DIGITAL ANGEL CORPORATION
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 for Digital Angel
Corporation. These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with instructions to Form
10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X and, therefore, omit or condense certain footnotes and other
information normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States. In the opinion of the Companys management, all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for fair financial
statement presentation have been made. The results of operations for an interim period may not be
indicative of the results for the year.
The Company
As of March 31, 2007, Applied Digital Solutions, Inc. (Applied Digital) owned 24,573,788
shares or 55.2% of our common stock. We are engaged in the business of developing and bringing to
market proprietary technology used to identify, locate and monitor people, animals, and objects. We
operate in two segments: (1) Animal Applications and (2) GPS and Radio Communications.
Animal Applicationsdevelops, manufactures, and markets electronic radio frequency and visual
identification devices for the companion animal, fish and wildlife, and livestock markets
worldwide.
The Animal Applications segments radio frequency identification products consist of miniature
electronic microchips, scanners, and for some applications, injection systems. We hold patents on
our syringe-injectable microchip, which is encased in a glass or glass-like material capsule and
incorporates an antenna and a microchip with a unique permanent identification code. The microchip
is typically injected under the skin using a hypodermic syringe, without requiring surgery. An
associated scanner device uses radio frequency to interrogate the microchip and read the code.
The Animal Applications segments companion pet identification system involves the insertion
of a microchip with identifying information into the animal. Scanners at animal shelters,
veterinary clinics and other locations can read the microchips unique identification number.
Through the use of a database, the unique identification number identifies the animal, the animals
owner and other information. This pet identification system is marketed in the United States by
Schering-Plough Animal Health Corporation under the brand name Home Again, pursuant to a
multi-year exclusive license, in Europe by Merial Pharmaceutical, and in Japan by Dainippon
Pharmaceutical. We have distribution agreements with a variety of other companies outside the
United States to market our products.
The Animal Applications segments miniature electronic microchips are also used for the
tagging of fish, especially salmon, for identification in migratory studies and other purposes. The
electronic microchips are accepted as a safe, reliable alternative to traditional identification
methods because the fish, once implanted, can be identified without being captured or sacrificed.
In addition to pursuing the market for permanent identification of companion animals and
tracking microchips for fish, the Animal Applications segment also produces visual and electronic
identification products for livestock producers. Visual identification products for livestock are
typically numbered ear tags, which we have marketed since the 1940s. Currently, sales of visual and
electronic identification products represent a substantial percentage of our sales to livestock
producers.
In addition, our implantable radio frequency microchip was cleared by the FDA for medical
applications in humans in the United States in October 2004. We have a long-term exclusive
distribution and licensing agreement with VeriChip Corporation, (VeriChip), an affiliated,
majority-owned subsidiary of Applied Digital, our parent company, covering the manufacturing,
purchasing, and distribution of the human implantable microchip. Sales to VeriChip were $4,000, and
$160,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
7
GPS and Radio Communicationsdesigns, manufactures and supports GPS enabled equipment. The
GPS and Radio Communications segment consists of our subsidiaries, Signature Industries Limited,
(Signature), (90.9% owned), which is located in the United Kingdom and OuterLink Corporation,
which is located in Massachusetts. Applications for the segments products include location
tracking and message monitoring of vehicles, aircraft and people in remote locations through
systems that integrate 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. Signatures businesses also
include communication equipment leasing and complementary data systems that customers can use to
locate and monitor their assets and alarm sounder manufacturing. 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 April 5, 2007, we acquired certain assets and customer contracts of McMurdo Limited
(McMurdo), a United Kingdom based subsidiary of Chemring Group Plc and manufacturer of emergency
location beacons. Pursuant to the agreement, Signature, our London based subsidiary operating in
the GPS and Radio Communication business segment, acquired certain assets of McMurdos marine
electronics business, including fixed assets, inventory, customer lists, customer and supplier
contracts and relations, trade and business names, and associated assets.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Described below are significant accounting policies, which conform to accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States and, except for recently issued accounting standards
adopted, are applied on a consistent basis among all years presented.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of our company and our wholly-owned
and majority-owned subsidiaries from the date of acquisition. All significant intercompany accounts
and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that
affect the amounts and disclosures included in the financial statements and accompanying notes.
Although these estimates are based on the knowledge of current events and actions that we may
undertake in the future, they may ultimately differ from actual results. We use estimates, among
others, to determine whether any impairment is to be recognized to long-lived and intangible
assets.
Foreign Currencies
Our foreign subsidiaries functional currencies are their local currencies. Results of
operations and cash flows are translated into U.S. dollars at average exchange rates prevailing
throughout the period, and assets and liabilities are translated at end of period exchange rates.
Translation adjustments resulting from this process are included in accumulated other comprehensive
income (loss) which is a component of stockholders equity. Translation gains and losses that arise
from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional
currency are included in the results of operations as incurred.
Inventories
Inventories consist of raw materials, work in process, and finished goods. Inventory is valued
at the lower of cost or market, determined by the first-in, first-out method. We closely monitor
and analyze inventory for potential obsolescence and slow-moving items based upon the aging of the
inventory and inventory turns by product. Inventory items designated as obsolete or slow-moving are
reduced to net realizable value.
Goodwill
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142, Goodwill and
Other Intangible Assets, (SFAS 142), we test goodwill for impairment at least annually by
applying a fair value based test.
8
In accordance with SFAS 142, we are required to allocate goodwill to the various reporting
units. As of March 31, 2007, our reporting units consisted of the following (the reporting units
listed below are those businesses which have goodwill and for which discrete financial
information is available and upon which management makes operating decisions):
|
|
|
Animal Applications (goodwill of $44.0 million as of March 31, 2007); |
|
|
|
|
Signature (goodwill of $1.1 million as of March 31, 2007); and |
|
|
|
|
DSD Holdings A/S (goodwill of $6.1 million as of March 31, 2007). |
We 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 entitys 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.
Deferred Financing Costs
Deferred financing costs relate to the 10.25% senior secured debenture and revolving invoice
funding facility. These costs are being amortized to interest expense over the respective
instruments terms.
Revenue Recognition
Except for our subsidiary OuterLink Corporation, we recognize product revenue at the time a
product is shipped and title has transferred, provided (1) that a purchase order has been received
or a contract has been executed, (2) there are no uncertainties regarding customer acceptance, (3)
the sales price is fixed and determinable and (4) 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. Our accounting policy regarding vendor and post contract support obligations provides
that revenue is recognized upon occurrence of the post-sale support. Costs of products sold and
services provided are recorded as the related revenue is recognized. We offer a warranty on our
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 our policy to record contract losses in their entirety in the period in which such
losses are foreseeable.
Our subsidiary, OuterLink Corporation, earns revenue from location and 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 Corporations services are only
available through use of its products; such products have no alternative use. Accordingly, service
revenue is recognized as the services are performed. OuterLink Corporations product revenue, for
which title and risk of loss transfers to the customer upon shipment, is deferred upon shipment and
is recognized ratably over the estimated customer service period of 54 months in the three month
period March 31, 2007 and 42 months in the three month period March 31, 2006.
We record a liability for product warranties at the time it is probable that a warranty
liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can reasonably be estimated. Our warranty
liability was $144,000 as of March 31, 2007. The following is a reconciliation of our product

Income Taxes
We account for income taxes under the asset and liability approach. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences attributed to differences
between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their
respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates
expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected
to reverse. A valuation allowance is provided against net deferred tax assets when it is not more
likely than not that a tax benefit will be realized. Income taxes include U.S. and foreign taxes.
Effective January 1, 2007, we adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainties in
Income Taxes (FIN 48). The impact upon adoption was immaterial to our results of our operation
and our financial position and, therefore, no FIN 48 liability was recorded. Also, we did not
record any liability for income tax-related interest and penalties. We intend to classify any
future expense for income tax-related interest and penalties as a component of income taxes.
We file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state and foreign
jurisdictions. In general, we are no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or non-U.S.
income tax examinations for years before 2003. We do not currently have any examinations ongoing.
Stock-Based Compensation
On January 1, 2006, we adopted SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (SFAS
123R). SFAS 123R replaced SFAS No. 123 and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25. 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.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In September 2006, FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157), which
defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted
accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This statement is
effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and
interim periods within those fiscal years. Earlier application is encouraged provided that the
reporting entity has not yet issued financial statements for that fiscal year including financial
statements for an interim period within that fiscal year. We are assessing SFAS 157 and have not
yet determined the impact that the adoption of SFAS 157 will have on our results of operations or
financial position.
In September 2006, FASB issued SFAS No. 158, Employers Accounting for Defined Benefit
Pension and Other Postretirement Plansan amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and
132(R), (SFAS 158), which requires employers to: (a) recognize in its statement of financial
position an asset for a plans overfunded status or a liability for a plans underfunded status;
(b) measure a plans assets and its obligations that determine its funded status as of the end of
the employers fiscal year; and (c) recognize changes in the funded status of a defined benefit
postretirement plan in the year in which the changes occur. Those changes will be reported in
comprehensive income of a business entity. The requirement to recognize the funded status of a
benefit plan and the disclosure requirements are effective as of the end of the fiscal year ending
after December 15, 2006, for entities with publicly traded equity securities. The requirement to
measure plan assets and benefit obligations as of the date of the employers fiscal year-end
statement of financial position is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. We
have determined that the adoption of SFAS 158 will not have a material affect on our consolidated
financial position, results of operations, cash flows or financial statement disclosures.
In February 2007, FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and
Financial Liabilities- including an amendment of FASB Statement 115,(SFAS 159). This statement
provides companies with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair
value. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 with early
adoption permitted. We are assessing SFAS 159 and have not yet determined the impact that the
adoption of SFAS 159 will have on our results of operations or financial position.
2. Legal Proceedings
Digital Angel Corporation v. Datamars, Inc., Datamars, S.A., The Crystal Import Corporation
and Medical Management International, Inc.
10
On October 20, 2004, we commenced an action in the United States District Court for the
District of Minnesota against Datamars, Inc., Datamars, S.A., The Crystal Import Corporation,
(Crystal), and Medical Management International, Inc. This suit claims that the defendants are
marketing and selling syringe implantable identification transponders manufactured by Datamars that
infringe our 1993 patent for syringe implantable identification transponders previously found by
the United States District Court for the District of Colorado to be enforceable. The suit seeks,
among other things, an adjudication of infringement, injunctive relief, and actual and punitive
damages. We believe that the suit is well-grounded in law and fact. On February 28, 2006, the
Court conducted a hearing (the Markman Hearing) in which each of the parties presented the Court
with their views regarding the scope of the claims set forth in the subject patent. On May 22,
2006, the Court issued its order on the Markman Hearing, largely adopting our views on the scope of
the claims in the subject patent. The parties are continuing discovery in light of that order.
Trial is anticipated in mid to late 2007.
The Crystal Import Corporation v. Digital Angel, et al.
On or about December 29, 2004, Crystal filed an action against AVID Identification Systems,
Inc. and us in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Alabama. Crystals
complaint primarily asserted federal and state antitrust and related claims against AVID, though it
also asserted similar claims against us. On October 12, 2005, the Alabama Court transferred the
action to Minnesota. Following the docketing of the action in Minnesota, we and AVID filed a motion
seeking to stay the case until the corresponding patent infringement actions have been resolved.
The Court recently lifted a stay of the matter and discovery is expected to commence in the near
future. Given the uncertainties associated with all litigation and given the early stage of this
proceeding, we are unable to offer any assessment on the potential liability exposure, if any, to
us from this lawsuit.
Digital Angel Corporation v. Corporativo SCM, S.A. de C.V.
On or about June 2, 2005, we filed a declaratory judgment action in the U.S. District Court
for the District of Minnesota seeking to have the Court determine our rights and liabilities under
a 2002 distribution agreement with Corporativo SCM, S.A. de C.V., a Mexican company that entered
into a distribution agreement for a product that was then under development by us but the
development of which was subsequently abandoned. Since filing the declaratory judgment action, we
have entered into a settlement agreement and the Court dismissed the case on May 1, 2007.
3. Financing Arrangements
10.25% Senior Secured Debenture
On February 6, 2007, we entered into a securities purchase agreement pursuant to which we sold
a 10.25% senior secured debenture (debenture) in the original principal amount of $6,000,000 and
a five-year warrant to purchase 699,600 shares of our common stock at a per share exercise price of
$2.973.
The warrant contains certain anti-dilution provisions and accordingly we have accounted for
the fair value of the warrant as a derivative liability (warrant derivative liability) subject to
SFAS No. 133. The fair value of the warrant issued, as calculated using the Black-Scholes pricing
model, is $1,253,000 using the following assumptions: volatility of 83.13%, risk free interest rate
of 4.6% and expected life of 5 years and is accounted for as a discount to the debenture and is
being amortized to interest expense over the life of the debenture. The warrant fair value will be
revalued at each balance sheet date using the Black-Scholes pricing model with changes in value
recorded in the statement of operations as income or expense. At March 31, 2007, the warrant
derivative fair value was $853,000 and the reduction in value of $400,000 is included in the
statement of operations.
The debenture matures on February 6, 2010, but we may, at our option, prepay the debenture in
cash at any time by paying a premium of 2% of the outstanding principal amount of the debenture. We
are obligated to make monthly payments of principal plus accrued but unpaid interest (including
default interest, if any) beginning on September 4, 2007.
The debenture is not convertible by the holder(s). However, we may, at our option but not
obligation, decide to make one or more monthly payments of principal and interest with shares of
our common stock instead of with cash. Our decision to make a monthly payment with cash or with
shares of common stock, or a combination of both will be determined on a monthly basis. Currently,
we anticipate making monthly payments with cash. If we choose to make a monthly payment with our
shares, the shares will be issued at an 8% discount to the then current market price of the shares.
11
As long as the debenture is outstanding we and our subsidiary, Signature, are required to
comply with certain financial covenants including minimum net tangible asset ratios and limits on
the total amount of liabilities that exist at each entity and on a combined basis. As of March 31,
2007, we were in breach of certain of these covenants due primarily to the fact that we did not
close the McMurdo acquisition until April 5, 2007 and the classification of certain of our leases
as capital leases. The lenders granted us a waiver with respect to these breaches and we have
amended the agreement to modify the affected covenant. In addition, we have agreed to restructure
certain terms of the transaction prior to June 7, 2007. A breach of any of these covenants, after
notice from the lender and if not remedied within the specified period, could result in an event of
default. Upon the occurrence of any default, other than an event of default arising from our
breach of the covenant to restructure certain terms of the transaction, our debenture lenders can elect to
declare all amounts of principal outstanding under such debenture, together with all accrued
interest, to be immediately due and payable. Furthermore, if such an event of default or a change
of control occurs, the holder(s) has the right to require us to redeem the debenture for a cash
amount equal to 110% of the outstanding principal plus interest. Upon the occurrence of an event
of default arising from our breach of the covenant to restructure certain terms of the transaction,
the sole remedy of the lenders would be the increase of interest rate accrued on the debenture to
15.25%.

On March 23, 2007, we entered into a revolving invoice funding facility with Greater Bay
Business Funding, a division of Greater Bay Bank N.A (Greater Bay). The agreement provides that
we sell and assign to Greater Bay, all rights, title, and interest in the accounts receivable of
Digital Angel Technology Corporation and OuterLink Corporation. Under the agreement, Greater Bay
advances 80% of the eligible receivables, as defined, not to exceed a maximum of $5,000,000 at any
given time. Greater Bay pays the remainder of the receivable upon collection. Interest is payable
on the daily outstanding balance of funds drawn and is equal to the Greater Bay Bank prime rate
(8.25% at March 31, 2007) plus 3.00%. The facility has an initial term of (12) months and is
guaranteed by security interests covering all accounts, contract rights, and general intangibles
relating to our accounts receivable. As of March 31, 2007, $4.0 million of receivables were
financed under the invoice funding facility.
On April 9, 2003, Signature Industries Limited entered into a two-year Invoice Discounting
Agreement with The Royal Bank of Scotland Commercial Services Limited (RBS). The Invoice
Discounting Agreement, as amended October 28, 2003, June 21, 2005, and July 27, 2006 provides for
Signature to sell with full title guarantee most of its receivables, as defined in the Invoice
Discounting Agreement, as amended. Under the agreement, RBS prepays 80% of the receivables sold in
the United Kingdom and 80% of the receivables sold in the rest of the world, not to exceed an
outstanding balance of £1,000,000 (approximately $2.0 million at March 31, 2007) at any given time.
RBS pays Signature the remainder of the receivable upon collection of the receivable. Receivables
which remain outstanding 90 days from the end of the invoice month become ineligible and RBS may
require Signature to repurchase the receivable. The discounting charge accrues at an annual rate of
1.5% above the base rate as defined in the amended Invoice Discounting Agreement (5.25% at March
31, 2007). Signature pays a commission charge to RBS of 0.16% of each receivable balance sold. The
Invoice Discounting Agreement, as amended, requires a minimum commission charge of £833
(approximately $1,600) per month. Discounting charges of $24,000 are included in interest expense
in the 2007 statement of operations. As of March 31, 2007, $1.3 million of receivables were
financed under the Invoice Discounting Agreement.

6. Stock Options and Restricted Stock
Stock Option Plans
As of March 31, 2007, we maintain the Amended and Restated Digital Angel Corporation
Transition Stock Option Plan (DAC Stock Option Plan), which is described below, and has
outstanding stock options which were issued pursuant to another plan that was terminated on
February 23, 2006. On January 1, 2006, we adopted SFAS 123R, using the modified prospective
transition method. Accordingly, during the three month period ended March 31, 2006, we recorded
stock-based compensation expense for awards granted in 2006 and awards granted prior to, but not
yet vested as if the fair value method required for pro forma disclosure under SFAS 123 were in
effect for expense recognition purposes. Upon adoption of SFAS 123R, we elected to continue using
the Black-Scholes option pricing and we have recognized compensation expense using a straight-line
amortization method. During the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, we recorded $291,000
and $151,000, respectively (this amount includes compensation for options granted to non-employees
and for restricted stock grants), in stock-based employee compensation expense.
As of March 31, 2007, the DAC Stock Option Plan, which is stockholder-approved, has 18,195,312
shares of common stock reserved for issuance, of which 17,641,516 shares have been issued and
553,796 remain available for issuance. As of March 31, 2007, awards consisting of options to
purchase 9,643,196 shares were outstanding under the DAC Stock Option Plan and awards consisting of
options to purchase 476,820 shares were outstanding under the Companys terminated stock option
plan. Additionally, restricted stock awards for 154,230 shares of common stock have been granted
under the DAC Stock Option Plan. Option awards are generally granted with exercise prices between
market price and 110% of the market price of the Companys stock at the date of grant; option
awards generally vest over 3 to 9 years and have 10-year contractual terms. Certain option and
share awards provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control (as defined in the DAC
Stock Option Plan).
Stock Option Activity
The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes
valuation model. The following assumptions were used for options granted during the three month
period ended March 31, 2007 and 2006.

As of March 31, 2007, there was $4,891,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to
nonvested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the DAC Stock Option Plan. That cost
is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 5.63 years.
Cash received from option exercise under all share-based payment arrangements for the three
month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, was $0 and $498,000, respectively.
On
January 13, 2004, we granted to our Chief Executive Officer (CEO) a ten-year option
to purchase 1,000,000 shares of our common stock at $3.92 per share. This option was
granted outside of our stock plans and approved by our shareholders on May 6,
2004. The option became exercisable on December 30, 2005. As of March 31, 2007, the option remains
outstanding.
On
February 18, 2004, we granted to our Chairman of the Board of Directors a ten-year
option to purchase 500,000 shares of our common stock at $3.43 per share. This option was
granted outside of our stock plans and approved by our shareholders on May 6,
2004. The option became exercisable on February 18, 2005. As of March 31, 2007, the option remains
outstanding.
Restricted Stock
In
March 2005, we granted to our Chairman of the Board 100,000 shares of our restricted stock.
The restricted stock vested 50% on March 7, 2006 and 50% on March 7, 2007.
We determined the value of the stock to be
$506,000 based on the closing price of our stock on the date of grant. The value of the restricted stock was recorded as deferred
compensation and was amortized to compensation expense over the two year vesting period. In the
three month period ended March 31, 2007, $42,000 was recognized as compensation expense in
our results of operations.
14
In February 2005, we granted an employee 54,230 shares of our restricted stock. The restricted
stock vested 30% on February 25, 2006, 30% on February 25, 2007 and will vest 40% on February 25,
2008. We determined the value of the stock to be $250,000 based on the closing price of our stock
on the date of grant. The value of the restricted stock has been recorded as deferred compensation
and is being amortized to compensation expense over the vesting period. In the three month period
ended March 31, 2007, $21,000 was recognized as compensation expense in our results of operations.

9. Related Party Activity
We have
a Distribution and Licensing Agreement dated March 4, 2002, amended
December 28, 2005 and May 9, 2007, with VeriChip, a majority-owned subsidiary of Applied Digital at
March 31, 2007, covering the manufacturing, purchasing and distribution of our implantable
microchip and the maintenance of the VeriChip Registry by us. The amended agreement contains, among
other things, minimum purchase requirements in order to maintain exclusivity, whereby VeriChip is
required to purchase $0, $875,000, $1,750,000 and $2,500,000 for each of 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010,
respectively, and $3,750,000 for 2011 and each year thereafter. The agreement continues until March
2014 and, as long as VeriChip continues to meet the minimum purchase requirements, will
automatically renew annually under its terms. The Distribution and Licensing agreement includes a
license for the use of our technology in VeriChips identified markets. Under the Distribution and
Licensing Agreement, we are the sole manufacturer and supplier to VeriChip. The existing terms with
our sole supplier of implantable microchips, Raytheon Microelectronics España, SA, expire on June
30, 2010.
Revenue recognized under the Distribution and Licensing Agreement was $4,000 and $160,000 for
the three months ended March 31, 2007, and 2006, respectively. Amounts due from VeriChip as of
March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006 were $151,000 and $425,000, respectively.
10. Subsequent Events
On December 14, 2006, Signature, our London based subsidiary, entered into an Asset Sale and
Purchase Agreement (the Agreement) with McMurdo, a United Kingdom based subsidiary of Chemring
Group Plc (Chemring). McMurdo is a manufacturer of emergency location beacons. Pursuant to the
Agreement, Signature agreed to acquire certain assets and customer contracts of McMurdos marine
electronics business including fixed assets, inventory, customer lists, customer and supplier
contracts and relations, trade and business names, and associated assets. The assets excluded
certain accrued liabilities and obligations and real property, including the plant facility which
Signature has a license to occupy for a period of nine months from the Completion Date (as defined
in the Agreement). Under the terms of the Agreement, Signature was to retain McMurdos employees
related to the marine electronics business. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Agreement,
we guaranteed to McMurdo, Signatures obligations and liabilities to McMurdo under the Guaranteed
Agreements (as defined in the Agreement) and Chemring guaranteed to Signature, McMurdos
obligations and liabilities under the Guaranteed Agreements. On April 5, 2007, we closed the
purchase of the assets pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and paid initial consideration of
approximately $5.7 million in cash. In addition, we will make one additional deferred payment of
up to $3.0 million. The deferred payment will be determined on a threshold basis with a minimum
threshold, calculated on the basis of the invoiced value of specific products sold between November
1, 2006 and October 31, 2007 and payable when the parties finalize a statement of the sales.
On May 7, 2007, we entered into an agreement with Newcomb Communications, Inc (the Buyer).
to sell all of our equity interests in OuterLink Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of ours for
an aggregate consideration of $1.0 million, subject to certain adjustments based on OuterLinks
closing balance sheet. OuterLink provides satellite-based mobile asset tracking and data messaging
systems used to manage the deployment of aircraft and land vehicles. The Buyers obligation to
consummate the transaction is subject to certain closing conditions, including regulatory approval,
a financing contingency (which expires on May 21, 2007), non-occurrence of a material adverse
change at OuterLink, and the execution by us of an agreement to not-compete with OuterLink for a
period of one year and other customary closing conditions. Our obligation to consummate the
transaction is subject to receiving a release from our lender under the 10.25% debenture and other
customary closing conditions. The parties expect the transaction to close prior to July 3, 2007.

Item 2. Managements 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 Digital Angel Corporation and our subsidiaries Digital Angel Technology
Corporation (DATC), Fearing Manufacturing, Inc., Timely Technology Corp., Signature Industries
Limited, (Signature), (90.9% owned subsidiary), OuterLink Corporation, DSD Holdings A/S and its
subsidiaries Daploma International A/S (including its 70% owned subsidiary, Daploma Polska) and
Digitag A/S, Digital Angel Holdings, LLC and Digital Angel International, Inc. and its subsidiaries
Digital Angel S.A. and Digital Angel do Brasil Produtos de Informatica LTDA, Digital Angel Chile
S.A., Digital Angel Paraguay S.A. and Digital Angel Uruguay S.A.
Overview
We develop and deploy sensor and communication technologies that enable rapid and accurate
identification, location tracking, and condition monitoring of high value assets. We operate in two
segments: (1) Animal Applications and (2) GPS and Radio Communications.
Animal Applications Develops, manufactures and markets visual and electronic identification
tags and RFID microchips, primarily for identification, tracking and location of companion pets,
horses, livestock, fish and wildlife worldwide, and, more recently, for animal bio-sensing
applications, such as temperature reading for companion pet, horse and livestock applications. The
Animal Applications segment consists of our operations located in Minnesota, DSD Holdings A/S and
its wholly and majority-owned subsidiaries, located in Denmark and Poland, and Digital Angel
International, Inc. and its subsidiaries located in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay and Uruguay.
The positive identification and tracking of livestock and fish are crucial for asset management and
for disease control and food safety. In addition to the visual ear tags which have been sold by us
since the late 1940s, Animal Applications utilizes RFID technologies in its electronic ear tags
and implantable microchips.
GPS and Radio Communications Designs, manufactures, and markets GPS enabled equipment used
for location tracking and message monitoring of vehicles, aircraft and people in remote locations.
The GPS and Radio Communications segment consists of our subsidiaries, Signature, (90.9% owned),
located in the United Kingdom and OuterLink Corporation located in Massachusetts. Our focus is in
the areas of search and rescue and locator beacons, and tracking systems, which include mobile
satellite data communications service and software for mapping and messaging for a variety of
industries including the military, air and ground ambulance operators, law enforcement agencies and
energy companies.
Our Animal Applications segments revenue decreased to $10.3 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2007 compared to $11.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006. The
decrease in the Animal Applications segments revenue was principally due to a decrease in
electronic identification and visual product sales to livestock customers of $0.8 million, a
decrease in sales to fish and wildlife customers of $0.5 million and a decrease in sales to
VeriChip Corporation, (VeriChip), of $0.1 million. These decreases were partially offset by an
increase in microchip sales to companion animal customers of $0.1 million and visual product sales
to livestock customers in South America of $0.1 million. In April 2006, we were awarded a U.S.
patent for our Bio-Thermo temperature sensing implantable RFID microchip designed for
non-laboratory applications that use RFID technology to determine the body temperature of its host
animal.
Our GPS and Radio Communications segments revenue increased to $5.7 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2007 compared to $4.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006. The
increase in our GPS and Radio Communication segments revenue was principally due to increased
revenue of our subsidiary Signature Industries of $1.2 million and of our subsidiary, OuterLink
Corporation, of $0.2 million. The increase at Signature Industries relates to an increase in sales
of Signatures SARBE products of $0.6 million, an increase in sales of alarm products of $0.3
million and an increase in sales at Signatures Radio Hire division of $0.3 million. The increase
in revenue at OuterLink Corporation relates primarily to the contract with the South Carolina
National Guard to provide a satellite-based automatic flight following system. During 2007 and
2008, we anticipate that our GPS and Radio Communications segments revenue will increase from the
2006 levels as the market for our beacons expands. In addition, the URT33 beacon, which will become
obsolete when existing frequencies on 121.5 and 243 MHz cease to be monitored by
COSPAS-SARSAT on February 1, 2009, will need to be replaced with the new generation 406 MHz
beacons, such as our SARBE G2R.
17
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based
upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements
requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets,
liabilities, revenues and expenses. On an on-going basis, we evaluate these estimates, including
those related to inventory obsolescence, goodwill, intangibles and other long-lived assets and
income taxes. We base these estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions
that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for
making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent
from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or
conditions. We believe the following critical accounting policies reflect our more significant
estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the financial statements.
Goodwill, Intangibles and Other Long-Lived Assets
Goodwill and other intangible assets are carried at cost net of accumulated amortization. On
January 1, 2002, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142, Goodwill
and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS142). SFAS 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. There was no impairment of goodwill upon the adoption of SFAS 142 on January 1,
2002.
In accordance with SFAS 142, we are required to allocate goodwill to the various reporting
units. As of March 31, 2007, the reporting units consisted of the following (the reporting units
listed below are those businesses which have goodwill and for which discrete financial information
is available and upon which management makes operating decisions):
|
|
|
Animal Applications (goodwill of $44.0 million as of March 31, 2007); |
|
|
|
|
Signature (goodwill of $1.1 million as of March 31, 2007); and |
|
|
|
|
DSD Holdings A/S (goodwill of $6.1 million as of March 31, 2007). |
Since the adoption of SFAS 142 on January 1, 2002, we evaluate the goodwill of the various
reporting units as of each December 31st. Our management compiled the cash flow
forecasts, growth rates, gross margin, fixed and variable cost structure, depreciation and
amortization expenses, corporate overhead, tax rates, and capital expenditures, among other data
and assumptions related to the financial projections upon which the fair value is based. The
methodology, including residual or terminal enterprise values, was based on the following factors:
risk free rate of 20 years; current leverage (E/V); leveraged beta Bloomberg; unleveraged beta;
risk premium; cost of equity; after-tax cost of debt; and weighted average cost of capital. These
variables generated a discount rate calculation.
The assumptions used in the determination of fair value using discounted cash flows were as
follows:
|
|
|
Cash flows were generated for 5 years based on the expected recovery period for the goodwill; |
|
|
|
|
Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization as the measure of cash flow; and |
|
|
|
|
Discount rates ranging from 16.5% to 26.0%. The discount rate used by us was the rate of return
expected from the market or the rate of return expected for a similar investment with similar risks. |
We performed a company comparable analysis utilizing financial and market information on
publicly traded companies that are considered to be generally comparable to our reporting units.
Each analysis provided a benchmark for determining the terminal values for each business unit to be
utilized in its discounted cash flow analysis. The analysis generated a multiple for each reporting
unit, which was incorporated into the appropriate business units discounted cash flow model.
The determination of goodwill impairment involves the use of estimates and assumptions, which
may be difficult to accurately measure or value. Actual and estimated future results may be less
than projected at the date of the most recent valuation.
We 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 entitys 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. There was no impairment of goodwill for the
three months ended March 31, 2007.
18
Property, plant and equipment and definite-lived intangible assets are depreciated or
amortized over their useful lives. Useful lives are based on managements estimates of the period
that the assets will generate revenue. Long-lived assets are evaluated for impairment whenever
events and circumstances indicate an asset may be impaired. There were no write downs of any
long-lived assets for the three months ended March 31, 2007, or in the twelve months ended December
31, 2006.
Inventories
Estimates are used in determining the likelihood that inventory on hand can be sold.
Historical inventory usage and current revenue trends are considered in estimating both
obsolescence and slow-moving inventory. Inventory is stated at lower of cost or market, determined
by the first-in, first-out method, net of any reserve for obsolete or slow-moving inventory.
Deferred Taxes
We record a valuation allowance to reduce our deferred tax assets to the amount that is more
likely than not to be realized. While we have considered future taxable income and tax planning
strategies in assessing the need for the valuation allowance, in the event we were to subsequently
determine that we would be able to realize our deferred tax assets in the future in excess of our
net recorded amount, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset would increase income in the period
such determination was made. Similarly, should we determine that we would not be able to realize
all or part of our deferred tax assets in the future, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset would
reduce income in the period such determination was made.
Revenue Recognition
Except for our subsidiary OuterLink Corporation, we recognize product revenue at the time the
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. Our 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. We offer a warranty on our
products. For non-fixed fee 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 the service or goods are
provided. It is our policy to record contract losses in their entirety in the period in which such
losses are foreseeable.
Our subsidiary, OuterLink Corporation, earns revenue from location and 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 Corporations services are only
available through use of its products; such products have no alternative use. Accordingly, service
revenue is recognized as the services are performed. OuterLink Corporations product revenue, for
which title and risk of loss transfers to the customer upon shipment, is deferred upon shipment and
is recognized ratably over the estimated customer service period of 54 months in the three month
period March 31, 2007 and 42 months in the three month period March 31, 2006.

The Animal Applications segments revenue decreased approximately $1.2 million, or 10.8%, for
the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2006. The
decrease in revenue was principally due to a decrease in electronic identification and visual
product sales to livestock customers of $0.8 million, a decrease in sales to fish and wildlife
customers of $0.5 million, and a decrease in sales to VeriChip of $0.1 million. These decreases
were partially offset by an increase in microchip sales to companion animal customers of $0.1
million and visual product sales to livestock customers in South America of $0.1 million.
The GPS and Radio Communications segments revenue increased approximately $1.4 million, or
32.8%, in the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to the three months ended March 31,
2006. The increase primarily relates to increased revenue of our subsidiary, Signature of $1.2
million and of our subsidiary, OuterLink Corporation, of $0.2 million. The increase at Signature,
relates to an increase in sales of Signatures SARBE products of $0.6 million, an increase in sales
of alarm products of $0.3 million and an increase in sales at Signatures Radio Hire division of
$0.3 million. The increase in revenue at OuterLink Corporation relates primarily to the contract
with the South Carolina National Guard to provide a satellite-based automatic flight following
system.

Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2007 was $5.9 million, a decrease of
approximately $0.9 million, from $6.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006. As a
percentage of revenue, the gross profit margin decreased to 36.8% for the three months ended March
31, 2007 from 42.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2006.

The Animal Applications segments gross profit of $3.0 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2007 decreased approximately $1.7 million compared to $4.7 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2006. The decrease in gross profit margin relates to decreased sales in the current
period and a decrease in gross profit margin as a percentage of revenue to 29.0% for the three
months ended March 31, 2007 from 40.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2006. We attribute the
decrease in gross profit margin as a percentage of revenue to a decrease in high margin engineering
service revenue, a decrease in the average sales price for companion pet product shipped in the
United States, higher material costs associated with fulfilling demand for companion pet product in
the United States, warranty costs for e-tags shipped to Canada and increased overhead costs
associated with the startup of molding operations in our St. Paul facility.
The GPS and Radio Communications segments gross profit of $2.9 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2007 increased approximately $0.8 million compared to $2.1 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2006. Gross profit margin increased to 50.9% in 2007 from 49.2% in 2006. The
increase in gross profit margin relates to increased sales in the current period and the increase
in gross profit margin as a percentage of revenue is due primarily to lower material costs as a
percentage of revenue at Signature.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $1.6 million, or 25.6%, for the three
months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2006. As a percentage
of revenue, selling, general and administrative expenses were 48.9% and 39.4% for the three months
ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

The Animal Applications segments selling, general and administrative expenses increased
approximately $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 to $5.0 million compared to
$4.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006. The increase in selling, general and
administrative expenses relate primarily to legal expenses of $0.8 million related to the
maintenance and protection of the Companys intellectual property, $0.1 million of stock-based
compensation expense and increased selling, general and administrative expenses in our South
American subsidiaries of $0.1 million. As a percentage of revenue, selling, general and
administrative expenses increased to 48.7% from 34.4% in the same respective period. The increase
in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue resulted from the
increase in expenses and decrease in sales in the current period.

increased approximately $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 to $2.8 million as
compared to $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006, due primarily to increased
selling, general and administrative expenses at our subsidiary, Signature. As a percentage of
revenue, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to 49.2% from 52.8% in the same
respective period. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percent of
revenue is due to the increase in sales in the current period.

The Animal Applications segments research and development expenses decreased approximately
$0.2 million to $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to $0.8 million
for the three months ended March 31, 2006. The research and development expenses primarily consists
of new product development related to RFID microchips and associated scanners.
The GPS and Radio Communications segments research and development expenses were
approximately $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007, an increase of approximately
$0.7 million when compared to approximately $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006.
The increase relates primarily to the development of the 406.6MHz product family at our subsidiary
Signature.
Interest Expense
Interest expense was $324,000 and $95,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006,
respectively. The increase in interest expense relates primarily to interest, discount amortization
and deferred debt cost amortization associated with our 10.25% senior secured debenture.
Derivative Warrant Liability
Income from the reduction in the derivative warrant liability was $400,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 2007. This reduction is attributed to the change in the fair value of the
warrant liability associated with the 699,600 share warrant issued with the 10.25% senior secured
debenture.
Income Taxes
We had income tax expense of $25,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 versus an
income tax benefit of $84,000 in the same period of 2006. We account for income taxes under the
asset and liability approach. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected
future tax consequences attributed to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts
of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the
years in which those temporary differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is
provided against net deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will
not be realized.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal use of liquidity is for operating cash requirements, capital needs, and
acquisitions. Our source of liquidity has been from operating cash flow and proceeds from
investing and financing activities. We expect to generate cash from operations and from financing
activities in amounts sufficient to fund the operations of our business over the next twelve
months.
Cash Flows
As of March 31, 2007, cash totaled $8.6 million as compared to $1.5 million at December 31,
2006. During 2007, $2.5 million of net cash was provided by operating activities, compared to net
cash used in operating activities of $1.4 million in 2006. In 2007, the cash provided by operating
activities was due primarily to a decrease in accounts receivable of $3.6 million as a result of
selling invoices under our revolving invoice funding facility and an increase in accounts payable,
accrued expenses and deferred revenue of $1.9 million partially offset by use of cash of $0.4
million to purchase inventory. Non-cash charges of $0.3 million for equity based compensation and
$0.5 million for depreciation and amortization along with income of $0.4 million for a reduction in
derivative warrant liability were included in the 2007 net loss of $3.5 million.
22
Net cash used in investing activities totaled $0.7 million in 2007 compared to net cash used
in investing activities of $0.3 million in 2006. The principal uses of cash from investing
activities in 2007 and 2006 were property, plant and equipment expenditures of $0.6 million and
$0.4 million, respectively.
Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $5.1 million in 2007 compared to net cash
provided by financing activities of $0.4 million in 2006. In 2007, cash provided by financing
activities consisted of proceeds of $6.0 million from the issuance of the 10.25% senior secured
debenture partially offset by payments on notes payable and long-term debt of $0.3 million and
payments for financing costs of $0.6 million. In 2006, cash provided by financing activities
consisted of proceeds from the exercise of options and warrants of $0.5 million partially offset by
payments on notes payable and long-term debt of $0.2 million.
Financing and Liquidity
In 2007, we generated approximately $7.0 million in cash and increased our total amount of
debt from $8.2 million as of December 31, 2006 to $14.1 million as of March 31, 2007. The primary
reason for the increase in debt relates to the issuance of our 10.25% senior secured debenture in
February 2007. The $14.1 million of debt outstanding at March 31, 2007 is comprised of the

Equipment Loans-DSD Holdings. DSD Holdings is party to equipment loans which are
collateralized by production equipment. Principal and interest payments totaling approximately DKK
0.5 million ($79,300 at March 31, 2007) are payable monthly. Payments are due through July 2010.
The interest rate on the loans is variable and range from 6.00% to 8.14% as of March 31, 2007.
Line of Credit-DSD Holdings. DSD Holdings and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Daploma
International A/S, are party to a credit agreement with Danske Bank. On June 1, 2006, DSD Holdings
and Daploma International A/S amended the borrowing availability from DKK 12 million (approximately
$2.1 million at March 31, 2007) to DKK 18 million (approximately $3.2 million at March 31, 2007).
In connection with the amendment, we executed a Letter of Support which confirms that we shall
maintain our holding of 100% of the share capital of Daploma, and that we shall neither sell, nor
pledge, nor in any way dispose of any part of Daploma or otherwise reduce our influence on Daploma
without the prior consent of Danske Bank. Interest is determined quarterly and is based on the
international rates Danske Bank can establish on a loan in the same currency on the international
market plus 2.0%. At March 31, 2007, the annual interest rate on the facility was 6.2%. Borrowing
availability under the credit facility considers guarantees outstanding. At March 31, 2007, the
borrowing availability on the credit agreement was DKK 0.3 million (approximately $53,000 at March
31, 2007). The credit agreement shall remain effective until further notice. DSD Holdings can
terminate the credit agreement and pay the outstanding balance, or Danske Bank may demand the
credit line be settled immediately at any given time, without prior notice.
Note Payable-DSD Holdings. As of March 31, 2007, DSD Holdings is party to a note
payable with Danske Bank. Principal and interest payments of DKK 0.3 million ($59,000 at March 31,
2007) plus interest are payable quarterly through December 15, 2008. The interest rate on the note
is calculated based on the international rates Danske Bank can establish on a loan in DKK in the
international market plus 2.0%. The interest rate on the note payable was 6.0% at March 31, 2007.
23
Invoice Discounting Agreement. On April 9, 2003, Signature entered into a two-year
Invoice Discounting Agreement with The Royal Bank of Scotland Commercial Services Limited (RBS).
The Invoice Discounting Agreement, as amended October 28, 2003, June 21, 2005, and July 27, 2006
provides for Signature to sell with full title guarantee most of its receivables, as defined in the
Invoice Discounting Agreement, as amended. Under the agreement, RBS prepays 80% of the receivables
sold in the United Kingdom and 80% of the receivables sold in the rest of the world, not to exceed
an outstanding balance of £1,000,000 (approximately $2.0 million at March 31, 2007) at any given
time. RBS pays Signature the remainder of the receivable upon collection of the receivable.
Receivables which remain outstanding 90 days from the end of the invoice month become ineligible
and RBS may require Signature to repurchase the receivable. The discounting charge accrues at an
annual rate of 1.5% above the base rate as defined in the amended Invoice Discounting Agreement
(5.25% at March 31, 2007). Signature pays a commission charge to RBS of 0.16% of each receivable
balance sold. The Invoice Discounting Agreement, as amended, requires a minimum commission charge
of £833 (approximately $1,600) per month. Discounting charges of $24,000 are included in interest
expense in the 2007 statement of operations. As of March 31, 2007, $1.3 million of receivables were
financed under the Invoice Discounting Agreement.
Revolving invoice funding facility. On March 23, 2007, we entered into a revolving
invoice funding facility with Greater Bay Business Funding, a division of Greater Bay Bank N.A
(Greater Bay). The agreement provides that we sell and assign to Greater Bay all rights, title
and interest in the accounts receivable of Digital Angel Technology Corporation and OuterLink
Corporation. Under the agreement, Greater Bay advances 80% of the eligible receivables, as
defined, not to exceed a maximum of $5,000,000 at any given time. Greater Bay pays the remainder
of the receivable upon collection. Interest is payable on the daily outstanding balance of funds
drawn and is equal to the Greater Bay Bank N.A. prime rate (8.25% at March 31, 2007) plus 3.00%.
The facility has an initial term of (12) months and is guaranteed by security interests covering
all accounts, contract rights, and general intangibles relating to our accounts receivable. As of
March 31, 2007, $4.0 million of receivables were financed under the invoice funding facility.
10.25% Senior Secured Debenture. On February 6, 2007, we entered into a securities
purchase agreement pursuant to which we sold a 10.25% senior secured debenture in the original
principal amount of $6,000,000 and a five-year warrant to purchase 699,600 shares of our common
stock.
The debenture matures on February 6, 2010, but we may, at our option, prepay the debenture in
cash at any time by paying a premium of 2% of the outstanding principal amount of the debenture. We
are obligated to make monthly payments of principal plus accrued but unpaid interest (including
default interest, if any) beginning on September 4, 2007.
The debenture is not convertible by the holder(s). However, we may, at our option but not
obligation, decide to make one or more monthly payments of principal and interest with shares of
our common stock instead of with cash. Our decision to make a monthly payment with cash or with
shares of common stock, or a combination of both will be determined on a monthly basis. Currently,
we anticipate making monthly payments with cash. If we choose to make a monthly payment with our
shares, the shares will be issued at an 8% discount to the then current market price of the shares.
If an event of default or a change of control occurs, the holder(s) has the right to require us to
redeem the debenture for a cash amount equal to 110% of the outstanding principal plus interest.
The proceeds from the financing, approximately $5.6 million, were used by us to fund a portion of
our acquisition of certain assets of McMurdo and to invest in the continued growth of our business.
As long as the debenture is outstanding we and our subsidiary, Signature, are required to
comply with certain financial covenants including minimum net tangible asset ratios and limits on
the total amount of liabilities that exist at each entity and on a combined basis. As of March 31,
2007, we were in breach of certain of these covenants due primarily to the fact that we did not
close the McMurdo acquisition until April 5, 2007 and the classification of certain of our leases
as capital leases. The lenders granted us a waiver with respect to these breaches and we have
amended the agreement to modify the affected covenant. In addition, we have agreed to restructure
certain terms of the transaction prior to June 7, 2007. A breach of any of these covenants, after
notice from the lender and if not remedied within the specified period, could result in an event of
default. Upon the occurrence of any default, other than an event of default arising from our
breach of the covenant to restructure certain terms of the transaction, our debenture lenders can elect to
declare all amounts of principal outstanding under such debenture, together with all accrued
interest, to be immediately due and payable. Furthermore, if such an event of default or a change
of control occurs, the holder(s) has the right to require us to redeem the debenture for a cash
amount equal to 110% of the outstanding principal plus interest. Upon the occurrence of an event
of default
arising from our breach of the covenant to restructure certain terms of the transaction, the
sole remedy of the lenders would be the increase of interest rate accrued on the debenture to

Acquisitions
On April 5, 2007, Signature, our London based subsidiary, consummated the Asset Sale and
Purchase Agreement (the Agreement) with McMurdo Limited (McMurdo), a United Kingdom based
subsidiary of Chemring Group Plc (Chemring). McMurdo is a manufacturer of emergency location
beacons. Pursuant to the Agreement, Signature acquired certain assets and customer contracts of
McMurdos marine electronics business including fixed assets, inventory, customer lists, customer
and supplier contracts and relations, trade and business names, and associated assets.
The purchase price for the McMurdo assets was approximately $5.7 million, plus an additional
deferred payment of up to $3.0 million based on sales of certain products between November 1, 2006
and October 31, 2007. The deferred payment is determined on a threshold basis with a minimum
threshold, based on the invoiced value of sales during such period and payable when the parties
finalize a statement of the sales.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In September 2006, FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157), which
defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted
accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This statement is
effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and
interim periods within those fiscal years. Earlier application is encouraged provided that the
reporting entity has not yet issued financial statements for that fiscal year including financial
statements for an interim period within that fiscal year. We are assessing SFAS 157 and have not
yet determined the impact that the adoption of SFAS 157 will have on our results of operations or
financial position.
In September 2006, FASB issued SFAS No. 158, Employers Accounting for Defined Benefit
Pension and Other Postretirement Plansan amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and
132(R), (SFAS 158), which requires employers to: (a) recognize in its statement of financial
position an asset for a plans overfunded status or a liability for a plans underfunded status;
(b) measure a plans assets and its obligations that determine its funded status as of the end of
the employers fiscal year; and (c) recognize changes in the funded status of a defined benefit
postretirement plan in the year in which the changes occur. Those changes will be reported in
comprehensive income of a business entity. The requirement to recognize the funded status of a
benefit plan and the disclosure requirements are effective as of the end of the fiscal year ending
after December 15, 2006, for entities with publicly traded equity securities. The requirement to
measure plan assets and benefit obligations as of the date of the employers fiscal year-end
statement of financial position is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. We
have determined that the adoption of SFAS 158 will not have a material affect on our consolidated
financial position, results of operations, cash flows or financial statement disclosures.
In February 2007, FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and
Financial Liabilities-including an amendment of FASB Statement 115,(SFAS 159). This statement
provides companies with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair
value. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 with early
adoption permitted. We are assessing SFAS 159 and have not yet determined the impact that the
adoption of SFAS 159 will have on our results of operations or financial position.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
We have operations and sales in various regions of the world. See Item 1, Business-Financial
Information About Geographic Areas in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2006. Additionally, we export to and import 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 are exposed to certain market risks that are inherent in our financial instruments. These
instruments arise from transactions entered into in the normal course of business.
The following table presents the future principal payment obligations and interest rates
associated with our 10.25% senior secured debenture assuming our actual level of long-term debt
indebtedness as of March 31, 2007:

Our primary market risk exposure relates to our ability to refinance our 10.25% senior
secured debenture, at maturity at market rates, and our ability to meet financial covenants. While
we cannot predict or manage our ability to refinance existing debt or the impact interest rate
movements will have on our existing debt, we continue to evaluate our financial position on an
ongoing basis.
Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 contains further
information regarding our market risk.

Item 4T. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer, have reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of our
disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Securities Exchange Act Rules 13a 15(e) and 15d
15(e), as of March 31, 2007. Based on its review and evaluation, our management has concluded
that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of March 31, 2007.
27
Change in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended
March 31, 2007, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our
internal control over financial reporting.
Part II
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
Digital Angel Corporation v. Corporativo SCM, S.A. de C.V.
On or about June 2, 2005, we filed a declaratory judgment action in the U.S. District Court
for the District of Minnesota seeking to have the Court determine our rights and liabilities under
a 2002 distribution agreement with Corporativo SCM, S.A. de C.V., a Mexican company that entered
into a distribution agreement for a product that was then under development by us but the
development of which was subsequently abandoned. Since filing the declaratory judgment action, we
have entered into a settlement agreement and the Court dismissed the case on May 1, 2007.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 includes a detailed
discussion of our risk factors. The information presented below updates and should be read in
conjunction with the risk factors and information disclosed in that Form 10-K.
Our 10.25% senior secured debenture contains restrictive covenants that could
adversely affect our business.
The stock purchase agreement pursuant to which we issued our 10.25% senior secured debenture
contains certain restrictive covenants and requires us to maintain certain financial ratios during
the term of the debenture, including limiting our ability and the ability of our subsidiaries to:
|
|
|
incur additional indebtedness; |
|
|
|
|
incur liens; |
|
|
|
|
pay dividends, repurchase capital stock or engage in other restricted payments; |
|
|
|
|
sell property; |
|
|
|
|
enter into certain merger, acquisitions or combinations; |
|
|
|
|
make certain investments; and |
|
|
|
|
enter into affiliate transactions. |
In addition, as long as the 10.25% senior secured debenture is outstanding we and our
subsidiary, Signature, are required to comply with certain financial covenants including minimum
net tangible asset ratios and to limit the total amount of liabilities that exist at each entity
and on a combined basis. If either we or our subsidiary, Signature, fail to comply with these
covenants, it could
result in an event of default under our 10.25% senior secured debenture. As of March 31, 2007,
we were in breach of certain of these covenants due primarily to the fact that we did not close the
McMurdo acquisition until April 5, 2007 and the classification of certain of our leases as capital
leases. The lenders granted us a waiver with respect to these breaches and we have amended the
agreement to modify the affected covenant. In addition, we have agreed to restructure certain
terms of the transaction prior to June 7, 2007. Our ability to meet these financial ratios and
tests and comply with these covenants can be affected by events beyond our control, and we may not
be able to do so. Furthermore, any new financial covenants that are negotiated may impose greater
restrictions on us and our subsidiary, Signature, and we may not be able to comply with them in the
future. A breach of any of these covenants, after notice from the lender and if not remedied
within the specified period, could result in an event of default. Although we received a waiver in
connection with our prior breach, the lenders may not grant us waivers for future breaches and even
if we did receive a waiver, the financial and other considerations that we might be required to
provide in exchange for such waiver could have a negative impact on our financial condition or
results of operations. Upon the occurrence of any default, other than an event of default arising
from our breach of the covenant to restructure certain terms of the transaction, our debenture lenders can
elect to declare all amounts of principal outstanding under such debenture, together with all
accrued interest, to be immediately due and payable.
28
Furthermore, if such an event of default or a
change of control occurs, the holder(s) has the right to require us to redeem the debenture for a
cash amount equal to 110% of the outstanding principal plus interest. Upon the occurrence of an
event of default arising from our breach of the covenant to restructure certain terms of the
transaction, the sole remedy of the lenders would be the increase of interest rate accrued on the
debenture to 15.25%. Amounts borrowed under the 10.25% senior secured debenture are secured by a
lien on substantially all of our assets. If we were unable to repay amounts that become due under
the 10.25% senior secured debenture, such lenders could proceed against the collateral granted to
them to secure that indebtedness.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
On February 6, 2007, we sold to an accredited lender a 10.25% senior secured debenture in the
original principal amount of $6,000,000 and a five-year warrant to purchase 699,600 shares of our
common stock (the Warrant). The debenture matures on February 6, 2010, and we are obligated to
make monthly payments of principal and interest beginning on September 4, 2007 (Monthly
Payments). We have the option, but not the obligation, of making the Monthly Payments, or a
portion of the Monthly Payments, in our common stock (at 92% of the then current market price
(Payment Shares)) upon the satisfaction of certain conditions. The Warrant has an initial
exercise price of $2.973 per share and contains certain anti-dilution adjustments and other
adjustments in the event of a change of control or an event of default.
The Debenture and Warrant were sold pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, and Rule 506 promulgated thereunder.
Item 5. Other Information
On May 7, 2007, we entered into Amendment No. 4 to Securities Purchase Agreement with Imperium
Master Fund, Ltd. pursuant to which the financial covenant regarding the total amount of
liabilities that Signature shall have was amended from $2.0 million at all times to $2.6 million
during the period commencing in February 6, 2007 through May 5, 2008 and $2.0 million from May 6,
2008 through the Termination Date. In addition, the parties agreed to restructure certain terms of
the transaction prior to June 7, 2007 and to finalize the documentation of such restructuring by
July 7, 2007. The debenture may not be prepaid prior to July 7, 2007.
On May 9, 2007, we amended our exclusive distribution and licensing agreement with VeriChip
Corporation pursuant to which we extended by one year the term of the Agreement and amended the
minimum purchase commitments during the term of the agreement, whereby VeriChip is required to
purchase $0, $875,000, $1,750,000 and $2,500,000 for each of 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010,
respectively, and $3,750,000 for 2011 and each year thereafter.
