Its principal product, CompuDent(R), a computer controlled, precision metered, local anesthetic injection system (the "CompuDent"), enables a dentist to consistently administer safe, effective and painless injections. CompuDent is a revolutionary device, considered one of the major advances in dentistry of the twentieth century. It has been favorably evaluated in approximately 50 peer reviewed or independent clinical research reports. In 2004 the CompuDent was prominently featured in the leading textbook on dental anesthesia, the "Handbook of Local Anesthesia" by Stanley F. Malamed, DDS.(1) CompuDent, including its ergonomically designed single use hand-piece The Wand(R), ( "The Wand"), provides numerous, well documented benefits: o CompuDent minimizes the pain associated with palatal, mandibular block and other injections, resulting in a more comfortable injection experience for the patient; o the pencil grip used with The Wand handpiece allows unprecedented tactile sense and accurate control; o new injections made possible with the CompuDent technology eliminate collateral numbness of the tongue, lips and facial muscles; o bi-directional rotation of The Wand handpiece eliminates needle deflection resulting in greater success and more rapid onset of anesthesia in mandibular block injections; o the use of a single patient use, disposable handpiece minimizes the risk of cross contamination; o the ergonomic design of The Wand handpiece makes an injection easier and less stressful to administer, lowering the risk of carpal tunnel syndrome; o reduces tissue tearing and necrosis and results in less post-operative or post-procedure pain, but is awaiting further clinical evidence before publicly making these claims. OTHER PRODUCTS AND TECHNOLOGIES To enhance its role as the world leader in advanced injection technology, Milestone has developed the following array of other technologically advanced products for the delivery of local anesthetics and liquid medicaments. CompuMed Milestone developed and in 2001 began limited marketing of "CompuMed(R)", a computer controlled injection system geared to the needs of the medical market and providing benefits similar to the CompuDent. CompuMed allows many medical procedures, now requiring IV sedation, to be performed with only local anesthesia because of the dramatic pain reduction. Also, dosages of local -------------- (1) Dr. Malamed is widely recognized as the preeminent authority on dental anesthesia. New editions of his "Handbook of Local Anesthesia" are published once every seven years and are used in all major U.S. and many foreign dental schools. It is the largest selling textbook in dental anesthesia and is the third largest selling dental textbook. The current edition recommends use of the CompuDent and devotes 62 paragraphs to the device and its application. Milestone understands that this is the first instance in which Dr. Malamed's text has recommended a particular device. 8 anesthetic can often be significantly reduced, thus reducing side effects, accelerating recovery times, lowering costs and eliminating complications. CompuMed is now gaining growing clinical evidence showing benefits from use in colorectal surgery, podiatry, dermatology, including surgery for the removal of basal cell carcinomas and other oncological dermatologic procedures, nasal and sinus surgery, including rhinoplasty, hair transplantation and plastic surgery. SafetyWand Following adoption of the Federal Needlestick Safety and Prevention Act Milestone developed, and in September 2003 the FDA approved marketing of, Milestone's The SafetyWand(TM) ("SafetyWand") disposable handpiece, a patented injection device that incorporates safety engineering sharps protection features to aid in the prevention of needlesticks. The SafetyWand is the first patented injection device to be fully compliant with OSHA regulations under the federal Needlestick Safety Act while meeting the clinical needs of dentists. While safety injection devices have been mandated since 2000 under federal law, OSHA had been unable to enforce this law against dentists because of the inadequacy of existing devices to meet both the requirements of the law and the clinical needs of dentists. The SafetyWand meets these requirements and provides dental practitioners with a safer retractable needle device, with single hand activation, which is reusable multiple times during a single patient visit, yet small and sleek enough not to obscure the dentist's sometimes limited field of view. Since SafetyWand is now available commercially, OSHA has begun to enforce existing regulations requiring the use of safety engineered devices. OSHA is empowered to levy substantial fines for failure to use these devices. CompuFlo CompuFlo(TM) ("CompuFlo"), developed by Milestone, is a revolutionary new technology for injections. CompuFlo enables health care practitioners to monitor and precisely control "pressure", "rate" and "volume" during all injections and can be used to inject all liquid medicaments as well as anesthetics. CompuFlo can also be used to aspirate body fluids. In September 2004, Milestone Scientific was issued United States Patent No. 6,786,885 (date of issue September 14, 2004) on CompuFlo technology, entitled "Pressure/Force Computer Controlled Drug Delivery System with Exit Pressure. Proprietary software working with an innovative technology allows the system to continuously monitor and control the exit pressure of fluid and/or medication during an injection. This same technology also enables doctors to accurately identify different tissue types based on exit pressure during an injection. The technology appears to have many applications in both medicine and dentistry including epidural injections. In December 2004, the United States Patent Office issued a "Notice of Allowance" for patent protection on two additional critical elements of the CompuFlo automated drug delivery technology: "Drug Delivery System with Profiles" and "Pressure/Force Computer Controlled Drug Delivery with Automated Charging". The first of these two additional technologies standardizes and simplifies the drug delivery process, while the second provides the means to deliver any volume of medication or infused fluid, such as a saline solution, into the human body. Epidurals. In 2004, successful results of two independent pilot clinical studies confirmed the efficacy of the CompuFlo pressure/force computer controlled anesthetic delivery system in identifying the epidural space. Identifying when a hypodermic needle has entered the epidural space is a critically 9 important factor in the safety and effectiveness of anesthetic injections administered during childbirth and in the course of pain management therapy. A report on the results of the study, conducted through the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston under the guidance of Dr. Oscar Ghelber, Assistant Professor of Anesthesiology, was presented at the Society for Technology in Anesthesia (STA) meeting on October 28th, 2004. Proper and consistent identification of the epidural space represents a critical step towards the adoption of Milestone's technology for the administration of epidural anesthesia. --------------- In addition to products enhancing its position in advanced injection technology, in 2004 Milestone acquired rights to a proprietary dental enhancement system now named the CoolBlue Wand(TM) ("CoolBlue Wand"). CoolBlue Wand Dental Enhancement System The CoolBlue Wand dental enhancement system uses blue light emitting diodes for fast curing of dental composite material, trans-illumination of teeth and activation of whitening gels and pastes. Initially Milestone viewed the CoolBlue Wand as an aid to its sales force in gaining access to dental offices for sales of CompuDent. However, in view of the burgeoning consumer demand for tooth whitening, Milestone has developed a professional in-office tooth whitening product that will also provide access to the consumer tooth whitening market. CoolBlue(TM) Tooth Whitening System ("CoolBlue") The CoolBlue Tooth Whitening system is a professional whitening system marketed directly to dental offices. The technique used with this system is differentiated from the competition in the following manner. 1. It uses blue Light Emitting Diodes (LED), rather than a high intensity plasma arc light, to accelerate the whitening process. 2. In contrast to currently available methods, it requires a minimum amount of time in the dental chair, as the teeth are illuminated for only ten seconds which is enough to begin the whitening process. 3. The patient goes home with our proprietary whitening rinse, which, by contrast to more expensive methods currently available, does not require custom trays, again reducing the time in the dentist's office. This method has advantages for both the dentist and patient, as it involves less chair time and lower costs. We believe that the sales initiative for this product will enable us to access an expanded number of dental offices, thereby providing an opening to sell our core product - the CompuDent system. It is our intention to make the CoolBlue Tooth Whitening system available in the third quarter of 2005. 10 Ionic White(TM) Tooth Whitening system ("Ionic White") Ionic White Tooth Whitening system is a consumer product designed to whiten and brighten teeth. This product uses a proprietary formulation of whitening gels in conjunction with an intra-oral mouthpiece which contains a series of blue LEDs used to accelerate the whitening process. There are patents pending in the US and internationally on both the design and method of this product. Ionic White was launched via television infomercials in March, 2005. o This product differs from other over the counter (OTC) consumer products in a number of ways. It allows whitening gels to enter the dentin tubules for superior whitening. It whitens the top, bottom, front and back of the teeth, whereas typical OTC products whiten only the front of the teeth. The initial process takes only 21 minutes, and the customer may maintain brightness because the system includes a proprietary whitening rinse, which when used with the intra-oral mouthpiece, maintains white, bright teeth. NEW MARKETING APPROACH Throughout 2004, Milestone continued building a national sales force of highly trained independent representatives to provide sales coverage in urban areas in 16 states. Milestone's sales force currently includes three full time sales managers, 18 inside sales representatives, 3 sales support representatives and 8 independent outside sales representatives. With a growing new sales force and the acquisition of rights to new products to facilitate access to dental offices, Milestone intends to direct its marketing efforts to capturing new customers, particularly from specialty practitioners, including periodontists, pedodontists, endodontists and cosmetic/restorative dentists. CORPORATE INFORMATION On December 10, 2004 we purchased a 19.9% interest in a German wholesale distributorship that sells dental products including our CompuDent technology and CoolBlue product lines in Germany, the world's 3rd largest dental market We were organized in August 1989 under the laws of Delaware. Our principal executive office is located at 220 South Orange Avenue, Livingston Corporate Park, Livingston, New Jersey 07039, telephone number (973) 535-2717. 11 RISK FACTORS The securities offered by the selling stockholders involve a high degree of risk and should only be purchased by persons who can afford to lose their entire investment. Prospective purchasers should carefully consider, among other things, the following risk factors and the other information in this prospectus, including our financial statements and the notes to those statements, prior to making an investment decision. We have no history of profitable operations. Continuing losses could exhaust our capital resources and force us to discontinue operations. Although our operations commenced in November 1995, until 1998 we had limited revenues. For the years ended December 31, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, and 2004, our revenues were approximately $2.9 million, $5.7 million, $4.1 million, $4.1 million, $4.0 million, and $4.8 million, respectively. In addition, we have had losses for each year since the commencement of operations, including net losses of approximately $2.4 million and $3 million for 2003 and 2004, respectively. For the six month period ended June 30, 2005, we had revenues of approximately $3.13 million and a net loss of approximately $ 1.67 million. At June 30, 2005, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $ 48.86 million. Unless we can significantly increase sales of our CompuDent units, handpieces or other injection devices, we expect to incur losses for the foreseeable future. We cannot become successful unless we gain greater market acceptance for our products and technology. As with any new technology, there is substantial risk that the marketplace will not accept the potential benefits of this technology or be unwilling to pay for any cost differential with the existing technologies. Market acceptance of CompuDent, the SafetyWand, CompuMed and CompuFlo depends, in large part, upon our ability to educate potential customers of their distinctive characteristics and benefits and will require substantial marketing efforts and expense. More than 26,000 units of the CompuDent or its predecessors have been sold worldwide since 1998. Sales of disposable handpieces in 2004 reflect a moderate increase in the world wide usage of our dental and medical systems. We cannot assure you that our current or proposed products will be accepted by practitioners or that any of the current or proposed products will be able to compete effectively against current and alternative products. Our limited distribution channels must be expanded for us to become successful. Our future revenues depend on our ability to market and distribute our anesthetic injection technology successfully. In the United States, we rely on a limited number of independent representatives and in-house sales people. Abroad, we lack distributors in many markets. To be successful we will need to hire and retain additional sales personnel, provide for their proper training and ensure adequate customer support. We cannot assure you that we will be able to hire and retain an adequate sales force or engage suitable distributors, or that our sales force or distributors will be able to successfully market and sell our products. 12 We depend on two principal manufacturers. If we cannot maintain our existing relationships or develop new ones, we may have to cease our operations. We have informal arrangements with the manufacturer of our CompuDent and CompuMed units and the principal manufacturer of our handpieces for those units pursuant to which they manufacture these products under specific purchase orders but without any long-term contract or minimum purchase commitment. We have been supplied by these manufacturers since the commencement of production in 1998. However, termination of the manufacturing relationship with any of these manufacturers could significantly and adversely affect our ability to produce and sell our products. Though we have established an alternate source of supply for our handpieces in China and other alternate sources of supply exist, we would need to recover our existing tools or have new tools produced to establish relationships with new suppliers. Establishing new manufacturing relationships could involve significant expense and delay. Any curtailment or interruptions of the supply, whether or not as a result or termination of the relationship, would adversely affect us. We may be subject to product liability claims that are not fully covered by our insurance and that could put us under a tremendous financial strain. We could be subject to claims for personal injury from the alleged malfunction or misuse of our dental and medical products. While we carry liability insurance that we believe is adequate, we cannot assure you that the insurance coverage will be sufficient to pay such claims should they be successful. A partially or completely uninsured claim, if successful and of significant magnitude, could have a material adverse effect on us. We rely on the continuing services of our chairman and chief executive officer, president and director of clinical affairs. We depend on the personal efforts and abilities of our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, our President who was promoted to this position from that of Senior Vice President in September 2003, and our Director of Clinical Affairs. We maintain a key man life insurance policy in the amount of $1,000,000 on the life of our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. However, the loss of his services or the services of each of our President or Director of Clinical Affairs, on whom we maintain no insurance, could have a materially adverse effect on our business. The market price of our common stock has been volatile and may continue to fluctuate significantly because of various factors, some of which are beyond our control. Our stock price has been extremely volatile, fluctuating over the last three years between closing prices of $.42 and $7.77. These fluctuations have been unrelated to or disproportionately affected by our operating performance. The market price of our common shares could continue to fluctuate significantly in response to a variety of factors, some of which may be beyond our control. The existence of outstanding options, warrants and convertible securities may preclude us from obtaining additional equity financing. We currently have outstanding options, warrants and series A convertible preferred stock to purchase 3,451,142 shares of our common stock at prices ranging from $.87 to $7.50 per share with a weighted average exercise or conversion price of $4.78. Holders of these warrants and options are given the opportunity to profit from a rise in the market price of our common stock and are likely to exercise their securities at a time when we would be able to obtain additional equity capital on more favorable 13 terms. Thus, the terms upon which we will be able to obtain additional equity capital may be adversely affected, since the holders of outstanding options and warrants can be expected to exercise them at a time when we would, in all likelihood, be able to obtain any needed capital on terms more favorable to us than the exercise terms provided by such outstanding securities. We are controlled by a limited number of shareholders. Our principal shareholders, Leonard Osser and K. Tucker Andersen, own 27.74% of the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock. As a result, they have the ability to exercise substantial control over our affairs and corporate actions requiring shareholder approval, including electing directors, selling all or substantially all of our assets, merging with another entity or amending our certificate of incorporation. This de facto control could delay, deter or prevent a change in control and could adversely affect the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for our securities. Future sales or the potential for sale of a substantial number of shares of our common stock could cause the trading price of our common stock and warrants to decline and could impair our ability to raise capital through subsequent equity offerings. Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public markets, or the perception that these sales may occur, could cause the market price of our stock to decline and could materially impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities. We currently have outstanding options and warrants to purchase 3,446,752 shares of our common stock at prices ranging from $.87 to $7.50 per share with a weighted average exercise or conversion price of $4.78. Holders of these warrants and options are given the opportunity to profit from a rise in the market price of our common stock and are likely to exercise their securities at a time when we would be able to obtain additional equity capital on more favorable terms. Thus, the terms upon which we will be able to obtain additional equity capital may be adversely affected, since the holders of outstanding options and warrants can be expected to exercise them at a time when we would, in all likelihood, be able to obtain any needed capital on terms more favorable to us than the exercise terms provided by such outstanding securities. The market price of our common shares has been volatile and may continue to fluctuate significantly because of various factors, some of which are beyond our control. Currently, there are 11,386,037 shares of common stock actually issued and 11,352,704 outstanding. Also, there are another 5,301,957 shares of common stock reserved for future issuance as follows: o up to 1,440,000 shares underlying the warrants issued in the February 2004 Public Offering; o up to 335,614 shares underlying warrants granted to satisfy obligations in connection with the 2004 public offering; o up to 432,000 shares underlying the representative's warrants issued in the February 2004 Public Offering, including the shares underlying the warrants included in the representative's warrants; o up to 303,132 shares underlying the warrants issued in our March 2005 Private Placement, including the shares underlying the placement agent's warrants; o up to 69,200 shares underlying the warrants issued in our June 2005 Private Placement, including the shares underlying the placement agent's warrants; 14 o up to 314,333 shares underlying stock options previously granted, or to be granted, under our 1997 Stock Option Plan o up to 500,000 shares underlying stock options previously granted or to be granted under our 2004 Stock Option Plan; o up to 1,303,288 shares underlying other stock options and warrants that were granted and remained outstanding as of June 30, 2005; o up to 100,000 shares upon purchase of a three year option granted to Ionic White; o up to 500,000 shares upon payment of the subscription price by Ionic White o and o 4,390 shares of common stock underlying our series A convertible preferred stock. We have 11,352,704 shares of common stock outstanding, of which 5,827,834 are freely tradable. The remaining 5,518,870 shares are either held by "affiliates", as defined by the rules and regulations promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, or are "restricted securities" as defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933. Of this amount, 1,810,010 restricted shares not held by affiliates and 3,708,860 restricted or non-restricted shares held by "affiliates," can only be sold in compliance with the timing and volume limitations of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933. The decrease of our outstanding shares as a result of a reverse stock split, without change to our authorized capitalization, increased the ability of our board of directors to issue shares without stockholder approval. Issuance of shares may dilute the value of our outstanding shares or have a negative impact on the trading price of the common stock. The 1-for-3 stock split effected in January 2004, after due authorization by our shareholders, reduced our outstanding shares from 18,338,033 to 6,112,678 (9,663,907 shares after giving effect to the consummation of the public offering and related issuances of units). Since the reverse stock split was effected without change in our authorized shares, the differential between outstanding shares and authorized shares increased, thus providing the Board of Directors with increased ability to effect issuances of stock without stockholder authorization. For example, shares may be issued in capital raising transactions, mergers or acquisitions or for compensatory reasons where other governing rules or statutes do not separately require stockholder approval. The issuance of these shares for less than their book value or for less than value paid by purchasers in recently completed offerings could have a dilutive effect on purchasers in recently completed offerings and this offering. Further the issuance of the shares could also have a negative impact on the trading price of our then outstanding common stock, including the stock issued in recently completed offerings and the stock offered for resale in this offering. Implementation of procedures to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and SEC rules concerning internal controls may be so costly that compliance could have an adverse effect on us. We must comply with Sarbanes-Oxley requirements requiring a management report on internal control over financial reporting disclosure requirements in our annual report for our financial year ending December 31, 2006. It may be time-consuming, costly and difficult for us to develop and implement the necessary internal controls and reporting procedures, possibly requiring us to hire additional personnel. These additional costs could have an adverse effect on our profitability. 15 If we are unable to satisfy the American Stock Exchange maintenance requirements, our common stock may be delisted from the American Stock Exchange and, as a result, our liquidity and the value of our common stock may be impaired. Shares of our common stock are currently listed on the American Stock Exchange. Continued listing on the American Stock Exchange requires that we maintain at least $6,000,000 in stockholders' equity since we have sustained losses in our five most recent fiscal years. We received notice from the American Stock Exchange on January 4, 2005 indicating that we were below the Exchange's continued listing standards requiring stockholders' equity of $6,000,000. On January 14, 2005 we submitted a plan to the Exchange for regaining compliance with the Exchange's stockholder equity continued listing requirement by the end of the plan period on June 30, 2005. On January 27, 2005 the Exchange determined that this plan made a reasonable demonstration of our ability to regain compliance with the continued listing standards by the end of the plan period. We have maintained our net worth at $6,000,000 for the two consecutive quarters ended June 30, 2005, which is the target outlined in the plan that we submitted to the American Stock Exchange on January 14, 2005. Once the American Stock Exchange has reviewed our Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB for the period ended June 30, 2005, we expect the American Stock Exchange to remove the special symbol indicating that we are below continued listing standards, although the Exchange has discretion in this regard. If our securities were delisted from the Exchange, trading, if any, in our securities would be conducted in the over the counter market on the NASD's "OTC Bulletin Board". Consequently, the liquidity of our securities could be impaired, not only in the number of securities that could be bought and sold, but also through delays in the timing of transactions, reduction in security analyst and news media coverage of Milestone, and lower prices for our securities than might otherwise be obtained. FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS This prospectus contains forward-looking statements based on current expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections about us and the industry in which we operate. We use words such as plans, believes, expects, future, intends and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements involve numerous risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of factors more fully described elsewhere in this prospectus. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements for any reason, even if new information becomes available or other events occur in the future. USE OF PROCEEDS All shares and/or warrants of our common stock offered by this prospectus are being registered for the account of the selling stockholders. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of these shares and/or warrants. However, the shares offered by this prospectus include 178,577 shares underlying warrants and options to purchase those shares at different prices per share. Assuming the exercise of all of these warrants and options, we would receive proceeds of approximately $852,992 in the aggregate, which we would use for additional working capital. 16 SELLING SECURITY HOLDERS The following table sets forth the information as to the ownership of our securities by the selling stockholders on August 12, 2005. On August 12, 2005, 11,352,704 shares of our common stock, and 1,855,615 publicly tradable warrants were outstanding. Unless otherwise indicated, it is assumed that each selling stockholder listed below possesses sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares owned as of such date by the selling stockholder, including those issuable upon exercise of warrants or options. In addition, other than indicated below, none of the selling stockholders has had a material relationship with us or any of our predecessors or affiliates within the past three years. A person is deemed to be a beneficial owner of securities that can be acquired by such person within 60 days from the filing of this prospectus upon the exercise of options and warrants or conversion of convertible securities. Each selling stockholder's percentage ownership is determined by dividing the number of shares beneficially owned by that person by the total number of shares beneficially owned, increased to reflect the shares underlying the options, warrants and convertible securities that are held by such person, but not held by any other person. <TABLE> NUMBER SHARES PERCENTAGE PERCENTAGE SHARES WARRANTS OF NUMBER TO BE WARRANTS OF COMMON OF OWNED OWNED SHARES OF OWNED TO BE STOCK WARRANTS BEFORE BEFORE THAT WARRANTS AFTER OWNED OWNED OWNED THE THE MAY BE THAT MAY THE AFTER THE AFTER THE AFTER THE SELLING STOCKHOLDER OFFERING OFFERING SOLD BE SOLD OFFERING OFFERING OFFERING OFFERING ------------------- -------- -------- ---- ------- -------- -------- -------- -------- Gestioni Patrimoniale 360,000 (1) 60,000 0 60,000 300,000 0 2.63 0 c/o Banca Profilo Via S.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION Sales of the shares of our common stock or the warrants to purchase our common stock, covered by this prospectus, may be effected from time to time in transactions (which may include block transactions) on the American Stock Exchange (or other markets on which shares of our common stock are then traded), in negotiated transactions, through put or call option transactions relating to the shares, through short sales of shares, or a combination of such methods of sale, at fixed prices which may be changed, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices. None of the selling stockholders has entered into agreements, understandings or arrangements with any underwriters or broker-dealers regarding the sale of their shares. The selling stockholders may effect transactions by selling their shares directly to purchasers or through broker-dealers, who may act as agents or principals. Such broker-dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions, or commissions from the selling stockholders and/or the purchasers of the shares for whom such broker-dealers may act 24 as agents, or to whom they sell as principal, or both (which compensation as to a particular broker-dealer might be in excess of customary commissions). The selling stockholders and any broker-dealers who act in connection with the sale of the shares might be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act of 1933 and any commissions received by such broker-dealers and any profit on the resale of the shares sold by them while acting as principals might be deemed to be underwriting discounts or commissions under the Securities Act. We have agreed to indemnify each selling stockholder against a number of liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act. The selling stockholders may agree to indemnify any agent, dealer or broker-dealer who participates in transactions involving sales of the securities against the liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act. As used herein, "selling stockholders" includes donees and pledgees selling shares received from a named selling stockholder after the date of this prospectus. Selling stockholders also may resell all or a portion of the shares in open market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities Act, provided that they meet the criteria and conform to the requirements of such Rule. We have agreed to keep the registration statement, of which this prospectus is a part, effective until all the shares covered by this prospectus are sold or can be sold freely under an appropriate exemption from the securities laws of the United States and the states, without limitation. In order to comply with the applicable state securities laws, the shares covered by this prospectus will be offered or sold through registered or licensed brokers or dealers in those states. In addition, in a number of states the shares may not be offered or sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in such states, or an exemption from such registration or qualification requirement is available and such offering or sale is in compliance therewith. Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in a distribution of the shares may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to such securities for a period beginning when such person becomes a distribution participant and ending upon such person's completion of participation in a distribution, including stabilization activities in the common stock to effect syndicate covering transactions, to impose penalty bids or to effect passive market making bids. In addition, the selling stockholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including, without limitation, Rule 10b-5 and, insofar as the selling stockholders are distribution participants, Regulation M and Rules 100, 101, 102, 103, 104 and 105 thereof, all of which may affect the marketability of the shares covered by this prospectus.
