DIGITAL ANGEL CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Dollars in thousands)

(Unaudited)

 

1.             Basis of Presentation

 

On March 27, 2002, Digital Angel Acquisition Co. (“Acquisition”), then a wholly-owned subsidiary of Medical Advisory Systems, Inc. (“MAS”), merged with and into Digital Angel Corporation (“Digital Angel”), which was then a 93% owned subsidiary of Applied Digital Solutions, Inc. (“ADS”).  In the merger, the corporate existence of Acquisition ceased, Digital Angel became a wholly-owned subsidiary of MAS, and MAS was renamed “Digital Angel Corporation”.  In connection with the merger transaction, ADS contributed to MAS all of its stock in Timely Technology Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary, and Signature Industries, Limited, an 85% owned subsidiary.  These two subsidiaries along with Digital Angel comprised the Advanced Wireless Group (“AWG”).   As a result of this contribution by ADS, Timely Technology Corp. became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and Signature Industries, Limited became an 85% subsidiary.  Prior to the merger with Digital Angel, ADS owned 850,000 shares of MAS stock representing approximately 16.6% of the outstanding stock of MAS.  (The term “Company” means Digital Angel Corporation and its subsidiaries.)  In the merger, the shares of Digital Angel owned by ADS were converted into a total of 18,750,000 shares of MAS common stock.  As a result of the merger, ADS owned 19,600,000 shares or 77.15% of the Company’s common stock.  In connection with the merger, ADS transferred to Digital Angel Share Trust all shares of the Digital Angel Corporation common stock owned by ADS.  The trust is the owner of and, through its Advisory Board, votes all shares of Digital Angel Corporation owned by ADS, including all shares issued to ADS in consideration of the Digital Angel Corporation merger, and has the ability to elect the Board of Directors of the Company.  The Trust arose as a condition of the merger.  In connection with certain obligations of ADS the shares owned by the Trust may be sold or otherwise disposed of to satisfy such obligations.  Additionally, the Company has certain covenant obligations in connection with the ADS obligations (see Note 9).

 

The merger has been treated as a reverse acquisition for accounting purposes, with AWG treated as the accounting acquirer.  The historical combined financial statements of AWG became those of the Registrant, and the assets and liabilities of MAS were accounted for as required under the purchase method of accounting.  Although the equity accounts of AWG survive the merger, the capital structure of MAS survives the merger.  Accordingly, the equity accounts of AWG have been restated based on the common shares received by the former shareholders of AWG in the merger.

 

On March 27, 2002, ADS amended and restated its debt agreement with IBM Credit Corporation, which, among other amendments, provided for a release of AWG from the responsibility to repay an existing obligation. Accordingly, ADS assumed this obligation, which resulted in an increase to additional paid-in capital of $81.4 million net of deferred financing fees of approximately $1.1 million on March 27, 2002.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, options to acquire shares of Digital Angel common stock were converted into options to acquire shares of MAS common stock effective March 27, 2002. The conversion resulted in a new measurement date for the options and, as a result, the Company recorded a charge of approximately $18.7 million in non-cash compensation expense during the three months ended March 31, 2002. For current employees of the Company, these options are considered fixed awards under APB Opinion No. 25, and expense was recorded for the intrinsic value of the options converted.  For all others, expense was recorded for the fair value of the options converted using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Digital Angel

 

7



 

Corporation and subsidiaries as of and for three and six month periods ended June 30, 2002 and the combined financial statements of AWG as of December 31, 2001 and for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2001 (unaudited) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

 

Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments (including normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary to present fairly the financial statements have been made.

 

The consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year.  These statements should be read in conjunction with the AWG’s combined financial statements and related notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2001 included as an exhibit to our form 8-K/A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 19, 2002.

 

Certain items in the combined financial statements for the 2001 period have been reclassified for comparative purposes.

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  The Company has suffered significant losses from operations and has not generated positive cash flows from operations.  Additionally, the Company does not have an available line of credit.  These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.  The Company has conducted discussions with several banks regarding a credit facility.  Our capital requirements depend on a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, the rate of increase or decrease in our existing business base; the success, timing, and amount of investment required to bring new products on-line; revenue growth or decline; and potential acquisitions. Providing we are successful in obtaining the credit facility, of which there can be no assurance, management believes that we will have the financial resources to meet its future business requirements for at least the next twelve months.

 

The financial information in these financial statements includes an allocation of expenses incurred by ADS on behalf of the Company as discussed in Note 9.  However, these financial statements may not necessarily be indicative of the results that may have occurred had AWG been a separate, independent entity during the periods presented or of future results of the Company.

 

Accounting Changes

 

Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (FAS 142).  FAS 142 requires that goodwill and certain intangibles no longer be amortized but instead tested for impairment at least annually.  There was no impairment of goodwill upon adoption of FAS 142.  However, there can be no assurance that future goodwill impairment tests will not result in impairment charges.

The following table presents the impact of FAS 142 on net loss and net loss per share had the standard been in effect for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2001:

2.             Principles of Consolidation and Combination

 

The June 30, 2002 condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries from the date of acquisition.  The combined financial statements at December 31, 2001 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001 include the accounts of AWG entities under common control.  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation and combination.  AWG used the equity method of accounting for its investments which are less than majority owned, but over which it had significant influence.

 

3.             Revenue Recognition

 

For software consulting and development services, the Company recognizes revenue based on the percent complete for fixed fee contracts, with the percent complete being calculated as either the number of direct labor hours in the project to date divided by the estimated total direct labor hours or based upon the completion of specific task orders.  It is the Company’s policy to record contract losses in their entirety in the period in which such losses are foreseeable.  For non fixed fee jobs, revenue is recognized based on the actual direct labor hours in the job times the standard billing rate and adjusted to realizable value, if necessary.  For product sales, the Company recognizes revenue at the time products

are shipped and title has transferred, provided that a purchase order has been received or a contract has been executed, there are no uncertainties regarding customer acceptance, the sales price is fixed and determinable and collectability is deemed probable.  If uncertainties regarding customer acceptance exists, revenue is recognized when such uncertainties are resolved.  There are no significant post-contract support obligations at the time of revenue recognition.  The Company’s accounting policy regarding vendor and post-contract support obligations is based on the terms of the customers’ contract, billable upon the occurrence of the post-sale support.  Costs of goods sold are recorded as the related revenue is recognized.  The Company provides warranties on certain of its products.  Estimated warranty costs are accrued in the same period in which the related revenue is recognized, based on anticipated parts and labor costs and utilizing historical experience.  The Company does not offer a warranty policy for services to customers. Revenues from contracts that provide unlimited services are recognized ratably over the term of the contract.  Fixed fee revenues from contracts for services are recorded when earned and excludes reimbursable costs.  Reimbursable costs incurred in performing such services are presented on a net basis and include transportation, medical and communication costs.  Other revenues are recognized at the time services or goods are provided.

6.             Segment Information

 

The Company is engaged in the business of developing and bringing to market proprietary technologies used to identify, locate and monitor people, animals and objects.  Prior to March 27, 2002, the Company operated in four segments — Animal Tracking, Digital Angel Technology, Digital Angel Delivery System, and Radio Communications and Other.  With the acquisition of Medical Advisory Systems, Inc. in March 2002, the Company re-organized into four segments:  Animal Applications, Digital Angel Systems, GPS and Radio Communications, and Physician Call Center and Other.  Animal Applications is the new name of our segment previously identified as Animal Tracking.  We combined our Digital Angel Technology segment with our Digital Angel Delivery System segment to form the new Digital Angel Systems segment, which is now managed as a single business unit.  GPS and Radio Communications is the new name of our segment previously identified as Radio Communications and Other and represents the activity of Signature Industries Limited, which is located in the United Kingdom.  Physician Call Center and Other reflects the newly acquired Medical Advisory Systems, Inc. business.  Prior period segment information has been restated to reflect our current segment structure.

 

The accounting policies of the operating segments are the same as those described in the summary of accounting policies in the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2001.  It is on this basis that management utilizes the financial information to assist in making internal operating decisions.  The Company evaluates performance based on stand-alone segment operating income.

Provider of medical assistance and technical products and services

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

On February 27, 2001, ADS acquired approximately 16.6% of the capital stock of MAS (AMEX:DOC), a provider of medical assistance and technical products and services, in a transaction valued at approximately $8.3 million in consideration for 3.3 million shares of ADS’s common stock.  ADS controlled two of the seven seats on the Company’s Board of Directors and became the largest single shareholder.  This investment was accounted for under the equity method from February 27, 2001 through March 27, 2002.  The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the shares acquired was approximately $6.8 million (goodwill) and was being amortized on a straight-line basis over five years, through December 31, 2001.

 

On March 27, 2002, Digital Angel Corporation merged with a wholly-owned subsidiary of MAS.  For accounting purposes, AWG is treated as the acquirer, and the assets and liabilities of MAS were recorded at fair value under the purchase method of accounting.  The consolidated financial statements reflect the results of operations of MAS from the date of acquisition.  The costs of acquisitions include all payments according to the acquisition agreements plus costs for investment banking services, legal and accounting services that were direct costs of acquiring these assets.

 

The cost of the March 27, 2002 acquisition consisted of 5.218 million shares of common stock valued at $25.0 million, 1.2 million options and 75,000 warrants valued at $3.4 million, and acquisition costs of $3.3 million.  The valuation of the stock is based on the value of the shares of MAS held by stockholders other than Applied Digital Solutions prior to the acquisition.  Included in the acquisition costs are certain severance liabilities of $2.5 million, related to employment agreements of two officers of MAS.  The value of the options and warrants is based on the fair value of the options and warrants of MAS at the date of acquisition.  The fair value was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

 

In considering the benefits of a merger of AWG and MAS, the management of AWG recognized the strategic advantage of combining the advanced wireless technologies being developed by AWG with the physician-staffed call center infrastructure of MAS.  One of the principal benefits of such a combination is the ability of the Company to offer a complete “end-to-end solution” to the various vertical markets for Digital AngelTM products.

 

Unaudited pro forma results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 are included below.  Such pro forma information assumes that the above acquisition had occurred

Silva, et al. v. Customized Services Administrators, Incorporated, dba CSA Travel Protection, Inc. et al., No. CV798528 (Santa Clara County Superior Court)

 

On May 29, 2001, Janet Silva, individually and as Guardian ad Litem for Jonathan Silva, a minor, and the Estate of Clarence William Silva, Jr. (collectively, “Plaintiffs”) filed suit against Customized Services Administrators, Incorporated (“CSA”), Pricesmart, Inc. (“Pricesmart”), Commercial Union Insurance Company (“Commercial Union”), CGU Insurance Group, and the Company (collectively the “Defendants”) in the Superior Court of the State of California in and for the County of Santa Clara.  The allegations of the complaint arise from a vacation guarantee insurance policy (the “Insurance Contract”) allegedly purchased by Plaintiffs from Defendants on March 6, 2000.  The complaint alleges, among other things, that Defendants breached the Insurance Contract, defrauded Plaintiffs, acted in bad faith, engaged in deceptive and unlawful business practices, resulting in the wrongful death of Clarence William Silva, Jr. (the “Deceased”) and the intentional infliction of emotional distress on Plaintiffs.  The complaint seeks the cost of funeral and burial expenses of the Deceased and amounts constituting the loss of financial support of the Deceased, general damages, attorney’s fees and costs, and exemplary damages.

 

CSA has filed a cross-claim against the Company alleging that the Company should be held liable for any liability that CSA may have to Plaintiffs.  The Company has denied the allegations of the complaint and the CSA cross-claim and is vigorously contesting all aspects of this action.

 

The Company is party to various other legal proceedings.  In the opinion of management, these proceedings are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the financial position, cash flows or overall trends in results of the Company.  The estimate of potential impact on the Company’s financial position, overall results of operations or cash flows for the above legal proceedings could change in the future.

9.             Related Party Activity

 

ADS provided certain general and administrative services to the Company including finance, legal, benefits and other miscellaneous items.  The costs of these services are included in the Company’s Statements of Operations based on utilization, which management believes to be reasonable.  Costs of these services were $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001, and $0.2 million and $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively.  ADS also charged the Company $1.8 million of interest expense in 2002, for which the liability was converted to a capital contribution.  In addition, accrued expenses of $0.3 million were relieved and contributed to capital by ADS.  Other transactions resulted in a due to ADS of $0.2 million at June 30, 2002.

 

ADS acquired Timely Technology Corp., a part AWG, in 2000 and the merger agreement included an earnout provision based on performance through June 30, 2002.  ADS has agreed to pay the selling shareholder of Timely Technology Corp., $3.6 million, payable in shares of ADS stock, as the final payment under the earnout provision.  This obligation has been reflected in the accompanying financial statements as a capital contribution by ADS and an increase to goodwill and other intangibles.

 

In connection with certain obligations of ADS, the Company has the following covenants.  Minimum Cumulative EBITDA, as defined, in the credit agreement, excludes non-cash compensation expense, one-time charges, impairment losses or any liability or claim that will be satisfied by issuance of the Company’s common stock.

The Company adopted the Digital Angel Corporation Transition Stock Option Plan, which as amended, provides for 11.2 million shares of common stock for which options and other grants may be granted.

 

On June 27, 2002, the Company's Board of Directors granted 3,910,000 options to employees and directors of the Company.  The options have an exercise price of $3.39, the fair value of the Company's common stock on the date of grant, and expire in 10 years.  3,000,000 of the options vest one year from the date of grant and the remaining vest one-third annually on the first anniversary of the grant date.  Pursuant to an amendment to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation, required by the terms of the Digital Angel Share Trust Agreement, the option grant requires the approval of two thirds of the Company's stockholders.  Approval of the grant has not been obtained.

Item 2.                                   Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

 

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the accompanying financial statements and related notes thereto.

 

We consist of MAS and its three subsidiaries, which formerly were subsidiaries of Applied Digital Solutions, Inc. (“ADS”) – Digital Angel Corporation (“DAC”), Timely Technology Corp. and Signature Industries, Limited.  These three subsidiaries were known as the Advanced Wireless Group (“AWG”).  DAC is engaged in the business of developing and bringing to market proprietary technologies used to identify, locate and monitor people, animals and objects.  DAC is the result of the merger in September 2000 of Destron Fearing Corporation and Digital Angel.net Inc., which was then a wholly-owned subsidiary of ADS. Before March 27, 2002, the business of DAC was operated in four segments:  Animal Tracking, Digital Angel Technology, Digital Angel Delivery System, and Radio Communications and Other.  With the acquisition of MAS in March 2002, the Company re-organized into four segments:  Animal Applications, Digital Angel Systems, GPS and Radio Communications, and Physician Call Center and Other.  Animal Applications is the new name of our segment previously identified as Animal Tracking.  We combined our Digital Angel Technology Segment with our Digital Angel Delivery System segment to form the new Digital Angel Systems segment, which is now managed as a single business unit.  GPS and Radio Communications is the new name of our segment previously identified as Radio Communications and Other.  Physician Call Center and Other reflects the newly acquired MAS business.  Prior period segment information has been restated to reflect our current segment structure.

The significant decrease is due primarily to a reduction in basic research and development expenses associated with the Digital AngelTM product.  Since the fundamental technology has now been developed, research expenses have declined and expenses are now focused on development for specific vertical markets.

 

Depreciation and Amortization

 

Depreciation and amortization expense from operations was $1.1 million in the three month period ended June 30, 2002, a decrease of $1.9 million, or 63.8%, from $3.0 million in the three month period ended June 30, 2001.  As a percentage of revenue, the depreciation and amortization expense was 11.9% and 35.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

 

The decrease was primarily due to the adoption of FAS 142, which took effect January 1, 2002.  The adoption of FAS 142 requires the testing of goodwill for impairment at least annually, eliminating the need for monthly amortization of goodwill.  Accordingly, goodwill amortization was not recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2002.

Income Taxes

 

The Company and AWG had effective income tax rates of 0% and a (0.2)% for the three month period ended June 30 of 2002 and 2001, respectively.  Differences in the effective income tax rates from the statutory federal income tax rate in 2002 arise primarily from valuation allowances recorded on deferred tax assets resulting from net operating losses and in 2001 arise primarily from valuation allowances recorded on deferred tax assets resulting from net operating losses, non-deductible goodwill amortization associated with acquisitions and state taxes net of federal benefits. The U.S. companies in AWG were included in ADS’s consolidated federal income tax return through March 27, 2002.  MAS and its subsidiaries file a separate consolidated federal income tax return.  After March 27, 2002, AWG’s U.S. subsidiaries will file a consolidated federal tax return with MAS.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

 

Selling general and administrative expenses from operations increased $20.9 million, or 437.4%, in the six months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2001.  This increase was caused primarily by an $18.7 million charge arising from the remeasurement of options in connection with the merger.  Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, options to acquire shares of Digital Angel common stock were converted into options to acquire shares of MAS common stock effective March 27, 2002.  The conversion resulted in a new measurement date for the options and, as a result, the Company recorded a charge of approximately $18.7 million in non-cash compensation expense during the three months ended March 31, 2002.  For current employees of the Company, these options are considered fixed awards under APB Opinion No. 25, and expense was recorded for the intrinsic value of the options converted.  For all others, expense was recorded for the fair value of the options converted using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.  As a percentage of revenue, selling, general and administrative expenses were 150.7% and 25.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

Interest Expense

 

Interest expense was $1.9 million and $0.2 million for the first six months of 2002 and 2001, respectively.  Interest expense in the first six months of 2002 includes interest expense of $1.8 million on the debt owed to IBM Credit Corporation by Applied Digital Solutions, Inc.  As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, this debt was recognized by AWG due to ADS’s default on the loan agreement.  On March 27, 2002, ADS restructured its loan agreement with IBM Credit Corporation.  The provisions of this restructuring included AWG being released from responsibility to repay this debt.  Accordingly, ADS assumed this liability on March 27, 2002.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company and AWG had effective income tax rates of 0.0% and 2.0% for the first six months of 2002 and 2001, respectively.  Differences in the effective income tax rates from the statutory federal income tax rate in 2002 arise primarily from valuation allowances recorded on deferred tax assets resulting from net operating losses and in 2001 arise primarily from valuation allowances recorded on deferred tax assets resulting from net operating losses, non-deductible goodwill amortization associated with acquisitions and state taxes net of federal benefits. The U.S. companies in AWG were included in ADS’s consolidated federal income tax return through March 27, 2002.  MAS and its subsidiaries file a separate consolidated federal income tax return.  After March 27, 2002, AWG’s U.S. subsidiaries will file a consolidated federal tax return with MAS.

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES FROM OPERATIONS

 

As of June 30, 2002, cash and cash equivalents totaled $0.6 million, unchanged from December 31, 2001.  Through March 27, 2002, AWG used a cash management system to apply excess cash on hand against advances due to ADS.  Cash used in operating activities totaled $0.9 million and $0.8 million in the first six months of 2002 and 2001, respectively.  In the first six months of 2002, the use of cash was due to the net loss, after adjusting for non-cash charges, increases in other current assets, and decreases in accounts payable and accrued expenses.  Partially offsetting these uses of cash were increases in cash from decreases in accounts receivable.  Accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, decreased by $0.9 million, or 16.8%, to $4.5 million at June 30, 2002 from $5.4 million at December 31, 2001.  This decrease is primarily due to a slower rate of sales in the six months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to the rate of sales in 2001.

 

Inventory levels decreased by $0.2 million to $5.6 million at June 30, 2002 from $5.8 million at December 31, 2001.  Inventory acquired from our acquisition of MAS amounted to $0.1 million.

 

Investment in affiliates decreased by $6.5 million, or 96.2%, to $0.3 million at June 30, 2002 compared to $6.8 million at December 31, 2001.  This decrease was due to transferring our shares representing our 16.5% ownership in MAS to ADS.

 

Accounts payable decreased by $341,000 to $3.4 million at June 30, 2002 from $3.8 million at December 31, 2001.  This was primarily due to the previously mentioned sales change and corresponding change in purchasing.

 

27



 

Accrued expenses and other current liabilities increased by $2.3 million, or 112.4%, to $4.3 million at June 30, 2002 from $2.0 million at December 31, 2001.  The increase was due to accrued acquisition costs, and accrued expenses acquired from the acquisition of MAS.

 

Investing activities used cash of $0.5 million in the first six months of 2002 and $0.8 million in the first six months of 2001.  During the first six months of 2002 and 2001, $0.9 million and $1.1 million, respectively, were spent to acquire property and equipment.

 

Financing activities provided cash of $1.4 million in the first six months of 2002 and 2001, respectively.  Cash was provided primarily by stock option exercises in 2002 and additional investments by Applied Digital Solutions, Inc. in the six months end June 30, 2002 and 2001.

ADS maintains a term and revolving credit agreement with IBM Credit (IBM Credit). Under the credit agreement in effect through March 27, 2002, IBM Credit maintained liens and security interests in the outstanding capital stock of the three AWG subsidiaries and on their assets to collateralize ADS’s obligations to IBM Credit under the IBM credit agreement.

 

ADS generated a significant loss from operations in 2000. As a result, ADS was not in compliance with certain financial covenants of the IBM credit agreement as of December 31, 2000. The IBM credit agreement was amended and restated on October 17, 2000 and further amended on March 30, 2001. In connection with the amendment on March 30, 2001, Digital Angel granted IBM Credit Corporation warrants to acquire 1.2 million shares of Digital Angel’s common stock valued at $0.3 million. As of the March 30, 2001 amendment, ADS was in compliance with the revised covenants.

 

The IBM credit agreement contains certain quarterly financial covenants, which became more restrictive during 2001. ADS anticipated that it would continue to comply in 2001 with the quarterly financial covenants in the IBM credit agreement. However, ADS was not in compliance with its minimum EBITDA (as defined in the IBM credit agreement) or collateral shortfall covenants at June 30, 2001. ADS was also not in compliance with the minimum EBITDA, Tangible Net Worth and Current Assets to Current Liabilities covenant requirements at September 30, 2001 and it again had a collateral shortfall.  As of December 31, 2001, ADS was not in compliance with various financial covenants, including minimum Tangible Net Worth, EBITDA, the ratio of Current Assets to Current Liabilities, and collateral. The IBM credit agreement was amended and restated on July 1, 2001, September 15, 2001, November 15, 2001, December 31, 2001, January 31, 2002 and February 27, 2002.  These amendments extended the due dates of principal and interest payments under the credit agreement until April 2, 2002.

 

At December 31, 2001, ADS’s outstanding borrowings under the IBM credit agreement totaled $82.6 million. At that time, ADS did not have the funds to repay the borrowings under the IBM credit agreement. Accordingly, the $82.6 million of outstanding borrowings was allocated to AWG effective as of September 30, 2001 and was reflected as a current obligation in the December 31, 2001 combined balance sheet. Interest associated with the borrowings was allocated to AWG for the period from September 30, 2001 to March 27, 2002.  Under the terms of the agreement and plan of merger with MAS, the common stock and assets of the three AWG subsidiaries were released from all liens and security interests under the IBM credit agreement, and the shares of the Company’s common stock beneficially owned by ADS upon completion of the merger were transferred to the Digital Angel Share Trust as

 

28



 

collateral for the debt.  ADS assumed the debt which was treated as a capital contribution resulting in an increase in additional paid-in capital of approximately $81.4 million.

 

On March 1, 2002, ADS and Digital Angel Share Trust, a newly created Delaware business trust, and IBM Credit entered into a Third Amended and Restated Term Credit Agreement. The new credit agreement became effective on March 27, 2002, the effective date of the merger between Digital Angel and MAS. Amounts outstanding under the new credit agreement bear interest at an annual rate of 17% and mature on February 28, 2003.  No principal or interest payments are due until the maturity date. However, the maturity date will be extended for consecutive one-year periods if ADS repays at least 40% of the original principal amount outstanding plus accrued interest and expenses prior to February 28, 2003, and an additional 40% of the original principal amount outstanding plus accrued interest and expenses prior to February 28, 2004.  In any event, all amounts outstanding will be required to be repaid by August 15, 2005.  If all amounts are not repaid by February 28, 2003, the unpaid amount will accrue interest at an annual rate of 25%, and it they are not repaid by February 28, 2004, the interest rate increases to 35%.

 

ADS’s new credit agreement contains debt covenants made by ADS relating to its financial position and performance, as well as the Company’s financial position and performance.  The Company’s ability to meet its financial performance requirements and be in compliance throughout 2002 with covenants in the new credit agreement that apply to the Company cannot be assured.  If business conditions are other than as anticipated or other unforeseen events or circumstances occur, these may impact the ability of ADS and the Company to remain in compliance with the covenants.  In the absence of waiver or amendment to such financial covenants, such noncompliance would constitute an event of default under the new credit agreement, and IBM Credit would be entitled to accelerate the maturity of all amounts ADS owes it.  At June 30, 2002 the Company and ADS are out of compliance with certain of the covenants.  ADS has received a communication from its lender indicating that pending the expected execution of formal agreements the lender has agreed to waive such noncompliance of the Company and ADS.

 

On March 27, 2002, upon completion of the merger between Digital Angel and MAS, in satisfaction of a condition to the consent to the merger by IBM Credit, ADS transferred to a Delaware business trust controlled by an advisory board all of the shares of our common stock owned by it and, as a result, the trust has legal title to approximately 77.15% of our common stock.  The trust has voting rights with respect to our common stock until ADS’s obligations to IBM Credit are repaid in full.  The trust may be obligated to liquidate the shares of our common stock owned by it for the benefit of IBM Credit if ADS fails to make payments, or otherwise defaults, under its new credit agreement with IBM Credit.

 

To date, financing from acquisitions, ADS’s advances and revenue generated from operations have been our primary sources of funding. However, we do not anticipate receiving additional advances from ADS and the Company has not been able to generate positive cash flows from operations.  We estimate that we will need to obtain approximately $5 million to $7 million in additional funding over the next twelve months in order to continue our efforts to implement our business plan. As a result, we will need to obtain additional capital in the near future. As of the date of these statements, we have held discussions with several banks and an asset-based lender regarding a credit facility. Our capital requirements depend on a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, the rate of increase or decrease in our existing business base; the success, timing, and amount of investment required to bring new products on-line; revenue growth or decline; and potential acquisitions. If we are successful in obtaining the credit facility and in raising additional equity capital, of which there can be no assurance, management believes that we will have the financial resources to meet its future business requirements for at least the next twelve months. See “RISK FACTORS — We Will Need Additional Financing.”

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS AND ASSOCIATED RISKS

 

Forward – Looking Statements and Associated Risk.

 

This Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 with respect to our financial condition, results of operations and business, and includes statements relating to:

 

      our growth strategies including, without limitation, our ability to deploy new products and services;

 

•     anticipated trends in our business and demographics;

 

•       our ability to successfully integrate the business operations of recently acquired companies;

 

•       our future profitability and liquidity; and

 

•       regulatory, competitive or other economic influences.

 

Words such as “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates” and similar expressions also identify forward-looking statements.  These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from estimates or forecasts contained in the forward-looking statements.  Some of these risks and uncertainties are beyond our control.

 

Risk Factors

 

You should carefully consider the risk factors listed below.  These risk factors may cause our future earnings to be less or our financial condition to be less favorable than we expect.  You should read this section together with the other information contained herein.

 

As a Result of the Merger and the Transfer of Shares of Our Common Stock to the Digital Angel Share Trust, There is Uncertainty as to the Future Control of Our Company.

 

After the merger, in satisfaction of a condition to the consent to the merger of IBM Credit Corporation, ADS transferred to the Digital Angel Share Trust (the “Trust”) all shares of our common stock owned by ADS.  As a result, the Trust is the beneficial owner of approximately 77% of our common stock, and it controls us with respect to all matters upon which our stockholders may vote, including the selection of the Board of Directors and mergers, acquisitions and other significant corporate transactions.  There can be no assurance as to how the Trust will exercise control over our Company.

 

Upon the request of IBM Credit Corporation, the Trust will be obligated to sell the shares of our common stock owned by ADS for the benefit of IBM Credit Corporation if ADS fails to make payments to IBM Credit Corporation beginning on February 28, 2003 or at such time ADS otherwise defaults under the agreement. Such sales may be in private transactions or in the public market. We can give no assurance as to when or how shares of our common stock will be sold, as to who will purchase such shares, or as to the number of shares that may be sold at any given time. As a result, duration of the Trust’s control over us and the identity of any parties which may acquire control of us if and when such sales commence is uncertain.

 

30



 

Sales of Our Common Stock by the Trust May Cause a Reduction in the Market Value of Our Common Stock.

 

If amounts due to IBM Credit Corporation by ADS are not paid when due, including at least $33 million on February 28, 2003, plus accrued interest and expenses, or if ADS or the Company is otherwise in default under its credit agreement and its obligations are accelerated, IBM Credit Corporation will have the right to require shares of our common stock held in the Trust to be sold to provide funds to satisfy the obligations of ADS. It is unlikely that ADS will have the funds required for payment of such obligations. The sale of a significant amount of shares of our common stock owned by the Trust in a single transaction or in a series of transactions over a short period of time could result in a significant decline in the market value of our common stock.

 

We May Face Operational and Strategic Challenges That May Prevent Us From Successfully Integrating The MAS Business.

 

The operation of our Company after the merger involves risks related to the integration and management of acquired properties and operations. We may encounter substantial difficulties, costs and delays in integrating the operations of our subsidiaries with our business, including:

 

•     perceived adverse changes in business focus;

 

      potential conflicts in marketing or other important relationships;

 

      loss of key employees or customers;

 

•     possible inconsistencies in standards, controls, procedures and policies among the companies and the need to implement and harmonize company-wide financial, accounting, information and other systems;

 

      failure to maintain the quality of products and services that such companies have historically provided;

 

      the need to coordinate geographically diverse organizations; and

 

      the diversion of management’s attention from the day-to-day operations.

 

If we fail to integrate these businesses successfully and/or if we fail to realize the intended benefits of the merger, our financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected and the market price of our common stock could decline from its current market price.

 

We May Continue to Incur Losses.

 

We incurred a net loss of $24.0 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2002. We also recorded a net loss of $17.4 million and $3.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. No assurance can be given as to whether or when we will be profitable. Profitability depends on many factors, including the success of marketing programs, the maintenance and reduction of expenses, and the ability to coordinate successfully the operations of business units. If we become profitable, of which there is no assurance, we may not be able to sustain or increase profitability. If we fail to achieve and maintain profitability within the time frame expected by investors, the market price of our common stock may be adversely affected.

 

31



 

We Depend on the Protection of Our Proprietary Technology.

 

Our success depends partly on our ability to maintain patent and trade secret protection, to obtain future patents and licenses, and to operate without infringing on the proprietary rights of third parties. There can be no assurance that the measures we have taken to protect our intellectual property, including those relating to the Digital Angel Systems, will prevent its misappropriation or circumvention. In addition, there can be no assurance that any patent application, when filed, will result in an issued patent, or that our existing patents, or any patents that may be issued in the future, will provide us with significant protection against competitors. Moreover, there can be no assurance that any patents issued to or licensed by us will not be infringed upon or circumvented by others. Litigation to establish the validity of patents, to assert infringement claims against others, and to defend against patent infringement claims can be expensive and time-consuming, even if the outcome is in our favor. We also rely to a lesser extent on unpatented proprietary technology, and no assurance can be given that others will not independently develop substantially equivalent proprietary information, techniques or processes or that we can meaningfully protect our rights to such unpatented proprietary technology.

 

Many Factors Can Negatively Affect the Animal Identification Market.

 

The electronic animal identification market can be negatively affected by such factors as food safety concerns, consumer perceptions regarding cost and efficacy, international technology standards, national infrastructures, United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) reviews, United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC) approvals, and slaughterhouse removal of microchips. In addition, certain foreign governmental standards that require specific codes may limit our ability to sell microchips from our current inventory in such countries. Many of the principal customers for fish electronic identification devices are government contractors that rely on funding from the United States government, and this market could be adversely affected by any decline in the availability of government funds. We may be adversely affected by these and other factors affecting the animal identification market, which could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

 

We Depend on a Single Supplier For Our Electronic Identification Products.

 

We rely largely on a production arrangement with Raytheon Corporation for the manufacture of our syringe-injectable microchips that are used in all of our electronic identification products. The termination, or any significant reduction, by Raytheon of its production of these microchips could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, Raytheon may not be able to produce sufficient quantities to meet any significant increased demand for our products or to meet any such demand on a timely basis. Any inability or unwillingness of Raytheon to meet potentially increased demand for our product could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.  The Company also has its own microchip production operations located in another contract facility that we intend to use more intensively to meet additional product demand.

 

We Depend on Principal Customers.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2002, we had three customers of our Animal Applications segment that accounted for a large portion of our gross revenue.  Pacific States Marine, Schering-Plough Pharmaceutical and Biomark, Inc. accounted for approximately 15.0%, 12.4% and 10.8% of our gross Animal Applications revenues, respectively. In addition, the GPS and Radio Communications segment is heavily dependent on contracts with domestic government agencies and foreign governments, including the United Kingdom, primarily relating to military applications. The loss of, or a significant reduction in, orders from these or our other major customers could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

 

32



 

Significant Competition Exists in the Visual and Electronic Identification Markets.

 

The market for visual and electronic identification for companion animals and livestock is highly competitive. We believe that our principal competitors in the visual identification market for livestock are AllFlex and Y-Tex, and our principal competitor in the electronic identification market that has developed permanent electronic identification devices for the companion animal market is AllFlex. In addition, other companies could enter this line of business in the future. Certain of our competitors have substantially greater financial and other resources than we do. We cannot ensure that we will compete successfully or that our competitors will not succeed in developing or marketing technologies and products that are more widely accepted than those being developed by us or that would render our products obsolete or noncompetitive. We are not aware of competitors currently marketing products that would compete with the Digital Angel technology. However, we are aware of several potential competitors that have expressed an interest in similar technologies. If such competitors enter the market and compete with the Digital Angel technology, such competition could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

 

We Are Subject to Government Regulation.

 

We are subject to federal, state and local regulation in the United States and other countries, and we cannot predict the extent to which we may be affected by future legislative and other regulatory developments concerning our products and markets. We are required to obtain regulatory approval before marketing most of our products. Our products are subject to FCC regulations governing electromagnetic emissions, and our insecticide products have been approved by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and are produced in accordance with EPA regulations. Sales of insecticide products are incidental to our primary business and do not represent a material part of our operations. Our products also are subject to compliance with foreign government agency requirements. Our contracts with our distributors generally require the distributor to obtain all necessary regulatory approvals from the governments of the countries in which the distributor sells our products. However, any such approval may be subject to significant delays. Some regulators also have the authority to revoke approval of previously approved products for cause, to request recalls of products and to close manufacturing plants in response to violations. Any actions by these regulators could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

The Digital Angel Systems Segment is a Development Stage Enterprise.

 

The Digital Angel Systems segment is in the initial stage of operations and is a development stage enterprise. As a result, it has no operating history upon which to base an evaluation of its current business and future prospects. The first Digital Angel product was introduced in November 2001. Accordingly, this segment has generated no substantial revenues. Moreover, this segment does not currently have any contracts in place that will provide any significant revenue. In addition, because of this segment’s lack of an operating history, management has limited insight into trends that may emerge and could materially adversely affect its business. This segment’s prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in new and rapidly evolving markets. Stockholders should consider the risks and difficulties the Digital Angel Systems segment may encounter in its new and rapidly evolving market, especially given the segment’s lack of operating history. These risks include the Digital Angel Technology segment’s ability to:

 

              develop and market the Digital Angel technology by integrating and miniaturizing new technologies

 

33



 

into marketable products and services;

 

      build a customer base;

 

      generate revenues;

 

      compete favorably in a highly competitive market;

 

      access sufficient capital to support growth;

 

      recruit and retain qualified employees;

 

      introduce new products and services; and

 

      build technology and support systems.

 

The Digital AngelTM Technology Is Not Proven And We May Not Be Able To Develop Products From This Unproven Technology.

 

The Digital AngelTM Systems segment depends on the development, integration, miniaturization and successful marketing of several pieces of advanced technology that have not previously been integrated or used as anticipated by this segment. The Digital AngelTM Systems segment depends upon advanced technology, including: wireless communication, biosensors, motion determination and global positioning system capabilities. Many of these technologies are unproven or relatively new. In addition, these technologies have not been previously integrated or miniaturized into a commercial product. No assurances can be given as to when or if the Digital AngelTM technology will be successfully marketed. Our ability to develop and commercialize products based on our proprietary technology will depend on our ability to develop our products internally on a timely basis or to enter into arrangements with third parties to provide these functions. If we fail to develop and commercialize products successfully, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

The Digital Angel Systems Segment Expects to Incur Future Losses and May Not Achieve Profitability.

 

From the period from January 2000 until June 30, 2002, approximately $7.3 million has been invested in research and development relating to the Digital AngelTM technology. Our management expects the Digital Angel Systems segment to incur additional development, sales and marketing, and other general expenses. As a result, the Digital Angel Systems segment may incur losses for the foreseeable future and will need to generate revenues to achieve profitability. Even if the segment achieves profitability, it may not be able to sustain it.

 

34



 

We Depend on a Small Team of Senior Management and We May Have Difficulty Attracting and Retaining Additional Personnel.

 

Our future success is highly dependent upon the continued services and performance of senior management and other key personnel.  If we lose the services of any member of our senior management team, our overall operations could be 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 these individuals is intense. We cannot ensure that we will be able to successfully attract, integrate or retain sufficiently qualified personnel when the need arises. Any failure to attract and retain the necessary technical, managerial, marketing, purchasing and customer service personnel could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

 

We Will Need Additional Financing

 

Our company, especially the Digital Angel Systems segment, currently relies upon the revenue generated by our Animal Applications segment.  We estimate that we will need to obtain approximately $5.0 million to $7.0 million in additional funding over the next twelve months in order to continue our efforts to implement our business plan. As of the date of these financial statements, we have held discussions with several banks and an asset-based lender regarding credit agreements.

 

Our actual capital needs will depend on operating losses, development expenses, working capital needs and other factors. Forecasts of such factors are inherently uncertain, and any variation in those factors from the levels used in current forecasts could result in us needing more capital, or capital earlier, than projected. Capital can be difficult and expensive to obtain, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional financing. If this capital is not raised, we may not be able to execute our business plan, may not be able successfully to develop and market the Digital AngelTM technology, and our financial condition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected. To date, we have not been able to obtain this capital. No assurance can be given that we will be able to raise this additional necessary capital.

 

If funds are not available when required for working capital needs, our ability to carry out our business plan could be adversely affected and we may be required to scale back growth and operations to reflect the extent of available funding. Lending arrangements will probably include limitations on our ability to incur other indebtedness, pay dividends, create liens, sell or purchase shares of capital stock, sell assets or make acquisitions, or enter into other transactions. Such restrictions may adversely affect our ability to finance future operations or capital needs or to engage in other business activities. If additional funds are raised by issuing equity or convertible debt securities, the value of our stockholders’ investment may be diluted. These securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of our common stockholders.

 

Moreover, we may issue additional shares:

 

      to employees;

 

      in connection with acquisitions and corporate alliances; and

 

      to raise capital.

 

Pursuant to a registration rights agreement, the Digital Angel Share Trust and any of its transferees of our common stock, subject to certain terms and conditions, have the right to require us to register shares of

 

35



 

our common stock beneficially owned by them upon demand and any other time we register stock for sale.

 

In addition, IBM Credit Corporation currently holds a warrant to acquire 1,163,906 shares of our common stock. The warrant is exercisable for five years beginning on April 5, 2002, or earlier under certain circumstances. Under the warrant, IBM Credit Corporation, subject to certain terms and conditions, has the right to require us to register shares of our common stock subject to the warrant.

 

IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

 

In July 2001, the FASB issued FAS No. 141 Business Combinations and FAS No. 142 Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.  FAS 141 requires business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 to be accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and broadens the criteria for recording intangible assets separate from goodwill.  Recorded goodwill and intangibles will be evaluated against these new criteria and may result in certain intangibles being included in goodwill, or alternatively, amounts initially recorded as goodwill may be separately identified and recognized apart from goodwill.  FAS 142 requires the use of a non-amortization approach to account for purchased goodwill and certain intangibles.  Under a non-amortization approach, goodwill and certain intangibles will not be amortized into results of operations, but instead would be reviewed for impairment and written down and charged to results of operations only in the periods in which the recorded value of goodwill and certain intangibles is more than its fair value. We adopted the provisions of each statement, which apply to goodwill and certain intangibles acquired prior to June 30, 2001, on January 1, 2002. The adoption of these standards will have the impact of eliminating our amortization of goodwill commencing January 1, 2002. There was no impairment of goodwill upon adoption of FAS 142.  Future impairment reviews may result in periodic write-downs.

 

In August 2001, the FASB issued FAS 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.  This standard supersedes FAS 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of, and provides a single accounting model for long-lived assets to be disposed of. This standard significantly changes the criteria that would have to be met to classify an asset as held-for-sale. This distinction is important because assets to be disposed of are stated at the lower of their fair values or carrying amounts and depreciation is no longer recognized. The new rules will also supercede the provisions of APB Opinion 30, Reporting the Results of Operations-Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions, with regard to reporting the effects of a disposal of a segment of a business and will require expected future operating losses from Discontinued Operations to be displayed in Discontinued Operations in the period in which the losses are incurred, rather than as of the measurement date as presently required by APB 30. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. We adopted this statement on January 1, 2002. The adoption of FAS 144 did not have a material impact on our operations or financial position.

 

36



 

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

We have operations and sales in various regions of the world. Additionally, we may export and import to and from other countries.  Our operations may therefore be subject to volatility because of currency fluctuations, inflation, and changes in political and economic conditions in these countries. Sales and expenses may be denominated in local currencies and may be affected as currency fluctuations affect our product prices and operating costs or those of our competitors.

 

We presently do not use any derivative financial instruments to hedge our exposure to adverse fluctuations in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, fluctuations in commodity prices or other market risks; nor do we invest in speculative financial instruments.

 

Due to the nature of our borrowings and our short-term investments, we have concluded that there is no material market risk exposure and, therefore, no quantitative tabular disclosures are required.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1.                    Legal Proceedings.

 

Silva, et al. v. Customized Services Administrators, Incorporated, dba CSA Travel Protection, Inc. et al., No. CV798528 (Santa Clara County Superior Court)

 

On May 29, 2001, Janet Silva, individually and as Guardian ad Litem for Jonathan Silva, a minor, and the Estate of Clarence William Silva, Jr. (collectively, “Plaintiffs”) filed suit against Customized Services Administrators, Incorporated (“CSA”), Pricesmart, Inc. (“Pricesmart”), Commercial Union Insurance Company (“Commercial Union”), CGU Insurance Group, and the Company (collectively the “Defendants”) in the Superior Court of the State of California in and for the County of Santa Clara.  The allegations of the complaint arise from a vacation guarantee insurance policy (the “Insurance Contract”) allegedly purchased by Plaintiffs from Defendants on March 6, 2000.  The complaint alleges, among other things, that Defendants breached the Insurance Contract, defrauded Plaintiffs, acted in bad faith, engaged in deceptive and unlawful business practices, resulting in the wrongful death of Clarence William Silva, Jr. (the “Deceased”) and the intentional infliction of emotional distress on Plaintiffs.  The complaint seeks the cost of funeral and burial expenses of the Deceased and amounts constituting the loss of financial support of the Deceased, general damages, attorney’s fees and costs, and exemplary damages.

 

CSA has filed a cross-claim against the Company alleging that the Company should be held liable for any liability that CSA may have to Plaintiffs.  The Company has denied the allegations of the complaint and the CSA cross-claim and is vigorously contesting all aspects of this action.

 

We and our subsidiaries are party to various other legal actions as either a plaintiff or a defendant.  In our opinion, as of the date of this Form 10-Q, these proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, our cash flows or our overall trends in results. The estimate of the potential impact on our financial position, our overall results of operations or our cash flows for these proceedings could change in the future.
