                                 RISK FACTORS
          
HISTORY OF LOSSES 

   
        As of December 31, 1994, the Company had an accumulated deficit of 
$18,573,000.  The Company sustained net losses of $510,000 and $1,026,000 in 
fiscal 1994 and 1993, respectively.  The Company's losses during 1994 were 
attributable primarily to selling, general and administrative expenses rising 
more rapidly than revenues.  The Company's losses during 1993 were attributable 
to, among other things, the recession and economic uncertainty in both the 
United States and Western Europe, which resulted in delays or cancellations of  
capital investments by customers, and insufficient investment in the Company's 
research and development which resulted in an inadequate flow of new products.  
In addition, the Company's 1994 and 1993 losses were increased by $469,000 and 
$541,000 in expenses, respectively, related to work force reductions.  The 
$541,000 in expense incurred in 1993 was related to the former President's 
severance package.  As part of its strategic plan to adapt to present economic 
conditions and market demands, the Company is restructuring its current 
internal operations, including a reduction in the Company's work force 
effected in the second quarter of 1994, increasing its research and 
development activities, and attempting to expedite the introduction of new
products to the market.  IN 1994, THE COMPANY INTRODUCED THE OMNI CIX, AN
OMNIDIRECTIONAL LASER SCANNER CAPABLE OF SCANNING BAR CODES AT ALL ANGLES FROM
ABOVE A CONVEYOR, AND THE CIPRO 710 AND 715 MINIATURE FIXED POSITION BAR CODE
SCANNERS.  IN ADDITION, DURING 1995 THE COMPANY HAS ALREADY INTRODUCED TWO
SIGNIFICANT NEW PRODUCTS; THE  CIMAX (TM) 7500, AN INTELLIGENT, FIXED POSITION
LASER SCANNER, AND THE  CIMAX 6000, AN OPEN SYSTEMS BASED DATA COLLECTION
TERMINAL.  THE COMPANY'S strategic plan is aimed at achieving net savings of
$2,000,000 over the twelve months ending June 30, 1995.  Although the Company
believes that it is properly addressing the issues giving rise to the above
losses, there can be no assurances that Company will not incur losses in the
future.

    

        CASH POSITION AND NEEDS 

        The Company's cash position at  December 31, 1994 was $755,000.  This
was a decrease of $919,000 from December 31, 1993.  If the Company's operations
are not profitable, the Company may not have sufficient working capital to fund
its continuing operations and planned capital expenditures.  There can be no 
assurance that the Company will be profitable in the future.  See "RISK FACTORS 
- - History of Losses".  With the exception of two relatively small equipment 
leases, the Company is free of interest bearing debt.  The Company currently 
has two bank lines of credit available for an aggregate of $1,150,000.  As of 
December 31, 1994, there was no outstanding balance under  such lines of 
credit.  In the event the Company were to require additional capital, no 
assurance can be given that financing would be available to the Company on 
favorable terms, if at all.  If additional capital is not available when 
needed, the Company's business would be adversely affected.

<PAGE>   5
         
        DEPENDENCE ON KEY PERSONNEL 
   
        The success of the Company is dependent to a significant extent on the 
services of THOMAS J. CHISHOLM, Vice President of Research and Development of 
the Company.  There could be a material adverse effect on the Company's results 
of operations if MR. CHISHOLM were no longer employed by the Company.  There
can be no assurance that the Company would be able to locate an effective new
Vice President of Research and Development in a timely manner in the event that 
Mr. Chisholm's employment with the Company terminated.  THE COMPANY HAS NOT
IN THE PAST CONTEMPLATED AND IS NOT NOW CONTEMPLATING PURCHASING KEY MAN LIFE
INSURANCE ON MR. CHISHOLM'S LIFE. 

    

        POSSIBLE VOLATILITY OF STOCK PRICE 

        The market price of the Company's Common Stock may be volatile.  
Factors such as quarter to quarter variations in the Company's revenues and 
earnings and announcements of technological innovations or new products by the 
Company's competitors, customers or suppliers could cause the market price of 
the Company's Common Stock to fluctuate significantly.  In addition, in recent 
years the stock markets in general, and the market prices for high technology 
companies in particular, have experienced significant volatility, which often 
may be unrelated to the operating performance of the affected companies.  Such 
volatility may, from time to time, adversely affect the market price of the 
Company's Common Stock.

        TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCES 

        The future success of the Company will depend, to a significant extent,
on its ability to develop, manufacture profitably and deliver on a timely
basis, technologically advanced, quality products.  The Company's ability to
develop technologically advanced products depends substantially upon its having 
profitable operations.  There can be no assurance that the Company's operations 
will be profitable in the future.  See "RISK FACTOR'S - History of Losses".  
There can be no assurance that the Company's direct or indirect competitors, 
several of which have greater resources than the Company, will not succeed in 
developing new technologies or improvements to existing technologies  which 
would render the Company's technology less competitive or obsolete.

        FOREIGN SALES 

        Foreign Sales accounted for approximately 52%, 57% and 48% of the
Company's revenues for fiscal 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively.  As a result,
a significant portion of the Company's revenues are subject to risks associated 
with foreign sales.  These risks include United States and foreign regulatory 
requirements, currency fluctuations, policy changes, political and economic 
instability and difficulties in managing foreign distributors and 
representatives.  Changes in the value of the United States dollar in relation 
to foreign currencies may also adversely affect the Company's sales to foreign 
customers.  THE COMPANY ENGAGES IN HEDGING TRANSACTIONS FROM TIME TO TIME IN 
ORDER TO ATTEMPT TO LESSEN THE RISK OF CURRENCY FLUCTUATIONS.  THE COMPANY'S 



                                    - 4 -
<PAGE>   6

HEDGING ACTIVITIES HAVE INVOLVED ONLY ENTERING INTO FORWARD CONTRACTS WITH 
RESPECT TO FOREIGN CURRENCIES.  THE COMPANY HAS NOT ENGAGED IN ANY HEDGING 
TRANSACTIONS DURING THE PRECEDING TWELVE MONTH PERIOD.  

                          DESCRIPTION OF THE COMPANY
 
        Founded in 1968, the Company designs, manufactures, markets and 
services standard bar code products and systems for the data collection and
material handling/industrial markets.  The Company markets its products
in the United States through its direct sales organization and through value
added resellers.  As an international organization, the Company and its foreign
subsidiaries have sales and service offices located in Canada, Belgium, France,
Germany and the United Kingdom as well as a network of distributors and systems
integrators in locations throughout the world.

                             SELLING STOCKHOLDERS
 
        On July 25, 1994, the Company filed a Registration Statement on 
Form S-8 (the "Form S-8") to register the shares of Common Stock issuable upon 
exercise of options granted under the Plan.   The Common Stock being 
registered hereunder was issued to the Selling Stockholders prior to the 
effective date of the Form S-8, and, consequently, such shares of Common Stock 
were not registered on the Form S-8.  The purpose of this Prospectus is to 
register for resale by the Selling Stockholders the shares of Common Stock
issued to the Selling Stockholders pursuant to the exercise of options granted
under the Plan. The  purpose of this Prospectus is to provide the Selling
Stockholders with the same benefits afforded to other recipients of options
under the Plan by virtue of the Form S-8.  To the Company's knowledge, none of
the Selling Stockholders has made any arrangements to sell any shares at this
time.

        The following table sets forth the name and relationship with the
Company of each Selling Stockholder and the number of shares of Common Stock
that each Selling Stockholder (i) owned of record as of March 31, 1995, (ii)
the maximum number of shares of Common Stock which may be offered for the
account of the Selling Stockholder under this Prospectus and (iii) the amount
and percentage of Common Stock to be owned by the Selling Stockholder after
completion of the offering, assuming the sale of all the Common Stock which may
be offered hereunder.

                             PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
          
        Depending upon market conditions and other factors, the Selling
Stockholders  may sell any of the shares of Common Stock from time to time.  
The price and manner of sale are in the sole discretion of the Selling
Stockholders.  The shares of Common Stock may be offered through any of several
methods, such as ordinary brokerage transactions or block transactions through
the National Association of Securities Dealers' Automated Quotation National
Market System, transactions in the over-the-counter market or in privately
negotiated transactions at prices agreed upon by the parties.  Neither the
Company nor, to the best of the Company's knowledge, any of the Selling
Stockholders has any agreement, arrangement or understanding with any broker or
dealer with respect to the sale of the Common Stock offered hereby.
         
                                USE OF PROCEEDS
          
        The proceeds from the sale of the shares of Common Stock to which this 
Prospectus relates will be the property of the Selling Stockholders and will be 
utilized by them as they see fit.  No part of the proceeds will be received by 
the Company.

                     DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION ON
                INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES
          
        Section 67 of Chapter 156B of the Massachusetts General Laws permits 
the indemnification of directors and officers to the extent authorized by the 
Articles of Organization or By-Laws of a corporation or by a vote of the 
stockholders.  Except as otherwise provided by the Articles of Organization or 
By-Laws, indemnification of persons who are not directors of a corporation may 
be provided to the extent authorized by the directors.  No indemnification may 
be provided for any person with respect to any matter as to which he/she shall 
have been adjudicated in any proceeding not to have acted in good faith in the 
reasonable belief that his/her action was not in the best interest of the 
corporation.
         
        Article VI of the Company's By-Laws provides in pertinent part that the 
Company may indemnify any person who was or is a party or was threatened to be 
made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in 
the right of the Company to procure a judgment in the Company's favor by 
reason of the fact that he is or was serving as a director, officer, employee or
agent of the Company (including an underwriter of its securities) or is
or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee
or agent of another corporation or entity, and that the Company may indemnify
such person who was or is a party or was threatened to be made a party to any
threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he is or
was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company (including an
underwriter of its securities) or is or was serving at the request of the
Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or
entity.
         
        Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the 
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons 
of the Company pursuant to the Company's ByLaws, or otherwise, the Company has 
been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is 
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and is, therefore, 
unenforceable.

Item 17.  Undertakings
         
    (a)  The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
         
         (1)  To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being 
   made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
         
              (i)    To include any  material information with respect to the 
   plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this registration 
   statement or any material change to such information in this 
   registration statement;
         
         (2)  That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the 
   Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a 
   new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and 
   the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the 
   initial bona fide offering thereof.

         (3)  To remove from registration by means of a post-effective 
   amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the 
   termination of the offering.
         
         (4)  That, for purposes of determining any liability under the 
   Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report 
   pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 
   that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be 
   deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered 
   therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to 
   be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
         
   (b) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities 
   Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the 
   Company pursuant to the

<PAGE>   12

  Company's By-Laws, or otherwise, the Company has been advised that in the 
  opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as 
  expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the 
  event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than   
  the payment by the Company of expenses incurred or paid by a director,
  officer or controlling person of the Company in the successful defense of any
  action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or
  controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the
  Company will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
  settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
  jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against
  public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the
  final adjudication of such issue.
