RISK FACTORS
An investment in the common stock involves a high degree of risk. You
should carefully consider the risks described below and the other information
contained in this prospectus before deciding to invest in our common stock. We
believe the following risks represent the known, material risks facing our
company, in addition to the risks which typically face any company in our
industry. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial
condition and operating results could be materially adversely affected. In such
case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you could lose a
part or all of your investment.
Our Future Success Depends on the Success of Unproven Be There! Products
The failure of our Be There! products to achieve success would likely have
a material adverse effect on our business and our ability to continue
operations. We are currently devoting the vast majority of our resources to the
Be There! product line. The Be There! system has had very limited success and
has failed to generate significant revenue since it was released in 1997. The
majority of our historical revenue has come from products other than Be There!
The revenue from these other products has been declining for several years and
we believe the trend will continue. The market may not accept our Be There!
products for a variety of reasons. Our inability to penetrate our target markets
and increase Be There! sales would adversely affect our business and
operations.
2
Our Objectives are Dependent on Developing Relationships with A Strategic
Partner
Our business strategy is heavily dependent on our ability to establish a
strategic relationship with a partner who can enhance our market presence and
credibility and who can provide needed capital. Our inability to develop a
strategic relationship could have a material adverse affect on our business and
prospects.
We Will Likely Need Additional Capital to Sustain Our Operations
We may be required to suspend some or all of our operations if we cannot
obtain additional capital when needed. It is possible that sources of capital,
such as investors, lenders or strategic partners, may perceive our recent
history of losses, current financial condition, or lack of significant Be There!
product sales as too great a risk to bear. As a result, we may not be able to
obtain additional capital on favorable terms, if at all. Further, if we issue
equity securities, shareholders may experience additional dilution or the new
equity securities may have rights and preferences senior to the common stock.
Assuming continuing negative cash flows from operations at the same rate as
negative cash flows in the last four fiscal quarters, we expect our limited
existing cash to last about six to nine months. Even if our sales grow, we
could require additional capital to hire additional personnel and increase
inventory levels. We will therefore likely require more capital in the near
future. We can not predict the timing and amount of our future capital
requirements.
We Have a History of Operating Losses and Expect to Have Continued Losses
We have suffered substantial recurring losses, and our Be There! products
have not generated significant revenue. We may never return to profitability or
generate future revenue levels sufficient to support our operations. In recent
years we have funded operations from the sale of equity securities. We expect
to continue to incur significant product development, sales and marketing, and
administrative expenses and, as a result, will need to generate significant
revenue to achieve profitability.
Sales May Not Improve If We Do Not Increase Our Sales and Distribution
Capabilities
We must expand our direct and indirect sales operations to increase
market awareness of our Be There! products and increase revenue. We cannot be
certain that we will be successful in these efforts and our failure to do so
could adversely affect our business. Our products require a sophisticated sales
effort targeted at senior management of our prospective customers. Lack of
adequate capital, our current financial condition and competition for qualified
personnel all affect our ability to expand our direct sales force. These
factors, as well as our credibility in the market place, also hinder our ability
to increase our indirect distribution channels. We will also need to manage
potential conflicts between our direct sales force and our distribution
partners.
Our Business Could Suffer If We Lose Indirect Sales Channel Partners
The loss of our relationships with independent distributors, resellers, and
other marketing partners could materially adversely affect our business. Our
business strategy relies heavily on marketing and sales efforts of third
parties. We have little experience in marketing Be There! through indirect
channels and we have not generated significant revenue to date from these
channels. Our existing distributors, resellers and other marketing partners are
not contractually committed to continue to purchase our products and therefore
could discontinue carrying our products at any time in favor of a competitor's
products or for any other reason. The loss of any of our major distributors or
resellers, or a reduction in their commitment of resources to our products,
would likely have an adverse effect on our business.
3
The Market for Our Be There! Products May Not Develop as We Anticipate
The Be There! products have not yet been and may never be widely accepted
in the market. We can not assure you that we will establish a market for our Be
There! products or establish our credibility in such market. The market may
elect to embrace alternative products or service solutions to the need for
communication between the corporate headquarters and workers who are away from
the headquarters. The potential market for our Be There! products may be
affected by various factors, including changes in market trends and market needs
and changes in technology. The actual rate of growth and size of the market may
not reach expected levels. Our business will be adversely affected if the market
does not develop or we are not able to penetrate it as we hope.
Rapid Technological Change Poses Risks to Our Business
The rapid pace of technological change may prevent us from developing and
marketing new products, enhancing our existing products, or responding
effectively to emerging industry standards or new product introductions by
others. Our future success will be largely dependent on our ability to enhance
our existing products and to develop and introduce successful new products. The
market for our products is characterized by rapidly changing technology,
emerging industry standards, product proliferation and short product life
cycles. As the technical complexity of new products increases, it may become
increasingly difficult to introduce new products quickly and according to
schedule. Delays in developing or shipping new or enhanced products could
adversely affect our operating results.
Competition from Companies Having Greater Resources Could Adversely Affect Us
The communications industry is intensely competitive. The competitive
pressures we face could materially and adversely affect our business, financial
condition or operating results. Our existing and potential competitors have far
more extensive financial, engineering, product development, manufacturing and
marketing resources than we have. As a result, these competitors may be able to
respond more quickly to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer
requirements, or to devote much greater resources to the development, promotion,
and sale of their products and services than we can. Many of these competitors
have far greater brand recognition, which places us at a competitive
disadvantage. In addition, some competitors, including many foreign competitors,
have a lower cost structure that gives them a competitive advantage on the basis
of price. Our Be There! products may compete in areas in which we do not have
the experience or resources to address.
We are beginning to see a growing array of solutions for communication
between the corporate headquarters and its workers elsewhere, some of which are
competitive to our Be There! products. In addition, we expect new competition to
arise as new technologies develop.
Levels and Timing of Our Revenue Are Dependent On Limited Customer Base
We have a limited number of customers for our products and a loss of a key
customer or a reduction or delays in orders from such customer could materially
and adversely affect our operating results. In addition, although we have not
yet recorded significant revenue from our Be There! products, we are currently
attempting to market
4
them to large corporations, as well as to smaller businesses. If we do succeed
in attracting large customers, the revenue from Be There! products could
fluctuate significantly according to the purchasing cycle of those limited
number of large customers. We do not have and may not obtain minimum product
purchase commitments from our customers. Cancellation of orders by important
customers could have a substantial effect on our revenue.
We May Be Adversely Affected If We Lose Key Personnel
The loss of key personnel could materially and adversely affect our
business. Our success is dependent largely on the skills, experience and
performance of key management, sales and technical personnel. We are especially
dependent on our president and chief executive officer and other senior
officers, and our Be There! products sales executives. We are also dependent on
our key technical personnel to introduce new products and to remain in the
forefront of technological advances. All of our senior executives and other
employees are employed on an "at-will" basis. We do not have any insurance on
our employees other than the $1 million dollar key-man insurance policy on our
president and chief executive officer. Our future success will also depend on
our ability to attract highly skilled personnel. Competition for qualified
personnel is intense in our industry and we may not be able to retain our key
employees or attract and assimilate other qualified personnel.
The Inability to Protect Our Proprietary Technology Could Reduce Our Competitive
Advantage
Intellectual property laws of the United States and foreign countries may
not be adequate to protect our proprietary rights. Since our success depends in
part on our technological expertise and proprietary technologies, the loss of
our proprietary rights could have a material adverse effect on our business. We
rely on our trade secret protection efforts and, to a lesser extent, on patents
and copyrights to protect our proprietary technologies. These steps may not be
adequate to deter misappropriation or infringement of our proprietary
technologies. Competitors may also independently develop technologies that are
similar or superior to our technology. In addition, the laws of some foreign
countries do not protect proprietary rights to the same extent as do the laws of
the United States.
We Face Potential Costly and Disruptive Intellectual Property Disputes
We may be involved in intellectual property litigation which could
adversely affect our intellectual property rights, could be costly and could
divert management's attention away from the business. We believe that the
communications industry is a competitive environment where intellectual property
disputes are likely to arise. We may be required to bring or defend against
litigation to enforce our patents, to protect our trademarks, trade secrets, and
other intellectual property rights, to defend against infringement claims, to
resolve disputes under technology license arrangements, and to determine the
scope and validity of our proprietary rights or those of others. In addition,
intellectual property disputes may be initiated against us for tactical purposes
to gain competitive advantage or overcome competitive disadvantage, even if the
merits of a specific dispute are doubtful. Our limited resources may limit our
ability to bring or defend against any such litigation. Adverse determinations
in litigation, including litigation we initiate, could result in the loss of our
proprietary rights, subject us to significant liabilities, require us to seek
licenses from third parties or prevent us from manufacturing or selling our
products. In addition, any litigation can be expensive and divert management
resources. Any of these consequences could materially adversely affect our
business, financial condition and operating results. See "Patent Infringement
Lawsuit" below.
5
We are Currently Involved in A Patent Infringement Lawsuit
On August 19, 1998, we sued Lucent Technologies, Inc. in United States
District Court in San Antonio, Texas. Our failure to prevail in a significant
manner in this lawsuit may materially adversely affect our financial condition
and operations. However, litigation by its very nature is unpredictable and we
may not prevail. Our suit alleges that Lucent is infringing on our patent
entitled "System and Method for Providing a Remote User with a Virtual Presence
to an Office." Although we believe our claims against Lucent are valid and we
intend to vigorously pursue such claims, we may not be able to fully pursue the
lawsuit or defend against possible counterclaims because of limited resources,
including our ability to pay legal expenses. In addition, the lawsuit could
adversely affect the validity or enforceability of our patents.
Our Dependence on Third Party Suppliers Increases Potential Shipment Delays and
Other Risks
Our dependence on third party suppliers could adversely affect our
business, customer relationships or operating results. We manufacture our
products using components or subassemblies bought from third party suppliers.
Some of these components, such as critical microchips, are available only from a
single supplier. We do not have any guaranteed supply arrangements. If we could
not obtain a sufficient supply of such components from current sources, we could
have trouble obtaining alternative sources or altering product designs to use
alternative components. We have experienced and may again experience supply
shortages which delay product shipments. In addition, we may also have trouble
controlling the cost, quality and reliability of the components we use to
manufacture our products.
Our Dependence on Third Party Manufacturers Increases Potential Manufacturing
Problems and Other Risks
Our dependence on third party manufacturers could adversely affect our
business, customer relationships or operating results. We use third party
manufacturers to assist us in assembling our products. Because of this reliance
on third party manufacturers, we can not always exercise direct control over
manufacturing quality and costs. We may also have problems with production
schedules of our products because of other demands placed on the third party
manufacturers.
Our Financial Condition and Operating Results Could be Adversely Affected If We
Do Not Manage Inventory
Our business and financial condition could be materially adversely affected
if we do not effectively manage our purchasing activities in the face of
uncertain revenue levels, or if shipments do not exceed inventory levels. In
the past we have substantially increased our inventory levels to meet
anticipated shipment requirements. Increased levels of inventory could
adversely affect our liquidity or increase the risk of inventory write offs.
We Could Be Adversely Affected If Our Products Fail to Meet FCC and Other
Regulatory Standards
The failure of our products to conform to the regulations established by
the Federal Communications Commission or similar foreign regulatory body or to
meet the applicable testing requirements could adversely affect our business.
Aspects of our products are regulated by the FCC and other foreign regulators.
Our products must typically be tested before they are sold. Foreign authorities
often establish telecommunications standards different from those in the United
States, making it difficult and more time consuming to obtain the required
regulatory approvals. A
6
significant delay in obtaining such regulatory approvals could delay the
introduction of our products into the market and adversely affect our operating
results. Furthermore, changes in such laws, policies, or requirements could also
affect the demand for our products or result in the need to modify products,
either of which could involve substantial costs or delays in sales and adversely
affect our operating results.
We Could Lose Our Nasdaq National Market Listing
We may not be able to sustain compliance with certain maintenance criteria
that we are required to satisfy in order for our common stock to remain listed
on the Nasdaq National Market. Our failure to satisfy such criteria, including
the minimum $4 million net tangible asset and $1.00 stock price requirements,
could result in the delisting of our common stock from such market. Our
recurring losses and volatile stock price have from time to time caused us to
fail to satisfy certain criteria. In January 1999, we successfully appealed a
notice of non-compliance from Nasdaq that we received based on our temporary
failure to satisfy the minimum net tangible asset requirement. Termination of
listing of the common stock would likely have a material adverse effect on the
market price and liquidity of the common stock, and on our ability to raise
additional capital. Delisting could also jeopardize certain secondary trading
exemptions from state "blue sky" laws, further affecting liquidity of the common
stock. In addition, we would be liable for substantial monetary penalties to the
holders of the preferred stock in the event of such a termination of listing.
Our failure to pay such penalties could also result in redemption of the
preferred stock.
We May Not Have Sufficient Capital If We Are Required to Redeem the Outstanding
Preferred Stock
Under certain circumstances, we could be required to redeem a total of
2,500 shares of Series D, E and F preferred stock that are currently
outstanding, with a total stated value of $2,500,000. If we are required to
redeem the preferred stock, we may not have sufficient cash available to effect
the redemption. The holders of the outstanding preferred stock have the right
to require us to redeem their shares of preferred stock for cash, at 120% of
stated value, plus accrued dividends, if any of the following happens:
. our board agrees to sell the company or the Be There! product line to
another company, or our board consents to the tender offer of our shares
by another company;
. this registration statement is not declared effective by the SEC before
May 16, 1999;
. this registration statement can not be used to permit the sale of the
shares issuable upon conversion of the preferred stock;
. we voluntarily terminate the listing of our shares on the Nasdaq
National Market;
. we fail to deliver shares of common stock upon conversion of the
preferred stock; or
. we file for bankruptcy.
In addition, if our common stock is delisted from the Nasdaq National
Market, and we fail to pay required penalties to the holders of the preferred
stock, then the holders of the preferred stock can require us to redeem their
shares of preferred stock. If we are required to redeem the preferred stock, we
would most likely be forced to attempt to quickly find other sources of
financing. If we could find such financing at all, it is not likely that such
financing would be on favorable terms. The inability to find financing or the
terms of such unfavorable financing and our resulting lack of liquidity could
force us to discontinue portions or all of our operations.
7
Future Sales of Shares Could Adversely Affect Our Stock Price and Impair Our
Ability to Raise Capital
The sale or availability for sale of a significant number of shares of
common stock in the public market could adversely affect the market price of the
common stock which is already volatile. In addition, the sale of these shares
could impair our ability to raise additional equity capital. This prospectus
covers the potential sale from time to time of up to 3,688,778 shares of common
stock. We have also previously registered for resale 3,143,582 additional shares
of common stock, including 1,084,959 shares underlying preferred stock and
warrants, which have not yet been sold into the market. In the case of the
preferred stock, because we may elect to pay accrued dividends in the form of
common stock, the number of shares issuable will increase as the market price
drops. At March 22, 1999, we had reserved approximately 2,351,835 shares of
common stock for issuance under currently approved employee benefit plans,
including 1,776,256 shares subject to outstanding options.
Our Stock Price is Highly Volatile
The market price of our common stock in the past has been highly volatile,
and for the foreseeable future will likely continue to be highly volatile. This
is caused in part by the relatively low aggregate market value of our publicly
traded shares. Events or circumstances may cause a much greater percentage
change in the market price of our shares than the market price of a company with
a higher aggregate market value. There are many events or circumstances,
including those highlighted in these risk factors, which could cause the market
price of our stock to fluctuate. Many of those events or circumstances are
outside our control. In addition, stock prices for many technology companies
fluctuate widely for reasons unrelated to their business, financial condition or
operating results.
Our Business May Be Adversely Affected by Class Action Litigation Due to Stock
Price Volatility
The filing of securities class action litigation against companies often
occurs following periods of volatility in the market price of a company's
securities. We have in the past and may in the future be a target of such
litigation. Securities litigation could have a material adverse effect on our
business if it is filed against us because it could result in substantial costs
and a diversion of management's attention and resources. It may also adversely
affect our ability to raise capital, our sales efforts and our ability to
attract a strategic partner.
Anti-Takeover Measures Could Prevent or Delay a Change in Control of Our Company
Our shareholder rights plan and certain provisions of our articles of
incorporation could have the effect of delaying, deferring, or preventing a
change of control of the company and might make it difficult to replace
incumbent management. We adopted a shareholder rights plan in an effort to
guard against abusive tactics which could deprive our shareholders of the
opportunity to realize the long-term value of their investment. In addition,
certain provisions of our articles of incorporation may have the effect of
discouraging unsolicited proposals to acquire control over us. Our board of
directors can, without obtaining shareholder approval, issue shares of preferred
stock having rights that could adversely affect the voting power of holders of
the common stock, including the right to vote as a class on any proposed change
of control.
In addition, certain provisions of Texas corporate law, including the Texas
Business Combination Law, could also have the effect of hindering or delaying a
takeover bid for the company. Such provisions may inhibit takeover bids and
decrease the chance of shareholders
8
realizing a premium to the then market price of the common stock as a result of
a takeover bid. In general, the Business Combination Law prohibits a publicly
traded Texas corporation from engaging in a broad range of business combinations
with a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns or did own 20%
or more of the corporation's voting stock, for a period of three years after the
date of the transaction in which the person first became a 20% owner, unless the
business combination is approved in a prescribed manner.
We Could be Adversely Affected by Year 2000 Problems
We are exposed to the risk that the year 2000 issue could cause system
failures or miscalculations which could cause disruptions of operations,
including, among other things, a temporary inability to process financial
transactions or engage in similar normal business activities. We may be required
to modify or replace portions of our software and certain hardware so that those
systems will properly utilize dates beyond December 31, 1999. We presently
believe that with modifications or replacements of existing software and certain
hardware, the year 2000 issue can be mitigated. If such modifications and
replacements are not made, are not completed on time or are insufficient to
prevent systems failures or other disruptions, the year 2000 issue could have a
material impact on our operations.
The risk for us exists primarily in the following areas:
. disruption of computer systems used by us to run our business including
information systems, equipment and facilities;
. disruption of computer systems used by our suppliers, including
suppliers of component parts and manufacturing services, as well as
suppliers of our necessary energy, telecommunications and transportation
needs;
. potential warranty or other claims from our customers based on year 2000
problems with our products; and
. potential for reduced spending by other companies on our products as a
result of significant information systems spending on year 2000
compliance.
We are continuing to evaluate and mitigate our exposure in these areas
where appropriate and expect to establish contingency plans for identifiable
risks by June 30, 1999.
In addition, the possibility of interruption exists in the event that the
information systems of our suppliers, distributors, resellers and other
strategic marketing partners are not year 2000 compliant. The inability of our
suppliers, distributors, resellers and other strategic marketing partners to
complete their year 2000 resolution process in a timely fashion could materially
impact us. The effect of non-compliance by such parties is not determinable.
In addition, disruptions in the economy generally resulting from the year 2000
issues could also materially adversely affect us. We could be subject to
litigation for computer systems failure. The amount of potential liability and
lost revenue cannot be estimated at this time.

USE OF PROCEEDS
We will not receive any proceeds from the sale by the selling shareholders
of the shares of common stock covered by this prospectus.
SELLING SHAREHOLDERS
This prospectus covers the resale of the common stock issuable on
conversion of the preferred stock and exercise of the warrants issued to selling
shareholders in the second closing under our July 1998 $4 million private
placement. This prospectus also covers the resale of the common stock, and the
common stock issuable on exercise of the warrants, issued to selling
shareholders in our November 1998 $2.2 million private placement. Finally, this
prospectus covers the resale of the common stock issued to a selling shareholder
in connection with the extension of our investor relations consulting agreement
with the selling shareholder.
Following are summaries of these various transactions and descriptions of
the material relationships we have had with the selling shareholders in the last
three years.
SUMMARY OF JULY 1998 PRIVATE PLACEMENT
Issuance of Preferred Stock and Warrants
On July 24, 1998, as part of a $4 million private placement of convertible
preferred stock and warrants, we signed a securities purchase agreement and a
registration rights agreement with three investors: Sovereign Partners L.P.,
Dominion Capital Fund, Ltd., and First Capital Group of Texas II, L.P. Jeffrey
P. Blanchard, a managing director and owner of the company which serves as the
general partner of First Capital, has been a director of our company since
August 1985 and the chairman of the board since October 1996.
At the first closing in July 1998, Sovereign and Dominion bought Series D
preferred stock and Class A warrants, and First Capital bought Series E
preferred stock and Class B warrants. The three investors were also required to
purchase additional preferred stock and warrants at a second closing if we met
various conditions. We met those conditions. As part of the second closing,
Sovereign and Dominion bought additional shares of Series D preferred stock and
Class A warrants in December 1998, and First Capital bought shares of Series F
preferred stock and Class B warrants in January 1999. The following table
summarizes the number of shares and warrants issued, and the purchase price
paid, in the first and second closings:
10
First Closing:
- -------------
Investor Shares of Preferred Stock Warrants Purchase Price
-------- ------------------------- -------- --------------
Sovereign Partners L.P. 1,000 Series D 226,415 Class A $1,000,000
Dominion Capital Fund, Ltd. 500 Series D 113,208 Class A $ 500,000
First Capital Group of Texas II, L.P. 750 Series E 140,625 Class B $ 750,000
Second Closing:
- --------------
Investor Shares of Preferred Stock Warrants Purchase Price
-------- ------------------------- -------- --------------
Sovereign Partners L.P. 667 Series D 151,019 Class A $667,000
Dominion Capital Fund, Ltd. 333 Series D 75,396 Class A $333,000
First Capital Group of Texas II, L.P. 750 Series F 140,625 Class B $750,000
The Series D preferred stock and the Class A warrants issued to Sovereign
and Dominion in the first closing have already been fully converted and
exercised for common stock. The Series D preferred stock and Class A warrants
issued in the second closing to Sovereign and Dominion, and the Series E and F
preferred stock and Class B warrants issued to First Capital are still
outstanding.
At our annual shareholders meeting in November 1998, pursuant to the
Nasdaq Marketplace Rules, our shareholders approved the issuance of common stock
upon conversion of the preferred stock and exercise of the warrants.
Pursuant to the securities purchase agreement, each investor agreed not
to engage in short sales of our common stock during the one-year period after
the second closing.
Material Terms of Preferred Stock
The outstanding Series D preferred stock is convertible into common stock
at a conversion price of $3.00 at any time. The Series D preferred stock
conversion price was determined based on the average market price of the common
stock on March 16, 1999, the date on which the preferred stock became
convertible. The Series E preferred stock is convertible into common stock at a
conversion price of $1.00 at any time after July 24, 1999. The Series F
preferred stock is convertible into common stock at a conversion price of
$3.43125 at any time after January 22, 2000. The Series E and F preferred stock
will become convertible earlier than those dates on the occurrence of any event
that would also trigger a redemption right. The number of shares of common
stock issuable on conversion of one share of preferred stock is computed by
dividing the share's stated value of $1,000 by the conversion price. Based on
their conversion prices, the outstanding Series D preferred stock is convertible
into 333,333 shares of common stock, the Series E preferred stock is convertible
into 750,000 shares of common stock, and the Series F preferred stock is
convertible into 218,579 shares of common stock.
The preferred stock bears an 8% cumulative dividend, payable upon
conversion of the preferred stock. We have the choice to pay the dividend either
in cash or common stock. We currently intend to pay the dividend in stock,
rather than cash.
The investors can require us to redeem their preferred stock for a
redemption price of 120% of the stated value, plus accrued dividends, if any of
the following happens:
11
. our board agrees to sell the company or the Be There! product line to
another company, or our board consents to the tender offer of our shares
by another company;
. this registration statement is not declared effective by the SEC before
May 16, 1999;
. this registration statement can not be used to permit the sale of the
shares issuable upon conversion of the preferred stock;
. we voluntarily terminate the listing of our shares on the Nasdaq
National Market;
. we fail to deliver shares of common stock upon conversion of the
preferred stock; or
. we file for bankruptcy;
If our common stock is delisted from the Nasdaq National Market, we must
either pay a penalty of up to 24% of the stated value of the preferred stock or
we must redeem the preferred stock.
The preferred stock does not vote on ordinary matters submitted to a
shareholder vote except for limited matters affecting the terms of the preferred
stock. In liquidation, the preferred stock is entitled to a liquidation
preference, before any distributions on the common stock, equal to the stated
amount of $1,000 per share, plus accrued dividends.
Material Terms of Class A and B Warrants
The Class A warrants entitle the holders to purchase common stock any time
at a price of $0.6625 per share. The Class B warrants entitle the holders to
purchase common stock any time after one year from their issuance date at a
price of $0.80 per share of common stock. The exercise prices were based on
common stock prices when the securities purchase agreement was signed in July
1998. The warrants expire two years after their issuance dates.
Registration Rights Agreement
At the first closing we signed a registration rights agreement in which we
agreed to use our best efforts to register for resale the shares of common stock
underlying the preferred stock and warrants issued under the securities purchase
agreement. We have previously registered for resale the shares of common stock
underlying the preferred stock and warrants issued in the first closing. This
prospectus covers the resale of the common stock, including dividend shares,
delivered on conversion of the preferred stock issued in the second closing and
the common stock delivered on exercise of the warrants issued in the second
closing. Pursuant to the registration rights agreement, in order to permit the
resale of shares we issue in payment of the dividends on the preferred stock, we
are registering 200% of the number of shares issuable on conversion of the
Series D preferred stock and 150% of the number of shares issuable on conversion
of the Series F preferred stock. We are obligated to pay all of the
registration expenses. We must also pay penalties, at the monthly rate of 2% of
the stated value of the Series D and E preferred stock, for each day after April
15, 1999 that the registration statement is not declared effective by the SEC.
Placement Agent Fees
Michael Rosenblum and Steven Nehorayoff assisted us in arranging the sale
of preferred stock and warrants to Sovereign and Dominion. As compensation for
Mr. Rosenblum's services, in the first closing we paid a cash fee of $90,000 and
Class A warrants for 60,000 shares, and in the second closing we paid a cash fee
of $43,500 and Class A warrants for 22,968 shares. As compensation for Mr.
Nehorayoff's services, in the first closing we issued Class A warrants for
12
279,623 shares, and in the second closing we issued Class A warrants for 148,683
shares. This prospectus covers the resale of the common stock underlying the
warrants issued to these persons in the second closing.
Summary of Consulting Agreement with Liviakis Financial Communications, Inc.
In July 1998 we entered into a consulting agreement with Liviakis Financial
Communications, Inc. Under the agreement, Liviakis Financial provides a wide
variety of public and investor relations services for us. As full compensation
for the services, in July 1998 we issued 1,406,475 shares of common stock to
Liviakis Financial and 468,825 shares of common stock to Robert Prag, senior
vice president of Liviakis Financial. We have previously registered these
shares of common stock for resale. Pursuant to the agreement we are required to
pay Liviakis Financial a fee of 2.5% of proceeds from any financing with persons
introduced to us by Liviakis Financial and a fee of 2% of the consideration paid
in an acquisition by us of a company introduced to us by Liviakis Financial.
As compensation for introducing us to Liviakis Financial and assisting us
in completing the agreement, we issued to Steven Nehorayoff 150,000 shares of
common stock. We have previously registered these shares of common stock for
resale.
In November 1998, we extended the consulting agreement with Liviakis
Financial from March 15, 1999 to January 1, 2000. As compensation for services
under the extended agreement, we issued an additional 200,000 shares of common
stock to Liviakis Financial. This prospectus covers the resale of these
additional shares by Liviakis Financial.
Pursuant to the consulting agreement, Liviakis Financial agreed that,
without our consent, it will not sell any of the 1,606,475 shares issued to it
before January 1, 2000.
Summary of November 1998 Private Placement
On November 16, 1998, we entered into an agreement for the sale in a
private placement of $2.2 million of common stock and warrants to Liviakis
Financial and up to four other accredited investors. We sold a total of 977,776
shares of common stock and warrants for 977,776 shares of common stock. The
investors included Dr. W. B. Barker, our president and chief executive officer
since April 1995 and a director since May 1995. The following table summarizes
the number of shares and warrants issued, and the purchase price paid, in the
private placement:
Investor Shares of Common Stock Warrants Purchase Price
-------- ---------------------- -------- --------------
Liviakis Financial Communications, Inc. 488,889 488,889 $1,100,000
Robert S. London 355,555 355,555 $ 800,000
W. B. Barker 44,444 44,444 $ 100,000
Timothy D. Wilson, Sr. 44,444 44,444 $ 100,000
Anthony Altavilla 44,444 44,444 $ 100,000
The warrants are exercisable for two years at a price of $2.25 per share.
The investors have agreed not to sell their shares, including the common stock
underlying the warrants, for the one-year period following closing. The
investors other than Dr. Barker were introduced to us by Liviakis Financial.
Pursuant to our consulting agreement with Liviakis Financial, we issued
approximately 11,666 shares of common stock and warrants for 11,666 shares of
common stock, on the same terms as the private placement, to each of Liviakis
Financial and Robert Prag.
Selling Shareholder Table--Beneficial Ownership and Shares Offered for Sale
The following table lists the names of the selling shareholders, the number
of shares of common stock beneficially owned by each selling shareholder on
March 22, 1999, and the number of
13
shares which may be offered for sale by this prospectus. Each selling
shareholder provided to us the information regarding his or its share ownership.
Because the selling shareholders may offer all, some or none of their common
stock, we can not give a definitive estimate as to the number of shares that
will be held by the selling shareholders after the offering and we prepared the
following table based on the assumption that the selling shareholders sell all
of the shares of common stock covered by this prospectus. This prospectus will
not be used to offer or sell more than 3,688,778 shares of common stock. At
March 22, 1999, there were 17,378,372 shares of common stock outstanding.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
This prospectus covers the resale of shares of common stock by the selling
shareholders and their pledgees, donees, assignees and other successors in
interest. The selling shareholders may sell their shares on the Nasdaq National
Market, in the over-the-counter market or through any other facility on which
the shares are traded, or in private transactions. These sales may be at market
prices or at negotiated prices. The selling shareholders may use the following
methods when selling shares:
. ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-
dealer solicits purchasers;
. block trades in which the broker or dealer will attempt to sell the
shares as agent, but may position and resell a portion of the block as
principal to facilitate the transaction;
. purchases by a broker or dealer as principal and resale by the broker
or dealer for its account pursuant to this prospectus;
. privately negotiated transactions;
. any combination of such methods of sale; or
. any other legal method.
15
The selling shareholders may engage in short sales of the common stock and
deliver shares to close out the short positions. The selling shareholders may
also enter into put or call options or other transactions with broker-dealers or
others which require delivery to such persons of shares covered by this
prospectus.
Brokers, dealers or other agents participating in the distribution of the
shares of common stock may receive compensation in the form of discounts or
commissions from the selling shareholders, as well as the purchaser if they act
as agent for the purchaser. The discount or commission in a particular
transaction could be more than the customary amount. We know of no existing
arrangements between any selling shareholder and any underwriter, broker, dealer
or agent relating to the sale or distribution of the shares.
The selling shareholders and any brokers or dealers that participate in the
sale of the shares may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the
Securities Act. Any discounts, commissions or other compensation received by
such persons and any profit on the resale of the shares by them as principals
might be deemed to be underwriters' compensation. The selling shareholders may
agree to indemnify any broker, dealer or agent that participates in the sale of
the shares against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the
Securities Act.
At the time a particular offer of shares is made, to the extent required we
will file a supplement to this prospectus which identifies the number of shares
being offered, the name of the selling shareholder, the name of any
participating broker-dealer, the amount of discounts and commissions, and any
other material information.
The selling shareholders and any other person participating in such
distribution will be subject to the applicable provisions of the Exchange Act
and its rules and regulations. For example, the anti-manipulative provisions of
Regulation M may limit the ability of the selling shareholders or others to
engage in stabilizing and other market making activities.
The selling shareholders may also sell their shares pursuant to Rule 144
under the Securities Act, rather than pursuant to this prospectus so long as
they meet the criteria and conform to the requirements of the rule.
We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the shares by the
selling shareholders. We will pay the registration and other offering expenses
related to this offering, but the selling shareholders will pay all underwriting
discounts and brokerage commissions incurred in connection with the offering.
Pursuant to the registration rights agreement for the July 1998 private
placement of preferred stock and warrants, we have agreed to indemnify
Sovereign, Dominion and First Capital against certain liabilities, including
liabilities under the Securities Act.
In order to comply with certain states' securities laws, if applicable, the
shares will be sold in such jurisdictions only through registered or licensed
brokers or dealers. In addition, in certain states the shares may not be sold
unless they have been registered or qualified for sale or an exemption from
registration or qualification is available and is satisfied.

EXPERTS
The financial statements of Data Race, Inc. as of June 30, 1998 and 1997,

KPMG LLP, independent certified public accountants, incorporated by reference
herein, and upon the authority of said firm as experts in accounting and

The report of KPMG LLP contains an explanatory paragraph that states that
we have suffered recurring losses and incurred negative cash flow from
operations, which conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to
continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any
adjustments that might result from the outcome of that uncertainty.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Article 2.02-1 of the Texas Business Corporation Act provides for
indemnification of directors and officers in certain circumstances. In
addition, the Texas Miscellaneous Corporation Law provides that a corporation
may amend its Articles of Incorporation to provide that no director shall be
liable to the corporation or its shareholders for monetary damages for an act or
omission in the director's capacity as a director, provided that the liability
of a director is not eliminated or limited for: (i) any breach of the
director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its shareholders; (ii) for acts
or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or
knowing violation of law; (iii) any transaction from which such director derived
an improper personal benefit; or (iv) an act or omission for which the liability
of a director is expressly provided by an applicable statute.
We amended our Articles of Incorporation and added Article Ten adopting
such limitations on a director's liability. Our Articles of Incorporation also
provide in Article Ten, for indemnification of directors or officers in
connection with the defense or settlement of suits brought against them in their
capacities as directors or officers of the company, except in respect of
liabilities arising from gross negligence or willful misconduct in the
performance of their duties.
Article VIII of our bylaws provides for indemnification of any person made
a party to a proceeding by reason of such person's status as a director, officer
or employee of the company, except in respect of liabilities arising from
negligence or misconduct in the performance of their duties.
II-1
We have obtained an insurance policy which provides for indemnification of
officers and directors of the company and certain other persons against
liabilities and expenses incurred by any of them in certain stated proceedings
and under certain stated conditions.

Item 17. Undertakings.
(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement;
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of
the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising
after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or
the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which,
individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental
change in the information set forth in the Registration
Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or
decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total
dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that
which was registered) and any deviation from the low or
high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be
reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the
Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate,
the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20
percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set
forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the
effective Registration Statement;
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the
plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the
Registration Statement, or any material change to such
information in the Registration Statement; provided,
however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not
apply if the information required to be included in a post-
effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in
periodic reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to
Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the
Registration Statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall
be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
thereof.
II-3
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
amendment any of the securities being registered which remain
unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each
filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or
Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where
applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report
pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that
is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be
deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities
offered herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall
be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and
controlling persons of the Registrant, pursuant to the foregoing
provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the
opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification
is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer, or controlling person of the
Registrant 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, the
Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has
been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by
it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933
and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
(d) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that:
(1) For the purposes of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of
prospectus filed as part of this Registration Statement in
reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus
filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or
497(h) under the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be
part of this Registration Statement as of the time it was
declared effective.
(2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form
of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of
such new securities at that time shall be deemed to be the
