                                PNY TECHNOLOGIES

         We are a leading designer and marketer of Flash memory cards, USB Flash
drives, dynamic random access memory, or DRAM, modules, consumer and
professional graphics cards and other computer-related technology products. We
market these products to consumers through traditional retailers, such as Best
Buy Co., Inc., CompUSA, Inc. and Staples, Inc., through other retail and
distribution channels, and directly to professionals. We also design,
manufacture and market custom and standard DRAM modules for original equipment
manufacturers, or OEMs, and their designated contract manufacturers. These
customers include high-end computing, networking, storage and telecommunications
equipment manufacturers, such as LSI Logic Corporation and Network Appliance,
Inc. We currently market our products throughout the United States, as well as
in Canada, Western Europe and certain parts of the Asia Pacific region. For the
year ended December 31, 2003, we had net sales of $364.0 million.

         We believe we are a value-added supplier for many of our customers, and
that our strong customer relationships are the result of our combination of the
following competitive strengths:

         -   Strong brand. We were one of the top ten overall sellers, as
             measured in both dollars and units, at each of our four leading
             retail customers for 2003, according to NPD Intelect. We believe
             that our well recognized PNY Technologies(R) brand allows us to
             collaborate effectively with our retail customers to introduce new
             products and product line extensions.

         -   Broad portfolio of complementary products. Our broad product
             portfolio allows our customers to consolidate their vendor
             relationships and more efficiently manage their inventory. Our
             comprehensive product line also allows us to work with our
             traditional retail customers to provide a variety of
             cross-promotional activities that we believe increases foot
             traffic through their stores.

         -   Merchandising and marketing expertise. We work closely with
             our key customers to create a variety of advertisements,
             promotions and product bundles, which reduces our reliance on
             traditional consumer incentives and increases our customers' sales.

         -   Strong supplier relationships. Many of our key supplier
             relationships are more than a decade old. We believe our purchasing
             history with these suppliers has enabled us to obtain adequate
             supplies of our products during periods of industry shortage.

         -   Supply-chain management expertise. We believe our logistical
             operations, supply-chain management expertise and operational
             flexibility help our retail and OEM customers better manage their
             inventory, thereby reducing their exposure to potential price
             fluctuations and further strengthening our customer relationships.

         We operate through two divisions: Consumer and OEM. We market our
complete line of products through our Consumer division, including:

         -   Flash memory cards. Flash memory cards are used to store data in
             digital cameras, multimedia cell phones, MP3 players, personal
             digital assistants, or PDAs, and other consumer electronic devices.
             According to NPD Intelect, we had an 11.0% share of the U.S. retail
             market in Flash memory cards for 2003.

                                       1

         -        USB Flash drives. USB Flash drives are self-contained, compact
                  computer drives with no moving parts. We introduced our
                  Attache((TM)) line of USB Flash drives in June 2003, and
                  according to NPD Intelect, for the last six months of 2003, we
                  had a 17.9% share of the U.S. retail market.

         -        DRAM modules. DRAM modules are compact circuit board
                  assemblies of DRAM semiconductors and related circuitry. DRAM
                  upgrades provide a cost-effective way of improving the speed
                  and performance of desktop and laptop computers. According to
                  NPD Intelect, we have been the leading supplier of DRAM
                  modules to the U.S. retail market in each of the last six
                  years, and we had a 40.2% share and a 64.3% share of the U.S.
                  retail market for desktop and laptop DRAM upgrades,
                  respectively, for 2003.

         -        Graphics cards. Our consumer graphics cards are used to
                  enhance the performance of graphics-intensive applications on
                  desktop computers. According to NPD Intelect, we had a 24.1%
                  share of the U.S. retail market for consumer graphics cards
                  for 2003. We are the exclusive provider of NVIDIA
                  Corporation-based professional graphics cards to the
                  professional aftermarket in the United States, Western Europe
                  and other regions. These cards are used by game developers,
                  computer assisted design, or CAD, engineers, digital animators
                  and others who require advanced graphics capabilities.

         In our OEM division, our engineers work with OEMs or their designated
contract manufacturers to design and manufacture custom and standard DRAM
modules. Our OEM products include a broad range of DRAM modules that incorporate
leading-edge, mainstream and trailing-edge memory technologies. OEMs use these
modules in a variety of applications, including high-end computing products,
such as servers and workstations, as well as networking, storage and
telecommunications equipment products.

MARKET OPPORTUNITY

         We believe that our strengths and our product offerings make us well
positioned to take advantage of the expected growth in the market for Flash
memory and related products. Semico Research forecasts that worldwide sales of
Flash memory cards will grow from $2.0 billion in 2002 to $11.9 billion in 2006,
a 56.4% compound annual growth rate. We believe this growth will be driven by
the continuing proliferation of consumer electronic products that use Flash
memory cards as their primary data storage device, such as digital cameras,
multimedia cell phones, MP3 players and PDAs. We believe that the market for USB
Flash drives, such as our Attache((TM)) device, will grow at an even greater
rate. We believe USB Flash drives are beginning to replace floppy disk drives
because of their small size, ease of use, rewrite capability, speed and
security. Gartner Dataquest estimates that the worldwide market for USB Flash
drives will grow from $135.6 million in 2002 to $1.7 billion in 2007, a 66.3%
compound annual growth rate.

         We believe consumer and OEM demand for DRAM will increase due to the
greater complexity of software enabled by increasing computer processing power,
the development of high-bandwidth and graphics-intensive applications, evolving
Internet and telecommunications infrastructure requirements, increased
information technology, or IT, spending and computer-related equipment upgrades.
Gartner Dataquest estimates that the worldwide market for DRAM will increase
from $15.5 billion in 2002 to $23.4 billion in 2007.

BUSINESS STRATEGY

         Our goal is to enhance our competitive position as a leading designer
and marketer of computer-related technology products. We seek to accomplish this
goal through the following strategies:

         -        Capitalize on the growing demand for Flash products. We
                  believe that the Flash memory industry will experience
                  significant growth, driven by widespread adoption of consumer
                  electronic devices with increasing data storage requirements
                  and the adoption of USB Flash drives as a common storage
                  device. We plan to capitalize on this growth by continuing to
                  aggressively market our comprehensive offering of Flash memory
                  products and by optimizing our opportunities to introduce new
                  Flash memory products. For 2003, net sales of our Flash
                  products increased by 132.4% compared to 2002.

                                       2

         -        Introduce complementary product lines. We plan to capitalize
                  on our brand by further broadening our product portfolio with
                  new products that complement our existing offerings, as we did
                  with our Attache((TM)) USB Flash drive introduced in June 2003
                  and our Executive Attache((TM)) in January 2004. We plan to
                  take advantage of the growing computer, consumer electronics,
                  storage and networking markets by initially focusing on the
                  product needs of our existing customer base and expanding into
                  new markets as opportunities arise.

         -        Expand OEM market presence. As demand returns for networking,
                  storage and high-end computing products, we plan to maintain
                  our relationships with our existing customers and selectively
                  add new customers. One of our strengths in the OEM market is
                  our ability to access trailing-edge memory technologies not
                  readily available to other suppliers, which often offers us
                  increased profit opportunities.

         -        Further broaden our geographic presence. We intend to expand
                  our geographic presence by targeting emerging and growing
                  markets, such as the Far East, for both Consumer and OEM
                  market expansion. Our facility in Taiwan allows us to increase
                  our operational flexibility by establishing new supplier and
                  contract manufacturing relationships, strengthening our
                  existing supplier relationships and improving access to new
                  technologies and products.

         -        Continue to focus on superior customer service. We intend to
                  focus our resources and expertise on providing superior
                  quality and service to a core group of market leaders. We plan
                  to further integrate our business with that of our existing
                  retail customers, while seeking new customers that we believe
                  have the potential to generate significant revenue.

         -        Pursue acquisitions of complementary technologies, products or
                  companies. We may make acquisitions to strengthen our position
                  in our target markets, enhance our technology base, increase
                  our supply capabilities or expand our geographic presence.

                                  RISK FACTORS

         You should carefully consider the risks described below, as well as the
other information in this prospectus, before making a decision to invest in our
common stock. The occurrence of any of the following risks could harm our
business and prospects and cause the trading price of our shares to decline,
perhaps significantly.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS

SALES TO A SMALL NUMBER OF CUSTOMERS REPRESENT A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF OUR NET
SALES. IF WE WERE TO LOSE ONE OF OUR MAJOR CUSTOMERS OR EXPERIENCE ANY MATERIAL
REDUCTION IN ORDERS FROM ANY OF THEM, OUR NET SALES AND OPERATING RESULTS WOULD
SUFFER.

         Sales to our five leading customers accounted for approximately 50% of
our net sales for 2002 and 2003. Our sales are made by standard purchase orders
rather than long-term contracts. In addition, our exclusive relationship with
NVIDIA to market their Quadro graphic cards in the aftermarket is not formalized
and, as a result, could be terminated or altered by NVIDIA without notice to us.
In 2001, when a larger portion of our sales were to OEMs, we lost our largest
customer due, in large part, to a downturn in the technology market and vendor
consolidation efforts by that customer, which adversely affected our business.
Due primarily to the loss of that customer, our annual net sales declined by
$234.1 million in 2001, compared to 2000. While our customer base is
significantly more diversified than in 2001, our strategy is to continue to
focus on a core group of customers. If we were to lose one of our major
customers or experience any material reduction in orders from any of these
customers, it could have a material adverse effect on our business and results
of operations.

THE PRODUCTS WE SELL ARE SUBJECT TO RAPIDLY CHANGING TECHNOLOGIES, WHICH WE
OFTEN MUST OBTAIN OR LICENSE FROM THIRD PARTIES. OUR FAILURE TO OBTAIN NEEDED
PRODUCTS, TECHNOLOGIES OR LICENSES COULD HARM OUR BUSINESS.

         The products we market are subject to rapid technological change and
evolving industry standards. We rely on third parties for non-exclusive license
rights in the technologies that are necessary for the operation of our products.
Because we license the intellectual property that we use, competitive barriers
to entry may be lower than if we owned exclusive rights to that technology.
Moreover, if a competitor or potential competitor enters into an exclusive
arrangement with any of our key third-party technology providers, our ability to
develop and sell products containing that technology could be severely limited
or curtailed entirely. We currently market CompactFlash(R), Secure Digital,
MultiMedia Card and SmartMedia(R) Flash memory card formats. We do not currently
market certain other Flash memory card formats, whose percentages of the Flash
memory card market could increase and reduce demand for our products. Our
success depends in part on our continued ability to use the technologies for
which we do have licenses and our ability to obtain the licenses for other
technologies. We do not know whether we will continue to be able to license
these technologies on commercially reasonable terms, if at all. If we are unable
to license the necessary technology, we may be forced to acquire or develop
alternative technology, which may be more costly or of a lower quality or
performance standard. This could limit and delay our ability to offer
competitive products, increase our costs of production or harm our brands and
reputation. As a result, it could have a material adverse effect on our business
and results of operations.

IF WE DO NOT EFFECTIVELY MANAGE OUR INVENTORY AND PRODUCT MIX, WE MAY INCUR
COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH EXCESS INVENTORY OR LOSE SALES FROM NOT HAVING ENOUGH
INVENTORY.

         If we are unable to properly monitor, control and manage our inventory
and maintain an appropriate level and mix of products with our customers, we may
incur increased and unexpected costs associated with this inventory. For
example, if our Consumer division customers are unable to sell their inventory
in a timely manner, we may choose or be required to lower the price of our
products or allow our customers to exchange the slow-moving products for newer
products. Similarly, if we improperly forecast demand for our products, we could
end up with excess inventory that we may be unable to sell in a timely manner,
if at all. As a result, we could incur increased expenses associated with
writing off excess or obsolete inventory. In addition, some of our inventory is
sold on a consignment basis, and we have very little ability to control or
manage that inventory. Alternatively, we could end up with too little inventory
and we may not be able to satisfy demand, which could have a material

                                       7

adverse effect on our customer relationships. Our risks related to inventory
management are exacerbated by our strategy of closely matching inventory levels
with product demand, leaving limited margin for error.

THE AVERAGE SELLING PRICES OF OUR PRODUCTS OFTEN DECREASE, WHICH MAY NEGATIVELY
AFFECT OUR GROSS MARGINS.

         Our products often experience price erosion over their life cycle. In
order to maintain gross profits for products that have a declining average
selling price, we must continuously reduce costs or increase sales volume. We
must also successfully manage our inventory to reduce our overall exposure to
price erosion. In the OEM DRAM market specifically, we must collaborate with our
contract manufacturers and suppliers to create the most cost-effective design
for our products in order to manage costs. If we are unable to manage the cost
of procuring trailing-edge memory products or if we are unsuccessful in
introducing new products with higher gross margins, our business will suffer. In
the consumer graphics card market, there is a constant demand for leading-edge
memory products, which can result in excess inventory of older products and
price erosion. Finally, the Flash memory industry is beginning to show signs of
price erosion, as rapid technological change causes the value of older products
to erode. If we are unable to properly manage our inventories of these products,
it could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of
operations.

WE OBTAIN MANY OF OUR PRODUCTS FROM LIMITED OR SOLE SUPPLIERS, AND IF THESE
SUPPLIERS FAIL TO MEET OUR SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS OR CEASE PRODUCTION OF OUR
PRODUCTS, WE MAY LOSE SALES AND EXPERIENCE INCREASED COSTS.

         Our product inventory strategy is to maintain as little inventory as is
necessary for the efficient operation of our business, which creates the risk
that any shortage or delay in the supply of our products could harm our ability
to meet demand. We obtain many of our products from a limited number of
suppliers on a purchase order basis. None of our suppliers have a contractual
commitment to supply us with products. These products include our Flash memory
cards and related products and some of our DRAM modules. We obtain virtually all
of the graphics processors for our Verto(R) graphics cards and all of the NVIDIA
Quadro(R) graphics cards directly from NVIDIA. If demand for a specific product
or component increases, we may not be able to obtain an adequate supply of that
product or component in a timely manner, since our suppliers may fill other
orders before ours. It could be difficult, costly and time-consuming to obtain
alternative sources for these components, or to change product designs to make
use of alternative products or components. In addition, difficulties in
transitioning from an existing supplier to a new supplier could create delays in
product or component availability that would have a significant impact on our
ability to fulfill orders for our products. This would adversely impact our
ability to meet demand and damage our brand and reputation in the market, which
could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

WE ARE SUBJECT TO THE CYCLICAL NATURE OF THE SEMICONDUCTOR INDUSTRY AND ANY
FUTURE DOWNTURN COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR BUSINESS.

         The semiconductor industry is highly cyclical and characterized by
constant and rapid technological change, rapid product obsolescence and price
erosion, evolving standards, short product life cycles and wide fluctuations in
product supply and demand. The DRAM market has experienced significant downturns
often connected with, or in anticipation of, maturing product cycles and
declines in general economic conditions. These downturns have been characterized
by diminished product demand, production overcapacity, high inventory levels and
accelerated erosion of average sales prices. It is impossible to predict whether
demand for our products will diminish or costs for any of our products will
increase. The Flash memory market is a relatively new market. As more Flash
memory production capacity comes online, it is possible that supply could exceed
demand. Any future downturns could have a material adverse effect on our
business and results of operations.

OUR FAILURE TO EFFECTIVELY COMPETE BY FAILING TO RESPOND TO PRICE VOLATILITY,
MATCH COMPETITORS' PRICES OR SERVICES OR IMPROVE BRAND RECOGNITION COULD REDUCE
OUR PROFITABILITY. INCREASED COMPETITION FROM VERTICALLY INTEGRATED OR
BETTER-POSITIONED COMPANIES MAY RESULT IN DECREASED DEMAND OR LOWER PRICES FOR
OUR PRODUCTS.

         We compete primarily on the basis of service, quality, brand and value.
Some of our competitors include large domestic and international companies that
have substantially greater financial, technical, marketing, distribution and
other resources, broader product lines, lower cost structures and long-term
contracts with customers and suppliers. As a result, our competitors may be
better able than we to respond to volatile average sales prices, to

                                       8

deliver competitive products at a lower price, to provide services we cannot and
compete based on brand recognition.

         Some of our significant suppliers, such as Micron Technology, Inc. and
Panasonic Computer Solutions Company, as well as certain of our contract
manufacturers, are also our competitors. These suppliers may be able to market
competitive products at lower prices than ours due to lower underlying costs
because they are vertically integrated. We also face competition in the OEM
sales division from current and prospective customers that evaluate our
capabilities against the merits of manufacturing products internally. Our
inability to effectively compete in our markets could have a material adverse
effect on our business and results of operations.

THE SUCCESS OF OUR CONSUMER DIVISION STRATEGY DEPENDS ON OUR BRAND. IF OUR
MARKETING EFFORTS ARE NOT SUCCESSFUL OR IF WE EXPERIENCE QUALITY OR SUPPLY
PROBLEMS, THEN OUR CONSUMER DIVISION COULD SUFFER.

         We believe that brand recognition is critical to our success. We plan
to increase our marketing expenditures to create and maintain prominent brand
awareness. If we fail to promote our brands successfully, or if the expenses
associated with doing so are disproportionate to any increased net sales we
achieve, it could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of
operations. In addition, if our products exhibit poor performance or other
defects, then it could have a material adverse effect on our brands.

WE MAY BECOME INVOLVED IN LITIGATION OVER INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS, WHICH
MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR ABILITY TO MANUFACTURE AND SELL OUR PRODUCTS.

         Our industry is characterized by vigorous protection and pursuit of
intellectual property rights. Third parties may bring suits against us or we may
be called upon to indemnify our customers for any intellectual property right
infringements by us. Litigation could result in significant expense to us and
divert the efforts of our technical and management personnel. In the event of an
adverse result in litigation, we could be required to pay substantial damages,
cease the manufacture, use and sale of some products, expend significant
resources to develop non-infringing technology, discontinue the use of some
processes or obtain licenses to use the infringed technology. Any of these
results could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of
operations.

OUR INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS TO OUR CUSTOMERS FOR PRODUCT DEFECTS COULD
REQUIRE US TO PAY SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGES.

         A number of our product sales agreements provide that we will defend,
indemnify and hold harmless our customers from damages and costs that arise from
product warranty claims or claims for injury or damage resulting from defects in
our products. Our insurance coverage may not be adequate to cover all or any
part of the claims asserted against us. A successful claim brought against us
that is in excess of, or excluded from, our insurance coverage could have a
material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

OUR INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS SUBJECT US TO RISKS, SUCH AS FOREIGN CURRENCY
FLUCTUATIONS, WHICH COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR OPERATING RESULTS.

         General economic conditions and fluctuations in currency exchange rates
affect the prices of our products and certain of our costs. International sales
of our products accounted for approximately 28.6% of our net sales for 2003. We
sell a significant portion of our products in western European markets, such as
France, the United Kingdom and Germany. A significant portion of our European
sales is denominated in local currencies, principally the euro and British
pound. If there were a significant devaluation of these currencies against the
U.S. dollar, the operating results of our European subsidiaries, when expressed
in U.S. dollars, could be adversely affected. In addition, because we
manufacture products and have employees in foreign countries, our costs and
operations could be adversely impacted by currency fluctuations. International
operations are subject to a number of other risks as well, including:

         -        political and economic instability, international terrorism
                  and anti-American sentiment, particularly in emerging markets;

                                       9

         -        preference for locally-branded products, and laws and business
                  practices favoring local competition;

         -        unusual or burdensome foreign laws or regulations, and
                  unexpected changes to those laws or regulations;

         -        import and export license requirements, tariffs, taxes and
                  other barriers;

         -        costs of customizing products for foreign countries;

         -        increased difficulty in managing inventory;

         -        less effective protection of intellectual property; and

         -        difficulties and costs of staffing and managing foreign
                  operations.

Any or all of these factors could adversely affect our ability to execute our
geographic expansion strategy or have a material adverse effect on our business
and results of operations.

OUR ABILITY TO OPERATE OUR COMPANY EFFECTIVELY COULD BE IMPAIRED IF WE LOSE KEY
PERSONNEL.

         Our success depends on the continued contributions of our senior
management, particularly Gadi Cohen, our President, Chief Executive Officer and
Chairman of our Board of Directors. Although Mr. Cohen will remain our majority
shareholder following this offering, we do not have an employment agreement with
him. The loss of Mr. Cohen could have a material adverse effect on us.

         Competition for employees in our industry is intense. We have had, and
may continue to have, difficulty hiring the necessary sales and marketing,
management and engineering personnel to support our growth. We cannot assure you
that key personnel will continue to be employed by us or that we will be able to
attract and retain qualified personnel in the future. We do not have "key
person" life insurance to cover our executive officers. Failure to retain or
attract key personnel could have a material adverse effect on us.

WE EXPECT OUR OPERATING RESULTS TO FLUCTUATE IN FUTURE PERIODS, CAUSING OUR
STOCK PRICE TO BE VOLATILE.

         Our operating results have fluctuated in the past, and we believe they
will continue to do so in the future. Our future results of operations will
depend on many factors, including:

         -        seasonal purchasing patterns for our products;

         -        our ability to procure our products or components or
                  fluctuations in the cost of such products or components;

         -        fluctuating market demand for, and changes in the average
                  sales prices of, our products;

         -        changes in our product and revenue mix;

         -        market acceptance of new and enhanced versions of our
                  products;

         -        the timing of the introduction of new products or components
                  and enhancements to our existing products; and

         -        our ability to adequately support future growth.

Due to these and other factors, quarterly revenues and results of operations are
difficult to forecast, and period-to-period comparisons of our operating results
may not be meaningful or predictive of future performance. In one or

                                       10

more future quarters, our results of operations may fall below our expectations
and those of our investors. In that event, the trading price of our common stock
would likely decline.

WE MAY MAKE ACQUISITIONS THAT ARE DILUTIVE TO EXISTING SHAREHOLDERS. IN
ADDITION, OUR LIMITED EXPERIENCE IN ACQUIRING OTHER BUSINESSES, PRODUCT LINES
AND TECHNOLOGIES MAY MAKE IT DIFFICULT FOR US TO OVERCOME PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED
IN CONNECTION WITH ANY ACQUISITIONS WE MAY UNDERTAKE.

         We intend to evaluate and explore strategic opportunities as they
arise, including business combinations, strategic partnerships, capital
investments and the purchase, licensing or sale of assets. In connection with
any such future transaction, we could issue dilutive equity securities, incur
substantial debt, reduce our cash reserves or assume contingent liabilities. In
addition, we may fund all or a portion of the purchase price of a future
acquisition with the proceeds from this offering.

         Our experience in acquiring other businesses, product lines and
technologies is limited. Our inability to overcome problems encountered in
connection with any acquisitions could divert the attention of management,
utilize scarce corporate resources and otherwise harm our business. Any
potential future acquisitions also involve numerous risks, including:

         -        problems assimilating the purchased operations, technologies
                  or products;

         -        costs associated with the acquisition;

         -        adverse effects on existing business relationships with
                  suppliers and customers;

         -        risks associated with entering markets in which we have no or
                  limited prior experience;

         -        potential loss of key employees of purchased organizations;
                  and

         -        potential litigation arising from the acquired company's
                  operations before the acquisition.

         Furthermore, acquisitions may require material charges and could result
in adverse tax consequences, substantial depreciation, deferred compensation
charges, in-process research and development charges, the amortization of
amounts related to deferred compensation and identifiable purchased intangible
assets or impairment of goodwill, any of which could negatively affect our
results of operations.

IF WE ARE UNABLE TO OBTAIN ADDITIONAL FINANCING, WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SUPPORT
OUR FUTURE GROWTH.

         We may need to raise additional capital through public or private
equity offerings or debt financings to support our growth strategy. We do not
know whether additional financing will be available when needed, or, if
available, whether the terms of any financing will be favorable to us. If we
cannot raise needed funds on acceptable terms, we may not be able to develop or
enhance our products, improve our manufacturing lines and testing equipment,
take advantage of future opportunities, including acquisitions, or respond to
competitive pressures or unanticipated events, all of which could harm our
business and results of operations. To the extent we raise additional capital by
issuing equity securities, our stockholders may experience substantial dilution
and the new equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior
to those of our common stock.

RISKS RELATED TO THIS OFFERING

THE MARKET PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK MAY FLUCTUATE SIGNIFICANTLY, WHICH COULD
RESULT IN A DECLINE IN THE VALUE OF YOUR INVESTMENT.

         We believe that the market price of our common stock, like that of
other technology companies, is likely to be volatile. The price of our common
stock that will prevail in the market after this offering may be higher or lower
than the price you pay, depending on many factors, including:

                                       11

         -        actual or anticipated fluctuations in our quarterly results of
                  operations;

         -        changes in our or security analysts' estimates of our
                  operating results;

         -        announcements by us or our competitors of new products or
                  strategic partnerships;

         -        a loss of, or decrease in, sales to major customers;

         -        additions or departures of key personnel;

         -        future sales of our common stock, particularly by our
                  officers; and

         -        commencement of or involvement in litigation.

         In addition, the stock market in general, and the market for technology
companies in particular, have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations
that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance
of those companies. These broad market and industry factors may seriously harm
the market price of our common stock, regardless of our actual operating
performance. If our stock price were to experience a sudden and significant
decline, then we could face litigation and associated costs and disruption to
our business.

OUR MANAGEMENT WILL HAVE BROAD DISCRETION TO USE THE PROCEEDS FROM THIS
OFFERING, INCLUDING THE ABILITY TO APPLY THE PROCEEDS TO USES THAT DO NOT
INCREASE OUR OPERATING RESULTS OR MARKET VALUE.

         Our management will have considerable discretion in the application of
the net proceeds of this offering. You will not have the opportunity, as part of
your investment decision, to assess whether the net proceeds are being used
appropriately. The net proceeds may be used for corporate purposes that do not
increase our operating results or market value. Prior to being used in our
business, the net proceeds of this offering may be placed in investments that do
not produce income or that lose value. The failure to apply these funds
effectively could impair our financial condition.

ANTI-TAKEOVER PROVISIONS IN OUR CHARTER DOCUMENTS AND DELAWARE LAW COULD PREVENT
OR DELAY A CHANGE IN CONTROL AND, AS A RESULT, NEGATIVELY AFFECT OUR
STOCKHOLDERS.

         We have taken a number of actions that could have the effect of
discouraging a takeover attempt. Our certificate of incorporation grants our
Board of Directors the authority to fix the rights, preferences and privileges
of and issue shares of preferred stock without stockholder action. Although we
have no present intention to issue shares of preferred stock, such an issuance
could have the effect of making it more difficult and less attractive for a
third-party to acquire a majority of our outstanding voting stock. Preferred
stock may also have other rights, including economic rights senior to our common
stock, which could have a material adverse effect on the market value of our
common stock. In addition, we are subject to the anti-takeover provisions of
Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. This section generally
provides that a corporation may not engage in any business combination with any
interested stockholder during the three-year period following the time that a
stockholder became an interested stockholder. This provision could have the
effect of delaying or preventing a change of control of our company.

THE LARGE NUMBER OF SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR PUBLIC SALE AFTER THIS OFFERING COULD
CAUSE OUR STOCK PRICE TO DECLINE.

         Our current stockholders hold a substantial number of shares of our
common stock that they will be able to sell in the public market in the near
future. A significant portion of these shares are held by a small number of
stockholders. Sales by our current stockholders of a substantial number of
shares after this offering could significantly reduce the market price of our
common stock. In addition, the perception that our current stockholders might
sell common stock could depress the trading price of the common stock. Sales of
our shares and the possibility of these sales, could make it more difficult for
us to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and price
that we consider appropriate.

                                       12

         Upon the consummation of this offering, 13,268 shares of our Series A
preferred stock will be automatically converted into 3,980,400 shares of common
stock, and the holders of these shares will have the right, subject to some
conditions, to require us to file registration statements covering their shares
or to include their shares in registration statements that we may file for
ourselves or other stockholders. In addition, after this offering, we intend to
register all common stock that we may issue under our employee stock option
plan. Once we register these shares, they can be freely sold in the public
market upon issuance, subject to the lock-up agreements described in the section
entitled "Shares Eligible for Future Sale -- Lock-up Agreements." If any of
these holders cause a large number of securities to be sold in the public
market, the sales could reduce the trading price of our common stock. These
sales also could impede our ability to raise future capital.

MAJORITY OWNERSHIP BY OUR PRINCIPAL STOCKHOLDER MAY PREVENT NEW INVESTORS FROM
INFLUENCING SIGNIFICANT CORPORATE DECISIONS.

         Upon completion of this offering, Gadi Cohen, our Chief Executive
Officer, President and Chairman of our Board of Directors, will beneficially
own, in total, approximately    % of our outstanding common stock,    % if the
underwriters exercise their over-allotment option in full. As a result, Mr.
Cohen will have the ability to exert substantial influence over all matters
requiring approval by our stockholders, including the election and removal of
directors and any proposed merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially
all of our assets and other corporate transactions. He could dictate the
management of our business and affairs. This control could be disadvantageous to
other stockholders with interests different from those of Mr. Cohen. For
example, Mr. Cohen could delay or prevent an acquisition or merger even if the
transaction would benefit other stockholders. In addition, this majority
ownership may adversely affect the trading price for our common stock because
investors often perceive disadvantages in owning stock in companies with
controlling stockholders. In addition, because we will be a "controlled
company," we will be exempt from many of the recently adopted Nasdaq Qualitative
Listing Standards. As a result, you will not have the benefit of certain
requirements, such as having a majority of independent directors on the Board,
which shareholders in non-controlled companies possess.

THE LIQUIDITY OF OUR COMMON STOCK IS UNCERTAIN BECAUSE IT HAS NEVER BEEN
PUBLICLY TRADED, AND YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO RESELL YOUR SHARES AT OR ABOVE THE
PRICE YOU PAID.

         There is no existing public market for our common stock. As a result,
the initial public offering price will be determined by negotiations among the
underwriters and us, and may not be indicative of prices that will prevail in
the public trading markets. We also cannot predict the extent to which a trading
market for our common stock will develop or how liquid that market will be. You
may not be able to resell your shares at or above the initial public offering
price.

                                       13

                           FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

         This prospectus contains forward-looking statements, including
statements concerning conditions in the Flash memory, high performance
computing, networking and communications and consumer electronics industries,
and concerning our business, financial condition, operating strategies, and our
operational and legal risks. We use words like "believe," "expect,"
"anticipate," "intend," "future," "plan" and other similar expressions to
identify forward-looking statements. You should not place undue reliance on
these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this
prospectus. These forward-looking statements are based on our current
expectations and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including
those identified under "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in this prospectus. Although
we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements
are reasonable, our actual results could differ materially from those expressed
in these forward-looking statements, and any events anticipated in the
forward-looking statements may not actually occur. Except as required by law, we
undertake no duty to update any forward-looking statements after the date of
this prospectus to conform those statements to actual results or to reflect the
occurrence of unanticipated events.

                                       14

                                 USE OF PROCEEDS

         We estimate that the net proceeds from this offering will be
approximately $      million, or approximately $      million if the
underwriters exercise their over-allotment option in full, based on an assumed
initial public offering price of $      per share and after deducting the
underwriting discount and our estimated offering expenses.

         We intend to use the net proceeds of this offering to repay
substantially all of our existing indebtedness, which was $45.4 million at
December 31, 2003. The remainder of the net proceeds, approximately $
million, will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes. If
suitable opportunities are available, we may use a portion of the net proceeds
currently intended for working capital for the acquisition of, or investment in,
companies, manufacturing facilities, technologies or other assets that
complement our business. We have no present understandings, commitments or
agreements to enter into any potential acquisitions or investments.

         Our revolving U.S. credit facility will be repaid in its entirety with
the net proceeds of this offering. As of December 31, 2003, we had $40.0 million
outstanding under this facility. This facility matures on February 23, 2007, and
had a blended interest rate of 3.57% at December 31, 2003. As of December 31,
2003, we owed Ruth Cohen, our Chief Executive Officer's spouse, approximately
$5.0 million. The note held by Mrs. Cohen has an interest rate of 4.25% per
annum and has a maturity date of December 31, 2004, subject to our option to
extend the maturity date for up to five years. The note must be repaid with the
proceeds of this offering. See the discussion under the heading "Related Party
Transactions" for additional information relating to this obligation.

         Pending use of the net proceeds as described above, we intend to invest
the net proceeds of this offering in short-term, interest-bearing securities.

                                 DIVIDEND POLICY

         We have never declared or paid dividends on our common stock and we do
not anticipate paying any dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable
future. We currently expect to retain all earnings, if any, for investment in
our business. In addition, the terms of our credit facility, which we plan to
repay with the net proceeds of this offering, prohibit us from paying dividends
without our lenders' consent.

         We will pay dividends on our common stock only if and when declared by
our Board of Directors. The Board's ability to declare a dividend is subject to
limits imposed by Delaware corporate law. In determining whether to declare
dividends, the Board will consider these limits, our financial condition,
results of operations, working capital requirements, future prospects and other
factors it considers relevant.

                                       15

                                 CAPITALIZATION

         The following table sets forth our cash and cash equivalents and
capitalization, as of December 31, 2003, on:

         -        an actual basis; and

         -        a pro forma as adjusted basis to reflect (1) the automatic
                  conversion of 13,268 outstanding shares of our Series A
                  preferred stock into 3,980,400 shares of our common stock upon
                  the consummation of this offering with an effective conversion
                  price of $3.85 per share, (2) the automatic conversion of
                  1,117 treasury shares of Series A preferred stock into 335,100
                  treasury shares of common stock, (3) our proposed sale of
                          shares of common stock in this offering at an assumed
                  initial public offering price of $       per share and (4) our
                  application of the estimated net proceeds of this offering
                  after deducting fees and expenses. See "Use of Proceeds" and
                  "Description of Capital Stock."

         The capitalization information in the table below is qualified by, and
should be read in conjunction with, our consolidated financial statements and
related notes appearing elsewhere in this prospectus. The table does not include
2,497,080 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of options outstanding
as of December 31, 2003 at a weighted average exercise price of $3.03 per share
or the 49,500 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of warrants
outstanding as of December 31, 2003 at an exercise price of $0.03 per share held

                                    DILUTION

         Our pro forma net tangible book value, as of December 31, 2003, was
$15.6 million, or $0.50 per share of common stock. We calculate net tangible
book value per share by subtracting our total liabilities from our total
tangible assets, which equals total assets less intangible assets, and dividing
this amount by the number of shares of common stock outstanding on a pro forma
basis, as of December 31, 2003, after giving effect to the automatic conversion
of all of our outstanding Series A preferred stock into 3,980,400 shares of
common stock upon the consummation of this offering with an effective conversion
price of $3.85 per share. Assuming we sell        shares of common stock in this
offering at an assumed initial public offering price of $        per share, and
assuming the application of the estimated net proceeds from this offering as set
forth in "Use of Proceeds," our pro forma net tangible book value, as of
December 31, 2003, would have been $         million, or $         per share of
common stock. On the basis of the foregoing assumptions, there will be an
immediate increase in pro forma net tangible book value of $         per share
to our existing stockholders and an immediate dilution in net tangible book
value of $         per share to new investors. The following table illustrates
this per share dilution:

         The following table summarizes, on a pro forma as adjusted basis as of
December 31, 2003, the difference between our existing stockholders and new
investors with respect to the number of shares of common stock purchased from
us, the total consideration paid to us, and the average price per share paid.
The following table does not include shares subject to outstanding options,
outstanding warrants or options reserved for issuance under our employee stock
option plan as of December 31, 2003. To the extent that outstanding options or
warrants are exercised and shares of common stock are issued, there will be
further dilution to new investors.

         If the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option in full, the
number of shares of common stock held by new investors will increase to
shares, or approximately     % of the total number of shares of common stock to
be outstanding immediately after this offering.

                             SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

         We have derived the consolidated statement of operations data for the
years ended December 31, 2001, 2002 and 2003 and the consolidated balance sheet
data as of December 31, 2002 and 2003 from our audited consolidated financial
statements included elsewhere in this prospectus. We have derived the
consolidated statement of operations data for the years ended December 31, 1999
and 2000 and the consolidated balance sheet data as of December 31, 1999, 2000
and 2001 from our audited consolidated financial statements, although those
financial statements are not included in this prospectus. The pro forma net
income per common share for the year ended December 31, 2003 reflects the
conversion of all of our outstanding Series A preferred stock into shares of
common stock described under "Capitalization," which will result in the issuance
of an aggregate of 3,980,400 shares of common stock, as if the conversion had
occurred on the first day of such period. You should read the following selected
consolidated financial data in conjunction with our consolidated financial
statements and related notes and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations" appearing elsewhere in this
prospectus.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         You should read the following discussion together with our consolidated
financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this prospectus.
This discussion contains forward-looking statements regarding the electronics
industry and our expectations regarding our future performance, liquidity and
capital resources. Our actual results could differ materially from those
expressed in these forward-looking statements. See "Forward-Looking Statements."

OVERVIEW

         We are a leading designer and marketer of Flash memory cards, USB Flash
drives, DRAM modules, consumer and professional graphics cards and other
computer-related technology products. We market these products to consumers
through traditional retailers, such as Best Buy, CompUSA and Staples, through
other retail and distribution channels, and directly to professionals. We also
design, manufacture and market custom and standard DRAM modules for OEMs and
their designated contract manufacturers.

         Prior to 2000, we were primarily focused on marketing DRAM modules
through both our Consumer and OEM divisions. In 2000, we experienced significant
growth, resulting primarily from increased sales to one OEM customer. However,
by the end of 2000 and throughout 2001 and 2002, net sales of DRAM to our OEM
customers declined significantly as a result of the deteriorating economy and
excess inventory throughout the electronics supply chain.

         Because of the volatile nature of the DRAM market, we made a strategic
decision in 2000 to diversify our business by marketing complementary consumer
products that capitalized on our existing customer and supplier relationships.
As a result of this strategy, we offered our first new consumer product in the
first quarter of 2000. Since then, we have introduced our consumer and
professional lines of graphics cards, a variety of Flash memory cards and
related products and, most recently, our USB Flash drives. Growth in sales of
these consumer products has been the primary factor in our increased net sales
since 2000. Our Consumer division net sales increased from $173.3 million for
the year ended December 31, 2000 to $309.1 million for the year ended December
31, 2003.

SEGMENTS

         We report results through two segments: our Consumer and OEM divisions.
Our Consumer division markets our products through traditional retailers,
web-based and mail-order retailers, distributors, value added resellers and
system integrators, as well as directly to certain professional end-users. Our
OEM division primarily markets our DRAM modules to OEMs and their contract
manufacturers. We track net sales and gross profit for each division, but do not
separately track operating expenses, interest or income taxes because those
items cannot be specifically allocated to either division.

      stock-based compensation expense (income) of (in thousands) $1,073, ($279)
      and $174, respectively.

CUSTOMERS

      Historically, a limited number of customers in both our divisions have
accounted for a significant percentage of our net sales. For the years ended
December 31, 2001, 2002 and 2003, our five largest customers accounted for
64.8%, 54.1% and 51.4% of our net sales, respectively. We expect that sales of
our products to a limited number of customers will continue to account for a
majority of our sales in the foreseeable future. We do not have long-term
purchase agreements with any of our customers. If we were to lose any of our
major customers or experience any material reduction in orders from any of them,
it could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of
operations.

INTERNATIONAL

      Net sales by geographic destination and as a percentage of total net sales
are presented in the table below. For the years ended December 31, 2001, 2002
and 2003, 85.3%, 85.0% and 76.6%, respectively, of our net sales were
denominated in U.S. dollars.

SEASONALITY

      Products sold through our Consumer division have historically been
affected by seasonal purchasing patterns. Our Flash memory cards and related
products tend to have higher unit sales in the second and fourth quarters. These
sales generally follow seasonal purchasing patterns of the consumer electronic
devices that utilize Flash memory. Our DRAM products have generally shown lower
unit sales in the second quarter. These sales tend to follow the purchasing
patterns of software and new computers. Products sold through our OEM division
do not


                                       21

show significant seasonal trends. The impact of seasonality on our future
results will be affected by our product mix, which will vary from quarter to
quarter.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

      Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of
operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires
us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amount of net sales and expenses for
each period. The following represents a summary of our critical accounting
policies, defined as those policies that we believe are the most important to
the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and that
require management's most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a
result of the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are
inherently uncertain.

      Revenue recognition. The majority of our net sales in both our Consumer
and OEM divisions are non-consignment and are recognized upon shipment to
customers. Less than 10% of our net sales for the years ended December 31, 2001,
2002 and 2003 were consignment sales. A substantial portion of sales through our
Consumer division include limited rights to return unsold inventory. We provide
for estimated future returns of inventory based on historical experience.
However, if certain returns in excess of our estimates occur, those amounts are
accrued at the time we become aware of them, which may not be in the same period
in which we book the initial sale. In addition, some customers have limited
price protection rights for inventories of our products held by them. If we
reduce the list price of these previously purchased products, these customers
may be entitled to receive credits from us. We accrue for estimated cost for
these limited price protection arrangements when the customer is notified of the
price change. We also offer to both consumers and customers certain rebate
arrangements. We accrue for the estimated cost of these rebate arrangements
using actual sell through data supplied by our customers and historical
redemption percentages. Our net sales are defined as our gross sales less these
estimated future returns, limited price protection arrangements and rebate
arrangements.

      Reserves for inventory excess and obsolescence. We generally purchase raw
materials in quantities that we anticipate will be fully used within a short
time of purchase. Changes in our operating strategy, customer demand and
unpredictable fluctuations in market values of our finished goods can limit our
ability to effectively sell through our existing inventory at a profit. We
account for our inventory on a first-in, first-out basis and regularly monitor
potential inventory excess, obsolescence and assess market values relative to
costs. When necessary, we reduce the carrying amount of our inventory to market
value, if lower than cost.

      Advertising and market development costs. Advertising and market
development costs are charged to operations or offset against gross sales in
accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 01-09. For the year ended
December 31, 2003, our advertising and market development costs were $19.1
million, of which $2.2 million was offset against gross sales.

      Consideration generally given by us to a customer is presumed to be a
reduction of selling price, and therefore, a reduction of gross sales. However,
if we receive an identifiable benefit that is sufficiently separable from our
sales to that customer, such that we could have paid an independent company to
receive that benefit and we can reasonably estimate the fair value of that
benefit, then the consideration is characterized as an expense. We estimate the
fair value of the benefits we receive by tracking the advertising done by our
customers on our behalf and calculating the value of that advertising using a
comparable rate for similar publications.

      Stock-based compensation. As permitted by SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation," which establishes a fair value-based method of
accounting for stock-based compensation plans, we have elected to follow
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees," for recognizing stock-based compensation expense for financial
statement purposes. We recognize stock-based compensation over the vesting
period.

      Income taxes. As part of the process of preparing our consolidated
financial statements, we are required to estimate our income taxes in each of
the jurisdictions in which we operate. This process incorporates an assessment


                                       22

of the current tax exposure together with temporary differences resulting from
different treatment of transactions for tax and financial statement purposes.
Such differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are
included within our consolidated balance sheet. The recovery of deferred tax
assets from future taxable income must be assessed and, to the extent that
recovery is not likely, we establish a valuation allowance. Increases in
valuation allowances result in the recording of additional tax expense. Further,
if our ultimate tax liability differs from the periodic tax provision reflected
in our consolidated statements of operations, then additional tax expense may be
recorded. At December 31, 2003, we had net operating loss carry-forwards for the
states of New Jersey and California of approximately $4.5 million and $1.7
million, respectively. Both states enacted legislation that suspended the use of
net operating loss carry-forwards during the 2002 and 2003 tax years.

      Valuation of long-lived assets and restructuring estimates. We assess the
potential impairment of long-lived tangible and intangible assets whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying value may not be
recoverable. Changes in our operating strategy can significantly reduce the
estimated useful life of our assets. During 2002, we recorded a pre-tax charge
of $8.9 million associated with the shutdown of our facility in Ireland and
manufacturing operations in California. This charge included an accrual for
equipment and building lease payments of $5.0 million. Also during 2002, we
recorded a pre-tax charge of $1.4 million associated with the impairment of
capitalized equipment located at our facilities in New Jersey and France.

      In the third quarter of 2003, we recorded an additional restructuring
charge of $1.7 million related to the building lease associated with our
manufacturing operations in California. When we incurred the restructuring
charge related to this facility in 2002, we estimated that we would have been
able to secure a sublease by January 1, 2004. However, due to the continued
deteriorating real estate market in that area, we have now fully reserved for
the remaining lease payments on the facility, since we do not expect to sublease
it in the near future.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

      The tables presented below, which compare our results of operations from
one period to another, present the results for each period, the change in those
results from one period to another in both dollars and percentage change and the
results for each period as a percentage of net sales. The columns present the
following:

      -     The first two data columns in each table show the absolute results
            for each period presented.

      -     The columns entitled "Period Over Period Change" and "Period Over
            Period Percentage Change" show the change in results, both in
            dollars and percentages. These two columns show favorable changes as
            a positive and unfavorable changes as negative. For example, when
            our net sales increase from one period to the next, that change is
            shown as a positive number in both columns. Conversely, when
            expenses increase from one period to the next, that change is shown
            as a negative number in both columns.

      -     The last two columns in each table show the results for each period
            as a percentage of net sales. In these two columns, the cost of
            sales and gross profit for each are given as a percentage of that
            division's net sales. These amounts are shown in italics.

In addition, as used in these tables, "NM" means "not meaningful."

      Net sales. The growth in our Consumer division was driven by an increase
in net sales of our Flash memory cards and related products of $66.5 million, or
132.4%. A portion of this increase was due to our introduction of the
Attache((TM)) USB Flash Drive in June 2003. Our average unit selling price for
Flash cards increased 11.7% in 2003, reflecting an increasing customer
preference for higher density products. On a per megabyte basis, pricing
decreased 29.5%, which is generally consistent with the reduction in our cost on
a per megabyte basis for Flash semiconductors.

      Net sales of our NVIDIA Quadro(R) graphics cards increased $22.5 million,
or 187.9%. Since we introduced Quadro(R) in May 2002, a portion of this growth
is attributable to a full year's contribution in 2003. Our sales of Quadro(R)
increased $13.5 million, or 113.2%, for the period from May 1 to December 31,
2003 as compared to the same period in 2002. We expect to see more moderate
growth in our Quadro(R) line in 2004, both in the United States and Europe.


                                       24

      The increase in Flash and Quadro(R) net sales was partially offset by
declines in our DRAM and Verto(R) graphic cards product lines as well as a
decline in our OEM division. Net sales in our DRAM product line declined due to
a reduction in our promotional advertising activity at major retailers. The
decline in Verto(R) graphics cards was based on our decision to focus on
lower-price point cards, which caused our average selling price to decline 22.7%
in 2003 compared to 2002. Our net sales were also impacted by increased
competition in the consumer graphics card market. Our OEM net sales declined due
to the loss of our largest customer and lower units shipped.

     Gross profit. The decline in gross profit is primarily due to the decline
in our OEM division as the gross profit of our Consumer division was flat
compared to 2002. The decrease in our OEM gross profit was principally caused by
the decrease in net sales, as our gross profit margin rose to 13.7% for 2003
from 12.6% for 2002. Within our Consumer division, gross margins decreased to
12.4% in 2003 from 15.0% in 2002 due to a shift in demand for products with
lower gross margins. Additionally, most of our Consumer division products
experienced pricing pressure that depressed our margins compared to 2002.
Quadro(R) contributed an additional $1.2 million of gross profit due to a full
year of contribution in 2003.

      Selling. Advertising and market development costs represents the largest
component of selling expense and is incurred almost entirely in connection with
our Consumer division. The majority of our advertising expense is incurred as
cooperative payments to our traditional retail customers for participation in
their advertising circulars. These cooperative payments are calculated as a
certain percentage of our net sales to these customers and are consistent with
the benefit received. Therefore, as our net sales increase, so do our
advertising costs on an absolute basis. The increase in selling expense for the
year ended December 31, 2003 is attributable to an increase in advertising
expenses totaling $1.5 million, resulting from increased advertising activity in
our Consumer division. Fixed selling costs, including commission, were higher
due to our hiring of additional personnel to promote our Quadro graphic cards.

      Warehouse. Warehouse expense consists primarily of shipping supplies and
overhead. Overhead consists primarily of salaries and benefits and temporary
labor costs of shipping and warehouse personnel. Our temporary labor cost
generally increases and decreases with net sales, which was the primary driver
of the increase in our shipping and warehouse expense.

      General and administrative. The increase in general and administrative
expense was primarily attributable to the opening of our sales and procurement
facility in Taiwan and higher employment-related costs in the United States.
These were partially offset by the benefit derived from the closure of our
facility in Ireland and manufacturing operations in California.

      Restructuring charge. During 2002, we recorded a pre-tax charge of $2.8
million associated with the shutdown of our facility in Ireland. In addition, we
recorded a pre-tax charge of $6.2 million associated with the shutdown of our
manufacturing operations in California, which included an accrual of $5.0
million for equipment and building lease payments to be made over the next
several years. Also during 2002, we recorded a pre-tax charge of $1.4 million
associated with the impairment of capitalized equipment located at our
manufacturing facilities in New Jersey and France. In the third quarter of 2003,
we recorded a pre-tax charge of $1.7 million related to the remaining lease
payments on our manufacturing facility in California.

      Interest expense. Interest expense consists of interest related to our
U.S. revolving credit facility and a note payable to a related party offset by
some nominal interest income. Interest expense decreased as a result of a lower
effective interest rate in 2003 compared to 2002. This was offset by higher
short-term borrowings incurred by our European operation in 2003.

      Other (expense) income, net. Other expense consists primarily of foreign
currency gain or losses due to fluctuations in the value of the euro. In the
first half of 2002, our European operations had significant U.S. dollar
receivables and during this period the euro strengthened by 10.8% relative to
the U.S. dollar, which resulted in a foreign currency loss of $2.0 million
during 2002. During the second half of 2002 and throughout 2003, our European
operation reduced the amount of U.S. dollar receivables outstanding. For the
year ended December 31, 2003, we had a foreign currency gain of $0.3 million. We
have historically not hedged our exposure to these types of foreign currency
risks.


                                       25

      Income taxes. Our effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2003
was approximately 45.3% as a result of a writedown of a deferred tax asset. For
the year ended December 31, 2002, we accrued income tax expense because our
foreign subsidiary earned a profit.

      Net Sales. Our Consumer division's net sales increased in 2002 because we
began offering several new products in 2001 and 2002. In May 2002, we began
marketing our Quadro(R) line of professional graphics cards, which contributed
$12.0 million to net sales in 2002. In 2001, our Flash sales were minimal as
there was not a significant demand for Flash memory products, particularly in
the retail channel of our Consumer division. In 2002, net sales of our Flash
products increased $33.6 million due to the expansion of our product offerings
and the addition of new retail customers. We entered the consumer graphics
market in June 2001. Net sales of our Verto(R) graphic cards were $51.8 million
higher in 2002 due to a full year's contribution. Our DRAM product line declined
by $3.8 million, or 3.2%. Also, we exited the recorded compact disc, or CD-R,
market in early 2002, which decreased net sales by $28.4 million.

      Net sales in our OEM division decreased due to a decline in sales to our
largest OEM customer. That customer's net sales declined to $37.9 million in
2002 from $77.4 million in 2001. In general, OEM sales declined due to the
downturn in the networking, storage and high-end computing markets since late
2000.

      Gross profit. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales improved
significantly in 2002. Within the Consumer division, we benefited from
significantly increased sales of Flash-related products and a generally
favorable pricing environment. Since the start of 2002, new products like
digital cameras, MP3 players and PDAs have led to increased consumer demand for
additional Flash memory to increase the capacities of these products. In
addition, our Quadro(R) product line, which was introduced in May 2002, had
slightly higher margins than our consumer graphics cards and our DRAM products.
Overall, our Consumer gross profit was 15.0% in 2002 compared to 8.2% in 2001.
Our OEM margin decreased to 12.6% from 13.6% due to the depressed market.

      Selling. The increase in selling expense in 2002 is attributable to an
increase in some of our variable expenses, such as sales commissions, which
increased by 45.4% for the year ended December 31, 2002. The majority of our
commissions are paid to our manufacturer representatives. Advertising expenses
for the same period increased 33.8%, resulting from increased sales volumes in
our Consumer division.

      Warehouse. Although net sales improved from 2001, our shipping and
warehouse expense remained relatively flat due to improved efficiencies in our
shipping department.

      General and administrative. The decrease in general and administrative
expense was primarily attributable to a reduction in employee-related expenses
from the closure of our facility in Ireland and our manufacturing operations in
California.

      Restructuring charge. During 2002, we recorded a pre-tax charge of $2.8
million associated with the shutdown of our facility in Ireland. In addition, we
recorded a pre-tax charge of $6.2 million associated with the shutdown of our
manufacturing operations in California, which included an accrual of $5.0
million for equipment and building lease payments to be made over the next
several years. Also during 2002, we recorded a pre-tax charge of $1.4 million
associated with the impairment of capitalized equipment located at our New
Jersey and France manufacturing facilities.

      Other income (expense), net. In the first half of 2002, our European
operation had significant U.S. dollar receivables and the euro strengthened by
10.8% relative to the U.S. dollar creating the currency loss. In 2001, the
dollar was stronger than the euro creating the gain in that year. We have
historically not hedged our foreign currency exposures.

      Interest expense. Interest expense decreased due to lower interest rates.
The blended interest rate on our U.S. revolving credit facility decreased from
9.3% at December 31, 2000 to 4.1% at December 31, 2002. In addition, the
interest rate on a note payable to a related party decreased from 7.0% to 4.25%
per annum.

      Income taxes. For the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2002, although we
had a loss before taxes on a consolidated basis, our European subsidiary paid
income taxes on its earnings in France.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

      Our principal sources of liquidity have been cash provided by operations
and borrowings under our various credit facilities. Our principal uses of cash
have been to finance working capital, facility expansions, capital expenditures
and debt service requirements. We anticipate these uses will continue to be our
principal uses of cash in the future.

      Fluctuations in net cash provided by, or used in, operating activities is
generally due to increases and decreases in our net income and increased working
capital needs. For the year ended December 31, 2003, cash was provided by net
income of $2.0 million and higher levels of accounts payable of $2.2 million.
These inflows were offset by cash outflows needed for increases in working
capital assets, including accounts receivable of $6.6 million, inventory of $3.4
million, and decreases in accrued expense and customer allowance liabilities of
$3.6 million. We also used $2.3 million of cash for income taxes.

      For the years ended December 31, 2001, 2002 and 2003, accounts receivable
days sales outstanding, based on trailing three-month net sales, were
approximately 76, 61 and 54, respectively. Our receivable days at the end of
2001 were higher due to our decision to offer "seasonal dating" to certain
customers, which extended payment terms up to 30 days more than their standard
terms for purchases made in the fourth quarter of 2001. The further reduction in
receivable days sales outstanding from December 31, 2002 to December 31, 2003
was due to a shift to customers with shorter payment terms.

      The decrease in net cash used by investing activities for the year ended
December 31, 2003 was primarily due to lower capital expenditures. For the years
ended December 31, 2001, 2002 and 2003, we purchased property and equipment for
$2.9 million, $1.9 million and $1.3 million, respectively. Capital expenditures
for the current year are primarily for upgrades in our shipping capabilities.
Our capital requirements depend on a number of factors, including changes in
product technology, demand and volume. Our capital expenditures budget for 2004
is approximately $1.0 million.

      Our financing activities are principally changes in our U.S. revolving
credit facility. At December 31, 2001, 2002 and 2003, we had outstanding
borrowings under the credit facility of $31.6 million, $33.9 million and $40.0
million, respectively. We may borrow a maximum of $50.0 million under this
facility. Availability under the facility is based on specified percentages of
accounts receivable and inventories. Interest is payable on average amounts
outstanding under the revolving credit facility at a rate of either the prime
rate plus 0.25% or the eurodollar rate plus 2.25%, at our option. The blended
interest rate under the loan agreement relating to the revolving credit
agreement was 3.57% at December 31, 2003. The loan agreement contains a number
of restrictive covenants, including a prohibition on related party transactions,
additional indebtedness and dividend payments, as well as a requirement to
maintain a minimum adjusted tangible net worth and a minimum fixed charge
coverage ratio requirements. This facility is secured by all of our US accounts
receivable and inventory. We intend to repay this facility in full with a
portion of the net proceeds of this offering.

      PNY Technologies Europe, one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, has
available lines of credit with foreign banks totaling $13.7 million, which
expire December 31, 2004. There was $0.4 million outstanding under these lines
at December 31, 2003.

      In 2000, we redeemed our outstanding Series B and Series C preferred
stock. In connection with that redemption, we paid $6.0 million in cash, offset
$2.3 million of indebtedness to us and issued a $9.8 million note. See "Related
Party Transactions." We repaid $1.9 million, $2.7 million and $0.2 million on
that note in 2001, 2002 and 2003, respectively.

- ---------------
(1)   The note payable to related party has a maturity date of December 31,
      2004, but we have options to extend such date for up to five years. As of
      December 31, 2003, it was our intention to exercise those options and
      therefore have classified the note payable as long-term and included the
      amounts outstanding in the table above based on a maturity date of
      December 31, 2009, which assumes the exercise of all such extension
      options. The note is required to be repaid with the proceeds of this
      offering.

      Our operating leases typically provide for the option to buy at fair
market value, renew the lease or return the equipment at lease end.

      We believe that our current cash balances, together with existing credit
lines and expected cash flow from operations will be sufficient to fund our
current operations for at least the next 12 months. However, we may need
additional funding in connection with possible future acquisitions or other
investments. Additional funds, if needed, may not be available at all or on
terms acceptable to us.

BACKLOG

      We sell our memory products under short-term cancelable purchase orders.
We do not consider backlog to be a meaningful indicator of our future financial
performance. We include in our backlog only those customer orders for which we
have accepted purchase orders and to which we have assigned shipment dates
within the upcoming three to six months. At December 31, 2002 and 2003, our
backlog was $8.5 million and $10.0 million, respectively. Orders constituting
our backlog are subject to change due to, among other things, customer
cancellations and reschedulings and our ability to procure necessary components.

IMPACT OF INFLATION

      We do not believe that general price inflation has a material adverse
effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

      Interest rate risk. Our exposure to interest rate risk arises principally
from the variable rates associated with our credit facilities. At December 31,
2003, we had total borrowings of $40.4 million under our credit facilities, with
a blended rate of 3.57%. An adverse change of 1% in the interest rate of all
borrowings outstanding at December 31, 2003 that bear interest at variable rates
would cause us to incur an increase in interest expense of approximately $0.4
million on an annual basis.

      Foreign currency rate fluctuations. Fluctuations in the rate of exchange
between the U.S. dollar and foreign currencies, principally the euro, could
adversely affect our financial results. Except for sales in Western Europe, our
sales are principally denominated in U.S. dollars. Costs related to these sales
are largely denominated in their respective currencies, thereby limiting our
transaction risk exposures. However, for sales not denominated in U.S. dollars,
if there is an increase in the rate at which a foreign currency is exchanged for
U.S. dollars, it will


                                       29

require more of the foreign currency to equal a specified amount of U.S. dollars
than before the rate increase. In such cases, and if we price our products and
services in the foreign currency, we will receive less in U.S. dollars than we
did before the rate increase went into effect. If we price our products in U.S.
dollars and competitors price their products in local currency, an increase in
the relative strength of the U.S. dollar could result in our prices being
uncompetitive in a market where business is transacted in the local currency. We
currently do not hedge our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate
fluctuations; we may, however, hedge such exposures in the future.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

      Guarantor's accounting and disclosure requirements for guarantees,
including guarantees of indebtedness of others. In November 2002, the FASB
issued Interpretation No. 45, "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure
Requirements for Guarantees, Including Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others."
This interpretation elaborates on the existing disclosure requirements for most
guarantees, including loan guarantees such as standby letters of credit and
non-performance guarantees. It also requires that at the time a company issues a
guarantee, the company must recognize an initial liability for the fair market
value of the obligations it assumes under that guarantee and must disclose that
information in its financial statements. The initial recognition and measurement
provisions of this interpretation apply on a prospective basis to guarantees
issued or modified after December 31, 2002. The adoption of this statement has
not had a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

      Consolidation of variable interest entities. In January 2003, the FASB
issued Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities - an
interpretation of ARB No. 51," or FIN 46. The objective of FIN 46 is to improve
financial reporting by companies involved with variable interest entities. This
new model for consolidation applies to an entity in which either (1) the powers
or rights of the equity holders do not give them sufficient decision-making
powers or (2) the equity investment at risk is insufficient to finance that
entity's activities without receiving additional subordinated financial support
from other parties. FIN 46 requires a variable interest entity to be
consolidated into the company that is subject to a majority of the risk of loss
from the variable interest entity's activities or that is entitled to receive a
majority of the entity's residual returns or both. The consolidation
requirements of FIN 46 apply immediately to variable interest entities created
after January 31, 2003. For entities created before February 1, 2003, the
consolidation requirements apply in the first fiscal year or interim period
beginning after December 15, 2003. The adoption of this statement will not have
a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

      Accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of both
liabilities and equity. In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS 150, "Accounting for
Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and
Equity," or SFAS 150. SFAS 150 establishes standards for how an issuer
classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of
both liabilities and equity. It requires that an issuer classify a financial
instrument that is within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some
circumstances). SFAS 150 applies to financial instruments entered into or
modified after May 31, 2003 (except for mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling
interests). For all instruments that existed prior to May 31, 2003, the standard
is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June
15, 2003 (except for mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interests). For
mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interests, the FASB has deferred the
provisions of SFAS 150 until further notice. The provisions of SFAS 150 adopted
thus far did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements
and the adoption of the remaining provision of SFAS 150 will not have a
significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

                                    BUSINESS

COMPANY OVERVIEW

      We are a leading designer and marketer of Flash memory cards, USB Flash
drives, DRAM modules, consumer and professional graphics cards and other
computer-related technology products. We market these products to consumers
through traditional retailers, such as Best Buy, CompUSA and Staples, through
other retail and distribution channels, and directly to professionals. We also
design, manufacture and market custom and standard DRAM modules for OEMs and
their designated contract manufacturers. These customers include high-end
computing, networking, storage and telecommunications equipment manufacturers,
such as LSI Logic and Network Appliance. We currently market our products
throughout the United States, as well as in Canada, Western Europe and certain
parts of the Asia Pacific region.

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

      We compete in three primary segments of technology products: Flash, DRAM,
and graphics cards. Flash is considered a non-volatile memory since it is able
to retain data without a power source. As a result, Flash memory is used in
devices that require data mobility, such as digital cameras. DRAM, on the other
hand, requires a constant power supply to retain data and therefore it is most
useful in devices that also require constant power to operate, such as computers
and printers. Graphics cards are the devices within a computer that enhance the
visual display of information and images. We market a wide variety of products
in each of these categories.

FLASH

      Flash memory, like traditional storage media such as floppy disks or
CD-ROMs, allows data to be easily transported from one device to another.
However, unlike traditional disk drives, Flash data storage products have no
moving or mechanical parts and are considerably smaller, lighter and more
rugged, and consume substantially less power than traditional disk drives,
making Flash a preferred storage alternative for many applications. The
development of Flash memory has led to the proliferation of consumer electronic
devices designed to take advantage of these characteristics. In turn, the growth
in shipments of these consumer electronic devices and their unique and expanding
storage requirements have led to increasing demand for Flash data storage
products.

      Currently, there are two basic types of Flash data storage products: Flash
memory cards and USB Flash drives. Flash memory cards are available in a variety
of formats, including CompactFlash(R), SmartMedia(R), xD, Memory Stick,
MultiMedia Card and Secure Digital. Flash memory cards are primarily used to
store digital content, such as pictures, digital music, video clips and files in
consumer electronic devices, such as digital cameras, MP3 players, PDAs, digital
camcorders and multimedia cell phones. The growth in popularity of these
consumer electronic devices is driving the demand for small-sized, high-capacity
Flash memory cards. Semico Research estimates that the Flash memory card market
will grow from $2.0 billion in 2002 to $11.9 billion in 2006, a 56.4% compound
annual growth rate.

      USB Flash drives are self-contained products that use Flash memory as
their data storage medium. We believe USB Flash drives are beginning to replace
floppy disk drives because of their small size, data storage capacity, ease of
use, rewrite capability, speed and security. The USB Flash drive market is
expected to grow at an even faster rate than the Flash memory card market.
Gartner Dataquest estimates that the market for USB Flash drives will grow from
$135.6 million in 2002 to $1.7 billion in 2007, a 66.3% compound annual growth
rate.

DRAM

      DRAM is a key component in determining the speed and efficiency of many
desktop computers, laptops, high-performance workstations and printers, because
increased memory capacity shortens processing times and allows multiple
applications to run efficiently at the same time. DRAM can be divided into
several architectures. Synchronous DRAM, or SDRAM, which includes double data
rate synchronous DRAM, or DDR, represents the


                                       31

technology currently used in most new computers. DDR II represents the
leading-edge DRAM technology. Extended data output, or EDO, and fast page mode,
or FPM, are trailing-edge technologies.

      We believe that consumer and OEM demand for DRAM will increase due to
greater complexity of software enabled by increasing computer processing power,
the development of high-bandwidth and graphics-intensive applications, evolving
Internet and telecommunications infrastructure requirements, increased IT
spending and computer-related equipment upgrades. These factors result in the
need for faster, more powerful memory products to meet demand for greater
capabilities in the storage, manipulation, transfer and management of digital
data. Gartner Dataquest estimates that the worldwide market for DRAM will
increase from an estimated $15.5 billion in 2002 to $23.4 billion in 2007.

      DRAM modules are compact circuit board assemblies of DRAM semiconductors
and related circuitry. DRAM module upgrades, which we typically sell to
consumers through our traditional retail customers, are a cost-effective way for
consumers to improve computer performance. We expect sales of DRAM modules to
grow as demand for DRAM increases. We also expect OEM demand for DRAM modules to
increase based on increasing memory requirements, computer-related equipment
upgrades and increasing IT spending. In the OEM market, major memory
semiconductor manufacturers focus primarily on large-volume opportunities,
manufacturing open-standard modules as base-level memory for leading
manufacturers. Independent memory module manufacturers, including us, typically
are smaller in size and seek to distinguish themselves by being more responsive
and flexible in the types of products and services they provide. Independent
memory module manufacturers are also able to provide open-standard modifications
and upgrades used by OEMs and contract electronics manufacturers for which
open-standard modules are not adequate.

GRAPHICS

      Graphics cards are required components of most desktop computers and
workstations, and enable the communication and visualization of information. The
graphics processor unit, or GPU, and memory architecture of a graphics card
dictate the speed and resolution of the images it produces. Features of graphics
cards may include the ability to visualize information in 3D or the ability to
support the use of multiple monitors on one computer. Consumer graphics cards
are generally marketed toward individuals seeking to enhance the performance of
graphics-intensive applications, such as video games on desktop computers, while
our professional graphics card customers include users who require advanced
graphics capabilities, such as game developers, CAD engineers, digital
animators, as well as users who require the simultaneous use of multiple
computer monitors.

      In the consumer graphics card market, we believe that graphics cards
compete within their respective price ranges based on their performance and
features. In the professional graphics card market, users such as game
developers, CAD engineers and digital animators require high-performance, 3D
graphics cards to develop their products. Other professional users, such as
finance professionals, require the visualization of information on multiple
monitors simultaneously. Competition in this market segment is based largely on
the results of certification programs and benchmark testing done by software
providers. There are two primary competitors designing GPUs: NVIDIA and ATI
Technologies Inc. According to IDC, for the third quarter of 2003, NVIDIA held a
58% market share in the professional 3D graphics market, as well as a majority
of unit share in the entry, midrange and high-end consumer markets. All of our
consumer and professional graphics cards use NVIDIA processors.

COMPETITIVE STRENGTHS

      We believe that we have successfully positioned our company as a leading
supplier of our products to our Consumer and OEM division customers. Because of
our capabilities as a value-added supplier, we have developed long-standing
relationships with many industry-leading consumer electronics and office supply
retailers and OEMs. The table below sets forth certain of our leading Consumer
and OEM customers with whom we have had long-standing relationships, and the
year in which we first did business with them.

(1)   This data is for the six-month period commencing July 1, 2003.

            Broad portfolio of complementary products. Our broad product
      portfolio lets our customers consolidate their vendor relationships and
      more efficiently manage their inventory. We believe our retail customers
      prefer to consolidate purchases with a smaller number of vendors, where
      possible, lowering their cost of doing business. Therefore, by providing a
      more comprehensive product line within our markets, we are a more valuable
      supplier to those customers. These complementary product lines allow us to
      work with our traditional retail customers to provide a variety of
      cross-promotional activities that we believe increases foot traffic
      through their stores.

            Merchandising and marketing expertise. We work closely with our key
      customers to create a variety of advertisements, promotions and product
      bundles, which reduces our reliance on traditional consumer incentives and
      improves our customers sales. In addition, we help our customers assess
      how best to position our products. At times, we also design, develop and
      produce point-of-sale materials for our customers to use.

            Strong supplier relationships. We maintain strong relationships with
      our key suppliers, including Infineon Technologies AG, Micron, NVIDIA,
      Samsung Electronics America, Inc., Toshiba America, Inc. and Vanguard
      International Semiconductor, Inc. Many of these relationships are more
      than a decade old. Our key suppliers take into consideration the
      purchasing history of their customers when they make product allocation
      decisions. We believe our purchasing history with these suppliers has
      enabled us to obtain adequate supplies of our products during periods of
      industry shortage. We believe that our purchasing practices also increase
      vendor loyalty and assist us in reducing our exposure to price volatility.
      These


                                       33

      strong supplier relationships are particularly valuable to our OEM
      customers, who often rely on our ability to procure DRAM architectures
      that are difficult to obtain.

            Supply-chain management expertise. We believe our logistical
      operations, supply-chain management expertise and operational flexibility
      help our retail and OEM customers to better manage their inventory,
      thereby reducing their exposure to potential price fluctuations and
      further strengthening our customer relationships. Our merchandizing and
      inventory management capabilities also permit us to consult with our major
      customers to develop purchasing programs that seek to satisfy their
      product requirements, while limiting inventory risk for us and our major
      customers. We receive in-store and in-warehouse data on a regular basis
      from our major customers relating to their sales data and on-hand product
      inventory. As a result, we are able to minimize our exposure to customer
      allowances, optimize inventory mix and maximize inventory turnover.
      Additionally, our automated module assembly lines and semi-automated
      packaging lines have sufficient capacity to meet our customers' demands,
      even during peak seasons. These systems, along with our workforce
      flexibility, give us the ability to meet fluctuating customer demand while
      minimizing overtime.

            Experienced management team. Many of our senior managers have over
      15 years of operating expertise in our industry. Their experience with the
      business cycles affecting our products benefits our customers and enables
      us to respond effectively to industry challenges. Gadi Cohen has 18 years
      of experience in this industry.

OUR STRATEGY

      Our goal is to enhance our competitive position as a leading designer and
marketer of computer-related technology products. We seek to accomplish this
goal through the following strategies:

            Capitalize on the growing demand for Flash products. We believe that
      the Flash memory industry will experience significant growth, driven by
      widespread adoption of consumer electronic devices with increasing data
      storage requirements and the adoption of USB Flash drives as a common
      storage device. We have developed a comprehensive offering of Flash memory
      cards, USB Flash drives and a variety of Flash memory card readers and
      adapters. We plan to capitalize on this growth by continuing to
      aggressively market our comprehensive offering of Flash memory products.
      We also plan to monitor developments in the Flash memory market to
      optimize our opportunities to introduce new products. For 2003, our net
      sales of Flash-related products increased by 132.4% compared to 2002.

            Introduce complementary product lines. We plan to capitalize on our
      brand by further broadening our product portfolio with new products that
      complement our existing offerings. We have successfully taken advantage of
      our long-standing leadership position in DRAM to expand into Flash memory
      cards, USB Flash drives and graphics cards. We introduced our Attache(TM)
      USB flash drive in June 2003 and our Executive Attache(TM) USB flash drive
      in January 2004. We plan to take advantage of the growing computer,
      consumer electronics, storage and networking markets by initially focusing
      on the product needs of our existing customer base and expanding into new
      markets as opportunities arise. Because of our experience, capabilities
      and relationships, we have a demonstrated ability to introduce new
      products in short time periods, at times in as little as twelve weeks, as
      was the case with our consumer graphics cards and USB Flash drives.

            Expand OEM market presence. We have a diverse group of leading
      customers in our OEM division, including LSI Logic and Network Appliance.
      As demand returns for networking, storage and high-end computing products,
      we plan to maintain our relationships with existing customers and
      selectively add new customers. We offer our OEM customers a variety of
      customized and standard solutions, including leading-edge, mainstream and
      trailing-edge products, to meet their needs. One of our strengths in the
      OEM market is our ability to access trailing-edge technologies not readily
      available to other suppliers, which often offers superior profit
      opportunities. We believe that our OEM customers rely on us for superior
      service, flexibility and responsiveness, as well as our engineering and
      logistics expertise.


                                       34


            Further broaden our geographic presence. We intend to expand our
      geographic presence by targeting emerging and growing markets, such as the
      Far East, for both Consumer and OEM markets. Our facility in Taiwan allows
      us to increase our operational flexibility by establishing new supplier
      and contract manufacturing relationships, strengthening our existing
      supplier relationships and improving access to new technologies and
      products.

            Continue to focus on superior customer service. We intend to focus
      our resources and expertise on providing superior quality and service to a
      core group of market leaders. By doing so, we believe that we can become
      their preferred source for Flash memory, DRAM modules and graphics card
      solutions and become deeply integrated with their businesses at all
      levels. We plan to further integrate our business with that of our
      existing retail customers, while seeking new customers that we believe
      have the potential to generate significant revenue. In our OEM business,
      we intend to focus on serving our customers' memory needs through our
      logistics, design and engineering capabilities.

            Pursue acquisitions of complementary technologies, products or
      companies. We may make acquisitions to strengthen our position in our
      target markets, enhance our technology base, increase our supply
      capabilities or expand our geographic presence. We currently have no
      commitments or agreements and are not involved in any negotiations to
      acquire any technologies, products or companies.

procure from other sources. These products are


                                       36

necessary purchases for OEMs who have made commitments to support their older
product lines through their life cycles.

GRAPHICS

      We market graphics cards with a wide range of performance characteristics
to the consumer and professional user. These cards, co-branded with NVIDIA, are
sold through our Consumer division as upgrades to a user's existing graphics
card.

      Verto(R) graphics cards. Our Verto(R) brand graphics cards utilize
NVIDIA's GeForce family of desktop graphics processors. These include the
GeForce FX, GeForce4 and GeForce2. The GeForce FX family represents NVIDIA's
leading-edge consumer technology, designed for the enthusiast consumer market.

CUSTOMERS

      We market our products through our Consumer and OEM divisions utilizing a
combination of our own sales force and manufacturer representatives. In both
divisions, sales are generally made by purchase order. We have no long-term
sales contracts with any of our customers.

      To generate consumer sales, we market to traditional retailers, mail-order
and web-based retailers, distributors, specialized photography retailers, system
integrators and value-added resellers. In the case of our Quadro graphics cards,
we also sell directly to the professional consumer. Our products are sold in
over 10,000 traditional retail locations worldwide. Based on net sales, our four
leading Consumer customers for 2003 were Best Buy, CompUSA, Ingram and Staples.

      We seek to have integrated relationships with all our primary Consumer
division customers across our entire enterprise, from our sales force through
our inventory management personnel. We have developed comprehensive, integrated
inventory management systems and assist our retail customers in monitoring their
inventory levels, reducing the volatility of their inventory costs. We also
advise them on optimum inventory levels based on our market forecasts. We
typically receive weekly, and in some cases daily, on-hand inventory reports
from our largest customers. We also receive critical order data, as well as
sales and inventory information, via electronic data interchange systems. We can
either ship to a customer's warehouse or directly to its stores to reduce
turnaround time and storage costs.

      Our OEM division sells our products directly to OEMs, contract electronics
manufacturers and electronics component distributors. Based on net sales, our
four leading OEM customers for 2003 were LSI Logic, Network Appliance,
Sanmina-SCI and Solectron Corporation.

      For our OEM customers, we provide quick turnaround solutions and
just-in-time delivery, which allows them to maximize production efficiencies. We
consult with our OEM customers, sharing our DRAM market insights and forecasts,
so they can more efficiently manage their memory module inventories. We also
assist our OEM customers in obtaining trailing-edge memory technology that
otherwise may be difficult to procure.


                                       37

SALES AND MARKETING

      Our Consumer division utilizes a variety of advertisements,
cross-promotions, in-package promotions and product bundles to generate sales.
In the traditional retail market, in particular, these also add value to our
customers by driving traffic to and within each store. Generally, we advertise
weekly in our traditional retail customers' advertising circulars, which we
believe improves our sales, creates brand loyalty and generates additional
traffic for that customer. Based on the circulation data provided by each
retailer, we believe our advertising generates an average of 150 million brand
impressions weekly in the United States across all of our product categories.

      We utilize cross-promotions, in-package promotions and product bundles to
improve our product sales at traditional retail locations. For example:

      -     We occasionally provide discounts to consumers on the purchase of
            our Verto(R)-branded DRAM modules with the purchase of a Verto(R)
            graphics card. Cross-promotions such as these improve our sales and
            generate additional in-store traffic for our customers.

      -     We recently included a free copy of a popular video game, Tom
            Clancy's Splinter Cell(R), with one model of our Verto(R) graphics
            cards. This type of in-package promotion represents significantly
            greater value to the consumer than our cost.

      -     We regularly bundle our Flash memory cards with one of our Flash
            readers or adapters. Like our in-package promotions, these represent
            a greater value to the consumer than cost to us.

      We also use our website to promote our products. The website describes
each product in detail, offers technical support and directs consumers to our
retail customers for purchases. Our website also contains our memory
configurator software, which helps customers select the appropriate DRAM memory
module for their needs. In addition, we expect to participate in various
educational programs, such as CyberScholar, designed to educate our customers'
employees, making them more aware of our products and, at the same time, better
able to serve their customers. We also participate in major industry trade
shows.

      The breadth of our offerings across product lines and the depth of our
offerings within each specific line provide an additional benefit to our
Consumer division customers by reducing the number of vendors from whom they
must purchase their inventory, which we believe reduces their costs.

      We market to OEM customers based on our engineering and design
capabilities, and our logistics and supply-chain management services. In
addition, our OEM customers rely on our ability to access trailing-edge
technology. We believe this combination of abilities sets us apart from our
competitors in the OEM market.

      Our Consumer division uses our own sales force, as well as manufacturers'
representatives. We also have a separate internal Quadro sales force who sell
directly to the professional user. Our internal OEM sales force is also
complemented by manufacturers' representatives. We believe these combined sales
forces have the local presence, market knowledge and strategic insight to allow
us to effectively market our products to our Consumer and OEM customers.

SUPPLIERS

      We purchase the majority of our Flash memory products from a small number
of suppliers based on their supply capabilities and intellectual property. These
include Infineon, Panasonic, Samsung and Toshiba. Our DRAM module products and
component parts are also sourced from a small number of suppliers: Micron,
Infineon, Samsung, and Powerchip Group Pty Ltd. These suppliers also provide us
with DRAM components for use in our Verto(R) graphics cards. Collectively, our
suppliers provide us with a full range of technologies. We purchase graphics
processors used on our Verto(R) graphics cards almost exclusively from NVIDIA,
and all the Quadro graphics cards we market are purchased solely from NVIDIA.


                                       38

      We utilize contract manufacturers for the production of all our Verto(R)
graphics cards and our USB Flash drives. In addition to their responsibility for
the manufacturing of these products, our manufacturers also purchase many of the
parts necessary to produce complete, finished goods.

      As with our customers, we maintain close working relationships with our
suppliers in the United States, Europe and the Far East. Our vendor base
represents a cross-section of price leaders and leading-edge, mainstream and
trailing-edge product suppliers. We believe that our relationships and our
retail market share position help us secure allocations in times of product
shortages. In addition to purchases from our traditional memory semiconductor
suppliers, we also purchase a limited amount of products through the spot
market. While we prefer to purchase from our suppliers, these spot market
purchases increase our flexibility and allow us to meet our customers' needs
more readily. Our procurement organization operates from offices in the United
States, Western Europe and the Far East located near many of our suppliers to
help ensure competitive pricing and a dependable supply of materials for our
products. We opened our facility in Taiwan primarily for this reason.

MANUFACTURING, DESIGN AND TESTING

      Manufacturing. For the production of memory modules, we employ highly
automated manufacturing processes that involve the use of surface mount
equipment. Due to our flexible manufacturing setup, we can offer our customers
rapid manufacturing and test cycles on projects of all sizes. We employ rigorous
quality control procedures in each facility and perform statistical process
controls at various steps of the manufacturing process. In addition, we conduct
quality assurance through audits to ensure that the final product meets required
specifications. We believe that we adhere to the highest quality control
standards in every aspect of our operations.

      We received ISO 9001 certification to the 2000 standards at our facility
in New Jersey. ISO is an international series of quality standards that can
improve quality, productivity and customer satisfaction, and reduce waste. To
comply with ISO registration requirements, we continuously monitor and work to
improve our product quality and customer satisfaction.

      Design. We provide comprehensive design and engineering services to our
OEM customers for our DRAM modules. In consultation with a customer, we review
its requirements and recommend cost-effective and efficient module solutions. We
often provide our OEM customers with design assistance, either helping them to
develop new DRAM interfaces to work with existing memory modules or to design
new memory modules to work with existing memory interfaces. Our engineers also
work closely with our suppliers, performing product design reviews,
qualifications and testing prior to the release of new products into the market.
Although we may receive additional compensation for providing our engineering,
manufacturing and testing services, it is not significant and is provided as a
means to increase sales.

      As a member of the Joint Electronic Device Engineering Council and as a
participant in two of its key standard-setting committees, we participate in the
industry design and standard-setting processes for memory modules.

      Testing. We test 100% of the products that we manufacture. We use
sophisticated test systems to confirm that our memory modules function properly
and meet or exceed our customers' requirements.

COMPETITION

      We conduct business in markets characterized by intense competition, rapid
technological change, evolving industry standards and price volatility. We
compete in these markets on the basis of product depth and breadth, service,
quality and value. Some of our significant suppliers, such as Micron and
Panasonic, are also our competitors. Many have the ability to manufacture
competitive products at lower costs as a result of their vertical integration.

      We compete in Flash memory cards largely based on marketing techniques and
value. Because our inventory strategy allows us to move relatively high-priced
inventory through our sales channels quickly, we are able to rapidly adjust to
decreasing prices in this market. We believe that our primary competitors in our
Flash


                                       39

memory markets are Fuji Photo Film Co. Ltd., Lexar Media, Inc. and SanDisk
Corporation. We believe that our primary competitors in the consumer DRAM
modules market are Centon Electronics, Inc., K-Byte, a division of All
Components, Inc., Kingston Technology Company, Inc., and Micron.

      Competition in the consumer graphics card market is based on product
performance and price. While we only offer graphics cards based on NVIDIA
technology, we believe that these cards offer competitive performance at their
respective prices. In the consumer graphics card market, we compete with ATI,
BFG Technologies Inc. and eVGA Corporation. ATI competes using its own graphics
processors and cards; however, BFG and eVGA also use NVIDIA technology. In the
professional graphics card market, we compete with ATI, 3DLabs, a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Creative Labs, and Matrox Electronic Systems Ltd.

      We also face competition from current and prospective OEM customers that
evaluate our capabilities against the merits of manufacturing products
internally. We compete for OEM business with independent manufacturers such as
Celestica, Inc., Kingston, Solectron and Sanmina-SCI.

FACILITIES

      Our six facilities are located in: Parsippany, New Jersey, which is our
corporate headquarters; Santa Clara, California; London, United Kingdom;
Wurselen, Germany; Bordeaux, France; and Hsin Chu, Taiwan. We conduct sales,
procurement and manufacturing from our facilities in New Jersey and France. We
conduct sales and procurement from our facilities in California and Taiwan and
sales from our other facilities. Both of our divisions use each of our
facilities. We believe these facilities are strategically positioned to best
serve both our customers and supply needs, while providing the geographic
platform to carry out our strategy.

EMPLOYEES

      As of December 31, 2003, we had 342 full-time employees. In addition to
our full-time employees, we regularly employ temporary and part-time employees.
Our employees in the United States are not represented by any collective
bargaining agreements. Two employees in France are represented by unions. We
have never experienced a work stoppage at any of our facilities. We consider our
relationship with our employees to be good.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

      We received notice on or about August 7, 2000 that Lemelson Medical,
Education & Research Foundation, LLP filed a complaint against us and other
defendants on June 30, 2000. The complaint was filed in the United States
District Court in the District of Arizona and alleges that our manufacturing
processes infringe several patents that the Lemelson Foundation allegedly owns.
The case has been stayed pending the outcome of another case challenging the
validity and enforceability of the patents at issue. We accrued $0.3 million in
2000 based in part on settlement discussions with Lemelson, which have since
been abandoned. However, because of the preliminary stage of this case, any
revised estimate of potential damages would be speculative, and we have not made
any such revised estimate at this time.

      We are not currently involved in any other material legal proceedings. We
are not aware of any other material legal proceedings threatened or pending
against us. From time to time, however, we may become subject to additional
legal proceedings, claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of
business, including, but not limited to, employee, customer and vendor disputes.
In addition, in the past we have received, and we may continue to receive in the
future, letters alleging infringement of patents or other intellectual property
rights. Our management believes that these letters generally are without merit
and intends to contest them vigorously.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

      We do not have a compensation committee. Gadi Cohen was primarily
responsible for all compensation decisions regarding our executive officers
during the last fiscal year, other than his own. Mr. Cohen's compensation was
determined and approved by the other members of the Board of Directors.

BOARD COMPENSATION

      Directors who are not our employees will receive         as compensation
for their service on the Board. Directors who are our employees are not
separately compensated for serving on the Board of Directors.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS

      We currently do not have employment agreements with any of our executive
officers. Each of our executive officers has entered into a severance agreement
that provides for the payment of six months of salary upon termination of
employment and contains a one-year non-competition provision.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

      The following table sets forth information concerning the compensation for
2003 for our Chief Executive Officer and our four other most highly compensated
executive officers at such date. Annual compensation amounts set forth on the
table exclude perquisites and other personal benefits because such compensation
did not exceed either $50,000, or 10% of the total annual salary and bonus for
any of the named executive officers. All other compensation consists of
discretionary matching contributions to our 401(k) plan on behalf of each named
executive officer.

STOCK OPTION AND OTHER BENEFIT PLANS

STOCK OPTION PLAN

      In June 1999, we adopted our employee stock option plan, which was amended
and restated in October 2000, for directors, officers, employees, consultants
and other individuals or entities selected by our Board of Directors or
compensation committee, which provides for nonqualified stock option and
incentive stock option grants to our employees and directors. As of December 31,
2003, options for 4,328,990 shares were issued, 4,750 were exercised, 1,827,160
were cancelled and 4,998,170 shares were available for future grants under the
plan. Options granted under our plan currently vest over four years. In
connection with the consummation of this offering, we intend to grant options to
purchase up to        shares at an exercise price equal to $        per share to
existing employees who currently do not hold stock options. We expect to incur a
stock-based compensation charge of $        million in connection with this
option grant over their four-year vesting period.  We also intend to grant
options to purchase up to        shares to new employees at an exercise price
equal to the public offering price.

      Options under the plan generally expire ten years from the date of grant.
If a participant's employment or provision of services is terminated for a
reason other than as a result of death, disability or retirement, the options
expire 30 days after termination, unless extended in accordance with the plan.
If a participant's employment is terminated as a result of death, disability or
retirement, the options expire 90 days from the date of termination. All shares
issued pursuant to the plan are subject to transfer restrictions.

401(k) PROFIT-SHARING PLAN

      We adopted a tax-deferred 401(k) profit-sharing plan in September 1996.
The plan covers substantially all full-time U.S. employees on our payroll who
are at least 21 years of age. Employees become eligible to participate


                                       44

in the first quarterly enrollment date after hire. The plan provides for
voluntary employee contributions up to 60% of their annual pre-tax compensation,
subject to the maximum limit allowed by the Internal Revenue Service guidelines,
which is currently $13,500 annually. The plan is intended to qualify under
Section 401 of the Internal Revenue Code so that contributions to the plan, and
income earned on the plan contributions, are not taxable to employees until
withdrawn from the plan, and contributions by us will be deductible by us when
made. The trustee under the plan, at the discretion of each participant, invests
the employee contributions to the plan in selected investment options.

      At our discretion, we make matching contributions to each participating
employee based on his or her voluntary contributions to the plan. We currently
match one-half of an employee's matchable contributions to the plan, which
cannot exceed 3% of their compensation. We may also make, in our discretion,
annual profit-sharing contributions on behalf of eligible employees. Each
employee who is a plan participant on the last day of the plan year and has
completed at least 1,000 hours of service during the year is entitled to a share
of any profit-sharing contribution we make for the plan year. Our matching
contribution and profit-sharing contributions vest at the rate of 20% per year
beginning after the employee's second year of employment with us.

RESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS

      During 1997 and 1998, we granted to specified employees and in one case to
a former employee for no consideration the right to receive 1,335,300 shares of
common stock, which will be delivered to them when the restriction period
described below terminates. These stock awards are subject to a ten-year cliff
vesting schedule, based on continued employment. These shares are also subject
to certain restrictions on transfer which terminate in part at the end of a
restriction period that ends on the earliest to occur of (1) 180 days following
the consummation of our initial public offering, (2) immediately prior to a
change in control, and (3) ten years after the date of grant. Gadi Cohen has
agreed to transfer to us as a contribution of capital, upon the termination of
the restriction period, a number of shares of common stock equal to the number
of shares of common stock that we have agreed to deliver to the specified
employees. As of December 31, 2003, and after giving effect to shares to be
issued and shares forfeited during the period beginning in 1997 and ending on
December 31, 2003, we expect Gadi Cohen to deliver 520,800 shares to us, and we
will in turn deliver those to the specified employees upon the termination of
the restriction period.

LIMITATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS LIABILITY

      Our certificate of incorporation provides that no director will be liable
for monetary damages for breach of the director's fiduciary duty to us or our
stockholders, except for liability arising from:

      -     breach of the director's duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders;

      -     acts or omissions not in good faith or involving intentional
            misconduct or knowing violations of law;

      -     improper distributions to stockholders and improper purchases or
            redemptions of stock; and

      -     transactions from which the director derived an improper personal
            benefit.

      This provision of our certificate of incorporation does not eliminate the
director's fiduciary duties, and in appropriate circumstances, equitable
remedies including an injunction or other forms of non-monetary relief would
remain available under Delaware law. This provision also does not affect a
director's responsibilities under any other laws, including federal securities
laws or state or federal environmental laws.

      In addition, our bylaws provide that we will indemnify our directors and
officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. We are also empowered
under our bylaws to enter into indemnification contracts with our directors and
officers and to purchase insurance on behalf of any person we are required or
permitted to indemnify. We have obtained director's and officer's liability
insurance coverage, which covers, among other things, liabilities arising under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act.

                           RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

      In August 1995, we entered into a Preferred Stock and Warrant Purchase
Agreement with certain affiliates of Goldman, Sachs & Co. and Gadi Cohen. As
part of that agreement, we sold 13,000 shares of Series A preferred stock,
convertible into 3,900,000 shares of common stock, and warrants to purchase
1,462,500 shares of common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $15.0
million, to affiliates of Goldman, Sachs & Co. The warrants expired in August
2002, and were not exercised. Assuming an offering price of $     per share of
common stock, the value of the Series A preferred stock held by certain
affiliates of Goldman, Sachs & Co. would be $      million. Upon the automatic
conversion of the Series A preferred stock upon consummation of this offering,
the affiliates of Goldman, Sachs & Co. will be the beneficial owners of more
than 5% of our outstanding shares of common stock. See "Principal Stockholders"
for information relating to the beneficial ownership of shares and
identification of affiliates of Goldman, Sachs & Co.

      In consideration for the redemption of our formerly outstanding Series B
and Series C Preferred Stock held by Ruth Cohen, Gadi Cohen's spouse, on
December 5, 2000, we paid her $6.0 million in cash, offset $2.3 million she owed
us, and issued a note to her in the amount of $9.8 million. As of December 31,
2003, there was $5.0 million outstanding on the note, which must be repaid with
proceeds from this offering.

      The holders of our Series A preferred stock are entitled to receive cash
dividends at a rate of 4.25% per annum. Each class of our stockholders have
approved amendments to our restated certificate of incorporation pursuant to
which no such dividends will be payable or accrue prior to July 1, 2004. We
recognized a net waiver of dividends of $1.8 million for the year ended December
31, 2003.

      We believe that each of the transactions described above was made on terms
that were no less favorable to us than could be obtained from unaffiliated
parties.

                             PRINCIPAL STOCKHOLDERS

      The table below sets forth information known to us regarding the
beneficial ownership of our common stock as of December 31, 2003, as adjusted to
reflect the automatic conversion of outstanding shares of Series A preferred
stock into common stock, resulting in the issuance of 3,980,400 shares of our
common stock, with an effective conversion price of $3.85 per share, and to
reflect the sale of the common stock offered by this prospectus, by:

      -     each stockholder known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than
            5% of our outstanding common stock;

      -     each named executive officer;

      -     each of our directors; and

      -     all executive officers and directors as a group.

      Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with rules of the
Securities and Exchange Commission, or the Commission, and generally includes
voting power and/or investment power with respect to securities. Shares of
common stock subject to options currently exercisable or exercisable within 60
days of the date of this prospectus are deemed outstanding for purposes of
computing the beneficial ownership by the person holding such options, but are
not deemed outstanding for purposes of computing the percentage beneficially
owned by any other person. Except as otherwise noted, the persons or entities
named have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares shown as
beneficially owned by them. Unless otherwise indicated, the principal address of
each of the stockholders below is c/o PNY Technologies, Inc., 299 Webro Road,

                          DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

GENERAL

      As of December 31, 2003, the total amount of our authorized capital stock
consisted of 125,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, and
10,000,000 shares of preferred stock.

      After giving effect to this offering and the conversion of our Series A
preferred stock described below, assuming an initial public offering price of
$    per share and no exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option, we
will have     shares of common stock outstanding. At the closing of this
offering, all of our currently outstanding shares of Series A preferred stock
will automatically convert into 3,980,400 shares of common stock with an
effective conversion price of $3.85 per share. After giving effect to these
transactions, we will have no shares of any series of preferred stock
outstanding.

      The following summary of provisions of our capital stock describes all
material provisions of, but does not purport to be complete and is subject to,
and qualified in its entirety by, our amended and restated certificate of
incorporation and our bylaws (both of which will be amended at or prior to the
consummation of this offering to reflect the following description), and by the
provisions of applicable law.

COMMON STOCK

      The holders of our common stock are entitled to:

      -     one vote per share on all matters submitted to a vote of our
            stockholders;

      -     the payment of any dividends declared by the Board of Directors out
            of legally available funds, after the superior rights of any
            preferred stock holders have been satisfied; and

      -     share ratably in company assets available for distribution to them
            in the event of our liquidation, dissolution, distribution of assets
            or winding up.

      The holders of common stock do not have cumulative voting rights. As a
result, the holders of a majority of the outstanding common stock can elect all
our directors. The remaining common stockholders will not be able to elect any
directors. The holders of common stock have no preemptive or other subscription
rights, and there are no conversion, redemption or sinking fund provisions with
respect to the common stock. All outstanding shares of common stock are, and all
shares of common stock to be outstanding upon completion of this offering will
be, fully paid and non-assessable. There are provisions in our certificate of
incorporation and bylaws that would have the effect of delaying, deterring or
preventing a change in control of our management in the case of a hostile
takeover or other acquisition. See "--Anti-Takeover Provisions of Delaware Law
and Our Certificate of Incorporation."

PREFERRED STOCK

      Our Board of Directors will have the authority, without action by the
stockholders, to designate and issue preferred stock in one or more series and
to designate the rights, preferences and privileges of each series, any of which
may be greater than the rights of the common stock. It is not possible to state
the actual effect of the issuance of any shares of preferred stock on the rights
of holders of common stock until the Board of Directors determines the specific
rights of the preferred stock. However, the effects might include, among other
things, restricting dividends on the common stock, diluting the power of the
common stock, impairing liquidation rights of the common stock and delaying or
preventing a change of control or the removal of our existing management without
further action by the shareholders. We have no present plans to issue any shares
of preferred stock.


                                       49


WARRANTS

      There are currently 49,500 warrants outstanding. Each of these warrants
provides for the purchase of one share of common stock and has an exercise price
of $0.03. These warrants expire May 1, 2008.

REGISTRATION RIGHTS

      As of the completion of this offering, the holders of an aggregate of
30,935,200 shares of common stock will be entitled to registration rights. These
rights are provided under the terms of a registration rights agreement,
management stockholders agreement and employee stock option plan between us and
the holders of registrable securities, who include the affiliates of Goldman
Sachs mentioned above, Gadi Cohen and current and former members of management
and employees who purchased stock under the option plan. This agreement provides
demand registration rights to the holders of registrable securities. In
addition, the holders of all of the registrable securities are entitled under
these agreements, subject to limitations, to require us to include their
registrable securities in future registration statements filed by us.

      The demand registration rights provide that stockholders may request
registration of their shares at our expense 180 days after the effective date of
the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, subject to a
minimum amount of the requesting stockholder's shares per requested
registration, and subject to our right to register our own shares or shares of
other requesting stockholders, which may limit the total number of shares that
may be sold in a single offering. These rights are being waived in connection
with this offering for a period of 180 days after the date of the final
prospectus relating to this offering.

      Holders of registrable securities are entitled to request us to register
their securities when we propose or are required to register equity securities
under the Securities Act. We are obligated to provide notice of the registration
and the holders of registrable securities may request registration of their
shares within 15 days of receipt of the notice. These rights are being waived in
connection with this offering for a period of 180 days after the date of the
final prospectus relating to this offering.

      Registration of shares of common stock pursuant to the rights granted in
these agreements will result in such shares becoming freely tradable without
restriction under the Securities Act. All registration expenses incurred in
connection with the above registrations will be borne by us.

ANTI-TAKEOVER PROVISIONS OF DELAWARE LAW AND OUR CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION

      Delaware Law. In general, Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation
Law prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in any business
combination with any interested stockholder for a period of three years
following the date that the stockholder became an interested stockholder,
unless:

      -     before that date, the Board of Directors of the corporation approved
            either the business combination or the transaction that resulted in
            the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder;

      -     on consummation of the transaction that resulted in the
            stockholder's becoming an interested stockholder, the interested
            stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the
            corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced,
            excluding those shares owned by persons who are directors and also
            officers, and employee stock plans in which employee participants do
            not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held
            under the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer; or

      -     on or after that date, the business combination is approved by the
            Board of Directors and authorized at a meeting of stockholders, and
            not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least
            two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock not owned by the
            interested stockholder.

      Section 203 defines "business combination" to include:


                                       50


      -     any merger or consolidation involving the corporation and the
            interested stockholder;

      -     any sale, transfer, pledge or other disposition involving the
            interested stockholder of 10% or more of the assets of the
            corporation;

      -     in general, any transaction that results in the issuance or transfer
            by the corporation of any stock of the corporation to the interested
            stockholder; or

      -     the receipt by the interested stockholder of the benefit of any
            loans, advances, guarantees, pledges or other financial benefits
            provided by or through the corporation.

      In general, Section 203 defines an interested stockholder as any entity or
person beneficially owning 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the
corporation and any entity or person affiliated with or controlling or
controlled by the entity or person.

      Certificate of Incorporation provisions. Our certificate of incorporation
and bylaws include a number of provisions that may have the effect of deterring
hostile takeovers or delaying or preventing changes in control of our
management. First, our certificate of incorporation provides that all
stockholder actions upon completion of this offering must be effected at a duly
called meeting of holders and not by a consent in writing. Second, our bylaws
provide that special meetings of the holders may be called only by the chairman
of the Board of Directors or shall be called by our Secretary at the request of
our Board of Directors under a resolution adopted by a majority of the total
number of authorized directors. Third, our certificate of incorporation and
bylaws provide for a classified Board of Directors in which approximately
one-third of the directors would be elected each year. Consequently, any
potential acquirer would need to successfully complete two proxy contests in
order to take control of the Board of Directors. As a result of the provisions
of the certificate of incorporation and Delaware law, stockholders will not be
able to cumulate votes for directors. Finally, our bylaws establish procedures,
including advance notice procedures, with regard to the nomination of candidates
for election as directors and stockholder proposals. These provisions of our
certificate of incorporation and bylaws could discourage potential acquisition
proposals and could delay or prevent a change in control of our management.

TRANSFER AGENT AND REGISTRAR

      American Stock Transfer has been appointed as the transfer agent and
registrar for our common stock.

                         SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

      The sale of a substantial amount of our shares in the public market after
this offering could adversely affect the prevailing market price of our shares.
Furthermore, the sale of a substantial amount of shares in the public market
after the contractual and legal restrictions on resale described below lapse
could adversely affect the prevailing market price of our shares and our ability
to raise equity capital in the future.

      Upon completion of this offering, we will have outstanding an aggregate
of     shares, assuming no exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option.
Of these shares, all of the shares sold in this offering will be freely tradable
without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act, unless the
shares are purchased by our "affiliates" as that term is defined in Rule 144
under the Securities Act. Any shares purchased by an affiliate may not be resold
except pursuant to an effective registration statement or an applicable
exemption from registration, including an exemption under Rule 144 of the
Securities Act. The remaining shares of common stock held by existing
stockholders are "restricted securities" as that term is defined in Rule 144
under the Securities Act. These restricted securities may be sold in the public
market only if they are registered or if they qualify for an exemption from
registration under Rule 144 or Rule 701 under the Securities Act. These rules
are summarized below.

      Assuming the conversion of the Series A preferred stock and the exercise
of all outstanding and vested options, upon the expiration of the lock-up
agreements described below and subject to the provisions of Rule 144 and Rule
701, restricted shares totaling 30,935,200 will be available for sale in the
public market 180 days after the date of this prospectus. The sale of these
restricted securities is subject to the volume restrictions contained in those
rules. Some of these restricted shares, described as not being eligible for sale
until 180 days after the date of this prospectus, may become eligible for sale
at an earlier date, as described in "Underwriting."

LOCK-UP AGREEMENTS

      We, our directors and executive officers and substantially all of our
stockholders, who own or have the right to purchase in the aggregate 30,935,200
shares of our common stock, have entered into lock-up agreements with the
underwriters. Under those agreements, subject to limited exceptions, neither we
nor any of our directors or executive officers nor any of those stockholders may
dispose of or hedge any shares of common stock or securities convertible into or
exchangeable for shares of common stock. These restrictions will be in effect
for a period of 180 days after the date of this prospectus. At any time and
without notice, Lehman Brothers may release all or some of the securities from
these lock-up agreements. See "Underwriting."

RULE 144

      In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, beginning 90 days after
the date of this prospectus, a person who has beneficially owned shares of our
common stock for at least one year from the later of the date those shares of
common stock were acquired from us or from an affiliate of ours would be
entitled to sell within any three-month period a number of shares that does not
exceed the greater of:

      -     one percent of the number of shares of common stock then
            outstanding, which will equal approximately shares immediately after
            this offering; or

      -     the average weekly trading volume of the common stock on the Nasdaq
            National Market during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing
            of a notice on Form 144 with respect to the sale of any shares of
            common stock.

      The sales of any shares of common stock under Rule 144 are also subject to
manner of sale provisions and notice requirements and to the availability of
current public information about us.


                                       52


RULE 144(K)

      Under Rule 144(k), a person who is not one of our affiliates at any time
during the three months preceding a sale, and who has beneficially owned the
shares proposed to be sold for at least two years from the later of the date
such shares of common stock were acquired from us or from an affiliate of ours,
including the holding period of any prior owner other than an affiliate, is
entitled to sell those shares without complying with the manner of sale, public
information, volume limitation or notice provisions of Rule 144. Immediately
upon completion of this offering,       shares will be eligible for sale under
Rule 144(k).

RULE 701

      In general, under Rule 701 of the Securities Act as currently in effect,
each of our employees, consultants or advisors who purchased shares from us in
connection with a compensatory stock plan or other written agreement is eligible
to resell those shares 90 days after the effective date of this offering in
reliance on Rule 144, but without compliance with some of the restrictions,
including the holding period, contained in Rule 144.

      No precise prediction can be made as to the effect, if any, that market
sales of shares or the availability of shares for sale will have on the market
price of our common stock prevailing from time to time. We are unable to
estimate the number of our shares that may be sold in the public market pursuant
to Rule 144 or Rule 701 because this will depend on the market price of our
common stock, the personal circumstances of the sellers and other factors. After
this offering, there will be     shares available for sale under Rule 701.
Nevertheless, sales of significant amounts of our common stock in the public
market could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

STOCK PLANS

      We intend to file a registration statement under the Securities Act
covering        shares of common stock reserved for issuance under our employee
stock option plan. This registration statement is expected to be filed as soon
as practicable after the effective date of this offering.

      As of December 31, 2003, there are options to purchase 2,497,080 shares of
our common stock outstanding under our employee stock option plan. In connection
with the consummation of this offering, we intend to grant options to purchase
up to     shares at an exercise price equal to $     per share to existing
employees who currently do not hold stock options. Also, in connection with the
consummation of this offering, we intend to grant options to purchase an
additional     shares of our common stock to new employees at an exercise price
equal to the public offering price. All of these shares will be eligible for
sale in the public market from time to time, subject to vesting provisions, Rule
144 volume limitations applicable to our affiliates and, in the case of some of
the options, the expiration of lock-up agreements.

            UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME AND ESTATE TAX CONSEQUENCES
                          TO NON-UNITED STATES HOLDERS

      The following is a general discussion of the material U.S. federal income
and estate tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of our common stock
to a non-U.S. holder. For the purpose of this discussion, a non-U.S. holder is
any holder that for U.S. federal income tax purposes is not a U.S. person. For
purposes of this discussion, the term U.S. person means:

      -     an individual citizen or resident of the United States;

      -     a corporation or other entity taxable as a corporation created or
            organized in the United States or under the laws of the United
            States, any state or the District of Columbia;

      -     an estate whose income is subject to U.S. federal income tax
            regardless of its source; or

      -     a trust (x) whose administration is subject to the primary
            supervision of a U.S. court and which has one or more U.S. persons
            that have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the
            trust or (y) which has made an election to be treated as a U.S.
            person.

      If a partnership holds common stock, the tax treatment of a partner will
generally depend on the status of the partner and upon the activities of the
partnership. Accordingly, partnerships which hold our common stock and partners
in such partnerships should consult their tax advisors.

      This discussion assumes that non-U.S. holders will hold our common stock
issued pursuant to this offering as a capital asset (generally, property held
for investment). This discussion does not address all aspects of U.S. federal
income taxation that may be relevant in light of a non-U.S. holder's special tax
status or special tax situation. U.S. expatriates or former long-term residents,
life insurance companies, tax-exempt organizations, dealers in securities or
currency, banks or other financial institutions, investors whose functional
currency is other than the U.S. dollar, that have elected market-to-market
accounting, who acquired our common stock as compensation, or that hold our
common stock as part of a hedge, straddle, constructive sale, conversion, or
other risk reduction transaction, and special status corporations (such as
"controlled foreign corporations," "foreign investment companies," "foreign
passive investment companies," "foreign personal holding companies," and
corporations that accumulate earnings to avoid U.S. income tax) are among those
categories of potential investors that are subject to special rules not covered
in this discussion. This discussion does not address any tax consequences
arising under the laws of any state, local or non-U.S. taxing jurisdiction.
Furthermore, the following discussion is based on current provisions of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and Treasury Regulations and
administrative and judicial interpretations thereof, all as in effect on the
date hereof, and all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive
effect. Accordingly, each non-U.S. holder should consult a tax advisor regarding
the U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. income and other tax consequences of
acquiring, holding and disposing of shares of our common stock.

DIVIDENDS

      We have not paid any dividends on our common stock and we do not plan to
pay any dividends for the foreseeable future. However, if we do pay dividends on
our common stock, those payments will constitute dividends for U.S. tax purposes
to the extent paid from our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as
determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. To the extent those
dividends exceed our current and accumulated earnings and profits, the dividends
will constitute a return of capital and will first reduce a holder's tax basis,
but not below zero, and then will be treated as gain from the sale of stock.

      Any dividend (out of earnings and profits) paid to a non-U.S. holder of
common stock generally will be subject to U.S. withholding tax at a rate of 30%
of the gross amount of the dividend or such lower rate as may be specified by an
applicable tax treaty. In order to receive a reduced treaty rate, a non-U.S.
holder must provide us with an Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") Form W-8BEN (or
successor form) or an appropriate substitute form


                                       54


certifying qualification for the reduced rate. The non-U.S. holder must
periodically update the information on such forms. Such non-U.S. holder may also
be required to obtain and provide a U.S. taxpayer identification number and/or
demonstrate residence in the applicable foreign jurisdiction by providing
documentation issued by the government of such jurisdiction. Furthermore,
Treasury Regulations require special procedures for payments through qualified
intermediaries. A non-U.S. holder of common stock that is eligible for a reduced
rate of withholding tax pursuant to a tax treaty may obtain a refund of any
excess amounts currently withheld if an appropriate claim for refund is filed
with the IRS.

      Dividends received by a non-U.S. holder that are effectively connected
with a U.S. trade or business conducted by the non-U.S. holder are exempt from
such withholding tax. In order to obtain this exemption, a non-U.S. holder must
provide us with an IRS Form W-8ECI (or successor form) or an appropriate
substitute form properly certifying such exemption. "Effectively connected"
dividends, although not subject to withholding tax, are taxed at the same
graduated rates applicable to U.S. persons, net of certain deductions and
credits. If the non-U.S. holder is eligible for the benefits of a tax treaty
between the United States and the holder's country of residence, any effectively
connected dividends or gain would generally be subject to U.S. federal income
tax only if it is also attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base
maintained by the holder in the United States.

      In addition to the graduated tax described above, dividends received by a
corporate non-U.S. holder that are effectively connected with a U.S. trade or
business of the corporate non-U.S. holder may be subject to a branch profits tax
at a rate of 30% or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable tax
treaty.

GAIN ON DISPOSITION OF COMMON STOCK

      A non-U.S. holder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax
on any gain realized upon the sale or other disposition of our common stock
unless:

      -     the gain is effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business of
            the non-U.S. holder (which gain, in the case of a corporate non-U.S.
            holder, must also be taken into account for branch profits tax
            purposes);

      -     the non-U.S. holder is an individual who is present in the United
            States for a period or periods aggregating 183 days or more during
            the calendar year in which the sale or disposition occurs and
            certain other conditions are met; or

      -     our common stock constitutes a U.S. real property interest by reason
            of our status as a "U.S. real property holding corporation" for U.S.
            federal income tax purposes at any time within the shorter of the
            five-year period preceding the disposition or the holder's holding
            period for our common stock, and the non-U.S. holder does not fall
            within a de minimis exception. We have determined that we are not
            and do not believe that we will become a U.S. real property holding
            corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes. However, we can
            give no assurance that we will not become a U.S. real property
            holding corporation. Accordingly, non-U.S. holders are urged to
            consult their tax advisors to determine the application of these
            rules to their disposition of our common stock.

FEDERAL ESTATE TAXES

      Common stock owned or treated as owned by an individual who is a non-U.S.
holder at the time of death will be included in the individual's gross estate
for U.S. federal estate tax purposes and may be subject to U.S. federal estate
tax, unless an applicable tax treaty provides otherwise. An individual may be
subject to U.S. federal estate tax but not U.S. federal income tax as a resident
or may be subject to U.S. federal income tax as a resident but not U.S. federal
estate tax.

INFORMATION REPORTING AND BACKUP WITHHOLDING

      Generally, we must report annually to the IRS the amount of dividends
paid, the name and address of the recipient, and the amount, if any, of tax
withheld in the case of each non-U.S. holder. A similar report is sent to the


                                       55


holder. Tax treaties or other agreements may require the IRS to make its reports
available to tax authorities in the recipient's country of residence.

      Payments of dividends or of proceeds on the disposition of stock made to a
non-U.S. holder may be subject to backup withholding (currently at a rate of
28%) unless the non-U.S. holder establishes an exemption, for example by
properly certifying its non-U.S. status on a Form W-8BEN (or successor form) or
an appropriate substitute form. Notwithstanding the foregoing, backup
withholding may apply if either we or our paying agent has actual knowledge, or
reason to know, that the holder is a U.S. person or that any other condition of
exemption is not satisfied.

      The payment of the gross proceeds of the sale, exchange or other
disposition of our common stock to or through the U.S. office of any broker,
U.S. or foreign, will be subject to information reporting and possible backup
withholding unless the non-U.S. holder, prior to payment, certifies as to its
non-U.S. status under penalties of perjury or otherwise establishes an
exemption, and provided that the broker does not have actual knowledge, or
reason to know, that the purported non-U.S. holder is actually a U.S. person or
that the conditions of any other exemption are not in fact satisfied. The
payment of the gross proceeds of the sale, exchange or other disposition of our
common stock to or through a non-U.S. office of a non-U.S. broker will not be
subject to information reporting or backup withholding unless the non-U.S.
broker has certain types of relationships with the United States (a
"U.S.-related person"). In the case of the payment of the gross proceeds of the
sale, exchange or other disposition of our common stock to or through a non-U.S.
office of a broker that is either a U.S. person or a U.S.-related person,
Treasury Regulations do not require backup withholding but do require
information reporting on the payment unless the broker, prior to payment, (a)
has documentary evidence in its files that the owner is a non-U.S. holder, and
(b) has no knowledge, or reason to know, to the contrary.

      Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, the U.S. income tax
liability of persons subject to backup withholding will be reduced by the amount
of tax withheld. If withholding results in an overpayment of taxes, a refund may
be obtained, provided that the required information is furnished to the IRS.

      THE PRECEDING DISCUSSION OF MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME AND ESTATE TAX
CONSEQUENCES IS GENERAL INFORMATION ONLY AND IS NOT TAX ADVICE. ACCORDINGLY,
EACH INVESTOR SHOULD CONSULT THAT INVESTOR'S OWN TAX ADVISOR AS TO THE
PARTICULAR TAX CONSEQUENCES TO IT OF PURCHASING, HOLDING AND DISPOSING OF OUR
COMMON STOCK, INCLUDING THE APPLICABILITY AND EFFECT OF ANY STATE, LOCAL OR
NON-U.S. TAX LAWS AND OF ANY CHANGES OR PROPOSED CHANGES IN APPLICABLE LAW.

      Under the terms of an underwriting agreement, which has been filed as an
exhibit to the registration statement relating to this prospectus, each of the
underwriters named below, for whom Lehman Brothers Inc., Needham & Company, Inc.
and Thomas Weisel Partners LLC are acting as representatives, have severally
agreed to purchase from us the respective number of shares of common stock
opposite its name below:



                                                                                                      NUMBER OF

      The underwriting agreement provides that the underwriters' obligations to
purchase shares of our common stock depends on the satisfaction of the
conditions contained in the underwriting agreement, including:

      -     the obligation to purchase all of the shares of our common stock, if
            any of the shares are purchased (other than those shares subject to
            the underwriters' over-allotment option, until that option is
            exercised);

      -     if an underwriter defaults, purchase commitments of the
            non-defaulting underwriters may be increased or the underwriting
            agreement may be terminated;

      -     the representations and warranties made by us to the underwriters
            are true;

      -     there is no material change in the financial markets; and

      -     we deliver customary closing documents to the underwriters.

OVER-ALLOTMENT OPTION

      We have granted the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to
shares at the public offering price less underwriting discounts and commissions.
This option may be exercised to cover over-allotments. To the extent that the
option is exercised, each underwriter will be obligated, subject to certain
conditions, to purchase a number of additional shares proportionate to the
underwriter's initial commitment as indicated in the preceding table, and we
will be obligated, pursuant to the option, to sell these shares to the
underwriters.

COMMISSIONS AND EXPENSES

      The representatives have advised us that the underwriters propose to offer
shares of common stock directly to the public at the public offering price on
the cover of this prospectus and to selected dealers, who may include the
underwriters, at such offering price less a selling concession not in excess of
$        per share. The underwriters may allow, and the selected dealers may
re-allow, a discount from the concession not in excess of $         per share to
other dealers. After the offering, the underwriters may change the public
offering price and other offering terms.

      The following table summarizes the underwriting discounts and commissions
we will pay to the underwriters in connection with the offering. These amounts
are shown assuming both no exercise and full exercise of the underwriters'
over-allotment option to purchase up to        additional shares. The
underwriting fee is the difference between the initial price to the public and
the amount the underwriters pay us for the shares.

Total.....................................           $                    $


      We estimate that the total expenses of this offering, excluding
underwriting discounts and commissions paid by us, will be approximately
$             .

LISTING

      We propose to list our common stock on the Nasdaq National Market under
the symbol "PNYT." In connection with that listing, the underwriters have
undertaken to sell the minimum number of shares to the minimum number of
beneficial owners necessary to meet the Nasdaq National Market listing
requirements.

OFFERING PRICE DETERMINATION

      Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our common
stock. The initial public offering price will be determined by negotiation
between us and the underwriters. The factors that the representatives will
consider in determining the public offering price include:

      -     the history and prospects for the industry in which we compete;

      -     the ability of our management and our business potential and earning
            prospects;

      -     the prevailing securities markets at the time of this offering; and

      -     the recent market prices of, and the demand for, publicly traded
            shares of generally comparable companies.

STABILIZATION, SHORT POSITIONS AND PENALTY BIDS

      The underwriters may engage in over-allotment, stabilizing transactions,
syndicate covering transactions, and penalty bids or purchases for the purpose
of pegging, fixing or maintaining the price of the common stock, in accordance
with Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended:

      -     Over-allotment involves sales by the underwriter of shares in excess
            of the number of shares the underwriter is obligated to purchase,
            which creates a syndicate short position. The short position may be
            either a covered short position or a naked short position. In a
            covered short position, the number of shares over-allotted by the
            underwriter is not greater than the number of shares that they may
            purchase in the over-allotment option. In a naked short position,
            the number of shares involved is greater than the number of shares
            in the over-allotment option. The underwriter may close out any
            short position by either exercising its over-allotment option and/or
            purchasing shares in the open market.

      -     Stabilizing transactions permit bids to purchase the underlying
            security so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified
            maximum.

      -     Syndicate covering transactions involve purchases of the common
            stock in the open market after the distribution has been completed
            in order to cover syndicate short positions. In determining the
            source of shares to close out the short position, the underwriter
            will consider, among other things, the price of shares available for
            purchase in the open market as compared to the price at which they
            may purchase shares through the over-allotment option. If the
            underwriter sells more shares than could be covered by the
            over-allotment option, which is called a naked short position, the
            position can only be closed out by buying shares in the open market.
            A naked short position is more likely to be created if the
            underwriter is concerned that there could be downward pressure on
            the price of the shares in the open market after pricing that could
            adversely affect investors who purchase shares in the offering.


                                       58


      -     Penalty bids permit the underwriters to reclaim a selling concession
            from a syndicate member when the common stock originally sold by the
            syndicate member is purchased in a stabilizing or syndicate covering
            transaction to cover syndicate short positions.

      These stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions and
penalty bids may have the effect of raising or maintaining the market price of
the common stock or preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the
common stock. As a result, the price of the common stock may be higher than the
price that might otherwise exist in the open market. These transactions may be
effected on the Nasdaq National Market or otherwise and, if commenced, may be
discontinued at any time.

      Neither we nor any of the underwriters make any representation or
prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any effect that the transactions
described above may have on the price of the common stock. In addition, neither
we nor the underwriters make any representation that the underwriters will
engage in these stabilizing transactions or that any transaction, once
commenced, will not be discontinued without notice.

LOCK-UP AGREEMENTS

      We have agreed that we will not offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge or
otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, or file with the Commission a
registration statement under the Securities Act relating to, any shares of our
common stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for
any shares of our common stock, or publicly disclose the intention to make any
such offer, sale, pledge, disposition or filing, without the prior written
consent of Lehman Brothers Inc., on behalf of the underwriters, for a period of
180 days after the date of this prospectus, except pursuant to the exercise of
options outstanding on the date hereof, grants of employee stock options
pursuant to the terms of a plan in effect on the date hereof, issuances pursuant
to the exercise of such options, the filing of registration statements on Form
S-8 and amendments thereto in connection with those stock options or our
employee stock purchase plans in existence on the date hereof.

      Our executive officers and directors and stockholders holding
substantially all of our common stock have entered into lock-up agreements under
which they agreed not to transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly,
including by way of any hedging or derivatives transaction, any shares of our
common stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable
for shares of our common stock for a period of 180 days after the date of this
prospectus without the prior written consent of Lehman Brothers Inc., on behalf
of the underwriters.

INDEMNIFICATION

      We have agreed to indemnify the underwriters against certain liabilities,
including liabilities under the Securities Act, liabilities arising from
breaches of the representations and warranties contained in the underwriting
agreement and liabilities incurred in connection with the directed share program
referred to below, and to contribute to payments that the underwriters may be
required to make for these liabilities.

DIRECTED SHARE PROGRAM

      At our request, the underwriters have reserved for sale at the initial
public offering price up to        shares offered hereby to certain persons as
directed by us. The number of shares available for sale to the general public
will be reduced to the extent such persons purchase such reserved shares. Any
reserved shares not so purchased will be offered by the underwriters to the
general public on the same basis as the other shares offered hereby.

DISCRETIONARY ACCOUNTS

      The representatives have informed us that they will not intend to confirm
the sales of shares of common stock offered by this prospectus to any accounts
over which they exercise discretionary authority in excess of 5% of shares
offered by them.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors
PNY Technologies, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of PNY
Technologies, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2002 and
2003, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders'
equity and comprehensive income (loss) and cash flows for the years then ended.
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated
financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of PNY Technologies,
Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2002 and 2003, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND PRACTICES

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

      PNY Technologies, Inc. (the "Company"), incorporated in 1985, is a
designer and marketer of Flash memory cards, DRAM modules, consumer and
professional graphics cards, USB Flash drives and other computer-related
technology products. The Company markets these products to consumers through
traditional retailers, such as Best Buy, CompUSA and Staples, through other
retail and distribution channels, and directly to professionals. The Company
also designs, manufactures and markets custom and standard DRAM modules for
original equipment manufacturers, or OEMs, and their designated contract
manufacturers. These customers include high-end computing, networking, storage
and telecommunications equipment manufacturers, such as LSI Logic Corporation
and Network Appliance, Inc. The Company currently markets its products
throughout the United States, as well as in Canada, Western Europe and certain
parts of the Asia Pacific region.

OWNERSHIP

      At December 31, 2002 and 2003, a majority of the issued and outstanding
common stock was owned by one individual, who was also the Chairman, President
and Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

      The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, PNY Technologies Europe, S.A.S.
("PNY Europe"). Prior to May 2002, the Company also consolidated its former
wholly-owned subsidiary, PNY Technologies Ireland Limited ("PNY Ireland"), which
has since been dissolved. The Company also consolidates a Taiwan branch office
("PNY Taiwan"). PNY Europe has two wholly-owned subsidiaries, PNY Technologies
GmbH ("PNY Germany") and PNY Technologies (UK) Limited ("PNY UK"). PNY Europe,
PNY Germany and PNY UK, and for the applicable years, PNY Ireland, are referred
to collectively as the "Subsidiaries." All intercompany balances and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

      Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the
current year's presentation.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

      The Company's financial instruments consist mainly of cash, accounts
receivable and accounts payable. The carrying amounts of these financial
instruments approximate fair value due to their short-term nature. The carrying
amounts of long-term debt, capital lease obligations and notes payable are
estimated to approximate their fair values as the stated rates approximate
current rates.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

      The financial statements of the Company's foreign subsidiaries have been
translated in accordance with SFAS No. 52, Foreign Currency Translation ("SFAS
No. 52"). The functional currency of the Company's foreign subsidiaries is the
applicable local currency. The translation from the applicable foreign currency
to U.S. dollars is performed for the balance sheet accounts using current
exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and for revenue and expense
accounts using a weighted-average exchange rate during the period. The resulting
translation adjustments are recorded as a component of stockholders' equity.
Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in
other income in the accompanying statements of operations.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND PRACTICES (CONTINUED)



USE OF ESTIMATES

      The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in
the financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant items subject to
such estimates and assumptions include the carrying amount of property, plant
and equipment; valuation allowances for receivables, inventories and deferred
tax assets; and valuation of customer allowances. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

      Non-consignment sales are recognized upon shipment of goods to customers.
Consignment sales are recognized upon customer notification that the goods have
been sold. A substantial portion of the Company's sales include limited rights
to return unsold inventory. The Company provides for estimated future returns of
inventory based on historical experience. However, if certain returns in excess
of estimates occur, those amounts are accrued at the time the Company becomes
aware of them, which may not be in the same period in which the initial sale is
booked. In addition, some customers have limited price protection rights for
inventories of the Company's products held by them. If the Company reduces the
list price of these previously purchased products, these customers may be
entitled to receive credits. The Company accrues for these limited price
protection arrangements when the customer is notified of the price change. The
Company offers various rebate arrangements to both customers and end-user
consumers. The Company accrues for the estimated cost of these rebate
arrangements using actual sell through data supplied by customers and historical
redemption percentages. Net sales are defined as gross sales less these
estimated future returns, limited price protection arrangements and rebate
arrangements.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

      As permitted by SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
("SFAS No. 123"), which establishes a fair value based method of accounting for
stock-based compensation plans, the Company has elected to follow Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees ("APB
25"), for recognizing stock-based compensation expense for financial statement
purposes. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation resulting from vesting
on a pro rata basis.

      If the Company had recognized compensation expense based on the fair value
of the options as calculated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model at the
grant date as prescribed by SFAS No. 123, net (loss) income would have changed
to the pro forma amounts indicated in the table below.

ADVERTISING AND MARKET DEVELOPMENT COSTS

      Advertising and market development costs were charged to operations as
incurred. Advertising and development costs amounted to $19,104 for the year
ended December 31, 2003 of which $2,168 was offset against gross sales in
accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 01-09, "EITF 01-09", and
$16,936 was charged as an operating expense. Advertising and market development
costs amounted to $16,176 for the year ended December 31, 2002 of which $750 was
offset against gross sales in accordance with EITF 01-09, and $15,426 was
charged as an operating expense. Advertising and market development costs
amounted to $11,528 for the year ended December 31, 2001, all of which was
charged as an operating expense.

      Consideration generally given by us to a customer is presumed to be a
reduction of selling price, and therefore, a reduction of gross sales. However,
if we receive an identifiable benefit that is sufficiently separable from our
sales to that customer, such that we could have paid an independent company to
receive that benefit and we can reasonably estimate the fair value of that
benefit then the consideration is characterized as an expense. We estimate the
fair value of the benefits we receive by tracking the advertising done by our
customers on our behalf and calculating the value of that advertising using a
comparable rate for similar publications.

INCOME TAXES

      In accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, ("SFAS No.
109"), the Company recognizes deferred income taxes for the tax consequences in
future years of differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and
their financial reporting amounts at each period end, based on enacted tax laws
and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are
expected to affect taxable income. The effect in deferred tax assets and
liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in operations in the period
that includes the enacted date. Valuation allowances are established when
necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than
not to be realized.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND PRACTICES (CONTINUED)

CASH EQUIVALENTS

      The Company considers all liquid investments with original maturities of
three months or less to be cash equivalents. The carrying amount of cash and
cash equivalents approximates its fair value due to its short-term and liquid
nature.

INVENTORIES

      Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method)
or market but not in excess of net realizable value. The Company provides
reserves for excess and obsolete inventories in the period in which excess and
obsolescence is determined.

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

      Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation and
amortization is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated
useful lives of the related assets. Expenditures for maintenance and repair
costs are charged to expense as incurred. The estimated useful lives by asset
category are as follows:


                                 
Building and improvements .....     10-20 years
Machinery and equipment .......       3-7 years
Computer equipment and software       3-5 years
Furniture and fixtures ........      7-10 years


LONG-LIVED ASSETS

      In accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal
of Long-Lived Assets ("SFAS No. 144"), which the Company adopted on January 1,
2002, the Company monitors events or changes in circumstance that may indicate
the carrying amounts of its long-lived assets may not be recoverable. When such
events or changes in circumstances are present, the Company assesses the
recoverability of its assets by determining whether the carrying amount of its
assets will be recovered through undiscounted, expected future cash flows.
Should the Company determine that the carrying values of specific long-lived
assets are not recoverable, the Company would record a charge to operations to
reduce the carrying value of such assets to their fair values. The Company
considers various valuation factors, principally discounted cash flows, to
assess the fair values of long-lived assets. Prior to adoption of SFAS No. 144,
the Company accounted for long-lived assets in accordance with SFAS No. 121,
Accounting for Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for the Long-Lived Assets to
be Disposed of ("SFAS No. 121").

PRODUCT WARRANTIES

      The Company sells products to customers with a warranty that provides, at
the sole option of the Company, either repairs at no cost to the customer or
replacement of the product. The length of the warranty term depends on the
product being sold, but ranges from 90 days to the lifecycle of the product. The
Company defines the lifecycle of a product as the time during which the product
is manufactured for the Company. The costs incurred to provide for these
warranty obligations are estimated and recorded as an accrued liability and
included in cost of sales at the time of sale. Actual costs have been within
management's expectations.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND PRACTICES (CONTINUED)

GUARANTEES

      The Company has historically agreed to indemnify suppliers and customers
for alleged patent infringements. The scope of such indemnity varies, but may,
in some instances, include indemnification for damages and expenses, including
attorneys' fees. The Company may periodically engage in litigation as a result
of these indemnification obligations. The Company's insurance policies exclude
coverage for third-party claims for patent infringement. The nature of the
patent infringement indemnification obligations prevents the Company from making
a reasonable estimate of the maximum potential amount it could be required to
pay to its suppliers and customers. Historically, the Company has not made any
significant indemnification payments under any such agreements and no amount has
been accrued in the accompanying consolidated financial statements with respect
to these indemnification guarantees.

      The Company has issued a guarantee for the performance of obligations by
one of its subsidiaries. The guarantee could require the Company to make future
payments in the event the subsidiary does not make its required payments to a
specific vendor. The liability of the Company is continuous until payment of
every obligation is made. The Company has not recorded a liability for this
guarantee. At December 31, 2003, the Company's subsidiary did not have an amount
outstanding relating to this guarantee.

COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

      The Company follows the provisions of SFAS No. 130, Reporting
Comprehensive Income ("SFAS No. 130"), which established standards for reporting
and display of comprehensive income and its components. Comprehensive income
reflects the change in equity of a business enterprise during a period from
transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. For the
Company, comprehensive income (loss) represents net income (loss) adjusted for
foreign currency translation adjustments. In accordance with SFAS No. 130, the
Company has chosen to disclose comprehensive income (loss) in the consolidated
statements of stockholders' equity.

PRO FORMA STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY DATA (UNAUDITED)

      Upon the consummation of the initial public offering contemplated herein,
all of the Company's Series A Preferred Stock, including 13,268 issued and
outstanding shares and 1,117 treasury shares, automatically convert into
3,980,400 shares and 335,100 shares, respectively, of common stock (see Note 9).
The effective conversion price is $3.85. The December 31, 2003 unaudited pro
forma stockholders' equity data has been prepared assuming the conversion of the
Company's Series A Preferred Stock as of December 31, 2003, into common stock as
of December 31, 2003.

PRO FORMA NET INCOME PER SHARE (UNAUDITED)

      Pro forma basic and diluted net income per share (unaudited) is computed
using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding, adjusted to
include the unaudited pro forma effects of the automatic conversion of the
Company's Series A Preferred Stock into shares of the Company's common stock
(see Note 9) as if such conversion occurred on the first day of each such
period. The resulting pro forma adjustment is an increase in the
weighted-average shares used to compute basic earnings per share of 3,980,400
shares for the period ended December 31, 2003. Pro forma diluted net income per
share (unaudited) is computed using the treasury stock method using average fair
value adjusted to include the unaudited pro forma net effect of dilutive
warrants and stock options.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

      In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, Guarantor's
Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Guarantees of
Indebtedness of Others ("FIN 45"). FIN 45 elaborates on the existing disclosure
requirements for most guarantees, including loan guarantees such as standby
letters of credit and non-performance guarantees. It also requires that at the
time a company issues a guarantee, the company must recognize an initial
liability for the fair market value of the obligations it assumes under that
guarantee and must disclose that information in its financial statements. The
initial recognition and measurement provisions of FIN 45 apply on a prospective
basis to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. The adoption of
this statement has not had a significant impact on the Company's consolidated
financial statements.

      In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of
Variable Interest Entities - an interpretation of ARB No. 51 ("FIN 46"). The
objective of FIN 46 is to improve financial reporting by companies involved with
variable interest entities. This new model for consolidation applies to an
entity in which either (1) the powers or rights of the equity holders do not
give them sufficient decision making powers or (2) the equity investment at risk
is insufficient to finance that entity's activities without receiving additional
subordinated financial support from other parties. FIN 46 requires a variable
interest entity to be consolidated into the company that is subject to a
majority of the risk of loss from the variable interest entity's activities or
that is entitled to receive a majority of the entity's residual returns or both.
The consolidation requirements of FIN 46 apply immediately to variable interest
entities created after January 31, 2003. For entities created before February 1,
2003, the consolidation requirements generally apply in the first fiscal year or
interim period beginning after December 15, 2003. The adoption of this statement
will not have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial
statements.

      In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, Accounting for Certain
Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity ("SFAS
No. 150"). SFAS No. 150 revised the accounting for certain financial instruments
that, under previous guidance, issuers could account for as equity. SFAS No. 150
establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain
financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It
requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within its scope
as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances). This Statement is effective
for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003 (except
for mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interests). For all instruments that
existed prior to May 31, 2003, the Standard is effective at the beginning of the
first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND PRACTICES (CONTINUED)


(except for mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interests). For mandatorily
redeemable noncontrolling interests, the FASB has deferred the provisions of
SFAS No. 150 until further notice. The provisions of SFAS No. 150 adopted thus
far did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial
statements and the adoption of the remaining provision of SFAS No. 150 is not
expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.



NOTE 2 - ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK

      Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to
concentrations of credit risk consist principally of trade receivables. A
limited numbers of customers historically have accounted for a substantial
portion of the Company's net sales. Sales to our top 5 customers accounted for
64.8%, 54.1% and 51.4% of our net sales for the years ended December 31, 2001,
2002 and 2003, respectively. Only two of the top five customers in 2003 were
also part of the Company's top five customers in 2002 and 2001. The Company
extends credit to its customers in the normal course of business and performs
periodic credit evaluations of its customers, maintaining allowances for
potential losses. The Company generally does not require collateral or other
security with regards to balances due from customers.

      Certain customers accounted for more than 10% of consolidated net sales as
follows:

      Changes in market conditions required management to make estimates
regarding the reduction of the carrying value of inventory on hand at December
31, 2002 and 2003, to record inventory at the lower of cost or market.

      At December 31, 2002 and 2003, the Company had $6,193 and $3,084,
respectively, of consigned inventory at certain of its customers. Such amounts
were included within finished goods and will be recognized as revenue when the
customer notifies the Company that the goods have been sold through.

NOTE 5 - GOVERNMENT GRANTS

      The French government provided monetary grants totaling approximately
$1,100 to PNY Europe based on employment and investment requirements. At
December 31, 2002 and 2003, approximately $143 and $157 of the grants,
respectively, have been deferred and will be recognized as income over the
useful lives of the related assets. In 2001, 2002 and 2003, grant income was
approximately $12, $12 and $13, respectively.


NOTE 6 - LONG-TERM DEBT AND CAPITAL LEASES

      The Company has a revolving U.S. bank financing agreement originally dated
February 23, 1996, as amended through November 7, 2003 (the "Agreement"). The
maximum amount available under the Agreement is $50,000. The term of the
Agreement extends to February 23, 2007. The Agreement specifies that interest is
due monthly at an interest rate, at the option of the Company, of prime rate
plus 0.25% or Eurodollar plus 2.25%. The blended interest rate under the
Agreement was 4.05% and 3.57% at December 31, 2002 and 2003, respectively. At
December 31, 2002 and 2003, $33,894 and $40,015, respectively, were outstanding
under the Agreement and have been classified as a short-term borrowing due to
withdrawal restrictions within the agreement on a related bank account in which
customer receipts must be deposited. These restrictions prohibit disbursement of
funds in the related bank account to anyone other than the bank for direct
repayment of the outstanding liability. Availability under the Agreement is
based on defined percentages of eligible accounts receivable and inventories.
Amounts outstanding under the Agreement are collateralized by accounts
receivable and inventories.

      The Agreement contains certain restrictive covenants, including a
prohibition of related party transactions, additional indebtedness and dividend
payments, as well as a requirement to maintain a minimum net worth and fixed
charge ratio requirements.

      PNY Europe also has available lines of credit as of December 31, 2003 with
various foreign banks totaling approximately $13,724 that expire through
December 31, 2004. There were no borrowings outstanding under these lines at
December 31, 2002. At December 31, 2003, there was $365 outstanding under these
lines.

      The following is a schedule as of December 31, 2003 of future minimum
lease payments under capital leases together with the present value of net
minimum lease payments:

NOTE 7 - EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN

      The Company has a tax deferred savings plan covering substantially all
U.S. employees of the Company under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code.
The Company matches one-half of the first 6% of employee contributions and makes
additional contributions to the plan annually at the discretion of the Board of
Directors. Company contributions to the tax deferred savings plan were $522,
$402 and $400 for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2002 and 2003,
respectively.

NOTE 8 - REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK

      On December 5, 2000, the Company redeemed all of its outstanding Series B
and C preferred stock shares at their aggregate liquidation preference of
$18,060. The Series B and C preferred stock was owned by the spouse of the
principal stockholder. The holder of all the outstanding shares of Series B and
C preferred stock had irrevocably waived the rights to all dividends. In lieu of
a cash payment for the total liquidation preference, cash of $6,000 was paid and
a note payable of $12,060 (the "Note") was issued. The Note was reduced by an
outstanding loan receivable from the same individual in the amount of $2,250. At
December 31, 2003, the outstanding balance of the Note was $4,971 (see Note 10).



NOTE 9 - STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

CAPITAL STOCK

      The Company is authorized to issue 135,000,000 shares of all classes of
capital stock, 125,000,000 as common and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock.
The Board of Directors has the authority, without action by the stockholders, to
designate and issue preferred stock in one or more series and to designate the
rights, preferences and privileges of each series, any of which may be greater
than the rights of the common stock. It is not possible to state the actual
effect of any issuance of any shares of the preferred stock on the rights of
holders of common stock until the Board of Directors determines the specific
rights of the preferred stock. The effects of such might include, among other
things, restricting dividends on the common stock, diluting the power of the
common stock, impairing liquidation rights of the common stock and delaying or
preventing a change of control or the removal of our existing management without
further action by the shareholders. At present, the Company has designated
15,000 shares of Convertible Series A preferred stock.

      Each share of common stock is entitled to one vote and each share of
Convertible Series A preferred stock entitles the stockholder to votes equal to
the number of shares of common stock into which the shares of Convertible Series
A preferred stock is convertible. Each share of Convertible Series A preferred
stock is convertible at the option of the holder, at any time, into fully paid
and nonassessable shares of common stock, at a 300-to-1 conversion ratio,
subject to anti-dilution adjustments. One such anti-dilution adjustment requires
the conversion price to be reduced if the Company issues any shares of common
stock (or common stock equivalents) at a price per share more than 1% less than
the current conversion price of $3.85. In the event the Company completes a
public offering for at least $15,000 in common stock, the Series A preferred
stock automatically converts into common stock at the then existing conversion
ratio. Each share of Series A preferred stock has a preference in liquidation
equal to the original price per share ($1,153.85 per share), plus accrued and
unpaid dividends, if any.

      The Convertible Series A preferred stock stockholders are entitled to
participate in dividends declared and paid to common stockholders, on the basis
of the number of shares of common stock into which the Convertible Series A
preferred stock is convertible. In connection with the redemption of all shares
of Series B and C preferred stock (see Note 8), the holders of Convertible
Series A preferred stock became entitled to 7% dividends paid semi-annually.
Effective January 1, 2002, the dividend rate was changed to 4.25%.

      On April 1, 2003, December 31, 2003 and January 1, 2004, holders of more
than 50% of each class of issued and outstanding stock, by unanimous consent,
approved a restated certificate of incorporation pursuant to which the dividends
that were payable or were to be payable to the holders of shares of Convertible
Series A preferred stock, which have been accrued since December 5, 2000, were
waived. As such, no dividends shall accrue or be payable in respect to any
periods prior to July 1, 2004 and all rights of the holders of the Convertible
Series A preferred stock to receive dividends which had been accrued prior to
such period and which had not been declared were cancelled. At December 31,
2002, the Company had a payable in the amount of dividends that have not been
declared of $1,797. Accordingly, the Company recognized a waiver of dividends in
the amount of $1,797 for the

year ended December 31, 2003. During 2003, the Company also accrued dividends of
$650 and then recognized a waiver of such dividends in the amount of $650 as a
result of the December 31, 2003 consent.

TREASURY STOCK

      The Company has from time to time purchased outstanding shares of issued
stock from stockholders. Such purchases are recorded at cost and represent the
Company's estimated fair market value at the time of purchase. To date, the
Company has purchased 1,117 shares of Convertible Series A preferred stock.

WARRANTS

      In connection with the issuance of Convertible Series A preferred stock to
certain investors, the Company issued warrants that expired on August 4, 2002.
The holders of the Series A preferred stock and related warrants have certain
registration rights.

      Certain members of senior management and the Board of Directors have been
issued warrants to purchase shares of common stock of the Company. The first
such warrant was issued on November 1, 1995, and provided for the purchase of
240,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $6.25 per share (whose
price automatically increases by 10% as of November 1, 1996, and on each
November 1 thereafter), was subject to pro rata vesting over a five year period
and was exercisable through November 1, 2005. This warrant to purchase common
stock was exchanged on March 4, 1997, for a new warrant to purchase 150,000
shares of common stock at an exercise price of $3.85 per share (whose price
automatically increases by 10% as of April 22, 2000, and on each April 22
thereafter). A second such warrant was issued as of April 22, 1996, and provides
for the purchase of 360,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $3.85
per share (whose price automatically increases by 10% as of April 22, 2000, and
on each April 22 thereafter), is subject to pro rata vesting over a five year
period and is exercisable through April 22, 2006. Under APB No. 25, these
warrants required variable accounting treatment, thus compensation expense was
recorded for an amount equal to the difference between the exercise price and
fair market value at each reporting period-end. A $42 reduction of compensation
expense was recorded during the year ended December 31, 2001, in connection with
these warrants due to declines in the fair value market value of the underlying
shares. During 1998, upon the resignation of a member of senior management, a
portion of the second warrant, representing 216,000 shares of common stock (100%
of non-vested shares under the warrant) was forfeited. On January 2, 2002, both
holders elected to forfeit their remaining warrants to the Company. The Company
subsequently issued stock options to these holders to purchase common stock,
which qualified as a fixed award under SFAS No. 123. The related charge to
compensation expense was not material to the consolidated financial statements.

      In May 1998, a member of senior management and a member of the Board of
Directors were issued warrants to purchase 949,500 shares of common stock of the
Company. The first such warrant provides for the purchase of 49,500 shares of
common stock at an exercise price of $0.03 per share. Shares under this warrant
were immediately vested. The second such warrant provides for the purchase of
900,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.03 per share and is
subject to pro rata vesting over two and one-half years. Both warrants issued in
1998 are exercisable through May 1, 2008. On December 5, 2001, the warrant to
purchase 900,000 shares of common stock was exercised by the member of senior
management.

RESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS

      During 1997 and 1998, the Company granted 1,335,300 shares of common stock
for no consideration to certain employees. At the time these awards were made,
the Company's principal stockholder agreed to transfer to the Company the number
of shares of common stock equal to the number of shares of common stock that are
no longer subject to restrictions. Compensation expense was recorded in
connection with these stock awards in

accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5T. The compensation expense
recorded and the increase to stockholders' equity was not material. These awards
are subject to a ten-year cliff-vesting schedule, based upon continued
employment. The shares are also subject to certain restrictions on transfer
during a defined restriction period. The restriction period terminates on the
earliest to occur of (1) 180 days following the consummation of an IPO, (2)
immediately prior to a change in control and (3) ten years after the date of
grant.

COMMON STOCK RESERVED

      At December 31, 2003, the Company has reserved shares of common stock as
follows:

    Total............................    12,044,750
                                         ==========





NOTE 10 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

      Notes receivable from employees are due on demand with interest at 8.0%
per annum and represent loans to purchase Convertible Series A preferred stock
(see Note 11). The underlying stock has been pledged as collateral for each
outstanding note. The portions of such notes not repaid are reflected as a
component of stockholders' equity.

      The note payable to related party is partial consideration for the
liquidation of Series B and C preferred stock (see Note 8). The note is payable
in full on December 31, 2004, and has three possible extensions at the option of
the Company. The first extension extends the due date of the note one year, the
second for two additional years after that and the third for an additional two
years after that, for a total of five years from its initial due date. It is the
Company's intention to exercise the first extension and thus the Company has
classified the amount outstanding at December 31, 2003 as long-term. Interest is
payable semi-annually and was originally 7% per annum. Effective January 1,
2002, the interest rate was changed to 4.25% per annum.

      Upon receipt of proceeds from an initial public offering under the
Securities Act of 1933, the Company is required to prepay this note in an amount
equal to the unpaid principal balance and accrued interest through such date.


NOTE 11 - MANAGEMENT STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

      In 1996, the Company adopted a Management Stock Purchase Plan (the "1996
Plan"), whereby certain officers and key employees (e.g., "management
stockholders") of the Company were provided an opportunity to purchase shares of
the Company's Series A preferred stock at pre-determined prices. The shares
owned by the participants in the 1996 Plan have certain registration rights and
are subject to certain transfer restrictions (including

a three year mandatory holding period) and certain put and call rights that
become effective in connection with the participants' termination of employment
(see Note 10).

      All sales of stock are subject to the Company's right of first refusal.
Should the Company's stock be publicly traded subsequent to the expiration of
the mandatory holding period, all transfer restrictions and put and call rights
cease to be effective.

      In May 2001, the Company forgave $12 of outstanding promissory notes due
from a Series A preferred stockholder. This note was originally issued in 1996
in exchange for the stockholders' preferred shares. The $12 was included in
compensation expense.


NOTE 12 - EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTION PLAN

      In June 1999, the Company adopted a Stock Option Plan for Directors,
Officers and Employees (the "1999 Plan") that provides for nonqualified stock
option grants. Options granted in June 1999 have an exercise price of $1.00 per
share and vested ratably over three years, provided the participant remained
employed by the Company. Subsequent grants have an exercise price ranging from
$1.33 to $14.00 per share and vest ratably over four years. In the event of
death, disability or retirement of a participant, all shares immediately vest.
At December 31, 2003, shares available for future grants under the 1999 Plan
were 4,998,170.

      The options generally expire 10 years from the date of grant. However, in
the event a participant's employment is terminated without cause or for good
reason, as defined, the options expire 30 days after termination. If a
participant's employment is terminated as a result of death, disability or
retirement, the options expire 90 days from the date of termination. All shares
issued pursuant to the 1999 Plan are subject to transfer restrictions and
certain put and call rights that become effective in connection with the
participant's termination of employment. These rights cease to be effective if
the Company's stock becomes publicly traded.

      During the year ended December 31, 2003, no options were granted. In
accordance with APB No. 25, the Company recorded compensation (income) expense
of approximately $1,868, $(223) and $306 for the years ended December 31, 2001,
2002 and 2003, respectively, because the fair market value of the underlying
common stock on the date of grant exceeded the exercise price of the options
granted. In 2002, the compensation income resulted from non-vested options being
forfeited due to employee terminations. Based on the vesting schedules of these
grants, the Company will recognize additional compensation expense of $154 in
2004.

      In accordance with APB No. 25, no compensation expense was recognized
related to grants issued during 2002 because the exercise price of the stock
options granted were equal to or greater than the fair market value of the
underlying common stock on the date of grant.

      The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant
using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average
assumptions:

      The Company has established a valuation allowance against its deferred tax
assets based upon an assessment that it is more likely than not that it will not
realize the benefits of all these tax deductions in the near future. The Company
has established a valuation allowance against its entire state deferred tax
asset and a portion of its federal deferred tax asset. The assessment is based
upon the Company's past performance and its forecasted taxable income. The
valuation allowance covers among other items, net operating loss carry-forwards,
tax credits and stock based compensation. The increase (decrease) in the
Company's valuation allowance for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2002 and
2003 was $(1,629), $621 and $116, respectively.

      At December 31, 2003, the Company had net operating loss carry forwards
for the states of New Jersey and California at approximately $4.5 million and
$1.7 million, respectively. Both states enacted legislation that suspended the
use of net operating loss carry forwards during the 2002 and 2003 tax year.

NOTE 15 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

LEASES

      The Company has entered into operating leases for equipment, manufacturing
and office facilities that expire on various dates through March 2007. The
future minimum annual rental commitments under non-cancelable operating
facilities leases, net of rental income at December 31, 2003, are as follows:

                                                           ======


      Rent expense, net of rental income, for the years ended December 31, 2001,
2002 and 2003 was approximately $4,448, $5,100 and $2,823, respectively.

      In February 1999, the Company entered into a non-cancelable sublease
agreement for office facilities. Rental income was $330 for each of the years
ended December 31, 2001, 2002 and 2003. The lease expires February 28, 2005 and
provides for monthly rental payments of $27. The lease may be extended through
February 28, 2007 at the lessee's option at terms comparable to the initial term
of the lease.

LEGAL MATTERS

      In the ordinary course of business, the Company becomes involved in
lawsuits, administrative and other proceedings. Some of these proceedings may
result in fines, penalties or judgments being assessed against the Company. The
Company received notice on or about August 7, 2000 that Lemelson Medical,
Education & Research Foundation, LLP filed a complaint against the Company and
other defendants on June 30, 2000. The complaint was filed in the United States
District Court in the District of Arizona and alleges that the Company's
manufacturing processes infringe several patents that the Lemelson Foundation
allegedly owns. The case has been stayed pending the outcome of another case
challenging the validity and enforceability of the patents at issue. The Company
accrued $340 in 2000 based in part on settlement discussions with the plaintiff,
which have since been abandoned. However, because of the preliminary stage of
this case, any revised estimate of potential damages would be speculative, and
the Company has not made any such revised estimate at this time.

      The Company is not currently involved in any other material legal
proceedings. The Company is not aware of any other material legal proceedings
threatened against it.



NOTE 16 - SEGMENT INFORMATION

      The Company has two reportable segments: Consumer and OEM. The accounting
policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of
significant accounting policies and reflect the information used by the
Company's management to evaluate the performance of its segments. Certain
expenses reported within cost of sales are allocated between the divisions. The
Company tracks separately net sales and gross profit, but does not track
separately operating expenses, interest or income taxes by segment. The Company
does not maintain separate records to identify assets by operating segment.

      For the years ended December 31, 2001, 2002 and 2003, international sales
comprised approximately 15.2%, 23.7% and 35.0% of the Company's revenues,
respectively. During these years, no single foreign country accounted for more
than 10% of total revenues, although because the Company does business within
the European Union, the Company has exposure to fluctuations in the Euro. The
amounts of revenue denominated in Euros for the years ended December 31, 2001,
2002 and 2003 were 12.8%, 13.7% and 15.6%, respectively. Foreign sales are
shipped directly from the Company's foreign subsidiaries, while export sales are
shipped from the United States to the Company's foreign customers. Financial
information regarding the Company's international revenues is shown in the
following table:

      For 2001 and 2002, the numerator for the calculation of basic and diluted
earnings per share was the same because the Company sustained a loss for the
year and therefore, the effect would be anti-dilutive.

      For the year ended December 31, 2003, the net waiver of dividends on
Convertible Series A preferred stock has been deducted from net income available
to common stockholders, the numerator, for the calculation of diluted earnings
per share, as the calculation for weighted-average common shares and common
share equivalents assumes the conversion of the Convertible A Preferred stock as
of the first day of the year.

      During the year 2001, the conversion of 13,268 shares of Series A
preferred stock, warrants to purchase 1,806,000 common shares and employee stock
options to purchase 2,567,230 shares of common stock were not included in the
computation of diluted loss per common share because the Company sustained a
loss for the year ended December 31, 2001, and, therefore, the effect would be
anti-dilutive.

      During the year 2002, the conversion of 13,268 shares of Series A
preferred stock, warrants to purchase 49,500 common shares and employee stock
options to purchase 2,585,130 shares of common stock were not

ITEM 14. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

      Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits
indemnification of the Registrant's officers and directors under certain
conditions and subject to certain limitations. Section 145 of the Delaware
General Corporation Law also provides that a corporation has the power to
purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of its officers and directors against
any liability asserted against such person and incurred by him or her in such
capacity, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the
corporation would have the power to indemnify him or her against such liability
under the provisions of Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law.

      Article V of the Registrant's Amended and Restated Bylaws provides that
the Registrant shall indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent
authorized by the Delaware General Corporation Law. The rights to indemnity
thereunder continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer,
employee or agent and inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and
administrators of the person. In addition, expenses incurred by a director or
executive officer in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative action, suit or proceeding by reason of the fact that he or she is
or was a director or officer of the Registrant (or was serving at the
Registrant's request as a director or officer of another corporation) shall be
paid by the Registrant in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit
or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or
officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he or she
is not entitled to be indemnified by the Registrant as authorized by the
relevant section of the Delaware General Corporation Law.

      As permitted by Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law,
Article VIII of the Registrant's Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as
amended, provides that a director of the Registrant shall not be personally
liable for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except
for liability (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the
Registrant or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or
acts or omissions that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of
law, (iii) under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law or (iv) for
any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

      The Registrant has purchased directors' and officers' liability insurance.





                                      II-1

      The underwriting agreement (Exhibit 1.1 hereto) contains provisions by
which the underwriters have agreed to indemnify the Registrant, each person, if
any, who controls the Registrant within the meaning of Section 15 of the
Securities Act, each director of the Registrant, and each officer of the
Registrant who signs this registration statement, with respect to information
furnished in writing by or on behalf of the underwriters for use in the
registration statement.

ITEM 15: RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES

      The following is a summary of transactions by the Registrant during the
past three years involving sales and issuances of securities that were not
registered under the Securities Act of 1933.

      On March 1, 2001, the Registrant granted options to purchase an aggregate
of 554,780 shares of common stock to a number of its employees at an exercise
price of $4.50 per share. None of these shares have been exercised. However,
69,050 were forfeited and retired when certain employees resigned from the
Registrant.

      In December 2001, a key employee exercised warrants that were granted to
him by the Registrant, for no consideration, in May 1998. Upon exercise of these
warrants, the Registrant issued 900,000 shares of common stock to this
individual.

      In January 2002, two of the Registrant's directors exchanged variable
priced warrants, which were issued while both directors were officers of the
company, for fixed price options to purchase an aggregate of 294,000 shares of
its common stock with an exercise price of $3.00 per share. These options have
not been exercised.

      In June 2002, an officer of the Registrant was granted options to purchase
150,000 shares of its common stock, at an exercise price of $2.50 per share.
These options have not been exercised.

      The sale and issuance of securities in the above transactions were deemed
to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 by virtue of
Section 4(2) or Rule 701 thereof, as transactions by an issuer not involving a
public offering under the Securities Act of 1933. Appropriate legends have been
or will be affixed to the certificates issued in such transactions.

ITEM 17: UNDERTAKINGS

      The following undertakings correspond to the specified paragraph
designation from Item 512 of Regulation S-K.



                                      II-4

      (a) Equity offering of nonreporting registrant. The undersigned Registrant
hereby undertakes to provide to the underwriter at the closing specified in the
underwriting agreements, certificates in such denominations and registered in
such names as required by the underwriters to permit prompt delivery to each
purchaser.

      (b) Acceleration of effectiveness. 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
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 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.

      (c) Rule 430A. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:

            (1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities
Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part
of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a
form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or
497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration
statement as of the time it was declared effective.

            (2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of
prospectus 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.


                                      II-5

                                   SIGNATURES

      Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant
has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the
undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Parsippany, and State of
New Jersey, on the thirty-first day of March, 2004.
