                              EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

         This post-effective amendment to the registration statement on Form S-8
(Registration No. 333-102878) hereby reflects the transfer from the Neoware
Systems, Inc. (the "Company") 1995 Stock Option Plan (the "1995 Plan") and the
Company's 2002 Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan (the "2002 Plan") to the
Company's 2004 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2004 Plan") of up to 1,750,000 shares
of the Company's common stock ("Common Stock") subject to outstanding options
and previously reserved for issuance under the 1995 Plan and the 2002 Plan which
will be reserved under the 2004 Plan upon the termination, expiration or
cancellation of such options.

         The Company has previously registered its Common Stock for issuance
under: (a) the 1995 Plan on (i) the Company's registration statement on Form
S-8, dated June 26, 1995 (Registration No. 33-93942), registering 1,000,000
shares of Common Stock, (ii) the Company's registration statement on Form S-8,
dated January 22, 1997 (Registration No. 333-20185), registering 500,000 shares
of Common Stock, (iii) the Company's registration statement on Form S-8, dated
February 28, 2001 (Registration No. 333-56298), registering 1,000,000 shares of
Common Stock and (iv) the Company's registration statement on Form S-8, dated
August 14, 2003 (Registration No. 333-107974), registering 500,000 shares of
Common Stock; and (b) the 2002 Plan on (i) the Company's registration statement
on Form S-8, dated January 31, 2003 (Registration No. 333-102878), registering
500,000 shares of Common Stock and (ii) the Company's registration statement on
Form S-8, dated August 14, 2003 (Registration No. 333-107970), registering
200,000 shares of Common Stock.

         On October 19, 2004, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted the
2004 Plan and a resolution approving the transfer from the 1995 Plan and the
2002 Plan to the 2004 Plan of up to 1,750,000 shares of Common Stock subject to
outstanding options previously reserved for issuance under the 1995 Plan and the
2002 Plan, to the extent that such options terminate, expire, or are canceled
without being exercised. At the Company's December 1, 2004 Annual Meeting of
Stockholders, the Company's stockholders approved, among other things, the 2004
Plan, including the transfer of shares of Common Stock from the 1995 Plan and
the 2002 Plan to the 2004 Plan as described above.

         The Company is filing a registration statement on Form S-8, also dated
the date hereof, which registers additional shares of Common Stock for the 2004
Plan, and such registration statement also includes the transfer of up to
1,750,000 registered shares of Common Stock from the 1995 Plan and the 2002 Plan
to the 2004 Plan.
