Principal Executive Offices: 7900 Glades Road Suite 440 Boca Raton, Florida 33434 (561) 482-6678 560,940 SHARES OF COMMON STOCK $.001 PAR VALUE PER SHARE The shares of Common Stock, $.001 par value, of Computer Integration Corp. (the "Company") offered hereby (the "Shares") are being sold by certain executive officers and/or directors of the Company (the "Selling Stockholders"). The Shares have been or may be acquired by the Selling Stockholders from time to time from the Company upon the exercise of options to purchase such Shares granted to the Selling Stockholders by the Company pursuant to the Company's 1994 Stock Option Plan, AS AMENDED, and pursuant to the 1994 Employee Incentive Plan (collectively the "Plans"). Options to purchase 560,900 Shares authorized pursuant to the Plans, and 40 Shares issued pursuant to the Plans, are currently held by the Selling Stockholders. See "Selling Stockholders." It is anticipated that the Shares may be offered for sale by one or more of the Selling Stockholders, in their discretion, on a delayed or continuous basis from time to time in transactions in the open market at prices prevailing at the time of sale on the NASDAQ SmallCap Market System, or in negotiated transactions. Such transactions may be effected directly by the Selling Stockholders, each acting as principal for his own account. Alternatively, such transactions may be effected through brokers, dealers or other agents designated from time to time by the Selling Stockholders and such brokers, dealers or other agents may receive compensation in the form of customary brokerage commissions or concessions from the Selling Stockholders or the purchasers of the Shares. The Selling Stockholders may also pledge Shares as collateral, and such Shares could be resold pursuant to the terms of such pledges. No Selling Stockholder may sell during any three-month period an amount of Shares that exceeds the amount specified in Rule 144(e) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). The Selling Stockholders, brokers who execute orders on their behalf, and other persons who participate in the offering of the Shares on their behalf may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act and a portion of the proceeds of sales and commissions or concessions therefore may be deemed underwriting compensation for purposes of the Securities Act. The Company will not receive any part of the proceeds from the sale of Shares by the Selling Stockholders. The Company will pay all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the registration of the shares under the Securities Act. The Selling Stockholders will pay the costs associated with any sales of shares, including any discounts, commissions and applicable transfer taxes. The shares of Common Stock of the Company are quoted on Nasdaq under the symbol "CICC". On July 30, 1996, the last reported sale price of the Common Stock on Nasdaq was $1.6875 per share.

The Company distributes a broad range of microcomputer-related products from major hardware manufacturers and software developers such as Hewlett-Packard Company ("HP"), Compaq Computer Corporation ("Compaq"), Sun Microsystems Computer Corporation ("Sun"), Toshiba America Information Systems, Inc. ("Toshiba"), International Business Machines ("IBM"), Lexmark International ("Lexmark"), Epson America, Inc. ("Epson"), NEC Technologies, Inc. ("NEC"), 3COM, Inc. ("3COM"), Canon Computer Systems, Inc. ("Canon"), Novell, Inc. ("Novell") and Microsoft Corporation ("Microsoft"). The Company is one of the largest resellers of computer products manufactured by HP in the United States, and during the year ended June 30, 1995 ("Fiscal 1995") and the nine months ended March 31, 1996 (the "1996 Period"), sales of HP products accounted for approximately 69% and 66% of the Company's net sales, respectively. During Fiscal 1995 and the 1996 Period, approximately 70% and 68%, respectively, of the products sold by the Company were purchased directly from manufacturers, with the balance from aggregators and distributors. The Company has experienced rapid growth. On March 30, 1993, the Company acquired Copley Systems Corporation ("Copley") of Westwood, Massachusetts. Net sales of the Company and Copley increased from $41.6 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1990 to $209.2 million in Fiscal 1995. Approximately 40.5% of that increase in sales was attributable to the acquisition of Dataprint, Inc. ("Dataprint") of Charlotte, North Carolina, effective July 1, 1994. The remaining increase in sales represents an approximate 27.7% compounded annual growth from operations. At the time of their acquisitions, Copley and Dataprint were each one of the largest dealers of HP computer products in the northeastern and southeastern United States, respectively. Effective July 1, 1995, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of Cedar Computer Center, Inc. ("Cedar") of Des Moines, Iowa (the "Cedar Acquisition"). Cedar was one of the largest dealers of HP computer products in the midwestern and western United States. Cedar's products complement the Company's existing product lines and increase the Company's market share of Compaq products. The Cedar Acquisition increased the Company's net sales by 121.1% to $462.5 million, on a pro forma basis, for Fiscal 1995. For the period from August 1, 1991 through June 30, 1995, Cedar's net sales increased from $52.2 million to $253.3 million, on a pro forma basis, representing compounded annual growth of 48.4%. Cedar's net sales for the eight-month period ended June 30, 1995 were $171.2 million. The microcomputer industry has grown dramatically over the past several years as a result of equipment price reductions, significant improvements in hardware performance and software applications, increased use of microcomputers by governments and businesses and increased product familiarity by end users. The microcomputer distribution industry has experienced related growth in the use of wholesale distribution channels by manufacturers for the distribution of their products. The Company has distinguished itself from its competitors by focusing primarily on the direct delivery of personal computer ("PC") hardware, peripherals and software, from selected manufacturers, to a broad range of customers through a low-cost, efficient method of distribution. The Company configures PCs and printers with memory, operating systems and software at strategically located distribution centers throughout the United States. Management believes that the Company's focus on a limited number of manufacturers, its expertise with their product lines, commitment to servicing of its customers and efficient distribution and delivery of products provide the Company a competitive advantage and enable it to operate with relatively low operating costs. The Company's decentralized distribution system enables it to reduce product delivery costs and rapidly respond to customer orders. The Company's emphasis on customer satisfaction is evidenced by repeat business to existing customers of approximately 81.3% of total net sales during Fiscal 1995. Repeat business to existing customers of Cedar accounted for approximately 80.0% of Cedar's total net sales for the eight-month period ended June 30, 1995. 3 6 The Company's operating strategy is to (i) expand its nationwide sales and distribution network through additional acquisitions and internal growth, (ii) exploit its competitive advantage realized from its low-cost distribution system, (iii) increase its market share of products of selected manufacturers such as HP, Compaq, IBM and Sun, (iv) build customer loyalty and satisfaction and (v) expand its systems integration and support services. The Company intends to acquire other companies whose product lines would complement the Company's existing products or markets, including both resellers and providers of systems integration and support services. The Company has approximately 13,000 active customers, including approximately 4,000 customers added by the Cedar Acquisition. The Company's average invoice size during Fiscal 1995 and the 1996 Period was approximately $1,800. Cedar's average invoice size during the eight-month period ended June 30, 1995 was approximately $1,600. The Company's executive offices are located at 7900 Glades Road, Suite 440, Boca Raton, Florida 33434, and its telephone number is (407) 482-6678. 4 7 RISK FACTORS In addition to all other information contained in this Prospectus, prospective investors should carefully consider the following risk factors before purchasing the Shares offered hereby. DEPENDENCE ON KEY SUPPLIERS Products from two manufacturers, HP and Sun, accounted for 68.7% and 12.7%, respectively, of the Company's net sales for Fiscal 1995, and 70.8% and 15.4%, respectively, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1994 ("Fiscal 1994"). HP products accounted for 75.0% of Cedar's net sales for the eight months ended June 30, 1995. The Company's business is dependent upon terms provided by its major vendors, including pricing and related provisions, product availability and cooperative advertising and marketing allowances. The Company operates under authorized dealer agreements with its suppliers, which agreements are typically non-exclusive, short-term in duration, subject to periodic renewal, and may be terminated by either party without cause on short notice. The Company's current reseller's agreement with HP has a one-year term expiring on February 28, 1997. The agreement allows either party to terminate the agreement without cause upon 30 days written notice, or with cause upon 15 days written notice. The Company's total purchases of products from HP have qualified the Company for HP's maximum reseller's volume discount (presently known as the "Level II Discount") since August 1, 1994. As of the date of this Prospectus, the Level II Discount is available to resellers who have attained gross purchases of HP products of at least $200.0 million during a contract year. Qualification for the Level II discount enables the Company to decrease its cost of HP products by an incremental 2.0%. There can be no assurance that HP will not, in the future, increase the sales level necessary to qualify for the Level II Discount or create other more favorable discount categories for which the Company may not qualify. With the addition of Cedar, total purchases of HP products for the contract year ending February 28, 1997 are expected to substantially exceed $200.0 million. Although the Company considers its relations with HP to be excellent, there can be no assurance that such relationship will continue as presently in effect. The deterioration of the Company's relationship with either HP or Sun, or the termination or cancellation of the Company's authorized dealer agreements with HP or Sun, would have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, operations, financial condition and prospects. MANAGING RAPID GROWTH; NO ASSURANCE OF ADDITIONAL FINANCING Since inception, the Company has experienced rapid growth. Historically, cash flow from operations has been insufficient to finance this growth, and the Company has relied upon a revolving credit facility to finance working capital requirements. During Fiscal 1995 and Fiscal 1994, the Company used approximately $2.4 million and $3.5 million, respectively, of cash in operating activities. The Company reversed this trend in the 1996 Period by providing cash of approximately $8.7 million, rather than using $1.4 million of cash in the comparable period in 1995, from operating activities. The Company believes that cash flow from operations and borrowings under its revolving credit facility will provide sufficient cash to fund the Company's operations and current obligations for the next 12 months. As part of its growth strategy, the Company intends to acquire other companies whose product lines or markets would complement the Company's existing products or markets, create new marketing programs, hire additional personnel and increase sales to business customers. Should the Company expand its operations or make acquisitions that would require funds in addition to its existing liquid assets, cash flows, and the net proceeds from this Offering, it may have to seek additional debt or equity financing. There can be no assurance that the Company could obtain such financing or that such financing would be available on terms acceptable to the Company. On March 12, 1996 the Company's Board of Directors approved a restructuring plan which involves a relocation of the Company's corporate headquarters, located in Boca Raton, Florida, to Atlanta, Georgia. The Company has signed a five-year lease, providing for monthly rental payments of approximately $44,000, on a new headquarters and sales and distribution facility in Atlanta which is scheduled for completion in late 1996. The Company will recognize a $2.2 million restructuring charge for the three and twelve month period ended June 30, 1996 and believes that these actions, once 5 8 completed, will result in improvements in operational efficiency. As a result of the consolidation of the Company's operations, the installation of a new management information system, the restructuring and other factors, management believes that the Company's sales and earnings for the year ended June 30, 1996 will not meet the levels achieved, on a pro forma basis, for the year ended June 30, 1995, and that the sales and earnings for the three months ended September 30, 1996 may not meet the levels achieved, on an actual basis, for the three months ended September 30, 1995. Although the Company continuously reviews potential acquisition targets, it has not entered into any agreement, understanding or commitment with respect to any additional acquisitions at this time. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that the Company will complete any acquisitions, obtain sufficient funds to finance any acquisitions or that it will be able to successfully integrate any acquired business into its existing operations and expand such operations. MARKETS FOR PRODUCTS AND SERVICES The Company's sales efforts are focused primarily on a defined market segment, consisting of large and medium-sized corporations, federal, state and local governments ("Government") and colleges and universities ("Education") throughout the United States. The Company's future financial performance will depend upon continued demand for the computer products which it distributes and related technical services which it provides within such markets, as well as general economic conditions. During each of the fiscal years ended June 30, 1995, 1994 and 1993, the Company derived 42.8%, 45.5% and 41.9%, respectively, of its net sales from Government and Education purchasers. For the eight months ended June 30, 1995, sales to government and education purchasers accounted for 27.5% of Cedar's total sales. In recent years, fiscal pressures have severely affected the budgets of many of these organizations and in many instances imposed mandatory spending restraints. The Company's revenues and operating income could be adversely affected by a general slowdown or other adverse economic conditions affecting any of its customers or any additional fiscal limitations which may lead to a decline in public sector purchasing. INDUSTRY CONDITIONS Resellers in the microcomputer industry, including the Company, face a number of potentially adverse business conditions, including declining gross profit margins. Although increased price competition among hardware manufacturers has generally reduced the cost of products purchased by resellers, gross profit margins for many resellers have declined since the costs of products for resellers has not declined proportionately with decreases in prices to the ultimate consumer. For the fiscal years ended June 30, 1995, 1994 and 1993, the Company's gross profit margin was 9.8%, 10.3% and 10.5%, respectively, and for the nine month period ended March 31, 1996, was 9.33%. Cedar's gross margin for the fiscal year ended October 31, 1994 and the fifteen months ended October 31, 1993 was 6.9% and 8.6%, respectively. For the eight months ended June 30, 1995, Cedar's gross margin was 8.4%. Because the Company's gross profit margins are relatively small, small increases in expenses or other charges to income could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations. In addition, increased price competition among hardware manufacturers has resulted in a reduction in existing vendor-sponsored market development programs. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to continue to compete successfully in the microcomputer industry. The computer industry is characterized by rapid product improvement and technological change resulting in relatively short product life cycles and rapid product obsolescence. The Company's policy is to minimize levels of inventory and to resell such inventory as quickly as possible to minimize its risk of being adversely affected by obsolescence. All of the Company's major suppliers employ practices intended to reduce the risk of product obsolescence by permitting exchanges of slow-selling or obsolete products for more popular products and providing advance notice to the Company of new product developments. If the Company's suppliers do not continue such policies or a significant amount of the Company's inventory is rendered obsolete as a result of unforeseen new product developments, the Company's business and operating results would be adversely 6 9 affected. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that the Company's current and future vendors and suppliers will be able to achieve the technological advances necessary to remain competitive or that the Company will be able to obtain authorizations from new vendors to sell new products that gain market acceptance. COMPETITION The Company's product lines of computers, peripherals and related services compete with products and services of a large number of other industry participants on local, regional and national levels. The Company competes with national and regional dealers, integrators, computer superstores, mass merchants, mail-order resellers, manufacturers' direct sales organizations, and other value-added resellers on the basis of price, post-sales technical support and service, speed of delivery and breadth of product lines. Direct telemarketing and mail-order organizations have developed as important alternative distribution channels. In addition, computer "superstores" and mail-order distributors offer purchasers a relatively low cost, minimal service alternative to traditional supply sources. These distribution channels benefit from heightened product awareness and price sensitivity on the part of users, the emergence of standardization within the industry, and increased interchangeability of peripherals. As microcomputer users have become more computer literate, their dependence on local dealers for basic information and demonstrations has diminished. Many of the Company's competitors have significantly greater financial, technical and marketing resources than the Company and many of such competitors market their products principally on the basis of price rather than valued-added service. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to continue to compete successfully. DEPENDENCE ON KEY PERSONNEL The Company is dependent upon several key executives and operating personnel, including Ronald G. Farrell, Chairman of the Board of Directors, Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company; and Frank H. Slovenec, President of Systems. The loss of any of these individuals could have an adverse effect on the Company. Although the Company has entered into employment agreements with each of these individuals, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to retain their respective services or attract new qualified personnel, if required. The Company has a $2.0 million in life insurance policy on the life of Mr. Farrell. The Board of Directors has also authorized the purchase of a $1.0 million life insurance policy on the life of Mr. Slovenec. The Company will be the beneficiary of 50% of the face amount and the officers' designees will be the beneficiaries of the remaining 50% for each policy. CONTROLLING STOCKHOLDERS The Company's executive officers and directors beneficially own 53.1% of the Company's voting stock, including 240,900 shares of Common Stock subject to immediately exercisable options. If such stockholders were to vote all of their shares in a similar manner, they would be able to effectively control the vote of stockholders with respect to certain fundamental corporate transactions involving the Company, as well as the election of the Company's directors. ABSENCE OF PRIOR ESTABLISHED PUBLIC MARKET Prior to June 21, 1996, there was no active public market for the Common Stock. Although the Common Stock has been traded on the Nasdaq National SmallCap Market under the symbol "CICC" since June 21, 1996, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to maintain such listing or that an active public trading market will develop for the Common Stock, or if developed, that such market will be sustained. 7 10 CRITERIA FOR NASDAQ SECURITIES; DISCLOSURE RELATING TO LOW-PRICE STOCKS The Common Stock has been qualified for listing on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market. The initial listing criteria for inclusion on such market include that a company have at least $4 million in total assets, $2 million in stockholders equity, $1 million market value of the public float, 300 shareholders, two authorized Nasdaq market-makers and a minimum bid price of $3.00 per share. No assurance can be given that the Company's Common Stock will in the future continue to qualify on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market. In addition, the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD"), which administers Nasdaq, requires that, in order to continue to be included on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market, a company must maintain $2 million in total assets, a $200,000 market value of the public float and $1 million in total capital and surplus. Continued inclusion also requires two authorized Nasdaq market-makers and a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share; provided, however, that if a company falls below such minimum bid price, it will remain eligible for continued inclusion in Nasdaq if the market value of the public float is at least $1 million and the company has $2 million in capital and surplus. The failure to meet these maintenance criteria in the future may result in the discontinuance of any future inclusion of the Company's Common Stock on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market. In such event, trading, if any, in the Common Stock may then continue to be conducted in the non-Nasdaq over-the-counter market in what are commonly referred to as the "pink sheets" or on the OTC Electronic Bulletin Board. As a result of trading in the non-Nasdaq over-the-counter market, an investor may find it more difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of, the Common Stock. In addition, sale of the Company's securities would be subject to a rule promulgated by the Commission that would impose various sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell securities governed by the rule to persons other than established customers and accredited investors, if the Company, or its securities, fail to meet certain criteria set forth in such rule. For these types of transactions, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and have received the purchaser's written consent to the transactions prior to sale. As a result, the rule may have an adverse effect on the ability of broker-dealers to sell the Common Stock. The Commission has adopted regulations which define a "penny stock" to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions, including one for securities authorized for quotation on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require the delivery, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, of a disclosure schedule prepared by the Commission relating to the penny stock market. Disclosure also has to be made about commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, and about current quotations for the securities. Finally, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks. As a result, the rule may have an adverse effect on the ability of broker-dealers to sell the Common Stock. VOLATILITY OF COMMON STOCK PRICE The stock market has experienced significant price and volume fluctuations in recent years and there has been significant volatility in the market prices of securities of computer distributors and manufacturers. The trading price of the Common Stock may also be subject to significant fluctuations in response to variations in operating results. Various factors and events, including announcements by the Company, its suppliers or its competitors concerning technological innovations or new commercial products, as well as public concern about the stability of the economy in general, may have a significant impact on the trading price of the Common Stock. The sale or attempted sale of a large amount of the Common Stock into the market may also have a significant impact on the trading price of the Common Stock. ABSENCE OF DIVIDENDS The Company has never paid any dividends on its Common Stock and does not contemplate or anticipate distributing any cash dividends with respect to the Common Stock in the foreseeable future. Pursuant to the Company's credit facility with its principal lender, the Company is prohibited from paying any dividends on its Common Stock. 8 11 SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE Assuming conversion of the Series D and Series E Preferred Stock, the Company will have 8,189,850 shares of Common Stock outstanding. The Company has reserved 1,050,000 shares for issuance upon the exercise of options granted under the 1994 Stock Option Plan, as amended (the "Plan"), of which 975,000 options have been granted and 530,000 options are immediately exercisable. Options to purchase the remaining 75,000 shares of Common Stock have been allocated for future grants to employees. The Company has also reserved 55,000 shares for issuance upon the exercise of certain warrants. Of the total shares of Common Stock to be issued and outstanding upon such conversions, a total of 8,774,850 shares of Common Stock will be freely tradeable, without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act, including 8,089,999 shares of Common Stock registered in this offering and 150,001 shares of Common Stock previously registered by the Company's predecessor, NEG. The Company has filed a registration statement on Form S-8 under the Act to register all shares of common stock issuable pursuant to the Plan with the Commission on May 21, 1996 and such registration statement was effective upon filing. Shares covered by that registration statement are eligible for immediate resale in the public markets. AUTHORIZATION OF PREFERRED STOCK The Company's Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of "blank check" preferred stock with such designations, rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Board of Directors. Accordingly, the Board of Directors is empowered, without stockholder approval, to issue preferred stock with dividend, liquidation, conversion, redemption, voting or other rights which could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of the Company's Common Stock. In the event of issuance, the preferred stock could be utilized, under certain circumstances, as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company, making removal of the present management of the Company more difficult or resulting in restrictions upon the payment of dividends or other distributions to the holders of Common Stock. The possible impact on takeover attempts could adversely affect the price of the Common Stock. As of the date of this Prospectus, the Company had authorized 40,000 shares of Series A, 9% Cumulative Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock, none of which is issued and outstanding; 250 shares of Series B, Convertible Preferred Stock, none of which is issued and outstanding (125 shares were converted on July 21, 1994 into 500,000 shares of Common Stock); 250 shares of Series C, 9% Cumulative Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock, none of which is issued and outstanding; 40,000 shares of Series D, 9% Cumulative Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock, of which 19,250 shares (convertible into 770,000 shares of Common Stock) are issued and outstanding; and 250 shares of Series E, 9% Cumulative Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock, of which 125 shares (convertible into 500,000 shares of Common Stock) are issued and outstanding. Although the Company has no present intention to issue any additional shares of its preferred stock, there can be no assurance that the Company will not do so in the future. 9 12 USE OF PROCEEDS The Company will not receive any proceeds from the sale of Common Stock offered hereby by the Selling Stockholders. DIVIDEND POLICY The Company has never paid any dividends on its Common Stock. The Company does not intend to pay any dividends in the foreseeable future; rather, the Company intends to retain earnings to provide funds for the operation and expansion of its business. Pursuant to the revolving credit agreement between the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, CIC, and its principal lender, CIC's ability to transfer funds to the Company, and the resulting availability of funds to the Company for the payment of dividends, is restricted to the payment of dividends on the Company's preferred stock; and, therefore, the Company's ability to pay dividends on its Common Stock is effectively prohibited. STOCK PERFORMANCE Prior to June 21, 1996, there was no active public market for the Company's Common Stock. The Common Stock has been traded on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market under the symbol "CICC" since June 21, 1996. On July 30, 1996, the last reported sales price of the Common Stock on Nasdaq was $1.6875 per share. 10 13 SELLING STOCKHOLDERS The names of all of the holders of the Company's Common Stock who may be or become eligible to sell Shares pursuant to this Prospectus are not presently known to the Company.

Such shares of Common Stock may be sold from time to time by any of the Selling Shareholders or by pledgees, donees, transferees or other successors in interest, directly to purchasers, in one or more transactions (which may involve one or more block transactions) on the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Automated Quotation System SmallCap Market (the "NASDAQ"), in sales occurring in the public market of the NASDAQ, in separately negotiated transactions or in a combination of such transactions, at market prices prevailing at the time of such sale, at prices related to such prevailing prices or at prices otherwise negotiated. The Selling Shareholders may be limited in the amount of shares of Common Stock which they may sell during any three month period as a result of the volume limitations contained in Section 144 of the Exchange Act. The amount of shares of Common Stock which may be sold by each of the Selling Shareholders within any three month period may not exceed the greater of (i) one percent of the shares of Common Stock of the Company outstanding as shown by the most recent periodic report filed by the Company; or (ii) the average weekly reported volume of trading in shares of Common Stock on NASDAQ during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of the forms required under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (or if no such notice is required, the date of receipt of the order by a broker-dealer to execute the transaction directly with a market maker), or (iii) the average weekly volume of trading in the shares of Common Stock reported through the consolidated transaction reporting system under the Exchange Act during such four week period. The Selling Shareholders may effect such transactions by selling the shares to or through broker- dealers and such broker-dealers may receive compensation in the form of underwriting discounts, concessions or commissions from the Selling Shareholders and/or the purchasers of the shares for whom such broker-dealers may act as agent (which compensation may be less than or in excess of customary commissions). The Selling Shareholders and any broker-dealers that participate in the distribution of the shares may be deemed "underwriters" within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act and any commissions received by them and any profit on the resale of the shares sold by them may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. Upon the Company being notified by a Selling Shareholder that any material arrangement has been entered into with a broker-dealer for the sale of shares of Common Stock through a block trade, a special offering, exchange distribution or secondary distribution or a purchase by a broker or dealer, a supplemental prospectus will be filed, if required, pursuant to Rule 424(c) of the Securities Act, disclosing (i) the name of each such Selling Shareholder and of the participating broker-dealer(s), (ii) the number of shares involved, (iii) the price at which such shares were sold, (iv) the commissions paid or discounts or concessions allowed to such broker-dealer(s), where applicable, (v) that such broker-dealer(s) did not conduct any investigation to verify the information set out or incorporated by reference in this Prospectus and (vi) other facts material to the transaction. There can be no assurances that any of the Selling Shareholders will sell any or all of the shares of Common Stock offered by them hereunder. 12 15 The Company has agreed to indemnify the Selling Stockholders against certain liabilities, including certain liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). Additionally, the Company will pay the expenses, estimated to be approximately $15,000, in connection with this Offering, other than transfer taxes, discounts, commissions, fees or expenses of underwriters, selling brokers, dealer managers or similar securities industry professionals relating to the distribution of the Shares, or legal expenses of any person other than the Company. The Company has advised the Selling Stockholders that during such time as they may be engaged in a distribution of Shares included herein, they are required to comply with Rules 10b-6 and 10b-7 (as those Rules are described in more detail below) under the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") and, in connection therewith, that they may not engage in any stabilization activity in connection with the Company's securities, are required to furnish to each broker-dealer, through which Shares included herein may be offered, copies of this Prospectus, and may not bid for or purchase any of the Company's securities except as permitted under the Exchange Act. The Selling Stockholders have agreed to inform the Company when the distribution of the Shares is completed. Rule 10b-6 under the Exchange Act prohibits, with certain exceptions, participants in a distribution from bidding for or purchasing, for an account in which the participant has a beneficial interest, any of the securities that are the subject of the distribution. Rule 10b-7 governs bids and purchases made in order to stabilize the price of a security in connection with a distribution of the security. In order to comply with certain state securities laws, if applicable, certain shares of Common Stock offered hereby by affiliates of the Company may be sold in such jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In certain states, such shares of Common Stock may not be sold unless such shares of Common Stock have been registered or qualified for sale in such states or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is complied with. The public offering of the Shares by the Selling Stockholders will terminate on the earlier of (a) 36 months from the effective date, (b) the date on which all Shares offered hereby have been sold by the Selling Stockholders or (c) as otherwise required by law. The Selling Stockholders have agreed to discontinue disposition of the Shares upon receipt of notice from the Company of: (1) any request by the Commission for amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or Prospectus; (2) the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or initiation of any proceedings for that purpose; (3) the representations and warranties of the Company, contained in agreements executed in conjunction with the registration of the Stock, ceasing to be true and correct; (4) the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Stock for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; (5) the happening of any event as a result of which the Prospectus contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; (6) the Company's reasonable determination that a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement would be appropriate or that there exist circumstances not yet disclosed to the public which make further sales under the Registration Statement inadvisable pending such disclosure and post-effective amendment; and (7) the Company's possession of material information that it deems advisable not to disclose in a Registration Statement. 13 16 INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS The Company, a Delaware corporation, has included in its Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws provisions to (i) eliminate the personal liability of its directors for monetary damages resulting from breaches of their fiduciary duty, provided that such provision does not eliminate liability for breaches of the duty of loyalty, acts or omissions not in good faith or which involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, violations under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law or for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit and (ii) indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware corporation law. The Company believes that these provisions are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers. The Company has obtained a director and officer liability insurance policy with a policy limit of $2 million for the benefit of its directors and officers. Under the policy, such persons are insured against certain liabilities incurred in the discharge of their duties solely in their capacity as directors and officers of the Company. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Company, the Company has been informed that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable. LEGAL MATTERS The validity of the issuance of the Common Stock offered hereby has been passed upon for the Company by Holland & Knight, Fort Lauderdale, Florida. EXPERTS The consolidated financial statements and the related financial statement schedules of Computer Integration Corp. and the statements of income and retained earnings and cash flows and the related financial statement schedule of Copley Systems Corporation appearing in Computer Integration Corp.'s Annual Report (Form 10-K) for the year ended June 30, 1995, have been audited by Ernst & Young LLP, independent auditors, as set forth in their reports thereon included therein and incorporated herein by reference.

Not applicable. ITEM 5. INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL. Not applicable. ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS. Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the "Delaware Law") grants each corporation organized thereunder the power to indemnify any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise, against expenses (including attorney's fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation), by reason of being or having been in any such capacity, if he acted in good faith in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or II-1 19 proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware Law enables a corporation in its certificate of incorporation, or an amendment thereto validly approved by its stockholders, to limit or eliminate the personal liability of the members of its board of directors for violation of the director's fiduciary duty or care. Article 10 of the Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation contains the following provision with respect to the liability of the Registrant's directors to the Registrant: A director of the corporation shall not be personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director except for liability (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived any improper personal benefit. The Registrant has obtained directors and officers liability insurance. In addition to covering directors and officers of the Registrant, the insurance also insures the Registrant against amounts paid by it to indemnify directors and officers. ITEM 7.

UNDERTAKINGS. (a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes: (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement; (i) to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933; (ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) (Section 230.424(b) of this chapter) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement. [Amended in Release No. 33-7168 (Paragraph 85,420), effective June 7, 1995, 60 FR 26604.] II-2 20 (iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement; Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3, Form S-8 or Form F-3, and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement. (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at the time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. (b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement 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 and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. II-3 21 SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Boca Raton, State of Florida, on July 30, 1996.
