As used herein, “OIS,” “we,” “us,” “our” and the “Company” refers to Ophthalmic Imaging Systems.

 


PART I

 

ITEM 1.

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. The primary target market for our digital angiography systems and informatics solutions has been retinal specialists and general ophthalmologists. Recently, we purchased Electronic Medical Records (“EMR”) and Practice Management (“PM”) software to be sold to the following ambulatory-care specialties: ophthalmology, obstetrics/gynecology (“OB/GYN”), orthopedics and primary care.

 

Since our inception, we have developed products that have 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. These WinStation systems are targeted primarily at retinal specialists and general ophthalmologists for use in the diagnosis and treatment of retinal diseases and other ocular pathologies.

 

We believe, however, 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.

 

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 entered into the Ophthalmic Picture Archiving and Communications Systems (“PACS”) software market during 2004. PACS enables medical staff to access new and archived images remotely, thus, improving the environment 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, through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Abraxas Medical Solutions, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Abraxas”), acquired substantially all the assets of AcerMed, Inc. (“AcerMed”), a leading developer of EMR and PM software. AcerMed has been providing comprehensive and advanced EMR and PM software to medical practices, from solo practitioners to multi-site practices, nationwide. Through this acquisition, we gained the rights to software applications that 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.

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 can 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. 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 to treat 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 intended for use 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.

 

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.

2

 

 


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 a broad selection of third party sources, including reports by the National Physician’s Census with data provided by the American Osteopathic Association, we believe there are approximately 17,000 ophthalmologists in the United States and approximately 28,000 ophthalmologists practicing medicine in 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 42,000 practicing optometrists in the United States.

 

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. 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 primary target market for our EMR and PM software is ophthalmologists with various specialties, as described above, numbering approximately 17,000 in the United States.

 

In order to increase our research and development and marketing effectiveness, Abraxas focuses on the following types of office based physicians: ophthalmology, primary care, obstetrics and gynecology, and orthopedic surgeons. Having reviewed a broad selection of third-party sources, including reports by the National Physician's Census, we believe there are approximately 17,000 office-based ophthalmic physicians, approximately 235,000 office-based primary care physicians, approximately 35,000 office-based obstetrics and gynecology physicians, and approximately 19,000 office-based orthopedic surgeons in the United States.

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 sales force in marketing our products throughout the United States. At December 31, 2008, our sales and marketing organization consisted of one VP of Sales U.S./Canada, eight territory sales representatives and ten product specialists located throughout the United States. These regional representatives and product specialists provide marketing, sales, maintenance, installation and training services. We also utilize OIS-trained contractors to provide certain installation and training services. Additionally, we subcontract service maintenance in several cities in the United States for routine component replacement.

 

Internationally, we utilize ophthalmic distributors that sell our products in various foreign countries. Each country has trained sales and technical service staff for their respective territories. MediVision, our parent, and CCS Pawlowski GmbH, an affiliate (“CCS”), serve as the principal distributors of our products in Europe and other international markets.

 

Pursuant to a Distribution Agreement, as amended, dated January 1, 2004, we appointed MediVision to be our exclusive distributor of certain products in Europe, Africa, Israel and India (the “MV Territory”). Under the agreement, MediVision must purchase the specified quota of the products as listed in the agreement. If MediVision fails to satisfy its quota obligation, this constitutes a breach and we may terminate the exclusivity provision. In satisfying the quota, MediVision purchases are aggregated with CCS purchases. CCS is a German subsidiary of MediVision. The quota for 2008 was $850,000 for MediVision (combined with CCS purchases). MediVision did not meet their quota for 2008. The initial term of the Distribution Agreement was for two years, which automatically renews in one-year periods. Either party may terminate the Distribution Agreement with at least 6 months prior written notice. The amount of products MediVision may purchase on credit for distribution under this agreement is limited to $450,000. During fiscal 2008, we sold approximately $597,000 ($823,000 combined with CCS purchases) of products to MediVision. For the sale of WinStation products under this Distribution Agreement, MediVision receives a tiered volume discount based on the amount ordered. The 2008 volume discounts are summarized in the table below. These volume discounts apply uniformly to all distributors of our WinStation products.

Under the Distribution Agreement with CCS, dated February 14, 2006, we appointed CCS, as our exclusive distributor of certain products in Germany and Austria (the “Territory”). Under the agreement, CCS must purchase the specified quota of Distribution Products. If CCS fails to satisfy its quota obligation, this constitutes a breach and OIS may terminate the exclusivity provision. The quota for 2008 was $390,000. All subsequent quotas will be agreed upon between the parties at the beginning of each year. If no quota is agreed upon, the preceding year’s quota will carry forward. For the sale of certain products, CCS will receive a tiered volume discount based on the amount ordered. The discounts for 2008 are summarized in the table below. The initial term of the Distribution Agreement was for two years, which now automatically renews in one-year periods. Either party may terminate the agreement with at least 3 months prior written notice. Pursuant to a Distribution Agreement, during 2008, we sold products to CCS of approximately $226,000. CCS did not meet its quota for 2008.

Under a License and Distribution Agreement, as amended, dated June 28, 2006, MediVision appointed us to be its exclusive distributor of a new digital imaging system, the Electro-Optical Unit, in the Americas and the Pacific Rim (excluding China and India). In return, we paid $273,808. We also agreed to pay cash advances totaling $460,000 based on, among other things, the completion of certain phases of development of the Electro-Optical Unit. The advanced funds will be recovered as we purchase Electro-Optical Units in the future. As of December 31, 2008, we paid MediVision an aggregate of $460,000 in cash advances. Cash payments made under this agreement for exclusive distribution rights have been capitalized and will be amortized over the term of the agreement upon the sale of the first unit. We also granted MediVision a license to use our OIS WinStation software and any other applicable OIS system and the accompanying intellectual property rights therein. The initial term of the agreement is for ten years, which will be automatically renewed in one-year periods. Either party may terminate the agreement with at least 6 months prior written notice, provided that, we do not meet the purchase quota. Originally, we agreed on specified quotas that mandated that we purchase a minimum number of the Electro-Optical Units each year. On December 31, 2007, we amended the agreement to terminate the mandatory quota.

 

To promote sales, we prepare brochures, data sheets and application notes on our products, participate in industry trade shows and workshops, and advertise in trade journals, press releases, direct mail solicitations, journal articles, and scientific papers and presentations.

Abraxas Sale and Marketing

 

Abraxas utilizes a direct sales force in marketing and selling its products throughout the United States. At December 31, 2008, Abraxas’ sales and marketing organization consisted of three territory sales representatives, two marketing personnel, and five product specialists. These personnel 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 manufacture 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 4,500 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, 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 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.

 

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 two primary competitors for the Ophthalmic PACS that develop similar solutions.

 

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, GE, Sage Software, and 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. 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 ocular healthcare industry as well as to primary care, obstetrics and gynecology, and orthopedic surgeons. 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 Research and Development

 

During 2008, we 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, 2008 and 2007 were approximately $2,644,000 and $1,631,000, respectively. In 2008, we capitalized $424,244 of the costs associated with the development of a web-based software.

 

In 2008, MediVision and other outsourced consultants conducted most of our research and development. MediVision performed our research and development pursuant to a Research and Development Services Agreement dated January 1, 2004. Under this agreement, MediVision agreed to use its best efforts to develop the WinStation software in accordance with our specifications included therein. We, in turn, agreed to pay, in monthly payments, 112% of MediVision’s research and development costs incurred in connection with developing the WinStation software. The initial term of the agreement is for two years, to be automatically renewed for additional 12 month periods unless terminated by either party upon 6 months prior written notice. The agreement is exclusive in that during the effective period we may not receive research and development services relating to the WinStation software from other parties without MediVision’s prior written consent. Also under the agreement, MediVision must obtain our written approval prior to incurring any new research and development expenses in connection with the development of WinStation software. Moreover, the parties agreed to render to each other, all reasonable assistance in obtaining any regulatory approvals required in connection with the WinStation software or any other results of the research and development services performed under the agreement. The parties also agreed that upon termination, (1) for 12 months, each party must maintain insurance reasonable to cover its liabilities, (2) for 24 months, MediVision agrees to not engage or participate in any business, anywhere in the world, that competes directly with the WinStation or OIS, unless mutually agreed, (3) for 18 months, OIS agrees to not engage or participate in any business, anywhere in the world, that competes directly with MediVision, unless mutually agreed, and (4) for 12 months, generally, neither party may employ any employees, contractors, or directors of the other party or interfere with the other party’s existing business or customer contracts, unless mutually agreed.

 

In January 2009, we transitioned part of MediVision’s WinStation and Symphony research and development team to our corporate office in Sacramento, California to be OIS employees, thereby streamlining our research and development efforts.

 

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. (See Item 1. Business.) In 2008, Abraxas capitalized $1,150,831 of research and development expenses.

 

Abraxas also capitalized the EMR, PM and Scheduling software it acquired from AcerMed. (For more details of Abraxas acquisition, see Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Result of Operations.)

 

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 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, and 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, also may 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.

 

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 in 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 2008, 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.

10

 

 


Employees

 

As of December 31, 2008, we have 58 employees, 1 of whom is part-time and 2 are seasonal employees. We have 19 employees at 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, have never experienced any material labor disruption, and are unaware of any current efforts or plans to organize our employees. We consider our relationship with our employees to be good.

 

Item 1A.

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 recession that the U.S. economy has entered will last. The recession 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 will be required to eliminate certain operations that may adversely affect our business.

Our operations require substantial funds for, among other things, continuing research and development and manufacturing and marketing 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.

11

 

 


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 10% to 18% 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.

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 recently 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.

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.

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.

13

 

 


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.

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.

If MediVision fails to repay amounts guaranteed by us under the Debenture, it could result in a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, or financial condition.

We are a party to a Debenture whereby we guarantee 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. The amount owed to the financial institutions by MediVision and secured by us as of December 31, 2008 was approximately $1,700,000. If MediVision fails to pay the debts and liabilities secured by us under the Debenture we will be obligated to pay these amounts to United Mizrahi Bank. The cash required to pay such amounts will most likely come out of our working capital. Since we rely on our working capital for our day-to-day operations, any such default by MediVision could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, or financial condition to such extent that we are forced to restructure, file for bankruptcy, sell assets or cease operations, any of which could put your investment at significant risk. (For a more detailed description of the Debenture, see Item 8. Financial Statements, Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 6. Related Party Transactions, MediVision.)

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.

 

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.

15

 

 


 

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 35,000,000 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.

Item 3.

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 alleges against Mr. Verdooner claims of breach of fiduciary duty, intentional interference with contract, and intentional interference with prospective economic advantage, and it alleges claims against Opko Health and the Frost Group, of interference and with aiding and abetting Verdooner’s interference and breach of fiduciary duty. The complaint requests total damages against defendants in excess of $7,000,000.

 

On February 20, 2009, Defendants moved for summary judgment against our complaint; the hearing on this motion is scheduled for March 27, 2009. Discovery in the case is ongoing, and the trial has been set for April 28, 2009.

Item 7.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULT 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. We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions contained in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and in Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements because these forward-looking statements we make 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.

20

 

 


At December 31, 2008, we had stockholders’ equity of $8,995,500 and our current assets exceeded our current liabilities by $4,715,371.

 

There can be no assurance that we will be able to achieve or sustain significant positive cash flows, revenues or profitability in the future.

 

 

2008 Highlights

 

 

Acquisition of EMR, PM and Scheduling Software.

 

The formation of Abraxas Medical Solutions and subsequent acquisition of AcerMed's EMR and PM and Scheduling source code, has enabled us to diversify and offer more than ophthalmic-specific solutions.  This expansion into an exponentially larger market will enable us to stabilize revenues that had been previously subject to the changing conditions of a single specialist group and grow profits by catering to a much larger target market.

 

 

Transition of Research and Development Personnel.

 

For a quarter of a century we led the ophthalmic digital imaging and image management market by offering solutions that the competition was unable to deliver. The transition of part of the research and development team from MediVision to OIS will increase the efficiency of our research and development efforts and help us reduce our costs.

 

Acquisition of EMR, PM and Scheduling

 

In January 2008, we purchased substantially all of the assets of AcerMed, Inc., a leading software developer for EMR and PM software. The acquisition was through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Abraxas Medical Solutions, Inc. AcerMed has been recognized as a leader in providing comprehensive and advanced EMR and PM software solutions for a wide range of medical practices, from sole practitioners to multi-site, multi-specialty group practices nationwide. Through the acquisition, we gained the rights to software applications that 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, for example, using a wireless computer pen tablet at the point of care. Due to the acquisition of Abraxas, NextGen Healthcare Information Systems, Inc. chose in January 2008 to discontinue its relationship with OIS. Prior to its acquisition of AcerMed’s assets, OIS was marketing and selling NextGen’s EMR and EPM software products to the ophthalmic market.

 

The aggregate cost to acquire substantially all the assets of AcerMed was $604,509. During 2007, we incurred legal and due diligence expenses of $104,509 in connection with the acquisition, which we capitalized as a cost of attaining AcerMed’s assets. In 2008, we also paid $500,000 to the courts, as AcerMed was in Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings, to purchase the assets of AcerMed. The book value of the assets purchased was $34,432, which we allocated to fixed assets. We attributed the remaining $465,568 to intangible assets.

 

We determined that our purchase price of $500,000 was by definition the fair value of the assets because there were other potential buyers for the same assets through the bankruptcy courts. AcerMed was going through Chapter 11 Bankruptcy and there were other buyers along with our Company willing to purchase the assets for approximately the same amount. Therefore, the sample of the market showed us what the market was willing to pay for these assets.

21

 

 


We determined that the software we acquired has an indefinite useful life and, therefore, is not amortized until its useful life is determined to be no longer indefinite. We will be evaluating the asset for impairment on an ongoing basis.

 

New Accounting Pronouncements

 

Financial Accounting Pronouncement FAS 157

 

In December 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) released Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”). This statement defines fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), and expands the required disclosures about fair value measurements. This definition applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements and is intended to increase consistency and comparability. This statement was adopted as of January 1, 2008. The adoption of FASB 157 did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

FASB Staff Position FAS 157-3

 

On October 10, 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) Financial Accounting Standard 157-3, Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset is Not Active.  The FSP clarifies the application of SFAS 157 in a market that is not active and provides an example to illustrate key considerations in determining the fair value of a financial asset when the market for that financial asset is not active.  The FSP is effective immediately and includes prior period financial statements that have not yet been issued. Therefore we have been subject to FSP FAS 157-3 effective September 30, 2008.  The implementation of FSP FAS 157-3 did not affect our fair value measurement as of December 31, 2008.

 

Financial Accounting Pronouncement FAS 159

 

In February 2007, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“SFAS 159”), which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. This Statement permits all entities to choose, at specified election dates, to measure eligible items at fair value (the “fair value option”). A business entity shall report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings (or another performance indicator if the business entity does not report earnings) at each subsequent reporting date. Upfront costs and fees related to items for which the fair value option is elected must be recognized in earnings as incurred and not deferred. This Statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. The adoption of SFAS 159 did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows and the Company did not elect the fair value option for any items.

 

Financial Accounting Pronouncement FAS 141(R)

 

In December 2007, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations (“SFAS 141(R)”), 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. SFAS 141(R) is effective for all business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after January 1, 2009. Earlier adoption is prohibited. This standard will change the accounting treatment for business combinations on a prospective basis. We believe that the adoption of FASB 141(R) will have a material impact on our financial position and results of operations as disclosed below.

22

 

 


 

In 2007 and 2008, we capitalized $1,047,047 of costs related to the proposed merger with MediVision in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, Business Combinations. Upon adoption of SFAS 141(R), we must expense these costs. To comply with SFAS 141(R) we have retroactively calculated our consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2007 and 2008 and our consolidated statements of operations and consolidated cash flow statements for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2008. Next year, 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 will also report merger-related costs as expensed for comparative purposes. Beginning in 2009, we will expense, 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 2007 and 2008 consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2008 is $527,327 and $519,720, respectively, as shown below:

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principals (“GAAP”). The financial information contained in the financial statements is, to a significant extent, 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.

23

 

 

 


 

We re-evaluate our estimates and assumptions that we use in our financials 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 are in compliance with applicable accounting rules and regulations, including (1) Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104 (“SAB 104”), “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements,” (2) American Institute of Certified Public accountants, Statement of Position (“SOP”) 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition,” (3) SOP 98-9, “Modification of SOP 97-2”, with Respect to Certain Transactions, and (4) Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 00-21, “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables.”

 

Under EITF 00-21, 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 the product shipment 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. Upon review, we concluded that 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. 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.

 

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. Occasionally, we have customers who require specific acceptance tests and accordingly, we do not recognize such revenue until these specific tests are met.

 

Tax Provision

 

Deferred taxes are calculated on a liability method, whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards and deferred tax

24

 

 


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 June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN 48”), an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (“SFAS 109”). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS 109. FIN 48 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, FIN 48 provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.

 

The provisions of FIN 48 were adopted on January 1, 2007 and were applied to all of our tax positions. Only tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold on January 1, 2007 were recognized or continue to be recognized upon adoption. We previously recognized income tax positions based on management’s estimate of whether it was reasonably possible that a liability had been incurred for unrecognized income tax benefits by applying FASB Statement No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies. The adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations of cash flow.

 

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 system 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. Based on this analysis, we did not need to change our estimated cost per product in our general reserve for products shipped in the current year.

 

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.

25

 

 


In 2007, the general warranty reserve decreased from $395,575 to $128,250 due to the decrease of our specific reserves related to possible replacements, repairs or upgrades of our products.

 

At the end of 2006, we had specific reserves for new products in the amount of $249,825. During 2007, many of the possible replacements, repairs or upgrades that were reserved for at the end of 2006 were determined unnecessary, leaving no specific reserve balance within our warranty reserve at December 31, 2007.

 

Convertible Debt and Warrants

On October 29, 2007, we issued warrants 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.  We also have 313,000 warrants outstanding as of December 31, 2008 with exercise prices ranging between $1.40 and $1.83 per share. These warrants expire on April 27, 2009.

There were an aggregate of 929,671 warrants outstanding and exercisable as of December 31, 2008 with a weighted average remaining contractual life of 2.72 years, a weighted average exercise price of $1.79. There is no intrinsic value of warrants outstanding at December 31, 2008.

According to EITF 00-27, the effective conversion price based on the proceeds received for or allocated to the convertible instrument should be used to compute the intrinsic value, if any, of the embedded conversion option. As a result of this consensus, an issuer should first allocate the proceeds received in a 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 Issue 98-5 model should be applied to the amount allocated to the convertible instrument, and an effective conversion price should be calculated and used to measure the intrinsic value, if any, of the embedded conversion option. We adjust for the changes in the Black-Scholes-Merton option valuation model at each reporting period.

The impact of this adjustment to our 2008 financial statements is a decrease to interest expense of $19,701, a decrease to the discount on the note of $170,436 and a decrease to additional paid in capital of $190,138.

Software Capitalization

We capitalize software development costs in accordance with applicable accounting rules and regulations, including Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86 Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed (“SFAS 86”).

In 2008, we capitalized our EMR, PM and Scheduling software that we acquired from AcerMed through the bankruptcy court. SFAS 86 requires that purchased computer software to be sold, leased or otherwise marketed must be capitalized when the software is acquired. This software was purchased and will be sold, leased or marketed upon modification by our research and development team to be ready for sale to our customers. To date we capitalized $570,077 for this software. In accordance with SFAS 86, we have also capitalized the research and development costs incurred to prepare this software for sale. Pursuant to SFAS 86, research and development costs are to be capitalized once technological feasibility is established. We believe this software is technologically feasible because we worked with a model/prototype that had been in the market before our acquisition. The amount of research and development we capitalized in connection with this software as of December 31, 2008 was $1,150,831.

26

 

 


In 2008, we also capitalized the costs associated with the development of a web-based software. According to SFAS 86, technological feasibility is established upon completion of a detailed program design of the finished product or, in its absence, upon completion of a working model. We currently have both a working prototype and a program design of the finished product. As of December 31, 2008, we have capitalized $424,244 of costs incurred in connection with the development of this software.

 

Principals of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of OIS and Abraxas Medical Solutions, Inc., its wholly-owned subsidiary (“Abraxas”). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

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.

 

We evaluate our reporting segments in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information (“SFAS 131”). Our Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) has been determined as the Chief Operating Decision Maker, defined by SFAS 131. 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, 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.

 

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 11% and 12% of revenues in fiscal 2008 and 2007, respectively. Expenses were $1,550,492 during fiscal 2008, representing a decrease of $134,259 or 8% compared to expenses of $1,684,751 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

30

 

 


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 income was ($84,922) during 2008 compared to $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 - Note 5. Note Payable to the Consolidated Financial Statements)

In 2008, we determined that we will more-likely-than-not be unable 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 in 2008 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.

 

31

 

 


 

 

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 Income (loss)

 

We reported a net loss of ($2,465,805) or ($0.15) basic loss per share during 2008 compared to net income of $1,552,616 or $0.09 basic earnings per share during 2007. Earnings per share is calculated in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings Per Share (“SFAS 128”). (See Item 8. Financial Statements, Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Earnings per Share.) The results of operations for 2008 reflect the softening demand for our digital imaging equipment in 2008.

 

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. Sales to MediVision, included in these totals, accounted for approximately 64% or $597,000 and 78% or $608,000 of our export sales for 2008 and 2007, respectively.

 

 

Comparison of Year Ended December 31, 2007 to Year Ended December 31, 2006

 

Revenues

 

Our revenues for the year ended December 31, 2007 were $14,489,044 representing a decrease of $1,308,119 or 8% as compared to revenues of $15,797,163 for the year ended December 31, 2006. The decrease resulted from decreased product sales of $2,009,973, including installation, offset by increased service revenues of $701,854. The decrease in product sales is primarily due to the impact of two large non-repeating contracts recognized during the second and third quarters of 2006. Digital angiography systems and ophthalmology office products accounted for approximately 79% and 85% of our total revenues during 2007 and 2006, respectively. Service revenue for the years ended 2007 and 2006 accounted for approximately 21% and 15% of our total revenues for the years ended 2007 and 2006, respectively. The increased service revenue is primarily due to the increase in our extended service contracts from an increase in our customer base and more customers understanding the benefits of purchasing extended warranty contracts. Our remaining service revenue which has stayed nominally 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 57% from 59% in fiscal 2007 versus 2006, respectively, primarily due to the increased costs incurred by our service department. We anticipate that our gross margins will decrease as our sales of service contracts, which have lower gross margins than the majority of our products, become more significant.

 

Sales and Marketing Expenses

 

Sales and marketing expenses accounted for 24% of revenues during fiscal 2007 and 2006. Sales and marketing expenses were $3,494,926 during fiscal 2007, representing a decrease of $300,633 or 8% compared to sales and marketing expenses of $3,795,559 in fiscal 2006. The decrease in sales and marketing expenses were primarily the result of vacant sales positions during the year at various times.

 

General and Administrative Expenses

 

General and administrative expenses accounted for 12% and 11% of revenues in fiscal 2007 and 2006, respectively. Expenses were $1,684,751 during fiscal 2007, representing a decrease of $11,396 or 1% compared to expenses of $1,696,147 during fiscal 2006.

 

Research and Development Expenses

 

Research and development expenses accounted for 11% of revenues during fiscal 2007 and 10% during fiscal 2006. Expenses were $1,631,220 during 2007, representing an increase of $15,462 or 1% compared to expenses of $1,615,758 during 2006. During 2007, we focused our research and development efforts on new digital image capture products. We expect our research and development expenditures to increase. Outside consultants and MediVision currently conduct most of our research and development.

 

Other Income (Expense), net

 

Other income was $141,104 during 2007 compared to $75,852 during 2006. The 2007 and 2006 amounts were comprised primarily of interest income, offset by fees paid to facilitate third-party financing arrangements for certain customers in connection with sales of our products.

 

The financing arrangements are the result of tri-party arrangements with our customers and an intermediary lender. In substance, these transactions allow the customer to obtain financing from an intermediary lender to pay amounts due to us. We incur these financing costs to expedite payment and lessen the necessary collection efforts. In these transactions, we record fee expense for the difference between the face value of the receivable due from our customer and the discounted amount that we accept as full payment from the intermediary lender.

 

Income Taxes

 

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 available information to use the remaining net operating losses of $539,855 when assessing the amount of deferred tax assets that are more likely than not to be used. We had no net operating loss carryforward for California state income tax purposes at December 31, 2007.

At December 31, 2007 and 2006, management reviewed recent operating results and projected future operating results. On each of these dates, management determined that it was more-likely-than-not that a portion of the deferred tax assets attributable to net operating losses would not be realized. Due to our limited history of profitable operations, management recorded a valuation allowance of $1,359,000 and $2,085,000 at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. In 2007, we determined that we will be able to use six years of capped net operating losses in the future and projected taxable income in 2008. In 2007, we did not have enough information to look beyond the year 2014 in determining the amount of deferred tax assets that will more-likely-than-not to be used. The amount of the valuation allowance will be adjusted in the future if management determines that it is more -likely -than -not the deferred assets will be realized.

 

In 2006, we used $175,000 of the tax credit carryforward for federal purposes. We do not have a net operating loss carryforward for state income tax purposes.

 

Net Income

 

We reported net income of $1,552,616, or $0.09 basic and diluted earnings per share during 2007 compared to net income of $2,250,759, or $0.14 basic earnings per share and $0.13 diluted earnings per share during 2006. Earnings per share is calculated in accordance with SFAS 128. (See Item 8. Financial Statements, Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Earnings per Share.) The results of operations for 2007 reflect the softening in demand for our digital imaging equipment which began in the second half of 2007.

 

Export Sales

 

Revenues from sales to customers located outside of the United States accounted for approximately 5% of our net sales for 2007 and 2006. Sales to MediVision, included in these totals, accounted for approximately 78% or $608,000 and 47% or $376,000 of our export sales for 2007 and 2006, respectively.

 

Balance Sheet

 

Our assets decreased by $3,015,139 as of December 31, 2008 as compared to the December 31, 2007. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in cash and equivalents of $5,405,659, decrease in deferred tax asset of $1,342,000, decrease in accounts receivable of $837,750 as a result of a decrease in sales and more efficient collection efforts, offset by an increase in notes receivable from MediVision of $1,731,362, an increase in inventory of $460,391 due to less sales than anticipated, an increase in AcerMed asset purchase of $479,262, an increase in merger capitalization costs of $519,720, an increase in imaging software of $424,244 and an increase in capitalized software development at Abraxas of $1,150,831.

 

34

 

 


 

Our liabilities decreased by $389,249 mainly due to the partial repayment of the convertible notes dated October 29, 2007.

 

Our stockholders’ equity decreased by $2,625,890 primarily due to the net loss from fiscal 2008 of $2,465,805 and the decrease in additional paid-in capital related to the warrants from the financing agreement with the qualified institutional buyers of $190,138. (For more information on these warrants and the financing agreement, see Item 8. Financial Statements, Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 5. Notes Payable.) The decrease in additional paid in capital is a result of a change in the fair market value of the detachable warrants in the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation model. The most significant cause for the change in the Black-Scholes-Merton model was due to the decrease of our stock price between 2007 and 2008.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

In May 2003, the Company entered into a $150,000 line of credit agreement with Wells Fargo. The line is secured by a pledged deposit with the bank totaling $158,031 at December 31, 2008. Advances on the line bear interest at prime (3.25% at December 31, 2008) with interest due monthly. The line matures on May 10, 2011.

 

Our operating activities used cash of $278,726 during 2008 as compared to generating cash of $639,614 during 2007. The cash used by operations during 2008 was substantially due to the net loss for the period of $2,465,805 and purchases of inventory of $460,391, offset by an increase in deferred warranty revenue of $306,509, a decrease in our deferred tax asset of $1,342,000 and a decrease in accounts receivable of $837,750.

 

Net cash used in investing activities was $4,536,590 during 2008 versus $1,975,018 during 2007. Our primary investing activities in 2008 consisted of costs related to the pending merger with MediVision of $519,720, advances to MediVision of $1,731,362, the acquisition of the AcerMed software asset of $479,262, development of imaging software of $424,244, software development capitalization of $1,150,831 and capital asset acquisitions such as software upgrades, laptops, testing cameras, and perquisites for executives of $178,124.

 

We used cash of $590,343 in financing activities during 2008 as compared to generating cash of $2,801,831 during 2007. The cash used in financing activities during 2008 was primarily for partial payment of the principal on outstanding convertible notes dated October 29, 2007. The cash generated in financing activities during 2007 was principally from the proceeds we received upon issuance of convertible notes dated October 29, 2007 to certain accredited investors.

 

On December 31, 2008, our cash and cash equivalents were $2,224,625. 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.

35

 

 


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 2008 and is expected to continue to do so in 2009. Our sales have been affected physicians’ hesitation to purchase capital equipment in the current economic climate. 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.

 

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have a Secured 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 Debenture, we guaranteed the payment of all the debts and liabilities of MediVision to United Mizrahi Bank. The Debenture is secured by a first lien on all of our assets. MediVision pledged 1,321,200 shares of our common stock to us in order to secure the Debenture. The amount owed to the financial institutions by MediVision and secured by us as of December 31, 2008 was approximately $1,700,000.

We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Ophthalmic Imaging Systems and subsidiary (the "Company") as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2008. These financial consolidated statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Ophthalmic Imaging Systems and subsidiary as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2008, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

As disclosed in Note 1, as of December 31, 2008, Ophthalmic Imaging Systems capitalized $1,047,047 of costs related to a proposed merger with MediVision, Inc. The merger was formally terminated on March 16, 2009. As a result, and in conjunction with the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 141(R), the Company expensed these costs in 2009 on a retrospective basis.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 

 

Organization and 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 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”), reached an agreement to purchase substantially all of the assets of AcerMed, Inc., a leading software developer for Electronic Medical Records (EMR) and Practice Management (PM) software. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of OIS and Abraxas. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 

 

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.

 

We evaluate our reporting segments in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information (“SFAS 131”). Our Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) has been determined as the Chief Operating Decision Maker as defined by SFAS 131. The CFO allocates resources to Abraxas based on its business prospects, competitive factors, net sales and operating results.

 

The following presents our financial information by segment for the year ended December 31, 2008:

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 2007 revenues include approximately $200,000 due to a change in estimate related to our rebate program.  

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 according to SFAS No. 48. 

 

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.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
 

 

 

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 risk 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, 2008, the Company had deposits with carrying amounts of $2,224,625 and bank balances of $1,950,279. Federally insured balances totaled $510,000 and uninsured balances totaled $1,440,279 at December 31, 2008.
 

 

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, 2008 or 2007.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 

 

 

Revenues from sales to customers located outside of the United States accounted for approximately 7% and 5% of net sales during the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, 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:

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
 

 

We capitalize software development costs in accordance with applicable accounting rules and regulations, including Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86 Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed (“SFAS 86”).

In 2008, we capitalized our EMR, PM and Scheduling software that we acquired from AcerMed through the bankruptcy court. SFAS 86 requires that purchased computer software to be sold, leased or otherwise marketed must be capitalized when the software is acquired. This software was purchased and will be sold, leased or marketed upon modification by our research and development team. In accordance with SFAS 86, we have also capitalized the research and development costs incurred to prepare this software for sale. To date we have capitalized $570,077 for this software. Pursuant to SFAS 86, research and development costs are to be capitalized once technological feasibility is established. We believe this software is technologically feasible because we are modifying a model/prototype that had been in the market before our acquisition. The amount of research and development we capitalized in connection with this software as of December 31, 2008 was $1,150,831.
 

In 2008, we also capitalized the costs associated with the development of a web-based software. According to SFAS 86, technological feasibility is established upon completion of a detailed program design of the finished product or, in its absence, upon completion of a working model. We currently have both a working prototype and a program design of the finished product. As of December 31, 2008, we have capitalized $424,244 of costs incurred in connection with the development of this software.

Revenue Recognition
 

 

The Company’s revenue recognition policies are in compliance with applicable accounting rules and regulations, including Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104 (“SAB 104”), Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements, American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“AICPA”) Statement of Position (“SOP”) 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, SOP 98-9, Modification of SOP 97-2, with Respect to Certain Transactions and Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 00-21, Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables.
 

 

Under EITF 00-21, 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 contract period.
 

 

Revenue for product shipment 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. Upon review, we concluded that 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. We defer 100% of the revenue from sales shipped during the period that we believe may be uncollectible.
 

 

Installation revenue is recognized when 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 are 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 a quote/purchase order with payment terms specified for the whole order. Occasionally, we have customers who require specific acceptance tests and accordingly, we do not recognize such revenue until these specific tests are met.

Warranty Reserve
 

 

 

Our warranty reserve contains two components, a general product reserve on a per product basis and specific reserves created as we become aware of system performance issues. The product reserve is calculated based on a fixed dollar amount per system 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, factoring in the hardware costs of 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 $58,485 and $84,040, for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
 

 

Income Taxes
 

 

Deferred taxes are calculated on a 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 making this determination, we analyze our operating results for the prior two years, combined with our forecasted operating results for the next fiscal year, as well as the market conditions, and assess the amount of our deferred tax asset that we will more-likely-than-not be able to use in the future.


 In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN 48”), an interpretation of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (“SFAS 109”). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS 109. FIN 48 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, FIN 48 provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.

 

 

The provisions of FIN 48 were adopted on January 1, 2007 and were applied to all of our tax positions. Only tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold on January 1, 2007 were recognized or continue to be recognized. We previously recognized income tax positions based on management’s estimate of whether it was reasonably possible that a liability had been incurred for unrecognized income tax benefits by applying FASB Statement No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies. The adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flow.

 

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, 2008 and 2007, 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.
 

 

Earnings (Loss) Per Share
 

 

Basic earnings (loss) per share (EPS), which excludes dilution, is computed by dividing income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS 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 EPS. The Company currently is in a loss position and does not calculate diluted earnings per share.
 

 

Stock Based Compensation
 

 

On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123(R), Share-Based Payments (“SFAS 123(R)”), which addresses the accounting for stock-based payment transactions whereby an entity receives employee services in exchange for equity instruments, including stock options. SFAS 123(R) requires that stock based compensation transactions be accounted for using a fair-value based method. The Company issues new shares of common stock upon the exercise of stock options.

Stock Based Compensation (Continued)
 

 

The Company uses a Black-Scholes-Merton option valuation model to determine the fair value of stock-based compensation under SFAS 123(R). 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). The Company accounted for such securities in accordance with APB 14, Accounting for Convertible Debt and Debt Issued with Stock Purchase Warrants (“APB 14”), and EITF 00-27, Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments (“EITF 00-27”).

 

According to APB 14, detachable warrants often trade separately from the debt instrument and therefore may be treated as separate securities. This pronouncement also states that the allocation of the debt and the warrants should be done on a relative fair value basis at the time of issuance and the portion allocated to the warrants should be accounted for as paid-in capital. The Company used the Black-Scholes-Merton option valuation model to calculate the fair value of the warrants at the time of issuance (assumptions used are displayed in table below).

 

According to EITF 00-27, the effective conversion price based on the proceeds received for or allocated to the convertible instrument should be used to compute the intrinsic value, if any, of the embedded conversion option. As a result of this consensus, an issuer should first allocate the proceeds received in a 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 Issue 98-5 model should be applied to the amount allocated to the convertible instrument, and an effective conversion price should be calculated and used to measure the intrinsic value, if any, of the embedded conversion option. We adjust for the changes in the Black-Scholes-Merton option valuation model at each reporting period.

Impact of New Financial Accounting Statements
 

 

Financial Accounting Pronouncement SFAS 157
 

 

In December 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) released Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”). This statement defines fair value in accordance with U.S. GAAP and expands the required disclosures about fair value measurements. This definition applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements and is intended to increase consistency and comparability. This statement was adopted as of January 1, 2008. The adoption of SFAS157 did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 

 

Financial Accounting Pronouncement SFAS 159
 

 

In February 2007, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. (“SFAS 159”), which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. This Statement permits all entities to choose, at specified election dates, to measure eligible items at fair value (the “fair value option”). A business entity shall report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings (or another performance indicator if the business entity does not report earnings) at each subsequent reporting date. Upfront costs and fees related to items for which the fair value option is elected must be recognized in earnings as incurred and not deferred. This Statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. The adoption of SFAS 159 did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows and the Company did not elect the fair value option for any items.
 

 

Financial Accounting Pronouncement SFAS 141(R)
 
In December 2007, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations (“SFAS 141(R)”), 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. SFAS 141(R) is effective for all business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after January 1, 2009. Earlier adoption is prohibited. This standard will change the accounting treatment for business combinations on a prospective basis. We believe that the adoption of FASB 141(R) will have a material impact on our financial position and results of operations as disclosed below.

In 2007 and 2008, we capitalized $1,047,047 of costs related to the proposed merger with MediVision in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, Business Combinations. Upon adoption of SFAS 141(R), we must expense these costs. To comply with SFAS 141(R) we have retroactively calculated our consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2007 and 2008 and our consolidated statements of operations and consolidated cash flow statements for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2008. Next year, 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 will also report merger-related costs as expensed for comparative purposes. Beginning in 2009, we will expense, 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 2007 and 2008 consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2008 is $527,327 and $519,720, respectively, as shown below:

On October 29, 2007, we issued to certain accredited investors or qualified institutional buyers (i) an aggregate of $2,750,000 in principal amount of our 6.5% Convertible Notes Due April 30, 2010, 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.

 

The Company used APB 14 and EITF 00-27 to record the convertible debt. This treatment of convertible debt and detachable warrants produces an allocation of the fair market value of the notes and the warrants and calculates an effective interest rate due to the inclusion of the warrants. As a result, the Company allocated $191,104 to paid-in-capital and to the discount of the note. This discount reflects the result of the effective interest rate due to the warrants and will be recalculated on a quarterly basis using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model. As of December 31, 2008, the following weighted average assumptions were used: dividend yield none, expected volatility of 58.53%, risk-free interest rate of 3.53%, and expected term of 3.83 years. As of December 31, 2008, there was $966 of additional paid-in-capital, and $192 of discount related to the warrants. During 2008, the Company paid $89,375 of interest due on the note. There were no conversions or principal payments made during 2008. The remaining principal balance due on the note is $2,098,640, or $2,098,448 net of the discount. In 2007, $20,475 of the discount was amortized to interest expense, leaving a remaining balance of $170,629 as of December 31, 2007. During 2007, the Company paid $30,785 of interest due on the note. There were no conversions or principal payments made during 2007. The remaining principal balance due on the note as of December 31, 2007 was $2,750,000, or $2,579,371 net of the discount.

Loans

 

Pursuant to the License and Distribution Agreement, as amended, dated June 28, 2006, we agreed to loan MediVision up to $1,600,000 in principal for engineering the Electro-Optical Unit. The loan incurs interest of 8% per annum and repayment will commence on May 1, 2010. Repayments will be made in 36 equal payments, payable on the first of each month. The monthly payment will be calculated based on the amount of principal outstanding on April 30, 2010. Upon a default under the License and Distribution Agreement, as amended, or the related promissory note or security agreement, the principal and interest outstanding on the loan will become immediately due and payable. If MediVision defaults on its repayment obligation, we may seek repayment by foreclosing on the shares pledged as collateral or, alternatively, we have the option to receive a portion of MediVision’s ownership interest in any patent rights relating to the Electro-Optical Unit. The largest aggregate amount of principal outstanding under this License and Distribution Agreement during fiscal 2008 and as of March 14, 2009 was $1,503,460. MediVision did not make any payments on the principal or interest outstanding during fiscal 2008.

On January 30, 2008, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with MediVision whereby we agreed to lend to MediVision up to $200,000 upon their request for working capital. From January 30, 2008 through December 31, 2008, we entered into a series of addendums to the Loan and Security Agreement to provide additional financing for working capital. As of December 31, 2008, we agreed to loan MediVision up to $1,200,000 of principal. The interest on this note accrues at 8% per annum and is secured by MediVision’s shares in OIS common stock. The largest aggregate amount of principal outstanding under this Loan and Security Agreement during fiscal 2008 and as of March 14, 2009 was $1,200,000.

 

Under the License and Distribution Agreement and the Loan and Security Agreement, MediVision has pledged as collateral an aggregate amount of 2,472,252 shares of our common stock owned by MediVision, and 63% of CCS shares also owned by MediVision.

Merger

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 Merger Sub will merge with and into MediVision (the “Merger”), 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 have capitalized the direct costs associated with the Merger. As of December 31, 2008, these costs have accumulated to $1,047,047.

Intercompany Transactions

Pursuant to a Research and Development Services Agreement dated January 1, 2004, we agreed to pay 112% of research and development costs incurred in connection with MediVision’s development of WinStation software, which is used to diagnose and treat retinal diseases and other ocular pathologies. We also agreed not to receive research and development services relating to the WinStation software from other parties without MediVision’s prior written consent. The initial term of the Services Agreement is for two years, to be automatically renewed for additional 12 month periods. The Services Agreement may be terminated by either party upon 6 months prior written notice. Certain terms of the Services Agreement survive termination, including, among others: (1) for 24 months after termination, MediVision agrees to not engage or participate in any business, anywhere in the world, that competes directly with the WinStation or OIS, (2) for 18 months after termination, OIS agrees to not engage or participate in any business, anywhere in the world, that competes directly with MediVision, and (3) for 12 months, generally, neither party may employ any employees, contractors, or directors of the other party or interfere with the other party’s existing business or customer contracts. During fiscal 2008, under this Services Agreement, we paid MediVision $1,888,888 for research and development services.

 

 

 

 

Pursuant to a Distribution Agreement, as amended, dated January 1, 2004, we appointed MediVision to be our exclusive distributor of certain products in Europe, Africa, Israel and India (the “MV Territory”). Under the agreement, MediVision must purchase the specified quota of the products as listed in the agreement. If MediVision fails to satisfy its quota obligation, this constitutes a breach and we may terminate the exclusivity provision. In satisfying the quota, MediVision purchases are aggregated with CCS’s purchases. CCS is a German subsidiary of MediVision. The initial term of the Distribution Agreement was for two years, which automatically renews in one-year periods. Either party may terminate the Distribution Agreement with at least 6 months prior written notice. The amount of products MediVision may purchase on credit for distribution under this agreement is limited to $450,000. During fiscal 2008 and 2007, MediVision purchased approximately $597,000 ($823,000 combined with CCS purchases) and $608,000 ($778,000 combined with CCS purchases). For the sale of WinStation products under this Distribution Agreement, MediVision receives a tiered volume discount based on the amount ordered. The 2008 volume discounts are summarized in the table below. These volume discounts apply uniformly to all distributors of our WinStation products.

Under a License and Distribution Agreement, as amended, dated June 28, 2006, MediVision appointed us to be its exclusive distributor of a new digital imaging system, the Electro-Optical Unit, in the Americas and the Pacific Rim (excluding China and India). In return, we paid $273,808. We also agreed to pay cash advances totaling $460,000 based on, among other things, the completion of certain phases of development of the Electro-Optical Unit. The advanced funds will be recovered as we purchase Electro-Optical Units in the future. As of December 31, 2008, we paid MediVision an aggregate of $460,000 in cash advances. Cash payments made under this agreement for exclusive distribution rights have been capitalized and will be amortized over the term of the agreement upon the sale of the first unit. We also granted MediVision a license to use our OIS WinStation software and any other applicable OIS system and the accompanying intellectual property rights therein. The initial term of the agreement is for ten years, which will be automatically renewed in one-year periods. Either party may terminate the agreement with at least 6 months prior written notice, provided that, we meet the purchase quota. Originally, we agreed on specified quotas which mandated that we purchase a minimum number of the Electro-Optical Units each year. On December 31, 2007, we amended the agreement to terminate the mandatory quota.

 

As of December 31, 2008, we recorded approximately $450,000 and $2,878,000 due from MediVision for accounts receivable and notes receivable, respectively. Sales derived from product shipments to MediVision are made at transfer pricing which is based on similar volume discounts that would be available to other resellers or distributors of our products.

 

 

 

 

As of March 14, 2009 and December 31, 2008, MediVision held 9,380,843 shares of our common stock or 56% of our outstanding common stock. Of these amounts, MediVision has pledged to us an aggregate of 3,793,452 shares of our common stock, as well as the 63% of shares of CCS that they own, as of March 14, 2009 and December 31, 2008.

Under the Distribution Agreement with CCS, dated February 14, 2006, we appointed CCS as our exclusive distributor of certain products in Germany and Austria (the “Territory”). Under the agreement, CCS must purchase the specified quota of Distribution Products. If CCS fails to satisfy its quota obligation, this constitutes a breach and OIS may terminate the exclusivity provision. The quota for 2008 and 2007 was $390,000. All subsequent quotas will be agreed upon between the parties at the beginning of each year. If no quota is agreed upon, the preceding year’s quota will carry forward. For the sale of certain products, CCS will receive a tiered volume discount based on the amount ordered. The discounts for 2008 are summarized in the table below. The initial term of the Distribution Agreement was for two years, which now automatically renews in one-year periods. Either party may terminate the agreement with at least 3 months prior written notice.

Our net research and development expenditures in the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 were approximately $2,644,000 and $1,631,000, respectively. In 2008, we capitalized $424,244 of the costs associated with the development of a web-based software.

 

In 2008, MediVision and other outsourced consultants conducted most of our research and development. MediVision performed our research and development pursuant to a Research and Development Services Agreement dated January 1, 2004. Under this agreement, MediVision agreed to use its best efforts to develop the WinStation software in accordance with our specifications included therein. We, in turn, agreed to pay, in monthly payments, 112% of MediVision’s research and development costs incurred in connection with developing the WinStation software. The initial term of the agreement is for two years, to be automatically renewed for additional 12 month periods unless terminated by either party upon 6 months prior written notice. The agreement is exclusive in that during the effective period we may not receive research and development services relating to the WinStation software from other parties without MediVision’s prior written consent. Also under the agreement, MediVision must obtain our written approval prior to incurring any new research and development expenses in connection with the development of WinStation software. Moreover, the parties agreed to render to each other, all reasonable assistance in obtaining any regulatory approvals required in connection with the WinStation software or any other results of the research and development services performed under the agreement. The parties also agreed that upon termination, (1) for 12 months, each party must maintain insurance reasonable to cover its liabilities, (2) for 24 months, MediVision agrees to not engage or participate in any business, anywhere in the world, that competes directly with the WinStation or OIS, unless mutually agreed, (3) for 18 months, OIS agrees to not engage or participate in any business, anywhere in the world, that competes directly with MediVision, unless mutually agreed, and (4) for 12 months, generally, neither party may employ any employees, contractors, or directors of the other party or interfere with the other party’s existing business or customer contracts, unless mutually agreed.

 

In January 2009, we transitioned part of MediVision’s WinStation and Symphony research and development team to our corporate office in Sacramento, California to be OIS employees, thereby streamlining our research and development efforts.

At December 31, 2008, we have four active stock-based compensation plans (the “Plans”). Options granted under these plans generally have a term of ten years from the date of grant unless otherwise specified in the option agreement. 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 2008, we determined that we will more-likely-than-not be unable 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 in 2008 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.

INCOME TAXES (Continued)

 

At December 31, 2008 and 2007, management reviewed recent operating results and projected futureoperating results, as well as the current conditions in the global economy and medical industry. Oneach 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” above.

 

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 surmise 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.

 

We do not currently allocate our taxes between us and our subsidiary, Abraxas, due to the immaterial impact of Abraxas on our tax provision.

Operating Leases
 

 

The Company leases its corporate headquarters and manufacturing facility under a cancellable operating lease that expires in June 2012. The lease agreement provides for minimum lease payments of $110,991 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2009, $143,109 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010, $143,109 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011, and $71,555 for the six months ended June 30, 2012.

On October 29, 2007, we entered into a Purchase Agreement with The Tail Wind Fund and Solomon Strategic Holdings, Inc. Within this agreement, there were warrants issued to purchase an aggregate of 616,671 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $1.87 per share. 526,973 of the warrants were issued to The Tail Wind Fund and 89,698 were issued to Solomon Strategic Holdings, Inc. These warrants expire on December 10, 2012.

 

The 313,000 warrants outstanding as of January 1, 2008 and December 31, 2008 were issued in conjunction with the debt offerings for Laurus Master Fund. The debt related to Laurus Master Fund was completely paid with cash or converted into shares as of December 31, 2006. These warrants expire on April 27, 2009.

 

There were an aggregate of 929,671 warrants outstanding and exercisable as of December 31, 2008 with a weighted average remaining contractual life of 2.72 years, a weighted average exercise price of $1.79. There is no intrinsic value of warrants outstanding at December 31, 2008.

 

According to EITF 00-27, the effective conversion price based on the proceeds received for or allocated to the convertible instrument should be used to compute the intrinsic value, if any, of the embedded conversion option. As a result of this consensus, an issuer should first allocate the proceeds received in a 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 Issue 98-5 model should be applied to the amount allocated to the convertible instrument, and an effective conversion price should be calculated and used to measure the intrinsic value, if any, of the embedded conversion option. We adjust for the changes in the Black-Scholes-Merton option valuation model at each reporting period.

 

The impact of this adjustment to our 2008 financial statements is a decrease to interest expense of $19,701, a decrease to the discount on the note of $170,436 and a decrease to additional paid in capital of $190,138.

ACERMED ASSET PURCHASE
 

 

In January 2008, the Company reached an agreement to purchase, through its newly established subsidiary, Abraxas Medical Solutions, Inc., substantially all of the assets of AcerMed, Inc., a leading software developer for Electronic Medical Records (EMR) and Practice Management software. The transaction was approved by the California Central Bankruptcy Court. As of December 31, 2008, we capitalized $570,077 of costs associated with this purchase consisting primarily of direct legal expenses.
 

 

The aggregate cost to acquire substantially all the assets of AcerMed was $604,509. During 2007, we incurred legal and due diligence expenses of $104,509 in connection with the acquisition, which we capitalized as a cost of acquiring AcerMed’s assets. In 2008, we also paid $500,000 to the courts, as AcerMed was in Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings, to purchase the assets of AcerMed. The book value of the assets purchased was $34,432, which we allocated to fixed assets. We attributed the remaining $465,568 to intangible assets.
 

We determined that our purchase price of $500,000 constituted the fair value of these assets based on the fact that other potential buyers were willing to purchase these assets for approximately the same amount. The bankruptcy court overseeing AcerMed’s bankruptcy proceeding at the time also reviewed the final bid and determined that it constituted a fair price for the assets and approved the acquisition. This is consistent with recognizing intangible assets at an estimated fair value in accordance with paragraphs 37 and 39 of SFAS 141.
 

Based on SFAS 142 Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets and SFAS 141, we determined that the software applications acquired have an indefinite useful life and, therefore, pursuant to SFAS 142, are amortized until we determine that their useful life is no longer indefinite. We will evaluate the software applications for impairment on an ongoing basis consistent with SFAS 142.

On March 16, 2009, we entered into a Termination Agreement with MediVision pursuant to which the Merger Agreement was terminated. This qualifies as subsequent event based because it is new information that was not known on December 31, 2008.

Controls and Procedures

 

Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

As of December 31, 2008, 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 are 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 that evaluation, these officers concluded that, as of December 31, 2008, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

 

Management's Annual 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 principal executive and principal financial officers 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 principal executive officer and principal financial officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008 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.

 

37

 


 

Based on that evaluation, management of the Company has concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008 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.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2008 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to material effect our internal controls over financial reporting
