NEW YORK, NEW YORK, October 18, 1999 - Imaging Components Corporation ("ICC"),
Imaging Acquisition Corporation ("IAC"), DICOM GROUP plc (LSE: DCM) and
Dresdner Kleinwort Benson Private Equity Partners LP announced today that ICC
has completed its acquisition of Kofax Image Products, Inc. (NASDAQ: KOFX)
("Kofax"). The acquisition was completed through the merger of ICC's wholly
owned subsidiary, IAC, with and into Kofax. The merger follows ICC's

Under the terms of the merger, all remaining Kofax stockholders, except for
certain stockholders as described in the Merger Agreement between the parties,
will receive, without interest, $12.75 in cash upon surrender of the
certificates for their shares to The Bank of New York, as Paying Agent. A

mailed promptly to all remaining holders of record of shares of Kofax common
stock. In connection with the merger, Kofax will terminate its obligation to
file reports and other documents with the Securities and Exchange Commission
and delist its shares from the Nasdaq National Market.

As a result of the merger, Kofax is now a wholly owned subsidiary of ICC.
Kofax's business will continue to operate under the name Kofax Image Products,
Inc.
