F-1 PART I ITEM 1. BUSINESS Schick Technologies, Inc. (the "Company") designs, develops and manufactures innovative digital radiographic imaging systems and devices for the dental and medical markets. The Company's products, which are based on proprietary digital imaging technologies, create instant high resolution radiographs with reduced levels of radiation. In the field of dentistry, the Company's CDR(R) computed dental radiography imaging system was introduced in March 1994 and has become a leading product in its field. The CDR system uses an intra-oral sensor to produce instant, full size, high resolution dental x-ray images on a color computer monitor without film or the need for chemical development, while reducing the radiation dose by up to 80% or more as compared with conventional x-ray film. The Company also manufactures and sells the CDRCam(R) 2000, an intra-oral camera which fully integrates with the CDR system, and the CDRPan(TM), a digital panoramic imaging device. The Company is also developing other products and devices for the dental field in addition to newer versions of its current products. In the field of medical radiography, the Company manufactures and sells the accuDEXA(R) bone densitometer, a low-cost and easy-to-operate device for the assessment of bone mineral density and fracture risk. Additionally, the Company has commenced development of a general digital radiography device for intended use in various applications, including mobile medicine, orthopedics, podiatry, veterinary medicine and industrial non-destructive testing. The Company's core products are based primarily on its proprietary active-pixel sensor ("APS") imaging technology. In addition, certain of the Company's products are based upon its proprietary enhanced charged coupled device ("CCD") imaging technology. APS allows the fabrication of large-area imaging devices with high resolution at a fraction of the cost of traditional technologies. APS technology was originally developed by the California Institute of Technology and licensed to Photobit Corporation; it is sublicensed to the Company for a broad range of health care applications. The Company's objective is to be the leading provider of high resolution, low-cost digital radiography products. The Company plans to leverage its technological advantage in the digital imaging field to penetrate a broad range of diagnostic imaging markets. The Company believes that its proprietary technologies and expertise in electronics, imaging software and advanced packaging may enable it to compete successfully in these markets. Key elements of the Company's strategy include (i) expanding market leadership in dental digital radiography through expanded sales channels, further product enhancements and strategic distribution agreements ; (ii) broadening the marketing of accuDEXA(R) to the medical market through increased marketing activities; (iii) introducing new products based on patented and proprietary APS technology for other medical and industrial applications; and (iv) enhancing international distribution channels for existing and new products. The Company's business was founded in 1992 and it was incorporated in Delaware in 1997. On July 7, 1997, the Company completed an initial public offering of its Common Stock. Proceeds to the Company after expenses of the offering were approximately $33,508,000. On December 27, 1999, the Company established a strategic relationship with Greystone Funding Corporation ("Greystone") and entered into a Loan Agreement with Greystone which provided for the establishment of a credit facility for the Company in an amount of up to $7.5 million. In connection with this Agreement, as amended and restated on March 17, 2000, Greystone designees were appointed to the Company's Board of Directors and key executive management positions. The Company has used the Greystone line of credit to provide it with working capital and to help facilitate future growth. On July 5, 2001, the Company repaid all outstanding advances under the Greystone line of credit, together with all unpaid accrued interest thereunder, and concurrently surrendered said line of credit in its entirety. See "Item 7 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations." The Company's offices are located at 30-00 47th Avenue, Long Island City, New York 11101. The Company's telephone number is (718) 937-5765, and its web site address is http://www.schicktech.com. 1 PRODUCTS / INDUSTRY Dental Imaging X-ray imaging, or radiography, is widely used as a basic diagnostic technique in a broad range of medical applications. To produce a conventional radiograph, a film cassette is placed behind the anatomy to be imaged. A generator, which produces high energy photons known as x-rays, is positioned opposite the film cassette. The transmitted x-rays pass through soft tissue, such as skin and muscle, and are absorbed by harder substances, such as bone. These x-rays then form a latent image upon the film. After exposure, the film is passed through a series of chemicals and then dried. Film, however, has certain inherent limitations, including the time, operating expense, inconvenience and uncertainty associated with film processing, as well as the cost of disposal of waste chemicals and the need for compliance with environmental regulations. Furthermore, the radiation dosage levels required to assure adequate image quality in conventional film raise concerns regarding the health risks associated with exposure to radiation. Also, conventional film images cannot be electronically retrieved from patient records or electronically transmitted to health care providers or insurance carriers at remote locations, a capability which has become increasingly important in today's managed care environment. While x-ray scanning systems convert x-rays into digital form, they add to the time and expense associated with the use of conventional film and do not eliminate the drawbacks of film processing. Digital radiography products have been developed to overcome the limitations of conventional film. These systems replace the conventional film cassette with an electronic receptor which directly converts the incident x-rays to digital images. The first system to employ certain aspects of this technique was Computed Radiography(TM) ("CR"), a "near real time" system, in which a laser scanner reads the x-ray image from a specially designed cassette. While CR allows the images to be electronically displayed and stored, it does not achieve instant results, and employs a large, costly scanning system. Other technologies which allow for instant acquisition of digital x-rays have been developed, including CCD arrays and amorphous silicon panels, neither of which is well suited for imaging large areas due, respectively, to high cost and limited resolution. Dentists, who typically perform their own radiology work, represent the single largest group of radiologists in the world and the dental industry is, in terms of unit volume, the largest consumer of radiographic products and equipment. The Company believes that there is a potential market for approximately 1.1 million digital dental radiography devices worldwide. According to the American Dental Association, there are approximately 150,000 practicing dentists in the United States. The Company believes that each of them, on average, operates 2.5 radiological units, creating a potential market of 375,000 digital dental radiography devices in the United States. In addition, the Company believes that there are approximately 600,000 practicing dentists in the world's major healthcare markets outside of the United States and, the Company believes that each of them, on average, operates 1.25 radiological units, creating a potential market of 750,000 additional devices. The Company believes that dentists have a particularly strong motivation to adopt digital radiography. Radiographic examinations are an integral part of routine dental checkups and the dentist is directly involved in the film development process. The use of digital radiography eliminates delays in film processing, thus increasing the dentist's potential revenue stream and efficiency, and reduces overhead expenses. The use of digital radiography also allows dentists to more effectively communicate diagnosis and treatment plans to patients, which the Company believes has the potential to increase the rate of patients' treatment acceptance and resulting revenues. Finally, the dosage required to produce an intra-oral dental x-ray, which is high when compared with other medical radiographs, can be reduced by up to 80% or more through the use of digital radiography. The Company's principal revenue-generating product is its CDR(R)computed dental radiography imaging system. The Company's CDR(R) system is easy to operate and can be used with any dental x-ray generator. To produce a digital 2 x-ray image using CDR(R), the dentist selects an intra-oral sensor of suitable size and places it in the patient's mouth. The sensor converts the x-rays into a digital image that is displayed on the computer monitor within five seconds and automatically stored as part of the patient's clinical records. CDR(R) system software allows the dentist to perform a variety of advanced diagnostic operations on the image. The sensor can then be repositioned for the next x-ray. As the x-ray dose is significantly lower than that required for conventional x-ray film, concern over the potential health risk posed by multiple x-rays is greatly diminished. The process is easy and intuitive, enabling nearly any member of the dental staff to operate the CDR(R) system with minimal training. The Company manufactures digital sensors in three sizes which correspond to the three standard size conventional x-ray films. Size 0 measures 31 x 22 x 5mm and is designed for pediatric use; size 1 measures 37 x 24 x 5mm and is designed for taking anterior dental images; and size 2 measures 43 x 30 x 5mm and is designed to take bitewing images. All of the Company's CDR(R) sensors can be sterilized using cold solutions or gas. The typical CDR(R) configuration includes a computer, display monitor and size 2 digital sensor. The Company began selling its intra-oral camera, the CDRCam(R), in early 1997 and introduced the CDRCam(R) 2000, a redesigned version of the product, in November 1999. CDRCam(R) fully integrates with the CDR(R) system to provide color video images of the structures of the mouth. Since their introduction in 1991, intra-oral cameras have become widely accepted as a dental communication and presentation tool. CDRCam(R) is "ETL Listed." ETL is a North American Safety Mark indicating compliance with safety standard UL-2601-1. In March 1999, the Company commenced the sale of its digital panoramic imaging device, the CDRPan(TM). This device, which is designed to be retrofitted into conventional panoramic dental x-ray machines, replaces film with electronic sensors and a computer. This obviates the need for film and provides instantaneous images, thus offering substantial savings in terms of time and costs. Additionally, the CDRPan (TM) easily integrates with practice management and other computer software applications. Bone Mineral Density / Fracture Risk Assessment Assessment of bone mineral density ("BMD") is an essential component in the diagnosis and monitoring of osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is a disease that causes progressive loss of bone mass which, in serious cases, may result in bone fractures and even death. Osteoporosis can develop over the course of many years without apparent symptoms, until bone is sufficiently degenerated and fractures occur. The National Osteoporosis Foundation has estimated that approximately 200 million people suffer from the disease worldwide, which affects one out of three postmenopausal women and one out of ten men over the age of 70. In the United States, an estimated 28 million people suffer from the disease or have low bone mass, placing them at increased risk for osteoporosis. The total estimated health care cost of osteoporosis in the United States, including indirect costs, is approximately $14 billion annually. Until recently, osteoporosis was considered neither treatable nor preventable. Because effective treatments are now available and because osteoporosis may be preventable if detected in its early stages, the demand for BMD diagnostic equipment has significantly increased. Because of the large population segment which could benefit from BMD testing, the Company believes that there is a need for a practical, instant, cost effective, precise, compact and easy-to-use BMD testing device for the primary care physician. Primary care physicians consist of internal medicine, family, geriatric and OB/GYN practices. These practices represent approximately 172,000 potential testing sites in the United States alone. Traditional BMD assessment devices have been large, costly and difficult to operate, and are mainly found in large hospitals and diagnostic imaging centers. It is estimated that in 2000, there were approximately 7,500 such BMD assessment devices in use in the United States. The Company has developed an innovative BMD assessment device to assist doctors in the diagnosis of low bone density and prediction of fracture risk. The Company believes that this low-cost and precise diagnostic tool, which is marketed under the trade name accuDEXA(R), assesses BMD more quickly, accurately and easily than any comparable product currently on the market, while using a minimal radiation dosage. It is a point-of-treatment tool, designed for use by primary care physicians as an integral part of a patient's regular physical examination. In December 1997, the Company received clearance from the United States Food and Drug Administration ("FDA")for the general use and 3 marketing of the accuDEXA(R) as a BMD assessment device; in June, 1998, the FDA granted the Company additional clearance for its marketing of the accuDEXA(R) as a predictor of fracture risk. Based on APS technology, accuDEXA(R) is a small self-contained unit capable of instantly assessing the BMD of a specific portion of the patient's hand, a relative indicator of BMD elsewhere in the body. This device is the first BMD assessment instrument that is virtually automatic, requiring little operator intervention or interfacing other than the entry of relevant patient data into a built-in touch sensitive LCD screen. The device requires no external x-ray generator or computer and it exposes the patient to less than 1% of the radiation of a single conventional chest x-ray. To perform a test using the accuDEXA(R), the patient places his or her hand into a positioner and, upon activation by the operator, the device automatically emits two low-dosage x-ray pulses. The patient's bone density and fracture risk information is displayed on the screen in less than 30 seconds. The accuDEXA(R) is "ETL Listed." ETL is a North American Safety Mark indicating compliance with safety standard UL-2601-1. General Digital Radiography The Company is also developing a mobile 8"x 10" digital radiography system for various applications. This unit is targeted primarily for peripheral x-ray images, such as orthopedic and podiatric. The unit will also be suitable for veterinary and non-destructive testing applications. Management currently expects that the unit will be available for sale by the end of 2002, pending clearance by the FDA. There can be no assurance that the Company will file for such clearance or that the FDA will grant such clearance. See "Business -- Government Regulation." Mammography In late 2000, the Company suspended its development of a digital mammography device. Management determined that the Company would instead focus its resources on core product development. The Company may resume development of a digital mammography device in the future, but there can be no assurance that it will do so or that, if it does, it will be successful in such endeavor. Schick X-Ray Corporation On September 24, 1997, the Company completed the acquisition of certain assets of Keystone Dental X-Ray, Inc., a manufacturer of x-ray equipment for the medical and dental radiology field, for $1.5 million in cash. The acquired assets were integrated into the Company's former subsidiary, Schick X-Ray Corporation ("Schick X-Ray"). In August 1999, Schick X-Ray was dissolved and its operations absorbed by the Company. MANUFACTURING The Company's products are manufactured at its facility in Long Island City, New York, which includes a controlled environment sensor production facility. This facility is subject to periodic inspection by the FDA. The Company has invested in automated and semi-automated equipment for the fabrication and machining of parts and assemblies incorporated in its products. The Company's quality assurance program includes various quality control measures from inspection of raw materials, purchased parts and assemblies through in-process and final inspection and conforms to the guidelines of the International Quality Standard, ISO 9001. In August 1998, the Company was granted ISO 9001 certification and, since that time, has been subject to semi-annual audits to ensure the maintenance of such certification. The Company manufactures most of its custom components itself in order to minimize dependence on suppliers, for quality control purposes and to help maintain process propriety. While the Company does procure certain components from outside sources which are sole suppliers, it believes that those components could be obtained from additional sources without substantial difficulty, although the need to change suppliers or to alternate between suppliers might cause significant delays in delivery or significantly increase the Company's costs. The Company procures its APS and CCD semiconductor wafers, a significant component of its products, each from a single supplier. Extended interruptions of this supply could have a material adverse effect on the Company's ability to produce its products and its results of operations. The Company's manufacturing processes are, for the most part, vertically integrated, although selective outsourcing is employed to take advantage of economies of scale at outside manufacturing facilities and to alleviate manufacturing bottlenecks. 4 Certain components used in existing products of the Company, as well as products under development, may be purchased from single sources. DEPENDENCE ON CUSTOMERS During fiscal 2001, Patterson Dental Company and RoSCH AG Medizintechnik accounted for annual sales by the Company of $4.5 million and $3.0 million, or 21% and 14%, respectively, of annual sales. During fiscal 2000 and 1999, a single customer, Henry Schein, Inc., accounted for annual sales by the Company of $2.6 and $7.2 million, or 11.7% and 15.8%, respectively, of annual sales. During fiscal 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively, sales of approximately $8.1 million, $6.5 million and $6.0 million were made to foreign customers. PATENTS, TRADE SECRETS AND PROPRIETARY RIGHTS The Company seeks to protect its intellectual property through a combination of patent, trademark and trade secret protection. The Company's future success will depend in part on its ability to obtain and enforce patents for its products and processes, preserve its trade secrets and operate without infringing the proprietary rights of others. Patents The Company has an active corporate patent program, the goal of which is to secure patent protection for its technology. The Company currently has issued United States patents for an `Intra-Oral Sensor For Computer Aided Radiography,' U.S. Patent No. 5,434,418, which expires on October 16, 2012; a `Large Area Image Detector,' U.S. Patent No. 5,834,782, which expires on November 20, 2016; a `Method and Apparatus for Measuring Bone Density,' U.S. Patent No. 5,852,647, which expires on September 24, 2017; an 'Apparatus for Measuring Bone Density Using Active Pixel Sensors,' U.S. Patent No. 5,898,753, which expires on June 6, 2017; a 'Dental Imaging System with Lamps and Method,' U.S. Patent No. 5,908,294, which expires on June 12, 2017; an 'X-ray Detection System Using Active Pixel Sensors,' U.S. Patent No. 5,912,942, which expires on June 6, 2017; a `Dental Imaging System with White Balance Compensation,' U.S. Patent No. 6,002,424, which expires on June 12, 2017; `Dental Radiography Using an Intraoral Linear Array Sensor,' U.S. Patent No. 5,995,583, which expires on November 13, 2016; a `Method for Reading Out Data from an X-Ray Detector,' U.S. Patent No. 6,069,935, which expires on June 6, 2017; and a `Filmless Dental radiography System Using Universal Serial Bus Port,' U.S. Patent No. 6,134,298, which expires on August 7, 2018. In addition, the Company is the licensee of U.S. Patent No. 5,179,579, for a 'Radiograph Display System with Anatomical Icon for Selecting Digitized Stored Images,' under a worldwide, non-exclusive, fully-paid license. The Company also has foreign patent applications currently pending. The Company is the exclusive sub-licensee for use in medical radiography applications of certain patents, patent applications and other know-how related to complementary metal oxide semiconductor ("CMOS") active pixel sensor technology (collectively, the "APS Technology"), which was developed by the California Institute of Technology and licensed to Photobit Corp. from which the Company obtained its sub-license. The Company's exclusive rights to such technology are subject to government rights to use, noncommercial educational and research rights to use by California Institute of Technology and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and the right of a third party to obtain a nonexclusive license from the California Institute of Technology with respect to such technology. The Company believes that, as of the date of this filing, except for such third party's exercise of its right to obtain a nonexclusive license to use APS Technology in a field other than medical radiography, none of the foregoing parties have given notice of their exercise of any of their respective rights to the APS Technology. There can be no assurance that this will continue to be the case, and any such exercise could have a material adverse effect on the Company. Additionally, the agreement between the Company and Photobit Corp. requires, among other things, that the Company use all commercially reasonable efforts to timely introduce, improve and market and distribute licensed products. There can be no assurance that the Company will comply with its obligations under its agreement with Photobit Corp. Any such failure to comply could have a material adverse effect on the Company. 5 Trademarks The Company has obtained trademark registrations from the United States Patent and Trademark Office for the marks (i) "CDR" for its digital dental radiography product; (ii) "CDRCam" (both textual and stylized) for its intra-oral camera (iii) "QuickZoom" (both textual and stylized) for a viewing feature in its digital dental radiography product; (iv) "accuDEXA" for its BMD assessment product and(v) "CDR Discovery" for its x-ray generating product. The Company has two additional trademark applications pending before the PTO. Trade Secrets In addition to patent protection, the Company owns trade secrets and proprietary know-how which it seeks to protect, in part, through appropriate Non-Disclosure, Non-Solicitation, Non-Competition and Inventions Agreements, and, to a limited degree, employment agreements with appropriate individuals. These agreements generally provide that all confidential information developed by or made known to the individual by the Company during the course of the individual's relationship with the Company is the property of the Company, and is to be kept confidential and not disclosed to third parties, except in specific limited circumstances. The agreements also generally provide that all inventions conceived by the individual in the course of rendering services to the Company shall be the exclusive property of the Company. However, there can be no assurances that these agreements will not be breached, that the Company would have adequate remedies available for any breach or that the Company's trade secrets will not otherwise become known to, or independently developed by, its competitors. GOVERNMENT REGULATION Products that the Company is currently developing or may develop in the future are likely to require certain forms of governmental clearance, including marketing clearance by the United States Food and Drug Administration (the "FDA"). The FDA review process typically requires extended proceedings pertaining to product safety and efficacy. The Company believes that its future success will depend to a large degree upon commercial sales of improved versions of its current products and sales of new products; the Company will not be able to market such products in the United States without FDA marketing clearance. There can be no assurance that any products developed by the Company in the future will be given clearance by applicable governmental authorities or that additional regulations will not be adopted or current regulations amended in such a manner as to adversely affect the Company. Pursuant to the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, as amended (the "FD&C Act"), the FDA classifies medical devices intended for human use into three classes: Class I, Class II, and Class III. In general, Class I devices are products for which the FDA determines that safety and effectiveness can be reasonably assured by general controls under the FD&C Act relating to such matters as adulteration, misbranding, registration, notification, records and reports. The CDRCam(R) is a Class I device. Class II devices are products for which the FDA determines that general controls are insufficient to provide a reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness, and that require special controls such as promulgation of performance standards, post-market surveillance, patient registries or such other actions as the FDA deems necessary. The CDR(R) system, CDRPan(TM) and accuDEXA(R) have been classified as Class II devices. Class III devices are devices for which the FDA has insufficient information to conclude that either general controls or special controls would be sufficient to assure safety and effectiveness, and which are life-supporting, life-sustaining, of substantial importance in preventing impairment of human health, or present a potential unreasonable risk of illness or injury. Devices in this case require pre-market approval, as described below. None of the Company's existing products are in the Class III category. The FD&C Act further provides that, unless exempted by regulation, medical devices may not be commercially distributed in the United States unless they have been cleared by the FDA. There are two review procedures by which medical devices can receive such clearance. Some products may qualify for clearance under a Section 510(k) procedure, in which the manufacturer submits to the FDA a pre-market notification that it intends to begin marketing the product, and 6 shows that the product is substantially equivalent to another legally marketed product (i.e., that it has the same intended use and that it is as safe and effective as a legally marketed device, and does not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness than does a legally marketed device). In some cases, the 510(k) notification must include data from human clinical studies. Marketing may commence once the FDA issues a clearance letter finding such substantial equivalence. According to FDA regulations, the agency has 90 days in which to respond to a 510(k) notification. There can be no assurance, however, that the FDA will provide a timely response, or that it will reach a finding of substantial equivalence. If a product does not qualify for the 510(k) procedure (either because it is not substantially equivalent to a legally marketed device or because it is a Class III device), the FDA must approve a Pre-Market Approval ("PMA") application before marketing can begin. PMA applications must demonstrate, among other things, that the medical device is safe and effective. A PMA application is typically a complex submission that includes the results of clinical studies. Preparation of such an application is a detailed and time-consuming process. Once a PMA application has been submitted, the FDA's review process may be lengthy and include requests for additional data. By statute and regulation, the FDA may take 180 days to review a PMA application, although such time may be extended. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that a PMA application will be approved by the FDA. In February 1994, the FDA cleared the Company's 510(k) application for general use and marketing of the CDR(R) system. In November 1996, the FDA cleared the Company's 510(k) application for general use and marketing of the CDRCam(R). In December 1997, the FDA cleared the Company's 510(k) application for general use and marketing of accuDEXA(R). On June 4, 1998, the FDA granted the Company additional clearance to market accuDEXA(R) as a predictor of fracture risk. In December 1998, the FDA cleared the Company's 510(k) application for CDRPan(TM). The Company has not yet submitted a 510(k) application for digital mammography sensors. There can be no assurance that the Company will submit such application or that it will obtain FDA clearance for such products. In addition to the requirements described above, the FD&C Act requires that all medical device manufacturers and distributors register with the FDA annually and provide the FDA with a list of those medical devices which they distribute commercially. The FD&C Act also requires that all manufacturers of medical devices comply with labeling requirements and manufacture their products and maintain their documents in a prescribed manner with respect to manufacturing, testing, and quality control activities. The FDA's Medical Device Reporting regulation subjects medical devices to post-market reporting requirements for death or serious injury, and for certain malfunctions that would be likely to cause or contribute to a death or serious injury if malfunction were to recur. In addition, the FDA prohibits a device which has received marketing clearance from being marketed for applications for which marketing clearance has not been obtained. Furthermore, the FDA generally requires that medical devices not cleared for marketing in the United States receive FDA marketing clearance before they are exported, unless an export certification has been granted. The Company must obtain certain approvals by and marketing clearances from governmental authorities, including the FDA and similar health authorities in foreign countries, to market and sell its products in those 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 enforces additional regulations regarding the safety of equipment utilizing x-rays. Various states also impose similar regulations. The FDA review process typically requires extended proceedings pertaining to the safety and efficacy of new products. A 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 ("PMA") may be necessary. Such proceedings, which must be completed prior to marketing a new medical device, are potentially expensive and time consuming. They 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 the Company. The FDA also regulates the content of advertising and marketing materials relating to medical devices. 7 Failure to comply with such regulations may result in a delay in obtaining approval for the marketing of such products or the withdrawal of such approval if previously obtained. The Company is currently developing new products for the dental and medical markets. The Company expects to file 510(k) applications with the FDA in connection with the digital mammography sensors currently under development by the Company, and other future products, including its general digital radiography sensors. There can be no assurance that the Company will file such 510(k) applications and/or will obtain pre-market clearance for the digital mammography sensors or any other future products, or that in order to obtain 510(k) clearance, the Company will not be required to submit additional data or meet additional FDA requirements that may substantially delay the 510(k) process and result in substantial additional expense. Moreover, such pre-market clearance, if obtained, may be subject to conditions on the marketing or manufacturing of the digital mammography sensors which could impede the Company's ability to manufacture and/or market the product. There can be no assurance that the digital mammography or general digital radiography sensors or any other products which may be developed by the Company will be approved by or receive marketing clearance from applicable governmental authorities. If the Company is unable to obtain regulatory approval for and market new products and enhancements to existing products, it will have a material adverse effect on the Company. Failure to comply with applicable regulatory requirements can, among other consequences, result in fines, injunctions, civil penalties, suspensions or loss of regulatory approvals, product recalls, seizure of products, operating restrictions and criminal prosecution. In addition, governmental regulations may be established that could prevent or delay regulatory clearance of the Company's products. Delays in receipt of clearance, failure to receive clearance or the loss of previously received clearance would have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition to laws and regulations enforced by the FDA, the Company is subject to government regulations applicable to all businesses, including, among others, regulations related to occupational health and safety, workers' benefits and environmental protection. 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 the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. Distribution of the Company's products in countries other than the United States may be subject to regulations in those countries. These regulations vary significantly from country to country; the Company typically relies on its independent distributors in such foreign countries to obtain the requisite regulatory approvals. The Company has obtained the "CE mark," necessary for the marketing of its products in the member countries of the European Union. The CE mark is a European Union symbol of adherence to quality assurance standards and compliance with the European Union's Medical Device Directives. The Company has developed and implemented a quality assurance program in accordance with the guidelines of the International Quality Standard, ISO 9001. In August of 1998, the Company was granted ISO 9001 certification. The Company's current products also have been awarded the "ETL" and "CSA" marks. These are North American safety marks which indicate compliance with U.L. Standard 2601-1. PRODUCT LIABILITY INSURANCE The Company is subject to the risk of product liability and other liability claims in the event that the use of its products results in personal injury or other claims. Although the Company has not experienced any product liability claims to date, any such claims could have an adverse impact on the Company. The Company maintains insurance coverage related to product liability claims, but there can be no assurance that product liability or other claims will not exceed its insurance coverage limits, or that such insurance will continue to be maintained or that it will be available on commercially acceptable terms, or at all. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT During fiscal 2001, 2000 and 1999, research and development expenses were $2.2 million, $2.8 million and $4.4 million, respectively. 8 BACKLOG The backlog of orders was approximately $0.5 million and $2.0 million at June 1, 2001 and June 1, 2000, respectively. Such figures include approximately $0.1 million and $0.6 million of orders on hold pending credit approval at June 1, 2001 and June 1, 2000, respectively. Orders included in backlog may generally be cancelled or rescheduled by customers without significant penalty. EMPLOYEES As of July 12, 2001, the Company had 134 full-time employees, engaged in the following capacities: sales and marketing (28); general and administrative (43);operations (45); and research and development (18). The Company believes that its relations with its employees are good. No Company employees are represented by a labor union or are subject to a collective bargaining agreement, nor has the Company experienced any work stoppages due to labor disputes. SALES AND MARKETING Dental Products In April 2000, the Company and Patterson Dental Company ("Patterson") entered into an exclusive distribution agreement and, as of May 1, 2000, the Company began marketing and selling its CDR(R) dental products in the United States and Canada through Patterson. The Company believes that Patterson is one of the largest distributors of dental products in North America, with more than 1,000 field sales personnel in the U.S. and Canada. In addition, the Company has an in-house sales program which focuses on universities and continuing education programs. As of March 1, 2001, CDR(R) had been sold to 47 of the 54 dental schools in the United States. The Company also employs a government sales program to sell directly to the Armed Services, Veterans Administration hospitals, United States Public Health Service and other government-sponsored health institutions. The Company employs approximately 18 area sales managers located throughout the United States to interface with and assist Patterson in its sales effort. A sales and marketing support staff of approximately 3 individuals, based at the Company's offices in New York, supports the sales managers and the direct sales force by planning events and developing promotional and marketing materials. In the international market, the Company sells the CDR(R)system via independent regional distributors. There are currently approximately 30 independent CDR(R) dealers, covering nearly 40 countries. A dedicated in-house staff provides the foreign distributors with materials, technical assistance and training, both in New York and abroad. The Company's goal is to utilize its leading position in the industry, secure as many productive sales channels as possible and to rapidly penetrate additional segments of the international market. BMD / Fracture Risk Assessment The Company currently sells the accuDEXA(R) primarily through a network of manufacturer representatives. To date, accuDEXA(R) sales have taken place primarily within the United States, with a relatively small number of sales abroad. The primary end-users for accuDEXA(R) are primary care physicians, including OB/GYN practices, and osteopathic and geriatric specialists. Pharmaceutical companies are currently involved in wide-scale osteoporosis education and awareness programs targeted at physicians. A number of such companies, including Novartis Pharma AG, Wyeth-Ayerst Laboratories, Eli Lilly Co., Merck & Co. and Procter & Gamble, currently have FDA-approved therapies for the treatment of osteoporosis. The Company believes that several other companies, including Boehringer-Mannheim GmbH, Sanofi-Synthelabo, Inc. and Pfizer Inc. , have additional products that are currently in clinical trials. The Company expects that the efforts of pharmaceutical companies to develop medicines and treatment programs will result in the expansion of doctors' involvement in initial screening and routine management of osteoporosis, thereby increasing the market for BMD assessment devices. The Company intends to capitalize on these efforts both in the United States and abroad. 9 The Company has successfully completed a number of research studies and has collected normative reference data for the accuDEXA(R) databases. These research studies addressed issues of long-term importance such as the detection of osteoporosis and patient risk for bone fracture. The Company has established normative reference databases for Asian female, African-American female, Hispanic female, Caucasian female and Caucasian male populations. The Company will utilize these databases to address the needs of healthcare markets in different countries and regions and expects them to positively impact upon sales of accuDEXA(R) abroad. The Company is currently conducting research studies to investigate the accuDEXA's ability to successfully monitor a course of therapy over a period of time. COMPETITION Competition relating to the Company's current products is intense and includes various companies, both within and outside of the United States. Many of the Company's competitors are large companies with financial, sales and marketing, and other resources which are substantially greater than those of the Company. In addition, they may have substantially greater experience in obtaining regulatory approvals than that of the Company. In addition, there can be no assurance that the Company's competitors are not currently developing, or will not attempt to develop, technologies and products that are more effective than those of the Company or that would otherwise render the Company's products obsolete or uncompetitive. No assurance can be given that the Company will be able to compete successfully. Dental Products A number of companies currently sell intra-oral digital dental sensors. These include Provisions Dental Systems, Inc., Sirona Dental Systems and Cygnus Imaging, Inc. In addition, Dentsply International and Soredex Corporation sell a storage-phosphor based intra-oral dental system. The Company believes that the CDR(R) system has thus far competed successfully against other products. If other companies enter the digital radiography field, it may result in a significantly more competitive market in the future. Several companies are involved in the manufacture and sale of intra-oral cameras, including Dentsply International Inc., Henry Schein Co., Ultra-Cam and Air Technics. Digital panoramic dental devices are manufactured by several companies, including Sirona, Signet, Instrumentarium Imaging and Planmeca. Of those, only the device manufactured by Signet is designed to be incorporated into existing conventional panoramic devices. BMD / Fracture Risk Assessment Two other companies, GE Lunar Corporation and Norland Medical Systems, Inc., are currently marketing peripheral dual-X-Ray-absorptiometry(DXA) BMD densitometers. Several companies including GE Lunar, Hologic, Inc. and Norland are marketing peripheral ultrasound devices. A number of other companies market other devices including ones which assess hand densitometry. Two companies, Ostex International Inc. and Quidel Corp., Inc., have developed biochemical markers which indicate the rate at which the body is resorbing (i.e., breaking down) bone.

PROPERTIES The Company presently leases approximately 57,000 square feet of space in Long Island City, New York. This space houses the Company's executive offices, sales and marketing headquarters, research and development laboratories and production and shipping facilities. The Company believes that such space will be adequate for its needs for the foreseeable future. ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS The Company and/or certain of its officers and former officers, are involved in the proceedings described below: I. The Company was a named defendant in two lawsuits instituted by Trophy Radiologie, S.A. ('Trophy S.A.'), a subsidiary of Trex Medical Corporation. One lawsuit was instituted in France and the other in the United States. On or about June 6, 2001, an agreement for the settlement and discontinuance of these two lawsuits was executed by the parties. The French lawsuit was filed in November 1995, in the tribunal de Grande Instance de Bobigny, the French patent court, and originally alleged that the Company's CDR(R)system infringes French Patent No. 2,547,495, European Patent No. 129,451 and French Certificate of Addition No. 2,578,737. These patents, all of which are related, are directed to a CCD-based intra-oral sensor. Subsequent to filing its lawsuit, Trophy S.A. withdrew its allegation of infringement with respect to the Certificate of Addition. Trophy S.A. was seeking a permanent injunction and unspecified damages, including damages for its purported lost profits. In October 2000, the French patent court dismissed this lawsuit. The court dismissed all of Trophy's claims, finding no infringement of either patent. The court also ordered Trophy to pay the sum of 65,000 French Francs to the Company as partial reimbursement for legal fees. The lawsuit in the United States was filed in March 1996 by Trophy S.A., Trophy Radiology, Inc., a United States subsidiary of Trophy S.A. ('Trophy Inc.') and the named inventor on the patent in suit, Francis Mouyen, a French citizen. The suit was brought in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York, and alleged that the Company's CDR(R)system infringes United States Patent No. 4,593,400 (the '400 patent'), which is related to the patents in the French lawsuit. Trophy S.A., Trophy Inc. and Mouyen were seeking a permanent injunction and unspecified damages, including damages for purported lost profits, enhanced damages for the Company's purported willful infringement and an award of attorney fees. In this action, the Company counter-sued Trophy S.A. and Trophy Inc. for infringement of United States Patent No. 4,160,997, an expired patent which was exclusively licensed to the Company by its inventor, Dr. Robert Schwartz, and for false advertising and unfair competition. On September 12, 1997, after having been given permission to do so by the Court, the Company served two motions for summary judgment seeking dismissal of the action pending in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York, on the grounds of non-infringement and patent invalidity. On February 22, 2000, oral argument on these motions was heard by the Court. To date, the Court has not ruled on these motions. On June 6, 2001, the parties executed an agreement for the settlement and discontinuance of these two lawsuits. Under the Settlement Agreement, all claims and counterclaims by the parties are to be dismissed with prejudice without any admission of wrongdoing by any party and each party releases the other from all claims. The terms of such Agreement are confidential. On June 11, 2001 the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York discontinued the case without costs to any party. II. In late 1998 through early 1999, nine shareholder complaints purporting to be class action lawsuits were filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York. Plaintiffs filed a Consolidated and Amended Complaint on or about May 27, 1999 and, on or about November 24, 1999, filed a Second Amended and Consolidated Complaint (the "Complaint"). The Complaint names as defendants the Company, David B. Schick, Thomas E. Rutenberg, and David Spector (collectively, the "Individual Defendants"), as well as PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP. The Complaint alleged, inter alia, that certain defendants issued false and misleading statements concerning the Company's publicly reported earnings in 11 violation of the federal securities laws. The Complaint sought certification of a class of persons who purchased the Company's Common Stock between July 1, 1997 and February 19, 1999, inclusive, and did not specify the amount of damages sought. On May 23, 2000, the Company entered into an agreement in principle with the plaintiffs for the settlement of the class action lawsuit, as reflected in a Memorandum of Understanding. On June 5, 2001, a Stipulation of Settlement was executed, under which all claims against the Company and the Individual Defendants are to be dismissed without presumption or admission of any liability or wrongdoing. The principal terms of the settlement agreement call for payment to the Plaintiffs, for the benefit of the class, of the sum of $3.4 million. The settlement amount will be paid in its entirety by the Company's insurance carrier and is not expected to have any material impact on the financial results of the Company. The settlement is subject to approval by the Court. III. In August 1999, the Company, through its outside counsel, contacted the Division of Enforcement of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") to advise it of certain matters related to the Company's restatement of earnings for interim periods of fiscal 1999. Subsequent thereto, the SEC requested the voluntary production of certain documents and the Company provided the SEC with the requested materials. On August 17, 2000, the SEC served a subpoena upon the Company, pursuant to a formal order of investigation, requiring the production of certain documents. The Company has provided the SEC with the subpoenaed materials and has cooperated fully with the SEC staff. The inquiry is in a preliminary stage and the Company cannot predict its potential outcome. The Company could become a party to a variety of legal actions (in addition to those referred to above), such as employment and employment discrimination-related suits, employee benefit claims, breach of contract actions, tort claims, shareholder suits, including securities fraud, and intellectual property related litigation. In addition, because of the nature of its business, the Company is subject to a variety of legal actions relating to its business operations. Recent court decisions and legislative activity may increase the Company's exposure for any of these types of claims. In some cases, substantial punitive damages could be sought. The Company currently has insurance coverage for some of these potential liabilities. Other potential liabilities may not be covered by insurance, insurers may dispute coverage, or the amount of insurance may not be sufficient to cover the damages awarded. In addition, 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. ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders during the quarter ended March 31, 2001. PART II ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCK HOLDER MATTERS The Company's Common Stock began trading on The Nasdaq National Market under the symbol "SCHK" on July 1, 1997. Prior to such date, there was no established public trading market for the Company's Common Stock. By letter dated September 15, 1999, the Company was advised by the Nasdaq Stock Market's Listing Qualifications Panel (the "Panel") that the Company's Common Stock would no longer be listed on the Nasdaq National Market effective with the close of business on September 15, 1999. The Panel's action was based on the Company's inability to timely file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1999 and Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 1999, as well as the revenue recognition and sales practices which had been the subject of an investigation by the Audit Committee of the Company's Board of Directors and had led to the filing delays and the need for the restatement of the Company's financial reports. The Company timely requested a review of this decision and, on May 25, 2000, the Nasdaq Listing and Hearing Review Council informed the Company of its determination to affirm the Panel's decision. Since the delisting of the Company's Common Stock, there has been no established trading market for such stock, which has been trading in the 12 over-the-counter market. The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the high and low sales prices of the Company's Common Stock, as quoted on The Nasdaq National Market through September 15, 1999, and the high and low closing bid prices of the Company's Common Stock in the over-the-counter market, as reported on the "pink sheets" published by Pink Sheets LLC (formerly known as National Quotation Bureau LLC),commencing September 16, 1999. Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2000 High Low - -------------------------------- ------ ----- First Quarter 5.75 2.438 Second Quarter (through 9/15/99 delisting) 2.875 1.75 Second Quarter (commencing 9/16/99) .625 .50 Third Quarter 1.50 .375 Fourth Quarter 2.625 1.00 Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2001 High Low - -------------------------------- ------ ----- First Quarter 2.625 1.25 Second Quarter 1.625 1.15 Third Quarter 1.30 .40 Fourth Quarter 1.15 .42 On July 12, 2001, the closing bid and asked prices per share of the Company's Common Stock in the over-the-counter market, as reported on the "pink sheets" published by Pink Sheets LLC, were $0.95 and $1.05 per share, respectively. Such prices represent quotations between dealers, without dealer mark-up, mark-down or commission, and may not represent actual transactions. On May 31, 2001, there were 189 holders of record of the Company's Common Stock. However, the Company believes that the number of beneficial owners of such stock is substantially higher. To date, the Company has not paid any dividends on its Common Stock. The Company currently intends to retain future earnings to finance the growth and development of the Company's business and does not anticipate paying any dividends in the foreseeable future. The payment of dividends is within the discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend upon the Company's earnings, its capital requirements, financial condition and other relevant factors. ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA The following selected financial data are derived from, and are qualified by reference to, the audited financial statements of the Company for the period indicated.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Report. This discussion contains forward-looking statements based on current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results and the timing of certain events may differ significantly from those projected in such forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including those set forth in "Results of Operations" in this Item and elsewhere in this Report. See "ITEM 1 - Business -- Forward-Looking Statements" and Exhibit 99 to this Report. Overview The Company designs, develops and manufactures digital imaging systems for the dental and medical markets. In the field of dentistry, the Company has developed and currently manufactures and markets an intra-oral digital radiography system. The Company has also developed a bone mineral density assessment device to assist in the diagnosis and treatment of osteoporosis, which was introduced in December 1997. The Company has also commenced development of a general digital radiography device for intended use in various applications. The Company's revenues during fiscal 2001 were derived primarily from sales of its CDR(R) and accuDEXA(R) products. The Company recognizes revenue on sales of its products at the time of shipment to its customers and when no significant vendor obligations exist and collectibility is probable. Revenues from the sales of extended warranties are recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of the extended warranty, which is generally a one-year period. The Company utilizes both a direct sales force and a limited number of distributors for sales of its products within the United States. Effective May 1, 2000, the Company entered into an exclusive distribution agreement with Patterson Dental Company and terminated its existing domestic dealer arrangements and reduced its direct sales force. International sales are made primarily through a network of independent foreign distributors. In fiscal 2001, 2000 and 1999, sales to customers within the United States were approximately 62%, 68% and 87% of total revenues, respectively. The Company's international sales are made primarily to distributors in Europe, Australia and South America. The Company intends to expand its business in other international markets, including Asia. All of the Company's sales are denominated in United States dollars. Costs of sales consists of raw materials and computer components, manufacturing labor, facilities overhead, product support, warranty costs and installation costs. The Company procures its APS and CCD semiconductor wafers, a significant component of its products, each from a single supplier. The Company believes that sourcing from a single supplier provides certain competitive advantages to the Company. 14 Excess and obsolete inventory expense relates to the overstocking or obsolescence of various dies and/or obsolete X-Ray inventory that the Company may not use or otherwise salvage. Operating expenses include selling and marketing expenses, general and administrative expenses and research and development expenses, and bad debt expense. Selling and marketing expenses consist of salaries and commissions, advertising, promotional and sales events and travel. General and administrative expenses include executive salaries, professional fees, facilities, overhead, accounting, human resources, and general office administration expenses. Research and development expenses are comprised of salaries, consulting fees, facilities overhead and testing materials used for basic scientific research and the development of new and improved products and their uses. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Development costs are expensed as incurred. Bad debt expense is a result of product shipments that were determined to be uncollectible or not collected. Bad debt benefit is a result of the recovery, in cash, of shipments previously deemed uncollectible. Results Of Operations The following table sets forth, for the fiscal years indicated, certain items from the Statement of Operations expressed as a percentage of net revenues: Year ended March 31, -------------------- 2001 2000 1999 ---- ---- ---- Revenue, net 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% ------ ------ ------ Cost of sales 45.8% 70.0% 75.9% Excess and obsolete inventory 2.7% 4.1% 12.0% ---- ---- ----- Total cost of sales 48.5% 74.1% 87.9% ----- ----- ----- Gross profit 51.5% 25.9% 12.1% Operating expenses: Selling and marketing 25.0% 34.7% 40.4% General and administrative 19.6% 33.4% 16.1% Research and development 10.4% 12.9% 9.5% Bad debt expense (benefit) (2.1)% 0.0% 12.3% Abandonment of leasehold 1.3% 0.0% 0.0% ---- ---- ---- Total operating costs 54.2% 81.0% 78.3% ----- ----- ----- Operating loss -2.7% -55.1% -66.2% Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2001 as Compared to Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2000 Net revenues decreased $0.7 million (3.4%) to $21.3 million in fiscal 2001 from $22.0 million in fiscal 2000. The revenue decline is due to lower sales of the CDR(R) dental radiography product and accuDEXA (R) bone mineral density assessment device, offset in part by higher sales of CDR(R) warranties. CDR(R) sales declined $1.7 million (9.8%) to $15.7 million from $17.4 million during fiscal 2000. The Company believes that this decline was due to the Company's consolidation of its sales channels in North America in May 2000. At that time, the Company ceased selling the CDR(R) product line through a combination of its direct sales force and non-exclusive-dealer network and entered into an exclusive distribution agreement with Patterson Dental Company ("Patterson"). This agreement grants Patterson exclusive rights to distribute the Company's dental products in the United States and Canada, with the Company retaining direct relationships for hospitals, universities and governmental agencies. The Company believes that the establishment and phasing-in of this new distribution channel resulted in lower CDR(R) sales as the Patterson sales force became familiar with the CDR(R) product line. CDR(R) warranty revenue increased $2.9 million (200.5%) to $4.4 million from $1.5 million during fiscal 15 2000. The Company believes that this increase was due primarily to improvements made in the implementation of its product warranty programs, including policy enforcement and timely notification of warranty-coverage expirations. AccuDEXA(R) sales declined $1.9 million (73.7%) to $0.7 million from $2.6 million during fiscal 2000. The Company believes that this decline resulted from its discontinuing direct accuDEXA(R) sales during fiscal 2001. The Company is currently reintroducing accuDEXA(R) via a network of manufacturer's representatives. Total cost of sales decreased $6.0 million (36.6%) to $10.3 million (48.6% of net revenues) in fiscal 2001 from $16.3 million (74.1% of net revenues) in fiscal 2000. The total cost of sales decreased due to lower direct and indirect labor costs, warranty expenditures, material costs and overhead costs as a result of lower levels of product discounting, decreased provision for excess and obsolete inventory, increased manufacturing efficiency and an improved rate of recovery of warranty replacement inventory from customers. Selling and marketing expenses decreased $2.3 million (30.4%) to $5.3 million (25.0% of net revenues) in fiscal 2001 from $7.6 million (34.7% of net revenues) in fiscal 2000. This decrease is principally due to a reduction in the Company's direct sales force and reduction in other promotional and trade show expenses principally as a result of the Patterson distribution agreement. General and administrative expenses decreased $3.1 million (43.2%) to $4.2 million (19.6% of net revenues) in fiscal 2001 from $7.3 million (33.4% of net revenues) in fiscal 2000. The decrease in general and administrative expenses was primarily attributable to a decrease in payroll and professional fees. Research and development expenses decreased $0.6 million (21.6%) to $2.2 million (10.4% of net revenues) in fiscal 2001 from $2.8 million (12.9% of net revenues) in fiscal 2000. This decrease was principally attributable to decreased payroll and a decrease in related costs due to a reduction in materials purchased. All research and development costs are expensed as incurred. In March 2001 the lease for a portion of the Company's premises expired. The cost of leasehold improvements for the remaining premises, approximately $0.5 million, will be amortized over the remaining six-year life of the lease. The unamortized cost of leasehold improvements associated with the portion of the former premises ($0.3 million) has been charged to operations. Interest expense increased $0.2 million in fiscal 2001 from $0.9 million in fiscal 2000 due to the cost of increased borrowing provided by DVI Financial Services Inc. and term note financing arrangements provided by Greystone Funding Corporation's secured credit facility. As a result of the above items, the loss for the year ended March 31, 2001 was $1.6 million as compared to a loss of $12.3 million for the period ending March 31, 2000. Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2000 as Compared to Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 1999 Net revenues decreased 51.8% to $22.0 million in fiscal 2000 from $45.6 million in fiscal 1999. The revenue decline is due to lower sales of the Company's CDR(R) dental product and accuDEXA(R) bone mineral density assessment device. Fiscal 2000 revenues were reduced due to a reduction of marketing activity for the Company's products, reduction of credit granting to select dealers, hospitals, universities and governmental agencies and, the Company believes, by the negative perception that existed in the marketplace concerning the Company's viability and long-term ability to upgrade and service its products. The rate of return in fiscal 2000 for the Company's CDR and accuDEXA (R) products decreased significantly to 4.3% of gross sales in fiscal 2000 from 28.6% of gross sales in fiscal 1999. The decreased return rate for the CDR is believed to be attributable to several factors including the resolution of certain technical problems in transitioning its CDR product line from CCD sensors to APS sensors. Second, the Company's single user CDR System requires minimal installation. Commencing in September 1998, the Company initiated a program in coordination with its computer supplier, in which the supplier installed all single-user CDR Systems. As a result of logistical problems in implementing this program, the supplier's installations experienced significant 16 delays, which led to a higher than normal rate of return for single user systems shipped in this period. Starting in January 1999, the Company resumed direct management of its single user CDR installations. The Company also experienced a higher than normal rate of returns of accuDEXA units. The Company believes that these returns are due to several factors, including the following: First, early shipments of accuDEXA experienced a higher than expected failure rate due to several reasons, including shipping damage, as well as humidity and temperature sensitivity of several components included in the initial design of the product. The Company took steps to address these problems and believes that failure rates relating to such damage and sensitivity have dropped significantly. In this regard, the Company currently expects to implement a number of additional improvements to accuDEXA, to further increase reliability, in the first half of fiscal 2001. Second, the Company initiated a change in its sales policy that affected accuDEXA sales made from May 1998 through November 1998. During that time, the Company waived its customary 10% deposit, which it had charged to customers prior to shipment of goods. In December 1998, the Company changed its credit policy, requiring prepayment from non-dealer customers. Total cost of sales decreased 59.4% to $16.3 million (74.1% of net revenues) in fiscal 2000 from $40.1 million (87.9% of net revenues) in fiscal 1999. The total cost of sales is decreased due to lower direct and indirect labor costs, warranty expenditures, material costs, royalty costs and overhead costs as a result of decreased revenues and a decrease in the provision for excess and obsolete inventory. The decrease in the provision for excess and obsolete inventory from 1999 to 2000 is primarily attributable to the obsolescence of inventory in the third and fourth quarter of 1999 due to the introduction of the new APS sensors. In January 1999, in an effort to streamline operations and reduce expenses, and as a result of more efficient manufacturing processes and a higher rate of outsourcing, the Company reduced its direct manufacturing labor force from 101 to 64 employees and relocated the operations of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Schick X-Ray, Corp. from its facility in Roebling, New Jersey to the Company's headquarters in Long Island City, New York. In August 1999, Schick X-Ray was dissolved and its operations absorbed by the Company. Selling and marketing expenses decreased 58.6% to $7.6 million (34.7% of net revenues) in fiscal 2000 from $18.4 million (40.4% of net revenues) in fiscal 1999. This decrease is due to decreased selling expenses in the CDR and accuDEXA product lines, trade show expenses and other marketing expenses as a result of decreased revenues. Additionally, the Company reduced its direct sales force and associated overhead expenses as a result of decreased revenues. General and administrative expenses remained at $7.3 million, 33.3% of net revenues in fiscal 2000 and 16.1% of net revenues in fiscal 1999. However, general and administrative expenses increased as a percent of sales primarily due to an increase in professional services rendered in connection with the restatement of the Company's interim financial statements for fiscal 1999. This increase was partially offset by decreases in payroll and related costs. Research and development expenses decreased 35.0% to $2.8 million (12.9% of net revenues) in fiscal 2000 from $4.4 million (9.5% of net revenues) in fiscal 1999. This decrease was largely attributable to decreased payroll and related costs due to a reduction in personnel partially offset by an increase in test services and supply expenses. All research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Bad debt expenses were $9 thousand in fiscal 2000 compared to $5.6 million (12.3% of net revenues) in fiscal 1999. The Company believes that the decrease is attributable to the Company's tightened credit policy as described above. Interest income decreased to $.1 million in fiscal 2000 from $.5 million in fiscal 1999 due to the utilization of cash balances and investments in short-term interest-bearing securities in support of the Company's operating deficiencies. Interest expense increased to $.9 million in fiscal 2000 from $.3 million in fiscal 1999 due to the cost of financing provided by DVI Financial Services Inc. under the Company's Capital Lease and term note financing arrangements and by Greystone Funding Corporation's secured credit facility. 17 Liquidity and Capital Resources At March 31, 2001, the Company had $2.2 million in cash and cash equivalents and working capital deficiency of $1.6 million compared to $1.4 million in cash and cash equivalents and $0.8 million in working capital at March 31, 2000. The decrease in working capital is primarily attributable to current maturity of long term debt, collection of accounts receivable and reduction of inventory. During fiscal 2001 cash provided by operations was $1.2 million compared to $2.1 million used in operations during fiscal 2000. Increases in cash were primarily provided by improved operating performance. Accounts receivable decreased to $1.0 million at March 31, 2001 compared to $1.5 million at March 31, 2000 due to improved collections and restricted credit granting to select dealers, hospitals, universities and governmental agencies. Inventories decreased to $3.8 million at March 31, 2001 compared to $5.6 million at March 31, 2000 due to the Company's planned reduction of inventory levels. The Company's capital expenditures increased $0.1 million in fiscal 2001 from $0.2 million in fiscal 2000. Fiscal 2001 expenditures included leasehold improvements, computers and production equipment. DVI Financial Services, Inc. ("DVI") has provided the Company with financing evidenced by notes payable for $6.6 million which are secured by first priority liens on substantially all of the Company's assets. The Company issued promissory notes (amended in June 2000)(the "DVI Notes") and security agreements that provide, in part, that the Company may not permit the creation of any additional lien or encumbrance on the Company's property or assets. The DVI Notes are due in varying installments through fiscal 2006. Interest is paid monthly at the prime rate (8% at March 31, 2001) plus 2.5%. In connection with the DVI Notes, the Company granted DVI 650,000 warrants at an exercise price of $2.19 per share. In connection with the amended DVI Notes, the warrants' exercise price was reduced to $.75 and the expiration date extended to December 2006. In connection with the DVI loan, the Company prepaid $750K of outstanding principal during the first quarter of fiscal 2002. As of July 12, 2001, the outstanding principal balance of the DVI loan is $5.3 million, subject to periodic prepayment in accordance with the terms of the loan documents. In December 1999, the Company entered into a Loan Agreement (the "Loan Agreement") with Greystone Funding Corporation ("Greystone") to provide up to $7.5 million of subordinated debt in the form of a secured credit facility. Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, and to induce Greystone to enter into said Agreement, the Company issued to Greystone and its designees, warrants to purchase 3,000,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock at an exercise price of $.75 per share. The Company agreed to issue Greystone additional warrants to purchase 2,000,000 shares at an exercise price of $.75 per share in connection with a cash payment of $1 million by Greystone to the Company in consideration of a sale of Photobit stock by the Company to Greystone. The sale of the Photobit stock was made subject to a right of first refusal held by Photobit and it founders. By letter dated February 17, 2000, counsel for Photobit informed the Company that Photobit considers the Company's sale of its shares to Greystone to be void on the basis of the Company's purported failure to properly comply with Photobit's right of first refusal. On March 17, 2000, the Company and Greystone entered into an Amended and Restated Loan Agreement effective as of December 17, 1999 (the "Amended loan Agreement"), which amended and restated the Loan Agreement, pursuant to which Greystone agreed to provide up to $7.5 million of subordinated debt in the form of a secured credit facility. The $1 million cash payment to the Company was converted as of December 27, 1999 into an initial advance of $1 million under the Amended Loan Agreement. Pursuant to the Amended Loan Agreement and to induce Greystone to enter into said Agreement, the Company issued warrants to Greystone and its designees, consisting of those warrants previously issued under the Loan Agreement and Photobit stock sale arrangement, to purchase 5,000,0000 shares of the Company's Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.75 per share, exercisable at any time after December 27, 1999. Under the Amended Loan Agreement, the Company also issued to Greystone or its designees warrants (the "Additional Warrants") to purchase an additional 13,000,000 shares of common stock, which Additional Warrants will vest and be exercisable at a rate of two shares of Common Stock for each dollar advanced under the Amended Loan Agreement in excess of the initial draw of $1 million. Any additional warrants which do not vest prior to expiration or surrender of the line of credit will be forfeited and canceled. In connection with the Greystone secured credit 18 facility, effective February 15, 2000, DVI consented to the Company's grant to Greystone of a second priority lien encumbering the Company's assets, under and subject in priority and right of payment to all liens granted by the Company to DVI. Effective August 28, 2000, DVI sold all its right, title and interest in, to and under the warrants and DVI Notes, as described above, to Greystone. By letter dated October 11, 2000, DVI directed the Company to make all remaining payments due under the DVI Notes directly to Greystone. No additional funds have been advanced under the Amended Loan Agreement in excess of the initial draw of $1 million. On July 5, 2001, the Company remitted payment to Greystone in the amount of $1.05 million, repaying all outstanding advances under the Greystone Amended Loan Agreement, together with all unpaid accrued interest thereunder, and concurrently terminated said Amended Loan Agreement. Approximately $423 representing the unamortized discount and deferred financing costs relating to the Amended Loan Agreement will be charged to expense in July 2001. On July 12, 2001, the Company and Greystone entered into a Termination Agreement effective as of March 31, 2001, acknowledging the repayment and termination of the Amended Loan Agreement and agreeing that all of the Company's obligations thereunder have been fully satisfied. The Company and Greystone further agreed, among other matters, that: (i)five million warrants held by Greystone and its assigns to purchase Common Stock of the Company remain in full force and effect; (ii) the Registration Rights Agreement between Greystone and the Company dated as of December 27, 1999 remains in full force and effect; and (iii) for so long as Jeffrey Slovin holds the office of President of the Company, the Company shall reimburse Greystone in the amount of $17 thousand monthly. In July 2001, a Director of the Company made a commitment to make an equity investment in the Company in the minimum amount of $1 million, subject to the approval and acceptance of the Company's Board of Directors. Effective May 1, 2000 the Company entered into an exclusive distribution agreement with Patterson Dental Company ("Patterson"). Under the terms of this agreement the Company discontinued all direct domestic sales of its dental products, with the exception of those to governmental agencies and universities. As a result of the agreement, the Company further reduced its sales force. Remaining domestic sales representatives have become manufacturer representatives charged with support of the Patterson sales effort. The Company terminated all existing dealer agreements including its agreement with Henry Schein, Inc. In fiscal 2001, the Company entered into several foreign distributorship agreements. The Company believes that its cost reductions, refinancing and new sales arrangement should permit the Company to generate sufficient working capital to meet its obligations as they mature. The ability of the Company to meet its cash requirements is dependent, in part, on the Company's ability to attain adequate sales and profit levels and to satisfy its existing warranty obligations without incurring expenses substantially in excess of related warranty revenue and to collect its accounts receivable on a timely basis. Management believes that existing capital resources are adequate to meet its current cash requirements. However, if the Company's cash needs are greater than anticipated , the Company will be required to seek additional or alternative financing sources. There can be no assurance that such financing will be available or available on terms acceptable to the Company. ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK The DVI Notes bear an annual interest rate based on the prime rate plus 2.5%, provided however, that if any payments to DVI are past due for more than 60 days, interest will thereafter accrue at the prime rate plus 5.5%. Because the interest rate is variable, the Company's cash flow may be adversely affected by increases in interest rates. Management does not, however, believe that any risk inherent in the variable-rate nature of the loan is likely to have a material effect on the Company's interest expense or available cash. ITEM 8.

Mr. Raskin was also awarded 75,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock, subject to a risk of forfeiture which expires as to 25,000 shares on each of December 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002. Upon the sale of any such vested shares, Mr. Raskin is required to pay the Company the sum of 23 $1.32 per share sold within 30 days following such sale. In the event that Mr. Raskin is terminated from employment with the Company without cause, he would receive 12 months of severance pay. In January 2000, the Company entered into two-year employment agreement with Michael Stone, pursuant to which Mr. Stone was employed as the Company's Vice President of Sales and Marketing until September 2000 and is currently employed as the Company's Executive Vice President. Mr. Stone's annual base salary is $175,000. In addition to base salary, Mr. Stone is eligible to receive an annual performance bonus tied to 0.5% of the Company's earnings before income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Pursuant to the Agreement, Mr. Stone also received 75,000 employee stock options. In the event that Mr. Stone is terminated from employment with the Company without cause, he would receive 6 months of severance pay and immediate vesting of 50% of all unvested Company stock options. Additionally, all unvested Company stock options held by Mr. Stone will immediately vest in the event that the Company has a change of management control. In December 1999, the Company entered into a 2-year employment agreement with William Rogers, pursuant to which Mr. Rogers serves as the Company's Vice President of Operations. Mr. Rogers' annual base salary is $135,000. Pursuant to the Agreement, Mr. Rogers is also to be awarded 25,000 employee stock options which shall immediately vest in the event that the Company has a change in control or is acquired by, merged into or consolidated with another entity. Compensation of Directors Directors who are also paid-employees of the Company are not separately compensated for any services they provide as directors. In fiscal 2001, each director of the Company who is not a paid-employee was eligible to receive $500 for each meeting of the Board of Directors attended and $300 for each committee meeting attended. The Company may, but did not, pay such fees in Common Stock.

F-5 Schick Technologies, Inc. and Subsidiary Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Amounts In thousands, except share and per share amounts) 1. Organization and Business Schick Technologies, Inc. (the "Company") designs, develops, manufactures and markets innovative digital radiographic imaging systems and devices for the dental and medical markets that utilize low dosage radiation to produce instant computer generated, high-resolution, electronic x-ray images. The Company's products are sold worldwide. The Company operates in one reportable segment - digital radiographic imaging systems. The Company's principal products include the CDR (R) computed digital radiography imaging system and the accuDEXA (R) bone densitometer. The following is a summary of the Company's revenues from its principal products: % Of Total Revenue 2001 2000 1999 ---- ---- ---- CDR 97% 88% 71% AccuDEXA 3% 12% 29% ---- ---- ---- 100% 100% 100% ==== ==== ==== The consolidated financial statements of the Company at March 31, 2001, include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Schick New York. In August 1999, Schick X-Ray Corporation was dissolved and its operations absorbed by the Company. 2. Liquidity The Company incurred net losses of $1,638, $12,331 and $29,606 in the years ended March 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively, and has an accumulated deficit of $42,770 and working capital deficiency of $951 at March 31, 2001. In response to the losses incurred, management has implemented certain corrective actions, which include, but are not limited to, (1) reducing staff, space and other overhead expenditures, (2) curtailing certain sales promotions, (3) tightening credit policies and payment terms, (4) aggressively collecting past-due balances from customers, (5) consolidating and reducing its sales force, by entering into new distribution agreements, (6) implementing programs to increase warranty revenue and recover warranty costs from the Company's customers, (7) employing new senior management including an Executive Vice President who directly oversees the Company's sales and marketing efforts, (8) improving inventory yields and disposing of excess and obsolete inventory, and (9) modifying and improving the Company's products to improve reliability and reduce warranty expenditures. Additionally, the Company has taken the following steps to improve operations and provide for adequate resources to fund the Company's capital needs for the next twelve months. o In April 2000, the Company entered into an exclusive distributorship agreement with Patterson Dental Company, which grants Patterson the rights to distribute the Company's dental products in the United States and Canada. o In May 2000, the Company entered into an agreement, subject to court approval, for the settlement of a class action lawsuit against the Company. The Company's insurance carrier will pay the settlement amount in its entirety. (See Note 12). o In June 2000, the Company renegotiated a $ 6.2 million term note payable increasing the principal balance to $ 6.6 (refinancing certain trade payables on a long term basis), eliminating principal payments through January 2001 and extending the maturity date from March 2001 to April 2005. o In July 2001, a Director of the Company made a commitment to make an equity investment in the Company in the minimum amount of $1 million, subject to the approval and acceptance of the Company's Board of Directors. F-6 o In fiscal 2001, the Company entered into several foreign distributorship agreements. In view of the matters described in the preceding paragraphs, management believes the Company has the ability to meet its financing requirements on a continuing basis. However, if the Company's fiscal 2002 planned cash flow projections are not met, management could consider the reduction of certain discretionary expenses and sale of certain assets. In the event that these plans are not sufficient and the Company's credit facilities are not available, the Company's ability to operate could be adversely affected. 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Cash equivalents Cash equivalents consist of short-term, highly liquid investments, with original maturities of less than three months when purchased and are stated at cost. Short-Term Investments Investments with original maturities greater than three months and less than one year when purchased are classified as short-term investments. Investments are categorized as held-to-maturity and are carried at amortized cost, without recognition of gains or losses that are deemed to be temporary, as the Company has both the intent and the ability to hold these investments until they mature (see Note 7). Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (determined on a first-in, first-out basis) or market value. Cost is determined principally on the standard cost method for manufactured goods and on the average cost method for other inventories, each of which approximates actual cost on the first-in, first-out method. Equipment Equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization are provided on the straight-line method over the lesser of the estimated useful lives of the related assets or, where appropriate, the lease term. Revenue Recognition Revenues from sales of the Company's hardware and software products are recognized at the time of shipment to customers, and when no significant obligations exist and collectibility is probable. The Company provides its customers with a 30-day return policy but allows for an additional 15 days, and, accordingly, recognizes allowances for estimated returns by customers pursuant to such policy at the time of shipment. The Company defers revenue shipped to its exclusive domestic distributor, Patterson Dental Company, ("Patterson") until Patterson delivers such inventory to its customer. During 1999, due to various operational issues, the Company accepted product returns for products shipped during 1999 beyond the standard return policy. The Company has recognized allowances at March 31, 1999 for estimated returns by customers pursuant to the extended return period. Amounts received from customers in F-7 advance of product shipment are classified as deposits from customers. Revenues from the sale of extended warranties on the Company's products are recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of the extended warranty, which is generally for a one-year period. Deferred revenues relate to extended warranty fees, which have been paid by customers prior to the performance of extended warranty services, and to certain shipments to Patterson described above. Advertising Costs Advertising costs included in selling and marketing expenses are expensed as incurred and were $851, $580, $1,494, for the years-ended March 31,2001, 2000, and 1999, respectively. Warranties The Company provides its customers with a limited product warranty for a period of one year subsequent to the sale of its products. The Company recognizes estimated costs associated with the limited warranty at the time of sale of its products. Research and Development Research and development costs consist of expenditures covering basic scientific research and the application of scientific advances to the development of new and improved products and their uses. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Software development costs for external use software incurred after the establishment of technological feasibility are capitalized and amortized to cost of revenues on a straight-line basis over the expected useful life of the software. Software development costs incurred prior to the attainment of technological feasibility are considered research and development and are expensed as incurred. Costs of software developed for internal use incurred during the development of the application are capitalized and amortized to operating expense on a straight-line basis over the expected useful life of the software. The Company did not capitalize any software development costs during 2001, 2000 and 1999. Income Taxes Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred income taxes are recorded for temporary differences between financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect the tax rates expected to be in effect for the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is provided if it is more likely than not that some or the entire deferred tax asset will not be realized. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and debt approximates fair value due to the relatively short maturity associated with its cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable and the interest rates associated with its debt. Long-lived Assets Long-lived assets and intangibles are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the assets to the future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Reclassifications Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. 4. Loss Per Share Basic earnings per share ("Basic EPS") are computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share ("Diluted EPS") gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. F-8 The computation of Diluted EPS does not assume conversion, exercise or contingent exercise of securities that would have an antidilutive effect on earnings. The computations of basic and diluted loss per share are equal for the years ended March 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999 as all potential shares are antidilutive. At March 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, outstanding options to purchase 1,046,807, 992,605 and 591,958 shares of common stock, respectively at exercise prices, ranging from $0.50 to $27.72 per share in fiscal 2001, $1.00 to $27.72 in fiscal 2000 and $1.79 to $27.72 in fiscal 1999, have been excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share as they are antidilutive. Outstanding warrants to purchase 5,650,000 shares of common stock with exercise prices of $0.75 per share were also antidilutive and excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share at March 31, 2001 and 2000. As of March 31, 2001 outstanding warrants to purchase 13 million shares of common stock with an exercise price of $0.75 have been excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share because conditions for vesting and exercise have not been met and are antidilutive (see Note 9). 5. Inventories Inventories at March 31, 2001 and 2000, net of provisions for excess and obsolete inventories, are comprised of the following: 2001 2000 ------- ------- Raw materials $3,046 $ 3,651 Work-in-process 119 39 Finished goods 655 1,922 ------- ------- Total inventories $3,820 $5,612 ======= ======= 6. Equipment Equipment at March 31, 2001 and 2000 is comprised of the following: 2001 2000 ------- ------- Production equipment $5 105 $ 5,007 Computer and communications equipment 2,183 2,106 Demonstration equipment 928 860 Leasehold improvements 1,301 1,898 Other equipment 122 121 ------- ------- Total equipment 9,639 9,992 Less - accumulated depreciation and amortization 6,150 4,786 ------- ------- Equipment, net $ 3,489 $ 5,206 ======== ======== At March 31, 2001 and 2000, computer equipment included approximately $199 of equipment acquired under capital leases. Accumulated depreciation related to these assets approximated $171 and $83 at March 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. 7. Investments in Debt Securities Held-to-maturity securities at March 31, 2001 and 2000 consist of short-term U.S. Treasury and government agency debt securities of $8, on an amortized cost basis, with maturity dates of less than one year. The gross unrealized gains and losses at March 31, 2001 and 2000 on held-to-maturity securities were insignificant. 8. Accounts payable and accrued expenses Accounts payable and accrued expenses is summarized as follows at March 31, 2001 and 2000: F-9 2001 2000 ------- ------- Legal and other professional fees $ 420 $ 863 Accounts payable and accrued expenses 1,381 3,422 ------- ------- $ 1,801 $ 4,285 ======= ======= 9. Debt Long-term debt is summarized as follows at March 31, 2001 and 2000: 2001 2000 ------- ------- Term notes $ 6,296 $ 6,596 Secured credit facility 635 587 ------- ------- 6,931 7,183 Less current maturities 2,851 245 ------- ------- $ 4,080 $ 6,938 ======= ======= Secured Term Notes In June 2000, the Company amended its secured term note with DVI Financial Services, Inc. ("DVI") increasing its principal balance to $6,596 ("the amended note"). The term note was originally issued in March 1999 for $5,000 and renewed in July 1999 for $6,222 (the "renewed note"). The increase in the principal amounts resulted from the conversion of certain trade payables owed to the lender into the principal balance of the notes. The amended note is segregated into two term loans; Term Loan A amounting to $5,000 and Term Loan B amounting to $1,596. Term Loan A The principal balance of term loan A is payable in 49 monthly payments commencing April 15, 2001, with interest payable monthly at the prime rate plus 2.5%. Term Loan B The principal balance of term loan B is payable in 27 monthly payments which commenced January 15, 2001 with interest payable monthly at the prime rate plus 2.5%. The Company is also required to make additional principal payments equal to fifty percent of the "positive actual cash flow", as defined. In April 2001 the Company agreed to make a prepayment of $750 in satisfaction of this provision. Such payment is classified in current loan maturities. The tangible and intangible assets of the Company, as defined, collateralize the term loans. In connection with the renewed note, the Company granted the lender 650,000 warrants at an exercise price of $2.19 expiring on November 15, 2004. The fair value of the warrants amounted to $596, and is being accounted for as deferred financing costs. The costs are, included in "Other Assets" in the accompanying balance sheet and are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the renewed note (17 months). In connection with the amended note, the warrants' exercise price was reduced to $.75 and the expiration date extended to December 2006. Additional deferred financing costs of $130 were incurred and are being amortized over the five-year life of the amended note. Interest expense of approximately $176 and $170 relating to this warrants issuance was recognized for the year ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Effective August 28, 2000, the lender sold all its rights, title and interest in, to and under the warrants, notes payable and security agreement as described above, to the Company's other secured creditor (Greystone). By letter dated October 11, 2000, the lender directed the Company to make all remaining payments due for the notes payable directly to Greystone. F-10 Secured Credit Facility In December 1999, the Company entered into a Loan Agreement (the "Loan Agreement") with Greystone Funding Corporation ("Greystone") to provide up to $7.5 million of subordinated debt in the form of a secured credit facility. Under the Loan Agreement, the Company appointed two of Greystone's executive officers, one as President of the Company and both as Directors. Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, and to induce Greystone to enter into said Agreement, the Company issued to Greystone, or its designees, warrants to purchase 3,000,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.75 per share. The President of the Company has been issued 750,000 warrants as a Greystone designee. The Company agreed to issue to Greystone or its designees warrants to purchase an additional 2,000,000 shares at an exercise price of $0.75 per share in connection with a cash payment of $1 million by Greystone to the Company in consideration of a sale of Photobit stock by the Company to Greystone. The sale of the Photobit stock was made subject to a right of first refusal held by Photobit and its founders. By letter dated February 17, 2000, counsel for Photobit informed the Company that Photobit considers the Company's sale of its shares to Greystone to be void on the basis of the Company's purported failure to properly comply with Photobit's right of first refusal. On March 17, 2000, the Company and Greystone entered into an Amended and Restated Loan Agreement effective as of December 27, 1999 (the "Amended Loan Agreement") pursuant to which Greystone agreed to provide up to $7.5 million of subordinated debt in the form of a secured credit facility. The $1 million cash payment to the Company was converted as of December 27, 1999 into an initial advance of $1 million under the Amended Loan Agreement. Pursuant to the Amended Loan Agreement, and to induce Greystone, and its designees, to enter into said Agreement, the Company issued warrants to Greystone or its designees, consisting of those warrants previously issued under the Loan Agreement, to purchase 5,000,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.75 per share, exercisable at any time after December 27, 1999. Under the Amended Loan Agreement, the Company also issued to Greystone (or its designees) warrants (the "Additional Warrants") to purchase an additional 13,000,000 shares of common stock, which Additional Warrants will vest and be exercisable at a rate of two shares of Common Stock for each dollar advanced under the Amended Loan Agreement in excess of the initial draw of $1,000,000. Any additional warrants, which do not vest prior to expiration or surrender of the line of credit, will be forfeited and canceled. In connection with the Greystone secured credit facility, effective as of February 15, 2000, DVI consented to the Company's grant to Greystone of a second priority lien encumbering the Company's assets, under and subject in priority and right of payment to all liens granted by the Company to DVI. The $1 million proceeds of the initial draw has been allocated to the loan and 15 million warrants issued, based upon their relative fair values at issuance. The carrying value of the note of $575 is being accreted to the face value of the $1 million using the interest method over the seven-year term of the loan. However, in the event that the loan is paid sooner, the Company will recognize a charge for the unamortized discount remaining in such period. The fair value of 3 million warrants issued in connection with the agreement, amounting to $90, is being accounted for as deferred financing cost. This cost, included in "Other Assets" in the accompanying balance sheet, is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the five-year life of the loan. Interest under the credit line is due monthly at an annual rate of 10% until December 2004 when the outstanding loan is due to be repaid. The secured term notes and secured credit facility are subject to various financial and restrictive covenants including, among others, interest coverage, current ratio, and EBITDA. On July 5, 2001, the Company repaid all outstanding advances under the Greystone Amended Loan Agreement, together with all unpaid accrued interest thereunder ($1.05 million), and concurrently terminated said Amended Loan Agreement. Approximately $423 representing the unamortized discount and deferred financing costs relating to the Amended Loan Agreement will be charged to expense in July 2001. On July 12, 2001, the Company and Greystone entered into a Termination Agreement effective as of March 31, 2001, acknowledging the repayment and surrender of the line of credit and agreeing that all the Company's obligations thereunder have been fully satisfied. The Company and Greystone further agreed, among other matters, that: (i)five million warrants held by Greystone and its assigns to purchase Common Stock of the Company remain in full force and effect; (ii) the Registration Rights Agreement between Greystone and the Company dated F-11 as of December 27, 1999 remains in full force and effect; and (iii) for so long as Jeffrey Slovin holds the office of President of the Company, the Company shall reimburse Greystone in the amount of $17 monthly. Principal maturities of long-term debt are as follows: Year ending March 31, --------------------- 2002 $3,216 2003 1,664 2004 1,189 2005 1,227 ------ $7,296 ====== 10. Income Taxes The components of the Company's (benefit) provision for income taxes is as follows: March 31 -------- 2001 2000 1999 ----- ----- ----- Current: Federal $-- $-- $(531) State -- -- (170) ----- ----- ----- -- -- (701) ----- ----- ----- Deferred: Federal -- -- 282 State -- -- 67 ----- ----- ----- -- -- 349 ----- ----- ----- $-- $-- $(352) ===== ===== ===== The reconciliation between the U.S. federal statutory rate and the Company's effective tax rate is as follows: March 31 2001 2000 1999 ----- ----- ----- Tax benefit at Federal statutory rate (34.0)% (34.0)% (34.0)% State income tax expense (benefit), net of Federal tax (8.1) (8.1) (0.2) Non-deductible expenses 0.7 0.5 16.7 Research and development tax credit 5.0 1.5 0.8 Net operating loss and credits generated in the current year in which there is no benefit 36.4 40.1 15.6 ----- ----- ----- Effective tax rate --% --% (1.1)% ===== ===== ===== Significant components of the Company's deferred tax assets (liabilities) at March 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999 were as follows: 2001 2000 1999 -------- -------- -------- Net operating loss carryforwards $15,638 $ 11,218 $ 5,701 Reserves and allowances for inventory 1,400 2,947 2,702 Accounts receivable and warranties 2,182 2,360 3,488 Tax credit carryforwards 1,305 962 -- Depreciation and other 663 (192) (445) Other 114 328 409 -------- -------- -------- 21,302 17,623 11,855 Valuation allowance (21,302) (17,623) (11,855) -------- -------- -------- Net deferred tax asset $-- $-- $-- ======== ======== ======== F-12 Management has established a full valuation allowance for the amount of the deferred tax asset based on uncertainties with respect to the Company's ability to generate future taxable income. Management will continue to assess the realizability of the deferred tax asset at the interim and annual balance date based upon actual and forecasted operating results. At March 31, 2001, the Company has a U.S. federal income tax net operating loss carryforward of $37,232 available to offset future taxable income. The carryforward has various expiration dates beginning in 2018. Under current tax law, the utilization of the Company's tax attributes will be restricted if an ownership change, as defined, were to occur. Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code provides, in general, that if an "ownership change" occurs with respect to a corporation with net operating and other loss carryforwards, such carryforwards will be available to offset taxable income in each taxable year after the ownership change only up to the "Section 382 Limitation" for each year (generally, the product of the fair market value of the corporation's stock at the time of the ownership change, with certain adjustments, and a specified long-term tax-exempt bond rate at such time). The Company's ability to use its loss carryforwards would probably be limited in the event of an ownership change. 11. Concentration of Risks and Customer Information Substantially all of the Company's sales are to domestic and foreign dentists, doctors, and distributors of dental and medical supplies and equipment. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risks are primarily accounts receivable and cash equivalents. The Company generally does not require collateral and the majority of its trade receivables are unsecured. The Company is directly affected by the financial well being of the dental and medical industries. During 1999, the Company recorded significant charges for bad debt expense due to product reliability issues, customer service issues and insufficient credit and collection policies. The Company has undertaken steps to correct the deficiencies that resulted in the bad debt charges. The Company places its cash equivalents in short-term money market instruments. The Company currently purchases each of its primary raw materials, the active-pixel sensor ("APS") and the charged coupled device ("CCD") semiconductor wafers from single suppliers. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 1998, the Company experienced a delay in the supply flow from its CCD vendor, which resulted in manufacturing, and product shipment delays. Although there are a number of manufacturers capable of supplying these materials, which the Company believes could provide for its semiconductor requirements on comparable terms, such delays could occur again. Approximately $8,990, $6,545 and $5,961 of the Company's sales in 2001, 2000, and 1999, respectively, were to foreign customers. The majority of such foreign sales were to customers in Europe. During 2001 sales of $7,537 were made to two customers. During 2000 and 1999 sales of $2,570 and $7,187 were to a single distributor. On April 6, 2000, the Company entered into and agreement with Patterson Dental Company which granted Patterson exclusive rights to distribute the Company's dental products in the United States and Canada effective May 1, 2000. 12. Commitments and Contingencies Employment Agreements The Company has employment agreements with certain executive officers. As of March 31, 2001 minimum compensation obligations under these employment agreements are as follows: Year ending March 31, --------------------- 2002 $769 2003 370 ------ $1,139 ====== F-13 In addition, certain of the Company's agreements provide for the issuance of common stock and/or common stock options to the executives, which generally vest ratably over the term of the agreements (2-3 years). Additionally, certain executives may earn bonus compensation based upon the specific terms of the respective agreements, as defined. Operating and Capital Leases The Company leases its facilities under an operating lease agreement expiring June 2007. Rent expense for the years ended March 31, 2001, 2000, and 1999 was $701, $1,095 and $718, respectively. Future minimum payments on a fiscal year basis under non-cancelable operating are as follows: Operating --------- 2002 $ 419 2003 445 2004 467 2005 486 2006 506 Thereafter 663 ------ Total minimum lease payments $2,986 ====== Product Liability The Company is subject to the risk of product liability and other liability claims in the event that the use of its products results in personal injury or other claims. Although the Company has not experienced any product liability claims to date, any such claims could have an adverse impact on the Company. The Company maintains insurance coverage related to product liability claims, but there can be no assurance that product or other claims will not exceed its insurance coverage limits, or that such insurance will continue to be maintained or to be available on commercially acceptable terms, or at all. SEC Investigation and other In August 1999, the Company, through its outside counsel, contacted the Division of Enforcement of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") to advise it of certain matters related to the Company's restatement of earnings for interim periods of fiscal 1999. Subsequent thereto, the SEC requested the voluntary production of certain documents and the Company provided the SEC with the requested materials. On August 17, 2000, the SEC served a subpoena upon the Company, pursuant to a formal order of investigation, requiring the production of certain documents. The Company has provided the SEC with the subpoenaed materials and has cooperated fully with the SEC staff. The inquiry is in a preliminary stage and the Company cannot predict its potential outcome. In addition, investigators associated with the U.S. Attorney's Office have made inquires of certain former and current employees, apparently in connection with the same event. The inquiries are in a preliminary stage and the Company cannot predict their potential outcome. Litigation In May 2000, the Company entered into an agreement for the settlement of the class action lawsuit naming the Company, certain of its officers and former officers and various third parties as defendants. The complaint alleged that certain defendants issued false and misleading statements concerning the Company's publicly reported earnings in violation of the federal securities laws. The complaint sought certification of a class of persons who purchased the Company's common stock between July 1, 1997 and February 19, 1999, inclusive, and does not specify the amount of damages sought. Under the settlement agreement, reflected in a memorandum of understanding and Stipulation of Settlement, all claims against the Company and other defendants are to be dismissed without presumption or admission of any liability or wrongdoing. The principal terms of the settlement agreement call for payment to the plaintiffs, for the benefit of the class, of the sum of $3.4 million. The settlement amount will be paid in its entirety by the Company's insurance carrier and is not F-14 expected to have any material impact on the financial results of the Company. The terms of the settlement are subject to approval by the Court. During 1996, the Company was named as defendant in patent infringement litigation commenced by a competitor in the United States and France. The Company filed a countersuit against the competitor for infringement of a U.S. Patent which has been exclusively licensed to the Company. The Company has obtained a formal opinion of intellectual property counsel that its products do not infringe on the competitor's U.S. patent. In October 2000, the French patent court dismissed the litigation venued in France. The court dismissed all of Trophy's claims, finding no patent infringement. The court also ordered Trophy to pay the sum of 65,000 French Francs to the Company as partial reimbursement for legal fees. In September 2000, The Company filed motions for Summary Judgment seeking the dismissal of the action in the United States. On June 6, 2001, the parties executed an agreement for the settlement and discontinuance of these two lawsuits. Under the Settlement Agreement, the terms of which are confidential, all claims and counterclaims by the parties are to be dismissed with prejudice without any admission of wrongdoing by any party and each party releases the other from all claims. On June 11, 2001 the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York discontinued the case without costs to any party. The Company may be a party to a variety of legal actions (in addition to those referred to above), such as employment and employment discrimination-related suits, employee benefit claims, breach of contract actions, tort claims, shareholder suits, including securities fraud, and intellectual property related litigation. In addition, because of the nature of its business, the Company is subject to a variety of legal actions relating to its business operations. Recent court decisions and legislative activity may increase the Company's exposure for any of these types of claims. In some cases, substantial punitive damages may be sought. The Company currently has insurance coverage for some of these potential liabilities. Other potential liabilities may not be covered by insurance, insurers may dispute coverage, or the amount of insurance may not be sufficient to cover the damages awarded. In addition, 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. 13. Stock Option Plan, Stock Grants and Defined Contribution Plan Stock Option Plan and Stock Grants In April 1996, the Company implemented its 1996 Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") whereby incentive and non-qualified options to purchase shares of the Company's common stock may be granted to employees, directors and consultants. In September 1998, the Plan was amended to increase the number of shares of Common Stock issuable under the Plan from 470,400 to 1,000,000 and further amended in November 2000 to increase the number of shares of Common Stock issuable under the plan to 3,000,000. The Board of Directors determines exercise and vesting periods and the exercise price options granted under the Plan. The Plan stipulates that the exercise price of non-qualified options granted under the Plan must have an exercise price equal to or exceeding 85% of the fair market value of the Company's common stock as of the date of grant of the option and no option may be exercisable after ten years from the date of grant. Options granted under the plan generally vest over a period of four years. During fiscal 1996, prior to implementation of the Plan, an employee of the Company was granted an option to purchase 56,000 shares of the Company's common stock at $1.79 per share, determined by the Company's Board of Directors to be the fair market value of the Company's common stock at the date of the option grant. This option expired in December 2000. During 1998, the Company adopted the Directors Plan. A total of 35,000 shares of Common Stock have been authorized for issuance under the Directors Plan. In November 2000 the Plan was amended to increase the number of shares of Common Stock issuable to 300,000. At March 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, a total of 133,125, 25,000 and 25,000 options to purchase Common Stock pursuant to the Directors Plan were outstanding, respectively. The plan stipulates that the exercise price of non-qualified options granted under the Plan must have an exercise price equal to or exceeding 85% of the fair market value of the Company's common stock as of the date of grant of the option and no option may F-15 be exercisable after ten years from the date of grant. Options granted under the plan generally vest over a period of four years. The Company applies Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and related interpretations in accounting for its plans and other stock-based compensation issued to employees and directors. During the years ended March 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, the Company did not recognize compensation expense for options granted to employees. Had compensation cost for option grants to employees and Directors been determined based upon the fair value at the grant date for awards under the Plan consistent with the methodology prescribed under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," ("SFAS 123") the Company's net loss in 2001 would have increased by approximately $590 ($0.06 per basic share), net loss in 2000 would have been increased by approximately $626 ($.05 per basic share), and net income in 1999 would have been decreased by approximately $759 ($.08 per basic share). The fair value of options granted to employees and directors during 2001, 2000, and 1999 respectively has been determined on the date of the respective grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model based on the following weighted-average assumptions: 2001 2000 1999 ---- ---- ---- Dividend yield None None None Risk-free interest rate on date of grant 4.70-4.87% 5.35% - 6.36% 4.13% - 5.48% Forfeitures None None None Expected life 5 years 5 years 5 years Volatility 84% 91% 85% Weighted average fair value per share $0.62 $0.065 $7.88 The following table summarizes information regarding stock options for 2001, 2000 and 1999: ------- ------- ------- 1999 2000 2001 ------- ------- ------- Shares Weighted Shares Weighted Shares Weighted Under Average Under Average Under average Option Exercise Option Exercise Option exercise Price Price Price Price Price Price ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- --------- Options outstanding, Beginning of year 221,903 $11.46 591,958 $10.87 992,605 $4.57 Options granted 420,523 11.46 681,866 1.21 297,442 1.06 Options exercised (3,848) 7.14 -- -- (2,809) 1.00 Options forfeited (46,620) 20.44 (281,219) 12.30 (240,431) 4.84 ------- ------- --------- Options outstanding, End of year 591,958 $10.87 992,605 $4.57 1,046,807 $3.53 ======= ======= ========= Options outstanding Weighted-average remaining Range of exercise price at March 31, 2001 Contractual life (years) ---------------------- ----------------- ------------------------ $ 0.50 to $ 2.88 834,542 9.0 $ 4.91 to $ 7.86 104,204 7.0 $14.81 to $22.97 79,546 6.9 $25.75 to $27.72 28,605 7.0 At March 31, 2001, there are 2,109,169 options available for grant pursuant to the Company's option plans. Of the 1,046,807 options outstanding at March 31, 2001, 457,307 are exercisable at such date at a weighted-average exercise price of $4.63. Defined Contribution Plan The Company has a defined contribution savings plan, which qualifies under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code, for employees meeting certain service requirements. Participants may contribute up to 15% of their gross wages not to exceed, in any given year, a limitation set by the Internal Revenue Service regulations. The plan provides for mandatory matching contributions to F-16 be made by the Company to a maximum amount of 2.5% of a plan participant's compensation. Company contributions to the plan approximated $131, $164 and $218 in 2000,and 1999, respectively. 14. Supplemental Cash Flow Information Cash payments for interest were $854, $424 and $174 in 2001, 2000 and 1999 respectively. There were no payments for income taxes in 2001, 2000 and 1999. During fiscal 1999, the Company acquired $199 of computer equipment of production equipment under capital leases. 15. Stockholders' Equity During 1999, warrants to purchase 204,680 shares of common stock were exercised using cashless exercises pursuant to which 63,479 shares of the Company's common stock were issued. During 1998, warrants to purchase 24,640 shares of the Company's common stock were exercised. Exercises of 11,200 of such warrants, for which 11,200 shares of common stock were issued, provided the Company with net proceeds of approximately $100. The remaining 13,440 warrant exercises were cashless exercises pursuant to which 8,647 shares of the Company's common stock were issued. During the year ended March 31, 2000, the balance of unexercised warrants, issued by the Company in connection with its May 1996 private placement, expired. In February 2000, an executive was awarded 75,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock, subject to a risk of forfeiture, which expires as to 25,000 shares on each of December 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002. Upon the sale of any such vested shares, the employee is required to pay the Company $1.32 per share sold within 30 days following such sale. The Company recorded a note receivable, which is presented as a reduction of Paid in Capital amounting to $99, relating to the stock issuance. The charge to operations relating to this stock award is not material to the financial statements. 16. Acquisition and Investment Keystone Acquisition On September 24, 1997, the Company acquired certain assets of Keystone Dental X-Ray Inc. ("Keystone"), a manufacturer of x-ray equipment for the medical and dental radiology field, for $1,450. The acquisition had been accounted for using the purchase method, and the Company had recorded goodwill in the amount of $750, which is included in other assets and is being amortized on a straight-line basis over 7 years. The Company recognized $107 for amortization of goodwill in 2001, 2000 and 1999. Investment in Photobit Corporation In September 1997, the Company purchased a minority interest of 5%, for $1,000 in Photobit Corporation, a developer of complementary metal-oxide semiconductor ("CMOS"), APS imaging technology. In July 1998, the Company invested an additional $250 in Photobit Corporation, bringing its total investment in Photobit to $1,250. The Company is the exclusive licensee of the APS technology for medical applications and utilizes the technology in its bone-mineral density assessment device and certain components of its computed dental x-ray imaging system. The Company carries the investment at cost. At March 31, 2000, it is not practicable to estimate the fair value of this investment because of the lack of quoted market prices and the inability to estimate fair value without incurring excessive costs. No dividends were paid on this investment. In September 1999, the Company sold 250,000 shares of Photobit stock for $1,000 and recorded an investment gain of approximately $565. F-17 17.
