The center will concentrate on services that support imaging and document management technologies and the integration of these applications with other office processes such as accounting, information databases, and project controls.
License and Royalty Fees
The Company benefits from its technology expertise by the licensing of its patented hardware technology and software.
Research & Development (In Thousands)
The Company's engineering group is engaged in a continuing research and development program of its software and scanner products. Research and development expenses were $582, $783, and $770 for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994, and 1993, respectively.
Patents and Copyrights
The Company is the sole owner of two patents entitled "High Speed, High Resolution Image Processing System," Patent Number 4,631,598 issued December 23, 1986 and Patent Number 4,972,273, issued November 20, 1990. Patents are effective for seventeen years from date of issuance.
During fiscal year 1995, 1994 and 1993 the Company capitalized costs related to the issuance of trademarks on its software products and patent costs related to the continuance, application and amendment of its High Speed, High Resolution Image Processing System.
These patents relate to the Company's scanner products. The Company believes that the technology contained in these patents is very important to electronic document scanner and/or digital copier products and to the Company's competitive position. The Company's developed software programs are covered and registered by copyrights.
Marketing
Each of the Company's three separate and distinct, yet synergistic business units sells its products and services through independent, yet complimentary distribution systems.
The Scanner Division sells its monochrome and greyscale scanners and related software through an expanding network of distributors, value added resellers, and system integrators. There are over 25 resellers in North America and 22 others throughout Europe, Asia, South America and the Pacific Rim. Tangent Engineering, Inc. sells its scanners and software products internationally through distributors, manufacturers representatives, and direct sales people.
ITEM 1. BUSINESS (Continued)
Sedona GeoServices, Inc. is developing a distribution system which consists of value added resellers, systems integrators, and strategic partners which will resell shrink-wrapped and customized commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) products and/or license technology for use in the products of resellers, integrators, and partners.
The TRC will sell its services through resellers, manufacturers representatives, and direct sales people. Marketing programs will focus on specific industries, such as engineering and manufacturing, where the Company has established expertise. Subsequently, the TRC expects to sell into other industries that have a high demand for imaging and document management services.
Major Customers
The Company's revenues for the 1995 fiscal year were derived from a number of customers. One customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company's net revenue for this period. (See Note 10 to the Financial Statements)
Competition
The Company's competition must be categorized according to the markets in which the three divisions operate.
The Scanner Division's monochrome and greyscale hardware products compete with four other hardware manufacturers. These five companies control approximately 75% of the worldwide marketplace. The Company's Tangent Color Systems products compete with primarily other makers of large format color reprographic products such as Canon and Xerox. In the area of front end image processing, the Company competes with numerous competitors located throughout the world. In all cases, the Company's market niche remains large document scanning and digital file manipulation.
Sedona GeoServices, Inc. competes against two types of organizations, GIS software developers and GIS-related systems integrators/consultants. Recent industry surveys show that 10 competitive software developers control over 80% of the GIS software market.
There are a number of organizations that offer services similar to those offered by the TRC. These organizations include scanning service providers, hardware and software product developers, consulting organizations, computer resellers and VARs, systems integrators, and electronic document management training and certification companies.
Suppliers
The Company is not dependent on any single supplier for components and subassemblies in the manufacture of its products.
Manufacturing
The Company manufactures its large format scanners, MK35 Aperture Card Library Management System, scanner interfaces, scan servers, and software products at its Broomall, PA and Englewood, CO facilities.
Management believes that the facilities are adequate to fulfill its current and near term needs given the current and projected level of sales.
Employees
As of December 31, 1995, the Company had fifty-five full-time employees. None of these employees are represented by a labor union. The Company believes that its relationships with its employees are satisfactory.
ITEM 1. BUSINESS (Continued)
Dependence Upon Key Personnel
The Company is dependent upon certain key members of its management for the successful operation and development of its business. The loss of the services of one or more of its management personnel could materially and adversely affect the operation of the Company. In addition, in order to continue its operations, the Company must attract and retain additional technically qualified personnel with backgrounds in engineering, production and marketing. There is keen competition for such highly qualified personnel and consequently there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in recruiting or retaining personnel of the requisite caliber or in the numbers necessary to enable the Company to continue to conduct its business.
ITEM 2.
ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
The Company leases its principal offices and one of its manufacturing facilities at 700 Abbott Drive, Broomall PA 19008. The current lease was renewed on September 1, 1994 and continues through August 31, 1997 with an option to renew for two additional years. An additional manufacturing facility is located at 14 Inverness Drive East, Suite A-100, Englewood, CO 80112. The current lease has a term of five years beginning on June 1, 1994 and ending on May 31, 1999. Management believes that the facilities adequately fulfill its office and manufacturing space requirements. (See Notes 12 and 14 to the Financial Statements)
ITEM 3.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS (In Thousands)
On September 15 1992, SCAN-GRAPHICS, Inc. and Scorpion Technologies, Inc. reached an initial settlement agreement regarding a jury verdict in favor of SCAN-GRAPHICS, Inc. in August 1992. The agreement provided that Scorpion Technologies, Inc. was to pay SCAN-GRAPHICS, Inc. $2,000. As a result of the settlement, Scorpion paid the Company $1,430 through December 31, 1993, but defaulted in May 1993 on its obligation. As a result of Scorpion's default, in November 1993, the Company received the software product source codes and capitalized such for $695 which represented the remaining balance due from Scorpion. The value of the software was verified by an independent appraiser and was valued at $1,243. In March 1994, Scorpion turned over and the Company took possession of all Scorpion SGS8000 scanner technology which included all tangible and intangible assets
On November 20, 1995, an action was commenced against the Company seeking damages in excess of $117, for alleged fraud and breach of contract. On February 8, 1996, the Company answered the complaint, denying entitlement to recovery of any monies and counter-claiming for breach of contract and fraud. (See Note 11 to the Financial Statements)
During 1995, an action was filed against the Company through the International Arbitration Tribunal in Paris, France, claiming amounts due and damages for the Company's alleged failure to perform its obligations under a March 30, 1990 agreement. The Company has filed an answer to the complaint on February 30, 1996, asserting loss of profits from failure by the Plaintiff to forward sales orders for parts, maintenance and software.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Liquidity and Capital Resources (In Thousands)
At December 31, 1995, cash and cash equivalents decreased to $189, a $37 decrease compared to the December 31, 1994 amount of $226. At December 31, 1994, cash and cash equivalents increased to $226, a $84 increase compared to the December 31, 1993 amount of $142. The above changes in cash and cash equivalents are explained as follows in the cash flow from operating, investing and financing activities.
As of December 31, 1995, the cash flows from operating activities resulted in a net use of cash of $1,234 compared to the December 31, 1994 and December 31, 1993's use of cash of $138 and $375, respectively. The increase in the use of cash as of December 31, 1995, as compared to 1994 is primarily due to higher losses incurred, the increase in inventory and the payment of accrued bonuses. The decrease in the use of cash as of December 31, 1994 as compared to 1993 is primarily due to lower losses incurred, the increase in both accounts payable/accrued expenses and accrued bonuses.
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)
As of December 31, 1995, the cash flows from investing activities resulted in a net use of cash of $139 compared to the December 31, 1994 and 1993's use of cash of $29 and $224, respectively. The increase in the use of cash as of December 31, 1995, is due to no proceeds from the sale of property and equipment compared to the December 31, 1994, amount of $104. The decrease in the use of cash as of December 31, 1994, is due to the decrease in the purchase of property and equipment and the proceeds from the sale of property and equipment of $104 compared to $3 at December 31, 1993.
As of December 31, 1995, the cash flows from financing activities resulted in net cash provided by financing activities of $1,336 compared to the December 31, 1994 and 1993's cash provided of $251 and $257, respectively. The increase in cash provided is primarily due to the proceeds from the issuance of preferred stock of $1,050 and the proceeds from the exercise of common stock warrants/options of $444. There was a minimal decrease in the cash provided at December 31, 1994 as compared to December 31, 1993. In 1994, cash provided was primarily due to the proceeds from loans payable, officers and the issuance of long term debt as compared to 1993's proceeds from the issuance of stock and loans payable officers.
In 1995, the Company acquired the rights to develop and distribute a geospatial software product and acquired Tangent Engineering, Inc., a manufacturer of color document scanners. The Company is planning on raising additional capital through the private placement of its securities and/or the issuance of convertible notes. The use of these funds will be used for the further development of the geospatial software and the start-up of the Company's Technology Resource Center (TRC) which will be a document conversion and technology training center.
In connection with a $3,100,000 private placement of its securities in March 1996, the Company offered for sale 62 units, each of which consisted of a $50,000, 8% convertible note due March 28, 1997, 19,355 "A" warrants and 19,355 "B" warrants. The notes and any accrued interest are convertible within one year at a price per share equal to the lesser of $3.00 or 65% of the average closing bid price for the five days preceding conversion.
The warrants are exercisable immediately and expire in March 1999. The "A" warrants are exercisable at $3.00 per share or, if less, the lowest price per share at which any conversion shall have occurred under any of the convertible notes. The "B" warrants are exercisable at $4.00 per share. As of March 30, 1996, the Company has received proceeds amounting to $1,995,000. The proceeds will be used for working capital purposes and to fund the requirements of its subsidiary, Sedona GeoServices, Inc.
The Company believes that the proceeds from the private placement and funds generated from operations will be sufficient to meet the Company's working capital requirements for 1996.
Results of Operations (In Thousands)
Net Revenue in 1995 decreased to $4,987, a 1.6% decrease in revenue compared to the 1994 revenue of $5,067. This was a result of an decrease in license fees. Net revenue in 1994 increased to $5,067, a 32.0% increase in revenue compared to the 1993 revenue of $3,839. This increase occurred due to hardware sales.
The acquisitions during 1995 has significantly enhanced the product offering of the Company. The addition of color document scanners and geospatial software increase the Company's presence in the imaging market.
The percentage of total revenue for scanners and related services for years ended 1995, 1994 and 1993 was 93%, 91% and 85%, respectively. The percentage of total revenue for software and related services for years ended 1995, 1994 and 1993 was 5%, 2% and 2%, respectively. The percentage of total revenue for license fees for years ended 1995, 1994 and 1993 was 2%, 7% and 13%, respectively.
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)
The gross margin decrease in 1995 was a result of the increase in manufacturing costs of its monochrome document scanners due to lack of working capital. This resulted in the Company paying a premium for its cost of material and labor. The Company believes that this was a one-time event and costs of manufacturing will return to its appropriate level. The Company's gross margin percentages were 35%, 57% and 38% for years ended 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. The gross margin increase in 1994 compared to 1993 was a result of a decrease in sales of third party products which had a lower gross margin than the Company's manufactured products.
Research and Development Expenses: In the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, the Company had research and development expenses of $582, $783, and $770, respectively. Research and development expenses as a percentage of revenue in 1995, 1994 and 1993 were 11.7%, 15.5%, and 20.1%, respectively. The Company's engineering and software group is engaged in continuous research and development of its software and scanner products. The decrease in research and development expenses was due primarily to the reduction in software engineering expenses as a result of completing the development of certain products. While continuing its research and development, the Company due to its limited resources, will focus those resources on products which can be brought to market in a short time frame.
Sales and Marketing Expenses: Sales and Marketing expenses for years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993 totaled $1,388 $1,360, and $1,340, respectively. Sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of Revenue in 1995, 1994 and 1993 were 27.8%, 26.8% and 34.9%, respectively. The Company is continuing its efforts to market its products through increasing its advertising and promotion and developing distributor relationships.
Operating, General and Administrative Expenses: General and Administrative expenses for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993 totaled $985, $1,641, and $1,142, respectively. General and Administrative expenses decreased in 1995 compared to 1994 as a result of a reversal of an Accounts Receivable Reserve of $229 set-up in 1994 and 1993 for a potentially uncollectible account. An agreement with the customer was reached for the full amount in March 1995 to pay the receivable. General and Administrative as a percentage of revenue in 1995, 1994 and 1993 were 19.8%, 32.4% and 29.7%, respectively.
Other Income/Expense: Litigation Legal Fees for the year ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993 were $-0-, $42, and $39, respectively. These expenses are a result of the Company pursuing license fees owed to the Company per contractual obligations, patent infringement and a failed acquisition attempt.
Interest expense for years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993 were $44, $35, and $10, respectively. Interest expense increased in 1995, 1994 and 1993 due to the increase of the Company's Long Term Debt. As a result of the Company's losses in fiscal years 1995 and 1994 and prior years, the Company has borrowed money and has incurred varying amounts of interest expense.
Interest Income for years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993 was $2, $5, and $5, respectively. During 1995 and prior years interest income was earned on cash investments and sales type lease receivables.
Other Income for years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993 was $47, $120, and $7, respectively. The increase in other income in 1994 was due to the sale of equipment.
Other Expenses for years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993 were $27, $30, and $24, respectively. These expenses in 1995, 1994 and 1993 were primarily due to late payment charges.
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)
Stock-Based Compensation
In 1996, the Company will adopt SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." This standard establishes a fair value method for accounting for stock-based compensation plans either through recognition or disclosure. The Company intends to adopt this standard by disclosing the pro forma net income and earnings per share amounts assuming the fair value method was adopted on January 1, 1995. The adoption of this standard will not impact the Company's results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
Recoverability of Intangibles
The Company evaluates the recoverability of all intangibles annually, or more frequently whenever events and circumstances warrant revised estimates, and considers whether the intangibles should be completely or partially written off if the amortization period should be accelerated. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of," the Company assesses the recoverability of the intangibles based on undiscounted estimated future operating cash flows. As of December 31, 1995, the carrying value of the intangibles has been determined not to be impaired.
Inflation
Although inflation has resulted in an increase in certain operating costs during the past three years, management believes it has not had a material effect on the Company's results of operations or financial condition.

Report of Independent Certified Public Accountants
Scan-Graphics, Inc. and Subsidiaries Broomall, Pennsylvania
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Scan-Graphics, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995. We have also audited the schedule listed in the accompanying index. These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our audit. We did not audit the financial statements of Tangent Engineering, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary, which statements reflect total assets of $1,657,000 and $1,748,000 as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and total revenues of $3,023,000, $2,631,000 and $1,632,000 for the years ended 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. Those statements were audited by other auditors whose report has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for Tangent Engineering, Inc., is based solely on the report of the other auditors.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and schedule are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and schedule. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and schedule. We believe that our audits and the report of the other auditors provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, based on our audits and the report of the other auditors, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Scan-Graphics, Inc. and subsidiaries at December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
Also, in our opinion, the schedule presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.
