Business of NovaRay
     NovaRay is our wholly-owned subsidiary and a Delaware corporation based in Palo Alto, California. In June 2005, NovaRay acquired substantially all the assets, including intellectual property, of NexRay, Inc. (“NexRay”), a privately held developer of digital x-ray technology for medical imaging, through the purchase of such assets in NexRay’s then pending Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceeding. The technology enables real-time, low-dose tomographic imaging for a variety of clinical applications. NexRay developed much of NovaRay’s current cardiac imaging system. From NexRay’s inception in May 1992 through June 2005, NexRay raised approximately $80 million, principally through the issuance of preferred stock and loans from various investors. See “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence.”
     NovaRay’s first product, which has received 510(k) marketing clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), addresses the cardiac catheterization market. NovaRay’s proprietary technology provides for enhanced image quality, real-time multi-slice tomography, reduction in radiation exposure for physicians and patients, and open patient access. These advantages especially benefit the image-guided, minimally invasive cardiac procedures that are rapidly growing in number and that are among the most profitable procedures for U.S. hospitals. The bulk of the market for cardiac catheterization imaging systems is controlled by the medical divisions of General Electric, Philips, Siemens, and Toshiba. Our goal is to capture significant market share within this market on the basis of the proprietary features and unique capabilities of our product. To date NovaRay has not sold any products to customers.
     Approximately $80 million has been invested in the development of this system, and we have 23 issued U.S. patents with claims as to our system and its underlying technologies.
Product
The NovaRay Cardiac Catheterization Imaging System
     We believe that our cardiac catheterization imaging system incorporates a number of unique developments. Our system uses a large-area scanning x-ray source to project an x-ray beam through the patient onto a small-area, high-efficiency detector. A high-speed computer reconstructs multi-slice tomographic images in real time. This geometry and reconstruction provides many imaging and performance advantages as well as radiation-reduction advantages for the patient, cardiologist, and catheterization lab staff. We believe these advantages will be compelling to interventional cardiologists and to a hospital’s cardiac program.
     Continuous high-quality diagnostic imaging at low radiation exposure. Our inverse geometry and high-efficiency detector allows our system to produce high-quality diagnostic images at an equivalent radiation exposure as the lower-quality interventional mode of conventional systems. Further, our x-ray source cooling allows our system to operate as long as needed in the diagnostic mode, rather than being limited to approximately 20-second intervals as with current conventional systems.
     High image quality in large patients or when viewing at steep angles. We believe our system excels at imaging larger patients or viewing patients at steep angles. Our system is capable of this result because it utilizes a small-area detector at a large distance from the patient. For geometric reasons, virtually no scattered x-ray photons strike the x-ray detector. In conventional x-ray geometries, scattered x-rays impinge on the detector and add to background noise reducing image quality. These effects of scattered x-rays are more pronounced with large patients or when viewing patients at steep angles. Our detector receives negligible scattered x-ray radiation and, therefore, maintains its high image quality even in these challenging imaging situations.
     Real-time multi-slice tomography. Because of its unique scanning x-ray source, our system captures many different views through the patient at high speed with no motion of the gantry. A high-speed computer reconstructs multi-slice tomographic images in real time. The computer can combine all the tomographic slices to form a projection image, similar to conventional catheterization imaging systems, or the computer can select one or a few tomographic slices to form images with enhanced clarity of a specific region within the body.
     Overlying anatomy removed from images. Because our system’s images are formed in the computer by combining individual tomographic slices, the slices associated with ribs or spine can be eliminated to provide

enhanced clarity of either the entire heart or of the specific area where the intervention is taking place, at the physician’s option.
     Catheter-tracking and navigation. Our multi-slice imaging technology enables real-time tracking of objects within the imaging volume. With a previously obtained CT or MRI scan, the object’s position can be plotted against a 3-D rendering of the relevant anatomy. For example, specialized electrophysiology (EP) catheters can be followed through the chambers of the heart in order to allow a physician to position a device precisely in relation to the heart wall. Thus, our system has the potential to eliminate the need for the auxiliary navigation system that is often used in conjunction with conventional cardiac catheterization imaging systems. This feature does not yet have regulatory clearance.
     Dramatically reduce radiation. Our system’s inverse geometry and high-efficiency detector reduce the radiation exposure delivered to the patient by as much as 10X, and reduce the exposure delivered to the physician and other hospital personnel by as much as 5X. Conventional systems used for interventional procedures expose the patients to the equivalent of 200 to 500 chest x-ray equivalents per minute. Cardiac catheterization procedures typically have 10 to 30 minutes of imaging time and some lengthy procedures can have up to 60 minutes of imaging time, resulting in radiation exposures of up to 30,000 chest x-ray equivalents. With these high exposure levels and the increasing concern for radiation safety, the advantage of our system’s radiation exposure reduction to the patient is substantial. Many interventional cardiologists do not wear their radiation-monitoring badges to prevent detection of radiation overexposure and the corresponding loss of hospital privileges and income. Our system’s reduced radiation mitigates this compliance problem and enables an increased level of physician productivity and income. The reduced radiation to patients, cardiologists, and catheterization lab staff is both a safety benefit and a system advantage.
     Open patient access. The inverse geometry of our system allows the detector to be positioned approximately one meter above the patient. This open design is less claustrophobic to the patient and provides better patient access for the cardiologist.
     Simple, accurate quantification of dimensions. Our system will enable precise measurements and quantification because the magnification of every image slice is known. Vessel diameter and stenosis length are easily and accurately measured in order to select the correct stent size. This feature does not yet have regulatory clearance and will require a filing with the FDA.
     As described above, our system provides imaging and performance benefits as well as safety advantages for the patient, cardiologist, and catheterization lab staff. We expect that our system can be manufactured at a cost comparable to that of a conventional cardiac catheterization imaging system, and that its maintenance costs will be comparable or less.
Other applications beyond cardiac catheterization
     We believe our proprietary systems have many applications beyond the cardiac catheterization market segment. These other market segments include abdominal, peripheral vascular, neurovascular and low-dose lung-nodule imaging, perhaps enabling screening. We have an existing license agreement for certain of these other applications with NRCT LLC, an entity formed by certain of our officers and directors to license our technology for certain of these other applications. See “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions, and Director Independence”, “NRCT LLC”.
     Our cardiac catheterization imaging system can be modified to address the abdominal, peripheral vascular, and neurovascular markets. These applications require a larger imaging field of view to image both legs simultaneously or the entire brain. The field of view of our system may be increased by making the x-ray source physically larger. This change is analogous to making a larger television picture tube. Other imaging requirements for these applications are generally less challenging than cardiac catheterization since there is no rapidly moving anatomy, as is the case with the heart.

Sales and Marketing Strategy
     The key elements of our sales and marketing strategy are:
     Use reference sites to generate sales. We intend to place systems at two key sites with on-site technical support. We plan to use these systems in clinical settings to demonstrate the advantages of our system and to generate sales.
     Penetrate the U.S. cardiac catheterization lab market using a dedicated industry-experienced sales force. We intend to build a team of sales professionals, including a Vice President of Sales, supported by industry-experienced marketing, application, and technical service professionals. This direct sales force will allow us to target hospitals in the U.S. We plan to market our systems directly to interventional cardiologists and hospital administrators, who are the key decision makers in the purchase of this equipment. We expect that our initial placements will likely be in mixed-use electrophysiology / cardiac catheterization labs.
     Work with key opinion leaders. The NovaRay cardiac catheterization system has enjoyed the support of its clinical and scientific advisors. As we move closer to the placement of our first production systems, we will expand this group and formalize it into an advisory board. We expect the members of this board to publish articles in peer-reviewed journals regarding the unique capabilities of our system.
     Clinical Applications Specialists. We will provide clinical application specialists to work with the reference sites to ensure that the cardiologist maximize the utility and unique features of the system.
     Service and support. Service and support are crucial to the sale and acceptance of this type of system. We will provide an on-site service professional with each of the initial two system placements. These individuals will be direct employees of ours and will be fully trained before the initial systems are delivered to customer sites. These individuals will have the goal of 100% uptime of the system and will provide vital feedback to the engineering organization for quality improvement.
Competition
     The market for medical devices is intensely competitive. We believe that our ability to compete in this marketplace will be based on our patent protection, trade secrets, and proprietary know-how, which we believe in turn will present a challenge for any potential competitor to replicate our system.
     The primary suppliers of cardiac catheterization imaging systems are the medical divisions of four multi-national companies: General Electric, Philips, Siemens, and Toshiba. This is a mature industry with little product differentiation. These four companies control the bulk of the market. In addition, there are a few companies with smaller market shares, such as Hologic, Hitachi, and Shimadzu.
     Other imaging modalities such as ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging, and CT have limitations and we do not expect any of them to displace cardiac catheterization imaging systems for the definitive diagnosis and guidance of catheter-based interventional procedures. These alternative imaging modalities play an increasing role in the diagnosis and assessment of cardiovascular disease. This trend is expected to continue, and we believe that this will increase the total number of patients referred for interventional procedures in the cardiac catheterization lab as these alternative imaging technologies help identify more patients who can benefit from these procedures.
Intellectual Property
     Our intellectual property strategy is important to maintaining the advantages of our technology. As of November 2007, we had 23 issued U.S. patents and have filed several international patents in Western Europe and Japan. We believe our success in obtaining patents demonstrates that our technology is substantially different from the technology used in other medical imaging systems, enabling us to generate a broad patent portfolio primarily around various aspects of the x-ray source, detector, and image-reconstruction, including:

Table of Contents

  Target/coolant/collimator apparatus;
  X-ray source construction;
  Detector apparatus;
  Electron-beam scanning apparatus and method;
  Image-reconstruction apparatus and methods; and
  Locating catheter apparatus.
     We believe that we also have protection through trade secrets and know-how regarding manufacturing processes, algorithms, software, and materials selection.
Governmental Approvals
     As a manufacturer of medical devices, we are subject to the regulations and oversight of the FDA and other appropriate international regulatory bodies. X-ray based cardiac catheterization imaging systems are classified by the FDA as Class II devices, and are subject to performance standards outlined in the Code of Federal Regulations.
     510(k) Premarket Notification. A 510(k) premarket notification was submitted to the FDA seeking clearance “...for use in generating real-time fluoroscopic images in patients where medically indicated.” This clearance was granted on September 1, 1998.
     Quality System Regulation. We intend to be in strict compliance with Federal regulations, referred to as the Quality System Regulation (QSR), which includes the Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) that define the elements of quality assurance. These practices will be established prior to system design validation, production, and distribution, and are subject to periodic audits by the FDA.
     International Regulation. International sales of medical devices are subject to foreign government regulations, which vary substantially from country to country. The time required to obtain approval by a foreign country may be longer or shorter than that required for FDA approval, and the requirements may differ.
     The primary regulatory environment in Europe is that of the European Union, which consists of 15 countries encompassing most of the major countries in Europe. Other countries, such as Switzerland, have voluntarily adopted laws and regulations that mirror those of the European Union with respect to medical devices. The European Union has adopted numerous directives and standards regulating the design, manufacture, clinical trials, labeling, and adverse event reporting for medical devices. Devices that comply with the requirements of a relevant directive are entitled to bear CE (European Compliance) conformity marking, indicating that the device conforms with the essential requirements of the applicable directives and, accordingly, can be commercially distributed throughout the European Union. We have not yet met the requirements for CE conformity that would allow commercial activities in Europe.
     In Japan, the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare must approve our device. We have not yet applied for approval in Japan.
     Reimbursement. X-ray imaging for cardiac catheterization procedures is a standard of care in the United States and other developed countries. The costs associated with such procedures are reimbursed. Our system is a replacement system for current systems that have standard reimbursement. Thus, we believe that we will not have to apply for new CPT or DRG codes.
Research and Development
     Research and Development expenditures for each of the periods from June 7, 2005 through December 31, 2005, the year ended December 31, 2006, and the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was approximately $14,000, $20,000, and $122,000, respectively. Additionally, NovaRay contracts Triple Ring Technologies, Inc. (“Triple Ring”) for both administrative support and research and development work.

Employees
     As of the closing of the Merger, we have three employees. We contract through Triple Ring for research and development, regulatory, intellectual property, finance, and other administrative functions.
Risk Factors
     You should carefully consider the following risk factors and all other information contained in this report before purchasing shares of our common stock. Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. If any of the following events or outcomes actually occurs, our business, operating results and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected. As a result, the trading price of our common stock could decline and you may lose all or part of the money you paid to purchase our common stock.
     On December 27, 2007, the Merger was completed, and the business of NovaRay was adopted as our business. As such, the following Risk Factors are focused on the current and historical operations of NovaRay, and generally exclude the risks associated with the prior limited operations of Vision Acquisition I, Inc.
We have limited operating experience and a history of net losses and may never achieve or maintain profitability.
     We have incurred net losses since inception and expect to continue to operate at a loss for the foreseeable future. As of September 30, 2007, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $4,823,000. Neither the Company nor NovaRay has been profitable, and we may never achieve or sustain profitability. Neither the Company nor NovaRay has achieved any revenue to date. If our revenues grow more slowly than anticipated or fail to grow or if operating expenses exceed our expectations, our ability to achieve profitability will be adversely affected. Our future operating results are likely to fluctuate substantially from period to period and will depend upon numerous factors, many of which are outside of our control. Such factors include, but are not limited to:
  our ability to control costs associated with the commercialization of our system;
 
  the market acceptance of our system;
 
  our ability to compete with larger and more established competitors;
 
  the development of new technologies to perform intravascular procedures;
 
  the predicted length of our sales cycle;
 
  the rate and size of expenditures associated with the implementation of our marketing strategy for our system in the United States;
 
  our ability to enter into agreements for the manufacture of our system on acceptable terms;
 
  developments with respect to regulatory matters;
 
  our ability to attract key personnel to assist in the sales and marketing of our system;
 
  on-going adverse economic conditions as well as economic uncertainties, recent and possible future terrorist activities and other geopolitical instability, all of which have increased the likelihood that hospitals may contract their spending, resulting in a contraction of the market for cardiovascular catheterization imaging system; and
 
  our ability to develop strategic distribution relationships in Europe and Asia.
Our limited operating history makes evaluation of our business difficult.
     NovaRay was incorporated in June, 2005, and we have limited historical financial data upon which to base planned operating expenses or forecast accurately our future operating results. Revenue and income potential in our business is unproven. As a development-stage company operating in an unproven market, we face risks and

7


Table of Contents

uncertainties relating to our ability to implement our business plan successfully. We have not yet demonstrated our ability to successfully commercialize any product. Successful commercialization will require us to, among other things, obtain and maintain all applicable regulatory approvals for our ScanCath system; finish developing our ScanCath system; manufacture our ScanCath system; and conduct sales and marketing activities. Our operations have been limited primarily to organizing and staffing, acquiring, developing and securing the proprietary technology used in our product system. These operations provide a limited basis for you to assess our ability to commercialize our product candidates and the advisability of investing in our securities.
We have not developed commercially marketable products to date.
     Since inception, NovaRay has only engaged in research and development activities, and the Company has not engaged in any business operations. We have not proven our ability to produce and market successfully our products broadly, and we must conduct additional development before our products will be ready for commercial sale, including product development by Triple Ring, a third-party contractor, upon which we will depend significantly for future development. Our operations may be adversely affected by problems encountered in connection with the development and utilization of new technologies. These problems may limit our ability to develop commercially successful products on a timely basis. Even if we develop products for commercial use, these products may not be accepted by the marketplace, or we may not be capable of selling these products at prices that will enable us to become profitable.
Market acceptance of our system is uncertain.
     Our success and growth will depend on the level of market acceptance of our system by physicians and hospitals. Physicians may not use, and hospitals may not purchase, our system unless they determine, based on clinical data and other factors, that our system is, among other things, an effective means of reducing radiation exposure and enhancing image quality. These determinations will depend in part on their cost effectiveness and quality relative to competing x-ray systems and the development of any improved systems for the catheterization lab. In addition, we will need to expend a significant amount of resources on marketing and educational efforts to create awareness of our system and to encourage its acceptance and adoption in the catheterization lab. If the market for our system or its technologies does not develop sufficiently or our system or technology is not adopted, our revenue, if any, will be harmed.
Our competitors have greater resources, which may increase the difficulty for us to achieve significant market penetration.
     The market for medical devices is intensely competitive, subject to rapid change, and significantly affected by new product introductions and other market activities of industry participants. Our competitors include large multinational corporations and their operating units, including General Electric, Philips, Siemens, and Toshiba. These companies and certain of our other competitors have substantially greater financial, marketing, and other resources than we do. Each of these companies is either publicly traded or a division of a publicly traded company, and enjoys several competitive advantages, including:
  significantly greater name recognition;
  established relationships with health care professionals and customers;
  additional lines of products, and the ability to offer rebates or bundle products to offer higher discounts or incentives to gain a competitive advantage;
  established distribution networks and relationships with customers; and
  greater resources for product development, sales and marketing, and patent litigation.
     These companies and others have developed and will continue to develop new products that compete directly with our system. In addition, our competitors spend significantly greater funds for the research, development, promotion, and sale of new and existing products. These resources allow them to respond more

quickly to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements. For all the foregoing reasons, we may not be able to compete successfully against our current and future competitors.
Failure to successfully develop, manufacture, market, and sell our system will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
     We currently have only one product under development. The successful development and commercialization of this product is critical to our future success. Our ability to develop, manufacture, market, and sell our system successfully is subject to a number of risks, many of which are outside our control. There can be no assurance that we will be able to develop and manufacture our system successfully in commercial quantities at acceptable costs, market our system, or generate sales of our system. Failure to achieve any of the foregoing would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. For example, we have contracted with Triple Ring to redesign the image-construction computer used in out product in order to lower costs and address parts obsolescence. If this redesign is not successful, our ability to market our product will be adversely affected and this will harm our sales. In addition, we do not have long-term supply agreements with any of our key parts vendors. If we cannot reliably obtain parts from these vendors in the future at prices acceptable to us, our ability to manufacture and sell our product will be harmed, and such a situation would in turn harm our sales and operating margins.
The cardiac catheterization market is highly competitive and subject to rapid technological change.
     The cardiac catheterization market is extremely competitive and characterized by evolving industry standards and new product enhancements. Our system is technologically innovative and requires significant planning, design, development, and testing at the technological, product, and manufacturing process levels. These activities require significant capital commitments and investment. There can be no assurance that our system or proprietary technologies will remain competitive following the introduction of new products and technologies. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that our competitors will not develop products that are more effective or that can be produced at a lower cost than our system or which render our system obsolete. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in the face of increasing competition from new technologies or products introduced by existing competitors and by new companies entering the market.
     We also face competition from companies that are developing drugs or other medical devices or procedures to treat or prevent the conditions for which our product is designed to address. The medical device and pharmaceutical industries make large investments in research and development and innovation is rapid and continuous. If new products or technologies emerge that provide the same or superior benefits as our products at equal or lesser cost, they could render our products obsolete, unmarketable or less in demand. For example, cholesterol lowering drugs could significantly lessen the demand for the cardiac procedures our product is used for, and it is possible that alternative imaging technologies, such as MRI technologies, could advance in a manner that would make them more competitive with our fluoroscopy technology.
We have no sales and marketing experience or current staff and any failure to expand sales of our system will negatively impact future sales.
     We have no experience in marketing, sales, and distribution of our system and currently have no marketing and sales staff. We are in the process of establishing marketing, sales, and distribution capabilities in order to support our commercialization efforts. We will be required to recruit and retain highly trained salespeople, and no assurance can be given that such personnel will be available on terms acceptable to us. There can also be no assurance that our marketing and direct sales force, if established, will be successful in marketing our system to physicians and hospitals. Failure to establish an effective sales and marketing organization would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Our goal is to establish key initial reference sites by the end of 2008 and first system placements in the first half of 2009. If we are unsuccessful in doing so, or test sites do not meet our expectations, our ability to generate revenue will be adversely affected. In addition, due to the limited market awareness of our system, we believe that the sales process could be lengthy, requiring us to educate patients and physicians regarding the benefits of our system.

Because we have no manufacturing experience for commercial-scale quantities of our system and we rely on third party suppliers for many of our components, we may be unable to control the availability of our system.
     We have no manufacturing experience for commercial-scale quantities of our proprietary system. Our failure to enter into or maintain agreements with suppliers for sufficient quantities of components needed to manufacture our system or to enter into agreements with third parties to expand commercial-scale manufacturing capabilities as needed would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. There can be no assurance that our current or future contract manufacturers will meet our requirements for quality, quantity, or timeliness. If the supply of any of our component parts is interrupted, alternative contract manufacturers may require prior FDA approval and/or validation and parts may not be available in sufficient volumes within required timeframes, if at all, to meet our production needs. Each of these factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
We will need to retain our key personnel and attract and retain many new employees.
     We are highly dependent on the principal members of our management, in particular Jack Price, our Chief Executive Officer and President, Marc Whyte, our Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer and Edward Solomon, our Chief Technical Officer. We do not carry “key person” insurance covering any members of our senior management. The loss of any of these persons could prevent the implementation and completion of our objectives, including the development and introduction of our products, and could require the remaining management members to direct immediate and substantial attention to seeking a replacement.
     We currently have only three employees. We plan to expand rapidly our operations and significantly grow our sales and marketing, and financial and administrative operations. This expansion is expected to place a significant strain on our management and will require hiring a substantial number of qualified personnel. Accordingly, recruiting and retaining such personnel in the future will be critical to our success. There is intense competition from other companies and research and academic institutions for qualified personnel in the areas of our activities. If we fail to identify, attract, retain and motivate these highly skilled personnel, we may be unable to continue our development and commercialization activities.
We are dependent on certain related parties for contract development services and commercialization of our technologies outside our anticipated primary markets.
     To date, substantially all of development of our technology and product has been performed by others. At present, we have contracted with Triple Ring to provide research and development services to prepare a commercial-ready improved version of NovaRay’s ScanPath X-ray fluoroscopy system. Payments in excess of $9,500,000 are anticipated over the term of this agreement for these development services and related tooling and materials costs. Existing officers and directors of the Company own approximately 42.3% of Triple Ring’s outstanding shares. In part due to our lack of control over Triple Ring, we have less ability to affect the likelihood of success of these research and development activities.
     NovaRay has granted an exclusive license to NRCT LLC for certain closed gantry applications and a non-exclusive license for industrial applications and certain open gantry applications. All such licenses are for applications and fields that we do not currently consider competitive, but the markets for our products may change in the future and cause this license to have a restrictive effect on our operations. NRCT LLC, which is seeking to sublicense our technology to third parties within these fields, is owned 90% by certain of our existing stockholders and our officers and directors own approximately 74% of the outstanding ownership interests of NRCT LLC. As consideration for the grant of this license, we hold a 10% interest in NRCT LLC. NRCT LLC may not be successful in licensing our technology or in obtaining a return to us for these other applications.
New regulations, including those contained in and issued under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, may cause us difficulty in retaining or attracting qualified officers and directors, which could adversely affect the management of our business and our ability to obtain or retain listing of our common stock.
     We may be unable to attract and retain those qualified officers, directors and members of board committees required to provide for our effective management because of the recent changes in the rules and regulations that

10


Table of Contents

govern publicly held companies, including, but not limited to, certifications by principal executive officers. The enactment of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act has resulted in the issuance of a series of new rules and regulations and the strengthening of existing rules and regulations by the SEC, as well as the adoption of new and more stringent rules by the stock exchanges and NASDAQ. The perceived increase personal risk associated with these recent changes may deter qualified individuals from accepting roles as directors and executive officers.
     Further, some of these recent changes heighten the requirements for board or committee membership, particularly with respect to an individual’s independence from the corporation and level of experience in finance and accounting matters. We may have difficulty attracting and retaining directors with the requisite qualifications. If we are unable to attract and retain qualified officers and directors, the management of our business and our ability to retain listing of our common stock on any stock exchange could be adversely affected.
We currently depend on third party suppliers and manufacturers for components of our system, and the loss of any of these suppliers or manufacturers could materially harm our business.
     Outside contractors and suppliers supply numerous components, subsystems, and other parts used in our system. Many of these components, subsystems, and other parts are only available from single or a limited number of suppliers. In addition, some of these contractors and suppliers require validation studies in order to act as a contractor or supplier for our system. To the extent our current contractors and suppliers cannot support our system, we will be forced to validate other contractors and suppliers that could result in a delay in the manufacturing of our system. Operating results could be materially adversely affected by a stoppage or delay of supply, substitution by more expensive or less reliable alternate parts, receipt of defective parts, an increase in the pricing of such parts, or our inability to obtain reduced pricing from our suppliers in response to competitive pressures.
Our failure to obtain or maintain necessary regulatory clearances or approvals could hurt our ability to distribute and market our system.
     Our system is classified as a medical device and we are subject to regulation and supervision by the FDA in the United States and similar regulatory bodies in other countries. Medical devices are also subject to ongoing controls and regulations, including inspections, compliance with established manufacturing practices, device-tracking, record-keeping, advertising, labeling, packaging, and compliance with other standards. Comparable agencies in certain states may also regulate our activities. The process of complying with such regulations with respect to current and new products can be costly and time-consuming and involves compliance by third-party suppliers over which we have no control.
     Although we have been granted 510(k) marketing clearance from the FDA for our imaging system product, we have made certain technological changes since this clearance was obtained and there is no assurance that the clearance will continue to be adequate. In addition, new functionalities for our system, such as the quantification software, may require additional approvals. Delays in obtaining approvals and clearances, or recalls related to our system could have material adverse effects on us and our operations. We are also subject to certain FDA regulations governing defective products and complaints about our system. The FDA has the authority to inspect our facilities and may have the authority to inspect certain third-party suppliers’ facilities to ensure compliance with FDA regulations. Other regulations include Medical Device Reporting, requiring reports to the FDA regarding certain types of adverse events involving our products, and the FDA’s general prohibition against promoting products for unapproved (“off-label”) uses. Failure to comply with these regulations could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
     Our manufacturing operations are required to comply with applicable Quality System Regulation (QSR) of the FDA, which incorporate the Good Manufacturing Practices regulations. QSR addresses the design controls, methods, facilities, and quality assurance controls used in manufacturing, packing, storing, and installing medical devices. Prior to shipment of our system, we will need to obtain the approval of the Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. (UL) and there is no assurance that we will obtain UL approval in time for the sale of our first product, if at all. In addition, certain international markets have quality assurance and manufacturing requirements that may be more or less rigorous than those in the United States. Furthermore, any FDA regulations now governing our system are subject to change at any time, which may cause delays and could have material adverse effects on our operations.

Table of Contents

     We must also comply with numerous other federal, state, and local laws relating to such matters as safe working conditions, environmental protection, industrial safety, and hazardous substance disposal. We may incur significant costs to comply with such laws and regulations in the future, and lack of compliance could have material adverse effects on our operations.
If we are unable to protect our proprietary technology, or are blocked by a competitor’s patent, we may not be able to compete effectively.
     Our success depends in part on our ability to obtain and enforce patent protection for our system and our future products, both in the United States and other countries, and operate without infringing the proprietary rights of third parties. The scope and extent of patent protection for our system is uncertain and frequently involves complex legal and factual questions. We cannot predict the breadth of claims that will be allowed and issued in patents related to medical device applications. Once such patents have issued, we cannot predict how the claims will be construed or enforced.
     We have 23 issued US patents and have related international patent filings in Western Europe and Japan. We rely on these patents and other intellectual-property protection to prevent our competitors from developing, manufacturing, and marketing products based on our technology. Our patents may not be enforceable and they may not afford us protection against competitors, especially since there is a lengthy lead-time between when a patent application is filed and when it is issued. Because of this, we may infringe on intellectual-property rights of others without being aware of the infringement. If a patent holder believes that our system infringes on their patent, they may sue us even if we have received patent protection for our technology. If another party claims we are infringing their technology, we could face a number of issues, including the following:
  defending a lawsuit, which is very expensive and time consuming;
  paying a large sum for damages, if we are found to be infringing;
  being prohibited from selling or licensing our system until we obtain a license from the patent holder, who may refuse to grant us a license or will only agree to do so on unfavorable terms, including the payment of substantial royalties or the grant of cross-licenses to our patents; and
  redesigning our system so it does not infringe on the patent holder’s technology if we are unable to obtain a license, which, if even possible, may require additional capital and would delay commercialization.
     The coverage claimed in a patent application can be significantly narrowed before a patent is issued, both in the United States and other countries. We do not know whether any of our pending or future patent applications will result in the issuance of patents. To the extent patents have been issued or will be issued, we do not know whether these patents will be subjected to further proceedings limiting their scope, will provide significant proprietary protection or competitive advantage, or will be circumvented or invalidated. Furthermore, patents already issued to us, or patents that may issue on our pending applications, may become subject to dispute, including interference proceedings in the United States to determine priority of invention or opposition proceedings in foreign countries contesting the validity of issued patents.
     We also rely on trade secrets and proprietary know-how to develop and maintain our competitive position. Some of our current or former employees, consultants or scientific advisors, or collaborators, may unintentionally or willfully disclose our confidential information to competitors or use our proprietary technology for their own benefit. Furthermore, enforcing a claim alleging the infringement of our trade secrets or proprietary know-how would be expensive and difficult to prove, making the outcome uncertain. Our competitors may also independently develop equivalent knowledge, methods, and know-how or gain access to our proprietary information through some other means.

There is no assurance that our system will be reimbursed under existing reimbursement codes and any changes in reimbursement procedures by domestic and international payors may adversely impact our ability to market and sell our system.
     The business and financial condition of medical device companies, including us, will continue to be affected by the efforts of third-party payors’ rules, government health administration authorities, private health insurance, and other organizations to contain or reduce the cost of health care. The federal government has in the past and may in the future consider, and certain state and local as well as a number of foreign governments are considering or have adopted, health care policies intended to curb rising health care costs. Such policies include rationing of government-funded reimbursement for health care services and imposing price controls upon providers of medical products and services. We cannot predict what health care reform legislation or regulation, if any, will be enacted in the United States or elsewhere. Significant changes in the health care systems in the United States or elsewhere are likely to have a significant impact over time on the manner in which we conduct our business. Such changes could have a material adverse effect on us.
     In addition, the federal government regulates reimbursement of fees for certain diagnostic examinations and capital equipment acquisition costs connected with services to Medicare beneficiaries. Although we currently anticipate that our system will be reimbursed under existing reimbursement codes, there is no assurance that the existing reimbursement codes will apply to our products. If they do not, the resulting inability of health care providers to obtain reimbursement for our products will materially adversely impact our ability to market and sell our system. In addition, certain legislation has limited Medicare reimbursement for diagnostic examinations, and other third-party payors are increasingly challenging the price and cost-effectiveness of medical products and services. These policies may have the effect of limiting the availability of reimbursement for procedures, and as a result may inhibit or reduce demand by health care providers for products in the markets in which we compete. We cannot predict what effect the policies of government entities and other third party payors will have on future sales of our system, and there can be no assurance that such policies would not have an adverse impact on our operations.
If we become subject to product-liability claims, the damages may exceed our insurance coverage.
     Our business exposes us to potential product-liability claims, product recalls, and associated adverse publicity, which are inherent in the manufacturing, marketing, and sale of medical devices, and as such we may face substantial liability to patients or medical personnel for damages resulting from the faulty design or manufacture of our system. A product-liability claim could materially adversely affect our business or financial condition.
If we do not provide quality customer service, we would lose customers and our operating results would suffer.
     Our ability to provide superior customer service to our customers, health care professionals and educators is critical. To effectively compete, we must build strong brand awareness among our customers, much of which is based upon personal referrals. In order to gain these referrals, we must provide customer service representatives who are able and available to provide our customers with answers to questions regarding our system. This will require us to build and maintain customer service operations. We may rely on a third-party provider to support new customers, but no assurance is made that we will do so.
Our principal stockholders and management own a significant percentage of our stock and can exercise significant influence.
     Our executive officers and directors and their affiliates own approximately 64.68% of our issued and outstanding common stock as set forth in “Item 4. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management” below. Accordingly, these stockholders will likely be able to determine the composition of a majority of our Board, retain the voting power to approve certain matters requiring stockholder approval, and continue to have significant influence over our affairs. This concentration of ownership could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in our control. See Item 4. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management for further information about the ownership of our common stock by our executive officers, directors, and principal stockholders.

We have not paid out cash dividends in the past and may not do so in the future.
     Our policy is to retain any earnings to provide funds for the operation and expansion of our business and, accordingly, we have paid no cash dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate doing so in the future.
If we require future capital, we may not be able to secure additional funding in order to expand our operations and develop new products.
     We may seek additional funds from public and private stock offerings, borrowings under bank or lease lines of credit, or other sources. This additional financing may not be available on a timely basis on terms acceptable to us, or at all. The Financing may be dilutive to stockholders or may require us to grant a lender a security interest in our assets. The amount of money we will need will depend on many factors, including:
  revenues generated by sales of our system and our future products, if any;
  expenses we incur in developing and selling our system;
  the commercial success of our research and development efforts; and
  the emergence of competing technological developments.
     If adequate funds are not available, we may have to delay development or commercialization of our system or license to third parties the rights to commercialize products or technologies that we would otherwise seek to commercialize. We also may have to reduce marketing, customer support, or other resources devoted to our system. Any of these results would materially harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
There is not now, and there may not ever be, an active market for our common stock.
     There currently is no market for our common stock. Further, although our common stock may be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board in the future, the trading of our common stock may be extremely sporadic. For example, several days may pass before any shares may be traded. There can be no assurance that a more active market for our common stock will develop. Accordingly, investors must assume they may have to bear the economic risk of an investment in our common stock for an indefinite period of time.
We are subject to the reporting requirements of federal securities laws, which can be expensive.
     We are a public reporting company in the U.S. and, accordingly, subject to the information and reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and other federal securities laws, and the compliance obligations of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The costs of preparing and filing annual and quarterly reports, proxy statements and other information with the SEC and furnishing audited reports to stockholders are significant.
Our compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and SEC rules concerning internal controls may be time consuming, difficult, and costly.
     Our management team does not have experience as officers of a publicly-traded company, and we have never operated as a publicly-traded company. We will incur significant time and expense in developing and implementing the internal controls and reporting procedures required by Sarbanes-Oxley. We will need to hire experts in financial reporting, to include developing and implementing sound internal control procedures in order to comply with numerous financial reporting requirements. If we are unable to comply with Sarbanes-Oxley’s internal controls and disclosure contracts requirements, we may not be able to obtain the independent accountant attestations or certifications that Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires publicly-traded companies to obtain. If management or our auditors determine that we have a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, we could incur additional costs and suffer adverse publicity and other consequences of any such determination.
When the registration statement becomes effective, there will be a significant number of shares of our common stock eligible for sale, which could depress the market price of such stock.

14


Table of Contents

     Following the effective date of the registration statement, a large number of shares of our common stock will become available for sale in the public market, which could harm the market price of the stock. Further, certain shares may be offered from time to time in the open market pursuant to Rule 144, and these sales may have a depressive effect as well.
We cannot assure you that, even following the Merger, our common stock will become liquid or that it will be listed on a securities exchange.
     We do not meet the initial listing standards of the New York Stock exchange, the Nasdaq Global Market, or other similar exchanges. Until our common stock is listed on an exchange, we expect that our common stock will be eligible to be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, another over-the-counter quotation system, or in the “pink sheets.” In those venues, however, an investor may have difficulty in obtaining accurate quotations as to the market value of our common stock. In addition, if we fail to meet the criteria set forth in SEC regulations, various requirements would be imposed by law on broker-dealers who sell our securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. Consequently, such regulations may deter broker-dealers from recommending or selling our common stock, which may further affect its liquidity. This would also increase the difficulty for us raise additional capital.
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation.
     The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes to those statements included in this 8-K other previous SEC filings. This discussion contains, in addition to historical information, forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to those discussed below, as well as those discussed elsewhere in this 8-K, including those factors discussed under the heading “Risk Factors.” See “Forward Looking Statements”.
Overview
     On December 27, 2007, the Merger was completed, and the business of NovaRay was adopted as our business. As such, the following Management Discussion is focused on the current and historical operations of NovaRay, and excludes the prior operations of Vision.
     We were incorporated in June 2005, and shortly thereafter the assets along with the related underlying debt of NexRay were contributed to us in connection with the foreclosure proceedings by certain lenders of NexRay that are currently investors in NovaRay. See “NexRay Transaction.” We have incurred ongoing losses totaling approximately $4,823,000 from operations since our date of inception (June 7, 2005) through September 30, 2007. To date, substantially all of our expenditures have been related to administration, continuing intellectual property maintenance, and support of the cardiac catheterization imaging system technology. Development and manufacturing expenses are anticipated to increase in future years for personnel and equipment cost required for the product introduction and the start-up of our manufacturing efforts. We expect to incur selling, general, and administrative expenses in connection with the development of our sales and marketing organization, the expansion of our facilities and staff, and the commercial launch of our system.
     We have achieved no revenues to date. Our goal is to begin commercial sales for our cardiac catheterization imaging system in the first half of 2009. We believe that the success of early placements will be critical to gathering strong customer references for future sales. Our efforts are subject to the risks inherent in the development of innovative products, including the risk that the product will be found to be ineffective, or that the product, if effective, will be difficult to manufacture on a large scale, or will be uneconomical to market. No assurance can be given that we will be able to produce our system in commercial quantities at acceptable costs or without delays, or that we will be able to market our system successfully. Any failure of the device to achieve acceptable market performance or the identification of technical deficiencies could lead to delays in the introduction and market acceptance of the product and could jeopardize the viability of our company. In addition, we will need to obtain additional regulatory approvals before our system can be sold in a number of significant international markets, and we may encounter delays in obtaining such approvals or other regulatory delays to the commercial productions of our system. See “Risk Factors.”

     Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
     The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities. Currently, our only estimate is that of depreciation expense. We base our estimates on historical experience and on other assumptions that we believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form our basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
     Going Concern
     Our audited financial statements for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006, for the period from inception (June 7, 2005) to December 31, 2005, and from inception (June 7, 2005) to December 31, 2006 contain a “going concern” opinion from our auditors as a result of ongoing losses from operations and insufficient cash to meet operating requirements for the next twelve months.
     These financial statements have been presented on a basis that contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business and assumes we will continue as a going concern. As of September 30, 2007, we had an accumulated deficit of $4,823,000 and cash equivalents of $80,105 as of that date. Based on these circumstances and at September 30, 2007, we believe that we did not have adequate liquidity to meet our various cash needs for the year ending December 31, 2007 and beyond, unless we were subsequently able to obtain additional cash from the issuance of debt or equity securities. On December 27, 2007, we completed the Financing and received gross proceeds in excess of $10 million.
     These conditions raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern as of the date of such financial statements. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
     Prepaid expenses
     This balance consists primarily of fees paid to advisors in preparation for the contemplated reverse merger into a public shell in conjunction with the raising of additional equity. On the basis of the completion of the Merger and the Financing, this balance will be charged to additional paid in capital by the successor company.
     Accrued Liabilities
     We have incurred interest expense on the various debt instruments issued by us, which was converted into equity instruments at the time of the completion of the Financing.
     Fair Values of Financial Instruments
     At September 30, 2007, fair values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable, and convertible promissory notes approximate their carrying amount due to the short period of time to maturity.
     Property and equipment
     We record property and equipment at cost and calculate depreciation using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the assets, which is estimated to be three years. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs, which do not improve or extend the expected useful life of the assets, are expensed to operations while major repairs are capitalized. The gain or loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment is the difference between the net sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the relevant assets, and, if any, is recognized in the statements of operations.

     Simultaneous with our incorporation, one of our shareholders assigned to us computer hardware, software, equipment, and substantial intellectual property that will be utilized in the design of our principal product. In conjunction with the assignment, we assumed a series of promissory notes held by certain of our shareholders and other financial institutions.
     Stock-based compensation
     As of January 1, 2006, SFAS No. 123R, Share-Based Payment, became effective for all companies and addresses the accounting for share-based payment transactions. SFAS No. 123R eliminates the ability to account for share-based compensation transactions using APB No. 25, and generally requires instead that such transactions be accounted and recognized in the statement of operations based on their fair value. We have never implemented a stock option plan nor have we ever issued stock in lieu of compensation to anyone. As such, this pronouncement has no impact on these financial statements but its provisions will apply to the extent we engage in such activities in the future.
Results of Operations (Unaudited)
     Nine Months Ended September 30, 2007
     Expenses for the nine months ended September, 2007 were approximately $879,000. The expenses consist primarily of general and administrative expenses for maintaining minimal operation, legal expenses related to patents, and other consulting costs related to supporting our future growth.
     Interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was approximately $4,000 and was primarily the result of loans extended to stockholders for their subscriptions to purchase our common stock. Interest expense of approximately $194,000 was the result of loans incurred by us to fund our working capital requirements.
     Net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was approximately $1,069,000.
     Year Ended December 31, 2006
     Expenses for the year ended December 31, 2006 were approximately $986,000. These expenses were primarily attributable to general and administrative expenses, consisting of legal expenses related to patents and other consulting costs related to supporting our growth.
     Interest income for the year ended December 31, 2006 was approximately $1,000. We also realized a one time gain of $80,000 as the result of selling an internet domain name we had registered to a third party. Interest expense of approximately $246,000 was the result of loans incurred by us to fund our working capital requirements.
     Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2006 was approximately $1,151,000.
     From Date of Inception June 7, 2005 to December 31, 2005
     Expenses for the seven months ended December 31, 2005 were approximately $2,496,000. These expenses were primarily attributable to write down of certain acquired assets and general administrative expenses, consisting of legal expenses related to patents and other consulting costs related to supporting our growth. Additionally, we recognized the impairment of the carrying value of certain assets acquired by us from NexRay.
     Interest income for the seven months ended December 31, 2005 was approximately $67. Interest expense of approximately $107,000 was the result of loans incurred by us to fund our working capital requirements.
     Net loss for the seven months ended December 31, 2005 was approximately $2,604,000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
     Our need for funds will increase from period to period as we increase the scope of our development, marketing, and manufacturing activities. From inception through September 30, 2007, we have funded this need with approximately $5 million, which we obtained through private placements of equity securities and issuance of short and long term debt instruments. On October 25, 2006, we closed an equity financing totaling approximately $1.5 million, $1.150 million of which was the conversion of long-term debt into shares of NovaRay Series A Preferred Stock.
     As of September 30, 2007, our principal source of liquidity included cash and short-term investments of approximately $80,000.
     We plan to finance our capital needs principally from the net proceeds of the sale of our common and preferred stock and our existing capital resources. Our working capital and capital requirements will depend on numerous factors, including the level of resources that we devote to the development, clinical, regulatory, and marketing aspects of our product. We anticipate incurring expenses of approximately $11.5 million for development and manufacturing startup and approximately $3 million for marketing, sales, regulatory and general administrative expenses over the next 12 months. This includes hiring 17 new employees. As we expand from the development stage, we expect to expand our production facilities or establish alternate facilities and to hire additional marketing, and sales personnel. We believe that the financial resources available, including our current working capital, will be sufficient to finance our planned operations and capital expenditures through 2008. We further believe that the level of financial resources available to us is an important competitive factor and, accordingly, we may seek to raise additional capital through public or private equity or debt financing(s) in the future. Failure to raise such capital may adversely affect our operations and prospects.
Item 3. Description of Property.
     Our principal facility is located in an approximately 12,000 square foot building in Palo Alto, California. We lease this facility pursuant to a lease expiring on January 30, 2008. We are in negotiations to obtain a new office and research facility upon the expiration of our existing lease.
Item 4. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management.
     The following table sets forth certain information with respect to beneficial ownership of our common stock, as of December 27, 2007 and after giving effect to the Merger or our sale of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and the Warrants, by:
    each beneficial owner of 5% or more of the currently outstanding shares of our common stock;
 
    each of our directors;
 
    each of our executive officers; and
 
    all of our directors and executive officers as a group.
     In computing the number of shares beneficially owned by a person and the percentage ownership of that person, shares of our common stock subject to options or warrants held by that person that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of December 27, 2007 are deemed outstanding, but are not deemed outstanding for computing the percentage ownership of any other person. To our knowledge, except as set forth in the footnotes to this table and subject to applicable community property laws, each person named in the table has sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares set forth opposite such person’s name. Except as otherwise indicated, the address of each of the persons in this table is c/o NovaRay Medical, Inc., 1850 Embarcadero Road, Palo Alto, California 94303.
     Each stockholder’s percentage ownership is based on 9,767,853 shares of our common stock outstanding as of December 27, 2007.

Item 7. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence.
NexRay Transaction
     In June 2005, substantially all of our assets were acquired from NexRay, a privately held development stage company. NexRay developed the substantial portion of our current cardiac catheterization imaging system. From NexRay’s inception in July 1993 through June 2005, NexRay raised approximately $80 million, principally through the issuance of preferred stock and convertible notes to various investors. In May 2004, a significant investor of NexRay determined that it would not provide further financing necessary to fund NexRay’s continued operations. Certain other investors of NexRay entered into negotiations to continue funding NexRay without the participation of this investor under terms agreeable to this non-participating investor. The investors were ultimately unable to reach an agreement and in August 2004, NexRay filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. The total outstanding debt of NexRay was approximately $1 million in trade debt and $10 million in convertible notes to investors. Approximately $1 million of these loans were secured by substantially all of the assets of NexRay. In early April 2005 , a secured lender’s motion for relief from stay was granted. In June 2005, all the assets of NexRay were acquired by this secured lender and NexRay converted to Chapter 7 status. In June 2005, we incorporated. Pursuant to an Assignment and Consent Agreement, all of the former assets of NexRay were contributed to us, subject to the secured NexRay loans and to the lien and security interests established in connection with the September 20, 2004 Order Authorizing Post-Petition Financing of approximately $1.2 million on a Secured Basis of United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of California. Concurrent with this contribution of assets and the forgiveness of certain note preference, these NexRay investors were issued in aggregate 1,683,571 shares

Item 8. Description of Securities.
     We currently have authorized capital of 110,000,000 shares, of which 100,000,000 are designated as common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), and 10,000,000 shares are preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Preferred Stock”), all of which are currently designated as our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. Following completion of the Merger and the initial closing of the Financing, the Company has outstanding 9,767,853 shares of Common Stock and 4,946,888 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, which are convertible at the current rate of one share of Series A Convertible Preferred for one share of our Common Stock. Additionally, there are outstanding options or warrants to purchase, or securities convertible into, an aggregate of up to 2,248,960 shares of our Common Stock (exclusive of those shares of our Common Stock issuable on conversion of the 4,946,888 shares of outstanding Series A Convertible Preferred Stock or on the exercise and subsequent conversion of the Series J Warrant to purchase up to 2,309,469 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock). A holder of Series A Warrants may not exercise a Series A Warrant if the number of shares of our Common Stock to be issued upon such exercise, when aggregated with all other shares of our Common Stock then owned by such holder and its affiliates, would result in such holder and its affiliates beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules thereunder) in excess of 4.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of our Common Stock (the “Series A Warrant Exercise Restriction”); provided, that a holder of a Series A Warrant may, on not less than sixty-one (61) days notice to us (the “Series A Warrant Waiver Notice”), terminate the Series A Warrant Exercise Restriction with regard to any or all shares of our Common Stock issuable upon exercise of a Series A Warrant. The sixty-one (61) day notice period does not apply during the sixty-one (61) day period prior to the expiration date of a Series A Warrant, so that the Series A Warrant Exercise Restriction may be immediately terminated on giving the Series A Warrant Waiver Notice to us during the last sixty-one (61) days of the term of a Series A Warrant. In addition, the Series J-A Warrant and the warrant issued to Triple Ring may become exercisable, for the issuance of up to an additional 769,823 shares and 1,332,000 shares of our Common Stock, respectively. A holder of the Series J-A Warrant may not exercise the Series J-A Warrant if the number of shares of our Common Stock to be issued upon such exercise, when aggregated with all other shares of our Common Stock then owned by such holder and its affiliates, would result in such holder and its affiliates beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules thereunder) in excess of 4.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of our Common Stock (the “Series J-A Warrant Exercise Restriction”); provided, that a holder of the Series J-A Warrant may, on not less than sixty-one (61) days notice to us (the “Series J-A Warrant Waiver Notice”), terminate the Series J-A Warrant Exercise Restriction with regard to any or all shares of our Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Series J-A Warrant. The sixty-one (61) day notice period does not apply during the sixty-one (61) day period prior to the expiration date of the Series J-A Warrant, so that the Series J-A Warrant Exercise Restriction may be immediately terminated on giving the Series J-A Warrant Waiver Notice to us during the last sixty-one (61) days of the term of the Series J-A Warrant.
Common Stock
     Holders of shares of our Common Stock shall be entitled to cast one vote for each share held at all stockholders’ meetings for all purposes, including the election of directors. Our Common Stock does not have cumulative voting rights. No holder of shares of stock of any class shall be entitled as a matter of right to subscribe for or purchase or receive any part of any new or additional issue of shares of stock of any class, or of securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, whether now hereafter authorized or whether issued for money, for consideration other than money, or by way of dividend.

Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
     The Company filed a Certificate of Designation of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock with the Secretary of State of Delaware on December 27, 2007. The following provides only a summary of certain of the terms of the Company’s Preferred Stock.
Voluntary Conversion. At any time on or after the date of the initial issuance of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Issuance Date”), the holder of any such shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock may, at such holder’s option, subject to the limitations set forth in the following paragraph, elect to convert (a “Voluntary Conversion”) all or any portion of the shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock held by such person into a number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of our Common Stock for each such share of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the conversion rights shall terminate at the close of business on the last full day preceding the date fixed for the payment of any such amounts distributable on such event to the holders of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.
At no time may a holder of shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock convert shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock if the number of shares of our Common Stock to be issued pursuant to such conversion would exceed, when aggregated with all other shares of our Common Stock owned by such holder and its affiliates at such time, the number of shares of our Common Stock which would result in such holder and its affiliates beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules thereunder) in excess of 4.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of our Common Stock (the “Conversion Restriction”); provided, however, a holder of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock may provide the Company with sixty-one (61) days notice (the “Series A Convertible Preferred Waiver Notice”) that such holder would like to waive this restriction with regard to any or all shares of our Common Stock issuable upon conversion of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and the Conversion Restriction will be of no force or effect with regard to those shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock referenced in the Series A Convertible Preferred Waiver Notice.
In the event of a reclassification, capital reorganization or other similar change in the outstanding shares of our Common Stock, our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock will become convertible into the kind and number of shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) that the holders of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock would have received if our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock had been converted into our Common Stock immediately prior to such reclassification, capital reorganization or other change. Upon our issuance of certain shares of our Common Stock at prices less than $2.67 per share, the conversion rate of the Series A Convertible Preferred is subject to upward adjustment on the basis of a broadly based weighted average so as to cause a share of outstanding Series A Convertible Preferred to be potentially convertible into more than one share of Common Stock. This weighted average formula takes into account the number of then outstanding shares and the relative dilution to such shares at the $2.67 value per share by the number of shares of Common Stock or common stock equivalents issued at the price below $2.67 per share.
Voting. Except as otherwise required by Delaware law and the following paragraph, our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall have no voting rights. Our Common Stock into which our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible shall, upon issuance, have all of the same voting rights as other issued and outstanding Common Stock of the Company.
So long as any shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the affirmative vote at a meeting duly called for such purpose or the written consent without a meeting, of the holders of not less than a majority of the then outstanding shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (in addition to any other corporate approvals then required to effect such action), shall be required (a) for any change to the Certificate of Designation of the Relative Rights and Preferences of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock or the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation which would amend, alter, change or repeal any of the powers, designations, preferences and rights of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock or (b) for the issuance of shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock other than pursuant to the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement by and among the Company and certain purchasers of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.
Dividends. If declared by the Company, dividends on our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall be on a pro rata basis with all other equity securities of the Company ranking pari passu with our Common Stock as to the payment

27


Table of Contents

of dividends before any Distribution (as defined below) shall be paid on, or declared and set apart for all other classes and series of equity securities of the Company which by their terms do not rank senior to our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (“Junior Stock”). So long as any shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Company shall not declare, pay or set apart for payment any dividend or make any Distribution on any Junior Stock (other than dividends or Distributions payable in additional shares of Junior Stock), unless at the time of such dividend or Distribution the Company shall have paid all accrued and unpaid dividends on the outstanding shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. In the event of a voluntary conversion, all accrued and unpaid dividends on our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock being converted shall be, at the option of the Company, either payable in cash on the date of the voluntary conversion, or converted into additional shares of our Common Stock at the then-applicable conversion price for our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to our Common Stock. “Distribution” shall mean shall mean the transfer of cash or property without consideration, whether by way of dividend or otherwise, payable other than in shares of our Common Stock or other equity securities of the Company, or the purchase or redemption of shares of the Company (other than repurchases of our Common Stock held by employees or consultants of the Company upon termination of their employment or services pursuant to agreements providing for such repurchase or upon the cashless exercise of options held by employees or consultants) for cash or property.
Liquidation. In the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be entitled to receive, out of the assets of the Company available for Distribution to its stockholders, an amount per share of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock equal to the amount distributable with respect to that number of shares of our Common Stock into which one share of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is then convertible, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends thereon (collectively, the “Series A Liquidation Preference Amount”) before any payment shall be made or any assets distributed to the holders of any other Junior Stock. If the assets of the Company are not sufficient to pay in full the Series A Liquidation Preference Amount payable to the holders of outstanding shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and the corresponding pari passu Distribution with respect to our Common Stock and any series of Preferred Stock or any other class of stock ranking pari passu, as to rights on liquidation, dissolution or winding up, with our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and our Common Stock, then all of said assets will be distributed among the holders of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, our Common Stock and the other classes of stock ranking pari passu with our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and our Common Stock, if any, ratably in accordance with the respective amounts that would be payable on such shares if all amounts payable thereon were paid in full. The liquidation payment with respect to each outstanding fractional share of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall be equal to a ratably proportionate amount of the liquidation payment with respect to each outstanding share of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. All payments for which this paragraph provides shall be in cash, property (valued at its fair market value as determined by an independent appraiser reasonably acceptable to the holders of a majority of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock) or a combination thereof; provided, however, that no cash shall be paid to holders of Junior Stock unless each holder of the outstanding shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock has been paid in cash the full Series A Liquidation Preference Amount to which such holder is entitled as provided herein. A consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other corporation or corporations, or a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or the effectuation by the Company of a transaction or series of related transactions in which more than 50% of the voting shares of the Company that are outstanding immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction or series of transactions is disposed of or conveyed, shall be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution, or winding up within the meaning of this paragraph and no consolidation, merger, sale of assets or sale or disposition of the outstanding shares shall result which is inconsistent with this paragraph. The Company shall provide written notice of any, voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company, stating a payment date and the place where the distributable amounts shall be payable, by mail, postage prepaid, no less than twenty (20) days prior to the payment date stated therein, to the holders of record of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock at their respective addresses as the same shall appear on the books of the Company, which notice shall also state the amount per share of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock that will be paid or distributed on such redemption or liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be.

PART II
Item 1. Market Price of and Dividends on the Registrant’s Common Equity and Other Shareholder Matters
     Our shares of common stock are not registered under the securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction, and accordingly there is no public trading market for our common stock. Outstanding shares of our common stock cannot be offered, sold, pledged or otherwise transferred unless subsequently registered pursuant to, or exempt from registration under, the Securities Act and any other applicable federal or state securities laws or regulations. Compliance with the criteria for securing exemptions under federal securities laws and the securities laws of the various states is extremely complex, especially in respect of those exemptions affording flexibility and the elimination of trading restrictions in respect of securities received in exempt transactions and subsequently disposed of without registration under the Securities Act or state securities laws.
Item 2. Legal Proceedings.
     We are not currently a party to any legal proceedings. From time to time, we may be involved in legal proceedings and claims arising out of the ordinary course of business.
Item 4. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities.
     See Item 3.02 of this Form 8-K for information relating to recent issuances of unregistered securities.
Item 5. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
     Our Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, and by-laws provide that we shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended from time to time, indemnify all persons whom it may indemnify pursuant thereto.
     Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware authorizes a corporation to provide indemnification to a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, if such party acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful as determined in accordance with the statute, and except that with respect to any action which results in a judgment against the person and in favor of the corporation the corporation may not indemnify unless a court determines that the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to the indemnification. Section 145 further provides that indemnification shall be provided if the party in question is successful on the merits.
     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. If a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Company 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) we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
