PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

Side-Glow Cable

The Company's side-glow fiber optic lighting cables utilize a patented reflective center core in the manufacturing process to produce a plastic cable which gives off light along its length, rather than just at the end points. The Company markets this cabl e with a halogen or metal-halide light source as an alternative to neon lighting for indoor and outdoor architectural accents and large signs and displays. The Company has been issued one United States relating to the reflective center core used i n the process of manufacturing its side-glow cables and has filed a patent application relating to its light source technology. While the Company's side-glow cable currently does not achieve the level of brightness of neon, the Company believes its benefi ts outweigh the brightness factor for a large segment of the current neon market. Fiber optic lighting cable is flexible and easy to install, is not prone to the breakage associated with glass neon tubes and is energy efficient, providing significant savi ngs in electrical costs and maintenance. In addition, unlike neon, the Company's product is capable of changing color. The cables are offered in a variety of diameters with awide range of light sources. This allows flexibility to the market in the choice of the integration of a variety of products to produce a"custom" fiber optic lighting system. When combined with the Company's light source control systems, multiple light sources and cables can be synchronized to provide large scale controlled lighting s ystems and to create unique lighting effects. To date, the Company's side-glow cable has been used in major installations worldwide, including the Tokyo Dome and Mitsui Greenland Amusement Park in Japan and Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida. The Compa ny believes that this product area offers the largest growth potential and therefore, the Company intends to devote the majority of its engineering and sales and marketing efforts to expand this area of its business.

End Point Signs and Displays

The Company's end point fiber optic products employ fiber optic strands with a flexible light source system to create signs, displays and special effects in virtually unlimited shapes, sizes, designs and colors using fiber optic end points. This technolog y can be utilized in point of purchase signage as an alternative to static signage, adding motion and color to a logo or advertisement. Studies by various groups have shown that motion and color in signage can increase attention time by 400%. End point fi ber optics are also used in large scale signage, including billboards. The flexibility of the Company's end point lighting system allows adaptation to numerous other mediums, from simulated galaxies in movie theater ceilings and walkways to trade show dis plays. These products have been incorporated by numerous restaurants, movie theaters and hotels to create nightscape effects, advertising, signage and have been incorporated in floats and other special effects displays for Walt Disney World and EuroDisney land. The Company has also produced fiber optic signs and displays for AT&T, Blockbuster Entertainment, Inc., Coca-Cola Bottling Company and McDonalds Corporation.
