PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
The following summary is qualified in its entirety by the more detailed
information and financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere
in this Prospectus. Each investor is encouraged to read this Prospectus
in its entirety. Unless otherwise indicated, all information in this
Prospectus assumes that the Underwriters' over-allotment option will not
be exercised. Investors should carefully consider the information set
forth under the heading "Risk Factors."
The Company
ITC develops, produces, markets and distributes interactive multimedia
training solutions that improve productivity and reduce training time and
costs. ITC's broad array of interactive multimedia "courseware" combines
full-motion video, audio, animation, graphics and text into a single
training presentation. By packaging its courseware together with standard
multimedia personal computer systems and offering reliable customer
assurance and consultative support, ITC provides its customers with a
complete training solution that may command a premium price relative to
other technology-based training programs. While all of the Company's
products are available in analog laser video disc format, ITC recently
converted and released many of its "PC Skills" and all of its "Regulatory
Training" products in a digital CD-ROM format. ITC's five courseware
libraries, all marketed under the Activ(REGISTERED TRADEMARK) trademark,
include over 200 individual multimedia products to train users in "PC
Skills," "Regulatory Training," "Technical Skills," "Instrumentation
Training" and "Basic Skills." ITC's multimedia products provide an
alternative to traditional stand-up training. The Company's courseware is
highly interactive and is self-paced, allowing employees to adjust the
rate of training to their individual needs, competency levels and work
schedules.
ITC offers its courseware to customers in many markets, including the
industrial processing and manufacturing industries, government,
educational organizations, utilities and the service sector. The Company
acquired the "PC Skills Learning Library" in September 1993 enabling ITC
to expand its sales into service-based industries, such as
telecommunications and personnel services. The domestic market for all
training and employee education in 1994 was estimated by Training Magazine
to represent a $50.6 billion industry, of which approximately $7.0 billion
was estimated to be off-the-shelf products and hardware. See "Risk
Factors -- Developing Market, -- Dependence on Product Development."
In aggregate, ITC's Activ(REGISTERED TRADEMARK) courseware is used in over
5,000 companies, including many Fortune 1,000 companies, and other major
organizations. Among the better-known purchasers of ITC Activ(REGISTERED
TRADEMARK) courseware are the following companies or their affiliates: The
- 3 -
Southern Companies, General Electric Company, NYNEX, Talent Tree Personnel
Services, Cargill, Inc., Ford Motor Company and Illinois Power Company.
The Company's objective is to accelerate its growth and profitability by
further penetrating the market for interactive multimedia training and
educational courseware. ITC's strategy for achieving this objective is to
expand product platforms and development efforts; increase distribution
capabilities; and pursue strategic acquisitions and marketing alliances.
See "Business -- Corporate Strategy."
ITC was incorporated in 1977 under the laws of the state of Maryland. The
Company's principal executive office address is 13515 Dulles Technology
Drive, Herndon, Virginia 22071. ITC's telephone number is (703) 713-3335.

(1) The decline in 1993 income before provision for income taxes resulted
from several factors including: lower overall gross margins, increased
selling, general and administrative costs as a result of increased
marketing, sales, and promotional efforts, and resources dedicated to
expanding the Company through acquisition. Effective September 30,
1993, the Company acquired CI Acquisition Corporation and its two
wholly-owned subsidiaries, Comsell Training, Inc. and ComSkill
Learning Centers, Inc.
(2) 1990 and 1991 data have been adjusted to reflect a 2 for 1 stock
split, which occurred in January 1992.
(3) Gives effect to the sale by the Company of 875,000 shares of Common
Stock at an assumed offering price of $10 1/2 per share and after
deducting estimated underwriting discounts, offering expenses, and the
applicable filing and registration fees. See "Use of Proceeds."
RISK FACTORS
Investors should carefully consider the following risk factors, in
addition to all of the other information contained in this Prospectus,
including the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements, before purchasing the Common Stock offered hereby.
Developing Market
The market for training and employee education is characterized by a high
degree of fragmentation and competition. Competitors include publishers
of text and videotape training products, providers of instructor-led
training, and developers and publishers of other multimedia products.
Technology-based training products represent a small portion of the
overall market for training. As a result, the Company's future success
and realization of the Company s strategic plan will depend, in part, on
the extent to which companies continue to adopt technology-based training
as a fundamental part of their employee education and development
programs. There can be no assurance that the current trend will continue
or that the Company will significantly increase or sustain current
distribution levels for its products.
Dependence on Product Development
Several of the Company's products, including the Company s "PC Skills
Learning Library" and, to a lesser degree, the Company s "Regulatory
Training Learning Library," are influenced by changes in the content of
the subject matter. Changes in the subject matter of any of the Company's
products could render such products obsolete. Therefore, the Company's
success may depend upon the Company s ability to adapt, modify and update
its products, to develop and introduce, in a timely manner, new and
- 7 -
competitive products, or to acquire new products. There can be no
assurance that the Company will be successful in these endeavors.
Acquisitions
The Company's continued growth depends, in part, on its ability to
successfully acquire complementary businesses or product lines. There can
be no assurance that any such acquisitions will be consummated, or if
consummated, that such acquisitions will be successful. The Company has
no current commitments, understandings or arrangements with respect to any
specific transaction. See "Business -- Corporate Strategy."
Distribution
Part of the Company's strategy is to expand distribution channels for its
courseware. Although the Company intends to hire additional salespersons,
add dealers, franchisees and distributors, and explore relationships with
other resellers, no assurance can be given that such expanded distribution
will either occur or have a positive effect on the Company's business
operations.
Changing Technologies
The Company utilizes several different personal computer-based hardware
platforms to deliver its products. These platforms range from standard
analog format, using laser video disc, to any of the several digital-based
CD-ROM platforms, such as "MPEG" (the Motion Pictures Experts Group
standard), "DVI" (Digital Video Interactive) and INDEO(REGISTERED
TRADEMARK). The Company also operates in an environment where its
customers face networking and portability issues. Delivery platforms are
constantly evolving as new and different technologies emerge. Changes in
technologies or the means through which the Company's products are
delivered could render the Company's products obsolete. There can be no
assurance that the Company will be able to anticipate and respond
adequately to technological changes that may affect the delivery of the
Company s products or that costs to develop such responses will not
adversely affect the financial condition of the Company.
Intellectual Property
The Company considers all of its products to be proprietary and relies
primarily on a combination of statutory and common law copyright,
trademark and trade secret laws, customer licensing agreements, employee
and third-party nondisclosure agreements and other methods to protect its
proprietary rights. Despite these precautions, it may be possible for a
third party to copy or otherwise obtain and use the Company's courseware
or technology without authorization, or to develop similar courseware or
technology independently. The Company includes in its courseware
packaging an end-user agreement that restricts unauthorized use. If
unauthorized copying or misuse of the Company's products were to occur to
any substantial degree, the Company's business and results of operations
- 8 -
could be materially and adversely affected. There can be no assurance
that the Company's means of protecting its proprietary rights will be
adequate or that the Company's competitors will not independently develop
similar technology. There can likewise be no assurance that third parties
will not claim that the Company's current or future products infringe upon
the proprietary rights of others. Any such claim, with or without merit,
could result in costly litigation or require the Company to enter into
royalty or licensing agreements. Such royalty or license agreements, if
required, may not be available on terms acceptable to the Company or at
all. See "Business -- Intellectual Property."
Dependence On and Need for Key Personnel
At the present time, the Company depends to a great extent upon the
efforts of each of its executive officers to administer the Company's
business. In addition, the Company's ability to accelerate growth and
profitability will depend, in part, on its ability to attract and retain
additional qualified personnel. There is significant competition for
qualified personnel, and there can be no assurance that the Company will
be successful in recruiting or training a sufficient number of employees
of the requisite caliber to enable the Company to operate its business and
implement its strategy as planned. See "Management."
Competition
The training and employee education industry is highly competitive, and
competition is increasing among providers of technology-based training.
Competitors include providers of traditional instructor-led training,
multimedia developers and sellers, textbook publishers, and manufacturers
and producers of videotape training materials and other products. These
competitors range from small to large firms, some of which have
substantially greater financial, personnel and marketing resources than
the Company. No assurance can be given that the Company will be able to
compete effectively with existing or future competitors in the training
industry. The inability to remain competitive could result in a reduction
of the Company's revenues and could have a material adverse effect on the
Company's overall financial condition. See "Business -- Competition."
Dilution
Purchasers of the shares of Common Stock offered hereby will suffer
immediate and substantial dilution (i.e., the difference between the
offering price of a share of Common Stock and the net tangible book value
thereof after giving effect to this Offering) of $5.38 per share in the
net tangible book value of their shares of Common Stock, assuming that all
shares offered by the Company are sold. At June 30, 1995, the net
tangible book value of the Company was approximately $8,748,084, or $3.56
per share based on 2,455,624 shares of Common Stock outstanding. Net
tangible book value per share of Common Stock represents the amount of the
Company's total assets less the amount of its intangible assets (goodwill)
- 9 -
and liabilities, divided by the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding. After giving effect to the sale by the Company of 875,000
shares (at an assumed offering price of $10 1/2 per share) offered hereby
and the application of the estimated net proceeds therefrom, the pro forma
net tangible book value at June 30, 1995 would have been approximately
$17,059,089 or $5.12 per share of Common Stock. In the event that the
Underwriters exercise the over-allotment option in full, the pro forma net
tangible book value after this Offering (after deducting underwriting
discounts and estimated offering expenses to be paid by the Company) would
be $5.27 per share, and the public investors would experience dilution of
$5.23 per share.
Use of Proceeds
The net proceeds of this Offering are subject to reallocation by the
Company. See "Use of Proceeds."
- 10 -
USE OF PROCEEDS
The net proceeds from the sale by the Company of 875,000 shares of Common
Stock in this Offering will be approximately $8.3 million ($9.4 million if
the Underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised in full) based upon
an assumed offering price per share of $10 1/2 (the last reported sale
price on August 10, 1995). The Company will not receive any of the
proceeds from the sale of Common Stock by the Selling Shareholders. The
Company anticipates that the net proceeds will be used over the next
twelve to eighteen months for the purposes described below.
The Company expects to use approximately $1.9 million of the net proceeds
received by the Company to reduce its long-term borrowings. The long-term
debt consists of two term loans. The first term loan, the balance of
which was $615,000 as of June 30, 1995, was incurred for the Company's
acquisition of CI Acquisition Corp. ("CI") and its related subsidiaries in
September 1993. This loan bears interest at a rate of prime plus one
percent (1%) (10% as of June 30, 1995) and matures in November 1998. The
second term loan, the balance of which was $1,254,000 at June 30, 1995,
was incurred in connection with the February 17, 1995 acquisition of the
"INVOLVE(REGISTERED TRADEMARK) Instrumentation Learning Library" from the
Instrument Society of America ("ISA"). The second loan bears interest at
a rate of prime plus one-half percent (1/2%) (9.5% as of June 30, 1995)
and matures in March 2000.
The Company intends to use up to $3 million of the net proceeds to fund
development of additional courseware products and to convert the Company's
existing analog courseware libraries of "Technical Skills" and
"Instrumentation Training" to a digital-based CD-ROM format.
The $3.4 million balance of net proceeds ($4.5 million if the Underwriters
exercise the over-allotment option in full), will be used to broaden and
expand the Company's range of training products by acquiring companies or
products, working capital and other general corporate purposes. With
respect to future acquisitions, the Company is regularly reviewing
potential acquisitions, although it has no current agreements,
understandings or commitments with respect to any material transactions.
Amounts allocated to working capital may be used, in part, to finance
expanded distribution efforts.
The foregoing represents the Company's estimate of the allocation of the
net proceeds of this Offering based upon the current status of its
business operations, its current plans and current economic conditions.
Future events, as well as changes in competitive conditions affecting the
Company's business and the success or lack thereof of the Company's
marketing efforts, may make shifts in the allocation of funds necessary or
desirable. A change in the use of proceeds or timing of such use will be
- 11 -
at the Company's discretion. Pending application of the net proceeds from
this Offering, the net proceeds will be invested in short-term,
investment-grade, interest bearing securities. See "Risk Factors -- Use
of Proceeds."
The Company may incur additional borrowings in the next twelve to eighteen
months to support its development plans and to effect acquisitions.

(1) The decline in 1993 income before provision for income taxes resulted
from several factors including lower overall gross margins, increased
selling, general and administrative costs as a result of increased
marketing, sales, and promotional efforts, and resources dedicated to
expanding the Company through acquisition. Effective September 30,
1993, the Company acquired CI Acquisition Corporation and its two
wholly-owned subsidiaries, Comsell Training, Inc. and ComSkill
Learning Centers, Inc.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview
Since ITC was formed in 1977, the focus of the Company's business has
evolved from linear-based videotape training products to interactive
multimedia programs, delivered in analog laser video disc and digital-
based CD-ROM platforms. Until 1993, the Company derived the majority of
its revenues from the distribution and sale of its "Technical Skills
Learning Library" and "Basic Skills Learning Library" to companies in the
industrial processing and manufacturing markets.
With the development of its "Regulatory Training Learning Library" and the
addition of the "PC Skills Learning Library" upon the acquisition of CI
and its subsidiaries, Comsell Training, Inc. ("Comsell") and ComSkill
Learning Centers, Inc. ("ComSkill"), in September 1993, the Company was
able to enter new markets and increase revenues significantly. In
February 1995, the Company acquired the "INVOLVE(REGISTERED TRADEMARK)
Instrumentation Learning Library," which it had developed for the
Instrument Society of America ("ISA"). As a result of this acquisition,
the Company is no longer required to pay royalties upon the sale of
INVOLVE(REGISTERED TRADEMARK) products. For additional information
regarding the CI acquisition and purchase of the INVOLVE(REGISTERED
TRADEMARK) products, see Notes 2 and 13, respectively, to the Company's
Consolidated Financial Statements included herein.

===== ===== ==== =====
Six Months Ended June 30, 1995 Compared with Six Months Ended June 30,
1994
- 20 -
Total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1995 were $11,256,000,
compared to $9,364,000 for the comparable six months of 1994, an increase
of approximately 20%. The strong growth in revenues for the six months
ended June 30, 1995 was due primarily to expansion of distribution
channels and product development efforts during 1994, which resulted in a
record performance for the Company's core multimedia training products.
Total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1995 were positively
affected by the increase in sales of multimedia hardware systems.
Hardware revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1995 aggregated
$2,400,000, which represents an increase of $710,000 or 42% relative to
1994. While hardware sales do not add significantly to the Company's
earnings, Management believes that increased hardware sales are an
important factor in developing the demand for the Company's off-the-shelf
courseware.
Franchise related revenues (fees and royalties) achieved for the six
months ended June 30, 1995 amounted to $304,000. This compares to $55,000
achieved during the first six months of 1994, an increase of $249,000 or
453%. The Company has sold two franchise territories in 1995, with a
total of 17 territories sold to date.
Sales of the Company's linear products (primarily videotape and text-based
products), marketed under the label USA Training, amounted to $461,000 for
the six months ended June 30, 1995. This represents a decrease of
$155,000 or 25% for the comparable period in 1994. The decline in sales
of these products is consistent with industry trends. Due to the relative
size of ITC's linear products division in comparison to ITC, this decline
is not considered significant.
Cost of sales represented 57.3% and 59.6% of total revenues for the six
months ended June 30, 1995 and June 30, 1994, respectively. The relative
decrease in cost of sales on a comparative basis is attributable to an
increase in the sale of higher margin Company-owned courseware.
Selling, general and administrative expenses aggregated $3,596,000 for the
six months ended June 30, 1995. This compares to expenses of $3,091,000
for the same period in 1994. The increase of $505,000 was due primarily
to additional operational, sales and marketing costs. The amount of
selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales has
decreased slightly, from 33% to 32% for the six months ended June 30,
1995, relative to the same period in 1994.
For the six months ended June 30, 1995, income before provision for income
taxes totaled $1,231,000, as compared to $670,000 for 1994, an increase
over the prior year of $561,000 or 84%. The significant improvement in
income before provision for income taxes over 1994 was a result of several
- 21 -
factors, including the Company's improved revenue performance, the
reduction in royalty expense due to the Company's purchase of the
INVOLVE(REGISTERED TRADEMARK) products in February 1995, and the Company's
efforts to control costs.
Net income for the six months ended June 30, 1995 aggregated $726,000 or
28 cents per share, as compared to $402,000 or 17 cents during the first
six months of 1994. The substantial increase in net income during 1995
was a result of the same factors that contributed to the increases in
income before provision for income taxes.
As a result of the Company's available tax loss carryforwards (as
described in Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included
elsewhere herein), the Company has, historically, paid a minimal amount of
income taxes. However, as a result of the Company's increasing level of
profitability, combined with the restrictions on the utilization of the
net operating losses acquired with CI, the Company began to pay a larger
amount of income taxes beginning in the second quarter of 1995. These
increased levels of tax payments are expected to continue, provided the
Company continues to improve its level of profitability.
Fiscal Year 1994 Compared to Fiscal Year 1993
Total revenues for 1994 were $22,337,000, representing a 62% increase over
the prior year's revenue of $13,812,000. The Company continued to be
positively impacted by the September 30,1993 acquisition of CI, its
subsidiaries, Comsell and ComSkill, and the related "PC Skills Learning
Library." Revenues for 1994 included a full year of CI's results of
operations, while 1993 consolidated results of operations included only
three months of CI's revenues and expenses. The dramatic improvement in
revenues also resulted from increases in demand for nearly all of the
Company's products and services. Sales of the Company's off-the-shelf
multimedia products, hardware systems, linear training products and
ComSkill franchises all increased substantially, while the only area that
experienced a decline was the Company's custom services business.
Revenues from off-the-shelf courseware increased 84% to $15,597,000 in
1994, as compared to revenues of $8,473,000 during 1993. Several factors
that contributed to the increase include additional resources and channels
being focused on sales and distribution of off-the-shelf courseware, an
aggressive product development schedule that resulted in the release of 32
new courses in 1994 and a product marketing strategy that positioned all
of the Company's four "Learning Libraries" as a single product family.
The Company anticipates that revenues will continue to grow due to the
Company's broadened product lines, additional sales and distribution
channels, and continued investments in new products and technologies.
- 22 -
During 1994, sales of hardware systems aggregated $4,353,000, representing
a 103% increase from the revenue level achieved in 1993 of $2,149,000.
Similar to 1993, in 1994 increases in hardware sales resulted from
competitive pricing strategies and the increase in off-the-shelf
courseware sales.
Revenues from custom courseware and consulting services amounted to
$2,387,000 in 1994, a decrease of $802,000 or 25% over the corresponding
period in 1993. The decline in custom and consulting revenues was the
result of the Company's decision to de-emphasize the custom business as an
independent endeavor, while focusing only on those custom opportunities
that satisfy the needs of the Company's existing customer base.
Cost of sales represented 61% and 59% of total revenues for the years
ended 1994 and 1993, respectively. The relative increase in cost of sales
on a comparative basis is attributable to several factors including the
significant increase in hardware sales that bear extremely low margins and
an increase in sales of third party and partnership courseware that bear
much lower margins than sales of Company-owned courseware. However, for
the most part, these increases in cost of sales have been offset by
increases in sales of Company-owned courseware and franchise fees. Sales
from products owned solely by the Company accounted for 72% and 36% of
total multimedia courseware sales in 1994 and 1993, respectively.
Selling, general and administrative expenses totalled $6,693,000 in 1994,
an increase of $1,139,000 or 21% over the corresponding period of 1993.
The overall increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was
due primarily to the acquisition of CI and expanded operational support
for ComSkill. The Company realized substantial savings relative to the
independent operations of ITC and CI, as indicated by the decline in
selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue
from 40% in 1993 to 30% in 1994.
Income before the provision for income taxes aggregated $1,965,000 in
1994. This represents an increase of $1,929,000 over the corresponding
result of $36,000 achieved for fiscal 1993. The dramatic increase in
income before the provision for income taxes in 1994 has resulted from
several factors including substantial savings in general and
administrative expenses as a result of combining the overhead structures
of ITC and CI, substantial increases in sales of off-the-shelf courseware,
and sales of new ComSkill franchises.
Net income for 1994 was $1,160,000, compared to $21,000 in 1993, an
increase of $1,139,000. The significant increase in net income for 1994
resulted from the same factors that affected the increase in income before
the provision for income taxes.
- 23 -
Due to the Company's available net operating loss carryforwards, the
Company paid minimal taxes during 1994 and 1993. As of December 31, 1994,
the Company had available $1,500,000 of net operating loss carryforwards
of which $1,400,000 is restricted in use to approximately $245,000 per
year, as such net operating loss carryforwards were acquired from CI.

- 24 -
The Company's net revenues have steadily increased on a comparable
quarterly basis with the fourth quarter of each year being the Company's
strongest. Management believes that the fourth quarter will continue to
be the Company's strongest because many of the Company's customers expend
a disproportionate share of their annual training budgets during the last
quarter of the calendar year. Additionally, gross margin and net income
on a quarterly basis are affected by the relative sales mix between
courseware and hardware related products.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Working capital at June 30, 1995 was $4,620,000 as compared with
$4,095,000 at December 31, 1994. The increase of $525,000 or 13% was due
to the strong results of operations of the Company during the first six
months of 1995, as described above.
The Company experienced an increase in cash provided from operations in
the first six months of 1995. Operations generated approximately
$2,171,000 of cash compared with $1,375,000 for the six month periods
ended June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Additionally, in February
1995, the Company incurred $1,320,000 of long term debt in order to
finance the acquisition of the INVOLVE(REGISTERED TRADEMARK) products as
described below. The cash flow provided by operations and the proceeds
from long-term debt was used primarily as follows: $2,154,000 to fund the
Company's product development efforts, $361,000 for certain capital
expenditures, $212,000 for principal payments on the Company's long-term
debt, and $80,000 for repayment of the Company's revolving line of credit.
The Company's borrowings against its revolving credit line decreased from
$80,000 at December 31, 1994 to zero at June 30, 1995. Subsequent to June
30, 1995, the Company negotiated an increase in the amount available
pursuant to its line of credit from $2,000,000 to $2,500,000. Any
borrowings under this line of credit will bear interest at prime plus one-
half percent.
Accounts receivable at June 30, 1995 aggregated $7,258,000 due primarily
to two factors: the strong revenue performance in the second quarter of
1995 and a $1,713,000 sale to a customer at the end of the second quarter.
Although the entire order was shipped and billed prior to June 30, 1995,
due to the specific terms of this contract, only $578,000 was recognized
as revenue in the second quarter of 1995.
On February 17, 1995, ITC purchased all right, title and interest in the
51 lessons in the INVOLVE(REGISTERED TRADEMARK) Series. These products,
which were developed for ISA by ITC, had previously been sold by the
Company under an exclusive third party sales and marketing agreement. The
aggregate purchase price for this transaction was approximately
- 25 -
$1,590,000. The price included the forgiveness of a receivable from ISA
of approximately $90,000, and purchase of approximately $180,000 of
INVOLVE(REGISTERED TRADEMARK) inventory. The Company borrowed $1,000,000
under its available line of credit and paid $500,000 in cash.
Subsequently, the Company paid down the line of credit borrowings with the
proceeds from a 5-year term loan in the original principal amount of
$1,320,000.
During 1993, and in order to effectuate the acquisition of CI and its
subsidiaries, Comsell and ComSkill, the Company exchanged 620,000 shares
of its Common Stock for all of the issued and outstanding equity of CI and
its affiliates. Additionally, the Company borrowed $971,000 from a bank
($900,000 of which was in the form of a then new five-year term loan) in
order to refinance an obligation of CI.

BUSINESS
History
The Company was founded in 1977 to provide videotape-based technical
skills training primarily for the industrial processing and manufacturing
marketplace. During the 1980's, the Company converted its training
programs from linear-based videotape to interactive multimedia laser video
disc in order to utilize emerging computer technologies and to enhance the
effectiveness and quality of its training products. In addition to
technological enhancements, the Company focused on developing new training
courseware and expanding its customer base. In 1985, the Company merged
with the International Institute of Applied Technology, a publicly held
hardware systems integrator, and began trading on NASDAQ under the symbol
ITCC.
In September 1993, ITC acquired Comsell and ComSkill, the operating
subsidiaries of CI. The acquisition of CI brought to ITC an additional
product line (the "PC Skills Learning Library") and additional
distribution channels including dealers, distributors and the ComSkill
franchise network. In February 1995, the Company purchased
INVOLVE(REGISTERED TRADEMARK), an instrumentation learning library, from
ISA. This courseware was originally developed by the Company for ISA.
Management believes that these acquisitions, in addition to the internal
development of the "Technical Skills," "Basic Skills," and "Regulatory
Training" learning libraries, and further expansion of the "PC Skills
Learning Library," have strategically positioned the Company to meet the
evolving and diverse training needs of its customers.
Corporate Strategy
The Company's objective is to accelerate its growth and profitability by
further penetrating the market for interactive multimedia training and
educational courseware. ITC's strategy for achieving this objective is
to:
. Expand product platforms and development efforts;
. Increase distribution capabilities; and
. Pursue strategic acquisitions and marketing alliances.
Expand Product Platforms and Development Efforts. The Company must adapt
its products to changing multimedia delivery platforms. The Company
currently delivers its "PC Skills" and "Regulatory Training" products in
both analog and digital formats, while the "Basic Skills," "Technical
Skills," and "Instrumentation Training" programs are offered only in
analog laser video disc format. Recently, the Company accelerated its
conversion efforts for release of these products in a digital format,
because the Company regards digital delivery, including the use of CD-ROM,
as the future of the industry, although laser video disc remains today's
standard of performance and reliability.
- 27 -
As the market for interactive multimedia training expands, customers can
be expected to analyze and demand more performance features and benefits
such as portability and networking. In addition to improving ITC's
current product features (such as customization capabilities,
administration and record keeping), ITC anticipates investing in and
developing new elements of multimedia to further increase performance.
See "Risk Factors -- Changing Technologies, -- Dependence on Product
Development, -- Intellectual Property."
Increase Distribution Capabilities. The Company seeks to expand its
United States and international distribution channels, including direct
sales, dealers, distributors and franchises. Management anticipates
hiring additional persons to support the Company's direct sales efforts
and to continue to expand reseller channels. This effort is intended to
result in a more focused approach to the customer.
As the market for technology-based training continues to develop, ITC
intends to increase its efforts to distinguish its products from
competitive products and services. As a result, the Company intends to
hire additional marketing specialists to further develop the Company's
corporate, library, and product marketing strategies in support of the
Company's sales and distribution efforts. See "Risk Factors -- Developing
Market, -- Distribution."
Pursue Strategic Acquisitions and Marketing Alliances. The Company
intends to broaden and expand its range of training products by acquiring
companies or products and, potentially, entering into marketing alliances
with developers of compatible products. The acquisitions of CI and of the
"INVOLVE(REGISTERED TRADEMARK) Instrumentation Learning Library" reflect
the Company's commitment to this strategy. The Company intends to use a
portion of the net proceeds realized from the Offering to fund the
Company's acquisition strategy. There can be no assurance that the
Company will locate suitable acquisition candidates or consummate
acquisitions on terms favorable to the Company. See "Risk Factors --
Acquisitions."
In certain product areas, such as "PC Skills," the Company intends to
enter into development and marketing alliances with key software
applications developers to assist in the production of ITC training
programs. The Company believes that these alliances might provide a
number of competitive advantages, including access to partners' product
development plans, source material and distribution channels. To date,
the Company has not entered into any marketing alliances with key software
applications developers. There can be no assurance that the Company will
enter into marketing alliances with any software applications developers.

Industry Overview
The proliferation of personal computers throughout organizations and the
increase in multimedia capabilities of computers are two factors driving
the demand for interactive training and educational courseware. According
to Training Magazine, the domestic market for off-the-shelf and custom
training products, outside services and hardware increased from $6.2
billion in 1991 to $7.0 billion in 1994. Training Magazine also estimates
that the total domestic market for corporate training (including training
staff salaries and expenditures for seminars) increased from $43.2 billion
in 1991 to $50.6 billion in 1994. Training Magazine reports that 46% of
companies utilized computer-based training in 1994.
Management believes that the demand for its products and services is being
driven by (i) an increasingly competitive environment in which businesses
seek to improve efficiency and productivity through a more skilled
workforce; (ii) corporate downsizing, resulting in increased training
requirements for employees who perform multiple job tasks; (iii) the
significant increase in the use of computers throughout all levels of
organizations, increasing the number of employees who need training; and
(iv) the continuous introduction and evolution of computer technologies,
contributing to the need for continuing education and training. Moreover,
International Data Corporation ("IDC") has concluded that technology-based
applications are an extremely effective method of communicating
instructional information to learners. Studies by IDC indicate that the
time required for instruction is measurably reduced by using interactive
technologies in a training environment, and that comprehension and
retention rates are improved appreciably as well.
The foregoing industry trends suggest the potential demand for certain of
ITC's specific product libraries. For example, growth in the "PC Skills"
training market is being fueled by the expanded use of personal computers.
The demand for "Regulatory Training" has already increased due to new
Federal government mandated training for Occupational Safety and Health
Act ("OSHA") regulations and other safety related issues. Demand for the
Company's "Technical Skills" and "Instrumentation Training" programs has
also increased because of both an increasingly competitive operating
environment and the restructuring and downsizing of corporate America
that, together, drive the need for more efficient cross-trained employees.
ITC's management believes that the Company is well positioned to
capitalize on both the increases in the overall training market and the
transition to technology-based learning solutions. See "Risk Factors --
Developing Market, --Changing Technologies, - Competition."
Products and Services
ITC is a full-service training company specializing in the development,
production, marketing and sale of both off-the-shelf and custom
- 29 -
interactive multimedia training courseware for corporate, educational and
governmental organizations. The Company offers in excess of 200 titles in
its Activ(REGISTERED TRADEMARK) learning libraries, and 300 videotape
programs. ITC's courseware employs the power of full-screen, full-motion
video on a PC platform. These courses combine high quality video and
sound with the PC's capabilities for graphics and automatic recordkeeping.
Although the analog laser video disc system remains today's standard for
quality multimedia, the Company recognizes the importance of emerging
digital technologies. ITC has begun the process of converting its
courseware to digital-based CD-ROM platforms. Currently ITC's "Regulatory
Training" and "PC Skills" learning libraries are available in both MPEG
and DVI digital formats, while "Basic Skills," "Technical Skills" and
"Instrumentation Training" are in the process of being converted to MPEG.
The Company expects the conversion to expand the possibilities for
portability and networking.
The vast majority of ITC's products are interactive multimedia programs;
however, the Company does market, sell and distribute certain linear
training products (primarily videotape and text-based) through its USA
Training division.
Along with its products, the Company offers a variety of services to
support the customer's training programs. ITC works with each customer to
determine technological requirements and appropriate courseware. If
desired, certain courses can be customized to meet customer needs. Upon
request, ITC personnel handle the on-site installation of hardware and
courseware. Customer assurance representatives respond promptly to
customer inquiries received during and after business hours. The Company
believes that its training solutions can command a premium price relative
to other technology-based training programs.
Activ(REGISTERED TRADEMARK) Learning Libraries
The Activ(REGISTERED TRADEMARK) "PC Skills Learning Library" provides a
powerful, yet flexible, approach to understanding personal computers while
unlocking the productivity power of today's new software tools. This
Activ(REGISTERED TRADEMARK) learning library includes introductory courses
on PCs, Windows(REGISTERED TRADEMARK) software applications, including
Microsoft(REGISTERED TRADEMARK), Lotus(REGISTERED TRADEMARK), and
WordPerfect(REGISTERED TRADEMARK) products, as well as several programs on
DOS-based applications.
The Activ(REGISTERED TRADEMARK) "Regulatory Training Learning Library"
addresses many of the OSHA, Environmental Protection Agency and Department
of Transportation regulations. Titles include "Confined Space Entry,"
"Transport of Hazardous Material," "Lockout/Tagout," "Environmental
Awareness," "Powered Industrial Vehicles," and "Bloodborne Pathogens."
ITC's Activ(REGISTERED TRADEMARK) regulatory courses provide broad
regulatory training coverage and updates for regulatory changes.
- 30 -
The Activ(REGISTERED TRADEMARK) "Technical Skills Learning Library" is
designed to increase technical competency. These uniquely customizable
courses use "real world" workplace situations and terminology, providing a
practical atmosphere for the learner. The Activ(REGISTERED TRADEMARK)
"Technical Skills Learning Library" offers nearly 100 courses that address
specific technical training needs in the areas of fundamentals, quality,
safety, mechanical and electrical/electronics.
The Activ(REGISTERED TRADEMARK) "INVOLVE(REGISTERED TRADEMARK)
Instrumentation Learning Library" offers "Technical Skills" courses
relating to instrumentation topics. Developed by ITC in association with
ISA, the 51 customizable courses comprising the library communicate
complex instrument, multi-craft and process operations. Lessons are
available on every level from the basic principles of process control to
the hands-on skills necessary to keep a process running. The
Activ(REGISTERED TRADEMARK) "INVOLVE(REGISTERED TRADEMARK) Instrumentation
Learning Library" includes broad training topics ranging from distributed
control to instrument calibration and from troubleshooting to industrial
measurement.
The Activ(REGISTERED TRADEMARK) "Basic Skills Learning Library" provides
students with a working understanding of math, reading, writing and
interpersonal skills. The courses can be customized to highlight
situations that may be encountered by employees on the job.
Activ(REGISTERED TRADEMARK) Administration System
The Company's proprietary Activ(REGISTERED TRADEMARK) Administration
System offers customers a method of managing, reporting and tracking their
employees' individual and group training data and progress when training
with ITC's Activ(REGISTERED TRADEMARK) programs.
Hardware
The Company sells personal computers and related multimedia hardware
products to customers who require hardware to implement training programs.
In addition to being an authorized IBM Industry Remarketer and a Value
Added Reseller, the Company utilizes the products of Compaq, Gateway and
other computer hardware manufacturers. Such hardware is integrated with
ITC's Activ(REGISTERED TRADEMARK) courseware to provide a full-service
solution to the training needs of ITC's clients.
All materials used in the Company's products are available from numerous
sources of supply. The Company does not foresee any shortage of such
materials. Further, ITC does not believe that the loss of any single
supplier would have a material adverse effect on the Company taken as a
whole.
- 31 -
Product Development
The Company has made substantial investments in product development. ITC
products are developed both internally and with third party contractors.
After a subject has been researched and identified for product
development, the first step in developing a new training program is to
develop a working knowledge of the underlying content by consulting
subject matter experts, existing courses, and product reference materials.
The Company then writes a program script, which covers all of the relevant
concepts, tasks to be completed, interactive features and tests to measure
achievement and to reinforce the lesson. During and after development of
a script, the Company's developers, programmers, video directors, and
graphic designers simultaneously plan and develop the course's performance
characteristics and video graphics. The final script and graphics are
integrated into a single file. Video and audio are recorded onto a master
videotape which is subsequently mastered as a laser video disc and a CD-
ROM. The workbook is finalized and printed, then course diskettes are
prepared. The program is then tested to ensure that each course delivers
the desired education and training. After testing is complete, the
product is released for sale.
The Company performs most of its own courseware development activities and
retains control over course development performed by outside developers
and subcontractors. All deliverables produced by outside developers or
subcontractors remain the Company's property.
Expenditures for product development were $969,870 in fiscal year 1993,
$1,543,128 in fiscal year 1994, and $755,576 for the six-month period
ended June 30, 1995 (excluding the INVOLVE(REGISTERED TRADEMARK) product
purchase of $1,398,507). See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations," "Risk Factors --
Dependence on Product Development," and "Use of Proceeds."

Sales, Marketing and Customer Support
Distribution of the Company's products is managed through a number of
channels. Primarily, the Company employs a direct sales force that is
responsible for sales of the Company's interactive multimedia products
throughout North America. The Company also markets its products through
dealers, distributors and, in the case of the Activ(REGISTERED TRADEMARK)
"PC Skills Learning Library," its ComSkill franchisees. In foreign
markets, with the exception of Canada, the Company markets its products
through dealers and distributors.
Direct Sales
The Company's direct sales force and support organization is responsible
for the distribution of ITC's interactive multimedia products throughout
North America, with the exception of those territories that have been sold
to ComSkill franchisees as exclusive territories for distribution of the
Activ(REGISTERED TRADEMARK) "PC Skills Learning Library." The efforts of
the direct sales and support personnel accounted for approximately 84% of
the Company's multimedia revenues in 1994. At June 30, 1995, ITC employed
fifteen direct sales people responsible for generating new customer sales
and eight customer service representatives providing ongoing support for
the Company's existing customer base. In addition, the Company employs an
internal sales staff to assist the direct sales force and customer service
representatives. With the exception of Canada, the Company does not have
a direct sales employee presence in international markets.
The Company develops direct sales contacts from many sources. The Company
has established a presence at many of the training industry's national and
regional trade shows. Trade shows permit the Company to promote and
enhance its image as a leading publisher and distributor of self-directed
training programs and to initiate customer contacts, which are followed by
a direct salesperson or customer service representative communication.
The Company also contacts potential clients referred by existing
customers.
Indirect Sales
The Company also distributes its products through a variety of indirect
sales channels, which include dealers, distributors and franchises. The
indirect sales channels generated 16% of the Company's revenues in 1994.
The Company believes that utilizing indirect sales channels offers the
Company additional opportunities to broaden its customer base. By having
the Company's dealers, distributors and franchises establish their own
presence in local markets, ITC accesses customers in some markets that
could not be targeted as cost-effectively by the Company's direct sales
force. The Company currently utilizes approximately twelve dealers and
distributors in foreign markets, excluding Canada.
- 33 -
The franchises sold through ITC's ComSkill subsidiary employ their own
direct sales personnel to market and sell ITC's products throughout their
protected territories. ComSkill franchises have exclusive rights to sell
"PC Skills" products and nonexclusive rights to sell other ITC products.
In connection with the Company's strategy to expand distribution channels,
ITC intends to explore relationships with additional prospective resellers
of its courseware.
ComSkill Franchises
ComSkill offers and sells franchises to independent operators or
franchisees throughout the United States and Canada for the sale and
distribution of ITC "PC Skills" courseware and the operation of personal
computer multimedia learning centers within exclusive territories. Under
the terms of the franchise agreements, the franchisees have the right to
resell and lease "PC Skills" courseware to third parties. Territories are
based on IDC's statistical survey of personal computer distribution in
each of the top 150 Metropolitan Statistical areas in the United States as
of January 1, 1993, and on county and postal zip codes. All franchise
agreements are for a ten-year term, with eligibility for renewal for an
additional ten years, subject to certain terms and conditions.
Franchisees are also granted the right to use the trademark "ComSkill"
with logo, registered with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office on January
3, 1995, Registration No. 1,871,652. ComSkill currently has seventeen
territories established.
Customer Support
The Company provides customer support in several ways. First, each sale
is based upon an analysis of the customer's training needs. Second, ITC
offers "1-800" telephone support to its customers during normal business
hours. Third, the Company solicits feedback from new and existing
customers regarding service improvements and requests for new products.
Customers
ITC's Activ(REGISTERED TRADEMARK) courseware has been purchased by over
5,000 companies, including many Fortune 1,000 companies, and other major
organizations. These organizations span a wide range of industries
including industrial processing and manufacturing, telecommunications,
utilities, government and education. The following table lists certain of
the Company's customers within each of the identified industries. The
organizations listed below (or their affiliates) represent some of the
customers that have purchased in excess of $100,000 of products from the
Company since January 1, 1994.

No customer accounted for more than 7% of revenues in 1994. Less than 10%
of the Company's 1994 revenues were derived from foreign sales.
Intellectual Property
The Company considers its training programs to be proprietary and relies
primarily on a combination of statutory and common law copyright,
trademark and trade secret laws, customer licensing agreements, employee
and third party nondisclosure agreements and other methods to protect its
proprietary rights. Certain of the Company's "Basic Skills" and
"Technical Skills" products are owned by limited partnerships in which the
Company acts as a general partner and, in some cases, the Company also
participates as a limited partner.
The Company is the owner of certain trademarks and/or servicemarks filed
in the United States Patent and Trademark Office:
-- ACTIV, Reg. No. 1,542,258 expiring June 6, 2009
-- ACTIV (with logo), Reg. No. 1,541,251, expiring May 30, 2009
-- ITC (with logo), Reg. No. 1,456,363, expiring Sept. 8, 2007
-- ITC, Reg. No. 1,483,827, expiring Apr. 5, 2008

-- ComSkill (with logo), Reg. No. 1,871,652, expiring Jan. 3, 2001
-- INVOLVE, Reg. No. 1,655,283 (originally registered in the name of
Instrument Society of America and assigned to the Company by
assignment dated March 13, 1995 and filed in the United States Patent
and Trademark Office), expiring September 1996
The Company's trademarks are eligible for renewal at the time of their
expiration and may be maintained indefinitely by the Company, provided the
Company is still using the trademark and fulfills the United States Patent
and Trademark Office's filing requirements.
Additionally, the Company has filed trademark applications for the
trademarks "Enginuity" (one for products and another for services) and
"USA Training," which applications are currently pending in the United
States Patent and Trademark Office. See "Risk Factors -- Intellectual
Property."
Competition
There are many companies engaged in the business of providing training and
instructional materials. These companies include providers of traditional
instructor-led training, multimedia developers and sellers, textbook
publishers, manufacturers of videotapes, training films and others, all of
which compete for available training funds. At present, there are also
several providers of interactive multimedia training products. Management
believes that the number of companies providing interactive multimedia
training products will continue to increase in the future. Some of these
companies are larger and have greater resources than ITC, while others
offer only specialized training materials. Management believes that its
five "Learning Libraries" offer the broadest array of interactive
multimedia training products and services available. See "Risk Factors --
Competition."
Employees
At June 30, 1995, the Company and its subsidiaries employed a total of 78
people, all of whom are full-time. The Company utilizes free-lance and
temporary personnel who are familiar with ITC's development and production
process to support increased personnel requirements that arise from time
to time. The Company is not a party to any collective bargaining
agreements, and believes that relations with its employees are good.
Facilities
The Company currently occupies 28,431 square feet of office, warehouse and
production space in a commercial building located at 13515 Dulles
Technology Drive, Herndon, Virginia. The lease expires in June of 1999.
Further, the Company occupies approximately 6,450 square feet of office
space in a commercial building located at One Buckhead Plaza, Suite 1500,
3060 Peachtree Road, Atlanta, Georgia. This lease expires in January of
- 36 -
1996. All facilities are in good condition and are adequate for the
Company's use.
Legal Proceedings
The Company is not a party to, nor is any of its property the subject of,
any material pending legal proceedings.

Stock Options and Warrants
At June 30, 1995, the Company had outstanding options to purchase Common
Stock under three separate incentive stock option plans. Two plans, the
1992 Director Incentive Stock Option Plan and the 1992 Key Employee
Incentive Stock Option Plan, were adopted by the Board of Directors and
approved by the shareholders during 1992. These plans have effectively
replaced the Company's 1982 Incentive Stock Option Plan that expired in
1992.
Pursuant to the 1982 Incentive Stock Option Plan, at June 30, 1995, there
were 72,000 options outstanding at exercise prices ranging from $2.00 to
$3.16. This plan has no additional options available for grant. Options
exercisable at June 30, 1995 expire as follows: 48,000 in 1995 and 24,000
in 1996.
Pursuant to the 1992 Key Employee Incentive Stock Option Plan, at June 30,
1995, there were 94,000 options outstanding at exercise prices ranging
from $4.13 to $6.75, and 20,500 options were available for additional
grants. Options outstanding at June 30, 1995 expire as follows: 2,000 in
- 44 -
1996 and 92,000 in 1997 through 2002. Options for 34,000 shares were
exercisable at June 30, 1995.
Pursuant to the 1992 Director Incentive Stock Option Plan, at June 30,
1995, there were 6,000 options outstanding at an exercise price of $5.00,
and 29,000 options are available for additional grants. All 6,000 of
these options were exercisable at June 30, 1995 and expire in 1997. All
options granted pursuant to this plan are nonqualified.
From time to time, the Company has granted other nonqualified options to
certain individuals. At June 30, 1995, there were 120,000 of these
options outstanding at exercise prices ranging from $2.13 to $7.50.
Options outstanding at June 30, 1995 expire as follows: 9,000 in 1995 and
6,000 in 1996, and 105,000 in 1999 through 2001. Options for 90,000
shares were exercisable at June 30, 1995.
In connection with a 1987 $1,275,000 debenture financing, the Company
entered into warrant agreements with certain investment advisors.
Pursuant to the warrant agreements, these advisors may purchase up to
7,286 shares (14,572 shares adjusted for the 1992 stock split) of the
Company's Common Stock at an original purchase price of $7.00 per share
($3.50 per share as adjusted for the 1992 stock split). Such purchase
must occur in increments of 1,000 shares or more. The warrant agreements
expire July 31, 1998 and are transferrable only once. The warrant
agreements grant the holders certain "piggyback" registration rights only
if the Company registers shares represented by other outstanding warrants
or options. The Company has no current plans to register for sale any
shares underlying outstanding warrants or options.
Incentive Compensation Plan
Historically, the Company has adopted an Incentive Compensation Plan
("ICP") for each fiscal year, designed to provide additional incentive to
the Company's officers to achieve the growth and profitability goals of
the Company. The maximum compensation payable under the ICP is determined
by the Board of Directors at the beginning of each fiscal year and no
payments are made under the ICP in the event that the targeted revenues
and net income for ITC, as set forth in the ICP, are not achieved.
Payments to the participants in the ICP are based upon the participant
achieving targeted revenues, or in the case of those officers with both
revenue and net income responsibilities, achieving both targeted revenues
and targeted net income. Payments made under the ICP are calculated at
the end of each fiscal year and are paid to the eligible participants
within 15 days after completion of the annual audit of the Company's
financial statements and the Company's filing of its Annual Report on Form
10-KSB with the Commission.
Employee Stock Ownership Plan
- 45 -
Effective January 1, 1992, the Company established an Employee Stock
Ownership Plan ("ESOP") for the benefit of substantially all employees.
The purpose of the ESOP is to enable participating employees to share in
the growth of the Company. The ESOP requires that the greater of 33,334
shares or the amount of shares equal to five percent of total compensation
of eligible employees be allocated to employee accounts annually. Each
participating employee is allocated shares based upon his or her relative
annual compensation. The shares vest over time and are fully vested when
an employee has six years of service with the Company. The ESOP does not
require any monetary contribution from the participating employee, but has
a minimum eligibility requirement of 1,000 hours of service in any plan
year.
The ESOP is administered by three Trustees who are subject to the terms
and conditions of a separate trust agreement which specifies their duties.
Each ESOP participant is eligible for distribution of benefits no later
than the sixtieth (60th) day after the close of the plan year in which any
of the following events occur: (i) the participant attains the age of 65;
(ii) the occurrence of the tenth anniversary in which the participant
commenced participation in the plan; or (iii) the participant terminates
his service with the Company.
Limitation of Liability of Directors and Indemnification of Directors and
Officers
The Company's Restated Bylaws provide that in the absence of fraud or bad
faith, the Company will indemnify its directors and officers to the full
extent authorized by Maryland law against all liability and expenses
actually and reasonably incurred in connection with or resulting from any
action, suit or proceeding in which such person becomes involved by reason
of having been an officer or director of the Company. Insofar as
indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended ("Securities Act") may be permitted to directors, officers and
controlling persons of the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions,
or otherwise, the Company has been advised that, in the opinion of the
Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in
the Securities Act, and is therefore unenforceable.
There is no pending litigation or proceeding involving a director or
officer of the Company as to which indemnification is being sought, nor is
the Company aware of any pending or threatened litigation that may result
in claims for indemnification by any director or officer.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
As a result of the Company's 1993 acquisition of CI and its subsidiaries,
Comsell and ComSkill, all of the issued and outstanding equity securities
of CI were converted into the Company's Common Stock (the "Conversion").
In connection with the Conversion, a total of 610,000 shares of ITC Common
Stock ("Conversion Shares") were issued to 15 persons, including the
Selling Shareholders. Mr. Roden received 63,811 shares of ITC Common
Stock. TDH II Limited ("TDH"), of which Mr. Balderston is a partner,
received 432,911 shares of ITC Common Stock in exchange for its equity
interest in CI, and an additional 10,000 shares of ITC Common Stock for
certain consulting services related to the transaction. 113,278 shares of
ITC Common Stock were issued to CI's other shareholders in the CI
acquisition. The Conversion Shares and the 10,000 additional shares
issued to TDH are subject to certain resale restrictions under Rule 144
promulgated under the Securities Act. To the extent that these shares are
not sold in this Offering, they will begin to become eligible for future
sale subject to the limitations of Rule 144 commencing in October 1995.
Piggyback Registration Rights
As part of the acquisition of CI, the Company granted certain "piggyback"
registration rights to the holders of Conversion Shares. Under the
Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated September 30, 1993, between CI and ITC
(the "Merger Agreement"), ITC must, upon request, include former CI
shareholders' Conversion Shares in any registration statement that ITC
files with the Commission relating to a public offering of ITC Common
Stock. Such "piggyback" rights are conditioned upon inclusion of
Conversion Shares in the offering by the managing underwriter for the
offering. Notwithstanding such "piggyback" rights, the Company retains
control over all actions regarding a registration statement. The holders
of Conversion Shares bear a proportionate amount of any underwriting
discounts for their participation in the "piggyback" offering, and any
expenses incurred by legal counsel retained by holders of Conversion
Shares. The "piggyback" rights of holders of Conversion Shares expire on
September 30, 1996.
Demand Registration Rights
Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Company granted to the
holders of Conversion Shares a one-time demand registration right to
register the Conversion Shares for sale. This one-time demand
registration right may only be exercised upon request by a "Forty Percent
Holder," defined as any holder of forty percent of the Conversion Shares,
or a group of persons acting together to hold forty percent of the
Conversion Shares. Given the distribution of stock in the Conversion, the
registration rights may be exercised only if TDH elects to make such a
demand. The demand rights expire in October 1997. TDH has agreed not to
exercise the demand registration right for a period of 360 days after the
Offering and will not offer, sell or otherwise dispose of the Company's
Common Stock for 180 days after the Offering. See "Underwriting."

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 4,000,000 shares
of Common Stock, $.10 par value, of which 2,455,624 shares are issued and
outstanding as of June 30, 1995. Upon completion of the Offering, the
issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company will consist of
3,330,624 shares of Common Stock (3,440,192 shares if the over-allotment
option is exercised).
The Common Stock has voting rights and is entitled to dividends from
sources available therefor when, as and if declared by the Board of
Directors. See "Price Range of Common Stock and Dividend Policy."
Shareholders have no preemptive rights and no rights to convert their
Common Stock into any other securities. The holders of Common Stock are
entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters
submitted to a vote of the shareholders. In the event of a liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of the Company, holders of Common Stock are
entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining after payment of
liabilities and the liquidation preference of any then outstanding
preferred stock. There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions
- 51 -
applicable to the Common Stock. All outstanding shares are, and all
shares to be sold and issued as contemplated hereby will be, fully paid
and nonassessable and legally issued.
The Company has three classes of Directors, which may tend to delay,
defer, or prevent a change of control of the Company. In addition, the
following statutes may have a similar effect.
Business Combination Statute. The Maryland General Corporation Law
establishes special requirements with respect to "business combinations"
between Maryland corporations and "interested stockholders" unless
exemptions are applicable. Among other things, the law prohibits, for a
period of five years, a merger and other specific or similar transactions
between a company and an interested stockholder and requires a
supermajority vote for such transactions after the end of such five year
period.
"Interested stockholders" are all persons owning beneficially, directly or
indirectly, more than 10% of the outstanding voting stock of a Maryland
corporation. "Business combinations" include any merger or similar
transaction subject to a statutory vote and additional transactions
involving transfers of assets or securities in specified amounts to
interested stockholders or their affiliates. Unless an exemption is
available, transactions of these types may not be consummated between a
Maryland corporation and an interested stockholder or its affiliates for a
period of five years after the date on which the stockholder first became
an interested stockholder and, thereafter, may not be consummated unless
recommended by the board of directors of the Maryland corporation and
approved by the affirmative vote of at least 80% of the votes entitled to
be cast by all holders of outstanding shares of voting stock and 66 % of
the votes entitled to be cast by all holders of outstanding shares of
voting stock other than the interested stockholder. A business
combination with an interested stockholder which is approved by the board
of directors of a Maryland corporation at any time before an interested
stockholder first becomes an interested stockholder is not subject to the
special voting requirements.
An amendment to a Maryland corporation's charter electing not to be
subject to the foregoing requirements must be approved by the affirmative
vote of at least 80% of the votes entitled to be cast by all holders of
outstanding shares of voting stock and 66 % of the votes entitled to be
cast by holders of outstanding shares of voting stock who are not
interested stockholders. Any such amendment is not effective until 18
months after the vote of stockholders and does not apply to any business
combination of a corporation with a stockholder who was an interested
stockholder on the date of the stockholder vote. The Company has not
adopted any such amendment to its Charter.
Control Share Acquisition Statute. The Maryland General Corporation Law
imposes limitations on the voting rights of shares of capital stock
- 52 -
acquired in a "control share acquisition." The Maryland statute defines a
"control share acquisition" at the 20%, 33 % and 50% acquisition levels
and requires a two-thirds stockholder vote (excluding shares owned by the
acquiring person and certain members of management) to accord voting
rights to stock acquired in a control share acquisition. The statute also
requires Maryland corporations to hold a special meeting at the request of
an actual or proposed control share acquiror, generally, within 50 days
after a request is made with the submission of an "acquiring person
statement," but only if the acquiring person (a) posts a bond for the cost
of the meeting and (b) submits a definitive financing agreement to the
extent that financing is not provided by the acquiring person. In
addition, unless the charter or bylaws provide otherwise, the statute
gives the Maryland corporation, within certain time limitations, various
redemption rights if there is a stockholder vote on the issue and the
grant of voting rights is not approved, or if an "acquiring person
statement" is not delivered to the target within 10 days following a
control share acquisition. Moreover, unless the charter or bylaws provide
otherwise, the statute provides that if, before a control share
acquisition occurs, voting rights are accorded to control shares which
results in the acquiring person having majority voting power, then
minority stockholders have appraisal rights. An acquisition of shares may
be exempted from the control share statute, provided that a charter or
bylaw provision is adopted for such purpose prior to the control share
acquisition. There are no such provisions in the charter or bylaws of the
Company.
Reference is made to the full text of the foregoing statutes for their
entire terms, and the summary contained in this Prospectus is not intended
to be complete. The summary is qualified in its entirety by the statutes,
copies of which have been filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement
of which this Prospectus is a part.

Ferris, Baker Watts,
Incorporated
____________
Total 1,050,000
============
The nature of the Underwriters' obligations under the Underwriting
Agreement is such that all shares of Common Stock offered, excluding
shares covered by the over-allotment option granted to the Underwriters,
must be purchased if any are purchased. The Underwriting Agreement
provides that the obligations of the several Underwriters thereunder are
subject to the approval of certain legal matters by legal counsel and to
certain other conditions.
The Company and the Selling Shareholders have been advised by the
Representative that the several Underwriters propose to offer the shares
of Common Stock to the public initially at the price set forth on the
cover page of this Prospectus and to certain dealers at such price less a
concession not in excess of $ per share. The Underwriters may allow,
and such dealers may reallow, a concession not in excess of $ per
share to other dealers. The public offering price and concessions and
reallowances to dealers may be changed by the Representative.
The Company and TDH, one of the Selling Shareholders, have granted the
Underwriters an option, exercisable within 45 days after the date of this
Prospectus, to purchase up to an additional 157,500 shares of Common Stock
to cover over-allotments, at the same price per share to be paid by the
Underwriters for the other shares offered hereby. If the Underwriters
purchase any such additional shares pursuant to this option, each of the
Underwriters will be committed to purchase such additional shares in
approximately the same proportion as set forth in the above table. The
Underwriters may purchase such shares only to cover over-allotments, if
any, in connection with the Offering made hereby. If the over-allotment
option is exercised in full, TDH may elect to sell up to 47,932
additional shares in the over-allotment. If the over-allotment is
- 54 -
partially exercised, and TDH elects, then the Company and TDH will
participate on a pro-rata basis as provided in the Underwriting Agreement.
In connection with the Offering, certain Underwriters and/or their
affiliates may engage in passive market making transactions in the Common
Stock of the Company on the NASDAQ National Market System in accordance
with Rule 10b-6A under the Exchange Act during the period before
commencement of offers or sales of the Common Stock. The passive market
making transactions must comply with applicable volume and price limits
and be identifiable as such.
The Company and its executive officers and directors and certain
shareholders have agreed that for a period of 180 days after the date of
this Prospectus, they will not offer, sell or otherwise dispose of any
shares of the Company's Common Stock, in the open market or otherwise,
without the prior written consent of the Representative, except to effect
exercises of options.
The Company, the Selling Shareholders and the Underwriters have agreed to
indemnify each other against certain liabilities, including certain
liabilities under the Securities Act.
The Company has agreed to reimburse the Representative for expenses
incurred by the Representative in an amount not to exceed $27,500.
The Representative has informed the Company that it does not expect the
Underwriters to confirm sales of Common Stock offered by this Prospectus
to any accounts over which it exercises discretionary authority.
LEGAL OPINIONS
The validity of the Common Stock offered hereby will be passed upon for
the Company by Kirkpatrick & Lockhart LLP, Washington, D.C. Shapiro and
Olander, Baltimore, Maryland, has acted as counsel to the Underwriters.

Report of Independent Auditors
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Industrial Training Corporation
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Industrial
Training Corporation as of December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the related
consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows
for the years then ended. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial
position of Industrial Training Corporation at December 31, 1994 and 1993
and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the
years then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

See accompanying notes.
1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
------------------------------------------
a) Basis of Presentation
---------------------
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company
and its wholly owned subsidiary, CI Acquisition Corporation ("CI") (see
Note 13). Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation. The accompanying interim unaudited
consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules
and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion
of the Company, all adjustments, consisting of only normally recurring
adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements
for these interim periods have been made. The results for the interim
period ended June 30, 1995, are not necessarily indicative of the results
to be obtained for a full fiscal year.
b) Revenues and Cost
-----------------
Revenues from courseware include both off-the-shelf and custom courseware
sales and consulting service revenues. The Company recognizes revenues on
off-the-shelf product and hardware sales as units are shipped. The
Company permits the customer the right to return the courseware within 30
days of purchase. In the event that sales returns are material, the
Company adjusts revenue accordingly. Revenues from sales of custom
training programs that are developed and produced under specific contracts
with customers, including contracts with affiliated joint ventures and
limited partnerships, are recognized on the percentage of completion basis
as related costs are incurred during the production period. Gross
revenues from sales of affiliated joint venture and limited partnership
copyrighted courseware are included in the Company's financial statements,
as are related production, selling and distribution costs. Amounts due to
co-owners of the affiliated venture/partnerships related to such
courseware sales are reflected as royalties and included in cost of sales
in the financial statements.
The Company recognizes revenues from initial franchise fees when franchise
agreements have been fully executed, the Company has substantially
fulfilled all of its obligations to the franchisee under the agreement,
and the non-refundable franchise fee has been paid. During 1993 and 1994,
the Company recognized $90,000 and $450,000 of revenue from initial
franchise fees. Additionally, during the six month periods ended June 30,
1994 and 1995, the Company recognized $40,000 and $190,000, respectively,
of revenues from initial franchise fees. These amounts have been included
in courseware revenues in the accompanying consolidated statements of
operations.

INDUSTRIAL TRAINING CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Information at June 30, 1995 and for the
six months ended June 30, 1994 and 1995 is unaudited)
Although the Company conducts certain of its business in foreign markets,
the Company mitigates its exposure to foreign currency risk by requiring
payments in U.S. dollars.
c) Deferred Program Development Costs
----------------------------------
Costs of developing and producing off-the-shelf courseware have been
capitalized as deferred program development costs. Capitalized costs
include direct labor, materials, product masters, subcontractors,
consultants, and applicable overhead. These capitalized costs are
amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the
related programs which range from 3 to 7 years. The net book value of the
Company's deferred program development costs at December 31, 1994 amounted
to $1,881,000, $904,000, $210,000, and $1,363,000 for the Activ(REGISTERED
TRADEMARK) "PC Skills Learning Library," the Activ(REGISTERED TRADEMARK)
"Regulatory Training Learning Library," the Activ(REGISTERED TRADEMARK)
"Basic Skills Learning Library" and the Activ(REGISTERED TRADEMARK)
"Technical Skills Learning Library," respectively. The net book value of
the Company's deferred program development costs at June 30, 1995 amounted
to $1,741,000, $1,097,000, $192,000, $1,294,000 and $1,294,000 for the
Activ(REGISTERED TRADEMARK) "PC Skills Learning Library," the
Activ(REGISTERED TRADEMARK) "Regulatory Training Learning Library," the
Activ(REGISTERED TRADEMARK) "Basic Skills Learning Library," the
Activ(REGISTERED TRADEMARK) "Technical Skills Learning Library," and the
Activ(REGISTERED TRADEMARK) "INVOLVE(REGISTERED TRADEMARK) Instrumentation
Learning Library," respectively. Periodically, the Company assesses the
net realizable value of program development costs by reviewing past sales
performances, current and planned future marketing activity, specific
sales promotions and strategic distribution arrangements. Based on this
assessment, the Company determines each product's prospects for future
sales, and, if necessary, adjusts asset values to net realizable value.
The related amortization expense and write downs to net realizable value
are included in the cost of sales and amount to approximately $617,000 and
$1,325,000 in 1993 and 1994, respectively, and $894,000 for the six months
ended June 30, 1995.
d) Cash and Cash Equivalents
-------------------------
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash and other highly liquid
investments having original maturities of less than three months.
e) Inventories
-----------
Inventories consist of videodiscs, videotapes, related hardware and
instructional materials. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or
market. Cost is determined using the average cost method.

(Information at June 30, 1995 and for the
six months ended June 30, 1994 and 1995 is unaudited)
f) Property and Equipment
----------------------
Property, equipment and leasehold improvements are stated at cost.
Depreciation on property and equipment is computed on a straight-line
basis over estimated useful lives of five to seven years. Leasehold
improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of
the lease term or estimated useful lives of the related assets.
Depreciation and amortization expense amounted to approximately $305,000
and $366,000 for the years ended 1993 and 1994, respectively.
g) Investments in Affiliates
-------------------------
Investments in affiliated joint ventures and limited partnerships are
accounted for using the equity method and, accordingly, the initial cost
of the investments are adjusted for the Company's proportionate share of
joint venture and partnership undistributed earnings or losses.
h) Income Taxes
------------
The Company provides for income taxes using the liability method in
accordance with SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." Deferred
income taxes result primarily from differences between financial statement
and income tax treatment of program development costs and net operating
loss carryforwards.
i) Net Income Per Common Share
---------------------------
Net income per common share is based on the weighted average number of
common shares actually outstanding plus the shares that would be
outstanding assuming the exercise of dilutive stock options and warrants,
all of which are considered to be common stock equivalents.
j) Goodwill
--------
The excess of purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired
related to the acquisition of CI (note 2) has been recorded as goodwill.
Goodwill is being amortized using the straight-line method over an
estimated useful life of fifteen years. Amortization expense for the
years ended 1993 and 1994 amounted to approximately $40,000 and $166,000,
respectively. During 1994, the Company adjusted goodwill to reflect
adjustments to the value of net assets acquired from CI and to reflect
utilization of acquired tax benefits of CI (see Note 9). The net effect
of these two adjustments was to decrease the amount of goodwill originally
recorded by approximately $27,000. As part of its ongoing review,
management takes into consideration any events and circumstances which
might indicate an impairment to the carrying amount of goodwill. Factors
that management uses, among other things, to evaluate the continuing value
of goodwill include sales from the PC Skills product line, development of
the ComSkill franchise network and the value of contracts and agreements
that were in place at the date CI was acquired.

k) Reclassifications
-----------------
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the
current year presentation.
2) Acquisition of CI Acquisition Corporation and Subsidiaries
----------------------------------------------------------
On October 8, 1993, Comaq Corporation, a then newly formed and wholly
owned subsidiary of the Company, merged with CI. By virtue of the merger,
all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of CI was converted into
and exchanged for an aggregate of 610,000 shares of the Company's common
stock, $.10 par value per share. The Company issued an additional 10,000
shares of its common stock for fees related to the acquisition.
Additionally, the Company borrowed $971,000 from a bank ($900,000 of which
is in the form of a new five-year term loan) in order to refinance an
obligation of the acquired company.
The transaction, which was valued at approximately $3,500,000 and was
effective as of September 30, 1993, was accounted for as a purchase
transaction. Accordingly, only 3 months results of operations were
included in the accompanying consolidated statement of earnings for 1993.
As a result of the transaction, the Company recorded goodwill of
approximately $2,418,000 which is being amortized over a fifteen year
period beginning October 1, 1993. By virtue of the merger, the Company
acquired all of the assets of CI and its two wholly owned subsidiaries,
Comsell Training, Inc. ("Comsell"), and ComSkill Learning Centers, Inc.
("ComSkill"). Comsell is engaged in the business of producing and
distributing multimedia based training courseware directed towards
personal computer skills development. ComSkill is a newly incorporated
franchisor of Comsell training products (see Note 13).
The following table sets forth proforma unaudited results of operations of
the Company for the year ending December 31, 1993, as if CI had been
acquired prior to January 1, 1993:

The Company is a participant in five separate limited partnerships with
Industrial Training Partners, Ltd. (the ITP Partnerships). In all of the
ITP Partnerships, the Company is a 5% general partner. In certain of the
ITP Partnerships, the Company has acquired limited partnership interests
as well. The ITP Partnerships were formed to develop and produce various
series of training programs.
Under contracts to market the programs for the ITP Partnerships, ITC
receives 50% to 70% of the sales price for the costs of reproducing and
marketing the training materials. Sales of these programs were
approximately $2,289,000 and $2,291,000 in 1993 and 1994, respectively,
and $1,112,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1995. Royalties to the
ITP Partnerships for these sales amounted to $1,057,000 and $1,004,000 in

INDUSTRIAL TRAINING CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Information at June 30, 1995 and for the

1993 and 1994, respectively, and $455,000 for the six months ended June
30, 1995. Additionally, in connection with the development of a new off-
the-shelf partnership program, the Company billed certain of these
partnerships approximately $292,000 and $51,000 in 1993 and 1994,
respectively. Amounts earned, but not billed to these partnerships, which
are included in unbilled receivables at December 31, 1993 and 1994, are
$226,000 and none, respectively. Moreover, to finance this development,
the Company has guaranteed a bank loan to one of the limited partnerships.
At December 31, 1994 the outstanding balance of this loan was
approximately $48,000. During the first quarter of 1995, the outstanding
balance on this loan was paid by the partnership.
In prior years, the Company executed a 50-50 joint venture agreement with
DynCorp, and entered into contracts with the joint venture to develop and
produce additional training programs. The Company has contracts with the
joint venture to market the programs. Pursuant to the agreements, the
Company receives 50% of the sales price, the costs of reproducing and
marketing the training materials, and an additional 25% as its share of
the joint ventures' profits. Revenues from these programs in 1993 and
1994 approximated $124,000 and $162,000, respectively.
5) Leases
------
The Company has several noncancelable operating leases, primarily for
office space and transportation equipment, that expire over the next five
years and include purchase or renewal options at fair value at the time of
renewal.
Future minimum lease payments under noncancelable operating leases as of
December 31, 1994 are as follows:
Year ending December

6) Line of Credit
--------------
At December 31, 1994 and June 30, 1995, the Company had available a
revolving bank line of credit bearing interest at prime plus 1/2% in the
amount of $2,000,000 and $2,500,000, respectively. The line is
collateralized by all the Company's business assets. The interest rate on
these borrowings at December 31, 1994 was 9%. At June 30, 1995, the
Company had no outstanding balance under the terms of the line of credit.
The loan agreement places certain restrictions on the Company including
limitations on borrowings and on the ability to merge or dispose of
assets, and requires the maintenance of minimum working capital and
tangible net worth ratios. Also, the Company is required to maintain an
average compensating balance of $50,000 with the bank, but may apply
balances of the five limited partnerships (see Note 4) to the requirement.

Employee Incentive Stock Option Plan, were adopted by the Board of
Directors and approved by the shareholders during 1992. These plans have
effectively replaced the Company's 1982 Incentive Stock Option Plan which
expired in 1992.
Pursuant to the 1982 Incentive Stock Option Plan, at December 31, 1994,
there were 78,000 options outstanding at exercise prices ranging from

exercisable at December 31, 1993 expire in 1999. All options granted
pursuant to this plan are nonqualified.
From time to time, the Company has granted other nonqualified options to
certain individuals. At December 31, 1994, there were 45,000 of these
options outstanding at exercise prices ranging from $2.125 to $7.50.
Options outstanding at December 31, 1994 expire as follows: 9,000 in 1995

The deferred tax provision relates primarily to differences between
financial statement and income tax treatment of program development cost
and net operating loss carryforwards. The Company paid federal and state
income taxes of $23,000 and $8,000 in 1993 and 1994, respectively, and
$142,000 during the six months ended June 30, 1995.

The difference between income tax expense and the amount determined by
applying the federal statutory rate is as follows:

For the years ended December 31, 1993 and 1994, the Company utilized zero
and $1,550,000, respectively, of available net operating loss
carryforwards. At December 31, 1994, the Company had net operating loss
carryforwards for income tax purposes of approximately $100,000 (not
including the prior net operating losses acquired from CI, which are
discussed below) which expire at varying dates through 2008. No valuation
allowance has been recognized to offset the deferred tax assets related
to these carryforwards.
The following temporary differences give rise to the provision for
deferred taxes at December 31:

As a result of the Company's acquisition of CI (see Note 2), the Company
has available approximately $1,400,000 of additional net operating loss
carryforwards that expire at varying dates through 2007. Pursuant to
F-21
INDUSTRIAL TRAINING CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Information at June 30, 1995 and for the
six months ended June 30, 1994 and 1995 is unaudited)
Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"), the utilization of
the net operating loss is limited to approximately $245,000 per year.
Additionally, the net operating loss is also subject to the separate
return limitation year (SRLY) rules as prescribed in the Code, which limit
its utilization to the extent CI generates income each year. During 1994,
the Company utilized an aggregate of $226,000 of the acquired net
operating loss carryforwards of CI to offset taxable income. As a result,
deferred taxes have been reduced by approximately $84,000. Due to the
limitations on uses and other uncertainties relating to the utilization of
the remaining tax benefit of these deductions, a valuation allowance has
been recorded to substantially offset the net deferred tax asset related
to the acquisition of CI.
10) Commitments
-----------
The Company has entered into separate employment agreements with Messrs.
Walton and Kaiz which are subject to termination upon death (with $15,000
death benefit) or disability (as defined) or upon sixty days notice by
the Company (with 34 months of severance pay except where the Company is
liquidating). In addition to basic salary, each of these officers is
eligible to receive salary increases, bonuses, stock option grants,
pension and profit-sharing arrangements, and other employee benefits which
may from time to time be awarded or made available. If these officers
resign, they must give the Company 12 months notice during which they
continue to receive salary. The contracts also provide certain payments
for other benefits.
11) Stockholders' Equity
--------------------
The Company instituted an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) and Trust
for the benefit of substantially all employees effective January 1, 1992.
To establish the plan, ITC entered into a loan agreement with a bank and
borrowed $637,500 for the purchase of 200,000 shares of ITC common stock
from DynCorp. ITC pledged this stock to the bank to collateralize the
loan. The provisions of the ESOP require that, on an annual basis, the
greater of 33,334 shares or the amount of shares equal to five percent of
total compensation of eligible employees be allocated to employee
accounts. Each participant then receives shares based on their relative
annual compensation. The loan has a six-year amortization period at an
interest rate of 8.0%. In 1994, the Company entered into an agreement
with the bank whereby the ESOP note was modified and extended. Based upon
this modification, the Company will make monthly installments of principal
and interest through the extension date of December 1997. The Company
F-22
INDUSTRIAL TRAINING CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Information at June 30, 1995 and for the

recognizes contribution expense which was $106,000 and $108,000 for 1993
and 1994, respectively, based on the cost of shares allocated for the
period and any interest expense incurred. Contributions to the ESOP
amounted to approximately $151,000 and $135,000 in 1993 and 1994,
respectively, including approximately $45,000 and $32,000 of interest in
1993 and 1994, respectively. The fair market value of the 100,000
unearned shares at December 31, 1994 amounted to $750,000.
During 1994, the Company hired a new President of the ComSkill franchise
operation. At the date of hire, this executive executed a subscription
agreement to purchase 100,000 shares of the Company's common stock at
$4.125 per share, the fair market value of the Company's common stock on
the effective date of the subscription agreement. As a result, during
1994, the Company issued 100,000 shares of common stock to the executive
for an aggregate purchase price of $412,500. Additionally, the President
was granted 30,000 stock options under the 1992 Key Employee Stock Option
Plan and received a commitment for up to an additional 60,000 stock
options based on performance.
12) Employee 401(k) Plan
--------------------
On January 1, 1991, the Company established a 401(k) Plan for the benefit
of substantially all of its employees. Employees can contribute from 1%
to 15% of their salary to the Plan, subject to statutory limitations. At
the discretion of the Board of Directors, the Company can elect to make a
contribution to the Plan. No contribution was made by the Company during
1993 or 1994.
13) Subsequent Events
-----------------
On January 2, 1995, CI and Comsell were merged with and liquidated into
the Company. The merger and liquidation will have no effect on the
Company's financial reporting.
On February 17, 1995, ITC purchased all right, title and interest in the
51 videodiscs in the INVOLVE(REGISTERED TRADEMARK) Series
(INVOLVE(REGISTERED TRADEMARK)). INVOLVE(REGISTERED TRADEMARK) had
originally been produced by ITC for the ISA and the Company had acted as
the exclusive third party distributor for INVOLVE(REGISTERED TRADEMARK) in
the United States. The aggregate purchase price for this transaction was
approximately $1,590,000. The purchase price includes the forgiveness of a
receivable from ISA of approximately $90,000 and approximately $180,000 of
INVOLVE(REGISTERED TRADEMARK) inventory. In order to complete the

purchase, ITC borrowed $1,000,000 under its available line of credit and
paid the balance of $500,000 in cash. Management refinanced the line of
credit borrowings to a five-year term loan.
