In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated
financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring
adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of results of operations for the
interim periods. The results of operations for the nine months ended December
31, 1998, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the
full year ending March 31, 1999.
The consolidated financial statements of the Company, at December 31, 1998,
include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All
significant intercompany balances have been eliminated.

3. Restatement
The Company's previously reported results of operations for the three and
nine month periods ended December 31, 1998 have been restated to reflect certain
prior period adjustments. The Company's previously reported results of
operations for the three months ended June 30, 1998, and for the three and six
months ended September 30, 1998 have also been restated to reflect certain prior
period adjustments. The effects of these adjustments to correct the accounting
for revenue recognition, and reserves and allowances for sales returns and bad
debts in the three and nine month periods ended December 31, 1998 are set forth
in the following table.

======= =======
Beginning in the second quarter ended September 30, 1998 and accelerating
in the third quarter ended December 31, 1998, product returns and unpaid
accounts receivable increased significantly. The reasons for significant
increases in bad debts and product returns are believed to be: (a) a change in
sensor and computer
4
<PAGE>
hardware technology announced early in the first quarter of fiscal 1999; (b)
initial problems in servicing installations orders for new CDR(R) systems; and
(c) unsuccessful follow-up on accounts receivable. Resultant accounts receivable
charge-offs and provisions for returns exceeded the respective accounting
reserves and allowances for bad debts and product returns. Management has
reanalyzed the basis for its previous estimates and determined that insufficient
provisions had been made in the first and second quarters of fiscal 1999 and
that additional provisions for bad debts and product returns are needed in the
period ended December 31, 1998.
Adjustments to revenues in the third quarter of fiscal 1999 include an
increase of $700 related to the revenues shifted from the second quarter.
Revenues in the amount of $353 were recognized during the third quarter for
consignment sales to distributors. These revenues were recognized upon payment
by the respective distributor. These increases in revenues were offset by $90 of
revenues related to product shipments subject to trial periods, which were
shifted to the fourth quarter of 1999. Revenues in the amount of $357, related
to shipments of products subject to trial periods where the customer never
confirmed acceptance of the product and subsequently returned the products were
reversed. Revenues of $2,149 were reduced in the third quarter of 1999 resulting
from the accrual of returns from the fourth quarter of 1999.
The Company has analyzed these economic factors and current and prior rates
of returns and bad debts and has revised its current and projected estimates for
product returns and bad debts accordingly.
In response to the aforementioned market events, Management also reviewed
the adequacy of the Company's reserve for inventory obsolescence, and inventory
reserves have been increased by $ 1.8 million during the three months ended
December 31, 1998.
The previously reported results of operations for the three and nine months
ended December 31, 1998, as reported on Forms 10-Q with the Securities and
Exchange Commission, have been amended to reflect the above prior period
adjustments. The results of such prior period adjustments, as compared with the
Company's previously reported results for three and nine-month periods ended
December 31, 1998, are set forth below.

4. Initial Public Offering
In July 1997, the Company completed its initial public offering (the
"IPO"), selling 2,012,500 shares of common stock at a price of $18.50 per share
providing gross proceeds to the Company of $37,231 and net proceeds, after
underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses payable by the
Company, of $33,508.
5. Patent Litigation Settlement
In July 1997, in connection with the settlement of certain pending patent
litigation involving a United States patent directed to a display for digital
dental radiographs, the Company was granted a worldwide, non-exclusive fully
paid license covering such patent in consideration for a payment by the Company
of $600. The Company expensed the license fee in the quarter ended June 30,
1997.

6. Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Effective December 31, 1997, the Company adopted statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share" ("FAS 128") which requires
presentation of basic earnings per share ("Basic EPS") and diluted earnings per
share ("Diluted EPS"). Basic EPS is computed by dividing income available to
common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding
during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common
shares outstanding during the period. The computation of Diluted EPS does not
assume conversion, exercise or contingent exercise of securities that would have
an antidilutive effect on earnings. Earnings per share for the three and six
month periods ended September 30,1997 have been restated for the adoption of FAS
128. The adoption of FAS 128 did not have a significant impact on the loss per
share for the periods ended September 30, 1997.
The computation of basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share
for the three- and nine-month periods ended December 31, 1998 and 1997 are as
follows:

7. Subsequent Events
Investment in Photobit Corporation
In September 1997, the Company purchased a minority interest of 5%, for
$1,000, in Photobit Corporation, a developer of complementary metal-oxide
semiconductor ("CMOS"), APS imaging technology. On July 14, 1998, the Company
invested an additional $250 in Photobit Corporation, bringing its total
investment in Photobit to $1,250. The Company is the exclusive licensee of the
APS technology for medical applications and utilizes the technology in its
bone-mineral density assessment device and certain components of its computed
dental x-ray imaging system. The Company carries the investment at cost. In
September 1999, the Company sold 250,000 shares of Photobit stock for $1,000 and
recorded an investment gain of approximately $565.
Bridge Note Payable
Effective July 30, 1999, the Company secured an extension to the secured
promissory note it initially issued in March 1999 for $5,000. Pursuant to the
amended and restated note, the principal of the note was increased to $6,222.
The increase in the principal amount resulted from the conversion of certain
trade payables owed to the third party lender into the principal balance of the
note. The amended and restated note bears interest at the rate of prime plus two
and one-half percent per annum. Interest on the note is payable monthly and the
note is secured by the Company's tangible and intangible assets. The principal
is payable in quarterly installments of $1,000 commencing December 31, 1999. The
Company is also required to make additional principal payments equal to 25% of
the net proceeds of any equity or debt financing or asset sale (other than sales
of inventory in the ordinary course of business) to the extent that 25% of such
proceeds exceeds the $1,000 principal installment due at the end of the quarter
in which the financing or asset sale is completed. In connection with the
amended and restated note, the Company issued 650,000 warrants to the
note-holder. The warrants are exercisable for a period of 5 years and each have
an exercise price of $2.19. The Company is not in compliance with certain
financial covenants, and other terms and provisions contained in the extended
bridge loan and is currently in the process of refinancing the obligation.

NASDAQ Delisting
On September 15, 1999, the Company received notice from the Nasdaq Listings
Qualifications Panel that its common stock would no longer be listed on the
Nasdaq National Market effective with the close of business on September 15,
1999. The panel's action was based on the Company's inability to timely file its
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1999 and public
interest concerns regarding the Company's revenue recognition and sales
practices.
Greystone Funding Corporation
In December 1999, the Company entered into a Loan Agreement (as amended,
the "Loan Agreement") with Greystone Funding Corporation ("Greystone") to
provide up to $7.5 million of subordinated debt in the form of a secured credit
facility. Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, and to induce Greystone to enter into
said Agreement, the Company issued to Greystone and its designees, warrants to
purchase 3,000,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock at an exercise price of
$0.75 per share. The Company agreed to issue to Greystone or its designees
warrants to purchase an additional 2,000,000 shares at an exercise price of
$0.75 per share in connection with a cash payment of $1 million by Greystone to
the Company in consideration of a sale of Photobit stock by the Company to
Greystone. The sale of the Photobit stock was made subject to a right of first
refusal held by Photobit and its founders. By letter dated February 17, 2000,
counsel for Photobit informed the Company that Photobit considers the Company's
sale of its shares to Greystone to be void on the basis of the Company's
purported failure to properly comply with Photobit's right of first refusal.
On March 17, 2000, the Company and Greystone entered into an Amended and
Restated Loan Agreement effective as of December 27, 1999 (the "Amended Loan
Agreement") pursuant to which Greystone agreed to provide up to $7.5 million of
subordinated debt in the form of a secured credit facility. The $1 million cash
payment to the Company was converted as of December 27, 1999 into an initial
advance of $1,000,000 under the Amended Loan Agreement. Pursuant to the Amended
Loan Agreement, and to induce Greystone to enter into said Agreement, the
Company issued warrants to Greystone and its designees, inclusive of those
warrants previously issued under the Loan Agreement, to purchase 5,000,000
shares of the Company's Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.75 per share,
exercisable at any time after December 27, 1999. Under the Amended Loan
Agreement, the Company also issued to Greystone or its designees warrants (the
"Additional Warrants") to purchase an additional 13,000,000 shares of common
stock, which Additional Warrants will vest and be exercisable at a rate of two
shares of Common Stock for each dollar advanced under the Amended Loan Agreement
in excess of the initial draw of $1,000,000. Any Additional Warrants which do
not vest prior to expiration or surrender of the line of credit will be
forfeited and canceled. In connection with the Greystone secured credit
facility, effective as of February 15, 2000, DVI Financial Services, Inc., the
Company's senior lender, consented to the Company's grant to Greystone of a
second priority lien encumbering the Company's assets, under and subject in
priority and right of payment to all liens granted by the Company to DVI.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within

Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The words or
phrases "believes," "may," "will likely result," "estimates," "projects,"
"anticipates," "expects" or similar expressions and variations thereof are

intra-oral digital radiography system. The Company has also developed a bone
mineral density assessment device, which was introduced in December of 1997, to
assist in the diagnosis of osteoporosis. The Company is also developing a
radiographic imaging device for digital mammography and has commenced
development of a general digital radiography device for intended use in various
applications.
Results of Operations
Net revenue for the three months ended December 31, 1998 increased $3.6
million (30%) to $15.5 million from $11.9 million during the comparable period
of fiscal 1998. Net revenue for the nine months ended December 31, 1998,
increased $12.1 million (46%) to $38.3 million from $26.2 million during the
comparable period of fiscal 1998. The revenue growth is due to increased sales
of the Company's CDR(R) dental product and accuDEXA(R) bone density assessment
device. The accuDEXA was introduced during the third quarter of fiscal 1998, and
did not contribute significantly to revenues until the first and second quarters
of fiscal 1999.
Fiscal 1999 revenues were negatively affected by a rate of return for the
Company's products shipped within the third fiscal quarter which was higher than
the historical return rate for the Company's products, as well as returns for
products shipped during the first and second quarters of fiscal 1999, which were
returned in the second and third quarters. In addition, revenues were negatively
affected by an increase in reserves for goods which may be returned in the
future.
The following table depicts the effect of returns upon the Company's net
revenues in the third fiscal quarter of 1999.

Sales Returns and Allowances: .................................... $ (8.8)
-------
Net Revenue: ..................................................... $ 15.5
=======
Provisions for returns are comprised of actual returns and estimates for
future returns.
On a net of returns basis, in the third quarter of fiscal 1999, accuDEXA
represented approximately $2.5 million (16%) of the Company's sales and CDR
represented approximately $13.0 million (84%) of the Company's sales.
The rate of returns in fiscal 1999 increased significantly over 1998. The
increased return rate for CDR is believed to be attributable to several factors,
including the following:
Firstly, the Company experienced technical problems in transitioning its
CDR product line from CCD sensors to APS sensors. Shipments of the Company's
initial version of its new APS sensor for the CDR product, which were primarily
delivered from April 1998 through August 1998, exhibited a high failure rate and
other technical problems. The Company has provided for replacements of systems
shipped during this period where practical and provided for anticipated returns
for units which were not upgradeable. In September 1998, the Company began
shipping a new version of the APS sensor which has exhibited a lower failure
rate than the initial version. Management anticipates that the aforementioned
problem has been resolved and all returns associated therewith have been
provided for.
Second, the Company's single user CDR System requires minimal installation.
Commencing in September 1998, the Company initiated a program in coordination
with its computer supplier, in which the supplier installed all single-user CDR
Systems. As a result of logistical problems in implementing this program, the
supplier's installations experienced significant delays, which led to a higher
than normal rate of return for single user systems shipped in this period.
Starting in January 1999, the Company resumed its original method of CDR
installation.
The Company also experienced a higher than normal rate of returns of
accuDEXA units. The Company believes that these returns are due to several
factors, including the following:
First, shipments of accuDEXA experienced a higher than normal failure rate
due to shipping damage, as well as humidity and temperature sensitivity of
several components in the initial design of the product. The Company has taken
steps to address these problems and believes that failure rates relating to such
damage and sensitivity have dropped significantly. In this regard, the Company
currently expects to implement a number of additional
8
<PAGE>
improvements to accuDEXA, to further increase reliability, in the first half of
fiscal 2001.
Second, the Company initiated a change in its sales policy which affected
accuDEXA sales made from May 1998 through November 1998. During this time, the
Company waived its customary 10% deposit charged to customers prior to shipment
of goods. In December 1998, the Company changed its credit policy requiring
prepayment from non-dealer customers.
Total cost of sales for the three months ended December 31, 1998 increased
$9.2 million (167%) to $14.7 million (95% of net revenue) from $5.5 million (46%
of net revenue) for the comparable period of fiscal 1998. Total cost of sales
for the nine months ended December 31, 1998, increased $16.2 million (132%) to
$28.4 million (74% of net revenues) from $12.2 million (47% of net revenues)
during the comparable period of fiscal 1998.
Total cost of sales was impacted by an increase in reserves for obsolete
inventory, which was due primarily to changes in technology, including sensors,
cameras and associated electronics, and the Company's phase-out of production of
its CCD Sensors (as well as its first generation APS Sensors) in favor of its
new APS Sensors. In addition, the Company moved forward with the development of
a new intra-oral dental camera to replace the CDRCam(R) product. As a result,
the Company took reserves against inventory associated with these products.
In general, cost of goods was increased by additional direct and indirect
labor costs, increased warranty expenditures, increased material costs,
increased royalty costs for certain goods and increased overhead.
Selling and Marketing expenses for the three months ended December 31,
1998, increased $2.6 million (88%) to $5.5 million (35% of net revenue) from
$2.9 million (24% of net revenue) for the comparable period of fiscal 1998.
Selling and marketing expenses for the nine months ended December 31, 1998,
increased $7.0 million (103%) to $13.8 million (36% of net revenue) from $6.8
million (26% of net revenue) during the comparable period of fiscal 1998. The
increase was due to increases in direct selling expenses in the CDR and accuDEXA
product lines. The Company continued to expand its sales forces during the third
quarter of fiscal 1999, to a total of 125 at the end of the third quarter. In
addition, expenses were affected by the cost of two major dental industry trade
shows which occurred during the third quarter of fiscal 1999. In January 1999,
the Company reduced the number of its direct salespersons to 98.
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended December 31,
1998, increased $1.0 million (85%) to $2.2 million (14% of net revenue) from
$1.2 million (10% of net revenue) for the comparable period of fiscal 1998.
General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended December 31, 1998,
increased $2.1 million (71%) to $5.0 million (13% of net revenue) from $2.9
million (11% of net revenue) during the comparable period of fiscal 1998.
General and administrative cost increases were attributable to increased
administrative expenditures.
Bad debt expenses included an increase of $1.8 million for reserves for
doubtful accounts due to reevaluation of collection information related to sales
in the first and second quarter of fiscal 1999.
Research and development expenses for the three months ended December 31,
1998, decreased $0.4 million (30%) to $0.9 million (6% of net revenue) from $1.3
million (11% of net revenue) for the comparable period of fiscal 1998. Research
and development expenses for the nine months ended December 31, 1998, decreased
$ 0.1 million (4%) to $2.8 million (7% of net revenue) from $2.9 million (11% of
net revenue) for the comparable period of fiscal 1998. The decrease in costs for
the three-month period ended December 31, 1998 primarily reflects lower spending
on testing materials and services and the transfer of research and development
employees to the quality control department.
Interest income decreased to $48 thousand in the three months ended
December 31, 1998 from $360 thousand in the comparable period of fiscal 1998.
Interest income for the nine months ended December 31, 1998 decreased to $477
thousand from $858 thousand for the comparable period of fiscal 1998. The
decrease is attributable to lower cash balances and investments in short-term
interest-bearing securities that were purchased with the proceeds of the
Company's July 1997 Initial Public Offering (the "IPO"). Interest expense of $77
thousand for the six month period ended December 31, 1997 was principally
attributable to a loan from Merck & Co. Inc. that was repaid upon consummation
of the IPO.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Net proceeds from the July 1997 IPO were approximately $33.5 million. At
December 31, 1998, the Company had $1.4 million in cash and cash equivalents,
$3.4 million in short-term investments and $18.4 million in working capital
compared to $6.2 million in cash and cash equivalents, $14.0 million in
short-term investments and $33.7 million in working capital at March 31, 1998.
During the nine months ended December 31, 1998, cash used in operations was
$12.0 million compared to $5.4 million used in operations during the comparable
period of fiscal 1998. The increased cash used in operations is primarily
attributable to increases in the Company's inventory. Accounts receivable
decreased from $10.2 million at March 31, 1998 to $7.9 million at December 31,
1998 due to increases in allowances for doubtful accounts. The increase in
inventory of $3.3 million from $12.1 million at March 31, 1998 to $15.4 million
at December 31, 1998 is primarily attributable to the unsold (or returned) CDR
and accuDEXA units. The Company has made estimated tax payments and anticipates
receiving a refund of approximately $1.7 million and expects a $600 thousand
refund claim resulting from the net operating loss carryback generated in the
current period.
The Company's capital expenditures during the nine-month period ended
December 31, 1998 were in the amount of $3.4 million. Such expenditures included
leasehold improvements, computers, and production equipment.
In spite of the Company's cost reductions, refinancing and tightening of
credit, there can be no assurance that the Company will achieve profitability or
generate sufficient working capital to permit its continuation as a going
concern. Management currently believes that existing capital resources, which
have been diminished as a result of losses in fiscal 1999, and sources of
credit, including the Greystone credit facility, are adequate to meet its
current cash requirements. The ability of the Company to satisfy its cash
requirements is dependent in part on the Company's ability to attain adequate
sales and profit levels and to control warranty obligations by increasing
warranty revenues and reducing warranty costs, and to collect its accounts
receivable on a timely basis. However, if the Company's cash needs are greater
than anticipated or the restructuring of the bridge note payable is not
completed, the Company will be required to seek additional or alternative
financing sources. There can be no assurance that such financing will be
available or available on terms acceptable to the Company.
Year 2000 Compliance
The Year 2000 problem is the result of computer programs having been
written using two digits rather than four to define the applicable year. A
computer program that has date sensitive software may recognize a date using
"00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000. Should systems fail to process
date information correctly because of the calendar year change to 2000,
significant problems could occur as a result. Through the filing date of this
Report, the Company has not experienced any material adverse effects resulting
from or relating to the Year 2000 computer problem.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The DVI Bridge Loan bears an annual interest rate based on the prime rate
plus 2.5%. Because the interest rate is variable, the Company's cash flow may be
adversely affected by increases in interest rates. Management does not, however,
believe that any risk inherent in the variable-rate nature of the loan is likely
to have a material effect on the Company's interest expense or available cash.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
The Company and/or certain of its officers and former officers, are
involved in the proceedings described below:
I. The Company is a named defendant in two lawsuits instituted by Trophy
Radiologie, S.A. (`Trophy S.A.'), a subsidiary of Trex Medical Corporation. One
lawsuit was instituted in France and the other in the United States.
The French lawsuit was filed in November 1995, in the tribunal de Grande
Instance de Bobigny, the French
10
<PAGE>
patent court, and originally alleged that the Company's CDR(R)system infringes
French Patent No. 2,547,495, European Patent No. 129,451 and French Certificate
of Addition No. 2,578,737. These patents, all of which are related, are directed
to a CCD-based intra-oral sensor. Since filing its lawsuit, Trophy S.A. has
withdrawn its allegation of infringement with respect to the Certificate of
Addition. Trophy S.A. is seeking a permanent injunction and unspecified damages,
including damages for its purported lost profits. The Company believes that the
lawsuit is without merit and is vigorously defending it.
The lawsuit in the United States was filed in March 1996 by Trophy S.A.,
Trophy Radiology, Inc., a United States subsidiary of Trophy S.A. (`Trophy
Inc.') and the named inventor on the patent in suit, Francis Mouyen, a French
citizen. The suit was brought in the United States District Court for the
Eastern District of New York, and alleges that the Company's CDR(R) system
infringes United States Patent No. 4,593,400 (the '400 patent'), which is
related to the patents in the French lawsuit. Trophy S.A., Trophy Inc. and
Mouyen are seeking a permanent injunction and unspecified damages, including
damages for purported lost profits, enhanced damages for the Company's purported
willful infringement and an award of attorney fees. The Company believes that
the lawsuit is without merit and is vigorously defending it. The Company's
counsel in the United States suit has issued a formal opinion that the CDR
system does not infringe the 400 patent.
In addition, the Company has counter-sued Trophy S.A. and Trophy Inc. for
infringement of United States Patent No. 4,160,997, an expired patent which was
exclusively licensed to the Company by its inventor, Dr. Robert Schwartz, and
for false advertising and unfair competition. The Company believes that its
counter-suit is meritorious, and is vigorously pursuing it.
On September 12, 1997, after having been given permission to do so by the
Court, the Company served two motions for summary judgment seeking dismissal of
the action pending in the United States District Court for the Eastern District
of New York, on the grounds of non-infringement and patent invalidity. On
February 22, 2000, oral argument on these motions was heard by the Court. The
motions are currently pending.
While the Company believes such suits against it are without merit, there
can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in its defense of any of
these actions, or in its counter-suit. If the Company is unsuccessful in its
defense of any of these actions, it could have a material adverse effect upon
the Company. Moreover, regardless of their outcome, the Company may be forced to
expend significant amounts of money in legal fees in connection with these
lawsuits.
II. In late 1998 through early 1999, nine shareholder complaints purporting
to be class action lawsuits were filed in the United States District Court for
the Eastern District of New York. Plaintiffs filed a Consolidated and Amended
Complaint on or about May 27, 1999 and, on or about November 24, 1999, filed a
Second Amended and Consolidated Complaint (the "Complaint"). The Complaint names
as defendants the Company, David B. Schick, Thomas E. Rutenberg, and David
Spector (collectively, the "Individual Defendants"), as well as
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP.
The Complaint alleges, inter alia, that certain defendants issued false and
misleading statements concerning the Company's publicly reported earnings in
violation of the federal securities laws. The Complaint seeks certification of a
class of persons who purchased the Company's Common Stock between July 1, 1997
and February 19, 1999, inclusive, and does not specify the amount of damages
sought.
The Company has retained counsel, believes that these lawsuits are without
merit, and intends to vigorously defend them. On or about February 11, 2000, the
Company and the Individual Defendants filed a Motion to Dismiss the Complaint.
As these actions are in their preliminary stages, the Company is unable to
predict their ultimate outcome. The outcome, if unfavorable, could have a
material adverse effect on the Company.
III.In August 1999, the Company, through its outside counsel, contacted the
Division of Enforcement of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") to
advise it of certain matters related to the Company's restatement of earnings.
The SEC has made a voluntary request for the production of certain documents.
The Company intends to cooperate fully with the SEC staff and has provided
responsive documents to it. The inquiry is in a preliminary stage and the
Company cannot predict its potential outcome.
The Company may be a party to a variety of legal actions (in addition to
those referred to above), such as employment and employment
discrimination-related suits, employee benefit claims, breach of contract
actions, tort claims, shareholder suits, including securities fraud, and
intellectual property related litigation. In addition, because of the nature of
its business, the Company is subject to a variety of legal actions relating to
its business operations.
11
<PAGE>
Recent court decisions and legislative activity may increase the Company's
exposure for any of these types of claims. In some cases, substantial punitive
damages may be sought. The Company currently has insurance coverage for some of
these potential liabilities. Other potential liabilities may not be covered by
insurance, insurers may dispute coverage, or the amount of insurance may not be
sufficient to cover the damages awarded. In addition, certain types of damages,
such as punitive damages, may not be covered by insurance and insurance coverage
for all or certain forms of liability may become unavailable or prohibitively
expensive in the future.
Item 2. Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds
(d) On July 7, 1997, the Company's initial public offering (the "Offering")
of 1,750,000 shares of its common stock, $.01 par value per share (the "Common
Stock") closed. The Company's registration statement on Form S-1 (Registration
No. 333-33731) was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission
on June 30, 1997. As part of the Offering, the Company granted to the
Underwriters over-allotment options to purchase up to 262,500 shares of Common
Stock ("the "Underwriters' Option"). On July 10, 1997, the underwriters
exercised the Underwriters' Option purchasing 262,500 shares of Common Stock
from the Company. The aggregate offering price of 2,012,500 shares of Common
Stock registered for the account of the Company pursuant to the Offering
(inclusive of the Underwriters' Option) was $37.2 million.
The aggregate net proceeds received by the Company from the Offering and as
a result of the exercise of the Underwriters' Option, after deducting
underwriting and commissions and expenses were $33,508,731. During the period of
July 1, 1997 through March 31, 1999, such net proceeds have been applied as
follows: (i) $1,606,000 for leasehold improvements; (ii) $5,248,000 for plant
and equipment; (iii) $1,450,000 to purchase certain assets of Keystone Dental
X-Ray Corp.; (iv) $1,250,000 to purchase a 5% interest in Photobit, Inc.; (v)
$1,512,833 to pay the notes payable and interest in the amount of $144,296 to
Merck & Co., Inc.; and (vii) the remaining $22,442,000 was used in its entirety
for working capital purposes and to fund the Company's substantial operation
losses in 1999. None of the net proceeds were paid, directly or indirectly, to
directors, officers, controlling stockholders, or affiliates of the Company.
Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities
DVI Financial Services, Inc. ("DVI") has provided the Company with loans
and advances up to $6,222 in the aggregate (the "Bridge Loan"), which is secured
by first priority liens on collateral consisting of all of the Company's
now-owned and hereafter-acquired tangible and intangible personal property
including, without limitation, cash, marketable securities, accounts receivable,
inventories, contract rights, patents, trademarks, copyrights and other general
intangibles, machinery, equipment and interests in real estate of the Company,
together with all products and proceeds thereof. The Company is not in
compliance with certain financial covenants and other terms and provisions
contained in the Bridge Loan. The Company and DVI have entered into a commitment
letter for the restructuring of its Bridge Loan.
