PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
The following summary highlights selected information contained in this
prospectus. This summary does not contain all the information you should
consider before investing in the securities. Before making an investment
decision, you should read the entire prospectus carefully, including the "risk
factors" section, the financial statements and the notes to the financial
statements.
APPLIED DNA SCIENCES, INC.
We are a provider of proprietary embedded-DNA biotechnology security
products that protect corporate and intellectual property from counterfeiting,
fraud, piracy, product diversion and unauthorized intrusion. We offer a cost
effective method to detect, deter, interdict and prosecute counterfeiting
enterprises. We use segments of naturally occurring botanical DNA that have
unique characteristics, which are one-of-a-kind sequences. Botanical DNA means
the DNA, or Deoxyribonucleic acid, of plants. DNA is the molecular basis of all
living life forms, including animals and plants. Using various anti-counterfeit
media, or substrates, such as ink, thread, microchips, glue, paints and
holograms, we can authenticate the unique DNA characteristics to ensure that the
product has not been counterfeited or adulterated. Substrates are materials or
substances that can be verified and contain botanical DNA that will interact
with the anti-counterfeit solutions we utilize to determine if a product has
been tampered with or counterfeited.
For the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2005, we did not generate any
revenues and had net losses of $2,444,489. As a result of recurring losses from
operations of $75,425,414 from our inception through September 30, 2005, our
auditors, in their report dated October 21, 2005, have expressed substantial
doubt about our ability to continue as going concern.
Our principal offices are located at 25 Health Sciences Drive, Suite 113,
Stony Brook, New York 11790, and our telephone number is (631) 444-6861. We are
a Nevada corporation. We maintain a website at www.adnas.com. The information
contained on that website is not deemed to be a part of this prospectus.

RISK FACTORS
This investment has a high degree of risk. Before you invest you should
carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below and the other
information in this prospectus. If any of the following risks actually occur,
our business, operating results and financial condition could be harmed and the
value of our stock could go down. This means you could lose all or a part of
your investment.
RISKS RELATING TO OUR BUSINESS
We Have a History Of Losses Which May Continue, Which May Negatively Impact Our
Ability to Achieve Our Business Objectives.
We incurred net losses of $2,444,489 for the fiscal quarter ended December
31, 2005, $52,610,380 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005, and
$19,358,259 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2004. We cannot assure you
that we can achieve or sustain profitability on a quarterly or annual basis in
the future. Our operations are subject to the risks and competition inherent in
the establishment of a business enterprise. There can be no assurance that
future operations will be profitable. Our revenues and profits, if any, will
depend upon various factors, including whether we will be able to generate
revenue. As we continue to incur losses, our accumulated deficit will continue
to increase, which might make it harder for us to obtain financing in the
future. We may not achieve our business objectives and the failure to achieve
such goals would have an adverse impact on us, which could result in reducing or
terminating our operations.
If We Are Unable to Obtain Additional Funding Our Business Operations Will be
Harmed and If We Do Obtain Additional Financing Our Then Existing Shareholders
May Suffer Substantial Dilution.
We will require additional funds to sustain and expand our research and
development activities. We anticipate that we will require up to approximately
$500,000 to fund our anticipated research and development operations for the
next twelve months, depending on revenue from operations. Additional capital
will be required to effectively support the operations and to otherwise
implement our overall business strategy. Even if we do receive additional
financing, it may not be sufficient to sustain or expand our research and
development operations or continue our business operations.
There can be no assurance that financing will be available in amounts or on
terms acceptable to us, if at all. The inability to obtain additional capital
will restrict our ability to grow and may reduce our ability to continue to
conduct business operations. If we are unable to obtain additional financing, we
will likely be required to curtail our research and development plans. Any
additional equity financing may involve substantial dilution to our then
existing shareholders.
Our Independent Auditors Have Expressed Substantial Doubt About Our Ability to
Continue As a Going Concern, Which May Hinder Our Ability to Obtain Future
Financing.
In their report dated October 21, 2005, our independent auditors stated
that our financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2005 were
prepared assuming that we would continue as a going concern. Our ability to
continue as a going concern is an issue raised due to our incurring net losses
of $75,425,414 during the period from September 16, 2002 (date of inception) to
September 30, 2005. We continue to experience net operating losses. Our ability
to continue as a going concern is subject to our ability to generate a profit
and/or obtain necessary funding from outside sources, including obtaining
additional funding from the sale of our securities, generating sales or
obtaining loans and grants from various financial institutions where possible.
Our continued net operating losses increase the difficulty in meeting such goals
and there can be no assurances that such methods will prove successful.
Our Research and Development Efforts for New Products May be Unsuccessful.
We will incur significant research and development expenses to develop new
products and technologies. There can be no assurance that any of these products
or technologies will be successfully developed or that if developed they will be
commercially successful. In the event that we are unable to develop
commercialized products from our research and development efforts or we are
unable or unwilling to allocate amounts beyond our currently anticipated
research and development investment, we could lose our entire investment in
these new products and this may materially and adversely affect our business
operations, which would result in loss of revenues and greater operating
expenses.
3
Our Acquired Technology Has Yet to be Independently Validated
In July 2005, we acquired certain intellectual property. Such intellectual
property relating to the botanical DNA, encapsulation methods, integrity of the
technology and all other stated claims by the seller need to be independently
validated by a third party. Satisfactory completion of this independent
validation will be required prior to their being available for commercial sale.
In the event that some or all of the technology cannot be independently
validated, we will be unable to commercially develop products utilizing such
technology, which could have a materially adverse effect on our business and
results of operations.
Failure to License New Technologies Could Impair Our New Product Development.
To generate broad product lines, it is advantageous to sometimes license
technologies from third parties rather than depend exclusively on our own
employees. As a result, we believe our ability to license new technologies from
third parties is and will continue to be important to our ability to offer new
products.
In addition, from time to time we are notified or become aware of patents
held by third parties that are related to technologies we are selling or may
sell in the future. After a review of these patents, we may decide to seek a
license for these technologies from these third parties or discontinue our
products. There can be no assurance that we will be able to continue to
successfully identify new technologies developed by others. Even if we are able
to identify new technologies of interest, we may not be able to negotiate a
license on favorable terms, or at all. If we lose the rights to patented
technology, we may need to discontinue selling certain products or redesign our
products, and we may lose a competitive advantage. Potential competitors could
license technologies that we fail to license and potentially erode our market
share for certain products. Our licenses typically subject us to various
commercializations, sublicensing, minimum payment, and other obligations. If we
fail to comply with these requirements, we could lose important rights under a
license. In addition, certain rights granted under the license could be lost for
reasons beyond our control. We may not receive significant indemnification from
a licensor against third party claims of intellectual property infringement.
We Currently Have Limited Manufacturing, Sales, Marketing or Distribution
Capabilities.
We currently have limited in-house manufacturing capability. We rely on
Biowell Technology, Inc. and third-party vendors for this service. We do not
currently have any arrangements with any distributors and we may not be able to
enter into arrangements with qualified distributors on acceptable terms or at
all. We currently have a limited sales and marketing team. If we are not able to
develop greater sales, marketing or distribution capacity, we may not be able to
generate revenue or sufficient revenue to support our operations.
If We Fail to Introduce New Products, or Our Existing Products are not Accepted
by Potential Customers, We May Not Gain or May Lose Market Share.
Rapid technological changes and frequent new product introductions are
typical for the markets we serve. Our future success will depend in part on
continuous, timely development and introduction of new products that address
evolving market requirements. We believe successful new product introductions
provide a significant competitive advantage because customers invest their time
in selecting and learning to use new products, and are often reluctant to switch
products. To the extent we fail to introduce new and innovative products, we may
lose market share to our competitors, which will be difficult or impossible to
regain. Any inability, for technological or other reasons, to successfully
develop and introduce new products could reduce our growth rate or damage our
business.
We may experience delays in the development and introduction of products.
We cannot assure that we will keep pace with the rapid rate of change in life
sciences research or that our new products will adequately meet the requirements
of the marketplace or achieve market acceptance. Some of the factors affecting
market acceptance of new products include:
o availability, quality and price relative to competitive products;
o the timing of introduction of the product relative to competitive
products;
o customers' opinions of the products' utility;
o ease of use;
o consistency with prior practices;
o scientists' opinions of the products' usefulness;
o citation of the product in published research; and
o general trends in life sciences research.
4
We have not experienced any difficulties with the preceding factors,
however, there can be no assurance that we will not experience difficulties in
the future. The expenses or losses associated with unsuccessful product
development or lack of market acceptance of our new products could materially
adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.
A Manufacturer's Inability to Produce Our Goods on Time and to Our
Specifications Could Result in Lost Revenue and Net Losses.
We do not own or operate any manufacturing facilities and therefore depend
upon independent third parties for the manufacture of all of our products. Our
products are manufactured to our specifications. The inability of a manufacturer
to ship orders of our products in a timely manner or to meet our quality
standards could cause us to miss the delivery date requirements of our customers
for those items, which could result in cancellation of orders, refusal to accept
deliveries or a reduction in purchase prices, any of which could have a material
adverse effect as our revenues would decrease and we would incur net losses as a
result of sales of the product, if any sales could be made. Because of our
business, the dates on which customers need and require shipments of our
security products from us are critical.
If We Need to Replace Manufacturers, Our Expenses Could Increase Resulting in
Smaller Profit Margins.
We compete with other companies for the production capacity of our
manufacturers and import quota capacity. Some of these competitors have greater
financial and other resources than we have, and thus may have an advantage in
the competition for production and import quota capacity. If we experience a
significant increase in demand, or if an existing manufacturer of ours must be
replaced, we may have to expand our third-party manufacturing capacity. We
cannot assure you that this additional capacity will be available when required
on terms that are acceptable to us or similar to existing terms which we have
with our manufacturers, either from a production standpoint or a financial
standpoint. We do not have long-term contracts with any manufacturer. None of
the manufacturers we use produces our products exclusively.
Should we be forced to replace one or more of our manufacturers, we may
experience an adverse financial impact, or an adverse operational impact, such
as being forced to pay increased costs for such replacement manufacturing or
delays upon distribution and delivery of our products to our customers, which
could cause us to lose customers or lose revenues because of late shipments.
If a Manufacturer of Ours Fails to Use Acceptable Labor Practices, We Might Have
Delays in Shipments or Face Joint Liability for Violations, Resulting in
Decreased Revenue and Increased Expenses.
While we require our independent manufacturers to operate in compliance
with applicable laws and regulations, we have no control over the ultimate
actions of our independent manufacturers. While our internal and vendor
operating guidelines promote ethical business practices and our staff and buying
agents periodically visit and monitor the operations of our independent
manufacturers, we do not control these manufacturers or their labor practices.
The violation of labor or other laws by an independent manufacturer of ours, or
by one of our licensing partners, or the divergence of an independent
manufacturer's or licensing partner's labor practices from those generally
accepted as ethical in the United States, could interrupt, or otherwise disrupt
the shipment of finished products to us or damage our reputation. Any of these,
in turn, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and
results of operations, such as the loss of potential revenue and incurring
additional expenses.
The Failure To Manage Our Growth In Operations And Acquisitions Of New Product
Lines And New Businesses Could Have A Material Adverse Effect On Us.
The expected growth of our operations (as to which no representation can be
made) will place a significant strain on our current management resources. To
manage this expected growth, we will need to improve our:
o operations and financial systems;
o procedures and controls; and
o training and management of our employees.
Our future growth may be attributable to acquisitions of and new product
lines and new businesses. We expect that future acquisitions, if successfully
consummated, will create increased working capital requirements, which will
likely precede by several months any material contribution of an acquisition to
our net income.
5
Our failure to manage growth or future acquisitions successfully could
seriously harm our operating results. Also, acquisition costs could cause our
quarterly operating results to vary significantly. Furthermore, our stockholders
would be diluted if we financed the acquisitions by incurring convertible debt
or issuing securities.
Although we currently only have operations within the United States, if we
were to acquire an international operation; we will face additional risks,
including:
o difficulties in staffing, managing and integrating international
operations due to language, cultural or other differences;
o different or conflicting regulatory or legal requirements;
o foreign currency fluctuations; and
o diversion of significant time and attention of our management.
If We Are Unable to Retain the Services of Messrs. Sheu, Hayward or Liang, or If
We Are Unable to Successfully Recruit Qualified Managerial and Sales Personnel
Having Experience in Business, We May Not Be Able to Continue Our Operations.
Our success depends to a significant extent upon the continued service of
Dr. Jun-Jei Sheu, the Chairman of our Board of Directors; Dr. James A. Hayward,
our Chief Executive Officer; and Dr. Benjamin Liang, our Secretary and Strategic
Technology Development Officer. We do not have employment agreements with Drs.
Sheu, Hayward or Liang. Loss of the services of Drs. Sheu, Hayward or Liang
could have a material adverse effect on our growth, revenues, and prospective
business. We do not maintain key-man insurance on the life of Drs. Sheu, Hayward
or Liang. We are not aware of any named executive officer or director who has
plans to leave us or retire. In addition, in order to successfully implement and
manage our business plan, we will be dependent upon, among other things,
successfully recruiting qualified managerial and sales personnel having
experience in business. Competition for qualified individuals is intense. There
can be no assurance that we will be able to find, attract and retain existing
employees or that we will be able to find, attract and retain qualified
personnel on acceptable terms.
Failure to Attract and Retain Qualified Scientific or Production Personnel Could
Have a Material Adverse Effect On Us.
Recruiting and retaining qualified scientific and production personnel to
perform research and development work and product manufacturing is critical to
our success. Because the industry in which we compete is very competitive, we
face significant challenges attracting and retaining a qualified personnel base.
Although we believe we have been and will be able to attract and retain these
personnel, there is no assurance that we will be able to continue to
successfully attract qualified personnel. In addition, our anticipated growth
and expansion into areas and activities requiring additional expertise, such as
clinical testing, government approvals, production, and marketing will require
the addition of new management personnel and the development of additional
expertise by existing management personnel. The failure to attract and retain
these personnel or, alternatively, to develop this expertise internally would
adversely affect our business as our ability to conduct research and development
will be reduced or eliminated, resulting in fewer or no products for sale and
lower revenues. We generally do not enter into employment agreements requiring
these employees to continue in our employment for any period of time.
We Need to Expand Our Sales and Support Organizations to Increase Market
Acceptance of Our Products.
We currently have a small customer service and support organization and
will need to increase our staff to support new customers and the expanding needs
of existing customers. The employment market for sales personnel, and customer
service and support personnel in this industry is very competitive, and we may
not be able to hire the kind and number of sales personnel, customer service and
support personnel we are targeting. Our inability to hire qualified sales,
customer service and support personnel may materially adversely affect our
business, operating results and financial condition.
The DNA Security Technology Industry is Very Competitive, and We may be Unable
to Continue to Compete Effectively in this Industry in the Future.
We are engaged in a segment of the DNA security technology industry that is
highly competitive. We compete with many other suppliers and new competitors
continue to enter the market. Many of our competitors, both in the United States
and elsewhere, also work with major pharmaceutical, chemical and biotechnology
companies, and many of them have substantially greater capital resources,
marketing experience, research and development staff, and facilities than we do.
Any of these companies could succeed in developing products that are more
effective than the products that we have or may develop and may be more
6
successful than us in producing and marketing their products. It is impossible
to quantify the number of competitors since they include both the companies we
attempt to sell our products and services to through their use of internal
security and various other security product companies. Some of the
anti-counterfeiting and fraud protection competitors that we are aware of
include: Authentix, InkSure, DNA Technologies, Inc., Art Guard International,
Theft Protection Systems, Tracetag and November AG. Although it is impossible to
determine the total market size and market data information because companies
are secretive about what security methods they utilize and how much they spend
on such measures, we have determined that approximate annual sales by some of
our competitors have been as follows:
InkSure - $1 million
DNA Technologies, Inc. - $22.6 million
November AG - $5.8 million
We expect this competition to continue and intensify in the future.
Competition in our markets is primarily driven by:
o product performance, features and liability;
o price;
o timing of product introductions;
o ability to develop, maintain and protect proprietary products and
technologies;
o sales and distribution capabilities;
o technical support and service;
o brand loyalty;
o applications support; and
o breadth of product line.
If a competitor develops superior technology or cost-effective alternatives
to our products, our business, financial condition and results of operations
could be materially adversely affected.
Our Trademark and Other Intellectual Property Rights May not be Adequately
Protected Outside the United States, Resulting in Loss of Revenue.
We believe that our trademarks, whether licensed or owned by us, and other
proprietary rights are important to our success and our competitive position. In
the course of our international expansion, we may, however, experience conflict
with various third parties who acquire or claim ownership rights in certain
trademarks. We cannot assure that the actions we have taken to establish and
protect these trademarks and other proprietary rights will be adequate to
prevent imitation of our products by others or to prevent others from seeking to
block sales of our products as a violation of the trademarks and proprietary
rights of others. Also, we cannot assure you that others will not assert rights
in, or ownership of, trademarks and other proprietary rights of ours or that we
will be able to successfully resolve these types of conflicts to our
satisfaction. In addition, the laws of certain foreign countries may not protect
proprietary rights to the same extent, as do the laws of the United States.
Intellectual Property Litigation Could Harm Our Business.
Litigation regarding patents and other intellectual property rights is
extensive in the biotechnology industry. In the event of an intellectual
property dispute, we may be forced to litigate. This litigation could involve
proceedings instituted by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office or the
International Trade Commission, as well as proceedings brought directly by
affected third parties. Intellectual property litigation can be extremely
expensive, and these expenses, as well as the consequences should we not
prevail, could seriously harm our business.
If a third party claims an intellectual property right to technology we
use, we might need to discontinue an important product or product line, alter
our products and processes, pay license fees or cease our affected business
activities. Although we might under these circumstances attempt to obtain a
license to this intellectual property, we may not be able to do so on favorable
terms, or at all. We are currently not aware of any intellectual property rights
that are being infringed nor have we received notice from a third party that we
may be infringing on any of their patents.

Furthermore, a third party may claim that we are using inventions covered
by the third party's patent rights and may go to court to stop us from engaging
in our normal operations and activities, including making or selling our product
candidates. These lawsuits are costly and could affect our results of operations
and divert the attention of managerial and technical personnel. There is a risk
that a court would decide that we are infringing the third party's patents and
would order us to stop the activities covered by the patents. In addition, there
is a risk that a court will order us to pay the other party damages for having
violated the other party's patents. The biotechnology industry has produced a
proliferation of patents, and it is not always clear to industry participants,
including us, which patents cover various types of products or methods of use.
The coverage of patents is subject to interpretation by the courts, and the
interpretation is not always uniform. If we are sued for patent infringement, we
would need to demonstrate that our products or methods of use either do not
infringe the patent claims of the relevant patent and/or that the patent claims
are invalid, and we may not be able to do this. Proving invalidity, in
particular, is difficult since it requires a showing of clear and convincing
evidence to overcome the presumption of validity enjoyed by issued patents.
Because some patent applications in the United States may be maintained in
secrecy until the patents are issued, because patent applications in the United
States and many foreign jurisdictions are typically not published until eighteen
months after filing, and because publications in the scientific literature often
lag behind actual discoveries, we cannot be certain that others have not filed
patent applications for technology covered by our licensors' issued patents or
our pending applications or our licensors' pending applications or that we or
our licensors were the first to invent the technology. Our competitors may have
filed, and may in the future file, patent applications covering technology
similar to ours. Any such patent application may have priority over our or our
licensors' patent applications and could further require us to obtain rights to
issued patents covering such technologies. If another party has filed a United
States patent application on inventions similar to ours, we may have to
participate in an interference proceeding declared by the United States Patent
and Trademark Office to determine priority of invention in the United States.
The costs of these proceedings could be substantial, and it is possible that
such efforts would be unsuccessful, resulting in a loss of our United States
patent position with respect to such inventions.
Some of our competitors may be able to sustain the costs of complex patent
litigation more effectively than we can because they have substantially greater
resources. In addition, any uncertainties resulting from the initiation and
continuation of any litigation could have a material adverse effect on our
ability to raise the funds necessary to continue our operations.
Accidents Related to Hazardous Materials Could Adversely Affect Our Business.
Some of our operations require the controlled use of hazardous materials.
Although we believe our safety procedures comply with the standards prescribed
by federal, state, local and foreign regulations, the risk of accidental
contamination of property or injury to individuals from these materials cannot
be completely eliminated. In the event of an accident, we could be liable for
any damages that result, which could seriously damage our business and results
of operations.
Potential Product Liability Claims Could Affect Our Earnings and Financial
Condition.
We face a potential risk of liability claims based on our products and
services, and we have faced such claims in the past. We currently do not have
any product liability coverage but are attempting to obtain coverage which we
will believe to be adequate. We cannot assure, however, that we will be able to
obtain or maintain this insurance at reasonable cost and on reasonable terms. We
also cannot assure that this insurance, if obtained, will be adequate to protect
us against a product liability claim, should one arise. In the event that a
product liability claim is successfully brought against us, it could result in a
significant decrease in our liquidity or assets, which could result in the
reduction or termination of our business.
Litigation Generally Could Affect Our Financial Condition and Results of
Operations.
We generally may be subject to claims made by and required to respond to
litigation brought by former employees, former officers and directors, and
vendors and service providers. We have faced such claims in the past and we
cannot assure that we will not be subject to claims in the future. In the event
that a claim is successfully brought against us, considering our lack of revenue
and the losses our business has incurred for the period from our inception to
December 31, 2005, this could result in a significant decrease in our liquidity
or assets, which could result in the reduction or termination of our business.
8
Our Failure to File a Registration Statement Could Affect Our Financial
Condition and Results of Operations.
In June 2005, we engaged Trilogy Capital Partners, Inc. ("Trilogy") as
consultants. In connection with that engagement we issued Trilogy warrants to
purchase 7,500,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $0.55 per share. We
also agreed to file a registration statement with the SEC with respect to the
shares underlying such warrants no later than the earlier to occur of: (i) 15
days following the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this
prospectus forms a part, or (ii) September 15, 2005. As of the date hereof we
have not filed a registration statement with respect to the shares of our common
stock underlying the warrants we issued to Trilogy. In the event that a claim is
successfully brought by Trilogy against us with respect to this matter, it could
result in a significant decrease in our liquidity or assets, which could result
in the reduction or termination of our business.
We are Obligated to Pay Liquidated Damages As a Result of Our Failure to Have
this Registration Statement Declared Effective Prior to June 15, 2005, and any
Payment of Liquidated Damages Will Either Result in Depletion of Our Working
Capital or Issuance of Shares of Common Stock Which Would Cause Dilution to Our
Existing Shareholders.
Pursuant to the terms of our private placement that closed in January and
February 2005, if we did not have a registration statement registering the
shares underlying the convertible notes and warrants declared effective on or
before June 15, 2005, we are obligated to pay liquidated damages in the amount
of 3.5% per month of the face amount of the notes until the registration
statement is declared effective. At our option, these liquidated damages can be
paid in cash or restricted shares of our common stock. Thus far we have decided
to pay the liquidated damages in common stock, although any future payments of
liquidated damages may, at our option, be made in cash. If we decide to pay such
liquidated damages in cash, we would be required to use our limited working
capital and potentially raise additional funds. If we decide to pay the
liquidated damages in shares of common stock, the number of shares issued would
depend on our stock price at the time that payment is due. Based on the closing
market prices of $0.66, $0.58, $0.70, $0.49, $0.32 and $0.20 for our common
stock on July 15, 2005, August 15, 2005, September 15, 2005, October 17, 2005,
November 15, 2005 and December 15, 2005, respectively, we issued a total of
3,807,375 shares of common stock in liquidated damages from August, 2005 to
January, 2006. The issuance of shares upon payment of liquidated damages will
have the effect of further diluting the proportionate equity interest and voting
power of holders of our common stock, including investors in this offering.
Liquidated damages in the form of common stock were paid for the period
from June 15, 2005 to December 15, 2005. We believe that we have no enforceable
obligation to pay further liquidated damages since the shares we agreed to
register for resale are eligible for resale under Rule 144 of the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, and such continuing liquidated damages are grossly
inconsistent with actual damages to the purchasers of the notes and warrants.
However, we are seeking to confirm this position by obtaining the waiver and
release of the holders of these securities of further liquidated damages. If
these persons do not waive and release and successfully bring a claim against us
with respect to such liquidated damages, it could result in a significant
decrease in our liquidity or assets, which could result in the reduction or
termination of our business.
Potential Liability Resulting From Issuance and Resale of Stock
During the months of July and August 2005, we issued a total of 8,550,000
shares of our common stock to nine employees and consultants pursuant to the
2005 Incentive Stock Plan. These shares were not registered under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, or the securities laws of any state. Further, these
shares were issued without a restrictive legend prohibiting their resale except
in compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. We believe that
certain of these shares may have subsequently been sold on the open market but
have been unable to determine the magnitude of such sales. We are currently
investigating the circumstances surrounding the issuance of these shares, the
possible subsequent resale of certain of these shares on the open market and any
possible violation of securities laws. If such violations of securities laws
occurred, the nine employees and consultants or persons who purchased shares
from them may have rights to have their purchase rescinded or other claims
against us for violation of securities laws, which could significantly decrease
liquidity of assets, which could result in the reduction or termination of our
business.
9
RISKS RELATING TO OUR COMMON STOCK
There Are a Large Number of Shares Underlying Our Options and Warrants That May
be Available for Future Sale and the Sale of These Shares May Depress the Market
Price of Our Common Stock and Will Cause Immediate and Substantial Dilution to
Our Existing Stockholders.
As of March 31, 2006, we had 118,582,385 shares of common stock issued and
outstanding and outstanding options and warrants to purchase 4,260,000 shares of
common stock. All of the shares issuable upon exercise of our options and
warrants may be sold without restriction. The sale of these shares may adversely
affect the market price of our common stock. The issuance of shares upon
exercise of options and warrants will cause immediate and substantial dilution
to the interests of other stockholders since the selling stockholders may
convert and sell the full amount issuable on exercise.
If We Fail to Remain Current on Our Reporting Requirements, We Could be Removed
From the OTC Bulletin Board Which Would Limit the Ability of Broker-Dealers to
Sell Our Securities and the Ability of Stockholders to Sell Their Securities in
the Secondary Market.
Companies trading on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board (the "OTC Bulletin
Board"), such as us, must be reporting issuers under Section 12 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and must be current in their
reports under Section 13, in order to maintain price quotation privileges on the
OTC Bulletin Board. If we fail to remain current on our reporting requirements,
we could be removed from the OTC Bulletin Board. As a result, the market
liquidity for our securities could be severely adversely affected by limiting
the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and the ability of
stockholders to sell their securities in the secondary market. Prior to May 2001
and new management, we were delinquent in our reporting requirements, having
failed to file our quarterly and annual reports for the years ended 1998 - 2000
(except the quarterly reports for the first two quarters of 1999). We have been
current in our reporting requirements for the last three years, however, there
can be no assurance that in the future we will always be current in our
reporting requirements.
Our Common Stock is Subject to the "Penny Stock" Rules of the SEC and the
Trading Market in Our Securities is Limited, Which Makes Transactions in Our
Stock Cumbersome and May Reduce the Value of an Investment in Our Stock.
The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which
establishes the definition of a "penny stock," for the purposes relevant to us,
as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or
with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain
exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the
rules require:
o that a broker or dealer approve a person's account for transactions in
penny stocks; and
o the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to
the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny
stock to be purchased.
In order to approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks,
the broker or dealer must:
o obtain financial information and investment experience objectives of
the person; and
o make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks
are suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge
and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the
risks of transactions in penny stocks.
The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny
stock, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the Commission relating to the penny
stock market, which, in highlight form:
o sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the
suitability determination; and
o that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from
the investor prior to the transaction.
Generally, brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in
securities subject to the "penny stock" rules. This may make it more difficult
for investors to dispose of our common stock and cause a decline in the market
value of our stock.
Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks
in both public offerings and in secondary trading and about the commissions
payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current
quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an
investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly
statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny
stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.

USE OF PROCEEDS
This prospectus relates to shares of our common stock that may be offered
and sold from time to time by the selling stockholders. We will not receive any
proceeds from the sale of shares of common stock in this offering.
MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
Our Common Stock is traded over-the-counter on The Over The Counter
Bulletin Board (the "OTC Bulletin Board") maintained by the National Association
of Securities Dealers under the symbol "APDN." There is no certainty assurance
that the Common Stock will continue to be quoted or that any liquidity exists
for our shareholders.
The following table sets forth the quarterly quotes of high and low prices
for our Common Stock on the OTC Bulletin Board during the fiscal years ended
September 30, 2004 and September 30, 2005 and the first two fiscal quarters of
the fiscal year ending September 30, 2006. In February of 2003, we changed our
year end to September 30. We changed our fiscal year end in connection with a
reverse merger we entered into in December 2002, in which the acquirer for
accounting purposes had a fiscal year end of September 30. For ease of fiscal
reporting, we adopted the same fiscal year end.

HOLDERS
As of March 31, 2006, we had approximately 1,345 holders of our common
stock. The number of record holders was determined from the records of our
transfer agent and does not include beneficial owners of common stock whose
shares are held in the names of various security brokers, dealers, and
registered clearing agencies. The transfer agent of our common stock is American
Stock Transfer & Trust Company, 6201 15th Avenue, Brooklyn, New York 11219.
DIVIDENDS
We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock. We
do not anticipate paying any cash dividends to stockholders in the foreseeable
future. In addition, any future determination to pay cash dividends will be at
the discretion of the Board of Directors and will be dependent upon our
financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, and such other
factors as the Board of Directors deem relevant.
EQUITY COMPENSATION PLAN INFORMATION
2002 Professional/Employee/Consultant Compensation Plan
In November of 2002, we created a special compensation plan to pay the
founders, consultants and professionals that had been contributing valuable
services to us during the previous nine months. This plan, under which 2,000,000
shares of our common stock were reserved for issuance, is called the
11
Professional/Employee/ Consultant Compensation Plan (the "Compensation Plan").
Share and option issuances from the Compensation Plan were to be staggered over
the following six to eight months, and consultants that were to continue
providing services thereafter either became employees or received renewed
contracts from us in July of 2003, which contracts contained a more traditional
cash compensation component. Each qualified and eligible recipient of shares
and/or options under the Compensation Plan received securities in lieu of cash
payment for services. Each recipient agreed, in his or her respective consulting
contract with us, to sell a limited number of shares monthly.
In our financial statements, shares that are disclosed as having been
issued from November 2002 through June 30, 2003 that were valued at $0.065 per
share were shares issued from the Compensation Plan on the basis of contracts
executed at that time for previously rendered services. Common Stock disclosed
as being issued in exchange for cash at $1.00 per share represent options that
were exercised under the Compensation Plan. In December of 2004, we adjusted the
exercise price of options under the Compensation Plan to $0.60 per share. As of
March 31, 2006, a total of 1,440,000 shares have been issued from, and options
to purchase 560,000 shares have been issued under the Compensation Plan, and
options to purchase 264,000 shares have been exercised as of that date.
2005 Incentive Stock Plan
On January 26, 2005, the Board of Directors, and on February 15, 2005, the
holders of a majority of the outstanding common stock of the Company approved
the Company's 2005 Incentive Stock Plan and authorized the issuance of
16,000,000 shares of common stock as stock awards and stock options thereunder.
The 2005 Incentive Stock Plan is designed to retain directors, executives, and
selected employees and consultants by rewarding them for making contributions to
our success with an award of shares of our common stock. As of March 31, 2006, a
total of 8,550,000 shares have been issued and options to purchase 4,260,000
shares have been granted under the 2005 Incentive Stock Plan.
During the months of July and August 2005, we issued a total of 8,550,000
shares of our common stock to nine employees and consultants pursuant to the
2005 Incentive Stock Plan. These shares were not registered under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, or the securities laws of any state. Further, these
shares were issued without a restrictive legend prohibiting their resale except
in compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. We believe that
certain of these shares may have subsequently been sold on the open market but
have been unable to determine the magnitude of such sales. We are currently
investigating the circumstances surrounding the issuance of these shares, the
possible subsequent resale of certain of these shares on the open market and any
possible violation of securities laws. If such violations of securities laws
occurred, such nine employees and consultants or persons who purchased shares
from them may have rights to have their purchase rescinded or other claims
against us for violations of securities laws, which could significantly decrease
liquidity of assets, which could result in the reduction or termination of our
business.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND PLAN OF OPERATIONS
Some of the information in this Form SB-2 contains forward-looking
statements that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. You can identify
these statements by forward-looking words such as "may," "will," "expect,"
"anticipate," "believe," "estimate" and "continue," or similar words. You should
read statements that contain these words carefully because they:
o discuss our future expectations;
o contain projections of our future results of operations or of our
financial condition; and
o state other "forward-looking" information.
We believe it is important to communicate our expectations. However, there
may be events in the future that we are not able to accurately predict or over
which we have no control. Our actual results and the timing of certain events
could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking
statements as a result of certain factors, including those set forth under "Risk
Factors," "Business" and elsewhere in this prospectus. See "Risk Factors."
PLAN OF OPERATIONS
Sales and Marketing
Our revenues will come from three sources:
o direct sales to manufacturers, distributors, and/or retailers;
o sales through our OEM relationships; and
o authentication (laboratory) services.
We employ a multi-tier sales and marketing strategy involving our marketing
and sales staff working together with high-level contacts in target industries
and our OEM base. We are attempting to develop strategic alliances and marketing
partners by setting up alliances with Biowell's technology partners, granting
licenses to existing anti-counterfeit suppliers and partner with industry
leaders for intellectual property development.
We are cognizant that no technology exists today to enable someone in the
street to ascertain, at the point of purchase, whether an expensive product, or
a child's foodstuff, or pharmaceutical product is genuine, worth the money being
paid and safe to use or ingest. No brand owner is able to rapidly determine
whether a product is real of fake. Many multi-billion dollar brands have no
technology to protect against counterfeiting, to detect its occurrence and to
interdict or prosecute the counterfeiter. No company has the capability to
determine with forensic certainty that it is subject to attack. Such companies
remain seriously exposed to product liability, loss of consumer confidence and
loss of revenues. Governments have no rapid detection system to determine at the
point of entry, inspection or seizure whether products are real or fake. A major
thrust of our marketing efforts is to work with consumer groups, media,
corporate officers, government departments, Customs, insurers and others to
bring home the message that, in a world of criminality and terrorism, no-one is
safe.
Business Strategy and Approach
We have established integrated business operations addressing and servicing
the needs of the global security marketplace on the part of corporations and
governments for; anti-counterfeiting, fraud prevention, product authentication,
brand protection, supply chain management and protection.
Intellectual Property Development, Product Operations & Partnerships
We have proprietary DNA security technology, and develop security solutions
that protect corporate and intellectual property from counterfeiting, fraud,
piracy and product diversion using botanical DNA as an encrypted/code molecule
that can be embedded in inks, paper, substrates, liquids, textiles, thread,
plastics, holograms and microchips.
We produce security solutions customized to our customer's needs. We market
and sell DNA anti-counterfeit and fraud prevention solutions that integrate
into, and layer with, existing security solutions. These DNA security features
are integrated at the original equipment manufacturer level with ink, paper,
liquids, thread and hologram producers, who in turn sell/supply finished
security products such as primary and secondary product packaging for
pharmaceuticals, beauty products, textiles, currency, passports, ID cards, etc.
We have strict protocols for specifying, integrating, testing, shipping and
confirming the presence of DNA in any given product.
13
We plan to develop new product lines that will address specific new
challenges in the security marketplace, and bring these advances to target
industries, customers and countries.
Additionally, we will identify strategic partnerships and co-marketing
ventures, and licensees to work with us to develop, market and sell our
biotechnological security products. This will include sub-licensing the
technology to key partners in specific sectors with an established base of
customers. These partners will be able to enhance their product lines and client
services by adding our technology to the existing security matrix in their
products, providing an enhanced solution to deter fraud and counterfeiting.
Management Strategy
We anticipate a period of rapid change as we begin commercialization of the
products now available subsequent to: (a) the signing of our licenses with
Biowell, (b) the establishment of our prototyping labs at the State University
of New York at Stony Brook ("Stony Brook University"), and (c) the availability
of products that have recently been commercialized in Asia by Biowell.
We have organized our resources to manage our commercialization
effectively, optimizing the delivery of new prototypes for customers, and
managing outsourcing especially through our OEMs. Our Chief Executive Officer is
responsible for the strategic direction, coordinating with our overseas
technology partner Biowell, scientific development, operations and corporate
governance, business development and sales, including relations with US and
foreign government agencies, developing business relationships with target
corporations and OEM's, and securing revenues. Our Controller and acting Chief
Financial Officer cover overall financial management, financial reporting,
corporate administration and investors relations. Our marketing department
develops strategic awareness of our technologies across target industry sectors,
their associated media and lobbying companies and liaises with regulatory bodies
(EPA, FDA, etc) and industry Associations (CTFA, PHARMA, etc). Our Chairman
oversees the operations of Biowell, including the development of all Asian
territorial sales that are subject to Royalty Payments due to Applied DNA
Sciences, Inc. Both our Chairman and our Strategic Technology Development
Officer manage the development of core DNA sciences for current and future
applications. Our Strategic Technology Development Officer is principally
engaged in the productization of DNA markers for specific industry applications,
and for liaison with corresponding scientists from our principal OEM partners,
e.g., petroleum markers, chemical markers, markers for precious stones,
DNA-encrypted inks, DNA markers for the pharmaceutical industry, etc.
Consultant & Enforcement Operations
As nations are threatened by terrorism and corporations try to prevent
corporate fraud, counterfeiting, product diversion and industrial espionage, the
need for secure anti-counterfeiting and identification systems increases. Our
technology can provide important and cost-effective support for local, state,
and federal governments as well as corporations doing business with highly
sensitive information or products susceptible to counterfeit. Our
anti-counterfeiting technology can be used for the following types of
identification and important government documents:
o Passports
o Green cards
o Visas
o Driver's licenses
o Social Security cards
o Student visas
o Military ID's
o Other important Identity cards and official documents
We intend to work in collaboration with Biowell and other security
organizations in order to continue to research and develop new product lines
derived from, but not limited to, DNA technology. Research and development of
new product lines is an ongoing commitment and is currently underway in the
Biowell labs and will continue in the U.S. at our new facilities established at
the Long Island High Technology Incubator (LIHTI) at Stony Brook University.
Research and development objectives include the development of a new line of
detection technologies that will provide faster and more convenient ways to
authenticate DNA, continuous effort to incorporate our DNA markers with various
14
products for new applications, and establishment of a leading DNA authentication
service lab. We believe that we will obtain commercial revenues for these
efforts within 12-24 months, although no assurances can be given that we will
ever generate revenues. Our prototyping laboratory will customize
"off-the-shelf" products for new customers on a case-by-case basis. These new
products are typically newly configured labels, inks or packing elements. We
have identified several options for remote detection and faster detection
methodologies.
We will consult with our clients on a total security service offering; how
to protect their brands, intellectual property, products and physical security
access and how to reduce risk exposure, product liability exposure and product
recall liabilities. We plan to offer worldwide DNA analysis services supporting
the authentication of products and the detection, interdiction, deterrence and
prosecution of counterfeiters and related crimes, through our subcontractors,
sub-licensees and security industry collaborative partners.
International Sub-License Operations
Developing Technology - We have an in-depth understanding of DNA microchip
design and applications. We will jointly develop DNA-holograms and DNA-threads,
DNA-inks, DNA-dyes and DNA-security labels with leading original equipment
manufacturers in these specialist fields.
We will utilize our existing relationships and develop new ones to
introduce our anti-counterfeiting technology to generate business. Each industry
has unique requirements and needs for their anti-counterfeit solutions, and we
believe our DNA technology will provide maximum security technologies. For
example, our smart packaging solutions with DNA security markers in ink, paper
and holograms has widespread application in packaging for pharmaceuticals,
cosmetics, automotive markets, passports, ID's and currency. Our proprietary
technology offers immediate and affordable detection and security for their
brands and products.
Strong Technology Alliances - Our technology can also provide advanced
security dimensions to:
o Electronics security: access and physical/plant security (biometric
security cards enhanced with DNA)
o Security Holograms (DNA enhanced)
o Security papers and printing
o Holograms (DNA holograms)
o Other security-related products and systems
Law Enforcement Expertise - The resources of our collaborative partners in
the security industry include former federal law enforcement, security, and
intelligence officers who provide the company with extensive contacts and
hands-on experience in:
o Intellectual property investigation
o Counter-intelligence
o Personal security services
o Anti-counterfeit technologies
o Secure communications and data management
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires us to
make estimates and judgments that affect our reported assets, liabilities,
revenues, and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.
We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various
other assumptions we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Future
events, however, may differ markedly from our current expectations and
assumptions. While there are a number of significant accounting policies
affecting our consolidated financial statements; we believe the following
critical accounting policies involve the most complex, difficult and subjective
estimates and judgments:
o stock-based compensation
o fair value of intangible assets
Stock-Based Compensation
In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148 - Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation - Transition and Disclosure. This statement amends SFAS No. 123 -
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, providing alternative methods of
voluntarily transitioning to the fair market value based method of accounting
15
for stock based employee compensation. FAS 148 also requires disclosure of the
method used to account for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of
the method in both the annual and interim financial statements. The provisions
of this statement related to transition methods are effective for fiscal years
ending after December 15, 2002, while provisions related to disclosure
requirements are effective in financial reports for interim periods beginning
after December 31, 2003.
We elected to continue to account for stock-based compensation plans using
the intrinsic value-based method of accounting prescribed by APB No. 25,
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and related interpretations. Under
the provisions of APB No. 25, compensation expense is measured at the grant date
for the difference between the fair value of the stock and the exercise price.
From its inception, the Company has incurred significant costs in
connection with the issuance of equity- based compensation, which is comprised
primarily of our common stock and warrants to acquire our common stock, to
non-employees. The Company anticipates continuing to incur such costs in order
to conserve its limited financial resources. The determination of the
volatility, expected term and other assumptions used to determine the fair value
of equity based compensation issued to non-employees under SFAS 123 involves
subjective judgment and the consideration of a variety of factors, including our
historical stock price, option exercise activity to date and the review of
assumptions used by comparable enterprises.
We account for equity based compensation, issued to non-employees in
exchange for goods or services , in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No.
123 and EITF No. 96-18, "Accounting for Equity Instruments That are Issued to
Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or
Services".
Fair Value of Intangible Assets
We have adopted SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, whereby
we periodically test our intangible assets for impairment. On an annual basis,
and when there is reason to suspect that their values have been diminished or
impaired, these assets are tested for impairment, and write-downs will be
included in results from operations.
On July 12, 2005, we acquired certain intellectual properties from Biowell
through an Asset Purchase Agreement in exchange for 36 million shares of our
restricted common stock having an aggregate fair value at the date of issuance
of $ 24.120 million. The value of the acquired intangible assets was $
9,430,900, with the balance of the purchase price, or $14,689,100, charged to
operations as a cost of the transaction.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In April 2003, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) No. 149, Amendment of Statement No. 133 on Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities. SFAS 149 amends SFAS No. 133 to provide clarification on the
financial accounting and reporting of derivative instruments and hedging
activities and requires that contracts with similar characteristics be accounted
for on a comparable basis. The provisions of SFAS 149 are effective for
contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003, and for hedging
relationships designated after June 30, 2003. The adoption of SFAS 149 did not
have a material impact on the Company's results of operations or financial
position.
In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial
Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity. SFAS 150
establishes standards on the classification and measurement of certain financial
instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. The provisions
of SFAS 150 are effective for financial instruments entered into or modified
after May 31, 2003 and to all other instruments that exist as of the beginning
of the first interim financial reporting period beginning after June 15, 2003.
The adoption of SFAS 150 did not have a material impact on the Company's results
of operations or financial position.
In December 2003, the FASB issued a revision of SFAS No. 132, "Employers'
Disclosures About Pensions And Other Postretirement Benefits." This
pronouncement, SFAS No. 132-R, expands employers' disclosures about pension
plans and other post-retirement benefits, but does not change the measurement or
recognition of such plans required by SFAS No. 87, No. 88, and No. 106. SFAS No.
132-R retains the existing disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 132, and requires
certain additional disclosures about defined benefit post-retirement plans.
Except as described in the following sentence, SFAS No. 132-R is effective for
foreign plans for fiscal years ending after June 15, 2004; after the effective
date, restatement for some of the new disclosures is required for earlier annual
periods. Some of the interim-period disclosures mandated by SFAS No. 132-R (such
as the components of net periodic benefit cost, and certain key assumptions) are
effective for foreign plans for quarters beginning after December 15, 2003;
other interim-period disclosures will not be required for the Company until the
first quarter of 2005. Since the Company does not have any defined benefit
post-retirement plans, the adoption of this pronouncement did not have any
impact on the Company's results of operations or financial condition.
In November 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
SFAS 151, Inventory Costs-- an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4. This
Statement amends the guidance in ARB No. 43, Chapter 4, "Inventory Pricing," to
clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight,
handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage). Paragraph 5 of ARB 43, Chapter
4, previously stated that ". . . under some circumstances, items such as idle
facility expense, excessive spoilage, double freight, and rehandling costs may
be so abnormal as to require treatment as current period charges. . . ." This
Statement requires that those items be recognized as current-period charges
regardless of whether they meet the criterion of "so abnormal." In addition,
this Statement requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to the
costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production
facilities. This Statement is effective for inventory costs incurred during
fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. Management does not believe the
adoption of this Statement will have any immediate material impact on the
Company.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No.152, "Accounting for Real Estate
Time-Sharing Transactions--an amendment of FASB Statements No. 66 and 67" ("SFAS
152") The amendments made by Statement 152 This Statement amends FASB Statement
No. 66, Accounting for Sales of Real Estate, to reference the financial
accounting and reporting guidance for real estate time-sharing transactions that
is provided in AICPA Statement of Position (SOP) 04-2, Accounting for Real
Estate Time-Sharing Transactions. This Statement also amends FASB Statement No.
17
67, Accounting for Costs and Initial Rental Operations of Real Estate Projects,
to state that the guidance for (a) incidental operations and (b) costs incurred
to sell real estate projects does not apply to real estate time-sharing
transactions. The accounting for those operations and costs is subject to the
guidance in SOP 04-2. This Statement is effective for financial statements for
fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005, with earlier application encouraged.
The Company does not anticipate that the implementation of this standard will
have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.
On December 16, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")
published Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (Revised 2004),
Share-Based Payment ("SFAS 123R"). SFAS 123R requires that compensation cost
related to share-based payment transactions be recognized in the financial
statements. Share-based payment transactions within the scope of SFAS 123R
include stock options, restricted stock plans, performance-based awards, stock
appreciation rights, and employee share purchase plans. The provisions of SFAS
123R are effective as of the first interim period that begins after June 15,
2005. Accordingly, the Company will implement the revised standard in the third
quarter of fiscal year 2005. Currently, the Company accounts for its share-based
payment transactions under the provisions of APB 25, which does not necessarily
require the recognition of compensation cost in the financial statements.
Management is assessing the implications of this revised standard, which may
materially impact the Company's results of operations in the third quarter of
fiscal year 2005 and thereafter.
On December 16, 2004, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 153, Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets, an amendment of APB Opinion
No. 29, Accounting for Non-monetary Transactions ("SFAS 153"). This statement
amends APB Opinion 29 to eliminate the exception for non-monetary exchanges of
similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges
of non-monetary assets that do not have commercial substance. Under SFAS 153, if
a non-monetary exchange of similar productive assets meets a
commercial-substance criterion and fair value is determinable, the transaction
must be accounted for at fair value resulting in recognition of any gain or
loss. SFAS 153 is effective for non-monetary transactions in fiscal periods that
begin after June 15, 2005. The Company does not anticipate that the
implementation of this standard will have a material impact on its financial
position, results of operations or cash flows.
Revenues
From our inception on September 16, 2002, we did not generate revenues from
operations. We believe we will generate additional revenues from operations in
the fiscal year as we transition from a development stage enterprise to an
active growth stage company, although no assurances can be given that we will
generate any additional revenues from operations.
Costs and Expenses
Selling, General and Administrative
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended
December 31, 2005 compared to December 31, 2004 decreased $8.676 million or 81%

$8.676 million decrease compared to the three months ended December 31, 2004,
was $9.807 million in lower expenses consisting of $9.292 million in fund
raising and consultant costs, $465,000 in royalties and $50,000 in travel costs.
Offsetting the decreases was $1.131 million in higher costs consisting of

18
Research and Development
Research and development expenses decreased $22,000 for the three months
ended December 31, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004 from $38,000 to
$16,000 primarily due to lower development and testing costs.
Research and development expenses increased $400,000 for the twelve months
ended September 30, 2005 compared to 2004 from $239,000 to $639,000 primarily
due to increased independent testing costs.
Depreciation and Amortization
In the three months ended December 31, 2005, depreciation and amortization
increased $338,000 for the period compared to the same period in 2004 from
$5,000 to $343,000. In the year ended September 30, 2005, the Company
capitalized $9.431 million related to an intellectual property asset
acquisition. As a result, the Company recorded amortization expense totaling
$336,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2005 compared to no intangible asset
amortization in the three months ended December 31, 2004. The Company estimates
a seven year useful life that commenced during the fourth fiscal quarter of
2005.
In the twelve months ended September 30, 2005, depreciation and
amortization increased $353,000 for the period compared to 2004 from $3,000 to
$356,000. In the quarter ended September 30, 2005, the Company capitalized
$9.431 million related to an intellectual property asset acquisition. As a
result, the Company recorded amortization expense totaling $336,000 for the
quarter ended September 30, 2005. The Company estimates a seven year useful life
that commenced during the fourth fiscal quarter of 2005.
Total Operating Expenses
In the three months ended December 31, 2005, total operating expenses
decreased to $2.438 million from $10.798 million, or a decrease of $8.360
million as a result of the combination of factors listed above.
In the twelve months ended September 30, 2005, total operating expenses
increased to $43.657 million from $17.583 million, or an increase of $26.074
million as a result of the combination of factors listed above.

million in beneficial conversion feature related to the sale of convertible debt
and attached warrants in the year ended December 31, 2005.
Interest expense, for the twelve months ended September 30, 2005 increased
to $8.958 million from $1.776 million in the same period of 2004, an increase of
$7.182 million due to $5.116 million due to increased beneficial conversion
feature related to the sale of convertible debt and attached warrants in the
fiscal year ended September 30, 2005. In 2005, the Company recorded beneficial
conversion feature for debt totaling $5.116 million and $3.720 million for
warrants. The Company charged $121,000 to interest expense related to other debt
during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005.
Other Income
Other income, for the three months ended December 31,2005, increased to
13,013 from $315 in the same period in 2004.
Other Income, for the twelve months ended September 30, 2005 increased to
$5,000 from $1,000 in the same period of 2004, due primarily to the $3,000 of
licensing fees received from Biowell during the quarter ended September 30,
2005.
Net Loss

of $52.610 million from a loss of $19.358 million in the prior period as a
result of the combination of factors described above.
19
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our liquidity needs originate from working capital requirements,
indebtedness payments and research and development expenditure funding.
Historically, we have financed our operations through the sale of equity and
convertible debt as well as borrowings from various credit sources.
In fiscal 2005, we completed two private placements of convertible debt and
associated warrants. In December, 2004 we issued and sold $1.465 million in
aggregate principal amount of promissory notes, convertible at $0.50 per share,
and associated warrants to purchase up to 2,930,000 shares of our common stock,
exercisable at $0.75 per share for three years from their date of issuance, to
13 investors (the "December 2004 Placement"). Each promissory note was
automatically convertible into shares of our common stock at a price of $0.50
per share upon the closing of a subsequent private placement by us for at least
$1 million. In January and February of 2005, we issued and sold $7.371 million
in aggregate principal amount of 10% Secured Convertible Promissory Notes,
convertible at $0.50 per share, and associated warrants to purchase up to
15,242,000 shares of our common stock, exercisable at $0.75 per share until five
years from their date of issuance, to 61 investors (the "January and February
2005 Placement"). Upon the closing of the January and February 2005 Offering,
the notes issued in the December 2005 Placement automatically converted into an
aggregate of 2,930,000 shares of our common stock, and upon the filing of this
registration statement on February 15, 2005, the notes issued in the January and
February 2005 Placement automatically converted into an aggregate of 14,742,000
shares of our common stock. Additional private placements in fiscal 2005 raised
$243,000. We also received proceeds of $60,000 from the exercise of a warrant to
purchase 100,000 shares of our common stock in fiscal 2005. The $9.135 million
in gross proceeds from these private placements were used to fund commissions,
fees and expenses associated with the placements, consultants and public
reporting costs, salaries and wages, royalties, research and development,
facility costs as well as general working capital needs. Since the conversion
price of the notes issued in the December 2005 Placement and the January and
February 2005 Placement was less than the market price of our common stock at
the time these notes were issued, we recognized a charge relating to the
beneficial conversion feature of these notes during the quarter in which they
are issued.
In the six month period ended March 31, 2006, we completed two additional
private placements of debt and associated warrants. In November, 2005, we issued
and sold a promissory note in principal amount of $550,000. We issued warrants
to purchase a total of 5,500,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price
of $0.50 per share to certain persons designated by International Allied Fund,
and paid $55,000 in cash to VC Arjent for its services as the placement agent
for this placement. All principal and accrued but unpaid interest under this
note was paid in full shortly after the closing of and from the proceeds of the
March 8, 2006 offering. On March 8, 2006, we issued and sold an aggregate of 30
units consisting of (i) a $50,000 principal amount secured convertible
promissory note bearing interest at 10% per annum and convertible at $0.50 per
share, and (ii) a warrant to purchase 100,000 shares of our common stock at an
exercise price of $0.50 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds of $1.5 million.
The units were sold pursuant to subscription agreements by and between each of
the purchasers and Applied DNA Operations Management, Inc., a Nevada corporation
and our wholly owned subsidiary (our "Subsidiary"). The $2.050 million in gross
proceeds from these offerings were held by our Subsidiary for our benefit and
used to fund commissions, fees and expenses associated with the placements, to
repay the outstanding promissory note described above plus accrued interest
thereunder, to fund financing fees, consultants and public reporting costs,
salaries and wages, research and development, facility costs as well as and
general working capital needs.
On March 24, 2006, we commenced an offering (the "Offshore Offering") of up
to 140 units, at a price of $50,000 per unit, for a maximum offering of $7
million for sale to "accredited investors" who are not "U.S. persons." The units
being sold as part of the Offshore Offering consist of (i) a $50,000 principal
amount secured convertible promissory note, and (ii) a warrant to purchase
100,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $0.50 per share.
Substantially all of the real property used in our business is leased under
operating lease agreements.
20
As of December 31, 2005, we had a working capital deficit of $3,976,382.
For the quarter ended December 31, 2005, we generated a net cash flow deficit
from operating activities of $413,000 consisting primarily of year to date
losses of $2.444 million. Non cash equity adjustments totaling a net $687,000
included $564,000 in expensed warrants issued in connection with the November,
2005 financing, $75,000 in net stock issued for consulting services, $258,000 in
penalty stock issued pursuant to the registration rights agreement from the
private placement in January and February, 2005, and $210,000 in cancelled
shares for services previously rendered. Finally, non cash depreciation and
amortization totaled $337,000 while net liabilities and other increased by
$1.0007 million. Cash used in investing activities totaled $3,000 primarily for
increased security deposits. Cash provided by financing activities for the
quarter ended December 31, 2005, resulted from the November $550,000 bridge
financing.
For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005, we generated a net cash flow
deficit from operating activities of $9.116 million consisting primarily of year
to date losses of $52.61 million. Non cash equity adjustments included $8.836
million for beneficial conversion amortization, $14.805 million in net stock
issued for consulting services, $14.689 million in stock issued for intellectual
property, $3.96 million in stock issued pursuant to the 2005 Incentive Stock
Plan, $777,000 in penalty stock issued pursuant to the registration rights
agreement from the private placement in January and February, 2005, $956,000 for
warrants issued to consultants and $1.078 million in cancelled shares for
services previously rendered. Finally, non cash depreciation and amortizations
totaled $350,000 and net liabilities and other expenses increased by $199,000.
Cash used in investing activities totaled $4,000, which was utilized for patent
expenses. Cash provided by financing activities for the year ended September 30,
2005 totaled $9.15 million consisting of $9.079 million in proceeds from
subscribed stock and 71,000 in exercised options proceeds.
We expect capital expenditures to total less than $500,000 during the 2006
fiscal year. Our primary investments will be in laboratory equipment to support
prototyping and our authentication services.
We expect our exploitation of potential revenue sources will be financed
primarily through the sale of securities and convertible debt, exercise of
outstanding warrants, issuance of notes payable and other debt or a combination
thereof, depending upon the transaction size, market conditions and other
factors.
While we have raised capital to meet our working capital and financing
needs in the past, additional financing is required within the next 12 months in
order to meet our current and projected cash flow deficits from operations and
development. We have sufficient funds to conduct our operations for several
months, but not for 12 months or longer. There can be no assurance that
financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all.
By adjusting our operations and development to the level of capitalization,
we believe we have sufficient capital resources to meet projected cash flow
deficits. However, if during that period or thereafter, we are not successful in
generating sufficient liquidity from operations or in raising sufficient capital
resources, on terms acceptable to us, this could have a material adverse effect
on our business, results of operations liquidity and financial condition.
Our registered independent certified public accountants have stated in
their report dated October 21, 2005, that we have incurred operating losses in
the last two years, and that we are dependent upon management's ability to
develop profitable operations. These factors among others may raise substantial
doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
In connection with the January and February 2005 Placement, we granted the
investors registration rights. Pursuant to the registration rights agreement, if
we did not file the registration statement by February 15, 2005, or if we did
not have the registration statement declared effective on or before June 15,
2005, we are obligated to pay liquidated damages in the amount of 3.5% per month
of the face amount of the notes, which equals $257,985, until the registration
statement is declared effective. At our option, these liquidated damages can be
paid in cash or restricted shares of our common stock. All of the liquidated
damages that we paid were paid in common stock, although any future payments of
liquidated damages may, at our option, be made in cash. If we decide to pay the
liquidated damages in cash, we would be required to use our limited working
capital and potentially raise additional funds. If we decide to pay the
liquidated damages in shares of common stock, the number of shares issued would
depend on our stock price at the time that payment is due. Based on the closing
market prices of $0.66, $0.58, $0.70, $0.49, $0.32 and $0.20 for our common
stock on July 15, 2005, August 15, 2005, September 15, 2005, October 17, 2005,
November 15, 2005 and December 15, 2005, respectively, we issued a total of
3,807,375 shares of common stock in liquidated damages from August, 2005 to
January, 2006. The issuance of shares upon payment of liquidated damages will
have the effect of further diluting the proportionate equity interest and voting
power of holders of our common stock, including investors in this offering.
Liquidated damages in the form of common stock were paid for the period from
June 15, 2005 to December 15, 2005. We believe that we have no enforceable
obligation to pay further liquidated damages since the shares we agreed to
register for resale are eligible for resale under Rule 144 of the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, and such continuing liquidated damages are grossly
inconsistent with actual damages to the purchasers of the notes and warrants.
However, we are seeking to confirm this position by obtaining the waiver and
release of the holders of these securities of further liquidated damages. If
these persons do not waive and release and successfully bring a claim against us
with respect to such liquidated damages, it could result in a significant
decrease in our liquidity or assets, which could result in the reduction or
termination of our business.
21
We presently do not have any available credit, bank financing or other
external sources of liquidity. Due to our brief history and historical operating
losses, our operations have not been a source of liquidity. We will need to
obtain additional capital in order to expand operations and become profitable.
We intend to pursue the building of a re-seller network outside the United
States, and if successful, the re-seller agreements may constitute a source of
liquidity and capital over time. In order to obtain capital, we may need to sell
additional shares of our common stock or borrow funds from private lenders.
There can be no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining additional
funding and execution of re-seller agreements outside the Unites States.
We will still need additional investments in order to continue operations
and to reach cash flow break even. Additional investments are being sought, but
we cannot guarantee that we will be able to obtain such investments. Financing
transactions may include the issuance of equity or debt securities, obtaining
credit facilities, or other financing mechanisms. However, the trading price of
our common stock, a downturn in the U.S. or global stock and debt markets, and
other reasons could make it more difficult to obtain financing through the
issuance of equity or debt securities. Even if we are able to raise the funds
required, it is possible that we could incur unexpected costs and expenses, fail
to collect significant amounts owed to us, or experience unexpected cash
requirements that would force us to seek alternative financing. Further, if we
issue additional equity or debt securities, stockholders may experience
additional dilution or the new equity securities may have rights, preferences or
privileges senior to those of existing holders of our common stock. If
additional financing is not available or is not available on acceptable terms,
we will have to curtail our operations.

BUSINESS
CORPORATE HISTORY
We are a Nevada corporation, which was initially formed under the laws of
the State of Florida as Datalink Systems, Inc. in 1983. We changed our name and
converted to a Nevada corporation in 1998, and in 1999, changed our name to
ProHealth Medical Technologies, Inc. In November of 2002, we changed our name
again to our current name, Applied DNA Sciences, Inc., in connection with a
reverse merger. As a result of the reverse merger, we changed our business to
that of our acquirer, which involves researching, developing and selling
security and anti-counterfeiting products that utilize plant DNA for
verification purposes. During this time, most of our efforts were focused on
research and development and the execution of an exclusive license, as described
further herein.
OVERVIEW
Every living organism has a unique genetic composition (DNA code or DNA
sequence) that determines the character and composition of its cells. Genetic
specificity is determined by the sequence of nucleotides in the organism's DNA.
Our technical platform involves isolation of botanical DNA that are fragmented
and then reconstituted to form unique "chimers" whose sequences are known only
to us. These chimers are stabilized for use for hundreds of years by a unique
encapsulation system that is compatible with a broad universe of chemistries.
This adaptability allows us to embed our unique DNA chimers in petroleum and
petroleum derivatives, inks, dyes, laminates, glues, threads, textiles and other
materials. Once embedded in a product, we offer proprietary methods to free the
unique chimers from encapsulation and embedment, whereupon the chimers are
detected by our complimentary primers using methods well established in
molecular biology. Detection of the chimeric sequence unique to a particular
item allows us to authenticate its origination
We provide a platform of proprietary, embedded DNA products that protect
consumers, corporations and governments from counterfeiting, fraud, piracy,
product diversion and unauthorized intrusion. Our technologies are protected by
a broad array of intellectual property. We offer a cost effective method to
detect, deter, interdict and prosecute counterfeiting enterprises.. This
technology can also be used to authenticate microchips and circuit boards that
contain them. The DNA AC (anti-counterfeit) biochip is a product in which DNA is
embedded into a microchip. When biochips are embedded into circuitry, the
biological data can be read electronically and the component can be
authenticated. The biochip acts like a gatekeeper to guard the access to the
device; only once an authorized user is verified, can the device be accessed.
Without authentication, the device will not operate.
Sectors of commerce that could benefit from our products include:
corporations, federal government agencies, information technology, security and
surveillance, entertainment media, the arts, cosmetics, pharmaceutical and
biometrics, as well as vertical retail markets. Our applications can also
enhance capabilities of product origination, identification verification, and
validation of the source of components for critical manufacturing, defense,
medical and other highly-integrity or secure products.
Our mission is to become the recognized standard in providing total
security solutions to protect consumers, corporate and intellectual property
from counterfeiting and fraud. We intend to deliver our products to a global
market by selling directly to manufacturers, and via strategic business
development agreements with recognized leaders in the security industry and
through collaborations with leading security consultancy companies.
We believe that we have a very seasoned and experienced management team.
Our combined executive team has extensive professional experience in the areas
of anti-counterfeiting technology, microchip development, printing, marketing,
IP development and exploitation, and cross-corporate-license development. Dr.
Hayward is a molecular biologist and has spent 20 years commercializing
biotechnologies and has successfully developed several companies. Dr. Sheu is
trained as a molecular biologist and has more than 10 years of experience in
developing and commercializing DNA related applications, including DNA security
and DNA vaccines. He has been a consultant for many well-known biotechnology
companies and he is the founder of Biowell Technology Inc. Dr. Liang is the
chief scientist involved in developing DNA security-related applications. He was
also a founding member of Biowell.
AGREEMENT WITH HOLOGRAMMAS S.A. DE C.V. (HOLOMEX)
On November 10, 2004, we entered into a joint product development and
marketing agreement with Holomex, pursuant to which we agreed to work together
to jointly develop products utilizing Holomex's holographic packaging and label
products and our DNA security products. All products developed will be jointly
owned by the companies. All costs, expenses and revenues will be divided between
the parties as established on a product-by-product basis. The agreement remains
in full force and effect until such time as patents for jointly developed
products and their extensions expire and/or as long as both parties continue to
produce and market the products, whichever is longer. Either party may terminate
the agreement upon 120 days written notice, during which time the
non-terminating party has the right to purchase from the terminating part all
rights to the products and intellectual property jointly owned.
23
COOPERATIVE RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT (CRADA) WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF
ENERGY
On September 2, 2004, we entered into a CRADA with Bechtel BWXT Idaho, LLC,
a national laboratory contractor with the United States Department of Energy
(the "DOE"). As allowed pursuant to the CRADA, we received notice from the DOE
that they have decided to terminate the CRADA, effective January 23, 2006. The
DOE laboratories have provided third party detection and authentication of items
which had been tagged with embedded DNA sequences by us.
SUB-LICENSING AGREEMENT
In July of 2003, we, Biowell and G. A. Corporate Finance Ltd. entered into
a Sub-License Agreement for the United Kingdom in exchange for $3 million. G. A.
Corporate Finance Ltd. paid $25,000 upon its execution of the Agreement, and the
remaining $2.975 million is subject to an interest bearing promissory note,
payable in twenty (20) consecutive quarterly installments of Principal and
Interest in the amount equal to the lower of $185,937.50 or 35% of gross
revenues for that quarter due on the final day of the quarter.
The minimum guarantees that G. A. Corporate Finance, LLC must meet each
year of the license agreement to retain the exclusive license for the
technologies are as follows:
Year Minimum Guarantee
1st year $50,000 gross purchase orders
2nd year $150,000 gross purchase orders
3rd year $300,000 gross purchase orders
4th year $360,000 gross purchase orders
5th year $432,000 gross purchase orders
Due to the lack of marketable products since execution of this agreement,
we suspended the payment under the note and the minimum guarantees owed to us.
We are currently in negotiations with this sub-licensee to either amend or
terminate this agreement.
As with our Exclusive License Agreement with Biowell, our UK Sub-Licensee
will have the opportunity to apply for new product licenses, which can remain
exclusive in its territory for the first eighteen months.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
On July 15, 2005, we closed upon the stock purchase agreement with Biowell
Technology Inc., a Taiwan corporation, that was executed on January 28, 2005.
Pursuant to the agreement, through our wholly-owned subsidiary, APDN (B.V.I.)
Inc., a British Virgin Islands company, we acquired all of the issued and
outstanding shares of Rixflex Holdings Limited, a British Virgin Islands
company. Pursuant to an asset purchase agreement, Biowell Technology, Inc.
transferred all of its intellectual property to Rixflex prior to our acquisition
of Rixflex. In exchange for all of the issued and outstanding shares of Rixflex,
we issued to the shareholders of Rixflex 36 million shares of our common stock.
The intellectual property governs the use of plant-derived, but
biosynthetically modified DNA sequences to identify original commercial and
consumer products, private and government documents, artwork and other items.
The intellectual property uses synthetically created DNA fragments that have
unique characteristics and one-of-a-kind sequences. Our proprietary DNA-embedded
biotechnology solutions protect these items from counterfeiting, fraud, piracy,
product diversion and unauthorized intrusions. Our technologies are applicable
to a large percentage of global trade.The technologies offer a cost effective
method to detect, deter, interdict and prosecute global counterfeiting
organizations. Our platform may be integrated with pre-existing alternative
anti-counterfeit technologies, such as inks, thread, labels, microchips, glues,
paints and holograms. The intellectual property defines methods that tag and
authenticate the DNA fragments to ensure that the product has not been tampered
with or counterfeited.
24
In connection with the closing with Biowell, we terminated the license
agreement that we had previously entered into with Biowell in October 2002,
under which we had the exclusive right to sell, market, and sub-license
Biowell's technology within the United States, the European Union, Canada,
Mexico, Colombia, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.
In connection with the closing with Biowell, we entered into a license
agreement with Biowell, whereby we granted Biowell an exclusive license to sell,
market, and sub-license our products in selected Asian countries. The exclusive
license for such selected territories is for an initial period of until December
31, 2010, and if Biowell meets its performance goals, the license agreement will
extend for an additional five year term. The license agreement gives Biowell the
initial rights to future anti-fraud biotechnologies we develop and also new
applications for the existing technology that may be developed for the
marketplace as long as the license agreement remains in effect. In the event
that Biowell shall sub-license the products within its territories, Biowell
shall pay us 50% of all fees, payments or consideration or any kind received in
connection with the grant of the sublicense. Biowell is required to pay a
royalty of 10% on all net sales made and is required to meet certain minimum
annual net sales in its various territories. The territories and minimum net
sales are as follows:

We have subsequently amended the license agreement to state that any
country that has been identified by the U.S. State Department as state sponsors
of terrorism or are subject to economic sanctions administered by the U.S.
Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control will not be a territory
under the license agreement until such time as that country has been removed
from such list of state sponsors of terrorism and are not subject to economic
sanctions by the U.S. Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control. As
Syria and Iran are currently recognized by the U.S. State Department as state
sponsors of terrorism and are subject to economic sanctions administered by the
U.S. Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control, the sections of the
license agreement concerning those countries shall be suspended until such time
as those countries have been removed from the list of the U.S. State Department
as state sponsors of terrorism and are no longer subject to economic sanctions
administered by the U.S. Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control.
On July 15, 2005, we entered into a consulting agreement with Timpix
International Limited for the consulting services of three former Biowell
employees, Drs. Jun-Jei Sheu, Ben Liang and Johnson Chen. The consulting
agreement is for the shorter of two years, or until all of the consultants have
obtained a visa to work in the United States and execute employment agreements
with us. Such consulting agreement shall automatically renew for one year
periods until terminated. Pursuant to the consulting agreement, we shall pay
$47,000 per month, which is apportioned at $20,000 per month for Mr. Sheu,
$15,000 per month for Mr. Liang and $12,000 per month for Mr. Chen. In the event
that either of Messrs. Sheu, Liang or Chen becomes employed by us, the monthly
consulting fee shall be reduced accordingly. We have negotiated an agreement in
principle to restructure the Consulting Agreement, whereby, fees owed to Timplex
from July 2005 through December 2005 will be waived, and salaries for each of
the three consultants will be reduced starting January 1, 2006.
In February 2006, we entered into an agreement with The Research Foundation
of the State University of New York acting on behalf of Stony Brook University
("The Research Foundation") to support a project entitled "A Chimeric Method and
System for DNA Encryption and Authentication." Pursuant to this agreement, The
Research Foundation made a grant of $79,005.77 to us to support the project,
which amount is payable over six months. Upon approval from The Research
Foundation, we will receive an additional grant of $80,000, payable over one
year. The general objective of this project is to further research of chimeric
DNA methodology.
On March 8, 2006, we issued and sold an aggregate of 30 units consisting of
(i) a $50,000 principal amount secured convertible promissory note bearing
interest at 10% per annum and convertible at $0.50 per share, and (ii) a warrant
to purchase 100,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per
share, for aggregate gross proceeds of $1.5 million. The units were sold
pursuant to subscription agreements by and between each of the purchasers and
Applied DNA Operations Management, Inc., a Nevada corporation and our wholly
owned subsidiary (our "Subsidiary"). The $2.050 million in gross proceeds from
these offerings were held by our Subsidiary for our benefit and used to fund
commissions, fees and expenses associated with the placements, to repay the
outstanding promissory note described above plus accrued interest thereunder, to
fund financing fees, consultants and public reporting costs, salaries and wages,
research and development, facility costs as well as and general working capital
needs.
On March 17, 2006, the Board of Directors voted to increase the size of the
Board of Directors to six members, and appointed James A. Hayward, our acting
Chief Executive Officer, Yacov Shamash and Sanford R. Simon as directors. The
Board of Directors then appointed James A. Hayward as the Chief Executive
Officer of the Company.
On March 22, 2006, Peter Brockelsby resigned his positions as a director
and our President and Lawrence Lee resigned his positions as a director and our
Chief Technology Strategist.
On March 24, 2006, we commenced an offering (the "Offshore Offering") of up
to 140 units, at a price of $50,000 per unit, for a maximum offering of $7
million for sale to "accredited investors" who are not "U.S. persons." The units
being sold as part of the Offshore Offering consist of (i) a $50,000 principal
amount secured convertible promissory note and (ii) a warrant to purchase
100,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $0.50 per share.
OUR PRODUCTS
With our acquired proprietary DNA technologies from Biowell, we will be
working to provide complete DNA anti-counterfeit and fraud prevention solutions.
We will offer comprehensive and price-competitive products and solutions. The
key characteristics of the DNA biotechnology are as follows:
26
Unique and Impossible to Replicate DNA Codes -- specially processed DNA
fragments, with unique characteristics and one-of-a-kind sequences, are used.
The embedded DNA concentration is extremely small (3-5 ppm) and cannot be
analyzed unless proprietary primers and reagents are used.
Easy to Customize -- We can tailor the DNA marker to meet the customer's
product marking requirements to mark a product, a specific country or factory of
origin and all associated Quality Assurance and shipping documents. The DNA
codes can be generated based on one or more DNA sources and one or more layers
of anti-counterfeit technologies.
Easy and Quick to Use -- With the advanced DNA testing kits and detection
devices, a fast read-out can be obtained for on-site verification. The
authentication process can be performed quickly. Quantitative, or Real-time PCR
methods can produce authentication in less than 15 minutes using portable
devices. We are working to condense this time course.
Low Cost and High Accuracy - Only a minimal amount of DNA is needed to
provide forensic accuracy and proof of authenticity. It is a cost effective and
secure method for the authentication and prevention of counterfeiting.
Our technologies enable integration with other technologies that permit
line-of-sight instant verification and forensic verification in inks, threads,
etc. We believe that these combined products will provide an effective and
timesaving deterrent against counterfeiters and smugglers.
Broad Applications -- DNA anti-counterfeiting technology can be applied to
almost any product on the market. The edible DNA ink is safe to consume and can
be used on tablets or capsules ensuring against counterfeiting pharmaceuticals.
DNA Markers
Our first products available for sales directly by us are
anti-counterfeiting products that have already been sold by Biowell to Asian
customers and have been tested in the marketplace prior to our acquisition of
Biowell. These products have included DNA-embedded teabag labels, liquor labels,
artwork, sports memorabilia and other DNA-ink-dependent products.
Our second product is a DNA-encrypted hologram. The product is embedded
together with additional security features and has been sold by Biowell for
application to over 600 million CD's and DVD's as an anti-counterfeiting
technology deployed by the Government of the People's Republic of China. As of
April 2006, this product has been established by the Government of China as the
new national standard for DNA-based encryption and authentication. We have been
working toward the development of a DNA-encrypted hologram with Holomex.
Our third anti-counterfeiting product is a DNA Marker, embedded in a
bonding agent for thread that can be used to authenticate textile products. The
DNA Marker can be applied to the finished garment, bag, purse, shoe or domestic
household product (linens, etc). As the DNA Marker can be applied to any fabric
from cotton to wool, this will help textile vendors and governments determine
the origin of thread, yarn and fabric through to the high-end garment and luxury
fashion accessory manufacturers who suffer lost sales and product diversion at
the hands of counterfeiters. DNA Marker protection will also help preserve jobs
at the legitimate textile and clothing manufacturers as well as ensuring that
the proper taxes are collected on textiles and garments from authorities. The
DNA Marker will remain effective into the 22nd century and will be detectable
throughout the different manufacturing stages without degrading. It can be
detected in a variety of manners from inspection under UV light to laboratory
forensic analysis that authenticates it to a certainty of 99.9999 percent. The
efficacy of the DNA Marker was tested and verified by US Federal Government
Laboratories in late 2005. We will continuously assess the anti-counterfeit
needs of markets, companies and governmental organizations and will develop
proprietary technologies, solutions and products for these opportunities
Inks
DNA anti-counterfeit ink has been developed as two major applications. The
first ink is Biowell's unique anti-counterfeit ink (covert ink), which can be
authenticated at a forensic-science level of certainty with detailed DNA
analysis performed in a laboratory or on site using PCR methods.
The second application is an enhanced version of the first, integrating
into the original anti-counterfeit ink an additional instant detection function
for on-site authentication (overt ink).
27
This instant verification process has been designed to allow sampling at
any point in the product supply chain. By swabbing a "Q-tip" embedded with a
fluid containing a special activation buffer across the authentic DNA ink
surface, a biochemical reaction occurs between the coating of the DNA molecules
in the ink and the buffer fluid. This reaction manifests as a reversible color
change, with the ink changing color from blue to pink, and back to blue within
seconds. Testing can be repeated at various checkpoints throughout the product
supply chain. This ink can be embedded into special tamper-proof labels or
directly into packaging, lottery tickets, etc. to enable simple on-the-spot
verification. The DNA-labels represent a "first" in its ability to enable
consumers to validate a product before purchase, ingestion, etc. The
implications for the food, beverage, pharmaceutical and other industries are
significant.
DNA ink can be applied to:
o General Company Use: trade marks, patents, company logos, important
documents
o Financial industry: currency, stocks, checks, bills, bonds, checks
o Retail: event tickets, VIP tickets, clothing labels
o Medicines: capsule and pill surface printing
o Inner package: foil blister packs
o Outer package: boxes, bottles
o Fine Art and Collectibles: paintings, artifacts, antiques, stamps,
coins, documents, collectibles and memorabilia
o Others: lottery tickets, inspection stamps, custom seals, passports,
visas, etc.
Virtually any item that can be duplicated now can be protected with any of
these DNA ink applications. The applications are cost-effective and can be
adapted to any company's current branding, product tracking, or other
anti-counterfeiting program.
DNA Labels
DNA anti-counterfeit ink can be applied to paper or woven garment labels.
It can also be printed onto logos or on any other surface. Labels are printed
with the proprietary ink containing the specific authentication DNA code for a
manufacturer. The labels can then be easily tested for authenticity.
Knowledge that the labels are DNA-imprinted and can be quickly and easily
verified serves as a deterrent to counterfeiters. We believe this in itself will
create a demand for the proprietary DNA ink-impregnated label technology.
DNA Microchips
Computer and electronic signals constitute the basis for most corporate
security systems. These systems are of similar function and design, and are
susceptible to duplication, penetration and counterfeit. The polymorphism of DNA
is significantly more complex than electronic signals, and better suited for
security systems.
The DNA chip card is intended for both authentication of the card and
identification of an individual. For that purpose, a specific DNA (group ID) is
assigned to a set of DNA chip cards, along with an individual's identification
information, which is recorded in the chip's memory. A reader module is
configured to recognize (and therefore verify) only the chip carrying the
correct group ID. Any DNA chip card with different group ID, or indeed any other
chip card, will be rejected by the DNA chip card reader.
The DNA chip uses botanical DNA, which is artificially re-constructed. Each
user group has the same DNA code. Individuals are differentiated in the system
by identification codes stored in the chip's memory. In addition, the DNA chip
can be configured for the customer to have a particular person's own DNA as the
source DNA for that user group. The DNA chip generates unique signals and will
not function properly once removed from the casing. The empty chip is not
available anywhere else on the market, thus making it impossible to counterfeit.
Once the imbedded DNA chip is sabotaged or removed, it will cease functioning,
thus preventing data on the chip from being duplicated.
The signal of a DNA chip is generated through an interaction between DNA
and a specially devised mechanism known as a DNA chip reader. A real DNA chip
will generate an analog signal upon receiving a signal from a card reader and
send back an encoded signal to the reader after the chip is stimulated. An LCD
display screen provides immediate authentication by reading the unique DNA
signals embedded in the chip.
28
The DNA chip function is versatile, which allows it to be integrated into
the form of slot reader, slide through reader, or contact point reader for
instant authentication. Biowell has also developed a portable, lightweight,
hand-held scanner that can be used to authenticate the DNA chips. The cost of
the DNA chip, card, and reader system is comparable to existing smart card
systems. Above all, the reader can be linked externally with existing card
readers to save replacement costs.
The DNA encrypted microchip won the prize for Best New Technology for
Security Access at the Conference of the Security Industry Association held in
Washington DC in late 2004, in competition against some of the world's largest
corporations. Shortly thereafter, we were inducted into the InteGuard Alliance,
a consortium of 29 major companies providing security services and security
technology to the US Government. We believe that the DNA chip system is more
secure than all other systems; since it cannot be copied or hacked, and works
with specially configured readers.
The DNA biochip can be applied to many products. For example:
o Security ID cards
o Passports
o Licenses
o Credit and ATM cards
o Debit cards
o Consumer merchandise (CDs, VCDs, DVDs, notebook computers, PDAs,
handbags, etc.)
o Other applications where authentication is required (antiques,
paintings, security access, ignitions, etc.)
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
Key to our success is ongoing research and development. We have over 12
patents pending. While patents are an important asset, they are not the only
instruments used to sequester a competitive position for us. We are developing
numerous tools to maintain technical superiority, which includes licensing other
component and complementary technologies that will keep pace with our speed to
market efforts.
We regard our trade secrets and other intellectual property as an integral
component of our success. We rely on patent law, trademark law, trade secret
protection and confidentiality and/or license agreements with employees,
customers, partners and others to protect our intellectual property. Effective
patent, trademark and trade secret protection may not be available in every
country in which our products are available. We cannot be certain that we have
taken adequate steps to protect our intellectual property, especially in
countries where the laws may not protect our rights as fully as in the United
States. In addition, if our third-party confidentiality agreements are breached
there may not be an adequate remedy available to us. If our trade secrets become
publicly known, we may lose our competitive position.
Additionally, litigation regarding patents and other intellectual property
rights is extensive in the biotechnology industry. In the event of an
intellectual property dispute, we may be forced to litigate. This litigation
could involve proceedings instituted by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office or
the International Trade Commission, as well as proceedings brought directly by
affected third parties. Intellectual property litigation can be extremely
expensive, and these expenses, as well as the consequences should we not
prevail, could seriously harm our business.
If a third party claims an intellectual property right to technology we
use, we might need to discontinue an important product or product line, alter
our products and processes, pay license fees or cease our affected business
activities. Although we might under these circumstances attempt to obtain a
license to this intellectual property, we may not be able to do so on favorable
terms, or at all.

Customers
We do not currently have any revenue-generating customers at this point.
Our targeted client base includes major corporations, government entities and
educational institutions. We will provide DNA chip technology, DNA ink
technology as well as DNA profiling/tagging technology through various types of
resale agreements. We will apply these technologies to labels and security ink,
to a chip and reader as well as textile markers and agriculture profiling.
Competition
The anti-counterfeit and fraud prevention market is highly competitive and
diverse. Since we believe that other forms of anti-counterfeiting and security
measures can be easily defeated, we expect that utilizing DNA, which cannot be
replicated, will garner great demand from the market. Some examples of
biotechnology and other security technologies include:
FINGERPRINT- a systems scans fingerprints before granting access to
computer files.
VOICE- Off-the-shelf software authenticates users based on individual vocal
patterns.
CORNEA- Scanners that scan the iris of a user's eye to match compared to a
computer database.
FACIAL SCAN- Computers can use complex algorithms to distinguish one face
from another.
IC CHIP & MAGNETIC STRIP- Integrated circuit chip that runs an electric
current through a circuit and is verified by a IC card. This chip is used in
many parts of Europe and Asia.
HOLOGRAPH- Optical security elements (`holograms') constitute a family of
optically variable microstructures, which are difficult to copy. Most of them
are difficult to reproduce using advanced color photocopiers and printing
techniques. This is why they are so widely used as anti-counterfeit devices.
Holograms are only one member of a family of optically variable devices which
all have several features in common. These are:
o Highly visible to the naked eye under good or reasonable conditions of
illumination.
o Colorful and change their colors with viewing angle.
o They derive their colorful effects from microstructures within the
devices, which cause interference or diffraction of the light falling
upon them.
FLUORESCENCE- X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) and elemental taggant technologies
were developed as a unique method for assaying uranium ore. Later on was used as
a handheld alloy grade identification and spectral analysis instrument. Its use
is limited to label/printing applications.
RADIOACTIVITY& RARE MOLECULES- a method of Radiation detection is very
effective but limited to use on crude oil.
Some of the bigger competitors in the field of anti-counterfeiting and
fraud protection include:
o DNA Technologies, Inc.;
o Art Guard International;
o Theft Protection Systems;
o Cypher Science Mt. Sinai Hospital;
o ChemTAG;
o NTT DATA Labs; and
o November AG.
Employees
As of March 31, 2006, we employ 5 full-time employees, of which two are in
management and three are sales & marketing executives. We expect to add
approximately 4 scientists and technical staff in R&D and product development in
the first half of 2006.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
On July 15, 2005, the Company entered into a license agreement with
Biowell, whereby the Company granted Biowell an exclusive license to sell,
market, and sub-license the Company's products in selected Asian countries. The
exclusive license for such selected territories is for an initial period of
until December 31, 2010, and if Biowell meets its performance goals, the license
agreement will extend for an additional five year term. The license agreement
gives Biowell the initial rights to future anti-fraud biotechnologies developed
by the Company and also new applications for the existing technology that may be
developed for the marketplace as long as the license agreement remains in
effect. In the event that Biowell shall sub-license the products within its
territories, Biowell shall pay the Company 50% of all fees, payments or
consideration or any kind received in connection with the grant of the
sublicense. Biowell is required to pay a royalty of 10% on all net sales made
and is required to meet certain minimum annual net sales in its various
territories. Cumulative royalties earned from the period July 2005 through
December 31, 2005 totaled $17,404 with $14,274 occurring in the three months
ended December 31, 2005. The Company owes Biowell Technology, Inc., $15,000 for
unpaid previous research and development costs. Dr. Sheu, our Chairman of the
Board of Directors, is the CEO of Biowell Technology.
On July 15, 2005 as part of the acquisition of Biowell's intellectual
property, we entered into a consulting agreement with Timpix International
Limited for the consulting services of three employees, including Dr. Sheu, our
Chairman of the Board of Directors. The consulting agreement is for the shorter
of two years, or until all of the consultants have obtained a visa to work in
the United States and execute employment agreements with us. Such consulting
agreement shall automatically renew for one year periods until terminated.
Pursuant to the consulting agreement, the Company shall pay $47,000 per month,
which is apportioned at $20,000 per month for Mr. Sheu, $15,000 per month for
Mr. Liang and $12,000 per month for Mr. Chen. Messrs. Sheu, Liang or Chen
anticipate becoming employees at a later date in 2006.
On October 18, 2005, Maureen Huppe, a shareholder, obtained a judgment in
United States District Court, Los Angeles, California, against Mr. Lee, one of
our directors, for short swing profits as a result of trading shares of our
stock. Per the judgment, Mr. Lee is obligated to reimburse us $245,911 in
damages plus legal fees. In addition, we owe Mr. Lee $35,162 in outstanding
accrued liabilities. In offsetting the outstanding liability against the pending
reimbursement, we anticipate proceeds of approximately $211,000 from Mr. Lee.
In February 2006, we entered into an agreement with The Research Foundation
of the State University of New York acting on behalf of Stony Brook University
("The Research Foundation") to support a project entitled "A Chimeric Method and
System for DNA Encryption and Authentication." Pursuant to this agreement, The
Research Foundation made a grant of $79,005.77 to us to support the project,
which amount is payable over six months. Upon approval from The Research
Foundation, we will receive an additional grant of $80,000, payable over one
year. The general objective of this project is to further research of chimeric
DNA methodology. Dr. Sanford R. Simon, Professor of Biochemistry, Cell Biology,
and Pathology at Stony Brook University and one of our directors, will lead this
project on behalf of Stony Brook University together with Dr. Benjamin Liang,
our Strategic Technology Development Officer.
In November, 2005, we issued and sold a promissory note in principal amount
of $550,000 to Allied International Fund, Inc. The terms of this promissory note
provided that we issue upon the funding of the note, and we did issue at such
time nine warrants to purchase a total of up to 5,500,000 shares of our common
stock, exercisable at a price of $0.50 per share until five years from their
date of issuance to certain persons designated by Allied International Fund.
James A. Hayward, one of our directors and chief executive officer, received one
of these warrants to purchase 1,100,000 shares of our common stock.
On each of March 29 and April 13, 2006, we borrowed $100,000 from James A.
Hayward, our director and chief executive officer, at a rate of 7.5% per annum,
which loans are due and payable upon the earlier of the closing of the Offshore
Offering and three years from the date of each borrowing, respectively.
We also paid $55,000 in cash to VC Arjent for its services as the placement
agent for this placement. All principal and accrued but unpaid interest under
this promissory note was paid in full shortly after the closing of and from the
proceeds of the March 8, 2006 offering.
We have no policy regarding entering into transactions with affiliated
parties.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
Our current authorized capital stock consists of 260,000,000 shares of
common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of which 118,582,385 shares were
issued and outstanding as of March 31, 2006, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred
stock, par value $0.0001 per share, none of which were issued and outstanding as
of March 31, 2006.
COMMON STOCK
The holders of common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of
record on all matters to be voted on by the stockholders. The holders of common
stock are entitled to receive dividends ratably when, as and if declared by the
board of directors out of funds legally available therefore. In the event of our
liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the holders of common stock are entitled
to share equally and ratably in all assets remaining available for distribution
after payment of liabilities and after provision is made for each class of
stock, if any, having preference over the common stock. Holders of common stock
have no preemptive, subscription, redemption or conversion rights. The
outstanding shares of common stock are validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable.
We have engaged American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, located in
Brooklyn, New York, as independent transfer agent or registrar.
PREFERRED STOCK
Under our Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, the Board of
Directors is authorized, subject to any limitations prescribed by the laws of
the State of Nevada, but without any further action by our stockholders, to
provide for the issuance of up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or
more series, to establish from time to time the number of shares to be included
in such series, to fix the designations, powers, preferences and rights of the
shares of each such series and any qualifications, limitations or restrictions
thereof, and to increase or decrease the number of shares of any such series
(but not below the number of shares of such series then outstanding) without any
further vote or action by the stockholders. The board of directors may authorize
and issue preferred stock with voting or conversion rights that could adversely
affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of common stock.
To date, the Board has designated a Founders' Series of Convertible
Preferred Stock, which, in six months from the date of issuance, shall be
convertible at the option of the holder and upon our reaching certain financial
objectives, into shares of our restricted Common Stock. Each share, when
eligible, is convertible into 25 fully paid and non-assessable shares of our
Common Stock, subject to a leak out agreement that extends the Rule 144 period
to two years. Holders will be permitted to sell, after a one year holding period
through a three year holding period, 1% of the issued and outstanding shares of
our common stock every 90 days. This series has been authorized by the Board of
Directors. On or about February 1, 2005, the Founders' Series of Preferred Stock
was converted into 1,500,000 shares of our common stock. As of March 31, 2006,
there were no shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding.
OPTIONS
There are currently options outstanding that have been issued to our
officers, directors and employees to purchase 296,000 shares of our common stock
pursuant to our 2002 Professional/Employee/Consultant Compensation Plan and
4,260,000 shares of our common stock pursuant to our 2005 Incentive Stock Plan.
WARRANTS
In connection with the a private placement of promissory notes in December
2004, we issued warrants to purchase a total up to 4,260,000 shares of common
stock. The warrants are exercisable until three years from the date of issuance
at a purchase price of $0.75 per share.
In connection with a private placement of convertible promissory notes in
January and February of 2005, we issued warrants to purchase a total up to
14,742,000 shares of our common stock. The warrants are exercisable until five
years from the date of issuance at a purchase price of $0.75 per share.
In connection with a private placement of a promissory note in November,
2005, we have issued warrants to purchase a total of up to 5,500,000 shares of
our common stock exercisable at an exercise price of $0.50 per share at any time
until five years from their date of issuance to certain persons designated by
the noteholder. Each of these warrants provide for customary adjustments to the
exercise price of and shares subject to the warrant, including upon a
subdivision or combination of our common stock, but no such adjustment will be
made to either the exercise price or the number of shares subject to these
warrants in the event that we effect a reverse-split, or combination, of our
common stock within three years from their date of issuance.
In connection with a private placement of secured convertible notes that
was completed on March 8, 2006, we have issued warrants to purchase a total of
up to 3,000,000 shares of our common stock. The warrants are exercisable until
five years from the date of issuance at a purchase price of $0.50 per share.
38
We are currently offering warrants to purchase a total of up to
14,000,000 shares of our common stock, exercisable five years from the date of
issuance at a purchase price of $0.50 per share in the Offshore Offering
described in "Description of Securities - Convertible Securities".
We also have outstanding (i) warrants to purchase 105,464 shares of common
stock at $0.10 per share, (ii) warrants to purchase 5,000 shares of common stock
at $0.20 per share, (iii) warrants to purchase 1,150,000 shares of common stock

$3.00 per share.
CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES
We sold $1.465 million in convertible promissory notes to 13 investors in
December 2004. Each promissory note was automatically convertible into shares of
our common stock, at a price of $0.50 per share, upon the closing of a private
placement for $1 million or more. On January 28, 2005, we closed upon a private
placement transaction in excess of $1 million, and on February 2, 2005, the
promissory notes were converted into an aggregate of 2,930,000 shares of common
stock. This prospectus includes the resale of the common stock issued upon
conversion of the promissory notes.
We conducted a private placement in January and February 2005 in which we
sold $7.371 million of secured convertible promissory notes bearing interest at
10% per annum to 61 investors. The secured convertible promissory notes
automatically convert into shares of our common stock, at a price of $0.50 per
share, upon the filing of this registration statement. This prospectus includes
the resale of the common stock to be issued upon conversion of the secured
convertible promissory notes bearing interest at 10% per annum.
We completed a private placement on March 8, 2006, in which we sold an
aggregate of 30 units of our securities, (i) a $50,000 principal amount secured
convertible promissory note bearing interest at 10% per annum, and (ii) a
warrant to purchase 100,000 shares of our common stock, for aggregate gross
proceeds of $1.5 million. The notes and interest accrued thereon are convertible
into shares of our common stock at a price of $0.50 per share by the holder
anytime from issuance through the first anniversary of issuance of the notes and
automatically convert on the maturity date at a 20% discount to the average bid
price for our common stock for the ten trading days prior to conversion.
In March, 2006 we commenced an offering ("Offshore Offering") of up to 140
units, at a price of $50,000 per unit, for a maximum offering of $7 million for
sale to "accredited investors" who are not "U.S. persons." These units consist
of (i) a $50,000 principal amount secured convertible promissory note, and (ii)
a warrant to purchase 100,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $0.50 per
share. The notes and accrued but unpaid interest thereon are convertible into
shares of our common stock at a price of $0.50 per share by the holder of the
notes at any time from their date of issuance through the first anniversary of
such date and shall automatically convert on such anniversary at a 20% discount
to the average of the closing bid prices of our common stock on trading days
during the 12 months prior to such conversion.
REGISTRATION RIGHTS
In June 2005, we issued Trilogy Capital Partners, Inc. warrants to purchase
7,500,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $0.55 per share. In
connection with the issuance of those warrants we also agreed to file a
registration statement with the SEC with respect to the shares underlying such
warrants no later than the earlier to occur of: (i) 15 days following the
effectiveness of this Registration Statement, or (ii) September 15, 2005. As of
the date hereof we have not filed a registration statement with respect to the
shares of our common stock underlying the warrants we issued to Trilogy.
39
In November, 2005, we issued and sold a promissory note in principal amount
of $550,000 to Allied International Fund, Inc. The terms of this promissory note
provided that we issue upon the funding of the note, and we did issue at such
time warrants to purchase a total of 5,500,000 shares of our common stock,
exercisable at a price of $0.50 per share until five years from their date of
issuance to certain persons designated by Allied International Fund. Each such
warrant provides its holder the broadest possible unlimited piggyback
registration rights with respect to any registration statement filed by the
Company.
In connection with the private placement in January and February 2005, we
granted the investors registration rights. Pursuant to the registration rights
agreement, if we did not file the registration statement by February 15, 2005,
or if we did not have the registration statement declared effective on or before
July 15, 2005, we are obligated to pay liquidated damages in the amount of 3.5%
per month of the face amount of the notes, which equals $257,985, until the
registration statement is declared effective. At our option, these liquidated
damages can be paid in cash or restricted shares of our common stock. All of the
liquidated damages that we paid were paid in common stock, although any future
payments of liquidated damages may, at our option, be made in cash. If we decide
to pay the liquidated damages in cash, we would be required to use our limited
working capital and potentially raise additional funds. If we decide to pay the
liquidated damages in shares of common stock, the number of shares issued would
depend on our stock price at the time that payment is due. Based on the closing
market prices of $0.66, $0.58, $0.70, $0.49, $0.32 and $0.20 for our common
stock on July 15, 2005, August 15, 2005, September 15, 2005, October 17, 2005,
November 15, 2005 and December 15, 2005, respectively, we issued a total of
3,807,375 shares of common stock in liquidated damages from August, 2005 to
January, 2006. The issuance of shares upon payment of liquidated damages will
have the effect of further diluting the proportionate equity interest and voting
power of holders of our common stock, including investors in this offering.
Liquidated damages in the form of common stock were paid for the period
from June 15, 2005 to December 15, 2005. We believe that we have no enforceable
obligation to pay further liquidated damages since the shares we agreed to
register for resale are eligible for resale under Rule 144 of the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, and such continuing liquidated damages are grossly
inconsistent with actual damages to the purchasers of the notes and warrants.
However, we are seeking to confirm this position by obtaining the waiver and
release of the holders of these securities of further liquidated damages. If
these persons do not waive and release and successfully bring a claim against us
with respect to such liquidated damages, it could result in a significant
decrease in our liquidity or assets, which could result in the reduction or
termination of our business.
In connection with the private placement that we completed on March 8,
2006, we have agreed to file a registration statement to effect the registration
of 100% of our shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes and
exercise of the warrants within 30 days of the registration statement of which
this prospectus is a part being declared effective by the SEC. We have agreed to
use our reasonable best efforts to cause the registration statement to be
declared effective no later than 180 days after the filing date. If we fail to
file a registration statement with the SEC on or before the time frame
described, the holders will be entitled to liquidated damages from Applied DNA
Operations Management, Inc. in an amount equal to 2% per month for each month
that we are delinquent in filing the registration statement.
As part of the Offshore Offering we have offered to enter into a
registration rights agreement with purchasers of notes and warrants in that
offering that would provide that we will prepare and file a registration
statement with the SEC covering the common stock underlying the notes and the
warrants sold in the Offshore Offering within 30 days of the registration
statement of which this prospectus is a part being declared effective by the
SEC, and use our reasonable best efforts to have the registration statement
declared effective by the SEC by no later than 180 days after filing. These
obligations to file and have the registration statement declared effective would
terminate as to any holder of the units upon the earlier of the date: (a) when
all of such holder's common stock underlying the notes and the warrants may be
sold during a single three month period under Rule 144 of the Securities Act of
1933, as amended; and (b) when all of such holder's common stock underlying the
notes and the warrants may be transferred under Rule 144(k) of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, unless such holder later becomes our affiliate (as
defined in Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) in which case our
obligation shall be revived until such holder's rights otherwise terminate under
clause (a) above.
40
INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES
Our Articles of Incorporation, as amended, provide to the fullest extent
permitted by Nevada law, our directors or officers shall not be personally
liable to us or our shareholders for damages for breach of such director's or
officer's fiduciary duty. The effect of this provision of our Articles of
Incorporation, as amended, is to eliminate our rights and our shareholders
(through shareholders' derivative suits on behalf of our company) to recover
damages against a director or officer for breach of the fiduciary duty of care
as a director or officer (including breaches resulting from negligent or grossly
negligent behavior), except under certain situations defined by statute. We
believe that the indemnification provisions in our Articles of Incorporation, as
amended, are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and
officers. In addition, we have entered into indemnification agreements with our
officers and directors.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the "Act" or "Securities Act"), may be permitted to
directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing
provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
41
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The selling stockholders and any of their respective pledgees, donees,
assignees and other successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or
all of their shares of common stock on any 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. The selling stockholders may use any one
or more of the following methods when selling shares:
o ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the
broker-dealer solicits the purchaser;
o 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;
o purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the
broker-dealer for its account;
o an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the
applicable exchange; o privately-negotiated transactions;
o short sales that are not violations of the laws and regulations of any
state or the United States;
o broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholders to sell a
specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;
o through the writing of options on the shares;
o a combination of any such methods of sale; and
o any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.
The selling stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the
Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus. The selling
stockholders shall have the sole and absolute discretion not to accept any
purchase offer or make any sale of shares if they deem the purchase price to be
unsatisfactory at any particular time.
The selling stockholders may also engage in short sales against the box,
puts and calls and other transactions in our securities or derivatives of our
securities and may sell or deliver shares in connection with these trades.
The selling stockholders or their respective pledgees, donees, transferees
or other successors in interest, may also sell the shares directly to market
makers acting as principals and/or broker-dealers acting as agents for
themselves or their customers. Such broker-dealers may receive compensation in
the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholders
and/or the purchasers of shares for whom such broker-dealers may act as agents
or to whom they sell as principal or both, which compensation as to a particular
broker-dealer might be in excess of customary commissions. Market makers and
42
block purchasers purchasing the shares will do so for their own account and at
their own risk. It is possible that a selling stockholder will attempt to sell
shares of common stock in block transactions to market makers or other
purchasers at a price per share which may be below the then market price. The
selling stockholders cannot assure that all or any of the shares offered in this
prospectus will be issued to, or sold by, the selling stockholders. VC Arjent, a
registered broker-dealer; Michael Morris, Susan Diamond; Ronald Heineman and
Michael Gochman; all of whom are employees of VC Arjent and Jesse Shelmire IV
and Scott Griffith, affiliates of Stonegate Securities, a registered
broker-dealer, are an "underwriter" as that term is defined under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1933, as amended, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, and the rules and regulations of such acts. Further, the other selling
stockholders and any brokers, dealers or agents, upon effecting the sale of any
of the shares offered in this prospectus, may be deemed to be "underwriters." 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.
We are required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration
of the shares, including fees and disbursements of counsel to the selling
stockholders, but excluding brokerage commissions or underwriter discounts.
The selling stockholders, alternatively, may sell all or any part of the
shares offered in this prospectus through an underwriter. No selling stockholder
has entered into any agreement with a prospective underwriter and there is no
assurance that any such agreement will be entered into.
The selling stockholders may pledge their shares to their brokers under the
margin provisions of customer agreements. If a selling stockholder defaults on a
margin loan, the broker may, from time to time, offer and sell the pledged
shares. The selling stockholders and any other persons participating in the sale
or distribution of the shares will be subject to applicable provisions of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations under
such act, including, without limitation, Regulation M. These provisions may
restrict certain activities of, and limit the timing of purchases and sales of
any of the shares by, the selling stockholders or any other such person. In the
event that the selling stockholders are deemed affiliated purchasers or
distribution participants within the meaning of Regulation M, then the selling
stockholders will not be permitted to engage in short sales of common stock.
Furthermore, under Regulation M, persons engaged in a distribution of securities
are prohibited from simultaneously engaging in market making and certain other
activities with respect to such securities for a specified period of time prior
to the commencement of such distributions, subject to specified exceptions or
exemptions. In regards to short sells, the selling stockholder can only cover
its short position with the securities they receive from us upon conversion. In
addition, if such short sale is deemed to be a stabilizing activity, then the
selling stockholder will not be permitted to engage in a short sale of our
common stock. All of these limitations may affect the marketability of the
shares.
We have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders, or their transferees
or assignees, against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or to contribute to payments the selling
stockholders or their respective pledgees, donees, transferees or other
successors in interest, may be required to make in respect of such liabilities.
If the selling stockholders notify us that they have a material arrangement
with a broker-dealer for the resale of the common stock, then we would be
required to amend the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part,
and file a prospectus supplement to describe the agreements between the selling
stockholders and the broker-dealer.
43
PENNY STOCK
The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which
establishes the definition of a "penny stock," for the purposes relevant to us,
as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or
with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain
exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the
rules require:
o that a broker or dealer approve a person's account for transactions in
penny stocks; and
o the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to
the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny
stock to be purchased.
In order to approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks,
the broker or dealer must
o obtain financial information and investment experience objectives of
the person; and
o make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks
are suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge
and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the
risks of transactions in penny stocks.
The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny
stock, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the Commission relating to the penny
stock market, which, in highlight form:
o sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the
suitability determination; and
o that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from
the investor prior to the transaction.
Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks
in both public offerings and in secondary trading and about the commissions
payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current
quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an
investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly
statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny
stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.
44
SELLING STOCKHOLDERS
The table below sets forth information concerning the resale of the
shares of common stock by the selling stockholder. We will not receive any
proceeds from the resale of the common stock by the selling stockholder. We will
receive proceeds from the exercise of the warrants. Assuming all the shares
registered below are sold by the selling stockholder, none of the selling
stockholder will continue to own any shares of our common stock.
The following table also sets forth the name of each person who is
offering the resale of shares of common stock by this prospectus, the number of
shares of common stock beneficially owned by each person, the number of shares
of common stock that may be sold in this offering and the number of shares of
common stock each person will own after the offering, assuming they sell all of
the shares offered.

(UNAUDITED)
NOTE A - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
General
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-QSB, and therefore, do
not include all the information necessary for a fair presentation of financial
position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
Operating results for the three month period ended December 31, 2005 is not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended
September 30, 2006. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
should be read in conjunction with September 30, 2005 financial statements.
Business and Basis of Presentation
On September 16, 2002, Applied DNA Sciences, Inc. (the "Company") was
incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada. The Company is in the
development stage, as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
7 ("SFAS No. 7") and its efforts have been principally devoted to developing DNA
embedded biotechnology security solutions in the United States. To date, the
Company has generated nominal sales revenues, has incurred expenses and has
sustained losses. Consequently, its operations are subject to all the risks
inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise. For the period from
inception through December 31, 2005, the Company has accumulated losses of
$77,869,903.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, and
its wholly-owned subsidiary ProHealth Medical Technologies, Inc. Significant
inter-company transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Reclassification
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified for comparative purposes.
Stock Based Compensation
In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation-Transition and Disclosure-an amendment of SFAS 123." This statement
amends SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," to provide
alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based
method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, this
statement amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 to require
prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the
method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the
method used on reported results. The Company has chosen to continue to account
for stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value method prescribed in APB
Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations. Accordingly, compensation expense
for stock options is measured as the excess, if any, of the fair market value of
the Company's stock at the date of the grant over the exercise price of the
related option. The Company has adopted the annual disclosure provisions of SFAS
No. 148 in its financial reports for the year ended September 30, 2003 and for
the subsequent periods.

DECEMBER 31, 2005
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE A - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
On December 16, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
FASB Statement No. 123R (revised 2004), "Share-Based Payment" which is a
revision of FASB Statement No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation".
Statement 123R supersedes APB opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees", and amends FASB Statement No. 95, "Statement of Cash Flows".
Generally, the approach in Statement 123R is similar to the approach described
in Statement 123. However, Statement 123R requires all share-based payments to
employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the
income statement based on their fair values. Pro-forma disclosure is no longer
an alternative. On April 14, 2005, the SEC amended the effective date of the
provisions of this statement. The effect of this amendment by the SEC is that
the Company will have to comply with Statement 123R and use the Fair Value based
method of accounting no later than the first quarter of 2006. Management has not
determined the impact that this statement will have on Company's consolidated
financial statements.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2005, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation (FIN) No. 47, "Accounting for
Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations, an interpretation of FASB Statement
No. 143," which requires an entity to recognize a liability for the fair value
of a conditional asset retirement obligation when incurred if the liability's
fair value can be reasonably estimated. The Company is required to adopt the
provisions of FIN 47 no later than the first quarter of fiscal 2006. The Company
does not expect the adoption of this Interpretation to have a material impact on
its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
SFAS 123R. On March 31, 2004 the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")
issued its exposure draft, "Share-Based Payments", which is a proposed amendment
to SFAS 123. The exposure draft would require all share-based payments to
employees, including grants of employee stock options and purchases under
employee stock purchase plans, to be recognized in the statement of operations
based on their fair value. The FASB issued the final standard in December 2004
that is effective for small business issuers for annual periods beginning after
December 15, 2005. The Company has not yet assessed the impact of adopting this
new standard.
SFAS 151. In November 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
issued SFAS 151, Inventory Costs-- an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4. This
Statement amends the guidance in ARB No. 43, Chapter 4, "Inventory Pricing," to
clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight,
handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage). Paragraph 5 of ARB 43, Chapter
4, previously stated that ". . . under some circumstances, items such as idle
facility expense, excessive spoilage, double freight, and rehandling costs may
be so abnormal as to require treatment as current period charges. . . ." This
Statement requires that those items be recognized as current-period charges
regardless of whether they meet the criterion of "so abnormal." In addition,
this Statement requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to the
costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production
facilities. This Statement is effective for inventory costs incurred during
fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company does not anticipate that

the implementation of this standard will have a material impact on its financial
position, results of operations or cash flows.
SFAS 152. In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No.152, "Accounting for Real
Estate Time-Sharing Transactions--an amendment of FASB Statements No. 66 and 67"
("SFAS 152) The amendments made by Statement 152 This Statement amends FASB
Statement No. 66, Accounting for Sales of Real Estate, to reference the
financial accounting and reporting guidance for real estate time-sharing
transactions that is provided in AICPA Statement of Position (SOP) 04-2,
Accounting for Real Estate Time-Sharing Transactions. This Statement also amends
FASB Statement No. 67, Accounting for Costs and Initial Rental Operations of
Real Estate Projects, to state that the guidance for (a) incidental operations
and (b) costs incurred to sell real estate projects does not apply to real
estate time-sharing transactions. The accounting for those operations and costs
is subject to the guidance in SOP 04-2. This Statement is effective for
financial statements for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. with
earlier application encouraged. The Company does not anticipate that the
implementation of this standard will have a material impact on its financial
position, results of operations or cash flows.
SFAS 153. On December 16, 2004, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 153, Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets, an amendment of APB Opinion
No. 29, Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions (" SFAS 153"). This statement
amends APB Opinion 29 to eliminate the exception for nonmonetary exchanges of
similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges
of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. Under SFAS 153, if
a nonmonetary exchange of similar productive assets meets a commercial-substance
criterion and fair value is determinable, the transaction must be accounted for
at fair value resulting in recognition of any gain or loss. SFAS 153 is
effective for nonmonetary transactions in fiscal periods that begin after June
15, 2005. The Company does not anticipate that the implementation of this
standard will have a material impact on its financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.
In May 2005 the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS)
No. 154, "Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, a replacement of APB Opinion
No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3." SFAS 154 requires retrospective application to
prior periods' financial statements for changes in accounting principle, unless
it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the
cumulative effect of the change. SFAS 154 also requires that retrospective
application of a change in accounting principle be limited to the direct effects
of the change. Indirect effects of a change in accounting principle, such as a
change in non-discretionary profit-sharing payments resulting from an accounting
change, should be recognized in the period of the accounting change. SFAS 154
also requires that a change in depreciation, amortization, or depletion method
for long-lived, non-financial assets be accounted for as a change in accounting
estimate effected by a change in accounting principle. SFAS 154 is

effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2005. Early adoption is permitted for accounting
changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after the date
this Statement is issued. The Company does not expect the adoption of this SFAS
to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.
NOTE B - INTANGIBLE ASSET AMORTIZATION
The Company has adopted SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,
whereby the Company periodically test its intangible assets for impairment. On
an annual basis, and when there is reason to suspect that their values have been
diminished or impaired, these assets are tested for impairment, and write-downs
will be included in results from operations.
On July 12, 2005, the Company acquired certain intellectual properties from
Biowell Technology, Inc. ("Biowell") through an Asset Purchase Agreement
("Agreement") in exchange for 36 million shares of the Company's restricted
common stock having an aggregate fair value at the date of issuance of
$24,120,000. The value of the acquired intangible assets was $9,430,900, with
the balance of the purchase price, or $14,689,100, charged to operations as a
cost of the transaction.
The identifiable intangible assets acquired and their carrying value at December
31, 2005 are:

penalty share damages (see Note H). Upon the one year anniversary of the
investor proceeds receipt date, all penalty shares will terminate. No additional
penalty shares shall accrue subsequent to February 15, 2006.
Potential Liability Resulting From Issuance and Resale of Stock
During the months of July and August 2005, the Company issued a total of
8,250,000 shares (the Shares") of its common stock to nine employees and
consultants (See Note D). These shares were not registered under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended ("Securities Act"), or the securities laws of any state.
Further, the Shares were issued without a restrictive legend prohibiting their
resale except in compliance with the Securities Act. The Company believes that
certain of the Shares were subsequently sold on the open market but has been
unable to determine the magnitude of the sales. The Company is currently
investigating the circumstances surrounding the issuance of the Shares and the
possible subsequent resale of certain of the Shares on the open market and the
possibility of violations of securities laws.
NOTE H- SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In January 2006, Paul Reep, a former employee, filed a $230,000 employment
agreement claim against the Company. This action is in the early stages of
discovery and we intend to vigorously defend this matter. Management believes
the ultimate outcome of this matter will not have a material adverse effect on
the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.
Also in January 2006, James Paul Brown filed an action against Applied DNA
Sciences, Inc. in the Superior Court of Los Angeles, Los Angeles County,
California on January 12, 2006 asserting breach of an alleged oral consulting
agreement. The relief sought includes monetary damages and attorneys' fees. The
parties have reached a settelement in principle, which the Company expects to
execute shortly. Management is confident that the parties will resolve this
matter without issue.
In connection with the 7,371,000 million convertible debt financing in the
quarter ended March 30, 2005, the Company was obligated to complete a stock
registration by July 2005. Since the registration was not effective by July
2005, the Company anticipates paying required liquidated damages in shares of
Company stock accruing at the rate of 3.5% per month on the face value of the
Notes. For the period ended January 15, 2006 and February 15, 2006, the Company
anticipates accruing approximately $257,985 and $228,725, respectively, in
penalty share damages (see Note G). Upon the one year anniversary of the
investor proceeds receipt date, all penalty shares will terminate. No additional
penalty shares shall accrue subsequent to February 15, 2006.

(A Development Stage Company)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2005 AND 2004
NOTE A - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A summary of the significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of
the accompanying financial statements follows.
BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
On September 16, 2002, Applied DNA Sciences, Inc. (the "Company") was
incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada. The Company is in the
development stage , as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 7 ("SFAS No. 7") and its efforts have been principally devoted to developing
DNA embedded biotechnology security solutions in the United States. To date, the
Company has generated nominal sales revenues, has incurred expenses and has
sustained losses. Consequently, its operations are subject to all the risks
inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise. For the period from
inception through September 30, 2005, the Company has accumulated losses of
$75,425,414.
ESTIMATES
The preparation of the financial statement in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results
could differ from those estimates.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin
No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements" ("SAB 101"). SAB 101
requires that four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized
:(1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred;
(3) the selling price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectibility is
reasonably assured. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on
management's judgments regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the
products delivered and the collectibility of those amounts. Provisions for
discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other
adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded.
On December 17, 2003, the SEC staff released Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No.
104, Revenue Recognition. The staff updated and revised the existing revenue
recognition in Topic 13, Revenue Recognition, to make its interpretive guidance
consistent with current accounting guidance, principally EITF Issue No. 00-21,
"Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables." Also, SAB 104 incorporates
portions of the Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements - Frequently Asked
Questions and Answers document that the SEC staff considered relevant and
rescinds the remainder. The company's revenue recognition policies are
consistent with this guidance; therefore, this guidance will not have an
immediate impact on the company's consolidated financial statements.
CASH EQUIVALENTS
For the purpose of the accompanying financial statements, all highly liquid
investments with a maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash
equivalents.

(A Development Stage Company)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2005 AND 2004
NOTE A - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
INCOME TAXES
The Company has adopted Financial Accounting Standard No. 109 (SFAS 109) which
requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected
future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial
statement or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets
are determined based on the difference between financial statements and tax
basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year
in which the differences are expected to reverse. Temporary differences between
taxable income reported for financial reporting purposes and income tax purposes
are insignificant.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated over their estimated
useful lives of 3 to 5 years using the straight line method. At September 30,
2005 property and equipment consist of:
Furniture $ 12,750
Accumulated depreciation 4,686
------------
Net $ 8,064
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144
(SFAS 144). The Statement requires that long-lived assets and certain
identifiable intangibles held and used by the Company be reviewed for impairment
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of
an asset may not be recoverable. Events relating to recoverability may include
significant unfavorable changes in business conditions, recurring losses, or a
forecasted inability to achieve break-even operating results over an extended
period. The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets based upon
forecasted undercounted cash flows. Should an impairment in value be indicated,
the carrying value of intangible assets will be adjusted, based on estimates of
future discounted cash flows resulting from the use and ultimate disposition of
the asset. SFAS No. 144 also requires assets to be disposed of be reported at
the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value less costs to sell.
COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
The Company does not have any items of comprehensive income in any of the
periods presented.

SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131,
Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information ("SFAS
131"). SFAS establishes standards for reporting information regarding operating
segments in annual financial statements and requires selected information for
those segments to be presented in interim financial reports issued to
stockholders. SFAS 131 also establishes standards for related disclosures about
products and services and geographic areas. Operating segments are identified as
components of an enterprise about which separate discrete financial information
is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker, or decision
making group, in making decisions how to allocate resources and assess
performance. The information disclosed herein, materially represents all of the
financial information related to the Company's principal operating segment.
NET LOSS PER SHARE
The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 128,
"Earnings Per Share," specifying the computation, presentation and disclosure
requirements of earnings per share information. Basic earnings per share has
been calculated based upon the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding. Stock options and warrants have been excluded as common stock
equivalents in the diluted earnings per share because they are either
antidilutive, or their effect is not material. Fully diluted shares outstanding
were 112,230,392 and 23,981,054 for the years ended September 30, 2005 and 2004,
respectively.
STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation-Transition and Disclosure-an amendment of SFAS 123." This statement
amends SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," to provide
alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based
method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, this
statement amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 to require
prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the
method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the
method used on reported results. The Company has chosen to continue to account
for stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value method prescribed in APB
Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations. Accordingly, compensation expense
for stock options is measured as the excess, if any, of the fair market value of
the Company's stock at the date of the grant over the exercise price of the
related option. The Company has adopted the annual disclosure provisions of SFAS
No. 148 in its financial reports for the year ended September 30, 2005 and for
the subsequent periods.
Had compensation costs for the Company's stock options been determined based on
the fair value at the grant dates for the awards, the Company's net loss and
losses per share would have been as follows (transactions involving stock
options issued to employees and Black-Scholes model assumptions are presented in

Income Taxes
The Company has adopted Financial Accounting Standard No. 109 (SFAS 109)
which requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the
expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the
financial statement or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities
and assets are determined based on the difference between financial statements
and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for
the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Temporary differences
between taxable income reported for financial reporting purposes and income tax
purposes are insignificant.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated over their
estimated useful lives of 3 to 5 years using the straight line method. At

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
The Company accounts for research and development costs in accordance with the
Financial Accounting Standards Board's Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 2 ("SFAS 2"), "Accounting for Research and Development Costs.
Under SFAS 2, all research and development costs must be charged to expense as
incurred. Accordingly, internal research and development costs are expensed as
incurred. Third-party research and developments costs are expensed when the
contracted work has been performed or as milestone results have been achieved.
Company-sponsored research and development costs related to both present and
future products are expensed in the period incurred. The Company incurred
research and development expenses of $638,873, $238,535 and $877,408 for the
years ended September 30, 2005, September 30, 2004 and from September 16, 2002

Company capitalized $9,430,900 as an intangible asset and expensed $14,689,100
to acquisition costs in the year ended September 30, 2005
RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain reclassifications have been made in prior year's financial statements to
conform to classifications used in the current year.
INTANGIBLE ASSETS
The Company amortized its intangible assets using the straight-line method over
their estimated period of benefit. The estimated useful for patents is five
years while intellectual property uses a seven year useful life. We periodically
evaluate the recoverability of intangible assets and take into account events or
circumstances that warrant revised estimates of useful lives or that indicate
that an impairment exists. All of our intangible assets are subject to
amortization.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
SFAS 123R. On March 31, 2004 the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")
issued its exposure draft, "Share-Based Payments", which is a proposed amendment
to SFAS 123. The exposure draft would require all share-based payments to
employees, including grants of employee stock options and purchases under
employee stock purchase plans, to be recognized in the statement of operations
based on their fair value. The FASB issued the final standard in December 2004
that is effective for small business issuers for annual periods beginning after
December 15, 2005. The Company has not yet assessed the impact of adopting this
new standard.

SFAS 151. In November 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
issued SFAS 151, Inventory Costs-- an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4. This
Statement amends the guidance in ARB No. 43, Chapter 4, "Inventory Pricing," to
clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight,
handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage). Paragraph 5 of ARB 43, Chapter
4, previously stated that ". . . under some circumstances, items such as idle
facility expense, excessive spoilage, double freight, and rehandling costs may
be so abnormal as to require treatment as current period charges. . . ." This
Statement requires that those items be recognized as current-period charges
regardless of whether they meet the criterion of "so abnormal." In addition,
this Statement requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to the
costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production
facilities. This Statement is effective for inventory costs incurred during
fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company does not anticipate that
the implementation of this standard will have a material impact on its financial
position, results of operations or cash flows.

FASB Statement No. 67, Accounting for Costs and Initial Rental Operations of
Real Estate Projects, to state that the guidance for (a) incidental operations
and (b) costs incurred to sell real estate projects does not apply to real
estate time-sharing transactions. The accounting for those operations and costs
is subject to the guidance in SOP 04-2. This Statement is effective for

earlier application encouraged. The Company does not anticipate that the
implementation of this standard will have a material impact on its financial
position, results of operations or cash flows.
SFAS 153. On December 16, 2004, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 153, Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets, an amendment of APB Opinion
No. 29, Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions (" SFAS 153"). This statement
amends APB Opinion 29 to eliminate the exception for nonmonetary exchanges of
similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges
of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. Under SFAS 153, if
a nonmonetary exchange of similar productive assets meets a commercial-substance
criterion and fair value is determinable, the transaction must be accounted for
at fair value resulting in recognition of any gain or loss. SFAS 153 is
effective for nonmonetary transactions in fiscal periods that begin after June
15, 2005. The Company does not anticipate that the implementation of this
standard will have a material impact on its financial position, results of

Registration Rights Agreement
In connection with the $ 7,371,000 million convertible debt financing in the
quarter ended March 31, 2005, we agreed to register for resale the shares of
common stock issued to investors and the shares of common stock issuable upon
exercise of the investor warrants and placement warrants. The registration
obligations require, among other things, that a registration statement be
declared effective no later than July , 2005. We were unable to meet this
obligation and therefore paid to the investors liquidated damages equal to 3.5 %
of the amount paid by the investors to us in the offering, which damage payments
totaled an aggregate of approximately $ 257,985 per month, payable , at the
Company's sole option, in cash or in our unregistered common stock . We also
will be required to pay to each investor liquidated damages for any future
periods in which we are unable to maintain the effectiveness of the registration
in accordance with the requirements contained in the registration rights
agreement we entered into with the investors. Under the registration rights
agreement, there is no cap on the liquidated damages payable to the investors,
but the Company believes that the liquidated damages provision is no longer
enforceable because the availability of Rule 144 makes the provision grossly
inconsistent with actual damages.

NOTE F - STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS (continued)
In July 2005, the Company entered into an agreement with Trilogy Capital
Partners, Inc. and Joff Pollon ("Trilogy" and "Pollon") to provide marketing
services to the Company for a term of one year, and terminable thereafter by
either party upon 30 days prior written notice. In connection with the
agreement, we agreed to pay Trilogy a monthly fee of $12,500. The Company also
issued to Trilogy a warrant to purchase 7.5 million shares of common stock at
$0.55 per share and Pollon a warrant to purchase 1.5 million shares of common
stock at $0.55 per share, exercisable for a period of three years from issuance.
The warrant contains a "cashless" exercise provision. The warrants may be
settled in unregistered shares. In connection with these warrants, we also
agreed to file a registration statement with respect to the shares underlying
such warrants no later than the earlier to occur of: (i) 15 days following the
effectiveness of the Company's registration statement on Form SB-2, filed
February 15, 2005, as amended, or (ii) September 15, 2005. As of the date hereof
we have not filed a registration statement with respect to the shares of our
common stock underlying the warrants we issued to Trilogy. In the event that a
claim is successfully brought by Trilogy against us with respect to this matter,
it could result in a significant decrease in our liquidity or assets, which
could result in the reduction or termination of our business. The holder has
contractually agreed to restrict its ability to convert or exercise the warrants
and receive shares of our common stock such that the number of shares of common
stock held by it after such conversion or exercise does not exceed 5% of the
then issued and outstanding shares of common stock. In the quarter ended
September 30, 2005, the Company charged $180,000 to operations for compensatory
warrants granted in exchange for services.
In the quarter ended December 31, 2004, the Company charged $394,698 to
operations for compensatory warrants granted in exchange for services. The
estimated value of the compensatory warrants granted to non-employees in
exchange for services and financing expenses was determined using the
Black-Scholes pricing model and the following assumptions: contractual term of 2
to 5 years, a risk free interest rate of 4.25%, a dividend yield of 0% and
volatility of 22.9%.
In the quarter ended June 30, 2005, the Company charged $849,046 to operations
for compensatory warrants granted in exchange for services. The estimated value
of the compensatory warrants granted to non-employees in exchange for services
and financing expenses was determined using the Black-Scholes pricing model and
the following assumptions: contractual term of 2 to 5 years, a risk free
interest rate of 3.89%, a dividend yield of 0% and volatility of 55.9%.
In the quarter ended September 30, 2005, the Company reversed $765,460 of
compensatory warrants related to 3 million warrants due to cashless exercise
provisions. Both the stock price and exercise price were $0.60 as of June 30,
2005 resulting in no charge to operations per EITF 00-19. As of September 30,
2005, the stock price was lower than the exercise price with no charge to
expense.
In the quarter ended September 30, 2005, the Company reclassified 3 million
warrants due to their "cashless" exercise provision. The Company issued warrants
to directors and advisors to purchase 3 million shares of common stock at $0.60
per share, exercisable for a period of four years from issuance. The shares
underlying the warrants contain demand registration rights and may be settled by
the Company with unregistered shares of its common stock.
During the three months ended March 31, 2005, the Company granted an aggregate
of 300,000 stock options to directors that vested immediately. The exercise
prices of the stock options granted were below the fair value of the Company's
common stock at the grant date. Compensation expense of $180,000 was charged to
operations during the period ended March 30, 2005. In the quarter ended June 30,
2005, the Company canceled the unexercised 300,000 stock options and credited
expense for the previously recorded $180,000 in compensation. In exchange for
the canceled options, the Company issued 50,000 warrants with a $0.50 exercise
price and a five year life during the quarter ended June 30, 2005.

NOTE F - STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS (continued)
During the quarter ended September 30, 2005, the Company charged $327,202 to
operations for compensatory warrants granted in exchange for services for
warrants issued in December 2004. The estimated value of the compensatory
warrants granted to employees in exchange for services was determined using the
Black-Scholes pricing model and the following assumptions: contractual term of 3
years, a risk free interest rate of 4.38%, a dividend yield of 0% and volatility
of 100.1%.
The amount of the expense charged to operations for compensatory warrants
granted in exchange for services was $956,304 and $2,019,862, respectively, for
the years ended September 30, 2005 and 2004.
On February 14, 2005, the Company established an Employee Stock Ownership Plan
(ESOP), authorizing 16 million shares for the future issuance of incentive stock
options and non-statutory options. Incentive options s are issued at fair market
value while non-statutory options are issued at 110% of fair market value.
During the year ended September 30, 2005, 3.660 million shares were granted as
incentive stock options and vested as follows; 50% or 1.830 million shares
vesting on April 1, 2005, 25% vesting on July 1, 2005 and the remaining 25%
vesting on October 1, 2005. No ESOP shares were exercised as of June 30, 2005.
ESOP grants must be exercised within five (5) years. Had the Company charged
these warrants to operations, the resulting expense would have totaled
$1,406,350.
NOTE G- INCOME TAXES
The Company has adopted Financial Accounting Standard No. 109 which requires the
recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax
consequences of events that have been included in the financial statement or tax
returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined
based on the difference between financial statements and tax bases of assets and
liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the
differences are expected to reverse. Temporary differences between taxable
income reported for financial reporting purposes and income tax purposes are
insignificant.
At September 30, 2005, the Company has available for federal income tax purposes
a net operating loss carryforward of approximately $50,275,314, expiring in the
year 2023, that may be used to offset future taxable income. The Company has
provided a valuation reserve against the full amount of the net operating loss
benefit, since in the opinion of management based upon the earnings history of
the Company, it is more likely than not that the benefits will not be realized.
Due to significant changes in the Company's ownership, the future use of its
existing net operating losses may be limited.
Components of deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2005 are as follows:

In connection with the closing, the Company terminated the October 2002 license
agreement with Biowell, replacing it with a new Biowell license agreement
granting an exclusive license in selected Asian countries for an initial period
through December 31, 2010. If Biowell meets its performance goals, the license
agreement extends for an additional five year term. Sub-license payments due to
the Company are 50% for all fees, payments and consideration received. Biowell

certain employees. These employment agreements provide for salaries and
benefits, including stock options. In June of 2005, an Addendum was made to
several employment agreements providing defined commitments should the Company

NOTE K - GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern
basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of
liabilities in the normal course of business. As shown in the accompanying
financial statements during the period September 16, 2002 through September 30,
2005, the Company incurred a loss of $75,425,414. These factors among others may
indicate that the Company will be unable to continue as a going concern for a
reasonable period of time.
The Company's existence is dependent upon management's ability to develop
profitable operations. Management is devoting substantially all of its efforts
to developing DNA embedded biotechnology security solutions in the United States
and there can be no assurance that the Company's efforts will be successful.
However, the planned principal operations have not commenced and no assurance
can be given that management's actions will result in profitable operations or
the resolution of its liquidity problems. The accompanying statements do not
include any adjustments that might result should the Company be unable to
continue as a going concern.
In order to improve the Company's liquidity, the Company's management is
actively pursing additional equity financing through discussions with investment
bankers and private investors. There can be no assurance the Company will be
successful in its effort to secure additional equity financing.

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
ITEM 24. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
Our Articles of Incorporation, as amended, provide to the fullest extent
permitted by Nevada law, our directors or officers shall not be personally
liable to us or our shareholders for damages for breach of such director's or
officer's fiduciary duty. The effect of this provision of our Articles of
Incorporation, as amended, is to eliminate our right and our shareholders
(through shareholders' derivative suits on behalf of our company) to recover
damages against a director or officer for breach of the fiduciary duty of care
as a director or officer (including breaches resulting from negligent or grossly
negligent behavior), except under certain situations defined by statute. We
believe that the indemnification provisions in its Articles of Incorporation, as
amended, are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and
officers. In addition, we have entered into indemnification agreements with our
officers and directors.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise,
the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and
Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed
in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a
claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by
the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action,
suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person
in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant 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 by it is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
ITEM 25. OTHER EXPENSES OF ISSUANCE AND DISTRIBUTION.
The following table sets forth an itemization of all estimated expenses,
all of which we will pay, in connection with the issuance and distribution of

the merits and risks of their investment, and that they understood the
speculative nature of their investment. Furthermore, all of the above-referenced
persons were provided with access to our Securities and Exchange Commission
filings. Except as disclosed above, we have not employed any underwriters in
connection with any of the above transactions.

ITEM 28. UNDERTAKINGS.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to:
(1) File, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this registration statement to:
(i) Include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "Securities Act");
(ii) Reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which, individually or
together, represent a fundamental change in the information in the registration
statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of
securities offered (if the total dollar value of the 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) under the
Securities Act if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent
no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in
the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration
statement, and
(iii) Include any additional or changed material information on the plan of
distribution.
(2) For determining liability under the Securities Act, treat each
post-effective amendment as a new registration statement of the securities
offered, and the offering of the securities at that time to be the initial bona
fide offering.
(3) File a post-effective amendment to remove from registration any of the
securities that remain unsold at the end of the offering.
(4) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, treat
the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this
registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of
prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h)
under the Securities Act as part of this registration statement as of the time
it was declared effective.
(5) For determining any liability under the Securities Act, treat each
post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus as a new
registration statement for the securities offered in the registration statement,
and that offering of the securities at that time as the initial bona fide
offering of those securities.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may
be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been
advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and
is, therefore, unenforceable.
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other
than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director,
officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any
action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling
person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant 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 by it is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
