About Digital Angel.net Inc.

In December of 1999, Applied Digital Solutions announced that it had acquired the patent rights to a miniature digital transceiver -- which it has named Digital Angel. Digital Angel will be able to send and receive data and be located by GPS (Global Positioning System) technology. The company believes this technology will enable it to tap into a multi-billion dollar marketplace with a number of applications that will prove to be extremely popular. These potential applications include: monitoring the medical condition of at-risk patients; tracking endangered wildlife or household pets; managing livestock and other farm-related animals; pinpointing the location of valuable stolen property; finding lost airline baggage and postal packages; managing the commodity supply chain; preventing the unauthorized use of firearms; and providing a tamper-proof means of identification for enhanced e-commerce security.

In September of 2000, Applied Digital Solutions acquired Destron Fearing Corporation and merged it into its Digital Angel subsidiary. Destron Fearing, based in South St. Paul, Minnesota, has been in the animal identification business since 1945 and manufactures a broad line of electronic and visual identification devices and information systems for companion animals, livestock, laboratory animals, fish and wildlife.
