                                  THE COMPANY
 
    Image  Guided  Technologies,   Inc.  (the   "Company")  designs,   develops,
manufactures   and   markets   products  for   real-time,   precise,  free-hand,
localization of points in three dimensional ("3D") space. The Company's  optical
localizers,  typically  consisting  of  a  number  of  custom-manufactured light
emitting diodes ("LEDs") mounted on a device  or instrument to be tracked in  3D
space,  a relative position  dynamic reference device  connected to the measured
object, a  multi-camera array  for detecting  the LED  emissions, a  proprietary
microprocessor-based  control system, and proprietary  software to calculate the
digital coordinate  location  of the  LEDs,  have both  medical  and  industrial
applications. The Company manufactures its FlashPoint localizer for medical uses
and its Pixsys localizer for industrial uses.
 
        MEDICAL  APPLICATIONS.   The  Company's  FlashPoint localizer  is  a key
    component of the anatomical image display workstation used by physicians  to
    perform  image  guided  surgery,  a  specialty  procedure  in  the  field of
    minimally invasive surgery. When the  FlashPoint localizer is combined  with
    the imaging software provided by the Company's customers, such as Carl Zeiss
    ("Zeiss"),  GE Medical  Systems ("GEMS"),  Surgical Navigation Technologies,
    Inc./Sofamor Danek  Group  ("SNT/Sofamor Danek")  and  DeeMed  International
    ("DeeMed"),  all of whom use the  Company's FlashPoint product, the location
    of specially designed surgical instruments can be tracked in relation to the
    patient's anatomy during  surgical procedures  by display as  an overlay  on
    medical  images (such as magnetic resonance imaging ("MRI") and computerized
    tomography ("CT")). The Company believes that the ability of the surgeon  to
    track  the relative location  of specially designed  surgical instruments on
    the image display workstation  can result in  less invasive procedures  that
    lead to shorter hospital stays and improved patient outcomes.
 
        INDUSTRIAL  APPLICATIONS.   The  Company's Pixsys  localizer is  used in
    various industrial applications to measure the position or shape of  objects
    in   3D   space.  Illustrative   uses   include  inspection   of   parts  by
    Harley-Davidson, Inc., detection of surface deformities in car bodies during
    manufacture by Daimler-Benz and as a  3D navigation aid in its  zero-gravity
    chamber  by the United  States National Aeronautic  and Space Administration
    ("NASA").
 
    The Company's business strategy is to systematically enhance the performance
of its optical  localizers while expanding  the market for  such products.  With
respect  to  enhancing its  products,  the Company  is  seeking to  increase the
products' accuracy, enlarge the field-of-view,  increase the sample/ frame  rate
(throughput)  and improve the customer computer interface. With regard to market
expansion,  the   Company  is   seeking  to   identify  additional   measurement
applications for its products.
 
    The  Company  was  founded in  1986,  and  was incorporated  in  Colorado in
February 1990. The Company's  place of business is  at 5710-B Flatiron  Parkway,
Boulder, Colorado 80301, and its telephone number is (303) 447-0248.

                                  RISK FACTORS
 
    AN INVESTMENT IN THE SHARES OFFERED HEREBY IS HIGHLY SPECULATIVE, INVOLVES A
HIGH DEGREE OF RISK AND SHOULD BE MADE ONLY BY INVESTORS WHO CAN AFFORD THE LOSS
OF THEIR ENTIRE INVESTMENT. PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS, PRIOR TO MAKING AN INVESTMENT
DECISION, SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER, TOGETHER WITH THE OTHER MATTERS REFERRED TO
HEREIN,  INCLUDING  THE FINANCIAL  STATEMENTS AND  THE  NOTES THERETO,  THE RISK
FACTORS SET FORTH BELOW:
 
    LIMITED  HISTORY  OF  PROFITABILITY;  POTENTIAL  FLUCTUATIONS  IN  OPERATING
RESULTS.   The  Company has experienced  significant operating  losses since its
inception, had an  accumulated deficit of  $3,380,855 at December  31, 1995  and
$3,255,021  at  June 30,  1996  and had  a net  tangible  book value  deficit of
$603,672 at December 31, 1995 and $140,338  at June 30, 1996. While the  Company
has  been profitable during the six months ended  June 30, 1996, there can be no
assurance that  the Company  will ever  generate sufficient  revenues to  attain
profitability  on an  annual basis. In  addition, because  the Company generally
ships its products  on the basis  of purchase orders,  operating results in  any
quarter  are highly dependent on orders booked  and shipped in that quarter and,
accordingly, may fluctuate  materially from  quarter to  quarter. The  Company's
operating expense levels are based on the Company's internal forecasts of future
demand  and not on firm customer orders. Failure by the Company to achieve these
internal forecasts could result  in expense levels  which are inconsistent  with
actual  revenues, which  could have a  material adverse effect  on the Company's
business, financial condition and results of operations. Moreover, the Company's
quarterly results may also be affected  by fluctuating demand for the  Company's
products,  declines  in the  average  selling prices  for  its products,  and by
increases in  the costs  of the  components and  subassemblies acquired  by  the
Company  from vendors.  See "Management's  Discussion and  Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results Of Operations."
 
    DEPENDENCE ON A  SINGLE TYPE OF  PRODUCT.  Substantially  all the  Company's
revenues  are derived from sales of its optical localizers. Although the Company
is currently seeking to expand the markets  for its localizers, there can be  no
assurance  that it will be successful. Unless the Company can expand its product
line or develop additional  applications for its products,  the Company will  be
subject  to all  the risks  inherent in  a single  product enterprise, including
increased risk of technological obsolescence. See "Risk Factors--Uncertainty  of
Market Acceptance."
 
    UNCERTAINTY  OF MARKET  ACCEPTANCE.  The  market for  optical localizers has
only recently commenced to develop. Two of the Company's largest medical  device
customers,  Zeiss and  SNT/Sofamor Danek,  only began  commercial sale  of their
image guided surgery  products in  1996. If  the market  for optical  localizers
fails  to continue to develop, develops more slowly than the Company anticipates
or ceases, the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations
would be materially and adversely affected. Demand for optical localizers  could
be  affected by numerous factors outside the Company's control, including, among
others, market  acceptance  by  medical and  industrial  customers,  changes  in
governmental  regulation  and  the  introduction of  new  or  superior competing
technologies. See "Business."
 
    RAPID TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE.  The  market for localizers is characterized  by
rapid  and significant technological change. There  can be no assurance that the
Company's competitors will not  succeed in developing  or marketing products  or
technologies  that are  more effective and/or  less costly and  which render the
Company's products obsolete  or non-competitive. In  addition, new  technologies
and  procedures could be developed for medical and other industries that replace
or reduce the value of the Company's products. The Company's success will depend
in part on its ability to  respond quickly to technological changes through  the
development  and  improvement  of  its products.  Accordingly,  the  Company has
estimated that approximately $1,000,000 (20.8%) of the estimated net proceeds of
this offering, assuming  an initial public  offering price of  $5.00 per  Share,
will  be allocated to fund further  research and development activities, and the
Company believes that  a substantial amount  of capital will  be required to  be
allocated  to such activities in the future.  There can be no assurance that the
Company's product development  efforts will  be successful. The  failure by  the
Company to improve its
 
                                       6

existing  products and develop new products could have a material adverse effect
on the Company's business,  financial condition and  results of operations.  See
"Business--Research and Development" and "Business--Competition."
 
    CUSTOMER CONCENTRATION; PATENTS ON SYSTEMS THAT UTILIZE LOCALIZERS.  For the
year  ended December 31, 1995 and the six  months ended June 30, 1996, the three
largest customers  of  the Company  accounted  for approximately  70%  and  88%,
respectively,  of the revenues of  the Company. The loss  of, or the substantial
diminution of purchases from the Company by, any of these customers could have a
material adverse effect on the Company. None of these customers has entered into
any  long-term  minimum  purchase  agreements  with  the  Company.  Accordingly,
purchases  from the  Company by such  customers in  any prior period  may not be
indicative  of   orders  or   purchases  in   any  future   period.  See   "Risk
Factors--Uncertainty  of Market Acceptance,"  "Risk Factors--Rapid Technological
Change," "Management's  Discussion  and  Analysis  of  Financial  Condition  and
Results of Operations," "Business--Customers and Use" and "Business--Backlog."
 
    There  are  a number  of patents  that utilize  a localizer  as part  of the
invention, several of which relate to  the medical industry. One of the  patents
relating  to the medical industry is a patent granted to St. Louis University on
January 24,  1995 (the  "SLU  Patent"), and  subsequently licensed  to  Surgical
Navigation  Technologies, Inc. ("SNT"), one of the Company's major customers. In
general, the  SLU  Patent covers  a  particular technique  for  determining  the
position  of a surgical probe within a  patient's body on an historical image of
that body. The Company is  not in a position  to evaluate whether its  customers
may  be  infringing  the  SLU  Patent  or  any  of  the  other  patents.  If any
infringement claim  is  brought  or  threatened against  any  of  the  Company's
customers,  it could have a  material adverse effect on  orders of the Company's
products from these customers. See "Business--Intellectual Property."
 
    ABSENCE OF PATENT PROTECTION.   While the Company  has been issued one  U.S.
patent  and has  five U.S.  patent applications  pending, the  Company primarily
relies on  a combination  of  trade secret  and  copyright laws,  together  with
nondisclosure  agreements to protect its  know-how and proprietary rights. There
can be no assurance that such measures will provide adequate protection for  the
Company's  intellectual  property  rights,  that disputes  with  respect  to the
ownership of its intellectual property rights will not arise, that the Company's
trade secrets or proprietary  technology will not otherwise  become known or  be
independently  developed  by  competitors  or  that  the  Company  can otherwise
meaningfully protect its intellectual property rights. Furthermore, there can be
no assurance  that  others  will  not  develop  similar  products  or  software,
duplicate  the Company's  products or  software or  that third  parties will not
assert intellectual  property  infringement  claims  against  the  Company.  The
Company  believes that the manufacture and sale of its FlashPoint localizer will
not infringe the SLU Patent, since a  localizer is only a component part in  the
system  patented  by  SLU  and  since  the  Company's  FlashPoint  localizer has
substantial non-infringing uses. Moreover,  there can be  no assurance that  any
patent owned by the Company will not be invalidated, circumvented or challenged,
that   the  rights  granted  thereunder   will  provide  meaningful  competitive
advantages to the Company or that any of the Company's pending or future  patent
applications  will  be  issued.  The  failure  of  the  Company  to  protect its
proprietary rights  could  have  a  material adverse  effect  on  its  business,
financial  condition  and  results  of  operations.  See "Business--Intellectual
Property."
 
    Litigation may be necessary to  protect the Company's intellectual  property
rights and trade secrets, to determine the validity and scope of the proprietary
rights  of  others or  to defend  against claims  of infringement  or invalidity
(including, without limitation, claims brought by parties whose technology  such
as  that which may  be the basis of  the SLU Patent,  utilize a localizer). Such
litigation could also result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and
could have a  material adverse effect  on the Company's  business and  financial
condition   and  results  of   operations.  There  can   be  no  assurance  that
infringement, invalidity, right to use or  ownership claims by third parties  or
claims  for  indemnification  resulting  from infringement  claims  will  not be
asserted in  the future.  If any  claims  or actions  are asserted  against  the
Company,  the Company may be required to  obtain a license under a third party's
intellectual property rights. There can be no assurance, however, that a license
will be
 
                                       7

available to the Company on reasonable terms or at all. In addition, should  the
Company  determine to litigate such claims, such litigation could also result in
substantial costs and diversion of resources and could materially and  adversely
affect  the Company's business,  financial condition and  results of operations,
regardless  of  the  outcome  of  the  litigation.  See  "Business--Intellectual
Property."
 
    COMPETITION.    The  Company's  primary  competitor  in  the  medical market
currently is  Northern  Digital,  Inc.  ("NDI").  In  addition,  companies  with
substantially  greater financial, technical,  marketing, manufacturing and human
resources, as well  as name  recognition, than the  Company may  also enter  the
market.  Competitors may  be able  to respond  more quickly  to new  or emerging
technologies and changes  in customer requirements  and to devote  substantially
greater  resources to the development, marketing and sale of their products than
the Company.  The  Company's  customers  may  determine  to  develop  their  own
localizers  to  insure  control over  their  localizer technology  or  for other
reasons. Furthermore, such  competitors may develop  technology other than  that
based  on  infrared  optics  that  is  more  effective  or  economical  than the
technology of the Company  in localizing a  point in space.  Any failure by  the
Company to develop products that compete favorably in the marketplace would have
a  material adverse  effect on the  Company's business,  financial condition and
results of operations. See "Business--Competition."
 
    POSSIBLE NEED FOR ADDITIONAL  FINANCING.  Based  on the Company's  operating
plan, the Company believes that the net proceeds of this offering, together with
funds  from operations, will  be sufficient to  satisfy its capital requirements
and finance its plans for expansion for at least the next 18 months. Such belief
is based  on  certain assumptions,  and  there can  be  no assurance  that  such
assumptions  are correct. In addition,  contingencies or opportunities may arise
which would require the Company to obtain additional capital. Accordingly, there
can be  no assurance  that such  resources  will be  sufficient to  satisfy  the
Company's  capital requirements for such period. After such 18-month period, the
Company may require additional  financing. Such financing may  take the form  of
the  issuance of common  or preferred stock  or debt securities,  or may involve
bank financing. There  can be  no assurance  that the  Company will  be able  to
obtain such additional capital on a timely basis, on favorable terms or at all.
 
    GOVERNMENT  REGULATION.  The Company's  FlashPoint localizer is incorporated
into medical devices that are subject to extensive regulation by the FDA and, in
some instances, by foreign and state governments. The FDA regulates the clinical
testing, manufacture,  labeling, sale,  distribution, and  promotion of  medical
devices. Before a new device can be introduced into the market, the manufacturer
must  obtain market clearance  through either the  510(k) premarket notification
process or the lengthier and more costly premarket approval ("PMA")  application
process.  Noncompliance with applicable requirements, can result in, among other
things, fines,  injunctions, civil  penalties, recall  or seizure  of  products,
total  or partial suspension  of production, failure of  the government to grant
premarket clearance or premarket approval  for devices, withdrawal of  marketing
approvals,  and criminal prosecution. The FDA  also has the authority to request
repair, replacement or refund of the cost of any device.
 
    The Company  believes that  the  FlashPoint localizer  is a  medical  device
component not subject to the full panoply of the FDA medical device regulations,
including the market clearance requirements. The medical equipment manufacturers
that  incorporate  the FlashPoint  localizer into  their products  are, however,
required  to  obtain  market   clearance  from  the   FDA  for  such   products.
Modifications   to  such   products  manufactured   by  the   medical  equipment
manufacturers  will  require  additional   clearances  or  approvals,  if   such
modifications  could significantly  effect the  safety and  effectiveness of the
devices or  establish a  new  intended use  for the  devices.  There can  be  no
assurance  that the Company's customers have complied  or will be able to comply
with all applicable market  clearance requirements. Failure on  the part of  the
Company's  customers  to comply  with such  requirements  could have  a material
adverse effect on  the Company's  business, financial condition  and results  of
operations. See "Business--Government Regulation."
 
                                       8

    There  can be  no assurance  that the  FDA will  not require,  or change its
interpretations or regulations so  as to require, the  Company to obtain  510(k)
clearance  for its FlashPoint localizer apart from  or in addition to any market
clearances obtained by its medical device  customers. Failure of the Company  to
comply  with such  market clearance requirements  could have  a material adverse
affect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.
See "Business--Government Regulation."
 
    Products manufactured by the Company  and its medical device customers  that
incorporate  the Company's products are subject  to continuing regulation by the
FDA. FDA enforcement policy strictly prohibits the promotion of products for any
uses other  than  those  for  which clearance  or  approval  was  obtained.  The
Company's  manufacturing facilities  and those  of its  medical device customers
that incorporate its  products may also  be subject to  periodic inspection  for
compliance  with  good  manufacturing  practices  ("GMP")  and  other regulatory
requirements  by  the   FDA  and   comparable  state   agencies.  In   addition,
international  sales  of  medical  devices  are  subject  to  foreign regulatory
requirements, which  vary  from country  to  country. Violations  of  regulatory
requirements  of the FDA or  foreign or state regulatory  agencies or changes in
such regulations or interpretations of  such regulations, could have a  material
adverse  affect on  the Company's business,  financial condition  and results of
operations. See "Business--Government Regulation."
 
    HEALTH CARE  REFORM.   The health  care industry  is undergoing  fundamental
changes  as a  result of political,  economic and regulatory  influences. In the
United States, comprehensive programs have  been proposed that seek to  increase
access  to health care for the uninsured,  control the escalation of health care
expenditures within the economy  and use health  care reimbursement policies  to
help  control the  federal deficit.  The Company  anticipates that  Congress and
state legislatures will continue  to review and  assess alternative health  care
delivery  systems and methods of payment and  public debate of these issues will
likely  continue.  Due  to  uncertainties   regarding  the  outcome  of   reform
initiatives  and their enactment and  implementation, the Company cannot predict
which, if any, of such  reform proposals will be adopted  or when they might  be
adopted.  Other countries are  also considering health  care reform. Significant
changes in health care systems could have a substantial impact on the manner  in
which the Company conducts its business and could have a material adverse effect
on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
    DEPENDENCE  ON KEY PERSONNEL.  The  Company's success depends in significant
part on  the continued  contribution  of certain  key management  and  technical
personnel,  including: Paul  L. Ray, Chairman  of the Board  and Chief Executive
Officer of  the Company;  Robert  E. Silligman,  President and  Chief  Operating
Officer of the Company; Waldean Schulz, Vice President, Technology and Secretary
of  the  Company;  and Jeffrey  J.  Hiller,  Vice President,  Finance  and Chief
Financial Officer of the Company. Although the Company has employment  contracts
with  Mr.  Silligman through  November  30, 1997  and  each of  the  other three
individuals through December  31, 1997,  the loss of  services of  any of  these
individuals could have a material adverse effect on the Company. The Company has
obtained, owns and is the sole beneficiary of key man life insurance policies in
the  amount of $1,000,000 on the lives of each of Mr. Ray and Mr. Silligman. The
Company's growth and  profitability also depend  on its ability  to attract  and
retain other management and technical personnel. See "Management."
 
    RISK  OF PRODUCT LIABILITY  CLAIMS.  The Company  faces an inherent business
risk of exposure to product  liability claims in the event  that the use of  its
products  is alleged to  have resulted in  adverse effects. To  date, no product
liability claims have been asserted against the Company. The Company maintains a
product  liability  and  commercial  general  liability  insurance  policy  with
coverage  of $1,000,000 per occurrence and  an annual aggregate maximum coverage
of $2,000,000 ($1,000,000  for lawsuits  outside the United  States, Canada  and
Puerto  Rico). The Company's  product liability and  general liability policy is
provided on an occurrence basis and is  subject to annual renewal. There can  be
no  assurance that liability claims will not  exceed the coverage limits of such
policy or that such
 
                                       9

insurance will continue to be available  on commercially reasonable terms or  at
all.  If the Company does not or cannot maintain sufficient liability insurance,
its ability  to  market  its  products  could  be  significantly  impaired.  See
"Business--Product Liability Insurance."
 
    IMMEDIATE AND SUBSTANTIAL DILUTION.  At June 30, 1996, the Company has a pro
forma  net tangible  book value per  share of ($0.07).  Investors purchasing the
Shares will therefore incur immediate,  substantial dilution of $3.58 per  share
of  Common Stock (at an assumed initial public offering price of $5.00 per Share
and after underwriting discounts and estimated offering expenses payable by  the
Company). See "Dilution."
 
    ARBITRARY  OFFERING PRICE.  The public offering price of the Shares has been
determined by negotiation between the Company and the Representative. Among  the
factors  considered in such negotiations were (i) an assessment of the Company's
future prospects, (ii)  the experience  of the Company's  management, (iii)  the
current financial position of the Company, (iv) the prevailing conditions in the
securities  markets, including  the market value  of the  publicly traded common
stock of companies  in similar  industries, (v)  the market  conditions for  new
offerings of securities and (vi) the demand for similar securities of comparable
companies. See "Underwriting."
 
    NO  PRIOR MARKET FOR  THE COMMON STOCK.   Prior to  this offering, there has
been no public market for the Common  Stock, and there can be no assurance  that
an active trading market therefore will develop or, if any such market develops,
that  it  will be  sustained. Accordingly,  purchasers of  the Common  Stock may
experience difficulty selling or otherwise  disposing of their shares of  Common
Stock.
 
    DIVIDENDS.  The Company has not paid any dividends on the Common Stock since
inception  and does not intend  to pay any dividends  to its shareholders in the
foreseeable future. The Company currently intends to reinvest earnings, if  any,

"Description of Securities--Common Stock."
 
    SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE.  The  sale, or availability for sale, of  a
substantial  number of shares of Common Stock in the public market subsequent to
this offering pursuant  to Rule  144 under the  Securities Act  ("Rule 144")  or
otherwise could materially adversely affect the market price of the Common Stock
and  could impair the Company's ability  to raise additional capital through the
sale of its equity securities or debt financing. The availability of Rule 144 to
the holders of  restricted securities of  the Company would  be conditioned  on,
among  other things, the  availability of certain  public information concerning
the Company. All of the 2,084,699 shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately
prior to the closing of this  offering are "restricted securities" as that  term
is  defined in Rule  144 and may,  under certain circumstances,  be sold without
registration under  the Securities  Act. Ordinarily,  any shares  issuable  upon
exercise  of options, pursuant  to Rule 701  under the Securities  Act, could be
sold publicly commencing 90 days after  the Company becomes a reporting  Company
under  the Securities  Exchange Act  of 1934,  as amended  (the "Exchange Act").
Holders of  substantially  all  of  the  outstanding  shares  of  Common  Stock,
including  all executive  officers and  directors of  the Company,  have agreed,
however, not to sell or otherwise dispose of any securities of the Company for a
period  of  18   months  from   the  date   of  this   Prospectus  without   the
Representative's prior written consent.
 
    The  holders of the  Representative's Warrants will  have certain demand and
"piggy back" registration rights with respect to such warrants and the shares of
Common Stock underlying such warrants (the "Warrant Shares") commencing one year
after the date hereof.  If the Representative  should exercise its  registration
rights  to effect a distribution of the Representative's Warrants or the Warrant
Shares, the  Representative, prior  to  and during  such distribution,  will  be
unable  to make  a market  in the Company's  securities, which  may therefore be
limited. If the Representative ceases making  a market in the Common Stock,  the
market  and  market prices  for  the Common  Stock  may be  materially adversely
affected, and holders  thereof may  be unable to  sell or  otherwise dispose  of
shares   of  Common   Stock.  See   "Shares  Eligible   For  Future   Sale"  and
"Underwriting."
 
                                       10

    SUBSTANTIAL OPTIONS AND  WARRANTS RESERVED; CONTINGENT  ISSUANCES OF  COMMON
STOCK.   The Company  has reserved 800,000  shares of Common  Stock for issuance
pursuant to the Company's 1994 Stock  Option Plan (the "Plan"). To date  options
to  purchase an aggregate  of 710,840 shares  of Common Stock  have been granted
pursuant to the  Plan and warrants  to purchase an  additional 50,000 shares  of
Common  Stock are outstanding, although  the holders of all  of such options and
warrants have  agreed not  to sell  any  shares of  Common Stock  issuable  upon
exercise of such options and warrants for a period of 18 months from the date of
this  Prospectus. The Company will also sell to the Representative in connection
with this offering, for nominal consideration, the Representative's Warrants  to
purchase  an aggregate of  120,000 shares of  Common Stock at  a price per share
equal to  110%  of the  initial  public offering  price  per share,  subject  to
adjustment  as  provided therein.  The Company  has  agreed that,  under certain
circumstances, it  will register  under federal  and state  securities laws  the
Representative's  Warrants  and/or  the  Warrant Shares.  The  existence  of the
Representative's Warrants, the  outstanding options issued  under the Plan,  and
such  other warrants may prove to be a hindrance to future financings, since the
holders of such warrants and options may be expected to exercise them at a  time
when  the Company would otherwise be able to obtain additional equity capital on
terms more  favorable  to  the Company.  See  "Management"  and  "Underwriting--
Representative's Warrants."
 
    POSSIBLE  VOLATILITY OF STOCK PRICE.   The market price  of the Common Stock
may be highly volatile. Factors such as fluctuations in the Company's  operating
results,  announcements  of technological  innovations  or new  products  by the
Company  or  its   competitors,  FDA  and   international  regulatory   actions,
developments  with respect to  patents or proprietary  rights, changes in health
care policy in  the United States  or internationally, changes  in stock  market
analyst   recommendations  regarding   the  Company,   other  companies  selling
components to the medical device industry and general market conditions may have
a significant effect on the market price  of the Common Stock. In addition,  the
stock  market has  from time  to time  experienced significant  price and volume
fluctuations  that  are  unrelated   to  operating  performance  of   particular
companies. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the market price
of the Common Stock.
 
    PREFERRED  STOCK; POSSIBLE ANTI-TAKEOVER EFFECTS.  The Company's Articles of
Incorporation authorizes the Board of Directors to issue up to 2,500,000  shares
of preferred stock. The preferred stock may be issued in one or more series, the
terms  of  which may  be determined  at the  time  of issuance  by the  Board of
Directors, without further action by shareholders, and may include, among  other
things,  voting rights (including  the right to  vote as a  series on particular
matters), preferences as to dividends and liquidation, conversion and redemption
rights, and sinking fund provisions. At  the date hereof, there are  outstanding
83,332  Shares of Series  A Preferred Stock which  will be mandatorily converted
into an aggregate of  380,363 Shares of  Common Stock upon  the closing of  this
offering.  The Company has no  present plans for the  issuance of any additional
preferred stock.  However,  the  issuance  of any  such  preferred  stock  could
materially  adversely  affect  the  rights  of  holders  of  Common  Stock  and,
therefore, could reduce  the value of  the Common Stock.  In addition,  specific
rights  granted to future holders  of preferred stock could  be used to restrict
the Company's ability to merge with, or  sell its assets to, a third party.  The
ability  of the  Board of Directors  to issue preferred  stock could discourage,
delay or prevent a  takeover of the Company,  thereby preserving control of  the
Company by the current shareholders. See "Description of Securities."

                                USE OF PROCEEDS
 
    The  net  proceeds to  the Company  from  the sale  of the  1,200,000 Shares
offered hereby  are  estimated  to be  approximately  $4,800,000  (approximately
$5,583,000  if the  Underwriters' over-allotment  option is  exercised in full),
assuming an initial public  offering price of $5.00  per Share, after  deducting
underwriting  discounts and commissions and  estimated offering expenses payable
by the Company. The Company  presently intends to use  the net proceeds of  this
offering as follows:
 


                                                                                   PERCENTAGE OF NET

                                                                $   4,800,000             100.0%

- ------------------------
(1) The  Company intends to repay approximately $875,690, consisting of $775,000
    in principal on outstanding loans plus $100,690 in interest accrued  through
    August  30, 1996. These loans were made in 1995 and used for working capital
    and other general  corporate purposes. The  loans bear interest  at 11%  per
    annum  and mature upon the earlier of  the closing of a public offering with
    gross proceeds  of  at least  $5,000,000  or  June 30,  1997.  See  "Certain
    Transactions".
 
(2) Includes  product  literature costs  and  salaries and  associated  costs of
    additional marketing and technical support personnel.
 
(3) The balance of the estimated net proceeds will be used for general corporate
    and working capital purposes. The Company may also utilize a portion of  the
    proceeds  of  this  offering to  acquire  or license  technology.  While the
    Company is currently evaluating various technologies, it has no  agreements,
    arrangements  or undertakings with  any third party  for any acquisitions or
    licenses. There can be no assurance that any new technology will be acquired
    or licensed or  that, if  consummated, any  acquisition or  license will  be
    successful. See "Business--Research and Development."
 
    The  foregoing represents the  Company's best estimate  of its allocation of
the net proceeds of the  sale of the Shares  based upon the Company's  currently
contemplated  operations, the Company's  business plan and  current economic and
industry conditions  and  is subject  to  reapportionment among  the  categories
listed above or to new categories in response to, among other things, changes in
its   plans,  economic   and  industry   conditions  and   future  revenues  and
expenditures. The amount  and timing of  expenditures will vary  depending on  a
number of factors, including changes in the Company's contemplated operations or
business plan and changes in economic and industry conditions.
 
    Based  on the  Company's business  plan, the  Company believes  that the net
proceeds  of  this  offering,  together  with  funds  generated  by   continuing
operations,  will be sufficient to permit  the Company to conduct its operations
as currently contemplated for at least the next 18 months. Such belief is  based
on  certain assumptions, and there can be  no assurance that such resources will
be sufficient for such purpose. The Company may be required to raise substantial
additional capital in  the future in  order to expand  operations. In  addition,
contingencies  may  arise which  may require  the  Company to  obtain additional
capital. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain  such
capital   from  any   other  sources   on  favorable   terms  or   at  all.  See
"Capitalization,"  and  "Management's  Discussion  and  Analysis  of   Financial
Condition and Results of Operations".
 
    Pending  the use  of the  net proceeds for  the above  purposes, the Company
intends  to  invest  such  funds  in  short-term,  investment-grade  securities,
including government obligations and money market instruments.
 
                                DIVIDEND POLICY
 
    The  Company has not paid any cash  dividends on its capital stock since its
inception, and does not expect to pay cash dividends on its Common Stock in  the
foreseeable  future. The Company currently intends to reinvest earnings, if any,
in the development and expansion of its business.

                                 CAPITALIZATION
 
    The following table sets forth the short term debt and capitalization of the
Company at June 30, 1996 (i)  on an actual basis, (ii)  on a pro forma basis  to
reflect  the mandatory conversion  of the 83,332 shares  of outstanding Series A
Preferred Stock into  380,363 shares of  Common Stock upon  the closing of  this
offering  and (iii) on a pro forma, as adjusted basis to reflect such conversion
and to  give effect  to the  application by  the Company  of the  estimated  net
proceeds  from the sale of the Shares, assuming an initial public offering price
of $5.00  per  Share. See  "Use  of Proceeds."  This  table should  be  read  in
conjunction  with the Financial Statements and Notes thereto appearing elsewhere
in this Prospectus.

                                    DILUTION
 
    The  pro forma net tangible book value  (Deficit) of the Company at June 30,
1996, was  $(140,338), or  $(0.07) per  share  of Common  Stock. Pro  forma  net
tangible  book value  per share of  Common Stock represents  the tangible assets
(total assets less  intangible assets)  less total liabilities,  divided by  the
number  of  shares  of  Common  Stock  outstanding  assuming  conversion  of all
outstanding shares of the Company's Preferred Stock. After giving effect to  the
sale of the Shares offered hereby at an assumed initial public offering price of
$5.00  per Share  and the  application of  the net  proceeds therefrom,  the net
tangible book  value of  the  Common Stock  at June  30,  1996 would  have  been
approximately  $4,659,662  or  $1.42  per share.  This  represents  an immediate
increase in net tangible book value of $1.49 per share to existing  shareholders
and an immediate dilution to new investors of $3.58 per share.
 


                                                                                                 PER SHARE

and (ii) 89,160  shares reserved  for future  grants under  the Company's  Stock
Option  Plan. Assuming that all of these  options and warrants were deemed to be
exercised and proceeds were received therefrom, dilution to new investors  would
be  $3.65 per share.  See "Management--1994 Stock  Option Plan," "Description of

               MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                      CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
GENERAL
 
    The  Company  designs,  develops,  manufactures  and  markets  products  for
real-time,  precise,  free-hand,  localization  of  points  in three-dimensional
space. The  Company's  optical  localizers  typically consist  of  a  number  of
custom-manufactured LEDs mounted to the device or instrument to be tracked in 3D
space,  a relative position  dynamic reference device  connected to the measured
object, a  multi-camera array  for detecting  the LED  emissions, a  proprietary
microprocessor-based  control  system  and  proprietary  software.  The  Company
shipped its  first product  in 1992.  It introduced  its current  products,  the
FlashPoint 5000 and the Pixsys 5000, in the spring of 1995.
 
    The  following table sets forth for the periods indicated certain line items
derived from  the Company's  statement  of operations  as  a percentage  of  the
Company's revenues:
 


                                                                 YEAR ENDED                SIX MONTHS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
    SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 AND 1995
 
    Revenue  increased by $1,249,800,  or approximately 252%,  to $1,746,700 for
the six months ended June 30, 1996,  as compared to $496,900 for the six  months
ended June 30, 1995. Such increase was primarily attributable to the addition of
Zeiss as a customer and increased purchases by SNT/Sofamor Danek and GEMS.
 
    Cost of goods sold increased by $474,900, or approximately 183%, to $733,800
for  the six months ended June 30, 1996, compared to $258,900 for the six months
ended June 30, 1995. Cost of goods sold as a percentage of revenue decreased  to
42%  for the  six months ended  June 30,  1996, as compared  to 52%  for the six
months ended June 30, 1995. The increase in cost of goods sold was  attributable
to increased sales volume and the decrease in cost of goods sold as a percentage
of  revenue was primarily attributable to  the resulting economies of scale from
higher production volume.
 
    Gross profit increased by $774,900, or approximately 326%, to $1,012,900 for
the six months ended June 30, 1996,  as compared to $238,000 for the six  months
ended June 30, 1995. Such increase was primarily attributable to the increase in
sales volume.
 
    Research  and development  expenses decreased  by $56,400,  or approximately
15%, to $328,400 for the six months ended June 30, 1996, as compared to $384,800
for the six months ended June 30, 1995. This decrease was principally due to the
reduction of costs  associated with the  completion of the  FlashPoint 5000  and
Pixsys 5000, which products were released during the second quarter of 1995.
 
                                       16

    Selling  and marketing expenses decreased by $128,700, or approximately 36%,
to $224,500 for the six months ended June 30, 1996, as compared to $353,200  for
the  six months ended June 30, 1995. Such decrease was primarily attributable to
the decision to focus its sales and marketing efforts on selling its  FlashPoint
product to medical device companies.
 
    General  and administrative expenses increased  by $59,500, or approximately
25%, to $296,400 for the six months ended June 30, 1996, as compared to $236,900
for the six months ended June 30, 1995. Such increase was primarily attributable
to additional personnel and associated costs.
 
    Operating income increased by $900,500,  or approximately 122%, to  $163,500
for  the six  months ended June  30, 1996, as  compared to an  operating loss of
$737,000 for the  six months ended  June 30, 1995.  This increase was  primarily
attributable  to increased  revenue, improved  gross margin  and decreased total
operating expenses.
 
    Net other income  (expense) decreased by  $48,800 to ($37,700)  for the  six
months  ended June 30, 1996 from $11,100 for the six months ended June 30, 1995.
This change  was  primarily due  to  interest  expense of  $44,100  incurred  in
connection  with the  funds borrowed  by the  Company during  1995. See "Certain
Transactions."
 
    As a result of the foregoing, net  income increased to $125,800 for the  six
months  ended June 30, 1996, as  compared to a net loss  of $725,900 for the six
months ended June 30, 1995.
 
    Income taxes are  accounted for  in accordance with  Statement of  Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109. Due to the Company's history of pre-tax losses and
uncertainty  surrounding the timing  of realizing the  benefits of net operating
loss carryforwards, the Company has  recorded a valuation allowance against  all
of  its net deferred tax  assets as of June 30,  1996. In reaching the Company's
determination of the  need to provide  a deferred tax  valuation allowance,  the
Company  considered all available evidence, both  positive and negative, as well
as the weight and importance given to such evidence. Management concluded that a
valuation allowance against deferred tax  assets was appropriate at the  current
time,  in accordance with  Statement of Financial  Accounting Standards No. 109.
Specifically, the Company has had annual losses  in each of the two years  ended
December 31, 1994 and 1995, and has only had net income for the six months ended
June 30, 1996.
 
    YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 AND 1994
 
    Revenue  increased by $975,700, or approximately 107%, to $1,883,800 for the
year ended  December  31, 1995,  as  compared to  $908,100  for the  year  ended
December  31, 1994. Such increase was primarily attributable to the introduction
and sale of the FlashPoint 5000 and Pixsys 5000 products.
 
    Cost of goods sold increased by $291,000, or approximately 58%, to  $793,600
for  the year ended December  31, 1995, compared to  $502,600 for the year ended
December 31, 1994. Cost of  goods sold as a  percentage of revenue decreased  to
42%  for the year ended December 31, 1995, as compared to 55% for the year ended
December 31, 1994. The increase in cost of goods sold was primarily attributable
to the  increased  revenue during  the  year ended  December  31, 1995  and  the
decrease  in  cost  of goods  sold  as  a percentage  of  revenue  was primarily
attributable to the resulting economies of scale from higher production volume.
 
    Gross profit increased by $684,700, or approximately 169%, to $1,090,200 for
the year ended December  31, 1995, as  compared to $405,500  for the year  ended
December  31, 1994. Such  increase was principally  a result of  the increase in
revenue.
 
    Research and development  expenses increased by  $335,800, or  approximately
115%,  to $627,300 for the year ended December 31, 1995, as compared to $291,500
for the  year ended  December 31,  1994. This  increase was  principally due  to
development  of  the  FlashPoint  5000  and  Pixsys  5000  products,  which were
commercially introduced during the second quarter of 1995.
 
    Selling and marketing expenses increased by $162,000, or approximately  27%,
to  $767,700 for the year  ended December 31, 1995,  as compared to $605,700 for
the year ended December 31,  1994. Such increase was  primarily a result of  the
Company's  plan to sell SNT's ear, nose and throat system, which effort ended in
the fourth quarter of 1995. See "Business--Intellectual Property."
 
                                       17

    General and administrative expenses  increased by $44,200, or  approximately
8%,  to $595,600 for the  year ended December 31,  1995, as compared to $551,400
for the year  ended December  31, 1994. Such  increase was  attributable to  the
addition of personnel and related expenses.
 
    Operating  loss decreased by $142,700, or approximately 14%, to $900,400 for
the year ended December 31, 1995, as compared to an operating loss of $1,043,100
for the year ended December 31,  1994. This decrease was primarily  attributable
to increased revenue.
 
    Net  other expenses, comprised principally of interest expense, increased by
$134,400 (781%) to $151,600  for the year ended  December 31, 1995 from  $17,200
for the year ended December 31, 1994 due to additional borrowings in 1995.
 
    As a result of the foregoing, net loss decreased by $8,400, or approximately
1%,  to  $1,051,900  for  the  year ended  December  31,  1995,  as  compared to
$1,060,300 for the year ended December 31, 1994.
 
    Income tax benefits were not recognized  on the Company's 1994 and 1995  net
operating  losses due to  the uncertainty surrounding  the future utilization of
such net operating losses. As of December 31, 1995, the Company's net  operating
loss  carryforwards were  approximately $2,788,000  which expire  from the years
2006 to 2010. The Company's ability to use the net operating loss  carryforwards
are  limited due  to certain  changes in  ownership as  defined by  the Internal
Revenue Code. Due to the Company's history of pre-tax losses and the uncertainty
surrounding  the  timing  of  realizing  the  benefits  of  net  operating  loss
carryforwards, the Company has placed a valuation allowance against its deferred
tax assets. See Note 6 of Notes to Financial Statements.
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
    During the six months ended June 30, 1996, the Company used $154,400 in cash
for  operating activities, principally to fund increased accounts receivable and
inventories. The  Company also  used $77,100  in cash  for investing  activities
during  the  six month  period  ended June  30,  1996 to  purchase  property and
equipment. Also during  the six month  period ended June  30, 1996, $337,500  in
cash was provided by the exercise by certain warrantholders of their warrants to
purchase 337,500 shares of Common Stock. See "Certain Transactions."
 
    During  1995, the Company issued $775,000  in promissory notes, all of which
are scheduled to mature in  June 1997. In connection  with the issuance of  such
notes (and the warrants coupled therewith), the Company recorded a debt discount
of  $131,700 in 1995.  As of June 30,  1996, $86,300 in  interest had accrued on
these notes. The Company intends to pay the principal amount of and accrued  and
unpaid  interest on these notes  in full with a portion  of the proceeds of this
offering. See "Certain Transactions" and "Use of Proceeds."
 
    As of June 30, 1996, the Company  had a working capital deficit of  $296,800
compared  to a working capital  deficit of $695,100 at  December 31, 1995 (which
includes $861,300 and $818,200, respectively, of principal and interest owed  on
the  loans which are to be repaid in connection with this offering). See "Use of
Proceeds". The  improvement  in working  capital  was primarily  the  result  of
increases  in  accounts  receivable,  inventories and  cash  resulting  from the
Company's 1996  net  income and  the  exercise of  the  warrants.  Historically,
working  capital required to  finance the Company's growth  has been provided by
short-term borrowings  and private  placement stock  offerings. As  of June  30,
1996, the Company did not have a line of credit.
 
    Based  on the  Company's business  plan, the  Company believes  that the net
proceeds  of  this  offering,  together  with  funds  generated  by   continuing
operations,  will be sufficient to permit  the Company to conduct its operations
as currently contemplated for at least the next 18 months. Such belief is  based
on  certain assumptions, and there can be  no assurance that such resources will
be sufficient for such purpose. The Company may be required to raise substantial
additional capital in  the future in  order to expand  operations. In  addition,
contingencies  may  arise which  may require  the  Company to  obtain additional
capital. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain  such
capital  from  any other  sources  on favorable  terms or  at  all. See  "Use of
Proceeds".

                                    BUSINESS
 
GENERAL
 
    The  Company  designs,  develops,  manufactures  and  markets  products  for
real-time, precise, free-hand, localization of points in 3D space. The Company's
optical localizers, typically consisting of a number of custom-manufactured LEDs
mounted on a device or instrument to be tracked in 3D space, a relative position
dynamic  reference device connected to the measured object, a multi-camera array
for detecting  the LED  emissions,  a proprietary  microprocessor-based  control
system, and proprietary software to calculate the digital coordinate location of
the LEDs, have both medical and industrial applications.
 
        MEDICAL  APPLICATIONS.   The  Company's  FlashPoint localizer  is  a key
    component of the anatomical image display workstation used by physicians  to
    perform  image  guided  surgery,  a  specialty  procedure  in  the  field of
    minimally invasive surgery. When the  FlashPoint localizer is combined  with
    the  imaging software  provided by the  Company's customers  (such as Zeiss,
    GEMS, SNT/Sofamor  Danek and  DeeMed), the  location of  specially  designed
    surgical  instruments can  be tracked in  relation to  the patient's anatomy
    during surgical procedures by display as an overlay on the MRI or CT  image.
    The  Company believes that the ability of  the surgeon to track the location
    of specially designed surgical instruments on the image display  workstation
    can  result in less invasive procedures  that lead to shorter hospital stays
    and improved patient outcomes.
 
        INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS.   The  Company's Pixsys  localizer is  used  in
    various  industrial applications to measure the position or shape of objects
    in  3D   space.   Illustrative  uses   include   inspection  of   parts   by
    Harley-Davidson, Inc., detection of surface deformities in car bodies during
    manufacture  by Daimler Benz, and as a 3D navigation aid in its zero gravity
    chamber by NASA.
 
    The Company's business strategy is to systematically enhance the performance
of its optical  localizers while expanding  the market for  such products.  With
respect  to  enhancing its  products,  the Company  is  seeking to  increase the
products' accuracy, enlarge the field-of-view,  increase the sample/ frame  rate
(throughput)  and improve the customer computer interface. With regard to market
expansion,  the   Company  is   seeking  to   identify  additional   measurement
applications for its products.
 
IMAGE GUIDED SURGERY
 
    In image guided surgery, a surgeon tracks the location of specially designed
surgical  instruments on  the medical  image (such as  CT or  MRI). Image guided
surgery requires a  method for  registering (i.e.,  mapping) the  points in  the
medical  image onto  the patient's  anatomical physical  space and  a method for
localizing (i.e., determining the position in 3D space of) the surgical probe or
pointer.
 
    Localization determines the position in 3D space of the registration  points
and the surgical probe or pointer. The Company's FlashPoint product is used as a
localizer  for medical applications. Surgical position  is key to the successful
completion of a surgical procedure.
 
    Until registered,  the medical  image  is only  a  picture of  the  relevant
anatomy  and not a map.  By registering the image  space with the physical space
itself, the image  is said  to have been  registered. By  registering the  image
space  with the physical space, medical  images become true, point-to-point maps
available for precise surgical  guidance. The imaging  software provided by  the
Company's  medical  customers, registers  the  medical image  with  the physical
space.
 
    Traditionally, pre-operative  medical  images  (such  as  CT  or  MRI)  were
available  as pictures that were used for  surgical guidance only insofar as the
judgment, skill and experience of the  surgeon permitted. Prior to surgery,  the
surgeon  arranged the patient's  CT or MRI  scans (images) upon  a light box and
carefully reviewed  them.  Upon  commencement of  the  surgical  procedure,  the
surgeon,  based upon  his or  her memory  of the  information displayed  on such
images, performed the surgical procedure.
 
    Image guided surgery,  by allowing the  patient's CT, MRI  or other  medical
image  to  be  used as  a  map, provides  the  surgeon with  a  real-time visual
representation of the surgical probe or pointing
 
                                       19

device on the interactive medical image.  It allows the spatial position of  the
probe or pointer to be tracked during the surgical procedure and to be displayed
as  an overlay on the medical image shown on the work station. The medical image
may either  be historical  (i.e., pre-operative)  as in  the products  currently
being  sold  by  Zeiss,  SNT/Sofamor  Danek  and  DeeMed,  or  real-time  (i.e.,
intraoperative)   as   in   the   product   being   developed   by   GEMS.   See
"Business--Customers and Use."
 
    Image guided surgery couples recent advances in imaging with the instruments
used in the course of surgery. The result, the Company believes, can be smaller,
less  invasive  procedures  that lead  to  shorter hospital  stays  and improved
patient outcomes. While image guided surgery  has been most extensively used  in
neurosurgery,  the Company  anticipates that  image guided  surgery will provide
benefits for ear, nose and  throat surgery, needle biopsies, orthopedics  (e.g.,
hip replacement surgery), maxillofacial surgery and radiosurgery.
 
PRODUCTS
 
    The  FlashPoint and Pixsys localizers consist  of a number of markers (LEDs)
mounted on a pointer device or surgical instrument, a relative position  dynamic
reference device ("Dynamic Reference Frame") connected to the measured object (a
patient  in a  medical application  or a part  in an  industrial application), a
multi-camera array  for detecting  the  X, Y  and Z  positions  of the  LEDs,  a
proprietary  microprocessor based control system,  and a proprietary, internally
developed, software  package.  The  Company's  optical  localizer  is  an  input
subsystem  providing real-time mathematical coordinates  to a host computer. The
Company's optical localizer determines  the position of  the hand-held probe  or
surgical  instrument and the patient reference device by tracking the X, Y and Z
coordinates of  each infrared  light  emitting diode  mounted  on the  probe  or
surgical  instrument and reference device. It then communicates this position in
the form of X, Y and Z coordinates to the host computer.
 
    DYNAMIC REFERENCE FRAME.  The Dynamic Reference Frame, typically three  LEDs
mounted  on a fixed frame, allows the patient to be moved during an image guided
surgical procedure while maintaining registration between the scanned image, the
surgical instrument and the patient. Without this type of feature, the physician
would be  unable  to  move the  patient,  or,  if the  patient  was  moved,  the
registration  process would have to be  repeated, adding significant time to the
surgical procedure.
 
    INSTRUMENTS.   The  Company,  in conjunction  with  custom  fabricators  and
surgical  instrument  manufacturers,  provides  various  probes  and instruments
employing LEDs  as  component  parts  to its  optical  localizers.  For  medical
applications,  the LED is placed on the handle, and the distance between the LED
and the tip of the probe is precisely calibrated. These instruments are designed
to be reused on  a limited basis.  Management plans to  design and market  other
instruments which will be disposable for use with its localizer.
 
    MARKERS.  The Company's present line of optical localizers utilize infra-red
LED  markers, the positions  of which are  tracked by the  FlashPoint and Pixsys
systems. Because the emission characteristics of each LED affects overall system
performance, the Company  provides a  custom-manufactured line of  LEDs for  its
products.  The  LEDs are  consumable items  and,  depending upon  the customer's
application, the life expectancy varies.
 
    [A picture appears on  this page depicting  the Company's optical  localizer
under the heading "IGT Optical Localizer," including a sensor assembly with text
above  it which says "The sensor assembly, mounted overhead, tracks the position
of the  instrument,"  a  dynamic  reference  frame  labeled  "Dynamic  Reference
Frame-Registered  Trademark-," and a handheld  instrument or probe equipped with
LEDs with  text on  the left  of it  which says  "Handheld instrument  or  probe
equipped with LEDs," along with a square box labeled "Host Computer, Proprietary
Software."]
 
    The FlashPoint and Pixsys localizers have a mean accuracy of better than 0.4
mm with a maximum error within a 1 meter sphere of less than 1 mm. This accuracy
is  achieved both  through the design  of the product  and through the  use of a
highly accurate calibration process. The device used to
 
                                       20

calibrate the FlashPoint and  Pixsys products is a  Zeiss DB 900 4860-36  bridge
type,  dual beam Coordinate Measuring Machine  ("CMM"). The CMM is a measurement
device which has a linear displacement accuracy of: X axis = 0.0076 mm, Y axis =
0.0102 mm, Z axis =  0.0064 mm, and a volumetric  performance of 0.0165 mm.  The
CMM is routinely calibrated to, and the results are traceable to the appropriate
standards  of, the  National Institute of  Science and  Technology ("NIST"). See
"Business--Manufacturing Operations."
 
CUSTOMERS AND USE
 
    MEDICAL APPLICATIONS.
 
    The Company's FlashPoint  product is used  to determine the  position in  3D
space  of the surgical probe or  instrument. The FlashPoint 5000 medical optical
localizer  is  currently  being  integrated   into  products  of  GEMs,   Zeiss,
SNT\Sofamor Danek and DeeMed.
 
    GE  MEDICAL SYSTEMS,  MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN.   In  1993, GEMS  introduced its
magnetic resonance guided therapy ("MRT") system which provides direct physician
access to  the patient  during imaging,  giving a  real-time, internal  view  of
patients  for procedures such as needle biopsies. MRT is currently used to plan,
guide and monitor surgical procedures in a minimally invasive manner. FlashPoint
is being used by  GEMS for the  guidance system in its  MRT device. The  initial
GEMS MRT system is at Harvard University's Brigham and Women's Hospital. GEMS is
currently  shipping this system to clinical sites worldwide and is preparing its
submission to the FDA.
 
    CARL ZEISS, OBERKOCHEN,  GERMANY.   The Company's FlashPoint  product is  an
integral  and  essential  component of  the  Zeiss SMN  Stereotactic  System. By
combining imaging diagnostic data with powerful computers, precision optics  and
finely   crafted  hand-held   instrumentation,  Zeiss  has   created  a  product
enhancement to its operating  microscope line. In  November 1995, Zeiss  entered
into  an OEM agreement with  the Company under which  the Company provides Zeiss
with its optical localizers.  The SMN product is  targeted as an enhancement  to
Zeiss' worldwide installed base of surgical microscope systems.
 
    SURGICAL   NAVIGATION  TECHNOLOGIES,   INC.,  BROOMFIELD,   COLORADO.    SNT
integrates  FlashPoint  into  its   StealthStation-TM-,  which  offers   precise
real-time  positional information for free-hand  stereotaxy in neurosurgical and
spinal applications.  SNT is  the system  integrator for  Sofamor Danek  Group's
neuro-navigation  system. Sofamor Danek is SNT's exclusive distributor for SNT's
StealthStation and acquired SNT in May 1996.
 
    DEEMED INTERNATIONAL, GRENOBLE, FRANCE.  DeeMed incorporates the  FlashPoint
system into the Surgiscope, its surgical robot utilized for accurate positioning
of  surgical microscopes. DeeMed first used the FlashPoint system in its initial
prototype in early 1993.  The original system continues  in operation at  Necker
Hospital,  Paris, France.  DeeMed was acquired  by Electa Instrument  AB in July
1996.
 
    INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS.
 
    The Company's Pixsys product is used  to determine the position or shape  of
an  object  by rapidly  collecting  a large  number  of points  on  the object's
surface. To date, each  of the Company's industrial  customers has purchased  no
more  than several Pixsys products. The  following sets forth several indicative
ways  in  which  the  Pixsys   product  is  used  in  industrial   applications:
Harley-Davidson  uses  such product  to inspect  parts;  Daimler Benz  uses such
product in its  system for detecting  surface deformities in  car bodies  during
manufacture;  and NASA  uses such  product as  a 3D  navigation aid  in its zero
gravity chamber.
 
    The Company is seeking additional  applications for its Pixsys product.  For
example, Brewco, Inc., Central City, Kentucky ("Brewco") has contracted with the
Company  for  the Company  to develop  a proof  of concept  model of  its Pixsys
product for  use  with  Brewco's frame  straightening  machines  for  automobile
collision repair. If the concept proves viable, the parties contemplate entering
into  an original equipment manufacturer ("OEM") agreement pursuant to which the
Company will supply
 
                                       21

its Pixsys product  to Brewco and  Brewco will incorporate  the Pixsys into  its
system  to measure the distortion caused by the collision and the results of the
straightening operation.  There can  be  no assurance,  however, that  any  such
product  will be developed, or if developed,  be economical or accurate, or that
the parties will enter into an OEM agreement.
 
MARKETING AND SALES
 
    The Company employs a  marketing strategy focused  on selling its  localizer
under  OEM  agreements  to  a  number of  medical  device  companies.  Since the
localizer is a key component in the OEM's image guided surgery system and  since
the  OEM has to design its system specifically to incorporate the localizer, the
OEM agreements  are intended  to  assure the  OEM that  the  Company will  be  a
reliable  supplier. The Company  anticipates that it  will make available source
code escrow agreements to the OEM which, in appropriate circumstances, may grant
the OEM the license to manufacture the localizer using the Company's  technology
for  the  purpose of  incorporating  it into  OEM's  product if  the  Company is
unwilling or unable to comply with its obligations under the OEM agreement.  The
Company  currently has OEM agreements with  Zeiss and DeeMed; however, the Zeiss
OEM agreement  expires on  October 31,  1996 (though  product has  been  ordered
through  December, 1996) and  there are no minimum  purchase requirements in the
DeeMed OEM agreement. See "Business--Backlog."
 
    The Company's marketing strategy  includes selling to  OEMs and value  added
resellers  ("VARs") who  will include  the Company's  Pixsys product  into their
systems for industrial applications. The Pixsys products used by Harley-Davidson
were sold  to Computer  Design, Inc.  and integrated  into its  proprietary  CAD
(computer  aided design) software package. The Company also has a domestic sales
representation agreement with  SANDAB, Inc.  ("SANDAB") under  which SANDAB  has
been  appointed  the Company's  exclusive representative  to sell  the Company's
products to  non-medical  users  in  the  States  of  Michigan,  Indiana,  Ohio,
Pennsylvania  and West Virginia and the  Province of Ontario. This agreement can
be terminated on 90 days advance written notice by either party.
 
BACKLOG
 
    At December 31, 1995, the Company's  backlog was $1,832,700 and at June  30,
1996  it was $870,600. Since backlog fluctuates depending on how customers order
its products  and over  what period  of  time, the  Company currently  does  not
consider backlog to be a meaningful indicator of future sales.
 
COMPETITION
 
    Although  3D localization can be  performed in a number  of ways, the use of
LEDs as markers and optical sensor  arrays as receivers in systems is  currently
the  technology of  choice for  manufacturers of  image guided  surgery systems.
Currently, two  designs  of  optical localizers  are  available.  The  Company's
FlashPoint  product, as  well as the  NDI OPTOTRAK-Registered  Trademark-, use a
technical approach  that employs  three linear  photo detectors,  also known  as
linear  charge coupled devices  ("CCDs"), in the camera  assembly. Each of these
linear arrays has  between 2000 and  5000 discrete CCD  elements called  pixels,
arrayed  in a single line which can be quickly scanned to determine the location
of  the  light  energy   being  detected.  The   second  approach  employs   two
two-dimensional  arrays having between 250 to 1000 elements (pixels) in each row
of a CCD that is arrayed in a  matrix of equal length rows and columns. In  this
configuration,  the CCD array must be scanned sequentially through each row from
top to bottom, the same as a standard television camera, to measure the location
of the light  energy being emitted.  Since the  linear array CCD  has a  greater
number  of pixels than any row of  the two-dimensional (matrix) CCD, there is an
increased  resolution  in  the  linear  array  which  contributes  to  increased
accuracy. Additionally, since the linear array only needs to be scanned from end
to end to measure the light being detected and the 2D array must be scanned from
the  beginning of the top  row to the end  of the bottom row  in the matrix, the
linear array systems can provide faster throughput of measurements.
 
    The Company's  primary competitor  in the  medical OEM  market is  NDI.  NDI
markets  both the OPTOTRAK and  the Polaris to the  medical OEM marketplace. The
OPTOTRAK is a  high performance 3D,  infrared based optical  localizer having  a
selling price of approximately $60,000. Although the
 
                                       22

OPTOTRAK  has been found useful  in motion tracking, its  physical size and cost
have generally limited its medical applications to proof-of-concept and research
applications. In  April 1996,  NDI  introduced the  Polaris, an  infrared  based
optical  localizer using  two two-dimensional CCD  cameras. Preliminary feedback
from the marketplace indicates the  Polaris has reduced performance compared  to
the  OPTOTRAK  and  has  an  approximate  selling  price  of  $25,000,  which is
comparable to  the  Company's  list  price for  its  FlashPoint  product.  Other
companies,  such as Phillips Medical Systems,  Radionics, Inc. and BrainLab GmbH
have developed two camera optical localization devices for their prototype image
guided surgery systems.
 
    Companies have also attempted to  use other mediums as localization  devices
for medical applications. For example, much of the early technical work relative
to  medical applications involved the use  of tracking sound marker systems. The
inherent characteristics  of the  sound markers  used in  medical  applications,
coupled  with the technical limitations of the  use of sound based systems in an
MRI or  operating room  environment, hampered  the medical  application of  this
technology.  Only  one major  medical company  used  the sonic  technology. That
company no  longer uses  such  technology. Sonic  technology  is still  used  in
industrial  applications because  of its ability  to make  measurements in large
fields-of-view.
 
    Mechanical arm localizers  are used extensively  in industrial  application,
but  are used as the basis of only two medical devices. In medical applications,
the "feel" and range of motion of the arm impose significant constraints on  the
surgeon,  thus  limiting  the  use  of  the  device.  Similarly,  magnetic field
digitizers have also been used in,  or evaluated for, such applications.  Errors
caused by the movement of metal components in and around the surgical field have
made  these  magnetic  field  localizers impractical  for  most  general surgery
applications.
 
    Companies other than NDI may  also become competitors. Competitors may  have
substantially  greater financial, technical,  marketing, manufacturing and human
resources, as well  as name recognition,  than the Company.  Competitors may  be
able  to respond  more quickly  to new or  emerging technologies  and changes in
customer requirements  and  to devote  substantially  greater resources  to  the
research and development, marketing and sale of their products than the Company.
Also,  the Company's customers may determine  to develop their own localizers to
insure  control  over   their  localizer  technology   or  for  other   reasons.
Furthermore,  such competitors may  develop technology other  than that based on
infrared optics that is more effective or economical than the technology of  the
Company in localizing a point in 3D space. See "Risk Factors--Competition."
 
MANUFACTURING OPERATIONS
 
    The  Company's manufacturing activities primarily  consist of assembling and
testing components and subassemblies acquired from qualified vendors, as well as
final assembly and testing of the Company's fully-configured systems. Components
are generally available from  several sources although  the order lead-time  for
the  semi-custom isolated power  supply used in the  FlashPoint 5000 varies from
four to six  months. The  Company's recent relocation  to its  new facility  has
allowed  it to  expand its  manufacturing space.  The new  facility has adequate
expansion room to nearly double the manufacturing space presently being used. An
integrated manufacturing planning and control computer system is in place  which
provides for material requirements planning and inventory control, manufacturing
planning  and  scheduling and  production work  order tracking.  See "Business--
Facilities."
 
    The  Company  recently  made  a   significant  investment  to  improve   the
calibration  process  for the  products being  shipped to  its customers.  A CMM
measurement device was leased and installed in the new facility. This new system
provides  a  higher  degree  of  accuracy  and  consistency  in  the   Company's
calibration  process and  gives the  Company a  final calibration  tool which is
traceable to  NIST standards.  The CMM  system  is also  used by  the  Company's
research  and  development  staff  for research  and  development  projects. See
"Business--Products."
 
                                       23

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
 
    The Company  has  been  issued  U.S.  Patent  5,198,877  on  its  SprayLight
technology  which is  a non-contact,  laser based,  hand-held 3D  localizer that
allows the  user to  acquire simply  and easily  a multitude  of points  on  the
surface of an object or anatomy by sweeping a hand-held scanner over the desired
target.  The Company has filed five additional patent applications with the U.S.
Patent and Trademark Office and  has submitted several applications for  patents
to  various international patent agencies. However, the Company primarily relies
on  a  combination   of  trade   secret  and  copyright   laws,  together   with
non-disclosure  agreements, to establish  and protect proprietary  rights in its
products. These measures  only afford limited  protection, and there  can be  no
assurance  that the steps taken by the Company to protect its proprietary rights
will be adequate to prevent misappropriation of its technology.
 
    The Company's  optical  localizer is  a  complicated measuring  device.  Its
software  contains elaborate mathematical modeling  and its manufacture requires
precise production and careful calibration.  The Company believes that it  would
be  impractical and not cost-effective for third parties to attempt to duplicate
the  Company's   software   and  production   process.   Unauthorized   parties,
nevertheless, may attempt to copy aspects of the Company's products or to obtain
and  use  information  that the  Company  regards  as proprietary.  The  cost of
enforcement by  the Company  of  its proprietary  rights could  be  significant,
regardless  of  the  outcome  of  such  enforcement  proceedings.  Moreover, the
Company's proprietary rights will  not prevent competitors  of the Company  from
developing   their  own  localizers  using   their  own  technology.  See  "Risk
Factors--Absence of Patent Protection" and "Risk Factors-- Competition."
 
    On January 24, 1995,  St. Louis University was  granted a patent covering  a
particular  technique for determining the position  of a surgical probe within a
patient's body on  an historical  image of  that body.  Shortly thereafter,  the
Company entered into an agreement with SNT, under which, among other things, (i)
the  Company agreed to supply, and SNT agreed to purchase, the Company's optical
localizer, (ii) the  Company agreed  not to sell  its optical  localizer to  any
customer  whose  use would  knowingly  infringe the  SLU  Patent, and  (iii) the
Company was granted the  exclusive right, subject to  certain minimums, to  sell
SNT's  image  display  workstations  to ENT  (ear,  nose  and  throat) customers
worldwide. The agreement with SNT was terminated at the Company's request in the
fall of  1995; SNT/Sofamor  Danek remains  a key  customer of  the Company.  The
Company  believes that the manufacture and sale of its FlashPoint localizer will
not infringe the SLU Patent, since a  localizer is only a component part in  the
system  patented  by  SLU  and  since  the  Company's  FlashPoint  localizer has
substantial non-infringing uses. Under one part of the agreement with SNT  which
was  not terminated,  the Company  assigned to  St. Louis  University any right,
title and  interest  it had  in  the  SLU Patent.  See  "Risk  Factors--Customer
Concentration;   Patents   on  Systems   That   Utilize  Localizers"   and  Risk
Factors--Absence of Patent Protection."
 
GOVERNMENT REGULATION
 
    The Company's FlashPoint localizer is incorporated into medical devices that
are subject  to extensive  regulation by  the  FDA and,  in some  instances,  by
foreign   and  state  governments.  The  FDA  regulates  the  clinical  testing,
manufacture, labeling, distribution, and promotion of medical devices. Before  a
new  device can be  introduced into the market,  the manufacturer must generally
obtain market clearance through either the 510(k) premarket notification process
or the lengthier  and more  costly PMA application  process. Noncompliance  with
applicable  requirements can result in,  among other things, fines, injunctions,
civil penalties, recall or seizure of  products, total or partial suspension  of
production,  failure of the government to grant premarket clearance or premarket
approval  for  devices,   withdrawal  of  marketing   approvals,  and   criminal
prosecution.  The FDA also  has the authority to  request repair, replacement or
refund of the cost of any device.
 
    In the United States, medical devices are classified in one of three classes
(Class I, II or III), on the basis  of the controls deemed necessary by the  FDA
to  reasonably  assure their  safety and  effectiveness. Under  FDA regulations,
Class I  devices  are  subject  to  general  controls  (for  example,  labeling,
 
                                       24

premarket  notification and adherence to GMPs)  and Class II devices are subject
to general and special controls (for example, performance standards,  postmarket
surveillance,  patient  registries, and  FDA  guidelines). Generally,  Class III
devices are those  which must receive  premarket approval by  the FDA to  ensure
their  safety and  effectiveness (for  example, life-sustaining, life-supporting
and implantable devices, or new devices which have not been found  substantially
equivalent to legally marketed devices).
 
    Before a new device can be introduced into the market, the manufacturer must
generally  obtain marketing clearance through either  a 510(k) notification or a
PMA application. A 510(k) clearance will be granted if the submitted information
establishes that the proposed device is "substantially equivalent" to a  legally
marketed  Class I  or II medical  device, or to  a Class III  medical device for
which the FDA has not called for a PMA. Commercial distribution of a device  for
which a 510(k) notification is required can begin only after FDA issues an order
finding  the device to be "substantially  equivalent" to a predicate device. The
FDA has recently  been requiring  a more rigorous  demonstration of  substantial
equivalence than in the past. It generally takes from four to twelve months from
the date of submission to obtain a 510(k) clearance, though it may take longer.
 
    A  PMA application must be  filed if a proposed  device is not substantially
equivalent to a legally marketed Class I or Class II device, or if it is a Class
III device  for  which FDA  has  called for  PMAs.  A PMA  application  must  be
supported  by valid scientific evidence which typically includes extensive data,
including human clinical trial data to demonstrate the safety and  effectiveness
of the device. The PMA application must also contain the results of all relevant
bench tests, laboratory and animal studies, a complete description of the device
and  its components, and  a detailed description of  the methods, facilities and
controls used  to  manufacture the  device.  In addition,  the  submission  must
include  the proposed labeling, advertising  literature and training methods (if
required). The PMA process can be expensive, uncertain and lengthy and a  number
of  devices for which FDA approval has  been sought have never been approved for
marketing.
 
    If human clinical trials of a device are required in connection with  either
a  510(k) notification or a  PMA, and the device  presents a "significant risk,"
the sponsor of  the trial (usually  the manufacturer or  the distributor of  the
device)  is  required  to  file  an  investigational  device  exemption  ("IDE")
application prior to commencing human clinical trials. The IDE application  must
be  supported by data, typically including  the results of animal and laboratory
testing. If the IDE application is reviewed  and approved by the FDA and one  or
more appropriate Institutional Review Boards ("IRBs"), human clinical trials may
begin  at a specific number  of investigational sites with  a specific number of
patients, as approved by the FDA. If the device presents a "nonsignificant risk"
to the patient, a sponsor may begin the clinical trial after obtaining  approval
for the study by one or more appropriate IRBs.
 
    The  Company  believes that  the FlashPoint  localizer  is a  medical device
component not subject to the full panoply of the FDA medical device regulations,
including the market clearance requirements. The medical equipment manufacturers
that incorporate  the FlashPoint  localizer into  their products  are,  however,
required   to  obtain  market   clearance  from  the   FDA  for  such  products.
Modifications  to   such  products   manufactured  by   the  medical   equipment
manufacturers   will  require  additional  clearances   or  approvals,  if  such
modifications could significantly  effect the  safety and  effectiveness of  the
devices  or  establish a  new  intended use  for the  devices.  There can  be no
assurance that the Company's customers have, with respect to their products that
incorporate FlashPoint localizers, complied or will  be able to comply with  all
applicable  market clearance requirements. Failure on  the part of the Company's
customers to comply with such requirements could have a material adverse  effect
on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
    There can be no assurance that the FDA will not require, or change its rules
or  interpretations so as to require, the Company to obtain 510(k) clearance for
its FlashPoint localizer apart from or in
 
                                       25

addition to  any market  clearances obtained  by its  medical device  customers.
Failure  of the Company to comply  with such market clearance requirements could
have a material adverse  affect on the  Company's business, financial  condition
and results of operations.
 
    Products  manufactured by the Company and  its medical device customers that
incorporate the Company's products are  subject to continuing regulation by  the
FDA. FDA enforcement policy strictly prohibits the promotion of products for any
uses  other  than  those  for  which clearance  or  approval  was  obtained. The
Company's manufacturing facilities  and those  of its  medical device  customers
that  incorporate its  products may also  be subject to  periodic inspection for
compliance with GMP and other regulatory requirements by the FDA and  comparable
state  agencies. The Company  is currently installing  the necessary systems and
controls to  become  certified  under  the  ISO  9001  standards  (the  European
equivalent  to GMPs). This process requires a significant investment of time and
resources to complete.
 
    The introduction into foreign markets of the Company's FlashPoint  localizer
and  the products  of the medical  equipment manufacturers  that incorporate the
FlashPoint localizer may also subject the Company and such customers to  foreign
regulatory  clearances and requirements which  may impose additional substantial
costs and burdens.  International sales of  medical devices are  subject to  the
regulatory  requirements  of each  country. The  regulatory process  varies from
country to country.
 
    Violations of  regulatory  requirements  of  the FDA  or  foreign  or  state
regulatory agencies or changes in such regulations or in interpretations of such
regulations,  could have  a material adverse  affect on  the Company's business,
financial condition and results of operations.
 
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
 
    The Company devotes a significant portion  of its resources to research  and
development.  In  1995,  33%  of  revenues  (or  $627,266)  were  spent  on  the
development and commercial introduction of the FlashPoint 5000 and Pixsys  5000.
The Company has estimated that approximately $1,000,000 (20.8%) of the estimated
net  proceeds of  this offering,  assuming an  initial public  offering price of
$5.00 per Share,  will be  allocated to  fund further  research and  development
activities and the Company believes that a substantial amount of capital will be
required to be allocated to such activities in the future.
 
    The  Company  has  developed  core  competencies  in  software  development,
mathematical modeling of the 3D measurement process, digital signal  processing,
circuit  design,  computer  system  integration  and  3D  optical  sensor system
development. Outside  consultants and  contract engineering  are employed,  when
needed,  for optical system  design, surgical instrument  development and safety
engineering. The Company's  engineers work  closely with  its OEMs  and VARs  to
assist in the integration of the Company's products with customer systems and to
identify new applications for the Company's products.
 
    The  Company is  currently developing a  family of  infra-red optical camera
systems to meet a range of  requirements for different sized fields-of-view  and
measurement  accuracy. Although  optical sensing systems  appear to  be the best
technology choice for the present time, the Company's advanced development  team
is  evaluating a number of methodologies for  detecting and measuring a point in
space and/or creating an image of a complex surface. These include a variety  of
both  passive and active markers, video imaging techniques and advanced software
and hardware designs.
 
    The Company's  product development  engineering staff  is currently  in  the
requirements development phase for the FlashPoint 6000 system, which will have a
higher  degree of accuracy,  a larger field-of-view,  a faster sample/frame rate
and a more flexible interface to customers' systems.
 
    Additional projects are in the planning stage to create a series of  unique,
proprietary  marker  devices  such  as  high  accuracy  LEDs,  passive  markers,
non-magnetic  markers  for  surgical  instruments  used  in  magnetic  resonance
environments  and a family  of probes and  instruments for both  the medical and
industrial markets. The Company is currently  considering making some or all  of
the
 
                                       26

probes  and instruments cost  effective, single-use disposable  items. These are
especially important for the medical markets served by the Company. There can be
no assurance, however, that any of these products will be developed.
 
    Although the Company intends to build  on, and expand its current  technical
competencies to introduce new products and product enhancements, it also intends
to  review  compatible,  complimentary technology  for  possible  acquisition or
licensing. See "Use of Proceeds."
 
PRODUCT LIABILITY INSURANCE
 
    The Company faces an inherent business risk of exposure to product liability
claims in the event that the use of its products is alleged to have resulted  in
adverse effects. To date, no product liability claims have been asserted against
the  Company. The Company  maintains a product  liability and commercial general
liability insurance policy  with coverage  of $1,000,000 per  occurrence and  an
annual aggregate maximum coverage of $2,000,000 ($1,000,000 for lawsuits outside
the  United States, Canada and Puerto Rico). The Company's product liability and
general liability policy is  provided on an occurrence  basis and is subject  to
annual  renewal. There can be no assurance that liability claims will not exceed
the coverage limits of such  policy or that such  insurance will continue to  be
available on commercially reasonable terms or at all. If the Company does not or
cannot  maintain  sufficient  liability  insurance, its  ability  to  market its
products could  be materially  adversely affected.  See "Risk  Factors--Risk  of
Product Liability Claims."
 
EMPLOYEES
 
    At  June 30, 1996,  the Company had twenty-four  full-time and one part-time
employee,  including  six   employees  in  research   and  development,  10   in
manufacturing  and  support  services,  two in  sales  and  marketing  and seven
employees in administration  and finance.  None of the  Company's employees  are
represented  by  a  collective bargaining  agreement  nor has  the  Company ever
experienced a  work  stoppage.  The  Company believes  its  relations  with  its
employees are satisfactory.
 
FACILITIES
 
    The  Company  occupies  12,900  square feet  within  a  133,000  square foot
multi-tenant facility in Boulder, Colorado,  where it performs all  development,
manufacturing,  marketing  and corporate  activities. The  base rent  payment is
approximately $9,200 per month for 1996,  $9,700 per month for 1997 and  $10,200
per  month for  1998. In addition  to base  rent, the Company  pays its pro-rata
share of building operating expenses, insurance and taxes and its own utilities.
The Company believes the present facility will provide adequate space during the
remaining term of the lease, which expires in January 1999.

- ------------------------
(1) On June 23, 1995, Mr. Ray was granted an option to purchase 50,000 shares of
    Common  Stock  at the  exercise price  of  $1.00 per  share. Such  option is
    subject to a three-year vesting period and will
 
                                       30

    thus  be  fully  vested  on  June  22,  1998.  See   "Management--Employment
    Agreements."  At the time of grant, the  fair market value of the option was
    determined by the Board of Directors to be $1.00 per share.
 
1994 STOCK OPTION PLAN
 
    In March 1994, the Board of Directors of the Company and, in November  1994,
the  shareholders of  the Company  adopted the Plan.  The Plan  provides for the
grant of options to purchase up to 800,000 shares of Common Stock to  employees,
directors,  and consultants  of the  Company. Options  may be  either "incentive
stock options" within the meaning of  Section 422 of the United States  Internal
Revenue  Code of 1986, as amended  (the "Code"), or non-qualified stock options.
Incentive stock options may be granted  only to employees of the Company,  while
non-qualified  stock  options  may  be  issued  to  non-employee  directors  and
consultants, as well as to employees of the Company.
 
    The Plan will be administered by  a committee of "disinterested members"  of
the  Board of Directors (as  defined by Rule 16b-3  under the Exchange Act), who
determine, among other things,  the individuals who  shall receive options,  the
time  period during which the  options may be partially  or fully exercised, the
number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of each option,  and
the option exercise price.
 
    The  exercise price per share of Common  Stock subject to an incentive stock
option may not be less than the fair  market value per share of Common Stock  on
the date the option is granted. The per share exercise price of the Common Stock
subject  to a non-qualified stock option may  be less than the fair market value
per share. The aggregate fair market value (determined as of the date the option
is granted) of Common Stock for which any person may be granted incentive  stock
options  which  first become  exercisable in  any calendar  year may  not exceed
$100,000. No  person  who owns,  directly  or indirectly,  at  the time  of  the
granting  of an incentive stock option to such  person, 10% or more of the total
combined  voting  power  of  all  classes  of  stock  of  the  Company  (a  "10%
Stockholder") shall be eligible to receive any incentive stock options under the
Plan  unless the exercise price is at least 110% of the fair market value of the
shares of Common Stock subject to the  option, determined on the date of  grant.
Non-qualified stock options are not subject to such limitation.
 
    No  stock option may be transferred by an optionee other than by will or the
laws of descent and distribution, and,  during the lifetime of an optionee,  the
option  will be exercisable only by the optionee, unless otherwise determined by
the Board of Directors. In the event of termination of employment other than  by
death or disability, the optionee will have no more than three months after such
termination  during which the optionee shall be entitled to exercise the option,
unless otherwise  determined by  the  Board of  Directors. Upon  termination  of
employment  of an  optionee by  reason of  death or  disability, such optionee's
options remain exercisable for  one year thereafter to  the extent such  options
were exercisable on the date of such termination, unless otherwise determined by
the Board of Directors.
 
    Options  under the Plan must  be issued within ten  years from the effective
date of  the Plan.  The effective  date of  the Plan  is March  15, 1994.  Stock
options  granted under the Plan cannot be exercised more than ten years from the
date of grant. Incentive stock options  issued to a 10% Stockholder are  limited
to  five-year terms. Options granted  under the Plan provide  for the payment of
the exercise price  in cash or,  with the  approval of the  Board of  Directors,
provide  for the  payment of the  exercise price  by delivery to  the Company of
shares of Common Stock already owned by the optionee having a fair market  value
equal  to the  exercise price  of the  options being  exercised. Therefore, such
optionee may be  able to tender  shares of Common  Stock to purchase  additional
shares  of Common Stock and may theoretically  exercise all of his stock options
with no additional investment other than the purchase of his original shares.
 
    Any unexercised options  that expire  or that terminate  upon an  employee's
ceasing  to be employed by the Company become available again for issuance under
the Plan.
 
                                       31

    To date, options to acquire 710,840 shares of Common Stock have been granted
under the Plan. Of such options, options to acquire for 212,000 shares of Common
Stock are  exercisable at  an exercise  price  of $0.99  per share,  options  to
acquire  for 101,200 shares of Common Stock are exercisable at an exercise price
of $1.33 per share, and  options to acquire for  397,640 shares of Common  Stock
are exercisable at an exercise price of $1.00 per share.
 
401(K) PLAN
 
    In  June  1996, the  Company adopted  a  tax-qualified employee  savings and
retirement plan (the  "401(k) Plan")  covering all of  the Company's  employees.
Pursuant to the 401(k) Plan, employees who have been employed by the Company for
at least one year may elect to reduce their current compensation by an amount up
to  the  annual statutory  limit ($9,500  in 1996)  and have  the amount  of the
reduction contributed to the 401(k) Plan.  The Company may also make  additional
discretionary  employer contributions to the 401(k)  Plan. The trustee under the
401(k) Plan invests the assets of the  401(k) Plan in any of several  investment
options. The 401(k) Plan is intended to qualify under Section 401 of the Code so
that  contributions by the  employees to the  401(k) Plan, and  income earned on
plan contributions, are not  taxable to employees until  withdrawn, and so  that
the  contributions  by employees  will be  deductible from  gross income  by the
Company when made. Any Company contributions vest at a rate of 20% per year from
the employee's date of employment through the fifth anniversary thereof.

(1) Potentially  realizable value  is based  on the  assumption that  the Common
    Stock price appreciates at the annual rate shown (compounded annually)  from
    the  date  of grant  until the  end of  the seven-year  option term  for the
    options shown. The fair market value of  the Common Stock as of the date  of
    grant, June 23, 1995, was determined to be $1.00 per share. The Common Stock
    price  at the end of  the seven-year option term would  be $1.41 based on an
    annual 5% appreciation rate  and $1.95 based on  an annual 10%  appreciation
    rate. The amounts have been calculated based on the requirements promulgated
    by  the Securities and Exchange Commission  (the "Commission"). There can be
    no assurance  that the  value realized  will  be at  or near  the  potential
    realizable value as shown in this table.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS
 
    Paul  L. Ray, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors
of the Company, has a two-year  employment agreement (the "Ray Agreement")  with
the Company that terminates on December 31, 1997. The Ray Agreement provides for
an  annual salary of $105,000. Mr. Ray's compensation package (including salary,
bonus and stock options and/or other equity incentives) is subject to an  annual
review  by the Board of  Directors, but no portion  of such compensation package
can be  decreased  without  Mr.  Ray's written  consent.  Pursuant  to  the  Ray
Agreement,  options granted to Mr.  Ray by virtue of  option agreements with the
Company shall expire seven years from  the date of grant and remain  exercisable
for  a seven-year  period regardless  of whether  Mr. Ray's  employment with the
Company terminates  earlier  and  notwithstanding contrary  provisions  in  said
option  agreements. Options  not vested on  Mr. Ray's  termination of employment
shall be forfeited unless the Board of Directors decides otherwise. In the event
of a Change in  Control of the  Company (as defined in  the Ray Agreement),  all
options  previously granted to Mr. Ray  which remain unvested will automatically
vest immediately. Upon a termination of Mr. Ray's employment following a  Change
in  Control, unless Mr. Ray voluntarily terminates his employment for other than
certain listed reasons (which he has the  right to do upon at least thirty  days
written  notice  to the  Company), the  Company is  to  pay Mr.  Ray a  lump sum
severance payment of one-half of his then current annual salary. In addition, if
Mr. Ray's employment is terminated (i) upon  his death, (ii) by the Company  due
to  various  described disability  circumstances, (iii)  by the  Company without
cause or (iv) by  Mr. Ray voluntarily upon  the Company's default or  unremedied
Adverse  Change in Duties (as defined in the Ray Agreement), then the Company is
to pay Mr.  Ray a lump  sum severance payment  of one-half of  his then  current
annual  salary. Upon the termination  of Ray's Agreement, Mr.  Ray is subject to
certain non-compete,  non-disturbance  and  non-interference  provisions  for  a
period of six months.
 
    Robert  E. Silligman, President and Chief  Operating Officer of the Company,
has an employment agreement with the Company which expires on November 30,  1997
(the  "Silligman  Agreement"). The  Silligman Agreement  provides for  an annual
salary of  $90,000,  annual  compensation review  provisions  similar  to  those
described  above with  respect to the  Ray Agreement, and  similar provisions to
those set  forth in  the Ray  Agreement  with respect  to (i)  automatic  option
vesting  on Change in Control, (ii) severance on termination following Change in
Control, (iii) severance on termination  for other causes and (iv)  non-compete,
non-interference and non-disturbance upon termination of employment.
 
    Waldean  A. Schulz, Vice  President, Technology of the  Company, also has an
employment agreement with the Company (the "Schulz Agreement") which expires  on
December 31, 1997. The Schulz
 
                                       33

Agreement  provides for  an annual salary  of $80,000 and  provisions similar to
those described above with  respect to the Silligman  Agreement except that  the
Schulz    Agreement   provides   for   a   longer,   twelve-month   non-compete,
non-interference and non-disturbance upon termination of employment.
 
    Jeffrey J.  Hiller,  Vice  President,  Finance  of  the  Company  and  Chief
Financial  Officer,  also  has an  employment  agreement with  the  Company (the
"Hiller Agreement") which  expires on  December 31, 1997.  The Hiller  Agreement
provides  for an  annual salary  of $85,000  and contains  provisions similar to
those described above for Mr. Silligman.
 
INDEMNIFICATION
 
    Sections 7-109-102 and  7-109-107 of the  Colorado Business Corporation  Act
(the   "CBCA")  permit   indemnification  of   directors,  officers,  employees,
fiduciaries and agents of corporations  under certain conditions and subject  to
certain  limitations. The Company's By-Laws include provisions which require the
Company to indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent  permitted
by  the  CBCA, including  circumstances  in which  indemnification  is otherwise
discretionary. The Company's By-Laws include a provision which permits, but does
not require, the  Company to indemnify  its employees and  agents under  certain
prescribed circumstances within certain prescribed limitations. In addition, the
Company   maintains  directors'  and  officers'  liability  coverage  to  insure
indemnification of its directors and officers.
 
    Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities  Act
may  be permitted to directors, officers  and controlling persons of the Company
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company has been advised
that in the  opinion of the  Commission such indemnification  is against  public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

                              CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS
 
    Ray  L. Hauser, a  shareholder and member  of the Board  of Directors of the
Company, is an owner  of the facility  that was leased by  the Company until  it
moved  into its current office  space in February 1996.  Rent expense under such
lease was $21,645 in 1994 and $48,604 in 1995.
 
    During 1995,  the  Company  issued  a series  of  short-term  notes  in  the
aggregate principal amount of $775,000 for working capital. These were issued to
five  of the Company's  existing shareholders and  one director (the "Lenders").
Each Lender also received warrants ("Warrants") to purchase one share of  Common
Stock  for each $2 loaned to the Company as a term of the loan transaction. Each
note accrues  interest at  the rate  of  11% per  annum and  is secured  by  the
Company's  current and future inventory,  accounts receivable, intangible assets
and intellectual property. The Company intends to repay the principal amount of,
and accrued and unpaid interest on, such notes with a portion of the proceeds of
this offering.  See "Use  of  Proceeds." The  following  table sets  forth  each
Lender's  name, his or  its relationship to the  Company, the original principal
amount of  each note,  the number  of  warrants issued  in connection  with  the
issuance  of such ,  and the amount of  interest accrued on such  as of June 30,
1996.

                           DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
 
    The  authorized  capital stock  of the  Company  consists of  (i) 10,000,000
shares of Common  Stock and  (ii) 2,416,668 shares  of Preferred  Stock, no  par
value  (after  giving effect  to the  mandatory conversion  of 83,332  shares of
Preferred Stock into 380,363 shares of  Common Stock effective upon the  closing
of  this offering; the  "Preferred Stock"). The discussions  of the Common Stock
and Preferred Stock here and elsewhere in this Prospectus are qualified in their
entirety by reference to (i) the Restated and Amended Articles of  Incorporation
of  the Company, as amended, a copy of which has been filed as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement  of  which  this  Prospectus is  a  part,  and  (ii)  the
applicable provisions of the laws of the State of Colorado.
 
COMMON STOCK
 
    Immediately  prior  to the  closing of  this  offering, 2,084,699  shares of
Common Stock  were  issued  and  outstanding  and were  held  of  record  by  50
shareholders  (after giving effect to the  mandatory conversion of 83,332 shares
of Series A Preferred Stock into  380,363 shares of Common Stock effective  upon
the  closing of this offering). Holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote
for each share held of record on each matter submitted to a vote of shareholders
and do not have cumulative voting  rights in the election of directors.  Subject
to  the preferences that  may be applicable to  any outstanding Preferred Stock,
the holders of Common Stock are entitled  to receive such dividends, if any,  as
may  be declared from  time to time by  the Board of Directors.  In the event of
liquidation, dissolution, or winding  up of the Company,  the holders of  Common
Stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets of the Company remaining after
payment  of liabilities,  subject to  distribution preferences  of the Preferred
Stock, if  any,  then  outstanding.  The  Common  Stock  has  no  preemptive  or
conversion  rights  or other  subscription rights.  There  are no  redemption or
sinking fund provisions applicable to  the Common Stock. All outstanding  shares
of  Common Stock and the shares of Common  Stock to be issued upon completion of
this offering  will  be validly  authorized  and  issued, fully  paid  and  non-
assessable.  The rights, preferences  and privileges of  holders of Common Stock
are subject to the rights  of the holders of shares  of any series of  Preferred
Stock which the Company may issue in the future.
 
PREFERRED STOCK
 
    Upon  the closing of this offering, the  Company will be authorized to issue
up to 2,416,668 shares of Preferred Stock.  At the closing of this offering,  no
shares of Preferred Stock will be issued and outstanding. The Board of Directors
has the authority to issue the Preferred Stock in one or more series, to fix the
number  of shares  constituting each  such series  and the  designations thereof
(including the right to increase or decrease such numbers of shares), and to fix
the  rights,  preferences,  privileges  and  restrictions  thereof,  within  the
limitations  of the CBCA, as such act may be amended, including, but not limited
to, dividend  rights,  dividend  rates, conversion  rights,  redemption  rights,
voting  rights and liquidation preferences. The  issuance of Preferred Stock may
have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of  the
Company  without further action by the shareholders and may adversely affect the
voting and other  rights of the  holders of  Common Stock, The  issuance of  the
Preferred  Stock  with voting  and conversion  rights  may adversely  affect the
voting power  of the  holders of  Common  Stock, including  the loss  of  voting
control  to others. At present, the Company has no plans to issue any additional
Preferred Stock.  See  "Risk Factors--Preferred  Stock;  Possible  Anti-Takeover
Effects."
 
WARRANTS
 
    Immediately  prior  to  the  closing  of  this  offering,  the  Company  has
outstanding Warrants  to  purchase 50,000  shares  of  the Common  Stock  at  an
exercise  price of $1.00 per share. In  lieu of delivering the exercise price in
cash or by check, the holder may elect  to receive shares equal to the value  of
the  Warrant or  portion thereof  being exercised.  Holders of  the Warrants are
entitled to  advance notice  of certain  dividends and  distributions,  proposed
liquidation,  merger or consolidation and benefit from anti-dilution protection.
Holders of Warrants are  entitled to the Piggyback  Rights described below.  See
"Description of Securities--Registration Rights."
 
                                       38

REGISTRATION RIGHTS
 
    The holders of 717,863 shares of Common Stock and the holder of a Warrant to

Agreement,  dated as of July 8, 1994, between the Company and the holders of its
Series A  Preferred  Stock ("Registration  Rights  Agreement"), if  the  Company
proposes  at  any time  after 12  months after  the date  of this  Prospectus to

Series  A Preferred  Stock. Such shareholders  may also require  the Company, by
request of the holders  of a majority of  the aggregate outstanding  registrable

at the Company's expense with  respect to such shares  of Common Stock, and  the

and the registration  rights granted to  the holders of  the Warrants expire  on
March 15, 2000.
 
TRANSFER AGENT AND REGISTRAR
 
    The  Transfer Agent  and Registrar  for the  Common Stock  is American Stock
Transfer & Trust Company, 40 Wall Street, New York, New York 10005.
 
                                       39

                        SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE
 
    Upon completion of this offering, the Company will have 3,284,699 shares  of
Common  Stock outstanding (3,464,699  shares of Common  Stock outstanding if the
Representative's over-allotment option is exercised  in full). Of these  shares,
the  1,200,000 Shares offered  hereby (1,380,000 shares  if the Representative's
over-allotment option is  exercised in  full) will be  freely tradeable  without
further  registration under the Securities Act. The holders of substantially all
the Common  Stock  outstanding, including  all  officers and  directors  of  the
Company,  and the  option holders  under the  Plan and  the warrant  holder have
agreed not to (i) publicly sell, or otherwise dispose of, any securities of  the
Company, except for limited transfers to qualifying charitable institutions, for
a   period  of  18   months  from  the   date  of  this   offering  without  the
Representative's prior  written consent  and (ii)  privately sell  or  otherwise
dispose  of any securities of the Company during such period unless the proposed
transferee agrees to be bound by such restrictions or transfer. Pursuant to such
agreements,  in  the  event  that  the  Representative  consents  to  any   such
disposition  of securities, the Representative must  give to each other officer,
director, and shareholder of the Company who  is a party to such agreements  the
right  to transfer an equivalent proportion  of their securities subject to such
agreements.
 
    All of  the 2,084,699  shares  of Common  Stock  outstanding prior  to  this
offering  are  "restricted securities"  within the  meaning of  Rule 144  of the
Securities Act and, if held for at  least two years, would be eligible for  sale
in the public market in reliance upon, and in accordance with, the provisions of
Rule  144 following  the expiration of  such two-year period.  In general, under
Rule 144  as  currently  in  effect,  a  person  or  persons  whose  shares  are
aggregated,  including a person  who may be  deemed to be  an "affiliate" of the
Company as that term is defined under the Securities Act ("Affiliate"), would be
entitled to sell within any three-month  period a number of shares  beneficially
owned  for at least two years that does not  exceed the greater of (i) 1% of the
then outstanding shares  of Common  Stock, or  (ii) the  average weekly  trading
volume  in the Common Stock during the  four calendar weeks preceding such sale.
Sales under Rule 144 are also subject  to certain requirements as to the  manner
of  sale, notice, and  the availability of current  public information about the
Company. However, a person who  is not deemed to have  been an affiliate of  the
Company  during  the  90  days preceding  a  sale  by such  person  and  who has
beneficially owned shares of Common Stock for at least three years may sell such
shares without regard to the volume,  manner of sale, or notice requirements  of
Rule  144. The Commission has  recently proposed an amendment  to Rule 144 which
would reduce  the  holding period  for  shares subject  to  Rule 144  to  become
eligible for sale in the public market.
 
    Rule  701 under the Securities Act provides  that the shares of Common Stock
acquired on the exercise of options granted under a written compensatory plan of
the Company or contract with  the Company prior to  the date of this  Prospectus
may  be resold by  persons, other than  Affiliates, beginning 90  days after the
date of this Prospectus, subject only to  the manner of sale provisions of  Rule
144,  and  by Affiliates  under Rule  144 without  compliance with  its two-year
minimum holding period, subject to certain limitations. There are 145,580 shares
of Common Stock outstanding from prior exercises of options under the  Company's
stock plans and 710,840 shares of Common Stock are issuable upon the exercise of
outstanding   options  under  the  Plan  (collectively,  the  "Option  Shares").
Beginning 90 days after the  date of this Prospectus,  all of the Option  Shares
would  be eligible for sale in reliance  on Rule 701, subject to certain vesting
provisions.
 
    Prior to this offering,  there has been no  public market for the  Company's
securities.  Following this offering, the Company  cannot predict the effect, if
any, that sales of shares of Common Stock pursuant to Rule 144 or otherwise,  or
the  availability  of  such shares  for  sale,  will have  on  the  market price
prevailing from time to time. Nevertheless, sales by the current shareholders of
a substantial  number of  shares of  Common  Stock in  the public  market  could
materially  adversely affect prevailing  market prices for  the Common Stock. In
addition, the availability for sale of a substantial number of shares of  Common
Stock  acquired through  the exercise  of the  Representative's Warrants  or the
currently outstanding options under  the Plan or  the outstanding warrant  could
materially  adversely affect prevailing market prices  for the Common Stock. See
"Risk Factors--Shares Eligible For Future Sale."
 
                                       40

    Up to 120,000  additional shares  of Common Stock  may be  purchased by  the
Representative during the period commencing on the first anniversary of the date
of  this Prospectus and terminating on the fifth anniversary of the date of this
Prospectus through the exercise  of the Representative's  Warrants. Any and  all
shares  of  Common Stock  purchased upon  the  exercise of  the Representative's
Warrants may be freely  tradeable, provided that  the Company satisfies  certain
securities  registration and  qualification requirements in  accordance with the
terms of the Representative's Warrants. See "Underwriting."
 
    After the offering, the holders of 717,863 shares of Common Stock, or  their
transferees, will be entitled to certain rights with respect to the registration
of    such   shares   under   the    Securities   Act.   See   "Description   of
Securities--Registration  Rights."  Registration  of   such  shares  under   the
Securities  Act would  result in such  shares becoming  freely tradeable without
restriction under the Securities Act (except for shares purchased by Affiliates)
immediately upon the effectiveness of such registration.

    A  copy of the  Underwriting Agreement has  been filed as  an exhibit to the
Registration Statement,  to which  reference is  hereby made.  The  Underwriting
Agreement  provides  that the  obligations of  the  Underwriters are  subject to
certain conditions. The Underwriters shall be  obligated to purchase all of  the
shares of Common Stock offered hereby if any are purchased.
 
    Through  the Representative, the Underwriters  have advised the Company that
they propose to offer the shares of Common Stock offered hereby to the public at
the public offering price  set forth on  the cover page  of this Prospectus  and
that  they  may  allow  to  certain dealers  who  are  members  of  the National
Association of Securities  Dealers, Inc.  (the "NASD"), and  to certain  foreign
dealers,  concessions not in excess of $       per  share, of which amount a sum
not in excess of $       per share may in  turn be reallowed by such dealers  to
other  dealers who are members of the NASD and to certain foreign dealers. After
the commencement of this offering, the  concessions and the reallowances may  be
changed by the Representative.
 
    The  Company  has  agreed  to  indemnify  the  Underwriters  against certain
liabilities, including liabilities under the  Securities Act, and to  contribute
to payments the Underwriters may be required to make in respect thereof.
 
    The  Company has  agreed to pay  to the Representative  an aggregate expense
allowance, on a non-accountable basis, equal to 3% of the gross proceeds derived
from the sale of 1,200,000 shares  of Common Stock offered hereby (or  1,380,000
shares of Common Stock if Representative's over-allotment option is exercised in
full).  The Company paid an advance on such allowances in the amount of $50,000.
The Company has also agreed to  pay certain of the Representative's expenses  in
connection  with this offering, including expenses in connection with qualifying
the shares  of Common  Stock for  sale  under the  laws of  such states  as  the
Representative  may  designate.  In  addition,  the  Company  will  sell  to the
Representative, at an  aggregate purchase  price of  $120, the  Representative's
Warrants  to  purchase up  to an  aggregate  of 120,000  shares of  Common Stock
exercisable at a price per  share equal to 110%  of the initial public  offering
price per Share.
 
    The officers, directors and certain current shareholders of the Company have
agreed  not to  publicly sell  or otherwise  dispose of  their shares  of Common
Stock,  securities  of   the  Company  convertible   into,  or  exercisable   or
exchangeable  for, shares  of Common Stock,  or shares of  Common Stock received
upon conversion, exercise, or exchange of such securities, to the public without
the prior consent of the Representative for a period of 18 months from the  date
of this Prospectus.
 
    Prior  to this  offering, there  has been  no public  market for  the Common
Stock. The initial public offering price of the shares of Common Stock has  been
determined  by negotiation between the Company and the Representative. Among the
factors considered in such negotiations were (i) an
 
                                       42

assessment of  the  Company's  future  prospects, (ii)  the  experience  of  the
Company's  management, (iii) the current financial position of the Company, (iv)
the prevailing conditions in the securities markets, including the market  value
of  the publicly traded common stock of companies in similar industries, (v) the
market conditions  for new  offerings  of securities  and  (vi) the  demand  for
similar securities of comparable companies.
 
OVER-ALLOTMENT OPTION
 
    The  Company has granted to the Representative an option, exercisable in the
sole discretion of  the Representative  within 45 days  after the  date of  this
Prospectus,  to purchase up  to an aggregate  of 180,000 shares  of Common Stock
solely to cover  over-allotments, if any.  Such options are  exercisable at  the
public  offering price  per share  less underwriting  discounts and commissions.
After the commencement of this offering, the Representative may confirm sales of
shares of  Common Stock  subject  to this  over-allotment option.  Purchases  of
shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the over-allotment option will result in
the realization of additional compensation by the Representative.
 
REPRESENTATIVE'S WARRANTS
 
    In  connection with  this offering,  the Company has  agreed to  sell to the
Representative, individually  and  not  as the  Representative  of  the  several
underwriters,  for  an aggregate  purchase price  of $120,  the Representative's
Warrants to purchase up to 120,000 shares of Common Stock. The  Representative's
Warrants are exercisable for a period of four years commencing one year from the
date  hereof at an exercise price per share (the "Exercise Price") equal to 110%
of the initial public  offering price per  share. The Representative's  Warrants
may not be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, or hypothecated for a period of
12  months from  the date of  the Prospectus,  except to members  of the selling
group and officers and partners of the Representative and members of the selling
group. The Representative's Warrants contain anti-dilution provisions  providing
for  adjustment of the Exercise  Price and the number  of shares of Common Stock
issuable upon  the  exercise thereof  upon  the occurrence  of  certain  events,
including  stock dividends, stock splits,  recapitalizations and sales of Common
Stock below the then current market  price (as defined therein). The holders  of
the  Representative's  Warrants  have no  voting,  dividend or  other  rights as
shareholders of the Company  with respect to shares  of Common Stock  underlying
the  Representative's Warrants,  unless the Representative's  Warrants have been
exercised.
 
    The Company has agreed, on one occasion during the period beginning one year
after the date  hereof and  ending four years  thereafter, if  requested by  the
holders  of a  majority of the  Representative's Warrants or  Warrant Shares, to
make all necessary filings to permit a public offering of the Warrant Shares and
to use its  best efforts  to cause  such filing  to become  effective under  the
Securities  Act  and  to remain  effective  for  at least  nine  months,  at the
Company's sole expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall have no
obligation to prepare and file such new registration statement or post-effective
amendment to the registration statement if, within 20 days after it receives the
request therefor, the Company or insiders  who own individually in excess of  5%
of  the Common Stock agree to  purchase the Representative's Warrants and/or the
underlying securities from such  requesting holders at a  price, in the case  of
the  Representative's  Warrants, equal  to the  difference between  the exercise
price of the Representative's Warrants and the current market price (as  defined
therein)  of the Warrant  Shares. In addition,  the Company has  agreed, for the
period starting at the beginning of the second year and concluding at the end of
the fifth year after the effective  date of the Registration Statement of  which
this   Prospectus  is  a  part,  to  give  advance  notice  to  holders  of  the
Representative's Warrants  and  Warrant  Shares  of  its  intention  to  file  a
registration  statement,  and  in  such case,  holders  of  the Representative's
Warrants and the Warrant Shares shall have  the right to require the Company  to
include  the  Warrant Shares  in such  registration  statement at  the Company's
expense.
 
    During the period  that the Representative's  Warrants are exercisable,  the
Representative  and any  transferee will have  the opportunity to  profit from a
rise in the market price  of the Common Stock with  a resulting dilution in  the
interest   of  other  shareholders.   In  addition,  the   terms  on  which  the
 
                                       43

Company will be able to obtain additional capital during the exercise period may
be adversely  affected  since  the  Representative is  likely  to  exercise  the
Representative's  Warrants at a time when  the Company would, in all likelihood,
be able  to  obtain capital  by  a new  offering  of securities  on  terms  more
favorable than those provided by the terms of the Representative's Warrants.
 
                                 LEGAL MATTERS
 
    The  validity of the Common Stock offered hereby will be passed upon for the
Company by Ireland, Stapleton, Pryor  & Pascoe, P.C., Denver, Colorado.  Certain
legal  matters will be passed upon  for the Underwriters by Brock, Fensterstock,
Silverstein, McAuliffe & Wade, LLC, New York, New York.
 
                                    EXPERTS
 
    The financial statements as of December 31,  1994 and 1995, and for each  of
the two years in the period ended December 31, 1995, included in this Prospectus
have  been  so included  in  reliance on  the  report of  Price  Waterhouse LLP,
independent accountants,  given on  the authority  of said  firm as  experts  in
auditing and accounting.
 
    The  statements with respect to the SLU Patent, and the statements regarding
infringement with  respect thereto,  included in  this Prospectus  have been  so
included  in  reliance on  Nikaido,  Marmelstein, Murray  &  Oram, given  on the
authority of said firm as experts in patent law.
 
                       CHANGE IN INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
 
    On November 17, 1994, the Company  dismissed its then current auditors  and,
on November 28, 1994, the Company retained Price Waterhouse LLP as the Company's
independent  accountants. Such actions  were approved by  the Company's Board of
Directors. The former auditors' report on the Company's financial statements for
the two years ended December 31,  1993, does not cover the financial  statements
of  the Company included in this Prospectus. The former auditors' report was not
modified as  to  audit  scope  or accounting  principles,  but  did  contain  an
explanatory  paragraph relating to the Company's  ability to continue as a going
concern. There were no disagreements with  the former auditors on any matter  of
accounting  principles or practices, financial  statement disclosure or auditing
scope or procedure at the  time of the change or  with respect to the  Company's
financial  statements for either of  the two years in  the period ended December
31, 1993, which,  if not resolved  to the former  auditors' satisfaction,  would
have  caused them to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in
connection with  their report.  Prior  to retaining  Price Waterhouse  LLP,  the
Company  had  no consultations  with Price  Waterhouse  LLP regarding  the audit
reports of the former auditors or application of accounting principles.

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
 
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
 of Image Guided Technologies, Inc.
 
    In our opinion, the accompanying balance sheet and the related statements of
operations,  of  changes in  shareholders' equity  (deficit)  and of  cash flows
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Image Guided
Technologies, Inc.  (the "Company")  at  December 31,  1995  and 1994,  and  the
results  of its operations and its  cash flows for each of  the two years in the
period ended December 31, 1995 in conformity with generally accepted  accounting
principles.  These financial statements are  the responsibility of the Company's
management; our  responsibility is  to  express an  opinion on  these  financial
statements  based on our audits. We conducted  our audits of these statements in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards which require that we plan
and perform  the  audits  to  obtain  reasonable  assurance  about  whether  the
financial  statements  are  free  of material  misstatement.  An  audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence  supporting the amounts and disclosures  in
the   financial  statements,  assessing  the   accounting  principles  used  and
significant estimates made by management,  and evaluating the overall  financial
statement  presentation. We believe  that our audits  provide a reasonable basis
for the opinion expressed above.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
1.  ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
 
    Image  Guided Technologies, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated in 1990 in
the State of Colorado  to design, develop,  manufacture and market  proprietary,
hand-held  electro-optical 3-dimensional position input  devices for medical and
industrial applications.  In  March 1995,  the  Company changed  its  name  from
Pixsys, Inc. to Image Guided Technologies, Inc.
 
REVENUE RECOGNITION AND WARRANTY
 
    Revenue  is recognized upon shipment. The Company offers a one-year warranty
on products sold. The costs of product warranties are accrued at the time  sales
are  recorded based upon estimates of costs  to be incurred to repair or replace
items under warranty.
 
INVENTORIES
 
    Inventories are carried at the lower  of cost or market. Cost is  determined
using the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") method.
 
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
 
    Property  and equipment is stated at cost and depreciated on a straight-line
basis over their estimated useful lives of two to five years.
 
CASH EQUIVALENTS
 
    The Company  considers  all  highly liquid  investments  purchased  with  an
original  maturity  of  three  months  or  less  to  be  cash  equivalents. Cash
equivalents are carried at cost which approximates fair value.
 
USE OF ESTIMATES
 
    The  preparation  of  financial  statements  in  conformity  with  generally
accepted  accounting  principles  requires  management  to  make  estimates  and
assumptions that affect the reported  amounts of certain assets and  liabilities
and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements  and the related reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
INTERIM FINANCIAL DATA
 
    The interim financial data as of June 30, 1996 and for the six months  ended
June  30,  1995 and  June  30, 1996  is unaudited;  however,  in the  opinion of
management of the Company, the interim data includes all adjustments, consisting
only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary  for a fair presentation of  the
results  for the interim periods presented. All data presented in these notes at
such date and for such periods is unaudited.
 
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
 
    The Board  of Directors  authorized  management of  the  Company to  file  a
registration  statement  with  the Securities  and  Exchange  Commission ("SEC")
permitting the Company to sell shares of its common stock to the public. If  the
Company's  initial  public offering  is  consummated under  the  terms presently
anticipated,  all   of  the   convertible  preferred   stock  outstanding   will
automatically  convert into 380,363 shares of  common stock. Unaudited pro forma
shareholders' equity  as of  June 30,  1996, as  set forth  on the  accompanying
balance sheet, is adjusted for the anticipated conversion of preferred stock.
 
                                      F-7

                        IMAGE GUIDED TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
 
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA NET INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE
 
    The  Company's  historical  capital  structure  is  not  indicative  of  its
prospective structure due to the  automatic conversion of convertible  preferred
stock into common stock concurrent with the closing of the Company's anticipated
initial  public offering. Accordingly,  historical net income  (loss) per common
share is not considered meaningful and has not been presented herein.
 
    Pro forma  net income  (loss) per  common  share is  computed based  on  the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding and gives effect to certain
adjustments  described below. Common  equivalent shares are  not included in the
per share calculation where the effect of their inclusion would be antidilutive,
except that, in conformity with  SEC requirements, common and common  equivalent
shares  issued  during  the  twelve-month  period prior  to  the  filing  of the
Company's proposed initial public offering have been included in the calculation
as if they were outstanding for all periods, using the treasury stock method and
the assumed initial  public offering price  of $5 per  share. Additionally,  all
outstanding  shares  of convertible  preferred stock  are  assumed to  have been
converted to common stock at the time of their issuance.
 
UNAUDITED SUPPLEMENTAL PRO FORMA NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE
 
    Supplemental pro forma net income (loss) per share is based on the  weighted
average  number of shares of  common stock and common  stock equivalents used in
the calculation of  pro forma net  income (loss)  per share plus  the number  of
shares  that would  be required to  be sold, on  a net proceeds  basis, to repay
borrowings outstanding on the Company's notes payable ($775,000 in the aggregate
at June  30, 1996)  as contemplated  in connection  with the  Company's  initial
public offering. For purposes of this calculation, net income has been increased
by  $43,098 for the six-month  period ended June 30, 1996  and net loss has been
reduced by $43,192 for the year ended December 31, 1995, to reflect  elimination
of interest expense on such notes payable.
 
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
    The carrying amounts of the Company's financial instruments, including cash,
short-term  trade receivables and payables and long-term debt, approximate their
fair values.
 
CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
 
    The majority of the  Company's revenues during 1994  and 1995 resulted  from
sales  of a single product which is used to determine the location of a surgical
instrument in a three dimensional space. Customers accounting for 10% or more of
total revenues during 1994 and 1995 are as follows:
 


                                                                                             1994       1995
                                                                                           ---------  ---------

Customer E...............................................................................                   13%
Customer F...............................................................................                   38%

 
    At December  31, 1994,  17%, 0%  and 29%  of accounts  receivable were  with
customers  A, B, and C,  respectively. At December 31, 1995,  25%, 6% and 60% of

                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
 
5.  NOTES PAYABLE
 
    The notes payable at December 31, 1995 and June 30, 1996 (unaudited) consist
of the following:
 

                                                                        
Notes payable to shareholders or shareholders' wholly-owned subsidiaries;
 interest at 11% per year; principal and interest payable on demand......  $ 210,000
Note payable to related party; interest at 11% per year; principal and
 interest payable on demand..............................................     50,000
Notes payable to shareholders or shareholders' wholly-owned subsidiaries;
 interest at 11% per year; matures 1996 (as extended)....................    465,000
Note payable to related party; interest at 11% per year; matures 1996 (as
 extended)...............................................................     50,000
                                                                           ---------
                                                                           $ 775,000
                                                                           ---------
                                                                           ---------

 
    The Company issued 387,500 warrants to purchase common stock at an  exercise
price  of $1.00  per share pursuant  to each  of the notes  payable above. These
warrants are  fully  vested  and  outstanding  at  December  31,  1995  and  are
exercisable  through 2000. The warrants were  valued in good faith by management
at $131,692 and a corresponding amount  was recorded as debt discount which  was
fully  amortized, over the original  term of the notes  payable, during 1995. Of
these warrants, 337,500 warrants were exercised in May and June of 1996.
 
    The notes payable are secured by the Company's current and future inventory,
accounts receivable,  intangible assets,  and  intellectual property.  The  fair
market  value of the notes payable approximates their carrying value at December
31, 1995.  Subsequent to  December  31, 1995,  the Company  negotiated  extended
payment terms on the above notes payable. See Note 9.
 
6.  INCOME TAXES
 
    At  December 31, 1994,  the Company had net  operating loss carryforwards of
approximately $1,967,000. At December  31, 1995, the  Company has net  operating
loss  carryforwards  of approximately  $2,788,000  which expire  from 2006-2010.
During 1994, certain changes in the Company's ownership occurred which limit the
future utilization of these net  operating loss carryforwards. Future  ownership
changes  may  further  limit the  ability  of  the Company  to  realize  its net
operating loss carryforwards.
 
    At December 31, 1994 and 1995, the Company had gross deferred tax assets  of
approximately $792,000 and $1,180,000, respectively, consisting primarily of the
tax  effect of net  operating loss carryforwards. The  gross deferred tax assets
have  been  reduced  by  a  valuation  allowance  of  $792,000  and  $1,180,000,
respectively,  because  based on  the weight  of available  evidence, management
believes it is more likely than not that such benefits will not be realized. The
valuation allowance increased by approximately $383,000 and $388,000 during 1994
and 1995, respectively, primarily  because no benefit  was recorded for  current
year losses.
 
    The  difference  between  the  expected  statutory  benefit,  determined  by
applying the federal income tax rate of  34% to loss before income tax, and  the
Company's  tax benefit was primarily the additional valuation allowance recorded
against net operating loss benefits generated during 1994 and 1995. No provision
for income taxes has been recorded during 1996, as the Company has been able  to
utilize net operating loss carryforwards.

7.  SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
 
STOCK SPLIT
 
    During  1994,  the  Company  effected  a  four-for-one  stock  split  of the
Company's common stock. All common stock  and stock option amounts presented  in
these financial statements reflect this stock split.
 
CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK
 
    Holders  of  Series A  Convertible Preferred  Stock  ("Series A  stock") are
entitled to receive dividends equal to those paid on the number of common shares
into which  the preferred  shares  are convertible.  Each share  of  outstanding
Series  A stock is entitled to  as many votes as the  number of shares of common
stock into which it is convertible. The  holders of Series A shares may, at  any
time,  convert their preferred shares into common shares on a one-for-one basis,
subject to adjustments for stock splits and certain antidilution provisions.  As
of  December  31,  1995,  such  Series A  shares  outstanding  would  convert to
approximately 380,363 shares of common  stock. All Series A stock  automatically
converts  into common stock at the closing of an underwritten public offering of
common stock of  the Company with  aggregate offering proceeds  of no less  than
$5,000,000  or when  at least  75% of  all outstanding  Series A  stock has been
converted.
 
    In the event of  a liquidation of  the Company, holders  of Series A  shares
will  be  entitled  to  a  liquidation preference  of  $3.00  per  share, before
adjustment for any future stock splits.

ITEM 24.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
 
    Sections  7-109-102 and 7-109-107  of the Colorado  Business Corporation Act
(the  "CBCA")  permit   indemnification  of   directors,  officers,   employees,
fiduciaries  and agents of corporations under  certain conditions and subject to
certain limitations. The  Registrant's Bylaws include  provisions which  require
the  Registrant to  indemnify its directors  and officers to  the fullest extent
permitted by  the  CBCA, including  circumstances  in which  indemnification  is
otherwise  discretionary.  The  Registrant's Bylaws  include  a  provision which
permits, but does  not require, the  Registrant to indemnify  its employees  and
agents   under  certain  prescribed   circumstances  within  certain  prescribed
limitations. In  addition, the  Registrant  maintains directors'  and  officers'
liability coverage to insure its indemnification of its directors and officers.
 
    Section 8 of the Underwriting Agreement filed as Exhibit 1.1 hereto provides
for  the indemnification by the Underwriters of the Registrant and its directors
and officers, and by the Registrant of the Underwriters, for certain liabilities
arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"),  or
otherwise.

ITEM 26.  RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES.
 
    During  the  past  three  years,  the  Registrant  has  issued  unregistered
securities  in  the  transactions  described below.  Securities  issued  in such
transactions  were  offered  and  sold  in  reliance  upon  the  exemption  from
registration  under Section 4(2) of the Securities  Act, relating to sales by an
issuer not involving any public  offering, Regulation D promulgated pursuant  to
the  Securities Act  and/or Rule 701  promulgated under the  Securities Act. The
sales of  securities  were  made without  the  use  of an  underwriter  and  the
certificates  evidencing  the shares  bear a  restrictive legend  permitting the
transfer thereof only upon registration of the shares or an exemption under  the
Securities Act.
 
    (1) On July 1, 1993 and April 5, 1994, the Registrant issued an aggregate of

(187,616 after the Registrant's  December, 1994 four for  one stock split) to  a

director's payment of a  note payable by  the Registrant to  Vectra Bank in  the

ITEM 28.  UNDERTAKINGS.
 
    The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the  Underwriters
at  the closing  specified in  the Underwriting  Agreement certificates  in such
denominations and registered in  such names as required  by the Underwriters  to
permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.
 
    Insofar  as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933 may be permitted to  directors, officers and controlling persons of  the
Registrant  pursuant to the  foregoing provisions, or  otherwise, the Registrant
has been advised that in the  opinion of the Securities and Exchange  Commission
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act
and  is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the  payment by the Registrant of  expenses
incurred  or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant
in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities  being
registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has  been settled  by controlling  precedent, submit  to a  court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such  indemnification by it is against  public
policy  as expressed  in the Securities  Act and  will be governed  by the final
adjudication of such issue.
 
    The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that:
 
    (1) For purposes of  determining any liability under  the Securities Act  of
1933,  the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this
Registration Statement in  reliance upon Rule  430A and contained  in a form  of
prospectus  filed by the Registrant pursuant to  Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h)
under the  Securities  Act shall  be  deemed to  be  part of  this  Registration
Statement as of the time it was declared effective.
 
    (2)  For the purpose of determining  any liability under the Securities Act,
each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed
to be a new Registration Statement  relating to the securities offered  therein,
and  the offering  of such  securities at that  time shall  be deemed  to be the
initial bona fide offering thereof.
 
    (3) It will:
 
        (a) File, during any  period in which it  offers or sells securities,  a
    post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement to:
 
           (i)  Include  any  prospectus  required by  section  10(a)(3)  of the
       Securities Act;
 
           (ii)  Reflect  in   the  prospectus  any   facts  or  events   which,
       individually   or  together,  represent  a   fundamental  change  in  the
       information  in  the  Registration  Statement;  and  notwithstanding  the
       foregoing,  any increase or decrease in  volume of securities offered (if
       the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that  which
       was  registered)  and any  deviation  from the  low  or high  end  of the
       estimated maximum  offering  range  may  be  reflected  in  the  form  of
       prospectus  filed with the Commission pursuant  to Rule 424(b) if, in the
       aggregate, the changes in the volume  and price represent no more than  a
       20%  change  in the  maximum aggregate  offering price  set forth  in the
       "Calculation of  Registration Fee"  table in  the effective  Registration
       Statement.
 
           (iii)  Include any additional or  changed material information on the
       plan of distribution.
 
        (b) For  determining  liability under  the  Securities Act,  treat  each
    post-effective  amendment as a new  Registration Statement of the securities
    offered, and the offering of the securities  at that time to be the  initial
    bona fide offering.
 
        (c)  File a post-effective amendment to  remove from registration any of
    the securities that remain unsold at the end of the offering.
 
                                      II-4
