ADSX Thread Nr. 36 - 500 Beiträge pro Seite (Seite 2)

[Phunxter]

Hoppla Also entweder war das die letzte (Verzweiflungs)-tat von ADSX, oder da steckt ein triftiger Grund dahinter! Ich glaube kaum, dass ADSX mehr Geld für gute Anwälte zur Verfügung hat, als IBM!!! Bin gespannt, wie sich der Kurs heute schlägt.....

[Phunxter]

GAME OVER ADSX hat sich mit diesem Press-Release die Schlinge, die schon um den Hals lag, wohl selbst zugezogen. Normal heißt es ja "Buy on Bad News", aber hier hilft wohl kein Hoffen und Beten mehr. Ich verabschiede mich damit auch hier aus dem Forum. Ich hoffe dass ich heute vor Toreschluss noch ein paar Cent rausholen kann. Ansonsten wünsche ich allen, die in den vergangenen Jahren mitgefiebert haben, viel Glück bei neuen Adventures.......Ciao!

ADSX verklagt IBM

Applied Digital Solutions Inc. (Nasdaq: ADSX): Der amerikanische “Technologieentwickler” Applied Digital Solutions (ADSX) hat IBM Credit und den Mutterkonzern IBM verklagt.

ADSX wirft IBM unerlaubtes Handeln, verschwörerische Betrugsabsichten und Vertragsbruch vor. Grund der Klage ist eine Zahlungsforderung in Höhe von 46,2 Mio. Dollar. IBM forderte die Summe von ADSX bis zum 6. März ein. Daraufhin trat ADSX mit IBM mit gutem Glauben in Verhandlungen über Änderungen des Kreditvertrages ein. Die Verhandlungen blieben jedoch ergebnislos. ADSX reichte die Klage nun ein, weil das Unternehmen der Meinung ist, daß IBM hat absichtlich die Verhandlungen scheitern lassen. IBM vergibt seit 1999 Kredite an ADSX.


ADSX entwickelte den GPS-Chip „Digital Angel“, der unter die Haut eingepflanzt werden kann und den Aufenthaltsort sowie weitere Daten übermitteln kann. Der Chip wird hauptsächlich von Rinderzüchtern verwendet. In den Vereinigten Staaten konnten Uhren mit eingebautem Chip bestellt werden, um Eltern über den Aufenthaltsort ihrer Kinder Klarheit zu verschaffen. Die Technologie gab christlichen Fundamentalisten und Verschwörungstheoretikern in Amerika einiges an Material für apokalyptische Schreckensszenarien vom totalen Überwachungsstaat.


Der Aktienkurs von ADSX brach am Freitag an der Nasdaq um 23 Prozent ein. (jwd)

[puscher]

Hallo Leidensgenossen,

ist jetzt alles aus?
Ich habe zwar meine shares verkauft, werde adsx aber weiter eng verfolgen.
Vielleicht kann man doch wieder einsteigen.
Es bleiben noch einige Fragen offen:
Warum saust der Kurs eigentlich nicht noch schneller in den Keller?
Kann man IBM mit der Klage irgendwie aufhalten oder etwas verzögern? Kannn ich mir nicht vorstellen:
IBM wird die DOC-shares versilbern können, und ADS ist dann nicht mehr viel wert.
Selbst wenn alle DOC-shares verkauft sind, ist die Schuld noch nicht beglichen.
Kann dann ADS weitermachen bis zum nächsten Fälligkeitstermin der nächsten Schuldensumme?
Kriegen sie überhaupt noch irgendwo Geld her, um ihre Produkte marktreif zu machen?
Wer leiht adsx jetzt noch Geld?
Wer kauft die offerierten 50 Mill. shares?
Wann beantragt adsx Gläubigerschutz?
Also es sieht grottenschlecht aus.
Ich habe mit neuen Kreditvereinbarungen gerechnet.
Warum jetzt IBM das Geld zurück haben will und bei einer Pleite doch nicht alles bekommen wird;-keine Ahnung.
Vielleicht schätzt IBMC die Sache wirklich aussichtslos ein und will retten, was zu retten geht.
Einzige wirklichkeitsfremde Spinnerei: IBMC und ADS betreiben ein abgekatertes Spiel, um den Kurs zu drücken und um dann billig ein zu steigen.
Die Hoffnung stirbt zu letzt.

[Zitterreinhold]

Schade Freunde,
wohl doch verzockt.
Verkauft habe ich heute noch nicht, der Kurs war mir zu schlecht und hat sich derzeit auch sonderbarerweise bei .19-.20 eingependelt. Bei der Meldung hätte doch eigentlich noch mehr kommen müssen, da habe ich schon andere Einbrüche erlebt. Ich denke es wird nächste Woche nochmal etwas besser aussehen und wenn keine Hammer-Good-News kommt bin ich dann wohl auch erst mal draußen.

Gruß

Hallo Leute,
wenn IBMc die im Trust gehaltenen Doc-shares (19 Mill.) versilbert, würden sie heute nur 22 Mill. $ bekommen.
Aber adsx würde die Kontrolle über DOC verlieren.
Die Erlöse von adsx betrugen in den ersten 9 Monaten 64 Mill.$, Doc hatte daran einen Anteil von 25 Mill.$.
Kann jetzt adsx noch überleben?
Außerdem ist der 5 Mill.$ Kredit von wells fargo für DOC gefährdet, wenn die shares von IBMC versilbert werden.
DOC braucht aber das Geld dringend um die laufenden Kosten zu begleichen.
Adieu cruel world

Jetzt bekommt die Sache eine neue Wendung:

Reuters
Applied Digital sues IBM over microchip
Friday March 7, 2:02 pm ET

NEW YORK, March 7 (Reuters) - Applied Digital Solutions Inc. (NasdaqSC:ADSX - News) on
Friday said it filed suit against International Business Machines Corp. (NYSE:IBM - News),
alleging that IBM was trying to take control of the rights to a microchip that can be implanted
under human skin.

Applied Digital, which has borrowed $77
million from IBM, alleged that the world`s
largest computer company is using its
position as its lender to take control of a
subsidiary that holds the intellectual
rights to the Verichip, which can be
embedded under the human skin and
read by a remote sensor.

That unit is the collateral in the loan
from IBM, on which Applied Digital just
missed a $46 million payment.

The Verichip, which was launched last
year, is used in security, financial,
emergency identification and other
applications. The U.S. Food and Drug
Adminstration warned the company last
year that it could not market the product for medical applications after opening an investigation.

The company also charged that IBM prevented Applied Digital from receiving funding from a
third party that would have enabled it to meet its loan obligations, according to a copy of the
lawsuit the company said was filed in Florida state court in Palm Beach County.

IBM spokesman Joe Stunkard declined to comment, saying that he had not seen the suit.

Applied Digital first missed a Feb. 28 payment deadline to IBM unit IBM Credit, with which it
has had a loan since 1999 and then was given a second deadline of March 6, which it also
missed.

Depending on the response from Armonk, New York-based IBM, the missed payment could
affect its ability to carry on business, Palm Beach, Florida-based Applied Digital said.

Applied Digital President Scott Sullivan said the company had filed a lawsuit seeking damages
from IBM in order to protect itself.

"We do have an obligation to protect the assets of the company and our shareholders from
what we view as corporate piracy," Sullivan said.

Applied Digital has not restructured the loan with IBM and Sullivan said he has not heard from
the company since filing the suit.

Applied Digital shares fell 30 percent, or 8 cents, to 19 cents on Nasdaq. IBM was up 30 cents,
or less than 1 percent, at $76.80.

Das Patent für das Innenleben vom verichip besitzt die Firma Destron, eine Tochter von DOC.
Kommt IBMC an die Patente ran, wenn sie die DOC-shares bekommen?
adieu

[puscher]

Jetzt wird die Sache verständlich.
Ibm ist scharf auf den verichip.
Ich glaube aber, adsx kann das mit der Klage nicht verhindern.
Sie haben doch selbst den Kreditvertrag unterschrieben und ihr bestes Filetstück als Pfand gegeben.
Auch dass sie keine Kredite von dritten Firmen aufnehmen dürfen, haben sie unterschrieben.Haben sie sich eigentlich den Vertrag richtig durch gelesen?
Aber ich kenne die amerikanischen Gesetze nicht. Vielleicht ist es verboten, wenn eine Kreditgeber auf diese Weise an die Patente eines Kunden kommt?
Vielleicht ist der Kreditvertrag deswegen nichtig?

Hier noch das wichtigste in Deutsch für unsere Freunde, die kein Englisch beherrschen:
Applied Digital verklagt IBM

Newssuche
WKN / Symbol / Stichwort





Applied Digital Solutions hat am Freitag bekannt gegeben, dass man ebenso wie SCO IBM verklagt habe. Applied will sich
damit gegen den Versuch IBMs wehren, eine Tochtergesellschaft des Unternehmens zu erlangen, die als Pfand für einen
IBM-Kredit gilt. Der Chipentwickler hat bei IBM insgesamt 77 Mio. Dollar Schulden, von denen vor kurzem 46 Mio. Dollar fällig
gewesen wären. Da der Schuldner der Zahlungsverpflichtung nicht nachgekommen ist, droht nun der Verlust der Rechte
am sogenannten Verichip. Es handelt sich dabei um einen Identifikationschip, der auch unter die Haut implantiert werden
kann, wogegen sich allerdings die US-Medizinbehörde FDA ausgesprochen hat.

Die eigentliche Klage gegen IBM argumentiert, dass der weltweit umsatzstärkste IT-Konzern Applied an der Finanzierung der
Mittel für die Rückzahlung der 46 Mio. Dollar gehindert haben soll. IBM könne nun das Unternehmen in die Pleite treiben und
so die wertvollsten Stücke sich aussuchen.

Die Aktien von IBM zeigen sich von den Klagen wenig beeindruckt und verlieren 0,51 Prozent auf 76.68 Dollar in einem

" Meiner Einschätzung nach wird es jetzt ein leises Abtauchen bis auf o.g. Zielkurs werden. Nichts mehr dramatisches a la 20 % downmoves."

So kann man sich irren...

#500

Hast du sie wenigstens alle zu .23 verkauft bekommen?
...und nicht weinen, es war nur Geld

Meiner Einschätzung nach sind heutige news eine Verzweiflungstat seitens ADSX da:

a.) sie das geforderte Kapital nicht haben und somit eben zum "Gegenangriff" übergehen
b.) sie neuen Raum für Spekulationen schaffen (was passiert wohl mit dem Kurs, wenn ADSX mit der Klage gegen IBM durchkommt...

Well, wer Zocken möchte, sollte ADSX die nächste Woche auf die WL nehmen...



MfG Dauphin

[Gurki]

Gratulation allen die bei 2$ damals verkauft haben .... ich könnte mir in den arsch beissen ..... hab somit 7000€ in den sand gesetzt

stimmt es ist nur geld .... aber es war hart verdient ....

[puscher]

Hi Leute ,
entschuldigt die wiederholten postings von vorhin,
es war nicht meine Schuld, sondern mein pc oder wallstreet.
MFG

[puscher]

Durchkommen wird adsx mit den Klagen nie,
auf jeden Fall sind sie vorher pleite.
Die Prozesse dauern lange und Kosten viel Geld.

Die Frage ist noch, ob IBM tatsächlich an der Technologie interessiert ist.
Die könnten doch den ganzen Laden aufkaufen, das bezahlen die doch mit der Portokasse.
Gute Nacht

[2000]

Hallo zusammen,

ich konnte meine zu .23 nicht loswerden. Das war es wohl für meine Position...oder ?

Wenn ADSX nächste Woche nicht CH11 anmeldet haben wir ne Chance. IM RB hat jemand sinngemäß geschrieben, das der super-mega-multi-welt Konzern IBM unser Patent will, wow, wie gut muss es sein ! Ich finde die Aussage sehr gut und freut mich aúch. Ich gebe die Hoffnung/Kamof nicht auf - Fight against IBM !

Wenn noch jemand mit gefangen ist können wir ja weiter diskutieren...

- ADSX muss bei keiner Alternative CH11 anmelden oder die SEC schreitet ein !

- IBM hat ADSX wohl an alternativen Finanzierungmitteln gehindert --> evtl. muss IBM nun ADSX ne neue Frist geben und die wiederum Geld suchen.

- der Kurs ist bei 0,18 ! Ch11 wäre dann das aus, wobei ein kleiner Cat bounce auf 0,25 immer drinn ist.

Es ist mal wieder super spannend, mal sehen ob die Medien mitspielen und IBM als bösen Buben titulieren und ADSX als das kleine unschuldige Mädchen...

Schönen Samstag noch

2000

[puscher]

Hallo Leute,
die neueste Diskussion ist, dass IBMC einr andere Firma (Trinity) davo abgehalten hat, sich bei adsx zu engagieren, wahrscheinlich wollten sie einen Teil der 50 Mill. Aktien kaufen.
Wenn dies der Fall ist, so ist das doch ein schwerer Verstoß, denn IBMC hätte sein Insiderwissen zum Schaden von adsx missbraucht.
So erscheint die Klage in einem anderen Licht. Allerdings leugnet Trinity, Interesse an adsx gehabt zu haben.

Noch was anderes: Wenn IBMC die shares von doc bekommt und versilbert, bleiben doch noch Schulden übrig. Muss die adsx dann außerdem zurückzahlen?
Das wäre wichtig, um beurteilen zu können, ob adsx überhaupt weiter machen kann. Immerhin werden sie Erlöse von 100Mill.$ pro Jahr haben (einschließlich doc. 30Mill.$)
Adios

[puscher]

Hi Leute,
eins steht fest, solange die Klage und die Rückzahlung der Schulden nicht geklärt ist,
wird es keine Verträge oder Verkäufe usw. geben.
Wer macht schon Verträge mit vom Bankrott bedrohten Firmen.
Ich glaube auch nicht, dass es mit Hilfe der Klage gelingt, IBM zu neuen Kreditvereinbarungen zu zwingen.
Da das Verhältnis zwischen IBMC und ADS zerrüttet ist, kommt wohl auch kein Vergleich in Frage.
Man kann vielleicht wegen des Ausnutzens von Insiderwissen Schadensersatz fordern, aber vor Abschluß des Verfahrens ist ADS pleite.
Auch muss ADS nachweisen, dass IBM primär vorhat, an die Technologie zu kommen und tatsächlich Trinity abgehalten hat, in adsx zu investieren.
Das wird schwer möglich sein.
Vielleicht kann ADS Gläubigerschutz beantragen und so eine Übernahme verhindern?

Gibt es noch eine Rettung?
Was meint ihr?

Applied Digital Solutions Settles Class Action Lawsuit
10 Mar 2003, 09:11am ET
PALM BEACH, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 10, 2003--Applied Digital
Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ:ADSX), an advanced technology development
company, announced today that it has reached a memorandum of
understanding to settle the pending and consolidated shareholder class
action lawsuit.
The settlement involved no admission of liability and will be
entirely covered by proceeds from insurance. The settlement is subject
to various conditions, including court approvals and approval of a
special litigation committee of the Company`s Board of Directors.

About Applied Digital Solutions, Inc.

On March 6, 2003, the Company filed a lawsuit against IBM Credit
LLC and IBM Corporation. According to the lawsuit, the causes of
action include: tortious interference with business relationships;
conspiracy to commit fraud/civil RICO; fraud, breach of good faith and
fair dealing; lender liability; and breach of the Florida Uniform
Trade Secrets Protection Act.
IBM Credit has been the Company`s lender since 1999. Under the
terms of the IBM credit agreement and a letter sent by IBM Credit last
week, IBM required payment of approximately $46.2 million by March 6,
2003. The Company did not make that payment. On March 7, 2003, the
Company received a letter from IBM declaring the loan in default and
indicating that IBM would exercise any and/or all of its remedies. If
IBM were to do so, there would be doubt that the Company would be able
to carry on business in the ordinary course. The lawsuit follows a
good faith attempt by the Company to negotiate a satisfactory
amendment to the credit agreement. The Company believes that its
offers in those negotiations were not accepted, in large part, for the
reasons set forth in the lawsuit.
Applied Digital Solutions is an advanced technology development
company that focuses on a range of life-enhancing, personal safeguard
technologies, early warning alert systems, miniaturized power sources
and security monitoring systems combined with the comprehensive data

Die Vorwürfe von ADS kann IBM LCC nicht auf sich sitzen lassen.
Ihre Reputation als Kreditgeber wäre dadurch gefährdet.
Sie werden voll zurück schlagen.

[Brainstorm01]

Moin zusammen,

ich hätte da mal noch eine Frage:

vor kurzem hat ADSX ja geäußert, dass 50 Mio. Aktien zu Kurzsen ab 0,50$ verkauft werden sollten - zu einem Zeitpunkt mal wieder kurz bevor die Zahlungen fällig gewesen wären. Für mich hat es den Anschein, als ob diese Aktien sozusagen nur für die Kredittilgung ausgegeben werden sollten.

Nun frage ich mich aber:
Im Moment, wenn man mal davon ausgeht, dass ADSX den Rechtsstreit nicht gewinnt und IBM alles liquidiert - auch den Trust mit den DOC-shares, dann würde IBM nicht mal annähernd die noch ausstehenden Schulden und Zinsen zurückbekommen.

Wäre es desshalb von seiten IBMs nicht eindeutig besser, wenn sie sozusagen mit ADSX neu verhandeln und sozusagen "nachgeben". Denn dann würde meiner Meinung nach der Kurs sehr schnell steigen und ich denke auch über 0,50$ und somit hätte ADSX schonmal mindestens 25 Mio $ (durch den Verkauf der 50 Mio Shares) und ADSX wäre dann auch objektiv wieder mehr Wert und zusätzlich würde bestimmt auch DOC steigen und somit der Trust wieder mehr Wert sein.

Ist nur meine Meinung. Da ich einfach finde - wenn IBM sozusagen nun einfach sagt: Es ist Schluss aus und vorbei, wir schauen nur noch was wir uns holen können, dann werden sie doch ziemlich lehr ausgehen.
Denn eins ist ja wohl klar: Wenn ADSX bei 1,00$ stehen würde und DOC bei 2,5 $ dann wäre zumindest für IBM doch alles im grünen Bereich und sie hätten dann an dem Kredit gut verdient.

Gruss
Brainy

[diegutefee]

Hallo braini,

dies wäre eine sehr kluge Entscheidung von IBM und alle
würden davon profitieren!

diegutefee

[puscher]

@brainy
Deine Annahme ist logisch, darum hatte auch ich mit einer Verlängerung des Kredits gerechnet.
Aber so ist es nun mal nicht gekommen.
IBM versetzt ADS den Todesschuss.
Zwei Gründe könnte es dafür geben:
Entweder schätzt IBM LCC die Lage bei ADS völlig hoffnungslos ein und will nun für sich retten, was noch zu retten ist,
(das Angebot von 50 Mill. Aktien ist wohl völlig unrealistisch und deutet nur auf eine Torschlusspanik bei ADS hin)
oder sie wollen billig an die chip-Technolgie kommen und DOC übernehmen.

Mal sehen, IBM LCC muss sich ja bald mal äußern. Ich glaube aber nicht, dass ihr Vorgehen ungesetzlich ist und somit hat die ADS-Klage keinen Erfolg.

Viele Grüße

Oder IBM will sich mit
50Mill. Aktien (0,10?)
eindecken.Und zögert noch.
Möglich oder nicht?

Moin zusammen,

ich weiss, dass es im Moment alles super trostlos und langweilig ist und zudem scheinen ja nicht mehr viele da zu sein - geht mir ja genauso.

Wäre aber trotzdem schön wenn mir jemand mal kurz weiterhelfen könnte.
Folgendes:
Neben der ganzen Vorsichherdümpelei von ADSX hab ich ganz vergessen, dass neben dem IBM-Kreditproblem, der Kurs ja auch unter der 1$ Marke ist. Also vergessen wir mal kurz das IBM-Problem --> wielange darf denn ADSX noch unter 1$ sein, ohne das es Konsequenzen nach sich zieht??

Danke im Voraus

Applied Digital Solutions Agrees to Forbearance Agreement with IBM Credit, LLC, the Company`s Senior Secured Lender

PALM BEACH, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 27, 2003-- Applied Digital Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq:ADSX - News), an advanced technology development company, announced today that it has agreed to the terms of a forbearance agreement with IBM Credit LLC, the Company`s senior secured lender, granting Applied Digital more favorable loan repayment terms and more time in which to meet its current obligations to IBM Credit.

Applied Digital: Aktie steigt nach Einigung mit IBM 37 Prozent
27.03.2003 17:24:00
Die Aktie des Technologieunternehmens Applied Digital gehört heute zu den größten Gewinnern an der Nasdaq. Dank einer Einigung, die mit IBM erzielt werden konnte, steigt das Papier 37 Prozent auf 29 Cents.

Anfang des Monats hatte Applied Digital eine Klage gegen IBM eingereicht. Applied wollte sich damit gegen den Versuch IBMs wehren, eine Tochtergesellschaft des Unternehmens zu erlangen, die als Pfand für einen IBM-Kredit gilt. Der Chipentwickler Applied Digital hat bei IBM insgesamt 95 Mio. Dollar Schulden, von denen vor kurzem 46 Mio. Dollar fällig gewesen wären.

Da der Schuldner der Zahlungsverpflichtung nicht nachgekommen ist, droht nun der Verlust der Rechte am sogenannten Verichip. Es handelt sich dabei um einen Identifikationschip, der auch unter die Haut implantiert werden kann, wogegen sich allerdings die US-Medizinbehörde FDA ausgesprochen hat. Die eigentliche Klage gegen IBM argumentiert, dass der weltweit umsatzstärkste IT-Konzern Applied an der Finanzierung der Mittel für die Rückzahlung der 46 Mio. Dollar gehindert haben soll.

Applied Digital: Aktie steigt nach Einigung mit IBM 37 Prozent
27.03.2003 17:24:00



Die Aktie des Technologieunternehmens Applied Digital gehört heute zu den größten Gewinnern an der Nasdaq. Dank einer Einigung, die mit IBM erzielt werden konnte, steigt das Papier 37 Prozent auf 29 Cents.
Anfang des Monats hatte Applied Digital eine Klage gegen IBM eingereicht. Applied wollte sich damit gegen den Versuch IBMs wehren, eine Tochtergesellschaft des Unternehmens zu erlangen, die als Pfand für einen IBM-Kredit gilt. Der Chipentwickler Applied Digital hat bei IBM insgesamt 95 Mio. Dollar Schulden, von denen vor kurzem 46 Mio. Dollar fällig gewesen wären.

Da der Schuldner der Zahlungsverpflichtung nicht nachgekommen ist, droht nun der Verlust der Rechte am sogenannten Verichip. Es handelt sich dabei um einen Identifikationschip, der auch unter die Haut implantiert werden kann, wogegen sich allerdings die US-Medizinbehörde FDA ausgesprochen hat. Die eigentliche Klage gegen IBM argumentiert, dass der weltweit umsatzstärkste IT-Konzern Applied an der Finanzierung der Mittel für die Rückzahlung der 46 Mio. Dollar gehindert haben soll.

Jetzt hat man sich mit IBM darauf verständigt, dass die Rückzahlungsbedingungen für den Kredit gelockert werden. Bis Juli wird Applied jetzt 30 Mio. Dollar zurück zahlen, die restlichen 65 Mio. Dollar werden dann in für Applied akzeptablen Raten gezahlt.

Applied Digital cuts IBM loan deal
By Ted Jackson, Palm Beach Post Staff Writer
Friday, March 28, 2003
PALM BEACH -- Applied Digital Solutions has agreed to drop a lawsuit filed against IBM in which it accused the venerable technology giant of surreptitiously seeking to gain control of key implantable-microchip patents.
In exchange, IBM agreed to restructure $95 million in loans to Applied Digital, allowing the technology company to avoid a possible bankruptcy. The complex terms give Applied Digital as much as another year to repay, but a clause stipulates that if just $30 million is paid within about 90 days that IBM will forgive the balance of the loan, Applied Digital said.
The struggling Palm Beach-based microchip concern also announced Thursday that longtime Chairman and Chief Executive Richard Sullivan has stepped down.
"Dick didn`t want to be here if IBM was still going to be around," said Scott Silverman, who has taken over the helm at Applied Digital, moving up from president to assume the titles of chairman and chief executive. "Dick is still a firm believer that IBM wanted to steal our technology."
Investors greeted the news of IBM`s loan forbearance by driving the shares of Applied Digital (Nasdaq: ADSX) up by about 50 percent Thursday to 32 cents per share.
While the new agreement might appear generous on the part of IBM, in reality the market value of the collateral backing the loans is worth less than $30 million, so the chances of recovering the full value of the loan have always been limited.
Silverman is "highly confident" of raising the $30 million on time. The money would come from issuance of as much as 50 million shares, he said.
The collateral for the loan is a trust fund that holds 77 percent of the shares of Digital Angel (Amex: DOC, $1.46), an affiliate that owns the patent for the Verichip technology.
If Applied Digital does not pay the $30 million by June 30, IBM can force the company to seek a buyer for the Digital Angel shares, but only a buyer of Applied Digital`s choosing, Silverman said.
Applied Digital has until next March at the very latest to pay IBM, at which time the payment due will be $63 million, Silverman said.
Applied Digital`s civil suit, filed in Palm Beach County Circuit Court, accused IBM of being deliberately obstructionist in the renegotiation of the loans. It also charged that the secret purpose behind IBM`s alleged intransigence was to gain control of Applied Digital`s technology just as it is coming to market.
Applied Digital`s loan is with IBM Credit, the financing arm of the technology company.
Bruce Gordon, program manager at the IBM Credit Special Handling Group, has previously declined to discuss the lawsuit. He did not return calls Thursday seeking comment.
Silverman said he expects Applied Digital, a chronic money-loser that has lost a cumulative $200 million in the past five quarters, will become profitable sometime next year.
"I will achieve this by better managing the business," Silverman said. "There`s room to cut costs."
But Weiss Ratings analyst Roderick Powell is skeptical.
"What`s left to cut?" he asked.
Applied Digital has about 400 employees, down from a peak of 2,000 four years ago.http://www.palmbeachpost.com/epaper/editions/today/business_… .html

#538 ...Jetzt hat man sich mit IBM darauf verständigt, dass die Rückzahlungsbedingungen für den Kredit gelockert werden. Bis Juli wird Applied jetzt 30 Mio. Dollar zurück zahlen, die restlichen 65 Mio. Dollar werden dann in für Applied akzeptablen Raten gezahlt.

Ich hatte die Meldung so verstanden, dass wenn ADSX bis 30 Juni 30 Mio. zahlt schuldenfrei ist. Ich find in der englischen PR keinen Hinweis auf irgendwelche Ratenzahlungen.

Applied Digital also signed a forbearance agreement with International Business Machines Corp. (NYSE:IBM - News) unit IBM Credit LLC that reduces the company`s interest rate and grants it an early exit option in exchange for dropping complaints against IBM and IBM Credit and accepting limitations on allowed expenditures.

Under the agreement, Applied Digital has the option to eliminate its $95- million obligation though a one-time payment of $30 million by June 30.

Schönes Wochenende

Hallo Leute,
hier ist zu eurem Problem ein Artikel im einfacheren Englisch:

Mar 28, 2003 (The Miami Herald - Knight Ridder/Tribune Business News via COMTEX) -- Applied Digital Solutions, the embattled maker of the implantable ID microchip for humans, announced Thursday a renegotiated agreement with IBM Credit Corp. that would give it more time to pay $95 million owed to the lender.
Applied Digital could wipe out its entire debt with IBM Credit with a one-time payment of $30 million. But it must come up with the money by June 30. If it doesn`t meet that deadline, the one-time payment jumps to $50 million, due Sept. 30.

Prior to this agreement, Applied Digital had defaulted on its IBM loans. It had missed several payment deadlines in late February.

Palm Beach-based Applied Digital posted a $49.8 million net loss for the first nine months of 2002 on revenue of $78.9 million. That comes after total net losses of $331.3 million for the two previous years.

If the company can`t come up with the funds to take advantage of these opportunities to eliminate its debt with IBM, it must still pay back a portion of its loans to IBM by Sept. 30. Another payment is due by March 31.

The interest rates on the outstanding debt has also been reduced.

Before, the rates were at 17 percent and could climb as high as 35 percent on the unpaid portions of the IBM loans.

As part of the renegotiated debt deal, Applied Digital has to hire an investment banker to investigate the sale of part or all of the Digital Angel stock held in a trust. The trust has been set up to hold the 75 percent stake Applied Digital has in Digital Angel.

South St. Paul, Minn.-based Digital Angel, holds the patent on the technology used in the VeriChip, the ID microchip Applied Digital unveiled last June and has struggled to market ever since.

Setting up the trust had been a condition of a prior debt renegotiation between IBM and Applied Digital. Under that agreement, if Applied Digital didn`t repay IBM, IBM had to the ability to demand that the trust be liquidated so it could recoup some of the cash.

As a condition of the current deal with IBM Credit, Richard Sullivan, chairman, CEO and founder of Applied Digital, agreed to retire, effective March 21. His title and duties go to Scott Silverman, who has been president of Applied Digital since March 2002.

Sullivan also agreed to a reduced severance package, which provides a one-time payment of $10.7 million in restricted stock, rather than $17 million payment. The company agreed to continue paying healthcare costs for Sullivan and his wife.

Applied Digital has also agreed to dismiss a suit against IBM Credit earlier this month. The company alleged that IBM had derailed Applied Digital`s attempt to line up an infusion of equity financing.

By midday, Applied Digital shares had climbed 11 cents to 32 cents on extremely high volume of nearly 21 million shares.

By Beatrice E. Garcia

Also, werden die 30 Mill.$ rechtzeitig gezahlt, ist die Schuld von 95 Mill. getilgt ("wiped out" = ausgewischt)
Warum IBM das?
Also die Klage war wohl doch z.T. berechtigt und IBMCC hätte auch im Fall eines Bankrotts nicht ihr ganzes Geld wieder gesehen.

So long
(vielleicht ist dieser Gruß etwas verfrüht?)

[puscher]

Hallo Leute,
am 31.3. müssten die earnings kommen (4. Quartal 02 und gesamtes Jahr 02).
Allerdings ist in begründeten Fällen eine Verschiebung um 10 Tage möglich.
Die earnings sollten relativ positiv ausfallen
(jedenfalls hat es Silverman so angekündigt),
so dass der Kurs sich vielleicht stabilisiert.

So long

Digital Angel Corp. Reports Results for 2002
Monday March 31, 4:56 pm ET
Non-Cash Asset Impairment Charges and Merger Related Compensation Expense Account for Majority of Year`s Loss


SO. ST. PAUL, Minn., March 31 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Digital Angel Corp. (Amex: DOC - News) reported revenue of $33.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2002. The net loss for the period of $92.4 million, or $3.76 per basic and diluted share, included $63.9 million in asset impairment charges, $19.0 million of merger related non-cash compensation expense and $1.8 million of interest expense related to debt assumed from the company`s former parent. For the year, net cash used, after operations, investing and financing activities, was $0.4 million.
The 2002 asset impairment charge arose from application of SFAS No. 142, adopted by the Company on January 1, 2002, which requires that goodwill and certain intangibles no longer be amortized but instead tested for impairment at least annually by applying a fair value test. An evaluation of the Company`s Wireless and Monitoring and Medical Systems reporting units indicated that $31.5 million and $25.9 million of goodwill, respectively, was impaired as of December 31, 2002. In addition, in accordance with SFAS No. 144, the Company wrote off, as of December 31, 2002, $6.4 million as an impairment of a perpetual exclusive license to digital encryption and distribution software system.

The write-offs give the Company`s balance sheets a much stronger and clearer footing going forward.

The Company`s core businesses continue to operate positively on plan and plans for its new GPS-based personal connectivity devices and implantable temperature sensor for companion pets and livestock will start contributing to planned revenue growth during the coming quarters.

Was sagen eigentlich die Zahlenexperten? Sehe ich etwas falsch oder ist das einzige Positive der Rückgang der Verbindlichkeiten und die Möglichkeit IBM mit Einmalzahlung loszuwerden (aber wovon)?

Oh Mann, wie weit geht´s jetzt wieder runter Hätte ich besser verkauft und bei 0,20 USD wieder zugeschlagen. Immer dasselbe Spiele bei ADSX.......

[puscher]

@Phunxter
tja, wer als trader nicht schnell ist, den bestraft das Leben.
Voraussetzung ist, dass man laufend vor der Flimmerscheibe sitzt und die Kurse beobachtet. Die Zeit habe ich nicht, -auch keine Lust.
Im übrigen kann man mit buy und hold meist mehr verdienen.
Z.B. hätte ich beim letzten Kurseinbruch aus Anlass der Nicht-Verlängerung des Kredits meine shares lieber behalten sollen, dann stünde ich heute besser da.
Aber adsx ist unberechenbar.
Viel Glück

of $9 million through the end of 2006.
The initial product shipments to SoluSat - consisting of 1,000
implantable VeriChips and 100 proprietary scanners - were completed in
the first quarter of 2003. If annual minimum sales quotas are met,
SoluSat will retain the exclusive right to distribute VeriChip and
related products in Mexico.
Established over 15 years ago, SPIMSA Corporation provides clients
with a range of security-related services, including building access
control, personal security, and security consulting. SPIMSA`s client
base includes some 150 major corporate entities, along with various
agencies of government at the federal, state and local levels in
Mexico. Marketing and distribution efforts involving VeriChip are
expected to be widespread geographically in Mexico, covering a diverse
mix of potential customers and meeting a range of needs in the areas
of access security and emergency identification.
In the United States, shipments of initial VeriChip inventories
have been completed to ten Authorized VeriChip Centers, enabling these
Centers to begin local VeriChip marketing efforts. Authorized VeriChip
Centers are now located in the following cities: Chandler, AZ; Boca
Raton, FL; Naples, FL; Port St Lucie, FL; Sunrise (Broward County),
FL; Bethesda, MD; New York City, NY; North Charleston, SC; San
Antonio, TX; and McLean, VA. For more detailed information on these
Centers, visit www.adsx.com.
The Company also announced that Angela Swafford, a Miami-based
journalist, became the first journalist to Get Chipped(TM) in March.
The Company explained that Ms. Swafford volunteered for the brief,
outpatient procedure while working on a VeriChip story for a major
media outlet. Her story is expected to be released in the near future.
The chipping procedure was performed by Dr. Harvey Kleiner at The
Family Health Place, the Authorized VeriChip Center located in Sunrise
(Broward County), FL. Ms. Swafford issued the following statement:

Statement from Angela Swafford, first journalist to Get Chipped:

"When it comes to reporting on stories, I like to get as involved
as possible in the science behind them. I have been known to lend my
body to science, from participating in NASA hypergravity tests, to
having my brain scanned by neurologists trying new imaging techniques
at MIT. All in the name of exploration of new frontiers ... and of
good stories. When offered the opportunity to be chipped, it occurred
to me that I could tell this story in a unique way. I think the
technology is tremendously exciting, with applications that defy our
wildest dreams. This chip is quietly heralding a time when humans will
literally have technology under the skin."

[Brainstorm01]

Moin zusammen,

hab mir grad mal das CEO-Interview mit Scott Silverman angehört - hier mal die wesentlichen Fakten:

1. Zuerst wurde mal alles rund um ADSX vorgestellt, die Firma, die Produkte, DOC usw. und die Entwicklung der letzten 1-1,5 Jahre

2. Im wesentlichen hat Scott Silverman klargemacht, dass sie für 2003 folgende 3 Hauptziele verfolgen:

1. innerhalb der nächsten 30-60 Tage wollen sie
Cash-Flow positiv werden.
2. "The want to get rid (hoffe das stimmt so) of
IBM
3. To create revenues and sales of Verichip this
year.

Zudem sagte Silverman, dass ADSX im Moment das beste Verhältnis zu IBM in den vergangenen zweieinhalb Jahren hat.

Silverman erwähnte, dass Sie im Moment sozusagen 5 grössere Hauptdistributoren haben. Mexiko ist einer davon und dieser hat lt. gestrieger PR auch schon die ersten Produkte geliefert bekommen. (am Rande noch: in der News steht ja auch drin, dass diese mexikanische Firma nur den Exklusiv-Vertrag bekommt, wenn sie innerhalb einer bestimmten Frist soundsoviel verkaufen).

Weiterhin wäre die Umstrukturierung soweit abgeschlossen und die strategische Zukunftsplanung dahingehend ausgelegt, wie bereits oben gesagt, dass Verichip und später dann die anderen "technologischen Neuentwicklungen" zu dem bisherigen Core-Business Revenue-Streams beisteuern.

Auf die Frage, was sich ADSX in Zukunft "so erhofft" sagte Silverman:
Wenn die Strategischen Ausrichtungen fruchten und Umsätze generiert werden können, und ADSX in diesem neuen Markt eintreten kann, dann erhofft man sich auf sicht der nächsten 3-5 Jahre ein sehr gutes Wachstum.

So das wars mal im grossen und ganzen. Wir werden ja sehen was passiert - wünsche allen noch ein schönes Wochenende.

Brainy

PS.: Falls sich diesmal doch alles zum guten Ende drehen sollte hoffe ich doch, dass all meine "langjährigen" Leidensgenossen noch an das dann geplante Treffen denken und wir dann mal richtig was zu feiern haben.

[Gurki]

dieser aktie werde ich es eines tages zu verdanken haben, dass ichmit 50 in rente gehe .....

entweder weil sie mich reich macht, oder weil mich der kursverlauf jeden tag um wochen altern lässt

@Gurki: Der war verdammt gut und entspricht genau meiner Gemütslage

APPLIED DIGITAL SOLUTIONS INC (ADSX)
ITEM 7. 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 this Annual Report. Certain statements contained herein may contain forward-looking statements - see "Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information and Risk Factors."


OVERVIEW


We are an advanced technology company that focuses on the development of life-enhancing technology products and services. To date, we have four such products in various stages of development. They are:

o Digital Angel(TM), for monitoring and tracking people and

objects;

o Thermo Life(TM), a thermoelectric generator; and
o VeriChip(TM), an implantable radio frequency verification device

that can be used for security, financial, personal
identification/safety and other applications; and

o Bio-Thermo(TM), a temperature-sensing implantable microchip
for use in pets, livestock and other animals.

As a result of the merger of pre-merger Digital Angel and MAS, which occurred on March 27, 2002, the significant restructuring of our business during the past year and our emergence as an advanced technology development company, we have re-evaluated and realigned our reporting segments. Effective January 1, 2002, we currently operate in three business segments: Advanced Technology, Digital Angel Corporation and SysComm International.
Business units that were part of our continuing operations and that were closed or sold during 2001 and 2002 are reported as All Other.

The "Corporate/Eliminations" category includes all amounts recognized upon consolidation of the Company`s subsidiaries such as the elimination of intersegment revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities. "Corporation/Eliminations" also includes certain interest expense and other expenses associated with corporate activities and functions. Included in "Corporate/Eliminations" for the year ended December 31, 2002, is a non-cash compensation charge of $18.7 million associated with pre-merger Digital Angel options, which were converted into options to acquire shares of MAS in connection with the merger of pre-merger Digital Angel and MAS.

Prior to January 1, 2002, our business was organized into three segments: Applications, Services and Advanced Wireless. Prior period information has been restated to present our reportable segments on a comparative basis.

On February 22, 2001, our senior management approved a plan to sell Intellesale, Inc. and all of our other non-core businesses. Our Board of Directors approved the plan on March 1, 2001. The results of operations, financial condition and cash flows of Intellesale and all of our other non-core businesses have been reported as Discontinued Operations in our financial statements and prior periods have been restated.




CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES


Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. As such, some accounting policies have a significant impact on the amount reported in these financial statements. The preparation of our financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. There can be no assurance that actual results will not differ from those estimates. We believe our most critical accounting policies include revenue recognition, software revenue recognition, VeriChip revenue recognition, goodwill and other intangible assets, stock-based compensation, proprietary software in development, inventory obsolescence, and legal contingencies as explained below.


REVENUE RECOGNITION


For programming, consulting and software licensing services and construction contracts, we recognize revenue based on the percent complete for fixed fee contracts, with the percent complete being calculated as either the number of direct labor hours in the project to date divided by the estimated total direct labor hours or based upon the completion of specific task orders. It is our policy to record contract losses in their entirety in the period in which such losses are foreseeable. For nonfixed fee jobs, revenue is recognized based on the actual direct labor hours in the job times the standard billing rate and adjusted to realizable value, if necessary. For product sales, we recognize revenue at the time products are shipped and title has transferred, provided that a purchase order has been received or a contract has been executed, there are no uncertainties regarding customer acceptance, the sales price is fixed and determinable and collectability is deemed probable. If uncertainties regarding customer acceptance exists, revenue is recognized when such uncertainties are resolved. Revenue from royalties is recognized when licensed products are shipped. There are no significant post-contract support obligations at the time of revenue recognition. Our accounting policy regarding vendor and post-contract support obligations is based on the terms of the customers` contract, billable upon the occurrence of the post-sale support. Costs of goods sold are recorded as the related revenue is recognized. We do not experience significant product returns, and therefore, management is of the opinion that no allowance for sales returns is necessary. We have no obligation for warranties on new hardware sales, because the warranty is provided by the manufacturer. We do not offer a warranty policy for services to our customers. Revenue results are difficult to predict, and any shortfall in revenue or delay in recognizing revenue could cause our operating results to vary significantly from quarter to quarter and could result in future operating losses.


SOFTWARE REVENUE RECOGNITION


For those arrangements where our contract calls only for the delivery of software with no additional obligations, revenue is recognized at the time of delivery, provided that there is a signed contract, delivery of the product has taken place, the fee is fixed by the contract and collectability is considered probable. For multiple element arrangements such as a contract that includes the delivery of software and a service arrangement, revenues allocated to the sale of the software are recognized when the software is delivered to the customer. Revenues related to the sale of the service agreement are recognized ratably over the term of the service agreement. A value is ascribed to each of the elements sold. This value is based on vendor specific objective evidence of fair value, regardless of any separate prices that may be stated in the contract. Vendor specific objective evidence of fair value is the price charged when the elements are sold separately. If an element is not yet being sold separately, the fair value is the price established by management having the relevant authority to do so. It is considered probable that the price established by management will not change before the separate introduction of the



element. If the contract includes a discount, the discount is applied to the components of the contract which specifically apply. For those contracts where the discount is a fixed amount for the entire contract (i.e. not specifically identifiable with any of the contract elements), a proportionate amount of the discount is allocated to each element of the contract based on that element`s fair value without regard to the discount. Our contracts do not include unspecified upgrades and enhancements. For those arrangements where our contracts to deliver software require significant production modification or customization of the software, revenues are recognized using percentage of completion accounting. The service element of these contracts are essential to the functionality of other elements in the contract and are not accounted for separately. The cost to complete and extent of progress towards completion of these contracts can be reasonably ascertained based on the detailed tracking and recording of labor hours expended. Progress payments on these contracts are required and progress is measured using the efforts expended input measure. Revenue results are difficult to predict, and any shortfall in revenue or delay in recognizing revenue could cause our operating results to vary significantly from quarter to quarter and could result in future operating losses.


VERICHIP REVENUE RECOGNITION


Distributor Rights Fees

As of December 31, 2002, we have not yet recognized revenue associated with our VeriChip product. All distributor fees are recorded as deferred revenue on our balance sheet at December 31, 2002 and included in accrued expenses. We will recognize revenue associated with the distributor rights, product sales and monitoring services in the future based upon the following policy:

The nonrefundable portion of the upfront fee paid for exclusive distributor rights will be recognized over the initial term of the distributor agreement. The initial term will start with the first product sale under the agreement, not the contract period itself. The formula used to calculate this amount should be an amount equal to the percentage that each product order represents in relation to the minimum product order quantities required by the agreement. Until the amount of product returns can be reasonably estimated, no revenues will be recognized until the expiration of the period of time the distributor has to accept or reject the products as provided in their agreements.

If the distributor materially breaches their agreement and this breach results in the loss of their exclusive distributor rights but not their non-exclusive distributor rights, the balance of the non-amortized upfront fees will continue to be recognized ratably over the remaining life of their agreement. The formula previously described will be used to recognize these remaining fees unless no orders are placed. If this is the case, then the recognition of revenue from the remaining portion of non-amortized fees will be delayed until the expiration of the contract term.

If a contract breach results in the loss of all distributor rights and the only way to remain a distributor is to pay an additional substantial monetary penalty, then the remaining portion of the initial distributor fee will be recognized as revenues in the month in which the contract requirement is breached.

Product Sales

Revenue from the sale of products such as microchips and scanners will be recorded at gross with a separate display of cost of sales. Until the amount of returns can be reasonably estimated, revenues will not be recognized until the expiration of the period of time the distributor has to accept or reject the products as provided in their distributor agreement. Once the amount of returns can be reasonably estimated, revenues (net of expected returns) will be recognized at the time of shipment and the passage of title.



Since the final use of the product is unknown at the time it is shipped to the distributor, and end users may choose from a number of non-proprietary monitoring services or choose none at all, and the monitoring services are not essential to the functionality of all chips, the company will not attempt to bundle the revenue from the sale of chips with potential future revenues from a monitoring service.

Monitoring Services

Monitoring services will be treated as a separate earnings process from product sales. Revenues from this service will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the service agreement.


GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS


Up through 2001, we reviewed goodwill and other intangible assets quarterly for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicated that the remaining useful life may have warranted revision or that the carrying amount of the long-lived asset may not have been fully recoverable. Included in factors considered were significant customer losses, changes in profitability due to sudden economic or competitive factors, change in managements` strategy for the business unit, letters of intent received for the sale of the business unit, or other factors arising in the quarterly period. We annually performed undiscounted cash flows analyses by business unit to determine if impairment existed. For purposes of these analyses, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization were used as the measure of cash flow. When impairment was determined to exist, any related impairment loss was calculated based on fair value. Fair value was determined based on discounted cash flows. The discount rate utilized by us was the rate of return expected from the market or the rate of return for a similar investment with similar risks. We recorded goodwill impairment charges of $63.6 million and $0.8 million during 2001 and 2000, respectively.

On January 1, 2002, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and Intangible Assets" (FAS 142). FAS 142 eliminates the amortization of goodwill and instead requires that goodwill be tested for impairment at least annually. Intangible assets deemed to have indefinite life under FAS 142, such as goodwill, are no longer amortized, but instead reviewed at least annually for impairment. Goodwill amortization amounted to $21.3 million during 2001. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over the useful life. As part of the implementation of FAS 142, we were required to complete a transitional impairment test of goodwill and other intangible assets. There was no impairment of goodwill upon the adoption of FAS 142. Annually, we test our goodwill and intangible assets for impairment as a part of our annual business planning cycle during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year. Based upon this annual test, we recorded a goodwill impairment of approximately $62.2 million at December 31, 2002 for goodwill associated with our Digital Angel Corporation segment. In addition, future events such as market conditions or operational performance of our acquired businesses could cause us to conclude that additional impairment exists. Any resulting impairment loss could also have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations.


STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION


We account for our employee stock-based compensation plans in accordance with APB Opinion No. 25 (APB No. 25), Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees and Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 44, Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensationan Interpretation of APB Opinion No. 25, and the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123 (SFAS No. 123), Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. Accordingly, no compensation cost is recognized for any of



our fixed stock options granted to employees when the exercise price of each option equals or exceeds the fair value of the underlying common stock as of the grant date for each stock option. Changes in the terms of stock option grants, such as extensions of the vesting period or changes in the exercise price, result in variable accounting in accordance with APB Opinion No. 25. Accordingly, compensation expense is measured in accordance with APB No. 25 and recognized over the vesting period. If the modified grant is fully vested, any additional compensation costs are recognized immediately. Under variable accounting, changes in the underlying price of our stock may have a significant impact to earnings. A rise in our stock price results in additional compensation expense and a decrease in our stock price results in a reduction of reported compensation expense. During 2001, we repriced 19.3 million stock options. As a result, we have recorded non-cash compensation expense of $0.7 million and $5.3 million in 2002 and 2001, respectively.

We account for equity instruments issued to non-employees in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123.


PROPRIETARY SOFTWARE IN DEVELOPMENT


In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (FAS) 86, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed, we have capitalized certain computer software development costs upon the establishment of technological feasibility. Technological feasibility is considered to have occurred upon completion of a detailed program design that has been confirmed by documenting and tracing the detail program design to product specifications and has been reviewed for high-risk development issues, or to the extent a detailed program design is not pursued, upon completion of a working model that has been confirmed by testing to be consistent with the product design. Amortization is provided based on the greater of the ratios that current gross revenues for a product bear to the total of current and anticipated future gross revenues for that product, or the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the product. The estimated useful life for the straight-line method is determined to be 2 to 5 years. Future events such as market conditions, customer demand, or technological obsolescence could cause us to conclude that the software is impaired. The determination of the possible impairment expense requires management to make estimates that effect our consolidated financial statements.


INVENTORY OBSOLESCENCE


Estimates are used in determining the likelihood that inventory on hand can be sold. Historical inventory usage and current revenue trends are considered in estimating both obsolescence and slow-moving inventory. Inventory is stated at lower of cost or market, determined by the first-in, first-out method, net of any reserve for obsolete or slow-moving inventory.


LEGAL CONTINGENCIES


We are currently involved in several legal proceedings. We have accrued our estimate of the probable costs for the resolution of these claims. This estimate has been developed in consultation with outside counsel handling our defense in these matters and is based upon an analysis of potential results, assuming a combination of litigation and settlement strategies. We do not believe these proceedings will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position. It is possible, however, that future results of operations for any particular quarterly or annual period could be materially affected by changes in our estimates.

REVENUE


Revenue from continuing operations for 2002 was $99.6 million, a decrease of $56.7 million, or 36.3%, from $156.3 million in 2001. Revenue for 2001 represents an increase of $21.5 million, or 16.0% from $134.8 million in 2000. The decrease in 2002 was primarily attributable to the sale or closure of all businesses that were not cash positive or that did not fit into our strategy of becoming an advanced technology development company. The increase in 2001 was primarily attributable to the growth through acquisitions.

Revenue for each of the continuing operating segments was:

======== ======== ======== ======== ======== ======== ======== ======== ========

Changes during the years were:
Our Advanced Technology`s revenue decreased $2.6 million from 2001 to 2002. Product revenue increased by $0.9 million, or 3.1%, while service revenue decreased by $3.5 million, or 21.3%. We attribute the decreases in 2002 to reduced sales of hardware and software products and reduced technology services. The decrease in product revenue was partially offset by an increase in product revenue for Computer Equity Corporation. During 2001, this segment experienced an increase in sales due primarily to the inclusion of twelve months of operating results for two significant acquisitions acquired in 2000. These two significant acquisitions include Computer Equity Corporation, acquired on June 1, 2000, and Pacific Decision Sciences Corporation, acquired on October 1, 2000.

Our Digital Angel Corporation`s revenue decreased $2.2 million, or 6.1%, from 2001 to 2002. Product revenue decreased by $2.3 million, or 7.1%, while service revenue increased by $0.2 million, or 6.6%. We attribute the decrease in product sales for 2002 primarily to a decrease in shipments of visual identification tags for Canadian customers, customer inventory adjustments and continued softness in the livestock market during 2002. We attribute the increase in service revenue to the MAS merger in March 2002. Revenue increased $13.5 million, or 60.8%, from 2000 to 2001. The increase in revenue in 2001 was primarily the result of the acquisitions of Timely Technology Corp. in April 2000 and Destron Fearing Corporation in September 2000.

Our SysComm International`s revenue decreased $11.5 million, or 33.5%, from 2001 to 2002. Product revenue decreased by $10.0 million, or 33.3%, while service revenue decreased by $1.4 million, or 35.0%. The decrease in product and service sales was a result of an industry wide softening in demand that existed throughout 2002. Additionally, product sales declined as a result of a decision in April 2002, to cease selling certain lower-margin computer hardware products and to focus on sales of higher margin products and related technical services. Revenue increased $6.9 million, or 25.2%, from 2000 to 2001. Both product and service revenue increased as a result of internal growth and the acquisition of SysComm International Corporation.



Our All Other segment`s revenue decreased $39.9 million, or 96.6%, from 2001 to 2002. Product revenue decreased by $20.3 million, or 95.2%, while service revenue decreased by $19.6 million, or 98.1%. Revenue decreased $11.4 million, or 21.6%, from 2000 to 2001. The decreases in revenue in 2002 as compared to 2001, and in 2001 as compared to 2000, were due to the sale or closure of all of the business units comprising this group during the last half of 2001 and the first half of 2002.


GROSS PROFIT AND GROSS PROFIT MARGIN


Gross profit from continuing operations for 2002 was $31.9 million, a decrease of $14.6 million, or 31.4%, from $46.5 million in 2001. Gross profit for 2001 represents a decrease of $5.8 million, or 11.1% from $52.3 million in 2000. As a percentage of revenue, the gross profit margin was 32.0%, 29.7% and 38.8% for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

Gross profit from continuing operations for each operating segment was:

Changes during the years were:
Our Advanced Technology segment`s gross profit decreased $2.5 million from 2001 to 2002, and margins decreased to 30.8% in 2002 compared to 34.7% in 2001. We attribute the decrease in gross profit and margin primarily to the reduction in sales of higher-margin services during 2002. Gross profit increased $1.9 million from 2000 to 2001 and margins decreased to 34.7% in 2001 compared to 42.0% in 2000. During 2001, this segment experienced an increase in gross margin due primarily to the inclusion of twelve months of operating results for two significant businesses acquired in 2000. These two significant acquisitions were Computer Equity Corporation, acquired on June 1, 2000, and Pacific Decision Sciences Corporation, acquired on October 1, 2000. Companies acquired in 2000 contributed $9.4 million in gross profit in 2000. Gross profit and margin percentage from existing businesses decreased in 2000 as the poor performance of the technology sector during the fourth quarter of 2000 resulted in lower capital spending and increased incentives, which contributed to the decline in gross margin percentage.

Our Digital Angel Corporation segment`s gross profit increased $0.2 million, or 1.5%, from 2001 to 2002, and margins increase to 40.6% from 37.6%. We attribute the increase in gross profit


for 2002, to the Medical Systems segment and we attribute the increase in gross margin to a favorable shift in the product mix. Gross profit increased by $4.1 million, or 44.5%, from 2000 to 2001, and margins decreased to 37.6% from 41.8%. Gross profit increased in 2001 primarily the result of the acquisitions of Timely Technology Corp. in April 2000, and Destron Fearing Corporation in September 2000. Gross profit margins decreased in 2001, primarily because the businesses acquired in 2000 earn lower margin percentages than our existing business.

Our SysComm International segment`s gross profit decreased $1.2 million, or 22.5%, from 2001 to 2002. Gross margin percentage increased to 18.3% from 15.7% in 2001. The decrease in gross profit was primarily due to the overall decrease in revenue resulting from the soft market in the IT industry, while the increase in gross margin is primarily attributable to the focus on sales of higher margin products and related technical services during 2002. Gross profit decreased $0.4 million, or 7.7%, from 2000 to 2001. Gross margin percentage decreased to 15.7% in 2001 compared to 21.3% in 2000. The poor performance of the economy and the technology sector in particular resulted in lower capital spending and increased incentives during 2001 as compared to 2000.

Our All Other segment`s gross profit decreased by $10.5 million, or 90.0%, from 2001 to 2002. Gross margin percentage increased to 83.9% in 2002 compared to 28.3% in 2001. Gross profit decreased $11.7 million, or 50.1%, from 2000 to 2001. Gross margin percentage decreased to 28.3% in 2001 compared to 44.4% in 2000. The decrease in gross profit in 2002 and 2001 is primarily due to the sale or closure of the business units comprising this segment during the last half of 2001 and the first half of 2002. We attribute the increase in gross margin in 2002 to inventory reserves of $4.3 million, which were recorded during 2001, and to the sale and closure of business units within this group. The majority of the business units that were sold or closed earned lower gross margins on average than the remaining business unit comprising the group during the first half of 2002.


SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE


Selling, general and administrative expenses from continuing operations were $66.5 million in 2002, a decrease of $35.9 million, or 35.1%, over the $102.3 million reported in 2001. Selling, general and administrative expenses from continuing operations increased $40.3 million in 2001, or 65.0%, over the $62.0 million reported in 2000. As a percentage of revenue, selling, general and administrative expenses from continuing operations have increased to 66.5% in 2002, from 65.5% in 2001 and 46.0% in 2000.

Changes during the years were:

Our Advanced Technology segment`s selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $0.2 million, or 1.4%, to $12.1 million in 2002 from $12.3 million in 2001. We attribute the decrease primarily to the reduction in revenues and the corresponding overhead for several of the businesses within this segment. Partially offsetting the decrease were increases in legal and other costs associated with a lawsuit that was settled on July 15, 2002 and marketing and administrative expenses associated with our VeriChip product launch. As a percentage of revenue, selling, general and administrative expense decreased in 2002 as compared to 2001. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $1.7 million, or 16.1%, to $12.3 million in 2001 from $10.6 million in 2000. The acquisition of Computer Equity in June 2000 contributed $2.6 million of the increase and $1.2 million resulted from bad debt reserves. These increases were partially offset by staff reductions and other cost saving measures. Selling expense decreased as a percentage of revenue in 2001 as compared to 2000, as companies acquired in 2000 incurred less selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue than the existing businesses.

Our Digital Angel Corporation segment`s selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $6.0 million, or 62.7%, to $15.6 million in 2002 from $9.6 million in 2001. As a percentage of revenue, selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 46.4% as compared to 26.8% in 2001. We attribute the increase in 2002, primarily to expenses associated with the merger of pre-merger Digital Angel and MAS during the first quarter of 2002 as well as the costs associated with the introduction of the Digital Angel products. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $1.8 million, or 23.1%, to $9.6 million in 2001 from $7.8 million in 2000. The increase in 2001 was the result of the acquisitions of Destron Fearing Corporation and Timely Technology Corp. during 2000.

Our SysComm International segment`s selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $1.3 million, or 23.5%, to $4.2 million in 2002 from $5.5 million in 2001. The decrease in expenses was due to several cost savings measures taken in 2002 including the centralization of the service and administrative operations and the closure of two other small offices. Also, we reduced our work force and payments of sales commissions, both of which were related to the decline in revenue. Selling, general and administrative expense increased to $5.5 million in 2001 from $4.1 million in 2000. The increase in 2001 was due to the acquisition of SysComm International Corporation in the fourth quarter of 2000.

Our All Other segment`s selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $27.4 million, or 94.8%, to $1.5 million in 2002 from $28.9 million in 2001. The decrease resulted from the sale or closure of all of the business units comprising this group during the last half of 2001 and the first half of 2002. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $5.8 million, or 25.3%, to $28.9 million in 2001

from $23.0 million in 2000. We attribute the increase to the acquisition of a software provider in December 2000.

Corporate/Eliminations selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $13.1 million, or 28.3%, to $33.1 million in 2002 from $46.1 million in 2001. We attribute the decrease in 2002 primarily to the one-time costs incurred during 2001, as more fully discussed below. Partially offsetting the decrease were increases related to the following three factors:

* Pursuant to the terms of the pre-merger Digital Angel and MAS merger agreement, which became effective March 27, 2002, options to acquire shares of pre-merger Digital Angel common stock were converted into options to acquire shares of MAS common stock. The transaction resulted in a new measurement date for the options and, as a result, we recorded non-cash compensation expense of approximately $18.7 million during 2002. As all of the option holders were our employees or directors, these options were considered fixed awards under APB Opinion No. 25 and expense was recorded for the intrinsic value of the options converted;

* We incurred an increase in professional fees during 2002; and

* We incurred non-cash compensation expense of approximately $0.5 million associated with interest payments that were due on September 27, 2001 and September 27, 2002. We have chosen not to pay the interest and related tax gross-up. We, therefore, consider such notes to be in default and have begun steps to foreclose on the underlying collateral (all of the stock) in satisfaction of the notes. Our decision to take this action relates in part to the passage of the recent corporate reform legislation under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which, among other things, prohibits further extension of credit to officers and directors.

Corporate/Eliminations selling, general and administrative expenses increased $29.6 million, or 179.5%, to $46.1 million in 2001 from $16.5 million in 2000. The significant increase was primarily as a result of an increase in bad debt reserves on notes and other receivables of $21.9 million. The reserves were considered necessary based upon several factors that occurred during the third and fourth quarters of 2001. These included:

* A debtor declared bankruptcy, which resulted in a reserve of $2.5 million;

* A $6.2 million note receivable, plus accrued interest, associated with a business sold in December 2000 was deemed uncollectible as the debtor has experienced significant business interruptions to a business located in New York directly related to September 11, 2001;

* Three debtors are delinquent under required payment obligations resulting in a reserve of $3.4 million; and

* A $9.0 million note received for issuance of shares of the Company`s common stock was deemed uncollectible based upon the financial condition of the debtor.

Also contributing to the increase in 2001 were:

* $5.3 million of non-cash compensation expense due primarily to re-pricing 19.3 million stock options in September 2001. The re-priced options had original exercise prices ranging from $0.69 to $6.34 per share and were modified to change the exercise price to $0.15 per share. Due to the modification, these options are being accounted for as variable options under APB Opinion No. 25 and, accordingly, fluctuations in

our common stock price result in increases and decreases of non-cash compensation expense until the options are exercised, forfeited or expired; and

* $3.6 million in litigation reserves.

Partially offsetting the increase was a reduction in personnel related expenses of approximately $2.0 million.


RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSE


Research and development expense from continuing operations for 2002 was $3.5 million, a decrease of $5.1 million, or 59.1%, over the $8.6 million reported in 2001. As a percentage of revenue, research and development expense decreased to 3.5% in 2002 from 5.5% in 2001.

Research and development expense for each of the operating segments was:

------- ------- ------
$69,382 $71,719 $6,383
======= ======= ======

As of December 31, 2002, the net book value of our goodwill was $67.8 million. There was no impairment of goodwill upon the adoption of FAS 142 on January 1, 2002. Upon our annual review for impairment during the fourth quarter of 2002, we recorded an impairment charge of $62.2 million associated with our Digital Angel Corporation segment. The impairment relates to the goodwill associated with the acquisition of MAS in March 2002, and to Digital Angel Corporation`s Wireless and Monitoring segment. Future goodwill impairment reviews may result in additional periodic write-downs. In addition, Digital Angel Corporation impaired $6.4 million of software associated with its Wireless and Monitoring segment. As of December 31, 2002, Digital Angel Corporation`s Wireless and Monitoring segment has not recorded any significant revenues from its Digital Angel product, and therefore, it was determined that the goodwill and software were impaired.
As a result of the economic slowdown during 2001, we experienced deteriorating sales for certain of our businesses. In addition, management concluded that a full transition to an advanced technology company required the sale or closure of all units that did not fit into our new business model or were not cash-flow positive. This resulted in the shutdown of several of our businesses during the third and fourth quarters of 2001 and the first quarter of 2002. Also, letters of intent that we had received

during the last half of 2001 and the first quarter of 2002 related to the sales of certain of our businesses indicated a decline in their fair values. The sales of these businesses did not comprise the sale of an entire business segment. Based upon these developments, we reassessed our future expected operating cash flows and business valuations and at December 31, 2001, we performed undiscounted cash flows analyses by business unit to determine if an impairment existed. For purposes of these analyses, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization were used as the measure of cash flow. When an impairment was determined to exist, any related impairment loss was calculated based on fair value. Fair value was determined based on discounted cash flows. The discount rate utilized by us was the rate of return expected from the market or the rate of return for a similar investment with similar risks. This reassessment resulted in the asset impairments listed above during 2001.

As a result of the restructuring and revision to our business model, the plan to implement an enterprise wide software system purchased in 2000 was discontinued, and accordingly, the cost of the software was expensed in 2002 and 2001.

During the fourth quarter of 2000, we reviewed our goodwill and certain other investments for impairment and concluded that certain assets were impaired. At December 31, 2000, we recorded a charge of $6.4 million for permanent asset impairment as more fully described in our financial statements.

In addition to the impairments above, during 2002 and 2001, we recorded inventory reserves of $1.4 million and $4.0 million, respectively, and bad debt reserves of $1.3 million and $26.0 million, respectively. The inventory reserves are included in our financial statements in cost of products and the bad debt reserves are included in selling, general and administrative expense.


DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION


Depreciation and amortization expense from continuing operations for 2002 was $4.8 million, a decrease of $24.1 million, or 83.5%, over the $28.9 million reported in 2001. The 2001 expense represents an increase of $17.8 million, or 161.0% over the $11.1 million reported in 2000. As a percentage of revenue, depreciation and amortization expense was 4.8%, 18.5% and 8.2% in 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

Under FAS 142, which we adopted on January 1, 2002, goodwill and certain other intangible assets are no longer amortized. We incurred $22.5 million and $9.4 million in goodwill and equity method investment amortization during 2001 and 2000, respectively.

In conjunction with our review for impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets in the fourth quarter of 2000, we reviewed the useful lives assigned to acquisitions and, effective October 1, 2000, changed the lives to periods ranging from 5 to 10 years, down from periods ranging from 10 to 20 years to reflect current economic trends associated with the nature of recent acquisitions made. This change in the fourth quarter of 2000 increased amortization expense by $7.2 million and $3.5 million in 2001 and 2000, respectively.



Depreciation and amortization expense from continuing operations by segments was as follows:


2002 2001 2000
---- ---- ----
(AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS)
Advanced Technology $ 569 $ 9,088 $ 2,990

Corporate 296 2,242 1,579
------ ------- -------
Total $4,773 $28,899 $11,073
====== ======= =======

We attribute the decreases in 2002 primarily to a reduction in goodwill amortization as a result of the adoption of FAS 142. In addition, All Other`s depreciation and amortization expense decreased due to the sale or closure of all of the business units comprising this group during the last half of 2001 and the first half of 2002. "Corporate / Eliminations" depreciation and amortization expense decreased primarily as a result of the impairment and sale of software and other corporate assets during the last half of 2001.
The increases in 2001 as compared to 2000 reflect the increased goodwill amortization associated with the business acquisitions during 2000, and the change in goodwill lives noted above.


LOSS/GAIN ON SALES OF SUBSIDIARIES AND BUSINESS ASSETS


The gain (loss) on sale of subsidiaries and business assets was $0.1 million, $(6.1) million, and $0.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The loss on the sales of subsidiaries and business assets of $6.1 million for 2001 was due to sales of the business assets of our wholly-owned subsidiaries as follows: ADS Retail Inc., Signal Processors, Limited, ACT Wireless Corp. and our ATI Communications companies. In addition, we sold our 85% ownership interest in Atlantic Systems, Inc. Proceeds from the sales were $3.5 million and were used primarily to repay debt.


INTEREST INCOME AND EXPENSE


Interest income was $2.4 million, $2.1 million and $1.1 million for 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Interest income is earned primarily from short-term investments and notes receivable.

Interest expense was $17.5 million, $8.6 million and $5.9 million for 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Interest expense is a function of the level of outstanding debt and is principally associated with notes payable and term loans.


INCOME TAXES


We had effective income tax (benefit) rates of 0.3%, 11.8%, and (14.8)% in 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Differences in the effective income tax rates from the statutory federal income tax rate arise from goodwill amortization associated with acquisitions, state taxes net of federal benefits and the increase or reduction of valuation allowances related to net operating loss carryforwards and other deferred tax assets. As of December 31, 2002, we have provided a valuation allowance to fully reserve our net operating loss carryforwards and our other existing net deferred tax assets. Our tax provision for 2001 was primarily the result of an increase in the valuation allowance due to the losses incurred during the year ended December 31, 2001, as well as our projections of future taxable income.


EXTRAORDINARY GAIN/LOSS


As a result of settling certain disputes between us, the former owners of Bostek, Inc. and an affiliate of Bostek, as more fully discussed in Note 19 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, the parties agreed to forgive a $9.5 million payable provided we registered approximately 3.0 million common shares by June 15, 2001. We were successful in meeting the June 15, 2001 deadline and, accordingly, the extinguishment of the $9.5 million payable was recorded in June 2001 as an extraordinary gain.

The above results do not include any allocated or common overhead expenses. Included in Interest, net, above are interest charges based on the debt of one of these businesses that was repaid when the business was sold in January 2002.
As of March 31, 2003, we have sold or closed substantially all of the businesses comprising Discontinued Operations. There is one insignificant company remaining, which had revenue and net loss for the year ended December 31, 2002 of $0.7 million and $0.2 million, respectively. We anticipate selling this remaining company in the next several months. Proceeds from the sales of Discontinued Operations companies were used to repay amounts outstanding under our credit agreement with IBM Credit. Any additional proceeds on the sale of the remaining business will also be used to repay debt.

Provision for operating losses and carrying costs during the phase-out period included the estimated loss on sale of the business units as well as operating and other disposal costs incurred in selling the businesses. Carrying costs include the cancellation of facility leases, employment contract buyouts, sales tax liabilities and reserves for certain legal expenses related to on-going litigation.

(Genehmigung der Gesundheitsbehörde, rechtzeitige Rückzahlung der 30 Mill. $, positives cash-flow, erste Verkaufserfolge usw.).
Dann wird der Kurs in die Höhe schnellen,
um bei Gewinnmitnahmen gleich danach wieder zurück zu fallen.
Also wenn du traden willst, spielst du gegen die ganze Meute von Zockern,
du musst einfach schneller sein als der Rest.

Zur Zeit sind einige Leute der Meinung, dass etwas am köcheln sei.

Na ja

My Bio Buddy

By Alexandra Robbins


Who is the ultimate doctor? The one who never stops watching you. The next wave of biosensors and in-body microelectromechanical systems (MEMSs), several of which are undergoing testing, are being designed to provide less painful, constant methods of medical monitoring. Farther down the road, such systems are slated to tackle even bigger tasks, such as early detection of disease.

External biosensors and MEMS-based devices serving as point-of-care diagnostic tools are already being used in emergency rooms and intensive-care units. Within 2 minutes, the devices can determine a patient`s general blood chemistry and more.
Digital Angel Corp., among others, is working on miniaturizing such diagnostic technology for ever-present monitoring.

In the short term, biosensors that can monitor blood glucose levels are the Holy Grail of MEMS biotechnology, says Marlene Bourne, a senior analyst at In-Stat/MDR who specializes in MEMs technology.

Millions of diabetics currently test their blood using sets of painful lancets to draw blood. The Swiss company Debiotech is testing an implantable biosensor that tracks blood glucose levels and delivers insulin. And Therasense is close to releasing a pain-free subcutaneous device—like a patch with probes—that checks blood glucose levels and may eventually deliver insulin.

Bourne is most enthusiastic, however, about an implantable chip (see the photo) that MicroChips is now testing in lab trials. The tiny chip will manage the long-term, time-controlled release of specifically targeted medication for management of pain from chronic conditions and cancer treatment.

"Patients want what`s less painful, and the health-care industry wants better results at a lower cost," Bourne says. "MEMS technology is slowly proving that you can do all of that. MEMS can improve existing technology, but it can also create brand-new applications in the human body."

PALM BEACH, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 25, 2003-- Applied Digital Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq: ADSX - News) an advanced technology development company, announced today that its wholly owned subsidiary, VeriChip Corporation, has been invited to make two presentations at the upcoming IDTechEx "Smart Tagging in Healthcare" conference in London, April 28-29, 2003.
Dr. Richard Seelig, Vice President of Medical Applications for VeriChip Corporation, will provide a live demonstration of VeriChip(TM) and discuss its potential healthcare applications - which are subject to regulation by the US Food and Drug Administration - including:

Implanted medical device identification
Emergency access to patient-supplied health information
Portable medical records access
In-hospital patient identification
Medical facility connectivity via patient
Patient/therapy integration
Inter-facility patient identification
Additional healthcare applications which are not Internet dependent, including disease/treatment management of at-risk populations
Dr. Seelig will also provide the first-ever public demonstration of a new temperature-sensing microchip technology, marketed, patented and first announced by Digital Angel Corporation (AMEX: DOC - News) in February 2003. This new Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) microchip has similar dimensions and performance characteristics as VeriChip, but it can also obtain and transmit body temperature data.

This technology for human healthcare applications is subject to appropriate regulations in the US and other jurisdictions. The potential healthcare applications of the new temperature-sensing microchip include, but are not limited to, the following broad treatment categories:

Chemotherapy treatment management
Chronic infection monitoring

Applied Digital Solutions Announces Working Prototype of Subdermal GPS Personal Location Device
Tuesday May 13, 11:40 am ET
Specially Designed Antenna and Induction-Based Power-Recharging Method Function Properly in Field Testing


PALM BEACH, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 13, 2003-- Disk-Shaped Prototype is Roughly the Size of a Pacemaker -
Future Miniaturization Expected

Applied Digital Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq: ADSX - News), an advanced technology development company, today announced that it has developed and successfully field tested a working prototype of what the company believes is the first-ever subdermal GPS "personal location device" (PLD).


Field testing and follow-up laboratory testing of the disk-shaped prototype confirm that the specially designed antenna and the induction-based power-recharging method function properly.

The dimensions of this initial PLD prototype are 2.5 inches in diameter by 0.5 inches in depth, roughly the size of a pacemaker. As the process of miniaturization proceeds in the coming months, the Company expects to be able to shrink the size of the device to at least one-half and perhaps to as little as one-tenth the current size.

The induction-based power-recharging method is similar to that used to recharge implantable pacemakers. This recharging technique functions without requiring any physical connection between the power source and the implant.

Dr. Peter Zhou, Vice President and Chief Scientist of Applied Digital Solutions, said: "We`re very encouraged by the successful field testing and follow-up laboratory testing of this working PLD prototype. The specially designed antenna is working as planned. While reaching the working prototype stage represents a significant advancement in the development of PLD, we continue to pursue further enhancements, especially with regard to miniaturization and the power supply. We should be able to reduce the size of the device dramatically before the end of this year."

Last year, the Company announced that it was accelerating development of PLD in response to demand from high-risk countries and other potential customers. The exact timing of commercial availability of PLD is unclear pending further technological refinements and achieving any required regulatory clearances. The PLD technology builds on United States Patent Number 5,629,678 for a "personal tracking and recovery system" which Applied Digital acquired in 1999.

In its PLD announcement last year, the Company said it is committed to providing customers with a full range of "personal safeguard technologies" that enhance personal safety, security and peace of mind. Other technologies in the Company`s line-up of life-enhancing technologies include VeriChip(TM), Digital Angel(TM), and Thermo Life(TM)."

Morgen zusammen,

also das 10Q wurde gestern nachbörslich rausgegeben und ich habs kurz mal überflogen.
Mein Business English ist zwar nicht das Beste, aber ich zumindest finde es hört sich absolut nicht gut an.

Vorallem scheint es so, dass ADSX erstens nicht Cash-Flow-Positiv ist und zweitens auch die Kredit-Zahlung von 30 Millionen $ nicht hinbekommt sondern alles sozusagen erstmal auf den September mit den 50 Millionen $ verschoben wird.

Da kann ich wirklich nicht verstehen, dass sich der CEO in ein Interview begibt und sagt:
- wir werden innerhalb der nächsten 30-60 Tage Cash-Flow-Positiv sein und
- wir haben das beste Verhältnis zu IBM seit jeher
????????????

Bin mal gespannt, was heute abgeht.

Hier ein Auszug aus der PR vom Freitag den 9. Mai 2003

Reuters
Applied Digital to sell shares to meet IBM debt
Friday May 9, 8:54 am ET


NEW YORK, May 9 (Reuters) - Applied Digital Solutions Inc. (NasdaqSC:ADSX - News), which makes a microchip that can be implanted under the skin, on Friday said it plans to sell 25 million shares to meet an obligation to its lender, IBM Credit, the financing arm of the computer giant.

.....
.....

#########################################################################################
Also erst wollten Sie 50 Millionen Aktien zum Verkauf registrieren lassen und dann haben sie sich doch für nur 25 Millionen Stück laut obiger PR entschieden.

Warum heißt es aber dann in dem 10Q-Filling:
....
We are currently offering up to 50,000,000 shares of our common stock in a public offering registered under the Securities Act of 1933. The shares of our common stock are being offered on a best efforts basis through the efforts of a placement agent J.P. Carey Securities, Inc. under the terms of a placement agency agreement.
.....
??????????

Zudem scheint es noch so, dass ADSX nun auf dem diesjährigen Aktionärstreffen sich weitere Aktien zum Verkauf genehmigen lassen wollen.

Und obendrein sind da noch die ganzen ungereimtheiten mit den Millionen von Aktien und Optionen von Sully und Co.

Also ehrlich gesagt, blick ich da nicht mehr durch.

Falls jemand mal etwas Licht ins dunkel bringen könnte wäre ich sehr verbunden.

[Dagobert01]

Servus Brainy,

ich hab auch erst gekotzt, als die Nachricht gesehen habe, aber nach meinem Englisch zu urteilen, sind das meiste Abschreibungen und die laufenden Kosten hierfür. Der normale Geschäftsbetrieb hat ungefähr 1,5 Mio. Dollar erwirtschaftet (Großprofit minus die nächsten drei Zahlen Kosten/Entwicklung/und Abschreibungen auf die gewollten Geschäftsbereiche), minus die Kosten für das halten der zum Verkauf stehenden Divisionen (letzte Tabelle 4,5 Mio.$) sind dann ungefähr die 2,8 Mio.$ was an Cash verloren ging. Aber ide Amis lesen nur die 107 Mio. Verlust vom Papier. Das Kerngeschäft ist Positive --> auch Cash-Flowpositive! Aber auch ich habe keinen DR. in Betriebswirtschaft und bin auch kein Dolmetscher für Wirtschaftsenglisch.

50Mio + 25 Mio. Aktien x 40 Cent sind auch 30 Mio. Dollar. Und so wie es aussieht sind ein Großteil der 25 Mio Tranche am 9.5 verkauft worden als Doc so positiv war und für mehr als 40 Cent. Deshalb sind wir nicht wir vorbörslich zu erwarten war über 55 Cent gegangen. Es scheint auch wissende im Raggingbullboard zu geben, welche ganz sicher sind dass wir die 30 Mio. bezahlen und die bis dort hin einfach die Wellen mittraden. Denn die reden nur miteinander und nicht mit den Pusher oder Basher. Außerdem ist das Volumen sonst auch in Ordnung und viele Decken sich mit großen Ordern ein, zum niedrigen Kurs.

Aslo ich weiß nicht genau was ich jetzt genau halten soll, was ich gelesen habe sieht eigentlich normal aus und das potential der Aktie ist ja bekannt, vor allem da die Menschheit schon immer zum Radikalen neigt, also Verbrecherchipping wird sicher kommen. Und das einzige Trackingpatent das geographisch weitreichend ist GPS ist unseres, die anderen sind immer auf kurze Distanzen ausgerichtet.

Bin heute Nachmittag leider in Frankfurt und erst am Nachmittag in AB zurück kannst mich dann anrufen oder wenn es in Amerika rund geht auch unterwegs.

Auf jeden Fall die Hoffnung stirbt zuletzt und ich denke so schlecht sieht es gar icht aus. berall Steigerungen außer der Müll der Verkauft oder geschlossen oder Abgeschrieben werden muß.

Bis denne Dagobert01

Also zu den 25 Mill. Aktien ist zu sagen, dass wahrscheinlich vorsorglich 50 Mill. bei der SEC registriert worden sind. Ob die 50 Mill. dann tatsächlich an den Markt gebracht werden, kann dann adsx entscheiden. Die übrigen 25 Mill. können als noch später verkauft werden.

Applied Digital Solutions Announces Recruitment of Dr. Ingo Stark as Senior Researcher at Thermo Life Energy Corporation
Tuesday May 20, 9:24 am ET


PALM BEACH, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 20, 2003-- Dr. Stark helped in development of original Thermo Life(TM) technology
a miniaturized thermoelectric generator powered by body heat - and in achieving 3.0-volt breakthrough last year
Thermo Life patent application filed yesterday

Applied Digital Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq: ADSX - News) today announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, Thermo Life Energy Corporation, has recruited Dr. Ingo Stark, a founder of the German research company called DTS, as a senior researcher. Dr. Stark will report to Dr. Peter Zhou, President-Applied Digital Solutions Research Group and Chief Scientist for Applied Digital Solutions.

Dr. Stark has been intimately involved in the development of the Thermo Life technology - a miniaturized, thermoelectric generator powered by body heat. Applied Digital Solutions announced last year that it had succeeded in increasing the voltage generated by Thermo Life from 1.5 volts to 3.0 volts.

With Dr. Stark joining the Thermo Life research and development team, the Company`s near-term goals include expanding the research facilities in Riverside, CA, followed by commercial introduction of Thermo Life later this year. The Company filed a US patent application yesterday (May 19, 2003) with regard to this technology.

Thermo Life - a half-inch diameter, ceramic-based "battery" - is a solid-state device that would never require replenishment. The Company believes that Thermo Life technology has a wide variety of potential uses that include the powering of electronic devices, wristwatches, medical devices, smoke detectors and other heat-related sensors. If Thermo Life performs as expected in commercial applications, this technology could effectively eliminate the need to periodically replace the power source of these devices. Thermo Life technology can also provide an independent, heat-generated power source for security related sensors.

Since announcing the 3.0-volt achievement last July, Applied Digital has been providing demonstrations of the technology to potential licensees on a confidential basis. The Company has also been working with a number of companies and agencies to develop specific, customer-driven applications.

While at DTS, Dr. Stark specialized in the development of thin-film, low-power thermoelectric generators that have the ability to convert thermal energy directly into electrical energy. The low-power thermoelectric generator (LPTG) is a new, self-sufficient energy source for micro and sensor systems in consumer and industrial applications. The LPTG device creates relatively high electrical energy output at a very low heat flow. This makes it possible to use the difference between body temperature and environmental temperature to generate useful electrical power. In addition, the thin-film technology offers a cost-efficient process for mass production. Examples of these applications include electronic wristwatches, electronic heat-cost allocators, active transponders, self-sufficiently powered temperature displays, self-sufficiently powered temperature warning systems, and recharging of mobile electronics.

Dr. Stark was also involved in the creation of infrared sensors utilizing the same flat, space-saving and "robust" device construction found in the LPTG. Applications include various household appliances, motion detectors, air conditioning, electronic heat-cost allocators, temperature monitoring, and air-measurement equipment.

wohl wieder mal eine booster rakete defekt....lol

[Phunxter]

Na ja Leute, witzig ist es wirklich nicht ( leider ). In einem US Board war zu lesen, dass Silverman wohl, wenn er MAL zu Wort kam, nicht wirklich viel zu berichten hatte! Der Hammer war wohl, dass der Moderator der Sendung ganz geschickt auch auf Produkte der Konkurrenz aufmerksam machte ( vermutlich deshalb, weil er selbst Aktien von dieser Firma besitzt !!! )

Für mich steht fest, dass war die letzte Chance, mit einer richtig dicken NEWS aufmerksam zu werden, um den Kurs über den DOLLAR zu puschen. Wir werden es in den nächsten 12 Tagen wohl nicht mehr schaffen , und ich nächste Woche verkaufen , da ich in den USA nicht handeln kann/werde/will.

Was meint ihr......

[2Tuvok]

Und gleich nur noch elf Tage.
Wenn die Konkurrenz besser
ist,und sich nicht nur besser
verkaufen kann,dann sieht es
wohl wirklich schlecht aus.
Ich kann mir eigentlich kein

GAME OVER HAB GESTERN ALLES ZU 0.41 EUR VERKAUFT. AB DIENSTAG SIND WIR AN DEN PINKS! WERDE ADSX WEITER VERFOLGEN. VIEL GLÜCK EUCH WEITERHIN

[puscher]

Game over?!
Am 30. Juni muss adsx 30 mill. $ an IBM zurück zahlen, das kann ja noch passieren.
Aber an die pink sheets müssen sie wohl (oder geht auch OTC?), denn vor Juli hätte der Kurs an 10 Handelstagen über 1 $ sein müssen. Die Frage ist, ob dann adsx in Deutschland noch gehandelt werden kann?
Ich bin schon länger raus, denn inzwischen konnte man mit chinesischen Internet- und Kommunikationswerten gut Geld verdienen.
Allerdings verfolge ich adsx weiter, weil ich annehme, dass sie bei guten news (FDA usw.) noch mal nach oben schnellen.

Hoffentlich hören wir noch mal voneinander

[Phunxter]

Yo Puscher, wenn du mal nen Tip für nen PENNY-STOCK am Start hast, lass es mich wissen, mein Depot gibt nicht mehr viel her

ADSX wird , wenn es an die PINKS geht, in Deutschland nicht mehr gehandelt. Die Info hab ich von der Börse in Berlin bekommen! Ist also wohl definitiv.

[Brainstorm01]

Moin Phunxter u. Puscher,

wo habt ihr denn die Info her, mit dem 1$ Zeitrahmen?? Davon hab ich nichts mitbekommen, dass das jetzt zur Zeit erreicht werden musste - da ja die Nasdaq ihre Regeln geändert hat.

Thx
Brainy

[puscher]

Hallo phunxter,
sieh dir mal den thread der Aktie sohu an.
(Sina + sohu.com, wer wird die Nr. 1 in China, Teil 3)
Ich glaube, adsx kommt nur an die OTC, das ist immerhin noch eingeregelter Markt und OTC-Aktien werden weiter in Deutschland gehandelt. An die pink sheets kommt man nur, wenn wirklich etwas verbrochen hat (kein rechtzeitiges filing usw.). Ein Kurs unter 1 $ ist kein Vergehen!

@Brainstorm
Adsx war ja schon mal ungerechter Weise an den pink sheets.
Adsx hat sich wieder in den nasdaq small cap market reingeklagt. Die besondere Auflage war aber, bis zum Juli alle Bedingungen eines listings zu erfüllen, dazu ghört nun mal ein Kurs über 1 $.
Z.T. nachzulesen im SEC filing: Qtrly. Report vom 14.Nov. 2002

MfG

[Brainstorm01]

CEOcast on ADSX, 06/29/03...

The tension is mounting.

We continue to believe that Applied Digital Solutions (NASDAQ: ADSX), an advanced technology development company, will resolve its $95 million liabiltiy to IBM Credit before the June 30th deadline. While the company would already have announced it if a deal had been reached, it would not surprise us if the negotiations went right up until the end of the deadline Monday night. The company has said little about ongoing activities, but we doubt it would have sold 50 million shares of stock to investors unless it had a high degree of confidence that the situation would be resolved. The company`s new management team is facing its first early test, and we expect it will succeed. So what should happen to the stock if they repay IBM? Strictly on a simplistic basis, the company`s stock market valuation should rise by $65 million, reflecting the retirement of the debt for $30 million. We estimate that with approximately 500 million shares outstanding, the stock should increase to at least 64 cents just based upon the balance sheet effect, and then some significant premium above that to account for the company`s ability to remove a creditor which could have caused it to go bankrupt. If the company is successful, we would expect the stock could rally 40% or more on the news. If it is unsuccessful, it could fall to levels seen earlier this year of 17-20 cents. Investors will not have long to wait, as we expect the company to issue an update no later than Tuesday. The stock ended the week at $0.51.

Applied Digital Solutions Makes $30 Million Payment to IBM Credit, LLC, Satisfying All Outstanding Debt Obligations to IBM

30 Jun 2003, 3:09pm ET

PALM BEACH, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 30, 2003--

Payment Improves the Company`s Cash Flow and Liquidity -
Strengthens Net Worth and Shareholder Equity on Balance Sheet

Applied Digital Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq: ADSX - News) an advanced technology development company, announced today that it has made a $30 million payment to IBM Credit, LLC, the Company`s former senior secured creditor.

Under the Forbearance Agreement with IBM Credit (announced on March 27, 2003), the Company had the right to purchase all of its debt of approximately $95 million (including accrued interest) with a payment of $30 million by June 30, 2003. This $30 million payment, which was finalized today, satisfies in full the Company`s debt obligations to IBM. In 2002, Applied Digital Solutions and Digital Angel Corporation (AMEXOC), which is majority owned by the Company, reported consolidated revenues of $99.6 million.

The payment to IBM Credit increases the Company`s cash flow and liquidity. With this payment, the Company has also significantly strengthened shareholder equity on its balance sheet, increased its net worth, and eliminated the negative cash flow for IBM debt payments. The Company also expects to recognize a gain from the settlement of the IBM debt.

Simultaneous with the $30 million payment, the Company completed a $10.5 million, 8.5% convertible debenture transaction with an investor group. The investors can convert the debentures into shares of ADSX`s common stock (subject, in part, to shareholder approval) or shares of common stock the Company already owns in Digital Angel Corporation. The fixed-price conversion feature represents a 5.0% premium based on current ADSX market prices, subject to dilution provisions. Subject to certain conditions, the regular interest (8.5% per annum) and amortization payments for the 29-month debentures (due June 29, 2006) may be made (at the Company`s option) in cash or the shares the Company owns in DOC.

In addition, ADSX has granted warrants to the investors that are exercisable for approximately 5.35 million shares of ADSX`s common stock, or 950,000 of the shares the Company owns in DOC, or a combination of shares from both companies. The exercise prices represent a 15% premium based upon current market prices, subject to dilution provisions. The warrants vest immediately and expire in June 2007.

"This IBM payment represents an important turning point for Applied Digital," commented Scott R. Silverman, Chairman and CEO. "In the most recent shareholder conference call and in our 2002 annual report, I referred to satisfaction of our debt obligations to IBM Credit as the first pillar of the Company`s foundation for the future. Now that we have strengthened our capital structure, our priorities are to build on this foundation by achieving cash flow positive operating results and revenue growth through sales of our personal safeguard technologies, particularly Digital Angel(TM) and VeriChip(TM)."

Solusat Launches Its First Mass Application for Verichip - Solusat MedicA...and Presents Testimonies of People in Mexico Who Have Had Implants
17 Jul 2003, 1:02pm ET

MEXICO, D.F.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 17, 2003--Soluciones de Localizacion Satelital, S. de R.L. de C.V. (SOLUSAT), an advanced technology company and exclusive representative of Applied Digital Solutions, Inc (Nasdaq: ADSX) in Mexico, today announced the launch of SOLUSAT MEDICA, as part of its marketing strategy for the advanced technology product VERICHIP(TM).

SOLUSAT MEDICA is an application aimed at the general public, which allows VERICHIP users to provide paramedics and doctors with basic medical information in an emergency situation, enabling them to take fast and effective decisions, regardless of the physical condition of the patient at the time of an emergency. The type of information provided does not compromise either the condition of the user or his privacy, since this information is used exclusively for medical purposes to assist doctors in the event of an emergency.

The above-mentioned information basically refers to blood type, known allergies, prescribed drugs, a description of the patient`s aliments and the name and telephone of the head physician, etc.

SOLUSAT MEDICA is a database containing medical information pertaining to VERICHIP users, which can be accessed via the Internet. Associated hospitals and emergency services will have access to this information for consultation purposes, while users can consult and update their data via the Internet or by calling our customer service department`s toll-free number. To guarantee the confidentiality of this information, associates and users will be furnished with a user name and password that affords them access to the database.

According to Antonio Aceves, Director General of SOLUSAT, "Without a shadow of a doubt, this application will give VERICHIP users confidence and peace of mind. In a matter of seconds, it provides extremely important information in the event of an emergency and regardless of the condition of the patient, information that could mean the difference between life and death. It also notifies the patient`s physician and relatives immediately of his whereabouts. And it doesn`t matter if the patient has a prior medical condition or not, because we`re all susceptible to accidents and health crises," he said.

The VERICHIP costs $150.00 dollars plus V.A.T. and can be implanted at any VERICHIP (CIV) Implant Center in participating medical centers. SOLUSAT MEDICA users will be charged an annual fee of $500.00 pesos. Access to associated hospitals is free of charge.

The infrastructure required by associated physicians does not imply any great expenditure, because all that is needed is a scanner connected to a computer with Internet access. In addition to marketing the VERICHIP for SOLUSAT MEDICA, SOLUSAT is working in conjunction with private and state-run hospitals and health-care institutions throughout the country, with a view to ensuring that the infrastructure required for reading the VERICHIP is available on the mass market. In fact, we have already initiated a campaign for the donation of scanning equipment to institutions such as the Red Cross, the Mexican Alzheimer Association and several other public organizations.

During the press conference, VERICHIP users whose medical data is available on SOLUSAT MEDICA gave testimonies regarding the product. These users included Manuel Rosillo, a musician with a heart complaint, Francisco Pujano, a 32-year-old salesman who suffered a cerebral aneurysm at the age of 28, Luis Valdez, a bio-chemical engineer with Type I diabetes and Marcos Escandon, who has been involved in a couple of motorbike accidents.

"I have been in situations where a lack of information has put my life at risk. I once suffered a diabetes attack in the street while visiting another city. I practically dropped down dead in a diabetic coma. Fortunately, the paramedics didn`t hook me up to a glucose drip, as that would have cost me my life. This technology gives me peace of mind and confidence, because it provides information about who I am, what is wrong with me and who to contact in a similar situation," said Luis Valdez.

"Fortunately, I don`t have any medical ailments, but I`ve been unlucky enough to be involved in a couple of serious accidents that have landed me in an emergency room. I didn`t think twice about having a VERICHIP implanted, after witnessing the distress caused to my family when they couldn`t find me, plus the risk of being attended to by a doctor who doesn`t know whether I have a medical condition or not. This way I`ll always be sure to have my identity and my medical data on me," said Marcos Escandon.

"I used to lead a normal, active life and although I suffered from a lot of work-related stress, I never imagined I`d have a health problem as serious as this at my age. So far, I`ve suffered two heart attacks that have put my life at risk. I`ve undergone heart surgery and I`m under permanent treatment and medical supervision, which makes VERICHIP an extremely useful product for me," said Manuel Rosillo.

SOLUSAT LAUNCHES ITS FIRST MASS APLLICATION FOR VERICHIP(TM) - SOLUSAT MEDICA According to Francisco Pujana, "I was extremely interested in having a VERICHIP implant after suffering a cerebral aneurysm. When I have an attack, I don`t remember where I am or understand what`s happening around me, and it can sometimes last for a long time, so for safety reasons, I opted for VERICHIP.

About VERICHIP

VERICHIP is a minute radio-frequency device implanted for personal identification purposes. It has a wide variety of applications, such as personal safety and identification, providing general medical information on the user in the event of accident or emergency, and since it has restricted access, confidentiality is guaranteed, making it suitable for financial applications, too. Each VERICHIP contains a unique, confidential 16-digit number for verification purposes, which is inputted by the user. The implant procedure takes approximately five to seven seconds.

US Co Launches Implantable Tracking Chip In Mexico



MEXICO CITY (AP)--Borrowing from technology for tracking pets, a U.S. company on Thursday launched Mexican sales of microchips that can be implanted under a person`s skin and used to confirm health history and identity.

The microchips, already available in the United States, could tap into a growing industry surrounding Mexico`s criminal concerns. Kidnappings, robberies and fraud are common here, and Mexicans are constantly looking for ways to protect themselves against crime.

The microchip, the size of a grain of rice, is implanted in the arm or hip. Hospital officials and security guards use a scanning device to download a serial number, which they then use to access blood type, name and other information on a computer.

In a two-hour presentation, Palm Beach, Fla.-based Applied Digital Solutions Inc.(NASDAQ-SMALL:ADSX) (ADSX) introduced reporters to the VeriChip and used a syringe-like device and local anesthetic to implant a sample in the right arm of employee Carlos Altamirano.

"It doesn`t hurt at all," he said. "The whole process is just painless."

Another chip user, Luis Valdez, who is diabetic, said the chip is "as innovative to me as the cell phone."

In the United States, the Food and Drug Administration has said it would not regulate the implant as long as it contains no medical data. Thus, the information is stored in a separate database and not on the chip itself. Although regulations are different in Mexico, the Mexican version of the chip will still use the database framework.

Antonio Aceves, the director of the Mexican company in charge of distributing the chip here, said that in the first year of sales, the company hoped to implant chips in 10,000 people and ensure that at least 70% of all hospitals had the technology to read the devices.

One chip costs $150 and has a $50 annual fee. The scanning device and related software cost $1,200. Users can update and manage their chips` information by calling a 24-hour customer service line.

Similar technology has been used on dogs and cats as a way to identify the pets if they are lost or stolen.

Company officials said they are working on developing similar technology that would use satellites to help find people who may have been kidnapped.

While the idea of using the chip to track people has raised privacy concerns in the United States, the idea has been popular with Mexicans.

For now, VeriChip can help confirm a kidnap victim`s identity only after a body is found.

New Chip Can Be Implanted in Humans

Digital Angel Corporation Signs Six New International Distribution Agreements for Argentina, Colombia, Venezuela, the Caribbean, the Dominican Republic and Russia
Thursday July 24, 9:18 am ET
Based on Minimum Purchase Quotas, Five-Year Revenue Potential From These Agreements Could Exceed $35 Million
Second-generation Digital Angel Personal Location GPS Product has GSM Protocol and a High Sensitivity GPS receiver.


SO. ST. PAUL, Minn., July 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Digital Angel Corporation (Amex: DOC - News) announced today that it has signed six new exclusive distribution agreements with distributors in Argentina, Colombia, Venezuela, the Caribbean, the Dominican Republic and Russia.
Each distributor must meet annual purchase quotas of Digital Angel(TM) products to maintain its status as an exclusive distributor in each particular country or region. If all six of these new distributors meet their annual purchase quotas, total potential five-year revenue from these agreements could exceed $35 million.

As announced in January 2003, Digital Angel Corporation is developing a second-generation Digital Angel product with GSM (Global System for Mobile communications) wireless protocol and a high sensitivity GPS receiver. As a result of changing Digital Angel`s wireless protocol -- from CDPD which was principally used in the United States to the more widely used GSM -- and incorporating GPS reception enhancements, the Company discontinued production of its first-generation CDPD product and has been designing for production a smaller, technologically more advanced unit. All shipments of Digital Angel personal location GPS products have, therefore, been held in abeyance until the release of the improved second-generation product.

Digital Angel provides users with cellular and GPS satellite connectivity to a 24/7 call center that can process emergency alerts. The GPS technology provides real-time emergency location capability via authorized access to a secure website.

Applied Digital Solutions Announces Improved Financial Results for the Second Quarter and First Half of 2003

August 14, 2003 16:00:00 (ET)


PALM BEACH, Fla., Aug 14, 2003 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Applied Digital Solutions, Inc. (ADSX, Trade), an advanced technology development company, today reported its consolidated results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2003. The Company`s consolidated financial results include the balance sheets, operating results and cash flows of its majority-owned subsidiaries, Digital Angel Corporation (DOC, Trade), and InfoTech USA, Inc., formerly SysComm International Corporation (IFTH, Trade).

Net income from continuing operations for the three-month period ended June 30, 2003, was $56.8 million, or $0.18 per share, including a $70.4 million one-time gain for forgiveness of indebtedness due to the satisfaction of the Company`s debt obligation to IBM Credit, LLC. Second quarter net income compares to a net loss from continuing operations of $19.5 million, or $(0.07) per share, for the year-ago quarter.

The Company`s cash balance increased by over $700,000 due to stricter internal cash management and the acceleration of collections from accounts receivable. Net worth increased by over $78 million to $14.3 million.

Revenue from continuing operations in the second quarter of 2003 was $20.9 million, compared with $25.8 million for the year-ago quarter.

The Company also announced today that it is increasing its investment in Digital Angel Corporation (DOC). Commenting on DOC, Scott R. Silverman, Chairman and CEO of Applied Digital Solutions, said: "Management believes DOC is greatly undervalued at the present time given the growth opportunities for its proprietary animal identification, bio-sensing, and personal safeguard/emergency location technologies." Mr. Silverman has recently joined the Board of Directors of DOC, and the Company will soon nominate one additional Director to DOC`s Board.

Included in the Company`s second quarter results is revenue of $148,000 from its wholly-owned subsidiary, VeriChip Corporation. Although this represents only a percentage of VeriChip license fees and product sales to date, the second quarter results reflect the first revenue recognition for this subsidiary.

For the six months ended June 30, 2003, the Company reported revenue from continuing operations of $46.0 million and net income from continuing operations of $30.0 million or $0.10 per share. In comparison, the Company reported revenues from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2002, of $54.1 million and a net loss from continuing operations of $44.2 million or $(0.17) per share.

REMINDER: The Company will hold a conference call today at 4:30 p.m. (ET). U.S.-based participants should call 888-359-6744; International participants should call 706-679-0604.

VeriChip Corp. Signs Five-Year, Exclusive Distribution Agreement for Brazil - Initial Order of More Than 800 Subdermal RFID VeriChips

17 September 2003, 09:47am ET

PALM BEACH, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 17, 2003--

Applied Digital Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq: ADSX), an advanced technology development company, today announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, VeriChip Corporation, has signed a five-year, exclusive distribution agreement with Metro Risk Management Group, LLC, for the country of Brazil.

About the size of a grain of rice, VeriChip(TM) is the world`s first subdermal, radio frequency identification (RFID) microchip that can be used in a variety of security, financial, emergency identification and other applications.

Under the terms of the new distribution agreement for Brazil, the initial order consists of more than 800 VeriChips and 24 proprietary scanners. The five-year distribution agreement for Brazil requires the distributor to meet annual minimum purchase requirements in order to maintain exclusive distribution rights in that country. Over the five years covered by this agreement, the minimum purchase requirement is 75,000 VeriChips and 3800 proprietary scanners.

Headquartered in Miami, Florida, Metro Risk Management Group, LLC, is an international risk management agency with twelve offices worldwide. United States Offices: Miami, FL; New York, NY; Norfolk, VA; Seattle, WA; Washington, DC. International Offices: Bogota, Colombia; Buenos Aires, Argentina; Caracas, Venezuela; Dubai, United Arab Emirates; Madrid, Spain; Mexico City, Mexico; Santiago, Chile.

The Company also announced today that Solusat, the exclusive VeriChip distributor in Mexico, has ordered an additional 1,500 VeriChips to meet growing demand in that country. This order is over and above the 1,000 VeriChips that Solusat already received earlier this year. At a press conference and live "chipping" event in Mexico City on July 17, 2003, Solusat launched "SOLUSAT MEDICA," a special unit created to promote the many healthcare-related applications of VeriChip in Mexico.

The Company believes these new orders - which bring third-quarter VeriChip sales to more than 5,000 - demonstrate increased momentum in marketing VeriChip`s unique, personal verification and security solutions around the world.

Digital Angel Corporation Partners With VeriPrime, Inc., and Other Industry Leaders in Launching a New Era of Food Safety, Quality and Security
Wednesday September 17, 2:55 pm ET


SOUTH ST. PAUL, Minn., Sept. 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Digital Angel Corporation (Amex: DOC - News) today announced that VeriPrime, Inc., a partner of its Animal Applications unit (formerly Destron-Fearing Corporation) has launched a new era of food safety, quality and security.
ADVERTISEMENT


At a news conference held earlier today at the Dirksen Senate Office Building in Washington, D.C. and attended by government officials, VeriPrime, Inc., Burger King Corp., Swift & Co., ConAgra Cattle Feeding Co., Consolidated Beef Producers, and other food industry leaders launched the VeriPrime food safety system.

VeriPrime is a member-owned and member-directed food safety and food security organization providing a framework that brings together all segments of the industry in a way that enables improvement through cooperation without interfering with competition. VeriPrime is led by founder and CEO, Scott Crain, DVM. The initial focus will be on beef industry issues. These include improved E.coli protection, the beginning of a comprehensive animal identification and tracking system, verification of safeguards against cattle feed contamination and standards of animal welfare that exceed those now required by most grocery and restaurant chains.

Digital Angel is a leader in the U.S. animal identification market and is committed to help shape the future of the new industry. The Company is actively participating in the C.O.O.L. (Country-Of-Origin Labeling) program. Digital Angel Corporation has established business relationships and alliances with VeriPrime and other companies to maintain industry leadership in this newly evolving market.

Digital Angel Corporation`s products and systems are uniquely positioned for this new industry. Its animal identification systems feature patented RFID implantable microchips, e.Tags(TM), scanning systems, global positioning, biosensors and software for frictionless data collection. Being computer- based, they facilitate more rapid isolation of diseased animals and expedite the removal of tainted product from distribution. The Company has been testing its most advanced products for livestock traceability in rigorous field trials with some of the United States` largest food processing companies.

In addition to being a valuable food safety verification tool, the computerized systems allow producers to automatically collect, report and store data on individual animals, personnel, and husbandry practices. Among the specific benefits are: (1) individual animal quality and productivity reports; (2) inventory control and supply chain management; (3) herd health journals; (4) carcass-tracking; and (5) individual and farm labor efficiency reports.

The system also incorporates the latest in wireless technology, web-enabled PDAs and database design to provide utility and scalability. It provides "real-time" reports for immediate decisions, trend analyses and performance assessments.

The systems are an example of Digital Angel Corporation`s ability to develop timely market driven products and systems utilizing its patented platform technologies in implantable microchips, wireless data management and sensors for innovative products to identify, locate and monitor people, animals and objects.

Earlier this year, the company announced U.S. FDA and USDA animal clearance to market Bio-Thermo(TM), an advanced implantable chip that measures the internal body temperature of livestock and dairy animals.

About Digital Angel Corporation

Digital Angel(TM) technology represents the first-ever combination of advanced sensors and Web-enabled wireless telecommunications linked to Global Positioning Systems (GPS). By utilizing advanced sensor capabilities, Digital Angel is able to monitor key functions -- such as ambient temperature and physical movement -- and transmit that data, along with accurate emergency location information, to a ground station or monitoring facility. The company also invented, manufactures and markets implantable identification microchips the size of a grain of rice for use in humans, companion pets, fish and livestock. Digital Angel Corp. owns the patents for its inventions in all applications of the implantable microchip technology for humans and animals. On March 27, 2002, Digital Angel Corporation completed a merger with Medical Advisory Systems, Inc., which for two decades has operated a 24/7, physician-staffed response center in Owings, Maryland. Applied Digital Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq: ADSX - News) is the majority owner of the company. For more information about Digital Angel Corp., visit www.DigitalAngelCorp.com.

Statements about the company`s future expectations, including future revenues and earnings, and all other statements in this press release other than historical facts are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and as that term is defined in the Private Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

OTC Stock Insights!

NOTE TO EDITORS: The Following Is an Investment Opinion Being Issued by Wall Street Capital Funding.

WESTON, FL, Sep. 18, 2003 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) -- Wall Street News Alert`s "stocks to watch" this morning are: Proxity Networks, Inc. (OTC: PDNW), Applied Digital Sol (NASDAQ: ADSX), Advanced Optics Elec (OTC BB: ADOT) and Sprint PCS Group (NYSE: PCS).

Aggressive investors need to watch Proxity Networks, Inc. (OTC: PDNW) this morning! Yesterday after the markets closed, the company issued a press release stating that its wholly owned subsidiary, On Alert Systems, Inc. will introduce Airborne Surveillance at GEO-INTEL 2003 Show in New Orleans on October 14th thru the 17th. On Alert will market and distribute what it considers to be one of the answers to Homeland Security`s problem in surveillance of our borders, harbors, airports and other important potential targets for acts of terrorism or natural disasters. The company will be selling or leasing airships equipped with technology capable of monitoring activities in virtually any day or night environment. On Alert`s new product line will also include airborne surveillance utilizing UAV`s (Unmanned Air Vehicles) both autonomous and controlled.

The two technologies currently in use, satellites and antenna-based terrestrial networks, are expensive and have limitations. Airships are less expensive, can be launched quickly and recovered for repair and modifications. This makes them unique delivery and surveillance platforms. Billy Robinson, CEO, said, "The GEO-INTEL show will allow us to introduce our teaming partners and their line of products to local, federal and international clients. The exposure from this show could bring new opportunities in a number of targeted markets." Investors are certainly going to want to keep an eye on this company!

Stocks showing interesting activity yesterday were: Applied Digital Solutions (NASDAQ: ADSX) up 12.2% on 42.5 million shares traded, Advanced Optics Electronics (OTC BB: ADOT) even on 32.9 million shares traded and Sprint PCS Group (NYSE: PCS) up 4.3% on 21.5 million shares traded.

Commentary: Miscellaneous Ramblings

Mortgage rates fell last week as bond yields fell. The 30-year fixed mortgage rate averaged 6.16% from 6.44% a week earlier according to Freddie Mac. Jobless numbers rose by 3,000 to 422,000. Economists had expected the numbers to go down 13,000 and this is one reason that there was a weaker bond and falling mortgage rates.

"Last week the House passed legislation that would give you, the consumer, a free annual access to your credit report and the ability to thwart identity theft with one phone call. Don`t make that phone call yet, this is still to become a law," stated Sonja Rudd in Wall Street News Alert`s daily commentary continued at: http://www.WallStreetNewsAlert.com.

VeriChip Corporation Receives Initial Purchase Orders for over 700 Subdermal RFID VeriChips and 60 Proprietary Scanners for Colombia and Venezuela

Product shipments expected to begin next week

PALM BEACH, Fla., Sep 19, 2003 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Applied Digital Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq: ADSX), an advanced technology development company, today announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, VeriChip Corporation, has received initial purchase orders for over 700 subdermal VeriChips and 60 proprietary scanners from its exclusive distributor for Colombia and Venezuela. Product shipments are expected to begin next week.

About the size of a grain of rice, VeriChip(TM) is the world`s first subdermal, radio frequency identification (RFID) microchip that can be used in a variety of security, financial, emergency identification and other applications.

The Company announced on July 23, 2003, that it had signed exclusive, five-year distribution agreements for the countries of Colombia and Venezuela. The distributor for both countries is headquartered in Bogota, Colombia.

Under the terms of the distribution agreements, the distributor must meet annual minimum purchase requirements in order to maintain exclusive distribution rights in each country. Over the five years covered by these agreements, the minimum purchase requirement for Colombia and Venezuela combined - not including the initial purchase orders announced today - is 27,000 VeriChips and 1,380 scanners.

The distributor for Colombia and Venezuela specializes in security and healthcare information solutions and plans to market VeriChip in both countries in a wide range of security, emergency identification and healthcare information areas.

About VeriChip(TM)

VeriChip is a subdermal, radio frequency identification (RFID) device that can be used in a variety of security, financial, emergency identification and other applications. About the size of a grain of rice, each VeriChip product contains a unique verification number that is captured by briefly passing a proprietary scanner over the VeriChip. A small amount of radio frequency energy passes from the scanner energizing the dormant VeriChip, which then emits a radio frequency signal transmitting the verification number. In October 2002, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) ruled that VeriChip is not a regulated device with regard to its security, financial, personal identification/safety applications but that VeriChip`s healthcare information applications are regulated by the FDA.

Little Chip in the Big Apple!; New York City`s first subdermal RFID VeriChip ``chipping`` procedure performed yesterday at lower Manhattan Authorized VeriChip Center

Journalist researching a story about RFID technologies undergoes brief outpatient procedure at the office of Dr. Christopher Mills and Dr. Vincent Scarpinato

PALM BEACH, Fla., Sep 25, 2003 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Applied Digital Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq: ADSX), an advanced technology development company, today announced that New York City`s first subdermal VeriChip(TM) "chipping" procedure was performed yesterday (September 24, 2003) at the Company`s lower Manhattan Authorized VeriChip Center.

A journalist at a technology-related trade publication decided to Get Chipped(TM) in researching an upcoming article regarding RFID (radio frequency identification) technologies, including VeriChip. The lower Manhattan Authorized VeriChip Center is located in the office of Dr. Christopher Mills and Dr. Vincent Scarpinato, 88 University Place, New York City (Tel: [phone]).

The brief outpatient "chipping" procedure lasts just a few minutes and involves only local anesthetic followed by quick, painless insertion of the VeriChip. About the size of a grain of rice, the subdermal RFID VeriChip can be used in a variety of security, financial, emergency identification and other applications. The standard location of the microchip is in the triceps area between the elbow and the shoulder of the right arm. Once inserted just under the skin, the VeriChip is inconspicuous to the naked eye.

VeriChip Corporation Increases Its Washington, D.C. Presence -- Retains Stanley L. Reid to Market Subdermal RFID VeriChip to Federal Agencies
Monday September 29, 1:13 pm ET


PALM BEACH, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 29, 2003--Applied Digital Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADSX - News), an advanced technology development company, today announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, VeriChip Corporation, has retained the services of Stanley "Stan" L. Reid, a longtime technology industry executive and former congressional aide with extensive experience and wide contacts in Washington, D.C., to market VeriChip(TM) secure identification solutions to federal agencies.
ADVERTISEMENT


VeriChip is a subdermal, radio frequency identification (RFID) device that can be used in a variety of security, financial, emergency identification and other applications. About the size of a grain of rice, each VeriChip product contains a unique verification number that is captured by briefly passing a proprietary scanner over the VeriChip.

Since 1996, Mr. Reid has served as president of Strategic Sciences, a Washington, D.C.-area consulting firm that specializes in marketing advanced technologies to the federal government. Mr. Reid has particular expertise in selling new, introductory technologies to government agencies, including the Departments of Defense (DoD), Energy (DoE) and State, as well as the agencies that have been incorporated into the Department of Homeland Security.

Prior to launching Strategic Sciences in 1996, Mr. Reid worked as Vice President of BNFL, Inc., and as Acting Director, Defense Programs, at the U.S. Department of Energy (DoE). In this appointed position during the Reagan Administration, Mr. Reid held both U.S. DoD and U.S. DoE security clearances. From 1983-1986, Mr. Reid served as Washington Representative for Rockwell International. For three years prior to this appointment, he worked as a Legislative Director for a member of the U.S. House of Representatives, serving in this capacity as a direct liaison to the Committee on Science and Technology.

Retaining Mr. Reid to lead the VeriChip marketing effort in Washington, D.C. continues the Company`s ongoing program, first announced last year in the "Protected by VeriChip" awareness initiative, to demonstrate VeriChip`s potential as a secure identification technology with a variety of applications in the areas of homeland security and defense.

The Company has been actively developing applications for VeriChip in which VeriChip could be use to control authorized access to government installations and private-sector buildings, nuclear power plants, national research laboratories, and sensitive transportation resources including airports and seaports. In these applications, VeriChip could function as a stand-alone, tamper-proof personal verification technology or it could operate in conjunction with other security technologies such as standard ID badges, smart cards and advanced biometric devices (i.e. retina scanners, thumbprint readers or face recognition devices).

Signing Mr. Reid adds to the Company`s presence in the important Washington, D.C. market. In September, 2002, the Company announced the establishment of its first Authorized VeriChip Center in the Washington, D.C. area. This Center is headed by world-renowned plastic surgeon, Dr. Csaba Magassy, operating from his existing practice, Plastic Surgery Associates in McLean, Virginia. On August 14, 2002, Dr. Magassy performed the first VeriChip outpatient "chipping" procedures in the Washington, D.C. area on three executives from Applied Digital`s subsidiary, Computer Equity (Compec)/Government Telecommunications (GTI).

(Nasdaq: ADSX), an advanced technology development company, announced today that Solusat, the Company`s exclusive distributor of VeriChip(TM) products and services in Mexico, has signed a cooperation agreement with Mexico`s National Foundation for the Investigation of Lost and Kidnapped Children (Fundacion Nacional de Investigaciones de Ninos Robados y Desaparecidos).

As part of this initiative, Solusat is launching a new VeriKid(TM) program to provide an emergency identification component to the overall child safeguard effort in Mexico.

VeriChip Corporation, Applied Digital Solutions` wholly owned subsidiary, is signaling its strong support for this initiative by donating 25 VeriChips to the National Foundation to assist in kicking off this exciting child safeguard program in Mexico.

About the size of a grain of rice, VeriChip is the world`s first subdermal, radio frequency identification (RFID) microchip that can be used in a variety of security, financial, emergency identification and other applications.

The cooperation agreement means that Solusat and the National Foundation will work together on a range of child-safeguard projects in Mexico. With the launch of VeriKid, Mexico becomes the first country in the world to offer VeriChip`s new VeriKid system designed to provide a secure emergency identification system for lost, missing and kidnapped children. It is expected that the VeriKid application will soon become available in other countries, including the United States, after its introduction in Mexico.

According to the National Foundation, approximately 133,000 Mexican children disappeared over the last five years for reasons ranging from abduction, illegal organ trafficking and family problems. Roughly one thousand of these children are estimated to be victims of kidnapping.

Solusat will work with the National Foundation to develop a program for the distribution of VeriChip scanners to police stations, hospitals and other strategic locations to help with the emergency child identification initiative. The following projects are envisioned by Solusat as it works in coordination with the National Foundation:

-- A program to promote VeriKid safeguard solutions in schools;

-- A community-based control and security program involving
supermarkets, airports, bus stations and other entities that
would connect with the VeriKid program;

-- A fundraising program to generate financial support for the
National Foundation`s various projects to safeguard children
in Mexico. It is also expected that Solusat will contribute a
certain percentage of VeriKid sales in Mexico to the
Foundation.

About the National Foundation for the Investigation of Lost and Kidnapped Children

Founded in 1997, the National Foundation is a private, non-profit organization that works closely with Mexican police and other government agencies to locate missing children, provide family assistance, and establish child-safety-related educational and other preventive programs in schools throughout Mexico.

About VeriChip(TM)

VeriChip is a subdermal, radio frequency identification (RFID) device that can be used in a variety of security, financial, emergency identification and other applications. About the size of a grain of rice, each VeriChip product contains a unique verification number that is captured by briefly passing a proprietary scanner over the VeriChip. The standard location of the microchip is in the triceps area between the elbow and the shoulder of the right arm. The brief outpatient "chipping" procedure lasts just a few minutes and involves only local anesthetic followed by quick, painless insertion of the VeriChip. Once inserted just under the skin, the VeriChip is inconspicuous to the naked eye. A small amount of radio frequency energy passes from the scanner energizing the dormant VeriChip, which then emits a radio frequency signal transmitting the verification number. In October 2002, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) ruled that VeriChip is not a regulated device with regard to its security, financial, personal identification/safety applications but that VeriChip`s healthcare information applications are regulated by the FDA.

VeriChip Corporation Launches First in a Planned Series of ``VeriGuard``
Secure Access Control Applications
Thursday October 9, 9:44 am ET
First VeriGuard System Now Installed and Functioning
First-ever, wall-mounted, VeriChip-based entrance scanning device -
developed in response to specific customer demand - now ready for
commercial introduction


PALM BEACH, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 9, 2003-- Applied Digital
Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq: ADSX - News) an advanced technology development
company, announced today that its wholly owned subsidiary, VeriChip
Corporation, has developed the first in a planned series of
"VeriGuard(TM)" secure access control applications.
About the size of a grain of rice, VeriChip(TM) is the world`s first
subdermal, radio frequency identification (RFID) microchip that can be
used in a variety of security, financial, emergency identification and
other applications.

Named "VeriGuard-S.A.C." (Secure Access Control), the newly developed
device represents the first-ever deployment of a wall-mounted RFID (radio
frequency identification) subdermal VeriChip reader that has been
integrated into a building-access security system. In its present
configuration - already installed and functioning - the new
VeriGuard-S.A.C. reader consists of a high-powered RFID antenna encased in
a durable plastic panel that can be mounted near a doorway or building
entrance. The VeriGuard-S.A.C. scanner "reads" a passing subdermal
VeriChip by emitting a low-frequency radio signal and receiving a return
radio signal sent by the VeriChip`s transponder.

The VeriGuard-S.A.C. system, building on the Company`s previously
announced "Protected by VeriChip" initiative, was developed in response to
specific customer demand and is now ready for immediate commercial
introduction. Details about VeriGuard sales and shipments will be
available in the near future.

The hardware and software components of the VeriGuard-S.A.C. system work
together to authenticate personnel who are authorized to enter a given
building or facility and unlock a secure doorway if the person has
authorized access. The VeriGuard-S.A.C. panel can also be placed in
strategic locations within a building or facility to "track" the location
and movements of authorized personnel inside a secure area.

The accompanying software maintains a database of authorized personnel,
including key biometric information and/or photo-IDs. The sophisticated
software also maintains a log of all authorized entry or denial "events"
and can be programmed for various time zones to admit authorized personnel
at specific times but deny access at other times. The system can also be
used to permit access to certain areas of a facility but deny access to
high-security areas.

As designed, VeriGuard-S.A.C. could function as a stand-alone,
tamper-proof personal verification secure access technology or it could
operate in conjunction with other security technologies such as standard
ID badges, smart cards and advanced biometric devices (e.g. retina
scanners, thumbprint readers or face recognition devices). The Company
envisions incorporating variations of the VeriGuard solution into "Trusted
Traveler" programs.

VeriGuard-S.A.C. is the first in a planned series of secure access
applications. All potential VeriGuard applications represent variations on
the theme of preventing unauthorized access to physical premises of all
kinds (including commercial/government facilities and even residential
buildings); to bank and other financial accounts; to consumer electronic
devices, including everything from personal computers and laptops to
automobiles.

In addition to potential homeland security applications, the Company is
exploring the integration of VeriGuard solutions into existing residential
security systems, thereby offering unmatched family-based secure
identification and safeguard solutions for this important market.

Applied Digitial Solutions Updates Its Shareholders Regarding Its NASDAQListing Status

PALM BEACH, Fla., Oct 24, 2003 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Applied Digital Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADSX) issued the following update to its shareholders regarding its NASDAQ listing status:

The NASDAQ recently submitted a proposed, amended rule change relating to NASDAQ`s minimum bid requirement to the Securities and Exchange Commission for the SEC`s approval. If approved, the proposed rule would afford a SmallCap issuer, whose stock price is below the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement, two 180-day grace periods to regain compliance, the second grace period conditioned upon an issuer`s meeting all other initial listing requirements. Upon the expiration of the second 180-day compliance period, the SmallCap issuer would be eligible for a further compliance period, up to its next annual meeting, provided: (a) it satisfies all requirements for initial listing (except the bid price), and (b) it commits to seek shareholder approval for a reverse stock split to address the bid price deficiency at or before its next annual meeting, and "promptly thereafter" effects the reverse stock split. The shareholder meeting to seek approval of the reverse stock split must occur no later than two years from the original notification of the bid price deficiency.

The Company has not been in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement for over a year now. It has already been afforded two 180-day grace periods under NASDAQ`s existing rules, and an additional 90-day grace period which is scheduled to expire October 27, 2003. As previously disclosed, the Company expects to soon receive notification from the NASDAQ that the Company has failed to maintain a minimum closing bid price of at least $1.00 for ten consecutive trading days and, as a result, its stock is subject to delisting. In light of the pending NASDAQ rule change, the Company will appeal any delisting notice in order to seek guidance from NASDAQ about the application of the rule change under the Company`s specific circumstances.

At a special meeting of shareholders on September 10, 2003, the Company received approval to implement a reverse stock split on or before September 10, 2004. In light of the proposed rule change, the Company will seek guidance from the NASDAQ hearing panel as to whether a reverse split must be done "promptly" or whether the Company will have until July 27, 2004 (two years from the Company`s original notification) to effectuate a reverse split in the event that the Company`s stock does not regain compliance with the minimum bid price prior to July 27, 2004. Under NASDAQ rules, the Company`s stock will remain listed on the NASDAQ SmallCap Market prior to the hearing panel`s determination in the matter.

Commenting on the Company`s listing status: Scott R. Silverman, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Applied Digital Solutions, stated: "Clearly, the Company wants to maintain its NASDAQ listing. Under the proposed rule change, it is unclear whether the Company must do a reverse split promptly or whether it will be afforded a period of time until July 27, 2004 to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. Since the recent amendment to the proposed rule change occurred after our shareholders granted the Board of Directors one-year discretionary authority to effectuate a reverse split, it is unclear how the proposed rules apply to us. Therefore, we need guidance from NASDAQ."

Silverman continued: "Although we believe that the Company`s share structure could be better aligned with its current business operations, the timing of the event that creates this balance is crucial. We have undergone a metamorphosis since the pay-off of our former senior lender, IBM Credit, on June 30 and we continue to build a foundation for the future. Creating a better capital structure when business conditions dictate is part of this foundation. Accordingly, we will do what is necessary to maintain our listing while we focus on building long-term value for our shareholders."

510k Application Submitted to Food and Drug Administration SeekingPermission to Market Subdermal RFID VeriChip`s Healthcare Applications in theUnited States

PALM BEACH, Fla., Oct 29, 2003 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Applied Digital Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq: ADSX) an advanced technology development company, announced today that a 510(k) application has been submitted to the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) seeking the agency`s permission to market VeriChip`s healthcare information applications in the United States.

About the size of a grain of rice, VeriChip(TM) is the world`s first subdermal, radio frequency identification (RFID) microchip designed for human use in a variety of security, financial, emergency identification and, subject to FDA clearance, healthcare applications. Each VeriChip contains a unique verification number that is captured by briefly passing a proprietary scanner over the VeriChip. Once inserted just under the skin in a brief outpatient "chipping" procedure, the VeriChip is inconspicuous to the naked eye.

The detailed 510(k) submission was necessitated by the FDA`s ruling last October that VeriChip is a regulated medical device "when marketed to provide information to assist in the diagnosis or treatment of injury or illness." In that same ruling, the FDA determined that VeriChip was not a regulated device for its "security, financial, and personal identification/safety applications."

In submitting the 510(k) application, frequently referred to as a "premarket notification submission," the Company is following the process outlined by an FDA representative at a public seminar about human implantable microchips at the National Academies in Washington, D.C., on November 15, 2002. During this seminar, the FDA official described a submission process for obtaining premarket clearance for safe and effective implantable microchips for human use.

Commenting on the 510(k) application and the regulatory review process ahead, Michael Krawitz, General Counsel of Applied Digital Solutions, said: "The specific approach outlined by the FDA involves submitting a 510(k) premarket application and, if necessary, a so-called draft Special Guidance to support `de novo` review. Now that the 510(k) application has been submitted, the FDA will formally determine whether or not a predicate device has already been cleared by the FDA. If the FDA concludes that no such predicate device exists, the VeriChip application will be reviewed through the `de novo` process to make a final determination regarding the clearance and categorization of VeriChip, as well as any specific regulatory requirements that may be necessary. While the timetable for all of this is not defined, we understand that the entire process could take several months or more to run its course."

Assuming clearance is obtained from the FDA, the Company plans to market VeriChip`s family of innovative and potentially life-saving healthcare information applications in the United States using the VeriMed(TM) product name. VeriMed`s many potential healthcare-related uses include the following:


-- Implanted medical device identification

-- Emergency access to patient-supplied health information

-- Portable medical records access

-- In-hospital patient identification

-- Medical facility connectivity via patient

-- Patient/therapy integration

-- Inter-facility patient identification

-- Disease/treatment management of at-risk populations (e.g.
vaccination history)

About VeriChip(TM)

VeriChip is a subdermal, radio frequency identification (RFID) device that can be used in a variety of security, financial, emergency identification and other applications. About the size of a grain of rice, each VeriChip product contains a unique verification number that is captured by briefly passing a proprietary scanner over the VeriChip. The standard location of the microchip is in the triceps area between the elbow and the shoulder of the right arm. The brief outpatient "chipping" procedure lasts just a few minutes and involves only local anesthetic followed by quick, painless insertion of the VeriChip. Once inserted just under the skin, the VeriChip is inconspicuous to the naked eye. A small amount of radio frequency energy passes from the scanner energizing the dormant VeriChip, which then emits a radio frequency signal transmitting the verification number. In October 2002, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) ruled that VeriChip is not a regulated device with regard to its security, financial, personal identification/safety applications but that VeriChip`s healthcare information applications are regulated by the FDA.

SOUTH ST. PAUL, Minn., Nov. 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Digital Angel Corporation (Amex: DOC - News), majority owned by Applied Digital Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq: ADSX - News), today announced that it has agreed to appoint Mr. Van Chu, currently CEO of OuterLink Corporation, as its new Chief Executive Officer. As a natural evolution of its traditional animal applications and military GPS business lines, the Company will focus on location technology and condition monitoring for a broad array of high-value assets, including people, pets, livestock, fish/wildlife, commercial/private vehicles, military vehicles, commercial/private aircraft, commercial/private watercraft, military watercraft and stationary assets in remote locations.
To fuel this strategic direction, the Company signed an agreement on November 2, 2003 to acquire OuterLink Corporation of Concord, MA. OuterLink manufactures and markets a suite of satellite tracking systems, operates a mobile satellite data communications service, and supplies tracking software systems for mapping and messaging. The OuterLink "CP-2 system" provides real- time automated tracking, wireless data transfer, and two-way messaging with large fleets of vehicles -- including utility trucks, helicopters and fixed- wing aircraft, long haul trucks, service vehicles, short haul trucks, and ships. OuterLink`s current customer base includes various branches of the Department of Homeland Security (for example, U.S. Border Patrol and U.S. Customs Service).

The transaction consideration is the issuance of a zero coupon preferred stock instrument that is convertible into four million shares of the Company`s common shares when the Company`s common shares close at or above $4.00 per share for ten consecutive trading days.

Upon closing of the acquisition, OuterLink`s CEO, Mr. Van Chu, will become CEO of Digital Angel Corporation and will also join the Company`s Board of Directors. Mr. Chu has over 25 years of experience in the information technology industry. He was chairman and CEO of Octocom Systems, a manufacturer of data communications equipment sold in 160 countries and used by major service providers such as Swedish PTT, Italian PTT and Nippon Telecom (Japan). Under Mr. Chu`s leadership, Octocom grew to over $40 million in annual sales, was named "Small Business of the Year" in 1989 by the Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce and subsequently became part of Cisco Systems. After earning a Bachelor of Science degree with honors in Physics and Electronics from the University of Melbourne in Australia, he received master`s degrees in Engineering and Business from Boston University.

PALM BEACH, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 10, 2003--Applied Digital Solutions Inc. (Nasdaq: ADSX - News):
Distributor for Switzerland and Russia submits initial purchase
order for 400 VeriChips and 34 handheld scanners and agrees to buy
total of 1,000 VeriChips and 100 scanners in 2003
Five-year minimum purchase of 51,000 VeriChips and 2,600
scanners required to maintain exclusivity

Applied Digital Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq: ADSX - News), an advanced technology development company, today announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, VeriChip Corporation, has received a purchase order for 400 VeriChips and 34 handheld scanners from its exclusive distributor for Russia and Switzerland. These VeriChip sales represent the first to countries in the European region.

About the size of a grain of rice, VeriChip(TM) is the world`s first subdermal, radio frequency identification (RFID) microchip that can be used in a variety of security, financial, emergency identification and other applications.

The Swiss Russian distributor, RussGPS, has offices in Moscow and Zurich and operates throughout the GUS (former Soviet Union) region. Under the terms of the distribution agreement, the distributor has agreed to purchase a total of 1,000 VeriChips and 100 proprietary scanners in 2003. Over the five years covered by the agreement, the minimum purchase requirement is 51,000 VeriChips and 2,600 proprietary scanners in order to maintain exclusive distribution rights in the stipulated countries.

The distributor`s initial plans call for using VeriChip for its security-related and emergency identification applications. The Company expects that this distributor will also make use of the newly developed VeriGuard(TM) secure access control ("VeriGuard-S.A.C.") system.

About RussGPS

A Swiss Russian Company, RussGPS was founded by Russian businessmen together with SwissWeb GmbH, one of the largest ISPs (Internet Service Provider) in Switzerland. The Company offers GPS-based monitoring systems for mobile objects and a variety of Internet solutions, including Web-hosting and Internet consulting services. Bringing together highly qualified specialists with many years` work experience in Russia and numerous foreign markets, RussGPS successfully cooperates with legislative and executive authorities of all levels both in the center of the Russian Federation and in its regions.

About VeriChip(TM)

VeriChip is a subdermal, radio frequency identification (RFID) device that can be used in a variety of security, financial, emergency identification and other applications. About the size of a grain of rice, each VeriChip product contains a unique verification number that is captured by briefly passing a proprietary scanner over the VeriChip. A small amount of radio frequency energy passes from the scanner energizing the dormant VeriChip, which then emits a radio frequency signal transmitting the verification number. In October 2002, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) ruled that VeriChip is not a regulated device with regard to its security, financial, personal identification/safety applications but that VeriChip`s healthcare information applications are regulated by the FDA. VeriChip Corporation is a wholly owned subsidiary of Applied Digital Solutions (Nasdaq: ADSX - News). For more information about VeriChip, visit www.adsx.com.

More About VeriGuard(TM)-S.A.C.

The VeriGuard-S.A.C. reader consists of a high-powered RFID antenna encased in a durable plastic panel that can be mounted near a doorway or building entrance. The VeriGuard-S.A.C. scanner "reads" a passing subdermal VeriChip by emitting a low-frequency radio signal and receiving a return radio signal sent by the VeriChip`s transponder. The hardware and software components of the VeriGuard-S.A.C. system work together to authenticate personnel who are authorized to enter a given building or facility and unlock a secure doorway if the person has authorized access. The VeriGuard-S.A.C. panel can also be placed in strategic locations within a building or facility to "track" the location and movements of authorized personnel inside a secure area. VeriGuard-S.A.C. could function as a stand-alone, tamper-proof personal verification secure access technology or it could operate in conjunction with other security technologies such as standard ID badges, smart cards and advanced biometric devices (e.g. retina scanners, thumbprint readers or face recognition devices). The Company envisions incorporating variations of the VeriGuard solution into "Trusted Traveler" and residential security programs.

Applied Digital Solutions Enters Agreement to Satisfy $10.5 Million Convertible Debentures Originally Issued on June 30, 2003
Wednesday November 12, 9:15 am ET
Conversion to Equity Reduces Debt, Interest Expense and Improves Balance Sheet


PALM BEACH, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 12, 2003-- Applied Digital Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq: ADSX - News), an advanced technology development company, announced today that it has entered into an agreement with the holders of the Company`s $10.5 million convertible debentures that were issued on June 30, 2003.
ADVERTISEMENT


Under the terms of the agreement, over 90 percent of the outstanding debentures will immediately be converted into approximately 26 million shares of the Company`s common stock (significantly fewer than 52.8 million shares that were registered for the conversion of, and payments associated with, the original debentures). The agreement also requires the holders of the debentures to convert the remaining debentures on or before November 26, 2003, provided that the average of the volume weighted average trading price of the Company`s common stock equals or exceeds $.42 cents per share for a designated period.

"This conversion simplifies our capital structure and improves our balance sheet," said Scott R. Silverman, Chairman and CEO of Applied Digital Solutions. "We expect the remainder to convert on or before November 26. This allows the Company to continue to strengthen its balance sheet by converting approximately $10.5 million of debt into equity and improves cash flow by approximately $5 million per year for the next two years. This will significantly enhance cash flow and earnings.

"By reaching this agreement, we also preserve our existing ownership position in Digital Angel Corporation (AMEX: DOC - News). The original debenture transaction included conversion provisions for Digital Angel shares as well as Applied Digital shares. This new agreement, in essence, negates any material dilution of our Digital Angel ownership. Due to the recent positive changes at that company, with the announced acquisition of OuterLink and the appointment of Van Chu as CEO, we are very pleased to maintain this position."

PALM BEACH, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 14, 2003--

Over 5,000 VeriChips and 240 Proprietary Scanners
Ordered in 3rd Quarter

Applied Digital Solutions, Inc.(NASDAQ-SMALL:ADSX) (Nasdaq:ADSX), an advanced technology development company, today reported its consolidated results for the third-quarter ended September 30, 2003. The Company`s consolidated financial results include the balance sheets, operating results and cash flows of its majority owned subsidiaries, Digital Angel Corporation (AMEXOC), and InfoTech USA, Inc.(NASDAQ-OTCBB:IFTH) , formerly SysComm International Corporation(NASDAQ-OTCBB:IFTH) (OTC:IFTH).

The consolidated net loss (i.e. including Digital Angel Corporation and InfoTech USA, Inc.(NASDAQ-OTCBB:IFTH) ) for the three-month period ended September 30, 2003, was $1.2 million, or $0.00 per share, a sharp reduction from the net loss of $5.9 million, or $0.02 per share, for the year-ago quarter. Revenue for the third quarter was $23.8 million, compared with $24.2 million for the year-ago quarter. On a sequential basis, revenue increased 14 percent, or $2.9 million, and net worth rose $5.3 million since the second quarter of 2003.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2003, the Company reported revenue of $69.8 million and net income of $28.3 million, or $0.09 per share. This includes a one-time gain of $70 million for forgiveness of indebtedness due to the satisfaction of the Company`s debt obligation to IBM Credit, LLC. In comparison, the Company reported revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, of $78.4 million, and a net loss of $49.8 million, or $0.19 per share.

Commenting on the third-quarter results, Scott R. Silverman, Chairman and CEO, said: "We believe these results represent an important milestone for the Company. Exclusive of Digital Angel Corporation`s operating results, the Company achieved net income of over $750,000. The work of restructuring our balance sheet has played an important role in this turn-around. We are gratified by the growing demand we`ve experienced for VeriChip internationally, with more than 5,000 VeriChips ordered in the third quarter alone. We`ve also seen significant progress in securing Federal contracts at our Government Telecommunications (GTI) unit."

Mr. Silverman continued: "In order to improve Digital Angel Corporation`s performance, changes have been made. With the recent agreement to acquire Outerlink Corporation and the appointment of Van Chu as CEO, Digital Angel Corporation will now focus on marketing its location technology and condition monitoring for high-value assets. Given Outerlink`s proprietary technology and top-tier U.S. Government and commercial customers, we are confident that Outerlink and Mr. Chu will bring value to Digital Angel Corporation and, in turn, Applied Digital Solutions."

About VeriChip(TM)

VeriChip is a subdermal, radio frequency identification (RFID) device that can be used in a variety of security, financial, emergency identification and other applications. About the size of a grain of rice, each VeriChip product contains a unique verification number that is captured by briefly passing a proprietary scanner over the VeriChip. A small amount of radio frequency energy passes from the scanner energizing the dormant VeriChip, which then emits a radio frequency signal transmitting the verification number. In October 2002, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) ruled that VeriChip is not a regulated device with regard to its security, financial, personal identification/safety applications but that VeriChip`s healthcare information applications are regulated by the FDA. VeriChip Corporation is a wholly owned subsidiary of Applied Digital Solutions (Nasdaq:ADSX). For more information about VeriChip, visit www.adsx.com.

Thursday November 20, 9:17 am ET
Congress delegates will also receive copies of Mr. Silverman`s bylined article about VeriChip`s healthcare-related applications scheduled to appear in upcoming issue of Global ID Magazine


PALM BEACH, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 20, 2003-- Applied Digital Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq: ADSX - News) an advanced technology development company, announced today that the Company`s Chief Executive Officer, Scott R. Silverman, was recently invited to speak about subdermal RFID (radio frequency identification) solutions for people and animals at the ID World Congress, to be held in Paris, France, November 20-21, 2003. Mr. Silverman has been included on the agenda for Thursday November 20th and Friday November 21st.
ADVERTISEMENT


This year`s Congress, which brings together international leaders from the RFID, biometrics, cards and data collection industries, focuses on "The ID Revolution in the Real and Digital Worlds."

Mr. Silverman`s presentation on Friday is entitled: "More Than Skin Deep: The Potential for Subdermal RFID Microchips in People and Animals." In his speech, Mr. Silverman will provide an overview of VeriChip and then discuss subdermal RFID solutions in three main categories: healthcare information, facility access security, and food safety. Mr. Silverman`s presentation includes detailed information about VeriMed(TM), VeriGuard(TM) and food safety-related animal identification applications, including the temperature-sensing Bio-Thermo microchip, from majority-owned Digital Angel Corporation (AMEX: DOC - News).

In addition to hearing Mr. Silverman`s presentation, Congress delegates will receive a copy of his bylined article - entitled "The Missing Link" - which is scheduled to appear in the upcoming issue of Global ID Magazine.

About ID World 2003

ID World is organized by Wise Media, S.p.A., based in Milan, Italy. This year special attention will be given to the future of security systems. The modern security infrastructure relies on specialized systems, software applications and technical standards built on different foundations for the physical world (i.e. access control to buildings) and the virtual world (i.e. IT security). With industrial spies, terrorists, hackers and vandals increasing their ability to operate in both environments, the traditional compartmental approach to security is evolving towards an increasingly holistic view. Key industry players that traditionally focused either on physical or digital security explain how the boundaries of these worlds are blurring and how global security infrastructures are converging to address both environments with integrated solutions.

Over 30 speakers will take the stage at ID WORLD 2003, a majority of which are senior corporate executives and key industry players. Confirmed speakers include: David Slinger, General Manager of Texas Instruments RFID; Mauro Benetton, Marketing Manager of the Benetton Group and President of Lab ID; Dr Joseph Atick, President and CEO of Identix, Joseph Grillo, President and CEO of Assa Abloy ITG; General John Watkins, former director of the Pentagon`s Defense Information Systems Agency; and Francois Darcy, Directeur Projet Titre Fondateur - Ministere de l`Interieur, Republique Francaise.

More About VeriGuard(TM)-S.A.C.

The VeriGuard-S.A.C. reader consists of a high-powered RFID antenna encased in a durable plastic panel that can be mounted near a doorway or building entrance. The VeriGuard-S.A.C. scanner "reads" a passing subdermal VeriChip by emitting a low-frequency radio signal and receiving a return radio signal sent by the VeriChip`s transponder. The hardware and software components of the VeriGuard-S.A.C. system work together to authenticate personnel who are authorized to enter a given building or facility and unlock a secure doorway if the person has authorized access. The VeriGuard-S.A.C. panel can also be placed in strategic locations within a building or facility to "track" the location and movements of authorized personnel inside a secure area. VeriGuard-S.A.C. could function as a stand-alone, tamper-proof personal verification secure access technology or it could operate in conjunction with other security technologies such as standard ID badges, smart cards and advanced biometric devices (e.g. retina scanners, thumbprint readers or face recognition devices). The Company envisions incorporating variations of the VeriGuard solution into "Trusted Traveler" and residential security programs.

About VeriChip(TM)

VeriChip is a subdermal, radio frequency identification (RFID) device that can be used in a variety of security, financial, emergency identification and other applications. About the size of a grain of rice, each VeriChip product contains a unique verification number that is captured by briefly passing a proprietary scanner over the VeriChip. The standard location of the microchip is in the triceps area between the elbow and the shoulder of the right arm. The brief outpatient "chipping" procedure lasts just a few minutes and involves only local anesthetic followed by quick, painless insertion of the VeriChip. Once inserted just under the skin, the VeriChip is inconspicuous to the naked eye. A small amount of radio frequency energy passes from the scanner energizing the dormant VeriChip, which then emits a radio frequency signal transmitting the verification number. In October 2002, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) ruled that VeriChip is not a regulated device with regard to its security, financial, personal identification/safety applications but that VeriChip`s healthcare information applications are regulated by the FDA.

Applied Digital Solutions` CEO Announces ``VeriPay`` Secure, Subdermal Solution for Payment and Credit Transactions at ID World 2003 in Paris
Friday November 21, 9:30 am ET


PALM BEACH, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 21, 2003--Applied Digital Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq: ADSX - News) an advanced technology development company, announced that the Company`s Chief Executive Officer, Scott R. Silverman, in his speech today at the ID World 2003 in Paris, France, revealed the Company`s newest subdermal RFID solution called VeriPay(TM). VeriPay is intended to be a secure, subdermal RFID (radio frequency identification) payment technology for cash and credit transactions.
ADVERTISEMENT


About the size of a grain of rice, VeriChip(TM) is the world`s first subdermal, radio frequency identification (RFID) microchip that can be used in a variety of security, financial, emergency identification and other applications.

The VeriPay announcement came just a few days after a USA Today article (November 17, 2003) about emerging technologies highlighted one of the major limitations of using RFID technology for payment and credit transactions. After discussing various potential formats for RFID payment systems, including cards, earrings or pens, the USA Today article stated: "Still, experts note that one big hurdle remains for RFID systems: security. Lose your RFID-enabled card or earring, and someone else could easily use it to run up charges - especially if no signature is required."

In that same article, an executive with a major credit card company said this about his company`s RFID payment technology: "Ultimately, it could be embedded in anything - someday, maybe even under the skin."

At ID World 2003 in Paris, Mr. Silverman made the point that the subdermal RFID VeriPay technology specifically addresses the security issue. VeriPay`s unique, under-the-skin format offers a much more secure, tamper-proof, and loss-proof solution. VeriPay brings to consumers the benefits of fast and reliable RFID technology along with the security of a subdermal format.

In announcing VeriPay to ID World delegates, Mr. Silverman expressed his belief that VeriPay has enormous marketplace potential and invited banking and credit companies to partner with VeriChip Corporation in developing specific commercial applications, beginning with appropriate pilot programs and other market tests, for the VeriPay subdermal RFID solution.

ADSX will mit neuem Chip doch noch unter die Haut

Applied Digital Solutions Inc. (NASDAQ: ADSX; WKN: 904589): Applied Digital Solutions (ADSX) will mit einem neuen Chip für das bargeldlose Bezahlen unter die Haut der Verbraucher kriechen. Ein RFID-Chip von der Größe eines Reiskorns soll in Zukunft die Kreditkarte ersetzen.

Der neue, implantierbare VeriChip wurde bereits am 21. November im Rahmen der Messe ID World 2003 in Paris angekündigt. Der VeriChip soll auch in weiteren Bereichen zur Anwendung kommen, wie in den Bereichen Sicherheit und Notdiensten. Der Vorteil des VeriChips liegte darin, so das Unternehmen, dass er, im Gegensatz zu anderen RFID-Lösungen, nicht verloren gehen kann. Damit würden Verbraucher vor Diebstahl und Missbrauch geschützt werden. Ob Verbraucher sich allerdings für den Gedanken begeistern können, einen Chip unter der Haut implantiert zu bekommen, ist eher fraglich.


ADSX sorgte vor drei Jahren bereits für Aufsehen, als das Unternehmen sich Patente für einen implantierbaren Ortungschip geben lies. Die Patente sorgten für einiges Aufsehen und wilde Verschwörungstheorien. In den USA wurde der Ortungschip von christlichen Fundamentalisten als Beweis für die nahende Apokalypse angeführt. Die Marktkapitalisierung von gerademal 140,9 Mio. US-Dollar spricht jedoch nicht gerade für die vermuteten Absichten, die ADSX angedichtet werden. (jwd)

Mad Cow Scare May Spur High-Tech Tracking
Wednesday December 31, 1:17 am ET
By Brian Bergstein, AP Technology Writer
United States Mad Cow Scare Could Spur Move to High-Tech Livestock Tracking


If there`s a bright side to the U.S. mad cow scare, it`s that it could speed the nation`s move to a centralized system that electronically tracks animals as they move from fields to feed lots to food stores.
ADVERTISEMENT


Efforts to create a centralized database, which exist in some countries, have been slowed so far by disputes over who would maintain the database and who would bear its cost.

Such a database could let agricultural officials determine within hours where a sick animal came from and where it went -- a crucial step in a disease outbreak or a terrorist assault on the food supply.

Agriculture Secretary Ann Veneman said Tuesday that the government would speed development of the system, but offered no details.

For now, inspectors often must rely on paper records or a hodgepodge of data maintained by meat producers and breeders. After the recent mad cow discovery in Washington state, officials needed several days to determine where its meat had been sold, and encountered discrepancies in U.S. and Canadian records.

"It`s very difficult and probably not possible for them to go to a particular animal and say that animal came from that particular farm," said Leon Thacker, a veterinary pathologist at Purdue University.

Technology stands ready to automate the process.

Radio-frequency identification (RFID) tags on cattle ears can maintain reams of data about an animal`s existence, including its breeding, age, weight and medical history. The tags can be automatically read, sending their data directly to a computer database, by sensors placed at feed lots, slaughterhouses and other points along the chain of livestock ownership.

One company, Optibrand Ltd., further tightens the process with retinal scans of cattle to confirm their identity. Optibrand`s scans are performed with readers that have global-positioning chips to record the animal`s location.

Optibrand, based in Fort Collins, Colo., announced a five-year deal Tuesday to supply its technology to Swift & Co., a leading meat producer. Swift spokesman Jim Herlihy said the company will use the retinal scans in its feedlots and encourage its suppliers to embrace them as well, to make the entire life of livestock more easily traced.

Another approach is offered by Digital Angel Corp., which makes implantable chips that are used to identify lost dogs and cats and also in some cattle herds. Digital Angel, based in South St. Paul, Minn., touts the fact that the chips are unlikely to be lost or damaged.

RFID tags also are considered sturdier and less susceptible to fraud than the plastic, numeric ear tags commonly used now to identify livestock. And because the radio tags or other electronic means can produce detailed information about particular animals, they can help producers of organic or other high-quality beef prove that their meat is worth a higher price.

"The more information you know about the cattle, the more you can get them into the fine retail outlets," said Ken Conway, who directs GeneNet, an alliance of beef producers who use RFID and other high-tech measures to justify higher prices for their high-grade meat.

But while RFID is widely used in countries such as Australia, the technology has been slow to catch on in the United States.

In fact, David Warren, head of Sebastian, Fla.-based eMerge Interactive Inc., which offers RFID-based services to the livestock industry, estimates that the technology is being used on fewer than 2 percent of the nation`s livestock.

One huge reason is that the industry, which operates on a low profit margin, is reluctant to embrace costly new technology.

Two Kansas State University professors recently estimated that RFID tags and related equipment could cost owners of small herds close to $25 per head of cattle; in larger herds it would cost less than $4.

But the cost will likely drop further with wider RFID use. In Canada, where the beef industry maintains a centralized cattle database, RFID tags are due to replace by Jan. 1, 2005, the current, time-consuming record-keeping method -- bar codes that must be read by handheld scanners.

Julie Stitt, administrator of the Canadian Cattle Identification Agency, estimates that the per-head cost could fall below $2 -- "not a whole lot more than bar codes."

Even before the U.S. mad cow scare, government and industry representatives were developing the Animal Identification Plan, a nationwide tracking system that was expected to be implemented over the next three years.

It has not been determined whether RFID or any other technology will be mandatory.

Resistance to the plan has come from meat producers who don`t trust the idea of establishing a central database that would allow the government or rivals to know detailed information about their operations.

In other countries affected by mad cow, such concerns were trumped by fears that consumers would lose confidence in beef, and stringent national ID systems imposed.

In Britain, which was hit by mad cow and foot-and-mouth disease in the 1980s and `90s, every cow gets an individual identity number and its own checkbook-style "passport" that is checked by the British Cattle Movement Service, a central authority.

British authorities say they believe an electronic ID will probably become compulsory in the next few years.

In Japan, which rushed a livestock screening and database system into place after the country`s first mad cow case in 2001, authorities plan to give consumers "farm-to-fork" traceability of beef by the end of 2004. Cows` 10-digit identification numbers, tagged to their ears, will appear on labels of beef in stores, letting consumers look up data on the animals on the Internet.

Associated Press Writers Jack Garland in London and Gary Schaefer in Tokyo contributed to this report.

Amerikanische Schnüffel-Chip-Expertin geht bei Metro shoppen

Deutschlands Supermärkte wurden als Testgebiet für die umstrittenen Funk-Etiketten RFID auserkoren, beklagt die US-Verbraucherschützerin Katherine Albrecht. Am kommenden Samstag testet sie gemeinsam mit deutschen Datenschützern die RFID-Chips im "Metro Future Store" Rheinberg.



RFID-Label: Deutschland offenbar als Testgebiet auserkoren
Der Bielefelder "Verein zur Förderung des öffentlichen bewegten und unbewegten Datenverkehrs" - kurz FoeBuD - hat dunkle Vorahnungen, was die funkenden Etiketten betrifft, die nach und nach in allen Supermärkten und Kaufhäusern eingeführt werden sollen. Die auch Smart Tags genannten RFID-Chips könnten zu einer totalen Überwachung der Menschen führen, wenn sie versteckten Lesegeräten ihre Daten verraten, fürchten die FoeBuD-Aktivisten.
Falls die Pläne der Industrie umgesetzt werden, dann bekommt jeder weltweit produzierte Artikel künftig eine ganz individuelle Nummer, die das aufgeklebte Etikett in der Nähe von Empfängern bereitwillig funkt. Nicht nur Diebstähle sollen so verhindert werden, der Handel will mit den Chips seine Lagerhaltung und das Einkaufen revolutionieren. Der Kassierer kann nach Hause gehen - eine automatische Kasse erfasst die Waren per Funk.

Am Samstag erwarten die FoeBuD-Aktivisten prominente Unterstützung aus den USA. Katherine Albrecht, Vorsitzende der Verbraucherschutzorganisation Caspian und gleichzeitig RFID-Expertin, kommt nach Deutschland, um über Datenschutz und die umstrittenen Chips in Amerika zu informieren. Und nicht zuletzt, um das "Metro Future Store" in Rheinberg zu besuchen, das die Smart Tags als erster Supermarkt in Deutschland einsetzt.

Albrecht muss am Samstagnachmittag nicht etwa mit den Kassierern über den Schutz der Privatsphäre parlieren - sie wird vom zuständigen Metro-Projektmanager Gerd Wolfram nebst Pressesprecher empfangen.



DDP / Fiola Bock / Beegroup Wuerzburg
Biene mit RFID-Chip: Nicht nur Menschen lassen sich mit Smart Tags ausspionieren
Für Albrecht ist Deutschland in Bezug auf Smart Tags besonders interessant, weil ihrer Meinung nach hier die Entwicklung weiter fortgeschritten ist als in den USA. Sie glaubt, dass Deutschland womöglich als Testgebiet für RFID-Einführung in Geschäften auserkoren wurde.
Datenschützer fürchten, dass die Kunden anhand der Funkchips bei ihrem Einkaufsverhalten künftig komplett überwacht werden. Die Metro AG erklärte wiederholt, sie wolle die erhobenen Daten nicht Personen zuordnen. Die Funketiketten sollen nach dem Willen der Konzerne den Barcode ablösen.

Albrecht hat auch ein kritisches Positionspapier zu RFID-Technik entworfen, das inzwischen ebenfalls von den Bielefelder Aktivisten von FoeBuD unterzeichnet wurde. In dem Papier wird unter anderem ein Moratorium gefordert, bevor weitere RFID-Technik eingeführt wird.

Über die Schnüffelchips spricht Katherine Albrecht auch in einem Vortrag am Sonntag um 15 Uhr im Bielefelder Bunker Ulmenwall.

Digital Angel Names John R. Block to Board of Directors
Tuesday January 27, 7:35 am ET
Former Secretary of the U.S. Department of Agriculture to Chair New Government Relations Committee at Digital Angel


SO. ST. PAUL, Minn., Jan. 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Digital Angel Corporation (Amex: DOC - News), an advanced technology company in the field of rapid and accurate identification, location tracking, and condition monitoring of high-value assets, today announced that it has named John R. Block, 68, former Secretary of the U.S. Department of Agriculture during the Reagan Administration, to its Board of Directors. The appointment increases the total number of independent, outside Directors to three and expands the Board to seven members. Block will also act as Chairman of the newly-formed Government Relations Committee at Digital Angel.
ADVERTISEMENT


Block currently serves as the Executive Vice President of the Food Marketing Institute, a trade association in Washington, DC, and for the past year has been President of its Wholesaler Division. Prior to that, Block was President and Chief Executive Officer of Food Distributors International and the International Foodservice Distributors Association (NAWGA/IFDA), where he served from 1986 to 2002. Block was appointed to President Reagan`s Cabinet in 1981 and served for five years as the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. From 1977 to 1981 he served as Director of Agriculture for the State of Illinois.

Commenting on the appointment, Scott R. Silverman, Vice Chairman of Digital Angel Corporation, said, "We are delighted and honored to have John join our Board of Directors. As head of Digital Angel`s new Government Relations Committee, John`s vast experience and worldwide network of acquaintance should prove to be vital assets to the Company at this time of heightened concern about the security of our nation`s food supply."

Block was born near his family-owned farm in Galesburg, IL. After graduating from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, he served for three years as an airborne infantry officer, subsequently returning to Illinois to form a farming partnership with his father. Block retains his investment in the farm, now managed by his son, which produces 3,000 acres of corn and soybeans and 15,000 hogs per year.

As a member of the Reagan Cabinet and a key member of the Economic Policy council, Block dealt with a wide range of complex domestic farm program and tax issues. Under his leadership, the Department of Agriculture`s Food for Peace Program was a primary resource in feeding the starving African continent. During his tenure as Secretary of Agriculture, Block visited more than 30 foreign countries, meeting with heads of state and agriculture ministers from all over the globe, negotiating sensitive agreements critical to U.S. farm interests.

McCollum Introduces Legislation Establishing Livestock Tracking Technology To Ensure Food Safety
Thursday February 26, 11:52 am ET
South St. Paul`s Digital Angel Among Technology Providers to be Considered


WASHINGTON, Feb. 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Congresswoman Betty McCollum (MN-04) this week introduced legislation to enable the U.S. Department of Agriculture to trace livestock from birth to slaughter. McCollum`s National Livestock Identification Act (H.R. 3822) calls for the Secretary of Agriculture to immediately establish an electronic nationwide livestock identification system.
ADVERTISEMENT


"The safety of our food supply is critical to our families," said McCollum. "This technology will allow the Department of Agriculture to track an incidence of `mad cow` or other diseases in livestock like chronic wasting disease discovered in the United States within 48 hours. We are fortunate to have a pioneer in this important technology right in my home town of South Saint Paul, Minnesota."

McCollum`s legislation allows the Secretary of Agriculture to consider existing technologies. The measure also provides assistance to farmers and producers in their efforts to comply with such a tracking system.

Kevin McGrath, President and CEO of St. Paul-based Digital Angel Corporation (Amex: DOC - News), the pioneer and world leader in implantable Radio Frequency Identification, praised Rep. Betty McCollum for her leadership on this issue.

"We thank Congresswoman McCollum for being a leader on this issue," said McGrath. "She has consistently been at the forefront looking for ways to use existing technology to prevent future crises involving Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) and other diseases which threaten U.S. livestock."

Applied Digital Solutions Reports 2003 Fourth Quarter and Year End Financial Results
Monday March 15, 9:01 am ET
Current year audit opinion does not contain a "going concern" explanation


PALM BEACH, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 15, 2004-- Applied Digital Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq: ADSX - News), an advanced technology development company, today released financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2003. The Company`s consolidated financial results include the balance sheets, operating results and cash flows of its majority owned subsidiaries, Digital Angel Corporation (AMEX: DOC - News) and InfoTech USA, Inc., formerly SysComm International Corporation (OTC: IFTH - News).
ADVERTISEMENT


Fourth quarter revenue from continuing operations was $25.5 million, representing a 17% increase compared with the $21.8 million for the year-earlier period. For the three-months ended December 31, 2003, the Company reported a loss from continuing operations of $25.2 million, or $(0.06) per share, a sharp reduction from a loss from continuing operations of $64.0 million, or $(0.23) per share for the three-months ended December 31, 2002. The loss from continuing operations in the fourth quarter of 2003 included $8.7 million of non-cash charges in connection with the conversion of the IBM-related debentures.

Revenue from continuing operations in 2003 was $95.3 million, a 5% decrease from the $100.2 million recorded in 2002. For 2003, the Company reported income from continuing operations of $3.5 million, or $0.01 per share, compared to a loss from continuing operations of $113.9 million, or $(0.42) per share, for 2002.

"We ended 2003 a dramatically different Company than when we began the year," said Scott R. Silverman, Applied Digital Solutions` Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "When we began the year, the Company`s very survival was in jeopardy. Today, we have begun to demonstrate that our model of pairing technology with a complementary operating company that has long-standing revenue works. We have executed on most of our key objectives this year. We have paid off IBM, grown revenue of VeriChip and improved the operating results of our wholly owned subsidiaries significantly. While we did not see that improvement at Digital Angel, we believe we have taken the necessary measures at Digital Angel, through the installation of a new management team, to position the Company to possibly capitalize on potential opportunities in livestock tracking."

Some of the highlights of 2003 included:

Improved Balance Sheet. The Company eliminated approximately $100 million in debt and increased stockholders` equity by over $68 million as a result of the Company`s repayment of IBM.
Current year audit opinion does not contain a "going concern" explanation. The improved financial status of the Company, and management`s future plans, have overcome the need for the Company`s auditors to include a going concern explanation in the auditors` opinion on our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2003. For the prior four years, the Company`s auditors` opinions contained "going concern" language.
Sales of VeriChip Corporation Continue to Grow. During the fourth quarter, revenues of VeriChip Corporation more than doubled versus the previous quarter, increasing from $123,000 to $275,000.
"While we are pleased by these accomplishments, we know there are many new challenges ahead of us," continued Mr. Silverman. "Our existence is no longer in jeopardy, and with our businesses now on much more solid-footing, we have the opportunity to create real value for our shareholders. This is why I am pleased to announce today that we will effectuate a 1 for 10 stock split with a record date of April 5, 2004. We do this not because we are required to do so today by the Nasdaq, as we have until July to meet its listing requirements, but because our businesses have matured to the extent that we can now attract quality institutional investors seeking a company that is capable of generating earnings in the future. Our improved capital structure, now that we no longer have to issue shares to satisfy preexisting obligations to previous management or creditors, will allow investors to evaluate the Company`s prospects without fear that we will have to issue equity under those adverse conditions. I am excited about the prospects for 2004, as we now have all of the pieces in place, including the right management team, capital structure and technology mix to pursue sustainable, long-term value for our shareholders."

The Company will hold a conference call and webcast today at 10 a.m. ET. Mr. Silverman, Evan McKeown, Chief Financial Officer, and Michael Krawitz, General Counsel, will host the call. Interested participants should call 800-472-8309 when calling within the United States or 706-643-9561 when calling internationally. Please reference Conference I.D. Number 6081841. There will be a playback available until midnight, March 22, 2004. To listen to the playback, please call 800-642-1687 when calling within the United States or 706-645-9291 when calling internationally. Please use pass code 6081841 for the replay.

PAUL, Minn., March 18 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Digital Angel Corporation (Amex: DOC - News), an advanced technology company in the field of rapid and accurate identification, location tracking, and condition monitoring of high-value assets, today announced that it has received a United States patent for a "multi-directional walk-through antenna", a scanning device for cattle and other livestock much like the metal detector at an airport, for reading RFID wearable tags and implantable chips.
ADVERTISEMENT


The antenna incorporates a new design that enables easier and more accurate scanning of animals, eliminating many of the technical challenges associated with scanning animals that can result from differing tag placements and random animal movement. The multi-directional walk-through antenna has been granted patent number 6,700,547.

Kevin Nieuwsma, President of the Company`s RFID Division, commented, "Digital Angel already develops and markets a full line of livestock identification products, ranging from visual ID tags sold since 1945, to RFID wearable tags and RFID implantable chips, along with scanners that read these devices. Digital Angel also designs and develops the software integration tools necessary to tie all these components together into a seamless system for recording the location and movement of identified animals. The antenna will be marketed as an integral part of an automatic system for monitoring cattle and other livestock while they are processed throughout their lifecycle, which should make the industry more efficient in its animal movement tracking capability."

Chief Executive Officer Kevin McGrath stated, "The receipt of this patent underscores Digital Angel`s continued R&D commitment to innovation and enhancement of existing products in the new and emerging markets we operate in. Since the discovery in the State of Washington of a cow with BSE (mad cow disease) in December of 2003, Digital Angel has been building on its existing technology base in anticipation of a nationally mandated cattle tracking program in the U.S., as well as in Canada, which has already committed to the implementation of an RFID cattle program in 2005. This and other patents should allow Digital Angel to maintain its technology leadership position in this important market segment."

VeriChip Corporation Signs Four New Distributors for Subdermal RFID VeriChip Products
Thursday March 25, 9:20 am ET
Company Awards Exclusive Rights to U.S. Markets
Quotas exceed 66,000 VeriChips and 4,900 handheld scanners


PALM BEACH, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 25, 2004-- Applied Digital Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq: ADSX - News), an advanced technology development company, today announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, VeriChip Corporation, has awarded the exclusive rights to distribute VeriChip in three states, including Florida, Georgia and Tennessee. The company has also awarded territories to distributors in Puerto Rico and Central America. The distributors have collectively agreed to quotas to purchase 66,763 VeriChips and 4,945 scanners over the terms of the agreements. Each of the distributor`s plans call for using VeriChip for security-related and emergency identification applications.
ADVERTISEMENT


About the size of a grain of rice, VeriChip(TM) is the world`s first subdermal, radio frequency identification (RFID) microchip that can be used in a variety of security, financial, emergency identification and other applications.

The company awarded Digital Applied Technologies Associates ("DATA") with the exclusive rights to the state of Florida. DATA has agreed to quotas to purchase a minimum of 12,400 VeriChips and 1,390 scanners during the five-year period. The Company also awarded the territory of Puerto Rico exclusively to Cybertek Puerto Rico, Inc. Cybertek is required to purchase 2,000 VeriChips and 60 scanners during the term of the agreement. Finally, Universal Microchip, Inc. has been awarded the exclusive rights to the Georgia and Tennessee markets, in return for agreeing to quotas to purchase a minimum of 4,650 VeriChips and 310 scanners.

VeriChip Corporation also awarded the exclusive rights for Central America to Sodiacol SA in return for a commitment to purchase a minimum of 47,713 VeriChips and 3,185 scanners. Sodiacol replaces prior companies which agreed to certain portions of Central America.

The distributors are required to meet the minimum purchase requirements for VeriChips and scanners in order to maintain exclusivity in their respective markets.

About VeriChip(TM)

VeriChip is a subdermal, radio frequency identification (RFID) device that can be used in a variety of security, financial, emergency identification and other applications. About the size of a grain of rice, each VeriChip product contains a unique verification number that is captured by briefly passing a proprietary scanner over the VeriChip. The standard location of the microchip is in the triceps area between the elbow and the shoulder of the right arm. The brief outpatient "chipping" procedure lasts just a few minutes and involves only local anesthetic followed by quick, painless insertion of the VeriChip. Once inserted just under the skin, the VeriChip is inconspicuous to the naked eye. A small amount of radio frequency energy passes from the scanner energizing the dormant VeriChip, which then emits a radio frequency signal transmitting the verification number. In October 2002, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) ruled that VeriChip is not a regulated device with regard to its security, financial, personal identification/safety applications but that VeriChip`s healthcare information applications are regulated by the FDA. VeriChip Corporation is a wholly owned subsidiary of Applied Digital Solutions.

Applied Digital Solutions` VeriChip Corporation Confirms that the Attorney General of Mexico and some of his staff have been `Chipped`
Wednesday July 14, 11:18 am ET
Rafael Macedo de la Concha and Staff Receive VeriChip for Security Application


DELRAY BEACH, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 14, 2004-- VeriChip(TM) Corporation, a subsidiary of Applied Digital Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADSX - News) announced today that the Attorney General of Mexico, Rafael Macedo de la Concha and some of his staff have received a VeriChip for security applications. Although this was previously confidential, the Attorney General announced this security application at the recent opening of Mexico`s National Information Center. The "chipping" of the officials was facilitated by Solusat, the Company`s exclusive Mexican distributor.
About the size of a grain of rice, VeriChip(TM) is the world`s first subdermal, radio frequency identification microchip that can be used in a variety of security, financial, emergency identification and other applications. Applied Digital Solutions has received numerous inquiries on the subject from shareholders, but had been unable to confirm the news previously due to confidentiality provisions in its agreement.

About VeriChip(TM)

VeriChip is a miniaturized, radio frequency identification (RFID) device that can be used in a variety of security, financial, emergency identification and other applications. About the size of a grain of rice, each VeriChip product contains a unique verification number and will be available in several formats, some of which will be insertable under the skin. The verification number is captured by briefly passing a proprietary scanner over the VeriChip. A small amount of radio frequency energy passes from the scanner energizing the dormant VeriChip, which then emits a radio frequency signal transmitting the verification number. In October 2002, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) ruled that VeriChip was not a regulated device with regard to its security, financial, personal identification/safety applications but that VeriChip`s healthcare information applications are regulated by the FDA. VeriChip Corporation is a wholly owned subsidiary of Applied Digital Solutions. For more information about VeriChip, visit www.adsx.com.

Applied Digital Solutions` CEO Issues Invitation to Shareholders
Friday July 16, 11:01 am ET


DELRAY BEACH, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 16, 2004--Applied Digital Solutions (NASDAQ: ADSX - News), an advanced technology company, issued the following Invitation to Shareholders today:
Dear Shareholders:

Applied Digital has changed dramatically in the past year. We have satisfied all of our (parent company) debt; we have strengthened our balance sheet by over $100 million; we have severely cut operating losses and we have fixed our capital structure.

These are very significant accomplishments, but the biggest accomplishment - LONG TERM SHAREHOLDER VALUE - is our greatest challenge - and our main focus at Applied Digital.

When I took over as the Company`s CEO in March of last year, I looked at the opportunity in a similar fashion to the way that a new football coach does when he takes over a team. Building a talented team, preparing the players properly, and winning are all important, but creating a successful, long term Champion is the ultimate goal. With almost 1-1/2 years and the above-referenced milestones behind us, my focus now turns squarely to developing and redefining the company to create long-term success, and as a result, sustained shareholder value.

A review of our current product lines and intellectual property yields two significant (yet greatly unrecognized) trends: 1) A significant portion of our revenue is from governmental entities (U.S. and International); and 2) Security for people, animals, food chains, telecomm infrastructure and government and commercial assets is the lion`s share of our business. This is where our future lies.

Please join me for a closer look at our Company, and the unveiling of our streamlined business model and new corporate image on Saturday, July 24, 2004 at 9:00 a.m. at the Delray Beach Marriott for our Annual Shareholder meeting. I look forward to seeing you there.

Sincerely,

Scott R. Silverman
Chairman and CEO

Digital Angel Corporation`s Signature Industries Unit SARBE(R) Announces at Farnborough 2004 Last Opportunity for Customers to Purchase Legacy Products
Wednesday July 21, 11:04 am ET


SO. ST. PAUL, Minn., July 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Digital Angel Corporation (Amex: DOC - News), an advanced technology company in the field of rapid and accurate identification, location tracking, and condition monitoring of high-value assets, announced today that its subsidiary, London-based Signature Industries will stop manufacturing certain older SARBE products during the year 2005. Signature announced that orders for models SARBE 5, 6, 7, and 8, will be accepted only until January 2005, with deliveries planned during 2005. Batteries, spares, service and support will still be available after that date.
SARBE is the world`s leading brand of Personal Locator Beacons, with equipment in use by the armed forces of over 40 countries. Improvements in technology enable the latest SARBE equipment to offer customers distinct benefits over the effective yet older models. Signature advises organizations that use the older products to plan purchasing strategies that will ensure not only the maintenance of current inventory needs, but additionally, the replacement of beacons within the next 5 years. Organizations using this type of equipment should note that changes in the satellite monitoring facilities for Personal Locator Beacons mean that older products face obsolescence by 2009.

The newly launched SARBE G2R Pilot Recovery System has a considerable range of features, providing optimum opportunity for early and safe recovery of downed pilots. These features include GPS location, data encryption, combat programming, random burst transmission, covert channel selection, speech transmission and automated activation.

The new SARBE G2R system has been designed to take advantage of a new generation of satellites that are expected to be deployed over the next few years. G2R forms the basis from which future beacons will be derived. The modular design of G2R allows a range of models to be available offering similar features and functionality to SARBE 5, 6, 7 and 8.

The biggest change in the latest SARBE system is that all models now will be available with 406MHz; which is a different radio frequency than past models and also embedded with GPS. SARBE staff will be available to offer technical advice and support at the Farnborough 2004 Show located at SARBE, Stand No. A7, HALL 1.

Digital Angel Corporation Demonstrates Technology at House Agriculture Committee Exposition
Thursday July 22, 7:32 am ET


SO. ST. PAUL, Minn., July 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Digital Angel Corporation (Amex: DOC - News), an advanced technology company in the field of rapid and accurate identification, location tracking, and condition monitoring of high-value assets, participated in a technology exposition for the House Agriculture Committee on Capitol Hill today.
President & CEO Kevin McGrath commented, "We found the technology exposition to be exciting and informative. In particular, Digital Angel demonstrated a variety of technologies in the field of tracking and identification, most notably, RFID tags and chips, scanners, and state-of-the-art herd management software. Moreover, I must say we found ourselves in good company, because the range of technologies together forms an ideal pool for a national livestock ID program such as the one that Secretary of Agriculture Ann Veneman has endorsed. Our technology can be rolled out quickly in quantities to cover the entire national livestock population as soon as we are called upon to do so."

Commenting about the House Agriculture Technology Exposition, Congressman Gil Gutknecht, Republican from Minnesota said, "I was pleased that the House Agriculture Committee held the Livestock Technology Expo today. Agriculture is truly becoming a high tech industry. Technology providers, such as Digital Angel, will play a critical role in the future of agriculture by bringing added value to the U.S. livestock industry."

Also commenting on the House Agriculture Technology Exposition, Congressman Betty McCollum, Democrat from Minnesota, said, "I am proud of South St. Paul company Digital Angel and am glad they participated in today`s House exposition. Minnesota families can also be proud that Minnesota companies are helping to protect the safety of our food supply. As Digital Angel demonstrated at today`s presentation, the company`s technology will help ensure that our country has the best livestock identification and tracking system in the world."

McGrath also said, "Our microchip technology is an inexpensive and efficient basis for animal tracking, whether it is for the purpose of tracing the source of a future outbreak of Mad Cow Disease, for other health reasons, or for efficient herd management. We have implemented programs dealing with cattle, swine, fisheries -- and all of them have proven effective. We certainly join with those on Capitol Hill who urge the Department of Agriculture to move with all deliberate speed to implement a national animal ID program to protect the health of the nation`s herds and the safety of the national food supply."

Portuguese Government Selects Digital Angel`s Implantable RFID Microchip for Mandatory Dog Identification Project
Friday July 23, 7:31 am ET


SO. ST. PAUL, Minn., July 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Digital Angel Corporation (Amex: DOC - News), an advanced technology company in the field of rapid and accurate identification, location tracking, and condition monitoring of high-value assets, announced today that it has won a contract from the Portuguese Ministry of Agriculture to launch the first phase of a national mandatory dog identification project using the Company`s proprietary implantable RFID (radio frequency identification) microchip. This contract is valued at approximately $600,000 and shipments have begun and are expected to be completed in the third quarter.
ADVERTISEMENT


Leo Ortenblad, Digital Angel`s General Manager for the RFID Division`s International Activities commented, "We are delighted that the Portuguese Ministry of Agriculture has selected Digital Angel`s RFID chip for the launch of this important program, one of many in the planning stages throughout Europe. We were selected after a very competitive bid process partly on the basis of our 15 years of proven results in the European market, both in terms of performance and reliability. Digital Angel is the original innovator, intellectual-property owner and the world`s largest marketer of implantable microchip technology for the companion pet marketplace and we consider our established technological platform to be unsurpassed by any other manufacturer."

The Portuguese dog identification program is being conducted in conjunction with the country`s annual rabies vaccination drive. The Portuguese ministry was prompted to undertake the project because other countries in Europe had experienced excellent results with their pet identification campaigns and the injectable electronic identification of pets is rapidly growing in popularity throughout the world.

The deadline for all of Portugal`s approximately 2 million dogs to be identified and registered in a national database is 2007.

Digital Angel`s partner in the Portuguese initiative, and all its European pet identification programs, is Atlanta-based Merial, one of the world`s leading animal healthcare companies.

The issue of pet identification is prominent throughout Europe, thanks also to the recently enacted European Union`s Pet Passport Initiative. This requires all pets being transported between, and into, member countries to have an electronic ID system or tattoo number as well as a record of vaccinations and other clinical data by October 1.

About Merial

Merial is a Merck and Aventis company and is one of the world`s leading animal healthcare companies. Merial has an extensive network of sixteen manufacturing sites globally and operates in more than 150 countries worldwide. Merial also has the largest research & development investment in the animal health industry with ten research & development centers around the world.

Applied Digital Unveils Corporate Branding and Marketing Strategy at Annual Shareholders` Meeting
Monday July 26, 7:40 am ET
"Security Through Innovation" Strategy Unveiled at Saturday`s Delray Beach Event


DELRAY BEACH, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 26, 2004-- Applied Digital (NASDAQ:ADSX - News), a provider of Security through Innovation, announced today results from its Annual Shareholders` Meeting held Saturday, July 24th, in Delray Beach, Florida. At the event, the Company unveiled its corporate branding and marketing strategy reflecting both its current business and where it sees the Company`s direction. The refined strategy centers around "Security Through Innovation":
Security for People
Security for Animals
Security for Food Chains
Security for Government and Military Assets
Security for Commercial Assets

After one and one half years of financial strengthening and a lengthy evaluation of its leading products and services, Applied Digital now recognizes over half of its revenues from the government and military and almost all of its products and services are security related. In conjunction with the announcement, the Company unveiled a new corporate logo.

"We have developed a suite of advanced technology solutions for many of the most challenging security issues facing the international community today," said Scott R. Silverman, Applied Digital`s Chairman and CEO. "Through Digital Angel (AMEXOC - News), we protect animals (companion pets, fish and livestock) using our proprietary microchip, eartag and scanner technologies. This same technology allows us to monitor, identify and evaluate food chains and their safety. VeriChip, the first implantable microchip for humans, provides security for people, their personal information, their identity, their medical records (pending FDA approval), and their financial information. VeriChip also provides security for building access and facility monitoring, as reflected by the recent `chipping` of Attorney General of Mexico, Rafael Macedo de la Concha and some of his staff."

Silverman continued, "Through Digital Angel`s Signature Industries, we manufacture a leading Search and Rescue Beacon- SARBE- for the security of fighter jets and their pilots. We also provide security for the Department of Homeland Security, specifically The Border Patrol and U.S. Customs. Digital Angel`s OuterLink subsidiary provides spread spectrum location and communication technology to these agencies as well as Shell Oil Company. Our GTI subsidiary sells and maintains secure telecomm infrastructure to numerous agencies of the Federal Government. This is just part of how Applied Digital provides `Security Through Innovation`."

The Company also announced that all four items shareholders were asked to consider were approved at the Annual Meeting. Michael S. Zariello and Mr. Silverman were elected as new Directors through fiscal year 2007, while J. Michael Norris was ratified as a Director through fiscal year 2006. Each received approximately 98% of the votes cast. Eisner LLP was ratified for fiscal 2004 as the Company`s independent auditors, receiving approximately 99% of the vote. 60% of the Company`s shareholders also approved an amendment to the 2003 Employee Stock Plan, increasing the number of shares to 2.6 million from 1.4 million. Finally, 68% of the shareholders ratified options granted to a new director.

Applied Digital Updates Shareholders on the Status of the 510-K- Application for the Medical Use of Verichip
Tuesday July 27, 8:00 am ET


DELRAY BEACH, Fla. & SO. ST. PAUL, Minn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 27, 2004--Applied Digital (NASDAQ:ADSX - News)
ADVERTISEMENT


As expected, the FDA has issued a letter indicating that there is

no substantially equivalent device and, accordingly, a "de novo"

application will immediately be filed

Applied Digital (NASDAQ:ADSX - News), a provider of innovative security products, announced today that Digital Angel Corporation (AMEXOC - News) has received notice from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) stating that there is no substantially equivalent device to VeriChip currently being marketed. Accordingly, the Company will immediately file a "de novo" application for VeriChip`s medical uses. Statutory guidelines provide up to 60 days for the de novo review process. Digital Angel is the manufacturer of VeriChip and has licensed the technology to VeriChip Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Applied Digital, for human applications.

"We are pleased that the FDA has issued this ruling," said Scott R. Silverman, Applied Digital`s Chairman and CEO. "While we certainly would have preferred this to happen sooner, we are pleased that the FDA has made this determination. This assures the Company that the FDA will determine, in a relatively short period of time, whether we can introduce the VeriChip to the health care market in the United States. As we expected this outcome, we have already prepared our de novo application and will file it immediately."

As previously disclosed, the FDA response is the long-expected result of the Companies` 510 (K) application for the medical application of VeriChip, originally filed in October 2003.

VeriChip is the world`s first implantable microchip designed for human use. Digital Angel Corporation filed the 510(K) application with the FDA in October 2003 on behalf of VeriChip seeking the agency`s approval to market VeriChip`s healthcare information applications in the United States.

Commenting of this expected pathway, Kevin McGrath, CEO of Digital Angel Corporation stated, "We have been preparing for this day for many months. We look forward to working with the FDA to expedite its decision-making process."

Commenting on the medical application of VeriChip, Kevin Wiley, CEO of VeriChip Corporation, stated, "We continue to market and sell VeriChip internationally primarily for the security application. As evidenced by the recent chipping of Mexico`s Attorney General and his staff, the VeriChip technology provides first-of-a-kind tamper-proof and secure applications. These applications can also occur with medical records and medical device information. We look forward to the de novo process and the ultimate conclusion of the regulatory process."

About the size of a grain of rice, VeriChip is a subdermal radio frequency (RFID) microchip. Once inserted under the skin in a brief outpatient procedure, the human eye cannot see VeriChip. Each VeriChip contains a unique verification number that is captured by briefly passing a proprietary scanner over the chipping site.

In addition to healthcare applications, VeriChip can be used in a variety of security, financial and emergency identification applications. The healthcare application is the only one subject to FDA clearance.

About VeriChip(TM)

VeriChip is a subdermal, radio frequency identification (RFID) device that can be used in a variety of security, financial, emergency identification and other applications. About the size of a grain of rice, each VeriChip product contains a unique verification number that is captured by briefly passing a proprietary scanner over the VeriChip. The standard location of the microchip is in the triceps area between the elbow and the shoulder of the right arm. The brief outpatient "chipping" procedure lasts just a few minutes and involves only local anesthetic followed by quick, painless insertion of the VeriChip. Once inserted just under the skin, the VeriChip is inconspicuous to the naked eye. A small amount of radio frequency energy passes from the scanner energizing the dormant VeriChip, which then emits a radio frequency signal transmitting the verification number. In October 2002, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) ruled that VeriChip is not a regulated device with regard to its security, financial, personal identification/safety applications but that VeriChip`s healthcare information applications are regulated by the FDA. VeriChip Corporation is a wholly owned subsidiary of Applied Digital.

Digital Angel Corporation Announces 2004 Second Quarter, Six-Month Results
Tuesday August 3, 4:00 pm ET
Year-Over-Year Revenues Up 27.5 Percent in Second Quarter, 12.3 Percent in Six Months, Company Provides Guidance for 2004


SO. ST. PAUL, Minn., Aug. 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Digital Angel Corporation (Amex: DOC - News), an advanced technology company in the field of rapid and accurate identification, location tracking and condition monitoring of high-value assets, today announced results for its second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2004. Revenues were up 27.5 percent in the second quarter and 12.3 percent in the six months, compared to the prior-year periods as the Company continued implementing several key initiatives designed to accelerate top-line growth.
ADVERTISEMENT


Revenue for the second quarter of 2004 was $10.1 million and the net loss was $2.0 million, or $0.06 loss per share, compared to revenue of $7.9 million and a net loss of $2.4 million, or $0.09 loss per share in the same period of 2003.

Revenue for the first six months of 2004 was $20.8 million and the net loss was $5.7 million, or $0.18 loss per share, compared to revenue of $18.6 million and a net loss of $2.3 million, or $0.08 loss per share in 2003. The results of the six months of 2004 were negatively affected by a non-operating charge of $2.6 million to recognize realized and unrealized losses on an investment in common shares of Applied Digital (Nasdaq: ADSX - News) that we received in March 2004. Applied Digital is a majority owner of Digital Angel Corporation.

Revenue for the Company`s Animal Applications segment of the business increased 17.8 percent, from $5.2 million to $6.1 million in the second quarter, and 1.5 percent, from $13.0 million to $13.2 million, in the first six months of 2004 compared to the prior year periods. In the GPS and Radio Communications segment, revenue increased by 45.9 percent, from $2.7 million to $4.0 million in the second quarter, and by 37.5 percent, from $5.6 million to $7.7 million, for the first six months of 2004 compared to the year earlier periods. The increases in the GPS and Radio Communications segment were primarily due to increased revenue at the Signature Industries subsidiary, based in the United Kingdom, and new revenue from Outerlink Corporation, which was purchased in January.

"Our animal applications business, particularly the livestock tracking segment, is certainly what Digital Angel is best known for because we have been in that industry for more than 50 years," said Chief Executive Officer Kevin McGrath. "In addition, our livestock business has gotten national attention because of concerns about mad-cow disease and our related strengths in providing the technology necessary for a national livestock-identification system. In that regard, we are working closely with the U.S. Department of Agriculture toward implementing an effective national cattle-tracking program.

"However, we have a broader business than livestock tracking," McGrath added. "We have a national pet-identification business in partnership with Schering-Plough that has significant upside potential, a subsidiary based in the United Kingdom, Signature Industries, that manufactures a sophisticated search-and-rescue beacon device for military pilots; and we recently acquired Outerlink Corporation, which brought us another valuable asset in its tracking and communication systems for helicopters, among other high-valued assets. We are confident all our divisions will be significant growth engines for us in the near future."

The Company projects that revenue from its current operations is expected to be approximately $45 million, that it will be EBITDA positive in both the 3rd and 4th quarters, and that it will reach operational cash-flow breakeven by the 4th quarter.

In April Digital Angel concluded the sale of certain assets of its Medical Systems unit to MedAire Inc. for $420,000 in addition to MedAire assuming certain liabilities and other financial considerations. In late July, after the conclusion of the second quarter, Digital Angel sold the Medical Systems segment`s land and buildings in a separate transaction for $1.5 million. Net cash received on the sale, after paying off the related building mortgage, was approximately $0.4 million.

"One of our most important goals this year has been to look closely at our varied assets and determine what we should divest and where we should deploy our resources in order to realize near-term revenue growth and profitability," said CFO James P. Santelli. "The sale of our Medical Systems unit was the result of that initiative, as was the purchase of Outerlink. Our entire management team believes we are now better focused on the types of businesses where we can excel and deliver substantial value to our shareholders."

Results Conference Call

A conference call for institutional investors to discuss the results for the second quarter of fiscal year 2004 will take place today at 4:15 PM EDT, and will be broadcast live over the Internet.

PAUL, Minn., Aug. 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Digital Angel Corporation (Amex: DOC - News) announced today that it has signed a 10-year exclusive product supply and distribution agreement with Schering-Plough Animal Health Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Schering-Plough Corporation (NYSE: SGP - News). The new agreement allows Schering-Plough Animal Health to continue to be the exclusive distributor of Digital Angel electronic identification products (microchips and scanners) for companion animals throughout the United States.
The agreement calls for annual purchases to increase at least 20 percent per year for 2005 and 2006. The volume increase combined with other unspecified revenue enhancements are expected to yield significant revenue increases for 2005 and 2006. Schering-Plough Animal Health currently markets the complete Digital Angel Electronic pet identification system under the brand name HomeAgain® and approximately 6,000 pets are recovered through the system in the U.S. every month.

The agreement with Schering-Plough Animal Health extends the companies` existing relationship and adds new incentives and financial considerations for this growing market. For the past two years, HomeAgain sales have been growing at a rate of more than 30 percent per year. "Together, our two companies, along with a few other pioneers, built the national pet identification market, which didn`t even exist 10 years ago, and built the HomeAgain brand into a leader recognized by veterinarians, shelters and pet owners across the country," said Kevin McGrath, CEO of Digital Angel Corporation. "Now, with demand at an all-time high, it is time for us to take this market to the next level. We are committed to leveraging the consumer awareness we already enjoy. The combination of the innovators at Digital Angel and Schering-Plough`s national marketing and distribution strength will tap into that tremendous potential for growth. We look forward to another 10 years of working with Schering-Plough to increase the pet health and safety of all companion animals."

Digital Angel has been developing and manufacturing a series of RFID (radio-frequency identification) products for pets including microchips, readers and non-surgical injection systems for 15 years. The HomeAgain pet identification system involves the insertion of a microchip with identifying information in the animal allowing electronic readers at animal shelters, veterinary clinics and other locations throughout the country to determine the animal`s owner and other information.

The pet identification program includes a national database that holds the identification details and can be accessed through the HomeAgain system. There are an estimated 100 million dogs and cats in the United States and approximately 2.5 million of them have already been enrolled in the database, a number that continues to grow each month.

"Our new contract with Schering-Plough Animal Health is a testament to the successful relationship the two companies have enjoyed," noted Mr. McGrath. "Moreover, this new contract will not only bring new revenue to Digital Angel, but also serve as a platform for the development of a series of new products and services that can revolutionize the industry, gaining additional presence in the very large and rapidly expanding pet health product market in the United States."

Digital Angel Corporation to Participate in Canadian Government-Funded National Electronic Cattle Identification Program
Wednesday September 15, 7:30 am ET
Part of $488 Million Program Provides Funds for Calves to be Electronically Tagged at Birth


SO. ST. PAUL, Minn., Sept. 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Digital Angel Corporation (Amex: DOC - News) announced today that the Company will immediately begin marketing its proprietary RFID (radiofrequency identification) tags and scanners to Canadian cattle farmers and ranchers due to the Canadian government`s recently announced funding of a national electronic cattle identification program scheduled to be launched this fall. The Canadian government recently announced that, as part of the six-part, $488 (Canadian) million Canadian Agricultural Income Stabilization (CAIS) Program, farmers and ranchers throughout Canada will receive government funds to cover the costs of electronically tagging a portion of the 2004-2005 calf crop. Digital Angel is one of only four companies with government approved electronic RFID ear tags and scanners currently participating.
The Canadian government announced the newest steps in the CAIS program September 10 as part of a national initiative to revitalize the country`s struggling beef industry which has been damaged since the spring of 2003 when the country experienced its first Mad Cow Disease scare. All of the world`s largest beef importers, including Japan and the United States, have stopped buying Canadian beef and the nation`s economy has been severely impacted.

Digital Angel, the pioneer in animal RFID products, offers a full line of its Destron Technologies cattle electronic identification products that were approved by the Canadian Cattle Identification Agency (CCIA) after four years of testing for retention, readability and overall functionality at feed lots and packing programs throughout Canada. Precise details of how the funds will be distributed and how the national identification program will be implemented will be announced later, but it is clear that Digital Angel will play an important role, said Chief Executive Officer Kevin McGrath.

"Thanks to the backing of the Canadian government, farmers and ranchers throughout Canada will have an almost immediate need for our products," McGrath said. "This is an exciting start to what ultimately will be a national cattle identification program and we are committed to working closely with the cattle producers in Canada to take this important step to help restore confidence in their beef industry. This is obviously a significant initiative for our Company, but more importantly it is a significant initiative for the beef industry all over Canada and for the nation`s economy in general."

Canada had the vision several years ago to create the CCIA with the expressed purpose of implementing a national cattle identification program and quickly recognized that RFID would be an important element in its overall success. A database of the country`s approximately 122,000 cattle producers, which has a total cattle inventory of 14.7 million head of cattle that produce approximately 3.6 million pounds of beef and beef products annually, is already in place.

Digital Angel Corporation Names Paul Laronde Business Manager, Canada
Monday September 20, 7:31 am ET
Initial Responsibilities Include Leading Company Focus on RFID National Electronic Cattle Identification Program


SO. ST. PAUL, Minn., Sept. 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Digital Angel Corporation (Amex: DOC - News) announced today that veteran sales and marketing executive Paul Laronde has been named Business Manager, Canada and will spearhead the Company`s new business initiative within Canada, effective October 2004. Laronde`s initial responsibilities include leading the Digital Angel team focused on Canada`s national electronic cattle identification program being launched this fall.
ADVERTISEMENT


Laronde, 45, a resident of Waterloo, Ontario, has spent the past 10 years in sales and marketing for various veterinary health and animal identification companies and the Ontario government. His experience in government and the animal health market will be particularly valuable given the Canadian government`s intent to implement a national livestock identification program, said Digital Angel Chief Executive Officer Kevin McGrath.

"We are making a serious commitment to the Canadian identification market. Paul brings an extensive professional background working with Canadian commodity groups, breed associations, industry distribution channels and government agencies," McGrath said. "Paul has been actively involved in the development of the Canadian Livestock Identification Association which will form the framework for traceability and identification for other livestock species in Canada. This broad background will greatly facilitate the establishment of our proprietary RFID products and technologies throughout the country. The government recently announced a set-aside program for fall calves which links payment to the new electronic identification initiative for cattle. All calves must have an approved electronic ear tag to be eligible for payment. This is a significant opportunity for Digital Angel and we look forward to working with Paul on this national initiative."

Laronde was previously the Livestock Traceability Coordinator for Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food where he worked with industry and government stakeholders to foster traceability initiatives in the province and nationally.

Prior to that, Laronde was the National Sales Manager for Allflex Canada, based in St. Hyacinthe, Quebec, where he was responsible for developing and maintaining sales and market share for the company within Canada.

Digital Angel Corporation Announces Orders for Immediate Shipment of More Than 50,000 Implantable Microchips to Europe After Recent Rabies Incident
Tuesday September 21, 8:40 am ET
French Decree Creates Spike in Demand for Microchips in Bordeaux Area


SO. ST. PAUL, Minn., Sept. 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Digital Angel Corporation (Amex: DOC - News), an advanced technology company in the field of rapid and accurate identification, location tracking and condition monitoring of high value assets, announced today that its European distribution partner, Merial, has ordered more than 50,000 of the Company`s proprietary implantable RFID (radiofrequency identification) microchips for pets in response to a surge in demand due to a recent rabies incident in the Bordeaux region of France. Atlanta-based Merial is one of the world`s leading animal healthcare companies.
ADVERTISEMENT


The rabies incident was triggered by an infected dog transferred illegally into France from Morocco through Spain that had multiple contacts with people and other animals before it was isolated by French authorities. The French government quarantined part of the Bordeaux area and decided to take several precautions against any unidentified or unvaccinated stray pet in the area, including the possibility of euthanasia, creating a spike in demand among pet owners for RFID microchips to identify their animals.

"This incident has led to an incredible demand for RFID microchips in Bordeaux and surrounding areas," said Digital Angel Chief Executive Officer Kevin McGrath. "Ironically, the European Union is already advocating a rigorous animal identification program designed to prevent the spread of pet borne diseases into the EU and among member states. We are working closely with Merial to respond quickly to this and any other incident causing increasing demand anywhere in Europe."

The European Union (EU) has declared an October 1 deadline for compliance with the EU Pet Passport Program which mandates all companion pets to have a passport bearing the animal`s microchip or tattoo number for identification as well as records of all vaccinations, clinical examinations and other data before being allowed entry to a member country. European Union regulations also require that electronic scanners that can read implantable microchips be placed at all ports of entry to EU countries.

Other countries in Europe have experienced excellent results with their pet identification campaigns and the use of electronic identification of pets is rapidly growing in popularity throughout the world. In June, the Portuguese Ministry of Agriculture announced that the country`s estimated 2 million dogs will be "chipped" and the data entered into a national database by 2007.

PAUL, Minn., Sept. 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Digital Angel Corporation (Amex: DOC - News), an advanced technology company in the field of rapid and accurate identification, location tracking and condition monitoring of high value assets, announced today that it has been selected by the state of Minnesota as a technology partner and provider of RFID (radio frequency identification) systems for a pilot program designed to test the viability of a large scale food animal identification and tracking program.

The state of Minnesota has been allocated nearly $435,000 in federal funds, part of $18.8 million in nationwide emergency funding provided by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), to launch the first phase of the pilot project, which will include working with a variety of animal industry partners to set up a system to identify farms, feed lots, auction markets and processing plants in the state, establish a database and to begin tagging the food animals, including beef and dairy cattle and pigs, among other animals. The program was prompted in a large part by the December 2003 case of Mad Cow Disease in the state of Washington which has caused many countries to ban the import of U.S. beef.

"Our goal is to implement one of the best and most reliable animal identification and tracking systems in the world," said Minnesota Board of Animal Health Executive Director and State Veterinarian Dr. Bill Hartmann. "Digital Angel is already working with several of Minnesota`s key producers, which allows us to immediately access animal data available on important projects."

The pilot project will identify animals and track them throughout their lifecycle to demonstrate the feasibility of RFID. Digital Angel`s RFID systems have been designed to meet the requirement of government`s permanent identification needs and food animal producers` requirements for efficiency and economic return on investment.

Digital Angel, the pioneer in animal RFID projects, offers a full line of technologies in the field of tracking and identification, including RFID tags and implantable microchips, scanners and advanced herd management software which has proven it can be rolled out quickly in large quantities. The Company`s systems have already proven themselves effective in tracking cattle, swine and fish, said Chief Executive Officer Kevin McGrath.

"Our proprietary microchip technology has proven to be an inexpensive and efficient basis for animal tracking and we look forward to working with the state of Minnesota to again prove its value on a large scale program," McGrath said. "We believe our RFID technology can be the basis of a truly national animal identification system that protects our nation`s herds and the safety of our food supply."

Ich kann dir dazu raten , daß diese Aktien in deinem Depot enthalten sein sollte. Sie kostet derzeit nur 1,78 EUR und wird die Aktien mit dem meisten Zuwachs in den nächsten 5 Jahren werden.

Hier ein Bericht wie der Chip nun auch nach EU zum ersten Einsatz kam. Es fängt klein an und wird sich über die ganze Welt ausbreiten.

Kreditkarte als Chip unter der Haut

Der letzte Schrei für VIPs

Auf dem spanischen Festland buhlen die Night-Clubs mit immer neuen Ideen um ihre Stamm-Kundschaft, entwickeln in diesem Konkurrenzkampf eine ungeheure Kreativität, wähnen sich mit zweifelhaften Neuerungen an der Spitze des technischen Fortschritts. Letzter Gag in Barcelona: Von selbsternannten, sogenannten VIPs wird die Kneipen-Rechnung jetzt mit einem unter die Haut implantierten Chip bezahlt.





Dieser Chip speichert die Daten

Der Chip wird mittels einer Spritze eingesetzt




Noch ist nichts los in der Diskothek Baja Beach Club in Barcelona. Krankenschwester Laia nutzt die Ruhe. Ihre Utensilien hat sie wie immer selbst mitgebracht. In der VIP-Lounge bereitet sie schon mal alles für ihren nächsten Kunden vor. Desinfektions- und Betäubungsmittel und natürlich Spritzbesteck. Mehrmals pro Woche implantiert Laia Diskothekenbesuchern winzig kleine Chips! Ein Spezialangebot nur für VIPs! In der Spritze ist der Chip, der mit einer bestimmten Nummer codiert ist. Für jeden Kunden eine, erklärt der Direktor der Diskothek Conrad Chase und gibt die Nummer für den nächsten VIP schon mal ein. Kunden mit Chip! Eine ausgeflippte Idee! Und so sieht der Träger der Code-Nummer aus. Nicht grösser als ein Reiskorn kann er alle relevanten Daten speichern, bei den Disko VIPS der letzte Schrei.

Dann kommt Alex, einer der VIPs, noch ohne Chip. Heute will er sich endlich einen setzten lassen. Die meisten anderen haben ja schon alle. Und weil hier keiner an Krankenhaus denkt, hat er so gut wie keine Angst. Laia ist bereit. Die meisten ihrer Kunden staunen, dass sie, als Krankenschwester den Eingriff hier an Ort und Stelle vornehmen darf. Doch das ist rechtlich OK und wäre übrigens auch in Deutschland erlaubt. Ein letzter Schmerztest, nichts gespürt? Dann implantiert Laia den Chip. Jetzt gehört Alex zu den ersten Menschen weltweit mit einem Bezahlchip unter der Haut! Zahlen mit Bargeld oder Kreditkarte - hier im Baja Beach Club ist das Schnee von gestern. Die Disko ist damit Vorreiter in Barcelona, und erst wer den Chip intus hat, ist so richtig in. Die elektronisch tätowierten VIP`s sind überzeugt, dass sie damit einen neuen Trend setzen, und in der Tat: Experten prognostizieren für die nächsten Jahre eine Verzehnfachung der virtuellen Zahlungen.

Chip plus OP kosten 170 Euro, dafür schreibt die Diskothek jedem neuen Chip-Träger 100 Euro gut. Alex schmeisst zum Einstand eine Runde. Und das geht jetzt so: die Bedienung hat ein portables Lesegerät, das den Code auf Alex Chip liest. Dazu muss sie das Gerät nur kurz an seinen Arm halten. Seine Nummer erscheint im Display. Am PC geht die Rechnung auf diese Nummer, das ist Alex. 37 Euro bucht die Bedienung von seinem Anfangsguthaben ab. Dass der Chip nicht nur ein Partygag, sondern ein Bezahlsystem mit Zukunft ist, da ist sich Direktor Chase ganz sicher: " Man muss sich doch nur mal umsehen, jeder hat heute doch Piercings und Tatoos, Silikon, Silikon-Lippen und sonst wo am Körper. Davor haben die Leute doch auch keine Angst. Dann hab ich gedacht, das mach ich. Und die Leute haben den Chip sehr gut angenommen." Bleibt die Kritik, ständiger Überwachung sei Tür und Tor geöffnet. Solange aber nur Nummern und keine Namen auf dem Chip gespeichert sind, ist da nichts dran. Also weiterfeiern, der Chip jedenfalls stört hier jedenfalls dabei keinen.

Der Chip ist übrigens von ADSX

FDA Clears VeriChip for Medical Applications in the United States
Wednesday October 13, 9:01 am ET


DELRAY BEACH, Fla. & SOUTH ST. PAUL, Minn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 13, 2004--Applied Digital (NASDAQ: ADSX - News), a provider of Security Through Innovation(TM) and Digital Angel Corporation (AMEXOC - News) announced today that VeriChip(TM), the world`s first implantable radio frequency identification (RFID) microchip for human use, has been cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for medical uses in the United States. The FDA clearance follows the completion of a de novo application review.
ADVERTISEMENT


The Company will hold a conference call today at 10:30 am eastern time in order to discuss the FDA`s decision, Company`s marketing strategy and medical applications for VeriChip. Interested participants should dial [phone]. The conference ID is 1531948. International callers should dial [phone] and use the same conference ID. The call will also be webcast and will be available on the Home Page of Applied Digital`s web site at www.adsx.com.

As previously disclosed, the FDA response is the result of the Company`s 510(k) application and subsequent de novo application for the medical and healthcare uses of VeriChip, originally submitted in October 2003. Digital Angel Corporation is the manufacturer of VeriChip and has licensed the technology to VeriChip Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Applied Digital, for human applications.

The VeriChip Health Information Microtransponder System consists of an implantable RFID microtransponder, an inserter, a proprietary hand-held scanner, and secure database containing the patient approved healthcare information. About the size of a grain of rice, VeriChip is a subdermal radio frequency microchip. Once inserted under the skin in a brief outpatient procedure, the VeriChip cannot be seen by the human eye. Each VeriChip contains a unique 16-digit verification number that is captured by briefly passing a proprietary scanner over the insertion site. The captured 16 digit number links to the database via encrypted Internet access. The previously stored information is then conveyed via the internet to the registered requesting healthcare provider.

HERE`S A COMPANY that wants to get under your skin — literally.
Shares of Applied Digital (ADSX) surged 68% to $3.57 Wednesday after the Delray Beach, Fla., company received the go-ahead from the Food and Drug Administration to implant microchips into humans for medical use. Known as a VeriChip, the radio-frequency identification, or RFID, device is being codeveloped with Digital Angel (DOC), Applied Digital`s publicly traded subsidiary. Digital Angel, based in South St. Paul, Minn., saw its stock climb 29% to $3.49.

"This is a big deal," says Kevin Dede, an analyst at Merriman Curhan Ford. "The major hurdle to overcome is the whole George Orwell `1984` thing, that fear that Big Brother is watching you."

About the size of a grain of rice, a VeriChip can be implanted under the skin, usually on the upper-arm between the elbow and the shoulder. Once inserted there in a brief outpatient procedure involving local anesthetic, the microchip isn`t visible to the naked eye. The unique 16-digit verification number transmitted by a VeriChip`s radio-frequency signal can only be picked up by a proprietary scanner.

While the technology has a number of potential applications, from security to financial, the FDA`s decision only applies to medical uses. In theory, doctors treating a patient implanted with the chip could with the wave of a scanner gain access to a person`s medical history, including blood type, drug allergies and pre-existing conditions. That could prove useful in emergency-room situations, in particular, when a patient isn`t responsive. The information isn`t stored on the chip itself; rather, the verification number on the chip is linked to a database that`s accessed via encrypted Internet access.

Though on the surface the idea borders on the realm of fantasy, practical applications have already been found for the chips. Digital Angel, which is 70% owned by Applied Digital, currently uses the technology to track pets and livestock. Applied Digital licenses the technology from Digital Angel. In its written release announcing FDA approval, Applied Digital didn`t specify when or how the VeriChip would gain widespread acceptance among the medical community. Company officials couldn`t be reached immediately for comment.

Now 16 years old, Applied Digital began as a computer distributor. By 1993, it was specializing in mobile-communication and data collection using wireless computers. The company went public in 1994, and a year later it began an acquisition spree that pulled in an eclectic mix of nearly 100 companies in fields as diverse as computer-aided design, retailing applications and satellite subsystems. It bought Destron Fearing, which had developed an animal-tracking chip, in 2000. Applied combined Destron Fearing with its digital mini-transceiver technology operations to form the subsidiary Digital Angel.

Privacy concerns dogged Applied Digital when it unveiled a chip prototype four years ago. Civil libertarians and others worried the chips could be used to track individuals. At that time the company promised only to use the chips externally and projected a market potential of $70 billion. So far the rosy outlook hasn`t panned out. Applied Digital had a net loss of $3.0 million on sales of $26.3 million for its second quarter.

Facing financial pressure to pay back the $100 million it owed to IBM (IBM) after the chip failed to catch on in 2000, Applied Digital changed chief executives, restructured debt agreements and began selling off assets to raise cash. IBM eventually settled for a $30 payment, and forgave the other $70 million. Applied Digital ultimately narrowed its focus to three divisions: Advanced Technologies, which includes VeriChip; Digital Angel, which was spun off in 2002; and InfoTech USA, which generates most of Applied Digital`s revenue. InfoTech installs, maintains and services telecommunication facilities and equipment.

In a sign of acceptance, at least in animals, Digital Angel last month said it planned to sell its tracking chips to the Canadian government, which is funding a national cattle-identification drive in response to a case of mad-cow disease that turned up last year.

Quote:
"The potential market size for the VeriChip is substantial," says Merriman`s Dede. "The idea is insurance companies might want this type of identification with transplant patients or new-joint recipients, essentially anyone constantly in and out of hospitals — especially if that person is allergic to standard medications. The profitability potential is immense. But obviously it`s a matter of volume." (Dede, who thinks there`s potential for the VeriChip to replace traditional military dog tags, doesn`t own shares of Applied Digital or Digital Angel; Merriman Curhan Ford doesn`t have an investment-banking relationship with either company.)

US-Regierung genehmigt Funk-Implantat

Die US-Regierung hat der Einführung einer Technik zugestimmt, die Datenschützern schlaflose Nächte bereitet: ein winziger Funkchip, der unter die Haut implantiert wird. Der "VeriChip" soll medizinische Daten speichern - kann aber auch jede andere Art von Information über seinen Träger verraten.



AP
VeriChip: Funkender Winzling weckt Sorgen von Bürgerrechtlern
Eigentlich ist es nur ein unscheinbares Etwas, das in Form und Größe einem Reiskorn ähnelt. Doch der VeriChip hat es in sich: Er soll Gesundheitsdaten seines Trägers speichern können, um Ärzten im Notfall die Behandlung des Patienten zu erleichtern. Das jedenfalls ist das Hauptargument der US-Firma Applied Digital Solutions (ADS), die von der amerikanischen Food and Drug Adminstration (FDA) jetzt die Erlaubnis zum medizinischen Einsatz des VeriChip erhalten hat. Das Gerät ist laut ADS der weltweit erste bei Menschen implantierbare RFID-Chip (radio frequency identification).

Der VeriChip hat US-Bürgerrechtler schon auf die Barrikaden getrieben, als er im März 2002 der US-Gesundheitsbehörde zur Genehmigung vorgelegt wurde. Denn der funkende Winzling kann nicht nur die Gesundheitsdaten seines Besitzers speichern, sondern auch alle anderen Arten von Informationen - vom Verbraucherverhalten bis zum polizeilichen Führungszeugnis.

In einer Prozedur, die nur wenige Minuten dauert und völlig schmerzfrei verlaufen soll, wird der VeriChip mit einer Spritze unter die Haut implantiert. Danach soll er kaum sichtbar sein. Eine eigene Stromversorgung braucht er nicht: Seine magnetische Spule wird von einem Scanner aktiviert, der die gespeicherten Daten per Funk empfängt.



AP
VeriChip aus der Nähe: Magnetspule wird von einem Scanner aktiviert
Laut ADS soll VeriChip selbst keine medizinischen Daten enthalten, sondern nur Codes, mit deren Hilfe ein Arzt in einer gesicherten Datenbank die entsprechenden Patienten-Informationen abrufen kann. Diese Datenbank, nicht der Chip, würde dann auch mit neuen Daten gefüttert werden.

Allerdings hat die Herstellerfirma mit Sitz in Florida selbst schon eindrucksvoll unter Beweis gestellt, dass der Chip noch mehr kann - bis hin zur Überwachung und Verfolgung von Personen: VeriChip wurde in den USA rund einer Million Haustieren implantiert, damit diese von ihren Besitzern jederzeit wieder aufgespürt werden können.

ADS verheimlicht zudem keinesfalls, dass VeriChip zu "Sicherheitszwecken" verwendet werden kann, wie Geschäftsführer Scott Silverman erklärte. Vorstellbar ist nach Angaben des Unternehmens auch ein Einsatz in der Verbrechensbekämpfung und der nationalen Verteidigung. Das wiederum scheint schwer vereinbar mit einem weiteren, schon früher erklärten Ziel von ADS: Den VeriChip niemandem zu verkaufen, der ihn anderen Menschen gegen ihren Willen einpflanzen will.

Die Privatsphäre von Patienten zumindest könne laut Silverman geschützt werden, indem der VeriChip nur lebenswichtige medizinische Daten wie die Blutgruppe oder Allergien speichere. Die gelungene Markteinführung lässt sich ADS im Übrigen Einiges kosten: 200 Krankenhäuser sollen die Scanner zum Auslesen der Informationen, die sonst 650 US-Dollar pro Stück kosten sollen, gratis bekommen.

Over $9 Million of the increase resulted from the purchase by Satellite Strategic Finance Associates, LLP of 2.5 million shares of the Company`s common stock at market price based on a 5-day moving average of the Company`s common stock for the period ended October 19, 2004, or $3.61 per share.

The Company will file an 8-K today attaching the Securities Purchase Agreement and accompanying documents. The remainder of the $11.5 million is attributable to the exercise of other warrants. The Company has agreed to file a registration statement on Form S-3 within 30 days after the closing of the transaction for purposes of registering the shares.

"The recent clearance by the Food and Drug Administration for the medical applications of VeriChip creates significant growth opportunities for Applied and VeriChip Corporation," noted Scott R. Silverman, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Applied Digital.

Digital Angel Corporation`s SARBE(R) Unit First to Gain Approval on COSPAS-SARSAT(R) Satellite System
Monday October 25, 11:43 am ET


SO. ST. PAUL, Minn., Oct. 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Digital Angel Corporation (Amex: DOC - News), an advanced technology company in the field of rapid and accurate identification, location tracking, and condition monitoring of high-value assets, today announced Digital Angel Corporation`s London based Signature Industries has received approval from COSPAS-SARSAT to operate its SARBE `G2R` military personnel location beacon (PLB) on the COSPAS-SARSAT satellite system based in London.
ADVERTISEMENT


COSPAS-SARSAT is the internationally funded satellite system operator that detects activated search and rescue beacons and is responsible for approving all rescue beacons. COSPAS-SARSAT forecasts that the global population of the new generation of digital beacons will grow from 400,0000 to 900,000 by 2012 giving Signature Industries major opportunities to upgrade existing customers equipment and sell into new markets. For more information on COSPAS-SARSAT please go to http://www.cospas-sarsat.org.

Kevin McGrath CEO and President of Digital Angel Corporation commented, "I am extremely pleased with the performance of Signature Industries with respect to the SARBE G2R. 2003 was a year of significant expense associated with world class engineering development related to the G2R. 2004 has seen initial production of the unit along with COSPAS-SARSAT approval."

The G2R is the first PLB in the world to be approved for new, stringent approval procedures introduced by the COSPAS-SARSAT satellite authority which will apply to all new 406 MHz PLB`s. Major changes to the world`s satellite rescue systems will be introduced between 2004 and 2009.

The current `LEO` (low earth orbit) satellite system, which utilizes 121.5 MHz and 243 MHz frequency for distress emergency will be switched off in 2009 and will be replaced by a geo-stationary satellite system on 406 MHz to provide greater coverage of the earth`s surface. The system provides digital transfer of data, enabling accurate GPS location of the survivor and details of the individual.

Digital Angel Corporation Announces First Shipments of RFID Tags for Cattle Identification in Canada
Monday November 8, 7:32 am ET
Initial Orders of More Than 200,000 Electronic Tags Fully Comply With Strict Government Specifications


SO. ST. PAUL, Minn., Nov. 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Digital Angel Corporation (Amex: DOC - News), an advanced technology company in the field of rapid and accurate identification, location tracking, and condition monitoring of high-value assets, today announced that it has begun shipping its proprietary RFID (radiofrequency identification) electronic tags to Canadian farmers. The Company currently has orders for more than 200,000 electronic tags from Compass Animal Health, a Canadian distributor, in response to initial demand from the recent announcement of the Canadian government`s funding of a national set-aside program for calves.
ADVERTISEMENT


Digital Angel is one of only four companies with Canadian Cattle Identification Approved (CCIA)-approved electronic RFID ear tags and readers currently participating in the Canadian Set-Aside Program that provides funding for farmers and ranchers throughout Canada to alleviate the near-term surplus of animals going to processing. The program was established to address the struggling Canadian beef industry after the 2003 BSE scare closed the border to live cattle movements.

Under the terms of the program, all calves must have an approved electronic ear tag such as the Digital Angel e.Tag(TM) to be eligible for funding from the Canadian government.

"We believe this is the start of what may develop into a substantial business for us in Canada," said Digital Angel Chief Executive Officer Kevin McGrath. "The Canadian government has recognized that electronic tagging and RFID will be necessary for traceability of cattle in Canada."

Digital Angel, the pioneer in animal RFID products, offers a full line of its Destron Technologies cattle electronic identification products that were approved by the CCIA after four years of testing. A database of Canada`s approximately 122,000 cattle producers, which has a total cattle inventory of 14.7 million head of cattle that produces approximately 3.6 million pounds of beef and beef products annually, is already in place.

About VeriChip

VeriChip is a subdermal RFID device that can be used in a variety of security, financial, emergency identification and other applications. About the size of a grain of rice, each VeriChip product contains a unique verification number that is captured by briefly passing a proprietary scanner over the VeriChip. The recommended location of the microchip is in the triceps area between the elbow and the shoulder of the right arm. The brief outpatient "chipping" procedure lasts just a few minutes and involves only local anesthetic followed by quick, painless insertion of the VeriChip. Once inserted just under the skin, the VeriChip is inconspicuous to the naked eye. A small amount of radio frequency energy passes from the scanner energizing the dormant VeriChip, which then emits a radio frequency signal transmitting the verification number. In October 2004, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) cleared VeriChip for medical applications in the United States. VeriChip is not an FDA-regulated device with regard to its security, financial, personal identification/safety applications. VeriChip Corporation is a wholly owned subsidiary of Applied Digital.

Digital Angel Corporation Announces Initial Order of Proprietary Bio-Thermo(TM) Implantable Microchips for Japanese Companion Pet Market
Tuesday November 16, 7:31 am ET
Patent-Pending RFID Chips Provide Accurate Temperature Readings in Addition to Pet Identification


SO. ST. PAUL, Minn., Nov. 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Digital Angel Corporation (Amex: DOC - News), an advanced technology company in the field of rapid and accurate identification, location tracking, and condition monitoring of high-value assets, announced today that it had received its first commercial order from Japan for its proprietary Bio-Thermo(TM) Implantable Microchip, the pet industry`s first subdermal biosensor microchip that uses RFID (radiofrequency identification) technology to identify a pet and provide an accurate and reliable reading of its body temperature.
ADVERTISEMENT


Osaka, Japan-based Dainippon Pharmaceutical, the exclusive Japanese distributor of the Bio-Thermo microchip, has ordered 25,000 of the chips for the Japanese companion pet market to be delivered in the first quarter of 2005. The patent-pending Bio-Thermo microchip, which will initially be sold to the approximately 8,000 veterinarian clinics in Japan, provides an easy, non-invasive way to measure a pet`s body temperature which is commonly used as an indicator of its health.

The Japanese pet market, which includes an estimated 10 million dogs and 7.5 million cats, is the second international market for the Bio-Thermo chips. The chips were first introduced on a test basis in the United Kingdom in 2003.

"Based on the success of our first market venture in Great Britain, and the great reception we received there from vets and pet owners, we believe the Bio-Thermo chip could become the standard of practice for veterinarians around the world," said Digital Angel Chief Executive Officer Kevin McGrath. "As it is a reliable, automatic way to monitor temperature, we believe our Bio-Thermo product has applications in the livestock industry and for many other animals as well."

The non-invasive proprietary Bio-Thermo chip is based on a newly developed integrated circuit that has the ability to measure and monitor the temperature of an animal by passing a proprietary hand held scanner over the area where the microchip is implanted.

Digital Angel Corporation Starts Shipping Destron Electronic Products to USDA to Help Eradicate Chronic Wasting Disease
Thursday December 2, 7:30 am ET
RFID Tags, Scanners Will Assist Effort to Eradicate Contagious Disease in Captive Cervid Herds


SO. ST. PAUL, Minn., Dec. 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Digital Angel Corporation (Amex: DOC - News), an advanced technology company in the field of rapid and accurate identification, location tracking and condition monitoring of high-value assets, announced today that it had received an order from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) for the Company`s proprietary RFID (radiofrequency identification) traceability system to help the government`s ongoing effort to eradicate Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) in captive cervids.
ADVERTISEMENT



The initial order, valued at more than $200,000, covers the purchase of electronic tags and scanners designed to identify individual animals in the national captive cervid (deer and elk) population. The Digital Angel system is similar to the one the Company is currently using in the companion pet, livestock, and salmon industries in the U.S., Canada and other parts of the world.

The Company expects to ship the initial order this year and additional orders are expected during 2005.

Digital Angel competed for a contract to supply electronic identification devices for the USDA CWD program. The USDA contract was previously announced by Digital Angel in October 2003 but was postponed after competitors protested the award. The protests were overturned by the USDA.

"We are very pleased to have secured the purchase order and we look forward to working closely with the USDA," said Digital Angel Chief Executive Officer Kevin McGrath. "We believe our technology will be useful in this effort to eradicate Chronic Wasting Disease, which is an economically significant disease and needs to be kept under control."

About Chronic Wasting Disease

Chronic wasting disease is a fatal neurological disease found in deer and elk. It belongs to a family of diseases known as transmissible spongiform encephalopathies or prion diseases. The disease attacks the brains of infected deer and elk, causing the animals to become emaciated, display abnormal behavior, lose bodily functions and die. Besides being found in captive deer and elk, the disease has also been found in wild deer and elk in eight states and one Canadian provinces.

DELRAY BEACH, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 8, 2004--Applied Digital (NASDAQ: ADSX - News), a provider of Security Through Innovation(TM), announced today that its wholly owned subsidiary, VeriChip Corporation, has awarded the exclusive rights to distribute VeriChip in Thailand/Indonesia, Malaysia and South Korea. In order to maintain exclusivity, each distributor must purchase a minimum number of VeriChips and scanners during a three-year period. Collectively, these purchases would total a minimum of 65,825 VeriChips and 4,687 scanners. Each distributor plans to sell and market VeriChip for security-related, medical and emergency identification applications.
VeriChip Corporation awarded Inforlexus (www.Inforlexus.com.my) the exclusive distribution rights to Thailand/ Indonesia. The company also awarded exclusive distributorship rights for Malaysia to Universal Microchip (www.universalmicrochip.com). The company has awarded the exclusive distributor rights for South Korea to SI&I Co., Ltd. (www.siikorea.com). In 2002, the company had awarded the exclusive distributorship to another entity in the country that failed to meet its minimum purchase requirement and was therefore terminated.
