FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus contains "forward looking statements" within the
meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking
statements can be identified by the use of words such as "expect," "anticipate,"
"plan," "may," "estimate" or other similar expressions. These statements involve
known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the
actual results to differ materially from any future results, performance or
achievements expressed in or implied by forward looking statements. Factors that
may impact forward-looking statements include, among other things:
* our decision to cease business operations,
* our decision to dispose of all remaining corporate assets and the
uncertainty of obtaining any meaningful value,
* the uncertainty of our continued listing on the Nasdaq SmallCap
market,
* other risk factors discussed in the "Risk Factors" section below in
this prospectus and from time to time in our filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
ABOUT APPLIED BIOMETRICS - RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
We have been in development of advanced medical diagnostic and
monitoring systems, and are currently terminating our operating capabilities and
positioning ourselves for business sale or liquidation.
Applied Biometrics was founded in 1984 to develop and market a cardiac
output monitoring system using an ultrasound probe mounted in an endotrachial
tube. After a number of years of research and development, we decided in 1996 to
focus our efforts on a derivative of this device; a new, intra-operative cardiac
output system using a disposable ultrasound probe applied directly to the
ascending aorta. These efforts resulted in the Basis System, which was in
development through July 2000.
In July 2000, we announced that due to significant technical issues
facing the Basis System that commercialization of the System was unlikely in the
near term. We determined that upon analysis of recent procedures with the Basis
System, two significant issues were identified. The first issue was the System's
ability to work successfully in the event of considerable variability or
turbulence in a patient's blood flow. The second issue involves errors arising
from the positioning of the System's probe during and after the surgical
procedure. Degradation of the probe's attachment or position on the patient's
aorta will introduce data errors in to the System and result in inaccurate
cardiac output. Both of these problems impact the System's performance,
reliability and market potential.
As we researched these technical issues, we took steps to reduce our
operating costs and workforce and accelerate our efforts to find strategic
alternatives. We also discussed the potential sale of the company or technology
with a number of parties without success. Ultimately we determined that the
resolution of our technical challenges and the commercialization of our product
were beyond our current financial resources. Accordingly, we have decided to
terminate business operations and to dispose of our remaining corporate assets.
We are incorporated in Minnesota and have our principal executive
offices at 501 East Highway 13, Suite 108, Burnsville, Minnesota 55337. Our
telephone number is (952) 890-1123.

RISK FACTORS
AN INVESTMENT IN THE SHARES INVOLVES A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK AND SHOULD
BE MADE ONLY BY PERSONS WHO CAN AFFORD TO LOSE THEIR ENTIRE INVESTMENT.
INVESTORS SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING RISK FACTORS AS WELL AS ALL OF
THE OTHER MATTERS SET FORTH ELSEWHERE IN THIS PROSPECTUS.
WE HAVE DECIDED TO CEASE BUSINESS OPERATIONS AND ARE NOT A GOING
CONCERN
We have decided to terminate business operations due to technical
difficulties our sole product, the Basis System, and our limited financial
resources. We have terminated our entire workforce and are in the process of
disposing of all corporate assets, resolving remaining liabilities and
obligations and positioning the company for sale or liquidation. As a result, an
investment in the shares will not allow any ability to profit from future
business or operations as formerly conducted by the company. Although we may
seek to complete a reverse merger of the company with another operation company,
we make no assurance as to our ability to conclude such a transaction or the
business, financial condition or results of operations of any successor entity.
WE HAVE DECIDED TO DISPOSE OF ALL CORPORATE ASSETS AND POSITION THE
COMPANY FOR SALE OR LIQUIDATION AND CANNOT ASSURE YOU THAT ANY MEANINGFUL VALUE
WILL BE ACHIEVED AND BE AVAILABLE FOR DISTRIBUTION
In conjunction with our decision to cease business operations we have
also decided to dispose of our remaining corporate assets. We cannot be certain
that we will be able to obtain any meaningful value from these assets, which
include our intellectual property assets, machinery, equipment and furniture, or
that we will be able to complete any corporate transaction such as a reverse
merger. To date, we have discussed the potential sale of the business and
technology with a number of parties without success. In addition, we will incur
costs to terminate our workforce and settle our remaining contracts, commitments
and obligations. Even though, we are working to positioning the company for
merger or liquidation, we cannot be certain that any meaningful amount will be
available for distribution to shareholders.
OUR COMMON STOCK WILL LIKELY BE DELISTED FROM THE NASDAQ SMALLCAP
MARKET, WHICH WILL ADVERSELY AFFECT THE MARKET FOR SUCH SHARES.
Our common stock is currently traded on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market, and
we are required to meet certain financial criteria for continued listing. We
will not be able to satisfy these criteria, and anticipate that our common stock
will be delisted from the Nasdaq SmallCap Market as a result. Consequently, the
liquidity of our common stock will likely be impaired, not only in the number of
shares which may be bought and sold, but also through delays in the timing of
transactions and reduction in security analysts and news media coverage, if any.
Additionally, federal regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 regulate the trading of so-called "penny stocks," which are generally
defined as any security not listed on a national securities exchange or the
Nasdaq Stock Market, priced at less than $5.00 per share and offered by an
issuer with limited net tangible assets and revenues. Because our common stock
currently trades below $5.00 per share, delisting from the Nasdaq SmallCap
Market will subject us to the full range of the penny stock rules. Under these
rules, broker-dealers must take certain steps prior to selling a "penny stock,"
including: (i) obtaining financial and investment information from the investor;
(ii) obtaining a written suitability questionnaire and purchase agreement signed
by the investor; and (iii) providing the investor a written identification of
the shares being offered and the quantity of the shares. If these rules are not
5
<PAGE>
followed by the broker-dealer, the investor has no obligation to purchase the
shares. The application of the comprehensive penny stock rules will make it more
difficult for broker-dealers, and, consequently, our shareholders, to sell our
common stock in the secondary trading market.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
We are registering the resale of 1,958,250 shares of our common stock
on behalf of certain selling shareholders. All of the shares were issued by us
in connection with private placement financings or are issuable upon exercise of
outstanding warrants. We will not receive any proceeds from this offering.
The selling shareholders named in the table below or pledgees, donees,
transferees or other successors-in-interest selling shares received from a named
selling shareholder as a gift, partnership distribution or other
non-sale-related transfer after the date of this prospectus may sell the shares
from time to time. All of such persons are "selling shareholders" as that term
is used in this prospectus. The selling shareholders will act independently of
Applied Biometrics in making decisions with respect to the timing, manner and
size of each sale.
Sales by the selling shareholders may be made on one or more exchanges
or in the over-the-counter market or otherwise, at prices and at terms then
prevailing or at prices related to the then current market price, or in
negotiated transactions. The selling shareholders may effect such transactions
by selling the shares to or through broker-dealers. The shares may be sold by
one or more of, or a combination of, the following:
* a block trade in which the broker-dealer so engaged will attempt to
sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of
the block as principal to facilitate the transaction,
* purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by such
broker-dealer for its account pursuant to this prospectus,
* an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of such
exchange,
* ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker
solicits purchasers, and
* in privately negotiated transactions.
In addition, any securities covered by this prospectus that qualify for
sale pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act may be sold under
Rule 144 rather than pursuant to this prospectus.
To the extent required, this prospectus may be amended or supplemented
from time to time in the manner discussed below to describe a specific plan of
distribution. In effecting sales, broker-dealers engaged by the selling
shareholders may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate in the resales.
The selling shareholders may enter into hedging transactions with
broker-dealers in connection with distributions of the shares or otherwise. In
such transactions, broker-dealers may engage in short sales of the shares in the
course of hedging the positions they assume with selling shareholders. The
selling shareholders also may sell shares short and redeliver the shares to
close out such short positions. The selling shareholders may enter into option
or other transactions with broker-dealers that require the delivery to the
broker-dealer of the shares. The broker-dealer may then resell or otherwise
transfer such shares pursuant to this prospectus. The selling shareholders also
may loan or pledge the shares to a broker-dealer. The broker-dealer may sell the
shares so loaned, or on a default the broker-dealer may sell the pledged shares
pursuant to this prospectus.
Broker-dealers or agents may receive compensation in the form of
commissions, discounts or concessions from selling shareholders. Broker-dealers
or agents may also receive compensation from the purchasers of the shares for
whom they act as agents or to whom they sell as principals, or both.
6
<PAGE>
Compensation as to a particular broker-dealer might be in excess of customary
commissions and will be in amounts to be negotiated in connection with the sale.
Broker-dealers or agents and any other participating broker-dealers or the
selling shareholders may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of
Section 2(11) of the Securities Act in connection with sales of the shares.
Accordingly, any such commission, discount or concession received by them and
any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be
underwriting discounts or commissions under the Securities Act. The selling
shareholders have advised Applied Biometrics that they have not entered into any
agreements, understandings or arrangements with any underwriters or
broker-dealers regarding the sale of their securities. There is no underwriter
or coordinating broker acting in connection with the proposed sale of shares by
selling shareholders.
The shares will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or
dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in
certain states the shares may not be sold unless they have been registered or
qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration
or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.
Under applicable rules and regulations under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended, any person engaged in the distribution of the shares
may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to our
common stock for a period of two business days prior to the commencement of such
distribution. In addition, each selling shareholder will be subject to
applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the associated rules and
regulations under the Exchange Act, including Regulation M, which provisions may
limit the timing of purchases and sales of shares of our common stock by the
selling shareholders. Because selling shareholders may be deemed to be
"underwriters" within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act, the
selling shareholders will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of
the Securities Act. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the
selling shareholders and have informed them of the need for delivery of copies
of this prospectus to purchasers at or prior to the time of any sale of the
shares.
We will file a supplement to this prospectus, if required, pursuant to
Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act upon being notified by a selling
shareholder that any material arrangement has been entered into with a
broker-dealer for the sale of shares through a block trade, special offering,
exchange distribution or secondary distribution or a purchase by a broker or
dealer. Such supplement will disclose:
* the name of each such selling shareholder and of the participating
broker-dealer(s),
* the number of shares involved,
* the price at which such shares were sold,
* the commissions paid or discounts or concessions allowed to such
broker-dealer(s), where applicable,
* that such broker-dealer(s) did not conduct any investigation to
verify the information set out or incorporated by reference in this
prospectus, and
* other facts material to the transaction.
In addition, upon being notified by a selling shareholder that a donee,
pledgee, transferee or other successor-in-interest intends to sell more than 500
shares, we will file a supplement to this prospectus.
We will bear all costs, expenses and fees in connection with the
registration of the shares. The selling shareholders will bear all commissions
and discounts, if any, attributable to the sales of the shares. The selling
shareholders may agree to indemnify any broker-dealer or agent that participates
in transactions involving sales of the shares against certain liabilities,
including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.
