A WARNING ABOUT FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

We have made forward-looking statements (as such term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995) in this document and in documents that are incorporated by reference in this document that are subject to risks and uncertainties. We caution you to be aware of the speculative nature of forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include the information concerning possible or assumed future results of our operations. Also, statements including words such as “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates,” or similar expressions are forward-looking statements. These statements reflect our good faith belief based on current expectations, estimates and projections about (among other things) the industry and the markets in which we operate, but they are not guarantees of future performance. Purchasers of shares offered hereby should note that many factors, some of which are discussed elsewhere in this document and in the documents incorporated by reference in this document, could affect our future financial results and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in forward-looking statements contained or incorporated by reference in this document. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements in this Prospectus include, among others, the factors set forth under the caption “Risk Factors,” general economic, business and market conditions, changes in laws, and increased competitive pressure. We can give no assurances that the actual results we anticipate will be realized or, even if substantially realized, that they will have the expected consequences to, or effects on, us or our business or operations. Except as required by applicable laws, we do not intend to publish updates or revisions of any forward-looking statements we make to reflect new information, future events or otherwise.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

This Prospectus relates to the resale of an aggregate of 1,811,272 shares of the Common Stock of Avatech Solutions, Inc. (“we” or the “Company”), held by or issuable to certain stockholders and a warrant holder to whom we granted registration rights in connection with our private placement of the Common Stock and Warrants in a transaction not involving a public offering pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

The private placement, which closed on January 29, 2007, involved the sale, to Sigma Opportunity Fund, LLC, of 986,518 shares of our common stock at a price of $1.5205 per share. In addition, we issued to Sigma Opportunity Fund, LLC, and to Sigma Capital Advisors, LLC, warrants to purchase an additional 591,911 and 75,000 shares of our common stock, respectively, at any time prior to the fourth anniversary after the issuance of the warrants, at an exercise price of $1.5205 per share. In the same private placement, we sold 65,768, 16,442, and 16,442 shares of our common stock, respectively, to George Davis, Garnett Y. Clark, and Robert Post, and issued warrants to those individuals, on the same terms as the warrants issued to Sigma Opportunity Fund, LLC and Sigma Capital Advisors, LLC, to purchase 39,461, 9,865, and 9,865 shares of our common stock, respectively. Thom Waye, the Chairman of our Board of Directors, has sole voting and dispositive power over shares owned, or to be acquired upon exercise of warrants, by Sigma Opportunity Fund, LLC and Sigma Capital Advisors, LLC. Messrs. Davis, Clark, and Post are members of our Board of Directors. In addition, Mr. Davis is our President and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Clark is Vice Chairman of our Board of Directors, and Mr. Post is Chairman of our Board’s Audit and Finance Committee. Each of those individuals has sole voting and dispositive power over shares owned, or to be acquired upon exercise of warrants, by him.

The private placement was made pursuant to a Common Stock and Warrant Purchase Agreement, dated January 29, 2007, by and among us and the above-named purchasers. No private placement agent was employed by us or such purchasers in connection with the private placement of our common stock and warrants.

In accordance with our contractual obligations to these stockholders, we filed a Registration Statement on Form S-1, of which this Prospectus constitutes a part, in order to permit the Selling Stockholders to resell to the public the shares of our Common Stock issued to them.

The following table, to our knowledge, sets forth information as of the date of this Prospectus regarding the beneficial ownership of shares of our Common Stock held by each Selling Stockholder and the number of shares being offered hereby by each Selling Stockholder. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC, and includes voting or investment power with respect to shares, as well as any shares as to which the selling stockholder has the right to acquire beneficial ownership within sixty (60) days after May 1, 2007. Unless otherwise indicated below, each selling stockholder has sole voting and investment power with respect to its shares of common stock. The inclusion of any shares in this table does not constitute an admission of beneficial ownership by the Selling Stockholder. Except upon the exercise of Warrants in transactions not involving a “cashless” exercise, we will not receive any of the proceeds from the resale of our common stock by the Selling Stockholders. None of these Selling Stockholders are, or are affiliates of, a broker-dealer registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

We are registering the shares of common stock on behalf of the selling security holders. Sales of shares may be made by selling security holders, including their respective donees, transferees, pledgees or other successors-in-interest directly to purchasers or to or through underwriters, broker-dealers or through agents. Sales

Table of Contents

may be made from time to time on any other exchange or market upon which our shares may trade in the future, in the over-the-counter market or otherwise, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to market prices, or at negotiated or fixed prices. The shares may be sold by one or more of, or a combination of, the following:

 

   

a block trade in which the broker-dealer so engaged will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction (including crosses in which the same broker acts as agent for both sides of the transaction);

 

   

purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by such broker-dealer, including resales for its account, pursuant to this prospectus;

 

   

ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits purchases;

 

   

through options, swaps or derivatives;

 

   

in privately negotiated transactions; and

 

   

put or call option transactions relating to the shares.

The selling security holders may effect these transactions by selling shares directly to purchasers or to or through broker-dealers, which may act as agents or principals. These broker-dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling security holders and/or the purchasers of shares for whom such broker-dealers may act as agents or to whom they sell as principals, or both (which compensation as to a particular broker-dealer might be in excess of customary commissions). The selling security holders have advised us that they have not entered into any agreements, understandings or arrangements with any underwriters or broker-dealers regarding the sale of their securities.

The selling security holders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions. In connection with those transactions, the broker-dealers or other financial institutions may engage in short sales of the shares or of securities convertible into or exchangeable for the shares in the course of hedging positions they assume with the selling security holders. The selling security holders may also enter into options or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions which require the delivery of shares offered by this prospectus to those broker-dealers or other financial institutions. The broker-dealer or other financial institution may then resell the shares pursuant to this prospectus (as amended or supplemented, if required by applicable law, to reflect those transactions).

The selling security holders and any broker-dealers that act in connection with the sale of shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act of 1933, and any commissions received by broker-dealers or any profit on the resale of the shares sold by them while acting as principals may be deemed to be underwriting discounts or commissions under the Securities Act. The selling security holders may agree to indemnify any agent, dealer or broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving sales of the shares against liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act. We have agreed to indemnify each of the selling security holders and each selling security holder has agreed, severally and not jointly, to indemnify us against some liabilities in connection with the offering of the shares, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.

The selling security holders will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. We have informed the selling security holders that the anti-manipulative provisions of Regulation M promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 may apply to their sales in the market.

Selling security holders also may resell all or a portion of the shares in open market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities Act, provided they meet the criteria and conform to the requirements of Rule 144.

Table of Contents

Upon being notified by a selling security holder that a material arrangement has been entered into with a broker-dealer for the sale of shares through a block trade, special offering, exchange distribution or secondary distribution or a purchase by a broker or dealer, we will file a supplement to this prospectus, if required pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, disclosing:

 

   

the name of each such selling security holder and of the participating broker-dealer(s);

 

   

the number of shares involved;

 

   

the initial price at which the shares were sold;

 

   

the commissions paid or discounts or concessions allowed to the broker-dealer(s), where applicable;

 

   

that such broker-dealer(s) did not conduct any investigation to verify the information set out or incorporated by reference in this prospectus; and

 

   

other facts material to the transactions.

In addition, if required under applicable law or the rules or regulations of the Commission, we will file a supplement to this prospectus when a selling security holder notifies us that a donee or pledgee intends to sell more than 500 shares of common stock.

We are paying all expenses and fees in connection with the registration of the shares. The selling security holders will bear all brokerage or underwriting discounts or commissions paid to broker-dealers in connection with the sale of the shares.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

As of the date of Prospectus, we have the authority to issue an aggregate of 100,000,000 shares of capital stock, consisting of 80,000,000 shares of our Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, and 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share, issuable from time to time by our board of directors in one or more classes or series.

Common Stock

Holders of our Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters to be voted on by shareholders. There is no cumulative voting with respect to the election of directors, with the result that the holders of more than 50% of the shares voted can elect all of the directors then being elected. The holders of our Common Stock are entitled to receive dividends when, as and if declared by the Board of directors out of funds legally available. In the event of our liquidation, dissolution, or winding up, holders of our Common Stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining available for distribution to them after payment of liabilities and after provision has been made for each class of stock, if any, having preference over our Common Stock. Holders of shares of our Common Stock, as such, have no redemption, preemptive or other subscription rights, and there are no conversion provisions applicable to our Common Stock. All of the outstanding shares of our Common Stock are fully paid and nonassessable.

Preferred Stock

Our Board of Directors is authorized, without further action by the shareholders, to issue series of preferred stock from time to time, and to designate the rights, preferences, limitations and restrictions of and upon shares of each series including dividend, voting, redemption and conversion rights. The Board of Directors also may designate par value, preferences in liquidation, and the number of shares constituting any series. We believe that the availability of preferred stock issuable in series will provide increased flexibility for structuring possible future

financings and acquisitions, if any, and in meeting other corporate needs. The rights and privileges of holders of preferred stock could adversely affect the voting power of holders of common stock, and the authority of our Board of Directors to issue preferred stock without further shareholder approval could have the effect of delaying, deferring, or preventing a change in control of the Company. Our board of directors currently has three classes of preferred stock designated under our Charter; the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, the Series E Convertible Preferred Stock, and Series F 10% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock. In addition, the board of directors has the authority to designate additional classes or series of preferred stock in the future with rights that may adversely affect the rights of the holders of our common stock or its market price.

CERTAIN PROVISIONS RELATING TO A CHANGE OF CONTROL

Provisions Related To The Election Of Directors And Stockholder Action. Our certificate of incorporation requires the affirmative vote of two-thirds of the shareholders to remove a director from the board of directors without cause. The certificate of incorporation also provides that our remaining directors may fill any and all board vacancies, unless the remaining directors approve a stockholder vote to fill a vacancy. Our bylaws prohibit less than two-thirds of our shareholders from calling a special meeting, whether for the purpose of replacing directors or for any other purpose. Therefore, a third party interested in taking control of Avatech quickly will not be able to do so unless the third party acquires two-thirds or more of our voting securities at the time of the acquisition. In addition, our certificate of incorporation and bylaws prohibit shareholders from taking action by written consent in lieu of a meeting.

Certain Statutory Provisions. We are subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. In general, this provision prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a “business combination” with an “interested stockholder” for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder, unless:

 

   

prior to such date, the corporation’s board of directors approved either the business combination or the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder;

 

   

upon consummation of the transaction that resulted in such person becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding for purposes of determining the number of shares outstanding, shares owned by certain directors or certain employee stock plans; and

 

   

on or after the date the stockholder became an interested stockholder, the business combination is approved by the corporation’s board of directors and authorized by the affirmative vote, and not by written consent, of at least two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation excluding that owned by the interested stockholder.

A “business combination” includes a merger, asset sale, or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. An “interested stockholder” is a person, other than the corporation and any direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the corporation, who together with the affiliates and associates, owns or, as an affiliate or associate, within three years prior, did own 15% or more of the corporation’s outstanding voting stock.

Section 203 expressly exempts from the requirements described above any business combination by a corporation with an interested stockholder who becomes an interested stockholder in a transaction approved by the corporation’s board of directors.

DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the registrant has been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is therefore unenforceable.

Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

The Company’s By-laws provide that the Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, 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 permits a corporation, under specified circumstances, to indemnify its directors, officers, employees or agents against expenses (including attorney’s fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by them in connection with any action, suit or proceeding brought by third parties by reason of the fact that they were or are directors, officers, employees or agents of the corporation, if such directors, officers, employees or agents acted in good faith and in a manner they 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 reason to believe their conduct was unlawful. In a derivative action, i.e., one by or in the right of the corporation, indemnification may be made only for expenses actually and reasonably incurred by directors, officers, employees or agents in connection with the defense or settlement of an action or suit, and only with respect to a matter as to which they shall have acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made if such person shall have been adjudged liable to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that the defendant directors, officers, employees or agents are fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses despite such adjudication of liability.

Article Seventh of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation provides that our directors will not be personally liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages resulting from breaches of their fiduciary duty as directors except (a) for any breach of the duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders, (b) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (c) under Section 174 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, which makes directors liable for unlawful dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions, or (d) for transactions from which directors derive improper personal benefit.

The Company also maintains director and officer insurance coverage.

Item 15. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

In December, 2003, the Company sold 1,297,537 shares of its Series D 10% Convertible Preferred Stock and warrants, which subsequently expired, to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock, in an offering made in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”).

On April 1, 2004, in consideration for a loan to the Company in the amount of approximately $1 million, the Company issued to W. James Hindman, Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors, a warrant to purchase 51,828 shares of common stock on or before March 31, 2009, at a price of $.45 per share. On October 28, 2004, in consideration of his guaranty of the Company’s supplemental $700,000 line of credit with its senior lender, the Company issued to Mr. Hindman warrants to purchase 100,000 shares on or before December 6, 2007, at a price of $.35 per share, and on October 21, 2005, in consideration for extending this guaranty until October 21, 2007, the Company issued to Mr. Hindman another warrant to purchase 100,000 shares on or before October 21, 2008, at a price of $1.02 per share. In each of these warrant issuances to Mr. Hindman, the Company relied upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Act.

On July 29, 2005, the Registrant closed on the sale of 1,191 shares of the Registrant’s Series E Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series E Preferred Stock”) and 366,475 Common Stock Purchase Warrants (“Warrants”) to a group of 35 accredited investors, for a purchase price of $1,000 per share of Series E Preferred Stock (the “Original Series E Issuance Price”) or $1,191,000 in the aggregate (the “Offering”).

Each share of Series E 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 after December 1, 2005, for a number of shares determined by dividing (a) the Original Series E Issuance Price plus any accumulated but unpaid dividends thereon, by (b) $0.65.

Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share of Common Stock, at any time until August 3, 2008, at an exercise price of $0.65 per share.

The conversion price for the shares of Series E Preferred Stock and the exercise price for the Warrants are adjustable upon the occurrence of certain events.

These securities were issued in reliance on the exemption from registration set forth in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D promulgated thereunder.

On November 10, 2005, our Board of Directors approved the letter agreement entered into on October 21, 2005 by the Company and W. James Hindman, its chairman of the Board of Directors, whereby Mr. Hindman extended his guarantee (the “Guarantee”) of the $700,000 line of credit maintained by Avatech Solutions Subsidiary, Inc., a controlled subsidiary of the Company, with K Bank. In consideration of the extension of the Guarantee, the Company paid Mr. Hindman a credit enhancement fee of $28,000 and, granted to the Hindman Family Dynasty Trust a warrant to purchase up to 100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, at any time through October 21, 2008, at an exercise price of $1.02 per share. This warrant was issued in reliance on the exemption from registration set forth in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D promulgated thereunder.

On May 30, 2006, we issued an aggregate of 694,445 shares of our Common Stock to the owners of Sterling Systems & Consulting, Inc. and three affiliated entities in a transaction exempt from registration pursuant to Regulation D under the Act. These shares were issued as part of the consideration for the purchase of all of the capital stock or membership interests in Sterling Systems & Consulting, Inc., one related company, and two related limited liability companies.

On June 12, 2006, we issued an aggregate of 4,000 shares of our Series F 10% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, and 800,000 stock purchase warrants to two institutional investors for an aggregate of $4,000,000, and on June 14, 2006, we issued an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares, and 600,000 stock purchase warrants to two additional institutional investors, for an aggregate of $2,000,000, in each case in reliance upon the exemption provided by Section 4(2) of the Act.

On January 29, 2007, we issued an aggregate of 1,085,170 shares, and 651,102 stock purchase warrants to Sigma Opportunity Fund LLC and to three of our directors, for an aggregate of $1,650,000, and issued 75,000 stock

II-6


Table of Contents

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in the volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of the securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement.

(iii) To include any material information with respect to any plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

Gentlemen:

Filed contemporaneously herewith, via EDGAR, is Amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment”) to the Registration Statement on Form S-1 (the “Registration Statement”) of Avatech Solutions, Inc. (the “Company”). We have also sent to Mr. Ingram, by overnight delivery service, a copy of this letter and a copy of the Amendment marked to show changes to the Registration Statement effectuated by the Amendment.

The following indicates the changes made to the Registration Statement in response to your comment letter dated March 1, 2007, with the paragraph numbers corresponding to the paragraph numbers in the comment letter:

1. We have added two paragraphs following the first paragraph under “Selling Stockholders,” page 3, in response to this comment. All material terms regarding the private placement have been disclosed.

2. We have indicated the individual who has voting and dispositive power regarding the shares to be offered by Sigma Capital Advisors, LLC.


3. We have deleted any reference to the creation of short positions in the common stock in connection with the offering. Short sales of the common stock will not be effectuated by any of the selling stockholders.

4. In reliance upon Rule 430C, we have provided only the undertaking contained in Item 512(g)(2) of Regulation S-K.

5. In a separate filing, the Company amended its Form 10-K report for the year ended June 30, 2006 to provide the requested changes to the material regarding controls and procedures.

Assuming no further comments are deemed necessary by the Commission’s staff, the Company will request that effectiveness of the Registration Statement be accelerated. At that time, Lawrence Rychlak, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company, will make an acceleration request and provide the acknowledgments set forth in the Commission’s comment letter.

Please do not hesitate to contact the undersigned if you have any questions or desire any additional information.
