Exhibit 17-1
Accuraphoto USA (AUSA) owns the "Accuraphoto" trademark in the United States.
AUSA produces the "SureShot" camera, which is known to consumers as a moderately
priced quality product. AUSA entered into a contract with Honshu Photographic, Inc.
(HPI), a Japanese corporation. Pursuant to the terms of the contract, HPI was permitted
to manufacture and market "SureShot" cameras utilizing the "Accuraphoto" trademark
in return for payment of royalties based upon a percentage of HPI's sales. After
producing "SureShot" cameras for a short time at its Japanese facility, HPI moved
production to its facility in the Philippines in order to reduce labor costs. The cameras
produced at the Philippine facility utilized the "Accuraphoto" trademark but were
marketed under the name "SharpShot." Additionally, these cameras contained improved
electronic features incorporated into the product by HPI engineers. Despite the
inclusion of these improvements, "SharpShot" cameras proved to be of inferior quality.
Furthermore, "SharpShot" cameras have begun to show up on the shelves of U.S.

cameras have been sent by American consumers to AUSA's American facilities for
repair. Finally, HPI has refused to share access with AUSA to the electronic
improvements incorporated into the "SharpShot" on the basis that they are confidential
proprietary information.
