("IP Merger"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of IMRS Inc. (the "Company"), merged (the "Merger") with and into Pillar Corporation ("Pillar"). As a result of the Merger, Pillar became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and the former securityholders of Pillar will receive approximately 511,400 shares of the Company's common stock, $.01 par value (the "Common Stock"), subject to an escrow reserve of approximately 92,000 shares. In addition, the Company agreed to assume options and warrants issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger for the purchase of approximately 73,500 shares of Common Stock, of which 3,227 shares of Common Stock that may be acquired upon the exercise of such warrants have been registered for sale hereunder. The terms of this transaction and the consideration received by Pillar stockholders were the result of arm's-length negotiations between representatives of Pillar and the Company. The terms of the Merger and the exchange of Pillar securities for the Common Stock are more fully described in the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the "Reorganization Agreement") dated as of November 7, 1994 among the Company, IP Merger, Pillar and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as escrow agent. This transaction has been accounted for as a pooling of interests. Beverly Powell, Pillar's Senior Vice President of Sales, and Kimberly Weins, Pillar's Director of Marketing, have each retained their existing positions at Pillar. Pillar's chief executive officer before the Merger, Kenneth Ross, has moved to a corporate position at IMRS that will utilize his extensive experience in accounting and financial management software. Pillar has become an operating subsidiary of IMRS, known as IMRS Pillar, and current employees are expected to remain at the California facility. Pillar's corporate budgeting products, FYPlan and FYControl, will be marketed separately and as complementary products to IMRS financial management software products. INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS In addition to the other information in this Prospectus, and the information incorporated in this Prospectus by reference, the following investment considerations should be considered carefully in evaluating the Company and its business before purchasing the Common Stock offered hereby. DIFFICULTY OF INTEGRATING TWO COMPANIES. The Merger was completed on November 29, 1994. The successful integration of the Company and Pillar is important to the future financial performance of the combined enterprise. The anticipated benefits of the Merger may not be achieved unless, among other things, the operations of Pillar are successfully combined with those of the Company in a timely manner. The diversion of the attention of management, and any difficulties encountered in the transition process, could have an adverse impact on the revenues and operating results of the combined enterprise. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully integrate Pillar and its products into the Company's operations. VARIABILITY OF OPERATING RESULTS. The Company operates with little or no software licensing backlog. Therefore, quarterly revenues and operating results are dependent on the volume and timing of the signing of license agreements and product deliveries during the quarter, all of which are difficult to forecast. The Company's future operating results may fluctuate due to these and other factors, such as customer buying patterns, the timing of new product introductions and product upgrade releases, the Company's hiring plans, the scheduling of sales and marketing programs, and new product development. The Company generally has realized lower revenues in its first (September 30) and third 4 5 (March 31) fiscal quarters than in the immediately preceding quarters. The Company believes that these revenue fluctuations are caused by customer buying patterns, including traditionally slow purchase activity in the summer months and low purchase activity in the accounting and financial reporting applications market during the March quarter, as many potential customers are busy with their year-end closing and financial reporting. Due to the relatively fixed nature of certain costs, including personnel and facilities expenses, the decline in revenues in the first and third fiscal quarters typically results in lower profitability and may result in losses in these quarters. NEW PRODUCTS AND TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE. The client/server financial software business is characterized by rapid technological change and uncertainty about the widespread acceptance of new products. The Company's continued success will depend upon the Company's ability to enhance its current products, to introduce new products that keep pace with technological and market developments and to address the increasingly sophisticated needs of its customers. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in developing and marketing, on a timely basis, product enhancements or new products that respond to technological advances by others, or that its new or existing products will adequately address the needs of the marketplace or continue to support current pricing levels. LONG-TERM INVESTMENT CYCLE. Developing, selling and supporting financial software is expensive and the investment in product research and development often involves a long pay-back cycle. The Company began investing in the principal products that are significant to its current revenues in the 1980s and early 1990s. The Company's plans for 1995 include significant investment in software research and development from which significant revenues are not anticipated for a number of years, if at all. Future competitors of the Company may enter the market without the cost burden of such long-term investment. DEPENDENCE ON PROPRIETARY TECHNOLOGY. The Company relies on a combination of trade secret, copyright and trademark laws, license agreements, nondisclosure and other contractual provisions and technical measures to protect its proprietary rights in its products. There can be no assurance that these protections will be adequate or that the Company's competitors will not independently develop technologies that are substantially equivalent or superior to the Company's technologies. In addition, the laws of certain countries in which the Company's products are or may be licensed do not protect the Company's products and intellectual property rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States. Although the Company believes that its products, trademarks and other proprietary rights do not infringe upon the proprietary rights of third parties, there can be no assurance that third parties will not assert infringement claims against the Company in the future. ATTRACTION AND RETENTION OF KEY PERSONNEL. The Company believes that its continued success depends in large part upon its ability to attract and retain highly-skilled technical, managerial and marketing personnel. Competition for such personnel in the software industry is intense. Although the Company has been successful to date in attracting and retaining the skilled personnel it requires to successfully develop new and enhanced products and to continue to grow and operate profitably, there can be no assurance that the Company will continue to attract and retain such personnel. LACK OF SIGNIFICANT PRODUCT DIVERSIFICATION. A significant portion of the Company's total revenues in recent fiscal periods were derived from licenses of software for financial consolidation and reporting applications and related services. The Company derived approximately 83%, 78% and 79% of its worldwide total revenues from licenses and related services for its Hyperion and Micro Control products for fiscal year 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. Accordingly, any reduction in demand or increase in competition in the market for financial consolidation and reporting software, or decline in sales of such products, especially Hyperion, could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and financial condition. 5 6 International Operations. Approximately 29%, 28% and 20% of the Company's total revenues for each of its 1994, 1993 and 1992 fiscal years, respectively, were derived from markets outside of the United States. Risks associated with international operations include staffing and managing distant operations, dependence on independent distributors, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and regulatory requirements. ANTI-TAKEOVER PROVISIONS; POSSIBLE ISSUANCE OF PREFERRED STOCK. The Company's Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, and By-laws contain provisions that may make it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or discourage acquisition bids for, the Company. These provisions could limit the price that certain investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of Common Stock. In addition, shares of the Company's preferred stock may be issued in the future without further stockholder approval and upon such terms and conditions, having such rights, privileges and preferences, as the Board of Directors of the Company may determine. The rights of the holders of Common Stock will be subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of any holders of the Company preferred stock that may be issued in the future. The issuance by the Company of preferred stock, while providing desirable flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or discouraging a third party from acquiring, a majority of the outstanding voting stock of the Company. The Company has no present plans to issue any shares of preferred stock. USE OF PROCEEDS The proceeds from the sale of each Selling Stockholder's Shares will belong to the Selling Stockholder. The Company will not receive any of the proceeds from such sales of the Shares. 6 7 PRICE RANGE OF COMMON STOCK The Company's Common Stock is quoted on the Nasdaq National Market under the symbol IMRS. The following table sets forth for the periods indicated the high and low closing sale prices for the Company's Common Stock as reported by the Nasdaq National Market.

The Company has not paid any cash dividends on its Common Stock and does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. The Company currently intends to retain future earnings to fund the development and growth of its business. In addition, the Company's revolving credit facility restricts the Company's payment of dividends. 7 8 SELLING STOCKHOLDERS The Shares are to be offered by and for the respective accounts of the Selling Stockholders.

Each Selling Stockholder represented to the Company in connection with the completion of the Merger that it was acquiring its Shares without any present intention of effecting a distribution of those Shares. In recognition of the fact, however, that investors may want to be able to sell their shares when they consider it appropriate, pursuant to the terms of the Reorganization Agreement, the Company agreed to file the Registration Statement with the Commission to permit the public sale of the Shares and to use all reasonable efforts to keep the Registration Statement effective until the earlier of November 29, 1996 or the sale of all of the Shares pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act or the Registration Statement. The Company will prepare and file such amendments and supplements to the Registration Statement as may be necessary to keep it effective until all of the Shares have been sold pursuant to the Registration Statement or until registration of the Shares is no longer required by reason of Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act or other rules of similar effect. 10 11 PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION The Shares offered hereby may be sold from time to time by the Selling Stockholders for their own accounts. The Company will receive none of the proceeds from this offering. The Selling Stockholders will pay or assume brokerage commissions or other charges and expenses incurred in the sale of the Shares. The distribution of the Shares by the Selling Stockholders is not subject to any underwriting agreement. The Shares covered by this Prospectus may be sold by the Selling Stockholders or by pledgees, donees, transferees or other successors in interest. The Shares offered by the Selling Stockholders may be sold from time to time at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices relating to such prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. In addition, the Selling Stockholders may sell their Shares covered by this Prospectus through customary brokerage channels, either through broker-dealers acting as agents or brokers, or through broker-dealers acting as principals, who may then resell the Shares, or at private sale or otherwise, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. The Selling Stockholders may effect such transactions by selling Shares to or through broker-dealers, and such broker-dealers may receive compensation in the form of underwriting discounts, concessions, commissions, or fees from the Selling Stockholders and/or purchasers of the Shares for whom such broker-dealers may act as agent or to whom they sell as principal, or both (which compensation to a particular broker-dealer might be in excess of customary commissions). Any broker dealers that participate with the Selling Stockholders in the distribution of Shares may be deemed to be underwriters and any commissions received by them and any profit on the resale of Shares placed by them might be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions within the meaning of the Securities Act, in connection with such sales. Any shares covered by the Prospectus that qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather than pursuant to this Prospectus. 11 12 LEGAL MATTERS The validity of the shares of Common Stock offered hereby will be passed upon for the Company by Testa, Hurwitz & Thibeault, Boston, Massachusetts.
