Item 1. Security and Issuer.
The class of equity securities to which this statement relates
is the common stock, $.05 par value (the "Common Stock"), of IMGE, Inc. (the
"Issuer"), a Delaware corporation, whose principal executive offices are located
at 285 Tanglewood Crossing, Lawrence, New York 11559.
The percentage of beneficial ownership reflected in this
Statement is based upon 17,600,452 shares of Common Stock outstanding on July
31, 1995, which number has been obtained from publicly filed documents of the
Issuer.
Item 2. Identity and Background.
(a) Name: This statement is filed on behalf of Ronald I. Heller ("Heller").
(b) Business Address: Heller has a business address of c/o M.H. Meyerson &
Co., Inc., 30 Montgomery Street, Jersey City, New Jersey 07302.
(c) Principal Business: Heller is principally engaged in the investment
banking business for M.H. Meyerson & Co., Inc. ("Meyerson"), an investment
banking firm with its offices at 30 Montgomery Street, Jersey City, New Jersey
07302.
(d) During the last five years, Heller has not been convicted in any
criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors).
(e) During the last five years, Heller has not been a party to any civil
proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction
resulting in any judgment, decree or final order against him enjoining him from
engaging in future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject
to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to
such laws, except that Heller consented to certain findings by the Market
Surveillance Committee ("MSC") of the National Association of Securities Dealers
("NASD"). Specifically, effective January 17, 1994, Heller consented to findings
that R.H. Damon & Co., Inc. ("RHD"), an investment banking firm of which Heller
was a principal, distributed shares of Star Classic, Inc. in violation of
certain NASD rules at a time when RHD acted as one of that public company's
common stock's numerous market makers. While it was noted that such violations
occurred without scienter on Heller's part and that the transactions in question
were made in a negotiated, large block transaction accomplished through the
over-the-counter market at prices believed by RHD to be the then current market
prices, the MSC stated that RHD was negligent to make such transactions without
first withdrawing from market making activities for the requisite period of
time. It was also found that certain of RHD's compliance procedures were
inadequate and, although Heller had passed the Series 24 principals'
examination, for a period of time before passing such examination, he served as
the principal supervising RHD's trading. Heller consented to receiving a $20,000

fine, a two-week suspension from being associated with an NASD member firm in
any capacity and a two-month suspension from being associated with an NASD
member firm in a principal capacity, which latter suspension ended on March 17,
1994.
(f) Heller is a citizen of the United States.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or other Consideration.
Heller used personal funds to purchase the securities, as are
described below in Item 5(c).
Item 4. Purpose of Transactions.
Heller has acquired the securities specified in Item 5(c) of
this Schedule 13D in order to obtain equity positions in the Issuer for
investment purposes. Heller may acquire or dispose of additional shares of the
Issuer, but does not presently intend to do so, although this intention may
change depending upon market conditions. Heller has no present plans which
relate to or would result in: an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a
merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the issuer or any of its
subsidiaries; a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Issuer or
any of its subsidiaries; any change in the present board of directors or
management of the Issuer, including any plans or proposals to change the number
or term of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the board; any
material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer;
any other material change in the Issuer's business or corporate structure;
changes in the Issuer's charter, by-laws or instruments corresponding thereto or
other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any
person; causing a class of securities of the Issuer to be delisted from a
national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in an
inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association;
causing a class of equity securities of the Issuer becoming eligible for
termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Securities and
Exchange Act of 1934; or any action similar to the above.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
(a) The Ronald I. Heller Individual Retirement Account ("IRA")
owns 882,101 shares of Common Stock and the Ronald I. Heller M/P/P/P Account
("M/P/P/P Account") owns 57,600 shares of Common Stock. Additionally, a
custodial account opened by Heller's wife for the benefit of Heller's son owns
15,318 shares of Common Stock ("Custodial Account"). Although Heller disclaims
any voting or dispositive powers over the shares owned by the Custodial Account,
Heller may be deemed to beneficially own such shares pursuant to interpretations
of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, Heller may be deemed to
beneficially own 955,019 shares of the Issuer's Common Stock, or approximately
5.43% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.
