PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
This summary highlights selected information contained elsewhere in this
prospectus. This summary may not contain all of the information that you should
consider before purchasing shares of our class A common stock. You should read
the entire prospectus carefully, including Risk Factors commencing on page 2,
before making an investment decision.
Internet Commerce Corporation
Internet Commerce Corporation is in the e-commerce business-to-business
communication services market, providing electronic commerce ("EC")
infrastructure solutions. References in this prospectus to the "Company," "ICC,"
"we" or "us" mean Internet Commerce Corporation, a Delaware corporation, and its
subsidiary on a consolidated basis, unless the context otherwise requires.
Our business operates in three segments. These three segments are:
o ICC.NET - Our ICC.NET service, the Company's global Internet-based
value added network or VAN, uses the Internet and our proprietary
technology to deliver our customers' documents and data files to
members of their trading communities, many of which may have
incompatible systems, by translating the documents and data files
into any format required by the receiver. We believe that our
ICC.NET service has significant advantages over traditional VANs,
email-based and other Internet-based software systems, because our
service is provided at a low cost, generally with greater
transmission speed in nearly real-time and offers more features.
o Service Bureau - Our Service Bureau manages and translates the data
of small and mid-sized companies that exchange EDI data with large
companies.
o Professional Services - Our Professional Services segment
facilitates the development and operation of comprehensive
business-to-business e-commerce solutions.
The mailing address of our principal executive offices is 805 Third
Avenue, New York, New York 10022, and our telephone number at that address is
(212) 271-7640.
The Offering
In connection with our private placement that closed on April 30, 2003 and
May 1, 2003, we issued an aggregate of 1,730,759 shares of our class A common
stock, warrants to purchase up to 1,538,445 shares of our class A common stock
at an exercise price per share of $1.47 and 250 shares of a newly created class
of preferred stock called Series D Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock, which
shares of Series D Preferred Stock are initially convertible into 192,307 shares
of our class A common stock. In addition, we granted certain registration rights
to the purchasers of our class A common stock, warrants and Series D Preferred
Stock.
In connection with the execution of an accounts receivable financing
agreement with Silicon Valley Bank, we issued to Silicon Valley Bank warrants to
purchase 40,000 shares of our class A common stock at an exercise price of $1.39
per share. In addition, we granted certain registration rights to Silicon Valley
Bank with respect to the shares of class A common stock issuable upon exercise
of these warrants.
This prospectus has been prepared, and the registration statement of which
this prospectus is a part has been filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, to satisfy our obligations to the purchasers of the aforementioned
securities. Accordingly, this prospectus covers:
o the resale by the selling stockholders of the 1,693,259 shares of
class A common stock issued in the private placement;
1
o the resale by the selling stockholders of up to 1,585,525 shares our
class A common stock issuable upon exercise of warrants issued in
the private placement and to Silicon Valley Bank; and
o the resale by the selling stockholders of up to 192,307 shares of
our class A common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series D
Preferred Stock.
Investing in our securities involves risks. You should carefully consider
the information under "Risk Factors" beginning below on this page 2 and the
other information included in this prospectus before investing in our
securities.
FORWARD LOOKING INFORMATION
This prospectus contains a number of "forward-looking statements" within
the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act") and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended. Specifically, all statements other than statements of historical facts
included in this prospectus regarding our financial position, business strategy
and plans and objectives of management for future operations are forward-looking
statements. These forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs of
management, as well as assumptions made by and information currently available
to management. When used in this prospectus, including the information
incorporated by reference, the words "anticipate," "believe," "estimate,"
"expect," "may," "will," "continue" and "intend," and words or phrases of
similar import, as they relate to our financial position, business strategy and
plans, or objectives of management, are intended to identify forward-looking
statements. These cautionary statements reflect our current view regarding
future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions related to
various factors which include but may not be limited to those listed under the
heading Risk Factors starting below on this page 2 and other cautionary
statements in this prospectus and in the information incorporated in this
prospectus by reference
Although we believe that our expectations are reasonable, we cannot assure
you that our expectations will prove to be correct. Should any one or more of
these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any underlying assumptions
prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described in this
prospectus as anticipated, believed, estimated, expected, intended or planned.
RISK FACTORS
You should carefully consider each of the following risk factors in
addition to the other information contained in this prospectus before purchasing
shares of our class A common stock. Investing in our class A common stock
involves a high degree of risk. Any of the following risks could materially and
adversely affect our business, operating results, financial condition and the
market price of our class A common stock and could result in the complete loss
of your investment.
Risks Relating to ICC
We have never earned a profit, may incur losses in the future and cannot
assure that we will be profitable in the future on an operating basis or
otherwise. We have incurred significant losses since we were founded in 1991. We
have never earned a profit in any fiscal quarter and, as of July 31, 2003, we
had an accumulated deficit of approximately $81.8 million.
Our revenues are primarily dependent on the number of customers who
subscribe to our ICC.NET VAN service and the volume of the data, documents or
other information they send or retrieve utilizing this service. We are primarily
focusing on our ICC.NET service and its success, as well as the success of our
other services, depends to a large extent on the future of business-to-business
electronic commerce, our ability to compete in the marketplace and our ability
to earn a profit, each of which is uncertain. As a result, we may incur
additional losses in the near future.
2
Our expected revenue growth for the foreseeable future is almost entirely
dependent on the success of our ICC.NET service. If our revenues grow at a
slower rate than we anticipate, or decrease, and we are unable to adjust
spending in a timely manner or if our expenses increase without commensurate
increases in revenues, our operating results will suffer and we may not ever
achieve profitability.
We may not be able to compete effectively in the business-to-business
electronic commerce market, which could limit our market share and harm our
financial performance.
Our principal competitors include: Inovis Inc.; GXS, Global eXchange
Services Inc.; International Business Machines Corporation Global Services;
Sterling Commerce, Inc.; EasyLink Services Corp.; and Kleinschmidt Inc.
Our market is characterized by intense price competition and rapidly
changing technology, customer demands and innovation. The Internet's growth and
the intense competition in our industry resulted in significant changes.
Traditional VAN's such as GXS and Inovis have been sold by their parent
companies. GXS was acquired by Francisco Partners, Inovis was spun off from
Peregrine Systems, Inc. and acquired by Golden Gate Capital Inc. We believe that
much of this activity is attributed to the impact of the Internet on traditional
VAN's.
Our principal competitors have significant existing customer relationships
and larger financial, marketing, customer support, technical and other resources
than we do. As a result, they may be able to respond more quickly to changing
technology and changes in customer requirements or be able to undertake more
extensive marketing campaigns, adopt more aggressive pricing policies and make
more attractive offers to potential customers and employees, or be able to
devote greater resources to the development, promotion and sale of their
services than we can. As a result, we may not be successful in competing against
our competitors.
New competition is emerging in the form of web services networks,
collaborative applications, application service providers, e-marketplaces and
integration broker suites. ICC has enhanced its technologies to communicate with
these AS2-based technologies. Competitors providing these alternatives include
Cyclone Corporation and Inovis. They offer software solutions that utilize the
Internet to transmit data between trading partners. We believe that the high
cost of implementation and the ongoing costs of supporting a company's trading
partners are a barrier to the wider acceptance of their product offerings in the
marketplace.
Our catalog service competes with Quick Response Systems Corporation, or
QRS, QRS and Global eXchange Services have dominated the catalog service
industry for more than ten years, but we believe that our catalog pricing and
functionality may create competitive advantages for our service.
Furthermore, we rely on many of our competitors to interconnect with our
service to promote an "open community" so all businesses can take advantage of
the efficiencies of EDI, no matter what network they choose as their provider.
In September 2001 and April 2002, two of our competitors, GXS and Sterling
Commerce, terminated existing interconnect agreements with us and we made
alternative arrangements to serve our customers.
If we are successful in utilizing our ICC.NET platform to provide new
services, we may enter into different markets and may face the same or
additional competitors, most of which will have substantially greater financial
and other resources than we do.
3
If we are unable to obtain necessary future capital, our business will
suffer. As of July 31, 2003, we had unrestricted cash and marketable securities
in the amount of approximately $2.4 million. We may need to raise additional
funds if competitive pressures or technological changes are greater than
anticipated, if we are unable to increase revenue at anticipated rates, if our
expenses increase significantly or if our customers delay payment of our
receivables. We cannot assure you that any additional financing will be
available on reasonable terms or at all. Raising additional funds in the future
by issuing securities could adversely affect our stockholders and negatively
impact our operating results. If we raise additional funds through the issuance
of debt securities, the holders of the debt securities will have a claim to our
assets that will have priority over any claim of our stockholders. The interest
on these debt securities would increase our costs and negatively impact our
operating results. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of class A
common stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for class A common
stock, the percentage ownership of our then-existing stockholders will decrease
and they may experience additional dilution. In addition, any convertible or
exchangeable securities may have rights, preferences and privileges more
favorable to the holders than those of the class A common stock.
If we lose our net operating loss carryforward of approximately $75
million, our financial results will suffer. Section 382 of the Internal Revenue
Code contains rules designed to discourage persons from buying and selling the
net operating losses of companies. These rules generally operate by focusing on
ownership changes among stockholders owning directly or indirectly 5% or more of
the common stock of a company or any change in ownership arising from a new
issuance of stock by a company. In general, the rules limit the ability of a
company to utilize net operating losses after a change of ownership of more than
50% of its common stock over a three-year period. Purchases of our class A
common stock in amounts greater than specified levels could inadvertently create
a limitation on our ability to utilize our net operating losses for tax purposes
in the future. We are currently subject to a limitation on the utilization of
our net operating loss carryforward.
If we are unable to manage our growth, our financial results will suffer.
Our ability to implement our business plan successfully in a new and rapidly
evolving market requires effective planning and growth management. If we cannot
manage our anticipated growth effectively, our business and financial results
will suffer. We expect that we will need to continue to manage and to expand
multiple relationships with customers, Internet service providers and other
third parties. We also expect that we will need to continue to improve our
financial systems, procedures and controls and will need to expand, train and
manage our workforce, particularly our information technology and sales and
marketing staffs.
If we do not keep pace with rapid technological changes, customer demands
and intense competition, we will not be successful. Our market is characterized
by rapidly changing technology, customer demands and intense competition. The
satisfactory performance, reliability and availability of our network
infrastructure, customer support and document delivery systems and our web site
are critical to our reputation and our ability to attract customers and maintain
adequate customer service levels. If we cannot keep pace with these changes, and
maintain the performance and reliability of our network, our ICC.NET service
could become uncompetitive and our business will suffer. The Internet's recent
growth and the intense competition in our industry require us to continue to
develop strategic business and Internet solutions that enhance and improve the
customer service features, functions and responsiveness of our ICC.NET and other
proposed services and that keep pace with continuing changes in information
technology and customer requirements. If we are not successful in developing and
marketing enhancements to our ICC.NET or other proposed services that respond to
technological change or customer demands, our business will suffer.
Failure of our third-party providers to provide adequate Internet and
telecommunications service could result in significant losses of revenue. Our
operations depend upon third parties for Internet access and telecommunications
service. Frequent or prolonged interruptions of these services could result in
significant losses of revenues. Each of them has experienced outages in the past
and could experience outages, delays and other difficulties due to system
failures unrelated to our online architecture. These types of occurrences could
also cause users to perceive our services as not functioning properly and
therefore cause them to use other methods to deliver and receive information. We
have limited control over these third parties and cannot assure you that we will
be able to maintain satisfactory relationships with any of them on acceptable
commercial terms or that the quality of services that they provide will remain
at the levels needed to enable us to conduct our business effectively.
4
We may suffer systems failures and business interruptions that would harm
our business. Our success depends in part on the efficient and uninterrupted
operation of our service which is required to accommodate a high volume of
traffic. Almost all of our network operating systems are located at the
Securities Industry Automation Corporation, or SIAC. SIAC runs all computing
operations for the New York Stock Exchange and the American Stock Exchange. Our
systems are vulnerable to events such as damage from fire, power loss,
telecommunications failures, break-ins and earthquakes. This could lead to
interruptions or delays in our service, loss of data or the inability to accept,
transmit and confirm customer documents and data. Our business may suffer if our
service is interrupted. Although we have implemented network security measures,
our servers may be vulnerable to computer viruses, electronic break-ins,
attempts by third parties deliberately to exceed the capacity of our systems and
similar disruptions.
If we cannot successfully expand our business outside of the United
States, our revenues and operating results will be adversely affected. Our
current and future customers are conducting their businesses internationally. As
a result, an important component of our business strategy is to expand our
international marketing and sales efforts and if we do not successfully expand
our business in this way, we may lose current and future customers.
If we cannot hire and retain highly qualified employees, our business and
financial results will suffer. We are substantially dependent on the continued
services and performance of our executive officers and other key employees. If
we are unable to attract, assimilate and retain highly qualified employees, our
management may not be able to effectively manage our business, exploit
opportunities and respond to competitive challenges and our business and
financial results will suffer. Many of our competitors may be able to offer more
lucrative compensation packages and higher-profile employment opportunities than
we can.
We depend on our intellectual property, which may be difficult and costly
to protect. If we fail to adequately protect our proprietary rights, competitors
could offer similar products relying on technologies we developed, potentially
harming our competitive position and decreasing our revenues. We attempt to
protect our intellectual property rights by limiting access to the distribution
of our software, documentation and other proprietary information and by relying
on a combination of patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret laws. In
addition, we enter into confidentiality agreements with our employees and
certain customers, vendors and strategic partners. In some circumstances,
however, we may, if required by a business relationship, provide our licensees
with access to our data model and other proprietary information underlying our
licensed applications.
Despite the precautions we take, it may be possible for unauthorized third
parties to copy aspects of our current or future products or to obtain and use
information that we regard as proprietary. Policing unauthorized use of software
is difficult, and some foreign laws do not protect proprietary rights to the
same extent as United States laws. Litigation may be necessary in the future to
enforce our intellectual property rights, to protect our trade secrets or to
determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others, any of
which could be costly and adversely affect our operating results.
Intellectual property infringement claims against us could harm our
business. Our business activities and our ICC.NET service may infringe upon the
proprietary rights of others and other parties may assert infringement claims
against us. Any such claims and any resulting litigation could subject us to
significant liability for damages and could invalidate our proprietary rights.
We could be required to enter into royalty and licensing agreements, which may
be costly or otherwise burdensome or which may not be available on terms
acceptable to us.
Risks Relating to the Internet and Online Commerce Aspects of Our Business
If Internet usage does not continue to grow or if its infrastructure
fails, our business will suffer. If the Internet does not gain increased
acceptance for business-to-business electronic commerce, our business will not
grow or become profitable. We cannot be certain that the infrastructure or
complementary services necessary to maintain the Internet as a useful and easy
means of transferring documents and data will continue to develop. The Internet
infrastructure may not support the demands that growth may place on it and the
performance and reliability of the Internet may decline.
5
Privacy concerns may prevent customers from using our services. Concerns
about the security of online transactions and the privacy of users may inhibit
the growth of the Internet as a means of delivering business documents and data.
We may need to incur significant expenses and use significant resources to
protect against the threat of security breaches or to alleviate problems caused
by security breaches. We rely upon encryption and authentication technology to
provide secure transmission of confidential information. If our security
measures do not prevent security breaches, we could suffer operating losses,
damage to our reputation, litigation and possible liability. Advances in
computer capabilities, new discoveries in the field of cryptography or other
developments that render current encryption technology outdated may result in a
breach of our encryption and authentication technology and could enable an
outside party to steal proprietary information or interrupt our operations.
Government regulation and legal uncertainties relating to the Internet
could harm our business. Changes in the regulatory environment in the United
States and other countries could decrease our revenues and increase our costs.
The Internet is largely unregulated and the laws governing the Internet remain
unsettled, even in areas where there has been some legislative action. It may
take years to determine whether and how existing laws such as those governing
intellectual property, privacy and taxation apply to the Internet. In addition,
because of increasing popularity and use of the Internet, any number of laws and
regulations may be adopted in the United States and other countries relating to
the Internet or other online services covering issues such as:
o user privacy;
o security;
o pricing and taxation;
o content; and
o distribution.
Costs of transmitting documents and data could increase, which would harm
our business and operating results. The cost of transmitting documents and data
over the Internet could increase. We may not be able to increase our prices to
cover these rising costs. Also, foreign and state laws and regulations relating
to the provision of services over the Internet are still developing. If
individual states or foreign countries impose taxes or laws that negatively
impact services provided over the Internet, our cost of providing our ICC.NET
and other services may increase.
Risks Relating to our Class A Common Stock
Trading of our class A common stock is volatile. The market price of our
class A common stock has been very volatile in the past, ranging from a high of
$4.80 to a low of $0.77 between August 1, 2001 and the date of this prospectus,
and is likely to fluctuate substantially in the future. If our class A common
stock fails to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 for 30 consecutive trading
days, it may no longer be eligible for trading in The Nasdaq SmallCap Market.
Shares eligible for future sale by our existing stockholders may adversely
affect our stock price and may render it difficult to sell class A common stock.
Between October 2001 and October 2003, we have registered on one or more
registration statements, an aggregate of 2,028,564 shares of class A common
stock. The market price of our class A common stock could be materially and
adversely affected by sales of even a small percentage of these shares or the
perception that these sales could occur.
The market for our class A common stock may be illiquid, which would
restrict your ability to sell your shares of class A common stock. Our class A
common stock is trading on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market. It is possible that the
trading market for the class A common stock in the future will be thin and
illiquid, which could result in increased volatility in the trading prices for
our class A common stock. The price at which our class A common stock will trade
in the future cannot be predicted and will be determined by the market. The
price may be influenced by many factors, including investors' perceptions of our
business, our financial condition, operating results and prospects, the use of
the Internet for business purposes and general economic and market conditions.
6
Our board of directors can issue preferred stock with rights adverse to
the holders of class A common stock. Our board of directors is authorized,
without further stockholder approval, to determine the provisions of and to
issue up to 4,979,575 shares of preferred stock. Issuance of preferred shares
with rights to dividends and other distributions, voting rights or other rights
superior to the class A common stock could be adverse to the holders of class A
common stock. In addition, issuance of preferred shares could have the effect of
delaying, deterring or preventing an unsolicited change in control of our
company, or could impose various procedural and other requirements that could
make it more difficult for holders of our class A common stock to effect certain
corporate actions, including the replacement of incumbent directors and the
completion of transactions opposed by the incumbent Board of Directors. The
rights of the holders of our class A common stock would be subject to, and may
be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of any preferred stock that
may be issued in the future. We are also subject to Section 203 of the Delaware
General Corporation Law, which prohibits us from engaging in a business
combination with any "interested" stockholder (as defined in Section 203) for a
period of three years from the date the person becomes an interested
stockholder, unless certain conditions are met.
We may have to use significant resources indemnifying our officers and
directors or paying for damages caused by their conduct. The Delaware General
Corporation Law provides for broad indemnification by corporations of their
officers and directors and permits a corporation to exculpate its directors from
liability for their actions. Our bylaws and certificate of incorporation
implement this indemnification and exculpation to the fullest extent permitted
under this law as it currently exists or as it may be amended in the future.
Consequently, subject to this law and to some limited exceptions in our
certificate of incorporation, none of our directors will be liable to us or to
our stockholders for monetary damages resulting from conduct as a director.
USE OF PROCEEDS
If the warrants are exercised in full, we would realize proceeds, before
expenses, in the amount of approximately $2,327,522. The net proceeds of the
exercise of the warrants will be used for general corporate purposes.
The selling stockholders are selling all the shares of class A common
stock covered by this prospectus for their own account. We will not receive any
proceeds from the sale of shares of class A common stock by the selling
stockholders.

On April 30, 2003 and May 1, 2003, we completed a private placement of
1,730,759 shares of our class A common stock, warrants to purchase an aggregate
of 1,538,445 shares of our class A common stock and 250 shares of our Series D
Preferred Stock. The private placement resulted in gross proceeds to us of
approximately $2,085,000 and the settlement of certain outstanding payables
valued at $50,000. The Company issued 1,730,759 shares of Class A Common Stock,
250 shares of newly authorized Series D Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock,
which are initially convertible into 192,307 shares of Class A Common Stock at
$1.30 per share, and five year warrants exercisable for 1,538,445 shares of
Class A Common Stock at $1.47 per share.
We entered into a registration rights agreement with the investors dated
April 30, 2003. Pursuant to the registration rights agreement, we agreed to file
with the SEC a registration statement covering the resale of all of our shares
of class A common stock issued or issuable in the private placement and covered
by this prospectus pursuant to Rule 415 of the Securities Act. Accordingly, we
filed a registration statement on Form S-3, of which this prospectus forms a
part, with respect to the resale of these shares from time to time. In addition,
we agreed to use our commercially reasonable efforts to cause the registration
statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as
possible thereafter, and use commercially reasonable efforts to keep the
registration statement effective for two years following the closing of the
private placement, unless the shares of our class A common stock issued or
issuable in the private placement and covered by this prospectus have been sold
and the distribution of the shares has been completed.

Financing Agreement
On May 30, 2003, we executed an accounts receivable financing agreement
with Silicon Valley Bank with a term of 1 year, which was extended to August 31,
2004. In connection with the financing agreement, we issued to Silicon Valley
Bank warrants to purchase 40,000 shares of our class A common stock. The
warrants are immediately exercisable at an exercise price of $1.39 per share,
equal to the fair market value of our class A common stock on the date of
closing of the financing agreement. The warrants are exercisable for a
seven-year period.
In connection with the financing agreement, we entered into a registration
rights agreement with Silicon Valley Bank dated May 30, 2003. Pursuant to the
registration rights agreement, we granted certain piggyback registration rights
to the bank and accordingly, have agreed to include in this registration
statement, for resale, all of our shares of class A common stock issuable upon
exercise of the warrants issued to the Silicon Valley Bank and covered by this
prospectus pursuant to Rule 415 of the Securities Act. In addition, we agreed to
use our commercially reasonable efforts keep this registration statement
effective until such time as, in the opinion of counsel for the Company,
registration of the shares of our class A common stock issuable upon exercise of
the warrants is no longer required by the Securities Act and other applicable
securities laws in connection with a proposed sale of such shares.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
ICC is registering the shares of class A common stock on behalf of the
selling stockholders. We anticipate that the selling stockholders may sell all
or a portion of the shares of class A common stock offered by this prospectus
from time to time on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market, on other securities exchanges
or in private transactions, at fixed prices, at market prices prevailing at the
time of sale or at prices reasonably related to the market price, at negotiated
prices, or by a combination of these methods of sale through:
o ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker
solicits purchases;
o sales to one or more brokers or dealers as principal, and the resale
by those brokers or dealers for their account, including resales to
other brokers and dealers;
11
o block trades in which a broker or dealer will attempt to sell the
shares of class A common stock as agent but may position and resell
a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
or
o privately negotiated transactions with purchasers.
We are not aware as of the date of this prospectus of any agreements
between the selling stockholders and any broker-dealers regarding the sale of
the shares of class A common stock offered by this prospectus, although we have
made no inquiry in that regard. In connection with distributions of the shares
of class A common stock, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging
transactions with broker-dealers. In connection with these transactions:
o broker-dealers may engage in short sales of the shares of class A
common stock covered by this prospectus in the course of hedging the
positions they assume with selling stockholders;
o the selling stockholders may sell shares of class A common stock
short and deliver the shares of class A common stock offered by this
prospectus to close out their short positions;
o the selling stockholders may enter into option or other transactions
with broker-dealers that require the delivery to the broker-dealer
of the shares of class A common stock offered by this prospectus,
which the broker-dealer may resell according to this prospectus; and
o the selling stockholders may loan or pledge (or engage in other
transactions in which record ownership of the shares does not change
except under certain circumstances) the shares of class A common
stock offered by this prospectus to a broker or dealer who may sell
the loaned shares, or upon a default, the broker or dealer may
effect sales of the loaned or pledged shares according to this
prospectus.
All costs, fees and expenses of registration incurred in connection with
the offering will be borne by us. All selling and other expenses incurred by the
selling stockholders will be borne by the selling stockholders. We have agreed
to indemnify or provide contributions to the selling stockholders for certain
liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.
The selling stockholders and any broker, dealer or other agent executing
sell orders on behalf of the selling stockholders may be considered to be
underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act. If so, commissions
received by any of these brokers, dealers or agents and profit on any resale of
the shares of class A common stock may be considered to be underwriting
commissions under the Securities Act. These commissions received by a broker,
dealer or agent may be in excess of customary compensation.
The selling stockholders also may resell all or a portion of the shares of
class A common stock offered by this prospectus in reliance upon Rule 144 under
the Securities Act, provided that they meet the criteria and conform to the

We have notified the selling stockholders that they will be subject to
applicable provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and its rules and
regulations, including, among others, Rule 102 under Regulation M. These
provisions may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares of
class A common stock by the selling stockholders. Rule 102 under Regulation M
provides, with some exceptions, that it is unlawful for the selling stockholders
or their affiliated purchasers to, directly or indirectly, bid for or purchase,
or attempt to induce any person to bid for or purchase, for an account in which
the selling stockholders or affiliated purchasers have a beneficial interest,
any securities that are the subject of the distribution during the applicable
restricted period under Regulation M. All of the above may affect the
marketability of the shares of class A common stock. To the extent required by
law, we may require the selling stockholders, and their brokers, if applicable,
to provide a letter that acknowledges compliance with Regulation M under the
Exchange Act before authorizing the transfer of the selling stockholders' shares
of class A common stock.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
The following summary description of the material terms of our capital
stock and warrants is not intended to be complete. The terms of our capital
stock are also governed by the provisions of our certificate of incorporation
and bylaws, which are included as exhibits to the registration statement, and
the Delaware General Corporation Law. You should read our certificate of
incorporation and bylaws very carefully. Some of the relevant provisions of our
certificate of incorporation and bylaws and the Delaware General Corporation Law
are discussed under the heading Delaware Law and Certificate of Incorporation
and Bylaw Provisions on page 15 of this prospectus.
We have the authority to issue up to 40,000,000 shares of class A common
stock, 2,000,000 shares of class B common stock and 5,000,000 shares of
preferred stock.
Common Stock
Class A common stock
As of July 31, 2003, there were 13,797,566 shares of class A common stock
outstanding, held of record by approximately 200 stockholders. The class A
common stock is currently trading on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market under the symbol
"ICCA."
Holders of class A common stock are entitled to one vote per share on all
matters to be voted on by our common stockholders. Subject to the preferences of
the preferred stock, the holders of class A common stock are entitled to a
proportional distribution of any dividends that may be declared by the board of
directors, provided that if any distributions are made to the holders of class A
common stock, identical per-share distributions must be made to the holders of
the class B common stock, even if the distributions are in class A common stock.
In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of ICC, the holders of
class A common stock are entitled to share equally with holders of the class B
common stock in all assets remaining after liabilities and amounts due to
holders of preferred stock have been paid in full or set aside. Class A common
stock has no preemptive, redemption or conversion rights. The rights of holders
of common stock are subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of
the holders of shares of series C preferred stock and series D preferred stock
or any other series of preferred stock that ICC may designate and issue in the
future.
Class B common stock
There are no shares of class B common stock outstanding. The class B
common stock is identical to the class A common stock, except that each share of
class B common stock is entitled to six votes.
Preferred Stock
Our certificate of incorporation authorizes our board of directors,
without any approval of our stockholders, to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of
preferred stock from time to time and in one or more series and to fix the
number of shares of any series and the designation, conversion, dividend,
liquidation preference and other rights of the series. The board of directors
has designated 10,000 shares of preferred stock as series A preferred stock, 175
shares of preferred stock as series S preferred stock, 10,000 shares of
preferred stock as series C preferred stock and 250 shares of preferred stock as
series D preferred stock. No shares of series A preferred stock or series S
preferred stock are outstanding and the Board of Directors does not intend to
authorize the issuance of any of these shares.
Future issuances of preferred stock may have the effect of delaying or
preventing a change in control of ICC. The issuance of preferred stock could
decrease the amount of earnings and assets available for distribution to the
holders of common stock or could adversely affect the rights and powers,
including voting rights, of the holders of our common stock. In some
circumstances, the issuance of preferred stock could have the effect of
decreasing the market price of our common stock.
13
Series C Preferred Stock
As of July 31, 2003, ICC had 10,000 shares of series C preferred stock
outstanding, held by one stockholder.
Series C preferred stock is convertible, at the option of the holder, into
class A common stock. Each share of series C preferred stock is convertible into
a number of shares of class A common stock determined by dividing $1,000 by the
conversion price at the date of conversion. The conversion price for the series
C preferred stock is $22.34 per share, which is subject to adjustment in the
case of a reclassification, subdivision or combination of ICC's common stock and
upon a consolidation, merger or sale of substantially all of the assets of ICC.
Series C preferred stock is redeemable, in whole or in part, by ICC,
commencing on January 5, 2005. The redemption price for each share of series C
preferred stock is $1,000 plus unpaid dividends. Notice of redemption must be
given not less than fifteen days nor more than 45 days before the redemption
date.
Upon a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of ICC, the holder of series
C preferred stock is entitled to receive an amount equal to $1,000 per share of
series C preferred stock plus unpaid dividends before any distribution is made
to holders of common stock or any other class or series of stock (including the
series D preferred stock).
The holder of the outstanding shares of series C preferred stock is
entitled to a 4% annual dividend payable in cash or in shares of class A common
stock (valued at the then market price of the class A common stock), at the
option of ICC. These dividends are payable on each January 1 and commenced on
January 1, 2001. ICC elected to issue 111,142 shares of class A common stock in
payment of the dividend due on January 1, 2001, 98,839 shares of class A common
stock in payment of the dividend due on January 1, 2002 and 302,343 shares of
class A common stock in payment of the dividend due on January 1, 2003.
Each share of series C preferred stock is entitled to a number of votes
equal to the number of whole shares of common stock into which each share of
series C preferred is convertible as of the record date for the determination of
stockholders entitled to vote on any matter submitted to stockholders. As of the
date of this prospectus, each share of series C preferred stock is entitled to
approximately 44.76 votes.
Series D Preferred Stock
As of July 31, 2003, 2003, ICC had 250 shares of series D preferred stock
outstanding, held by one stockholder.
Series D preferred stock is convertible, at the option of the holder, into
class A common stock. Each share of series D preferred stock is convertible into
a number of shares of class A common stock determined by dividing $1,000 by the
conversion price at the date of conversion. The conversion price for the series
D preferred stock is $1.30 per share, which is subject to adjustment in the case
of a reclassification, subdivision or combination of ICC's common stock and upon
a consolidation, merger or sale of substantially all of the assets of ICC.
Subject to the existence of certain conditions, the series D preferred
stock is redeemable, in whole or in part, by ICC, commencing on the day that is
the second anniversary after the first date on which the series D preferred
stock is issued. The redemption price for each share of series D preferred stock
is $1,000 plus all accrued by unpaid dividends. Notice of redemption must be
given not less than fifteen days nor more than 45 days before the redemption
date.
Upon a voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, reorganization
or winding-up of ICC, the holder of series D preferred stock are entitled to
receive an amount equal to $1,000 per share of series D preferred stock plus
accrued and unpaid dividends before any distribution is made to holders of class
A common stock and any issued class of securities ranking junior in liquidation
preference to the series D preferred stock but after provision for the holders
of series C preferred stock.
14
The holder of the outstanding shares of series D preferred stock is
entitled to a dividend when and if declared by the Board of Directors.
Each share of series D preferred stock is entitled to a number of votes
equal to the number of whole shares of class A common stock into which each
share of series D preferred is convertible as of the record date for the
determination of stockholders entitled to vote on any matter submitted to
stockholders. As of the date of this prospectus, each share of series D
preferred stock is entitled to approximately 769 votes.
Warrants
In April 1999, a consultant received warrants to purchase 18,000 shares of
class A common stock for consulting services performed for ICC. Each warrant
entitles the holder upon exercise to purchase 1.36891 shares of class A common
stock for $9.94 per share and expires in March 2004. As of July 31, 2003, all of
these warrants were outstanding.
In connection with our strategic global alliance with Cable & Wireless
plc, we issued to Cable & Wireless warrants to purchase 400,000 shares of our
class A common stock. Each of these warrants entitles the holder upon exercise
to purchase one share of class A common stock for $22.21 per share and expires
in January 2005. The number and exercise price of these warrants are subject to
appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, subdivision or
combination of the outstanding class A common stock. As of July 31, 2003, all of
these warrants were outstanding.
On October 29, 2001, we sold in a private placement 1,159,716 shares of
class A common stock and warrants to purchase 347,915 additional shares of class
A common stock for gross proceeds of $3,189,219. The warrants expire in October
2006 and are exercisable at $3.58 per share. The warrants are redeemable at our
option for $.10 per warrant commencing in April 2003 if the closing bid price of
our class A common stock is at least 200% of the exercise price of the warrants
for 30 consecutive trading days. In connection with the private placement, we
incurred fees of $152,111, of which $35,000 was paid in cash and $117,511 was
paid by issuing warrants to purchase 50,000 shares of class A common stock.
These warrants have substantially the same terms as the warrants issued in the
October 2001 private placement.
We commenced a warrant exchange offer on April 23, 2002 that ended on May
31, 2002. The offer was made to investors who participated in the private
placement on October 29, 2001 and to holders of warrants issued as fees in
connection with the private placement. The offer reduced the exercise price of
the warrants issued in the private placement to $2.50 per share for those
investors that agreed to exercise those warrants. In addition, for each share of
class A common stock purchased pursuant to the warrant exercise, a new five-year
warrant to purchase an equivalent number of shares of class A common stock was
issued. These warrants have an exercise price of $3.50 per share and otherwise
contain the same terms as the warrants issued in the private placement. We
received $659,288 in proceeds and issued a total of 263,715 shares of class A
common stock and warrants to purchase the same number of shares of class A
common stock.
On July 11, 2002, we entered into a settlement agreement with ING Merger,
LLC and ING Capital, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of ING Merger, pursuant to
which, we issued to ING Capital warrants to purchase 60,000 shares of class A
common stock at an exercise price of $3.58 per share in settlement of
outstanding fees owed to ING Barings LLC. The warrants are exercisable for a
five-year period. We may redeem the warrants, at our option, if the closing bid
price of the class A common stock exceeds 200% of the exercise price for a
period of 30 consecutive trading days and if the shares of stock deliverable
upon exercise may be sold in whole. The redemption price is ten cents per
warrant.
15
On April 30, 2003 and May 1, 2003, we sold in a private placement
1,682,683 shares of our class A common stock, warrants to purchase an aggregate
of 1,499,985 shares of our class A common stock at an exercise price per share
of $1.47 and 250 shares of our Series D Preferred Stock, resulting in gross
proceeds of approximately $2,085,500. In addition, we issued 48,076 shares of
class A common stock and warrants to purchase 38,460 shares of our class A
common stock at an exercise price per share of $1.47 in settlement of certain
outstanding payables valued at $50,000, the invoice amount of the services
provided. The Series D Preferred Stock is initially convertible into 192,307
shares of class A common stock. The warrants are exercisable until the fifth
anniversary of the date of issuance. In addition, the warrants are redeemable at
our option for $.10 per warrant commencing on the date the warrants were issued
if the closing bid price of our class A common stock exceeds 200% of the
exercise price of the warrants for 30 consecutive trading days. In addition, in
connection with the private placement that closed on April 30, 2003 and May 1,
2003, we incurred fees of $325,750, of which $237,938 was payable in cash and
$87,802 was paid by issuing warrants to purchase 110,680 shares of class A
common stock. These warrants have substantially the same terms as the warrants
issued in the private placement referred to in this paragraph.
On May 30, 2003, we executed an accounts receivable financing agreement
with Silicon Valley Bank with a term of 1 year, which was extended to August 31,
2004. In connection with the financing agreement, we issued to Silicon Valley
Bank warrants to purchase 40,000 shares of our class A common stock. The
warrants are immediately exercisable at an exercise price of $1.39 per share,
equal to the fair market value of our class A common stock on the date of
closing of the financing agreement. The warrants are exercisable for a
seven-year period.
Delaware Law and Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaw Provisions
The following is a summary description of some material provisions of the
Delaware General Corporation Law and our certificate of incorporation and
bylaws. For further information you should refer to our certificate of
incorporation and bylaws.
We must comply with the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General
Corporation Law. Section 203 prohibits a publicly-held Delaware corporation from
engaging in a business combination with an interested stockholder for three
years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested
stockholder, unless the business combination is approved in a prescribed manner.
A business combination includes mergers, asset sales and other transactions
resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. An interested
stockholder is generally a person who, together with affiliates and associates,
owns, or within the past three years did own, 15% of the corporation's voting
stock.
There are provisions in our certificate of incorporation, our bylaws and
Delaware law that make it more difficult for a third party to obtain control of
ICC, even if doing so would be beneficial to our stockholders. This could
depress our stock price. However, these provisions enhance the likelihood of
continuity and stability in the composition of the policies formulated by our
board of directors. In addition, these provisions are intended to ensure that
the board of directors will have sufficient time to act in what it believes to
be in the best interests of ICC and its stockholders. These provisions also are
designed to reduce our vulnerability to an unsolicited takeover proposal that
does not contemplate the acquisition of all of our outstanding shares or an
unsolicited proposal for the restructuring or sale of all or part of ICC. The
provisions are also intended to discourage some tactics that may be used in
proxy fights.
Classified Board of Directors. Our board of directors is divided into
three classes of directors. The classes are as nearly equal in number as
possible and serve staggered three-year terms. One class of directors is elected
each year to serve a three-year term. The classified board provision will help
to assure the continuity and stability of the board of directors and our
business strategies and policies as determined by the board of directors. The
classified board provision could have the effect of discouraging a third party
from making a tender offer for our shares or attempting to obtain control of
ICC. In addition, the classified board provision could delay stockholders who do
not agree with the policies of the board of directors from replacing a majority
of the board of directors for two years.
16
Exculpation and Indemnification. We have included in our certificate of
incorporation and bylaws provisions to (1) eliminate the personal liability of
our directors for monetary damages resulting from breaches of their fiduciary
duty to the extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, and (2)
indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the
Delaware General Corporation Law, including circumstances in which
indemnification is discretionary.
We believe that these provisions are necessary to attract and retain
qualified persons as directors and officers.
Transfer Agent and Registrar
The transfer agent and registrar for our class A common stock is American
Stock Transfer and Trust Company.

previously rendered. See "Description of Transaction" on page 7.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, or
the DGCL, provides that a corporation may indemnify directors and officers as
well as other employees and individuals against expenses, including attorneys'
fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement in connection with
specified actions, suits, proceedings whether civil, criminal, administrative,
or investigative, other than action by or in the right of the corporation, known
as a derivative action, if they acted in good faith and in a manner they
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. A similar standard is
applicable in the case of derivative actions, except that indemnification only
extends to expenses, including attorneys' fees, incurred in connection with the
defense or settlement of the action, and the statute requires court approval
before there can be any indemnification where the person seeking indemnification
has been found liable to the corporation. The statute provides that it is not
exclusive of other indemnification that may be granted by a corporation's
certificate of incorporation, bylaws, disinterested director vote, stockholder
vote, agreement or otherwise. Section 145 thus makes provision for
indemnification in terms sufficiently broad to cover officers and directors,
under certain circumstances, for liabilities arising under the Securities Act.
Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL permits a corporation to provide in its
certificate of incorporation that a director of the corporation shall not be
personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages
for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability for (i) any
breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders,
(ii) acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct
or a knowing violation of law, (iii) payment of unlawful dividends or unlawful
stock purchases or redemptions, or (iv) any transaction from which the director
derived an improper personal benefit.
Article VII of our bylaws and Article Seventh of our Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation, as further amended, both provide that we shall
indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by Section 145 of the DGCL, each
person that Section 145 grants us power to indemnify. Article VIII of our bylaws
and Article Seventh of our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as
further amended, both provide that no director shall be liable to us or any of
our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a
director, except with respect to (1) a breach of the director's duty of loyalty
to the corporation or its stockholders, (2) acts or omissions not in good faith
or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (3)
liability under Section 174 of the DGCL or (4) a transaction from which the
director derived an improper personal benefit, and that it is the intention of
the foregoing provisions to eliminate the liability of our directors to ICC and
our stockholders to the fullest extent permitted by Section 102(b)(7) of the
DGCL.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant
to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the
opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable. If a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other
than the payment by ICC of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of ICC in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion
of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a
court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by
19
ICC is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be
governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
