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 62,795,481 shares of common stock, $.0001
par value, including 9,366,700 shares of
common stock issuable upon conversion of
Series E Preferred Stock, and 22,964,599
shares of common stock issuable upon the
exercise of Warrants. See "Selling
Shareholders" at page 13.
Selling Shareholders The selling shareholders are identified in
this prospectus at page 13 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 13.
Plan of Distribution Up to 62,795,481 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
$3,444,690 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 200,000,000 shares of common stock
and 3,000,000 shares of preferred stock of
which 110,381,323 common shares and 286,857
preferred shares were issued and outstanding
at August 17, 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 and warrants, an additional
32,331,299 common shares, representing part
of the shares being registered, will be
outstanding, and; secondly, we have filed
two additional registration statements,
registering an additional 55,223,255 common
shares for current investors and, as with
the selling shareholders in this prospectus,
if all of them exercise and/or convert their
convertible preferred stock, stock options,
warrants and the convertible note into
common shares, we will have 156,126,304
outstanding common shares. We have in
reserve an additional 2,713,143 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 second quarter of
2004 of $563,993, for the six months ended
June 30, 2004 of $1,266,506 and losses for
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003 of $
2,337,881 and losses of $2,763,104 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 $1,266,506 for the six
months ended June 30, 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 our financial condition as
shown in our financial statements for our fiscal year that ended on December
31,2003 raises 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.
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 six months
ended June 30, 2004, we had revenues of only $64,874. 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.
7
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.
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.
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:
8
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 2004, the
average high sales price for our common stock traded in the public market was
$0.134 per share while the average low sales price during the same period was
$0.126 per share. Similarly, $0.094 was the average high and $0.088 the average
low trading prices of our stock during the fourth quarter of 2003 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.
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 62,795,481 common shares offered in this prospectus, 30,464,182 common
shares have already been issued to the selling shareholders. If the selling
shareholders were to fully exercise their rights under their warrants and
convertible preferred stock to purchase or convert into the remaining 32,331,299
common shares offered in this prospectus and then sell them, the market price of
our common stock could be materially adversely affected. As of August 17, 2004,
the substantial majority of the warrants had exercise prices above the current
market price of our common stock. In addition, we have filed two additional
registration statements, registering a total of 55,223,255 common shares for
current investors. 41,809,573 of these shares have already been issued to the
new investors with the balance of 13,413,682 shares underlying stock options,
warrants convertible preferred stock and a convertible note. 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.
9
Market Overhang
As of August 17, we had 110,381,323 common shares outstanding. As of August 17,
2004, we had 11,944,308 outstanding stock options, 25,430,502 outstanding common
stock purchase warrants, 286,857 preferred shares convertible into 11,123,898
common shares. If all the outstanding stock options, common stock purchase
warrants and preferred shares were exercised and/or converted by their holders
an additional 48,498,708 common shares would be outstanding; this would
represent an approximate 44% 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 62,795,481 shares for sale by
the Selling Shareholders in this prospectus and an aggregate 55,223,255 shares
for investors in our two additional registration statements; if a significant
portion of these shares were sold by the Selling Shareholders in this prospectus
and the investors further to our two additional registration statements 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.
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
When used in this Prospectus, the words or phrases "will likely result," "are
expected to," "will continue," "is anticipated," "estimate," "projected,"
"intends to" or similar expressions are intended to identify "forward-looking
statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act
of 1995. Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties,
including but not limited to economic conditions, changes in laws or
regulations, the Company's history of operating losses, demand for its software
products and services, newly developed technologies and software, regulatory
matters, protection of technology, lack of industry standards, the ability to
obtain contracts and licensing sales, the effects of competition and the ability
of the Company to obtain additional financing. Such factors, which are discussed
in "Risk Factors," "Business" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and the notes to consolidated
financial statements, could affect the Company's financial performance and could
cause the Company's actual results for future periods to differ materially from
any opinions or statements expressed with undue reliance on any such
forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. See "Risk
Factors," "Business" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial

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

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 $3,444,690 in proceeds from the cash
exercise of the warrants 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.

of the Company's Series E Senior Convertible Preferred Stock and the exercise of
Company warrants. Magnitude may from time to time supplement or amend this
prospectus, as required, to provide other information with respect to the
selling securityholders.
The following table sets forth certain information regarding ownership of
Magnitude's common stock by the selling securityholders as of August 17, 2004,
including their names, and the number of shares of common stock owned by them
and offered pursuant to this prospectus. The selling securityholders 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 securityholders, not because they had
expressed an intent to immediately sell their shares.

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE
This prospectus covers 62,795,481 common shares. As of August 17, 2004, there
are 110,381,323 common shares issued and outstanding of which approximately
34.000,000 are freely tradable.
Upon the effectiveness of this registration statement, (a) an additional
30,464,182 common shares already issued and (b) 32,331,299 common shares
underlying warrants and convertible preferred stock which, if converted or
exercised, will result in those shares also being freely tradable.
Apart from this prospectus and registration statement, we have filed two
additional registration statements on Forms SB-2, registering a total of
55,223,255 shares of our common stock on behalf of current investors. Upon the
effectiveness of these two additional registration statements, (a) a further
41,809,573 common shares already issued and (b) 13,413,682 common shares
underlying stock options, warrants, convertible preferred stock and a
convertible note which if exercised will also become freely tradable.
In addition to our three registration statements referenced above, the 4,107,568
remaining shares of common stock presently outstanding that are restricted
and/or affiliate securities and not included in our three prospectuses as well
as 118,298 common shares underlying the issued and outstanding convertible
preferred stock, 350,000 common shares underlying outstanding warrants, and
4,594,442 common shares underlying outstanding stock options, which, if
converted or exercised, as the case may be, may not presently, but may in the
future be sold into any public market that may exist 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.
17
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
This Prospectus and the registration statement in which it is included relates
to the offer and sale of up to an aggregate 62,795,481 common shares by the
Selling Shareholders. As used in this prospectus, "Selling Shareholders"
includes donees, pledgees, transferees or other successors-in-interest selling
shares received after the date of this prospectus from a Selling Shareholder as
a gift, pledge, partnership distribution or other non-sale related transfer. The
Selling Shareholders may sell some or all of their shares at any time and in any
of the following ways. They may sell their shares:
o To underwriters who buy the shares for their own account and resell them in
one or more transactions, including negotiated transactions, at a fixed public
offering price or at varying prices determined at the time of sale. Any public
offering price and any discount or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to
dealers may be changed from time to time;
o Through brokers, acting as principal or 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, in special
offerings, exchange distributions 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 prices related to such prevailing market
prices, at negotiated prices or at fixed prices;
o Directly or through brokers or agents in private sales at negotiated
prices; or
o By any other legally available means.
One of our selling shareholders, Kellogg Capital Group, LLC, is an NASD
registered broker-dealer and is, therefore, deemed an "underwriter" of our
common stock it offers and sells pursuant to this prospectus.
Selling Shareholders may pay part of the proceeds from the sale of shares in
commissions and other compensation to underwriters, dealers, brokers or agents
who participate in the sales.
Certain states may require shares to be sold only through registered or licensed
brokers or dealers. In addition, certain states may require the shares to be
registered or qualified for sale unless an exemption from registration or
qualification is available and complied with.
Magnitude has agreed to contribute to payments the Selling Shareholders may be
required to make under the Securities Act.

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 August 17, 2004, there were outstanding 110,381,323 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
93,667 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
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.
28
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:
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.
29
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).
30
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.
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.
31
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.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
CAUTIONARY STATEMENT PURSUANT TO "SAFE HARBOR" PROVISIONS OF SECTION 21E OF THE
SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934
Except for historical information, the Company's reports to the Securities and
Exchange Commission on Form 10-KSB and Form 10-QSB and periodic press releases,
as well as other public documents and statements, contain "forward-looking
statements" within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934. Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that
could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied
by the statements. These risks and uncertainties include general economic and
business conditions, development and market acceptance of the Company's
products, and other risks and uncertainties identified in the Company's reports
to the Securities and Exchange Commission, periodic press releases, or other
public documents or statements.
Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.
The Company undertakes no obligation to republish or revise forward-looking
statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to
reflect the occurrences of unanticipated events.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 2004
Our efforts during the quarter, to close some of the larger sales contracts for
a company-wide deployment of our software products at several large potential
clients, that we have been working on for some time now, have not met with
success as of the date of this report. We are continuing these efforts and are
still optimistic about ultimate success, however, cannot predict when this might
occur. We also continued with a program of co-marketing the Company's products
together with selected partners in the insurance and risk management industry.
The quarter ended June 30, 2004, showed revenues of $20,294, compared to $33,107
achieved in the second quarter of 2003. Revenues for the six months ended June
30, 2004, totaled $64,874, close to the $68,559 recorded in 2003 for the same
period.
Gross profits for the quarter amounted to negative $18,772, as a result of 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. Our expense and cost structure was
essentially unchanged from prior periods, and, after deducting selling - and
general and administrative expenses of $527,342 which decreased by 13% over the
$607,875 recorded in 2003, the Company realized an operating loss of $546,097,
compared to an operating loss of $613,748 in 2003. Non-operating expenses
consisted of $3,406 net interest expense and a charge of $14,489 for a valuation
allowance on certain inventories. The period result was a net loss of $563,993,
with a total loss for the first six months of $1,266,506, compared to losses of
$638,360 and $ 1,322,776 respectively, for the same periods in 2003.
After accounting for dividend accruals on outstanding preferred stock which
totaled $56,873, and an accounting charge to capital for amortization of
discount for warrants issued in connection with the placement of certain
convertible stock which amounted to $779,026, the net loss for the quarter
applicable to common shareholders was $1,399,892 or $0.02 per share, compared to
a loss of $667,177 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.
33
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 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 JUNE 30, 2004
The cash reserves that were built up during the first quarter, augmented by
limited subsequent new equity placements, were sufficient to finance the
Company's operations during the second quarter. Such new equity placement
transactions resulted in the receipt of approximately $280,000 cash. The
issuances of new common and convertible preferred stock during the first six
months of the year, and anticipated issuance of further shares thereafter
necessitated an increase in the authorized number of common shares, for which
the Company obtained shareholder approval in June (see "Submission of Matters to
a Vote of Securities' Holders").
At June 30, 2004, the deficit in working capital amounted to $899,434, compared
to $619,182 at March 31, 2004. The cash flow from operations during the first
six months totaled approximately negative $966,000 and was financed by new
equity which was obtained through the placement of common and convertible
preferred stock with accredited private investors. Details of such transactions
can be found in the "Changes in Securities" section in this report and in the
Company's report on Form 10-QSB for the period ended March 31, 2004. 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 registrations were declared
effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission as of June 30, 2004.
At the time of this submission, the Company had no bank debt. At June 30, 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 472,920 in accrued dividends, the majority 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 discussions 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.
34
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 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.
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
35
CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
On March 31, 2000, the Company and its President and Chief Executive Officer
agreed to convert a current liability payable to him in the amount of $374,890
into a Company obligation, of which $100,000 was subsequently classified as due
on demand, which was repaid in April 2002, with the remaining balance of
$274,890 maturing July 1, 2002. On February 19, 2002, the maturity of the term
portion of $274,890 was extended to July 2003, and the board of directors of the
Company approved a change in the conversion option towards a rate of $0.10 per
share. In January 2004, $175,000 was repaid and the maturity of the remaining
open balance of $99,890 was extended to January, 2005.
In January 2003, the Company and its President and Chief Executive Officer
agreed to convert most of his base salary for the remainder of the year 2003
into restricted common stock in lieu of cash at the rate of $0.10 per share, for
a total amount of $100,000.
During the first quarter in 2003, an outside director of the Company was awarded
a stock grant for 200,000 restricted common shares, for services rendered. The
same director converted $20,500 in accrued expenses incurred on behalf of the
Company, into 205,000 restricted shares.
During the first quarter in 2003, the Company's President and Chief Executive
Officer and an outside director of the Company extended cash advances to the
Company, totaling $92,500, repayable on demand and carrying interest at the rate
of 10% p.a.
During the second quarter in 2003, an outside director of the Company was

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2004
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 and its quarterly report on Form 10-QSB for the
period ended March 31, 2004.
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 June 30, 2004, the
results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30,
2004 and 2003, and the cash flows for the six months ended June 30,
2004 and 2003, have been included.

MAGNITUDE INFORMATION SYSTEMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 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.

MAGNITUDE INFORMATION SYSTEMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 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.

CONCENTRATIONS OF BUSINESS AND CREDIT RISK
The Company maintains cash balances in a financial institution which are
insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $100,000.

The Company provides credit in the normal course of business to customers
located throughout the U.S. and overseas. 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.

$50,000 representing the value of the unamortized portion of part of the
Company's chief executive officer's base salary for the remainder of the
current year which was prepaid in January 2004 in the form of convertible
preferred stock and warrants, in lieu of cash (see "Related Party

At December 31, 1999 the Company had $1,475,000 of notes outstanding
related to a June 1995 private placement offering. During 2000 the
holders of $1,450,000 worth of notes agreed to accept partial
repayment of approximately 30% of the note balances and converted
the remaining balances into common shares or convertible preferred
shares. The total amount of non-converted notes outstanding at June

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.

MAGNITUDE INFORMATION SYSTEMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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.
59
MAGNITUDE INFORMATION SYSTEMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
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.

MAGNITUDE INFORMATION SYSTEMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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:

Section 422A of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, while
non-qualified options may also be granted under the Plan. The initial plan and
subsequent amendments provided for the grant of options for up to 1,000,000
shares. The purchase price per share of common stock deliverable upon exercise
of each ISO shall not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the common
stock on the date such option is granted. If an ISO is issued to an individual
who owns, at the time of grant, more than 10% of the total combined voting power
of all classes of the Company's common stock, the exercise price of such option
shall be at least 110% of the fair market value of the common stock on the date
of grant and the term of the option shall not exceed five years from the date of
grant. The purchase price of shares subject to non-qualified stock options shall
be determined by a committee established by the Board of Directors with the
condition that such prices shall not be less than 85% of the fair market value
of the common stock at the time of grant.
In May 2000 the Company adopted its 2000 Stock Incentive Plan ("the 2000 Plan").
The 2000 Plan provides that certain options granted thereunder are intended to
qualify as "incentive stock options" (ISO) within the meaning of Section 422A of
the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, while nonqualified options may
also be granted under the Plan. The initial Plan provides for the grant of
options for up to 5,000,000 shares. The purchase price per share of common stock
deliverable upon exercise of each ISO shall not be less than 100% of the fair
market value of the common stock on the date such option is granted. If an ISO
is issued to an individual who owns, at the time of grant, more than 10% of the
total combined voting power of all classes of the Company's common stock, the
exercise price of such option shall be at least 110% of the fair market value of
the common stock on the date of the grant, and the term of the option shall not
exceed five years from the date of grant. The purchase price of shares subject
to non-qualified stock options shall be determined by a compensation committee
established by the Board of Directors.

resulting in net loss of $2,297,365 and $2,680,445 net of tax, respectively, and
loss per share of $0.03 and $.06, respectively. The value of each option grant
is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model
with the following weighted average assumptions: expected dividend, 0%;
risk-free interest rate, 5%; expected volatility, 115%; and expected life (in

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (CONTINUED)
During the first quarter of 2003, an outside director of the Company was awarded
a stock grant for 200,000 restricted common shares, for services rendered. The
same director converted $20,500 in accrued expenses incurred on behalf of the

the rate of 10% per annum.
During the second quarter of 2003, an outside director of the Company was
awarded a stock grant for 163,500 restricted common shares, for services
rendered.
In a meeting of the board of directors of the Company on May 29, 2003, in
consideration of the Company's President's role in augmenting available working
capital through salary conversion and direct cash loans, the board approved a
reduction in the exercise price of stock options for a total 4,147,917 shares
issued to him, from prices ranging from $0.50 to $1.00, to $0.10 per share.

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.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, Rescission of FASB Statements No.
4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections.
This statement rescinds SFAS No. 4, Reporting Gains and Losses from
Extinguishment of Debt, and an amendment of that statement, SFAS No. 44,
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
adoption of SFAS No. 145 did not have a significant impact on the Company's
results of operations or financial position.
In June 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with
Exit or Disposal Activities. This statement covers restructuring type activities
beginning with plans initiated after December 31, 2002. Activities covered by
this standard that are entered into after that date will be recorded in
accordance with provisions of SFAS No. 146. The adoption of SFAS No. 146 did not
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
of financial position.
In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS Statement No. 149, "Amendment of Statement
133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", which amends and
clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments,
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.

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

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.

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.
