Business Description
The company is a developer and provider of integrated embedded system technology, branded products and desktop products and desktop solutions for the multifunction product market. The company focuses on two distinct segments of the MFP market: the small office/home office segment and the corporate segment. According to CAP Ventures, Inc., the total United States market for mFPs is expected to increase from approximately $1.9 billion in 1996 to $7.6 billion in 2000, representing a compound annual growth rate of more than 40%. Drivers of this growth include the increasing number of SOHO offices and telecommuters, the rising demand for cost, space and production efficiency and the expanding volume of information conveyed through fax, the Internet and e-mail. Rather than making several trips to a fax or copier, queuing for a particular office device or purchasing and maintaining multiple single-function office devices, today's office workers can perform print, fax, copy and scan functions with one device that provides nearly seamless document management directly from their desktops.

Use of Proceeds
The proceeds from the proposed offering will be used for redemption of Series P redeemable preferred stock, payment of acquisition obligations, repayment of indebtedness, working capital and general corporate purposes.
