                                  THE COMPANY

     The Company is engaged in the manufacture and sale of digitizing tablets,
pen plotters, ink jet plotters, thermal transfer printers, and wide format
graphic cutters.  The Company's products are used in applications with high-
performance computer graphics systems, including computer-aided design,
manufacturing, engineering, publishing and graphic arts.  The Company's products
are sold by its sales force primarily through distributors and also to OEMs
which incorporate the Company's products into their own computer products.  The
Company's products may be integrated with most personal computers, including
IBM-compatible personal computers and Apple personal computers, workstations
from Sun Microsystems and Digital Equipment, and publishing systems from Scitex,
and are compatible with over four hundred applications including software such
as AutoCAD, Corel Draw, Adobe Illustrator, Microsoft Windows and Aldus Freehand.
The Company's strategy is to pursue sales and market share growth for its
existing product lines, through product enhancements and new product
introductions, to devote substantial resources to research and development,
including the development of new products for use in connection with pen-based
computing and computer graphics, and, as and if appropriate opportunities arise,
to acquire or develop one or more complementary product lines or businesses
serving the computer graphics markets.

     The Company is seeking to make acquisitions of related or complementary
businesses primarily in exchange for additional shares of the Company's Common
Stock and/or cash.  Effective October 31, 1994, the Company's wholly owned
subsidiary, CAD Nevada, acquired the assets and liabilities of CAD Delaware in
exchange for approximately 510,129 shares of Common Stock in a transaction
accounted for as a pooling of interests.  CAD Nevada is engaged in the mail
order distribution of computer peripheral equipment used in computer assisted
design and related applications, including products manufactured by the Company.
The Company is continually evaluating potential acquisition candidates.
However, no assurance can be given at this time that any acquisitions will
become probable or that any material acquisitions will be consummated.

     The Company is a Delaware corporation formed in 1972.  The Company's
principal executive offices are located at 8500 Cameron Road, Austin, Texas
78754, and its telephone number is (512) 835-0900.


                                 RISK FACTORS

      The following facts should be considered carefully in evaluating an
investment in the Common Stock.

                                      -2-
<PAGE>
 
Product Concentration.
- --------------------- 

          Digitizers account for approximately 50% of the sales revenues of the
Company.  The Company anticipates that digitizers will continue to account for a
substantial portion of its sales for the foreseeable future.  If for any reason
sales of digitizers were to decline, the Company's business would be adversely
affected.

Competition and Technological Change.
- ------------------------------------ 

          The markets in which the Company sells its products are competitive
and are subject to changes as technology advances.  The Company faces actual and
potential competition from a number of established manufacturers, both domestic
and international, including the Company's largest competitors, CalComp, Inc., a
subsidiary of Lockheed Corporation, and Hewlett-Packard Co., which have
significantly greater financial, technical, manufacturing and marketing
resources than the Company; and Kurta Corporation, Wacom Company, Ltd., Encad,
Inc., and Oce Vandegrinten.  CalComp competes primarily with the Company's
digitizer and plotter products; Kurta competes primarily with the Company's
digitizer products; and Hewlett-Packard competes primarily with the Company's
output products (plotters).  The Company's digitizer products face competition
from manufacturers of mice, including Logitech, Inc.

          The Company believes that its competitive ability also depends on the
quality, pricing, performance and support of its products, manufacturing costs
and the Company's technical capability and successful introduction of new
products and product enhancements.  Inability to match product introductions and
enhancements or price/performance of competitors' products could adversely
affect the Company's market share and profitability.

          In 1994, the Company encountered delays in company shipments of its
SummaJet 2 inkjet plotter associated with patent analysis and the speed of
manufacturing ramp up which adversely affected its financial results for the
fiscal quarter ended February 28, 1995.  This product began shipment in January
1995.

Recent Losses.
- ------------- 

          The Company incurred a net loss of $16,425,552 for the year ended May
31, 1993, compared to net income of $2,786,685 for the year ended May 31, 1994.
The Company's net income for the six months ended November 30, 1994 was $687,325
compared to a net income of $201,572 for the six months ended November 30, 1993.
The 1993 loss was attributable to a number of factors, including adverse
operating conditions in general of the Company's markets, the incurrence of an
$8.5 million restructuring charge, $1.95 million of expenses attributable to a
patent lawsuit subsequently settled, a write-down of $698,000 of intangible
assets related to an acquisition, a $547,000 increase in the Company's reserve
for bad debts attributable to a large foreign customer and to costs to replace
the Company's CEO, increased promotional expenses, and expenses associated with
increased rent expense after the sale and leaseback of the Company's Austin,
Texas facility.

          The Company has continued to incur a high level of R&D and marketing
costs as it has sought to design and introduce new products in order to remain
competitive in its markets. Gross margins continue to encounter pressure from
competitive products. While management believes that the Company will continue
to be profitable and will avoid large operating losses of the magnitude incurred
in 1993, the Company continues to face competitive pressures that can have a
substantial adverse impact on its profitability. Significant delays in
developing and introducing new products, or a failure to control manufacturing
costs, could contribute to losses in the future, which could be material to the
Company's business. There can be no assurance that the Company's profitable
operations in recent quarters will continue.

Protection of Proprietary Information.
- ------------------------------------- 

                                      -3-
<PAGE>
 
          The Company relies in part upon trade secrets, know-how and patents to
develop and maintain its competitive position.  There can be no assurance that
others will not develop or patent similar technologies or that the
confidentiality agreements upon which the Company relies to protect its trade
secrets and know-how will be enforced by the courts.  There can be no assurance
that the Company has established or will be able to maintain a patent position
sufficient to protect its processes or products.  Other companies have obtained,
and can be expected to obtain in the future, patents covering a variety of
configurations and processes related to the Company's products, which could
require the Company to obtain licenses.  There can be no assurance that the
Company will be able to obtain such licenses, if required, upon commercially
reasonable terms.  The Company has from time to time been involved in litigation
to defend its rights in proprietary information which has required the
expenditure of substantial amounts.  There can be no assurance that the Company
will not in the future incur additional expenses in this regard.

International Sales and Currency Exchange.
- ----------------------------------------- 

          During 1993 and 1994, international sales and operations represented
approximately 44.5% and 45.7%, respectively, of the Company's net revenues.  At
May 31, 1994, the Company had identifiable foreign assets of $18.8 million.
Export sales to foreign countries from the United States totaled $9.8 million in
1993 and $12.1 million in 1994.  In addition, the Company sells products to
systems integrators located within the United States which market the Company's
products worldwide.

          International sales and operations are subject to inherent risks,
including unexpected changes in regulatory requirements, tariffs and other trade
barriers, costs and risks of localizing products for foreign countries,
difficulties in staffing and managing foreign operations, potential difficulties
in repatriation of earnings, and the burdens of complying with a wide variety of
foreign laws.  The Company is also at risk of adverse currency fluctuations.  An
increase in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies could
make the Company's products more expensive and, therefore, potentially less
competitive in foreign markets.  As the Company increases its international
sales, its net revenues may also be affected to a greater extent by seasonal
fluctuations resulting from lower levels of business activity which typically
occur during the summer months in Europe.  The Company's results in Western
Europe during 1993 and 1994 were negatively affected by the recession there, and
sales to China have decreased as a result of currency fluctuations and changes
in regulatory requirements affecting certain customers.  There can be no
assurance that these factors will not have a material adverse effect on the
Company's future international sales and operations, and, consequently, on the
Company's business.

Potential Fluctuations in Quarterly Results.
- ------------------------------------------- 

          The Company achieved profitable operations on a quarterly basis
commencing with the first fiscal quarter of 1994.  Because of the rate of
technological change and competition generally, there can be no assurance that
such profitability will continue on a quarterly basis in the future or that
levels of profitability may not vary over any such quarterly periods.  The
Company operates with relatively small backlog and substantially all of its net
sales in each quarter result from orders booked within a generally short cycle
between order and shipment (typically less than 45 days). Accordingly, if near-
term demand for the Company's products weakens or if significant anticipated
sales in any quarter are not realized as expected, the Company's net sales for
that quarter could be adversely affected. The Company's net sales may fluctuate
as a result of other factors, including increased competition, variations in the
net sales mix, announcements of new products by the Company or its competitors,
delays in shipment of existing or new products and capital spending patterns of
the Company's customers.

Dependence on Key Employees.
- --------------------------- 

                                      -4-
<PAGE>
 
          The Company's success if dependent in large measure on key technical,
sales and management personnel, the loss of one or more of whom could adversely
affect its business.  The Company does not have employment agreements with any
of its officers or key personnel, except its President.  The future success of
the Company will depend in large part on its continuing ability to attract and
retain talented, qualified employees.  While the Company to date has not
experienced any difficulty in attracting and retaining qualified employees,
there can be no assurance that the Company can retain its key employees or that
it can attract, assimilate and retain its key employees or that it can attract,
assimilate and retain other skilled technical personnel.

Limited Sources of Supply.
- ------------------------- 

          Certain components used in, and certain of the Company's products, are
currently available from only one or a limited number of sources.  The Company
has no long-term contracts with these suppliers.  The Company's inability to
obtain sufficient supplies of sole-or limited-source components or to develop
alternative sources as needed has in the past and could in the future result in
delays or reductions in product shipments.  Operating results also could be
materially adversely affected by receipt of defective components or an increase
in component prices.  Because the Company believes innovation is important to
its strategy, Company products under development may incorporate third-party
components that are under development, often with the assistance of the Company.
Typically, these component parts are not available until a short time before the
scheduled commercial shipment of the Company's products.  Components may not
become available, may be delayed or may have quality problems, which could
result in production and sales delays or cancellations of orders for Company
products.  Such factors would have a material adverse effect on the Company's
operating results.

Possible Anti-Takeover Effects of Certain Charter and Bylaw Provisions.
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 

          The Company's Third Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the
"Charter") and Bylaws contain provisions that may discourage acquisition bids
for the Company.  The Company has a substantial amount of authorized but
unissued capital stock available for issuance.  The Company's Charter contains
provisions which authorize the Board of Directors, without the consent of the
shareholders, to issue additional shares of Common Stock and issue shares of
Preferred Stock in series, including establishment of the rights, powers and
preferences, including voting rights, of holders of the Preferred Stock, and
grant authority to the Board to amend the Company's Bylaws.  Additionally, the
Company's Bylaws empower the Board to increase or decrease the number of
directors, subject to certain limitations, and specify that directors will
generally hold office until the next annual meeting of shareholders.  These
provisions may have the effect, either alone or in combination with each other,
of (i) limiting the price that certain investors might be willing to pay in the
future for shares of the Common Stock, (ii) delaying, deferring or otherwise
discouraging an acquisition or change in control of the Company deemed
undesirable by the Board of Directors or (iii) adversely affecting the voting
power of shareholders who own Common Stock.

                              PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

     The sale of the Common Stock offered hereby may be effected from time to
time directly or by one or more broker-dealers or agents, in one or more
transactions (which may involve crosses and block transactions) on the Nasdaq
National Market, in negotiated transactions, or through a combination of such
methods of distribution, at prices related to prevailing market prices or at
negotiated prices.

     In the event one or more broker-dealers or agents agree to sell the Common
Stock, they may do so by purchasing the Common Stock as principals or by selling
the Common Stock as agent for the Selling Shareholders.  Any 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 Company may be required to enter into
indemnity agreements with any such broker-dealers or agents providing assurances
as to the accuracy of this Prospectus and providing indemnity to any such
broker-dealer or agent in the event of any material misstatement or omission of
fact in this Prospectus.

     Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person
engaged in a distribution of the Common Stock may not simultaneously engage in
market-making activities with respect to the Company's Common Stock for a period
of two business days prior to the commencement of such distribution.  In
addition and without limiting the foregoing, the Selling Shareholders will be
subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and
regulations thereunder, including, without limitation, Rule 10b-6.

     In order to comply with certain states' securities laws, if applicable, the
Common Stock will be sold in such jurisdictions only through registered or
licensed brokers or dealers.  In certain states, the Common Stock may not be
sold unless the Common Stock has been registered or qualified for sale in such
state or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is
complied with.

     The shares offered hereby are being registered pursuant to rights granted
the Selling Shareholders in the Asset Purchase Agreement providing for the
acquisition of CAD Delaware.  The Asset Purchase Agreement requires the Company
to indemnify the Selling Shareholders

                                      -6-
<PAGE>
 
against liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933,
that may arise as a consequence of any material misstatement or omission of fact
in this Prospectus.  The Asset Purchase Agreement provides that the Selling
Shareholders will not, without the Company's prior consent, sell on any trading
day an aggregate number of shares of Common Stock in excess of the greater of
3,000 shares or 20% of the average daily trading volume of the Common Stock for
the preceding ten trading days.  All of the proceeds generated from the sale of
the shares of Common Stock offered hereby will be immediately deposited into the
accounts of the Selling Shareholders.

                                USE OF PROCEEDS

     The Company will not receive any proceeds from the offering.

                                 LEGAL MATTERS

     The validity of the Common Stock offered hereby has been passed upon for
the Company by Robert B. Sims, Senior Vice President and General Counsel of the
Company.

                                    EXPERTS

     The historical consolidated financial statements and schedules of
Summagraphics Corporation and subsidiaries as of May 31, 1993 and 1994, and for
each of the years in the three-year period ended May 31, 1994, and the
supplemental consolidated financial statements of Summagraphics Corporation and
subsidiaries as of May 31, 1993 and 1994, and for each of the years in the
three-year period ended May 31, 1994, have been incorporated by reference herein
and in the Registration Statement in reliance upon the reports of KPMG Peat
Marwick LLP, independent certified public accountants, incorporated by reference
herein, and upon the authority of said firm as experts in accounting and
auditing.  The reports of KPMG Peat Marwick LLP covering the May 31, 1994
historical and supplemental consolidated financial statements refer to a change
in the method of accounting for income taxes in 1993.  In addition, the report
of KPMG Peat Marwick LLP on the supplemental consolidated financial statements
indicates that the supplemental consolidated financial statements give
retroactive effect to the merger of Summagraphics Corporation and CAD Warehouse,
Inc. on November 10, 1994, which has been accounted for as a pooling of
interests.  Generally accepted accounting principles proscribe giving effect to
a consummated business combination accounted for by the pooling of interests
method in financial statements that do not include the date of consummation.
These supplemental financial statements do not extend through the date of
consummation.  However, they will become the historical consolidated financial
statements of Summagraphics Corporation and subsidiaries after financial
statements covering the date of consummation of the business combination are
issued.

     The financial statements of CAD Warehouse, Inc. as of September 30, 1994
and December 31, 1993 and for the nine-month period and the year then ended have
been incorporated by reference herein and in the Registration Statement in
reliance upon the report of KPMG Peat Marwick LLP, independent certified public
accountants, incorporated by reference herein, and upon the authority of said
firm as experts in accounting and auditing.

ITEM 15.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

     The Registrant's Third Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws
provide, consistent with the provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law,
that no director of the Registrant will be personally liable to the Company or
any of its shareholders for monetary damages arising from the director's breach
of fiduciary duty as a director.  However, this does not apply with respect to
any action in which the director would be liable under Section 174 of Title 8 of
the Delaware General Corporation Law nor does it apply with respect to any
action in which the director (i) has breached his duty of loyalty to the Company
and its shareholders, (ii) does not act in good faith or, in failing to act,
does not act in good faith, (iii) has acted in a manner involving intentional
misconduct or a knowing violation of law or, in failing to act, has acted in a
manner involving intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, or (iv)
has derived an improper personal benefit.

     Pursuant to the provisions of Section 145 of the Delaware General
Corporation Law, every Delaware corporation has the power to indemnify any
person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any
threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding (other than an
action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that he is
or was a director, officer, employee or agent of any corporation, partnership,
joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against any and all expenses,
judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement and reasonably incurred in
connection with such action, suit or proceeding.  The power to indemnify applies
only if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed
to be in the best interest, or not opposed to the best interest, of the
corporation and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.

     The power to indemnify applies to actions brought by or in the right of the
corporation as well, but only to the extent of defense and settlement expenses
and not to any satisfaction of a judgment or settlement of the claim itself, and
with the further limitation that in such actions no indemnification shall be
made in the event of any adjudication unless the court, in its discretion,
believes that in light of all the circumstances indemnification should apply.

     To the extent any of the persons referred to in the two immediately
preceding paragraphs is successful in the defense of the actions referred to
therein, such person is entitled, pursuant to Section 145, to indemnification as
described above.

                                      II-1
<PAGE>
 
     The directors and officers of the Registrant are insured under a directors'
and officers' liability insurance policy insuring directors and officers against
liabilities for which they are entitled to indemnity as described above in the
event the Registrant is unable or fails to make payment.

     Insofar as indemnification by the Registrant for liabilities arising under
the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or persons
controlling the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Registrant
has been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act
and is therefore unenforceable.

ITEM 16.    EXHIBITS.

     The Exhibits to this Registration Statement are listed in the Index to
Exhibits on page II-5 of this Registration Statement, which Index is
incorporated herein by reference.

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 prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
               Securities Act;

               (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising
               after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the
               most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually
               or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the
               information set forth in the Registration Statement;

               (iii)  To include any material information with respect to the
               plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration
               Statement or any material change to such information in the
               Registration Statement;

     provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) do not apply if the
     --------  -------                                                        
     information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
     paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the Registrant
     pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are
     incorporated by reference in the 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.

     (b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the
Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) and 15(d) of the Exchange
Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee 

                                      II-2
<PAGE>
 
benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange
Act) 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.

     (c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling persons of the
Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant
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 Registrant of expenses incurred or
paid by a director, officer, or controlling person of the Registrant 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 Registrant 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.

Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all

City of Austin, State of Texas, on March 27, 1995.

                        CONSENT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

The Board of Directors of
Summagraphics Corporation:

     We consent to the use of our reports incorporated herein by reference and
to the reference to our Firm under the heading "Experts" in the prospectus.  Our
report on the historical May 31, 1994 consolidated financial statements is
incorporated by reference from the Company's 1994 Annual Report on Form 10-K;
our report on the supplemental May 31, 1994 consolidated financial statements is
incorporated by reference from the Company's January 23, 1995 Amendment No. 1 on
Form 8-K; and our report on September 30, 1994 CAD Warehouse, Inc. financial
statements is incorporated by reference from the Company's November 23, 1994
Form 8-K.

     Our reports covering the historical and supplemental consolidated financial
statements of Summagraphics Corporation and subsidiaries refer to a change in
the method of accounting for income taxes in 1993.  Our report with respect to
the supplemental consolidated financial statements indicates that the
supplemental consolidated financial statements give retroactive effect to the
merger of Summagraphics Corporation and CAD Warehouse, Inc. on November 10,
1994, which has been accounted for as a pooling of interests.  Generally
accepted accounting principles proscribe giving effect to a consummated business
combination accounted for by the pooling of interests method in financial
statements that do not include the date of consummation.  These supplemental
financial statements do not extend through the date of consummation.  However,
they will become the historical consolidated financial statements of
Summagraphics Corporation and subsidiaries after financial statements covering
the date of consummation of the business combination are issued.
