THE COMPANY AND THE BRAND
Starting from August 3rd 2005, InSiPhil (Singapore) Pte. Ltd. www.insiphil.com is the new owner of Telesensory's range of electronic and computer-based products for assisting people with low vision. For over three decades, Telesensory products have been helping visually impaired and blind people achieve greater independence through innovative, technology-based products. InSiPhil's strong management team is dedicated to providing superior products and continually exceeding customer expectations.

InSiPhil is an international group with companies in Singapore, Malaysia and the USA. The corporate office in Singapore includes the company's product development, sales and marketing departments. Manufacturing is done entirely at our own site in Senai, Johor, Malaysia and we operate a Service and Repair Center in Sunnyvale, California, USA. Through a wide network of companies and distributors, Telesensory products are available in 50 countries worldwide. In the United States, products are sold by more than 100 distributors, dealers, and resellers who provide personalized customer support throughout the country.

THE MARKET
More than four million people in the United States, over eleven million in the European Economic Community, and many more worldwide, are visually impaired to the point where eyeglasses are not sufficient to enable them to meet a large portion of their visual needs. Many are seniors whose eyesight has begun to diminish due to macular degeneration. The number of seniors -people over 65- increased by 22 percent between 1980 and 1990, to about 13 percent of the population in North America. The number of people who could potentially benefit from Telesensory's low vision products is expected to continue to increase as America's population ages.

PRODUCT HISTORY
Telesensory was born out of the desire to help a blind girl read. In 1970, four members of the prestigious American Stanford University electrical engineering department led by Professor John Linvill developed the technology that was to become the Optacon, a portable electronic print-reading device, the company's first product, in an effort to assist Professor Linvill's vision impaired daughter.

Today, Telesensory is the legacy of a number of pioneers in the adaptive devices industry, starting with Telesensory itself, Visualtek and Apollo Lasers in the early 1970s, and Kurzweil Computer Products in 1975.
