	The transaction is subject to execution of a definitive
agreement, approval by the shareholders of both companies and
satisfaction of routine SEC requirements.  It is expected to be
completed in early May.  At that time Imagen would be operated
as a wholly-owned subsidiary.
	Imagen vice president of sales and marketing, Franklin J.
