SUMMARY
This Summary does not contain all the information provided by this
Prospectus, some of which may be important to you. You should carefully read the
entire Prospectus and incorporated documents before you decide to buy any
Shares.
THE COMPANY
Mark designs, manufactures and installs modular steel cells for
correctional institution construction and develops software application under
the name "IntraScan II" for medical diagnostic, picture, archiving and
communication computer systems (PACS).
Mark markets its modular steel products through public bids and by pursuing
joint ventures and affiliations with other companies to solicit design, build
and/or operate correctional facilities projects both domestically and
internationally. Management believes that nationwide emphasis on easing
overcrowded conditions in correctional institutions presents a significant
growth opportunity; however, there can be no assurance of sustained business.
Mark's modular cells can be manufactured and installed more efficiently
than traditional housing alternatives by virtue of lower labor and construction
costs and shorter installation time.
Mark markets its IntraScan PACS software to radiology departments, large
healthcare facilities, hospitals and outpatient imaging group practices,
primarily through a marketing agreement with Data General Corporation.
Management believes that it can capitalize on the development of the domestic
and international PACS market; however, there can be no assurance that
significant business will develop.
The IntraScan PACS software interfaces with medical imaging devices to
store and recall images digitally from modalities including x-ray, CAT Scan,
MRI, ultrasound, computed radiography and nuclear medicine. The IntraScan PACS
software is "platform independent" allowing the software to operate with most
computer hardware and operating systems.
Mark is a Delaware corporation formed in 1986 under the name "Showcase
Cosmetics, Inc.". Mark's principal executive offices are located at 1515 Broad
Street, Bloomfield, New Jersey 07003 and its phone number is (973) 893-0500.

RISK FACTORS
The securities of Mark involve a high degree of risk. Mark has historically
had operating losses and related working capital deficiencies. To date, sales of
its modular steel cells has been sporadic and sales of its IntraScan PACS system
have been immaterial. See "Risk Factors" beginning on Page 5.

<PAGE>
RISK FACTORS
Before you make a decision to purchase any of the Shares, you should
carefully read and consider the following risks.
1. Poor Financial Condition. Mark has significant operating losses and
working capital and liquidity deficiencies over the past several years. Mark had
net losses of $1,710,000 and $2,388,099 for the fiscal years ended June 30, 1999
and 1998. In addition, Mark had an accumulated deficit of $31,917,000 at June
30, 1999. Mark has and will continue to experience financial difficulties unless
there is a significant increase in the sale of modular cells and/or IntraScan
PACS systems. Based on past operating results there can be no assurance that
Mark will be able to operate profitably. Mark's poor financial condition could
adversely affect its ability to raise additional working capital pursuant to
private sales of its securities.
2. Working Capital Requirements. Mark's ultimate success may depend upon
its ability to raise additional working capital by selling equity securities or
obtaining debt financing until its operating results improve. Mark has primarily
met its working capital requirements through private placements of its
securities. Management believes that its available working capital from existing
contracts and from anticipated contracts will be utilized by June 30, 2000. If
Mark needs additional working capital from sources other than its operations, it
will most likely attempt to privately sell additional equity or debt securities.
While Mark has been successful in raising working capital in the past, no
assurance can be given that such sources will be available, or, if available, on
terms satisfactory to Mark.
3. Limited Market and Contract Procedure for Modular Cells. The substantial
majority of Mark's revenues have been from the sale of its modular steel cells
to correctional institutions. Management believes that the steel cells will
continue to represent the majority of Mark's operating revenues for the next two
fiscal years. The correctional institution market presents substantial sales
obstacles. Unless the project is very small, correctional institutions, as a
government agency, must submit proposed projects to public bidding by
prospective suppliers. The purchasing agency is obligated to select from among
the bidders based on objective criteria as compared to private sector purchases
which generally do not require bidding. This public bidding process does not
give Mark the opportunity to convince the purchaser to deal with Mark to the
exclusion of competitors.
Mark currently has contracts for it modular cells aggregating approximately
$11,000,000 in revenue for the period beginning July 1, 1999 to June 30, 2000.
5
<PAGE>
4. Limited Sales of IntraScan PACS Software. For the three fiscal years
ended June 30, 1999, Mark's IntraScan PACS software revenues totaled $2,103,000.
While Mark believes the domestic and international market for PACS systems is
significant and growing, there can be no assurance that Mark will establish a
material market share and operate its IntraScan business profitably.
5. Bonding Qualifications. Many government construction projects require
vendors like Mark to provide performance and completion bonds as a condition to
participation in a correctional facility bid. Due to Mark's financial condition,
it has generally been unable to obtain bonds without the assistance and
guarantee of its president. Mark has not limited its bidding activity nor lost
any projects due to its limited bonding capacity. However, as Mark is awarded
multiple projects, the inability to obtain bonds may limit the number of
additional projects Mark can pursue and have a material adverse effect on the
operations of Mark.
6. Significant Contracts. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 1999,
$7,127,500 (69.7%) of Mark's revenue was attributable to three modular steel
cell projects. In addition, one of these projects is expected to represent
$2,600,000 in revenue for fiscal 2000.
7. Competition. Mark competes in two industries which are highly
competitive; government construction and computer software.
Due to the use of concrete and other traditional construction methods in
the substantial majority (approximately 90%) of correctional facilities
construction, Mark competes for market share with a number of major national and
regional construction companies in its efforts to convince the purchasing agency
to utilize steel cell construction rather than traditional methods. With respect
to those projects which incorporate modular steel cells in its design criteria,
Mark competes against other regional metal fabricators, some of which have
greater financial resources than Mark. In addition, other sheet metal
manufacturers which have greater financial and marketing resources than Mark
could enter the modular cell business. Accordingly, there can be no assurance
that Mark will be able to successfully compete in the market for modular cells.
With regard to the IntraScan PACS software, other companies, including
several established film and medical equipment manufacturers, which are larger
and better financed than Mark, offer PACS systems and the related software. As
the PACS market develops, other large medical equipment, computer hardware or
software companies could enter the PACS business. Accordingly, there can be no
assurance that Mark will be able to successfully compete in the PACS market.
6
<PAGE>
8. Rapid Technological Change in the Software Industry; Need for Continued
Product Development. The application software industry is subject to rapid
technological and industry standard changes that can quickly make existing
products less desirable or obsolete. Consequently, Mark is required to
continually develop, update and enhance its IntraScan II software applications
to keep pace with industry changes and to respond to the changing needs of
customers. These efforts require substantial capital investments. While Mark
intends to allocate the necessary resources to the extent available, there can
be no assurance that Mark will not experience difficulties in product
development or that other companies will not develop software applications which
will achieve greater acceptance in the PACS market.
9. Dependence on Key Person. Mark is dependent upon the continued services
of Carl Coppola, its Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive
Officer. The loss of Mr. Coppola could have a material adverse effect on Mark.
Mark is the beneficiary of a term life insurance policy of $1,000,000 on the
life of Mr. Coppola.
10. Nasdaq Listing Maintenance Requirements; Recent Trading Prices;
Potential Application of Exchange Act "Penny Stock" Rules. Mark's Common Stock
trades on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market. To be eligible for continued listing of
its Common Stock, Mark is required to maintain, among other things:
o a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share.
o minimum net tangible assets of $2,000,000 or a market
capitalization of $35 million.
If Mark does not maintain its Nasdaq SmallCap Market listing, the liquidity
of the Common Stock would be adversely affected. In addition, Mark's ability to
raise additional working capital through sales of its equity securities would
also be adversely affected. In response to the low trading price of its Common
Stock, Mark effected a 1 for 4 reverse stock split in June 1999 to meet Nasdaq's
minimum bid requirement.
If Mark does not maintain its Nasdaq SmallCap Market listing, Mark's Common
Stock would most likely be a "penny stock" as that term is defined in the
Exchange Act. Brokers effecting transactions in a penny stock are subject to
additional customer disclosure and record keeping obligations, including:
o standardized risk disclosure document about the penny
stock market prior to the transaction.
o current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock.
o the compensation of the broker and its salesperson for
transactions in penny stocks.
o monthly account statements showing the market value of
each penny stock owned by the customer.
7
<PAGE>
In addition, brokers effecting transactions in a penny stock are also
subject to addition sales practice requirements under Rule 15g-9 of the Exchange
Act including:
o making an individualized written suitability
determination of penny stock investments for each
customer.
o obtaining a prior written agreement for the specific
penny stock purchase.
Because of these additional obligations, certain brokers will not effect
transactions in penny stocks, which could have an adverse effect on the
liquidity of the security and make selling it more difficult.
11. Impact of Conversion Price of Preferred Stock and Debentures on the
Trading Price of Common Stock. Mark currently has outstanding 27,686 shares of
Series A and Series B Preferred Stock which are convertible into shares of
Common Stock at the discounted rate of 75% of the market price. Mark also
currently has outstanding 20,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock which are
convertible into shares of Common Stock at the discounted rate of 70% of the
market price. These discounted conversion rights may prevent rises in the
trading price of the Common Stock due to the potential sale of the underlying
Common Stock which would be acquired at below the then current trading price. In
June 1998 a holder converted debentures in the principal amount of $750,000
provided Mark agree to issue additional shares of Common Stock to the extent the
trading price falls below $1.25 on January 31, 2000. This adjustment provision
may similarly affect the trading price of the Common Stock. Because of the
discount to the current market price of the Common Stock, sales of the shares of
Common Stock underlying the Preferred Stock may cause a downward trend in the
trading price of the Common Stock until such shares are sold if the interest to
buy the Common Stock by investors is weak. Based on the closing bid price of
Mark's Common Stock on November 30, 1999 of $2.375, 838,230 shares of Common
Stock are issuable on conversion of the outstanding Preferred Stock and as a
result of the debenture adjustment. Because the conversion of the Preferred
Stock is dependent on the price of the Common Stock at future dates, the actual
number of shares of Common Stock which will be issued in undeterminable, and may
exceed the assumed number given above.
12. Subcontractor Credit Risk. Mark's modular steel cells are only one
component of correctional institution projects. Therefore, Mark may not be the
prime contractor on a project, but a subcontractor. Under these circumstances,
Mark usually will not have the direct financial obligation of the government
agency or other purchaser, but will be primarily relying on the prime contractor
regarding payment for its products. This presents a greater credit risk to Mark.
8
<PAGE>
13. Related Party Transactions; Potential Conflicts of Interests. Mark has
been a party to business transactions with certain officers, Directors or their
affiliates. Mark intends to purchase goods and services in the ordinary course
of business from related parties and may determine based upon circumstances at
that time to engage in additional transactions with officers, Directors,
principal shareholders or affiliates. While Mark believes these transactions
have been on terms no less favorable than could be obtained from unaffiliated
parties, such situations present potential conflicts of interest.
14. No Dividends. Mark has never paid a cash dividend on its Common Stock.
Mark does not intend to pay in the foreseeable future, cash dividends on the
Common Stock but intends to retain any earnings to finance growth.
15. Antitakeover Effects of Authorized and Unissued Preferred Stock. Mark's
Board of Directors have the authority to issue up to 4,705,000 shares of
preferred stock and to determine the price, rights, preferences, privileges and
restrictions including voting rights, of those shares without any further vote
or action by Mark's shareholders. The rights of the holders of Common Stock will
be subject to, and may be adversely affected by the rights of the holders of any
preferred stock that may be issued. The issuance of preferred stock, while
providing flexibility for possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes,
could have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire a
majority of the outstanding voting stock of Mark. Mark has no present plans to
issue additional shares of Preferred Stock.

MARK'S JUNE 1998 PRIVATE PLACEMENT AND
JANUARY 1999 EXCHANGE PLACEMENT
Mark effected a June 1998 private placement which raised gross proceeds of
$2,750,000 (the "Private Placement"). The Private Placement consisted of equity
and debt units pursuant to which Mark issued 1,220,000 shares of Common Stock,
(ii) $1,530,000 principal amount convertible debentures due December 28, 1999,
(iii) warrants to purchase 1,375,000 shares of Common Stock and (iv) an option
to purchase an additional $2,550,000 principal amount convertible debentures
with warrants to purchase 1,275,000 shares of Common Stock. The Private
Placement was effected to comply with the continued listing requirements of The
Nasdaq SmallCap Market related to "net tangible assets" and to provide for
adequate working capital to fund operations.
The Common Stock being offered under this Prospectus were acquired by the
Selling Shareholders in a January 1999 exchange placement (the "Exchange
Placement") pursuant to which the investors agreed to exchange the securities
received in the Private Placement for:
o 122,000 shares of 7% Series A Preferred Stock, $1.00 par
value.
o 153,000 shares of 7% Series B Preferred Stock, $1.00 par
value.
o Warrants to purchase 343,750 shares of Common Stock at
$6.00 per share on or before June 28, 2002.
o an option exercisable by the investors to purchase an
additional 275,000 shares of Preferred Stock with
warrants to purchase 343,750 shares of Common Stock (the
"Preferred Stock Unit Option").
As of November 30, 1999, 21,686 shares of the A Preferred Stock, 6,000
shares of the B Preferred Stock and all of the Warrants remained issued and
outstanding.
Preferred Stock. Except for the conversion price, the terms, conditions and
preferences of the A and B Preferred Stock are identical.
Conversion Rights. Each share of A Preferred Stock is convertible, at the
option of the holder, into shares of Common Stock equal to $10.00 per share
divided by the lesser of (a) $1.00 or (b) 75% of the average per share closing
bid price of the Common Stock for the five trading days immediately preceding
the conversion date(s). Each share of B Preferred Stock is
10
<PAGE>
convertible, at the option of the holder, into shares of Common Stock equal to
$10.00 per share divided by the lesser of (a) $1.50 or (b) 75% of the average
per share closing bid price of the Common Stock for the five trading days
immediately preceding the conversion date(s). The Preferred Stock will
automatically convert into Common Stock on June 30, 2000 at the then applicable
conversion price.
Voting Rights. Except as otherwise required by law, the holders of shares
of Preferred Stock have four votes per share voting as a single class with the
Common Stock.
Dividends. Each share of Preferred Stock receives a quarterly dividend with
an annual rate of $0.70 per share. The dividends of the Preferred Stock are
payable in cash or Common Stock, at the option of Mark.
Liquidation Rights. In the event of any liquidation, the holders of the
Preferred Stock will share equally in any balance of Mark's assets available for
distribution to them up to $10.00 per share plus unpaid dividends, after
satisfaction of creditors and the holders of Mark's senior securities, if any.
Preferred Stock Unit Option. The Preferred Stock Unit Option gives the holders
the right to purchase additional preferred stock units, which in the aggregate
would consist of (i) 275,000 shares of Preferred Stock with terms identical to
the Series B Preferred Stock and (ii) 343,750 four-year warrants, each to
purchase one share of Common Stock at $6.00 per share. The Preferred Stock Unit
Option is exercisable until January 28, 2000. The Common Stock underlying the
Preferred Stock Unit Option is not being offered by this Prospectus.
Anti-dilution Provisions. The Exchange Placement securities contain
anti-dilution provisions in the event of stock dividends, stock splits, reverse
stock splits and similar transactions.
Restriction on Acquiring in Excess of Five (5%) of the Outstanding Common Stock.
Each holder of the Exchange Placement securities are prohibited from acquiring
the beneficial ownership of over five (5%) percent of Mark's Common Stock
through the (i) conversion of Preferred Stock, (ii) exercise of the Warrants or
(iii) exercise of the Preferred Stock Unit Option.
11
<PAGE>
Impact of Conversion Price of the Preferred Stock. The conversion price of the
Preferred Stock is variable based on the current price of Mark's Common Stock at
the time of conversion. Because of the discount to the current market price of
the Common Stock, sales of the shares of Common Stock underlying the Preferred
Stock may cause a downward trend in the trading price of the Common Stock until
such shares are sold if the interest to buy the Common Stock by investors is
weak. The Selling Shareholders are not prohibited from taking or maintaining a
short position in the Common Stock.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The sale of shares of Common Stock by the Selling Shareholders may be
effected from time to time in transactions on one or more exchanges or in the
over-the-counter market, or otherwise in negotiated transactions, through the
timing of options on the shares or through a combination of such methods of
sale, at fixed prices, which may be charged at market prices prevailing at the
time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or at
negotiated prices. The Selling Shareholders may effect such transactions by
selling the shares of Common Stock in an exchange distribution in accordance
with the rules of such exchange to or through broker-dealers, and such
broker-dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or
commissions from the Selling Shareholders and/or the purchasers of the shares of
Common Stock for which such broker-dealer may act as agent or to whom they sell
as principal, or both (which compensation as to a particular broker-dealer may
be in excess of customary compensation). The Selling Shareholders and any
broker-dealers who act in connection with the sale of the shares of Common Stock
hereunder may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of Section 2(11)
of the Securities Act, and any commissions received by them and profit on any
sale of the shares of Common Stock as principal might be deemed to be
underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act.
In addition any securities covered by the Prospectus which qualify may be
sold under Rule 144 rather than pursuant to the Prospectus, as supplemented.
From time to time the Selling Shareholders may engage in short sales, short
sales against the box, puts and calls and other transactions in securities of
Mark or derivatives thereof, and may sell and deliver the shares in connection
therewith.
From time to time Selling Shareholders may pledge their shares pursuant to
the margin provisions of their respective customer agreements with their
respective brokers. Upon a default by a Selling Shareholder, the broker may
offer and sell the pledged shares of the Common Stock from time to time.
