PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Business Development
Vision Ten, Inc., a Delaware corporation organized in 1989 (the
"Company"), is engaged in the medical film digitizing business. The
Company currently manufactures and markets a single product,
specifically a medium priced, full-fidelity, full-featured solid state
film digitizer.
On May 19, 1994, the Company had approximately 53% of its outstanding
capital stock acquired by Cybernetics Products, Inc. ("CPI"), a
corporation engaged in the development, manufacturing and marketing of
products and systems utilized in the electronics, printed circuit
board, electronic imaging and photography markets, in exchange for
approximately 185,000 shares of CPI's common stock, of which the
Company received approximately 105,000 shares (the "CPI Acquisition").
In connection with the CPI Acquisition, the Company granted CPI an 18
month option (the "Option") exercisable at $.10 per share to acquire
such additional number of shares of the Company's Common Stock as would
then be required to provide the holder thereof with beneficial
ownership of 80% of the Company's outstanding capital stock. The Option
expired on November 18, 1996.
On March 28, 1996, ("The Partnership") through a reduction in
intercompany indebtedness between Oxberry, LLC, a New Jersey company
owned by ("The Partnership") and Dr. Thumim, and The Company, acquired
9,956,936 shares of The Company's common stock giving it approximately
81% ownership of The Company. See Item 12 "Security Ownership of
Certain Beneficial Owners and Management" and Item 13 "Certain
Relationships and Related Transactions".
On April 3, 1995, the shares of the Company's outstanding capital stock
owned by CPI were sold together with the Option referred to above to
Alfred I. Thumim as nominee for a limited partnership formed as the
Thumim Family Partnership L. P. (the "Partnership") for $103,000 in
addition to the assumption of certain liabilities (the Stock Sale).
Alfred I. Thumim is the President and Chief Executive Officer of the
Company and sole General Partner of the Partnership.
Business of Issuer
Imaging Technology
- -
<PAGE>
VISION TEN, INC.
Medical diagnostic imaging systems are based upon the ability of energy
waves to penetrate human tissue and to be detected by either
photographic film or electronic devices for presentation of an image on
a video monitor.
When a digitizer captures an X-ray film image it uses a sensor, such as
a charged-coupled device ("CCD"), to break the image being scanned into
a series of pixels (dots), which are then converted to digital signals
and sent to a computer's memory. The more pixels into which the image
is divided, the more accurate the scanned image will appear when viewed
on a monitor, and the more effective image enhancement can be to the
viewer.
The Company's third generation CCD 12-bit film digitizer is the medium
used to transfer high quality X-ray film images to a video monitor for
diagnostic and clinical review.
The uniqueness of the Company's X-ray film digitizer resides in its
patented techniques for its diffuse film illumination light source and
an accurate density measurement of 3.5, which meets the industry
acceptable requirement for faithful reproduction of X-ray films. This
patented capability affords the Company the opportunity to favorably
compete with more expensive laser digitizers.
Principal Products
X-Ray Film Digitizer: The Company, in the latter half of 1992,
extracted the X-ray film digitizer component from its Rita!(168) system
and began to engineer and manufacture a high resolution X-ray film
digitizer to be marketed as an original equipment manufacture ("OEM")
product for inclusion in other companies' medical and industrial X-ray
imaging computer systems.
The digitizer produced by the Company is capable of digitizing an
entire chest-sized X-ray film (14"x17") at what management believes,
based upon its experience in the marketplace and upon discussions with
customers, is one of the highest resolution digitizers commercially
available today: 3,373 by 4,000 pixels over a 14"x17" film. The
digitizer is capable of sensing each pixel's light level and
translating it into one of approximately 4,096 levels of gray for each
pixel, representing changes in film density from approximately 0.0 to
3.5+ to correspond with the dynamic range of the majority of X-ray
films in the medical market. Image quality is comparable to the laser
scanning processes. Management believes this technology also offers
many unique advantages, including speed of scanning, spot size, cost to
acquire, and cost to maintain.
Principal Markets
The markets in which the Company's product is used are principally
teleradiology, telemedicine and X- ray archival and storage. In the
teleradiology and telemedicine markets the scanner's ability to convert
the image on an X-ray or mammogram to digital data is used to transmit
the data over communication channels to remote computers for use by
radiologists and medical consultants. The ability of the scanner to
convert the X-rays and mammogram to digital form is also used to store
these images on

VISION TEN, INC.
a variety of electronic media devices for quick retrieval by computer
systems. These markets are growing and are competitive with the current
emphasis of making the delivery of medical services more efficient and
cost effective using computer technology.
Government Regulation
The Company's X-ray film digitizer is subject to Federal regulations
monitored and enforced by the United States Food and Drug
Administration ("FDA"). The film digitizer is considered a Class II
device under the Medical Devices Amendment of 1976 to the Food, Drug
and Cosmetic Act, which means the digitizer is substantially equivalent
to products already on the market for FDA regulatory purposes.
Companies who manufacture Class II devices are subject to pre-marketing
notification requirements. These requirements include annual
registration, listing of devices, maintenance of good manufacturing
practices, labeling, prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration,
and notification of injuries. Management believes these requirements
will not materially affect the operations of the Company. The Company
believes it has complied with all FDA pre-market notification
requirements related to the X-ray film digitizer.
Manufacturing and Sources of Supply
Manufacturing efforts, with respect to the Company's X-ray film
digitizer, consist mostly of assembly of standard industry items
available from multiple sources including an affiliate, Oxberry LLC,
which has a fully integrated manufacturing facility and
Company-designed components manufactured by outside service firms. The
Company has not experienced any significant delays with regard to
availability or supply of any parts or components. Management believes
there are many source firms that could manufacture the Company-designed
components. The Company has no employees and receives assembly labor as
well as engineering personnel and software consultants on an "as
needed" basis from an affiliate, Oxberry LLC, owned by the Partnership
and General Partner, Alfred I. Thumim. See "Business Development"
above.
Proprietary Protection
The Company presently holds two patents for significant components of
its X-ray film digitizer. There can be no assurance the Company's
products will not infringe upon any patents or rights of others.
Marketing and Sales
- -
<PAGE>
VISION TEN, INC.
Utilizing its own commissioned marketing and sales personnel, the
Company markets its digitizers to OEMs' and system integrators. To meet
customer requirements, the Company provides such potential customers
with film digitizers for an evaluation period of approximately 30 to 90
days. At the end of the evaluation period, the digitizer is either
returned or purchased. It has been the experience of the Company that a
majority of the digitizers are purchased, integrated with the OEM's
technology and forms the start of a continuing relationship.
The Company generally warrants its products for one year with warranty
service, if required, performed by personnel from an affiliate, Oxberry
LLC.
Two customers accounted for approximately 26% and 75% of the Company's
sales during the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
Competition
In the primary markets in which the Company sells X-ray film
digitizers, the major competitors are the Truvel division of The Vidar
Corporation and Lumisys, Inc., both of which have greater financial and
managerial resources than does the Company.
Management believes the principal competitive factors for its product
are price, image quality, maintenance costs, reliability and speed of
the equipment as compared to the other competing products currently
available in the marketplace. Management believes the Company's
digitizer is currently positioned to compete favorably in each of the
aforementioned respects.
Research and Development
To further enhance its existing products and technologies, the Company
utilizes the personnel resources of an affiliate, Oxberry LLC.
Emphasis is placed upon improved design of the Company's current
product and introduction of new products.
Environmental Regulation Compliance
Compliance with federal, state and local provisions regulating the
discharge of materials into the environment, or otherwise relating to
the protection of the environment, does not have any material effect
upon the capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position of the
Company.

ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
As a result of the CPI Acquisition, the Company's manufacturing
operation was relocated to Carlstadt, NJ in April 1994, with Oxberry
LLC. The Company utilizes the manufacturing and administrative support
of Oxberry LLC on an "as needed" basis.

Manufacturing
(1) Leased by Oxberry LLC from Alfred I. Thumim, the President and
Chief Executive Officer of the Company, General Partner of the
Partnership and owner together with ("The Partnership") and Oxberry
LLC. The annual rental expense allocated to the Company in connection
with its use of this leased space, approximated $8,000 which The
Company believes this rental is comparable to that which could be
obtained from an unaffilated third party. This amount is part of the
advances making up the intercompany indebtedness due from The Company
to Oxberry, LLC. See Item 13 "Certain Relationships and Related
Transactions". Prior to December 1996 the Company leased 200 square
feet of a facility located in Los Angeles, CA for it's sales and
marketing operations for monthly rent payments of $400. This lease was
cancelled in November 1996 and the Company moved it's sales and
marketing operations into the Carlstadt, NJ location.

ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
General
Vision Ten, Inc., a Delaware corporation organized in 1989 (the
"Company"), is engaged in the medical film digitizing business. The
Company currently manufactures and markets a single product,
specifically a medium priced, full-fidelity, full-featured solid state
film digitizer.
On May 19, 1994, the Company had approximately 53% of its outstanding

corporation engaged in the development, manufacturing and marketing of
products and systems utilized in the electronics, printed circuit
board, electronic imaging and photography markets, in exchange for
approximately 185,000 shares of CPI's common stock, of which the
Company received approximately 105,000 shares (the "CPI Acquisition").
In connection with the CPI Acquisition, the Company granted CPI an 18
month option (the "Option") to acquire such additional number of shares
of the Company's Common Stock as would then be required to provide the
holder thereof with beneficial ownership of 80% of the Company's
outstanding capital stock. The Option, exercisable immediately upon
grant at a price of $.10 per share, was to expire on November 18, 1995.

<PAGE>
VISION TEN, INC.
On April 3, 1995, the shares of the Company's outstanding capital stock
owned by CPI were sold together with the Option to Alfred I. Thumim as
nominee for a limited partnership to be formed as the Thumim Family
Partnership L. P. (the Partnership), an entity controlled by the
President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, for $103,000 in
addition to the assumption of certain liabilities.
On March 28, 1996, ("The Partnership") through a reduction in
intercompany indebtedness between Oxberry, LLC, a New Jersey company
owned by ("The Partnership") and Dr. Thumim, and The Company, acquired
9,956,936 shares of The Company's common stock giving it
approximately 81% ownership of The Company. See Item 12 "Security
Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management" and Item 13
"Certain Relationships and Related Transactions".
Results of Operations
Year Ended December 31, 1997 Compared
to Year Ended December 31, 1996
Revenues for the year ended December 31, 1997 were $123,000., compared
to revenues of $502,000. for the corresponding period in 1996. The
decrease in revenue is a direct result of serveral large orders placed
and shipped during 1996, which replenished the inventory needs of one
customer and the sales for which did not recur during 1997.
Cost of sales for the year ended December 31, 1997 were $96,000 or 78%
of revenues, compared to $432,000 or 86% of revenues for the
corresponding period in 1996. The decrease in cost of sales percentage
in 1997 compared to 1996 is primarily a result of the reduction in
overhead expenses due to the Company's reduced activites.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended
December 31, 1997 were $57,000 , compared to $116,000 for the
corresponding period in 1996. The reduction of these expenses is
attributable to the Company's reduction in selling and administrative
personnel and facility costs.
Research and development expenses for the year ended December 31, 1997
were $36,000., compared to $33,000 for the corresponding period in
1996. The Company increased it's research and development efforts
during the year in order to improve its scanner product line as well as
the software interface.
For the reasons set forth above, net loss for the year ended December
31, 1997 was $66,000, compared to a net loss of $80,000 for the
corresponding period in 1996.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's principal source of cash flow is the collection of
customer's accounts receivables and cash flow from operations.
Such sources of cash have been sufficient to fund the Company's cash
flow needs to date. Additionally, the Company has received the benefit
of shared services from an affiliate, Oxberry LLC. Allocations for
salaries, rent, telephone and utilities were based upon an agreed upon
percentage. Approximately $148,000. and $121,500. were allocated by the
affiliate for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996 respectively.
To the extent required, the Company's Chief Executive officer was
committed to find operations to the extent that operating cash flows are
not sufficient in 1998.
