microelectronics España, and it is possible that Raytheon Company has assigned, licensed or otherwise transferred the rights to use the patented technology for human identification to another third party on an exclusive or non-exclusive basis. Therefore, we cannot assure you that the license granted by Raytheon Microelectronics España under the supply agreement with Digital Angel grants any rights that would support VeriChip's use of the patented technology for human identification.
If Raytheon Company has already granted an exclusive license to use the patented technology in applications involving the identification of human beings VeriChip’s use of the patented technology could be enjoined based on the claim that the sale and use of its products conflicts with the scope of the exclusive license previously granted to others for the use of the technology for the identification of human beings.
The primary Digital Angel patent related to the implantable VeriChip will expire on April 17, 2008. However, VeriChip and Digital Angel do not have the right to enforce the patent in applications for the identification of human beings. A termination of VeriChip's supply and development agreement by Digital Angel or the loss of VeriChip’s supply rights due to its failure to meet the minimum commitment or the inability of both VeriChip and Digital Angel to exclude third parties from making or selling

competing products, or, if VeriChip obtains any rights to the patent, the expiration or earlier termination of the primary Digital Angel patent could have a material adverse effect on the growth of our business.
Loan Agreement with InfoTech
On June 23, 2006, we and InfoTech entered into a third amendment to loan documents, or the Third Amendment, that amended, among other documents, a commercial loan agreement, or CLA, a Term Note, and a stock pledge agreement (together with the CLA and the Note, the “Loan Documents”) dated June 27, 2003, by and between InfoTech and us. Under the terms of the Loan Documents, we borrowed an original principal amount of $1.0 million from InfoTech on June 27, 2003, which bears interest payable monthly at 16% per annum. On June 29, 2004, we and InfoTech entered into a first amendment to the loan documents that extended the original maturity date of the loan from June 30, 2004 to June 30, 2005. On June 28, 2005, we and InfoTech entered into a second amendment that extended the loan to June 30, 2006. Under the terms of the Third Amendment, InfoTech agreed to further extend the maturity date for the loan under the Loan Documents from June 30, 2006 to June 30, 2007. All other terms and provisions of the Loan Documents remain unmodified and continue in full force and effect.
Loan Agreement with VeriChip
On December 27, 2005, we and VeriChip entered into a loan agreement, a revolving line of credit note and a security agreement to memorialize the terms of existing advances to VeriChip and provide the terms under which we would lend additional funds to VeriChip. On October 6, 2006, we and VeriChip amended the existing loan agreement by entering into a First Amendment to Commercial Loan Agreement, an Amended and Restated Revolving Line of Credit Note and a First Amendment to Security Agreement (collectively, the “Amended Agreements”). The purpose of the amendment was to provide for additional availability under the loan primarily to allow VeriChip to pay a final payment in connection with its acquisition of Instantel and to pay costs associated with its initial public offering, as more fully described below. The Amended Agreements amend the original loan documents in the following respects:
| · | The revolving credit note, which originally provided for principal advances by us to VeriChip of up to $8.5 million, now provides for principal advances of up to $13.0 million. The principal amount of the note was increased to fund VeriChip's final purchase price payment made on October 10, 2006 in connection with its acquisition of Instantel Inc., which VeriChip acquired in June 2005. By making this payment in cash, we and VeriChip are no longer obliged to issue shares of VeriChip’s or our common stock to the sellers of Instantel Inc. The additional funds available under the loan will also be used for costs related to VeriChip’s proposed initial public offering and sales and marketing efforts, among other things. |
| · | The interest rate on the principal amount outstanding from time to time under the note has been modified to equal a fixed rate of 12% per annum. Previously, the interest rate payable by VeriChip under the note was equal to the prime rate of interest as published from time to time in the Wall Street Journal. |
| · | The renewal date relating to our option to extend the note was amended from June 27, 2007 to July 1, 2008. Accordingly, under the Amended Agreements we, at our sole discretion, have the option to extend the note on July 1, 2008 and on each anniversary date thereof until the final maturity date which remains December 27, 2010. If we do not extend the note on a renewal date, the entire amount of principal and accrued interest outstanding thereunder shall become immediately due and payable. The loan may be repaid sooner as the documents continue to provide that the outstanding principal amount of the loan, and all accrued interest on the note are due within two business days of the completion of an initial public offering by VeriChip, or if a change in VeriChip's ownership or management occurs. If VeriChip does not complete its planned initial public offering by July 1, 2008, we anticipate that we would extend the loan until VeriChip completes an initial public offering or obtains an alternative source of funding. |
APPLIED DIGITAL SOLUTIONS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Except as set forth above, the Amended Agreements did not amend any other terms of the original loan documents.
The loan is subordinated to the obligations of VeriChip under its credit agreement with the Royal Bank of Canada, and is collateralized by security interests in all property and assets of VeriChip except as otherwise encumbered by the rights of the Royal Bank of Canada under its credit agreement with VHI. Approximately $8.9 million of principal and accrued interest was outstanding on the loan as of September 30, 2006. The loan is not reflected in the consolidated financial statements as it has been eliminated in consolidation.
During the nine-months ended September 30, 2006, VeriChip incurred legal fees of approximately $1.1 million to VeriChip’s legal counsel, Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP, referred to as Akin Gump. Tommy G. Thompson, a partner with Akin Gump, has been a member of VeriChip’s board of directors since July 2005 and holds fully vested options to purchase 0.2 million shares of VeriChip’s common stock.
Share Exchange with the Former Shareholders of DSD
We and the former shareholders of DSD exchanged, per the terms of a share exchange agreement dated April 12, 2006, shares of our common stock for shares of Digital Angel’s common stock that the former shareholders of DSD received in connection with a buyout agreement between the former shareholders of DSD and Digital Angel. The share exchange agreement and the buyout agreement are more fully discussed in Note 7. One of the former shareholders of DSD, LANO Holdings Aps, is 100% owned by Lasse Nordfjeld, DSD’s current chief executive officer.
12. 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 September 30, 2006, we have recorded approximately $2.9 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.
Crystal Import Corporation v. Digital Angel, et al.
On or about December 29, 2004, The Crystal Import Corporation filed an action against AVID Identification Systems, Inc. and Digital Angel in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Alabama. Crystal’s complaint primarily asserted federal and state antitrust and related claims against
APPLIED DIGITAL SOLUTIONS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
AVID, though it also asserted similar claims against Digital Angel. Digital Angel filed a motion to dismiss the action for failure to state a claim on which relief could be granted, or in the alternative, to have the action transferred to the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota. On October 11, 2005, the Alabama Court denied Digital Angel’s motion to dismiss the complaint, but granted Digital Angel’s motion to transfer the action to Minnesota. Following the docketing of the action in Minnesota, Digital Angel and AVID filed a motion seeking to stay the case until the corresponding patent infringement actions have been resolved. Prior to the hearing on the motion, an agreement was reached pursuant to which the Court entered an order on July 12, 2006 staying the action for 90 days with permission to seek an additional stay thereafter. The stay having expired on October 10, 2006, Digital Angel and AVID re-filed their motion seeking to stay the case until the corresponding patent infringement actions have been resolved. The hearing on the motion is scheduled to take place on November 20, 2006. Given the uncertainties associated with all litigation and given the early stage of this proceeding, the Company is unable to offer any assessment on the potential liability exposure, if any, from this lawsuit.
13. Supplemental Cash Flow Information
In the nine-months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, we had the following non-cash investing and financing activities (in thousands):

14. Subsequent Event
On November 3, 2006, we finalized our plans to complete the consolidation of VeriChip's healthcare security operations into an existing VeriChip facility located in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. The consolidation will entail the closing of operations in Vancouver, British Columbia. We anticipate that the transfer of responsibilities for certain finance and other administrative activities will be completed as of December 31, 2006 and the transfer of research and development functions will be completed by the end of the first quarter of 2007.
APPLIED DIGITAL SOLUTIONS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
We believe that the consolidation will eliminate duplicative functions and improve operating efficiencies. As a result of the consolidation, we expect to incur charges ranging from approximately $0.8 million to $1.4 million, of which approximately $0.2 million will be non-cash charges. Approximately $0.4 million to $0.7 million of such charges relate to termination benefits, approximately $0.2 million relates to fixed asset reserves, and approximately $0.2 million to $0.5 million relate to additional tax liabilities. We anticipate that $0.6 million to $1.2 million of these charges will be incurred in the fourth quarter of 2006.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the accompanying financial statements and related notes included in Item 1 of this report as well as our 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Overview
We currently engage in the following principal business activities:
| · | Developing, marketing and selling radio frequency identification systems, referred to as RFID systems, used to identify, locate and protect people and their assets for use in a variety of healthcare, security, financial and identification applications; |
| · | marketing visual identification tags and implantable RFID microchips, primarily for identification, tracking and location of pets, livestock and other animals, and, more recently, for animal bio-sensing applications, such as temperature reading for companion pet and livestock (e.g., cattle) applications; |
| · | developing and marketing global position systems, or GPS, enabled products used for location tracking and message monitoring of vehicles, pilots and aircraft in remote locations; |
| · | marketing secure voice, data and video telecommunications networks, primarily to several agencies of the U.S. government; |
| · | developing and marketing call center and customer relationship management software and services; and |
| · | marketing IT, hardware and services. |
Recent Financial Results
During the three-months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, we reported a loss from continuing operations of approximately $3.6 million and $2.7 million, respectively, and during the nine-months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, we reported loss from continuing operations of approximately $9.8 million and $2.5 million, respectively. Included in the loss for the three-months ended September 30, 2005 was approximately $0.7 million of income attributable to the reversal of certain liabilities of a business unit that we had closed during 2001.
Included in the loss for the nine-months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 was $0.0 million and $3.2 million of interest recovery, respectively as a result of the revaluation of certain common stock warrants. The warrants are exchangeable into shares of the Digital Angel common stock that we own and exercisable into shares of our common stock or exchangeable/exercisable into a combination of shares of common stock from both companies at the holder’s option. As a result of the holders having the option to exchange the warrants into shares of the Digital Angel common stock that we own, the value of the warrants is required to be recorded as a liability and re-valued each reporting period. Changes in the
value of the warrants result in increases/recovery of interest expense. Also, included for the nine-months ended September 30, 2005 was $0.5 million in legal settlement income, $0.7 million of income attributable to the reversal of certain liabilities of a business unit that we had closed during 2001 and a gain attributable to capital transactions of subsidiary of approximately $0.9 million, as compared to a gain attributable to capital transactions of subsidiary of approximately $0.2 million for the nine-months ended September 30, 2006. Excluding these items, we incurred losses from continuing operations of approximately $9.6 million and $7.8 million for the nine-months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
Our consolidated operating activities used cash of approximately $4.3 million and approximately $7.4 million during the nine-months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. In the past, we have incurred losses and have not generated positive cash flows from operations. As of September 30, 2006, we have an accumulated deficit of approximately $451.2 million. Our majority-owned subsidiary, Digital Angel, has incurred losses and has not generated positive cash flows from operations. Digital Angel incurred losses during the three and nine-months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, as presented below in the Business Segments section. In addition, Digital Angel’s operating activities used cash of approximately $4.0 million and approximately $1.6 million during the nine-months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
We operate in six business segments: Healthcare, Security and Industrial, Animal Applications, GPS and Radio Communications, Advanced Technology, and InfoTech. VeriChip’s operations comprise our Healthcare and Security and Industrial segments and Digital Angel’s operations comprise our Animal Applications and GPS and Radio Communications segments.

(1) The “Corporate/Eliminations” category includes all amounts recognized upon consolidation of our subsidiaries, such as the elimination of inter-segment revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities. “Corporate/Eliminations” also includes selling, general and administrative expense and certain interest income/expense and other income/expenses associated with corporate activities and functions.
(2) Included in the loss for the three-months ended September 30, 2005 was $0.7 million of income attributable to the reversal of certain liabilities of a business unit that we had closed in 2001. Included in the loss for the nine-months ended September 30, 2005 was $3.2 million of interest reduction as a result of the revaluation of certain common stock warrants. The warrants are exchangeable into shares of the Digital Angel common stock that we own and exercisable into shares of our common stock or exchangeable/exercisable into a combination of shares of common stock from both companies at the holders’ option. As a result of the holders having the option to exchange the warrants into shares of the Digital Angel common stock that we own, the value of the warrants is required to be recorded as a liability and re-valued each reporting period. Changes in the value of the warrants result in increases/recovery of interest expense. Included for the nine-months ended September 30, 2005 was $0.5 million in legal settlement income, $0.7 million of income attributable to the reversal of certain liabilities of a business unit that we had closed during 2001 and gain attributable to capital transactions of subsidiary of approximately $0.9 million.

VeriChip’s Stock Option Expense
All of VeriChip’s unvested employee and director stock options vested on December 30, 2005 and a minimal number of stock options were granted in the nine-months ended September 30, 2006; therefore, equity based compensation expense related to VeriChip’s adoption of FAS 123(R) was immaterial in the three and nine-months ended September 30, 2006.
Consolidation of VeriChip’s Operations
On November 3, 2006, we finalized our plans to complete the consolidation of VeriChip's healthcare security operations into an existing facility located in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. The consolidation will entail the closing of operations in Vancouver, British Columbia. We believe that the consolidation will eliminate duplicative functions and improve operating efficiencies. We estimate that the consolidation will result in annual savings in excess of $1.5 million (approximately $1.4 million of which will be cash savings) and we believe that the consolidation will have no effect on revenue growth.
As a result of the consolidation, we expect to incur charges ranging from approximately $0.8 million to $1.4 million, of which approximately $0.2 million will be non-cash charges. Approximately $0.4 million to $0.7 million of such charges relate to termination benefits, approximately $0.2 million relate to fix asset reserves, and approximately $0.2 million to $0.5 million relate to additional tax liabilities.

Revenue - Our Animal Applications segment’s revenue decreased approximately $0.5 million in the three-months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the three-months ended September 30, 2005. The decrease in revenue was principally due to a decrease in sales to fish and wildlife customers of approximately $0.7 million and a decrease in sales to companion animal customers of approximately $0.1million. The decreases in the Animal Application segment were offset by an increase in sales to U.S. livestock customers of $0.3 million.
Gross Profit and Gross Profit Margin - Our Animal Applications segment’s gross profit decreased approximately $0.4 million, or 10.8%, in the three-months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the three-months ended September 30, 2005. The gross profit margin was 37.6% for the three-months ended September 30, 2006 compared to 39.7% for the three-months ended September 30, 2005. We attribute the decrease in gross profit and gross profit margin to additional freight and
importation duties associated with providing inventory to South America from Denmark and the U.S. and high margin sales to product mix in the three-months ended September 30, 2006 which yielded lower gross profit and gross profit margin.
Selling, General and Administrative Expense - Our Animal Applications segment’s selling, general and administrative expenses increased approximately $0.1 million in the three-months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to the three-months ended September 30, 2005 and selling, general and administrative expense as a percentage of revenue increased to 41.9% from 38.5% in the same respective periods. The increase in selling, general and administrative expense as a percentage of revenue primarily relates to the decrease in sales, as mentioned above.

Revenue - Our Animal Applications segment’s revenue increased approximately $2.7 million, or 10.7%, in the nine-months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the nine-months ended September 30, 2005. The increase in revenue was principally due to an increase in electronic and visual product sales to livestock customers of approximately $1.7 million, an increase in sales to companion animal customers of approximately $1.9 million, an increase in sales of $0.5 million at DSD Holdings A/S ($0.8 million relates to two additional months of sales in 2006 offset by decreased sales of $0.3 million), and an increase in sales to customers in South America of $0.6 million. The increases in the Animal Application segment are partially offset by a decrease in sales to fish and wildlife customers of $1.7 million and a decrease in intercompany sales to VeriChip Corporation of $0.3 million.
Gross Profit and Gross Profit Margin - Our Animal Applications segment’s gross profit increased approximately $0.5 million, or 4.9%, in the nine-months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the nine-months ended September 30, 2005. We attribute approximately $0.1 million of the increase to the previously mentioned sales increases and $0.4 million to the inclusion of DSD Holdings A/S for an additional two months of operations in the nine-months ended September 30, 2006. DSD Holdings A/S was acquired on February 28, 2005. The gross profit margin was 37.5% for the nine-months ended September 30, 2006 compared to 39.6% for the nine-months ended September 30, 2005. We attribute the decrease in gross profit margin to additional freight and importation duties associated with providing inventory to South America from Denmark and the United States.
Selling, General and Administrative Expense - Our Animal Applications segment’s selling, general and administrative expenses increased approximately $1.2 million in the nine-months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to the nine-months ended September 30, 2005 and selling, general and administrative expense as a percentage of revenue increased to 38.8% from 38.2% in the same respective periods. The increase in selling, general and administrative expense relates primarily to a charge of approximately $0.2 million in acquisition expenses, approximately $0.8 million in additional compensation expense, approximately $0.4 million of additional expense related to DSD Holding A/S and increased selling, general and administrative expenses in our South American subsidiaries of $0.3 million. Such increases are partially offset by decreased insurance expense of $0.3 million. The nine-months ended September 30, 2005 includes seven months of results for DSD Holdings A/S compared to nine-months of results in the nine month period ended September 30, 2006. DSD Holdings A/S was acquired on February 28, 2005.

Revenue - Our GPS and Radio Communications segment’s revenue decreased approximately $2.8 million, or 16.7% in the nine-months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the nine-months ended September 30, 2005. The decrease in revenue was primarily due to an approximately $3.6 million decrease in sales of Signature’s Sarbe products, offset by an increase in sales at Signature’s Radio Hire division of approximately $0.5 million. We attribute $2.2 million of the Sarbe product sales decrease to the completion of the Indian government contract in May 2005 and $1.4 million of the Sarbe product sales decrease to other Sarbe product customers, including the UK Ministry of Defense.
Gross Profit and Gross Profit Margin - Our GPS and Radio Communications segment’s gross profit decreased approximately $1.6 million, or 18.6%, in the nine month period ended September 30, 2006 as compared to the nine-months ended September 30, 2005. The decrease in gross profit relates to the decrease in sales and decreased gross profit margin. The gross profit margin decreased to 50.0% in the nine-months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to 51.2% in the nine-months ended September 30, 2005. The decrease in gross profit margin relates primarily to higher margins on G2R Sarbe locator beacons shipped under the contract with the government of India in the first six months of 2005. Signature completed shipments under the contract with the government of India in May 2005.
Selling, General and Administrative Expense - Our GPS and Radio Communications segment’s selling, general and administrative expenses decreased approximately $0.2 million in the nine-months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the nine-months ended September 30, 2005. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expense relates primarily to reduced intangible amortization expense at our subsidiary, OuterLink Corporation, partially offset by increase selling, general and administrative expense at our subsidiary Signature Industries Limited. As a percentage of revenue, selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 52.6% in the nine-months ended September 30, 2006 from 45.1% in the nine-months ended September 30, 2005. The increase in selling, general and administrative expense as a percentage of sales resulted primarily from the decrease in sales in the current period.
Research and Development - Our GPS and Radio Communications segment’s research and development expense remained relatively constant at approximately $1.3 million in the nine-months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005. Research and development in the nine-months ended September 30, 2006 relates to the continued development of OuterLink Corporation’s next generation of communication system hardware and the development of the 406.6 MHz product family at Signature Industries Limited.
Digital Angel’s Stock Option Expense
All of Digital Angel’s out-of-the money, unvested stock options issued to current employees, officers and directors prior to November 15, 2005 were vested on December 30, 2005. Therefore, equity based compensation expense related to stock options granted prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R was immaterial. In the nine months ended September 30, 2006, Digital Angel granted 2.2 million stock options to employees and directors of Digital Angel. As of September 30, 2006, Digital Angel’s unrecognized compensation expense associated with its stock options is estimated to be $4.6 million and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average vesting period of 6.3 years. This expense will be reflected in the results of our Animal Applications and GPS and Radio Communications segments. Approximately 90% of this expense will be included in these segments selling, general and administrative expense.

Revenue - Our Advanced Technology segment’s revenue increased approximately $1.3 million in the three-months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the three-months ended September 30, 2005 primarily as a result of approximately $1.2 million in sales to International Business Machines Corporation, or IBM, of our customer relationship management software.
The operations of our wholly-owned subsidiary, Pacific Decision Sciences Corporation, or PDSC, are included in our Advanced Technology segment. Effective May 1, 2006, PDSC entered into two Statements of Work, or SOWs, with IBM for customer relationship management software license fees and services. Per the terms of the SOWs, IBM has agreed to license from PDSC a computer software program known as the PDSC Service Management System, Version: 7.4 and all of the PDSC services modules currently installed by IBM for an initial payment of $2.5 million, and a web-based call center application for an additional $2.5 million to be paid in three payments upon the delivery by PDSC and acceptance by IBM of the call center application releases. PDSC received the initial payment of $2.5 million in July 2006 and an additional payment of $0.8 million in September 2006. PDSC anticipates delivering the remaining call center application releases over the next four
to 15 months. PDSC is recognizing the license fee payments as revenue over an 18 month period, which was the contractual life of the project. In addition, PDSC is supplying IBM with maintenance and support for the system and application, which is being paid by IBM based upon a monthly personnel charge for the services provided. It is anticipated that these services will be required for an additional 9 to 15 months.

Revenue - Our InfoTech segment’s revenue decreased approximately $0.2 million in the three-months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the three-months ended September 30, 2005. We attribute the decrease primarily to a decrease in sales to our top three customers compared to last year.
Gross Profit and Gross Profit Margin - Our InfoTech segment’s gross profit decreased approximately $0.1 million in the three-months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the three-months ended September 30, 2005 primarily due to the decrease in revenue combined with lower margins. Total gross profit margin decreased from 18.2% in the three-months ended September 30, 2005 to 16.9% in the three-months ended September 30, 2006. The decrease was primarily due to low service margins stemming from underutilization of technicians and engineers and severance costs associated with a reduction in our technical staff.
Selling, General and Administrative Expense - Our InfoTech segment’s selling, general and administrative expense remained constant at approximately $0.9 million in the three-months ended September 30, 2006 compared to $0.9 million in the three-months ended September 30, 2005.

Revenue - Our InfoTech segment’s revenue decreased approximately $0.6 million in the nine-months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the nine-months ended September 30, 2005 primarily as a result of lower sales in 2006 to our top three customers compared to 2005, which was somewhat offset by sales to two new customers.
Gross Profit and Gross Profit Margin - Our InfoTech segment’s gross profit decreased approximately $0.3 million in the nine-months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the nine-months ended September 30, 2005 primarily due to lower margins and revenue. Product gross profit margin decreased from 19.8% in the nine-months ended September 30, 2005 to 17.3% in the nine-months ended September 30, 2006. Product margins decreased primarily due to high margins experienced in the nine-months ended September 30, 2005 that were a result of favorable pricing from our vendors that were not available in 2006. Service margins increased to 20.6% in the nine-months ended September 30, 2006 from 17.4% in the nine-months ended September 30, 2005. This increase was primarily due to strong service margins experience in the first quarter of 2006.
Selling, General and Administrative Expense - Our InfoTech segment’s selling, general and administrative expense increased approximately $0.4 million in the nine-months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to the nine-months ended September 30, 2005. The increase was primarily due to the reversal of an over accrual in accrued litigation expense of approximately $0.2 million in 2005 combined with higher compensation expense in 2006 as a result of severance agreements.

Selling, General and Administrative Expense - Corporate/Elimination’s selling, general and administrative expense decreased approximately $0.8 million in the three-months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the three-months ended September 30, 2005. The decrease was principally due to a reduction in legal and other professional fees, advertising and insurance expense. All of our corporate employees’ and directors’ unvested stock options were vested on December 30, 2005, and no stock options were unvested as of July 1, 2006, therefore, “Corporate/Eliminations” did not incur any equity based compensation expense in the three-months period ended September 30, 2006.
Interest and Other Expense (Income) - Corporate/Elimination’s interest and other income is primarily a function of short-term investments and interest earned on notes receivable. The decrease in interest and other (income) expense of approximately $0.9 million during the three-months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the three-months ended September 30, 2005 is due primarily to approximately $0.7 million of income recorded in the three-months ended September 30, 2005 attributable to the reversal of certain liabilities of a business unit that we closed during 2001.
Interest Expense (Recovery) - Corporate/Elimination’s interest expense increased approximately $0.5 million during the three-months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the three-months ended September 30, 2005. The increase in interest expense is due primarily to an increase in average outstanding debt during the three-months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the three-months ended September 30, 2005.

Selling, General and Administrative Expense - Corporate/Elimination’s selling, general and administrative expense decreased approximately $0.2 million in the nine-months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the nine-months ended September 30, 2005. We attribute the decrease primarily to a reduction in professional fees, marketing and advertising expense, and travel expense aggregating approximately $0.3 million, which was partially offset by an increase in compensation expense of approximately $0.1 million. All of our corporate employees’ and directors’ unvested stock options were vested on December 30, 2005, and no stock options were granted in the first three quarters of 2006, therefore, equity based compensation expense related to Corporate/Elimination’s unvested stock options was immaterial in the nine-months period ended September 30, 2006. Corporate/Eliminations incurred approximately $0.1 million of compensation expense during the nine-months ended September 30, 2006 related to fully vested employee and director stock options, which were modified during the period.
Research and Development - Corporate/Elimination’s research and development decreased approximately $0.2 million during the nine-months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the nine-months ended September 30 2005. During the first quarter of 2005, we made a decision to eliminate our corporate research group. All of our research and development is now handled through our segments.
Interest and Other Expense (Income) - Corporate/Elimination’s interest and other income is primarily a function of short-term investments and interest earned on notes receivable. The decrease in interest and other (expense) income of approximately $1.3 million during the nine-months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to the nine-months ended September 30, 2005 is primarily due to the reversal of certain liabilities of a business unit that we closed in 2001, and the elimination of additional intercompany income in the nine-months ended September 30, 2006. An increase in intercompany borrowings from our subsidiaries and an increase in the prime rate of interest resulted in higher
intercompany interest income in the nine-months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the nine-months ended September 30, 2005.
Interest Expense (Recovery) - Corporate/Elimination’s interest expense was approximately $1.5 million during the nine-months ended September 30, 2006 compared to interest recovery of approximately $2.9 million in the nine-months ended September 30, 2005. Interest expense is primarily a function of our level of borrowings. The majority of the interest recovery that we recorded during the nine-months ended September 30, 2005 resulted from the revaluation of warrants that we issued to the purchasers of our debentures. The debentures were issued on September 30, 2003 and were fully converted as of December 31, 2003. The liability for the warrants, to the extent potentially exchangeable 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/recovery in interest expense. The warrants are exchangeable into shares of the Digital Angel common stock that we own or exercisable into shares of our common stock or exchangeable/exercisable into a combination of shares from both companies at the holders’ option. During the nine-months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, we recorded interest recovery of approximately $0.0 million and $3.2 million, respectively, as a result of such revaluations.
Income Taxes
We had effective income tax benefit (provision) rates of 7.0% and (1.6)% for the three-months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and 2.7% and (2.1)% for the nine-months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, 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 September 30, 2006, we have provided a valuation allowance to fully reserve our U.S. net operating loss carry forwards and our other existing U.S. net deferred tax assets, primarily as a result of our recent losses.
Net Gain/Loss on Capital Transactions of Subsidiaries and Loss Attributable to Changes in Minority Interest as a Result of Capital Transactions of Subsidiaries
Gains where realized and losses on issuances of shares of stock by Digital Angel and InfoTech 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 and InfoTech was appropriate since we do not plan to reacquire the shares issued and the value of the proceeds could be objectively determined.
During the three-months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, Digital Angel did not issue any common stock. InfoTech did not issue any stock in the three-months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 or the nine-months ended September 30, 2005. During the nine-months ended September 30, 2006, we recorded a gain of approximately $0.3 million on the issuances of approximately 0.4 million shares of Digital Angel’s common stock, and we recorded a de minimis gain on the issuance of 50,000 shares of InfoTech’s common stock. During the nine-months ended September 30, 2005, Digital Angel recorded a gain of approximately $0.4 million on the issuance of approximately 0.2 million shares of its common stock. The net gains resulted from the difference between the carrying amount of our pro-rata share of our investment in Digital Angel and InfoTech and the net proceeds from the issuances of the stock.
In addition, Digital Angel issued 0.3 million and 0.6 million shares during the three and nine-months ended September 30, 2006 under the terms of two share exchange agreements entered into in connection with its acquisition of DSD, which did not result in a gain or loss on issuance.
We recorded a gain of $0.2 million and $46,000 during the three-months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and a (loss) gain of $(0.1) million and $0.5 million during the nine-months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, attributable to changes in the minority interest ownership as a result of the capital transactions of Digital Angel and InfoTech, including the purchase of 0.3 million shares of treasury stock by Digital Angel during the nine-months ended September 30, 2005.
Net (Loss) Income
During the three-months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, we reported a net loss from continuing operations of approximately $3.6 million and $2.7 million, respectively, and during the nine-months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, we reported net loss of approximately $9.8 million and $2.5 million, respectively. Included in the loss for the three-months ended September 30, 2005 was $0.7 million of income attributable to the reversal of certain liabilities of a business unit that we had closed during 2001.
Included in the net loss for the nine-months ended September 30, 2006 was approximately $0.4 million in professional fees associated with VeriChip’s planned IPO and a gain attributable to capital transactions of subsidiaries of approximately $0.2 million. Included in net loss for the nine-months ended September 30, 2005 was $3.2 million of interest recovery as a result of the revaluation of the common stock warrants exchangeable into shares of the Digital Angel common stock owned by us, $0.5 million in legal settlement income, $0.7 million of income attributable to the reversal of certain liabilities of a business unit that we had closed during 2001. Excluding these items, we incurred a net loss of approximately $9.6 million and $7.8 million for the nine-months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS
As of September 30, 2006, cash and cash equivalents totaled $16.1 million, a decrease of $6.3 million, or 28.2%, from $22.4 million at December 31, 2005.
Operating activities used cash of $4.3 million and $7.4 million during the nine-months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. During the nine-months ended September 30, 2006, cash was used primarily for purchase of inventory and other current assets, offset by increased collections of accounts receivable. During the nine-months ended September 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.
Adjustments to reconcile operating losses to net cash used in operating activities included the following:
| · | Accounts and unbilled receivables, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, decreased $6.0 million, or 22.9%, to $20.2 million at September 30, 2006, from $26.2 million at December 31, 2005. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in sales in the three-months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the three-months ended December 31, 2005 and due to collections on accounts receivable. |
| · | Inventories increased $2.3 million, or 18.7%, to $14.6 million at September 30, 2006, from $12.3 million at December 31, 2005. The increase relates primarily to an increase in inventory at Digital Angel. |
| · | Accounts payable increased $3.3 million, or 26.4%, to $15.8 million at September 30, 2006 compared to $12.5 million at December 31, 2005. The increase was primarily a result of an increase in accounts payable associated with VeriChip and our Advanced Technology segment. |
| · | Accrued expenses decreased $4.8 million, or 21.5%, to $17.5 million at September 30, 2006 compared to $22.3 million at December 31, 2005. The decrease is primarily due to a decrease in accruals with our voice, data and video telecommunications business, and to an approximately $0.8 million decrease in accruals at Digital Angel. |
Investing activities used cash of $3.4 million and $22.9 million during the nine-months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. During the nine-months ended September 30, 2006, cash of approximately $2.8 million was used to purchase property and equipment. During the nine-months ended September 30, 2005, cash was primarily used for costs of business acquisitions.
Financing activities provided cash of $1.4 million and $20.5 million during the nine-months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. During the nine-months ended September 30, 2006, $16.6 million was provided by borrowings, offset by $14.5 million used for payment of debt. During the nine-months ended September 30, 2005, cash of $17.4 million was provided from the issuance of the Notes and Preferred Stock, $6.1 million was provided from the issuance of common stock, $1.5 million was used for the payment of notes payable, cash of $1.5 million was used for purchases of treasury stock by a subsidiary, partially offset by cash of $0.3 million, which was provided by the issuance of common stock by a subsidiary.
Financial Condition
Financing Agreements and Debt Obligations
Preferred Stock, Senior Unsecured Convertible Notes and Warrants
In connection with the acquisition of Instantel, we entered into a financing agreement with SSFP and SSFA whereby we issued our Series D convertible preferred stock, Series E warrants and senior unsecured convertible notes. The Series E warrants to acquire 739,516 and 436,559 shares of our common stock were issued to SSFP and SSFA, respectively. The Series E warrants are exercisable at any time at exercise prices ranging from $3.70 to $4.04 per share until they expire on September 10, 2010. These warrants are more fully described in Note 9 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. VeriChip also issued SSFP and SSFA warrants to acquire 100,000 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $12.00 per share. The total consideration for the preferred stock, the Series E warrants and the VeriChip warrants was $12.5 million in cash. The notes were issued in the principal outstanding amount of $5.0 million, which was equal to 93.45% of the face amount of $5.4 million. We used these net proceeds of approximately $17.4 million from the financing agreement, together with approximately $4.7 million of internal cash on hand, to fund the acquisition of Instantel. The preferred stock was fully converted during the third quarter of 2005. The notes were repaid in December 2005 as discussed below.
$12 Million Non-Convertible Note
On December 28, 2005, we issued a $12 million non-convertible note to SSIF pursuant to the terms of a note purchase agreement. The note accrued interest at 12% per annum for the first nine-months and then increased by 1% per month thereafter until its maturity date on June 28, 2007. We used a portion of the net proceeds of approximately $11.8 million from the note to repay approximately $5.35 million of our existing debt to SSFA and SSFP, both of which are affiliates of SSIF. We fully repaid this note on August 24, 2006 with the proceeds from our $13.5 million non-convertible note as discussed below.
$13.5 Million Non-Convertible Note
On August 24, 2006, we closed a $13.5 million non-convertible debt financing transaction with Laurus pursuant to the terms of the Agreement dated August 24, 2006, between us and Laurus. Under the terms of the Agreement, Laurus extended financing to us in the form of a $13.5 million Note. The Note accrues interest at a rate of 12% per annum, payable monthly, and has a maturity date of August 24, 2009. We obligated to make monthly principal payments ranging from $200,000 to $300,000 beginning on April 1, 2007. The terms of the Note allow for optional redemption by paying 102% of the principal amount. The Note also provides for certain events of default, including (i) failure to pay principal and interest when due; (ii) a violation of a covenant; (iii) any material misrepresentation made in the Note or a related agreement; (iv) bankruptcy or insolvency; and (v) a change of control as defined in the Note, among others. The covenants in the Agreement include, among others, (i) the maintenance of listing or quotation of our common stock on a principal market; (ii) monthly, quarterly and annual financial reporting requirements; (iii) maintenance of adequate insurance; and (iv) approvals for certain events such as declaring dividends, creating new indebtedness not specifically allowed under the terms of the agreement, among others. In the event of default, Laurus is entitled to additional interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Note and on all outstanding obligations under the Note and the related agreements entered into in conjunction with the Note in an amount equal to 1% per month.
To secure our obligations under the Agreement, we have granted Laurus a first priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of Applied Digital Solutions, Inc., and we have pledged all of the issued and outstanding capital stock owned by us in InfoTech and certain of our other wholly-owned subsidiaries and 65% and approximately 93% of the issued and outstanding stock owned in VeriChip and Digital Angel, respectively.
We used the proceeds of the Note to repay all of the outstanding obligations under the $12 million non-convertible note to SSIF that we issued on December 28, 2005. Under the terms of the senior secured note, to prepay the loan, we paidan amount equal to approximately $12.7 million, which is the sum of (a) 104% of the principal being redeemed plus (b) all accrued and unpaid interest thereon. We intend to use the remaining proceeds from the Laurus Note for working capital purposes.
In connection with the financing, we also issued Laurus a warrant for the purchase of 1,791,745 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $1.88 per share. The warrant is exercisable beginning on August 24, 2006 and expires on August 24, 2013. Laurus has agreed to a 12 month lock-up with respect to the sale of the shares of common stock underlying the warrant. The warrant is more fully described in Note 9 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Royal Bank of Canada Credit Agreement
VeriChip’s subsidiary, VHI, is a party to a credit agreement with the Royal Bank of Canada. The credit facility provides for borrowings up to CDN $1.5 million (approximately $1.35 million in U.S. dollars at September 30, 2006). Approximately USD $1.1 million was outstanding as of September 30, 2006. The annual interest rate on the facility is the Bank of Canada prime rate plus 1%.
Intercompany Loan Agreement with VeriChip
On December 27, 2005, we and VeriChip entered into a loan agreement, a revolving line of credit note and a security agreement to memorialize the terms of existing advances to VeriChip and provide the terms under which we would lend additional funds to VeriChip. On October 6, 2006, we and VeriChip amended the existing loan agreement by entering into a First Amendment to Commercial Loan Agreement, an Amended and Restated Revolving Line of Credit Note and a First Amendment to Security Agreement (collectively, the “Amended Agreements”). The purpose of the amendment was to provide for additional availability under the loan primarily to allow VeriChip to pay a final payment in connection with its acquisition of Instantel and to pay costs associated with its initial public offering, as more fully described below. The Amended Agreements amend the original loan documents in the following respects:
| · | The revolving credit note, which originally provided for principal advances by us to VeriChip of up to $8.5 million, now provides for principal advances of up to $13.0 million. The principal amount of the note was increased to fund VeriChip's final purchase price payment made on October 10, 2006 in connection with its acquisition of Instantel Inc., which VeriChip acquired in June 2005. By making this payment in cash, we and VeriChip are no longer obliged to issue shares of VeriChip’s or our common stock to the sellers of Instantel Inc. The additional funds available under the loan will also be used for costs related to VeriChip’s proposed initial public offering and sales and marketing efforts, among other things. |
| · | The interest rate on the principal amount outstanding from time to time under the note has been modified to equal a fixed rate of 12% per annum. Previously, the interest rate payable by VeriChip under the note was equal to the prime rate of interest as published from time to time in the Wall Street Journal. |
| · | The renewal date relating to our option to extend the note was amended from June 27, 2007 to July 1, 2008. Accordingly, under the Amended Agreements we, at our sole discretion, have the option to extend the note on July 1, 2008 and on each anniversary date thereof until the final maturity date which remains December 27, 2010. If we do not extend the note on a renewal date, the entire amount of principal and accrued interest outstanding thereunder shall become immediately due and payable. The loan may be repaid sooner as the documents continue to provide that the outstanding principal amount of the loan and all accrued interest on the note are due within two business days of the completion of an initial public offering by VeriChip, or if a change in VeriChip's ownership or management occurs. If VeriChip does not complete its planned initial public offering by July 1, 2008, we anticipate that we would extend the loan until VeriChip completes an initial public offering or obtains an alternative source of funding. |
Except as set forth above, the Amended Agreements did not amend any other terms of the original loan documents.
The loan is subordinated to the obligations of VeriChip under its credit agreement with the Royal Bank of Canada, and is collateralized by security interests in all property and assets of VeriChip except as otherwise encumbered by the rights of the Royal Bank of Canada. As of September 30, 2006, approximately $8.9 million of principal and accrued interest was outstanding on the loan.
Danske Bank Credit Facility
DSD Holdings and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Daploma International A/S, are party to a credit agreement with Danske Bank. On June 1, 2006, DSD Holdings and Daploma International A/S amended the borrowing availability from DKK 12 million ($2.0 million USD at September 30, 2006) to DKK 18 million ($3.1 million USD at September 30, 2006). In connection with the amendment, Digital Angel Corporation executed a Letter of Support which confirms that Digital Angel Corporation shall maintain its holding of 100% of the share capital of Daploma, and that Digital Angel shall neither sell, nor pledge, nor in any other way dispose of any part of Daploma or otherwise reduce its influence on Daploma without the prior consent of Danske Bank A/S. As of September 30, 2006, the amount outstanding under the credit agreement was $2.5 million. The interest is determined quarterly and is based on the international rates Danske Bank can establish on a loan in the same currency on the international market plus 2.0%. At September 30, 2006, the annual interest rate on the facility was 5.1%. Borrowing availability under the credit facility considers guarantees outstanding. At September 30, 2006 the borrowing availability on the credit agreement was DKK 1.2 million ($0.2 million USD at September 30, 2006). The credit agreement shall remain effective until further notice. DSD Holdings can terminate the credit agreement and pay the outstanding balance or Danske Bank may demand the credit line be settled immediately at any given time, without prior notice.
Note Payable - Danske Bank
As of September 30, 2006, DSD Holdings is party to a note payable with Danske Bank. Principal payments of DKK 0.3 million ($51,000 USD at September 30, 2006) plus interest are payable quarterly through December 15, 2008. The interest rate on the note is calculated based on the international rates Danske Bank can establish on a loan in DKK in the international market plus 2.0%. The interest rate on the note payable was 5.07% at September 30, 2006. As of September 30, 2006, the amount outstanding under the note payable was $0.5 million.
Mortgage Notes Payable
Digital Angel is party to a mortgage notes payable collateralized by land and building. Principal and interest payments totaling approximately $20,000 are payable monthly through October 2010. The final payment of $2.0 million is due in November of 2010. The interest rate on the note is fixed at 8.18%. As of September 30, 2006, the amount outstanding under the mortgage note payable was $2.2 million.
Equipment Loans
DSD is party to equipment loans which are collateralized by production equipment. Principal and interest payments totaling approximately DKK 0.4 million ($69,000 USD at September 30, 2006) are payable quarterly. Payments are due through January 2010. The interest rates on the loans are variable and range from 5.116% to 8.137% as of September 30, 2006. As of September 30, 2006, $1.0 million was outstanding under the equipment loans.
Wells Fargo Credit Facility and IBM Credit Wholesale Agreement
On June 30, 2004, InfoTech entered into a credit facility with Wells Fargo, as amended, providing for up to $4.0 million in borrowings. Amounts borrowed under the credit facility bear interest at Wells Fargo’s prime rate plus 3%. The credit facility matures on June 29, 2007, and automatically renews for successive one-year periods unless terminated by either party. Under the terms of the credit facility, Wells Fargo may, at its election, make advances as requested from time to time in amounts up to an amount equal to the difference between the borrowing base (described below) and the sum of (i) the amount outstanding under the credit facility; (ii) the $0.6 million letter of credit agreement outstanding under the credit facility which secures InfoTech’s obligations to IBM Credit LLC under a wholesale financing agreement; and (iii) the $0.2 million letter of credit agreement, which secures InfoTech’s borrowing under an invoicing credit facility with one of its vendors. The borrowing base is equal to the lesser of $4.0 million or the amount equal to 85% of (i) eligible accounts receivable; plus (ii) the amount of available funds on deposit at Wells Fargo; and minus (iii) certain specified reserves. As of September 30, 2006, the borrowing base was approximately $1.4 million, the letters of credit were approximately $0.8 million, no borrowings were outstanding under the credit facility, and approximately $0.6 million was available under the credit facility.
The credit facility requires InfoTech to maintain certain financial covenants, limits its capital expenditures, and contains other standard covenants including prohibitions on its incurrence of additional debt, its sales of assets and other corporate transactions without Wells Fargo’s consent. As of September 30, 2006, InfoTech was not in compliance with certain of its financial covenants under its credit facility with Wells Fargo. InfoTech is seeking to obtain a waiver of its non-compliance. No assurance can be given that such waiver will be granted. If such a waiver is not granted, it could have an adverse effect on InfoTech and us.
In connection with the execution of the Wells Fargo credit facility, InfoTech and IBM Credit LLC replaced a prior agreement for wholesale financing dated as of April 20, 1994, with a new wholesale financing agreement. Under the terms of the wholesale financing agreement, IBM Credit LLC may, at its election, advance InfoTech up to $0.6 million to be used for the purchase of certain computer hardware and software products approved in advance by IBM Credit LLC. Amounts outstanding under the wholesale financing agreement are required to be secured by a $0.6 million irrevocable letter of credit and bear finance charges in an amount to be agreed upon with IBM Credit LLC from time to time. The wholesale financing agreement will remain in effect until terminated by either party upon at least 90 days
prior written notice. As of September 30, 2006, $0.5 million was outstanding under the wholesale financing agreement, which is reflected in our unaudited consolidated balance sheet in accounts payable and accrued expenses. If Wells Fargo declares InfoTech in default under its loan as discussed above such event may result in InfoTech being required to immediately repay the amounts outstanding under its wholesale financing agreement with IBM Credit LLC.
Liquidity
As of September 30, 2006, our consolidated cash and cash equivalents totaled $16.1 million.VeriChip had a cash balance of $0.9 million, Digital Angel had a cash balance of $4.0 million, InfoTech had a cash balance of $0.4 million and our Advanced Technology segment and “Corporate/Eliminations” had a combined cash balance of $10.8 million.
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:
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 businesses and compete successfully in our markets; |
| · | Third, we will attempt to expand the market for our VeriChip™ product, particularly for its medical and security 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 to guide us in achieving profitability and positive cash flows from operations during the next twelve months. The major components of the plan are as follows:
| · | to establish a sustainable positive cash flow business model; |
| · | to produce additional cash flow and revenue from our advanced technology products - VeriChip, Bio-Thermo and Thermo Life; |
| · | to expand markets/distribution channels for VeriChip through its 2005 acquisitions of VHI and Instantel, which provide VeriChip with complementary companies that bring experienced management, revenue and a synergistic customer base; and |
| · | to continue Digital Angel’s growth under the leadership of its management team and through strategic acquisitions. |
Our management believes that the above plan can be effectively implemented.
No assurance can be given that we will be successful in implementing the plan. Our profitability and cash flows from operations depend 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.
During 2006 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
New Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2004, FAS 123R was issued. FAS 123R replaced FAS 123 and supercedes APB 25. FAS 123R requires all share-based payments to employees and directors, including grants of stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values. The pro forma disclosures previously permitted under FAS 123 are no longer an alternative to financial statement recognition. On January 1, 2006, we adopted the provisions of FAS 123R using the modified prospective transition method. The impact of adopting FAS 123R is disclosed in Note 8 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Our board of directors, as well as the boards of directors of VeriChip and Digital Angel, approved the immediate vesting on December 30, 2005 of all of the outstanding and unvested stock options previously awarded to employees, directors and consultants (to the extent not already vested on that date), excluding approximately 0.2 million of Digital Angel’s stock options; provided, however, that the grantee that acquires any shares pursuant to such an option (the vesting of which has been accelerated) shall not be permitted to sell such shares until the earlier of: (i) the original vesting date applicable to such option or (ii) the date on which such grantee’s employment terminates for any reason.
The purpose of the accelerated vesting of the stock options was to enable us to avoid recognizing in our statements of operations non-cash compensation expense associated with the options in future periods. As a result of the accelerated vesting of the stock options, we expect to avoid recognition of up to approximately $7.6 million of compensation expense in our statements of operations over the course of the original vesting period, substantially all of which was expected to have been charged against earnings in 2006 and 2007. The fair value charge for employee stock option grants which had accelerated vesting in 2005 has been included in our pro forma stock-based footnote disclosure included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the year ended December 31, 2005. FIN 44 requires us to recognize compensation expense under certain circumstances, such as a change in the vesting schedule when such options are in the money on the date of acceleration, that would allow an employee to vest an option that would have otherwise been forfeited based on the award’s original terms. We would be required to begin to recognize compensation expense over the new expected vesting period based on estimates of the number of options that employees ultimately will retain that otherwise would have been forfeited, absent the modifications. The majority of the accelerated options, absent the acceleration, would have vested over the first half of 2006, with a smaller percentage vesting over the next 36 months. Such estimates of compensation expense would be based on such factors as historical and expected employee turnover rates and similar statistics. Of the 8.8 million stock options that were affected by the accelerated vesting, substantially all of the $4.6 million of intrinsic value of the newly vested options was attributable to VeriChip’s executive officers and directors. We are unable to estimate the number of options that will ultimately be retained that otherwise would have been forfeited, absent the acceleration. Based on the high concentration of in-the-money options awarded to VeriChip’s officers and directors and our historical turnover rates, no compensation expense resulting from the new measurement date was recognized by us on December 30, 2005. We will recognize compensation expense in future periods, should a benefit be realized by the holders of the aforementioned options, which they would not otherwise have been entitled to receive. During the three and nine-months ended September 30, 2006, approximately $26,000 of compensation expense was recorded as a result of the realization of such a benefit by an option holder.
In February 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 155 - Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments (“FAS 155”), which eliminates the exemption from applying Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 133 - Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities to interests in securitized financial assets so that similar instruments are accounted for similarly regardless of the form of the instruments. FAS 155 also allows the election of fair value measurement at acquisition, at issuance, or when a previously recognized financial instrument is subject to a re-measurement event. Adoption is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of the first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. Early adoption is permitted. We have not yet determined the impact of FAS 155 on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
In March 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard 156 - Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets (“FAS 156”), which requires all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities be initially measured at fair value. FAS 156 permits, but does not require, the subsequent measurement of servicing assets and servicing liabilities at fair value. Adoption is required as of the beginning of the first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of FAS 156 is not expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes -- an interpretation of FAS No. 109 (“FIN 48”), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in
income taxes. Currently, the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes is subject to significant and varied interpretations that have resulted in diverse and inconsistent accounting practices and measurements. Addressing such diversity, FIN 48 prescribes a consistent recognition threshold and measurement attribute, as well as clear criteria for subsequently recognizing, derecognizing and measuring changes in such tax positions for financial statement purposes. FIN 48 also requires expanded disclosure with respect to the uncertainty in income taxes. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. We have not yet determined the impact of FIN 48 on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows or financial statement disclosures.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard 157 - Fair Value Measurements (“FAS 157”). FAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. FAS 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. Accordingly, FAS 157 does not require any new fair value measurements. However, for some entities, the application of FAS 157 will change current practice. FAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We have not yet determined the impact of FAS 157 on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows or financial statement disclosures.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard 158 - Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R) (“FAS 158”). FAS 158 requires an employer to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan (other than a multiemployer plan) as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in the funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income. It also requires an employer to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its year-end statement of financial position, with limited exceptions. Under FAS 158, the requirement to initially recognize the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan and to provide the required disclosures is effective for us as of the end of our first fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006. The requirement to measure plan assets and benefit obligations as of the date of the employer’s fiscal year-end statement of financial position is effective for us for our first fiscal year ending after December 15, 2008. We have not yet determined the impact of FAS 158 on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows or financial statement disclosures.
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™, and Thermo Life™; |
| · | anticipated trends in our business and demographics; |
| · | 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; |
| · | 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 |
| · | 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 September 30, 2006, 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, as amended, for the year ended December 31, 2005. 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.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
With our Canadian, United Kingdom, Denmark, Poland, and South American 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 September 30, 2006, our debt consisted of a senior unsecured note with Laurus with a fixed interest rate, VeriChip’s borrowings under its credit
agreement with the Royal Bank of Canada bearing interest at the Bank of Canada prime plus 1%, InfoTech’s borrowings under its credit facility with Wells Fargo bearing interest at prime plus 3%, Digital Angel’s borrowings under Danish credit facilities bearing interest at prime plus 2%, an equipment loan bearing variable interest rates ranging from 5.116% to 8.137%, 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 Dollars in Millions September 30, 2006 | |
Total notes payable and long-term debt | | $ | 20.2 | |
Notes payable bearing interest at fixed interest rates | | $ | 18.0 | |
Weighted-average interest rate for the nine- months ended September 30, 2006 | | | 16.1 | % |
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(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 September 30, 2006. 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 third 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
ITEM 1. 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 September 30, 2006, we have recorded approximately $2.9 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 12 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for a description of certain of these proceedings, incorporated herein by reference.
ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS
On September 14, 2006, we received a comment letter from the staff of the Division of Corporation Finance of the SEC. The comments from the staff were issued with respect to its review of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005, and our Forms 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2006 and June 30, 2006. In addition to other comments, the staff’s September 14, 2006 letter included comments relating to the accounting treatment of certain warrants and share exchange agreements.
On October 3, 2006, we responded to all of the staff’s comments. Included in our response were the supplemental analyses and information requested by the staff. As of the date of the filing of this Form 10-Q, the staff continues to review our responses and, therefore, these comments remain unresolved.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
There were no sales of unregistered securities during the three-months ended September 30, 2006, except as reported on our Current Reports on Form 8-K.
ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES
None.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
None.
ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION
Henry Schein Inc. Group Purchasing Program Agreement
On October 20, 2006, VeriChip Corporation and Henry Schein Inc. entered into an amendment to a Group Purchasing Program Agreement dated October 28, 2004. The effect of the amendment was to extend the term of the agreement from two years to two years and three months.
Consolidation of VeriChip's Healthcare Security Operations
On November 3, 2006, we finalized our plans to complete the consolidation of VeriChip's healthcare security operations into an existing facility located in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. The consolidation will entail the closing of operations in Vancouver, British Columbia.
We believe that the consolidation will eliminate duplicative functions and improve operating efficiencies. As a result of the consolidation, we expect to incur charges ranging from approximately $0.8 million to $1.4 million, of which approximately $0.2 million will be non-cash charges. Approximately $0.4 million to $0.7 million of such charges relate to termination benefits, approximately $0.2 million relates to fixed asset reserves, and approximately $0.2 million to $0.5 million relate to additional tax liabilities. We anticipate that $0.6 million to $1.2 million of these charges will be incurred in the fourth quarter of 2006.
Covenant Default on Wells Fargo Credit Facility and IBM Credit Wholesale Agreement
On November 3, 2006, InfoTech notified its lender, Well Fargo, that as of September 30, 2006 it was not in compliance with certain financial covenants under its credit agreement. InfoTech is seeking to obtain a waiver of its non-compliance. No assurance can be given that such waiver will be granted. If such a waiver is not granted, it could have an adverse effect on InfoTech and us. As of September 30, 2006, the borrowing base under the credit facility was approximately $1.4 million, the letters of credit outstanding were approximately $0.8 million and no borrowings were outstanding under the credit facility. If Wells Fargo declares InfoTech in default under the loan such event may result in InfoTech being required to immediately repay the amounts outstanding under its wholesale financing agreement with IBM Credit LLC. As of September 30, 2006, approximately $0.5 million was outstanding under the wholesale financing agreement, which is reflected in our consolidated balance sheets in accounts payable and accrued expenses.
