| Business Description |
| The company is a distributor of broadcast quality advertising to television stations, cable television stations and radio stations nationwide. In October 1986, Winnebago purchased 80% of the stock of the Company, and the balance of the stock was later purchased by John K. Hanson, the Chairman and founder of Winnebago. Winnebago's current 80% interest in the Company will be reduced to 56% upon the consummation of this offering. The Company began development of its network control facility in Forest City in 1987. During this same tim period, the Company began the design of prototypes of the Cyclecypher television station receiver, successfully tested uplink equipment and opened a Los Angeles regional office. Shipment of Cyclecyphers for installation at television stations commenced in early 1988. Customer service, speed of deliver and the ability to handle late orders have been the cornerstone of the Company's marketing focus. |
| Use of Proceeds |
| The proceeds from the proposed offering will be used for repayment of certain debt, capital expenditures, including digital network conversion and station network expansion, working capital and other general corporate purposes. |
