and accurate identification, location tracking, and condition monitoring
of high-value assets, announced today that its Argentina subsidiary,
Digital Angel SA, has already received non-cancelable orders for nearly
1.2 million visual cattle tags as of mid-March. The total, which includes
a new order of 175,000 tags, exceeds the total of 1.1 million orders for
the entire year of 2005, the first year the Company entered the cattle tag
market in the South American country. Digital Angel President and Chief Executive Officer Kevin McGrath said
the rapidly expanding orders demonstrates that the Company has established
a significant presence in Argentina, one of the most important cattle
markets in the world with an estimated 55 million head of cattle
throughout the country. "I am delighted by the success of our Argentine operation, particularly
by the fact that we have already exceeded our entire 2005 output in just
the first three months of 2006," McGrath said. "We are focused on making
Argentina a very strong and growing market for us and we have a very
impressive professional team in place. Their strong distribution network
and dedication to customer service is obviously already paying dividends
in terms of expanding our sales base. Our goal is to be a major player in
the cattle tags market in Argentina and other South American countries for
many years to come." About Digital Angel Corporation Digital Angel Corporation is majority-owned by Applied Digital Inc.
