ITEM 2. ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.
On August 31, 2000, Premier Laser Systems, Inc (the "Company")
completed the sale of the Company's stock in Ophthalmic Imaging Systems ("OIS"),
the Company's intercompany receivable from OIS (the "Receivable"), and its
inventory of OIS products to MediVision Medical Imaging, Ltd. ("MediVision"), an
Israeli corporation, for $2.7 million in cash and registered stock of MediVision
(the "Sale"), pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement")
dated as of July 13, 2000, attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated
herein by reference.
Under the terms of the Agreement, MediVision converted the Receivable
into OIS stock at a conversion price of $0.55 per share, and as a result of the
Sale, MediVision now owns approximately 73% of the common stock of OIS.
The Company received $1.7 million cash at the closing of the
transaction, and MediVision is obligated to issue within six weeks of the

million, (the "Shares"). This obligation is supported by a letter of credit

of the parties' agreement, MediVision will repurchase the Shares at the issue
price eleven weeks after the closing if the shares have not been previously sold
