Item 1.  Changes in Control of Registrant.

         On February 17, 1999, the  transactions  contemplated  by the Agreement
and Plan of Merger (as amended and restated on November  13,  1998,  the "Merger
Agreement")  among Labtec Inc., a  Massachusetts  corporation  formerly known as
Spacetec IMC  Corporation  (the  "Company"),  SIMC  Acquisition  Corporation,  a
Delaware  corporation and wholly-owned  subsidiary of the Company ("SIMC"),  and
Labtec Corporation,  a Delaware  corporation formerly known as Labtec Inc. ("Old
Labtec"), were consummated.

         A copy of the Merger  Agreement was filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Current
Report on Form 8-K of the  Company  dated  October  21,  1998 and filed with the
Securities and Exchange  Commission (the "Commission") on November 17, 1998 (the
"Initial  8-K").  Copies of the press  releases of the Company dated October 21,
1998 (the "October  Press  Release") and November 5, 1998 (the  "November  Press
Release")  were filed as Exhibit  99.1 and Exhibit  99.3,  respectively,  to the
Initial 8-K. The Merger  Agreement,  the October  Press Release and the November
Press Release are hereby  incorporated herein by reference as Exhibits 2.1, 99.1
and 99.2, respectively.

         Pursuant to the Merger  Agreement,  on February 17,  1999,  among other
things,  (a) SIMC  merged  into  Old  Labtec  (the  "Merger"),  with Old  Labtec
continuing as the surviving  corporation  and a  wholly-owned  subsidiary of the
Company;  (b) the Company amended its articles of organization to (i) change its
name to "Labtec Inc.", (ii) increase the total number of shares of the Company's
common stock, par value $.01 per share ("Company Common Stock"),  authorized for
issuance from 20,000,000 to 25,000,000 and (iii) effect a one-for-three  reverse
split of all  shares of  Company  Common  Stock  then  outstanding;  and (c) the
Company created a new subsidiary to hold all non-cash assets and all liabilities
of the Company.  Except as expressly  set forth  herein,  each  reference to the
shares of Company  Common  Stock refers to such shares on a  post-reverse  split
basis.

         As a result  of the  Merger,  (a) the  holder  of each  share of Labtec
Common Stock outstanding at the effective time of the Merger received  .18476913
shares of Company  Common Stock and (b) each holder of Old Labtec stock  options
outstanding  at the  effective  time of the Merger  received  options to acquire
 .18476913  shares of Company Common Stock for each option to purchase a share of
Old Labtec's common stock.

         In  connection  with the Merger,  the  stockholders  of Old Labtec were
issued shares of Company  Common Stock,  representing  approximately  67% of the
outstanding shares of Company Common Stock immediately  following the Merger. As
set forth in the beneficial ownership table below, Sun Multimedia Partners, L.P.
("Partners")   became  the  beneficial  owner  of  approximately  51.8%  of  the
outstanding shares of Company Common Stock immediately following the Merger. Sun
Multimedia Advisors,  Inc. ("Advisors"),  Rodger R. Krouse and Marc J. Leder may
be deemed the beneficial owner of such shares.

                                       -2-

         At a special  meeting of  stockholders  of the Company held on February
17, 1999, four directors  nominated by the Company and eight directors nominated
by Old Labtec were elected to the Company's  Board of Directors  (the  "Board").
The Board is divided  into four Class I Directors,  four Class II Directors  and
four Class III  Directors,  who will serve initial terms of one year,  two years
and three  years,  respectively.  Directors  elected at each  subsequent  annual
meeting of  stockholders  of the Company  will be elected to serve for a term of

the initial Class II Directors and three of the initial Class III Directors. The
Company nominated one of the initial Class I Directors, two of the initial Class
II Directors and one of the initial Class III Directors.

Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

         (a) Pursuant to the Merger, the Company acquired all of the outstanding
capital stock of Old Labtec in exchange for approximately 4.62 million shares of
Company  Common  Stock  that were  issued  to the  stockholders  of Old  Labtec,
allocated  pro rata  among the  stockholders  of Old  Labtec  based  upon  their
respective  ownership of Old Labtec  prior to  consummation  of the Merger.  The
terms of the Merger were  determined  in  arms-length  negotiations  between the
Company and Old Labtec.

         Pursuant to the Merger,  Old Labtec's  stockholders  received rights to
receive  a  pro-rata  portion  (based  on  each  holder's  proportionate  equity
interests in Old Labtec) of principal and interest  payments to be made under an
unsecured  promissory  note  issued by the  Company in the  principal  amount of
$1,065,000.  The note is subordinated to all  institutional  indebtedness of the
Company,  bears  interest  payable  quarterly at the rate of 10% per annum,  and
matures  six years  from  completion  of the  Merger,  at which  time the entire
principal amount of the note will become due and payable.

         The Merger  Agreement  provided  that  holders of Labtec  Common  Stock
outstanding  at the  effective  time of the Merger would also receive  rights to
receive additional shares of Company Common Stock ("Contingent Shares") that may
be issued based on a valuation or sale, on or prior to December 31, 1999, of the
Company's  industrial  CAD/CAM business which is below $6,000,000 in value. Such
rights to  Contingent  Shares were waived by Old Labtec  prior to the closing of
the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

         The  description  of the Merger  Agreement in Item 1 and Item 2 of this
Current  Report on Form 8-K is  qualified  in its  entirety by  reference to the
Merger Agreement incorporated herein by reference.

         Prior to consummation of the Merger,  the Company did not  beneficially
own, directly or indirectly, any voting securities of Old Labtec, apart from any
beneficial  ownership  interest  it may have had from  entering  into the Merger
Agreement.

         (b)  Through its  acquisition  of Old  Labtec,  the Company  acquired a
developer and marketer of  high-technology,  multimedia  peripheral products for
the personal computer industry.
