Unless the context otherwise
requires, the term the we, our, or us as used herein means OSI Systems, Inc., a California corporation, and its subsidiaries.
We are a vertically integrated, worldwide provider of security and inspection systems such as security x-ray scanners and metal detectors and medical devices. We also design and manufacture
optoelectronic devices and value-added subsystems for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) for use in a broad range of applications, including security, medical diagnostics, fiber optics, telecommunications, gaming, office automation,
aerospace and defense electronics, computer peripherals and industrial automation.
We manufacture security and
inspection systems and market them worldwide to end users under the Rapiscan®,
Secure and Metor brand names. These products are used to inspect people, baggage, cargo and other objects for weapons, explosives, drugs and other contraband. In the medical field, we manufacture and sell bone densitometers,
which are used to provide bone density measurements in the diagnosis of osteoporsis, or to provide an early age indication of the potential for later development of osteoporosis. We also manufacture and sell saturation of arterial hemoglobin
(SpO2) monitors and sensors, including hand-held monitoring tools under the trade names
Dolphin ONE, Aristo and Dolphin 2000. Dolphin model 2100 SpO2 monitors have received 510[k] approval for sale in
the United States.
In fiscal 2002, revenues from the sale of security and inspection products amounted to $73.4
million, or approximately 59.1% of our revenues, while revenues from the sale of optoelectronic devices and subsystems and medical imaging and monitoring systems amounted to $50.8 million, or approximately 40.9% of our revenues.
Business Overview
Our security products and medical imaging and monitoring systems are sold primarily to end-users, while our optoelectronic devices and subsystems are designed and manufactured primarily for sale to OEMs.
Security and Inspection Products. A variety of products are currently used worldwide in security and
inspection applications. These products include single energy x-ray equipment, dual energy x-ray equipment, metal detectors, trace detection systems that detect particulate and chemical traces of explosive materials, computed tomography
(CT) scanners, x-ray machines employing backscatter detection technology, and cargo inspection systems using x-rays or gamma rays. We believe that the growth in the market for security and inspection products will continue to be driven
by the increased perception of threat fueled by terrorist incidents, increased government mandates and appropriations, and the emergence of a growing market for the non-security applications of its products such as customs manifest verification and
agricultural products inspection.
In the 1970s, principally in response to civilian airline hijackings, the U.S.
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) established security standards by setting guidelines for the screening of carry-on baggage for weapons such as guns and knives. These standards were later mandated by the United Nations for adoption
by all of its member states. We believe that to date the imposition of these standards has resulted in the installation of over 10,000 x-ray inspection systems in airports worldwide. Additionally, the United Kingdom Department of Transport has
required the United Kingdoms commercial airports to deploy systems for 100% screening of international checked baggage since the end of 1998, and the European Civil Aviation Conference, an organization of 33 member states, has agreed to
implement 100% screening of international checked baggage in the future.
In the United States, largely in
response to the explosion of Pan Am Flight 103 in December 1988, Congress enacted the Aviation Security Improvement Act of 1990, which, among other initiatives, directed the FAA to establish and implement strict security measures and to deploy
advanced technology for the detection of explosives. In July 1996, President Clinton formed the
1
White House Commission on Aviation Safety and Security (the Gore Commission) to review airline and airport security and to oversee aviation safety. In response to the initial report
released by the Gore Commission, the United States enacted legislation that included $144 million in appropriations for the initial deployment of advanced security and inspection technology at major U.S. airports. A portion of this funding is
allocated for TIP Ready X-ray (TRX) systems at security checkpoints throughout the nation.
The terrorist attacks
on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon using hijacked airliners has led to nation-wide shifts in air and ground transportation security, and facilities security policies, including passage of the Aviation and Transportation Security Act, and the
potential integration of all U.S. domestic security-related agencies into a single umbrella department. The Aviation and Transportation Security Act, enacted in November 2001, requires that U.S. airports screen all checked baggage for explosives.
These changes have caused an increase in security measures, which in turn has resulted, and will likely continue to result, in an increase in sales of our security and inspection products as compared to pre-September 11, 2001 levels.
We are currently participating in the Federal Aviation Administrations Safe Skies program, through which the FAA is
improving global aviation security by purchasing airport safety equipment, including our x-ray systems, and providing such equipment to countries around the world through gifts. We began our participation in this program in fiscal 2003.
X-ray inspection equipment, such as that sold by us, is also increasingly being used for a number of purposes not
related to security. Newer versions of x-ray inspection equipment combine x-ray inspection with computer image enhancement capabilities and can be applied to various non-security purposes such as the detection of narcotics, gold and currency, the
inspection of agricultural products, and the inspection of cargo by customs officers and international shippers. The Aviation and Transportation Security Act requires that U.S. airports screen all checked baggage for explosives. We do not currently
market explosives detection systems, but we anticipate entering the market for such products.
General trends
toward increased international trade and international transportation of goods and people have led to an increase in demand for cargo, port and border inspection technologies. We currently market cargo, port and border inspection systems through
Rapiscan's Cargo Inspection Group, including projects currently underway in Hong Kong, Romania, Malaysia and Korea.
Optoelectronic Devices and Subsystems. Optoelectronic devices consist of both active components, such as silicon photodiodes that sense light of varying wavelengths and convert the light detected
into electronic signals, and passive components, such as lenses, prisms, filters and mirrors. An optoelectronic subsystem typically consists of one or more optoelectronic devices that are combined with other electronic components for integration
into an end-product. Optoelectronic devices and subsystems, and medical imaging systems are used for a wide variety of applications ranging from simple functions, such as the detection of paper in the print path of a laser printer, to complex
monitoring, measurement or positioning functions, such as in industrial robotics where the subsystem is used to detect the exact position, motion or size of another object. Because optoelectronic devices and subsystems can be used in a wide variety
of measurement control and monitoring applications, optoelectronics may be used in a broad array of industrial applications. Optoelectronic devices also are key components in the telecommunications and fiber optics market.
We believe that in recent years, advances in technology and reductions in the cost of key components of optoelectronic systems, including
computer processing power and memory, have broadened the market by enabling the use of optoelectronic devices in a greater number of applications. In addition, we believe that there is a trend among OEMs to increasingly outsource the design and
manufacture of optoelectronic subsystems to fully-integrated, independent manufacturers who may have greater specialization, broader expertise, and the ability and flexibility to respond in shorter time periods than the OEM could accomplish
in-house. We believe that our high level of vertical integration, substantial engineering resources, expertise in the use and application of optoelectronic technology, and low-cost international manufacturing operations enable it to compete in the
market for optoelectronic devices and subsystems.
2
Through a majority-owned subsidiary, RapiTec, Inc., we have penetrated the
worldwide weapons simulation market through system engineering, product development, rapid prototyping, and volume manufacturing for state-of-the-art, laser-based training systems for the defense industry.
We have developed high-speed silicon photodiodes for use in fiber optic systems such as Gigabit Ethernet and Fiber Channel systems. These
products can replace Gallium Arsenide products at about half the cost. We have developed a silicon-based fiber optic detector, which can achieve a 2.5 Gigabit/second data rate using 3.3 volts bias voltage. Through a wholly owned subsidiary, OSI
Fibercomm, Inc., we have launched a new family of Indium Gallium Arsenide photodetectors for use in a variety of network applications and long-haul communications applications, together with high-speed silicon-based detectors combined with
transimpedence amplifiers (TIA).
Medical Diagnostic and Imaging
Systems. We have expanded into medical diagnostic and imaging systems. We manufacture and distribute the DTX 200 (DEXACARE), a U.S. Food & Drug Administration approved forearm DEXA (Dual Energy X-Ray)densitometer,
which is used to diagnose osteoporosis as well as to provide follow-up bone density measurements. We also produce the ultrasound DTU-One, the first commercially available ultrasound scanner using imaging capability for the diagnosis of osteoporosis.
In September 2000, we received pre-market approval from the FDA to sell the DTU-One in the United States. We also received 510(k) approval from the FDA to sell its new dual energy x-ray based technology tabletop bone densitometer, DexaCare G4.
Dolphin Medical, Inc., our majority-owned subsidiary, designs and manufactures medical oximetry devices, both for
OEM arrangements and for sale under the Dolphin brand. Dolphin is currently developing next generation pulse oximeter instruments and probes for use in the medical and veterinary fields.

Investing in our common stock involves a significant degree of risk.
You should carefully consider the following risk factors and all the other information contained in this prospectus or incorporated by reference before investing in our common stock. If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business,
financial condition and results of operations could suffer, in which case the trading price of our common stock may decline.
Risks Related To Our Business
Fluctuations in our quarterly operating results may
cause our stock price to decline.
Given the nature of the markets in which we participate, we cannot
reliably predict future revenue and profitability. Changes in competitive, market and economic conditions may cause us to adjust our operations. A high proportion of our costs are fixed, due in part to our significant sales, research and
development, and manufacturing costs. Thus, small declines in revenue could disproportionately affect our operating results in a quarter. Factors that may affect our quarterly operating results and the market price of our common stock include:
|
|
|
demand for and market acceptance of our products; |
|
|
|
competitive pressures resulting in lower selling prices; |
|
|
|
adverse changes in the level of economic activity in regions in which we do business; |
|
|
|
adverse changes in industries, such as semiconductors and electronics, on which we are particularly dependent; |
|
|
|
changes in the portions of our revenue represented by our various products and customers; |
|
|
|
delays or problems in the introduction of new products; |
|
|
|
our competitors announcement or introduction of new products, services or technological innovations; |
|
|
|
variations in our product mix; |
|
|
|
the timing and amount of our expenditures in anticipation of future sales; |
|
|
|
increased costs of raw materials or supplies; and |
|
|
|
changes in the volume or timing of product orders. |
We face aggressive competition in many areas of our business. If we do not compete effectively, our business will be harmed.
We encounter aggressive competition from numerous competitors in many areas of our business. In the optoelectronic device and subsystem market and in the medical diagnostic
and imaging systems market, competition is based primarily on factors such as expertise in the design and development of optoelectronic devices, product quality, timeliness of delivery, price, customer technical support, and on the ability to
provide fully-integrated services from application development and design through volume subsystem production. In the security and inspection market, competition is based primarily on such factors as product performance, functionality and quality,
the over-all cost of the system, prior customer relationships, technological capabilities of the product, price, certification by government authorities, local market presence, and breadth of sales and service organization. We may not be able to
compete effectively with all of these competitors. To remain competitive, we must develop new products and periodically enhance our existing products in a timely manner. We anticipate that we may have to adjust prices of many of our products to stay
competitive. In addition, new competitors may emerge, and entire product lines may be threatened by new technologies or market trends that reduce the value of these product lines.
5
The September 11 terrorist attacks have increased financial expectations
that may not materialize.
The September 11 terrorist attacks have created increased interest in our
security and detection products; however, we are uncertain whether the level of demand will continue to be as high as anticipated. Additionally, it is uncertain what, if any solutions, will be adopted as a result of the terrorism and whether our
products will be a part of the ultimate solution. Additionally, should our products be considered as a part of the security solution, it is unclear what the level may be and how quickly funding to purchase our products may be made available. These
factors may adversely impact us and create unpredictability in revenues and operating results.
Our revenues
are dependent on orders in the security and inspection products category which has lengthy and unpredictable sales cycles.
Sales of security and inspection products depend in significant part upon the decision of governmental agencies to upgrade or expand existing airports, border crossing inspection sites and other security installations.
Accordingly, a portion of our sales of security inspection and detection products is often subject to delays associated with the lengthy approval processes that often accompany such capital expenditures. During these approval periods, we expend
significant financial and management resources in anticipation of future orders that may not occur. If we fail to receive an order after expending such resources, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and
results of operations.
If we do not introduce new products in a timely manner, our products could become
obsolete, and our operating results would suffer.
We sell many of our products in industries
characterized by rapid technological changes, frequent new product and service introductions and evolving industry standards. Without the timely introduction of new products and enhancements, our products could become technologically obsolete over
time, in which case our revenue and operating results would suffer. The success of our new product offerings will depend upon several factors, including our ability to:
|
|
|
accurately anticipate customer needs; |
|
|
|
innovate and develop new technologies and applications; |
|
|
|
successfully commercialize new technologies in a timely manner; |
|
|
|
price our products competitively and manufacture and deliver our products in sufficient volumes and on time; and |
|
|
|
differentiate our offerings from our competitors offerings. |
Some of our products are used by our customers to develop, test and manufacture their products. We therefore must anticipate industry trends and develop products in advance
of the commercialization of our customers products. In developing any new product, we may be required to make a substantial investment before we can determine the commercial viability of the new product. If we fail to accurately foresee our
customers needs and future activities, we may invest heavily in research and development of products that do not lead to significant revenue.
Interruptions to our ability to purchase raw materials and components may adversely affect our profitability.
We purchase certain raw materials and subcomponents from third parties pursuant to purchase orders placed from time to time. Purchase order terms range from three months to
one year at fixed costs, but we do not have guaranteed long-term supply arrangements with our suppliers. Any material interruption in our ability to purchase necessary raw materials or subcomponents could have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition and results of operations.
We may not be able to successfully implement our
acquisition strategy, integrate acquired businesses into our existing business or make acquired businesses profitable.
One of our strategies is to supplement our internal growth by acquiring businesses and technologies that complement or augment our existing product lines. This growth has placed, and may continue to place, significant demands on our
6
management, working capital and financial resources. We may be unable to identify or complete promising
acquisitions for many reasons, including:
|
|
|
competition among buyers; |
|
|
|
the need for regulatory approvals, including antitrust approvals; and |
|
|
|
the high valuations of businesses. |
Some of the businesses we may seek to acquire may be marginally profitable or unprofitable. For these acquired businesses to achieve acceptable levels of profitability, we must improve their
management, operations, products and market penetration. We may not be successful in this regard and may encounter other difficulties in integrating acquired businesses into our existing operations.
To finance our acquisitions, we may have to raise additional funds, through either public or private financings. We may be unable to
obtain such funds or may be able to do so only on unfavorable terms.
Economic, political and other risks
associated with international sales and operations could adversely affect our sales.
In fiscal 2000,
2001, and 2002, revenues from shipments made outside of the United States accounted for approximately 55.8%, 43.2% and 52.1%, respectively, of our revenues. Of the revenues generated during fiscal 2002 from shipments made to customers outside of the
United States, 30.7% represented sales from the United States to foreign customers, and the balance represented sales generated by our foreign subsidiaries. Since we sell our products worldwide, our businesses are subject to risks associated with
doing business internationally. We anticipate that revenue from international operations will continue to represent a substantial portion of our total revenue. In addition, many of our manufacturing facilities, employees and suppliers are located
outside the United States. Accordingly, our future results could be harmed by a variety of factors, including:
|
|
|
changes in foreign currency exchange rates; |
|
|
|
changes in a countrys or regions political or economic conditions, particularly in developing or emerging markets; |
|
|
|
longer payment cycles of foreign customers and difficulty of collecting receivables in foreign jurisdictions; |
|
|
|
trade protection measures and import or export licensing requirements; |
|
|
|
differing tax laws and changes in those laws; |
|
|
|
difficulty in staffing and managing widespread operations; |
|
|
|
differing labor laws and changes in those laws; |
|
|
|
differing protection of intellectual property and changes in that protection; and |
|
|
|
differing regulatory requirements and changes in those requirements. |
Our failure to protect our intellectual property could impair our competitive position.
We believe that our principal competitive strength is our ability to design, develop and manufacture complex optoelectronic devices and subsystems for various industry
segments. While we own certain patents and marks, other aspects of our business are not protected by patents or marks. Accordingly, there are no legal barriers that prevent potential competitors from copying certain of our products, processes and
technologies or from otherwise entering into operations in direct competition with us.
7
Our products may infringe on the intellectual property rights of others,
and resulting claims against us could be costly and prevent us from making or selling certain products.
Third parties may seek to claim that our products and operations infringe their patent or other intellectual property rights. We may incur significant expense in any legal proceedings to protect our proprietary rights or to defend
infringement claims by third parties. In addition, claims of third parties against us could result in awards of substantial damages or court orders that could effectively prevent us from making, using or selling our products in the U.S. or abroad.
A claim for damages could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operation.
Our business exposes us to potential product liability risks, particularly with respect to our security
and inspection products. There are many factors beyond our control that could lead to liability claims, including the failure of the products in which our subsystems are installed, the reliability of the customers operators of the inspection
equipment, and the maintenance of the inspection units by the customers. There can be no assurance that the amount of product liability insurance that we carry will be sufficient to protect us from product liability claims. A product liability claim
in excess of the amount of insurance we carry could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our ongoing success is dependent upon the continued availability of certain key employees.
We are dependent in our operations on the continued availability of the services of our employees, many of whom are individually key to our current and future success, and the availability of new
employees to implement our companys growth plans. In particular, we are dependent upon the services of Deepak Chopra, the Chairman of our Board of Directors, and our President and Chief Executive Officer. We have entered into a 5-year
employment agreement with Mr. Chopra, which expires in April 2007 and maintain a $13.0 million policy of key man life insurance on the life of Mr. Chopra. The market for skilled employees is highly competitive, especially for employees in technical
fields. While our compensation programs are intended to attract and retain the employees required for us to be successful, there can be no assurance that we will be able to retain the services of all of our key employees or a sufficient number to
execute on our plans, nor can there be any assurances that we will be able to continue to attract new employees as required.
Our failure to comply with environmental regulations may create significant environmental liabilities and force us to modify our manufacturing process.
We are subject to various federal, state and local environmental laws, ordinances and regulations relating to the use, storage, handling and disposal of certain hazardous
substances and wastes used or generated in the manufacturing and assembly of our products. Under such laws, we may become liable for the costs of removal or remediation of certain hazardous substances or wastes that have been or are being disposed
of offsite as wastes or that have been or are being released on or in our facilities. Such laws may impose liability without regard to whether we knew of, or caused, the release of such hazardous substances or wastes. Any failure by us to comply
with present or future regulations could subject us to the imposition of substantial fines, suspension of production, alteration of manufacturing processes or cessation of operations, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition and results of operations.
Changes in governmental regulations may reduce
demand for our products or increase our expenses.
We compete in markets in which we or our customers must
comply with federal, state, local and foreign regulations, such as environmental, health and safety and food and drug regulations. We develop, configure and market our products to meet customer needs created by these regulations. Any significant
change in these regulations could reduce demand for our products.
Risks Related To Our Capital Structure and Common Stock
Our officers and directors and stockholders affiliated with them own a large percentage of our voting
stock.
As of October 21, 2002, our directors and executive officers (including affiliates), in the
aggregate, beneficially owned approximately 10% of our outstanding common stock. Consequently, Scope Industries, together with our directors and executive officers acting in concert, will have the ability to significantly affect the
8
election of our directors and have a significant effect on the outcome of corporate actions requiring shareholder approval. Such concentration
may also have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control of our company.
Our articles of
incorporation and other agreements contain provisions that could discourage a takeover.
Our Articles of
Incorporation authorize our Board of Directors to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series, to fix the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions granted to or imposed upon any wholly unissued shares of preferred
stock, to fix the number of shares constituting any such series, and to fix the designation of any such series, without further vote or action by its shareholders. The terms of any series of preferred stock, which may include priority claims to
assets and dividends and special voting rights, could adversely affect the rights of the holders of common stock and thereby reduce the value of our common stock. We have no present plans to issue shares of preferred stock. The issuance of preferred
stock, coupled with the concentration of ownership in the directors and executive officers, could discourage certain types of transactions involving an actual or potential change in control of our company, including transactions in which the holders
of common stock might otherwise receive a premium for their shares over then current prices, otherwise dilute the rights of holders of common stock, and may limit the ability of such shareholders to cause or approve transactions which they may deem
to be in their best interests, all of which could have a material adverse effect on the market price of our common stock. We have in place a stockholder rights plan, adopted in 2000, under which our stockholders are entitled to purchase shares of
our preferred stock under certain circumstances. These circumstances include the purchase of 20% or more of the outstanding shares of common stock by a person or group, or the announcement of a tender or exchange offer to acquire 20% or more of the
outstanding common stock. The stockholder rights plan may have the effect of impeding or preventing certain types of transactions involving a change in control of our company which could be beneficial to the stockholders.
Our articles of incorporation limit the liability of our directors which may limit the remedies that we or our shareholders have
available.
Our Articles of Incorporation provide that, pursuant to the California Corporations Code, the
liability of our directors for monetary damages shall be eliminated to the fullest extent permissible under California law. This is intended to eliminate the personal liability of a director for monetary damages in an action brought by us, or in our
right, for breach of a directors duties to us or our shareholders and may limit the remedies available to us or our shareholders. This provision does not eliminate the directors fiduciary duty and does not apply for certain liabilities:
(i) for acts or omissions that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing and culpable violation of law; (ii) for acts or omissions that a director believes to be contrary to our best interests or our shareholders or that involve the absence of
good faith on the part of the director; (iii) for any transaction from which a director derived an improper personal benefit; (iv) for acts or omissions that show a reckless disregard for the directors duty to us or our shareholders in
circumstances in which the director was aware, or should have been aware, in the ordinary course of performing a directors duties, of a risk of serious injury to us or our shareholders; (v) for acts or omissions that constitute an unexcused
pattern of inattention that amounts to an abdication of the directors duty to us or our shareholders; (vi) with respect to certain transactions or the approval of transactions in which a director has a material financial interest; and (vii)
expressly imposed by statute for approval of certain improper distributions to shareholders or certain loans or guarantees.

The Selling Stockholders are selling the Stock and will receive
all of the proceeds from any sales. We will not receive any sales proceeds.
All of the Stock being offered in this prospectus is being offered
by the Selling Stockholders listed below. We have registered this offering because of registration rights we granted to the Selling Stockholders when we sold the Stock to them. The Selling Stockholders are not required to sell all or any of the
Stock. The Stock consists of 1,250,000 shares of common stock purchased by the Selling Stockholders in a private placement on October 21, 2002, together with 281,250 additional shares of our common stock issuable to the Selling Stockholders pursuant
to warrants purchased by them contemporaneously with the purchase of the common stock. The warrants have a 7-year term and are exercisable at a price of $21.217 per share. Under the terms of the warrants, the holders thereof may not exercise the
warrants to the extent such exercise would cause any such holder, together with its affiliates, to have acquired a number of shares of common stock that would exceed either 4.999% or 9.999% of our then outstanding common stock, excluding for
purposes of such determination shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants that have not been exercised. Such restrictions may be waived by such holder as to itself upon not less than 61 days notice to us.

Percentage of ownership for
each holder is calculated based on 14,083,293 shares of common stock deemed to be outstanding on October 21, 2002. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the SEC Rule 13d-3 and generally includes shares over which the holder has
voting or investment power, subject to community property laws. All shares of common stock obtainable upon conversion of securities or exercise of stock options or warrants (including those that are not currently exercisable but will become
exercisable within 60 days hereafter) are considered to be beneficially owned by the person holding the options or warrants for computing that persons percentage, but are not treated as outstanding for computing the percentage of any other
person.

The Selling Stockholders and any of their pledgees, assignees and
successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of Common Stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated
prices. The Selling Stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:
|
|
|
ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers; |
|
|
|
block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate
the transaction; |
|
|
|
purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account; |
|
|
|
an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange; |
|
|
|
privately negotiated transactions; |
|
|
|
broker-dealers may agree with the Selling Stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;
|
|
|
|
a combination of any such methods of sale; and |
|
|
|
any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law. |
The Selling Stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933 (the Securities Act), if available, rather than under this
prospectus.
Broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to
participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated. The Selling Stockholders do
not expect these commissions and discounts to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved.
The
Selling Stockholders may from time to time pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of common stock or Warrants owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured
parties may offer and sell the shares of common stock from time to time under this prospectus, or under an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act of 1933 amending the list of Selling
Stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as Selling Stockholders under this prospectus.
The Selling Stockholders also may transfer the shares of common stock in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this
prospectus.
The Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may
be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them
may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. The Selling Stockholders have informed us that they do not have any agreements or understandings, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the common
stock.
11
We are required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration of the
shares. We have agreed to indemnify the Selling Stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
The law firm of Richman, Mann, Chizever, Phillips & Duboff, of

ITEM 15. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
Section 317 of the California General Corporation Law authorizes a court to award, or a corporations board of directors to grant, indemnity to directors and
officers who are parties or are threatened to be made parties to any proceeding (with certain exceptions) by reason of the fact that the person is or was an agent of the corporation, against expenses, judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts
actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the proceeding if that person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the corporation.
Section 204 of the law provides that this limitation on liability has no effect on a directors liability (a) for acts or omissions
that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing and culpable violation of law, (b) for acts or omissions that a director believes to be contrary to the best interests of the corporation or its shareholders or that involve the absence of good faith
on the part of the director, (c) for any transaction from which a director derived an improper personal benefit, (d) for acts or omissions that show a reckless disregard for the directors duty to the corporation or its shareholders in
circumstances in which the director was aware, or should have been aware, in the ordinary course of performing a directors duties, of a risk of a serious injury to the corporation or its shareholders, (e) for acts or omissions that constitute
an unexcused pattern of inattention that amounts to an abdication of the directors duty to the corporation or its shareholders, (f) under Section 310 of the law (concerning contracts or transactions between the corporation and a director), or
(g) under Section 316 of the law (directors liability for improper dividends, loans and guarantees). Section 317 does not extend to acts or omissions of a director in his capacity as an officer. Further, Section 317 has no effect on claims
arising under federal or state securities laws and does not affect the availability of injunctions and other equitable remedies available to our shareholders for any violation of a directors fiduciary duty to us or our shareholders. Although
the validity and scope of the legislation underlying Section 317 have not yet been interpreted to a significant extent by the California courts, Section 317 may relieve directors of monetary liability to us for grossly negligent conduct, including
conduct in situations involving attempted takeovers of our company.
In accordance with Section 317, our articles
of incorporation eliminate the liability of each of our directors for monetary damages to the fullest extent permissible under California law. Our articles further authorize us to provide indemnification to our agents (including our officers and
directors), subject to the limitations set forth above. We have entered into indemnification agreements with our officers and directors consistent with the foregoing provisions.
II-1
Additionally, we maintain insurance policies which insure our officers and
directors against certain liabilities. The foregoing summaries are necessarily subject to the complete text of the statute, our articles, our bylaws and the agreements referred to above and are qualified in their entirety by reference thereto.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this registration statement to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the
registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under
the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a
post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(4) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrants annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plans annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(5) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the registrant pursuant to the provisions described in Item 15, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the
registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the
matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
