PART I
 
Item 1.       DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.
 
Ophthalmic Imaging Systems (the "Company" or "OIS") was incorporated under the laws of the State of California on July 14, 1986. The Company, headquartered in Sacramento, California, is engaged in the business of designing, developing, manufacturing and marketing digital imaging systems, image enhancement and analysis software and informatics solutions for use by practitioners in the ocular health field. The Company’s products are used for a variety of standard diagnostic test procedures performed in most eye care practices.
 
Since its inception, the Company has developed products that have addressed primarily the needs of the ophthalmic angiography markets, both fluorescein and indocyanine green. The current flagship products in the Company's angiography line are its WinStation digital imaging systems. These WinStation products are targeted primarily at retinal specialists and general ophthalmologists in the diagnosis and treatment of retinal diseases and other ocular pathologies.
 
The Company believes, however, that as the U.S. healthcare system moves toward managed care, the needs of managed care providers are changing the nature of demand for medical imaging equipment and services. New opportunities in telemedicine (i.e., the electronic delivery and provision of health care and consultative services to patients through integrated health information systems and telecommunications technologies), combined with lower cost imaging devices and systems, are emerging to allow physicians and managed care organizations to deliver a high quality of patient care while reducing costs. OIS is applying its technology in the ophthalmic imaging field to the development of new ocular imaging devices and exploring telemedicine/managed care applications targeted at the mass markets of general ophthalmology and optometry.
 
The Company's objective is to become a leading provider of a diverse range of complimentary ophthalmic products and services for the ocular health care industry. The Company is currently focusing its development efforts on related products for the ocular healthcare market, as well as features and enhancements to its existing products.
 
The Company entered into the Ophthalmic Picture Archiving and Communications Systems (“PACS”) software market during 2004, enabling medical staff to access new and archived images remotely, improving the environment in which to diagnose patients. The ability to instantaneously share information between locations allows specialists to manage more patients’ in separate locations quickly and efficiently. The Ophthalmic PACS system can be completely integrated with our customers existing infrastructure, including image acquisition, image analysis, short- and long-term storage, archiving, disaster recovery, viewing, and monitoring.
 
The Company has also entered into the Electronic Medical Records (“EMR”) and the Enterprise Practice Management (“EPM”) markets. To that end, it signed an agreement on June 30, 2003 with NextGen Healthcare Information Systems, Inc., a subsidiary of Quality Systems Inc. (Nasdaq:QSII), a leading provider of such software platforms to the practitioners market and sale of their products to the ophthalmic market.
 
This strategic business alliance diversifies the product portfolio of the Company, enabling it to offer a wider variety of products and comprehensive solutions to its customer base of ophthalmology departments and practices. The NextGen(R) EMR system creates and maintains complete medical records with minimal effort while it streamlines workflow, controls utilization, and manages critical data related to patient care outcomes. The NextGen(R) EPM system is a complete physician management system that provides a common registration system, enterprise-wide appointment scheduling, referral tracking, clinical support, a custom report writer, and patient financial management based on a managed care model.

PRODUCTS
 
WinStation Systems
 
The Company's WinStation systems and products, delineated by resolution, are primarily used by retina specialists and general ophthalmologists to perform a diagnostic test procedure known as fluorescein angiography. This procedure is used to diagnose and monitor pathology and provide important information in making treatment decisions. Fluorescein angiography is performed by injecting a fluorescent dye into the bloodstream. As the dye circulates through the blood vessels of the eye, the WinStation system, connected to a medical image capture device called a fundus camera, takes detailed images of the patient's retina. These digital images can provide a "road map" for laser treatment.
 
Over the past 40 years, fluorescein angiography has been performed using photographic film, which requires special processing and printing. The Company's WinStation systems allow for immediate diagnosis and treatment of the patient. Images are automatically transferred to a database and permanently stored on CD-ROM or DVD-ROM. The Company offers a variety of networking and printer options.
 
The Company's WinStation systems also are used by ophthalmologists to perform indocyanine green ("ICG") angiography. ICG angiography is a diagnostic test procedure used in the treatment of patients with Age-related Macular Degeneration (“AMD”), a leading cause of blindness afflicting over 5 million people in the United States. ICG angiography, used for approximately 5% of patient angiography, is a dye procedure that can only be performed using a digital imaging system.
 
Ophthalmology Office
 
The Company has expanded its offerings in ophthalmic informatics to provide comprehensive solutions for the ophthalmic industry. The Company provides its own Ophthalmic PACS and recently entered the EMR and EPM markets through a strategic alliance with NextGen Healthcare Information Systems, Inc., a subsidiary of Quality Systems Inc. (Nasdaq:QSII), a leading provider of EMR and EPM software platforms expanding its product portfolio with Ophthalmology Office.
 
Digital Slit Lamp Imager (DSLI)
 
The DSLI is intended for use by a majority of eye care practitioners, including most ophthalmologists and optometrists, with an emphasis on imaging the front of the eye. Slit lamps are imaging devices used in virtually all-ophthalmic and optometric practices. The DSLI adapts to most slit lamp models and is capable of real-time video capture, database management and archiving.
 
Markets
 
Having reviewed a broad selection of third party sources, including reports by American Medical Information, the Company believes there are approximately 16,000 ophthalmologists in the United States
 
2

and 28,000 ophthalmologists practicing medicine in countries outside the United States. This group has been traditionally divided into two major groups: anterior segment (front of the eye) and posterior segment (back of the eye). Within these groups there are several sub-specialties including medical retina, retina and vitreous, glaucoma, neurology, plastics, pediatric, cataract, cornea and refractive surgery. There are approximately 29,000 practicing optometrists (OD) in the United States, with the preponderance of practicing optometrists worldwide located in the United States.
 
The WinStation market consists of current fundus camera owners and anticipated purchasers of fundus cameras suitable for interfacing with the Company's digital imaging system products. The Company believes there are now over 9,000 fundus cameras in clinical use in the United States with an equal number in the international market. It is estimated that new fundus camera sales fluctuate between 800 and 1,200 units per year at an average per unit selling price of approximately $24,000. Of total cameras worldwide, including new and previously owned, a significant number are suitable to be interfaced with Company digital imaging systems.
 
Currently the Company knows of five manufacturers of fundus cameras. These manufacturers produce a total of 22 models, 9 current and 13 legacy models for which the Company has designed optical and electronic interfaces for each of them.
 
The primary target market for the Ophthalmology Office are the retinal specialists and general ophthalmologists who, combined, number approximately 16,000 in the United States.
 
The primary target market for digital angiography systems are retinal specialists who number approximately 2,000 in the United States. The Company's digital imaging system sales have been driven in this segment by both fluorescein and ICG angiography. The Company expects the demand for digital angiography to continue, as it is becoming a standard of care. The primary target market for the DSLI product is the optometrist market, the majority of whom are among the approximately 29,000 practicing in the United States, which number includes those employed by or affiliated with retail optometry organizations; retinal specialists and general ophthalmologists who, combined, number approximately 16,000 in the United States; 5,000 retail optometry chain outlets in the United States; and teaching institutions and military hospitals.
 
Sales, Marketing and Distribution
 
The Company utilizes a direct sales force in marketing its products throughout the United States and Canada. At December 31, 2005, the Company's sales and marketing organization consisted of a national sales manager as well as nine territory sales representatives and eleven product specialists located throughout the United States. These regional representatives and product specialists provide marketing, sales, maintenance, installation and training services. The Company also utilizes Company-trained contractors to provide certain installation and training services. Additionally, the Company subcontracts service maintenance in several cities in the United States and Canada for routine component replacement.
 
Internationally, the Company utilizes ophthalmic distributors that sell the Company's products in various foreign countries. Each country has trained sales and technical service staff for their respective territories. MediVision, the Company’s parent and CCS Pawlowski GmbH, an affiliate (“CCS”) serve as the principal distributors of the Company's products in Europe and certain other international markets.
 
Under the Distribution Agreement with MediVision, dated as of January 1, 2004, OIS appointed MediVision to be its exclusive distributor of certain products in Europe, Africa, Israel and India (the “MV Territory”). In return, MediVision agreed, among other things (as confined to the MV Territory), (1) to use its best efforts in promoting, marketing and selling those certain products, (2) to service customers

who purchased those certain products from MediVision, (3) to diligently advertise the products, (4) to refrain from manufacturing, distributing or marketing any items which will compete directly with the products, and (5) to provide OIS with a 12 month forecast of their intended purchases every 3 months. Under the agreement, MediVision must purchase the specified quota of the products. If MediVision fails to satisfy its quota obligation, this constitutes a breach and OIS may terminate the exclusivity provision. The quota for 2005 was $700,000, which shall increase by at least 10% the next year. For the sale of WinStation products, all distributors, including MediVision, receive a tiered volume discount based on the amount ordered. The agreement, as amended on December 9, 2005, and effective October 1, 2005, increased the discount percentages and are summarized in tabular format below. The initial term of the agreement is for two years, which will be automatically renewed in one year periods. Either party may terminate the agreement with at least 6 months prior written notice. Subject to an addendum between the parties dated December 9, 2005, MediVision purchased amounts include amounts purchased from OIS by CCS, MediVision’s Germany subsidiary.

To promote sales, the Company prepares brochures, data sheets and application notes on its products, participates in industry trade shows and workshops, and advertises in trade journals, press releases, direct mail solicitations, journal articles, and scientific papers and presentations.
 
Manufacturing and Production
 
The Company is primarily a systems integrator with proprietary software, optical interfaces and electronic fundus camera interfaces. Certain components are subcontracted to outside vendors and assembled at OIS. The Company inventories and assembles components in a 10,200 square foot facility located in Sacramento, California. For production of certain components of its products, the Company's manufacturing strategy is to use subcontractors to minimize time and reduce capital requirements.
 
The Company has been audited by the Food and Drug Administration (the "FDA") and was deemed to conform to Good Manufacturing Practices ("GMP"). The Company has 510(k)'s on file for its digital angiography products.
 
Components, Raw Materials and Suppliers
 
As a systems integrator, a significant number of the major hardware components in the Company's products are procured from sole source vendors. Whenever possible, however, the Company seeks multiple vendor sources from which to procure its components. Moreover, the Company works closely with its principal component suppliers, such as Dell Computer, MegaVision, Lumenera, and the rest of its vendors to maintain dependable working relationships and to continually integrate into the manufacturing of its products, whenever possible, the most current, proven, pertinent technologies. But, as with any manufacturing concern dependent on subcontractors and component suppliers, significant delays in receiving products or unexpected vendor price increases could adversely affect the Company.
 
Warranties
 
The Company generally provides a 12-month limited warranty for parts, labor and shipping charges in connection with the initial sale of its products. Peripheral products such as monitors, printers and computers also carry the original manufacturer's warranty.
 
In the North American market, in order to ensure quality control and the proper functioning of its products on-site at a doctor's office, the Company generally installs the system and trains the doctor and the doctor's staff. The Company also offers service plans for sale to its customers as a supplement to the original manufacturer's warranties.
 
Competition
 
The healthcare industry is characterized by extensive research and development efforts and rapid technological change. Competition for products that can diagnose and evaluate eye disease is intense and is expected to increase. With respect to its WinStation products, the Company is aware of two primary competitors in the United States, which produce and are delivering digital fundus imaging systems in volume, Topcon and Zeiss. In addition, there are a few other small competitors. Both Topcon and Zeiss, however, manufacture fundus cameras and produce angiography products that interface mostly with their own fundus cameras. In contrast, the Company's products interface with different models of fundus cameras from a wide variety of manufacturers. Three other companies are known to have systems in primarily the international market, and the U.S. market to a limited extent, each with small market penetration.
 
5

The Company is aware of one competitor for the Ophthalmic PACS, which develops a similar solution, but it has minimal market presence.
 
The Company is aware of a few competitors for the EMR/EPM products, namely Allscripts, GE, and A4, which provide solutions for the multi-specialty medical market, including the ophthalmic market and a few smaller competitors, namely HCIT, Eye Doc and Compulink, which provide the EMR/EPM solutions predominantly to the eye care market.
 
The Company is aware of five primary competitors for the DSLI, namely Veatch, MVC, Kowa, Helioasis and Lombart. Additionally, there are approximately four other companies, which manufacture similar systems, but these systems currently have minimal market presence.
 
Although the Company will continue to work to develop new and improved products, many companies are engaged in research and development of new devices and alternative methods to diagnose and evaluate eye disease. Introduction of such devices and alternative methods could hinder the Company's ability to compete effectively and could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations. Many of the Company's competitors and potential competitors have substantially greater financial, manufacturing, marketing, distribution and technical resources than does the Company.
 
The NextGen(R) software products platforms of EPM (Enterprise Practice Management) and EMR (Electronic Medical Records) allows us to broaden our product offerings to the ocular health care industry. Despite this value added reseller, “VAR,” agreement, there is no guarantee that our sales efforts in this new endeavor will be successful in the future. Long sales cycles, new sales training requirements and potential resistance to the initial high cost of the software may be among those factors contributing to us not being successful in reselling these products.
 
If we do experience any degree of success in reselling these products, our gross margin could be negatively impacted. Our gross margin on the reselling of these products is lower than the majority of the products that we currently market.
 
Research and Development
 
The Company's net research and development expenditures in the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 were approximately $1,112,000 and $988,000, respectively. The Company has focused its recent research and development efforts on new digital image capture products. The Company expects its research and development expenditures to substantially increase. MediVision Medical Imaging Ltd, our parent company (“MediVision”) and other outsourced consultants currently conduct most of the research and development for the Company.
 
MediVision performs our research and development pursuant to a Research and Development Services Agreement dated as of January 1, 2004. Under this agreement, MediVision agreed to use its best efforts to develop a WinStation in accordance with OIS specifications included therein and OIS, in turn, agreed to pay, in monthly payments, 112% of MediVision’s research and development costs incurred in connection with developing the WinStation. The initial term of the agreement is for two years, to be automatically renewed for additional 12 month periods unless terminated by either party upon 6 months
 
6

prior written notice. The agreement is exclusive in that during the effective period OIS may not receive research and development services relating to the WinStation from other parties without MediVision’s prior written consent. Also under the agreement, MediVision must obtain OIS’ written approval prior to incur any new research and development expenses in connection thereunder. Moreover, the parties agreed to render to each other, all reasonable assistance in obtaining any regulatory approvals required in connection with the WinStation or any other results of the research and development services performed under the agreement. The parties also agreed that upon termination, (1) for 12 months, each party must maintain insurance reasonable to cover its liabilities, (2) for 24 months, MediVision agrees to not engage or participate in any business, anywhere in the world, that competes directly with the WinStation or OIS, unless mutually agreed, (3) for 18 months, OIS agrees to not engage or participate in any business, anywhere in the world, that competes directly with MediVision, unless mutually agreed, and (4) for 12 months, generally, neither party may employ any employees, contractors, or directors of the other party or interfere with the other party’s existing business or customer contracts, unless mutually agreed.
 
Patents, Trademarks and Other Intellectual Property
 
On June 15, 1993, the Company was issued United States Letters Patent No. 5,220,360 for "Apparatus and Method for Topographical Analysis of the Retina." This patent relates to the Glaucoma-Scope(R) apparatus, and methods used by the apparatus for topographically mapping the retina and comparing the mapping to previous mappings.
 
Further, although the Company believes that its products do not and will not infringe on patents or violate proprietary rights of others, it is possible that its existing rights may not be valid or that infringement of existing or future patents, trademarks or proprietary rights may occur or be claimed to occur by third parties.
 
The Company has registered trademarks for “AutoMontage,” and “Ophthalmology Office.”
 
In the event that any of the Company's products infringe patents, trademarks or proprietary rights of others, the Company may be required to modify the design of such products, change the names under which the products or services are provided or obtain licenses. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to do so in a timely manner, upon acceptable terms and conditions, or at all. The failure to do any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on the Company. There can be no assurance that the Company's patents or trademarks, if granted, would be upheld if challenged or that competitors might not develop similar or superior processes or products outside the protection of any patents issued to the Company. In addition, there can be no assurance that the Company will have the financial or other resources necessary to enforce or defend a patent or trademark infringement or proprietary rights violation action. Moreover, if the Company's products infringe patents, trademarks or proprietary rights of others, the Company could, under certain circumstances, become liable for damages, which also could have a material adverse effect on the Company.
 
The Company also relies on trade secrets, know-how, continuing technological innovation and other unpatented proprietary technology to maintain its competitive position. Certain of the proprietary software, optical interfaces and synchronization modules of the Company's digital imaging systems are largely proprietary and constitute trade secrets, but the basic computer hardware, software and video components are purchased from third parties. No patent applications have been filed with respect thereto. The Company anticipates aggressively defending its unpatented proprietary technology, although there is no assurance that others will not independently develop substantially equivalent proprietary information or techniques, or otherwise gain access to the Company's trade secrets or disclose such technology, or that the Company can meaningfully protect its rights to its unpatented trade secrets and other proprietary technology.
 
7

The Company seeks to protect its unpatented proprietary technology, in part, through proprietary confidentiality and nondisclosure agreements with employees, consultants and other parties. The Company's confidentiality agreements with its employees and consultants generally contain industry standard provisions requiring such individuals to assign to the Company without additional consideration any inventions conceived or reduced to practice by them while employed or retained by OIS, subject to customary exceptions. There can be no assurance that proprietary information agreements with employees, consultants and others will not be breached, that the Company would have adequate remedies for any breach or that the Company's trade secrets will not otherwise become known to or independently developed by competitors.
 
Government Regulation
 
The marketing and sale of the Company's products are subject to certain domestic and foreign governmental regulations and approvals. Pursuant to Section 510(k) of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act ("FDCA"), the Company is required to file, and has submitted, a pre-marketing notification with the FDA which provides certain safety and effectiveness information concerning the Company's diagnostic imaging systems, including its DSLI. The FDA has approved the Company's pre-marketing notification submittals, thereby granting the Company permission to market its products, subject to the general controls and provisions of the FDCA. The classification of the Company's products require, among other things, annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practices, labeling and prohibition against misbranding and adulteration. Further, because the Company is engaged in international sales, the Company's products must satisfy certain manufacturing requirements and may subject the Company to various filing and other regulatory requirements imposed by foreign governments as a condition to the sale of such products.
 
The Company has registered its manufacturing facility with both the FDA and certain California authorities as a medical device manufacturer and operates such facility under FDA and California requirements concerning Quality System Requirements ("QSR"). As a medical device manufacturer, the Company is required to continuously maintain its QSR compliance status and to demonstrate such compliance during periodic FDA and California inspections. If the facilities do not meet applicable QSR regulatory requirements, the Company may be required to implement changes necessary to comply with such regulations.
 
Although the FDA has made findings which permit the Company to sell its products in the marketplace, such findings do not constitute FDA approval of these devices, and the Company cannot predict the effect that future legislation or regulatory developments may have on its operations. Additional regulations, reconsideration of approvals granted under current regulations, or a change in the manner in which existing statutes and regulations are interpreted or applied may have a material adverse impact on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. Moreover, new products and services developed by the Company, if any, also may be subject to the same or other various federal and state regulations, in addition to those of the FDA.
 
Insurance
 
The Company maintains general commercial casualty and property insurance coverage for its business operations, as well as directors and officers insurance, flood insurance, and product liability insurance. As of December 31, 2005, the Company has not received any product liability claims and is unaware of any threatened or pending claims. To the extent that product liability claims are made against the Company in the future, such claims may have a material adverse impact on the Company.
 
8

Employees
 
As of December 31, 2005, the Company had 51 employees, all of which were full-time. The Company also engages the services of consultants from time to time to assist the Company on specific projects in the areas of research and development, software development, regulatory affairs and product services, as well as general corporate administration. Certain of these consultants periodically engage contract engineers as independent consultants for specific projects.
 
The Company has no collective bargaining agreements covering any of its employees, has never experienced any material labor disruption, and is unaware of any current efforts or plans to organize its employees. The Company considers its relationship with its employees to be good.

The Company leases under a noncancelable triple net lease expiring in June 2007, approximately 10,200 square feet of office, manufacturing and warehouse space in Sacramento, California. The Company also leases an approximately 200 square foot sales office in Simsbury, Connecticut on a month-to-month basis. Management believes that its existing facilities are suitable and adequate to meet its current needs. The Company pays minimum monthly lease payments, with respect to these properties, in the aggregate of approximately $9,200. Management believes its existing leased facilities are adequately covered by insurance. The Company has no current plans to significantly renovate, improve or develop any of its leased facilities. The Company does not have, and does not foresee acquiring, any real estate or investments in real estate, and is not engaged in any real estate activities.
 
Item 3.  Legal Proceedings
 
On March 9, 2004, we filed a civil action in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California against several of our former employees, led by former vice-president Mark Fukuhara, who have been doing business for the last two years as Imaging Service Group (ISG) and Zeta Development Laboratories in El Dorado Hills, California, and several affiliated persons and companies, including Dale Brodsky, Eyepictures, Inc., Johnny Justice Jr., and two of his ophthalmic equipment businesses, Zeta Development Labs, Inc. (doing business as Justice Diagnostic Imaging) and Justice Ophthalmics, Inc. The complaint alleges claims for misappropriation of trade secrets, violations of the federal computer fraud and abuse act, copyright infringement, breach of contract, interference with contract, and false advertising. In January 2006, we amended our complaint to include a claim for conversion based upon the alleged taking by some of the defendants of our imaging system equipment from our premises. The complaint seeks monetary damages as well as injunctive relief against the defendants.
 
On August 20, 2004, the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California granted in part our application for a preliminary injunction against certain of the defendants. In December 2004, the Court dismissed Johnny Justice, Jr. as an individual and Justice Ophthalmics, Inc. from the case. In October 2005, we reached a settlement of the case with Zeta Development Labs, Inc., under the terms of which Zeta Development Labs turned over to OIS the rights to its imaging systems and technology and agreed to stop selling the systems and was dismissed from the case. On February 23, 2006, the remaining defendants reached an agreement to resolve all remaining claims pursuant to a settlement agreement, to be reduced to writing, under which OIS will receive payment of $200,000 and the claims against the defendants will be dismissed.
 
9

Other than the action referred to above and immaterial claims in the ordinary course of business, to our knowledge, there are no material legal proceedings presently pending or threatened to which we (or any of our directors or officers in their capacity as such) are, or may be, a party or to which our property is, or may be, subject.

Item 6. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation.
 
General
 
We make forward-looking statements in this report, in other materials we file with the SEC or otherwise release to the public, and on our website. In addition, our senior management might make forward-looking statements orally to analysts, investors, the media and others. Statements concerning our future operations, prospects, strategies, financial condition, future economic performance (including growth and earnings) and demand for our products and services, and other statements of our plans, beliefs, or expectations, including the statements contained in this Item 6, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation,” regarding our future plans, strategies and expectations are forward-looking statements. In some cases these statements are identifiable through the use of words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “project,” “target,” “can,” “could,” “may,” “should,” “will,” “would” and similar expressions. We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions contained in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and in Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements because these forward-looking statements we make are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to various assumptions, risks, and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested by these forward-looking statements. Thus, our ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors which could have a material adverse effect on our operations and future prospects include, but are not limited to, changes in: economic conditions generally and the medical instruments market specifically, legislative or regulatory changes that affect us, including changes in healthcare regulation, the availability of working capital, the introduction of competing products, and other risk factors described herein. These risks and uncertainties, together with the other risks described from time to time in reports and documents that we filed with the SEC should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements, and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. (There also are other factors that we do not describe, generally, because we currently do not perceive them to be material that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations.) Indeed, it is likely that some of our assumptions will prove to be incorrect. Our actual results and financial position will vary from those projected or implied in the forward-looking statements, and the variances may be material. We expressly disclaim any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

To date, we have designed, developed, manufactured and marketed ophthalmic digital imaging systems and informatics solutions and has derived substantially all of its revenues from the sale of such products. The primary target market for our digital angiography systems and related products has been retinal specialists and general ophthalmologists.
 
In October 2001, MediVision, our parent company, signed an agreement to acquire a minority interest by Agfa Gevaert N.V. thus creating an alliance for joint development and marketing of an integrated, digital Ophthalmology PACS solution. These marketing efforts are anticipated to be implemented first in the US market, and are to include efforts by us. The extent and focus of future research and development efforts will depend, in large measure, on direction from MediVision, including potential collaborative projects between us and MediVision.
 
In June 2003, we signed a licensing agreement with NextGen Healthcare Information Systems, Inc., a subsidiary of Quality Systems, Inc. Under the terms of the agreement, we are a value added reseller of two computer-based practice management and medical records products: NextGen(R) Electronic Medical Records (EMR) and NextGen(R) Enterprise Practice Management (EPM).
 
This strategic business alliance diversifies our product portfolio, enabling us to offer a wider variety of products and comprehensive solutions to its customer base of ophthalmology departments and practices. The NextGen(R) EMR system creates and maintains complete medical records with minimal effort while it streamlines workflow, controls utilization, and manages critical data related to patient care outcomes. The NextGen(R) EPM system is a complete physician management system that provides a common registration system, enterprise-wide appointment scheduling, referral tracking, clinical support, a custom report writer, and patient financial management based on a managed care model.
 
In May 2003, we entered into a $150,000 line of credit agreement with our bank. Our line is secured by a pledged investment with the bank equal to the amount of the line of credit. The interest charged on the line of credit is at the prime rate and is due monthly. Advances on the line of credit mature on September 10, 2008.
 
In September 2003, we entered into a $1,200,000 debt agreement with Laurus Master Fund, Ltd (“Laurus”) in the form of a three-year convertible note with a fixed coupon price of 6.5% per annum. The convertible note may be converted by Laurus into our common stock at a fixed conversion price of $1.07. We also issued seven-year warrants to Laurus to purchase 375,000 shares of Common Stock at exercise prices ranging between $1.23 and $1.61 per share. On January 24, 2006, we re-paid all amounts outstanding under this convertible note.
 
In April 2004, we entered into a $1,000,000 debt agreement with Laurus in the form of a three-year convertible note with a fixed coupon price of 6.5% per annum. The convertible note may be converted by Laurus into our common stock at a fixed conversion price of $1.22. We also issued five-year warrants to Laurus to purchase 313,000 shares of our common stock at exercise prices ranging between $1.40 and $1.83 per share. On January 20, 2006, Laurus converted all amounts outstanding under this convertible note into 528,082 shares of our common stock.
 
On December 28, 2004, we entered into an investment agreement with Dutchess Private Equities Fund II, LP (“Dutchess”) providing for an equity line of credit. Pursuant to the investment agreement, Dutchess has agreed to provide us with up to $9,000,000 of funding during the thirty-month period beginning on the date that the registration statement we agreed to file providing for the resale of the shares of common stock issuable under the investment agreement is declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). During this thirty-month period, we may request a drawdown under the investment agreement by selling shares of its common stock to Dutchess, and Dutchess will be obligated to purchase the shares. We are under no obligation to request any drawdowns under the investment agreement.
 
13

The amount that we can request in any drawdown notice is, at our election, the greater of (A) up to 200% of the average daily volume of our common stock for the ten trading days prior to the date of the drawdown notice multiplied by the average of the three daily closing bid prices for the common stock immediately preceding the date of the drawdown notice or (B) $100,000; provided that we may not request more than $1,000,000 in any single drawdown. As of December 31, 2005, our registration statement was not declared effective; accordingly, no drawdowns have been made.

At December 31, 2005, we had stockholders’ equity of $4,624,198 and our current assets exceeded its current liabilities by $4,617,125. The 2003 and 2004 convertible loan agreements with Laurus have had a favorable impact on our current ratio.
 
There can be no assurance that we will be able to achieve or sustain significant positive cash flows, revenues or profitability in the future.
 
MediVision Transactions
 
From August 2000 through July 1, 2001, we executed several promissory notes in favor of MediVision, an Israeli corporation and majority shareholder in our Company. The Short-Term Note had a maximum principal balance of $260,000 available, while the Working Capital Funding Agreement and Amendment No.1 to this agreement provided an additional funding of $2,500,000. Both Notes and the Amendment bear interest at the rate of 9.3% per annum and are secured by all of our assets. The principal amount outstanding, together with any and all accrued interest on the Working Capital Note and Amendment, was payable by August 31, 2003, except that MediVision may, at its option, at any time convert any amount of principal and interest then outstanding into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $.80 per share on the Working Capital Note and $0.185 per share on the Amendment No.1 to the Working Capital Note. In May 2003, we entered into Amendment No. 2 to the Working Capital Funding Agreement and the Short Term Note with MediVision whereby the repayment terms on the debt were extended on all principal and interest due until January 1, 2005. As a result of cash payments and product shipments to MediVision discussed below, the principal and interest was paid during the first quarter of 2004. In June 2003, MediVision exercised its option, as stipulated in the Working Capital Funding Agreement, Amendment No. 1, to convert $1,150,000 of principal and interest at a conversion price of $0.185 per share into 6,216,216 shares of common stock.
 
In March 2004, our Board of Directors approved a line of credit to MediVision of $1,000,000 at 9.3% interest for two years. In January 2005, our Board of Directors approved an additional loan advance of $150,000 for a 30-day term.
 
On March 2, 2005, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement and Promissory Note with MediVision (the "Loan Agreement") whereby we agreed to loan MediVision up to $2,000,000. The Loan Agreement incorporated the $1,150,000 previously approved by our Board of Directors. Under the agreement, interest is 7.25% per annum and was paid on February 28, 2006, along with all outstanding principal due at that date. The Promissory Note was secured by 2,409,000 shares of our common stock owned by MediVision. The number of shares was based on the average closing price of our common stock during the last ten (10) business days of February 2005, which was $1.11, discounted by 25%. In the event that MediVision were to sell any shares of our stock it owns during the period of the agreement, a minimum of 50% of the proceeds from such sales would be required to be paid to us to reduce the outstanding amount owed. On July 28, 2005, we and MediVision entered into an amendment to the Loan Agreement whereby MediVision repaid $1,000,000 to us, decreasing the agreed upon loan of $2,000,000 to $1,000,000 and the amount of shares securing the loan was decreased by 1,204,500 shares.
 
14

In August 2002, our Board of Directors, at MediVision's request, authorized us to guarantee and/or provide security interests in our assets for certain of MediVision's loans with financial institutions, on the maximum aggregate amount of approximately $1,900,000. In August 2002, MediVision subordinated to the financial institutions its security position in our assets, which had been granted in consideration of loans to us from MediVision. In December 2002, our Board of Directors approved our issuance of two debentures in favor of the financial institutions to act as security for the debt of MediVision, which debentures were secured by a first lien on all of our assets. Such debentures and lien were signed in December 2002. The purpose of both debentures was to guarantee and/or provide a security interest for certain debts and liabilities of MediVision. On July 20, 2005, we replaced the existing debentures and lien in favor of the banks that we issued in an aggregate amount of up to $1,900,000, with a new debenture and lien in an aggregate amount of up to $2,000,000. One of the terminated debentures was issued in favor of United Mizrahi Bank Ltd. and the other terminated debenture was issued in favor of Bank Leumi Le-Israel. In lieu of the terminated debentures, we entered into a new Secured Debenture (the "Debenture") in favor of United Mizrahi Bank Ltd., in an amount of up to $2,000,000 (plus interest, commissions and all expenses). Under the terms of the Debenture, we guarantee the payment of all of the debts and liabilities of MediVision to United Mizrahi Bank. The Debenture is secured by a first lien on all of our assets. MediVision pledged 2,345,500 shares of our common stock it owns to us in order to secure the Debenture. The number of shares securing the Debenture is comprised of the 1,204,500 shares previously securing the promissory note under the Loan Agreement to cover $1,000,000 and 1,141,000 shares of our common stock (based on the average closing price of our common stock during the last ten (10) business days of February 2005, which was $1.17, discounted by 25%) to cover the second $1,000,000. The amount owed to the financial institutions by MediVision and secured by us as of December 31, 2005 was approximately $2,000,000.
 
As a result of the amendments to the Loan Agreement and the Debenture, the total number of shares securing the promissory note under the Loan Agreement and the Debenture, is 3,550,000 out of the 9,420,851 shares of our common stock owned by MediVision as of February 22, 2006.
 
At June 30, 2005 we had recorded a net amount due from MediVision of approximately $1,955,558 on the promissory note and approximately $28,539 net, due for products and services. On July 28, 2005, pursuant to the aforementioned Debenture signed by us, MediVision executed the amended Loan Agreement and paid back $1,000,000 of the loan from us; reducing the amount MediVision owed us on the promissory note to $955,558. On September 20, 2005, pursuant to a Common Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of September 16, 2005, between MediVision and Meadowbrook Opportunity Fund LLC, MediVision sold 400,000 shares of our common stock to Meadowbrook Opportunity Fund LLC at a price of $1.20 per share. MediVision used $240,000 of the proceeds from this sale to repay part of the aforementioned loan to us, reducing the amount MediVision owes us on the promissory note to $717,556, plus accrued interest under the loan. On December 8, 2005, MediVision sold 310,000 shares to the clients of an institutional investor at the price per share of $1.45. MediVision used $225,000 of the proceeds from this sale to repay part of the aforementioned loan to us, reducing the amount MediVision owes us on the promissory note to $492,556, plus accrued interest under the loan. On February 14, 2006, MediVision sold 1 million shares of our common stock to Wasatch Advisors, Inc. at the market price of $1.80 per share. MediVision used $492,556 of the proceeds from this sale to repay the remaining principal balance of the aforementioned loan to us.
 
Pursuant to a Common Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of June 1, 2004 between MediVision and S2 Partners LP, MediVision sold 550,000 shares of our common stock to S2 Partners LP at a price of $1.35 per share. On June 23, 2004, MediVision, through Nollenberger Capital Partners Inc. acting as its agent, sold an additional 500,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $1.38 per share.
 
15

As a result of the foregoing transactions, on December 31, 2005 and February 22, 2006, MediVision owned approximately 67% and 59%, respectively, of our outstanding common stock.
 
New Accounting Pronouncements.
 
Financial Accounting Pronouncement SFAS 123(R)
 
In December 2004 the FASB issued Statement Number 123 (revised 2004) (SFAS 23 (R)), Share-Based Payments. SFAS 123 (R) requires all entities to recognize compensation expense in an amount equal to the fair value of share-based payments such as stock options granted to employees. The Company is required to apply SFAS 123 (R) on a modified prospective method. Under this method, the Company is required to record compensation expense (as previous awards continue to vest) for the unvested portion of previously granted awards that remain outstanding at the date of adoption. In addition, the Company may elect to adopt SFAS 123 (R) by restating previously issued financial statements, basing the expense on that previously reported in their pro forma disclosures required by SFAS 123. SFAS 123 (R) is effective for the first reporting period beginning after June 15, 2005. For companies filing under Regulation S-B, SFAS 123 (R) is effective the beginning of the first interim or annual reporting period that begins after December 15, 2005, which for the Company will be the first quarter of the year ending December 31, 2006. The Company anticipates adopting SFAS No. 123(R) beginning in the quarter ending March 31, 2006. Management has not completed its evaluation of the effect that SFAS 123 (R) will have, but believes that the effect will be consistent with its previous pro forma disclosures.
 
Financial Accounting Pronouncement SFAS 151
 
In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, Inventory Costs (SFAS 151). SFAS 151 requires that abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs and spoilage be recognized as current period charges. Further, SFAS 151 requires the allocation of fixed production overheads to inventory based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. Unallocated overheads must be recognized as an expense in the period in which they are incurred. SFAS 151 is effective for inventory costs incurred beginning in the first quarter of 2006. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of SFAS 151 on its financial statements and related disclosures.
 
Financial Accounting Pronouncement SFAS 154
 
On June 7, 2005, the FASB issued Statement No. 154 (SFAS 154), Accounting Changes and error Corrections - a replacement of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 20, Accounting Changes, and SFAS no. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements. Under the provisions of SFAS 154, voluntary changes in accounting principles are applied retrospectively to prior periods’ financial statements unless it would be impractical to do so. SFAS 154 supersedes APB Opinion No. 20, which required that most voluntary changes in accounting principles be recognized by including in the current period’s net income the cumulative effect of the change. SFAS 154 also makes a distinction between “retrospective application” of a change in accounting principle and the “restatement” of financial statements to reflect the correction of an error. The provisions of SFAS 154 are effective for accounting changes made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. Management of the Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
 
16

Critical Accounting Policies
 
The Company’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The financial information contained in the financial statements is, to a significant extent, financial information based on effects of transactions and events that have already occurred. A variety of factors could affect the ultimate value obtained when earning income, recognizing an expense, recovering an asset or relieving a liability. The Company’s revenue recognition policies are in compliance with applicable accounting rules and regulations, including Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104 (“SAB 104”), “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements,” American Institute of Certified Public accountants (“AICPA”), Statement of Position (“SOP”) 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition,” SOP 98-9, “Modification of SOP 97-2”, with Respect to Certain Transactions and Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 00-21, “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables”. As such, revenue is recorded when there is evidence of an arrangement, delivery has occurred, the price is fixed and determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenue from installation and training services are recognized when such services are performed. Revenue generated from service contracts are recognized ratably over the term of the contracts. Estimates are used in determining the expected useful lives of depreciable assets. Management is also required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. In addition, GAAP itself may change from one previously acceptable method to another. Although the economics of the Company’s transactions would not change, the timing of the recognition of such events for accounting purposes may change.

Comparison of Year Ended December 31, 2005 to Year Ended December 31, 2004
 
Revenues
 
We decided to present installation income within our revenues, versus a net effect within sales and marketing expenses. We reclassified the respective 2004 amounts for comparative purposes.
 
Our revenues for the year ended December 31, 2005 were $13,650,507 ($13,013,510 without installation revenue) representing an increase of approximately 21% from revenues of $11,293,592 ($10,818,379 without installation revenues) for the year ended December 31, 2004. The increased revenues for 2005 include revenues from Winstation sales, including installation, Ophthalmology Office sales, and service revenues. Digital angiography systems and Ophthalmology Office products accounted for approximately 86% and 89% of our total revenues during 2005 and 2004, respectively. Service revenue for the years ended 2005 and 2004 accounted for approximately 14% and 11% of our total revenues, respectively. The increased revenues in 2005 reflect the impact of a number of factors discussed in further detail below.
 
Gross Margins
 
The changed presentation in connection with presenting installation income within our revenues, versus a net effect within sales and marketing expenses, resulted in a decrease in gross margins from approximately 60% to 58% in fiscal 2005 and 2004, respectively. We anticipate that our gross margins will decrease as our sales of the Ophthalmology Office software products become more significant, since the gross margins associated with such sales are lower than the majority of the products that we currently market.
 
Sales and Marketing Expenses
 
The changed presentation of installation income within our revenues, versus a net effect within sales and marketing expenses, resulted in a change in sales and marketing expenses. We reclassified the respective 2004 amounts for comparative purposes.
 
Sales and marketing expenses accounted for approximately 25% of total revenues during fiscal 2005 and 26% during fiscal 2004. Sales and marketing expenses were $3,439,046 ($3,373,529 with net installation) during fiscal 2005, representing an increase compared to sales and marketing expenses of $2,907,844 ($2,936,100 with net installation) in fiscal 2004. The increase in sales and marketing expenses were primarily the result of increased commissions from increased sales, increased marketing tradeshow expenses, and the hiring of two new sales representatives.
 
General and Administrative Expenses
 
General and administrative expenses accounted for approximately 11% of total revenues during both fiscal 2005 and 2004. Expense levels increased to $1,442,959 during fiscal 2005, representing an increase of approximately 20% compared to expenses of $1,205,765 during fiscal 2004. Increased general and administrative expenses were primarily the result of increased legal expenses.
 
Research and Development Expenses
 
Research and development expenses increased by approximately 13% to $1,112,023 during 2005 from $987,769 during 2004. Such expenses accounted for approximately 8% and 9% of total revenues during fiscal 2005 and fiscal 2004, respectively. During 2005, we focused our research and development efforts on new digital image capture products. We expect our research and development expenditures to increase substantially. Outside consultants and MediVision currently conduct our research and development.
 
19

Other Expense, net
 
Other expenses were $187,342 during 2005 compared to $252,100 during 2004. These amounts were comprised of interest expense associated with the convertible notes to Laurus, and financing arrangements provided to certain customers in connection with sales of our products, interest income related to the note receivable with MediVision, and debt financing amortization of costs associated with the set-up of the Laurus convertible notes.
 
Income Taxes
 
At December 31, 2005 and 2004, management reviewed recent operating results and projected future operating results. At the end of each of these years, management determined that it was more likely than not that a portion of the deferred tax assets attributable to net operating losses would not likely be realized.  Due to our limited history of profitable operations, management recorded a valuation allowance of $2,100,000 and $2,504,000 at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The amount of the valuation allowance will be adjusted in the future if management determines that it is more likely than not the deferred assets will be realized.
 
At December 31, 2005, we have a net operating loss carryover of approximately $3,346,000 for federal income tax purposes, which expires between 2007 and 2020, and a net operating loss carryforward of approximately $284,000 for California state income tax purposes, which expires through 2010. The State of California suspended the application of net operating losses for the 2002 and 2003 fiscal years and extended the carry forward period two years. Federal tax credit carryforwards of approximately $175,000 will begin to expire in 2007. Due to changes in ownership, which occurred in prior years, Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code provides for significant limitations on the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards and tax credits. As a result, a portion of these loss and credit carryovers may expire without being utilized.
 
Net Income
 
We reported net income of $1,755,254, or $0.12 basic earnings per share and $0.11 diluted earnings per share during 2005, compared to net income of $1,704,596, or $0.12 basic earnings per share and $0.11 diluted earnings per share during 2004. Earnings per share is calculated in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 (see Note 1 of Notes to Financial Statements included in Item 7 of this Form 10-KSB).
 
The results of operations for 2005 reflect the positive impact of our ongoing attention and resources to core marketing, selling, corporate operations and cost reduction measures. Growing sales of our digital angiography products and informatics solutions reflect the market’s acceptance of these products and the ongoing quality improvements to products to meet customers’ requirements. There can be no assurance, however, that there will be continued market acceptance of our products or that any continued market acceptance will result in significant future unit sales or revenue contribution.
 
Export Sales
 
Revenues from sales to customers located outside of the United States accounted for approximately 9% and 11% of our net sales for 2005 and 2004, respectively. Sales to MediVision, included in these totals, accounted for approximately 63% or $786,000 and 57% or $744,000 for 2005 and 2004, respectively.
 
20

Seasonality
 
The Company's most effective marketing tool is the demonstration and display of its products at the annual meeting of the American Academy of Ophthalmology held during the fall of each year, with a significant amount of our sales orders generated during or shortly after this meeting. Accordingly, we expend a considerable amount of time and resources during the fourth quarter of our fiscal year preparing for this event.
 
Comparison of Year Ended December 31, 2004 to Year Ended December 31, 2003
 
Revenues
 
We decided to present installation income within our revenues versus a net effect within sales and marketing expenses. We reclassified the respective 2004 and 2003 amounts for comparative purposes.
 
Our revenues for the year ended December 31, 2004 were $11,293,592 ($10,818,379 without installation revenue) representing an increase of approximately 9% from revenues of $10,336,138, ($9,944,827 without installation revenue) for the year ended December 31, 2003. The increased revenues for 2004 include revenues from initial deliveries of our newest digital angiography system, the WinStation 3200TM and the OIS WebStationTM common software platform released in October of 2004.  Digital angiography systems and peripherals, including upgrades and installation, accounted for approximately 89% and 92% of our total revenues during 2004 and 2003, respectively. Service revenue for the years ended 2004 and 2003 accounted for approximately 11% and 8% of our total revenue, respectively. The increased revenue levels during the 2004 period reflect the impact of a number of factors discussed in further detail below.
 
Gross Margins
 
The changed presentation in connection with presenting installation income within our revenues, versus a net effect within sales and marketing expenses, resulted in a decrease in gross margins from approximately 60% in during fiscal 2004 and 2003, to 58% in fiscal 2004 and 56% in fiscal 2003. It is anticipated that our gross margins will decrease as our sales of the Ophthalmology Office software products become more significant, since the gross margins associated with such sales are below the majority of the products that we currently market.
 
Sales and Marketing, Expenses
 
The changed presentation in connection with presenting installation income within our revenues, versus a net effect within sales and marketing expenses, resulted in a change in sales and marketing expenses. We reclassified the respective 2004 and 2003 amounts for comparative purposes.
 
Sales and marketing expenses accounted for approximately 26% of total revenues during fiscal 2004 and 27% during fiscal 2003. Sales and marketing expenses were $2,907,844 ($2,936,100 with net installation), during fiscal 2004, representing an increase of approximately 6% compared to expenses of $2,736,276 ($2,915,848 with net installation) in fiscal 2003. Increased expenses were primarily the result of increased commissions and additional marketing personnel
 
21

General and Administrative Expenses
 
General and administrative expenses accounted for approximately 11% and 10% of total revenues during both fiscal 2004 and 2003, respectively. Expense levels increased to $1,205,765 during fiscal 2004, representing an increase of approximately 13% compared to expenses of $1,068,635. Increased general and administrative expenses were primarily the result of increased investor relations expenses and legal expenses.
 
Research and Development Expenses
 
Research and development expenses increased by approximately 41% to $987,769 during 2004 from $702,020 during 2003. Such expenses accounted for approximately 9% and 7% of total revenues during fiscal 2004 and fiscal 2003, respectively. We focused our recent research and development efforts on new digital image capture products. We expect our research and development expenditures to increase. Outside consultants and MediVision currently conduct our research and development.
 
Other Expense, net
 
Other expenses were $252,100 during 2004 compared to $269,451 during 2003. These amounts were comprised principally of interest expense associated with the convertible notes to Laurus during fiscal 2004 and 2003, respectively and interest expense associated with financing arrangements provided to certain of the Company's customers in connection with sales of its products. Interest income in both periods was insignificant.
 
Income Taxes
 
At December 31, 2004 and 2003, management reviewed recent operating results and projected future operating results. At the end of each of these years, management determined that it was more likely than not that a portion of the deferred tax assets attributable to net operating losses would not likely be realized. Due to our limited history of profitable operations, management has recorded a valuation allowance of $2,504,000 and $3,497,000 at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The amount of the valuation allowance will be adjusted in the future if management determines that it is more likely than not the deferred assets will be realized.
 
At December 31, 2004, we had a net operating loss carryover of approximately $4,531,000 for federal income tax purposes, which expires between 2007 and 2020, and a net operating loss carryforward of approximately $1,306,000 for California state income tax purposes, which expires through 2010. The State of California suspended the application of net operating losses for the 2002 and 2003 fiscal years and extended the carry forward period two years. Federal tax credit carryforwards of approximately $175,000 will begin to expire in 2007. Due to changes in ownership, which occurred in prior years, Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code provides for significant limitations on the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards and tax credits. As a result, a portion of these loss and credit carryovers may expire without being utilized.
 
Net Income
 
We reported net income of $1,704,596, or $0.12 basic earnings per share and $0.11 diluted earnings per share during 2004, compared to a net income of $1,438,192, or $0.13 basic earnings per share and $0.12 diluted earnings per share during 2003. Earnings per share is calculated in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 (see Note 1 of Notes to Financial Statements included in Item 7 of this Form 10-KSB).
 
22

The results of operations for 2004 reflect the positive impact of our ongoing attention and resources to core marketing, selling, corporate operations and cost reduction measures. Growing sales of our digital angiography products reflect the market’s acceptance of these products and the ongoing product quality improvements made to meet customers’ requirements. There can be no assurance, however, that there will be continued market acceptance of our products or that any continued market acceptance will result in significant future unit sales or revenue contribution.
 
Export Sales
 
Revenues from sales to customers located outside of the United States accounted for approximately 11% and 9% of our net sales for 2004 and 2003, respectively. Sales to MediVision, included in these totals, accounted for approximately 57% or $744,000 and 56% or $482,000 for 2004 and 2003, respectively.
 
Seasonality
 
Our most effective marketing tool is the demonstration and display of our products at the annual meeting of the American Academy of Ophthalmology held during the fall of each year, with a significant amount of our sales orders generated during or shortly after this meeting. Accordingly, we expend a considerable amount of time and resources during the fourth quarter of its fiscal year preparing for this event.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Our operating activities provided cash of $1,807,858 during 2005 as compared to generating cash of $1,116,940 during 2004. The cash provided by operations during 2005 was substantially due to our increased profitability, accrued liabilities, and customer deposits, partially offset by increased receivables.
 
Net cash used in investing activities was $33,500 during 2005 versus $22,625 during 2004. Our primary investing activities consisted of minor capital asset acquisitions. We anticipate continued near-term capital expenditures in connection with increasing our pool of demonstration equipment, as well as our ongoing efforts to upgrade existing management information and corporate communication systems. We anticipate that related expenditures, if any, will be financed from cash flow from operations, or other financing arrangements available, if any.
 
We generated cash of $176,038 in financing activities during 2005 as compared to the usage of cash of $376,039 during 2004. The cash generated in financing activities during 2005 was principally from repayments of borrowings under existing arrangements with MediVision offset by payment of principal on notes with Laurus Master Fund. The cash used in financing activities during 2004 was principally from repayments of borrowings under existing arrangements with MediVision and advances to MediVision during fiscal 2004. These amounts were offset by the signing of the $1,000,000 convertible debt instrument with Laurus.
 
On December 31, 2005, our cash and cash equivalents were $3,940,706. Management anticipates that additional sources of capital beyond those currently available to it may be required to continue funding of research and development for new products and selling and marketing related expenses for existing products.
 
We will continue to evaluate alternative sources of capital to meet our cash requirements, including other asset or debt financing, issuing equity securities and entering into other financing arrangements and is hopeful that it will be successful in this regard. There can be no assurance, however, that any of the contemplated financing arrangements described herein will be available and can be obtained on terms favorable to us.
 
23

Trends
 
We are unaware of any known trends, events or uncertainties that have or are reasonably likely to have a material impact on our financial condition, results from operations, or short or long-term liquidity.
 
Inflation
 
We believe that inflation has not had a material or significant impact on our revenue or our results of operations.
 
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
The Company has a Secured Debenture in favor of United Mizrahi Bank Ltd., in an amount of up to $2,000,000 (plus interest, commissions and all expenses). Under the Debenture, we guaranteed the payment of all the debts and liabilities of MediVision to United Mizrahi Bank. The Debenture is secured by a first lien on all of our assets. MediVision pledged 2,345,500 shares of our common stock it owns to us in order to secure the Debenture. The amount owed to the financial institutions by MediVision and secured by us as of December 31, 2005 was approximately $2,000,000.

The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Ophthalmic Imaging Systems

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Ophthalmic Imaging Systems as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related statements of income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

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

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Ophthalmic Imaging Systems as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.             SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization and Business

Ophthalmic Imaging Systems (the "Company" or "OIS") was incorporated under the laws of the State of California on July 14, 1986. The Company, headquartered in Sacramento, California, is engaged in the business of designing, developing, manufacturing and marketing digital imaging systems, image enhancement and analysis software and informatics solutions for use by practitioners in the ocular health field. The Company’s products are used for a variety of standard diagnostic test procedures performed in most eye care practices.

Use of Estimates

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less as cash equivalents.

At December 31, 2005, the Company had deposits with carrying amounts of $3,940,706 and bank balances of $4,498,744. Federally insured balances totaled $300,000 and uninsured balances totaled $4,198,744 at December 31, 2005.

Concentrations of Credit Risk and Export Sales

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of temporary cash investments and trade receivables. The Company places its temporary cash investments with high credit quality financial institutions. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade receivables are limited due to the Company's policy of requiring deposits from customers, the number of customers and their geographic dispersion. The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses and such losses have historically been within management's expectations. No single customer comprised 10% or more of net sales, during the years ended December 31, 2005 or 2004.

Revenues from sales to customers located outside of the United States accounted for approximately 9% and 11% of net sales during the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Inventories

Inventories, which consist primarily of purchased system parts, subassemblies and assembled systems, are stated at the lower of cost (determined using the first-in, first-out method) or market.


Accounts Receivable Allowance

The Company generally offers to its customers terms of 50% deposit paid up-front, remaining 50% less installation portion net 15 days after shipment of product, and the installation portion after installation is complete. The reserve of accounts receivable balances are estimated based on historical experience and any specific customer/installation issues that have been identified. The Company periodically assesses the adequacy of its recorded accounts receivable allowance, and adjusts the balance as necessary.

As of December 31, 2005 and 2004, the accounts receivable allowance was $286,426 and $301,839 respectively.

F-11


1.            SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Furniture and Equipment

Furniture and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated or amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives generally range from three to seven years.

Revenue Recognition and Warranties

The Company derives revenue primarily from the sale, installation and training services of its products. In accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, Revenue Recognition, revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed and determinable, collectability is reasonably assured, contractual obligations have been satisfied, and title and risk have been transferred to the customer. The Company generally recognizes revenue from installation and training services when such services are performed. The Company generally provides a one-year warranty covering materials and workmanship and accruals are provided for anticipated warranty expenses.

Customers may purchase extended warranty coverage for additional one or four year periods. Revenues from the sale of these extended warranties are deferred and recognized in net sales on a straight-line basis over the term of the extended warranty contract.

Shipping and Handling Costs

Shipping and handling costs are included with cost of sales.

Advertising Costs

Advertising expenditures totaled approximately $62,178 and $82,413, for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Income Taxes

Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method, whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

At December 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company's financial instruments included cash, cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and borrowings. With the exception of borrowings, the fair value of these financial instruments approximated their carrying value because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The fair value of the Company's borrowings approximated their carrying value based upon management's review of market prices for financial instruments with similar characteristics.

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share (EPS), which excludes dilution, is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock, such as stock options, result in the issuance of common stock, which shares in the earnings of the Company. The treasury stock method is applied to determine the dilutive effect of stock options in computing diluted EPS.

Stock Based Compensation

The Company has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB 25) and related Interpretations in accounting for its stock option plans (the intrinsic value method). Under APB 25, if the exercise price of the Company's employee stock options equals or exceeds the fair value of the underlying stock on the date of grant as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors, no compensation expense is recognized. See Note 8 for additional disclosures regarding the Company's stock option plans.

Impact of New Financial Accounting Standards

Stock-Based Compensation

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement Number 123 (revised 2004) (SFAS 123 (R)), Share-Based Payments. SFAS 123 (R) requires all entities to recognize compensation expense in an amount equal to the fair value of share-based payments such as stock options granted to employees. The Company is required to apply SFAS 123 (R) on a modified prospective method. Under this method, the Company is required to record compensation expense (as previous awards continue to vest) for the unvested portion of previously granted awards that remain outstanding at the date of adoption. In addition, the Company may elect to adopt SFAS 123 (R) by restating previously issued financial statements, basing the expense on that previously reported in their pro forma disclosures required by SFAS 123. For companies filing under Regulation S-B, SFAS 123 (R) is effective the beginning of the first interim or annual reporting period that begins after December 15, 2005, which for the Company will be the first quarter of the year ending December 31, 2006. The Company anticipates adopting SFAS No 123 (R) beginning in the quarter ending March 31, 2006. Management has not completed its evaluation of the effect that SFAS 123 (R) will have, but believes that the effect will be consistent with its previous pro forma disclosures.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Inventory Costs

In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, Inventory Costs (SFAS 151). SFAS 151 requires that abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs and spoilage be recognized as current-period charges. Further, SFAS 151 requires the allocation of fixed production overheads to inventory based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. Unallocated overheads must be recognized as an expense in the period in which they are incurred. SFAS 151 is effective for inventory costs incurred beginning in 2006. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of SFAS 151 on the financial statements and related disclosures.

Financial Accounting Pronouncement SFAS 154

On June 7, 2005, the FASB issued Statement No. 154 (SFAS 154), Accounting Changes and error Corrections - a replacement of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 20, Accounting Changes, and SFAS no. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements. Under the provisions of SFAS 154, voluntary changes in accounting principles are applied retrospectively to prior periods’ financial statements unless it would be impractical to do so. SFAS 154 supersedes APB Opinion No. 20, which required that most voluntary changes in accounting principles be recognized by including in the current period’s net income the cumulative effect of the change. SFAS 154 also makes a distinction between “retrospective application” of a change in accounting principle and the “restatement” of financial statements to reflect the correction of an error. The provisions of SFAS 154 are effective for accounting changes made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. Management of the Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

Reclassifications

The Company made a decision to present installation income within the revenue line versus a net effect within sales and marketing expenses. The 2004 and 2003 numbers were reclassified for comparative purposes.

Product Warranty and Deferred Warranty Revenue

The Company generally offers a one-year warranty to its customers. The Company's warranty requires it to repair or replace defective products during the warranty period. At the time product revenue is recognized, the Company records a liability for estimated costs that may be incurred under its warranties. The costs are estimated based on historical experience and any specific warranty issues that have been identified. Although historical warranty costs have been within expectations, there can be no assurance that future warranty costs will not exceed historical amounts. The Company periodically assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty liability and adjusts the balance as necessary.

Product warranty reserve changes consist of the following as of December 31, 2005 and 2004:

In addition to the Company's one-year warranty, the Company offers an extended warranty for an additional charge to the customer. The Company records the sale of the extended warranty as deferred revenue and amortizes the revenue over the term of the agreement, generally one to two years. At December 31, 2005 and 2004, deferred extended warranty revenue was $861,486 and $793,972, respectively. At December 31, 2005 and 2004, service revenue was $1,902,278 and $1,223,923, respectively, and the related charges were $815,167 and $669,901, respectively.

During the period of August 2000 through July 1, 2001, we executed several promissory notes in favor of MediVision, an Israeli corporation and majority shareholder in our Company. The Short-Term Note had a maximum principal balance of $260,000 available, while the Working Capital Funding Agreement and Amendment No.1 to this agreement provided an additional funding of $2,500,000. Both Notes and the Amendment bear interest at the rate of 9.3% per annum and are secured by all of our assets. The principal amount outstanding, together with any and all accrued interest on the Working Capital Note and Amendment, was payable by August 31, 2003, except that MediVision may, at its option, at any time convert any amount of principal and interest then outstanding into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $.80 per share on the Working Capital Note and $0.185 per share on the Amendment No.1 to the Working Capital Note. In May 2003, we entered in Amendment No. 2 to the Working Capital Funding Agreement and the Short Term Note with MediVision whereby the repayment terms on the debt were extended on all principal and interest due until January 1, 2005. As a result of cash payments and product shipments to MediVision discussed below, the principal and interest was paid during the first quarter of 2004. In June 2003, MediVision exercised its option, as stipulated in the Working Capital Funding Agreement, Amendment No. 1, to convert $1,150,000 of principal and interest at a conversion price of $0.185 per share into 6,216,216 shares of common stock.
 
In March 2004, our Board of Directors approved a line of credit to MediVision of $1,000,000 at 9.3% interest for two years. In January 2005 our Board of Directors approved an additional loan advance of $150,000 for a 30-day term.

MediVision (Continued)

On March 2, 2005, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement and Promissory Note with MediVision (the "Loan Agreement") whereby we agreed to loan MediVision up to $2,000,000. The Loan Agreement incorporated the $1,150,000 previously approved by our Board of Directors. Under the terms of the agreement, interest is 7.25% per annum and is payable on February 28, 2006 along with all outstanding principal due at that date. The note was secured by 2,409,000 shares of our common stock owned by MediVision. The number of shares was based on the average closing price of shares of our stock during the period covering the last ten (10) business days of February, 2005, which average closing price was $1.11, discounted by 25%. In the event that MediVision were to sell any shares of our stock it owns during the period of the agreement, a minimum of 50% of the proceeds from such sales would be required to be paid to us to reduce the outstanding amount owed. On July 28, 2005, we and MediVision entered into an amendment to the Loan Agreement whereby MediVision repaid $1,000,000 to us, decreasing the agreed upon loan of $2,000,000 to $1,000,000 and the amount of shares securing the loan was decreased by 1,204,500 shares.
 
In August 2002, our Board of Directors, at MediVision's request, authorized us to guarantee and/or provide security interests in our assets for certain of MediVision's loans with financial institutions, on the maximum aggregate amount of approximately $1,900,000. In August 2002, MediVision subordinated to the financial institutions its security position in our assets, which had been granted in consideration of loans to us from MediVision. In December 2002, our Board of Directors approved our issuance of two debentures in favor of the banks to act as security for the debt of MediVision, which debentures were secured by a first lien on all of our assets. Such debentures and lien were signed in December 2002. The purpose of both debentures was to guarantee and/or provide a security interest for certain debts and liabilities of MediVision. On July 20, 2005, we replaced the existing debentures and lien in favor of the banks that were issued by us in an aggregate amount of up to $1,900,000, with a new debenture and lien in an aggregate amount of up to $2,000,000. One of the terminated debentures was issued in favor of United Mizrahi Bank Ltd. and the other terminated debenture was issued in favor of Bank Leumi Le-Israel. In lieu of the terminated debentures, we entered into a new Secured Debenture (the "Debenture") in favor of United Mizrahi Bank Ltd., in an amount of up to $2,000,000 (plus interest, commissions and all expenses). Under the terms of the Debenture, we guarantee the payment of all of the debts and liabilities of MediVision to United Mizrahi Bank. The Debenture is secured by a first lien on all of our assets. MediVision pledged 2,345,500 shares of our common stock it owns to us in order to secure the Debenture. The number of shares securing the Debenture is comprised of the 1,204,500 shares previously securing the promissory note under the Loan Agreement to cover $1,000,000 and 1,141,000 shares of our common stock (which number was based upon the average closing price of shares of our stock during the period covering the last ten (10) business days of February, 2005, which was $1.17, discounted by 25%) to cover the second $1,000,000. The amount owed to the financial institutions by MediVision and secured by us as of December 31, 2005 was approximately $2,000,000.

STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

Stock Option Plans

The Company applies APB 25 and related Interpretations in accounting for its stock options. Under APB 25, because the exercise price of the Company's stock options equals or is greater than the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation expense is recognized.

The Company has six stock-based compensation plans and Individual Stock Option Agreements. Options granted under these plans generally have a term of ten years from the date of grant unless otherwise specified in the option agreement. The plans generally expire ten years from the inception of the plans. Options granted under these agreements have a vesting period of three to four years. Incentive stock options under these plans are granted at fair market value on the date of grant and non-qualified stock options granted can not be less than 85% of the fair market value on the date of grant.

In December 2005, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a Stock Option Plan (the “2005 Plan”) under which all officers, employees, directors and consultants may participate. Subsequent to December 2005, the 2005 Plan was approved by consent of the Company’s majority shareholder. The 2005 Plan expires in December 2015. Options granted under the 2005 Plan are qualified stock options and will generally have a term of ten years from the date of grant, unless otherwise specified in the option agreement. The exercise prices of non-qualified stock options granted under the 2005 Plan cannot be less than the fair market value of the Company's common stock on the date of grant. The maximum number of shares of the Company’s common stock which may be optioned and sold under the 2005 Plan is 750,000, all of which are available for granting of options as of December 31, 2005.

STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY (Continued)

Stock Option Plans (Continued)

Pro forma information regarding net income and net income per share is required by SFAS 123, which also requires that the information be determined as if the Company has accounted for its employee stock options granted subsequent to August 31, 1995 under the fair value method of that Statement. The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively; dividend yield of zero; volatility factors of the expected market price of the Company's common stock ranged from 91% to 95% for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, risk-free interest rate of 4.42% and 4.04%; respectively, and a weighted-average expected life of 10 years.

The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options, which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Because the Company's employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management's opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options.

For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the options is amortized to expense over the options' vesting period. The Company's pro forma information follows:

At December 31, 2005 and 2004, management reviewed recent operating results and projected future operating results. At the end of each of these years, management determined that it was more likely than not that a portion of the deferred tax assets attributable to net operating losses would likely be realized. Due to the Company's limited history of profitable operations, management has recorded a valuation allowance of $2,100,000 and $2,504,000 at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The amount of the valuation allowance will be adjusted in the future if management determines that it is more likely than not the deferred assets will be realized.

The Company has at December 31, 2005, a net operating loss carryover of approximately $3,346,000 for Federal income tax purposes which expires between 2007 and 2020, and a net operating loss carryforward of approximately $284,000 for California state income tax purposes which expires through 2010. The State of California has suspended the application of net operating losses for the 2002 and 2003 fiscal years and extended the carry forward period two years.  Federal tax credit carryforwards of approximately $175,000 will begin to expire in 2007. Due to changes in ownership which occurred in prior years, Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code provides for significant limitations on the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards and tax credits. As a result of these limitations, a portion of these loss and credit carryovers may expire without being utilized.

Security Interest

Equity Line of Credit

On December 28, 2004, the Company entered into an investment agreement with Dutchess Private Equities Fund II, LP (Dutchess) providing for an equity line of credit. Pursuant to the investment agreement, Dutchess has agreed to provide the Company with up to $9,000,000 of funding during the thirty month period beginning on the date that a registration statement the Company agreed to file providing for the resale of the shares of common stock issuable under the investment agreement is declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission. During this thirty month period, the Company may request a drawdown under the investment agreement by selling shares of its common stock to Dutchess, and Dutchess will be obligated to purchase the shares. The Company is under no obligation to request any drawdowns under the investment agreement.

The amount that the Company can request in any drawdown notice is, at the Company’s election, the greater of (A) up to 200% of the average daily volume of the Company’s common stock for the ten trading days prior to the date of the drawdown notice multiplied by the average of the three daily closing bid prices for the common stock immediately preceding the date of the drawdown notice or (B) $100,000; provided that the Company may not request more than $1,000,000 in any single drawdown.

As of December 31, 2005, the Company’s registration statement had not been declared effective; accordingly no drawdowns have been made.
