Prior to the Merger, INS Delaware had no assets or liabilities other than nominal assets or liabilities. In connection with the Merger, INS Delaware succeeded by operation of law to all of the assets and liabilities of INS California. The Merger was approved by the shareholders of INS California at a meeting for which proxies were solicited pursuant to Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). Except as modified by this Amendment No. 1, INS Delaware, by virtue of this Amendment, expressly adopts the Registration Statement as its own registration statement for all purposes of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act. II-1 INTERNATIONAL NETWORK SERVICES REGISTRATION STATEMENT ON FORM S-8 PART II ITEM 3. INCORPORATION OF DOCUMENTS BY REFERENCE. The contents of the Registration Statement are incorporated herein by reference. In addition, there are hereby incorporated by reference in this Amendment the following documents and information heretofore filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission: (a) The Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1998, filed pursuant to Section 13(a) of the Exchange Act; (b) The Registrant's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 1998, filed pursuant to Section 13(a) of the Exchange Act; (c) The Registrant's Current Report on Form 8-K dated November 20, 1998, filed pursuant to Section 13(a) of the Exchange Act; (d) The Registrant's Current Report on Form 8-K dated December 17, 1998, filed pursuant to Section 13(a) of the Exchange Act; (e) The Registrant's Current Report on Form 8-K dated December 28, 1998, filed pursuant to Section 13(a) of the Exchange Act; and (f) The description of the Registrant's Common Stock contained in the Registrant's Registration Statement on Form 8-A filed August 2, 1996 pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act, which was declared effective on September 18, 1996, including any amendment or report filed for the purpose of updating such description.

ITEM 4. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES. Not Applicable. ITEM 5. INTEREST OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL. Not Applicable. ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS. The Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation limits the liability of the Registrant's directors to the maximum extent permitted by Delaware law. Delaware law provides that a corporation's certificate of incorporation may contain a provision eliminating or limiting the personal liability of a director for monetary II-2 damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of their duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) for unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions as provided in section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. The Registrant's Bylaws provide that the Registrant shall indemnify its directors and officers and may indemnify its employees and other agents to the fullest extent permitted by law. The Registrant believes that indemnification under its Bylaws covers at least negligence and gross negligence on the part of indemnified parties. The Registrant has entered into agreements to indemnify its directors, executive officers and certain key employees, in addition to the indemnification provided for in the Registrant's Bylaws. Subject to certain conditions, these agreements, among other things, indemnify the Registrant's directors, officers and certain key employees for certain expenses (including attorney's fees), judgments, fines and settlement amounts incurred by any such person in any action or proceeding, including any action by or in the right of the Registrant, arising out of such person's services as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Registrant, any subsidiary of the Registrant or any other company or enterprise to which the person provides services at the request of the Registrant.

(a) The 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 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. (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, 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. (b) The Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. (c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to law, the Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws or indemnification agreements, 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 Securities 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 of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. II-4 SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Sunnyvale, State of California, on this 30th day of December 1998.
