THIS SUMMARY HIGHLIGHTS SELECTED INFORMATION CONTAINED ELSEWHERE IN THIS PROSPECTUS. YOU SHOULD ALSO READ THE ENTIRE PROSPECTUS CAREFULLY, INCLUDING THE RISK FACTORS AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.
DIMENSIONAL VISIONS INCORPORATED
OFFICES:
Dimensional Visions' office and principal place of business is located at 2301 West Dunlap Avenue, Suite 207, Phoenix, Arizona 85021, and its telephone number is (602) 997-1990.
OUR BUSINESS:
Dimensional Visions creates and delivers LIVING IMAGE(TM) Solutions for products, packaging and marketing communications.
LIVING IMAGE(TM) Solutions are multi-dimensional (commonly known as "3-D") and/or animated visual effects. These effects are created by viewing multiple images through a series of lenses incorporated into a plastic sheet called lenticular. Viewed in one direction, the lenses allow an individual to see stereo, i.e. multiple, views of an image simultaneously. Stereo views are interpreted by the brain as being in three dimensions. Alternatively, viewed in the other direction, the lenses restrict the view to a particular image that changes as the piece is moved creating an animation effect (i.e., it appears that the picture is moving).
Images are printed directly on the lenticular and then incorporated into or onto other products. For example, the images can be applied on products such as mouse pads, children's backpacks, business cards and notebooks. They may also be used on product packaging such as cereal boxes to differentiate the item from other similar products by adding a three-dimensional or animated component to attract the buyer's attention.
OUR OBJECTIVE:
Our objective is to become a dominant marketer, developer and producer of the LIVING IMAGE(TM) in the United States and internationally.
COMPETITION:
Currently Dimensional Visions has two major competitors who produce similar products. However, we have applied for a patent to protect our particular process.
OUR STRATEGY:
Our LIVING IMAGE(TM) Solutions offer multi-dimensional and/or animated images for the promotion marketing industry, advertising and graphic design industry, and original equipment manufacturers throughout the United States. Interested original equipment manufacturers include manufacturers making products that our images can be affixed to or included in their packaging to alter the traditional flat design.
OUR FINANCIAL POSITION:
The Company has sustained recurring losses through December 31, 2000 of $22,427,533. As of June 30, 2000, total assets exceeded total liabilities by $365,921. As of December 31, 2000, total liabilities exceeded total assets by $41,718. Three customers accounted for 82% and four customers accounted for 79% of the Living ImageTM revenue for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2000, and the six months ended December 31, 2000, respectively. Our independent auditors, Kopple & Gottlieb, LLP, expressed substantial doubt regarding the company's ability to continue as a going concern in the year ended June 30, 2000, financial statements.

RISK FACTORS
THE SHARES OFFERED IN THIS PROSPECTUS ARE VERY SPECULATIVE AND INVOLVE A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK. THESE SHARES SHOULD BE PURCHASED ONLY BY PEOPLE WHO CAN AFFORD THE LOSS OF THEIR ENTIRE INVESTMENT. BEFORE PURCHASING THESE SHARES, YOU SHOULD
CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING RISK FACTORS AND THE OTHER INFORMATION CONCERNING DIMENSIONAL VISIONS AND ITS BUSINESS CONTAINED IN THIS PROSPECTUS.
DIMENSIONAL VISIONS HAS INCURRED LOSSES SINCE INCEPTION AND MAY CONTINUE TO INCUR LOSSES IN THE FUTURE.
Dimensional Visions has operated at a loss for all of the periods for which financial statements are included in this prospectus. We must be able to garner market share from our competitors and/or establish new markets for our products. As lenticular products are more expensive alternatives to traditional flat images, we must establish market acceptance of the products while simultaneously generating sales into this market. The likelihood of our success depends on our ability to develop and produce multi-dimensional and/or animated print products in various formats and at competitive prices. Difficulties and delays in developing new formats using various lenticulars and new technologies for their application may affect our ability to successfully produce marketable products. Failure to overcome any of the above difficulties may have a materially adverse effect upon our business and could force us to reduce or close operations. No assurance can be given that Dimensional Visions can or will ever operate profitably. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," "Business of Dimensional Visions--Market and Penetration" and "--Competition."
THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS HAVE ISSUED A GOING CONCERN OPINION FOR THE FISCAL YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 AND 1999.
The company's independent auditors have included an explanatory paragraph regarding the company's ability to continue as a going concern for each of the fiscal years ended June 30, 2000 and 1999. Among the factors cited by the accountants that raised substantial doubt as to the company's ability to continue as a going concern are the company's continued recurring losses from operations and limited sales of its products.
DIMENSIONAL VISIONS IS DEPENDENT ON A LIMITED PRODUCT LINE AND HAS DECLINING RESOURCES ALLOCATED TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF NEW PRODUCTS.
The company's product line is composed solely of lenticular-based products. If the company's share of the market for these products fails to develop to a level sufficient to make the company profitable, there are no other products available for sale. In this case, the company would be forced to reduce or close operations. Additionally, the resources allocated to the development of new products have been declining, further reducing the availability of new products to market.
DIMENSIONAL VISIONS RELIES ON A FEW CUSTOMERS FOR THEIR SALES. WITHOUT REPEAT ORDERS FROM OUR CUSTOMERS, DIMENSIONAL VISIONS WOULD HAVE TO REDUCE OR CLOSE OPERATIONS.
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2000, and the six months ended December 31, 2000, three customers accounted for 82% and four customers accounted for 79% of the LIVING IMAGE(TM) revenue respectively. In addition, two customers accounted for 98% and 100% of the InfoPak, Inc. revenue for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2000, and the six months ended December 31, 2000. If Dimensional Visions were to lose their repeat customers, then the company would have to significantly curtail or close operations.
WE CANNOT GUARANTEE THAT OUR PRODUCTS WILL SELL SUCCESSFULLY THUS GENERATING SUFFICIENT REVENUE TO CONTINUE OPERATIONS.
There can be no assurance that our marketing and sales strategies will be effective and that consumers will buy our products. Our failure to penetrate our targeted markets would have a material adverse effect upon our operations. Market acceptance of our products will depend in part upon our ability to demonstrate the advantages of three-dimensional and/or animated products over similar or competing products described under the next risk factor of competition. In addition, our sales strategy contemplates sales to markets that are unfamiliar with multi-dimensional printed images and may not be accepting of these new products. Currently, we don't have any distribution agreements for any of our products in place. See "Business of Dimensional Visions--Market and Penetration" and "--Competition."
THERE IS COMPETITION FOR OUR PRODUCTS, AND THERE CAN BE NO ASSURANCE THAT CUSTOMERS WILL CHOOSE OUR PRODUCTS OVER THOSE OF OUR COMPETITORS. CUSTOMERS MAY CHOOSE LESS EXPENSIVE, CONVENTIONAL PRINTS OVER OUR PRODUCTS.
We compete with other established businesses that market similar products. Many of these companies have greater capital, marketing and other resources than we do. Also, other means of viewing three-dimensional and/or animated images exist. These other methods may be less expensive or easier to incorporate into other products. Further, traditional printed images are less expensive than our products and may be favored in many, if not most, illustration and promotion contexts. See "Business of Dimensional Visions--Competition."
DIMENSIONAL VISIONS DEPENDS ON KEY PERSONNEL FOR CRITICAL MANAGEMENT DECISIONS AND THESE KEY PERSONNEL MAY LEAVE DIMENSIONAL VISIONS IN THE FUTURE.
Our success depends, to a significant extent, upon a number of key employees, including our C.E.O./President, John McPhilimy, and our Senior Vice President, Bruce D. Sandig. The loss of services of one or more of these employees could have a material adverse effect on our business. We believe that our future success will also depend in part upon our ability to attract, retain, and motivate qualified personnel. Competition for such personnel is intense. There can be no assurance that we can attract and retain such personnel. We have "key person" life insurance on both Mr. McPhilimy and Mr. Sandig. See "Management."
DIMENSIONAL VISIONS MAY REQUIRE ADDITIONAL FINANCING FOR ITS BUSINESS THAT COULD DILUTE THE OWNERSHIP OF EXISTING STOCKHOLDERS AND FORCE DIMENSIONAL VISIONS TO CURTAIL OR CLOSE OPERATIONS.
Our future cash requirements will depend significantly on generating sufficient cash flow from operations to cover our cost of goods sold and operating costs or "burn rate" of approximately $70,000 per month. To continue operations, the Company must obtain sufficient funds from the Swartz equity line agreement and/or the line of credit from the investor group. Any equity financings could result in dilution to our stockholders. Also, if the price of our common stock declines or the trading volume in our common stock is low, we will only be able to utilize the current line of credit per the investor group agreement. Once the credit line is used, we would only have the Swartz equity agreement for additional financing. However, the future market price and volume of trading our common stocks limits the rate at which we can obtain money under the Swartz equity line agreement.
UP TO 33,681,207 SHARES OF COMMON STOCK OF DIMENSIONAL VISIONS WILL BECOME ELIGIBLE FOR PUBLIC SALE THAT COULD HAVE A DEPRESSIVE EFFECT ON THE STOCK.
When our registration statement, of which this prospectus is a part, is declared effective by the SEC, 222,207 shares of our common stock will be eligible for immediate resale on the public market and 2,559,000 shares of our common stock underlying warrants and convertible debt, upon their exercise or conversion, will be eligible for immediate resale on the public market for our common stock. Also 25,000,000 shares will be available for sale upon the issuance of stock to Swartz based on limitations of our trading volume and stock price. The remaining 4,900,000 shares underlying warrants will be available upon ongoing profitability of the Company beginning on June 30, 2001 or upon the discretion of the Board of Directors and 250,000 shares underlying warrants upon the Company borrowing from their line of credit with an investor group. Additionally, If a significant number of shares are offered for sale simultaneously, it would have a depressive effect on the trading price of our common stock on the public market. If and when we exercise our put rights and sell shares of our common stock to Swartz, if and to the extent that Swartz sells the common stock, our common stock price my decrease due to the additional shares in the market.
DIMENSIONAL VISIONS' COMMON STOCK IS CURRENTLY CLASSIFIED AS A "PENNY STOCK" WHICH COULD CAUSE INVESTORS TO EXPERIENCE DELAYS AND OTHER DIFFICULTIES IN TRADING IN THE STOCK MARKET.
Dimensional Visions' common stock is quoted and traded on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board ("Bulletin Board"). As a result, an investor could find it more difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of, the stock. In addition, trading in the common stock is covered by what is known as the "Penny Stock Rules." The Penny Stock Rules require brokers to provide additional disclosure in connection with any trades involving a stock defined as a "penny stock," including the delivery, prior to any penny stock transaction, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated therewith. The regulations governing penny stocks could limit the ability of brokers to sell the shares offered in this prospectus and thus the ability of the purchasers of this Offering to sell these shares in the secondary market. Dimensional Visions' stock will be covered by the Penny Stock Rules until it has a market price of $5.00 per share or more, subject to certain shares exceptions.
THE OFFERING PRICE OF THESE SHARES MAY NOT HAVE ANY RELATIONSHIP TO OUR NET OR WORTH FUTURE TRADING VALUE.
The shares being registered in this prospectus were offered at the market price prevailing at the time of the offer. The market price of these shares may have a limited relationship, or no relationship, to our assets, book value, results of operations, or other established criteria of value. The offering price also may not be indicative of the prices that will prevail in the subsequent trading market for our securities.
NO DIVIDENDS HAVE BEEN PAID ON COMMON STOCK AND MAY NEVER BE PAID. REQUIRED DIVIDENDS IN ARREARS ON ON PREFERRED STOCK MUST BE PAID BEFORE ANY DIVIDENDS ARE PAID ON COMMON STOCK.
Dimensional Visions has never paid dividends on its common stock and does not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Dimensional Visions is in dividends required to be paid on its Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock. The unpaid cumulative dividends total arrears approximately $74,225 and must be paid before dividends on common stock can be declared or paid. See "Dividend Policy" and Note 10 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
ALTHOUGH DIMENSIONAL VISIONS HAS PATENTS, THIRD PARTIES MAY DEVELOP SIMILAR OR COMPETITIVE TECHNOLOGY. DIMENSIONAL VISIONS CAN GIVE NO ASSURANCE THAT ITS OWN TECHNOLOGY DOES NOT INFRINGE ON EXISTING PATENTS.
Dimensional Visions enters into confidentiality agreements with all persons and entities who or which may have access to our technology. However, no assurance can be given that such agreements, the patents, or any additional patents that may be issued to Dimensional Visions will prevent third parties from developing similar or competitive technology. There can be no assurance that the patents will provide us with any significant competitive advantages, or that challenges will not be instituted against the validity or enforceability of its patents, or if instituted that any such challenges will not be successful. The cost of litigation to uphold the validity and prevent infringement can be substantial. In addition, no assurance can be given that we will have sufficient resources to either institute or defend any action, suit or other proceeding by or against our company with respect to any claimed infringement of patent or other proprietary rights. In the event that we should lose, in the near future, the protection afforded by the patents and any future patents, such event could have a material adverse effect on our operations. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that our own technology will not infringe patent or other rights owned by others or licenses to which may not be available to us.
DIMENSIONAL VISIONS RELIES ON THIRD PARTY PRINTERS THAT COULD RESULT IN A DELAY OF OUR PRODUCT TO OUR CUSTOMERS AND SUBSTANTIALLY DECREASE OUR SALES IF OUR PRINTERS BECAME UNABLE TO FULFILL OUR ORDERS.
Dimensional Visions relies on two large lithographic printers and one photographic printer for most of its printing needs. If we were unable to use these printers, it could delay the sales orders to our customers. We would have to find another printer which may require additional time to schedule production. Even though the majority of our print jobs are completed at our printer in Minneapolis, MN, we can now rely on another printer in Los Angeles, CA.
USE OF PROCEEDS
The primary use of proceeds raised through the issuance of stock registered in this prospectus will be for working capital, sales and marketing expenses and other general corporate purposes. Of the 25,222,207 shares of common stock being registered, 222,207 are already issued and outstanding. The remaining 25,000,000 are to establish a credit line sufficient to meet these current expenses and allow for the growth of the company. If an advantageous acquisition opportunity presents itself and the stock price is sufficiently high to make an acquisition reasonable, additional proceeds may also be used to make such an acquisition.
THE SWARTZ INVESTMENT AGREEMENT
OVERVIEW
On December 13, 2000, we entered into an investment agreement with Swartz Private Equity, LLC. The investment agreement entitles us to issue and sell up to $20 million of our common stock to Swartz, subject to a formula based on stock price and trading volume, from time to time over a three year period beginning on the date that this registration statement is declared effective. We refer to each election by us to sell stock to Swartz as a put right.
PUT RIGHTS
In order to invoke a put right, we must have an effective registration statement
on file with the SEC registering the resale of the common shares which may be
issued as a consequence of the invocation of that put right and we must be
trading on at least the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board. Additionally, we must
give at least ten but not more than twenty business days' advance notice to
Swartz of the date on which we intend to exercise a particular put right and we
must indicate the number of shares of common stock we intend to sell to Swartz.
At our option, we may also designate a maximum dollar amount of common stock not
to exceed $2 million which we will sell to Swartz during the put and/or a
minimum purchase price per common share, if applicable, at which Swartz may
purchase shares during that put. The designated minimum purchase price per
common share, if we chose to specify one, shall be no greater than the lesser of
(i) 80% of the closing bid price of our common stock on the business day prior
to the date of the advance put notice or (ii) the closing bid price of our
common stock on the business day prior to the date of the advance put notice,
minus $.125. The number of common shares sold to Swartz in a given put may not
exceed the lesser of:
- 15% of the aggregate daily reported trading volume, excluding any
block trades of 20,000 or more shares of common stock, during a period
which begins on the business day immediately following the day we
invoked the put right and ends on and includes the day which is twenty
business days after the date we invoked the put right, excluding,
however, certain days where the common shares trade below a minimum
price specified by us.
- 15% of the sum aggregate daily reported trading volumes, excluding
block trades of 20,000 or more shares of common stock, for the twenty
business days immediately preceding the put date.
- The intended put amount, specified in our put notice,
- The number of our shares, which when multiplied by the put share
price, equals $2 million,
- An amount of put shares, which when added to the number of put shares
acquired by the investor during the 61 days preceding the put date
would exceed 9.99% of the number of common shares outstanding on a
fully diluted basis.
For each common share, Swartz will pay us the lesser of:
- the market price for the applicable pricing period, minus $.075 or
- 91% of the market price for the applicable pricing period.
Market price is defined as the lowest closing bid price for common stock during the pricing period. The pricing period is the period beginning on the business day immediately following the put date and ending on and including the date which is twenty business days after such put date.
We are registering 25,000,000 shares to be sold to Swartz in puts. Therefore, in order for the Company to receive $20,000,000, the average sale price of these shares would need to be $.80. Unless our share price increases drastically, we will need to register additional shares in order to access the $20,000,000 maximum.
Our closing price on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board as of March 6, 2001 was $.27. The maximum allowable number of shares per put under the Investment Agreement is 1,500,000 shares. Assuming our trading price remained at its current level, even if we put the maximum allowable shares per put to Swartz under the investment agreement, each put would yield only $292,500 in proceeds to us. The restrictions discussed, such as the restriction limiting the put amount to a percentage of our aggregate trading volume, may operate to prevent us from putting the maximum allowable number of shares. The 30,000,000 shares that Swartz may sell under this prospectus would represent 74.37% of the Company if they were all issued assuming that we don't issue any other shares in the future.
WARRANTS
We have delivered to Swartz warrants to purchase 1,309,000 shares of our common stock at anytime for seven years. The warrants will have semi-annual reset provisions. Each warrant will be immediately exercisable and have a term beginning on the date of issuance and ending seven years thereafter. All shares underlying these warrants are being registered in this prospectus.
LIMITATIONS AND CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO OUR PUT RIGHTS
Our ability to put shares of our common stock, and Swartz's obligation to purchase the shares, is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. These conditions include: - We have satisfied all obligations under the agreements entered into between us and Swartz in connection with the Swartz investment agreement;
- Our common stock is listed and traded on Nasdaq, the O.T.C. Bulletin
Board, or an exchange;
- Our representations and warranties in the Swartz investment agreement
are accurate as of the date of each put;
- We have reserved for issuance a sufficient number of shares of our
common stock to satisfy our obligations to issue shares under any put
and upon exercise of warrants;
- The registration statement for the shares we will be issuing to Swartz
must remain effective as of the put date and no stop order with
respect to the registration statement is in effect;
- If the number of shares to be put to Swartz, together with any
previously put to Swartz, would equal 20% of all shares of our common
stock that would be outstanding upon completion of the put, we must
obtain shareholder approval of such excess issuance as required by
Nasdaq rules.
Swartz is not required to acquire and pay for any common shares with respect to any particular put for which during the period beginning on the date of the advance put notice and ending on the last day of the pricing period:
- We have announced or implemented a subdivision or combination of our
common stock;
- We have paid a common stock dividend;
- We have made a distribution of all or any portion of our assets
between the put notice date and the date the particular put closes; or
- We have consummated a major transaction between the advance put notice
date and the date the particular put closed.
SHORT SALES
Swartz and its affiliates are prohibited from engaging in short sales of our common stock, except that after they have received a put notice, they may sell a number of the shares in long sales or short sales, up to the number of shares specified in the put notice.
CANCELLATION OF PUTS
We must cancel a particular put if between the date of the advance put notice and the last day of the pricing period:
- We discover an undisclosed material fact that would require the registration statement to be amended or supplemented in order to remain current and effective;
- The registration statement registering resales of the common shares becomes ineffective; or - Shares are delisted from the then primary exchange.
NON-USAGE FEE
On the last business day of each one year period following the effectiveness of the registration period, if we have not put $1,000,000 of our stock to Swartz, we will be required to pay Swartz a non-usage fee equal to the difference of $50,000 and 10% of the aggregate put amounts to Swartz during the first one year period and $100,000 and 10% of the aggregate put amounts to Swartz during the remaining year periods thereafter.
TERMINATION OF INVESTMENT AGREEMENT
We may terminate our right to initiate further puts or terminate the investment agreement by providing Swartz with notice of such intention to terminate; however, any such termination will not affect any other rights or obligations we have concerning the investment agreement or any related agreement.
RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL
During the term of the investment agreement and for 60 days after its termination, we are prohibited from issuing or selling any capital stock or securities convertible into our capital stock for cash in private capital raising transactions, without obtaining the prior written approval of Swartz. In addition, Swartz has the option to for 10 days after receiving notice to purchase such securities on the same terms and conditions.
SWARTZ'S RIGHT OF INDEMNIFICATION
We are obligated to indemnify Swartz, including their affiliates, stockholders, officers, directors, employees and agents, from all liability and losses resulting from any misrepresentations or breaches we made in connection with the investment agreement, our registration rights agreement, other related agreements, or the registration statement.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion regarding the financial statements of Dimensional Visions should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of Dimensional Visions included herewith.
OVERVIEW
Dimensional Visions is engaged in the business of manufacturing multi-dimensional marketing promotional products.
SELECTED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL DATA
You should read the selected consolidated financial data set forth below along with "Management's Discussion and Analysis" and our consolidated financial statements and the related notes. We have derived the consolidated financial data for 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999 and 2000 from our audited consolidated financial statements. We believe the unaudited financial data shown in the table below include all adjustments consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, that we consider necessary for a fair presentation of such information. Operating results for the six months ended December 31, 2000, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for all of 2001. Potentially dilutive common shares have been excluded from the shares used to compute earnings per share in each loss year because their inclusion would be antidilutive.

PLAN TO ADDRESS GOING CONCERN OPINION
The company's independent certified public accountants' report on the company's consolidated financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2000 contains an explanatory paragraph regarding the company's ability to continue as a going concern. Among the factors cited by the accountants that raised substantial doubt as to the company's ability to continue as a going concern are the company's continued recurring losses from operations and limited sales of its products. The accountants state that the company's ability to continue as a going concern is subject to the attainment of profitable operations or obtaining necessary funding from outside sources. The company has developed a plan to achieve profitability and allay doubts as to its ability to continue as a going concern. This plan includes: (1) increased marketing of its existing products to increase sales; and (2) utilize long term financing through securities offerings.
INCREASED MARKETING. As indicated in the Use of Proceeds, the company will use a portion of the proceeds to expand its sales force and fund product marketing. The company believes these efforts will result in increased sales of its products.
LONG TERM FINANCING THROUGH SECURITIES OFFERINGS. The company has established an equity line agreement with Swartz Private Equity of up to $20,000,000 with common shares and shares underlying warrants registered under this prospectus. This investment agreement is subject to a formula based on our stock price and trading volume. See "The Swartz Investment Agreement". Management believes that proceeds from any offerings using this line, together with our anticipated cash flow from sales of the company's products, will be sufficient to support currently anticipated working capital requirements.
FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2000, AS COMPARED TO FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 1999
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The net loss for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2000, was $1,021,145 compared with a net loss of $1,465,812 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1999. The gross margin increased from $179,190, representing 24% of fiscal year 1999 operating revenue, to $346,841, representing 34% of fiscal year 2000 operating revenue. Approximately $175,000 of the increase in general and administrative expenses was the result of the amortization of one time consulting contracts paid through the issuance of the Company's common stock. Other general and administrative expense categories that increased significantly were salary, lease expense and stock/proxy related expenses. Marketing expenses decreased from $301,630 in fiscal year 1999, to $110,270 in fiscal year 2000. Marketing salary and commissions decreased by approximately $110,000 and travel and entertainment by $13,000. Management believes that marketing expenses will increase in the fiscal year 2001, as a result of hiring of new sales staff and the beginning of a nationwide marketing campaign. Of the $173,878 of interest expense for the fiscal year 2000, approximately $49,572 was paid with the Company's common stock on June 19, 2000. An additional $116,215 was simultaneously converted with their associated interest.
Revenue for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2000, was $1,008,862 compared to revenue of $741,901 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1999. Approximately $980,000 or 97% of total revenue for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2000, was from print products compared to $614,000 or 83% of total revenue for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1999. Sales of products and licensing fees for InfoPak, Inc., which include the palm-top computers and associated database software, are continuing to diminish. Management plans to continue to focus its efforts on growing the revenue generated from the 3D/animated print products.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of June 30, 2000, the Company had a working capital of $205,284 compared with a working capital deficiency of $603,946 as of June 30, 1999. The increase in working capital is largely attributable to the increase in cash of approximately $258,000, an increase in account receivable of $270,000, and the conversion of short-term debt and accrued interest into shares of the Company's common stock. During the period ended June 30, 2000,the Company raised a total of $1,050,000 before expenses of approximately $94,500 through the sale of its Series D and Series E Preferred Stock.
The Company extended an offer to its debenture holders and certain creditors to convert their debt to equity in the Company. The offer, which expired on October 15, 1999, permitted the conversion of debt into shares of the Company's common stock at prices ranging from $.25 to $.375 per share. Interest on the debentures accrued at 12% per annum through January 31, 2000. Additionally, certain accounts payable were offered the opportunity to convert their receivables into shares of Dimensional Visions' common stock at $.375 per share. On June 19, 2000, following the effective date of the registration statement, the entire outstanding balance of $720,000 of debentures and $60,748 of accounts payable were converted into shares of the Company's common stock. A total of 2,601,021 shares were issued to convert the accounts payable and the debentures including accrued interest.
Dimensional Visions plans to become profitable through increased sales of its LIVING IMAGE(TM) products while maintaining current or higher gross margins. The Company has a strong relationship with its printer which includes preferential treatment, the ability to quickly produce products requested by customers, and the resources to significantly expand production without a commensurate increase in expenses. Our current customers are reordering products on a regular basis which reduces our cost of sales. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 1999, eight customers ordered additional products compared to ten customers for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2000. These customers are also increasing their order quantities indicating a growing acceptance of our 3D/animated products in the market place. The Company's three largest customers ordered $64,940, $31,844 and $175,574 worth of products in the fiscal year 1999 compared to $119,571, $159,748 and $538,653 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2000.
The Company's independent auditors report contained an explanatory paragraph regarding the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2000, AS COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31,
1999
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The net loss for the six months ended December 31, 2000 was $598,780, compared to a net loss of $459,051 for the six months ended December 31, 1999. The Company's marketing expenses for the six months ended December 31, 2000 increased by approximately $95,000. This increase is due to the addition of two salesmen along with their travel expenses. The Company's engineering expenses for the six months ended December 31, 2000 increased by approximately $57,000 over the same period last year. This increase was attributed to the increase in the Company's design staff. The Company also increased their general and administrative expenses for the six months ended December 31, 2000 by $44,000 over the six months ended December 31, 1999. The Company attributes this increase to an arbitration settlement of disputed invoices for commissions and the increase in the administrative staff.
Revenue for the six months ended December 31, 2000 was $162, 996 compared to revenue of $300,418 for the six months ended December 31, 1999. Revenue for the six months ended December 31, 1999 was boosted by $103,000 through the sale of Pokemon products that are no longer being ordered. Generally, the sales volume for the six months ended December 31, 2000 without Pokemon was down approximately $34,000.
As a result of the decline in revenue, the Company has reduced its fixed overhead costs by reducing the number of personnel employed by the Company. As of December 31, 2000, the Company's work force has been reduced by six employees which will result in a savings of approximately $100,000 through June 30, 2001.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
During the six months ended December 31, 2000, the Company collected approximately $310,000 of accounts receivable. Substantially all the cash received and cash on hand was used to support operations. The Company will utilize the secured line of credit to sustain operations until its sales will support the Company's operations and growth. The Company is continually focusing on expanding its customer base through its marketing and sales campaign.
As of December 31, 2000 the Company's financial position is precarious. The Company needs funding in order to maintain current operations and to support growth and sales. The Company has secured a $500,000 line of credit on January 12, 2000 that was obtained by an investor group of existing shareholders of the Company secured by the Company's assets. Additionally, the Company finalized an equity line with Swartz Private Equity, LLC to provide funding through the sale of the Company's common stock. The Company has the right at its sole discretion to put common stock to Swartz, subject to certain limitations and conditions based upon trading volume of the Company's common stock. However, due to the current limited trading volume of the Company's common stock, the Company would not be able to raise significant funding from this arrangement. The put to the investment firm is based upon trading volume and cannot exceed 10% of the volume per trade day.
FLUCTUATIONS IN OPERATING RESULTS; SEASONALITY
Annual and quarterly fluctuations in Dimensional Visions' results of operations may be caused by the timing and composition of orders from Dimensional Visions' customers and distribution channels. Dimensional Visions' future results also may be affected by a number of factors, including its ability to offer products at competitive prices and to anticipate customer demands. Dimensional Visions' results may also be affected by economic conditions in the geographical areas in which Dimensional Visions operates. All of the foregoing may result in substantial unanticipated quarterly earnings shortfalls or losses. Due to all of the foregoing, Dimensional Visions believes that period-to-period comparisons of its results of operations are not necessarily meaningful and should not be relied upon as indicative of future performance.

BUSINESS OF DIMENSIONAL VISIONS
GENERAL
Dimensional Visions creates and delivers LIVING IMAGE(TM) Solutions for products, packaging and marketing communications.
LIVING IMAGE(TM) Solutions are multi-dimensional (commonly known as "3-D") and/or animated visual effects. These effects may be produced in varying sizes to specified customer applications for companies who want to differentiate their products from the competition. The visual effects are created by viewing multiple images through a series of lenses incorporated into a plastic sheet called lenticular. These lenses work as a viewer which self adjusts to whatever distance the viewer is from the image. Viewed in one direction, the lenses allow the individual to see multiple views of an image simultaneously. These multiple views are seen as being in three dimensions. Alternatively, viewed in the other direction, the lenses restrict the view to a particular image that changes as the piece is moved, thus creating an animation effect (i.e., the picture appears to be moving).
Our objective is to become a dominant marketer, developer and producer of the LIVING IMAGE(TM) in the United States and internationally.
Our LIVING IMAGE(TM) Solutions offer multi-dimensional and/or animated images for the promotion marketing industry, advertising and graphic design industry and original equipment manufacturers throughout the United States.
InfoPak, Inc. is our one active subsidiary company. InfoPak manufactures and markets a hardware/software PACKAGED product line called the "InfoPakSystem(TM)." This system was designed to handle substantial offline information and databases that may require frequent updating.
We have decided to focus all of our resources on our LIVING IMAGE(TM) product line. During Fiscal Year 1999, we retained Chapman Associates, an investment banking firm, to assist us in the sale of our InfoPak, Inc. subsidiary. To date, we have not found a buyer. We will continue to support the operations of InfoPak until it is sold or our Board of Directors decides to discontinue its operations.
Dimensional Visions office and principal place of business is located at 2301 West Dunlap Avenue, Suite 207, Phoenix, Arizona 85021, and its telephone number is (602) 997-1990.
OUR HISTORY
FISCAL YEARS 1988-1994
In 1988 Dimensional Visions Group, Ltd. (Bulletin Board: DVGL) was incorporated in the state of Delaware. Dimensional Visions was headquartered in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. At that time, Dimensional Visions created its three-dimensional effects by building model sets and photographing these sets using a robotic controlled camera. These photographed images were then prepared for lithographic printing. The process utilized during this timeframe was very expensive and extremely difficult to consistently reproduce quality images. Throughout this period Dimensional Visions tried unsuccessfully to perfect the robotic camera process.
FISCAL YEARS 1995-1997
In 1995 Dimensional Visions acquired InfoPak, Inc. of Phoenix, Arizona ("InfoPak") which is currently our wholly owned subsidiary. InfoPak manufactures and markets a hardware/software package called the "InfoPakSystem(TM)". This system takes existing databases and prepares them for use on a palm-top computer manufactured by InfoPak. It is particularly useful to individuals who need access to information while away from a computer terminal. Therefore, it is marketed to mobile business professionals in the automobile appraisal and real-estate businesses. Automobile appraisal guides are available on the palm-top unit for access at automobile auctions or at car dealership lots. Multiple listing data is similarly available for real estate agents for field access to the home listings.
From 1995 to 1997, Dimensional Visions utilized the software development resources of InfoPak to develop the patent-pending software and systematic digital process for its LIVING IMAGE(TM) Solutions.
FISCAL YEARS 1998-2000
In January 1998 we established our current headquarters in Phoenix, Arizona. Under the leadership of a new executive management team, Dimensional Visions was completely restructured including changing our corporate name to Dimensional Visions Incorporated and changing our stock trading symbol from DVGL to DVUI. At the end of 1997, the company needed to complete private placements of debt and equity to continue operations. As a prerequisite, our investment banking firm, Capital West Investment Group, required the company to replace the upper level management and effect a 1 for 25 reverse stock split.
During this timeframe we sold all of the original robotic photographic equipment to concentrate on the new LIVING IMAGE(TM) (utilizing very high-end Intel based graphic design computers). Our management team believes that the new process is much more cost effective, reproducible, and has a shorter production cycle than the photographic process formerly used by the company. We also believe that it better meets the demands of today's market which requires quick turn around of products from inception to delivery.
STRATEGY
MARKET & PENETRATION
Multi-dimensional and/or animated images are being utilized today by Dimensional Visions' clients. The images are used because they combine depth and movement to attract the consumer's attention and potentially increase their sales.
LIVING IMAGE(TM) solutions have and will be (a) integrated onto products (for example: affixed to yearbooks, children's portfolio cover's, etc), (b) integrated onto product packaging (for example: affixed to cereal boxes, CD packages, etc), and (c) integrated onto marketing communications for products and services (for example: affixed to annual reports, etc). We define the market for our LIVING IMAGE(TM) as the following major markets in the United States:
* Specially selected Original Equipment Manufacturers
* Specially selected Promotional Marketing Firms
* Specially selected Advertising & Graphics Design Firms (less newspaper,
radio and TV)
Dimensional Visions believes that the market for LIVING IMAGE(TM) is in its infancy particularly with the advent of new high-end Intel based graphic design computers and improved lenticular plastic extrusion capabilities. With these advances, coupled with the best-integrated software methodology and marketing strategy, we believe Dimensional Visions can be a market leader.
Dimensional Visions estimates that the market universe for its LIVING IMAGE(TM) is as follows:
* ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURERS: Our revenues for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2000, from the original manufacturers were approximately 91% of our total revenue.
* PROMOTION MARKETING INDUSTRY: According to PROMO MAGAZINE article titled The 1998 Annual Report, the estimated 1997 revenue for the promotion marketing industry was $79.5 billion. This article can be found archived on their website at WWW.PROMOMAGAZINE.COM. Dimensional Visions believes that the Premium/Incentives, Point of Purchase, Specialty Printing, and Agencies Net Revenues categories, which account for over $43.7 billion, are potential users of the LIVING IMAGE(TM) Solutions. Our revenues for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2000 from this market were approximately 9%.
* ADVERTISING INDUSTRY: According to ADVERTISING AGE article on May 18, 1998, the 1997 advertising revenue in the U.S. totaled over $187.6 billion. The article, titled 1997 U.S. ADVERTISING VOLUME (COEN/MCCANN-ERICKSON), can be found on their website at WWW.ADAGE.COM. We believe that newspapers, magazines, direct mail, business papers, and miscellaneous other advertising methods are potential users of the LIVING IMAGE(TM) Solutions. These categories make up over $116.4 billion or 62% of total advertising revenues.
PRODUCTION
Dimensional Visions controls or supervises all phases of the production of its LIVING IMAGE(TM) products from the image development and computerized enhancement phases through the color separation and printing phases. Images are provided to us by our clients in many formats including digitally in graphic file formats and photographically in pictures or transparencies. Photographic images are scanned into the computer to be modified and enhanced. Through a proprietary process, several images are composited together to generate a final image that will appear as a three-dimensional and/or animation image when viewed through a lenticular material. "Lenticular" is a plastic optical material that allows the three-dimensional and/or animation image to be viewed without the use of any viewing apparatus such as glasses or hoods. The digital files are forwarded to Travel Tags, our primary printer, or other commercial printer, where, through the lithographic process, the images are printed on a polymer based lenticular material which focuses the multi-dimensional or animation images. Printing is done under the supervision of Dimensional Visions. The lenticular material is supplied by producers in the petrochemical and plastic fabricating industries directly to our printer. Dimensional Visions has no long-term contracts with its printers.
COMPETITION
Other processes currently are available which allow a viewer to perceive an image in three-dimensions, including those which employ stereoscopic glasses and viewing hoods and other processes, and holograms and other three-dimensional image systems which do not require the use of viewing apparatus. Dimensional Visions is aware of at least two companies, Optigraphics, Inc. and National Graphics, Inc., which compete with our products. Our products may be more expensive than conventional, high quality, two-dimensional prints and for this reason, high quality, conventional processes and methods may be favored for many, if not most, illustration and promotion contexts. Color lenticular images are less expensive than other forms of three-dimensional prints.
PATENTS, TRADEMARKS AND PROPRIETARY PROTECTION
The company filed a patent application on February 15, 1999 for its Living Image(TM) software and print system. The company believes that the patent will issue within two years.
Dimensional Visions has received trademark registration of DV3D(R) and has submitted a trademark application for Animotion(TM) and LIVING IMAGE(TM) which we believe will issue within the next 24 months as well.
EMPLOYEES
As of the date of this prospectus, we had six employees, including three in management, one of whom is involved in product development and manufacturing, one in marketing and sales, and one in finance. Dimensional Visions is not a party to any collective bargaining agreements. Dimensional Visions considers its relations with employees to be good.
PROPERTIES
We lease approximately 3,100 square feet of office space at 2301 W. Dunlap Avenue, Suite 207 in Phoenix, Arizona. This location serves as our principal executive offices and our current design and production facilities. The total lease payments for fiscal year 2001 will be $48,050. The lease also requires us to pay all taxes and insurance and expires on December 31, 2003.
LITIGATION
To the best knowledge of our management, there are no material litigation matters pending or threatened against us.

The Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of Dimensional Visions provide that Dimensional Visions will indemnify and advance expenses, to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, to each person who is or was a director, officer or agent of Dimensional Visions, or who serves or served any other enterprise or organization at the request of Dimensional Visions (an "Indemnitee"). Under Delaware law, to the extent that an Indemnitee is successful on the merits of a suit or proceeding brought against him or her by reason of the fact that he or she was a director, officer or agent of Dimensional Visions, or serves or served any other enterprise or organization at the request of Dimensional Visions, Dimensional Visions will indemnify him or her against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such action. If unsuccessful in defense of a third-party civil suit or a criminal suit, or if such a suit is settled, an Indemnitee may be indemnified under Delaware law against both (i) expenses, including attorneys' fees, and (ii) judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of Dimensional Visions, and, with respect to any criminal action, had no reasonable cause to believe his other conduct was unlawful. If unsuccessful in defense of a suit brought by or in the right of Dimensional Visions, where the suit is settled, an Indemnitee may be indemnified under Delaware law only against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred in the defense or settlement of the suit if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of Dimensional Visions except that if the Indemnitee is adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his or her duty to Dimensional Visions, he or she cannot be made whole even for expenses unless a court determines that he or she is fully and reasonably entitled to indemnification for such expenses. Also under Delaware law, expenses incurred by an officer or director in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding may be paid by Dimensional Visions in advance of the final disposition of the suit, action or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the officer or director to repay such amount if it is ultimately determined that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by Dimensional Visions. Dimensional Visions may also advance expenses incurred by other employees and agents of Dimensional Visions upon such terms and conditions, if any, that the Board of Directors of Dimensional Visions deems appropriate. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling Dimensional Visions pursuant to the foregoing provisions, in the opinion of the Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is therefore unenforceable.

STOCK OPTION PLANS
1996 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN
In June 1996, Dimensional Visions adopted the 1996 Equity Incentive Plan (the "1996 Plan") covering 10,000,000 shares of Dimensional Visions' common stock pursuant to which employees, consultants and other persons or entities who were in a position to make a significant contribution to the success of Dimensional Visions were eligible to receive awards in the form of incentive or non-incentive options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock or deferred
stock. The 1996 Plan will terminate ten years after June 12, 1996, the effective date of the 1996 Plan. The 1996 Plan is administered by the Board of Directors. In its discretion, the Board of Directors may elect to administer the 1996 Plan. Restricted stock entitles the recipients to receive shares of Dimensional Visions' common stock subject to such restriction and condition as the Compensation Committee may determine for no consideration or such considerations as determined by the Compensation Committee. Deferred stock entitles the recipients to receive shares of Dimensional Visions' common stock in the future. As of the date of this prospectus, 5,002,978 shares have been issued pursuant to this plan. The company has decided that it will not issue any additional shares under the 1996 Plan, but will instead issue options under its 1999 Stock Option Plan.
1999 STOCK OPTION PLAN
On November 15, 1999, the Board of Directors of Dimensional Visions adopted the 1999 Stock Option Plan (the "1999 Plan"). This plan was approved by a majority of our stockholders at our January 28, 2000, stockholders' meeting. The purpose of the 1999 Plan is to advance the interests of the company by encouraging and enabling acquisition of a financial interest in the company by its officers and other key individuals. The 1999 Plan is intended to aid the company in attracting and retaining key employees, to stimulate the efforts of such individuals and to strengthen their desire to remain with the company. A maximum of 1,500,000 shares of the company's common stock are available to be issued under the 1999 Plan. The option exercise price will be 100% of the fair market value of the company's common stock on the date the option is granted and will be exercisable for a period not to exceed 10 years from the date of grant. No options have been issued to date.

Pursuant to our investment agreement with Swartz Private Equity, LLC, we can place puts to them of our common stock of up to $20,000,000.

In turn, Swartz may sell our stock in the open market, place our stock through negotiated transactions with other investors, or hold our stock in their own portfolio.
SELLING SHAREHOLDERS
The shares will be offered and sold by the selling stockholders for their own accounts. Dimensional Visions will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the shares pursuant to this prospectus other than from the exercise of warrants or the conversion of debt. Dimensional Visions will pay all of the expenses of the registration of the shares, but shall not pay any commissions, discounts, and fees of underwriters, dealers, or agents.
The selling shareholders and their successors, which term includes their transferees, pledgees or donees or their successors may sell the common stock directly to one or more purchasers (including pledgees) or through brokers, dealers or underwriters who may act solely as agents or may acquire common stock as principals, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices, at negotiated prices or at fixed prices, which may be changed. The selling shareholders may effect the distribution of the common stock in one or more of the following methods:
- ordinary brokers transactions, which may include long or short sales;
- transactions involving cross or block trades or otherwise on the Nasdaq National Market;
- purchases by brokers, dealers or underwriters as principal and resale by such purchasers for their own accounts under this prospectus;
- "at the market" to or through market makers or into an existing market for the common stock;
- in other ways not involving market makers or established trading markets, including direct sales to purchasers or sales effected through agents;
- through transactions in options, swaps or other derivatives (whether exchange listed or otherwise); or
- any combination of the above, or by any other legally available means.
In addition, the selling shareholders or successors in interest may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers who may engage in short sales of common stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume with the selling shareholders. The selling shareholders or successors in interest may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers that require delivery by such broker-dealers of the common stock, which common stock may be resold thereafter under this prospectus.
Brokers, dealers, underwriters or agents participating in the distribution of the common stock may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commission from the selling shareholders and/or the purchasers of common stock for whom such broker-dealers may act as agent or to whom they may sell as principal, or both (which compensation as to a particular broker-dealer may be in excess of customary commissions).
Swartz is, and each remaining selling shareholder and any broker-dealers acting in connection with the sale of the common stock by this prospectus may be deemed to be, an underwriter within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act, and any commissions received by them and any profit realized by them on the resale of common stock as principals may be underwriting compensation under the Securities Act. Neither the selling shareholders nor we can presently estimate the amount of such compensation. We do not know of any existing arrangements between the selling shareholders and any other shareholder, broker, dealer, underwriter or agent relating to the sale or distribution of the common stock.
The selling shareholders and any other persons participating in a distribution of securities will be subject to applicable provisions of the Securities Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including, without limitation, Regulation M, which may restrict certain activities of, and limit the timing of purchases and sales of securities by, the selling shareholders and other persons participating in a distribution of securities. Furthermore, under Regulation M, persons engaged in a distribution of securities are prohibited from simultaneously engaging in market making and certain other activities with respect to such securities for a specified period of time prior to the commencement of such distributions subject to specified exceptions or exemptions. Swartz has, before any sales, agreed not to effect any offers or sales of the common stock in any manner other than as specified in this prospectus and not to purchase or induce others to purchase common stock in violation of Regulation M under the Exchange Act. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the securities offered by this prospectus.
Any securities covered by this prospectus that qualify for sale under Rule 144 under the Securities Act may be sold under that Rule rather than under this prospectus.
We cannot assure you that the selling shareholders will sell any or all of the shares of common stock offered by the selling shareholders.
In order to comply with the securities laws of certain states, if applicable, the selling shareholders will sell the common stock in jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in certain states, the selling shareholders may not sell the common stock unless the shares of common stock have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders Dimensional Visions Incorporated and Subsidiary Phoenix, Arizona
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Dimensional Visions Incorporated and Subsidiary (the "Company") as of June 30, 2000, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficiency), and cash flows for the period ended June 30, 2000. 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 generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Dimensional Visions Incorporated and Subsidiary as of June 30, 2000 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the period ended June 30, 2000 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has financed its operations primarily through the sale of its securities. As described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has limited sales of its products, which raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The future of the Company as an operating business will depend on its ability ability to (1) successfully market its products, (2) obtain sufficient capital contributions and/or financing as may be required to sustain its current operations and fulfill its sales and marketing activities, (3) achieve a level of sales adequate to support the Company's cost structure, and (4) ultimately achieve a level of profitability. Management's plan concerning these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Dimensional Visions Incorporated and Subsidiary as of June 30, 2000 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year ended June 30, 1999 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming
that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has financed its
operations primarily through the sale of its securities. As described in Note 1
to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring
losses from operations and has limited sales of its products, which raises
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
The future of the Company as an operating business will depend on its ability to
(1) successfully market its products, (2) obtain sufficient capital
contributions and/or financing as may be required to sustain its current
operations and fulfill its sales and marketing activities, (3) achieve a level
of sales adequate to support the Company's cost structure, and (4) ultimately
achieve a level of profitability. Management's plan concerning these matters are
also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include
any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

The Company, through a wholly-owned subsidiary of InfoPak, Inc. has developed a data delivery system that provides end users with specific industry printed materials by way of a portable hand-held reader. Data is acquired electronically from the data provided by mainframe systems and distributed through a computer network to all subscribers.
The Company has financed its operations primarily through the sale of its securities. The Company has had limited sales of its products during the six months ended December 31, 2000 and the years ended June 30, 2000 and 1999. Even though the sales during the past two years have significantly increased over the prior years, the volume of business is not nearly sufficient to support the Company's cost structure.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company has incurred losses since inception of $22,427,533 and had working capital deficiency of $206,620 as of December 31, 2000 and had a working capital of $206,544 as of June 30, 2000. The future of the Company as an operating business will depend on its ability to (1) successfully market and sell its products, (2) obtain sufficient capital contributions and/or financing as may be required to sustain its current operations and to fulfill its sales and marketing activities, (3) achieve a level of sales adequate to support the Company's cost structure, and (4) ultimately achieve a level of profitability. Management's plan to address these issues includes (a) redirecting its marketing efforts of the Company's products and substantially increasing sales results, (b) continued exercise of tight cost controls to conserve cash, (c) raising additional long term financing, and (d) selling of its subsidiary.

Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (Continued)
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the realization and settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The available funds at June 30, 2000, plus the limited revenue is not sufficient to satisfy the present cost structure. Management recognizes that the Company must generate additional resources to enable it to continue operations. Management plans include the continued expansion of the sale of its products and the sale of additional securities.
Further, there can be no assurances, assuming the Company successfully raises additional funds that the Company will achieve profitability or positive cash flow from the sale of its products. In the event the Company is not able to secure sufficient funds on a timely basis necessary to maintain its current operations, it may cease all or part of its existing operations and/or seek protection under the bankruptcy laws.
CONSOLIDATION POLICY
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of DVI and its wholly-owned subsidiary, InfoPak, Inc. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
EQUIPMENT, DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION
Equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation, which includes amortization of assets under capital lease is provided by the use of the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:
Equipment 5 - 7 years Furniture and fixtures 5 years
PATENT RIGHTS
Costs incurred to acquire patent rights and the related technology are amortized over the shorter of the estimated useful life or the remaining term of the patent rights. In the event that the costs of patent rights and/or acquired technology are abandoned, the write-off will be charged to expenses in the period the determination is made to abandon them.

ENGINEERING AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS
The Company charges to engineering and development costs items related to bringing improvement to its product. Such costs include salaries and expenses of employees and consultants, the conceptual formulation, design, and testing of the products and creation of prototypes.
INCOME TAXES
The Company accounts for income taxes under the liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.
LOSS PER SHARE
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Statement No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" (FAS 128), which is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 1997. FAS 128 replaced the calculation of primary and fully diluted earnings per share with basic and diluted earnings per share. Unlike primary earnings per share, basic earnings per share excludes any dilutive effects of options, warrants and convertible securities. Dilutive earnings per share is very similar to the previously reported fully diluted earnings per share.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
The Company is subject to credit risk through trade receivables. The Company relies on a limited number of customers for its sales. The Company is in the process of building a customer base for its products and, therefore, the degree of risk is substantially higher until the base grows.
The Company also relies on several key vendors to supply plastics and printing services. Although there are a limited number of vendors capable of fulfilling the Company's needs, the Company believes that other vendors could provide for the Company's needs on comparable terms. Abrupt changes could, however, cause a delay in processing and a possible inability to meet sales commitments on schedule, or a possible loss of sales, which would affect operating results adversely.
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company accounts for stock-based awards to employees in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB Opinion No. 25") and has adopted the disclosure-only alternative of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("FAS 123").
INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
The financial statements and all information in these notes as of and for the six months ended December 31, 2000 and 1999 are unaudited, but in the opinion of management, have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements, and include all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the results of the interim period. All adjustments reflected in the consolidated financial statements are of a normal recurring nature. The data disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements for this period is also unaudited.

(2) On March 1, 1998, the Company sold InfoReaders (hardware) to a customer for $100,000 and agreed to accept a note for $90,000 with payments commencing on September 1, 1998. The monthly installment is $2,904, including interest at 10% per annum for thirty-six months. The Company has not been able to collect the required monthly payments due on this note. The customer has filed for an arbitration hearing on the basis that the Company failed to provide data to support their customer base and is requesting payment of $1,000,000 for the lost business. The Company made provisions to acquire the data for the customer. However, the customer was unwilling to pay for the acquisition cost of the data and bring their account current. Accordingly, without the updated data and failure to pay the outstanding balance due the Company, there is no reason to support the system. No date has been set for the arbitration hearings. The Company has filed a counter-claim for full payment of the note. The Company has taken a $41,500 allowance against the balance due on the note as of June 30, 1999. The note is personally guaranteed by the sole-shareholder of the customer and the Company expects to collect approximately $50,000 as a result of this personal guarantee.

PART II
INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
ITEM 24. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
The company is required by its Bylaws and Certificate of Incorporation to indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each person that the company is permitted to indemnify. The company's Charter requires it to indemnify such parties to the fullest extent permitted by Sections 102(b)(7) and 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law.
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits the company to indemnify its directors, officers, employees, or agents against expenses, including attorneys fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlements actually and reasonably incurred in relation to any action, suit, or proceeding brought by third parties because they are or were directors, officers, employees, or agents of the corporation. In order to be eligible for such indemnification, however, the directors, officers, employees, or agents of the company must have acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the company. In addition, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, the officer, director, employee, or agent must have had no reason to believe that the conduct in question was unlawful.
In derivative actions, the company may only indemnify its officers, directors, employees, and agents against expenses actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of a suit, and only if they acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation. Indemnification is not permitted in the event that the director, officer, employee, or agent is actually adjudged liable to the Corporation unless, and only to the extent that, the court in which the action was brought so determines.
The company's Certificate of Incorporation permits the company to indemnify its directors except in the event of: (1) a breach of the duty of loyalty to the company or its stockholders; (2) an act or omission that involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of the law and an act or omission not in good faith; (3) liability arising under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, relating to unlawful stock purchases, redemptions, or payment of dividends; or (4) a transaction in which the potential indemnity received an improper personal benefit.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Act may be permitted to directors, officers, or persons controlling the company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the company has been informed that in the opinion of the Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is therefore unenforceable.

ITEM 28. UNDERTAKINGS
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to:
(1) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of Dimensional Visions pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, Dimensional Visions has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, Dimensional Visions will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

(2) File, during any period in which it offers or sells securities, a post effective amendment to this registration statement to:
(i) Include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Act;
(ii) Reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which, individually or together, represent a fundamental change in the information in the registration statement; and
(iii) Include any additional or changed material information on the plan of distribution.
For determining liability under the Act, treat each post-effective amendment as a new registration statement of the securities offered, and the offering of the securities at that time to be the initial bona fide offering.

PLEDGE AGREEMENT
This PLEDGE AGREEMENT (the "AGREEMENT") dated as of January 11, 2000, is made by each undersigned (each, a "PLEDGOR," and collectively, "PLEDGORS") in favor of DIMENSIONAL VISIONS, INC., a Delaware corporation ("Borrower").
RECITALS
A. Pursuant to that certain Loan and Security Agreement of even date herewith by and between Borrower and Merrill Lynch ("Lender") (the "LOAN AGREEMENT"), Lender has agreed to make Loans to and incur Letter of Credit Obligations (each as defined in the Loan Agreement) for the direct and indirect benefit of Borrower.
B. Each Pledgor is the record and beneficial owner of the assets pledged by it and transferred into the Pledge Account of Lender (the "PLEDGE ACCOUNT"), sufficient to meet the Credit Obligations at all times.
C. Each Pledgor is either a direct or indirect beneficiary of the credit facilities made available to Borrower under the Loan Agreement.
D. In order to induce Lender to make the Loans and to incur the Letter of Credit Obligations as provided for in the Loan Agreement, each Pledgor has agreed to pledge the Pledged Collateral to Lender in accordance herewith.
AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the covenants hereinafter contained and to induce the Lender to make Loans and to incur Letter of Credit Obligations under the Loan Agreement, it is agreed as follows:
1. PLEDGE. Each Pledgor hereby pledges to Lender a first priority Lien on all of the assets transferred into the Pledge Account (the "PLEDGED COLLATERAL") including, but not limited to, the Pledged Stock owned by it and the certificates representing such Pledged Stock, and property or Proceeds from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for any or all of such Pledged Stock;
2. TERM. The term of this Agreement will be one year, renewable at the option of Borrower provided Borrower is current on its interest obligations to Lender (the "Term"). The renewal terms will be negotiated in good faith at the end of each year.
3. SECURITY FOR OBLIGATIONS. This Agreement secures, and the Pledged Collateral is security for, the prompt payment and performance in full when due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of all Obligations of any kind under or in connection with the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents and all obligations of each Pledgor now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to which such Pledgor is a party, including all fees, costs and expenses whether in connection with collection actions hereunder or thereunder or otherwise (collectively, the "SECURED OBLIGATIONS").
4. DELIVERY OF PLEDGED COLLATERAL. All certificates and all promissory notes, instruments and letters of credit evidencing the Pledged Collateral shall be delivered to and held by or on behalf of Lender pursuant hereto. All Pledged Stock shall be accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment in blank, all in form and substance satisfactory to Lender and all promissory notes or other instruments evidencing the Pledged Indebtedness shall be endorsed by the Pledgor pledging such Pledged Indebtedness.
5. CONSIDERATION. In consideration of the Pledge of Pledged Collateral by the Pledgors, Borrower hereby grants to the Pledgors, collectively and not individually, the following (collectively, the "Consideration"):
(a) 250,000 warrants to purchase shares of common stock of Borrower for a term of five years with an exercise price of the fair market value of the Borrower's common stock (the "Commitment Warrants"). The fair market value of Borrower's common stock shall be the average closing bid price of Borrower's common stock as quoted on the over-the-counter bulletin board for the last five trading days prior to the date of issue.
(b) 50,000 shares of common stock of Borrower, restricted under Rule 144 and bearing the Rule 144 restrictive legend (the "Commitment Shares").
(c) As Borrower receives loans or line of credit advances from Lender, for each dollar borrowed by Borrower, the Pledgors, collectively, shall receive one warrant to purchase shares of common stock (the "Usage Warrants") of Borrower for a term of five years with an exercise price of 25% less than the fair market value of the Borrower's common stock. The fair market value of Borrower's common stock shall be the average closing bid price of Borrower's common stock as quoted on the over-the-counter bulletin board for the last five trading days prior to the date of issue.
(d) At any time that there is an outstanding balance under the Loan Agreement, the Pledgors, collectively, can elect to convert the outstanding balance under the Loan Agreement into shares of common stock of Borrower and assume responsibility for paying the outstanding balance existing on the date of conversion under the follow formula: For each dollar borrowed by Borrower, the Pledgors, collectively, shall receive one conversion option to receive three shares of common stock of Borrower, restricted under Rule 144.
(e) Pledgors jointly shall have the right, but not the obligation, to nominate one member to the Board of Directors of Borrower (the "Nominee"). The Nominee's appointment shall be subject to shareholder approval as required by Delaware corporate law. The Nominee shall serve on the Board of Directors of Borrower for a term of one year, the term of this Agreement, or until his or her successor has been duly elected, whichever is earliest.
(f) Borrower shall register all Commitment Shares and common stock underlying the Commitment Warrants and Usage Warrants on form SB-2 or similar form within six (6) months of the date of this Agreement.
6. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Each Pledgor represents and warrants to Borrower that:
(a) (i) Such Pledgor is, and at the time of delivery of the Pledged Stock owned by it to Lender will be, the sole holder of record and the sole beneficial owner of such Pledged Collateral pledged by it free and clear of any Lien thereon or affecting the title thereto, except for any Lien created by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and (ii) such Pledgor is, and at the time of delivery of the Pledged Indebtedness held by it to Lender will be, the sole owner and holder of such Pledged Collateral free and clear of any Lien thereon or affecting title thereto, except for any Lien created by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.
(b) (i) All of the Pledged Stock owned by such Pledgor have been duly authorized, validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable, and (ii) the Pledged Indebtedness held by such Pledgor has been duly authorized, authenticated or issued and delivered by, and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of, each Pledged Entity issuing same, and no such Pledged Entity is in default thereunder.

Pledgor represents that Pledgor is able to bear the economic risk of the Pledge and an investment in the Consideration and at the present time could afford a complete loss of such investment. Pledgor has had a full opportunity to inspect the books and records of the Borrower and to make any and all inquiries of Borrower officers and directors regarding the Borrower and its business as Pledgor has deemed appropriate.
(k) Pledgor is an "Accredited Investor" as defined in Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act") and Pledgor, either alone or with Pledgor's professional advisers who are unaffiliated with, have no equity interest in and are not compensated by Borrower or any affiliate or selling agent of Borrower, directly or indirectly, has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that Pledgor is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Consideration offered by Borrower and of making an informed investment decision with respect thereto and has the capacity to protect Pledgor's own interests in connection with Pledgor's proposed investment in the Consideration.

(m) Pledgor will not sell or otherwise transfer the Consideration without registration under the Act or an exemption therefrom and fully understands and agrees that Pledgor must bear the economic risk of Pledgor's purchase for an indefinite period of time because, among other reasons, the Consideration has not been registered under the Act or under the securities laws of any state and, therefore, cannot be resold, pledged, assigned or otherwise disposed of unless they are subsequently registered under the Act and under the applicable securities laws of such states or unless an exemption from such registration is available.
(n) Pledgor has received from Borrower and reviewed documentation and information on the Borrower, which includes business information and audited financial statements of the Borrower.

(b) Such Pledgor will, at its expense, promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver all such instruments and deliver letters of credit and take all such actions as Lender from time to time may request in order to ensure to Lender the benefits of the Liens upon the Pledged Collateral owned or held by it intended to be created by this Agreement, including the filing of any necessary Uniform Commercial Code financing statements, that may be filed by Lender with or (to the extent permitted by law) without the signature of such Pledgor, and will cooperate with Lender, at such Pledgor's expense, in obtaining all necessary approvals and making all necessary filings under federal, state, local or foreign law in connection with such Liens or any sale or transfer of such Pledged Collateral.
(c) Such Pledgor has and will defend the title to the Pledged Collateral owned or held by it and the Liens of Lender on such Pledged Collateral against the claim of any Person and will maintain and preserve such Liens.

(a) Each Pledgor shall have the right, from time to time, to vote and give consents with respect to the Pledged Collateral pledged by it hereunder or any part thereof for all purposes not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided, that no vote shall be cast, and no consent shall be given or action taken, that would have the effect of impairing the position or interest of Lender in respect of the Pledged Collateral or that would authorize, effect or consent to (unless and to the extent expressly permitted by the Loan Agreement):
(i) the dissolution or liquidation, in whole or in part, of a Pledged Entity;
(ii) the consolidation or merger of a Pledged Entity with any other Person;

Each Pledgor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or disposition of Collateral are insufficient to pay in full the Secured Obligations.

No delay on Lender's part in exercising any power of sale, Lien, option or other right hereunder, and no notice or demand that may be given to or made upon any Pledgor by Lender with respect to any power of sale, Lien, option or other right hereunder, shall constitute a waiver thereof, or limit or impair Lender's right to take any action or to exercise any power of sale, Lien, option, or any other right hereunder, without notice or demand, or prejudice Lender's rights as against any Pledgor in any respect.
11. ASSIGNMENT. Lender may assign, indorse or transfer any instrument evidencing all or any part of the Secured Obligations as provided in, and in accordance with, the Loan Agreement, and the holder of such instrument shall be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement.
12. TERMINATION. Immediately following the Termination Date, Lender shall deliver to each Pledgor (as the case may be) the Pledged Collateral pledged by such Pledgor at the time subject to this Agreement and all instruments of assignment executed in connection therewith, free and clear of the Liens created in favor of Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and, except as otherwise provided herein, all of such Pledgor's obligations hereunder shall at such time terminate.
13. LIEN ABSOLUTE. All rights of Lender hereunder, and all obligations of each Pledgor hereunder, shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of:
(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Loan Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument governing or evidencing any Secured Obligations;

(a) renew, extend or change the time of payment of, or the manner, place or terms of payment of, all or any part of the Secured Obligations; and (b) exchange, release or surrender all or any of the Collateral (including the Pledged Collateral), or any part thereof, by whomsoever deposited, that is now or may hereafter be held by or on behalf of Lender in connection with all or any of the Secured Obligations; all in such manner and upon such terms as Lender may deem proper, and without notice to or further assent from such Pledgor, it being hereby agreed that such Pledgor shall be and remain bound by this Agreement irrespective of the value or condition of any of the Collateral and notwithstanding any such change, exchange, settlement, compromise, surrender, release, renewal or extension, and notwithstanding also that the Secured Obligations may, at any time, exceed the aggregate principal amount thereof set forth in the Loan Agreement or any other agreement governing any Secured Obligations. Each Pledgor hereby waives notice of acceptance of this Agreement, presentment, demand, protest and notice of dishonor of any and all of the Secured Obligations, and any delay by Lender in commencing suit against any party hereto or Person liable hereon, and in giving any notice to or of making any claim or demand hereunder upon such Pledgor. No act or omission of any kind on Lender's part shall in any event affect or impair this Agreement.
15. REINSTATEMENT. This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against
any Pledgor or any Pledged Entity for liquidation or reorganization, should any Pledgor or any Pledged Entity become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of any Pledgor's or Pledged Entity's assets, and shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Secured Obligations, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee of the Secured Obligations, whether as a "voidable preference," "fraudulent transfer," or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made.

Subject to the Individual Put Limit, the Maximum Offering Amount and the Cap Amount (if applicable), and the other conditions and limitations set forth in this Agreement, at any time beginning on the date on which the Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC (the "Effective Date"), the Company may, in its sole and absolute discretion, elect to exercise one or more Puts according to the following procedure, provided that each subsequent Put Date after the first Put Date shall be no sooner than five (5) Business Days following the preceding Pricing Period End Date:
(a) DELIVERY OF ADVANCE PUT NOTICE.At least ten (10) Business Days but not more than twenty (20) Business Days prior to any intended Put Date, the Company shall deliver advance written notice (the "Advance Put Notice," the form of which is attached hereto as EXHIBIT E, the date of such Advance Put Notice being the "Advance Put Notice Date") to Investor stating the Put Date for which the Company shall, subject to the limitations and restrictions contained herein, exercise a Put and stating the number of shares of Common Stock (subject to the Individual Put Limit and the Maximum Put Dollar Amount) which the Company intends to sell to the Investor for the Put (the "Intended Put Share Amount").
The Company may, at its option, also designate in any Advance Put Notice
(i) a maximum dollar amount of Common Stock, not to exceed $2,000,000, which it
shall sell to Investor during the Put (the "Company Designated Maximum Put
Dollar Amount") and/or (ii) a minimum purchase price per Put Share at which the
Investor may purchase shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Put Notice (a
"Company Designated Minimum Put Share Price"). The Company Designated Minimum
Put Share Price, if applicable, shall be no greater than the lesser of (i) 80%
of the Closing Bid Price of the Company's common stock on the Business Day
immediately preceding the Advance Put Notice Date, or (ii) the Closing Bid Price
of the Company's common stock on the Business Day immediately preceding the
Advance Put Notice Date minus $0.125. The Company may decrease (but not
increase) the Company Designated Minimum Put Share Price for a Put at any time
by giving the Investor written notice of such decrease not later than 12:00
Noon, New York City time, on the Business Day immediately preceding the Business
Day that such decrease is to take effect. A decrease in the Company Designated
Minimum Put Share Price shall have no retroactive effect on the determination of
Trigger Prices and Excluded Days for days preceding the Business Day that such
decrease takes effect, provided that the Put Share Price for all shares in a Put
shall be calculated using the lowest Company Designated Minimum Put Share Price,
as decreased.
Notwithstanding the above, if, at the time of delivery of an Advance Put Notice, more than two (2) Calendar Months have passed since the date of the previous Put Closing, such Advance Put Notice shall provide at least twenty (20) Business Days notice of the intended Put Date, unless waived in writing by the Investor.

of shares of Common Stock that the Investor shall be obligated to purchase in a
given Put, and shall equal the lesser of (i) the Intended Put Share Amount, and
(ii) the Individual Put Limit. The "Individual Put Limit" shall equal the lesser
of (A) 1,500,000 shares, (B) 15% of the sum of the aggregate daily reported
Trading Volumes in the outstanding Common Stock on the Company's Principal
Market, excluding any block trades of 20,000 or more shares of Common Stock, for
all Evaluation Days (as defined below) in the Pricing Period, (C) the number of
Put Shares which, when multiplied by their respective Put Share Prices, equals
the Maximum Put Dollar Amount, and (D) the 9.9% Limitation, but in no event
shall the Individual Put Limit exceed 15% of the sum of the aggregate daily
reported Trading Volumes in the outstanding Common Stock on the Company's
Principal Market, excluding any block trades of 20,000 or more shares of Common
Stock, for the twenty (20) Business Days immediately preceding the Advance Put
Notice Date (this limitation, together with the limitation in (B) immediately
above are collectively referred to herein as the "Volume Limitations"). Company

the purpose of artificially increasing the Volume Limitations.

(c) PUT SHARE PRICE. The purchase price for the Put Shares (the "Put Share Price") shall equal the lesser of (i) the Market Price for such Put, minus $.075, or (ii) 91% of the Market Price for such Put, but shall in no event be less than the Company Designated Minimum Put Share Price for such Put, if applicable.
(d) DELIVERY OF PUT NOTICE. After delivery of an Advance Put Notice, on the Put Date specified in the Advance Put Notice the Company shall deliver written notice (the "Put Notice," the form of which is attached hereto as EXHIBIT G) to Investor stating (i) the Put Date, (ii) the Intended Put Share Amount as specified in the Advance Put Notice (such exercise a "Put"), (iii) the Company Designated Maximum Put Dollar Amount (if applicable), and (iv) the Company Designated Minimum Put Share Price (if applicable). In order to effect delivery of the Put Notice, the Company shall (i) send the Put Notice by facsimile on the Put Date so that such notice is received by the Investor by 6:00 p.m., New York, NY time, and (ii) surrender such notice on the Put Date to a courier for overnight delivery to the Investor (or two (2) day delivery in the case of an Investor residing outside of the U.S.). Upon receipt by the Investor of a facsimile copy of the Put Notice, the Investor shall, within two (2) Business Days, send, via facsimile, a confirmation of receipt (the "Put Notice
Confirmation," the form of which is attached hereto as EXHIBIT H) of the Put Notice to Company specifying that the Put Notice has been received and affirming the Put Date and the Intended Put Share Amount.

If the Company has not delivered all of the Required Put Documents to the Investor on or before the Put Date, the Put shall be automatically cancelled (an "Impermissible Put Cancellation") and the Company shall pay the Investor $5,000 for its reasonable due diligence expenses incurred in preparation for the canceled Put and the Company may deliver an Advance Put Notice for the subsequent Put no sooner than ten (10) Business Days after the date that such Put was canceled. Also, in the event of a Put Interruption Notice that occurs prior to the Put Date, the Company shall pay the Investor $5,000 for its reasonable due diligence expenses incurred in preparation for the interrupted Put.
(f) Limitation on Investor's Obligation to Purchase Shares.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in no event shall
the Investor be required to purchase, and an Intended Put Share Amount may not
include, an amount of Put Shares, which when added to the number of Put Shares
acquired by the Investor pursuant to this Agreement during the 61 days preceding
the Put Date with respect to which this determination of the permitted Intended
Put Share Amount is being made, would exceed 9.9% of the number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding (on a fully diluted basis, to the extent that inclusion
of unissued shares is mandated by Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) on the Put
Date for such Pricing Period, as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of
the Exchange Act (the "Section 13(d) Outstanding Share Amount"). Each Put Notice

Outstanding Share Amount on the related Put Date. In the event that the Section
13(d) Outstanding Share Amount is different on any date during a Pricing Period
than on the Put Date associated with such Pricing Period, then the number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding on such date during such Pricing Period shall
govern for purposes of determining whether the Investor, when aggregating all
purchases of Shares made pursuant to this Agreement in the 61 calendar days
preceding such date, would have acquired more than 9.9% of the Section 13(d)
Outstanding Share Amount. The limitation set forth in this Section 2.3.1(f) is
referred to as the "9.9% Limitation."

Nothing herein shall require the Company to disclose nonpublic information to the Investor or its advisors or representatives, and the Company represents that it does not disseminate nonpublic information to any investors who purchase stock in the Company in a public offering, to money managers or to securities analysts, provided, however, that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company will, as hereinabove provided, immediately notify the advisors and representatives of the Investor and, if any, underwriters, of any event or the existence of any circumstance (without any obligation to disclose the specific event or circumstance) of which it becomes aware, constituting nonpublic information (whether or not requested of the Company specifically or generally during the course of due diligence by and such persons or entities), which, if not disclosed in the Prospectus included in the Registration Statement, would cause such Prospectus to include a material misstatement or to omit a material fact required to be stated therein in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading. Nothing contained in this Section 2.5 shall be construed to mean that such persons or entities other than the Investor (without the written consent of the Investor prior to disclosure of such information) may not obtain nonpublic information in the course of conducting due diligence in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that in no event shall the Investor's advisors or representatives disclose to the Investor the nature of the specific event or circumstances constituting any nonpublic information discovered by such advisors or representatives in the course of their due diligence without the written consent of the Investor prior to disclosure of such information.
2.5.2 DISCLOSURE OF MISSTATEMENTS AND OMISSIONS. The Investor's advisors or representatives shall make complete disclosure to the Investor's counsel of all events or circumstances constituting nonpublic information discovered by such advisors or representatives in the course of their due diligence upon which such advisors or representatives form the opinion that the Registration Statement contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits a material fact required to be stated in the Registration Statement or necessary to make the statements contained therein, in the light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading. Upon receipt of such disclosure, the Investor's counsel shall consult with the Company's independent counsel in order to address the concern raised as to the existence of a material misstatement or omission and to discuss appropriate disclosure with respect thereto; provided, however, that such consultation shall not constitute the advice of the Company's independent counsel to the Investor as to the accuracy of the Registration Statement and related Prospectus.
2.5.3 PROCEDURE IF MATERIAL FACTS ARE REASONABLY BELIEVED TO BE UNTRUE OR ARE Omitted. In the event after such consultation the Investor or the Investor's counsel reasonably believes that the Registration Statement contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits a material fact required to be stated in the Registration Statement or necessary to make the statements contained therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading,
(a) the Company shall file with the SEC an amendment to the Registration Statement responsive to such alleged untrue statement or omission and provide the Investor, as promptly as practicable, with copies of the Registration Statement and related Prospectus, as so amended, or
(b) if the Company disputes the existence of any such material misstatement or omission, (i) the Company's independent counsel shall provide the Investor's counsel with a Registration Opinion and (ii) in the event the dispute relates to the adequacy of financial disclosure and the Investor shall reasonably request, the Company's independent auditors shall provide to the Company a letter ("Agreed Upon Procedures Report") outlining the performance of such "agreed upon procedures" as shall be reasonably requested by the Investor and the Company shall provide the Investor with a copy of such letter.
2.6 COMMITMENT PAYMENTS.
On the last Business Day of the first one year period following the
Effective Date (a "Commitment Evaluation Period"), if the Company has not Put at
least $500,000 in aggregate Put Dollar Amount during that Commitment Evaluation
Period, the Company, in consideration of Investor's commitment costs, including,
but not limited to, due diligence expenses, shall pay to the Investor an amount
(the "Non-Usage Fee") equal to the difference of (i) $50,000, minus (ii) 10% of
the aggregate Put Dollar Amount of the Put Shares purchased by Investor during
that Commitment Evaluation Period. On the last Business Day of the second one
year period and the third one year period following the Effective Date (each
such one year period also a "Commitment Evaluation Period"), if the Company has
not Put at least $1,000,000 in aggregate Put Dollar Amount during that
Commitment Evaluation Period, the Company, in consideration of Investor's
commitment costs, including, but not limited to, due diligence expenses, shall
pay to the Investor an amount (the "Non-Usage Fee") equal to the difference of
(i) $100,000, minus (ii) 10% of the aggregate Put Dollar Amount of the Put
Shares purchased by Investor during that Commitment Evaluation Period. In the
event that the Company delivers a Termination Notice to the Investor or an Automatic Termination occurs, the Company shall pay to the Investor (the "Termination Fee") the greater of (i) the Non-Usage Fee for the applicable Commitment Evaluation Period, or (ii) the difference of (x) $200,000, minus (y) 10% of the aggregate Put Dollar Amount of the Put Shares put to Investor during all Puts to date, and the Company shall not be required to pay the Non-Usage Fee thereafter.
Each Non-Usage Fee or Termination Fee is payable, in cash, within five (5) business days of the date it accrued. The Company shall not be required to deliver any payments to Investor under this subsection until Investor has paid all Put Dollar Amounts that are then due.

The Company shall, at its next annual shareholder meeting following its listing on either the Nasdaq Small Cap Market or the Nasdaq National Market, or at a special meeting to be held as soon as practicable thereafter, use its best efforts to obtain approval of its shareholders to (i) authorize the issuance of the full number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable under this Agreement and eliminate any prohibitions under applicable law or the rules or regulations of any stock exchange, interdealer quotation system or other self-regulatory organization with jurisdiction over the Company or any of its securities with respect to the Company's ability to issue shares of Common Stock in excess of the Cap Amount (such approvals being the "20% Approval") and (ii) increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock of the Company (the "Share Authorization Increase Approval") such that at least 25,000,000 shares can be reserved for this Offering. In connection with such shareholder vote, the Company shall use its best efforts to cause all officers and directors of the Company to promptly
enter into irrevocable agreements to vote all of their shares in favor of eliminating such prohibitions. As soon as practicable after the 20% Approval and the Share Authorization Increase Approval, the Company agrees to use its best efforts to reserve 25,000,000 shares of Common Stock for issuance under this Agreement.
5.26 ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF LIMITATIONS ON PUT AMOUNTS. The Company understands and acknowledges that the amounts available under this Investment Agreement are limited, among other things, based upon the liquidity of the Company's Common Stock traded on its Principal Market.
5.27 DILUTION. The number of shares of Common Stock issuable as Put Shares may increase substantially in certain circumstances, including, but not necessarily limited to, the circumstance wherein the trading price of the Common Stock declines during the period between the Effective Date and the end of the Commitment Period. The Company's executive officers and directors fully understand the nature of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and recognize that they have a potential dilutive effect. The board of directors of the Company has concluded, in its good faith business judgment, that such issuance is in the best interests of the Company. The Company specifically acknowledges that, whenever the Company elects to initiate a Put, its obligation to issue the Put Shares is binding upon the Company and enforceable regardless of the dilution such issuance may have on the ownership interests of other shareholders of the Company.
6. COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY.
6.1 INDEPENDENT AUDITORS. The Company shall, until at least the Termination Date, maintain as its independent auditors an accounting firm authorized to practice before the SEC.
6.2 CORPORATE EXISTENCE AND TAXES; CHANGE IN CORPORATE ENTITY. The Company shall, until at least the Termination Date, maintain its corporate existence in good standing and, once it becomes a "Reporting Issuer" (defined as a Company which files periodic reports under the Exchange Act), remain a Reporting Issuer and shall pay all its taxes when due except for taxes which the Company disputes. The Company shall not, at any time after the date hereof, enter into any merger, consolidation or corporate reorganization of the Company with or into, or transfer all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to, another entity unless the resulting successor or acquiring entity in such transaction, if not the Company (the "Surviving Entity"), (i) has Common Stock listed for trading on the OTC Bulletin Board, Nasdaq or on another national stock exchange and is a Reporting Issuer, (ii) assumes by written instrument the Company's obligations with respect to this Investment Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement, the Transfer Agent Instructions, the Warrant Antidilution Agreement, the Warrants and the other agreements referred to herein, including but not limited to the obligations to deliver to the Investor shares of Common Stock and/or securities that Investor is entitled to receive pursuant to this Investment Agreement and upon exercise of the Warrants and agrees by written instrument to reissue, in the name of the Surviving Entity, any Warrants (each in the same terms, including but not limited to the same reset provisions, as the applicable Warrant originally issued or required to be issued by the Company) that are outstanding immediately prior to such transaction, making appropriate proportional adjustments to the number of shares represented by such Warrants and the exercise prices of such Warrants to accurately reflect the exchange represented by the transaction.
6.3 REGISTRATION RIGHTS. The Company will enter into a registration rights agreement covering the resale of the Common Shares and the Warrant Shares substantially in the form of the Registration Rights Agreement attached as EXHIBIT A.
6.4 ASSET TRANSFERS. The Company shall not (i) transfer, sell, convey
or otherwise dispose of any of its material assets to any subsidiary except for
a cash or cash equivalent consideration and for a proper business purpose or
(ii) transfer, sell, convey or otherwise dispose of any of its material assets
to any Affiliate, as defined below, during the Term of this Agreement. For
purposes hereof, "Affiliate" shall mean any officer of the Company, director of
the Company or owner of twenty percent (20%) or more of the Common Stock or
other securities of the Company.
6.5 CAPITAL RAISING LIMITATIONS AND RIGHTS OF FIRST REFUSAL.
6.5.1 CAPITAL RAISING LIMITATIONS. During the period from the
date of this Agreement until the date that is sixty (60) days after the
Termination Date, the Company shall not issue or sell, or agree to issue or sell
Equity Securities (as defined below), for cash in private capital raising
transactions without obtaining the prior written approval of the Investor of the
Offering (the limitations referred to in this subsection 6.5.1 are collectively
referred to as the "Capital Raising Limitations"). For purposes hereof, the
following shall be collectively referred to herein as, the "Equity Securities":
(i) Common Stock or any other equity securities, (ii) any debt or equity
securities which are convertible into, exercisable or exchangeable for, or carry
the right to receive additional shares of Common Stock or other equity
securities, or (iii) any securities of the Company pursuant to an equity line
structure or format similar in nature to this Offering.
6.5.2 INVESTOR'S RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL. For any private capital
raising transactions of Equity Securities which close after the date hereof and
on or prior to the date that is sixty (60) days after the Termination Date of
this Agreement, not including any warrants issued in conjunction with this
Investment Agreement, the Company agrees to deliver to Investor, at least ten
(10) days prior to the closing of such transaction, written notice describing
the proposed transaction, including the terms and conditions thereof, and
providing the Investor and its affiliates an option (the "Right of First
Refusal") during the ten (10) day period following delivery of such notice to
purchase the securities being offered in such transaction on the same terms as
contemplated by such transaction.
6.5.3 EXCEPTIONS TO CAPITAL RAISING LIMITATIONS AND RIGHTS OF FIRST REFUSAL. Notwithstanding the above, neither the Capital Raising Limitations nor the Rights of First Refusal shall apply to any transaction involving issuances of securities by the Company to a company being acquired by the Company, as payment to such company for such acquisition, or in connection with the exercise of options by employees or directors of the Company, or a primary underwritten offering of the Company's Common Stock. The Capital Raising Limitations and Rights of First Refusal also shall not apply to (a) the issuance
of securities upon exercise or conversion of the Company's options, warrants or other convertible securities outstanding as of the date hereof, (b) the grant of additional options or warrants, or the issuance of additional securities, under any Company stock option or restricted stock plan for the benefit of the Company's employees or directors, or (c) the issuance of debt securities, with no equity feature, incurred solely for working capital purposes.
6.6 FINANCIAL 10-KSB STATEMENTS, ETC. AND CURRENT REPORTS ON FORM 8-K. The Company shall deliver to the Investor copies of its annual reports on Form 10-KSB, and quarterly reports on Form 10-QSB and shall deliver to the Investor current reports on Form 8-K within two (2) days of filing for the Term of this Agreement.
6.7 OPINION OF COUNSEL. Investor shall, concurrent with the Investment Commitment Closing, receive an opinion letter from the Company's legal counsel, in the form attached as EXHIBIT B, or in such form as agreed upon by the parties, and shall, concurrent with each Put Date, receive an opinion letter from the Company's legal counsel, in the form attached as EXHIBIT I or in such form as agreed upon by the parties.
6.8 REMOVAL OF LEGEND. If the certificates representing any Securities
are issued with a restrictive Legend in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement, the Legend shall be removed and the Company shall issue a certificate
without such Legend to the holder of any Security upon which it is stamped, and
a certificate for a security shall be originally issued without the Legend, if
(a) the sale of such Security is registered under the Act, or (b) such holder
provides the Company with an opinion of counsel, in form, substance and scope
customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions (the reasonable
cost of which shall be borne by the Investor), to the effect that a public sale
or transfer of such Security may be made without registration under the Act, or
(c) such holder provides the Company with reasonable assurances that such
Security can be sold pursuant to Rule 144. Each Investor agrees to sell all
Securities, including those represented by a certificate(s) from which the
Legend has been removed, or which were originally issued without the Legend,
pursuant to an effective registration statement and to deliver a prospectus in
connection with such sale or in compliance with an exemption from the
registration requirements of the Act.
6.9 LISTING. Subject to the remainder of this Section 6.9, the Company shall ensure that its shares of Common Stock (including all Warrant Shares and Put Shares) are listed and available for trading on the O.T.C. Bulletin Board. Thereafter, the Company shall (i) use its best efforts to continue the listing and trading of its Common Stock on the O.T.C. Bulletin Board or to become eligible for and listed and available for trading on the Nasdaq Small Cap Market, the NMS, or the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"); and (ii) comply in all material respects with the Company's reporting, filing and other obligations under the By-Laws or rules of the National Association of Securities Dealers ("NASD") and such exchanges, as applicable.
6.10 THE COMPANY'S INSTRUCTIONS TO TRANSFER AGENT. The Company will instruct the Transfer Agent of the Common Stock (the "Transfer Agent"), by delivering instructions in the form of EXHIBIT T hereto, to issue certificates, registered in the name of each Investor or its nominee, for the Put Shares and Warrant Shares in such amounts as specified from time to time by the Company upon any exercise by the Company of a Put and/or exercise of the Warrants by the holder thereof. Such certificates shall not bear a Legend unless issuance with a Legend is permitted by the terms of this Agreement and Legend removal is not permitted by Section 6.8 hereof and the Company shall cause the Transfer Agent to issue such certificates without a Legend. Nothing in this Section shall affect in any way Investor's obligations and agreement set forth in Sections 3.3.2 or 3.3.3 hereof to resell the Securities pursuant to an effective registration statement and to deliver a prospectus in connection with such sale or in compliance with an exemption from the registration requirements of applicable securities laws. If (a) an Investor provides the Company with an opinion of counsel, which opinion of counsel shall be in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions, to the
effect that the Securities to be sold or transferred may be sold or transferred
pursuant to an exemption from registration or (b) an Investor transfers
Securities, pursuant to Rule 144, to a transferee which is an accredited
investor, the Company shall permit the transfer, and, in the case of Put Shares
and Warrant Shares, promptly instruct its transfer agent to issue one or more
certificates in such name and in such denomination as specified by such
Investor. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations
hereunder will cause irreparable harm to an Investor by vitiating the intent and
purpose of the transaction contemplated hereby. Accordingly, the Company
acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this
Section 6.10 will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or
threatened breach by the Company of the provisions of this Section 6.10, that an
Investor shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an
injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate issuance and transfer,
without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other
security being required.
6.11 STOCKHOLDER 20% APPROVAL. Prior to the closing of any Put that would cause the Aggregate Issued Shares to exceed the Cap Amount, if required by the rules of NASDAQ because the Company's Common Stock is listed on NASDAQ, the Company shall obtain approval of its stockholders to authorize (i) the issuance of the full number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable pursuant to this Agreement but for the Cap Amount and eliminate any prohibitions under applicable law or the rules or regulations of any stock exchange, interdealer quotation system or other self-regulatory organization with jurisdiction over the Company or any of its securities with respect to the Company's ability to issue shares of Common Stock in excess of the Cap Amount (such approvals being the "Stockholder 20% Approval").
6.12 PRESS RELEASE. Any public announcement relating to this financing
(a "Press Release") shall be submitted to the Investor for review at least two
(2) business days prior to the planned release. The Company shall not disclose
the Investor's name in any press release or other public announcement without
the Investor's prior written approval. The Company shall obtain the Investor's
written approval of the Press Release prior to issuance by the Company.
6.13 CHANGE IN LAW OR POLICY. In the event of a change in law, or policy of the SEC, as evidenced by a No-Action letter or other written statements of the SEC or the NASD which causes the Investor to be unable to perform its obligations hereunder, this Agreement shall be automatically terminated and no Termination Fee shall be due, provided that notwithstanding any termination under this section 6.13, the Investor shall retain full ownership of the Commitment Warrant as partial consideration for its commitment hereunder.
6.14. NOTICE OF CERTAIN EVENTS AFFECTING REGISTRATION; SUSPENSION OF RIGHT TO MAKE A PUT. The Company shall immediately notify the Investor, but in no event later than two (2) business days by facsimile and by overnight courier, upon the occurrence of any of the following events in respect of a Registration Statement or related prospectus in respect of an offering of Registrable Securities: (i) receipt of any request for additional information by the SEC or any other federal or state governmental authority during the period of effectiveness of the Registration Statement for amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or related prospectus; (ii) the issuance by the SEC or any other federal or state governmental authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose; (iii) receipt of any notification with respect to
the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; (iv) the happening of any event that makes any statement made in such Registration Statement or related prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect or that requires the making of any changes in the Registration Statement, related prospectus or documents so that, in the case of a Registration Statement, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and that in the case of the related prospectus, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; (v) the declaration by the SEC of the effectiveness of a Registration Statement; and (vi) the Company's reasonable determination that a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement would be appropriate, and the Company shall promptly make available to the Investor any such supplement or amendment to the related prospectus. The Company shall not deliver to the Investor any Put Notice during the continuation of any of the foregoing events.
6.15 ACKNOWLEDGMENT REGARDING INVESTOR'S PURCHASE OF THE SECURITIES. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Investor is acting solely in the capacity of arm's length purchaser with respect to the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. The Company further acknowledges that the Investor is not acting as a financial advisor or fiduciary of the Company (or in any similar capacity) with respect to the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and any advice given by the Investor or any of its representatives or agents in connection with the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby is merely incidental to the Investor's purchase of the Securities. The Company further represents to the Investor that the Company's decision to enter into the Transaction Documents has been based solely on the independent evaluation by the Company and its representatives and advisors.
6.16. LIQUIDATED DAMAGES. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the sums payable as Non-Usage Fees, Termination Fees and Ineffective Registration Payments shall each give rise to liquidated damages and not penalties. The parties further acknowledge that (a) the amount of loss or damages likely to be incurred by the Investor is incapable or is difficult to precisely estimate, (b) the amounts specified bear a reasonable proportion and are not plainly or grossly disproportionate to the probable loss likely to be incurred by the Investor, and (c) the parties are sophisticated business parties and have been represented by sophisticated and able legal and financial counsel and negotiated this Agreement at arm's length.
6.17. COPIES OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, REPORTS AND PROXY STATEMENTS. Promptly upon the mailing thereof to the shareholders of the Company generally, the Company shall deliver to the Investor copies of all financial statements, reports and proxy statements so mailed and any other document generally distributed to shareholders.
6.18. NOTICE OF CERTAIN LITIGATION. Promptly following the commencement thereof, the Company shall provide the Investor written notice and a description in reasonable detail of any litigation or proceeding to which the Company or any subsidiary of the Company is a party, in which the amount involved is $250,000 or more and which is not covered by insurance or in which injunctive or similar relief is sought.
7. MISCELLANEOUS.

9. INDEMNIFICATION AND REIMBURSEMENT.
(a) INDEMNIFICATION. In consideration of the Investor's execution
and delivery of the Investment Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and
the Warrants (the "Transaction Documents") and acquiring the Securities
thereunder and in addition to all of the Company's other obligations under the
Transaction Documents, the Company shall defend, protect, indemnify and hold
harmless Investor and all of its stockholders, officers, directors, employees
and direct or indirect investors and any of the foregoing person's agents,
members, partners or other representatives (including, without limitation, those
retained in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement)
(collectively, the "Indemnitees") from and against any and all actions, causes
of action, suits, claims, losses, costs, penalties, fees, liabilities and
damages, and expenses in connection therewith (irrespective of whether any such
Indemnitee is a party to the action for which indemnification hereunder is
sought), and including reasonable attorney's fees and disbursements (the
"Indemnified Liabilities"), incurred by any Indemnitee as a result of, or
arising out of, or relating to (a) any misrepresentation or breach of any
representation or warranty made by the Company in the Transaction Documents or
any other certificate, instrument or documents contemplated hereby or thereby,
(b) any breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of the Company contained
in the Transaction Documents or any other certificate, instrument or document
contemplated hereby or thereby, (c) any cause of action, suit or claim,
derivative or otherwise, by any stockholder of the Company based on a breach or
alleged breach by the Company or any of its officers or directors of their
fiduciary or other obligations to the stockholders of the Company, or (d) claims
made by third parties against any of the Indemnitees based on a violation of
Section 5 of the Securities Act caused by the integration of the private sale of
common stock to the Investor and the public offering pursuant to the
Registration Statement.
To the extent that the foregoing undertaking by the Company may be unenforceable for any reason, the Company shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which it would be required to make if such foregoing undertaking was enforceable which is permissible under applicable law.
Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Party of notice of the
commencement of any action pursuant to which indemnification may be sought, such
Indemnified Party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the
other party (hereinafter "Indemnitor") under this Section 9, deliver to the
Indemnitor a written notice of the commencement thereof and the Indemnitor shall
have the right to participate in and to assume the defense thereof with counsel
reasonably selected by the Indemnitor, provided, however, that an Indemnified
Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, with the reasonably
incurred fees and expenses of such counsel to be paid by the Indemnitor, if
representation of such Indemnified Party by the counsel retained by the
Indemnitor would be inappropriate due to actual or potential conflicts of
interest between such Indemnified Party and any other party represented by such
counsel in such proceeding. The failure to deliver written notice to the
Indemnitor within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action, if
prejudicial to the Indemnitor's ability to defend such action, shall relieve the
Indemnitor of any liability to the Indemnified Party under this Section 9, but
the omission to so deliver written notice to the Indemnitor will not relieve it
of any liability that it may have to any Indemnified Party other than under this
Section 9 to the extent it is prejudicial.
(b) REIMBURSEMENT. If (i) the Investor, other than by reason of its gross negligence or willful misconduct, becomes involved in any capacity in any action, proceeding or investigation brought by any stockholder of the Company, in connection with or as a result of the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, or if the Investor is impleaded in any such action, proceeding or investigation by any person or entity, or (ii) the Investor, other than by reason of its gross negligence or willful misconduct, becomes involved in any capacity in any action, proceeding or investigation brought by the SEC against or involving the Company or in connection with or as a result of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, or if the Investor is impleaded in any such action, proceeding or investigation by any person or entity, then in any such case, the Company will reimburse the Investor for its reasonable legal and other expenses (including the cost of any investigation and preparation ) incurred in connection therewith, as such expenses are incurred. In addition, other than with respect to any matter in which the Investor is a named party, the Company will pay the Investor the charges, as reasonably determined by the Investor, for the time of any officers or employees of the Investor devoted to appearing and preparing to appear as witnesses, assisting in preparation for hearing, trials or pretrial matters, or otherwise with respect to inquiries, hearing, trials, and other proceedings relating to the subject matter of this Agreement. The reimbursement obligations of the Company under this paragraph shall be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have, shall extend upon the same terms and conditions to any Affiliates of the Investor who are actually named in such action, proceeding or investigation, and partners, directors, agents, employees and controlling persons (if any), as the case may be, of the Investor and any such Affiliate, and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successors, assigns, heirs and personal representatives of the Company, the Investor and any such Affiliate and any such person or entity. The Company also agrees that neither the Investor nor any such Affiliate, partners, directors, agents, employees or controlling persons shall have any liability to the Company or any person asserting claims on behalf of or in right of the Company in connection with or as a result of the consummation of the Transaction Documents except to the extent that any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses incurred by the Company result from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Investor or any inaccuracy in any representation or warranty of the Investor contained herein or any breach by the Investor of any of the provisions hereof.

obligated to pay Annual Basic Rent or Additional Rent until the Commencement Date. In the event Landlord shall not have delivered possession of the Leased Premises to Tenant within thirty (30) days after the Scheduled Commencement Date, and if such failure to deliver possession was (a) caused solely by the fault or neglect of Landlord, and (b) not caused by any fault or neglect of Tenant or due to additional time required to plan for and install other work for Tenant beyond the amount of time which would have been required if only building standard improvements had been installed, then, as its sole and exclusive remedy for Landlord's failure to deliver possession of the Leased Premises in a timely manner, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by delivering written notice of termination to Landlord at any time within thirty (30) days after the expiration of such thirty (30) day period.

If the Leased Premises or any part of the Building are damaged by fire or other casualty not due to the fault or negligence of Tenant, its employees, invitees, agents, contractors or servants, the damage to the Building and/or the Leased Premises shall be repaired by and at the expense of Landlord, excluding any alterations or improvements made by Tenant, unless this Lease is terminated in accordance with the provisions of Article 10.2 below. Until such repairs by Landlord are
completed, Annual Basic Rent and Additional Rent shall be abated in proportion to the part of the Leased Premises which is unusable by Tenant in the conduct of its business. If, however, such damage is due in whole or in part to the fault or neglect of Tenant or any subtenant of Tenant, or any of their respective agents, employees, servants, contractors or invitees, there shall be no abatement of Annual Basic Rent or Additional Rent and Tenant shall be required to repair all such damage at its sole cost and expense. There shall be no abatement of Annual Basic Rent or Additional Rent on account of damage to the Building or the Property unless there is also damage to the Leased Premises.
Tenant hereby waives any statute now or subsequently in effect which grants to Tenant the right to terminate this Lease or which provides for an abatement of rent on account of damage or destruction, including, without limitation, ARS. ss. 33-343.
10.2 Landlord's Option. If the damage is not fully covered by Landlord's insurance, or if Landlord determines in good faith that the cost of repairing the damage is more than one-third of the then replacement cost of the Building, or if Landlord has determined in good faith that the required repairs to the Building cannot be made within a one hundred twenty (120) day period without the payment of overtime or other premiums, or in the event a holder of a mortgage or a deed of trust against the Building or the Property requires that all or any portion of the insurance proceeds be applied in reduction of the mortgage debt, or if such damage occurs during the final year of the Lease Term, then Landlord may, by written notice to Tenant within sixty (60) days after the occurrence of such damage, terminate this Lease as of the date set forth in Landlord's notice to Tenant. This right will be reciprocal. If Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease, Landlord shall, at its sole cost and expense, repair the Building and the Leased Premises, excluding any alterations or improvements made by Tenant, and while such repair work is being performed, the Annual Basic Rent and Additional Rent shall be abated as provided above. Nothing in this Article 10 shall be construed as a limitation of Tenant's liability for any such damage, should such liability otherwise exist.
11. WAIVER OF SUBROGATION

Landlord and Tenant shall obtain for the other party from its insurers under each policy required by this Lease or otherwise maintained a waiver of all rights of subrogation which such insurers of Landlord or Tenant might otherwise have against the other party.
12. LANDLORD'S RIGHT TO PERFORM TENANT OBLIGATIONS
All covenants and agreements to be performed by Tenant under any of the terms of this Lease shall be performed by Tenant at Tenant's sole cost and expense and without any abatement of Annual Basic Rent or Additional Rent. If Tenant shall fail to pay any sum of money, other than Annual Basic Rent, required to be paid by it under this Lease, or shall fail to perform any other act on its part to be performed under this Lease, and such failure shall continue for ten (10) days after notice of such failure by Landlord (or such shorter period of time as may be reasonable in the event of an emergency), Landlord may (but shall not be obligated to do so) without waiving or releasing Tenant from any of Tenant's obligations, make any such payment or perform any such other act on behalf of Tenant. All sums so paid by Landlord and all necessary incidental costs, together with interest at the greater of (a) eighteen percent (18%) per annum or (b) the rate of interest per annum publicly announced, quoted or published, from time to time, by Bank of America, at its Phoenix, Arizona office as its "reference rate" plus four (4) percentage points, from the date of such payment by Landlord until reimbursement in full by Tenant (the "Default Rate"), shall be payable to Landlord as Additional Rent with the next monthly installment of Annual Basic Rent; provided, however, in no event shall the Default Rate exceed the maximum rate (if any) permitted by applicable law.

13.2 Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under this Lease
by Tenant, Landlord may, without prejudice to any other rights and remedies
available to a landlord at law, in equity or by statute, Landlord may exercise
one or more of the following remedies, all of which shall be construed and held
to be cumulative and non-exclusive: (a) Terminate this Lease and re-enter and
take possession of the Leased Premises, in which event, Landlord is authorized
to make such repairs, redecorating, refurbishments or improvements to the Leased
Premises as may be necessary in the reasonable opinion of Landlord acting in
good faith for the purposes of reletting the Leased Premises and the costs and
expenses incurred in respect of such repairs, redecorating and refurbishments

paid by Tenant to Landlord within ten (10) days after receipt of Landlord's
statement; or (b) Without terminating this Lease, re-enter and take possession
of the Leased Premises; or (c)Without such re-entry, recover possession of the
Leased Premises in the manner prescribed by any statute relating to summary
process, and any demand for Annual Basic Rent, re-entry for condition broken,
and any and all notices to quit, or other formalities of any nature to which
Tenant may be entitled, are hereby specifically waived to the extent permitted
by law; or (d) Without terminating this Lease, Landlord may relet the Leased
Premises as Landlord may see fit without thereby avoiding or terminating this
Lease, and for the purposes of such reletting, Landlord is authorized to make
such repairs, redecorating, refurbishments or improvements to the Leased
Premises as may be necessary Ill the reasonable opinion of Landlord acting in
good faith for the purpose of such reletting, and if a sufficient sum is not
realized from such reletting (after payment of all costs and expenses of such
repairs, redecorating and refurbishments and expenses of such reletting
(including brokerage commissions) and the collection of rent accruing therefrom)
each month to equal the Annual Basic Rent and Additional Rent payable under this
Lease, then Tenant shall pay such deficiency each month within ten (10) days
after receipt of Landlord's statement; or (e) Landlord may declare immediately
due and payable all the remaining installments of Annual Basic Rent and
Additional Rent, and such amount, less the fair rental value of the Leased
Premises for the remainder of the Lease Term shall be paid by Tenant within ten
(10) days after receipt of Landlord's statement. Landlord shall not by re-entry
or any other act, be deemed to have terminated this Lease, or the liability of
Tenant for the total Annual Basic Rent and Additional Rent reserved under this
Lease or for any installment of Annual Basic Rent and Additional Rent then due
or subsequently accruing, or for damages. unless Landlord notifies Tenant in
writing that Landlord has so elected to terminate this Lease. After the
occurrence of an Event of Default, the acceptance of Annual Basic Rent or
Additional Rent, or the failure to re-enter by Landlord shall not be deemed to
be a waiver of Landlord's right to subsequently terminate this Lease and
exercise any other rights and remedies available to it, and Landlord may
re-enter and take possession of the Leased Premises as if no Annual Basic Rent
or Additional Rent had been accepted after the occurrence of an Event of
Default. Upon an Event of Default, Tenant shall also pay to Landlord all costs
and expenses incurred by Landlord, including court costs and attorneys' fees, in
retaking or otherwise obtaining possession of the Leased Premises, removing and
storing all equipment, fixtures and personal property on the Leased Premises and
otherwise enforcing any of Landlord's rights, remedies or recourses arising as a
result of an Event of Default
13.3 Interest on Past Due Amounts. In addition to the late charge described in Article 14 below, if any installment of Annual Basic Rent or Additional Rent is not paid promptly when due, it shall bear interest at the Default Rate; provided, however, this provision shall not relieve Tenant from any default in the making of any payment at the time and in the manner required by this Lease; and provided, further, in no event shall the Default Rate exceed the maximum rate (if any) permitted by applicable law.
13.4 Landlord Default. In the event Landlord should neglect or fail to
perform or observe any of the covenants, provisions or conditions contained in
this Lease on its part to be performed or observed, and such failure continues
for thirty (30) days after written notice of default (or if more than thirty
(30) days shall be required because of the nature of the default, if Landlord
shall fail to commence the curing of such default within such thirty (30) day
period and proceed diligently to completion), then Landlord shall be responsible
to Tenant for any actual damages sustained by Tenant as a result of Landlord's
breach, but not special or consequential damages. Notwithstanding any other
provisions in this Lease, any claim which Tenant may have against Landlord for
failure to perform or observe any of the covenants, provisions or conditions
contained in this Lease shall be deemed waived unless such claim is asserted by
written notice of such claim to Landlord within ten (10) days of commencement of
the alleged default or of occurrence of the cause of action and unless suit be
brought upon such claim within six (6) months subsequent to the occurrence of
such cause of action. Tenant shall have no right to terminate this Lease, except
as expressly provided elsewhere in this Lease.
14. LATE PAYMENTS
Tenant hereby acknowledges that the late payment by Tenant to Landlord of any monthly installment of Annual Basic Rent any Additional Rent or any other sums due under this Lease will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which will be extremely difficult and impracticable to ascertain. Such costs include but are not limited to processing, administrative and accounting costs. Accordingly, if any monthly installment of Annual Basic Rent, any Additional Rent or any other sum due from Tenant shall not be received by Landlord within ten (10) days after the date when due, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge equal to the greater of the Late Charge Percentage set forth in Article 1.21 multiplied by such overdue amount or One Hundred and No/l00 Dollars ($100.00). Tenant acknowledges that such late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs Landlord will incur by reason of late payments by Tenant.

All property of Tenant kept or stored on the Property shall be so kept or stored at the risk of Tenant only, and Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless for, from and against any Claims arising out of damage to the same, including subrogation claims by Tenant's insurance carriers, unless such damage shall be caused by the willful act or gross neglect of Landlord and through no fault of Tenant. None of the events or conditions set forth in this Article 16 shall be deemed a constructive or actual eviction or result in a termination of this Lease, nor shall Tenant be entitled to any abatement or reduction of Annual Basic Rent or Additional Rent by reason of such events or condition. Tenant shall give prompt notice to Landlord with respect to any defects, fires or accidents which Tenant observes in the Leased Premises and/or the Building.

safes, and Landlord shall have the right to use any and all means which Landlord
may deem proper to open such doors in an emergency in order to obtain entry to the Leased Premises, and any entry to the Leased Premises obtained by Landlord by any such means or otherwise shall not under any circumstances be construed or deemed to be a forcible or unlawful entry into, or a detainer of, the Leased Premises or an eviction of Tenant from all or any portion of the Leased Premises. Nothing in this Article 17 shall be construed as obligating Landlord to perform any repairs, alterations or maintenance except as otherwise expressly required elsewhere in this Lease.
18. SUBSTITUTE PREMISES
18.1 Relocation of Leased Premises. Landlord may, before or after the Commencement Date, elect by notice to Tenant, to substitute for the Leased Premises other office space in the Building (the "Substitute Premises") designated by Landlord, provided that the Substitute Premises shall contain at least the same useable area as the Leased Premises and have a configuration substantially similar to the Leased Premises.

21. SUBORDINATION AND AT'TORNMENT
21.1 Subordination. This Lease and all rights of Tenant under this Lease
shall be, at the option of Landlord, subordinate to (a) all matters of record,
(b) all ground leases, overriding leases and underlying leases (collectively
referred to as the "leases") of the Building or the Property now or subsequently
existing,(c)all mortgages and deeds of trust (collectively referred to as the
"mortgages") which may now or subsequently encumber or affect the Building or
the Property, and (d) all renewals, modifications, amendments, replacements and
extensions of leases and mortgages and to spreaders and consolidations of the
mortgages, irrespective or whether leases or mortgages shall also cover other
lands, buildings or leases. The provisions of this Article 21.1 shall be
self-operative and no further instruments of subordination shall be required. In
confirmation of such subordination, Tenant shall promptly execute, acknowledge
and deliver any instrument that Landlord, the lessor under any lease or the
holder of any mortgage or any of their respective assigns or successors in
interest may reasonably request to evidence such subordination. Any lease to
which this Lease is subject and subordinate is called a "Superior Lease" and the
lessor under a Superior Lease or its assigns or successors in interest is called
a "Superior Lessor". Any mortgage to which this Lease is subject and subordinate
is called a "Superior Mortgage" and tile holder of a Superior Mortgage is called
a "Superior Mortgagee". If Landlord, a Superior Lessor or a Superior Mortgagee
requires that such instruments be executed by Tenant, Tenant's failure to do so
within ten (10) days after request for such instrument shall be deemed an Event
of Default under this Lease. Tenant waives any right to terminate this Lease
because of any foreclosure proceedings. Tenant hereby irrevocably constitutes
and appoints Landlord (and any successor Landlord) as Tenants attorney-in-fact
to execute and deliver to any Superior Lessor or Superior Mortgagee any documents required to be executed by Tenant for and on behalf of Tenant if Tenant shall have failed to do so within ten (10) days after the request for execution and delivery.
21.2 Attornment If any Superior Lessor or Superior Mortgagee (or any purchaser at a foreclosure sale) succeeds to the rights of Landlord under this Lease, whether through possession or foreclosure action, or the delivery of anew lease or deed (a "Successor Landlord"), Tenant shall attorn to and recognize such Successor Landlord as Tenant's landlord under this Lease and shall promptly execute and deliver any instrument that such Successor Landlord may reasonably request to evidence such attornment. Notwithstanding such subordination, Tenant's right to quiet possession of the Premises shall not be disturbed if Tenant is not in default and so long as Tenant shall pay the rent and observe and perform all of the provisions of this Rental Agreement, unless this Rental Agreement is otherwise terminated pursuant to its terms.
22. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE
Tenant shall, from time to time, within ten (10) days after written request
by Landlord, execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord a statement in writing
certifying: (a) that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or,
if modified, stating the nature of such modification and certifying that this
Lease, as so modified, is in full force and effect); (b) the dates to which

Commencement Date and the scheduled expiration date of the Lease Term; (f) the
rights (if any) of Tenant to extend or renew this Lease or to expand the Leased
Premises; and (g) the amount of Annual Basic Rent, Additional Rent and other
charges currently payable under this Lease. In addition, such statement shall
provide such other information and facts Landlord may reasonably require. Any
such statement may be relied upon by any prospective or existing purchaser,
ground lessee or mortgagee of all or any portion of the Property, as well as by
any other assignee of Landlord's interest in this Lease. Tenant's failure to
deliver such statement within such time shall be conclusive upon Tenant (I) that
this Lease is in full force and effect, without modification except as may be
represented by Landlord; (ii) that there are no uncured defaults in Landlord's
performance under this Lease; (iii) that Tenant has paid to Landlord the
Security Deposit; (iv) that not more than one month's installment of Annual

Commencement Date and the scheduled expiration date of the Lease Term are as
stated in the statement, (vi) that Tenant has no rights to extend or renew this
