34,000,000

Shares of Common Stock


This prospectus relates to the resale of up to 34,000,000 shares of our common stock by Ironridge Technology Co., a division of Ironridge Global IV, Ltd., or Ironridge, pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement entered into between us and Ironridge dated July 12, 2012. The total amount of shares of common stock which may be sold pursuant to this prospectus would constitute approximately 25% of our issued and outstanding common stock as of July 19, 2012.  

 

Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, fifteen trading days after the date of this prospectus, we have the obligation to sell to Ironridge, and Ironridge must purchase from us, up to $10,000,000 of shares of our common stock over a 24-month period.  We will do continuous drawdowns of 2,000,000 shares under the Stock Purchase Agreement unless we send a notice suspending the draw downs.   The draw down pricing period is the number of consecutive trading days necessary for 6,000,000 shares of our common stock to trade, provided that for the first draw down, the draw down pricing period is the 15 day trading period after the date of this prospectus.  Only one draw down will be allowed in each draw down pricing period.  


The price per share during a draw down pricing period will be equal to 90% of the average of the daily volume-weighted average price, or VWAP, on each trading day during the prior draw down pricing period, not to exceed the average of any three daily VWAPs during the prior draw down pricing period. For purposes of the first draw down, the price per share will be equal to the VWAP for the 15 consecutive trading days after the date of this prospectus.  For purposes of a recommencement of drawdowns following a suspension of drawdowns, the purchase price per share will be equal to the lower of the foregoing and the closing price of our common stock on the trading day before the recommencement date.  


The number of shares Ironridge is able to beneficially own at any given time is limited to 9.99% of our total common stock then outstanding.   The Stock Purchase Agreement also provides for a commitment fee to Ironridge of 3,000,000 shares of our common stock, or the Commitment Fee Shares.


We have been advised by Ironridge that the resale of any shares will be made by means of ordinary brokers’ transactions on the principal trading exchange or market for our common stock at the time or otherwise at market prices prevailing at the time of sale or at prices related to the prevailing market prices. For additional information on the possible methods of sale that may be used by Ironridge, you should refer to the section entitled “Plan of Distribution” beginning on page 51 of this prospectus. We will not receive any proceeds from the resale of these shares by Ironridge. However, we will receive proceeds from the initial sale of drawdown shares to Ironridge. We will have and continue to bear the costs relating to the registration of these shares.


Ironridge is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in connection with the resale of our common stock acquired under the Stock Purchase Agreement.


Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol “PSID.OB.” On July 26, 2012, the closing sale price of our common stock was $0.02 per share.


INVESTING IN OUR COMMON STOCK INVOLVES RISKS. YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE RISK FACTORS BEGINNING ON PAGE 5 OF THIS PROSPECTUS BEFORE INVESTING IN OUR COMMON STOCK.


NEITHER THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION NOR ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION HAS APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED OF THESE SECURITIES OR PASSED UPON THE ADEQUACY OR ACCURACY OF THIS PROSPECTUS. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.


The date of this prospectus is _____________, 2012.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

The following is a brief summary of certain information contained elsewhere in this prospectus. This summary is not intended to be a complete description of the matters covered in this prospectus and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the more detailed information contained in this prospectus. You are urged to read this prospectus in its entirety, including the financial statements and related notes and the “Risk Factors” section. Unless the context requires otherwise, “we,” “us,” “our,” “PositiveID” and the “Company” and similar terms collectively refer to PositiveID Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.  

Our Business

Overview

We have historically developed, marketed and sold radio frequency identification, referred to as RFID, systems used for the identification of people in the healthcare market.  Beginning in early 2011, we have focused our strategy on the growth of our HealthID segment, including the continued development of GlucoChip, our Easy Check breath glucose detection device, our iglucose wireless communication system, and potential strategic acquisition opportunities of businesses that are complementary to our HealthID business.

In May 2011 and consistent with this strategy, we acquired MicroFluidic Systems, or MicroFluidic, pursuant to which MicroFluidic became our wholly-owned subsidiary.  MicroFluidic specializes in the production of automated instruments for a wide range of applications in the detection and processing of biological samples, ranging from rapid medical testing to airborne pathogen detection for homeland security. MicroFluidic’s substantial portfolio of intellectual property related to sample preparation and rapid medical testing applications are complementary to our portfolio of virus detection and diabetes management products. Since its inception, MicroFluidic has received over $45 million in U.S. Government contracts, primarily from the Department of Homeland Security, or DHS. Since our acquisition of MicroFluidic, we have submitted, and are in the process of submitting, bids on various potential U.S. Government contracts, and are planning to pursue the DHS’s third generation BioWatch program (for the development of networked, autonomous, bioagent detection systems).  DHS has estimated the first contract period to be five years and has projected the request for proposal for this program will be issued during the third quarter of 2012.  

HealthID Segment

Our HealthID segment is currently focused on the development and commercialization of three products: (1) the GlucoChip, a glucose-sensing microchip, based on our proprietary intellectual property which is being developed in conjunction with Receptors LLC, or Receptors, (2) iglucose, a stand-alone, self-contained unit that automatically queries a diabetic user’s data-capable glucometer for blood glucose data and sends that data via machine-to-machine technology to the iglucose online database, and (3) Easy Check, a non-invasive breath glucose detection system, based on the correlation of acetone in exhaled breath to blood glucose levels.

In July 2011, we submitted a 510(k) pre-market notification application for our iglucose wireless communication system to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA. In November 2011, we obtained FDA clearance for iglucose. In the first quarter of 2012, we launched initial deployments of iglucose through trial programs with a leading health insurer and two other healthcare companies and began taking pre-orders for iglucose from consumers. We are currently evaluating strategic alternatives with respect to iglucose, including the possible sale or license of the technology.

Through the end of 2011, our HealthID segment also included the VeriMed system, which uses an implantable passive RFID microchip, or the VeriChip, that is used in patient identification applications. Each implantable microchip contains a unique verification number that is read when it is scanned by our scanner. In October 2004, the FDA cleared our VeriMed system for use in medical applications in the United States. We had not actively marketed the VeriMed system since early 2008.

On January 11, 2012, we contributed certain assets and liabilities related to the VeriChip business, as well as all of the assets and liabilities relating to our Health Link business, which is a patient-controlled, online repository to store personal health information, to our wholly-owned subsidiary, PositiveID Animal Health Corporation, or Animal Health.  We ceased actively marketing the VeriChip business in January 2008 and the Health Link business in September 2010.  The term “VeriChip business” does not include the GlucoChip or any product or application involving blood glucose detection or diabetes management.  

On January 11, 2012, VeriTeQ Acquisition Corporation, or VeriTeQ, which is owned and controlled by Scott R. Silverman, our former chairman and chief executive officer, purchased all of the outstanding capital stock of Animal Health in exchange for a secured promissory note in the amount of $200,000 and 4 million shares of common stock of VeriTeQ representing a 10% ownership interest, to which no value was ascribed.  In connection with the sale, we entered into a license agreement with VeriTeQ dated January 11, 2012, or the License Agreement, which grants VeriTeQ a license to utilize our bio-sensor implantable RFID device that is protected under United States Patent No. 7,125,382, “Embedded Bio Sensor System” for the purpose of designing and constructing, using, selling and offering to sell products or services related to the VeriChip business, but excluding the GlucoChip, or any product or application involving blood glucose detection or diabetes management.  We will receive royalties in the amount of 10% on all gross revenues arising out of or relating to VeriTeQ’s sale of products, whether by license or otherwise, specifically relating to the patent,


1




and a royalty of 20% on gross revenues that are generated under the Development and Supply Agreement between us and Medical Components, Inc., or Medcomp, dated April 2, 2009. Our right to the Medcomp royalty payments will terminate three years following written clearance by the FDA of the Medcomp product that incorporates the VeriChip product. We have not recorded the promissory note received from VeriTeQ in our balance sheet and currently plan to recognize the $200,000 gain represented by the note as the note is collected.

We also entered into a shared services agreement with VeriTeQ on January 11, 2012, or the Shared Services Agreement, which requires that we provide certain services to VeriTeQ in exchange for $30,000 per month.  The term of the Shared Services Agreement commenced on January 23, 2012. The first payment for such services is not payable until VeriTeQ receives gross proceeds of a financing of at least $500,000.

On June 25, 2012, the Shared Services Agreement was amended, pursuant to which all amounts owed to us under the Shared Services Agreement as of May 31, 2012, totaling approximately $160,000, were converted into 2,285,779 shares of common stock of VeriTeQ, to which no value was ascribed. In addition, effective June 1, 2012, the monthly charge for the shared services under the Shared Services Agreement was reduced from $30,000 to $12,000. Furthermore, on June 26, 2012, the License Agreement was amended pursuant to which the license was converted from a non-exclusive license to an exclusive license, subject to VeriTeQ meeting certain minimum royalty requirements as follows: 2013 - $400,000; 2014 - $800,000; and 2015 and thereafter - $1,600,000.

ID Security Segment

Our ID Security segment included our Identity Security suite of products, sold through the NationalCreditReport.com brand and our Health Link personal health record, or PHR, business. We acquired the NationalCreditReport.com business in conjunction with the acquisition of Steel Vault Corporation, or Steel Vault, in November 2009. NationalCreditReport.com offered consumers a variety of identity security products and services primarily on a subscription basis. These services helped consumers protect themselves against identity theft or fraud and understand and monitor their credit profiles and other personal information, which included credit reports, credit monitoring and credit scores. Beginning in early 2011, we ceased acquiring new subscribers to the identity security and credit reporting businesses, and on July 22, 2011, we completed the sale of the identity security and credit reporting business for total consideration of $750,000.  

As a result of our sale of the NationalCreditReport.com business in July 2011, we now operate in one segment and are not currently generating revenue.

Recent Developments

On May 31, 2012, our stockholders approved an increase in the number of authorized shares of our common stock from 175 million shares to 470 million shares.

On July 9, 2012, we issued a Secured Promissory Note (the “Note”) in the principal amount of $849,510 to Holland & Knight LLP (“Holland & Knight”), our external legal counsel, in support of amounts due and owing to Holland & Knight as of June 30, 2012. The Note is non-interest bearing, and principal on the Note is due and payable as soon as practicably possible by us. We have agreed to remit payment against the Note immediately upon each occurrence of any of the following events: (a) completion of an acquisition or disposition of any of our assets or stock or any of our subsidiaries’ assets or stock with gross proceeds in excess of $750,000, (b) completion of any financing with gross proceeds in excess of $1,500,000, (c) receipt of any revenue in excess of $750,000 from the licensing or development of any of our or our subsidiaries’ products, or (d) any liquidation or reorganization of our assets or liabilities. The amount of payment to be remitted by us shall equal one-third of the gross proceeds received by us upon each occurrence of any of the above events, until the principal is repaid in full. If we receive $3,000,000 in gross proceeds in any one financing or licensing arrangement, the entire Principal balance shall be paid in full.

The Note is secured by substantially all of our assets pursuant to a Security Agreement between us and Holland & Knight dated July 9, 2012.

On July 12, 2012, we entered into the Stock Purchase Agreement with Ironridge, which provides that 15 trading days after the date of this prospectus we have the obligation to sell to Ironridge, and Ironridge must purchase from us, up to $10,000,000 of shares of our common stock over a 24-month period. We will do continuous drawdowns of 2,000,000 shares under the Stock Purchase Agreement unless we send a notice suspending the drawdowns. The drawdown pricing period is the number of consecutive trading days necessary for 6,000,000 shares of our common stock to trade, provided that for the first drawdown, the drawdown pricing period is the 15 day trading period after the date of this prospectus. Only one draw down will be allowed in each draw down pricing period.  


2




The price per share will be equal to 90% of the average of the daily VWAP, on each trading day during the prior draw down pricing period, not to exceed the average of any three daily VWAPs during the prior draw down pricing period. The price paid per share under each put will be, in effect, the average of the three lowest daily VWAPs during the prior pricing period. To the extent Ironridge purchases and then sells its common stock under the Stock Purchase Agreement, the common stock price may decrease due to the additional shares in the market. This could allow Ironridge to receive greater amounts of common stock in subsequent puts by us, the sales of which could further dilute the interests of other stockholders. For purposes of a recommencement of drawdowns following a suspension of drawdowns, the purchase price per share will be equal to the lower of the foregoing and the closing price of our common stock on the trading day prior to the recommencement date.  For purposes of the first draw down, the price per share will be equal to the VWAP for the 15 consecutive trading days after the date of this prospectus.

Ironridge will also receive a commitment fee of 3,000,000 shares of our common stock issuable upon the date of this prospectus.

The terms of the equity line require us to continuously put shares to Ironridge if all conditions are met unless we suspend the puts. Suspension of a put does not preclude us from executing a put option in periods that follow.

We will deliver the shares sold to Ironridge by the third trading day following the applicable drawdown pricing period.  Ironridge is entitled to liquidated damages in connection with certain delays in the delivery of any drawdown shares.  

No sale of shares may be made under the Stock Purchase Agreement if Ironridge would beneficially own more than 9.99% of our outstanding shares.  The customary terms and conditions associated with Ironridge’s registration rights are set forth in a Registration Rights Agreement that was also entered into by us and Ironridge on July 12, 2012.

On July 12, 2012, we entered into a Purchase Agreement with Ironridge pursuant to which we issued 500 shares of Series F Preferred Stock to Ironridge. The Series F Preferred Stock was issued in satisfaction of any obligation of us to issue the Success Fee Shares provided for in the Securities Purchase Agreement entered into between us and Ironridge dated January 13, 2012, which terminated on April 26, 2012.

RISK FACTORS


An investment in securities involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the following risks described below together with all of the other information in this prospectus, including our consolidated financial statements and the related notes, before making a decision to invest in our securities. The following risks and the risks described elsewhere in this prospectus, including the section entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” could materially affect our business, prospects, financial condition, operating results and cash flows. If any these risks materialize, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment. See also the information contained under the heading “Information Regarding Forward Looking Statements” immediately below.


Risks Related to the Operations and Business of PositiveID


We have a history of losses and expect to incur additional losses in the future. We are unable to predict the extent of future losses or when we will become profitable.

 

For the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2011 and the three months ended March 31, 2012, we experienced net losses of $15.9 million, $16.5 million, and $2.3 million, respectively, and our accumulated deficit at March 31, 2012 was $90 million. We reported no revenue or gross profit from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2011 or the three months ended March 31, 2012. Until one or more of the products under development in our HealthID business is successfully brought to market, we do not anticipate generating significant revenue or gross profit. Further, MicroFluidic reported no revenue or gross profit during the period from the date of acquisition of May 23, 2011 through December 31, 2011 or the three months ended March 31, 2012 as it had no active contracts during these periods. MicroFluidic has submitted, or is the process of submitting, bids on various potential new U.S. Government contracts; however, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining any such new or other contracts.


We expect to continue to incur operating losses for the near future. Our ability in the future to achieve or sustain profitability is based on a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control. Even if we achieve profitability in the future, we may not be able to sustain profitability in subsequent periods.

 

Our financial statements indicate conditions exist that raise substantial doubt as to whether we will continue as a going concern.


Our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011 indicate conditions exist that raise substantial doubt as to whether we will continue as a going concern. Our continuation as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to obtain financing to fund the continued development of our HealthID products, the operations of MicroFluidic, and working capital requirements. If we cannot continue as a going concern, our stockholders may lose their entire investment.


We may experience difficulties in integrating MicroFluidic's business and realizing the expected benefits of the acquisition of MicroFluidic.

 

Our ability to achieve the benefits we anticipate from the acquisition of MicroFluidic will depend in large part upon whether we are able to integrate MicroFluidic's business into our business in an efficient and effective manner. Because our business and the business of MicroFluidic differ, we may not be able to integrate MicroFluidic's business smoothly or successfully and the process may take longer than expected. The integration of certain operations and the differences in operational culture may require the dedication of significant management resources, which may distract management's attention from day-to-day business operations. If we are unable to successfully integrate the operations of MicroFluidic's business into our business, we may be unable to realize the revenue growth, synergies and other anticipated benefits we expect to achieve as a result of the acquisition of MicroFluidic and our business and results of operations could be adversely affected.

 

MicroFluidic's government contracts and subcontracts are generally subject to a competitive bidding process that may affect our ability to win contract awards or renewals in the future.

 

MicroFluidic has submitted, or is in the process of submitting, bids on various potential U.S. Government contracts. We bid on government contracts through a formal competitive process in which we may have many competitors. If awarded, upon expiration, these contracts may be subject, once again, to a competitive renewal process if applicable. We may not be successful in winning contract awards or renewals in the future. Our failure to renew or replace existing contracts when they expire could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations.

  

Contracts and subcontracts with U.S. government agencies that we may be awarded will be subject to competition and will be awarded on the basis of technical merit, personnel qualifications, experience, and price. Our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be materially affected to the extent that U.S. government agencies believe our competitors offer a more attractive combination of the foregoing factors. In addition, government demand and payment for our products may be affected by public sector budgetary cycles and funding authorizations, with funding reductions or delays adversely affecting demand for our products.


5




Compliance with changing regulations concerning corporate governance and public disclosure may result in additional expenses.


There have been changing laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and new regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC. These new or changed laws, regulations and standards are subject to varying interpretations in many cases due to their lack of specificity, and, as a result, their application in practice may evolve over time as new guidance is provided by regulatory and governing bodies, which could result in continuing uncertainty regarding compliance matters and higher costs necessitated by ongoing revisions to disclosure and governance practices. As a result, our efforts to comply with evolving laws, regulations and standards are likely to continue to result in increased general and administrative expenses and a diversion of management time and attention from revenue-generating activities to compliance activities. Our board members and executive officers could face an increased risk of personal liability in connection with the performance of their duties. As a result, we may have difficulty attracting and retaining qualified board members and executive officers, which could harm our business. If our efforts to comply with new or changed laws, regulations and standards differ from the activities intended by regulatory or governing bodies, we could be subject to liability under applicable laws or our reputation may be harmed.


We depend on key personnel to manage our business effectively, and, if we are unable to hire, retain or motivate qualified personnel, our ability to design, develop, market and sell our systems could be harmed.


Our future success depends, in part, on certain key employees, including William J. Caragol, our chairman of the Board of Directors and chief executive officer, as well as key technical and operations personnel, and on our ability to attract and retain highly skilled personnel. The loss of the services of any of our key personnel may seriously harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the inability to attract or retain qualified personnel, or delays in hiring required personnel, particularly operations, finance, accounting, sales and marketing personnel, may also seriously harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. Our ability to attract and retain highly skilled personnel will be a critical factor in determining whether we will be successful in the future.


We will continue to incur the expenses of complying with public company reporting requirements.


We have an obligation to continue to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, or the Exchange Act, which includes the filing with the SEC of periodic reports, proxy statements and other documents relating to our business, financial conditions and other matters, even though compliance with such reporting requirements is economically burdensome.


Directors, executive officers, principal stockholders and affiliated entities own a significant percentage of our capital stock, and they may make decisions that you do not consider to be in the best interests of our stockholders.


As of July 19, 2012, our current directors and executive officers beneficially owned, in the aggregate, approximately 4.3% of our outstanding voting securities and our former chairman of the Board of Directors beneficially owns approximately 19.6% of our outstanding voting securities as of July 19, 2012. In addition, we are required to issue 5,000,000 shares of restricted common stock to our chief executive officer and current chairman of the Board of Directors pursuant to his amended employment and non-compete agreement dated December 7, 2011. As a result, if some or all of them acted together, they would have the ability to exert substantial influence over the election of the Board of Directors and the outcome of issues requiring approval by our stockholders. This concentration of ownership may also have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of PositiveID that may be favored by other stockholders. This could prevent transactions in which stockholders might otherwise recover a premium for their shares over current market prices.


Risks Related to Our Product Development Efforts


We and our development partner Receptors are in the early stages of developing an in vivo glucose-sensing RFID microchip, the effectiveness of which is unproven.


We and our development partner, Receptors, are engaged in the research and development of applying Receptors’ patented AFFINITY by DESIGNTM CARATM platform to the research and development of an in vivo glucose-sensing RFID microchip. The effectiveness of this sensor/microchip system is yet to be determined. As a result, there can be no assurance that we and Receptors will be able to successfully employ this development-stage product as a diagnostic solution for the detection of glucose in vivo. Any failure to establish the efficacy or safety of this development-stage product could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.


Our product research and development activities may not result in a commercially-viable in vivo glucose-sensing RFID microchip or Easy Check breath glucose detection system.


6




Our in vivo glucose-sensing RFID microchip and Easy Check breath glucose detection system are in the early stages of development, and are therefore prone to the risks of failure inherent in diagnostic product development. We or Receptors may be required to complete and undertake significant clinical trials to demonstrate to the FDA that these products are safe and effective to the satisfaction of the FDA and other non-United States regulatory authorities for their respective, intended uses, or are substantially equivalent in terms of safety and effectiveness to existing, lawfully-marketed, non-premarket approved devices. Clinical trials are expensive and uncertain processes that often take years to complete. Failure can occur at any stage of the process, and successful early positive results do not ensure that the entire clinical trial or later clinical trials will be successful. Product candidates in clinical-stage trials may fail to show desired efficacy and safety traits despite early promising results. If the research and development activities of us or Receptors do not result in commercially-viable products, our business, results of operations, financial condition, and stock price could be adversely affected.   

 

Even if the FDA or similar non-United States regulatory authorities grant us regulatory approval of a product, the approval may take longer than we anticipate and may be subject to limitations on the indicated uses for which the product may be marketed or contain requirements for costly post-marketing follow up studies. Moreover, if we fail to comply with applicable regulatory requirements, we may be subject to fines, suspension or withdrawal of regulatory approvals, product recalls, seizure of products, operating restrictions and criminal prosecution.

 

We anticipate future losses and will require additional financing, and our failure to obtain additional financing when needed could force us to delay, reduce or eliminate our product development programs or commercialization efforts.

 

We anticipate future losses and therefore may be dependent on additional financing to execute our business plan. In particular, we will require additional capital to continue to conduct the research and development and obtain regulatory clearances and approvals necessary to bring any future products to market and to establish effective marketing and sales capabilities for existing and future products. Our operating plan may change, and we may need additional funds sooner than anticipated to meet our operational needs and capital requirements for product development, clinical trials and commercialization. Additional funds may not be available when we need them on terms that are acceptable to us, or at all. If adequate funds are not available on a timely basis, we may terminate or delay the development of one or more of our products, or delay establishment of sales and marketing capabilities or other activities necessary to commercialize our products. Therefore, we do not know whether any planned development phases or clinical trials for the in vivo glucose-sensing RFID microchip or the Easy Check breath glucose detection system will be completed on schedule, or at all. Furthermore, we cannot guarantee that any planned development phases or clinical trials will begin on time or at all.

 

Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including: the costs of expanding our sales and marketing infrastructure and manufacturing operations; the degree of success we experience in developing and commercializing the in vivo glucose-sensing RFID microchip, the Easy Check breath glucose detection system, and the iglucose wireless communication device; the number and types of future products we develop and commercialize; the costs, timing and outcomes of regulatory reviews associated with our current and future product candidates; the costs of preparing, filing and prosecuting patent applications and maintaining, enforcing and defending intellectual property-related claims; and the extent and scope of our general and administrative expenses.

 

Our future product development efforts may not yield marketable products due to results of studies or trials, failure to achieve regulatory approvals or market acceptance, proprietary rights of others or manufacturing issues.

 

Development of a product candidate requires substantial technical, financial and human resources. Our potential product candidates may appear to be promising at various stages of development yet fail to timely reach the market for a number of reasons, including: the lack of adequate quality or sufficient prevention benefit, or unacceptable safety during preclinical studies or clinical trials; our or our collaborative development partners’ failure to receive necessary regulatory approvals on a timely basis, or at all; the existence of proprietary rights of third parties; or the inability to develop manufacturing methods that are efficient, cost-effective and capable of meeting stringent regulatory standards.

 

Our industry changes rapidly as a result of technological and product developments, which may quickly render our product candidates less desirable or even obsolete. If we are unable or unsuccessful in supplementing our product offerings, our revenue and operating results may be materially adversely affected.

 

The industry in which we operate is subject to rapid technological change. The introduction of new technologies in the market, including the delay in the adoption of these technologies, as well as new alternatives for the delivery of products and services will continue to have a profound effect on competitive conditions in this market. We may not be able to develop and introduce new products, services and enhancements that respond to technological changes on a timely basis. If our product candidates are not accepted by the market as anticipated, if at all, our business, operating results, and financial condition may be materially and adversely affected.


7




If we or Receptors are unable to develop and later market the products under development in a timely manner or at all, or if competitors develop or introduce similar products that achieve commercialization before our products enter the market, the demand for our products may decrease or the products could become obsolete.

 

Our products will operate in competitive markets, where competitors may already be well established. We expect that competitors will continue to innovate and to develop and introduce similar products that could be competitive in both price and performance. Competitors may succeed in developing or introducing similar products earlier than us or Receptors, obtaining regulatory approvals and clearances for such products before our products are approved and cleared, or developing more effective products. In addition, competitors may have products that have already been approved or are in a stage of advanced development, which may achieve commercialization before our products enter the market.

 

If a competitor’s products reach the market before our products, they may gain a competitive advantage, impair the ability of us or Receptors to commercialize the products, or render the products obsolete. There can be no assurance that developments by competitors will not render our products obsolete or noncompetitive. Our financial performance may be negatively impacted if a competitor’s successful product innovation reaches the market before our products or gains broader market acceptance.

 

We believe that our products have certain technological advantages, but maintaining these advantages will require continual investment in research and development, and later in sales and marketing. There is no guarantee that we or Receptors will be successful in maintaining these advantages. Nor is there any guarantee that we or Receptors will be successful in completing development of our products in any clinical trials or in achieving sales of our products, or that future margins on such products will be acceptable.

  

Risks Occasioned by the Xmark Transaction

 


We may be liable for pre-closing period tax obligations of Xmark.


In January 2010, Stanley Canada Corporation, or Stanley, who purchased Xmark from us, received a notice from the Canadian Revenue Agency, or the CRA, that the CRA would be performing a review of Xmark’s Canadian tax returns for the periods 2005 through 2008. This review covers all periods that we owned Xmark. In February 2011, and as revised on November 9, 2011, Stanley received a notice from the CRA that the CRA completed its review of the Xmark returns and was questioning certain deductions on the tax returns under review. In November and December 2011, the CRA and the Ministry of Revenue of the Province of Ontario issued notices of reassessment confirming the proposed adjustments. The total amount of the income tax reassessments for the 2006-2008 tax years, including both provincial and federal reassessments, plus interest, was approximately $1.4 million. On January 20, 2012, we received an indemnification claim notice from Stanley related to the matter. We do not agree with the position taken by the CRA and filed a formal appeal related to the matter on March 8, 2012. In addition, on March 28, 2012 Stanley received assessments for withholding taxes on deemed dividend payments in respect of the disallowed management fees totaling approximately $0.2 million, for which we filed a formal appeal on June 7, 2012. Based on our review of the correspondence and evaluation of the supporting detail, we believe that we have adequately accrued for this dispute. However, there can be no assurance that the ultimate resolution of this dispute will not have a material negative impact on our historical tax liabilities or results of operations.


Industry and Business Risks Related to Our HealthID Business

 

We may never achieve market acceptance or significant sales of our healthcare products or systems.

 

Through March 31, 2012, substantially all of our HealthID products were under development and had generated only nominal revenue. We may never achieve market acceptance or more than nominal or modest sales of these products and systems.

 

We are currently focused on the development of the glucose sensing microchip and the development of other sensor applications, and our Easy Check system and are considering and will review other strategic opportunities. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully develop or implement such options or strategic alternatives.


Implantation of our implantable microchip may be found to cause risks to a person’s health, which could adversely affect sales of our systems that incorporate the implantable microchip.

 

The implantation of our implantable microchip may be found, or be perceived, to cause risks to a person’s health. Potential or perceived risks include adverse tissue reactions, migration of the microchip and infection from implantation. There have been articles published asserting, despite numerous studies to the contrary, that the implanted microchip causes malignant tumor formation in laboratory animals. If more people are implanted with our implantable microchip, it is possible that these and other risks to health will manifest themselves. Actual or perceived risks to a person’s health associated with the microchip implantation process could result in negative publicity could damage our business reputation, leading to loss in sales of our other systems targeted at the healthcare market which would harm our business and negatively affect our prospects.


8




In connection with its acquisition of our VeriChip business, VeriTeQ agreed to indemnify us for any liabilities relating to our implantable microchip. If VeriTeQ is unable to fulfill indemnity obligations, we would be responsible for payment of such liabilities, which could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition.


Risks Related to Our Securities


We failed to meet applicable Nasdaq Stock Market requirements and as a result our common stock was delisted by the Nasdaq Stock Market, which could adversely affect the market liquidity of our common stock and harm our businesses.


We were out of compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum bid price requirement since the second half of 2010.  As of June 30, 2011, we did not meet the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. On August 11, 2011, we were granted a temporary extension of time, as permitted under Nasdaq's Listing Rules, to comply with the $1.00 per share minimum bid price requirement for continued listing, which is typically accomplished by means of a reverse stock split. On August 26, 2011, we received the requisite favorable vote of our stockholders with respect to the proposal to authorize our Board of Directors, in its discretion, to amend our certificate of incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of our common stock; however, for various reasons, the Board of Directors decided to not effect a reverse stock split.


On August 31, 2011, we received notification that our stock was being delisted from The Nasdaq Capital Market in connection with a bid price deficiency. On September 1, 2011, our common stock began trading on the OTC Bulletin Board under the trading symbol PSID.OB. We continue to file periodic reports with the SEC in accordance with the requirements of Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act, as amended.

 

Our delisting from Nasdaq could adversely affect the market liquidity of our common stock and harm our business and may hinder or delay our ability to consummate potential strategic transactions or investments. Such delisting could also adversely affect our ability to obtain financing for the continuation of our operations and could result in the loss of confidence by investors, suppliers and employees.


The success and timing of development efforts, clinical trials, regulatory approvals, product introductions, collaboration and licensing arrangements, any termination of development efforts and other material events could cause volatility in our stock price.


Since our common stock is thinly traded, its trading price is likely to be highly volatile and could be subject to extreme fluctuations in response to various factors, many of which are beyond our control, including (but not necessarily limited to):


·

success or lack of success of the development partnership between us and Receptors and related development costs;

·

success or lack of success and timing of regulatory filings and approvals for the in vivo glucose-sensing RFID microchip, the Easy Check breath glucose detection system, and the iglucose wireless communication device;

·

success or lack of success and timing of commercialization and product introductions of the in vivo glucose-sensing RFID microchip, the Easy Check breath glucose detection system, and the iglucose wireless communication device;

·

introduction of competitive products into the market;

·

results of clinical trials for the in vivo glucose-sensing RFID microchip and the Easy Check breath glucose detection system;

·

a finding that Receptors’ patented AFFINITY by DESIGNTM CARATM platform, or patents related to the Easy Check breath glucose detection system or the iglucose wireless communication device are invalid or unenforceable;

·

a finding that the in vivo glucose-sensing RFID microchip, the Easy Check breath glucose detection system, and the iglucose wireless communication device infringes the patents of a third party;

·

our ability to obtain patents on the Easy Check breath glucose detection system and the iglucose wireless communication device;

·

payment of any royalty payments under licensing agreements;

·

unfavorable publicity regarding us, Receptors, or either of the companies’ products or competitive products;

·

termination of development efforts for the in vivo glucose-sensing RFID microchip or the Easy Check breath glucose detection system; timing of expenses we may incur with respect to any license or acquisition of products or technologies; and

·

termination of development efforts of any product under development or any development or collaboration agreement.

 

In addition, the securities markets have from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also significantly affect the market price of our common stock.

Future sales of capital stock may cause our stock price to fall, including sales of shares to Ironridge pursuant to previous financing agreements with Ironridge and the resale of such shares by Ironridge.

 

The market price of our common stock could decline as a result of sales by our existing stockholders of shares of common stock in the market, or the perception that these sales could occur. These sales might also make it more difficult for us to sell equity securities at a time and price that we deem appropriate. As of July 19, 2012, we had 135,346,089 shares of common stock outstanding and we had warrants to purchase 304,000 shares of common stock and options to purchase 10,563,992 shares of common stock outstanding. All of the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of our outstanding warrants and any vested options will be freely tradable without restriction under the federal securities laws unless sold by our affiliates. In addition, we are required to issue 5,000,000 shares of restricted common stock issuable to our chief executive officer and current chairman of the Board of Directors pursuant to his amended employment and non-compete agreement dated December 7, 2011. In addition, as discussed below, sales of shares underlying the Notes and Warrants may further depress the price of our stock.

 

On July 28, 2011, we sold 6,811,989 shares of our common stock to Ironridge Global Technology, an affiliate of Ironridge, under the common stock purchase agreement between us and Ironridge Global Technology dated July 27, 2011. We also sold to Ironridge Global III, LLC, an affiliate of Ironridge, or Ironridge Global, 1,500 shares of our Series F Preferred Stock under the preferred stock purchase agreement between us and Ironridge Global dated July 27, 2011, of which 974 shares have been converted into a total of 34,704,193 shares of our common stock and 526 shares are outstanding. These shares of common stock are freely tradable under Rule 144. On July 12, 2012, we issued an additional 500 shares of Series F Preferred Stock to Ironridge under the purchase agreement between us and Ironridge Global dated July 12, 2012. On January 13, 2012, we sold 500 shares of our Series H Preferred Stock to Ironridge pursuant to the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement, of which 341 shares have been converted into a total of 3,803,667 shares of our common stock and 159 shares are outstanding. These shares of common stock were freely tradable under a “shelf” registration statement (File Nos. 333-165849 and 333-166359). The additional shares of common stock Ironridge Global and Ironridge may receive under these agreements may be freely tradable under Rule 144 or future registration statements filed by us and they may promptly sell the shares we issue to them in the public markets. Such sales, and the potential for such sales, could cause the market price of our shares to decline significantly.

We do not anticipate declaring any cash dividends on our common stock.

 

In July 2008 we declared, and in August 2008 we paid, a special cash dividend of $15.8 million on our capital stock. Any future determination with respect to the payment of dividends will be at the discretion of the Board of Directors and will be dependent upon our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, general business conditions, terms of financing arrangements and other factors that our Board of Directors may deem relevant. In addition, our Certificates of Designation for shares of Series C, Series F and Series H Preferred Stock prohibit the payment of cash dividends on our common stock while any such shares of preferred stock are outstanding.

 

Our shares may be defined as "penny stock," the rules imposed on the sale of the shares may affect your ability to resell any shares you may purchase, if at all.


Shares of our common stock may be defined as a “penny stock” under the Exchange Act, and rules of the SEC.  The Exchange Act and such penny stock rules generally impose additional sales practice and disclosure requirements on broker-dealers who sell our securities to persons other than certain accredited investors who are, generally, institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000, or $300,000 jointly with spouse, or in transactions not recommended by the broker-dealer.  For transactions covered by the penny stock rules, a broker-dealer must make a suitability determination for each purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement prior to the sale. In addition, the broker-dealer must make certain mandated disclosures in penny stock transactions, including the actual sale or purchase price and actual bid and offer quotations, the compensation to be received by the broker-dealer and certain associated persons, and deliver certain disclosures required by the SEC. Consequently, the penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to make a market in or trade our common stock and may also affect your ability to resell any shares you may purchase in this offering in the public markets.


Our financing transactions with Optimus may be deemed to be in violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act, and as a result security holders that purchased shares from Optimus may have the right to rescind their purchase of such securities.


Under the terms of the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreements with Optimus, we were able to sell convertible preferred shares, from time to time in one or more tranches, to Optimus.  We believe the sale of the convertible preferred stock to Optimus was made in compliance with Rule 506 of Regulation D.  From time to time and at our sole discretion, we could present Optimus with a notice to purchase such convertible preferred shares. Optimus was obligated to purchase such convertible preferred shares on the twentieth trading day after the notice date, subject to satisfaction of certain closing conditions.  R & R Consulting Partners, LLC, a company controlled by Scott R. Silverman, our former chairman and chief executive officer, Mr. Silverman, and William J. Caragol, our then chief financial officer, loaned shares of common stock they personally owned to Optimus.  We were advised by Optimus that Optimus would then sell the borrowed shares into the market and use the proceeds from the sale of such shares to fund the purchase of the preferred stock under the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreements. On or after the six month anniversary of the issuance date, the preferred stock could be converted by us into shares of our common stock and the lending stockholders could simultaneously demand return of the borrowed shares from Optimus.  Optimus was able to use the shares it received upon conversion of the convertible preferred shares to replace the borrowed shares.  


10



If the resale of the borrowed shares by Optimus is not deemed to be a valid secondary offering by Optimus, and is deemed to be an unregistered offering by us with Optimus acting as an underwriter in violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, stockholders who purchased these securities would have a number of remedies available to them, including the right to rescind the purchase of those securities.


We do not believe that the Optimus transaction violated Section 5 since the transaction consisting of the loan of the shares was registered on the Registration Statements on Form S-3 (File No. 333-157696) and (File No. 333-168085), or the Registration Statements, initially filed with the SEC on March 4, 2009 and July 13, 2010, respectively, and declared effective by the SEC on March 12, 2009 and July 22, 2010, respectively.  The lending stockholders loaned the borrowed shares to Optimus.  Then, Optimus was added as a new selling stockholder to the Registration Statements by prospectus supplements under Rule 424(b) of the Securities Act dated September 29, 2009 and March 14, 2011, respectively.  


Since Optimus acquired the shares from the lending stockholders, who were previously named in the Registration Statements, and there was no change in the aggregate number of securities or dollar amount registered, we believe Optimus was properly added as a selling stockholder.  As a result, we believe that the resale of the borrowed shares by Optimus was properly registered and was not a violation of Section 5.  


Additionally, we believe that the statute of limitations period applicable to potential claims for rescission under the Securities Act is one year commencing on the date of violation of the federal registration requirements. We believe that the one year federal statute of limitations on sales of shares of our common stock has expired for sales made under the 2009 Optimus transaction, and we believe the federal statute of limitations on sales of shares of common stock will expire in 2012 for sales made under the March 2011 Optimus transaction. Statutes of limitations under state laws vary by state, with the limitation time period under many state statutes not typically beginning until the facts giving rise to a violation are known. Our disclosure in this prospectus is not an admission that we did not comply with any federal and state registration or disclosure requirements nor is it a waiver by us of any applicable statute of limitations or any potential defense we may have.  If we are required to pay security holders who could opt to rescind their purchase of such securities, it would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. We are not presently able to accurately determine an estimated amount for any potential rescission liability associated with the resale of the loaned shares by Optimus in the event that the transaction were to be found to violate Section 5 of the Securities Act as it does not have knowledge of the amount and timing of such resales, nor information regarding the state or states in which such resales may have occurred.  We know that Optimus sold all of the 6,200,000 loaned shares it received.  We believe that the range of prices at which Optimus sold the loaned shares was between $0.50-$3.22 per share related to the 2009 Optimus transactions and between $0.11-$0.63 per share related to the 2011 Optimus transaction. No adjustment has been made in our consolidated financial statements related to the outcome of this contingency.


Risks Related to this Offering


We are registering an aggregate of 34,000,000 shares of common stock to be issued under the Stock Purchase Agreement. The sale of such shares could depress the market price of our common stock.


We are registering an aggregate of 34,000,000 shares of common stock under this registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part for issuance pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement. The sale of these shares into the public market by Ironridge could depress the market price for our common stock.


Future sales of our common stock may depress the market price of our common stock and cause stockholders to experience dilution.


The market price of our common stock could decline as a result of sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market, including shares issued to Ironridge in this offering and upon conversion of the Series F Preferred Stock and Series H Preferred Stock. We may seek additional capital through one or more additional equity transactions in 2012; however, such transactions will be subject to market conditions and there can be no assurance any such transaction will be completed.

You will experience dilution in the book value per share of the common stock you purchase.


Because the price per share of our common stock being offered is substantially higher than the book value per share of our common stock, you will suffer substantial dilution in the net tangible book value of the common stock you purchase in this offering. After giving effect to our sale of 31,000,000 shares of common stock in this offering, representing the 34,000,000 shares being registered under this registration statement less the Commitment Fee Shares, and based on an offering price of $0.023 per share in this offering and a pro forma net tangible book deficit of our common stock of $3.0 million as of March 31, 2012, if you purchase common stock in this offering, you will suffer immediate and substantial dilution of $0.059 per share in the net tangible book value of the common stock purchased. See “Dilution” on page 16 for a more detailed discussion of the dilution you will incur in connection with this offering.


11





The issuance of our common stock pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement may have a significant dilutive effect.


Depending on the number of shares of our common stock that we issue pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, it could have a significant dilutive effect upon our existing stockholders.  Although the number of shares that we may issue will vary based on the average daily VWAP of our shares during the drawn down pricing periods, the information set forth below indicates the potential dilutive effect to our stockholders, based on different potential future stock prices, if the full amount of the Ironridge financing is exercised and all shares of common stock are issued.

(1)  Based on total $10.0 million drawdown under the Stock Purchase Agreement.

(2)  Based on 135,346,089 shares of our common stock outstanding as of July 19, 2012. See page 4 of this prospectus for information regarding our outstanding preferred stock, options and warrants not taken into account in the number of shares of our common stock outstanding.


Based on our average daily VWAP of $0.025 on July 18, 2012, we would be required to issue 440,962,601 shares of our common stock in order to obtain the full $10,000,000 under the equity line.  However, the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part registers only up to 34,000,000 shares.  As a result, we would need to file an additional registration statement to register enough shares to access the full $10,000,000 under the equity line, which could delay our receipt of the funds.

  

If our share price continues to decline as we draw down against the equity line, we will be required to issue more shares to Ironridge and the dilution percentage could become significantly larger.  Under our second amended and restated articles of incorporation, as amended, we are authorized to issue up to 470,000,000 shares of common stock, of which 135,346,089 shares are currently outstanding. As a result, we would be required to seek stockholder approval for an increase in authorized shares in order to obtain the full $10,000,000 under the equity line, which could further delay our receipt of the funds.


We may not have access to the full amount available under the equity line financing facility.

Although the equity line financing facility with Ironridge provides for access to up to $10 million, before Ironridge is obligated to purchase any shares of our common stock pursuant to a draw down notice, certain conditions specified in the Stock Purchase Agreement must be met. Some of such conditions are not in our control. There is no guarantee that these conditions will be met nor is there any guarantee that any of the other conditions in the Stock Purchase Agreement will be met that would enable a drawdown of any portion of the amounts available under the equity line with Ironridge.  As a result, the equity line may not provide adequate funding for our planned operations.

Further, the Stock Purchase Agreement provides that the drawdown pricing period is the number of consecutive trading days necessary for a cumulative of 6,000,000 shares of our common stock to trade. Based on our current three-month average daily trading volume of approximately 700,000 shares, we would expect drawdowns to occur every 9-10 trading days. If the trading volume in our common stock declines, it will impact our ability to draw down on the equity line.

Unless an active trading market develops for our securities, investors may not be able to sell their shares.


Although, we are a reporting company and our common shares are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol “PSID.OB”, there is not currently an active trading market for our common stock and an active trading market may never develop or, if it does develop, may not be maintained.  Failure to develop or maintain an active trading market will have a generally negative effect on the price of our common stock, and you may be unable to sell your common stock or any attempted sale of such common stock may have the effect of lowering the market price and therefore your investment could be a partial or complete loss.



12





The amount we can draw down under the Stock Purchase Agreement may be affected by limitation on the percentage of beneficial ownership by Ironridge.


Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, the number of shares Ironridge is able to beneficially own at any given time is limited to 9.99% of the total common stock then outstanding. If Ironridge’s beneficial ownership reaches the 9.99% limit, we may not be able to secured any further advances from Ironridge. The 9.99% ownership limitation does not prevent Ironridge from selling some of its holdings and then receiving additional shares.  In this way, Ironridge could sell more than the 9.99% ownership limitation while never holding more than this limit.

INFORMATION REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

This prospectus contains “forward-looking statements” that are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different than the results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.


Forward-looking statements include statements about our expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, intentions, assumptions and other statements that are not historical facts. Forward-looking statements can generally be identified by forward-looking words and phrases such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “potential,” “continues,” “estimate,” “seek,” “predict,” “designed,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “may,” “should,” “will,” “would,” “project,” and other similar expressions that denote expectations of future or conditional events rather than statement of fact. Forward-looking statements also may relate to strategies, plans and objectives for, and potential results of, future operations, financial results, financial condition, business prospects, growth strategy and liquidity, and are based upon management’s current plans and beliefs or current estimates of future results or trends. Specifically, this prospectus contains forward-looking statements regarding:


·

the expectation that operating losses will continue through at least 2012, and that until we are able to achieve profits, we intend to continue to seek to access the capital markets to fund the development of our HealthID products;

·

that we seek to structure our research and development on a project basis to allow management of costs and results on a discrete short term project basis, the expectation that doing so may result in quarterly expenses that rise and fall depending on the underlying project status, and the expectation that this method of managing projects may allow us to minimize our firm fixed commitments at any given point in time;

USE OF PROCEEDS


We will not receive any of the proceeds from the resale of shares of common stock offered by Ironridge, but we estimate that the aggregate net proceeds from the sale of our common stock under the Stock Purchase Agreement for the shares being registered herein, after deducting our estimated offering expenses, will be approximately $0.7 million (based on an assumed purchase price of $0.023 per share).

We intend to use any net cash proceeds we receive from the sale of our common stock to Ironridge for general corporate purposes.  General corporate purposes may include capital expenditures, future acquisitions, and working capital. Our management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds of this offering. We reserve the right to change the use of proceeds as a result of certain contingencies such as competitive developments, opportunities to acquire technologies or products and other factors. We may invest the net proceeds temporarily until we use them for their stated purpose.  

Until we are able to achieve operating profits, it is our intention to continue to seek to access the capital markets to fund the development of our HealthID products. We may seek to raise additional capital through additional public or private financings, principally through equity issuances, although there can be no assurance that we will be able to raise such capital on acceptable terms, or at all.

DILUTION

Purchasers of shares of our common stock in this offering will suffer an immediate and substantial dilution in net tangible book value per share.  Net tangible book value per share is total tangible assets, reduced by total liabilities, divided by the total number of outstanding shares of common stock as of July 19, 2012.  Our net tangible book deficit as of March 31, 2012 was a deficit of approximately $3.0 million, or $(0.022) per outstanding share of common stock.

After giving effect to the sale of 31,000,000 shares of our common stock offered hereby, representing the 34,000,000 shares being registered under this registration statement less the Commitment Fee Shares, at an assumed offering price of $0.023 per share, which is 90% of the average daily VWAP immediately before the date of this prospectus, after deducting estimated offering expenses, our net tangible book deficit as of March 31, 2012 would have been approximately $2.3 million, or $0.014 per share of our common stock. This amount represents an increase in net tangible book value of $0.045 per share to our existing stockholders and an immediate dilution in net tangible book value of $0.059 per share to new investors purchasing securities in this offering. If the price per share at which we sell the shares is higher, the dilution will also be higher. We determine dilution by subtracting the adjusted net tangible book value per share after this offering from the assumed offering price per share of common stock. The following table illustrates the dilution in net tangible book value per share to new investors.

The foregoing table is based on 135,346,089 shares of common stock outstanding as of July 19, 2012, which does not take into effect further dilution to new investors that could occur upon the exercise of outstanding options having a per share exercise price less than the offering price.

In addition, the calculations in the foregoing table do not take into account any of the following:


·

10,563,992 shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding stock options having a weighted average exercise price of $0.63 per share, under and outside of our stock plans;  

·

13,608,000 additional shares of our common stock reserved for future issuance under the VeriChip Corporation 2002 Flexible Stock Plan, VeriChip Corporation 2005 Flexible Stock Plan, VeriChip Corporation 2007 Stock Incentive Plan, VeriChip Corporation 2009 Stock Incentive Plan, PositiveID Corporation 2011 Stock Incentive Plan and SysComm International Corporation 2001 Flexible Stock Plan;

·

304,000 shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding warrants having a weighted average exercise price of $0.65 per share;

·

5,000,000 shares of restricted common stock issuable to our chief executive officer and current chairman of the Board of Directors pursuant to his amended employment and non-compete agreement dated December 7, 2011;


16





·

94,354,678 shares of our common stock issuable upon conversion of outstanding Series F Preferred Stock and Series H Preferred Stock; and

·

3,000,000 Commitment Fee Shares issuable to Ironridge under the Stock Purchase Agreement.


Based on our average daily VWAP of $0.025 on July 18, 2012, we would be required to issue 440,962,601 shares of our common stock in order to obtain the full $10,000,000 under the equity line. However, the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part registers only up to 34,000,000 shares. As a result, we would need to file an additional registration statement to register enough shares to access the full $10,000,000 under the equity line, which could further delay our receipt of the funds.


If our share price continues to decline as we draw down against the equity line, we will be required to issue more shares to Ironridge and the dilution percentage could become significantly larger.  Under our second amended and restated articles of incorporation, as amended, we are authorized to issue up to 470,000,000 shares of common stock, of which 135,346,089 shares are currently outstanding. As a result, we would be required to seek stockholder approval for an increase in authorized shares in order to obtain the full $10,000,000 under the equity line, which could further delay our receipt of the funds.   


To the extent that any of our outstanding options or warrants are exercised, our preferred stock is converted, we grant additional options under our stock option plans or issue additional warrants, or we issue additional shares of common stock in the future, there may be further dilution to new investors.

Dividend Policy

In July 2008, we declared and in August 2008, we paid a special cash dividend of $15.8 million on our capital stock. Any future determination with respect to the payment of dividends on our common stock will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will be dependent upon our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, general business conditions, terms of financing arrangements and other factors that our Board of Directors may deem relevant.  In addition, our Certificates of Designation for shares of Series C, Series F and Series H Preferred Stock prohibit the payment of cash dividends on our common stock while any such shares of preferred stock are outstanding.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Overview


We have historically developed, marketed and sold RFID systems used for the identification of people in the healthcare market.  Beginning in early 2011, we have focused our strategy on the growth of our HealthID business, including the continued development of our GlucoChip, our Easy Check breath glucose detection device, our iglucose wireless communication system, and potential strategic acquisition opportunities of businesses that are complementary to our HealthID business.

In May 2011 and consistent with this strategy, we acquired MicroFluidic, pursuant to which MicroFluidic became our wholly-owned subsidiary.  MicroFluidic specializes in the production of automated instruments for a wide range of applications in the detection and processing of biological samples, ranging from rapid medical testing to airborne pathogen detection for homeland security. MicroFluidic’s substantial portfolio of intellectual property related to sample preparation and rapid medical testing applications are complementary to our portfolio of virus detection and diabetes management products. Since its inception, MicroFluidic has received over $45 million in U.S. Government contracts, primarily from the DHS. Since our acquisition of MicroFluidic, we have submitted, and are in the process of submitting, bids on various potential U.S. Government contracts, and are planning to pursue the DHS’s third generation BioWatch program (for the development of networked, autonomous, bioagent detection systems).  DHS has estimated the first contract period to be five years and has projected the request for proposal for this program will be issued during the third quarter of 2012.  

HealthID Business

Our HealthID business is currently focused on the development and commercialization of three products: (1) the GlucoChip, a glucose-sensing microchip, based on our proprietary intellectual property which is being developed in conjunction with Receptors LLC, or Receptors, (2) iglucose, a stand-alone, self-contained unit that automatically queries a diabetic user’s data-capable glucometer for blood glucose data and sends that data via machine-to-machine technology to the iglucose online database, and (3) Easy Check, a non-invasive breath glucose detection system, based on the correlation of acetone in exhaled breath to blood glucose levels.

In July 2011, we submitted a 510(k) pre-market notification application for our iglucose wireless communication system to the FDA. In November 2011, we obtained FDA clearance for iglucose. In the first quarter of 2012, we launched initial deployments of iglucose through trial programs with a leading health insurer and two other healthcare companies and began taking pre-orders for iglucose from consumers. We are currently evaluating strategic alternatives with respect to iglucose, including the possible sale or license of the technology.

Through the end of 2011, our HealthID business also included the VeriMed system, which uses the VeriChip, that is used in patient identification applications. Each implantable microchip contains a unique verification number that is read when it is scanned by our scanner. In October 2004, the FDA cleared our VeriMed system for use in medical applications in the United States. We had not actively marketed the VeriMed system since early 2008.

On January 11, 2012, we contributed certain assets and liabilities related to the VeriChip business, as well as all of our assets and liabilities relating to our Health Link business, which is a patient-controlled, online repository to store personal health information, to our wholly-owned subsidiary Animal Health.  We ceased actively marketing the VeriChip business in January 2008 and the Health Link business in September 2010. The term “VeriChip business” does not include the GlucoChip or any product or application involving blood glucose detection or diabetes management.  

On January 11, 2012, VeriTeQ, which is owned and controlled by Mr. Silverman, purchased all of the outstanding capital stock of Animal Health in exchange for a secured promissory note in the amount of $200,000 and 4 million shares of common stock of VeriTeQ representing a 10% ownership interest, to which no value was ascribed.  In connection with the sale, we entered into the License Agreement with VeriTeQ dated January 11, 2012 which grants VeriTeQ a license to utilize our bio-sensor implantable RFID device that is protected under United States Patent No. 7,125,382, “Embedded Bio Sensor System,” for the purpose of designing and constructing, using, selling and offering to sell products or services related to the VeriChip business, but excluding the GlucoChip or any product or application involving blood glucose detection or diabetes management.  We will receive royalties in the amount of 10% on all gross revenues arising out of or relating to VeriTeQ’s sale of products, whether by license or otherwise, specifically relating to the patent, and a royalty of 20% on gross revenues that are generated under the Development and Supply Agreement between us and Medcomp, dated April 2, 2009.  Our right to the Medcomp royalty payments terminates three years following written clearance by the United States Food and Drug Administration of the Medcomp product that incorporates the VeriChip product. We have not recorded the promissory note received from VeriTeQ in our balance sheet and currently plan to recognize the $200,000 gain represented by the note as the note is collected.

On June 26, 2012, the License Agreement was amended pursuant to which the license was converted from a non-exclusive license to an exclusive license, subject to VeriTeQ meeting certain minimum royalty requirements as follows: 2013 - $400,000; 2014 - $800,000; and 2015 and thereafter - $1,600,000.

ID Security Business

 Our ID Security business included our Identity Security suite of products, sold through the NationalCreditReport.com brand and our Health Link PHR business. We acquired the NationalCreditReport.com business in conjunction with the acquisition of Steel Vault in November 2009. NationalCreditReport.com offered consumers a variety of identity security products and services primarily on a subscription basis. These services helped consumers protect themselves against identity theft or fraud and understand and monitor their credit profiles and other personal information, which included credit reports, credit monitoring and credit scores. Beginning in early 2011, we ceased acquiring new subscribers to the identity security and credit reporting businesses, and on July 22, 2011, we completed the sale of the identity security and credit reporting business for total consideration of $750,000.  

As a result of our sale of the NationalCreditReport.com business in July 2011, we now operate in one segment and are not currently generating revenue.

Results of Operations

 

Overview

 

In connection with our decision to sell the NationalCreditReport.com business in the second quarter of 2011, we classified certain assets of the subsidiary as held for sale in our consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2010, and have presented its results of operations as discontinued operations in our consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 and the three months ended March 31, 2011. Since the sale of NationalCreditReport.com, we are not currently generating revenue.


Three Months Ended March 31, 2012 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2011

 

Revenue and Gross Profit

 

We reported no revenue or gross profit from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011. Until one or more of the products under development in our HealthID segment is successfully brought to market, we do not anticipate generating significant revenue or gross profit. Further, MicroFluidic reported no revenue or gross profit during the period from the date of our acquisition of MicroFluidic on May 23, 2011 through March 31, 2012 as it had no active contracts during this period. MicroFluidic has submitted, or is the process of submitting, bids on various potential new U.S. Government contracts; however, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining any such new or other contracts.

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expense

 

Selling, general and administrative expense consists primarily of compensation for employees in executive, sales, marketing and operational functions, including finance and accounting and corporate development, and also including stock-based compensation. Other significant costs include depreciation and amortization, professional fees for accounting and legal services, consulting fees and facilities costs.

 

Selling, general and administrative expense increased by approximately $0.2 million, or 7%, for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011. The increase was primarily attributable to incremental expense from the MicroFluidic operations and amortization of intangible assets related to the MicroFluidic acquisition, offset in part by a decrease in stock-based compensation for the period.

 

Stock-based compensation included in selling, general and administrative expense totaled approximately $0.7 million and $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

 

Research and Development

 

Our research and development expense consists primarily of costs associated with various projects, including testing, developing prototypes and related expenses. Our research and development costs include payments to our project partners and acquisition of in-process research and development.  We seek to structure our research and development on a project basis to allow the management of costs and results on a discreet, short-term project basis.  This may result in quarterly expenses that rise and fall depending on the underlying project status.  We expect this method of managing projects to allow us to minimize our firm fixed commitments at any given point in time.

 


20




Research and development expense decreased by approximately $0.3 million, or 70%, for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in stock-based compensation to consultants and our research and development project partners and a decrease in expensed in-process research and development.

 

Stock-based compensation included in research and development expense totaled $0 and approximately $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

 

Income from Discontinued Operations

 

Income from discontinued operations relates to the NationalCreditReport.com business sold in July 2011, and totaled approximately $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011. Historical revenue related to the NationalCreditReport.com business and included in income from discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2011 totaled approximately $0.6 million.


Year Ended December 31, 2011 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2010

 

Revenue and Gross Profit

 

We reported no revenue or gross profit from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2011 and a minimal level of revenue and gross profit from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2010. Until one or more of the products under development in our HealthID business is successfully brought to market, we do not anticipate generating significant revenue or gross profit. Further, MicroFluidic reported no revenue or gross profit during the period from the date of acquisition of May 23, 2011 through December 31, 2011 as it had no active contracts during this period. MicroFluidic has submitted, or is the process of submitting, bids on various potential new U.S. Government contracts; however, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining any such new or other contracts.


Selling, General and Administrative Expense

 

Selling, general and administrative expense consists primarily of compensation for employees in executive, sales, marketing and operational functions, including finance and accounting, and corporate development. Other significant costs include depreciation and amortization, professional fees for accounting and legal services, consulting fees and facilities costs.

Selling, general and administrative expense increased by approximately $1.1 million, or 12%, for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to the year ended December 31, 2010. The increase was primarily attributable to incremental expense from the MicroFluidic operations since the date of the acquisition, including approximately $0.6 million of direct costs related to the acquisition, and amortization of intangible assets related to the MicroFluidic acquisition, offset in part by a decrease in stock-based compensation for the period.

 

Stock-based compensation included in selling, general and administrative expense totaled approximately $3.2 million and $4.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

 

Research and Development

 

Our research and development expense consists primarily of costs associated with various projects, including testing, developing prototypes and related expenses. Our research and development costs include payments to our project partners and acquisition of in process research and development.  We seek to structure our research and development on a project basis to allow the management of costs and results on a discrete short term project basis.  This may result in quarterly expenses that rise and fall depending on the underlying project status.  We expect this method of managing projects to allow us to minimize our firm fixed commitments at any given point in time.

 

Research and development expense decreased by approximately $0.6 million, or 44%, for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to the year ended December 31, 2010. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in stock-based compensation to consultants and our research and development project partners and a decrease in expensed in-process research and development.

 

Stock-based compensation included in research and development expense totaled approximately $0.2 million and $0.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Stock Compensation to Related Party


In connection with amendments to our former chief executive officer’s employment agreement relating to his ceasing to be our chief executive officer and chairman of the Board, we recorded non-cash charges totaling approximately $4.9 million in the third and fourth quarters of 2011 related to the value of stock to be issued to the individual pursuant to the amendment.

 

Loss from Discontinued Operations

Loss from discontinued operations totaled approximately $57,000 and $4.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Historical revenue related to the NationalCreditReport.com business and included in the loss from discontinued operations totaled approximately $1.0 million and $3.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

In connection with the decision to sell the NationalCreditReport.com business, the carrying value of the subsidiary’s net assets was written down to their estimated fair value, determined based upon the proceeds realized upon the sale in July 2011. As a result, an impairment of the carrying value of intangible assets of approximately $0.6 million was recognized during the second quarter of 2011 and is included in the loss from discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2012, cash and cash equivalents totaled approximately $144,000 compared to cash and cash equivalents of approximately $28,000 at December 31, 2011.

In January 2010, Stanley received a notice from the CRA that the CRA would be performing a review of Xmark’s Canadian tax returns for the periods 2005 through 2008. The review covered all periods that we owned Xmark. In February 2011, and as revised on November 9, 2011, Stanley received a notice from the CRA that the CRA completed its review of the Xmark returns and was questioning certain deductions on the tax returns under review. In November and December 2011, the CRA and the Ministry of Revenue of the Province of Ontario issued notices of reassessment confirming the proposed adjustments. The total amount of the income tax reassessments for the 2006-2008 tax years, including both provincial and federal reassessments, plus interest, was approximately $1.4 million. In addition, on March 28, 2012, Stanley received assessments for withholding taxes on deemed dividend payments in respect of the disallowed management fees totaling approximately $0.2 million.


22




On January 20, 2012, we received an indemnification claim notice from Stanley related to the matter. We do not agree with the position taken by the CRA, and filed a formal appeal related to the matter on March 8, 2012. In connection with the filing of the appeal, Stanley was required to remit an upfront payment of a portion of the tax reassessment totaling approximately $0.9 million. Pursuant to a letter agreement dated March 7, 2012, as amended on May 30, 2012, we have agreed to repay Stanley for the upfront payment, plus interest at the rate of five percent per annum, in 24 equal monthly payments beginning on July 1, 2012. We also filed a formal appeal related to the withholding tax assessments, pursuant to which Stanley was required to remit an upfront payment of approximately $0.2 million, which we have agreed to repay Stanley in 24 equal monthly payments. To the extent that we and Stanley reach a successful resolution of the matter through the appeals process, the upfront payment (or a portion thereof) will be returned to Stanley or us as applicable. Based on our review of the correspondence and evaluation of the supporting detail, we do not believe that the ultimate resolution of this matter will have a material negative impact on our historical tax liabilities or results of operations.

Financial Condition

As of March 31, 2012, we had a working capital deficiency of approximately $2.7 million and an accumulated deficit of approximately $90 million, compared to working capital deficiency of approximately $2.7 million and an accumulated deficit of approximately $86 million as of December 31, 2011. We have incurred operating losses prior to and since the merger that created PositiveID. The current operating losses are the result of selling, general and administrative expenses and research and development expenses. We expect our operating losses to continue through at least 2012.

Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to obtain financing to fund the continued development of our HealthID products, the operations of MicroFluidic, and working capital requirements. Until we are able to achieve operating profits, we will continue to seek to access the capital markets.  Since December 31, 2010, we have raised approximately $3.3 million under the Socius and Optimus financing facilities. In July 2011, we executed an equity financing with Ironridge that has provided funding of approximately $2.6 million. Additionally, in January 2012 we raised approximately $0.4 million from the sale of preferred stock to Ironridge. Based on our current monthly cash burn of approximately $0.3 million and assuming we generate no revenue or operating profits, we require additional funding of approximately $3.5 million to continue operations at current levels for the next twelve months.

On August 31, 2011 we received notification that our stock was being delisted from the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) and on September 1, 2011 our stock began trading on the OTC Bulletin Board. The delisting from Nasdaq could adversely affect the market liquidity of our common stock and harm the business and may hinder or delay our ability to consummate potential strategic transactions or investments. Such delisting could also adversely affect our ability to obtain financing for the continuation of our operations and could result in the loss of confidence by investors, suppliers and employees.

These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We intend to continue to access capital to provide funds to meet our working capital requirements for the near-term future. In addition and if necessary, we could reduce and/or delay certain discretionary research, development and related activities and costs. However, there can be no assurances that we will be able to derive sufficient funding or be successful in negotiating additional sources of equity or credit for our long-term capital needs.  Our inability to have access to such financing at reasonable costs could materially and adversely impact our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, and result in significant dilution to our existing stockholders. Our consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of assets and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The following is a description of the accounting policies that our management believes involve a high degree of judgment and complexity, and that, in turn, could materially affect our consolidated financial statements if various estimates and assumptions made in connection with the application of such policies were changed significantly. The preparation of our consolidated financial statements requires that we make certain estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in our consolidated financial statements and related notes. We base our estimates on historical experience and on other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Revenue Recognition

Our revenue recognition policy related to the discontinued ID Security segment was as follows:

Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, collectability of arrangement consideration is reasonably assured, the arrangement fees are fixed or determinable and delivery of the product or service has been completed. A significant portion of our revenue is derived from our processing of transactions related to the provision of information services to customers, in which case revenue is recognized, assuming all other revenue recognition criteria are met, when the services are provided. Another portion of our revenues relate substantially to monthly subscription fee-based credit monitoring contracts under which a customer pays a preset fee for a predetermined or unlimited number of transactions or services provided during the subscription period. Revenue related to subscription fee-based contracts having an unlimited volume is recognized ratably during the contract term.


23




If at the outset of an arrangement, we determine that collectability is not reasonably assured, revenue is deferred until the earlier of when collectability becomes probable or the receipt of payment. If there is uncertainty as to the customer’s acceptance of our deliverables, revenue is not recognized until the earlier of receipt of customer acceptance or expiration of the acceptance period. If at the outset of an arrangement, we determine that the arrangement fee is not fixed or determinable, revenue is deferred until the arrangement fee becomes estimable, assuming all other revenue recognition criteria have been met.

In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standard Board issued amended revenue recognition guidance for arrangements with multiple deliverables. The new guidance requires the use of management’s best estimate of selling price for the deliverables in an arrangement when vendor specific objective evidence, vendor objective evidence or third party evidence of the selling price is not available. In addition, excluding specific software revenue guidance, the residual method of allocating arrangement consideration is no longer permitted, and an entity is required to allocate arrangement consideration using the relative selling price method. In accordance with the guidance, we elected to early adopt its provisions as of January 1, 2010 on a prospective basis for all new or materially modified arrangements entered into on or after that date. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

As discussed above, effective January 1, 2010 we adopted, on a prospective basis for all new or materially modified arrangements entered into on or after that date, the amended accounting guidance for multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements and the amended guidance related to the scope of existing software revenue recognition guidance. The amended guidance does not generally change the units of accounting for our revenue transactions. Most of our products and services qualify as separate units of accounting.

To the extent we sell products that may consist of multiple deliverables the revenue recognition is subject to specific guidance. A multiple-deliverable arrangement is separated into more than one unit of accounting if the following criteria are met:


·

The delivered item(s) has value to the client on a stand-alone basis; and

·

If the arrangement includes a general right of return relative to the delivered item(s), delivery or performance of the undelivered item(s) is considered probable and substantially in our control.


If these criteria are not met, the arrangement is accounted for as one unit of accounting which would result in revenue being recognized ratably over the contract term or being deferred until the earlier of when such criteria are met or when the last undelivered element is delivered. If these criteria are met for each element and there is a relative selling price for all units of accounting in an arrangement, the arrangement consideration is allocated to the separate units of accounting based on each unit’s relative selling price.

Intangible Assets

ASC 350, “Intangibles — Goodwill and Other”  requires that intangible assets with indefinite lives, including goodwill, be evaluated on an annual basis for impairment or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change that could potentially result in impairment. The goodwill impairment test requires the allocation of goodwill and all other assets and liabilities to reporting units. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the book value (including goodwill), then goodwill is reduced to its implied fair value and the amount of the write-down is charged to operations. In accordance with the pronouncement, we are required to test our goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives for impairment at least annually.

In assessing potential impairment of the intangible assets and goodwill recorded in connection with the MicroFluidic acquisition as of December 31, 2011and March 31, 2012, we considered the likelihood of future cash flows attributable to such assets, including but not limited to the probability and extent of MicroFluidic’s participation in the Department of Homeland Security’s BioWatch program, for which a final Request for Proposal is expected to be released by the third quarter of 2012. Based on our analysis, we have concluded based on information currently available, that no impairment of the intangible assets or goodwill exists as of December 31, 2011 or March 31, 2012.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation expense is recognized using the fair-value based method for all awards granted. Compensation expense is recognized over the requisite service period based on the grant-date fair value of the awards. Forfeitures of stock-based grants are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.

The Black-Scholes option pricing model, which we use to value our stock options, requires us to make several key judgments including:


·

the estimated value of our common stock;

·

the expected life of issued stock options;


24





·

the expected volatility of our stock price;

·

the expected dividend yield to be realized over the life of the stock options; and

·

the risk-free interest rate over the expected life of the stock options.


Our computation of the expected life of issued stock options was determined based on historical experience of similar awards giving consideration to the contractual terms of the stock-based awards, vesting schedules and expectations about employees’ future length of service. The interest rate was based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The computation of volatility was based on the historical volatility of our common stock.

Accounting for Income Taxes

We use the liability method of accounting for deferred income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount of estimated future tax benefit when it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The income tax provision or credit is the tax payable or refundable for the period plus or minus the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.

We use a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring tax benefits when the benefits’ realization is uncertain. The first step is to determine whether the benefit is to be recognized, and the second step is to determine the amount to be recognized:


·

income tax benefits are recognized when, based on the technical merits of a tax position, the entity believes that if a dispute arose with the taxing authority and were taken to a court of last resort, it is more likely than not (i.e., a probability of greater than 50 percent) that the tax position would be sustained as filed; and

·

if a position is determined to be more likely than not of being sustained, the reporting enterprise recognizes the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the taxing authority.


We continue to fully recognize our tax benefits, which are offset by a valuation allowance to the extent that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized. We have analyzed our filing positions in all of the foreign, federal and state jurisdictions where the Company is required to file income tax returns, as well as all open tax years in these jurisdictions. As a result, we have not recorded a tax liability and have no unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2010 or 2011 or March 31, 2012.

OUR BUSINESS


The Company

PositiveID Corporation, formerly known as VeriChip Corporation, was formed as a Delaware corporation by Digital Angel Corporation, or Digital Angel, in November 2001. In January 2002, we began our efforts to create a market for RFID systems that utilize our human implantable microchip. During the first half of 2005 we acquired two businesses focused on providing RFID systems for healthcare applications. Those businesses (EXi Wireless and Instantel) were merged in 2007 to form Xmark Corporation, or Xmark, which was a wholly owned subsidiary of ours. On February 14, 2007, we completed our initial public offering in which we sold 3,100,000 shares of our common stock at $6.50 per share.

On July 18, 2008, we completed the sale of all of the outstanding capital stock of Xmark, which at the time was principally all of our operations, to Stanley Canada Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Stanley Works. The sale transaction was closed for $47.9 million in cash, which consisted of the $45 million purchase price plus a balance sheet adjustment of approximately $2.9 million, which was adjusted to $2.8 million at settlement of the escrow. Under the terms of the stock purchase agreement, $43.4 million of the proceeds were paid at closing and $4.4 million was released from escrow in July 2009. As a result, we recorded a gain on the sale of Xmark of $6.2 million, with $4.5 million of that gain deferred until 2009 when the escrow was settled.  

Following the completion of the sale of Xmark to Stanley Canada Corporation, we retired all of our outstanding debt for a combined payment of $13.5 million and settled all contractual payments to Xmark’s and our officers and management for $9.1 million. On August 28, 2008, we paid a special dividend to our stockholders of $15.8 million.

On November 12, 2008, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement, or APA, with Digital Angel Corporation and Destron Fearing Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Digital Angel Corporation, which collectively are referred to as, Digital Angel. The terms of the APA included our purchase of patents related to an embedded bio-sensor system for use in humans, and the assignment of any rights of Digital Angel under a development agreement associated with the development of an implantable glucose sensing microchip. We also received covenants from Digital Angel and Destron Fearing that permit the use of intellectual property of Digital Angel related to our health care business without payment of ongoing royalties, as well as inventory and a limited period of technology support by Digital Angel. We paid Digital Angel $500,000 at the closing of the APA.

On September 4, 2009, we, VeriChip Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and our wholly-owned subsidiary, or the Acquisition Subsidiary, and Steel Vault, a Delaware corporation signed an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, or the Merger Agreement, dated September 4, 2009, as amended, pursuant to which the Acquisition Subsidiary was merged with and into Steel Vault on November 10, 2009, with Steel Vault surviving and becoming our wholly-owned subsidiary, or the Merger. Upon the consummation of the Merger, each outstanding share of Steel Vault’s common stock, warrants and options was converted into 0.5 shares of our common stock, warrants and options. At the closing of the Merger, we changed our name to PositiveID Corporation.

On February 11, 2010, we acquired the assets of Easy Check Medical Diagnostics, LLC, or Easy Check, which included the Easy Check breath glucose detection system and the iglucose wireless communication system. These products are in different stages of development. In exchange for the assets, we issued 300,000 shares of our common stock valued at approximately $351,000. Additional payment in the form of shares (maximum 200,000 shares) and product royalties may be paid in the future based on successful patent grants and product or license revenues. On February 24, 2011, we issued 200,000 shares of our common stock to Easy Check to amend the Asset Purchase Agreement with Easy Check.  

On May 23, 2011, we entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement to acquire MicroFluidic pursuant to which MicroFluidic became a wholly-owned subsidiary. MicroFluidic specializes in the production of automated instruments for a wide range of applications in the detection and processing of biological samples, ranging from rapid medical testing to airborne pathogen detection for homeland security.

In July 2011, we completed the sale of substantially all of the assets of NationalCreditReport.com, which had been acquired in connection with the Merger.

On January 11, 2012, we contributed certain assets and liabilities related to the VeriChip business, as well as all of our assets and liabilities relating to our Health Link business, which is a patient-controlled, online repository to store personal health information, to our wholly-owned subsidiary PositiveID Animal Health, or Animal Health.  We ceased actively marketing the VeriChip business in January 2008 and the Health Link business in September 2010.  

On January 11, 2012, VeriTeQ, which is owned and controlled by Mr. Silverman, our former chairman and chief executive officer, purchased all of the outstanding capital stock of Animal Health in exchange for a secured promissory note in the amount of $200,000 and 4 million shares of common stock of VeriTeQ representing a 10% ownership interest, to which no value was ascribed.  In connection with the sale, we entered into the License Agreement with VeriTeQ dated January 11, 2012 which grants VeriTeQ a


26




license to utilize our bio-sensor implantable RFID device that is protected under United States Patent No. 7,125,382, “Embedded Bio Sensor System,” for the purpose of designing and constructing, using, selling and offering to sell products or services related to the VeriChip business, but excluding the GlucoChip or any product or application involving blood glucose detection or diabetes management.  We will receive royalties in the amount of ten percent on all gross revenues arising out of or relating to VeriTeQ’s sale of products, whether by license or otherwise, specifically relating to the patent, and a royalty of twenty percent on gross revenues that are generated under the Development and Supply Agreement between us and Medcomp, dated April 2, 2009.  Our right to the Medcomp royalty payments terminates three years following written clearance by the United States Food and Drug Administration of the Medcomp product that incorporates the VeriChip product. We have not recorded the promissory note received from VeriTeQ in our balance sheet and currently plan to recognize the $200,000 gain represented by the note as the note is collected.

On June 26, 2012, the License Agreement was amended pursuant to which the license was converted from a non-exclusive license to an exclusive license, subject to VeriTeQ meeting certain minimum royalty requirements as follows: 2013 - $400,000; 2014 - $800,000; and 2015 and thereafter - $1,600,000.

Overview

We have historically developed, marketed and sold RFID systems used in the healthcare market for the identification of people. Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2009, with the acquisition of Steel Vault, we focused our strategy to provide unique health and security identification tools to protect consumers and businesses, operating in two key segments: HealthID and ID Security. Beginning in early 2011, we ceased acquiring new subscribers to our identity security and credit reporting businesses, and on July 22, 2011, we completed the sale of the identity security and credit reporting business. Beginning in early 2011 we further focused our strategy on the growth of our HealthID segment, including the continued successful development of our GlucoChip, our Easy Check breath glucose measurement device, our iglucose wireless system, and potential strategic acquisition opportunities of businesses that are complementary to our HealthID business. As a result of the sale of our NationalCreditReport.com business in July 2011, we now operate in one segment, HealthID and are not currently generating revenue.

In May 2011, we acquired MicroFluidic, pursuant to which MicroFluidic became our wholly-owned subsidiary.  MicroFluidic specializes in the production of automated instruments for a wide range of applications in the detection and processing of biological samples, ranging from rapid medical testing to airborne pathogen detection for homeland security.

HealthID Segment

Our HealthID segment is currently focused on the development and commercialization of three products: (1) the GlucoChip, a glucose-sensing microchip, based on our proprietary intellectual property which is being developed in conjunction with Receptors, (2) iglucose, a stand-alone, self-contained unit that automatically queries a diabetic user’s data-capable glucometer for blood glucose data and sends that data via machine-to-machine technology to the iglucose online database, and (3) Easy Check, a non-invasive breath glucose detection system, based on the correlation of acetone in exhaled breath to blood glucose levels.

Our HealthID segment also included the VeriMed system, which uses the VeriChip which is used in patient identification applications. Each implantable microchip contains a unique verification number that is read when it is scanned by our scanner. In October 2004, the FDA cleared our VeriMed system for use in medical applications in the United States.  We have not actively marketed its VeriMed system since early 2008. In January 2012, we completed the sale of the VeriMed system to VeriTeQ.

ID Security Segment

Our ID Security segment included our Identity Security suite of products, sold through NationalCreditReport.com and our Health Link PHR, business. The NationalCreditReport.com business offered consumers a variety of identity security products and services primarily on a subscription basis. These services helped consumers protect themselves against identity theft or fraud and understand and monitor their credit profiles and other personal information, which included credit reports, credit monitoring and credit scores. For our Health Link PHR business, we focused our marketing efforts on partnering with health care providers and exchanges, physicians group, Electronic Medical Record system vendors, and insurers to use Health Link as PHR provided to their patients. In January 2012, we completed the sale of the Health Link PHR business to VeriTeQ.

Our Business

HealthID Business

Our HealthID business includes the GlucoChip, a product that combines a glucose-sensing microtransponder based on our patent number 7,125,382 entitled “Embedded Bio-Sensor System” with an in-vivo glucose sensor. Our patent covers a bio-sensor system that utilizes RFID technology, combining wireless communication with an implantable passively-powered on-chip transponder. We have partnered with Receptors, a technology company whose AFFINITY by DESIGN™ chemistry platform can be applied to the development of selective binding products, to develop an in-vivo glucose sensor to detect glucose levels in the human body. The glucose sensor is intended to be coupled with our microchip to read blood glucose levels through an external scanner. According to the 2011 National Diabetes Fact Sheet, 25.8 million children and adults in the United States, or 8 percent of the population, have diabetes. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention predicts that nearly 30 percent of children born after the year 2000 will develop diabetes, and the lifetime risk of developing diabetes for those born in the year 2000 is 35 percent. We believe the successful development and commercialization of our glucose-sensing microchip could negate the need for diabetics to draw blood samples multiple times each day to read their blood glucose levels. We further believe that patients implanted with our glucose-sensing microchip, if successfully developed, could get a rapid reading of their blood sugar with a simple wave of a handheld scanner.

In conjunction with Receptors, we have successfully completed Phase I and Phase II development of the glucose-sensing microchip and are currently in Phase III development. In Phase I, we successfully demonstrated the bench-top format application of the glucose-sensing system to the detection of glucose levels. In Phase II, we expanded on the synthetic competitor agent and Combinatorial Artificial Receptor Array (CARA) binding environment preparation and screening protocols using optimized array and bead workflows. Phase II optimized candidate glucose-sensing systems for sensitivity and selectivity incorporating model matrices into the screen and workflow process. It also optimized the binding environment and competitor agent synthesis, test cut-off membrane technology and demonstrate a bench-scale fluorescence system prototype. In Phase III, we expect to test the biocompatibility of the semi-permeable membrane that will encase the GlucoChip.  This testing is being performed in a clinical study at the Diabetes Research Institute. Preliminary results from the study have demonstrated that the membrane materials to be used with GlucoChip allow for successful movement of glucose from body fluids. Phase III also includes the construction and demonstration of the bench top scale flow system.

In February 2010, we acquired certain intellectual property rights and assets of Easy Check Medical Diagnostics, LLC, to expand our portfolio of non-invasive glucose-level testing products and diabetes management tools under development. This acquisition included two products under development: the Easy Check breath glucose detection system and the iglucose wireless communication device.

The Easy Check breath glucose test, currently under development, is a non-invasive glucose detection system that measures acetone levels in a patient’s exhaled breath. The association between acetone levels in the breath and glucose is well documented, but previous data on the acetone/glucose correlation has been insufficient for reliable statistics. Easy Check’s breath glucose detection system combines a proprietary chemical mixture of sodium nitroprusside with breath exhalate, which is intended to create a new molecular compound that can be measured with its patent pending technology. We believe that the use of a heavy molecule to generate a chemical reaction that can be reliably measured may prove the close correlation between acetone concentrations found in a patient’s exhaled breath and glucose found in his or her blood. This could eliminate a patient’s need to prick his or her finger multiple times per day to get a blood sugar reading. We recently commenced the first clinical trial of Easy Check, which is being held at Schneider Children’s Medical Center of Israel, a preeminent research hospital. The purpose of the clinical study is to assess the feasibility of Easy Check compared to a standard invasive blood glucose meter and to assess the reliability of Easy Check in measuring blood glucose levels under conditions of altered blood glucose levels.

Our third diabetes management product, the iglucose system, uses machine to machine technology to automatically communicate a diabetic’s glucose readings to the iglucose online database. iglucose is intended to provide next generation, real-time data to improve diabetes management and help ensure patient compliance, data accuracy and insurance reimbursement. In addition, we believe that the iglucose wireless communication device is one of the first to provide an automated solution to address the Medicare requirement for durable medical equipment manufacturers and pharmacies to receive glucose level logs and records from certain high-frequency diabetes patients.  In July 2011, we submitted a 510(k) pre-market notification application for our iglucose wireless communication system to the FDA. In November 2011, we obtained FDA clearance for iglucose. In the first quarter of 2012, we launched initial deployments of iglucose through trial programs with a leading health insurer and two other healthcare companies and began taking pre-orders for iglucose from consumers. We are currently evaluating strategic alternatives with respect to iglucose, including the possible sale or license of the technology.

MicroFluidic Systems

In May 2011, we acquired MicroFluidic, pursuant to which MicroFluidic became our wholly-owned subsidiary.  MicroFluidic specializes in the production of automated instruments for a wide range of applications in the detection and processing of biological samples, ranging from rapid medical testing to airborne pathogen detection for homeland security. MicroFluidic’s substantial portfolio of intellectual property related to sample preparation and rapid medical testing applications are complementary to our portfolio of virus detection and diabetes management products. Since its inception, MicroFluidic has received over $45 million in U.S. Government contracts, primarily from DHS. Since our acquisition of MicroFluidic, we have submitted, and are in the process of submitting, bids on various potential U.S. Government contracts, and are planning to pursue the DHS’s third generation BioWatch program (for the development of networked, autonomous, bioagent detection systems).  DHS has estimated the first contract period to be five years and has projected the request for proposal for this program will be issued during the third quarter of 2012.  

Sales, Marketing and Distribution

Our sales, marketing and distribution plan for our Healthcare products is to align with large medical distribution companies, and either manufacture the products to their specification or license the products and underlying technology to them.

Manufacturing; Supply Arrangements

We have historically outsourced the manufacturing of all the hardware components of our systems to third parties, and historically have not had material difficulties obtaining system components. We believe that if any of our manufacturers or suppliers were to cease supplying us with system components, we would be able to procure alternative sources without material disruption to our business. We plan to continue to outsource any manufacturing requirements of our current and under development products.

Our products under development include Patent No. 7,125,382 for an “Embedded Bio-Sensor System,” as well as four patents pending covering the following: (i) our Easy Check breath glucose detection device, (ii) our iglucose system, (iii) our Insulin Tracker insulin pen tracking and recording device, and (iv) the interface between a radio frequency powered resonant electromechanical drive and the fluids in the interstitial space of a patient for continuous detection of glucose levels in a patient. We also trademarked the PositiveID, Easy Check, GlucoChip, iglucose and Wireless Body names.  During 2011 and 2010, we incurred $0.8 million and $1.4 million, respectively, related to research and development and expect to continue such expenditures for the foreseeable future.

We filed a 510(k) application with the FDA related to our first product to market, iglucose, during the third quarter of 2011, and obtained FDA clearance in the fourth quarter of 2011. In the first quarter of 2012, we launched initial deployments of iglucose through trial programs with a leading health insurer and two other healthcare companies and began taking pre-orders for iglucose from consumers. We expect that each of our other diabetes management products will also require FDA clearance.  

Environmental Regulation

We must comply with local, state, federal, and international environmental laws and regulations in the countries in which we do business, including laws and regulations governing the management and disposal of hazardous substances and wastes. We expect our operations and products will be affected by future environmental laws and regulations, but we cannot predict the effects of any such future laws and regulations at this time. Our distributors who place our products on the market in the European Union are required to comply with EU Directive 2002/96/EC on waste electrical and electronic equipment, known as the WEEE Directive. Noncompliance by our distributors with EU Directive 2002/96/EC would adversely affect the success of our business in that market. Additionally, we are investigating the applicability of EU Directive 2002/95/EC on the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment, known as the RoHS Directive which took effect on July 1, 2006. We do not expect the RoHS Directive will have a significant impact on our business.

Government Regulation

Laws and Regulations Pertaining to RFID Technologies

The GlucoChip, which uses our implantable microchip, relies on low-power, localized use of radio frequency spectrum to operate. As a result, we must comply with U.S. Federal Communications Commission, or FCC, and Industry Canada regulations, as well as the laws and regulations of other jurisdictions governing the design, testing, marketing, operation and sale of RFID devices if and when we sell our products.


29




U.S. Federal Communications Commission Regulations

Under FCC regulations and Section 302 of the Communications Act, RFID devices must be authorized and comply with all applicable technical standards and labeling requirements prior to being marketed in the United States. The FCC’s rules prescribe technical, operational and design requirements for devices that operate on the electromagnetic spectrum at very low powers. The rules ensure that such devices do not cause interference to licensed spectrum services, mislead consumers regarding their operational capabilities or produce emissions that are harmful to human health. Our RFID devices are intentional radiators, as defined in the FCC’s rules. As such, our devices may not cause harmful interference to licensed services and must accept any interference received. We must construct all equipment in accordance with good engineering design as well as manufacturers’ practices.

Manufacturers of RFID devices must submit testing results and/or other technical information demonstrating compliance with the FCC’s rules in the form of an application for equipment authorization. The FCC processes each application when it is in a form acceptable for filing and, upon grant, issues an equipment identification number. Each of our RFID devices must bear a label which displays the equipment authorization number, as well as specific language set forth in the FCC’s rules. In addition, each device must include a user manual cautioning users that changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the equipment authorization. As a condition of each FCC equipment authorization, we warrant that each of our devices marked under the grant and bearing the grant identifier will conform to all the technical and operational measurements submitted with the application. RFID devices used and/or sold in interstate commerce must meet these requirements or the equipment authorization may be revoked, the devices may be seized and a forfeiture may be assessed against the equipment authorization grantee. The FCC requires all holders of equipment authorizations to maintain a copy of each authorization together with all supporting documentation and make these records available for FCC inspection upon request. The FCC may also conduct periodic sampling tests of equipment to ensure compliance. We believe we are in substantial compliance with all FCC requirements applicable to our products and systems which are offered for sale or lease in the United States.

Regulation by the FDA

We filed a 510(k) application with the FDA related to our first product to market, iglucose, during the third quarter of 2011, and obtained FDA clearance in the fourth quarter of 2011. We expect that each of our other diabetes management products will also require FDA clearance.  

FDA Premarket Clearance and Approval Requirements. Generally speaking, unless an exemption applies, each medical device we wish to distribute commercially in the United States will require either prior clearance under Section 510(k) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, or FFDCA, or a premarket approval application, or PMA, from the FDA. Medical devices are classified into one of three classes — Class I, Class II or Class III — depending on the degree of risk to the patient associated with the medical device and the extent of control needed to ensure its safety and effectiveness. Devices deemed to pose lower risks are placed in either Class I or II. The manufacturer of a Class II device is typically required to submit to the FDA a premarket notification requesting permission to commercially distribute the device and demonstrating that the proposed device is substantially equivalent to a previously cleared and legally marketed 510(k) device or a device that was in commercial distribution before May 28, 1976 for which the FDA has not yet called for the submission of a PMA. This process is known as 510(k) clearance. Devices deemed by the FDA to pose the greatest risk, such as life-sustaining, life-supporting implantable devices, or devices deemed not substantially equivalent to a previously cleared 510(k) device, are generally placed in Class III, requiring premarket approval.

Pervasive and Continuing Regulation. After a medical device is placed on the market, numerous regulatory requirements continue to apply. These include:


·

quality system regulations, or QSR, which require manufacturers, including third-party manufacturers, to follow stringent design, testing, control, documentation and other quality assurance procedures during all aspects of the manufacturing process;

·

labeling regulations and FDA prohibitions against the promotion of regulated products for uncleared, unapproved or off-label uses;

·

clearance or approval of product modifications that could significantly affect safety or effectiveness or that would constitute a major change in intended use;

·

medical device reporting, or MDR, regulations, which require that a manufacturer report to the FDA if the manufacturer’s device may have caused or contributed to a death or serious injury or malfunctioned in a way that would likely cause or contribute to a death or serious injury if the malfunction were to recur;

·

post-market surveillance regulations, which apply when necessary to protect the public health or to provide additional safety and effectiveness data for the device; and

·

medical device tracking requirements apply when the failure of the device would be reasonably likely to have serious adverse health consequences.

Fraud and Abuse

We are subject to various federal and state laws pertaining to healthcare fraud and abuse, including anti-kickback laws and false claims laws. Violations of these laws are punishable by criminal and/or civil sanctions, including, in some instances, imprisonment and exclusion from participation in federal and state healthcare programs, including Medicare, Medicaid and Veterans Affairs health programs. We have never been challenged by a government authority under any of these laws and believe that our operations are in material compliance with such laws. However, because of the far-reaching nature of these laws, there can be no assurance that we would not be required to alter one or more of our practices to be in compliance with these laws. In addition, there can be no assurance that the occurrence of one or more violations of these laws would not result in a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Anti-Kickback Laws

We may directly or indirectly be subject to various federal and state laws pertaining to healthcare fraud and abuse, including anti-kickback laws. In particular, the federal healthcare program Anti-Kickback Statute prohibits persons from knowingly and willfully soliciting, offering, receiving or providing remuneration, directly or indirectly, in exchange for or to induce either the referral of an individual, or the furnishing, arranging for or recommending a good or service, for which payment may be made in whole or part under federal healthcare programs, such as the Medicare and Medicaid programs. Penalties for violations include criminal penalties and civil sanctions such as fines, imprisonment and possible exclusion from Medicare, Medicaid and other federal healthcare programs.

Federal False Claims Act

We may become subject to the Federal False Claims Act, or FCA. The FCA imposes civil fines and penalties against anyone who knowingly submits or causes to be submitted to a government agency a false claim for payment. The FCA contains so-called “whistle-blower” provisions that permit a private individual to bring a claim, called a qui tam action, on behalf of the government to recover payments made as a result of a false claim. The statute provides that the whistle-blower may be paid a portion of any funds recovered as a result of the lawsuit.

State Laws and Regulations

Many states have enacted laws similar to the federal Anti-Kickback Statute and FCA. The Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 contains provisions that give monetary incentives to states to enact new state false claims acts. The state Attorneys General are actively engaged in promoting the passage and enforcement of these laws. While the Federal Anti-Kickback Statute and FCA apply only to federal programs, many similar state laws apply both to state funded and to commercial health care programs. In addition to these laws, all states have passed various consumer protection statutes. These statutes generally prohibit deceptive and unfair marketing practices, including making untrue or exaggerated claims regarding consumer products. There are potentially a wide variety of other state laws, including state privacy laws, to which we might be subject. We have not conducted an exhaustive examination of these state laws.

Laws and Regulations Governing Privacy and Security

There are various federal and state laws and rules regulating the protection of consumer and patient privacy.  We have never been challenged by a governmental authority under any of these laws and believe that our operations are in material compliance with such laws.  However, because of the far reaching nature of these laws, there can be no assurance that we would not be required to alter one or more of our systems and data security procedures to be in compliance with these laws.  Our failure to protect health information received from customers could subject us to civil or criminal liability and adverse publicity and could harm our business and impair our ability to attract new customers.

U.S. Federal Trade Commission Oversight

An increasing focus of the United States Federal Trade Commission’s, or FTC, consumer protection regulation is the impact of technological change on protection of consumer privacy. Under the FTC’s statutory authority to prosecute unfair or deceptive acts and practices, the FTC vigorously enforces promises a business makes about how personal information is collected, used and secured. Since 1999, the FTC has taken enforcement action against companies that do not abide by their representations to consumers of electronic security and privacy. More recently, the FTC has found that failure to take reasonable and appropriate security measures to protect sensitive personal information is an unfair practice violating federal law. In the consent decree context, offenders are routinely required to adopt very specific cyber security and internal compliance mechanisms, as well as submit to twenty years of independent compliance audits. Businesses that do not adopt reasonable and appropriate data security controls have been found liable for as much as $10 million in civil penalties and $5 million in consumer redress.


31




In 2009, the FTC issued rules requiring vendors of personal health records to notify customers of any breach of unsecured, individually identifiable health information.  Also, a third party service provider of such vendors or entities that experiences a breach must notify such vendors or entities of the breach.  If we experience a breach of our systems containing personal health records, we will be required to provide these notices and may be subject to penalties.  Violations of these requirements may be prosecuted by the FTC as an unfair or deceptive act or practice and could result in significant harm to our reputation.

Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 and the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act of 2009

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 and its implementing regulations, or HIPAA, govern how various entities and individuals can use and disclose protected health information.  If we begin transmitting individually identifiable health information in connection with certain standard transactions regulated by HIPAA, we would likely have to implement a HIPAA compliance program to ensure our uses and disclosures of health information are done in accordance with the regulations.  Under the federal Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act, or the HITECH Act, we may be subject to certain federal privacy and security requirements relating to individually identifiable health information we maintain. We may be required to enter into written business associate agreements with certain health care providers and health plans relating to the privacy and security of protected health information, to the extent our customers are covered entities under HIPAA and to the extent we receive, use or disclose protected health information on their behalf. Under the HITECH Act, we would be required by federal law to comply with those business associate agreements, as well as certain privacy and security requirements found in HIPAA and the HITECH Act as they relate to our activities as a business associate.  If we are a covered entity or business associate under HIPAA and the HITECH Act, compliance with those requirements would require us to, among other things, conduct a risk analysis, implement a risk management plan, implement policies and procedures, and conduct employee training. The HITECH Act would also require us to notify patients or our customers, to the extent that they are covered entities subject to HIPAA, of a breach of privacy or security of individually identifiable health information. Breaches may also require notification to the Department of Health and Human Services and the media. Experiencing a breach could have a material impact on our reputation.  The standards under HIPAA and the HITECH Act could be interpreted by regulatory authorities in ways that could require us to make material changes to our operations.  Failure to comply with these federal privacy and security laws could subject us to civil and criminal penalties.  

State Legislation

Many states have privacy laws relating specifically to the use and disclosure of healthcare information. Federal healthcare privacy laws may preempt state laws that are less restrictive or offer fewer protections for healthcare information than the federal law if it is impossible to comply with both sets of laws. More restrictive or protective state laws still may apply to us, and state laws will still apply to the extent that they are not contrary to federal law. Therefore, we may be required to comply with one or more of these multiple state privacy laws. Statutory penalties for violation of these state privacy laws varies widely. Violations also may subject us to lawsuits for invasion of privacy claims, or enforcement actions brought by state Attorneys General. We have not conducted an exhaustive examination of these state laws.

Many states currently have laws in place requiring organizations to notify individuals if there has been unauthorized access to certain unencrypted personal information. Several states also require organizations to notify the applicable state Attorney General or other governmental entity in the event of a data breach, and may also require notification to consumer reporting agencies if the number of individuals involved surpasses a defined threshold. We may be required to comply with one or more of these notice of security breach laws in the event of unauthorized access to personal information. In addition to statutory penalties for a violation of the notice of security breach laws, we may be exposed to liability from affected individuals.

Title 201, Section 17.00 of the Code of Massachusetts Regulations, or Regulation 201, establishes standards for the protection of personal information of Massachusetts residents. Under Regulation 201, we may be required to develop, implement and maintain a written information security program designed to protect such personal information. We may also be required to perform a risk assessment of our existing safeguards, and improve those areas where there is a reasonably foreseeable risk to the security, confidentiality and/or integrity of any electronic, paper or other records that contain personal information about Massachusetts residents. Although Regulation 201 itself does not include a remedy provision, the Massachusetts Attorney General may be able to levy fines against us pursuant to other laws, and we may also be exposed to liability from impacted individuals.

Regulation of Government Bid Process and Contracting

Contracts with federal governmental agencies are obtained by MicroFluidic primarily through a competitive proposal/bidding process. Although practices vary, typically a formal Request for Proposal is issued by the governmental agency, stating the scope of work to be performed, length of contract, performance bonding requirements, minimum qualifications of bidders, selection criteria and the format to be followed in the bid or proposal. Usually, a committee appointed by the governmental agency reviews proposals and makes an award determination. The committee may award the contract to a particular bidder or decide not to award the contract. The committees consider a number of factors, including the technical quality of the proposal, the offered price and the reputation of the bidder for providing quality care. The award of a contract may be subject to formal or informal protest by unsuccessful bidders


32




through a governmental appeals process. Our contracts with governmental agencies often require us to comply with numerous additional requirements regarding recordkeeping and accounting, non-discrimination in the hiring of personnel, safety, safeguarding confidential information, management qualifications, professional licensing requirements and other matters. If a violation of the terms of an applicable contractual provision occurs, a contractor may be disbarred or suspended from obtaining future contracts for specified periods of time. We have never been disbarred or suspended from seeking procurements by any governmental agency.

Health Care Reform

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, or the Affordable Care Act, will likely have a dramatic effect on health care financing and insurance coverage for Americans.  A portion of the Affordable Care Act, referred to as the "Physician Sunshine Payment" provisions, requires applicable manufacturers of drugs, devices, biological, or medical supplies covered under Medicare, Medicaid or the Children's Health Insurance Program to report annually to the Department of Health and Human Services certain payments or other transfers of value to physicians and teaching hospitals. They also require applicable manufacturers and applicable group purchasing organizations to report certain information regarding the ownership or investment interests held by physicians or the immediate family members of physicians in such entities.  Proposed rules implementing the Physician Sunshine Payment provisions were issued on December 19, 2011.   In light of the scope of health care reform and the Affordable Care Act, a pending challenge before the United States Supreme Court, and the uncertainties associated with how it will be implemented on the state and federal level, we cannot predict its impact on the PositiveID at this time.

Interoperability Standards

The HITECH Act requires meaningful use of certified health information technology products in order to receive certain stimulus payments or incentives from the federal government.  Regulations implementing these meaningful use standards are in various stages of development.  There is an increasing need for health care providers, government agencies, and others in the health care industry to use computer communication and recordkeeping technology that is compatible with other systems.  Many states are developing systems for health information exchange.  To the extent that customers, government entities, and other stakeholders demand that our products, such as iglucose, be compatible with various communication systems, we could be required to incur costs and delays in developing and upgrading our software and products.

Employees

As of July 19, 2012, we had 13 full-time employees, of whom 7 were in management, finance and administration, 4 in product development, and 2 in marketing and business development. We consider our relationship with our employees to be satisfactory and have not experienced any interruptions of our operations as a result of labor disagreements. None of our employees are represented by labor unions or covered by collective bargaining agreements.

Properties

Our corporate headquarters is located in Delray Beach, Florida, where we occupy approximately 8,000 square feet of office space, which space is utilized by our one segment, under a lease that expires on October 1, 2015. Our MicroFluidic subsidiary is based in Pleasanton, California, where we lease approximately 6,250 square feet of office space under a lease that expires on April 30, 2015.  

Legal Proceedings

We are a party to certain legal actions, as either plaintiff or defendant, arising in the ordinary course of business, none of which is expected to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. However, litigation is inherently unpredictable, and the costs and other effects of pending or future litigation, governmental investigations, legal and administrative cases and proceedings, whether civil or criminal, settlements, judgments and investigations, claims or charges in any such matters, and developments or assertions by or against us relating to us or to our intellectual property rights and intellectual property licenses could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.

Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table and Additional Narrative Disclosure


Executive Employment Arrangements


2010 Executive Employment Arrangements


On November 12, 2009, our Compensation Committee approved a 2010 executive compensation arrangement for Messrs. Silverman and Caragol. Beginning in 2010, Mr. Silverman and Mr. Caragol would receive a base salary of $375,000 and $225,000, respectively. Additionally, the Compensation Committee had the authority to approve a discretionary bonus for 2010, a portion of which was guaranteed, to each of Mr. Silverman and Mr. Caragol based on the following factors: development of the rapid virus sensor project, development of the glucose-sensing microchip project, the financial performance of the business of our wholly-owned subsidiary, National Credit Report.com, LLC, strategic acquisitions, the overall financial condition/health of the business, and such other factors as the Compensation Committee deemed appropriate in light of any acquisitions or changes in the business. Mr. Silverman could earn a bonus between $200,000 and $600,000, and Mr. Caragol could earn a bonus between $200,000 and $450,000. Each of Mr. Silverman and Mr. Caragol received 1,000,000 shares of restricted stock under the PositiveID Corporation 2009 Stock Incentive Plan. These restricted shares vest according to the following schedule: (i) 50% vested on January 1, 2011; and (ii) 50% vest on January 1, 2012. Mr. Silverman’s and Mr. Caragol’s rights and interests in the unvested portion of the restricted stock are subject to forfeiture in the event they resign prior to January 1, 2012 or are terminated for cause prior to January 1, 2012, with said cause being defined as a conviction of a felony or such person being prevented from providing services to us as a result of such person’s violation of any law, regulation and/or rule. Mr. Silverman and Mr. Caragol are entitled to Company-paid health insurance, non-allocable expenses of $45,000 and $20,000, respectively, and each are entitled to an automobile allowance and other automobile expenses, including insurance, gasoline and maintenance costs.  


On May 4, 2010, our Compensation Committee approved a change to the above-referenced compensation arrangement and in lieu of (i) cash salary for the remainder of 2010 for Messrs.

2011 Executive Employment Arrangements


On November 10, 2010, our Compensation Committee approved a five year employment and non-compete agreement for Messrs. Silverman and Caragol. Beginning in 2011, Mr. Silverman and Mr. Caragol began receiving a base salary of $375,000 and $225,000, respectively.  Each executive's base salary will increase a minimum of 5% per annum during each calendar year of the term.  During the term, each executive shall receive a minimum annual bonus for each calendar year of the term in an amount equal to a minimum of one (1) times such executive’s base salary.  Additionally, the Compensation Committee has the authority to approve a discretionary bonus for each year of the term. Each of Mr. Silverman and Mr. Caragol received 1,000,000 and 750,000 shares of restricted stock, respectively, under the PositiveID Corporation 2009 Stock Incentive Plan. These restricted shares will vest according to the following schedule: (i) 50% vest on January 1, 2012; and (ii) 50% vest on January 1, 2013. Mr. Silverman’s and Mr. Caragol’s rights and interests in the unvested portion of the restricted stock are subject to forfeiture in the event they resign prior to January 1, 2013 or are terminated for cause prior to January 1, 2013, with said cause being defined as a conviction of a felony or such person being prevented from providing services to us as a result of such person’s violation of any law, regulation and/or rule. Mr. Silverman and Mr. Caragol are entitled to Company-paid health insurance and disability insurance, non-allocable expenses of $45,000 and $25,000, respectively, and each are entitled to use of an automobile leased by us and other automobile expenses, including insurance, gasoline and maintenance costs.  


If Mr. Silverman’s or Mr. Caragol’s employment is terminated prior to the expiration of the term of their respective employment agreements, certain significant payments become due to such executives. The amount of such significant payments depends on the nature of the termination. In addition, the employment agreements contain a change of control provision that provides for the payment of five times the then current base salary and five times the average bonus paid to Mr. Silverman for the three full calendar years immediately prior to the change of control and three times the then current base salary and three times the average bonus paid to Mr. Caragol for the three full calendar years immediately prior to the change of control.  Any outstanding stock options or restricted shares held by such executive as of the date of his termination or a change of control become vested and exercisable as of such date, and remain exercisable during the remaining life of the option.  Upon a change of control, we must continue to pay all leases payments on the vehicle then used by executive. The employment agreements also contain non-compete and confidentiality provisions which are effective from the date of employment through two years from the date the employment agreements are terminated.


On September 30, 2011, our Compensation Committee approved a First Amendment to Employment and Non-Compete Agreement, the First Amendment, between us and Mr. Silverman in connection with Mr. Silverman’s change in position from our chief executive officer to chairman of the Board of Directors. The First Amendment amends the Employment and Non-Compete Agreement dated November 11, 2010 between us and Mr. Silverman and provides for, among other things, the issuance of our restricted stock to Mr. Silverman in the aggregate amount of $3,394,223.20, the Restricted Stock, in lieu of contractually-committed cash salary and bonus for 2012 through 2015. In addition, Mr. Silverman has agreed to forego $45,000 in annual compensation for non-allocable expenses and limit any change of control compensation to $750,000. The Restricted Stock will be issued based upon the average daily VWAP, of our common stock for the five (5) trading days preceding the date of the First Amendment. The VWAP is calculated by dividing the aggregate value of common stock traded on the OTC Bulletin Board (price per share multiplied by number of shares traded) by the total volume (number of shares) of common stock traded on the OTC Bulletin Board for such trading day.


The Restricted Stock is subject to registration rights and price protection provisions, and will be granted upon the earlier of (i) a reverse stock split or (ii) the receipt of stockholder approval to increase the number of authorized shares of our common stock under our second amended and restated certificate of incorporation, as amended, to at least 175 million shares of common stock.  In the event Mr. Silverman resigns on or before January 1, 2012 or in the event Mr. Silverman is terminated for cause on or before January 1, 2013, the Restricted Stock will be subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture.


We will continue to pay Mr. Silverman cash compensation for his base salary until the later of December 31, 2011 or the date the registration statement becomes effective.  The First Amendment also provides that Mr. Silverman will receive his 2011 minimum bonus of $375,000 in twelve (12) equal monthly payments beginning January 1, 2012.


On September 30, 2011, our Compensation Committee approved a two year employment and non-compete agreement for Bryan D. Happ, our chief financial officer. Under the employment agreement, Mr. Happ will receive a base salary of $180,000, subject to a minimum increase of 5% per annum during each calendar year of the term.  During the term, Mr. Happ will be eligible to receive a discretionary bonus for each year of the term with a target incentive compensation between 50% and 100% of his base salary then being paid. Mr. Happ is also entitled to receive Company-paid health and disability insurance during the term of the employment agreement.  If Mr. Happ’s employment is terminated prior to the expiration of the term, certain payments become due.  The amount of such payments depends on the nature of the termination and whether the termination occurs before or after one year from the date of the employment agreement. In the event Mr. Happ is terminated without cause on or before one year from the date of the employment agreement, Mr. Happ is entitled to one times his then current base salary and any bonus paid by us within one year from the date of the employment agreement. In the event Mr. Happ is terminated without cause after one year from the date of the employment agreement, Mr. Happ is entitled to two times his then current base salary and the average bonus paid by us within the last two calendar years (or such lesser period if the employment agreement is terminated less than two years from the date of the employment agreement).


37




In addition, Mr. Happ’s employment agreement contains a change of control provision that provides for the payment of one times the then current base salary and two times the average bonus paid to Mr. Happ for two full calendar years if a change of control occurs on or before one year from the date of the employment agreement; and two times the then current base salary and two times the average bonus paid to Mr. Happ for two full calendar years if a change of control occurs after one year from the date of the employment agreement. Any outstanding stock options and unvested restricted stock held by Mr. Happ as of the date of termination or a change of control shall become vested and exercisable as of such date, and remain exercisable during the life of the option. The employment agreement also contains non-compete and confidentiality provisions which are effective from the date of employment through two years from the date the employment agreement is terminated. On April 24, 2012, the Compensation Committee approved the grant of a discretionary bonus to Mr. Happ in the amount of $50,000.


Amendments to 2011 Executive Employment Arrangements


Mr. Caragol's annual base salary was increased from $225,000 to $275,000 in connection with his appointment as our chief executive officer effective August 26, 2011.


On December 6, 2011, the Compensation Committee approved an Amended and Restated Employment, Consulting and Non-Compete Agreement, or the Amended and Restated Agreement, for Mr. Silverman in connection with his negotiated departure from the Board of Directors as of December 6, 2011, and his continued service as consultant to us until March 1, 2012.  The Amended and Restated Agreement amends and restates the employment and non-compete agreement dated November 11, 2010 between us and Mr. Silverman, as amended on September 30, 2011 by the First Amendment, and provides for, among other things, clarification of the terms of Mr. Silverman’s separation from the Company.  The Amended and Restated Agreement also provides for the full vesting of all outstanding stock options and unvested restricted stock (including all restricted stock issued pursuant to the various employment agreements and arrangements discussed above) on January 2, 2012.  We also granted Mr. Silverman a security interest in substantially all of our assets, or the Security Agreement, until such time as the stock obligations under the Amended and Restated Agreement are fulfilled.


Under the Amended and Restated Agreement, we agreed to satisfy certain contractual obligations of $461,538 pursuant to the Mr. Silverman's First Amendment, or the Contractual Obligations, through the issuance of 2,468,118 shares of common stock from our 2011 Stock Incentive Plan to Mr. Silverman, or the Contractual Obligations Stock, on January 2, 2012. The Contractual Obligations Stock was subject to reduction from 2,468,118 shares to 1,750,000 shares in the event we paid to Mr. Silverman $86,000 in cash compensation on or before December 31, 2011.  If Mr. Silverman did not receive the $86,000 in cash compensation on or before December 31, 2011, and if we received $1,000,000 of proceeds from a financing transaction or a series of financing transactions between December 6, 2011 and the date in which a registration statement registering the Contractual Obligations Stock becomes effective, we will pay to Mr. Silverman $100,000 in cash compensation in 2012 and Mr. Silverman will return 534,789 shares of common stock to us. If a registration statement for the Contractual Obligations Stock does not become effective on or before March 31, 2012, Mr. Silverman may return the Contractual Obligations Stock in exchange for cash compensation in the amount of $461,538, less any cash compensation payments made to Mr. Silverman as described herein.  On January 2, 2012, we issued the Contractual Obligations Stock to Mr. Silverman.


We also agreed to issue shares of restricted stock to Mr. Silverman in the aggregate amount of $3,394,223.20, in lieu of contractually-committed cash salary and bonus for 2012 through 2015, plus compensation for the consulting services, based upon the average daily VWAP of our common stock for the five trading days preceding September 30, 2011, which was $.01874 per share, representing a total of 18,112,182 shares, or the Restricted Stock. The Restricted Stock is subject to registration rights and price protection provisions, and was granted on January 27, 2012, after our stockholders approved an increase in the number of authorized shares of our common stock from 70 million shares to 175 million shares.  Any additional restricted shares issued to Mr. Silverman pursuant to the price protection provisions can never be greater than 50% of the number of shares calculated as of the issuance date, or a maximum of 9,056,091 shares.  In the event Mr. Silverman fails to perform the consulting services without good cause, he will be in breach of the Amended and Restated Agreement and if, upon notice of such breach, Mr. Silverman continues to fail to perform the consulting services for a period of ten days, the Restricted Stock will be subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture. We filed this registration statement on Form S-1 for the resale of the Restricted Stock, or the Registration Statement, with the SEC on January 31, 2012, as amended February 2, 2012 and February 13, 2012.


On March 23, 2012, the Board of Directors approved a First Amendment to Amended and Restated Employment, Consulting and Non-Compete Agreement, or the First Amendment to Amended and Restated Employment Agreement, between the Company and Scott R. Silverman in connection with the elimination of any and all price protection provisions under the Amended and Restated Agreement and any other further registration rights obligations. Under the First Amendment to Amended and Restated Agreement we agreed to issue 13,500,000 shares of restricted stock of the Company to Mr. Silverman on March 23, 2012, or the Price Protection Shares. The Price Protection Shares were issued in order to (i) eliminate any and all price protection provisions under the Amended and Restated Agreement, including, but not limited to, any price protection provisions relating to a reverse stock split, and (ii) any further registration rights obligations.  The Price Protection Shares have been included on a pre-effective amendment to the Registration Statement filed with the SEC on March 28, 2012 and declared effective by the SEC on April 10, 2012. Upon effectiveness of the Registration Statement, the Security Agreement terminated.

On December 6, 2011, the Compensation Committee approved a First Amendment to Employment and Non-Compete Agreement, or the First Amendment, between us and William J. Caragol, our chief executive officer, in connection with Mr. Caragol’s assumption of the position of chairman of the Board of Directors effective December 6, 2011. The First Amendment amends the Employment and Non-Compete Agreement dated November 11, 2010, between us and Mr. Caragol and provides for, among other things, the elimination of any future guaranteed raises and bonuses, other than a 2011 bonus of $375,000  to be paid beginning January 1, 2012 in twelve (12) equal monthly payments. If in the reasonable discretion of the Board of Directors, we are unable to make the scheduled cash bonus payments, we shall have the option of (i) delaying payment(s), (ii) paying Mr. Caragol in restricted stock of the Company, or (iii) reaching some other mutually agreeable resolution with Mr. Caragol.  In addition, the First Amendment amends the change of control provision by increasing the multiplier from 3 to 5 and capping any change in control compensation to 10% of the transaction value.  The First Amendment also obligates us to grant to Mr. Caragol an aggregate of 12,500,000 shares of restricted stock over a 4 year period as follows: (i) 2,500,000 shares upon execution of the First Amendment, which shall vest on January 1, 2014, (ii) 2,500,000 shares on January 1, 2012, which shall vest on January 1, 2015, (iii) 2,500,000 shares on January 1, 2013, which shall vest on January 1, 2015, (iv) 2,500,000 shares on January 1, 2014, which shall vest on January 1, 2016, and (v) 2,500,000 shares on January 1, 2015, which shall vest on January 1, 2016.  We and Mr. Caragol agreed to delay the issuance of the first and second restricted share grants, for a total of 5,000,000 shares, until we have available shares under one of our stock incentive plans.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

The following table sets forth certain information known to us regarding beneficial ownership of shares of our common stock as of July 19, 2012 by:


·

each of our directors;

·

each of our named executive officers;

·

all of our executive officers and directors as a group; and

·

each person, or group of affiliated persons, known to us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our outstanding shares of common stock.

 

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC and includes voting and investment power with respect to the securities. In computing the number of shares beneficially owned by a person and the percentage ownership of that person, shares of common stock subject to options or warrants held by that person that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of July 19, 2012 are deemed outstanding. Such shares, however, are not deemed outstanding for purposes of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. To our knowledge, except as indicated in the footnotes to this table and subject to community property laws where applicable, the persons named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of our common stock shown opposite such person’s name. The percentage of beneficial ownership is based on 135,346,089 shares of our common stock outstanding as of July 19, 2012. Unless otherwise noted below, the address of the persons and entities listed in the table is c/o PositiveID Corporation, 1690 South Congress Avenue, Suite 200, Delray Beach, Florida 33445.

For purposes of calculating the percent of class, we have assumed that there were a total of 135,346,089 shares of our common stock outstanding such that 13,534,608 shares beneficially owned would represent approximately 9.99% of the outstanding common stock. The 9.99% ownership limitation does not prevent Ironridge from selling some of its holdings and then receiving additional shares.  In this way, Ironridge could sell more than the 9.99% ownership limitation while never holding more than this limit. The Series F Preferred Stock and the Series H Preferred Stock each have a provision precluding the applicable Ironridge entity from converting any shares of Series F Preferred Stock or Series H Preferred Stock if such conversion would result in Ironridge being deemed to beneficially own or control more than 9.99% of our outstanding common stock. Subject to the foregoing overall limitation, shares include (1) 11,057,174 shares of common stock beneficially owned by Ironridge, (2) 1,060,000 shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the 159 remaining shares of Series H Preferred Stock, (3) a number of shares of common stock, valued at the lower of $0.15 or a 15% discount to the closing bid price at time of issuance, that we may choose to issue in lieu of cash as payment of 4.5% dividends on the Series H Preferred Stock, (4) 2,052,000 shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of 1,026 shares of the Series F Preferred Stock, and (5) a number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of any additional shares of Series F Preferred Stock that we may choose to issue in lieu of cash as payment of the 7.65% dividends on the Series F Preferred Stock.

(3)   Mr. Caragol beneficially owns 3,125,000 shares, which includes 250,000 shares issuable upon the exercise of warrants and 50,000 shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of July 19, 2012. Mr. Caragol has sole voting power over 3,125,000 shares of our common stock. Mr. Caragol has sole dispositive power over 2,750,000 shares of our common stock. Mr. Caragol lacks dispositive power over 375,000 shares which are restricted as to transfer until January 1, 2013. This does not include the 5,000,000 shares of restricted common stock to be issued to Mr. Caragol pursuant to his amended employment and non-compete agreement dated December 7, 2011. See the discussion under "Our Management—Executive Compensation" for a description of Mr. Caragol’s amended employment and non-compete agreement.

(4)   Represents 600,000 shares of our common stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of July 19, 2012.

(5)   Includes 370,000 shares of our common stock and 143,750 shares of our common stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of July 19, 2012.

(6)   Includes 370,000 shares of our common stock and 275,000 shares of our common stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of July 19, 2012.

(7)   Includes 570,000 shares of our common stock and 100,000 shares of our common stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of July 19, 2012.

(8)   Includes shares of our common stock beneficially owned by current executive officers and directors and shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of July 19, 2012, in each case as set forth in the footnotes to this table.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Since the beginning of our fiscal year 2010, there has not been, and there is not currently proposed, any transaction or series of similar transactions in which the amount involved exceeded or will exceed the lesser of $120,000 or one percent of the average of our total assets at year end for the last two completed fiscal years and in which any related person, including any director, executive officer, holder of more than 5% of our capital stock during such period, or entities affiliated with them, had a material interest, other than as described in the transactions set forth below.

Director and Officer Roles and Relationships

By virtue of the relationships described below, certain of directors and executive officers may face situations in which there are actual or apparent conflicts of interest that could interfere, or appear to interfere, with their ability to act in a manner that is in our best business interests.  In addition, as further described below, several of our directors and executive officers have served as directors and officers of Digital Angel, which held 45.7% of our stock at the time it sold such stock to R & R Consulting Partners, LLC (an entity owned and controlled by Mr. Silverman) on November 12, 2008, and its other affiliates.  Although we are no longer listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, each of these relationships was considered in determining whether a director is independent under the standards of the Nasdaq Capital Market.

At the Board level:


·

Our former chairman, Scott R. Silverman, served as chairman of the Board of Directors of Steel Vault until November 10, 2009, in which Digital Angel held a 49.9% ownership interest until August 1, 2008.  In addition, Mr. Silverman is the managing member of R & R Consulting Partners, LLC, which holds 2,785,008 shares of our common stock.  In January 2012, VeriTeQ, a company owned and controlled by Mr. Silverman, purchased all of the outstanding stock of our wholly-owned subsidiary, Animal Health in exchange for a secured promissory note and a 10% ownership interest in VeriTeQ.

·

Michael E. Krawitz served on the Board of Directors of Steel Vault until November 10, 2009. Mr. Krawitz, along with Messrs. Silverman and Caragol, is a manager and member of Sah-Vul Strategic Partners I, LLC, a securities holding company. On February 6, 2012, Mr. Krawitz began serving on the Board of Directors of VeriTeQ.

·

Blue Moon owns a warrant to purchase 54,000 shares of our common stock. Mr. Silverman is a manager and controls a member of Blue Moon (i.e., R & R). In addition, William J. Caragol, our chairman of the Board of Directors and chief executive officer, Jeffrey S. Cobb and Barry M. Edelstein, both of whom are members of our Board of Directors, each own a 16.67% interest in Blue Moon.

·

William J. Caragol, our chairman of the Board of Directors and chief executive officer, served as chief executive officer, president, acting chief financial officer and director of Steel Vault before September 4, 2009, when we, VeriChip Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and our wholly-owned subsidiary, and Steel Vault signed an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, as amended, pursuant to which VeriChip Acquisition Corp. was merged with and into Steel Vault on November 10, 2009, with Steel Vault surviving and becoming our wholly-owned subsidiary, which we refer to as the Merger. On February 6, 2012, Mr. Caragol began serving on the Board of Directors of VeriTeQ.

·

In 2010, Ned L. Siegel provided consulting services to us before becoming a director for which he received 50,000 shares of our common stock on each of January 4, 2010 and July 7, 2010, worth an aggregate of $101,500 based on the closing price of a share of our common stock on the date of grant.


Related Party Transactions

Transaction between Blue Moon and Steel Vault

On March 20, 2009, Steel Vault closed a debt financing transaction with Blue Moon for $190,000 pursuant to a secured convertible promissory note. The note was payable on demand after March 20, 2011, accrued interest at five percent per year compounded monthly and was secured by substantially all of Steel Vault’s assets pursuant to a security agreement between Steel Vault and Blue Moon. The note could be prepaid at any time without penalty.

Under the note, Blue Moon had the right, at any time, in its sole discretion to convert the entire unpaid principal amount and accrued and unpaid interest on the note into that number of shares of Steel Vault’s common stock at a price of $0.44 per share. Steel Vault could convert the note into its common stock anytime after a change in control of Steel Vault or if the average of the high and low trading prices of Steel Vault’s common stock as quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board was greater than 120% of the conversion price ($0.44 per share) over 20 consecutive trading days. However, as a condition of our obligation to consummate the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, Steel Vault caused the note to be amended on terms reasonably acceptable to us to eliminate the convertible feature of such note. In addition, Blue Moon received a common stock purchase warrant from Steel Vault, which carries piggy-back registration rights, to purchase 108,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $0.44 per share. Following the Merger, the warrant is now exercisable for 54,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $0.88 per share. Steel Vault repaid both the principal and interest accrued thereon on the Blue Moon obligation in full on November 10, 2009 in the amounts of $190,000 and $6,000, respectively, and the warrant to purchase our common stock remains outstanding.

Related Party Financing

On June 4, 2009, we closed a debt financing transaction with Steel Vault for $500,000 pursuant to a secured convertible promissory note. The two year note was collectible on demand on or after June 4, 2010, accrued interest at a rate of twelve percent and was secured by substantially all of Steel Vault’s assets, including the assets of National Credit Report.com, LLC and the security interest held by us on the assets was senior to any other security interest on the assets pursuant to a Subordination and Intercreditor Agreement between us and Blue Moon. The note could be prepaid at any time without penalty and matured on June 4, 2011. The unpaid principal and accrued and unpaid interest under the note could be converted at any time into common stock of Steel Vault at a price of $0.30 per share. The principal was convertible into 1,666,667 shares of Steel Vault common stock.

The financing transaction included a common stock purchase warrant sold to us to purchase 333,334 common shares of Steel Vault at a price of $0.30 per share, which we refer to as the Steel Vault Warrant. The Steel Vault Warrant was void after June 4, 2014. The note and Steel Vault Warrant were issued to us pursuant to a Convertible Note and Warrant Subscription Agreement, dated June 4, 2009, between us and Steel Vault, which provided that Steel Vault would file a registration statement for the public resale of the shares underlying the note and Steel Vault Warrant upon notice that we elected to convert all or part of the note into common stock of Steel Vault.

The financing transaction also included a guaranty of collection given by Mr. Caragol for the benefit of Steel Vault, for which Mr. Caragol received a common stock purchase warrant from Steel Vault to purchase 500,000 common shares of Steel Vault at a price of $0.30 per share.

Upon consummation of the Merger, we forgave the principal and interest due under the note and the Steel Vault Warrant was cancelled. Mr. Caragol received a common stock purchase warrant from us to purchase 250,000 common shares of our stock at a price of $0.60 per share in exchange for his Steel Vault warrant.

Financing Transaction with Optimus

On September 29, 2009, we entered into a Convertible Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement, or the Purchase Agreement, with Optimus, under which Optimus was committed to purchase up to $10 million shares of our convertible Series A Preferred Stock, or the Series A Preferred Stock, in one or more tranches.

Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement and the Amended Purchase Agreement described below with Optimus, we were able to sell convertible preferred shares, from time to time in one or more tranches, to Optimus.  From time to time and at our sole discretion, we could present Optimus with a notice to purchase such convertible preferred shares. Optimus was obligated to purchase such convertible preferred shares on the twentieth trading day after the notice date, subject to satisfaction of certain closing conditions.  

We are a small cap company with limited sources of capital.  Optimus presented this transaction to us to assist us with our financing needs.  One of Optimus' requirements under this transaction was that one or more stockholders of the Company agree to loan Optimus shares of stock of the Company owned by the lending stockholder.  To facilitate the transaction contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, R & R Consulting Partners, LLC, a company controlled by Mr. Silverman, our former chairman and chief executive officer, loaned shares of common stock to Optimus equal to 135% of the aggregate purchase price for each tranche pursuant to stock loan agreements between R & R Consulting Partners, LLC and Optimus. For entering into the stock loan agreements, R & R Consulting Partners, LLC was paid by Optimus an aggregate of a $102,000 fee plus 29,452 shares received as interest under the stock loan agreements. R & R Consulting Partners, LLC could demand return of some or all of the borrowed shares (or an equal number of freely tradable shares of common stock) at any time on or after the six-month anniversary date such borrowed shares were loaned to Optimus, but no such demand could be made if there were any shares of Preferred Stock then outstanding. We were advised by Optimus that Optimus would then sell the borrowed shares into the market and use the proceeds from the sale of such shares to fund the purchase of the preferred stock under the Purchase Agreement and the Amended Purchase Agreement described below.  On or after the six month anniversary of the issuance date, the preferred stock could be converted by us into shares of our common stock and the lending stockholders could simultaneously demand return of the borrowed shares from Optimus.  Optimus was able to use the shares it received upon conversion of the convertible preferred shares to replace the borrowed shares.  


On September 29, 2009, October 8, 2009, and October 21, 2009, R & R Consulting Partners, LLC loaned Optimus 1.3 million, 800,000 and 600,000 shares, respectively, of our common stock as is further discussed below.


On September 29, 2009, we exercised the first tranche of this financing, to issue 296 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, for a tranche amount of approximately $3.0 million. In support of this tranche, R & R Consulting Partners, LLC loaned Optimus 1.3 million shares of common stock. This tranche closed on October 13, 2009, and we received proceeds of approximately $3.0 million, less the fees due on the entire financing commitment of $800,000. We considered exercising a tranche on October 8, 2009 and as a result R & R Consulting Partners, LLC loaned Optimus 800,000 shares.  We decided to delay issuing a tranche notice until October 21, 2009.  On October 21, 2009, we exercised the second tranche of this financing, to issue 240 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, for a tranche amount of approximately $3.0 million.   The Purchase Agreement provided that in the event the closing bid price of our common stock during any one or more of the nine trading days following the delivery of a notice falls below 75% of the closing bid price on the


44




trading day prior to the notice date and Optimus determines not to complete the tranche closing, then we may, at our option, proceed to issue some or all of the applicable shares, provided that the conversion price for the Series A Preferred Stock that is issued shall reset at the lowest closing bid price for such nine trading day period.  Our stock price fell below 75% of the closing bid price on one or more of the nine trading days following our delivery of a tranche notice.  As a result, on November 5, 2009, we closed the second tranche of this financing, issuing 166 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, for a tranche amount of approximately $1.7 million, and the conversion price was reset to $1.60 per share. In support of this tranche, R & R Consulting Partners, LLC loaned Optimus an additional 600,000 shares for an aggregate of 1.4 million shares of common stock under two stock loan agreements to complete this tranche.  Additionally, on October 20, 2009, Mr. Silverman sold Optimus 750,000 shares of our common stock that he owned in a private transaction.


On May 12, 2010, R & R Consulting Partners, LLC demanded the return of 2.7 million shares loaned to Optimus.  Also on May 12, 2010, we sent Optimus a notice of our election to convert all of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock into 2,729,452 shares of our common stock.  Optimus returned these shares to R & R Consulting Partners, LLC in repayment of the loan. The conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock was determined by a fixed conversion price that was determined at the time of the closings of the Preferred Stock which were approximately $3.07 and $1.60, respectively. We were required to issue make-whole shares to Optimus equal to 35% of the Series A Liquidation Value ($10,000 per share of Series A Preferred Stock) because the Series A Preferred Stock was redeemed prior the first anniversary of the issuance date.  On October 13, 2010, we filed a Certificate of Elimination with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware effecting the elimination of the Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series A Preferred Stock.    


On March 14, 2011, we entered into an Amended and Restated Convertible Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement, or the Amended Purchase Agreement, with Optimus.   The Amended Purchase Agreement amends and restates the Purchase Agreement, and, among other things, specifically (i) replaces the Series A Preferred Stock issuable under the Purchase Agreement with a Series C Preferred Stock with substantially similar terms, and (ii) reduces the maximum amount of preferred stock issuable to Optimus under the Purchase Agreement from $10,000,000 to $8,700,000, of which $4,700,000 worth was already issued in 2009 under the Purchase Agreement as described above.   


On March 14, 2011, we delivered a Notice to Optimus to sell 140 shares of our Series C Preferred Stock for a tranche amount of approximately $1.4 million. In support of this tranche, on March 14, 2011, R & R Consulting Partners, LLC loaned 2,729,452 shares, Mr. Silverman loaned 70,548 shares and Mr. Caragol loaned 700,000 shares of our common stock to Optimus. The lending stockholders were paid by Optimus an aggregate of a $150,000 fee for entering into the stock loan agreements. On April 12, 2011 the tranche closed and we received the $1.4 million of proceeds, less $100,000 that was paid to Optimus to waive the requirement under the Amended Purchase Agreement that the conversion price of the Series C Preferred Stock issued in the tranche be reset at the lowest closing bid price for the 19 trading days following the tranche notice date, which was March 14, 2011, due to the closing bid price of a share of our common stock falling below 75% during such 19 trading day period.


On October 12, 2011, we converted our Series C Preferred Stock into 3,500,000 shares of common stock, and Mr. Caragol, Mr. Silverman and R & R Consulting Partners, LLC demanded return of their loaned shares.  The conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock was determined by a fixed conversion price that was determined at the time of the closing of the Preferred Stock which was approximately $0.60.  Optimus, the holder of the Series C Preferred Stock, defaulted under the stock loan agreements by failing to return the loaned shares to Mr. Caragol, Mr. Silverman and R & R Consulting Partners, LLC within three trading days after such demand.  Optimus secured the stock loan agreements with the Series C Preferred Stock.  The Series C Preferred Stock always remained in the possession of Mr. Caragol, Mr. Silverman and R & R Consulting Partners, LLC.  After Optimus failed to return the loaned shares by October 17, 2011, Mr. Caragol, Mr. Silverman and R & R Consulting Partners, LLC began the process of repossessing the collateral, consisting of the common stock underlying the Series C Preferred Stock.  On October 18, 2011, Mr. Caragol, Mr. Silverman and R & R Consulting Partners, LLC sent Optimus an official notice of repossession and disposition of collateral under Section 9-611 and 9-613 of the Uniform Commercial Code, as currently in effect in the State of New York.  Optimus did not respond to the notice of repossession or return the loaned shares by October 28, 2011, and the lending stockholders had the legal right to have the shares re-registered in their own names.  Once the repossession process was completed, Mr. Caragol, Mr. Silverman and R & R Consulting Partners, LLC became the beneficial owners of the shares. On November 22, 2011, we agreed to issue 2,729,452 shares of common stock to R & R Consulting Partners, LLC, 700,000 shares of common stock to Mr. Caragol, and 70,548 shares of common stock to Mr. Silverman. The shares issued to Mr. Caragol, Mr. Silverman and R & R Consulting Partners, LLC were issued in exchange for the 3,500,000 shares that were issued upon conversion of the our Series C Preferred Stock and which were pledged to Mr. Caragol, Mr. Silverman, and R & R Consulting Partners, LLC. These securities were issued without registration in reliance upon the exemption provided by Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933. On January 27, 2012, we issued an aggregate of 3,500,000 shares of common stock to R & R Consulting Partners, LLC, Mr. Silverman and Mr. Caragol to make the lending stockholders whole.  The securities that were originally issued upon conversion remain outstanding but have no voting, dividend, distribution or other rights of common stockholders. Further, Optimus has indicated in a public filing the absence of beneficial ownership of the 3,500,000 shares of common stock.  The Company believes that, while the transfer agent has not yet cancelled the original 3,500,000 shares, no requirements exist that legally prevent such cancellation from being effectuated.

VeriTeQ Transaction

On January 11, 2012, we contributed certain assets and liabilities related to the VeriChip business, as well as, all of our assets and liabilities relating to our Health Link business which is a patient-controlled, online repository to store personal health information to our wholly-owned subsidiary, Animal Health.  We ceased actively marketing the VeriChip business in January 2008 and the Health Link business in September, 2010.  The term “VeriChip business” does not include the GlucoChip, a glucose-sensing microchip, based on our proprietary intellectual property, or any product or application involving blood glucose detection or diabetes management.  

On January 11, 2012, VeriTeQ, which is owned and controlled by Mr. Silverman, purchased all of the outstanding capital stock of Animal Health in exchange for a secured promissory note in the amount of $200,000 and 4 million shares of common stock of VeriTeQ representing a 10% ownership interest, to which no value was ascribed.  In connection with the sale, we entered into the License Agreement with VeriTeQ dated January 11, 2012 which grants VeriTeQ a license to utilize our bio-sensor implantable RFID device that is protected under United States Patent No. 7,125,382, “Embedded Bio Sensor System” for the purpose of designing and constructing, using, selling and offering to sell products or services related to the VeriChip business, but excluding the GlucoChip, or any product or application involving blood glucose detection or diabetes management.  We will receive royalties in the amount of ten percent on all gross revenues arising out of or relating to VeriTeQ’s sale of products, whether by license or otherwise, specifically relating to the patent, and a royalty of twenty percent on gross revenues that are generated under the Development and Supply Agreement between us and Medcomp dated April 2, 2009. Our right to the Medcomp royalty payments terminates three years following written clearance by the United States Food and Drug Administration of the Medcomp product that incorporates the VeriChip product. We have not recorded the promissory note received from VeriTeQ in our balance sheet and currently plan to recognize the $200,000 gain represented by the note as the note is collected.

We also entered into a Shared Services Agreement with VeriTeQ on January 11, 2012 which requires that we provide certain services to VeriTeQ in exchange for $30,000 per month.  The term of the Shared Services Agreement commenced on January 23, 2012. The first payment for such services is not payable until VeriTeQ receives gross proceeds of a financing of at least $500,000.

In addition, on February 6, 2012, Mr. Caragol, our Chairman of the Board and chief executive officer, and Mr. Krawitz, began serving on the Board of Directors of VeriTeQ.

On June 25, 2012, the Shared Services Agreement was amended, pursuant to which all amounts owed to us under the Shared Services Agreement as of May 31, 2012, totaling approximately $160,000, were converted into 2,285,779 shares of common stock of VeriTeQ, to which no value was ascribed. In addition, effective June 1, 2012, the monthly charge for the shared services under the Shared Services Agreement was reduced from $30,000 to $12,000. Furthermore, on June 26, 2012, the License Agreement was amended pursuant to which the license was converted from a non-exclusive license to an exclusive license, subject to VeriTeQ meeting certain minimum royalty requirements as follows: 2013 - $400,000; 2014 - $800,000; and 2015 and thereafter - $1,600,000.


Review, Approval or Ratification of Transactions with Related Parties

Our audit committee’s charter requires review and discussion of any transactions or courses of dealing with parties related to us that are significant in size or involve terms or other aspects that differ from those that would be negotiated with independent parties.

IRONRIDGE TRANSACTION


On July 12, 2012, we entered into the Stock Purchase Agreement with Ironridge which provides that 15 trading days after a registration statement registering the resale of shares Ironridge may receive under the Stock Purchase Agreement is declared effective by the SEC, we have the obligation to sell to Ironridge, and Ironridge must purchase from us, up to $10,000,000 of shares of our common stock over a 24-month period beginning on such date. We will do continuous drawdowns of 2,000,000 shares under the Stock Purchase Agreement unless we send a notice suspending the drawdowns. The drawdown pricing period is the number of consecutive trading days necessary for 6,000,000 shares of our common stock to trade, provided that for the first drawdown, the draw down pricing period is the 15 day trading period after the effective date. Only one drawdown will be allowed in each drawdown pricing period.  


The price per share will be equal to 90% of the average of the daily VWAP, on each trading day during the drawdown pricing period preceding the current drawdown pricing period, not to exceed the arithmetic average of any three daily VWAPs during the drawdown pricing period preceding such current drawdown pricing period. The price paid per share under each put will be, in effect, the average of the three lowest daily VWAPs during the prior pricing period. To the extent Ironridge purchases and then sells its common stock under the Stock Purchase Agreement, the common stock price may decrease due to the additional shares in the market. This could allow Ironridge to receive greater amounts of common stock in subsequent puts by us, the sales of which could further dilute the interests of other stockholders. For purposes of a recommencement of drawdowns following a suspension of drawdowns, the purchase price per share will be equal to the lower of the foregoing and the closing price of our common stock on the trading day prior to the recommencement date.  For purposes of the first drawdown, the price per share will be equal to the VWAP for the 15 consecutive trading days after the effective date of the registration statement.


Ironridge will also receive a commitment fee of 3,000,000 shares of our common stock issuable upon effectiveness of this registration statement.  


The terms of the equity line require us to continuously put shares to Ironridge if all conditions are met unless we suspend the puts. Suspension of a put does not preclude us from executing a put option in periods that follow.


No sale of shares by us to Ironridge may be made under the Stock Purchase Agreement if Ironridge would beneficially own more than 9.99% of our outstanding shares. The 9.99% ownership limitation does not prevent Ironridge from selling some of its holdings and then receiving additional shares.  In this way, Ironridge could sell more than the 9.99% ownership limitation while never holding more than this limit. The customary terms and conditions associated with Ironridge’s registration rights are set forth in a Registration Rights Agreement that was also entered into by us and Ironridge on July 12, 2012.


The following are the conditions to Ironridge’s obligation to purchase shares:


·

trading in our common stock must not be suspended by the SEC or other applicable trading market;

·

we must not have experienced a material adverse effect;

·

all liquidated damages and other amounts owing to Ironridge must be paid in full; the registration statement, of which this prospectus form a part, must be effective with respect to Ironridge’s resale of all shares purchased under the equity drawdown facility;

·

there must be a sufficient number of authorized but unissued shares of our common stock to sell to Ironridge; and

·

the issuance must not cause Ironridge to own more than 9.99% of the then outstanding shares of our common stock.


The Stock Purchase Agreement will terminate if:


·

our common stock is not listed on one of several specified trading markets (which include the NYSE AMEX, OTC Bulletin Board and Pink Sheets, among others);

·

we file for protection from our creditors; or

·

the registration statement is not declared effective by the SEC by the 90th calendar day following the date we entered into the Stock Purchase Agreement.


We may terminate the Stock Purchase Agreement with three days’ notice if Ironridge fails to fund any properly noticed drawdown with five trading days.

The Stock Purchase Agreement also contains certain representations and warranties of us and Ironridge, including customary investment-related representations provided by Ironridge, as well as acknowledgements by Ironridge that it has reviewed certain disclosures by us (including the periodic reports that we have filed with the SEC) and that our issuance of the shares has not been


47




registered with the SEC or qualified under any state securities laws. We provided customary representations regarding, among other things, our organization, capital structure, subsidiaries, disclosure reports, absence of certain legal or governmental proceedings, financial statements, tax matters, insurance matters, real property and other assets, and compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Our representations and warranties are qualified in their entirety (to the extent applicable) by our disclosures in the reports we file with the SEC.

Under the Registration Rights Agreement, we granted to Ironridge registration rights relating to the shares that may be issued under the  Stock Purchase Agreement. Under the Registration Rights Agreement, we agreed to prepare and file with the SEC one or more registration statements to register the resale of the maximum shares of common stock issuable pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, or the Registrable Securities. We agreed to file this initial registration statement with the SEC by July 31, 2012 and to cause such registration statement to be declared effective within 90 days following the date we entered into the Stock Purchase Agreement. We are also required to amend this registration statement or file with the SEC additional registration statements as necessary to allow the continued registered resale of all of the Registrable Securities. We also agreed to indemnify Ironridge and its affiliates against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. Ironridge has agreed to indemnify us and our affiliates for losses under securities laws for any material omissions or misstatements with respect to information provided by Ironridge for inclusion in the registration statement covering the resale by Ironridge of shares sold to it under the Stock Purchase Agreement, subject to certain limitations.

The shares to be issued by us to Ironridge under the Stock Purchase Agreement were issued in a private placement in reliance on the exemption from the registration requirements set forth in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, and the underlying rules.

SELLING SECURITY HOLDERS


Ironridge is a selling security holder with respect to up to 34,000,000 shares of our common stock that are issuable to it under the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement.


The table below lists the following information with respect to Ironridge: (i) the number of outstanding shares of common stock beneficially owned by Ironridge prior to this offering; (ii) the number of shares of common stock offered by Ironridge in this offering; (iii) the number of shares of common stock to be beneficially owned Ironridge after the completion of this offering, assuming the sale of all of the shares of common stock offered by Ironridge; and (iv) the percentage of outstanding shares of common stock to be beneficially owned by the selling security holder after the completion of this offering, assuming the sale of all of the shares of common stock offered by Ironridge.

 

Information presented in the table below is from Ironridge, the reports furnished to us under rules of the SEC, and our stock ownership records.

 

The information regarding shares beneficially owned by Ironridge prior to the offering assumes that the shares that may at our discretion be sold to Ironridge under the Stock Purchase Agreement and that are included in this prospectus are issued, but we may ultimately direct Ironridge to purchase some, none or all of these shares and accordingly this information is provided only on this assumed basis.  The aggregate number of shares of our common stock in this offering constitutes approximately 25% of the outstanding shares of our common stock, based on 135,346,089 shares of common stock outstanding as of July 19, 2012.

 

Ironridge may, from time to time, sell all, some or none of their shares in this offering. See “Plan of Distribution” below. No estimate can be given as to the number of shares that will be held by the selling security holders after completion of this offering, because the selling security holders may offer some or all of the shares, and, to our knowledge, there are currently no agreements, arrangements or understandings with respect to the sale of any of the shares. Ironridge is not a broker-dealer or affiliate of a broker-dealer.

The Series F Preferred Stock and the Series H Preferred Stock each have a provision precluding the applicable Ironridge entity from converting any shares of Series F Preferred Stock or Series H Preferred Stock if such conversion would result in Ironridge being deemed to beneficially own or control more than 9.99% of our outstanding common stock. The 9.99% ownership limitation does not prevent Ironridge from selling some of its holdings and then receiving additional shares.  In this way, Ironridge could sell more than the 9.99% ownership limitation while never holding more than this limit. Subject to the foregoing overall limitation, shares include (1) 34,000,000 shares, which is the number of shares of common stock under the Stock Purchase Agreement that are being registered under this registration statement, (2) 11,057,174 shares of common stock beneficially owned by Ironridge, (3) 1,060,000 shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the 159 remaining shares of Series H Preferred Stock, (4) a number of shares of common stock, valued at the lower of $0.15 or a 15% discount to the closing bid price at time of issuance, that we may choose to issue in lieu of cash as payment of 4.5% dividends on the Series H Preferred Stock, (5) 2,052,000 shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the 1,026 remaining shares of the Series F Preferred Stock, and (6) a number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of any additional shares of Series F Preferred Stock that we may choose to issue in lieu of cash as payment of the 7.65% dividends on the Series F Preferred Stock. We may sell some, none or all of the 34,000,000 shares of common stock to Ironridge and Ironridge does not have the right to acquire or vote or have investment power with respect to any of these 34,000,000 shares of common stock unless and until such shares are actually sold to Ironridge. Accordingly, Ironridge disclaims beneficial ownership of these shares.

 

 

(3)

Includes 34,000,000 shares, which is the maximum number of shares of common stock under the Stock Purchase Agreement that are being registered under this registration statement.  We may sell some, none or all of the 34,000,000 shares of common stock to Ironridge.

 

To our knowledge, the preceding table represents the holdings by Ironridge. Information concerning Ironridge may change from time to time, which changed information will be set forth in supplements to this prospectus if and when necessary. Because Ironridge may offer all or some of the common stock that it holds, we can only give an estimate as to the amount of common stock that will be held by the selling security holders upon the termination of this offering.  See “Plan of Distribution.”

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION


Ironridge and any of its pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions.  These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices.  


Ironridge may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:


·

ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

·

block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

·

purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

·

an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

·

privately negotiated transactions;

·

settlement of short sales entered into after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part;

·

broker-dealers may agree with the Selling Stockholder to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;

·

through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;

·

a combination of any such methods of sale; or

·

any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.


Broker-dealers engaged by Ironridge may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales.  Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from Ironridge (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2440; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with FINRA IM-2440.  


In connection with the sale of the common stock or interests therein, Ironridge may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the common stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume.  Ironridge may also sell shares of the common stock short and deliver these securities to close out its short position, or loan or pledge the common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities; provided, that Ironridge has agreed with us to not create any net short position in our common stock during the term of the Stock Purchase Agreement or for a period of 90 days thereafter.  Ironridge may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or create one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).


Ironridge is an underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales.  In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act.  Ironridge has informed us that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the common stock. In no event shall any broker-dealer receive fees, commissions and markups which, in the aggregate, would exceed eight percent (8%).


We are required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by us incident to the registration of the shares.  We have agreed to indemnify Ironridge against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.  


Because Ironridge is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act, it will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act including Rule 172 thereunder. There is no underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with the proposed sale of the resale shares by Ironridge.

DESCRIPTION OF COMMON STOCK AND PREFERRED STOCK

On May 31, 2012, our stockholders approved an increase in the number of authorized shares of our common stock from 175,000,000 shares to 470,000,000 shares. As of May 31, 2012, our Certificate of Incorporation authorizes us to issue 470,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share of which 400 shares have been previously designated as Series C Preferred Stock, of which none are currently issued and outstanding, 2,500 have been previously designated as Series F Preferred Stock, of which 974 shares have been converted into a total of 34,704,193 shares of our common stock and 1,026 shares are currently issued and outstanding, and 500 shares have been previously designated as Series H Preferred Stock, of which 341 shares have been converted into a total of 3,803,667 shares of our common stock and 159 shares are currently issued and outstanding. As of July 19, 2012, 135,346,089 shares of our common stock were outstanding.


The following description of our common stock and preferred stock is a summary.  It is not complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, and Amended and Restated Bylaws, each as amended to date, and a copy of each of which has been incorporated as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus supplement forms a part.


Common Stock


As of July 19, 2012, there were 135,346,089 shares of our common stock outstanding and held of record by approximately 61 stockholders. The holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters properly submitted to a vote of the holders of common stock. Subject to the rights of the holders of one or more series of preferred stock, voting separately by class or series, to elect directors pursuant to the terms of one or more series of preferred stock, the election of directors is determined by a plurality of the votes cast by the stockholders present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote thereon. All other matters are determined by the vote of a majority of the votes cast by the stockholders present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote thereon, unless the matter is one upon which, by applicable law, our second amended and restated certificate of incorporation, our amended and restated by-laws or applicable stock exchange rules, a different vote is required, in which case such provision shall govern and control the decision of such matter. Subject to preferences that may be applicable to any then-outstanding preferred stock, holders of our common stock are entitled to receive ratably such dividends and other distributions as may be declared by our board of directors, out of assets or funds legally available. In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, holders of our common stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining after payment of liabilities and the liquidation preference of any then-outstanding preferred stock.


Preferred Stock


Our Board of Directors has the authority, without further action by the stockholders, to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series, and to fix the designations, powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional and other special rights, if any, of each such class or series and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, including dividend rights, conversion rights, voting rights, sinking-fund provisions, terms of redemption, liquidation preferences, preemption rights, and the number of shares constituting any series or the designation of such series, without any further vote or action by the stockholders. The issuance of preferred stock could adversely affect the voting power of holders of our common stock and could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of us.  


Series C Preferred Stock


On March 14, 2011, we filed a certificate of designations of preferences, rights and limitations of Series C Preferred Stock with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and the number of shares so designated is 400, par value $0.001.   As of July 19, 2012, there were no shares of Series C Preferred Stock outstanding.


The Series C Preferred Stock ranks, with respect to rights upon liquidation, winding-up or dissolution, senior to our common stock and any other classes of stock or series of our preferred stock and junior to our existing and future indebtedness.  Otherwise, holders of the Series C Preferred Stock will not be entitled to receive dividends and will have no right to vote on any matters, questions or proceedings, including, without limitation, the election of directors.


Holders of Series C Preferred Stock are entitled to receive dividends on each outstanding share of Series C Preferred Stock, which accrues in shares of Series C Preferred Stock at a rate equal to 10% per annum from the date of issuance. Accrued dividends are payable annually on the anniversary of the issuance date.


52




Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up after payment or provision for payment of our debts and other liabilities, before any distribution or payment is made to the holders of any other class or series of stock, the holders of Series C Preferred Stock are first entitled to be paid out of our assets available for distribution to our stockholders an amount with respect to the Series C Liquidation Value, after which any of our remaining assets shall be distributed among the holders of the other class or series of stock in accordance with our Certificates of Designations and Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended.


We may redeem, for cash, any or all of the Series C Preferred Stock at any time at the redemption price per share equal to $10,000 per share of Series C Preferred Stock, which we refer to as the Series C Liquidation Value, plus any accrued but unpaid dividends with respect to such shares of Series C Preferred Stock, which we refer to as the Redemption Price. If we exercise this redemption option with respect to any Series C Preferred Stock prior to the fourth anniversary of the issuance of the Series C Preferred Stock, then in addition to the Redemption Price, we must pay to the holder a make-whole price per share equal to the following with respect to such redeemed Series C Preferred Stock:


·

35% of the Series C Liquidation Value if redeemed prior to the first anniversary of the issuance date,

·

27% of the Series C Liquidation Value if redeemed on or after the first anniversary but prior to the second anniversary of the issuance date,

·

18% of the Series C Liquidation Value if redeemed on or after the second anniversary but prior to the third anniversary of the issuance date, and

·

9% of the Series C Liquidation Value if redeemed on or after the third anniversary but prior to the fourth anniversary of the issuance date.


Shares of Series C Preferred Stock may be converted into shares of our common stock, on or after the six month anniversary of the issuance date, at a conversion price equal to the closing bid price on the trading day immediately preceding the date of notice of conversion by us or the holder. If we exercise the conversion prior to the fourth anniversary of the issuance of such shares, then in addition to the conversion shares, we must pay to the holder additional shares with respect to such converted shares:


·

35% of the conversion shares if converted after the six-month anniversary of the issuance date but prior to the first anniversary of the issuance date,

·

27% of the converted shares if converted on or after the first anniversary but prior to the second anniversary of the issuance date,

·

18% of the converted shares if converted on or after the second anniversary but prior to the third anniversary of the issuance date, and

·

9% of the converted shares if converted on or after the third anniversary but prior to the fourth anniversary of the issuance date.


Series F Preferred Stock


On July 27, 2011, we filed a certificate of designations of preferences, rights and limitations of Series F Preferred Stock with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and the number of shares so designated is 2,500, par value $0.001 per share, which shall not be subject to increase without the consent of the holders of the Series F Preferred Stock.  As of July 19, 2012, 974 shares have been converted into a total of 34,704,193 shares of common stock and there were 1,026 shares of Series F Preferred Stock outstanding, all of which were held by Ironridge Global.


The Series F Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of our common stock at Ironridge Global’s option or at our option at any time after six-months from the date of issuance of the Series F Preferred Stock.  If Ironridge Global elects to convert, we will issue that number of shares of our common stock equal to the Redemption Price, as defined below, multiplied by the number of shares subject to conversion, divided by the conversion price of $0.50, which we refer to as the Fixed Conversion Price.  The Fixed Conversion Price is equal to the higher of $0.50 and 130% of the closing price of our common stock on the trading day immediately before the date we announced the entry into the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement.  There are no resets, ratchets or anti-dilution provisions that adjust the Fixed Conversion Price other than the customary adjustments for stock splits.

If we elect to convert the Series F Preferred Stock into common stock and the closing price of our common stock exceeds 150% of the Fixed Conversion Price for any consecutive 20 trading days, we will issue that number of shares of our common stock equal to the early redemption price set forth below multiplied by the number of shares subject to conversion, divided by the Fixed Conversion Price.  If we elect to convert the Series F Preferred Stock into common stock and the closing price of our common stock is less than 150% of the Fixed Conversion Price, we will issue an initial number of shares of our common stock equal to 130% of the early redemption price set forth below multiplied by the number of shares subject to conversion, divided by the lower of (i) the Fixed Conversion Price and (ii) 100% of the closing price of a share of our common stock on the trading day immediately preceding the date of the conversion notice.  


53




After 20 trading days, Ironridge Global shall return, or we shall issue, a number of conversion shares, which we refer to as the Reconciling Conversion Shares, so that the total number of conversion shares under the conversion notice equals the early redemption price set forth below multiplied by the number of shares of subject to conversion, divided by the lower of (i) the Fixed Conversion Price and (ii) 85% of the average of the daily volume weighted average prices of our common stock for the 20 trading days following Ironridge Global’s receipt of the conversion notice.  However, if the trading price of our common stock during any one or more of the 20 trading days following Ironridge Global Technology's receipt of the conversion notice falls below 70% of the closing price on the day prior to the date we give notice of our intent to convert, Ironridge Global will return the Reconciling Conversion Shares to us and the pro rata amount of that conversion notice will be canceled.

The Series F Preferred Stock ranks, with respect to dividend rights and rights upon liquidation, winding-up or dissolution, (1) senior with respect to dividends and pari passu in right of liquidation to our common stock, (2) junior in right of dividends and liquidation with respect to the Series C Preferred Stock, and (3) junior to our existing and future indebtedness. Holders of Series F Preferred Stock have no voting rights and no preemptive rights. There are no sinking-fund provisions applicable to the Series F Preferred Stock.   


Commencing on the date of issuance of any such shares of Series F Preferred Stock, holders of Series F Preferred Stock are entitled to receive dividends on each outstanding share of Series F Preferred Stock, which accrue in shares of Series F Preferred Stock at a rate equal to 7.65% per annum from the date of issuance.  Accrued dividends are payable upon redemption of the Series F Preferred Stock.


Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up after payment or provision for payment of our debts and other liabilities and any liquidation preferences to the senior securities, before any distribution or payment is made to the holders of any junior securities, the holders of Series F Preferred Stock shall first be entitled to be paid out of our assets available for distribution to our stockholders an amount with respect to the Series F Liquidation Value, as defined below, after which any of our remaining assets will be distributed among the holders of our other class or series of stock in accordance with our Certificates of Designations and Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended.

We may redeem the Series F Preferred Stock, for cash or by an offset against any outstanding note payable from Ironridge to us that Ironridge issued, as follows.  We may redeem any or all of the Series F Preferred Stock at any time after the seventh anniversary of the issuance date at the redemption price per share equal to $1,000 per share of Series F Preferred Stock, which we refer to as the Series F Liquidation Value, plus any accrued but unpaid dividends with respect to such shares of Series F Preferred Stock, which we refer to as the Redemption Price.  Prior to the seventh anniversary of the issuance of the Series F Preferred Stock, we may, at our option, redeem the shares at any time after the six-month anniversary of the issuance date at a make-whole price per share equal to the following with respect to such redeemed Series F Preferred Stock:


·

149.99% of the Series F Liquidation Value if redeemed prior to the first anniversary of the issuance date,

·

141.6% of the Series F Liquidation Value if redeemed on or after the first anniversary but prior to the second anniversary of the issuance date,

·

133.6% of the Series F Liquidation Value if redeemed on or after the second anniversary but prior to the third anniversary of the issuance date,  

·

126.1% of the Series F Liquidation Value if redeemed on or after the third anniversary but prior to the fourth anniversary of the issuance date,

·

119.0% of the Series F Liquidation Value if redeemed on or after the fourth anniversary but prior to the fifth anniversary of the issuance date,

·

112.3% of the Series F Liquidation Value if redeemed on or after the fifth anniversary but prior to the sixth anniversary of the issuance date, and  

·

106.0% of the Series F Liquidation Value if redeemed on or after the sixth anniversary but prior to the seventh anniversary of the issuance date.


In addition, if we determine to liquidate, dissolve or wind-up our business, or engage in any liquidation event, we must redeem the Series F Preferred Stock at the applicable early redemption price set forth above.

We cannot issue any shares of common stock upon conversion of the Series F Preferred Stock if it would result in Ironridge Global being deemed to beneficially own, within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act, more than 9.99% of the total shares of our common stock then outstanding.  In addition, prior to obtaining stockholder approval, shares of Series F Preferred Stock may not be converted if the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series F Preferred Stock, plus any shares previously issued to Ironridge Global or its affiliates, would exceed 19.99% of the common stock outstanding on the date of the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement.

Series H Preferred Stock


On January 12, 2012, we filed a certificate of designations of preferences, rights and limitations of Series H Preferred Stock with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and the number of shares so designated is 500, par value $0.001 per share, which shall not be subject to increase without the consent of the holders of the Series H Preferred Stock.  As of July 19, 2012, 341 shares have been converted into a total of 3,803,667 shares of our common stock and 159 shares of Series H Preferred Stock were outstanding.


The Series H Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of our common stock at the holder’s option at any time from the date of issuance of the Series H Preferred Stock.  If the holder elects to convert, we will issue that number of shares of our common stock equal to the Early Redemption Price, as defined below, multiplied by the number of shares subject to conversion, divided by the conversion price of $0.15, which we refer to as the Series H Conversion Price.  There are no resets, ratchets or anti-dilution provisions that adjust the Series H Conversion Price other than the customary adjustments for stock splits.


We may convert the Series H Preferred Stock into common stock if the closing price of our common stock exceeds 200% of the Series H Conversion Price for any consecutive 20 trading days and the following equity conditions are met:


·

on each day during the period beginning 30 trading days before the date we give the holder notice of conversion and ending 30 trading days after the date of the conversion notice, which we refer to as the Equity Conditions Measuring Period, our common stock is designated for quotation on a trading market and has not been suspended from trading on such exchange or market nor shall delisting or suspension by such exchange or market been threatened or pending either (A) in writing by such exchange or market or (B) by falling below the then effective minimum listing maintenance requirements of such exchange or market;

·

during the Equity Conditions Measuring Period, we  have delivered shares issuable upon all conversions or redemptions of the Series H Preferred Stock in accordance with their terms to the holder on a timely basis;

·

we have no knowledge of any fact that would cause both the registration statement not to be effective and available for the issuance of the conversion shares, Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act not to be available for the issuance of the conversion shares and Securities Act Rule 144 not to be available for the resale of all the conversion shares underlying the Series H Preferred Stock;

·

a minimum of $500,000 in aggregate trading volume has traded on the trading market during the 20 trading dates prior to the date of determination; and

·

we are otherwise in compliance with and shall not have breached any provision, covenant, representation or warranty of any transaction document.


Upon such conversion, we will issue that number of shares of our common stock equal to the Early Redemption Price, as defined below, multiplied by the number of shares subject to conversion, divided by the Series H Conversion Price.    

The Series H Preferred Stock ranks, with respect to dividend rights and rights upon liquidation, winding-up or dissolution, (1) senior with respect to dividends and pari passu in right of liquidation to our common stock, (2) junior in right of dividends and liquidation with respect to the Series C Preferred Stock, (3) pari passu in right of dividends and liquidation with respect to the Series F Preferred Stock and (4) junior to our existing and future indebtedness.  Shares of Series H Preferred Stock will generally have no voting rights, except as required by law and except that the consent of holders of a majority of the outstanding Series H Preferred Stock will be required to amend the terms of the Series H Preferred Stock or to issue any new pari passu or senior equity securities.  There are no sinking-fund provisions applicable to the Series H Preferred Stock.

Commencing on the date of issuance of any such shares of Series H Preferred Stock, holders of Series H Preferred Stock are entitled to receive quarterly dividends on each outstanding share of Series H Preferred Stock, which are payable, at our option, in cash or shares of our common stock at a rate equal to 4.5% per annum from the date of issuance. If we opt to pay the dividends in shares of our common stock, although the Series H Preferred Stock certificate of designations does not contain a provision on how the number of shares will be valued, we and Ironridge have orally agreed that the shares will be valued at the lower of the conversion price or a 15% discount to the closing price of our common stock on the trading day immediately preceding the dividend payment date.  Accrued dividends are payable on the last business day of each calendar quarter and upon redemption of the Series H Preferred Stock.  The dividend rate will adjust upward by 98.2350 basis points for each $0.01 that the price of our common stock falls below $0.125 per share.  The dividend rate cannot, however, exceed 10% per annum.  

Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up after payment or provision for payment of our debts and other liabilities and any liquidation preferences to the senior securities, before any distribution or payment is made to the holders of any junior securities, the holders of Series H Preferred Stock shall first be entitled to be paid out of our assets available for distribution to our stockholders an amount with respect to the Series H Liquidation Value, as defined below, after which any of our remaining assets will be distributed among the holders of our other class or series of stock in accordance with our Certificates of Designations and Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended.

We may redeem the Series H Preferred Stock, for cash, as follows.  We may redeem any or all of the Series H Preferred Stock at any time after the tenth anniversary of the issuance date at the redemption price per share, which we refer to as the Series H Redemption Price, equal to $1,000 per share of Series H Preferred Stock, plus any accrued but unpaid dividends with respect to such shares of Series H Preferred Stock, which we refer to as the Series H Liquidation Value.  Prior to the tenth anniversary of the issuance of the Series H Preferred Stock, we may, at our option, redeem the shares at any time after the issuance date at a price per share equal to the Series H Liquidation Value plus the total cumulative amount of dividends that otherwise would have been payable through the tenth anniversary of the issuance date, less any dividends that have been paid, which we refer to as the Early Redemption Price.


In addition, if we determine to liquidate, dissolve or wind-up our business, or engage in any liquidation event, we must redeem the Series H Preferred Stock at the applicable Early Redemption Price.


We cannot issue any shares of common stock upon conversion of the Series H Preferred Stock if it would result in Ironridge being deemed to beneficially own, within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, more than 9.99% of the total shares of our common stock then outstanding.  The 9.99% ownership limitation does not prevent Ironridge from selling some of its holdings and then receiving additional shares.  In this way, Ironridge could sell more than the 9.99% ownership limitation while never holding more than this limit.


Anti-Takeover Provisions


Delaware Anti-Takeover Law


Pursuant to our second amended and restated certificate of incorporation, we have elected not to be governed by Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. Section 203 prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a “business combination” with an “interested stockholder” for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder, unless the business combination is approved in a prescribed manner. The term “business combination” includes mergers, asset sales and other transactions resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. Subject to limited exceptions, an “interested stockholder” is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns, or within three years did own, 15% or more of our voting stock.


Provisions in our certificate of incorporation and by-laws.


Certain provisions of our certificate of incorporation and by-laws could make the acquisition of us by means of a tender offer, or the acquisition of control of us by means of a proxy contest or otherwise, more difficult. These provisions, summarized below, are intended to discourage certain types of coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids, and are designed to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to negotiate with our board of directors. We believe that the benefits of increased protection against an unfriendly or unsolicited proposal to acquire or restructure us outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging such proposals. Among other things, negotiation of such proposals could result in an improvement of their terms.


Our certificate of incorporation and by-laws provide other mechanisms that may help to delay, defer or prevent a change in control. For example, our certificate of incorporation does not provide for cumulative voting in the election of directors. Cumulative voting provides for a stockholder to vote a portion or all of its shares for one or more candidates for seats on the board of directors. Without cumulative voting, a minority stockholder will not be able to gain as many seats on our board of directors based on the number of shares of our stock that such stockholder holds as it would if cumulative voting were permitted. The elimination of cumulative voting makes it more difficult for a minority stockholder to gain a seat on our board of directors to influence the board’s decision regarding a takeover.


Under our certificate of incorporation, 4,996,600 shares of preferred stock remain undesignated. The authorization of undesignated preferred stock makes it possible for the board of directors, without stockholder approval, to issue preferred stock with voting or other rights or preferences that could impede the success of any attempt to obtain control of us.


Our by-laws contain advance-notice procedures that apply to stockholder proposals and the nomination of candidates for election as directors by stockholders, other than nominations made pursuant to the notice given by us with respect to such meetings or nominations made by or at the direction of the board of directors.


These and other provisions may have the effect of deferring hostile takeovers or delaying changes in control or management of us.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


Board of Directors and Stockholders
PositiveID Corporation

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of PositiveID Corporation (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform audits of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits include consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements enumerated above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of PositiveID Corporation, as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the consolidated results of its operations and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, at December 31, 2011 the Company has a working capital deficiency and an accumulated deficit. Additionally, the Company has incurred operating losses since its inception and expects operating losses to continue during 2012. These conditions raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

As discussed in Notes 1 and 2, the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2010 have been restated for the presentation of the Company’s ID Security segment as a discontinued operation.

POSITIVEID CORPORATION

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(information as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2012 is unaudited)


1.   Organization and Basis of Presentation

PositiveID Corporation (the “Company” or “PositiveID”) is a Delaware corporation formed in 2001. The Company commenced operations in 2002 as VeriChip Corporation. In 2007, the Company completed an initial public offering of its common stock.

In July 2008, the Company completed the sale of all of the outstanding capital stock of Xmark Corporation (“Xmark”), which at the time was principally all of the Company’s operations. The sale transaction was closed for $47.9 million in cash, which consisted of the $45 million purchase price plus a balance sheet adjustment of approximately $2.9 million, which was adjusted to $2.8 million at settlement of the escrow. Under the terms of the stock purchase agreement, $43.4 million of the proceeds were paid at closing and $4.4 million was released from escrow in July 2009. As a result, the Company  recorded a gain on the sale of Xmark of $6.2 million, with $4.5 million of that gain deferred until the escrow was settled in 2009.  

Following the completion of the sale, the Company retired all of its outstanding debt for a combined payment of $13.5 million and settled all contractual payments to Xmark’s and the Company’s officers and management for $9.1 million. In August 2008, the Company paid a special dividend to its stockholders of $15.8 million.

In November 2008, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (“APA”) with Digital Angel Corporation and Destron Fearing Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Digital Angel Corporation, which collectively are referred to as “Digital Angel.” The terms of the APA included the Company’s purchase of patents related to an embedded bio-sensor system for use in humans, and the assignment of any rights of Digital Angel under a development agreement associated with the development of an implantable glucose sensing microchip. The Company also received covenants from Digital Angel and Destron Fearing that will permit the use of intellectual property of Digital Angel related to the Company’s health care business without payment of ongoing royalties, as well as inventory and a limited period of technology support by Digital Angel. The Company paid Digital Angel $500,000 at the closing of the APA, which was recorded in the financials as research and development expense.

Also, in November 2008, R & R Consulting Partners LLC, a company controlled by the Company’s then chairman and chief executive officer, purchased 5,355,556 shares of common stock from Digital Angel, at which point in time Digital Angel ceased being a stockholder.

In September 2009, the Company, VeriChip Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Acquisition Subsidiary”), and Steel Vault Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Steel Vault”), signed an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”), dated September 4, 2009, as amended, pursuant to which the Acquisition Subsidiary was merged with and into Steel Vault on November 10, 2009, with Steel Vault surviving and becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”). Upon the consummation of the Merger, all outstanding shares, options and warrants of Steel Vault’s common stock were converted into approximately 5.1 million shares of common stock, 3.3 million options, and 0.5 million warrants of the Company. At the closing of the Merger, the Company changed its name to PositiveID Corporation.

The Company has historically developed, marketed and sold radio frequency identification, frequently referred to as RFID, systems used for the identification of people in the healthcare market. Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2009, with the acquisition of Steel Vault, the Company focused its strategy to provide unique health and security identification tools to protect consumers and businesses, operating in two key segments: HealthID and ID Security.  Beginning in early 2011 the Company further focused its strategy on the growth of its HealthID segment, including the continued development of its GlucoChip product, its Easy Check breath glucose measurement device, its iglucose wireless communication system, and potential strategic acquisition opportunities of businesses complimentary to its HealthID business.

In February 2010 the Company acquired the assets of Easy Check Medical Diagnostics, LLC (“Easy Check”), which included the Easy Check breath analysis system and the iglucose wireless communication system. The Company issued 300,000 shares of common stock in February 2010, with a fair value of $351,000, as consideration for the purchase.  The purchase agreement also included certain contingent payments and cash royalties based on future revenues. (See Note 3)

In May 2011, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement to acquire MicroFluidic Systems, a California corporation (“MicroFluidic”), pursuant to which MicroFluidic became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. MicroFluidic specializes in the production of automated instruments for a wide range of applications in the detection and processing of biological samples, ranging from rapid medical testing to airborne pathogen detection for homeland security. (See Note 3)

The Company’s ID Security segment included its identity security suite of products, sold through its NationalCreditReport.com brand and its Health Link personal health record. The Company’s NationalCreditReport.com business was acquired in conjunction with the merger with Steel Vault in November 2009. NationalCreditReport.com offered consumers a variety of identity security products and services primarily on a subscription basis. In the first quarter of 2010, the Company re-launched its Health Link personal health record (“PHR”) business. The Company focused its marketing efforts on partnering with health care providers and exchanges, physician groups, Electronic Medical Record (“EMR”) system vendors, and insurers to use Health Link as a PHR provided to their patients.

(information as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2012 is unaudited)


Beginning in early 2011, in conjunction with its focus on the HealthID businesses, including the development of the GlucoChip, the Easy Check breath glucose measurement device, and iglucose wireless communication system, the Company limited its activities in its ID Security segment.  In early 2011, the Company ceased acquiring new subscribers to its identity security and credit reporting businesses, and in July 2011, the Company completed the sale of substantially all of the assets of NationalCreditReport.com. (See Note 2)

In January 2012, the Company sold certain assets and liabilities related to its VeriChip business, as well as all of the assets and liabilities relating to its Health Link business, to VeriTeQ Acquisition Corporation, a related party.  The Company had ceased actively marketing the VeriChip business in January 2008 and the Health Link business in September 2010.  The term “VeriChip business” does not include the GlucoChip or any product or application involving blood glucose detection or diabetes management.  (See Note 12).

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Interim Financial Information

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2012 and for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments (including normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation for the periods presented have been reflected as required by Regulation S-X, Rule 10-01. The unaudited consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2012 is not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year.


Going Concern

The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As of December 31, 2011, the Company had a working capital deficiency of approximately $2.7 million and an accumulated deficit of approximately $86 million. As of March 31, 2012, the Company had a working capital deficiency of approximately $2.7 million and an accumulated deficit of approximately $90 million. The Company has incurred operating losses prior to and since the merger that created PositiveID. The current operating losses are the result of selling, general and administrative expenses and research and development expenses. The Company expects its operating losses to continue through at least 2012.

The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain financing to fund the continued development of its HealthID products, the operations of MicroFluidic, and working capital requirements. Until the Company is able to achieve operating profits, it will continue to seek to access the capital markets.  Since December 31, 2010, the Company raised approximately $3.3 million under certain financing facilities. In July 2011, the Company executed an equity financing that has provided funding of approximately $2.3 million. Additionally, in January 2012, the Company raised approximately $0.4 million from the sale of preferred stock.

On August 31, 2011 the Company received notification that its stock was being delisted from the Nasdaq Capital Market and on September 1, 2011 the Company’s stock began trading on the OTC Bulletin Board. The delisting from Nasdaq could adversely affect the market liquidity of the Company’s common stock and harm the business and may hinder or delay the Company’s ability to consummate potential strategic transactions or investments. Such delisting could also adversely affect the Company’s ability to obtain financing for the continuation of its operations and could result in the loss of confidence by investors, suppliers and employees.

These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management intends to continue to access capital to provide funds to meet its working capital requirements for the near-term future. In addition and if necessary, the Company could reduce and/or delay certain discretionary research, development and related activities and costs. However, there can be no assurances that the Company will be able to derive sufficient funding or be successful in negotiating additional sources of equity or credit for its long-term capital needs.  The Company’s inability to have access to such financing at reasonable costs could materially and adversely impact its financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, and result in significant dilution to the Company’s existing stockholders. The Company’s consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of assets and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Although these estimates are based on the knowledge of current events and actions the Company may undertake in the future, they may ultimately differ from actual results. Included in these estimates are assumptions about lives of intangible and other long-lived assets, assumptions used in Black-Scholes valuation models, estimates of the fair value of acquired assets and assumed liabilities, and the determination of whether any impairment is to be recognized on intangibles, among others.

Discontinued Operations

In connection with the Company’s sale of its NationalCreditReport.com business in July 2011, certain assets of the subsidiary have been classified as held for sale in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2010, and its results of operations have been presented as discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations (see Note 2). Related amounts for prior periods presented have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. The Company currently operates in one business segment and generated no revenue from this segment in 2010 or 2011.

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company maintained its cash in one financial institution during the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010. Balances were insured up to Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) limits of $250,000 per institution. At times, cash deposits exceeded the federally insured limits.

Equipment

Equipment is carried at cost less accumulated depreciation, computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term or useful life, software is depreciated over 2 years, and equipment is depreciated over periods ranging from 3 to 5 years. Repairs and maintenance which do not extend the useful life of the asset are charged to expense as incurred. Gains and losses on sales and retirements are reflected in the consolidated statements of operations.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortization, computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives. As of December 31, 2011, customer contracts and relationships are being amortized over 3 years, patents are being amortized over 5 years, and non-compete agreements are being amortized over 2 years. Intangible assets consist of the following as of December 31, 2011 (in thousands):

The Company continually evaluates whether events or circumstances have occurred that indicate the remaining estimated useful lives of its definite-lived intangible assets may warrant revision or that the remaining balance of such assets may not be recoverable. The Company uses an estimate of the related undiscounted cash flows attributable to such asset over the remaining life of the asset in measuring whether the asset is recoverable.

(information as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2012 is unaudited)


The Company records goodwill as the excess of the purchase price over the fair values assigned to the net assets acquired in business combinations. Goodwill is allocated to reporting units as of the acquisition date for the purpose of goodwill impairment testing. The Company’s reporting units are those businesses for which discrete financial information is available and upon which segment management makes operating decisions. Goodwill of a reporting unit is tested for impairment at least once a year, or between testing dates if an impairment condition or event is determined to have occurred.

In assessing potential impairment of the intangible assets and goodwill recorded in connection with the MicroFluidic acquisition as of December 31, 2011, management considered the likelihood of future cash flows attributable to such assets, including but not limited to the probability and extent of MicroFluidic’s participation in the Department of Homeland Security’s BioWatch program, for which a final Request for Proposal is expected to be released by the third quarter of 2012. Based on its analysis, management has concluded, based on information currently available, that no impairment of the intangible assets or goodwill exists as of December 31, 2011.

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s revenue recognition policy related to the discontinued ID Security segment was as follows:

Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, collectability of arrangement consideration is reasonably assured, the arrangement fees are fixed or determinable and delivery of the product or service has been completed. A significant portion of the Company’s revenue is derived from the Company’s processing of transactions related to the provision of information services to customers, in which case revenue is recognized, assuming all other revenue recognition criteria are met, when the services are provided. Another portion of the Company’s revenues relate substantially to monthly subscription fee-based credit monitoring contracts under which a customer pays a preset fee for a predetermined or unlimited number of transactions or services provided during the subscription period. Revenue related to subscription fee-based contracts having an unlimited volume is recognized ratably during the contract term.


If at the outset of an arrangement, the Company determines that collectability is not reasonably assured, revenue is deferred until the earlier of when collectability becomes probable or the receipt of payment. If there is uncertainty as to the customer’s acceptance of the Company’s deliverables, revenue is not recognized until the earlier of receipt of customer acceptance or expiration of the acceptance period. If at the outset of an arrangement, the Company determines that the arrangement fee is not fixed or determinable, revenue is deferred until the arrangement fee becomes estimable, assuming all other revenue recognition criteria have been met.

In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued amended revenue recognition guidance for arrangements with multiple deliverables. The new guidance requires the use of management’s best estimate of selling price for the deliverables in an arrangement when vendor specific objective evidence, vendor objective evidence or third party evidence of the selling price is not available. In addition, excluding specific software revenue guidance, the residual method of allocating arrangement consideration is no longer permitted, and an entity is required to allocate arrangement consideration using the relative selling price method. In accordance with the guidance, the Company elected to early adopt its provisions as of January 1, 2010 on a prospective basis for all new or materially modified arrangements entered into on or after that date. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

As discussed above, effective January 1, 2010 the Company adopted, on a prospective basis for all new or materially modified arrangements entered into on or after that date, the amended accounting guidance for multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements and the amended guidance related to the scope of existing software revenue recognition guidance. The amended guidance does not generally change the units of accounting for the Company’s revenue transactions. Most of the Company’s products and services qualify as separate units of accounting.

To the extent the Company sells products that may consist of multiple deliverables the revenue recognition is subject to specific guidance. A multiple-deliverable arrangement is separated into more than one unit of accounting if the following criteria are met:


·

The delivered item(s) has value to the client on a stand-alone basis; and

·

If the arrangement includes a general right of return relative to the delivered item(s), delivery or performance of the undelivered item(s) is considered probable and substantially in the Company’s control.


If these criteria are not met, the arrangement is accounted for as one unit of accounting which would result in revenue being recognized ratably over the contract term or being deferred until the earlier of when such criteria are met or when the last undelivered element is delivered. If these criteria are met for each element and there is a relative selling price for all units of accounting in an arrangement, the arrangement consideration is allocated to the separate units of accounting based on each unit’s relative selling price.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation expenses are reflected in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations under selling, general and administrative expenses and research and development expenses.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability approach for the financial accounting and reporting of income taxes. Deferred taxes are recorded based upon the tax impact of items affecting financial reporting and tax filings in different periods. A valuation allowance is provided against net deferred tax assets when the Company determines realization is not currently judged to be more likely than not.

The Company follows the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) No. 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 contains a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition purposes by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount which is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company considers many factors when evaluating and estimating its tax positions and tax benefits, which may require periodic adjustments and which may not accurately anticipate actual outcomes.  Accordingly, the Company reports a liability for unrecognized tax benefits resulting from the uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return and recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions as interest expense. The Company does not have any uncertain tax positions at December 31, 2011.

Research and Development and Software Development Costs

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and consist of development work associated with the Company’s existing and potential products. The Company’s research and development expenses relate primarily to share based compensation to project partners, payroll costs for engineering personnel and costs associated with various projects, including testing, developing prototypes and related expenses.

The Company accounts for software development costs in accordance with the provisions of ASC 985-20, “Costs of Software to be Sold, Leased or Marketed”. Qualifying costs are capitalized from the time technological feasibility is established until the product is available for general release to customers. Capitalized software development costs related to the Company’s iglucose wireless communication system totaled approximately $299,000 as of December 31, 2011 and are included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The product was not available for general release as of December 31, 2011 and therefore amortization of capitalized costs had yet to begin.

Accrued Expenses

Loss Per Common Share

The Company presents basic income (loss) per common share and, if applicable, diluted income (loss) per share pursuant to the provisions of ASC 260 “Earnings Per Share”. Basic income (loss) per common share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year and after preferred stock dividend requirements. The calculation of diluted income (loss) per common share assumes that any dilutive convertible preferred shares outstanding at the beginning of each year or the date issued were convertible at those dates, with preferred stock dividend requirements and outstanding common shares adjusted accordingly. It also assumes that outstanding common shares were increased by shares issuable upon exercise of those stock options and warrants for which the average period market price exceeds the exercise price, less shares that could have been purchased by the Company with related proceeds.

2.   Discontinued Operations


Beginning at the end of 2010, in conjunction with the Company’s focus on its HealthID businesses, including the development of the GlucoChip, the Easy Check breath glucose detection system, and iglucose wireless communication system, the Company began to limit the activities of its ID Security segment, which included its wholly-owned NationalCreditReport.com subsidiary. In connection with the Company’s decision at the end of 2010 to cease acquiring new customers, it evaluated the Steel Vault business model and recoverability of its intangible assets by estimating the projected operating cash flows and estimated residual value of the NationalCreditReport.com business. As a result, the Company recorded a charge for the impairment of its goodwill of $1.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2010.  Effective December 31, 2010, the Company also adjusted the rate of amortization of its trademarks and domain names to reflect the estimated residual value over its estimated remaining economic life.

In early 2011, the Company ceased acquiring new subscribers for its NationalCreditReport.com business, and in the second quarter of 2011 the Company began actively marketing the business for sale. On July 22, 2011, the Company completed the sale of substantially all of the assets of NationalCreditReport.com for $750,000 in cash. The buyer retained $75,000 from the purchase price pending the final determination of indemnification obligations for a period of eighteen months from the closing date.

 

The transferred assets of NationalCreditReport.com have been classified as held for sale in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2010, and consist of the following (in thousands):

In connection with the decision to sell the NationalCreditReport.com business, the carrying value of the subsidiary’s net assets was written down to their estimated fair value, determined based upon the proceeds realized upon the sale in July 2011. As a result, an impairment of the carrying value of goodwill of approximately $555,000 was recognized during the second quarter of 2011 and is included in the loss from discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2011.

 

Historical revenue related to the NationalCreditReport.com business and included in the income (loss) from discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations totaled approximately $988,000 and $3,018,000 for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and approximately $588,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011.


3.   Acquisitions

Easy Check Asset Purchase

In February 2010, the Company purchased the assets of Easy Check, which was comprised of the intellectual property related to the Easy Check breath glucose measurement device and the iglucose wireless communication system. The Company issued 300,000 shares of common stock in connection with the purchase with a fair value of $351,000 based on a stock price of $1.17 per share. The entire purchase price was expensed as in-process research and development as the development of these projects had not yet reached technological feasibility and had no alternative future uses.  The Company did not purchase any tangible assets from Easy Check.

In February 2011 the Company amended the purchase agreement and paid the seller of the assets an additional 200,000 shares of its common stock valued at $114,000, based on a stock price of $0.57 per share. The agreement lowered the potential royalty on future income from these products from 25% to 10%. The additional consideration was expensed as in-process research and development as the related projects had not yet reached technological feasibility at the time of the amendment.

MicroFluidic Acquisition

On May 23, 2011, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of MicroFluidic in a transaction accounted for using the purchase method of accounting (the “Acquisition”). Since MicroFluidic's inception, its key personnel have had an important role in developing technologies to automate the process of biological pathogen detection. MicroFluidic’s substantial portfolio of intellectual property related to sample preparation and rapid medical testing applications is complementary to the Company’s portfolio of virus detection and diabetes management products in development.

As consideration for the consummation of the Acquisition, the Company paid $250,000 to fund certain accounts payable of MicroFluidic (of which approximately $24,000 was paid to selling shareholders) and issued 2,375,000 shares of common stock of the Company (the “Stock Consideration”). Additionally, the Company issued a total of 971,429 shares of common stock in 2011 to its advisors for brokerage services rendered in conjunction with the Acquisition. The Company incurred a nonrecurring charge of approximately $550,000 related to the direct costs of the Acquisition, consisting of the $365,000 value of the shares of common stock issued to its advisors and $185,000 of cash costs, which is recorded in operating expenses in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2011.

In connection with the Acquisition, the Company is also required to make certain earn-out payments, up to a maximum of $7,000,000 payable in shares of the Company’s common stock, upon certain conditions over the next three years (the “Earn-Out Payment”). The earn-out for 2011 was based upon the value of contracts obtained by MicroFluidic through December 31, 2011, subject to a maximum Earn-Out Payment of $2,000,000. MicroFluidic did not obtain any contracts as of December 31, 2011 and thus no earn-out payment was required for 2011. The earn-out for years 2012-2014 is based on MicroFluidic achieving certain earnings targets for the respective year, subject to a maximum Earn-Out Payment of $2,000,000 per year and an overall cumulative maximum Earn-Out Payment of $7,000,000. However, the Company is prohibited from making any Earn-Out Payment until stockholder approval is obtained if the aggregate number of shares to be issued exceeds 19.99% of the Company’s common stock outstanding immediately prior to the closing. In the event the Company is unable to obtain any required stockholder approval, the Company is obligated to pay the applicable Earn-Out Payment in cash to the sellers. In addition, the Company may pay any applicable Earn-Out Payment in cash at its option.

The estimated purchase price of the Acquisition totaled approximately $1,653,000, comprised of (i) $24,000 in cash, (ii) Stock Consideration of $879,000 based on a stock price of $0.37 per share, and (iii) contingent consideration of approximately $750,000. The fair value of the contingent consideration was estimated based upon the present value of the probability-weighted expected future payouts under the earn-out arrangement. On October 31, 2011, the Company entered into an agreement with two of the selling MicroFluidic shareholders pursuant to which the two individuals waived their right to any earn-out compensation for 2011 in settlement of the closing working capital adjustment provisions of the purchase agreement. The two individuals represented approximately 68% of the selling shareholder interests, and thus any earn-out for 2011 was to be reduced by such percentage. As no earn-out was achieved for 2011, the fair value of the contingent consideration was reassessed and reduced to approximately $538,000 as of December 31, 2011, with a corresponding credit of $212,000 to selling, general and administrative expense in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Under the purchase method of accounting, the estimated purchase price of the Acquisition was allocated to MicroFluidic’s net tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values as of the date of the completion of the Acquisition, as follows (in thousands):

The estimated fair values of certain assets and liabilities were determined by management based upon a third-party valuation. The goodwill recorded in connection with the Acquisition was allocated to the Company’s HealthID segment, and no portion of the intangible assets, including goodwill, is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.


The results of operations of MicroFluidic are included in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations from the date of the acquisition of May 23, 2011, including $0 of revenue and approximately $888,000 of loss. The following supplemental pro forma information assumes that the Acquisition had occurred as of January 1 for each period presented (in thousands except per share data):

The pro forma financial information is not necessarily indicative of the results that would have occurred if the Acquisition had occurred on the dates indicated or that may result in the future. The pro forma revenue reflected primarily relates to revenue reported by MicroFluidic, substantially all of which was generated under two contracts with an agency of the U.S. Government. The two contracts were completed by March 31, 2011 and as of December 31, 2011 and March 31, 2012 MicroFluidic had no active revenue-generating contracts. The pro forma results for the year ended December 31, 2010 exclude a charge of approximately $550,000 related to the direct costs of the Acquisition, which is included in the Company’s results of operations for the period after the date of the Acquisition and thus in the pro forma results for the year ended December 31, 2011.


4.   Financing Agreements

Optimus Financing

On September 29, 2009, the Company entered into a Convertible Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Optimus Purchase Agreement”) with Optimus Technology Capital Partners, LLC (“Optimus”) under which Optimus was committed to purchase up to $10 million shares of convertible Series A Preferred Stock of the Company in one or more tranches.

To facilitate the transactions contemplated by the Optimus Purchase Agreement, R & R Consulting Partners, LLC (“R&R”), a company controlled by Scott R. Silverman, the Company’s former chairman and chief executive officer, loaned shares of common stock of the Company to Optimus equal to 135% of the aggregate purchase price for each tranche pursuant to stock loan agreements between R & R and Optimus. R & R was paid a $100,000 fee in October 2009 plus was to be paid 2% as interest for the fair value of the loaned shares for entering into the stock loan arrangement.  R & R could demand return of some or all of the borrowed shares (or an equal number of freely tradable shares of common stock) at any time on or after the six-month anniversary date such borrowed shares were loaned to Optimus, but no such demand could be made if there are any shares of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding. If a permitted return demand was made, Optimus was required to return the borrowed shares (or an equal number of freely tradable shares of common stock) within three trading days after such demand. Optimus could return the borrowed shares in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, without penalty or premium. On September 29, 2009, October 8, 2009, and October 21, 2009, R & R loaned Optimus 1.3 million, 800,000 and 600,000 shares, respectively, of Company common stock.

On September 29, 2009, the Company exercised the first tranche of the Optimus financing, pursuant to which it issued 296 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, for a purchase price of approximately $3.0 million. In support of this tranche, R & R loaned Optimus 1.3 million shares of common stock. The tranche closed on October 13, 2009, and the Company received proceeds of approximately $3.0 million, less the fees due on the entire financing commitment of $800,000. On November 5, 2009, the Company closed the second tranche of this financing, issuing 166 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, for a purchase price of approximately $1.7 million. In support of this tranche, R & R loaned Optimus approximately 1.4 million shares of common stock.

On May 12, 2010, R & R demanded the return of 2.7 million shares loaned to Optimus.  Also on May 12, 2010, the Company sent Optimus a notice of its election to convert all of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock into 2,729,452 shares of Company common stock.  Optimus returned these shares to R & R in repayment of the loan. The conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock was determined by a fixed conversion price that was determined at the time of the two tranche closings, which were approximately $3.07 and $1.60 per share, respectively. The Company was required to issue make-whole shares to Optimus equal to 35% of the Series A Liquidation Value ($10,000 per share of Series A Preferred Stock) because the Series A Preferred Stock was redeemed prior the first anniversary of the issuance date.  On October 13, 2010, the Company filed a Certificate of Elimination with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware effecting the elimination of the Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series A Preferred Stock.  No shares of Series A Preferred Stock remained outstanding as of December 31, 2010.

(information as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2012 is unaudited)


On March 14, 2011, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Convertible Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Amended Optimus Purchase Agreement”) with Optimus. The Amended Optimus Purchase Agreement amended and restated the Optimus Purchase Agreement, and, among other things, specifically (i) replaced the Series A Preferred Stock issuable under the Purchase Agreement with Series C Preferred Stock with substantially similar terms, and (ii) reduced the maximum amount of preferred stock issuable to Optimus under the Optimus Purchase Agreement from $10 million to $8.7 million, of which $4.7 million was previously issued in 2009 as described above.

Under the terms of the Amended Optimus Purchase Agreement, from time to time and at the Company’s sole discretion, the Company could present Optimus with a notice to purchase shares of Series C Preferred Stock (the “Notice”). Optimus was obligated to purchase such Series C Preferred Stock on the twentieth trading day after any Notice date, subject to satisfaction of certain closing conditions, including (i) that the Company is listed for and trading on a trading market, such as the Nasdaq or the over the counter bulletin board, (ii) the representations and warranties of the Company set forth in the Amended Optimus Purchase Agreement are true and correct as if made on each tranche date, and (iii) that no such purchase would result in Optimus and its affiliates beneficially owning more than 9.99% of the Company’s common stock. In the event the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock during any one or more of the nineteen trading days following the delivery of a Notice were to fall below 75% of the closing bid price on the trading day prior to the Notice date and Optimus determined not to complete the tranche closing, then the Company could, at its option, proceed to issue some or all of the applicable shares, provided that the conversion price for the Preferred Stock that is issued would reset at the lowest closing bid price for such nineteen trading day period.  

On March 14, 2011, the Company delivered a Notice to Optimus to sell 140 shares of Series C Preferred Stock for a purchase price of approximately $1.4 million.   In support of this tranche, R & R loaned 2,729,452 shares, Mr. Silverman loaned 70,548 shares and William Caragol, the Company’s current chairman and chief executive officer, loaned 700,000 shares of Company common stock to Optimus (the “Loaned Shares”). On April 12, 2011, the tranche closed and the Company received proceeds of approximately $1.4 million, less $100,000 paid to Optimus to waive the requirement under the Amended Optimus Purchase Agreement that the conversion price of the Series C Preferred Stock issued in the tranche be reset at the lowest closing bid price for the nineteen trading days following the tranche notice date, which was March 14, 2011, due to the closing bid price of a share of the Company’s common stock falling below 75% during such nineteen trading day period.

On October 12, 2011, R & R, Mr. Caragol and Mr. Silverman demanded the return of the Loaned Shares from Optimus. Also on October 12, 2011, the Company sent Optimus a notice of its election to convert all of the outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock into 3,500,000 shares of common stock. The conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock was determined by a fixed conversion price that was determined at the time of the tranche closing, which was approximately $0.40 per share. On October 17, 2011, Optimus failed to return the Loaned Shares within three trading days of the demand by R & R, Mr. Silverman and Mr. Caragol as required under the terms of the Amended Optimus Purchase Agreement. No shares of Series C Preferred Stock remained outstanding as of December 31, 2011.

On January 27, 2012, the Company issued an aggregate of 3,500,000 shares of common stock to R & R Consulting Partners, LLC, Mr. Silverman and Mr. Caragol in exchange for the Loaned Shares. The securities that were originally issued upon conversion remain outstanding but have no voting, dividend, distribution or other rights of common stockholders. Further, Optimus has indicated in a public filing the absence of beneficial ownership of the 3,500,000 shares of common stock.  The Company believes that, while the transfer agent has not yet cancelled the original 3,500,000 shares, no requirements exist that legally prevent such cancellation from being effectuated.

The Company believes that the transactions undertaken with Optimus as discussed herein were in compliance with applicable securities laws at the time of the financing transactions, including Section 5 of the Securities Act. If a violation did occur in connection with Optimus' resale of the common stock it received in connection with these financings, security holders who purchased these securities would have certain remedies available to them, including the right to rescind the purchase of those securities within the applicable statute of limitations, which under the Securities Act is one year commencing on the date of violation of the federal registration requirements. The Company believes that the federal statute of limitations on sales of shares of the Company’s common stock has expired for sales made under the 2009 Optimus transactions, and that the federal statute of limitations on sales of shares of the Company’s common stock will expire in 2012 for sales made under the March 2011 Optimus transaction.  Statutes of limitations under state laws vary by state, with the limitation time period under many state statutes not typically beginning until the facts giving rise to a violation are known. The Company is applying a contingency accounting model in determining whether a liability exists for this matter. Under this model, the Company evaluates whether a violation of the applicable securities laws has occurred resulting in a rescission right and whether a claim for a potential violation will be asserted. The Company has determined that there is a remote likelihood as to whether a violation has occurred. If the Company were required to pay security holders for rescission of their purchase of such securities, it could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. The Company is not presently able to accurately determine an estimated amount for any potential rescission liability associated with the resale of the loaned shares by Optimus in the event that the transaction were to be found to violate Section 5 of the Securities Act as it does not have knowledge of the amount and timing of such resales, nor information regarding the state or states in which such resales may have occurred. The Company believes that the range of prices at which Optimus sold the loaned shares was between $0.50-$3.22 per share related to the 2009 Optimus transactions and between $0.11-$0.63 per share related to the 2011 Optimus transaction. No adjustment has been made in the accompanying consolidated financial statements related to the outcome of this contingency.

Certificate of Designations for Series C Preferred Stock

On March 14, 2011, pursuant to the Amended Optimus Purchase Agreement, the Company filed a Certificate of Designations of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series C Preferred Stock with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.  The Company is authorized to issue 400 shares of Series C Preferred Stock and the shares of Preferred Stock may not be converted if the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock plus any shares previously issued to Optimus or its affiliates would exceed 19.99% of the common stock outstanding as calculated and determined in accordance with Nasdaq Marketplace rules.  

Ranking and Voting. The Series C Preferred Stock ranks, with respect to rights upon liquidation, winding-up or dissolution, senior to the Company’s Common Stock and any other classes of stock or series of preferred stock of the Company, including the Series B Preferred Stock, and junior to existing and future indebtedness of the Company. Otherwise, holders of the Preferred Stock will not be entitled to receive dividends and will have no right to vote on any matters, questions or proceedings, including, without limitation, the election of directors.

Conversion. One or more shares of the Series C Preferred Stock may be converted into shares of Common Stock of the Company, on or after the six month anniversary of the issuance date, at a conversion price equal to the closing bid price on the trading day immediately preceding the Notice date (the “Conversion Price”) by the Company or Optimus. If the Company or Optimus exercises this conversion option with respect to any Series C Preferred Stock, the Company will issue to Optimus the number of shares of Common Stock equal to (x) $10,000 per share of Series C Preferred Stock multiplied by (y) the number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock subject to the Notice divided by (z) the Conversion Price with respect to such shares. If the Company exercises the conversion prior to the fourth anniversary of the issuance of such shares, then in addition to the conversion shares, the Company must pay to the holder additional shares with respect to such converted shares: (i) 35% of the conversion shares if converted after the six-month anniversary of the issuance date but prior to the first anniversary of the issuance date, (ii) 27% of the converted shares if converted on or after the first anniversary but prior to the second anniversary of the issuance date, (iii) 18% of the converted shares if converted on or after the second anniversary but prior to the third anniversary of the issuance date, and (iv) 9% of the converted shares if converted on or after the third anniversary but prior to the fourth anniversary of the issuance date.

Dividends and Other Distributions. Commencing on the first anniversary of the date of issuance of any such shares of Series C Preferred Stock, holders of Series C Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive dividends on each outstanding share of Series C Preferred Stock, which shall accrue in shares of Series C Preferred Stock at a rate equal to 10% per annum from the date of issuance. Accrued dividends shall be payable annually on the anniversary of the issuance date. No dividend shall be payable with respect to shares of Series C Preferred Stock that are redeemed for cash or converted into shares of Common Stock prior to the first anniversary of the issuance date with respect to such shares.

Liquidation. Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company after payment or provision for payment of debts and other liabilities of the Company, before any distribution or payment is made to the holders of any other class or series of stock, the holders of Series C Preferred Stock shall first be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Company available for distribution to its stockholders an amount with respect to the Series C Liquidation Value, after which any remaining assets of the Company shall be distributed among the holders of the other class or series of stock in accordance with the Company’s Certificates of Designations and Certificate of Incorporation.

Redemption. The Company may redeem, for cash, any or all of the Series C Preferred Stock at any time at the redemption price per share equal to $10,000 per share of Series C Preferred Stock (the “Series C Liquidation Value”), plus any accrued but unpaid dividends with respect to such shares of Series C Preferred Stock (the “Redemption Price”). If the Company exercises this redemption option with respect to any Series C Preferred Stock prior to the fourth anniversary of the issuance of such Series C Preferred Stock, then in addition to the Redemption Price, the Company must pay to Optimus a make-whole price per share equal to the following with respect to such redeemed Series C Preferred Stock: (i) 35% of the Series C Liquidation Value if redeemed prior to the first anniversary of the issuance date, (ii) 27% of the Series C Liquidation Value if redeemed on or after the first anniversary but prior to the second anniversary of the issuance date, (iii) 18% of the Series C Liquidation Value if redeemed on or after the second anniversary but prior to the third anniversary of the issuance date, and (iv) 9% of the Series C Liquidation Value if redeemed on or after the third anniversary but prior to the fourth anniversary of the issuance date.

The Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock, if any, will not be or have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.

Socius Financing

On April 28, 2010, the Company entered into a Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Socius Preferred Purchase Agreement”) with Socius Capital Group, LLC doing business as Socius Technology Capital Group, LLC (“Socius Technology”) under which Socius Technology was committed to purchase up to $4.2 million in shares of non-convertible Series B Preferred Stock of the Company (the “Series B Preferred Stock”) in one or more tranches (each a “Preferred Tranche”), at $10,000 per share of Preferred Stock. Under the terms of the Socius Preferred Purchase Agreement, from time to time and at the Company’s sole discretion, the Company could present Socius Technology with a notice to purchase such Preferred Stock (“Preferred Notice”). Socius Technology was obligated to purchase such Series B Preferred Stock on the third trading day after the Preferred Notice date, subject to satisfaction of certain closing conditions, including (i) that the Company’s common stock is listed for and trading on a trading market, (ii) the representations and warranties of the Company set forth in the Socius Preferred Purchase Agreement are true and correct as if made on each Preferred Tranche date, and (iii) Socius Technology shall have received a commitment fee of $105,000 payable on the first tranche closing date (collectively, the “Closing Conditions”). Commencing on the date of issuance of any such shares of Series B Preferred Stock, holders of Series B Preferred Stock were entitled to receive dividends on each outstanding share of Series B Preferred Stock, which accrued in shares of Series B Preferred Stock at a rate equal to 10% per annum from the date of issuance. Accrued dividends were to be payable upon redemption of the Series B Preferred Stock.

On April 28, 2010, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Socius Stock Agreement”) with Socius CG II, Ltd., a Bermuda exempted company (“Socius”) under which Socius was committed to purchase in connection with any Preferred Tranche, up to that number of shares of common stock equal in dollar amount to 100% of the applicable Preferred Tranche amount (the “Common Tranche”), at a per share price equal to the average of the individual daily volume weighted average price calculated over the ten trading days preceding the applicable tranche notice of the common stock on the date the Company provides notice of such tranche (the “Investment Price”). Under the Agreement, the Company also agreed to issue in connection with any Common Tranche, two-year warrants to purchase shares of common stock equal in dollar amount to 35% of the applicable Common Tranche, at an exercise price per share equal to the Investment Price.

Socius could pay the Investment Price for the common stock, at Socius’ option, in cash or a secured promissory note. Socius could pay the warrant exercise price, at Socius’ option, in cash, a secured promissory note, or, if applicable, by cashless exercise. The promissory note bore interest at 2.0% per year calculated on a simple interest basis. The entire principal balance and interest thereon was due and payable on the fourth anniversary of the date of the promissory note, but no payments were due so long as the Company was in default under the Socius Preferred Purchase Agreement or the warrants or if there were any shares of Series B Preferred Stock issued or outstanding. The promissory note was secured by the borrower’s right, title and interest in all outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock and other securities with a fair market value equal to the principal amount of the promissory note. The Company’s right to deliver a tranche notice to Socius pursuant to the Agreement was subject to the Closing Conditions and also that no purchase would result in Socius and its affiliates beneficially owning more than 9.99% of the Company’s common stock. Unless the Company obtained stockholder approval or Socius obtained an opinion of counsel that stockholder approval was not required, Socius could not exercise a warrant if, as a result of such exercise, the aggregate number of shares of common stock issued upon exercise of all warrants it held plus the aggregate number of shares of common stock issued under the Socius Stock Agreement would exceed 19.99% of the Company’s common stock outstanding.

On April 29, 2010, the Company presented Socius Technology with a Preferred Notice to purchase $2.3 million of Series B Preferred Stock in a Preferred Tranche. Upon the closing of the Preferred Tranche, which occurred on May 4, 2010, the Company issued 230 shares of Series B Preferred Stock. In connection with the Preferred Notice, the Company also presented Socius with a notice to purchase $2.3 million of common stock and warrants to purchase 600,746 shares of common stock. The Company issued 1,716,417 shares of common stock at an Investment Price of $1.34 per share, paid in the form a secured promissory note, and warrants to purchase 600,746 shares of common stock to Socius, at an exercise price equal to the Investment Price of $1.34 per share, which warrants Socius exercised on April 29, 2010 and paid in the form of a secured promissory note.  There was no beneficial conversion feature as the fair value of the secured promissory notes approximated the fair value of the common stock and warrants issued on the date of issuance.  The promissory note was secured by the shares of Series B Preferred Stock issued to Socius.

On January 13, 2011, the Company presented Socius Technology with a Preferred Notice to purchase approximately $1.7 million of Series B Preferred Stock in a Preferred Tranche.  Upon the closing of the Preferred Tranche, the Company issued 168 shares of Series B Preferred Stock. In connection with the Preferred Notice the Company also presented Socius with a notice to purchase $1.7 million of common stock. The Company issued 2,434,783 shares of common stock at an Investment Price of $0.69 per share, paid in the form of a secured promissory note, and warrants to purchase 852,174 shares of common stock to Socius, at an exercise price equal to the Investment Price of $0.69 per share, which warrants Socius exercised on January 13, 2011 and paid in the form of a secured promissory note. The promissory note was secured by the shares of Series B Preferred Stock issued to Socius.

On January 28, 2011, the Company presented Socius Technology with a Preferred Notice to purchase approximately $0.2 million of Series B Preferred Stock in a Preferred Tranche.  Upon the closing of the Preferred Tranche, the Company issued 22 shares of Series B Preferred Stock. In connection with the Preferred Notice, the Company also presented Socius with a notice to purchase $0.2 million of common stock. The Company issued 285,714 shares of common stock at an Investment Price of $0.77 per share, paid in the form of a secured promissory note, and warrants to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock to Socius, at an exercise price equal to the Investment Price of $0.77 per share, which warrants Socius exercised on January 28, 2011 and paid in the form of a secured promissory note. The promissory note was secured by the shares of Series B Preferred Stock issued to Socius.

On May 11, 2011, the Company presented Socius with a notice of redemption of the 420 shares of Series B Preferred Stock held by Socius for a redemption price of $4.2 million and a premium for early redemption of $1.3 million. The consideration for the redemption was the cancelation of the promissory notes which were equal to the value of the Series B Preferred Stock held by Socius and any accrued dividends due and owing on the shares redeemed. No shares of Series B Preferred Stock remained outstanding as of December 31, 2011.

Certificate of Designations for Series B Preferred Stock

On April 28, 2010, the Company filed a Certificate of Designations of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series B Preferred Stock with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. A summary of the Certificate of Designations is set forth below:

Ranking and Voting. The Series B Preferred Stock ranks, with respect to rights upon liquidation, winding-up or dissolution, (i) senior to the Company’s Common Stock, and any other classes of stock or series of preferred stock of the Company except as set forth in clause (ii), and (ii) junior to the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock and all existing and future indebtedness of the Company. Holders of the Series B Preferred Stock will not have rights to vote on any matters, questions or proceedings, including, without limitation, the election of directors.

Conversion. The Series B Preferred Stock is not convertible into Common Stock.

Dividends and Other Distributions. Commencing on the date of issuance of any such shares of Series B Preferred Stock, holders of Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive dividends on each outstanding share of Series B Preferred Stock, which shall accrue in shares of Series B Preferred Stock at a rate equal to 10% per annum from the date of issuance. Accrued dividends shall be payable upon redemption of the Series B Preferred Stock. However, so long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding, no dividends or other distributions may be paid, declared or set apart with respect to the Series B Preferred Stock.

Liquidation. Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company after payment or provision for payment of debts and other liabilities of the Company and any liquidation preferences to the senior securities, before any distribution or payment is made to the holders of any junior securities, the holders of Series B Preferred Stock shall first be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Company available for distribution to its stockholders an amount with respect to the Series B Liquidation Value, as defined below, after which any remaining assets of the Company shall be distributed among the holders of the other class or series of stock in accordance with the Company’s Certificates of Designations and Certificate of Incorporation.

2011 Ironridge Financings

On July 27, 2011, the Company entered into a Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Series F Agreement”) with Ironridge Global III, LLC (“Ironridge Global”), under which Ironridge Global was committed to purchase for cash up to $1.5 million in shares of the Company’s redeemable, convertible Series F Preferred Stock (the “Series F Preferred Stock”) at $1,000 per share of Series F Preferred Stock.  The Series F Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at the option of the holder at a fixed conversion price of $0.50 per common share. The conversion price if the Company elects to convert the Series F Preferred Stock is subject to adjustment based on the market price of the Company's common stock and any applicable early redemption price at the time the Company converts.

Ironridge Global's obligation to purchase the Series F Preferred Stock was subject to satisfaction of certain closing conditions, including (i) that the Company’s common stock is listed and trading on a trading market, (ii) no uncured default exists under the Series F Agreement, (iii) the Company’s representations and warranties set forth in the Series F Agreement are true and correct in all material respects; and (iv) the trading price of the Company’s common stock has not fallen below 70% of the closing price on the trading day immediately before the date it announced that it entered into the Series F Agreement (the “Condition”).

Under the terms of the Series F Agreement, as amended on August 12, 2011 (the “Waiver”), and from time to time and at the Company’s sole discretion, the Company may present Ironridge Global with a notice to purchase such Series F Preferred Stock.  Upon receipt of a notice, Ironridge Global was obligated to purchase the Series F Preferred Stock in installments as follows: (i) $500,000 on August 15, 2011; (ii) $500,000 on the earlier of (1) 20 trading days after August 15, 2011 and (2) the number of trading days necessary for an aggregate of $2.0 million of the Company’s common stock to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market; and (iii) $500,000 on the earlier of (1) 20 trading days after the closing of the second tranche above, (2) the number of trading days necessary for an aggregate of $2.0 million of the Company’s common stock to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market subsequent to the closing of the second tranche above, and (3) September 26, 2011, with the requirement that cash for that tranche be received by the Company on or before September 30, 2011. On August 15, 2011, Ironridge funded the first $500,000 installment, pursuant to which the Company issued 500 shares of Series F Preferred Stock to Ironridge.

On September 16, 2011, the Company entered into a First Amendment to Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement (the “First Amendment”) with Ironridge Global, which superseded the Waiver. Pursuant to the First Amendment, Ironridge was obligated to purchase the Series F Preferred Stock in installments as follows: (1) 130 preferred shares on the trading day (“First Closing”) following the later of (i) 10 trading days after September 7, 2011 and (ii) the trading day that aggregate trading volume of the Company's common stock after September 7, 2011, as reported by Bloomberg, equals or exceeds $500,000; (2) 290 preferred shares on the trading day (“Second Closing”) the earlier of (i) 10 trading days after the First Closing and (ii) the trading day that aggregate trading volume of the Company's common stock after the First Closing, as reported by Bloomberg, equals or exceeds $1 million; (3) 290 preferred shares on the trading day (“Third Closing”) following the earlier of (i) 10 trading days after the Second Closing and (ii) the trading day that aggregate trading volume of the Company's common stock after the Second Closing, as reported by Bloomberg, equals or exceeds $1 million; and (4) 290 preferred shares on the trading day (“Fourth Closing”) following the earlier of (i) 10 trading days after the Third Closing and (ii) the trading day that aggregate trading volume of the Company's common stock after the Third Closing, as reported by Bloomberg, equals or exceeds $1 million (each of the First, Second, Third and Fourth Closings, a “Purchase Closing”). Each of the respective time periods between each Purchase Closing and the prior Purchase Closing shall be the respective “Calculation Period.”

If the sole condition precedent to a Purchase Closing not satisfied is that the Condition is not met, the Company could, at its sole option, elect at any time to proceed with an alternate Purchase Closing, in which case, with respect to such Purchase Closing:


·

The Condition will not apply with respect to that Purchase Closing;

·

The Calculation Period will (i) commence on the trading day after Ironridge Global receives written notice of Company’s election, and (ii) exclude any trading day on which the Company’s common stock trades below $0.20 per share; and

·

The price per preferred share will be equal to the lesser of (a) $1,000, and (b) an amount equal to (i) $1,000, multiplied by (ii) 85% of the average of the daily volume-weighted average prices (the “VWAP”) during the Calculation Period, divided by (iii) $0.257.


Pursuant to the First Amendment, the price per preferred share with respect to the First Closing was equal to the lesser of: (a) $1,000; and (b) an amount, not below zero, equal to (i) $1,000, multiplied by (ii) 85% of the average of the VWAPs during the period between September 7, 2011 through the First Closing minus $0.20, divided by (iii) $0.057. The First Closing occurred on September 20, 2011, pursuant to which the Company issued 130 shares of Series F Preferred Stock to Ironridge for a nominal purchase price.

On November 14, 2011, the Second Closing occurred, pursuant to which the Company issued 290 shares of Series F Preferred Stock to Ironridge for a purchase price of approximately $193,000. On November 18, 2011, the Third Closing occurred, pursuant to which the Company issued 290 shares of Series F Preferred Stock to Ironridge for a purchase price of approximately $243,000. On December 5, 2011, the Fourth Closing occurred, pursuant to which the Company issued 290 shares of Series F Preferred Stock to Ironridge for a purchase price of approximately $188,000. Overall, the Company issued a total of 1,500 shares of Series F Preferred Stock to Ironridge under the Series F Agreement.

Through March 31, 2012, the Company had converted a total of 500 shares of Series F Preferred Stock, pursuant to which the Company issued a total of 8,335,822 shares of common stock to Ironridge. In connection with the conversions, the Company recorded a beneficial conversion dividend during the quarter ended March 31, 2012 totaling approximately $1.8 million, representing the excess of the fair value of the Company’s common stock at the date of issuance of the converted Series F Preferred Stock over the effective conversion rate, multiplied by the common shares issued upon conversion. Subsequent to March 31, 2012, the Company converted an additional 130 shares of Series F Preferred Stock, pursuant to which the Company issued a total of 3,107,940 shares of common stock to Ironridge.

On July 27, 2011, the Company also entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Common Stock Agreement”) with Ironridge Global Technology, a division of Ironridge Global IV, Ltd. (“Ironridge”), under which the Company could deliver a notice to Ironridge exercising its right to require Ironridge to purchase shares up to $2.5 million of its common stock at a price per share equal to $0.367.  The purchase price was equal to 102% of the per share closing bid price of the Company’s common stock as reported on the Nasdaq Capital Market on the trading day immediately before the date the Company announced that it entered into the Common Stock Agreement, which was July 27, 2011.  

Ironridge could pay the purchase price for the shares, at Ironridge's option, in cash or a secured promissory note, except that at least $250,000 of the purchase price was required to be paid in cash. The promissory note bears interest at 1.6% per year calculated on a simple interest basis. The entire principal balance and interest thereon is due and payable seven and one-half years from the date of the promissory note, but no payments are due so long as the Company is in default under the Common Stock Agreement or the Series F Agreement or if there are any shares of Series F Preferred Stock issued or outstanding. The promissory note is secured by Ironridge's right, title and interest in all shares legally or beneficially owned by Ironridge or an affiliate, common stock and other securities with a fair market value equal to the principal amount of the promissory note.

The Company’s right to deliver a tranche notice to Ironridge pursuant to the Common Stock Agreement was subject to satisfaction of certain closing conditions, including (i) that the Company’s common stock is listed and trading on a trading market, (ii) no uncured default exists under the Common Stock Agreement, and (iii) the Company’s representations and warranties set forth in the Common Stock Agreement are true and correct in all material respects.  The Company may not deliver a notice to Ironridge to purchase shares of its common stock if the total number of shares of common stock owned or deemed beneficially owned by Ironridge and its affiliates would result in Ironridge owning or being deemed to beneficially own more than 9.99% of all such common stock and other voting securities as would be outstanding on the date of exercise.

On July 28, 2011, the Company presented Ironridge with a notice to purchase $2.5 million of its common stock under the Common Stock Agreement.  Ironridge Global paid $250,000 in cash and the remaining $2.25 million in a promissory note, the terms of which are described above.  The Company issued an aggregate of 6,811,989 shares of its common stock to Ironridge in connection with the July 28, 2011 notice. No further shares may be sold under the Common Stock Agreement. In connection with the conversions of Series F Preferred Stock discussed above, a total of $0.6 million of the promissory note was repaid through March 31, 2012, and an additional $345,000 has been repaid subsequent to March 31, 2012.

Certificate of Designations for Series F Preferred Stock

On July 27, 2011, the Company filed a Certificate of Designations of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series F Preferred Stock with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. A summary of the Certificate of Designations is set forth below:

Ranking and Voting. The Series F Preferred Stock will, with respect to dividend rights and rights upon liquidation, winding-up or dissolution, rank: (a) senior with respect to dividends and pari passu in right of liquidation with the Company’s common stock; (b) junior in right of dividends and liquidation with respect to the Series C Preferred Stock; and (c) junior to all existing and future indebtedness of the Company. Holders of Series F Preferred Stock have no voting rights and no preemptive rights. There are no sinking-fund provisions applicable to the Series F Preferred Stock.

Dividends and Other Distributions. Commencing on the date of issuance of any such shares of Series F Preferred Stock, holders of Series F Preferred Stock are entitled to receive dividends on each outstanding share of Series F Preferred Stock, which accrue in shares of Series F Preferred Stock at a rate equal to 7.65% per annum from the date of issuance.  Accrued dividends are payable upon redemption of the Series F Preferred Stock.

Liquidation. Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up after payment or provision for payment of the Company’s debts and other liabilities, pari passu with any distribution or payment made to the holders of the Company’s common stock, the holders of Series F Preferred Stock shall be entitled to be paid out of the Company’s assets available for distribution to the Company’s stockholders an amount with respect to the Series F Liquidation Value, as defined below, after which any of the Company’s remaining assets will be distributed among the holders of the Company’s other classes or series of stock in accordance with its Certificates of Designations and Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended.

Redemption. The Company may redeem the Series F Preferred Stock, for cash or by an offset against any outstanding note payable from Ironridge Global to the Company that Ironridge Global issued, as follows.  The Company may redeem any or all of the Series F Preferred Stock at any time after the seventh anniversary of the issuance date at the redemption price per share equal to $1,000 per share of Series F Preferred Stock, plus any accrued but unpaid dividends with respect to such shares of Series F Preferred Stock (the “Series F Liquidation Value”).  Prior to the seventh anniversary of the issuance of the Series F Preferred Stock, the Company may redeem the shares at any time after six months from the issuance date at a make-whole price per share equal to the following with respect to such redeemed Series F Preferred Stock: (i) 149.99% of the Series F Liquidation Value if redeemed prior to the first anniversary of the issuance date, (ii) 141.6% of the Series F Liquidation Value if redeemed on or after the first anniversary but prior to the second anniversary of the issuance date, (iii) 133.6% of the Series F Liquidation Value if redeemed on or after the second anniversary but prior to the third anniversary of the issuance date,  (iv) 126.1% of the Series F Liquidation Value if redeemed on or after the third anniversary but prior to the fourth anniversary of the issuance date, (v) 119.0% of the Series F Liquidation Value if redeemed on or after the fourth anniversary but prior to the fifth anniversary of the issuance date, (vi) 112.3% of the Series F Liquidation Value if redeemed on or after the fifth anniversary but prior to the sixth anniversary of the issuance date, and  (vii) 106.0% of the Series F Liquidation Value if redeemed on or after the sixth anniversary but prior to the seventh anniversary of the issuance date.

In addition, if the Company determines to liquidate, dissolve or wind-up its business, or engage in any deemed liquidation event, it must redeem the Series F Preferred Stock at the applicable early redemption price set forth above.

Conversion.   The Series F Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at Ironridge Global's option or at the Company’s option at any time after six months from the date of issuance of the Series F Preferred Stock.  The fixed conversion price is equal to $0.50 per share which represented a premium of 32% over the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the trading day immediately before the date the Company announced the entry into the Series F Agreement (the “Series F Conversion Price”).

If Ironridge Global elects to convert, the Company will issue that number of shares of its common stock equal to the Series F Liquidation Value multiplied by the number of shares subject to conversion, divided by the Series F Conversion Price.  

If the Company elects to convert the Series F Preferred Stock into common stock and the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock exceeds 150% of the Series F Conversion Price for any 20 consecutive trading days, the Company will issue that number of shares of its common stock equal to the early redemption price set forth above multiplied by the number of shares subject to conversion, divided by the Series F Conversion Price.  If the Company elects to convert the Series F Preferred Stock into common stock and the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock is less than 150% of the Series F Conversion Price, the Company will issue an initial number of shares of its common stock equal to 130% of the early redemption price set forth above multiplied by the number of shares subject to conversion, divided by the lower of (i) the Series F Conversion Price and (ii) 100% of the closing bid price of a share of the Company’s common stock on the trading day immediately before the date of the conversion notice.  

After 20 trading days, Ironridge Global shall return, or the Company shall issue, a number of conversion shares (the “Series F Reconciling Conversion Shares”), so that the total number of conversion shares under the conversion notice equals the early redemption price set forth above multiplied by the number of shares of subject to conversion, divided by the lower of (i) the Series F Conversion Price and (ii) 85% of the average of the daily volume-weighted average prices of the Company’s common stock for the 20 trading days following Ironridge Global's receipt of the conversion notice.  However, if the trading price of the Company’s common stock during any one or more of the 20 trading days following Ironridge Global's receipt of the conversion notice falls below 70% of the closing bid price on the day prior to the date the Company gives notice of its intent to convert, Ironridge Global will return the Series F Reconciling Conversion Shares to the Company and the pro rata amount of the conversion notice will be deemed canceled.

The Company cannot issue any shares of common stock upon conversion of the Series F Preferred Stock if it would result in Ironridge Global being deemed to beneficially own, within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act, more than 9.99% of the total shares of common stock then outstanding.  Furthermore, until stockholder approval is obtained or the holder obtains an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company and its counsel that such approval is not required, both the holder and the Company are prohibited from delivering a conversion notice if, as a result of such exercise, the aggregate number of shares of common stock to be issued, when aggregated with any common stock issued to holder or any affiliate of holder under any other agreements or arrangements between the Company and the holder or any applicable affiliate of the holder, such aggregate number would, under NASDAQ Marketplace rules (or the rules of any other exchange where the common stock is listed), exceed the Cap Amount (meaning 19.99% of the common stock outstanding on the date of the Series F Agreement). If delivery of a conversion notice is prohibited by the preceding sentence because the Cap Amount would be exceeded, the Company must, upon the written request of the holder, hold a meeting of its stockholders within sixty (60) days following such request, and use its best efforts to obtain the approval of its stockholders for the transactions described herein.

2012 Ironridge Financings

On January 13, 2012, the Company, entered into a Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Series H Agreement”) with Ironridge, under which Ironridge was committed to purchase for cash $500,000 in shares of the Company’s redeemable, convertible Series H Preferred Stock (the “Series H Preferred Stock”) at $1,000 per share of Series H Preferred Stock.

Each share of Series H Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at any time by the holder at a conversion price of $0.15 per share. The Series H Preferred Stock will accrue dividends in the amount of 4.5% per annum, subject to increase if the closing price of the Company’s common stock falls below $0.125 per share, up to a maximum rate of 10% per annum. The dividends are payable quarterly, at the Company’s option, in cash or shares of the Company’s common stock. The holder of the Series H Preferred Stock may convert the Series H Preferred Stock into shares of the Company’s common stock at any time at an initial conversion price of $0.15 per share plus a make-whole adjustment equal to accrued but unpaid dividends and dividends that otherwise would be due through the 10th anniversary of the Series H Preferred Stock. The Company may convert the Series H Preferred Stock if the closing price of the Company’s common stock exceeds 200% of the conversion price, and certain other conditions are met. The holder will be prohibited, however, from converting the Series H Preferred Stock into shares of the Company’s common stock if, as a result of such conversion, the holder together with its affiliates, would own more than 9.99% of the total number of shares of the Company’s common stock then issued and outstanding.

The Company may redeem any or all of the Series H Preferred Stock for cash at any time after the tenth anniversary of the issuance date at the redemption price per share, equal to $1,000 per share of Series H Stock, plus any accrued but unpaid dividends with respect to such shares of Series H Preferred Stock (the “Series H Liquidation Value”). Prior to the tenth anniversary of the issuance of the Series H Stock, the Company may, at its option, redeem the shares at any time after the issuance date at a price per share equal to the Series H Liquidation Value plus the total cumulative amount of dividends that otherwise would have been payable through the tenth anniversary of the issuance date, less any dividends that have been paid.


Ironridge's obligation to purchase the Series H Preferred Stock was subject to satisfaction of certain closing conditions, including (i) that the Company’s common stock is listed for and trading on a trading market, (ii) no uncured default exists under the Series H Agreement, and (iii) the Company’s representations and warranties set forth in the Series H Agreement are true and correct in all material respects. On January 17, 2012, Ironridge funded the $500,000 purchase price, pursuant to which the Company issued 500 shares of Series H Preferred Stock to Ironridge. Through March 31, 2012, Ironridge has converted a total of 341 shares of Series H Preferred Stock, pursuant to which the Company has issued a total of 3,803,667 shares of common stock to Ironridge. In connection with the conversions, the Company recorded a beneficial conversion dividend during the quarter ended March 31, 2012 totaling approximately $0.2 million, representing the excess of the fair value of the Company’s common stock at the date of issuance of the converted Series H Preferred Stock over the effective conversion rate, multiplied by the common shares issued upon conversion.

The weighted average per share fair value of grants made in 2011 and 2010 under the Company’s incentive plans was $0.24 and $1.10, respectively.

There are inherent uncertainties in making estimates about forecasts of future operating results and identifying comparable companies and transactions that may be indicative of the fair value of the Company’s securities. The Company believes that the estimates of the fair value of its common stock at each option grant date were reasonable under the circumstances.

The Black-Scholes model, which the Company used to determine compensation expense, required the Company to make several key judgments including:


·

the value of the Company’s common stock;

·

the expected life of issued stock options;

·

the expected volatility of the Company’s stock price;

·

the expected dividend yield to be realized over the life of the stock option; and

·

the risk-free interest rate over the expected life of the stock options.


The Company’s computation of the expected life of issued stock options was determined based on historical experience of similar awards giving consideration to the contractual terms of the stock-based awards, vesting schedules and expectations about employees’ future length of service. The interest rate was based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The computation of volatility was based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock.


The fair values of the options granted were estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes valuation model based on the following weighted-average assumptions:

Warrants

On November 10, 2009, pursuant to the Steel Vault merger, all outstanding Steel Vault warrants were converted into approximately 0.3 million Company warrants. These warrants were granted at exercise prices ranging from $0.60 to $0.88 per share, are fully vested and are exercisable for a period of five years from the vest date. The warrants expire in 2014.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation expense is recognized using the fair-value based method for all awards granted. Compensation expense for awards granted is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period based on the grant-date fair value. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and require the estimates to be revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The Company recorded compensation expense related to stock options and restricted stock of approximately $3,434,000 and $5,119,000 for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. As of December 31, 2011, there was approximately $382,000 of unrecognized compensation cost related to outstanding awards, which is expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted-average period of approximately one year. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the intrinsic value for all options outstanding was approximately nil and $0.4 million, respectively.

The Company recorded compensation expense related to stock options and restricted stock of approximately $589,000 and $970,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.


6.   Income Taxes  

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability approach. Deferred taxes are recorded based upon the tax impact of items affecting financial reporting and tax filings in different periods. A valuation allowance is provided against net deferred tax assets where the Company determines realization is not currently judged to be more likely than not.

The tax effects of temporary differences and carryforwards that give rise to significant portions of deferred tax assets and liabilities consist of the following (in thousands):

The valuation allowance for U.S. deferred tax assets increased by approximately $2.2 million and $6.2 million in 2011 and 2010, respectively, due mainly to the generation of U.S. net operating losses. The valuation allowance at December 31, 2011 and 2010 has primarily been provided for net U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets and stock-based compensation.

The difference between the effective rate reflected in the provision for income taxes on loss before taxes and the amounts determined by applying the applicable statutory U.S. tax rate are analyzed below:

As of December 31, 2011, the Company had U.S. federal net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $63.8 million (including approximately $9.8 million from Steel Vault through the date of the Merger) for income tax purposes that expire in various amounts through 2031. The Company also has approximately $38.0 million of state net operating loss carryforwards that expire in various amounts through 2031.

Based upon the change of ownership rules under IRC Section 382, the Company experienced a change of ownership in December 2007 exceeding the 50% limitation threshold imposed by IRC Section 382. The Company experienced a subsequent change in ownership during November 2008. The acquired net operating losses of Steel Vault are subject to a similar limitation under IRC Section 382. Since 2008 the Company has issued additional shares which potentially result in additional changes of ownership under IRC Section 382. As a result the Company’s future utilization of its net operating loss carryforwards will be significantly limited as to the amount of use in any particular year, and consequently may be subject to expiration.

The Company files consolidated tax returns in the United States federal jurisdiction and in the various states in which it does business. In general, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal or state income tax examinations for years before December 31, 2008.

The Company had an effective tax rate of nil for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 and for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010. The Company incurred losses before taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 and for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010. However, it has not recorded a tax benefit for the resulting net operating loss carryforwards, as the Company has determined that a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets was appropriate based primarily on its historical operating results.


In July 2008, the Company completed the sale of all of the outstanding capital stock of Xmark Corporation (“Xmark”) to Stanley Canada Corporation (“Stanley”). In January 2010, Stanley received a notice from the Canadian Revenue Agency (“CRA”) that the CRA would be performing a review of Xmark’s Canadian tax returns for the periods 2005 through 2008. The Company has complied with all of Stanley’s information requests. This review covers all periods that the Company owned Xmark.  

In February 2011, and as revised on November 9, 2011, Stanley received a notice from the CRA that the CRA completed its review of the Xmark returns and was questioning certain deductions attributable to allocations from related companies on the tax returns under review. In November and December 2011, the CRA and the Ministry of Revenue of the Province of Ontario issued notices of reassessment confirming the proposed adjustments. The total amount of the income tax reassessments for the 2006-2008 tax years, including both provincial and federal reassessments, plus interest, was approximately $1.4 million. In addition, on March 28, 2012 Stanley received assessments for withholding taxes on deemed dividend payments in respect of the disallowed management fees totaling approximately $0.2 million.


On January 20, 2012, the Company received an indemnification claim notice from Stanley related to the matter. The Company does not agree with the position taken by the CRA, and filed a formal appeal related to the matter on March 8, 2012. In connection with the filing of the appeal, Stanley was required to remit an upfront payment of a portion of the tax reassessment totaling approximately $950,000. The Company has agreed to repay Stanley for the upfront payment, plus interest at the rate of five percent per annum, in 24 equal monthly payments beginning on June 1, 2012. To the extent that the Company and Stanley reach a successful resolution of the matter through the appeals process, the upfront payment (or a portion thereof) will be returned to Stanley or the Company as applicable.  Based on the Company’s review of the correspondence and evaluation of the supporting detail, it does not believe that the ultimate resolution of this matter will have a material negative impact on the Company’s historical tax liabilities or results of operations. The Company had established an accrual of $400,000 for this contingency as of December 31, 2011, which management believes is adequate. In connection with the upfront payment made by Stanley, this accrual was reclassified to a liability to Stanley, and a prepaid tax advance to Stanley in the amount of $550,000 was recorded as of March 31, 2012.


7.   Commitments and Contingencies


Lease Commitments

The Company leases certain office space under noncancelable operating leases, including the Company’s corporate offices in Delray Beach, Florida under a lease scheduled to expire in September 2015 and office space for the Company’s MicroFluidic subsidiary in Pleasanton, California under a lease scheduled to expire in April 2015. Rent expense under operating leases totaled approximately $365,000 and $134,000 for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Future minimum lease payments under operating leases at December 31, 2011 are as follows (in thousands):

Legal Proceedings

The Company is a party to certain legal actions, as either plaintiff or defendant, arising in the ordinary course of business, none of which is expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations. However, litigation is inherently unpredictable, and the costs and other effects of pending or future litigation, governmental investigations, legal and administrative cases and proceedings, whether civil or criminal, settlements, judgments and investigations, claims or charges in any such matters, and developments or assertions by or against the Company relating to the Company or to the Company’s intellectual property rights and intellectual property licenses could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and operating results.

8.   Employment Contracts and Stock Compensation to Related Parties

On November 10, 2010, the Company’s compensation committee (the “Compensation Committee”) approved a five year Employment and Non-Compete Agreement for Mr. Silverman and a five year Employment and Non-Compete Agreement for Mr. Caragol. Beginning in 2011, Mr. Silverman and Mr. Caragol were to receive a base salary of $375,000 and $225,000, respectively. During the term, each executive was entitled to receive a minimum annual bonus for each calendar year of the term in an amount equal to a minimum of one (1) times such executive’s base salary.  Additionally, the Compensation Committee had the authority to approve a discretionary bonus for each year of the term. Pursuant to the agreements, Mr. Silverman and Mr. Caragol received 1,000,000 and 750,000 shares of restricted stock, respectively. These restricted shares are scheduled to vest 50% on January 1, 2012 and 50% on January 1, 2013.

On September 30, 2011, the Company entered into a First Amendment to Employment and Non-Compete Agreement (the “First Silverman Amendment”) with Mr. Silverman in connection with Mr. Silverman’s ceasing to be the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. The First Silverman Amendment amended the Employment and Non-Compete Agreement dated November 11, 2010 between the Company and Mr. Silverman and provided for, among other things, the issuance of restricted stock of the Company to Mr. Silverman in the aggregate amount of approximately $3.4 million (the “Restricted Stock”) in lieu of contractually-committed cash salary and bonus for 2012 through 2015. The Restricted Stock is to be issued based upon the average daily volume-weighted average price of the Company’s common stock for the five trading days preceding the date of the First Silverman Amendment. The Restricted Stock is subject to registration rights and price protection provisions, and was to be granted upon the earlier of (i) a reverse stock split or (ii) the receipt of stockholder approval to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock of the Company to at least 175 million shares. The Restricted Stock is price protected through the date on which the registration statement registering such shares becomes effective, such that if the value of the Restricted Stock at such time is less than the average daily volume-weighted average price of the Company’s common stock for the five trading days preceding the date of the First Silverman Amendment, additional shares will be issued to subsidize any shortfall. In connection with the execution of the First Silverman Amendment, a non-cash charge of approximately $3.4 million was recorded in the third quarter of 2011, for which a corresponding liability has been established in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2011. On January 27, 2012, the Company issued the Restricted Stock to Mr. Silverman, totaling 18.1 million shares.


On December 6, 2011, the Compensation Committee approved an Amended and Restated Employment, Consulting and Non-Compete Agreement (the “Amended and Restated Agreement”) between the Company and Mr. Silverman in connection with Mr. Silverman’s negotiated departure from the Board of Directors of the Company as of December 6, 2011 and his continued service as consultant to the Company until March 1, 2012. The Amended and Restated Agreement amends and restates the Employment and Non-Compete Agreement dated November 11, 2010 between the Company and Mr. Silverman and the First Silverman Amendment, and provides for, among other things, clarification of the terms of Mr. Silverman’s separation from the Company and continued vesting of Mr. Silverman’s unvested stock grants. The Company also granted Mr. Silverman a security interest in substantially all of the Company’s assets (the “Security Agreement”) until such time as the stock obligations under the Amended and Restated Agreement are fulfilled.


Under the Amended and Restated Agreement, the Company agreed to satisfy certain contractual obligations of $461,538 (the “Contractual Obligations”) through the issuance of 2,468,118 shares of common stock from the 2011 Plan to Mr. Silverman (the “Contractual Obligations Stock”) on January 2, 2012. If the Company receives $1,000,000 of proceeds from a financing transaction or a series of financing transactions between December 6, 2011 and the date in which a registration statement registering the Contractual Obligations Stock becomes effective, the Company is required to pay Mr. Silverman $100,000 in cash compensation in 2012 and Mr. Silverman will return 534,789 shares of common stock to the Company. If a registration statement for the Contractual Obligations Stock does not become effective on or before March 31, 2012, Mr. Silverman may return the Contractual Obligations Stock in exchange for cash compensation in the amount of $461,538, less any cash compensation payments made to Mr. Silverman as described herein. On January 2, 2012, the Company issued the Contractual Obligations Stock to Mr. Silverman. The Company filed a registration statement on Form S-1 for resale of the Restricted Stock (the “Registration Statement”) with the SEC on January 31, 2012, as amended February 2, 2012 and February 13, 2012.

On March 23, 2012, the Board of Directors approved a First Amendment to Amended and Restated Employment, Consulting and Non-Compete Agreement (the “First Amendment to Amended and Restated Employment Agreement”) between the Company and Mr. Silverman in connection with the elimination of any and all price protection provisions under the Amended and Restated Agreement and any other further registration rights obligations. Under the First Amendment to Amended and Restated Agreement the Company agreed to issue 13,500,000 shares of restricted stock of the Company to Mr. Silverman on March 23, 2012 (the “Price Protection Shares”). The Price Protection Shares were issued in order to (i) eliminate any and all price protection provisions under the Amended and Restated Agreement, including, but not limited to, any price protection provisions relating to a reverse stock split, and (ii) any further registration rights obligations.  The Price Protection Shares will be included on a pre-effective amendment to the Registration Statement to be filed with the SEC no later than March 30, 2012. Upon effectiveness of the Registration Statement, the Security Agreement will terminate. In connection with the issuance of the Price Protection Shares, a non-cash charge of approximately $1.5 million was recorded in the fourth quarter of 2011, based on the fair value of the shares at the date of issuance and for which a corresponding liability has been established in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2011.


On December 6, 2011, the Compensation Committee approved a First Amendment to Employment and Non-Compete Agreement (the “First Caragol Amendment”) between the Company and Mr. Caragol in connection with Mr. Caragol’s assumption of the position of Chairman of the Board of the Company effective December 6, 2011. The First Caragol Amendment amends the Employment and Non-Compete Agreement dated November 11, 2010, between the Company and Mr. Caragol and provides for, among other things, the elimination of any future guaranteed raises and bonuses, other than a 2011 bonus of $375,000 to be paid beginning January 1, 2012 in twelve (12) equal monthly payments. If in the reasonable discretion of the Board, the Company is unable to make the scheduled cash bonus payments, the Company shall have the option of (i) delaying payment(s), (ii) paying Mr. Caragol in restricted stock of the Company, or (iii) reaching some other mutually agreeable resolution with Mr. Caragol. The First Caragol Amendment obligates the Company to grant to Mr. Caragol an aggregate of 12.5 million shares of restricted stock over a 4 year period as follows: (i) 2.5 million shares upon execution of the First Caragol Amendment, which shall vest on January 1, 2014, (ii) 2.5 million shares on January 1, 2012, which shall vest on January 1, 2015, (iii) 2.5 million shares on January 1, 2013, which shall vest on January 1, 2015, (iv) 2.5 million shares on January 1, 2014, which shall vest on January 1, 2016, and (v) 2.5 million shares on January 1, 2015, which shall vest on January 1, 2016. The Company and Mr. Caragol have agreed to delay the issuance of the first and second restricted share grants, for a total of 5 million shares, until the Company has available shares under a stock incentive plan. Stock compensation expense related to the first and second restricted share grants totaled approximately $86,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2012, and for which a total liability of approximately $101,000 has been reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2012.


9.   Segment Information

From the time of the merger with Steel Vault on November 10, 2009, the Company operated in two business segments: HealthID and ID Security. As a result of the sale of the Company’s NationalCreditReport.com business in July 2011, the Company now operates in one segment (HealthID).


HealthID Segment

The Company’s HealthID segment is focused on the development of three products: (1) the GlucoChip, a glucose-sensing microchip, based on the Company’s proprietary intellectual property which is being developed in conjunction with Receptors LLC, (2) iglucose, a stand-alone, self-contained unit that automatically queries a diabetic user’s data-capable glucometer for blood glucose data and sends that data via machine-to-machine technology to the iglucose online database, and (3) Easy Check, a non-invasive breath glucose detection system, based on the correlation of acetone in exhaled breath to blood glucose levels.

ID Security Segment

The Company’s ID Security segment included its Identity Security suite of products, sold through NationalCreditReport.com and the Company’s Health Link personal health record (“PHR”) business. The NationalCreditReport.com business offered consumers a variety of identity security products and services primarily on a subscription basis. These services helped consumers protect themselves against identity theft or fraud and understand and monitor their credit profiles and other personal information, which included credit reports, credit monitoring and credit scores.

The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The following is selected segment data as of and for the year ended December 31, 2010 (in thousands):

In conjunction with the Company’s decision at the end of 2010 to cease acquiring new customers, it evaluated the Steel Vault business model and recoverability of its intangible assets by estimating the projected operating cash flows and estimated residual value of the NationalCreditReport.com business. As a result, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $1.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2010.  Effective December 31, 2010, the Company also adjusted the rates of amortization of its trademarks and domain names to reflect the estimated residual value over its estimated remaining economic life.  The impairment charge and change in amortization affect the Company’s ID Security Segment.

11.   Nasdaq Delisting


The Company was out of compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum bid price requirement since the second half of 2010 and, as of June 30, 2011, the Company did not meet the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. On August 11, 2011, the Company was granted a temporary extension of time, as permitted under Nasdaq's Listing Rules, to comply with the $1.00 per share minimum bid price requirement for continued listing, which is typically accomplished by means of a reverse stock split. On August 26, 2011, the Company received the requisite favorable vote of the Company’s stockholders with respect to the proposal to authorize the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”), in its discretion, to amend the Company’s certificate of incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock; however, for various reasons, the Board decided to not effect a reverse stock split.


On August 31, 2011, the Company received notification that the Company's stock was being delisted from the Nasdaq Capital Market in connection with a bid price deficiency. On September 1, 2011, the Company’s common stock began trading on the OTC Bulletin Board under the trading symbol PSID. The Company will continue to file periodic reports with the SEC in accordance with the requirements of Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.


12.   Sale of Subsidiary to Related Party

On January 11, 2012, the Company contributed certain assets and liabilities related to its VeriChip business, as well as all of the assets and liabilities relating to its Health Link business, to its wholly-owned subsidiary, PositiveID Animal Health (“Animal Health”).  The Company had ceased actively marketing the VeriChip business in January 2008 and the Health Link business in September 2010.  The term “VeriChip business” does not include the GlucoChip or any product or application involving blood glucose detection or diabetes management.  

On January 11, 2012, VeriTeQ Acquisition Corporation (“VeriTeQ”), which is owned and controlled by Mr. Silverman, purchased all of the outstanding capital stock of Animal Health in exchange for a secured promissory note in the amount of $200,000 and 4 million shares of common stock of VeriTeQ representing a 10% ownership interest, to which no value was ascribed. The Company has not recorded the Note or any accrued interest in its balance sheet as of March 31, 2012 and currently plans to recognize the $200,000 gain represented by the Note as the Note is collected.


In connection with the sale, the Company entered into a license agreement with VeriTeQ (the “License Agreement”) which grants VeriTeQ a license to utilize the Company’s bio-sensor implantable RFID patent for the purpose of designing and constructing, using, selling and offering to sell products or services related to the VeriChip business, but excluding the GlucoChip or any product or application involving blood glucose detection or diabetes management.  Pursuant to the License Agreement, the Company will receive royalties in the amount of ten percent on all gross revenues arising out of or relating to VeriTeQ’s sale of products, whether by license or otherwise, specifically relating to the patent, and a royalty of twenty percent on gross revenues that are generated under the Development and Supply Agreement between the Company and Medical Components, Inc. (“Medcomp”) dated April 2, 2009. The Company’s right to the Medcomp royalty payments will terminate three years following written clearance by the FDA of the Medcomp product that incorporates the VeriChip product.

The Company also entered into a shared services agreement with VeriTeQ on January 11, 2012 (the “Shared Services Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to provide certain services to VeriTeQ in exchange for $30,000 per month. The term of the Shared Services Agreement commenced on January 23, 2012. The first payment for such services is not payable until VeriTeQ receives gross proceeds of a financing of at least $500,000. The balance due from VeriTeQ under the Shared Services Agreement, including certain expenses paid by the Company on behalf of VeriTeQ, totaled approximately $115,000 as of March 31, 2012, which has not been recorded in the Company’s balance sheet as of March 31, 2012 and will be recorded on a cash basis as collected.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Board of Directors and Stockholder
MicroFluidic Systems

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of MicroFluidic Systems (the “Company”), as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform audits of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits include consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of MicroFluidic Systems as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

As described in Notes 1 and 8 to the financial statements, on May 23, 2011, the Company was acquired by PositiveID Corporation and became its wholly-owned subsidiary.

MICROFLUIDIC SYSTEMS

Notes to Financial Statements

(Information as of March 31, 2011 and for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 is unaudited)


1. Business and Basis of Presentation

MicroFluidic Systems, a California corporation (“MFS” or the “Company”), was founded in 2001. MFS specializes in the production of automated instruments for a wide range of applications in the detection and processing of biological samples, ranging from rapid medical testing to airborne pathogen detection for homeland security. MFS has generated revenue in the last 10 years under U.S. government contracts and subcontracts, the majority of which have come from the Department of Homeland Security (“DHS”). MFS has a substantial intellectual property portfolio, with 12 U.S. patents granted, 17 U.S. patents pending, six patent applications in Canada, six patent applications in Europe and four patent applications in Japan.

The accompanying financial statements of the Company as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 and for the years then ended have been prepared in accordance with United States (“U.S.”) generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of sales and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of the Company as of March 31, 2011 and for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (including normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary to present fairly the unaudited interim financial statements have been made. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be reported for any other interim period or the full year.

Revenue Recognition

The Company generates substantially all of its revenue from contracts with various agencies of the U.S. Government either as a contractor or subcontractor. Revenue under such contracts is recognized as the related services are performed based on the performance requirements of the relevant contract. Under such agreements, the Company is required to perform specific research and development activities and is compensated either based on the costs or costs plus a mark-up associated with each specific contract over the term of the agreement or when certain milestones are achieved, or when products are delivered and accepted, and recoverability is reasonably assured.

One contract with DHS comprised 18% and 92% of the Company’s revenue for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. One contract under which the Company was a subcontractor for a third-party’s contract with DHS comprised 80% and 5% of the Company’s revenue for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and 100% of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2011.

The Company’s contracts with the U.S. Government are subject to audit by the contracting government agency, generally until the contract is closed out. As of December 31, 2010, the Company had one active contract, which remained subject to audit at such time. This contract was substantially completed by March 31, 2011, and at March 31, 2011 the Company had no active contracts.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable represents amounts billed and due under contracts with the U.S. Government or third-party contractors. Where applicable, accounts receivable are stated net of allowances for doubtful accounts determined based upon specific identification of uncollectible amounts. Management has determined that no allowances for doubtful accounts are necessary for the periods presented.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation is measured at the grant date based on fair value of the award and is recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period. The Company estimates the fair value of the stock-based payment awards on the date of the grant using an option-pricing model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods, generally four years, in the statement of operations.

The Black-Scholes model, which the Company used to determine compensation expense, requires the Company to make several key judgments including:


·

the fair value of the Company’s common stock;

·

the expected life of issued stock options;



F-37



MICROFLUIDIC SYSTEMS

Notes to Financial Statements

(Information as of March 31, 2011 and for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 is unaudited)



·

the expected volatility of the Company’s stock price;

·

the expected dividend yield to be realized over the life of the stock option; and

·

the risk-free interest rate over the expected life of the stock options.


Financial Condition

As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company had a working capital deficit of approximately $1,185,000 and $979,000, respectively, and an accumulated deficit of approximately $2,432,000 and $2,205,000, respectively. The Company has also incurred significant operating losses related to the Company’s funding of projects in the absence of a fully funded contract. The Company does not have any current active contracts, and expects to incur operating losses through December 31, 2011.

As further discussed in Note 8, on May 23, 2011 the Company was acquired by and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of PositiveID Corporation (“PSID”). In connection with the acquisition, PSID paid $250,000 to fund certain accounts payable of MFS and issued shares of PSID common stock valued at $500,000 to two of the sellers in exchange for the cancellation of loans made to MFS of an equal amount.

In July 2011, PSID entered into a financing arrangement that management believes will provide sufficient liquidity to support the Company. PSID could also reduce discretionary spending if necessary to allow continued financial support to the Company. As a result of the acquisition and financial support to be provided by PSID, management believes it will have sufficient funds available to meet its working capital requirements for at least the next twelve months.

4. Advances from Related Parties

In November and December 2010, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, M. Allen Northrup, and its Vice President of Engineering, Farzad Pourahmadi, provided advances to fund working capital needs in an aggregate amount of $120,000. The advances had no repayment terms and no stated interest rate. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, additional advances in an aggregate amount of $380,000 were made.

On April 8, 2011, the Company entered into formal financing agreements with the two executives, in the aggregate amount of $500,000 (inclusive of the $120,000 of advances above), evidenced by promissory notes. As part of the agreements, the principal amount of $500,000 with accrued simple interest at a rate of 9% per annum, was to be paid in full on December 31, 2011. As further discussed in Notes 1 and 8, the notes were repaid in connection with the acquisition of the Company by PSID.

5. Stockholders’ Equity

Common Stock

The Company is authorized to issue 10,000,000 shares of common stock, no par value.

Warrants

In 2002, in connection with an investment in common stock of the Company, warrants were granted to Archangel Bioventures, LLC for 125,000 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $0.60 per share. At the time of the grant, the warrants were fully vested and exercisable. The warrants were not exercised and were to expire on December 20, 2012. In connection with the acquisition of the Company by PSID as discussed in Note 8, the warrants were cancelled.

Stock Option Plans

On September 30, 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the MicroFluidic 2007 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2007 Plan”). Under the 2007 Plan, the number of shares for which options may be granted is approximately 1.4 million. Approximately 0.5 million options have been granted to directors, officers and employees under the 2007 Plan, net of forfeitures, and 0.4 million of the options granted were outstanding as of December 31, 2010.

Awards of options to employees under the 2007 Plan vest over a four-year period, with pro-rata vesting upon the first anniversary of the grant and monthly thereafter. Awards of options have a maximum term of ten years, and the Company generally issues new shares upon exercise.

A summary of option activity under the 2007 Plan as of and for the year ended December 31, 2010 is as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):

The weighted average grant date fair value of options granted during the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 was $0.60 and $0.76 per share, respectively. As of December 31, 2010, there was approximately $100,000 of unrecognized compensation expense related to nonvested stock options, which is expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted-average period of two years. The intrinsic value of stock options outstanding, including exercisable options, at December 31, 2010 was $0.



F-39



MICROFLUIDIC SYSTEMS

Notes to Financial Statements

(Information as of March 31, 2011 and for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 is unaudited)


In July 2010, the Company modified the terms of certain outstanding employee stock options to reduce the exercise price from $1.33 per share to $0.86 per share. Incremental compensation cost related to the modification totaled approximately $70,000 and is being recognized to expense over the remaining vesting period of the related options.

The fair values of options granted were estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes valuation model based on the following weighted-average assumptions for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009:


Expected dividend yield

 

Expected stock price volatility

 

60%

Risk-free interest rate

 

2.6%

Expected life (in years)

 

6.0   


Expected stock price volatility was estimated based on the volatility of the common stock of other companies in the same industry as the Company. The risk-free interest rate was based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. Due to the Company’s lack of historical exercise activity, the expected life of stock options granted was estimated using the midpoint of the vesting period and the contractual term.


There are inherent uncertainties in making estimates about forecasts of future operating results and identifying comparable companies and transactions that may be indicative of the fair value of the Company’s securities. The Company believes that the estimates of the fair value of its common stock at each option grant date were reasonable under the circumstances.

In connection with the acquisition of the Company by PSID as discussed in Note 8, all stock options outstanding at the date of the Acquisition were cancelled.

6. Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability approach. Deferred taxes are recorded based upon the tax impact of items affecting financial reporting and tax filings in different periods. A valuation allowance is provided against net deferred tax assets where the Company determines realization is not currently judged to be more likely than not.

The tax effects of temporary differences and carry-forwards that give rise to significant portions of deferred tax assets and liabilities at December 31, 2010 and 2009 consist of the following (in thousands):

Due to the Company’s lack of earnings history, deferred tax assets have been offset by a full valuation allowance. The change in the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets was an increase of approximately $551,000 and $170,000 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

At December 31, 2010, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards available of approximately $1,700,000, which expire through 2030. Based upon the change of ownership rules under IRC Section 382, the Company expects a change of ownership in conjunction with the acquisition of the Company by PSID in May 2011. As a result, future utilization of the net operating loss carryforwards may be significantly limited as to the amount of use in any particular year, and consequently may be subject to expiration.

The Company files tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and in the various states in which it does business. In general, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal or state income tax examinations for years before December 31, 2007.


The Company recognizes any interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits or exposures in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses. During the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, there was no such interest or penalties.


7. Commitments


The Company leases its office space under a noncancelable operating lease scheduled to expire in January 2012. The lease contains rent concessions and payment escalations, and rent expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Remaining lease payments under the lease total approximately $165,000 as of December 31, 2010.

Rent expense under all operating leases totaled approximately $197,000 and $264,000 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.

8. Subsequent Events

On May 9, 2011, the Company and its stockholders entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with PSID, pursuant to which all of the outstanding capital stock of MFS was acquired by PSID (the “Acquisition”). The Acquisition closed on May 23, 2011.

As consideration for the Acquisition, PSID paid (i) $250,000 to fund certain accounts payable of MFS, (ii) issued 1,250,000 shares of PSID common stock valued at approximately $462,000 to two of the sellers in exchange for the cancellation of loans made to MFS, and (iii) issued 1,125,000 shares of PSID common stock valued at approximately $416,000 to the sellers.

In connection with the Acquisition, PSID is also required to make certain earn-out payments, up to a maximum of $7,000,000 in shares of PSID common stock, upon certain conditions over the next three years (the “Earn-Out Payment”), including MFS meeting revenue and earnings targets. However, PSID is prohibited from making any Earn-Out Payment until stockholder approval is obtained if the aggregate number of shares to be issued, under the Nasdaq Marketplace rules, exceed 19.99% of PSID’s common stock outstanding immediately prior to the closing. In the event PSID is unable to obtain any required stockholder approval, it will be obligated to pay the applicable Earn-Out Payment in cash to the sellers.

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through August 5, 2011, the date the financial statements were available to be issued.

POSITIVEID CORPORATION

Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information


Basis of Pro Forma Presentation


On May 23, 2011, PositiveID Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of MicroFluidic Systems, a California corporation (“MicroFluidic”) (the “Acquisition”). Effective with the closing of the transaction, MicroFluidic became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.


Under the purchase method of accounting the total estimated purchase price as described in Note 1 to this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information was allocated to the net tangible and intangible assets of MicroFluidic acquired in connection with the Acquisition based on their estimated fair values. The estimated fair values of certain assets and liabilities have been determined by management based upon a third-party valuation.


The historical consolidated financial information has been adjusted in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information to give effect to pro forma events that are directly attributable to the acquisition, factually supportable, and expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results. The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations do not reflect a nonrecurring charge of approximately $550,000 recorded by the Company related to the direct costs of the Acquisition.


The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not purport to be indicative of the results of operations of the Company that would have been reported had the Acquisition been completed as of the dates or for such periods presented, nor is it intended to project the Company’s future results of operations. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and the accompanying notes should be read together with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes for the year ended December 31, 2011, Management’s Discussion and Analysis included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2011, and the MicroFluidic audited financial statements and accompanying notes for the year ended December 31, 2010.


The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information for the year ended December 31, 2011 has been prepared from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended  December 31, 2011, which includes the results of MicroFluidic from the date of the acquisition, and from the unaudited financial statements of MicroFluidic for the period from January 1 to May 23, 2011, the date of acquisition.


The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2011 have been prepared to present the Company’s results of operations as if the Acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2011. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not reflect any adjustments for nonrecurring items or anticipated synergies resulting from the Acquisition.

Notes to Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information

(Unaudited)


1. Acquisition of MicroFluidic


On May 23, 2011, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of MicroFluidic in a transaction accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. As consideration for the consummation of the Acquisition, the Company paid $250,000 to fund certain accounts payable of MicroFluidic (of which approximately $24,000 was paid to selling shareholders) and issued 2,375,000 shares of common stock of the Company (the “Stock Consideration”). Additionally, the Company issued a total of 971,429 shares of common stock to its advisor for services rendered in conjunction with the Acquisition. In connection with the Acquisition, the Company is also required to make certain earn-out payments, up to a maximum of $7,000,000, payable in shares of the Company’s common stock or in cash.


The estimated purchase price of the Acquisition totaled approximately $1,653,000, comprised of $24,000 in cash, the Stock Consideration valued at $879,000 (based upon a value of $0.37 per share), and contingent consideration of approximately $750,000. The fair value of the contingent consideration was estimated based upon the present value of the probability-weighted expected future payouts under the earn-out arrangement.


Under the purchase method of accounting, the estimated purchase price of the Acquisition was allocated to MicroFluidic’s net tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values as of the date of the completion of the Acquisition, as described in the introduction to this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, as follows (in thousands):

Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Under Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or the DGCL, a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the person’s conduct was unlawful.

Section 145 also provides that a corporation has the power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation. However, no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.

Expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by an officer or director in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as authorized in Section 145 of the DGCL. Such expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by former directors and officers or other employees and agents may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the corporation deems appropriate.  

Notwithstanding the instances outlined above where a corporation may indemnify its current and former directors and officers, a corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director or officer of the corporation against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of such person’s status as such. Correspondingly, we have purchased and maintain insurance on behalf of our directors and officers against any liability asserted against such directors and officers in their capacities as such.

Our certificate of incorporation and by-laws provide that we shall indemnify, to the full extent permitted by law, any of our current or former directors or officers and that we may indemnify, to the full extent permitted by law, any of our current or former employees or agents against all expense, liability and loss incurred as a result of such service, or as a result of any other service on our behalf, or service at our request as a director, officer, employee member or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise.

Item 16. Exhibits

See Exhibit Index.

Item 17. Undertakings


The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:


(a)(1)          To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement;


(i)           to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;


(ii)         To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement;

(iii)        to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.


(2)           That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.


(3)           To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered hereby which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.


(4)            The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser, if the Registrant is subject to Rule 430C, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.


(b)            Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the provisions above, or otherwise, we been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities, other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by one of our directors, officers, or controlling persons in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding, is asserted by one of our directors, officers, or controlling persons in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, and we will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
