REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Board of Directors and Stockholders
VeriTeQ Acquisition Corporation
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of VeriTeQ Acquisition Corporation and subsidiaries (a development stage company) (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2012, the period from December 14, 2011 (inception) to December 31, 2011 and the period from December 14, 2011 (inception) to 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 VeriTeQ Acquisition Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2012, the period from December 14, 2011 (inception) to December 31, 2011 and the period from December 14, 2011 (inception) to 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.

VeriTeQ Acquisition Corporation
(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
VeriTeQ Acquisition Corporation (“VeriTeQ”), a Florida corporation, was formed on December 14, 2011, and in January 2012, it acquired a wholly-owned subsidiary, PositiveID Animal Health Corporation, a Florida corporation, from PositiveID Corporation (“PSID”), a related party. In December 2012, VeriTeQ formed a subsidiary, VTQ IP Holding Corporation, a Delaware corporation. VeriTeQ and its subsidiaries are referred to together as, “VeriTeQ,” “the Company,” “we,” “our,” and “us”. Our business consists of ongoing efforts to provide implantable medical device identification and radiation dose measurement technologies to the healthcare industry.
The Company is in the development stage as defined by Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 915-10 Development State Entities ("ASC 915-10") and its success depends on its ability to obtain financing and realize its marketing efforts. To date, the Company has not generated sales revenues, has incurred expenses and has sustained losses. Consequently, its operations are subject to all the risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise. For the period from December 14, 2011 (Inception) through December 31, 2012, the Company has accumulated losses of $1.6 million.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The financial statements include our accounts and the accounts of our subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Presentation and Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. We are in the development stage, have incurred operating losses since our inception and have a working capital deficit. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from this uncertainty.
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 grow our business operations and to service our debt. Failure to raise capital to fund our 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.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States of America (“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 used in determining the value and lives of long-lived assets, in Black-Scholes-Merton (“BSM”) valuation models, in estimating the fair value of stock-based compensation, promissory note with an embedded convertible option and royalty obligations and in determining valuation allowances for deferred tax assets, among others.
Concentration of Credit Risk
We maintained our domestic cash in one financial institution during the year ended December 31, 2012. Balances were insured up to Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limits of $250,000 per institution. At times, cash balances may exceed the federally insured limits.

(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
Stock-Based Compensation
At December 31, 2012, we had two stock-based employee compensation plans, which are described more fully in Note 7. In accordance with the Compensation – Stock Compensation Topic of the Codification, awards granted are valued at fair value and compensation cost is recognized on a straight line basis over the service period of each award.
Income Taxes
We adopted Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 740-10, Income Taxes ("ASC 740-10") which requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statement or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Temporary differences between taxable income reported for financial reporting purposes and income tax purposes consist primarily of timing differences such as amortization of intangible assets, deferred officers' compensation and stock-based compensation. A valuation allowance is provided against net deferred tax assets where we determine realization is not currently judged to be more likely than not.
The financial statements reflect net losses and therefore do not contain a provision for income taxes. We recognize and measure uncertain tax positions through a two-step process in accordance with the Income Taxes Topic of the Codification. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount which is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. We consider many factors when evaluating and estimating tax positions and tax benefits, which may require periodic adjustments and which may not accurately anticipate actual outcomes. Accordingly, we report a liability for unrecognized tax benefits resulting from the uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return and recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense.
Loss Per Common Share and Common Share Equivalent
Basic and diluted loss per common share is computed by dividing the loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Since we have incurred losses attributable to common stockholders since inception on December 14, 2011, diluted loss per common share has not been computed by giving effect to all potentially dilutive common shares that were outstanding during the period. Dilutive common shares consist of incremental shares issuable upon exercise of stock options and warrants to the extent that the average fair value of our common stock for each period is greater than the exercise price of the derivative securities.
Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards
From time to time, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) or other standards setting bodies will issue new accounting pronouncements. Updates to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC” or “Codification”) are communicated through issuance of an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”).
In June 2011, the FASB issued a new standard which changes the requirements for presenting comprehensive income in the financial statements. The new standard eliminated the option to present other comprehensive income (OCI) in the statement of stockholders’ equity and instead required net income, components of OCI, and total comprehensive income to be presented in one continuous statement or two separate but consecutive statements. The standard affected the way we present OCI, but had no other effect on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows. The standard was effective for us beginning with our first quarter 2012 reporting and had no effect on adoption.
In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-02,Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, an amendment to FASB ASC Topic 220. The update requires disclosure of amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, an entity is required to present either on the face of the statement of operations or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income but only if the amount reclassified is required to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For amounts not reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures that provide additional detail about those amounts. This ASU is effective prospectively for our fiscal years, and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2012. We do not have other comprehensive income or loss and believe the adoption of this will not have a material impact on our financial statements.

PositiveID Animal Health Corporation
On January 11, 2012, we entered into a stock purchase agreement with PSID to acquire the outstanding stock of PSID’s wholly-owned subsidiary, PSID Animal Health Corporation (“PAH”). Our chairman and chief executive officer is the former chairman and chief executive officer of PSID. In addition, the current chairman and chief executive officer of PSID was a member of our board of directors until July 8, 2013.
Under the terms of the stock purchase agreement, we: (i) exchanged 4.0 million shares of our common stock, valued at approximately $0.3 million for the 5.0 million shares of outstanding common stock of PAH; (ii) assumed the obligations under outstanding stock options to acquire 6.9 million shares of PAH, which we converted into stock options to acquire 6.9 million shares of our common stock; (iii) issued a promissory note payable to PSID in the principal amount of $0.2 million with a stated interest rate of 5% per annum (the “PSID Note”); (iv) assumed obligations under an existing development and supply agreement; and (v) agreed to make royalty payments to PSID as more fully discussed below. We recorded a discount on the PSID Note of approximately $60 thousand using a discount rate of approximately 12% per annum to reflect our estimated cost of debt. The PSID Note is secured by substantially all of the assets of PAH, pursuant to a Security Agreement dated January 11, 2012 (the “PSID Security Agreement”). The stock options assumed, which have an exercise price of $0.01 per share, were valued at $0.5 million based on the BSM valuation model using the following assumptions: expected term of 8.2 years, expected volatility of 126%, risk-free interest rate of 1.50%, and expected dividend yield of 0%.
In connection with the acquisition, we entered into a license agreement with PSID (the “Original License Agreement”) which granted us a non-exclusive, perpetual, non-transferable, license to utilize PSID’s bio sensor implantable radio frequency identification (RFID) device that is protected under United States Patent No. 7,125,382, “Embedded Bio Sensor System” (the “Patent”) for the purpose of designing and constructing, using, selling and offering to sell products or services related to our business, but excluding the GlucoChip or any product or application involving blood glucose detection or diabetes management. Pursuant to the Original License Agreement, PSID was to receive royalties in the amount of 10% on all gross revenues arising out of or relating to our sale of products, whether by license or otherwise, specifically relating to the Patent, and a royalty of 20% on gross revenues that are generated under a development and supply agreement between PSID and Medical Components, Inc. (“Medcomp”) dated April 2, 2009. The total cumulative royalty payments under the agreement with Medcomp will not exceed $0.6 million.
On June 26, 2012, the Original License Agreement was amended pursuant to which the license was converted from a non-exclusive license to an exclusive license, subject to our meeting certain minimum royalty requirements as follows: 2013 - $0.4 million; 2014 - $0.8 million; and 2015 and thereafter - $1.6 million.

The total purchase price of PAH was allocated as follows (in thousands):
Intangibles: | | | | |
Technology | | $ | 1,500 | |
Customer relationship | | | 500 | |
Deferred tax liability | | | (800 | ) |
Net | | $ | 1,200 | |
We paid for this acquisition as follows:
4.0 million shares issued and assumption of PAH options | | $ | 760 | |
Estimated royalty obligations | | | 300 | |
Promissory note, net | | | 140 | |
| | $ | 1,200 | |
Based on our current estimates of the amount of minimum royalty payments that we expect to pay under the MedComp agreement at the date of acquisition, we have accrued $0.3 million at December 31, 2012.
In determining the purchase price for PAH, we considered various factors including: (i) projected revenue streams and cash flows from the assets acquired; (ii) the potential revenue stream from the existing customer relationship; and (iii) the opportunity for expanded research and development of the product offerings and the potential for new product offerings.
PAH had no business operations or process prior to the acquisition, and, accordingly, the acquisition was treated as an acquisition of assets and unaudited pro forma results of operations of PAH for the year ended December 31, 2012 and from December 14, 2011 (inception) to December 31, 2011 are not presented. The assets acquired and consideration paid are recorded at their fair values on the date of acquisition.
See Note 11 for a discussion of a shared services agreement between us and PSID.
Bio Sensor Patents
On August 28, 2012, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “APA”) with PSID, whereby we purchased all of the intellectual property, including patents and patents pending, related to the PSID’s embedded bio sensor portfolio of intellectual property. Under the APA, PSID is to receive royalties in the amount of ten percent (10%) on all gross revenues arising out of or relating to our sale of products, whether by license or otherwise, specifically relating to the embedded bio sensor intellectual property, to be calculated quarterly with royalty payments due within 30 days of each quarter end. Minimum royalty requirements, which begin in 2013 and through the remaining life of any of the patents and patents pending, are identical to the minimum royalties due under the Original License Agreement, as amended.
Simultaneously with the APA, we entered into a license agreement with PSID granting PSID an exclusive, perpetual, transferable, worldwide and royalty-free license to the Patent and patents pending that are a component of the GlucoChip in the fields of blood glucose monitoring and diabetes management. In connection with the APA, the Original License Agreement, as amended June 26, 2012, was terminated. Also on August 28, 2012, the PSID Security Agreement was amended, pursuant to which the assets sold by PSID to us under the APA and the related royalty payments were added as collateral under the PSID Security Agreement.
We had no plans to develop or commercialize the Bio Sensor patents, and therefore, no value was ascribed to these patents. Further, we are not aware of a buyer or licensor for these patents.
On July 8, 2013, we and PSID amended the terms of the APA to eliminate the minimum royalty payments as more fully discussed in Note 13.

Asset Purchase Agreement with SNC Holding Corp.
In December 2012, we entered into an asset purchase agreement and a royalty agreement with SNC Holding Corp. wherein we acquired various technology and trademarks related to our radiation dose measurement technology. Under the terms of the agreements, we issued a non-interest bearing subordinated convertible promissory note, with an embedded convertible option, in the principal amount of $3.3 million and agreed to make royalty payments based on a percentage of revenue earned from the technology acquired. In addition, under the terms of sublicense agreement related to the technology, we agreed to make a $20 thousand sublicense payment in February 2013 and to make minimum sublicense payments aggregating $0.2 million over the period from June 2014 to March 2017. The promissory note was recorded at its fair value of approximately $2.1 million and will be revalued at each reporting period with changes in the fair value recorded as other expense/income. The total purchase price, including estimated royalty obligations of $3.7 million, was approximately $5.8 million. Under the terms of our agreement with SNC Holding Corp., certain intellectual property purchased thereunder, including intellectual property related to our dosimeter products, would revert to SNC Holding Corp. in the event of: (i) a default under the promissory note; (ii) failure to pay the minimum royalty obligations; (iii) failure to perform our obligations with respect to commercializing the intellectual property acquired; or (iv) the occurrence of an unauthorized issuance as defined in the agreement.
The total purchase price of the assets acquired was allocated as follows (in thousands):

Amortization of intangibles charged against income amounted to $0.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. We did not have amortization expense from December 14, 2011 (inception) to December 31, 2011.
The estimated fair value of the acquired intangible assets of the acquisitions discussed in Note 2 were determined on the basis of patents and other proprietary rights for technologies, contract lives and estimated revenue, customer relationship and other factors related to forecasted results, and using discounted cash flow methodology using discount rates ranging from 25% to 45%. Under this method, we estimated the cash flows that each of these intangible assets are expected to generate over the course of their expected economic lives. Actual cash flows may differ significantly from these estimates. The expected economic lives of these intangible assets were determined based upon the expected use of the asset, the ability to extend or renew patents and other contractual provisions associated with the asset, the estimated average life of the associated products, the stability of the industry, expected changes in and replacement value of distribution networks, and other factors deemed appropriate.

6. Financial Instruments
Fair Value Measurements
We define fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities, which are required to be recorded at fair value, we consider the principal or most advantageous market in which we would transact and the market-based risk measurements or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions and credit risk.
We apply the following fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement:
Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 – Inputs that are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
During 2012, we had no Level 1 or Level 2 assets or liabilities.The convertible note issued to SNC Holdings Corp., which has a convertible option embedded in the note, and the estimated royalty obligations were valued using Level 3 inputs.
Notes Payable and Long-Term Debt
The carrying amount approximates fair value based on management’s estimate of the applied discount rates and fair value adjustments. The subordinated convertible note with an embedded conversion option was discounted at 22.8% over 2 years.
Accounts Payable, Accrued Expenses, Liability to Related Party Under Shared Services Agreement
The carrying amount of these current liabilities approximates fair value because of the short term nature of these items.
Estimated Royalty Obligations
The carrying amount approximates management’s estimate of the present value of royalty obligations that will be paid, discounted at rates ranging from 25% to 60% for a period from 3 to 14 years.
The liabilities measured at fair value are classified as follows (in thousands):
| | December 31, 2012 | | | December 31, 2011 | |
| | Level 1 | | | Level 2 | | | Level 3 | | | Level 1 | | | Level 2 | | | Level 3 | |

Warrants
We have issued warrants exercisable for shares of common stock for consideration, as follows (in thousands, except exercise price):
Series / Issue Date | | Warrants Authorized | | | Warrants Issued | | | Exercised/ Forfeited | | | Balance December 31, 2012 | | | Exercise Price | | | Exercisable Period (years) | |

The Series A warrants, were issued in connection with a stock subscription agreement under which we also issued 0.2 million shares of our common stock to an investor. The Series A warrants are exercisable at any time during the exercisable periods. The Series A warrant agreement provides for the number of shares to be adjusted in the event of a stock split, a reverse stock split, a share exchange or other conversion or exchange event in which case the number of warrants and the exercise price of the warrants shall be adjusted on a proportional basis.
The Series B, C, D and E warrants were issued in connection with promissory notes, which are more fully described in Note 5. The warrants are exercisable at any time during the exercisable periods. The warrant agreements provide for the number of shares to be adjusted in the event of a stock split, a reverse stock split, a share exchange or other conversion or exchange event in which case the number of warrants and the exercise price of the warrants shall be adjusted on a proportional basis. The total value of these warrants of $0.1 million will be amortized to interest expense over the life of the promissory notes and accordingly, we recorded $31 thousand of non-cash interest expense related to these warrants during 2012.
We determined the value of the warrants issued in 2012 utilizing the following assumptions in the BSM valuation model:
Warrants Issued | | Dividend Yield | | | Volatility | | | Expected Lives (Yrs.) | | | Risk-Free Rate | | | Date of the Assumptions |
Series A | | | 0.00 | % | | | 126.00 | % | | | 3 | | | | .34 | % | | June 1, 2012 |
Series B | | | 0.00 | % | | | 126.00 | % | | | 3 | | | | .35 | % | | September 25, 2012 |
Series C | | | 0.00 | % | | | 126.00 | % | | | 3 | | | | .35 | % | | October 12, 2012 |
Series D | | | 0.00 | % | | | 126.00 | % | | | 5 | | | | .72 | % | | December 31, 2012 |
Series E | | | 0.00 | % | | | 126.00 | % | | | 5 | | | | .72 | % | | December 31, 2012 |
Stock Option Plans
In accordance with the Compensation – Stock Compensation Topic of the Codification, awards granted are valued at fair value and compensation cost is recognized on a straight line basis over the service period of each award. Upon exercise of stock options, our policy is to issue new shares from our authorized but unissued balance of common stock outstanding that have been reserved for issuance under our stock option plans. A summary of the status of our two stock options plan as of December 31, 2012, is presented below.
With the acquisition of PAH in January 2012, we acquired a stock option plan, referred to as the PAH Plan. Under the PAH Plan, the number of shares authorized to be issued or sold, or for which options, Stock Appreciation Rights (“SARs”), or Performance Shares may be granted to our officers, directors, employees and consultants is approximately 6.9 million. As of December 31, 2012, approximately 6.7 million options have been granted, net of forfeitures, approximately 6.7 million options are outstanding, and 0.2 million shares are available for future issuance. The options were fully vested on the date of acquisition of PAH in January 2012. Of the outstanding options, 3.9 million expire in 2020 and 2.8 million expire in 2021.
VeriTeQ Acquisition Corporation
(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
Under our 2012 Stock Plan, the number of shares authorized to be issued or sold, or for which options, SARs, or Performance Shares may be granted to our officers, directors, employees and consultants is approximately 10.0 million. As of December 31, 2012, 1.4 million options have been granted, net of forfeitures, 1.4 million options are outstanding, and 8.6 million shares are available for future issuance. The options vest as determined by our board of directors and expire, on average, five years from the date of grant.
Stock Option Activity
During 2012, the fair value of the options granted under the 2012 Stock Plan had a weighted average fair value of $0.17 per share. There were no stock options granted or outstanding from December 14, 2011 (inception) to December 31, 2011.
We account for our stock-based compensation plans in accordance with ASC 718-10,Compensation – Stock Compensation. Under the provisions of ASC 718-10, the fair value of each stock option is estimated on the date of grant using a BSM option-pricing formula, and amortizing that value to expense over the over the expected performance or service periods using the straight-line attribution method. The weighted average values of the assumptions used to value the options granted in 2012 under the 2012 Stock Plan were as follows: expected term of 5 years, expected volatility of 126%, risk-free interest rates of 0.67%, and expected dividend yield of 0%. The expected life represents an estimate of the weighted average period of time that options are expected to remain outstanding given consideration to vesting schedules and the Company’s historical exercise patterns. Expected volatility is estimated based on the historical volatility of similar companies’ common stock. The risk free interest rate is estimated based on the U.S. Federal Reserve’s historical data for the maturity of nominal treasury instruments that corresponds to the expected term of the option. The expected dividend yield is 0% based on the fact that we have never paid dividends and have no present intention to pay dividends. See Note 2 for the fair value of the options assumed in the PAH acquisition and the assumptions used in the BSM model used to value the options.
During the year ended December 31, 2012, we recorded approximately $0.4 million in compensation expense related to the stock options granted under the 2012 Stock Plan to our directors, employees and consultants (who provide corporate support services).
A summary of the stock option activity for our stock options plans for 2012 is as follows (shares in thousands):

Total income tax benefit | | $ | 800 | | | $ | — | |
The income tax benefit for 2012 related to the recognition of a deferred tax liability associated with the PAH acquisition. We have incurred losses and therefore have provided a valuation allowance of approximately $0.1 million against our net deferred tax asset.
The tax effects of temporary differences and carryforwards that give rise to significant portions of deferred tax assets and liabilities consist of the following:

VeriTeQ Acquisition Corporation
(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets increased by $0.2 million in 2012, due primarily to the generation of net operating losses
At December 31, 2012, we had U.S. net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $1.2 million for income tax purposes, which expire in 2032.
The amount of any benefit from our U.S. 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. Certain transactions could cause a more than fifty percent 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.
The reconciliation of the effective tax rate with the statutory federal income tax (benefit) rate is as follows:

We have not yet filed our U.S. federal and state income tax returns for 2012 and we do not currently have any examinations ongoing. Tax returns for the years 2011 onwards are subject to federal, state or local examinations. The Company has no unrecognized tax benefits for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.

If Mr. Silverman’s employment was terminated prior to the expiration of the term of the 2012 Employment Agreement, Mr. Silverman was to receive (i) all earned but unpaid salary and bonuses; (ii) the greater of the base salary from the date of termination through December 31, 2016 or two times the base salary; and (iii) the average bonus paid by us to Mr. Silverman for the last three full calendar years (or such lesser time period if the 2012 Employment Agreement was terminated less than three years from the effective date), plus certain fringe benefits required to be paid by us. In addition, the 2012 Employment Agreement contained a change of control provision that provided for the payment of five times the then current base salary and five times the average bonus paid to Mr. Silverman for the three full calendar years immediately prior to the change of control, as defined in the 2012 Employment Agreement. Any outstanding stock options and restricted stock held by Mr. Silverman as of the date of his termination or a change of control became vested and exercisable as of such date, and remained exercisable during the remaining life of the option. Mr. Silverman’s 2012 Employment Agreement was terminated effective July 8, 2013 at which time Mr. Silverman entered into a new employment agreement as more fully discussed in Note 13.

Shared Services Agreement with PSID
We entered into a shared services agreement (“SSA”) with PSID on January 11, 2012, pursuant to which PSID agreed to provide certain services, including administrative, rent, accounting, business development and marketing, to us in exchange for $30,000 per month. The SSA has also included working capital advances from time to time. The term of the SSA commenced on January 23, 2012. The first payment for such services was not payable until we received gross proceeds of a financing of at least $500,000. On June 25, 2012, the level of resources provided under the SSA was reduced and the agreement was amended, pursuant to which all amounts owed to PSID under the SSA as of May 31, 2012 were converted into 2,285,779 shares of our common stock valued at $0.2 million. In addition, effective June 1, 2012, the monthly charge for the shared services under the Shared Services Agreement was reduced from $30,000 to $12,000.
On August 28, 2012, the SSA was further amended to align with the level of services being provided, pursuant to which, effective September 1, 2012, the monthly charge for the shared services under the SSA was reduced from $12,000 to $5,000. As of December 31, 2012, we owed PSID $138 thousand, for shared services and working capital advances. On April 22, 2013, we and PSID entered into a non-binding letter agreement in which PSID agreed to provide up to an additional $60,000 of support during April and May 2013.

13. Subsequent Events
Share Exchange Agreement with Digital Angel
On June 24, 2013, we and our stockholders entered into a share exchange agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with Digital Angel Corporation (“Digital Angel”) and on July 8, 2013, we closed the transaction. Pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement, we exchanged all of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock for 4,107,592 shares of Digital Angel’s Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”). On July 10, 2013, Digital Angel realized that it incorrectly issued the Series B Preferred Stock and as result, on July 12, 2013, it exchanged the Series B Preferred Stock for 410,759 shares of its newly created Series C convertible preferred stock, par value $10.00 (the “Series C Preferred Stock”). The terms of the Series C Preferred Stock are substantially similar to the Series B Preferred Stock, including the aggregate number of shares of common stock into which the Series C Preferred Stock is convertible. Each share of Series C Preferred Stock will be converted into twenty shares of Digital Angel’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Conversion Shares”), automatically upon the effectiveness of the Reverse Stock Split (as defined below) (such transaction is sometimes to referred to herein as the “Share Exchange”). In addition, all outstanding stock options to purchase shares of our common stock, whether or not exercisable or vested, will be converted into options to acquire shares of Digital Angel’s common stock (the “Substitute Options”), and all outstanding warrants to purchase shares of our common stock will be converted into warrants to purchase shares of Digital Angel’s common stock (the “Converted Warrants”). As a result of the Share Exchange and the issuance of the Substitute Options and the Converted Warrants, we became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Digital Angel, and our shareholders owned on July 12, 2013 approximately 91% of Digital Angel’s common stock, on an as converted, fully diluted basis (including outstanding stock options and warrants). Based on the terms of the transaction, we were the accounting acquirer and as a result, going forward, our operating results became the historical operating results of Digital Angel.
The Series C Preferred Stock consists of 500,000 authorized shares, 410,759 of which have been issued. The shares of Series C Preferred Stock issued to our 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 88% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Digital Angel, following the “Reverse Stock Split” (as defined below); |
(b) | have the same voting rights as holders of Digital Angel’s 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 treatedpari passu with the common stock on liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Digital Angel. |
On July 12, 2013, Digital Angel obtained approval from a majority of its shareholders for and will effectuate a one for thirty (1:30) reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”). The Reverse Stock Split would cause the total number of shares of common stock outstanding, including the shares underlying the Series C Preferred Stock, to equal 9,286,007 shares of Digital Angel based on the shares outstanding on September 4, 2013. The Reverse Stock Split will not affect the number of shares of Digital Angel’s authorized common stock.

The Silverman Contractual Obligations shall be payable as follows: (i) one-third (1/3rd) in cash and (ii) two-thirds (2/3rds) in shares of restricted Digital Angel common stock, based on the closing price of a share of Digital Angel’s common stock on the closing date of the investment.

In addition, the Silverman Employment Agreement contains a change of control provision that provides for the payment of 299% of Mr. Silverman’s base salary plus 299% of the average annual bonus paid over the last three (3) full calendar years (or 60% of base salary if the Silverman Employment Agreement is terminated before Mr. Silverman has been employed for three full years). Any outstanding stock options and unvested restricted stock held by Mr. Silverman as of the date of termination (other than for cause or by Mr. Silverman without good reason) or a change of control shall become vested and exercisable as of such date, and remain exercisable during the life of the option. In the event Mr. Silverman is terminated for cause or terminates without good reason, any unvested options and restricted stock awards shall terminate and all vested options shall remain exercisable for a period of ninety (90) days. The Silverman Employment Agreement also contains non-compete and confidentiality provisions which are effective from the date of employment through eighteen months from the date the Silverman Employment Agreement is terminated.

Investment from Digital Angel Corporation Director
Following Digital Angel’s approval of the Share Exchange, we approached Digital Angel for a small, short-term bridge loan or equity investment. In light of the many conditions to closing, Digital Angel’s board decided not to make the loan or investment. Digital Angel’s then interim chief executive officer and president and then chairman of Digital Angel’s board, Daniel E. Penni, agreed to make a $25,000 equity investment in us. As a result of such investment in June 2013, Mr. Penni owned 100,000 shares of our common stock, which have been exchanged for 954 shares of Digital Angel’s Series C Preferred Stock. Mr. Penni continues to serve as a member of Digital Angel’s board.
Letter Agreement with PSID
On July 8, 2013, we entered into a letter Agreement with PSID (the “July Letter Agreement”) to amend certain terms of several agreements between PSID and us. The July Letter Agreement amended certain terms of the SSA entered into between PSID and us on January 11, 2012, as amended, the APA entered into on August 28, 2012, as amended, and the PSID Note dated January 11, 2012, in favor of PSID in the principal amount of $200,000. Digital Angel has agreed to assume the obligations under the PSID Note in connection with the Share Exchange as of the date of the July Letter Agreement.
The July Letter Agreement defines the conditions of:
| (iv) | The termination of the SSA, including payment of approximately $290,000 owed from us to PSID on July 8, 2013 as soon as possible with any unpaid balance due and payable upon our completing a capital raise in excess of $3 million. In the event the balance is unpaid at October 31, 2013, interest will accrue at a rate of 10% per annum. |
| (v) | The elimination of minimum royalties payable to PSID under the APA in their entirety. In the event that royalty payments under the APA based on our attainment of certain sales levels are not at least $800,000 for the calendar year 2014, PSID shall have the option to require us to transfer the patents acquired to PSID. If PSID chooses to not exercise this option, PSID shall have the option to receive a non-exclusive perpetual, worldwide, fully paid license to said patents. |
| (vi) | An amendment to the PSID Note, with a principal and interest balance of $228,000 on July 8, 2013, to provide that no interest will accrue on the PSID Note from July 8, 2013 to September 30, 2013 and to include a conversion feature under which the PSID Note may be repaid, at the Company’s option, in Digital Angel’s common stock in lieu of cash. |
Pursuant to the terms of the July Letter Agreement, Digital Angel is in the process of issuing 1.5 million shares of its common stock in connection with the repayment of the PSID Note and has agreed to issue an additional 3,073,800 shares of common stock as soon as possible thereafter. The shares to be issued by Digital Angel to PSID under the July Letter Agreement will be issued in private placement in reliance upon the exemption from the registration requirements set forth in the Act provided for in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated by the SEC thereunder.
