DIGITAL ANGEL CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in thousands)
(Unaudited)
1. The Company and Basis of Presentation
Digital Angel Corporation and its subsidiaries (the Company) develop and deploy 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: (1) Animal Applications and (2) GPS and Radio Communications.
Animal Applications develops, manufactures, and markets a broad line of electronic and visual identification devices for the companion animal, livestock, fish and wildlife markets worldwide. The Animal Applications segment consists of our operations located in Minnesota, DSD Holdings A/S and its wholly-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 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 1940s, Animal Applications utilizes radio frequency transmission (RFID) technologies in its electronic ear tags and implantable microchips.
GPS and Radio Communications consists of the design, manufacture and support of global positioning system (GPS) enabled equipment. The GPS and Radio Communications segment consists of the Companys subsidiaries Signature Industries Limited (90.9% owned), located in the United Kingdom and OuterLink Corporation, 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.
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, including Daploma International A/Ss 70%-owned subsidiary, Daploma Polska. DSD Holdings A/S became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Digital Angel Corporation. DSD Holdings A/S produces visual and RFID tags. DSD Holdings A/Ss operations are included from the date of acquisition.
As of September 30, 2006, Applied Digital Solutions, Inc. (Applied Digital or ADS) owned 24,573,788 shares or approximately 55.2% of the Companys common stock.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company as of September 30, 2006 and for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 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 Companys management, all adjustments (including normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary to present fairly the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been made.
The consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 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 Corporations audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2005 which are included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K.
7
2. Principles of Consolidation
The September 30, 2006 and 2005 condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries (DSD Holdings A/S operations are included from the date of acquisition, February 28, 2005). 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 Corporations 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 services or goods are provided. It is the Companys policy to record contract losses in their entirety in the period in which such losses are foreseeable.
The Companys subsidiary, OuterLink Corporation, earns revenue from messaging services and from the sale of related products to customers (communication terminals and software). OuterLink Corporations messaging service is only available through use of its products and 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 on shipment, is deferred upon shipment and is recognized ratably over the estimated customer service period of 42 months in the nine month period ended September 30, 2006 and 30 months in the nine month period ended September 30, 2005.
The Company records a liability for product warranties at the time it is probable that a warranty liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. The Companys warranty liability was $34,000 as of September 30, 2006. Following is a reconciliation of the Companys product warranties (in thousands):

4. 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 supercedes 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. The pro forma disclosures previously permitted under SFAS 123 are no longer an alternative to financial statement recognition. We adopted SFAS 123R using the modified prospective method which required the application of the accounting standard as of January 1, 2006. Our consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006 reflect the impact of adopting SFAS 123R. In accordance with the modified prospective method, the consolidated financial statements for prior periods have not been restated to reflect, and do not include, the impact of SFAS 123R. See Note 7, Stock Options and Restricted Stock for further details.

6. Stock Exchange with Applied Digital Solutions, Inc.
On February 25, 2005, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with Applied Digital. The purpose of the stock exchange was to use the Applied Digital shares as partial consideration for the acquisition of DSD Holdings A/S and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Daploma International A/S and Digitag A/S, including Daploma International A/Ss 70%-owned subsidiary, Daploma Polska, as described more fully in Note 9. The Company and Applied Digital entered into the share exchange because of the selling shareholders desire, at the time the transaction was negotiated, to receive their consideration in Applied Digital common stock as opposed to the Companys common stock. In addition, the stock purchase represented a strategic investment by Applied Digital whereby Applied Digital could increase its ownership interest in the Company. 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 exchange ratio of shares was based upon the average of the volume-weighted-average price of the Companys common stock and Applied Digitals common stock for the ten trading days immediately preceding, and not including, the transaction closing date, which prices were $5.434 for the Companys common stock and $5.113 for Applied Digitals common stock. The value of the stock exchanged was $3.5 million.
7. Stock Options and Restricted Stock
Stock Option Plans
As of September 30, 2006, the Company maintains 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 nine month period ended September 30, 2006 we recorded stock-based compensation expense for awards granted in 2006 and awards granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2006 we recorded, $0.3 million and $0.6 million, respectively (this amount includes compensation for options granted to non-employees and for restricted stock grants), in stock-based employee compensation expense.
9
As of September 30, 2006, the DAC Stock Option Plan, which is stockholder-approved, has 18,195,312 shares of common stock reserved for issuance, of which 17,601,516 shares have been issued and 593,796 remain available for issuance. As of September 30, 2006, awards consisting of options to purchase 9,603,196 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 in the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005.

Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R, we provided the disclosures required under SFAS 123 as amended by SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosures. Employee stock-based compensation expenses recognized under SFAS 123 were not reflected in our results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2005 for employee stock option awards as all stock options were granted with an exercise price greater than or equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. Previously reported results have not been restated.

Manufactures and markets visual and electronic RFID tags for livestock. |

On February 28, 2005, the Company acquired DSD Holdings A/S and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Daploma International A/S and Digitag A/S, including Daploma International A/Ss 70%-owned subsidiary. DSD Holdings A/S became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Digital Angel Corporation. Denmark-based DSD Holdings A/S through its subsidiaries manufactures and markets visual and electronic RFID tags for livestock. 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 of $6.0 million and intangible assets of $2.0 million. The intangible assets are customer relationships, tradename, patents and a non-compete agreement. The customer relationships, patents and a non-compete agreement are being amortized over periods ranging from 3 to 15 years. Amortization recorded in the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 was $135,000 and $175,000, respectively.
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/Ss average annual EBITDA over the next three years less outstanding indebtedness at the end of the time period. 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. To account for pre-closing pricing fluctuations the Company paid additional consideration of $195,000 to the shareholders of DSD Holdings A/S on June 7, 2005.
In addition, on February 28, 2005 Digital Angel entered into employment agreements with the Chief Executive Officer of DSD Holdings A/S and its subsidiaries, Lasse Nordfjeld and his son, the President of Daploma, Torsten Nordfjeld.
Pursuant to the terms of the stock purchase agreement, at any time between the closing date of the acquisition and December 31, 2006 the Company had the right to buyout the remaining purchase price. On April 13, 2006, Digital Angel exercised its right to buyout the remaining purchase price by electing to pay the set amount of $2.0 million. The $2.0 million buyout price was satisfied by a cash payment of $1.0 million made on April 13, 2006 and the issuance on June 8, 2006 of $1.0 million worth of Digital Angels unregistered common stock, or 282,115 shares. The number of shares of Digital Angels common stock that were exchanged was determined based upon the average of the volume-weighted-average price of Digital Angels common stock for the 10 trading days prior to the closing date of the share exchange agreement, or $3.545 per share. LANO Holdings Aps, wholly owned by Lasse Nordfjeld, and Torsten Nordfjeld received 174,403 shares and 28,268 shares, respectively, of the 282,115 shares issued to the former shareholders of DSD. The $2.0 million buyout price was recorded as additional goodwill.
Applied Digital and the former shareholders of DSD agreed to exchange, per the terms of a share exchange agreement dated April 12, 2006, registered shares of Applied Digitals common stock for the unregistered shares of the Companys common stock paid by the Company to the former shareholders of DSD pursuant to the buyout agreement. Pursuant to the share exchange agreement, Applied Digital issued to the former shareholders of DSD 454,545 shares of Applied Digitals common stock, valued at $972,249, plus $27,751 in cash in exchange for the 282,115 shares of Digital Angel common stock that the former shareholders of DSD received from the Company in partial payment of the buyout, as more fully discussed above. The number of shares of Applied Digital common stock that were exchanged was determined based upon the average of the volume-weighted-average price of our common stock for the two trading days immediately preceding, and not including, the transaction closing date of June 8, 2006, which was $2.14 per share.

10. Litigation
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 claimed that Allflex was marketing and selling a syringe implantable identification transponder that infringed 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 claimed that PetHealth was using, selling and/or distributing the same transponder in violation of the Companys patent. The suit sought, among other things, an adjudication of infringement and that the infringing parties be enjoined from further improper action. The suit sought actual damages, punitive damages and interest, costs and attorneys fees. Allflex 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 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 contested the motion on the ground that Allflexs actions exceed the scope of the license and constituted an impermissible infringement of the patent and asked the Court for leave to amend the complaint to assert a claim for infringement of a separate patent licensed exclusively to the Company by Bio Medic Data Systems. On June 23, 2005, the Court issued a ruling granting the Defendants motion for judgment on the pleadings and denying the Companys motion for leave to amend.
Final judgment in the action was entered on February 21, 2006. On March 20, 2006, the Company filed a notice of appeal of the final judgment with the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals in Washington, D.C. The appeal is presently pending.
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 Companys 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 or have been 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. 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 Digital Angels views on the scope of the claims in the subject patent. The parties are continuing discovery in light of that order.

Crystal Import Corporation v. Digital Angel, et al.
On or about December 29, 2004, The Crystal Import Corporation filed an action against AVID Identification Systems, Inc. and the Company 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 the Company. The Company 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. On October 11, 2005, the Alabama Court denied the Companys motion to dismiss the complaint, but granted the Companys motion to transfer the action to Minnesota. Following the docketing of the action in Minnesota, the Company and AVID filed a motion seeking to stay the case until the corresponding patent infringement actions have been resolved. Prior to the hearing on the motion, an agreement was reached pursuant to which the Court entered an order on July 12, 2006 staying the action for 90 days with permission to seek an additional stay thereafter. The stay having expired on October 10, 2006 the Company and Avid re-filed their motion seeking to stay the case until the corresponding patent infringement actions have been resolved. The hearing on the motion is scheduled to take place on November 20, 2006. Given the uncertainties associated with all litigation and given the early stage of this proceeding, the Company is unable to offer any assessment on the potential liability exposure, if any, to the Company from this lawsuit.
Digital Angel Corporation v. Corporativo SCM, S.A. de C.V.
On or about June 2, 2005, the Company filed a declaratory judgment action in the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota seeking to have the Court determine the rights and liabilities of the Company under a 2002 distribution agreement with Corporativo SCM, S.A. de C.V., a Mexican company which entered into a distribution agreement for a product that was then under development by the Company but the development of which was subsequently abandoned. The defendant filed a motion to dismiss the declaratory judgment action, which the Court denied. On or about January 10, 2006, the defendant filed an answer and asserted a counterclaim against the Company for fraud seeking damages in an amount in excess of $75,000. The Company filed a response denying the allegations of the counterclaim, and moved to dismiss the counterclaim because it was not timely and failed to plead fraud with particularlity. The Court denied the Companys motion to dismiss on May 8, 2006 and the Company filed an Answer to the Amended Counterclaim that, among other things, denies the allegations of the Amended Counterclaim and asserts affirmative defenses. The case is in the initial discovery stages. Given the uncertainties associated with all litigation and given the early stage of this proceeding, the Company is unable to offer any assessment on the potential liability exposure, if any, to the Company from this lawsuit.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2006 Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2005
Revenue
Total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2006 was $13.2 million, a decrease of $0.6 million, or 4.1%, compared to $13.8 million in revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2005.

The Animal Applications segments revenue was $8.3 million in the three months ended September 30, 2006, a decrease of $0.5 million, or 5.9%, compared to $8.8 million in the three month period ended September 30, 2005. The decrease in revenue was principally due to a decrease in sales to fish and wildlife customers of approximately $0.7 million and a decrease in sales to companion animal customers of approximately $0.1 million. The decreases in the Animal Application segment were partially offset by an increase in sales to U.S. livestock customers of $0.3 million.
The GPS and Radio Communications segments revenue was $4.9 million in the three months ended September 30, 2006, a decrease of $52,000, or 1.0%, compared to $5.0 million in the three months ended September 30, 2005. The decrease in revenue was due to a decrease in sales of Signatures Sarbe products of $0.4 million, partially offset by an increase in sales at Signatures Radio Hire division of approximately $0.1 million and an increase in sales at OuterLink Corporation of $0.2 million.
Gross Profit and Gross Profit Margin
Gross profit for the three month period ended September 30, 2006 was approximately $5.6 million, a decrease of approximately $0.3 million, or 5.0%, compared to approximately $5.9 million in the three month period ended September 30, 2005. As a percentage of revenue, the gross profit margin decreased to 42.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2006 from 43.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2005.

The Animal Applications segments gross profit decreased approximately $0.4 million, or 10.8%, in the three month period ended September 30, 2006 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2005. The gross margin percentage was 37.6% for the three month period ended September 30, 2006 compared to 39.7% for the three month period ended September 30, 2005. We attribute the decrease in gross margin and gross margin percentage to additional freight and importation duties associated with providing inventory to South America from Denmark and the U.S. and product mix in the three months ended September 30, 2006 which yielded lower gross margin and gross margin percentage.
19
The GPS and Radio Communications segments gross profit increased approximately $0.1 million, or 3.3%, in the three month period ended September 30, 2006 as compared to the three month period ended September 30, 2005. In the three months ended September 30, 2006, OuterLink Corporations gross profit was up approximately $0.2 million offset by a decrease in gross profit of $0.1 million at Signature Industries Limited. The gross margin percentage increased to 51.4% in the three month period ended September 30, 2006 as compared to 49.3% in the three month period ended September 30, 2005. The increase in gross margin percentage relates primarily to lower material costs as a percentage of revenue at Signature Industries Limited and an increase in sales at OuterLink at a greater rate than the increase in overhead costs.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased approximately $0.2 million, or 3.3%, in the three month period ended September 30, 2006 as compared to the three month period ended September 30, 2005. As a percentage of revenue, selling, general and administrative expenses were 45.1% and 41.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

The Animal Applications segments selling, general and administrative expenses increased approximately $0.1 million in the three month period ended September 30, 2006 as compared to the three month period ended September 30, 2005 and selling, general and administrative expense as a percentage of revenue increased to 41.9% from 38.5% in the same respective periods. The increase in selling, general and administrative expense as a percentage of revenue primarily relates to the decrease in sales, as mentioned above.
The GPS and Radio Communications segments selling, general and administrative expenses increased approximately $0.1 million to approximately $2.5 million in the three month period ended September 30, 2006 from approximately $2.4 million in the three month period ended September 30, 2005. In the three months ended September 30, 2006, decreased amortization expense at our subsidiary, OuterLink Corporation, was partially offset by increased salary expense at our subsidiary, Signature Industries Limited. As a percentage of revenue, selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 50.4% in the three month period ended September 30, 2006 from 47.8% in the three month period ended September 30, 2005. The increase in selling, general and administrative expense as a percentage of sales resulted primarily from an increase in expenses while sales remained constant.
All of the Companys out-of-the money, unvested stock options issued to current employees, officers and directors prior to November 15, 2005 were vested on December 30, 2005, therefore equity based compensation expense related to stock options granted prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R was immaterial. In the nine months ended September 30, 2006 the Company granted 2.2 million stock options to employees and directors of Digital Angel Corporation. As of September 30, 2006 the Companys unrecognized compensation expense associated with its stock options is estimated to be $4.6 million and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average 6.3 years. The Company expects approximately 90% of this expense to be included in selling, general and administrative expense.

Research and Development Expense
Research and development expense was approximately $1.1 million in the three month period ended September 30, 2006 compared to approximately $1.2 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2005.

Interest expense was approximately $0.1 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2006 and approximately $0.1 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2005.
Income Taxes
The Company recorded an income tax provision of $4,000 in the three month period ended September 30, 2006 compared to a tax provision of $24,000 for the three month period ended September 30, 2005. The income tax provision for the three month period ended September 30, 2006 relates to a subsidiary of Daploma International A/S. The Company accounts 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.

The Animal Applications segments revenue of approximately $28.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 represents an increase of approximately $2.7 million, or 10.7%, compared to $25.4 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2005. The increase in revenue was principally due to an increase in electronic and visual product sales to livestock customers of approximately $1.7 million, an increase in sales to companion animal customers of approximately $1.9 million, an increase in sales of $0.5 million at DSD Holdings A/S ($0.8 million relates to two additional months of sales in 2006 offset by decreased sales of $0.3 million), and an increase in sales to customers in South America of $0.6 million. The increases in the Animal Application segment are partially offset by a decrease in sales to fish and wildlife customers of $1.7 million and a decrease in sales to VeriChip Corporation of $0.3 million.
The GPS and Radio Communications segments revenue of approximately $13.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2006 represents a decrease of approximately $2.8 million, or 16.7%, compared to $16.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The decrease in revenue was primarily due to an approximately $3.6 million decrease in sales of Signatures Sarbe products, partially offset by an increase in sales at Signatures Radio Hire division of approximately $0.5 million. We attribute $2.2 million of the Sarbe product sales decrease to the completion of the Indian government contract in May 2005 and $1.4 million of the Sarbe product sales decrease to other Sarbe product customers, including the UK Ministry of Defence.
Gross Profit and Gross Profit Margin
Gross profit for the nine month period ended September 30, 2006 was approximately $17.5 million, a decrease of approximately $1.1 million, or 5.9%, compared to approximately $18.6 million in the nine month period ended September 30, 2005. As a percentage of revenue, the gross profit margin decreased to 41.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 from 44.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2005.

The Animal Applications segments gross profit increased approximately $0.5 million, or 4.9%, in the nine month period ended September 30, 2006 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2005. We attribute approximately $0.2 million of the increase to the previously mentioned sales increases and $0.3 million to the inclusion of DSD Holdings A/S for an additional two months of operations in the nine month period ended September 30, 2006. DSD Holdings A/S was acquired on February 28, 2005. The gross margin percentage was 37.5% for the nine month period ended September 30, 2006 compared to 39.6% for the nine month period ended September 30, 2005. We attribute the decrease in gross margin percentage to additional freight and importation duties associated with providing inventory to South America from Denmark and the United States.
The GPS and Radio Communications segments gross profit decreased approximately $1.6 million, or 18.6%, in the nine month period ended September 30, 2006 as compared to the nine month period ended September 30, 2005. The decrease in gross profit relates to the decrease in sales and decreased gross margin percentage. The gross margin percentage decreased to 50.0% in the nine month period ended September 30, 2006 as compared to 51.2% in the nine month period ended September 30, 2005. The decrease in gross margin percentage relates primarily to higher margins on G2R Sarbe locator beacons shipped under the contract with the government of India in the first six months of 2005. Signature completed shipments under the contract with the government of India in May 2005.

The Animal Applications segments selling, general and administrative expenses increased approximately $1.2 million in the nine month period ended September 30, 2006 as compared to the nine month period ended September 30, 2005 and selling, general and administrative expense as a percentage of revenue increased to 38.8% from 38.2% in the same respective periods. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses relates primarily to a charge of approximately $0.2 million in acquisition expenses, approximately $0.7 million in additional compensation expense, approximately $0.4 million of additional expense related to DSD Holding A/S and increased selling, general and administrative expenses in our South American subsidiaries of $0.3 million. Such increases are partially offset by decreased insurance expense of $0.3 million. The nine month period ended September 30, 2005 includes seven months of results for DSD Holdings A/S compared to nine months of results in the nine month period ended September 30, 2006. DSD Holdings A/S was acquired on February 28, 2005.
The GPS and Radio Communications segments selling, general and administrative expenses decreased approximately $0.2 million to approximately $7.3 million in the nine month period ended September 30, 2006 from approximately $7.5 million in the nine month period ended September 30, 2005. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expense relates primarily to reduced intangible amortization expense at our subsidiary, OuterLink Corporation, partially offset by increased selling, general and administrative expense at our subsidiary Signature Industries Limited. As a percentage of revenue, selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 52.6% in the nine month period ended September 30, 2006 from 45.1% in the nine month period ended September 30, 2005. The increase in selling, general and administrative expense as a percentage of sales resulted primarily from the decrease in sales in the current period.
All of the Companys out-of-the money, unvested stock options issued to current employees, officers and directors prior to November 15, 2005 were vested on December 30, 2005, therefore equity based compensation expense related to stock options granted prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R was immaterial. In the nine months ended September 30, 2006, the Company granted 2.2 million stock options to employees and directors of Digital Angel Corporation. As of September 30, 2006 the Companys unrecognized compensation expense associated with its stock options is estimated to be $4.6 million and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average 6.3 years. The Company expects approximately 90% of this expense to be included in selling, general and administrative expense.
Research and Development Expense
Research and development expense was approximately $3.4 million in each of the nine month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005. As a percentage of revenue, research and development expense was 8.2% and 8.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

The GPS and Radio Communications segments research and development expense was approximately $1.3 million in the nine month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005.

Income Taxes
The Company recorded an income tax benefit of approximately $68,000 in the nine month period ended September 30, 2006 and an income tax provision of approximately $110,000 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2005. The income tax benefit for the nine month period ended September 30, 2006 relates to a subsidiary of Daploma International A/S. The Company accounts 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
As of September 30, 2006, the Company had cash of $3.9 million. Cash used in operating activities totaled approximately $4.0 million and approximately $1.6 million in the first nine months of 2006 and 2005, respectively.
In the first nine months of 2006, the use of cash was due primarily to the net loss of approximately $4.1 million, an increase in inventory of approximately $2.0 million, and a decrease in accounts payable, accrued expenses and deferred revenue of approximately $1.2 million. Partially offsetting these uses of cash were a decrease in accounts receivable of $2.1 million, depreciation and amortization of approximately $1.5 million and non-cash equity based compensation of approximately $0.6 million.
Investing activities used cash of approximately $2.9 million and approximately $2.6 million in the first nine months of 2006 and 2005, respectively. The Company purchased approximately $1.9 million of property and equipment in the first nine months of 2006 and $1.3 million in the first nine months of 2005. On April 13, 2006 the Company exercised its right to buyout the remaining purchase price for the acquisition of DSD Holdings. The $2.0 million buyout price was satisfied by a cash payment of $1.0 million paid in April 2006 and $1.0 million worth of the Companys unregistered common stock issued in June 2006.
Financing activities provided cash of approximately $0.7 million in the first nine months of 2006 and used cash of approximately $1.0 million in the first nine months of 2005. In the first nine months of 2006, proceeds to the Company related to stock option exercises were approximately $0.6 million. In the first nine months of 2005, approximately $1.5 million of cash was used for the purchase of 328,100 shares of treasury stock.

Debt, Covenant Compliance and Liquidity
Invoice Discounting Agreement 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.

The discounting charge accrues daily at an annual rate of 1.5% above the base rate, as defined in the amended Invoice Discounting Agreement (6.25% at September 30, 2006). 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 per month.

IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes an interpretation of FAS No. 109 (FIN 48), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. Currently, the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes is subject to significant and varied interpretations that have resulted in diverse and inconsistent accounting practices and measurements. Addressing such diversity, FIN 48 prescribes a consistent recognition threshold and measurement attribute, as well as clear criteria for subsequently recognizing, derecognizing and measuring changes in such tax positions for financial statement purposes. FIN 48 also requires expanded disclosure with respect to the uncertainty in income taxes. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company has not yet determined the impact of FIN 48 on its consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows or financial statement disclosures.
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), 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. The Company has determined that the adoption of SFAS 158 will not have a material affect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows or financial statement disclosures.
Also in September 2006, FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements 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. The Company is assessing SFAS No. 157 and has not determined yet the impact that the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have on its result of operations or financial position.
Forward-Looking Statements and Associated Risks
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;
27
· 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. See Item 1A. Risk Factors included in our 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A.
Our actual results might differ materially from historical performance or current expectation. We do not undertake any obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future event or otherwise.
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 do not believe that any changes in currency fluctuations, inflation, and changes in political and economic conditions would have a material affect on our business or our results of operations.
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.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
During the period covered by the Form 10-Q, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
For information with respect to certain legal proceedings, see the information included under the caption entitled, Litigation (Note 10) of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, which is incorporated herein by reference.
