Registration Statement which indicate that all securities offered hereby have

deemed to be incorporated herein by reference and to be a part hereof from their
respective dates of filing.

Not applicable.
II-1
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel
Certain legal matters in connection with the offering of the securities
registered hereunder are being passed upon for the Registrant by Certilman Balin
Adler & Hyman, LLP, 90 Merrick Avenue, East Meadow, New York 11554.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Pursuant to Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, the
Registrant has the power, under certain circumstances, to indemnify any person
who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened,
pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that such person is or
was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Registrant, or is or was
serving at the request of the Registrant as a director, officer, employee or
agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise against expenses (including attorney's fees), judgments, fines and
amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in
connection with such action, suit or proceeding.
Article Seventh of the Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation provides
that the Registrant shall, to the fullest extent permitted by said Section 145,
indemnify all persons whom it may indemnify pursuant thereto.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended ("1933 Act"), may be permitted to directors, officers or
controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or
otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that, in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the 1933 Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the
event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the
payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action,
suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person
in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless
in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the 1933 Act
and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

will receive any proceeds from the resale of the Shares by the Selling
Stockholders. See "Selling Stockholders."

Act. See "Selling Stockholders" and "Plan of Distribution".
The Selling Stockholders and any agents, broker-dealers, or underwriters
that participate with the Selling Stockholders in the distribution of any of the
Shares may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities
Act, and any commissions received by them, and any profit on the resale of the
Shares purchased by them, may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or
discounts under the Securities Act. The Company is not aware of any underwriting
arrangements with respect to the resale of the Shares by the Selling
Stockholders. See "Selling Stockholders" and "Plan of Distribution".

THE COMPANY
The Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, is engaged in the
business of providing computerized data processing services and custom software
and programming services, by utilizing Company-developed software, and software
acquired or licensed by the Company, principally to the health care industry,
but also to the general commercial market. In addition, the Company provides
hardware maintenance of personal computers ("PCs"), printers and networks and
training on PC software packages.
Applications of the Company's software include: a home health care system,
computerized preparation of management reports, payroll processing and
electronic time card with voice recognition systems. Principal products and
services provided by the Company include the Sandsport Home Attendant Reporting
Program, data entry services and specialized system development, among others.
In addition, the Company provides administration and processing services for an
affiliate engaged in the pharmacy prescription reimbursement business See "Risk
Factors--Unascertainable Risks Related to Possible Acquisitions".
Generally, in providing data processing services, the Company first
receives data from its customers, then processes it and generates reports based
on such data. Services are provided to customers by processing on the Company's
equipment at its premises. The Company also has available software which permits
information retrieval from customers' facilities which communicate with the
Company's computers at its data center. This allows the Company's customers to
have access to processing hardware and software without a substantial investment
on their part. The Company also offers its services on a turnkey basis. Turnkey
computer systems offer the customer total in-house capabilities through the
licensing of the Company's software for use on a customer's computer. The
Company's software is written in a variety of software languages including
COBOL, C and FoxPro.
Over the past several years, the Company has developed its Santrax product,
a computerized time and attendance management system. The Santrax system
utilizes voice recognition and telecommunications technology to verify that a
person is at a particular telephone number at a particular time. Presently, the
system is being utilized by several of the Company's home health care clients,
with the Company receiving approximately an aggregate of 400,000 calls per week.
Although no assurances can be given, it is anticipated that the Santrax product
can be utilized by other industry applications.
On April 10, 1997, the Company received notice that MCI Telecommunications
Corp. ("MCI") had commenced an action against it in the United States District
Court for the Eastern District of New York alleging that the Company's Santrax
time and attendance system infringes on certain patent rights allegedly owned by
plaintiff. The complaint seeks compensatory and treble damages with interest and
injunctive relief. The Company intends to vigorously defend this action. On May
13, 1997, the Company filed an Answer and Counterclaim against MCI (the
"Answer"). Among other things, pursuant to the Answer, the Company denies that
its product infringes MCI's
A-5
patent rights and asserts certain affirmative defenses. In addition, the Answer
contains a counterclaim challenging the validity of MCI's alleged patent rights.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, because of the uncertainties of litigation,
no assurances can be given as to the outcome of the MCI litigation. In the event
that the Company were not to prevail in this litigation, the Company could be
required to pay significant damages to MCI and could be enjoined from further
use of the Santrax system as it presently exists. Although a negative outcome in
the MCI litigation would have a material adverse affect on the Company,
including, but not limited to, its operations and financial condition, the
Company believes that, if it is held that the Company's system infringes MCI's
patent rights, the Company would attempt to design a system to replace Santrax
or would attempt to negotiate with MCI to utilize its system, although no
assurances can be given that the Company would be successful in these attempts.
At the present time, the Company can not assess the possible cost of
implementing a new system or obtaining rights from MCI.
Since late 1993, the Company has been engaged from time to time in
negotiations relating to the use of MCI's telephone services in connection with
the Santrax system. In late 1996, MCI and the Company discussed, among other
things, that the Company would pay a lesser per call charge for such services if
the Company and MCI agreed that the Company's technology did not violate U.S.
Patent 5,255,183 (the "Katz Patent"), which is the subject of the MCI
litigation. No such agreement was ever reached.
For the fiscal year ended May 31, 1996 and nine months ended February 28,
1997, approximately 19.8% and 33.4% of the Company's revenues, respectively,
were derived from fees associated with the Santrax product.
MCI has advised that it owns two pending patent applications that are
related to the Katz Patent. Since those patent applications have not issued to
patent and are confidential at the U.S. Patent Office, the Company is unable to
determine the scope of any patent applications. In addition, one or both of such
applications could be amended by MCI. There can be no assurances that these
patent applications, either as originally filed or as amended, will not issue as
patents with claims that cover the Santrax system. See "Risk Factors--Pending
Litigation by MCI Telecommunications Corp".
The Company was incorporated in the State of New York in June 1978 and
reincorporated in the State of Delaware in December 1986, at which time it also
assumed its present name.
The Company maintains its executive offices at 26 Harbor Park Drive, Port
Washington, New York 11050; telephone number (516) 484-9060.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
The Company cautions readers that certain important factors may affect the
Company's actual results and could cause such results to differ materially from
any forward-looking statements which may be deemed to have been made in this
Prospectus or which are otherwise made by or on behalf of the Company. For this
purpose, any statements contained in this Prospectus that are not statements of
historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, words such as "may", "will", "expect",
"believe", "anticipate", "intend", "could", "estimate", or "continue" or the
negative variations thereof or comparable terminology are intended to identify
forward-looking statements. Factors which may effect the Company's results
include, but are not limited to, the risks and uncertainties associated with
data processing and system sales. The Company is also subject to other risks
detailed herein or detailed from time to time in the Company's Commission
filings. Factors that could cause or contribute to such difference include, but
are not limited to, those discussed in "Risk Factors" below, as well as those
discussed elsewhere in this Prospectus and in the Company's filings with the
Commission.
RISK FACTORS
An investment in the securities offered hereby is speculative and involves
a high degree of risk and should only be purchased by investors who can afford
to lose their entire investment. Prospective purchasers, prior to making an
investment, should carefully consider the following risks and speculative
factors, as well as other information set forth elsewhere in this Prospectus. As
discussed above, this Prospectus contains, in addition to historical
information, forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.
The Company's actual results could differ materially. Factors that could cause
or contribute to such difference include, but are not limited to, those
discussed below, as well as those discussed elsewhere in this Prospectus.
1. Dependence on Governmental Program.
For its fiscal years ended May 31, 1996 and 1995, and the fiscal nine month
periods ended February 28, 1997 and 1996, approximately 51%, 61%, 76% and 67%,
respectively, of the Company's revenues were derived from data processing and
other related services rendered to vendor agencies under contract with the Human
Resources Agency of the City of New York ("HRA"). Such vendor agencies receive a
substantial portion of their operating funds from the federal government through
its Medicaid program; the balance of their funding is provided by the State and
City of New York. Management believes that operations will, for the foreseeable
future, continue to be dependent upon revenues generated from such vendor
agencies. Elimination of the home attendant services program by HRA or a
substantial cut-back in the level of funding of this program by the federal,
state or city governments would have, through the impact of such cut-backs on
the vendor agencies, a material adverse effect on the Company. See "Item
1--Description of Business--Principal Products and Services" in the Form 10-KSB.
A-7
2. Technological Obsolescence.
The data processing and computer software fields are characterized by rapid
technological developments and advances, often resulting in partial or total
obsolescence of systems. There is no assurance that the Company's research and
development activities will permit it to keep abreast of new developments. See
"Item 1--Description of Business--Research and Development" in the Form 10-KSB.
3. Competition.
Some of the Company's competitors are larger and have greater financial
resources than the Company. Furthermore, the Company's customers may find it
desirable to perform for themselves the services being rendered by the Company.
The Company also competes with larger and better established companies for the
hiring of qualified technical and marketing personnel. See "Item 1--Description
of Business--Competition" in the Form 10-KSB.
4. Pending Litigation by MCI Telecommunications Corp.
On April 10, 1997, the Company received notice that MCI had commenced an
action against it in the United States District Court for the Eastern District
of New York alleging that the Company's Santrax time and attendance system
infringes on certain patent rights allegedly owned by plaintiff. The complaint
seeks compensatory and treble damages with interest and injunctive relief. The
Company intends to vigorously defend this action. On May 13, 1997, the Company
filed its Answer. Among other things, pursuant to the Answer, the Company denies
that its product infringes MCI's patent rights and asserts certain affirmative
defenses. In addition, the Answer contains a counterclaim challenging the
validity of MCI's alleged patent rights.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, because of the uncertainties of litigation,
no assurances can be given as to the outcome of the MCI litigation. In the event
that the Company were not to prevail in this litigation the Company could be
required to pay significant damages to MCI and could be enjoined from further
use of the Santrax system as it presently exists. Although a negative outcome in
the MCI litigation would have a material adverse affect on the Company,
including, but not limited to, its operations and financial condition, the
Company believes that, if it is held that the Company's system infringes MCI's
patent rights, the Company would attempt to design a system to replace Santrax
or would attempt to negotiate with MCI to utilize its system, although no
assurances can be given that the Company would be successful in these attempts.
At the present time, the Company can not assess the possible cost of
implementing a new system or obtaining rights from MCI.
Since late 1993, the Company has been engaged from time to time in
negotiations relating to the use of MCI's telephone services in connection with
the Santrax system. In late 1996, MCI and the Company discussed, among other
things, that the Company could pay a lesser per call charge for such services if
the Company and MCI agreed that the Company's technology did not
A-8
violate U.S. Patent 5,255,183 (the "Katz Patent"), which is the subject of the
MCI litigation. No such agreement was ever reached.
For the fiscal year ended May 31, 1996 and nine months ended February 28,
1997, approximately 19.8% and 33.4% of the Company's revenues, respectively,
were derived from fees associated with the Santrax product.
MCI has advised that it owns two pending patent applications that are
related to the Katz Patent. Since those patent applications have not issued to
patent and are confidential at the U.S. Patent Office, the Company is unable to
determine the scope of any patent applications. In addition, one or both of such
applications could be amended by MCI. There can be no assurances that these
patent applications, either as originally filed or as amended, will not issue as
patents with claims that cover the Santrax system.
5. Proprietary Rights.
The Company does not own, nor has it applied for, Federal Copyright
registration on its computer software systems now in existence or being
developed. However, the Company believes that its computer software systems are
proprietary trade secrets and that they, together with the documentation,
manuals, training aids, instructions and other materials supplied by the Company
to customers, are subject to the proprietary rights of the Company and protected
by applicable law. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be
able to protect itself against misappropriation of its proprietary rights and
trade secrets. See "Item 1--Business--Proprietary Rights" in the Form 10-KSB.
6. Control by Current Stockholders.
The Company's Certificate of Incorporation does not provide for cumulative
voting. Therefore, stockholders owning in excess of 50% of the outstanding
shares of the Company's Common Stock are able to elect all the members of the
Board of Directors. As of the date of this Prospectus, present management of the
Company owns approximately 68.1% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common
Stock of the Company and will be able to elect all of the Company's directors
and to control the Company. However, upon the completion of this offering, as to
which no assurances can be made, the present management of the Company will own
13.2% in the aggregate of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company's
Common Stock.
7. Effect of Outstanding Exercisable Securities.
As of the date of this Prospectus, the Company had currently exercisable
outstanding options and warrants to purchase shares of the Company's Common
Stock exercisable at various prices from $1.38 to $7.00, subject to adjustment
per share, pursuant to which an aggregate of 1,575,259 shares of Common Stock
(subject to adjustment) may be issued. This includes warrants
A-9
granted to the Company's Chairman and options granted to various directors,
officers, employees and consultants.
During the respective terms of the Company's outstanding derivative
securities, the holders thereof may be able to purchase shares of Common Stock
at prices substantially below the then-current market price of the Company's
Common Stock with a resultant dilution in the interests of the existing
stockholders. In addition, the exercise of outstanding derivative securities and
the subsequent public sales of Common Stock by holders of such securities
pursuant to this offering, a registration statement effected at their demand,
under Rule 144 or otherwise, could have an adverse effect upon the market for
and price of the Company's securities.
8. Shares Eligible for Future Sale May Adversely Affect
the Market.
870,420 of the Company's outstanding shares of Common Stock (exclusive of
shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding options and
warrants) are "restricted securities" and, in the future, may be sold upon
compliance with Rule 144 or pursuant to registration (effected by demand or
other rights granted to certain stockholders) under the Securities Act. Rule 144
currently provides, in essence, that a person holding "restricted securities"
for a period of one year may sell an amount every three months up to the greater
of (a) 1% of the Company's issued and outstanding securities of that class of
securities or (b) the average weekly volume of sales of such securities during
the four calendar weeks preceding the sale if there is adequate current public
information available concerning the Company. Additionally, non-affiliates (who
have not been affiliates of the Company for at least three months) may sell
their "restricted securities" in compliance with Rule 144 without volume
limitations after they have held such securities for a period of two years. An
aggregate of 442,754 shares of Common Stock have been owned by Messrs. Brodsky,
Freund and Stoller for more than two years. However, such shares are subject to
an agreement with Barber & Bronson Incorporated ("B&B") imposing certain
restrictions on the public sale thereof until December 22, 1997 without B&B's
consent. B&B has authorized Messrs. Brodsky, Freund and Stoller to register an
aggregate of 1,238,140 Shares, which amount includes outstanding shares of
Common Stock as well as shares of Common Stock underlying presently exercisable
options and warrants, on the condition that sales of such Shares be made through
B&B. See "Plan of Distribution".
The Company is registering hereunder 1,644,445 Shares issuable to certain
stockholders upon the exercise of options granted, and which may be granted,
under the Plans, and the resale of such Shares by such stockholders. In
addition, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (the "Form
S-3") which was declared effective by the Commission on June 3, 1997 registering
for sale 1,988,140 shares of Common Stock held by certain stockholders,
including, without limitation, shares of Common Stock underlying certain options
and warrants. Such Shares being registered hereunder and pursuant to the Form
S-3 may be resold at any time. Prospective investors should be aware that the
possibility of resales by the Selling Stockholders, as well as other
stockholders of the Company, may have a material depressive effect on the market
price of the Company's shares of Common Stock in any market which may develop.
A-10
9. Ability to Renew Present Financing; Significant Outstanding
Indebtedness; Loan Covenants and Security Interests.
From time to time the Company and/or its subsidiaries have entered into
loan arrangements with Marine Midland Bank (the "Bank"), among others. As of
February 28, 1997, the Company owed the Bank $237,486.
On April 18, 1997, the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, Sandsport Data
Services, Inc. ("Sandsport") entered into a Revolving Credit Agreement (the
"Credit Agreement") with the Bank which allows Sandsport to borrow and re-borrow
amounts up to $3,000,000. Interest accrues on amounts outstanding under the
Credit Agreement at a rate equal to the London Interbank Offered Rate plus 2%
and will be paid quarterly in arrears or, at Sandsport's option, interest may
accrue at the Bank's prime rate. The Credit Agreement required Sandsport to pay
a commitment fee in the amount of $30,000 and a fee equal to 1/4% per annum
payable on the unused average daily balance of amounts under the Credit
Agreement. In addition, there are other fees and charges imposed based upon
Sandsport's failure to maintain certain minimum balances. The Credit Agreement
will expire on March 1, 2000. The indebtedness under the Credit Agreement is
guaranteed by the Company and Sandsport's sister subsidiaries (the "Group"). The
collateral for the facility is a first lien on all equipment owned by members of
the Group, as well as a collateral assignment of $2,000,000 of life insurance
payable on the life of Mr. Brodsky. The Group's guaranty to the Bank, relating
to the bonds discussed below, was modified to conform covenants described
therein to comply with those in the Credit Agreement.
All of the Group assets are pledged to the Bank as collateral for the
amounts due under the Credit Agreement. The Group is prohibited from incurring
additional indebtedness except under certain circumstances.
In addition, pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Group is required to
maintain certain levels of net worth and meet certain financial ratios in
addition to various other affirmative and negative covenants. The Group has, in
the past, under prior agreements with the Bank, failed to meet these net worth
and financial ratios, and the Bank has granted the Group waivers. No assurance
can be given that the Group will be able to meet these net worth and financial
requirements in the future, and/or that the Bank will continue to grant to the
Group waivers. Although in the past the Bank has renewed its loans to the
Company when they matured, there can be no assurance that it will continue to do
so or that the Company, if the Bank does not renew the loan, will be able to
arrange alternative financing on terms satisfactory to it.
In addition, the Company is indebted to companies affiliated with the
Company's Chairman in the amount, as of February 28, 1997, of $1,297,000. Of
this amount, as of February 28, 1997, an aggregate of $462,000 of indebtedness
was evidenced by notes due in December 1997 and May 1998.
A-11
On June 1, 1994, BFS Sibling Realty Inc., formerly known as Brodsky Sibling
Realty, Inc. ("BFS") borrowed $3,350,000 in the form of Industrial Development
Revenue Bonds ("Bonds") to finance costs incurred in connection with the
acquisition, renovation and equipping of the Company's office space located at
26 Harbor Park Drive, Port Washington, New York (the "Facility" or the
"Building") from the Nassau County Industrial Development Agency (the "NCIDA").
These Bonds were subsequently purchased by the Bank. The aggregate cost incurred
by BFS in conjunction with such acquisition, renovation and equipping was
approximately $4,377,000. In addition, the Company incurred approximately
$500,000 of indebtedness to affiliates of Mr. Brodsky in connection with
additional capital improvements. The Bonds bore interest at prime plus 3/4 of 1%
until August 11, 1995, at which time the interest rate became fixed at 9% for a
five-year term through September 1, 2000. At that time, the interest rate will
be adjusted to a rate of either prime plus 3/4 of 1%, or the applicable fixed
rate if offered by the Bank. As a condition to the issuance of the Bonds, the
NCIDA obtained title to the Facility which it then leased to BFS. On June 21,
1994 (as of June 1, 1994), the Company and its Chairman guaranteed the full and
prompt payment of principal and interest of the Bonds and the Company granted
the Bank a security interest and lien on all the assets of the Company. In
connection with the issuance and sale of the Bonds, the Company entered into a
lease agreement (the "Sublease") with BFS, whereby the Company leased the
Facility for the conduct of its business and, in consideration therefor, was
obligated to make lease payments that at least equal amounts due to satisfy the
underlying Bond obligations.
On July 31, 1995, by an Assignment and Assumption and First Amendment to
Lease between the Company and BFS, the Company assumed the obligations of BFS
under the lease and became the direct tenant and the beneficial owner of the
Facility (collectively the "Assignment Transaction"). In connection with the
Assignment Transaction, the Sublease was terminated. During the period
commencing July 1, 1995 and ending October 31, 1996 the Company paid rent for
the Facility to the NCIDA in the amount of $48,600 per month, subject to
adjustment based upon the then effective interest rate of the Bonds, among other
things. In connection with the Assignment Transaction, the Company obtained the
right to acquire the Facility upon expiration of the lease with the NCIDA (the
"Lease") and became directly liable to the NCIDA for amounts due thereunder. In
connection with the Assignment Transaction, the Company assumed certain
indebtedness owed to affiliates of the Company's Chairman as follows: (i) the
$364,570 remaining balance of a 48-month term loan bearing interest at 8.7% per
annum, and (ii) the $428,570 remaining balance of a 42-month term loan bearing
interest at 8.91%. Each of the foregoing loans were incurred in connection with
the construction of improvements to the Building, are collateralized by the
assets of the primary obligor and are guaranteed by the Company's Chairman.
On August 11, 1995, the Company entered into a $750,000 loan agreement with
the Long Island Development Corporation ("LIDC"), under a guarantee by the U.S.
Small Business Administration ("SBA") (the "SBA Loan"). The entire $750,000
proceeds have been used to repay a portion of the Bonds. The Company entered
into the Assignment Transaction primarily to satisfy certain requirements of the
SBA. The SBA Loan is payable in 240 monthly installments of $6,255, which
includes principal and interest at a rate of 7.015%.
A-12
As of November 1, 1996, the Company entered into an Assignment and
Assumption of and Second Amendment to Lease Agreement among BFS Realty, LLC, an
affiliate of the Company's Directors (the "Assignee"), the Bank and the Company
(the "Second Amendment"). In connection with the Second Amendment, (i) the
Assignee assumed all of the Company's obligations under the Lease with the NCIDA
and entered into a sublease with the Company for the Facility; and (ii) the
Company conveyed to the Assignee the right to become the owner of the Facility
upon expiration of the Lease. In addition, pursuant to the sublease, the Company
has assumed certain obligations owed by the Assignee to the NCIDA under the
Lease. The Assignee has indemnified the Company with respect to certain
obligations relative to the Lease and the Second Amendment.
The documentation with regard to each of the foregoing contain various
covenants requiring and/or restricting the Company from taking various action.
Among other things, the documentation relating to the SBA Loan contains certain
covenants which require certain principal stockholders of the Company to
maintain certain levels of equity in the Company. Such restriction could impact
the Company's ability to engage in equity financings and a violation of such
covenant could result in a default under the SBA Loan. In the past, the Company
has been able to obtain a waiver of such provision, however, no assurances can
be made that it will continue to be able to do so. Messrs. Brodsky, Freund and
Stoller have advised the Company that, if as a result of action taken by any of
them, a default occurs under the SBA Loan, such individuals shall either cure
such default, if possible, or satisfy the obligation.
10. Limited Marketing Capability.
The Company has limited marketing capabilities and resources. To date,
substantially all of the Company's commercial marketing activities have been
conducted by sales representatives directly employed by the Company and
independent sales agents. Such activities have consisted primarily of personal
contact with potential customers. Because of the nature of the Company's
business, management will continue to devote a substantial amount of time
developing and maintaining continuing personal relationships with the Company's
customers. See "Item 1-- Description of Business--Marketing and Distribution" in
the Form 10-KSB.
11. Dependence on Key Personnel.
The Company is dependent upon the expertise and abilities of three key
executive personnel: Bert E. Brodsky, Chairman of the Board, President and
Treasurer, Hugh Freund, Executive Vice President and Secretary, and Gary
Stoller, Executive Vice President. Messrs. Stoller and Freund are not parties to
any employment agreements with the Company; Effective February 1, 1997 the
Company and Mr. Brodsky entered into an employment agreement for a five year
term (the "Brodsky Employment Agreement"). Among other things, the Brodsky
Employment Agreement provides for compensation at the annual rate of $500,000.
See--"Subsequent Events". The Company's agreement with the Bank requires that
Mr. Brodsky at all times be active on a substantially full-time basis in the
affairs of the Company. The Company or its subsidiaries is the
A-13
beneficiary under certain key-man life insurance policies on the life of each of
Messrs. Brodsky and Freund in the amounts of $4,500,000 and $1,400,000,
respectively, the benefits of which are payable to the Company. Of such
insurance benefits, an aggregate of $2,000,000 on the life of Mr. Brodsky has
been pledged to the Bank. However, if the Company were to lose the services of
any of these key personnel as a result of disability, death or otherwise the
Company could be in default under its agreement with the Bank and its business
could be adversely affected.
12. No Dividends.
To date, the Company has not paid any cash dividends on its Common Stock
and does not expect to declare or pay any cash or other dividends in the
foreseeable future. Dividends are restricted pursuant to the terms of the Credit
Agreement between the Company and the Bank. See "Item 5 - Market for Common
Equity and Related Stockholder Matters--Dividend Policy" in the Form 10-KSB.
13. Unascertainable Risks Related to Possible Acquisitions.
The Company intends to explore opportunities to add, through acquisition or
licensing, technology or products to enhance or add to its current product line,
or to acquire a customer base or sales organization to augment the Company's
infrastructure. In exploring potential acquisitions or licenses, the Company
will consider, among other criteria: the comparative cost to the Company in
capital, resources and personnel to create the identified technology or product,
or to establish the targeted customer base or sales organization; restrictions
to the Company developing similar technology or products arising from patent or
other intellectual property protection; and the synergy of the identified
technology or products, or customer base or sales organization, with the
Company's products and organization. Although the Company anticipates it will
follow the foregoing general criteria in determining whether or not to make any
acquisitions, management will have sole discretion over whether or not to engage
in an acquisition. There can be no assurance that the Company will identify any
acquisition or licensing candidates or, if it does, that it will be able to
reach any agreements to acquire or license technology or products, or acquire
assets, on terms acceptable to the Company. To the extent that the Company
effects an acquisition of technology or products in the early stage of
development or growth (including technology or products which have not been
fully tested or marketed), the Company will be subject to numerous risks
inherent in developmental technology and other high level of risk associated
with high technology industries based on innovative technologies or processes.
Furthermore, future acquisition transactions may require the Company to obtain
additional financing from banks or financial institutions or to undertake debt
or equity financing. No assurance can be given that the Company would be able to
obtain financing upon commercially reasonable terms, or at all. Furthermore,
equity financing will result in a dilution of existing Stockholders of the
Company, which may be significant. To the extent that debt financing ultimately
proves to be available, any borrowings may subject the Company to various risks
traditionally associated with the incurring of indebtedness, including the risks
of interest rate fluctuations and insufficiency of cash flow to pay principal
and interest.
A-14
Although the Company will endeavor to evaluate the risks inherent in a
particular acquisition, there can be no assurance that the Company will properly
ascertain or assess such significant risk factors.
The Company provides data processing services to National Medical Health
Card Systems, Inc. ("Health Card"), a company of which affiliates of Mr. Brodsky
are principal stockholders, and which is engaged in the administration of
pharmacy prescription reimbursement programs for unions and other benefit
providers. The Company is, and has been, considering entering into the pharmacy
prescription reimbursement administration business directly or through one or
more acquisitions of existing companies, including, without limitation, Health
Card.
In a June 19, 1997 press release, which press release is filed as an
exhibit to the 1997 Form 8-K, the Company announced that it has commenced
negotiations for a business combination with Health Card. Health Card has over
42,000 pharmacies throughout the United States participating in its network.
During its fiscal year ended June 30, 1996, Health Card added 120,000 covered
lives, and since 1995, it has expanded its client base by eighteen (18%)
percent. During its fiscal year ended June 30, 1996, Health Card's pre-tax
earnings were $1,039,000 on $57,000,000 in revenues, of which it derived $38,000
in revenues in connection with pharmacy prescription reimbursement services
rendered to the Company. During its fiscal year ended May 31, 1996, the Company
derived $1,970,000 in revenues from data processing and programming services
provided to Health Card and from the rental of office space to Health Card.
The Company is also considering several other possible acquisition
candidates in such industry; however, other than the formal negotiations with
Health Card, the Company is only in the preliminary stages of such consideration
with any other such company. Accordingly, no assurances can be made as to
whether (i) the Company will enter into the business directly, (ii) any of the
acquisitions presently being considered will be consummated, (iii) if
consummated, the terms upon which any such acquisitions may occur, and (iv) if
consummated, whether such acquisitions, including, without limitation, the
business combination with Health Card, will be successful. Except as set forth
above, as of the date of this Prospectus, the Company has no other specific
plans with respect to material acquisitions. In addition to the foregoing, the
Company may, from time to time, enter into agreements with related parties. In
such case, the Company anticipates that the terms of such agreements will be
commercially reasonable and no less favorable to the Company than the Company
could obtain from unrelated third parties. Additionally, the Company intends
that such agreements will be approved by a majority of disinterested directors.
14. Securities Market Factors.
In recent years, the securities markets have experienced a high level of
volume volatility and market prices for many companies, particularly small and
emerging growth companies, have been subject to wide fluctuations in response to
quarterly variations in operating results. The securities of many of theses
companies which trade in the over-the-counter market, have experienced wide
price fluctuations, which in many cases were unrelated to the operating
performance of, or announcements concerning, the issuers of the affected stock.
Factors such as announcements by the
A-15
Company or its competitors concerning technological innovations, new products or
procedures, government regulations and developments or disputes relating to
proprietary rights may have a significant impact on the market for the Company's
securities. General market price declines or market volatility in the future
could adversely affect the future price of the Company's securities.
15. Prior Public Announcements.
In a January 20, 1997 Newsday article, Mr. Brodsky was referred to as
saying that the Company could have revenues "in excess of 12 million" for the
fiscal year ended May 31, 1997. As of the date of this Prospectus, the Company
anticipates that revenue for the fiscal year ended May 31, 1997 will likely be
between $11 million and $12 million. The foregoing constitutes a forward-
looking statement as to which no assurances can be given with respect to the
outcome thereof. Factors making it problematic to determine the outcome of the
foregoing statements include, among other things, general market and economic
factors affecting the Company's sales in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year
ended May 31, 1997.
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Effective February 1, 1997, the Company and Mr. Brodsky entered into the
Brodsky Employment Agreement providing for, among other things, compensation at
the annual rate of $500,000 plus such bonuses or additional compensation that
the Board of Directors of the Company may, on the basis of improvements in the
Company's performance or other reasonable criteria, deem appropriate. During the
5 year term of the Brodsky Employment Agreement, the employee shall also be
provided with a full-time use of a Company automobile, six (6) weeks paid
vacation annually and group medical insurance and other benefits or programs
which the Company establishes or is made available to its employees.
In March 1997, Sandsport entered into a sale/lease-back transaction with
General Electric Capital Corporation ("GEC") whereby certain fixed assets,
including, without limitation, a certain program licensing agreement (the
"License") (the "Assets"), were sold to GEC for $981,000 and concurrently leased
back to Sandsport. The License was originally paid for by Sandsport and
inadvertently registered in the name of an affiliate of Mr. Brodsky for which
the Company provides services, but was assigned to Sandsport in connection with
the above-mentioned lease. The lease requires monthly rental payments of
$25,465.98 commencing on May 1, 1997 for a term of 38 months, and provides
Sandsport the option to purchase the Assets for $200,000 upon expiration of the
lease. Sandsport contemporaneously assigned such purchase option to P.W. Capital
Corp., an affiliate of the Company's Chairman ("PW"), which agreed to purchase
the Assets from GEC subject to the terms of the lease. PW acquired the right to
purchase the Assets in consideration of its posting a letter of credit in
connection with such lease. As of May 28, 1997, PW transferred its right to
purchase the Assets to a third party which is not affiliated with the Company,
subject to GEC's consent.

office or other material relationship with the Company or any of its affiliates
during the past three years (other than as a holder of the Company's
securities), except that (i) Bert E. Brodsky has served as Chairman of the
Board, and Treasurer of the Company since 1983 and President since 1989; (ii)
Hugh Freund has served as a director of the Company since 1978, Executive Vice
President of the Company since 1986 and Secretary since 1995; (iii) Gary Stoller
has served as a director and Executive Vice President of the Company since 1983;
and (iv) Carol Freund has served as an employee of the Company since 1978.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The Shares set forth in the "Selling Stockholders" table may be sold by the
Selling Stockholders, or by pledgees, donees, transferees or other successors in
interest, either pursuant to
A-18
the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus forms a part or, if
available, under Section 4(1) of the Securities Act or Rule 144 promulgated
thereunder.
To the Company's knowledge, this offering is not being underwritten. The
Company believes that the Selling Stockholders, directly through agents
designated from time to time, or through broker-dealers or underwriters also to
be designated (who may purchase as principal and resell for their own account),
may sell the Shares from time to time, in or through privately negotiated
transactions, or in one or more transactions, including block transactions, on
the NASDAQ SmallCap Market or on any other market or stock exchange on which the
Shares may be listed in the future pursuant to and in accordance with the
applicable rules of such market or exchange or otherwise. The selling price of
the Shares may be at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices
relating to such prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. From time to
time the Selling Stockholders may engage in short sales against the box, puts
and calls and other transactions in securities of the Company or derivatives
thereof, and may sell and deliver the shares in connection therewith. Further,
except as set forth herein, the Selling Stockholders are not restricted as to
the number of shares which may be sold at any one time, and it is possible that
a significant number of shares could be sold at the same time, which may have a
depressive effect on the market price of the Company's shares of Common Stock.
The Selling Stockholders may also pledge shares as collateral for margin
accounts, and such shares could be resold pursuant to the terms of such
accounts. Resales or reoffers of the Shares by the Selling Stockholders must be
accompanied by a copy of this Prospectus.
The Selling Stockholders and any agents, broker-dealers or underwriters
that participate in the distribution of the Shares may be deemed to be
underwriters, and any profit on the sale of the Shares by them, and any
discounts, commissions or concessions received by them, may be deemed to be
underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act.
The Shares offered for resale herein for the accounts of Messrs. Brodsky,
Freund and Stoller are subject, among other things, to an agreement with B&B
imposing certain restrictions on public sale thereof until December 22, 1997
without B&B's consent. B&B has authorized Messrs. Brodsky, Freund and Stoller to
register an aggregate of 1,238,140 shares, which amount includes outstanding
shares of Common Stock as well as shares of Common Stock underlying presently
exercisable options and warrants, on the condition that sales of such Shares be
made though B&B.
