1. | PART I |
Item 1. Description of Business
Image Technology Laboratories, Inc. ("ITL", “the Company”, “Registrant” or “we”) is a medical image and information management company in the healthcare IT market. The Company is a systems integrator that provides a total solution of hardware, software and service to the customer for their product.
The Company was founded and incorporated in the state of Delaware in 1997 by Dr. David Ryon, Chief Executive Officer and founder of The Kingston Diagnostic Center; Dr. Carlton Phelps, Chief Financial Officer and former Chief of Radiology at The Kingston Hospital; and Lewis M. Edwards, Chief Technical Officer and formerly Senior Technical Staff Member and lead engineer of the 3D Graphics Lab at IBM. In fiscal year 2000 ITL successfully completed a private placement (net of approximately $180,000), followed by an SB2 registration and a self-underwritten public offering raising net proceeds of $1.02 million to partially fund its development efforts.
The Company is headquartered in Kingston, New York – about 100 miles north of New York City. The Company’s shares of common stock are publicly traded on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol “IMTL”. Of the three original co-founders, only Mr. Edwards remains at the Company. In the first quarter of 2002, Dr. Phelps departed the Company and resigned from the Board of Directors. Dr. Ryon passed away suddenly in December of 2004. The Company has secured a roster of active customers, and is seeking to expand their sales and marketing initiatives by both organic and acquisitive growth strategies.
ITL’s lead product is their “WarpSpeed” software system, which is built on a unique modular architecture, with high throughput capabilities by a staff of software engineers experienced in designing and writing enterprise level programs. The result is a highly reliable, scalable radiology business solution, which is easily upgraded to meet the demands of a growing customer environment. These qualities allow ITL to deliver a radiology product specifically tailored to a customer’s requirements. Innovative development work will allow customers to stay at the forefront of technological advances by allowing easy extensions and upgrades to existing systems.
Products
WarpSpeed is a “Radiology Information System / Picture Archiving and Communications System”, known as RIS/PACS, for use in the management of patient information and the processing/storage of medical images by hospitals and diagnostic imaging centers. The RIS portion of the system inputs and stores patient demographics, scheduling information, insurance data, and the billing records required to service patients visit. The RIS system also manages the analysis reports generated by the radiologist resulting from reviewing the patient’s image data. The PACS portion of the system acquires and stores diagnostic images in standard DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) digital format from imaging equipment (called “modality” in the health industry) such as Computerized Tomography (CAT scan), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Ultrasound, Nuclear Imaging, Digital Fluoroscopy, Computed Radiography, Digital Mammography, Digital Radiography, Positron Emission Tomography (PET), etc, called a “study”.
- 2 - |
The uniqueness of WarpSpeed is in it being a monolithic RIS/PACS system made possible by the development of a single, central source of patient / study data called a database. Through the single database, the components of the RIS system and the components of the PACS system can easily share consistent data and provide a single source of information about a patient anywhere in the study process. This includes patient exam scheduling, patient demographics, insurance, imaging, statistics, mammography (BIRADS) reporting, diagnostic reports and billing records. Everything is available on a single application platform (WarpSpeed). The unified data also allows the efficient deployment of another key WarpSpeed component, the Workflow manager. The Workflow manager manages the process flow from the beginning to the end of a patient study. The Workflow manager eliminates multiple input of the same patient data into a non integrated RIS/PACS systems, eliminates the passing of folders between departments, reduces the number of confirming telephone calls, and removes the need to access multiple computer applications to access the patient’s data and status.
Further, unified data allows for images to be inserted into the radiologist’s report, a radiologist’s dictation to be part of the workflow process (and stay totally within the RIS/PACS system), and intelligent, automatic routing of work and data to the next individual(s) in the process flow. The WarpSpeed system also allows the sending of data via integrated e-mail or fax or storing it on a patient CD without evoking assistance outside the WarpSpeed application. ITL StudyNotes may be attached to a patient’s study by the radiologist, staff physician or department administrators via an ITL WebViewer, Administrative Workstation, Modality Workstation or Radiologist Display Workstation, and subsequently viewed by these system components.
The advantage of a monolithic database system is to improve the overall performance, reliability and efficiency of the radiology environment while reducing the operational cost to the hospital/radiology center. The design goal is also to enable more complex radiology studies and allow the hospital/radiology center to readily adjust to a fast changing technology world without the need to reconcile data from disjoint PACS and RIS systems.
The WarpSpeed application package is enterprise level software developed by knowledgeable and experienced enterprise level software/hardware engineers with the subject matter expertise of Board-certified radiologists. This should be a major factor in choosing a RIS/PACS system. The hospital/radiology application environment needs robust system performance, security, reliability and recovery capabilities. Engineers experienced in this enterprise environment can only develop such a system. The WarpSpeed development team has extensive enterprise level experience with graphics, database systems, operating systems, networking and application software. They have years of experience in the radiology environment. They understand performance and the requirements of data protection, system reliability, and the need for multiple levels of recovery in the critical places of both the hardware and software. These features are built into WarpSpeed and it is these same engineers who continue to support, service and expand the functionality of the product.
Another design objective of WarpSpeed is scalability. The WarpSpeed system consists of ITL proprietary application software running on commercially available computer hardware, operating systems and database. The modular design of the software allows the customer to have a WarpSpeed solution consisting of almost any size: from a single computer to a large, fully distributed system with separate computers handling the database, distributed file system storage, server components such as the Workflow Manager, Report Distribution Manager, Schedule Server and Background Transfer Service, and the client components such as the Radiologist Display Workstation(s), the Modality Workstations(s), the Stenography Workstation(s) and the Administrative Workstation(s). The distributed system is tied together with local high speed networking to allow the timely delivery of imaging and patient information to the radiologist. Innovative intelligent algorithms have been developed to reduce the network bandwidth and database storage requirements, which are two of the most significant cost factors associated with building a PACS/RIS system. Secure, remote access is available to radiologists and physicians via the internet. The WarpSpeed system allows for flexibility in configuring a total system, building the system to meet the hospital/radiology centers current needs while preserving growth paths.
The ITL WarpSpeed system may be configured with a fully redundant hot-standby secondary-server, generally located off-site, to enhance reliability and availability of patient data and images particularly in response to physical disasters. DICOM files, reports, database and transaction log backups are replicated to the secondary-server in near-real time, and the database instance running on the backup-server is kept in synchronization with the primary server within 15 minute intervals. In the event of a disaster, the secondary-server will assume a fully functional primary-server role in 30-45 minutes. ITL is not aware of any other RIS/PACS vendor that provides this capability in our market space. The ITL WarpSpeed system may also be configured with the DVD-stack ITL FileArchiver, allowing local or remote multiple DVD archive copies of DICOM files, reports and databases.
- 3 - |
At the heart of the system is a software module referred to as the ITL Workflow Manager. This software module is an IHE compliant workflow solution, which allows the entire process of patient scheduling, registration, image acquisition, image display, and radiographic report generation to be totally automated in WarpSpeed to a degree that is yet to be demonstrated in the industry. The software determines what resources are available on the enterprise and distributes the various pieces of work as applicable. For example, if multiple radiologists are logged on to the system, unread studies are distributed based upon their preference and sub-specialties. Once the study has been read and analyzed, the radiologist dictates the report, which, in turn, is distributed to an available stenographer. After transcription, the report returns to the reporting radiologist, wherever he/she is logged on, for proof reading and final signature. The workload manager makes sure that the data is available to the right person, at the appropriate time and at the desired location.
Following signoff, the ITL Report Distribution Manager prints, faxes and/or encrypts / e-mails the final report, maintaining substitutable versions of the diagnostic reports as .RTF files and generating archive versions as .PDF files for distribution and web access.
The ITL Schedule Server manages a centralized multi-site, multi-equipment time slot reservation system that includes a procedure-based scheduling methodology which allows an imaging facility to codify scheduling rules and hints across different types of imaging modalities, body parts and a virtually unlimited set of clinical study types.
The ITL Background Transfer Service (BTS) supports the transfer of DICOM image files from a remote location containing one or more imaging modalities connected to a main site via a WAN. The transfers take place in the background using algorithms that support recovery and restart in the event of network outages and errors while preserving bandwidth for interactive use at the remote site and freeing the technologist from waiting for transfer confirmation. Typically, the DICOM image objects pushed to the Modality Workstation by the imaging modalities are compressed using JPEG Lossless, JPEG-2000 Lossless or JPEG-LS Lossless compression prior to transfer by the BTS to the ITL RIS/PACS server site(s) where they are decompressed for faster access by the Radiologist Display Workstation, described below. The BTS, upon successful transfer of all of the images constituting an imaging study, injects the study into the workflow for assignment by the Workflow Manager.
Another component of the system is the ITL Radiologist Display Workstation. The Radiologist Display Workstation permits the simultaneous viewing of multiple diagnostic images (usually on high resolution displays) together with relevant patient data displayed on a supporting touch-screen display. The imaging information can be displayed in either film mode or stacking mode depending on the imaging modality and radiologists’ preferences. In film mode, the workstation emulates the current film based paradigm that uses traditional X-Ray view boxes to display multiple images. MRI and CT studies are typically viewed in stack mode with automatic cross-referencing across images intersecting in 3D space, as the radiologist scrolls up and down through the stacked series of images. The control of the Radiologist Display Workstation is via a surface acoustic wave (SAW) touch-screen workstation so as to not use valuable space on the high-resolution diagnostic monitors typically configured with the Workstation, improving the speed and accuracy of diagnostic interpretation.
The Radiologist Display Workstation consists of proprietary software developed by ITL and commercially available hardware. The unique feature of the display station is its ability to present a virtually unlimited number of diagnostic images on multiple display surfaces. The software can blend together a number of monitors, of arbitrary resolution, into one large virtual display, as required by the radiologist. A radiologist can read and interpret digital images from any imaging modality on a radiologist display workstation, which can be either local, or at a remote location when connected via encrypted tunnels (VPNs) over the Internet. This facilitates time-critical transfer of patient information between hospital departments, as well as rapid consultations by specialists at remote locations. The system also affords convenient home viewing by radiologists using lower-cost, reduced resolution monitor(s). The user-interface of the ITL Radiologist Display Workstation has been designed by radiologists for ease of use, offering an un-cluttered touch-panel control screen that does not intimidate new users while still making more sophisticated operations readily available.

The ITL Administrative Workstations are PC-based and are normally used for the RIS functions, such as patient demographic entry and maintenance, online report viewing, scheduling (both basic and procedure-based), schedule queries, workflow status monitoring and control, report log viewing, referring physician entry and maintenance, radiologist preferences management, schedule procedure creation and editing, study ICD-9 procedure code modifications, generalized RIS queries and “super-administrator” functions such as patient / study merges.
The ITL Stenography Workstation is also PC-based and provides for automation of much of the mundane and error-prone inclusion of patient, study and referring physician demographic information into the report. The Stenography Workstation application links to and controls Microsoft Word for the production of these reports, thus offering the stenographer a comfortable and familiar word-processing environment.
The ITL Modality Workstation is the WarpSpeed software component which is used to create, store, reproduce and transmit digitized images generated by DICOM-compatible diagnostic imaging equipment, including digital radiography, computed radiography, ultrasound, nuclear medicine, digital fluoroscopy, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging and digital mammography. The Modality Workstation is normally connected to the diagnostic imaging equipment via a high-speed local area connection. By acting as the DICOM gateway to the ITL WarpSpeed RIS/PACS system, the Modality Workstation enforces the requisite quality control to ensure that incoming studies are properly associated with the correct patient in the RIS, and that the incoming studies are ICD-9 coded by the individuals most closely associated with the actual performance of the study, namely the technologists operating the imaging modality. The Modality Workstation is capable of compressing / decompressing the DICOM images presented to it by the imaging modality using JPEG Lossless, JPEG-2000 Lossless or JPEG-LS Lossless compression.
ITL has leveraged the most recent advances in operating system design, software development, and networking tools in WarpSpeed to produce a product, which offers greater functional capability at lower costs through scalable system architecture. Microsoft Windows 2003 is employed on the WarpSpeed servers for its management, networking, distributed file system and message queuing, while Microsoft SQL Server provides the database infrastructure. Microsoft Windows XP is used for the Modality Workstation, Stenography Workstation and Administrative Workstation. It is the truly modular and scalable architecture, which permits function to be distributed incrementally across the hardware and give the customer tremendous freedom in designing their current and future system environment.
ITL has developed sophisticated software sub-systems to monitor and update the WarpSpeed system. These sub-systems allow the WarpSpeed system to be deployed in diagnostic imaging centers and small to mid-sized hospitals where typically local IT staff may not be available to monitor and administer the system, thus offering a potential savings personnel cost.
ITL has also developed an extensive set of internal data migration tools that enable us to quickly and efficiently import a customer’s existing RIS data into the WarpSpeed system, such as patient demographics, study history, schedules and referring physician lists. Standard DICOM files can also be imported and correlated with imported RIS data.
ITL began shipment of its WarpSpeed Web Portal, comprised of the ITL WebServer and ITL WebViewer in the second quarter of 2006, allowing referring clinicians secure access to images and reports using standard PCs running Microsoft Windows 2000 and XP using Microsoft’s .NET technology. The ITL WebViewer is fully integrated into the WarpSpeed workflow, allowing a radiologist to logon to one or more sites, view study images and reports, edit or sign reports and add or review ITL StudyNotes.

In summary, the WarpSpeed system provides a total, turn-key monolithic solution to the administrative (RIS) and imaging (PACS) aspects of radiology services that does not force local IT to manage the integration, support and data inconsistency issues of separate RIS and PACS products joined together by our competitors. WarpSpeed has the capability to automate a hospital’s radiology department or be the primary patient and image management system for any radiology diagnostic imaging center. In a hospital environment, WarpSpeed has been designed to interface with hospital information systems so that a patient’s clinical data can be integrated with diagnostics images for increased accuracy of image interpretation and diagnosis. ITL’s WarpSpeed system offers performance, enterprise level robustness, reliability and recovery, workflow management, and scalability. Our value to our customers include consistent and organized radiology process flow control, a completely electronic (vs. paper) solution, supporting a more accurate and reliable diagnosis by the radiologists with less opportunity for error, lower operating costs, overall better patient care. The accuracy of information maintained within the ITL WarpSpeed monolithic RIS/PACS system, along with the organized workflow, allows for more accurate billing and the potential for an improvement in the reimbursement rate by the imaging facility.
Marketing
ITL is marketing its WarpSpeed system in hospitals with less than 400 beds and freestanding radiology imaging centers. According to the American Medical Information, Inc. there are 2,795 major diagnostic imaging centers and more than 5,000 smaller imaging centers in the U.S. According to the American Hospital Association, there are 5,800 hospitals in the U.S. Approximately one-half have less than 400 beds, the generally accepted metric defining a medium-sized hospital.
According to market research by Frost & Sullivan, a leading industry research firm, the worldwide market for PACS was $1.8 billion in 2003 and will grow to $4.5 billion by 2010. Millennium Research Group reports that the U.S. market for PACS grew by over 25% in 2004 and, by 2009, will generate nearly $3.0 billion in revenue. Global Industry Analysts, another market research firm, is predicting that the global market for PACS and teleradiology systems will reach $4.4 billion by 2010.
PACS technology, while widely appreciated, has yet to be widely adopted in the medium to smaller (community) hospitals and single / multi-site imaging centers, offering an excellent opportunity for ITL and WarpSpeed. We believe that the lack of penetration of RIS/PAC systems into this market segment is a reflection of the limitation of current solutions to deliver expected value; the high purchase cost of solutions by the major vendors and the required IT staff and expertise. According to Frost & Sullivan, approximately 17.7% of hospitals in North America had PACS in 2003.
ITL markets a fourth generation medical information and image management system that we believe is more flexible, usable and scalable than any currently available product. The Company markets ITL's WarpSpeed system through an in-house marketing presence and a contract sales force supported by product advertising and promotion at industry trade shows. ITL offers the product at a price point, which is well within the reach of even the smallest hospital or imaging facility. The Company believes that it offers systems with superior price/performance characteristics without requiring the overhead of local IT staff at the imaging facility.
ITL also expects a major sub-segment of the market over the next several years will be PACS upgrades and migrations as early adopters begin to recognize the deficiencies of the earlier generation of products. This emerging opportunity will allow ITL to leverage its investment in migration tools and technologies to capture these customers.
The penetration of Computed Radiography (CR) imaging equipment into specialized clinics, such as orthopedic practices, presents an excellent opportunity for ITL to take advantage of its modular software architecture and package the WarpSpeed system into a family of offerings to such practices. Such a family will allow a lower cost of entry yet provide a growth path in terms of capacity and reach that should prove quite attractive in this space.
- 6 - |
ITL believes that 3D viewing capability continues to be an important factor in our diagnostic imaging market comprised of single / multi-site imaging centers and small (community) to medium hospitals, offering an improvement in certain diagnosis and a potentially higher reimbursement to the imaging facility. We expect that ITL’s expertise in 3D imaging will allow us to vigorously pursue this emerging market segment.
With the aging baby boomers starting to place more of a burden on the health care system in the U.S., ITL expects the diagnostic imaging market to grow to meet this demand. The increased awareness of the importance of Electronic Medical Records (EMR) as a means of controlling medical costs while improving patient care will, no doubt, impact the RIS/PACS market as the images and reports produced from RIS/PACS are an important component in EMR. ITL intends to pursue EMR within the RIS/PACS space and possibly beyond as other opportunities become evident to deploy our technology and expertise in medical information systems. In May 2007, ITL announced its participation in the Southern Tier Health Link Web Portal in association with Park Avenue Radiology. This Web Portal is part of the New York State Health Care Efficiency and Affordability Law for New Yorkers Capital Grant Program, often referred to as the HEAL NY Program. HEAL NY includes identification and support for development and investment in Health Information Technology initiatives at the regional level. http://www.health.state.ny.us/technology
ITL is selling WarpSpeed with two (2) pricing models: The first is an outright capital purchase and the second is a fee per-study-performed basis. The latter plan is an attractive approach for our clients, as there is no capital outlay, the cost is expensed, and the model does not penalize radiologists and clinical staff for multiple consultative reviews of the image data.
Competition and Competitive Advantage
ITL is unique among the 50+ companies in the U.S. that are marketing or developing RIS or PACS or RIS/PACS solutions for the radiology community. The Company believes that it is the only company that has implemented a single monolithic product that encompasses all aspects of the radiology business. To date no one company has captured a predominant market share. Some of the larger RIS/PACS vendors are GE Medical Systems, Agfa, Siemens Medical Solutions, Philips Medical Systems and Kodak Health Imaging – all of which have expended effort to integrate RIS and PACS. There are a number of vendors which now offer ‘single vendor’ (disparate database) RIS/PACS, and many vendors which offer simply the RIS or PACS components separately.
The superiority of ITL's system has been demonstrated in many areas. Its user interfaces are intuitive thereby minimizing training time and operator error. The unique touch screen interface increases speed of operation and productivity of the radiologist. Radiology report turn around is typically less than two hours, which is far superior to any other system currently in production. The underlying architecture and design characteristics have been shown to be highly scalable and flexible. These features alone set ITL apart from all competition.
We believe that our ability to configure a cost-effective secondary-server as part of the ITL WarpSpeed system offers our customers a disaster resilient system that we believe is not currently offered by any of our competitors in our market space. The ITL WarpSpeed system may be configured with a fully redundant hot-standby secondary-server, generally located off-site, to enhance reliability and availability of patient data and images particularly in response to physical disasters. DICOM files, reports, database and transaction log backups are replicated to the secondary-server in near-real time, and the database instance running on the backup-server is kept in synchronization with the primary server within 15 minute intervals. In the event of a disaster, the secondary-server will assume a fully functional primary-server role in 30-45 minutes.
The Company believes that most available RIS/PACS systems have significant drawbacks such as:
· | Poor user interfaces |
· | Inadequate workflow tools |
· | Lack of scalability |
- 7 - |
· | Prohibitive entry point purchase prices. |
· | Significant management oversight to maintain disparate databases |
ITL believes that such drawbacks account in part for the fact that none of its competitors have been able to capture more than 20% of the market in recent years. ITL intends to capitalize on these inherent weaknesses in the competition.
Product Approval Process
ITL is a registered medical device manufacturer by the Food and Drug Administration ("FDA"). The WarpSpeed solution is exempt from the pre-market authorization process by the FDA. Our products have been declared substantially equivalent to already approved products by the FDA.
Although ITL is aware that there is an international market for products such as WarpSpeed, we have no present plans to market our products in other countries, largely due to limited resources. However, should we decide to market WarpSpeed in other countries, we would have to comply with the laws of, and meet the applicable regulatory procedures and standards in each jurisdiction in which we sought to market our products. Approval in one jurisdiction does not assure approval in another as the various federal, state, and local regulatory authorities are independent of each other.
Insurance
ITL has obtained both corporate, product, and computer omissions and errors liability insurance. We are at risk to product liability claims if the use of our products is alleged to have caused harm to a patient. There is no direct contact between the ITL product and the patient.
Under the terms of our executive employment agreements we are obligated to maintain term life insurance for the benefit of Mr. Lewis M. Edwards, ITL’s Chief Technical Officer, in the amount of $300,000 if this can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. The Company, at this time, has not purchased life insurance.
Material Contracts
In May 2003, ITL signed a multi-year contract with Park Avenue Associates in Radiology PC., Binghamton NY, for the installation of its solution in a multi-site environment. This installation required the deployment of hardware and software in four physically separate locations interconnected with microwave links, fiber-optic cable, and a traditional LAN. The interconnections also include the use of secure, encrypted tunnels via the internet (VPN's). Remote review stations have been deployed in private physician's offices.
In January 2004, ITL closed a five-year contract for the WarpSpeed system with St. Anthony Community Hospital, Warwick, NY. St. Anthony is a member of Bon Secours Charity Health System, which owns and operates 32 health care facilities. ITL expanded its installation to an off-campus Women’s Center in May 2005, for digital mammography and ultrasound, and again in November 2005 at the hospital with the installation of Computed Radiography (CR) modalities as St. Anthony Community Hospital became essentially film-less. Our installation at St. Anthony Community Hospital also includes an ITL Backup Server, a fully-redundant hot-standby server.
In March 2005, the Company signed a contract for the sale of two of its WarpSpeed RIS/PACS systems to InMed Diagnostic Services of Massachusetts, LLC at multi-modality imaging centers specializing in women’s health care spread across three sites, and one WarpSpeed system to InMed Diagnostics Services of South Carolina, LLC in Columbia. The Columbia, South Carolina site is the largest imaging center of the InMed affiliates. In 2008, ITL added a WebServer to InMed’s Columbia, South Carolina site.

In September 2007 ITL and St. Anthony Community Hospital amended their contract for the installation of the ITL WebServer and WebViewer technologies.
In December 2007, Park Ave Radiology purchased an ITL Primary Server upgrade along with an ITL Backup Server.
In August of 2008, Bon Secours Community Hospital expanded off-site to the Bon Secours Care Center of Milford, PA. This included digital mammography, digital x-ray, ultrasound, and bone mineral densitometry.
In September 2008, InMed Diagnostic Services of South Carolina added a WebServer to their Columbia, South Carolina site.
In December 2008, ITL closed a contract with Orthopedic Associates, P.C. of Binghamton, NY. The installation includes the ITL WebServer and WebViewers.
In February 2004, the Company borrowed $125,000 from Valley Commercial Capital, LLC ("Valley"). This loan was evidenced by a promissory note and provided for interest at 8% per annum. In March 2004, the Company borrowed an additional $138,997 from Valley, also evidenced by a promissory note, which provided for interest at 8% per annum. The remaining balance of these loans was repaid in August 2006 as described below.
In December 2005, the Estate of Dr. Ryon loaned the Company an additional $36,000 under an amendment to the December 2004 promissory note. Additional amounts were loaned to the Company in March 2006 for $22,500, in August 2006 for $57,672 and in September 2006 for $153,375. These amounts, along with other previous loans to the Company by the largest stockholder totaling $374,548 were converted into 1,000 shares of Cumulative Convertible Preferred Series B stock in late September 2006, and all accrued interest was forgiven. Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock Series B can be converted to common stock of Image Technology Laboratories at a ratio of one share of Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock Series B to 2,700 shares of common stock. Either the stockholder or the Company may elect to force conversion after two years in units of 100 shares of Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock Series B. The Company may also elect to repurchase the Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock Series B in units of 100 shares of Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock Series B at any time for $432 per share of Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock Series B. Fixed dividends on the stock accumulate as 12.5 additional shares of Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock Series B per quarter. The underlying common stock, should the Company or shareholder elect to convert, is unregistered. The voting rights are set at one vote per share of Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock Series B.

During November and December 2004, Dr. David Ryon, the Company's principal stockholder, President, and Chief Executive Officer, until his death in December 2004, loaned the Company an aggregate of $105,000. In December 2004, to memorialize this loan, he executed, as President and Chief Executive Officer, on behalf of the Company, a demand promissory note payable to himself and bearing interest at 10% per annum. He also executed a security agreement, for himself on behalf of the Company, granting to himself a security interest in all of the Company's assets not previously encumbered as security for full payment under the note. Prior to April 12, 2005, the Company negotiated with the Estate of Dr. David Ryon a 24-month payment schedule, beginning in January 2006. The Company's Board of Directors approved the revised terms of the promissory note on April 12, 2005. In December 2005, the Estate of Dr. Ryon loaned the Company an additional $36,000 under an amendment to the December 2004 promissory note and the payment schedule was renegotiated to begin in January 2007. Additional amounts were loaned to the Company in March 2006 for $22,500, in August 2006 for $57,672 and in September 2006 for $153,375.26. These amounts, along with other previous loans to the Company by the largest stockholder totaling $374,548 were converted to 1000 shares of Cumulative Convertible Preferred Series B stock in late September 2006, and all accrued interest was forgiven.
In September 2005, the Company borrowed $50,000 from a member of the Company’s Board of Directors as part of a Bridge Loan Agreement that included the issuance of warrants to purchase 50,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company. The five-year warrants have an exercise price of $0.33 per share. The Bridge Loan had an annual interest rate of 14%. The principal of $50,000 was repaid in July 2007; $5,000 of the accrued interest was paid in September 2007 and a final accrued interest payment of $5,000 was made in March 2008.
In March 2006, largest stockholder loaned the Company an additional $22,500 under an amendment to the December 2004 promissory note.
In late August 2006 our largest stockholder loaned the Company $57,672, under an amendment to the December 2004 promissory note, to payoff the remaining balance of the Valley loans.
In September 2006, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with Dr. Carlton Phelps, our former vice president of finance and administration, chief financial officer, secretary and treasurer. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the Company paid Dr. Phelps a total of $153,375 consisting of attorneys’ fees awarded by the arbitrator and confirmed by the court plus interest calculated at a rate of nine percent per annum from September 4, 2004 until September 1, 2006. The Company filed an 8-K detailing this event with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 4, 2006.
In September 2006, the Company’s largest stockholder loaned the Company $153,375, the proceeds of which were used to satisfy the settlement with Dr. Phelps. This amount, along with other previous loans to the Company by the largest stockholder totaling $374,548 was converted to 1,000 shares of Cumulative Convertible Preferred Series B stock in late September 2006, and all accrued interest was forgiven.
In May 2007, our largest shareholder provided $3,684 to the Company as an interest-free loan in order to retain RIS/PACS market consultants. There are no repayment terms to this loan.
In June 2007, the Company entered into a five-year Accounts Receivable loan agreement with PowerLease Solutions, LLC and NetBank to borrow $650,000 at a 9.5% annual interest rate. Monthly payments are $13,651 and the loan is co-signed by the Company's principal stockholder. As of December 31, 2008, there was $486,153 outstanding under this agreement.

Dividend Policy
The Company does not anticipate paying any cash dividends on its common stock in the foreseeable future because it intends to retain its earnings to finance the expansion of its business. Thereafter, the Board of Directors in light of conditions then existing, including, without limitation, the Company's financial condition, capital requirements and business condition will determine the declaration of dividends.
Issuance and Sales of Securities
During 2006, the Registrant issued and sold the securities listed below in transactions exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4 (2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. No securities were sold in 2007.
In September of 2006, the Company sold 2,309,583 shares of common stock at a price of $0.10 to a group of seven accredited investors in a private placement under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Rule 506 of Regulation D thereunder. These unregistered shares of common stock were issued with registration rights. The proceeds of this sale of common stock were used to repurchase 2,309,583 shares of common stock at a price of $0.10 from Dr. Carlton Phelps, our former vice president of finance, chief financial officer, secretary and treasurer. The 2,309,583 shares of stock repurchased from Dr. Phelps by the Company were cancelled upon their tender. An 8-K was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 4, 2006. The net effect of the repurchase and subsequent cancellation of 2,309,583 shares of common stock as described above in combination with the sale of 2,309,583 shares of common stock as described above resulted in no change to the number of shares of common stock outstanding due to this transaction.

The Company converted a total of $374,548 of debt owed to our largest shareholder into 1,000 shares of Image Technology Laboratories Convertible Preferred Stock Series B issued to same shareholder in late September 2006. Convertible Preferred Stock Series B can be converted to common stock of Image Technology Laboratories at a ratio of one share of Convertible Preferred Stock Series B to 2,700 shares of common stock. Either the shareholder or the Company may elect to force conversion after two years in units of 100 shares of Convertible Preferred Stock Series B. The Company may also elect to repurchase the Convertible Preferred Stock Series B in units of 100 shares of Convertible Preferred Stock Series B at any time for $432 per share of Convertible Preferred Stock Series B. Dividends accumulate as 12.5 additional shares of Convertible Preferred Stock Series B per quarter. The underlying common stock, should the Company or shareholder elect to convert, is unregistered. The voting rights are set at one vote per share of Convertible Preferred Stock Series B.
The issuances described above were made in reliance upon the exemptions from registration set forth in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act relating to sales by an issuer not involving any public offering. None of the foregoing transactions involved a distribution or public offering. No underwriters were engaged in connection with the foregoing issuances of securities, and no underwriting commissions or discounts were paid.
At December 31, 2008, 1,100 shares of Preferred Stock Series B are outstanding. Such shares may be converted at the option of the holder or the Company to 2,970,000 shares of Common stock. Prior to conversion, such shares may be redeemed by the Company at $432 per share or $475,200 at any time until forced conversion by either party into Common stock.
Item 6. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operations
Overview
The following is a discussion of certain factors affecting the results of operations, liquidity and capital resources of Image Technology Laboratories, Inc. ("ITL"). You should read the following discussion and analysis in conjunction with ITL’s audited financial statements and related notes, which are included elsewhere in this Annual Report.
Business and Summary of Critical Accounting Policies:
ITL is a medical image management company in the healthcare information systems market. We were incorporated in Delaware on December 5, 1997. ITL has developed a single database "Radiology Information System and Picture Archiving and Communications System" known as RIS/PACS for use in the secure management of patient information and diagnostic images.
We expect that we will derive our future revenues primarily from sales of our WarpSpeed system and associated maintenance charges along with Application Service Provider (ASP) usage fees. We obtained our first contract for the sale of WarpSpeed and related hardware and maintenance services in August 2002. We continue to refine and enhance the capabilities of our WarpSpeed system.
For the twelve months ending December 31, 2008, we had a net loss $27,937 and have had recurring losses and negative cash flows from our operating activities since inception. On December 31 2008, we had a cash position of $188,629 and $10,195 in working capital.
- 12 - |
We believe that as a result of the proceeds from our financing activities, as well as anticipated cash flow to be generated by fees from, and sales of our RIS/PACS solution, we will be able to continue to meet our obligations as they become due through at least December 31, 2009. We also believe, but cannot assure, that if needed we will be able to obtain additional capital resources from financing through financial institutions and other unrelated sources and/or through additional related party loans or equity transactions.
Our cost and expense structures are related, in large part, to our anticipated future growth. We believe, however, that we have the ability to control the pace of our expenditures relative to our available resources as we have done in 2008. Included in such resources are the expectation of additional short-term loans and/or purchases of additional common stock by the members of our Board of Directors, as well as additional private placements of securities to unrelated third parties. There are no commitments of financing nor is there any assurance, that, if needed, such loans or security purchases will be available. If necessary, we also have the ability to reduce or curtail our planned level of activity. As a result of the aforementioned, our financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern.
Critical Accounting Policies
The Securities and Exchange Commission issued disclosure guidance for "critical accounting policies." The Securities and Exchange Commission defines "critical accounting policies" as those that require the application of management's most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods.
Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 to our audited financial statements, contained elsewhere in this report. We believe that the following accounting policies or estimates require the application of management's most difficult, subjective or complex judgments.
Revenue Recognition:
Revenues from the provision of radiology and imaging services are recognized over the estimated period during which the applicable services are performed provided that the fees are fixed and determinable and collection is reasonably assured.
Contracts for the sale of our imaging systems involve multiple elements including the delivery and installation of software and hardware products, training and system maintenance. However, we cannot allocate the revenues from such contracts to each element based on the relative fair value of each element. Accordingly, we will recognize the revenues from a system contract ratably over the period during which we are required to provide maintenance or any other service provided that the fees are fixed and determinable and collection is reasonably assured.
Valuation of Deferred Tax Assets:
We regularly evaluate our ability to recover the reported amount of our deferred tax assets considering several factors, including our estimate of the likelihood that we will generate sufficient taxable income in future years in which temporary differences reverse. Presently we believe that it is more likely than not that we will not realize a substantial portion of the benefit of our deferred tax assets based primarily on our projected operating results and, accordingly, have recorded a valuation allowance of $2,900,000. In the event that actual results differ from our estimates or we adjust these estimates in future periods, we may need to adjust this valuation allowance, which could materially impact our financial position and results of operations.
- 13 - |
Valuation of Long-Lived Assets:
We assess the recoverability of long-lived assets, such as equipment and improvements, whenever we determine that events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. Our assessment is primarily based upon our estimate of future cash flows associated with these assets. We have determined that there has not been an impairment of any of our long-lived assets at December 31, 2008. However, should our operating results deteriorate; we may determine that some portion of our long-lived assets is impaired. Such determination could result in non-cash charges to income that could materially affect our financial position and results of operations for that period.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2008 COMPARED TO THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2007
Revenue:
During the year ended December 31, 2008, our total revenues increased $283,552, or 53.06% to $817,990 from $534,438 in the prior year. We also deferred $18,333 in revenue associated with the sale of a system upgrade in late December 2007 that was installed in January 2008.
Revenue Discussion:
ITL is reporting fiscal year revenues, ending December 31, 2008, of $817,990. These revenues include sales of equipment upgrades at one of our customers and the purchase of an ITL WarpSpeed System. They include a significant contribution from the ASP usage fees at a new installation which became fully operational in early December 2007. Our revenues were derived solely from the Companies normal line-of-work: developing, selling and servicing medical image and information management systems. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, ITL reported total revenue of $534,438.
The Company expects that WarpSpeed system installations will continue in 2009 as a result of our ongoing investments in research and development, and additional focus on marketing. We expect that we will derive our revenues in the future primarily from sales of our WarpSpeed system and associated maintenance charges along with ASP usage fees.
Cost of revenue:
The cost of revenue in 2008 $59,825 of represents equipment costs of upgrades sold in 2008 along with depreciated costs of goods sold associated with our ASP installations. The cost of revenue in 2007 was $19,323.
Research and Development Expenses:
During the year ended December 31, 2008, we incurred research and development expenses of $369,700 as compared with $373,670 in the preceding year. These expenses are consistent with ITL’s efforts to enhance the WarpSpeed system while controlling costs and are primarily compensation to our Chief Technology Officer and engineering personnel.
Sales and Marketing Expenses:
During the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, we incurred sales and marketing expenses of $43,644 and $15,149, respectively; an increase of $28,495. The increase in this category of expenses was largely associated with the addition of marketing personnel. The Company has focused its efforts on continuing to control costs while identifying appropriate sales personnel and resources. These expenses are expected to increase in 2009 consistent with achieving our revenue goals.
- 14 - |
General and Administrative Expenses:
During the year ended December 31, 2008, we incurred general and administrative expenses of $255,571 as compared to $260,311 in the prior year, a decrease of $4,740. General and Administrative Expenses are attributable to compensation, travel, customer support and infrastructure-related costs. The Company is continuing to work diligently to control costs while focusing on revenue generating activities.
Net Loss:
During fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, we incurred a loss of $27,937($.00 per share), as compared to a loss of $272,164 ($.02 per share) for the year ended December 31, 2007. The Company is aggressively managing costs while focusing on increasing revenues from sales of our systems and software and ASP fees.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:
As of December 31, 2008, we had cash and cash equivalents of $188,629 and $10,195 (current assets -current liabilities) working capital as compared with a cash position of $295,495 and a working capital of $45,833 in 2007. In comparing FY 2008 with 2007, cash and cash equivalents decreased by $106,866 to $188,629; accounts receivable increased by $58,910 to $230,402 and total current assets decreased by $45,047 to $430,576.
During 2008, our operating activities utilized $9,558 of cash. This arose primarily from our net loss of $27,937 a non-cash addition of stock based compensation of $60,747, an increase in accounts receivables of $58,910 (taking away from cash), a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $9,207 (taking away from cash) and an decrease in deferred revenue of $6,667 associated with the sale of a system in late December 2007 which was installed in January 2008. In comparison, during 2007, our operating activities utilized $186,269 of cash. This arose primarily from our net loss of $272,164 as adjusted for a non-cash depreciation addition of $61,751, a non-cash addition of stock based compensation of $97,930, a decrease in accounts receivables of $23,347 and a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $45,469 (taking away from cash) and an increase in deferred revenue of $25,000 associated with the sale of a system upgrade in late December 2007 which was installed in January 2008.
During 2008, no new purchases of equipment were placed in service to generate revenue.
During 2007 our investing activities used $79,702 of cash, primarily to purchase equipment placed in service to generate revenue.
The above net uses of cash in 2008 were partially offset by our financing activities which totaled $116,425. This cash was used to repay loans from Net Bank of $111,794 along with $4,631 repaid to our bank line of credit. The above net uses of cash in 2007 were partially offset by our financing activities which totaled $558,202. This cash was generated by the proceeds from loans from stockholders and Net Bank which netted $601,631 along with $6,572 from our bank line of credit, and reduced by the repayment of notes and long term debt of $50,000.
In September 2002, we applied for, and received, a line of credit from M & T Bank, renewable annually, in the amount of $75,000. On December 31, 2008, the outstanding balance was $68,837
In February and March 2004, we borrowed an aggregate of $264,000 from Valley Commercial Capital, LLC ("Valley"). These loans required aggregate monthly payments of principal and interest of $8,273 through February 2007 and $4,682 in March 2007. In late August 2006, the remaining balance of these loans, $57,672, was paid. This payoff was funded by a loan from our largest stockholder and was converted to Cumulative Convertible Preferred Series B stock issued to our largest stockholder in late September 2006.
- 15 - |
In December 2004, we borrowed $105,000 from our former Chief Executive Officer, which was to be repaid over 24 months, beginning in January 2007. This amount was converted to Cumulative Convertible Preferred Series B stock issued to our largest stockholder in late September 2006.
In September 2005, the Company borrowed $50,000 from a member of the Company’s Board of Directors as part of a Bridge Loan Agreement that included the issuance of warrants to purchase 50,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company. The five-year warrants have an exercise price of $0.33 per share. The Bridge Loan had an annual interest rate of 14%. The principal of $50,000 was repaid in July 2007; $5,000 of the accrued interest was paid in September 2007 and a final accrued interest payment of $5,000 was made in March 2008.
In December 2005, our largest stockholder loaned the Company an additional $36,000 under an amendment to the December 2004 promissory note. An additional $22,500 was borrowed from our largest stockholder in March 2006. These amounts were converted to Cumulative Convertible Preferred Series B stock issued to our largest stockholder in late September 2006.
In September 2006, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with Dr. Carlton Phelps, our former vice president of finance and administration, chief financial officer, secretary and treasurer. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the Company paid Dr. Phelps a total of $153,375.26 consisting of attorneys’ fees awarded by the arbitrator and confirmed by the court plus interest calculated at a rate of nine percent per annum from September 4, 2004 until September 1, 2006. The Company filed an 8-K detailing this event with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 4, 2006. In September 2006, the Company’s largest stockholder loaned the Company $153,375.26, the proceeds of which were used to satisfy the $153,375.26 settlement with Dr. Phelps. This amount was converted to Cumulative Convertible Preferred Series B stock issued to our largest stockholder in late September 2006.
In May 2007, our largest shareholder provided $3,684 to the Company as an interest-free loan in order to retain RIS/PACS market consultants. There are no repayment terms to this loan.
In June 2007, the Company entered into a five-year Accounts Receivable loan agreement with PowerLease Solutions, LLC and NetBank to borrow $650,000 at a 9.5% annual interest rate. Monthly payments are $13,651 and the loan is co-signed by the Company's principal stockholder. As of December 31, 2008, there was $486,153 outstanding under this agreement. Fixed fees paid to PowerLease were $10,402.
We require cash to fund our working capital needs and capital expenditures, as well as to meet existing commitments. Such commitments include payments of existing loans including our line of credit, and $3,000 per month pursuant to a five-year lease commitment ending in December 2012 for our operations center in Kingston, New York. At times, in order to help in maximizing our working capital, our directors, officers and employees have contributed to capital or deferred compensation due under their agreements. It is anticipated, but not assured, that, should the need arise; such contributions or deferrals might be available to us in the future. Additionally, we are considering outside sources of equity funds and other types of financing in order to help support our anticipated growth. There can be no assurance that such efforts will be successful.
Management believes that as a result of the proceeds from financing activities, as well as anticipated cash flow generated by sales of its RIS/PACS solution (in addition to the current cash flow resulting from our installed ASP base), the Company will be able to continue to meet its obligations as they become due through at least December 31, 2009. Management also believes that if needed, the Company will be able to obtain additional capital resources from financing through financial institutions and other unrelated sources and/or through additional related party loans and private placements. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will become profitable or that financing will be available. Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amount and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Image Technology Laboratories, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Image Technology Laboratories, Inc. (“the Company”) as of December 31, 2008 and the related statement of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements. 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 audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Because of the matters described in the Basis for Disclaimer Opinion paragraph below, however, we were not able to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to provide a basis for an audit opinion.
Basis for Disclaimer Opinion;
We were not engaged as auditors of the Company until June of 2016 at which time much of the audit evidence necessary to provide a basis for an audit opinion had been destroyed or lost. We were unable to satisfy ourselves by other audit procedures concerning the assets and liabilities held at December 31, 2008, as well as the revenues and expenses recognized for the year then ended. As a result of these matters, we were unable to determine whether any adjustments might have been found necessary in respect of recorded or unrecorded assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses.
Because of the significance of the matters described in the Basis for Disclaimer Opinion paragraph, we have not been able to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to provide a basis for an audit opinion. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on these financial statements.
The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company’s significant operating losses raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Note 1 - Business:
Image Technology Laboratories, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated on December 5, 1997 and commenced operations on January 1, 1998. The Company develops software for a single database “Radiology Information System/Picture Archiving and Communication System", known as RIS/PACS for use in the management of patient information and medical images by hospitals and diagnostic imaging centers. The "PACS" portion of the system inputs and stores diagnostic images in digital format from original imaging sources such as: Computerized Tomography (CT), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Ultrasound, Nuclear Imaging, Digital Mammography, Digital Fluoroscopy and Radiography.
The "RIS" portion of the system inputs and stores patient demographics, along with the appropriate insurance, billing and scheduling information required to complete the patient's visit. All of the data is retained in standard formats, including the DICOM and HL-7 standards.
The Company obtained its first contract for the sale of its WarpSpeed system and maintenance services in August 2002. The Company is no longer in the development stage, but continues to refine and enhance the capabilities of its WarpSpeed system.
The Company has incurred recurring losses and negative cash flows from operating activities since its inception. The Company had cash of $188,629, $10,193 in working capital and a stockholders’ deficiency of $268,976 as of December 31, 2008. Management expects a reduction in the level of such losses as we increase the sales of our products. At times, in order to help in maximizing our working capital, our directors, officers and employees have contributed to capital or deferred compensation due under their agreements. It is anticipated, but not assured, that should the need arise, such contributions or deferrals might be available to us in the future.
Management believes that as a result of the proceeds from its recent financing activities, as well as anticipated cash flow generated by sales of or fees from its RIS/PACS solution, the Company should be able to continue to meet its obligations as they become due through at least December 31, 2009. Management also believes that if needed, the Company should be able to obtain additional capital resources from financing through financial institutions and other unrelated sources and/or through additional related party loans and private placements. However, there can be no assurance that the Company’s operations will become profitable or that financing will be available. Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amount and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Note 2 - Summary of significant accounting policies:
Use of estimates:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash equivalents:
Cash equivalents include all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when acquired. At December 31, 2008, the Company has no cash equivalents.

December 31, 2008 and 2007
Revenue recognition:
Revenue from the sale of radiology and imaging services are recognized over the estimated period during which the applicable services are performed provided that the fees are fixed and determinable and collection is reasonably assured.
Contracts for the sale of the Company's imaging systems involve multiple elements including the delivery and installation of software and hardware products, training and system maintenance. However, the Company cannot allocate the revenue from such contracts to each element based on the relative fair value of each element. Accordingly, it recognizes the revenue from a systems contract ratably over the period during which it is required to provide maintenance or any other services provided that the fees are fixed and determinable and collection is reasonably assured.
Any unearned revenue is included in deferred revenue in the balance sheet.
Concentrations of credit risk:
The Company derived substantially all of its revenues in both 2008 and 2007 from a limited number of customers, and all of its accounts receivable are also from these same few customers. The Company closely monitors the extension of credit to its customers while maintaining allowances, if necessary, for potential credit losses. On a periodic basis, the Company evaluates its accounts receivable and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts, based on a history of past write-offs, and collections and current credit conditions. Management does not believe that significant credit risk exists with respect to accounts receivable at December 31, 2008.
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with high-quality financial institutions. At times, the Company's cash and cash equivalent balances exceed the insured amount under the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation of $250,000.
Accounts Receivable:
Accounts receivable are stated at the amount management expects to collect from the outstanding balances. Management provides for probable uncollectible amounts through a charge to earnings and a credit to a valuation allowance based upon its assessment of the current collection status of individual accounts. Delinquent amounts that are outstanding after management has conducted reasonable collection efforts are written off through a charge to the valuation allowance and a credit to accounts receivable. Based on management’s review, there is no need for an allowance for doubtful accounts at either December 31, 2008 or 2007.
Research and development costs:
Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred.
Equipment and leasehold improvements:
Equipment and leasehold improvements are stated at cost. Depreciation of equipment is provided using accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from five to seven years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the estimated useful life of the asset or the term of the lease.

December 31, 2008 and 2007
Impairment of long-lived assets:
Impairment losses on long-lived assets, such as equipment and improvements, are recognized when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by such assets are less than their carrying value and, accordingly, all or a portion of such carrying value may not be recoverable. Impairment losses are then measured by comparing the fair value of assets to their carrying amounts. No impairments were recognized in 2008 or 2007.
Income taxes:
The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to the asset and liability method which requires deferred income tax assets and liabilities to be computed for temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The income tax provision or credit is the tax payable or refundable for the period plus or minus the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.
Net earnings (loss) per common share:
The Company presents "basic" earnings (loss) per common share and, if applicable, "diluted" earnings per common share in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share”. Basic earnings (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing net income or loss applicable to common stock by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. The calculation of diluted earnings per common share is similar to that of basic earnings per common share, except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if all potentially dilutive common shares, such as those issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants, were issued during the period. The rights of the Company's preferred Series A and common stockholders are substantially equivalent. The Company has included the 1,500,000 preferred shares Series A outstanding in the weighted average number of common shares outstanding in the computation of basic loss per share for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 in accordance with the "two class" method of computing earnings (loss) per share set forth in ASC 260.
Since the Company had net losses in 2008 and 2007, the assumed effects of the exercise of outstanding options, warrants or the conversion of preferred stock into common shares at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, were not considered in the computation of loss per share as they would have been anti-dilutive. However, these common stock equivalents could have potentially dilutive effects in the future.
Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has limited working capital and has incurred losses in each of the past two years. These factors create substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustment that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

Accounting for share-based payment
In 2006, the Company adopted ASC 718, “Compensation — Stock Compensation”. No stock-based compensation awards were granted in either 2008 or 2007. Stock-based compensation expense recognized in the year ending December 31, 2008 was $60,747. For 2008, such compensation is allocated $54,672 to research and development, $3,722 to sales and marketing, and $2,352 to general and administrative expenses. Stock-based compensation expense recognized in the year ending December 31, 2007 was $97,930. For 2007, such compensation is allocated $88,137 to research and development, $3,722 to sales and marketing, and $6,071 to general and administrative expenses.
Recent accounting pronouncements:
Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by FASB that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements upon adoption. The Company does not discuss recent pronouncements that are not anticipated to have an impact on or are unrelated to its financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.
Note 3 - Equipment and improvements:
Equipment and improvements consist of the following at December 31, 2008:
Equipment | $ | 384,376 | ||
Furniture | 9,140 | |||
Leasehold improvements | 3,505 | |||
Total | 397,021 | |||

Depreciation and amortization expense amounted to $54,442 and $61,751 in 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Note 4 - Notes payable to stockholders:
During November and December 2004, Dr. David Ryon, the Company's principal stockholder, President, and Chief Executive Officer, until his death in December 2004, loaned the Company an aggregate of $105,000. In December 2004, to memorialize this loan, he executed, as President and Chief Executive Officer, on behalf of the Company, a demand promissory note payable to himself and bearing interest at 10% per annum. He also executed a security agreement, for himself on behalf of the Company, granting to himself a security interest in all of the Company's assets not previously encumbered as security for full payment under the note. Prior to April 12, 2005, the Company negotiated with the Estate of Dr. David Ryon a 24-month payment schedule, beginning in January 2006. The Company's Board of Directors approved the revised terms of the promissory note on April 12, 2005. In December 2005, the Estate of Dr. Ryon loaned the Company an additional $36,000 under an amendment to the December 2004 promissory note and the payment schedule was renegotiated to begin in January 2007. Additional amounts were loaned to the Company in March 2006 for $22,500, in August 2006 for $57,672 and in September 2006 for $153,375.26. These amounts, along with other previous loans to the Company by the largest stockholder totaling $374,548 were converted to 1000 shares of Cumulative Convertible Preferred Series B stock in late September 2006, and all accrued interest was forgiven.

In September 2005, the Company borrowed $50,000 from a member of the Company’s Board of Directors as part of a Bridge Loan Agreement that included the issuance of warrants to purchase 50,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company. The five-year warrants have an exercise price of $0.33 per share. The Bridge Loan had an annual interest rate of 14%. The principal of $50,000 was repaid in July 2007; $5,000 of the accrued interest was paid in September 2007 and a final accrued interest payment of $5,000 was made in March 2008.
In May 2007, our largest shareholder provided $3,684 to the Company as an interest-free loan in order to retain RIS/PACS market consultants. There are no repayment terms to this loan and the Company has classified the obligation as long-term.
Note 5 – Long-term debt:
In February 2004, the Company borrowed $125,000 from Valley Commercial Capital, LLC ("Valley"). This loan was evidenced by a promissory note, which provided for interest at 8% per annum and called for monthly payments of principal and interest of $3,917 through February 2, 2007. In March 2004, the Company borrowed an additional $138,997 from Valley, also evidenced by a promissory note, which provided for interest at 8% per annum and called for monthly payments of principal and interest of $4,356 through March 29, 2007. The remaining balance of these loans, $57,672, was paid in August 2006 as described in Note 4.
In June 2007, the Company entered into a five-year Accounts Receivable loan agreement with PowerLease Solutions, LLC and NetBank to borrow $650,000 at a 9.5% annual interest rate. Monthly payments are $13,651 and the loan is co-signed by the Company's principal stockholder. As of December 31, 2008, there was $486,153 outstanding under this agreement.
Note 6 - Accrued compensation payable to stockholders:
As of December 31, 2008, accrued compensation payable to stockholders was $47,596, all of which is reflected as a current liability.
Note 7 - Stockholders' deficiency:
Preferred stock:
As of December 31, 2007, the Company was authorized to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $.01 per share. Under the Company's Articles of Incorporation, the Board of Directors, within certain limitations and restrictions, can fix or alter preferred stock dividend rights, dividend rates, conversion rights, voting rights and terms of redemption including price and liquidation preferences.
The Company converted a total of $374,548 of debt owed to our largest shareholder to 1,000 shares of Image Technology Laboratories Convertible Preferred Stock Series B issued to same shareholder in late September 2006. Convertible Preferred Stock Series B can be converted to common stock of Image Technology Laboratories at a ratio of one share of Convertible Preferred Stock Series B to 2,700 shares of common stock. Either the shareholder or the Company may elect to force conversion after two years in units of 100 shares of Convertible Preferred Stock Series B. The Company may also elect to repurchase the Convertible Preferred Stock Series B in units of 100 shares of Convertible Preferred Stock Series B at any time for $432 per share of Convertible Preferred Stock Series B. Dividends accumulate at 12.5 additional shares of Convertible Preferred Stock Series B per quarter. The underlying common stock, should the Company or shareholder elect to convert, is unregistered. The voting rights are set at one vote per share of Convertible Preferred Stock Series B.

The issuance described above was made in reliance upon the exemptions from registration set forth in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act relating to sales by an issuer not involving any public offering. None of the foregoing transactions involved a distribution or public offering. No underwriters were engaged in connection with the foregoing issuances of securities, and no underwriting commissions or discounts were paid.
At December 31, 2008, 1,100 shares of Preferred Stock Series B are outstanding. Such shares may be converted at the option of the holder or the Company to 2,970,000 shares of Common stock. Prior to conversion, such shares may be redeemed by the Company at $432 per share or $475,200 at any time until forced conversion by either party into Common stock.
Note 8 – Income taxes:
As of December 31, 2007, the Company had net operating loss carryforward of approximately $2,800,000 available to reduce future Federal and state taxable income that will expire at various dates through 2024. The Company's only other material temporary difference as of that date was approximately $48,000 attributable to accrued compensation payable to shareholders. Due to the uncertainties related to, among other things, the possible future changes in the ownership of the Company, which could subject those loss carryforwards to substantial annual limitations, and the extent and timing of its future taxable income, the Company offset the potential benefits of its deferred tax assets of approximately $1,120,000 (of which $1,071,000 was attributable to the net operating loss carryforwards and $49,000 was attributable to the future deductibility of the accrued compensation) by an equivalent valuation allowance as of December 31, 2008.
Note 9 - Fair value of financial instruments:
The Company's financial instruments at December 31, 2008 for which disclosure of estimated fair value is required by certain accounting standards consisted of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, notes payable, notes payable to stockholders and accrued compensation payable to stockholders. In the opinion of management, cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and notes payable were carried at fair value because of their liquidity and short-term maturities. Because of the relationship of the Company and its stockholders, there is no practical method that can be used to determine the fair value of the notes payable to stockholders and accrued compensation payable to stockholders.
Note 10 - Stock option plan:
In January 1998, the Company’s stockholders ratified Image Technology Laboratories' Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") whereby options for the purchase of up to 5,000,000 shares of Image Technology Laboratories' common stock may be granted to key personnel in the form of incentive stock options and non-statutory stock options, as defined under the Internal Revenue Code. Key personnel eligible for these awards include our employees, consultants and non-employee directors. Under the Plan, the exercise price of all options must be at least 100% of the fair market value of our common shares on the date of grant. The exercise price of an incentive stock option granted to an optionee who holds more than ten percent of the combined voting power of all classes of stock of Image Technology Laboratories must be at least 110% of the fair market value on the date of grant. The maximum term of any stock option granted may not exceed ten years from the date of grant and generally vest over three years.

Under the terms of the note, the Company received $25,000 and was charged an original issue discount of $5,000. The original issue discount has been recorded as debt discount.

We will continue to monitor and evaluate our disclosure controls and procedures on an ongoing basis to ensure that the reports we file under the Exchange Act include all of the information required to be disclosed. We are committed to taking further action and implementing additional enhancements or improvements, as necessary and as funds allow.

B) CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
There were no significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fourth quarter of the year ended December 31, 2008 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
C) MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f).
Our management, including our Principle Executive Officer who also serves as our Principal Accounting Officer, assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008 based on the criteria set forth in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on our evaluation under the criteria set forth in Internal Control - Integrated Framework, management believes that, as of December 31, 2008, our internal control over financial reporting was effective.
- 36 - |
