Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On December 27, 2006, Digital Imaging Solutions, Inc. (“DIS”), our wholly-owned subsidiary, entered into an Agreement for Services (the “Agreement”) with MBR and Associates, Inc. (“MBR”) pursuant to which, among other things, MBR will provide DIS with billing and collection services and DIS will make certain payments to MBR. In addition, MBR will provide DIS with consulting services related to regulatory compliance and current Medicare reimbursement updates. The Agreement shall be effective as of February 1, 2007. The initial term of the Agreement is for one (1) year from February 1, 2007. After the initial one year term, either DIS or MBR shall have the right to terminate the Agreement at any time without cause upon ninety (90) days written notice.

The Agreement supersedes the Agreement for Services dated April 1, 2002, the First Amendment to Agreement for Services dated March 31, 2005 and all other agreements between DIS and MBR.

We expect to file the Agreement with our next annual report on Form 10-K. In addition, we intend to apply for confidential treatment of certain terms of the Agreement.

Item 1.02. Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

On December 27, 2006, DIS terminated the Agreement for Services dated April 1, 2002, as amended on March 31, 2005 (the “Prior Agreement”). Pursuant to the Prior Agreement, MBR provided billing and collection services to DIS, among other things. As set forth in Item 1.01 above, the Prior Agreement was superseded by the Agreement.
