actively engaged in the business of manufacturing and marketing medical devices
and developing related technologies. Aaron Medical Industries (&#8220;Aaron&#8221;), a 100%
owned subsidiary based in St. Petersburg, Florida is engaged in marketing our
Company&#8217;s medical devices. Previously our largest product line was battery
operated cauteries. We have now shifted our focus to the manufacture and
marketing of electrosurgical generators and electrosurgical disposables. This
new focus on high frequency electrosurgical generators resulted in our Aaron 800
and Aaron 900 high frequency desiccators and Aaron 950, the first high frequency
desiccator with cut capacity. We then developed the Aaron 1250 and Aaron 2250
which were designed for today&#8217;s rapidly expanding surgi-center market.
Additionally, our new 200-watt electrosurgical unit and our new 300-watt
electrosurgical unit which are marketed under the Bovie name, are presently used
in hospitals worldwide. Presently the standard being used in hospitals is the
300-watt electrosurgical generator.</FONT></DIV>

country. Each individual country has differing standards, some of which are more
stringent than our FDA in certain aspects - i.e. Japan. Without such compliance
we will be unable to offer our products in that particular country. If a country
should tax our group of products (to protect their own manufacturers), such tax
will increase our costs of doing business there so as to diminish or effectively
destroy our competitiveness. In addition, a number of countries in South America
have experienced fiscal crisis in the last few years. In Brazil, over the last
several years, the "real" has diminished in value to the extent that the real is
currently worth 25% of what it was worth several years ago. The direct result of
this has increased the cost of our product four-fold for Brazilians. The same
occurred in Argentina where due to its financial crisis, customers there have
sharply reduced orders for our products. Historically there are a greater number
of changes in governments of Latin American countries. We believe Latin America
to be the most politically unstable region in which we do business.</FONT></DIV>

a substantial amount of litigation over patent and other intellectual property
rights in the medical industry and in the surgical generator products and
related markets particularly. We manufacture and sell a number of products for
which we do not have patent protection. In such case, there is always a
possibility that we may infringe intellectual property rights of others of which
we are unaware. A successful claim of patent or other intellectual property
infringement or misappropriation against us could adversely affect our growth
and profitability, in some cases materially. We cannot assure you that our
products do not or will not infringe issued patents or other intellectual
property rights of third parties. If someone claims that our products infringe
their intellectual property rights, whether or not such claims are meritorious,
any resulting litigation could be costly and time consuming and would divert the
attention of management and personnel from other business issues. The complexity
of the technology involved and the uncertainty of intellectual property
litigation increase these risks. Claims of intellectual property infringement
also might require us to enter into costly royalty or license agreements (if
available on acceptable terms or at all). We also may be subject to significant
damages or an injunction preventing us from manufacturing, selling or delivering
our products or some aspect of our products. We may also need to redesign some
of our products or processes to avoid future infringement liability. Any of
these adverse consequences could have a material adverse effect on our business
and profitability.</FONT></DIV>

Additionally, in many foreign countries in which we market our products, we are
subject to similar regulations. Compliance with these regulations is expensive
and time-consuming. If we fail to comply, we may be subject to fines,
injunctions and penalties that could harm our business. Product sales,
introductions or modifications may be delayed or canceled as a result of U. S.

to obtain regulatory clearance or approvals of new products we develop, any

prospectus includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27

and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements are identified by words such as
"anticipates", "believes", "expects", "intends", "may", "will" and other similar
expressions. However, these words are not the only way we identify forward
looking statements. In addition, any statements, which refer to expectations,
projections or other characterizations of future events or circumstances are
forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ materially from those
projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors,
including those listed under "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in this prospectus and
those described in our other reports filed with the SEC. We caution you not to
place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of
the date of this report, and we undertake no obligation to update these forward

Maxxim Medical Corporation (&#8220;Maxxim&#8221;) a then publicly owned corporation,
acquired 3,000,000 shares of our common stock from us pursuant to a certain
agreement in exchange for assets and equipment, the ownership of the trade name
&#8220;Bovie&#8221; and other future business to be conducted between our corporations. As
part of the agreement, Maxxim was granted rights to demand that we register the
shares with the SEC. Maxxim later became a privately owned corporation, changed
its name to Medical Wind Down Holdings I, Inc. (&#8220;Holdings&#8221;) and with certain
affiliated debtors, filed a petition under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United

time of filing of the petition under Chapter 11, a dispute existed between
Holdings and ACMI Corporation, a non-affiliate of our Company and Maxxim. ACMI
allegedly purchased the Bovie common stock from Maxxim in February 2000.
However, during the ensuing years, Maxxim retained possession of the shares and
continued to claim ownership and the dispute continued. In May, 2004, as part of
a Settlement and Amended Plan of Reorganization which was adopted by the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court, ACMI Corporation was officially declared to be the legitimate
owner, free and clear of the 3,000,000 shares of Bovie common stock, together
with the demand registration rights for the shares.</FONT></DIV>

September 2004, ACMI Corporation privately sold the 3,000,000 shares to a
limited number of sophisticated accredited investors who are identified in this
prospectus as &#8220;selling stockholders.&#8221; As part of the sale, ACMI Corporation
assigned the demand registration rights to the selling stockholders and ACMI
agreed to pay future registration expenses up to a maximum of $60,000 and if
such expenses exceed that amount, such additional expenses of registration of
the shares will be borne by the selling stockholders, pro-rata. Shortly after
completion of the sale by ACMI Corporation, the selling stockholders exercised
their registration rights and demanded that we file the registration statement
with the SEC covering the 3,000,000 shares of common stock and this prospectus
constitutes an important part of the registration statement. See &#8220;Selling
Stockholders&#8221; and &#8220;Plan of Distribution&#8221; for more information regarding the
selling stockholders and the sale of shares pursuant to this
prospectus.</FONT></DIV>

addition, pursuant to our Certificate of Incorporation, the Board has authority
to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock and to fix the rights,
preferences, privileges and restrictions, including voting rights, of these
shares without any further vote or action by the stockholders. The rights of the
holders of the common stock will be subject to, and may be adversely affected
by, the rights of the holders of any preferred stock that may be issued in the
future. The issuance of preferred stock, while providing desirable flexibility
in connection with possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could
have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire a
majority of the outstanding voting stock of the company, thereby delaying,
deferring or preventing a change in control of the company. Furthermore, such
preferred stock may have other rights, including economic rights, senior to the
common stock, and as a result, the issuance of such preferred stock could have a
material adverse effect on the common stockholders including the market price of
the common stock.</FONT></DIV>
