1. Business and Basis of Presentation
VeriChip Corporation (the “Company,” “Registrant,” “us,” “we,” or “our”) is a Delaware corporation formed in November 2001. The Company commenced operations in January 2002. On February 14, 2007, the Company completed an initial public offering of its common stock, selling 3,100,000 shares of its common stock at a price of $6.50 per share. As of March 31, 2008, Applied Digital Solutions, Inc., d/b/a Digital Angel (“Digital Angel”), owned 48.7% of the Company’s common stock.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries as of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 (the December 31, 2007, financial information included in this report has been extracted from our audited financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the year ended December 31, 2007), and for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 have been prepared in accordance with United States (“U.S.”) generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) 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 U.S. for complete financial statements. In the opinion of our management, all adjustments (including normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary to present fairly the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been made. Certain items in the December 31, 2007 and March 31, 2007 periods have been reclassified for comparative purposes (see “Discontinued Operations”).
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of sales and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Included in these estimates are assumptions about allowances for excess inventory, bad debt reserves, lives of long lived assets, lives of intangible assets, assumptions used in Black-Scholes valuation models, estimates of the fair value of acquired assets and assumed liabilities, the determination of whether any impairment is to be recognized on goodwill or intangibles, among others.
The unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year. These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the year ended December 31, 2007.
The Company develops, markets and sells radio frequency identification, frequently referred to as RFID, systems used for the identification, location and protection of people and assets in the healthcare market. The Company’s healthcare security systems utilize external, active RFID tags to locate and protect people and assets. The Company’s VeriMed Health Link system, formerly known as the VeriMed patient identification system, uses an implantable passive RFID microchip that is used in patient identification applications. Each implantable microchip contains a unique verification number that is read when it is scanned by the Company’s scanner. In October 2004, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, cleared the Company’s VeriMed Health Link system for use in medical applications in the United States.
The Company obtains the implantable microchip from a wholly-owned subsidiary of Digital Angel under the terms of an amended and restated supply agreement. The supply agreement is discussed in Note 11, “Related Party Transactions.” Digital Angel, in turn, obtains the implantable microchip, a component of the VeriMed Health Link, from a subsidiary of Raytheon Company, under a separate supply agreement. The technology underlying these systems is covered, in part, by U.S. Patent No. 5,211,129 “Syringe-Implantable Identification Transponders.” In 1994, Destron/IDI, Inc., a predecessor company to Digital Angel, granted a co-exclusive license under this patent, other than for certain specified fields of use retained by the predecessor company, to Hughes Aircraft Company, or Hughes, and its then wholly-owned subsidiary, Hughes Identification Devices, Inc., or HID. The specified fields of use retained by the predecessor company do not include human identification or security applications. The rights licensed to Hughes and HID were freely assignable, and the Company does not know which party or parties currently have these rights or whether these rights have been assigned, conveyed or transferred to any third party. Digital Angel sources the implantable microchip indirectly from a subsidiary of Raytheon Company, with which Hughes, then known as HE Holdings, Inc. was merged in 1997. However, the Company has no documentation that establishes its right to use the patented technology for human identification or security applications. Through March 31, 2008, no intellectual property claims against the Company have been asserted (See Note 9 “Unasserted Claim — Potential Intellectual Property Conflict” and Note 11 “Related Party Transactions”).
On January 1, 2008, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, VeriChip Holdings Inc., or VHI, and Xmark Corporation, or Xmark, were amalgamated with Xmark surviving.

Discontinued Operations
During the quarter ended March 31, 2008 we made the decision to sell our ToolHound business. Historically, the results of the ToolHound business unit were included in our Industrial Segment. As a result of the Company’s decision to dispose of this business unit, the results of operations, financial position and cash flows of the ToolHound business have been classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented. On March 27, 2008 we sold the assets of our ToolHound business including all of its inventory and intellectual property, for $125 thousand. Revenues from our ToolHound business were $0.2 million and $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Gross profit was $0.1 million and $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Operating expenses were $0.1 million and $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Stock-Based Compensation
Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share Based Payment, or FAS 123R using the modified prospective transition method. Under this method, stock-based compensation expense is recognized using the fair-value based method for all awards granted on or after the date of adoption. Compensation expense for new awards granted after January 1, 2006 is recognized over the requisite service period based on the grant-date fair value of those options. Prior to adoption, the Company used the intrinsic value method under Accounting Principles Board 25, and related interpretations and provided the disclosure-only provisions of FAS 123. Under the intrinsic value method, no stock-based compensation had been recognized in our consolidated statement of operations for options granted to the Company’s employees and directors because the exercise price of such stock options equaled or exceeded the fair market value of the underlying stock on the dates of grant.
We recorded compensation expense, related to stock options, of approximately $0.1 million for each of the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007.
In December 2006, the Company issued 0.5 million shares of its restricted common stock to Scott R. Silverman, its chairman and chief executive officer, which shares are subject to forfeiture in the event that Mr. Silverman terminates his employment or the Company terminates his employment for cause on or before December 31, 2008. The Company determined the value of the stock to be $4.5 million based on the estimated value of its common stock of $9.00 per share on the date of grant. The value of the restricted stock is being amortized as compensation expense over the vesting period. The Company recorded compensation expense of approximately $0.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2008 associated with the restricted stock.
In March 2007, the Company issued 0.1 million shares of its restricted common stock to two officers, half of which grant was terminated on April 28, 2008 and half of which grant will vest on March 2, 2009. The Company determined the value of the stock to be $0.6 million based on the value of its common stock of $5.75 per share on the date of grant. The value of the outstanding restricted stock is being amortized as compensation expense over the vesting period. The Company recorded compensation expense of approximately $0.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2008 associated with this restricted stock.
In January and February 2008, the Company issued 0.6 million shares of its restricted common stock to certain employees and members of the board of directors. One grant of 50,000 shares of restricted stock was terminated on April 28, 2008 and the remaining balance of the restricted stock will vest in 2011. The Company determined the value of the stock to be $1.2 million based on the value of its common stock of $2.08 to $2.43 per share on the dates of grant. The value of the outstanding restricted stock is being amortized as compensation expense over the vesting period. The Company recorded compensation expense of approximately $0.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2008 associated with this restricted stock.

Stock-based compensation expense is reflected in the condensed consolidated statement of operations in selling, general and administrative expense.
The Company’s computation of expected life was determined based on the simplified method. The interest rate was based on the U.S. Treasury Yield curve in effect at the time of grant. Prior to its initial public offering, the Company’s computation of expected volatility was based on the historical volatility of Digital Angel’s common stock. Effective February 9, 2007, the Company’s computation of expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s comparable companies’ average historical volatility.
2. Principles of Consolidation
The financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned Canadian subsidiaries, VHI and Xmark. All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

4. Financing Agreements:
$8.0 Million Debt Financing
On February 29, 2008, the Company entered into an $8.0 million debt financing (the “Agreement”) with Valens Offshore SPV II, Corp. (the “Lender”). Under the terms of the Agreement, the Lender extended financing to the Company in the form of an $8.0 million secured term note (the “Note”). The Note bears interest at a rate of 12% per annum, and has a maturity date of March 31, 2009. The terms of the Note allow for optional redemption by paying 100% of the principal amount plus $120,000, if such amounts are paid prior to the six month anniversary of February 29, 2008, or $240,000, if such amounts are paid on or after the six month anniversary of February 29, 2008. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company issued to the Lender 120,000 shares of its common stock. The cost of this issuance was $0.3 million, which will be amortized over the period of the Note.
The Note also contains certain customary representations and warranties events of default, including, among other things, failure to pay, violation of covenants, and certain other expressly enumerated events. To secure the Company’s obligations under the Agreement, the Company granted the Lender a security interest in substantially all of the Company’s assets, including all of the issued and outstanding capital stock in Xmark. The Company previously granted a security interest in all of its assets, including the outstanding capital stock in Xmark, to Digital Angel. The Lender entered into a subordination agreement with Digital Angel, dated February 29, 2008, under which obligations of the Company to Digital Angel are subordinated in right of payment and priority to the payment in full due to the Lender by the Company.
We will be required to generate funds to repay the Note to the Lender, through a combination of operating cash flow, stock issuances, including stock issuances of our common stock and/or third-party financings. Our historical sources of liquidity have included proceeds from the sale of common stock, proceeds from the issuance of debt, and proceeds from the exercise of stock options and warrants. In addition to these sources, other sources of liquidity may include the raising of capital through additional private placements or public offerings of debt or equity securities, or proceeds from the sale of businesses. However, going forward some of these sources may not be available, or if available, they may not be on favorable terms

Royal Bank of Canada
Our subsidiaries, VHI and Xmark, entered into a credit facility dated March 15, 2006 with the Royal Bank of Canada, or RBC, providing for up to CDN $1.5 million, or approximately $1.5 million based on the exchange rate as of December 31, 2007, of revolving credit loans, provided that outstanding borrowings under the facility could not exceed at any time an amount determined by reference to eligible accounts receivable plus eligible inventory, in each case as defined in the agreement, of VHI. On February 29, 2008 this facility was terminated in conjunction with the Valens Agreement.
Letter Agreement with Digital Angel
The Company used part of the proceeds of the Note with the Lender to prepay $5.3 million of debt owed to Digital Angel under a loan agreement. See Note 11, “Related Party Transactions” to our condensed consolidated financial statements for more information.
5. Stockholders’ Equity
On February 14, 2007, the Company completed an initial public offering of its common stock. In connection with its initial public offering, the Company sold 3,100,000 shares of its common stock at a price of $6.50 per share. As a result, as of March 31, 2008, Digital Angel owned approximately 48.7% of the Company’s common stock.
Stock Option Plans
In April 2002, the Company’s board of directors approved the VeriChip Corporation 2002 Flexible Stock Plan, or the VeriChip 2002 Plan. Under the VeriChip 2002 Plan, the number of shares for which options, SARs or performance shares, may be granted is approximately 2.0 million. As of March 31, 2008, approximately 1.9 million options and restricted shares, net of forfeitures, have been granted to directors, officers and employees under the VeriChip 2002 Plan and 1.2 million of the options or shares granted were outstanding as of March 31, 2008. Approximately 1.1 million options are fully vested and expire up to nine years from the vesting date and 0.1 million options vest ratably over three years. As of March 31, 2008, no SARs have been granted and 22,000 shares may still be granted under the VeriChip 2002 Plan.
On April 27, 2005, Digital Angel’s board of directors approved the VeriChip Corporation 2005 Flexible Stock Plan, or the VeriChip 2005 Plan. Under the VeriChip 2005 Plan, the number of shares for which options, SARs or performance shares may be granted is approximately 0.3 million. As of March 31, 2008, approximately 0.3 million options have been granted under the VeriChip 2005 Plan and 0.2 million of the options were outstanding. Approximately 0.1 of the options are fully vested and expire up to nine years from the vesting date and vest ratably over three years. As of March 31, 2008, no SARs have been granted and 832 shares may still be granted under the VeriChip 2005 Plan.
On June 17, 2007, the Company adopted the VeriChip 2007 Stock Incentive Plan, or the VeriChip 2007 Plan. Under the VeriChip 2007 Plan, the number of shares for which options, SARs or performance shares may be granted is 1.0 million. As of March 31, 2008, approximately 0.8 million options and shares have been granted under the VeriChip 2007 Plan. As of March 31, 2008, no SARs have been granted and 0.2 million shares may still be granted under the VeriChip 2007 Plan.
In addition, as of March 31, 2008, options exercisable for approximately 0.4 million shares of the Company’s common stock have been granted outside of the Company’s plans. These options were granted at exercise prices ranging from $0.23 to $8.55 per share, are fully vested and are exercisable for a period of up to seven years.

The Black-Scholes model, which the Company used to determine compensation expense, required the Company to make several key judgments including:
    the estimated value of the Company’s common stock;
    the expected life of issued stock options;
    the expected volatility of the Company’s stock price;
    the expected dividend yield to be realized over the life of the stock option; and
    the risk-free interest rate over the expected life of the stock options.
The Company prepared these estimates based upon its historical experience, the stock price volatility of comparable publicly-traded companies, including Digital Angel, and its best estimation of future conditions.
The fair values of the options granted were estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes valuation model based on the following weighted-average assumptions:
                 
    2008     2007  
 
               
Expected dividend yield
           
Expected stock price volatility
          50 %

7. Segmented information:
In early 2007, the Company realigned its business into three business segments: healthcare security, implantable, and industrial. This change was made to align the Company’s financial reporting with its new operational management structure. All segment information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q has been reclassified to reflect the segment realignment.
Healthcare Security
Utilizing RFID technology, the Company’s healthcare security segment currently engages in marketing, selling and developing the following products:
    infant protection systems used in hospital maternity wards and birthing centers to prevent infant abduction and mother-baby mismatching;
    wander prevention systems used by long-term care facilities to locate and protect their residents; and
    asset/staff location and identification systems used by hospitals and other healthcare facilities to identify, locate and protect medical staff, patients, visitors and medical equipment.
Implantable
The Company’s implantable segment includes its VeriMed Health Link system, formerly known as the VeriMed patient identification system, using an implantable RFID microchip that can be used in a variety of patient identification applications. Each implantable microchip contains a unique verification number that is read when it is scanned by the Company’s scanner. In October 2004, the FDA cleared the Company’s VeriMed Health Link system for use in medical applications in the U.S.
Industrial
The Company’s industrial segment engages in marketing, selling and developing the following products:
    vibration monitoring instruments used by engineering, construction and mining professionals to monitor the effects of human induced vibrations, such as blasting activity; and
    asset management systems that industrial companies use to manage and track their mobile equipment and tools.
We sold our ToolHound business during the first quarter of 2008. The sale of the ToolHound business is not expected to have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. All amounts relating to the ToolHound business have been reclassified to discontinued operations.

8. Income Taxes
We had an effective tax rate of (9.9)% and (1.4)% for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, related to our Canadian-based businesses. We incurred consolidated losses before taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007. However, we have not recorded a tax benefit for the resulting U.S. net operating loss carryforwards, as we have determined that a valuation allowance against our net U.S. deferred tax assets was appropriate based primarily on our historical operating results.
FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, (“FIN 48”) was issued to clarify the requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes , relating to the recognition of income tax benefits.
FIN 48 provides a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring tax benefits when the benefits’ realization is uncertain. The first step is to determine whether the benefit is to be recognized, and the second step is to determine the amount to be recognized:
    income tax benefits should be recognized when, based on the technical merits of a tax position, the entity believes that if a dispute arose with the taxing authority and were taken to a court of last resort, it is more likely than not (i.e., a probability of greater than 50 percent) that the tax position would be sustained as filed; and
    if a position is determined to be more likely than not of being sustained, the reporting enterprise should recognize the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the taxing authority.
Effective January 1, 2007, we adopted FIN 48. The implementation of FIN 48 did not result in any adjustment to the Company’s beginning tax positions. The Company continues to fully recognize its tax benefits which are offset by a valuation allowance to the extent that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
The Company files federal and provincial income tax returns in Canada and files federal and state income tax returns in the U.S. The Company is generally no longer subject to federal and provincial income tax examinations by Canadian tax authorities for years before 2001 and to federal and state income tax examinations by U.S. tax authorities for years before 2003. Management does not anticipate that adjustments, if any, which may be proposed by the Canadian Revenue Agency would result in a material change to its financial position.

The Company recognizes any interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits or exposures in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses. During the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, there was no such interest or penalty.
9. Unasserted Claim—Potential Intellectual Property Conflict
Hughes, HID, any of their respective successors in interest, or any party to whom any of the foregoing parties may have assigned its rights under the 1994 license agreement (see Note 1) may commence a claim against the Company asserting that the Company is violating its rights. If such a claim is successful, sales of the Company’s implantable microchip could be enjoined and the Company could have been required to cease its efforts to create a market for it implantable microchip until the patent expired in April 2008. In addition, the Company could be required to pay damages, which may be substantial.
If the Company or Digital Angel was denied use of the patented technology in applications involving the identification of human beings, the Company would not have been able to purchase or sell any of its products that incorporate the implantable microchip before the patent expired. The Company may be required to pay royalties and other damages to third parties on products it has already purchased or will purchase from Digital Angel.
The Company has been publicly marketing and selling the implantable microchip for human identification and security applications for approximately five years. Through March 31, 2008, there are no pending or threatened intellectual property claims challenging the Company’s marketing or selling activities. The Company’s supply and development agreement with Digital Angel contains an indemnification provision. To the extent that such an infringement claim is made, the Company believes it is entitled to indemnification pursuant to the supply and development agreement with Digital Angel. In October 2007, Digital Angel and the successor to HID executed a cross-license which includes Digital Angel obtaining a royalty free non-exclusive license to HID’s rights to the implantable human applications of the ‘129 patent, for which it purports certain ownership rights to. Digital Angel has, in turn, sublicensed those rights to the Company
Under the circumstances, the accompanying financial statements make no provision with respect to the unasserted claim described above.
10. Legal proceedings
The Company is engaged in certain legal actions and management believes that the ultimate outcome of these actions will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operating results, liquidity or financial position.
Metro Risk
On January 10, 2005, the Company commenced an action in the Circuit Court for Palm Beach County, Florida, against Metro Risk Management Group, LLC, or Metro Risk. In this suit, the Company has claimed that Metro Risk breached the parties’ three international distribution agreements by failing to meet required minimum purchase obligations. On July 1, 2005, Metro Risk asserted a counterclaim against the Company for breach of contract and fraud in the inducement. Specifically, in its claim for breach of contract, Metro Risk alleged that the Company breached the exclusivity provision of the parties’ distribution agreements by later signing a different distribution agreement with a large distributor of medical supplies. Metro Risk asserted that the distribution agreement with this other distributor included areas in Europe. Moreover, regarding its claim for fraud in the inducement, Metro Risk alleged that the Company fraudulently induced Metro Risk into signing the distribution agreements by promising millions of dollars in profits. By virtue of its counterclaim, Metro Risk seeks reliance damages in the amount of $155,000, which represents the amount of money advanced by Metro Risk for the project, lost profits, and attorneys’ fees. The parties have taken very little discovery at the present time. Metro Risk has propounded no discovery on us, and we have propounded a request for production and a request for admissions on Metro Risk. The parties have not taken any depositions yet. Given the early stage of the matter and because discovery has recently begun, counsel is currently unable to assess the ultimate outcome.

Stock Option Plans
The Company has received demand letters from attorneys for several former employees and/or consultants of the Company and Digital Angel, asserting claims related to stock options to acquire approximately 540 thousand shares of the Company’s common stock that management believes that such employees and/or consultants had forfeited when they ceased their employment or relationship with the Company and/or Digital Angel. The Company believes that all of these potential claims are without merit and intends to vigorously defend them in the event the claims are asserted or litigated.
The Company is a party to various legal actions, as either plaintiff or defendant, including the matters identified above, arising in the ordinary course of business, none of which is expected to have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition or results of operations. However, litigation is inherently unpredictable, and the costs and other effects of pending or future litigation, governmental investigations, legal and administrative cases and proceedings, whether civil or criminal, settlements, judgments and investigations, claims or charges in any such matters, and developments or assertions by or against the Company relating to it or to its intellectual property rights and intellectual property licenses could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and operating results.
11. Related Party Transactions
Transition Services Agreement
On December 27, 2005, the Company entered into a transition services agreement with Digital Angel under which Digital Angel agreed to provide the Company with certain administrative transition services, including payroll, legal, finance, accounting, information technology, tax services, and services related to this offering. As compensation for these services, the Company agreed to pay Digital Angel (i) approximately $62,000 per month for fixed costs allocable to these services, (ii) Digital Angel’s reasonable out-of-pocket direct expenses incurred in connection with providing these services that are not included in the agreement as a monthly fixed cost, (iii) Digital Angel’s expenses incurred in connection with services provided to the Company in connection with the initial public offering of the Company’s common stock, and (iv) any charges by third party service providers that may or may not be incurred as part of the offering and that are attributable to transition services provided to or for the Company.
On December 21, 2006, the Company and Digital Angel entered into an amended and restated transition services agreement, which became effective on February 14, 2007, the date of completion of the Company’s initial public offering of the Company’s common stock. Prior to that time, the initial transition services agreement remained in effect. The term of the amended and restated agreement will continue until such time as the Company requests Digital Angel to cease performing transition services, provided that Digital Angel is not obligated to continue to provide the transition services for more than twenty-four months following the effective date. Except for any request by the Company that Digital Angel cease to perform transition services, subject to certain notice provisions, the agreement may not be terminated by either party except in the event of a material default in Digital Angel’s delivery of the transition services or in the Company’s payment for those services. The services provided by Digital Angel under the amended and restated transition services agreement are the same as those provided under the initial agreement. The estimated monthly charge for the fixed costs allocable to these services was increased, in early 2007, to approximately $72,000 per month, primarily as the result of an increased allocation for office space. In April 2007 the monthly charge was reduced to $40,000, primarily as the result of reductions in shared personnel costs. Effective January 1, 2008, the monthly cost was further reduced to $10,000 per month.
The terms of the transition services agreement and the amendment and restatement of the agreement were negotiated between certain of the Company’s executive officers and certain executive officers of Digital Angel. The Company’s and Digital Angel’s executive officers were independent of one another and the terms of the agreement were based upon historical amounts incurred by Digital Angel for payment of such services to third parties. Accordingly, the Company believes that it negotiated the best terms and conditions under the circumstances, however, these costs are not necessarily indicative of the costs which would be incurred by the Company as an independent stand alone entity.

Table of Contents

Management believes that the fees charged for these services are reasonable and consistent with what the expenses would have been on a stand-alone basis. The costs of these services to the Company were $30,000, and $0.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Loan Agreement with Digital Angel
Prior to the date of our initial public offering, which was consummated on February 14, 2007, we financed a significant portion of our operations and investing activities primarily through funds that Digital Angel provided. As of March 31, 2008, we were indebted to Digital Angel in the amount of $7.6 million.
Through October 5, 2006, our loan with Digital Angel bore interest at the prevailing prime rate of interest as published by The Wall Street Journal , which as of September 30, 2006 was 8.25% per annum. On October 6, 2006, we entered into an amendment to the loan agreement which increased the principal amount available thereunder to $13.0 million and we borrowed an additional $2.0 million under the agreement to make the second purchase price payment with respect to our acquisition of Instantel Inc. In connection with that amendment, the interest rate was also changed to a fixed rate of 12% per annum. That amendment further provided that the loan matured on July 1, 2008, but could be extended at the option of Digital Angel through December 27, 2010.
On January 19, 2007, February 8, 2007 and February 13, 2007, we entered into further amendments to the loan documents, which increased the maximum principal amount of indebtedness that we may incur to $14.5 million. A portion of this increase was used to cover approximately $0.7 million of intercompany advances made to us by Digital Angel during the first week of January 2007. Upon the consummation of our initial public offering in February 2007, the loan ceased to be a revolving line of credit, and we have no ability to incur additional indebtedness under the loan documents. The interest continues to accrue on the outstanding indebtedness at a rate of 12% per annum. On February 14, 2007, the closing date of our initial public offering, we were indebted to Digital Angel in the amount of $15.1 million, including $1.0 million of accrued interest and, in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement as most recently amended on February 13, 2007, we used $3.5 million of the net proceeds of our initial public offering to repay a portion of our indebtedness to Digital Angel upon consummation of our initial public offering. Effective with the payment of the $3.5 million, all interest which accrues on the loan as of the last day of each month, commencing with February 2007, is added to the principal amount. A final balloon payment equal to the outstanding principal amount then due under the loan plus all accrued and unpaid interest will be due and payable on February 1, 2010.
The loan with Digital Angel is subordinated to our obligations under our credit agreement with the Lender, which is further described in Note 4 “Financing Agreements,” to our condensed consolidated financial statements, and is collateralized by security interests in all of our property and assets, except as otherwise encumbered by the rights of the Lender.
The Company used part of the proceeds of the Note with the Lender to prepay $5.3 million of debt owed to Digital Angel. In connection with the financing, the Company entered into a letter agreement with Digital Angel, dated February 29, 2008, under which the Company agreed, among other things, to prepay $5.3 million to Digital Angel, and to amend that certain letter agreement between the Company and Digital Angel dated as of December 20, 2007 (the “December 2007 Letter Agreement”), to provide that the Company will have until October 30, 2008 to prepay in full the entire outstanding principal amount to Digital Angel by paying to Digital Angel $10 million, less the $500,000 paid pursuant to the December 2007 Letter Agreement, less the $5.3 million paid in connection with this financing, less other principal payments made to reduce the outstanding principal amount between the date of the December 2007 Letter Agreement and the date of such prepayment, plus any accrued and unpaid interest between October 1, 2007 and the date of such prepayment. As a result of the $5.3 million payment, the Company will not be required to make any further debt service payments to Digital Angel until September 1, 2009.
At March 31, 2008, the amount of outstanding principal under the loan with Digital Angel was $7.6 million. In February 2008, pursuant to the December 2007 Letter Agreement, the Company prepaid an additional $5.3 million to Digital Angel. If the Company pays Digital Angel an additional $4.2 million prior to October 30, 2008, plus accrued interest, the Company will extinguish its entire obligation to Digital Angel.

Interest expense incurred under the loan for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 was $0.3 million and $0.4 million, respectively.
Funding of Instantel Acquisition
Digital Angel agreed to fund the cost of the Instantel acquisition in order for the Company to effect the acquisition. Given that the Company did not provide Digital Angel with any specific consideration for the transaction, the Company does not believe that the terms are comparable to terms that could be obtained in transaction with independent third parties.
Supply Agreement
The Company executed a supply and development agreement dated March 4, 2002 with Digital Angel covering the manufacture and supply of its implantable microchip.
On December 27, 2005, the Company entered into an amended and restated supply and development agreement with Digital Angel, which was further amended on May 9, 2007. Under this agreement, Digital Angel is the Company’s sole supplier of human-implantable microchips.
The Company’s purchase of product under the supply and development agreement was approximately nil and $0.7 million for periods ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The supply and development agreement with Digital Angel continues until March 2014, and, as long as the Company continues to meet minimum purchase requirements (the minimum purchase requirements were nil in 2007 and are approximately $0.9 million in 2008), the agreement will automatically renew annually under its terms until the expiration of the last of the patents covering any of the supplied products. The agreement may be terminated prior to its stated term under specified events, including as a result of a bankruptcy event of either party or an uncured default. In addition, Digital Angel may sell the microchips to third parties if the Company does not take delivery and pay for a minimum number of microchips as specified in the agreement. Further, the agreement provides that Digital Angel shall, at the Company’s option, furnish and operate a computer database to provide data collection, storage and related services for the Company’s customers for a fee as provided. The Company does not currently utilize this service, nor does it intend to. A termination of the Company’s supply and development agreement or the ability of Digital Angel to supply third parties due to failure by the Company to meet its minimum purchase requirements or for any other reason would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business prospects.
The terms of the predecessor supply and development agreement and the amended and restated supply and development agreement were negotiated by the executive officers of the respective companies and approved by the independent members of each company’s board of directors.
Digital Angel relies solely on a production agreement with a subsidiary of Raytheon Company for the manufacture of the human-implantable microchip products. The subsidiary utilizes Digital Angel’s equipment in the production of the microchips. On April 28, 2006, Digital Angel entered into a new production agreement with the subsidiary related to the manufacture and distribution of glass-encapsulated syringe-implantable transponders, including the human-implantable microchip products sold by the Company. This new agreement expires on June 30, 2010. (See Note 1.)
Pledge Agreement of Digital Angel
On August 24, 2006, Digital Angel pledged 65% of its ownership in the Company’s common stock to its lender under the terms of a note and pledge agreement. The note is due in February 2010. This note replaced a previous note issued by Digital Angel, which was due in June 2007. On August 31, 2007, Digital Angel pledged 80% of its ownership in the Company’s common stock to its lender under the terms of a note and pledge agreement. The note is due in February 2010.

13. Subsequent Event
On May 15, 2008, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with The Stanley Works to sell all of the outstanding capital stock of its subsidiary, Xmark, for $45 million cash. Xmark includes all of the operations of the Company’s healthcare security and industrial segments.
Following the completion of the sale of Xmark to Stanley, the Company will retire all of its outstanding debt. The Company expects to realize net proceeds, after retiring its outstanding debt, paying transaction related costs and other contractual commitments, of approximately $21.4 million. Under the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, $4.5 million of the proceeds will be held in escrow for a period of 12 months. The Company intends to fund a special dividend to stockholders estimated to be at least $15 million.
The Company has also retained an investment banking firm to assist in the sale of the Company’s VeriMed Health Link business, and the possible sale of the entire Company, after the sale of Xmark. The Company intends to propose a second, special dividend to its stockholders consisting of all of the remaining distributable cash then held by the Company following any sale of the VeriMed Health Link business or the Company and the release of the escrowed funds.
At the closing of the Xmark transaction, Scott R. Silverman and the Company have mutually agreed that Mr. Silverman will no longer be an officer or director of the Company, although he will remain active as a consultant in the sale of the VeriMed Health Link business and the Company. William J. Caragol will continue as President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company. Joseph J. Grillo, President and Chief Executive Officer of Digital Angel, will replace Mr. Silverman as a Board Member of the Company, as its Chairman.
The Xmark transaction is not subject to any financing conditions and subject to approval by the Company’s stockholders. The Company’s largest stockholder, Digital Angel, along with Scott R. Silverman, the Company’s chief executive officer, have formally agreed to vote in favor of the transaction. The Company expects the sale of Xmark to close during the third quarter of 2008.

Except as otherwise required by federal securities laws, we disclaim any obligation or undertaking to disseminate any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statement contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to reflect any change in our expectations or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based. All forward-looking statements attributable to us, or persons acting on our behalf, are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and under the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the year ended December 31, 2007. These are factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from expected results. Other factors besides those listed could also adversely affect us.
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the accompanying financial statements and related notes included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on the 10-Q as well as our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the year ended December 31, 2007.
We develop, market, and sell radio frequency identification, frequently referred to as RFID, systems used for the identification, location and protection of people and assets in the healthcare market. In early 2007, we realigned our business into three business segments: healthcare security, implantable, and industrial. This change was made to align our financial reporting with our new operational management structure.
Our healthcare security segment encompasses the development, marketing and sale of our healthcare security and location systems, specifically: (i) infant protection systems used in hospital maternity wards and birthing centers to prevent infant abduction and mother-baby mismatching; (ii) wander prevention systems used by long-term care facilities to locate and protect their residents; and (iii) asset/staff location and identification systems used by hospitals and other healthcare facilities to identify, locate and protect medical staff, patients, visitors and medical equipment.

Table of Contents

The principal offering of our implantable segment is our VeriMed Health Link system using an implantable FDA-cleared RFID microchip that is used in patient identification applications. Each implantable microchip contains a unique verification number that is read when it is scanned by our scanner. In October 2004, the FDA cleared our VeriMed Health Link system for use in medical applications in the United States.
Our industrial segment encompasses the sale of vibration monitoring instruments used by engineering, construction and mining professionals to monitor the effects of human induced vibrations, such as blasting activity. Our industrial segment also encompasses the sale of asset management systems used by industrial companies to manage and track their mobile equipment and tools.
Results of Operations
The table below sets forth data from our consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, expressed as a percentage of total revenue. To date, substantially all of our revenue consists of revenue from our healthcare security and industrial businesses, which comprise the operations for our wholly-owned subsidiary, Xmark.
Through March 31, 2008, we have recorded nominal revenue from sales of our VeriMed Health Link system. Over time, we expect that sales of our VeriMed Health Link system will become a significant part of our revenue, although there can be no assurance that they will.

Revenue
Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $8.6 million, an increase of $1.5 million compared to the comparable period of the prior year.
Our healthcare security segment’s revenue was $6.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $5.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The $1.3 million increase in revenue in our healthcare security segment is primarily attributable to increased sales of infant protection and wander prevention systems reflecting increased sales volumes generated by our key dealers for both new systems and the sale of RFID tags and other consumables to our installed base.
Our industrial segment’s revenue was $2.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The $0.2 million increase in revenue in our industrial segment reflects an increase in sales of our vibration monitoring products.
Our implantable segment’s revenue was approximately $3,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $1,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007.
Gross Profit and Gross Profit Margin
Our cost of products consists of component parts, direct labor and finished goods. Component parts and finished goods are purchased from contract manufacturers, including our implantable microchip and scanners used in our VeriMed Health Link system, which are purchased as finished goods under the terms of our agreement with Digital Angel. Moreover, included in our cost of products is amortization of intangible assets acquired in the acquisitions of Instantel Corporation and EXI Wireless Inc., during the first half of 2005. Such amortization amounted to $0.1 million for each of the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007.
Cost of services consists primarily of third-party installation services in connection with direct sales to healthcare customers. In addition, cost of services sold in our industrial segment consists of servicing our existing systems, principally the calibration services we provide for our vibration monitoring instruments.
Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $5.0 million compared to $3.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. As a percentage of revenue, our gross profit margin was 58.6% and 52.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Our healthcare security segment’s gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $3.9 million compared to $2.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. Our healthcare security segment’s gross profit margin increased to 58.3% in the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to 50.9% in the three months ended March 31, 2007. The increase in gross profit and gross profit margin are due to improved inventory quality control as a result of the consolidation of operations from Vancouver to Ottawa.
Our industrial segment’s gross profit for each of the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 was $1.2 million and $1.1 million, respectively.
Our implantable segment’s gross profit increased from $1,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 to $3,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008.
Selling, General and Administrative Expense
Selling, general and administrative expense consists primarily of compensation for employees in executive, sales, marketing and operational functions, including finance and accounting, and corporate development. Other significant costs include depreciation and amortization, professional fees for accounting and legal services, consulting fees and facilities costs.
Selling, general and administrative expense increased $0.8 million to $6.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 as compared to $5.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. As a percentage of revenue, selling, general and administrative expense was 71.1% and 74.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Table of Contents

During the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, we incurred stock-based compensation expense of $0.9 million and $0.7 million, respectively.
Included in selling, general and administrative expense was $30,000 and $0.2 million of certain general and administrative services provided to us by Digital Angel, including accounting, finance and legal services, insurance, telephone, rent and other miscellaneous items in the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Selling, general and administrative expense included depreciation and amortization expense of approximately $0.5 million for each of the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007.
Our healthcare security segment’s selling, general and administrative expense was $2.2 million and $2.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. As a percentage of our healthcare security segment’s revenue, selling, general and administrative expense was 33.4% and 37.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. We attribute the decrease in selling, general, and administrative expense as a percentage of revenue primarily to the revenue growth in our infant protection and wander prevention businesses and the fixed nature of our general and administrative expenses.
Our industrial segment’s selling, general and administrative expense was approximately $0.6 million and $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. As a percentage of our industrial segment’s revenue, selling, general and administrative expense was 33.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to 28.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2007.
Our implantable segment’s selling, general and administrative expense increased $0.1 million to $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2007. The increase was due to our increased sales and marketing expenses associated with our VeriMed Health Link business.
Our corporate segment’s selling, general and administrative expense increased $0.3 million to $1.9 million in three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2007. This increase was due primarily to the additional costs resulting from equity based compensation and increased costs related to operating as a public entity during the three months ended March 31, 2008.
Research and Development
Our research and development expense consists primarily of payroll costs for engineering personnel and costs associated with various projects, including testing, developing prototypes and related expenses. Research and development expenses are incurred only in our healthcare security and industrial segments.
Research and development expense was $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. As a percentage of revenue, research and development expense was 12.8% and 19.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Our healthcare security segment’s research and development expense decreased $0.5 million to approximately $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2007. The decrease in our healthcare security segment’s research and development expense was primarily due to a charge of $0.3 million related to the relocation of a component of our research and development efforts from Vancouver to Ottawa and the cost of duplicative staffing during the transition period in 2007.
Our industrial segment’s research and development expense was approximately $0.3 million for each of the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007.
Interest Expense
Interest expense was approximately $0.4 million for both the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007. During the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, the interest rate under our loan agreement with Digital Angel was 12% per annum.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2008, cash totaled $4.9 million compared to cash of approximately $7.2 million at December 31, 2007.
Cash Flows Used in Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities totaled $2.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007. For each of the periods presented, cash was used primarily to fund operating losses, and payments of accounts payable and accrued expenses.
Since our acquisitions of our Xmark businesses in the first half of 2005, we have generated operating cash flows from such operations that have partially funded our efforts to create a market for our VeriMed Health Link system. We expect to continue to generate significant net cash operating outflows for the foreseeable future in our VeriMed Health Link business as a result of our continuing investment in marketing and sales efforts related to that business. We expect that these net cash operating outflows will continue to be funded through cash flows generated by our Xmark operations. As a result, we expect that our consolidated statements of cash flows will reflect significant cash flows used in operating activities for at least through the end of 2009.
The components of our VeriMed Health Link system (i.e., scanners, insertion kits and the implantable microchips) are purchased as finished goods under the terms of our agreement with Digital Angel. The agreement imposes minimum purchase requirements as follows: $0 in 2007; $875,000 in 2008; $1,750,000 in 2009; $2,500,000 in 2010; $3,750,000 in 2011; and $3,750,000 in each year thereafter, subject to the parties reaching agreement on a different amount. Under the terms of the agreement, Digital Angel may not supply human implantable microchips to other parties if we meet the minimum purchase requirements. If sales of the implantable microchip do not materialize or do not reach the level of the applicable minimum purchase requirement in any year, we intend to satisfy the minimum purchase requirements nonetheless. In such event, our inventory of implantable microchips will increase. We believe that we will have sufficient liquidity to meet the minimum purchase requirements under the agreement through 2008.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Investing activities used cash of $0.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, which was used to purchase equipment.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Financing activities provided cash of $1.2 million and $13.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. In the three months ended March 31, 2008, cash of $6.5 million was provided from net borrowings, mainly from the $8.0 million Laurus financing, offset by $1.5 million used to pay our credit agreement with the Royal Bank of Canada. In March 31, 2007, cash of $0.4 million was provided from net borrowings under our credit agreement with the Royal Bank of Canada. Cash of $(5.6) million and $(2.2) million, net of borrowings of $1.3 million, was paid to Digital Angel in the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2007, cash of $15.8 million was provided from our initial public offering, net of underwriting fees and offering costs.
Credit Facilities
Prior to the date of our initial public offering, which was consummated on February 14, 2007, we financed a significant portion of our operations and investing activities primarily through funds that Digital Angel provided. As of March 31, 2008, we were indebted to Digital Angel in the amount of $7.6 million.
Through October 5, 2006, our loan with Digital Angel bore interest at the prevailing prime rate of interest as published by The Wall Street Journal , which as of September 30, 2006 was 8.25% per annum. On October 6, 2006, we entered into an amendment to the loan agreement which increased the principal amount available thereunder to $13.0 million and we borrowed an additional $2.0 million under the agreement to make the second purchase price payment with respect to our acquisition of Instantel Inc. In connection with that amendment, the interest rate was also changed to a fixed rate of 12% per annum. That amendment further provided that the loan matured on July 1, 2008, but could be extended at the option of Digital Angel through December 27, 2010.

On January 19, 2007, February 8, 2007 and February 13, 2007, we entered into further amendments to the loan documents, which increased the maximum principal amount of indebtedness that we may incur to $14.5 million. A portion of this increase was used to cover approximately $0.7 million of intercompany advances made to us by Digital Angel during the first week of January 2007. Upon the consummation of our initial public offering in February 2007, the loan ceased to be a revolving line of credit, and we have no ability to incur additional indebtedness under the loan documents. The interest continues to accrue on the outstanding indebtedness at a rate of 12% per annum. On February 14, 2007, the closing date of our initial public offering, we were indebted to Digital Angel in the amount of $15.1 million, including $1.0 million of accrued interest and, in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement as most recently amended on February 13, 2007, we used $3.5 million of the net proceeds of our initial public offering to repay a portion of our indebtedness to Digital Angel upon consummation of our initial public offering. Effective with the payment of the $3.5 million, all interest which accrues on the loan as of the last day of each month, commencing with February 2007, is added to the principal amount. A final balloon payment equal to the outstanding principal amount then due under the loan plus all accrued and unpaid interest will be due and payable on February 1, 2010.
The loan with Digital Angel is subordinated to our obligations under our credit agreement with Valens Offshore SPV II, Corp., which is discussed below, and is collateralized by security interests in all of our property and assets, except as otherwise encumbered by the rights of Valens Offshore SPV II, Corp.
We entered into the December 2007 Letter Agreement, which was subsequently amended February 29, 2008, as is discussed below, with Digital Angel pursuant to which we prepaid $0.5 million of principal and in exchange received an option, through October 2008, to prepay the Digital Angel indebtedness for $10.0 million, less the $0.5 million paid and less any additional principal payments made subsequent to October 1, 2007, plus any accrued and unpaid interest.
On February 29, 2008, we closed an $8.0 million debt financing (the “Agreement”) with Valens Offshore SPV II, Corp. (the “Lender”). Under the terms of the Agreement, the Lender extended financing to us in the form of an $8.0 million secured term note (the “Note”). The Note bears interest at a rate of 12% per annum, and has a maturity date of March 31, 2009. The terms of the Note allow for optional redemption by paying 100% of the principal amount plus $120,000, if such amounts are paid prior to the six month anniversary of February 29, 2008, or $240,000, if such amounts are paid on or after the six month anniversary of February 29, 2008. Pursuant to the Agreement, we issued to the Lender 120,000 shares of our common stock.
We used part of the proceeds of the financing with the Lender to prepay $5.3 million of debt owed to Digital Angel. In connection with the financing, we entered into a letter agreement with Digital Angel, dated February 29, 2008, under which we agreed, among other things, to prepay the $5.3 million to Digital Angel, and to amend the December 2007 Letter Agreement, to provide that we will have until October 30, 2008 to prepay in full the entire outstanding principal amount to Digital Angel by paying to Digital Angel $10 million, less the $500,000 paid pursuant to the December 2007 Letter Agreement, less the $5.3 million paid in connection with this financing, less other principal payments made to reduce the outstanding principal amount between the date of the December 2007 Letter Agreement and the date of such prepayment, plus any accrued and unpaid interest between October 1, 2007 and the date of such prepayment. As a result of the $5.3 million payment, we will not be required to make any further debt service payments to Digital Angel until September 1, 2009. If we pay Digital Angel and additional $4.2 million, plus accrued interest, prior to October 30, 2008, we will be discharged from our remaining obligation to Digital Angel.
Our subsidiaries, VHI and Xmark, entered into a credit facility dated March 15, 2006 with the Royal Bank of Canada, or RBC, providing for up to CDN$1.5 million, or approximately $1.5 million based on the exchange rate as of December 31, 2007, of revolving credit loans, provided that outstanding borrowings under the facility could not exceed at any time an amount determined by reference to eligible accounts receivable plus eligible inventory, in each case as defined in the agreement, of VHI, or CDN$3.8 million at December 31, 2007. At December 31, 2007, $1.5 million was outstanding under the facility. The facility was not a committed facility as it provided that loans were made available to VHI at the sole discretion of RBC and that RBC may cancel or restrict the availability or any unutilized portion thereof at any time or from time to time.

Borrowings could be made in either Canadian or U.S. dollars, were repayable on demand, as a result of which outstanding borrowings under the facility are reflected as current liabilities in our consolidated financial statements, and bear interest at a floating rate per annum equal to the Canadian or U.S. dollar prime rate, as applicable, announced by RBC from time to time, plus in each case 1%. The facility also provided for letters of credit and letters of guarantee denominated in Canadian dollars. Borrowings, letters of credit and letters of guarantee under the facility were secured by all of the assets of VHI and Xmark, and was guaranteed by Xmark in the amount of CDN$2.0 million. The loan agreements contained customary representations and warranties and events of default for loan arrangements of this type. In addition, the loan agreements contained customary covenants restricting VHI’s ability to, among other things, merge or enter into business combinations, create liens, or sell or otherwise transfer assets. The credit agreement was terminated on February 28, 2008.
Financial Condition
As of March 31, 2008, we had working capital of approximately $2.3 million and an accumulated deficit of $31.8 million compared to a working capital of approximately $6.7 million and an accumulated deficit of approximately $29.0 million as of December 31, 2007. The decrease in working capital was primarily due to operating losses in our implantable and corporate segments, described above.
We believe that with the cash we have on hand, our expected borrowing capacity under current and new bank facilities and operating cash flows we expect to generate, we will have sufficient funds available to cover our cash requirements, including capital expenditures, debt service requirements and the minimum purchase obligations under our supply agreement with Digital Angel, through the next twelve months. However, we will be required to generate funds to repay the Note to the Lender, through a combination of operating cash flow, stock issuances, including stock issuances of our common stock and/or third-party financings. Our historical sources of liquidity have included proceeds from the sale of common stock, proceeds from the issuance of debt, and proceeds from the exercise of stock options and warrants. In addition to these sources, other sources of liquidity may include the raising of capital through additional private placements or public offerings of debt or equity securities or proceeds from the sale of businesses. However, going forward some of these sources may not be available, or if available, they may not be on favorable terms.
Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In February 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position No. FAS 157-1 (“FSP FAS 157-1”), Application of FASB Statement No. 157 to FASB Statement No. 13 and Other Accounting Pronouncements That Address Fair Value Measurements for Purposes of Lease Classification or Measurement Under Statement 13 and Staff Position No. FAS 157-2 (“FSP FAS 157-2”), Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157 . FSP FAS 157-1 excludes Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 13 (“SFAS 13”), Accounting for Leases , as well as other accounting pronouncements that address fair value measurements on lease classification or measurement under SFAS 13 from the scope of SFAS 157. FSP FAS 157-2 delays the effective date of SFAS 157 for all nonrecurring fair value measurements of nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities until fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. Both FSP FAS 157-1 and FSP FAS 157-2 are effective upon an entity’s initial adoption of SFAS 157, which is the Company’s first quarter of fiscal year 2008. The Company does not expect the adoption of FSP SFAS 157-1 to have a material impact to its consolidated results of operations and financial position.
In March 2008, FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“FAS 161”). FAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures about an entity’s derivative and hedging activities and thereby improves the transparency of financial reporting. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about; (1) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (2) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities , and its related interpretations, and (3) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. This statement is effective for financial statement issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. Comparative disclosures for earlier periods at initial adoption is encouraged but not required. We have not yet determined the impact that this requirement may have on our condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows or financial statement disclosures.

Contractual Obligations
On February 29, 2008, the Company entered into the Agreement with the Lender. Under the terms of the Agreement, the Lender extended financing to the Company in the form of an $8.0 million secured term note, which bears interest at a rate of 12% per annum, and has a maturity date of March 31, 2009. The terms and conditions of the financing are further discussed above.
Our subsidiaries, VHI and Xmark, entered into a credit facility dated March 15, 2006 with the Royal Bank of Canada, or RBC, providing for up to CDN$1.5 million, or approximately $1.5 million based on the exchange rate as of December 31, 2007, of revolving credit loans, provided that outstanding borrowings under the facility could not exceed at any time an amount determined by reference to eligible accounts receivable plus eligible inventory, in each case as defined in the agreement, of VHI, or CDN$3.8 million at December 31, 2007. The credit agreement was terminated on February 28, 2008. The terms and conditions of the credit agreement are further discussed above.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
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. Our interest income is sensitive to changes in the general level of U.S. interest rates, particularly since our investments are short-term.
Due to the nature of our short-term investments, we have concluded that there is no material market risk exposure and, therefore, no quantitative tabular disclosures are required.
The table below presents the principal amount, including accrued interest, and weighted-average interest rate for our debt portfolio:
         
    March 31, 2008  
    (dollars in thousands)  
Digital Angel Note
  $ 7,595  
Valens Note
  $ 8,000  
Weighted-average interest rate for the three months ended March 31, 2008
    12.0 %
A portion of our Canadian subsidiaries’ operational accounts are denominated in local currency and are translated into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rate for each reporting period. In the three months ended March 31, 2008, we recorded approximately $0.1 million of net foreign currency gains in our consolidated statements of operations related to debt borrowings and payments.
A 10% change in the applicable foreign exchange rates would result in an increase or decrease in our foreign currency gains and losses and translation adjustments of approximately $0.2 million.
The estimated fair value of our indebtedness to Digital Angel is not reasonably determinable due to the related party nature of the instrument.

Item 4T. Controls and Procedures.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls . We evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our “disclosure controls and procedures” as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) as of March 31, 2008. This evaluation (the “disclosure controls evaluation”) was done under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our chief executive officer (“CEO”) and chief financial officer (“CFO”). Rules adopted by the SEC require that in this section of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q we present the conclusions of the CEO and CFO about the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2008 based on the disclosure controls evaluation.
Objective of Controls. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed so that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Our disclosure controls and procedures are also intended to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives, and management necessarily is required to use its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures.
Conclusion . Based upon the disclosure controls evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that, as of March 31, 2008, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that the foregoing objectives are achieved.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2008 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
