YARC, aha someone's been on the phone :-)) CAMARILLO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 7, 1999--In response to numerous investor requests, YARC Systems Corp. (OTCBB:YARC - news) today revealed details of the LINUX Color Server technology it has developed for the Digital Imaging industry. Three years ago, in 1996, at a time when few had even heard of the LINUX Operating System, YARC decided to switch its Color Server development efforts to LINUX. By December of that year the product had developed sufficiently for it to be demonstrated to the public during an exhibition at Tokyo's Makuhari Convention Center. YARC was the first company in the Digital Imaging community to adopt LINUX, and YARC has been steadily accumulating expertise, not only with the software needed to connect the servers to the Internet, but also with improved manufacturing methodologies. Two days ago YARC announced its ongoing merger and acquisition strategy. LINUX is a critical element of that strategy. YARC intends to identify those companies in its industry who have good revenues and whose bottom line can be quickly improved by the injection of YARC's technical expertise. YARC expects to make further announcements on this issue within the next few days. Technical Details: The version of LINUX that YARC has chosen is similar to Red Hat (Nasdaq:RHAT - news) LINUX, but it has unique features that are especially useful in embedded systems and Color Servers. ''LINUX gives our servers better reliability than any other operating system,'' commented Dr. Trevor Marshall, YARC's Chairman and CEO. ''We recently found a YARC Color Server which had been connected to the Internet for 9 months without being rebooted once!'' Each YARC Color Server has a built-in APACHE Web server. APACHE is the Web server software currently in use at over 50% of all Internet Web sites. Although the use of APACHE may seem overkill in an office environment, the features it provides, such as the delivery of Dynamic Content, are a critical component of YARC's successful transition to an Internet delivery model for the printshop of the future. Dynamic Content allows every HTML page produced by the server to be unique, customized for both the browser and the user that has requested it. One YARC LINUX server can thus support users operating in multiple languages. For example, one user can select the French language menus at the same time that another user is operating the same server with English language dialogs. This multi-language capability is critical to success in the Internet environment, which is, by its very nature, without national borders. It is built into every color server that YARC ships. YARC is the only Color Server manufacturer which can provide complete remote technical assistance and problem diagnosis over the Internet. (see press release dated 11 Jan 1999 at yarc.com ) YARC has placed one of its own Color Servers onto the Internet at yarcxp.com so that the industry can evaluate the manner in which the Dynamic Page Content served by APACHE easily integrates into a Printing Industry workflow. Some system functions are protected with passwords, but much of the server's functionality is available for evaluation by the public. About YARC ( yarc.com ) YARC has developed proprietary LINUX software that integrates Printing technologies with the Internet and Internet Browsers. YARC's proprietary version of Adobe Systems' ''PostScript'' Printer Description Language (PDL) is used to transfer images from a computer, over a network such as the Internet, to a printing engine. Any computer image, whether it comes from a digital camera, a scanner, or a professional paste-up, can be printed onto paper using YARC's RIPs for desktop printers, color copiers, or the wide format printers that make POS display signage. YARC's E-Commerce Server is at secureshop.yarcrip.com. At this date YARC Systems has 20,448,021 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, 23,327,087 million on a fully diluted basis. The number of shares in the public float is just over 12 million. YARC Officers and Management own 34% of the issued and outstanding common stock. The above totals include the shares being used to acquire Quality Photographic Imaging. There have been delays in the filing of this merger with the State of California brought about by incorrect processing of the 1987 merger that created QPI.
