Inc. Syscan Inc. was founded in Silicon Valley in 1995 to develop
and manufacture a new generation of CIS (CMOS-Complimentary Metal
Oxide Silicon) imaging sensor devices. During the late 1990s, the
company established many technical milestones and was granted
numerous patents based on their linear imaging technology (Contact
Image Sensors). Syscan's patented CIS and mobile imaging scanner
technology provides very high quality images but at extremely low
power consumption, allowing it to manufacture very compact scanners
in a form ideally suited for the mobile computer user who needs to
scan documents while away from their office. This "enabling"
technology is found in a variety of applications such as documents
management, ID card and passport security scanners, bank note/check
verification, business card readers, scanning 2D bar codes and
optical mark readers used in lottery terminals. Syscan has grown to
be one of the largest OEM -private label manufacturers of mobile
scanning systems for a large number of major brands such as PENTAX,
COREX, VISIONEER, DATACOLOR, DIGIMARC, SCANSOFT, NORTEK and OMRON.
Syscan's vertically integrated design and manufacturing model
allows rapid time-to-market for these leading companies. Syscan's
manufacturing is completed at an affiliated China-based facility
which provides a low-cost manufacturing base for these industrial
and consumer products. In 2002, Syscan began to design a line of
innovative new products targeted toward the flat-panel display
market. These products dramatically improved the video image
quality on LCD displays implementing advanced digital image
processing and display control techniques. Much of the technology
within these display imaging products have commonality with the
linear imaging devices, providing strong technical overlap of
personnel and resources. This new display control technology
creates a tremendous value point in the flat-panel television
entertainment and video-centric markets, which Syscan intends to
target. "Safe Harbor" statement under the Private Securities
