NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Dollars in thousands)

(Unaudited)

1. The Company and Basis of Presentation

Digital Angel Corporation and subsidiaries (“the Company”) develops and deploys sensor and communications technologies that enable rapid and accurate identification, location tracking, and condition monitoring of high-value assets. The Company operates in two segments: Animal Applications and GPS and Radio Communications.

Animal Applications— develops, manufactures, and markets a broad line of electronic and visual identification devices for the companion animal, livestock, laboratory animal, fish and wildlife markets worldwide. The positive identification and tracking of cattle and hogs are crucial for asset management and for disease control and food safety. In addition to the visual ear tags, which have been sold by the Company since the late 1940’s, Animal Applications utilizes radio frequency transmission technologies in its electronic ear tags and implantable microchips.

GPS and Radio Communications— consists of the design, manufacture and support of GPS enabled equipment. Applications for the segment’s products include location tracking and message monitoring of vehicles, aircraft and people in remote locations through systems that integrate GPS and geosynchronous satellite communications and GPS enabled equipment and intelligent communications products and services for telemetry, mobile data and radio communications applications serving commercial and military markets. Technology development in this segment includes the integration and miniaturization into marketable products of two technologies: wireless communications and position location technology (including global positioning systems (GPS) and other systems).

On February 28, 2005, the Company acquired Denmark-based DSD Holdings A/S and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Daploma International A/S and Digitag A/S. DSD Holdings A/S became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Digital Angel Corporation. DSD Holdings A/S produces visual and radio frequency identification (“RFID”) tags as well as tamper-proof seals for packing and shipping applications. DSD Holdings A/S’s operations are included from the date of acquisition.

As of March 31, 2005, Applied Digital Solutions, Inc. (“Applied Digital” or “ADS”) owned 24,291,673 shares or 55.1% of the Company’s common stock.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company as of March 31, 2005 and for the three month periods ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 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 months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year. These statements should be read in conjunction with the Digital Angel Corporation’s audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2004 which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Certain items in the condensed consolidated financial statements for the 2004 periods have been reclassified for comparative purposes.

2. Principles of Consolidation

The March 31, 2005 and 2004 condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries (DSD Holdings A/S from the date of acquisition on February 28, 2005 and OuterLink Corporation from the date of acquisition on January 22, 2004). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

3. Revenue Recognition

The Company, except for its subsidiary OuterLink Corporation, recognizes product revenue at the time product is shipped and title has transferred, provided that a purchase order has been received or a contract has been executed, there are no uncertainties regarding customer acceptance, the sales price is fixed and determinable and collectibility is deemed probable. If uncertainties regarding customer acceptance exist, revenue is recognized when such uncertainties are resolved. There are no significant post-contract support obligations at the time of revenue recognition. Digital Angel Corporation’s accounting policy regarding vendor and post contract support obligations is based on the terms of the customers’ contracts, billable upon occurrence of the post-sale support. Costs of products sold and services provided are recorded as the related revenue is recognized. Digital Angel Corporation offers a warranty on its products. For non-fixed and fixed fee jobs, service revenue is recognized based on the actual direct labor hours in the job multiplied by the standard billing rate and adjusted to net realizable value, if necessary. Other revenue is recognized at the time service or goods are provided. It is the Company’s policy to record contract losses in their entirety in the period in which such losses are foreseeable.

The Company’s subsidiary, OuterLink Corporation, earns revenue from messaging services, which generally provide for service on a month-to month basis and from the sale of related products to customers (communication terminals and software). OuterLink Corporation’s messaging service is only available through use of its products, such products have no alternative use. Accordingly, service revenue is recognized as the services are performed. OuterLink Corporation’s product revenue, for which title and risk of loss transfers to the customer on shipment, is deferred upon shipment and is recognized ratably over the estimated customer service period, which customarily is 30 months.

4. Stock-Based Compensation

The Company applies APB Opinion No. 25 and related Interpretations in accounting for all its stock option plans. Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized under these plans. The Company has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” and SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure,” which was released in December 2002 as an amendment to SFAS No. 123. The following table illustrates the effect on net loss and earnings per share if the fair value based method had been applied to all awards (in thousands, except per share data):

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2005			2004
Reported net loss	$	(493	)	$	(3,744	)
Stock-based employee compensation expense in reported net loss, net of related tax effects	—			—
Stock-based employee compensation expense determined under the fair value based method, net of related tax effects	(1,275		)	(1,501		)
Pro forma net loss	$	(1,768	)	$	(5,245	)

Loss per share (basic and diluted)
As reported	$	(0.01	)	$	(0.12	)
Pro forma	$	(0.04	)	$	(0.17	)

In December 2004, SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (SFAS 123R) was issued. SFAS 123R replaced SFAS No. 123 and supercedes APB Opinion No. 25. The Company is required to adopt SFAS 123R beginning January 1, 2006. SFAS 123R requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values. The pro forma disclosures previously permitted under SFAS 123 no longer will be an alternative to financial statement recognition. The Company has begun, but has not completed, evaluating the impact of the adoption of SFAS 123R on its results of operations. In connection with evaluating the impact of SFAS 123R, the Company is considering the potential implementation of different valuation methods to determine the fair value of share-based compensation. The Company believes the adoption of SFAS 123R will have a material impact on its results of operations, regardless of the valuation method used.

6. Stock Exchanges with Applied Digital Solutions, Inc.

On February 25, 2005, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with Applied Digital. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company issued 644,140 shares of its common stock to Applied Digital. The Company received 684,543 shares of Applied Digital common stock as consideration. The value of the stock exchanged was $3.5 million. The Applied Digital common stock received by the Company was used as partial consideration for the acquisition of DSD Holdings A/S and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Daploma International A/S and Digitag A/S, as described more fully in note 9.

On March 1, 2004, the Company issued 3,000,000 shares of its common stock to Applied Digital pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement (“Stock Purchase Agreement”) with Applied Digital dated August 14, 2003. The Stock Purchase Agreement provided for Applied Digital to purchase 3,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $2.64 per share and a warrant (the “Applied Digital Warrant”) to purchase up to 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, which is exercisable for five years beginning February 1, 2004, at a price per share of $3.74 payable in cash or shares of common stock of Applied Digital. The consideration for the sale of the Company’s 3,000,000 shares and the warrant was 1,980,000 shares of Applied Digital common stock. As of March 31, 2004, the Company had sold 530,000 shares of Applied Digital common stock. The Company accounted for the Applied Digital stock as a trading security under SFAS 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities”. In the quarter ended March 31, 2004, the Company recorded realized losses of $702,000 on the 530,000 shares of Applied Digital common stock sold and an unrealized loss of $1,884,000 on the remaining 1,450,000 shares held by the Company. Fair value of the Applied Digital common stock was determined by quoted values reported on NASDAQ. As of December 31, 2004, the Company had sold all of the 1,980,000 shares of Applied Digital common stock for $6.4 million. In December 2004, Applied Digital exercised its warrant for 1,000,000 shares of common stock. Net proceeds to the Company upon exercise of the warrant were $3.74 million.

7. Discontinued Operations

In April 2004, our Board of Directors approved a plan to sell our Medical Systems segment. The Medical Systems segment represented the business operations of Medical Advisory Systems, Inc, which we acquired on March 27, 2002. The Medical Systems segment was one of our reporting units in accordance with SFAS 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. Accordingly, the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of our Medical Systems segment have been reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented. The following discloses the operating losses from discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, consisting of losses attributable to the Medical Systems segment:

9. Acquisitions

The following describes the acquisitions by the Company (in thousands):

Company Acquired	Date Acquired	Acquisition Price		Goodwill and Other Intangibles Acquired		Other Net Assets and Liabilities			Business Description
DSD Holdings A/S	2/28/05	$	3,697	$	4,544	$	(847	)	Manufactures and markets visual and electronic RFID tags for livestock.
OuterLink Corporation	1/22/04	$	8,501	$	8,522	$	(21	)	Provider of real-time, satellite-based automated tracking, wireless data transfer and two-way messaging with large fleets of vehicles.

On February 28, 2005, the Company acquired DSD Holdings A/S and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Daploma International A/S and Digitag A/S. DSD Holdings A/S became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Digital Angel Corporation. The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. The excess of purchase price over the fair value of the assets and liabilities of DSD Holdings A/S has been recorded as goodwill. The acquisition of DSD Holdings A/S has been recorded based on preliminary estimates as of the date of acquisition. Any changes to the preliminary estimates during the allocation period will be reflected as an adjustment to goodwill.

Under the terms of the DSD Holdings A/S acquisition, the Company purchased all of the outstanding capital stock of DSD Holdings A/S in consideration for a purchase price of seven times DSD Holdings A/S’s average annual EBITDA over the next three years less outstanding indebtedness at the end of the time period and less 30% of the total compensation paid to Lasse Nordfjeld, CEO of DSD Holdings A/S. An initial payment of $3.5 million was made at closing through the delivery of Applied Digital common stock valued at $3.5 million which the Company acquired from Applied Digital in exchange for $3.5 million of Digital Angel Corporation common stock.

In addition, Digital Angel entered into employment agreements with the CEO of DSD Holdings A/S and its subsidiaries, Lasse Nordfjeld and his son, the President of Daploma, Torsten Nordfjeld.

Denmark-based DSD Holdings A/S through its subsidiaries manufactures and markets visual and electronic RFID tags for livestock as well as tamper-proof seals for packing and shipping applications. The company has been in business for more than 30 years and has successfully developed markets in the Middle East, Japan, Australia and throughout Europe, particularly in Eastern Europe where new European Union entrants have to meet strict livestock tagging and tracking standards.

Digital Angel Corporation operates DSD Holdings A/S and its operating subsidiaries from their current headquarters near Copenhagen, Denmark.

On January 22, 2004, the Company acquired OuterLink Corporation, which became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Digital Angel Corporation. The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. The excess of purchase price over the fair value of the assets and liabilities of OuterLink Corporation was recorded as goodwill of $3.8 million and intangible assets of $4.7 million. The intangible assets are customer relationships, trademarks and core technology. The customer relationships and core technology are being amortized over periods ranging from 4 to 8 years. Amortization recorded in the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 was $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively. The trademark has an indefinite life.

The cost of the acquisition consisted of 100,000 shares of Series A preferred stock valued at $8.3 million and acquisition costs of $0.2 million. The Series A preferred stock became convertible into four million shares of the Company’s common stock when the volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock equals or exceeds $4.00 per share for ten consecutive trading days. As of March 31, 2005, 99,976 preferred shares had been converted into 3.9 million shares of the Company’s common stock.

The valuation of the stock was primarily based on historical trading history and stock prices of the Company’s common stock and a marketability discount of 30%. The acquisition costs consist of legal and accounting related services that were direct costs of the acquisition.

In considering the benefits of the OuterLink Corporation acquisition, the management of Digital Angel Corporation recognized the strategic complement of OuterLink Corporation’s technologies and customer base with Digital Angel Corporation’s existing animal applications and military GPS business lines. This complement provides for a strong platform for further development of Digital Angel Corporation’s capabilities in the area of high-value asset identification, tracking and condition monitoring.

The results of DSD Holdings A/S and OuterLink Corporation have been included in the consolidated financial statements since their dates of acquisition, February 28, 2005 and January 22, 2004, respectively. Unaudited pro forma results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 are included below. Such pro forma information assumes that the above acquisitions had occurred as of January 1, 2005 and 2004, and revenue is presented in accordance with the Company’s accounting policies. This summary is not necessarily indicative of what the results of operations of the Company would have been had it been a combined entity during such periods, nor does it purport to represent results of operations for any future periods.

10. Contingencies

Digital Angel Corporation vs. Allflex USA, Inc and Pet Health Services (USA), Inc.

On October 20, 2004, the Company commenced an action in the United Stated District Court for the District of Minnesota against AllFlex USA, Inc. and Pet Health Services (USA), Inc. This suit claims that Allflex is marketing and selling a syringe implantable identification transponder that infringes a 1993 patent granted to the Company for syringe implantable identification transponders previously found by the United States District Court for the District of Colorado to be enforceable. The suit also claims that PetHealth is using, selling and/or distributing the same transponder in violation of the Company’s patent. The suit seeks, among other things, an adjudication of infringement and that the infringing parties be enjoined from further improper action. The suit also seeks actual damages, punitive damages and interest, costs and attorneys’ fees. The Company believes that the suit is well-grounded in law and fact. Allflex has asserted a counterclaim for breach of contract of an existing license agreement between the Company and Allflex and asserted a counterclaim seeking a declaration of the parties’ rights and obligations under the license agreement. Allflex has also moved for a judgment on the pleadings, asserting that the license agreement should act as a bar to a case for infringement. The Company has contested the motion on the ground that Allflex’s actions exceed the scope of the license and constitute an impermissible infringement of the patent. A hearing on this motion was held on March 22, 2005, but the court has not yet ruled on the motion. Discovery in the action has been commenced and is continuing.

Digital Angel Corporation vs. Datamars, Inc., Datamars, S.A., The Crystal Import Corporation and Medical Management International, Inc.

On October 20, 2004, the Company commenced an action in the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota against Datamars, Inc., Datamars, S.A., The Crystal Import Corporation, and Medical Management International, Inc. (“Banfield”). This suit claims that the defendants are marketing and selling syringe implantable identification transponders manufactured by Datamars that infringe the Company’s 1993 patent for syringe implantable identification transponders previously found by the United States District Court for the District of Colorado to be enforceable. Certain of the locations in which the infringing transponders are sold, include, but are not limited to, “Banfield, The Pet Hospital” of which certain locations are associated with PetSmart stores. The suit seeks, among other things, an adjudication of infringement and that the infringing parties be enjoined from further improper action. The suit also seeks actual damages, punitive damages and interest, costs and attorneys’ fees. The Company believes that the suit is well-grounded in law and fact. Discovery in the action has been commenced and is continuing.

Crystal v. Digital Angel, et al.

On or about December 29, 2004 The Crystal Import Corporation filed an action against AVID Identification Systems, Inc. and Digital Angel in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Alabama. Crystal’s complaint primarily asserts federal and state antitrust and related claims against AVID, though it also asserts similar claims against Digital Angel. Given the uncertainties associated with all litigation and given that this case was not commenced against Digital Angel until February 2, 2005, the Company is unable to offer any assessment on the potential liability exposure, if any, to Digital Angel from this lawsuit. The Company has filed a motion to dismiss the action for failure to state a claim on which relief could be granted, or in the alternative, to have the action transferred to the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota for consolidation with the Datamars patent infringement action referred to above or to have the action stayed until the completion of the Datamars action. The parties have filed briefs on the motion, but an oral argument has not been held, and no ruling on the motion has been made. Discovery in the action has been commenced and is continuing.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2005 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2004

Revenue

Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2005 increased $2.6 million, or 24.4%, to $13.4 million when compared to $10.8 million in revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2004.

Revenue for each of the operating segments was as follows (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended March 31, 2005		Three Months Ended March 31, 2004
Animal Applications	$	8,297	$	7,072
GPS and Radio Communications	5,106		3,699
Total	$	13,403	$	10,771

The Animal Applications segment’s revenue increased $1.2 million, or 17.3%, in the three months ended March 31, 2005 compared to the three month period ended March 31, 2004. The increase in revenue was principally due to an increase in microchip and visual product sales to livestock customers of $0.7, an increase in microchip sales to companion animal customers of $0.1 million and the inclusion of $0.6 million of revenue from DSD Holdings A/S. DSD Holdings A/S was acquired on February 28, 2005. The increase in sales is offset by a decrease in sales to fish and wildlife and other customers of $0.2 million.

The GPS and Radio Communications segment’s revenue increased $1.4 million, or 38.0% to $5.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2005 from $3.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2004. The increase primarily relates to increased revenue at our subsidiary, Signature Industries, related to shipments of the G2R pilot locator beacon to fulfill a contract with the government of India.

Gross Profit and Gross Profit Margin

Gross profit for the three month period ended March 31, 2005 was $6.0 million, an increase of $1.5 million, or 32.4%, compared to $4.5 million in the three month period ended March 31, 2004. As a percentage of revenue, the gross profit margin increased to 44.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2005 from 42.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2004.

Gross profit from operations for each operating segment was as follows (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended March 31, 2005		Three Months Ended March 31, 2004
Animal Applications	$	3,414	$	2,806
GPS and Radio Communications	2,581		1,723
Total	$	5,995	$	4,529

	Three Months Ended March 31, 2005 %	Three Months Ended March 31, 2004 %

The Animal Applications segment’s gross profit increased $0.6 million, or 21.7%, in the three month period ended March 31, 2005 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2004. We attribute $0.4 million of the increase to the previously mentioned sales increase and the inclusion of $0.2 million of gross profit from DSD Holdings A/S. DSD Holdings A/S was acquired on February 28, 2005. The gross margin percentage increased to 41.1% in the three month period ended March 31, 2005 as compared to 39.7% in the three month period ended March 31, 2004 due to high margin revenue in the first quarter of 2005 that did not occur in the first quarter of 2004.

The GPS and Radio Communications segment’s gross profit increased $0.9 million, or 49.8%, in the three month period ended March 31, 2005 as compared to the three month period ended March 31, 2004. The gross margin percentage increased to 50.5% in the three month period ended March 31, 2005 as compared to 46.6% in the three month period ended March 31, 2004. The increase in gross profit margin results primarily from higher margins at our Signature Industries, Ltd subsidiary related to shipments of the G2R pilot locator beacon.

As a percentage of revenue, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to 49.8% in the three month period ended March 31, 2005 from 61.3% in the three month period ended March 31, 2004 primarily due to the increase in sales in the current period.

Research and Development Expense

Research and development expense was $1.1 million in the three month period ended March 31, 2005, an increase of $0.4 million, or 62.3%, from $0.7 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2004.

Debt, Covenant Compliance and Liquidity

Invoice Discounting Agreement On April 9, 2003, Signature Industries Ltd. entered into a two-year Invoice Discounting Agreement with The Royal Bank of Scotland Commercial Services Limited (“RBS”).

Receivables which remain outstanding 90 days from the end of the invoice month become ineligible and RBS may require Signature to repurchase the receivable back. The discounting charge accrues daily at an annual rate 2.25% above the base rate, as defined in the amended Invoice Discounting Agreement (7.0% at March 31, 2005). Signature pays a commission charge to RBS of 0.2% of each receivable balance sold. The Invoice Discounting Agreement, as amended, requires a minimum commission charge of £833 per month.

IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (SFAS 123R), which replaces SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” (SFAS 123) and supercedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” SFAS 123R requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values beginning with fiscal years after June 15, 2005, with early adoption encouraged. The pro forma disclosures previously permitted under SFAS 123 no longer will be an alternative to financial statement recognition. The Company is required to adopt SFAS 123R beginning January 1, 2006. Under SFAS 123R, the Company must determine the appropriate fair value model to be used for valuing share-based payments, the amortization method for compensation cost and the transition method to be used at date of adoption. The transition methods include prospective and retroactive adoption options. The Company has begun, but has not completed, evaluating the impact of the adoption of SFAS 123R on its results of operations. In connection with evaluating the impact of SFAS 123R, the Company is considering the potential implementation of different valuation methods to determine the fair value of share-based compensation. The Company believes the adoption of SFAS 123R will have a material impact on our results of operations, regardless of the valuation method used.

In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, “Inventory Costs, an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4.” SFAS No. 151 amends Accounting Research Bulletin (“ARB”) No. 43, Chapter 4, to clarify that abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs and wasted materials (spoilage) should be recognized as current-period charges. In addition, SFAS No. 151 requires that allocation of fixed production overhead to inventory be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. The Company is required to adopt SFAS 151 beginning January 1, 2006. The Company believes the adoption of SFAS 151 will not have a material impact on the results of its operations, financial position or cash flows.

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 it 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. These factors may also affect the trading price of our common stock. You should read this section together with the other information contained herein.

As of March 31, 2005, our majority stockholder, Applied Digital Solutions, owns 55.1% of our common stock, is able to completely control the board of directors and may support actions that conflict with the interests of the other stockholders.

As of March 31, 2005, Applied Digital Solutions is the beneficial owner of 55.1% 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, mergers, acquisitions and other significant corporate transactions. There can be no assurance as to how Applied Digital Solutions may support actions that are contrary to or conflict with the interests of the other stockholders.

New accounting pronouncements may impact our future results of operations.

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123R “Share-Based Payment.” This statement, which will be effective in our first quarter of 2006, will change how we account for share-based compensation, and may have a significant impact on our future results of operations.

We currently account for share-based payments to employees and directors using the intrinsic value method. Under this method, we generally do not recognize any compensation related to stock option grants we issue under our stock option plans.

SFAS 123R will require us to recognize share-based compensation as compensation expense in the statement of operations based on the fair values of such equity on the date of the grant, with the compensation expense recognized over the period in which the recipient is required to provide service in exchange for the equity award. This statement will also require us to adopt a fair value-based method for measuring the compensation expense related to share-based compensation. We have begun, but have not completed, evaluating the impact of the adoption of SFAS 123R on our results of operations. In connection with evaluating the impact of SFAS 123R, we are considering the potential implementation of different valuation methods to determine the fair value of share-based compensation. We believe the adoption of SFAS 123R will have a material impact on our results of operations, regardless of the valuation method used.

We may continue to incur losses.

We incurred a net loss of $0.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2005. We also recorded a net loss of $5.0 million, $9.5 million and $92.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Included in the $92.4 million loss for the year ended December 31, 2002 is a goodwill impairment charge of $57.4 million, an asset impairment charge of $6.4 million, and a $18.7 million charge arising from the remeasurement of options in connection with the 2002 merger between Digital Angel Acquisition Company, which was then a wholly-owned subsidiary of Medical Advisory Systems, and Digital Angel Corporation, which was then a 93% owned subsidiary of Applied Digital Solutions. No assurance can be given as to whether we will achieve profitability, if at all. 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 our business units. If we fail to achieve and maintain sufficient profitability within the time frame expected by investors, the market price of our common stock may be adversely affected.

Infringement by third parties on our intellectual property or development of substantially equivalent proprietary technology by our competitors could negatively affect our business.

Our success depends significantly 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 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. Infringement on our intellectual property or the development of substantially equivalent technology by our competitors could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Domestic and foreign government regulation and other factors could impair our ability to develop and sell our products in certain markets.

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, and slaughterhouse removal of microchips.

We are also subject to federal, state and local regulation in the United States, including regulation by the FDA, FCC and the USDA, and in other countries. We cannot predict the extent to which we may be affected by further legislative and regulatory developments concerning our products and markets. We are required to obtain regulatory approval before marketing most of our products. The regulatory process can be very time-consuming and costly, and there is no assurance that we will receive the regulatory approvals necessary to sell our products under development. Regulatory authorities 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 such regulatory action, including the failure to obtain such approval, could prevent us from selling, or materially impair our ability to sell, our products in certain markets and could negatively affect our business.

We rely heavily on sales to government contractors of our animal identification products, and any decline in the demand by these customers for our products could negatively affect our business.

Certain customers for electronic identification devices for fish are government contractors that rely on funding from the United States government. Since these contractors rely heavily on government funds, any decline in the availability of such funds could result in a decreased demand by these contractors for our products. Any decrease in demand by such customers could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations and result in a decline in the market value of our common stock.

We depend on a single production arrangement with Raytheon Microelectronics Espana, SA for our patented syringe-injectable microchips, and the loss of or any significant reduction in the production could have an adverse effect on our business.

We rely solely on a production arrangement with Raytheon Microelectronics Espana, SA for the manufacture of our patented syringe-injectable microchips that are used in all of our implantable electronic identification products. In addition, we have no formal written agreement with Raytheon for the production of our microchips. Raytheon utilizes our proprietary technology and our equipment in the production of our syringe-injectable microchips. The termination, or any significant reduction, by Raytheon of the assembly of our microchips or a material increase in the price charged by Raytheon for the assembly of our microchips could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, Raytheon may not be able to produce sufficient quantities of the microchips 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 our demand for microchips would require us to utilize an alternative production arrangement and remove our automated assembly production machinery from the Raytheon facility, which would be costly and could delay production. Moreover, if Raytheon terminates our production arrangement, we cannot ensure that the assembly of our microchips from another source would be on comparable or acceptable terms. The failure to make such an alternative production arrangement could have an adverse effect on our business.

We depend on principal customers.

Our four largest customers, in aggregate, accounted for 21.7% of our consolidated revenue in the quarter ended March 31, 2005. Our subsidiary, Signature Industries, Ltd. is heavily dependent on contracts with domestic government agencies and foreign governments, including India and 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.

We compete with other companies in the visual and electronic identification and pilot locator beacon markets, and the products sold by our competitors could become more popular than our products or render our products obsolete.

The market for visual and electronic identification and pilot locator beacon products is highly competitive. We believe that our principal competitors in the visual identification market for livestock are AllFlex USA and Y-Tex Corporation and that our principal competitors in the electronic identification market are AllFlex USA, Datamars SA and Avid Identification Systems, Inc. and that our principal competitors in the pilot locator beacon market are Boeing North American Inc., General Dynamics Decision Systems and Tadiran Spectralink Ltd.

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 us. We may not be able to compete successfully with these competitors, and those competitors may develop or market technologies and products that are more widely accepted than ours or that would render our products obsolete or noncompetitive.

Our earnings will decline if we write off goodwill and other intangible assets.

As of March 31, 2005, we had recorded goodwill of $53.5 million. On January 1, 2002, we adopted SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” SFAS No. 142 requires that goodwill and certain intangibles no longer be amortized but instead be tested for impairment at least annually by applying a fair value based test. During the fourth quarter of 2003, the Company performed the annual impairment test for goodwill using a fair value based approach, primarily discounted cash flows. An evaluation of the Medical Systems reporting unit indicated that $2.4 million of goodwill was impaired. Additionally, management estimated that certain intangible assets at our Medical Systems reporting unit were impaired by $0.6 million. Accordingly, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $3.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2003, which is included in asset impairment in the 2003 statement of operations. During the fourth quarter of 2002, we recorded an impairment charge of $57.4 million for goodwill at our GPS and Radio Communications and Medical Systems reporting units.

We will assess the fair value of our goodwill annually or earlier if events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of our goodwill below its carrying value. These events or circumstances would include a significant change in business climate, including a significant, sustained decline in an entity’s market value, legal factors, operating performance indicators, competition, sale or disposition of a significant portion of the business, or other factors. If we determine that significant impairment has occurred, we would be required to write off the impaired portion of goodwill. Impairment charges could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

The exercise of options and warrants outstanding and available for issuance may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

As of March 31, 2005, we had 9,896,000 options and 605,000 warrants outstanding to purchase from us a total of 10,501,000 shares of common stock at exercise prices ranging from $0.05 to $10.50 per share. In addition, we are requesting our stockholders approve an amendment to one of our stock plans at our May 3, 2005 Annual Meeting which would allow for 2,000,000 additional shares of common stock which may be issued in the future under our stock option plans. The exercise of outstanding options and warrants and the sale in the public market of the shares purchased upon such exercise may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

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

We generate a portion of our sales and incur a portion of our expenses in currencies other than U.S. dollars. To the extent that we are unable to match revenues received in foreign currencies with costs paid in the same currency, exchange rate fluctuations in any such currency could have an adverse effect on our financial results.

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

Our future success will depend in large part 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 materially and adversely affected. In addition, our future success will depend on our ability to identify, attract, hire, train, retain and motivate other highly skilled technical, managerial, marketing, purchasing and customer service personnel when they are needed. Competition for 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.

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.

As of March 31, 2005, we had short term investments of $14.6 million. The short-term investments consist of highly liquid securities between three and twelve months. 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.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Within the 90 days prior to the date of this report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-14 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to the Company (including its consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in the Company’s periodic SEC filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Since the date of their evaluation, there have been no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect the Company’s internal controls.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

On February 25, 2005, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with Applied Digital Solutions. Pursuant to the agreement the Company issued 644,140 shares of its common stock to Applied Digital. The Company received 684,543 shares of Applied Digital common stock as consideration. The value of the stock exchanged was $3.5 million. The Applied Digital common stock received by the Company was used as partial consideration for the acquisition of DSD Holdings A/S and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Daploma International A/S and Digitag A/S.

On March 1, 2004, the Company issued 3,000,000 unregistered shares of its common stock, $0.005 par value, to its majority shareholder, Applied Digital Solutions, Inc. pursuant to a previously announced transaction. The Company exchanged 3,000,000 shares of its common stock, $0.005 par value, for 1,980,000 shares of Applied Digital Solutions, Inc. common stock, $0.01 par value. The shares received from Applied Digital Solutions, Inc. were registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 that was declared effective February 17, 2004. As of December 31, 2004, the Company had sold all of the 1,980,000 shares of Applied Digital common stock for $6.4 million.

During the first quarter 2005, the Company granted restricted stock and options to purchase shares of its common stock totaling 3,671,000 shares to certain employees and its directors.

On March 29, 2005, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the repurchase of up to 1.5 million shares of its common stock over a ninety day period commencing on March 30, 2005. As of March 31, 2005, the Company purchased 50,000 shares for a total of $0.2 million.

Item 5. Other information

During March 2005, the Company’s directors, except for Mr. McGrath, established plans in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the General Rules and Regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, to provide for predetermined sales of a portion of their shares of Company common stock obtainable upon the exercise of stock options, subject to certain contingencies. In addition, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer entered into Rule 10b5-1 trading plans.

Under the Rule 10b5-1 plans, the directors and the Chief Financial Officer will sell varying amounts of Company common stock obtained upon the exercise of stock options at price targets substantially above the current market price of the Company’s common stock. The number of shares to be sold under the plans generally range from 30% to 60% of the respective directors or officer’s outstanding option positions and the applicable price targets are set at $8.05 and higher.

These plans were adopted while the insiders were not in possession of material non-public information and allow the insiders to trade on a predetermined basis, regardless of the receipt of any subsequent material non-public information. Such plans allow insiders to diversify their holdings and to minimize the market impact of stock sales by spreading them out over a period of time. Option exercises and/or stock sales made under the plan will be publicly disclosed in accordance with applicable rules.
