THE INFORMATION TO BE INCLUDED IN THE REPORT.
Item 2. Acquisition of Assets.
On May 8, 1998, the Registrant entered into and
consummated a strategic alliance agreement with Maxxim
Medical, Inc., ("Maxxim"), a Delaware corporation the shares of which are listed
on the New York Stock Exchange, which agreement provided for the acquisition by
the Registrant of the trademark "Bovie", a supply, license and distributorship
arrangement concerning electrosurgical devices and the acquisition of Maxxim's
electrosurgical generator product line in exchange for 3,000,000 shares of
common stock of The Registrant. More specifically, the agreement provides for
(a) an irrevocable royalty-free sub-license to Maxxim to use the "Bovie" name on
any electrosurgical products marketed by Maxxim; (b) a 2-year exclusive
distributorship in Maxxim to resell the Bovie electrosurgical generator product
line anywhere in the world, and (c) a non-exclusive right to Maxxim to sell the
Registrant products anywhere in the world. The distributorship arrangement
provides for anticipated cooperation between Maxxim and the Registrant with
respect to research and development of new products and Maxxim's option to
become the exclusive distributor thereof. Maxxim also agreed to certain minimum
purchase orders for the Bovie generator product line, the Aaron 1200 generators
and other the Registrant products and accessories aggregating $3,000,000 during
the initial 5-year term of the agreement, subject to quality control and the
Registrant's ability to meet commercially reasonable purchase orders of Maxxim.
Kenneth Davidson, the chairman of the Board of Maxxim, has been appointed a
member of the Board of Directors of the Registrant.
As consideration for the foregoing, the Registrant agreed to exchange
3,000,000 shares of common stock for the Bovie Electrosurgical Generator line,
the "Bovie" trademark and tradename,
and entered into agreements for the aforementioned supply, license, and
distributorship arrangement involving Maxxim's commitments to purchase the
Registrant's current and future products. Due to the Registrant's lack of
sufficient authorized shares, in lieu of common stock, the Registrant has issued
a secured convertible promissory note to Maxxim in the principal amount of
$3,000,000 due on May 7, 2008, bearing interest at the rate of 1% above the
prime lending rate in effect at Nations Banc Montgomery Securities LLC which
provides for ten annual payments of principal and interest commencing May 7,
1999. Subject to approval of shareholders increasing the registrant's authorized
capitalization, scheduled to take place no later than September 6, 1998, this
note which is secured by the Registrant's equipment and machinery and inventory,
will be exchanged for 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock of registrant. In the
event, the shareholders fail to authorize the increase as requested, the
Registrant will be forced to seek alternate financing to meet its obligations
under the note. No assurance can be given it will be successful in such
endeavor.
