The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2013 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments (including normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation for the periods presented have been reflected as required by Regulation S-X, Rule 10-01. The unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year. These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.  Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Loss per Common Share Basic and diluted loss per common share for all periods presented is calculated based on the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. The following potentially dilutive securities were outstanding as of June 30, 2013 and 2012 and were not included in the computation of dilutive loss per common share because the effect would have been anti-dilutive (in thousands): <table id="TBL1893" style="width: 90%;

Reclassification During the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company revised its allocation method for the expenses of its MFS subsidiary between Research and Development (“R&D”) expenses and Selling, General and Administrative (“SGA”) expenses.  As a result, the Company has made reclassification of such expenses in its quarterly reporting for 2011 (not presented herein) and 2012 increasing R&D and decreasing SGA. The three-month expense amounts as reported in the Company’s Forms 10-Q, for the quarters ended September 30, 2012, June 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012 were changed by approximately $150,000, $140,000 and $135,000, respectively.   There was no impact on the Company’s operating loss, balance sheet or cash flow statements in any period. Additionally, certain items previously reported in the consolidated financial statement captions have been reclassified to conform to the current financial statement presentation. falsefalsefalsenonnum:textBlockItemTypenaThe entire disclosure for all significant accounting policies of the reporting entity.Reference 1: http://www.xbrl.org/2003/role/presentationRef -Publisher FASB -Name Accounting Standards Codification -Topic 235 -SubTopic 10 -Section 50 -Paragraph 3 -URI http://asc.fasb.org/extlink&oid=6367646&loc=d3e18780-107790 Reference 2: http://www.xbrl.org/2003/role/presentationRef -Publisher FASB -Name Accounting Standards Codification -Topic 235 -SubTopic 10 -Section 50 -Paragraph 1 -URI http://asc.fasb.org/extlink&oid=6367646&loc=d3e18726-107790 Reference 3: http://www.xbrl.org/2003/role/presentationRef -Publisher FASB -Name Accounting Standards Codification -Topic 235 -SubTopic 10 -Section 50 -Paragraph 6 -URI http://asc.fasb.org/extlink&oid=6367646&loc=d3e18861-107790 Reference 4: http://www.xbrl.org/2003/role/presentationRef -Publisher FASB -Name Accounting Standards Codification -Topic 235 -SubTopic 10 -Section 50 -Paragraph 2 -URI http://asc.fasb.org/extlink&oid=6367646&loc=d3e18743-107790 Reference 5: http://www.xbrl.org/2003/role/presentationRef -Publisher FASB -Name Accounting Standards Codification -Topic 235 -SubTopic 10 -Section 50 -Paragraph 5 -URI http://asc.fasb.org/extlink&oid=6367646&loc=d3e18854-107790 false0Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block]falseNote 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting PoliciesUnKnownUnKnownUnKnownUnKnowntruefalsefalseSheethttp://positiveidcorp.com/role/Note2SummaryofSignificantAccountingPolicies12
