ITEM 1. BUSINESS

General

Imaging3, Inc. has developed a proprietary medical technology designed to produce 3D medical diagnostic images in real time.  In the future, healthcare workers using Imaging3 devices will potentially be able to instantly view 3D, high-resolution images of virtually any part of the human body.

History

We were founded as Imaging Services, Inc. on October 29, 1993 by Dean Janes.  We initially served as a low cost, third party service alternative for equipment made by Orthopedic Equipment Company Medical Systems (“OEC”).  OEC is the largest manufacturer of mobile surgical C-arms with over a 60% market share in the United States.  A C-arm is an integral component of a fluoroscopic imaging system used for various types of surgery.  Management believes that prior to our inception, no company existed solely focused on providing third party service for OEC equipment.

In early 1994, Imaging3 began offering upgrades for OEC C-arms.  Our most successful upgrade was a CCD (Charged Coupled Device) camera, which improved the image quality of older systems to be comparable with that of brand new products.  This offering became so successful that we integrated this upgrade with used OEC C-arms and built custom units for NASA, Harvard, University of California at Irvine, University of California at Davis, Baylor University, Baxter Healthcare, and other prestigious healthcare organizations.  Later that year, Imaging3 applied for and received United States Food and Drug Administration approval for this device, described as the NASA II CCD C-arm.

In mid 1995, Imaging3 purchased the assets of ProMedCo.  ProMedCo had an exclusive agreement with OEC to remanufacture OEC C-arms for OEC Medical Systems.  Though the purchase did not transfer the agreement, it eliminated one of our competitors and provided a substantial inventory of replacement parts.  Access to these replacement parts allowed us to increase immediately our production levels and created the opportunity to remanufacture OEC’s complete product line, thereby increasing the models we could offer our customers.  Also, this purchase allowed us to enter the lucrative parts sales business.

In 2000, we continued our expansion by purchasing a sales company in San Diego, California.  This asset purchase brought an extensive database with the contact information for over 43,000 physicians, hospitals, medical centers and surgery centers as well as a streamlined automated sales force.  Also, as part of this expansion, several key employees, most of whom were former employees of OEC, were hired to increase our service presence in Arizona, Washington, Nevada, Florida, and Hawaii with a national service presence as the ultimate goal.  In 2002, we closed our San Diego office and consolidated our operations in Burbank, California.

On February 19, 2002, a fire gutted our principal operating facility, causing an estimated $4.3 million in damage.  The 10,800-square-foot structure was subsequently rebuilt and we have reoccupied it.  In the interim, we leased temporary facilities.  The damage to the building and the loss of our equipment were partially covered by liability insurance.  Nevertheless, the fire disrupted our operations.

In order to better position us for our future direction away from service and toward providing proprietary medical imaging products, we changed our name from Imaging Services, Inc. to Imaging3, Inc. on August 20, 2002.

In April 2007, we completed building our first prototype medical diagnostic imaging device.  On November 25, 2009, we filed with the FDA a 510(k) application for approval of our medical diagnostic imaging device for sale in the United States.  On October 28, 2010, we received a letter from the FDA responding to our application by rejecting our position that our medical device is substantially equivalent to prior devices and therefore rejecting our 510(k) application to have our device approved for commercial sale and use as a Class II device.  We disagree with the FDA’s position and plan to re-file our application with additional information supporting our application for clearance.  Assuming that the FDA grants approval of our revised application, we intend to follow up and apply to sell the product in the European and then worldwide markets.
 

Business Operations

Imaging3 technology has the potential to contribute to the improvement of healthcare.  Our technology is designed to cause 3D images to be instantly constructed using high-resolution fluoroscopy.  These images can be used as real time references for any current or new medical procedures in which multiple frames of reference are required to perform medical procedures on or in the human body.  Management believes that Imaging3 technology has extraordinary market potential in an almost unlimited number of medical applications, including:

·  
Trauma Center.  Imaging3 technology would allow a surgeon to immediately view exactly where a bullet is lodged in a gunshot victim.  At any point during the procedure, the surgeon could continue to view 3D images in real-time.

·  
Cardiology.  Imaging3 technology could provide a 3D view of a heart and allow a cardiologist to record the heartbeat in real-time.  The entire heart would be visible, including veins that are wrapped around the “back” side.

·  
Pain Management.  Imaging3 technology could provide a 3D view of the spine, nerve endings, and injection points and help guide the needle for spinal procedures.  3D images in real-time could also be used to view disk compression.

·  
Neuro-vascular.  Imaging3 technology could provide a 3D view of the skull and brain to diagnose neuro-vascular diseases.  3D images in real-time could be used to view the rupture of vessels or arterial blockages diminishing blood flow to the brain.

·  
Orthopedic.  Imaging3 technology could provide a 3D view of bones and joints to help diagnose orthopedic conditions.  An orthopedic surgeon could view a 3D image in real-time to line up a screw with the hole in a hip pinning.

·  
Vascular.  Imaging3 technology could provide a 3D view of veins throughout the body.  After injecting dye, a 3D image in real-time could pinpoint clots and occlusions and help diagnose vascular diseases.

Multi-function Device

A diagnostic medical imaging device built with Imaging3 technology can perform several functions and can potentially replace or supplement a number of existing devices, resulting in considerable cost savings for hospitals and healthcare centers.  These functions include:

·  
Perform real-time, 3D medical imaging;
·  
Emulate a computerized tomography scanner (at a fraction of the capital cost); and
·  
Perform standard fluoroscopy.

Our management believes that this multi-function capability will be especially attractive in foreign markets, where the cost of a computed tomography (“CT”) scanner is beyond the means of most hospitals and healthcare centers.

Existing Base of Business to Launch a Proprietary Product

Imaging3 is an established company with revenues and an industry reputation.  While we began as a service provider, we quickly expanded to include equipment and parts sales, both new and renewed.  Management believes that Imaging3 is one of the largest remanufacturer of C-arms in the world.  We offer new, demonstration, remanufactured, refurbished, and pre-owned systems in all price ranges from every major manufacturer including OEC, General Electric, Imaging3, Inc., Philips, Siemens, FluoroScan, XiScan and Ziehm.  We supply full-size, compact and mini C-arms.
 

Management believes that Imaging3 is also the largest distributor of C-arm tables in the United States.  We offer new, demonstration, remanufactured, refurbished, and pre-owned C-arm tables in all price ranges from every major manufacturer.  We also supply pain management tables, surgery tables, urology tables, and vascular tables.  Imaging3’s management intends to use our base of operations and channels of distribution to launch our new medical imaging devices business, based on our breakthrough Imaging3 technology.

Business and Revenue Models

Our business strategy is straight-forward: (1) continue to build our base of C-arm remanufacturing and service business, (2) develop medical diagnostic imaging devices, based on our breakthrough Imaging3 technology for the $5 billion medical imaging market, (3) sell our new medical diagnostic imaging devices directly to healthcare providers, as well as through channel partners and distributors, and (4) license our breakthrough Imaging3 technology to other medical diagnostic imaging device manufacturers.

Our management believes that most of our future revenues will come from the sale of medical imaging devices, based on our Imaging3 technology.  Other revenues are expected to be derived from the licensing of our proprietary technology to other medical diagnostic imaging device manufacturers.  The smallest portion of our future revenue is projected to come from the sale and service of C-arms.

Proprietary Technology

Patent

On June 23, 2004, U.S. Patent No. 6,754,297 was granted in the name of Dean Janes, entitled Apparatus and Method for Three-Dimensional Real-Time Imaging System.  The rights to this patent have been assigned to us.

Abstract of the Patent Disclosure

A computing device in a three-dimensional imaging system utilizes a plurality of distance readings and reference readings from at least one subject sensor to determine a subject location and a subject volume and establish a base three-dimensional map of a subject.  A plurality of two-dimensional image exposures along with a plurality of associated reference locations are created by rotating an image source and an image receptor around an inner circumference of an imaging gantry.  The plurality of two-dimensional image exposures is digitized to create a plurality of digital two-dimensional image exposures.  The computing device receives the plurality of digital two-dimensional image exposures and the plurality of associated reference locations.  The overlaying, interpolating and pasting of the plurality of digital two-dimensional image exposures on the base three-dimensional map creates a base three-dimensional image exposure, which is displayed on a display device.

General Description

Real-time 3D medical diagnostic imaging will be accomplished by scanning the patient, either partially or completely in a 360-degree circumference under fluoroscopy (or other type of image exposure), utilizing a single or multiple x-ray source and image receptor.  The information acquired under fluoroscopy (or other type of image exposure) will be digitized at a frame rate of between 30 to 60 frames per second.  This information will be sent to a computer system to be incorporated into a three-dimensional image to be displayed on a computer monitor.  The image created can then be manipulated and/or rotated to view the scanned image of the patient’s anatomy in any direction or orientation desired by the user.  The user could then choose a specific area of the image to update.  Once an area is selected, the computer displaying the image would then “gang” or align the x-ray source(s) and image receptor(s) to begin updating scans of new images to be overlaid upon the existing three-dimensional model.  This process would then be updated and/or repeated as many times as necessary for the specific procedure to be completed.  At any time, a new reference area or scan could be selected or initiated.
 

The “O” Device

Part of our invention is based on an “O” device to create a circular gantry similar to that used with CT to scan a patient a full 360 degrees with fluoroscopic radiation.  This approach is expected to allow imaging of the patient from any frame of reference or angulation (current medical imaging devices are limited to 150 degrees to 360 degrees with mechanical orientation or manipulation). 3D imaging requires an “O” device to scan the patient in increments of 360 degrees to allow construction of a three-dimensional image.  By scanning the patient in 360 degrees and acquiring images at 30 to 60 frames per second, management believes a three-dimensional image can be constructed.

Imaging3 Technology Differs from Other Approaches

The “O” device approach is similar to that used in a CT scan.  The difference is CT is used to image a “slice” of the anatomy and not intended for real-time fluoroscopic imaging.  The slice is obtained by using a fulcrum reference point and rotating the X-ray source and image receptor in reference to that point.  This basic geometry creates a 2D image in any depth desired, in any region of the body.  The “O” device would use a similar fulcrum point to reference depth, but the scan would not create a slice but instead a real-time image captured at 30 to 60 frames per second in 360 degrees.  Further, management believes that the “O” device would be used for conventional fluoroscopic imaging with the advantage of positioning the X-ray source and receptor at any angulation desired.

Currently, 3D imaging is used only for reconstructive post processing reference images.  Magnetic resonance imaging (“MRI”), CT and ultrasound currently have this capability.  The 3D images are created by multiple scans of 2D images that require a long period of time to process into a three-dimensional image.  The image created is then used only for reference, not real-time manipulation in the body.  We anticipate that our 3D images will be constructed almost instantly and will be available to be used as real-time references whenever multiple frames of reference are required to perform medical procedures on or in the human body.

The Market

We compete in the medical diagnostic imaging market and this market has never been healthier than it is today.  This vitality is due primarily to continual technological improvements that lead to faster and better resolution imaging, greater patient safety, and the provision of these capabilities to a growing and aging population.  The result has been a vigorous competition to create the most cost-effective diagnostic imaging systems.

Diagnostic imaging is an evolving part of modern medicine and is now entering a new era of digital imaging.  The field has evolved from the early X-rays by Roentgen over 100 years ago to imaging of organs by CT and MRI that are 20 years old.  Medical imaging is used for diagnosis in the leading causes of death, heart attacks, strokes, and cancer.  What was once called the radiology department is now called the diagnostic imaging department because of the wealth of new technologies available beyond x-rays. A trauma victim’s internal injuries are imaged with a CT scanner.  Breast cancer, a leading cause of death in women, is detected with mammography and ultrasound.

According to a Freedonia Group study, the medical imaging equipment market in the U.S. will register gains faster than the projected growth in national health expenditures. Growth is stimulated by an increasing incidence of patient procedures involving diagnostic imaging, partly the result of an aging population and partly reflecting advances in noninvasive imaging technology.

Our management believes that opportunities exist not only for new companies in imaging products but also for software companies for image processing and Picture Archiving and Communication Systems networks.  Technological developments continue, which consistently result in new products.

Diagnostic imaging is an important part of medical diagnosis.  It ranges from a dentist’s X-ray to find tooth decay to angiograms done to aid a cardiologist in performing an angioplasty.  The aging baby boomer population will need the new imaging capabilities for cancer and heart disease detection.  The revolution in medical imaging is being fueled not only by new medical imaging technology, but also by advances in computer hardware and software.  New systems such as spiral CT or multi-slice CT would not be possible without today’s faster processors.  Better software algorithms for image analysis and compression make the process more accurate and efficient.  The growth of diagnostic imaging could be an important source of revenue for computer manufacturers and software companies specializing in diagnostic imaging.
 

Industry Overview

Diagnostic imaging services are noninvasive procedures that generate representations of the internal anatomy and convert them to film or digital media.  Diagnostic imaging systems facilitate the early diagnosis of diseases and disorders, often minimizing the cost and amount of care required and reducing the need for costly and invasive diagnostic procedures.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging

MRI involves the use of high-strength magnetic fields to produce computer-processed cross-sectional images of the body.  Due to its superior image quality, MRI is the preferred imaging technology for evaluating soft tissue and organs, including the brain, spinal cord and other internal anatomy.  With advances in MRI technology, MRI is increasingly being used for new applications such as imaging of the heart, chest and abdomen.  Conditions that can be detected by MRI include multiple sclerosis, tumors, strokes, infections, and injuries to the spine, joints, ligaments, and tendons.  Unlike x-rays and computed tomography, which are other diagnostic imaging technologies, MRI does not expose patients to potentially harmful radiation.

MRI technology was first patented in 1974, and MRI systems first became commercially available in 1983.  Since then, manufacturers have offered increasingly sophisticated MRI systems and related software to increase the speed of each scan and improve image quality.  Magnet strengths are measured in tesla, and MRI systems typically use magnets with strengths ranging from 0.2 to 1.5 tesla.  The 1.0 and 1.5 tesla strengths are generally considered optimal because they are strong enough to produce relatively fast scans but are not so strong as to create discomfort for most patients.  Manufacturers have worked to gradually enhance other components of the machines to make them more versatile.  Many of the hardware and software systems in recently manufactured machines are modular and can be upgraded for much lower costs than purchasing new systems.

The MRI industry has experienced growth as a result of:

·  
Recognition of MRI as a cost-effective, noninvasive diagnostic tool.
·  
Superior soft-tissue image quality of MRI versus that of other diagnostic imaging technologies.
·  
Wider physician acceptance and availability of MRI technology.
·  
Growth in the number of MRI applications.
·  
MRI’s safety when compared to other diagnostic imaging technologies, because it does not use potentially harmful radiation.
·  
Increased overall demand for healthcare services, including diagnostic services, for the aging population.

Positron Emission Tomography (“PET”)

PET is a nuclear medicine procedure that produces pictures of the body’s metabolic and biologic functions.  PET can provide earlier detection of certain cancers, coronary diseases or neurologic problems than other diagnostic imaging systems.  It is also useful for the monitoring of these conditions.

Computed Tomography

In CT imaging, a computer analyzes the information received from an x-ray beam to produce multiple cross-sectional images of a particular organ or area of the body. CT imaging is used to detect tumors and other conditions affecting bones and internal organs.
 

Other Services

Other diagnostic imaging technologies include x-ray, single photon emission computed tomography, and ultrasound.

Digital Imaging Technologies

New techniques for the digital capture, display, storage, and transmission of x-ray images are poised to revolutionize the diagnostic imaging market.  Although digital technologies and techniques have been in use in other diagnostic imaging areas (such as CT scans, MRI scans, and ultrasound), technical problems have kept x-ray technologies in the era of film.  However, new methods of digitally capturing x-ray images are under development and promise to revolutionize x-ray imaging.

The need to cut costs and improve services in healthcare delivery is driving the move to digital systems.  The requirement for hospitals to implement electronic access to medical images and other types of information is now widely accepted and regarded as inevitable.  The trend toward storing, distributing and viewing medical images in digital form is being fueled by both changes in the economic structure of the healthcare system and by rapidly evolving technologies.  In particular, the new economics of health care will mandate a shift from film-based radiology to the electronic delivery of digital images, while new technology promises the additional benefit of vastly improved diagnostic power.

Users of Diagnostic Imaging

MRI and other imaging services are typically provided in one of the following settings:

Hospitals and Clinics

Imaging systems are located in and owned and operated by a hospital or clinic.  These systems are primarily used for the patients of the hospital or clinic, and the hospital or clinic bills third-party payors, such as health insurers, Medicare or Medicaid.

Independent Imaging Centers

Imaging systems are located in permanent facilities not generally owned by hospitals or clinics.  These centers depend upon physician referrals for their patients and generally do not maintain dedicated, contractual relationships with hospitals or clinics.  In fact, these centers may compete with hospitals or clinics that have their own systems to provide Imaging3 to these patients.  Like hospitals and clinics, these centers bill third-party payors for their services.

Outsourced

Imaging systems, largely located in mobile trailers but also provided in fixed facilities, provide services to a hospital or clinic on a shared-service or full-time basis.  Generally, the hospital or clinic contracts with the imaging service provider to perform scans of its patients, and the imaging service provider is paid directly by that hospital or clinic instead of by a third-party payor.

Industry Challenges

In a recent report, U.S. Medical Imaging Industry Outlook, Frost & Sullivan identified several challenges facing the diagnostic imaging industry.  Low reimbursement rates have become a major challenge, not only for end users, but for manufacturers as well.  Imaging reimbursements for many procedures may be inadequate given the expense of the equipment and the expertise required to create and interpret results.
 

Lack of adequate compensation is a concern for all industry participants, as many healthcare centers are delaying or canceling purchases of high-priced items.  Until the financial rewards for imaging are increased substantially, and definitively, low reimbursement will be the foremost hurdle for manufacturers.
 
Competition

Competitive Landscape

The healthcare industry in general and the market for imaging products in particular is highly competitive.  We compete with a number of companies, many of which have substantially greater financial, marketing, and other resources than we have.  Our competitors include large companies such as General Electric, Philips, Siemens, Toshiba and Hitachi, which compete in most medical diagnostic imaging modalities, including x-ray imaging.

A study by Theta Reports, Diagnostic Imaging Equipment and Systems World Market, identifies the following 17 key players in the medical diagnostic imaging market:

Direct Competitors

At this time, we are not aware of any existing devices in the marketplace that provide 3D, real-time diagnostic medical imaging, with the exception of ultrasound.

Ultrasound is a real-time tomographic imaging modality.  Not only does it produce real-time tomograms of the position of reflecting surfaces (internal organs and structures), but it can also be used to produce real-time images of tissue and blood motion.  However, ultrasound is a low-resolution imaging modality that does not produce an image as precise and clear as fluoroscopy.  Our devices will rely instead on the use of fluoroscopy, a high-resolution imaging modality, to produce “live” x-ray images of living patients in 3D.
 

Marketing and Sales Plan

Marketing Strategy

Our marketing strategy is to create a favorable environment to sell our medical diagnostic imaging devices.  We intend to enhance, promote and support the fact that Imaging3 technology is the most complete and comprehensive medical diagnostic imaging solution available in the marketplace.

Product and Service Differentiation

According to our management, the differentiating attributes of Imaging3 technology include:

·  
The only 3D, real-time medical diagnostic imaging device in the market that will produce high resolution images;
·  
Reasonably priced;
·  
Easy-to-install;
·  
Vast array of features; and
·  
Highly reliable.

The Imaging3 medical device will be reasonably priced because it will cost considerably less than comparable MRI and CT Scan machines.  It will be easy to install because it is lighter and will be more mobile than the MRI and CT Scan machines.  It will have more features than MRI and CT Scan machines because it will provide 3D instant real time images and real time CT emulation, which the other machines currently do not provide.  Management believes that the Imaging3 medical device will be more reliable than competing MRI and CT Scan machines because it needs less radiation to provide its 3D images, and its assembled components are simpler, more efficient, and standard (i.e. “off-the-shelf”), rather than customized.

Value Proposition

Our value proposition is simple:  diagnostic imaging devices with Imaging3 technology allow healthcare providers to easily produce 3D, real-time, high resolution images at a reasonable cost.

Positioning

Management believes that Imaging3 can be positioned as offering the superior solution for producing medical diagnostic images.  Management believes that our unique advantage is that we can offer a diagnostic imaging solution that will allow healthcare providers to view real-time references for virtually any procedure.  We plan to reposition our competitors by demonstrating that their offerings are inadequate compared to our device because they:

·  
Do not provide 3D images;
·  
Do not provide images in real-time;
·  
Do not provide comparable high resolution images; and
·  
Are too costly.
 

Sales Strategy

After undertaking a marketing campaign, we intend to aggressively sell our medical diagnostic imaging devices in the United States.  International sales efforts will follow after achieving market penetration in the domestic marketplace.

Sales Margin Structure

Our management believes that the majority of our sales will be derived from direct sales to customers, with the balance of sales derived from dealers and manufacturer’s representatives.  As a result, the sales margin structure must be attractive to these independent organizations.

·  
Direct Sales - Full suggested list price;
·  
Dealers - 30% off suggested list price; and
·  
Manufacturer’s Representatives - 10% commission.

Target Market Segment

Our management has identified general medical and surgical hospitals in the United States as our primary target market segment for Imaging3 technology.  According to D&B/ iMarket, there are 12,041 general medical and surgical hospitals in the United States.

Distribution Channels

We plan to sell our Imaging3 medical diagnostic imaging devices through several channels of distribution, including:

Direct Sales to End Users

Our policy is to sell directly to end-users whenever possible.  Our management expects that direct sales will occur most often with larger customers.

Dealers and Manufacturers’ Representatives

We plan to supplement our own field sales force by entering into agreements with dealers and manufacturers’ representatives.  Because dealers and manufacturers’ representatives carry several product/service lines that are compatible with our products and services, Imaging3 plans to select dealers and manufacturers’ representatives carrying complementary and compatible products and services, as well as dealers and manufacturers’ representatives that sell dissimilar products and services yet are appropriate for their customers’ customer.

We have working relationships with a number of independent organizations that help distribute our current product line.  We expect to work with these independent organizations to help distribute diagnostic medical imaging devices built with Imaging3 technology.  These organizations have well-established relationships with mid-size to large size customers.  Many also provide specific vertical market applications.

Executive Sales

Because many of Imaging3’s large customers will tend to be top healthcare managers, it is important that our president and senior managers present our products to our large customers.
 

Field Sales Force

Management anticipates that the majority of our selling efforts to large accounts will be handled internally through our field sales force.  We have chosen to use a direct sales force because our large accounts require considerable customer education and post-sales support directly from us.  Management believes that our price points, pricing structure and profits are such that our cost of sales warrants a “person-to-person” selling strategy.

Employees

We currently employ 12 full-time individuals, all of whom are working at our leased offices at 3200 W. Valhalla Drive, Burbank, California 91505.  Seven of those 12 full-time employees are employed in administrative, marketing, and sales positions, and the remaining five are technical employees employed in research, development, and production positions.  We project that during the next 12 months, our workforce is likely to increase.

To support our need for technical staffing, we have established relationships with technical staffing organizations that continuously offer highly qualified personnel to meet our needs, both locally and from out of the area.

Intellectual Property Matters

Our policy is to have all of our employees execute agreements that impose nondisclosure obligations on the employee and in which the employee has assigned to us (to the extent permitted by California law) all copyrights and other inventions created by the employee during employment with us.  The rights underlying the application for the patent of the Imaging3 technology have been assigned to us.  We have in place a trade secret protection policy that our management believes to be adequate to protect our intellectual property and trade secrets.

Government Regulatory Approval Process

All of our products are classified as Class II (Medium Risk) devices by the FDA and clinical studies with our products will be considered to be Non-Significant Risk Studies, except that our 501(k) application with the FDA for our proprietary medical imaging device has not yet been approved as a Class II device.  Imaging3’s business is governed by the FDA and all products typically require 510(k) market clearance before they can be put in commercial distribution.  We are also regulated by the FDA’s Quality Systems Regulation, which is similar to the ISO9000 and the European EN46000 quality control regulations. All of our products currently in production or manufactured by other vendors are approved for marketing in the United States under the FDA’s 510(k) regulations.

A 510(k) is a pre-marketing submission made to the FDA to demonstrate that the device to be marketed is as safe and effective, that is, substantially equivalent, to a legally marketed device that is not subject to pre-market approval.  Applicants must compare their 510(k) device to one or more similar devices currently on the U.S. market and make and support their substantial equivalency claims.  A legally marketed device is a device that was legally marketed prior to May 28, 1976 (pre-amendments device), or a device which has been reclassified from Class III to Class II or I, a device which has been found to be substantially equivalent to such a device through the 510(k) process, or one established through Evaluation of Automatic Class III Definition.  The legally marketed device(s) to which equivalence is drawn is known as the “predicate” device(s).

Applicants must submit descriptive data and when necessary, performance data to establish that their device is substantially equivalent to a predicate device.  The data in a 510(k) is to show comparability, that is, substantially equivalent of a new device to a predicate device.
 
The FDA does not offer an opinion or determination of what submission is required.  The FDA does provide a database of devices, classifications and Regulation numbers.  In our research of this database we determined several Class II devices meet our criteria for submission.  These devices are listed in the table below.

This is a broad range of devices with which to compare our device functionality.  The FDA requires the manufacturer to submit an application, whether it is a 510(k) or pre-market approval submission. Upon receipt of the submission, the FDA will respond within 30 to 45 days with their determination of acceptance of the submission, questions and/or comments to the submission or requests for more information.

All of our current used rebuilt products are Class II devices, FDA approved through OEM for marketing.  Once approved, the FDA will not require the manufacturer to resubmit an application or change the classification. They may, however, request further information about the product(s), manufacturer and GMP requirements.  The devices currently sold by us are not manufactured by us.  OEC Medical Systems is the original device manufacturer and responsible for the FDA submission of their original device(s).  Imaging3 remanufactures OEC Medical Systems devices, thus we are not required to submit any FDA submission for these devices.  In some instances, we have performed modifications to these devices to improve the devices functionality, and in these instances Imaging3 has submitted 510(k) applications.  These modifications are to existing devices with existing classifications listed in the FDA database and cannot be reclassified.  The FDA database listing for current products is listed below:

As to our new product and its potential for classification, the FDA requires us, as the manufacturer, to submit an application in whichever classification we choose in the submission form we choose, meaning 510(k) or pre-market approval application.  The FDA reviews the submission and determines whether the application is appropriately filed and in the correct submission format.  The criteria they use for determination on a 510(k) is substantially equivalent, which is a comparative analysis of the manufacturer’s device in the submission with existing devices already approved by the FDA.  This is the purpose of the FDA’s Device Classification Database, giving manufacturer’s products with approved submissions and categories of devices to compare new device submissions.  A new type of device may not be found in the product classification database.  If the device is a high risk device (supports or sustains human life, is of substantial importance in preventing impairment of human health, or presents a potential, unreasonable risk of illness or injury) and has been found to be not substantially equivalent to a Class I, II, or III (Class III requiring 510(k)), then a pre-market approval application will be required.

If the FDA determines the new device must be classified as a Class III device, the FDA may still allow the device submission to be a 510(k) submission.  Class III devices, which are equivalent to devices legally marketed before May 28, 1976 may be marketed through the pre-market notification (510(k)) process until the FDA has published a requirement for manufacturers of that generic type of device to submit pre-market approval data.

Class III devices are usually those that support or sustain human life, are of substantial importance in preventing impairment of human health, or which present a potential, unreasonable risk of illness or injury. Examples of Class III devices which require a pre-market approval include replacement heart valves, silicone gel-filled breast implants, and implanted cerebella stimulators.

Our new product, the “Real-time 3D Imaging Device” is expected to be submitted as Product Code “IZG,” Device Class II, “System, X-ray, Photofluorographic,” Regulation Number 892.1730, since this is the closest device description.  The FDA may at its own choosing and determination wish to reclassify this device as a Class III, which we believe is unlikely, since the majority of our device functions are similar to existing products currently being marketed and as classified above.

If the FDA determines to classify this device as a Class III device, then a pre-market approval application must be filed.  The pre-market approval application is the most stringent type of device marketing application required by the FDA.  The applicant must receive FDA approval of its pre-market approval application prior to marketing the device.  Pre-market approval is based on a determination by the FDA that the pre-market approval contains sufficient valid scientific evidence to assure that the device is safe and effective for its intended use(s).  An approved pre-market approval application is, in effect, a private license granting the applicant (or owner) permission to market the device. The pre-market approval owner, however, can authorize use of its data by another.

The pre-market approval applicant is usually the person who owns the rights, or otherwise has authorized access, to the data and other information to be submitted in support of FDA approval.  This person may be an individual, partnership, corporation, association, scientific or academic establishment, government agency or organizational unit, or other legal entity.  The applicant is often the inventor/developer and ultimately the manufacturer.
 

FDA regulations provide 180 days to review the pre-market approval application and make a determination.  In reality, the review time is normally longer.  Before approving or denying a pre-market approval application, the appropriate FDA advisory committee may review the pre-market approval application at a public meeting and provide the FDA with the committee’s recommendation on whether or not the FDA should approve the submission. After the FDA notifies the applicant that the pre-market approval application has been approved or denied, a notice is published on the Internet (1) announcing the data on which the decision is based, and (2) providing interested persons an opportunity to petition the FDA within 30 days for reconsideration of the decision.

A pre-market approval application is a scientific, regulatory documentation to the FDA to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of the Class III device.  There are administrative elements of a pre-market approval application, but good science and scientific writing is a key to the approval of a pre-market approval application.  If a pre-market approval application lacks elements listed in the administrative checklist, the FDA will refuse to accept a pre-market approval application and will not proceed with the in-depth review of scientific and clinical data.  If a pre-market approval application lacks valid clinical information and scientific analysis based on sound scientific reasoning, it will delay the FDA’s review and approval.  Pre-market approval applications that are incomplete, inaccurate, inconsistent, omit critical information, and are poorly organized have resulted in delays in consideration.

Three categories of the pre-market approval application are very important:

Technical Sections. The technical sections containing data and information should allow the FDA to determine whether to approve or disapprove the application.  These sections are usually divided into non-clinical laboratory studies and clinical investigations.

Non-clinical Laboratory Studies’ Section. The non-clinical laboratory studies’ section includes information on microbiology, toxicology, immunology, biocompatibility, stress, wear, shelf life, and other laboratory or animal tests. Non-clinical studies for safety evaluation must be conducted in compliance with 21CFR Part 58 (Good Laboratory Practice for Nonclinical Laboratory Studies).

Clinical Investigations Section. The clinical investigations section includes study protocols, safety and effectiveness data, adverse reactions and complications, device failures and replacements, patient information, patient complaints, tabulations of data from all individual subjects, results of statistical analyses, and any other information from the clinical investigations. Any investigation conducted under an Investigational Device Exemption must be identified as such.

We are listed with the FDA as a new device manufacturer, our Registration Number is 20300565, and our Owner Operator Number is 9023393.  Though we do not currently manufacture new devices, the FDA requires our registration as a remanufacturer. Imaging3 is subject to the FDA’s Radiological Health Program, under the Center for Devices Radiological Health division of the FDA.

We must be in compliance with Good Manufactures Practices (“GMP”), Quality Control, and Medical Device Reporting (“MDR”).  The FDA may from time to time, usually every two to three years, audit us for compliance.  In these audits the FDA reviews documents, interviews management and reviews all procedures.

The current GMP requirements set forth in the Quality System (“QS”) regulation are promulgated under Section 520 of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic (“FFD&C”) Act.  They require that domestic or foreign manufacturers have a quality system for the design, manufacture, packaging, labeling, storage, installation, and servicing of finished medical devices intended for commercial distribution in the United States.  The regulation requires that various specifications and controls be established for devices; that devices be designed under a quality system to meet these specifications; that devices be manufactured under a quality system; that finished devices meet these specifications; that devices be correctly installed, checked and serviced; that quality data be analyzed to identify and correct quality problems; and that complaints be processed. Thus, the QS regulation helps assure that medical devices are safe and effective for their intended use.  The FDA monitors device problem data and inspects the operations and records of device developers and manufacturers to determine compliance with the GMP requirements in the QS regulation.

The MDR regulation provides a mechanism for the FDA and manufacturers to identify and monitor significant adverse events involving medical devices. The goals of the regulation are to detect and correct problems in a timely manner. Although the requirements of the regulation can be enforced through legal sanctions authorized by the FFD&C Act, the FDA relies on the goodwill and cooperation of all affected groups to accomplish the objectives of the regulation.
 

The statutory authority for the MDR regulation is Section 519(a) of the FFD&C Act as amended by the Safe Medical Devices Act of 1990.  The Safe Medical Devices Act of 1990 requires user facilities to report:

·  
Device-related deaths to the FDA and the device manufacturer;
 
·  
Device-related serious injuries to the manufacturer, or to the FDA if the manufacturer is not known; and
 
·  
Submit to the FDA on an annual basis a summary of all reports submitted during that period.

When a problem arises with a product regulated by the FDA, the agency can take a number of actions to protect the public health. Initially, the agency works with the manufacturer to correct the problem voluntarily.  If that fails, legal remedies include asking the manufacturer to recall a product, having federal marshals seize products if a voluntary recall is not done, and detaining imports at the port of entry until problems are corrected.  If warranted, the FDA can ask the courts to issue injunctions or prosecute those that deliberately violate the law.  When warranted, criminal penalties including prison sentences are sought.

Once on the market, there are post-market surveillance controls with which a manufacturer must comply. These requirements include the Quality Systems (also known as Good Manufacturing Practices), and Medical Device Reporting regulations. The QS regulation is a quality assurance requirement that covers the design, packaging, labeling and manufacturing of a medical device. The MDR regulation is an adverse event reporting program.

We are also required to report under the MDR requirements, which are for injuries and deaths, of which we have had none since our registration.

For all devices manufactured or remanufactured by us, the FDA may request updated information regarding any device with a previously approved 510(k) or pre-market approval submission.  If any substantial changes are made to existing approved devices, the FDA may require a 510(k) supplement submission, which, in most cases, does not require the manufacturer to delay production or marketing of the modified device.  As with all applications, this determination lies entirely with the FDA.

Our last audit with the FDA was in 2010 and we expect a new audit to take place shortly after our new device is resubmitted to the FDA in a 510(k) application.

In an audit performed by the FDA, our records for service and repair, quality control, device labeling and serial number tracking are reviewed.  If the FDA finds issues of non-compliance they issue a letter requesting correction, giving us 30 days to correct the non-compliance.  Extensions can be requested to reply, but most issues, if any, can be handled in a 30-day period.

Since our registration with the FDA in 1995, we have had two audits.  We did not receive any notice or correspondence of non-compliance due to those audits.  We received only one suggestion regarding our record keeping process, which addressed preventive maintenance forms being included in all customer files for which we provide service.

We are also licensed with the State of California as a Device Manufacturer, license number 63620.  Both require annual renewal registration updates, listing any new products being manufactured or marketed.  The State of California currently follows the FDA standards and requirements.

We have had no instances of non-compliance with either the FDA or the State of California.  The consequences of non-compliance range from a letter stating non-compliance and a period to cure, suspension of manufacturing and distribution, to fines and suspension of operations.
 

We intend to seek to obtain FDA approval of our proprietary medical imaging device in 2012, although we cannot assure that this approval will be granted when expected.    All of our marketing efforts for the new device must start from the date the FDA approves the device to be marketed.  Since we are already registered with the FDA as a new device manufacturer and have been through an audit performed by the FDA, the FDA is already familiar with us and our processes. The FDA may wish to obtain updated information about us and may require more time to process our planned 510(k) resubmission than estimated.

To enter the European market, our products as well as our quality assurance systems will have to be approved and certified by an authorized certifying body such as Technischer Uberwachungsverein; English translation: Technical Inspection Association  (“TUV”), Underwriters Laboratories (“UL”) or British Standards Institute (“BSI”). In the future, we may plan to go through this process as a part of our overall enhancement of the quality systems.

TUV, UL and BSI are all standards testing companies assisting manufactures to comply with published standards, regulatory standards and laws necessary for marketing devices throughout the world and the United States. These three companies provide the UL and CE (the European equivalent of the UL mark in the United States) marks, demonstrating compliance with the standards and laws.

TUV is a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory and Safety Checklist Contractors certified, providing a full suite of services, including CE Marking assistance, electromagnetic compatibility, electrical & mechanical testing, and many additional global conformity assessment services that help companies gain product compliance to enter individual country markets.

UL is an independent, not-for-profit product-safety testing and certification organization.  They have tested products for public safety for more than a century.  Since their founding in 1894, they have held the undisputed reputation as a leader in product- safety testing and certification within the United States.  Management believes that by building on their household name in the United States, UL is becoming one of the most recognized, reputable conformity assessment providers in the world.  Today, their services extend to helping companies achieve global acceptance, whether for an electrical device, a programmable system, or an organization’s quality process.

BSI exists to help industry develop new and better products and to make sure that products meet current and future laws and regulations.  It tests products from medical devices to fire extinguishers to lamps for football stadiums against published standards.

Far East, Middle East, Eastern European, and Latin American markets have different regulatory requirements. We intend to comply with applicable requirements if and when we decide to enter those markets.

Other Government Regulations

The delivery of health care services has become one of the most highly regulated of professional and business endeavors in the United States.  Both the federal government and individual state governments are responsible for overseeing the activities of individuals and businesses engaged in the delivery of health care services. Federal law and regulations are based primarily upon the Medicare and Medicaid programs.  Each of these programs is financed, at least in part, with federal funds.  State jurisdiction is based upon the state’s interest in regulating the quality of health care in the state, regardless of the source of payment.  We believe that we are materially complying with applicable laws, however, we have not received or applied for a legal opinion from counsel or from any federal or state judicial or regulatory authority.  Additionally, many aspects of our business have not been the subject of state or federal regulatory interpretation.  The laws applicable to us are subject to evolving interpretations.  If our operations are reviewed by a government authority, we may receive a determination that could be adverse to us.  Furthermore, laws that are applicable to us may be amended in a manner that could adversely affect us.

Only a small portion of our revenues come through a government system.  Virtually all of our revenues are obtained from sales and service to vendees who pay us directly.  We have not been subject to Medicare, Medicaid, or any other federally funded health care program.
 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Purchasing shares of common stock in Imaging3 entails substantial risk.  You should be able to bear a complete loss of your investment.  You should carefully consider the following factors, among others.

Forward-Looking Statements

The discussions and information in our public reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (collectively, the “Reports”), including the documents incorporated by reference may contain both historical and forward-looking statements.  To the extent that the Reports contain forward-looking statements regarding the financial condition, operating results, our business prospects or any other aspect of our business, please be advised that our actual financial condition, operating results and business performance may differ materially from that projected or estimated by management in forward-looking statements.  We have attempted to identify, in context, certain of the factors that management currently believes may cause actual future experience and results to differ from our current expectations.  The differences may be caused by a variety of factors, including but not limited to adverse economic conditions, decrease in demand for medical imaging and other equipment, intense competition, including entry of new competitors, increased or adverse federal, state and local government regulation, failure by us to obtain the approval of the FDA for our proprietary 3D medical imaging device currently in the prototype phase,  inadequate capital, unexpected costs, lower revenues and net income than forecast, failure to complete the development of our proprietary products currently under development, technological obscelence of our products, failure to commercialize or sell any new or existing products developed by us, price increases for supplies, inability to raise prices, failure to obtain customers, the risk of litigation and administrative proceedings involving us and our employees, higher than anticipated labor costs, the possible fluctuation and volatility of operating results and financial condition, failure to make planned business acquisitions, failure of new businesses, if acquired, to be economically successful, decline in our stock price, dilution of ownership in us due to the issuance of additional securities by us or the conversion or exercise of outstanding convertible and other securities, adverse publicity and news coverage, inability to carry out marketing and sales plans, loss of key executives, changes in interest rates, inflationary factors, and other specific risks that may be alluded to in Reports filed by us.

We have incurred substantial operating deficits since inception and may continue to incur losses in the future.  To date, our revenue from component and equipment sales has not been adequate to cover research and development costs for proprietary products under development, marketing costs, operating and overhead costs, and substantial costs incurred in ongoing litigation.  Revenue from our old business model of selling nonproprietary medical equipment and components has declined in recent fiscal quarters, and no sales of our proprietary 3D medical imaging product currently under development have yet been made, since it is still in the prototype phase and has not been approved by the FDA for sale or use.  We do not have sufficient cash flow from our current operations to enable us to maintain or grow our business.  We must raise additional capital in the future to continue to operate our businesses.  Failure to secure adequate capital will hinder our growth and may jeopardize us as a going concern.

If we do not generate significant additional revenue we will continue to receive a going concern qualification in our audit.  Our financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis of accounting, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.  The financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that might result if we are unable to continue as a going concern.  We do not generate sufficient revenue and have negative cash flow from operations, which raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.  Our ability to continue as a going concern and appropriateness of using the going concern basis is dependent upon, among other things, an additional cash infusion.  We are actively seeking new investors.

We have not completed the development of our proprietary 3D medical imaging technology.  Research and development projects are inherently speculative and subject to cost overruns.  We cannot assure that we will be able to complete the development of our real time 3D diagnostic medical imaging technology, that it will be approved by the FDA for sale and use, or that, once developed, our diagnostic medical imaging devices can be sold profitably.  We may not develop any new products or services for sale from our research and development efforts.

If we are required by the Food and Drug Administration to conduct clinical trials for our 3D medical imaging technology and device, the additional cost and time incurred before we receive approval from the Food and Drug Administration for the commercial sale and use of our device could  be substantial and adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.  On October 28, 2010, we received a letter from the Food and Drug Administration responding to our 501(k) application for clearance of our 3D medical imaging technology and device.  In our application to the Food and Drug Administration we stated that our medical device is substantially equivalent to devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976 and therefore should be approved for commercial sale and use as a Class II device, without the necessity for clinical trials.  The Food and Drug Administration responded by rejecting our position that our medical device is substantially equivalent to such prior devices, citing several deficiencies in our submission.  We plan to re-file our application to the Food and Drug Administration in the near future to again seek Class II approval, in which we will endeavor to address the deficiencies.  We have engaged special outside professional counsel to assist us with the preparation and submission of our next filing with the Food and Drug Administration.  While we disagree with the Food and Drug Administration’s position and we plan to re-file our application with additional information supporting our application for clearance, we cannot assure that such approval will be obtained or that we may not ultimately be required to file our application under Class III where clinical trials would be required, significantly delaying or preventing our device from being approved for commercial sale and use.
 

Our business may be adversely affected by competition.  The diagnostic medical imaging industry is characterized by intense competition.  We are subject to competition from other firms, many of which have greater financial resources, more recognition, more management experience, and longer operating histories than we have.  We cannot assure that we will be able to compete successfully or profitably in the diagnostic medical imaging business.

We may not achieve the revenue predicted by us in our business model.  We plan to implement a business model that calls for us to sell medical diagnostic imaging devices, based on our proprietary technology.  We will incur substantial operating losses until such time as we are able to generate revenues from the sale of these products.  We cannot assure that businesses and customers will adopt our products and technology in the volume that we project, or that businesses and prospective customers will agree to pay the prices that we propose to charge.  In the event our customers resist paying prices at the rate we propose, our financial conditions and results of operations will be materially and adversely affected.

If products utilizing our medical diagnostic imaging technology are determined to be unsafe, our business will be adversely affected.  As medical diagnostic imaging has become an ever-more important and prominent part of everyday life, dramatic growth in the use of medical diagnostic imaging devices has given rise to occasional questions about safety.  In the event that our products are deemed unsafe, we could face substantial liability and our financial conditions and results of operations will be materially and adversely affected.

Our failure to achieve brand recognition could have an adverse affect on our business.  We believe that establishing and maintaining brand recognition for our medical diagnostic imaging technology will be a critical aspect of our efforts to attract and expand our customer base.  Promotion and enhancement of the Imaging3 brand will depend largely on our success in providing high quality products and services.  In order to attract and retain customers and to promote the Imaging3 brand in response to competitive pressures, we may find it necessary to increase substantially our financial commitment to creating and maintaining the Imaging3 brand.  We cannot assure that we will obtain brand recognition for Imaging3.  Our failure to provide high quality products and services or to obtain and maintain brand recognition could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

We must adapt quickly to changes in technology.  Medical diagnostic imaging is a rapidly evolving technology.  We must keep abreast of this technological evolution.  To do so, we must continually improve the performance, features and reliability of our medical imaging equipment and related products.  If we fail to maintain a competitive level of technological expertise, then we will not be able to compete in our market.

Our inability to respond timely to technological advances could have an adverse affect on our business.  We must be able to respond to technological advances and emerging industry standards and practices on a cost-effective and timely basis.  We can offer no assurance that we will be able to successfully use new technologies effectively or adapt our products in a timely manner to a competitive standard.  If we are unable to adapt in a timely manner to changing technology, market conditions or customer requirements, then we may not be able to successfully compete in our market.

We may not be able to repay our indebtedness.  We have substantial indebtedness to related parties and to unaffiliated third parties, as disclosed in more detail in our reports, financial statements and notes to financial statements filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The indebtedness includes outstanding indebtedness owed by us to our Chief Executive Officer, payable on demand.  We cannot assure that we will be able to repay all or any of our indebtedness, or that the indebtedness does not and will not continue to have a material adverse impact on our financial condition, operating results and business performance, including but not limited to our ability to continue as a going concern.

We cannot assure that we will achieve profitability.  We cannot assure that we will be able operate profitability in the future.  Profitability, if any, will depend in part upon our ability to successfully develop, obtain FDA approval, and market our proprietary medical diagnostic imaging technology, and other products and services.  We may not be able to successfully transition from our current stage of business to a stabilized operation having sufficient revenues to cover expenses.  While attempting to make this transition, we will be subject to all the risks inherent in a small business, including the needs to adequately service and expand our customer base and to maintain and enhance our current services.  Our future profitability will be affected by all the risk factors described herein.

We are exposed to various possible claims relating to our business and our insurance may not fully protect us.  We cannot assure that we will not incur uninsured liabilities and losses as a result of the conduct of our business.  We generally do not maintain theft or casualty insurance and has modest liability and property insurance coverage, along with workmen’s compensation and related insurance.  However, should uninsured losses occur, our shareholders could lose their invested capital.
 

We may face additional litigation in the future.  We have had a substantial amount of litigation.  The adverse resolution of such litigation to us could impair our ability to continue in business if judgment holders were to seek to liquidate our business through levy and execution.  We have incurred and may continue to incur substantial legal fees and costs in connection with past and possibly future litigation.  If we fail in our payment schedule, or fail in our defense to future pending actions, or become subject to a levy and execution on our assets and business, we could be forced to liquidate or to file for bankruptcy and be unable to continue in our business.  Investors who purchase shares of our common stock will be subject to the risk of total loss if the risks described herein are realized, because there may be insufficient assets with which to pay our debts, which would leave shareholders with no recovery.

We have only one independent director.  Currently, the only members of our board of directors are Dean Janes, Xavier Aguilera and Raul Carrega.  Only one of these directors, Raul Carrega, is considered an “independent director,” as defined under the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Therefore, decisions of the board of directors may be made by persons who are not considered independent directors, since a majority of our directors would not be considered to be independent.

The loss of the services of any or our management or key executives could adversely affect our business.  Our success is substantially dependent on the performance of our executive officers and key employees.  The loss of an officer or director of Imaging3 could have a material adverse impact on us.  We are generally dependent upon our executive officers, Dean Janes and Xavier Aguilera, for the direction, management and daily supervision of our operations.

Our ability to protect our intellectual property is uncertain.  We have applied to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to register “Imaging3” as a service mark and as a trademark.  There are no assurances that these applications will be approved and the registrations granted or that any other person will not challenge the registration or attempt to infringe upon our marks.  If we are unable to protect our rights to our trademarks or if such marks infringe on the rights of others, our business would be materially adversely affected.

We may not be able to withstand fluctuations in our industry because our business is not diverse.  Because of the limited financial resources that we have, it is unlikely that we will be able to diversify our operations.  Our probable inability to diversify our activities into more than one area will subject us to economic fluctuations within a particular business or industry and therefore increase the risks associated with our operations.

Our medical diagnostic imaging devices are subject to government regulation.  Under the Medical Device Amendments of 1976 to the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, all medical devices are classified by the Food and Drug Administration into one of three classes.  A Class I device is subject only to certain controls, such as labeling requirements and manufacturing practices; a Class II device must comply with certain performance standards established by the FDA; and a Class III device must obtain pre-market approval from the FDA prior to commercial marketing.  We must receive Class II approval to market our real time 3D medical diagnostic imaging devices.  We cannot be certain when, if ever, we will receive this approval.  In the absence of FDA approval, we will not be able to market or sell our proprietary diagnostic medical imaging device, resulting in a material adverse impact to our potential operating results and financial condition.  Other laws and regulations may be adopted in the future that address the manufacture, sale and use of medical diagnostic imaging devices that could adversely affect our business.

Our business is generally subject to government regulation.  We are subject to regulations applicable to businesses generally.  The adoption of any additional laws or regulations may decrease the growth of our business, decrease the demand for services and increase our cost of doing business.  Changes in tax laws also could have a significant adverse effect on our operating results and financial condition.

Our stock price continues to be volatile and could decline.  Our stock price has been volatile.  The stock market in general has been extremely vulnerable and management cannot promise that the price of our common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board will not decline.  We may register more shares of our stock in the future, free trading shares of our common stock may be issued upon the conversion or exercise of outstanding securities or pursuant to court approved settlements, or restrictive transfer legends on outstanding securities may be removed pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, potentially increasing the supply of free trading shares and possibly exerting downward pressure on our stock price.
 

We recently settled a lawsuit on terms that will cause the substantial dilution of our outstanding common stock, and we may in the future be subject to other litigation.  On November 29, 2011, we were served with a Motion to Compel Arbitration by Cranshire Capital, LLC (the “Plaintiff” or “Cranshire”), one of two Warrant holders with whom we completed a private placement for the sale of common stock and warrants for $1,000,000 in October 2010. The Plaintiff alleged that it and Freestone Advantage Partners, L.P. are the holders of Series A Warrants, Series B Warrants and Series C Warrants (collectively, the “Warrants”) and that our entry into a transaction in October 2011 had the effect of triggering the anti-dilution provision in the Warrants.  They alleged that the effect of the application of the anti-dilution provisions was to substantially lower the exercise price of the Warrants and increase the number of them.  We believe that we had meritorious defenses to the Plaintiff’s claims.  Nevertheless, the parties have agreed to settle the claims.  Accordingly, on or about March 28, 2012, we entered into a Claims Exchange Agreement (the “Cranshire Agreement”) with Cranshire and a Settlement Agreement (the “Freestone Agreement”) with Freestone Advantage Partners, L.P. (“Freestone”), the other holder of Warrants, in order to settle the disputes between us and Cranshire and us and Freestone.  Pursuant to the Cranshire Agreement, we and Cranshire have agreed that as a result of the issuance of securities by us pursuant to the transaction in October 2011, Cranshire is entitled to (i) an exercise price under each of Cranshire’s Warrants of $0.0119 per share, and (ii) the following as a result thereof: (a) 103,466,396.17 shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of Cranshire’s Series A Warrant, (b) 22,868,151.26 shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of Cranshire’s Series B Warrant and (c) 103,466,396.17 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of Cranshire’s Series C Warrant. Cranshire also agreed that its Series B Warrant will terminate and be cancelled simultaneously with the occurrence of the closing under the Cranshire Agreement, and we will have no further obligation to deliver any shares of our common stock under Cranshire’s Series B Warrant.  Pursuant to the Freestone Agreement, we and Freestone have agreed that as a result of the issuance of securities by the Company pursuant to the transaction in October 2011, Freestone is entitled to (i) an exercise price under each of Freestone’s Warrants of $0.0119 per share, and (ii) the following as a result thereof: (a) 1,575,645.38 shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of Freestone’s Series A Warrant, (b) 1,260,516.30 shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of Freestone’s Series B Warrant, and (c) 1,575,645.38 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of Freestone’s Series C Warrant.  Freestone also agreed that its Series B Warrant will terminate and be cancelled simultaneously with the occurrence of the closing under the Cranshire Agreement, and we will have no further obligation to deliver any shares of our common stock under Freestone’s Series B Warrant.  Our shareholders could incur additional dilution in their ownership of us as a result of the full ratchet anti-dilution provisions of other outstanding convertible securities that may be triggered by the adjustments made in the settlement.  Additionally, we cannot assure that future litigation in which we may become involved will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, operating results, business performance and business reputation.  Investors who purchase shares of our common stock will be subject to the risk of total loss if the risks described herein are realized, because there may be insufficient assets with which to pay our debts, leaving shareholders with no recovery.

Shareholders will experience dilution in their ownership of us.  Our board of directors has the authority to cause the Company to issue additional securities and convertible securities at such prices and on such terms as it determines in its discretion without the consent of the stockholders, including without limitation common stock, preferred stock, warrants and convertible notes.  The Company has issued securities to professional investment firms that have full ratchet anti-dilution provisions and other adjustments for certain potentially dilutive transactions.  These provisions may be triggered, causing adjustments resulting in lower exercise prices and more securities outstanding, thereby causing existing shareholders to experience more dilution than originally anticipated when those securities were first issued by the Company.  Consequently, our shareholders are subject to the risk that their ownership in the Company will be substantiallty diluted in the future.

We have issued Series A Preferred Stock having additional voting rights to our chief executive officer.  The Company has issued 3,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock to Dean Janes, our chief executive officer.  Each share of Series A Preferred Stock has a par value of $0.001 and the equivalent of 350,000 votes.  The Series A Preferred Stock is not convertible into the Company’s common stock.  The holder of the Series A Preferred Stock is entitled to dividends only to the extent of the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by him (i.e. 3,000) in proportion to the total number of outstanding shares of preferred and common stock.  The liquidation preference of each share of the Series A Preferred Stock is $0.001, its par value.  Consequently, by virture of his ownership of the Series A Preferred Stock, Mr. Janes will have a majority of the outstanding voting stock of the Company and will generally be able to control the actions by the shareholders, subject to the cumulative voting rights of all shareholders.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

We currently maintain and lease our administrative offices and production facility at 3200 W. Valhalla Drive, Burbank, California 91505.  This facility contains 10,600 square feet of space, and we currently pay rent at a rate of $1.04 per square foot, gross.
 
 
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On November 29, 2011, we were was served with a Motion to Compel Arbitration by Cranshire Capital, L.P.  (“Cranshire”), a warrant holder with whom we completed a private placement for the sale of common stock and warrants for $1,000,000 in the aggregate in October 2010.  Cranshire alleged that it is a holder of Series A Warrants, Series B Warrants, and Series C Warrants issued by us (collectively, the “Warrants”) and that our entry into a transaction in October 2011 (the “October 2011 SPA”) had the effect of triggering the anti-dilution provision in the Warrants.  They alleged that the effect of the application of the anti-dilution provisions was to substantially lower the exercise price of the Warrants and increase the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants.  We believe that we had meritorious defenses to the Plaintiff’s claims.  Nevertheless, the parties have agreed to settle the claims.

Accordingly, on or about March 28, 2012, we entered into a Claims Exchange Agreement (the “Cranshire Agreement”) with Cranshire and a Settlement Agreement (the “Freestone Agreement”) with Freestone Advantage Partners, L.P. (“Freestone”), the other holder of Warrants, in order to settle the disputes between us and Cranshire and us and Freestone.

Pursuant to the Cranshire Agreement, we and Cranshire have agreed that as a result of the issuance of securities by us pursuant to the transaction in October 2011, Cranshire is entitled to (i) an exercise price under each of Cranshire’s Warrants of $0.0119 per share, and (ii) the following as a result thereof: (a) 103,466,396.17 shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of Cranshire’s Series A Warrant, (b) 22,868,151.26 shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of Cranshire’s Series B Warrant and (c) 103,466,396.17 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of Cranshire’s Series C Warrant.  Cranshire also agreed that its Series B Warrant will terminate and be cancelled simultaneously with the occurrence of the closing under the Cranshire Agreement, and we will have no further obligation to deliver any shares of our common stock under Cranshire’s Series B Warrant.

On the first business day immediately following the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Cranshire Agreement, Cranshire agreed to exercise its Series A Warrant for 8,277,311 Warrant Shares (as defined in the Series A Warrant) for an aggregate exercise price in cash equal to $98,500.  The Cranshire Agreement also provides for the mandatory cash exercise of Series A Warrants and Series C Warrants, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions on a monthly basis, such that the we would receive cash proceeds from exercises thereof of $78,800 per month from Cranshire if the conditions for mandatory exercise for that month are satisfied.

Pursuant to the Freestone Agreement, we and Freestone have agreed that as a result of the issuance of securities by the Company pursuant to the transaction in October 2011, Freestone is entitled to (i) an exercise price under each of Freestone’s Warrants of $0.0119 per share, and (ii) the following as a result thereof: (a) 1,575,645.38 shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of Freestone’s Series A Warrant, (b) 1,260,516.30 shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of Freestone’s Series B Warrant, and (c) 1,575,645.38 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of Freestone’s Series C Warrant.  Freestone also agreed that its Series B Warrant will terminate and be cancelled simultaneously with the occurrence of the closing under the Cranshire Agreement, and we will have no further obligation to deliver any shares of our common stock under Freestone’s Series B Warrant.

On the first business day immediately following the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Cranshire Agreement, Freestone agreed to exercise its Series A Warrant for 126,051 Warrant Shares (as defined in the Series A Warrant) for an aggregate exercise price in cash equal to $1,500.01.  The Freestone Agreement also provides for the mandatory cash exercise of Series A Warrants and Series C Warrants, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions on a monthly basis, such that we would receive cash proceeds from exercises thereof of $1,200 per month from Freestone if the conditions for mandatory exercise for that month are satisfied.

Under the Cranshire Agreement but subject to receipt of court approval, we are required to issue to Cranshire a number of shares of our common stock equal to the quotient of (x) $275,000 divided by (y) 80% of the closing sale price of our common stock on the trading day immediately preceding the entry of the Court Order (as defined in the Cranshire Agreement).  Such shares will be issued in exchange for Cranshire’s claims, and, subject to the receipt of court approval, will be issued pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Section 3(a)(10) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

We may be involved in other legal actions and claims arising in the ordinary course of business, from time to time, none of which at this time is considered to be material to our business or financial condition.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL AND CONDITION RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Cautionary Statements

This Form 10-K contains financial projections and other “forward-looking statements,” as that term is used in federal securities laws, about Imaging3, Inc.’s financial condition, results of operations and business.  These statements include, among others, statements concerning the potential for revenues and expenses and other matters that are not historical facts.  These statements may be made expressly in this Form 10-K.  You can find many of these statements by looking for words such as “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” or similar expressions used in this Form 10-K.  These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties that may cause our actual results to be materially different from any future results expressed or implied by us in those statements. The most important facts that could prevent us from achieving our stated goals include, but are not limited to, the following:

 
(a)
volatility or decline of our stock price;
 
 
(b)
potential fluctuation in quarterly results;
 
 
(c)
our failure to earn revenues or profits;
 
 
(d)
inadequate capital to continue the business and barriers to raising the additional capital or to obtaining the financing needed to implement our business plans;
 
 
(e)
failure to commercialize our technology or to make sales;
 
 
(f)
changes in demand for our products and services;
 
 
(g)
rapid and significant changes in markets;
 
 
(h)
litigation with or legal claims and allegations by outside parties, causing us to incur substantial losses and expenses;
 
 
(i)
insufficient revenues to cover operating costs;
 
 
(j)
dilution in the ownership of the Company through the issuance by us of additional securities and the conversion of outstanding warrants, notes and other securities; and

 
(k)
failure to obtain FDA approval for our new medical scanning device, which is still in its prototype stage.

We cannot assure that we will be profitable.  We may not be able to develop, manage or market our products and services successfully.  We may not be able to attract or retain qualified executives and technology personnel.  We may not be able to obtain customers for our products or services.  Our products and services may become obsolete.  Government regulation may hinder our business.  Additional dilution in outstanding stock ownership will be incurred due to the issuance or exercise of more shares, warrants and other convertible securities.

Because the statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.  We caution you not to place undue reliance on the statements, which speak only as of the date of this Form 10-K.  The cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section should be considered in connection with any subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements that we or persons acting on our behalf may make.  We do not undertake any obligation to review or confirm analysts’ expectations or estimates or to release publicly any revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Form 10-K or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
 

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and notes to those statements. In addition to historical information, the following discussion and other parts of this annual report contain forward-looking information that involves risks and uncertainties.

Current Overview

In February 2002, a fire destroyed our manufacturing facility and headquarters building along with our entire inventory, all office equipment and internal infrastructure.  Rebuilding our inventory and entire infrastructure continues to this day.  The amount of insurance received from this fire was approximately $2,400,000, which was inadequate to replace inventory and rebuild the necessary assets and infrastructure required to be rebuilt over eight years of prior business.  Several employees were let go and offices in San Diego, Arizona, Washington and Florida were closed, which lowered administrative expenses but negatively impacted revenue and income as well.  Although we have made significant strides, we continue on the path of rebuilding.

Our efforts have been to market our refurbished equipment.  The sales and revenues from service and parts are either from extended warranty purchases at the time of purchase of the refurbished equipment, or service contracts and time and material revenue realized upon warranty expiration, the majority of which is realized one year from equipment purchase as warranties expire.  Equipment sales usually have a one year warranty of parts and service.  After a one year period, we contact the buyer to initiate the sale of a new warranty contract for one year.  These funds are accrued over a one year period and revenue is recognized quarterly.

Our sales effort through direct mail, broadcast facsimile and broadcast email to thousands of potential customers throughout the United States generates leads of potential customers desiring to purchase equipment either immediately or in the course of one year.  This lead generation through direct mail and broadcast facsimiles and email will continue on a quarterly basis with the goal of increasing the total number of our leads for our sales staff.  Management expects that the marketing program will also eventually help stabilize the amount of refurbished equipment sold on a monthly basis, since the carry-over of leads not looking for immediate purchase will overlap with the immediate sales leads. The greater the number of leads generated, whether immediate or long term, the greater the opportunity to eventually create a consistent number of sales.

On October 28, 2010, we received a letter from the United States Food and Drug Administration responding to our application to the FDA for clearance of our 3D medical imaging technology and device.  In our application to the FDA under Section 510(k) of the applicable federal legislation, we stated that our medical device is substantially equivalent to devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976 and therefore should be approved for commercial sale and use as a Class II device, without the necessity for clinical trials.  The FDA responded by rejecting our position that our medical device is substantially equivalent to such prior devices.  We disagree with the FDA’s position and plan to re-file our application with additional information supporting our application for clearance.

Upon receipt of the deficiency letter from the FDA denying our application to market our Dominion DViS product in the United States, we decided to hire a professional independent consulting firm with expertise in FDA filings and their resolution.  Since the process has taken longer than management anticipated, management felt it prudent to engage outside consultants with sufficient experience to assist us in the process.  While we remain confident of eventually achieving FDA approval of our medical device as a Class II device, we cannot assure that such approval will be obtained or that we may not ultimately be required to file it under Class III where clinical trials would be required.

In the absence of FDA approval for our medical device, we currently do not and cannot rely upon it as a future source of sales and revenue.  We are subject to the uncertainty of not knowing whether or when our proprietary medical device will be approved and can be sold.  Under those circumstances, management believes that we will continue our current trend of incurring operating losses, possibly requiring us to raise additional capital or financing from outside sources.  We cannot assure that we will be able to raise sufficient capital or financing to maintain our business while we are incurring operating losses, and we cannot assure that we will become profitable if our proprietary medical device is approved by the FDA.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.  We monitor our estimates on an on-going basis for changes in facts and circumstances, and material changes in these estimates could occur in the future.  Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known.  We base our estimates on historical experience and other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances.  Actual results may differ from our estimates if past experience or other assumptions do not turn out to be substantially accurate.
 

We have identified the policies below as critical to our business operations and the understanding of our results of operations.

Revenue Recognition.  We recognize revenue in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements” (“SAB 104”).  We recognize revenue upon shipment, provided that evidence of an arrangement exists, title and risk of loss have passed to the customer, fees are fixed or determinable, and collection of the related receivable is reasonably assured.  We record revenue net of estimated product returns, which is based upon our return policy, sales agreements, management estimates of potential future product returns related to current period revenue, current economic trends, changes in customer composition and historical experience. We accrue for warranty costs, sales returns, and other allowances based on our experience.  Generally, we extend credit to our customers and do not require collateral.  We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and historic credit losses have been within our expectations.  We do not ship a product until we have either a purchase agreement or rental agreement signed by the customer with a payment arrangement.  This is a critical policy, because we want our accounting to show only sales that are “final” with a payment arrangement.  We do not make consignment sales or inventory sales subject to a “buy back” or return arrangement from customers.  Equipment sales usually have a one year warranty of parts and service.  After a one year period, we contact the buyer to initiate the sale of a new warranty contract for one year.  These funds are accrued over a one year period and revenue is recognized quarterly.

Rental income is recognized when earned and expenses are recognized when incurred. The rental periods vary based on customer’s needs ranging from five days to six months.  The rental revenues were insignificant in the twelve month periods ended December 31, 2010 and 2011.  Written rental or operating lease agreements are used in all instances.

Derivative Liability.  The calculation of derivative liability arising from the Series A, Series B, and Series C Warrants issued by us in a private placement on October 15, 2010 is based on the full ratchet anti-dilution provisions in those warrants, and the assumptions made in the valuation analysis prepared for us by an outside professional consulting firm.  These full ratchet provisions may result in a “reset” of the warrant exercise prices.  The calculation of derivative liability arising from the secured convertible notes and 12,000,000 warrants issued to Gemini Strategies, LLC as agent for designated lenders in October 2011 is based on the full ratchet anti-dilution provisions of those warrants, and the assumptions made in the valuation analysis prepared for us by an outside professional consulting firm.  These full ratchet provisions may result in the “reset” of the warrant exercise price of those warrants.  The factors and assumptions utilized in the valuation analysis include the terms and conditions in the warrants, the market price of our common stock, our stock price volatility, an interest rate factor, and the probability of a future financing during the terms of the warrants that would result in an adjustment for the benefit of warrant holders and at our expense.

Stock-Based Compensation.  We record stock-based compensation as a charge to earnings net of the estimated impact of forfeited awards.  As such, we recognize stock-based compensation cost only for those stock-based awards that are estimated to ultimately vest over their requisite service period, based on the vesting provisions of the individual grants.  The cumulative effect on current and prior periods of a change in the estimated forfeiture rate is recognized as compensation cost in earnings in the period of the revision.  The terms of our performance share unit grants allow the recipients of such awards to earn a variable number of shares based on the achievement of the performance goals specified in the awards.  For performance share unit awards granted prior to 2008, the actual amount of any stock award earned is based on our earnings per share growth as measured in accordance with its Amended and Restated Employee Long-Term Incentive Plan (“ELTIP”) for the performance period compared to that of a peer group of companies.  Beginning with performance share unit awards granted in 2008, the performance measure for these awards will be based on the compound annual growth rate of our earnings per share from continuing operations over a three year period.  Stock-based compensation expense associated with performance share units is recognized based on management’s best estimates of the achievement of the performance goals specified in such awards and the resulting number of shares that will be earned.  The compensation expected to be earned is recognized as compensation cost in earnings in the period of the revision.

Provision for Sales Returns, Allowances and Bad Debts.  We maintain a provision for sales allowances, returns and bad debts. Sales returns and allowances result from equipment damaged in delivery or customer dissatisfaction, as provided by agreement.  The provision is provided for by reducing gross revenue by a portion of the amount invoiced during the relevant period.  The amount of the reduction is estimated based on historical experience.

Reserve for Obsolete/Excess Inventory. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market.  We regularly review our inventories and, when required, will record a provision for excess and obsolete inventory based on factors that may impact the realizable value of our inventory including, but not limited to, technological changes, market demand, regulatory requirements and significant changes in our cost structure.  If ultimate usage varies significantly from expected usage, or other factors arise that are significantly different than those anticipated by management, inventory write-downs or increases in reserves may be required.

The fire in 2002 incinerated our inventory, so we did not have to deal with significant amounts of obsolete inventory for a period of time.  Recently, however, it was necessary to impair approximately $5,281 of inventory for the twelve month period ending December 31, 2011.  Our procedure is now to maintain only limited inventory, based on our experience in service and repair, necessary for current service and repair contracts or orders anticipated within the following 60 days.  We have supply relationships with long term suppliers to provide additional parts on an as needed, prompt basis for the vast majority of repair and service parts, so obsolescence is no longer a significant factor in our business.
 

Other Accounting Factors

The effects of inflation have not had a material impact on our operation, nor are they expected to in the immediate future.

Although we are unaware of any major seasonal aspect that would have a material effect on the financial condition or results of operation, the first quarter of each fiscal year is always a financial concern due to slow collections after the holidays.

The deposits that are shown in the financials are for pending sales of existing products and not any new patented product.  These are deposits received from our customers for sales of equipment and services and are only removed as deposits upon completion of the sale. If for any reason a customer order is cancelled, the deposit would be returned as stated in the terms of sale, minus a restocking fee.

No depositor is a related party of any officer or employee of Imaging3, Inc.

Our terms of deposit typically are 50% down with the balance of the sale price due upon delivery.

Results of Operations for the Year Ended December 31, 2010 as Compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2011.

We had revenues for the year ended December 31, 2010 of $1,177,473 as compared to $1,068,647 for the year ended December 31, 2011, which represented a 9% decrease. The decrease in sales was attributed directly to a decrease in equipment sales for this period.  Our rental revenue has been a little more than 1% of our total revenue in the past two years and is recognized over the term of the lease agreement.  Rental revenues are only deemed earned as collected.

Our cost of revenue was $532,157 for the year ended December 31, 2010 as compared to $505,865 for the year ended December 31, 2011, which represents a decrease of $26,292 or 5%.  This decrease resulted directly from decreased sales and decreased costs for equipment, parts, sales and services.  Our gross profit margin for the year ended December 31, 2010 was $645,316 as compared to $562,752 for the year ended December 31, 2011, a 13% decrease.  This is due to decreased revenue in 2011.  Our total operating expenses increased in 2011 from $2,566,530 to $2,947,140 for the year ended December 31, 2011, an increase of 15% due to increased general and administrative expenses.  Among some of the added expenses were compensation expense as well as debt discount and financing cost expense. Our net loss for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2010 was $4,200,621 as compared to $17,926,713 for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2011.  This increase in loss is attributed directly to Gain/Loss on change of Derivative Liability account which was calculated at approximately $15,297,390 more at year end December 31, 2011 than for the year end December 31, 2010.

At December 31, 2011, we had a balance due to our chief executive officer amounting to $344,938 for the amount borrowed by us.  This amount is due on demand, secured and interest free.

We filed our tax return for 2000 as an S-corporation and changed our status to a C-corporation effective August 1, 2001.   Under current accounting guidance, deferred income taxes are reported using the liability method. Deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. We have recorded insignificant liabilities of $800 per year for income taxes due to adjustments as a result of the conversion from an S-corporation to a C-corporation for tax purposes.  The provision for income taxes was recorded for the state minimum tax of $800 imposed on corporations. (See Note 7 in financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011.)

We expect the trend of operating losses by us to continue into the future at the current or greater rate as we spend money on product development and marketing.  We cannot assure that we can achieve profitability.  We do not expect litigation against us to expand and believe litigation is on a decreasing trend, although we can give no assurances in relation to future litigation.

In 2011, we spent and recorded $225,904 for research and development of our technology, which includes software design, mechanical design and the manufacturing of the prototype.  Costs for individuals employed by Imaging3 are absorbed in normal operating expenses and are not separated into different categories at this time for simplicity.
 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our total current assets increased from $543,087 as of December 31, 2010, to $670,748 as of December 31, 2011, a difference of $127,661 or 19%.  The cash account as of December 31, 2010 was $367,578, compared to $449,733 as of December 31, 2011.

Our total current liabilities increased to $20,532,397 as of December 31, 2011 from $5,402,858 as of December 31, 2010.  This increase is due in large part to the increase in the Derivative Liability account by $15,297,390 for this reporting period.  The Derivative Liability account derives from the Series A, Series B, and Series C Warrants issued by us in a private placement on October 15, 2010 and the convertible note and warrants issued in a private placement on October 3, 2011.

During the year ended December 31, 2010, we used $1,700,427 of net cash for operating activities, as compared to $1,762,259 during the year ended December 31, 2011.  Net cash provided by financing activities during the year ended December 31, 2010 was $1,434,562, as compared to $1,844,414 during the year ended December 31, 2011.

Going Concern Qualification

We have incurred significant losses from operations, and such losses are expected to continue.  Our auditors have included a “Going Concern Qualification” in their report for the year ended December 31, 2011.  In addition, we have limited working capital.  The foregoing raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.  Management’s plans include seeking additional capital and/or debt financing.  We cannot guarantee that additional capital and/or debt financing will be available when and to the extent required, or that if available it will be on terms acceptable to us.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.  The “Going Concern Qualification” may make it substantially more difficult for us to raise capital.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

None.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors
Imaging3, Inc.
Burbank, California

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Imaging3, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 and the related statements of operations, stockholders' deficit and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

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

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Imaging3, Inc. as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the period described above in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  The Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and maintains a working capital deficit. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. See note 13 to the financial statements for further information regarding this uncertainty.

IMAGING3, INC.
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2010, and 2011

1.      ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Imaging3, Inc. (the “Company”) is a California corporation incorporated on October 29, 1993 as Imaging Services, Inc.  The Company filed a certificate of amendment of articles of incorporation to change its name to Imaging3, Inc. on August 20, 2002.

The Company’s primary business is production and sale of medical equipment, parts and services to hospitals, surgery centers, research labs, physician offices and veterinarians.  Equipment sales include new c-arms, c-arms tables, remanufactured c-arms, used c-arm and surgical tables.  Part sales comprise of new or renewed replacement parts for c-arms.

2.      SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A summary of the Company’s significant accounting policies consistently applied in the preparation of the accompanying financial statements follows:

Use of Estimates

In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less from the date of purchase that are readily convertible into cash to be cash equivalents.  The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts that may exceed federally insured limits.  The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. The Company had no cash equivalents at December 31, 2011 or 2010.

Accounts Receivable

The Company’s customer base is geographically dispersed.  The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses on accounts receivable.  Management reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to evaluate the adequacy of these reserves.  Reserves are recorded primarily on a specific identification basis.

Inventories

Inventories, comprising of finished goods and parts are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market.  Management compares the cost of inventories with the market value and allowance is made for writing down the inventories to their market value, if lower.  For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company experienced an impairment of $99,601 of inventory.  For the year ended December 21, 2011, the Company did not experience an impairment of inventory.

Due to Officer

At December 31, 2010 and 2011, the Company had balances due to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company of $520,328 and $344,938, respectively, for amounts owed during those years. The amount is due on demand, interest free and is secured by the assets of the Company.  Interest is not imputed since a portion of this amount represents unpaid salaries.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2010, and 2011

Property & Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost.  Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expenses as incurred and additions, renewals and betterments are capitalized.  When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is included in operations.  Depreciation of property and equipment is provided using the straight-line method for substantially all assets with estimated lives of three to eight years.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Current accounting literature requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable through the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the assets. Whenever any such impairment exists, an impairment loss will be recognized for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value.

The Company tests long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment and intangible assets subject to periodic amortization, for recoverability at least annually or more frequently upon the occurrence of an event or when circumstances indicate that the net carrying amount is greater than its fair value.  Assets are grouped and evaluated at the lowest level for their identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets.  The Company considers historical performance and future estimated results in its evaluation of potential impairment and then compares the carrying amount of the asset to the future estimated cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset.  If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds estimated expected undiscounted future cash flows, the Company measures the amount of impairment by comparing the carrying amount of the asset to its fair value.  The estimation of fair value is generally measured by discounting expected future cash flows at the rate the Company utilizes to evaluate potential investments.  The Company estimates fair value based on the information available in making whatever estimates, judgments and projections are considered necessary. There was no impairment of long-lived assets in the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010.

Equipment Deposits

Equipment deposits represent amounts received from customers against future sales of goods since the Company recognizes revenue upon shipment of goods.  These deposits are applied to the invoices when the equipment is shipped to the customers.  The balances at December 31, 2010 and 2011 were $62,250 and $89,250, respectively.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company generally does not use derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to cash-flow risks or market-risks that may be affect the fair values of its financial instruments.  The Company utilizes various types of financing to fund our business needs, including common stock with warrants attached and other instruments not indexed to our stock.  The Company is required to record its derivative instruments at their fair value.  Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recognized in earnings in accordance with ASC 815.  The Company’s only asset or liability measured at fair value on a recurring basis is its derivative liability associated with its warrants to purchase common stock.  On October 15, 2010, in conjunction with the Company’s issuance of 4,587,157 shares of common stock for cash amounting to $1,000,000, the Company issued 13,761,471 warrants in three series (A, B, and C) each consisting of 4,587,157 common stock warrants, which have exercise prices that are subject to “reset” provisions in the event the Company subsequently issues common stock, stock warrants, stock options or convertible debt with a stock price, exercise price or conversion price lower than $0.2725, $0.2180, and $0.2725, respectively. On October 5, 2011, in conjunction with the issuance of a secured convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $1,200,000 for $1,000,000 of cash, the Company issued 12,000,000 warrants which also has an exercise price that is subject to “reset” provisions in the event that the Company subsequently issues securities with exercise or conversion prices lower than $0.10 per share.  If these provisions are triggered, the exercise price of all of those outstanding warrants will be reduced.  As a result, the warrants are not considered to be solely indexed to the Company’s own stock and are not afforded equity treatment.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted a new standard related to the accounting for financial assets and financial liabilities and items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis, at least annually.  This standard provides a single definition of fair value and a common framework for measuring fair value as well as new disclosure requirements for fair value measurements used in financial statements. Fair value measurements are based upon the exit price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants exclusive of any transaction costs, and are determined by either the principal market or the most advantageous market.  The principal market is the market with the greatest level of activity and volume for the asset or liability.  Absent a principal market to measure fair value, the Company would use the most advantageous market, which is the market that the Company would receive the highest selling price for the asset or pay the lowest price to settle the liability, after considering transaction costs. However, when using the most advantageous market, transaction costs are only considered to determine which market is the most advantageous and these costs are then excluded when applying a fair value measurement.  The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
On January 1, 2009, the Company adopted an accounting standard for applying fair value measurements to certain assets, liabilities and transactions that are periodically measured at fair value. The adoption did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
In August 2009, the FASB issued an amendment to the accounting standards related to the measurement of liabilities that are routinely recognized or disclosed at fair value. This standard clarifies how a company should measure the fair value of liabilities, and that restrictions preventing the transfer of a liability should not be considered as a factor in the measurement of liabilities within the scope of this standard.  This standard became effective for the Company on October 1, 2009.  The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
 
The fair value accounting standard creates a three-level hierarchy to prioritize the inputs used in the valuation techniques to derive fair values.  The basis for fair value measurements for each level within the hierarchy is described below with Level 1 having the highest priority and Level 3 having the lowest.
 
 
Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
 
 
Level 2: Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable in active markets.
 
 
Level 3: Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs are unobservable.
 
The following table presents assets and liabilities that are measured and recognized at fair value as of December 31, 2010 and 2011 on a recurring basis:

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes its revenue in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements” (“SAB 104”). SAB 104 revises or rescinds portions of the interpretative guidance included in Topic 13 of the codification of staff accounting bulletins in order to make this interpretive guidance consistent with current authoritative accounting and auditing guidance and SEC rules and regulations.  Revenue is recognized upon shipment, provided that evidence of an arrangement exists, title and risk of loss have passed to the customer, fees are fixed or determinable and collection of the related receivable is reasonably assured.  Revenue is recorded net of estimated product returns, which is based upon the Company’s return policy, sales agreements, management estimates of potential future product returns related to current period revenue, current economic trends, changes in customer composition and historical experience. The Company accrues for warranty costs, sales returns, and other allowances based on its experience. Generally, the Company extends credit to its customers and does not require collateral.  The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and historic credit losses have been within management’s expectations and has a revenue receivables policy for service and warranty contracts.  Equipment sales usually have a one year warranty of parts and service.  After a one year period, the Company contacts the buyer to initiate the sale of a new warranty contract for one year.  These funds are accrued over a one year period and revenue is recognized quarterly.

Rental income is recognized when earned and expenses are recognized when incurred. The rental periods vary based on customer’s needs ranging from five days to six months.  An operating lease agreement is utilized.  The rental revenues were insignificant in the twelve month periods ended December 31, 2010, and 2011.  Written rental agreements are used in all instances.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company records stock-based compensation as a charge to earnings net of the estimated impact of forfeited awards.  As such, the Company recognizes stock-based compensation cost only for those stock-based awards that are estimated to ultimately vest over their requisite service period, based on the vesting provisions of the individual grants.  The cumulative effect on current and prior periods of a change in the estimated forfeiture rate is recognized as compensation cost in earnings in the period of the revision.  The terms of the Company’s performance share unit grants allow the recipients of such awards to earn a variable number of shares based on the achievement of the performance goals specified in the awards.  For performance share unit awards granted prior to 2008, the actual amount of any stock award earned is based on the Company’s earnings per share growth as measured in accordance with its Amended and Restated Employee Long-Term Incentive Plan (“ELTIP”) for the performance period compared to that of a peer group of companies.  Beginning with performance share unit awards granted in 2008, the performance measure for these awards will be based on the compound annual growth rate of the Company’s earnings per share from continuing operations over a three year period.  Stock-based compensation expense associated with performance share units is recognized based on management’s best estimates of the achievement of the performance goals specified in such awards and the resulting number of shares that will be earned.  The compensation expected to be earned is recognized as compensation cost in earnings in the period of the revision.

Income Taxes

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

Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share

Basic net loss per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.  Diluted net loss per share is based on the assumption that all dilutive convertible shares and stock options were converted or exercised.  Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method.  Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period.  The Company had no common stock equivalents or other potentially dilutive securities at December 31, 2010.  The effect of the Company’s common stock warrants was anti-dilutive at December 31, 2011.

Recent Pronouncements

In September 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-08, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment. The guidance in ASU 2011-08 is intended to reduce complexity and costs by allowing an entity the option to make a qualitative evaluation about the likelihood of goodwill impairment to determine whether it should calculate the fair value of a reporting unit. The amendments also improve previous guidance by expanding upon the examples of events and circumstances that an entity should consider between annual impairment tests in determining whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. Also, the amendments improve the examples of events and circumstances that an entity having a reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount should consider in determining whether to measure an impairment loss, if any, under the second step of the goodwill impairment test. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted, including for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed as of a date before September 15, 2011, if an entity’s financial statements for the most recent annual or interim period have not yet been issued. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income”, which is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011. ASU 2011-05 will become effective for the Company on April 1, 2012. This guidance eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity. In addition, items of other comprehensive income that are reclassified to profit or loss are required to be presented separately on the face of the financial statements. This guidance is intended to increase the prominence of other comprehensive income in financial statements by requiring that such amounts be presented either in a single continuous statement of income and comprehensive income or separately in consecutive statements of income and comprehensive income. The adoption of ASU 2011-05 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs” (ASU 2011-04), which is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011. This guidance amends certain accounting and disclosure requirements related to fair value measurements. Additional disclosure requirements in the update include: (1) for Level 3 fair value measurements, quantitative information about unobservable inputs used, a description of the valuation processes used by the entity, and a qualitative discussion about the sensitivity of the measurements to changes in the unobservable inputs; (2) for an entity’s use of a nonfinancial asset that is different from the asset’s highest and best use, the reason for the difference; (3) for financial instruments not measured at fair value but for which disclosure of fair value is required, the fair value hierarchy level in which the fair value measurements were determined; and (4) the disclosure of all transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. ASU 2011-04 will become effective for the Company on January 1, 2012. We are currently evaluating ASU 2011-04 and have not yet determined the impact that adoption will have on our financial statements.

During 2003, the Company paid payroll net of taxes and accrued said taxes without payment due to cash flow limitations resulting from a 2002 warehouse fire that incinerated our inventory.  The Company subsequently received a tax lien in 2005 related to 2003 payroll taxes from the Internal Revenue Service and continued to accrue interest and penalty charges.  The original amount was $104,052.  In 2008, payments were made and the Internal Revenue Service issued a tax lien release for this amount and the liability carried on the Company’s books was relieved.  In 2009, the Company was notified by the Internal Revenue Service that additional payroll taxes, interest, and penalty charges were still owed.  After researching, it is believed that the Internal Revenue Service double booked the original payments made and released the lien in error.  Settlement was reached and the Company is currently paying $2,000 per month on a total liability as of December 31, 2011 of $125,354, including interest and penalties, with a potential balloon payment in one year subject to re-negotiation after one year with the IRS.

7.      INCOME TAXES

For the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company incurred net operating losses for tax purposes of approximately $5,878,556.  The total net operating loss carry forwards of $12,063,754 may be used to reduce taxable income through the year 2031. The availability of the Company’s net operating loss carry forwards are subject to limitation if there is a 50% or more change in the ownership of the Company’s stock.  The provision for income taxes consists of the state minimum tax imposed on corporations of $800.  There are no uncertain tax positions requiring disclosure.

8.    CONVERTIBLE NOTES

During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company issued secured convertible promissory notes in the total principal amount of $1,200,000 from which the Company received $1,000,000 of cash.  The notes have no stated rate of interest.  The convertible promissory note is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a rate the lesser of (a) $0.10 per share, or (b) 80% of the average of the three (3) lowest daily VWAP’s (volume weighted average prices) during the 22 consecutive trading days immediately preceding the applicable conversion date, but not less than $0.05 per share, subject to full ratchet anti-dilution provisions.  The notes included a total of 12,000,000 warrants that also have full ratchet anti-dilution provisions and other potential adjustments.  On their face, they are exercisable at $0.10 per share for a period of five years from the date of issue.  The notes are secured by all personal property of the company, including inventory, equipment, contract rights including all intangible assets, etc.  The Company incurred financing costs of $15,250 related to the issuance of the convertible note and warrants.  These financing costs have been deferred and are being amortized on a straight line basis over the life of convertible promissory note.  It was determined that the convertible notes and warrants included embedded derivatives.

A discount on the convertible promissory notes totaled $1,200,000.  This discount is amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the note.  The debt discount amortization during the period ended December 31, 2011 was $292,603.

9.      STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Preferred Stock

On November 17, 2011, the Company authorized the issuance of up to 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock.  On March 20, 2012, the Company also issued 3,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.

Series A Preferred Stock
These shares have the right to receive dividends, when declared, on a ratable basis with the holders of the Company’s common stock based on the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding in relation to the total number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock and common stock then outstanding.  These shares have voting rights that permit the holders to vote 350,000 votes for each share of Series A Preferred Stock.  The holders of Series A Preferred Stock will vote with the holders of common stock as one class.  In the event of liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company, the Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding will be entitled to be paid a preference of $0.001 per share of the then outstanding Series A Preferred Stock.

The Company estimated the Series A Preferred Stock 1,000 shares granted on November 17, 2011 to an officer of the company at the fair market value of $288,014.  These shares were issued subsequent to December 31, 2011, and as such have been recorded in Preferred Stock Payable.  The holder of this preferred stock along with other common share holdings, represent a controlling voting interest in the Company.  As a result, a determination of the control premium was determined to estimate the value of the shares.  The control premium is based on publicly traded companies or comparable entities which have been recently acquired in arm’s length transactions.  This control premium was determined to be 10% of the market value of the common shares required for control on the date the shares were granted.  The market value of the common shares required to control the company was $2,880,140 on the date of grant.  The number of common shares required for control is based on the number required to be held by the holder of the preferred stock in order for the preferred stock to give that holder control of the Company.  The Company performed the valuation with the assistance of a valuations specialist.

Common Stock

During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company issued 4,587,157 shares of common stock and 13,761,471 warrants to purchase common stock for cash amounting to $1,000,000.  Of the 13,761,471 warrants, (a) 4,587,157 are exercisable at a price of $0.2725 per share for a period of five (5) years from the date of issuance, (b) 4,587,157 are exercisable at a price of $0.218 per share for a period of 18 months from the date of issuance, and (c) 4,587,157 are exercisable at a price of $0.2725 per share for a period of five (5) years from the date of issuance, exercisable only to the extent that the warrants described in (b) of this paragraph are exercised.  The number of shares issuable upon the exercise of the warrants described in (a), (b), and (c) of this paragraph and the exercise prices of the warrants described in (a), (b), and (c) of this paragraph may be adjusted pursuant to the full-ratchet anti dilution provisions contained in those warrants.  The Company incurred stock offering cost of $35,000 related to the issuance.  The Company also issued to the placement agent 229,358 warrants valued at $89,941 as additional compensation for the stock offering.

11.      DERIVATIVE LIABILITY

The Company’s only asset or liability measured at fair value on a recurring basis is its derivative liability associated with its warrants to purchase common stock.

During the year ended December 31, 2010, in conjunction with the Company’s issuance of 4,587,157 shares of common stock for cash amounting to $1,000,000, the Company issued 13,761,471 warrants in three series (A, B, and C) each consisting of 4,587,157 common stock warrants, which have exercise prices that are subject to “reset” provisions in the event the Company subsequently issues common stock, stock warrants, stock options or convertible debt with a stock price, exercise price or conversion price lower than $0.2725, $0.2180, and $0.2725, respectively.  If these provisions are triggered, the exercise price of all their warrants will be reduced.  Accordingly, the warrants are not considered to be solely indexed to the Company’s own stock and are not afforded equity treatment.  On March 28, 2012, the Company settled litigation with the holders of these warrants.  The settlement specified an exercise price under which 160,084,072 additional warrant shares would be issuable pursuant to the exercise price “reset” provisions.  The number of additional warrant shares issuable was included in the derivative valuation as of December 31, 2011.

During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company issued secured convertible promissory notes in the total principal amount of $1,200,000 from which the Company received $1,000,000 of cash.  The convertible promissory note is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a rate the lesser of (a) $0.10 per share, or (b) 80% of the average of the three (3) lowest daily VWAP’s (volume weighted average prices) during the 22 consecutive trading days immediately preceding the applicable conversion date, but not less than $0.05 per share, subject to full ratchet anti-dilution provisions.  The notes included a total of 12,000,000 warrants that also have full ratchet anti-dilution provisions and other potential adjustments.  On their face, they are exercisable at $0.10 per share for a period of five years from the date of issue. If these provisions are triggered, the exercise price of all their warrants and convertible notes will be reduced.  Accordingly, the warrants and convertible notes are not considered to be solely indexed to the Company’s own stock and are not afforded equity treatment.

As a result, the Company’s securities containing exercise price reset provisions were classified as a derivative liability, in accordance with ASC 815. As of October 15, 2010, the fair value of the warrants issued was $3,614,089 and recognized as an expense and an increase in derivative liability.  The change in fair value during the period from October 15, 2010 to December 31, 2010 of $1,370,623 is recorded as a gain on change in fair market value of derivative in the accompanying Statements of Operations.  As of December 31, 2011, the fair value of these warrants was $15,650,539.  The change of fair value during the year ending December 31, 2011 of $13,407,073, is recorded as an additional expense of $14,392,116 due to the mark-to-market adjustment during the period and an increase to additional paid in capital of $985,044.

As of October 3, 2011, the fair value of the derivatives embedded within the convertible notes and warrants issued was $2,075,090.  The change in fair market value during the period from October 3, 2011 to December 31, 2011 of $169,817 is recorded as a gain on change in fair market value of derivative in the accompanying Statements of Operations.  As of December 31, 2011, the fair value of these derivatives was $1,905,274.

The Company classifies the fair value of these warrants under level three of the fair value hierarchy of financial instruments.  The fair value of the derivative liability was calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation model that values the embedded derivatives based on several inputs, assumptions and probabilities.  This model is based on future projections of the various potential outcomes.  The embedded derivatives that were analyzed and incorporated into the model included the exercise feature with the full ratchet reset.

The following inputs and assumptions were used in the current year to value the warrants issued in the year ended December 31, 2010:

·  
The warrant term is 60 months for series A and C; 9 months for series B.
·  
The warrant exercise prices were $0.2725 for series A and C; $0.2180 for series B, with an assumption of the ratchet exercise price being $0.05 based on recent transactions.
·  
The computed volatility was 120% and risk free rate of 0.83% for all three series.
·  
The probability of the company obtaining future financing was 50% for series A and C; 0% for series B.
·  
The series C warrants are only exercisable if the series B warrants are exercised and only in the same percentage as the series B warrants are exercised.  All series B warrants were exercised during the period.
·  
Full ratchet anti-dilution includes exercise price adjustment upon subsequent financings at a lower price and an increase in the warrants issued upon an exercise price adjustment.

The following inputs and assumptions were used to value the secured convertible notes and warrants issued in the year ended December 31, 2011:

·  
The warrant term is 60 months.
·  
The warrant exercise prices were $0.10.
·  
The computed volatility was 120-122% and risk free rate of 0.83% to 0.87%.
·  
The probability of the company obtaining future financing was 50%.
·  
Full ratchet anti-dilution includes exercise price adjustment upon subsequent financings at a lower price and an increase in the warrants issued upon an exercise price adjustment.

The Company prepares its statements of cash flows using the indirect method.

The Company paid income taxes of $800 and interest of $16,140 during the year 2011.  The Company paid income taxes of $800 and interest of $55,151 during the year ending December 31, 2010.

13.      GOING CONCERN

The Company’s financial statements are prepared using the generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. In the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2011, the Company incurred losses of $4,200,621 and $17,926,713, respectively. The Company has an accumulated deficit of $34,726,504 as of December 31, 2011. In addition, the Company had negative cash flow from operating activities amounting to $1,762,259 as of December 31, 2011. The continuing losses have adversely affected the liquidity of the Company.

In view of the matters described in the preceding paragraph, recoverability of a major portion of the recorded asset amounts shown in the accompanying balance sheet is dependent upon continued operations of the Company, which in turn is dependent upon the Company’s ability to raise additional capital, obtain financing and to succeed in its future operations.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Management has taken the following steps to revise its operating and financial requirements, which it believes are sufficient to provide the Company with the ability to continue as a going concern.  Management devoted considerable effort during the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, toward (i) obtaining additional equity capital (ii) controlling salaries and general and administrative expenses, (iii) management of accounts payable, (iv) evaluation of its distribution and marketing methods, and (v) increasing marketing and sales. In order to control general and administrative expenses, the Company has established internal financial controls in all areas, specifically in hiring and overhead cost.  The Company has also established a hiring policy under which the Company will refrain from hiring additional employees unless approved by the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.  Accounts payable are reviewed and approved or challenged on a daily basis and the sales staff is questioned as to the validity of any expense on a monthly basis.  Senior management reviews the annual budget to ascertain and question any variance from plan, on a quarterly basis, and to anticipate and make adjustments as may be feasible.

14.      COMMITTMENTS

The Company has a facility lease agreement effective October 1, 2004 for five years with an option to extend for a 60 month period, which the Company exercised effective October 1, 2009.

15.      CONTINGENCIES & LITIGATION

Partly in connection with a fire at the Company’s facility on or about February 19, 2002, in which the Company’s manufacturing, warehouse, and office facilities were substantially destroyed, the Company became engaged in litigation in several courts, all of which have reached judgment or been settled or dismissed. The judgments and settlements are reflected in the liability section of the Company’s balance sheet and total $1,805,136 as of December 31, 2011.

The judgments and settlements are reflected in the liability section of the Company’s balance sheet and total $2,191,643 as of December 31, 2010.

On November 29, 2011, we were served with a Motion to Compel Arbitration by Cranshire Capital, LLC and Freestone Advantage Partners, LLC (collectively, the “Plaintiffs”), two warrant holders with whom we completed a private placement for the sale of common stock and warrants for $1,000,000 in October 2010.  The Plaintiffs allege that they are the holders of Series A Warrants, Series B Warrants, and Series C Warrants (collectively, the “Warrants”) and that our entry into a transaction in October 2011 had the effect of triggering the anti-dilution provision in the Warrants.  They allege that the effect of the application of the anti-dilution provisions was to substantially lower the exercise price of the Warrants and increase the number of them.  On March 28, 2012, the Company settled this litigation and currently awaits court approval of the terms of the settlement.  The settlement includes the adjustment to the exercise price of the Series A and Series C warrants that results in an increase in the number of shares issuable under these warrants.  The parties agreed that under the Series A and Series C warrants, a number of common shares of 105,042,042 and 105,042,042, respectively, remain issuable.  The remaining Series B warrants were agreed by both parties to be cancelled as of the date of the settlement and are no longer outstanding.  The number of shares issuable under this settlement agreement was included in the derivative valuation as of December 31, 2011.  The parties agreed to exercise a portion of the Series A warrants in exchange for 8,403,362 shares of common stock with a price to be paid of $100,000 in consideration to the Company for such exercise.  In addition, the warrant holders have promised to mandatorily exercise Series A and Series C warrants for cash, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions on a monthly basis, such that the Company would receive cash proceeds from the exercises thereof of $80,000 per month if the conditions for mandatory exercise for that month are satisfied. The mandatory exercise provisions include minimum monthly common stock price requirements of at least $0.025 per share for 15 or more trading days in the calendar month, an average daily trading volume for that month of at least 250,000 shares, and certain registration rights pertaining to the filing and effectiveness of registration statements.

16.      RELATED PARTY TRANSACTION

The Company has a consulting agreement with the Chief Executive Officer of the Company under which he receives compensation of $12,000 per month.  The Chief Executive Officer provides management, administrative, marketing, and financial services to the Company pursuant to the consulting agreement which is terminable on 30 days notice by either party.  The consulting agreement commenced on January 1, 2002 and will continue until such time as the Company terminates the agreement or the Chief Executive Officer resigns. The accrued compensation has been included in due to officer.
 
 
IMAGING3, INC.
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2010, and 2011

During the normal course of business, the Chief Executive Officer advanced funds to the Company.  These advances are recorded as due to officer.

At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company had balances due to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company of $344,938 and $520,328, respectively, for amounts owed during those years. The amount is due on demand, interest free and is secured by the assets of the Company.  Interest is not imputed since a portion of this amount represents unpaid consulting fees.

17.      CONCENTRATIONS

Three customers represent 20%, 19%, and 11%, respectively, of accounts receivable as of December 31, 2010.  These balances were collected subsequent to December 31, 2010.  There were no revenue concentrations to disclose for the period ended December 31, 2010.

Three customers represented 19%, and 18%, respectively, of the Company’s accounts receivable as of December 31, 2011. These balances were collected subsequent to December 31, 2011.  There were no revenue concentrations to disclose for the period ended December 31, 2011.

18.      SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Effective March 20, 2012, the Company issued 3,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock to Dean Janes, our chief executive officer.  Each share of Series A Preferred Stock has a par value of $0.001 and the equivalent of 350,000 votes.  The Series A Preferred Stock is not convertible into the Company’s common stock.  The holder of the Series A Preferred Stock is entitled to dividends only to the extent of the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by him (i.e. 3,000) in proportion to the total number of outstanding shares of preferred and common stock.  The liquidation preference of each share of the Series A Preferred Stock is equal to $0.001 per share.

On March 28, 2012, the Company settled this litigation and has received court approval of the terms of the settlement.  The settlement includes the adjustment to the exercise price of the Series A and Series C warrants that results in an increase in the number of shares issuable under these warrants.  The parties agreed that under the Series A and Series C warrants, a number of common shares of 105,042,042 and 105,042,042, respectively, remain issuable.  The remaining Series B warrants were agreed by both parties to be cancelled as of the date of the settlement and are no longer outstanding.  The number of shares issuable under this settlement agreement was included in the derivative valuation as of December 31, 2011.  The parties agreed to exercise a portion of the Series A warrants in exchange for 8,403,362 shares of common stock with a price to be paid of $100,000 in consideration to the Company for such exercise.  In addition, the warrant holders have promised to mandatorily exercise Series A and Series C warrants for cash, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions on a monthly basis, such that the Company would receive cash proceeds from the exercises thereof of $80,000 per month if the conditions for mandatory exercise for that month are satisfied. The mandatory exercise provisions include minimum monthly common stock price requirements of at least $0.025 per share for 15 or more trading days in the calendar month, an average daily trading volume for that month of at least 250,000 shares, and certain registration rights pertaining to the filing and effectiveness of registration statements.

ITEM 9A. CONTROL AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)).  Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered in this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all error or fraud.  A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.  Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs.  Due to the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected.  To address the material weaknesses, we performed additional analysis and other post-closing procedures in an effort to ensure our consolidated financial statements included in this annual report have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.  Accordingly, management believes that the financial statements included in this report fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011.  In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework.  A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.  We have identified the following material weaknesses:

1. As of December 31, 2011, we did not maintain effective controls over the control environment.  Specifically, until December 20, 2011 the board of directors did not have any independent members and no director qualified as an audit committee financial expert as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-B.  Since these entity level conditions have a pervasive effect across the organization, management has determined that these circumstances constitute a material weakness.

2. As of December 31, 2011, we did not maintain effective controls over financial statement disclosure.  Specifically, controls were not designed and in place to ensure that all disclosures required were originally addressed in our financial statements.  Accordingly, management has determined that this control deficiency constitutes a material weakness.

3. As of December 31, 2011 we did not maintain adequate segregation of duties.  Accordingly, management has determined that this control deficiently constitutes a material weakness.

Because of these material weaknesses, management has concluded that we did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011, based on the criteria established in “Internal Control-Integrated Framework” issued by the COSO.
 

Independent Registered Accountant’s Internal Control Attestation

This annual report includes an attestation report of our public accounting firm regarding our internal control over financial reporting.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting through the date of this report or during the quarter ended December 31, 2011, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Corrective Action

In December 2011, the Company added Raul Carrega to its board of directors and appointed him as the chairman of the audit committee.  Management believes that Mr. Carrega qualifies as an audit committee “financial expert” as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-B.  Management plans to make future investments in the continuing education of our accounting and financial staff.  Specifically, we plan to seek specific public company accounting training during 2012.  Improvements in our disclosure controls and procedures and in our internal control over financial reporting will, however, depend on our ability to add additional financial personnel and independent directors to provide more internal checks and balances.  We believe we will be able to commence achieving these goals once our sales and cash flow grow and our financial condition improves.

Limitation of Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors

Under the California Corporation Code, our directors will have no personal liability to us or our stockholders for monetary damages incurred as the result of the breach or alleged breach by a director of his “duty of care.”  This provision does not apply to the directors’ (i) acts or omissions that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing and culpable violation of law, (ii) acts or omissions that a director believes to be contrary to the best interests of the corporation or its shareholders or that involve the absence of good faith on the part of the director, (iii) approval of any transaction from which a director derives an improper personal benefit, (iv) acts or omissions that show a reckless disregard for the director’s duty to the corporation or its shareholders in circumstances in which the director was aware, or should have been aware, in the ordinary course of performing a director’s duties, of a risk of serious injury to the corporation or its shareholders, (v) acts or omissions that constituted an unexcused pattern of inattention that amounts to an abdication of the director’s duty to the corporation or its shareholders, or (vi) approval of an unlawful dividend, distribution, stock repurchase or redemption.  This provision would generally absolve directors of personal liability for negligence in the performance of duties, including gross negligence.

The California Corporations Code grants corporations the right to indemnify their directors, officers, employees and agents in accordance with applicable law.  Our bylaws provide for indemnification of such persons to the full extent allowable under applicable law.  These provisions will not alter the liability of the directors under federal securities laws.

We intend to enter into agreements to indemnify our directors and officers, in addition to the indemnification provided for in our bylaws.  These agreements, among other things, indemnify our directors and officers for certain expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, and settlement amounts incurred by any such person in any action or proceeding, including any action by or in the right of Imaging3, arising out of such person’s services as a director or officer of Imgagin3, any subsidiary of Imaging3 or any other company or enterprise to which the person provides services at our request.  We believe that these provisions and agreements are necessary to attract and retain qualified directors and officers.

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

Board Committees

Our board of directors has appointed an audit committee.  As of December 11, 2011, the sole member of the audit committee is Raul Carrega. The board of directors has adopted a written charter of the audit committee.  The audit committee is authorized by the board of directors to review, with our independent accountants, our annual financial statements prior to publication, and to review the work of, and approve non-audit services performed by, such independent accountants.  The audit committee will make annual recommendations to the board for the appointment of independent public accountants for the ensuing year.  The audit committee will also review the effectiveness of the financial and accounting functions and our organization, operations and management.  The audit committee was formed on August 31, 2003.  The audit committee held two meetings during fiscal year ended December 31, 2011.

Our board of directors does not have a compensation committee so all decisions with respect to management compensation are made by the whole board.  Our board of directors does not have a nominating committee. Therefore, the selection of persons or election to the board of directors was neither independently made nor negotiated at arm’s length.
 

Report of the Audit Committee

Our audit committee has reviewed and discussed our audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 with senior management.  The audit committee has reviewed and discussed with management our audited financial statements.  The audit committee has also discussed with M&K CPAS, PLLC, our independent auditors, the matters required to be discussed by the statement on Auditing Standards No. 61 (Communication with Audit Committees) and received the written disclosures and the letter from M&K required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 (Independence Discussion with Audit Committees).  The audit committee has discussed with M&K the independence of M&K as our auditors.  Finally, the audit committee has considered whether the independent auditor’s provision of non-audit services to us is compatible with the auditors’ independence.  Based on the foregoing, our audit committee has recommended to the board of directors that our audited financial statements be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 for filing with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.  Our audit committee did not submit a formal report regarding its findings.
 
AUDIT COMMITTEE

Raul Carrega

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in any of our previous or future filings under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that might incorporate this report in future filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, in whole or in part, the foregoing report shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any such filing.

Code of Conduct

We have adopted a code of conduct that applies to all of its directors, officers and employees.  The text of the code of conduct has been posted on our Internet website and can be viewed at www.imaging3.com.  Any waiver of the provisions of the code of conduct for executive officers and directors may be made only by our audit committee or the full board of directors and, in the case of a waiver for members of the audit committee, by the board of directors.  Any such waivers will be promptly disclosed to our shareholders.

Compliance with Section 16(A) of Exchange Act

Our affiliates who are members of our management voluntarily comply with Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, even though we do not have securities registered under Section 12 of Exchange Act.  Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires a registrant’s officers and directors, and certain persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of a registrant’s equity securities (collectively, “Reporting Persons”), to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership (“Section 16 Reports”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Reporting Persons are required by the SEC to furnish the registrant with copies of all Section 16 Reports they file.

Based solely on our review of the copies of such Section 16 Reports received by us, or written representations received from certain Reporting Persons, all Section 16(a) filing requirements that would be applicable to our Reporting Persons (i.e. if our securities were registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act) during and with respect to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 have been complied with on a timely basis.  For transactions occurring during the fiscal year ending December 31, 2011, Mr. Janes, our chief executive officer, filed one Form 4 late covering a total of one transaction.

ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

The following Compensation Discussion and Analysis describes the material elements of compensation for our executive officers identified in the Summary Compensation Table (“Named Executive Officers”), and executive officers that we may hire in the future. As more fully described below, our board of directors makes all decisions for the total direct compensation of our executive officers, including the Named Executive Officers.  We do not have a compensation committee, so all decisions with respect to management compensation are made by the whole board.
 

Compensation Program Objectives and Rewards

Our compensation philosophy is based on the premise of attracting, retaining, and motivating exceptional leaders, setting high goals, working toward the common objectives of meeting the expectations of customers and stockholders, and rewarding outstanding performance. Following this philosophy, in determining executive compensation, we consider all relevant factors, such as the competition for talent, our desire to link pay with performance in the future, the use of equity to align executive interests with those of our stockholders, individual contributions, teamwork and performance, and each executive’s total compensation package.  We strive to accomplish these objectives by compensating all executives with total compensation packages consisting of a combination of competitive base salary and, once we grow more and increase our staff, incentive compensation.  Because of our small size and staff to date, we have not yet adopted a management equity incentive plan, nor have we yet used equity incentives as part of our management compensation policy.

While we have not hired at the executive level significantly since inception because our business has not grown sufficiently to justify increasing staff, we expect to grow and hire in the future.  Our Named Executive Officers have been with us for many years and their compensation has basically been static, based primarily on levels at which we can afford to retain them, and their responsibilities and individual contributions.  To date, we have not applied a formal compensation program to determine the compensation of the Named Executives.  In the future, as we and our management team expand, our board of directors expects to add independent members, form a compensation committee comprised of independent directors, adopt a management equity incentive plan and apply the compensation philosophy and policies described in this section of the Form 10-K.

The primary purpose of the compensation and benefits described below is to attract, retain and motivate highly talented individuals when we do hire, who will engage in the behaviors necessary to enable us to succeed in our mission while upholding our values in a highly competitive marketplace.  Different elements are designed to engender different behaviors, and the actual incentive amounts which may be awarded to each Named Executive Officer are subject to the annual review of the board of directors.  The following is a brief description of the key elements of our planned executive compensation structure.

·  
Base salary and benefits are designed to attract and retain employees over time.
·  
Incentive compensation awards are designed to focus employees on the business objectives for a particular year.
·  
Equity incentive awards, such as stock options and non-vested stock, focus executives’ efforts on the behaviors within the recipients’ control that they believe are designed to ensure our long-term success as reflected in increases to our stock prices over a period of several years, growth in our profitability and other elements.
·  
Severance and change in control plans are designed to facilitate a company’s ability to attract and retain executives as it competes for talented employees in a marketplace where such protections are commonly offered.  We currently have not given separation benefits to any of our Name Executive Officers.

Benchmarking

We have not yet adopted benchmarking but may do so in the future.  When making compensation decisions, our board of directors may compare each element of compensation paid to our Named Executive Officers against a report showing comparable compensation metrics from a group that includes both publicly-traded and privately-held companies.  Our board believes that while such peer group benchmarks are a point of reference for measurement, they are not necessarily a determining factor in setting executive compensation as each executive officer’s compensation relative to the benchmark varies based on scope of responsibility and time in the position.  We have not yet formally established our peer group for this purpose.

The Elements of Imaging3’s Compensation Program

Base Salary

Executive officer base salaries are based on job responsibilities and individual contribution.  The board reviews the base salaries of our executive officers, including our Named Executive Officers, considering factors such as corporate progress toward achieving objectives (without reference to any specific performance-related targets) and individual performance experience and expertise. None of our Named Executive Officers have employment agreements with us.  Additional factors reviewed by the board of directors in determining appropriate base salary levels and raises include subjective factors related to corporate and individual performance.  For the year ended December 31, 2011, all executive officer base salary decisions were approved by the board of directors.
 

Our board of directors determines base salaries for the Named Executive Officers at the beginning of each fiscal year, and the board proposes new base salary amounts, if appropriate, based on its evaluation of individual performance and expected future contributions.  We do not have a 401(k) Plan, but if we adopt one in the future, base salary would be the only element of compensation that would be used in determining the amount of contributions permitted under the 401(k) Plan.

Incentive Compensation Awards

The Named Executives have not been paid bonuses and our board of directors has not yet established a formal compensation policy for the determination of bonuses.  If our revenue grows and bonuses become affordable and justifiable, we expect to use the following parameters in justifying and quantifying bonuses for our Named Executive Officers and other officers of Imaging3: (1) the growth in our revenue, (2) the growth in our earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, as adjusted (“EBITDA”), and (3) our stock price.  The board has not adopted specific performance goals and target bonus amounts for any of its fiscal years, but may do so in the future.

Equity Incentive Awards

Our board has not yet adopted a management equity incentive plan and no stock options or other equity incentive awards have yet been made to any of our Named Executives or other officers or employees of Imaging3.  As stated previously, in the future we plan to adopt a formal management equity incentive plan pursuant to which we plan to grant stock options and make restricted stock awards to members of management, which would not be assignable during the executive’s life, except for certain gifts to family members or trusts that benefit family members.  These equity incentive awards, we believe, would motivate our employees to work to improve our business and stock price performance, thereby further linking the interests of our senior management and our stockholders.  The board will consider several factors in determining whether awards are granted to an executive officer, including those previously described, as well as the executive’s position, his or her performance and responsibilities, and the amount of options or other awards, if any, currently held by the officer and their vesting schedule.  Our policy will prohibit backdating options or granting them retroactively.

Benefits and Prerequisites

At this stage of our business we have limited benefits and no prerequisites for our employees other than health insurance and vacation benefits that are generally comparable to those offered by other small private and public companies or as may be required by applicable state employment laws.  We do not have a 401(k) Plan or any other retirement plan for our Named Executive Officers.  We may adopt these plans and confer other fringe benefits for our executive officers in the future if our business grows sufficiently to enable us to afford them.

Separation and Change in Control Arrangements

We do not have any employment agreements with our Named Executive Officers or any other executive officer or employee of Imaging3.  None of them are eligible for specific benefits or payments if their employment or engagement terminates in a separation or if there is a change of control.

Executive Compensation

The following table summarizes compensation paid or accrued by us for the years ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2011 for services rendered in all capacities, by our chief executive officer and our other most highly compensated executive officers during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2011.

All officers serve at will without employment contracts except that Dean Janes is employed under a consulting agreement under which we pay Mr. Janes approximately $12,000 per month until either party terminates the Agreement on 30 days written notice.

Employment Agreements

We have not entered into any employment agreements with our executive officers to date, and do not intend to enter into employment agreements with them at this time.  We may enter into employment agreements with them in the future.

Dean Janes, our chief executive officer, is engaged pursuant to a consulting agreement.

Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year End

None of our executive officers received any equity awards during the year ended December 31, 2011.
 

Employee Benefit Plans

We have not yet, but may in the future, establish a management stock option plan pursuant to which stock options may be authorized and granted to the executive officers, directors, employees and key consultants of Imaging3.  In the event we establish the stock option plan, we expect to authorize approximately 16,000,000 shares or more for future issuance.

Director Compensation

None of our directors received any compensation for their respective services rendered to us as directors during the year ended December 31, 2011.
 
ITEM 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

The following table sets forth the names of our executive officers and directors and all persons known by us to beneficially own 5% or more of the issued and outstanding common stock of Imaging3 at March 21, 2012.  Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  In computing the number of shares beneficially owned by a person and the percentage of ownership of that person, shares of common stock subject to options held by that person that are currently exercisable or become exercisable within 60 days of March 21, 2012 are deemed outstanding even if they have not actually been exercised.  Those shares, however, are not deemed outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. The percentage ownership of each beneficial owner is based on 414,388,151 outstanding shares of common stock.  The table does not reflect the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to which its holder has the equivalent of 1,050,000,000 votes.  Except as otherwise listed below, the address of each person is c/o Imaging3, Inc., 3200 W. Valhalla Drive, Burbank, California 91505.  Except as indicated, each person listed below has sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares set forth opposite such person’s name.

(2)  
Does not include 125,000 shares of our common stock owned by Alliance Acquisitions Inc.  Mr. Janes is an officer, director, and minority shareholder of Alliance Acquisitions, Inc., however, he disclaims any beneficial ownership of the shares of our common stock owned by Alliance Acquisitions, Inc. because he has no dispositive or voting power over those shares.  Does not include 1.05 billion votes held by Mr. Janes by virtue of his ownership of 3,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock.
 
 
ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
 
Mr. Janes is engaged pursuant to a consulting agreement for $12,000 per month plus expenses. The Agreement is terminable by either party on 30 days written notice.  As of December 31, 2011, we owe Mr. Janes $344,938 under the consulting agreement and pursuant to outstanding promissory notes for loans made by him to us, bearing no interest and payable on demand.  On April 13, 2010, we issued a noninterest bearing promissory note to Mr. Janes in the amount of $66,500, payable on demand, for monies loaned by him to us.  On June 28, 2010, Mr. Janes loaned another $100,000 to us pursuant to a noninterest bearing promissory note payable on demand.  On August 8, 2010 Mr. Janes loaned another $100,000 to us pursuant to a noninterest bearing promissory note payable on demand.  On October 4, 2010 Mr. Janes loaned another $60,000 to us pursuant to a noninterest bearing promissory note payable on demand.  These notes have been repaid except for two of them in the aggregate outstanding amount of $108,500.00 as of December 31, 2011, which is included in the total outstanding amount of $344,938 owed by us to Mr. Janes.

ITEM 14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES

Presently and since January 5, 2009, M&K CPAS, PLLC has been and is our principal auditing firm.  The audit committee approved the engagement of M&K CPAS, PLLC before M&K CPAS, PLLC rendered audit services to us.

Each year the retention of the independent auditor to audit our financial statements, including the associated fee, is approved by the board of directors before the filing of the previous year’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures of Audit and Non-Audit Services of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The audit committee’s policy is to pre-approve, typically at the beginning of our fiscal year, all audit and non-audit services, other than de minimis non-audit services, to be provided by an independent registered public accounting firm. These services may include, among others, audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services and such services are generally subject to a specific budget.  The independent registered public accounting firm and management are required to periodically report to the full board of directors regarding the extent of services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm in accordance with this pre-approval, and the fees for the services performed to date.  As part of the board’s review, the board will evaluate other known potential engagements of the independent auditor, including the scope of work proposed to be performed and the proposed fees, and approve or reject each service, taking into account whether the services are permissible under applicable law and the possible impact of each non-audit service on the independent auditor’s independence from management. At audit committee meetings throughout the year, the auditor and management may present subsequent services for approval. Typically, these would be services such as due diligence for an acquisition, that would not have been known at the beginning of the year.

The audit committee has considered the provision of non-audit services provided by our independent registered public accounting firm to be compatible with maintaining their independence. The audit committee will continue to approve all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by our independent registered public accounting firm.
