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 and six month periods ended March 31, 2008 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year
ending September 30, 2008. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated September 30,
2007 financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's SEC
Form 10-KSB.
 
 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.  During the year ended
September 30, 2007, the Company transitioned from a development stage enterprise
to an operating company. The Company is principally devoted to developing DNA
embedded biotechnology security solutions in the United States. To date, the
Company has generated minimum sales revenues from its services and products; it
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 March 31,
2008, the Company has accumulated losses of $144,031,814.
 
 The
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, and its
wholly-owned subsidiaries Applied DNA Operations Management, Inc., APDN
(B.V.I.), Inc. and Applied DNA Sciences Europe Limited. Significant
inter-company transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
 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
 
 Revenues
are derived from research, development, qualification and production testing for
certain commercial products. Revenue from fixed price testing contracts is
generally recorded upon completion of the contracts, which are generally
short-term, or upon completion of identifiable contractual tasks. At the time
the Company enters into a contract that includes multiple tasks, the Company
estimates the amount of actual labor and other costs that will be required to
complete each task based on historical experience. Revenues are recognized which
provide for a profit margin relative to the testing performed. Revenue relative
to each task and from contracts which are time and materials based is recorded
as effort is expended. Billings in excess of amounts earned are deferred. Any
anticipated losses on contracts are charged to income when identified. To the
extent management does not accurately forecast the level of effort required to
complete a contract, or individual tasks within a contract, and the Company is
unable to negotiate additional billings with a customer for cost over-runs, the
Company may incur losses on individual contracts. All selling, general and
administrative costs are treated as period costs and expensed as
incurred.
 
 For
revenue from product sales, the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with
Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, REVENUE RECOGNITION ("SAB104"), which
superseded Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, REVENUE RECOGNITION IN FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS ("SAB101"). 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) collectability 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 collectability 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. The Company defers any revenue for which
the product has not been delivered or is subject to refund until such time that
the Company and the customer jointly determine that the product has been
delivered or no refund will be required. At March 31, 2008 the Company did not
have any deferred revenue.

 Revenue Recognition

 SAB 104
incorporates Emerging Issues Task Force 00-21 (“EITF 00-21”), MULTIPLE
DELIVERABLE REVENUE ARRANGEMENTS. EITF 00-21 addresses accounting for
arrangements that may involve the delivery or performance of multiple products,
services and/or rights to use assets.  The effect of implementing EITF
00-21 on the Company’s financial position and results of operations was not
significant.
 
 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.
 
 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 March 31,
2008 property and equipment consist of:

 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 255,551,691 and 199,215,916 for the six months ended March 31,
2008 and 2007, 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, 2006 and
for the subsequent periods. The Company issued employee unvested employee
options as stock-based compensation during the year ended September 30, 2006 and
therefore has no unrecognized stock compensation related liabilities ended
September 30, 2006. For the year ended September 30, 2007; the Company did not
issue any stock based compensation.

  NOTE
A — SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
 
 Stock Based Compensation
(continued)
 
 On
January 1, 2006, we adopted the fair value recognition provisions of Financial
Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
("SFAS") No. 123, Accounting for Stock Based Compensation, to account for
compensation costs under our stock option plans. We previously utilized the
intrinsic value method under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25,
Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (as amended) ("APB 25"). Under the
intrinsic value method prescribed by APB 25, no compensation costs were
recognized for our employee stock options because the option exercise price
equaled the market price on the date of the grant. Prior to January 1, 2006 we
only disclosed the pro forma effects on net income and earnings per share as if
the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123(R) had been
utilized.
 
 In
adopting SFAS No. 123(R), the Company elected to use the modified prospective
method to account for the transition from the intrinsic value method to the fair
value recognition method. Under the modified prospective method, compensation
cost is recognized from the adoption date forward for all new stock options
granted and for any outstanding unvested awards as if the fair value method had
been applied to those awards as of the date of the grant. In the six month
period ended March 31, 2008, the Company did not grant employee stock
options.
 
 Concentrations of Credit
Risk
 
 Financial
instruments and related items, which potentially subject the Company to
concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents and
trade receivables.  The Company places its cash and temporary cash
investments with high credit quality institutions.  At times, such
investments may be in excess of the FDIC insurance limit. The Company
periodically reviews its trade receivables in determining its allowance for
doubtful accounts.  At March 31, 2008, allowance for doubtful
receivable was $0.
 
 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 development 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 $55,900 and $92,226 for
the three and six month period ended March 31, 2008, respectively
and  $39,479 and $68,785 for the three and six month period ended
March 31, 2007, respectively.
 
 Reclassifications
 
 Certain
reclassifications have been made in prior year's financial statements to conform
to classifications used in the current year.
 
 Advertising
 
 The
Company follows the policy of charging the costs of advertising to expense as
incurred.  The Company charged to operations $9,118 and $11,364 for
the three and six month period ended March 31, 2008; respectively and $8,557 as
advertising costs for the three and six month period March 31,
2008.
 
 Intangible
Assets
 
 The
Company amortized its intangible assets using the straight-line method over
their estimated period of benefit.  The estimated useful life 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 impairment exists.  All of our intangible assets
are subject to amortization.
 
 Restricted cash / other
current liabilities

  NOTE
A — SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
 
 Derivative Financial
Instruments
 
 The
Company's derivative financial instruments consisted of embedded derivatives
related to the 10% Secured Convertible Promissory Notes (the “Serial Notes")
issued in 2006. These embedded derivatives included certain conversion features,
variable interest features, call options and default provisions. The accounting
treatment of derivative financial instruments required that the Company record
the derivatives and related warrants at their fair values as of the inception
date of the Note Agreement (estimated at $2,419,719) and at fair value as of
each subsequent balance sheet date. In addition, under the provisions of EITF
Issue No. 00-19, "Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to,
and Potentially Settled in, a Company's Own Stock," as a result of entering into
the Notes, the Company was required to classify all other non-employee stock
options and warrants as derivative liabilities and mark them to market at each
reporting date.  Any change in fair value was recorded as
non-operating, non-cash income or expense at each reporting date. If the fair
value of the derivatives is higher at the subsequent balance sheet date, the
Company recorded a non-operating, non-cash charge. If the fair value of the
derivatives is lower at the subsequent balance sheet date, the Company recorded
non-operating, non-cash income. Conversion-related derivatives were valued using
the Binomial Option Pricing Model with the following assumptions: dividend yield
of 0%; annual volatility of 111 to 112%; and risk free interest rate of 4.96 to
5.15% as well as probability analysis related to trading volume restrictions.
The remaining derivatives were valued using discounted cash flows and
probability analysis. The derivatives were classified as long-term
liabilities.
 
 In
December 2006, the FASB issued FSP EITF 00-19-2, Accounting for Registration
Payment Arrangements ("FSP 00-19-2") which addresses accounting for registration
payment arrangements. FSP 00-19-2 specifies that the contingent obligation to
make future payments or otherwise transfer consideration under a registration
payment arrangement, whether issued as a separate agreement or included as a
provision of a financial instrument or other agreement, should be separately
recognized and measured in accordance with FASB Statement No. 5, Accounting for
Contingencies. FSP 00-19-2 further clarifies that a financial instrument subject
to a registration payment arrangement should be accounted for in accordance with
other applicable generally accepted accounting principles without regard to the
contingent obligation to transfer consideration pursuant to the registration
payment arrangement. For registration payment arrangements and financial
instruments subject to those arrangements that were entered into prior to the
issuance of EITF 00-19-2, this guidance shall be effective for financial
statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and interim
periods within those fiscal years.
 
 In
September 2007, the Company exchanged common stock for the remaining Secured
Convertible Promissory Notes that contained embedded derivatives such as certain
conversion features, variable interest features, call options and default
provisions as described above. As a result, the Company reclassified the warrant
liabilities recorded in conjunction with the convertible promissory notes to
equity as of the conversion date of the related debt.  Additionally,
the Company has an accumulative accrual of $11,750,941 in liquidating damages in
relationship to the previously outstanding convertible promissory notes and
related warrants.

periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted FSP 00-19-2 in the
preparation of the financial statements.
 
 In
February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” SFAS 159 permits entities to choose
to measure many financial instruments, and certain other items, at fair value.
SFAS 159 applies to reporting periods beginning after November 15, 2007. The
adoption of SFAS 159 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s
financial condition or results of operations.
 
 In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R),"Business Combinations"("SFAS
No. 141(R)"), which establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer
recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets
acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in an
acquiree, including the recognition and measurement of goodwill acquired in a
business combination. SFAS No. 141R is effective as of the beginning of the
first fiscal year beginning on or after December 15, 2008.  Earlier
adoption is prohibited and the Company is currently evaluating the effect, if
any, that the adoption will have on its financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.

 In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, "Noncontrolling Interest in
Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51"("SFAS No.
160"), which will change the accounting and reporting for minority interests,
which will be recharacterized as noncontrolling interests and classified as a

Company is currently evaluating the effect, if any, that the adoption will have

 NOTE
B - ACQUISITION OF INTANGIBLE ASSETS
 
 The
Company has adopted SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, whereby
the Company periodically tests 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.
 
 The
identifiable intangible assets acquired and their carrying value at March 31,
2008 is:

 During
the year ended September 30, 2006 the Company management performed an evaluation
of its intangible assets (intellectual property) for purposes of determining the
implied fair value of the assets at September 30, 2006. The test indicated that
the recorded remaining book value of its intellectual property exceeded its fair
value for the year ended September 30, 2006, as determined by discounted cash
flows.  As a result, upon completion of the assessment, management
recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $5,655,011, net of tax, or $0.05 per
share during the year ended September 30, 2006 to reduce the carrying value of
the patents to $2,091,800. Considerable management judgment is necessary to
estimate the fair value.  Accordingly, actual results could vary
significantly from management’s estimates.
 
 Total
amortization expense charged to operations for the three and six month ended
March 31, 2008 was $92,661 and $184,305, respectively; $92,661 and $184,305 for
the three and six month period ended March 31, 2007, respectively.

 NOTE
H- COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
 Operating Lease
Commitments
 
 The
Company leases office space under operating lease in Stony Brook, New York for
its corporate use from an entity controlled by significant former shareholder,
expiring in October 2008. In November 2005, the Company vacated the Los Angeles
facility to relocated to the new Stony Brook New York address. Total lease
rental expense for the three and six month period ended on March 31,
2008  was $19,338 and $37,421, respectively.
 
 Employment and Consulting
Agreements
 
 The
Company has consulting agreements with outside contractors, certain of whom are
also Company stockholders. The Agreements are generally month to
month.
 
 Litigation
 
 In
January 2006, a former employee of the Company filed a complaint alleging
wrongful termination against the Company. The former employee is seeking
$230,000 in damages. The Company believes that it has meritorious defenses to
the plaintiff’s claims and intends to vigorously defend itself against the
Plaintiff’s claims. 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.

  NOTE
H — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (continued)
 
 On April
23, 2008, a consultant filed a complaint related to a claim for breach of
contract.  In March 2005, the Company entered into a consulting
agreement which provided for, among other things, a payment of $6,000 per month
for a period of 24 months, or an aggregate of $144,000.  In addition,
the consulting agreement provided for the issuance of a five-year warrant to
purchase 250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock with an exercise price of
$.75.  The consultant asserts that the Company owes it 17 payments of
$6,000, or an aggregate of $102,000, plus accrued interest thereon, and a
warrant to purchase 250,000 shares of our common stock.  This matter
is in the early stages.  We intend to vigorously defend against the
claims asserted against us.
 
 The
Company is subject to other legal proceedings and claims, which arise in the
ordinary course of its business. Although occasional adverse decisions or
settlements may occur, the Company believes that the final disposition of such
matters should not have a material adverse effect on its financial position,
results of operations or liquidity.
 
 Registration of Company’s
Shares of Common Stock
 
 Until the
Company successfully completes its pending registration statement on SEC Form
SB-2, the Company is subject to liquidated damages.  In connection
with the $ 1,465,000 and $ 7,371,000 million convertible debt financing during
the quarters ended December 31, 2004 and March 31, 2005, respectively, , the
Company was obligated to deliver registered shares underlying the convertible
notes and warrants by July 2005. Since the registration was not effective by
July 2005, the Company has been accruing and charging to operations the
stipulated liquidated damages in shares of Company stock accruing at the rate of
3.5% per month on the face value of the previously issued convertible notes. As
of September 30, 2007, the Company has not had a registration statement declared
effective relating to the common stock underlying the Notes and related warrants
and in accordance with EITF 00-19-2, the Company evaluated the likelihood of
achieving registration statement effectiveness.  The Company has
charged to operations penalties of $7,725,585 for the year ended September 30,
2007 and has accrued $11,750,941 as of March 31, 2008 to account for these
potential liquidated damages until the expected effectiveness of the
registration statement is achieved (see Note C).

certain issuances of 8,550,000 shares to employees and consultants in July 2005,
and engaged outside counsel to conduct this investigation.  We have
voluntarily reported our current findings from the investigation to the SEC, and
we have agreed to provide the SEC with further information arising from the
investigation.  We believe that the issuance of 8,000,000 shares to
employees in July 2005 was effectuated by both our former President and our
former Chief Financial Officer/Chief Operating Officer without approval of the
Board of Directors.  These former officers received a total of
3,000,000 of these shares. In addition, it appears that the 8,000,000 shares
issued in July 2005, as well as an additional 550,000 shares issued to employees
and consultants in March, May and August 2005, were improperly issued without a
restrictive legend stating that the shares could not be resold legally except in
compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.  The members
of our management who effectuated the stock issuances that are being examined in
the investigation no longer work for us.  In the event that any of the
exemptions from registration with respect to the issuance of the Company’s
common stock under federal and applicable state securities laws were not
available, the Company may be subject to claims by federal and state regulators
for any such violations. In addition, if any purchaser of the Company’s common
stock were to prevail in a suit resulting from a violation of federal or
applicable state securities laws, the Company could be liable to return the
amount paid for such securities with interest thereon, less the amount of any
income received thereon, upon tender of such securities, or for damages if the
purchaser no longer owns the securities. As of the date of these financial
statements, the Company is not aware of any alleged specific violation or the
likelihood of any claim. There can be no assurance that litigation asserting
such claims will not be initiated, or that the Company would prevail in any such
litigation.
 
 The
Company is unable to predict the extent of its ultimate liability with respect
to any and all future securities matters. The costs and other effects of any
future litigation, government investigations, legal and administrative cases and
proceedings, settlements, judgments and investigations, claims and changes in
this matter could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial
condition and operating results

 NOTE
I - GOING CONCERN
 
 The
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated 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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements during
six month period ended March 31, 2008, the Company incurred a loss of
$3,458,431. 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
pursuing 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.
 
 NOTE
J – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

  ITEM
2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
  The
following discussion should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated
Financial Statements and Notes thereto, included elsewhere within this
report.  This quarterly report contains forward-looking statements
within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the
Exchange Act, including statements using terminology such as “can”, “may”,
“believe”, “designated to”, “will”, “expect”, “plan”, “anticipate”, “estimate”,
“potential” or “continue”, or the negative thereof or other comparable
terminology regarding beliefs, plans, expectations or intentions regarding the
future. You should read statements that contain these words carefully because
they:
  ·
              discuss
      our future expectations;·
              contain
      projections of our future results of operations or of our financial
      condition; and·
              state
      other “forward-looking”
information.
  We
believe it is important to communicate our expectations.  However,
forward looking statements involve risks and uncertainties and our actual
results and the timing of certain events could differ materially from those
discussed in forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors,
including those set forth under “Risk Factors,” “Business” and elsewhere in this
report.  All forward-looking statements and risk factors included in
this document are made as of the date hereof, based on information available to
us as of the date thereof, and we assume no obligations to update any
forward-looking statement or risk factor, unless we are required to do so by
law.
  Introduction
  We
provide botanical DNA encryption, embedment and authentication solutions that
can help protect companies, governments and consumers from counterfeiting,
fraud, piracy, product diversion, identity theft, and unauthorized intrusion
into physical locations and databases.  Our SigNature Program provides
a secure, accurate and cost-effective means for our customers to incorporate our
SigNature DNA Markers in, and then quickly and reliably authenticate and
identify, a broad range of items such as artwork and collectibles, fine wine,
consumer products, digital media, financial instruments, identity cards and
other official documents.  Having the ability to reliably authenticate
and identify counterfeit versions of such items enables companies and
governments to detect, deter, interdict and prosecute counterfeiting enterprises
and individuals.
  Our
SigNature Program enables our clients to cost-effectively:
  ·
              give
      assurance to manufacturers, suppliers, distributors, retailers and
      end-users that their products are authentic and can be forensically
      authenticated;·
              integrate
      our SigNature DNA Markers with existing security solutions such as
      barcodes, radio frequency identification (RFID) tags, holograms,
      microchips and other securities measures; and·
              add
      value to the “bottom-line” by helping to diminish product diversion and
      counterfeiting.
  Counterfeit
and diverted products continue to pose a significant and growing problem with
consumer packaged goods, especially for prestige and established brands
worldwide.  Piracy, identity theft and forged documents and items are
also highly prevalent in vertical markets such as digital media, fine art,
luxury goods, and alcoholic beverages.  Key aspects of our strategy
include:
  ·
              continuing
      to improve and customize our solution to meet our current and potential
      customers’ needs;·
              continuing
      to develop and enhance our existing DNA marker authentication
      technologies;·
              expanding
      our customer base both domestically and abroad by targeting high volume
      markets; and·
              augmenting
      our competitive position through strategic acquisitions and
      alliances.
  We have
also begun to develop and manufacture DermalRx, an ingredient for use in skin
care products, which allows for exfoliation without the irritation or
inflammation associated with chemical peeling.
  21
  Plan
of Operations
  General
  We expect
to generate revenues principally from sales of our SigNature
Program.  We are currently attempting to develop business in six
target markets: art and collectibles, fine wine, consumer products, digital
recording media, pharmaceuticals, and homeland security driven
programs.  We intend to pursue both domestic and international sales
opportunities in each of these vertical markets.
  We
believe that our existing capital resources will enable us to fund our
operations until approximately September 2008.  We believe we may be
required to seek additional capital to sustain or expand our prototype and
sample manufacturing, and sales and marketing activities, and to otherwise
continue our business operations beyond that date.  We have no
commitments for any future funding, and may not be able to obtain additional
financing or grants on terms acceptable to us, if at all, in the
future.  If we are unable to obtain additional capital this would
restrict our ability to grow and may require us to curtail or discontinue our
business operations.  Additionally, while a reduction in our business
operations may prolong our ability to operate, that reduction would harm our
ability to implement our business strategy.  If we can obtain any
equity financing, it may involve substantial dilution to our then existing
shareholders.
  Product
Research and Development
  We
anticipate spending approximately $150,000 for product research and development
activities during the next twelve (12) months.
  Acquisition
of Plant and Equipment and Other Assets
  We do not
anticipate the sale of any material property, plant or equipment during the next
12 months.  We do anticipate spending approximately $100,000 on the
acquisition of leasehold improvements during the next 12 months.  We
believe our current leased space is adequate to manage our growth, if any, over
the next 2 to 3 years.
  Number
of Employees
  We
currently have seven employees and three part-time employees.  The
company expects to increase its staffing dedicated to sales, product
prototyping, manufacturing of DNA markers and forensic authentication
services.  Expenses related to travel, marketing, salaries, and
general overhead will be increased as necessary to support our growth in
revenue.  In order for us to attract and retain quality personnel, we
anticipate we will have to offer competitive salaries to future
employees.  We anticipate that it may become desirable to add
additional full and or part time employees to discharge certain critical
functions during the next 12 months.  This projected increase in
personnel is dependent upon our ability to generate revenues and obtain sources
of financing.  There is no guarantee that we will be successful in
raising the funds required or generating revenues sufficient to fund the
projected increase in the number of employees.  As we continue to
expand, we will incur additional costs for personnel.
  Critical
Accounting Policies
  Financial
Reporting Release No. 60, published by the Securities and Exchange Commission
(“SEC”), recommends that all companies include a discussion of critical
accounting policies used in the preparation of their financial statements. While
all these significant accounting policies impact our financial condition and
results of operations, we view certain of these policies as critical. Policies
determined to be critical are those policies that have the most significant
impact on our consolidated financial statements and require management to use a
greater degree of judgment and estimates. Actual results may differ from those
estimates.
  We
believe that given current facts and circumstances, it is unlikely that applying
any other reasonable judgments or estimate methodologies would cause a material
effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or
liquidity for the periods presented in this report.
  The
accounting policies identified as critical are as follows:
  ·
              Equity
      issued with registration rights ;·
              Revenue
      recognition;·
              Allowance
      for doubtful accounts;·
              Warrant
      liability; and·
              Fair
      value of intangible assets.
  22
  Equity
Issued with Registration Rights
  In
connection with the placement of our convertible notes and warrants to certain
investors during the fiscal quarters ended December 31, 2003, December 31, 2004,
March 31, 2005, March 31, 2006 and June 30, 2006, we granted certain
registration rights that provide for liquidated damages in the event of failure
to timely perform under the agreements.  Although these notes and
warrants do not provide for net-cash settlement, the existence of liquidated
damages provides for a defacto net-cash settlement option.  Therefore,
the common stock underlying the notes and warrants subject to such liquidated
damages does not meet the tests required for shareholders’ equity classification
in the past, and accordingly has been reflected between liabilities and equity
in our previous consolidated balance sheet.
  In
September 2007, we exchanged our common stock for the remaining Secured
Convertible Promissory Note that contained embedded derivatives such as certain
conversion features, variable interest features, call options and default
provisions.
  The
Company has an accumulative accrual of $ 11,750,941 in liquidating damages in
relationship to the previously outstanding convertible promissory notes and
related warrants.
  Revenue
Recognition
  Revenues
are derived from research, development, qualification and production testing for
certain commercial products.
  Revenue
from fixed price testing contracts is generally recorded upon completion of the
contracts, which are generally short-term, or upon completion of identifiable
contractual tasks. At the time the Company enters into a contract that includes
multiple tasks, the Company estimates the amount of actual labor and other costs
that will be required to complete each task based on historical experience.
Revenues are recognized which provide for a profit margin relative to the
testing performed. Revenue relative to each task and from contracts which are
time and materials based is recorded as effort is expended. Billings in excess
of amounts earned are deferred. Any anticipated losses on contracts are charged
to income when identified. To the extent management does not accurately forecast
the level of effort required to complete a contract, or individual tasks within
a contract, and the Company is unable to negotiate additional billings with a
customer for cost over-runs, the Company may incur losses on individual
contracts. All selling, general and administrative costs are treated as period
costs and expensed as incurred.
  Allowance
for Uncollectible Receivables
  The
Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses
resulting from the inability of customers to make required payments. The Company
uses a combination of write-off history, aging analysis and any specific known
troubled accounts in determining the allowance. If the financial condition of
customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to
make payments, additional allowances could be required.
  Warrant
Liability
  In
connection with the placement of certain debt instruments, as described above,
we issued freestanding warrants.  Although the terms of the warrants
do not provide for net-cash settlement, in certain circumstances, physical or
net-share settlement is deemed to not be within our control and, accordingly, we
were required to account for these freestanding warrants as a derivative
financial instrument liability, rather than as shareholders’
equity.
  The
warrant liability is initially measured and recorded at its fair value, and is
then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported
as non-cash charges or credits to earnings.  For warrant-based
derivative financial instruments, the Black-Scholes option pricing model is used
to value the warrant liability.
  The
classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments
should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of
each reporting period.  Derivative instrument liabilities are
classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or
not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12
months of the balance sheet date.
  23
  In
December 2006, the FASB issued FSP EITF 00-19-2, Accounting for Registration
Payment Arrangements ("FSP 00-19-2") which addresses accounting for registration
payment arrangements.  FSP 00-19-2 specifies that the contingent
obligation to make future payments or otherwise transfer consideration under a
registration payment arrangement, whether issued as a separate agreement or
included as a provision of a financial instrument or other agreement, should be
separately recognized and measured in accordance with FASB Statement No. 5,
Accounting for Contingencies.  FSP 00-19-2 further clarifies that a
financial instrument subject to a registration payment arrangement should be
accounted for in accordance with other applicable generally accepted accounting
principles without regard to the contingent obligation to transfer consideration
pursuant to the registration payment arrangement.  For registration
payment arrangements and financial instruments subject to those arrangements
that were entered into prior to  the issuance of EITF 00-19-2, this
guidance shall be effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2006 and interim periods within those fiscal
years.
  As
described above, as of September 30, 2007, we exchanged common stock for the
previously issued Convertible Promissory Notes that contained certain embedded
derivative financial instruments.  As a result, the Company
reclassified the warrant liabilities recorded in conjunction with the
convertible promissory notes to equity as of the conversion date of the
remaining note.  We do not use derivative instruments to hedge
exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks.
  We do not
use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign
currency risks.
  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.  During the years ended
September 30, 2007 and 2006, our management performed an evaluation of the
Company’s intangible assets (intellectual property) for purposes of determining
the implied fair value of the assets at September 30, 2007 and 2006,
respectively.  The test indicated that the recorded remaining book
value of its intellectual property exceeded its fair value for the year ended
September 30, 2006, as determined by discounted cash flows.  As a
result, upon completion of the assessment, management recorded a non-cash
impairment charge of $5,655,011, net of tax, or $0.05 per share during the year
ended September 30, 2006 to reduce the carrying value of the patents to
$2,091,800.  Considerable management judgment is necessary to estimate
the fair value.  Accordingly, actual results could vary significantly
from management’s estimates.
  The
identifiable intangible assets acquired and their carrying value at March 31,
2008 is:

  Use
of Estimates
  In
preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America, management is required to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date
of the financial statements and revenue and expenses during the reporting
period.  The most significant estimates relate to the estimation of
percentage of completion on uncompleted contracts, valuation of inventory,
allowance for doubtful accounts and estimated life of customer
lists.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

  Three
Months Ended March 31, 2008 Compared With Three Months Ended March 31,
2007
  Revenues
  During
the year ended September 30, 2007, we transitioned from a development stage
enterprise to an operating company.  For the three months ended March
31, 2008, we generated $207,737 in revenues from operations and our cost of
sales for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $46,114, netting us a gross
profit of $161,623..  For the three months ended March 31, 2007, we
had no revenues or cost of sales.

  Interest
expense for the six months ended March 31, 2008 decreased by $430,734 to
$994,005 from $1,424,739 in the same period of 2007.  The decrease in
interest expense was due to a reduction in outstanding debt.
  Net
Income (loss)
  Net loss
for the six months ended March 31, 2008 decreased to $3,458,431 from a net loss
of $10,041,460 in the prior period primarily attributable to a combination of
the factors described above.
  Liquidity
and Capital Resources
  Our
liquidity needs consist of our 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.
  Substantially
all of the real property used in our business is leased under operating lease
agreements.
  As of
March 31, 2008, we had a working capital deficit of approximately $14.5
million.  For the six month period ended March 31, 2008, we generated
a net cash flow deficit from operating activities of approximately $2.0 million
consisting primarily of year to date losses of approximately $3.5
million.  Non-cash adjustments included $1,233,441 in depreciation and
amortization charges and common stock issued for services provided of
$1,040,000.  Additionally, we had a net increase in current assets of
$8,735 and a net increase in current liabilities of $794,669.  Cash
provided in investing activities totaled $394,428, primarily from release of
escrow funds of $399,920 net with acquisition of property and equipment of
$5,492. We met our cash flow needs by issuance of convertible notes of
$2,447,580, net, for the six months ended March 31, 2008.
  We expect
capital expenditures to be less than $200,000 in fiscal 2008. Our primary
investments will be in laboratory equipment to support prototyping and our
authentication services.

  Debt
and Equity Financing Transactions
  Fiscal
2006
  In fiscal
2006, we completed three private placements of convertible debt and associated
warrants. On November 3, 2005, we issued and sold a promissory note in the
principal amount of $550,000 to Allied International Fund, Inc. ("Allied").
Allied in turn financed a portion of the making of this loan by borrowing
$450,000 from certain persons, including $100,000 from Dr. Hayward, a director,
our President and Chief Executive Officer. The terms of the promissory note
provided that we issue upon the funding of the note warrants to purchase
5,000,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share to
certain persons designated by Allied. On November 9, 2005, we issued nine
warrants to Allied and eight other persons to purchase an aggregate of 5,500,000
shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share. These
warrants included a warrant to purchase 1,100,000 shares that was issued to Dr.
Hayward, a director, our President and Chief Executive Officer. We paid $55,000
in cash to VC Arjent, Ltd. for its services as the placement agent with respect
to this placement. All principal and accrued but unpaid interest under the
promissory note was paid in full shortly after the closing of and from the
proceeds of a private placement we completed on March 8, 2006.  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
first two 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 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
consisted 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.  On May 2, 2006, we closed on the first tranche of
the Offshore Offering in which we sold 20 units for aggregate gross proceeds of
$1,000,000. We paid Arjent Limited $375,000 in commissions, fees and expenses
from these gross proceeds.  On June 15, 2006, we completed the second
tranche of the Offshore Offering in which we sold 59 units for aggregate gross
proceeds of $2,950,000. We paid Arjent Limited $442,500 in commissions, fees and
expenses from these gross proceeds.  Additionally, on July 10, 2006 we
issued 2.4 million shares of our common stock to Arjent Limited at $0.001 per
share as partial consideration for its services in connection with the Offshore
Offering.
  Fiscal
2007
  In fiscal
2007, we issued sold an aggregate principal amount of $850,000 in secured
convertible promissory notes bearing interest at 10% per annum and warrants to
purchase an aggregate of 1,700,000 shares of our common stock to Dr. James A.
Hayward, a director, the Chairman of the Board of Directors, our President and
Chief Executive Officer, as follows:
  ·
              On
      April 23, 2007, we issued and sold a $100,000 principal amount secured
      promissory note bearing interest at a rate of 10% per annum and a warrant
      to purchase 200,000 shares of our common stock.  The promissory
      note and accrued but unpaid interest thereon are convertible into shares
      of common stock of the Company at a price of $0.50 per share by the holder
      of the promissory note at any time from April 23, 2007 through April 22,
      2008, and shall automatically convert on April 22, 2008 at a conversion
      price of $0.15.  The warrant is exercisable for a four-year
      period commencing on April 23, 2008, and expiring on April 22, 2012, at a

      redemption price of $0.001 upon the earlier of (i) April 22, 2010, and
      (ii) the date our common stock has traded on The Over the Counter Bulletin
      Board at or above $1.00 per share for 20 consecutive trading
      days.·
              On
      June 30, 2007, we issued and sold a $250,000 principal amount secured
      promissory note bearing interest at a rate of 10% per annum and a warrant
      to purchase 500,000 shares of our common stock.  The promissory
      note 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
      promissory note at any time from June 30, 2007 through June 29, 2008, and
      shall automatically convert on June 30, 2008 at a conversion price of
      $0.087732076 per share, which is equal to a 20% discount to the average
      volume, weighted average price of our common stock for the ten trading
      days prior to issuance.  The warrant is exercisable for a
      four-year period commencing on June 30, 2008, and expiring on June 29,
      2012, at a price of $0.50 per
share.
  27
  ·
              On
      July 30, 2007, we issued and sold a $200,000 principal amount secured
      promissory note bearing interest at a rate of 10% per annum and a warrant
      to purchase 400,000 shares of our common stock.  The promissory
      note 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
      promissory note at any time from July 30, 2007 through July 29, 2008, and
      shall automatically convert on July 30, 2008 at a conversion price of
      $0.102568072 per share, which is equal to a 20% discount to the average
      volume, weighted average price of our common stock for the ten trading
      days prior to issuance.  The warrant is exercisable for a
      four-year period commencing on July 30, 2008, and expiring on July 29,
      2012, at a price of $0.50 per share.·
              On
      September 28, 2007, we issued and sold a $300,000 principal amount secured
      promissory note bearing interest at a rate of 10% per annum and a warrant
      to purchase 600,000 shares of our common stock.  The promissory
      note 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
      promissory note at any time from September 28, 2007 through September 27,
      2008, and shall automatically convert on September 28, 2008 at a
      conversion price of $0.066429851 per share, which is equal to a 20%
      discount to the average volume, weighted average price of our common stock
      for the ten trading days prior to issuance.  The warrant is
      exercisable for a four-year period commencing on September 28, 2008, and
      expiring on September 27, 2012, at a price of $0.50 per
    share.
 
  In
addition, on June 27, 2007, we completed a private placement offering of
convertible debt and associated warrants in which we issued and sold to certain
investors an aggregate of 3 units of our securities, each unit consisting of (i)
a $50,000 Principal Amount of 10% Secured Convertible Promissory Note and (ii)
warrants to purchase 100,000 shares of our common stock. 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 holders of the notes at any time from June 27,
2007 to June 26, 2008, and shall automatically convert at $0.15 per share on
June 27, 2008. At any time prior to conversion, we have the right to prepay the
notes and accrued but unpaid interest thereon upon 3 days notice (during which
period the holders can elect to convert the notes).  The warrants are
exercisable for a four year period commencing on June 27, 2008, and expiring on
June 26, 2012, at a price of $0.50 per share.
  Fiscal
2008
  In the
fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2007, we sold twenty-six and a half units at a
price of $100,000 per unit for sale to “accredited investors,” as defined in
regulations promulgated under the Securities Act, for aggregate gross proceeds
of $2,650,000.  Each unit consists of (i) a $100,000 Principal Amount
10% Secured Convertible Promissory Note and (ii) a warrant to purchase 200,000
shares of our common stock.  The promissory notes and accrued but
unpaid interest thereon automatically convert one year after issuance at a
conversion price equal to a discount to the average volume, weighted average
price of our common stock for the ten trading days prior to issuance, and are
convertible into shares of our common stock at the option of the holder at any
time prior to such automatic conversion at a price equal to the greater of (i)
50% of the average price of our common stock for the ten trading days prior to
the date of the notice of conversion and (ii) the automatic conversion
price.  In addition, any time prior to conversion, we have the
irrevocable right to repay the unpaid principal and accrued but unpaid interest
under the notes on three days notice.  The promissory notes bear
interest at the rate of 10% per annum and are due and payable in full on the one
year anniversary of their issuance.  The warrants are exercisable for
cash or on a cashless basis for a period of four years commencing one year after
issuance at a price of $0.50 per share.  Each warrant may be redeemed
at our option at a redemption price of $0.01 upon the earlier of (i) three years
after the issuance, and (ii) the date our common stock has traded on The Over
the Counter Bulletin Board at or above $1.00 per share for 20 consecutive
trading days.
  28
  From
January 1, 2008 through the end of March 2008, we sold seven units at a price of
$100,000 per unit for sale to “accredited investors,” as defined in regulations
promulgated under the Securities Act, for aggregate gross proceeds of
$700,000.  Each unit consists of (i) a $100,000 Principal Amount 10%
Secured Convertible Promissory Note and (ii) a warrant to purchase 200,000
shares of our common stock.  The promissory notes and accrued but
unpaid interest thereon automatically convert one year after issuance at a
conversion price equal to a discount to the average volume, weighted average
price of our common stock for the ten trading days prior to issuance, and are
convertible into shares of our common stock at the option of the holder at any
time prior to such automatic conversion at a price equal to the greater of (i)
50% of the average price of our common stock for the ten trading days prior to
the date of the notice of conversion and (ii) the automatic conversion
price.  In addition, any time prior to conversion, we have the
irrevocable right to repay the unpaid principal and accrued but unpaid interest
under the notes on three days notice.  The promissory notes bear
interest at the rate of 10% per annum and are due and payable in full on the one
year anniversary of their issuance.  The warrants are exercisable for
cash or on a cashless basis for a period of four years commencing one year after
issuance at a price of $0.50 per share.  Each warrant may be redeemed
at our option at a redemption price of $0.01 upon the earlier of (i) three years
after the issuance, and (ii) the date our common stock has traded on The Over
the Counter Bulletin Board at or above $1.00 per share for 20 consecutive
trading days.
  We claim
an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act for the
private placement of the units described above pursuant to Section 4(2) of the
Securities Act because each of the units was made in a sale by the issuer not
involving a public offering.
  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 would 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
currently require additional financing in order to meet our current and
projected cash flow deficits from operations and development.  We have
sufficient funds to conduct our operations for approximately seven
months.  We presently do not have any available credit, bank financing
or other readily available external sources of liquidity.  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 securities or borrowing.  Further, if we issue
additional equity or convertible 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,
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 January 14, 2008, 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.
  Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
  We do not
have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
  Inflation
  The
effect of inflation on our revenue and operating results was not
significant.
  Going
Concern
  The
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in
this filing have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles that contemplate our continuance as a going concern.  Our
auditors, in their report dated January 14, 2008, have expressed substantial
doubt about our ability to continue as going concern.  Our cash
position may be inadequate to pay all of the costs associated with the testing,
production and marketing of our products.  Management intends to use
borrowings and the sale of equity or convertible debt to mitigate the effects of
its cash position, however no assurance can be given that debt or equity
financing, if and when required will be available.  The accompanying
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any
adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets
and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to
continue existence.
  29
  RISK
FACTORS
  Because
of the following factors, as well as other variables affecting our operating
results and financial condition, past financial performance may not be a
reliable indicator of future performance, and historical trends should not be
used to anticipate results or trends in future periods.
  Risks
Relating To Our Business:
  We
have a short operating history, a relatively new business model, and have not
produced significant revenues.  This makes it difficult to evaluate
our future prospects and increases the risk that we will not be
successful.
  We have a
short operating history with our current business model, which involves the
marketing, sale and distribution of botanical DNA encryption, embedment and
authentication products and services, which are based on technologies that we
acquired in July 12, 2005 from Biowell Technology, Inc.
(“Biowell”).  We first derived revenue from this model in the second
calendar quarter of 2006, which was insignificant.  Prior to the July
12, 2005 acquisition, our operations consisted principally of providing
marketing and business development services to Biowell.  As a result,
we have a very limited operating history for you to evaluate in assessing our
future prospects.  In fiscal 2007 we transitioned from a developmental
stage to an operating company.  Our operations since inception have
not produced significant revenues, and may not produce significant revenues in
the near term, or at all, which may harm our ability to obtain additional
financing and may require us to reduce or discontinue our
operations.  If we create revenues in the future, prior to our
introduction of any new products, we will derive all such revenues from the sale
of botanical DNA encryption, encapsulation, embedment and authentication
products and services, which is an immature industry.  You must
consider our business and prospects in light of the risks and difficulties we
will encounter as an early-stage company in a new and rapidly evolving
industry.  We may not be able to successfully address these risks and
difficulties, which could significantly harm our business, operating results,
and financial condition.
  We have a history of
losses which may continue, and which mayharm our ability to obtain
financing and continue our operations.
  We
incurred net losses of $13.3 million for the year ended September 30, 2007 and
$2.4 million for the year ended September 30, 2006.  For the six
months ended March 31, 2008, we incurred a net loss from operations of
$3,458,431.  These net losses have principally been the result of the
various costs associated with our selling, general and administrative expenses
as we commenced operations, acquired, developed and validated technologies,
began marketing activities, and our interest expense on notes and warrants we
issued to obtain financing.  Our operations are subject to the risks
and competition inherent in a company that moved from the development stage to
an operating company.  We may not generate sufficient revenues from
operations to achieve or sustain profitability on a quarterly, annual or any
other basis in the future.  Our revenues and profits, if any, will
depend upon various factors, including whether our existing products and
services or any new products and services we develop will achieve any level of
market acceptance.  If we continue to incur losses, our accumulated
deficit will continue to increase, which might significantly impair our ability
to obtain additional financing.  As a result, our business, results of
operations and financial condition would be significantly harmed, and we may be
required to reduce or terminate our operations.
  If
we are unable to obtain additional financing our business operations will be
harmed or discontinued, and if we do obtain additional financing our
shareholders may suffer substantial dilution.
  We believe that our
existing capital resources will enable us to fund our operations until
approximately September 2008.We believe we
will be required to seek additional capital to sustain or expand our prototype
and sample manufacturing, and sales and marketing activities, and to otherwise
continue our business operations beyond that date.We have no
commitments for any future funding, and may not be able to obtain additional
financing or grants
on terms acceptable to us, if at all, in the future.  If we are unableto obtain additional capital this would restrict our ability to grow and
may require us to curtail or discontinue our business
operations.  Additionally, while a reduction in our business
operations may prolong our ability to operate, that reduction would harm our
ability to implement our business strategy.  If we can obtain any
equity financing, it may involve substantial dilution to our then existing
shareholders.
  30
  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 January 14, 2008, our independent auditors stated that our
financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2007 were prepared
assuming that we would continue as a going concern, and that they have
substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going
concern.  Our auditors’ doubts are based on our incurring net losses
of $13.3 million for the year ended September 30, 2007.  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 by the sale of our securities,
obtaining loans from financial institutions, or obtaining grants from various
organizations or governments, where possible.  Our continued net
operating losses and our auditors’ doubts increase the difficulty of our meeting
such goals and our efforts to continue as a going concern may not prove
successful.
  If
our existing products and services are not accepted by potential customers or we
fail to introduce new products and services, our business, results of operations
and financial condition will be harmed.
  There has
been limited or no market acceptance of our botanical DNA encryption,
encapsulation, embedment and authentication products and services to
date.  Some of the factors that will affect whether we achieve market
acceptance of our solutions include:
  ·
              availability,
      quality and price relative to competitive solutions;·
              customers’
      opinions of the solutions’ utility;·
              ease
      of use;·
              consistency
      with prior practices;·
              scientists’
      opinions of the solutions’ usefulness;·
              citation
      of the solutions in published research; and·
              general
      trends in anti-counterfeit and security solutions’
    research.
  The
expenses or losses associated with the continued lack of market acceptance of
our solutions will harm our business, operating results and financial
condition.
  Rapid
technological changes and frequent new product introductions are typical for the
markets we serve.  Our future success may depend in part on
continuous, timely development and introduction of new products that address
evolving market requirements.  We believe successful new product
introductions may 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 any market share we then have 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 may not keep pace with the rapid rate of
change in anti-counterfeiting and security products’ research, and any new
products acquired or developed by us may not meet the requirements of the
marketplace or achieve market acceptance.
  If
we are unable to retain the services of Drs. Hayward or Liang we may not be able
to continue our operations.
  Our
success depends to a significant extent upon the continued service of Dr. James
A. Hayward, one of our directors, our President and Chief Executive Officer; and
Dr. Benjamin Liang, our Secretary and Strategic Technology Development
Officer.  We do not have employment agreements with Drs. Hayward or Liang.Loss of the services of Drs. Hayward or
Liangcould
significantly harm our business, results of operations and financial
condition.  We do not maintain key-man insurance on the lives of
Drs.Hayward or
Liang.
  The
markets for our SigNature program are very competitive, and we may be unable to
continue to compete effectively in this industry in the future.
  The
principal markets for our SigNature Program are intensely
competitive.  We compete with many existing suppliers and new
competitors continue to enter the market.  Many of our competitors,
both in the United States and elsewhere, are major pharmaceutical, chemical and
biotechnology companies, or have strategic alliances with such 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 successful than us
in producing and marketing their existing products.  Some of our
competitors that operate in the anti-counterfeiting and fraud prevention markets
include: Authentix, Collectors Universe Inc., Data Dot Technology, Digimarc
Corp., DNA Technologies, Inc., ID Global, Informium AG, Inksure Technologies,
Kodak, L-1 Identity Solutions, Manakoa, OpSec Security Group, SmartWater
Technology, Inc., Sun Chemical Corp, and Tracetag.
  31
  We expect
this competition to continue and intensify in the future.  Competition
in our markets is primarily driven by:
  ·
              product
      performance, features and liability;·
              price;·
              timing
      of product introductions;·
              ability
      to develop, maintain and protect proprietary products and
      technologies;·
              sales
      and distribution capabilities;·
              technical
      support and service;·
              brand
      loyalty;·
              applications
      support; and·
              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
significantly harmed.
  We
need to expand our sales, marketing and support organizations and our
distribution arrangements to increase market acceptance of our products and
services.
  We
currently have few sales, marketing, customer service and support personnel and
will need to increase our staff to generate a greater volume of sales and to
support any new customers or the expanding needs of existing
customers.  The employment market for sales, marketing, customer
service and support personnel in our industry is very competitive, and we may
not be able to hire the kind and number of sales, marketing, customer service
and support personnel we are targeting.  Our inability to hire
qualified sales, marketing, customer service and support personnel may harm our
business, operating results and financial condition.  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.  If we are not able to develop greater distribution capacity, we
may not be able to generate sufficient revenue to support our
operations.
  A
manufacturer’s inability or willingness to produce our goods on time and to our
specifications could result in lost revenue and net losses.
  Though we
manufacture prototypes, samples and some of our own products, we currently do
not own or operate any significant manufacturing facilities and depend upon
independent third parties for the manufacture of some of our products to our
specifications.  The inability of a manufacturer to ship orders of
such 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 harm our business by resulting
in decreased revenues or net losses upon sales of products, if any sales could
be made.
  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 our existing manufacturers
must be replaced, we will need to establish new relationships with another or
multiple manufacturers.  We cannot assure you that this additional
third party manufacturing capacity will be available when required on terms that
are acceptable to us or terms similar to those we have with our existing
manufacturers, either from a production standpoint or a financial
standpoint.  We do not have long-term contracts with our
manufacturers, and our manufacturers do not produce our products
exclusively.  Should we be forced to replace 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.
  32
  If
a manufacturer 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 their ultimate
actions.  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 our independent manufacturers, 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.
  Failure
to license new technologies could impair sales of our existing products or any
new product development we undertake in the future.
  To
generate broad product lines, it is advantageous to sometimes license
technologies from third parties rather than depend exclusively on the
development efforts of 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.  There can be
no assurance that we will be able 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.  Intellectual property licenses would typically
subject us to various commercialization, 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,
and we may not receive significant indemnification from a licensor against third
party claims of intellectual property infringement.
  Our
failure to manage our growth in operations and acquisitions of new product lines
and new businesses could harm our business.
  Any
growth in our operations, if any, will place a significant strain on our current
management resources.  To manage such growth, we would need to improve
our:
  ·
              operations
      and financial systems;·
              procedures
      and controls; and·
              training
      and management of our employees.
  Our
future growth, if any, may be attributable to acquisitions of new product lines
and new businesses.  Future acquisitions, if successfully consummated,
would likely create increased working capital requirements, which would likely
precede by several months any material contribution of an acquisition to our net
income.  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 would face additional risks,
including:
  ·
              difficulties
      in staffing, managing and integrating international operations due to
      language, cultural or other differences;·
              different
      or conflicting regulatory or legal requirements;·
              foreign
      currency fluctuations; and·
              diversion
      of significant time and attention of our
  management.
  33
  Failure
to attract and retain qualified scientific, production and managerial personnel
could harm our business.
  Recruiting
and retaining qualified scientific and production personnel to perform and
manage prototype, sample, and product manufacturing and business development
personnel to conduct business development are critical to our
success.  In addition, our desired 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.  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, we may not be able to continue to
successfully attract qualified personnel.  The failure to attract and
retain these personnel or, alternatively, to develop this expertise internally
would harm our business since our ability to conduct business development and
manufacturing will be reduced or eliminated, resulting in lower
revenues.  We generally do not enter into employment agreements
requiring our employees to continue in our employment for any period of
time.
  Our
intellectual property rights are valuable, and any inability to protect them
could reduce the value of our products, services and brand.
  Our
patents, trademarks, trade secrets, copyrights and all of our other intellectual
property rights are important assets for us. There are events that are outside
of our control that pose a threat to our intellectual property rights as well as
to our products and services.  For example, effective intellectual
property protection may not be available in every country in which our products
and services are distributed.  The efforts we have taken to protect
our proprietary rights may not be sufficient or effective.  Any
significant impairment of our intellectual property rights could harm our
business or our ability to compete.  Protecting our intellectual
property rights is costly and time consuming.  Any increase in the
unauthorized use of our intellectual property could make it more expensive to do
business and harm our operating results.  Although we seek to obtain
patent protection for our innovations, it is possible we may not be able to
protect some of these innovations.  Given the costs of obtaining
patent protection, we may choose not to protect certain innovations that later
turn out to be important.  There is always the possibility that the
scope of the protection gained from one of our issued patents will be
insufficient or deemed invalid or unenforceable.  We also seek to
maintain certain intellectual property as trade secrets. The secrecy could be
compromised by third parties, or intentionally or accidentally by our employees,
which would cause us to lose the competitive advantage resulting from these
trade secrets.
  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.  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.  A court may decide that we are
infringing the third party’s patents and would order us to stop the activities
covered by the patents.  In addition, a court may 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.
  34
  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 or our licensor’s issued
patents or 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.  Though we have product liability
insurance coverage which we believe is adequate, we may not be able to 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 customers, former employees, former officers and directors, former
distributors and sales representatives, and vendors and service
providers.  We have faced such claims and litigation 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 March 31, 2008, this could result in a significant
decrease in our liquidity or assets, which could result in the reduction or
termination of our business.
  Our
failure to have our Registration Statement on Form S-1 declared effective by the
SEC could harm our ability to seek financing.
  On
October 15, 2005 we filed a registration statement on Form SB-2 (now on Form
S-1) with the SEC registering for resale common stock issued upon conversion of
convertible promissory notes and underlying warrants.  In response to
the SEC's comment and review process we have filed nine amendments to the
registration statement to date.  If the registration statement is
declared effective, we are obligated to file additional registration statements
with respect to subsequent private placements of common stock issued upon
convertible promissory notes and underlying warrants.  Our failure to
have the registration statement declared effective on a timely basis may harm
our ability to seek financing in the future.
  We
are obligated to pay liquidated damages as a result of our failure to have our
registration statement declared effective prior to June 15, 2005, and any
payment of liquidated damages will either result in depletion of our limited
working capital or issuance of shares of common stock which would cause dilution
to our existing shareholders.
  35
  Pursuant
to the terms of a registration rights agreement with respect to common stock
underlying convertible notes and warrants we issued in private placements in
November and December, 2003, December, 2004, and January and February, 2005, if
we did not have a registration statement registering the shares underlying these
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, which equals $367,885, until the registration
statement is declared effective.  At our option, these liquidated
damages can be paid in cash or unregistered shares of our common
stock.  To date we have decided to pay certain of these 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 to persons who invested in the January and February, 2005 private
placements.  The issuance of
shares upon any payment by us of further 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.
  We paid
liquidated damages in the form of common stock only for the period from June 15,
2005 to December 15, 2005, and only to persons who invested in the January and
February, 2005 private placements.  We believe that we have no
enforceable obligation to pay liquidated damages to holders of any shares we
agreed to register under the registration rights agreement for periods after the
first anniversary of the date of issuance of such shares, since they were
eligible for resale under Rule 144 of the Securities Act during such periods,
and such liquidated damages are grossly inconsistent with actual damages to such
persons.  Nonetheless, as of March 31, 2008 we have accrued
approximately $11.8 million in penalties representing further liquidated damages
associated with our failure to have the registration statement declared
effective by the deadline, and have included this amount in accounts payable and
accrued expenses.
  We
initially filed our registration statement on Form SB-2 with the SEC on February
15, 2005.  We filed Amendment No.9 to the Registration Statement on
Form SB-2 on Form S-1 on April 21, 2008 and the SEC’s review and comment process
is continuing.  We can give no estimate as to when the registration
statement will be declared effective.  Our failure to have the
registration statement declared effective has and may continue to adversely
impact our ability to secure financing.
  Matter
voluntarily reported to the Securities and Exchange Commission
  During
the months of March, May, July and August 2005, we issued a total of 8,550,000
shares of our common stock to certain employees and consultants pursuant to the
2005 Incentive Stock Plan.  We engaged our outside counsel to conduct
an investigation of the circumstances surrounding the issuance of these
shares.  On April 26, 2006, we voluntarily reported the findings from
this investigation to the SEC, and agreed to provide the SEC with further
information arising from the investigation.  We believe that the
issuance of 8,000,000 shares to employees in July 2005 was effectuated by both
our former President and our former Chief Financial Officer/Chief Operating
Officer without approval of our board of directors.  These former
officers received a total of 3,000,000 of these shares.  In addition,
it appears that the 8,000,000 shares issued in July 2005, as well as an
additional 550,000 shares issued to employees and consultants in March, May and
August 2005, were improperly issued without a restrictive legend stating that
the shares could not be resold legally except in compliance with the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended.  The members of the Company's management who
effectuated the stock issuances no longer work for the Company.  These
shares were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, or the securities
laws of any state, and we believe that certain of these shares may have been
sold on the open market, though we have been unable to determine the magnitude
of such sales.  Since our voluntary report of the findings of our
internal investigation to the SEC on April 26, 2006, we have received no
communication from the SEC or any third party with respect to this
matter.  If violations of securities laws occurred in connection with
the resale of certain of these shares, the 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 harm
our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
  36
  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 May
13, 2008, we had 192,869,937 shares of common stock issued and outstanding and
outstanding options and warrants to purchase 79,743,464 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 or Section 15(d) 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, 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 six years, however, there can be no assurance that in the future we will
always be current in our reporting requirements.
  We
may not be able to implement section 404 of the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002 on a
timely basis.
  The SEC,
as directed by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, adopted rules generally
requiring each public company to include a report of management on the company's
internal controls over financial reporting in its annual report on Form 10-KSB
that contains an assessment by management of the effectiveness of the company's
internal controls over financial reporting.  This requirement will
first apply to our annual report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ending
September 30, 2008.  Under current rules, commencing with our annual
report for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2009 our independent registered
accounting firm must attest to and report on management's assessment of the
effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting.
  We have
not yet developed a Section 404 implementation plan.  We have in the
past discovered, and may in the future discover, areas of our internal controls
that need improvement.  How companies should be implementing these new
requirements including internal control reforms to comply with Section 404's
requirements and how independent auditors will apply these requirements and test
companies' internal controls, is still reasonably uncertain.
  We expect
that we will need to hire and/or engage additional personnel and incur
incremental costs in order to complete the work required by Section
404.  We may not be able to complete a Section 404 plan on a timely
basis.  Additionally, upon completion of a Section 404 plan, we may
not be able to conclude that our internal controls are effective, or in the
event that we conclude that our internal controls are effective, our independent
accountants may disagree with our assessment and may issue a report that is
qualified.  Any failure to implement required new or improved
controls, or difficulties encountered in their implementation, could harm our
operating results or cause us to fail to meet our reporting
obligations.
  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 SEC
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:
  37
  ·
              that
      a broker or dealer approve a person’s account for transactions in penny
      stocks; and·
              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:
  ·
              obtain
      financial information and investment experience objectives of the person;
      and·
              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 SEC relating to the penny stock market,
which, in highlight form:
  ·
              sets
      forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability
      determination; and·
              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.
  Item
3. Controls and Procedures
  a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls
and Procedures: As of March 31, 2008, our management carried out an
evaluation, under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the
Company's system of disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to the Exchange
Act and Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated thereunder.  Based
upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer
concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were not effective, as of
the date of their evaluation, for the purposes of recording, processing,
summarizing and timely reporting material information required to be disclosed
in reports filed under the Exchange Act.
  As
previously disclosed in our Current Reports on Form 8-K, filed on May 18, 2006
and October 2, 2006, as a result of comments raised by the SEC, we determined
that accounting errors were made in connection with
  ·
              accounting
      for and disclosing the fair value of warrants and options to acquire our
      common stock issued to non-employees as a current period
      expense;·
              accounting
      for and disclosing the fair value of shares issued to a former Director in
      exchange for previously incurred debt;·
              accounting
      for and disclosing the fair value of warrants issued to note holders and
      consultants having registration rights; and·
              accounting
      for and disclosing the revaluation for warrant liabilities as of each
      reporting period.
  Based on
the impact of the aforementioned accounting errors, we determined to restate our
consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2005 and for the year
ended September 30, 2005 and the quarterly unaudited data for the first three
quarters of 2006 and all of 2005.
  b) Changes in internal control over
financial reporting:  There were no changes in internal
controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by
this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to
materially effect, our internal control over financial reporting.

  PART
II.  OTHER INFORMATION
  ITEM
1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
  From time
to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which
arise in the ordinary course of business.  However, litigation is
subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other
matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. Except as
described below, we are currently not aware of any such legal proceedings that
we believe will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse
affect on our business, financial condition or operating results.
  Paul
Reep v. Applied DNA Sciences, Inc. et al. (Los Angeles Superior Court Case No.
BC345702):
  Plaintiff
Paul Reep, a former employee, commenced this action against us on January 10,
2006.  Mr. Reep asserts eight causes of action for breach of contract,
breach of an oral agreement, negligent misrepresentation, interference with
prospective business advantages, defamation, fraud, accounting and constructive
trust, and unjust enrichment.  The relief sought includes declaratory
relief, unspecified compensatory damages, unpaid salary, unspecified penalties
under the California Labor Code, interest, and attorneys’ fees.  We
successfully moved the court to indefinitely stay all proceedings in this matter
in light of a forum selection clause designating Nevada state courts as the
proper forum.  We then agreed with Reep to consolidate this action
with another matter pending in Los Angeles County Superior Court, captioned
Applied DNA Sciences, Inc. v. Paul Reep, Case No. BC367661.  Once this
matter was consolidated with our affirmative lawsuit against Reep, we filed a
demurrer to the first amended complaint.  That demurrer resulted in
several causes of action being dismissed.  Reep then filed a Second
Amended Complaint which asserts claims for breach of contract, declaratory
relief, wrongful termination and defamation.  We answered the Second
Amended Complaint in November 2007 and denied all of the material
allegations.  The trial in this matter is currently set for July
2008.  We intend to vigorously defend against the claims asserted
against us.
  Applied
DNA Sciences, Inc. v. Paul Reep et al. (Los Angeles County Superior Court Case
No. BC 367661):
  We filed
this action against the defendants, Paul Reep, Adrian Butash, John Barnett,
Chanty Cheang, Jaime Cardona, Peter Brocklesby, Cheri Lu Brocklesby and Angela
Wiggins on or about March 9, 2007.  In this matter, we have asked the
court to make a judicial determination that the defendants were unjustly
enriched and breached fiduciary duties owed to the
company.  Specifically, we maintain that Reep and others knowingly
accepted 1 million shares of unrestricted company stock even though they knew
the stock the Board of Directors had not approved the issuance and Peter
Brocklesby could not authorize such an issuance without board
approval.  We have resolved our claims against all of the defendants
except Reep and the Brocklesbys.  After the resolution of the claims
involving the other defendants, we agreed with Reep that this case should be
consolidated with Paul Reep v. Applied DNA Sciences, Inc. et al, Los Angeles
Superior Court Case No. BC345702.  The trial in the consolidated
matter is currently set for April 2008.  We intend to vigorously
prosecute our claims against Reep.
  Douglas
A. Falkner v. Applied DNA Sciences, Inc./N.C. Industrial Commission File No.
585698
  Plaintiff
Douglas Falkner ("Falkner") filed a worker’s compensation claim in North
Carolina for an alleged work-related neck injury that he alleges occurred on
January 14, 2004.  Falkner worked as Business Development and
Operations Manager at our sole East Coast office at the time of the alleged
injury.   Plaintiff Falkner was the only employee employed by us
in North Carolina at the time of the alleged injury and we have employed no
other employees in North Carolina at any other time.  The claim has
been denied and is being defended on several grounds, including the lack of both
personal and subject matter jurisdiction.  Specifically, we contend
that we did not employ the requisite minimum number of employees in North
Carolina at the time of the alleged injury and that the company is therefore not
subject to the North Carolina Workers' Compensation Act.   The
claim was originally set for hearing in January 2007, but was continued to allow
the parties to engage in further discovery.

A. Falkner v. Applied DNA Sciences, Inc. (Los Angeles County Superior Court Case
No. BC 386557):
  Falkner
commenced this action asserting counts for breach of contract under his
employment agreements dated March 10, 2003 and June 16, 2003 and wrongful
discharge in violation of public policy.  The relief sought includes
unspecified compensatory damages, unspecified exemplary and punitive damages,
and attorneys’ fees.  This matter is in the early stages of
discovery.  We intend to vigorously defend against the claims asserted
against us.

  Intervex,
Inc. v. Applied DNA Sciences, Inc. (Supreme Court of the State of New York Index
No.08-601219)
  Intervex,
Inc., or Intervex, the plaintiff, filed a complaint on or about April 23, 2008
related to a claim for breach of contract.  In March 2005, we entered
into a consulting agreement with Intervex, which provided for, among other
things, a payment of $6,000 per month for a period of 24 months, or an aggregate
of $144,000.  In addition, the consulting agreement provided for the
issuance by us to Intervex of a five-year warrant to purchase 250,000 shares of
our common stock with an exercise price of $.75.  Intervex asserts
that we owe it 17 payments of $6,000, or an aggregate of $102,000, plus accrued
interest thereon, and a warrant to purchase 250,000 shares of our common
stock.  This matter is in the early stages.  We intend to
vigorously defend against the claims asserted against us.

2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
  Sales
of Unregistered Securities
  In the
fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2008, we sold seven units at a price of $100,000
per unit for sale to “accredited investors,” as defined in regulations
promulgated under the Securities Act, for aggregate gross proceeds of
$700,000.  Each unit consists of (i) a $100,000 Principal Amount 10%
Secured Convertible Promissory Note and (ii) a warrant to purchase 200,000
shares of our common stock.  The promissory notes and accrued but
unpaid interest thereon automatically convert one year after issuance at a
conversion price equal to a discount to the average volume, weighted average
price of our common stock for the ten trading days prior to issuance, and are
convertible into shares of our common stock at the option of the holder at any
time prior to such automatic conversion at a price equal to the greater of (i)
50% of the average price of our common stock for the ten trading days prior to
the date of the notice of conversion and (ii) the automatic conversion
price.  In addition, any time prior to conversion, we have the
irrevocable right to repay the unpaid principal and accrued but unpaid interest
under the notes on three days notice.  The promissory notes bear
interest at the rate of 10% per annum and are due and payable in full on the one
year anniversary of their issuance.  The warrants are exercisable for
cash or on a cashless basis for a period of four years commencing one year after
issuance at a price of $0.50 per share.  Each warrant may be redeemed
at our option at a redemption price of $0.01 upon the earlier of (i) three years
after the issuance, and (ii) the date our common stock has traded on The Over
the Counter Bulletin Board at or above $1.00 per share for 20 consecutive
trading days.
  In
conjunction with the private placement of the units, we paid an aggregate of
$115,000 to the placement agent.
  We claim
an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act for the
private placement of the units pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act
because each of the units was made in a sale by the issuer not involving a
public offering.
  For
additional information concerning our sales of unregistered securities during
the period covered by this report, please refer to Note D to our Consolidated
Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this report, which is incorporated
herein by reference.
