ITEM 2. ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

         On March 1, 2000, Rimage Corporation ("Rimage") completed the
acquisition of Cedar Technologies, Inc. ("Cedar"). Pursuant to an Agreement and
Plan of Merger dated as of February 25, 2000 (the "Agreement") between Rimage,
Cedar, CDR Acquisition, Inc. (a wholly owned subsidiary of Rimage) and five of
the shareholders of Cedar, on March 1, 2000, CDR Acquisition, Inc. was merged
("the "Merger") with and into Cedar, Rimage issued 331,664 shares of its common
stock for all of the outstanding common stock of Cedar, and Cedar became a
wholly owned subsidiary of Rimage. Of such shares, 33,661 shares were placed in
an escrow account for one year after the date of the Merger to cover indemnity
obligations. Rimage also agreed to assume the obligation to issue approximately
149,376 shares of its common stock upon exercise of outstanding options of
Cedar, and 118,596 shares of its common stock upon exercise of outstanding
warrants of Cedar. The transaction was intended to qualify as a tax-free
exchange with pooling of interests accounting treatment.

         Cedar was founded in 1996 and currently manufactures and markets CDR
publication and duplication equipment designed for sale with a lower price point
than Rimage's products. Rimage intends to continue to use Cedar's name and
distribution channels to sell Cedar's products to this market. Cedar's
manufacturing operations will eventually be consolidated with Rimage's. Cedar
generated approximately $5 million of revenue during the year ended December 31,
1999.




ITEM 7. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS

         a)       Financial statements of the business acquired

                  Financial statements are omitted because none of the
                  conditions set forth in SX Rule 1.02(w) exceeded 20% with
                  respect to the business acquired.

         b)       Pro forma financial information

                  Pro forma financial information is omitted because the
                  business acquired did not constitute a "significant business"
                  within the meaning of SX Rule 11-01(b).

         c)       Exhibits

         Exhibit Number                  Description
         --------------                  -----------
