PART I
 
Business
 
Ophthalmic Imaging Systems (the “Company,” “OIS,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of California on July 14, 1986. We are headquartered in Sacramento, California and engaged in the business of designing, developing, manufacturing and marketing digital imaging systems and informatics solutions. Since our inception, we have developed products that primarily addressed the needs of the ophthalmic angiography markets, both fluorescein and indocyanine green. The current flagship products in our angiography line are our WinStation digital imaging systems and EyeScan systems. These systems are targeted primarily at retinal specialists and general ophthalmologists for use in the diagnosis and treatment of retinal diseases and other ocular pathologies.  OIS also provides PACS (“Picture Archiving and Communication Systems”) and Electronic Medical Records (“EMR”) and Practice Management (“PM”) software to such eye-care providers. In addition, though our wholly-owned subsidiary Abraxas Medical Solutions Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Abraxas”) we provide EMR and PM to the following ambulatory-care specialties: obstetrics/gynecology (“OB/GYN”), orthopedics and primary care.
 
Our objective is to become a leading provider of a diverse range of complimentary ophthalmic products and services for the ocular healthcare industry. We are currently focusing our development efforts on products for the ocular healthcare market, as well as features and enhancements to our existing products. We are also applying our technology in the ophthalmic imaging field toward the development of new ocular imaging devices and exploration of telemedicine/managed care applications targeted at the general ophthalmology and optometry markets.  We believe that as the U.S. healthcare system moves toward managed care, the needs of managed care providers are changing the nature of demand for medical imaging equipment and services. New opportunities in telemedicine (the electronic delivery and provision of health care and consultative services to patients through integrated health information systems and telecommunications technologies), combined with lower cost imaging devices and systems, are emerging to assist physicians and managed care organizations in delivering high quality patient care while reducing costs.
 
During 2004, we entered the Ophthalmic PACS software market. PACS enables medical staff to access new and archived images remotely, thus, improving the method in which to diagnose patients. The ability to instantaneously share information between locations allows specialists to manage more patients in separate locations quickly and efficiently. The PACS system can be completely integrated with our customers’ existing infrastructure, including image acquisition, image analysis, short and long-term storage, archiving, disaster recovery, viewing and monitoring. The current flagship product in our PACS product line is our SymphonyTM software.
 
In January 2008, we acquired the rights to EMR and PM Software as developed by AcerMed, Inc. (“AcerMed”).  Our EMR and PM Software were designed to automate the clinical, administrative, and financial operations of a medical office. This means that paper charting can be virtually eliminated and clinical charting would be done using, for example, a wireless computer pen tablet at the point of care.
 
On October 21, 2009, we purchased substantially all the assets of MediVision, Medical Imaging Limited, formerly our parent Company (the “MediVision Asset Purchase”).  (For additional details of the MediVision Asset Purchase, see Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, Note 6. Related party transactions, MediVision Asset Purchase).  Such assets included certain European operations as conducted by CCS Pawlowski GmbH, a branch office in Belgium, agreements under which MediVision contracted with third parties for distribution and other services, and rights to intellectual property.  This acquisition will provide OIS with access to new customers and regional control over operations in the European market.  In addition, we hired most of MediVision’s R&D employees in early 2009 and moved them to our offices in the United States and Israel.
 
In November 2009, OIS EyeScan received FDA 510(k) clearance.  OIS EyeScan is a portable imaging device that enables practices to capture images of both the anterior and posterior segment of the eye.  OIS EyeScan diversifies our product portfolio by adding a low cost product with more functionality than our existing image capture solutions.

Products
 
OIS Products
 
WinStationTM Systems
 
Our WinStation systems and products, categorized by resolution, are primarily used by retina specialists and general ophthalmologists to capture color images of the retina and to perform a diagnostic procedure known as fluorescein angiography. This procedure is used to diagnose and monitor pathology and provide important information in making treatment decisions. Fluorescein angiography is performed by injecting a fluorescent dye into the bloodstream. As the dye circulates through the blood vessels of the eye, the WinStation system, connected to a medical image capture device called a fundus camera, takes detailed images of the patient’s retina. These digital images provide a “road map” for treatment.
 
Over the past 40 years, fluorescein angiography has been performed using photographic film, which requires special processing and printing. Currently fundus cameras offer an option for integration with a digital imaging system. Our digital WinStation systems allow for immediate diagnosis and treatment of the patient. Images are automatically transferred to a database and permanently stored and archived. We also offer a variety of networking and printer options.
 
Our WinStation systems are also used by ophthalmologists to perform indocyanine green (“ICG”) angiography. ICG angiography is a diagnostic test procedure used for patients with Age-related Macular Degeneration, a leading cause of blindness afflicting over 8 million people in the United States. ICG angiography, used for approximately 5% of patient angiography, is a dye procedure that can only be performed using a digital imaging system such as our WinStation Systems.
 
Digital Slit Lamp Imager (DSLI) and WinStation for Slit Lamps
 
DSLI and WinStation for Slit Lamps are used by a majority of eye care practitioners, including most ophthalmologists and optometrists, with an emphasis on imaging the front of the eye. Slit lamps are imaging devices used in virtually all ophthalmic and optometric practices. The DSLI adapts to most slit lamp models and is capable of real-time video capture, database management and archiving.
 
OIS EyeScan
 
The OIS EyeScan is a portable imaging device that enables practices to capture images of both the anterior and posterior segment of the eye.  The OIS EyeScan captures live video and 5.3 megapixel images from the following imaging modules: Color Retina, Fluorescein Angiography, Optic Nerve Head Stereo Imaging, Red Reflex Imaging Module, Corneal Fluorescence, Tear Film Analysis.
 
Symphony and Symphony Web
 
Symphony and Symphony Web are our Ophthalmic PACS products. The OIS Symphony Image Management System automatically imports images and diagnostic reports from the diagnostic devices within the practice into a single system.  OIS Symphony System allows patient images and diagnostic reports captured from different devices to be viewed side-by-side on one screen with reviewing tools that are proprietary to OIS.
 
OIS Symphony Web enables OIS to deliver all of the OIS Symphony functionality to a web-based client.
 
OIS EMR and OIS PM
 
With OIS’ ophthalmic EMR solution, practices can make the transition to a paperless office using software that manages all aspects of the practice.  OIS EMR and OIS PM were created using a single software platform and database. OIS EMR/PM solution enables users to move back and forth between various applications with a single click and for information to be natively present in each application, eliminating duplicate entry or lost data.

Abraxas Products
 
Abraxas’ proprietary software uses the latest technology to automate the workflow of a medical practice consisting of clinical, financial and administrative tasks, all using a single database. Abraxas’ software modules include:
 
Abraxas EMR
 
EMR can be populated with Clinical Pathways that are specific to a particular medical specialty. Following these Clinical Pathways, documenting a patient encounter can be as easy as "point and click" on a wireless touch-tablet computer. Alternatively, voice recognition, handwriting, handwriting recognition or typing can be used for charting. Clinicians can have access to the patient's prior chart notes, test results, clinical information, medical images and other information. They can write electronic prescriptions or electronically enter orders for radiology, lab work and other procedures. Certain lab results will come back to the system electronically and populate patients’ data. This eliminates the hassle of finding, pulling, carrying, filing and often times losing traditional paper charts.
 
Abraxas PM
 
Various codes for differing types of office visits are recommended based on the documentation and charges generated at the time of charting, therefore, data entry for billing purposes can be eliminated. PM allows for preprocessing of claims and editing for American National Standards Institute (ANSI) compliance prior to submission to minimize payer rejections. This results in quicker turnover of accounts receivable and, thus, a more efficient collections process which, in turn, may improve cash flow. Staff members can review detailed management and financial reports and access on-screen accounts receivable reports with filtering based on a wide range of criteria. These filters allow for identification of problem accounts.
 
Abraxas Scheduling
 
Patient and resource scheduling is also available and built around the needs of busy practices. This software allows users to view on-screen the schedules of one or multiple physicians at any time, reserve time frames for specific appointment reasons and color code them for on-screen identification, and keep track of patients’ scheduling history.
 
Markets
 
Having reviewed various third party sources, including reports by the National Physician’s Census and data provided by the American Osteopathic Association, we believe there are approximately 18,000 ophthalmologists in the United States and approximately 28,000 ophthalmologists practicing medicine in our target countries outside the United States. This group has been traditionally divided into two major groups: anterior segment (front of the eye) and posterior segment (back of the eye). Within these groups there are several sub-specialties including medical retina, retina and vitreous, glaucoma, neurology, plastics, pediatric, cataract, cornea and refractive surgery. There are also approximately 35,000 practicing optometrists in the United States.
 
WinStation and Symphony
 
The WinStation market consists of current fundus camera owners and potential purchasers of fundus cameras suitable for interfacing with our digital imaging system products. We believe there are now over 9,000 fundus cameras in clinical use in the United States and an additional 12,000 in the international market. It is estimated that new fundus camera sales fluctuate between approximately 800 and 1,200 units per year, worldwide, at an average per unit selling price of approximately $24,000 for a non-integrated unit. Of total cameras worldwide, including new and previously owned, a significant number are suitable to be interfaced with our digital imaging systems.
 
Currently, we know of 5 manufacturers of fundus cameras. These manufacturers produce a total of 24 models, 8 current and 16 legacy models for each of which we have designed optical and electronic interfaces.

The Symphony and Symphony Web products are marketed to the same target market as WinStation customers.
 
OIS EyeScan
 
The OIS EyeScan system is targeted primarily at eye care professionals that want to capture images digitally on anterior (front) and posterior (back) of the eye. As described above, we believe that there are approximately 18,000 eye care specialist in the United States and approximately 28,000 eye care specialist practicing medicine in our target countries outside the United States. In addition, there are also approximately 35,000 practicing optometrists in the United States. We currently know of 3 manufacturers of imaging systems which are similar to the EyeScan
 
EMR and PM Software
 
The primary target market for OIS EMR and PM software is ophthalmologists with various specialties, as described above, numbering approximately 18,000 in the United States.
 
In order to increase our research and development and marketing effectiveness, Abraxas focuses primarily on the following types of office based physicians: obstetrics and gynecology, and orthopedic. Having reviewed various third-party sources, including reports by the National Physician's Census, we believe there are approximately 35,000 office-based obstetrics and gynecology physicians, and approximately 19,000 office-based orthopedic physicians in the United States. Abraxas' secondary market is primary care of which there are approximately 235,000 office-based primary care physicians in the United States as reported by the National Physician's Census.
 
EMR software is used to automate the clinical workflow of medical offices and PM software is used to automate the financial and administrative tasks of medical offices. Medical practices in the United States began automating their practice management decades ago. By the late 1990’s, PM software had become widely accepted. The market for EMR, on the other hand, has started to increase as a result of various financial incentives and governmental forces.
 
Currently, the EMR industry has no dominant leader. It includes both large publicly traded companies and small privately held companies.
 
OIS Sales, Marketing and Distribution
 
We utilize a direct and indirect sales force to distribute our products throughout the United States, Europe, and various other countries. As of December 31, 2009, our U.S. sales and marketing organization consisted of two distribution channels. The first is an ophthalmology channel that reports to the VP of Sales for North America and is comprised of Sales Managers, Technical Support Specialists and Product Specialists, among others, who are located throughout the United States.  These employees provide marketing, sales, maintenance, installation and training services.  The second channel is dedicated to Optometry sales and consists of various Sales Managers, among others.  Each of the two channels is supported by inside sales representatives that are outsourced from well-known providers of sales outsourcing, whose function it is to drive broader penetration into both markets.   In Europe we have several sales representatives and product specialists.  These employees provide marketing, sales, maintenance, installation and training services.

OIS Manufacturing and Production
 
We are primarily a systems integrator with proprietary software, optical interfaces and electronic fundus camera interfaces. The manufacturing of certain components are subcontracted to outside vendors and assembled by OIS. We use outside vendors to minimize production time and reduce capital requirements. We store and assemble the manufactured components in our 13,552 square foot facility located in Sacramento, California.
 
We have been audited by the Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) as recently as May 2007 and there were no findings made. We also have Form 510(k)‘s, a pre-marketing notification filed with the FDA which provides certain safety and effectiveness information, on file for our digital angiography products.
 
Abraxas’ Operations
 
Abraxas is a software developer that operates in its 4,883 square foot facility located in Irvine, California.
 
OIS Components, Raw Materials and Suppliers
 
As a systems integrator, a significant number of the major hardware components in our products are procured from sole source vendors. Whenever possible, however, we seek multiple vendors from which to procure our components. Moreover, we work closely with our principal component suppliers, such as Dell Computer, MegaVision, Canon and our other vendors to maintain dependable working relationships and to continually integrate into the manufacturing of our products, whenever feasible, the most current, proven, pertinent technologies. But, as with any manufacturing concern dependent on subcontractors and component suppliers, significant delays in receiving products or unexpected vendor price increases could adversely affect our business.
 
OIS Warranties
 
We generally provide a 12-month limited warranty for parts, labor and shipping charges in connection with the sale of our hardware products. Peripheral products such as monitors, printers and computers also carry the original manufacturer’s warranty.
 
In the North American market, in order to ensure quality control and the proper functioning of our products on-site at a doctor’s office, we generally install the system and train the doctor and the doctor’s staff for a fee. Customers are not required to purchase such services in connection with the purchase of our products. We also offer service plans for sale to our customers as a supplement to the original manufacturer’s warranties.
 
OIS Competition
 
The healthcare industry is characterized by extensive research and development efforts and rapid technological change. Competition for products that can diagnose and evaluate eye disease is intense and expected to increase.
 
With respect to our WinStation products, we are aware of two primary competitors in the United States, which produce and deliver digital fundus imaging systems in volume, Topcon and Zeiss. In addition, there are a few other small competitors. Both Topcon and Zeiss, however, manufacture fundus cameras and produce angiography products that interface mostly with their own fundus cameras. In contrast, our products interface with different models of fundus cameras from a wide variety of manufacturers. Three other companies are known to have systems primarily in the international market, and the U.S. market to a limited extent, each with a small market share.
 
 
6

 
We are aware of five primary competitors for the DSLI, namely Veatch, MVC, Kowa, Helioasis and Lombart. Additionally, there are several other companies, which manufacture similar systems, but these systems currently have minimal market presence.
 
We are aware of three primary competitors for the EyeScan imaging capturing system, namely Zeiss, Topcon and Kowa.
 
We are aware of two primary competitors for the Ophthalmic PACS that develop similar solutions.
 
OIS does not consider many of the companies currently offering some type of EMR or PM products as competitors, as they sell to hospitals and to certain medical specialties that are not in OIS’ current target market. OIS is aware of some competitors for its EMR and PM products in ophthalmology, primarily NextGen, which provide solutions for the multi-specialty medical market, and a few smaller competitors, primarily HCIT, Eye Doc and Compulink, which provide the EMR and or PM solutions predominantly to the ocular healthcare market.
 
Although we continue to work to develop new and improved products, many companies are engaged in research and development of new devices and alternative methods to diagnose and evaluate eye disease. Introduction of such devices and alternative methods could hinder our ability to compete effectively and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Many of our competitors and potential competitors have substantially greater financial, manufacturing, marketing, distribution and technical resources than us.
 
Abraxas Competition
 
Abraxas does not consider many of the companies currently offering some type of EMR or PM products as competitors, as they sell to hospitals, large clinics, surgery centers and other facilities, and to certain medical specialties that are not in Abraxas’ current target market. Abraxas is aware of some competitors for its EMR and PM products, primarily Allscripts/Misys Healthcare Systems, Sage Software, and NextGen, which provide solutions for the multi-specialty medical market. Others, mainly Digi-Chart and Greenway provide the EMR and PM solutions predominantly to the obstetrics and gynecology market, while other companies specialize in the orthopedic market or the primary care market.
 
The acquisition of EMR, PM and Scheduling has allowed us to broaden our product offerings to the primary care, obstetrics and gynecology, and orthopedic. However there is no guarantee that our sales efforts will be successful. Additional research and development efforts, long sales cycles, new sales training requirements and potential resistance to the initial high cost of the EMR, PM or Scheduling software may hinder our success in selling these products.
 
OIS Europe Competition
 
We are aware of 3 primary competitors for market share in Europe, namely Zeiss, Topcon and, Canon. Additionally, there are several other companies, which manufacture similar systems, but these systems currently have minimal market presence.
 
CCS Sales and Competition
 
We are aware of 5 primary competitors for market share in Germany, namely Zeiss, Topcon, Scholz, Canon, Imedos. Additionally, there are several other companies, which manufacture similar systems, but these systems currently have minimal market presence.

During 2009, OIS focused our recent research and development efforts on new digital image capture products. Our net research and development expenditures in the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, excluding our subsidiaries, were approximately $1,956,000 and $2,219,000, respectively. In 2008, we capitalized $504,711 of the costs associated with the development of web-based software.
 
Prior to July 2009, MediVision performed our research and development services whereby MediVision billed us, on a monthly basis, at cost plus 12%. These research and development services included direct labor, consultants’ fees, travel expenses and the applicable portion of general and administrative expenses.  During the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, we paid approximately $294,000 and $1,888,000, respectively, to MediVision for research and development services.
 
In 2009, we hired all of MediVision’s research and development staff and moved them to our offices in the United States and Israel, thereby streamlining our research and development efforts. Prior to this, MediVision and other outsourced consultants conducted most of our research and development.  (See Item 1. Business, OIS Sales, Marketing and Distribution.).
 
Abraxas Research and Development
 
Abraxas’ research and development team is located in Irvine, California. Abraxas continues to focus its research and development efforts on the adaptation of its software to the target market as described above. Our net research and development expenditures in the years ending December 31, 2009 and 2008 were approximately $1,073,000 and $0 respectively. In 2008, we capitalized $1,721,000 of the costs associated with the development of our EMR software. During the first three months of 2009, we began to sell this software and amortize these costs.
 
Abraxas also capitalized the EMR, PM and Scheduling software it acquired from AcerMed.
 
Patents, Trademarks and Other Intellectual Property
 
On June 15, 1993, we were issued United States Letters Patent No. 5,220,360 for "Apparatus and Method for Topographical Analysis of the Retina." This patent relates to the Glaucoma-ScopeR apparatus, and methods used by the apparatus for topographically mapping the retina and comparing the mapping to previous mappings.
 
We currently have patent applications outstanding with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and for the European patent authorities under PCT treaty for “A Device, Method and System for Automatic Montage of Segmented Retinal Images” and a “Method for Stabilizing a Sequence Angiographic Images” and for an “Integrated retinal imager and method.”
 
We have registered trademarks for “AutoMontage,” “OIS Symphony,” “Ophthalmology Office” and “IRI.”
 
We have copyrights for “WinStation Version 5,” “WinStation Version 6” and “WinStation XP, Version 10.”
 
In 2007, we entered into a licensing agreement pursuant to which we were granted the right to commercialize background technology and a family of patents for an ocular imaging device, integrate it into our existing and/or future products and retain exclusive rights of use, marketing and sale thereof worldwide.
 
Further, although we believe that our products do not and will not infringe on patents or violate proprietary rights of others, it is possible that our existing rights may not be valid or that infringement of existing or future patents, trademarks or proprietary rights may occur or be claimed to occur by third parties.

In the event that any of our products infringe patents, trademarks or proprietary rights of others, we may be required to modify the design of such products, change the names under which the products or services are provided or obtain licenses. There can be no assurance that we will be able to do so in a timely manner, upon acceptable terms and conditions, or at all. The failure to do any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our business. There can be no assurance that our patents or trademarks, if granted, would be upheld if challenged or that competitors might not develop similar or superior processes or products outside the protection of any patents issued to us. In addition, there can be no assurance that we will have the financial or other resources necessary to enforce or defend a patent or trademark infringement or proprietary rights violation action. Moreover, if our products infringe patents, trademarks or proprietary rights of others, we could, under certain circumstances, become liable for damages, which also could have a material adverse effect on our business.
 
We also rely on trade secrets, know-how, continuing technological innovation and other unpatented proprietary technology to maintain our competitive position. Certain of the proprietary software, optical interfaces and synchronization modules of our digital imaging systems are largely proprietary and constitute trade secrets, but the basic computer hardware and video components are purchased from third parties. No patent applications have been filed with respect thereto. If challenged, we anticipate aggressively defending our unpatented proprietary technology, although there is no assurance that others will not independently develop substantially equivalent proprietary information or techniques, or otherwise gain access to our trade secrets or disclose such technology, or that we can meaningfully protect our rights to our unpatented trade secrets and other proprietary technology.
 
We seek to protect our unpatented proprietary technology, in part, through proprietary confidentiality and nondisclosure agreements with employees, consultants and other parties. Our confidentiality agreements with our employees and consultants generally contain standard industry provisions requiring such individuals to assign to us, without additional consideration, any inventions conceived or reduced to practice by them while employed or retained by OIS, subject to customary exceptions. There can be no assurance, however, that proprietary information agreements with employees, consultants and others will not be breached, that we will have adequate remedies for any breach or that our trade secrets will not otherwise become known to or independently developed by competitors.
 
Government Regulation
 
The marketing and sale of our products are subject to certain domestic and foreign governmental regulations and approvals. Pursuant to Section 510(k) of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (“FDCA”), we are required to file, and have submitted, a pre-marketing notification with the FDA which provides certain safety and effectiveness information concerning our diagnostic imaging systems. The FDA has approved our pre-marketing notification submittals, thereby granting us permission to market our products, subject to the general controls and provisions of the FDCA. The classification of our products require, among other things, annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practices, labeling and prohibition against misbranding and adulteration. Further, because we are engaged in international sales, our products must satisfy certain manufacturing requirements and may subject us to various filing and other regulatory requirements imposed by foreign governments as a condition to the sale of such products.
 
We have registered our manufacturing facility with both the FDA and certain California authorities as a medical device manufacturer and operate such facility under FDA and California requirements concerning Quality System Requirements (“QSR”). As a medical device manufacturer, we are required to continuously maintain our QSR compliance status and to demonstrate such compliance during periodic FDA and California inspections. If the facilities do not meet applicable QSR regulatory requirements, we may be required to implement changes necessary to comply with such regulations.
 
Although the FDA has made findings which permit us to sell our products in the marketplace, such findings do not constitute FDA approval of these devices and we cannot predict the effect that future legislation or regulatory developments may have on our operations. Additional regulations, reconsideration of approvals granted under current regulations, or a change in the manner in which existing statutes and regulations are interpreted or applied may have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Moreover, new products and services developed by us, if any, may also be subject to the same or other various federal and state regulations, in addition to those of the FDA.

An FDA inspection of our Sacramento, California facility was conducted in May 2007. There were no findings during the inspection.
 
A California Department of Health inspection of our Sacramento, California facility was conducted in August 2009.  There were 3 violations found during the inspection.  A corrective action plan was implemented to correct those issues and no further action was taken by the Department of Health.
 
Under the recently approved stimulus package, The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, physicians who implement a certified EMR software program and become meaningful users between 2010 and 2012 will each be eligible for $44,000 in incentive payments and physicians who become meaningful users between 2012 and 2014 will be eligible for lower payments.  Physicians who have not become meaningful users by 2014 will not qualify for any payments. In addition, beginning in 2016, Medicare reimbursement will begin to decrease for clinics that do not meet the above criteria. We anticipate this legislation will have positive effects on our revenues as physicians adopt EMR software programs at higher rates than they do currently. We expect to see this positive trend begin in mid-2010 and beyond.
 
Insurance
 
We maintain general commercial casualty and property insurance coverage for our business operations, as well as directors and officers insurance and product liability insurance. During 2009, we did not receive any product liability claims and are unaware of any threatened or pending claims. To the extent that product liability claims are made against us in the future, such claims may have a material adverse impact on our business.
 
Employees
 
As of December 31, 2009, we have 98 employees, 3 of whom are part-time. 54 of our employees are employed by OIS and 27 of our employees are employed by Abraxas. We also engage the services of consultants from time to time to assist us on specific projects in the areas of research and development, software development, regulatory affairs and product services, as well as general corporate administration. Certain of these consultants periodically sub-contract engineers as independent consultants for specific projects.
 
We have no collective bargaining agreements covering any of our employees.  In addition, we have never experienced any material labor disruption and we are unaware of any current efforts or plans to organize our employees. We consider our relationship with our employees to be good.
 
Risk Factors
 
Current economic conditions may adversely affect our industry, business, financial position and results of operations and could cause the market value of our common stock to decline.
 
The global economy is currently undergoing a period of unprecedented volatility and the future economic environment may continue to be less favorable than that of recent years. It is uncertain how long the economic downturn that the U.S. economy has entered will last. The economic downturn has resulted in, and could lead to, further reduced spending specifically related to physicians’ equipment and software. Our products require a large initial outlay of funds, which physicians in the current economic climate are hesitant to do. Also, the credit markets are currently experiencing unprecedented contraction. If current pressures on credit continue or worsen, future debt financing may not be available to us when required or may not be available on acceptable terms, and as a result we may be unable to grow our business, take advantage of business opportunities, respond to competitive pressures or satisfy our obligations under our indebtedness.

If we are unable to obtain additional capital, we may be required to eliminate certain operations.
 
Our operations require substantial funds for, among other things, continuing research and development and manufacturing and marketing of our existing products. We may need to seek additional capital, possibly through public or private sales of our securities in order to fund our operations. However, we may not be able to obtain additional funding in sufficient amounts or on acceptable terms when needed. Insufficient funds may require us to delay, scale back or eliminate certain or all of our research and development programs or license from third parties products or technologies that we would otherwise seek to develop ourselves. Any of these may adversely affect our continued operations.
 
If we fail to develop and successfully introduce new and enhanced products that address rapid technological changes in our markets and meet the needs of our customers, our business may be harmed.
 
Our industry is characterized by extensive research and development, rapid technological change, frequent innovations and new product introductions, changes in customer requirements and evolving industry standards. Demand for our products could be significantly diminished by new technologies or products that replace them or render them obsolete, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
Our future success depends on our ability to anticipate our customers’ needs and develop products that address those needs. This will require us to design, develop, manufacture, assemble, test, market and support new products and enhancements on a timely and cost-effective basis. We have incurred substantial research and development expenditures in the past and plan to continue to do so in the future. Over the last three fiscal years, our research and development expenses have been in the range of 18% to 21% of our net revenues. Although we have spent considerable resources on research and development, we may still be unable to introduce new products or, if we do introduce a new product, such product or products may not achieve sufficient market acceptance. Failure to successfully identify new product opportunities and develop and bring new products to market in a timely and cost effective manner may lead to a reduction in sales and adversely affect our business.
 
The markets in which we sell our products are intensely competitive and increased competition could cause reduced sales levels, reduced gross margins or loss of market share.
 
Competition for products that diagnose and evaluate eye disease is intense and is expected to increase. Although we continue to work on developing new and improved products, many companies are engaged in research and development of new devices and alternative methods to diagnose and evaluate eye disease. Many of our competitors and potential competitors have substantially greater financial, manufacturing, marketing, distribution and technical resources than us. Any business combinations or mergers among our competitors, forming larger competitors with greater resources, or the acquisition of a competitor by a major medical or technology corporation seeking to enter this business, could result in increased competition. Introduction of new devices and alternative methods could hinder our ability to compete effectively and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
We may experience a decline in the selling prices of our products as competition increases, which could adversely affect our operating results.
 
As competing products become more widely available, the average selling price of our products may decrease. Trends toward managed care, health care, cost containment and other changes in government and private sector initiatives in the United States and other countries in which we do business are placing increased emphasis on the delivery of more cost-effective medical therapies which could adversely affect prices of our products. If we are unable to offset the anticipated decrease in our average selling prices by increasing our sales volumes, our net sales will decline. To compete we must continue to reduce the cost of our products. Further, as average selling prices of our current products decline, we must develop and introduce new products and product enhancements with higher margins. If we cannot maintain our net sales and gross margins, our operating results could be seriously harmed, particularly if the average selling prices of our products decreases significantly.
 
 
11

 
Our products are subject to U.S., E.U. and international medical regulations and controls, which impose substantial financial costs on us and which can prevent or delay the introduction of new products.
 
Our ability to sell our products is subject to various federal, state and international rules and regulations. In the United States, we are subject to inspection and market surveillance by the FDA, to determine compliance with regulatory requirements. The regulatory process is costly, lengthy and uncertain. Any delays in obtaining or failure to obtain regulatory approval of any of our products could cause a loss of sales or incurrence of additional expenses, which could adversely affect our business.
 
The purchase of AcerMed software and the formation of Abraxas may not generate any significant future revenue for us.
 
In January 2008, we purchased substantially all of the assets of AcerMed, Inc., a leading software developer for Electronic Medical Records (EMR) and Practice Management software. Through the acquisition, we gained the rights to software applications that automate the clinical, administrative, and the financial operations of a medical office. Due to the acquisition of Abraxas, NextGen Healthcare Information Systems, Inc., a supplier of EMR and PM software, chose to discontinue its relationship with OIS. Long sales cycles, new sales training requirements and potential resistance to the initial high cost of the software may be among the factors contributing to us not being successful in selling these products.
 
The purchase of substantially all the assets of MediVision may not generate any significant future revenue for us.
 
On October 21, 2009 we purchased substantially all the assets of MediVision. Such assets included the European operations which consisted of MediVision’s business as conducted by CCS Pawlowski GmbH, its branch office in Belgium, certain agreements under which MediVision contracted with third parties for distribution and other services, and rights to intellectual property which resulted from MediVision’s research and development activities performed in Israel.  We may experience difficulty integrating MediVision’s operations with our own and we may have challenges in achieving strategic objectives and other benefits expected from the MediVision Asset Purchase.  Such difficulties may divert our attention and resources from our operations and other initiatives, potentially impair the acquired assets or result in the potential loss of key employees of MediVision.
 
Our international sales are a growing portion of our business; accordingly, we may increasingly become subject to the risks of doing business in foreign countries.
 
Our international business exposes us to certain unique and potentially greater risks than our domestic business and our exposure to such risks may increase if our international business continues to grow, as we anticipate. Our international business is sensitive to changes in the priorities and budgets of international customers, which may be driven by changes in worldwide economic conditions and regional and local economic factors.
 
Our international sales are also subject to local government laws and regulations and practices which may differ from U.S. Government regulation, including regulations relating to import-export control, investments, exchange controls and varying currency and economic risks.  We are also exposed to risks associated with using foreign representatives and consultants for international sales and operations and teaming with international consultants and partners in connection with international operations. As a result of these factors, we could incur losses on such operations which could negatively impact our results of operations and financial condition.
 
We depend on skilled personnel to effectively operate our business in a rapidly changing market, and if we are unable to retain existing or hire additional personnel, our ability to develop and sell our products could be harmed.
 

 
12

 

Our success depends to a significant extent upon the continued service of our key senior management, sales and technical personnel, any of whom could be difficult to replace. Competition for qualified employees is intense, and our business could be adversely affected by the loss of the services of any of our existing key personnel. We cannot assure that we will continue to be successful in hiring and retaining properly trained personnel. Our inability to attract, retain, motivate and train qualified new personnel could have a material adverse effect on our business.
 
We may not be able to protect our proprietary technology, which could adversely affect our competitive advantage.
 
We rely on a combination of patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret laws, non-disclosure and confidentiality agreements and other restrictions on disclosure to protect our intellectual property rights. We cannot assure that our patent applications will be approved, any patents that may be issued will protect our intellectual property, any issued patents will not be challenged by third parties or any patents held by us will not be found by a judicial authority to be invalid or unenforceable. Other parties may independently develop similar or competing technology or design around any patents that may be issued to or held by us. We cannot be certain that the steps we have taken will prevent the misappropriation of our intellectual property, particularly in foreign countries where the laws may not protect our proprietary rights as fully as in the United States. Moreover, if we lose any key personnel, we may not be able to prevent the unauthorized disclosure or use of our technical knowledge or other trade secrets by those former employees.
 
The long sales cycles for our products may cause us to incur significant expenses without offsetting revenues.
 
Customers typically expend significant effort in evaluating, testing and qualifying our products before making a decision to purchase them, resulting in a lengthy initial sales cycle. While our customers are evaluating our products we may incur substantial sales, marketing and research and development expenses to customize our products to the customer’s needs. We may also expend significant management efforts, increase manufacturing capacity and order long-lead-time components or materials. Even after this evaluation process, a potential customer may not purchase our products. As a result, these long sales cycles may cause us to incur significant expenses without ever receiving revenue to offset those expenses.
 
If we fail to accurately forecast components and materials requirements for our products, we could incur additional costs and significant delays in shipments, which could result in the loss of customers.
 
We must accurately predict both the demand for our products and the lead times required to obtain the necessary components and materials. Lead times for components and materials that we order vary significantly and depend on factors including the specific supplier requirements, the size of the order, contract terms and current market demand for components. If we overestimate our component and material requirements, we may have excess inventory, which would increase our costs, impair our available liquidity and could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition. If we underestimate our component and material requirements, we may have inadequate inventory, which could interrupt and delay delivery of our products to our customers. Any of these occurrences would negatively impact our net sales, business and operating results and could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.
 
Our dependence on sole source suppliers exposes us to possible supply interruptions that could delay or prevent the manufacture of our systems.
 
Certain of the components used in our products are purchased from single sources. While we believe that most of these components are available from alternate sources, an interruption of these or other supplies could have a material adverse effect on our ability to manufacture some of our systems.
 
Some of our medical customers’ willingness to purchase our products depends on their ability to obtain reimbursement for medical procedures using our products and our revenues could suffer from changes in third-party coverage and reimbursement policies.
 
 
13

 
Our medical segment customers include doctors, clinics, hospitals and other health care providers whose willingness and ability to purchase our products depends in part upon their ability to obtain reimbursement for medical procedures using our products from third-party payers, including private insurance companies, and in the U.S. from health maintenance organizations, and federal, state and local government programs, including Medicare and Medicaid. Third-party payers are increasingly scrutinizing health care costs submitted for reimbursement and may deny coverage and reimbursement for the medical procedures made possible by our products. Failure by our customers to obtain adequate reimbursement from third-party payers for medical procedures that use our products or changes in third-party coverage and reimbursement policies could have a material adverse effect on our sales, results of operations and financial condition.
 
We have limited product liability insurance and if we are held liable in a products liability lawsuit for amounts in excess of our insurance coverage, we could be rendered insolvent.
 
There can be no assurance that we will not be named as a defendant in any litigation arising from the use of our products. Although we have our own product liability insurance policy with a limit of $4 million, should such litigation ensue and we are held liable for amounts in excess of such insurance coverage, we could be rendered insolvent. In addition, there can be no assurance that product liability insurance will continue to be available to us or that the premiums therefore will not become prohibitively expensive.
 
If our facilities were to experience a catastrophic loss, our operations would be seriously harmed.
 
Our facilities could be subject to a catastrophic loss such as fire, flood or earthquake. A substantial portion of our manufacturing activities and many other critical business operations are located near major earthquake faults in California, an area with a history of seismic events. Our corporate headquarters is also in a possible flood zone. Any such losses at our facilities could disrupt our operations, delay production, shipments and revenue and result in large expenses to repair or replace the facility. Any such loss could have a material adverse effect on our sales, results of operations and financial condition.
 
Any failure to meet our debt obligations could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
As of December 31, 2009, we had debt outstanding of $3,130,227 consisting of $1,338,001 in outstanding loans from institutional investors, $1,650,000 in bank notes, and $142,226 of notes for capital leases and auto loans. If our cash flow and capital resources are insufficient to fund our debt obligations, we may be forced to sell assets, seek additional equity or debt capital or restructure our debt. In addition, any failure to make scheduled payments of interest and principal on our outstanding indebtedness would likely harm our ability to incur additional indebtedness on acceptable terms. Our cash flow and capital resources may be insufficient to pay interest and principal on our debt in the future. If that should occur, our capital raising or debt restructuring measures may be unsuccessful or inadequate to meet our scheduled debt service obligations, which could cause us to default on our obligations and further impair our liquidity.
 
Risks Related to Our Common Stock
 
We may experience volatility in our stock price, which could negatively affect your investment, and you may not be able to resell your shares at or above the offering price.
 
The market price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly in response to a number of factors, some of which are beyond our control, including: quarterly variations in operating results; changes in financial estimates by securities analysts; changes in market valuations of other similar companies; announcements by us or our competitors of new products or of significant technical innovations, contracts, acquisitions, strategic partnerships or joint ventures; additions or departures of key personnel; any deviations in net sales or in losses from levels expected by securities analysts; and future sales of common stock.
 
 
14

 
In addition, the stock market has recently experienced extreme volatility that has often been unrelated to the performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may cause our stock price to fall regardless of our financial performance.
 
Because our securities trade on the OTC Bulletin Board, your ability to sell your shares in the secondary market may be limited.
 
The shares of our common stock have been listed and principally quoted on the Nasdaq OTC Bulletin Board under the trading symbol “OISI” since May 28, 1998. As a result, it may be more difficult for an investor to dispose of OIS’ securities or to obtain accurate quotations on their market value. Furthermore, the prices for OIS’ securities may be lower than might otherwise be obtained.
 
Moreover, because OIS’ securities currently trade on the OTC Bulletin Board, they are subject to the rules promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers that sell securities governed by these rules to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors” (generally, individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual individual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouses). For such transactions, the broker-dealer must determine whether persons that are not established customers or accredited investors qualify under the rule for purchasing such securities and must receive that person’s written consent to the transaction prior to sale. Consequently, these rules may adversely affect the ability of purchasers to sell OIS’ securities and otherwise affect the trading market in OIS’ securities.
 
Because OIS’ shares are deemed “penny stocks,” you may have difficulty selling them in the secondary trading market.
 
The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted regulations which generally define a “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price (as therein defined) less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Additionally, if the equity security is not registered or authorized on a national securities exchange that makes certain reports available, the equity security may also constitute a “penny stock.” As OIS’ common stock falls within the definition of penny stock, these regulations require the delivery by the broker-dealer, prior to any transaction involving OIS’ common stock, of a risk disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated with it. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and any salesperson in the transaction, and monthly account statements indicating the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. In addition, the penny stock rules require that, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for OIS’ common stock. The ability of broker-dealers to sell OIS’ common stock and the ability of shareholders to sell OIS’ common stock in the secondary market would be limited. As a result, the market liquidity for OIS’ common stock would be severely and adversely affected. OIS can provide no assurance that trading in OIS’ common stock will not be subject to these or other regulations in the future, which would negatively affect the market for OIS’ common stock.
 
OIS has additional securities available for issuance, including preferred stock, which if issued could adversely affect the rights of the holders of OIS’ common stock.
 
OIS’ articles of incorporation authorize the issuance of 100,000,000 shares of common stock and 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock. The common stock and the preferred stock can generally be issued as determined by OIS’ board of directors without shareholder approval.
 
Any issuance of preferred stock could adversely affect the rights of the holders of common stock by, among other things, establishing preferential dividends, liquidation rights or voting powers. Accordingly, shareholders will be dependent upon the judgment of OIS’ management in connection with the future issuance and sale of shares of OIS’ common stock and preferred stock, in the event that buyers can be found therefor. Any future issuances of common stock or preferred stock would further dilute the percentage ownership of OIS held by the public shareholders. Furthermore, the issuance of preferred stock could be used to discourage or prevent efforts to acquire control of OIS through acquisition of shares of common stock.

Legal Proceedings
 
On May 11, 2007, we filed a civil action in the Superior Court of California for the County of Sacramento against our former president Steven Verdooner. We subsequently moved for and were granted an order amending the complaint to add claims against defendants Opko Health, Inc. and the Frost Group, LLC. The complaint against Mr. Verdooner alleged claims of, among other things, breach of fiduciary duty, intentional interference with contract, and intentional interference with prospective economic advantage, and it also alleged claims against Opko Health and the Frost Group, of interference and with aiding and abetting Mr. Verdooner’s interference and breach of his fiduciary duty.
 
On May 3, 2009, we entered into a Confidential Settlement and Mutual Release Agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) by and between us, Steven Verdooner, OPKO Health, Inc. and The Frost Group, LLC (collectively “Defendants”).
 
Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, we agreed to dismiss, with prejudice, the lawsuit between us and the Defendants.  We also agreed to release the Defendants from any claims that could have been brought in the foregoing lawsuit, whether known or unknown.  The Defendants paid us the full amount of the settlement of $1,200,000 on May 13, 2009.
 
We and the Defendants entered into the Settlement Agreement to avoid the expense and uncertainty of litigation and without making any admission of liability or concession of wrongdoing.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
We make forward-looking statements in this report, in other materials we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) or otherwise release to the public, and on our website. In addition, our senior management might make forward-looking statements orally to analysts, investors, the media and others. Statements concerning our future operations, prospects, strategies, financial condition, future economic performance (including growth and earnings) and demand for our products and services, and other statements of our plans, beliefs, or expectations, including the statements contained in this Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation,” regarding our future plans, strategies and expectations are forward-looking statements. In some cases these statements are identifiable through the use of words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “project,” “target,” “can,” “could,” “may,” “should,” “will,” “would” and similar expressions.  You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements because these forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to various assumptions, risks, and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested by these forward-looking statements. Thus, our ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors which could have a material adverse effect on our operations and future prospects include, but are not limited to, changes in: economic conditions generally and the medical instruments market specifically, legislative or regulatory changes that affect our business, including changes in healthcare regulation, the availability of working capital, the introduction of competing products, and other risk factors described herein. These risks and uncertainties, together with the other risks described from time -to -time in reports and documents that we filed with the SEC should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. Indeed, it is likely that some of our assumptions will prove to be incorrect. Our actual results and financial position will vary from those projected or implied in the forward-looking statements and the variances may be material. We expressly disclaim any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

Overview
 
To date, we have designed, developed, manufactured and marketed ophthalmic digital imaging systems and informatics solutions and have derived substantially all of our revenues from the sale of such products. The primary target market for our digital angiography systems and informatics solutions has been retinal specialists and general ophthalmologists. In January 2008, we purchased EMR, PM and scheduling software to be sold to the following ambulatory-care specialties: ophthalmology, OB/GYN, orthopedics and primary care.
 
There can be no assurance that we will be able to achieve or sustain significant positive cash flows, revenues or profitability in the future.
 
2009 Highlights
 
MediVision Asset Purchase
 
On October 21, 2009, we purchased substantially all the assets of MediVision. Such assets included the European operations which consisted of MediVision’s business as conducted by CCS Pawlowski GmbH, its branch office in Belgium, certain agreements under which MediVision contracted with third parties for distribution and other services, and rights to intellectual property which resulted from MediVision’s research and development activities performed in Israel. This acquisition will provide OIS with access to new customers and regional control over operations in the European market.  In early 2009, we also hired MediVision’s R&D staff and moved them to our offices in the United States and Israel. This transition will increase the efficiency of our research and development efforts and help us reduce our costs.
 
 
AccelMed Stock Purchase
 
On June 24, 2009, U.M. AccelMed, Limited Partnership, an Israeli limited partnership (“AccelMed”), became our largest shareholder with 9,633,228 shares of our common stock or 36.4%.  AccelMed acquired these shares on June 24, 2009 pursuant to a Purchase Agreement between us and AccelMed. Under the Purchase Agreement, we authorized the issuance and sale of up to an aggregate of 13,214,317 shares of our common stock and warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 4,404,772 shares of our common stock in two installments. On the date of the Purchase Agreement, we completed the first installment (the “1st Installment”), under which issued to AccelMed 9,633,228 shares and a warrant to purchase up to 3,211,076 shares for an aggregate purchase price of $3,999,972.  The 1st Installment warrant is exercisable at $1.00 per share and expires on June 24, 2012. For the 2nd installment, we agreed to issue 3,581,089 shares of common stock and a warrant to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,193,696 shares of common stock, for an aggregate purchase price of $1,999,967. Subject to certain conditions, including, without limitation, the achievement of certain financial milestones, the completion of the 2nd Installment will occur within 14 days of the date of our filing with the SEC our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 or on a later date as may be agreed to in writing by the parties. If certain conditions are not met, the 2nd installment is optional. The funds from the first installment provided OIS with capital resources which will allow us to expand our operations and fund research and development and marketing.

FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-06, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures.
 
In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Update No. 2010-06, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures, to improve disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. The amendments in this Update will require new disclosures related to the transfer in and out of Level 1 and 2, and require that a reporting company present Level 3 activity on a gross basis rather than one net number. In addition, the amendments in this Update clarify existing disclosures related to the level of disaggregation and disclosures about inputs and valuation techniques.  Update No. 2010-06 will be effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact of Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-06 on our consolidated financial results.
 
FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-04, Accounting for Various Topics, Technical Corrections to SEC Paragraphs.
 
In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Update No. 2010-4, Accounting for Various Topics, Technical Corrections to SEC Paragraphs, to update SEC staff announcements for codification references. The adoption of Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-04 will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
 
FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-01, Accounting for Distributions to Shareholders with Components of Stock and Cash.
 
In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Update No. 2010-01, Accounting for Distributions to Shareholders with Components of Stock and Cash, to clarify the accounting for a distribution to shareholders that offers the ability to elect to receive their entire distribution in cash or shares. Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-06 will be effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact of Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-01 on our consolidated financial results.
 
FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-14, Certain Revenue Arrangements That Include Software Elements, a Consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force.
 
In October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-14, Certain Revenue Arrangements That Include Software Elements, a Consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force, to amend guidance used to allocate and measure revenues by an enterprise that sells or leases tangible products in an arrangement that contains software that is more than incidental to the tangible product as a whole. The amendments in the Update require that hardware components of a tangible product containing software elements always be excluded from the software revenue guidance. The Update provides additional guidance on how to determine which software, if any, related to the tangible products also would be excluded from the scope of the software revenue guidance. Update No. 2009-14 will be effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact of Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-14 on our consolidated financial results.
 
FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-13, Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements, a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force.
 
In October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-13, Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements, a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force, to amend guidance which establishes a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable in a multiple-deliverable revenue arrangement. The amendments in this Update also will replace the term fair value in the revenue allocation guidance with selling price to clarify that the allocation of revenues is based on entity-specific assumptions rather than assumptions of marketplace participation.  In addition, the amendment revises certain disclosure requirements.  Update No. 2009-13 will be effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact of Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-14 on our consolidated financial results.

FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-01, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.
 
In October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-01, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, to amend the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for the issuance of the FASB Statement No. 168, FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The FASB Accounting Standards Codification will become the source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) recognized by the FASB. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. On its effective date, the Codification will supersede all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other nongrandfathered non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification will become nonauthoritative. The adoption of Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-01 will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
 
FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 855, Subsequent Events.
 
On June 30, 2009, we adopted Topic 855, Subsequent Events which is generally based on Financial Accounting Standard 165, Subsequent Events, which establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. Specifically, Topic 855 sets forth the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements, and the disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. The adoption of Topic 855 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
 
FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 810, Consolidation, Subtopic 10 Overall, Section 65, Transition Related to FASB Statement No. 160 Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Financial Statements – an amendment to ARB No.51.
 
Topic 810, Consolidation, is based on Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 160, Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Financial Statements – an amendment of ARB 51, which we adopted on January 1, 2009. Topic 810, Consolidation, establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. This Topic defines a noncontrolling interest, previously called a minority interest, as the portion of equity in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to a parent. Topic 810, Consolidation, requires, among other things, that a noncontrolling interest be included in the consolidated statement of financial position within equity separate from the parent’s equity, consolidated net income to be reported at amounts inclusive of both the parent’s and noncontrolling interest’s shares and, separately, the amounts of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and noncontrolling interest all on the consolidated statement of operations; and if a subsidiary is deconsolidated, any retained noncontrolling equity investment in the former subsidiary be measured at fair value and a gain or loss be recognized in net income based on such fair value. The adoption of Topic 810, Consolidation, did have a material impact on our consolidated financial results as related to the MediVision Asset Purchase which was completed on October 21, 2009.  (For additional details, see Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, Note 6. Related Party Transactions,, MediVision Asset Purchase.)
 
FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 810, Consolidation.
 
Topic 810 Consolidation, is generally based on Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R), which was issued in June 2009, which among other things requires an enterprise to perform an analysis to determine whether the enterprise’s variable interest(s) give it a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity; to require ongoing reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity; to eliminate the quantitative approach previously required for determining the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity; to add an additional reconsideration event for determining whether an entity is a variable interest entity when any changes in facts and circumstances occur such that holders of the equity investment at risk, as a group, lose the power from voting rights or similar rights of those investments to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance; and, to require enhanced disclosures that will provide users of financial statements with more transparent information about an enterprise’s involvement in a variable interest entity. Topic 810, Consolidation, became effective on January 1, 2010. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact of this Topic on our consolidated Financial Statements.

FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 350, Intangibles -- Goodwill and Other.
 
Topic 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other, is generally based on Financial Staff Position (“FSP) 142-3 Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Asset, which was issued by the FASB in April 2008, which among other things, amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under Topic 350. The intent of the Topic is to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under Topic 350 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset, under Topic 805 Business Combinations which is generally based on SFAS 141R, Business Combinations, and other GAAP principles.  The provisions of Topic 350 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Topic 350 is effective for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2009.  The adoption of Topic 350 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. 
 
FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 805, Business Combinations.
 
Topic 805, Business Combinations, is generally based on Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations, issued by the FASB in December 2007, which among other things, establishes principles and requirements regarding the method in which the acquirer in a business combination (i) recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquired business, (ii) recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase, (iii) determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination, and (iv) requires costs incurred to effect an acquisition to be recognized separately from the acquisition. Topic 805 is effective for all business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after January 1, 2009. Earlier adoption is prohibited. This standard changes the accounting treatment for business combinations on a prospective basis. We believe that the adoption of Topic 805 has had a material impact on our financial position and results of operations as disclosed below.
 
On March 20, 2008, we entered into a definitive merger agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) with MV Acquisitions Ltd., an Israeli company and a wholly-owned subsidiary (the “Merger Sub”), and MediVision, pursuant to which the Merger Sub would have merged with and into MediVision with MediVision as the surviving entity. On March 16, 2009, we entered into a Termination Agreement with MediVision pursuant to which the Merger Agreement was terminated.
 
We capitalized $519,820 and $527,327 in 2008 and 2007, respectively, for a total of $1,047,047 of costs related to the proposed merger with MediVision. In accordance with FASB Topic 805, Business Combinations, we must expense these costs. To comply with Topic 805 we have retroactively calculated our consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2008 and our consolidated statement of operations and consolidated cash flow statements for the year ended December 31, 2008. Our consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2008 and consolidated statement of operations and consolidated cash flow statement for the year ended December 31, 2008 report merger-related costs as expenses for comparative purposes. Beginning in 2009, we have expensed, within general and administrative expenses in our consolidated statement of operations, any new merger-related costs. The pro forma impact of this adjustment to our 2008 consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2008 is $519,720, respectively, as shown below:

Critical Accounting Policies
 
Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principals (“GAAP”). The information contained in the financial statements is primarily financial information based on effects of transactions and events that have already occurred. A variety of factors could affect the ultimate value obtained when earning income, recognizing an expense, recovering an asset or relieving a liability.
 
Management is also required to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In addition, GAAP itself may change from one previously acceptable method to another. Although the economics of our transactions would not change, the timing of the recognition of such events for accounting purposes may change.
 
We re-evaluate our estimates and assumptions that we use in our financial statements on an ongoing and quarterly basis. We adjust these estimates and assumptions as needed and as circumstances change. If circumstances change in the future, we will adjust our estimates and assumptions accordingly. At the present time, we cannot definitively determine whether our assumptions and estimates will change in the future. Based on history, however, it is likely that there will be changes in some of our estimates and assumptions.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
Our revenue recognition policies comply with applicable accounting rules and regulations including FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 985, Software, and Topic 605, Revenue, Subtopic 25 Multiple-Element Arrangements. Under Topic 605, Subtopic 25, the multiple components of our revenue are considered separate units of accounting in that revenue recognition occurs at different points of time for (1) product shipment, (2) installation and training services, and (3) service contracts based on performance or over the contract term as we incur expenses related to the contract revenue.
 
Revenue for products is recognized when title passes to the customer, which is upon shipment, provided there are no conditions to acceptance, including specific acceptance rights. If we make an arrangement that includes specific acceptance rights, revenue is recognized when the specific acceptance rights are met. In addition, consideration received from our customer agreements is fixed and no specific refund rights are included in the arrangement and, thus, such consideration is reliably measurable. We defer 100% of the revenue from sales shipped during the period that we believe may be uncollectible.
 
Installation revenue is recognized when the installation is complete. Separate amounts are charged and assigned in the customer quote, sales order and invoice for installation and training services. These amounts are determined based on fair value, which is calculated in accordance with industry and competitor pricing of similar services and adjustments according to market acceptance. There is no price reduction in the product price if the customer chooses not to have us complete the installation.
 
 
 
24

 
 
Extended product service contracts are offered to our customers and are generally entered into prior to the expiration of our one year product warranty. The revenue generated from these transactions is recognized over the contract period, normally one to four years.
 
We do not have a general policy for cancellation, termination or refunds associated with the sale of our products and services.  All items are on one quote/purchase order with payment terms specified for the whole order.
 
Tax Provision
 
Deferred taxes are calculated using the liability method, whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more-likely-than-not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.
 
We calculate a tax provision quarterly and determine the amount of our deferred tax asset that will more-likely-than-not be used in the future.  In doing so, we determine the amount of our unlimited and capped NOL amounts we will more likely than not be able to use and the deferred tax asset amount related to the temporary differences of our balance sheet accounts.
 
FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic No. 740, Taxes, provides the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company’s financial statements.  Topic No. 740 also prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement standard for the financial statement recognition and measurement of an income tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. In addition, Topic No. 740, provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. We apply FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic No. 740 to all of our tax positions.
 
We do not currently allocate our taxes between us and our subsidiary, Abraxas, due to the immaterial impact of Abraxas on our tax provision.
 
Warranty Reserve
 
Our warranty reserve contains two components, a general product reserve recorded on a per product basis and specific reserves recorded as we become aware of system performance issues. The product reserve is calculated based on a fixed dollar amount per product shipped each quarter.  Specific reserves usually arise from the introduction of new products. When a new product is introduced, we reserve for specific problems arising from potential issues, if any. As issues are resolved, we reduce the specific reserve. These types of issues can cause our warranty reserve to fluctuate outside of sales fluctuations.
 
We estimate the cost of the various warranty services by taking into account the estimated cost of servicing routine warranty claims in the first year, including parts, labor and travel costs for service technicians. We analyze the gross profit margin of our service department, the price of our extended warranty contracts, factor in the hardware costs of the various systems, and use a percentage to calculate the cost per system to use for the first year manufacturer’s warranty.
 
In 2009, the general warranty reserve increased from $67,000 to $98,599 due to the increase in product shipments compared to the amount of replacements, repairs or upgrades performed.
 
In 2008, the general warranty reserve decreased from $128,250 to $67,000 due to the decrease in product shipments and the amount of replacements, repairs or upgrades performed.

Securities Purchase Agreement
 
On June 24, 2009, we entered into a Purchase Agreement AccelMed.  Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, we completed the 1st installment on June 24, 2009, whereby we issued and sold to AccelMed 9,633,228 shares of our common stock and a warrant to purchase up to 3,211,076 shares, at an exercise price of $1.00 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $3,999,972.  This Purchase Agreement required that we deliver shares as part of a physical settlement, thus, we classified this Purchase Agreement as a permanent equity transaction.
 
The 1st Installment was recorded as an increase in cash and equity of $3,999,972.  We treated the warrants issued in the 1st Installment as a reduction to our common stock and an increase to additional paid-in-capital.  (For additional details, see Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, Note 6. Related Party Transactions, U.M. AccelMed, Limited Partnership).
 
Convertible Debt and Warrants
 
On October 29, 2007, we issued convertible notes (the “Notes”) which are convertible into shares of our common stock and warrants (the “Warrants”) to The Tail Wind Fund Ltd. and Solomon Strategic Holdings, Inc. (together with The Tail Wind Fund Ltd., the “Holders”) to purchase an aggregate of 616,671 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $1.87 per share.  These warrants expire on December 10, 2012.
 
On June 24, 2009, we entered into an Extension Agreement (the “Extension Agreement”) by and between us and the Holders.  Pursuant to the Extension Agreement, with respect to the Notes, the Holders agreed to extend the principal payments due thereon for 18 months, such that the next principal payment with respect to the Notes will be due December 31, 2010, and extend the maturity date of the Notes to October 31, 2011.  As consideration for these extensions and waivers, we issued warrants (the “New Warrants”) to the Holders to purchase an aggregate of 500,000 shares of our common stock.  These New Warrants have an exercise price of $1 per share and expire on June 24, 2012. Pursuant to certain anti-dilution provisions in the Notes and Warrants, which were triggered as a result of the sale of securities under the Purchase Agreement with AccelMed, the conversion and exercise prices changed from $1.64 to $1.1375 per share for the Notes and $1.87 to $1.2970 per share for the Warrants.  Based on these changes, the Holders may receive up to an additional 431,700 and 272,421 shares of common stock under the Notes and Warrants, respectively. On March 18, 2010 the Holders converted $150,000 of the Convertible Notes principle balance into 131,868 shares of our common stock. Additionally, on March 24, 2010 the Holders converted $100,000 of the principal balance on the Convertible Note into 87,912 shares of our common stock. (For additional details, see Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, Note. 5. Notes Payable.)
 
On October 23, 2009, in connection with the assumption of the United Mizrahi loan, we issued to United Mizrahi Bank a warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase 350,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 which will expire upon the earlier of October 23, 2012 or twelve months following the completion of (1) a primary public offering of our common stock (a “Public Offering”) or (2) (a) the sale of all or substantially all of our assets or (b) the merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another entity, pursuant to which 50% of the Company’s outstanding common stock is held by person(s) who prior to the transaction held, in aggregate, less than 5% (together, a “Liquidity Event,” and together with a Public Offering, an “Exit Event”); provided however, if the underwriter in a Public Offering or the purchasing person(s) in a Liquidity Event require that all our outstanding warrants and options, including the Warrant be exercised prior to or part of the Public Offering or Liquidity Event, as applicable, then the Warrant will terminate, subject to certain notice requirements, upon completion of such transaction.
 
 
The exercise price of the Warrant is $1.00, subject to the happening of certain events, including, but not limited to, the payment of a stock dividend or a stock split.  The Warrant also includes certain anti-dilution provisions if we issue or sell any equity securities or securities convertible into equity, options or rights to purchase equity securities at a per share selling price less than the exercise price, then the exercise price will be adjusted pursuant to a weighted-average formula. (For additional details, see Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, Note 6. Related Party Transactions, Warrant to United Mizrahi Bank).
 

 
26

 
There were 4,950,168 warrants outstanding and exercisable as of December 31, 2009 with a weighted average remaining contractual life of 2.6 years, a weighted average exercise price of $1.05.  There is no intrinsic value of warrants outstanding at December 31, 2009. (For additional details, see Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, Note. 11. Warrants)
 
Software Capitalization
 
In 2008, we capitalized our EMR and PM software that we acquired from AcerMed through the bankruptcy court.  This software was purchased with the intention that it would be sold, leased or marketed upon modification by our research and development team to our customers. The amount that we capitalized for this software was $570,077.  During the first three months of 2009, we began to sell this software and we began to amortize this asset using the straight-line method of amortization over the economic life of the asset, which we concluded to be three years.  Our EMR and PM software was amortized during the year ended December 31, 2009 by $190,024.
 
We also capitalized the development costs incurred to prepare this software for sale. Development costs were capitalized once technological feasibility was established. We determined that the software was technologically feasible because we had worked with a model/prototype that had been in the market before our acquisition. The amount of development that we capitalized in connection with this software is $1,150,831.  During the first three months of 2009, we began to sell this software and we began to amortize this asset using the straight-line method of amortization over the economic life of the asset, which we concluded to be three years.  The amount of this asset that was amortized during the year ended December 31, 2009 was $383,612.
 
In 2008, we also capitalized $504,711 of costs associated with the development of a web-based software once technological feasibility was established. During the first three months of 2009, we began to sell this software and so, we began to amortize this asset using the straight-line method of amortization over the economic life of the asset, which we concluded to be three years.  The amount of this asset that was amortized during the year ended December 31, 2009 was $168,236.
 
Principles of Consolidation
 
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of OIS, Abraxas Medical Solutions, Inc., a Delaware, corporation (“Abraxas”), the 63% investment in CCS Pawlowski GmbH (“CCS”) a German Corporation, OIS Europe, a Belgian based branch of OIS, and OIS Global, an Israel based subsidiary of OIS. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
Foreign currencies
 
The Consolidated Financial Statements are presented in the reporting currency of Ophthalmic Imaging Systems, U.S. Dollars (“USD”). The functional currency for the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, OIS Europe and our 63% investment in CCS, is the European Union Euro (€).    Accordingly, the balance sheet of OIS Europe and CCS is translated into USD using the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated using the average exchange rates in effect during the period. Translation differences are recorded directly in shareholders’ equity as “foreign currency translation adjustment.” Gains or losses on transactions denominated in a currency other than the subsidiaries’ functional currency which arise as a result of changes in foreign exchange rates are recorded in the statement of operations. The statement of cash flows reflects the reporting currency equivalent of foreign currency cash flows using the exchange rates in effect at the time of the cash flow.
 
Segment Reporting
 
Our business consists of two operating segments: OIS and Abraxas, our wholly-owned subsidiary.  Our management reviews Abraxas’ results of operation separately from that of OIS. Our operating results for Abraxas exclude income taxes. The provision for income taxes is calculated on a consolidated basis, and accordingly, is not presented by segment. It is excluded from the measure of segment profitability as reviewed by our management. CCS does not meet the materiality requirements for segment reporting, and accordingly, CCS’ financial information is reported as Other in the following table.
 
 
27

 
We evaluate our reporting segments in accordance with According to FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 280, Segment Reporting. Our Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) has been determined as the Chief Operating Decision Maker as defined by Topic 280. The CFO allocates resources to Abraxas based on its business prospects, competitive factors, net sales and operating results.
 
All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Comparison of Year Ended December 31, 2009 to Year Ended December 31, 2008
 
Revenues
 
Our revenues for the year ended December 31, 2009 were $13,569,300 representing an increase of $1,078,183 or 9% as compared to revenues of $12,491,117 for the year ended December 31, 2008. The increase in revenues for 2009 resulted from an increase in total product sales of $1,055,767 and service sales of $22,416.  The increase in product sales is due to EMR/PM product revenue of $1,638,926, product revenue from our new subsidiaries, CCS and OIS Europe of $128,155, Symphony revenue of $501,800, offset by a decrease in WinStation revenue of $1,213,114.  The increase in service sales of $22,416 is due to an increase in service revenue from Abraxas of $84,074, service revenue for the fourth quarter of our new subsidiaries, CCS and OIS Europe of $22,323, offset by a decrease in service revenue from our WinStation and Symphony product line of $83,981.
 
Digital angiography systems and EMR and PM products accounted for approximately 73% and 71% of our total revenues during 2009 and 2008, respectively. Service revenue for the years ended 2009 and 2008 accounted for approximately 27% and 29% of our total revenues for the years ended 2009 and 2008, respectively.
 
Gross Margins
 
Gross margins remained flat at 54% during fiscal 2009 and 2008, respectively. We anticipate that our gross margins will increase if our product sales grow to cover our fixed personnel costs.
 
Sales and Marketing Expenses
 
Sales and marketing expenses accounted for 30% and 32% of revenues during fiscal 2009 and 2008, respectively. Sales and marketing expenses were $4,124,480 during fiscal 2009, representing an increase of $89,664 or 2% compared to sales and marketing expenses of $4,034,816 in fiscal 2008. The increase in sales and marketing expense was primarily the result of expansion of the sales and marketing department during the year.
 
General and Administrative Expenses
 
General and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues remained flat at 17% during fiscal 2009 and 2008, respectively. Expenses were $2,255,389 during fiscal 2009, representing an increase of $185,177 or 9% compared to expenses of $2,070,212 during fiscal 2008. The increase is primarily due to an increase of bad debt expense related to customers of approximately $239,000, an increase of general and administrative expenses related to the acquisition of the CCS and OIS Europe operations of approximately $62,000, offset by a decrease in legal expenses of approximately $493,000.
 
Impairment related to the debt of MediVision of $4,436,187 during fiscal 2009 was comprised of accounts receivable and notes receivable from MediVision of $450,000 and $3,152,379, respectively, $560,000 in prepaid assets for funds advanced to MediVision in anticipation of the completion of the Electro-optical Unit and $273,808 that we paid to MediVision for exclusivity rights to sell the Electro-optical Unit in the U.S.  Based upon revised estimates and the timing of the shifting of business focus from the Electro-optical Unit to other products through the end of 2010, management decided to impair the aggregate balance of intercompany indebtedness from MediVision.
 
Research and Development Expenses
 
Research and development expenses accounted for 21% of revenues during fiscal 2009 and 18% during fiscal 2008. Expenses were $2,853,492 during 2009, representing an increase of $633,832 or 29% compared to expenses of $2,219,660 during 2008. The increase in research and development is due to the capitalization of $1,150,831 of research and development expenses performed by Abraxas during fiscal 2008 offset by the decrease in research and development performed by MediVision of $439,168 and Abraxas of $77,831 during fiscal 2009.

Other Income (Expense), net
 
Other income (expense) was $860,918 during 2009 compared to $(84,922) during 2008. The increase of $945,840 in other income was primarily due to a legal settlement between OIS and a former employee of $1,200,000 offset by an increase in interest expense of $70,474 from the convertible notes outstanding, combined with a decrease in interest income of $171,436 resulting from reduction of interest earned on notes receivable which were impaired during 2009.

In 2009, we determined that it is not more-likely-than-not that we will be able to use any of our deferred tax asset in the future. We analyzed our operating results from 2008, 2009, and projected operating results for 2010, combined with the downward turn in the economy, and determined that it is not more-likely-than-not that we will be able to use our deferred tax asset in the future. 
 
The Company’s effective tax rate for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 was 0% and (112%), see Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, Note 9. Income Taxes, for the reconciliation of the statutory rate to the effective tax rate.
 
Net Loss
 
We reported a net loss of $5,476,885 or $0.25 basic loss per share during 2009 compared to net loss of $2,985,524 or $0.18 basic loss per share during 2008.

Revenues from sales to customers located outside of the United States accounted for approximately 9% and 7% of our net sales for 2009 and 2008, respectively.
 
Comparison of Year Ended December 31, 2008 to Year Ended December 31, 2007
 
Revenues
 
Our revenues for the year ended December 31, 2008 were $12,491,117 representing a decrease of $1,997,927 or 14% as compared to revenues of $14,489,044 for the year ended December 31, 2007. The decreased revenues for 2008 resulted from decreased product sales of $2,644,447, including installation, offset by increased service revenues of $646,520. The decrease in product sales is primarily due to the decrease of our main WinStation systems and installation of approximately $1,927,000. Digital angiography systems and EMR and PM products accounted for approximately 71% and 79% of our total revenues during 2008 and 2007, respectively. The decrease in our product sales is primarily due to personnel changes in our sales and marketing departments and, more recently, changes in the global economy. Service revenue for the years ended 2008 and 2007 accounted for approximately 29% and 21% of our total revenues for the years ended 2008 and 2007, respectively. The increased service revenue is primarily due to the increase in our extended service contracts due to an increase in our customer base and more customers understanding the benefits of purchasing extended warranty contracts. Our remaining service revenue which has remained constant consists of non-warranty repairs and parts, and technical support phone billings for customers not under warranty.
 
 
 
32

 
 
Gross Margins
 
Gross margins decreased to 54% from 57% in fiscal 2008 versus 2007, respectively, primarily due to the decrease in sales of our EMR and PM products which have related fixed direct labor costs. We anticipate that our gross margins will increase if our product sales grow to cover the fixed personnel costs.
 
Sales and Marketing Expenses
 
Sales and marketing expenses accounted for 29% and 24% of revenues during fiscal 2008 and 2007, respectively. Sales and marketing expenses were $4,034,816 during fiscal 2008, representing an increase of $539,890 or 15% compared to sales and marketing expenses of $3,494,926 in fiscal 2007. The increase in sales and marketing expenses were primarily the result of filling vacant sales positions during the year in OIS of approximately $178,000, the addition of Abraxas sales and marketing expenses of $438,000, offset by restructuring of the marketing department at OIS of ($66,000).
 
General and Administrative Expenses
 
General and administrative expenses accounted for 17% and 15% of revenues in fiscal 2008 and 2007, respectively. Expenses were $2,070,212 during fiscal 2008, representing a decrease of $141,866 or 6% compared to expenses of $2,212,078 during fiscal 2007. The decrease is primarily due to an increase in the general and administrative allocation of OIS to other departments of approximately $154,000, a decrease in OIS bonus expense related to writing off of executive bonuses that were accrued in 2007 but not approved for payment in 2008 of $143,000, a decrease in investor relations and business development expenses of approximately $101,000, offset by an increase in legal expenses of approximately $132,000 and the addition of Abraxas’ general and administrative expenses of $166,000.
 
Research and Development Expenses
 
Research and development expenses accounted for 18% of revenues during fiscal 2008 and 11% during fiscal 2007. Expenses were $2,219,660 during 2008, representing an increase of $588,440 or 36% compared to expenses of $1,631,220 during 2007. This increase was due to the increase in our research and development efforts on new digital image capture products. In the future, we expect our research and development expenditures to increase with the addition of Abraxas’s research and development expenses to be offset by a reduction in the research and development expenses subcontracted from MediVision and other consultants. In 2008 and 2007, outside consultants and MediVision conducted most of our research and development.
 
Other Income (Expense), net
 
Other expense was ($84,922) during 2008 compared to other income of $141,104 during 2007. The increase of $226,026 in other expense was primarily due to an increase of interest expense of $92,628 from the convertible notes outstanding, combined with a decrease in interest income of $98,638 resulting from a combination of a decrease of our cash balance and a decrease in interest rates. (For details of the convertible notes, see Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, Note 5. Notes Payable.

In 2008, we determined that we will not more-likely-than-not be able to use any of our deferred tax asset in the future. We analyzed our operating results from 2007, 2008 and projected operating results for 2009, combined with the downward turn in the economy and results of our largest annual tradeshow in the fourth quarter of 2008 and determined that it is not more-likely-than-not that we will be able to use our deferred tax asset in the future.  In 2007, we determined that we will use $2,334,000 of capped net operating losses in the future and projected taxable income in 2008. In 2007, we did not have enough information to determine whether we would use the remaining net operating losses of $539,855. We had no net operating loss carryforward for California state income tax purposes at December 31, 2007.
 
At December 31, 2008 and 2007, management reviewed recent operating results and projected future operating results, as well as the current conditions in the global economy and medical industry. On each of these dates, management determined whether it was more-likely-than-not that a portion of the deferred tax assets attributable to net operating losses would be realized. For a description of our analysis in determining our deferred tax asset, see “Critical Accounting Policies, Tax Provision” above.
 
Due to changes in ownership which occurred in prior years, Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, provides for significant limitations on the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards and tax credits. As a result of these limitations, a portion of these loss and credit carryovers may expire without being utilized.
 
Net (Loss) Income
 
We reported a net loss of ($2,985,524) or ($0.18) basic loss per share during 2008 compared to net income of $1,025,289 or $0.06 basic earnings per share during 2007.
 
Export Sales
 
Revenues from sales to customers located outside of the United States accounted for approximately 7% and 5% of our net sales for 2008 and 2007, respectively.
 
Balance Sheet
 
Our assets increased by $412,668 as of December 31, 2009 as compared to the December 31, 2008. This increase was primarily due to a increase in cash and equivalents of $3,181,614 as a result of the sale and issuance of our securities to AccelMed, an increase in accounts receivable of $1,012,894 as a result of an increase in sales, an increase in assets associated with businesses acquired of $1,500,000, offset by a decrease in notes and accounts receivable from related parties of $2,878,234 and $500,365, a decrease of licensing agreements and prepaid products associated with related parties of $273,808 and $560,000, a decrease in inventory of $215,408 due to higher sales than expected at the end of the year, amortization of prepaid financing fees of $66,585 and the amortization of capitalized  software development and research and development of $741,872.
 
Our liabilities increased by $1,418,359 mainly due to the $1,500,000 loan assumed in connection with the MediVision Asset Purchase which was completed during 2009.
 
 
 
34

 
 
Our stockholders’ equity decreased by $1,005,692 primarily due to the net loss from fiscal 2009 of ($5,476,885), offset by the net proceeds of the AccelMed stock purchase of $3,552,599, the increase in additional paid-in capital of $419,644 related to the warrants from the stock purchase and debt financing, an increase of $464,489 of noncontrolling interest related to the MediVision Asset Purchase.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
The Company maintains a $150,000 line of credit agreement with Wells Fargo Bank. The line is secured by a pledged deposit with the bank totaling $158,213 at December 31, 2009. Advances on the line bear interest at prime (3.25% at December 31, 2009) with interest due monthly. As of December 31, 2009 we borrowed $150,000 against the line of credit. The line matures on May 10, 2011.
 
Our operating activities used cash of $60,243 during 2009 as compared to $739,822 during 2008. The cash used by operations in 2009 was primarily due to the net loss of ($5,485,396), offset by the non-cash write-off of MediVision notes receivables of $3,152,042, related party receivable of $500,365, prepaid products of $560,000, the amortization of capitalize software of $168,236, the amortization of software licenses of $573,635, and  the change in customer deposits of $463,782.
 
Net cash used in investing activities was $1,368,474 during 2009 versus $4,016,871 during 2008. Our primary investing activities in 2009 consisted of costs related to the acquisition of substantially all the assets of MediVision, net of cash acquired, of $1,708,523 and capital asset acquisitions of $132,951, offset by the acquisition of the noncontrolling interests related to the MediVision acquisition of $473,000.
 
Cash provided by financing activities was $4,608,090 during 2009 as compared to cash used in financing activities of $648,966 during 2008. The cash provided by financing activities during 2009 was primarily from proceeds of $1,500,000 from new borrowings, $3,999,972 from the proceeds of sale of stock, offset by $732,984 of principal payments on notes receivable, and stock issuance costs of $158,898.
 
On December 31, 2009, our cash and cash equivalents were $5,406,239. Management anticipates that additional sources of capital beyond those currently available to it may be required to continue funding of research and development for new products and selling and marketing related expenses for existing products.
 
We will continue to evaluate alternative sources of capital to meet our cash requirements, including other asset or debt financing, issuing equity securities and entering into other financing arrangements. There can be no assurance, however, that any of the contemplated financing arrangements described herein will be available and can be obtained on terms favorable to us.
 
Seasonality
 
Our most effective marketing tool is the demonstration and display of our products at the annual meeting of the American Academy of Ophthalmology held during the fall of each year. A significant amount of our sales orders are generated during or shortly after this meeting. Accordingly, we expend a considerable amount of time and resources during the fourth quarter of our fiscal year preparing for this event.
 
Trends
 
The current recession in the United States has negatively impacted our sales revenue in 2009 and 2008 and may continue to do so in 2010. Our sales have been affected by the physicians’ hesitation to purchase capital equipment in the current economic climate. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (“ARRA”) may have a positive impact on the sales of our EMR/PM products.  Other than this, we are unaware of any known trends, events or uncertainties that have or are reasonably likely to have a material impact on our financial condition, results from operations, or short or long-term liquidity.

OPHTHALMIC IMAGING SYSTEMS
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.            SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Ophthalmic Imaging Systems (the “Company,” “OIS,” “we,” “us” or “our”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of California on July 14, 1986. We are headquartered in Sacramento, California and are engaged in the business of designing, developing, manufacturing and marketing digital imaging systems, image enhancement and analysis software and informatics solutions for use by practitioners in the ocular health field. Our products are used for a variety of standard diagnostic test procedures performed in most eye care practices.
 
Principals of Consolidation
 
In January 2008, the Company, through Abraxas Medical Solutions, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary (“Abraxas”), purchased substantially all of the assets of AcerMed, Inc., a leading software developer for Electronic Medical Records (EMR) and Practice Management (PM) software.
 
On October 21, 2009, the Company completed its Asset Purchase transaction with MediVision to purchase substantially all the assets of MediVision, which was completed on October 21, 2009. Such assets include the European operations which consisted of MediVision’s business as conducted by CCS Pawlowski GmbH (“CCS”) and its branch office in Belgium (the “OIS Europe”). Accordingly, the Company began consolidating the results of operations of CCS and OIS Europe as of October 21, 2009.
 
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of OIS, Abraxas, the 63% investment in CCS, OIS Europe, and OIS Global. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
Foreign currencies
 
The consolidated financial statements are presented in the reporting currency of Ophthalmic Imaging Systems, U.S. Dollars (“USD”). The functional currency for the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, OIS Europe and its 63% investment in CCS, is the European Union Euro (€).    Accordingly, the balance sheet of OIS Europe and CCS is translated into USD using the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated using the average exchange rates in effect during the period. Translation differences are recorded directly in shareholders’ equity as “Foreign currency translation adjustment.” Gains or losses on transactions denominated in a currency other than the subsidiaries’ functional currency which arise as a result of changes in foreign exchange rates are recorded in the statement of operations. The statement of cash flows reflects the reporting currency equivalent of foreign currency cash flows using the exchange rates in effect at the time of the cash flow.
 
Segment Reporting
 
Our business consists of two operating segments: OIS and Abraxas, our wholly-owned subsidiary.  Our management reviews Abraxas’ results of operation separately from that of OIS. Our operating results for Abraxas exclude income taxes. The provision for income taxes is calculated on a consolidated basis, and accordingly, is not presented by segment. It is excluded from the measure of segment profitability as reviewed by our management. CCS does not meet the materiality requirements for segment reporting, and accordingly, CCS’ financial information is reported as Other in the following table.

Use of Estimates
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Change in Rebate Estimates
 
Our rebate program provides customers with an incentive to purchase system upgrades. When purchasing an upgrade, we provide the customer with a discount upon receipt of the old system. Typically, customers pay for the upgrade net of the discount and the old system is returned to us.
 
The quote/purchase order the customer signs includes a line item for the rebate discount, which is then calculated into the net total. The quote specifically states that the old system must be received within 30 days from the completion of the installation of the upgrade for the customer to receive the discount. We then bill the customer for the full amount. At this point we record the gross sale amount and reserve for the rebate portion of the sale.  If a customer pays the full amount and the old system has not been returned yet, we assume that the customer will return the old system and record the rebate portion of the payment in a deposit liability account. If the customer pays the net amount and the old system has not been returned, we continue to bill the customer for the rebate portion until the old system is returned or the rest of the amount due is paid.
 
When 30 days have elapsed from the date the upgrade has been installed and the old system has not been received, we contact the customer and ask what the customer intends to do with the old system. If the customer intends to return the system, we continue to record the reserve. If the customer disposed of the system or intends to keep the system or contact cannot be made, we bill the customer for the full price of the upgrade system and stop reserving for the rebate credit. Until then, we continue to reserve for the rebate until we receive payment for the full price of the upgrade or the old system. These arrangements are not pervasive with our customers. If the old system is not returned, we stop reserving for the rebate portion. If the old system in not returned and we have received the full invoice amount, we remove the rebate portion of the payment out of the deposit liability account and apply it to the sale. At this point we stop reserving for the rebate.
 
If the old system is returned, we remove the rebate portion from the reserve account and reduce the accounts receivable.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less as cash equivalents.
 
At December 31, 2009, the Company had deposits with carrying amounts of $5,406,239 including bank balances of $5,421,704. Federally insured balances totaled $926,354 and uninsured balances totaled $4,495,350 at December 31, 2009.

1.           SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
 
Concentrations of Credit Risk and Export Sales
 
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of temporary cash investments and trade receivables. The Company places its temporary cash investments with high quality financial institutions. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade receivables are limited due to the Company’s policy of requiring deposits from customers, the number of customers we have and their geographic dispersion. The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses and such losses have historically been within management’s expectations. No single customer comprised 10% or more of net sales during the years ended December 31, 2009 or 2008.
 
Revenues from sales to customers located outside of the United States accounted for approximately 9% and 7% of net sales during the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
 
Inventories
 
Inventories, which consist primarily of purchased system parts, subassemblies and assembled systems, are stated at the lower of cost (determined using the first-in, first-out method) or market.
 
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
 
The Company generally offers customer terms of 50% deposit paid up-front, remaining 50%, less installation portion, net 15 days after shipment of product, and the installation portion after installation is complete. The allowance for doubtful accounts balance is estimated based on historical experience and any specific customer/installation issues that have been identified. The Company periodically assesses the adequacy of its recorded allowance for doubtful accounts, and adjusts the balance as necessary.
 
Changes in the allowance for doubtful accounts were as follows:
 
Allowance at January 1, 2008
  $ 204,664  
Provision
    69,177  
Bad debt
    (63,695 )
         
Allowance at December 31, 2008
    210,146

    425,598  
Bad debt
    (200,795 )
         
Allowance at December 31, 2009
  $ 434,949  

Furniture and Equipment
 
Furniture and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated or amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives generally range from three to seven years. The Company evaluates furniture and equipment for financial impairment as events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be fully recoverable.

Software Capitalization
 
In 2008, we capitalized our EMR and PM software that we acquired from AcerMed through the bankruptcy court.  This software was purchased with the intention that it would be sold, leased or marketed upon modification by our research and development team to our customers. The amount that we capitalized for this software was $570,077.  During the first three months of 2009, we began to sell this software and we began to amortize this asset using the straight-line method of amortization over the economic life of the asset, which we concluded to be three years.  Amortization expense related to these assets was $190,024 for the year ended December 31, 2009.
 
We also capitalized the development costs incurred to prepare this software for sale. Development costs were capitalized once technological feasibility was established. We believe that the software was technologically feasible when we began to capitalize the costs because we had worked with a model/prototype that had been in the market before our acquisition. The amount of development that we capitalized in connection with this software is $1,150,831.  During the first three months of 2009, we began to sell this software, and we began to amortize this asset using the straight-line method of amortization over the economic life of the asset, which we concluded to be three years. Amortization expense related to this asset was $383,612 for the year ended December 31, 2009.
 
In 2008, we also capitalized $504,711 of costs associated with the development of a web-based software once technological feasibility was established. During the first three months of 2009, we began to sell this software and we began to amortize this asset using the straight-line method of amortization over the economic life of the asset, which we concluded to be three years.  Amortization expense related to this asset was $168,236 for the year ended December 31, 2009.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
Our revenue recognition policies comply with applicable accounting rules and regulations including FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 985, Software, and Topic 605, Revenue, and Subtopic 25, Multiple-Element Arrangements. Under Topic 605, Subtopic 25, the multiple components of our revenue are considered separate units of accounting in that revenue recognition occurs at different points of time for (1) product shipment, (2) installation and training services, and (3) service contracts based on performance or over the contract term as we incur expenses related to the contract revenue.
 
Revenue for products is recognized when title passes to the customer, which is upon shipment, provided there are no conditions to acceptance, including specific acceptance rights. If we make an arrangement that includes specific acceptance rights, revenue is recognized when the specific acceptance rights are met. In addition, consideration received from our customer agreements are reliably measurable because the amount of the consideration is fixed and no specific refund rights are included in the arrangement and, thus, such consideration is reliably measurable. We defer 100% of the revenue from sales shipped during the period that we believe may be uncollectible.
 
Installation revenue is recognized when the installation is complete. Separate amounts are charged and assigned in the customer quote, sales order and invoice, for installation and training services. These amounts are determined based on fair value, which is calculated in accordance with industry and competitor pricing of similar services and adjustments according to market acceptance. There is no price reduction in the product price if the customer chooses not to have us complete the installation.
 
Extended product service contracts are offered to our customers and are generally entered into prior to the expiration of our one year product warranty. The revenue generated from these transactions is recognized over the contract period, normally one to four years.

1.            SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
 
We do not have a general policy for cancellation, termination, or refunds associated with the sale of its products and services.  All items are on one quote/purchase order with payment terms specified for the whole order.
 
Warranty Reserve
 
Our warranty reserve contains two components, a general product reserve recorded on a per product basis and specific reserves recorded as we become aware of system performance issues. The product reserve is calculated based on a fixed dollar amount per product shipped each quarter.  Specific reserves usually arise from the introduction of new products. When a new product is introduced, we reserve for specific problems arising from potential issues, if any. As issues are resolved, we reduce the specific reserve. These types of issues can cause our warranty reserve to fluctuate outside of sales fluctuations.
 
We estimate the cost of the various warranty services by taking into account the estimated cost of servicing routine warranty claims in the first year, including parts, labor and travel costs for service technicians. We analyze the gross profit margin of our service department, the price of our extended warranty contracts, factor in the hardware costs of the various systems, and use a percentage to calculate the cost per system to use for the first year manufacturer’s warranty.
 
Shipping and Handling Costs
 
Shipping and handling costs are included with cost of sales.
 
Advertising Costs
 
Advertising expenditures totaled $114,301 and $58,485, for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
 
Income Taxes
 
Deferred taxes are calculated using the liability method, whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more-likely-than-not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.
 
We calculate a tax provision quarterly and determine the amount of our deferred tax asset that will more-likely-than-not be used in the future.  In doing so, we determine the amount of our unlimited and capped NOL amounts we will more likely than not be able to use, and the deferred tax asset amount related to the temporary differences of our balance sheet accounts.
 
FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic No. 740, Taxes, provides the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company’s financial statements.  Topic No. 740 also prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement standard for the financial statement recognition and measurement of an income tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. In addition, Topic No. 740 provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. We apply Topic No. 740 to all of our tax positions.

1.            SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
 
We do not currently allocate our taxes between us and our subsidiary, Abraxas, due to the immaterial impact of Abraxas on our tax provision.
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
At December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company’s financial instruments included cash, cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and borrowings. The fair value of these financial instruments approximated their carrying value because of the short-term nature or variable rate terms of these instruments.
 
Loss Per Share
 
Basic earnings (loss) per share which excludes dilution, is computed by dividing income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock, such as stock options, result in the issuance of common stock, which shares in the earnings of the Company. The treasury stock method is applied to determine the dilutive effect of stock options in computing diluted earnings per share. The Company currently is in a loss position and does not calculate diluted earnings per share.
 
Stock-based Compensation
 
The Company uses a Black-Scholes-Merton option valuation model to determine the fair value of stock-based compensation. The Black-Scholes-Merton model incorporates various assumptions including the expected term of awards, volatility of stock price, risk-free rates of return and dividend yield. The expected term of an award is generally no less than the option vesting period and is based on the Company’s historical experience. Expected volatility is based upon the historical volatility of the Company’s stock price. The risk-free interest rate is approximated using rates available on U.S. Treasury securities with a remaining term equal to the option’s expected life. The Company uses a dividend yield of zero in the Black-Scholes-Merton option valuation model as it does not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

Convertible Debt Securities and Detachable Warrants
 
The Company entered into a Purchase Agreement with certain accredited investors pursuant to which we issued to the purchasers, convertible notes and warrants (See Note 5. Notes Payable).
 
The Company computed the intrinsic value of the effective conversion price based on the proceeds received for or allocated to the convertible instrument, if any, of the embedded conversion option.  Thus, the Company first allocated the proceeds received in this financing transaction that includes a convertible instrument to the convertible instrument and any other detachable instruments included in the exchange (such as detachable warrants) on a relative fair value basis.  Then, the Company calculated the effective conversion used to measure the intrinsic value, if any, of the embedded conversion option based on the Black-Scholes-Merton option valuation model.  The Company adjusts for the changes in the Black-Scholes-Merton option valuation model at each reporting period. (Assumptions used are displayed in table below.)

Except for certain amendments to Topic 815 and the nullification of paragraph 852-740-45-2, Update No. 2010-08 will become effective for the first reporting period beginning after issuance. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact of Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-08 on our consolidated financial results.
 
FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-06, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures.
 
In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Update No. 2010-06, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures, to improve disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. The amendments in this Update will require new disclosures related to the transfer in and out of Level 1 and 2, and require that a reporting company present Level 3 activity on a gross basis rather than one net number. In addition, the amendments in this Update clarify existing disclosures related to the level of disaggregation and disclosures about inputs and valuation techniques. Update No. 2010-06 will begin to become effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact of Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-06 on our consolidated financial results.
 
FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-04, Accounting for Various Topics, Technical Corrections to SEC Paragraphs.
 
In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Update No. 2010-4, Accounting for Various Topics, Technical Corrections to SEC Paragraphs, to update SEC staff announcements for codification references.

FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-01, Accounting for Distributions to Shareholders with Components of Stock and Cash.
 
In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Update No. 2010-01, Accounting for Distributions to Shareholders with Components of Stock and Cash, to clarify the accounting for a distribution to shareholders that offers the ability to elect to receive the entire distribution in cash or shares. Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-06 will be effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact of Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-01 on its consolidated financial results.
 
FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-14, Certain Revenue Arrangements That Include Software Elements, a Consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force.
 
In October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-14, Certain Revenue Arrangements That Include Software Elements, a Consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force, to amend guidance used to allocate and measure revenues by an enterprise that sells or leases tangible products in an arrangement that contains software that is more than incidental to the tangible product as a whole. The amendments in the Update require that hardware components of a tangible product containing software elements always be excluded from the software revenue guidance. The Update provides additional guidance on how to determine which software, if any, related to the tangible products also would be excluded from the scope of the software revenue guidance. Update No. 2009-14 will be effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact of Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-14 on our consolidated financial results.
 
FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-13, Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements, a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force.
 
In October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-13, Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements, a Consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force, to amend guidance which establishes a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable in a multiple-deliverable revenue arrangement. The amendments in this Update also will replace the term fair value in the revenue allocation guidance with selling price to clarify that the allocation of revenues is based on entity-specific assumptions rather than assumptions of marketplace participation.  In addition, the amendment revises certain disclosure requirements.  Update No. 2009-13 will become effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact of Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-14 on our consolidated financial results.
 
FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-01, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.
 
In October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-01, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, to amend the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for the issuance of the FASB Statement No. 168, the FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The FASB Accounting Standards Codification will become the source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) recognized by the FASB. Rules and interpretive releases of the Security and Exchange Commission (SEC) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. On the effective date of this Statement, the Codification will supersede all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other nongrandfathered non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification will become nonauthoritative. The adoption of Update No. 2009-01 did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 855, Subsequent Events.
 
On June 30, 2009, we adopted Topic 855, Subsequent Events, which is generally based on Financial Accounting Standard 165 which establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. Specifically, Topic 855 sets forth the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements, and the disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. The adoption of Topic 855 did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
 
FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 810, Consolidation, Subtopic 10 Overall, Section 65, Transition Related to FASB Statement No. 160 Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Financial Statements – an amendment to ARB No.51.
 
Topic 810, Consolidation, is based on Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 160, Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Financial Statements – an amendment of ARB 51, which we adopted on January 1, 2009. Topic 810 establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. This Topic defines a noncontrolling interest, previously called a minority interest, as the portion of equity in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to a parent. Topic 810 requires, among other items, that a noncontrolling interest be included in the consolidated statement of financial position within equity separate from the parent’s equity; consolidated net income to be reported at amounts inclusive of both the parent’s and noncontrolling interest’s shares and, separately, the amounts of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and noncontrolling interest all on the consolidated statement of operations; and if a subsidiary is deconsolidated, any retained noncontrolling equity investment in the former subsidiary be measured at fair value and a gain or loss be recognized in net income based on such fair value. The adoption of Topic 810 has had a material impact on our consolidated financial statements as related to the APA which closed on October 21, 2009.  (For additional details, see Note 6. Related Party Transactions, MediVision Medical Imaging Ltd., MediVision Asset Purchase.)
 
FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 810, Consolidation.
 
Topic 810 Consolidation, is generally based on Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R), which was issued in June 2009, which among other things requires an enterprise to perform an analysis to determine whether the enterprise’s variable interest(s) give it a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity; to require ongoing reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity; to eliminate the quantitative approach previously required for determining the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity; to add an additional reconsideration event for determining whether an entity is a variable interest entity when any changes in facts and circumstances occur such that holders of the equity investment at risk, as a group, lose the power from voting rights or similar rights of those investments to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance; and to require enhanced disclosures that will provide users of financial statements with more transparent information about an enterprise’s involvement in a variable interest entity. Topic 810, Consolidation, became effective on January 1, 2010. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact of this Topic on our consolidated Financial Statements.
 
FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 350, Intangibles -- Goodwill and Other.
 
Topic 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other, is generally based on Financial Staff Position (“FSP”) 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Asset, which was issued by the FASB in April 2008, which among other things, amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension

assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under Topic 350. The intent of the Topic is to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under Topic 350 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset, under Topic 805, Business Combinations, which is generally based on SFAS 141R, Business Combinations, and other GAAP principles.  The provisions of Topic 350 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Topic 350 is effective for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2009.  The adoption of Topic 350 did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
 
FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 805, Business Combinations.
 
Topic 805, Business Combinations, is generally based on Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations, which was issued by the FASB in December 2007, which among other things, establishes principles and requirements regarding the method in which the acquirer in a business combination (i) recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquired business, (ii) recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase, (iii) determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination and (iv) requires costs incurred to effect an acquisition to be recognized separately from the acquisition. Topic 805 is effective for all business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after January 1, 2009. Earlier adoption is prohibited. This standard changes the accounting treatment for business combinations on a prospective basis.  The adoption of Topic 805 has had a material impact on the financial position and results of operations as disclosed below.
 
On March 20, 2008, we entered into a definitive merger agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) with MV Acquisitions Ltd., an Israeli company and a wholly-owned subsidiary (“Merger Sub”), and MediVision, pursuant to which the Merger Sub would have merged with and into MediVision, with MediVision as the surviving entity. On March 16, 2009, we entered into a Termination Agreement with MediVision pursuant to which the Merger Agreement was terminated.
 
We capitalized $519,820 and $527,327 in 2008 and 2007, respectively, for a total of $1,047,047 of costs related to the proposed merger with MediVision.  In accordance with FASB Topic 805, Business Combinations, we must expense these costs. To comply with Topic 805 we have retroactively calculated our consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2008 and our consolidated statement of operations and consolidated cash flow statements for the year ended December 31, 2008. Our consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2008 and consolidated statement of operations and consolidated cash flow statement for the year ended December 31, 2008 report merger-related costs as expenses for comparative purposes. Beginning in 2009, we have expensed, within general and administrative expenses in our consolidated statement of operations, any new merger-related costs. The pro forma impact of this adjustment to our 2008 consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2008 is $519,720, respectively, as shown below:

Convertible note
 
On October 29, 2007, we issued to The Tail Wind Fund Ltd. and Solomon Strategic Holdings, Inc. (together with The Tail Wind Fund Ltd., the “Holders”) (i) an aggregate of $2,750,000 in principal amount of our 6.5% Convertible Notes Due April 30, 2010 (the “Notes”), which are convertible into 1,676,829 shares of our common stock, no par value, and (ii) warrants to purchase an aggregate of 616,671 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $1.87 per share. The warrants expire on December 10, 2012.
 
Pursuant to an Extension Agreement, dated June 24, 2009, between us and the Holders with respect to the Notes, the Holders agreed to extend the principal payments due thereon for 18 months, such that the next principal payment with respect to the Notes will be due December 31, 2010, and extend the maturity date of the Notes to October 31, 2011.  As consideration for these extensions and waivers, we issued warrants (the “New Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of 500,000 shares of our common stock.  These New Warrants have an exercise price of $1.00 per share and expire on June 24, 2012.
 
Pursuant to certain anti-dilution provisions in the Notes and Warrants, which were triggered as a result of the sale of securities under the Purchase Agreement, with AccelMed the conversion and exercise prices changed from $1.64 to $1.1375 per share for the Notes and $1.87 to $1.2970 per share for the Warrants.  Based on these changes, the Holders may receive up to an additional 431,700 and 272,421 shares of common stock under the Notes and Warrants, respectively.
 
The Company computed the intrinsic value of the effective conversion price based on the proceeds received for or allocated to the convertible instrument, if any, of the embedded conversion option.  Thus, the Company first allocated the proceeds received in this financing transaction that includes a convertible instrument to the convertible instrument and any other detachable instruments included in the exchange (such as detachable warrants) on a relative fair value basis.  The Company then calculated the effective conversion used to measure the intrinsic value, if any, of the embedded conversion option based on the Black-Scholes-Merton option valuation model.  The Company adjusts for the changes in the Black-Scholes-Merton option valuation model at each reporting period.

MediVision Medical Imaging Ltd.
 
As of December 31, 2009, MediVision Medical Imaging Ltd., an Israeli corporation (“MediVision”), is our second largest shareholder with 9,380,843 shares of our common stock, or 35.4%.  As of March 12, 2010, MediVision owns 9,256,557 shares of our common stock, or 34.9%.
 
MediVision Asset Purchase
 
On June 24, 2009, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (“APA”) with MediVision to purchase substantially all the assets of MediVision, which was completed on October 21, 2009 (the “MediVision Asset Purchase”). Such assets included the European operations which consisted of MediVision’s business as conducted by CCS Pawlowski GmbH (“CCS”), its branch office in Belgium (the “Belgium Activities”), certain agreements under which MediVision contracted with third parties for distribution and other services (the “Purchased Agreements”), and rights to intellectual property which resulted from MediVision’s research and development (“R&D”) activities performed in Israel.
 
As payment for such assets, we agreed to assume a bank loan outstanding with Mizrahi Tefahot Bank Ltd. (the “United Mizrahi Bank”) in the amount of $1,500,000, to which we were previously a guarantor (For more details of the guaranty, see “Note 6. Related Party Transactions, United Mizrahi Bank Loan” below.), liabilities associated with the acquired assets on and after October 21, 2009, the closing date, and certain taxes, and extinguishment of all intercompany indebtedness owed to us with a principal amount of $4,178,622.
 
In addition, in early 2009, we hired all of MediVision’s research and development staff and moved them to our offices in the United States and Israel.
 
During 2009, we had recorded intercompany accounts and notes receivable due from MediVision of $450,000 and $3,168,622, respectively, prepaid product advances to MediVision of $560,000, which were in anticipation of the completion of the Electro-optical Unit, and $273,808 of exclusivity rights paid to MediVision to sell the Electro-optical Unit in the U.S. All such amounts were extinguished upon completion of the MediVision Asset Purchase. At June 30, 2009, management determined the intercompany indebtedness owed to us by MediVision was impaired and recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts for the outstanding balance equal to $4,436,187. In connection with the MediVision Asset Purchase, management wrote off the balance of intercompany indebtedness owed to us by MediVision, thus, eliminating the allowance for doubtful accounts.  Following the completion of the MediVision Asset Purchase, management extinguished an additional $16,243 of intercompany notes receivable due from MediVision.

The purchase price of the MediVision Asset Purchase was allocated to the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and noncontrolling interest in CCS using the relative fair values as determined by management at the acquisition date. Goodwill was computed as follows:
 
Fair Value of Assets Acquired:
           
Net financial assets
  $ 163,000        
Tangible assets
    311,000        
Intangible assets
    692,000        
Total Assets
            1,166,000  
                 
Fair Value of Liabilities Assumed and Noncontrolling Interest
               
Debt to United Mizrahi Bank
    (1,500,000 )        
Noncontrolling interest in CCS
    (473,000 )        
Total Liabilities and Noncontrolling Interest
            (1,973,000 )
                 
Goodwill Resulting from the Business Combination:
          $ 807,000  

In connection with the MediVision Asset Purchase, we recorded (1) financial assets of approximately $163,000 which represents cash, (2) tangible assets of approximately $311,000 which are primarily comprised of net accounts receivable, inventory and fixed assets, and (3) intangible assets of approximately $692,000 which are attributable to customer relationships and the Purchased Agreements related to the European operations of approximately $493,000 and intellectual property related to the Electro-optical Unit of approximately $199,000 which resulted from MediVision’s R&D activities performed in Israel. The intangible assets related to customer relationships and Purchased Agreements were valued on the date of acquisition at fair value and will be amortized over an estimated useful life of 8.2 years and will result in additional amortization expense of approximately $60,000 annually. During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company recognized $8,693 of amortization expense related to customer relationships and Purchased Agreements. The intangible asset for the intellectual property related to the Electro-optical Unit which was valued on the date of the acquisition at fair value, will be amortized over its estimated useful life upon completion of the product and once sales commence.  The Company will test these assets for recoverability on an ongoing basis.
 
The fair value of the noncontrolling interest in CCS of $473,000 was estimated by applying the income approach. This fair value measurement is based on significant inputs that are not observable in the market. Key assumptions include (1) a discount rate of 17% and (2) a terminal year long-term sustainable growth rate of 3%.
 
Goodwill reflects the replacement cost of an assembled workforce associated with personal reputations, relationships and business specific knowledge and the value of expected synergies and the noncontrolling interest holders. The fair value of goodwill exceeds its carrying amount at December 31, 2009. The Company will test goodwill for impairment on an annual bases and between annual test periods if an event occurs or circumstances change that would reduce its carrying value. In connection with the MediVision Asset Purchase, we recorded $52,500 as an expense for attorney and accounting services related to the MediVision Asset Purchase incurred during the year ended December 31, 2009.
 
During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company recognized revenue and net losses related to the business operations purchased in connection with the MediVision Asset Purchase of $188,683 and $121,333, respectively.

Escrow Agreement
 
Pursuant to the terms of the APA and an Escrow Agreement (the “Escrow Agreement”) between us, MediVision and Stephen L. Davis, Esq. dated June 24, 2009, MediVision deposited 5,793,452 shares (the “Escrow Shares”) of our common stock into escrow.  If MediVision fails to make certain payments under the APA, the Escrow Shares will be distributed to us or sold and the proceeds thereof distributed to us.  The agreement will terminate upon the later of (i) October 21, 2011 or (ii) the satisfaction and discharge of the $1,800,000 claim made by the Office of the Chief Scientist of the Israeli Ministry of Industry, Trade & Labor to MediVision.
 
United Mizrahi Bank Loan
 
In 2005, we entered into a Secured Debenture (the “Debenture”) in favor of United Mizrahi Bank Ltd., in an amount of up to $2,000,000 (plus interest, commissions and all expenses). Under the terms of the Debenture, we guaranteed the payment of all of the debts and liabilities of MediVision to United Mizrahi Bank up to $2,000,000. The Debenture is secured by a first lien on all of our assets. On June 24, 2009, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, we agreed, that upon consummation of the APA, to assume MediVision’s loan under the Debenture.  On October 23, 2009, we entered into a Secured Debenture (the “Secured Debenture”) with United Mizrahi Bank.  Under the Secured Debenture we agreed to assume MediVision’s loan under the Debenture in an amount of up to $1,500,000 (the “Loan Amount”).  We also agreed to secure the Loan Amount by granting United Mizrahi Bank a security interest in all or substantially all of our assets.  Under the Secured Debenture, United Mizrahi Bank may require the immediate payment of the entire Loan Amount upon certain events, which include among other things, our failure to make a payment on a due date or a breach or failure to perform its obligations pursuant to the Secured Debenture.  Upon failure to make a payment, we must pay, within seven days, the amount demanded by United Mizrahi Bank.

The Loan Amount accrues interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus 4.75%.  In addition, principal payments are required to be made in 18 equal monthly installments beginning January 31, 2011. However, if we do not receive at least $1,000,000 upon consummation of a second installment with AccelMed, by June 30, 2010, we may elect to: (i) make principal payments of $60,000 per month beginning July 31, 2010 and ending December 31, 2010, with the remaining principal payments made in 18 equal monthly installments; under this option, we must maintain a cash balance of at least $1,000,000 (decreasing based on the loan balance), 50% of which must be on deposit at United Mizrahi Bank or (ii) make principal payments in 18 equal monthly installments beginning January 31, 2011; under this option, we must maintain a cash balance of at least $1,500,000 (decreasing based on the loan balance), 50% of which must be on deposit at United Mizrahi Bank.  As part of its agreement with United Mizrahi Bank, we agreed to deposit $750,000 cash in a bank account at United Mizrahi Bank with such balance to be maintained until June 30, 2010.  After June 30, 2010, we must maintain a balance of at least $375,000 in such bank account, as long as the loan remains outstanding.  As the balance of the deposit is not legally restricted or held as a compensating balance against borrowings, it is not reported as restricted cash on the balance sheet at December 31, 2009. We are also subject to a debt covenant, whereby our cash plus accounts receivable must be at least 150% of the principal and interest outstanding under the loan.
 
The Purchase Agreement includes a covenant which deters the early payment of principal to United Mizrahi Bank in 2010.  If during the year ended December 31, 2010, the aggregate amount of the principal payments that we make to United Mizrahi Bank exceeds our Earnings Before Interest, Taxes and Amortization (“EBITDA”) for the year ended December 31, 2010, then within three business days after we file our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010 with the Commission, we must issue to AccelMed, shares of our common stock in an amount equal to the aggregate amount of the principal payments made to United Mizrahi Bank during the year ended December 31, 2010 minus EBITDA divided by 0.41522.  Such shares will be issued without receipt of any additional consideration from AccelMed.  At this time, we are unable to determine if any such payment will be required and if required, the amount of such payment.
 
Warrant to United Mizrahi Bank
 
On October 23, 2009, in connection with the assumption of the United Mizrahi loan, we issued to United Mizrahi Bank a warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase 350,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 which will expire upon the earlier of October 23, 2012 or twelve months following the completion of (1) a primary public offering of our common stock (a “Public Offering”) or (2) (a) the sale of all or substantially all of our assets or (b) the merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another entity, pursuant to which 50% of the Company’s outstanding common stock is held by person(s) who prior to the transaction held, in aggregate, less than 5% (together, a “Liquidity Event,” and together with a Public Offering, an “Exit Event”); provided however, if the underwriter in a Public Offering or the purchasing person(s) in a Liquidity Event require that all our outstanding warrants and options, including the Warrant be exercised prior to or part of the Public Offering or Liquidity Event, as applicable, then the Warrant will terminate, subject to certain notice requirements, upon completion of such transaction.
 
The exercise price of the Warrant is $1.00, subject to the happening of certain events, including, but not limited to, the payment of a stock dividend or a stock split.  The Warrant also includes certain anti-dilution provisions if we issue or sell any equity securities or securities convertible into equity, options or rights to purchase equity securities at a per share selling price less than the exercise price, then the exercise price will be adjusted pursuant to a weighted-average formula.
 
Upon or immediately prior to an Exit Transaction, United Mizrahi may elect to waive all or any portion of the rights under the Warrant for $225,000 (the “Alternative Payment”).  If only a portion of the Warrant is waived or if the Warrant was partially exercised prior to the Exit Event, the Alternative Payment will be reduced proportionately.  In connection with the issuance of the Warrant to United Mizrahi Bank, we recorded the fair value of the Warrant using the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation model as permanent equity as the Warrant was issued in relation to the Purchase Agreement.  The total value of these options is approximately $40,138.

MediVision Loans and Advances
 
In connection with the MediVision Asset Purchase, management has written off the balance of intercompany indebtedness which was comprised of accounts receivable and notes receivable from MediVision of $450,000 and $3,168,622, respectively, $560,000 in prepaid assets for funds advanced to MediVision in anticipation of the completion of the Electro-optical Unit and $273,808 that we paid to MediVision for exclusivity rights to sell the Electro-optical Unit in the U.S.  As of June 30, 2009, based upon revised estimates and the timing of the shifting of our focus from the Electro-optical Unit to other products through the end of 2010, management decided to impair the aggregate balance of intercompany indebtedness and thus, recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts equal to $4,436,187 offsetting each account and thus, recording an impairment expense for the same amount. Following the completion of the MediVision Asset Purchase, management extinguished an additional $16,243 of intercompany notes receivable due from MediVision.

The plans generally expire ten years from the inception of the plans. Options granted under these agreements have a vesting period of up to four years. Incentive stock options under these plans are granted at fair market value on the date of grant and non-qualified stock options granted cannot be less than 85% of the fair market value on the date of grant.

In 2009, we determined that we will not more-likely-than-not be able to use any of our deferred tax asset in the future. We analyzed our operating results from 2008, 2009, and projected operating results for 2010, combined with the downward turn in the economy in 2008, and determined that it is not more-likely-than-not that we will be able to use our deferred tax asset in the future.

At December 31, 2009 and 2008, management reviewed recent operating results and projected future operating results, as well as the current conditions in the global economy and medical industry.  On each of these dates, management determined whether it was more-likely-than-not that a portion of the deferred tax assets attributable to net operating losses would be realized. For a description of our analysis in determining our deferred tax asset, see “Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Income Taxes.”
 
We re-evaluate our estimates and assumptions we use in our financial statements on an ongoing and quarterly basis. We adjust these estimates and assumptions as needed and as circumstances change. If circumstances change in the future, we will adjust our estimates and assumptions accordingly. At the present time, we cannot determine whether our assumptions and estimates will change in the future. Based on historical knowledge, however, it is reasonably likely that there will be some changes in some of our estimates and assumptions. The Company did not identify any material uncertain tax positions as of and for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008.

Item 9A(T).          Controls and Procedures
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
As of December 31, 2009, management of the Company, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer), evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Disclosure controls and procedures are defined as the controls and other procedures of the Company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act are accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that, as of December 31, 2009, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
 
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate “internal control over financial reporting” for the Company, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Internal control over financial reporting is defined as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Company’s principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the Company’s board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.  Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
 
Management of the Company, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer), conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009 using the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control – Integrated Framework. Management believes that this evaluation provides a reasonable basis for its opinion.
 
Based on this evaluation, management has concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, as of December 31, 2009, was effective.
 
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
