VERICHIP
CORPORATION
Notes
to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Business and Basis of Presentation
VeriChip Corporation (the Company, 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.
The Company has historically developed, marketed, and sold radio frequency identification
(frequently referred to as RFID) systems used for the identification and protection of people in
the healthcare market. The Companys VeriMed Health Link system uses the human-implantable passive
RFID microchip that is used in patient identification applications, securely linking a patient to
their personal health record as maintained in the Companys proprietary database. Each implantable
Health Link microchip contains a unique verification number that is read when it is scanned by the
Companys scanner. In October 2004, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, cleared the
Companys VeriMed Health Link system for use in medical applications in the United States.
On March 5, 2009, the Company established a new division to evaluate clean and alternative
energy companies for potential strategic transactions or investment and as a result established a
new subsidiary, VeriGreen Energy Corporation. The Company incurred
costs of $0.3 million, primarily consisting of transaction costs
related to the evaluation of several strategic opportunities and
organization costs.
On March 17, 2009, the Company entered into an exclusive development and supply agreement with
Medical Components, Inc. (Medcomp). Pursuant to the agreement, the Company will develop and
manufacture a new, smaller RFID microchip, and Medcomp will purchase the microchip from the Company
for inclusion in Medcomps vascular access product lines. The initial term of the agreement is from
March 17, 2009 until five years after the later to occur of (i) the microchip being ready for
production, or (ii) 510k approval of the microchip by the FDA. The Company will receive a product
development fee for the timely development of the new microchip, and Medcomp will have certain
minimum purchase requirements during the term of the agreement. If all of the minimum purchase
requirements are met, the total value of the contract will exceed $3 million. Additionally, Medcomp
will be responsible for obtaining any necessary regulatory approvals
for use of the product. Subsequent to March 31, 2009, the Company
completed the product development and received the fee relating to
the arrangement. The fee, net of incurred expenses, resulted in
nominal net cash inflow for the Company.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company and its
subsidiaries as of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 (the December 31, 2008, financial
information included in this report has been extracted from the Companys audited financial
statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the year ended December 31,
2008), and for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 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 GAAP 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. Certain
items in the March 31, 2008 periods have been reclassified for comparative purposes.
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, 2009 and 2008 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 the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2008.

Stock-Based Compensation
(tabular
information in thousands)
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 Companys 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.
The
Company recorded compensation expense, related to stock options, of approximately $2 and $123 for
the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
In December 2008, the Company authorized the grant of approximately 518 shares of its
restricted common stock to Mr. Caragol, its acting chief financial officer in lieu of salary. The
shares vest according to the following schedule: (i) 20% vested on the grant date, and (ii) 80%
shall vest on January 1, 2010. In the event of a change in control and if Mr. Caragol is
terminated without cause, the shares will immediately vest. The shares are subject to forfeiture in
the event Mr. Caragol is terminated for cause. Compensation expense of $146 was recorded in the
three months ended March 31, 2009 for these shares.
In December 2008, the Company authorized the grant of 602 shares of its restricted common
stock to Mr. Silverman, its executive chairman in lieu of salary. If Mr. Silverman remains involved
in the day-to-day management of the Company, the shares will vest upon the earlier to occur of:
(i) January 1, 2010, or (ii) a change in control of the Company. The shares are subject to
forfeiture in the event that Mr. Silverman fails to remain involved in the day-to-day management of
the Company. Compensation expense of $55 was recorded in the three months ended March 31, 2009 for
these shares.
In December 2008, the Company issued 400 shares of its restricted common stock to members of
the board of directors, which vest on January 1, 2010. The Company determined the value of the
stock to be approximately $100 based on the value of its common stock 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 $36 in the three months
ended March 31, 2009 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 Companys 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. The
Companys computation of expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Companys
comparable companies average historical volatility.
2. Principles of Consolidation
The financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned
subsidiaries. All significant inter-company transactions and balances had been eliminated in
consolidation.

The Black-Scholes model, which the Company used to determine compensation expense, required
the Company to make several key judgments including:
|
|
|
the value of the Companys common stock;
|
|
|
|
|
the expected life of issued stock options;
|
|
|
|
|
the expected volatility of the Companys 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 and its best estimation of future conditions.

6. Income Taxes
The Company had an effective tax rate of nil for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and
2008. The Company incurred losses before taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008.
However, its has not recorded a tax benefit for the resulting U.S. net operating loss
carryforwards, as the Company has determined that a valuation allowance against its net U.S.
deferred tax assets was appropriate based primarily on its 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.
|
The implementation of FIN 48 did not result in any adjustment to the Companys 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 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,
2009 and 2008, there was no such interest or penalty.
7. 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 Companys operating
results, liquidity or financial position.
9
Artigliere
On July 8, 2008, a lawsuit was filed against the Company and Digital Angel by Jerome C.
Artigliere, a former executive of the Company and Digital Angel. The lawsuit was filed in the
Circuit Court of the 15th Judicial Circuit in Palm Beach County, Florida, and alleged that
Mr. Artigliere held options to acquire 950,000 shares of the Companys common stock at an exercise
price of $0.05 per share and that he was denied the right to exercise those options. The complaint
alleged causes of action for breach of contract against the Company and Digital Angel, sought
declaratory judgments clarifying Mr. Artiglieres alleged contractual rights, and sought an
injunction enjoining the vote of the stockholders at special meeting of our shareholders that took
place on July 17, 2008, on the sale of Xmark. On September 12, 2008, Mr. Artigliere amended his
complaint to add a claim for unpaid wages against the Company and Digital Angel and to add related
claims against several former officers and directors of the Company and Digital Angel.
On March 3, 2009, the Company entered into a settlement agreement and general release related
to the Artigliere lawsuit. Under the settlement agreement, the Company agreed, among other things,
to issue shares of its common stock to Mr. Artigliere or his designees valued at $250,000.
Additionally, the Companys obligation under the settlement agreement includes a payment to Mr.
Artigliere of $275,000. The Company previously accrued
$0.3 million in conjunction with this matter at
December 31, 2008. The settlement agreement also contains
a confidentiality clause, which if breached could give the Company the ability to reclaim amounts
from Plaintiff.
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 and by repudiating the agreements. 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 three international distribution
agreements by later signing a different distribution agreement with a large distributor of medical
supplies. Metro Risk alleged that the distribution agreement with this other distributor included
the same areas covered in the Companys three international distribution agreements with Metro
Risk. Moreover, regarding its claim for fraud in the inducement, Metro Risk alleged that the
Company fraudulently induced Metro Risk into signing the three international distribution
agreements by promising millions of dollars in profits, only later to sign another distribution
agreement with a competitor for the same countries. By virtue of its counterclaim, Metro Risk seeks
reliance damages in the amount of $155,000, which allegedly represents the amount of money advanced
by Metro Risk for the project, lost profits, and attorneys fees. On July 23, 2008, the court
granted a motion for summary judgment filed by the Company on Metro Risks counterclaim, and thus
denied Metro Risks counterclaim. Metro Risk may appeal the decision. The Court has also previously
granted summary judgment on the issue of Metro Risks liability for breaching the three
international distribution agreements. Therefore, at present, the remaining issue in the lawsuit is
the Companys damages resulting from Metro Risks breach of the three international distribution
agreements. The parties have taken minimal discovery at the present time. Metro Risk has propounded
no discovery on the Company, and the Company has propounded a request for production and a request
for admissions on Metro Risk. The parties have not taken any depositions. Given the potential for
an appeal, counsel is currently unable to assess the ultimate outcome.
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 Companys business, financial condition and operating results.
8. Related Party Transactions
Agreements with Steel Vault
The Company shares a common ownership, or control group, with Steel Vault Corporation (Steel
Vault) a public company, formerly known as IFTH Acquisition
Corp. R & R Consulting Partners, LLC, a holding company owned and controlled by Scott R. Silverman, and
Mr. Silverman currently own on a combined basis, approximately 50% of the Companys outstanding
common stock. As of May 7, 2009, R & R Consulting Partners, LLC and Mr. Silverman owned, directly
or indirectly, approximately 43% of Steel Vaults outstanding common stock, including
the 2,570,000 shares that are directly owned by Blue Moon Energy Partners LLC (Blue Moon).
Mr. Silverman, the Companys executive chairman of the board, is a manager and controls a member of
Blue Moon (i.e., R & R Consulting Partners, LLC). William J. Caragol, the Companys acting chief
financial officer, acting treasurer and secretary, is also a manager and member of Blue Moon.
10
On October 8, 2008, Steel Vault entered into a sublease with Digital Angel for its corporate
headquarters located in Delray Beach, Florida, consisting approximately 7,911 feet of office space,
which space the Company shares with Steel Vault. The rent for the entire twenty-one-month term of
the sublease is $158,000, which Steel Vault paid in one lump sum upon execution of the sublease.
The Company reimbursed Steel Vault for one-half of the sublease payment, representing the Companys
share of the total cost of the sublease. In addition, in order to account for certain shared
services and resources, the Company and Steel Vault operate under a shared services agreement, in
connection with which Steel Vault currently pays the Company $8,000 a month.

effects of competition and the projected growth of the industries in which we operate. This
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q also contains forward-looking statements attributed to third parties
relating to their estimates regarding the size of the future market for products and systems such
as our products and systems, and the assumptions underlying such estimates. Forward-looking
statements include all statements that are not historical facts and can be identified by
forward-looking statements such as may, might, should, could, will, intends,
estimates, predicts, projects, potential, continue, believes, anticipates, plans,
expects and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are only predictions based on our
current expectations and projections, or those of third parties, about future events and involve
risks and uncertainties.
Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements
contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are based upon reasonable assumptions, no assurance
can be given that such expectations will be attained or that any deviations will not be material.
In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking statements, events and
circumstances discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may not occur and actual results
could differ materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking
statements. Important factors that could cause our actual results, level of performance or
achievements to differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in, or implied by, the
forward-looking statements we make in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are discussed under Item
1A. Risk Factors and elsewhere in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2008 and include:
|
|
|
our ability to continue listing our common stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market (Nasdaq);
|
|
|
|
|
our ability to successfully consider, review, and if appropriate, implement other strategic opportunities;
|
|
|
|
|
our expectation that we will incur losses, on a consolidated basis, for the foreseeable future;
|
|
|
|
|
our ability to fund our operations;
|
|
|
|
|
we may become subject to costly product liability claims and claims that our products infringe the
intellectual property rights of others;
|
|
|
|
|
our ability to comply with current and future regulations relating to our businesses;
|
11
|
|
|
uncertainty as to whether a market for our VeriMed Heath Link system will develop and whether we will be
able to generate more than a nominal level of revenue from this business;
|
|
|
|
|
the potential for patent infringement claims to be brought against us asserting that we hold no rights
for the use of the implantable microchip technology and that we are violating another partys
intellectual property rights. If such a claim is successful, we could be enjoined from engaging in
activities to market the systems that utilize the implantable microchip and be required to pay
substantial damages;
|
|
|
|
|
market acceptance of our VeriMed Health Link system, which will depend in large part on the future
availability of insurance reimbursement for the VeriMed Health Link system microchip implant procedure
from government and private insurers, and the timing of such reimbursement, if it, in fact, occurs;
|
|
|
|
|
our ability to provide uninterrupted, secure access to the VeriMed database; and
|
|
|
|
|
our ability to establish and maintain proper and effective internal accounting and financial controls.
|
You should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. In addition, past
financial or operating performance is not necessarily a reliable indicator of future performance,
and you should not use our historical performance to anticipate future results or future period
trends. 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 for the year ended December 31,
2008. 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.
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations
should be read in conjunction with the accompanying financial statements and related notes included
in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as well as our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 2008.
We have historically developed, marketed, and sold radio frequency identification (frequently
referred to as RFID) systems used for the identification and protection of people in the healthcare
market. Our VeriMed Health Link system uses the human-implantable passive RFID microchip that is
used in patient identification applications, securely linking a patient to their personal health
record as maintained in the our proprietary database. Each implantable Health Link microchip
contains a unique verification number that is read when it is scanned by our scanner. In
October 2004, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, cleared our VeriMed Health Link system
for use in medical applications in the United States.
Recent Developments
In March 2009, the Company established a new division to evaluate clean and alternative energy
companies for potential strategic transactions or investment and as a result established a new
subsidiary, VeriGreen Energy Corporation (VeriGreen).
On March 17, 2009, we entered into an exclusive development and supply agreement with Medcomp.
Pursuant to the agreement, we will develop and manufacture a new, smaller RFID microchip, and
Medcomp will purchase the microchip from us for inclusion in Medcomps vascular access product
lines. The initial term of the agreement is from March 17, 2009 until five years after the later to
occur of (i) the microchip being ready for production, or (ii) 510k approval of the microchip by
the FDA. We received a product development fee for the timely development of the new microchip,
and Medcomp will have certain minimum purchase requirements during the term of the agreement. If
all of the minimum purchase requirements are met, the total value of the contract will exceed $3
million. Additionally, Medcomp will be responsible for obtaining any necessary regulatory approvals
for use of the product.
We continue to focus on both our healthcare business including our VeriMed Health Link
business, and the possible development of the glucose sensing microchip, and strategic
opportunities in the clean and alternative energy sectors.
Results of Operations
Through March 31, 2009, 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 may become a significant
part of our revenue, although there can be no assurance that they will.
During 2008 and 2009, we marketed our VeriTrace system, which uses our implantable microchip
and wirelessly integrates with a Ricoh
®
digital camera for accurate identification of
human and associated evidentiary items.
During the three months ended March 31, 2009, we focused our resources on the process of
evaluating the timing and nature of our future investments and expenditures related to our VeriMed
Health Link, VeriTrace and VeriGreen businesses. During this time we have undertaken a cost
reduction program to maximize the amount of capital that we will have available to pursue business
opportunities in the healthcare and energy sectors.
Three Months Ended March 31, 2009 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2008
Revenue
Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 were $8,000 and $4,000,
respectively primarily from the sale of our VeriTrace systems.
13
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 decreased $1.9 million to $1.4 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2009 as compared to $3.3 million for the three months ended March 31,
2008. The decrease was a result of staff reductions and reduction in other overhead costs most
significantly in the areas of sales and marketing. During the three months ended March 31, 2009,
we incurred $0.3 million related to legal settlements and $0.2 million related to transactional
costs related to the evaluation of several strategic opportunities.
During the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, we incurred stock-based compensation
expense of $0.2 million and $0.9 million, respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2009, unrestricted cash totaled $2.2 million compared to unrestricted cash of
approximately $3.2 million at December 31, 2008. As of March 31, 2009, we also had restricted cash
of $4.5 million, which supports a twelve month escrow agreement with The Stanley Works, stemming
from our sale of Xmark Corporation, our wholly-owned Canadian subsidiary. The escrow period
expires July 18, 2009.
Cash Flows Used in Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities totaled $1.0 million and $2.6 million during the three
months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. For each of the periods presented, cash was
used primarily to fund operating losses, and payments of accounts payable and accrued expenses, as
well as cash used to fund discontinued operations.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Investing activities used cash of $4,000 and $72,000 during the three months ended March 31,
2009 and 2008, respectively, which was used to purchase equipment, partially offset in 2008 by cash
inflows related to discontinued operations investing activity.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Financing activities provided cash of nil and $0.4 million during the three months ended
March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. In the three months ended March 31, 2008, cash of $6.5
million was provided from net borrowings, primarily from an $8.0 million financing, offset by
$1.5 million used to pay debt for our discontinued operations. Cash of $5.6 million, net of
borrowings of $1.3 million, was paid to Digital Angel in the three months ended March 31, 2008 to
repay long term debt.
Financial Condition
As of March 31, 2009, we had working capital of approximately $1.4 million and an accumulated
deficit of $43.5 million compared to a working capital of approximately $2.3 million and an
accumulated deficit of approximately $42.1 million as of December 31, 2008. The decrease in working
capital was primarily due to operating losses, described
above.
We believe that with the cash we have on hand and the restricted cash, we will have sufficient
funds available to cover our cash requirements through the next twelve months.
Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In December 2007, FASB issued
SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial
Statements an
amendment of ARB No. 51 (SFAS 160). This statement amends ARB 51 to establish
accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a
subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a
noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the
consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated
financial statements. In addition, SFAS 160 changes the way the consolidated
income statement is presented by requiring consolidated net income to be
reported at amounts that include the amounts attributable to both the parent and
the noncontrolling interest. This statement also establishes a single method of
accounting for changes in a parents ownership interest in a subsidiary that do
not result in deconsolidation and requires that a parent recognize a gain or
loss in net income when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. This statement is
effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years,
beginning on or after December 15, 2008 and earlier adoption is prohibited. SFAS
160 shall be applied prospectively as of the beginning of the fiscal year in
which this statement is initially applied, except for the presentation and
disclosure requirement which shall be applied retrospectively for all periods
presented. The adoption of SFAS 160 had no impact on the
Companys condensed financial position, results of operations, cash flows or
financial statement disclosures.
14
In
December 2007, FASB issued SFAS No. 141R, Business Combinations
(SFAS 141R). SFAS 141R replaces SFAS Statement No. 141 Business
Combinations but retains the fundamental requirements in FASB 141. This
statement defines the acquirer as the entity that obtains control of one or more
businesses in the business combination and establishes the acquisition date as
the date that the acquirer achieves control. SFAS 141R also requires that an
acquirer recognized the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any
noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date, measured at
their fair values as of that date. In addition, this statement requires that the
acquirer in a business combination achieved in stages to recognize the
identifiable assets and liabilities, as well as the noncontrolling interest in
the acquiree, at the full amounts of their fair values. SFAS 141R is
applied prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is
on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or
after December 15, 2008. An entity may not apply the standard before that
date. SFAS 141R will be applied prospectively for acquisitions beginning
in 2009 or thereafter. The Company expensed $0.2 million of due diligence
costs relating to a potential acquisition target during the period ended March
31, 2009.
In May 2008, FASB issued Statement 163, Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance
Contracts. This new standard clarifies how FAS Statement No. 60,
Accounting and Reporting by
Insurance Enterprises
, applies to financial guarantee insurance contracts issued by insurance
enterprises, including the recognition and measurement of
premium revenue and claim liabilities. It also requires expanded disclosures about financial
guarantee insurance contracts. The Statement is effective for financial statements issued for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS 163 to have
any impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
As a Smaller Reporting Company, we are not required to provide the information required by
this item.
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, 2009. This evaluation (the
disclosure controls evaluation) was done under the supervision and with the participation of
management, including the person(s) performing the function of 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, 2009 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 SECs 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, 2009, 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, 2009 that have materially affected, or are reasonably
likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1.
Legal Proceedings.
The information set forth in Note 7 to the Condensed Financial Statements in Part I, Item I is
incorporated herein by reference.
Item 1A.
Risk Factors.
We have failed to meet applicable Nasdaq Stock Market requirements. As a result, our stock could be
delisted by the Nasdaq Stock Market. If delisting occurs, it would adversely affect the market
liquidity of our common stock and harm our businesses.
On October 21, 2008, we received a letter from Nasdaq indicating that we are not in compliance
with the Nasdaqs requirements for continued listing because, for the 30 consecutive business days
prior to October 16, 2008, the bid price of our common stock closed below the minimum $1.00 per
share price requirement for continued listing under Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5450 (the Rule) and,
our common stock had not maintained a minimum market value of publicly held shares (MVPHS) of
$5 million as required for continued inclusion by the Rule. On November 17, 2008, we received a
notice from Nasdaq indicating that our stockholders equity at September 30, 2008 was less than the
$10 million in stockholders equity required for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Market
under Marketplace Rule 5450(b)(1)(A). In its notice, Nasdaq requested that we provide our plan to
achieve and sustain compliance with the continued listing requirements of The Nasdaq Global Market,
including the minimum stockholders equity requirement, before December 2, 2008, which we complied
with. On February 27, 2009, we filed an application to transfer the listing of our common stock
from the Nasdaq Global Market to the Nasdaq Capital Market.
On March 5, 2009, we received a notice from Nasdaq indicating that we had not evidenced
compliance with the $10 million in stockholders equity requirement for continued listing on the
Nasdaq Global Market under Marketplace Rule 5450(b)(1)(A), and that we do not currently meet the
requirements for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market because our stockholders equity at
December 31, 2008 of $2.4 million is below the $2.5 million requirement under Marketplace Rule
5550(b). As a result, our securities are subject to delisting. We appealed the Nasdaq staffs
determination and requested an oral hearing before a Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel, which
temporarily stayed the delisting of our common stock. Our hearing took place on April 23, 2009 and
we expect to receive a determination from the Nasdaq within approximately 30 days regarding whether
we can transfer our listing to the Nasdaq Capital Market, based primarily on the $4.5 million
deferred gain, expected to be recognized in the next ninety days, currently recorded on our balance
sheet resulting from our sale of Xmark in July 2008.
Given the current market conditions, Nasdaq suspended enforcement of the bid price and market
value of publicly held shares requirements for all companies listed on Nasdaq through and including
Sunday, July 19, 2009. Following the reinstatement of these rules, and in accordance with
Marketplace Rule 5810(c)(3), we have 180 calendar days from Monday, July 20, 2009, or until January
16, 2010, to regain compliance with the bid price requirement. Following the reinstatement of these
rules, and in accordance with Marketplace Rule 5810(c)(3), we have 90 calendar days from July 20,
2009, or until October 18, 2009, to regain compliance with the market value requirements. The
Nasdaq has extended the suspension of the rules three times in the last twelve months and may
decide to extend the suspended bid price and market cap requirements, given current market
conditions.
If, at anytime before January 16, 2010, including during the suspension period, the bid price
of our common stock closes at $1.00 per share or more for a minimum of ten (10) consecutive
business days, the Nasdaq staff will provide written notification that we have achieved compliance
with the Rule. However, if we do not regain compliance with the Rule by January 16, 2010, the
Nasdaq staff will provide written notification that our securities will be delisted. At that time,
we may appeal the Nasdaq staffs determination to delist our securities to a Listing Qualifications
Panel.
If, at anytime before October 18, 2009, the MVPHS of our common stock is $5,000,000 or greater
for a minimum of ten (10) consecutive trading days, the Nasdaq staff will provide written
notification that we comply with the Rule. If compliance with the Rule cannot be demonstrated by
October 18, 2009, the Nasdaq staff will provide written notification that our securities will be
delisted. At that time, we may appeal the Nasdaq staffs determination to a Listing Qualifications
Panel.
16
If our common stock is delisted from the Nasdaq Stock Market, trading of our common stock most
likely will be conducted in the over-the-counter market on an electronic bulletin board established
for unlisted securities, such as the OTC Bulletin Board. Delisting would adversely affect the
market liquidity of our common stock and harm our business and may hinder or delay our ability to
consummate potential strategic transactions or investments. Such delisting could also adversely
affect our ability to obtain financing for the continuation of our operations and could result in
the loss of confidence by investors, suppliers and employees.
We intend to develop a renewable energy business, a line of business in which we have limited
experience, from which we may never recover our investment or realize a profit.
After several months of examining a variety of opportunities in the energy sector, we
established a new division to evaluate clean and alternative energy companies for potential
strategic transactions or investment and as a result established a new subsidiary, VeriGreen.
Following the enactment of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, which will invest
nearly $79 billion in renewable energy, energy efficiency and green transportation, we intend to
invest in clean and alternative energy businesses to complement our existing healthcare
initiatives.
We have limited experience in the renewable energy sector. In addition to our capital
investment, our managements focus will also be directed towards this new business. We are
presently, and will likely continue to be for some time, able to rely only upon our current
management and directors for assistance in executing our business plan. While these individuals are
highly experienced in business generally they have limited experience in the renewable energy
industry. This lack of experience may hinder our ability to fully implement our business plan in a
timely and cost efficient manner, which, in turn, may adversely affect our potential success and
profitability. There can be no assurance that we will recover our investment in this new business,
that we will realize a profit from this new business or that diverting our managements attention
to this new business will not have an adverse effect on our existing VeriMed Health Link business,
any of which results may have an adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition
and prospects.
Item 5. Other Information.
On May 8, 2009, we, as the sole stockholder of VeriGreen, and the board of directors of
VeriGreen approved and adopted the VeriGreen Energy Corporation 2009 Flexible Stock Plan (the
VeriGreen Plan), under which employees, including officers and directors, and consultants of
VeriGreen or an affiliate, including VeriChip, may receive awards. Awards under the VeriGreen Plan
include incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted
stock and cash awards. The purposes of the VeriGreen Plan are to attract and retain the best
available personnel for positions of substantial responsibility, to provide additional incentive to
employees and consultants, to promote the success of our and VeriGreens businesses and to link
participants directly to stockholder interests through increased stock ownership in VeriGreen.
The VeriGreen Plan may be administered by the entire VeriGreen board of directors or by a
compensation committee of the board of directors (the Administrator). Subject to the provisions
of the VeriGreen Plan, the Administrator has the power to determine the terms of each award
granted, including the exercise price, the number of VeriGreen shares subject to the award and the
exercisability thereof.
The aggregate number of shares of VeriGreen common stock that may be subject to awards under
the VeriGreen Plan, subject to adjustment upon a change in capitalization, is 3,000,000 shares.
Such shares of common stock may be authorized, but unissued, or reacquired shares of common stock.
Shares of common stock that were subject to VeriGreen Plan awards that expire or become
unexercisable without having been exercised in full shall become available for future awards under
the VeriGreen Plan.
The foregoing description of the VeriGreen Plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to
the actual terms of the VeriGreen Plan, which are filed with this Quarterly Report as Exhibit 10.3.
