INFORMATION TO BE INCLUDED IN THE REPORT

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

(a) On June 13, 2006, Avatech Solutions, Inc. (“Registrant”) entered into and closed on a Preferred Stock and Warrant Purchase Agreement pursuant to which the Registrant sold 4,000 shares of its newly created Series F 10% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series F Preferred Stock”) and 800,000 Common Stock Purchase Warrants (“Warrants”) to The Tail Wind Fund Ltd. and Solomon Strategic Holdings, Inc., for a purchase price of $1,000 per share of Series F Preferred Stock (the “Original Series F Issuance Price”) or $4,000,000 in the aggregate (the “Offering”).

Each share of Series F Preferred Stock issued in the Offering is convertible into shares of the Registrant’s Common Stock, par value $.01 per share (“Common Stock”), at any time at a price per share of Common Stock determined by dividing (a) the Original Series F Issuance Price plus any accumulated but unpaid dividends thereon, by (b) $2.00. Dividends will be payable semi-annually at a 10% annual rate, in cash or registered Common Stock, at the Registrant’s option. Any dividends paid in stock will be priced at a 5% discount to the market price of the common stock at the payment date.

Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share of Common Stock, at any time until June 12, 2010, at an exercise price of $2.40 per share. The conversion price for the shares of Series F Preferred Stock and the exercise price for the Warrants are adjustable upon the occurrence of certain events.

On June 14, 2006, the Registrant entered into and closed on a Common Stock and Warrant Purchase Agreement pursuant to which the Registrant sold 1,000,000 shares of its Common Stock and 600,000 Common Stock Purchase Warrants to two accredited investors, Pacific Asset Partners and Sigma Opportunity Fund, LLC, for a purchase price of $2.00 per common share, or $2,000,000 in total. Each Common Stock Purchase Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share of Common Stock, at any time until June 14, 2010, at an exercise price of $2.00 per share.

The Registrant intends to use the proceeds of the sale of the Series F Preferred Stock and the Common Stock to reduce the outstanding principal of the $6.5 million short-term note that it executed in connection with a recent acquisition.

These securities were issued and sold in reliance upon the exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 provided by Section 4(2) thereof.

On May 5, 2006, the Registrant announced that it had signed a nonbinding term sheet for the sale of $20 million of convertible preferred stock to a private equity firm that was convertible into common stock for $1.85 per share.
