Item 1.       Changes in Control of Registrant.
Item 2.       Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

         On June 7, 2000, Imatec Ltd., a Delaware corporation (the
"Registrant"), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a Current
Report on Form 8-K, announcing that as of May 26, 2000, the Registrant, through
its wholly-owned subsidiary, Sequel Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware
corporation ("SAC"), had entered into an asset purchase agreement (the "Asset
Purchase Agreement") with Sequel Technology Corporation, a Washington
corporation ("Sequel"), whereby SAC will acquire (the "Acquisition")
substantially all of the properties and assets, the business and goodwill of
Sequel, including the intellectual property and technology of Sequel, and assume
approximately $1.4 million of liabilities in exchange for 15,000,000 shares of
common stock, par value $.0001 per share, of the Registrant ("Registrant Common
Stock"). Such number of shares of Registrant Common Stock was subject to
adjustment in the event that Sequel should consummate a private offering prior
to the closing of the Acquisition. The Asset Purchase Agreement was amended as
of July 19, 2000 (the "Amendment"), to provide for, among other things, a
two-for-one stock split of the outstanding Registrant Common Stock prior to the
Acquisition and the assumption by the Registrant of approximately $800,000 of
liability of Sequel.

         The transactions contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement closed
(the "Closing") effective October 20, 2000 (the "Closing Date"). Based upon the
closing sale price for the Registrant Common Stock on the Closing Date and the
total amount of liabilities assumed by the Registrant, the Registrant estimates
that the value of the Acquisition is approximately $6,418,000.

         As a result of the Closing the directors and officers of the Registrant
prior to the Closing have resigned and, as set forth in the Information
Statement pursuant to Rule 14f-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the "Exchange Act"), heretofore provided to the holders of Registrant
Common Stock, the individuals identified herein have been elected as the
directors and officers of the Registrant.

         Subject to the immediately preceding sentence, at the date hereof and
prior to the aforementioned stock split, the authorized capital stock of the
Registrant consists of 20,000,000 shares of Registrant Common Stock, of which
4,080,201 are outstanding (on a fully-diluted basis on the date hereof), and
2,000,000 shares of undesignated classes or series of preferred stock, par
$.0001 per share ("Registrant Preferred Stock"), of which 150,000 shares are
outstanding ("Series A Convertible Preferred Stock"). Pursuant to the Amendment,
subject to a number of conditions, the outstanding Registrant Common Stock
immediately prior to the Acquisition will be split two-for-one following the
Acquisition.

         Following the closing of the Acquisition, the Registrant intends to
amend its certificate of incorporation to increase its authorized capitalization
to 40,000,000 shares of Registrant Common Stock; the authorized capitalization
of Registrant Preferred Stock will remain unchanged at 2,000,000 shares.

<PAGE>

         Following the closing of the Acquisition, the Registrant anticipates
that 24,500,000 shares of Registrant Common Stock, and 150,000 shares of Series
A Convertible Preferred Stock (each convertible into ten shares of Registrant
Common Stock and voting with the Registrant Common Stock as one class on an as
converted basis), will be outstanding and entitled to vote in an election of
directors.
