PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

 

THIS IS ONLY A SUMMARY AND DOES NOT CONTAIN ALL OF THE INFORMATION THAT MAY BE IMPORTANT TO YOU. YOU SHOULD READ THE ENTIRE PROSPECTUS, ESPECIALLY THE SECTION TITLED "RISK FACTORS" AND OUR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND THE RELATED NOTES INCLUDED IN THIS PROSPECTUS, BEFORE DECIDING TO INVEST IN SHARES OF OUR COMMON STOCK.

 

SPO MEDICAL INC.

 

SPO Medical Inc. is engaged in the design, development and marketing of non-invasive pulse oximetry technologies to monitor blood oxygen saturation and heart rate for a variety of markets, including medical, homecare, sports and search & rescue. Pulse oximetry is a non-invasive process used to measure blood oxygen saturation levels and is an established procedure in medical practice. We utilize proprietary and patented technologies to deliver oximetry functionality through innovative commercial products that address such applications as emergency care, home monitoring, sleep apnea, cardiovascular performance, cardiac rehabilitation and the physiological monitoring of military personnel and safety care workers. We have developed and patented proprietary technology that enables the use of pulse oximetry in a reflectance mode of operation (i.e. a sensor that can be affixed to a single side of a body part). This technique is known as Reflectance Pulse Oximetry (RPO). Using RPO, a sensor can be positioned on various body parts, hence minimizing problems of motion and poor profusion. The unique design features contribute to substantially lower electric power requirements and enable a wireless, stand-alone configuration with expanded commercial possibilities.

 

We were originally organized under the laws of the State of Delaware in September 1981 under the name "Applied DNA Systems, Inc." On November 16, 1994, we changed our name to "Nu-Tech Bio-Med, Inc." On December 23, 1998, we changed our name to "United Diagnostic, Inc." Effective April 21, 2005, we acquired 100% of the outstanding capital stock of SPO Medical Equipment Ltd., an Israeli company (“SPO Ltd.”) pursuant to a Capital Stock Exchange Agreement dated as of February 28, 2005 among our company, SPO Ltd. and the shareholders of SPO Ltd., as amended and restated on April 21, 2005 pursuant to which we issued to the former shareholders of SPO Ltd. a total of 5,769,106 shares of our common stock, par value $0.01 (the "Common Stock") representing approximately 90% of the Common Stock then issued and outstanding (the “Acquisition Transaction”). As a result of the Acquisition Transaction, SPO Ltd. became our wholly owned subsidiary and we changed our name from United Diagnostic Inc. to "SPO Medical Inc." Upon consummation of the Acquisition Transaction, we effected a forward subdivision of our Common Stock issued and outstanding on a 2.65285:1 basis.

Responding to the need for life-saving information in the field where people cannot be absolutely stationary, we have developed patented sensors that work accurately during mild physical activity. This technique uses a reflectance method (known as RPO) whereby a very small sensor placed on the body at various locations has the ability to measure oxygen saturation and heart pulse rate. We have incorporated our patented reflectance technology into portable devices for medical and consumer applications. We hold three patents issued by the United States Patent and Trademark Office covering various aspects of our unique RPO based technology.  

 

We currently have three commercial products utilizing our unique oximtery technology. These are the (i) PulseOx 5500TM -- a stand-alone commercial RPO spot check monitor for SpO2 and heart rate, (ii) Check MateTM--- addresses the sports and aviation market’s demand for a lightweight, inexpensive monitor for measuring SpO2 and heart rate during physically active and high-altitude activities and the PulseOx 7500TM --a monitor for extended monitoring of SpO2 and heart rate by means of RPO (the monitor is being initially marketed for pre screening of sleep apnea sufferers). The PulseOx 5500 was first commercially available in the fourth quarter of 2004. We currently have in various stages of development other devices utilizing its oximetry technology. Our mission is to build a profitable business that develops and commercializes medical biosensor products that improve people's lives and increases stockholder value. We intend to leverage our core technologies to develop new, innovative product applications.

 

 

SHARES BEING REGISTERED

 

We are filing this registration statement, including the prospectus attached to it, in satisfaction of undertakings that we undertook in connection with the certain private placements of our debt securities and warrants that we completed in 2005 and 2006, pursuant to which we raised in the aggregate $2,094,000 in gross proceeds. See “ Agreements with the Selling Stockholders ”. In connection with these private placements, we are registering the resale of 3,316,327 shares of our common stock, par value $0.001 (the “Common Stock”) issuable upon exercise of warrants issued to the investors in these private placements and upon conversion of interest due on the notes that we issued in the 2005 private placement.

 

In addition, we are also including in this Registration statement an additional 270,833 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of certain warrants previously granted to other stockholders and 948,949 shares of Common Stock previously issued to investors upon conversion of certain promissory notes that we issued in January 2005 in the aggregate principal amount of $300,000. Finally, we are including in this Registration Statement 50,000 shares of Common Stock that may be issuable upon exercise of three year warrants that we issued in March 2007 to an institutional investor in consideration of the extension to us of a $200,000 line of credit under which we can draw as needed until January 28, 2008. The terms and provisions applicable to these issuances are discussed in further detail in this Prospectus under the caption. See " Description of the Agreements with the Selling Stockholders. ”

RISK FACTORS

 

 

RISK FACTORS

 

INVESTING IN OUR COMMON STOCK INVOLVES A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK. YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES DESCRIBED BELOW BEFORE YOU PURCHASE ANY OF OUR COMMON STOCK. IF ANY OF THESE RISKS OR UNCERTAINTIES ACTUALLY OCCURS, OUR BUSINESS, FINANCIAL CONDITION OR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS COULD BE MATERIALLY ADVERSELY AFFECTED. IN THIS EVENT YOU COULD LOSE ALL OR PART OF YOUR INVESTMENT.

WE HAVE A HISTORY OF LOSSES AND EXPECT TO INCUR LOSSES AND NEGATIVE OPERATING CASH FLOWS IN THE FUTURE.

 

Our accumulated deficit was approximately $11,049,000 as at December 31, 2006. We expect our operating losses to continue as we continue to expend resources to further develop and enhance our existing product lines, to complete development of new generation products, obtain regulatory clearances or approvals, expand our marketing, sales, manufacturing and finance capabilities and conduct further research and development.

 

We also expect to experience negative cash flow in the future as we fund our operating losses and capital expenditures. We currently have three products that are commercially available. In order to achieve and maintain profitability we must expand our existing product lines.

 

WE MAY NEED TO RAISE ADDITIONAL FUNDS TO IMPLEMENT OUR BUSINESS PLAN AND THERE IS NO ASSURANCE THAT SUCH FUNDS CAN BE RAISED ON TERMS THAT WE WOULD FIND ACCEPTABLE, OR AT ALL.

 

Although management believes funds on hand as well as revenues that we expect to generate in the ordinary course of our business may enable us to meet our operating liquidity needs as they arise, circumstances may arise that would require us to raise additional capital in order to meet our liquidity needs and satisfy our current business plan.   We do not know whether additional financing will be available when needed, or on terms favorable to our stockholders or us. We may raise any necessary funds through public or private equity offerings, debt financings or additional corporate collaboration and licensing arrangements. Any failure to achieve adequate funding in a timely fashion would delay our development programs and could lead to abandonment of one or more of our development initiatives. To the extent we cannot obtain additional funding, our ability to continue to develop and introduce products to market will be limited. Any additional equity financing may be dilutive to stockholders, and debt and certain types of equity financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants or other provisions that would limit how we conduct our business or finance our operations.

 

WE ARE CURRENTLY DEPENDENT ON LIMITED NUMBER OF PRODUCTS AND IN ORDER TO SUCCEED WE WILL NEED TO DEVELOP AND COMMERCIALIZE OTHER PRODUCTS CURRENTLY UNDER DEVELOPMENT.

 

Unlike many of our competitors which have commercialized a number of products, we are currently dependent on our three pulse oximetry products for the generation of revenues. The PulseOx 5500 was first commercially available in the fourth quarter of 2004. While our core technology has a number of potentially beneficial uses, if that core technology is not widely accepted in the marketplace, we currently do not have other commercialized products to fall back on.

 

We began commercial distribution of the PulseOx 7500TM first quarter 2007. Commercial distribution of the PedOMetrixTM, a monitor being designed specifically for the use with infants and also currently under development, is expected to commence during late fourth quarter of 2007. However, potential products that appear to be promising at any development stage may not reach the market for a number of reasons. These reasons include the possibility that the potential products may:

 

·

be found ineffective or cause harmful side effects;

 

·

fail to receive necessary regulatory approvals;

 

·

be precluded from commercialization by proprietary rights of third parties;

 

·

be difficult to manufacture on a large scale; or

 

·

be uneconomical or fail to achieve market acceptance.

 

If any of these potential problems occur, we may not successfully market these products.

 

WE DO NOT HAVE A LONG OPERATING HISTORY, WHICH MAKES IT DIFFICULT FOR YOU TO EVALUATE OUR BUSINESS.

 

SPO Ltd. commenced operations in 1998. We introduced our first product into the marketplace in the fourth quarter of 2004. Accordingly, there is limited historical information regarding our revenue trends and operations upon which investors can evaluate our business. Our prospects must be considered in light of the substantial risks, expenses, uncertainties and difficulties encountered by entrants into the medical device industry, which is characterized by increasing intense competition and the relative failure rates.

THE SALE OF OUR PRODUCTS IN THE UNITED STATES IS SUBJECT TO GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS AND WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO OBTAIN CERTAIN NECESSARY CLEARANCES OR APPROVALS.

 

The design, manufacturing, labeling, distribution and marketing of medical device products in the United States is subject to extensive and rigorous regulation by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). In order for us to market our products in the United States, we must obtain clearance or approval from the FDA. which can be expensive and uncertain and can cause lengthy delays before we can begin selling our products. We cannot be sure:

 

·

that we, or any collaborative partner, will make timely filings with the FDA;

 

·

that the FDA will act favorably or quickly on these submissions;

 

·

that we will not be required to submit additional information or perform additional clinical studies;

 

·

that we would not be required to submit an application for pre-market approval, rather than a 510(k) pre-market notification submission as described below; or

 

·

that other significant difficulties and costs will not be encountered to obtain FDA clearance or approval.

 

The FDA may impose strict labeling or other requirements as a condition of its clearance or approval, any of which could limit our ability to market our products. Further, if we wish to modify a product after FDA clearance of a pre-market notification or approval of a pre-market approval application, including changes in indications or other modifications that could affect safety and efficacy, additional clearances or approvals will be required from the FDA. Any request by the FDA for additional data, or any requirement by the FDA that we conduct additional clinical studies or submit to the more rigorous and lengthier pre-market approval process, could result in a significant delay in bringing our products to market and substantial additional research and other expenditures. Similarly, any labeling or other conditions or restrictions imposed by the FDA on the marketing of our products could hinder our ability to effectively market our products. Any of the above actions by the FDA could delay or prevent altogether our ability to market and distribute our products. Further, there may be new FDA policies or changes in FDA policies that could be adverse to us.

 

OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES, WE ARE SUBJECT TO GOVERNMENT REGULATION, WHICH COULD DELAY OR PREVENT OUR ABILITY TO SELL OUR PRODUCTS IN CERTAIN JURISDICTIONS.

 

In order for us to market our products in Europe and some other international jurisdictions, we and our distributors and agents must obtain required regulatory registrations or approvals. We must also comply with extensive regulations regarding safety, efficacy and quality in those jurisdictions. We may not be able to obtain the required regulatory registrations or approvals, or we may be required to incur significant costs in obtaining or maintaining any regulatory registrations or approvals we receive. Delays in obtaining any registrations or approvals required to market our products, failure to receive these registrations or approvals, or future loss of previously obtained registrations or approvals would limit our ability to sell our products internationally. For example, international regulatory bodies have adopted various regulations governing product standards, packaging requirements, labeling requirements, import restrictions, tariff regulations, duties and tax requirements. These regulations vary from country to country.

 

EVEN IF WE OBTAIN CLEARANCE OR APPROVAL TO SELL OUR PRODUCTS, WE ARE SUBJECT TO ONGOING REQUIREMENTS AND INSPECTIONS THAT COULD LEAD TO THE RESTRICTION, SUSPENSION OR REVOCATION OF OUR CLEARANCE.

 

We are required to adhere to applicable FDA regulations and ISO standards regarding good manufacturing practice, which include testing, control, and documentation requirements. We are subject to similar regulations in foreign countries. Ongoing compliance with good manufacturing practice and other applicable regulatory requirements will be strictly enforced in the United States through periodic inspections by state and federal agencies, including the FDA, and in international jurisdictions by comparable Notified Body for CE Marking and ISO Standards. Failure to comply with these regulatory requirements could result in, among other things, warning letters, fines, injunctions, civil penalties, recall or seizure of products, total or partial suspension of production, failure to obtain premarket clearance or premarket approval for devices, withdrawal of approvals previously obtained, and criminal prosecution. The restriction, suspension or revocation of regulatory approvals or any other failure to comply with regulatory requirements would limit our ability to operate and could increase our costs.

 

OUR SUCCESS LARGELY DEPENDS ON OUR ABILITY TO OBTAIN AND PROTECT THE PROPRIETARY INFORMATION ON WHICH WE BASE OUR PRODUCTS.

 

Our success depends in large part upon our ability to establish and maintain the proprietary nature of our technology through the patent process, as well as our ability to license from others patents and patent applications necessary to develop our products. If any of our patents are successfully challenged, invalidated or circumvented, or our right or ability to manufacture our products was to be limited, our ability to continue to manufacture and market our products could be adversely affected.

 

The defense of patent infringement suits is costly and time-consuming and their outcome is uncertain. An adverse determination in litigation could subject us to significant liabilities, require us to obtain licenses from third parties, or restrict or prevent us from selling our products in certain markets. Although patent and intellectual property disputes are often settled through licensing or similar arrangements, costs associated with such arrangements may be substantial and could include ongoing royalties. Furthermore, the necessary licenses may not be available to us on satisfactory terms, if at all. Thus, as discussed above, if third party patents cover any aspect of our products or processes, then we may lack freedom to operate in accordance with our business plan.

 

4

---

 

We have been issued three United States patents. One or more of the patents for our existing or future products, may be successfully challenged, invalidated or circumvented, or we may otherwise be unable to rely on these patents. These risks are also present for the process we use or will use for manufacturing our products. In addition, our competitors, many of whom have substantial resources and have made substantial investments in competing technologies, may apply for and obtain patents that prevent, limit or interfere with our ability to make, use and sell our products, either in the United States or in international markets.

 

The medical device industry has been characterized by extensive litigation regarding patents and other intellectual property rights. In addition, the United States Patent and Trademark Office may institute interference proceedings. The defense and prosecution of intellectual property suits, Patent and Trademark Office proceedings and related legal and administrative proceedings are both costly and time consuming. Moreover, we may need to litigate to enforce our patents, to protect our trade secrets or know-how, or to determine the enforceability, scope and validity of the proprietary rights of others. Any litigation or interference proceedings involving us may require us to incur substantial legal and other fees and expenses and may require some of our employees to devote all or a substantial portion of their time to the proceedings. An adverse determination in the proceedings could subject us to significant liabilities to third parties, require us to seek licenses from third parties or prevent us from selling our products in some or all markets. We may not be able to reach a satisfactory settlement of any dispute by licensing necessary patents or other intellectual property. Even if we reached a settlement, the settlement process may be expensive and time consuming, and the terms of the settlement may require us to pay substantial royalties. An adverse determination in a judicial or administrative proceeding or the failure to obtain a necessary license could prevent us from manufacturing and selling our products.

 

In addition to patents, we rely on trade secrets and proprietary know-how, which we seek to protect, in part, through confidentiality and proprietary information agreements. The other parties to these agreements may breach these provisions, and we may not have adequate remedies for any breach. Additionally, our trade secrets could otherwise become known to or be independently developed by competitors.

 

Finally, our PulseOx 7500TM utilizes third party owned proprietary licensed software. If for, whatever reason, we are unable to maintain the license or renew it on commercially acceptable terms (or at all) or if such party’s right to such proprietary rights are challenged and we are unable to maintain these licenses or obtain or develop replacement technologies, our business may be adversely affected.

 

WE ARE DEVELOPING OUR CURRENT PRODUCT LINES INDEPENDENTLY FROM ANY COLLABORATIVE PARTNERS, WHICH WILL REQUIRE US TO ACCESS ADDITIONAL CAPITAL AND TO DEVELOP ADDITIONAL SKILLS TO PRODUCE, MARKET AND DISTRIBUTE THESE PRODUCTS.

 

We are independently finishing development, building up production capacity, launching, marketing and distributing our oximetry line of products. These activities require additional resources and skills that we will need to secure. There is no assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient capital or attract and retain skilled personnel to enable us to finish development, launch and market these products. Thus, there can be no assurance that we will be able to commercialize all, or any, of these products.

 

OUR PRODUCTS USE NOVEL TECHNOLOGIES OR APPLY TECHNOLOGIES IN MORE INNOVATIVE WAYS THAN OTHER COMPETING MEDICAL DEVICES AND ARE OR WILL BE NEW TO THE MARKET;ACCORDINGLY, WE MAY NOT BE SUCCESSFUL IN ACHIEVING WIDE ACCEPTANCE OF OUR PRODUCTS AND OUR OPERATIONS AND GROWTH WOULD BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED.

 

Our products are based on new methods of reflective pulse oximetry. If our products do not achieve significant market acceptance, our sales will be limited and our financial condition may suffer. Physicians and individuals may not recommend or use our products unless they determine that these products are an attractive alternative to current tests that have a long history of safe and effective use. To date, few independent studies regarding our products have been published. The lack of independent studies limits the ability of doctors or consumers to compare our products to conventional products.

 

IF WE ARE UNABLE TO COMPETE EFFECTIVELY IN THE HIGHLY COMPETITIVE MEDICAL DEVICE INDUSTRY, OUR FUTURE GROWTH AND OPERATING RESULTS WILL SUFFER.

 

The medical device industry in general, and the markets in which we expect to offer products in particular, are intensely competitive. Many of our competitors have substantially greater financial, research, technical, manufacturing, marketing and distribution resources than we possess and have greater name recognition and lengthier operating histories in the health care industry. We may not be able to effectively compete against these and other competitors. A number of competitors offer oximetry products. These products and monitors are widely accepted in the health care industry and have a long history of accurate and effective use. Further, if our products are not available at competitive prices, health care administrators who are subject to increasing pressures to reduce costs may not elect to purchase them.

 

Furthermore, our competitors may succeed in developing, either before or after the development and commercialization of our further products, devices and technologies that permit more efficient, less expensive non-invasive and less invasive pulse oximetry monitoring.

 

WE HAVE LIMITED MANUFACTURING EXPERIENCE, WHICH COULD LIMIT OUR GROWTH.

 

We do not have sufficient internal manufacturing experience that would enable us to make products in the volumes that would be necessary for us to achieve significant commercial sales, and we rely upon our suppliers. In addition, we may not be able to establish and maintain reliable, efficient, full scale manufacturing at commercially reasonable costs, in a timely fashion. Difficulties we encounter in manufacturing scale-up, or our failure to implement and maintain our manufacturing facilities in accordance with good manufacturing practice regulations, international quality standards or other regulatory requirements, could result in a delay or termination of production. We may decide to manufacture these products ourselves in the future or may decide to manufacture products that are currently under development in this market segment. Companies often encounter difficulties in scaling up production, including problems involving production yield, quality control and assurance, and shortages of qualified personnel.

 

5

---

 

Since we are relying on third party manufacturing for our initial product offerings in the pulse oximetry product line, we are dependent upon those parties for product supply. Any delay in initiating production or scaling production to higher volumes could result in delays of product introduction, or create lower availability of product than our expectations. These delays could lead to lower revenue achievement and additional cash requirements for us.

 

CONCENTRATIONS OF AVAILABLE SOURCES OF SUPPLY OF PRODUCTS

 

Certain components used in the Company's products are currently available to the Company from only one source and other components are currently available from only a limited number of sources. The Company does not have long-term supply contracts with its suppliers. In addition, the Company employs several unaffiliated subcontractors outside of Israel for the manufacture of its chipsets. While the Company has been able to obtain adequate supplies of components and has experienced no material problems with subcontractors to date, in the event that any of these suppliers or subcontractors is unable to meet the Company's requirements in a timely manner, the Company may experience an interruption in production. Any such disruption, or any other interruption of such suppliers' or subcontractors' ability to provide components to the Company and manufacture its chipsets, could result in delays in making product shipments, which could have a material adverse impact on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

OUR LIMITED MARKETING AND SALES EXPERIENCE MAKES OUR REVENUE UNCERTAIN.

 

We are responsible for marketing our oximetry product line. We have relatively limited experience in marketing or selling medical device products and only have a two person internal marketing and sales team. In order to successfully continue to market and sell our products, we must either develop a marketing and sales force or expand our arrangements with third parties to market and sell our products. We may not be able to successfully develop an effective marketing and sales force, and we may not be able to enter into and maintain marketing and sales agreements with third parties on acceptable terms, if at all. If we develop our own marketing and sales capabilities, we will compete with other companies that have experienced and well-funded marketing and sales operations. If we enter into a marketing arrangement with a third party, any revenues we would receive will be dependent on this third party, and we will likely be required to pay a sales commission or similar compensation to this party. The efforts of these third parties for the marketing and sale of our products may not be successful.

 

BECAUSE WE OPERATE IN AN INDUSTRY WITH SIGNIFICANT PRODUCT LIABILITY RISK, AND WE HAVE NOT SPECIFICALLY INSURED AGAINST THIS RISK, WE MAY BE SUBJECT TO SUBSTANTIAL CLAIMS AGAINST OUR PRODUCTS.

 

The development, manufacture and sale of medical products entail significant risks of product liability claims. We currently have limited product liability insurance coverage beyond that provided by our general liability insurance. Accordingly, we may not be adequately protected from any liabilities, including any adverse judgments or settlements, we might incur in connection with the development, clinical testing, manufacture and sale of our products. A successful product liability claim or series of claims brought against us that result in an adverse judgment against or settlement by us in excess of any insurance coverage could seriously harm our financial condition or reputation. In addition, product liability insurance is expensive and may not be available to us on acceptable terms, if at all.

 

THE AVAILABILITY OF THIRD-PARTY REIMBURSEMENT FOR OUR PRODUCTS IS UNCERTAIN, WHICH MAY LIMIT CONSUMER USE AND THE MARKET FOR OUR PRODUCTS.

 

In the United States and elsewhere, sales of medical products are dependent, in part, on the ability of consumers of these products to obtain reimbursement for all or a portion of their cost from third-party payors, such as government and private insurance plans. Any inability of patients, hospitals, physicians and other users of our products to obtain sufficient reimbursement from third-party payors for our products, or adverse changes in relevant governmental policies or the policies of private third-party payors regarding reimbursement for these products, could limit our ability to sell our products on a competitive basis. We are unable to predict what changes will be made in the reimbursement methods used by third-party health care payors. Moreover, third-party payors are increasingly challenging the prices charged for medical products and services, and some health care providers are gradually adopting a managed care system in which the providers contract to provide comprehensive health care services for a fixed cost per person. Patients, hospitals and physicians may not be able to justify the use of our products by the attendant cost savings and clinical benefits that we believe will be derived from the use of our products, and therefore may not be able to obtain third-party reimbursement.

 

Reimbursement and health care payment systems in international markets vary significantly by country and include both government sponsored health care and private insurance. We may not be able to obtain approvals for reimbursement from these international third-party payors in a timely manner, if at all. Any failure to receive international reimbursement approvals could have an adverse effect on market acceptance of our products in the international markets in which approvals are sought.

OUR SUCCESS DEPENDS ON OUR ABILITY TO ATTRACT AND RETAIN SCIENTIFIC, TECHNICAL, MANAGERIAL AND FINANCE PERSONNEL.

 

Our ability to operate successfully and manage our future growth depends in significant part upon the continued service of key scientific, technical, managerial and finance personnel, as well as our ability to attract and retain additional highly qualified personnel in these fields. We may not be able to attract and retain key employees when necessary, which would limit our operations and growth. In addition, if we are able to successfully develop and commercialize our products, we will need to hire additional scientific, technical, marketing, managerial and finance personnel. We face intense competition for qualified personnel in these areas, many of whom are often subject to competing employment offers.

 

WE ARE SIGNIFICANTLY INFLUENCED BY OUR DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND THEIR AFFILIATED ENTITIES.

 

Our directors, executive officers and entities affiliated with them beneficially owned an aggregate of approximately 29% of our outstanding Common Stock as of December 31, 2006. These stockholders, acting together, would be able to exert significant influence on substantially all matters requiring approval by our stockholders, including the election of directors and the approval of mergers and other business combination transactions.

THERE IS NO ACTIVE MARKET FOR OUR COMMON STOCK AND NONE MAY DEVELOP OR BE SUSTAINED

 

Our Common Stock is quoted on the Pink Sheets under the symbol "SPOM". The Pink Sheets is a centralized quotation service that collects and publishes market maker quotes in real time, primarily through its web site, http://www.pinksheets.com. Because our stock trades on the Pink Sheets, rather than on a national securities exchange or event the NASDAQ over-the counter Bulletin Board (OTC) market, you may find it difficult to either dispose of, or to obtain quotations as to the price of, our Common Stock.

 

There has only been very limited trading activity in our Common Stock. There can be no assurance that a more active trading market will commence in our securities either before or following any new business transaction. Further, in the event that an active trading market commences, there can be no assurance as to the level of any market price of our shares of common stock, whether any trading market will provide liquidity to investors, or whether any trading market will be sustained.

 

We can provide no assurance when, if ever, our board of directors, will take action to have our Common Stock quoted on the NASDAQ over-the-counter Bulletin Board (OTC) or, even, if the Board were to take such action, no assurance can be given that our Common Stock will in fact be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board market. Failure to develop or maintain an active trading market could negatively affect the price of our securities.

 

ADDITIONAL BURDENS IMPOSED UPON BROKER-DEALERS BY THE APPLICATION OF THE "PENNY STOCK" RULES TO OUR COMMON STOCK MAY LIMIT THE MARKET FOR OUR COMMON STOCK.

 

Broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in "penny stocks" are regulated by certain penny stock rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the Nasdaq system, provided that current prices and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities are provided by the exchange or system). If our Common Stock continues to be offered at a market price less than $5.00 per share, and does not qualify for any exemption from the penny stock regulations, our Common Stock will continue to be subject to these additional regulations relating to low-priced stocks.

 

The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. In addition, the penny stock rules generally require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock the broker-dealer make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction. These requirements have historically resulted in reducing the level of trading activity in securities that become subject to the penny stock rules.

 

The additional burdens imposed upon broker-dealers by these penny stock requirements may discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in the Common Stock, which could severely limit the market liquidity of our Common Stock and our shareholders' ability to sell our Common Stock in the secondary market.

 

OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS' RIGHT TO AUTHORIZE THE ISSUANCE OF ADDITIONAL SHARES OF PREFERRED STOCK COULD ADVERSELY IMPACT THE RIGHTS OF HOLDERS OF OUR COMMON STOCK.

 

Our board of directors currently has the right to designate and authorize the issuance of our preferred stock, in one or more series, with such voting, dividend and other rights as our directors may determine. The board of directors can designate new series of preferred stock without the approval of the holders of our Common Stock. The rights of holders of our Common Stock may be adversely affected by the rights of any holders of shares of preferred stock that may be issued in the future, including without limitation dilution of the equity ownership percentage of our holders of Common Stock and their voting power if we issue preferred stock with voting rights. Additionally, the issuance of preferred stock could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire a majority of our outstanding voting stock.

RISKS RELATED TO OPERATIONS IN ISRAEL

 

WE DEPEND ON A SINGLE FACILITY IN ISRAEL AND ARE SUSCEPTIBLE TO ANY EVENT THAT WOULD ADVERSELYAFFECT ITS CONDITION.

 

Most of our laboratory capacity and principal research and development and manufacturing facilities are located in the State of Israel. Fire, natural disaster or any other cause of material disruption in our operation in this location could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results. As discussed above, to remain competitive in the network communications industry, we must respond quickly to technological developments. Damage to our facility in Israel could cause serious delays in the development of new products and services and, therefore, could adversely affect our business. In addition, the particular risks relating to our location in Israel are described below.

 

THE TRANSFER AND USE OF SOME OF OUR TECHNOLOGY AND ITS PRODUCTION IS LIMITED BECAUSE OF THE RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT GRANTS WE RECEIVED FROM THE ISRAELI GOVERNMENT TO DEVELOP SUCH TECHNOLOGY. SUCH LIMITATIONS MAY RESTRICT OUR BUSINESS GROWTH AND PROFITABILITY.

 

Our research and development efforts associated with the development of oximetry products have been partially financed through grants from the Office of the Chief Scientist of the State of Israel (the "Chief Scientist"). We are subject to certain restrictions under the terms of the Chief Scientist grants. Specifically, the products developed with the funding provided by these grants may not be manufactured, nor may the technology which is embodied in our products be transferred outside of Israel without appropriate governmental approvals and/or fines. These restrictions do not apply to the sale or export from Israel of our products developed with this technology. These restrictions could limit or prevent our growth and profitability.

 

POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC CONDITIONS IN ISRAEL MAY LIMIT OUR ABILITY TO PRODUCE AND SELL OUR PRODUCTS. THIS COULD RESULT IN A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR OPERATIONS AND BUSINESS.

 

Our research and development and manufacturing facilities are located Israel,. Political, economic and security conditions in Israel directly influence us. Since the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, Israel and its Arab neighbors have engaged in a number of armed conflicts. A state of hostility, varying in degree and intensity, has led to security and economic problems for Israel. Major hostilities between Israel and its neighbors may hinder Israel's international trade and lead to economic downturn. This, in turn, could have a material adverse effect on our operations and business.

 

Since October 2000, there has been substantial deterioration in the relationship between Israel and the Palestinian Authority that has resulted in increased violence. The future effect of this deterioration and violence on the Israeli economy and our operations is unclear. Ongoing violence between Israel and the Palestinians as well as tension between Israel and the neighboring Syria and Lebanon may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial conditions or results of operations.

 

Generally, male adult citizens and permanent residents of Israel under the age of 51 are obligated to perform up to 36 days of military reserve duty annually. Additionally, these residents may be called to active duty at any time under emergency circumstances. The full impact on our workforce or business if some of our officers and employees are called upon to perform military reserve service is difficult to predict.

The selling stockholders are not obligated to exercise these warrants, and there can be no assurance that they will do so. If all of these warrants were exercised for cash, we would receive gross proceeds of approximately $2.5 million. This figure assumes that the warrants for 357,500 shares of Common Stock that we issued in connection with the offering of our debt securities in July 2006 would be exercised at a per share exercise price of $1.30. No assurance can be given that the per share exercise price of the warrants would not be less than $1.30 in accordance with the terms of such warrant. Additionally, we anticipate utilizing the proceeds of the warrants for 2,958,827 shares that we issued in connection with our private placement of our debt securities in April 2005 to repay the principal and accrued interest on these notes and, accordingly, the net amount from the assumed exercise of the warrants that would be available for working capital purposes may be significantly less than the gross proceeds of $2.5 million. See “ Description of the Agreements with the Selling Stockholders ” below for additional details relating to the above-referenced private placements. Any net proceeds we receive from the exercise of these warrants will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes.

AGREEMENTS WITH THE SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

 

THE FOLLOWING IS A SUMMARY OF CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF THE AGREEMENTS BETWEEN US AND CERTAIN OF THE SELLING STOCKHOLDERS RELATING TO THE PURCHASE BY THESE SELLING STOCKHOLDERS OF OUR SECURITIES. WE ARE REGISTERING THE RESALE OF THE SHARES OFFERED BY THIS PROSPECTUS IN ORDER TO SATISFY OUR OBLIGATIONS TO THE HOLDERS OF THESE CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES AND WARRANTS.

 

The 2005 Private Placement

Pursuant to Subscription Agreements entered into between April and December 2005 (the "Subscription Agreement") between us and certain accredited institutional and individual investors, we issued units of our securities, with each unit comprised of (i) our 18 month 6% promissory note (collectively, the "April 2005 Notes") and (ii) three year warrants to purchase up to such number of shares of our Common Stock as are determined by dividing the principal amount of the Note purchased by such investor by $ 0.85 (collectively the "April 2005 Warrants"). In December 2005, we completed the private placement and raised the maximum gross proceeds of $1,544,000.

In September 2006, we offered to the holders of the April 2005 Notes to revise certain of the terms of the original offering in order to facilitate an extension to the scheduled maturity date of such notes, (hereinafter the "Amendment"). Pursuant to the Amendment, the (a) maturity date of the April 2005 Notes was extended through March 31, 2008; (b) the exercise period of the April 2005 Warrants was extended through September 30, 2010 and the per share exercise price was adjusted to $0.60 and (c) the interest rate on the amounts outstanding under the April 2005 Notes was increased to 8% per annum, effective July 12, 2006. The Amendment also provides that if we subsequently issue shares of our Common Stock at an effective per share exercise price less than that of the adjusted per share exercise price of the April 2005 Warrants during the adjusted exercise period, then the exercise price of the April 2005 Warrants is to be reduced to such lower exercise price; provided, that, this protection will not apply to certain of our equity or debt issuances (i) from approved stock option plans to employees, directors and other service providers, (ii) upon exercise of options and warrants outstanding as of September 27, 2006 and (iii) to our consultants that an unaffiliated third party would deem to be commercially reasonable and fair. The Amendment became effective as of September 27, 2006.

Under the Amendment, at all times the subscriber has the right to convert all, or any portion of the accrued interest due on the April 2005 Note to Common Stock at the April 2005 Warrant exercise price.

In addition, the Amendment also provided that, subject to certain qualifications, our obligation to file a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, relating to the resale of our Common Stock underlying the April 2005 Warrants is extended to April 15, 2007. We are filing this registration statement in fulfillment of our obligation thereunder.

Under the terms of the April 2005 Notes, a holder may declare such note immediately due and payable upon the occurrence of any of the following events of default (each an “Event of Default”): (i) our failure to pay the principal, interest or any other sum when due, (ii) any material representation or warranty that we make in the Note or certificate furnished in connection therewith shall be false or misleading in any material respect, (iii) our breach of any material covenant or other term or condition of the Agreement or the Note in any material respect, if such breach continues for 5 business days after notice thereof from the holder, (iv) the assignment by us for the benefit of creditors or application for or consent to the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or such receiver or trustee shall otherwise be appointed, (v) ) our insolvency or liquidation or a bankruptcy event or (vi) the entry of a monetary judgment or similar process in excess of $200,000 if such judgment remains unvacated for 30 days.

Three holders of the April 2005 Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $105,000 did not sign the Amendment and one such holder was repaid $50,000 plus accrued interest upon maturity of their April 2005 Note. Accordingly, the per share exercise price of the April 2005 Warrants held by these persons was not modified to $0.60 and remained at $0.85, and the exercise period of such warrant was not extended by two years.

 

In total, we are registering the resale of 2,958,827 shares of our Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the April 2005 Warrants and upon conversion of the interest due on the April 2005 Notes pursuant to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.

 

The description above is qualified in its entirety by reference to the forms of Subscription Agreement, the April 2005 Note and the April 2005 Warrant attached to the Current Report on Form 8-K that we filed on April 27, 2005 and the form of Amendment attached as an Exhibit to our quarterly report on Form 10-QSB for the three months ended September 30, 2006. We urge you to read these documents carefully for more details regarding the provisions we describe below and for other provisions that may be important to you.

The 2006 Private Placement

Pursuant to Subscription Agreements entered into between July and October 2006 (the "2006 Subscription Agreement") between us and certain accredited institutional and individual investors, we issued units of our securities, with each unit comprised of (i) an 8% promissory note (collectively, the “July 2006 Notes”) that becomes due 12 months following issuance and (ii) warrants as described below (collectively, the “July 2006 Warrants”). In October 2006, we raised $550,000 in aggregate gross proceeds from this offering, which represents the maximum amount that could be raised under this offering.

The principal and accrued interest on the July 2006 Notes is scheduled to be paid in one balloon payment at the end of the twelve month period.

Each purchaser of the July 2006 Notes received warrants, exercisable over a period of two years form the date of issuance, to purchase 16,250 shares of our Common Stock for each $25,000 of principal loaned, at a per share exercise price equal to the lower of $1.50 or 35% less than the offering price at an initial public offering of our Common Stock during the warrant exercise period.

 

In the 2006 Subscription Agreements, we undertook to register the shares issuable upon the exercise of the July 2006 Warrants by April 18, 2007. We are registering 357,500 shares of our Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the July 2006 Warrants.

 

The description above is qualified in its entirety by reference to the forms of 2006 Subscription Agreement, the July 2006 Notes and the July 2006 Warrants attached to the Quarterly Report on 10-QSB for the three months ended September 30, 2006 that we filed on November 14, 2006. We urge you to read these documents carefully for more details regarding the provisions we describe below and for other provisions that may be important to you.

 

Holders of the Piggy Back Rights

 

We are also registering 948,949 shares of our Common Stock as well as an additional ,320,833 shares of our Common Stock issuable upon exercise of warrants held by persons with piggy back rights. Below is a summary of the terms of these warrants.

 

In January 2005 (prior to the Acquisition Transaction), SPO Ltd. issued to each of 10 investors its convertible promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of $300,000 (the “SPO 2005 Promissory Notes”). These notes, which were amended in July 2005 and December 2005, bore interest at an annual rate of 8%, and were payable on September 30, 2006. Pursuant to the amendment in December 2005, the Company assumed the SPO 2005 Promissory Notes. At the election of the holder, the notes are convertible into the Company’s Common Stock at a per share price equal to the lesser of (i) 60% of the per share purchase price of any Company security subsequently sold by the Company (excluding certain shares issued upon exercise of securities outstanding on date of last amendment or subsequently issued to consultants) and (ii) $0.705. In September 2006 the holders of the SPO 2005 Promissory Notes converted all principal and interest accrued under the notes at a per share conversion price of $0.36 and, in respect thereof, a total of 948,949 shares of our Common Stock were issued to them.

 

In connection with the Acquisition Transaction, certain warrants issued by SPO Ltd. prior to the Acquisition transaction to a total of three persons in consideration of services rendered were transferred to us and, pursuant to such transfer, we are registering the resale of 83,333 shares issuable upon such warrants. As transferred to us, these warrants were exercisable for three years from the closing of a single transaction in which we raise at least $2 million in gross proceeds from the sale of our equity securities, at a per share exercise price equal to 40% less than the per share price in such transaction. In September 2006 the warrants were amended and pursuant thereto the exercise period was extended to August 31, 2009 and the exercise price was changed to the lesser of 60% of any new issuance from the date of the original warrant or $0.705 per share. As of the date of this Registration Statement the per share exercise price is $0.36, subject to adjustment as provided above. The description above is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of warrant attached as Exhibit 4.5 to this Registration Statement.

 

In connection with the Acquisition Transaction and as consideration for a loan in the principal amount of $100,000 advanced to SPO Ltd., we issued to the lender warrants for 25,000 shares of our Common Stock exercisable through August 31, 2008 at a per share exercise price of $0.75. The description above is qualified in its entirety by reference to the warrant attached as Exhibit 4.6 to this Registration Statement.

 

In connection with the Acquisition transaction and as consideration for a loan in the principal amount of $100,000 advanced to SPO Ltd., we issued to the lender warrants for 15,000 shares of our Common Stock exercisable through August 31, 2008 at a per share exercise price of $0.75. The description above is qualified in its entirety by reference to the warrant attached as Exhibit 4.7 to this Registration Statement.

 

In connection with a credit line agreement for up to $150,000, in February 2006 we issued to the provider of the credit line warrants for 60,000 shares of Common Stock exercisable through January 31, 2009 at a per share exercise price of $0.85. The description above is qualified in its entirety by reference to the warrant attached as Exhibit 4.8 to this Registration Statement.

In April 2006, we issued to two members of our advisory board warrants for a total of 30,000 shares of our Common Stock exercisable through November 14, 2009 at a per share exercise price of $0.60. The description above is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of warrant attached as Exhibit 4.9 to this Registration Statement.

 

In September 2005 we issued to three persons warrants for an aggregate of 40,588 shares of our Common Stock which were exercisable through September 28, 2008 at a per share exercise price of $0.85. These warrants were issued in consideration of services rendered in connection with the placement of the SPO 2005 Promissory Notes. In September 2006, in connection with the conversion of the SPO 2005 Promissory Notes, we issued replacement warrants for 57,500 shares of our Common Stock exercisable through September 26, 2010 at a per share exercise price of $0.60. The description above is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of warrant attached as Exhibit 4.10 to this Registration Statement.

 

Finally, on March 27, 2007 we and Innopex Limited entered into a Line of Credit Facility pursuant to which we can borrow up to maximum amount of $200,000, which can be drawn on demand at the discretion of the Company. The facility continues in effect until January 28, 2008. Amounts outstanding accrue interest at a per annum rate of 9% and accrued interest is payable on a quarterly basis, All amounts borrowed and accrued and unpaid interest need to be repaid by January 28, 2009. In consideration of the line of credit facility, we issued to the investor a warrant for 50,000 shares of our Common Stock, exercisable through March 27, 2010 at a per share exercise price of $1.50, of which warrants for 20,000 shares is exercisable immediately and the warrants for the remaining 30,000 shares exercisable only following (and subject to) our first draw-down under the facility. As of April 13, 2007, we have not drawn down any amounts under the line of credit facility. The description above is qualified in its entirety by reference to the warrant attached as Exhibit 4.11 and the Line of Credit Facility attached as Exhibit 10.12 to this Registration Statement.

DIVIDEND POLICY

 

We have paid no dividends on our Common Stock and do not expect to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future with respect to the Common Stock. It is the present policy of our board of directors to retain all earnings to provide funds for our growth. The declaration and payment of dividends in the future will be determined by our Board of Directors based upon our earnings, financial condition, capital requirements and such other factors as our board may deem relevant. We are not under any contractual restriction as to our present or future ability to pay dividends.

 

MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

Our Common Stock is quoted on the Pink Sheets LLC's Electronic Inter-dealer Quotation and Trading System (the "Pink Sheets") under ticker symbol "SPOM". Trading of our Common Stock on the Pink Sheets has been sporadic and limited. There can be no assurance that an established trading market will develop, that the current market will be maintained or that a liquid market for our Common Stock will be available in the future. Prior to May 2005, although our Common Stock was quoted on the Pink Sheets under the symbol "UNDI", there was no active trading market for the Common Stock. Investors should not rely on historical stock price performance as an indication of future price performance.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

COMPARISON OF THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2006 (the “2006 Period”) AND THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2005 (the “2005 Period”)

 

REVENUES. Revenues for the 2006 Period were $3,714,000, an increase of 103% over revenues of $1,825,000 for the 2005 Period. Revenues were derived primarily from sales of our PulseOX 5500 TM designed for the medical and homecare markets.

 

COSTS OF REVENUES. Costs of revenues for the 2006 Period were $1,809,000 compared to $843,000 for 2005 Period. Costs of revenues include all costs related to manufacturing products and services and consist primarily of direct material costs, shipping and salaries and related expenses for personnel. Included in cost of revenues were non cash compensation benefits of $13,000 and $4,000 in respect of 2006 and 2005 respectively.

 

12

---

 

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES. Research and development expenses consist primarily of expenses incurred in the design, development and testing of our products. These expenses consist primarily of salaries and related expenses for personnel, contract design and testing services, supplies used and consulting and license fees paid to third parties and are net of any government grants and development fees charged to third parties. Research and development expenses for the 2006 Period were $972,000 compared to $584,000 for the 2005 Period. The increase in research and development expenses for the 2006 Period as compared to 2005 Period is primarily attributable to the increase in employee and related compensation costs. Included in research and development expenses were non cash compensation benefits of $176,000 and $66,000 in respect of 2006 and 2005.

 

SELLING AND MARKETING EXPENSES. Selling and marketing expenses consist primarily of costs relating to compensation attributable to employees engaged in sales and marketing activities, promotion, sales support, travel and related expenses. Selling and marketing expenses for the 2006 Period and 2005 Period were $671,000 and $786,000, respectively. The decrease in sales and marketing during the 2006 Period is primarily attributable to the decrease of non cash compensation benefits to consultants and employees which amounted to $99,000 and $349,000 for the 2006 Period and 2005 Period, respectively, offset by the increase of employees engaged in sales and marketing activities and related compensation .

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

At December 31, 2006, we had cash and cash equivalents of $836,000 compared to $493,000 at December 31, 2005. The increase in available cash resources is primarily attributable to the funds raised from the private placement of our securities discussed below.

 

We generated negative cash flow from operating activities of approximately $443,000 during the 2006 Period compared to $1,209,000 for the 2005 Period.

 

In December 2005 we completed the private placement to certain accredited investors that we commenced in April 2005 for the issuance of up to $1,544,000 of units of our securities, with each unit comprised of (i) our 18 month 6% promissory note (collectively, the "April 2005 Notes") and (ii) three year warrants to purchase up to such number of shares of our Common Stock as are determined by the principal amount of the Note purchased by such investor divided by $ 0.85 (collectively the "April 2005 Warrants"). In September 2006, we offered to the holders of the April 2005 Notes to revise certain of the terms of the original offering in order to facilitate an extension to the scheduled maturity date of the Note, (hereinafter the "Amendment"). The Amendment provides that (a) the maturity date of the April 2005 Notes is to be extended by one year from the original maturity date on the original note, (b) the exercise period of the April 2005 Warrants is to be extended from three to five years and the per share exercise price was adjusted to $0.60 and (c) the interest rate on the amounts outstanding under the April 2005 Notes was increased to 8% per annum, effective July 12, 2006. The Amendment also provides that if we subsequently issue shares of our Common Stock at an effective per share exercise price less than that of the adjusted per share exercise price of the April 2005 Warrants during the adjusted exercise period, then the exercise price thereof is to be reduced to such lower exercise price; provided, that, this protection will not apply to certain of our equity or debt issuances (i) from approved stock option plans to employees, directors and other service providers, (ii) upon exercise of options and warrants outstanding as of September 27, 2006 and (iii) to our consultants that an unaffiliated third party would deem to be commercially reasonable and fair. In addition, the Amendment also provides that, subject to certain qualifications, our obligation to file a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, relating to the resale of our Common Stock underlying the April 2005 Warrants is extended to April 15, 2007. The Amendment became effective as of September 30, 2006. The Amendment resulted in a one time non-cash finance expense in the amount of approximately $2,500,000 being recognized in 2006. As of March 19, 2007, holders of Notes in the principal amount $1,439,000 have signed the Amendment and the holder of a note in the principal amount of $50,000 which matured on November 30, 2006 has requested repayment of principle and accrued interest. The Company is currently in contact with the remaining note holders of $55,000 of the April 2005 Notes with respect to obtaining their formal execution of the Amendment.

 

Our recent financings in 2006 are discussed below.

 

On February 1, 2006 we borrowed the principal amount of $150,000. This loan bears interest at an annual rate of prime plus 4% and is repayable in four equal installments every three calendar months through January 31, 2007. We issued to the holder of this indebtedness a three year warrant to purchase up to 60,000 shares of Common Stock at a per share exercise price of $0.85. As of December 31, 2006, we repaid $119,000 representing principal and accrued interest then due. On January 31, 2007 the final installment of $48,000 including accrued interest was repaid.

In January 2006 we and an institutional investor entered into an agreement pursuant to which we agreed to sell to such investor shares of our Common Stock at $0.70 per share for aggregate gross proceeds of $600,000. The private placement was completed in June 2006.

 

Employees

 

As of April 12, 2007, we employed 22 full-time employees, of which four work out of our corporate offices in California and 18 out of facilities in Israel. None of these employees is subject to collective bargaining agreements.

Competition

 

We believe that hospitals and other medical institutions choose among competing products on the basis of product performance, features, price and service. In general, we believe that price has become an important factor in hospital purchasing decisions because of pressure to cut costs. These pressures on hospitals result from federal and state regulations that limit reimbursement for services provided to Medicare and Medicaid patients. There are also cost containment pressures on healthcare systems outside the U.S.A., particularly in certain European countries.

 

There are number companies, some of which are substantially larger than we are and with significantly more resources, are engaged in manufacturing competing products. Our competition is primarily in the traditional medical market. Our competitors include Nellcor, a unit of the Tyco Healthcare division of Tyco International Ltd; Nonin Medical Inc. of Plymouth, Minnesota, a privately owned company; and Smiths Medical PM Inc. of Waukesha, WI, which is the designer, manufacturer, and distributor of the BCI(R) brand of patient monitoring equipment which competes with the SPO PulseOx 5500TM units.

 

Governmental Regulations

 

The manufacture and sale of our products are subject to extensive regulation by numerous governmental authorities, principally by the FDA and corresponding foreign agencies. The FDA administers the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder. Our PulseOx 5500TM and PulseOx 7500TM are sold in the United States and are subject to the FDA's standards and procedures for the manufacture of medical devices and our facilities are subject to inspection by the FDA for compliance with such standards and procedures.

18

---

 

The FDA classifies each medical device into one of three classes depending on the degree of risk associated with the device and the extent of control needed to ensure safety and effectiveness. The Company's PulseOx 5500TM and the PulseOx 7500TM have been classified by the FDA as Class II device and has secured a 510(k) pre-market notification clearance before being introduced into the United States market. For additional products, the process of obtaining 510(k) clearance typically takes several months and may involve the submission of limited clinical data supporting assertions that the product is substantially equivalent to an already approved device or to a device that was on the market before the enactment of the Medical Device Amendments of 1976.

 

Every company that manufactures or assembles medical devices to be sold in the United States is required to register with the FDA and adhere to certain "good manufacturing practices" in accordance with the FDA's Quality System Regulation which regulates the manufacture of medical devices, prescribes record keeping procedures and provides for the routine inspection of facilities for compliance with such regulations. The FDA also has broad regulatory powers in the areas of clinical testing, marketing and advertising of medical devices.

 

Medical device manufacturers are routinely subject to periodic inspections by the FDA. If the FDA believes that a company may not be operating in compliance with applicable laws and regulations, it can:

 

·

place the company under observation and re-inspect the facilities; o issue a warning letter apprising of violating conduct;

 

·

detain or seize products;

 

·

mandate a recall;

 

·

enjoin future violations; and

 

·

assess civil and criminal penalties against the company, its officers or its employees.

 

We are also subject to regulation in each of the foreign countries in which we sell our products. Many of the regulations applicable to our products in such countries are similar to those of the FDA. The national health or social security organizations of certain countries require our products to be qualified before they can be marketed in those countries.

Committees of the Board of Directors

Our Board of Directors operates with the assistance of the Audit Committee and the Compensation Committee. Due to the small size of our Board, we do not presently maintain a formal nominating committee. The entire Board participates in the process of nominating candidates for the Board of Directors.

The function of the Audit Committee is to (i) make recommendations to the full Board of Directors with respect to appointment of our independent public accountants, and (ii) meet periodically with our independent public accountants to review the general scope of audit coverage, including consideration of internal accounting controls and financial reporting.

The Board of Directors has determined that Pauline Dorfman is an "Audit Committee Financial Expert" for purposes of the SEC's rules. The Board believes that Ms. Dorfman meets the independence criteria set out in Rule 4200(a)(14) of the Marketplace Rules of the National Association of Securities Dealers and the rules and other requirements of the SEC.

The Compensation Committee sets compensation policy and administers our cash and equity incentive programs for the purpose of attracting and retaining skilled executives who will promote the Company’s business goals and build shareholder value. The committee is also responsible for reviewing and making recommendations to the Board regarding all forms of compensation to be provided to the Company’s named executive officers, including stock compensation and bonuses.

Board of Directors; Appointment of Officers

All directors are elected by a plurality vote at the annual meeting of the shareholders, and shall hold office until his successor is duly elected and qualified. Any vacancy occurring in the Board of Directors may be filled by the shareholders, the Board of Directors, or if the Directors remaining in office constitute less than a quorum of the Board of Directors, they may fill the vacancy by the affirmative vote of a majority of the Directors remaining in office. A director elected to fill a vacancy is elected for the unexpired term of his predecessor in office. Any directorship filled by reason of an increase in the number of directors shall expire at the next shareholders' meeting in which directors are elected, unless the vacancy is filled by the shareholders, in which case the term shall expire on the later of (i) the next meeting of the shareholders or (ii) the term designated for the director at the time of creation of the position being filled.

 

Our executive officers are appointed by our board of directors. Each officer shall hold office until the earlier of: his death; resignation or removal from office; or the appointment and qualification of his successor.

 

CODE OF ETHICS

 

We have adopted a code of ethics that applies to our chief executive officer, president, chief financial officer, controller and others performing similar executive and financial functions at the Company. A copy of our policy was attached as an exhibit to our annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2005. We intend to satisfy the disclosure requirement under Item 10 of Form 8-K regarding an amendment to, or waiver from, a provision of this code of ethics by posting such information on our Website, at the address and location specified above.

During our two most recent fiscal years and subsequent interim periods there were no disagreements with MKLLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of MKLLP, would have caused MKLLP to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in their report on the financial statements for such years.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Stockholders of

SPO MEDICAL INC.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of SPO MEDICAL INC. ("the Company") and its subsidiary as of December 31, 2006, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2006. 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 audit in accordance with the 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. 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 effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also 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. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above, present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company and its subsidiary as of December 31, 2006, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2006, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

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 has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a shareholders' deficiency that raises doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans concerning these matters are also described in Note 2. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

U.S. dollars in thousands (except share data)

 

NOTE 1  -  GENERAL

SPO Medical Inc. (hereinafter referred to as "SPO" or the "Company") was originally incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware in September 1981 under the name "Applied DNA Systems, Inc." On November 16, 1994, the Company changed its name to "Nu-Tech Bio-Med, Inc." On December 23, 1998, the Company changed its name to "United Diagnostic, Inc." Effective April 21, 2005, the Company acquired (the "Acquisition Transaction") 100% of the outstanding capital stock of SPO Medical Equipment Ltd., a company incorporated under the laws of the State of Israel ("SPO Ltd."), pursuant to a Capital Stock Exchange Agreement dated as of February 28, 2005 between the Company, SPO Ltd. and the shareholders of SPO Ltd., as amended and restated on April 21, 2005 (the "Exchange Agreement"). In exchange for the outstanding capital stock of SPO Ltd., the Company issued to the former shareholders of SPO Ltd. a total of 5,769,106 shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.01 per share ("Common Stock"), representing approximately 90% of the Common Stock then issued and outstanding after giving effect to the Acquisition Transaction. As a result of the Acquisition Transaction, SPO Ltd. became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company as of April 21, 2005 and, subsequent to the Acquisition Transaction, the Company changed its name to "SPO Medical Inc." Upon consummation of the Acquisition Transaction, the Company effectuated a forward subdivision of the Company's Common Stock issued and outstanding on a 2.65285:1 basis.  

The merger between UNDI and the SPO Ltd was accounted for as a reverse merger. As the shareholders of SPO Ltd received the largest ownership interest in the Company, SPO Ltd was determined to be the "accounting acquirer" in the reverse acquisition. As a result, the historical financial statements of the Company were replaced with the historical financial statements of the SPO Ltd.

The Company and its subsidiary, SPO Ltd., are collectively referred to as the "Company".

NOTE 2  -  Going Concern

As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company’s operations for the year ended December 31, 2006, resulted in a net loss of $4,963 and the Company’s balance sheet reflects a net stockholders’ deficit of $902. The Company’s ability to continue operating as a “going concern” is dependent on its ability to raise sufficient additional working capital. Management’s plans in this regard include raising additional cash from current and potential stockholders and increasing the marketing of its current and new products.

NOTE 3  -  Significant Accounting Policies

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States of America.

 

a.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, SPO Ltd. All material inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

b.

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 amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

c.

Financial statements in U.S. dollars

 

The reporting currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar ("dollar"). The dollar is the functional currency of the Company. Transactions and balances originally denominated in dollars are presented at their original amounts. Non-dollar transactions and balances are remeasured into dollars in accordance with the principles set forth in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 52 “Foreign Currency Translation” (“SFAS No. 52”). All exchange gains and losses from remeasurement of monetary balance sheet items resulting from transactions in non-dollar currencies are recorded in the statement of operations as they arise.

 

d.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments originally purchased with maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

e.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, as follows:

Computer and peripheral equipment		3 - 7 years
Office furniture and equipment		7 - 15 years

NOTE 3  -  Significant Accounting Policies  (Cont.)

In accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, management reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable based on estimated future undiscounted cash flows. If so indicated, an impairment loss would be recognized for the difference between the carrying amount of the asset and its fair value. As of December 31, 2006, no impairment losses have been recorded.

 

f.

Revenue recognition

The Company generates its revenues mainly from sales of its products. Revenues are recognized when delivery has occurred, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the vendor’s fee is fixed or determinable, no further obligation exists and collection is probable and there are no remaining significant obligations. Delivery is considered to have occurred upon shipment from the Company’s distribution centers of products to the reseller. All of the Company’s products that are sold through reseller agreements are non-exchangeable, non refundable and non returnable. Accordingly the resellers are considered end users.

 

g.

Inventory

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined as follows:

Raw materials, components and finished products - on the FIFO basis.

Work-in-process - on the basis of direct manufacturing costs.

 

h.

Research and development costs

 

Research and development costs, net of government grants and participation by others, are charged to expenses as incurred.

 

i.

Income taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS No. 109"). This statement prescribes the use of the liability method whereby deferred tax assets and liability account balances are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company provides a valuation allowance, if necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to their estimated realizable value.

j.

Fair value of financial instruments

 

The financial instruments of the Company consist mainly of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, trade receivables, accounts payable and short-term loans. In view of their nature, the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments is usually identical or close to their carrying value.

Additionally the financial instruments of the Company include long term loans which according to the Company’s management recorded close to their fair value.

 

k.

Concentrations of credit risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. The majority of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents are invested in US dollar deposits. Management believes that the financial institutions that hold the Company’s investments are financially sound, and accordingly, minimal credit risk exists with respect to these investments.

 

l.

Stock-based compensation

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (SFAS No. 123R) requiring that compensation cost relating to share-based payment awards made to employees and directors be recognized in the financial statements. The awards issued under Company's stock-based compensation plans are described in Note 13, “Stockholder's Equity". The cost for such awards is measured at the grant date based on the calculated fair value of the award. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods (generally the vesting period of the equity award) in the Company's Consolidated Statement of Operations. The following table summarizes the effects of stock-based compensation resulting from the application of SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004) included in Statement of Operations : 

			Year ended December 31,  2006
Cost of revenues		$	13
Research and development, net			176
Selling and marketing			99
General and administrative			122
		$	410

Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for share-based compensation cost using the intrinsic value method in accordance with Accounting Principles Board No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (APB No. 25), and related interpretations. The Company also followed disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, as amended by SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure”.

The company adopted SFAS No. 123R using the modified prospective method and, accordingly, the Consolidated Statement of Operations for prior years has not been restated to reflect the fair value method of recognizing compensation cost relating to stock options. Share-based compensation cost relating to stock options recognized in 2006 is based on the value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest. SFAS No. 123R requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant in order to estimate the portion of the award that will ultimately vest. Such portion is currently estimated at 0%, based on the Company's historical rates of forfeiture.

Compensation cost related to stock options is recognized in operating results (included in cost of revenues, research and development, selling and marketing, general and administrative expenses) under SFAS No. 123R in 2006 was $410 thousand. Compensation cost related to stock options recognized in our Consolidated Statement of Operations in 2006 includes (1) compensation cost for stock option awards granted prior to, but not yet vested as of December 31, 2005, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the pro forma provisions of SFAS No. 123 and (2) compensation cost for stock option awards granted subsequent to December 31, 2005, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123R.

The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share as if we had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 in the year prior to theadoption of FAS No. 123R:

		Year ended December 31,
		2005
Net Loss, as reported		$	2,038
Deduct: stock-based compensation determined under APB 25			193
Add: Stock-based compensation determined under SFAS123			599
Pro-forma net loss		$	2,444
Basic and fully diluted Loss per share as reported		$	0.11
Basic and fully diluted Loss per share proforma		$	0.14

Under SFAS 123, the fair market value of option grants was estimated on the date of grant using the “Black-Scholes option pricing” method with the following weighted-average assumptions: (1) expected life of 3.5 or 10 years (as per option's terms); (2) dividend yield of 0% (3) expected volatility of 100% and (4) risk-free interest rate of approximately 4.3%.

Effects of recently issued accounting standards

 

(1)

SFAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments—an Amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140” - In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments—an Amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140” ("SFAS 155") to simplify and make more consistent the accounting for certain financial instruments. Namely, SFAS 155 amends SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” to permit fair value remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument with an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation, provided that the whole instrument is accounted for on a fair value basis. SFAS 155 amends SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” to allow for a qualifying special-purpose entity to hold a derivative financial instrument that relates to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument.

Effects of recently issued accounting standards  (Cont.)

 

SFAS 155 applies to all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006, with earlier application permitted. Accordingly, the Company is to adopt SFAS 155 on January 1, 2007. The adoption of SFAS 155 is not expected to have any effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.  

(2)

FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” - In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN-48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109.” The interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity's financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” Specifically, FIN-48 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken.

     

The provisions of FIN-48 are effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Accordingly, the Company is to adopt FIN-48 on January 1, 2007. The adoption of FIN-48 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

 

(3)

SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” - In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" ("SFAS 157"), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies whenever other accounting standards require or permit assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. Accordingly, it does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances. Fair value under SFAS 157 is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. This Standard clarifies the principle that fair value should be based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability. In support of this principle, SFAS 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop those assumptions. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable data, for example, a reporting entity's own data. Under SFAS 157, fair value measurements would be separately disclosed by level within the fair value hierarchy. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Accordingly, the Company is to adopt SFAS 157 on January 1, 2008. The adoption of SFAS 157 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, "Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements When Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements" - In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, "Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements When Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements" ("SAB 108"), which provides guidance on the consideration of the effects of prior year misstatements in quantifying current year misstatements for the purpose of a materiality assessment two approaches are commonly used to evaluate the materiality of misstatements or errors in financial statements: the roll-over, also known as the current-period or income-statement approach, and the iron curtain, also known as the cumulative or balance-sheet approach. The roll-over approach quantifies a misstatement based on the amount of the error originating in the current-period income statement. This approach could allow balance sheet items to grow each year by immaterial amounts, until the cumulative error becomes material. The iron curtain approach quantifies a misstatement based on the effects of correcting the misstatement existing in the balance sheet at the end of the current period. This approach does not consider the income statement effects of correcting prior year misstatements in the current year to be errors.

     

The reliance on only one of these approaches, to the exclusion of the other, does not appropriately quantify all misstatements that could be material to financial-statement users. Accordingly, SAB 108 will require quantification of financial statement errors based on the effects of the error on each of an entity's financial statements and the related financial statement disclosures. This model is commonly referred to as a dual approach because it essentially requires quantification of errors under both the iron-curtain and the roll-over approaches.

 

SAB 108 is effective for annual financial statements covering the first fiscal year ending after November 15, 2006. From a transition perspective, SAB 108 permits companies to record the cumulative effect of initially applying the dual approach in the first year ending after November 15, 2006 by recording any necessary correcting adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities as of the beginning of that year with the offsetting adjustment recorded to the opening balance of retained earnings. The initial adoption of SAB 108 had no affect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (SFAS No. 159). SFAS No. 159 permits companies to choose to measure certain financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The standard requires that unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected be reported in earnings. SFAS No. 159 is effective for the company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2008, although earlier adoption is permitted. The company is currently evaluating the impact that SFAS No. 159 will have on its financial statements.

Basic and diluted net loss per share:

Basic and diluted net loss per share is presented in accordance with Statement of Accounting Financial Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" ("SFAS No. 128") for all periods presented. Basic and diluted net loss per share of Common stock was determined by dividing net loss attributable to Common stock holders by weighted average number of shares of Common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share of Common stock is the same as basic net loss per share of Common stock for all periods presented as the effect of the Company's potential additional shares of Common stock were anti-dilutive.

NOTE 6  -  Long -term and Short-term Loans

 

	a.	In December 2005 the Company completed a private placement to certain accredited investors that it commenced in April 2005 for the issuance of up to $1,544 of units of its securities, with each unit comprised of (i) the Company's 18 month 6% promissory note (collectively, the "April 2005 Notes") and (ii) three year warrants to purchase up to such number of shares of the Company's Common Stock as are determined by the principal amount of the Note purchased by such investor divided by $ 0.85 (collectively the "April 2005 Warrants").
		For financial reporting purposes, the Company recorded a discount of $949 to reflect the value of the warrants and is amortizing this amount to the date of maturity.   In September 2006, the Company offered to the holders of the April 2005 Notes to revise certain of the terms of the original offering in order to facilitate an extension to the scheduled maturity date of the Note, (hereinafter the "Amendment"). The Amendment provides that (a) the maturity date of the April 2005 Notes is to be extended by one year from the original maturity date on the original note, (b) the exercise period of the April 2005 Warrants is to be extended from three to five years and the per share exercise price was adjusted to $0.60 and (c) the interest rate on the amounts outstanding under the April 2005 Notes was increased to 8% per annum, effective July 12, 2006. The Amendment also provides that if the Company subsequently issues shares of its Common Stock at an effective per share exercise price less than that of the adjusted per share exercise price of the April 2005 Warrants during the adjusted exercise period, then the exercise price thereof is to be reduced to such lower exercise price; provided, that, this protection will not apply to certain Company equity or debt issuances (i) from approved stock option plans to employees, directors and other service providers, (ii) upon exercise of options and warrants outstanding as of September 27, 2006 and (iii) to Company consultants that an unaffiliated third party would deem to be commercially reasonable and fair.   In addition, the Amendment also provides that, subject to certain qualifications, the Company's obligation to file a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, relating to the resale of the Company's Common Stock underlying the April 2005 Warrants was extended to April 15, 2007.   As of the date of signing the financial statements holders of Notes in the principal amount $1,414 have signed the Amendment and the holder of a note in the principal amount of $50 received repayment of principle and accrued interest. The Company is currently in contact with the remaining note holders of $80 of the April 2005 Notes with respect to obtaining their formal execution of the Amendment.   The Amendment was effective as of September 30, 2006 and the accounting costs related to the Amendment has been fully recognized in the current accounting year. For financial reporting purposes, the Company recorded a one time non-cash finance expense in the amount of $2,534 in respect of the full amount of the April 2005 Note $1,494.

 

b.

On February 1, 2006 the Company borrowed the principal amount of $150. Interest accrued at an annual rate of prime plus 4% and was repayable in four equal installments every three calendar months (commencing June 30, 2006) through January 31, 2007. The Company issued to the holder of this indebtedness a three-year warrant to purchase up to 60,000 shares of Common Stock at a per share exercise price of $0.85. As of December 31, 2006, the Company repaid $119 representing principal and accrued interest then due. On January 31, 2007 the final installment of $48 including accrued interest was repaid.

NOTE 6  -  Long -term and Short-term Loans  (Cont.)

 

b.

In July 2006, the Company commenced a private placement of units of securities, with each unit comprised of (i) the Company's 8% month promissory note due 12 months from the date of issuance and (ii) warrants as described below. The principal and accrued interest are due in one balloon payment at the end of the twelve month period. Each purchaser of the note would receive warrants, exercisable over a period of two years from the date of issuance, to purchase16,250 shares of Common Stock for each $25 of principal loaned, at a per share exercise price equal to the lower of $1.50 or 35% less than any the offering price at an initial public offering of the Company's Common Stock during the warrant exercise period. The Company raised a gross amount of $550, which is the maximum amount that can be raised under the offering.   The Company recorded in the financial statements a discount of $463 to reflect the value of the warrants and is amortizing this amount through the date of the loans maturity.

NOTE 7  -  Repayment of Outstanding Debt

a.

On September 6, 2005 the Company negotiated with a lender a loan in the principal amount of $100 plus a one time arrangement fee of $10. This loan was repaid in January 2006. The Company also issued to the holder of the debt a three-year warrant to purchase up to 25,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a per share price of $0.75.   The Company recorded in the financial statements a discount of $14 to reflect the value of the warrants and amortized this amount through the date of the maturity of the loan.

 

b.

In August 2004 the Company negotiated with a lender the extension of the scheduled maturity date of indebtedness in the principal amount of $140 that was originally scheduled to mature on October 12, 2005. The maturity date of $100 of the original principal amount of this indebtedness was extended to March 31, 2006. In consideration of the extension of the principal amount of $100, the Company paid to the lender a one-time arrangement fee of $20 and issued to the holder of the debt a three-year warrant to purchase up to 15,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock at a per share price of $0.75. On March 31, 2006 the principal amount of $100 was repaid in full.

NOTE 8  -  Convertible Loans

In January 2005, the Company issued to 10 investors its convertible promissory notes (collectively the "Notes") in the aggregate principal amount of $300. The Notes became payable on September 30, 2006 and bore interest at an annual rate of 8%. Under the terms of the Notes at the election of the holder the Notes were convertible into the Company's Common Stock at a per share price equal to the lesser of (i) 60% of the per share purchase price of any Company security subsequently sold by the Company and (ii) $0.705. All the holders of these convertible promissory notes elected to convert the principal and the accrued interest. The conversion resulted in the issuance to these investors of a total of 948,949 shares of the Company's Common Stock.

In addition, the Company issued to three of the holders of these Notes, as compensation for their participation in raising the funds relating to the Notes, warrants, exercisable through April 21, 2008, to purchase such number of shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing $30 by the Exercise Price.

NOTE 13  -  Stockholder's Equity  (Cont.)

In April 2005, the Company adopted the 2005 Non-Employee Directors Stock Option Plan (the "2005 Directors Plan") providing for the issuance of up to 400,000 shares of Common Stock to non-employee directors. Under the 2005 Directors Plan, only non-qualified options may be issued and they will be exercisable for a period of six years from the date of grant.

 

The options granted vest over periods of up to five years from the date of the grant. Most of the options granted prior to 2005 expire after 10 years from the date of the grant while most of the options granted in 2005 expire after 6 years.

 

With respect to options granted through December 31, 2005 at exercise prices below the fair market value of the underlying shares at the date of grant, deferred compensation amortization totaling $187 was recorded and charged to earnings during 2005 in accordance with APB 25 and FIN 44.

 

With respect to compensation expenses recorded in 2006, relating to options granted through December 31 2006, the Company applied the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R) and SAB No. 107, using the prospective recognition method, which require employee share-based equity awards to be accounted for under the fair value method, and eliminates the ability to account for these instruments under the intrinsic value method prescribed by APB Opinion No. 25 and allowed under the original provisions of SFAS No. 123. SFAS No. 123(R) requires the use of an option pricing model for estimating fair value, which is then amortized to expense over the service periods.

 

During 2006 the Company recorded Stock-based compensation expenses in the amount of $1,152.

 

The following is a summary of the Company’s outstanding options and warrants:

a.

Measurement of taxable income under the Income Tax Law (Inflationary Adjustments), 1985:

The results for tax purposes of the Israeli subsidiary are measured in terms of earnings in NIS, after certain adjustments for increases in the Israeli Consumer Price Index ("CPI"). As explained in Note 3c, the functional currency is the U.S. dollar. The difference between the annual change in the Israeli CPI and in the NIS/dollar exchange rate causes a further difference between taxable income and the income before taxes presented in the financial statements. In accordance with paragraph 9(f) of SFAS No. 109, the Company has not provided deferred income taxes on the difference between the functional currency and the tax bases of assets and liabilities at the Israeli subsidiary.

b.

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.
