PART 1

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

Unless the context otherwise provides, when we refer to the “Company,” “we,” “Digital Angel,” or “us,” we are referring to Digital Angel Corporation and its majority-owned subsidiaries.

Overview

As of December 31, 2012, our business operations consisted of our mobile game division, doing business as HammerCat Studio. We began our game division in August 2012. In addition, during 2012, our discontinued operations consisted of the operations of our radio communications business, which comprised the operations of Signature Industries Limited, or Signature, our 98.5% owned subsidiary located in the United Kingdom (“U.K.”).

In August 2012, we announced the appointment of L. Michael Haller to serve as our chief executive officer, (“CEO”), as part of an initiative to shift our business focus in a new strategic direction. Mr. Haller implemented a new strategy for our business focused on mobile game applications designed for tablets, smartphones, and other mobile devices. After a thorough review process, our management team, board of directors and advisors determined that the new strategic direction offered the most viable opportunity to: (i) build a sustainable business around our current public structure; and (ii) to maximize shareholder value.

Discontinued Operations

Due to the decision to focus on our mobile game division as our core operating business, during December 2012, our board of directors determined that it was appropriate to classify Signature as discontinued operations, and, accordingly, all prior period results have been restated.

In July 2011, we sold all of our outstanding capital stock of our then wholly-owned subsidiary, Destron Fearing, (“Destron”) to Allflex USA, Inc. (the “Destron Transaction”). In June 2011, we sold certain assets of our SARBE business excluding one contract for the sale of personal emergency location beacons (“PELS”) to the U.K. Ministry of Defence, or MOD. In April 2012, the MOD notified Signature of its exercise of the termination provision of the PELS contract effective April 24, 2012. The final settlement agreement resulted in a reimbursement to the MOD of approximately £0.4 million (approximately $0.7 million at the July 2012 exchange rate) plus value added tax (“VAT”) in July 2012.

Discontinued operations, including the sales prices and terms of sale of Destron and SARBE are more fully discussed in Note 7 to our accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Subsequent Events

On March 1, 2013, we entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Michael Cook, John Grant and Yee Lawrence, collectively, the “Buyers,” pursuant to which all of the outstanding capital stock of Digital Angel Radio Communications Limited (“DARC”), a recently formed, wholly-owned subsidiary of ours registered in the UK, was purchased by the Buyers in a management buyout. In connection with the transaction, the radio communications business of Signature was transferred into DARC. Messrs. Cook and Grant were former directors of Signature. In March 2013, we appointed a liquidator and initiated the formal liquidation of Signature. We expect the liquidation to be completed by the end of 2013, although it could extend beyond the expected timeframe. See Note 14 to our accompanying consolidated financial statements for further details of the sale, including the sales price and terms of sale.

Under the terms of the Destron Transaction with Allflex, $2.5 million of the purchase price payable to us was placed in an escrow fund, from which approximately $60,000 was released in the third quarter of 2012 to Allflex to cover certain agreed expenses, leaving a balance of approximately $2.44 million remaining in escrow. The escrow agreement provided for a January 22, 2013 release of funds, however each party made claims against the escrow and we filed a lawsuit in connection with our claim. On March 22, 2013, we and Allflex entered into a Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release (the “Settlement Agreement”) under which the parties agreed to split equally the initial escrow balance of $2.5 million as well as the interest earned on the funds while held in escrow and, accordingly, the Company received $1,250,572 of the escrow funds on March 26, 2013. The settlement agreement also provided for a full mutual release of all claims, obligations, and liabilities of the parties as well as a dismissal of our lawsuit against Allflex.

Effective April 11, 2013, Mr. Joseph Grillo, a director and our former CEO, entered into a letter agreement (“Letter Agreement”) with us wherein Mr. Grillo waived his rights to receive a third year non-compete payment under the terms of his employment agreement with the Company. The Letter Agreement also amended the existing consulting agreement between us and Mr. Grillo to provide for an additional two months of consulting payments at $25,000 each month (through March 31, 2013) in recognition of Mr. Grillo’s continued involvement in the sale of DARC and liquidation of Signature, and terminated Mr. Grillo’s previous employment agreement with us. As a result, as of April 11, 2013, all obligations to Mr. Grillo have been satisfied in full. Mr. Grillo remains on our board of directors.

On May 3, 2013, we closed on the sale of our mobile game application business to MGT Capital Investments, Inc. (“MGT”), pursuant to the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement dated April 10, 2013, for a cash payment of $136,630 and the receipt of 50,000 shares of MGT’s common stock valued at approximately $0.2 million, based on the closing price of MGT’s common stock on May 3, 2013.The MGT common stock was issued without registration and, accordingly, bears a restrictive legend until such time as the shares are registered or can be sold pursuant to an exemption from registration. We also entered into a transition services agreement in connection with the sale under which we agreed to permit MGT to occupy office space for the remaining term of an office sub-lease in exchange for MGT reimbursing us for our expenses in maintaining such office lease.

Effective May 3, 2013, we entered into an Amendment to Employment Agreement with Mr. Haller (“Amended Employment Agreement”), which amended and terminated the Employment Agreement dated August 23, 2012 previously entered into between us and Mr. Haller (“Original Employment Agreement”). Under the terms of the Amended Employment Agreement: (i) Mr. Haller resigned as our CEO, president and director upon the closing of the sale of our mobile game application business, (ii) we paid Mr. Haller all accrued but unpaid obligations due under the Original Employment Agreement plus a cash lump sum of $10,000 in lieu of any severance or similar payments that might have been required under the Original Employment Agreement, (iii) we waived the non-compete and non-solicitation provisions contained in the Original Employment Agreement, and (iv) both parties mutually agreed to release each other from any other claims that they may have against each other. The Amended Employment Agreement further provided that Mr. Haller’s stock option to purchase 2.0 million shares of our common stock at $0.05 per share, which vested on August 27, 2012, may be exercised for a period of sixty (60) days following the effective date of the Amended Employment Agreement. However, Mr. Haller’s stock options to purchase up to 8.0 million shares, which were not vested as of the date of the Amended Employment Agreement, were forfeited as of such date.

Effective May 6, 2013, our board of directors appointed Daniel Penni as our interim CEO and president. Mr. Penni continues to serve as the chairman of our board of directors.

On June 24, 2013, we agreed to acquire all of the outstanding shares of common stock (the “VeriTeQ Shares”) of VeriTeQ Acquisition Corporation (“VeriTeQ”) in accordance with a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) by and among the Company, VeriTeQ, and the shareholders of VeriTeQ (collectively, the “VeriTeQ Shareholders”). In exchange for the VeriTeQ Shares, the Company will issue to the VeriTeQ Shareholders 4,107,592 shares of the Company’s Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Shares”). Each of the Preferred Shares will be convertible into two shares of the Company’s common stock. The exchange of the VeriTeQ Shares for the Preferred Shares is referred to in this Annual Report on Form 10-K as the “Share Exchange.” After the closing of the Share Exchange (the “Closing”), VeriTeQ will become our wholly-owned subsidiary, and the VeriTeQ Shareholders will own approximately 90% of our common stock, on an as converted, fully diluted basis. Following the transaction, the Company's main business will be VeriTeQ's business.

The Closing of the Share Exchange is expected to occur on or before July 31, 2013 or such other date to which the Company, VeriTeQ Shareholders and VeriTeQ agree (the “Closing Date”). As described in more detail below, after the Closing Date, and upon the fulfillment of certain conditions, the Preferred Shares will be automatically converted into shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Conversion Shares”); all outstanding stock options to purchase shares of VeriTeQ’s common stock, whether or not exercisable or vested (the “VeriTeQ Stock Options”), will be converted into options to acquire shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Substitute Options”); and all outstanding warrants to purchase shares of VeriTeQ’s common stock (the “VeriTeQ Warrants”) will be converted into warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Converted Warrants”).

The Preferred Stock consists of 4,107,592 authorized shares. The shares of Preferred Stock being issued to the VeriTeQ Shareholders in connection with the Share Exchange will, by their principal terms:

(a)	convert into a total of 8,215,184 Conversion Shares, at which time the Conversion Shares will constitute approximately 89% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company, following the “Reverse Stock Split” (as defined below);
(b)	have the same voting rights as holders of common stock on an as-converted basis for any matters that are subject to stockholder vote;
(c)	not be entitled to any dividends; and
(d)	be treated pari passu with the common stock on liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company.

The Exchange Agreement provides that as soon as practicable following the Closing Date, but in no event more than 30 calendar days after the Closing Date, the Company is to approve, and it is to seek to obtain the approval of its stockholders for, the following transactions:

●

a [one-for-30] reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”), which will cause the total number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding, including the Conversion Shares and the shares of common stock purchasable upon exercise of the Substitute Options and the Converted Warrants, to equal approximately 12,402,109 shares of common stock of the Company;

●

amending the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to change the name of the Company to “VeriTeQ Corporation” to better reflect the business of VeriTeQ; and

●

the Company’s 2013 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Stock Plan”).

Upon closing of the proposed transaction, Messrs. Joseph J. Grillo and Dennis G. Rawan, two of our three current directors, would resign, the size of the Board of Directors would be increased to five persons, and Messrs. Scott R. Silverman, Barry Edelstein, Michael E. Krawitz, and Shawn Wooden, nominees of VeriTeQ, would be appointed to fill the vacancies created by the resignations of our current directors and the increase in the size of the Board. In addition, upon closing, Messrs. Scott R. Silverman, Randolph K. Geissler, and PositiveID Corporation will be the majority shareholders.

Industry Overview and Principal Products and Services

Mobile games applications have become commercially successful on digital storefronts that distribute games for smartphones, tablets and other advanced platforms. These include Apple’s App Store and Mac App Store, the Google Play Store and Google Chrome, Amazon’s Appstore, Microsoft’s Xbox Live Marketplace and the Samsung App Store. During 2012, we focused on developing two proprietary mobile games: Boom Boom Hamster Golf and SmashBots. We intended to publish these games for smartphones, tablets and other advanced platforms as Freemium games during 2013. Freemium means that we intended to offer the basic game for free and to offer add on parts and upgrades for purchase. In addition, we intended to generate advertising revenue as a result of publishing our games. We also focused on obtaining licenses to intellectual property from motion pictures and other well-known brands to use as inspiration for our game development.

We began our mobile game business in late August 2012, and we did not publish any games or generate any revenue related to our games during 2012.

Sales and Distribution

We intended to market, sell and distribute our games primarily through direct-to-consumer digital storefronts, such as Apple’s App Store, the Google Play Store, Amazon’s Appstore, Microsoft’s Xbox Live Marketplace and the Samsung App Store. These digital storefronts sell the mobile game applications and remit payments to the game publisher net of platforms fees, which are typically 30% of the revenue generated.

Competition

Developing, distributing and selling mobile games is a highly competitive business, characterized by frequent product introductions and rapidly emerging new platforms, technologies and storefronts. For end users, we competed primarily on the basis of game quality, brand and customer reviews. We competed for promotional and digital storefront placement based on these factors, as well as, perception of sales potential and relationships with licensors of brands and other intellectual property. We also competed for experienced and talented employees.

We competed with a continually increasing number of companies, including Zynga, DeNA, Gree, Nexon, Kabam, Rovio, Storm 8/Team Lava and Supercell. We also competed for consumer spending with large companies, such as Activision, Electronic Arts (EA Mobile), Gameloft and Take-Two Interactive. In addition, given the open nature of the development and distribution for smartphones and tablets, we also competed or would have competed with a vast number of small companies, such as ours, as well as individuals who are able to create and launch games and other content for these devices using relatively limited resources and with relatively limited start-up time or expertise. As an example of the competition that we faced, it has been estimated that more than 125,000 active games were available on Apple’s App Store as of December 31, 2012.

Development Studio

We had one development studio with 12 employees focused exclusively on the development of our mobile games. The studio, doing business as HammerCat Studio, was located in Sherman Oaks, California. Our chief creative officer and chief development officer, both with significant experience in developing games, had primary responsibility for overseeing our development studio and the game development.

Our game development process involved a significant amount of creativity, particularly because we were developing original intellectual property, Creative and technical studio expertise is necessary to design games that appeal to end users and work well on mobile phones and tablets with their inherent limitations, such as small screen sizes and control buttons. Our development expenses were approximately $0.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Government Regulation

We are subject to various federal, state and international laws and regulations that affect our business, including those relating to the privacy and security of customer and employee personal information and those relating to the Internet, behavioral tracking, mobile applications, advertising and marketing activities. Additional laws in all of these areas are likely to be passed in the future, which could result in significant limitations on or changes to the ways in which we can collect, use, host, store or transmit the personal information and data of our customers or employees, communicate with our customers, and deliver our products.

Intellectual Property

We have no purchased intellectual property. We previously developed a thermoelectric generator, which we licensed to a former employee under an asset purchase agreement in 2010. We had proprietary rights to our two mobile games under development, which we sold to MGT in May 2013. Our mobile game business had several registered trademarks, which have been assigned under the Asset Purchase Agreement to MGT.

Seasonality

Many new smartphones and tablets are released in the fourth calendar quarter to coincide with the holiday shopping season. And because many end users download games soon after they purchase or receive their new devices, sales of mobile game applications can increase during the holiday selling period.

Employees

At March 31, 2013, we employed 15 full-time employees. With the sale of our Digital Games division on May 3, 2013, we currently have one full-time employee. We believe we have had a positive relationship with our employees.

Geographic Areas

Our continuing operations are in the U.S.

Dependence on One or a Few Major Customers

Our mobile game applications were under development during 2012 and, therefore, we did not generate revenue from continuing operations during 2012.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Our independent registered public accounting firm, in their audit report related to our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012, expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Our consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 and for the two years in the period ended December 31, 2012 were prepared on a “going concern” basis; however, as a result of our continued losses, negative working capital and the cash that will be required to fund VeriTeQ over the next twelve months, our independent auditors have included an explanatory paragraph in their report on our financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, expressing substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. Our consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recovery and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

We have a history of operating losses and we may not become profitable in the future, which could ultimately result in our inability to continue operations in the normal course of business.

We incurred a consolidated loss from continuing operations of $2.4 million and $4.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Our consolidated operating activities used cash of $6.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2012. As of December 31, 2012, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $594 million. There is no assurance that going forward our operating activities, including the operating activities of VeriTeQ will be able to fund our cash requirements in the future, which could ultimately result in our inability to continue operations as a going concern.

While our board believes that the acquisition of VeriTeQ will increase stockholder value, it will temporarily result in a further decrease in our cash position, may dilute the value of our common stock and will result in a change in control.

On June 24, 2013, we entered into the Share Exchange Agreement with VeriTeQ. VeriTeQ has not yet generated revenues, and as a result, at least in the short term, the acquisition will result in a further decrease in our cash flows. Such a decrease could negatively impact the price of our common stock. In addition, we are acquiring VeriTeQ under a share exchange and this may dilute the value of shares of our common stock and will result in a change in control.

Presently, we have limited funds on hand. VeriTeQ’s business has not yet begun to generate revenue and, as a result, we will be required to raise additional capital to fund our operations, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations and could cause further dilution. If we are unable to raise sufficient capital it could result in our inability to continue operations as a going concern.

The MOD’s termination of the PELS contract in April 2012 caused a reduction in expected net cash flow from this contract of approximately $2.9 million. This reduction resulted from the resolution of the claim made by the MOD for product or inventory previously delivered, as well as the elimination of expected future revenue that would have come from the production phase of the contract. We agreed to release approximately $0.3 million in the SARBE sale escrow in 2012 and to release to Allflex in March 2013 approximately $1.2 million, held in the escrow from the sale of Destron. In addition, as of April 30, 2013, we had invested approximately $1.0 million in the mobile game application business, which we sold in May 2013. The termination of the MOD contract, the amount of funds actually released from the SARBE and Destron escrows and the investment we made in the mobile game division reduced the projected cash flow available to us. In addition, VeriTeQ’s business has not yet begun to generate revenue and, as a result, we will be required to raise additional capital to fund our operations. Our goal is to achieve profitability and to generate positive cash flows from such operations. Our capital requirements depend on a variety of factors, including but not limited to, our ability to generate revenue from VeriTeQ’s product offerings; our ability to collect the deferred purchase price from the sale of DARC; the cash proceeds we expect to generate upon the sale of the MGT common stock we received from the sale of our mobile game business; and potential obligations that we could face as a result of the liquidation of Signature, which is in process. Our historical sources of liquidity have included proceeds from the sale of businesses and assets, the sale of common stock and preferred shares and proceeds from the issuance of debt. In addition to these sources, other sources of liquidity may include the raising of capital through additional private placements or public offerings of debt or equity securities, as well as joint ventures. However, going forward some of these sources may not be available, or if available, they may not be on favorable terms. Failure to raise additional capital to fund the VeriTeQ operations and to generate positive cash flow from such operations will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows and could result in our inability to continue operations as a going concern.

We do not expect to pay a dividend on our common stock in the near future.

Previously, as a result of the sale of Destron Fearing in 2011, we had considered issuing a dividend to our common stockholders. However, the actual amount and timing of the dividend was subject to the successful execution of the PELS contract, the receipt of the full escrow from the sale of Destron and the sale of our radio communications business for an amount in excess of $1.5 million. None of these events occurred as anticipated. In addition, our board decided to invest in the mobile game business, which was subsequently sold, and to acquire VeriTeQ. Accordingly, it is not likely that we will be paying a dividend on our common stock in the near future.

Currency exchange rate fluctuations could have an adverse effect on our financial results.

During the year ended December 31, 2012, all of our revenue from discontinued operations and for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 a portion of our revenue and expenses from discontinued operations were transacted in British pounds. During both the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, we incurred approximately $(0.3) million and $0.1 million, respectively, of other comprehensive (loss) income due to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. In addition, our intercompany loans to Signature are denominated in British pounds, which resulted in foreign currency translation income (losses) recorded in discontinued operations during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 of approximately $0.2 million and $(0.2) million, respectively, and an accumulated foreign currency adjustment loss in discontinued operations of approximately $1.4 million in 2011. Going forward fluctuations between the British pound and the United States (“U.S.”) dollar could continue to have an adverse effect on our financial results from discontinued operations.

We have effected or entered into (and will likely continue to effect or enter into) acquisitions, capital raising transactions, legal settlements and contracts for services that involve the issuance of shares of our common stock (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for such shares) and, if such transactions occur, investments in our common stock will be further diluted.

Certain events over which you will have no control could result in the issuance of a significant number of additional shares of our common stock or other securities, which could dilute the value of shares of our common stock and result in a change in control. We may issue additional shares of common stock:

●

inconnection with acquisitions of VeriTeQ or other businesses or assets;

●

to raise additional capital;

●

upon the exercise of outstanding options and/or additional options and warrants issued in the future, including options and warrants that we assume upon the closing of the acquisition of VeriTeQ;

●

in connection with severance agreements; and

●

in connection with loans or other capital raising transactions.

Each of these transactions would result in further dilution.

We have the authority to issue up to a total of 50,000,000 shares of common stock (30,874,685 already issued as of June 25, 2013) and up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock without further shareholder approval, including shares that could be convertible into our common stock, subject to applicable requirements for issuing additional shares of stock. As a result of the VeriTeQ acquisition, we will be issuing 4,107,592 shares of our preferred stock exchangeable into 8,215,184 shares of our common stock after giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split and assuming 3,007,204 options and warrants after giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split. We also intend to enter into one or more financing transactions to fund VeriTeQ’s operations. The terms of these issuances may have the effect of significantly diluting or adversely affecting the holdings or the rights of the holders of our common stock and will result in a change in control.

The VeriTeQ acquisition will result in a change in control of us and as a result, our U.S. net operating loss carryforwards will be severely limited.

The current VeriTeQ shareholders will, as a result of the acquisition, own approximately 90% of our common stock on a fully diluted basis. At December 31, 2012, we had U.S. net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $198.5 million for income tax purposes that expire in various amounts from 2014 through 2032, of which approximately $177.6 million was limited under Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) section 382 due to a change in control that occurred in 2009. As a result of the change in control of us resulting from the VeriTeQ acquisition, virtually all of the $198.5 million of net operating loss carryforwards will become limited under IRC section 382.

Volatility in economic conditions and the financial markets may adversely affect our industry, business and financial performance.

We have witnessed unprecedented disruptions in financial markets, including volatility in asset values and constraints on the availability of credit. In response to these developments, the U.S. and certain other foreign governments have taken, and may take further, steps designed to stabilize markets generally and strengthen financial institutions in particular. The impact, if any that these financial market events or these governmental actions might have on us and our business is uncertain and cannot be estimated at this time. If current economic conditions deteriorate or legislation or regulatory action adversely affects the U.S. or foreign economies, there could be an adverse impact on our access to capital and to our results of operations.

Our stock price has reflected a great deal of volatility, including a significant decrease over the past few years. The volatility may mean that, at times, our stockholders may be unable to resell their shares at or above the price at which they acquired them.

From January 1, 2011 to June 25, 2013, the price per share of our common stock has ranged from a high of $0.52 to a low of $0.02. The price of our common stock has been, and may continue to be, highly volatile and subject to wide fluctuations. The market value of our common stock has declined in the past, in part, due to our operating performance. In the future, broad market and industry factors may decrease the market price of our common stock, regardless of our actual operating performance. Recent declines in the market price of our common stock have and could continue to affect our access to capital, and may, if they continue, impact our ability to continue operations at the current level. In addition, any continuation of the recent declines in the price of our common stock may curtail investment opportunities presented to us, and negatively impact other aspects of our business, including our ability to raise the funds necessary to fund VeriTeQ’s operations. As a result of any such declines, many stockholders have been or may become unable to resell their shares at or above the price at which they acquired them.

We are unable to compete with Destron’s business for three years ended July 21, 2014.

We have agreed that, for a period of three years after the closing of the Destron Transaction, which occurred on July 22, 2011, we will not:

●

engage in the business, or own any person that engages in the business, directly or indirectly, of developing, manufacturing or selling of radio frequency identification, or RFID, and visual identification tags, readers and related software for animals;

●

provide services related to the restricted business to any competitor;

●

become associated with any Destron competitor;

●

solicit, divert or take away any business related to the restricted business from a person who was during the last two years a customer or supplier of Destron Fearing; or

●

attempt to hire any person who served as an officer, employee, consultant or advisor of Destron during the year prior to the closing and who received compensation in excess of $50,000.

Our estimated loss on a lease termination is subject to change and any increase could negatively affect our financial condition, future results from discontinued operations and cash flows.

On or about December 24, 2011, Signature vacated its U.K. facility in Thamesmead. Keyswitch Varley, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Signature, is obligated on the lease. Neither Signature nor the Company guaranteed the lease. We have accrued an estimate of the liability associated with the lease termination in the results of discontinued operations as of December 31, 2012. The estimated loss is subject to change. Any increase in the loss could negatively impact our financial condition, future results from discontinued operations and cash flows.

We depend on a small team of senior management and key employees and consultants, and we may have difficulty attracting and retaining key personnel and consultants.

Our future success will depend in large part upon the continued services and performance of key senior management and other key personnel and consultants. If we lose the services of any key member, our overall operations could be materially and adversely affected. In addition, our future success will depend on our ability to identify, attract, hire, train, retain and motivate other highly skilled technical, managerial, marketing, purchasing and customer service personnel when they are needed. Competition for qualified individuals to fill these positions is intense. We cannot ensure that we will be able to successfully attract, integrate or retain sufficiently qualified personnel and consultants when and if the need arises. Any failure to attract and retain the necessary technical, managerial, marketing, purchasing and customer service and other key personnel and consultants could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

The loss of any key senior executive or key consultant could materially adversely affect our financial results. Our senior executives and key consultants, in many cases, have strong relationships with our suppliers and debtors. Therefore, the loss of the services of such senior executives or key consultants or any general instability in the composition of our senior management could have a negative impact on our relationship with parties.

If we fail to maintain proper and effective internal controls, our ability to produce accurate financial statements could be impaired, which could adversely affect our operating results, our ability to operate our business and our stock price.

During the course of our testing of our internal controls, we may identify, and have to disclose, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in our internal controls that will have to be remediated. Implementing any appropriate changes to our internal controls may require specific compliance training of our directors, officers and employees, and entail substantial costs in order to modify our existing accounting systems, which take a significant period of time to complete. Such changes may not, however, be effective in maintaining the adequacy of our internal controls, and any failure to maintain that adequacy, or consequent inability to produce accurate financial statements on a timely basis, could increase our operating costs and could materially impair our ability to operate our business. In addition, investors’ perceptions that our internal controls are inadequate or that we are unable to produce accurate financial statements may negatively affect our stock price.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

At December 31, 2012, we were obligated under operating leases for approximately 4,200 square feet of office facilities, of which approximately 4,000 square feet related to our mobile game application facilities, and approximately 200 square feet is for our corporate office. On December 24, 2011, we vacated the leased U.K. manufacturing facility in Thamesmead as more fully discussed in Note 9 to our consolidated financial statements. In addition, at December 31, 2012, our discontinued Scotland operations were obligated under operating leases for approximately 8,000 square feet.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are involved in legal proceedings from time to time. See Note 11 to our consolidated financial statements for a discussion of our legal proceedings.

ITEM 4. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES

Not applicable.

Holders

According to the records of our transfer agent, as of June 25, 2013, there were approximately 1,169 holders of record of our common stock.

Dividends

We have never paid cash dividends on our common stock. In the past, we had planned on issuing dividends based on expected proceeds from the sale of Destron, our Signature business and from termination of the PELS contract. However, these transactions did not generate the cash that we had anticipated. In addition, we decided to invest a portion of our cash on the mobile game business. As a result, there are no current plans to issue any dividends.

Securities Authorized for Issuance Under Equity Compensation Plans

During 2012, we granted 10.4 million stock options. Of the options granted, 10.0 million were granted outside of our stock option plans to Mr. Haller, our then CEO, in connection with the mobile games business as an inducement to employment and 0.4 million were granted to directors, employees and consultants under our 2003 Flexible Stock Plan.Wedid not grant any shares of restricted common stock for executive compensation during 2012. As of December 31, 2012, the following shares of our common stock were authorized for issuance under our equity compensation plans:

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial statements and related notes included in this Annual Report.

Overview

During 2012, we operated in one business segment, which we refer to as our mobile games. Mobile games develops consumer applications and mobile games for tablets, smartphones and other mobile devices. Our mobile games segment, which was located in Sherman Oaks, California, began in August 2012 when we hired Mr. Haller as our CEO. During 2012, we had two games under development by our staff employees who are experienced artists and programmers. Our game development costs were approximately $0.3 million in 2012. In addition, we incurred an additional $0.4 million in development costs from January 1, 2013 to May 3, 2013, when we sold our mobile game division as more fully discussed below under the headingSubsequent Events. We did not generate any revenue from our games under development.

Discontinued Operations

Discontinued operations are more fully discussed in Note 7 to our consolidated financial statements.

Subsequent Events

On March 1, 2013, we entered into a Share Purchase Agreement with Michael Cook, John Grant and Yee Lawrence, collectively, the “Buyers,” pursuant to which all of the outstanding capital stock of Digital Angel Radio Communications Limited (“DARC”), a recently formed, wholly-owned subsidiary of ours registered in the UK, was purchased by the Buyers in a management buyout. In connection with the transaction, the radio communications business of Signature was transferred into DARC. Messrs. Cook and Grant were former directors of Signature. In March 2013, we appointed a liquidator and initiated the formal liquidation of Signature, primarily related to its outstanding liabilities. We expect the liquidation to be completed by the end of 2013, although it could extend beyond the expected timeframe.

On June 24, 2013, we agreed to acquire all of the outstanding shares of common stock of VeriTeQ in accordance with a Share Exchange Agreement by and among the Company, VeriTeQ, and the VeriTeQ Shareholders. In exchange for the VeriTeQ Shares, the Company will issue to the VeriTeQ Shareholders 4,107,592 shares of the Company’s Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. Each of the Preferred Shares will be convertible into two shares of the Company’s common stock. After the closing of the Share Exchange, VeriTeQ will become our wholly-owned subsidiary, and the VeriTeQ Shareholders will own approximately 90% of the outstanding shares of our common stock, on an as converted, fully diluted basis. Following the transaction, the Company's main business will be VeriTeQ's business.

The Closing of the Share Exchange is expected to occur on or before July 31, 2013 or such other date to which the Company, VeriTeQ Shareholders and VeriTeQ agree. As described in more detail below, after the Closing Date, and upon the fulfillment of certain conditions, the Preferred Shares will be automatically converted into shares of the Company’s common stock; all outstanding stock options to purchase shares of VeriTeQ’s common stock, whether or not exercisable or vested, will be converted into options to acquire shares of the Company’s common stock; and all outstanding warrants to purchase shares of VeriTeQ’s common stock will be converted into warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock.

	(a)	convert into a total of 8,215,184 Conversion Shares, at which time the Conversion Shares will constitute approximately 89% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company, following the “Reverse Stock Split” (as defined below);

	(b)	have the same voting rights as holders of common stock on an as-converted basis for any matters that are subject to stockholder vote;

	(c)	not be entitled to any dividends; and

(d)

be treated pari passu with the common stock on liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company.

●

a one-for-30 reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”), which will cause the total number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding, including the Conversion Shares and the shares of common stock purchasable upon exercise of the Substitute Options and the Converted Warrants, to equal approximately 12,402,109 shares of common stock of the Company;

●

amending the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to change the name of the Company to “VeriTeQ Corporation” to better reflect the business of VeriTeQ; and

●

the Company’s 2013 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Stock Plan”).

In addition, subsequent to December 31, 2012, we: (i) entered into the Settlement Agreement with Allflex in connection with the escrow from the sale of Destron; (ii) entered into the Letter Agreement with Mr. Grillo and terminated his previous employment agreement with us; (iii) sold our mobile game business to MGT; (iv) entered into the Amendment to Employment Agreement with Mr. Haller, which terminated his employment with us; and (v) appointed our chairman of the board, Mr. Penni, as our interim CEO and president. Each of these events is more fully discussed under the headingSubsequent Events beginning on page 3 of this Annual Report, and also in Note 14 to our accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

For information regarding recent accounting pronouncements and their expected impact on our future consolidated results of operations or financial condition, see Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements.

Business Overview

Our consolidated operating activities used cash of $6.0 million and $10.7 million during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. As of December 31, 2012, our cash and cash equivalents totaled $0.7 million compared to $6.3 million as of December 31, 2011. As of December 31, 2012, our stockholders’ deficit was $2.5 million, as compared to equity of $4.0 million as of December 31, 2011, and as of December 31, 2012, we had an accumulated deficit of $593.6 million. Our consolidated operating loss was $2.4 million and $4.3 million for the years ending December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Our profitability and liquidity depend on many factors, including our ability to successfully develop and bring to market products and technologies, including VeriTeQ’s product offerings, the maintenance and reduction of expenses, and our ability to protect the intellectual property rights of VeriTeQ and others that we may acquire.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Listed below are descriptions of the accounting policies that our management believes involve a high degree of judgment and complexity, and that, in turn, could materially affect our consolidated financial statements if various estimates and assumptions were changed significantly. The preparation of our consolidated financial statements requires that we make certain estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in our consolidated financial statements and related notes. We base our estimates on historical experience and on other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates. For more detailed information on our significant accounting policies, see Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition

We follow specific and detailed guidelines in measuring revenue; however, certain judgments affect the application of our revenue policy. The complexity of the estimation process and all issues related to the assumptions, risks and uncertainties inherent with our revenue recognition policies affect the amounts reported in our financial statements. A number of internal and external factors affect the timing of our revenue recognition, including estimates of customer service/warranty periods, estimates of customer returns and the timing of customer acceptance. Our revenue results are difficult to predict, and any shortfall in revenue or delay in recognizing revenue could cause our operating results to vary significantly from quarter to quarter and year to year.

Principles of Consolidation

We consolidate all subsidiaries in which we hold a greater than 50% voting interest, which requires that we include the revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities of such subsidiaries in our financial statements. As of December 31, 2012, we owned a majority of Signature. However, if in the future we were to own less than 50% but equal to or more than 20% of the voting interest of any investee, we will account for such investment under the equity method. All significant intercompany transactions and balances between us and our subsidiary have been eliminated in consolidation. Results of operations, cash flows, and assets and liabilities of Signature are reflected as discontinued operations for 2012 and 2011.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the U.S. requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Although these estimates are based on the knowledge of current events and actions we may undertake in the future, they may ultimately differ from actual results. Included in these estimates are assumptions about bad-debt reserves, assumptions used in Black-Scholes and other option valuation models, estimated liabilities under lease obligation and other contingent liabilities, among others.

Stock-Based Compensation

In accordance with the Compensation – Stock Compensation Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC” or “Codification”), stock-based awards granted are valued at fair value and compensation cost is recognized on a straight line basis over the service period of each award.

Foreign Currencies& Foreign Currency Adjustment of Intercompany Loans

We operate a foreign subsidiary, Signature, in the U.K., which uses its local currency as the functional currency.

Signature, based in the U.K., used its local currency as its functional currency. Results of operations and cash flow for this subsidiary are reflected as discontinued operations in the 2012 and 2011 financial statements and were translated at average exchange rates during the period, and assets and liabilities, which are also reflected in discontinued operations, were translated at end of period exchange rates. Translation adjustments resulting from this process are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the statement of stockholders’ equity.

Other transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the subsidiary’s functional currency are included in our results of operations as incurred. These amounts are not material to the consolidated financial statements.

In accordance with the Foreign Currency Matters Topic of the Codification, when intercompany foreign currency transactions between entities included in the consolidated financial statements are of a long-term investment nature (i.e., those for which settlement is not planned or anticipated in the foreseeable future) foreign currency transaction adjustments resulting from those transactions are included in equity in the accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). However, when intercompany transactions are deemed to be of short-term nature, such gains and losses are required to affect consolidated earnings. As a result of the estimate of projected cash flows from a former contract that Signature had with the MOD as well as the previously estimated cash flow that could be generated from the sale of Signature’s radio communications business, in 2011, we determined that it was likely that the intercompany loans will be repaid on a short-term basis and, accordingly, we reclassified approximately $1.4 million of foreign currency translation adjustment losses related to the intercompany loans between Signature and us from other comprehensive loss to other income (expense) in the statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2011. With the liquidation of Signature in process, we continue to expect that the settlement (that is forgiveness by us) of the intercompany loans will occur in the near-term. Accordingly, during 2012 and 2011, we recorded approximately $0.2 million of income and $0.2 million of expense, respectively, due to foreign currency translation adjustments on intercompany transactions between us and Signature. All foreign currency translation adjustments are reflected in the results of discontinued operations for all periods presented.

Accounting for Income Taxes

As part of the process of preparing our consolidated financial statements, we are required to estimate our income tax liability in each of the jurisdictions in which we do business. This process involves estimating our actual current tax expense together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items, such as deferred revenues, for tax and accounting purposes. These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included in our consolidated balance sheet. We must then assess the likelihood that our net deferred tax assets in each tax jurisdiction will be recovered from future taxable income in the applicable jurisdiction and, to the extent we believe that recovery is not more likely than not or is unknown, we must establish a valuation allowance.

Significant management judgment is required in determining the provision for income taxes, deferred tax assets and liabilities and any valuation allowance recorded against the deferred tax assets. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, we had recorded a full valuation allowance against our U.S. net deferred tax assets and as of December 31, 2012, we had recorded a full valuation against our U.K. net deferred tax assets due to uncertainties related to our ability to utilize these deferred tax assets, primarily consisting of net operating losses and capital loss carry-forwards. The valuation allowances are based on our historical operating performance and estimates of taxable income in the U.S. and the U.K and the period over which our deferred tax assets will be recoverable.

If we continue to operate at a loss or are unable to generate sufficient future taxable income, or if there is a material change in the actual effective tax rates or time period within which the underlying temporary differences become taxable or deductible, we may be required to increase our valuation allowance against previously recognized deferred tax assets, which could result in a material adverse impact on our operating results. As of December 31, 2012, we had an aggregate valuation allowance against our U.S. and U.K. net deferred tax assets of approximately $92.8 million and $3.1 million, respectively.

The amount of any benefit from our U.S. and U.K. tax net operating losses is dependent on: (1) our ability to generate future taxable income and (2) the unexpired amount of net operating loss carryforwards available to offset amounts payable on such taxable income. Any greater than a fifty percent change in ownership under IRC section 382 places significant annual limitations on the use of our U.S. net operating losses to offset any future taxable U.S. income we may generate. Based on the cumulative three-year change in ownership, we exceeded the fifty percent threshold during the year ended December 31, 2009. As a result, approximately $177.6 million of the U.S. net operating loss carryforwards at December 31, 2012 was limited under IRC section 382. As a result of the VeriTeQ acquisition, we expect to again exceed the fifty percent threshold, and as a result, effective on the closing date of the VeriTeQ transaction, the use of our U.S. net operating losses will be severely limited. Also, the liquidation of Signature, once completed, will result in the elimination of our U.K. net operating loss carryforwards. Such limitations, in conjunction with the net operating loss expiration provisions, effectively eliminate our ability to use our current net operating loss carryforwards to offset future taxable income. In addition to the VeriTeQ acquisition, certain other transactions could cause an additional ownership change in the future, including (a) additional issuances of shares of common stock by us or (b) acquisitions or sales of shares by certain holders of our shares, including persons who have held, currently hold, or accumulate in the future five percent or more of our outstanding stock. See Note 6 for further information concerning our income taxes.

Results of Operations from Continuing Operations

Outlook and Trends

During the third quarter of 2012, we made a decision to pursue a new strategic direction. We decided to shift our operational focus to the mobile game applications industry under the direction of Mr. Haller. Mr. Haller has extensive experience in the game industry. During 2012, we were in the process of designing and developing several mobile game applications and we hired an experienced team of artists and programmers based in Southern California. We had expected to begin publishing mobile games on both Google’s Android and Apple’s iOS operating systems during 2013. Mobile games applications for tablets and smartphones are expanding at a significant rate. While, there are hundreds of thousands of applications in the market, we believed we would be able to differentiate ourselves through technical superiority and innovative game designs. The barriers to entry into this market are small enough that we believed we could enter with a very minimal cost of capital. We were also reviewing various opportunities, including licensure and joint venture projects, with some of the top independent mobile game producers.

In March 2013, our board of directors decided to sell our mobile game division to MGT as more fully discussed under the headingSubsequent Events beginning on page 3 of this Annual Report and to pursue other strategic alternatives, including performing due diligence for several potential business acquisitions. Our board made this decision due to higher than expected development costs to date as well as anticipated continued cost of development needed to bring the games to publication, costs that would require us to obtain third party financing or raise additional capital. It determined that selling the assets in the current stage of development in exchange for recoupment of some of the development costs and the chance to participate in future profits via ownership of MGT’s common stock was preferable to the considered alternatives, including but not limited to the possibility that insufficient financial resources would result in our inability to complete or publish the games.

Presently our corporate overhead consists of one U.S.-based corporate employee and two outsourced, part-time consultants, and three board members in a “virtual” office environment, in order to minimize costs and conserve cash. We expect to continue to execute all required filings, tax returns, and maintain insurance and perform other required activities to maintain our standing as a publicly-traded company. Also see the discussion below under the headingLiquidity and Capital Resources, which discusses our expectations regarding liquidity and our ability to continue as a going concern.

Revenue and Gross Profit

We reported no revenue or gross profit from continuing operations for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011. We did not generate revenue from our mobile game applications through the sale of the business on May 3, 2013.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $1.8 million and $2.2 million for years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The $0.5 million decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses was due primarily to $0.6 million decrease in corporate expenses mainly due to run off of directors and officers insurance coverage incurred in 2011 related to the sale of Destron, less salary and personnel related costs in 2012, lower audit fees in 2012, partially offset by an increase in other professional fees associated with strategic advisory services. The decrease in corporate expenses was partially offset by approximately $0.2 million of general and administrative expenses for the mobile game division in 2012.

Severance and Separation Expenses

We incurred approximately $0.3 million and $1.0 million of severance and separation expenses during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The severance expense was associated with a change of control provision in Mr. Grillo’s, our former CEO, employment agreement, which was triggered by the sale of Destron in 2011. Approximately one month of the related severance was recorded in 2012 and three months was recorded in 2011.

Development Expenses

Development expenses for the development of our mobile games were approximately $0.3 million in 2012. We began the development of our mobile games in August 2012.

Other Income (Expense), Net

We did not have any other income (expense) in the year ended December 31, 2012 as compared to $2.3 million in the year ended December 31, 2011. The amount in 2011 was primarily a result of the revaluation of warrants to fair value, which resulted in income of approximately $2.1 million in 2011, and approximately $0.2 million of income associated with the reversal of liabilities for which the statute of limitations had expired and for which we no longer had a legal obligation to pay.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was approximately $7,000 and $3.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The decrease was primarily due to interest expense associated with debentures that we issued in February 2011 and redeemed on July 22, 2011. Approximately $2.5 million of the interest expense in 2011 related to the value of the Series A and B warrants that we issued in connection with the debentures, $0.5 million was due to the prepayment of the debentures and approximately $0.2 million resulted from debt issue costs for the debentures. We redeemed the debentures and repurchased the Series A and B warrants with a portion of the proceeds from the sale of Destron.

Income Taxes

We had an income tax benefit of $53,000 and $0.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, related to the changes in the estimate for uncertain tax positions. Differences in the effective income tax rates from the statutory federal income tax rate arise from the increase or reduction of valuation allowances related to net operating loss carry forwards and other deferred tax assets. As of December 31, 2012, we have provided a valuation allowance to fully reserve our net operating loss carryforwards and our other existing net deferred tax assets, primarily as a result of our recurring losses and our current projections of future taxable loss.

Loss from Continuing Operations

During the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, we reported a loss from continuing operations of approximately $2.4 million and $4.3 million, respectively. The decrease in the loss for 2012 compared to 2011 relates primarily to the decrease in interest expense of $3.4 million in 2012, reduced severance expense in 2012 of approximately $0.7 million, and lower selling, general and administrative expenses of approximately $0.5 million. These decreases were partially offset by a decrease in other income of approximately $2.3 million in 2012, and development expenses of approximately $0.3 million in 2012 related to the mobile games division.

Changing Prices for Inflation

We believe that our results of operations are not materially impacted by moderate changes in the inflation rate. Inflation and changing prices did not have a material impact on our operations in 2012 and 2011.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of December 31, 2012, cash totaled $0.7 million, a decrease of $5.6 million, from $6.3 million at December 31, 2011.

Net cash used in operating activities totaled $6.0 million in 2012 and $10.7 million in 2011. In 2012, cash was used primarily by the net loss. In 2011, cash was used primarily by the net loss and payments of accounts payable and accrued obligations.

Adjustments to reconcile operating losses to net cash used in operating activities included the following:

•

Accounts payable decreased to $0.2 million at December 31, 2012 from $0.1 million at December 31, 2011. We anticipate accounts payable to decrease going forward.

•

Accrued expenses decreased to $0.7 million at December 31, 2012, from $1.4 million at December 31, 2011, due primarily to the payment of accrued severance expense of approximately $1.0 million during 2012.

Investing activities provided cash of $0.2 million and $22.2 million in 2012 and 2011, respectively. In 2012 and 2011, cash was primarily provided by discontinued operations. The cash provided by discontinued operations in 2011 was primarily from the sales of Destron and SARBE.

Financing activities provided cash of $0.3 million and used cash of approximately $5.4 million during 2012 and 2011, respectively. In 2012, cash was provided primarily by discontinued operations. In 2011, cash was used primarily by discontinued operations and to repurchase warrants.

Liquidity

As of December 31, 2012, we had a working capital deficiency of approximately $2.7 million. However, included in current liabilities of discontinued operations were approximately $0.7million of liabilities associated with subsidiaries we closed in 2001 and 2002 that were not guaranteed by us and that we believe we will not be required to pay. In addition, approximately $2.0 million of Signature’s existing liabilities included in discontinued operations at December 31, 2012 are subject to the liquidation of Signature. We initiated the formal liquidation of Signature in March 2013.

In March 2013, we sold DARC and received net proceeds of £110,000, (approximately U.S. $160,000, net of transaction fees), representing the £150,000 cash down payment from the sale offset by £40,000 used to satisfy a portion of Signature’s outstanding liabilities. Beginning on June 1, 2013, under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, we are to receive eighteen monthly payments of approximately £9 thousand each. The purchase price also included the assumption by the Buyers of approximately £175,000 (U.S. $266,000) under an invoice discount facility and £67,000 (U.S. $102,000) of certain existing consulting and severance obligations. On March 26, 2013, we received $1.25 million from the settlement of the Destron sale escrow and on May 3, 2013, we sold the assets of our game division for a cash payment of $136,630 and 50,000 shares of MGT common stock valued at approximately $0.2 million on the closing date.

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 cash that will be required to fund VeriTeQ’s business operations; our ability to collect the deferred purchase price from the sale of DARC; the cash proceeds we will generate upon the sale of the MGT common stock we received from the sale of our mobile game business; and potential obligations that we could face in connection with the liquidation of Signature, which is in process. Failure to raise capital to fund VeriTeQ’s operations and to generate positive cash flow from such operations will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Our historical sources of liquidity have included proceeds from the sale of businesses and assets, the sale of common stock and preferred shares and proceeds from the issuance of debt. In addition to these sources, other sources of liquidity may include the raising of capital through additional private placements or public offerings of debt or equity securities, as well as joint ventures. However, going forward some of these sources may not be available, or if available, they may not be on favorable terms. If we were unable to obtain the funds necessary to fund VeriTeQ’s operations, it would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows and could result in our inability to continue operations as a going concern. These conditions indicate that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue operations as a going concern, as we may be unable to generate the funds necessary to pay our obligations in the ordinary course of business. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We had no off-balance sheet arrangements for the year ended December 31, 2012.

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

Our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report are listed in Item 15 and begin immediately after the signature pages.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

None.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as of the end of the period covered by this report (the “Evaluation Date”). Based upon the evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded as of the Evaluation Date that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective. Disclosure controls are controls and procedures designed to reasonably ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this report, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls include controls and procedures designed to reasonably ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our quarterly evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures includes an evaluation of some components of our internal control over financial reporting, and internal control over financial reporting is also separately evaluated on an annual basis for purposes of providing the management report which is set forth below.

Report of Management on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining a comprehensive system of internal control over financial reporting to provide reasonable assurance of the proper authorization of transactions, the safeguarding of assets and the reliability of the financial records. Our internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance to our management and board of directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements. The system of internal control over financial reporting provides for appropriate division of responsibility and is documented by written policies and procedures that are communicated to employees. The framework upon which management relied in evaluating the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting was set forth inInternal Controls — Integrated Frameworkpublished by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

Our internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

(i)

pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;

(ii)

provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S., and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorization of our management and directors; and

(iii)

provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

Based on the results of our evaluation, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2012. However, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in our business or other conditions, or that the degree of compliance with our policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Inherent Limitations of Disclosure Controls and Procedures and Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any control system. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provideonly reasonable assurance that its objectives are met. No evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or because the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f)) during the quarter ended December 31, 2012 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. There were no significant deficiencies or material weaknesses, and therefore no corrective actions were taken.

PART III

ITEM 10. DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Our board of directors currently consists of three directors. Our board of directors was structured to be divided into three classes, and a class is generally elected to serve for a three-year term or until the directors' successors are duly elected and qualified. Thus, it has been our historical practice (since 1998) to elect approximately one-third of the members of the board of directors annually. However, with the downsizing of our board of directors in 2011, we have only three sitting members at the present time and they are not divided equally into three classes. Directors may be removed only for cause. Any director appointed by our board of directors to fill a vacancy on the board serves the balance of the unexpired term of the class of directors in which the vacancy occurred.

Our current board members are as follows:

Name	Age	Current Position	Board Member Since
Daniel E. Penni	65	Non-independent Board Member (Chairman), Audit & Governance Committee, Compensation Committee (Chair), and Nominating Committee, Interim Chief Executive Officer and President	March 1995
Dennis G. Rawan	69	Independent Director, Audit & Governance Committee (Chair) and Nominating Committee	December 2002
Joseph J. Grillo	55	Non-Independent Director	January 2008

Daniel E. Penni and Dennis G. Rawan were most recently elected as directors in 2008 and Mr. Grillo was most recently elected in 2010.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

We have a standing Audit and Governance Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating Committee of our board of directors. Each have a written charter approved by our Board.

Audit and Governance Committee

Our board of directors established an audit and governance committee in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Exchange Act. Our audit and governance committee is comprised of two members of the board of directors: Messrs. Rawan and Penni. Mr. Rawan is independent as defined in Exchange Act Rule 10A-3. Although Mr. Penni does not receive compensation for his role as president and interim CEO, we have determined that he is no longer independent under these standards. Our board of directors has determined that we have one audit committee financial expert as defined in the applicable SEC rules: Mr. Rawan, who serves as the chairman of the committee. The committee (i) recommends for approval by our board of directors an independent registered public accounting firm to audit our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year in which they are appointed, and (ii) monitors the effectiveness of the audit effort, the internal and financial accounting organization and controls and financial reporting. The duties of the committee are also to oversee and evaluate the independent registered public accounting firm, to meet with the independent registered public accounting firm to review the scope and results of the audit, to approve non-audit services provided to us by our independent certified public accountants, and to consider various accounting and auditing matters related to our system of internal controls, financial management practices and other matters. The audit and governance committee has been assigned the functions of monitoring the integrity of our financial statements, monitoring the independence, qualifications and performance of our independent auditors and overseeing our systems of internal controls.

Code of Conduct and Corporate Ethics General Policy Statement

Our board of directors has approved, and we have adopted, a Code of Conduct and Corporate Ethics General Policy Statement, or the Code of Conduct, which applies to all of our directors, officers and employees. Our board of directors has also approved, and we have adopted, a Code of Ethics for Senior Financial Officers (the “Code for SFO”) which applies to our president and chief executive officer, chief financial officer and other senior officers as deemed appropriate. The Code of Conduct and the Code for SFO are available, without charge, upon written request to Digital Angel Corporation, Attention: Lorraine Breece, Chief Financial Officer, 300 State Street, Suite 214, New London, CT 06320. The audit and governance committee of our board of directors is responsible for overseeing the Code of Conduct and the Code for SFO. Our audit and governance committee must approve any waivers of the Code of Conduct, and our board of directors must approve any waivers of the Code for SFO.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, requires our officers and directors and persons who own more than 10% of our common stock to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, and to furnish copies of all such reports to us. We believe, based on our stock transfer records and written representations from certain reporting persons, that all reports required under Section 16(a) were timely filed during 2012.

We had entered into employment agreements with certain of our former named executive officers that required us to make payments upon termination or a change in control of the Company. These arrangements are discussed below in the section“Executive Employment Arrangements with Former Named Executive Officers.” By letter agreement, we are required to give Ms. Breece a ninety-day termination notice.

Executive Employment Arrangements with Current Named Executive Officers

We have not entered into any employment agreements, termination or change in control arrangements with our current named executive officers except as discussed above in the section“Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control.”

Executive Employment Arrangements with Former Named Executive Officers

A discussion of formal employment agreements with two of our former named executive officers, Mr. Grillo and Mr. Haller, follows:

Joseph J. Grillo

In connection with Mr. Grillo’s appointment, we entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Grillo, (the “Grillo Employment Agreement”), effective as of January 1, 2008, which provided that Mr. Grillo receive a base salary of $375,000, (which was to be reviewed annually), and he was eligible to receive an annual bonus, subject to approval of our Board of Directors, ranging from 0% to 200% of base salary. Mr. Grillo’s bonus was to be determined based upon his performance in the following areas with related metrics and goals to be approved by our Board of Directors at the beginning of each performance year: company and divisional revenues, net income, cash generation, board discretion, investment analyst coverage, price per share, strategic deals/partnerships that enhance stockholder value and such other metrics and goals that our Board of Directors could establish. A non-equity incentive compensation plan was not provided to Mr. Grillo for fiscal year 2011. In 2009, Mr. Grillo elected to reduce his base salary by 10% to $337,500 which remained in effect through his resignation as chief executive officer effective January 31, 2012.

The Grillo Employment Agreement was not for a fixed period of time but provided that, if we terminated Mr. Grillo’s employment without cause or Mr. Grillo terminated his employment for good reason or Mr. Grillo terminated his employment within six months of a change in control, Mr. Grillo would receive a payment equal to the sum of one and a half times his base salary plus one and a half times his target bonus, or approximately $1.0 million. If Mr. Grillo’s termination was the result of a change of control, Mr. Grillo was required to provide us a four-month notice of such resignation.

A change of control was defined as any bona fide, third-party change of control as follows:

(a)

any person or entity (or persons or entities acting as a group) other than one of its Affiliates acquires stock of the Company that, together with stock then held by such person, entity or group, results in such person, entity or group holding more than fifty percent (50%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of the then issued and outstanding securities of the Company; or

(b)

the sale of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company to any person or entity which is not a subsidiary, parent or affiliate of the Company.

The Grillo Employment Agreement also contained non-compete and confidentiality provisions that are effective from the date of employment through 18 months from the date the Grillo Employment Agreement is terminated.

In July 2011, we sold all of our outstanding capital stock of our then wholly-owned subsidiary, Destron Fearing, (“Destron”) to Allflex USA, Inc. (“Allflex”) (the “Destron Transaction”). The Destron Transaction represented a change of control as defined in the agreement. In addition, due to Allflex’s requirement that Mr. Grillo sign a three year non-competition agreement with Allflex in connection with the sale of Destron, we agreed to amend Mr. Grillo’s employment agreement to include an additional payment of one year base salary, or $337,500, and make other changes to the terms of payment. The additional one year base salary was payable on the earlier of the second anniversary of the closing date of the Destron Transaction (July 22, 2013) or our winding down if, and only if, Mr. Grillo had not found employment by that time. In addition, if Mr. Grillo secured alternative employment during the third year after the closing of the Destron Transaction, he would have been obligated to repay the amount earned during the third year up to the amount he received from us.

On September 30, 2011, Mr. Grillo notified us of his intention to resign and on January 31, 2012, Mr. Grillo resigned. We had accrued $1.4 million of severance/change of control payments due to Mr. Grillo under the terms of his employment agreement, as amended, which included compensation related to vesting of unvested restricted stock and stock option, payroll taxes and group medical expenses. This deferred expense was amortized over the four months ending January 31, 2012 and accordingly, we recorded $1.0 million of this expense during 2011, and $0.4 million during 2012. In February 2012, the initial change of control payment of $1.0 million was placed in the Grillo Rabbi Trust and the funds were distributed to Mr. Grillo in August 2012. Effective April 11, 2013, Mr. Grillo entered into the Letter Agreement with the Company wherein Mr. Grillo waived his rights to receive a third year non-compete payment under the terms of his employment agreement with the Company. The Letter Agreement terminated Mr. Grillo’s previous employment agreement with the Company and extended Mr. Grillo’s consulting agreement with the Company until March 31, 2013. As a result, as of April 11, 2013, all obligations to Mr. Grillo have been satisfied in full. Mr. Grillo remains a director of the Company.

L. Michael Haller

On August 23, 2012, the board of directors selected and approved L. Michael Haller to be our CEO, president and a director. In connection with Mr. Haller’s appointment, we entered the Original Employment Agreement, which provided that Mr. Haller would receive a base salary of $150,000. The Original Employment Agreement also provided that, if we terminated Mr. Haller’s employment without cause or Mr. Haller terminated his employment for good reason, Mr. Haller would receive a severance payment equal to the sum of one times his base salary. In addition, on August 27, 2012, Mr. Haller was granted stock options to purchase 10,000,000 shares of our common stock, with an exercise price of $0.05 per share of which 2,000,000 vested on August 27, 2012 and were granted as a signing bonus. The remaining 8,000,000 options were performance-based and would vest upon achievement of specified targets. The stock options, which were granted outside of the company’s stock option plans as an inducement to employment, had an expiration date of August 26, 2022.

Unvested stock options held by Mr. Haller would become fully vested and exercisable on a pro-rata basis to the extent that Mr. Haller had achieved some or all of the applicable incentive targets as outlined for each unvested Tranche upon any termination of employment by us without cause, or by Mr. Haller for good reason or due to Mr. Haller’s disability or death, which occurred at least six months after the effective date of the Original Employment Agreement and would remain exercisable for a period of 60 (sixty) days following any such termination (subject to earlier expiration of the original option term). Upon any termination of employment by us for cause, by Mr. Haller for any reason other than good reason, or Mr. Haller terminated his employment for any reason, all unvested options terminated immediately.

In the event of a change in control, as defined in the agreement, all unvested stock options would immediately accelerate and become vested. The Original Employment Agreement also contained non-compete and confidentiality provisions, and also included a commitment to nominate and support Mr. Haller and one additional person named by Mr. Haller for election to the board of directors, subject to shareholder election.

Effective May 3, 2013, we entered into the Amendment to Employment Agreement with Mr. Haller, which amended and terminated the Original Employment Agreement. Under the terms of the Amended Employment Agreement: (i) Mr. Haller resigned as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, President and director upon the closing of the sale of the Company’s mobile game application business on May 3, 2013, (ii) the Company paid Mr. Haller all accrued but unpaid obligations due under the Original Employment Agreement plus a cash lump sum of $10,000 in lieu of any severance or similar payments that might have been required under the Original Employment Agreement, (iii) the Company waived the non-compete and non-solicitation provisions contained in the Original Employment Agreement, and (iv) both parties mutually agreed to release each other from any other claims that they may have against each other. The Amended Employment Agreement further stated that Mr. Haller’s stock option to purchase 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.05 per share, which vested on August 27, 2012, may be exercised for a period of sixty (60) days following the effective date of the Amended Employment Agreement. However, Mr. Haller’s stock options to purchase up to 8,000,000 shares, which were not vested as of the date of the Amended Employment Agreement, were forfeited as of such date.

See further discussion under section above titled “Executive Employment Arrangements with Former Executive Officers”.

(4)

Mr. Haller did not receive any compensation as a director. See section“Item 11. Executive Compensation” for details regarding his compensation as an executive officer for 2012.

In 2012, the compensation committee of our board of directors determined that the annual compensation for outside directors was as follows: (i) $7,200 per quarter for board service, (ii) an additional $3,600 and $1,800 per quarter for service as the audit and governance committee chair and the compensation committee chair, respectively, (iii) an additional $900 and $900 per quarter for service as a member of the audit and governance committee and the compensation committee, respectively, and (iv) $17,550 per quarter for service as the chairman of our board of directors. Reasonable out of pocket travel expenses are reimbursed when incurred. Directors who are not also executive officers are not eligible to participate in any of our other benefit plans. Mr. Penni who is currently acting as our interim president and chief executive officer is not participating in any of our other benefit plans, nor is he being compensated for serving as our president and interim chief executive officer, but is being compensated for his services as chairman of the board of directors.

None of our directors exercised options during the year ended December 31, 2012. On January 25, 2012, 1,250 shares of restricted stock vested for Messrs. Penni and Rawan each. On January 31, 2012, 39,062 shares of restricted stock vested for Messr. Grillo. On October 1, 2012, 4,166, shares of restricted stock vested for Messrs. Penni and Rawan each.

Stock Option and Other Compensation Plans

Stock Options and Other Awards Granted under the 1999 Flexible Stock Plan, the 2003 Flexible Stock Plan and the Amended and Restated Digital Angel Corporation Transition Stock Option Plan.

The 1999 Flexible Stock Plan, the 2003 Flexible Stock Plan and the Amended and Restated Digital Angel Corporation Transition Stock Option Plan (“Digital Angel Plan”) are long-term plans designed to link rewards with stockholder value over time. Stock options are granted to aid in the retention of employees and to align the interests of employees with stockholders. The value of the stock options to an employee increases as the price of our stock increases above the fair market value on the grant date, and the employee must remain in our employ for the period required for the stock option to be exercisable, thus providing an incentive to remain in our employ.

The 2003 Flexible Stock Plan and the Amended and Restated Digital Angel Corporation Transition Stock Option Plan are also designed to encourage ownership of our common stock by employees, directors and other individuals, and to promote and further our best interests by granting options and other stock awards. Under these plans, we may grant awards of our common stock in lieu of payments of cash compensation pursuant to the mutual agreement of the participant and us. During 2012, approximately 0.4 million options were granted to directors, employees and consultants, under the 2003 Flexible Stock Plan.

Stock Options Granted under the 1999 Employees Stock Purchase Plan.

The 1999 Employees Stock Purchase Plan, which is intended to qualify as an “employee stock purchase plan” under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code (“Code”), provides eligible employees with an opportunity to accumulate, through payroll deductions, funds to be used toward the purchase of our stock pursuant to options granted under the plan. Options granted in connection with an offering under the plan permit the option holder to purchase our stock at a price per share equal to 85% of the fair market value of the stock on (i) the date on which the option was granted (i.e., the first business day of the offering) and (ii) the date on which the option was exercised (i.e., the last business day of the offering), whichever is less. Section 423 of the Code also provides certain favorable tax consequences to the option holder, provided that the stock acquired under the plan is held for a specified minimum period of time. Under FAS 123R, which became effective for us on January 1, 2006, options granted under the plan may be compensatory. During 2011 and 2012, we did not grant any options under the plan. See Note 5 to our consolidated financial statements for the outstanding stock option details.

ITEM 12.SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

The following table sets forth certain information known to us regarding beneficial ownership of shares of our common stock as of June 25, 2013 by:

(i)

each person known to us to beneficially own more than 5% of our common stock,

(ii)

each of the named executive officers (as disclosed in the summary compensation table),

(iii)

each of our directors, and

(iv)

all of the current executive officers and directors as a group.

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC and includes voting and investment power with respect to the securities. In computing the number of shares beneficially owned by a person and the percentage ownership of that person, shares of common stock subject to options or warrants held by that person that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of June 25, 2013 are deemed outstanding. Such shares, however, are not deemed outstanding for purposes of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. To our knowledge, except as indicated in the footnotes to this table and subject to community property laws where applicable, the persons named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of our common stock shown opposite such person’s name. The calculation of the percentage of outstanding shares is based on 30,874,685 shares of our common stock outstanding on June xx, 2013, adjusted, where appropriate, for shares of stock beneficially owned but not yet issued.

Securities Authorized for Issuance Under Equity Compensation Plans

During 2012, we granted 50,000 options for executive compensation. We did not grant any shares of restricted common stock for executive compensation in 2012. Shares of our common stock that were authorized for issuance under our equity compensation plans is presented on page 9 of this Annual Report.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

Since the beginning of our fiscal year 2012, there has not been, and there is not currently proposed any transaction or series of similar transactions in which the amount involved exceeded or will exceed the lesser of $120,000 or 1% of the average of our total assets at years ended December 31, 2011 and 2012, and in which any related person, including any current director, executive officer, holder of more than 5% of our capital stock, or entities affiliated with them, had a material interest, other than as described in the transactions set forth below.

Consulting Agreement with Joseph Grillo

Effective February 1, 2012, we entered into a twelve month consulting agreement with our director, Joseph Grillo. Per the terms, Mr. Grillo received $25,000 per month in consulting fees, reimbursement for his monthly COBRA premiums and reimbursement up to $25,000 in executive outplacement fees for Mr. Grillo (no amount was reimbursed for executive outplacement fees as none were incurred).Effective April 11, 2013, Mr. Grillo entered into the Letter Agreement with us wherein Mr. Grillo waived his rights to receive a third year non-compete payment under the terms of his employment agreement with us. The Letter Agreement also amended the existing consulting agreement between Mr. Grillo and us to provide for an additional two months of consulting payments at $25,000 each month (through March 31, 2013) in recognition of Mr. Grillo’s continued involvement in the sale and the liquidation of Signature, and terminated Mr. Grillo’s previous employment agreement with us. See further discussion under section above titled “Executive Employment Arrangements with Former Named Executive Officers”.

Review, Approval or Ratification of Transactions with Related Parties

Our audit and governance committee’s charter requires review of any proposed related party transaction, conflicts of interest and any other transaction for which independent review is necessary or desirable to achieve the highest standards of corporate governance. It is also our unwritten policy, which policy is not otherwise evidenced, for any related party transaction that involves more than a de minimis obligation, expense or payment, to obtain approval by our board of directors prior to our entering into any such transaction. In conformity with our various policies on related party transactions, the above transaction discussed in this “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions” section had been reviewed and approved by our board of directors.

Director Independence

Our board of directors and board committees are made up of directors that are both non-independent and independent. The board of directors has determined that Mr. Rawan is independent under all applicable standards set forth by the SEC, including Exchange Act Rule 10A-3. Additionally, with regard to his membership on the company’s audit committee, Mr. Rawan is the audit committee financial expert. The board of directors has determined that Mr. Penni is non-independent, due to his appointment as president and interim chief executive officer of the company, notwithstanding the fact that Mr. Penni is not receiving any compensation for this role. Mr. Grillo remains a non-independent director.

ITEM 14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES

Audit and Non-Audit Fees

For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, fees for services provided by our principal accountant, EisnerAmper, LLP, were as follows:

	2012		2011
Audit Fees	$	135,000	$	280,000
Audit-Related Fees (review of registration statements and other SEC filings)		--		18,000

Tax Fees		--		--
All Other Fees		--		--

Total Fees	$	135,000	$	298,000

None of the services described above were approved pursuant to the exception provided in Rule 2-01(c)(7)(i)(C) of Regulation S-X promulgated by the SEC.

Compatibility of Fees

The audit and governance committee of the board of directors has considered whether the provision of the services listed above is compatible with maintaining the independent registered public accounting firm’s independence and has concluded that the services did not interfere with the independent registered public accounting firm’s independence.

Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

The audit and governance committee has a policy for the pre-approval of audit services, requiring its prior approval for all audit and non-audit services provided by our independent registered public accounting firm. Our independent registered public accounting firm may not provide certain prohibited services. The audit and governance committee’s prior approval must be obtained before the scope or cost of pre-approved services is increased.

Consistent with these policies and procedures, the audit and governance committee approved all of the services rendered by EisnerAmper LLP during fiscal years 2012 and 2011, as described above.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Board of Directors and Stockholders

Digital Angel Corporation

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Digital Angel Corporation and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2012. The consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Digital Angel Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2012, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has incurred recurring net losses, and at December 31, 2012 had negative working capital and a stockholders' deficit. These events and conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
