Business Description
The company is a leading provider of high quality contract sterilization services, with over 18 years of experience in the operation, design and development of Gamma irradiation facilities. The company operates 12 Gamma facilities in six states serving over 850 customers, predominantly in the medical products market. In recent years, the company has expanded into various non-medical sterilization and processing markets. The company's objective is to be the leading provider of high quality contract sterilization services for manufacturers of medical and non-medical products. The market for commercial sterilization is divided between independent suppliers of sterilization and processing services such as the company and certain large manufacturers that have in-house sterilization capabilities. The company estimates that the U.S. market for contract sterilization was approximately $170 million in 1996 and that a similar volume of product was processed by captive sterilizers. There is also a significant market for contract sterilization services outside of the U.S.

Use of Proceeds
The proceeds from the proposed offering will be used to fund capital expenditures, to redeem the company's outstanding Series A Preferred Stock and for working capital and for general corporate purposes.
