EACH PROSPECTIVE INVESTOR IS URGED TO READ THIS PROSPECTUS IN ITS ENTIRETY. UNLESS OTHERWISE INDICATED, THE INFORMATION IN THIS PROSPECTUS DOES NOT GIVE EFFECT TO THE EXERCISE OF THE UNDERWRITER'S OVER-ALLOTMENT OPTION, THE UNIT PURCHASE OPTION AND THE WARRANTS. THE COMPANY BUSINESS OBJECTIVE Unity First Acquisition Corp. ("Company") was formed on May 30, 1996 to serve as a vehicle to effect a merger, exchange of capital stock, asset acquisition or other similar business combination (a "Business Combination") with an operating business (a "Target Business") which the Company believes has significant growth potential. The Company intends to utilize cash (to be derived from the proceeds of this offering), equity, debt or a combination thereof in effecting a Business Combination. The Company's efforts in identifying a prospective Target Business will be limited to the following industries: (i) the manufacture of analytical and controlling equipment, chemicals and allied products, electronic equipment and medical instrumentation; (ii) health services (including HMOs, laboratories and nursing homes); (iii) environmental services and products; (iv) engineering and construction; (v) wholesale and retail distribution (including discount operations) of home furnishings, office supplies, computers and related products, medical equipment and supplies, apparel and accessories, automotive parts and supplies and food and beverage products; (vi) internet and other new media products and services; and (vii) communications and entertainment ("Target Industries"). While the Company may, under certain circumstances, seek to effect Business Combinations with more than one Target Business, its initial Business Combination must be with a Target Business whose fair market value is at least equal to 80% of the net assets of the Company at the time of such acquisition. Consequently, it is likely that the Company will have the ability to effect only a single Business Combination. PRIOR INVOLVEMENT OF PRINCIPALS IN "BLANK CHECK" COMPANIES The officers and directors of the Company (other than Mr. Norman Leben) have held similar positions in seven other "blank 5 check" companies (i.e, a development stage company that has no specific business plan or has indicated that its business plan is to engage in a merger or acquisition with an unidentified company), each of which has consummated a Business Combination as of the date of this Prospectus. Certain information with respect to each such Business Combination is set forth below: TRADING DATE OF MARKET AND NAME OF TARGET BUSINESS TICKER BUSINESS COMBINATION NATURE OF BUSINESS SYMBOL - -------------- ----------- ------------------ ------ Bloc Development March 1988 Software development NYSE Corp.(1) (GML) Polyvision April 1990 Manufacture and AMEX (PLI) Corporation sale of vision projec- tion systems, architectural building panels, modular partitions and catalog office products T-HQ Inc. August 1991 Design and market- OTC Bulletin ing of Nintendo and Board (TOYH) SEGA games SubMicron Systems August 1993 Semi-conductor capital NASDAQ-NMS equipment manufacturer (SUBM) Alliance November 1993 Distributor of pre- NYSE Entertainment Corp. recorded music, (CDS) accessories and entertainment related products USCI Inc. May 1995 Centralized auto- NASDAQ-NMS mated computer- (USCM) based cellular telephone activation systems Brazil Fast Food Corp. March 1996 Owner and operator NASDAQ of hamburger fast food SmallCap restaurants (BOBS) in Brazil - -------------------- (1) Bloc Development Corp. was acquired by Global Direct Mail Corp. in 1995. 6 There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to effect a Business Combination or that the type of business or the performance of the Target Business, if any, will be similar to that of these other "blank check" companies. See "Management." OFFERING PROCEEDS HELD IN TRUST The proceeds of this offering, after payment of underwriting discounts and the Underwriter's non-accountable expense allowance, will be $6,675,000 ($7,676,250 if the Underwriter's over-allotment option is exercised in full). Ninety percent (90%) of such amount, or $6,007,500 ($6,908,625 if the Underwriter's over-allotment option is exercised in full), will be placed in a trust account (the "Trust Fund"), and invested in United States government securities. The Trust Fund will not be released until the earlier of the consummation of a Business Combination or the liquidation of the Company, which may not occur until 24 months from the consummation of this offering. Therefore, unless and until a Business Combination is consummated, the proceeds held in the Trust Fund will not be available for use by the Company for anyincur expenses related to this offering or expenses which may be incurred by the Company related to the investigation and selection of a Target Business and the negotiation of an agreement to acquire a Target Business. Such expenses may be paid from the net proceeds not held in the Trust Fund (approximately $667,500 or $767,625 if the Underwriter's over-allotment option is exercised in full). See "Use of Proceeds." FAIR MARKET VALUE OF TARGET BUSINESS The Company will not acquire a Target Business unless the fair market value of such business, as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company based upon standards generally accepted by the financial community, such as actual and potential sales, earnings and cash flow and book value ("Fair Market Value"), is at least 80% of the net assets of the Company at the time of such acquisition. If the Board of Directors is not able to independently determine that the Target Business has a sufficient Fair Market Value, the Company will obtain an opinion from an unaffiliated, independent investment banking firm which is a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD") with respect to the satisfaction of such criteria. Since any opinion, if obtained, would merely state that Fair Market Value meets the 80% of net assets threshold, it is not anticipated that copies of such opinion would be distributed to stockholders of the Company, although copies will be provided to stockholders who request it. The Company will not be required to obtain an opinion from an investment banking firm as to Fair Market Value if the Board of Directors determines that the Target Business does have sufficient Fair Market Value. 7 STOCKHOLDER APPROVAL OF BUSINESS COMBINATION The Company, after signing a definitive agreement for the acquisition of a Target Business, but prior to the consummation of any Business Combination, will submit such transaction to the Company's stockholders for their approval, even if the nature of the acquisition is such as would not ordinarily require stockholder approval under applicable state law. All of the Company's stockholders prior to this offering ("Initial Stockholders"), including all of the officers and directors of the Company, have agreed to vote their respective shares of Common Stock owned by them immediately prior to this offering in accordance with the vote of the majority of all the other shares of Common Stock ("Public Shares") voted on any Business Combination. The holders of the Public Shares will be referred to herein as the "Public Stockholders." The Initial Stockholders shall be deemed to be "Public Stockholders" with respect to any Public Shares they acquire. The Company will proceed with the Business Combination only if the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock vote in favor of the Business Combination and less than 20% in interest of the Public Stockholders exercise their conversion rights described below. CONVERSION RIGHTS At the time the Company seeks stockholder approval of any Business Combination, the Company will offer each Public Stockholder the right to have his shares of Common Stock converted to cash if such stockholder votes against the Business Combination and the Business Combination is approved and consummated. The per-share conversion price will be equal to the amount in the Trust Fund (inclusive of any interest thereon) as of the record date for determination of stockholders entitled to vote on such Business Combination, divided by the number of Public Shares. Without taking into account interest, if any, earned on the Trust Fund, the per-share conversion price would be $4.81, or $1.19 less than the per-Unit offering price of $6.00. There will be no distribution from the Trust Fund with respect to the Warrants included in the Units. A Public Stockholder may request conversion of his shares at any time prior to the vote taken with respect to a proposed Business Combination at a meeting held for that purpose, but such request will not be granted unless such stockholder votes against the Business Combination and the Business Combination is approved and consummated. It is anticipated that the funds to be distributed to the Public Stockholders who have their shares converted will be distributed promptly after consummation of a Business Combination. The Initial Stockholders will not have any conversion rights with respect to the shares of Common Stock owned by them immediately prior to this offering. The Company will not consummate any Business Combination if 20% or more in interest of the Public Stockholders exercise their conversion rights. 8 ESCROW OF PRINCIPALS' SECURITIES The shares of the Company's Common Stock owned as of the date hereof by all of the executive officers and directors of the Company and their respective affiliates (excluding, however, their respective spouses and adult children) and by all persons owning 5% or more of the currently outstanding shares of Common Stock (collectively, the "Affiliated Initial Stockholders"), representing in the aggregate approximately 49.8% of the outstanding Common Stock as of the date hereof, will be placed in escrow with American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as escrow agent (the "Escrow Agent"), until the earlier of (i) six months following the consummation of a Business Combination or (ii) the liquidation of the Company. During such escrow period, such persons will not be able to sell their respective shares of Common Stock, but will retain all other rights as stockholders of the Company, including, without limitation, the right to vote such shares of Common Stock. In addition, the Directors' Warrants (as hereinafter defined) will also be deposited with the Escrow Agent, to be released only upon the consummation of a Business Combination. Upon liquidation of the Company, the shares will be cancelled. All other Initial Stockholders ("Non-Affiliated Initial Stockholders") have agreed not to sell their respective shares of Common Stock until the occurrence of a Business Combination. LIQUIDATION IF NO BUSINESS COMBINATION In the event that the Company does not consummate a Business Combination within 18 months from the consummation of this offering, or 24 months from the consummation of this offering if the "Extension Criteria" described below have been satisfied, the Company will be dissolved and will distribute to all Public Stockholders in proportion to their respective equity interests in the Company, an aggregate sum equal to the amount in the Trust Fund, inclusive of any interest thereon, plus any remaining net assets of the Company. The Initial Stockholders have waived their respective rights to participate in any liquidation distribution with respect to the shares of Common Stock owned by them immediately prior to this offering. If the Company were to expend all of the net proceeds of this offering, other than the proceeds deposited in the Trust Fund, and without taking into account interest, if any, earned on the Trust Fund, the per-share liquidation price would be $4.81 or $1.19 less than the per-Unit offering price of $6.00. The proceeds deposited in the Trust Fund could, however, become subject to the claims of creditors of the Company which could be prior to the claims of stockholders of the Company. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the per-share liquidation price will not be less than $4.81, plus interest. There will be no distribution from the Trust Fund with respect to the Warrants included in the Units. Notwithstanding the Company's commitment to liquidate if it is unable to effect a Business Combination within 18 months from the consummation of this offering, if the Company enters into either a letter of intent, an agreement in principle or a definitive agreement to effectuate a Business Combination prior to the expiration of such 18-month period, but is unable to 9 consummate such Business Combination within such 18-month period ("Extension Criteria"), then the Company will have an additional six months in which to consummate that Business Combination contemplated by such letter of intent or definitive agreement, as applicable. If the Company is unable to do so by the expiration of the 24-month period from the consummation of this offering, it will then liquidate. Upon notice from the Company, the trustee of the Trust Fund will commence liquidating the investments constituting the Trust Fund and will turn over the proceeds to the transfer agent for the Common Stock for distribution to the Public Stockholders. The Company anticipates that its instruction to the Trustee would be given promptly after the expiration of the applicable 18-month or 24-month period. A Public Stockholder shall be entitled to receive funds from the Trust Fund only in the event of a liquidation of the Company or if he seeks to convert his shares into cash in connection with a Business Combination which he voted against and which is actually consummated by the Company. In no other circumstances shall a Public Stockholder have any right or interest of any kind to or in the Trust Fund.

SUMMARY FINANCIAL INFORMATION The following data have been derivedsummary highlights selected information from this prospectus and may not contain all the information that is important to you. To understand our business and this offering fully, you should read this entire prospectus carefully, including the Risk Factors and the financial statements of the Company and should be read in conjunction with those statements, which are included in this Prospectus. The "As Adjusted" financial information givesaccompanying notes. Unless otherwise indicated, all share and per share amounts give effect to our merger on July 12, 1999 with GraphOn Corporation, a California corporation. Our Business We develop, market, sell and support server-based software for the issuance ofenterprise computing environment. Server-based computing, sometimes referred to as thin-client computing, is a computing model where traditional desktop software applications are relocated to run entirely on a server or host computer. Our technology uses a small software program at each desktop, which allows the securities in this offeringuser to interface with an application as if it were running on the user's desktop computer. This centralized deployment and management of applications reduces the complexity and total costs associated with enterprise computing. In addition, the ability to access such applications over the Internet creates new operational models and sales channels. We provide the technology to access applications over the Internet. Our server-based technology works on today's most powerful personal computer or low-end network computer, without application rewrites or changes to the corporate computing infrastructure. We have established strategic alliances with technology leaders such as Sun Microsystems, Compuware and Corel, who have licensed our technology. Using our technology, Sun Microsystems provides its network computers access to UNIX applications. Compuware has expressed its intention to use our technology to provide access over the Internet to applications built with its UNIFACE product. Corel currently plans to use our technology to provide access to some of its applications, such as WordPerfect(TM), over the Internet. We are headquartered in Campbell, California with offices in Bellevue, Washington, Concord, New Hampshire, and Reading, United Kingdom.

RECENTLY ORGANIZED COMPANY; LIMITED RESOURCES; NO PRESENT SOURCE OF REVENUES 14 The Company,industry significantly different from that in which was organized on May 30, 1996 and is in the development stage, has not as yet attempted to seek a Business Combination. Although the Company's President and two of its three other directors have had prior experience relating to the identification, evaluation and acquisition of a Target Business, the Company has no such experience and, accordingly, there is only a limited basis upon which to evaluate the Company's prospects for achieving its intended business objectives. To date, the Company's efforts have been limited primarily to organizational activities and this offering. The Company has limited resources and has had no revenues to date. In addition, the Company will not achieve any revenues (other than interest income upon the proceeds of this offering) until, at the earliest, the consummation of a Business Combination. Moreover, there can be no assurance that any Target Business, at the time of the Company's consummation of a Business Combination, or at any time thereafter, will derive any material revenues from its operations or operate on a profitable basis.we presently do business. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations." MODIFIED REPORT6 RISK FACTORS Before you invest in our common stock, you should be aware that there are various risks, including those described below. You should carefully consider these risk factors together with all other information included in this prospectus, before you decide whether or not to purchase our shares. We recently changed our corporate strategy and have a limited history operating under our current business model Although we were founded in 1982, we have a relatively brief operating history as a provider of server-based software. We changed our strategic focus in early 1996 from manufacturing and selling computer terminal hardware to developing server-based software. This change in strategic focus required us to make changes to our business processes and to make a number of significant personnel changes, including changes and additions to our engineering and management teams. As a result of our relatively brief operating history as a provider of server-based software, you must consider the risks and difficulties frequently encountered by early stage companies in new and rapidly evolving markets. These risks include our: . substantial dependence on products with only limited market acceptance; . need to expand our sales and support organizations; . competition with established and emerging companies; . need to manage changing operations; . reliance upon strategic relationships; and . dependence upon key personnel. We also depend to a significant degree on the continued growing use of the Internet for commerce and communication. We cannot be certain that our business strategy will be successful or that we will successfully address these risks. We have a history of operating losses and we expect these losses to continue and to increase, at least for the near future We have experienced significant losses since we began operations. We expect to continue to incur significant losses for the foreseeable future. We incurred net losses of approximately 7 $5,630,500 and $2,148,500 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and for the year ended December 31, 1998. We expect our expenses to increase as we expand our business but we cannot assure you that our revenues will increase as a result of increased spending. If revenues grow more slowly than anticipated, or if operating expenses exceed expectations, we may not become profitable. Even if we become profitable, we may be unable to sustain profitability. Our operating results in one or more future periods are likely to fluctuate significantly and may fail to meet or exceed the expectations of securities analysts or investors Our operating results are likely to fluctuate significantly in the future on a quarterly and on an annual basis due to a number of factors, many of which are outside our control. Factors that could cause our revenues to fluctuate include the following: . the degree of success of our recently introduced products; . variations in the timing of and shipments of our products; . variations in the size of orders by our customers; . increased competition; . the proportion of overall revenues derived from different sales channels such as distributors, OEMs and others; . changes in our pricing policies or those of our competitors; . the financial stability of major customers; . new product introductions or enhancements by us or by competitors; . delays in the introduction of products or product enhancements by us or by competitors; . the degree of success of new products; . any changes in operating expenses; and . general economic conditions and economic conditions specific to the software industry. 8 In addition, our royalty and license revenues are impacted by fluctuations in OEM licensing activity from quarter to quarter which may involve one-time royalty payments and license fees. Our expense levels are based, in part, on expected future orders and sales. Therefore, if orders and sales levels are below expectations, our operating results are likely to be materially adversely affected. Additionally, because a significant portion of our expenses are fixed, a reduction in sales levels may disproportionately affect our net income. Also, we may reduce prices or increase spending in response to competition or to pursue new market opportunities. Because of these factors, our operating results in one or more future periods may fail to meet or exceed the expectations of securities analysts or investors. In that event, the trading price of our common stock would likely decline. Our failure to adequately protect our proprietary rights may adversely affect us Our commercial success is dependent, in large part, upon our ability to protect our proprietary rights. We rely on a combination of patent, copyright and trademark laws, and on trade secrets and confidentiality provisions and other contractual provisions to protect our proprietary rights. These measures afford only limited protection. We cannot assure you that measures we have taken will be adequate to protect us from misappropriation or infringement of our intellectual property. We license essential components of our core technology from one party to whom we pay royalties, although we hold an option, which is exercisable in the year 2001, to purchase the technology under such license. This license may be terminated upon material breach of the agreement, and if it is terminated our business will be harmed. Despite our efforts to protect proprietary rights, it may be possible for unauthorized third parties to copy aspects of our products or obtain and use information that we regard as proprietary. In addition, the laws of some foreign countries do not protect our intellectual property rights as fully as do the laws of the United States. Furthermore, we cannot assure you that the existence of any proprietary rights will prevent the development of competitive products. The infringement upon or loss of any proprietary rights, or the development of competitive products despite such proprietary rights, could have a material adverse effect on our business. We face risks of claims from third parties for intellectual property infringement that could adversely affect our business At any time, we may receive communications from third parties asserting that features or content of our products may infringe upon their intellectual property rights. Any such claims, with or without merit, and regardless of their outcome, may be time consuming and costly to defend. We may not have sufficient resources to defend such claims and they could divert management's attention and resources, cause product shipment delays or require us to enter into 9 new royalty or licensing agreements. New royalty or licensing agreements may not be available on beneficial terms, and may not be available at all. If a successful infringement claim is brought against us and we fail to license the infringed or similar technology, our business could be materially adversely affected. Our business significantly benefits from strategic relationships and there can be no assurance that such relationships will continue in the future Our business and strategy relies to a significant extent on our strategic relationships with other companies. There is no assurance that we will be able to maintain or develop any of these relationships or to replace them in the event any of these relationships are terminated. In addition, any failure to renew or extend any licenses between us and any third party may adversely affect our business. Because our market is new and emerging, we cannot accurately predict its future growth rate or its ultimate size, and widespread acceptance of our products is uncertain The market for server-based software, which enables programs to be accessed and run with minimal memory resident on a desktop computer or remote user device, still is emerging, and we cannot assure you that our products will receive broad-based market acceptance or that this market will continue to grow. Additionally, we cannot accurately predict our market's future growth rate or its ultimate size. Even if server-based software products achieve market acceptance and the market for these products grows, we cannot assure you that we will have a significant share of that market. If we fail to achieve a significant share of the server-based software market or if such market does not grow as anticipated, our business, results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected. We may need additional capital in the future and may not be able to secure adequate funds on terms acceptable to us In the future, we may need to raise additional funds to meet our obligations, cover operating expenses, pursue business strategies, respond to financial, technological or marketing hurdles or take advantage of new opportunities. However, we cannot assure you that any additional funds required will be available at the time or times needed, or available on terms acceptable to us. If adequate funds are not available, or are not available on acceptable terms, we may not be able to meet our obligations, pursue business strategies, take advantage of market opportunities, develop new products or otherwise respond to competitive pressures. Such inability could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. 10 We rely on indirect distribution channels for our products and may not be able to retain existing reseller relationships or to develop new reseller relationships Our products primarily are sold through several distribution channels. An integral part of our strategy is to strengthen our relationships with resellers such as value-added resellers, distributors, OEMs, systems integrators and other vendors to encourage these parties to recommend or distribute our products and to add resellers both domestically and internationally. We currently invest in and intend to continue to invest significant resources to expand our sales and marketing capabilities. We cannot assure you that we will be able to attract and/or retain resellers to market our products effectively. Our inability to attract resellers and the loss of any current reseller relationships could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Additionally, we cannot assure you that resellers will devote enough resources to provide effective sales and marketing support to our products. Our future success will depend in part upon our ability to enhance our existing products and to develop and introduce, on a timely basis, new products and features that meet changing customer requirements and emerging industry standards The server-based software market still is emerging and characterized by rapid technological change, evolving industry standards, changes in end-user requirements and frequent new product introductions and enhancements. The introduction of new technological products and the emergence of new industry standards could render our products obsolete and unmarketable. From time to time, we may develop new products, capabilities or technologies that have the potential to replace or shorten the life cycle of our existing products. Additionally, we cannot assure you that announcements of currently planned or newly introduced product offerings will not cause customers to defer purchasing our existing products. In addition, we cannot assure you that we will be able to develop products that keep pace with new technology, or that new technology will not obviate the need for our products. If any new or enhanced technology gains widespread acceptance and we fail to develop and provide compatible products on a timely basis, our competitive position, business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected. Our future success depends in large part upon: . our ability to enhance our current products; . our ability to develop and successfully introduce new products that keep pace with technological developments; and . our ability to respond to evolving end-user requirements. 11 We cannot assure you that we will successfully develop and market new products or product enhancements on a timely basis, or that new products or product enhancements we develop will achieve market acceptance. We filed for bankruptcy on November 15, 1991 and may be required to pay up to $2.23 million and interest, if any, to creditors. On November 15, 1991, we filed for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code and, later, submitted a Debtor's Proposed Amended Plan of Reorganization. The plan was confirmed by order of the bankruptcy court on July 11, 1994 and the court established a plan of payment for the benefit of our creditors. Under the bankruptcy court order, we established a disbursement account into which 50% of the ongoing terminal royalties we receive from OEMs with whom we had a current relationship must be deposited to pay named creditors. See "Business -- Corporate History" for a more complete description of these OEMs. For all but one unsecured creditor, payments from the disbursement account were ordered to continue up to the earlier of: . the limit of our liability to each unsecured creditor or . through the year 2000. However, the largest unsecured creditor's claim, which currently totals approximately $964,000, must be paid from available funds, if any, in the disbursement account until such amount is fully paid. Our potential total remaining liability under the bankruptcy, as of September 30, 1999, is limited to the lesser of: . approximately $2,230,000 or . 50% of future ongoing terminal royalties we receive from the OEMs. To date, only royalties received pursuant to some of our license agreements existing at the time of the bankruptcy have been deposited into the disbursement account, and we have not deposited into such account or paid creditors out of royalties received or currently received on our subsequently developed and licensed server-based technology. We believe that our royalty payment obligations under the bankruptcy court order relate only to licenses in place as of July 11, 1994, and no payments to creditors have been made since November 14, 1997. We cannot assure you that a court will not interpret our obligation to include payments to the disbursement account from royalties earned from subsequent licenses of the server-based technology or licenses that we secure in the future, or that our current technology will not be deemed derivative of our technology existing at July 11, 1994. Consequently, we cannot assure you that we will not be required to repay creditors referenced in the bankruptcy proceedings the full amount of our liability, which is approximately $2,230,000, and interest on any payments 12 that a court deems to be owed based upon a ruling that our interpretation is wrong. In addition, we cannot guarantee you that a creditor will not assert a claim for payment out of the royalties from subsequent licenses of the server- based technology. Such claims could be costly and time-consuming for us. If any of these events takes place, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. See Note 6 to our Financial Statements. Our failure to manage expanding operations could adversely affect us To exploit the emerging server-based software market, we must rapidly execute our business strategy and further develop products while managing our anticipated growth in operations. To manage our growth, we must: . continue to implement and improve our operational, financial and management information systems; . hire and train additional qualified personnel; . continue to expand and upgrade core technologies; and . effectively manage multiple relationships with various licensees, consultants, strategic and technological partners and other third parties. We cannot assure you that our systems, procedures, personnel or controls will be adequate to support our operations or that management will be able to execute strategies rapidly enough to exploit the market for our products and services. Our failure to manage growth effectively or execute strategies rapidly could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Competition for key management and other personnel in our industry is intense, and we may not be successful in attracting and retaining these personnel Our success and business strategy is dependent in large part on our ability to attract and retain key management and other personnel. Such individuals are in high demand and often have competing employment offers. In particular, our success depends on our ability to retain the services of Mr. Walter Keller, our President and Ms. Robin Ford, our Executive Vice President, Marketing and Sales. We have entered into employment agreements with these individuals that each contain non-competition and confidentiality covenants. We currently anticipate the need to attract additional sales, marketing, financial and software engineer personnel in the near future. Competition for such personnel in the computer software and services industry is intense, 13 and therefore, we cannot assure you we will be able to attract or retain such personnel. The loss of the services of one or more members of our management group or the inability to retain or hire additional personnel as needed may have a material adverse effect on our business. Our planned expansion into international markets makes us susceptible to risks from international operations As part of our long term strategy we intend to address the global needs of our customers and expand our business to commit resources to international market expansion. In order to execute this strategy, we will need to hire and train additional personnel and recruit additional international resellers to successfully expand our international sales. We cannot assure you that we will be able to increase or maintain international sales of our products or that international reseller channels will be willing or able to adequately service and support our products. Our international operations will be subject to a number of risks including: . difficulties in staffing and managing foreign operations; . variability of foreign economic conditions and changing restrictions imposed by United States export laws; . unexpected changes in regulatory requirements; . tariffs and other trade barriers; . lack of acceptance of products in foreign countries; . the burdens of complying with a wide variety of foreign laws; and . foreign restrictions on the transfer of currency and variability of foreign currency exchange rates. We cannot assure you that these factors will not have a material adverse effect on our future international sales and, consequently, our business, results of operations and financial condition. 14 The market in which we participate is highly competitive and has more established competitors The market we participate in is intensely competitive, rapidly evolving and subject to technological changes. We expect competition to increase as other companies introduce additional competitive products. In order to compete effectively, we must continually develop and market new and enhanced products and market those products at competitive prices. As markets for our products continue to develop, additional companies, including companies in the computer hardware, software and networking industries with significant market presence, may enter the markets in which we compete and further intensify competition. A number of our current and potential competitors have longer operating histories, greater name recognition and significantly greater financial, sales, technical, marketing and other resources than we do. We cannot assure you that our competitors will not develop and market competitive products that will offer superior price or performance features or that new competitors will not enter our markets and offer such products. We believe that we will need to invest increasing financial resources in research and development to remain competitive in the future. Such financial resources may not be available to us at the time or times that we need them or upon terms acceptable to us. We cannot assure you that we will be able to establish and maintain a significant market position in the face of our competition and our failure to do so would adversely affect our business. We are subject to risk of undetected errors which could substantially reduce the effectiveness of our products and adversely affect us Our complex software products may contain undetected errors or failures when first introduced or as new versions are released. We cannot assure you that errors will not be found in our products after commencement of commercial shipments. In addition, third-party products that our products depend upon, including current and future versions of operating systems and application programs provided by companies such as Sun Microsystems, IBM and Microsoft, may contain defects which could reduce the performance of our products or render them useless. Because we do not develop our own application programs and depend upon third party applications, errors in any application utilized by our customers could adversely impact the marketability of our products. Similarly, we cannot assure you that errors or defects in our products will not be discovered, causing delays in product introductions and shipments or requiring design modifications that could adversely affect our reputation, competitive position, business, results of operations and financial condition. Our management are able to exert significant control over us Our executive officers, directors and their affiliates own or have voting control over approximately 38.47% of the outstanding shares of common stock. As a result, if they act as a 15 group, the executive officers and directors may exercise significant influence over such matters as amendments to our charter and fundamental corporate transactions such as mergers, asset sales and our sale. In addition, they will be able to influence the direction of our business and the election of members to the board of directors. We have agreed to contractual provisions that could discourage acquisition bids A number of our agreements contain express provisions that do not allow us to assign them without written consent. These provisions could deter third parties from making bids to acquire us. These provisions could also limit the price future investors are willing to pay for shares of our common stock. Our failure to be Year 2000 compliant would negatively impact our business Many currently installed computer systems and software products are coded to accept only two digit entries in the date code field and therefore are not designed to handle any dates beyond the year 1999. These date code fields will need to accept four digit entries to distinguish 21st century dates from 20th century dates. As a result, in a relatively short time, computer systems and/or software used by many companies may need to be upgraded to comply with such year 2000 requirements to remain functional. Significant uncertainty exists in the software industry concerning the potential effects associated with such compliance. Although we currently offer software products that are designed and, in certain circumstances, are warranted to be year 2000 compliant, there can be no assurance that our software products contain all necessary date code changes. In addition, there may be a significant amount of litigation arising out of year 2000 compliance issues. Because of the unprecedented nature of such litigation, it is uncertain whether or to what extent we may be affected by it. We believe that the purchasing patterns of customers and potential customers may be affected by year 2000 issues in a variety of ways. Many companies are expending significant resources to purchase new software or correct their current software systems for year 2000 compliance. These expenditures may result in reduced funds available to purchase our products. In addition, many potential customers may choose to defer purchasing year 2000 compliant products until they believe it is absolutely necessary, thus resulting in potentially stalled market sales within the server-based software industry. Conversely, year 2000 issues may cause other companies to accelerate purchases, causing an increase in short-term demand and a consequent decrease in long-term demand for our year 2000 compliant products. There can be no assurance that year 2000 issues will not affect us in one or more of a number of possible ways, and will not result in a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition. 16 Potential public sales of a significant number of shares of our common stock could reduce the market price of our common stock We cannot predict the effect, if any, that future sales of shares, or the availability of shares for future sale, will have on the market price of our common stock. Sales of substantial amounts of common stock, or the perception that such sales could occur, may adversely affect prevailing market prices for our common stock. As of the date of this prospectus, there are 11,266,302 shares of our common stock outstanding and 5,004,125 shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding options and warrants. Restrictions under the securities laws and lock-up agreements prevent the immediate sale in the public market of 811,723 of such shares of common stock. However, all of these restricted shares will become available for sale on January 12, 2000. No dividends will be paid in the foreseeable future We have never paid cash dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate paying cash dividends for the foreseeable future. We intend to reinvest any funds that might otherwise be available for the payment of dividends in further development of our business. The price of our securities may fluctuate The market price of our securities is likely to be highly volatile as the stock market in general, and the market for technology companies in particular, has been highly volatile. Stockholders may have difficulty selling our common stock following periods of volatility because of the market's adverse reaction to such volatility. Factors which could cause such volatility may include, among others: . conditions or trends in the computer software industry; . changes in the market valuations of other computer software companies; . actual or anticipated variations in quarterly operating results; . announcements of technological innovations; . capital commitments and expenditures; 17 . departures of key employees; and . announcements by us or our competitors of strategic alliances, joint ventures and significant acquisitions. Many of these factors are beyond our control and may materially adversely affect the market price of our common stock, regardless of our future operating results. The trading prices of many technology companies' stocks have reached historical highs within the last 12 months and have reflected valuations substantially above historical levels. During the same period, such companies' stocks have also been highly volatile and have recorded lows well below such historical highs. We cannot assure you that our securities will trade at the same levels of other technology companies or that technology stocks in general will sustain their current levels. Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws could make it difficult for a third party to acquire us Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing an acquisition of us. For example, our board may issue preferred stock without stockholder approval. Additionally, such certificate of incorporation provides for a classified board, with each member having a staggered three year term, prohibits the stockholders from taking action by written consent and limits their ability to call special meetings and make proposals at such meetings. These provisions could make it more difficult for a third party to remove or replace our management or to acquire us. Forward-looking statements found in this prospectus may not be accurate indicators of our future performance This prospectus contains certain forward-looking statements and information relating to our business. We have identified forward-looking statements in this prospectus using words such as "believes," "intends," "expects," "predicts," "may," "will," "should," "contemplates," "anticipates," or similar statements. These statements are based on our beliefs as well as assumptions we made using information currently available to us. Because these statements reflect our current views concerning future events, these statements involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Actual future results may differ significantly from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. 18 PRICE RANGES OF AUDITORSSECURITIES Since August 26, 1999, our common stock, Class A redeemable warrants and Class B redeemable warrants have been quoted on The reportNasdaq SmallCap Market under the symbols GOJO, GOJOW and GOJOZ, respectively.

The above quotations represent prices between dealers and do not include retail markup, markdown or commission. They do not necessarily represent actual transactions. On December 3, 1999, the last reported closing bid prices of our common stock, Class A redeemable warrants and Class B redeemable warrants were $13, $7- 3/4 and $5-7/8. On that date, there were 257 recordholders of our common stock, although we believe that there are other persons who are beneficial owners of shares of our common stock held in street name. 19 SELECTED HISTORICAL FINANCIAL DATA The following selected historical financial data should be read in conjunction with our historical financial statements and the notes thereto beginning on page F-1 of this prospectus.

See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and the Financial Statements of the Company included elsewhere in this Prospectus. POSSIBLE LIQUIDATION OF THE COMPANY; PER-SHARE LIQUIDATION PRICE LESS THAN PUBLIC OFFERING PRICE; WARRANTS EXPIRE WORTHLESS IN EVENT OF LIQUIDATION If the Company does not consummate a Business Combination within 18 months from the consummation of this offering, or 24 months from the consummation of this offering if the Extension Criteria have been satisfied, the Company will be dissolved and will distribute to all Public Stockholders in proportion to their respective equity interests in the Company, an aggregate sum equal to the amount in the Trust Fund, inclusive of any interest thereon, plus any remaining net assets of the Company. It is likely that, in the event of any such liquidation, the per-share liquidation distribution will be less than the initial per-share public offering price (assuming no value is attributed to the Warrants included in the Units offered hereby) as a consequence of the expenses of this offering and the anticipated costs which will be incurred by the Company in seeking a Business Combination. If the Company were to expend all of the net proceeds of this offering not 15 held in the Trust Fund prior to liquidation, and without taking into account interest, if any, earned on the Trust Fund, the per-share liquidation price would be $4.81, or $1.19 less than the per-Unit offering price of $6.00. The proceeds deposited in the Trust Fund could, however, become subject to the claims of creditors of the Company which could be prior to the claims of stockholders of the Company. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the per-share liquidation price will not be less than $4.81, plus interest. There will be no distribution from the Trust Fund with respect to the Warrants included in the Units and, accordingly, the Warrants will expire worthless in the event of a liquidation prior to the consummation of a Business Combination. The Initial Stockholders have waived their respective rights to participate in any liquidation distribution with respect to the shares of Common Stock owned by them immediately prior to this offering. A Public Stockholder shall be entitled to receive funds from the Trust Fund only in the event of a liquidation or in the event he seeks to convert his shares into cash in connection with a Business Combination which he voted against and which is actually consummated by the Company. In no other circumstances shall a Public Stockholder have any right or interest of any kind to and in the Trust Fund. UNSPECIFIED INDUSTRY AND TARGET BUSINESS; UNASCERTAINABLE RISKS To date, the Company has not selected any particular industry from the Target Industries or any Target Business in which to concentrate its search for a Business Combination. Accordingly, there is no current basis for prospective investors to evaluate the possible merits or risks of the Target Business or the particular industry in which the Company may ultimately operate. However, in connection with seeking stockholder approval of a Business Combination, the Company intends to furnish its stockholders with proxy solicitation materials prepared in accordance with the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), which, among other matters, will include a description of the operations of the Target Business and audited historical financial statements thereof. To the extent the Company effects a Business Combination with a financially unstable company or an entity in its early stage of development or growth (including entities without established records of sales or earnings), the Company will become subject to numerous risks inherent in the business operations of financially unstable and early stage or potential emerging growth companies. In addition, to the extent that the Company effects a Business Combination with an entity in an industry characterized by a high level of risk, the Company will become subject to the currently unascertainable risks of that industry. An extremely high level of risk frequently characterizes certain industries which experience rapid growth. Although Management will endeavor 16 to evaluate the risks inherent in a particular Target Business or industry, there can be no assurance that the Company will properly ascertain or assess all such significant risk factors. See "Proposed Business - Blank Check Offering.Operations." DETERMINATION OF FAIR MARKET VALUE The Fair Market Value of the Target Business will be determined by the Board of Directors of the Company, unless the Board of Directors is not able to independently determine that the Target Business has sufficient Fair Market Value. Therefore, the Board of Directors has significant discretion in determining whether a Target Business is suitable for a proposed Business Combination and, since each of the directors of the Company owns shares of the Company's Common Stock which will be released from escrow only if a Business Combination is successfully consummated, the Board of Directors may have a conflict of interest in determining the Fair Market Value of a Target Business. The Board of Directors, however, has a fiduciary duty under the laws of Delaware to act in the best interests of all of the Company's stockholders, particularly when faced with a conflict of interest. See "Management - Conflicts of Interest." UNCERTAIN STRUCTURE OF BUSINESS COMBINATION; REDUCTION IN STOCKHOLDER EQUITY INTEREST The structure of a Business Combination with a Target Business, which may take the form of a merger, exchange of capital stock or asset acquisition, cannot be presently determined since neither the Company's officers or directors nor their respective affiliates have had any preliminary contacts, discussions or understandings with representatives of any potential Target Business regarding the possibility of a Business Combination. The Company may use the funds held in the Trust Fund as part of the consideration for the Business Combination or may issue additional Shares of Common Stock or shares of Preferred Stock, or incur debt, or any combination thereof. In the event the Company issues capital stock, the current equity interest of the stockholders may be significantly reduced. See "Proposed Business - Selection of Target Business and Structuring a Business Combination." DISCRETIONARY USE OF PROCEEDS; ABSENCE OF CURRENT SUBSTANTIVE DISCLOSURE RELATING TO BUSINESS COMBINATIONS The Company's Management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of this offering, although substantially all of the net proceeds of this offering are intended to be generally applied toward effecting a Business Combination, subject to the limitation concerning Target Industries 17 discussed under "The Company - Business Objectives." As of the date of this Prospectus, the Company has not identified a prospective Target Business and, accordingly, investors in this offering do not currently have any substantive information available for consideration of any Business Combination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with seeking stockholder approval of a Business Combination, the Company intends to furnish its stockholders with proxy solicitation materials prepared in accordance with the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Exchange Act") which will include a description of the operations of the Target Business and audited historical financial statements thereof. Such proxy solicitation materials will be filed with, and be subject to the review of, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission"). See "Use of Proceeds" and "Proposed Business - Blank Check Offering." LIMITED ABILITY TO EVALUATE TARGET BUSINESS MANAGEMENT While the Company's ability to successfully effect a Business Combination will be dependent upon the efforts of its officers and directors, the future role of such persons, if any, in the Target Business cannot presently be stated with any certainty. While it is possible that one or more of these persons will remain associated in some capacity with the Company following a Business Combination, it is unlikely that any of them will devote their full efforts to the affairs of the Company subsequent thereto. Moreover, there can be no assurance that such persons will have significant experience or knowledge relating to the operations of the particular Target Business. Furthermore, although the Company intends to closely scrutinize the management of a prospective Target Business in connection with evaluating the desirability of effecting a Business Combination, there can be no assurance that the Company's assessment of such management will prove to be correct, especially in light of the possible inexperience of the Company's officers and directors in evaluating certain types of businesses. In addition, there can be no assurance that such future management will have the necessary skills, qualifications or abilities to manage a public company intending to embark on a program of business development. The Company may also seek to recruit additional managers to supplement the incumbent management of the Target Business. There can be no assurance that the Company will have the ability to recruit such additional managers, or that such additional managers will have the requisite skills, knowledge or experience necessary to enhance the incumbent management. See "Proposed Business - 'Blank Check' Offering." INVESTOR DOES NOT RECEIVE PROTECTION OF CERTAIN RULES PROMULGATED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 18 This offering is not being conducted in accordance with Rule 419, promulgated by the Commission under the Securities Act ("Rule 419"), which regulates securities offerings by "blank check" companies. Since the Company's net tangible assets will be in excess of $5,000,000 upon its receipt of the proceeds of this offering (as supported through audited financial statements), the Company is not subject to Rule 419. Rule 419 requires that the securities to be issued and the funds received in a blank check offering be deposited and held in an escrow account until an acquisition meeting specified criteria is completed. Before the acquisition can be completed and before the funds and securities can be released, the blank check company is required to update its registration statement with a post-effective amendment and, after the effective date thereof, the blank check company is required to furnish investors with a prospectus (which forms a part of the post-effective amendment to its registration statement) containing specified information, including a discussion of the business and the audited financial statements of the proposed acquisition candidate. According to Rule 419, the investors must have no less than 20 and no more than 45 days from the effective date of the post-effective amendment to decide whether to remain an investor or require the return of their investment funds. Any investor not making such decision within such 45-day period is automatically entitled to receive a return of his investment funds. Unless a sufficient number of investors elect to remain investors, all of the deposited funds in the escrow account must be returned to all investors and none of the securities will be issued. Rule 419 further provides that if the blank check company does not complete an acquisition meeting the specified criteria within 18 months, all of the deposited funds must be returned to investors. SEEKING TO ACHIEVE PUBLIC TRADING MARKET THROUGH BUSINESS COMBINATION While a prospective Target Business may deem a Business Combination with the Company desirable for diverse reasons, a Business Combination may involve the acquisition of, or merger with, a company which does not need substantial additional capital but which desires to establish a public trading market for its shares, while avoiding what it may deem to be adverse consequences of undertaking a public offering itself, such as time delays, significant expense, loss of voting control and compliance with various Federal and state securities laws. See the risk factors herein entitled "Unspecified Industry and Target Business; Unascertainable Risks" and "No Assurance of Public Market; Arbitrary Determination of Offering Price." PROBABLE LACK OF BUSINESS DIVERSIFICATION 19 While the Company may, under certain circumstances, seek to effect Business Combinations with more than one Target Business, its initial Business Combination must be with a Target Business which satisfies the Fair Market Value criteria at the time of such acquisition. Consequently, it is likely that the Company will have the ability to effect only a single Business Combination. Accordingly, the prospects for the Company's success will be entirely dependent upon the future performance of a single business. Unlike certain entities which have the resources to consummate several Business Combinations of entities operating in multiple industries or multiple areas of a single industry, it is highly likely that the Company will not have the resources to diversify its operations or benefit from the possible spreading of risks or offsetting of losses. The Company's probable lack of diversification may subject the Company to numerous economic, competitive and regulatory developments, any or all of which may have a substantial adverse impact upon the particular industry in which the Company may operate subsequent to a Business Combination. In addition, by consummating a Business Combination with only a single entity, the prospects for the Company's success may become dependent upon the development or market acceptance of a single or limited number of products, processes or services. Consequently, there can be no assurance that the Target Business will prove to be commercially viable. See "Proposed Business - 'Blank Check' Offering." DEPENDENCE UPON KEY PERSONNEL The ability of the Company to successfully effect a Business Combination will be largely dependent upon the efforts of Lawrence Burstein, the Company's President. The Company has not entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Burstein or obtained any "key man" life insurance on his life. The loss of Mr. Burstein's services could have a material adverse effect on the Company's ability to successfully achieve its business objectives. None of the Company's officers and directors are required to commit their full time to the affairs of the Company. Accordingly, conflicts of interest may arise in the allocation of management time among various business activities. In addition, the success of the Company may be dependent upon its ability to retain additional personnel with specific knowledge or skills who may be necessary to assist the Company in evaluating a potential Business Combination. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to retain such necessary additional personnel. See "Proposed Business - Employees" and "Management - Conflicts of Interest." COMPETITION The Company expects to encounter intense competition from other entities having a business objective similar to that of the 20 Company. Many of these entities are well-established and have extensive experience in connection with identifying and effecting business combinations directly or through affiliates. Many of these competitors possess greater financial, technical, personnel and other resources than the Company and there can be no assurance that the Company will have the ability to compete successfully. The Company's financial resources will be relatively limited when contrasted with those of many of its competitors. This inherent competitive limitation may compel the Company to select certain less attractive Business Combination prospects. See "Proposed Business - Selection of Target Business and Structuring a Business Combination." CONFLICTS OF INTEREST None of the Company's officers and directors are required to commit their full time to the affairs of the Company; therefore, such persons may have conflicts of interest in allocating management time among various business activities. Certain of these persons may in the future become affiliated with entities, including other "blank check" companies, engaged in business activities similar to those intended to be conducted by the Company. Such persons may have conflicts of interest in determining to which entity a particular business opportunity should be presented. In order to reduce potential conflicts of interest, the Company's officers and directors have agreed that they will offer all suitable prospective Target Businesses to the Company before any other company until the earlier of a Business Combination or the liquidation of the Company. In general, officers and directors of a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware are required to present certain business opportunities to such corporation. Accordingly, as a result of multiple business affiliations, certain of the Company's officers and directors may have similar legal obligations to present certain business opportunities to multiple entities. Conflicts of interest may also arise between the Company and Unity Venture Capital Associates Ltd. ("Unity"). Pursuant to a general and administrative services agreement, the Company is obligated to pay Unity a monthly fee of $7,500 for general and administrative services, including the use of approximately 500 square feet of office space in premises occupied by Unity. Mr. Burstein is the President and principal shareholder of Unity. Mr. Leben, as well as John Cattier and Barry Ridings, each a director of the Company, are also shareholders of Unity. Dalessio, Millner & Leben ("DML"), an accounting firm of which Mr. Leben is a partner, affords Unity the use of such space at a monthly rental of $2,000. DML which has performed bookkeeping, tax and accounting services for certain of the "blank check" companies of which Messrs. Burstein, Cattier and Ridings, have been directors and shareholders from their inceptions through the consummation of 21 their respective Business Combinations, is expected to perform similar services for the Company at an aggregate cost of approximately $12,000 per annum. DML may also perform financial "due diligence" services for the Company in connection with its evaluation of prospective Target Businesses for a Business Combination. In addition, Unity has made non-interest demand loans aggregating approximately $40,500 to the Company as of the date of this Prospectus to cover expenses related to this offering. The Company intends to repay these loans, as well as both those accrued general and administrative expenses owed to Unity discussed above, out of the proceeds of this offering. See "Management - Conflicts of Interest" and "Certain Transactions." POSSIBLE NEED FOR ADDITIONAL FINANCING The Company has had no revenues to date and is entirely dependent upon the proceeds of this offering to commence operations relating to selection of a prospective Target Business. The Company will not achieve any revenues (other than interest income derived from investment of the net proceeds of this offering) until, at the earliest, the consummation of a Business Combination. Although the Company believes that the proceeds of this offering will be sufficient to effect a Business Combination, inasmuch as the Company has not yet identified any prospective Target Business candidates, the Company cannot ascertain with any degree of certainty the capital requirements for any particular transaction. In the event that the net proceeds of this offering prove to be insufficient for purposes of effecting a Business Combination (because of the size of the Business Combination or the depletion of the net proceeds in search of a Target Business), the Company will be required to seek additional financing. There can be no assurance that such financing would be available on acceptable terms, if at all. To the extent that such additional financing proves to be unavailable when needed to consummate a particular Business Combination, the Company would, in all likelihood, be compelled to restructure the transaction or abandon that particular Business Combination and seek an alternative Target Business candidate. In addition, in the event of the consummation of a Business Combination, the Company may require additional financing to fund the operations or growth of the Target Business. The failure by the Company to secure such additional financing could have a material adverse effect on the continued development or growth of the Target Business. See "Proposed Business - 'Blank Check' Offering - Selection of a Target Business and Structuring of a Business Combination." RISKS OF LEVERAGE The Company may borrow money to consummate the Business Combination or assume or refinance the indebtedness of the Target 22 Business if the Company's management deems it to be beneficial to the Company. There is no legal limit on the amount of leverage that the Company may incur. Among the possible adverse effects of any such leverage are: (i) if the Company's operating revenues after the Business Combination were insufficient to pay debt services, there would be a risk of default and foreclosure on the Company's assets; (ii) if a loan agreement contains covenants that require the maintenance of certain financial ratios or reserves, and any such covenant is breached without a waiver or renegotiation of the terms of that covenant, then the lender could have the right to accelerate the payment of the indebtedness even if the Company has made all principal and interest payments when due; (iii) if the interest rate on a loan fluctuated or the loan was payable on demand, the Company would bear the risk of variations in the interest rate or demand for payment; and (iv) if the terms of a loan did not provide for amortization prior to maturity of the full amount borrowed and the "balloon" payment could not be refinanced at maturity on acceptable terms, the Company might be required to seek additional financing and, to the extent that additional financing were not available on acceptable terms, to liquidate its assets. See "Proposed Business - - Selection of Target Business and Structuring in Business Combination." AUTHORIZATION OF ADDITIONAL SECURITIES The Company's Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of 20,000,000 shares of Common Stock. Upon completion of this offering (assuming no exercise of the Underwriter's over-allotment option), there will be 14,862,500 authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock available for issuance (after appropriate reservation for the issuance of shares upon full exercise of the Warrants, the Unit Purchase Option and the Directors' Warrants and for future grants under the Company's 1996 Stock Option Plan). The Company's Board of Directors has the power to issue any or all of such authorized but unissued shares without stockholder approval. However, the Underwriting Agreement between the Company and the Underwriter (the "Underwriting Agreement") prohibits the Company from issuing shares of Common Stock prior to a Business Combination other than as described in this Prospectus. Although the Company has no commitments as of the date of this Prospectus to issue any additional shares of Common Stock, the Company will, in all likelihood, issue a substantial number of additional shares in connection with a Business Combination. To the extent that additional shares of Common Stock are issued, dilution to the interests of the Public Stockholders will occur. Additionally, if a substantial number of shares of Common Stock are issued in connection with a Business Combination, a change in control of the Company may occur which may affect, among other things, the Company's ability to utilize its net operating loss carryforwards, if any. Furthermore, the issuance of a substantial number of shares of Common Stock may adversely affect prevailing 23 market prices, if any, for the Common Stock and could impair the Company's ability to raise additional capital through the sale of its equity securities. See "Proposed Business - 'Blank Check' Offering - Selection of a Target Business and Structuring of a Business Combination" and "Description of Securities." The Company's Certificate of Incorporation also authorizes the issuance of 5,000 shares of "blank check" preferred stock ("Preferred Stock") with such designation, rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Board of Directors. Accordingly, the Board of Directors is empowered, without stockholder approval, to issue Preferred Stock with dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting or other rights which could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of the Company's Common Stock, although the Underwriting Agreement prohibits the Company, prior to a Business Combination, from issuing Preferred Stock which participates in any manner in the proceeds of the Trust Fund, or which votes as a class with the Common Stock on a Business Combination. The Company may issue some or all of such shares in connection with a Business Combination. In addition, the Preferred Stock could be utilized, under certain circumstances, as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company. Although the Company does not currently intend to issue any shares of Preferred Stock, there can be no assurance that the Company will not do so in the future. See "Proposed Business - - 'Blank Check' Offering - Selection of a Target Business and Structuring of a Business Combination" and "Description of Securities." INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT CONSIDERATIONS The regulatory scope of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended ("Investment Company Act"), which was enacted principally for the purpose of regulating vehicles for pooled investments in securities, extends generally to companies engaged primarily in the business of investing, reinvesting, owning, holding or trading in securities. The Investment Company Act may, however, also be deemed to be applicable to a company which does not intend to be characterized as an investment company but which, nevertheless, engages in activities which may be deemed to be within the definitional scope of certain provisions of the Investment Company Act. The Company believes that its anticipated principal activities, which will involve acquiring control of an operating company, will not subject the Company to regulation under the Investment Company Act. Nevertheless, there can be no assurance that the Company will not be deemed to be an investment company, especially during the period prior to a Business Combination. In the event the Company is deemed to be an investment company, the Company may become subject to certain restrictions relating to the Company's activities, including restrictions on the nature of its investments and the issuance of securities. In addition, the 24 Investment Company Act imposes certain requirements on companies deemed to be within its regulatory scope, including registration as an investment company, adoption of a specific form of corporate structure and compliance with certain burdensome reporting, recordkeeping, voting, proxy, disclosure and other rules and regulations. In the event of characterization of the Company as an investment company, the failure by the Company to satisfy regulatory requirements, whether on a timely basis or at all, would, under certain circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the Company. See "Proposed Business - Investment Company Act Considerations." TAX CONSIDERATIONS As a general rule, Federal and state tax laws and regulations have a significant impact upon the structuring of business combinations. The Company will evaluate the possible tax consequences of any prospective Business Combination and will endeavor to structure the Business Combination so as to achieve the most favorable tax treatment to the Company, the Target Business and their respective stockholders. There can be no assurance, however, that the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") or appropriate state tax authorities will ultimately assent to the Company's tax treatment of a consummated Business Combination. To the extent the IRS or state tax authorities ultimately prevail in recharacterizing the tax treatment of a Business Combination, there may be adverse tax consequences to the Company, the Target Business and their respective stockholders. See "Proposed Business - 'Blank Check' Offering - Selection of a Target Business and Structuring of a Business Combination." DIVIDENDS UNLIKELY The Company has not paid any dividends on its Common Stock to date and does not intend to pay dividends prior to the consummation of a Business Combination. The payment of dividends after any such Business Combination, if any, will be contingent upon the Company's revenues and earnings, if any, capital requirements and general financial condition subsequent to consummation of a Business Combination. The payment of any dividends subsequent to a Business Combination will be within the discretion of the Company's then Board of Directors. It is the present intention of the Board of Directors to retain all earnings, if any, for use in the Company's business operations and, accordingly, the Board does not anticipate declaring any dividends in the foreseeable future. See "Description of Securities - Dividends." CONTROL BY PRESENT STOCKHOLDERS 25 Upon consummation of this offering, Initial Stockholders, including the present management of the Company, will collectively own approximately 33.3% of the then-issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (assuming no exercise of the Underwriter's over-allotment option). In the election of directors, stockholders are not entitled to cumulate their votes for nominees. Accordingly, it is likely that the Initial Stockholders will be able to elect all of the Company's directors and otherwise direct the affairs of the Company. See "Principal Stockholders," "Certain Transactions" and "Description of Securities." NO ASSURANCE OF PUBLIC MARKET; ARBITRARY DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE Prior to this offering, there has been no public trading market for the Units, Common Stock, Class A Warrants or Class B Warrants. The initial public offering price of the Units and the exercise prices of the Class A Warrants and the Class B Warrants have been arbitrarily determined by negotiations between the Company and the Underwriter, and bear no relationship to such established valuation criteria as assets, book value or prospective earnings. There is no assurance that a regular trading market will develop for the Units after this offering or for the Common Stock and the Warrants subsequent to a Business Combination, or that, if developed, that any such market will be sustained. The Underwriter has advised the Company that it currently intends to serve as a market maker of the Units but is not obligated to do so and any market making may be discontinued at any time. See "Underwriting." OTC BULLETIN BOARD The Units will be traded in the over-the-counter market. It is anticipated that they will be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, an NASD sponsored and operated inter-dealer automated quotation system for equity securities not included in The Nasdaq Stock Market, as well as in the NQB Pink Sheets published by National Quotation Bureau Incorporated. The OTC Bulletin Board was introduced as an alternative to "pink sheet" trading of over-the-counter securities. Although the Company believes that the OTC Bulletin Board has been recognized by the brokerage community as an acceptable alternative to the NQB Pink Sheets, there can be no assurance that the liquidity and prices of the Units in the secondary market will not be adversely affected. See "Underwriting." IMMEDIATE DILUTION; DISPARITY OF CONSIDERATION This offering involves an immediate and substantial dilution of $2.57 per share (approximately 43.0% of the public offering price) between the pro forma net tangible book 26 value per share after the offering of $3.43 and the public offering price of $6.00 per share allocable to the share of Common Stock included in the Units (assuming no value is attributed to the Warrants included in the Units). The Initial Stockholders acquired their shares of Common Stock at a nominal price and, accordingly, new investors will bear virtually all of the risks inherent in an investment in the Company. See "Dilution." SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE All of the 625,000 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of the date of this Prospectus are "restricted securities," as that term is defined under Rule 144 ("Rule 144"), promulgated by the Commission under the Securities Act. None of such shares will be eligible for sale under Rule 144 prior to May 30, 1998. Notwithstanding such eligibility, the Affiliated Initial Stockholders have agreed not to sell their respective shares of Common Stock prior to six months following the consummation of a Business Combination and the Non- Affiliated Initial Stockholders have agreed not to sell their respective shares of Common Stock, which were acquired prior to the date of this Prospectus, prior to the occurrence of a Business Combination. An additional 200,000 shares of Common Stock, which have been registered pursuant to the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus forms a part, are issuable upon the exercise of the Directors' Warrants. The Directors' Warrants, however, will not be transferable or exercisable until the consummation of a Business Combination. No prediction can be made as to the effect, if any, that sales of such 625,000 restricted shares of Common Stock and such 200,000 registered shares of Common Stock, or the availability of such shares for sale, will have on the market prices prevailing from time to time. Nevertheless, the possibility that substantial amounts of Common Stock may be sold in the public market may adversely affect prevailing market prices for the Common Stock and could impair the Company's ability to raise capital through the sale of its equity securities. See "Certain Transactions" and "Shares Eligible for Future Sale." CURRENT PROSPECTUS AND STATE BLUE SKY REGISTRATION REQUIRED IN CONNECTION WITH EXERCISE OF WARRANTS Beginning on the later of the consummation of a Business Combination or one year from the date of this Prospectus, the Company will be able to issue shares of its Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrants only if there is then a current prospectus relating to the Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants under an effective registration statement filed with the 27 Commission, and only if such Common Stock is qualified for sale or exempt from qualification under applicable state securities laws of the jurisdictions in which the various holders of Warrants reside. Although the Company has agreed to use its best efforts to meet such requirements, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to do so. The Warrants may be deprived of any value and the market for the Warrants may be limited if a then current prospectus covering the Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants is not effective pursuant to an effective registration statement or if such Common Stock is not qualified or exempt from qualification in the jurisdictions in which the holders of the Warrants reside. See "Description of Securities." OUTSTANDING WARRANTS In connection with this offering, as part of the Units, the Company will be issuing Warrants to purchase 2,500,000 shares of Common Stock (2,875,000 if the Underwriter's over-allotment option is exercised in full). Additionally, the Company issued Directors' Warrants to purchase 200,000 shares of Common Stock and will issue the Unit Purchase Option entitling the Underwriter to purchase up to 375,000 shares of Common Stock. To the extent shares of Common Stock are to be issued by the Company to effect a Business Combination, the potential for the issuance of substantial numbers of additional shares upon exercise of these warrants could increase the cost to the Company of the Target Business (in terms of number of shares required to be issued). See "Description of Securities - -Warrants." POTENTIAL ADVERSE EFFECT OF REDEMPTION OF WARRANTS The Warrants may be redeemed by the Company, at a price of $.05 per Warrant, at any time they are exercisable, subject to not less than 30 days prior written notice to the holders thereof, provided that the last sale price of the Common Stock had been at least $8.50 per share for the redemption of the Class A Warrants and at least $10.50 per share for the redemption of the Class B Warrants, respectively, for the 20 consecutive trading days ending on the third day prior to the day on which notice is given. Notice of the redemption of the Warrants could force the holders thereof to exercise the Warrants and pay the exercise price at a time when it may be disadvantageous for them to do so to sell the Warrants, or accept the redemption price which is likely to be substantially less than the market value of the Warrants at the time of redemption. See "Description of Securities - Warrants." USE OF PROCEEDS 28 The net proceeds to the Company, after offering expenses and underwriting discounts of approximately $1,050,000 ($1,173,750 if the Underwriter's over-allotment option is exercised in full), from the sale of the Units offered hereby are estimated to be $6,450,000 ($7,451,250 if the Underwriter's over-allotment option is exercised in full). The Company will use substantially all of the net proceeds of this offering to acquire a Target Business, including identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates, selecting the Target Business, and structuring, negotiating and consummating the Business Combination. The Company will not acquire a Target Business unless it satisfies the Minimum Valuation Standard at the time of such acquisition. To the extent that securities of the Company are used in whole or in part as consideration to effect a Business Combination, the balance of the net proceeds of this offering not theretofore expended will be used to finance the operations of the Target Business. The proceeds of this offering, after payment of underwriting discounts and the Underwriter's non-accountable expense allowance, will be $6,675,000 ($7,676,250 if the Underwriter's over-allotment option is exercised in full). Ninety percent (90%) of such amount, or $6,007,500 ($6,908,625 if the Underwriter's over-allotment option is exercised in full), will be placed in the Trust Fund to be maintained by , , New York, New York , as trustee, until the earlier of (i) the consummation of a Business Combination or (ii) the liquidation of the Company. Therefore, unless and until a Business Combination is consummated, the proceeds held in the Trust Fund will not be available for use by the Company for any expenses related to this offering or expenses which may be incurred by the Company related to the investigation and selection of a Target Business and the negotiation of an agreement to acquire the Target Business. The trustee of the Trust Fund is only authorized to invest the funds in certain government, quasi-government and investment grade debt securities and to disburse the funds as indicated above; it has no other duties or obligations. Approximately $50,000 as of the date of this Prospectus has been advanced by Unity on a non-interest bearing demand basis, for payment on the Company's behalf of certain expenses of this offering. Such advances will be repaid out of the gross proceeds of this offering. The net proceeds not held in the Trust Fund, approximately $442,500 ($542,625 if the Underwriter's over-allotment option is exercised in full), will be used for, or in connection with (i) the performance of "due diligence" investigations of prospective acquisition candidates, (ii) legal, accounting and other expenses attendant to such "due diligence" investigations and to structuring, negotiating and consummating a Business Combination, and (iii) legal and accounting fees to be incurred in connection with the Company's obligation to file periodic reports, proxy statements and other informational material with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In addition, the Company has been obligated to pay to Unity, since June 1, 1996, a monthly fee of $7,500 for general and administrative expenses. Such general and administrative expenses have been accrued and will be paid to Unity 29 out of that portion of the net proceeds not held in the Trust Fund. See "Certain Transactions." Proceeds of this offering not immediately required for the purposes set forth above will be invested in United States Government securities or other high-quality, short-term interest-bearing investments, provided, however, that the Company will attempt to invest the net proceeds in a manner which does not result in the Company being deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act. The Company believes that, in the event a Business Combination is not effected during the 18-month period from the date of the consummation of this offering, unless extended to 24 months as discussed elsewhere herein, and to the extent that a significant portion of the net proceeds is not used in evaluating various prospective Target Businesses, the interest income derived from investment of the net proceeds during such period will be sufficient to defray continuing general and administrative expenses, as well as costs relating to compliance with securities laws and regulations (including associated professional fees). A Public Stockholder shall be entitled to receive funds from the Trust Fund only in the event of a liquidation or if he seeks to convert his shares into cash in connection with a Business Combination which he voted against and which is actually consummated by the Company. In no other circumstances shall a Public Stockholder have any right or interest of any kind or in the Trust Fund. 30 DILUTION The difference between the public offering price per share of Common Stock (assuming no value is attributed to the Warrants included in the Units) and the pro forma net tangible book value per share of Common Stock of the Company after this offering constitutes the dilution to investors in this offering. Net tangible book value per share is determined by dividing the net tangible book value of the Company (total tangible assets less total liabilities) by the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock. At July 31, 1996, the net tangible book value of the Company was $(264,937), or $(.42) per share of Common Stock. After giving effect to the sale of 1,250,000 shares of Common Stock included in the Units offered hereby and the application of the estimated net proceeds therefrom, the pro forma net tangible book value of the Company at July 31, 1996 would have been $6,435,063, or $3.43 per share of Common Stock, representing an immediate increase in net tangible book value of $3.85 per share to existing stockholders and an immediate dilution of $2.57 per share to new investors. The following table illustrates the foregoing information with respect to dilution to new investors on a per-share basis (assuming no value is attributed to the Warrants included in the Units): Public offering price per share of Common Stock $6.00 Net tangible book value before this offering $( .42) Increase attributable to new investors 3.85 ----- Pro forma net tangible book value after this offering 3.43 ------ Dilution to new investors $2.57 ------ ------ The following table sets forth, with respect to Initial Stockholders and new investors, a comparison of the number of shares of Common Stock acquired from the Company, the percentage ownership of such shares, the total consideration paid, the percentage of total consideration paid and the average price per share: 31 SHARES PURCHASED (1) TOTAL CONSIDERATION AVERAGE -------------------- ------------------- PRICE AMOUNT PERCENTAGE AMOUNT PERCENTAGE PER SHARE ------ ---------- ------ ---------- --------- Initial Stockholders 625,000 33.3% $ 125 - % $ .0001 New Investors 1,250,000 66.7% $7,500,000 100.0% $6.00 --------- ----- ---------- ----- TOTAL 1,875,000 100.0% $7,500,125 100.0% --------- ----- ---------- ----- --------- ----- ---------- ----- - -------------------- (1) The above table assumes no exercise of the Underwriter's over-allotment option. If the Underwriter's over-allotment option is exercised in full, the new investors will have paid $8,625,000 for 1,437,500 shares of Common Stock, representing virtually 100.0% of the total consideration for approximately 69.7% of the total number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. See "Underwriting." 32 CAPITALIZATION The following table sets forth the capitalization of the Company at July 31, 1996 and as adjusted to give effect to the sale of the Units being offered hereby and the application of the estimated net proceeds therefrom: AS ACTUAL ADJUSTED ------ -------- Stockholders' equity: Common Stock, subject to possible conversion, 249,875 shares at conversion value $ - $1,201,899 Preferred Stock, $.01 par value, 5,000 shares authorized; none issued - - Common Stock, $.0001 par value, 20,000,000 shares authorized; 625,000 shares issued and outstanding; 1,625,125 shares issued and outstanding (excluding 249,875 shares subject to possible conversion), as adjusted 63 163 Capital in excess of par value - 5,248,001 Deficit accumulated during (15,000) (15,000) development stage ------ --------- Total stockholders' equity $(14,937) $6,435,063 ------ --------- ------ --------- MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The Company, a development stage entity, was formed on May 30, 1996 to servefollowing description of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the information included in this prospectus. The description contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ significantly from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements as a vehicleresult of the risk factors set forth below and elsewhere in this prospectus. Overview We develop, market, sell and support server-based software that is designed to effectenable a merger, exchangediverse range of capital stock, asset acquisitiondesktop computers to access server-based Windows and UNIX applications from any location, over fast or other similar business combination (a "Business Combination")slow Internet connections. We were incorporated in May 1982 and engaged in the development and manufacture of hardware computer terminals. In 1996, we started to transition from a hardware to a software manufacturer by working with three independent software developers, with whom we entered into exclusive license agreements calling for royalties aggregating 16.4%, 9.7%, 4.8% and 2.9% of net revenues from sales of software products which contain the licensed technology for the years 1997, 1998, 1999 and 2000. After December 31, 2000, we have the option, under particular circumstances, to purchase the licensed technology or exclusive rights to it. We purchased most of the licensed technology from two of the software developers for an operating business (a "Target Business") whichaggregate purchase price of $378,000 in the Company believes has significant growth potential. The Company intends to utilize cash (to bethird quarter of 1999. Before October 1996, while we were developing our server-based software products, our revenue was derived principally from the proceedssale and repair of hardware computer terminals. We discontinued selling hardware products in 1996 and now provide only return-to-factory repair for the installed customer base. Software licensing revenue in 1996 was $72,900, representing only 12.3% of our revenue. Software revenue consists of licensing fees for products sold and revenues from OEM license agreements relating to our software products called GO-Global, GO-Joe and GO-Between, in addition to fees for training and software maintenance. Consequently, we do not consider comparisons between 1997 and 1996 fiscal performance to be meaningful. In October 1996, Sun Microsystems licensed GO-Joe for distribution with its network computers, our server software for distribution with its UNIX operating systems and GO-Global for use by its employees. GO-Global was released for sale to customers other than Sun Microsystems in March 1997. In April 1998, IBM licensed GO-Joe for distribution with its network computers and our server software for distribution with computers using its UNIX operating systems. GO- Joe was released for sale to customers other than IBM in July 1998. In December 1998, Corel licensed our software for distribution with its WordPerfect Office Suite products. 22 During 1997 and part of 1998, we concentrated our efforts on OEM opportunities and strategic alliances to establish product acceptance. OEM licensing revenue from the Sun Microsystems agreement accounted for approximately 70.0% of revenue in 1997 and licensing revenue from the Sun Microsystems, IBM and Corel agreements accounted for approximately 18.8%, 16.5% and 20.6% of revenues in 1998. We intend to continue to commit significant financial and other resources toward our objective of expanding our strategic OEM relationships and developing reseller channels. In pursuit of this offering)objective, in August 1998, we hired a Vice President of Sales and two sales directors to create and develop our reseller channel. In May 1998, we hired eight software engineers based in Bellevue, Washington and in December 1998 added eight engineers in Concord, New Hampshire in connection with the acquisition of Corel's jBridge technology. In February 1999, we hired a Chief Financial Officer. We have increased our headcount from 12 at December 31, 1997 to 49 at September 30, 1999. Product license revenues are recognized upon shipment only if we have no significant obligations and collection of the resulting receivable is deemed probable. When product licenses require product engineering development by us, recognition of revenue is after delivery and customer acceptance of contract milestones. Revenues for training are recognized when the services are performed. Revenue from customer yearly maintenance fees, for ongoing customer support and product updates are recognized equally over the term of the contract, which typically is 12 months. Our limited operating history as a software developer and manufacturer makes the prediction of future operating results difficult and unreliable. Future operating results may fluctuate due to many factors, including our ability to attract and retain strategic partners, the degree and rate of growth of the markets in which we compete and accompanying demand for our products, the level of product and price competition, and our ability to establish and build our software product reseller channels. Nine Months Ended September 30, 1999 Versus Nine Months Ended September 30, 1998 Revenues. Software revenues have been derived primarily from two sources: GO-Global product sales and OEM licensing revenues for GO-Joe, GO-Global and our server software. Total revenues for the nine-month period ended September 30, 1999 increased by $950,500, or 63.4%, equity, debtto $2,449,500 from $1,499,000 for the same period in 1998. The most important contributing factor was an increase in OEM license sales in 1999 as compared to 1998. Sales and Marketing Expenses. Sales and marketing expenses primarily consist of salaries, sales commissions, travel expenses, trade show related activities and promotional costs. Sales and marketing expenses increased by $1,499,200, or 174.3%, to $2,359,200, or 96.3% of 23 revenue, for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 from $860,000, or 57.4% of revenue, for the same period in 1998. This increase primarily is attributable to the addition of sales and marketing personnel and a combination thereofsubstantial increase in effectingtrade show, promotional and public relations activities. General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses primarily consist of salaries and legal and professional services. In addition, our corporate rent, utilities and administrative employee benefits are included in general and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses increased by $2,942,700, or 375.9%, to $3,725,500, or 152.1% of revenue, for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 from $782,800, or 52.2% of revenue, for the same period in 1998. This increase is primarily due to: . amortization and depreciation expense recorded in connection with the acquisition of technology and assets from Corel Corporation in the approximate amount of $2,400,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, respectively; . an increase in legal services; . hiring additional administrative personnel; and . increased utilities expenses necessary to support expanding operations. In addition, we recognized non-cash compensation charges in 1999 due to the recognition of deferred compensation charges in the latter part of 1998. Research and Development. Research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries and benefits to software engineers, supplies and payments to contract programmers and rent on facilities. Research and development expenses increased by $1,137,400, or 179.3%, to $1,771,800, or 72.3% of revenue, for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 from $634,400, or 42.3% of revenue, for the same period in 1998. The increase was primarily due to the addition of software engineers and the rent on new facility locations. As of September 30, 1999, we had 28 software engineers compared to 13 as of September 30, 1998. Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased in 1999 as compared to 1998 due to the repayment of a Business Combination.convertible note payable in January 1999. 24 Year Ended December 31, 1998 Versus Year Ended December 31, 1997 Revenues. Total revenues for the year ended December 31, 1998 were $2,124,200, an increase of 10.3% over the same period in 1997. The Company's effortsmost important contributing factor was a 10.4% increase in identifyingsoftware-related revenues to $1,971,000 in 1998 as compared to $1,785,000 in 1997. Our software revenues have been derived primarily from two sources: GO-Global product sales and OEM licensing revenues for GO-Joe, GO-Global and our server software. Revenues from the Sun Microsystems OEM licensing agreement represented 70.0% of total revenue in 1997 and from OEM license agreements with Sun Microsystems, IBM and Corel, collectively, represented 67.0% of revenues in 1998. Revenues also include service fees from maintenance contracts and training services. The maintenance program was started in June 1997 to provide product updates and support from the time of purchase. It is expected that many of the maintenance programs will be renewed by customers to assure continued product updates and support. Service revenue was $116,000 in 1998, or 5.5% of revenue, as compared to a prospective Target Businessnominal amount of revenue in 1997. Cost of Goods Sold. Cost of goods sold consists primarily of royalties, materials such as manuals, media and packaging, expenses associated with product maintenance and enhancements such as software corrections and updates, and amortization of capitalized research and development expenses. Research and development costs for new product development, after technological feasibility is established, are treated as "capitalized software" on our balance sheet and subsequently expensed as cost of goods sold over the shorter of three years or the remaining estimated life of the products, whichever produces the higher expense for the period. Cost of goods sold was reduced to 16.2% of revenue in 1998, as compared to 24.1% in 1997. This primarily is attributed to the reduction in the royalty rate paid to outside software developers under our exclusive licensing agreements. Sales and Marketing Expenses. Sales and marketing expenses primarily consist of salaries, sales commissions, travel expenses, trade show related activities and promotional costs. Sales and marketing expenses increased 74.1% to $1,440,300, or 67.8% of revenue, in 1998 from $827,300, or 43.0% of revenue, in 1997. This increase primarily is attributable to the addition of sales and marketing personnel and a substantial increase in trade show, promotional and public relations activities. We expect that sales and marketing expenses will continue to increase in dollar amounts, but decline as a percentage of total revenues, as we continue to hire additional sales and marketing personnel, establish reseller channels and expand promotional activities. General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses primarily consist of salaries and legal and professional services. In addition, our rent, utilities and administrative employee benefits are included in general and administrative expenses. General and 25 administrative expenses increased 244.5% to $1,118,600, or 52.7% of revenue, in 1998, from $324,700, or 16.9% of revenue, in 1997. This increase primarily is attributed to legal services, hiring additional administrative personnel and increased rent, utilities and benefit expenses necessary to support expanding operations. Interest Expense. Interest expense increased in the amount of $519,800 in 1998 primarily due to the recording of interest expense in the amount of $475,000 on the convertible note payable as a result of the issuance of 278,800 shares of common stock at $.09 per share in connection with such note. Research and Development. Research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries and benefits to software engineers, supplies and payments to contract programmers. Research and development expenses increased by 341.1% to $840,200, or 39.6% of revenue, in 1998, from $190,500, or 9.9% of revenue, in 1997. We believe that a significant level of investment for research and development is required to remain competitive and that such expenses are expected to continue to increase over the foreseeable future. Provision for Income Taxes. At December 31, 1998, we had approximately $2.8 million in federal net operating loss carryforwards. The federal net operating loss carryforwards will expire through 2018, if not utilized. In addition, the Tax Reform Act of 1986 contains provisions that may limit the net operating loss carryforwards available for use in any given period upon the occurrence of various events, including a significant change in ownership interests. In 1998, we experienced a "change of ownership" as defined by the provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986. As such, our utilization of our net operating loss carryforwards will be limited to approximately $400,000 per year until such carryforwards are fully utilized. To date, we have utilized a portion of our net operating loss carryforwards to reduce our overall income tax liability. Year Ended December 31, 1997 Versus Year Ended December 31, 1996 Before October 1996, while we were developing our server-based software products, our revenue was derived principally from the following industries: (i)sale and repair of hardware computer terminals. We discontinued selling hardware products in 1996 and now provide only return-to-factory repair for the manufactureinstalled customer base. Software licensing revenue in 1996 was $72,900, representing only 12.3% of analytical and controlling equipment, chemicals and allied products, electronic equipment and medical instrumentation; (ii) health services (including HMOs, laboratories and nursing homes); (iii) environmental services and products; (iv) engineering and construction; (v) wholesale and retail distribution (including discount operations)revenue as compared to 92.7% in 1997. Accordingly, the comparison of home furnishings, office supplies, computers andthe year ended December 31, 1997 to the year ended December 31, 1996 is considered not meaningful by management. Revenues. Total revenues for the year ended December 31, 1997 were $1,926,100, an increase of 223.8% over the same period in 1996. We believe the most important contributing factor was a $1,712,000 increase in software- related products, medical equipment and supplies, apparel and accessories, automotive parts and supplies and food and beverage products; (vi) internet and other new media products and services; and (vii) communications and entertainment. It has neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. The Company's entire activity since its inception has been$1,785,000 in 1997 versus 26 $72,900 in 1996 due to prepare for its proposed fundraising through an offeringour change from selling hardware products in 1996 to software products in 1997. Cost of equity securitiesGoods Sold. Cost of goods sold was reduced to 24.1% of revenue in 1997, versus 50.4% in 1996. This reduction primarily is attributable to our change in products from hardware to software as contemplated by this Prospectus. The Company'sdiscussed above. Sales and Marketing Expenses. Sales and marketing expenses increased 329.3% to $827,300, or 43.0% of $15,000 through July 31, 1996 all relaterevenue, in 1997 from $192,700, or 32.4% of revenue, in 1996. This increase primarily is attributable to generalthe addition of sales and marketing personnel and a substantial increase in trade show, promotional and public relations activities. General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses providedincreased by Unity.48.4% to $324,700, or 16.9% of revenue, in 1997 from $218,900, or 36.8% of revenue, in 1996. This increase primarily is attributed to hiring additional administrative personnel, legal services and benefit expenses necessary to support expanding operations. Research and Development. Research and development expenses increased by 356.8% to $190,500, or 9.9% of revenue, in 1997 from $41,700, or 7.0% of revenue, in 1996 due to the change in our products as discussed above. Liquidity and Capital Resources Prior to 1998, we funded our operations, working capital needs and capital expenditures primarily through cash flow from operations. In addition, since May 1996, $40,500 has been advanced1998, we received $775,000 from the issuance of notes convertible into shares of our common stock and in October and December of 1998 received aggregate net proceeds of $2,697,400 in connection with the first and second closings of a private placement offering. On December 31, 1998, a $200,000 note converted into 111,520 shares of our common stock and a note in the amount of $100,000 was repaid by Unity, on a non-interest bearing basis, for payment onus. In January 1999, the Company's behalf of certain expenses of this offering. Such amounts will be paid to Unity out of that portion ofabove $475,000 convertible note was repaid from the net proceeds notof the final closing of our private placement of securities whereby we received additional net proceeds of $1,708,600 in consideration of 1,095,053 shares of our common stock and warrants to purchase an additional 219,010 shares of our common stock. In February 1999, we sold 62,525 shares of our common stock and warrants to purchase an additional 676 shares of our common stock for gross proceeds of $97,200. 27 On July 12, 1999, we completed a merger with GraphOn Corporation, a California corporation ("GraphOn-CA"). By reason of the merger, each share of GraphOn-CA's common stock was exchanged for 0.5576 shares of our common stock and each outstanding option and warrant to purchase GraphOn-CA's common stock was exchanged for options or warrants to purchase 0.5576 shares of our common stock. We were the surviving corporation and changed our name, which was then Unity First Acquisition Corp., to GraphOn Corporation. Each of GraphOn-CA's officers is continuing in such role with us. The merger provided us with $5,425,000 in net cash proceeds which was previously held in trust for us until we consummated a merger with an operating business. As of September 30, 1999, we had and cash equivalents of $2,795,200 as well as $999,000 in available-for-sale securities compared to total liabilities of $876,500, exclusive of deferred revenue of $75,400. We anticipate that cash balances as of September 30, 1999, as well as anticipated revenue from operations, will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure needs through the Trust Fund. The net proceedsnext twelve months. We have no material capital expenditure commitments for the next twelve months. Year 2000 Compliance We are aware of problems associated with computer systems as the year 2000 approaches. Many existing computer systems and applications and other control devices use only two digits to identify a year in the date field, without considering the impact of the upcoming change in the century. Others do not correctly process "leap year" dates. As a result, such systems and applications could fail or create erroneous results unless corrected so that they can correctly process data related to the Company, after offering expensesyear 2000 and underwriting discountsbeyond. These problems are expected to increase in frequency and severity as the year 2000 approaches, and are commonly referred to as the "year 2000 problem." We are continuing to assess the impact that the year 2000 problem may have on our operations and have identified the following three key areas of approximately $1,050,000 ($1,173,750 ifour business that may be affected: . Products. We have evaluated each of our most current products and older versions and believe that each is substantially year 2000 compliant. However, we believe that it is not possible to determine whether all of our customers' products into which our products are incorporated or connected will be year 2000 complaint because we have little or no control over the Underwriter's over-allotment option is exercised in full), fromdesign, production and testing of our customers' products. 28 . Internal Infrastructure. The year 2000 problem could affect the salesystems, transaction processing computer applications and devices used by us to operate and monitor all major aspects of the Units offered hereby are estimated to be $6,450,000 ($7,451,250 if the Underwriter's over-allotment option is exercised in full). The Company will useour business, including financial systems, customer services, infrastructure, materials requirement planning, master production scheduling, networks and telecommunications systems. We believe that we have identified substantially all of the net proceeds of this offering to acquire a Target Business, including identifyingmajor systems, software applications and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates, selecting the Target Business, and structuring, negotiating and consummating the Business Combination. The Company will not acquire a Target Business unless it satisfies the Fair Market Value criteria at the time of such acquisition. To the extent that securities of the Company arerelated equipment used in whole or in part as consideration to effect a Business Combination, the balance of the net proceeds of this offering not theretofore expended will be used to finance the operations of the Target Business. The net proceeds not held in the Trust Fund, approximately $442,500 ($542,625 if the Underwriter's over-allotment option is exercised in full), will be used for, or in connection with (i)our internal operations that must be modified or upgraded in order to minimize the performancepossibility of "due diligence" investigationsa material disruption to our business. We have modified and upgraded all affected systems. Because most of prospective acquisition candidates, (ii) legal, accountingthe software applications used by us are recent versions of vendor supported, commercially available products, we have not incurred, and other expenses attendantdo not expect in the future to incur, significant costs to upgrade these applications as year 2000 complaint versions are released by the respective vendors. . Facility Systems. Systems such "due diligence" investigationsas heating, sprinklers, test equipment and to structuring, negotiatingsecurity systems at our facilities also may be affected by the year 2000 problem. We currently are assessing the potential effect of and consummatingcosts of remediating the year 2000 problem on our facility systems. We estimate that our total cost of completing any required modifications, upgrades or replacements of these systems will not have a Business Combination, and (iii) legal and accounting fees to be incurred in connection withmaterial adverse effect on our business or results of operations. We presently estimate that the Company's obligation to file periodic reports, proxy statements and other informational material with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In addition, the Company has been obligated to pay to Unity, since June 1, 1996, a monthly feetotal cost of $7,500 for general and administrative expenses. Such general and administrative expenses have been accrued andaddressing our year 2000 issues will be paid to Unity out ofless than approximately $10,000. This estimate was derived utilizing numerous assumptions, including the assumption that portion of the net proceeds not held in the Trust Fund. See "Certain Transactions." 33 The report of independent public accountants on the Company's financial statements includes an explanatory paragraph with respect to the Company being in its development stage, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. 34 PROPOSED BUSINESS INTRODUCTION The Company was formed to serve as a vehicle for the acquisition of a Target Business which the Company believes haswe already have identified our most significant growth potential. The Company intends to utilize cash (derived from the proceeds of this offering), equity, debt or a combination of these in effecting a Business Combination. The Company's efforts in identifying a prospective Target Business will be limited to the Target Industries. While the Company may, under certain circumstances, seek to effect Business Combinations with more than one Target Business, the Company will, in all likelihood, have the ability, as a result of its limited resources, to effect only a single Business Combination. The Company may effect a Business Combination with a Target Business which may be financially unstable or in its early stages of development or growth. "BLANK CHECK" OFFERING BACKGROUND. As a result of Management's broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of this offering, this offeringyear 2000 issues. However, there can be characterized asno guarantee that these assumptions are accurate, and actual results could differ materially from those anticipated. We currently are developing contingency plans to address the year 2000 issues that may pose a "blank check" offering. Although substantially allsignificant risk to our on-going operations. Such plans could include accelerated replacement of the net proceedsaffected equipment or software, temporary use of this offering are intended to be generally applied toward effecting a Business Combination, subject to the limitation concerning Target Industries discussed under "- Introduction", such proceeds are not otherwise being designated for any more specific purposes. Accordingly, prospective investors will invest in the Company without an opportunity to evaluate the specific meritsback-up equipment or risks of any one or more Business Combinations. A Business Combination may involve the acquisition of, or merger with, a company which does not need substantial additional capital but which desires to establish a public trading market for its shares, while avoiding what it may deem to be adverse consequences of undertaking a public offering itself, such as time delays, significant expense, loss of voting control and compliance with various Federal and state securities laws. UNSPECIFIED INDUSTRY AND TARGET BUSINESS. To date, the Company has not selected any particular industry from the Target Industries or any Target Business in which to concentrate its search for a Business Combination. Accordingly, there is no basis for investors in this offering to evaluate the possible merits or risks of the Target Businesssoftware or the particular industry in which the Company may ultimately operate. To the extent the Company effects a Business Combination with a financially unstable company or an entity in its early stageimplementation of development or growth (including entities without established records of sales or earnings), the Company will become subjectmanual procedures to numerous risks inherent in the 35 business and operations of financially unstable and early stage or potential emerging growth companies. In addition, to the extent that the Company effects a Business Combination with an entity in an industry characterized by a high level of risk, the Company will become subject to the currently unascertainable risks of that industry. An extremely high level of risk frequently characterizes certain industries which experience rapid growth. In addition, although Management will endeavor to evaluate the risks inherent in a particular industry or Target Business,compensate for system deficiencies. However, there can be no assurance that any contingency plans that we implement would be adequate to meet our needs without materially impacting our operations, that any such plan would be successful or that our results of operations would not be materially and adversely affected by the Companydelays and inefficiencies inherent in conducting operations in an alternative manner. 29 Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk We are not exposed to financial market risks from changes in foreign currency exchange rates or changes in interest rates and do not use derivative financial instruments. A substantial majority of our revenue and capital spending is transacted in U.S. dollars. However, in the future, we may enter into transactions in other currencies. An adverse change in exchange rates would result in a decline in income before taxes, assuming that each exchange rate would change in the same direction relative to the U.S. dollar. In addition to the direct effects of changes in exchange rates, such changes typically affect the volume of sales or foreign currency sales price as competitors' products become more or less attractive. Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements In February 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 132, "Employer's Disclosure about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits," which standardizes the disclosure requirements for pension and other post-retirement benefits. The adoption of SFAS No. 132 did not impact our disclosures. Recently Issued Accounting Standards and Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In June 1998, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." This standard requires that every derivative instrument, including derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, be 30 recorded on the balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its fair value. The standard is effective for all fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. As we currently are not a party to any derivative financial instruments and do not anticipate becoming a party to any derivative instruments, management does not expect this standard to have a significant impact on our financial statements. 31 BUSINESS General We develop, market, sell and support server-based software for the application service providers, independent software vendors, and the enterprise computing environment. Server-based computing, sometimes referred to as thin- client computing, is a computing model where traditional desktop software applications are relocated to run entirely on a server or host computer. Our technology uses a small software program at each desktop, which allows the user to interface with an application as if it where running on the user's desktop computer. This centralized deployment and management of applications reduces the complexity and total costs associated with desktop computing. The ability to access such applications over computer networks and the Internet creates new computing and operational models, in addition to new sales channels. Our server- based technology works on today's most powerful personal computer or low-end network computer, without application rewrites or changes to the corporate computing infrastructure. Industry Background History In the 1970's, software applications were executed on central mainframes and typically accessed by low-cost display terminals. Information technology departments were responsible for deploying, managing and supporting the applications to create a reliable environment for users. In the 1980's, the PC became the desktop of choice, empowering the user with flexibility, a graphical user interface, and a multitude of productive and inexpensive applications. In the 1990's, the desktop was provided access to mainframe applications and databases, which run on large server computers. Throughout this computing evolution, the modern desktop has become increasingly complex and costly to administer and maintain. This is further exacerbated as organizations become more dispersed with remote employees, and the desire increases to become more closely connected with vendors and customers through the Internet. Lowering Total Cost of Ownership PC software in general has grown dramatically in size and complexity in recent years. As a result, the cost of supporting and maintaining PC desktops has increased substantially. A leading research firm estimates the annual cost of operating a corporate PC was as much as $9,382 in 1997 and will increase to as much as $13,485 by 2001. Industry analysts and enterprise users alike have begun to recognize that the total cost of ownership of a PC, taking into account the recurring cost of technical support, administration and end-user down time, has become high both in absolute terms and relative to the initial hardware purchase price. 32 With increasing demands to better control corporate computing costs, industry leaders are developing technology to address total cost of ownership issues. One approach, led by Sun Microsystems and IBM, utilizes Java-based network computers, which operate by downloading small Java programs to the desktop, which in turn are used for accessing server-based applications. The other approach is Microsoft's Windows NT(TM), terminal server edition, introduced in June 1998, which permits server-based Windows applications to be accessed from the new Windows-based network computers. Both initiatives are examples of server-based computing, which simplifies the desktop by moving the responsibility of running applications to a central server, with the promise of lowering total cost of ownership. Cross-Platform Computing Today's enterprises contain a diverse collection of desktop computers, each with its particular operating system, processing power and connection type. Consequently, it is becoming increasingly difficult to provide universal desktop access to business-critical applications across the enterprise. As a result, organizations resort to desktop emulation software, new hardware or costly application rewrites. A common cross-platform problem is the need to access UNIX or Linux applications from a PC desktop. While UNIX-based computers dominate the enterprise applications market, Microsoft Windows-based PCs are used on the majority of enterprise desktops. Since the early 1990's, organizations have been striving to connect desktop PCs to UNIX applications over all types of connections, including networks and standard phone lines. This effort, however, is complex and costly. The primary solution to date is known as PC X Server software, large software programs that require substantial memory and processing resources on the desktop. Typically, PC X Server software is difficult to install, configure and maintain. Enterprises are looking for an effective UNIX connectivity software for PCs and non-PC desktops that is easier and less expensive to administer and maintain. Application Service Providers The nature of the Internet has led to the emergence of new operational models and sales channels. Traditional high-end software packages that were once too expensive for many companies are now available for rent over the Internet. By servicing customers through a centralized operation rather than installing and maintaining applications at each customer site, we expect that application service providers quickly will play an important role in addressing an enterprise's computing requirements. Today, application service providers are faced with the difficult task of creating or rewriting applications to entertain the broader market. Though the application service provider industry is just beginning to emerge, we expect it to develop rapidly, due to application vendors' desire to expand their markets. 33 Remote Computing The cost and complexity of contemporary enterprise computing has been further complicated by the growth in remote access requirements. As business activities become physically distributed, computer users have looked to portable computers with remote access capabilities to stay connected in a highly dispersed work environment. One problem facing remote computing over the Internet or direct telephone connections is the slow speed of communication in contrast to the high speed of internal corporate networks. Today, applications requiring remote access must be tailored to the limited speed and lower reliability of remote connections, further complicating the already significant challenge of connecting desktop users to business-critical applications. The GraphOn Approach Our server-based software deploys, manages, supports and executes applications entirely on the server computer and distributes them efficiently and instantaneously to virtually any desktop device. Our technology consists of three key components: . The server component runs alongside the server-based application and is responsible for intercepting user-specific information for display at the desktop. . The desktop component is responsible only for sending keystrokes and mouse motion to the server, as well as presenting the application interface to the desktop user. This keeps the desktop simple, or thin, as well as independent of application requirements for resources, processing power and operating systems. . Our protocol enables efficient communication over fast networks or slow dial-up connections and allows applications to be accessed from virtually any location with network-like performance and responsiveness. The major benefits of our approach are as follows: . Lowers Total Cost of Ownership. Shrinking recurring costs is a primary goal of our products. Today, installing enterprise applications typically is time-consuming, complex and expensive, requiring administrators to manually install and support diverse desktop configurations and interactions. Our server-based software simplifies application management by enabling deployment, administration and support from a central location. Installation and updates are made only at the server, avoiding desktop software and operating system conflicts and minimizing at-the-desk support. According to a leading research firm, server-based computing strategies, such as those offered by us, may achieve as 34 much as a 30% savings by, among other things, simplifying the desktop and moving application processing and management from individual desktops to a centralized server-based infrastructure. For example, in a 2,500-PC computing environment, a leading research firm has calculated that a server-based approach would have saved approximately $4.5 million in 1997 and, as computing complexity continues to grow, could save approximately $16 million in 2001. . Connects Diverse Computing Platforms. Today's computing infrastructures are a mix of desktop devices, network connections and operating systems. Enterprise-wide communication often requires costly and complex emulation software or application rewrites. For example, Windows PCs typically may not access a company's UNIX applications without installing complex PC X Server software on each PC. Typical PC X Servers are large and require an information technology professional to properly ascertaininstall and configure each desktop. For Macintosh, the choices are even fewer, requiring the addition of yet another vendor product. For the newer desktop technologies, such as Sun Microsystems' and IBM's network computers, access to UNIX is impractical without server-based products. To rewrite an application for each different desktop and their many diverse operating systems is often a difficult and time-consuming task. In addition to the development expense, issues of desktop performance, data compatibility and support costs often make this option prohibitive. Our products provide organizations the ability to access applications from virtually all desktops, utilizing their existing computing infrastructure, without rewriting a single line of code or assesschanging or reconfiguring desktop hardware. This means that enterprises can maximize their investment in existing technology and allow users to work in their preferred desktop environment. . Application Service Providers. Many large enterprises have made significant investments in developing, marketing and selling enterprise-wide software solutions. Our server-based technology is designed to allow Windows, Linux and UNIX access from any desktop connected to the Internet. Today's packaged applications can be accessed quickly, easily and without modification. . Leverages Existing PCs and Deploys New Desktop Hardware. Our software brings the benefits of server-based computing to users of existing PC hardware, while simultaneously enabling enterprises to begin to take advantage of and deploy less complex network computers. This assists organizations in maximizing their current investment in hardware and software while, at the same time, facilitating a manageable and cost effective transition to newer desktop devices. . Efficient Protocol. Applications typically are designed for network- connected desktops, which can put tremendous strain on congested networks and may yield 35 poor, sometimes unacceptable, performance over remote connections. For application service providers, bandwidth typically is the top recurring expense when web-enabling or renting access to applications over the Internet. Our highly efficient protocol sends only keystrokes, mouse clicks and display updates over the network resulting in minimal impact on bandwidth for application deployment, thus lowering cost on a per user basis. Within the enterprise, our protocol can extend the reach of business- critical applications to all significant risk factors. PROBABLE LACK OF BUSINESS DIVERSIFICATION. Whileareas, including branch offices, telecommuters and remote users, over the CompanyInternet, phone lines or wireless connections. This concept may under certain circumstances, seekbe extended further to effect Business Combinationsinclude vendors and customers for increased manufacturing flexibility, time-to-market and customer satisfaction. Products Our products are designed to allow enterprises to access UNIX, Linux and Windows, applications from centrally managed servers without modification. Currently, our products provide the UNIX and Linux server-based software. With the integration of the WinBridge (formerly jBridge) technology in early 2000, our current product line will be extended to access Windows applications from centrally managed servers, widening our product offering and opportunities. . GO-Global is a server-based software product for high performance access to UNIX and Linux applications from any Windows PC located virtually anywhere on an organization's network, the Internet or even over a phone line. We began selling GO-Global in March 1997. . GO-Joe is a server-based software product for accessing Unix and Linux applications, from virtually any Java-enabled desktop or device, including the Sun Microsystems and IBM network computers, desktops and hand-held devices with web browsers such as Microsoft Internet Explorer(TM) or Netscape Navigator(TM). We began selling GO-Joe in July 1998. Sun Microsystems began shipping GO-Joe for distribution with its network computers in July 1998. . GO-Between is a server-based software product for accessing UNIX and Linux applications from Microsoft's Windows NT, terminal server edition. GO-Between minimizes the impact on server resources over traditional emulator solutions for accessing UNIX and Linux applications from Microsoft's terminal server edition products. This increases the number of simultaneous users that may access UNIX from any one terminal server edition server. Microsoft has released a technical 36 whitepaper describing the UNIX access benefits of GO-Between for terminal server edition users. We began shipping GO-Between in October 1998. . WinBridge (formerly jBridge) is a technology we acquired from Corel in December 1998. It will enable GO-Global, GO-Between and GO-Joe to access server-based Windows applications. With the anticipated integration of the WinBridge technology in early 2000, we will offer complete cross platform access to Windows applications from virtually any desktop. Since the applications are not running on the desktop, even a non-Windows desktop will be able to access Windows applications. Windows applications can be accessed from desktop computers using various operating systems such as Macintosh, UNIX, Linux and OS/2, which will appear and function as if they were running locally on the desktop. Target Markets The market for our products comprises all organizations that need to access UNIX, Linux and Windows applications from a wide variety of desktops from any location, including over the Internet and dial-up lines. This includes large organizations, such as Fortune 1000 companies, government and educational institutions. Our software is designed to allow these enterprises to use the best desktop for a particular purpose, rather than following a "one PC fits all," high total cost of ownership model. Our opportunity within the marketplace is more specifically broken down as follows: . Enterprises Employing a Mix of Unix and Windows. Most major enterprises employ a mix of UNIX computers and Windows PCs. Companies that utilize a mixed computing environment require cross-platform connectivity solutions like GO-Global that will allow users to access UNIX applications from desktop PCs. It has been estimated that PCs represent over 90% of enterprise desktops. We believe that our products are well positioned to exploit this opportunity and that our server-based software products will significantly reduce the cost and complexity of connecting PCs to UNIX applications. . Enterprises That Employ Microsoft's Terminal Server Edition. A leading research firm estimates that the Microsoft terminal server market will start to accelerate rapidly, with more than 390,000 host servers installed by the end of 2000. Each terminal server edition server supports a minimum of 10 users, such that the estimated user base for terminal server editions will be at least 3.9 million in 2000. A leading research firm reports that 38% of surveyed terminal server edition users will require access to UNIX applications. Our management believes the terminal server edition market to be a significant opportunity for GO-Between. 37 . Enterprises With Remote Computer Users. Remote computer users comprise one Target Business,of the fastest growing market segments in the computing industry. Efficient remote access to applications has become an important part of many enterprise computing strategies. A leading research firm projects that approximately 25 million business users access computing resources remotely in 1998 and that this number will grow to approximately 137 million worldwide in 2003, with 60% of these users still connecting via low-bandwidth modems. Our protocol is designed to enable highly efficient low-bandwidth connections. . Application Service Providers. High-end software applications in the fields of human resources, enterprise resource planning, enterprise relationship management and others historically only have been available to organizations able to make large investments in capital and personnel. The Internet has opened up global and mid-tier markets to vendors of this software who may now offer it to a broader market on a rental basis. Our products enable the vendors to provide Internet access to their applications with minimal additional investment in development implementation. . Extended Enterprise Software Market. Extended enterprises allow access to their computing resources to their customers, suppliers, distributors and other partners, gaining flexibility in manufacturing and increasing speed-to-market and customer satisfaction. For example, extended enterprises may maintain decreased inventory via just-in- time, vendor-managed inventory and related techniques. The Internet has facilitated this development and a leading research firm has predicted the extended enterprise software market will grow to an estimated $5.76 billion in 2002. The early adoption of extended enterprise solutions may be driven in part by enterprises' need to exchange information over a wide variety of computing platforms. We believe that our server-based software products, along with our low- impact protocol, are well positioned to provide enabling solutions for extended enterprise computing. Strategic Relationships We believe it is important to maintain our current strategic alliances and intend to seek suitable new alliances in order to improve our technology and/or enhance our ability to penetrate relevant target markets. The alliances that we currently are focusing on are those that have immediate revenue generating potential, strengthen our position in the server-based software market, add complementary capabilities and/or raise awareness of our products. Sun MicroSystems. In October 1996, Sun MicroSystems licensed our GO-Joe for distribution within its initial Business Combination must benetwork computers and our server component for distribution with its 38 UNIX computers and operating system. Pursuant to the Sun Microsystems agreement, Sun has a perpetual, non-exclusive, world-wide and fully paid up license to, among other things, distribute and sell GO-Joe with its network computers and to distribute our server component with its UNIX computers and operating systems. The license to Sun also allows Sun employees to use GO-Global internally and remotely. In addition to what is provided for in the Sun agreement, Sun's network computers currently display the GO-Joe logo, our name and our website address each time GO-Joe is started, further increasing company and product awareness. We plan to work with Sun's sales force and resellers to sell and promote GO-Global and GO-Between as UNIX access solutions for users of PCs and multi-user NT. As of September 30, 1999, Sun paid us a $2,500,000 one-time royalty payment for completion of product delivery requirements and for a site license for GO-Global. The Sun agreement is expected to terminate in December 2000, although Sun will continue to have rights to our products licensed pursuant to the agreement after its termination. Compuware. In September 1999, we entered into a three year, non- exclusive agreement with Compuware, an international software and services company. Pursuant to this agreement, we will license our WinBridge (formerlyjBridge) server-based software for inclusion with Compuware's UNIFACE software, a powerful development and deployment environment for enterprise customer-facing applications. Compuware customers will use GraphOn's server- based solution to provide enterprise-level UNIFACE applications over the Internet. Compuware will private label and completely integrate WinBridge into its UNIFACE deployment architecture as UNIFACE Jti. Corel Corporation. In December 1998, we acquired Corel's jBridge technology and its jBridge development team, in exchange for our securities. See "Description of Securities-Corel Warrant and Similar Warrant." jBridge is designed to allow any device running Java to access 32-bit Windows applications remotely and unmodified. When combined with our UNIX products, we believe that jBridge will provide our customers with a Target Business which satisfies the Minimum Valuation Standard at the timecomplete enterprise solution, linking any of such acquisition. Consequently, itplatforms to virtually any desktop over virtually any connection. In addition, we entered into a strategic alliance with Corel. We intend through this alliance to promote our products to Corel's Windows, UNIX and Linux customers. The alliance has a one year term ending in July 2000 which is likelyrenewable by mutual consent for successive one year periods, and is terminable at will by either party. In October 1999, we entered into an agreement with Corel pursuant to which we licensed to Corel the right to include our WinBridge technology with any of Corel's applications. Under this non-exclusive perpetual license, Corel will bundle our WinBridge software with certain of its applications, beginning with its WordPerfect Office 2000 suite and, in the future, will fully integrate our software into these applications. We are to receive $1,000,000 for this license, of which $600,000 has been recognized to date, with the balance scheduled to be paid prior to the end of calendar year 2000. Alcatel Italia. In July 1999, we entered into a five-year non-exclusive agreement with Alcatel Italia, the Italian Division of Alcatel, the telecommunications, network systems and services company. Pursuant to this agreement, Alcatel will license our GO-Global thin-client server software for inclusion with Alcatel's Turn-key Solution software, an optical networking system. Alcatel customers are expected to use GraphOn's server-based solution to access Alcatel's UNIX/X Network Management Systems applications from T- based PCs. In addition, 39 Alcatel will deploy GO-Global internally to provide Alcatel employees with high- speed network access to Alcatel's own server-based software over dial-up, LANs and WANs. Sales, Marketing and Support Our customers, to date, are primarily Fortune 1000 companies and large government organizations. Among our current customers are the following: Alcatel Johnson & Johnson Ameritech Corporation Lucent Technologies, Inc. Amoco Corporation Motorola, Inc. AT&T Corporation Nortel Technology Canadian Meteorological Centre National Semiconductor Corp. Cisco Systems, Inc. Pfizer Inc. Corel Corporation Shell Oil Company Ericsson Telecommunicatie B.V. Sun Microsystems, Inc. Hewlett-Packard Company United States Geological Survey IBM
While previously most of our revenues were from direct sales and OEM agreements, we currently are developing and expanding relationships with a select number of resellers. We expect to benefit from these relationships by availing ourselves of their established customer-base, co-marketing programs and marketing and sales capabilities. Such resellers include value-added resellers, system integrators and OEM licensees. Our sales and marketing efforts will be focused on increasing product awareness and demand among large enterprises and developing formal distribution relationships with UNIX and Windows-oriented resellers. Current marketing activities include a targeted direct mail campaign, tradeshows, production of promotional materials, public relations and maintaining an Internet presence for marketing and sales purposes. In August 1998, we hired three senior level sales professionals to develop our reseller channels. Due to the nature of our products, remote access via telephone lines or the Internet can be used to troubleshoot and diagnose problems. We provide technical support and training to OEMs and resellers that function as the Companyfirst line of support for their own customers. We provide 90-day online Internet, e-mail, fax and telephone-based services for technical support and software upgrades at no charge. Additionally, purchasers of our products can choose to purchase an annual extended maintenance program, which currently costs 15% of the product purchase price per year. 40 Research and Development Our research and development efforts currently are focused on developing new products and further enhancing the functionality, performance and reliability of existing products. We invested $840,200 and $1,771,800 in research and development in 1998 and in the first nine months of 1999. We expect increased expenditures in 2000. We have made significant investments in our protocol and in the performance and development of our server-based software. In May 1998, we hired a group of eight software engineers located in Bellevue, Washington. They have experience in Java, protocol technology and various Microsoft Windows operating systems. They are working to enhance our existing software products as well as beginning to conceptualize and architect future products. In December 1998, we hired nine additional software engineers located in Concord, New Hampshire in connection with the acquisition of the jBridge technology from Corel. This group has substantial Windows and Java experience. We plan to continue to add software engineers in order to expand our research and development capabilities, although there can be no assurances that qualified personnel will be available to us as needed. Operations We control all purchasing, inventory, order processing and shipping of our products and accounting functions related to our operations. Production of software masters, development of documentation, packaging designs, quality control and testing also are performed by us. CD-ROM and floppy disk duplication, printing of documentation and packaging are accomplished through outside vendors. We generally ship products upon receipt of order. As a result, we have relatively little backlog at any given time, and do not consider backlog a significant indicator of future performance. Competition The server-based software market in which we participate is highly- competitive, although we believe we have significant advantages over our competitors, both in product performance and market positioning. This market ranges from remote access for a single PC user to server-based software for large numbers of users over many different types of desktop hardware and connections. Our competitors include manufacturers of conventional PC X Server software and competition is expected from these and other companies in the server-based software market. Competitive factors in the market in which we compete include price, product quality, functionality, product differentiation and breadth. 41 We believe our principal competitors for our current products include Citrix Systems, Inc., Hummingbird Communications, Ltd., SCO, WRQ, Network Computing Devices and NetManage. Hummingbird is the established market leader in PC X Servers, believed to have over 50% of that market. WRQ, Network Computing Devices and NetManage also offer traditional PC X Server software and have minority positions within that market. SCO introduced Tarantella, a server-based Java-to-Unix connectivity product which competes with GO-Joe. However, SCO's principal product is a UNIX operating system that competes with UNIX vendors like Sun Microsystems and IBM. We believe that SCO, as a competitor to the other UNIX vendors, will have difficulty in penetrating enterprises who utilize other vendors' UNIX operating systems, such as Sun Microsystems and IBM. Proprietary Technology We license key components of our server-based technology from one software developer to whom we pay royalties pursuant to an exclusive license agreement. Minor elements of our server-based technology also are licensed pursuant to a non-exclusive agreement, which calls for royalty payments by us. Such royalty payments are based on a percentage of net revenues received by us for sales of our products that contain the abilitylicensed technology. The royalty rate under all of these agreements is an aggregate of 4.8% and 2.9% for 1999 and 2000. We hold options to purchase the developed technology and to purchase a perpetual license to some of the non-exclusively licensed technology which are exercisable beginning in December 2000. If we do not exercise our options under the exclusive license agreements, the applicable royalty rate would continue at 2% in 2001 and beyond. The exclusive license agreement, unless terminated earlier pursuant to its terms, will terminate on September 6, 2006. The non-exclusive agreement continues unless terminated for material breach. We purchased most of the licensed technology for an aggregate purchase price of $378,000 in the third quarter of 1999. We rely primarily on trade secret protection, copyright law, confidentiality and proprietary information agreements to protect our proprietary technology and registered trademarks. The loss of any material trade secret, trademark, trade name or copyright could have a material adverse effect only a single Business Combination. Accordingly, the prospects for the Company's successon our results of operations and financial condition. There can be no assurance that our efforts to protect our proprietary technology rights will be entirely dependent uponsuccessful. Despite our precautions it may be possible for unauthorized third parties to copy portions of our products, or to obtain information we regard as proprietary. See "Legal Proceedings." We do not believe our products infringe on the future performancerights of a single business. Unlike certain entities which have the resources to consummate several Business Combinations of entities operating in multiple industries or multiple areas of a single industry, it is highly likely that the Company will not have the resources to diversify its operations or benefit from the possible spreading of risks or offsetting of losses. The Company's probable lack of diversification may subject the Company to numerous economic, competitive and regulatory developments, any or all of which may have a substantial adverse impact upon the particular industry in which the Company may operate subsequent to a Business Combination. In addition, by consummating a Business Combination with only a single entity, the prospects for the Company's success may become dependent upon the development or market acceptance of a single or limited number of products, processes or services. Accordingly, notwithstanding the possibility of capital investment in and management assistance to the Target Business by the Company,third parties, but there can be no assurance that third parties will not assert infringement claims against us in the Target Businessfuture, or that any such assertion will provenot result in costly litigation or require us to be commercially viable. Priorobtain a license to proprietary technology rights of such parties. 42 In November 1999, we acquire a U.S. patent for the consummationremote display of a Business Combination, the Company has no intention of either loaning any of the proceeds of this offering to any company or purchasing a minority equity interest in any company. OPPORTUNITY FOR STOCKHOLDER EVALUATION OR APPROVAL OF BUSINESS COMBINATIONS. The investors in this offering will, in all likelihood, neither receive nor otherwise have the opportunity to evaluate any financial or other information which will be made available to the Company in connectionMicrosoft Windows applications on UNIX and Linux desktops with selecting a potential Business Combination until after the Company has entered into an agreement to effectuate a Business Combination. Such agreement to effectuate a Business Combination, however, will be subject to stockholder approval as discussed elsewhere herein.X Windows. As a result, 36 investors in this offering will be almost entirely dependent onwe believe that we have acquired patent protection and licensing rights for the judgment of Management in connection with the selection and ultimate consummation of a Business Combination. In connection with seeking stockholder approval of a Business Combination, the Company intends to furnish its stockholders with proxy solicitation materials prepared in accordance with the Exchange Act, which, among other matters, will include a description of the operations of the Target Business and audited historical financial statements thereof. Under the Delaware Business Corporation Act, various forms of Business Combinations can be effected without stockholder approval. In addition, the form of Business Combination will have an impact upon the availability of dissenters' rights (i.e., the right to receive fair payment with respect to the Company's Common Stock) to stockholders disapproving the proposed Business Combination. Under current applicable laws, only a merger, consolidation or share exchange may give rise to a stockholder vote and to dissenters' rights. Nevertheless, the Company will afford to investors in this offering the right to approve any Business Combination, irrespective of whether such approval would be required under applicable Delaware law. In the event, however, that 20% or more in interest of Public Stockholders vote against approval of any Business Combination, the Company will not consummate such Business Combination. All of the Initial Stockholders, including all of the officers and directors of the Company, have agreed to vote their respective shares of Common Stock in accordance with the vote of the majority in interestdeployment of all Public Stockholders with respectWindows applications remoted, or displayed, over a network or any other type of connection to any Business Combination. LIMITED ABILITY TO EVALUATE TARGET BUSINESS' MANAGEMENT. While the Company's ability to successfully effectX Window systems, This patent, which covers our WinBridge (formerly jBridge) technology, was originally developed by a Business Combination will be dependent upon the effortsteam of its officersengineers formerly with Exodus Technology and directors, the future rolehired by us in May 1998. Employees and Facilities As of such persons, if any,September 30, 1999, we had a total of 49 employees, including 14 in the Target Business cannot presently be stated with any certainty. While it is possible that one or more of these persons will remain associatedmarketing, sales and support, 28 in some capacity with the Company followingresearch and development and 7 in administration and finance. No employees are covered by a Business Combination, it is unlikely that any of them will devote their full efforts to the affairs of the Company subsequent thereto. Moreover, there can be no assurance that such persons will have significant experience or knowledge relating to the operations of the particular Target Business. Furthermore, although the Company intends to closely scrutinize the management of a prospective Target Business in connection with evaluating the desirability of effecting a Business Combination, there can be no assurance that the Company's assessment of such management will prove to be correct, especially in light of the possible inexperience of the Company's officers and directors in evaluating certain types of businesses. In addition, there can be no assurance that such future management will have the necessary skills, qualifications or abilities to manage a public company intending to embark on a program of business development. The Company may also seek to recruit additional managers to 37 supplement the incumbent management of the Target Business. There can be no assurance that the Company will have the ability to recruit such additional managers, or that such additional managers will have the requisite skills, knowledge or experience necessary to enhance the incumbent management. SELECTION OF A TARGET BUSINESS AND STRUCTURING OF A TARGET COMBINATION. Subject to the limitation that a Target Business be within the Target Industries, Management of the Company will have virtually unrestricted flexibility in identifying and selecting a prospective Target Business. In evaluating a prospective Target Business, Management will consider, among other factors, the following: - financial condition and results of operation; - growth potential; - experience and skill of management and availability of additional personnel; - capital requirements; - competitive position; - stage of development of the products, processes or services; - degree of current or potential market acceptance of the products, processes or services; - proprietary features and degree of intellectual property or other protection of the products, processes or services; - regulatory environment of the industry; and - costs associated with effecting the Business Combination. The foregoing criteria are not intended to be exhaustive; any evaluation relating to the merits of a particular Business Combination will be based, to the extent relevant, on the above factors as well as other considerations deemed relevant by Management in connection with effecting a Business Combination consistent with the Company's business objective. In connection with its evaluation of a prospective Target Business, Management anticipates that it will conduct an extensive due diligence review which will encompass, among other things, meetings with incumbent management and inspection of facilities, as well as review of financial or other information which will be made available to the Company. 38 The time and costs required to select and evaluate a Target Business (including conducting a due diligence review) and to structure and consummate the Business Combination (including negotiating relevant agreements and preparing requisite documents for filing pursuant to applicable securities laws and state corporation laws) cannot presently be ascertained with any degree of certainty. Mr. Burstein, the Company's President and principal stockholder, intends to devotecollective bargaining agreement. We currently occupy approximately 30% of his time to the affairs of the Company and, accordingly, consummation of a Business Combination may require a greater period of time than if such persons devoted their full time to the Company's affairs. Any costs incurred in connection with the identification and evaluation of a prospective Target Business with which a Business Combination is not ultimately consummated will result in a loss to the Company and reduce the amount of capital available to otherwise complete a Business Combination. PRIOR INVOLVEMENT OF PRINCIPALS IN "BLANK CHECK" COMPANIES The officers and directors of the Company (other than Mr. Norman Leben) have held similar positions in seven other "blank check" companies, each of which has consummated a Business Combination as of the date of this Prospectus. Certain information with respect to each such Business Combination is set forth below: TRADING DATE OF MARKET AND NAME OF TARGET BUSINESS TICKER BUSINESS COMBINATION NATURE OF BUSINESS SYMBOL - ---------------- ----------- ------------------ ------ Bloc Development NYSE Corp.(1) March 1988 Software development (GML) Polyvision Corporation April 1990 Manufacture and AMEX (PLI) sale of vision projec- tion systems, architectural building panels, modular partitions and catalog office products T-HQ Inc.

March 1996 Owner and operator NASDAQ of hamburger fast food SmallCap restaurants (BOBS) in Brazil - ------------ (1) Bloc Development Corp. was acquired by Global Direct Mail Corp. in 1995. SOURCES OF TARGET BUSINESSES The Company anticipates that various Target Business candidates will be brought to its attention from various unaffiliated sources, including securities broker-dealers, investment bankers, venture capitalists, bankers, other members of the financial community, and affiliated sources, including, possibly, the Company's officers, directors and their affiliates, who may present solicited or unsolicited proposals. While the Company does not presently anticipate engaging the services of professional firms that specialize in business acquisitions on any formal basis, the Company may engage such firms in the future, in which event the Company may pay a finder's fee or other compensation. In no event, however, will the Company pay a finder's fee or commission to officers or directors of the Company or any entity with which they are affiliated for such service. See "Management - Conflicts of Interest." COMPETITION In identifying, evaluating and selecting a Target Business, the Company expects to encounter intense competition from other entities having a business objective similar to that of the Company. Many of these entities are well established and have extensive experience in connection with identifying and effecting business combinations directly or through affiliates. Many of these competitors possess greater technical, human and/or other resources than the Company and the Company's financial resources will be relatively limited when contrasted with those of many of these competitors. This inherent competitive limitation may give others an advantage in pursuing the acquisition of certain Target 40 Businesses. Further, the Company's obligation to seek stockholder approval of a Business Combination may delay the consummation of a transaction; and the Company's obligation in certain circumstances to convert into cash shares of Common Stock held by Public Stockholders may reduce the resources available to the Company for a Business Combination or for other corporate purposes. Either of these obligations may place the Company at a competitive disadvantage in successfully negotiating a Business Combination. Management believes, however, that the Company's status as a public entity and its potential access to the United States public equity markets may give the Company a competitive advantage over privately-held entities having a similar business objective to that of the Company in acquiring a Target Business with significant growth potential on favorable terms. UNCERTAINTY OF COMPETITIVE ENVIRONMENT OF TARGET BUSINESS In the event that the Company succeeds in effecting a Business Combination, the Company will, in all likelihood, become subject to intense competition from competitors of the Target Business. In particular, certain industries which experience rapid growth frequently attract an increasingly larger number of competitors, including competitors with increasingly greater financial, marketing, technical and other resources than the initial competitors in the industry. The degree of competition characterizing the industry of any prospective Target Business cannot presently be ascertained. There can be no assurance that, subsequent to a Business Combination, the Company will have the resources to compete effectively, especially to the extent that the Target Business is in a high-growth industry. FACILITIES The Company presently occupies approximately 5007,200 square feet of office space in Campbell, California pursuant to a lease which expires in April 2000, but is renewable each year at our option until April 2006. We are required to vacate these premises occupied by Unity. The costthe end of February 2000 as the City of Campbell has acquired the building for such space is includedredevelopment. We anticipate no particular difficulty in locating and moving to new facilities in a $7,500-per-month fee chargedtimely fashion. The City of Campbell has agreed to pay us $85,000 to facilitate our relocation. We also occupy leased facilities in Bellevue, Washington, Concord, New Hampshire, and Reading, United Kingdom pursuant to leases expiring at varying dates through 2003. Annual lease payments currently are approximately $310,000. We believe our current facilities, other that those in Campbell, will be adequate to accommodate our needs until the end of 2000. Legal Proceedings In late 1996, we disclosed numerous aspects of our proprietary technology on a confidential basis to Insignia Solutions plc, some of whose assets were later acquired by UnityCitrix Systems, Inc. When we learned of that acquisition in January 1998, we made inquiry of Citrix and Insignia seeking assurances that there had been no potential misuse of our confidential information. On November 23, 1998, Citrix instituted litigation in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida seeking a judicial declaration that neither Citrix nor Insignia had misappropriated or infringed upon our proprietary technology or breached the non-disclosure agreement. We responded by filing a motion to dismiss the action for lack of jurisdiction. On May 14, 1999, the court granted our motion and dismissed the case. Essentially, the Florida court held there was no existing dispute between us and Citrix. Citrix has appealed the dismissal of its case to the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit, where the matter is awaiting oral argument. On October 4, 1999, Insignia filed a complaint against us in the Superior Court of the State of California, Santa Clara County, alleging that we had attempted to disrupt Insignia's sale to Citrix, on February 5, 1998, of assets related to Insignia's NTRIGUE software product line. 43 The complaint alleges that, as a result of such efforts, Insignia was required by Citrix to place $8.75 million in escrow to enable Citrix to deal with potential claims by us of proprietary rights in the assets being sold. The complaint seeks unspecified general and administrative services.punitive damages. On December 13, 1999 we filed an answer denying the material allegations in Insignia's complaint. Insignia's complaint also names Citrix and its UK subsidiary as defendants, alleging that these companies have breached their February 5, 1998 contract with Insignia by refusing to release money from the escrow. The Company believes, based upon rentscomplaint seeks compensatory damages from Citrix related to that company's refusal to release purchase money from escrow for payment to Insignia and feesother unspecified damages. 44 MANAGEMENT General The following table sets forth information regarding our executive officers, directors and other key employees:

Additionally, management will provide the Public Stockholders with audited financial statements (prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles) of the prospective Target Business as part of the proxy solicitation materials sent to the Public Stockholders to assist them in assessing the Target Business. Management believes that the requirement of having available audited financial statements for the Target Business will not materially limit the pool of potential Target Businesses available for acquisition. 42 MANAGEMENT DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS The current directors and officers of the Company are as follows: NAME AGE POSITION ---- --- -------- Lawrence Burstein 53 President, Treasurer and Director John Cattier 62 Director Barry Ridings 43 Director Norman Leben 36 Secretary and Director LAWRENCE BURSTEIN has been President, Treasurer andAdministration at Varian Data Machines.

Pursuant to a severance agreement with Mr. Podolski, we paid him $75,000 in consideration for the release of any and all claims he may have had against us. 50 Employment Agreements On October 22, 1998, we entered into employment agreements with Mr. Keller and Ms. Ford which provide for a term of two years, annual base salaries of $140,000 and $130,000, respectively, and eligibility to receive bonuses at the discretion of our board. Such agreements contain provisions for bonuses upon achievement of milestones set forth in such agreements, non-competition for the term of each agreement and confidentiality. The base salaries are subject to change at the discretion of our board. Mr. Keller and Ms. Ford also are entitled to participate in any of our pension, insurance or benefit plans, including our stock option plans. Each employment agreement also provides for a severance payment in the amount of one year's compensation in the event that the employee is terminated by us without cause, or the employee resigns for Good Reason (as defined in the agreement) during the employment term. Good Reason includes, among other things, the failure of a successor to us to assume the employment agreements in connection with change in control transactions such as a merger, consolidation or a sale of all or substantially all of our assets. Good Reason also includes substantial changes in the duties, position, compensation and location of the employment.

The plan was adopted by our board on June 23, 1998 and was approved by our stockholders on June 23, 1998. Pursuant to the terms of the plan, 2,230,400 shares of common stock may be issued to our officers and other employees, our non-employee board members and independent consultants in our service. However, in no event may any one participant in the plan receive option grants or 51 direct stock issuances for more than 278,000 shares of common stock in the aggregate per calendar year. The shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the plan are made available from authorized but unissued common stock or from shares of common stock reacquired by us, including shares repurchased on the open market. Should an option expire or terminate for any reason prior to exercise in full, the shares subject to the portion of the option not so exercised will be available for subsequent issuance under the plan. Unvested shares issued under the plan and subsequently repurchased by us will be added back to the share reserve and will accordingly be available for subsequent issuance under the plan. The compensation committee of the board will have exclusive authority to administer the plan with respect to option grants and stock issuances made to our executive officers and non-employee board members. The compensation committee and a secondary committee of one or more board members will each have separate but concurrent authority to make option grants and stock issuances under those programs to all other eligible individuals. The term "plan administrator," as used in this description of the plan, will mean either the compensation committee or the secondary committee, to the extent each such entity is acting in its capacity as administrator of the plan. The plan is divided into two separate components: . the option grant program under which eligible individuals may, at the discretion of the Board. Mr. Burstein intendsplan administrator, be granted options to devote approximately 30%purchase shares of his time tocommon stock at an exercise price not less than 85% of their fair market value on the affairsgrant date and . the stock issuance program under which such individuals may, in the discretion of the Company. The Company hasplan administrator, be issued shares of common stock directly, through the purchase of vested or unvested shares at a price not entered into employment agreements with anyless than 85% of its officers. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION No officer has received any cash compensation fromtheir fair market value at the Company since inceptiontime of issuance or as a fully-vested bonus for services rendered. Other than the $7,500 monthly administrative fee, no compensation of any kind (including finders and consulting fees) will be paid to any Initial Stockholder, or any affiliate thereof forpast services rendered to us. The shares subject to each option granted under the Company prioroption grant program and unvested shares issued under the stock issuance program will vest in one or more installments over the recipient's period of service with us. However, no vesting schedule will be at a rate less than 20% per year, with the initial vesting to occur no later than one year after the grant date of the option or the issue date of the unvested shares. No granted option may have a term in excess of ten years, and each granted option will be subject to earlier termination within a designated period following the optionee's cessation of service with us. 52 The exercise price may be paid in cash or in shares of common stock. Options may also be exercised for vested shares through a same-day sale program, pursuant to which a designated brokerage firm effects the immediate sale of those shares and pays over to us, out of the sale proceeds available on the settlement date, sufficient funds to cover the exercise price for the purchased shares. In addition, the plan administrator may provide financial assistance to one or more participants in connection with the exercise of their outstanding options or the purchase of their unvested shares by allowing such individuals to deliver a full-recourse, interest-bearing promissory note in payment of the exercise or purchase price and any associated withholding taxes incurred in connection with such exercise or purchase. In the event that we are acquired by merger or sale of substantially all of our assets, each outstanding option under the option grant program which is not to be assumed by the successor corporation or otherwise continued in effect will automatically accelerate in full, and all unvested shares under the plan will immediately vest, except to the extent our repurchase rights with respect to those shares are assigned to the successor corporation or otherwise continued in effect. The plan administrator will have complete discretion to grant one or more options under the option grant program which will become exercisable on an accelerated basis for all of the option shares upon either: . an acquisition of us, whether or not those options are assumed or otherwise continued in effect or . the termination of the optionee's service within a designated period following an acquisition in which those options are assumed or continued in effect. The vesting of outstanding shares under the stock issuance program may be accelerated upon similar terms and conditions. The plan administrator also is authorized under the option grant and stock issuance programs to grant options and to structure repurchase rights so that the shares subject to those options or repurchase rights will immediately vest in connection with a change in ownership or control of us, whether by successful tender offer for more than 50% of the outstanding voting stock or by a change in the majority of the board by reason of one or more contested elections for board membership. Such accelerated vesting may occur either at the time of such change in ownership or control or upon the subsequent involuntary termination of the individual's service within a designated period, not to exceed 18 months, following such change in ownership or control. In the event any change is made to the outstanding shares of common stock by reason of any recapitalization, stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares, exchange of shares or 53 other change in corporate structure effected without our receipt of consideration, appropriate adjustments will be made to: . the maximum number and/or class of securities issuable under the plan; . the number and/or class of securities for which any one person may be granted stock options and direct stock issuances under the plan per calendar year; and . the number and/or class of securities and the exercise price per share in effect under each outstanding option. Such adjustments will be designed to preclude any dilution or enlargement of benefits under the plan or the outstanding options granted pursuant to the plan. The plan administrator has the authority to effect the cancellation of outstanding options under the option grant program in return for the grant of new options for the same or different number of option shares with an exercise price per share based upon the fair market value of the common stock on the new grant date. The board may amend or modify the plan at any time. The plan will terminate on June 22, 2007, unless sooner terminated by the board or in connection with the Business Combination; provided, however, that such persons shall be entitled to receive, upon consummationan acquisition of the Business Combination, commissions for monies raised by them for the Companyus in connection with the Business Combination, at rates that are no less favorable to the Company than those which the Company would pay to unaffiliated third parties. In addition,plan is not assumed by the Affiliated Initial Stockholders will receive reimbursement for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on behalf of the Company. There is no limit on the amount of such reimbursable expenses and there will be no review of the reasonableness of such expenses by anyone other than the Board of Directors which includes two members who are officers and who may seek reimbursement.

In the course of 45 their other business activities, certain of the Company's officers and directors may become aware of investment and business opportunities which may be appropriate for presentationNovember 12, 1996 to the Company as well as the other entities with which they are affiliated. Such persons may have conflicts of interest in determining to which entity a particular business opportunity should be presented. In order to reduce potential conflicts of interest, the Company's officers and directors have agreed that they will offer all suitable prospective Target Businesses to the Company before any other company until the earlier of a Business Combination or the liquidation of the Company. In general, officers and directors of a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware are required to present certain business opportunities to such corporation. Under Delaware law, officers and directors generally are required to bring business opportunities to the attention of such corporation if: such corporation could financially undertake the opportunity; the opportunity is within the corporation's line of business; and it would not be fair to the corporation and its stockholders for the opportunity not to be brought to the attention of such corporation. Accordingly, as a result of multiple business affiliations, certain of the Company's officers and directors may have similar legal obligations relating to presenting certain business opportunities to multiple entities. In addition, conflicts of interest may arisecover expenses incurred by us in connection with evaluations of a particular business opportunity by the Board of Directors with respect to the foregoing criteria. There can be no assurance that anyour initial public offering. We repaid these loans out of the foregoing conflicts will be resolved in favorproceeds of the Company. See "Proposed Business - 'Blank Check' Offering - Selection of a Target Business and Structuring of a Business Combination." In order to minimize potential conflicts of interest which may arise from multiple corporate affiliations, each of Messrs. Burstein, Leben and Cattier have agreed in principle to present to the Company for its consideration, prior to presentation to any other entity, any business opportunity which, under Delaware law, may reasonably be required to be presented to the Company.

Underwriters' IPO Securities In connection with our initial public offering, we sold to the occurrence of a Business Combination.

F-6 UNITY FIRST ACQUISITION CORP. (a development stage entity) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS Unity First Acquisition Corp.GraphOn Corporation Summary of Accounting Policies Organization and Business GraphOn Corporation (the "Company")Company) was incorporated in the Statestate of Delaware onCalifornia in May 30, 1996, for the purpose of raising capital which is to be used to effect a business combination (the "Business Combination").1982 and has headquarters in Campbell, California. The Company is currently in the development stage. All activitydevelops, markets, sells and supports server-based software that empowers a diverse range of the Companydesktop computing devices (desktops) to date relates to its formationaccess server-based Windows and proposed fund raising. Management has elected a July 31 fiscal year-end for the Company. The Company's ability to commence operations is contingent upon obtaining financing through a public offering (the "Proposed Offering")UNIX applications from any location, over network or Internet connections. Use of the Company's common stock (the "Common Stock"). Note 2 discusses the details of the Proposed Offering. The Proposed Offering can be considered a "blind pool." Blind pool offerings are inherently characterized by an absence of substantive disclosures relating to the use of the net proceeds of the offering. Consequently, although substantially all of the proceeds of the Proposed Offering are intended to be utilized to effect a Business Combination, the proceeds are not specifically designated for this purpose. Upon completion of this Proposed Offering, 90% of the net proceeds, after payment of underwriting discounts and commissions and the underwriter's non- accountable expense allowance, will be held in an interest-bearing trust account ("Trust Account") until the earlier of (1) written notification by the Company of its need for all or substantially all of such net proceeds for the purpose of implementing a Business Combination, or (2) the liquidation of the Company in the event that the Company does not effect a Business Combination within 18 months from the consummation of the offering. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company enters into a letter of intent, an agreement in principle or a definitive agreement to effectuate a Business Combination prior to the expiration of such 18-month period, the Company's Certificate of Incorporation provides that the Company will be afforded up to an additional 6 months following the expiration of the initial 18-month period to consummate such Business Transaction. Moreover, since the Company has not yet identified an acquisition target (the "Target") investors in the Proposed Offering will have virtually no substantive information available for advance consideration of any specified Business Combination. F-7 UNITY FIRST ACQUISITION CORP. (a development stage entity) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS (CONT'D) The Proposed Offering is not being conducted in accordance with Rule 419 which was adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") to strengthen the regulation of securities offered by "blank check" companies. A blank check company is defined as (a) a development stage company that has no specific business plan or has indicated that its business plan is to engage in a merger or acquisition with an unidentified company and (b) a company which issues securities that, among other things, (i) are not quoted in the NASDAQ system, or, (ii) in the case of a company which has been in continuous operation for less than three years, has net tangible assets of less than $5,000,000. Although the Company is a "blank check" company, it does not believe that Rule 419 will be applicable to it in view of the fact that upon its receipt of the net proceeds of this offering, the Company's net tangible assets will exceed $5,000,000. Accordingly, investors in this offering will not receive the substantive protection provided by Rule 419. Additionally, there can be no assurances that the United States Congress will not enact legislation which will prohibit or restrict the sale of securities of "blank check" companies. As a result of its limited resources, the Company will, in all likelihood, have the ability to effect only a single Business Combination. Accordingly, the prospects for the Company's success will be entirely dependent upon the future performance of a single business. The Company will not effect a Business Combination unless the fair market value of the Target, as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in its sole discretion, based upon valuation standards generally accepted by the financial community including, among others, book value, cash flow, and both actual and potential earnings, is at least equal to 80% of the net assets (assets less liabilities) of the Company at the time of such acquisition. Upon the completion of this offering, the Company will not satisfy the criteria for qualifying its securities in the NASDAQ system. The Company's securities will be traded in the over-the-counter market. It is anticipated that they will be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, an NASD sponsored and operated inter-dealer automated quotation system for equity securities not included in The NASDAQ Stock Market, as well as in the NQB Pink Sheets published by National Quotation Bureau Incorporated. The OTC Bulletin Board was introduced as an alternative to "pink sheet" trading of over-the-counter securities. Although the Company believes that the OTC Bulletin Board has been recognized by the brokerage community as an acceptable alternative to the NQB Pink Sheets, there can be no assurance that the liquidity and prices of the Units in the secondary market will not be adversely affected. F-8 UNITY FIRST ACQUISITION CORP. (a development stage entity) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS (CONT'D) Furthermore, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination. As discussed previously, if the Company is unable to effect a Business Combination within 24 months of the consummation of the Proposed Offering, the Company's Certificate of Incorporation provides for the Company's automatic liquidation. In the event of liquidation, the per share value of the residual assets remaining available for distribution may be less than the initial public offer price per share in the Proposed Offering. In no event, however, will the Company's liquidation value be less than the amount in the Trust Account, inclusive of any net interest income thereon. Moreover, all of the Company's present stockholders have agreed to waive their respective rights to participate in any such liquidation distribution on shares owned prior to the Proposed Offering. If the Company is unable to acquire control of an operating business or businesses, it may be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Act"). The Company is unable to predict what effect registration under such Act would have, but it believes that its ability to pursue its current business plan could be adversely affected as a result. The most significant difference with respect to financial statement presentation and disclosure requirements for companies registered under the Act would require the investments held by the Company to be adjusted to market value at the balance sheet date. The Company believes that its anticipated principal activities, which will involve acquiring control of an operating company, will not subject the Company to regulation under the Act. F-9 UNITY FIRST ACQUISITION CORP. (a development stage entity) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 2. PROPOSED PUBLIC OFFERING OF SECURITIES The Proposed Offering calls for the Company to offer for public sale up to 1,250,000 units (the "Units") at a price of $6.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one share of the Company's Common Stock, $.0001 par value, one Class A Redeemable Warrant and one Class B Redeemable Warrant. Each Class A Redeemable Warrant and Class B Redeemable Warrant entitles the holder to purchase from the Company one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $5.50 and $7.50, respectively, commencing on the later of (i) the consummation of a Business Combination, or (ii) one year from the effective date of the Prospectus and ending six years after the effective date of the Proposed Offering (the "Effective Date"). The Class A Redeemable Warrants and Class B Redeemable Warrants will be redeemable at the option of the Company, and with the consent of the underwriter of the Proposed Offering (the "Underwriter") each as a class, in whole and not in part, upon 30 days' notice at any time after the Redeemable Warrants become exercisable, only in the event that the closing bid price of the Common Stock is at least $8.50 per share with respect to the Class A Redeemable Warrant(s), and $10.50 with respect to the Class B Redeemable Warrants for 20 consecutive trading days immediately prior to notice of redemption, at a price of $.05 per Class A Redeemable Warrant or Class B Redeemable Warrant. The warrants will become separable and transferable only upon consummation of a Business Combination. F-10 UNITY FIRST ACQUISITION CORP. (a development stage entity) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 2. PROPOSED PUBLIC OFFERING OF SECURITIES (CONT'D) The Company has granted the Underwriter an option, exercisable within 45 business days from the Effective Date, to purchase up to 187,500 additional Units at $6.00 per Unit. This option is solely for the purpose of covering over-allotments. In connection with the Proposed Offering, the Company will sell to the Underwriter and its designees, for nominal consideration, Unit Purchase Option(s) (the "Underwriter's UPO") to purchase up to 125,000 Units at an exercise price of $6.60 per Unit. The Underwriter's UPO's will be exercisable for a period of four years commencing one year from the Effective Date. The Company has granted its executive officers and directors 200,000 warrants (50% Class A Warrants and 50% Class B Warrants, collectively the "Directors' Warrants") to purchase Common Stock at $5.50 and $7.50, respectively, per share in consideration of future services to be rendered on behalf of the Company. The Directors' Warrants are not exercisable until the consummation by the Company of a Business Combination and are not redeemable by the Company. All of the Company's present stockholders have agreed to vote their respective shares of Common Stock in accordance with the vote of the majority of all nonaffiliated future stockholders of the Company with respect to a Business Combination. In addition, the Common Stock owned by all of the executive officers and directors of the Company, their affiliates and by all persons owning 5% or more of the currently outstanding shares of Common Stock has been placed in escrow until the earlier of (i) the occurrence of a Business Combination, or (ii) the Liquidation Date. During the escrow period, such stockholders will not be able to sell or otherwise transfer their respective shares of Common Stock, but retain all other rights as stockholders of the Company, including, without limitation, the right to vote such shares of Common Stock. As of July 31, 1996, the Company has recorded deferred registration costs of $250,000 relating to various expenses incurred and accrued for in connection with the Proposed Offering. Upon consummation of the Proposed Offering, these costs will be charged to equity. Should the Proposed Offering prove to be unsuccessful, these deferred costs, as well as any other additional expenses that may be incurred, will be charged to operations. F-11 UNITY FIRST ACQUISITION CORP. (a development stage entity) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES UTILIZATION OF ESTIMATESEstimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. NET INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE Net income (loss) per common share is computed based on the weighted average numberCash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of common shares outstanding and common stock equivalents, if not anti-dilutive. NOTE 4. CAPITAL STOCKthree months or less to be cash equivalents. Marketable Securities The Company's Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of 20,000,000 shares of Common Stock. Upon completion of the Proposed Offering (assuming no exercise of the Underwriter's over-allotment option), there will be 14,862,500 authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock availableCompany accounts for issuance (after appropriate reserves for the issuance of Common Stockinvestments in connection with the Class A Redeemable Warrants and Class B Redeemable Warrants, the Underwriters's UPO's, the executive officers and director Class A Warrants and Class B Warrants, and the future grantsmarketable securities under the Company's 1996 Stock Option Plan). The Company's Boardprovisions of Directors has the power to issue any or all of the future grants under the Company's 1996 Stock Option Plan. The Company's Board of Directors has the power to issue any or all of the authorized but unissued Common Stock without stockholder approval. The Company currently has no commitments to issue any shares of Common Stock other than as described in the Proposed Offering; however, the Company will, in all likelihood, issue a substantial number of additional shares in connection with a Business Combination. To the extent that additional shares of Common Stock are issued, dilution to the interests of the Company's stockholders participating in the Proposed Offering will occur. The Board of Directors of the Company is empowered, without stockholder approval, to issue up to 5,000 shares of "blank check" preferred stock (the "Preferred Stock") with dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting or other rights which could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of the Company's Common Stock. F-12 UNITY FIRST ACQUISITION CORP. (a development stage entity) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS The Chairman of the Board of Directors and the President of the Company are principal shareholders, officers and directors of Unity Venture Capital Associates Ltd. ("Unity") which owns shares in the Company. Beginning June 1, 1996, commensurate with the Company's activities primarily related to the Proposed Offering, the Company will be obligated to pay Unity a monthly fee of $7,500 for general and administrative services, including the use of office space in premises occupied by Unity. At July 31, 1996, the Company owed $15,000 (included in advances from affiliate on the balance sheet) to Unity for administrative services. Through July 31, 1996, the Company has obtained advances totaling $25,500 from Unity to cover expenses related to the Proposed Offering which are included in advances from affiliate on the balance sheet. These advances are due on demand and are expected to be repaid out of the proceeds of the Proposed Offering. At July 31, 1996, a member of the Company's legal counsel owned 6,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock. NOTE 6. STOCK OPTION PLAN On May 30, 1996, the Company's Board of Directors approved a stock option plan (the "Plan"). The Plan, which is subject to shareholder approval, provides for issuance of up to 187,500 options (the "Options") to acquire shares of the Company's Common Stock. The Options are intended to qualify either as incentive stock options ("Incentive Stock Options") within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 or as options which are not intended to meet the requirements of such section ("Nonstatutory Stock Options"). The Options may be granted under the Plan to persons who, in the case of Incentive Stock Options, are key employees (including officers) of the Company, or, in the case of Nonstatutory Stock Options, are key employees (including officers) and nonemployee directors of the Company, except that Nonstatutory Stock Options may not be granted to a holder of more than 10% of the total voting power of the Company. F-13 UNITY FIRST ACQUISITION CORP. (a development stage entity) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 6. STOCK OPTION PLAN (CONT'D) The exercise price of all Incentive Stock Options granted under the Plan must be at least equal to the fair market value of such shares on the date of grant or, in the case of Incentive Stock Options granted to the holder of 10% or more of the Company's Common Stock, at least 110% of the fair market value of such shares on the date of grant. The exercise price of all Nonstatutory Stock Options granted under the Plan shall be determined by the Board of Directors of the Company at the time of grant. The maximum exercise period for which the Options may be granted is ten years from the date of grant (five years in the case of Incentive Stock Options granted to an individual owning more than 10% of the Company's Common Stock). The aggregate fair market value (determined at the date of the option grant) of such shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by the holder of the option during any calendar year shall not exceed $100,000. The FASB issued StatementStatements of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, "Accounting115, Accounting for Stock Based Compensation" ("Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities. Under SFAS 123"), which will require companiesNo. 115, securities are classified and accounted for as follows: - Debt securities that the enterprise has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held-to-maturity securities and reported at amortized cost. - Debt and equity securities that are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term are classified as trading securities and reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses included in earnings. - Debt and equity securities not classified as either to reflect in their financial statementsheld-to-maturity securities or reflecttrading securities are classified as supplemental disclosure the impact onavailable-for-sale securities and reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and earnings per sharereported in a separate component of shareholders' equity. Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets, generally three to seven years. Amortization of leasehold improvements is calculated using the straight-line method over the lesser of the lease term or useful lives of the respective asset, generally seven years. Purchased Technology Purchased technology is to be amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the related technology or five years, whichever is less. Capitalized Software Costs Costs incurred internally in creating computer software products to be sold, leased, or otherwise marketed are charged to expense when incurred as research and development until technological feasibility has been established for the product. Thereafter, such costs are capitalized until the product is available for general release to customers and amortized based on either estimated current and future F-7 revenue for each product or straight-line amortization over the shorter of three years or the remaining estimated life of the product, whichever produces the higher expense for the period. As of December 31, 1998 and 1997, capitalized costs aggregated $113,000 and $59,800, with accumulated amortization of $38,800 and $16,600. For the three months ended March 31, 1999, no additional costs had been capitalized and accumulated amortization aggregated $48,200. Revenue Recognition and Deferred Revenue In October 1997, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) issued Statement of Position (SOP) 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, which generally requires revenue earned on software arrangements involving multiple elements to be allocated to each element arrangement based on the relative fair values of the elements. If there is no evidence of the fair value for all the elements in a multiple element arrangement all revenue from the arrangement is deferred until such evidence exists or until all elements are delivered. In accordance with SOP 97-2, the Company recognizes revenue from the sale of stock based compensation using certain pricing modelssoftware licenses when all the following conditions are met: the software has been shipped to the customer, no significant obligations remain, and collection is probable. Revenue from sale of maintenance agreements is recognized ratably over the term of the agreement. OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) licenses revenue is generally recognized as deliveries are made or at the completion of contractual billing milestones. Deferred revenue, resulting from maintenance and license agreements, aggregated $112,600 and $443,800 as of December 31, 1998 and 1997. Advertising Costs The cost of advertising is expensed as incurred. Advertising costs for the option component of stock option plans. As of Julyyears ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996 no options have been granted underand for the Plan. Disclosure, as required by SFAS 123, will be made upon the issuance of options. NOTE 7. INCOME TAXESthree month period ended March 31, 1999, were approximately $58,400, $60,000, $0, and $109,600, respectively. Income Taxes Income taxes are accountedcalculated using the liability method of accounting for in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standardsincome taxes specified by SFAS No. 109, "AccountingAccounting for Income Taxes." Under this method, deferred Deferred income taxes are determined based onrecognized for the tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial statements and income tax bases of assets, and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each year end, and are measured based oncarryforwards using enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.rates. Valuation allowances are established when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. NOTE 8. CONTINGENCYRealization is dependent upon future pre-tax earnings, the reversal of temporary differences between book and tax income, and the expected tax rates in effect in future periods. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating its fair value disclosures for financial instruments: Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amount reported in the balance sheet for cash and cash equivalents approximate fair value. Investment securities: The fair values of marketable debt and equity securities are based on quoted market prices. Short-term debt: The fair value of short-term debt is estimated based on current interest notes available to the Company for debt instruments with similar terms and maturities. F-8 As of December 31, 1998 and 1997, the fair values of the Company's financial instruments approximate their historical carrying amounts. Long-Lived Assets Long-lived assets are assessed for possible impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable, or whenever management has committed to a plan to dispose of the assets. Such assets are carried at the lower of book value or fair value as estimated by management based on appraisals, current market value, comparable sales value, and undiscounted future cash flows as appropriate. Assets to be held and used affected by such impairment loss are depreciated or amortized at their new carrying amount over the remaining estimated life; assets to be sold or otherwise disposed of are not subject to further depreciation or amortization. Stock-Based Incentive Programs SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, encourages entities to recognize compensation costs for stock-based employee compensation plans using the fair value based method of accounting defined in SFAS No. 123, but allows for the continued use of the intrinsic value based method of accounting prescribed by Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. The Company has agreedcontinues to indemnifyuse the Underwriter againstaccounting prescribed by APB Opinion No. 25 and as such is required to disclose pro forma net income and earnings per share as if the fair value based method of accounting had been applied. Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements In February 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 132, Employer's Disclosure about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits, which standardizes the disclosure requirements for pension and other postretirement benefits. The adoption of SFAS No. 132 did not have a material impact the Company's current disclosures. In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS No. 133 requires companies to recognize all derivatives contracts as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and to measure them at fair value. If certain liabilities, including liabilities underconditions are met, a derivative may be specifically designated as a hedge, the Securities Act. Theobjective of which is to match the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging derivative with the recognition of (i) the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk or (ii) the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transaction. For a derivative not designated as a hedging instrument, the gain or loss is recognized in income in the period of change. SFAS No. 133 is effective for all fiscal years beginning June 15, 2000. Historically, the Company has also agreednot entered into derivatives contracts either to payhedge existing risks or for speculative purposes. Accordingly, the Company does not expect adoption of the new standard on July 1, 1999 to affect its financial statements. Earnings Per Common Share In February 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share, which was effective December 28, 1997. Conforming to SFAS No. 128, the Company changed its method of computing earnings per share and restated all prior periods included in the financial statements. Under SFAS No. 128, the dilutive effect of stock options is excluded from the calculation of basic earnings per share. Reclassifications Certain amounts in the 1997 financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the 1996 and 1998 presentation. F-9 GraphOn Corporation Notes to Financial Statements 1.

5. Convertible Note Payable In March 1998 the Company issued a convertible note payable for $475,000 to an expense allowanceaffiliate (the Agent Affiliate) of the placement agent dated September 2, 1998 for the Company's subsequent private placement offering of common stock (the Offering). The convertible note bears interest at 10% and is due upon the earlier date of the Company raising between $2,500,000 and $3,000,000 in the Offering or six months after its commencement. The note is convertible into shares of common stock at $1.00 per share at the option of the note holder (Note 13). In September 1998, the Agent Affiliate and the Company's CEO loaned $200,000 and $100,000, respectively, to the Company pursuant to convertible promissory notes bearing interest at 8% per annum, which mature at the earlier of the first closing of the Offering or 12 months from the date of the notes. Such notes, at the option of the lender, may be converted into shares of common stock at $1.00 per share. In connection with this transaction, the Agent Affiliate and CEO were issued warrants to purchase 100,000 and 50,000 shares, respectively, at $1.00 per share (Note 6). On December 31, 1998, the loan by the Agent Affiliate was converted into 200,000 shares of common stock. Also on December 31, 1998, the Company repaid the $100,000 loan from the CEO, plus accrued interest. F-11 GraphOn Corporation Notes to Financial Statements (Continued) 6. Stockholders' Equity Prior Bankruptcy In November 1991, the Company filed a non- accountable basis equalVoluntary Petition for Relief under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. At that time, the Company had indebtedness in excess of $2.3 million and had 1,624,940 voting shares of common stock outstanding. In July 1994, the Company's plan of reorganization under Chapter 11 (the Reorganization Plan) was confirmed. At the time of the confirmation of the Reorganization Plan, all shares of stock, options, and warrants outstanding were canceled. In addition, the Reorganization Plan provided for the issuance of 100 shares of the Company's reorganized common stock in exchange for waiver of certain unsecured claims against the Company by its then, and current, CEO. In addition, all administrative claims, priority claims, and allowed claims in the administrative convenience class (generally, those under $200) were paid in full. Unsecured creditors are to 3%receive payment of 50% of the gross proceeds derivedroyalties received by the Company from certain licensees up to the amount of their total liability, through the year 2000. However, the largest unsecured creditor will receive payments of 50% of the gross royalties received by the Company from the revenue from certain licensees until its claim is paid in full. The remaining 50% of the gross royalties received by the Company from these certain licensees was available to the Company to conduct its ongoing operations. As of December 31, 1998, the Company does not expect to pay any additional significant amounts under the Reorganization Plan. Accordingly, the amounts are treated as included in the relief of debt as part of the bankruptcy confirmed in 1994. The Company believes that its royalty payment obligations under the bankruptcy court order relate only to licenses in place as of July 11, 1994. However, there is no assurance that the court will not interpret the obligation of the Company to include making payments from royalties earned from subsequent licenses or licenses that it may secure in the future, or that its current technology will not be deemed derivative of its technology existing at July 11, 1994. Consequently, there can be no assurance that the Company will not be required to repay the creditors referenced in the bankruptcy proceedings to the full amount of its liability of approximately $2,230,000. In addition, there is no guarantee that a creditor will not attempt to assert a claim for royalties from subsequent licenses, which could be costly and could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition, and/or results of operations. Common Stock In January 1998, the CEO personally sold 440,016 shares of his stock to various employees and directors of the Company at a price of $0.02, the then fair market value of the stock, and in May and August, 193,238 additional shares at $0.075. The ownership of these shares vest over approximately four years with the CEO having the right to repurchase non-vested shares upon termination of employment. In May 1998, the Company issued and sold 508,500 shares under the Stock Grant Program, at $0.075 and granted 20,000 options, under Stock Option Plan, at $0.075 to employees of the Company which also vest over a four year period. The shares sold and options granted from March 1998 forward were ascribed a fair market value of $1.00 per share, the price at which the Company offered its shares through a private placement stock offering in September 1998. The Company recognized $667,600 in deferred compensation expense associated with the sale of the Units underwritten (includingabove securities, to be amortized over the vesting period of the underlying securities.

During 1998, the Company recognized interest expenses of $475,000 relating to this transaction. In July 1998, the Company's Board of Directors declared a 60,000 to 1 stock split. All references to number of shares and per share data in the financial statements have been adjusted to reflect the stock split on a retroactive basis. In September 1998, the Company offered shares of its common stock through a private placement stock offering (the Offering). The Offering established a minimum and maximum offering of 2,500,000 and 4,500,000 shares of common stock, respectively, at $1.00 per share, plus an additional 675,000 shares in the event of over-subscriptions. As part of the Offering, the placement agent received warrants to purchase 20,000 shares of common stock at $1.00 per share for each 100,000 shares sold through the Offering.

Such preemptive rights do not apply to any securities issued pursuant to options, warrants and rights and option plans existing at the time of the first closing. The investors who purchased common stock in connection with the second closing of the Offering, as well as certain of the First Closing Investors who agreed to amend their rights, hold the same right except that such right does not apply to securities issued by the Company in connection with, or in consideration of, (i) the Company's acquisition of another corporation or entity by consolidation, merger, purchase of all or substantially all of the assets or other business combination in which the Company is the surviving entity, provided such issuance is approved by a majority of the Board of Directors or (ii) any equipment or real property lease, loan, credit line, guaranty of indebtedness or acquisition of assets, other than cash but including intellectual property or other intangible assets.

The notes bear interest at 6%, payable quarterly, and are secured by the underlying pledged shares. The CEO and Executive Vice President retained voting privilege on these shares until fully paid for, and said shares revert back to the CEO and Executive Vice President in case of default by the Agent Affiliate. In December 1998, the Company issued 3,886,503 shares of common stock with an ascribed value of $3,886,500, and granted warrants to purchase 388,650 shares of common stock at $1.00 in exchange for certain fixed assets and technology.

During the three months ended March 31, 1999, the Company granted 748,500 stock options at an average exercise price of $0.85 per share, which represented 85% of the estimated fair market value of the stock. The following table summarizes information about stock options outstanding as of December 31, 1998:

SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-based Compensation, requires the Company to provide pro forma information regarding net (loss) income and (loss) earnings per share as if compensation cost for the Company's stock option plan had been determined in accordance with the fair value based method prescribed in SFAS No.123. The Company estimates the fair value of stock options at the grant date by using the Black-Scholes option pricing-model with the following weighted average assumptions used for grants in 1998: dividend yield of 0; expected volatility of 112%; risk-free interest rate of 5.7%; and expected lives of three years for all plan options. Under the accounting provisions of SFAS No. 123, the Company's pro forma net loss would have been $2,137,900, and the basic net loss per common share would have remained unchanged at $0.32. 7. Income Taxes The provision for income taxes for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996 and for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998 consist of minimum state taxes. F-15 GraphOn Corporation Notes to Financial Statements (Continued) 7. Income Taxes (Continued) The following summarizes the differences between income tax expense and the amount computed applying the federal income tax rate of 34%:

Deferred income taxes and benefits result from temporary timing differences in the recognition of certain expenses and income items for tax and financial reporting purposes, as follows:
December 31, ---------------------- 1998 1997 ---------- --------- Net operating loss carryforward.................................................. $ 1,038,800 $ 452,900 Tax credit carryforward.......................................................... 112,100 22,800 Capitalized software.............................................................

The Company has net operating loss carryforwards available to reduce future taxable income, if any, of approximately $2,780,800 for Federal income tax purposes. The benefits from these carryforwards expire through 2018. As of December 31, 1998, management believes it cannot be determined that it is more likely than not that these carryforwards and its other deferred tax assets will be realized, and accordingly, fully reserved for these deferred tax assets. In 1998 the Company experienced a "change of ownership" as defined by the provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986. As such, the Company's utilization of its net operating loss carryforwards will be limited to approximately $400,000 per year until such carryforwards are fully utilized. F-16 GraphOn Corporation Notes to Financial Statements (Continued) 8. Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk, consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, investments and trade receivables.

Available-for-sale securities are held in public companies for which there is a ready market. The Company's accounts receivable are derived from many customers in various industries. The Company believes any risk of accounting loss is significantly reduced due to the diversity of its end-customers and geographic sales areas. The Company performs credit evaluation of its customers' financial condition whenever necessary, and generally does not require cash collateral or any other person has been authorizedsecurity to give any informationsupport customer receivables. 9. Major Customers For the year ended December 31, 1998, three customers accounted for approximately 29%, 21% and 17% of revenues, respectively with related accounts receivable as of December 31, 1998 of $0, $500,000 and $0, respectively.

The facility leases require the Company to pay certain maintenance and operating expenses, such as taxes, insurance, and utilities. Rent expense for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996 aggregated $48,300, $17,120 and $14,900, respectively. Rent expense for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998 aggregated $76,400 and $12,100, respectively. Future minimum annual lease payments for these leases are as follows: Year Ending December 31, ------------------------ 1999.......................................................... $261,600 2000.......................................................... 256,900 2001.......................................................... 194,000 -------- $712,500 ========

Commitments (Continued) Royalty Agreements The Company licenses essential components (Developed Technology) of its core technology from three different parties (collectively, Software Developers) to whom it pays royalties pursuant to three different exclusive license agreements (Technology Agreements). Certain minor elements of the Company's technology (Nonexclusive Technology) are also licensed from the Software Developers pursuant to non-exclusive agreements (Nonexclusive Agreements). The Technology Agreements and the Nonexclusive Agreements call for royalty payments to the Software Developers. Such royalty payments are based on a percentage of net revenues (Royalty Rate) received by the Company for sales of the Company's products that contain the Developed Technology. The Royalty Rate is 4.8% and 2.9% for 1999 and 2000, respectively. The Company also holds an option to purchase the Developed Technology, and to purchase a perpetual license to the Nonexclusive Technology from the Software Developers, which is exercisable beginning in December 2000, for an aggregate of $6,000 plus the difference between royalties paid to date and certain minimum royalty payments. If the Company does not exercise its option, the Royalty Rate would continue at 2.0% with respect to the Developed Technology. The Technology Agreements and the Nonexclusive Agreements also call for lump sum payments by the Company in the event of a change in control transaction, defined as a sale of all or to make any representations other than those contained in this Prospectus, and, if givensubstantially all of the Company's assets or made, such informationa merger or representations must not be relied on as having been authorizedreorganization with another business entity after which the shareholders of the Company hold 50% or less of the total equity or voting power of the surviving entity. The payments are based upon a percentage of the total consideration received by the Company or payable to its shareholders in such a transaction (Transaction Rate). The Transaction Rate would be 4.8% and 2.9% if the change in control transaction occurs in 1999 or 2000, respectively. Each of the Technology and Nonexclusive Agreements, unless terminated earlier pursuant to the terms of the Agreements, will terminate on September 6, 2006 (Note 13). 11.

F-23 GRAPHON CORPORATION NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. Merger with Unity First Acquisition Corp. and Basis of Presentation On July 12, 1999, GraphOn Corporation, a California corporation ("GraphOn- CA"), merged with and into Unity First Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation ("Unity"). Unity, as the surviving entity to the merger and the Registrant, then changed its name to GraphOn Corporation ("GraphOn"), and the GraphOn-CA management team continued in their existing roles at GraphOn. Pursuant to the merger, each outstanding share of GraphOn-CA common stock was exchanged for 0.5576 shares of Unity common stock and each outstanding option and warrant to purchase shares of GraphOn-CA common stock was exchanged for 0.5576 options or warrants to purchase shares of Unity common stock. Additionally, GraphOn received $5,425,000 in cash which was placed into trust upon Unity's initial public offering in November 1996 and released from trust upon consummation of the merger. As of July 12, 1999, GraphOn-CA had outstanding 16,296,559 shares of common stock. As a result of the merger, the GraphOn-CA shareholders acquired approximately 9,086,961 shares of Unity common stock, or approximately 82.9% of the then outstanding Unity common stock. The merger was accounted for as a capital transaction which is equivalent to the issuance of stock by GraphOn-CA for Unity's net monetary assets of approximately $5,425,000, accompanied by a recapitalization of GraphOn-CA. The unaudited historical financial statements of GraphOn-CA included herein have been prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of GraphOn-CA's results of operations, financial position and cash flows. We filed audited financial statements that included all information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 1998 in the Unity Registration Statement on Form S-4 filed on June 15, 1999. The unaudited financial statements included herein reflect all adjustments (which include only normal, recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to state fairly the results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999. The results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year. 2. Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share is calculated using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive earnings per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the dilutive effect of outstanding stock options and warrants using the "treasury stock" method and are not included since they are antidilutive. As noted above, in July 1999, GraphOn-CA merged with and into Unity. All references to share and per-share data for all periods presented have been adjusted to give effect to the .5576 exchange of GraphOn-CA stock (See Note 3). 3. Stockholders' Equity In January 1999, GraphOn-CA completed the third and final closing of a private placement offering, in which it sold 1,095,053 shares of its common stock at $1.79 per share and granted warrants to purchase an additional 219,010 shares of common stock for net proceeds of $1,708,600. In January 1999, a convertible note payable for $475,000 to Spencer Trask Investors, an affiliate of GraphOn-CA, was retired from proceeds from the third closing of the private placement offering. In February 1999, GraphOn-CA sold 62,525 shares of its common stock and warrants to purchase an additional 676 shares for gross proceeds of $97,200. F-24 GRAPHON CORPORATION NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued) In July 1999, GraphOn-CA merged with and into Unity. As discussed above, each share of GraphOn-CA common stock was exchanged for .5576 shares of Unity common stock and each outstanding GraphOn-CA option and warrant was exchanged for .5576 options and warrants of Unity. Additionally, GraphOn received $5,425,000 in cash and the merger was accounted for as a capital transaction giving effect to the 1,875,000 shares of Unity. All references to share and per-share data for all periods presented have been adjusted to give effect to this .5576 exchange of GraphOn-CA stock. 4. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS No. 133 requires companies to recognize all derivative contracts as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and to measure them at fair value. If certain conditions are met, a derivative may be specifically designated as a hedge, the objective of which is to match the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging derivative with the recognition of (i) the changes in the fair value of the hedged assets or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk or (ii) the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transaction. For a derivative not designated as a hedging instrument, the gain and loss is recognized in income in the period of change. In June 1999, the FASB issued SFAS No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative instruments and Hedging Activities--Deferring the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133," which amends SFAS No. 133 to be effective for all fiscal quarters of all fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. Historically, the Company has not entered into derivative contracts either to hedge existing risks or for speculative purposes. Accordingly, the Company does not constituteexpect adoption of the new standard to have a material impact on the Company's results of operations, financial position or cash flows. 5. Litigation On October 4, 1999, Insignia Solutions plc, a British company with a California subsidiary, filed a complaint against GraphOn Corporation in the Superior Court of the State of California, Santa Clara County, alleging the GraphOn intentionally disrupted Insignia's sale to Citrix Systems, Inc., on February 5, 1998, of assets related to Insignia's NTRIGUE software product line. The complaint alleges that, as a result of GraphOn's conduct in connection with that sale of assets, Insignia was required by Citrix to place $8.75 million in escrow to enable Citrix to deal with potential claims by GraphOn of proprietary rights in the assets being sold. The complaint seeks unspecified damages from GraphOn. The complaint also names Citrix and its subsidiary in the United Kingdom ("Citrix UK") as defendants, alleging that these companies breached the February 5, 1998 contract with Insignia. The complaint seeks compensatory damages from Citrix related to that company's refusal to release purchase money from escrow for payment to Insignia. Insignia's California state court complaint makes reference to a declaratory judgment lawsuit that Citrix filed against GraphOn, on November 23, 1998, in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida, seeking a declaration of Citrix's right to use software purchased from Insignia, free and clear of any claim by GraphOn that such software may incorporate proprietary information owned by GraphOn. On May 14, 1999, Citrix's Florida- based lawsuit against GraphOn was dismissed for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. Essentially, the Florida court held that GraphOn has not threatened Citrix with litigation, and there is no existing dispute between GraphOn and Citrix. Citrix has filed an offerappeal from this ruling, which is presently pending. At the request of Citrix and Insignia, GraphOn has agreed to sellparticipate in mediation aimed at resolving the dispute. In light of that effort, the parties to the California state court case have agreed to extend GraphOn's time to respond to the complaint until early December. GraphOn has not yet filed an answer or other responsive pleading in the California state court action, but GraphOn presently intends to deny the principal allegations made by Insignia in the complaint. GraphOn views the matter as a solicitation of an offer to buy the Units offered hereby by anyone in any jurisdictiondispute between Citrix and Insignia, in which such offer or solicitationGraphOn is not authorized or is unlawful. The delivery of this Prospectus shall not, under any circumstances create any implication that the information herein is correct as of any time subsequent to the date of the Prospectus. ____________________ TABLE OF CONTENTS Page ---- Prospectus Summary . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
