Our Company
We are engaged in the business of designing, developing, manufacturing and distributing equipment for generating and/or capturing medical and dental diagnostic images. Our products utilize electronic and radiographic technologies, as well as the chemical processing of photosensitive materials. Veterinary and industrial professionals also use our imaging products. We distribute our products in world-wide markets, under various brand names and trademarks, through a network of independent and unaffiliated dealers. Certain digital imaging products are also sold and distributed by us directly to dental professional end users.
Our principal products and services include:
• | Cone Beam CT Scanners – Three Dimensional Imaging |
Through Quantitative Radiology srl, an Italian corporation and our wholly-owned subsidiary (‘‘QR’’), we design, manufacture and distribute a dental CT scanner capable of generating and reconstructing three-dimensional images of the teeth, jaws and surrounding dental anatomy. For many clinical procedures, it is an important diagnostic improvement over historical two-dimensional film images. The system utilizes a conical shaped x-ray cone beam, also known as CBCT, that rotates around the skull and passes through the teeth, at many angles, thus creating unique, radiographic, dental information that is captured digitally. Our proprietary software then reconstructs a three-dimensional image from the data. QR has been providing this technology to world-wide markets for over ten years. The primary users are dentists, implant specialists, oral surgeons and orthodontists, as well as ear, nose and throat medical specialists. The configuration inclu des a horizontal patient table support system that assists positioning for complex cases involving the elderly, the infirm or small children. We have also introduced a vertical, standing CBCT model where a patient can be seated or standing upright during the examination. This model also provides user flexibility for smaller examination rooms. We completed the acquisition of QR on April 19, 2007.
• | Digital Dental and Large Body Digital Imaging Systems – Two Dimensional Imaging |
We manufacture, distribute and service film-less, digital radiography sensors in various image format sizes, utilizing x-rays and electronic imaging software. The equipment generates and captures two dimensional, dental x-ray images with these sensors, in place of film, and then displays them using our software. Digital radiographic systems, referred to as DR Systems (direct radiography), have practical applications in both human and companion animal diagnostics. Veterinary dentistry has become a growing and important discipline and treatment procedure.
Table of Contents
We have developed proprietary software for each application. DR systems can be either ‘‘postage stamp size,’’ larger for equine applications or in the largest format to be installed in x-ray tables for companion animal whole body examinations. The primary benefit for the professional is the improved display of diagnostic information, clinical efficiency and the flexibility of electronic radiographs for referrals and storage.
• | Dental X-Ray Systems |
We distribute digital and analog dental x-ray machines manufactured by others. We have the exclusive distribution rights in the North American markets for a well-established, European-designed, intraoral dental x-ray and a panoramic/cephalometric dental x-ray unit. The latter provides, all in one view, a full format image for the diagnosis of the entire upper and lower dental arches and jaws. These dental products can be supplied to the market with a digital, filmless x-ray sensor that is compatible with our software. Panoramic units are typically used by dentists, orthodontists, oral surgeons, and endodontists for specific patient treatment plans where three-dimensional imaging is not required. In such instances, installed equipment utilizes analog x-ray film that can be developed in our well-established line of processors.
• | Veterinary Imaging and Radiographic Table Systems |
We manufacture and distribute a line of x-ray tables and related equipment specifically designed for the veterinary marketplace. They include x-ray systems for film or digital dental radiography, a portable digital imaging system for the diagnosis of equine extremities and a large size filmless, x-ray sensor used in conjunction with general radiographic equipment. We distribute general-purpose x-ray systems and related imaging components specifically designed for veterinary applications. They are marketed under our trademark ‘‘VetTek.’’ These systems are designed to offer the user either digital or film-based image capture systems and allow the veterinarian to perform either dental or general radiography.
• | X-Ray Processors & Accessories |
We manufacture and distribute a line of medical, dental and industrial x-ray film processors. These are commonly referred to as analog film-based systems. The machines automatically process or develop x-ray films. The exposed film is inserted into the equipment and returned to the operator developed, fixed, washed and dried. The equipment can be located either in a dark room site or adapted to a daylight loading system. These analog units are used for diagnostic x-ray imaging and industrial, non-destructive testing applications. These processor products are distributed worldwide through an unaffiliated dealer network to doctors, dentists, veterinarians, hospitals, medical clinics and the U.S. government.

(a) | Upon adoption of SFAS 142 in the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2003, we recorded a one-time, non-cash charge of $1,297,069 to reduce the carrying value of goodwill. Such charge was non-operational in nature and was reflected as a cumulative effect of an accounting change. |
(b) | On May 2, 2006, we issued 2,777,777 shares of our common stock in a private placement to selected institutional and other accredited investors. The offering price was at $1.80 per share. In conjunction with the private placement, we had granted the investors certain registration rights with respect to the resale of the shares acquired. We filed a registration statement which was declared effective on July 14, 2006. If this registration statement is subsequently suspended for a specified period of time, we could be required to pay a penalty of 1% of the financing per month to the investors. Additionally, we are required to file amendments to the registration statement as necessary to keep the registration effective for 24 months from the closing date. In accordance with the provisions of FSP EITF 00-19-2, we have classified this private placement in the shareholders’ equity on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2007. At June 30, 2006, the net proceeds were classified as temporary equity in accordance with the provisions of EITF Topic D-98. We have maintained this registration statement since it was declared effective and believe that the likelihood of any future penalty payments related to this registration statement are remote. |
(c) | Includes the operating results of QR srl from April 19, 2007 to June 30, 2007. On April 19, 2007, we completed the acquisition of QR by acquiring all of the outstanding share capital of QR from the shareholders. QR is a global supplier of state-of-the-art, in-office three-dimensional dental computed tomography. QR uses an imaging technology that features a cone shaped beam of x-rays. Prior to April 19, 2007, we had acted as QR’s exclusive distributor in North and South America, excluding Brazil. |

(d) | The acquisition of QR was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting in accordance with FASB Statement No. 141, Business Combinations. The carrying values of QR’s assets and liabilities were adjusted to their fair values on April 19, 2007 and the difference between the purchase price and the fair value of the net assets and liabilities was recorded as goodwill and other intangibles. Other intangibles include technology, customer lists and non-compete contracts and are being amortized over useful lives ranging from 5-10 years. Included in the results for fiscal year 2007 is (1) a charge to expense of $3,760,000 which represents the write-off of in-process research and development acquired with the purchase of QR and (2) a charge to expense of $225,054 which represents the amortization of the intang ibles associated with the acquisition of QR. |

RISK FACTORS
The shares being offered pursuant to this prospectus are speculative and involve a high degree of risk. Only those persons able to lose their entire investment should purchase any of the shares. Prior to making an investment decision, you should carefully read the other information in this prospectus and consider, along with other matters referred to or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, the following risk factors.
Business Risks
We are dependent on a limited number of products and any material decrease in revenues from any one of these products could have an adverse impact on our revenue and financial position. Our revenues primarily are generated from sales of our digital dental sensors, three-dimensional digital Cone Beam CT scanners, panoramic and intra-oral x-ray machines, and analog processor products. We can give no assurance that any of these systems and products, or any of the other products which we currently sell or may sell in the future, will not be rendered obsolete or inferior as a result of technological change, changing customer demands, new product introductions or other developments. There also can be no assurance that our competitors will not succeed in developing or marketing technologies, systems and products that are superior to and/or more commercially attractive than our technologies, systems and products. The rendering obsolete or inferior of our technologies, systems and products could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
Further, our success will depend in part on our ability to improve and enhance our technologies, systems and products on a timely basis in comparison to our competitors. There can be no assurance that we will be able to do so. Our failure to improve and enhance any of our technologies, systems and products in a timely manner could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
A failure to adapt to technological changes within our industry could have an adverse effect on our operating results. Our success will depend on our ability to keep pace with technological developments of new products and services and our ability to fulfill increasingly sophisticated customer demands. The medical, dental and veterinary imaging equipment and service markets are characterized by rapidly changing technology and frequent introductions of new products, services and product and service enhancements, including both equipment and software modifications and upgrades. There can be no assurance that we will be able to provide the products, services and support necessary to remain competitive. If we were to incur delays in sourcing and developing new products and services or enhancements to our current lines of products and services, such delays could have a material adverse effect on our operations and financial results.
We are subject to substantial competition which could adversely affect our operating results. The markets in which we operate are highly competitive with respect to performance, quality and price. We directly compete with local, regional, national and international manufacturers and distributors of medical, dental and veterinary imaging equipment. In the future, we may face further competition from new market entrants and possible alliances between existing competitors. Some of our competitors have, or may have, greater financial, marketing and other resources than us. As a result, competitors may be able to respond more quickly to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements, benefit from greater purchasing economies, offer more aggressive hardware and service pricing to customers, or devote greater resources to the promotion of their products and services than we are capable of accomplishing. There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully compete in the future with such competitors. The failure to successfully compete could have an adverse effect on our business and operating results.
The market for professional technology services is intensely competitive, rapidly evolving and subject to rapid technological change. We expect competition not only to persist, but to increase. Competition may result in price reductions, reduced margins and loss of market share. The market for our goods and services is rapidly evolving and is subject to continuous technological change. As a result, our competitors may be better positioned to address these developments or may react more
6
Table of Contents
favorably to these changes. Existing or future competitors may develop or offer strategic services that provide significant technological, creative, performance, price or other advantages over the services that we offer.
Our growth will depend on our ability to continue to develop our brands. We believe that strengthening our brands will be critical to achieving widespread acceptance of our products and services. Promoting and positioning our brands will depend largely on the success of our marketing efforts and ability to provide high quality products and services. In order to promote our brands, we will need to increase our marketing budget and otherwise increase our financial commitment to creating and maintaining brand loyalty among our customers. Brand promotion activities may not yield increased revenues and, even if they do, any increased revenues may not offset the expenses that we incur in building our brands. If we fail to promote and maintain our brands or incur substantial expenses in an unsuccessful attempt to promote and maintain our brands, our business would be harmed.
We will be dependent on key management and advisors. Our success is highly dependent on our ability to attract and retain experienced management and industry personnel to supplement our present management team. The loss of the services or advice of any one or more of these persons, whether part of the present management or new hires, could have a material adverse effect on our business. We face considerable competition from other entities in the fields in which we operate and with other entities for qualified personnel, many of which have significantly greater resources than us. We may be unable to offer key employees compensation of the type and quantity that our competitors and other entities can offer. There can be no assurance that we will be able to attract and retain personnel in the future, and the inability to do so could have material adverse effects on us.
We are significantly dependent upon the continued availability of Donald Rabinovitch, our president and co-chief executive officer, David Vozick, our chairman and co-chief executive officer, Roberto Molteni, our executive vice-president of technology, and our new sales and marketing team recently hired to help transition the sale of our products to the final users. We currently do not have employment agreements with any of these executive officers. The loss or unavailability to us of any of Messrs. Rabinovitch, Vozick or Molteni for an extended period of time could have a material adverse effect on our business operations and prospects. To the extent that their services would be unavailable to us for any reason, we would be required to procure other personnel to manage and operate us. There can be no assurance that we will be able to locate or employ such qualified personnel on acceptable terms.
We are dependent on our key personnel and ability to recruit, train and retain technology professionals. Our current and planned operations will depend in large part on our ability to identify, hire, train and retain technology professionals and sales and senior management personnel who can provide the technical, strategic, creative, marketing and audience development skills required by our clients and for our financial success. There is a shortage of qualified personnel in these fields and we compete with other companies, both those within the industry in which we operate and those in other industries, for this limited pool of technology professionals and sales and senior management personnel. There is no assurance that we will be able to attract, train, or retain such qualified personnel.
Further, additions of new and departures of existing personnel, particularly in key positions, can be disruptive, which also could have a material adverse effect upon us, the result of which could have a negative impact on our operations and financial results.
Our dependence on third party licenses could have adverse effects. We rely on certain software, technology and products that we have licensed from third parties, including software, technologies and products that are integrated with internally developed software and/or used in our products to perform key functions. These third-party licenses may not continue to be available for use on commercially reasonable terms. Also, the licensed software, technologies and products may not be appropriately supported, maintained or enhanced by the licensors such that the license would not continue to provide the necessary commercial benefits to us. In addition, we may not be able to license additional software, technologies and products in the future on terms advantageous to us. The
7
Table of Contents
loss of or inability to obtain or replace licenses to, or inability to support, maintain and enhance, any of such licensed software, could result in increased costs, including the expense of internally developing the required software, technologies and products, as well as delays or reductions in product shipments.
There are a number of uncertainties associated with international sales that could adversely affect us. In each of our last three fiscal years, sales to customers outside of the United States exceeded 18% of our overall sales. We anticipate that international sales will continue to account for a similar portion of our overall sales revenue. International revenues are subject to a number of uncertainties, including, but not limited to:
• | contracts may be difficult to enforce and receivables difficult to collect; |
• | foreign customers and distributors may require longer payment cycles; |
• | foreign governments may impose additional withholding taxes or otherwise tax our foreign income, as well as impose tariffs or adopt other restrictions on foreign trade; |
• | fluctuations in exchange rates may affect product demand; |
• | United States export licenses may be difficult to obtain; and |
• | intellectual property rights in foreign countries may be difficult or impossible to enforce. |
Moreover, many foreign countries have their own regulatory approval requirements, including obtaining various licenses to operate in specific countries for the sale of our products. As a result, our introduction of new products into international markets could be hindered, costly and/or time-prohibited. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain the required regulatory approvals on a timely basis, if at all.
We are subject to pricing pressures and variable foreign exchange rates, which could result in lower sales revenues and gross profits. We believe our prices and payment and delivery terms are competitive. However, certain competitors may offer more aggressive pricing and payment terms to customers. We have experienced, and expect to continue to experience, pricing pressure on our products and services due to competitive factors, including industry consolidation. In addition, we have seen a general weakness in the U.S. economy negatively impacting our operating results as dental, medical and veterinary professionals reduced their capital expenditures in response to such general economic weakness. In an attempt to stimulate sales to existing and new customers, we believe that pricing pressures may increase in the future. Decreasing prices for our produc ts and services would require us to sell a greater number of products and services to achieve the same level of net sales and gross profit.
Seasonality can cause fluctuations in our revenues and operating results. We have seen seasonal variations in our revenues and operating results. Our fourth quarter results for a fiscal year have historically exceeded corresponding revenues and operating results for the first quarter of the following fiscal year. We expect our net sales and operating results to continue to reflect this seasonality. The seasonality of our operating results could result in fluctuations of the market price of our common stock.
We have had and may continue to have fluctuations in our quarterly operating results. Our quarterly operating results have and, in the future, may fluctuate significantly, depending on a variety of factors, many of which are outside of our control. Factors that may affect our quarterly results include:
• | the demand for our products and services; |
• | the size, timing and timely fulfillment of orders for our products and services; |
• | the level of product, price and service competition; |
• | changes in average selling prices and product mix, which also could affect our profit margins; |
• | changes in our sales incentive strategy, as well as sales personnel changes; |
8
Table of Contents
• | the mix of direct and indirect sales, product returns and rebates; |
• | federal, state or local government regulation; |
• | our ability to upgrade and develop our systems and infrastructure to accommodate growth; |
• | our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel; |
• | consumer trends; |
• | the success of our brand building and marketing campaigns; |
• | capital spending budgets of our customers; and |
• | general economic conditions and economic conditions specific to the industries in which we compete. |
Our operating expenses and capital expenditures are based in large part on our expectations of future revenues. Therefore, if revenue levels are below expectations, operating results are likely to be adversely affected. Net income may be disproportionately affected by an unanticipated decline in revenue for a particular quarter because a relatively small amount of our expenses will vary with our revenue in the short term. As a result, we believe that period-to-period comparisons of our results of operations are not and will not necessarily be meaningful and should not be relied upon as any indication of future performance. Due to all of the foregoing factors, it is likely that in some future quarter or quarters, our operating results will be below expectations.
We are dependent on third-party distributors and a loss of any of these distributors could adversely affect us. We distribute our products through third-party, independent distributors. Historically, a limited number of distributors have accounted for a significant portion of our overall revenues. In general, these distributors could discontinue marketing our products with little or no notice. Certain distributors also could market products which compete with our products. The loss of or significant reduction in revenues generated through one or more of our distributors could have a material adverse effect on our operating results and financial position.
We are dependant upon transitioning to selling directly to the end user in addition to selling to our existing distributor base. Our financial operations are dependant upon a successful transition. We have recently hired a new sales and marketing team to sell our products directly to doctors, dentists and other direct users of our equipment. Their success will directly affect our financial results. At this time, we cannot predict how successful this transition will be.
We are subject to the uncertainty of litigation results that could adversely impact our financial position. We are subject to a variety of legal actions relating to our business operations. Recent court decisions, legislative activity and regulatory enforcement may increase our exposure for claims by third-parties, including environmental claims. In some cases, substantial punitive damages may be sought. We currently have insurance coverage for some of these potential liabilities. Other potential liabilities may not be covered by insurance. In addition, insurers may dispute coverage or the amount of insurance may not be sufficient to cover the damages awarded. Further, certain types of damages, such as punitive damages, may not be covered by insurance and insurance coverage for all or certain forms of liability may become unavailable or prohibitively expensive in the future. An adverse outcome from a litigation matter could have a material adverse effect on us.
We are subject to regulatory and legislative risks that could adversely affect our operations. We must obtain certain approvals and marketing clearances from governmental authorities, including the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the ‘‘FDA’’) and similar health authorities in foreign countries, to market and sell our products domestically and in such foreign countries. The FDA regulates the marketing, manufacturing, labeling, packaging, advertising, sale and distribution of medical devices, as do various foreign authorities in their respective jurisdictions. The FDA also enforces additional regulations regarding the safety of equipment utilizing x-rays. Various states impose similar regulations. Certain of our manufactured and imported products and product components, including our tomogtraphy CT systems, x-ray systems and s ensors, are currently regulated by such authorities and certain of our future products will require approval or marketing clearance from such various governmental authorities, including the FDA. In addition, various additional requirements are imposed upon us to make us eligible to sell products to the federal government.

The FDA review process typically requires extended proceedings pertaining to the safety and efficacy of new products. A Section 510(k) application is required in order to market a new or modified medical device. If specifically required by the FDA, a pre-market approval may be necessary. This procedure, which must be completed prior to marketing a new medical device, is potentially expensive and time consuming. The procedure may delay or hinder a product’s timely entry into the marketplace. Moreover, there can be no assurance that the review or approval process for these products by the FDA or any other applicable governmental authorities will occur in a timely fashion, if at all, or that additional regulations will not be adopted or current regulations amended in such a manner as will adversely affect us. In addition, final approval does not assure, in any manner, the success of the approved product.
We also are subject to other federal, state and local laws, regulations and recommendations relating to safe working conditions and manufacturing practices.
International sales of our products are subject to the regulatory agency product registration requirements of each country in which our products are sold. The regulatory review process varies from country to country and may in some cases require the submission of clinical data. We typically rely upon our distributors in foreign countries to obtain the required regulatory approvals.
The extent of government regulation that might result from any future legislation or administrative action cannot be accurately predicted. Failure to comply with regulatory requirements could have a material adverse effect on our operating results and financial condition.
In addition to legislative and regulatory concerns directly affecting us, our customers operate in the health care industry, which is highly regulated. Both existing and future governmental regulations directed at our customers could adversely impact us indirectly. Further, cost-containment efforts by health maintenance organizations may adversely affect the potential market for our products.
Further, changes or increases in, or failure to comply with, regulations applicable to our business could increase our costs.
We have product warranty exposure which could adversely affect our operating results and financial condition. We generally warrant each of our products against defects in materials and workmanship for a period of one to two years from the date of shipment, plus any extended warranty period purchased by the customer and three years for our digital sensors. The need for warranty service could have a material adverse effect on us by, among other things, requiring additional expenditures for parts and personnel, as well as damaging our reputation and goodwill.
Our inability to continue to service and install our various equipment could adversely effect our operating results and financial performance. We generally service and install our three-dimensional Cone Beam CT equipment as well as install our digital dental sensors sold to the end user. Although we maintain the proper personnel and equipment to service our existing and anticipated customers, there can be no assurances that we can completely satisfy all of our customers’ requirements.
There is a potential for product recall and product liability claims. Our products may be subject to recall for unforeseen reasons. In addition, certain applications, including projected applications of our products, entail the risk of product liability claims. Such risks will exist even with respect to those products that have received, or in the future may receive, regulatory approval for commercial sale. These claims may be made by our customers, distributors or others. Although we have maintained insurance coverage related to product liability claims, no assurance can be given that product liability insurance coverage will continue to be available or, if available, that it can be obtained in sufficient amounts or at reasonable cost or that it will be sufficient to cover any claims that may arise. We do not maintain any insurance relating to potent ial recalls of our products. Costs associated with potential product recalls or product liability claims could have a material adverse effect on us.
Our inability to protect our intellectual property rights could prevent us from selling our products and hinder our financial performance. The technology and designs underlying our products may not be fully protected by patent rights. Our future success is dependent primarily on non-patented trade secrets and on the innovative skills, technological expertise and management abilities of our
10
Table of Contents
employees. Even with the patent rights in our products, our technology may not preclude or inhibit competitors from producing products that have identical performance as our products. In addition, we cannot guarantee that any protected trade secret could ultimately be proven valid if challenged. Any such challenge, with or without merit, could be time consuming to defend, result in costly litigation, divert the attention and resources of our management and, if successful, require us to pay monetary damages.
Our products may infringe the intellectual property rights of others which may cause us to incur unexpected costs or prevent us from selling our products. We believe our products do not infringe on the intellectual property rights of others. However, there can be no assurance that infringement claims will not be asserted against us in the future or that, if asserted, any infringement claim will be successfully defended. We also may be subject to legal proceedings and claims from time to time, including claims of alleged infringement of the patents, trademarks and other intellectual property rights of third parties. Intellectual property litigation is expensive and time-consuming and could divert the attention of our management away from running our business and seriously harm our business. If we were to discover that our products violated the intellec tual property rights of others, we would have to obtain licenses from these parties in order to continue marketing our products without substantial re-engineering. We might not be able to obtain the necessary licenses on acceptable terms or at all and, if we could not obtain such licenses, we might not be able to re-engineer our products successfully or in a timely fashion. If we fail to address any infringement issues timely and successfully, we would be forced to incur significant costs, including payment of damages and potential satisfaction of indemnification obligations that we have with our customers, and we could be prevented from selling certain of our products.
Price competition could reduce market share or cause us to reduce prices to retain or recapture market share, which could reduce revenues and margins. Our operations generally face intense competition in all markets. The medical, dental and veterinary imaging industries have historically experienced price competition. This price competition could result in us losing market share in some markets or force us to reduce prices and thereby our profit margins in order to retain or recapture market share. Increased price competition in the future could further reduce revenues, profit margins and backlog.
Increased advertising or better marketing by our competitors could cause us to lose market share and revenues, or cause us to incur increased costs in order to retain or recapture market share. Extensive advertising or effective marketing by competitors could cause us to lose market share and revenues, or cause us to increase our own marketing costs. In addition, competitors may change the types or mix of products or services offered. These changes may attract customers, causing us to lose market share and revenue or to incur costs to vary our own types or mix of products or services in response to such competitive factors.
If we do not respond effectively to changing consumer preferences, our market share, revenues and profitability could decrease. Our future market share, revenues and profits will depend in part on our ability to anticipate, identify and respond to changing consumer preferences of professionals who utilize medical, dental and veterinary imaging equipment. We may not correctly anticipate or identify trends in consumer preferences, or we may identify them later than our competitors do. In addition, any strategies we may implement to address these trends may prove excessively costly, incorrect or ineffective.
We are dependent upon our existing credit facility including a term loan and revolver to finance our ongoing operations. There can be no assurances that this credit line will be sufficient to properly finance all working capital requirements and to adequately finance the required expenditures for new product launches and continued product development. This could result in losing market share in some markets and a reduction in revenues.

Risks Involving Our Common Stock and Corporate Governance
There is significant volatility in our stock prices.
The market for our common stock is highly volatile. The trading price of our common stock could widely fluctuate in response to, among other things:
• | quarterly variations in our operating and financial results; |
• | announcements of technological innovations or new products by us, our vendors or our competitors; |
• | changes in prices of our or our competitors’ products and services; |
• | changes in the product and service mix of our sales; |
• | changes in our revenue and revenue growth rates as a whole or for individual geographic areas, products, services or product and sales categories; |
• | unscheduled system interruptions; |
• | our ability to timely develop, introduce and market new products, as well as enhanced versions of our current products; |
• | additions or departures of key personnel; |
• | changes in financial estimates by securities analysts; |
• | conditions or trends in the medical imaging industries; |
• | changes in the market valuations of other medical imaging companies; |
• | developments in governmental regulations of medical imaging products; |
• | announcements by us or our competitors of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments; |
• | sales of our common stock or other securities in the open market; and |
• | other events or factors that may be beyond our control. |
Statements or changes in opinions, ratings, or earnings estimates made by brokerage firms or industry analysts relating to the markets in which we conduct our business or relating to us or our competitors could result in an immediate and adverse effect on the market price of our common stock. In addition, the stock market has from time to time experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations which have particularly affected the market price for the securities of many companies which often have been unrelated to the operating performance of these companies. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
We may issue substantial amounts of additional shares of our common stock without shareholder approval, which could dilute the equity interests of our shareholders.
We have outstanding an aggregate of 17,928,800 shares of our common stock as of the date of this prospectus. We also have 5 million shares of serial preferred stock authorized but unissued, all of which shares are not reserved for specific purposes, and an additional (a)1,394,400 shares of our common stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options granted or available for grant under our various stock plans, (b) 850,000 shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of warrants we previously granted and are currently outstanding (including the 800,000 warrants held by certain of the selling securityholders, the underlying shares for which are being offered pursuant to this prospectus), and (c) 2,109,705 shares of our common stock issuable upon conversion of the initial principal amount of a convertible term note we previously issued, which shares are being offered pursuant to this prospectus, in each instance as of the date of this prospectus. All of s uch shares may be issued without any action or approval by our shareholders. Any shares issued by us in the future would further dilute the percentage ownership held by our shareholders.

Table of Contents
Substantial sales of our common stock could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock could adversely affect the market price of our common stock by introducing a large number of sellers to the market. This could cause the market price of our common stock to decline.
Our acquisition strategy may result in dilution to our shareholders.
Our business strategy to increase our market share in the industries in which we compete includes the possibility of strategic acquisitions of other businesses, technologies and services. We anticipate that future acquisitions will require cash and issuances of our capital stock, including our common stock. To the extent we are required to pay cash for any acquisition, we anticipate that we would be required to obtain additional equity and/or debt financing. Equity financing would result in dilution for our then current shareholders. Such stock issuances and financing, if obtained, may not be on terms favorable to us and could result in substantial dilution to our shareholders at the time(s) of these stock issuances and financings.
We have no history of paying dividends.
We have never paid any cash dividends on our common stock and we do not anticipate paying any dividends in the foreseeable future. In addition, if we do declare a dividend, the conversion price of the term loan with our secured credit facility would be reduced by an amount equal to the dividend declared and paid.
Limited directors’ liability could prevent our shareholders from holding our directors responsible for a lack of care.
Our certificate of incorporation provides that our directors will not be held liable to us or our shareholders for monetary damages upon breach of a director’s fiduciary duty, except to the extent otherwise required by law.

BUSINESS OF THE COMPANY
General
We were organized on September 20, 1978 under the laws of the State of New York. Since then, we have been engaged in the business of designing, developing, manufacturing and distributing equipment for generating and/or capturing medical and dental diagnostic images. The products utilize electronic and radiographic technologies, as well as the chemical processing of photosensitive materials. We are ISO 9001 certified. Veterinary and industrial professionals also use our imaging products. We distribute in world-wide markets, under various brand names and trademarks, through a network of independent and unaffiliated dealers. Certain digital imaging products are also sold and distributed by us directly to dental professional end users, through a new distribution channel acquired in fiscal year 2007.
Our primary objective is to be a leading provider of cost effective, diagnostic radiographic products for applications in the medical, dental, veterinary and industrial imaging fields. We are concentrating on:
• | continually broadening our product offerings in the transition from x-ray film to electronic imaging, |
• | enhancing both our domestic and international distribution channels, and |
• | expanding our world-wide market presence in the diagnostic, dental imaging field. |
We are engaged in one industry segment, the manufacture and distribution of medical and dental x-ray imaging equipment and accessories. Prior to July 2001, when we sold the assets related to our graphic arts subsidiary, we had been engaged in two industry segments, the manufacture and distribution of medical/dental x-ray equipment and accessories, and graphic arts, film processing equipment. We have agreed not to compete in this same business line of graphic arts film and plate processing equipment for ten years, to expire in July 2011. Our business segments until July 2001 were based on significant differences in the nature of our operations, including distribution channels and customers. The composition of the current industry segment is consistent with that used by our management in making strategic decisions.

Description of Business
Principal Products and Services
• | Cone Beam CT Scanners – Three Dimensional Imaging |
Through QR, an Italian corporation and our wholly-owned subsidiary, we design, manufacture and distribute a dental CT scanner capable of generating and reconstructing three-dimensional images of the teeth, jaws and surrounding dental anatomy. For many clinical procedures, it is an important diagnostic improvement over historical two-dimensional film images. The system utilizes a conical shaped x-ray cone beam, also known as CBCT, that rotates around the skull and passes through the teeth, at many angles, thus creating unique, radiographic dental information that is captured digitally. Our proprietary software then reconstructs a three-dimensional image from the data. QR has been providing this technology to world-wide markets for over ten years. The primary users are dentists, implant specialists, oral surgeons and orthodontists, as well as ear, nose and throat medical specialists. The configuration includes a horizontal patient table support system that assists positioning for complex cases involving the elderly, the infirm or small children. We have also introduced a vertical, standing CBCT model where a patient can be seated or standing upright during the examination. This model also provides user flexibility for smaller examination rooms. We completed the acquisition of QR on April 19, 2007.
• | Digital Dental and Large Body Digital Imaging Systems – Two Dimensional Imaging |
We manufacture, distribute and service film-less, digital radiography sensors in various image format sizes, utilizing x-rays and electronic imaging software. The equipment generates and captures two dimensional, dental x-ray images with these sensors, in place of film, and then displays them using our software. Digital radiographic systems, referred to as DR Systems (direct radiography), have practical applications in both human and companion animal diagnostics. Veterinary dentistry has become a growing and important discipline and treatment procedure.
We have developed proprietary software for each application. DR systems can be either ‘‘postage stamp size’’, larger for equine applications or in the largest format to be installed in x-ray tables for companion animal whole body examinations. The primary benefit for the professional is the improved display of diagnostic information, clinical efficiency and the flexibility of electronic radiographs for referrals and storage.
• | Dental X-Ray Systems |
We distribute digital and analog dental x-ray machines manufactured by others. We have the exclusive distribution rights in the North American markets for a well-established, European-designed, intraoral dental x-ray and a panoramic/cephalometric dental x-ray unit. The latter provides, all in one view, a full format image for the diagnosis of the entire upper and lower dental arches and jaws. These dental products can be supplied to the market with a digital, filmless x-ray sensor that is compatible with our software. Panoramic units are typically used by dentists, orthodontists, oral surgeons, and endodontists for specific patient treatment plans where three dimensional imaging is not required. In such instances, installed equipment utilizes analog x-ray film that can be developed in our well established line of processors.
• | Veterinary Imaging and Radiographic Table Systems |
We manufacture and distribute a line of x-ray tables and related equipment specifically designed for the veterinary marketplace. They include x-ray systems for film or digital dental radiography, a portable digital imaging system for the diagnosis of equine extremities and a large size filmless, x-ray sensor used in conjunction with general radiographic equipment. We distribute general-purpose x-ray systems and related imaging components specifically designed for veterinary applications. They are marketed under our trademark ‘‘VetTek.’’ These systems are designed to offer the user either digital or film-based image capture systems and allow the veterinarian to perform either dental or general radiography.
15
Table of Contents
• | X-Ray Processors & Accessories |
We manufacture and distribute a line of medical, dental and industrial x-ray film processors. These are commonly referred to as analog film-based systems. The machines automatically process or develop x-ray films. The exposed film is inserted into the equipment and returned to the operator developed, fixed, washed and dried. The equipment can be located either in a dark room site or adapted to a daylight loading system. These analog units are used for diagnostic x-ray imaging and industrial, non-destructive testing applications. These processor products are distributed worldwide through an unaffiliated dealer network to doctors, dentists, veterinarians, hospitals, medical clinics and the U.S. government.
Patents and Trademarks
We presently hold or have licensed a number of domestic and foreign utility patents which we believe are material to the technology used in our products. Our intellectual property includes several patents obtained in connection with prior acquisitions. We are not aware of any patents or other intellectual property held by others that conflict with our current product designs. However, there can be no assurance that infringement claims will not be asserted against us in the future. Patent applications have been filed where appropriate.
We own several domestic and foreign trademarks which we use in connection with the marketing of our products, including AFP Imaging, DENT-X, ENDOS, EVA, NewTom 3G, VetTek and DIGI-VET, among others.
We believe that our utility patents and trademarks are important to our operations and the loss or infringement by others of or to our rights to such patents and trademarks could have a material adverse effect on us. Even with the patent rights for our products, our technology may not preclude or inhibit competitors from producing products that have substantially similar performance specifications as do our products.
We have agreed to pay a nominal royalty on the domestic sales of our digital dental systems to a third party under a license for the use of the third party’s software format for the computer display of such images. This royalty will cease if and when we introduce a modified version of our software which does not use the third party’s software format. We also have agreed to pay a royalty to a third party on the worldwide sales of our digital dental sensors under a license to use certain technology developed and owned by the third party and utilized in the sensor’s internal operations. We are dependent to some degree on this third party license, and the loss or inability to replace this license could result in increased costs as well as substantial delays or reductions in product shipments. The principal technology applied to the construction of our other products may be considered proprietary.
Research and Development
The amounts spent by us during each of our last three fiscal years on primary research activities relating to the development of new products and the improvement of existing products, all of which we sponsored, are as follows:
Year Ended June 30, | ||||||||||||
2007 | 2006 | 2005 | ||||||||||
$1,021,766 | $ | 696,700 | $ | 435,813 |
We conduct research and development activities internally at both our Elmsford, New York and Verona, Italy facilities, and contract out certain projects to qualified vendors and external consultants. Our research and development efforts and technologies have been significantly enhanced by the acquisition of QR. We have integrated our research and development between both locations.
Raw Materials
We manufacture and assemble our products at our facilities in Elmsford, New York and Verona, Italy, both of which are ISO 9001/2000 (International Standards Organization) certified. Our products
16
Table of Contents
are manufactured from parts and components obtained from numerous unaffiliated suppliers and/or fabricated internally. In most cases, we do not utilize any unique processes, nor do we traditionally have difficulties in obtaining raw materials, in the manufacture of our products. We do own proprietary designs and tooling to produce our digital x-ray sensors and other components that are in the physical possession of vendors. Although we anticipate that an adequate commercial supply of necessary raw materials and components will remain available from various sources, the loss of our relationship with a particular supplier could result in production delays.
Warranties
We generally warrant each of our products against defects in materials and workmanship for a period of one to two years, depending upon the product, from the date of shipment, plus any extended warranty period purchased by the customer. We offer a three-year warranty for our digital, dental sensors. The need to fulfill warranty claims by our customers or dealers could potentially have an adverse effect on us, by requiring additional expenditures for replacements, materials and/or labor.
Sales, Marketing and Distribution
Our manufactured and outsourced products are distributed both domestically and internationally to end users and independent medical and dental dealers or distributors. These dealers install and service our products. We advertise and market under our own brands and trade names. Certain 3-D imaging products are imported from our Verona, Italy facility. Other items come from foreign suppliers for sale in North America. We have also expanded our dental sales efforts by acquiring a direct sales distribution channel.
We conduct worldwide marketing and regional sales efforts through trade show attendance and promotion. We advertise in domestic and international journals, provide sales support and literature, prepare technical manuals and conduct customer education and training programs in order to promote our products. In addition, we participate in domestic and international technical support. We maintain various web sites, which provide an easy-to-navigate, on-line information resource. Our website includes our background information, product description and extensive technical specifications and information. Information contained on our websites is not to be deemed part of this prospectus.
Government Regulation
Our medical and dental products are subject to government regulation in the United States and certain other countries. The United States Food and Drug Administration regulates the distribution of all equipment used as medical devices in the United States. We must comply with the procedures and standards established by the FDA and comparable foreign regulatory agencies. We believe we have registered all of our applicable medical and dental products with the FDA, and that all of our products and procedures satisfy all the criteria necessary to comply with FDA regulations. The FDA has the right to disapprove the marketing of any medical device that fails to comply with FDA regulations. Our manufacturing facilities are ISO 9001/2000 certified. Where applicable, our products are Conformite’ Europeenne certified for sales within the European Union. Any future changes in existing regulations, or adoption of additional regulations, domestically or internationally, which govern devices such as our medical and dental products, have the potential to have a material adverse effect on our ability to market our existing products or to market new products. We engage the services of specialized, expert consultants for the preparation of FDA applications.
We are also subject to other international, federal, state, and local laws, regulations and recommendations relating to safe working conditions and manufacturing processes. We believe that we are in compliance with such rules.
International sales of our products are subject to the regulatory agency product registration requirements of each country in which our products are sold. The regulatory review process varies from country to country. We typically rely on our distributors in foreign countries to obtain the required regulatory approvals.

Product Liability Exposure
Our business involves the inherent risk of product liability claims. We currently maintain general product liability insurance as well as an umbrella liability policy which we believe is sufficient to protect us from any potential risks to which we may be subject. However, there can be no assurances that product liability insurance coverage will continue to be available or, if available, that it can be obtained in sufficient amounts or at a reasonable cost.
Seasonal Nature
Historically, our fourth quarter revenues of any fiscal year have been higher than the subsequent first quarter’s revenues. This is due to aggressive fourth quarter marketing, followed by lower customer demand in the first fiscal quarter attributed to summer holidays and traditional foreign business closings during July and August. We expect future net sales and operating results to continue to reflect this general seasonality.
Working Capital Practices
We believe our practices regarding inventories, receivables or other items of working capital to be typical for the industry involved. On April 13, 2007, we entered into a new senior secured credit facility (the ‘‘Revolving Credit and Term Loan’’) with ComVest Capital, LLC that replaced our existing $2.5 million revolving line of credit that was due to expire on September 21, 2007. The Revolving Credit and Term Loan consists of a $5 million convertible term note and a $3 million revolving loan facility. The convertible term note bears interest at a rate of ten percent per annum and provides for repayment over five years commencing in November 2007 with a final balloon payment of all remaining amounts due thereunder on April 30, 2012. The convertible term note, in addition to being convertible by us upon the satisfaction of certain conditions, including a trading price equal to 175% of the conversion price and our common stock being traded on Nasdaq, is convertible by the lender at any time into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $2.37 per share, or 2,109,705 shares based on the initial principal amount of the convertible term note, which shares are being registered by this prospectus. The revolving loan bears interest at a rate of two percent plus prime rate per annum, has a specific formula to calculate available funds based on eligible accounts receivable and inventory, is subject to certain maximum ‘‘borrowing base’’ requirements, has certain reporting requirements to the lender, and is payable in full on April 12, 2012. We and each of our wholly-owned subsidiaries executed a Collateral Agreement pursuant to which each such party agreed to grant a security interest in all of the respective assets of each to ComVest as collateral security for repayment of the loans. The Revolving Credit and Term Loan is secured by all of our and our wholly- owned subsidiaries’ inventory, accounts receivable, equipment, officer life insurance policies and proceeds thereof, trademarks, licenses, patents and general intangibles. It is believed that the Revolving Credit and Term Loan is sufficient to finance our ongoing working capital requirements for the foreseeable future. The Revolving Credit and Term Loan has a specific formula to calculate available funds based on eligible accounts receivable and inventory, is subject to maximum borrowing base limitations, and has certain reporting requirements. As part of the transaction, we granted to ComVest an aggregate of 800,000 warrants to purchase shares of our common stock at exercise prices per share equal to $1.85 with respect to 266,666 warrants, $2.02 with respect to an additional 266,666 warrants, and $2.19 with respect to the remaining 266,668 warrants. The Black-Scholes Method was used to value these detachable warrants. We entered into a Registration Rights Agreement pursuant to which we agreed to register the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants and conversion of the term note, all of such shares which are being registered hereby. As of September 15, 2007, we had available approximately $443,324 of unused credit under the Revolving Credit and Term Loan.
In September 2001, in connection with the entry into a previous line of credit with our former lender, we issued a five-year warrant for the purchase of 100,000 shares of our common stock at $.32 per share, subject to adjustment for all subsequent issuances of stock. The expiration date of this warrant was September 21, 2006. In August and September 2006, the former lender exercised the warrant and converted the warrant into 82,806 shares of common stock in a cashless exercise in a manner as specified in the warrant.

Customers
In our fiscal years ended June 30, 2007, 2006 and 2005, there were no sales to any one customer which accounted for 10% or more of our total consolidated sales. Management believes that the loss of any one customer would have an adverse effect on our consolidated business for a short period of time as we seek new customers.
Backlog Orders
As of June 30, 2007, our backlog of orders for our products was approximately $2,668,900, as compared with $1,066,839 as of June 30, 2006. All of the orders included in the backlog at June 30, 2007 are scheduled for delivery on or before June 30, 2008. Spare part sales are not included in our backlog calculations. In our opinion, fluctuations in the backlog and its size at any given time are not necessarily indicative of intermediate or long-term trends in our business. Much of our backlog can be canceled or the delivery dates of orders can be accelerated or extended without penalty. Delivery of capital equipment is frequently subject to changing economic or budget conditions of medical institutions and end user clinical practitioners, which can vary significantly between fiscal periods.
Government Contracts
We have not fulfilled any significant contracts with the United States government in our last three fiscal years that were material to our consolidated business. Our policy is to be responsive to all governmental requests for quotations, which can be fulfilled by items within the scope of our product lines. Several government agencies also procure equipment directly without contract awards.
Competition
We are subject to both foreign and domestic competition. Competitors have made significant investments in research and development of new technologies, products and services. Some competitors are well established in similar manufacturing and distribution businesses and have greater financial, manufacturing and distribution resources than us. With respect to all of our products, we compete on the basis of function, features, product specifications, promptness of delivery and customer service. We purchase certain products from others for resale on a non-exclusive basis, which may be subject to competition from the suppliers or other independent distributors.
We also compete in the dental imaging market on the basis of our proprietary and patented technologies. Certain competitors have significant or greater resources and revenues in electronic digital imaging technologies and expertise in software development utilized in dental imaging products.
The market for technology professional services is intensely competitive, rapidly evolving and subject to rapid technological change. We expect competition not only to persist, but also to increase. Competition may result in price reductions, reduced margins and loss of market share. The market for our goods and services is rapidly evolving and is subject to continuous technological change. As a result, our competitors may be better positioned to address these developments or may react more favorably to these changes.
While we believe our products are competitive in terms of capabilities, quality and price, increased competition in the marketplace could have an adverse effect on our business and recent mergers and acquisitions may have potentially adverse effects on our business. Many of our competitors are much larger with significantly greater financial, sales, marketing and other resources than ours. There can be no assurance that these competitors are not currently developing or will attempt to develop new products that are more effective than ours or that might render our products noncompetitive or obsolete. No assurances can be given that we will be able to compete successfully with such competitors in the future.
Environmental
We believe we are in compliance with the current laws and regulations in the United States and Italy governing the protection of the environment and that continued compliance would not have a

The respective benefit accrues to each employee on a pro-rata basis during their employment period and is based on their respective salary. The vested benefit payable accrues interest.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The shares of our common stock being offered for sale pursuant to this prospectus may be sold by the selling securityholders or by pledgees, donees, transferees or other successors in interest of the selling securityholders for their respective own accounts.
We will receive none of the proceeds from such shares, other than proceeds from the exercise of the warrants. The selling securityholders will pay or assume brokerage commissions or other charges and expenses incurred in the sale of the shares.
The distribution of the shares by the selling securityholders is not subject to any underwriting agreement. The shares offered by the selling securityholders may be sold from time to time at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices relating to such prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. In addition, the selling securityholders may sell their shares covered by this prospectus through customary brokerage channels, either through broker-dealers acting as agents or brokers, or through broker-dealers acting as principals, who may then resell the shares, or at private sale or otherwise, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices.
The selling securityholders may from time to time pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of our common stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares from time to time under this prospectus after we have filed an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending the list of selling securityholders to include the pledgees, transferees or other successors in interest as selling securityholders under this prospectus.
The selling securityholders also may transfer the shares of our common stock in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus and may sell the shares of stock from time to time under this prospectus after we have filed an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending the list of selling securityholders to include the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest as selling securityholders under this prospectus.
The selling securityholders may effect such transactions by selling the shares to or through broker-dealers, and such broker-dealers may receive compensation in the form of underwriting discounts, concessions, commissions, or fees from the selling securityholders and/or purchasers of the shares for whom such broker-dealers may act as agent or to whom they sell as principal, or both (which compensation to a particular broker-dealer might be in excess of customary commissions).
The selling securityholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers in connection with distributions of the shares or otherwise. In these transactions, broker-dealers may engage in short sales of the shares in the course of hedging the positions they assume with selling securityholders. The selling securityholders may also sell shares short and redeliver the shares to close out such short positions. The selling securityholders may enter into options or other transactions with broker-dealers that require the delivery to the broker-dealer of the shares. The broker-dealer may then resell or otherwise transfer such shares pursuant to this prospectus. The selling securityholders also may loan or pledge the shares to a broker-dealer. The broker-dealer may sell the shares so loaned, or upon default, the broker-dealer may sell the pledged shares pursuant to this prospectus.
Any broker-dealer that participates with the selling securityholders in the distribution of the shares being offered pursuant to this prospectus may be deemed to be an underwriter and any commissions received by such broker-dealer and any profit on the resale of shares positioned by such broker-dealer might be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions within the meaning of the Securities Act, in connection with such sales.
Any shares covered by this prospectus that qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather than pursuant to this prospectus.

Item 17. Undertakings.
(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(i) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to:
(A) include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(B) reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this registration statement; notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated
II-3
Table of Contents
maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the ‘‘Calculation of Registration Fee’’ table in the effective registration statement; and
(C) include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this registration statement or any material change to such information in this registration statement;
(ii) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment 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; and
(iii) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or 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.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appr opriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
(d) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:
(i) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective; and
(ii) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus 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.
