This summary does not contain all of the information that you should consider before investing in our common stock. You should read the entire prospectus carefully, including "Risk Factors" and the financial statements, before making an investment decision. INTEGRITY SOFTWARE We are a Dublin-based software company that develops, markets, implements and supports web-enabled, enterprise-wide software applications for smaller to mid-sized organizations in the distribution and contracting industries. Our products enable organizations to optimize the efficiency of internal and external information flow by integrating business-to-business modules with mission-critical, enterprise-wide software applications. These applications include core accounting functions as well as key, industry-specific functionality. The modular design of our products enables us to provide customers with cost-effective, tailored solutions that can be easily implemented and integrated with existing business systems. We conduct our operations primarily in the United Kingdom, Ireland and South Africa, where we currently have approximately 3,800 customers under contract using software applications. According to Forrester Research, an independent market research firm, global license revenues from packaged enterprise-wide applications are expected to grow from $14 billion in 1998 to over $41 billion by 2003, representing a compound annual growth rate of 24%. The non-U.S. portion of this market is projected to grow even faster from $6 billion to over $20 billion during this same period, representing a compound annual growth rate of 27%. However, the market for enterprise-wide software applications for smaller to mid-sized organizations has historically been under-served because vendors have targeted large organizations with expensive, large-scale packages. We believe that this market will generate a significant portion of the growth for enterprise-wide software applications due to smaller to mid-sized organizations' unique requirements. These organizations generally do not have the information technology resources to purchase, implement and support large-scale, enterprise-wide systems. We believe that our products, Vision and Legerdemain for the distribution industry, and Evolution and Foundation for the contracting industry, offer greater functionality, faster implementation and integration and lower cost of ownership solutions for customers in our targeted markets. Our primary business objective is to be the leading provider of web-enabled, enterprise-wide software applications to our target markets. To achieve our objective, we intend to pursue the following strategies: - focus our research and development on next-generation web-enabled, mission-critical software products - accelerate growth and achieve economies of scale through strategic acquisitions - leverage our legacy customer base by selling our new products to them - expand our value added reseller, or VAR, channel - further penetrate targeted markets - enhance our service and support functions We have four integrated business areas: business-to-business, or B2B, enterprise-wide software, general accounting and technical services, or GATS, and computer finance services, or CFS. We support our four business areas with cross-company resources in sales and marketing, research and development, training and support. Our research and development investment is focused on creating web-enabled, enterprise-wide, mission-critical applications to address the requirements of customers across all of our business areas. We are incorporated in Delaware. Our principal executive offices are located at Camden Lock, South Dock Road, Dublin 4, Ireland, and our telephone number is 011-353-1-665-2002. Our corporate web site is www.integrity-us.com. Information on our web site is not part of this prospectus. 1 6 THE OFFERING Except as otherwise indicated, all information in this prospectus reflects a 2-for-5 reverse stock split of our common stock on March 20, 2000 and assumes no exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option.

We will use the balance of the net proceeds for general corporate and working capital purposes. Listing............................. Our common stock is currently traded over the counter and quoted in the Pink Sheets. We have applied to have our common stock quoted on the Nasdaq National Market effective upon completion of this offering. Proposed Nasdaq National Market symbol.............................. INTY Unless otherwise indicated, all information in this prospectus, including the outstanding share information above, is based on the number of shares outstanding as of March 22, 2000 and: - excludes 1,650,000 shares of common stock reserved for issuance under our stock option plan - excludes currently exercisable options to purchase 40,000 shares of common stock - assumes no issuance of 240,000 shares by us pursuant to the over-allotment option granted to the underwriters 2 7 SUMMARY CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL DATA (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA) You should read our summary consolidated financial data in conjunction with "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and the financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this prospectus. Our consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1998 and 1999 have been audited by BDO International, independent accountants, and our financial statements for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1999 have been restated to reflect our December 7, 1999 merger with Jyris Limited, which has been accounted for as a pooling of interests. Our consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1998 and 1999 have been prepared and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or U.S. GAAP. The financial statements for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1996 (not included herein) are the statements of the Wyse Group plc, which is considered to be our predecessor for accounting purposes, and have been prepared and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United Kingdom. These financial statements have not been reconciled to U.S. GAAP; however, in the opinion of our management, there is no material difference in these presentations. The pro forma financial data summarizes our Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Information included elsewhere in this prospectus, which includes the results of operations of each of the companies acquired in 1999 (including companies acquired by Jyris) as if all companies had been acquired on January 1, 1999. The as adjusted balance sheet data gives effect to the sale of 3,000,000 shares of common stock in this offering at an assumed offering price of $ per share and the application of the net proceeds therefrom, after deducting underwriting commissions and discounts and estimated offering expenses payable by us.

You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below and the other information in this prospectus before deciding whether to invest in shares of our common stock. This prospectus contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, such as statements of our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements for many reasons, including the factors described below and elsewhere in this prospectus. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. IF OUR PRODUCTS DO NOT PERFORM ADEQUATELY OR ARE NOT ACCEPTED IN OUR MARKETS, OUR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND PROFITABILITY WILL SUFFER. We cannot assure you that our products will perform adequately to suit our customers or that they will be accepted in the markets in which we operate. We cannot assure you that proposed new products will be completed and ready to ship on schedule or that we will not be beaten to market by one of our competitors. If our products fail to function properly, satisfy our customers' needs or remain competitive with our competitors' new products, our business and future operating results will suffer. In addition, a significant part of our growth strategy is to sell web-enabled, enterprise-wide software applications that meet the increasing needs of customers to conduct business on the Internet. The market for web-based applications is characterized by rapidly changing technologies, evolving industry standards and changing customer demands. We have only recently begun to market our web-enabled software products, and our applications may not achieve broad market acceptance. OUR TECHNOLOGY MAY BECOME OBSOLETE OR MAY BE INCOMPATIBLE WITH OTHER SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE PRODUCTS. The markets in which we operate are constantly changing through rapid development of new products, evolving industry standards and frequent new product introductions and enhancements. In order to succeed, we will have to continually develop and market new products and services that satisfy evolving technologies, customer preferences and industry requirements. We cannot guarantee that our products will not become obsolete or that we will be able to develop new products that meet the changing needs of our customers. In addition, our ability to sell our products depends on the compatibility of our products with other software and hardware products. These products may change or new products may appear that are incompatible with our products. If we fail to adapt our products to remain compatible with other vendors' software and hardware, we may be unable to sell our products. THE MARKETS IN WHICH WE OPERATE ARE HIGHLY COMPETITIVE, AND SOME OF OUR COMPETITORS HAVE MORE RESOURCES AND ARE MORE ESTABLISHED THAN WE ARE, WHICH MAY HARM OUR ABILITY TO SUCCESSFULLY COMPETE. Our industry, the software industry, is highly competitive. It includes major domestic and international companies, many of which have financial, technical, marketing, sales, distribution and other resources substantially greater than ours. Many of our competitors also have greater brand recognition. In addition, new competitors may emerge, and they or existing competitors may begin offering lower-cost products, enhancements and/or additional features that we are unable to offer. As competition increases, competitors can be expected to aggressively price their products and offer new products and services that we do not currently offer. If new competitors emerge, and if they or existing competitors begin offering lower-cost products, enhancements and/or additional features, we may not be able to compete effectively and our margins may suffer as a result. Our principal competitors in the software market for the distribution industry as well as for GATS are Sage, Great Plains and Pegasus Software. In the software market for the contracting industry, our main competitors are Red Sky Software, CSB/Coins and Mentor. Our competitors in the B2B market are 4 9 generally the same competitors that we face in the contracting and distribution software markets, in addition to dedicated Internet solution vendors. WE HAVE EXPERIENCED LOSSES IN THE PAST AND MAY CONTINUE TO INCUR LOSSES IN THE FUTURE. We began our current business in July 1998 and generated net losses in our most recent fiscal year. Our net loss for 1999 was $2.4 million, a large part of which was attributable to amortization of goodwill. We may continue to incur net losses for the coming years in connection with implementing our business plan. We cannot assure you that our operating activities will ever provide a revenue base adequate to achieve or sustain profitability or that we will begin to generate positive cash flow in the near future. Our ability to provide products and services on a profitable scale and to generate positive operating results will depend on our ability to, among other things: - develop our operational and support systems - integrate our chosen technological solutions and remain current with technological advances - market our products successfully throughout our selected markets - attract and retain a sufficient customer base - raise additional capital as required - retain and attract qualified management and personnel - assimilate the operations of businesses that we have acquired and plan to acquire in the future We cannot assure you that we will be able to accomplish all of these tasks well enough to regain profitability. WE HAVE A LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY, WHICH MAY MAKE EVALUATION OF OUR BUSINESS DIFFICULT. Although some of our subsidiaries have been operating for considerably longer than Integrity itself has, we as Integrity have offered our consolidated range of products and services only since July 1998. Our limited operating history as a consolidated entity makes it difficult to evaluate our future prospects. Our prospects are subject to risks and uncertainties frequently encountered by early-stage companies, particularly in the rapidly evolving markets that we serve. Many of the risks associated with the markets in which we operate are unknown. If we fail to identify the challenges and risks in these markets or to address these risks effectively, our business will be harmed. IF OUR PRODUCT SUPPORT SERVICES FAIL TO SATISFY OUR CUSTOMERS' NEEDS, IT COULD DETER CUSTOMERS FROM PURCHASING OUR SOFTWARE OR THESE SERVICES. While we believe that our ongoing reorganization of our service and support operations will enable us to offer improved services and support to our customers, we cannot guarantee that we will achieve this goal. Our efforts to enhance our service and support offerings could fail if we are unable to successfully integrate our service and support operations throughout our business areas or if we are unable to retain and attract highly qualified service and support personnel. If we fail to provide high-quality service and support, customers could be deterred from purchasing our software. This type of failure could also prevent us from building long-term relationships with our customers, which could lead to a reduction in new or repeat business. Any of these events could cause our revenues from product sales or service and support to decline. ERRORS IN OUR PRODUCTS MAY INCREASE OUR COSTS AND IMPAIR THE MARKET ACCEPTANCE OF OUR PRODUCTS. Our software products are complex and may contain errors that can cause malfunctions at any point in a product's life cycle. While we attempt to identify and correct errors in our software, we expect that errors will continue to be found in the future. In the past, we have discovered errors in some of our products. To date, none of these errors has materially affected our business. However, product errors or delays in the future could be material, including any product errors or delays associated with the 5 10 introduction of our new products or the versions of our products that support Windows 2000, itself a recent product. The appearance of any significant errors may: - hinder market acceptance and sales of our products - divert personnel and resources required to address the errors - injure our reputation - increase maintenance costs These problems could harm our business and future operating results. WE COULD BE SUED BY OUR CUSTOMERS OR WE COULD HAVE TO REFUND MONEY TO OUR CUSTOMERS IF OUR PRODUCTS HAVE ERRORS OR FAIL. Our software typically performs functions that are critical for our customers' businesses. As a result, an error in our software could cause significant disruption to our customers' operations. Any errors in our software could lead to claims by our customers for refunds or lawsuits by our customers for damages. Our agreements with customers typically contain provisions intended to limit our exposure to liability claims. However, these provisions may be held unenforceable and may not preclude all potential claims. Liability claims could require us to spend significant time and money in litigation or to pay substantial damages. Any claims of that type, whether or not successful, could seriously damage our reputation and our business. WE MAY NOT BE SUCCESSFUL IN OUR ATTEMPTS TO ACQUIRE ATTRACTIVE COMPANIES IN ORDER TO PURSUE OUR GROWTH STRATEGY. We cannot assure you that we will be able to locate or acquire suitable acquisition candidates, or that any operations that are acquired can be effectively and profitably integrated into our existing operations. Even if we are able to identify companies that complement our strategy, we may be unable to acquire an interest in those companies for many reasons, including: - a failure to agree on the structure or terms of the acquisition - incompatibility between us and management of the target - being outbid by companies that have significantly greater financial and other resources - a lack of available capital If we are not successful in acquiring complementary businesses or product lines, we may not succeed in our growth strategy. IF WE ARE UNABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY OBTAIN THE EXPECTED BENEFITS FROM OUR PAST ACQUISITIONS, OR FROM ANY FUTURE ACQUISITIONS THAT WE MAKE, OUR GROWTH AND FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE MAY BE HARMED. Acquisitions have been, and will continue to be, a key part of our growth strategy. Since August 1998, we have acquired eight companies. If we are unable to successfully assimilate the operations, or integrate and retain the key personnel, of acquired companies, we may be unable to achieve the anticipated benefits from these acquisitions. In addition, our failure to successfully integrate any acquired companies may result in the following specific risks to our company: - our management may need to dedicate a great deal of time and attention to the acquisition and to the subsequent integration of the new business, which may harm our existing operations - we may not be able to achieve expected synergies between our current businesses and new businesses that we have acquired or may acquire, including research and development and sales and marketing efforts - it may be difficult to integrate personnel with disparate business backgrounds and to combine different corporate cultures - we may acquire companies in business or geographic markets in which we have little experience - we may incur debt or issue dilutive equity securities to pay for future acquisitions 6 11 - acquisitions may result in a variety of accounting charges that would increase our reported expenses, including amortization of goodwill and the write-off of in-process research and development The occurrence of any of these risks could harm our business and financial results. IF WE ARE UNABLE TO MANAGE OUR GROWTH SUCCESSFULLY, IT MAY DIVERT OUR RESOURCES AND HARM OUR OPERATING RESULTS. We have experienced, and are continuing to experience, a period of rapid growth, which may be difficult to manage. Our growth has placed, and any further growth is likely to continue to place, a significant strain on our managerial, operational, financial and other resources. This growth will require us to implement additional management information systems, to further develop our operating, administrative, financial and accounting systems and controls and to maintain close coordination among our research and development, accounting, finance, sales and marketing and customer service and support departments. In addition, we may be required to add and retain additional personnel to adequately support our growth. If we cannot effectively manage our expanding operations, we may not be able to continue to grow, or we may grow at a slower pace. Our failure to successfully manage growth and to develop financial controls and accounting and operating systems or to add and retain personnel that adequately support our growth would harm our business and financial results. WE DEPEND ON THE SERVICES OF OUR SENIOR MANAGEMENT AND OTHER KEY PERSONNEL, WHOSE TECHNICAL EXPERTISE AND KNOWLEDGE OF OUR BUSINESS WOULD BE DIFFICULT TO REPLACE. Our success depends to a significant degree upon the continuing contributions of key personnel, including our management team of chief executive officer Peter D. Nagle, chief financial officer Paul C. Carroll, and chief operating officer Paul B. Nagle. In addition, we rely heavily on key sales and marketing, research and development and support personnel. We have employment contracts with most of our key personnel, but we cannot guarantee that all of these personnel will remain with us for any period in the future. If we are unable to retain our senior management team, we may not be able to execute our growth strategy and our results of operations may be harmed. WE MAY BE UNABLE TO HIRE AND RETAIN SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT AND SALES AND MARKETING PERSONNEL NECESSARY TO EXECUTE OUR BUSINESS STRATEGY. We believe that our future success will depend in part upon our ability to attract and retain highly skilled software developers, as well as sales and marketing personnel, particularly as we continue to grow. Competition for this type of personnel is intense, and we cannot ensure that we will be successful in attracting and retaining personnel of adequate quality and in sufficient numbers to meet our needs in the future. If we fail to attract and retain key personnel, it could harm our business, limit our growth, and damage our competitiveness. WE DEPEND ON PROPRIETARY TECHNOLOGY FOR WHICH WE DO NOT HAVE PATENTS OR OTHER PROPRIETARY PROTECTION; WE ALSO RUN THE RISK OF THIRD-PARTY INFRINGEMENT CLAIMS. Our success is substantially dependent upon the protection of our proprietary technologies, and our profitability could suffer if third parties infringe upon our intellectual property rights or misappropriate our technologies. We presently have no patents or patent applications with respect to our proprietary technologies. Instead, we currently rely upon copyright and trademark laws, trade secrets, confidentiality procedures and contractual provisions to protect our proprietary products. All of these afford only limited protection. We cannot be certain that we will be able to prevent unauthorized parties from copying or otherwise obtaining and using our products or technology, particularly in foreign countries where the laws may not protect proprietary rights as fully as those in the United States. Furthermore, actions by us to enforce our intellectual property rights, protect our trade secrets or determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others could result in our incurring substantial costs and diversion of our resources. 7 12 Our competitors may independently develop or patent technologies that are substantially equivalent or superior to our technologies. In addition, we cannot be sure that third parties will not assert infringement claims against us or with respect to products and technologies which we license from third parties. These claims could require us to pay extensive damages or enter into costly settlement agreements. In addition, any claims, with or without merit, could: - be time-consuming to defend - result in costly litigation - divert our management's attention and resources - cause product shipment delays - require us to enter into royalty or licensing agreements which may not be available on terms acceptable to us, if at all If we are unable to license or otherwise use products and technologies in which third parties have rights, we will have to redevelop these products or incur substantial additional expenses in order to sell these products, which could harm our business. WE MAY HAVE DIFFICULTY RAISING ADDITIONAL CAPITAL NECESSARY TO EXECUTE OUR STRATEGY. Executing our strategy may require the commitment of substantial amounts of capital. If our business operations do not provide enough capital to fund our expansion and achieve our goals, we will have to raise additional funding through the issuance of debt or equity. Other than our L4.0 million revolving credit facility for acquisitions and our L1.0 million working capital credit facility, we have no current commitments or arrangements with respect to, or readily available sources of, additional funding. We cannot ensure that we will be able to raise additional funds by issuing debt or equity securities under satisfactory terms at the time we need funds. As a result, we may not be able to take advantage of market opportunities or potential acquisition opportunities. IF WE CANNOT MAINTAIN AND EXPAND OUR INDIRECT SALES CHANNEL TO SELL OUR PRODUCTS, OUR ABILITY TO GENERATE REVENUES MAY BE HARMED. We intend to market and sell our products and services both directly through our internal sales force and indirectly through VARs. Until recently, we marketed and sold our products exclusively through our direct sales force, and we may not be able to maintain and expand our sales channel with the VARs. Regardless of our efforts, VARs may not devote sufficient resources to marketing and supporting our products and could discontinue selling our products at any time in favor of our competitors' products or for any other reason. OUR GLOBAL OPERATIONS AND ANY FUTURE EXPANSION EXPOSES US TO LESS DEVELOPED MARKETS, UNFAMILIAR LEGAL REGIMES, POTENTIAL POLITICAL INSTABILITY AND OTHER ECONOMIC AND POLITICAL RISKS. We currently conduct operations predominantly in the United Kingdom, Ireland and South Africa. We intend to evaluate opportunities to expand our business by seeking new customers and acquiring complementary businesses or products in other foreign countries, including the rest of Europe, the United States and Australia. These international operations expose us to various economic, political and other risks, including the following: Less developed markets. We may attempt to sell our products in countries with software markets that are less developed than the markets we currently serve. If any of these new markets do not mature, our business activities may fail. Compliance with laws. As we expand internationally, we will become increasingly subject to the laws and regulations of foreign countries and the costs of complying with such laws. We may not be familiar with these laws and regulations, and these laws and regulations may change at any time. 8 13 Accordingly, it may be difficult for us to foresee risks and costs associated with compliance with those laws at the time of our entry into those countries. Political instability. We may purchase interests in foreign companies that are located, or that transact business, in parts of the world that experience political instability. Political instability may have a negative impact on the subject country's economy, and may limit or eliminate a subsidiary company's ability to conduct business. Economic policy changes. Changes in policies by foreign governments resulting in, among other things, increased duties, higher taxation, currency conversion limitations, restrictions on the transfer or repatriation of funds or limitations on imports or exports could damage our business. Lack of developed infrastructure. The countries in which we may do business may not have developed a communication and/or transportation infrastructure sufficient to support the needs of our current or future business. A lack of developed infrastructure could limit our ability to conduct our business in such countries and may harm our business. Management of a multi-national organization. As we expand globally, management of employees, accounting, taxation and other organizational elements of our business will become increasingly complex. Any failure to manage the international implications of global expansion may harm our business. WE FACE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH INTERNATIONAL TRADE AND CURRENCY EXCHANGE. Because of our international operations, all of our sales are denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars. We do not currently engage in currency hedging activities. Although exposure to currency fluctuations to date has been insignificant, future fluctuations in currency exchange rates may harm our operating results. To the extent that we also sell products and services in currencies other than the local currency, we may also be less competitive than a vendor whose products are sold in the local currency during times of exchange rate instability. In addition, although all of our revenues are denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars, we report our operating results in U.S. dollars. These reports may therefore be affected by exchange rate fluctuations and may not accurately reflect operating results. We expect that our international sales operations will increase substantially, and that we will continue to be subject to currency exchange risk. FLUCTUATIONS IN OUR QUARTERLY OPERATING RESULTS MAY AFFECT OUR STOCK PRICE. Our operating results can vary, sometimes substantially, from quarter to quarter. These fluctuations may be due to a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control. These factors include: - the varying length of the sales cycles for our products - the size and timing of our licensing transactions - the timing of release, proper operation and market acceptance of our products - changes in the budget cycles of our customers - seasonality of our customers' technology purchases - economic recessions in the geographic markets we serve - foreign currency exchange rates The timing of our revenue recognition can be affected by many factors, including the timing of a contract's execution and delivery, a customer's acceptance and our post-delivery obligations with respect to the installation and implementation of our products. As a result, the time between contract execution and the satisfaction of the criteria necessary for revenue recognition can be lengthy and unpredictable and, consequently, may affect our revenues. As a result, it is possible that in some future quarters our results of operations may fall below the expectations of some securities analysts and investors. In that event, the trading price of our stock may likely be materially and adversely affected. 9 14 THE TAX BENEFITS THAT WE CURRENTLY RECEIVE IN IRELAND MAY BE LOST IF WE FAIL TO SATISFY SPECIFIED CONDITIONS. We maintain our principal headquarters in Ireland. As a means of encouraging foreign investment, the Irish government provides tax incentives and exemptions from regulatory restrictions. Among the benefits that directly affect us are a reduced tax rate applicable to certain companies operating from Ireland. To be eligible for these tax benefits, we must continue to meet specified conditions including developing software in Ireland. Our failure to meet these conditions could result in cancellation of these tax benefits or these tax benefits could be discontinued or modified in the future. If either of these situations were to occur, our profitability could be harmed. OUR BUSINESS, OPERATING RESULTS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION COULD SUFFER FROM THE RESIDUAL IMPACT OF THE YEAR 2000 TRANSITION. We have executed a plan designed to make our software applications Year 2000 ready. To date, none of our applications have experienced material difficulties from the transition to Year 2000. During the Year 2000, it is possible that material difficulties could still be discovered or could arise. Computer experts have warned that there may still be residual consequences of the change in century date. Any such difficulties could result in a decrease in the purchase of our software products, interruptions of data or other critical information, an increase in allocation of resources to address Year 2000 problems or an increase in litigation costs relating to losses due to such Year 2000 problems. Any of these events could materially harm our business or financial results. OUR TRADING PRICE MAY BE VOLATILE, AND AN ACTIVE PUBLIC MARKET FOR OUR COMMON STOCK MAY NOT DEVELOP. Currently our common stock trades over the counter. Although we have applied to have our common stock approved for quotation and trading on the Nasdaq National Market upon completion of this offering, an active public market may not develop. If our daily stock trading remains limited, one large purchase or sale can affect our stock price more than it would a more widely traded stock. Additionally, the price of our common stock that will prevail in the market after the offering may be higher or lower than the price you pay and could fluctuate widely due to factors beyond our control. Significant factors that may affect our stock price include: - actual or anticipated fluctuation in our operating results - announcements of major new products by us or our competitors - changes in security analysts' expectation of us - general market conditions AFTER THIS OFFERING, OUR EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS AND ENTITIES AFFILIATED WITH THEM WILL STILL CONTROL ALL MATTERS REQUIRING A STOCKHOLDER VOTE. Currently, our existing officers, directors and entities affiliated with, and immediate family members of, our officers and directors in the aggregate beneficially own approximately 61% of our outstanding capital stock. Upon consummation of this offering, they will continue to own a majority of our outstanding capital stock. As a result, those persons, acting together, will have the ability to control the vote on all matters requiring approval by our stockholders, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions, and might act in a manner inconsistent with the wishes of our other stockholders. This concentration of ownership may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control. YOU WILL INCUR IMMEDIATE AND SUBSTANTIAL DILUTION IN THE NET TANGIBLE BOOK VALUE OF THE SHARES YOU PURCHASE. As a purchaser of our stock, you will incur immediate substantial dilution in net tangible book value per share from the public offering price in the amount of $ , assuming an offering price as set forth on the cover page. Additionally, your ownership interest will be further diluted if outstanding or 10 15 future stock options to purchase our stock are exercised or if we issue additional shares in connection with acquisitions or for other purposes. For a more detailed discussion of how you will be affected by dilution, see "Dilution." SALES OF OUTSTANDING COMMON STOCK MAY DEPRESS THE STOCK PRICE AFTER THE OFFERING. A substantial number of shares of our common stock could be sold into the public market after this offering. The occurrence of such sales, or the perception that such sales could occur, could materially lower our stock price or could impair our ability to obtain capital through an offering of equity securities. After this offering, we will have outstanding 16,957,808 shares of common stock, or 17,197,808 shares if the underwriters exercise in full their option to purchase additional shares of common stock in the offering. In addition, 1,650,000 shares of common stock may be issued under our stock option plan. The shares of common stock being sold in this offering will be freely transferable under the securities laws immediately after issuance, except for any shares sold to "affiliates" of Integrity. In connection with this offering, our directors, executive officers and stockholders holding 10,797,617 shares of our common stock will agree under written "lock-up" agreements that, for a period of 180 days from the date of this prospectus, they will not sell their shares. As a result, upon the expiration of the lock-up agreements 180 days after the date of this prospectus, these shares of common stock will be eligible for sale on the first anniversary of their respective dates of issuance, subject, in most cases, to certain volume and other restrictions under the federal securities laws. The remaining shares of common stock that are not subject to these lock-up agreements are, or will become on the first anniversary of their respective dates of issuance, eligible for resale under the federal securities laws, subject to these same restrictions. We have also entered into a registration rights agreement that requires us to register for resale 1,536,000 shares of common stock held by a stockholder. OUR MANAGEMENT AND BOARD OF DIRECTORS MAY FAIL TO USE THE OFFERING PROCEEDS EFFECTIVELY. We have not designated any specific use for the net proceeds of this offering. As a result, our management and board of directors will have broad discretion in spending the proceeds of this offering. We cannot assure you that we will use the proceeds in a way that will ultimately lead to profitability. WE ARE SUBJECT TO ANTI-TAKEOVER PROVISIONS OF DELAWARE LAW AND IN OUR CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION WHICH MAY AFFECT THE VALUE OF OUR STOCK. As a Delaware corporation, we are subject to Section 203 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. In general, Section 203 restricts the ability of a public Delaware corporation from engaging in a "business combination" with an "interested stockholder" for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder. As a result of the application of Section 203, potential acquirors may be discouraged from attempting to acquire us, which could possibly deprive our stockholders of acquisition opportunities to sell or otherwise dispose of our stock at above-market prices typical of acquisitions. In addition, our certificate of incorporation divides our board of directors into three classes whose terms are staggered to begin in successive years. This and other provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws could delay or prevent a change of control or sale of Integrity. The existence of these provisions of Delaware law and our certificate of incorporation could depress our stock price below that which would otherwise prevail in a marketplace where in the absence of those limits, stockholders wishing to accumulate large positions or assume control of our board of directors would be free to bid up the price of our stock. 11 16 FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS This prospectus contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. You may find these statements under the sections entitled "Prospectus Summary," "Use of Proceeds," "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," "Business" or "Risk Factors," or by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "plan," "project," "may," "will" or other similar words. We have based these forward-looking statements on our own information and on information from other sources that we believe are reliable. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements about our market opportunities, strategies, competition, expected activities and expenditures as we pursue our business plan. Many factors could cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements that may be expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements, including: - any failure of our products to perform adequately or claims by customers for errors in our products - our inability to acquire companies necessary to pursue our growth strategy - our inability to assimilate the operations of past or future acquisitions - the loss of the right to use proprietary technology and any third-party claims against us for infringement - difficulty in raising additional capital funds - our inability to hire or retain senior management and other key personnel - our failure to develop new channels to sell our products or to successfully compete in our chosen markets or to expand into new markets - unanticipated downturns in the markets in which we operate - our inability to achieve positive operating results These factors are not exhaustive. Factors that could cause our actual results, performance or achievements to differ include, but are not limited to, those discussed in "Risk Factors." Given this level of uncertainty, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this prospectus. 12 17 USE OF PROCEEDS The net proceeds to us from the sale of our shares of common stock in the offering are expected to be approximately $ , based on an assumed offering price of $ per share, after deducting the underwriting discount and estimated offering expenses that we will have to pay. The principal purpose of the offering is to finance our research and development activities, and to finance future acquisitions. The balance of the net proceeds will be used for general corporate and working capital purposes. Pending these uses, we intend to invest the net proceeds to us from the offering in short-term, investment-grade, interest-bearing securities. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares by selling stockholders pursuant to the exercise of the over-allotment option. DIVIDEND POLICY We have not previously paid any cash or other dividends with respect to our common stock. We do not expect to pay any dividends for the foreseeable future. We intend to retain our earnings to finance our operations and any future investments and business combinations. Our Board of Directors will decide from year to year whether dividends will be paid based on factors such as our results of operations, general business conditions, capital requirements, overall financial condition and any other factors that the Board considers relevant. 13 18 CAPITALIZATION The following table sets forth our consolidated capitalization at December 31, 1999 and as adjusted to reflect our receipt of the estimated net proceeds of $ from the sale of 3,000,000 shares offered by this prospectus at an assumed offering price of $ per share, after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and our portion of estimated net offering expenses as described under "Use of Proceeds."

The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the high and low bid prices per share of our common stock, as reported in the OTC Bulletin Board from August 1998 to January 2000 and as reported in the Pink Sheets by the National Quotation Bureau, LLC since January 2000. The prices listed below reflect bid prices only and may not represent actual transactions. HIGH LOW -------- ------- YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998: Third Quarter (from August 21, 1998)...................... $ 20.625 $13.750 Fourth Quarter............................................ 20.781 5.000 YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999: First Quarter............................................. 25.625 7.500 Second Quarter............................................ 24.375 11.875 Third Quarter............................................. 14.688 5.000 Fourth Quarter............................................ 29.688 7.500 YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2000: First Quarter (through March 20, 2000).................... 21.875 10.000 As of March 17, 2000, we had 295 holders of record of our common stock. On March 21, 2000, the last reported bid price for our common stock as reported in the Pink Sheets was $21.250. 15 20 DILUTION Purchasers of our common stock offered hereby will experience an immediate and substantial dilution in the net tangible book value of the common stock from the public offering price. The deficit in net tangible book value of our company as of December 31, 1999 was approximately $9.2 million or approximately $0.78 per share of common stock. The deficit in net tangible book value per share represents the amount by which our total liabilities exceed our net tangible assets divided by the number of outstanding shares of common stock. After giving effect to the sale of the 3,000,000 shares of common stock offered by us at the assumed public offering price of $ per share, and after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, our pro forma net tangible book value at December 31, 1999 would have been approximately $ million or approximately $ per share. This represents an immediate and substantial increase in net tangible book value of approximately $ per share to existing stockholders and an immediate and substantial dilution of approximately $ per share to new investors purchasing the shares in this offering. The following table illustrates the per share dilution: Public offering price....................................... $-- Deficit in net tangible book value before the offering.... $(0.78) Increase in net tangible book value attributable to new investors.............................................. -- ------ Pro forma net tangible book value after the offering...... -- --- Dilution to new investors................................... $-- === The following table sets forth as of December 31, 1999 the number of shares of common stock purchased from us, the total consideration paid and the average price per share paid by existing stockholders and the new investors purchasing shares of common stock from us in this offering (before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses): SHARES PURCHASED TOTAL CONSIDERATION AVERAGE --------------------- --------------------- PRICE NUMBER PERCENT AMOUNT PERCENT PER SHARE ---------- ------- ---------- ------- --------- Existing stockholders................. 11,784,473 79.7% $7,243,126 % $0.615 New investors......................... 3,000,000 20.3 $ ---------- ----- ---------- ----- Total................................. 14,784,473 100.0% $ 100.0% ========== ===== ========== ===== The foregoing discussion and tables assume no exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option or of any outstanding stock options after December 31, 1999. 16 21 SELECTED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL DATA You should read the following selected consolidated financial data in conjunction with "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and the financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this prospectus. Our consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1998 and 1999 have been audited by BDO International, independent accountants, and our financial statements for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998 have been restated to reflect our December 7, 1999 merger with Jyris Limited, which has been accounted for as a pooling of interests. Our consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1998 and 1999 have been prepared and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or U.S. GAAP. The financial statements for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1996 (not included herein) are unaudited and are the statements of the Wyse Group plc, which is considered to be our predecessor for accounting purposes, and have been prepared and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principals in the United Kingdom. These financial statements have not been reconciled to U.S. GAAP; however, in the opinion of our management, there is no material difference in these presentations. The pro forma financial data summarizes our Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Information included elsewhere in this prospectus, which includes the results of operations of each of the companies acquired in 1999 (including companies acquired by Jyris) as if all companies had been acquired on January 1, 1999. The as adjusted balance sheet data gives effect to the sale of 3,000,000 shares of common stock in this offering at an assumed offering price of $ per share and the application of the net proceeds therefrom, after deducting underwriting commissions and discounts and estimated offering expenses payable by us.

This discussion contains certain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. See "Forward- Looking Statements." Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed here. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include those discussed in "Risk Factors" as well as those discussed elsewhere in this prospectus. Our financial statements are reported in U.S. dollars and prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Unless otherwise stated, the data presented in this discussion is derived from our actual statements of financial condition and results of operation, and not from pro forma financial statements. In the following discussion, the period to period comparisons of our operating results do not include information regarding percentage increases or decreases in items such as revenues. Our history of acquisitions, described below, has caused wide variations in these items and management believes that the resulting percentage increases and decreases are not meaningful. The pro forma financial data summarizes our Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Information included elsewhere in this prospectus, which includes the results of operations of each of the companies acquired in 1999 (including companies acquired by Jyris Limited) as if all companies had been acquired on January 1, 1999. OVERVIEW We are a provider of web-enabled, enterprise-wide software applications for smaller to mid-sized organizations. We operate our business as four integrated business areas: - business-to-business, or B2B - software - general accounting and technical services, or GATS - computer finance services, or CFS We recognize revenues from three sources: - license and systems sales - support and maintenance - services Our company was originally incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on July 27, 1977, and was inactive from 1980 to 1998. On July 13, 1998, our company issued 4,000,000 shares to its then-current owners for $0.0025 per share, along with options to acquire an additional 2,511,800 shares at an exercise price of $2.50 per share. At that time, we put a management team in place to institute our strategic plan to develop our company into an information technology company through the acquisition of existing businesses. Pursuant to our strategic plan, on August 4, 1998 we acquired The Wyse Group plc. For accounting purposes, Wyse is treated as our predecessor entity for all periods prior to August 4, 1998. Until October 1998, the time of our next acquisition after Wyse, our only source of revenues was Wyse's computer finance agency services. On March 13, 2000, we reincorporated in Delaware and changed our name to Integrity Software, Inc. ACQUISITION HISTORY. To date, a substantial part of our growth has been achieved through acquisitions. For the period from August 4, 1998 to December 31, 1999, we completed eight strategic acquisitions, including the acquisition of Jyris Limited, a provider of enterprise-wide software applications, on December 7, 1999. In exchange for all of the outstanding capital stock of Jyris, we issued 6,365,064 shares of our common stock. Like our company, Jyris was engaged in a strategy of growth through strategic acquisitions. Jyris was incorporated in November of 1998 and completed seven acquisitions prior to being acquired by us. The first acquisition Jyris made as part of its strategy was the acquisition of Ibis Systems Limited on January 1, 1999. We accounted for our acquisition of Jyris as a pooling of interests, and have restated our consolidated financial statements for 1999 and 1998 to reflect the consummation of the Jyris transaction. As a result, 20 25 our financial position, results of operations and cash flows are presented as if the pooled companies had been consolidated since November 1998 (the incorporation date of Jyris). Our other seven acquisitions were accounted for using the purchase method. Given the number of acquisitions in the periods presented and the impact that those acquisitions have had on our financial condition and operating results, the comparisons of our operating results from period to period may not necessarily be meaningful. The table below sets forth all of our acquisitions from August 1998 to December 1999.

We derive revenues from three principal sources, which are: License and systems sales -- License and systems sales revenues are derived from initial software licensing, business-to-business software, implementation services and hardware sales related to turnkey solutions. Support and maintenance -- Support and maintenance revenues are derived from annual contracts that automatically renew unless terminated, to provide on-site maintenance and technical support for our software and systems, and access to our help desk hotlines. These contracts typically provide for fees that amount to approximately 20% of the initial license fees we receive from our software sales to customers. Services -- Services revenues are derived from the training, consultancy and computer finance services we offer in connection with our systems and on a stand-alone basis. The following table sets forth the percentages of our 1999 total revenue attributable to each of our revenue sources, broken out by business area. B2B SOFTWARE GATS CFS --- -------- ---- --- License and systems sales................................... 98% 71% 61% -- Support and maintenance..................................... 1 25 31 -- Services.................................................... 1 4 8 100% --- --- --- --- Totals................................................. 100% 100% 100% 100% === === === === All of our revenues for all periods to December 31, 1997 consisted of services revenues and reflect the fact that all of the revenues of Wyse, our predecessor company, were derived from computer finance services. Since July 1998, the various acquisitions we have consummated have caused our revenue sources to change significantly. In the future, we expect the proportion of our revenues attributable to license and systems sales and support and maintenance to continue to grow. GROSS PROFIT. We generally derive different gross profit margins from our three principal revenue sources. For 1999, they were as follows: License and systems sales -- The gross profit margin was 51%. The costs of revenues for license and systems sales consist primarily of personnel costs, third-party software licenses, hardware costs and related expenses for implementation and training. Support and maintenance -- The gross profit margin was 80%. Costs of revenues for support and maintenance primarily consist of personnel costs. Support and maintenance is typically supplied on a contract basis, for a period of one or more years. Services -- The gross profit margin was 23%. The costs of services revenues consist of personnel and outsourcing costs. SALES AND MARKETING. These expenses consist primarily of sales personnel costs, advertising, promotional literature and other public relations expenses. GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. These expenses consist of salaries and benefits for administration, executive, finance, legal, human resources and associated overheads as well as bad debts, accounting and legal expenses. Our general and administrative expenses also include depreciation of fixed assets. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. These expenses include personnel costs, facilities and overheads associated with the development of new products and technologies. AMORTIZATION OF GOODWILL. These expenses are derived solely from the goodwill arising as a result of the seven acquisitions that we made and the seven acquisitions that Jyris made using the purchase method of accounting. Goodwill is amortized on a straight-line basis over 10 years. The total amortization for the year ended December 31, 1999 was $1.9 million. 22 27 SEASONALITY. In our limited operating history we have experienced some seasonal fluctuations in revenues, with less revenue recognition occurring in the first and fourth quarters of our fiscal years, particularly in the months of January and December. We believe that these seasonal fluctuations are attributable to our customers being less inclined to make purchasing decisions regarding products and services such as ours during these particular months. CURRENCY TRANSLATION AND TRANSACTIONS. All of our business is conducted in currencies other than U.S. dollars, the currency into which the historical consolidated financial statements have been translated. Historically, we have recorded substantially all of our operating expenses in British and Irish pounds. Our consolidated balance sheets are translated into U.S. dollars at the respective exchange rates prevailing on the balance sheet dates, and the statements of operations and cash flows are translated into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rates for the relevant periods. Gains and losses resulting from the translation are accumulated as a separate component of stockholders' equity. Increase in the exchange rates from British and Irish pounds to U.S. dollars from one year to the next negatively impact stockholders' equity. Net gains and losses resulting from currency exchange transactions are included in our statement of operations. We did not incur material net foreign exchange transaction losses in 1997, 1998 or 1999. Because of the currencies involved, the constant exposures and the substantial volatility of exchange rates, we may experience currency losses in the future, and we cannot predict the effect of exchange fluctuations on our future operating results. We have not previously undertaken hedging transactions to cover possible currency exposure, but may implement such a program in the future if appropriate. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the percentage of revenues represented by each item in our statement of operations: YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, ---------------------------------- 1997 1998 1999 1999 ---- ---- ---- ----------- (PRO FORMA) REVENUES: (Percentage of Total Revenue) License and systems sales................................. -- 12% 47% 49% Support and maintenance................................... -- 11 22 20 Services.................................................. 100% 77 30 31 --- --- --- --- Total revenues......................................... 100 100 100 100 COST OF REVENUES: (Percentage of Each Revenue Item) License and systems sales................................. -- 50 49 44 Support and maintenance................................... -- 20 20 20 Services.................................................. 78 79 77 69 Total cost of revenues................................. 78 70 51 47 GROSS PROFIT: (Percentage of Each Revenue Item) License and systems sales................................. -- 50 51 56 Support and maintenance................................... -- 80 80 80 Services.................................................. 22 21 23 31 Total gross profit..................................... 22 31 49 53 23 28 YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, ---------------------------------- 1997 1998 1999 1999 ---- ---- ---- ----------- (PRO FORMA) OPERATING EXPENSES: Sales and marketing....................................... 1 1 12 11 General and administrative................................ 18 22 34 38 Research and development.................................. -- -- 5 5 Amortization of goodwill.................................. -- 1 4 4 --- --- --- --- Total operating expenses............................... 19 24 55 58 Income (loss) from operations............................... 3 7 (6) (5) Other income................................................ -- 1 2 1 --- --- --- --- INCOME (LOSS) BEFORE INCOME TAX............................. 3 8 (4) (4) Taxation.................................................... 1 2 1 1 --- --- --- --- NET INCOME (LOSS)........................................... 2% 6% (5)% (5)% === === === === YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999 AND DECEMBER 31, 1998 REVENUES. Our total revenues for the year ended December 31, 1999 were $49.2 million, representing an increase of $38.8 million compared to total revenues of $10.4 million in 1998. This increase was primarily attributable to the inclusion of revenues from Saracen Computer Systems Limited, Information Support Limited, or ISL, and Premier Computer Group Limited -- companies that we acquired in 1998 -- for the full 1999 fiscal year. In addition, because our 1999 and 1998 financial statements are restated for the acquisition of Jyris, revenues from Jyris are included for the full year of 1999. Jyris contributed $14.4 million in revenues in 1999 and had no revenues in 1998. No single customer accounted for more than 5% of our total revenues for 1999 or 1998. License and Systems Sales Our revenues from license and systems sales for the year ended December 31, 1999 were $23.3 million, representing an increase of $22.0 million over revenues of $1.3 million for the year ended December 31, 1998. This increase was due to the inclusion of full-year financials for acquired businesses, including Saracen, ISL and Premier, all of which were acquired in the latter part of 1998. The combined revenues from these three businesses included in our 1999 revenues were $14.2 million. Because these companies were acquired in 1998, only part of their revenues, $1.3 million in the aggregate, were included in our 1998 results. Our license and systems sales revenues for 1999 also include $9.1 million from Jyris. Jyris had no 1998 revenues. We expect that license and systems sales revenues will constitute a larger portion of our total revenues as we begin to upgrade customers from legacy products to our next-generation products and as we include full-year revenues from businesses that we acquired in 1999. Our license and systems sales revenues generated from our B2B business in 1999 were $868,000, all of which were generated from previously existing customers. These revenues were from sales of software products that allow our customers to conduct business over the Internet. There were no revenues from B2B in previous years because we implemented this line of business in 1999. We expect that the proportion of our total revenues derived from the B2B business will increase significantly in the future as our customers increasingly require e-business solutions. Support and Maintenance Revenues from support and maintenance for the year ended December 31, 1999 were $11.0 million, representing an increase of $9.9 million over revenues of $1.1 million in 1998. This increase resulted from the inclusion of revenues from Saracen, ISL and Premier for the full year of 1999, as opposed to part-year 24 29 inclusion from their respective dates of acquisition in 1998. Support and maintenance revenues for 1999 also include full-year revenues from Jyris and $199,000 generated in December 1999 by two companies that they acquired in that month. We anticipate that the proportion of revenues derived from support and maintenance will increase in the future with the inclusion of full year revenues of acquired businesses and as our customers convert from legacy products to next-generation products. Services Revenues for services were $14.9 million for the year ended December 31, 1999, which represents an increase of $6.9 million, as compared to $8.0 million in 1998. As a percentage of total revenues, services decreased to 30% in 1999 from 77% in 1998. This decrease in revenues from services as a percentage of total revenues is attributable to the fact that until October 1998, our only revenues were from Wyse's computer finance agency services. The overall decline in services revenues as a percentage of total revenues is consistent with our strategy of reducing our emphasis on lower-margin services, particularly computer finance services. In addition to the revenues from computer finance services, $1.9 million of services revenues for 1999 were attributable to consultancy and training services. This represented an increase of $1.6 million from 1998, when we derived approximately $298,000 of revenues from consultancy and training services. This increase is attributable to the inclusion of Jyris in our 1999 revenues for the full year. GROSS PROFIT. License and Systems Sales The gross profit margin for license and systems sales was 51% for the year ended December 31, 1999, compared to 50% for 1998. The increase of 1% is attributable to the inclusion of Jyris's results of operations in our financial statements for 1999, as Jyris was able to achieve slightly higher margins on its sales. If we are able to develop and commercialize more of our own software products, rather than resell products that have been developed by others, we expect the gross profit margins from license and systems sales to continue to increase. Support and Maintenance The gross profit margin for support and maintenance was 80% for the years ended December 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998. Services The gross profit margin for services was 23% for the year ended December 31, 1999, compared to 21% for the year ended December 31, 1998. This 2% increase is attributable to the increase in consultancy and training services, which accounted for $1.9 million of revenues in 1999 and only $298,000 of revenues in 1998. We expect the gross profit margin from services to continue to increase as a result of our strategy of increasing our emphasis on higher margin business lines such as consultancy and training. SALES AND MARKETING. Our sales and marketing expenses were $5.7 million for the year ended December 31, 1999, compared to $60,000 for the year ended December 31, 1998. Sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of total revenues were 12% for year ended December 31, 1999, compared to less than 1% for the year ended December 31, 1998. The increase in sales expenses reflects significant personnel-related expenses such as salaries and commissions, recruiting fees and other costs of hiring. In addition, we experienced an increase in marketing expenses associated with trade exhibitions and advertising in trade publications. The increase also reflects the significant shift in our business from providing computer finance services to providing web-enabled, enterprise-wide software applications. Sales and marketing expenses increased as a percentage of total revenues in 1999 as a result of our acquisition of higher margin software businesses with correspondingly higher sales costs. We anticipate that our sales and marketing expenditures will continue to rise for the foreseeable future as we expand our sales force. 25 30 GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. Our general and administrative expenses were $17.0 million for the year ended December 31, 1999, representing an increase of $14.7 million over general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 1998. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenues were 34% for the year ended December 31, 1999, compared to 22% for the year ended December 31, 1998. The increase in general and administrative expenses was due to the cumulative effect of the general and administrative costs of the eight companies acquired by Integrity and the seven companies acquired by Jyris in 1998 and 1999 and the hiring of related professional accounting and legal advisors. The general and administrative expenses for Jyris Limited for the year ended 1999 was $7.9 million. We expect that general and administrative costs as a percentage of revenues will decrease in the future as we realize anticipated synergies from our acquisitions and consolidation of our administrative functions. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. Our research and development expenses were $2.5 million for the year ended December 31, 1999, as compared to $20,000 for the year ended December 31, 1998. Research and development expenses as a percentage of licensing and systems sales revenues were 11% for the year ended December 31, 1999. The increase in our research and development expenses for 1999 is attributable to the increases in personnel we have made among software engineers, quality assurance personnel and outside contractors in order to support the product development, documentation and testing activities related to the development and release of our next-generation product versions. Until October 1998, all of our operations consisted of Wyse's computer finance services, which did not require research and development expenditures. AMORTIZATION OF GOODWILL. Goodwill amortization for the year ended December 31, 1999 was $1.9 million compared to $60,000 in the year ended December 31, 1998. This increase was due to our continued growth through acquisitions, most of which have been accounted for using the purchase method. We amortize goodwill on a straight-line basis over 10 years. The total gross amount of intangible assets at December 31, 1999 was $20.4 million, compared to $6.9 million for the year ended December 31, 1998. OPERATING INCOME (LOSS). We had an operating loss of $2.8 million in 1999, compared to operating income of $757,000 in 1998. This change resulted from a number of factors, including increased general and administrative costs, sales and marketing costs, research and development costs and amortization of goodwill, all of which resulted from the inclusion of acquired companies in our results of operations. PRE-TAX INCOME (LOSS). Our pre-tax loss for 1999 was $2.1 million, compared to pre-tax income of $829,000 in 1998. Net interest expense was $92,000 for the year ended December 31, 1999, compared to $2,000 for the year ended December 31, 1998. These charges were incurred as a result of financing our short-term debt and working capital needs. As of December 31, 1999, we had no long-term debt other than capital lease commitments. Other income for the year ended December 31, 1999 amounted to $745,000, compared to $75,000 for the year ended December 31, 1998. This income came from our sale of two businesses that were not core to our future strategy. TAXES. Taxes on income increased to $268,000 for the year ended December 31, 1999 from $189,000 for the year ended December 31, 1998. The charge for 1999 was due entirely to capital gains tax on the sales of two non-core businesses. For 1999, no taxes were paid on income. The effective tax rate for 1998 was 22.8%. The effective tax rate is lower than the statutory rate because we take advantage of the special 10% tax rate applicable to some companies operating in Ireland. NET INCOME (LOSS). We had a net loss of $2.4 million for the year ended December 31, 1999, or $0.21 per diluted share, as compared with net income of $640,000, or $0.20 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 1998. The loss for 1999 is partially attributable to amortization expenses of $1.9 million associated with our various acquisitions that have been accounted for using the purchase method. In addition, Jyris had net losses for fiscal 1999 of $1.7 million, which are included in our operating results. Of Jyris's net loss, $1.1 million is attributable to an amortization charge related to its prior acquisitions. 26 31 Pro Forma for the Year Ended December 31, 1999 and Actual Year Ended December 31, 1999 Our pro forma revenues for the year ended December 31, 1999 were $59.7 million as compared to $49.2 million of actual revenues. This increase in revenues is a result of the inclusion of full-year revenues of the companies acquired during the year. The pro forma net loss for 1999 was $2.9 million, or $0.25 per share, as compared to actual net losses for 1999 of $2.4 million, or $0.21 per share. The pro forma results include amortization of goodwill of $2.4 million for the year ended December 31, 1999, as compared to $1.9 million actual. This difference reflects the amortization of goodwill as if our acquisitions had taken place at January 1, 1999. These results are not necessarily indicative of the results that would have been achieved had the acquisitions occurred on January 1, 1999. Years Ended December 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997 REVENUES. Our total revenues for the year ended December 31, 1998 were $10.4 million, representing an increase of $8.4 million from total revenues in 1997. This increase is partially attributable to the inclusion in our operating results of three months of revenues from Saracen and ISL, which we acquired in the fourth quarter of 1998. No single customer accounted for more than 5% of our total revenues for 1998 or 1997. License and Systems Sales Our revenues from license and systems sales for the year ended December 31, 1998 were $1.3 million. These revenues are attributable to the inclusion in our operating results of three months of revenues from Saracen and ISL. We had no revenues from our B2B business in 1998. Support and Maintenance Revenues from support and maintenance for the year ended December 31, 1998 were $1.1 million. These revenues are attributable to the inclusion in our operating results of three months of revenues from Saracen and ISL. Services Revenues from services were $8.0 million for the year ended December 31, 1998, which represents an increase of $6.0 million over revenues in 1997 of $2.0 million. This increase is attributable to the growth in the computer finance industry and the wider availability of innovative financing methods for both hardware and software. GROSS PROFIT. License and Systems Sales The gross profit margin from license and systems sales was 50% for the year ended December 31, 1998. We had no revenue from license and systems sales in 1997. Support and Maintenance The gross profit margin for support and maintenance for the year ended December 31, 1998 was 80%. We had no revenue from support and maintenance in 1997. Services The gross profit margin from services for the year ended December 31, 1998 was 21%, as compared with 22% for the year ended December 31, 1997. 27 32 SALES AND MARKETING. Our sales and marketing expenses were $60,000 for the year ended December 31, 1998, representing an increase of $40,000 over our sales and marketing expenses for the year ended December 31, 1997. Sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of total revenues were 1% for both the year ended December 31, 1998 and the year ended December 31, 1997. GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. Our general and administrative expenses were $2.3 million for the year ended December 31, 1998, representing an increase of $1.9 million over our general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 1997. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenues were 22% for the year ended December 31, 1998, compared to 18% for the year ended December 31, 1997. This increase represents the inclusion of expenses related to acquisitions that we consummated in the fourth quarter of 1998. In addition, we experienced higher general and administrative expenses associated with the increased sales volume of our computer finance agency business. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. Our research and development expenses were insignificant for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997. AMORTIZATION OF GOODWILL. Goodwill amortization in the year ended December 31, 1998 was $59,000. There was no goodwill amortization charge in 1997. The total gross amount of intangible assets at December 31, 1998 was $6.9 million, which arose from the acquisitions of Saracen, ISL and Premier. INTEREST EXPENSE. Net interest expense was $2,000 for the year ended December 31, 1998. These charges were incurred as a result of financing our short-term debt and working capital needs. As of December 31, 1998 and 1997 we had no long-term debt, except for capital lease commitments. TAXES. Taxes on income increased to $189,000 for the year ended December 31, 1998 from $22,000 for the year ended December 31, 1997. The effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 1998 was 22.7%, as compared to 33% for 1997. The effective tax rate is lower than the statutory rate because we take advantage of the special 10% tax rate applicable to some companies operating in Ireland. NET INCOME. Our net income was $640,000 for the year ended December 31, 1998, or $0.20 per diluted share, as compared to $45,000, or $0.19 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 1997. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Our principal capital requirements to date have been to fund: - acquisitions - working capital needs - research and development - sales and marketing - capital expenditures We have met our liquidity needs over the past three years through funds provided by operating activities, private equity placements, short-term borrowings and capital leases. Net cash provided by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 1999 was $3.0 million, compared to net cash used for operating activities of $59,000 for the year ended December 31, 1998 and $1.4 million for the year ended December 31, 1997. The cash provided by operations in 1999 arose as a result of accounts payable increases associated with the acquisition of Jyris completed in late 1999. Our accounts receivable at December 31, 1999 were $11.3 million, compared to $4.2 million at December 31, 1998, representing an increase of $7.1 million. This reflects the significant growth we experienced during this period and our acquisition of businesses with high levels of accounts receivable. As of December 31, 1999, our receivables accounted for 84 days of average revenues as compared with 148 days in 1998. This reduction is attributable to benefits that companies we acquired have realized from efficiencies in our receivables collection process. We had provisions for doubtful debts of $808,000 at December 31, 1999 and of $463,000 at December 31, 1998. Due to our growth, we do not consider the historical write-off of receivables to be 28 33 indicative of future trends. We review the adequacy of our doubtful debt provision based on a review of the aged receivables. We believe that the provision of $808,000 is adequate to cover the receivables balance at December 31, 1999. Net cash used in investing activities for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997 were $4.2 million, $1.8 million and $13,000, respectively. Of these amounts, cash used in the acquisition of businesses, net of cash acquired, amounted to $3.6 million in 1999, $1.8 million in 1998 and none in 1997. In 1999, $1.3 million was received from the sale proceeds of two non-core businesses. Net cash flows from financing activities for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998 were $2.2 million and $2.9 million, respectively. In 1999 and 1998, proceeds from the sale of our common stock amounted to $1.6 million and $2.8 million. In 1999, we retired two short-term loans made to us by one of our directors, in an aggregate amount of $1.0 million. This same director made an additional short-term loan of $1.3 million to us in 1999, which we repaid in 2000. We incurred no such borrowings in 1998. Bank overdraft facilities were increased in 1999 by $433,000, in 1998 by $126,000 and in 1997 by $13,000. Our financing activities include equity offerings and borrowings. In February 2000, we entered into an agreement for a L4.0 million revolving credit facility from Barclays Bank plc, which will bear interest at an annual rate of 1.75% over the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR). We have drawn down L1.1 million from this facility and the balance may be used only to finance future acquisitions. We have also entered into an agreement for a L1.0 million working capital facility from Barclays, which will bear interest at an annual rate of 1.75% over LIBOR. We believe that we will be able to fund our future short-term cash needs through cash from operations and these two credit facilities. The credit facilities are secured by a lien on substantially all of our assets and contain covenants that restrict, among other things, our ability to borrow, acquire businesses, guarantee debts of others and lend funds to affiliated companies. We intend to continue to fund our acquisition strategy and the promotion of our new web-enabled, enterprise-wide applications software through cash from operations, our credit facilities and other financing arrangements that we deem appropriate. We believe that our anticipated cash flows from operations, together with our credit facilities and the net proceeds of the offering described in this prospectus, will provide us with sufficient liquidity to meet our currently foreseeable cash needs for at least the next two years. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS SFAS No.133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" requires companies to record derivatives on the balance sheet as assets or liabilities, measured at fair market value. Gains or losses resulting from changes in the values of those derivatives are accounted for depending on the use of the derivative and whether it qualifies for hedge accounting. The key criterion for hedge accounting is that the hedging relationship must be highly effective in achieving offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows. SFAS No.133 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. We believe that the adoption of SFAS No.133 will have no material effect on our financial statements. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE RATES. All of our business is transacted in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Our functional currency is the British pound and the functional currencies of our non-U.K. subsidiaries are their local currencies. As a result, we are subject to exposure from movements in foreign currency exchange rates, specifically the U.S. dollar/British pound, the U.S. dollar/Irish pound and the British pound/Irish pound exchange rates. We do not use derivative financial instruments for speculative trading purposes, nor do we hedge our foreign currency exposure to manage our foreign currency fluctuation risk. INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY. We do not believe that we currently have any material exposure to any market risks related to interest rate sensitivity. 29 34 BUSINESS OVERVIEW We are a Dublin-based software company that develops, markets, implements and supports web-enabled, enterprise-wide software applications for smaller to mid-sized organizations in the distribution and contracting industries. Our products enable organizations to optimize the efficiency of internal and external information flow by integrating business-to-business modules with mission-critical, enterprise-wide software applications. These applications include core accounting functions as well as key, industry-specific functionality. The modular design of our products enables us to provide customers with cost-effective, tailored solutions that can be easily implemented and integrated with existing business systems. We conduct our operations primarily in the United Kingdom, Ireland and South Africa, where we currently have approximately 3,800 customers under contract using software applications. INDUSTRY BACKGROUND Businesses of all sizes recognize the value of information and the need to distribute information across their respective enterprises to improve their competitive positions and better serve their customers. Mission-critical systems from core accounting functions through sales and marketing, order processing, inventory control and human resources must be capable of generating and disseminating critical information quickly and efficiently. Enterprise-wide software applications are designed to help a business manage and execute its mission-critical operations, as well as enable it to respond rapidly to changing market environments and customer needs. The flexibility currently demanded by enterprise users as a result of the rapid expansion of local and wide area networks, distributed computing, and a greater investment in critical systems, is creating increasing demand for high-quality, flexible, enterprise-wide software applications. Historically, organizations' information systems were based on proprietary mainframe and mini computers that focused on security, scalability, and performance but offered limited flexibility. The inflexible nature of these systems has created an opportunity for web-enabled, enterprise-wide software applications. This opportunity has driven the trend toward more flexible, open systems. Key developments of this trend include: Migration from inflexible legacy systems. Organizations relying on legacy systems are now evaluating flexible, user-friendly, enterprise-wide platforms that address their mission-critical system requirements, including networking and e-business. Increasing dependence on outsourced software. We believe that businesses are increasingly outsourcing their requirements for enterprise-wide software applications principally because of the increased complexity and expense of in-house development. Increasing demand for web-enabled software applications. Organizations of all sizes are seeking Internet and electronic commerce technologies that can extend the availability of information to employees across their enterprises and allow them to interact with customers and suppliers through the Internet. According to Forrester Research, an independent market research firm, global license revenues from packaged applications are expected to grow from $14 billion in 1998 to over $41 billion by 2003, representing a compounded annual growth rate of 24%. The non-U.S. portion of this market is projected to grow even faster from $6 billion to over $20 billion over the same period, representing a compounded annual growth rate of approximately 27%. Organizations with revenues greater than $1 billion were the first to adopt flexible enterprise-wide applications. Several large vendors like PeopleSoft and SAP have historically targeted and dominated this large market. Although these solutions have undergone significant evolution since their introduction, they remain very expensive and require significant resources because they involve lengthy implementation cycles 30 35 and can demand substantial customization. Accordingly, the solutions provided by these large vendors are not appropriate for smaller to mid-sized organizations. OUR MARKET We target the market for web-enabled, enterprise-wide software applications for smaller to mid-sized organizations. Because this market has been under-served by vendors who traditionally target large organizations, we believe that this market will generate a significant portion of the growth in demand for enterprise-wide software applications. In addition, we believe that smaller to mid-sized organizations have a number of key business requirements that differ from those of large organizations, including: Cost effectiveness and ease of use. Smaller to mid-sized organizations generally have fewer information technology resources. They require cost-effective solutions from vendors that can provide the essential assistance needed during the implementation process, as well as ongoing support and service. They also require systems that can be rapidly implemented and are easy to learn, use and modify. Flexibility and scalability. As they grow, smaller to mid-sized organizations require business software applications that are modular and configurable to meet their evolving business needs. Integrated e-business solutions. Because smaller to mid-sized organizations generally have fewer internal resources available to address their Internet and electronic commerce requirements, they increasingly rely on their enterprise software vendors for applications that address these needs and easily integrate with their existing business systems. We believe that there is a substantial and growing market for flexible, web-enabled, enterprise-wide software applications. Great opportunity exists for smaller to mid-sized organizations to take advantage of the technological developments and efficiencies available to them because of the lower cost of ownership of these applications. In addition, the faster implementation and integration of these applications minimizes the costs and business disruptions normally associated with changing mission-critical software systems. THE INTEGRITY SOLUTION Our web-enabled, enterprise-wide software applications address the information requirements of our customers. Our solutions provide the following benefits: OUR PRODUCTS OFFER EASE OF MIGRATION FROM LEGACY SYSTEMS. Many organizations in our target markets have made substantial investments in mission-critical software applications. These applications are often legacy products that do not incorporate the latest technologies such as web-enabling functions. Many of these organizations are evaluating their system requirements in light of their need to address these new technologies. We believe we offer our current and potential customers utilizing legacy products the most cost-effective, mission-critical software for them to purchase and implement. Our new products are designed to access and convert legacy data and, as a result, they can be implemented more quickly and less expensively. Additionally, because of our products' modular design, customers need only purchase those modules that they require. OUR WEB-ENABLED SOLUTIONS ARE DESIGNED TO MEET OUR CUSTOMERS' NEEDS. Using Quikbild, our web-enabling technology, we satisfy our customers' requirements for integrated commercial web applications. Quikbild delivers the following benefits: - online transaction processing integrated with back office and customer relationship management systems - fast development of tailored applications - creation of front-end interfaces, intranets and industry portals 31 36 Because our clients operate in dynamic, competitive industries, they must react quickly to their customers' needs. Using our web products, our customers can offer a fully functioning commercial interface that provides a competitive advantage through faster processing, more reliable information, better services and reduced operating costs. WE OFFER COMPREHENSIVE SERVICE AND SUPPORT. We believe that high-quality customer service and support are critical to our success. We believe the key to high-quality service and support is well-motivated, highly trained personnel, constantly attuned to customer needs. To meet those needs, we have made significant investments to develop a comprehensive service and support organization throughout our areas of operation. We provide ongoing training for our service and support staff and organize user groups of our customers to encourage feedback about our products and services in order to enhance our customers' satisfaction. We expect to provide an increasing level of support as our products are deployed across a wider range of customers and locations and become increasingly sophisticated, incorporating web-based functionalities. OUR PRODUCTS ALLOW OPEN SYSTEM INTEGRATION. Our products are designed around open system architecture to offer customers fully integrated web-enabled, enterprise-wide applications which allow interoperability with most platforms, including Unix, Windows, Novell and Linux. Because we utilize Open Database Connectivity standards in our products, data can be accessed through Oracle, Progress, SQL server, Informix and other databases and the data can be easily retrieved by external programs. STRATEGY Our primary business objective is to be the leading provider of mission-critical, web-enabled, enterprise-wide software applications to our target markets. Key elements of our strategy include: FOCUS OUR RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT ON NEW WEB-ENABLED, MISSION-CRITICAL SOFTWARE PRODUCTS. Utilizing Quikbild, our web-enabling technology, we are focusing a significant portion of our research and development resources towards the goal of creating a software product which addresses the mission-critical needs of smaller to mid-sized organizations. In particular, it is our intent to create a modular suite of web-based software products which can be tailored to a specific client's needs across any number of vertical markets. ACCELERATE GROWTH AND ACHIEVE ECONOMIES OF SCALE THROUGH STRATEGIC ACQUISITIONS. We believe we have a successful record of growing our company by acquiring complementary businesses. From August 1998 to December 1999 we completed eight strategic acquisitions. We plan to continue our consolidation of overlapping functions and elimination of redundant costs from our acquired businesses. We will continue to focus on acquiring businesses that provide us with one or more of the following strategic benefits: - new products or technologies - larger customer base - expansion into new geographic markets - expansion into new vertical markets - key personnel - economies of scale We believe that our experience in identifying, structuring, completing and integrating acquisitions will enable us to effectively capitalize on opportunities to use acquisitions as a vehicle for future growth. We believe that, through the further integration and consolidation of our operations, we will achieve significant additional savings in our general and administrative expenses. 32 37 LEVERAGE OUR EXISTING LEGACY CUSTOMER BASE BY SELLING OUR NEW PRODUCTS. We have contracts with approximately 3,800 customers relying on legacy mission-critical software products. We believe there is significant opportunity to migrate these customers to our next-generation software products which offer enterprise-wide applications that are web-enabled, cost-effective and integrate with customers' existing platforms. To that end, we have put in place a new company-wide sales initiative to aggressively target legacy users in order to migrate them to our next-generation products. This initiative involves both customer and sales force incentives. EXPAND OUR VALUE ADDED RESELLER CHANNEL. Through our CFS business area, we have developed close relationships with a significant number of VARs. We are currently evaluating these relationships in order to identify the most technically competent VARs to market and sell our software products to their customers. We intend to further leverage our existing relationships with VARs with the goal of creating an efficient way of marketing and selling our software products to their customer bases. We believe that the accelerated development of this VAR channel would improve our competitive position and lead to greater market penetration of our products. FURTHER PENETRATE OUR TARGET MARKETS. We believe there are substantial opportunities to increase our presence and expand our customer base in the distribution and contracting markets. We plan to apply our expertise in these markets to take advantage of common functionalities across these industries, enabling us to efficiently and quickly meet our customers' unique industry requirements. ENHANCE OUR SERVICE AND SUPPORT FUNCTIONS. In order to cultivate and strengthen long-term relationships with our customers, we plan to continue to invest in the enhancement of our service and support functions. We are currently consolidating our customer support functions throughout our areas of operation and plan to use the resulting cost savings to increase the number and quality of our service and support personnel. We believe these actions will allow us to continue to provide high-quality service and support, which is essential to the successful marketing and sale of our products. OUR BUSINESS We have four integrated business areas: business-to-business, or B2B; software; general accounting and technical services, or GATS; and computer finance services, or CFS.

We believe that our customers can realize several benefits by interacting with their customers through this medium, including: - faster transaction processing - lower operating costs - better information and access to information - better customer service Our development efforts are particularly focused on modules that can be easily integrated with our Vision, Evolution and legacy products by individual functions, offering a seamless transition for customers to a web-based environment. We believe there is significant demand among our approximately 3,800 customers that currently use legacy products. In addition, the opportunity exists to exploit the developing VAR channel to gain access to their end-users. PRODUCTS Our Quikbild development technology allows us to produce web-enabling modules that we sell as a tailored solution to customers through our direct sales force and our VARs. Each of these modules is designed to perform a specific function and can be integrated into our customers' existing software and combined with other Quikbild modules to meet each customer's unique requirements. Quikbild modules require little technical expertise for our customers to use, manage and maintain. Quikbild uses a common source code to develop modules, which are reused repeatedly and tailored for each customer's specific needs. We believe this will enable us to produce high-quality, scalable products with substantially reduced implementation and maintenance costs. Our currently available Quikbild modules include: Order Management Module. This module allows users to offer their customers direct access through the web for the ordering of products, account inquiries and order processing 7 days a week, 24 hours a day, saving time and money for both parties to the transactions. E-commerce Module. This module allows businesses to conduct transactions directly with customers over the Internet. It provides for online catalog functionality and order taking with the ability to take credit card details via the web site and to allow online bank clearance and settlement. Web Site Administration. This module enables our customers to automatically update the contents of their web sites, incorporate the latest news headlines (scrolling or static) and issue special bulletins displayed as text in the news flash area. This allows customers to develop, modify and maintain their web sites on a real-time basis. In addition, this module includes a site search engine to locate content based on a variety of categories. We believe there is significant demand for our web-based solutions, because, in addition to providing a high-quality, scalable product, they are also competitively priced. The initial licensing fee for our introductory modules starts at approximately $40,000, and the price of the solution increases in proportion to the level of sophistication required. Our most sophisticated solutions include e-commerce and order management modules which integrate front-end user interfaces with back-end core enterprise software. In keeping with our pricing policy, we generate recurring revenues from the licensing of our Quikbild modules. Typically, annual licensing fees amount to approximately 20% of the initial licensing fee. 34 39 SOFTWARE BUSINESS OVERVIEW Our software business area focuses on developing solutions to meet the needs of our customers for enterprise-wide, integrated applications that are reliable and can address the needs of our customers' particular industries. Our software business serves approximately 300 customers in the distribution industry and approximately 700 customers in the contracting market. In addition, approximately 2,500 distribution industry customers and 300 contracting industry customers of our GATS business are currently utilizing legacy products. We are seeking to migrate these customers from legacy products to our next-generation distribution and contracting software products. We believe the combination of functionality and price of our software products are their key selling points and allow us to target companies in our chosen markets. PRODUCTS Distribution Industry Our distribution software is Legerdemain, which is an enterprise-wide application that is being enhanced with Internet communication protocols to take advantage of our B2B order management module. We believe this product offers significant advantages over many legacy systems currently being employed by distribution customers in our GATS division as well as potential customers who are using similar legacy systems. We are currently developing and testing a next-generation Windows-based software suite, called Vision, that will offer the same functionalities as Legerdemain and will use the same web-enabled B2B technology already under development. We expect to launch Vision during the second quarter 2000. Our distribution software is built on our proprietary accounting platform and provides the components necessary to fulfill core accounting as well as industry-specific functions. Specific advantages of our distribution software include: Order management solutions. Our software provides real-time sales and inventory management for distributors, wholesalers and manufacturers in demanding supply chain environments. Stock control management. Our software maintains a detailed description of all items inventoried in the distributor's stockroom, including location, quantity and all information related to fulfillment. Electronic links to wholesalers and manufacturers. Our software allows all communications between distributors and their customers to take place through dedicated networks or through the Internet. Telesales management. Our software offers a comprehensive solution for businesses that need the ability to take customer orders over the phone by giving operators instant access to full online account details, including sales history, discounts, special deals, promotions and pricing. Contracting Industry Our current software product, Evolution, is the next-generation of our Foundation product, specifically designed for the contracting market. Evolution was released in September 1999, and our developers are currently creating Internet communication protocols for this product. Our contracting software is built on our proprietary accounting platform and provides the components necessary to fulfill core accounting, as well as industry-specific functions. Specific advantages of our Evolution product include: Project costing solutions. Our software delivers detailed cost estimate analysis that allows the user to record and evaluate the costs of each job. Sub-contractors management. Our software allows the process of measuring and paying sub-contractors to be completed without duplication of entries. The module can be fully integrated into our project costing module. 35 40 Contractors payroll management. Our software allows control of up to 10,000 employees and the calculation of tax and insurance for the appropriate region. The module can be fully integrated into our project costing module. Initial license fees for our contracting and distribution software starts at approximately $20,000 and can cost as much as $150,000 depending on the level of sophistication and the number of modules employed. Typically, annual licensing fees amount to approximately 20% of the initial fee. GENERAL ACCOUNTING AND TECHNICAL SERVICES OVERVIEW Our GATS business area, currently the largest in our company, supplies legacy applications and turnkey business solutions to a broad base of customers. Businesses in the general accounting market are increasingly seeking enterprise-wide software applications and we anticipate that they will be shifting from legacy systems to more sophisticated, enterprise-wide software applications. We expect that many of our GATS customers will migrate to our Vision and Evolution products. We will also continue to maintain our customers' legacy systems, offer these customers our other products which offer enterprise-wide solutions for their businesses, and where appropriate, seek new customers for these systems. We provide professional services for our customers through our GATS division to fulfill their networking and information technology needs. PRODUCTS AND SERVICES Our GATS software provides the components necessary to fulfill core accounting as well as industry specific functions: We license these software programs under the brand names Multisoft, Quest, Premier, Datasoft and Saracen. The software programs vary in their complexity and sophistication from the most basic core accounting programs (Quest) to more advanced products that offer greater functionality (Multisoft). Unlike Quest, Premier, Datasoft, and Saracen, which are our proprietary products, we license Multisoft from the Sage Group plc. under agreements giving us the right to sell Multisoft in the United Kingdom and South Africa. In the United Kingdom, we have exclusive distribution rights through March 2003 to market and sell Multisoft to approximately 1,800 Multisoft users, of which approximately 800 currently are under maintenance and support contracts with us. Under this agreement, we pay Sage a royalty based on 40% of product sales, and 30% of recurring revenues. In South Africa, we have the exclusive right through 2002 to market and sell Multisoft, for which we pay Sage a nominal monthly fee. In addition, we have extensive experience in and knowledge of fiber optic communication, mass data storage solutions, operating environments (Unix, Windows NT, Novell, Linux, DOS), communications protocols, fault tolerant system design, secure Internet service provider (ISP) and hardware engineering. Our GATS software products range in price from $2,000 to $120,000, depending on the level of sophistication and complexity of the product. COMPUTER FINANCE SERVICES Our CFS business acts as an agent for the delivery of lease and rental plans over one to five years to commercial organizations in the United Kingdom and Ireland. Financial institutions such as GE Capital and Schroeders underwrite all lease and rental plans. These institutions pay us a commission based on the total transaction size. As agent, we do not assume any of the credit risk for these leases. Our CFS business works through VARs in the United Kingdom and Ireland who distribute hardware and software solutions to end-users. Through our agency agreement with Compaq Capital Finance, we have access to a significant number of VARs. Our primary focus in our CFS business is to use the relationships that we have already developed with key contacts in the VARs' sales forces in order to cultivate these VARs as an additional distribution channel for our own software products. We have formed 36 41 a special sales and marketing team that is focused on promoting sales of our software products and services through this VAR channel. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT Research and development continues to be a key focus for our company. We have two major enterprise-wide applications whose development is complete or entering the final stages prior to product launch: Vision and Evolution. We are continually designing new generations of software applications to provide improved performance and enhanced functionality to our customers. We also have numerous web-based applications at various stages of development focused on addressing our customers' unique needs. We believe our software engineers to be of the highest competence, and they have proven their ability to deliver technically advanced, intuitive, user-friendly software. We have integrated and consolidated our research and development departments in the United Kingdom and Ireland to focus on our new product offerings. CUSTOMER SERVICE AND SUPPORT We provide service and support to our customers to promote rapid and efficient implementation and reliable, ongoing management of our products. In addition, we periodically sell services on a stand-alone basis. This may lead to future product sales by establishing and maintaining customer relationships. Our service and support offerings include: Project management. This service is designed to deliver to the customer their expectations in a timely and cost effective manner. Consulting and training. We consult on system evaluations, design, programming, and implementation and offer extensive training in the use of our products. Problem solving and hot line access. Once the installation and training is complete, customers receive ongoing support through our 24-hour help desk. On-site support is available when appropriate. Infrastructure support. Our technical service teams are trained to implement and support all areas of the computer infrastructure, including fiber optic communication, mass data storage solutions, operating environments (Unix, Windows NT, Novell, Linux, DOS), communications protocols, fault tolerant system design, secure ISP and hardware engineering. IT strategy. Our customers rely on us to advise them on the ever-changing landscape of information technology. Network management services. Our managed services allow us to remotely monitor our customers' networks and conduct preventive maintenance and fast diagnostics, resulting in greater network reliability and availability. This is particularly important to our customers interested in using e-commerce based applications. SALES AND MARKETING We market our products primarily through a direct sales force organized around our target markets, enabling us to address the specialized needs of our customers in each of these markets. As of March 20, 2000, our direct sales force consisted of 90 sales representatives. Telemarketing augments our direct sales effort where appropriate. To supplement the efforts of our direct sales organization, we also sell our products through marketing and distribution arrangements with VARs. As of March 20, 2000, we had entered into agreements with approximately 20 VARs who are selling our products. We intend to further leverage our existing relationships with VARs with the goal of creating an efficient way of marketing and selling our software products to their customer base. 37 42 Our sales cycles for our products vary across each target market, typically ranging from one to four months. For some of our more sophisticated applications, the sales cycle can be up to 12 months. Our sales cycles depend on many factors, including the size of the customer's organization, the number of individuals involved in the purchasing decision, the status of a customer's hardware system, and the degree of implementation, consulting and training required. Our marketing is targeted at existing and new customers in order to position our company and our products in the forefront of the buying customer's mind. We achieve this through interaction between our customers and all our staff, industry specific advertising and exhibitions, direct mailing and targeting industry associations. We produce marketing literature covering both corporate and product information. CUSTOMERS We have approximately 3,800 customers who license products that generate recurring revenues. No single customer accounted for more than 5% of our total revenues in 1999. In addition, we are a major agent of lease and rental finance in the U.K. market and have provided our agency leasing services to over 7,000 customers with existing leases, financed predominantly by GE Capital and Schroeder. COMPETITION The web-enabled, enterprise-wide software applications market is intensely competitive and rapidly changing. The competition that we encounter varies across and within each vertical market depending upon, among other things, the customer's size and specific system requirements. There are many factors that affect competition in the software applications market, including a vendor's responsiveness to customer needs and the quality of customer support as well as a product's architecture, functionality, speed of implementation, ease of integration, performance, features, reliability, breadth of distribution and price. Our principal competitors in the software market for the distribution industry as well as for GATS are Sage, Great Plains and Pegasus Software. In the software market for the contracting industry, our main competitors are Red Sky Software, CSB/Coins and Mentor. Our competitors in the B2B market are essentially the same competitors that we face in the contracting and distribution software markets. Our CFS business competes with others in the industry based primarily upon price. Our main competitor in this business area is System Finance. PROPRIETARY RIGHTS AND LICENSING Our business is dependent upon our proprietary technology and other intellectual property. We have not registered any copyrights nor received or applied for any patents for our products, technologies or other intellectual property. We typically enter into license arrangements with our customers that grant them a nonexclusive license to use our software products. Our license agreements generally allow the use of our software solely by the customer for internal purposes without the right to sublicense or transfer the software to third parties. Licenses usually are annual, but subject to termination for breach or on notice, and contain confidentiality and nondisclosure provisions, a limited warranty covering the software, and indemnification for the customer from any infringement action related to the software. We have in the past and may in the future resell some software products that we license from third parties. EMPLOYEES As of March 20, 2000 we had 393 full-time employees. Of that number, 306 are based in our offices in the United Kingdom, 67 are based in Ireland, and 20 are based in South Africa. We have 90 employees in our sales force and 50 in research and development. None of our employees are party to a collective bargaining agreement, and we have never experienced a work stoppage. We consider our relationship with our employees to be good and have not experienced any interruptions of operations due to labor disagreements. 38 43 PROPERTIES We lease various facilities in the United Kingdom, Ireland and South Africa which house our administrative, sales and marketing, service and support and research and development functions.

The purposes of our stock option plan are to attract and retain the best available personnel for positions of substantial responsibility, to provide additional incentive to our employees and to promote the success of our business. At the request of the Board of Directors, the Compensation Committee administers our stock option plan and determines the optionees and the terms of options granted, including the exercise price, number of shares subject to the option and the exercisability thereof. 42 47 The term of options granted under the 2000 stock option plan is stated in the relevant option agreement but may not exceed 10 years. Options granted under the 2000 stock option plan vest and become exercisable as set forth in each option agreement. The 2000 stock option plan will terminate in March 2010, unless our Board of Directors terminates it sooner. Over the 10-year life of the plan, we may not grant any person options to purchase more than 500,000 shares. As of the date of this prospectus, we had no outstanding options to purchase shares of common stock under the 2000 stock option plan, and the reserved 1,650,000 authorized shares remain available for future option grants. EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS We have employment agreements with each of the executive officers listed in the summary compensation table above. Peter D. Nagle, our Chief Executive Officer, entered into an employment agreement with us on December 7, 1999. Under the agreement, Mr. Nagle will be employed for a period of one year from the date of the agreement, at an annual salary of L150,000. Mr. Nagle is also entitled to an annual bonus and use of a vehicle. The agreement contains non-compete provisions prohibiting Mr. Nagle from competing with us during the term of employment and for nine months following the term. Paul C. Carroll, our Chief Financial Officer, entered into an employment agreement with us on July 15, 1998. Under the agreement, Mr. Carroll will be employed for a period of three years from the date of the agreement, at an annual salary of L70,000 subject to an annual review and adjustment of his salary at our discretion. Mr. Carroll is also entitled to an annual bonus and use of a vehicle. The agreement contains non-compete provisions prohibiting Mr. Carroll from competing with us during the term of employment and for nine months following the term. Paul B. Nagle, our Chief Operations Officer, entered into an employment agreement with us on April 1, 1999. Under the agreement, Mr. Nagle will be employed for a period of three years from the date of the agreement, at an annual salary of L75,000 subject to an annual review and adjustment of his salary at our discretion. Mr. Nagle is also entitled to an annual bonus and use of a vehicle. The agreement contains non-compete provisions prohibiting Mr. Nagle from competing with us during the term of employment and for nine months following the term. Each of these agreements contains confidentiality restrictions, as well as provisions recognizing that we own all intellectual property rights to any software that the named executive officer may work on during the term of his employment agreement. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION MATTERS We have adopted provisions in our Certificate of Incorporation that limit the liability of our directors for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duty as directors, except for liability that cannot be eliminated under the Delaware General Corporation Law (DGCL). In addition, we have taken out directors and officers insurance with a maximum coverage of $5 million per claim. The DGCL provides that directors of a company will not be personally liable for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duty as directors, except for liability (i) for any breach of their duty of loyalty to the company or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) that arises under Section 174 of the DGCL for unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. Our Certificate of Incorporation and bylaws also provide for indemnification of our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL. We intend to enter into separate indemnification agreements with our directors and some of our officers that could 43 48 require us, among other things, to indemnify these persons against liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or officers and to advance their expenses as a result of any proceeding against them as to which they could be indemnified. We believe that the limitation of liability provision in our Certificate of Incorporation and the indemnification agreements will facilitate our ability to continue to attract and retain qualified individuals to serve as directors and officers. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the registrant has been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is therefore unenforceable. 44 49 PRINCIPAL AND SELLING STOCKHOLDERS The following table sets forth information regarding beneficial ownership of our common stock as of March 20, 2000, based on an aggregate of 13,957,808 shares outstanding as of that date, and as adjusted to reflect this offering, by: - each person (or group of affiliated persons) who is known by us to beneficially own five percent or more of the outstanding shares of our common stock - each of our directors and executive officers - all of our directors and executive officers as a group - each selling stockholder Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and generally includes voting and/or investment power with respect to securities. Unless otherwise noted, we believe that all persons named in the table have sole voting and sole investment power with respect to all shares shown as beneficially owned by them. Shares of common stock subject to options currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of March 20, 2000 are deemed outstanding for purposes of computing the percentage beneficially owned by the person holding options but are not deemed outstanding for purposes of computing the percentages beneficially owned by any other person.

In order to make the acquisition, Integrity Software issued 6,365,064 shares of common stock, and exchanged them for all of the outstanding shares of Jyris Limited stock. Peter D. Nagle, one of our directors, was chief executive officer and a stockholder of Jyris Limited. The stockholders of Jyris Limited that exchanged shares included Peter D. Nagle, who received one share of our common stock, and Mary J. Higgins, Peter D. Nagle's sister, who received 160,000 shares of our common stock. In addition, Bushell Investments, Inc., a company established by a trust set up by Mary J. Higgins of which Peter D. Nagle may be deemed to be a beneficial owner, exchanged shares of Jyris Limited for 2,796,386 shares of our common stock in the transaction. As part of the Jyris acquisition, Peter D. Nagle replaced his brother, Paul B. Nagle, as Chief Executive Officer of Integrity Software, and Paul B. Nagle became Chief Operations Officer of Integrity Software. On January 1, 1999, prior to its acquisition by Integrity, Jyris Limited issued 1,536,000 shares of Jyris Limited to Kielduff Investments Limited to acquire all outstanding shares in Ibis Systems, Ltd. Peter D. Nagle, director of Jyris Limited at the time of the transaction, was director of Ibis Systems. In addition, on November 30, 1999, also prior to its acquisition by Integrity, Jyris Limited acquired Multisoft SA, organized in South Africa. Mark B. Nagle, a brother of Peter D. Nagle, the then director of Jyris Limited and the current Chief Executive Officer of Integrity, and Paul B. Nagle, the current Chief Operations Officer of Integrity, was and remains the managing director of Multisoft. Mark Nagle was not a shareholder of Multisoft, but he held, and continues to hold, 15,320 shares of our common stock. In December 1999, Paul B. Nagle, one of our directors, granted a short-term loan with an interest rate of 9.5% for a total of $1,284,640 to Integrity, for the purpose of making acquisitions. The loan was repaid in full in February 2000 when we entered into a revolving credit facility with Barclays Bank. In 1999, Paul B. Nagle made two additional short-term loans to us in the aggregate amount of $1.0 million, both of which were repaid by us in 1999. The interest rate on these loans was 9.5%. In July 1998, we granted stock options, for a total of 2,511,800 shares of common stock, to the then current owners of Integrity, at an exercise price of $2.50 per share. These stock options were granted to, among others: Kenneth F. Butler, a director of Integrity; Paul C. Carroll, Chief Financial Officer of Integrity, and Caldwell Limited, a company beneficially owned by Patrick G. Nagle and Paul B. Nagle. Paul B. Nagle is Chief Operations Officer of Integrity. Patrick G. Nagle is the brother of Paul and Peter Nagle. All of these options have been exercised. At the time the options were exercised, the grantees paid an amount equal to the par value of the shares, and the remainder of the consideration must be paid to us by December 31, 2000. 46 51 DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK The following statements summarize several provisions of our certificate of incorporation and by-laws and Delaware law. These summaries do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the certificate of incorporation and by-laws which have been filed as exhibits to this registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part, and to the provisions of applicable law. GENERAL As of the date of this prospectus, we are authorized to issue 40,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $.0025 per share. COMMON STOCK As of March 22, 2000, there were 13,957,808 shares of our common stock outstanding. Upon completion of this offering, we will have 16,957,808 shares (17,197,808 shares if the underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised in full) of common stock issued and outstanding. AUTHORIZED BUT UNISSUED CAPITAL STOCK We estimate that following this offering we will have 23,042,192 (or 22,802,192 if the underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised in full) shares of authorized but unissued stock. Delaware law does not require stockholder approval for the issuance of authorized shares. However, the listing requirements of the Nasdaq National Market, which apply so long as the common stock remains included in that inter-dealer quotation system, require prior stockholder approval of specific issuances, including issuances of shares bearing voting power equal to or exceeding 20% of the pre-issuance outstanding voting power or pre-issuance outstanding number of shares of common stock. These additional shares could be used for a variety of corporate purposes, including future public offerings to raise additional capital or to facilitate corporate acquisitions. We currently do not have any plans to issue additional shares of common stock other than in connection with employee stock option plans. One of the effects of the existence of issued and unreserved common stock may be to enable the Board to issue shares to persons who may agree or be inclined to vote in concert with current management on issues put to consideration of stockholders, which issuance could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise, and protect the continuity of our management and possibly deprive the stockholders of the opportunity to sell their shares of common stock at prices higher than prevailing market prices. VOTING The holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote for each share on all matters to be voted on by stockholders. Our certificate of incorporation does not provide for cumulative voting in connection with the election of directors, and accordingly, holders of more than 50% of the shares voting will be able to elect all of the directors. DIVIDENDS Holders of shares of common stock are entitled to share ratably in dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by the Board of Directors in its discretion, from available funds. Upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of our affairs, the holders of shares of our common stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining after payment in full of creditors. All of the outstanding shares of common stock are, and the shares offered by us will be, fully paid and non- assessable. PREEMPTIVE RIGHTS Our common stock does not have preemptive rights. 47 52 SECTION 203 OF THE DELAWARE GENERAL CORPORATION LAW Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law could make the acquisition of Integrity Software and the removal of its officers and directors difficult. The statute is expected to discourage specific types of coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids and to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of Integrity Software to negotiate with it first. We believe that the benefits of increased protection of our potential ability to negotiate with the proponent of an unfriendly or unsolicited proposal to acquire or restructure Integrity Software outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging proposals, because, among other things, negotiation of proposals could result in an improvement in their terms. We are subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. In general, this statute prohibits a publicly-held Delaware corporation from engaging in a "business combination" with an "interested stockholder" for a period of three years after the date that the person became an interested stockholder unless (with some exceptions) the business combination the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder is approved in a prescribed manner. Generally, a "business combination" includes a merger, asset or stock sale, or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the stockholder. Generally, an "interested stockholder" is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns (or within three years prior, did own) 15% or more of the corporation's voting stock. These provisions may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change of control of us without further action by our stockholders. REGISTRATION RIGHTS In December 1999, we entered into a registration rights agreement with Kielduff Investments Limited. Kielduff is the holder of 1,536,000 shares of our common stock (approximately 11% of the outstanding shares), which it acquired in exchange for its shares in Jyris Limited. At any time after August 2000, Kielduff has the right to demand that we file a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to its shares, and we are required to use our best efforts to effect up to a maximum of three of these registrations. Kielduff is also entitled to demand that we register their shares under the Securities Act on Form S-3 or any similar short form registration statement then available to us, provided the aggregate offering price of the shares registered exceeds $500,000. We are not required to effect more than two demand registrations on Form S-3 in any calendar year. In addition, if, after August 2000, we propose to register any of our securities under the Securities Act, Kielduff is entitled to notice of the registration and is entitled to include its shares in the registration. These registration rights are subject to various conditions and limitations, including the right of the underwriters of an offering to limit the number of shares that may be included in the offering. In addition, Kielduff will be restricted from selling its shares until 180 days after the date of this prospectus. We are generally required to bear all of the expenses of these registrations, except underwriting discounts and selling commissions. Registration of any of Kielduff's shares will result in these shares becoming freely tradable without restriction under the Securities Act immediately upon the effectiveness of such registration. We have not entered into registration rights agreements with any other stockholders. TRANSFER AGENT AND REGISTRAR The Transfer Agent and Registrar for the shares is Interwest Transfer. 48 53 SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE RESALE Upon completion of the offering, we will have 16,957,808 shares of common stock outstanding, assuming no exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option and no exercise of outstanding options and based upon the number of shares outstanding as of March 22, 2000. Of these shares, the 3,000,000 shares sold in this offering and 275,480 shares issued prior to this offering will be freely tradable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act, unless such shares are purchased or held by our "affiliates," as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act. The remaining 13,682,328 shares held by existing stockholders, and any shares purchased by affiliates in this offering, will be "restricted securities" as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act. Our affiliates will hold 8,574,883 of the restricted shares. Restricted shares may be sold in the public market only if registered or if they qualify for an exemption from registration under Rule 144, 144(k) or 701 under the Securities Act, which are summarized below. Following August 2000, the holders of 1,536,000 shares of common stock, or their transferees, will be entitled to rights to require the registration of such shares under the Securities Act. Registration of such shares under the Securities Act would result in such shares becoming freely tradable without restriction under the Securities Act, except for shares purchased by our affiliates, immediately upon the effectiveness of such registration. Our officers, directors and stockholders holding approximately 10,797,617 shares of common stock will agree under written lock-up agreements not to, without the prior written consent of Needham & Company, Inc., sell any shares of common stock for 180 days after the date of this prospectus. See "Underwriting." In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, beginning 90 days after the date of this prospectus, stockholders who have beneficially owned restricted shares for at least one year will be entitled to sell in any three-month period a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of one percent of the then outstanding shares of our common stock or the average weekly trading volume of our common stock in the Nasdaq National Market during the four calendar weeks immediately preceding the date on which notice of the sale is filed with the SEC. Sales pursuant to Rule 144 are subject to certain requirements relating to manner of sale, notice and availability of current public information about Integrity. A person, or persons whose shares may be aggregated, who is not deemed to have been one of our affiliates at any time during the 90 days immediately preceding the sale and who has beneficially owned restricted shares for at least two years is entitled to sell such shares pursuant to Rule 144(k) without regard to the limitations described above. Any of our employees, directors or consultants who purchased, or was awarded shares or options to purchase shares pursuant to a written compensatory plan or contract is entitled to rely on the resale provisions of Rule 701 under the Securities Act, which permits stockholders to sell their Rule 701 shares without having to comply with Rule 144's holding period restrictions, in each case commencing 90 days after the date of this prospectus. In addition, holders who are not affiliates may sell Rule 701 shares without complying with the public information, volume and notice provisions of Rule 144. 49 54 UNDERWRITING Subject to the terms and conditions contained in an underwriting agreement dated , 2000, the underwriters named below, for whom Needham & Company, Inc. and A.G. Edwards & Sons, Inc. are acting as representatives, have severally agreed to purchase, and we and the selling stockholders have severally agreed to sell to them, an aggregate of shares of common stock. The number of common shares that each underwriter has agreed to purchase is set forth opposite its name below. NUMBER OF SHARES OF COMMON STOCK ---------------- Needham & Company, Inc................................. A.G. Edwards & Sons, Inc............................... ---------- Total............................................. 3,000,000 ========== The underwriters are offering the shares subject to their acceptance of the shares and subject to prior sale. The underwriting agreement provides that the obligations of the underwriters to purchase shares are subject to the approval of some legal matters by counsel and to some other conditions. If any of the shares are purchased by the underwriters pursuant to the underwriting agreement, all of the shares, other than the shares covered by the over-allotment option described below, must be purchased. The underwriters propose to offer the shares directly to the public at the public offering price set forth on the cover page of this prospectus and to dealers at that price less a concession not in excess of $ per share. The underwriters may allow, and any dealers may reallow, a concession not in excess of $ per share to other dealers. After the offering of the shares, the offering price and other selling terms may be changed from time to time by the underwriters. We and the selling stockholders have granted to the underwriters an option to purchase up to 450,000 additional shares of common stock on the same terms and conditions solely to cover over-allotments. We have agreed to sell up to 240,000 shares, and the selling stockholders have agreed to sell up to 210,000 shares. The option may be exercised during the 30-day period after the date of this prospectus. If the underwriters' option is exercised in full, the total price to the public would be $ , the total underwriting discounts and commissions would be $ , the total proceeds to us would be $ , before deducting $ in expenses and the total proceeds to the selling stockholders, before expenses, would be $ . We and the selling stockholders have agreed to indemnify the underwriters against specified liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, and to contribute to payments that the underwriters may be required to make in connection with liabilities. We, our officers, directors and certain stockholders (including all of the selling stockholders) holding an aggregate of 10,797,617 shares of common stock have agreed not to, without the prior written consent of Needham & Company, Inc., for a period of 180 days after the date of this prospectus: - offer, pledge, announce the intention to sell, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of common stock or any securities of Integrity Software which are substantially similar to the shares including but not limited to any securities that are convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for, or that represent the right to receive shares or any substantially similar securities - enter into any swap, option, future, forward or other agreement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of common stock or any securities substantially similar to the shares. We may, however, issue shares of common stock upon the exercise of stock options that are currently outstanding and may grant additional options under our stock option plans, provided that, without the prior 50 55 written consent of Needham & Company, Inc., additional options shall not be exercisable during a period of 180 days after the date of this prospectus. In connection with the offering, the underwriters may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of the shares. Specifically, the underwriters may overallot the offering, creating a syndicate short position. In addition, the underwriters may bid for and purchase shares of common stock in the open market to cover syndicate short positions or to stabilize the price of the shares. Finally, the underwriting syndicate may reclaim selling concessions allowed for distributing the shares in the offering, if the syndicate repurchases previously distributed shares in syndicate covering transactions, in stabilization transactions or otherwise. Any of these activities may stabilize or maintain the market price of the shares of common stock above independent market levels. The underwriters are not required to engage in these activities and may end any of these activities at any time. Prior to this offering, there has been only a limited public market for our common stock. A limited number of shares of our common stock trades over the counter and is quoted in the Pink Sheets. Due to the small number of our shares that trade publicly and the limited trading information available with respect to those shares, we and the underwriters believe that the pricing information reported in the Pink Sheets does not necessarily represent an accurate market valuation of our common stock. Accordingly, the public offering price for the shares of common stock offered in this offering will be determined by negotiation among us, the selling stockholders and the underwriters. In addition to the pricing information reported in the Pink Sheets, the other factors to be considered in determining the public offering price are our revenues and earnings, market valuations of other companies engaged in activities similar to ours, estimates of our business potential and prospects, the present state of our business operations, our management, the general condition of the securities markets at the time of the offering and other factors deemed relevant. The estimated public offering price range set forth in the cover of this preliminary prospectus is subject to change as a result of market conditions and other factors. We cannot assure you that an active trading market will develop for our common stock or that our common stock will trade in the public market at or above the public offering price. 51 56 WHERE YOU CAN FIND ADDITIONAL INFORMATION We have filed a Form S-1 registration statement with the Commission.

ENFORCEMENT OF CIVIL LIABILITIES Most of our directors and executives and all of the experts named in this prospectus reside in the United Kingdom or other countries other than the United States. All or a substantial portion of our assets and the assets of these persons are located outside the United States. As a result, it may not be possible for investors to effect service of process within the United States upon these persons or to enforce, in U.S. courts or outside the United States, judgements obtained against these persons in jurisdictions outside the United States.

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with US generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.

An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Integrity Software, Inc. and Subsidiaries at December 31, 1999 and 1998 and the results of its operations and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1999, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.

Additionally the statements of stockholders' equity reflect the accounts of Integrity Software, Inc. as if the additional common stock had been issued for all periods since Jyris's incorporation in November 1998. Jyris Limited was incorporated on November 25, 1998 as Hastvale Construction Limited. It changed its name to Jyris Limited on August 6, 1999. These financial statements have been drawn up on the basis that The Wyse Group plc is the predecessor entity of Integrity Software, Inc.

The Consolidated Balance Sheet as at December 31, 1999 and Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 1999 include the results of Integrity Software, Inc. and all of its wholly owned subsidiaries together with the consolidated results of Jyris Limited for the same period. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated. These financial statements have been prepared in conformity with US Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. 4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the company and all of its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation. Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Revenue Recognition Licence and systems sales Revenues arising from software installation contracts represent invoiced sales over the period of the contract. Revenue recognition is determined by contracts or at stages by customers. All installation contracts contain clearly defined benchmarks against which revenues are recognized. Revenues arising from the sale of hardware products represent invoiced sales during the period, net of valued added taxation and are recognized as the products are shipped. Deferred income arises when either a portion of a contract period, for which an invoice has been issued in advance, falls after the year end or where work invoiced has not been completed. Support and Maintenance Revenues arising from annual maintenance and support contracts are recognized over the period of the contract. Deferred income arises when either a portion of a contract period, for which an invoice has been issued in advance, falls after the year end or where work invoiced has not been completed. F-12 69 INTEGRITY SOFTWARE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) 4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES -- CONTINUED Services The group's subsidiaries which are engaged in computer finance services derive their revenues acting as an agent for the delivery of lease and rental plans with respect of hardware and software products. These revenues are entirely commission-based. These revenues are recognized on an earned basis when the lessee of equipment signs a contract with the finance provider. Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value using the first-in first-out (FIFO) convention. Tangible Fixed Assets Depreciation is provided straight-line at the following annual rates in order to write-off each asset over its estimated useful life: Helicopter................................................. Over life of lease Fixtures and Fittings...................................... 5 Years Office Equipment........................................... 5 Years Motor Vehicles............................................. 4 Years Computer Equipment......................................... 3 Years Improvements to premises................................... 5 Years The land and buildings are not depreciated as it is considered that the residual value and life of the property is such that the depreciation would be immaterial. Intangibles Intangibles represent acquisition costs in excess of the fair value of net tangible assets of businesses purchased. These costs are being amortized over ten years on a straight-line basis. Long-Lived Assets Long-lived assets, such as goodwill and property and equipment, are evaluated for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable through the estimated undiscounted future cash flow resulting from the use of these assets. When any such impairment exists, the related assets will be written down to fair value. No impairment losses have been incurred through December 31, 1999. Research and Development Research and Development costs are expensed as incurred. F-13 70 INTEGRITY SOFTWARE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) 4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES -- CONTINUED Income Taxes The company accounts for its income tax on the liability method, under which deferred taxes are determined based on the difference between the financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities, using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realised. Foreign Currency Translation The functional currencies of foreign subsidiaries are their local currencies, and accordingly, the assets and liabilities of these foreign subsidiaries are translated at the rate of exchange at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses have been translated at the average rate of exchange in effect during the periods. To date, Integrity has not entered into hedging transactions to protect against changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Other comprehensive income represents the translation difference arising when the assets and liabilities, of the company's foreign subsidiaries are translated from their functional currencies to US dollars. Stock-Based Compensation The company applies Accounting Principles Board Opinion ("APB") 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and related Interpretations in accounting for all stock option plans. Under APB 25, compensation cost is recognized for stock options granted at prices below market price of the underlying common stock on date of grant. SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock Based Compensation." requires Integrity to provide pro forma information regarding net income as if compensation cost for the stock options plans had been determined in accordance with the fair value method prescribed in SFAS No. 123. Comprehensive Income In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income", which establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances. Comprehensive income is defined to include all changes in equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distribution to owners. Among other disclosures, SFAS No. 130 requires that all items that are required to be recognized under current accounting standards as components of comprehensive income be reported in a financial statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements. The only item of comprehensive (loss)/income is foreign currency translation adjustments. Post Retirement Benefits In February 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 132, "Employers' Disclosure about Pensions and Other Post Retirement Benefits," which standardizes the disclosure requirements for Pensions and other post retirement benefits. The adoption of SFAS 132 did not have a material impact on Integrity's disclosures. Cost of Start-Up Activities Statement of Position (SOP) 98-5, "Reporting on the Cost of Start-Up Activities," requires that the costs of start-up activities, including organisation costs, be expensed as incurred. This statement was F-14 71 INTEGRITY SOFTWARE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) 4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES -- CONTINUED effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1998 and had no effect on the financial statements. Development of Computer Software In March 1998, The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) issued SOP 98-1, "Accounting for the Cost of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use". SOP 98-1 is effective for financial statements for years beginning after December 15, 1998. This statement provides guidance over accounting for computer software developed or obtained for internal use including the requirements to capitalize specified cost and amortization of such costs. The adoption of this standard does not have a material effect on these financial statements. Statement of Cash Flows For the purpose of the statements of cash flows, Integrity considers all highly liquid debt instruments and other short-term investments purchased with an initial maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Impact of recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" requires companies to record derivatives on the balance sheet as assets or liabilities, measured at fair market value. Gains or losses resulting from changes in the values of those derivatives are accounted for depending on the use of the derivative and whether it qualifies for hedge accounting. The key criterion for hedge accounting is that the hedging relationship must be highly effective in achieving offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows. SFAS No. 133 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. Management believes that the adoption of SFAS No. 133 will have no material effect on its financial statements. 5.

EARNINGS PER SHARE During 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 128, "Earning per Share", which provides for the calculation of "basic" and "diluted" earnings per share. Basic earnings per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect, in periods in which they have a dilutive effect, the effect of common shares issuable upon exercise of common stock options. F-24 81 INTEGRITY SOFTWARE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) The following table sets forth the computation for basic and diluted earnings per share.

The acquisitions completed in 1999 included above have been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. The merger with Jyris has been accounted for under the pooling of interests method of accounting and its operations have been reflected in the restated financial statements of Integrity for the year ended December 31, 1999. The financial statements of the companies acquired (all of which are foreign companies) and included in the Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Information were translated at the following exchange rates: British pound Sterling were translated to US dollars at the rate of 1.6178; Irish pounds were translated to US dollars at the rate of 1.3546; and the South African rand were translated to US dollars at the rate of 0.1634. The financial statements of Computer Foundations, Total Asset and Softly Aware included in the Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Information are on the basis of US GAAP. The financial statements of the remaining acquired companies (none of which are considered significant) are on the basis of either generally accepted accounting principles in the United Kingdom or in the Republic of Ireland, and differences between such basis and US GAAP are not considered to be material. The Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations was prepared as if the above acquisitions occurred as of January 1, 1999. They combine the results of Integrity for the year ended December 31, 1999 with the results of the acquired companies for the periods from January 1, 1999 through the acquisition dates. The Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Information should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this Prospectus. The Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations does not include any potential cost savings. Integrity believes that it may be able to reduce salaries and related costs and office and general expenses as it eliminates duplication of overhead. However, there can be no assurance that Integrity will be successful in effecting any such cost savings. The Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Information is unaudited and is not necessarily indicative of the consolidated results which actually would have occurred if the above transactions had been consummated at the beginning of the period presented; nor does it purport to present the results of operations for future periods.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of accounting The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, and in accordance with the applicable accounting standards. Basis of preparation These unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared by the directors of Computer Foundations Limited in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the UK. These unaudited interim financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which in the opinion of management are necessary for fair presentation of the information contained therein. Results of operations for the unaudited interim periods may not be indicative of annual results. Tangible fixed assets Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life: Fixtures and fittings -- 15% on written down value Plant and equipment -- 30% on written down value Motor vehicles -- 25% on cost of vehicles or 25% on written down value of vehicles purchased before 1.1.93 Freehold property -- 2% on cost Portable buildings -- Straight line over 3 years Any permanent diminution in the value of properties is charged to the profit and loss account. Stocks Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items.

An asset held under a capitalized lease is depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and its useful life. The interest element of the amount payable is charged to the profit and loss account and the capital element reduces the liability in the balance sheet. Rentals applicable to operating leases where substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership remain with the lessor are charged against profit as incurred. Income from maintenance and support contracts Income from hardware maintenance and training contracts is recognized in the profit and loss account on an earned basis with receipts in advance taken to accruals at the year end. Income from software F-35 92 COMPUTER FOUNDATIONS LIMITED NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) support contracts of one year or less are taken as turnover at the date of invoice, contracts of more than one year are accounted for on an earned basis.

US/UK GAAP RECONCILIATION The financial statements of the Company as set out from the profit and loss account to note 13 but excluding the cash flow statement and notes thereto have been prepared in accordance with generally F-38 95 COMPUTER FOUNDATIONS LIMITED NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) accepted accounting principles applicable in the UK ("UK GAAP"), which differ in certain significant respects from those applicable in the US ("US GAAP"). The material differences as they apply to the Company's financial statements are, as follows: PROVISION FOR DIMINUTION IN VALUE At 30 September 1999, there is a shortfall between the valuation of the freehold property occupied by the company and its net book value (based upon historic cost less depreciation) of L51,626. In the opinion of the directors, this represents a permanent diminution in value and, under UK GAAP, has been charged in the profit and loss account for the 9 months ended 30 September 1999. This would not represent an impairment in a long lived asset under US GAAP. INCOME RECOGNITION The accounting policy of the company for the recognition of income from maintenance and support contracts, as detailed in note 1 to the financial statements, is: -- "Income from maintenance and support contracts Income from hardware maintenance and training contracts is recognized in the profit and loss account on an earned basis with receipts in advance taken to accruals at the year end. Income from software support contracts of one year or less are taken as turnover at the date of invoice, contracts of more than one year are accounted for on an earned basis." This is inconsistent with US GAAP in respect of the treatment of income from software support contracts of one year or less. SOP 97-2 requires that support contract services should be recognized on a pro-rata basis over the term of the arrangement. The following tables also record the tax effect on the profits of the company on the adoption of SOP 97-2. The application of SOP 97-2 has the effect of reducing the taxable profits of the company. These tax effects are based on an effective rate of 22.9% for the 9 months to 30 September 1999 and 23.4% for the 9 months to 30 September 1998. The cumulative effect for 1999 in the table on the "effect on Shareholders Equity" is based on a cumulative tax effect from prior accounting periods and does not represent the actual tax effect under UK taxation rules had the principles of SOP 97-2 been adopted under UK GAAP.

In preparing those financial statements, the directors are required to: - select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; - make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; - state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the accounts, - prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business. The directors are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 1985. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. F-42 99 AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF COMPUTER FOUNDATIONS LIMITED We have audited the financial statements set out from the profit and loss account following this report to note 14 but excluding the cash flow statement and notes thereto, which have been prepared under the Historical Cost Convention and the Accounting Policies set out in note 1. RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF DIRECTORS AND AUDITORS: As described, the company's directors are responsible for the preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United Kingdom. It is our responsibility to form an independent opinion, based on our audit, on those statements and to report our opinion to you. BASIS OF OPINION We conducted our audit in accordance with Auditing Standards issued by the Auditing Practices Board, which are substantially similar to US GAAS. An audit includes examination, on a test basis, of evidence relevant to the amounts disclosed in the financial statements. It also includes an assessment of the significant estimates and judgements made by the directors in the preparation of the financial statements, and of whether the accounting policies are appropriate to the company's circumstances, consistently applied and adequately disclosed. We planned and performed our audit so as to obtain all the information and explanations which we considered necessary in order to provide us with sufficient evidence to give reasonable assurance that the financial statements are free from material misstatements, whether caused by fraud or other irregularity or error. In forming our opinion, we also evaluated the overall adequacy of the presentation of information in the financial statements. OPINION In our opinion, the financial statements give a true and fair view of the state of the company's affairs at 31 December 1998 and 31 December 1997 and of its profit for the years then ended and have been properly prepared in accordance with the Companies Act 1985, applicable to small companies. Scrutton Bland Chartered Accountants and Registered Auditors Colchester 3 August 1999 ADDENDUM TO THE AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF COMPUTER FOUNDATIONS LIMITED Since the preparation of the financial statements of Computer Foundations Limited for United Kingdom statutory purposes, which were approved by the directors on 3 August 1999 and which are referred to in the above audit report, the information contained within this document has been amended as follows: -- - the removal of the directors report which would be required under the Companies Act 1985 - the inclusion of a cash flow statement and notes thereto prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States; and - the inclusion of note 15 which provides information on the adjustments which would be required if these financial statements, which have been prepared under generally accepted accounting principles F-43 100 in the United Kingdom, had been prepared under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF DIRECTORS AND AUDITORS It is the responsibility of the directors of the company to prepare the additional information included in this document. It is our responsibility to form an independent opinion, based on our audit, on note 15 and the cash flow statement and notes thereto and to report our opinion to you. OPINION In our opinion the information contained within note 15 and the cash flow statement and notes thereto fairly presents the adjustments which would be required if these financial statements, which have been prepared under generally accepted accounting principles in the United Kingdom, had been prepared under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of accounting The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, and in accordance with applicable accounting standards. Tangible fixed assets Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life: Fixtures and -- 15% on written down value fittings Plant and equipment -- 30% on written down value Motor vehicles -- 25% on cost of vehicles or 25% on written down value of vehicles purchased before 1.1.93 Freehold property -- 2% on cost Portable buildings -- Straight line over 3 years Any permanent diminution in the value of properties is charged to the profit and loss account. Stocks Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items. Capitalised leases Assets held under capitalized leases are capitalized in the balance sheet with an equivalent liability included under creditors. An asset held under a capitalized lease is depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and its useful life. The interest element of the amount payable is charged to the profit and loss account and the capital element reduces the liability in the balance sheet. Rentals applicable to operating leases where substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership remain with the lessor are charged against profit as incurred. Income from maintenance and support contracts Income from hardware maintenance and training contracts is recognized in the profit and loss account on an earned basis with receipts in advance taken to accruals at the year end. Income from software support contracts of one year or less are taken as turnover at the date of invoice, contracts of more than one year are accounted for on an earned basis. Turnover Turnover represents the amount receivable for goods sold during the year, exclusive of VAT. All turnover arises in the United Kingdom and in relation to the principal activity of the company. F-48 105 COMPUTER FOUNDATIONS LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) 2.

The directors are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Acts, 1963 to 1990. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. F-55 112 AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF PREMIER COMPUTER GROUP LIMITED We have audited the attached financial statements which have been prepared under the historical cost convention and the accounting policies set in note 1. Respective responsibilities of directors and auditors The company's directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the Republic Of Ireland. It is our responsibility to form an independent opinion, based on our audit, on those statements and to report our opinion to you. Basis of opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with Auditing Standards issued by the Auditing Practices Board which are substantially similar to US GAAS. An audit includes an examination, on a test basis, of evidence relevant to the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. It also includes an assessment of the significant estimates and judgements made by the directors in the preparation of the financial statements, and of whether the accounting policies are appropriate to the company's circumstances, consistently applied and adequately disclosed. We planned and performed our audit so as to obtain all the information and explanations which we considered necessary in order to provide us with sufficient evidence to give reasonable assurance that the financial statements are free from material misstatements, whether caused by fraud or other irregularity or error. In forming our opinion we also evaluated the overall adequacy of the presentation of information in the financial statements. Opinion In our opinion, the financial statements give a true and fair view of the state of the group's affairs as at 31 December 1998 and 31 December 1997 and of its results for the year's then ended and have been properly prepared in accordance with the Companies Acts, 1963 to 1990. In our opinion, there did exist at 31 December 1998 a financial situation which, under Section 40(1) of the Companies (Amendment) Act 1983, does require the convening of an extraordinary general meeting of the company. We have obtained all the information and explanations we considered necessary for the purposes of our audit. In our opinion, proper books of account have been kept by the company. The financial statements are in agreement with the books of account.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES a) Basis of preparation These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention in accordance with best accounting practice in the Republic of Ireland (Irish GAAP). The Cash Flow Statement is presented in accordance with US GAAP. Note 25 sets out a reconciliation of Irish GAAP to US GAAP showing the effect on Shareholders Equity and results for the year. b) Revenue Recognition Revenue arising from the sale of hardware products represents invoiced sales during the year, net of valued added taxation and is recognized as the products are shipped. Revenue arising from annual maintenance, support and software contracts is recognized over the period of the contract. Deferred income arises when either a portion of a contract period, for which an invoice has been issued in advance, falls after the year end or where work invoiced has not been completed. c) Depreciation Depreciation is calculated to write off the cost of tangible assets over their expected useful lives at the following annual rates: Improvements to premises 20% straight line Fixtures and fittings 20% straight line Equipment 20% straight line Software 20% straight line Motor vehicles 20% - 33.3% straight line d) Capitalised Leases Assets held under leasing arrangements that transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership ("finance leases") to the company are capitalized. The capital element of the related rental obligations is included in creditors. The interest element of the rental obligations is charged to the profit and loss account so as to produce a constant periodic rate of charge. Rebates of rentals received on disposal of leased assets are treated as proceeds on disposal. All other leases are operating leases and the annual rentals are charged to the profit and loss account. e) Stocks Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost comprises invoice cost exclusive of value added tax, together with freight and carriage costs incurred. Net realisable value comprises the actual or estimated selling price (net of trade discounts) less all further costs to be incurred in marketing, selling and distribution. f) Foreign currencies Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rates ruling at the balance sheet date and revenues, costs and non-monetary assets at the exchange rates ruling at the dates of the transactions. F-60 117 PREMIER COMPUTER GROUP LIMITED NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) Profits and losses arising from foreign currency transactions and on settlement of amounts receivable and payable in foreign currency are dealt with through the profit and loss account. g) Pensions Amounts paid to fund defined contribution schemes are charged to the profit and loss account as incurred. h) Research and development Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. i) Consolidated statement of cash flows For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. 2.

CAPITAL COMMITMENTS The company does not have any capital commitments at 31 December 1998. 25. RECONCILIATION OF IRISH GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES ("IRISH GAAP") TO GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA ("US GAAP") The financial statements of the Company set out on pages 5 to 20 have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable in the Republic of Ireland ("Irish GAAP"), which differ in certain significant respects from those applicable in the US ("US GAAP"). The material differences as they apply to the Company's financial statements are, as follows: Goodwill Under Irish GAAP the company has written off goodwill arising on acquisitions against shareholders equity. Goodwill recognized in accordance with US GAAP purchase accounting requirements is capitalized on the balance sheet and amortized over it's estimated remaining useful life through the income statement. The useful life of goodwill as considered by the directors is 10 years. Financial Assets This Financial Asset was written off during the year ended 31 December 1998 due to doubt over the groups legal ownership of the leasehold interest (which was acquired in the year ended 31 F-67 124 PREMIER COMPUTER GROUP LIMITED NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) December 1997) in accordance with Irish GAAP. This amount has been treated as a correction of an error under US GAAP and consequently written off in its year of acquisition. Deferred Tax Under Irish GAAP, provision is made for deferred tax under the liability method where it is probable that a deferred tax liability will become payable or a tax asset will crystallise within the foreseeable future. Under US GAAP Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" requires deferred tax to be provided on a full liability basis and a valuation adjustment is established against deferred tax assets where valuation it is more likely than not that some portion will not be realised. Research & Development In accordance with Irish GAAP certain Research & Development costs are capitalized and written off through the income statement over the period in which the benefits from these activities arise. The amounts would be expensed to the income statement under US GAAP as technological feasibility has not been established. The tables below set out the effect on shareholders funds and profit for the year on the results of the company.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of accounting The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, and in accordance with applicable accounting standards. Consolidation In the opinion of the directors, the company and its subsidiary undertakings comprise a medium-sized group. The company has therefore taken advantage of the exemption provided by Section 248 of the Companies Act 1985 not to prepare group accounts. Goodwill Purchased goodwill is written off to the profit & loss account over its estimated useful life. This year the directors have increased to write off period to 20 years from 10 years. Amortization Amortization is calculated so as to write off the cost of an asset, less its estimated residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows: Goodwill -- Over 20 years -- Straight Line Depreciation Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost of an asset, less its estimated residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows: Equipment -- 20% Straight Line Stocks Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items. Operating lease agreements Rentals applicable to operating leases where substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership remain with the lessor are charged against profits as incurred. Pension costs The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme for employees. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the company. The annual contributions payable are charged to the profit and loss account. 2. INCOME REVENUE RECOGNITION Revenue arising from the sale of hardware products represents invoiced sales during the period, net of value added taxation and is recognized as the products are shipped. Revenue arising from annual maintenance and support contracts is recognized over the period of the contract. F-73 130 INFORMATION SUPPORT LTD NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) Deferred income arises when a portion of a contract period, for which an invoice has been issued in advance, falls after the year end. 3.

In preparing those financial statements, the directors are required to: - select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently. - make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent. - prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business. The directors are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 1985. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. F-81 138 AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF SARACEN COMPUTER SYSTEMS LIMITED We have audited the financial statements set out on the following pages which have been prepared under the historical cost convention and the accounting policies set out in note 1. RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF DIRECTORS AND AUDITORS As described on the preceding page, the company's directors are responsible for the preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the UK. It is our responsibility to form an independent opinion, based on our audit, on those statements and to report our opinion to you. BASIS OF OPINION We conducted our audit in accordance with Auditing Standards issued by the Auditing Practices Board which are substantially similar to US GAAS. An audit includes examination, on a test basis, of evidence relevant to the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. It also includes an assessment of the significant estimates and judgments made by the directors in the preparation of the financial statements, and of whether the accounting policies are appropriate to the company's circumstances, consistently applied and adequately disclosed. We planned and performed our audit so as to obtain all the information and explanations which we considered necessary in order to provide us with sufficient evidence to give reasonable assurance that the financial statements are free from material misstatement, whether caused by fraud or other irregularity or error. In forming our opinion we also evaluated the overall adequacy of the presentation of information in the financial statements. OPINION In our opinion the financial statements give a true and fair view of the state of the company's affairs at 31st October 1997 and 31st October 1996 and of its profit for the years then ended and have been properly prepared in accordance with the Companies Act 1985. MOORE STEPHENS CHARTERED ACCOUNTANTS AND REGISTERED AUDITOR Charterhouse 165 Newhall Street Birmingham B3 1SW 15TH JANUARY 1998 ADDENDUM In our opinion the information contained within note 19 and the cash flow statement and notes thereto fairly presents the adjustments which would be required if these financial statements, which have been prepared under generally accepted accounting principles in the United Kingdom, had been prepared under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.

PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES BASIS OF ACCOUNTING The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with applicable accounting standards and under the historical cost convention. REVENUE RECOGNITION Revenue arising from the sale of hardware products represents invoiced sales during the period, net of value added taxation and is recognized as the products are shipped. Revenue arising from annual maintenance support and software contracts is recognized over the period of the contract. Deferred income arises when either a portion of a contract period, for which an invoice has been issued in advance, falls after the year end or where work invoiced has not been completed. FIXED ASSETS AND DEPRECIATION Fixed assets are depreciated over their estimated useful lives using the following rates:-- Freehold property.......................................... Nil Office equipment........................................... 10% Straight line Motor vehicles............................................. 25% Straight line Computers.................................................. 20% Straight line Research and development................................... Nil Freehold property is not depreciated as it is considered that the residual value and life of the property is such that depreciation would not be material. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT Research and development expenditure is charged against profit in the year in which it is incurred, except insofar as it relates to a clearly defined project and the benefits therefrom can reasonably be regarded as assured. Expenditure so deferred is limited to the value of future benefits and is amortized through the profit and loss account on a systematic basis over the period expected to benefit from the project. STOCKS Stocks have been consistently valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. DEFERRED TAXATION Deferred taxation is calculated under the liability method. Taxation deferred or accelerated by reason of material timing differences is accounted for if such liability is expected to arise in the foreseeable future. Advance corporation tax is carried forward to the extent that it is expected to be recovered. F-87 144 SARACEN COMPUTER SYSTEMS LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) 2.

PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES BASIS OF PREPARATION These unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared by the directors of Saracen Computer Systems Limited in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the UK, and reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of the management, necessary to present a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Results of operations for the unaudited interim periods may not be indicative of annual results. REVENUE RECOGNITION Revenue arising from the sale of hardware products represents invoiced sales during the period, net of value added taxation and is recognized as the products are shipped. Revenue arising from annual maintenance support and software contracts is recognized over the period of the contract. Deferred income arises when either a portion of a contract period, for which an invoice has been issued in advance, falls after the year end or where work invoiced has not been completed. FIXED ASSETS AND DEPRECIATION Fixed assets are depreciated over their estimated useful lives using the following rates:- Freehold property NIL Office equipment 10% STRAIGHT LINE Motor vehicles 25% STRAIGHT LINE Computers 20% STRAIGHT LINE Research and development NIL Freehold property is not depreciated as it is considered that the residual value and life of the property is such that depreciation would not be material. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT Research and development expenditure is charged against profit in the year in which it is incurred, except insofar as it relates to a clearly defined project and the benefits therefrom can reasonably be regarded as assured. Expenditure so deferred is limited to the value of future benefits and is amortized through the profit and loss account on a systematic basis over the period expected to benefit from the project. STOCKS Stocks have been consistently valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. DEFERRED TAXATION Deferred taxation is calculated under the liability method. Taxation deferred or accelerated by reason of material timing differences is accounted for if such liability is expected to arise in the foreseeable future. Advance corporation tax is carried forward to the extent that it is expected to be recovered. F-98 155 SARACEN COMPUTER SYSTEMS LIMITED NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) 2.

RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF DIRECTORS AND AUDITORS As described in the statement of directors' responsibilities, the company's directors are responsible for the preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the UK. It is our responsibility to form an independent opinion, based on our audit, on those statements and to report our opinion to you. BASIS OF OPINION We conducted our audit in accordance with Auditing Standards issued by the Auditing Practices Board which are substantially similar to US GAAS. An audit includes examination, on a test basis, of evidence relevant to the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. It also includes an assessment of the significant estimates and judgements made by the directors in the preparation of the financial statements and of whether the accounting policies are appropriate to the company's circumstances, consistently applied and adequately disclosed. We planned and performed our audit so as to obtain all the information and explanations which we considered necessary in order to provide us with sufficient evidence to give reasonable assurance that the financial statements are free from material misstatement, whether caused by fraud or other irregularity or error. In forming our opinion we also evaluated the overall adequacy of the presentation of information in the financial statements. OPINION In our opinion the financial statements give a true and fair view of the state of the company's affairs as at 28 February 1999 and 28 February 1998 and of its results for the year then ended and have been properly prepared in accordance with the Companies Act 1985.

The material differences as they apply to the Company's financial statements are, as follows: Revenue Recognition In accordance with US GAAP revenue arising from annual maintenance, support and software contracts is recognized over the period of the contract. Similarly, deferred income arises when either a portion of a contract period, for which an invoice has been issued in advance, falls after the year end or where work invoiced has not been completed.

PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES The principal activity of the company continued to be that of arranging leasing and rental finance of capital equipment. Results The company has once again traded successfully throughout the past year, building on the profits and secure foundations laid in previous years. The results can be summarised as follows Operating profit............................................ L197,000 Transfer to deferred income................................. L189,000 Net operating profit........................................ L 8,000 It is the company's practice to retain turnover and subsequent profit on payments of lease rentals received past the termination date of the lease. The directors consider it prudent to make provision for these amounts by transferring them to deferred income. In the directors' opinion any such amounts will be available for transfer back to profit in due course. Significant progress has been made installing, developing and updating management information systems, an improved office facilities at Warrington and Milton Keynes provide a sound base on which to expand the company and capitalize fully on the foundations previously laid. Major business negotiations are under way with large commercial and technological companies that will introduce joint marketing opportunities, assisting the company to achieve the planned sales expansion. The company is poised to move forward and is confident that the business plans for the year will be achieved. YEAR 2000 The directors have considered whether the company's operations could be adversely affected by malfunctions in computer or other equipment arising from errors in processing dates in the year 2000 and beyond. No part of the company's current operations is critically dependent on computer or other equipment which could be affected by year 2000 problems.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES 1.1 Accounting convention The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention. As noted in 1.3 below, the company has a policy of retaining the first rental installment of the majority of the leases that it enters into. There is uncertainty as noted in note 14 as to whether these installments would be repayable. In the event that the whole liability becomes payable, the company may not be in a position to meet all of the demands. The directors consider it unlikely that this liability will crystallise and therefore deem it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that would result from a realisation of these liabilities. 1.2 Compliance with accounting standards The accounts have been prepared in accordance with applicable accounting standards. 1.3 Turnover Turnover represents the following -- Commissions and consultancy fees receivable from third parties in respect of leases signed up by the company as agents. Proceeds from finance houses for leases brokered on where the ultimate risk and reward has been passed on by the company. Gross rental income for leases brokered on to third parties. First rental installment received for leases brokered on to third parties. 1.4 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost less estimated residual value of each asset over its expected useful life, as follows: Office fixtures and equipment 15% reducing balance Motor vehicles 25% reducing balance 1.5 Leasing and hire purchase commitments Assets obtained under hire purchase contracts and finance leases are capitalized as tangible assets and depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives. Obligations under such agreements are included in creditors net of the finance charge allocated to future periods. The finance element of the rental payment is charged to the profit and loss account so as to produce a constant periodic rate of charge on the net obligation outstanding in each period. Rentals payable under operating leases are charged against income on a straight line basis over the lease term. 1.6 Investments Fixed asset investments are stated at cost less provision for diminution in value. F-130 187 TOTAL ASSET LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) 1.7 Pensions The pension costs charged in the financial statements represent the contributions payable by the company during the year in accordance with SSAP 24. 1.8 Deferred taxation Deferred taxation is provided at appropriate rates on all timing differences using the liability method only to the extent that, in the opinion of the directors, there is a reasonable probability that a liability or asset will crystallise in the foreseeable future. 1.9 Leasing The company purchases assets which it then leases out to third parties. The rental streams of these leases are brokered on to finance institutions. For those leases where the company retains title to the asset, the risks and rewards of the lease revert to the company at the end of the primary period of the lease. For those leases where the company does not retain title to the asset the company has no further claim on that asset after the point of sale. Income from the sale of leases is included in turnover, whilst the cost of the assets is included in cost of sales. The aggregate rentals received by the company in respect of finance leases for payment to third parties was L2,156,597, finance income received by the company in respect of finance leases was L3,677,432, and the cost of the assets acquired for the purpose of letting under finance lease contracts in the year was L3,150,272. 2.

DIRECTORS' STATEMENT Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the profit for that period. In preparing those financial statements the directors are required to: Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; State whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business. The directors are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose, with reasonable accuracy at any time, the financial position of the company and to enable them to ensure the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 1985. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. RESULTS AND DIVIDENDS The profit on the ordinary activities of the company before taxation amounted to L971,186. After deducting taxation, the profit of L691,379 has been transferred to reserves.

In forming our opinion, we also evaluated the overall adequacy of the presentation of information in the financial statements.

F-149 206 IBIS SYSTEMS LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) 27. RECONCILIATION OF GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES IN THE UNITED KINGDOM ("UK GAAP") TO GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA ("US GAAP") The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable in the United Kingdom ("UK GAAP"), which differ in certain significant respects from those applicable in the US ("US GAAP"). The material differences as they apply to the Company's financial statements are as follows: INCOME RECOGNITION The accounting policy of the Company for the recognition of income from maintenance and support contracts, as detailed in note 1 to the financial statements, is inconsistent with US GAAP in respect of the treatment of income from software support contracts of one year or less. SOP 97-2 requires that support contract services should be recognized on a pro-rata basis over the term of the arrangement. DEFERRED TAX Under UK GAAP, provision is made for deferred tax under the liability method where it is probable that a tax liability will become payable. Under US GAAP Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 121, "Accounting for Income Taxes", requires deferred tax to be provided for on a full liability basis. The table below sets out the effect on profit for the year. 1998 ---------- STG L EFFECT ON PROFITS Net Profit as stated under UK GAAP.......................... 691,379 US GAAP adjustments: Deferral of income under SOP 97-2...........................

(34,033) ---------- SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY AS STATED UNDER US GAAP................ (112,813) ========== CASH FLOW STATEMENT The cash flow statement prepared and presented in accordance with UK GAAP presents substantially the same information as that required under US GAAP. However there are certain differences from UK GAAP with regard to the classification of items within the cash flow and with regard to the definition of cash and cash equivalents. F-150 207 IBIS SYSTEMS LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) Under UK GAAP, cash flows are presented separately for trading activities, returns on investments and servicing of finance, taxation, capital expenditure and financial investment, acquisitions and disposals, equity dividends paid, management of liquid resources and financing activities. Under US GAAP, however, only three categories of cash flow activities are reported, being operating activities, investing activities and financing activities. Cash flows from taxation and returns on investments and servicing of finance would be included under operating activities under US GAAP. Under US GAAP, cash and cash equivalents do not include overdrafts but do include investments repayable within three months of maturity when acquired. Set out below is a cash flow statement under US GAAP: 1998 --------- STG L Net cash provided by operating activities................... 1,927,655 Net cash used in investing activities.......................

UNDERTAKINGS (a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the underwriters at the closing specified in the underwriting agreement certificates in such denominations and registered in such names as required by the underwriters to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser. (b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that: (i) For 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 shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective. (ii) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Act, 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 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 or persons controlling the registrant pursuant to the provisions of Item 14, or otherwise, the registrant has been informed 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.
