Magna-Lab failed to meet NASDAQ's net worth requirement of$1 million for the small-cap market after a private equity placementfell through late last year and the company began using debt tofund operations (SCAN 12/14/94).

Magna-Labthis month signed an agreement with American Medical Concepts(AMCI) of Houston to distribute Magna-SL to the U.S. orthopedicmarket. The deal will complement an agreement with Beta-Numericsfor the fee-per-scan and mobile markets, as well as a deal withElscint for international sales that has not yet been finalized.
Magna-Lab this month completed the first installation of Magna-SLto MedCenter Imaging in San Antonio, TX. The installation tookonly two days, Haytaian said. Imaging services firm Health Imagesof Atlanta will be under contract by Magna-Lab to provide servicefor that unit, he said.
