Business Description
The company designs, produces, installs and services turnkey production lines for the replication of music and data compact discs. Toolex also produces injection moulding equipment and electroplating equipment which are included in its turnkey systems or sold separately, either to other production line integrator or directly to end users. Toolex produced the world's first purpose built injection moulding machine for CDs in 1985 and remains focused solely on CD production equipment. Toolex's designs are premised on optimizing disc quality, minimizing disc production times, reducing the physical size of CD replication lines and ensuring simplicity and flexibility of use. The Company also supplies equipment to each of the five major recorded music companies (PolyGram, Warner, Thorn EMI, Sony, and BMG).

Use of Proceeds
The proceeds from the offering will be used for repayment of obligations associated with the company's April 1996 acquisition of Forvaltnings.
