                                ABOUT DIVERSINET

     Diversinet  Corp.  (formerly  The  Instant  Publisher  Inc.)  was formed on
December  8,  1993  through  the amalgamation of The Instant Publisher Inc. with
Lombard  Consolidated  Resources Inc., an Ontario corporation.  We are regulated
in  accordance  with  the  Ontario  Business  Corporation  Act.

     Our  company  was  formed  under the laws of Ontario, Canada. Our principal
executive offices are located at 2225 Sheppard Avenue East, Suite 1700, Toronto,
Ontario,  M2J  5C2,  Canada.  Our  telephone  number  is  (416)  756-2324.

              OUR PRODUCTS HAVE NOT GENERATED CONTINUING REVENUES

     We  are  a  security  software  product  company that develops, markets and
distributes  PKI  security solutions that provide for the secure transmission of
data  over  wireless networks and devices.  Our solution encompasses all aspects
of commercial transaction security requirements, covering the authentication and
authorization  of  individuals  involved, the integrity of the information being
sent  and  the  non-repudiation  or  legalization  of  the  transaction.

     We  are  a  pioneer in providing security products for mobile commerce over
wireless  networks  and  are striving to become the leading provider of wireless
security  solutions.  Our strategy to achieve this objective involves: targeting
emerging  m-commerce markets, expanding strategic partnerships and sales channel
relationships,  maintaining  a  leadership  position  in  terms  of products and
research  and  development  and  building  awareness  of  the  Diversinet brand.

     We  develop  and  license  the  Passport Certificate Server(R) and Passport
Authorization  Product', which is computer software that provides for the secure
transmission  of  data  over wireless networks as well as various other kinds of
networks,  including  corporate  networks,  telecommunications  systems  and the
Internet. The transmission of data over these networks is known as "e-commerce".

     The  Passport  Certificate Server(R) verifies the identities of the parties
to  an  e-commerce  transmission through the use of digital certificates so that
unauthorized  persons  cannot  intercept  its  contents.

     The  Passport  Authorization  Product(TM)  issues  Digital Permits that are
linked  to  the  holder's digital certificate. The Digital Permit is designed to
allow  digital  certificates  to  serve additional functions such as authorizing
users  to  perform  specific  tasks  once they have accessed a given network. We
believe  that  the Passport Certificate Server(R) and the Passport Authorization
Product(TM)  offer  a  unique  approach  to facilitating and securing commercial
transactions  and  data  transmissions  over  these  networks.

                            SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

     Our  selected financial data for the six-month periods ended April 30, 2002
and  2001,  and  the  fiscal years ended October 31, 2001, 2000, 1999, 1998, and
1997 are derived from our financial statements and should be read in conjunction
with  our  consolidated  financial  statements  and  the  accompanying  notes
incorporated  by  reference  into this prospectus.  Our financial statements are
expressed  in  Canadian  dollars.  All  financial  information  contained in the
prospectus  is  presented  in Canadian dollars except where otherwise indicated.
The  exchange  rate  of  the U.S. dollar to the Canadian dollar was CDN $1.57 to
U.S.  $1.00  as  of  April  22,  2002.



                                        2

     Our  financial  statements  have  been prepared in accordance with Canadian
GAAP.  These  principles  conform in all material respects with U.S. GAAP except
as  described  in  Note  17  to our 2001 consolidated financial statements.  The
differences between line items under Canadian GAAP and those as determined under
U.S. GAAP are not significant except that, under U.S. GAAP, our total loss would
be greater by $56,000 for the year ended October 31, 2001, greater by $1,549,000
for  the  year  ended  October  31,  2000  and  less by $179,000, $4,131,000 and
$5,001,000  for  the  years ended October 31, 1999, October 31, 1998 and October
31,  1997,  respectively.  Under  U.S.  GAAP,  total  assets  would  be  less by
$4,913,000  for the year ended October 31, 1997, primarily due to the difference
in  accounting  treatment  of  the  $10 million of technology purchased in 1996.
Under  U.S.  GAAP  share  capital  would be greater and deficit would be less by
$41,249,000  for  each  of the years due to a reduction in stated capital offset
against  accumulated  shareholders'  deficit in March of 1999.  The value of the
U.S.  Dollar  in  relation to the Canadian Dollar is 1.58 to 1.00 at October 31,
2001.

     RISK  FACTORS

     The  common  shares  offered  by this prospectus are speculative, involve a
high  degree  of  risk and should only be purchased by persons who can afford to
lose  their  entire  investment.  You  should  therefore  carefully  review  the
following  risk  factors,  as  well  as  all  of  the  other information in this
prospectus,  before  investing  in  the  securities  offered by this prospectus.

     RISKS  RELATING  TO  OUR  BUSINESS

     WE  HAVE  LOST  MONEY  IN  THE PAST, WE HAVE REALIZED MINIMAL REVENUES FROM
CONTINUING OPERATIONS AND WE EXPECT TO CONTINUE TO SUSTAIN LOSSES IN THE FUTURE.
We  have  generated  minimal revenue to date from the licensing of our products.
For  the  six  months  ended April 30, 2002, we posted a net loss of $3,788,000.
For the year ended October 31, 2001, we posted a net loss of $18,900,000 and for
October  31,  2000,  we  posted  a net loss of $15,027,000.  For the years ended
October  31,  1999  and  October  31, 1998, we had net losses of $14,111,000 and
$8,404,000,  respectively.  We  generated  licensing revenue of $486,000 for the
six  months  ended  April  30, 2002 and $1,221,000 in the year ended October 31,
2001,  $2,636,000 in the year ended October 31, 2000, $246,000 in the year ended
October  31,  1999  and  nil  in  the  year ended October 31, 1998.  The revenue
represents  the  initial  licensing  of  our  Passport Certificate Server(R) and
Passport  Authorization Product(TM) together with related professional services.
During  the  2000  fiscal  year, 24% of revenue was generated from one customer.
During  the  2001  fiscal  year,  40% of revenue was generated from one customer
although  not  the  same  customer  as  in  fiscal 2000.  To date, licensing our
products  to  various  customers  and  providing  them with related professional
services has generated our revenues.  We cannot provide assurance that recurring
revenues  will arise from these license agreements.  The auditors' report on our
October  31,  2001  consolidated  financial  statements  includes an explanatory
paragraph  that  states  that  conditions and events exist that cast substantial
doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.  The consolidated
financial  statements  do not include any adjustments that might result from the
outcome  of  that  uncertainty.

     COMMERCIAL  DEPLOYMENT.  Our  ability  to  continue  operations  is  also
dependent  on  the  acceptance  of  our  security  products  and the adoption of
transaction-based  applications  using  Public Key Infrastructure-based security
(also known in the industry as PKI) over wireless networks as an accepted method
of  commerce in sufficient volume for us to generate enough revenues to fund our
expenses  and  capital requirements. The wireless mobile commerce market is in a
very  early  stage,  and it may not develop to a sufficient level to support our
business.

     Our  products  are marketed to large companies and government agencies. The
implementation  of  our  products by these entities typically involves a lengthy
education  process  and  a  significant  technical  evaluation and commitment of
capital  and other resources. This process is also subject to the risk of delays
associated with customers' internal budgeting and other procedures for approving
large capital expenditures, deploying new technologies within their networks and
testing  and accepting new technologies that affect key operations. As a result,
the associated sales and implementation cycles can be lengthy. Our quarterly and
annual  operating  results could be materially harmed if orders forecasted for a
specific  customer  for  a  particular  quarter  are  not  realized.

     PRODUCT  AND MARKET CONDITIONS.  The general economic conditions may have a
significant  impact  on  our  ability to generate sales for our products. During
fiscal 2001, we experienced decreased activity from our potential customers, and
generally,  the  adoption  of  wireless services has not proceeded as rapidly as
previously expected. As a result, our revenue declined significantly from fiscal
2000  levels  and  may  decline  even  further  in  the  near  future.

     FOREIGN  EXCHANGE.  Our  functional currency is the Canadian dollar.  Sales
generated  outside  Canada  are  generally  denominated in U.S. dollars.  During
fiscal  2001,  we incurred most of our expenses in Canadian dollars, but we also
incurred  a  significant portion of our expenses in foreign currencies including
U.S.  dollars,  Pounds  Sterling and Hong Kong dollars.  Changes in the value of
these  currencies  relative  to the Canadian dollar may result in currency gains
and  losses that may have an adverse effect on our operating results. During the
year,  we  maintained  a  portion  of  our  cash  resources  in U.S. dollar term
deposits.  Upon  completion  of  our  cost reductions during September 2001, our
exposure  to  U.S.  expenses  was  significantly reduced, and we transferred our
remaining  U.S.  dollar  cash  resources  to Canadian dollar deposits.  With the
completion  of  this  recent  private  placement,  we  now have a portion of our
available  cash  resources  in  both  Canadian  and  U.S.  dollars.


                                        5

     WE  MAY NOT BE SUCCESSFUL IF WE FAIL TO RETAIN OUR KEY TECHNICAL PERSONNEL.
During  September  2001  we  substantially  reduced  our headcount and curtailed
certain  sales  and  marketing  activities,  particularly  in the United States.
Substantial  workforce reductions may have a detrimental effect on the morale of
remaining employees, impeding their performance levels. In addition, our ability
to  attract  potential  new employees in the future may suffer if our reputation
was  hurt  by  this  staff  reduction.

     We currently have four senior officers and 38 employees and contractors. We
may not be able to improve our products or create new products if we lose any of
our  key employees or contractors. The contract with our CEO, Mr. Nagy Moustafa,
has  a  term  of  five  years,  commencing September 29, 1997. None of our other
employment  agreements  has a specified term. We do not maintain key person life
insurance  policies  on any of our employees. Skilled technical personnel can be
difficult  to  attract  depending on the strength of the economy and competitive
opportunities.  We  may  not  be  able  to  retain our current employees if they
receive  better job offers from other employers. The weakened economy throughout
2001  and  into  2002  may  not  alleviate  this  risk  in  the  future.

     WE  ARE  INVOLVED  IN LITIGATION WHICH COULD RESULT IN JUDGMENTS AGAINST US
WHICH,  IN  THE  AGGREGATE,  COULD  TOTAL MORE THAN OUR COMBINED CURRENT ASSETS,
WORKING  CAPITAL  AND  NET  ASSETS.  There  are  currently three material claims
pending  against  us.  If  we  lose any of these suits or enter into settlements
requiring  us  to  pay cash or issue any of our common shares, our liquidity and
financial  position  will  be adversely affected and our shareholders' ownership
may  be  diluted.

     We  have been sued, along with other individuals and corporations, by Silva
Run  Worldwide  Ltd.  in  connection with Silva Run's purchase of 212,500 common
shares (850,000 common shares prior to a one for four reverse split in May 1997)
in 1995 for a purchase price of U.S. $3,700,000.  Silva Run is seeking to cancel
the stock purchase and reimbursement of the U.S. $3,700,000 purchase price, plus
interest, attorneys' fees and costs.  Silva Run has alleged that we, directly or
as  the control person of other defendants, violated the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended, and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  This claim has
previously  been  dismissed  twice,  and  we have filed a motion to dismiss this
claim  again.

     In  May 2000 we were sued, along with our wholly-owned Barbados subsidiary,
Instant  Publisher  LtdThe  plaintiff is seeking damages of U.S. $1,533,950 for
breach  of  an  October  25,  1995  dealer  agreement with our previous printing
business  regarding  the distribution of printing equipment, and damages of U.S.
$25,000,000  for  loss  of  reputation and loss of opportunity, pre-judgment and
post-judgment  interest,  and  costs.

     In  January  2001  we  were served with notice of a complaint in the United
States  District  Court,  District of Nevada by Jason Lyons, who alleges that he
acted as a finder of individuals or entities interested in making investments in
us  and  was  promised  cash  compensation  in  the  amount of U.S. $70,000.  In
addition,  Mr.  Lyons  claims  that  he  was  subsequently  promised warrants to
purchase  100,000  freely  tradable  shares of common stock of Diversinet at the
then-market  price  for  such  shares.  Mr.  Lyons is seeking an order directing
Diversinet  to  issue  him warrants to purchase 100,000 shares at U.S. $1.06 per
share  and  damages of at least U.S. $4,800,000, in addition to his costs of the
action.  On  April  3,  2002, we succeeded on our motion for summary judgment on
the  grounds  that  Nevada  was  an  improper  jurisdiction  for  this  action.

     WE  HAVE  LIMITED  EXPERIENCE  IN  THE  WIRELESS INTERNET SECURITY SOFTWARE
FIELD,  AND  WE  ARE  THEREFORE  SUBJECT TO RISKS INHERENT IN ESTABLISHING A NEW
BUSINESS.  We  have  only  been in the wireless Internet security software field
since  fiscal  1997,  and we have generated minimal revenues from this business.
We are not sufficiently established to fully evaluate or forecast our prospects,
and  we  are  subject  to  the  risks  inherent  in  establishing a new business
enterprise.

     WE  ARE  DEPENDENT  ON  THE ADOPTION OF TRANSACTION-BASED APPLICATIONS OVER
WIRELESS  NETWORKS AS AN ACCEPTED METHOD OF COMMERCE. In order for Diversinet to
be  successful,  transaction-based  applications  using  Public  Key
Infrastructure-based  security (also known in the industry as PKI) over wireless
networks  must  be  adopted  as a means of trusted and secure communications and
commerce to a sufficient extent and within a reasonable time frame, particularly
considering  our  existing  financial  resources and future capital needs. Since
trusted  and  secure  communications and commerce over these networks is new and
evolving,  it is difficult to predict with any assurance the size of this market
and  its  growth  rate,  if  any.


                                        6

     If  the market for trusted and secure communications and commerce utilizing
PKI  over these networks fails to develop or develops more slowly than expected,
we  may  have  difficulty  selling products or generating sufficient revenues to
support  our  business.

     OUR  ABILITY TO KEEP PACE WITH THE RAPID TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGES AND FREQUENT
NEW  PRODUCT  INTRODUCTIONS  COMMON  IN  THE  ELECTRONIC  COMMERCE INDUSTRY WILL
DETERMINE  OUR  ABILITY  TO  REMAIN  COMPETITIVE AND AFFECT THE VIABILITY OF OUR
PRODUCTS.  To succeed in the mobile e-commerce business, we believe that we will
have  to  continuously  improve the performance, features and reliability of our
products  and  be  the  first to the market with new products or enhancements to
existing  products.  We cannot provide assurance that we will be able to improve
our  products in a timely manner.  The emerging market for security products for
mobile e-commerce is characterized by rapid technological developments, frequent
new  product  introductions and evolving industry standards.  We anticipate this
evolution  to  also  occur in the mobile e-commerce market in which we focus our
technological  developments.  The  adoption  of  new  standards, or the informal
adoption  of  certain  standards  by  a  significant  percentage of the computer
security  and  related industries, could require us to reconfigure our products.
We may not be able to counter challenges to our current products or to introduce
product  offerings  that  keep pace with the technological changes introduced by
competitors  or  persons  seeking  to  breach  information security.  We are not
currently  aware of any significant new technologies either under development or
about  to  be  introduced  in  the  mobile  e-commerce  security  field.

     THE  HIGHLY  COMPETITIVE  NATURE  OF  THE  ELECTRONIC  COMMERCE FIELD COULD
PREVENT  US  FROM  ACHIEVING  SUCCESS.  Our products are targeted at the new and
rapidly  evolving  market  for  authentication  and  authorization  products for
wireless electronic commerce and telecommunications.  This market is not mature.
We anticipate that it will be intensely competitive, subject to rapid change and
significantly affected by new product and service introductions and other market
activities  of  industry  participants.  Many  of  our competitors and potential
competitors  have  a  longer operating history, greater name recognition, larger
installed  customer  base  and  significantly  greater  financial, technical and
marketing  resources  than we have.  As a result, they may be able to adapt more
quickly  to  new  or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements,
and  they  could  therefore  render  our  technologies  and  products  obsolete.

     Because  of  the  broad  potential  application  of  our authentication and
authorization  software,  we  compete  with  vendors  offering  a  wide range of
computer  security  products.  These  competitors  include Entrust Technologies,
VeriSign,  Certicom, Baltimore Technologies, Sonera SmartTrust and RSA Security.
There  also may be other potential entrants to the market of whom we are not yet
aware.

     OUR  LICENSING  REVENUES ARE DEPENDENT ON OUR CUSTOMERS' ACCEPTANCE AND USE
OF  OUR  SOFTWARE PRODUCTS AND WE EXPECT OUR SALES CYCLE TO BE LENGTHY.  Many of
our  early  licensing agreements permitted our customers to examine and test our
products  with  no  initial  up-front  payments  to us.  These customers are not
required  to  make  payments  to  us  until  they  begin  to use our product for
commercial purposes.  We also enter into evaluation agreements in certain cases,
whereby  potential  customers  may examine our software products for a specified
period  of  time  with  no  payment  to  us.  Our  current  licensing agreements
typically require the customer to pay a license fee attributable to the software
components  and  the development toolkit and upon shipment of these items to the
customer,  although  until early in fiscal 2000 we generally waived the up-front
fee.

     Customers  cannot  simply  license  our  products  and  begin  using  them
immediately  in  their  businesses.  Making  our products work with a particular
customer's  application  may  be  a complex, expensive and, in certain cases, an
ultimately  unsuccessful process.  This process may also require the customer to
make  significant  commitments of time and money.  Based on discussions with our
customers,  we  believe  that  a  customer's required cycle of testing, internal
approval  and  network  modifications  can  reasonably take between six and nine
months  or  longer.  Therefore,  we  expect our sales cycle, or the time between
entering  into  a  license  agreement  and  when  we  begin to receive recurring
revenue, to be six to nine months or longer.  Also, the amount of revenue can be
very  limited  until  the  customer's  product  is  made generally available and
adopted.  Our  sales  are  also  subject to significant risks over which we have
little  or  no  control, including customers' budgetary constraints and internal
acceptance  procedures  regarding  security-related  matters.

     TWO  MAJOR  ENCRYPTION TECHNOLOGY VENDORS SERVICE OUR AREA OF BUSINESS, AND
IF  WE FAIL TO CONTINUE TO LICENSE ENCRYPTION TECHNOLOGY FROM EITHER OF THEM, IT
WOULD  CAUSE  A  SIGNIFICANT  DISRUPTION  TO  OUR BUSINESS.  Our current product


                                        7

offerings include encryption technology that we source from third-party vendors.
We currently license encryption technology from Certicom Corp. and RSA Security,
two  encryption  technology  vendors who service the wireless and the e-commerce
security  market.  The term of each of the licensing arrangements is open-ended.
Encryption  technology  is  currently  available from other vendors; however, if
either  of  our agreements are terminated for any reason and we could not obtain
sufficient  encryption  technology  from the other vendor, or if both agreements
were  terminated,  we  would  have  to  license  encryption  technology  from an
alternative  vendor.  Accordingly,  if  both  current agreements were terminated
there  might  be  a  disruption  to  our  business.

     Our  success will depend in part on our continued ability to have access to
these and other technologies that are important to our existing products and may
become important to products we may develop in the future.  We cannot be certain
that we will be able to procure or use any necessary technology on terms similar
to  existing  licenses.

     WE  LACK EXPERIENCE IN MARKETING AND SALES, AND DEPEND ON OUR RELATIONSHIPS
WITH  MORE  ESTABLISHED  CORPORATIONS  TO  ASSIST  IN  MARKETING AND SELLING OUR
PRODUCT.  We  have  limited  sales and marketing experience and limited money to
fund  marketing.  A  significant  part  of  our  business  strategy  is  to form
strategic  relationships  with more established companies to expose our products
to a larger customer base than we could reach through direct sales and marketing
force.  Our existing relationships have not resulted in any significant revenues
to  date  and  may not result in any revenues in the future.  Our existing sales
force generated all of our sales in fiscal 2001 and through our first quarter in
2002.

     As  a  result  of  our  emphasis  on  these relationships, our success will
partially depend on both the ultimate success of the third parties with which we
have  these  relationships  and the ability of these third parties to market our
products  and  services  successfully.

     In  the  past,  we  have  concentrated  our  sales  efforts  marketing  to
application  service  providers.  This  strategy  has  lead  to  no  commercial
deployments.  As  a  result  and  due  to some success experienced by us in Hong
Kong,  we  are  focussing  our  efforts  on  working  to establish the necessary
infrastructure  first.  We  have  jointly  developed Mobile e-Cert with Hongkong
Post.  Hongkong  Post  will  support  the  Mobile  e-Certs  through  its  Mobile
Certification  Authority  and  mobile  operators  will  act  as the Registration
Authorities for the authentication of the identity of Mobile e-Cert subscribers.
Hongkong  Post  is  the  first recognized public Certification Authority in Hong
Kong.  Hutchinson, the largest and the leading mobile operator in Hong Kong, has
been  appointed  the first certified Registration Authority for the registration
of  Hongkong  Post  Mobile  e-Cert  digital  certificates  to mobile users. This
appointment also marks the first time worldwide a mobile operator is acting as a
Registration  Authority for the issuance of wireless digital certificates. After
this  was  successfully  accomplished,  we  have  been  working with application
service  providers  who  will  develop  applications that will have our software
embedded  and  will  utilize  Mobile  e-Cert.

     We  cannot provide assurance that we will be able to enter into additional,
or  maintain  our  existing,  strategic relationships on commercially reasonable
terms, if at all.  Our failure to do so would require us to devote substantially
more  resources  to  the  distribution,  sales and marketing of our products and
services.  Also,  these  strategic  relationships do not afford us any exclusive
marketing  or  distribution  rights.  The  third  parties  may  reduce  their
commitments  to  us  in  the  future  or  pursue  alternative  technologies.

     THE  NATURE  OF  OUR  PRODUCTS  SUBJECTS  US  TO  PRODUCTS LIABILITY RISKS,
POTENTIAL  LOST  REVENUES AND ADVERSE PUBLICITY IN THE EVENT OF PRODUCT FAILURE.
Our  customers  may  rely  on  our  products  to  prevent unauthorized access to
computer  networks.  Malfunctions  or  design  defects  of  our  products could:
     -    cause  interruptions, delays or cessation of services to our customers
     -    result  in  product  returns
     -    result  in liability for damages that exceeds our errors and omissions
          insurance  coverage  of  U.S.  $1,000,000  per  occurrence  and  U.S.
          $2,000,000  in  the  aggregate  annually
     -    adversely  affect  the  market's perception of the security offered by
          our  product,  resulting  in  a  lack  of  demand  for  our  products
     -    require  us  to  make  significant  expenditures  of  capital or other
          resources  to  alleviate  the  problem.


                                        8

     OUR LICENSE AGREEMENTS MAY NOT BE ADEQUATE TO LIMIT OUR LIABILITY.  A large
number  of  claims by our customers could subject us to significant liability as
well  as  limit  the  demand  for  our  products.  In most cases our license and
support  agreements  attempt  to  limit our liability to the total amount of the
licensing  and  support  fees  paid  during the twelve-month period preceding an
alleged error in or failure of our software.  This contractual provision may not
always  be  enforceable.  Courts  have  held  that  contractual  limitations  of
liability  of  this  type,  or  the  "shrink-wrap  licenses"  in  which they are
sometimes  embodied,  are unenforceable because the licensee does not sign them.
If  these  contract  provisions  limiting  our liability are not enforceable, we
could  be  obligated  to pay significant damages resulting from customer claims.

     IF  COMPUTER  HACKERS  FIND  WAYS  TO CIRCUMVENT OUR PRODUCTS, OUR PRODUCTS
WOULD  NOT  PERFORM  THEIR  ESSENTIAL  FUNCTION.  Any compromise of the security
offered  by  our  products, in a single incident or a series of incidents, would
make  our  products less attractive to our customers.  Software error or failure
may result from a hacker seeking unauthorized access to a computer network.  The
methods  used  by  hackers are evolving rapidly and generally are not recognized
until  they  are  launched  against  one  or  more  systems.  We  are  unable to
anticipate  hackers'  tactics.  The  publicity surrounding any security breaches
could  adversely  affect  the  public  perception of the security offered by our
authentication  and  authorization products and make it more difficult for us to
sell  our  products.

     TECHNICAL ADVANCES IN THE INFORMATION SECURITY MARKET MAY MAKE OUR PRODUCTS
OBSOLETE.  Our  products  are  based on PKI technology and depend in part on the
application  of  certain  mathematical  principles  forming  the  basis  of  the
encryption  technology  that  we  license  and  embed  in  our  products.  Any
significant  advance  in  techniques for decoding or cracking encrypted computer
information  could  render  our  products  obsolete  or  unmarketable.

     Our  PKI  products use algorithms, or mathematical formulae, to encrypt and
secure  information.  The security afforded by our products is predicated on the
assumption  that  these mathematical formulae are very difficult to solve.  This
assumption is based on the fact that years of theoretical and empirical research
by  leading mathematicians have not resulted in any efficient solutions to these
problems.  There  can  be  no  assurance, however, that future research will not
uncover  efficient  solutions  to  these  problems.

     Also, even if no breakthrough in solving these problems is discovered, they
may  eventually be solved by computer systems having sufficient speed and power.
If  improved techniques for decoding encrypted information are developed or made
possible  by  the  increased  availability  of powerful computing resources, our
products  could  be  rendered  obsolete.

     WE  MIGHT  NOT  ALWAYS BE ABLE TO ENFORCE OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS.
Our  success depends significantly upon our proprietary technology and our means
of  protecting  our  proprietary  and  intellectual  property  rights may not be
adequate.  We rely on a combination of patent and trademark laws, trade secrets,
confidentiality agreements and contractual provisions to protect our proprietary
rights.  We have two U.S. patents, which will be in effect until at least August
22,  2017,  and one patent granted in Israel in effect until 2021, as well as 14
applications  pending  in  Europe,  Israel, United States and Canada.  We cannot
provide  assurance  that  any of our applications will be approved, that any new
patents  will  be  issued,  that  we  will  develop  proprietary  products  or
technologies  that are subject to patent, that any issued patent will provide us
with  any  competitive  advantages  or  will not be challenged by third parties.
Furthermore,  we  cannot  provide  assurance that the patents of others will not
have  a material adverse effect on our business and operating results.  There is
also  a risk that our competitors will independently develop similar technology,
duplicate  our  products  or  design  around  our  patents or other intellectual
property  rights.

     If  our  technology or products were determined to infringe upon the rights
of  others,  we would be required to obtain licenses to use that technology.  If
we are not able to obtain a license in a timely manner on acceptable terms or at
all,  we  may  have  to  stop  producing  our  product  until  we can develop an
alternative  that  does  not  infringe  the  rights  of  others.

     Patent  disputes  are  common  in technology-related industries.  We cannot
provide assurance that we will have the financial resources to enforce or defend
a  patent  infringement or proprietary rights action.  As the number of products
and  competitors  in  our  target  markets grows, the likelihood of infringement
claims  also  increases.  Any  claims  or  litigation  may be time-consuming and
costly,  cause  product shipment delays or require us to redesign our product or


                                        9

require  us  to enter into royalty or licensing agreements.  Any of these events
could  have  a  material  adverse  effect on our business and operating results.
Despite  our efforts to protect our proprietary rights, unauthorized parties may
attempt  to  copy  aspects of our products or to use our proprietary information
and  software.  In  addition,  the laws of some foreign countries do not protect
proprietary  and  intellectual  property  rights to as great an extent as do the
laws  of  Canada  and  the  United  States.

     THE TERMS OF THE AGREEMENT IN WHICH WE SETTLED TWO LAWSUITS COULD RESULT IN
THE  PLAINTIFFS  HAVING  THE ABILITY TO INFLUENCE CORPORATE DECISIONS BECAUSE OF
THEIR SIGNIFICANT EQUITY POSITION.  Pursuant to a settlement agreement with Moti
Barkan,  Knockagh International Ltd. and others, the following obligations still
remain:

  -   We granted to Knockagh a warrant to purchase 150,000  of our common shares
          at  a  price of U.S. $13.125, which warrant (a) becomes exercisable as
          to  12,500  common  shares  on the last day of each three-month period
          commencing  on November 26, 1999 and (b) expires on November 25, 2004.
  -   On May  15,  2000,  we  issued  to Knockagh a warrant to purchase  263,500
          common  shares  at an exercise price of U.S. $8.594, exercisable as to
          21,958  warrants  in  each  three  month  period following the date of
          issuance.  Such  warrant  will  expire  on  May  15,  2005.

     We  believe  that  Knockagh,  as  of April 23, 2002, holds 1,607,682 of our
common shares, or 4.99% of our outstanding common shares.  If Knockagh exercises
warrants  granted  to  it  in  connection  with  the  settlement,  it  would own
approximately  1,873,888  shares,  or  5.82%  of  our  common  shares  currently
outstanding.  The  exercise  of  those  warrants  will result in dilution to our
existing  shareholders.

     CHANGES  IN  THE  EXPORT  REGULATION  OF  ENCRYPTION-BASED TECHNOLOGIES MAY
RESTRICT  OUR ABILITY TO SELL OR LICENSE OUR PRODUCTS.  Our products are subject
to export controls under Canadian and U.S. laws and regulations.  These laws and
regulations  may  be  revised  from time to time in ways that may materially and
adversely  affect  our  ability  to sell our products abroad or to make products
available  for  sale  or license via international computer networks such as the
Internet,  although  pursuant  to an international treaty, a number of countries
have  relaxed,  or  are  in  the  process  of  relaxing,  their  export rules as
applicable to products of the type licensed by us.  Canadian and U.S. government
controls  on  the  export of encryption technologies which we license from third
parties  and  which are embedded in our products may, if subject to revision, be
amended and subsequently restrict our ability to freely export our products.  As
a result, foreign competitors subject to less stringent export controls on their
products  may  be  able  to  compete  more effectively than we can in the global
information  and  computer  security  market.

     RISKS  RELATING  TO  THE  OFFERING

     OUR  ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION AUTHORIZE US TO ISSUE AN UNLIMITED NUMBER OF
COMMON SHARES, WHICH COULD RESULT IN DILUTION TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS.  Shareholders
may  experience  dilution  because our articles of incorporation authorize us to
issue  an  unlimited  number  of  common  shares,  subject  to regulatory and/or
shareholder approval.  Our shareholders, with the exception of Knockagh, have no
right  to  purchase  additional  common  shares when we issue new shares.  As of
April  5,  2002,  we  had  31,600,584  common  shares  issued  and  outstanding.

     In  addition, our ability to issue an unlimited number of common shares may
have  the  effect  of  delaying, deferring or preventing a takeover attempt by a
third  party  attempting  to  acquire  control  of  us.

     WE  HAVE  LIMITED FINANCIAL RESOURCES.   Our ability to continue operations
during  the  next  fiscal  year  will  be  dependent  on  our  ability to obtain
additional  financing. Although we have made progress in developing our products
and  have completed initial consumer deployments, our revenue from operations is
not  sufficient to cover our operating expenses at present and is unlikely to be
sufficient  within  fiscal  2002.  We  have obtained funding for operations from
private equity placements in the past, raising approximately $47,498,000 through
selling  a  total of 14,598,099 common shares, but there is no assurance we will
be  able to do so again in the near future despite the progress of the business.
As  well,  the  terms  of  new  capital,  if any, may materially dilute existing
shareholders.  Our  failure  to  either raise capital when needed or to generate
revenues  would  leave  us with insufficient resources to continue our business.


                                       10

     IF  OUR  COMMON  SHARES SHOULD BECOME INELIGIBLE FOR CONTINUED QUOTATION ON
THE  NASDAQ SMALLCAP MARKET(SM) OR A PUBLIC TRADING MARKET DOES NOT CONTINUE FOR
ANY  REASON,  HOLDERS  OF  OUR  COMMON SHARES WILL HAVE DIFFICULTY SELLING THEIR
SHARES.  Within  the  eighteen  months  ended October 31, 2001, our net tangible
assets  and  the  bid price for our common shares were very close to the minimum
listing  requirements  of the NASDAQ SmallCap Market(SM); if we fall below these
requirements, the holders of our common shares may have difficulty selling their
shares.  Our  common  shares  have been quoted on the NASDAQ SmallCap Market(SM)
since  June  1995.  Within  the  eighteen  months ended October 31, 2001 our net
tangible  assets  were  as low as U.S. $3,830,000, and the closing bid price for
our  common  shares was as low as U.S. $1.00 during fiscal 2001. NASDAQ requires
that  we  maintain  a  minimum bid price of U.S. $1.00 for continued listing but
allows  a grace period of 180 days. Following this initial grace period, issuers
that  demonstrate  compliance  with  the  core initial listing standards will be
afforded  an  additional 180-day grace period within which to regain compliance.
On March 19, 2002 we received notice from NASDAQ that we had not met the minimum
U.S.  $1.00  per share requirement and may be subject to delisting should, prior
to  September 16, 2002, our share price not close at $1.00 or more for a minimum
of  10  consecutive  trading  days.

     In addition to the foregoing requirement, in order for our common shares to
continue  to  be  listed  on  the  NASDAQ  SmallCap  Market(SM):

     -    We must maintain:
          -    net tangible assets of at least U.S. $2,000,000(1), or
          -    stock holders' equity of at least U.S. $2,500,000, or
          -    a market capitalization of at least U.S. $35,000,000, or
          -    net income in the latest fiscal year or in two of the last three
               fiscal years of at least U.S. $500,000;
     -    Our public float must be at least 500,000 shares;
     -    The market value of our public float must be at least U.S. $1,000,000;
     -    We must have at least two market makers; and
     -    We must have at least 300 round lot shareholders.
     -    Maintain corporate governance including independent directors and an
          Audit Committee.

     As  of April 5, 2002, we met all of these tests. However, we cannot provide
assurance  that  we  will  continue to meet all of these tests.  Failure to meet
these  listing  requirements  would  result  in  our  stock  being  traded on an
unlisted,  less  transparent  market  such  as  the  OTC  Bulletin  Board.

     OUR  COMMON  SHARES  MAY  CONTINUE  TO  BE PENNY STOCK, WHICH MAY ADVERSELY
AFFECT  THE  LIQUIDITY  OF  OUR  COMMON  SHARES.  The  Securities  and  Exchange
Commission  has  adopted  regulations that define a penny stock to be any equity
security  that has a market price, as defined in those regulations, of less than
U.S.  $5.00  per  share,  subject  to certain exceptions.  Our common shares are
currently  penny  stock.

     Generally,  for any transaction involving a penny stock, a broker-dealer is
required to deliver, prior to the transaction, a disclosure schedule relating to
the penny stock market as well as disclosure concerning, among other things, the
commissions  payable,  current  quotations for the securities and information on
the  limited  market  in  penny  stocks.

     The liquidity of our common shares may be materially and adversely affected
if  our  common  shares  continue  to  be  penny stock due to the administration
requirements  imposed  by  these  rules.

     IT MAY BE DIFFICULT FOR OUR SHAREHOLDERS TO ENFORCE CIVIL LIABILITIES UNDER
THE  U.S.  FEDERAL  SECURITIES  LAWS  BECAUSE  WE  ARE  INCORPORATED  IN CANADA.
Diversinet  is incorporated under Canadian law and the majority of our directors
and  executive  officers  are  Canadian  citizens  or  residents.  All,  or  a
substantial  portion,  of  these  persons'  assets  and substantially all of our
assets  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  those  persons  or Diversinet or to enforce against them judgments of U.S.
courts  predicated upon civil liabilities under U.S. federal or state securities
laws.  Also,  there  is  uncertainty  as  to  the  enforceability  in Canada, in
original  actions or in actions for enforcement of judgments of the U.S. courts,
of  civil  liabilities  predicated  upon  U.S. federal or state securities laws.

     WE MAY BE TREATED AS A PASSIVE FOREIGN INVESTMENT COMPANY, WHICH WOULD HAVE
ADVERSE  TAX  CONSEQUENCES  FOR  OUR  U.S. SHAREHOLDERS.  We may be treated as a
passive  foreign investment company, or a PFIC.  While we do not believe that we
should  be  treated  as  a  PFIC,  whether  we  are treated as a PFIC depends on
questions  of  fact  concerning our assets and revenues.  Accordingly, we cannot
assure  you that we will not be treated as a PFIC.  If we are treated as a PFIC,
there  could  be  material  adverse  tax  consequences  to  U.S.  Holders.  For
additional  information  on the PFIC issue, please turn to "Item 10-E.  Taxation

                                 USE OF PROCEEDS

     We  will  not receive any proceeds when the selling shareholders sell their
common  shares.  The  U.S.  $3,251,190  in proceeds that we may receive upon the
exercise  of the warrants will be used for general working capital purposes.  We
will  pay  all  costs  of  this  prospectus.

                                DIVIDEND POLICY

     We have not paid any cash dividends on our common shares to date and do not
anticipate  paying  cash  dividends  in  the  foreseeable  future.

                          FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

     This  prospectus,  including  the  information  incorporated  by reference,
contains  forward-looking statements made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions
of  the  Private  Securities  Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  Our actual results
could  differ  materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements
as  a  result  of  the  risk  factors  set  forth  beginning  on  page  5.

    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
                                   OPERATIONS

     Our  financial  statements  have  been prepared in accordance with Canadian
GAAP.  These  principles  conform in all material respects with U.S. GAAP except
as  described  in  Note  17  to our 2001 consolidated financial statements.  The
differences between line items under Canadian GAAP and those as determined under
U.S. GAAP are not significant except that, under U.S. GAAP, our total loss would
be greater by $56,000 for the year ended October 31, 2001, greater by $1,549,000
for  the  year  ended  October  31,  2000  and  less by $179,000, $4,131,000 and
$5,001,000  for  the  years ended October 31, 1999, October 31, 1998 and October
31,  1997,  respectively.  Under  U.S.  GAAP,  total  assets  would  be  less by
$4,913,000  for the year ended October 31, 1997, primarily due to the difference
in  accounting  treatment  of  the  $10 million of technology purchased in 1996.
Under  U.S.  GAAP  share  capital  would be greater and deficit would be less by
$41,249,000  for  each  of the years due to a reduction in stated capital offset
against  accumulated  shareholders'  deficit  in  March  of  1999.

CRITICAL  ACCOUNTING  POLICIES

     The  nature  of  our  business  is not highly complex, as we operate in one
primary  business.  We  develop,  market  and  sell  wireless  security software
solutions.  We  also  perform  professional  services  to  install,  support and
integrate  our  solutions  with  other  applications.  We  operate globally in a
functional  organization.  We do not have any off-balance sheet financing, other
than  operating  leases entered into in the normal course of business, and we do
not  actively  engage  in derivative or hedging transactions.  In 2001, our most
complex  accounting  judgments  were  made  in  the  areas  of  software revenue
recognition.  Software  revenue  recognition  is  expected  to continue to be an
on-going  element  of  our  accounting  processes  and  judgments.

SOFTWARE  REVENUE  RECOGNITION

     We  derive  our  revenue  primarily  from  two  sources: sales of products,
including  hardware  and software licenses, and services, including maintenance,
support  and  professional  services.  Significant  management  judgments  and
estimates must be made and used in connection with the revenue recognized in any
reporting  period.  Material differences may affect the amount and timing of our
revenue  for  any  period  if  our  management  made  different  judgments.

     With  respect  to  software  revenue  recognition, we recognize revenues in
accordance  with  the  provisions  of the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants'  Statement of Position No. 97-2, "Software Revenue Recognition" and
SOP No. 98-9, "Modifications of SOP No. 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, with
Respect  to  Certain  Transactions".


                                       13

     For all sales, we use a binding contract, purchase order or another form of
documented  agreement  as evidence of an arrangement with the customer. Revenues
from  software  license  agreements  are  recognized upon receipt of an executed
license  agreement  and  shipment  of  the software, if there are no significant
remaining  vendor  obligations,  collection  of  the  receivable is probable and
payment  is  due  in  accordance  with  our  normal  payment  terms.

     We  consider  delivery  to occur when we ship the product, so long as title
and  risk  of  loss  have  passed  to  the  customer.

     At the time of a transaction, we assess whether the sale amount is fixed or
determinable  and whether collection is probable. If we determine the fee is not
fixed  or determinable, we recognize revenue when payment becomes due. We assess
collectibility  based  on a number of factors, including the creditworthiness of
the  customer.  If  we  determine that collectibility is not probable, we do not
record  revenue  until  such time when collectibility becomes probable, which is
generally  upon  the  receipt  of  cash.

     When  arrangements  contain multiple elements and vendor specific objective
evidence  ("VSOE")  of  fair  value  exists  for  all  undelivered  elements, we
recognize  revenue  for  the  delivered  elements using the residual method. Our
determination of fair value of each of the undelivered elements in multi-element
arrangements is based on VSOE of fair value. VSOE of fair value for each element
is  either  the  price  charged  when the same element is sold separately or the
price  established by management, having the relevant authority to do so, for an
element  not  yet sold separately. For arrangements containing multiple elements
wherein  VSOE of fair value does not exist for all undelivered elements, revenue
for  the delivered and undelivered elements is deferred until VSOE of fair value
exists  or  all  elements  have  been  delivered.

     Maintenance  service  revenue,  whether  sold  separately  or  as part of a
multiple  element  arrangement, is deferred and recognized ratably over the term
of  the  maintenance  contract,  generally  twelve  months. Revenue allocated to
professional  service  elements  is  recognized  as  the services are performed.

     Due  to  the  complexity  of some software license agreements, we routinely
apply  judgment  to  the  application of software revenue recognition accounting
principles  to  specific agreements and transactions. Different judgments and/or
different  contract  structures  could  have  led  to  different  accounting
conclusions,  which  could  have had a material effect on our reported quarterly
earnings.

     RECENT  ACCOUNTING  DEVELOPMENTS

     In  July  2001,  the FASB issued SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations," and
SFAS  No.  142, "Goodwill and Other Tangible Assets."  SFAS No. 141 provides new
guidance  on  the  accounting  for a business combination at the date a business
combination  is completed.  Specifically, it requires use of the purchase method
of  accounting  for  all  business  combinations  initiated after June 30, 2001,
thereby  eliminating  use  of  the  pooling-of-interests  method.  SFAS  No. 142
establishes  new  guidance  on how to account for goodwill and intangible assets
after a business combination is completed.  Among other things, it requires that
goodwill  and certain other tangible assets will no longer be amortized and will
be  tested for impairment at least annually and written down only when impaired.
This  statement  will  apply to existing goodwill and tangible assets, beginning
with  fiscal  years  starting  after  December  15,  2001.  The Company does not
believe that the adoption of SFAS 141 and 142 will have a material impact on its
consolidated  financial  statements  when  adopted.

     In  October  2001,  the  FASB  issued  SFAS  No.  144,  "Accounting for the
Impairment  or  Disposal of Long-Lived Assets". SFAS No. 144 addresses financial
accounting  and  reporting  for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets.
This  statement  supersedes  SFAS  No.  121,  "Accounting  for the Impairment of
Long-Lived  Assets  and  for  Long-Lived  Assets  to be Disposed Of" and related
literature  and  establishes  a  single accounting model, based on the framework
established  in  SFAS  No. 121, for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale.
The Company is required to adopt SFAS No. 144 no later than January 1, 2002. The
Company  does not believe that the adoption of SFAS No. 144 will have a material
impact  on  its  consolidated  financial  statements.

     LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

SIX MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 2002 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 2001


                                       14

     Cash  used in operating activities was $2,231,000 in the three months ended
April  30, 2002, a decline of 44% from the amount used in the same period of the

amortization  of  $627,000.  Other non-cash items include a decrease in accounts
payable  and  accrued liabilities of $117,000, a decrease in deferred revenue of
$123,000,  a  decrease  in  receivables  of  $249,000  and a decrease in prepaid
expenses  of  $459,000.

     Cash  used  in  operating activities was $4,578,000 in the six months ended
April  30, 2002, a decline of 49% from the amount used in the same period of the
prior  year.  Cash  used  during  the  quarter  was comprised of the net loss of
$3,788,000,  less  net depreciation and amortization of $267,000. Other non-cash
items  include  a  decrease  in  accounts  payable  and  accrued  liabilities of
$1,436,000,  a  decrease  in  receivables  of  $97,000,  an increase in deferred
revenue  of  $4,000 and a decrease in prepaid expenses of $278,000. Cash used in
operating  activities  was  $8,927,000  in  the six months ended April 30, 2001,
attributable  to  the  net  loss  of  $10,516,000  less  net  depreciation  and
amortization  of $1,250,000. Other non-cash items include a decrease in accounts
payable  and accrued liabilities of $469,000, an increase in prepaid expenses of
$102,000,  a  decrease  in  deferred  revenue  of  $31,000  and  a  decrease  in
receivables  of  $941,000.

     Cash  provided  by financing activities in the three months ended April 30,
2002  was  $4,784,000. In April 2002 the Company completed the issue and sale of
5,186,708  units  in  the  capital  of the Company at US$0.60 per unit for gross
proceeds  of  US$3,112,022.  Each  unit  is  comprised  of  one common share and
three-quarters  of  one common share purchase warrant. Each warrant will entitle
the  holder thereof to acquire one common share at a price of US$0.72 per common
share  for  a period of up to three years. Cash provided by financing activities
in  the  quarter  ended  April  30,  2001,  was  $11,000 as a result of proceeds
received  from  issuing  common  shares under an employee stock option exercise.

     Cash  provided  by  financing  activities in the six months ended April 30,
2002  was  $4,774,000  representing  the net proceeds from the private placement
described  above.  Cash provided by financing activities in the six months ended
April 30, 2001, was $44,000 as a result of proceeds received from issuing common
shares  under  an  employee  stock  option  exercise.
     Cash  used in investing activities in the three months ended April 30, 2002
and  2001  consisted of $2,000 and $157,000 respectively attributable to capital
asset  additions.

     Cash  provided  by  investing  activities in the six months ended April 30,
2002  was  3,077,000  consisting of $3,088,000 received from proceeds of a short
term investment offset by $11,000 spent of capital asset additions. Cash used in
investing  activities  in  the  six  months  ended  April  30, 2001 consisted of
$633,000  attributable  to  capital  asset  additions.
     We  believe  that  our  cash  and  cash equivalents as at April 30, 2002 of
$6,334,000  will  be  sufficient  to  meet  our  short-term  working  capital
requirements  for  the  remainder  of  the fiscal year. If necessary, we plan to
raise  additional  amounts  to  meet  our  working  capital requirements through
private  or  public  financings,  strategic relationships or other arrangements.
However,  additional  funding may not be available on terms attractive to us, or
at  all.  If we enter into strategic relationships to raise additional funds, we
may be required to relinquish rights to certain of our technologies. Our failure
to  either raise capital when needed or to generate revenues would leave us with
insufficient  resources  to  continue  our  business.

YEAR  ENDED  OCTOBER  31,  2001 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2000 AND YEAR
ENDED  OCTOBER  31,  1999

     Cash used in operating activities was $15,963,000 in the year ended October
31,  2001,  attributable  to  a  net loss of $18,900,000, plus a net increase in
accounts  payable,  accrued liabilities and deferred revenue of $361,000, offset
by  a  net  decrease in receivables and prepaid expenses of $1,410,000, less net
depreciation  and amortization of $1,888,000.  Cash used in operating activities
was  $13,121,000  in the year ended October 31, 2000, attributable to a net loss
of $14,777,000, plus increases in receivables of $1,471,000 and prepaid expenses
of  $376,000,  less  increases  in  accounts  payable and accrued liabilities of
$894,000,  increases  in  deferred revenue of $78,000, less net amortization and
depreciation  and  debenture  non-cash  costs  of  $2,531,000.


                                       15

     Cash  used in operating activities was $4,690,000 in the year ended October
31,  1999, attributable to a net loss of $13,826,000 and an increase in accounts
receivable  of $306,000 and prepaid expenses of $169,000, partially offset by an
increase  in  accounts  payable  and  accrued  liabilities of $1,416,000 and net
non-cash  charges  of  $8,195,000.  The  net  non-cash charges in the year ended
October 31, 1999 of $8,195,000 included $6,394,000 for settlement of litigation.

     Cash  provided  by  financing activities in the year ended October 31, 2001
was  $106,000.  Cash  provided by financing activities in the year ended October
31,  2000  was $30,674,000.  In July 2000, we completed a private placement that
generated net proceeds of $23,544,000.  Funds were also received during the year
on  the  exercise of stock options amounting to $2,022,000 and upon the exercise
of  common share purchase warrants issued in April 1999 which generated proceeds
of  $1,651,000.  In  December  1999, we received $3,429,000 as proceeds from the
exercise  of  a  warrant,  issued  in  December 1997, to purchase 900,000 common
shares  at  an  exercise  price  of  U.S.  $2.50.

     Cash  provided  by  financing activities in the year ended October 31, 1999
totaled  $8,919,000, consisting of $6,488,000 in net proceeds from an April 1999
private  placement  described  below  and  $2,982,000 from the exercise of stock
options  and  warrants to purchase common stock, partially offset by an increase
in  deferred  financing  costs  of  $551,000.

     On  April  23,  1999,  we  consummated  a  private  offering  in Canada and
elsewhere  outside the United States of 2,134,000 special warrants in accordance
with  Regulation  S  under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.  Each special
warrant  was  offered at $3.45 and was exercisable at any time until October 23,
2000, for no additional consideration, to acquire one unit.  Each unit consisted
of  one  share  of our common shares and one quarter of a common shares purchase
warrant.  Each  whole  common  shares  purchase  warrant  entitled the holder to
purchase  one  share of our common shares for $3.87 until October 23, 2000.  The
offering  was  purchased  primarily  by  Canadian  institutional  investors  and
generated  gross  proceeds of $7,362,000.  The market value of our common shares
at  the  time  of  the  placement  was  $6.75  (U.S.  $4.56).

     All  proceeds  that  we  received  were  used for working capital purposes,
including  product  development  and  marketing  and  sales  efforts.

     Cash  used  in  investing  activities  in  the  year ended October 31, 2001
consisted  of  $1,186,000 spent on capital asset additions and the purchase of a
$3,088,000  short-term investment. Cash used in investing activities in the year
ended  October 31, 2000 was $1,764,000 attributable to capital assets additions.
Cash  used  in  investing  activities  in  the  year  ended October 31, 1999 was
$961,000,  attributable  to  additions to deferred development costs of $735,000
and to additions to fixed assets for computer equipment, furniture and leasehold
improvements  of  $226,000.

     As  of  October  31, 2001 we had commitments under non-cancelable operating
leases  for  our  principal  facilities  and  equipment  through 2006 in amounts
ranging  from  $645,000  in  fiscal  2002  declining to $314,000 in fiscal 2006.

     As  of October 31, 2001 we had a commitment to contribute up to $615,000 to
our  50% owned joint venture for our share of the joint venture requirements. We
expect  to  contribute  this  amount  within  six  months  of our 2001 year-end.

     RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

SIX MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 2002 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 2001

     We  reported  an improved net loss of $2,063,000 for the three months ended
April  30,  2002 compared to a net loss of $5,079,000 in the prior year's second
quarter.  The  net  loss  was $3,788,000 for the six months ended April 30, 2002
compared  to  a  net loss of $10,516,000 in the same period in fiscal 2001.  The
decreased  net  loss  in  the  second  quarter  of  2002 is attributable to cost
reduction  measures.  We  completed  operating  cost  reductions  in  the fourth
quarter  of  2001  that resulted in a decline in expenses from operations during
fiscal  2002  compared  to  fiscal  2001.  These  reductions  included workforce
reductions  in  the  United  States and Canada, closure of offices in the United
States and the discontinuance of non-core programs particularly in the marketing
area.  The  restructuring  was  aimed  at  refocusing  our  efforts  on the most
significant  market  opportunities  in  Asia  and  Europe.


                                       16

     For  the three months ended April 30, 2002, we reported revenue of $311,000
compared  to  revenue  of $127,000 for the quarter ended April 30, 2001. For the
six  months  ended  April  30, 2002, we reported revenue of $486,000 compared to
revenue of $698,000 for the six months ended April 30, 2001. We continue to make
progress in the Asian market; for the three months ended April 30 we derived 57%
(0%  for  2001)  and  for  the six months ended April 30 we derived 53% (57% for
2001)  of  our  revenues from this marketplace. During the quarter we recognized
our  first  revenues  from  the issuance of digital m-certificates and while the
amount  was  not material, it demonstrates the usage of our technology solutions
in  the  wireless  environment.

     Research and development expenses decreased to $761,000 in the three months
ended  April  30,  2002  from  $1,836,000  in  three months ended April 30, 2001
resulting  primarily  from wages, occupancy, and travel cost decreases resulting
from  head  count  reductions  completed  in  the  last  quarter of fiscal 2001.
Research  and  development  expenses  decreased  to $1,409,000 in the six months
ended  April  30,  2002  from  $4,033,000  in  same  period  of  fiscal  2001.

     Sales  and marketing expenses were $476,000 in the second quarter of fiscal
2002  compared  to  $2,302,000  in  the second quarter of fiscal 2001. Sales and
marketing expenses were $908,000 in the first six months of fiscal 2002 compared
to $4,656,000 in the same period of fiscal 2001.  The Company continues to focus
a  significant  portion  of  its efforts in the Asian and European markets.  The
launch  of  the Hongkong Post's Mobile e-Cert in fiscal 2001 and the appointment
of  Hutchison as the first Registration Authority have generated interest in our
products  in  the  Asian region as noted in the first paragraph of this section.
We  expect  that  activity  in  this region will continue to increase during the
remainder  of  fiscal  2002.

     General  and administrative expenses were $1,056,000 for the second quarter
of  2002 compared to $650,000 incurred during the second quarter of 2001. During
the  second quarter of 2001 we had foreign exchange gains of $698,000 which were
not  repeated in the second quarter of 2002. General and administrative expenses
were $1,792,000 for the first six months of 2002 compared to $1,822,000 incurred
during  the  first  two  quarters  of  2001. After consideration for the foreign
exchange  gain  incurred  in  fiscal  2001,  the  Company's  September 2001 cost
reduction  plan  has  helped reduce costs by approximately $728,000 from year to
date  2001  to  2002.

     Depreciation  and amortization expense in the second quarter of fiscal 2002
decreased  to  $146,000  from  $627,000  in  the  second quarter of fiscal 2002.
Depreciation  and  amortization expense in the first two quarters of fiscal 2002
decreased  to  $267,000  from $1,250,000 for the same period of fiscal 2002. The
Company's  deferred  development  and  purchased  technology costs are now fully
amortized  and  the  reduction  in  additions  to capital assets has resulted in
reduced  amortization  for  the  quarter.

YEAR  ENDED  OCTOBER  31,  2001  COMPARED  TO  YEAR  ENDED  OCTOBER  31,  2000

     For  the  year  ended  October  31, 2001, we reported revenue of $1,221,000
compared  to  revenue  of  $2,636,000,  for the year ended October 31, 2000. The
information  technology  slowdown  resulted  in  a  deferral of purchases by our
potential customers throughout the year resulting in reduced revenue compared to
the prior year.  We generated 55% of our revenue from the Asian region, 24% from
the  United  States,  17%  from Canada and 4% from other areas during the fiscal
year  2001.

     During  fiscal  2001,  40% of our revenue came from one customer whereas in
fiscal  2000, 24% of our revenue came from a different customer. These customers
are  not related to each other. As the market we operate in is still in an early
stage  of  development and our revenue is still quite small, it is reasonable to
expect  that  our  revenue  may continue to be concentrated among relatively few
customers  for  the  near  future.

     We reported a net loss of $18,900,000, for the year ended October 31, 2001,
compared to a net loss of $15,027,000, in the prior year. The increased net loss
in  fiscal  2001 is attributable partly to a decrease in revenue compared to the
prior  year  and  partly  to increased costs, especially in sales and marketing,
during the year. We completed operating cost reductions in the fourth quarter of
2001  that  should result in a decline in expenses from operations during fiscal
2002 compared to fiscal 2001. We incurred $730,000 in severance costs related to
these  operating  cost  reductions  of  which  the  remaining  $150,000 was paid
subsequent  to  our  year-end.


                                       17

     Research  and  development  expenses  increased  to $6,907,000 in 2001 from
$5,888,000  in  2000 resulting primarily from wages, occupancy, and travel costs
which were higher on average than in the prior year. These expenses are expected
to  decline  in fiscal 2002 as a result of the cost reductions completed late in
fiscal  2001.

     Sales and marketing expenses were $7,256,000 in 2001 compared to $5,435,000
in  2000.  During  the fourth quarter sales and marketing staff in North America
were  reduced  as  the  Company  refocused its efforts in the Asian and European
markets  where  the  Company has been achieving some success. With the launch of
the  Hongkong Post wireless certificate service late in fiscal 2001, interest in
our  products has increased in the Asian region. We expect that activity in this
region  will  increase  during  fiscal  2002.

     General  and  administrative  expenses  were  $4,029,000  for  fiscal 2001;
approximately  the  same  level as the $4,185,000 incurred during fiscal 2000. A
decline  in  these  expenses  during  fiscal  2002  is expected as the result of
continuing  operating  cost  controls.

     Depreciation  and  amortization  expense  in  fiscal  2001  decreased  to
$1,888,000  from  $2,604,000  in fiscal 2000. The Company's deferred development
costs  are  now fully amortized and the reduction in additions to capital assets
has  resulted  in  reduced  amortization  for  the  year.

     During  fiscal  2001, we entered into a joint venture to conduct certain of
our Asian activities, as detailed in note 9 to our audited financial statements,
included in the Annual Report on form 20-F, which was filed on April 1, 2002 and
is  incorporated  herein  by reference. We own 50% of this joint venture and our
financial  statements  reflect  our  proportionate  interest  in  its  assets,
liabilities,  revenue  and  expenses.

YEAR ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2000 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED OCTOBER 31, 1999

     Revenue  increased  to  $2,636,000  in  fiscal 2000 from $246,000 in fiscal
1999.  During  our  2000 fiscal year, 24% of revenue was generated from a single
customer.  The  remaining  revenue  was  generated from a number of transactions
with  various  customers.  The  increase  in  revenue is the result of a greater
number  of  initial  license agreements being concluded in the fiscal year ended
October  31,  2000.

     The  aggregate of research and development, sales and marketing and general
and  administrative  expenses  in  the  year ended October 31, 2000 increased to
$15,509,000 from $5,995,000 in the year ended October 31, 1999.  The increase of
$9,514,000  was  due to continuing expansion of our research and development and
sales  and  marketing  departments.

     Research  and  development expenses, net of amounts capitalized as deferred
development  costs,  increased  to $5,888,000 in the year ended October 31, 2000
compared  to  $1,685,000  in  the  year ended October 31, 1999. The increase was
primarily attributable to a higher number of employees and contractors resulting
in  increases in remuneration of $2,192,000, travel of $525,000, human resources
of  $224,000  and  facilities  of $267,000 and a decrease of $714,000 in amounts
capitalized  for  deferred  development  costs.

     Sales  and marketing expenses were $5,435,000 in the year ended October 31,
2000  compared to $1,880,000 in the year ended October 31, 1999. The increase in
sales  and  marketing  expenses of $3,555,000 in the year ended October 31, 2000
was  attributable primarily to a higher number of sales and marketing employees.
This  was reflected in increased remuneration of $1,735,000, a $957,000 increase
in  travel  and  recruiting  expenses,  a $352,000 increase in facilities and an
increase  of  $279,000  in  public  relations  and  investor  relations expense.

     General and administrative expenses were $4,185,000 fiscal 2000 compared to
$2,431,000  in  fiscal 1999. The increase in general and administrative expenses
of  $1,754,000  was attributable to a higher number of administrative employees.
This  was  reflected  in  increased  remuneration  of $1,021,000, an increase in
facilities  and  office  expenses, resulting principally from the leasing of new
head  office  space,  of  $364,000, an increase in professional services fees of
$884,000  and  a  decrease  in  foreign  exchange  loss  of  $479,000.

     Amortization expense in fiscal 2000 increased to $2,604,000 from $1,446,000
in  the  comparable  period  in  1999.  The  increase was due to the addition of
computer  equipment  and  leasehold  improvements  facilitating  our  growth.


                                       18

     We  incurred a charge for the settlement of litigation of $6,581,000 in the
year  ended  October  31, 1999. There was no comparable charge in the year ended
October  31,  2000.

     We  incurred  interest  expense  of  $7,000 and $297,000 in fiscal 2000 and
1999,  respectively,  primarily  on  the  convertible  debenture.

     We earned interest income of $706,000 and $247,000 in fiscal 2000 and 1999,
respectively.  The increase is primarily attributable to our higher average cash
and  cash  equivalents  in  fiscal  2000  due  to  the proceeds from the private
placement.

     Our  net  loss  from discontinued operations was $250,000 in the year ended
October  31, 2000, compared to $285,000 for the year ended October 31, 1999. The
loss in 2000 related to the write-off of the amount receivable for an investment
tax  credit.  The  loss  in  1999 related to the sale of our IPS 950 division in
January  1998.

                              PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

     The  selling  shareholders  may offer their common shares and common shares
received  upon exercise of their warrants at various times in one or more of the
following  transactions:

     -    in  the  over-the-counter  market on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market(SM) or
          other  exchange  or  automated  quotation  systems on which our common
          shares  are  listed;  or
     -    in  private  transactions.

     The  selling shareholders may sell their shares at market prices prevailing
at the time of sale, or at prices related to that price, at negotiated prices or
at  fixed  prices.  The offering of common shares by the selling shareholders is
not  being  underwritten.

     The  selling  shareholders may use broker-dealers to sell their securities.
If  this  happens,  these  brokers-dealers will receive commissions or discounts
from  the selling shareholders, or they will receive commissions from purchasers
of common shares or warrants for whom they acted as agents.  We will not pay any
broker-dealer  commissions  in  connection  with  this  offering.

     The  Selling  Securityholders may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the
meaning  of the Securities Act and any profits realized by them may be deemed to
be  underwriting  commissions.  Any  broker-dealers  that  participate  in  the
distribution  of  ordinary  shares  also  may be deemed to be "underwriters", as
defined in the Securities Act, and any commissions or discounts paid to them, or
any profits realized by them upon the resale of any securities purchased by them
as  principals,  may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under
the Securities Act. The sale of the ordinary shares is subject to the prospectus
delivery  requirements  of  the  Securities  Act.

DESCRIPTION OF PRIVATE PLACEMENTS

2002 PRIVATE PLACEMENTS

     ISSUANCE  OF  5,620,708  UNITS FOR U.S. $3,374,300, WHICH ISSUANCE INCLUDES
5,808,208  COMMON  SHARES AND 4,665,541 COMMON SHARES ISSUABLE UPON THE EXERCISE
OF  WARRANTS.

     ISSUANCE  OF  5,420,708  UNITS  FOR  U.S.  $3,252,425
     -----------------------------------------------------

     On  April 4, 2002, we completed a private placement of 5,186,708 units at a
price  of  U.S. $0.60 per unit for gross proceeds of U.S. $3,112,022.  Each unit
is  comprised  of  one  (1)  common share and three-quarters (3/4) of one common
share purchase warrant.  Each warrant will entitle the holder thereof to acquire
one  (1)  common share at a price of U.S. $0.72 per common share for a period of
up  to  three  years  from  April  4,  2002.  This transaction was effected as a
private  placement in accordance with Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under
the  Securities Act.  We will use the net proceeds of that private placement for
working  capital  purposes,  to continue our research and development activities
and  for  general  corporate  purposes.

     Allen  & Company Incorporated ("Allen"), as Placement Agent, had the option
to  receive  its U.S. $140,400 fee from the Private Placement entirely in units.
On April 8, 2002, Allen notified us of its decision to receive 234,000 units and
we  issued  234,000  common  shares  and 175,500 common share purchase warrants.

     ISSUANCE  OF  200,000  UNITS  FOR  U.S.  $120,000
     -------------------------------------------------

     Pursuant  to  a  settlement  agreement  dated  February  1999,  Knockagh
International  Ltd. ("Knockagh") had the right to purchase up to 20% of our next
two  offerings.  In  August  2000,  Knockagh  participated  in  our 2000 private
placement (see below).  On May 7, 2002 Knockagh purchased 200,000 units for U.S.
$120,000 on the same terms and condition as those described above.  Knockagh has
no  further  rights  to  participate  in  future  offerings.


                                       25

     ISSUANCE  OF  187,500  SHARE  PURCHASE  WARRANTS  FOR  U.S.  $1,875
     -------------------------------------------------------------------

     Pursuant  to  an  agency  agreement  with  Commonwealth  Associates,  LP
("Commonwealth") arising from this private placement, the company issued 187,500
share  purchase warrants to Commonwealth.  Each warrant entitled Commonwealth to
acquire  one  common  share  of  Diversinet  stock  at a price of U.S. $0.01 per
warrant.  Commonwealth  has  exercised  its  rights  under the warrants, and now
holds  187,500  common  shares.

2000  PRIVATE  PLACEMENT

     ISSUANCE  OF  2,450,001  COMMON  SHARES  FOR  U.S.  $17,150,007

     On  July  25,  2000,  we  completed a private placement of 2,150,001 common
shares  for  a  price of U.S. $7.00 per share for a total purchase price of U.S.
$15,050,007.  This transaction was effected as a private placement in accordance
with Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.  We used the
net proceeds of that private placement, U.S. $15,050,007, expanded our sales and
marketing  activities, continued our research and development activities and for
general  corporate  purposes.

     Pursuant  to a settlement agreement with Moti Barkan, in early August 2000,
Knockagh International Ltd. and others, Knockagh purchased 300,000 common shares
at  U.S.  $7.00  per  share  for an aggregate purchase price of U.S. $2,100,000.

1999  PRIVATE  PLACEMENT

     On April 23, 1999, we completed a private placement in Canada and elsewhere
outside  the  U.S.  of  2,134,000  special warrants in a transaction exempt from
registration  under  the  Securities  Act  pursuant  to Regulation S promulgated
thereunder.  We  received  gross  proceeds  of  CDN  $7,362,200  in this private
placement.  In connection with this private placement, we entered into a special
warrant  indenture  with  Montreal  Trust  Company  of Canada, as trustee.  Each
special  warrant  was offered for CDN $3.45 and is exercisable for one unit, for
no  additional  consideration,  at  any  time until October 23, 2000.  Each unit
consists  of one of our common shares and one quarter of a common share purchase
warrant.  Each  whole  common  share  purchase  warrant  entitles  the holder to
purchase  one  common  share  for  CDN  $3.87  until  October  23,  2000.

     We  used  the  net  proceeds  of  the  private  placement  as  follows:

     -    approximately  CDN  $2.0  million for product development, principally
               remuneration  expenses  for  existing  and  additional  staff;
     -    approximately  CDN  $3.0  million  for  marketing,  sales and business
               development  expenses,  principally  remuneration  expenses  for
               additional  and existing staff, travel, marketing material design
               and  production,  industry  trade  show  attendance  and  public
               relations  and  investor  relations;  and
     -    approximately  CDN  $1.5 million for general working capital purposes,
               principally  remuneration  expenses  for  executive  and
               administrative  staff,  professional services fees and facilities
               and  insurance  expenses.

     In order to receive the consent of the 1998 convertible debenture purchaser
to issue common shares upon exercise of the units issued in connection with this
private  placement, we issued 400,000 warrants to the 1998 convertible debenture
purchaser.  Such  warrants  were  exercisable for two years at an exercise price
equal  to  U.S.  $4.50,  which  was 115% of the average closing bid price on the
Nasdaq  for  the  five  trading days prior to April 23, 1999.  In July 2000, the
warrants  were  amended  to  permit  a  cashless  exercise.  The formula used to
determine  the  number of shares to be issued upon exercise of the warrants was:

     X  (FMV  -  U.S.  $1.18)
     ------------------------
             FMV

     Where,

     X = the number of common shares which was exercisable.


                                       26

     FMV  =  the  closing  price  of  the  common  shares on the Nasdaq SmallCap
MarketSM  for  the fifteen trading days immediately prior to the exercise of the
warrants.

     On  July  20,  2000,  the warrant holder exercised the warrants in full and
received  213,333  common  shares.

     A  nominee  of  the  1998 convertible debenture purchaser who is a non-U.S.
person  purchased  114,000  of  the  special  warrants  offered  in  the private
placement  on  the  terms  set  forth  in  the  first paragraph of this section.

     In  connection  with  this  private placement, Yorkton Securities Inc., the
underwriter  of  the  private  placement,  received an 8% cash commission of CDN
$588,984  and  reimbursement of its out-of-pocket expenses, including legal fees
of  CDN  $90,000.  The  underwriter  also  received  warrants  entitling  the
underwriter  to  acquire options to purchase 213,400 units, each unit consisting
of one common share and one-quarter of one common share purchase warrant, at CDN
$3.45  per  unit until April 23, 2001.  Each whole common share purchase warrant
entitles the holder to purchase one common share for CDN $3.87 until October 23,
2000.  If  the  underwriter  does  not  exercise such options before October 23,
2000,  the options will thereafter be exercisable for one common share each.  In
lieu of paying the cash exercise price of the options, the underwriter may elect
to  receive  a  number  of  warrants  equal  to one quarter of the options being
exercised  and  that  number  of  common  shares  equal  to  the  quotient  of:

                               X(FMV - CDN $3.45)
                              -------------------
                                      FMV

where  X=  the  number of options to be exercised and FMV = the closing price of
our  common  shares  on  the Nasdaq on the trading day immediately prior to such
election by the underwriter.  For example, if the underwriter elected to receive
warrants  and  common  shares  in  lieu of paying the cash exercise price of the
warrants  on  July  26, 2000, the underwriter would have received one quarter of
the  213,400  options, or 53,350 warrants, plus the quotient of (a) (1) 213,400,
which  is  the number of options being exercised, multiplied by (2) U.S. $8.938,
the  closing  price  of  the  common  shares  on July 26, 2000, minus CDN $3.45,
divided  by  (b)  U.S.  $8.938,  or  157,365  common  shares.

     The  underwriter  of this private placement had the right to purchase up to
20%  of  our  next  offering  and  Knockagh  International Ltd. had the right to
purchase  up  to  20%  of  our  next  two  offerings.

     The  market  value of our common shares on April 23, 1999, the closing date
of  this  private  placement,  was  U.S.  $4.56  per  share.

     One  of  our  past directors, Mr. John A. McMahon, is also a consultant for
Yorkton  Securities  Inc.  We  believe  that  the  compensation  payable  to the
underwriter  in  connection with this private placement is at least as favorable
as  could  have  been  obtained  from  an  unaffiliated  party.

OCTOBER  1998  PRIVATE  PLACEMENT

     ISSUANCE  OF  CONVERTIBLE  DEBENTURE  AND  WARRANTS  FOR  U.S.  $2,000,000

     In  accordance with a securities purchase agreement dated October 15, 1998,
we  sold  to  WEC  Investors  V,  LLC:

- -    a  convertible  debenture  in  the principal amount of U.S. $2,000,000; and
- -    warrants  to  purchase  300,000  common shares at an exercise price of U.S.
     $1.18  per  share

for  a total purchase price of U.S. $2,000,000.  This transaction qualified as a
private  placement in accordance with Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under
the  Securities  Act.  We  applied  the  net  proceeds of that private placement
towards  product  development,  sales  and marketing support and general working
capital  purposes.

     TERMS  OF  THE  CONVERTIBLE  DEBENTURE


                                       27

     The  convertible  debenture  was unsecured, matured on October 14, 2001, if
not  earlier  converted,  and  paid  interest  at  the rate of 3% per year.  The
interest  was  payable,  at  our  option,  in  either  cash or in common shares.

     CONVERSION

     At  the holder's option, all or any portion of the unpaid principal balance
of  the  convertible  debenture  was convertible into fully paid, non-assessable
common  shares  at  a  per  share  conversion  price  equal  to  the  lesser of:

     -    U.S.  $1.18;  and
     -    80%  of  the  average  closing  bid  price  on  Nasdaq, as reported by
               Bloomberg,  L.P. or The Wall Street Journal, of our common shares
               for  the  five  trading days before the delivery of the notice of
               conversion.

     As  of  December  8, 1999, the debenture purchaser had converted the entire
principal  amount  of  the  debenture and accrued interest into 1,748,475 of our
common  shares,  at  a  conversion  price  of  U.S.  $1.18  per  share.

     We  have  no  current  plans to issue any additional convertible securities
that  do  not  have  a  minimum  per  share  conversion  price.

     WARRANTS

     The  warrants:

     -    expired on October 15, 2003; and
     -    entitled the holder to purchase up to 300,000 common shares at an
               exercise  price of U.S. $1.18 per share, subject to proportionate
               adjustment  if  we  either:
               -    pay  a  dividend  on  our common shares in common shares; or
               -    subdivide  or  combine  our  common  shares.

     In  July 2000 the warrants were amended to permit a cashless exercise.  The
formula used to determine the number of shares to be issued upon exercise of the
warrants  was:

     X  (FMV - U.S. $1.18)
     ---------------------
             FMV

     Where,

     X  = the number of common shares which was exercisable.

     FMV  =  the  closing  price  of  the  common  shares on the Nasdaq SmallCap
MarketSM  for  the fifteen trading days immediately prior to the exercise of the
warrants.

     On  July  20,  2000,  the  warrantholder exercised the warrants in full and
received  265,040  common  shares.

OTHER  AGREEMENTS

     We entered into a registration rights agreement dated October 15, 1998 with
the debenture purchaser granting it certain registration rights with respect to:

     -    the  common  shares  underlying  the  convertible  debenture;
     -    the  warrants;  and
     -    the  common  shares  underlying  the  warrants.

     The  registration  rights  agreement  requires  us  to register a number of
shares  equal  to  200%  of  the  sum  of:


                                       28

     -    the number of common shares issuable as of the date of this prospectus
          upon  conversion  of  the  convertible  debenture;  and
     -    the  number  of  common  shares  issuable  upon  the  exercise  of the
          warrants.

     At  the date of this prospectus, the debenture has been fully converted and
we  have  been  advised  that the debenture purchaser has sold all of the shares
issued  on  the  conversion.  In  addition,  all common shares issuable upon the
exercise of the warrants have been issued.  As a result of the conversion of the
debenture  and  the exercise of the warrants, we believe the debenture purchaser
has  no  further  rights  under  the  registration  rights  agreement.

     In  the  securities  purchase  agreement, the debenture purchaser has also:

     -    represented  that  neither  it  nor  any of its officers, directors or
          affiliates had entered into any short sales with respect to our common
          shares  as  of  the  date  thereof;  and
     -    agreed  that  neither  it  nor  any  of  its  officers,  directors  or
          affiliates  will  enter  into any short selling transactions regarding
          our common shares, except that the debenture purchaser may sell common
          shares  which  it  may  receive  upon  conversion  of  the convertible
          debenture  up  to five days prior to giving us notice of its intent to
          convert  the  debenture.

     The  terms  of our October 1998 private placement prohibit us, with certain
exceptions,  from issuing any securities, including issuing common shares to our
employees,  without  the  debenture  purchaser's  prior consent until six months
after  the date of the prospectus covering the sale of the debenture purchaser's
common  shares.  As a result of the conversion of the debenture and the exercise
of  the warrants, we believe the debenture purchaser has no further rights under
the  securities  purchase  agreement.

UNITED  STATES  FEDERAL  INCOME  TAX  CONSEQUENCES

     The  following is a discussion of material United States Federal income tax
consequences  generally  applicable  to  a U.S. Holder (as defined below) of our
common  shares.  This  discussion  does  not  address  all  potentially relevant
Federal  income  tax  matters  and  it does not address consequences peculiar to
persons  subject  to  special provisions of Federal income tax law, such as, for
example,  tax-exempt  organizations, qualified retirement plans, persons subject
to  alternative  minimum  tax, financial institutions, insurance companies, real
estate  investment  trusts,  regulated  investment  companies,  broker-dealers,
non-resident  alien  individuals  or foreign corporations whose ownership of our
common  shares  is  not  effectively  connected  with  the conduct of a trade or
business in the United States and shareholders who acquired their shares through
the  exercise  of  employee  share  options  or  otherwise  as compensation.  In
addition,  this discussion only applies to common shares held by U.S. Holders as
capital  assets  within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Internal Revenue Code
of  1986,  as  amended,  and  does  not  cover  any  state, local or foreign tax
consequences.

     The following discussion is based upon the sections of the Internal Revenue
Code,  Treasury  Regulations,  published  Internal  Revenue  Service  rulings,
published  administrative  positions  of  the Internal Revenue Service and court
decisions that are currently applicable, any or all of which could be materially
and  adversely  changed,  possibly  on  a  retroactive  basis, at any time.  The
following  discussion is for general information only and is not intended to be,
nor  should  it  be  construed  to  be,  legal  or  tax  advice to any holder or
prospective  holder  of  our common shares and no opinion or representation with
respect  to the United States Federal income tax consequences to any such holder
or  prospective  holder is made. Accordingly, holders and prospective holders of
our  common  shares  should  consult  their  own tax advisors about the federal,
state,  local,  and foreign tax consequences of purchasing, owning and disposing
of  our  common  shares.

U.S.  HOLDERS

     As  used herein, a "U.S. Holder" includes any person, with the exception of
those  subject  to  special  provisions of Federal income tax law, who holds our
common  shares  who is a citizen or resident of the United States, a partnership
or  corporation  organized  under  the laws of the United States, an estate, the
income of which is subject to United States federal income tax without regard to
its  source  and  a  trust  if a United States court is able to exercise primary
supervision  over  administration  of  the  trust  and one or more United States
persons  have  authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or if
the  trust was in existence on August 20, 1996 and has elected to continue to be

treated  as  a  United  States  person,  and  any  other  person or entity whose
ownership  of  our  common shares is effectively connected with the conduct of a
trade  or  business  in  the  United  States.

DISTRIBUTIONS  ON  OUR  COMMON  SHARES

     U.S.  Holders  receiving  dividend  distributions  (including  constructive
dividends)  with  respect  to our common shares are required to include in gross
income  for  United  States Federal income tax purposes the gross amount of such
distributions  to  the  extent  that we have current or accumulated earnings and
profits,  without  reduction  for  any  Canadian  income  tax withheld from such
distributions.  Such  Canadian  tax withheld may be credited, subject to certain
limitations,  against  the  U.S.  Holder's  United  States  Federal  Income  tax
liability  or,  alternatively,  may  be  deducted in computing the U.S. Holder's
United  States  Federal taxable income by those who itemize deductions (see more
detailed  discussion  at  "Foreign  Tax  Credit"  below).  To  the  extent  that
distributions  exceed our current or accumulated earnings and profits, they will
be  treated  first as a return of capital up to the U.S. Holder's adjusted basis
in  the  common  shares  and thereafter as gain from the sale or exchange of the
common  shares.  Preferential  tax  rates  for  long-term  capital  gains  are
applicable  to  an  U.S. Holder, which is an individual, estate or trust.  There
are  currently no preferential tax rates for long-term capital gains for an U.S.
Holder,  which  is  a  corporation.  Dividends  paid in Canadian dollars will be
included  in  income  in an U.S. dollar amount based on the exchange rate at the
time  of  their  receipt.  U.S.  Holders  should  consult their own tax advisors
regarding  the  treatment  of  any foreign currency gain or loss on any Canadian
dollars  received  as a dividend which are converted into U.S. dollars on a date
subsequent  to  receipt.

     Dividends  paid on our common shares will not generally be eligible for the
dividends  received  deduction provided to corporations receiving dividends from
certain  United  States  corporations. A U.S. Holder which is a corporation may,
under certain circumstances, be entitled to a 70% deduction of the United States
source  portion  of  dividends received from us (unless we qualify as a "foreign
personal  holding company" or a "passive foreign investment company", as defined
below)  if  such U.S. Holder owns shares representing at least 10% of the voting
power  and value of Diversinet. The availability of this deduction is subject to
several  complex  limitations,  which  are  beyond the scope of this discussion.

FOREIGN  TAX  CREDIT

     A U.S. Holder who pays (or has withheld from distributions) Canadian income
tax  with  respect to the ownership of our common shares may be entitled, at the
option  of  the  U.S.  Holder,  to  either  a deduction or a tax credit for such
foreign  tax paid or withheld.  Generally, it will be more advantageous to claim
a  credit  because  a  credit  reduces  United  States Federal income taxes on a
dollar-for-dollar  basis, while a deduction merely reduces the taxpayer's income
subject  to  tax.  This  election  is made on an annual basis and applies to all
foreign income taxes (or taxes in lieu of income tax) paid by (or withheld from)
the  U.S. Holder during the year.  There are significant and complex limitations
which apply to the credit, among which is the general limitation that the credit
cannot  exceed  the proportionate share of the U.S. Holders United States income
tax  liability  that the U.S. Holder's foreign source income bears to his/her or
its  worldwide  taxable  income.

     In  the  determination  of  the application of this limitation, the various
items  of  income  and  deduction  must  be classified into foreign and domestic
sources.  Complex  rules  govern  this classification process. There are further
limitations  on  the  foreign  tax  credit  for  certain types of income such as
"passive  income", "high withholding tax interest", "financial services income",
"shipping  income",  and  certain  other  classifications of income.  In certain
circumstances,  recently  enacted  legislation  and other guidance issued by the
United  States Treasury may deny a United States holder foreign tax credits (and
instead  may  allow  deductions)  for foreign taxes imposed on a dividend if the
United  States holder (i) has not held the common shares for at least 16 days in
the 30-day period beginning 15 days before the ex-dividend date, during which it
is  not  protected from risk of loss; (ii) is obligated to make payments related
to  the dividends; or (iii) holds the common shares in arrangements in which the
United  States  holder's  expected  economic  profit,  after  non-US  taxes,  is
insubstantial.

     The  availability  of  the  foreign  tax  credit and the application of the
limitations  on the credit are fact specific and holders and prospective holders
of  our  common  shares  should  consult  their own tax advisors regarding their
individual  circumstances.


                                       30

DISPOSITION  OF  OUR  COMMON  SHARES

     A  U.S.  Holder  will  recognize  gain  or loss upon the sale of our common
shares  equal to the difference, if any, between (i) the amount of cash plus the
fair market value of any property received, and (ii) the shareholder's tax basis
in  the our common shares.  Any gain recognized on the sale or other disposition
of  common  shares will generally be U.S. source income.  Any loss recognized on
the  sale  or  other disposition of common shares will generally be U.S. source.
However,  such  loss will be foreign source to the extent certain dividends were
received  by  the  U.S. Holder within the 24-month period proceeding the date on
which  the  loss was recognized.  This gain or loss will be capital gain or loss
if  the  common  shares are capital asset in the hands of the U.S. Holder, which
will  be  a  short-term  or  long-term  capital  gain or loss depending upon the
holding  period  of  the  U.S. Holder.  Gains and losses are netted and combined
according to special rules in arriving at the overall capital gain or loss for a
particular  tax  year.  Deductions  for  net  capital  losses  are  subject  to
significant  limitations.  For  U.S. Holders who are individuals, a capital loss
is deductible only to the extent of capital gains, plus ordinary income of up to
U.S.  $3,000; any unused portion of such net capital loss may be carried over to
be  used  in  later  tax years until such net capital loss is thereby exhausted.
For  U.S.  Holders  which  are  corporations (other than corporations subject to
Subchapter  S  of the Internal Revenue Code), any unused net capital loss may be
carried  back three years from the loss year and carried forward five years from
the  loss year to be offset against capital gains until such net capital loss is
thereby  exhausted.  If  the  amount  realized  on  a  sale  or  exchange is not
denominated  in  U.S.  dollars,  the  amount  realized will be equal to the U.S.
dollar  value  thereof,  determined  at the spot rate on the date of the sale or
exchange.

OTHER  CONSIDERATIONS

     In  the following three circumstances, the above sections of the discussion
may  not  describe  the  United States Federal income tax consequences resulting
from  the holding and disposition of our common shares.  Based on (a) the number
of  shareholders  of  our  common  shares, and (b) the majority ownership of our
shares  by  Canadian  residents, we do not believe that we are either a "Foreign
Personal Holding Company" or a "Controlled Foreign Corporation."  However, we do
believe  that  we  are  likely  to  be  treated as a "Passive Foreign Investment
Company"  for  the  taxable  years  1999,  2000  and  2001.

FOREIGN  PERSONAL  HOLDING  COMPANY

     If,  at any time during a taxable year, more than 50% of the total combined
voting power or the total value of our outstanding shares are owned, actually or
constructively,  by  five  or fewer individuals who are citizens or residents of
the  United States and 60% or more of our gross income for such year was derived
from  certain  passive  sources  (e.g.  from  dividends  received from unrelated
persons),  we would be treated as a "foreign personal holding company."  In that
event,  U.S. Holders that hold our common shares would be required to include in
gross  income  for  such  year their allowable portions of such foreign personal
holding  company  income  to  the extent that we do not actually distribute such
income.

CONTROLLED  FOREIGN  CORPORATION

     If  more than 50% of the voting power of all classes of shares or the total
value of our shares is owned, directly or indirectly, by U.S. shareholders, each
of  whom own 10% or more of our voting shares ("U.S. Shareholders"), we could be
treated  as  a "controlled foreign corporation" (a "CFC") under SubPart F of the
Internal  Revenue  Code.  If  we  were  classified  as  a CFC and as a PFIC, CFC
treatment  would  prevail with respect to U.S. Shareholders.  CFC classification
would  effect  many  complex  results  including  the required inclusion by such
United  States  shareholders  in  income  of their pro rata share: of "SubPart F
Income"  (as  specially defined by the Internal Revenue Code) of Diversinet; and
of  our  earnings invested in U.S. property.  In addition, under Section 1248 of
the  Internal  Revenue Code, gain from the sale or exchange of our common shares
by  a  U.S.  person who is or was a United States shareholder (as defined in the
Internal  Revenue Code) at any time during the five years period ending with the
sale  or exchange is generally treated as ordinary dividend income to the extent
of  our  earnings  and  profits  attributable  to  the shares sold or exchanged.
Because  of the complexity of SubPart F, and because it is not clear that we are
a  controlled  foreign  corporation,  a  more  detailed review of these rules is
outside  of  the  scope  of  this  discussion.


                                       31

PASSIVE  FOREIGN  INVESTMENT  COMPANY

     As  stated  above,  we  believe  that  we  will not be treated as a passive
foreign  investment company ("PFIC"), as defined in Section 1297 of the Internal
Revenue  Code,  for  our  fiscal  years  1999,  2000,  and  2001.

     United  States income tax legislation contains rules governing PFIC's, that
can  have significant tax effects on U.S. Holders of foreign corporations. These
rules  do  not  apply  to non-U.S. Holders. Section 1297 of the Internal Revenue
Code  defines  a  PFIC  as a corporation that is not formed in the United States
and,  for  any  taxable  year,  either  (i)  75%  or more of its gross income is
"passive income", which includes interest, dividends and some types of rents and
royalties  or  (ii)  the  average  percentage,  by fair market value (or, if the
company  is  a  controlled foreign corporation or makes an election, by adjusted
tax  basis),  of  its  assets  that  produce  or  are held for the production of
"passive  income"  is  50%  or  more.  Based  on  these tests we do not meet the
definition  of  a  PFIC  in  1999,  2000  or  2001.

     An U.S. Holder who holds shares in a foreign corporation during any year in
which  such  corporation  qualifies  as a PFIC is subject to U.S. Federal income
taxation  under alternative tax regimes, depending upon whether such U.S. Holder
makes  elections. The following is a discussion of these alternative tax regimes
as  applicable  to  our  U.S.  Holders.

     A U.S. Holder of a PFIC who does not make either of the elections described
below  (a "Non-electing U.S. Holder") is subject to special taxation rules under
Section  1291 of the Internal Revenue Code with respect to (i) gains realized on
the  disposition  (or  deemed  to  be realized by reason of a pledge) of his/her
common  shares  and (ii) excess distributions by us, defined as any distribution
received  by  a  U.S.  Holder from a PFIC in a taxable year that is greater than
125%  of  the  average  distributions  received  by the U.S. Holder in the three
preceding  taxable  years,  or, if shorter, the U.S. Holder's holding period for
the  shares.

     A Non-electing U.S. Holder generally would be required to include in income
pro  rata all gains realized on the disposition of his/her common shares and all
excess  distributions over the entire holding period for the PFIC common shares.
All  gains  or  excess distributions allocated to prior years of the U.S. Holder
(other  than  years  prior  to the first taxable year of the company during such
U.S.  Holder's  holding  period and beginning after January 1, 1987 for which it
was  a  PFIC)  would  be  taxed at the highest tax rate for each such prior year
applicable  to  ordinary  income.  The  Non-electing  U.S.  Holder also would be
liable  for  interest  on  the  foregoing tax liability for each such prior year
calculated  as  if  such  liability had been due with respect to each such prior
year.  A  Non-electing  U.S.  Holder  that  is not a corporation must treat this
interest  charge  as "personal interest" which, as discussed above, is partially
or  wholly  non-deductible.  The  balance of the gain or the excess distribution
will  be  treated  as  ordinary  income  in  the  year  of  the  disposition  or
distribution,  and  no  interest  charge  will  be incurred with respect to such
balance.

     If  we  are  a  PFIC  for any taxable year during which a Non-electing U.S.
Holder  holds  common shares, then we will continue to be treated as a PFIC with
respect to such common shares, even if we are no longer a PFIC as defined above.
A  Non-electing U.S. Holder may terminate this deemed PFIC status by electing to
recognize  a  gain  (which  will  be  taxed  under the rules discussed above for
Non-electing  U.S.  Holders)  as if such common shares had been sold on the last
day  of  the  last  taxable  year  for  which  it  was  a  PFIC.

     Under  Section  1291(f) of the Internal Revenue Code, the Department of the
Treasury  has  issued proposed regulations that would treat as taxable transfers
of  PFIC  shares  by  Non-electing U.S. Holders that are generally not otherwise
taxed,  such  as  gifts,  exchanges  pursuant  to corporate reorganizations, and
transfers at death. Special, generally adverse, rules will apply with respect to
the  common  shares  while  the  company  is  a  PFIC. For example under Section
1298(b)(6)  of  the Internal Revenue Code, a U.S. Holder who uses PFIC shares as
security for a loan (including a margin loan) will, except as may be provided in
regulations,  be  treated  as  having made a taxable disposition of such shares.

     Alternatively, if we are a PFIC, an U.S. Holder (an "Electing U.S. Holder")
who  owns common shares is permitted generally to elect out of the tax treatment
discussed  above, if an U.S. Holder makes a mark-to-market election with respect
to  common  shares. Under such election, an Electing U.S. Holder would generally
recognize  as  ordinary  income  for  each  taxable  year an amount equal to the
excess, if any, of the fair market value of common shares as of the close of the
taxable  year over the Electing U.S. Holder's adjusted tax basis in such shares.
An Electing U.S. Holder would generally be allowed an ordinary deduction (to the
extent  of  any net mark-to-market gains recognized for prior taxable years) for


                                       32

the  excess,  if  any, of the adjusted tax basis of the common shares over their
fair market value as of the close of the taxable year. An Electing U.S. Holder's
adjusted  tax  basis of the common shares would generally be adjusted to reflect
the  amounts  included  or  deducted  under  the  mark-to-market  election.
Additionally,  any  gain  on  the actual sale or other disposition of the common
shares  generally  will  be  treated as ordinary income. Ordinary loss treatment
also  would  generally  apply  to  any loss realized on the actual sale or other
disposition  of the common shares to the extent that the amount of such loss did
not exceed the net mark-to-market gains previously included with respect to such
shares.  An election to mark to market would generally apply to the taxable year
made  and  all subsequent taxable years. A mark-to-market election is subject to
complex and specific rules and requirements, and U.S. Holders are strongly urged
to  consult  their  tax  advisors  concerning  such  election  if the company is
classified  as  a  PFIC.

     Finally,  an  U.S.  Holder  who  elects in a timely manner to treat us as a
"qualified  electing  fund"  (a  "QEF")  as defined in the Internal Revenue Code
would  be subject to another set of special rules different from those described
above.  Although a QEF election may be beneficial to some U.S. Holders depending
upon  their  particular  tax  situations,  it  requires  us  to make information
available  to  such  holders,  and  we  do  not  intend to make such information
available  even  if  it  is classified as a PFIC.  Accordingly, the QEF election
will  not  be  available  to  U.S.  Holders.

     The  foregoing  discussion  is based on existing provisions of the Internal
Revenue  Code,  existing  and  proposed  regulations  thereunder,  and  current
administrative  ruling  and court decisions, all of which are subject to change.
Any  such  change could affect the validity of this discussion. In addition, the
implementation of aspects of the PFIC rules requires the issuance of regulations
which in many instances have not been promulgated and which may have retroactive
effect. There can be no certainty that any of these proposed regulations will be
enacted  or  promulgated  and  if so, the form they will take or the effect that
they  may have on this discussion. Accordingly, and due to the complexity of the
PFIC  rules,  U.S. Holders who are shareholders of Diversinet are strongly urged
to  consult their own tax advisors concerning the impact of these rules on their
investment  in  us.

                                    --------

     All  of  the  above  expenses  except  the  registration fee are estimated.

ITEM 15.  INDEMNIFICATION  OF  DIRECTORS  AND  OFFICERS

     Under  the  Business Corporations Act (Ontario) (the "Act"), Diversinet may
indemnify  a present or former director or officer or a person who acts or acted
at Diversinet's request as a director or officer of another corporation of which
Diversinet  is  or  was  a  shareholder  or  creditor  and  his  heirs and legal
representatives  against  all  costs,  charges and expenses, including an amount
paid  to  settle  an action or satisfy a judgment, reasonably incurred by him in
respect  of  any civil, criminal or administrative action or proceeding to which
he  is made a party by reason of being or having been such a director or officer
if  the  director or officer acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the
best  interests  of  Diversinet and, in the case of a criminal or administrative
action  or  proceeding  that  is  enforced by a monetary penalty, had reasonable
grounds  for believing that his conduct was lawful.  Such indemnification may be
made  in  connection  with an action by or on behalf of Diversinet or such other
corporation  only  with  court  approval.  A  director or officer is entitled to
indemnification  from  Diversinet as a matter of right in respects of all costs,
charges  and  expenses reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense
of  any  civil,  criminal or administrative proceeding to which he is a party by
reason  of  being or having been a director or officer of such corporation if he
was  substantially  successful  on  the  merits and fulfilled the conditions set
forth  above.

     The  by-laws  of  Diversinet provide that each director, each officer, each
former  director,  each  former  officer  and  each  person who acts or acted at
Diversinet's  request  as  a  director  or  officer of a body corporate of which
Diversinet  is  or  was  a  shareholder  or  creditor,  and  his heirs and legal
representatives  shall  be indemnified and saved harmless by Diversinet from and
against  all  costs,  charges  and  expenses, including without limitation, each
amount  paid  to  settle an action or satisfy a judgment, reasonably incurred by
him  in respect of any civil, criminal or administrative action or proceeding to
which  his  is  made  a  party  by  reason or being or having been a director or
officer of Diversinet or such body corporation, if he acted honestly and in good
faith  with  a view to Diversinet's best interests and in the case of a criminal
or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty he
had  reasonable  grounds  for  believing  his  conduct  was  lawful.  In certain
circumstances  Diversinet  has  provided  its  Directors  or  its  subsidiaries'
Directors  with  a  written  indemnification  confirming  the  indemnification
available  under  its  by-laws.

     Diversinet  currently  maintains  directors'  and  officers'  liability
insurance,  which,  subject  to the provisions contained in the policy, protects
the directors and officers, as such, against all claims during the term of their
office  provided  they  acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best
interests  of  Diversinet.  Such  insurance  provides  for  an aggregate of U.S.
$15,000,000 annual protection against liability for and reimbursement of amounts
paid.


                                      II-1

     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
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 U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification
is  against  public  policy  as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore
unenforceable.

ITEM 17.  UNDERTAKINGS

     Paragraph  designations  correspond to designations in Regulation S-K, Item
512.

     (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;
             (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) shall not apply if
                    the  information required to be included in a post-effective
                    amendment  by  those  paragraphs  is  contained  in periodic
                    reports  filed by the registration pursuant to Section 13 or
                    Section  15(d)  of  the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that
                    are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.

          (2)  That,  for  the  purpose  of  determining any liability under the
               Securities  Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall
               be  deemed  to  be  a  new registration statement relating to the
               securities  offered  therein, and the offering of such securities
               at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
               thereof;

          (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;

          (4)  To  file a post-effective amendment to the registration statement
               to  include  any  financial  statements  required by Rule 3-19 of
               Regulation S-X at the start of any delayed offering or throughout
               a  continuous  offering.  Financial  statements  and  information
               otherwise  required  by  Section  10(a)(3) of the Act need not be
               furnished,  provided,  that  the  registrant  includes  in  the
               prospectus,  by  means  of  a post-effective amendment, financial
               statements  required  pursuant to this paragraph (a)(4) and other
               information necessary to ensure that all other information in the
               prospectus  is at least as current as the date of those financial
               statements.  Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  with  respect  to
               registration  statements  on Form F-3, a post-effective amendment
               need not be filed to include financial statements and information
               required  by  Section  10(a)(3)  of  the  Act  or  Rule  3-19  of
               Regulation  S-X  if such financial statements and information are
               contained  in  periodic  reports  filed  with or furnished to the
               Commission  by  the  registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section
               15(d)  of  the  Securities  Exchange  Act  of  1934  that  are
               incorporated  by  reference  in  the  Form  F-3.

     (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) of
          section  15(d)  of  the  Securities  Exchange  Act  of 1934 (and where
          applicable,  each  filing  of an employee benefit plan's annual report
          pursuant to section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that
          is incorporated by reference in the registration statement relating to
          the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at
          that  time  shall  be  deemed  to  be  the  initial bona fide offering
          thereof.


                                      II-4

     (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, 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 expense incurred or paid by a director, officer, or
          controlling  person of the registrant in the successful defense of any
          such 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-5
