SUMMARY
OVERVIEW
Milestone Scientific Inc. is athe world leader in advanced subcutaneous injection
technology for
dental and medical applications.technology. Its principal product, CompuDent,CompuDent(R), a computer controlled,
precision metered, local anesthetic injection system together with
its ergonomically designed, single patient use, disposable handpiece, The Wand,(the "CompuDent"), enables
a dentist to consistently administer safe, effective and less painfulpainless injections.
Since January 1998, Milestone has sold more than 24,000 CompuDent units and over 16 million single use handpiecesis a revolutionary device, considered one of the major advances in
dentistry of the United States and in over
25 other countries. CompuDenttwentieth century. It has been favorably evaluated in
18approximately 50 peer reviewed publishedor independent clinical studies and over 25 other evaluative articles.research reports. In 2004
the CompuDent was prominently featured in the leading textbook on dental
anesthesia, the "Handbook of Local Anesthesia" by Stanley F. Malamed, DDS.(1)
CompuDent, including its ergonomically designed single use hand-piece The
systemWand(R), ( "The Wand"), provides these specificnumerous, well documented benefits:
o CompuDent minimizes the pain associated with palatal, mandibular block
and other injections, resulting in a more comfortable injection
experience for the patient;
o the pencil grip used with CompuDent's handpieces provides enhancedThe Wand handpiece allows unprecedented
tactile sense and more accurate control;
o new injections made possible with the CompuDent technology eliminate
collateral numbness of the tongue, lips and facial muscles;
o bidirectionalbi-directional rotation of The Wand handpiece resultseliminates needle
deflection resulting in greater precisionsuccess and more rapid onset of
anesthesia by eliminating needle
deflection in mandibular block injections;
o the use of a single patient use, disposable handpiece minimizes the
risk of cross contamination;
o the ergonomic design of The Wand handpiece makes an injection easier
and less stressful to administer, and lowerslowering the risk of carpal tunnel
syndromesyndrome;
o reduces tissue tearing and necrosis and results in less post-operative
or post-procedure pain, but is awaiting further clinical evidence
before publicly making these claims.
OTHER PRODUCTS AND TECHNOLOGIES
To enhance its role as the world leader in advanced injection technology,
Milestone has developed the following array of other technologically advanced
products for the delivery of local anesthetics and liquid medicaments.
CompuMed
Milestone developed and in 2001 began limited marketing of "CompuMed(R)", a
computer controlled injection system geared to the dentist or hygienist;needs of the medical market
and oproviding benefits similar to the CompuDent. CompuMed allows many medical
procedures, now requiring IV sedation, to be performed with only local
anesthesia because of the dramatic pain reduction. Also, dosages of local
- --------------
(1) Dr. Malamed is widely recognized as the preeminent authority on dental
anesthesia. New editions of his "Handbook of Local Anesthesia" are published
once every seven years and are used in all major U.S. and many foreign dental
schools. It is the largest selling textbook in dental anesthesia and is the
third largest selling dental textbook. The current edition recommends use of the
CompuDent and devotes 62 paragraphs to the device and its application. Milestone
understands that this is the first instance in which Dr. Malamed's text has
recommended a particular device.

anesthetic can increase productivityoften be significantly reduced, thus reducing side effects,
accelerating recovery times, lowering costs and eliminating complications.
CompuMed is now gaining growing clinical evidence showing benefits from use in
many dentalcolorectal surgery, podiatry, dermatology, including surgery for the removal of
basal cell carcinomas and other oncological dermatologic procedures, by
eliminatingnasal and
sinus surgery, including rhinoplasty, hair transplantation and plastic surgery.
SafetyWand
Following adoption of the need for preliminary pain blocking injections,Federal Needlestick Safety and reducing the waiting time required to see if the injection has taken
effect.
SAFETYWAND
InPrevention Act
Milestone developed, and in September 2003 Milestone receivedthe FDA approval for a newly developed
and patentedapproved marketing of,
Milestone's The SafetyWand(TM) ("SafetyWand") disposable handpiece, the SafetyWanda patented
injection device that incorporates safety engineeredengineering sharps protection features
to aid in the prevention of inadvertent
needlesticks. The SafetyWand was designedis the first patented
injection device to conform with the regulations of the
Occupational Safety and Health Administration of the U.S. Department of Labor
("OSHA") promulgated under the federal Needlestick Safety and Prevention Act
("the Needlestick Safety Act"), while also meeting the clinical needs of
dentists, however, no independent evaluation confirms that the SafetyWand
conforms to these regulations. To date, these OSHA regulations have generally
not been enforced against dentists by OSHA and similar local and state
authorities due to lack of commercially available products that meet the special
needs of dentistry. Milestone believes that the commercial availability of the
SafetyWand will enable OSHA, and similar local and state authorities, to begin
enforcement, or stricter enforcement, of the Needlestick Safety Act against
dentists. Since the SafetyWand can only be used with the CompuDent system,
enforcement by OSHA could promote
8
increased handpiece sales to current CompuDent users, while also providing
impetus for the purchase of these systems by new users. In October 2003, we
launched the SafetyWand at the American Dental Association Annual Meeting in
California. Once the SafetyWand becomes available in commercial quantities, it
will compete with other safety engineered products in the medical market and
against a single product claiming to befully compliant with OSHA regulations under the federal
Needlestick Safety Act while meeting the clinical needs of dentists.
While safety injection devices have been mandated since 2000 under federal
law, OSHA had been unable to enforce this law against dentists because of the
inadequacy of existing devices to meet both the requirements of the law and the
clinical needs of dentists. The SafetyWand meets these requirements and provides
dental practitioners with a safer retractable needle device, with single hand
activation, which is reusable multiple times during a single patient visit, yet
small and sleek enough not to obscure the dentist's sometimes limited field of
view. Since SafetyWand is now available commercially, OSHA has begun to enforce
existing regulations requiring the use of safety engineered devices. OSHA is
empowered to levy substantial fines for failure to use these devices.
CompuFlo
CompuFlo(TM) ("CompuFlo"), developed by Milestone, is a revolutionary new
technology for injections. CompuFlo enables health care practitioners to monitor
and precisely control "pressure", "rate" and "volume" during all injections and
can be used to inject all liquid medicaments as well as anesthetics. CompuFlo
can also be used to aspirate body fluids.
In September 2004, Milestone Scientific was issued United States Patent No.
6,786,885 (date of issue September 14, 2004) on CompuFlo technology, entitled
"Pressure/Force Computer Controlled Drug Delivery System with Exit Pressure.
Proprietary software working with an innovative technology allows the system to
continuously monitor and control the exit pressure of fluid and/or medication
during an injection. This same technology also enables doctors to accurately
identify different tissue types based on exit pressure during an injection. The
technology appears to have many applications in both medicine and dentistry
including epidural injections. In December 2004, the United States Patent Office
issued a "Notice of Allowance" for patent protection on two additional critical
elements of the CompuFlo automated drug delivery technology: "Drug Delivery
System with Profiles" and "Pressure/Force Computer Controlled Drug Delivery with
Automated Charging". The first of these two additional technologies standardizes
and simplifies the drug delivery process, while the second provides the means to
deliver any volume of medication or infused fluid, such as a saline solution,
into the human body.
Epidurals. In 2004, successful results of two independent pilot clinical
studies confirmed the efficacy of the CompuFlo pressure/force computer
controlled anesthetic delivery system in identifying the epidural space.
Identifying when a hypodermic needle has entered the epidural space is a
critically
9
important factor in the safety and effectiveness of anesthetic injections
administered during childbirth and in the course of pain management therapy. A
report on the results of the study, conducted through the University of Texas
Health Science Center at Houston under the guidance of Dr. Oscar Ghelber,
Assistant Professor of Anesthesiology, was presented at the Society for
Technology in Anesthesia (STA) meeting on October 28th, 2004. Proper and
consistent identification of the epidural space represents a critical step
towards the adoption of Milestone's technology for the administration of
epidural anesthesia.
---------------
In addition to products enhancing its position in advanced injection
technology, in 2004 Milestone acquired rights to a proprietary dental
enhancement system now named the CoolBlue Wand(TM) ("CoolBlue Wand").
CoolBlue Wand Dental Enhancement System
The CoolBlue Wand dental enhancement system uses blue light emitting diodes
for fast curing of dental composite material, trans-illumination of teeth and
activation of whitening gels and pastes. Initially Milestone viewed the CoolBlue
Wand as an aid to its sales force in gaining access to dental offices for sales
of CompuDent. However, in view of the burgeoning consumer demand for tooth
whitening, Milestone has developed a professional in-office tooth whitening
product that will also provide access to the consumer tooth whitening market.
CoolBlue(TM) Tooth Whitening System ("CoolBlue")
The CoolBlue Tooth Whitening system is a professional whitening system
marketed directly to dental offices. The technique used with this system is
differentiated from the competition in the following manner.
1. It uses blue Light Emitting Diodes (LED), rather than a high intensity
plasma arc light, to accelerate the whitening process.
2. In contrast to currently available methods, it requires a minimum
amount of time in the dental market.chair, as the teeth are illuminated for
only ten seconds which is enough to begin the whitening process.
3. The patient goes home with our proprietary whitening rinse, which, by
contrast to more expensive methods currently available, does not
require custom trays, again reducing the time in the dentist's office.
This method has advantages for both the dentist and patient, as it involves
less chair time and lower costs.
We believe that the sales initiative for this product will enable us to
access an expanded number of dental offices, thereby providing an opening to
sell our core product - the CompuDent system. We began limited marketing of the
CoolBlue Tooth Whitening system in the third quarter of 2005.
10
Ionic White(TM) Tooth Whitening system ("Ionic White")
Ionic White Tooth Whitening system is a consumer product designed to whiten
and brighten teeth. This product uses a proprietary formulation of whitening
gels in conjunction with an intra-oral mouthpiece which contains a series of
blue LEDs used to accelerate the whitening process. There are patents pending in
the US and internationally on both the design and method of this product. Ionic
White was launched via television infomercials in March, 2005.
o This product differs from other over the counter (OTC) consumer
products in a number of ways. It allows whitening gels to enter the
dentin tubules for superior whitening. It whitens the top, bottom,
front and back of the teeth, whereas typical OTC products whiten only
the front of the teeth. The initial process takes only 21 minutes, and
the customer may maintain brightness because the system includes a
proprietary whitening rinse, which when used with the intra-oral
mouthpiece, maintains white, bright teeth.
NEW MARKETING APPROACH
Throughout 2004, Milestone continued building a national sales force of
highly trained independent representatives to provide sales coverage in urban
areas in 16 states.
To increase its ability to retain this sales force and to
enhance its performance, Milestone:
o increased its base price of CompuDent to new customers to provide
sufficient gross profit to recruit and adequately compensate its sales
force;
o established a sales support staff to generate leads, set appointments,
provide technical support and customer service and foster increased
handpiece use; and
o began distributing a new product used in repairing teeth, the CoolBlue
Wand, to assist its sales force in gaining access to dental offices
for sales of CompuDent.
Milestone's sales force currently includes fourthree full time sales managers,
6
full time18 inside sales representatives, 3 sales support staffrepresentatives and 148
independent outside sales representatives. With a growing new sales force
and the acquisition of rights to new products to facilitate access to
dental offices, Milestone intends to direct its marketing efforts to
capturing new customers, particularly from specialty practitioners,
including periodontists, pedodontists, endodontists and
cosmetic/restorative dentists.
OTHER PRODUCTS AND TECHNOLOGIES
To broaden the use of its anesthetic injection technology, in 2001
Milestone launched CompuMed,CORPORATE INFORMATION
On December 10, 2004 we purchased a system similar to CompuDent, for the medical
market. To date, sales and marketing of CompuMed have been limited by financial
constraints. Milestone is currently seeking distribution partners19.9% interest in a variety
of discrete medical disciplines.
Milestone has also developed CompuFlo, a prototype product embodying an
advanced pressure sensing technology for subcutaneous injection of liquid
medications and local anesthetics. CompuFlo enables health care practitioners to
monitor and precisely control pressure, rate and volume during subcutaneous
injections. Due to cash constraints, to date Milestone has conducted only
limited research as to potential medical applications for thisGerman wholesale
distributorship that sells dental products including our CompuDent technology
and has not yet begun development of commercial devices embodying this technology.
Recently, a major medical center has commenced two clinical pilot studies usingCoolBlue product lines in Germany, the CompuFlo pressure sensing technology. The first study is to evaluate
identification of the epidural space during epidural anesthesia commonly used
for postoperative pain management and pain relief during childbirth. The second
study is designed to determine whether measuring and controlling injection
pressures of local anesthetics may aid in reducing the risk of peripheral nerve
injury while increasing patient safety. No assurances can be given that these
clinical studies will prove CompuFlo efficacious for these purposes. No products
have yet been designed using the CompuFlo technology, FDA marketing approval has
not been obtained and no historical revenues have been generated from sale of
devices embodying the CompuFlo technology.

RISK FACTORS
The securities offered by the selling stockholders involve a high degree of risk
and should only be purchased by persons who can afford to lose their entire
investment. Prospective purchasers should carefully consider, among other
things, the following risk factors and the other information in this prospectus,
including our financial statements and the notes to those statements, prior to
making an investment decision.
WE HAVE NO HISTORY OF PROFITABLE OPERATIONS. CONTINUING LOSSES COULD EXHAUST OUR
CAPITAL RESOURCES AND FORCE US TO DISCONTINUE OPERATIONS.We have no history of profitable operations. Continuing losses could exhaust our
capital resources and force us to discontinue operations.
Although our operations commenced in November 1995, until 1998 we had
limited revenues. For the years ended December 31, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003,
and 2003,2004, our revenues were approximately $8.8 million, $2.9 million, $5.7 million, $4.1
million, $4.1 million, $4.0 million, and 4.0$4.8 million, respectively. In
addition, we have had losses for each year since the commencement of operations,
including net losses of approximately $2.4 million and $3 million for 20022003 and
for 2003.2004, respectively. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2005, we had
revenues of approximately $4.95 million and a net loss of approximately $2.28
million. At December 31,
2003,September 30, 2005, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately
$44.2$49.48 million. Unless we can significantly increase sales of our CompuDent
units, handpieces or other injection devices, we expect to incur losses for the
foreseeable future.
WE CANNOT BECOME SUCCESSFUL UNLESS WE GAIN GREATER MARKET ACCEPTANCE FOR OUR
PRODUCTS AND TECHNOLOGY.We cannot become successful unless we gain greater market acceptance for our
products and technology.
As with any new technology, there is substantial risk that the marketplace
will not accept the potential benefits of this technology or be unwilling to pay
for any cost differential with the existing technologies. Market acceptance of
CompuDent, the SafetyWand, CompuMed and CompuFlo depends, in large part, upon
our ability to educate potential customers of their distinctive characteristics
and benefits and will require substantial marketing efforts and expense. More
than 24,00026,000 units of the CompuDent or its predecessors have been sold worldwide
since 1998. Sales of disposable handpieces in 20032004 reflect a moderate increase
in the world wide usage of our dental and medical systems. We cannot assure you
that our current or proposed products will be accepted by practitioners or that
any of the current or proposed products will be able to compete effectively
against current and alternative products.
OUR LIMITED DISTRIBUTION CHANNELS MUST BE EXPANDED FOR US TO BECOME SUCCESSFUL.Our limited distribution channels must be expanded for us to become successful.
Our future revenues depend on our ability to market and distribute our
anesthetic injection technology successfully. In the United States, we rely on a
limited number of independent representatives and in-house sales people. Abroad,
we lack distributors in many markets. To be successful we will need to hire and
retain additional sales personnel, provide for their proper training and ensure
adequate customer support. We cannot assure you that we will be able to hire and
retain an adequate sales force or engage suitable distributors, or that our
sales force or distributors will be able to successfully market and sell our
products.
1112
WE DEPEND ON TWO PRINCIPAL MANUFACTURERS. IF WE CANNOT MAINTAIN OUR EXISTING
RELATIONSHIPS OR DEVELOP NEW ONES, WE MAY HAVE TO CEASE OUR OPERATIONS.We depend on two principal manufacturers. If we cannot maintain our existing
relationships or develop new ones, we may have to cease our operations.
We have informal arrangements with the manufacturer of our CompuDent and
CompuMed units and the principal manufacturer of our handpieces for those units
pursuant to which they manufacture these products under specific purchase orders
but without any long-term contract or minimum purchase commitment. We have been
supplied by these manufacturers since the commencement of production in 1998.
However, termination of the manufacturing relationship with any of these
manufacturers could significantly and adversely affect our ability to produce
and sell our products. Though we have established an alternate source of supply
for our handpieces in China and other alternate sources of supply exist, we
would need to recover our existing tools or have new tools produced to establish
relationships with new suppliers. Establishing new manufacturing relationships
could involve significant expense and delay. Any curtailment or interruptions of
the supply, whether or not as a result or termination of the relationship, would
adversely affect us.
WE MAY BE SUBJECT TO PRODUCT LIABILITY CLAIMS THAT ARE NOT FULLY COVERED BY OUR
INSURANCE AND THAT COULD PUT US UNDER A TREMENDOUS FINANCIAL STRAIN.We may be subject to product liability claims that are not fully covered by our
insurance and that could put us under a tremendous financial strain.
We could be subject to claims for personal injury from the alleged
malfunction or misuse of our dental and medical products. While we carry
liability insurance that we believe is adequate, we cannot assure you that the
insurance coverage will be sufficient to pay such claims should they be
successful. A partially or completely uninsured claim, if successful and of
significant magnitude, could have a material adverse effect on us.
WE RELY ON THE CONTINUING SERVICES OF OUR CHAIRMAN AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER,
PRESIDENT AND DIRECTOR OF CLINICAL AFFAIRS.We rely on the continuing services of our chairman and chief executive officer,
president and director of clinical affairs.
We depend on the personal efforts and abilities of our Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer, our President who was promoted to this position from that of
Senior Vice President in September 2003, and our Director of Clinical Affairs.
We maintain a key man life insurance policy in the amount of $1,000,000 on the
life of our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. However, the loss of his
services or the services of each of our President or Director of Clinical
Affairs, on whom we maintain no insurance, could have a materially adverse
effect on our business.
THE MARKET PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK HAS BEEN VOLATILE AND MAY CONTINUE TO
FLUCTUATE SIGNIFICANTLY BECAUSE OF VARIOUS FACTORS, SOME OF WHICH ARE BEYOND OUR
CONTROL.The market price of our common stock has been volatile and may continue to
fluctuate significantly because of various factors, some of which are beyond our
control.
Our stock price has been extremely volatile, fluctuating over the last
three years between closing prices of $.42 and $7.77. These fluctuations have
been unrelated to or disproportionately affected by our operating performance.
The market price of our common shares could continue to fluctuate significantly
after this offering in response to a variety of factors, some of which may be beyond our control.
THE EXISTENCE OF OUTSTANDING OPTIONS, WARRANTS AND CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES MAY
PRECLUDE US FROM OBTAINING ADDITIONAL EQUITY FINANCING.
We currently haveThe existence of outstanding options, warrants and convertible debenturessecurities may
preclude us from obtaining additional equity financing.
As of September 30, 2005, we had outstanding options, warrants and series A
convertible preferred stock to purchase 3,304,9913,517,809 shares of our common stock at
prices ranging from $.87 to $ 9.00$7.50 per share with a weighted average exercise or
conversion price of $ 4.59.$4.81. Holders of these warrants and options are given the
opportunity to profit from a rise in the market price of our common stock and
are likely to exercise their securities at a time when we would be able to
obtain additional equity capital on 12
more favorable
13
terms. Thus, the terms upon which we will be able to obtain additional equity
capital may be adversely affected, since the holders of outstanding options and
warrants can be expected to exercise them at a time when we would, in all
likelihood, be able to obtain any needed capital on terms more favorable to us
than the exercise terms provided by such outstanding securities.
We have granted registration rights with respect to sharesare controlled by a limited number of our common stock
covered by the warrants. The market price of our common shares has been volatile
and may continue to fluctuate significantly because of various factors, some of
which are beyond our control.
WE ARE CONTROLLED BY A LIMITED NUMBER OF SHAREHOLDERS.shareholders.
Our principal shareholders, Leonard Osser and K. Tucker Andersen, own
31.6%27.74% of the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock. As a result,
they have the ability to exercise substantial control over our affairs and
corporate actions requiring shareholder approval, including electing directors,
selling all or substantially all of our assets, merging with another entity or
amending our certificate of incorporation. This de facto control could delay,
deter or prevent a change in control and could adversely affect the price that
investors might be willing to pay in the future for our securities.
FUTURE SALES OR THE POTENTIAL FOR SALE OF A SUBSTANTIAL NUMBER OF SHARES OF OUR
COMMON STOCK COULD CAUSE THE TRADING PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK AND WARRANTS TO
DECLINE AND COULD IMPAIR OUR ABILITY TO RAISE CAPITAL THROUGH SUBSEQUENT EQUITY
OFFERINGS.Future sales or the potential for sale of a substantial number of shares of our
common stock could cause the trading price of our common stock and warrants to
decline and could impair our ability to raise capital through subsequent equity
offerings.
Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public
markets, or the perception that these sales may occur, could cause the market
price of our stock to decline and could materially impair our ability to raise
capital through the sale of additional equity securities. Currently, thereAs of September 30,
2005, we had outstanding options, warrants and Series A convertible preferred
stock to purchase 3,517,809 shares of our common stock at prices ranging from
$.87 to $7.50 per share with a weighted average exercise or conversion price of
$4.81. Holders of these warrants and options are 9,734,676given the opportunity to profit
from a rise in the market price of our common stock and are likely to exercise
their securities at a time when we would be able to obtain additional equity
capital on more favorable terms. Thus, the terms upon which we will be able to
obtain additional equity capital may be adversely affected, since the holders of
outstanding options and warrants can be expected to exercise them at a time when
we would, in all likelihood, be able to obtain any needed capital on terms more
favorable to us than the exercise terms provided by such outstanding securities.
The market price of our common shares has been volatile and may continue to
fluctuate significantly because of various factors, some of which are beyond our
control. As of September 30, 2005, we had 11,466,024 shares of common stock
actually issued and 9,701,34311,432,691 outstanding. Also, there are 3,931,958were another 5,301,957

o and
o 4,390 shares of common stock underlying our series A convertible
preferred stock.
We have 9,701,343As of September 30, 2005, we had 11,432,691 shares of common stock
outstanding, of which 5,779,9295,827,834 are freely
13
tradable. The remaining 3,921,414 shares5,604,857 are
either held by "affiliates", as defined by the rules and regulations promulgated
under the Securities Act of 1933, or are "restricted securities" as defined in
Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933. Of this amount, 139,6321,895,997
restricted shares not held by affiliates and 3,720,4323,708,860 restricted or
non-restricted shares held by "affiliates," can only be sold in compliance with
the timing and volume limitations of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities
Act of 1933.
The other
61,350 restricted shares may be sold without limitation under Rule 144(k).
The decrease of our outstanding shares as a result of a reverse stock
split, without change to our authorized capitalization, increased the ability of
our board of directors to issue shares without stockholder approval. Issuance of
shares may dilute the value of our outstanding shares or have a negative impact
on the trading price of the common stock.
The 1-for-3 stock split effected in January 2004, after due authorization
by our shareholders, reduced our outstanding shares from 18,338,033 to 6,112,678
(9,663,907 shares after giving effect to the consummation of the public offering
and related issuances of units). Since the reverse stock split was effected
without change in our authorized shares, the differential between outstanding
shares and authorized shares increased, thus providing the Board of Directors
with increased ability to effect issuances of stock without stockholder
authorization. For example, shares may be issued in capital raising
transactions, mergers or acquisitions or for compensatory reasons where other
governing rules or statutes do not separately require stockholder approval. The
issuance of these shares for less than their book value or for less than value
paid by purchasers in the recently completed offeringofferings could have a dilutive effect
on purchasers in recently completed offerings and this offering. Further the
issuance of the shares could also have a negative impact on the trading price of
our then outstanding common stock, including the stock issued in the recently
completed offerings and the stock offered for resale in this offering.
Implementation of procedures to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and SEC rules
concerning internal controls may be so costly that compliance could have an
adverse effect on us.
We must comply with Sarbanes-Oxley requirements requiring a management
report on internal control over financial reporting disclosure requirements in
our annual report for our financial year ending December 31, 2007. It may be
time-consuming, costly and difficult for us to develop and implement the
necessary internal controls and reporting procedures, possibly requiring us to
hire additional personnel. These additional costs could have an adverse effect
on our profitability.

SELLING SECURITY HOLDERS
The following table sets forth the information as to the ownership of our
securities by the selling stockholders on August 31, 2004.September 28, 2005. On August 31, 2004,
9,701,343September 28,

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
Sales of the shares of our common stock or the warrants to purchase our
common stock, covered by this prospectus, may be effected from time to time in
transactions (which may include block transactions) on the American Stock
Exchange (or other markets on which shares of our common stock are then traded),
in negotiated transactions, through put or call option transactions relating to
the shares, through short sales of shares, or a combination of such methods of
sale, at fixed prices which may be changed, at market prices prevailing at the
time of sale, or at negotiated prices. None of the selling stockholders has
entered into agreements, understandings or arrangements with any underwriters or
19
broker-dealers regarding the sale of their shares. The selling stockholders may
effect transactions by selling their shares directly to purchasers or through
broker-dealers, who may act as agents or principals. Such broker-dealers may
receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions, or commissions from
the selling stockholders and/or the purchasers of the shares for whom such
broker-dealers may act
24
as agents, or to whom they sell as principal, or both (which compensation as to
a particular broker-dealer might be in excess of customary commissions). The
selling stockholders and any broker-dealers who act in connection with the sale
of the shares might be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of Section
2(11) of the Securities Act of 1933 and any commissions received by such
broker-dealers and any profit on the resale of the shares sold by them while
acting as principals might be deemed to be underwriting discounts or commissions
under the Securities Act. We have agreed to indemnify each selling stockholder
against a number of liabilities, including liabilities arising under the
Securities Act. The selling stockholders may agree to indemnify any agent,
dealer or broker-dealer who participates in transactions involving sales of the
securities against the liabilities, including liabilities arising under the
Securities Act. As used herein, "selling stockholders" includes donees and
pledgees selling shares received from a named selling stockholder after the date
of this prospectus.
Selling stockholders also may resell all or a portion of the shares in open
market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities Act, provided
that they meet the criteria and conform to the requirements of such Rule.
We have agreed to use best efforts to keep the registration statement, of
which this prospectus is a part, effective until all the shares covered by this
prospectus are sold or can be sold freely under an appropriate exemption from
the securities laws of the United States and the states, without limitation.
In order to comply with the applicable state securities laws, the shares
covered by this prospectus will be offered or sold through registered or
licensed brokers or dealers in those states. In addition, in a number of states
the shares may not be offered or sold unless they have been registered or
qualified for sale in such states, or an exemption from such registration or
qualification requirement is available and such offering or sale is in
compliance therewith.
Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person
engaged in a distribution of the shares may not simultaneously engage in market
making activities with respect to such securities for a period beginning when
such person becomes a distribution participant and ending upon such person's
completion of participation in a distribution, including stabilization
activities in the common stock to effect syndicate covering transactions, to
impose penalty bids or to effect passive market making bids. In addition, the
selling stockholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange
Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including, without limitation,
Rule 10b-5 and, insofar as the selling stockholders are distribution
participants, Regulation M and Rules 100, 101, 102, 103, 104 and 105 thereof,
all of which may affect the marketability of the shares covered by this
prospectus.

LIMITATION OF DIRECTORS' LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION
Our certificate of incorporation provides that a director will not be
personally liable to us or to our stockholders for monetary damages for breach
of the fiduciary duty of care as a director, including breaches which constitute
gross negligence. This provision does not eliminate or limit the liability of a
director:
o for breach of his or her duty of loyalty to us or to our stockholders;
o for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional
misconduct or a knowing violation of law;
o under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (relating to
unlawful payments or dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or
redemptions);
o for any improper benefit; or
o for breaches of a director's responsibilities under the federal
securities laws.
Our certificate of incorporation also provides that we indemnify and
hold harmless each of our directors and officers to the fullest extent
authorized by the Delaware General Corporation Law, against all expense,
liability and loss (including attorney's fees, judgments, fines, ERISA
excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement)
reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection therewith.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons pursuant to our Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws and the
Delaware General Corporation Law, we have been advised that in the opinion
of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against
public policy and is, therefore, unenforceable.

(iii) include any additional or changed material information on
the plan of distribution.
(2) For determining liability under the Securities Act, treat each
post-effective amendment as a new registration statement relating to the
securities then being offered, and the offering of Such securities at that
time shall be deemed to be the initial bonafide offering of such
securities.
(3) To file a post-effective amendment to remove from registration any
of the securities that remain unsold at the end of the offering.
(4) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities
Act, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section
13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where
applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report
pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is
incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to
be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein,
and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the
initial bona fide offering thereof.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant
has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable.
