RISK FACTORS An investment in the shares of Common Stock offered hereby involves a high degree of risk. The following factors, in addition to the other information in this Prospectus, should be carefully considered in evaluating the Company and its business before purchasing the shares of Common Stock offered hereby. Reliance on 3D Graphical Interface Market. The Company's future success will continue to depend on sales of its hardware and software products designed to be used with 3D graphical user interfaces. The Company's ability to increase sales of its products depends in part on the continued growth of the development of products incorporating a 3D graphical interface. There can be no assurance that the market for such user interfaces will continue to grow or that the Company will be able to respond effectively to the evolving requirements of such market. Rapid Technological Change; Dependence on New Product Development. The electronics industry in general, and the markets for the Company's products in particular, are characterized by rapidly changing technology, evolving industry standards, frequent new product introductions, short product life cycles and significant competition. The introduction of products embodying new technologies and the emergence of new industry standards present opportunities for current and potential competitors of the Company to gain market share and can quickly render the Company's products less attractive or obsolete and unmarketable. In order to keep pace with this rapidly changing market environment, the Company must continually develop and incorporate into its products new technological advances and features desired by the marketplace at acceptable prices. The successful development and commercialization of new products involves many risks, including the identification of new product opportunities, the timely completion of the development process, the control and recoupment of development and production costs and acceptance by customers of the Company's products. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in identifying, developing, manufacturing and marketing new products in a timely and cost effective manner, that the Company's products will be accepted in the marketplace, or that products or technologies developed by others will not render the Company's products or technologies uncompetitive. Reliance on Large Customers. The Company had two customers representing 24.3% and 9.8% of revenues for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1996 and two customers representing 17.0% and 14.8% of revenues for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1997. The Company expects that these customers will continue to represent a significant percentage of its revenues for the foreseeable future, although it expects that sales to them will generally decline as a percentage of total revenues. None of these customers is obligated to purchase any specific amount of the Company's products. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to retain any of these companies as customers or, in the event of a reduction or loss of business with any such customer, that the Company could establish other satisfactory relationships for sales of its products. Purchases by these customers are governed by the terms of purchase orders submitted to the Company and by written agreements covering other terms of the sale, including pricing, shipping, quality and warranty. Generally, a customer has the right to cancel or modify quantities and deliveries, without cost, subject to notice requirements. In the event of a cancellation or rescheduling of orders by any customer, the Company may not be able to replace such orders with other sales. The occurrence of any such events could have a material adverse effect on the Company's operating results. Reliance on Third-Party Distribution Channels. While the Company currently markets and sells a significant portion of its products directly to end-users, the Company expects that the portion of its product sales 5 through third-party distribution channels, including original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs"), value added resellers ("VARs"), system integrators and distributors, will increase as its products gain market acceptance. Such OEMs and VARs are not under the control of the Company. Although these customers in turn sell to a wide variety of end-users, the Company is subject not only to the risk that its customers will discontinue selling and marketing its products, but also to the risk that the end-users supplied by the Company's customers will alter their preferences in a manner that has a material adverse effect on the Company's operations. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to retain its current resellers or expand its distribution channels by entering into arrangements with new resellers. Consumer Marketplace. The Company commenced retail shipments of its SpaceOrb 360 during the fiscal year ended March 31, 1997 into the consumer market. Retail distribution channel sales require significantly greater marketing and sales expenditures and post-sale support costs. Penetration of this market is dependent to a significant extent on building relationships with distributors and retailers. An increasing number of vendors compete for access to these distributors and retailers, which generally offer products of several different companies, including products competitive with the Company's products. The Company anticipates that it will commit substantial resources to increase penetration of this distribution channel. In the future, the Company intends to reach the consumer marketplace through three channels strategies: (i) retail sell-through, (ii) sales of turnkey product or core components to OEMs, and (iii) technology licensing and component sales to producers of hardware platforms, such as console game systems and PCs. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in implementing any of these marketing strategies in the consumer marketplace or in launching any new products into these markets, or that any negotiations with leading manufacturers, OEMs or distributors in this marketplace will be successfully completed on terms favorable to the Company. If the Company is successful in penetrating this sales channel, the Company believes that its gross margins would decrease due to the anticipated prices for the Company's products in the retail market, where the Company believes it must price its products below certain levels to penetrate this market, and anticipated cost of revenues in the retail market. The Company further anticipates that its results from sales to retail channels will be significantly affected by seasonality due primarily to the increased demand for 3D game and entertainment applications and related products during the year-end holiday buying season. Retail distributors typically expect that they will be permitted to return inventory to the Company for credit against other purchases on negotiated terms. In addition, the Company anticipates that retail distributors will require price protection clauses in agreements with the Company pursuant to which the Company will be obligated to grant credits if the Company reduces selling prices on products previously purchased by the distributor. Moreover, to the extent the Company generates significant sales to retail distribution channels relative to its sales to OEMs, there is a greater risk of increased product returns and warranty claims. The Company has established reserves for product returns and warranty claims based on its previous experience and future expectations. If the Company is successful in penetrating retail distribution channels, there can be no assurance that these reserves will be adequate or that product returns and warranty claims and price protection adjustments will not have a material adverse effect on future operating results. Competition. The market for computer products is intensely competitive and rapidly changing. The Company's products currently compete against established products and no assurance can be given that the Company's products will not be rendered obsolete by technological advances of others. The Company expects that competition from existing competitors will increase and that new competitors will enter the 3D motion control market. Many of the existing and potential competitors have experienced management, larger technical staffs, more established and larger marketing and sales organizations, better developed distribution systems and significantly greater financial resources than the Company. The Company anticipates that its competitors will ultimately develop hardware products based on technology that does not infringe on the patent rights of the Company, which may provide capabilities similar or superior to those of the Company's products. Increased competition could result in price reductions and loss of market share for the Company. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to compete successfully or that competition will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, operating results and financial condition. 6 Expansion of Operations and Management of Growth. The Company is in a market segment experiencing rapid growth and therefore has added new personnel in various areas of its business. Due to the level of technical and management expertise necessary to support growth, the Company must recruit and retain highly qualified and well-trained personnel. The number of available persons with the requisite skills to serve in these positions may be limited, and it may become increasingly difficult for the Company to hire such personnel over time. The Company's expansion may also significantly strain operational, management, financial and other resources. To manage growth effectively, the Company must continue to enhance its systems and controls and successfully expand, train and manage its employee base. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to manage this expansion effectively, including providing a satisfactory level of customer service and technical support under the stresses exerted by continued growth. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to recruit, train and retain sufficient additional customer service employees to improve its service and satisfactorily respond to the support requests of an increased customer base. Any failure to manage the Company's future growth properly could have a material adverse effect on the Company's operating results. Limited Operating History; Variability of Quarterly Operating Results. The Company was incorporated in April 1991 and began commercial shipments of its products in June 1991. During this time, the Company has experienced fluctuations in quarterly operating results due to factors such as competition, variations in customer demand, changes in average selling prices due to volume discounts, entering new markets and international operations, changes in the mix of products sold, unforeseen production difficulties and the introduction of new products. The Company anticipates that its increased sales in the consumer marketplace will likely result in increasing seasonality of its revenues, reflecting consumer purchasing patterns. In view of the Company's significant growth in the past fiscal years, the Company believes that period-to-period comparisons of its financial results are not necessarily meaningful and should not be relied upon as an indication of future performance. There can be no assurance that revenue growth or profitable operations can be sustained on a quarterly or annual basis in the future. Patents and Proprietary Technology. The Company's success is heavily dependent upon its proprietary hardware and software technology. The Company relies on a combination of patent, trade secret, copyright and trademark law, software license agreements, non-disclosure agreements and technical measures to protect its rights pertaining to its products. Such protection may not preclude competitors from developing products with features similar to the Company's products. The Company's success will depend in part on its ability to obtain and defend United States and foreign patent protection for its products and preserve its trade secrets. There can be no assurance that the Company's issued patents, or any future patents, will provide the Company with significant protection against competitive products or otherwise be commercially valuable. Moreover, there can be no assurance that any patents issued to or licensed by the Company will not be infringed upon by others. In the case of infringement of the Company's technologies, there can be no assurance that the Company would be able to afford the expense of any litigation that may be necessary to enforce its proprietary rights. In addition to seeking patent protection, in some cases the Company may rely on contractual arrangements or trade secrets to protect its proprietary technology. There can be no assurance that trade secrets will be developed and maintained, that secrecy obligations will be honored, or that others will not independently develop similar or superior technology. Disputes as to the ownership of such information may arise if consultants, key employees, or other third parties apply technological information independently developed by them or by others to Company projects, and such disputes may not be resolved in favor of the Company. Due to the importance of patent and trade secret protections and the competitive nature of its industry, the Company may also be subject to claims that its technologies infringe on the proprietary rights of other companies. There can be no assurance that such claims will not arise, that the Company will have sufficient resources to pursue any resulting litigation to a final judgment, or that the Company will prevail in such litigation. Dependence on Suppliers. The Company relies on outside suppliers for substantially all of its parts, components and manufacturing supplies. The microprocessor currently used in the manufacture of one of the Company's hardware products is obtained from a single source supplier. The disruption or termination of the 7 supply of microprocessors from this source would have a material adverse effect on the Company's operations and could cause delays in the delivery of such products. Further, even with respect to "off-the-shelf" components which are available from a large number of suppliers, there can be no assurance that the Company's suppliers will continue to meet all of the Company's needs on a timely basis. Dependence on Contract Manufacturers, Including Overseas Manufacturers. The Company has and will continue to rely on outside vendors to manufacture hardware devices among the Companies products. Although the Company's hardware devices are relatively simple devices to manufacture, and the Company has not encountered any delays in obtaining adequate products from its outside contracting organizations, there can be no assurance that delays incurred or quality problems caused by any of the contract manufacturing organizations will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's ability to fill customer orders. In 1996, the Company entered into a manufacturing contract with a entity located in the People's Republic of China. The Company's reliance on outside manufacturers involves several risks, including a potential inability to obtain an adequate supply of required products, and reduced control over the price, timeliness of delivery, reliability and quality of finished products. Certain of the Company's contract manufacturers have relatively limited financial and other resources. Any inability to obtain timely deliveries of products and services having acceptable qualities or any other circumstance that would require the Company to seek alternative sources of contract manufacturing services or to manufacture its own hardware devices internally, could delay the Company's ability to ship its products. Any such delay could damage relationships with customers and such delay could have a material adverse effect on the Company. The use of a foreign manufacturer, most significantly in a country with an emerging commercial base, subjects the Company to additional risks, including unexpected changes in regulatory requirements and tariffs and difficulties in communications with such foreign entity. Finally, the laws of certain countries do not protect the Company's products and intellectual property rights to the same extent as do the laws of the United States. There can be no assurance that these factors will not have a material adverse effect on the Company. Finally, to the extent that such foreign manufacturer fails to perform in accordance with its contract with the Company or to the extent the Company has other claims against such manufacture, it may be difficult to enforce such claims in the Peoples Republic of China. Attraction and Retention of Key Employees. The Company is dependent on the principal members of its management, including Dennis Gain, President and Chief Executive Officer, John Hilton, Vice President and Chief Technology Scientist, and James Wick, Senior Vice President and Chief Software Scientist. The loss of the services of one or more key employees could have a material adverse effect on the Company. The Company believes that its future success will be affected by its ability to attract and retain skilled technical, managerial and marketing personnel. Although the Company has not experienced difficulty to date, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in attracting or retaining the personnel it requires to continue to grow and operate profitably. The Company maintains life insurance on the lives of Messrs. Gain, Hilton and Wick in the amounts of $2,250,000, $500,000 and $500,000, respectively. Future Capital Needs. The Company's capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the rate at which the Company can develop its products, the market acceptance of such products, the levels of promotion and advertising required to launch such products and attain a competitive position in the marketplace, the response of competitors to the products based on the Company's technology, and capital necessary for potential acquisitions. Changes in technology or a growth of sales beyond currently established capabilities will also require further investment. To the extent that internally generated funds are insufficient to fund the Company's operating requirements, it may be necessary for the Company to seek additional funding through public or private financing. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available on acceptable terms or at all. If additional funds are raised by issuing equity securities, further dilution to the existing stockholders may result. If adequate funds are not available, the Company's business would be materially adversely affected, and, as a result, the Company may be required to curtail its operations significantly. 8 Risks Associated with International Operations. Export sales accounted for 26.0% and 35.8% of revenues for the fiscal years ended March 31, 1997 and 1996 respectively, and the Company expects that export sales will continue to represent a significant portion of its net sales. While most of the Company's export sales are U.S. dollar-denominated, decreases in the value of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar could make the Company's products less price competitive. Export sales and operations may also be materially adversely affected by the imposition of government controls, export license requirements, restrictions on the export of critical technology, political and economic instability, trade restrictions, changes in tariffs and taxes, difficulties in staffing and managing international operations and general economic conditions. Any inability to meet foreign regulatory approvals on a timely basis could have a material adverse effect on the Company's operating results. In addition, the Company's business may be affected by lower sales levels which typically occur during the summer months in Europe and other parts of the world. Absence of Dividends. The Company has never declared or paid cash dividends on its capital stock. The Company currently intends to retain all of its earnings to finance future growth and therefore does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Volatility of Share Price. The market price of the Common Stock has been highly volatile. Publicity regarding actual or potential results relating to products under development by the Company and market conditions for emerging growth companies have had and may continue to have a significant impact on the price of the Common Stock. Announcements of technological innovations or new commercial products by the Company or its competitors, developments or disputes concerning patent or proprietary rights, general regulatory developments affecting the Company's products, period-to-period fluctuations in financial results, and economic and other internal and external factors may also have a significant impact on the price of the Common Stock. 9 SELLING STOCKHOLDERS The Shares being offered hereby were acquired by the persons listed in the table below (the "Selling Stockholders") in private placements of the Company's Common Stock. 1,133,332 Shares were acquired on August 8, 1997.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION The Company has filed with the Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), a Registration Statement on Form S-3, of which this Prospectus is a part, with respect to the resale of the Shares from time to time on the Nasdaq National Market or in privately-negotiated transactions. The 1,133,332 Shares were issued to the Selling Stockholders on August 8, 1997. The Company has been advised that the Selling Stockholders may sell the Shares from time to time in transactions on the Nasdaq National Market, in privately negotiated transactions, or by a combination of such methods of sale, at fixed prices that may be changed, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. The Selling Stockholders may effect such transactions by selling the Shares to or through broker-dealers and such broker-dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the Selling Stockholders or the purchasers of the Shares for whom such broker- dealer may act as agent or to whom they sell as principal or both (which compensation to a particular broker-dealer might be in excess of customary commissions). The Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealer who acts in connection with the sale of Shares hereunder may be deemed to be "underwriters" as that term is defined in the Securities Act, and any commissions received by them and profit on any resale of the Shares as principal might be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. The Selling Stockholders may also sell Shares from time to time in accordance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act. The Company has agreed to indemnify the Selling Stockholders against certain liabilities, including certain liabilities under the Securities Act. LEGALITY OF COMMON STOCK The validity of the shares of Common Stock offered hereby will be passed upon for the Company by Palmer & Dodge LLP, Boston, Massachusetts. Lynnette Fallon, an Assistant Secretary of the Company, is a partner of Palmer & Dodge LLP.

ITEM 15. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS Section 67 of chapter 156B of the Massachusetts Business Corporation Law grants the Registrant the power to indemnify any director, officer, employee or agent to whatever extent permitted by the Registrant's Articles of Organization, By-Laws or a vote adopted by the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote thereon, unless the proposed indemnitee has been adjudicated in any proceeding not to have acted in good faith in the reasonable belief that his or her actions were in the best interests of the corporation or, to the extent that the matter for which indemnification is sought relates to service with respect to an employee benefit plan, in the best interests of the participants or beneficiaries of such employee benefit plan. Such indemnification may include payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred in defending a civil or criminal action or proceeding in advance of the final disposition of such action or proceeding, upon receipt of an undertaking by the person indemnified to repay such payment if he or she shall be adjudicated to be not entitled to indemnification under the statute. Article VI of the Registrant's By-Laws provides that the Registrant shall, to the extent legally permissible, indemnify each person who may serve or who has served at any time as a director or officer of the corporation or of any of its subsidiaries, or who at the request of the corporation may serve or at any time has served as a director, officer or trustee of, or in a similar capacity with, another organization or an employee benefit plan, against all expenses and liabilities (including counsel fees, judgments, fines, excise taxes, penalties and amounts payable in settlements) reasonably incurred by or imposed upon such person in connection with any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or other proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, in which he or she may become involved by reason of his or her serving or having served in such capacity (other than a proceeding voluntarily initiated by such person unless he or she is successful on the merits, the proceeding was authorized by the corporation or the proceeding seeks a declaratory judgment regarding his or her own conduct). Such indemnification shall include payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred in defending a civil or criminal action or proceeding in advance of the final disposition of such action or proceeding, upon receipt of an undertaking by the person indemnified to repay such payment if he or she shall be adjudicated to be not entitled to indemnification under Article VI, which undertaking may be accepted without regard to the financial ability of such person to make repayment. The indemnification provided for in Article VI is a contract right inuring to the benefit of the directors, officers and others entitled to indemnification. In addition, the indemnification is expressly not exclusive of any other rights to which such director, officer or other person may be entitled by contract or otherwise under law, and inures to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person. The Registrant also has in place agreements with certain officers and directors which affirm the Registrant's obligation to indemnify them to the fullest extent permitted by law and contain various procedural and other provisions which expand the protection afforded by the Registrant's By-Laws. II-1 Section 13(b)(1 1/2) of chapter 156B of the Massachusetts Business Corporation Law provides that a corporation may, in its articles of organization, eliminate a director's personal liability to the corporation and its stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of fiduciary duty, except in circumstances involving (i) a breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) unauthorized distributions and loans to insiders and (iv) transactions from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. Section VI.C.5. of the Registrant's Articles of Organization provides that no director shall be personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except to the extent that such exculpation is not permitted under the Massachusetts Business Corporation Law as in effect when such liability is determined.

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 of 1933; (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represents a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement; (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration Statement; provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement. (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered II-2 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 of 1933, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in this 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 of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the provisions referred to in Item 15 hereof, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the 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 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
