Prospectus Summary
This Summary Is Qualified In Its Entirety By The More Detailed Information
Appearing Elsewhere In This Prospectus
The Company
We are a corporation that was organized under the laws of the State of
Delaware (the "Company" or "Magnitude") on April 19, 1988 under the name
Fortunistics Inc. On March 4, 1993, we changed our name to Whitestone
Industries, Inc. On July 14, 1997, the Company changed its name to Proformix
Systems, Inc., and on November 18, 1998, the Company changed its name to
Magnitude Information Systems, Inc. .
The Company's primary product is an integrated suite of proprietary
software modules marketed under the name "ErgoManagerTM" which are designed to
help individual computer users and businesses increase productivity and reduce
the risk of potentially preventable repetitive stress injury (RSI). These
software modules can be applied individually or together in a comprehensive
ergonomic and early intervention program that seeks to modify a user's behavior
by monitoring computer usage patterns over time and warning the user when to
break a dangerous trend in repetitive usage of an input device, such as a
keyboard or mouse. The product was developed to train people working on
computers, monitor computer-use related activities and evaluate a user's risk
exposure and propensity towards injury or loss of effectiveness in connection
with his/her day-to-day work. Moreover, the software enables a company to not
only address the issue of health risks involving employees and to minimize
resulting potential liabilities, but delivers a powerful tool to increase
overall productivity.
Background
On June 24, 1997, the Company entered into an acquisition agreement
whereby it acquired substantially all of the outstanding stock of Proformix,
Inc., a Delaware corporation and manufacturer of ergonomic keyboarding systems.
Proformix, Inc. in November 1998 changed its name to Magnitude, Inc. and is
hereafter referred to as Magnitude, Inc. The business combination took the form
of a reverse acquisition. The Company and Magnitude, Inc. remain as two separate
legal entities whereby Magnitude, Inc. operates as a subsidiary of Magnitude
Information Systems, Inc.. The operations of the newly combined entity are
currently comprised solely of the operations of Magnitude, Inc.
On February 2, 1998, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of
Merger with Rolina Corporation, a privately held New Jersey software developing
firm, and on April 30, 1998, into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Vanity
Software Publishing Co., a Canadian developer of specialized software, whereby
the Company, in return for payments in form of cash and equity, acquired the
rights to certain software products and related assets, with such software
products subsequently forming the basis for the further development during the
year of the Company's proprietary ErgoManagerTM software product.

The Offering
Securities offered 29,183,218 shares of common stock, $.0001
par value, including 1,000,000 shares of
common stock issuable upon conversion of
Series C Preferred Stock; 638,900 shares of
common stock issuable upon the conversion of
Series D Preferred Stock; 2,002,016 shares
of common stock issuable upon the exercise
of Warrants; 5.849,866 shares of common
stock issuable upon the exercise of stock
options; 998,900 shares of common stock
issuable upon the conversion of a
convertible note. See "Selling Shareholders"
at page 16.
Selling Shareholders The selling shareholders are identified in
this prospectus at page 16 together with the
maximum amount of our common shares that
each may sell either outright or upon
conversion or exercise of rights under their
respective preferred stock, warrants, stock
options and the convertible note or
subsequent to consummation of the
subscription agreement. See "Selling
Shareholders" at page 16.
Plan of Distribution Up to 29,183,218 shares of common stock may
be offered and sold by the selling
shareholders through agents or brokers,
acting as principal, agent in transactions,
which may involve block transactions, on the
Electronic Bulletin Board, over-the-counter
market or on other exchanges on which the
shares are then listed, pursuant to the
rules of the applicable exchanges or in the
over-the-counter market, or otherwise, at
market prices prevailing at the time of
sale, at negotiated prices or at fixed
prices; through brokers or agents in private
sales at negotiated prices; or by any other
legally available means.
Offering Price At prevailing market prices on the
Electronic Bulletin Board or on other
exchanges on which the shares are then
listed or at negotiated prices.
Use of Proceeds We will not obtain any funds from the sale
of the common stock sold by the selling
shareholders. We will receive up to
$4,025,717 in proceeds from the cash
exercise of the warrants and stock options
currently outstanding and included in this
prospectus. However, due to current market
conditions as well as the fact that the
exercise prices of most of these warrants
and options have been higher than the
current market price of our stock, it is
unlikely that we will realize the receipt of
any proceeds from the exercise of these
warrants and options. If the market price
for our common stock increases to permit the
exercise of these warrants and options, we
intend to use any such cash proceeds
received for general corporate purposes,
which may include repaying indebtedness,
making additions to our working capital,
funding future acquisitions or for further
developing our products and hiring
additional personnel.
5
Securities Outstanding We are authorized to issue up to an
aggregate 100,000,000 shares of common stock
and 3,000,000 shares of preferred stock of
which 79,624,641 common shares and 526,582
preferred shares were issued and outstanding
at May 21, 2004. Two developments may
increase our outstanding number of common
shares: first, if the selling shareholders
exercise all of their rights to convert
and/or exercise all of their preferred
shares, warrants, stock options, and the
convertible note, an additional 10,489,682
common shares, representing part of the
shares being registered, will be
outstanding, and; secondly, we have filed a
second registration statement, registering
an additional 26,290,037 common shares for
new investors and, as with the selling
shareholders in this prospectus, if all of
them exercise and/or convert their stock
options and warrants into common shares, we
will have 93,088,323 outstanding common
shares. We have in reserve an additional
2,464,918 authorized preferred shares that
we may issue in one or more series with such
rights, preferences and privileges as may be
determined by our Board of Directors.
Risk Factors An investment in our common shares is highly
speculative and any purchasers will suffer
substantial dilution per common share
compared to the purchase price. We have
suffered losses for the first quarter 2004
December 31, 2003 of $ 2,337,881 and losses
of $702,513 and losses for the during 2002.
We will need additional funding. No person
should invest in our common shares who
cannot afford to risk the loss of his
or her entire investment. See "Risk Factors"
at page 7.

RISK FACTORS
You should carefully consider the risks described below when evaluating
your ownership of the Magnitude common stock. The risks and uncertainties
described below are not the only ones Magnitude faces. Additional risks and
uncertainties we are presently not aware of or that we currently consider
immaterial may also impair Magnitude's business operations.
If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business, financial
condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected. In
such case the trading price of our common stock could decline significantly.
We Continue to Suffer Financial Losses in our Business.
We have a history of losses and if we do not achieve profitability we
may not be able to continue our business in the future. We have incurred
substantial operating losses since our inception, which has resulted in an
accumulated deficit of approximately $23,705,641 as of December 31, 2003 of
which approximately $7 million are attributable to its discontinued hardware
product line. For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, we incurred
losses of $2,337,881 and $2,763,104, respectively, and losses of $702,513 for
the first quarter of 2004. We have financed our operations primarily through the
sales of equity and debt securities. Our expense levels are high and our
revenues are difficult to predict. We anticipate incurring additional losses
until we increase our client base and revenues. We may never achieve or sustain
significant revenues or profitability. If we are unable to achieve increased
revenues, we will continue to have losses and may not be able to continue our
operations.
Our Auditors Have Rendered An Opinion Raising Doubts as to Whether We Can
Continue Operations.
Our auditors have expressed their opinion that based upon our financial
condition as shown in our financial statements for our fiscal year that ended on
December 31,2003 they have substantial doubts whether or not we will be able to
continue in business as an operating company. See "Financial Statements".
We Need Additional Financing.
We could be required to cut back or stop operations if we are unable to
raise or obtain needed funding. Our ability to continue operations will depend
on our positive cash flow, if any, from future operations or our ability to
raise additional funds through equity or debt financing. At present, we have not
received firm commitments for private financings in amounts sufficient to cover
the working capital necessary to continue to finance our operations and execute
our business plan. Although we anticipate that future revenues and new capital
from private and institutional investors with whom we are currently in
negotiations will be sufficient to fund our current operations and capital
requirements for the current fiscal year, we cannot give you any assurance that
these negotiations will result in definite agreements that will provide such
needed capital. We could be required to cut back or stop operations if we are
unable to raise or obtain funds when needed.
7
We Do Not Have A Proven Software Sales Record
We do not have a proven software sales record and have made only
limited sales of our software products. Our total revenues for software sales
and licenses and support services for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002
were approximately $ 162,335 and $369,443, respectively. For the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2003, we have revenues of only $ 162,335 and for the first
quarter of 2004, we have revenues of only $44,580. As a result of our lack of
proven sales success and lack of evidence that the business or consumer
marketplaces have accepted our software products, you and other investors may
not have enough or sufficient financial and operational information about us
that is necessary in order to properly evaluate the risks of making any
investment in our stock.
We Are Not Certain That Customers Will Buy Our Products.
Our revenues depend on sales of our specialized software products and
we are uncertain whether there will be broad market acceptance of these
products. Our revenue growth for the foreseeable future is largely dependent
upon increased sales of our ErgoManagerTM suite of software products. Since the
introduction of our ErgoManagerTM software products in November, 1998 and
through December 31, 2003, revenue from our software products has been
approximately $1,962,000 (prior to this time, we had sales of approximately
$63,000 based upon a predecessor version of the ErgoManagerTM software}.
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003, we had revenues from the
sales of software product licenses and support services of $162,335. Our future
financial performance will depend upon the successful introduction and customer
acceptance of our ErgoManagerTM software products as well as the development of
new and enhanced versions of this product as well as other related software
products that may be developed in the future. Revenue from products such as
ErgoManagerTM depend on a number of factors, including the influence of market
competition, technological changes in the ergonomic workplace market, our
ability to design, develop and introduce enhancements on a timely basis and our
ability to successfully establish and maintain distribution channels. If we fail
to achieve broad market acceptance of our ErgoManagerTM products, it would have
a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial
condition.
We Do Not Have An Established Sales Distribution Network.
We do not have an established sales distribution network through which
to sell our software products. Our inability to enter into strategic
relationships with indirect channel partners could have a material adverse
effect on us. As part of our sales and marketing efforts, we are seeking to
develop strategic relationships with indirect channel partners, such as original
equipment manufacturers and resellers. We have limited financial, personnel and
other resources to undertake extensive marketing activities ourselves.
Therefore, our software products will depend on our ability to develop and
maintain strategic marketing relationships with indirect channel partners and
their ability to market and distribute our software products. If we are unable
to enter into and maintain such arrangements or if such arrangements do not
result in the successful commercialization of our software products, then this
could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and
financial condition.
8
You Could Lose Your Entire Investment.
Our common stock offered in this prospectus is highly
speculative, involves a high degree of risk and should not be purchased by any
person who cannot afford the loss of his entire investment. A purchase of our
common stock in this offering would be unsuitable for a person who cannot afford
to sustain such a loss.
If We Were To Lose The Services of Our President Our Business Would Suffer
We are substantially dependent upon the continued services of Steven D.
Rudnik, our President and Chief Executive Officer. The loss of the services of
Mr. Rudnik through incapacity or otherwise would have a material adverse effect
upon our business and prospects. To the extent that his services become
unavailable, we will be required to retain other qualified personnel, and there
can be no assurance that we will be able to recruit and hire qualified persons
upon acceptable terms. We do, however, maintain key person life insurance on the
life of Mr. Rudnik in the amount of $1 Million.
In addition to Mr. Rudnik, if we were to lose the services of one or
more of our key employees, such as Joerg Klaube, our Chief Financial Officer,
our business, operating results, financial condition or business prospects could
be materially adversely affected. We have several programs in place to retain
key personnel, including granting of stock options that vest annually over four
or five years. All of these outstanding options are at exercise prices above the
current market price of our common stock.
Penny Stock Regulations
The Securities Enforcement Penny Stock Act of 1990 requires
specific disclosure to be made available in connection with trades in the stock
of companies defined as "penny stocks". The Commission has adopted regulations
that generally define a penny stock to be any equity security that has a market
price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Such
exceptions include any equity security listed on NASDAQ and any equity security
issued by an issuer that has (I) net tangible assets of at least $2,000,000, if
such issuer has been in continuous operation for three years; (ii) net tangible
assets of at least $5,000,000, if such issuer has been in continuous operation
for less than three years; or (iii) average annual revenue of at least
$6,000,000, if such issuer has been in continuous operation for less than three
years. Unless an exception is available, the regulations require the delivery,
prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, of a disclosure schedule
explaining the penny stock market and the risk associated therewith as well as
the written consent of the purchaser of such security prior to engaging in a
penny stock transaction. The regulations on penny stocks may limit the ability
of the purchasers of our securities to sell their securities in the secondary
marketplace. Our common stock is currently considered a penny stock.
There is Intense Competition in the Industry
The market for ergonomic application software is expected to become
intensely competitive. Although we are not aware of any ergonomic software that
competes with our ErgoManagerTM software products currently, competitors will
certainly enter this marketplace. Although we believe our success will be due in
part to our early entry into the computer workplace market, we expect other
software product manufacturers to develop and sell similar products.
9
Intense competition could lead to increased price competition in the
market, forcing us to reduce prices. As a result, our gross margins may decline
and we may lose our first-to-market advantage which, in turn, could have a
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of
operations. In addition, we may be unable to compete successfully with any new
competitors which are better financed, have larger technical staffs and
operational resources. There can be no assurances, therefore, that our software
products will be able to successfully compete in the marketplace.
We have Limited Protection of Intellectual Property and Proprietary Rights and
May Potentially Infringe Third Party Intellectual Property Rights
We consider certain aspects of our software and documentation to be
proprietary, and rely on a combination of contract, patent, copyright, trademark
and trade secret laws and other measures to protect this information.
Outstanding applications may not result in issued patents and, even if issued,
the patents may not provide any meaningful competitive advantage. Existing
copyright laws afford only limited protection. We believe that the rapid pace of
technological change in the computer software industry has made patent, trade
secret and copyright protection less significant than factors such as:
o knowledge, ability and experience of our employees;
o frequent software product enhancements; and
o timeliness and quality of support services.
Patent, trade secret and copyright protections may be inadequate, and
our competitors may independently develop ergonomic software products that are
substantially equivalent or superior to our software products. We do not believe
that our software products, our trademarks or other proprietary rights infringe
on the property rights of any third parties. However, third parties may assert
infringement claims against us and our products. These assertions could require
us to enter into royalty arrangements or could result in costly litigation.
Magnitude May Experience Product Liability Claims
Although our license agreements contain provisions designed to limit
our exposure to potential product liability claims, these provisions could be
invalidated by unfavorable judicial decisions or by federal, state or local laws
or ordinances. Although we have not experienced any product liability claims to
date, use of our software in mission critical applications may create a risk
that a third party may pursue a claim against us. Although we carry product
liability insurance, if a product liability claim against us was successful, the
resulting damages or injunctive relief could have a material adverse affect on
our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our Stock Price is Volatile and There is a Risk of Litigation
The trading price of our common stock has in the past and may in the
future be subject to wide fluctuations. For example, during the first quarter of
fiscal year 2003, the average high sales price for our common stock traded in
the public market was $0.15 per share while the average low sales price during
the same period was $0.08 per share. Similarly, $0.13 was the average high and
$0.06 the average low trading prices of our stock during the second quarter of
2002 in contrast to the $0.62 per share high average and $0.27 per share low
average trading prices witnessed during the second quarter of 2002.
10
Further, the stock market has experienced in recent months and may
continue in the future to experience extreme price and volume fluctuations that
particularly affect the market prices of equity securities of high technology
companies that often are not related to or are disproportionate to the operating
performance of such companies. These broad market fluctuations, as well as
general economic, political and market conditions have, and may continue to
have, a material adverse effect on the trading price of our common stock.
fluctuations in the price of our common stock may expose us to the risk of
securities class action lawsuits. We cannot assure you that there will not be
lawsuits in the future or that future lawsuits will not have a material adverse
effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Rapid Technological Change; Dependence on New Products
The market for software is characterized by rapid technological
advances, changes in customer requirements and frequent new product
introductions and enhancements. The Company must respond rapidly to developments
related to operating systems and applicable programming languages. Such
developments will require the Company to continue to make substantial product
development investments. Any failure by the Company to anticipate or respond
adequately to technological developments and customer requirements, or any
significant delays in product development or introduction, could result in a
loss of competitiveness or revenue.
The Company's future success will depend on its ability to continue to
enhance its current product line and to continue to develop and introduce new
products that keep pace with competitive product introductions and technological
developments, satisfy diverse and evolving customer requirements and otherwise
achieve market acceptance. There can be no assurance that the Company will be
successful in continuing to develop and market on a timely and cost-effective
basis fully functional product enhancements or new products that respond to
technological advances by others, or that its enhanced and new products will
achieve market acceptance. In addition, the Company has in the past experienced
delays in the development, introduction and marketing of new or enhanced
products, and there can be no assurance that the Company will not experience
similar delays in the future. Any failure by the Company to anticipate or
respond adequately to changes in technology and customer preferences, or any
significant delays in product development or introduction, would have a material
adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of
operations. See "Patents and New Products" and "Research and Development" below.
Any Further Stock Issuances Could Depress Our Share Trading Price
Of the 29,183,218 common shares offered in this prospectus, 18,693,536
common shares have already been issued to the selling shareholders. If the
selling shareholders were to fully exercise their rights under their warrants,
convertible preferred stock, stock options, and convertible note to purchase or
convert into the remaining 10,489,682 common shares offered in this prospectus
and then sell them, the market price of our common stock could be materially
adversely affected. As of December 31, 2003, the substantial majority of the
warrants, and stock options had exercise prices above the current market price
of our common stock. In addition, we have filed a second registration statement,
11
registering a total of 26,290,037 common shares for new investors. 23,366,037 of
these shares have already been issued to the new investors with the balance of
2,924,000 shares underlying stock options and warrants. If the new investors
were to fully exercise their rights under their warrants and stock options to
convert them into common shares and then sell them, such sales could have a
materially adverse effect upon the market price of our common stock.
Market Overhang
As of May 21, 2004, we had 79,624,641 common shares outstanding. As of April
23, 2004, we had 12,355,808 outstanding stock options, 20,623,238 outstanding
common stock purchase warrants, 526,582 preferred shares convertible into
35,096,400 common shares and a convertible promissory note convertible into
2,497,250 common shares. If all the outstanding stock options, common stock
purchase warrants, preferred shares and the convertible note were exercised
and/or converted by their holders an additional 69,477,696 common shares would
be outstanding; this would represent an approximate 87% increase in our
outstanding common shares. The vast majority of these outstanding options and
warrants are exercisable at prices currently above the public trading prices of
our common stock. However, in the event that even a portion of these outstanding
options and warrants were to be exercised, or portions of the preferred shares
and/or the convertible promissory note converted, the resulting dilution could
depress the public trading price of our common shares. In addition, we are
registering 29,183,218 shares for sale by the Selling Shareholders in this
prospectus and 26,290,037 shares for new investors in our second registration
statement; if a significant portion of these shares were sold by the Selling
Shareholders in this prospectus and the new investors further to our second
registration statement in the public marketplace, such sales could also have a
severe and adverse material affect on the public trading price of our common
shares. Any increase in the amount of saleable shares increases significantly
the possibility of large amounts of our shares offered for sale and, if sold,
dramatically increases the selling price pressure for our shares which could
result in a further depressed sales and market price for our stock.
The Market Price At Which The Selling Shareholders Resell Their Stock Offered In
This Prospectus May Bear No Relationship To Our Value
The prices at which Selling Shareholders resell our common shares will be
determined by the then prevailing market prices of our common shares offered and
sold on the Electronic Bulletin Board, over-the-counter market or on any other
then applicable exchange where our Common Shares are traded, or may be at
negotiated prices which, in all likelihood, will bare no relationship to our
assets, book value, net worth or other economic or recognized measure of value.
All of the exercise and conversion prices and rates of the Company's outstanding
warrants, stock options, convertible preferred stock, convertible promissory
notes and convertible note were arbitrarily determined by us and, as well, bare
no relationship to our assets, book value, net worth, or any other economic or
recognized measure of value. These exercise prices or conversion rates should
not be regarded as any indication of current or future market price for our
common shares.

This prospectus is part of a Form SB-2 registration statement that we
filed with the SEC. This prospectus provides you with a general description of
the securities that may be offered for sale, but does not contain all of the
information that is in the registration statement. To see more detail, you
should read the entire registration statement and the exhibits filed with the
registration statement. Copies of the registration statement and the exhibits
are on file at the offices of the Commission and may be obtained upon payment of
the fees prescribed by the Commission, or examined without charge at the public
reference facilities of the Commission described above.
You should rely only on the information incorporated by reference or
provided in this prospectus or any prospectus supplement. We have not authorized
anyone to provide you with different information.
Neither Magnitude nor any selling shareholder is making an offer of the
securities covered by this prospectus in any state where the offer is not
permitted. You should not assume that the information in this prospectus or any
prospectus supplement or in any other document incorporated by reference in this
prospectus is accurate as of any date other than the date on the front of those
documents.
Upon request, we will provide without charge a copy of our Annual,
Quarterly and Current Reports we have filed electronically with the Commission
as well as a copy of any and all of the information that has been or may be
incorporated by reference in this prospectus. Requests for such copies should be
directed to Magnitude Information Systems, Inc., 401 State Route 24, Chester,
New Jersey 07930 (telephone: 908-879-2722).
USE OF PROCEEDS
The selling shareholders will receive all of the net proceeds from the
resale of any of the Company's common shares offered in this prospectus. We will
not receive any of the proceeds from any sale of the shares by the selling
shareholders. We will receive up to $4,025,717 in proceeds from the cash
exercise of the warrants and stock options currently outstanding and included in
this prospectus and we intend to use any such cash proceeds received for general
corporate purposes, which may include repaying indebtedness, making additions to
our working capital, funding future acquisitions or for further developing our
products and hiring additional personnel. However, due to current market
conditions and the fact that the exercise prices for most of these warrants and
options are higher than the current market price for our common stock, it is
unlikely that we will receive any funds from the exercise of these instruments.
MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED SHAREHOLDER MATTERS
Our common stock currently trades on the Electronic Bulletin Board,
over-the-counter market, under the symbol "MAGY". The following table sets

to pay, cash dividends on its Common stock. The Company is obliged to pay cash
dividends on its outstanding convertible preferred stock and, under certain
circumstances, on its outstanding cumulative preferred stock. See "DESCRIPTION
OF CAPITAL STOCK" - "The Series A Stock", "The Series B Stock", "The Series C
Stock", "The Series D Stock" and "The Series E Stock" , below.
15
Selling Shareholders
All of the common stock offered is either already issued or is issuable
upon the exercise or conversion of Company warrants, stock options, convertible
preferred stock and convertible note issued or issuable by Magnitude to the
selling shareholders. We may from time to time supplement or amend this
prospectus, as required, to provide other information with respect to the
selling shareholders.
The following table sets forth certain information regarding ownership
of Magnitude's common stock by the selling shareholders as of May 21, 2004,
including their names, and the number of shares of common stock owned by them
and offered pursuant to this prospectus. The selling shareholders listed in the
table do not necessarily intend to sell any of their shares. Magnitude filed the
registration statement, which includes this prospectus, due to the registration
rights granted to the selling shareholders, not because they had expressed an
intent to immediately sell their shares.

there are 79,624,641 common shares issued and outstanding of which approximately
32,005,000 are freely tradable.
Upon the effectiveness of this registration statement, (a) an
additional 18,693,536 common shares already issued and (b) 10,489,682 common
shares underlying stock options, warrants, convertible preferred stock and
convertible notes which, if converted or exercised, will result in those shares
also being freely tradable.
Apart from this prospectus and registration statement, we have filed a

shares of our common stock on behalf of new investors. Upon the effectiveness of
this second registration statement, (a) a further 23,116,037 common shares

outstanding warrants, and 5,005,942 common shares underlying outstanding stock
options, which, if converted or exercised, as the case may be, may not

for the common stock pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated pursuant to the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). Sales of substantial amounts of
this common stock in the public market could adversely affect the market price
of the common stock.
In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, a person (or group
of persons whose shares are aggregated), including affiliates of the Company,
can sell within any nine month period, an amount of restricted securities that
does not exceed the greater of 1% of the total number of outstanding shares of
the same class, or the reported average weekly trading volume during the four
calendar weeks preceding the sale; provided at least one year has elapsed since
the restricted securities being sold were acquired from the Company or any
affiliate of the Company, and provided further that certain other conditions are
also satisfied. If at least two years have elapsed since the restricted
securities were acquired from the Company or an affiliate of the Company, a
person who has not been an affiliate of the Company for at least three months
can sell restricted shares under Rule 144 without regard to any limitations on
the amount. Future sales by current shareholders could depress the market price
of the Common Stock in the public market.

BUSINESS
Background
On June 24, 1997, the Company entered into an acquisition agreement
whereby it acquired substantially all of the outstanding stock of Proformix,
Inc., a Delaware corporation and manufacturer of ergonomic keyboarding systems.
Proformix, Inc. in November 1998 changed its name to Magnitude, Inc. and is
hereafter referred to as Magnitude, Inc. The business combination took the form
of a reverse acquisition. The Company and Magnitude, Inc. remain as two separate
legal entities whereby Magnitude, Inc. operates as a subsidiary of Magnitude
Information Systems, Inc.. The operations of the newly combined entity are
currently comprised solely of the operations of Magnitude, Inc.
On February 2, 1998, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of
Merger with Rolina Corporation, a privately held New Jersey software developing
firm, and on April 30, 1998, into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Vanity
Software Publishing Co., a Canadian developer of specialized software, whereby
the Company, in return for payments in form of cash and equity, acquired the
rights to certain software products and related assets, with such software
products subsequently forming the basis for the further development during the
year of the Company's proprietary ErgoManagerTM software product.
As of May 21, 2004, there were outstanding 79,624,641 common shares,
1 Cumulative Preferred Share, 29,300 shares of Series A Stock, no shares of
Series B Stock, 100,000 shares of Series C Stock, 63,890 shares of Series D
Stock and 333,392 shares of Series E Stock.

Narrative Description of Business
Until November 18, 1998, when the Company sold its hardware product line
comprised of Magnitude, Inc.'s ergonomic keyboard platform products and
accessories, its business was primarily centered around the design, manufacture,
and marketing of accessory products for the computerized workplace. In parallel,
and beginning with the February 1998 acquisition by the Company of Rolina
Corporation, an early stage software business which had developed an ergonomic
software product that was being marketed under the name "ErgoSentry", and the
subsequent acquisition in May 1998 of substantially all of the assets of Vanity
Software Publishing Corporation, a Canadian software firm, which also included a
certain ergonomic software package known as "ErgoBreak", the Company engaged in
the development of a unique suite of software packages designed to increase
productivity and prevent repetitive stress injury in the computer-related work
environment which include the before mentioned "ErgoSentry" and "ErgoBreak"
products. These efforts resulted, in November 1998, in the completion of the
initial release of the proprietary ErgoManager(TM) software system. The
Company's business is now focused exclusively on the further development and
promotion of these and other software products. The Company has applied for
several patents for its products, and has recently received a Notice of
Allowance from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office on its application relative
to certain core inventions within its ErgoManager(TM) system. The Company has
not yet realized material revenues from licensing its software. With new
products targeted at relatively new markets the Company currently must be
considered an enterprise in transition.
As the utilization of computers in the office has increased
significantly in the last decade, so has the rate of health problems believed to
be related to the use of computers. Computer ergonomics focuses on optimizing
the design of technology involved in the utilization of computers in the office,
and also attempts to affect the manner in which people interact with computers,
so as to minimize the associated health risks. A successful technology delivery
system positively impacts the cost of doing business by improving the comfort,
productivity, job satisfaction and safety of the computer user, while reducing
the costs of absenteeism and work related disability.
Repetitive stress injury (RSI) is a classification of diseases caused
by the excessive use of joints. It is a sub-classification of Cumulative Trauma
Disorders (CTDs). One common form of RSI is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) which
can be caused by excessive typing, among other activities, and can be aggravated
by deficient - in the ergonomic sense - equipment and inappropriate work habits.
The carpal tunnel is a channel in the wrist where tendons and the median nerve
connect the arm to the hand. Through excessive use, the tendons become swollen
and pinch the nerve. RSI accounts for a large portion of work-related illnesses,
and the incidence of RSI is expected to grow as the number of people operating
keyboards increases. The impact of RSI is measured not only in the pain and
suffering of its victims, but also in time lost from work and medical costs.
The Company's proprietary software products are designed to help
businesses deal with potentially preventable repetitive stress injuries, by
real-time monitoring of keyboarding activities, pro-active dialog with at-risk
employees, and strategic profiling and management of computer use throughout an
organization.
During 1996, the issues of repetitive stress injuries and the
potential of liability to employers from the effects of carpal tunnel syndrome
and other RSI's on employees were forcibly brought to the forefront of corporate
consciousness through widely publicized suits involving a major computer maker.
The US Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that already in 1995, there were
approximately 70,000 cases of carpal tunnel syndrome and associated tendonitis,
and that 25% of all injuries that result in lost work time are due to repetitive
stress problems. They currently cost employers an estimated $20 billion a year
in workers' compensation claims. The federal government estimates an additional
$80 billion is lost in related costs such as absenteeism and reduced
productivity. Increased awareness of the health risks and associated costs led
the State of California to pass OSHA Title 8 which directs qualifying employers
to establish and implement a program designed to minimize RSI's. Such program
38
shall include work-site evaluation, control of exposures which have caused
RSI's, and training of employees. The Company's proprietary software products
deliver a comprehensive compliance tool. In a similar pursuit, the Clinton
Administration, in January 2000, proposed that on a federal level, preventive
guidelines be established, and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration
plans to issue pertinent regulations this year. The RSI issues in the United
States are mirrored in the rest of the developed world. The Company believes
that the growing recognition of these trends will give rise to a rapidly
expanding market for the Company's products.
The Industry
The Company operates in only one business segment: the development,
marketing, and licensing of risk aversion and productivity enhancement software
products for the computerized workplace environment. More specifically, the
Company licenses highly sophisticated and proprietary software that provides
computer based training, work pacing and monitoring tools, as well as a computer
workstation assessment tool.
Potential customers for the Company's products are businesses of all
sizes, as well as organizations and government departments and agencies that
employ many staff in computer-related functions. The software industry in
general is comprised of a remarkable variety of providers, ranging from small
boutique-type designers to large international corporations. The industry is
characterized by great dynamics, patterns of rapid growth and well-known success
stories, but also by a high degree of volatility and risk. As such, the Company
with its recent transition from the more stable environment of a supplier of
ergonomic (hardware) accessories, to a software house addressing a specialized
market, has entered new territory. Nevertheless, its chances for success, in
management's opinion, are greatly enhanced by the timeliness of the introduction
of its product into an increasingly receptive market, as described above.
The Company operates primarily in the United States of America,
however, has introduced a Portuguese language version of its software products
for the Brazilian market, and is preparing other language versions. The Company
has not yet derived any material revenues from the licensing or sale of its
software products, either domestically or in foreign markets.
Products, Patents, Trademarks
The Company's current primary product is a suite of seven proprietary
software modules marketed under the name ErgoManager(TM) which are designed to
help individual computer users and businesses deal with potentially preventable
repetitive stress injury (RSI). The seven software modules can be applied
individually or together in a comprehensive ergonomic and early intervention
program that seeks to modify a user's behavior by monitoring computer usage
patterns over time and warning the user when to break a dangerous trend in
repetitive usage of an input device, such as a keyboard or mouse. The product
was developed to train people working on computers, monitor computer-use related
activities and evaluate a user's risk exposure and propensity towards injury or
loss of effectiveness in connection with his/her day-to-day work. Moreover, the
package enables a company to not only address the issue of health risks
involving employees and to minimize resulting potential liabilities, but
delivers a powerful tool to increase overall productivity.
The system is highly customizable for management, staff and employees.
All components operate on any PC or workstation running the Microsoft Windows
operating system. The ErgoManager(TM) suite employs the International RULA
(Rapid Upper Limb Assessment) standard for compliance with California OSHA Title
The seven modules are described as follows:
39
ErgoSure : A postural risk-assessment tool that records how an employee is
working; it determines injury potential and suggests improvements. It also can
be used to evaluate workstation alternatives prior to purchase.
ErgoSentry(TM) : Employing patent-pending algorithms that measure rest against
work in real time, the non intrusive program informs users when to break from
high-risk trends (thresholds definable by the user or corporate safety officer)
when keyboarding or using a mouse. ErgoSentry also includes an "ErgoPak" video
or slides that depict correct workstation setup, posture and repetitive
stress-reducing exercises. Surveyor(TM) : An electronic surveyor used by
management to gather macro-information about employee populations and to gain a
clear understanding of equipment usage, discomfort and comfort patterns,
workstation configurations and employee habits. The ErgoSentry trademark has
been registered with the United States Patent and Trademark Office on September
12, 2000 providing legal protection for a ten year period through September 12,
2010.
UserNotes(TM) : An easy, effective means for employees to report workplace
discomfort so staff can address certain issues earlier, at lower cost and with
greater likelihood of success. UserNotes encourages a proactive approach.
Guardian : Captures the frequency of mouse clicks and activation of individual
keys, over time. It also can be used in a review process to assess attributes
such as ease-of-use among competing applications. Guardian also is a good
training tool. By measuring before-and-after results, Guardian can be used to
determine the type of training program needed, measure each program's
effectiveness and highlight needed improvements.
ErgoQuiz: An electronic testing system and awareness-building tool that measures
employees' understanding of ergonomic principles.
ErgoManager(TM) Analyzer: A comprehensive report writer and analysis tool for
manipulating, interpreting and evaluating the data collected in the ErgoSentry
module - on the workstation-, department-, and company level.
In addition to the trademarks shown above which are owned by the
Company, Magnitude has applied for other product designators to be afforded
trademark protection, and has filed US Patent Application for certain design
principles underlying several of its proprietary software products, including a
patent application for its newest product, a new class of usage tracking and
data collection software that is directed towards e-commerce and a wide range of
other Internet related applications. There can be no assurance, however, that
such patents will be granted or, if granted, that a third party will not design
products which perform the same or similar functions as the Company's products,
using technology other than that covered by the Company's patents.
Patents and New Products
ErgoSentry - Patent Allowed:
A patent was issued to the Company on May 16, 2000 by the United States
Patent and Trademark Office. The patent covers various innovations including a
proven approach that helps computer users manage their activity to improve
productivity and reduce the risk of repetitive motion injuries. Entitled
"Computer Activity Monitoring Station", this patent provides protection under
United States law through January 7, 2017.
ErgoPal Introduced, Patent Pending:
New patent-pending ErgoPal software -- a work pacing tool that helps
users mitigate health risks and improve their productivity by gently alerting
them to increases in stress and fatigue which are occurring before they realize
it.

Business Strategy
The most important prospective customers for the Company's products are
medium and large companies, organizations, and governmental departments and
agencies that have a relatively large staff working in computer-related
functions. These entities not only are more cognizant of the health risks and
negative effect on productivity associated with many of the traditional tools of
the computerized workplace and therefore tend to be more receptive to new
remedial solutions and alternatives based on the science of Ergonomics, but also
have a significant exposure in terms of legal liabilities if they fail to act
addressing these potential risks. On an on-going basis, the increasing costs of
worker's compensation insurance creates a growing incentive to deal with the
underlying causes.
With its new proprietary ergonomic software the Company offers a
comprehensive and effective tool for corporate clients to address the three
major issues involved: (a) employee wellness, (b) cost containment and
productivity enhancement, and (c) potential legal liabilities. While certain
portions of the ErgoManager(TM) software suite have been previously marketed as
individual modules, the release to the market, in November 1998, of an overall
integrated solution in form of the ErgoManager(TM) system constituted a novel
approach.
Since that time, the product has been installed by a growing number of
corporate and institutional clients. For example, during fiscal year 2000 we
acquired 43 new customers and in 2001, 36 new customers. Typically, in view of
the new-ness of product and market, such client initially purchases a license
for a "pilot version" of the software, functionally complete but limited to a
smaller number of users. After undergoing a process of familiarization and
evaluation the client is expected to upgrade to the intended ultimate number of
users which, by definition, should encompass all personnel exposed to the above
described risks. Many tests and evaluations by third parties have confirmed to
the Company's satisfaction that its product is mature, stable, and effective. It
is with a high degree of confidence, therefore, that the Company expects many of
the ongoing trial installations to lead to larger enterprise orders and,
thereby, to the targeted revenue stream. The key to economic success therefore
lies in a comprehensive marketing approach that carries the Company's message to
the largest possible number of prospective clients. Since its own financial
resources are limited, the Company embarked on a strategy to seek marketing
partnerships with entities and individuals in the risk management industry.
The Company intends to continue developing strategic marketing
relationships with leading business consultants, to broaden its distribution
channels to include tiered marketing arrangements, and to strengthen its direct
sales force and support organization, thereby focusing on a marketing approach
which emphasizes the advantages that accrue to a business from the unique
combination of risk management and productivity enhancement tools provided by
ErgoManager(TM).
Research and Development
The Company has invested considerable resources in the further development of
the overall ErgoEnterprise (TM) system and related product documentation and
marketing collateral materials. In late summer 1997, the first official version
of ErgoEnterprise (TM), Version 1.78, was released, followed by yearly upgrades
since then. The Company is currently shipping Version 5.5 which was released in
February, 2004.
The Company has expensed all expenditures related to the above efforts. Such
expenses totaled approximately $228,000 for the year ended December 31, 2003 and
$183,000 for the year ended December 31, 2002.
41
Major University Study
Alan Hedge, Phd,, Professor of Ergonomics at Cornell University, in
collaboration with Scott J. Evans, Manager of Facilities and ESH at Lockheed
Martin Enterprise Information Systems, authored a Cornell University study
testing the effects of using "ErgoManager", the Company's ergonomic management
system ("EMS"), an ergonomic work pacing software, on 56 Lockheed Martin
computer software programmers at that company's Orlando, Florida facility (the
"Study"). Professor Hedge serves as the Chairman of the Company's Ergonomics
Advisory Board and is a shareholder of the Company. In accordance with the
policy of Cornell University, neither the results of the Study nor the fact of
its publication, constitutes an endorsement by Cornell University of the
Company's ErgoManager or EMS software products used in the Study.
The performance of the 56 studied-test participants was passively
monitored using the EMS software for four weeks to establish a baseline, without
activating the ErgoManager's icons at rest break capabilities. Following this
initial four-week period, the full capabilities of ErgoManager were activated
for all participants and their work performance was monitored for a further
four-week period. Full activation permitted the EMS software to coach users to
take periodic microbreaks throughout the workday depending upon their work rate.
The results of the Study displayed a significant 59% improvement in
work accuracy following the activation of ErgoManager and the EMS software. The
Study further disclosed that there was no difference in total keystrokes or in
mouse use during either the initial four-week baseline period or the following
four-week ErgoManager activation period, confirming previous research showing
that alerting keyboard users to take more short rest and break periods did not
impair their overall keystroke and mouse use but did improve their work
accuracy. The Study proposed that further studies of this type of ergonomic
workflow software could prove useful and beneficial in evaluating the effects of
microbreaks on participants who are experiencing musculoskeletal problems and in
quantifying the performance benefits of this software for a larger number of
workers over a longer period.
Economic analysis showed that in this Study the performance benefits
alone that accrued from using ErgoManager's ergonomic work pacing software would
operate to provide a return on investment in less than one-week. This Study is
available to the public on the Cornell University Website at :
http://ergo.human.cornell.edu/CUEHnews.html,and then clicking on the Study,
entitled "Ergonomic Management Software and Work Performance".
Competition
Competitive pressures come from other ergonomic software products. Current
competitors of the Company, their product names and locations are as follows:
Company Product Name Location
- ------- ------------ --------
Great Attitudes, Inc. Compustretch Canada
ErgoWare ErgoWare RSI Manager San Diego, CA
Alen Jevsenak fit@work 3D Germany
Peak Technology Ltd. Kairos New Zealand
DITR Marketing, Inc. Mouse Tool California, USA
The key to ErgoManager winning the business appears to be finding someone at the
prospective client who understands ergonomic issues and can appreciate why
ErgoManager is a superior product.
42
The Company has ascertained, based on customer comments, that the Company's
market share lead gives it the opportunity to be first to dominate this market
niche. However, this market is in its infancy and there are no real competitors
- - higher or lower in cost compared to Magnitude - executing substantial
marketing communications. Magnitude is left to finance and develop the market on
its own.
The relatively small size of the existing marketplace , Magnitude, and its
competitors provides a window of opportunity for companies with substantial
resources to quickly enter and dominate the market, should they determine or
suspect rapid growth. While such a move could lessen Magnitude's opportunity to
be the overall market leader, it would greatly benefit the Company by drawing
attention to and building the market.
From a marketing and sales perspective, Magnitude and its products do not
currently have significant competition. There are several first and
second-generation keystroke counters and egg timers but they do not provide the
end user and the employer with the requisite compliance and usability that
ErgoManager brings to the table. First-generation, or "egg timer" methodology
focuses on counting time and then offering a typing break based upon a time
threshold. Second-generation, or "odometer" methodology employs the counting of
keystrokes and then offering a typing break based upon a total number of
keystrokes threshold. Third-generation technology, which we utilize in our
software, compares typing keystroke input over time to establish a correlation
of typing work and rest for individual users, which once established proceeds to
offer interrupting typing breaks based upon a user's typing patterns when typing
work and rest patterns deviate from the previously established norms. In all
comparisons, ErgoManager provides more features and better performance than
competitive products. The differences between ErgoManager and competing products
are substantial.
At this time, there is no significant competitor offering a product suite of
features comparable to ErgoManager. A number of competing products offer
rudimentary reporting capabilities. Magnitude's ErgoSentry is the only Third
Generation Workpacing software available today.
Seasonality and Dependency
The industry segment in which the Company does business is not
seasonal. The Company's software related revenues until now have consisted
primarily of smaller orders for pilot projects and field tests. The Company's
future success is dependent upon its ability to follow up on such initial orders
with enterprise-wide contracts where corporate clients introduce the Company's
software products across the entire spectrum of computer workplaces throughout
their company or certain divisions. There can be no assurance that the Company
will succeed in doing so, or if it does succeed, that its business will generate
enough revenues during the coming periods, in a timely manner and sufficient in
scope, to finance and support the Company's planned future growth as expected by
management.
EMPLOYEES
As of December 31, 2003, the Company employed 11 persons, of whom six
were primarily engaged in research and development and software support
activities, three were primarily engaged in sales and marketing, and three in
general administrative and clerical functions. The Company has no collective
bargaining agreements with its employees.
PROPERTIES
On March 15, 2000, the Company entered a five year lease for
approximately 6,000 square feet of office space at 401 State Route 24, Chester,
New Jersey. This lease agreement calls for monthly rental payments of $6,500
with nominal increases after years No. 2, 3, and 4.

Results of Operations for the Quarter Ended March 31, 2004
During the first quarter in 2004 our efforts were focused on further refining
our marketing strategy that emphasizes a leveraging of certain characteristics
of our software products for the purpose of providing clients with unique
management tools for operations control and risk management. Negotiations for
company-wide deployment of our software products with several well known large
corporate clients have progressed satisfactorily although at the time of this
report, larger contracts are still in the negotiation stage. These efforts go
hand-in-hand with a program of co-marketing the Company's products together with
selected partners in the insurance and risk management industry. We expect to
conclude such discussions with finalized joint venture agreements in the very
near future.
For the quarter ended March 31, 2004, the Company had revenues of $44,580,
compared to $35,452 achieved in the first quarter of 2003. Revenues consisted of
$25,910 licensing fees for our software products and $18,670 for maintenance and
support services. Total orders booked during the quarter amounted to $76,218.
Gross profits amounted to $5,625. Gross profits are burdened with a fixed charge
for amortization of certain proprietary software assets. Such software assets
underlie the Company's products and are being amortized on a straight line over
10 years, resulting in a level charge of approximately $13,000 per month to
cost-of-goods-sold. Owing to the fact that variable cost-of-goods-sold expenses
are less than 5%, the gross margins will increase with larger revenues, as the
portion of fixed expenses decreases relatively. After deducting selling - and
general and administrative expenses of $702,342 which increased by 4% over the
$674,298 recorded in 2003, the Company realized an operating loss of $696,717
compared to an operating loss of $677,833 in 2003. Non-operating expenses
consisted of $5,796 net interest expense. The quarter concluded with a net loss
of $702,513 compared to a loss of $684,416 in the first three months of 2003.
After accounting for dividend accruals on outstanding preferred stock which
totaled $57,380, and an accounting charge to capital for amortization of
discount for warrants issued in connection with the placement of certain
convertible stock, amounting to $716,436, the net loss applicable to common
shareholders was $1,476,329 or $0.02 per share, compared to a loss of $713,233
or $0.01 per share for the same quarter in the previous year.
Results of Operations for the Year Ended December 31, 2003
The results for the fiscal year 2003 were affected by a continued
severe shortage of cash which necessitated a retrenchment in the pursuit of more
ambitious marketing plans. Previously planned sales and marketing projects were
partially compromised by the need to dedicate available management resources
towards securing new working capital in order to finance ongoing operations and
preserve the infrastructure and basis for growing the business in the future.
Only towards the end of the year was the Company in a position to accumulate
modest financial resources that would permit management to concentrate on
formulating and developing a more effective marketing strategy. Management is
cautiously optimistic that it has succeeded in identifying promising areas of
growth and a winning marketing approach that will reverse past year's sales
decline and result in significant revenue increases in the new fiscal year. An
entirely new marketing strategy has been developed that leverages the database
characteristics of our software products for the purpose of providing clients
with a unique management tool for control of operations and increase in
productivity. These efforts go hand-in-hand with a renewed program of
co-marketing the Company's products together with selected partners in the
insurance and risk management industry. Following these strategies, the Company
has entered into negotiations for company-wide deployment of its software
products with several well known large corporate clients; such discussions have
in some cases already resulted in pilot installations on divisional levels.
For the year ended December 31, 2003, the Company had revenues of
$162,335, considerably less than the $369,443 achieved in 2002. This decline was
a consequence of the above described detrimental factors. Revenues consisted of
$130,812 licensing fees for the Company's software products and $31,523 for
maintenance and support services.
Gross profits amounted to $6,388. Gross profits are burdened with a
fixed charge for amortization of certain proprietary software assets. Such
software assets underlie the Company's products and are being amortized on a
straight line over 10 years, resulting in a level charge of approximately
$13,000 per month to cost-of-goods-sold. Owing to the fact that variable
cost-of-goods-sold expenses are less than 5%, the gross margins will increase
with larger revenues, as the portion of fixed expenses decreases relatively.
After deducting selling -, research -, and general and administrative expenses
of $2,455,809 which decreased by 20% from the $3,055,563 recorded in 2002, the
Company realized an operating loss of $2,449,421 compared to an operating loss
of $2,847,990 in 2002. Non-operating income and expenses included $94,823 net
44
interest expense, $779 charges for losses on assets, and $3,745 in non-recurring
income consisting of extraordinary gains from the dissolution of certain prior
year accruals. The Company also realized a credit of approximately $209,000 from
the sale of net loss carry-forward tax credits pursuant to New Jersey Emerging
Technology and Biotechnology Financial Assistance Act. The year concluded with a
net loss of $2,337,881. After accounting for dividend accruals on outstanding
preferred stock which totaled $126,293, the net loss applicable to common
shareholders was $2,464,174 or $0.04 per share, compared to a loss of $2,763,104
or $0.06 per share for the previous year.
The decrease in operating expenses is primarily the result of lesser
expenditures for sales staff expenses and certain marketing programs and of
efforts to curtail general and administrative expenses across the board.
Management is committed to review the merit of all activities with respect to
cost/benefit relations on an on-going basis and exercise due diligence in
day-to-day operations with the goal of further reducing all non-critical
expenditures.
Liquidity and Capital Resources at March 31, 2004
The Company's liquidity showed a relative improvement during the quarter, as a
result of the successful conclusion of a round of private equity placements. The
Company obtained approximately $880,000 cash from such transactions.
At March 31, 2004, the deficit in working capital amounted to $619,182, compared
to $968,183 at December 31, 2003. Stockholders' equity showed a surplus of
$19,971 at the end of the quarter, compared to an impairment of $377,851 at the
beginning of the year. The negative cash flow from operations totaled
approximately $592,000 and was financed by new equity which was obtained through
the placement of convertible preferred stock with accredited private investors.
Details of such transactions can be found in the "Changes in Securities" section
in this report. In February 2004, the Company had filed a new registration
statement on Form SB-2 and an amendment to a previously filed registration
statement on Form SB-2, both of which covered common shares directly issued as
well as common shares underlying the previously issued convertible preferred
stock and warrants, in connection with these and prior financing transactions.
These filings are currently under review by the Securities and Exchange
Commission. At the time of this submission, the Company had no bank debt. At
March 31, 2004 our short-term liabilities, aside from trade payables and
accruals, included certain notes aggregating $233,419 of which $99,890 was owed
to the chairman and chief executive officer of the Company in form of a demand
note (see "Long Term Debt"). Also included are 416,948 in accrued dividends,
most of which on outstanding series A, C, and D preferred stock which in view of
the absence of surplus funds, management does not plan to liquidate in the
immediate future.
Current cash reserves and net cash flow from operations expected during the near
future are inadequate when measured against present and anticipated future
needs. In order to remedy the resulting liquidity constraints and address any
"going-concern" issues, management is continuing negotiations with several
financing sources with the goal of obtaining commitments for further investments
in form of debt or equity capital, to be funded during the upcoming quarter.
There can be no assurance, however, that these negotiations will lead to the
desired outcome.
Liquidity and Capital Resources For the Year Ended Decemberr 31, 2003
As explained in more detail below, during 2003 management had to invest
much time to find new equity capital for financing the Company's ongoing
operations. Such efforts were successful in attracting approximately $1.7
million in new equity funding in the form of cash, as well as converting
approximately $466,000 debt into equity.
At December 31, 2003, the deficit in working capital amounted to
$274,617 as compared to $964,689 at December 31, 2002. Stockholders' equity
showed an impairment of $377,851 at the end of the year, compared to an
impairment of $336,918 at the beginning of the year. The negative cash flow from
operations totaled approximately $1.8 million and was substantially financed by
new equity which was obtained through private placements. The new equity
placements were consummated by issuance of common stock and convertible
preferred stock to accredited private investors in the United States and
overseas. Details of such transactions can be found in the "Changes and Issuance
of Securities" sections in the Company's reports on Form 10-QSB during the year,
as well as in the pertinent section of this report. In February 2004, the
Company had filed a new registration statement on Form SB-2 and an amendment to
a previously filed registration statement on Form SB-2, both of which covered
common shares directly issued as well as common shares underlying the previously
issued convertible preferred stock and warrants, in connection with these and
prior financing transactions. These filings are currently under review by the
Securities and Exchange Commission. During the first three months of 2004 and up
to the time of this submission, more recent equity financing transactions have
generated approximately $890,000 cash in the aggregate which was utilized to
finance operations during that period.
At the time of this submission, the Company had no bank debt. At
December 31, 2003 its short-term liabilities, aside from trade payables and
accruals, consisted of certain notes and loans aggregating approximately
$416,000 of which approximately $239,000 was owed to the chairman and chief
executive officer of the Company in form of demand notes (see "Related Party
Transactions"). All of the long-term debt of approximately $100,000 was likewise
owed to the chairman and chief executive officer and evidences by a promissory
note maturing in January 2005.
Current cash reserves and net cash flow from operations expected during
the near future are inadequate when measured against present and anticipated
future needs. In order to remedy the resulting liquidity constraints and address
any "going-concern" issues, management is currently negotiating with several
financing sources with the goal of obtaining commitments for further investments
in form of debt or equity capital, to be funded during the upcoming quarter.
There can be no assurance, however, that these negotiations will lead to the
desired outcome.
45
Outlook
In the absence of sufficient capital funding management could not
maintain any meaningful marketing programs. Giving much wider exposure to the
general public of the nature and risks associated with repetitive stress
injuries, and the important role that the Company and its software products can
play in this environment by providing costs effective remedial solutions for
these problems, is an expensive but necessary undertaking. Until larger
financial resources can be made available all sales and marketing efforts must
therefore be limited to one-on-one direct sales efforts with a limited number of
prospects. In doing so, management will try to capitalize on certain visible
success stories with well known larger companies that have purchased and
successfully utilized the Company's products. This is a slow process that is
expected to yield substantial cash flows only

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Organization
Magnitude Information Systems, Inc. (the "Company" or "Magnitude") was
incorporated as a Delaware corporation on April 19, 1988 under the name
Fortunistics Inc. On November 18, 1998, the Company changed its name to
Magnitude Information Systems, Inc.
The Company's primary product is an integrated suite of proprietary software
modules marketed under the name ErgoManager(TM) which are designed to help
individual computer users and businesses increase productivity and reduce the
risk of potentially preventable repetitive stress injury (RSI). These software
modules can be applied individually or together in a comprehensive ergonomic and
early intervention program that seeks to modify a user's behavior by monitoring
computer usage patterns over time and warning the user when to break a dangerous
trend in repetitive usage of an input device, such as a keyboard or mouse. The
product was developed to train people working on computers, monitor computer-use
related activities and evaluate a user's risk exposure and propensity towards
injury or loss of effectiveness in connection with his/her day-to-day work.
Moreover, the software enables a company to not only address the issue of health
risks involving employees and to minimize resulting potential liabilities, but
delivers a powerful tool to increase overall productivity.
On June 24, 1997, the Company extended a stock exchange offer to the
shareholders of Magnitude, Inc., a Delaware corporation and manufacturer of
ergonomic keyboarding systems. At the time of this submission, holders of 99.4%
of Magnitude, Inc. common stock have tendered their shares. The remaining
Magnitude, Inc. shareholders hold a minority interest which is valued at $0. The
Company and Magnitude, Inc. remain as two separate legal entities whereby
Magnitude, Inc. operates as a subsidiary of Magnitude Information Systems, Inc.
The operations of the combined entity are currently comprised solely of the
operations of Magnitude, Inc.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial statements and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
disclosures required for annual financial statements. These financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and
related footnotes included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-KSB for the
year ended December 31, 2003.
In the opinion of the Company's management, all adjustments (consisting of
normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the Company's financial
position as of March 31, 2004, the results of operations for the three months
ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, and the cash flows for the three months ended
March 31, 2004 and 2003, have been included.

MARCH 31, 2004
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, Continued
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Magnitude
Information Systems, Inc. and its subsidiary Magnitude, Inc. All significant
inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Inventories
Inventory consists of finished goods that are stated at the lower of cost
(determined by the first-in, first out method) or market.
Depreciation and Amortization
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation on equipment,
furniture and fixtures and leasehold improvements is computed on the
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of such assets between 3-10
years. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Software
assets are capitalized at the fair value of stock exchanged/granted upon
acquisition and are amortized on the straight-line method on a
product-by-product basis over the estimated economic life of the products which
has been determined to be 10 years.
Securities Issued for Services
The Company accounts for stock, stock options and stock warrants issued for
services and compensation by employees under the intrinsic value method. For
non-employees, the fair market value of the Company's stock on the date of stock
issuance or option/grant is used. The Company determined the fair market value
of the warrants/options issued under the Black-Scholes Pricing Model. Effective
January 1, 1996, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard
(SFAS) No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-based Compensation". The statement
generally suggests, but does not require, employee stock-based compensation
transactions to be accounted for based on the fair value of the services
rendered or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more
reliably measurable. As permitted by the statement, the Company has elected to
continue to follow the requirements of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.
25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees' for employees under the intrinsic
value method. The adoption of SFAS No. 123 does not have a material impact on
the financial statements.
Income Taxes
The Company provides for income taxes based on enacted tax law and statutory tax
rates at which items of income and expenses are expected to be settled in the
Company's income tax return. Certain items of revenue and expense are reported
for Federal income tax purposes in different periods than for financial
reporting purposes, thereby resulting in deferred income taxes. Deferred taxes
are also recognized for operating losses that are available to offset future
taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce
deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The Company has
incurred net operating losses for financial-reporting and tax-reporting
purposes. Accordingly, for Federal and state income tax purposes, the benefit
for income taxes has been offset entirely by a valuation allowance against the
related federal and state deferred tax asset for the year ended December 31,
2003.

MARCH 31, 2004
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, Continued
Net Loss Per Share
Net loss per share, in accordance with the provisions of Financial Accounting
Standards Board No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" is computed by dividing net loss
by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the
period. Common Stock equivalents have not been included in this computation
since the effect would be anti-dilutive.
Revenue Recognition
The Company's revenue recognition policy for software sales is in accordance
with Accounting Statement of Position 97-2. Revenue is recognized at the time of
licensing provided that the resulting receivable position is deemed probable of
collection and is fixed or determinable. Revenue from software maintenance
contracts is recognized ratably as earned. Where a sales contract includes
multiple elements, revenues are allocated to the various elements based on
Company-specific objective evidence of fair value, regardless of any separate
prices for each element that may be stated within the contract.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
GOING CONCERN
The ability of the Company to continue its operations is dependent on increasing
sales and obtaining additional capital and financing. In their report for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2003, our auditors had expressed an opinion that,
as a result of the losses incurred, there was substantial doubt regarding our
ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do
not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company were unable
to continue as a going concern. During the last two years and the first quarter
in 2004 the Company has relied on the private placement of its common and
preferred stock to fund its operations. Management's plans are to continue
seeking additional working capital through equity and debt placements with
private and institutional investors.

Independent Auditors' Report
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Magnitude Information Systems, Inc. and Subsidiaries
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Magnitude
Information Systems, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2003 and the
related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit),
and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Magnitude
Information Systems, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2003 and the
consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the years
ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in the notes to the
financial statements, the Company's significant operating losses raise
substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the
outcome of this uncertainty.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Organization
Magnitude Information Systems, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated as a
Delaware corporation on April 19, 1988 under the name Fortunistics Inc. On
November 18, 1998, the Company changed its name to Magnitude Information
Systems, Inc.
The Company and Magnitude, Inc. are two separate legal entities whereby
Magnitude, Inc. operates as a subsidiary of the Company. However, the
operations of the combined entity are currently comprised solely of the
operations of Magnitude, Inc. The 1% of Magnitude, Inc. not owned by the
Company constitutes a minority interest which is valued at $0.
On January 15, 2000, the Company acquired all of the issued and
outstanding capital stock of Cornell Ergonomics, Inc. (Cornell) and
Internet Ergonomics Technologies Corp. (IET), privately held Delaware
Corporations, whose only property was comprised of certain proprietary
ergonomic software modules, in exchange for the Company's common stock.
These modules were subsequently transferred to the Company. The Company is
currently in the process of dissolving both Cornell and IET.
The Company's primary product is an integrated suite of proprietary
software modules marketed under the name ErgoManagerTM which are designed
to help individual computer users and businesses increase productivity and
reduce the risk of potentially preventable repetitive stress injury (RSI).
These software modules can be applied individually or together in a
comprehensive ergonomic and early intervention program that seeks to
modify a user's behavior by monitoring computer usage patterns over time
and warning the user when to break a dangerous trend in repetitive usage
of an input device, such as a keyboard or mouse. The product was developed
to train people working on computers, monitor computer-use related
activities and evaluate a user's risk exposure and propensity towards
injury or loss of effectiveness in connection with his/her day-to-day
work. Moreover, the software enables a company to not only address the
issue of health risks involving employees and to minimize resulting
potential liabilities, but delivers a powerful tool to increase overall
productivity.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Magnitude
Information Systems, Inc. and its subsidiary, Magnitude, Inc. All
significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Depreciation
Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation on
equipment, furniture and fixtures and leasehold improvements is computed
on the straight line method over the estimated useful lives of such assets
between 5-10 years. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as
incurred. Repairs and maintenance which do not extend the useful lives of
the related assets are expensed as incurred.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - (Continued)
Inventory
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost (first in, first out) or market
value and consists primarily of packaged software.
Amortization
Software assets are capitalized at the fair value of stock
exchanged/granted upon acquisition and are amortized on the straight line
method on a product-by-product basis over the estimated economic life of
the products which has been determined to be 10 years.
Advertising Costs
Advertising costs are charged to operations when incurred. Advertising
expense was $31,546 and $6,065 for the years ended December 31, 2003 and
2002, respectively.
Evaluation of Long Lived Assets
Long-lived assets are assessed for recoverability on an ongoing basis. In
evaluating the fair value and future benefits of long-lived assets, their
carrying value would be reduced by the excess, if any, of the long-lived
asset over management's estimate of the anticipated undiscounted future
net cash flows of the related long-lived asset.
Securities Issued for Services
The Company accounts for stock, stock options and stock warrants issued
for services and compensation by employees under the intrinsic value
method. For non-employees, the fair market value of the Company's stock on
the date of stock issuance or option/grant is used. The Company determined
the fair market value of the warrants/options issued under the
Black-Scholes Pricing Model and applied a 50% discount due to the trading
nature of the Company's stock. A similar discount was utilized in valuing
stock issued. Effective January 1, 1996, the Company adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-based
Compensation". The statement generally suggests, but does not require,
employee stock-based compensation transactions to be accounted for based
on the fair value of the services rendered or the fair value of the equity
instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. As permitted by
the statement, the Company has elected to continue to follow the
requirements of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting
for Stock Issued to Employees' for employees under the intrinsic value
method. The adoption of SFAS No. 123 does not have a material impact on
the financial statements.
Income Taxes
The Company provides for income taxes based on enacted tax law and
statutory tax rates at which items of income and expenses are expected to
be settled in the Company's income tax return. Certain items of revenue
and expense are reported for Federal income tax purposes in different
periods than for financial reporting purposes, thereby resulting in
deferred income taxes. Deferred taxes are also recognized for operating
losses that are available to offset future taxable income. Valuation
allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to
the amount expected to be realized. The Company has incurred net operating
losses for financial-reporting and tax-reporting purposes. Accordingly,
for Federal and state income tax purposes, the benefit for income taxes
has been offset entirely by a valuation allowance against the related
federal and state deferred tax asset for the year ended December 31, 2003.
Net Loss Per Share
Net loss per share, in accordance with the provisions of Financial
Accounting Standards Board No. 128, "Earnings Per Share," is computed by
dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding during the period. Common Stock equivalents have not been
included in this computation since the effect would be anti-dilutive.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - (Continued)
Revenue Recognition
The Company's revenue recognition policy for software sales is in
accordance with Accounting Statement of Position 97-2. Revenue is
recognized at the time of licensing provided that the resulting receivable
is deemed probable of collection and is fixed or determinable. Revenue
from software maintenance contracts is recognized ratably as earned. When
a sales contract includes multiple elements, revenues are allocated to the
various elements based on Company - specific objective evidence of fair
value, regardless of any separate prices for each element that may be
stated within the contract.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure
of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
GOING CONCERN
As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company incurred
net losses of $2,337,881 and $2,642,673 during the years ended December
31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The ability of the Company to continue as
a going concern is dependent on increasing sales and obtaining additional
capital and financing. The financial statements do not include any
adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue
as a going concern. Management's plans are to continue discussions with
several potential investors to obtain additional capital in order to
alleviate the situation.
CONCENTRATIONS OF BUSINESS AND CREDIT RISK
The Company maintains cash balances in several financial institutions
which are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to
$100,000. Balances in these accounts may, at times, exceed the federally
insured limits.
The Company provides credit in the normal course of business to customers
located throughout the U.S. The Company performs ongoing credit
evaluations of its customers and maintains allowances for doubtful
accounts based on factors surrounding the credit risk of specific
customers, historical trends, and other information.
PREPAID EXPENSES
Prepaid expenses are recorded in connection with common stock/options
issued to consultants for future services and are amortized over the
period of the agreement, ranging from one to two years.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment consist of the following at December 31, 2003:
Equipment $ 77,715
Furniture and fixtures 72,230

The Company had one major customer for the year ended December 31, 2003, which
comprised 25% of total sales, and one major customer for the year ended December
31, 2002 which comprised 63% of total sales. The Company's revenue profile
consists of a larger number of small transactions interspersed with a few large
contracts which, if they were not to materialize, would significantly alter
period revenues. This unpredictability and volatility represents a risk.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, notes payable,
long-term debt and capitalized lease obligations:
The carrying amount approximates fair value because of the short term maturity
of these instruments.
Limitations
Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant
information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates are
subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant
judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in
assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

Accounting for Intangible Assets of Motor Carriers, and SFAS No. 64,
Extinguishments of Debt Made to Satisfy Sinking-Fund Requirements. This
statement amends SFAS No. 13, Accounting for Leases, to eliminate
inconsistencies between the required accounting for sales-leaseback transactions
and the required accounting for certain lease modifications that have economic
effects that are similar to sales-leaseback transactions. Also, this statement
amends other existing authoritative pronouncements to make various technical
corrections, clarify meanings, or describe their applicability under changed
conditions. Provisions of SFAS No. 145 related to the rescissions of SFAS No. 4
were effective for the Company on November 1, 2002 and provisions affecting SFAS
No. 13 were effective for transactions occurring after May 15, 2002. The

have a significant impact on the Company's results of operations or financial
position.
In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation-Transition and Disclosure, which provides alternative methods of
transition for a voluntary change to fair value based method of accounting for
stock-based employee compensation as prescribed in SFAS 123, Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation. Additionally, SFAS No. 148 required more prominent and
more frequent disclosures in financial statements about the effects of
stock-based compensation. The provisions of this Statement are effective for
fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002. The adoption of this statement is
not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's results of operations

including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts
(collectively referred to as derivatives) and for hedging activities under FASB
Statement No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.
This Statement is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June
30, 2003, except for certain hedging relationships designated after June 30,
2003. Most provisions of this Statement should be applied prospectively. The
adoption of this statement is not expected to have a significant impact on the
Company's results of operations or financial position.
In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS Statement No. 150, "Accounting for Certain
Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity". This
Statement establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures
certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and
equity. It requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is
within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances). This
statement is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after
May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim
period beginning after June 15, 2003, except for mandatorily redeemable
financial instruments of nonpublic entities, if applicable. It is to be
implemented by reporting the cumulative effect of a change in an accounting
principle for financial instruments created before the issuance date of the
Statement and still existing at the beginning of the interim period of adoption.
The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a significant impact on
the Company's results of operations or financial position.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (continued)
In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45 ("FIN 45"), Guarantor's
Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect
Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others. FIN 45 requires a company, at the time it
issues a guarantee, to recognize an initial liability for the fair value of
obligations assumed under the guarantees and elaborates on existing disclosure
requirements related to guarantees and warranties. The recognition requirements
are effective for guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002 for
initial recognition and initial measurement provisions. The adoption of FIN 45
did not have a significant impact on the Company's results of operations or
financial position.
In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 ("FIN 46"),
Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51.
FIN 46 requires certain variable interest entities to be consolidated by the
primary beneficiary of the entity if the equity investors in the entity do not
have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have
sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without
additional subordinated financial support from other parties. FIN 46 is
effective for all new variable interest entities created or acquired after
January 31, 2003. For variable interest entities created or acquired prior to
February 1, 2003, the provisions of FIN 46 must be applied for the first interim
or annual period beginning after June 15, 2003. The adoption of FIN 46 did not
have a significant impact on the Company' results of operations or financial
position.

PART II
INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN THE PROSPECTUS
ITEM 24. INDEMNIFICATION AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY OF MANAGEMENT
As permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, Magnitude has included in
its Certificate of Incorporation a provision to eliminate the personal liability
of it's directors for monetary damages for breach or alleged breach of their
fiduciary duties as directors, subject to certain exceptions. In addition, the
Bylaws of Magnitude require the Company to (i) indemnify the officers and
directors under certain circumstances, including those circumstances in which
indemnification would otherwise be discretionary, and (ii) advance expenses to
the officers and directors as incurred in connection with proceedings against
them for which they may be indemnified. Magnitude has entered into
indemnification agreements with the officers and directors containing provisions
that are in some respects broader than the specific indemnification provisions
contained in the Delaware General Corporation Law. The indemnification
agreements may require the companies, among other things, to indemnify such
officers and directors against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of
their status or service as directors or officers (other than liabilities arising
from willful misconduct of a culpable nature), to advance expenses incurred as a
result of any proceeding against them as to which they may be indemnified, and
to obtain directors' and officers' insurance if available on reasonable terms.
Magnitude believes that these charter provisions and indemnification agreements
are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers.
Magnitude understands that the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission
is of the opinion that statutory, charter and contractual provisions as are
described above have no effect on claims arising under the federal securities
laws.
ITEM 25. OTHER EXPENSES OF ISSUANCE AND DISTRIBUTION
Magnitude will pay all expenses incident to the offering and sale to the public
of the shares being registered other than any commissions and discounts of
underwriters, dealers or agents and any transfer taxes. Such expenses are set
forth in the following table. All of the amounts shown are estimates except the
Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") registration fee.
Legal fees and expenses 30,000.00
Accounting fees and expenses 5,000.00
Printing expenses 2,500.00
Miscellaneous expenses 5,000.00

ITEM 28. UNDERTAKINGS
A. UNDERTAKING PURSUANT TO RULE 415
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) Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act"); (ii) to reflect in the
prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the
Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof)
which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the
information set forth in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the
total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was
registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum
offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC
pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price
represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set
forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective
Registration Statement; (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; (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 that remain
unsold at the termination of this offering.
73
B. UNDERTAKING IN RESPECT OF INDEMNIFICATION
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may
be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been
advised that in the opinion of the SEC 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 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.
