ITEM 1. BUSINESS

General

Founded in 1972, Scan-Graphics(R), Inc. is a provider of Geographic Information
Systems, (GIS) database management software products and is a leader in scanning
and image processing technology, large document scanners, backfile conversion
services, image software and systems, systems integration, and consulting. The
Company has key product development and marketing alliances with Oracle Systems
and with Sybase. Its products are marketed internationally by a variety of
systems integrators and distributors, especially its Scanner Division products.
With locations in suburban Philadelphia and Englewood, Colorado, the Company's
strategies are encompassed in three business units: Sedona GeoServices(TM),
Inc., the Scanner Division, and the Technology Resource Centers(TM), Inc. (TRC).

The Scanner Division provides large format monochrome and color scanning and
reprographics systems, servicing among others, the GIS and engineering markets.
A complete line of monochrome and grayscale large document scanners and imaging
software for multiple platforms and applications are manufactured at
Scangraphics corporate headquarters in Broomall, Pennsylvania. The color
scanners and related custom software are produced and distributed by Tangent(TM)
Engineering, Inc., of Englewood, Colorado, acquired in December of 1995 by the
Company. These products, marketed under the trade name Tangent(TM) Color
Systems, bring highly automated, easy to use, color map scanning technology to
the GIS and other markets. This capability will enhance the Company's growth
plans for Sedona GeoServices, Inc. as they bring their leading edge, open
architecture GIS software products to market.

Sedona GeoServices, Inc., acquired by the Company in July of 1995, is a
developer, integrator and distributor of sophisticated image, map and database
products and technology. The open-architecture, object-oriented data management
tools organize and manipulate geospatial objects such as maps, images and text
information within a single, user-intuitive Geographic Information System (GIS).
A GIS might combine such geographical data as elevation, waterways, roadways or
soil with demographic, socioeconomic, environmental or other types of data in
ways to facilitate analysis and display. Some of the uses for these systems are
map development, urban planning and management, emergency response, utilities
management, mining and natural resource explorations, transportation planning
and risk management, environmental services, global positioning systems, market
research and planning, aerial photography management, real estate and retail
cataloging. In addition, Sedona is developing mapping and data conversion
services for federal, state, and local governments/users, especially departments
of transportation, archives, and education (university level). In 1996, a number
of third party relationships were established to exploit these emerging markets.

The Technology Resource Centers, Inc. (TRC) was incorporated in February of 1996
with the purpose of providing an integrated approach to clients needs for
document scanning, conversion services, imaging systems consulting and systems
implementation. The TRC is concentrating on services that support imaging and
document management technologies and the integration of these applications with
other office processes such as accounting, information data bases, and project
controls. The cost of providing these services will be reduced by using
government and private sector funding such as enterprise zone and job training
programs, thus placing the TRC in a more competitive position in the market than
other service providers.

It should be noted that from the July, 1995 acquisition date of Sedona
GeoServices, Inc. through the first quarter of 1996, start-up operations have
been funded from Scanner Division cash flow and partially from the proceeds of a
$1.25 million private placement of the Company's convertible preferred stock
completed in September, 1995. Subsequent to that timeframe, Sedona's continued
product development and marketing efforts have been financed by a $3.1 million
private placement agreement for convertible debentures. See Item 7 of this
filing for further discussion of this financing.

Systems(TM) and Intrepid(TM), these products are targeted toward automated
mapping, reprographics, graphic arts, and photographic scanning/duplication
applications.

The key challenges facing the Scanner Division as it positions its products
going forward include a fuller exploitation of the high price and quality niche
markets for monochrome and color scanners, development of a lower cost line of
both monochrome and color units, and a broadening of its international
distribution systems. In addition, the Company will re-orient the marketing
focus of its scanner products from the defense to the commercial and industrial
sectors. Finally, Windows NT will be established as the primary operating system
and user interface.

Sedona GeoServices, Inc.

Sedona GeoServices, Inc. is the only Master Value Added Reseller authorized to
commercially package and distribute Lockheed Martin geospatial software products

Backlog (In Thousands)

The Scanner Division and Sedona Geoservices, Inc. held order backlogs of $634
and $33, respectively on February 28, 1997.

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 groups are engaged in continuing research and
development programs for its software and scanner products. The Scanner Division
efforts will be centered on development of lower cost, higher performance
hardware and porting existing software to the Windows NT environment. Sedona's
product development is focused on boosting the speed at which the Company can
create data, improving the quality and certification levels of the data, and
reducing data generation costs. In addition, Sedona is developing capabilities
to distribute both data and data management tools over the Internet.

Research and development expenses were $744, $582, and $783 for the years ended
December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, 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 years 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. Trademark costs of $4 were incurred in 1996.

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 business units sells its products and services through
independent, yet complimentary distribution systems, looking to leverage
synergistic opportunities across business unit channels.

The Scanner Division sells its monochrome and grayscale scanners and related
software through an expanding network of distributors, value added resellers,
system integrators, and direct sales personnel. Approximately 30 such resellers
are utilized worldwide. Tangent Engineering, Inc., sells its scanners and
software products internationally through distributors, manufacturers
representatives, and direct sales people. The Company is currently developing a
cohesive, reseller program integrating both the monochrome/grayscale and color

<PAGE>


ITEM 1. BUSINESS (Continued)


Sedona expects to derive significant benefit from various third party
relationships:

     * Sedona holds the rights to distribute in the commercial marketplace
       Lockheed Martin Management and Data Systems' GIS software and has agreed
       to cooperate with Lockheed Martin on large-scale systems integration
       projects of $5 million or more that involve the licensed products, and to
       provide any improvements or enhancements made to the licensed products to
       Lockheed Martin.

     * ESRI has accepted Sedona into its new Business Partner Program, which is
       designed to formalize relationships between ESRI and application
       developers, technology resellers, data publishers, systems integrators
       and consultants. Sedona's first joint product launch is its new SRV+
       automatic vectorizing engine that has been integrated within ESRI's
       ARC/INFO geographic information.

     * In 1996, Sedona was accepted into the Oracle Business Alliance Program.
       The companies plan to work together to implement open system solutions
       that use the new Spatial Data Option capabilities of Oracle's Universal
       Server.

     * Sedona has formed a business partnership with The Ohio State University
       Foundation whereby the Company acquired a worldwide exclusive license for
       the Digital Map Conversion Process technology developed by The Ohio State
       University Center for Mapping. A key feature of the technology is an
       increased ability to automatically convert traditional paper maps to high
       quality digital vector files, thereby significantly reducing costs in the
       production process. Other aspects of the business partnership include
       plans to jointly market current products and elevation data to states and
       Federal agencies.

     * Sedona is a Principal Member of the Open GIS Consortium, a Boston-based
       government, educational and industry-backed, not-for-profit membership
       organization promoting GIS interoperability. Other key members of the
       Consortium include Apple Computer, IBM, Intergraph, Lockheed Martin,
       Microsoft, Mitsubishi, Oracle and Sun Microsystems.

These strategic relationships are complementary to the distribution system
Sedona is constructing to sell commercial off the shelf products and/or license
technology.

The TRC markets its conversion, software, and consulting through numerous
federal, state, and local government agencies and commercial organizations.
Targets of opportunity are based on TRC expertise with large format documents
such as engineering drawings and maps. The TRC coordinates marketing programs
with the Scanner Division and Sedona GeoServices to capitalize on the large
niche markets related to manufacturing, engineering, and geographic information
systems.

Major Customers

The Company had one customer, 3M, during the years ended December 31, 1996 and
1995 which accounted for more than 10% of the Company's total sales revenue.
Total revenues for this one customer amounted to 14% in 1996 and 15% in 1995.


                                       7

ITEM 1. BUSINESS (Continued)

Competition

The Scanner Division's monochrome and grayscale hardware products compete in a
worldwide market estimated at $80 million. Two competitors, Contex and Vidar,
dominate almost ninety per cent of that market. The balance of market share is
divided among the Company and two other significant hardware manufacturers.

Tangent Color Systems products comprise a portion of a $15 million worldwide
market which is primarily shared with four other color scanner manufacturers. In
the areas of document imaging and image processing software, the Company
competes with numerous providers 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 and consultants. The
United States accounts for one half of the worldwide GIS market. Four companies
have made significant inroads into various segments of the market. One
competitor is the Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI), which is
dominant in providing GIS to local governments and has accepted Sedona into its
new Business Partner Program.

There are a number of organizations which offer services similar to those
offered by the TRC. However, the focus and objectives of the majority of these
vendors and providers is not toward a customer oriented, full service capability
that emphasizes meeting business objectives and implementation of systems
independent of specific vendor products. Although there appears to be
considerable competition, the size and growth potentials of this market will
support many more service providers. The competing scanning service providers,
product vendors, consultants, and resellers do not provide the total range of
planning, technical and systems analysis expertise, integration and
implementation skills, large document imaging and management experience and
customization that the TRC furnishes.

Suppliers

The Company is not dependent on any single supplier for components and
subassemblies in the manufacture of its products.

Manufacturing and GIS Software Development

The Company manufactures its large format scanners, scanner interfaces, and
related software products at its Broomall, Pennsylvania and Englewood, Colorado
facilities. Sedona GeoServices, Inc. maintains office space in Limerick,
Pennsylvania. Management believes that the facilities are adequate to fulfill
its current and near term needs given the current and projected sales levels.

Employees

As of December 31, 1996, the Company had sixty-eight full time employees. None
of these employees are represented by a labor union. The Company believes that
its relationships with its employees are satisfactory.

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.

                                       8
<PAGE>


ITEM 1. BUSINESS (Continued)

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. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY

The Company leases its corporate office and monochrome/grayscale scanner
manufacturing facility at 700 Abbott Drive, Broomall, Pennsylvania 19008. The
12,000 square foot site also houses the Technology Resource Centers. The current
lease was renewed on September 1, 1994 and continues through August 31, 1997
with an option to renew for two additional years. The color scanner facility is
located at 14 Inverness Drive East, Suite A-100, Englewood, Colorado 80112. The
current lease has a term of five years beginning on June 1, 1994 and ending on
May 31, 1999. Sedona GeoServices leases 2,793 feet of square feet of space in an
office building located at 649 North Lewis Road, Suite #220, Limerick,
Pennsylvania 19468. The current lease commenced July 1, 1996 and expires
September 30, 1999 with a two year renewal option. On January 15, 1997, an
additional 3,734 square feet was leased in the same building (Suite 210) for a
period of two years.

On November 18, 1996, the Company opened a sales office at Reston Plaza, 12030
Sunrise Valley Drive, Reston, Virginia 22091. The lease for this 2,439 square
feet of space expires on January 31, 2000.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS (In Thousands)

On August 15, 1996, the Company filed suit in the United States Federal Court
for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania for patent infringement against two
competitors who produce electronic image scanning equipment. The Company
believes the defendants are infringing one or more of three of its patents, and
has requested monetary damages in favor of the Company, as well as injunctive
relief. All defendants are denying any claim of infringement, and are vigorously
defending the claim on the merits. The defendants have also filed a counterclaim
against the Company, requesting that the patents be found invalid and other
relief. The case is presently in the discovery stage, with the trial not
scheduled before 1998.

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 filed an answer to the complaint on February 26, 1996,
asserting loss of profits from failure by the Plaintiff to forward sales orders
for parts, maintenance and software. Provision has been made in the accompanying
financial statements for this uncertainty.

On November 20, 1995, an action was commenced in the Court of Common Pleas,
Delaware County, Pennsylvania, 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. On January 8, 1997, this
action was settled at minimal expense to the Company.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
        AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Liquidity and Capital Resources (in Thousands)

At December 31, 1996, cash and cash equivalents increased to $1,081, an $892
increase compared to the December 31, 1995 amount of $189. At December 31, 1995,
cash and cash equivalents decreased $37 compared to the December 31, 1994,
amount of $226. The above changes in cash and cash equivalents are explained as
follows in the discussion of cash flows from operating, investing and financing
activities.

At December 31, 1996, the cash flows from operating activities resulted in a net
use of cash of $2,621 compared to the December 31, 1995 and December 31, 1994
uses of cash of $1,234 and $138, respectively. The increase of $1,387 in the use
of cash as of December 31, 1996, as compared to December 31, 1995, is primarily
due to higher losses incurred in funding the start up and development of Sedona
GeoServices and the Technology Resource Centers ($1,774 for 1996 versus $274 for
1995) and a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses ($446), offset by
reductions in inventory ($671). The $1,096 increase in the use of cash as of
December 31, 1995, as compared to December 31, 1994 was primarily due to higher
losses adjusted for non cash items such as depreciation ($98), higher increases
in inventories ($173), smaller increases in accounts payable and accrued
expenses ($224), accrual of bonuses of $400 in 1994 with payment in 1995 ($800),
and a higher decrease in deferred revenue ($210); all of which were favorably
offset by increased accounts receivable collections ($377).

As of December 31, 1996, the cash flows from investing activities resulted in a
net use of cash of $329 compared to the December 31, 1995 and 1994's uses of
cash of $139 and $29, respectively.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
        AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

Liquidity and Capital Resources:

The increase in the use of cash of $290 as of December 31, 1996, is due to the
purchase of property and equipment for the start up of Sedona GeoServices'
facility as offset by proceeds from the sale of Tangent demo scanners, compared
to the December 31, 1995, amount of $139. The increase in the use of cash as of
December 31, 1995, is due to the decrease to zero of the proceeds from the sale
of property and equipment of $104 at December 31, 1994.

As of December 31, 1996, the cash flows from financing activities resulted in
net cash provided by financing activities of $3,842 compared to the December 31,
1995 and 1994's cash provided of $1,336 and $251, respectively. The increase in
cash is due to the proceeds of a March 1996 private placement of $3,100 less
expenses of $300, in addition to increased funds from higher warrant/option
exercise activity ($1,197). The increase in cash provided from 1994 to 1995 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. In
1994, cash provided was primarily due to the proceeds from loans payable,
officers and the issuance of long term debt.

In connection with a $3,100 private placement purchase agreement in March 1996,
the Company sold 62 units of convertible debentures. Each unit consisted of a
$50, 8% convertible note due March 28, 1997, 19,355 "A" warrants and 19,355 "B"
warrants. The notes and any accrued interest were 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 (5) 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.

During the second and third quarters of 1996, all of the debentures, plus $7 in
accrued interest, were converted into 2,259,056 shares of common stock. As of
December 31, 1996, 542,841 of the 1,200,010 "A" warrants were exercised.

Promissory notes of certain officers and directors of the Company in the amount
of $1,378 given in exchange for exercise of warrants and options, have maturity
dates ranging from July 1998 through January 2003. Principal repayments of $217,
$309 and $309 will be received in 1998, 1999, and 2000, respectively; $181 will
be repaid in each of the years 2001 through 2003.

In January and February of 1997, stock warrants were exercised resulting in the
issuance of an additional 884,399 shares, of which 637,809 shares related to the
aforementioned "A" warrants of the private placement.

The Company is currently engaged in negotiation for a private placement purchase
agreement involving convertible debentures and anticipates a commitment shortly.
The funding is necessary to complete the roll-out of Sedona GeoServices, Inc.,
and the Technology Resource Centers, Inc., software and data conversion products
and related services.

The Company believes that the proceeds from this private placement and funds
generated from operations will be sufficient to meet the Company's working
capital requirements for 1997.

Results of Operations (In Thousands)

Net Revenue in 1996 increased to $5,060, a 1.5% increase in revenue compared to
the 1995 revenue of $4,987.

The percentage of total revenue for scanners and related services for years
ended 1996, 1995 and 1994 were 92%, 93%, and 91%, respectively. The percentages
of total revenue for software and related services for years ended 1996, 1995
and 1994 were 5%, 5%, and 2%, respectively.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
        AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS  (Continued)

The percentage of total revenue for license fees for years ended 1996, 1995 and
1994 was 3%, 2%, and 7%, respectively.

The gross margin decreased to $1,047 in 1996 from $1,740 in 1995, a drop of 40%.
This resulted from inventory write-offs for two discontinued product lines
($400) and the full amortization of software rights received in a litigation
settlement ($417).

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's gross margin percentages were 21%, 35%, and 57% for years ended 1996,
1995 and 1994, respectively.

Research and Development Expenses: In the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995
and 1994, the Company had research and development expenses of $744, $582, and
$783, respectively. Research and development expenses as a percentage of revenue
in 1996, 1995 and 1994 were 14.7%, 11.7%, and 15.5%, respectively. The 1996
increase in research and development was the result of increased personnel
engaged in the design of Sedona GeoServices geospatial software products. The
1995 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.

Sales and Marketing Expenses: Sales and Marketing expenses for years ended
December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 totaled $1,665, $1,388, and $1,360,
respectively. Sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of Revenue in 1996,
1995 and 1994 were 32.9%, 27.8%, and 26.8%, respectively. Increases are the
result of the hiring of sales management and personnel and related costs for
Sedona GeoServices, Inc. and for the Company's national sales office in Reston,
Virginia.

Operating, General and Administrative Expenses: General and Administrative
expenses for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 totaled $2,263,
$985, and $1,641, respectively. The general and administrative cost increases
resulted from the addition of key executive management personnel in each
subsidiary and in Corporate capacities. In addition, Sedona GeoServices ($535)
and TRC ($150) staffed or initiated their operations during 1996 and the Company
incurred $283 of non-cash consulting expense for warrants issued for
non-employee services. 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 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 percentages of revenue in 1996, 1995
and 1994 were 44.7%, 19.8%, and 32.4%, respectively.

Other Income/Expense: Litigation Legal Fees for the year ended December 31,
1996, 1995 and 1994 were $179, $-0-, and $42, respectively. These 1996 expenses
are a result of the Company defending the actions noted in Item 3 ($137),
pursuing license fees owed to the Company per contractual obligations, patent
infringements ($17), and the acquisition of Tangent Engineering ($25).

Interest expense for years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 was $432, $44
and $35, respectively. The Company incurred $270 of non-cash interest expense
for the issuance of warrants to note holders of the $3,100 private placement in
March of 1996. Interest expense of $93 was incurred on the $3,100 in private
placement debentures prior to their conversion in 1996.

Interest Income for years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 was $51, $2,
and $5, respectively. The increased interest was the result of the receipt of
the $3,100 in convertible debentures. During 1996 and prior years, interest
income was also earned on cash investments and sales type lease receivables.
Other Income for years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 was $-0-, $47 and
$120, respectively. The increase in other income in 1994 was due to the sale of
equipment.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
        AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS  (Continued)

Other Expenses for years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 were $86, $27,
and $30, respectively. These expenses in 1996, 1995 and 1994 were primarily due
to S-3 filing and late payment charges.

Stock-Based Compensation

During 1995, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123
("SFAS 123"), "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," which has recognition
provisions that establish a fair value based method of accounting for
stock-based employee compensation plans and established fair value as the
measurement basis for transactions in which an entity acquires goods or services
from non-employees in exchange for equity instruments. SFAS 123 also has certain
disclosure provisions. Adoption of the recognition provisions of SFAS 123 with
regard to these transactions with non-employees was required for all such
transactions entered into after December 15, 1995. The Company adopted these
provisions as required. The recognition provision with regard to the fair value
based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation plans is
optional. Accounting Principles Board Opinion No., 25 "Accounting for Stock
Issued to Employees" ("APB 25") uses what is referred to as an intrinsic value
based method of accounting. The Company has decided to continue to apply APB 25,
for its stock-based employee compensation arrangements. Accordingly, no
compensation cost has been recognized. In accordance with SFAS 123, the Company
disclosed the effects of employee stock options issued for the years ended
December 31, 1996 and 1995.

Earnings Per Share

On March 3, 1997, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No.
128, "Earnings per Share" ("SFAS 128"). This pronouncement is effective for
financial statements issued for periods ending after December 15, 1997 and
provides a different method of calculating earnings per share than is currently
used in accordance with APB 15, "Earning per Share." SFAS 128 provides for the
calculation of "Basic" and "Diluted" earnings per share. Basic earnings per
share includes no dilution and is calculated by dividing net income by the
common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects
the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of an
entity, similar to fully diluted earnings per share. The Company does not feel
that the adoption of SFAS 128 will have a material effect in 1997.

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, 1996, the carrying value of the
intangibles has been determined not to be impaired, and thus properly reflected
in the attached statements.

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, 1996 and 1995, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for
each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1996. 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 audits. We did not audit the 1995 and 1994 financial
statements of Tangent Engineering, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary, which
statements reflect total assets of $1,657,000 as of December 31, 1995, and total
revenues of $3,023,000 and $2,631,000 for the years ended December 31, 1995 and
1994, 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 reports 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 reports 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, 1996 and 1995, and the results of their operations
and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December
31, 1996, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Also, in our opinion, the schedule presents fairly, in all material respects,
the information set forth therein.

                              (In Thousands, Except Share and Per Share Amounts)

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Description of Business

Scan-Graphics, Inc. designs, manufactures and markets a comprehensive line
of automated imaging products and related software.

Principles of Consolidation

The Company's consolidated financial statements include the accounts of its
wholly-owned subsidiaries, Tangent Engineering, Inc., Sedona, Inc. and
Technology Resource Center, Inc.  All significant intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated.

Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or
market.

Property and Equipment, Depreciation and Amortization

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization are
computed on the straight-line method for financial reporting and income tax
purposes over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue from product sales is recognized at the time the equipment is shipped.
Revenue from non-contract maintenance services is recorded as performed.
Deferred revenue from maintenance contracts is recognized over the service
period of the contract. Revenue from royalty and licensing agreements is
recorded when earned.

Research and Development Costs and Software Production Costs

Costs incurred in the research and development of the Company's products are
expensed as incurred. Software production costs (once product is considered
feasible and a working model or detail design is completed) are capitalized and
amortized by using the greater of the ratio of actual current revenue recognized
over the total estimated revenue, or the straight-line method over the estimated
useful lives of the products, not to exceed five years.

Software Purchased

Software purchased is stated at cost. Amortization is computed by using the
greater of the ratio of actual current revenue recognized over the total
estimated revenue, or the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives
of the products, not to exceed five years.

                              (In Thousands, Except Share and Per Share Amounts)

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Loss Per Share

Loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss, adjusted for preferred
dividend requirements, by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding. Common stock equivalents are not included in the loss per share
computation because they are antidilutive.

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
or 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.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to credit risk
consist of cash equivalents and accounts receivable.

The Company's policy is to limit the amount of credit exposure to any one
financial institution and place investments with financial institutions
evaluated as being creditworthy. At December 31, 1996, the Company had bank
deposits which exceeded federally insured limits by approximately $957.
Concentration of credit risk, with respect to accounts receivable, is limited
due to the Company's credit evaluation process. The Company does not require
collateral from its customers. Although the Company has a diversified client
base, its customers consist primarily of distributors, governmental agencies and
large corporate entities.

                              (In Thousands, Except Share and Per Share Amounts)

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for cash, accounts and notes
receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and short-term debt
approximate fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturity of these
financial instruments. The carrying amount reported for long-term debt
approximates fair value because the underlying instruments are at variable rates
which are repriced frequently. The remaining long-term debt is based on quoted
market prices or where quoted market prices are not available on the present
value of cash flows discounted at estimated borrowing rates for similar debt
instruments.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under the liability method. Deferred tax
liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences and deferred tax
assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and tax loss and
credit carryforwards. A valuation allowance is established to reduce deferred
tax assets if some, or all, of such deferred tax assets are not likely to be
realized.

Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly
liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be
cash equivalents.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.  Business Combinations

On December 29, 1995, 1,000,000 common shares of Scan-Graphics, Inc. were issued
in exchange for all the outstanding common shares of Tangent Engineering, Inc.
("Tangent"), primarily a manufacturer of document imaging color scanners. The
acquisition was accounted for as a pooling of interests. Accordingly, Tangent's
operating results are included in the financial statements for all periods
presented.

On July 28, 1995, the Company acquired all of the outstanding common stock of
Sedona GeoServices, Inc. of Pennsylvania ("Sedona") and the rights to their
software in exchange for warrants to purchase up to 1,210,000 shares of the
Company's common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share. Sedona has the
exclusive rights to certain "Geographic Information System" software, which,
although requiring additional development, is expected to reach technological
feasibility in 1997. Warrants to purchase 160,000 shares vested immediately, and
the balance will vest as cumulative revenues from future sales of the software
reach levels specified in the acquisition agreement. As of December 31, 1996,
those levels had not been attained. Warrants which do not vest within five years
from the date of acquisition will be canceled. On July 28, 1995, the market
price for the Company's common stock was $1.78, but the fair value of the
warrants was considered to be insignificant.

2.  Inventories

Inventories are summarized as follows:

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In 1996, the carrying amount of the Company's software purchased was determined
to be impaired based on an analysis of the products undiscounted estimated
future operating cash flows. Therefore, the remaining amount of $556 was written
off and recorded in cost of goods sold.

7.  Stockholders' Equity

Class B Preferred Stock

Each share of the Company's Class B preferred stock is convertible at the
holder's option into ten shares of common stock. The holders of Class B
preferred stock are entitled to share in any dividends declared by the Board of
Directors on a pro-rata basis, without preference, with the holders of common
stock. Dividends are not cumulative. In liquidation, the only preference is for
the par value of the preferred shares.

Class A Preferred Stock

Series A and C

Class A preferred stock is issuable in various series and is convertible in
accordance to the issued series. The Board of Directors has the authority to fix
by resolution all other rights.

                              (In Thousands, Except Share and Per Share Amounts)

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Class A Series A preferred shares pay quarterly dividends at the rate of
twelve percent (12%) per annum, have cumulative rights and have a liquidation
preference at the par value of the preferred shares. Each share is convertible
at the election of the holder into one share of common stock at any time. Each
holder has the same right to vote each share on all corporate matters as the
holder of one share of common stock.

The Class A Series C preferred shares pay quarterly dividends at the rate of
eight percent (8%) per annum, have cumulative rights and have a liquidation
preference for the par value of the preferred shares. Each share is convertible
at the election of the holder after twenty-four months from date of issue into
shares of common stock at a 50% discount from the "Market Price" (closing bid
price for the day) average for the twenty trading days preceding notice of
conversion, but not less than $.50 per share or more than $2.50 per share of
common stock. The Company has the right to force conversion to common stock upon
thirty days written notice after thirty-six months from date of issue. Each
share of Class A, Series C represents twenty (20) shares of common stock in
voting power in matters brought before the shareholders.


Common Stock

On December 29, 1995, the Company issued 1,000,000 shares for all the shares
outstanding of Tangent Engineering, Inc. in a pooling of interests business
combination (see Note 1).

In connection with a $3,100 private placement purchase agreement in March 1996,
the Company sold 62 units of convertible debentures. Each unit consisted of a
$50, 8% convertible note due March 28, 1997, 19,355 "A" warrants and 19,355 "B"
warrants. The notes and any accrued interest were 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 which was determined, based on an
appraisal, to reflect estimated fair value of the common stock at the date of
the transaction.

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. The warrants had an
estimated, based on an appraisal, fair value of $270,000. This amount was

reflected as a debt discount. Upon the conversion of the notes to stock (see
below), this amount was charged to interest expense within the 1996 statement of
operations. As of December 31, 1996, 542,841 of the 1,200,010 "A" warrants were
exercised.

During the second and third quarters of 1996, all of the debentures, plus $7 in
accrued interest, were converted into 2,259,056 shares of common stock.

During December 1996, 260,000 stock options and 839,300 stock warrants were
exercised for $366 and $1,315, respectively, by certain officers and directors
of the Company in exchange for promissory notes and promissory demand notes. The
notes bear an interest rate of 8.25%. The promissory notes, together with
accrued interest, have maturity dates ranging from July 1998 through January
2003. The loans are secured by 839,300 shares of the Company's common stock.
Company intends to collect all amounts under these notes. The promissory demand
notes, together with accrued interest, were paid in full during February and
March 1997.

Dividends Declared

During 1996, the Board of Directors declared preferred dividends on the
Company's Class A Series A and Series C preferred stock payable on a quarterly
basis as due. Dividends for 1996 totalled $220.

During 1995, the Board of Directors declared preferred dividends on the
Company's Class A Series A and Series C preferred stock payable on a quarterly
basis as due. Dividends for 1995 totalled $158. $10 of the accrued dividends was
paid during 1996.

During 1994, the Board of Directors declared preferred dividends on the
Company's Class A Series A and Series C preferred stock payable on a quarterly
basis as due. Dividends for 1994 totalled $120 of which all were paid during
1995.

Options and Warrants

Long-Term Incentive Plan

On June 12, 1992, at the Company's Annual Meeting, the stockholders of the
Company approved a Long-Term Incentive Plan for the issuance of options for the
purchase of up to 1,000,000 restricted common stock shares in the aggregate, or
such other number of shares as are subsequently approved by the Company's

stockholders. The shares related to the unexercised or undistributed portion of
any terminated, expired or forfeited award will also be made available for
distribution in connection with future grants under the Plan.

The Long-Term Incentive Plan provides for the granting of both incentive stock
options intended to qualify under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, and non-qualified stock options which do not so qualify. Unless the Plan
is terminated earlier by the Board of Directors, the Plan will terminate in

The Company is obligated to purchase 334,000 options and 620,908 warrants from
two (2) officers and seven (7) employees of the Company in the event of change
of control of the Company or termination of employment for breach of contract or
convenience at a cash purchase price equal to the amount of the aggregate fair
market value of the shares, less the aggregate option/warrant price of such
shares. As of December 31, 1996, the market value exceeded the aggregate
option/warrant price by approximately $3.3 million.

During 1995, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123
("SFAS 123"), Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", which has recognition
provisions that establish a fair value based method of accounting for
stock-based employee compensation plans and established fair value as the
measurement basis for transactions in which an entity acquires goods or services
from nonemployees in exchange for equity instruments. SFAS 123 also has certain
disclosure provisions. Adoption of the recognition provisions of SFAS 123 with
regard to these transactions with nonemployees was required for all such
transactions entered into after December 15, 1995. The Company adopted these
provisions as required. The recognition provision with regard to the fair value
based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation plans is
optional. Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 "Accounting for Stock
Issued to Employers" ("APB 25") uses what is referred to as an intrinsic value
based method of accounting. The Company has decided to continue to apply APB 25,
for its stock-based employee compensation arrangements. Accordingly, no
compensation cost has been recognized. The Company estimates the fair value of
each stock option at the grant date by using the Black-Scholes option-pricing
model with the following weighted-average assumptions used for grants in 1996
and 1995, respectively: no dividends paid for all years; expected volatility of
35%; risk-free interest rates range from 5.25% to 7.81%; and expected lives
range from .77 to 10.00 years. Had compensation cost for the Company's employee
stock options and warrants been determined based on the fair value at the grant
date for such awards consistent with the method of SFAS 123, the Company's net
loss and loss per share would have been increased to the

10.  Litigation Settlements

On August 15, 1996, the Company filed suit for patent infringement against two
competitors. The defendants filed a counterclaim against the Company, requesting
that the patents be found invalid. The Company plans to vigorously litigate the
matter. The case is presently in the discovery stage, with the trial not
scheduled before 1998. No provision has been made in the accompanying financial
statements related to this uncertainty.

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. On January 8,
1997, this action was settled at minimal expense to the Company, and that
expense was reflected within the 1996 statement of operations.

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 filed an answer to the complaint on February 26, 1996,
asserting loss of profits from failure by the plaintiff to forward sales orders
for parts, maintenance and software. A $90 provision has been made in the
accompanying financial statements related to this uncertainty.

11.   Related Party Transactions

The Company leases its principal office and one of its manufacturing facilities
from a corporation which is owned by the chief executive officer of the Company.
This operating lease, which continues through August 31, 1997 with an option to
renew for an additional two years, provides for the payment of an annual base
rental of $96 and excess real estate taxes. Rent expense charged to operations
was $96 for each of the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994.

The Company incurred consulting and commission fees, and out-of-pocket expenses
of $259, $73 and $390 for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994,
respectively, to a company owned by a director of the Company. Commissions, plus
out-of-pocket expenses, were incurred for investment banking type services and
other agreed-upon duties provided to the Company.

The Company issued stock warrants to purchase 170,000 shares of the Company's
common stock to directors of the Company for services rendered during 1996. The
warrants were issued with an exercise price of $3.00 per share, expiring through
April 30, 2001 and immediately vesting upon issuance. Of the 170,000 warrants,
20,000 were issued at an exercise price below the Company's market value. As of
December 31, 1996, none of these warrants were exercised.

12.   Profit-Sharing Plan

A subsidiary of the Company has a qualified profit sharing/401(k) plan (the
Plan) available to all eligible employees. Contributions to the 401(k) portion
of the Plan are matched by the Company equal to 100% of voluntary contributions
by individual participants, limited to 3% of the individual participant's annual
pay. Annual profit sharing contributions to the Plan are at the discretion of
the Board of Directors.

The total amount charged to operations under the plan was $35, $83 and $92 for
the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995, and 1994, respectively.

13.   Commitments and Contingencies

The Company has employment agreements with certain key employees which expire at
various dates through December 1998. The agreements provide for minimum salary
levels, plus any additional compensation as directed by the Board of Directors.
The commitment for future salaries at December 31, 1996 is $563 for 1997, $350
for 1998 and $375 for 1999.

In addition, the Company will be obligated to pay one to two years of annual
salary to certain officers and employees of the Company if the Company is
acquired or merged and the acquirer chooses to terminate their services. The
aggregate potential severance pay at December 31, 1996 was $940.

The Company is obligated under a royalty agreement to make future minimum
payments as follows:
