THE COMPANY
The Company is one of the leading manufacturers of fuel equipment that
allows internal combustion engines to operate on gaseous alternative
fuels, such as propane and natural gas. The Company's wholly-owned
subsidiary, IMPCO Technologies, Inc. ("IMPCO"), which has been in business
since 1958, currently manufactures a broad line of products that are used
in various applications, such as automotive conversions, forklifts, and
small portable to large stationary engines. These products are designed
for internal combustion engines ranging from 1 to 5,000 horsepower and its
products are sold worldwide to distributors and original equipment
manufacturers.
Changing federal and state emission regulations have created a growing
market for engines that use alternative fuels. The Company has developed
products designed to further reduce exhaust emissions to serve that market.
To be competitive, the Company believes it will be necessary to market
products utilizing the latest electronic technology, which is replacing the
vacuum-actuated mechanical devices for many control functions used in
today's internal combustion engines. The Company believes it has a
competitive advantage over its current competitors in the alternative fuel
market place because of its years of experience with gaseous fuels, its
patented mass-sensing technology, its existing market share, its
distribution network, and its internationally recognized products.
AirSensors was primarily engaged in the research and development of
electronic fuel management and injection systems for automotive engines
from its inception in 1978 until its acquisition of IMPCO in 1989.
AirSensors developed a mass-sensing device designed to achieve an optimum
air/fuel mixture that increased engine performance and fuel economy as
compared with carburetor-equipped engines. However, AirSensors realized
only limited revenue from product sales prior to its acquisition of IMPCO
and incurred significant research and development expenses. Since the
acquisition of IMPCO, the Company has concentrated its efforts on providing
equipment for converting internal combustion engines to alternative fuels,
such as propane and natural gas. AirSensors is now primarily a holding
company.
AirSensors was incorporated in the State of Washington in 1978 and
became a Delaware corporation in 1985. The address of the Company's
executive office is 16804 Gridley Place, Cerritos, California 90703, and
its telephone number is (310) 860-6666.
RISK FACTORS
Investment in the Common Stock offered hereby is speculative and
subject to significant risks. Prospective investors should review
carefully this entire Prospectus and consider the risks of investment,
including the following:
OPERATING HISTORY - PRIOR LOSSES. Prior to its acquisition of IMPCO,
AirSensors was primarily involved in research and development and
accumulated a deficit of approximately $18 million. It did not realize
significant revenue from product sales. Subsequent to the acquisition of
IMPCO, the Company realized operating income. However, through fiscal year
1992 it continued to incur net losses due to substantial financing charges
resulting from the leveraged acquisition of IMPCO, and at April 30, 1995
had an accumulated deficit of $19,172,879. For the fiscal year ending
April 30, 1995, the Company had net income applicable to common stock of
$2,419,596. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will
continue to operate profitably.
DEPENDENCE ON NEW PRODUCTS. The Company believes that its future
success is dependent upon the successful marketing of new fuel management
products using mass-sensing and electronic technology. It believes that
the markets for its products will be characterized by rapidly changing
technology, new product introductions and the entry of new competitors.
Accordingly, its ability to enhance existing products in a timely manner
and to develop and introduce new products that incorporate new
technologies, conform to increasingly stringent emission standards and
achieve market acceptance in a timely manner, will significantly affect its
future performance.
DEPENDENCE ON QUALIFIED PERSONNEL. The success of the Company
depends, in part, on the continued availability of other key management and
technical employees. As product development becomes more complex, the
necessity to attract and retain qualified automotive and software engineers
will increase. Although the Company believes it has a positive working
relationship with its employees, there can be no assurance that the Company
can attract or retain such key management and technical employees.
<PAGE>
NEED FOR ADDITIONAL CAPITAL. The Company will be required over the
next several years to expend substantial amounts to complete development
and testing of its new products and to bring those products to market.
Although the Company expects to fund a major portion of these expenses from
operations, there can be no assurance that cash flow will be adequate for
such purposes. The Company may be required to seek funds for these and
other purposes through additional equity debt or lease financing,
collaborative arrangements with corporate partners or from other sources.
There can be no assurance that additional funds will be available, or if
available, on terms acceptable to the Company. If adequate funds are not
available from operations or from other financing sources, the Company's
business will be materially and adversely affected.
DEPENDENCE ON ALTERNATIVE FUEL MARKET. Although the Company and
others believe that there will be substantial growth in the market for
alternative fueled engines, especially among fleet vehicle owners, there
can be no assurance that such growth will materialize or, if such growth
does occur, that it will result in increased sales of the Company's
products. The Company's products are designed for gaseous alternative
fueled vehicles, but not for alternative fuels such as electricity,
reformulated gasoline, methanol and ethanol. If the major growth in the
alternative fuel market is for such fuels, the Company will be adversely
affected. At present, the lack of a well-developed infrastructure for the
supply of alternative fuels is limiting growth in the alternative fuel
engine market. Such an infrastructure is necessary for wide-spread use of
alternate fuels. While some development has begun in Canada, there has
been little similar development in the United States.
Also, while alternative fueled vehicles have been operating in the
United States for many years, the economic and environmental benefits
continue to be scrutinized by opponents of alternative fuels, including
large, multi-national companies with significant interests in a petroleum
based economy. Although the Company believes the alternative fuel market
will overcome this opposition, there can be no assurance that market
acceptance of alternative fuel vehicles will be as favorable as the Company
has projected.
LEGISLATIVE DELAYS. The Company believes that future growth in the
conversion of motor vehicles to alternative fuels will be driven
principally by federal and state anti-pollution legislation, such as the
1990 Amendments to the Clean Air Act and the Energy Policy Act of 1992.
Significant growth of the Company's products for the United States motor
vehicle market is contingent upon the timing of the implementation of such
legislation. There can be no assurance that changes or delays in this
legislation will not occur and have an unfavorable impact on the Company's
business.
NEED TO DEVELOP VEHICLE SPECIFIC SOFTWARE. The Company develops
vehicle specific software to enable it to produce in a timely and
economical manner engine management products for use in converting fleet
and other vehicles from gasoline to gaseous alternative fuels. When
vehicle models change, which in some cases is as often as yearly, the
Company must develop new or modified software for the changed or new
vehicle model. Although the Company believes it will be able to develop
such vehicle specific software, there can be no assurance that the Company
will complete such development or, if such development is completed, it
will be in a timely manner which may be required in order for the Company
to be competitive.
COMPETITION. The Company believes that competition in the alternative
fuel engine marketplace is increasing, particularly in the growing market
for propane and natural gas fueled vehicle products. Many of the current
competitors and potential future competitors are large, well-financed
companies, with financial and marketing resources and research and
development staffs and facilities that are substantially larger than those
of the Company. Further, competitors' products may perform the same
functions as the products the Company is attempting to develop by the use
of similar or other technology. Also, competitors may be able to satisfy
regulatory requirements and market their products faster and more
effectively than the Company. Any of these competitive factors could
adversely affect the Company.
ENTRY OF ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURERS INTO MARKET. As the market
for alternative fueled vehicles increases, original equipment manufacturers
may find it advantageous to develop and produce their own fuel management
equipment rather than purchasing such equipment from suppliers such as the
Company. If this occurs, the demand for the Company's products could be
adversely affected.
<PAGE>
NEED TO COMPLY WITH GOVERNMENTAL REGULATIONS. The Company must obtain
product certification from governmental agencies such as the United States
Environmental Protection Agency and the California Air Resources Board to
sell certain of its products in the United States automotive markets. A
substantial portion of the Company's future sales will depend upon sales of
fuel management products that have been certified to meet existing and
future air quality and energy regulations. Although the Company believes
its technology will permit its existing and new products to meet these
standards, there can be no assurance that this will occur.
INCREASED WARRANTY CLAIMS. Vehicle manufacturers are, in response to
consumer demand, providing increasingly longer warranty periods for their
products. Suppliers, such as the Company, will be required to provide
correspondingly longer product warranties. Consequently, the Company could
incur substantially greater warranty claims in the future.
LIMITED PATENT OR PROPRIETARY PROTECTION. The Company's success
depends in part upon its patented mass-sensing technology and its other
proprietary technology. While the Company holds several patents, much of
its other technology is not protected by patents or copyrights. Also,
other existing technology performs the functions covered by the Company's
patented technology and can be used without violating the Company's
patents. Although the Company's patents and trade secrets afford it
protection, the Company believes that its growth potential and future
success are more dependent upon its technical expertise and marketing
skills. There can be no assurance that the Company's patents and trade
secrets will provide meaningful protection against competitors.
DEPENDENCE ON VENDORS AND OTHER MANUFACTURING RISKS. The Company
places substantial reliance on outside vendors to manufacture components.
In the fiscal year ended April 30, 1995, 10 suppliers accounted for
approximately 56% of raw material purchases and one supplier accounted for
approximately 28% of such purchases. There can be no assurance that
vendors will be able to satisfy the Company's quality and production volume
requirements. Such problems with vendors could adversely affect the
Company's business. Historically, the Company's products have been
primarily mechanical in nature and its manufacturing operations are
essentially mechanical assembly with light machining. Its newer products
increasingly involve electronics and software applications. The Company
has had limited experience with manufacturing processes that involve
electronics and software systems. See "Business - Manufacturing."
NEED FOR QUALIFIED DISTRIBUTORS. Installation of the Company's
component products is complex and requires distributors with technical
knowledge about electronic engine systems. The Company requires that
distributors be "certified" before installing certain component products.
It provides training to certain existing distributors and is attempting to
gain new distributors in order to have a technically qualified network of
distributors to install these component products. If the Company is unable
to establish a network of qualified distributors, the success of its newer
component product lines could be adversely affected.
ABILITY TO MEET OEM SPECIFICATIONS. In 1995 the Company began to
offer complete alternative fuel systems, which include tanks, brackets,
electronics and all other under-hood components required to convert a motor
vehicle to alternative fuels. Customers for such systems require that they
meet OEM specifications. This requirement has resulted in increased
development, manufacturing, warranty and administrative costs. If these
costs increase significantly, the Company's profitability might not be as
favorable as it has projected.
PRODUCT LIABILITY. Although the Company carries and plans to continue
to carry product liability insurance, there can be no assurance that such
coverage is adequate or that adequate insurance coverage will continue to
be available or, if available, that it will be available at an acceptable
cost.
DILUTION TO NEW INVESTORS. Purchasers of the Common Stock offered
hereby will experience immediate and substantial dilution in the net book
value per share of the Common Stock offered hereby. Based upon the net
tangible book value of the Company at April 30, 1995, and based on an
offering price of $7.50 per share, the dilution to investors purchasing the
Common Stock offered hereby would be $5.71 or 76% per share. See
"Dilution."
<PAGE>
SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE. At November 30, 1995, the Company
had approximately 5,649,867 shares of Common Stock outstanding. Of these
shares, approximately 3,476,967 shares were held by persons who are not
"affiliates" of the Company and were transferable without restriction under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). The
remaining shares held by "affiliates" of the Company may be sold if
registered under the Securities Act or pursuant to an applicable exemption
from registration, including Rule 144 under the Securities Act. As of
November 30, 1995, 782,669 and 1,332,138 shares of Common Stock were
issuable upon exercise of outstanding options and warrants, respectively.
Of those shares, 1,869,976 are currently exercisable at a weighted average
exercise price of $6.91 per share. In addition, 1,123,489 shares of Common
Stock are issuable at a conversion price of $5.30 per share under the 1993
Series 1 Preferred Stock. Sales of restricted shares and shares issuable
upon the exercise of outstanding warrants and options or conversion of
preferred stock may have a material adverse impact on the market price of
the Company's Common Stock.
CONTROL BY DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS. Currently, the directors and
officers of the Company, as a group, own or have the right to acquire
approximately 48% of the outstanding voting stock. Together, they have the
effective power to elect the Company's Board of Directors and to approve or
disapprove any corporate action submitted to a vote of the Company's
stockholders. In addition, the Board of Directors has the authority to
issue a substantial number of additional shares of Common Stock and
Preferred Stock and to determine the rights, preferences, privileges and
restrictions, including voting rights, of the additional Preferred Stock,
without any vote or action by the stockholders. The voting power of the
directors and officers or the issuance of additional stock under certain
circumstances, combined with the fact that directors serve for staggered
terms, could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control
of the Company.
EXTENSION OF WARRANT EXPIRATION DATE
The Common Stock Purchase Warrants were to expire on March 9, 1996, at
5:00 p.m. (California time). On November 3, 1995 the Board of Directors
extended the expiration date to March 7, 1997, at 5:00 p.m. (California
time).
USE OF PROCEEDS
The net proceeds to be received by the Company from the sale of the
Common Stock offered hereby are estimated to be $6,458,750, assuming
exercise of all of the presently outstanding Warrants. The net proceeds of
this offering will become part of the Company's general funds and will be
used to repay short-term borrowing and other working capital needs.
DIVIDEND POLICY
The Company has never paid dividends on its Common Stock. It intends
to retain future earnings to finance the operation and expansion of its
business and does not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable
future.
The holders of the Company's 1993 Series 1 Preferred Stock are
entitled to cumulative cash dividends in preference to the Common Stock in
an amount equivalent to interest at an annual rate per share (based on a
deemed value of $1,000 per share) equal to the bank prime rate of interest,
plus 1.5%, up to an amount not to exceed $105 per share and not less than
$80 per share. See Description of Capital Stock - Preferred Stock." As
of April 30, 1995, 5,950 shares of the 1993 Series 1 Preferred Stock were
outstanding.
DILUTION
The net tangible book value of common stockholders' equity as of
April 30, 1995 was $5,177,004 or $.92 per share. Net tangible book value
per share represents the amount of the Company's total tangible assets
(total assets less intangible assets, total liabilities and the liquidation
preference of preferred stock) divided by the number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding. Net tangible book value dilution represents the
difference between the amount per share paid by purchasers in this offering
and the pro forma net tangible book value per share after the offering.
<PAGE>
Without taking into account any changes in tangible book value after
April 30, 1995, except to give pro forma effect to the sale by the Company
of the Common Stock in this offering at an offering price of $7.50 per
share, with assumed net proceeds to the Company of $6,458,750, the pro
forma net tangible book value of the common stockholders' equity at
April 30, 1995 would have been $11,635,754, or $1.79 per share of Common
Stock. This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of
$0.87 per share to existing common stockholders and an immediate dilution
of $5.71 or 76% per share to purchasers in this offering. The following
table also assumes no exercise of any outstanding options or warrants other
than the Warrants.
