                            10,211,625 COMMON SHARES

      This  prospectus  relates  to the  public  offering,  which  is not  being
underwritten,  of  10,211,625  of our  common  shares,  9,231,613  of which  are
outstanding  and 980,012 of which may be issued as the result of the exercise of
warrants,  held by certain  shareholders  of Workstream Inc. The prices at which
such  shareholders  may sell the shares  will be  determined  by the  prevailing
market  price  for  the  shares  or  in  negotiated  transactions.  The  selling
shareholders  will receive all of the net  proceeds  from the sale of the common
shares.  We will,  however,  receive  the  respective  exercise  price  upon the
exercise of warrants which may occur prior to the sale of the underlying  common
shares by a selling shareholder.


      Our common  shares are  traded on the  NASDAQ  Small Cap Market  under the
symbol "WSTM" and on the Boston Stock  Exchange under the symbol "ERM." The last
reported  sale  price of the  common  shares on the  NASDAQ  Small Cap Market on
December 10, 2004 was $2.78 per share.

information.  You  should  not  assume  that  the  information  contained  in or

                           FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

      The Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") encourages companies to
disclose  forward-looking  information so that investors can better understand a
company's  future  prospects  and  make  informed  investment  decisions.   This
prospectus contains "forward-looking  statements" as that term is defined in the
U.S.  Private   Securities   Litigation  Reform  Act  of  1995.  Words  such  as
"anticipate,"  "estimate,"  "expect,"  "project,"  "intend," "plan,"  "believe,"
"will"   and  words  and  terms  of   similar   substance   typically   indicate
forward-looking  statements.  All  forward-looking  statements are  management's
present expectations of future events and are subject to a number of factors and
uncertainties, some of them being discussed under "Risk Factors" hereafter, that
could cause  actual  results to differ  materially  from those  described in the
forward-looking statements.

      You are  cautioned  not to place undue  reliance  on such  forward-looking
statements,  which speak only as of the date they were made.  Workstream Inc. is
not under any obligation,  and expressly disclaims any obligation,  to update or
alter any  forward-looking  statements,  whether as a result of new information,
future  events  or  otherwise.   All   subsequent   forward-looking   statements
attributable  to Workstream  Inc.,  its affiliates or any person acting on their
behalf are expressly  qualified in their entirety by the  cautionary  statements
referred to in this section.

                               PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

      This summary highlights information contained elsewhere or incorporated by
reference in this  prospectus.  This summary may not contain all the information
that may be  important  to you.  You should read the entire  prospectus  and the
incorporated  information  before  making an  investment  decision.  Unless  the
context requires  otherwise,  references to "we," "us" and "our" mean Workstream
Inc. and its subsidiaries. You should assume that all figures are stated in U.S.
dollars unless indicated otherwise.

DESCRIPTION OF WORKSTREAM INC.


      We are a provider of services and  web-based  software  for human  capital
management,  or HCM.  HCM is the  process  by which  companies  recruit,  train,
evaluate,  motivate and retain their  employees.  We offer software and services
that  address the needs of  companies  to more  effectively  manage  their human
capital  management  function.  Our software  provides a range of solutions  for
their needs,  including creating and managing job requisitions,  advertising job
opportunities,  tracking candidates,  screening  applicants,  searching resumes,
operating customized career web sites,  processing hiring information,  creating
internal and  external  reports to evaluate  the  staffing  process,  evaluating
employee's  job  performance,   and  offering  benefits  that  promote  employee
retention.  We also provide services through a web-site where job-seeking senior
executives  can search job databases and post their  resumes,  and companies and
recruiters can post position  openings and search for qualified senior executive
candidates.   In  addition,  we  offer  recruitment  research  and  outplacement
services. We believe that our "one-stop-shopping"  approach for our clients' HCM
needs is more efficient and effective than traditional methods of human resource
management.  We have 11 offices and  approximately  235  employees  across North
America.


      Our principal  executive offices are located at 495 March Road, Suite 300,
Ottawa, Ontario, Canada K2K 3G1 and our telephone number is (613) 270-0619.

THE OFFERING

Stock Offered............................ 10,211,625 common shares

Use of Proceeds.......................... We will not receive any proceeds from
                                          the sale of our common shares by the
                                          selling shareholders. We will,
                                          however, receive the respective
                                          exercise  price upon the exercise of
                                          warrants which may occur prior to the
                                          sale of the underlying common shares
                                          by a selling shareholder. Assuming
                                          that allof the warrants covered by
                                          this prospectus are exercised for
                                          cash, the aggregate amount of proceeds
                                          that we would receive from the
                                          exercises of the warrants is
                                          $1,690,857.51. We will use these
                                          proceeds for general corporate
                                          purposes.

                                  RISK FACTORS

      Investment in our securities involves certain elements of risk.  Investors
should  carefully  consider the  following  factors,  among others  included and
incorporated  by reference in this  prospectus,  before  investing in the common
shares. The realization of these risks could result in a material adverse effect
on our results of operations,  financial condition,  cash flows, business or the
market for our common  shares.  We cannot  assure you that we will  successfully
address any of these risks or address them on a continuing basis.

WE MAY NOT BECOME PROFITABLE.


      Since our inception,  we have incurred losses which have been  substantial
in relation to our  operations.  As of October 31, 2004,  we had an  accumulated
deficit of $40,795,974.  We reported a net loss of $5,536,899 for the year ended
May 31, 2004 ("fiscal 2004") and a net loss of $9,676,602 for the year ended May
31, 2003 ("fiscal 2003"). Revenues for fiscal 2004 were $17,166,880. We acquired
twelve companies during fiscal 2004, fiscal 2003 and the year ended May 31, 2002
("fiscal  2002"),  seven  of which  reported  in the  aggregate  net  losses  of
approximately  $42.4 million in their  immediately  preceding  fiscal years. Our
ability  to reduce our losses  will be  adversely  affected  if we  continue  to
acquire  companies  reporting losses, if revenue grows slower than we anticipate
or if  operating  expenses  exceed  our  expectations.  Even  if  we do  achieve
profitability,  we may not sustain or increase  profitability  on a quarterly or
annual  basis.  Failure to achieve or maintain  profitability  would  materially
adversely affect the market price of our common shares.  We expect our operating
expenses to continue to grow as we expand our operations.


WE MAY ENCOUNTER DIFFICULTIES WITH ACQUISITIONS, WHICH COULD HARM OUR BUSINESS.

      During  fiscal  2004,  fiscal  2003  and  fiscal  2002,  we  made  several
acquisitions of other companies and businesses, as part of our efforts to expand
our  operations  and we may  continue  to  make  acquisitions  of  complementary
companies,  products and businesses.  The risks we may encounter in acquisitions
include:

o     difficulty  and expense of  assimilating  the  operations and personnel of
      acquired businesses;

o     difficulty  integrating  the acquired  technologies  or products  with our
      current products and technologies;

o     potential exposure to product liability or intellectual property liability
      associated with the sale of the acquired company's products;

o     diversion of management time and attention and other resources;

o     loss of key employees and customers as a result of changes in management;

o     difficulty  and expense of managing an increased  number of employees over
      large geographic distances;

o     our due diligence  processes may fail to identify  significant issues with
      product   quality,   product   architecture,   and  legal  and   financial
      contingencies, among other things;



                                       4


o     potential exposure to unknown liabilities of acquired companies;

o     the incurrence of amortization expenses;

o     possible  future  goodwill   impairment  if  the  financial   results  and
      subsequent  forecasted financial results are lower than those estimated at
      the time of the acquisition; and

o     possible dilution to our shareholders.

      In the past, we have acquired financially  distressed  businesses.  In one
instance, we acquired the business of Icarian Inc., which had lost a significant
number  of  customers  prior to our  acquiring  it due in part to its  financial
instability.  While we are  generally  successful  in  retaining  the  remaining
customers of businesses  after we acquire them, we may be  unsuccessful in doing
so in the future and we may be unable to recover customers already lost by these
financially distressed businesses.  We have frequently used our common shares to
pay the purchase price for  acquisitions.  Our common shares may not remain at a
price at which they can be used for  acquisitions  without further  diluting our
existing  shareholders,  and potential  acquisition  candidates may not view our
stock  attractively.  We may not be successful in overcoming  these risks or any
other  problems   encountered  in  connection  with  any   acquisitions.   These
difficulties may increase our expenses, and our ability to achieve profitability
may be adversely affected.

MICHAEL MULLARKEY, OUR CHAIRMAN, CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER AND PRESIDENT, MAY HAVE
INTERESTS THAT ARE DIFFERENT THAN OTHER  SHAREHOLDERS AND MAY INFLUENCE  CERTAIN
ACTIONS.


      As of December 9, 2004, Michael Mullarkey,  our Chairman,  Chief Executive
Officer  and  President,  was  our  largest  shareholder,   beneficially  owning
approximately 10% of our outstanding common shares. Mr. Mullarkey's interests as
our largest shareholder may conflict with his fiduciary duties as an officer and
director. Mr. Mullarkey's interests as our largest shareholder may influence how
Mr. Mullarkey votes on certain matters that require shareholder approval. As our
largest shareholder,  Mr. Mullarkey may influence the outcome of various actions
that require  shareholder  approval  including  the  election of our  directors,
delaying or  preventing a  transaction  in which  shareholders  might  receive a
premium over the prevailing market price for their shares and preventing changes
in control or management.


THE CURRENT ECONOMIC DOWNTURN AND FUTURE ECONOMIC DOWNTURNS MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT
THE DEMAND FOR OUR SERVICES.

      Historically,  the general  level of economic  activity has  significantly
affected the demand for employment and recruitment  services. We believe that we
are currently experiencing the effects of the current economic downturn and as a
result the demand for our employment and recruitment services has decreased.  If
the general level of economic  activity  continues to slow,  our clients may not
require  additional  personnel  and may  delay  or  cancel  plans  that  involve
recruiting new personnel  using our services and technology.  Consequently,  the
time from  initial  contact  with a  potential  client to the time of sale could
increase and the demand for our services could  decline,  resulting in a loss of
revenue  harming our business,  operating  results and financial  condition.  In
addition,  it is  expected  that in times of  economic  growth,  demand  for our
outplacement business may decline.



                                       5


WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO GROW OUR CLIENT BASE AND REVENUE BECAUSE OF COMPETITION WE
FACE.

      Our future  success  will depend to a large  extent on our ability to grow
and maintain our client base and revenue.  This requires that we offer  services
that are superior to the services being offered by the competition  that we face
and that we price our  services  competitively.  The  market  for human  capital
management,  or  HCM,  services  is  highly  fragmented  and  competitive,  with
thousands of companies  offering  products or services  that compete with one or
more of the  services  that we offer.  We compete  for a portion  of  employers'
recruiting  budgets  with many  types of  competitors,  as  employers  typically
utilize a variety of sources for recruiting, including:

o     traditional offline recruiting firms;

o     traditional offline advertising, such as print media;

o     resume processing companies;

o     Web-based recruitment companies;

o     Internet job posting companies; and

o     client-server-based software services.

      In  addition,  many  employers  are  developing  or may develop  their own
software to satisfy their  recruitment  needs. We also compete with  traditional
offline and Web-based  outplacement service companies and human resource, or HR,
service providers. While we do not believe that any of our competitors offer the
full suite of services  that we provide,  there are a number of  companies  that
have  products  or services  that  compete  with one or more of the  services we
provide.  For  instance,  companies  that  compete  with  our  automated  talent
acquisition services include Taleo Corporation (formerly  RecruitSoft),  Webhire
and Kenexa.  Companies  such as Monster  Worldwide,  Execunet and Netshare  have
products or services  that compete with our online  exchange  services.  We also
compete  with  vendors  of  enterprise  resource  planning  software,   such  as
PeopleSoft, Oracle, SAP and Performaworks. In the area of outplacement services,
we  compete  with  companies  such as  McKenzie  Scott  and WSA  Corp.  Finally,
companies  such as LifeCare,  Next Jump and  SparkFly  compete with our employee
management and retention systems services.

      We expect  competition  to increase  and  intensify  in the  future,  with
increased price competition developing for our services. A number of our current
and potential competitors have longer operating histories and greater financial,
technical and marketing  resources and name  recognition than we do, which could
give them a  competitive  advantage.  Our  competitors  may develop  products or
services  that are equal or  superior  to ours or that  achieve  greater  market
acceptance  than ours. It is also possible that new  competitors  may emerge and
rapidly acquire  significant  market share.  As a result,  we may not be able to
expand or maintain our market share and our ability to penetrate new markets may
be adversely affected.

IF WE  EXPERIENCE  CLIENT  ATTRITION,  OUR  OPERATING  RESULTS WILL BE ADVERSELY
AFFECTED.

      Our automated talent acquisition,  online exchange and employee management
and  retention  systems  services  clients  generally  enter  into  subscription
agreements for terms of one year or less. These clients represented 42 % and 40%
of our  revenue  for  fiscal  2004 and  fiscal  2003,  respectively.  We have no
assurance that these clients will maintain a long-term  relationship with us. If
these clients fail to renew their subscriptions with us, our business, revenues,
operating results and financial condition will be adversely  affected.  Since we
have only been  offering our services  for a limited  period of time,  we do not
know  what rate of client  attrition  to  expect.  To the  extent we  experience
significant  client attrition,  we must attract  additional  clients to maintain
revenue.



                                       6


WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO STRENGTHEN AND MAINTAIN AWARENESS OF OUR BRAND NAME.

      We believe  that our success  will depend to a large extent on our ability
to successfully develop,  strengthen and maintain the recognition and reputation
of our Workstream brand name. In order to strengthen and maintain our Workstream
brand recognition and reputation,  we invest and will need to continue to invest
substantial  resources in our marketing  efforts and maintain high standards for
actual and perceived quality, usefulness,  reliability, security and ease of use
of our services.  If we fail to successfully promote and maintain our Workstream
brand name,  particularly after incurring  significant expenses in promoting our
Workstream  brand name, or encounter legal obstacles which prevent our continued
use of our Workstream brand name, our business,  operating results and financial
condition  could be  materially  adversely  affected and the market price of our
common shares could decline.  Moreover,  even if we continue to provide  quality
service to our clients,  factors  outside of our control,  including  actions by
organizations  that are  mistaken  for us and factors  generally  affecting  our
industry,  could affect our  Workstream  brand and the perceived  quality of our
services.

OUR FAILURE TO ENTER INTO  STRATEGIC  RELATIONSHIPS  WITH JOB POSTING BOARDS AND
OTHER ONLINE RECRUITMENT SERVICE PROVIDERS MAY HARM OUR BUSINESS.

      If we are unable to enter into or maintain  strategic  relationships  with
job posting boards and other online  recruitment  services,  such as Monster.com
and  Yahoo!hotjobs  pursuant to which our clients can post their job openings on
such job boards,  our business  will  suffer.  These  relationships  allow us to
expand  the  services  we  provide  our  clients  without  our  having  to spend
significant  capital  resources  developing or acquiring such services.  Because
many of these job posting boards and other online recruitment  service providers
compete with each other,  the existence of a  relationship  with any  particular
third party may limit or preclude us from entering into a relationship with that
third party's competitors. In addition, some of the job posting boards and other
online  recruitment   service  providers  with  which  we  seek  to  enter  into
relationships may view us as a competitor and refuse to do business with us. Any
loss of an existing  relationship or failure to establish new  relationships may
adversely  affect our  ability  to improve  our  services,  offer an  attractive
service in the new  markets  that we enter,  or expand the  distribution  of our
services.

WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO  CONTINUE  TO EXPAND OUR  BUSINESS  IN THE  UNITED  STATES
MARKET.

      Until the  fiscal  year  ended May 31,  2001,  we  marketed  our  services
primarily in Canada.  Since that time,  we  completed  several  acquisitions  of
businesses in the United States.  Through these  acquisitions,  we endeavored to
enhance our business by  penetrating  the United  States  market.  During fiscal
2004,  2003  and  2002,   approximately  88%,  87%  and  83%  of  our  revenues,
respectively,  were generated in the United  States.  Our success and ability to
grow our business will depend to a  significant  degree on our ability to market
our services  successfully in the United States. We expect to continue to expand
our operations through acquisitions of U.S.-based companies. If we are unable to
maintain or expand our U.S. operations,  we may suffer increasing losses and the
loss of our  investment,  in whole or in part, in our  acquisitions.  This could
materially  adversely  affect our  business,  operating  results  and  financial
condition.



                                       7


BECAUSE WE HAVE  INTERNATIONAL  OPERATIONS,  WE MAY FACE  SPECIAL  ECONOMIC  AND
REGULATORY CHALLENGES THAT WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO MEET.

      Beginning in fiscal 2002, we completed several  acquisitions of businesses
in the United  States and began  marketing  our services  outside of Canada.  We
expect  to  continue  to  expand  our  U.S.  and  Canadian   operations  through
acquisitions and to spend significant  financial and managerial  resources to do
so. We have limited  experience in international  operations and may not be able
to compete successfully in international  markets. Our international  operations
are subject to certain risks, including:

o     changes in regulatory requirements, tariffs and trade barriers;

o     changes in diplomatic and trade relationships;

o     potentially adverse tax consequences;

o     the impact of recessions in economies outside of Canada;

o     the burden of complying  with a variety of foreign  laws and  regulations,
      and any unexpected changes therein;

o     political or economic  constraints on international  trade or instability;
      and

o     fluctuations in currency exchange rates.

WE MAY LOSE BUSINESS IF WE ARE UNABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY  DEVELOP AND INTRODUCE NEW
PRODUCTS, SERVICES AND FEATURES.

      If we are unable to develop  and  introduce  new  products,  services,  or
enhancements to, or new features for, existing products or services, in a timely
and  successful  manner,  we may lose  sales  opportunities.  The market for our
services is characterized by rapid and significant  technological  advancements,
the  introduction  of new products and services,  changes in client  demands and
evolving  industry  standards.  The adoption of new technologies or new industry
standards  may render our  products  obsolete and  unmarketable.  The process of
developing  new services or  technologies  is complex and  requires  significant
continuing  efforts.  We may experience  difficulties or funding  shortages that
could  delay or prevent the  successful  development,  introduction  and sale of
enhancements or new products and services.  Moreover, new products,  services or
features  which  we  introduce  may not  adequately  address  the  needs  of the
marketplace or achieve significant market acceptance.

OUR BUSINESS  COULD SUFFER IF FINANCING IS NOT AVAILABLE WHEN REQUIRED OR IS NOT
AVAILABLE ON ACCEPTABLE TERMS.

      Our future capital  requirements depend on a number of factors,  including
our  ability  to  generate   positive   cash  flow,   cash  required  by  future
acquisitions,  anticipated capital expenditures, the development of new services
or technologies and our projected operations. We believe that we have sufficient
credit facilities,  cash flow from operations and cash reserves, which, together
with  further  cost  reductions,  will  permit  us to meet our  working  capital
requirements and capital expenditure  requirements  through at least October 30,
2005.  However, it is possible that we may need to raise additional funds sooner
than  expected in order to fund  expansion,  develop new, and enhance  existing,
services or acquire complementary  businesses or technologies or if our revenues
are less or our  expenses  are  greater  than we expect.  Our  ability to obtain
financing  depends on a number of  factors,  including  our  ability to generate
positive cash flow from operations,  the amount of our cash reserves, the amount
and terms of our existing  debt  arrangements,  the  availability  of sufficient
collateral and the prospects of our business. If financing is not available when
required or is not available on acceptable terms, we may not be able to:



                                       8


o     keep up with technological advances;

o     pursue acquisition opportunities;

o     develop product enhancements;

o     make capital expenditures;

o     respond to business opportunities;

o     address competitive pressures or adverse industry developments; or

o     withstand economic or business downturns.

FUTURE FINANCINGS MAY BE ON TERMS ADVERSE TO YOUR INTERESTS.


      In the past we have  issued  and,  in the future we may  issue,  equity or
convertible  debt securities to raise additional  funds.  Since May 31, 2003, we
have issued common shares and securities that are convertible into common shares
amounting to a total of 22,494,812  common shares,  including  2,424,999  common
shares  that  were  issued  upon  conversion  of  our  8%  Senior   Subordinated
Convertible Notes that were originally sold in April and May 2002,  resulting in
a 107%  increase  in the  number of  outstanding  common  shares  (assuming  the
conversion of the convertible  securities).  If we issue additional  securities,
our  existing  shareholders  may be  further  diluted  and  holders of those new
securities  may have  dividend,  liquidation,  voting and other rights senior to
those of the holders of our common shares.


THE POWER OF OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS TO DESIGNATE AND ISSUE SHARES OF STOCK COULD
HAVE AN ADVERSE EFFECT ON HOLDERS OF OUR COMMON SHARES.

      We are authorized to issue an unlimited number of common shares, which may
be issued by our board of directors for such  consideration as they may consider
sufficient  without  seeking  shareholder  approval.  The issuance of additional
common shares in the future will reduce the  proportionate  ownership and voting
power of current  shareholders.  Our Articles of Incorporation also authorize us
to issue an  unlimited  number  of Class A  Preferred  Shares,  the  rights  and
preferences  of  which  may be  designated  by our  board of  directors  without
shareholder  approval.  The designation and issuance of Class A Preferred Shares
in the future  could  create  additional  securities  that would have  dividend,
liquidation  and voting  preferences  prior in right to the  outstanding  common
shares. These provisions could also impede a change of control.



                                       9


IF WE ARE  CHARACTERIZED  AS A  PASSIVE  FOREIGN  INVESTMENT  COMPANY,  OUR U.S.
SHAREHOLDERS MAY SUFFER ADVERSE TAX consequences.

      We believe that we were not a passive foreign  investment company for U.S.
federal income tax purposes for fiscal years 2002, 2003 and 2004. Generally,  we
may be  characterized as a passive foreign  investment  company for U.S. federal
income tax  purposes if for any taxable  year 75% of our gross income is passive
income,  or at  least  50% of our  assets  are held for the  production  of,  or
produce,  passive income. This characterization could result in adverse U.S. tax
consequences to our  shareholders.  These  consequences may include having gains
realized on the sale of our common  shares  treated as ordinary  income,  rather
than capital gain income, and having potentially punitive interest charges apply
to the proceeds of share sales. U.S.  shareholders should consult with their own
U.S. tax advisors with respect to the U.S. tax  consequences of investing in our
common shares.

OUR  BUSINESS  COULD BE  ADVERSELY  AFFECTED  IF WE ARE  UNABLE TO  PROTECT  OUR
PROPRIETARY TECHNOLOGIES.

      Our success  depends to a  significant  degree upon the  protection of our
proprietary technologies and brand names. The unauthorized reproduction or other
misappropriation  of our  proprietary  technologies  could provide third parties
with access to our  technologies  without  payment.  If this were to occur,  our
proprietary  technologies  would lose value and our business,  operating results
and financial condition could be materially  adversely affected.  We rely upon a
combination of copyright, trade secret and trademark laws and non-disclosure and
other contractual  arrangements to protect our proprietary  rights. The measures
we have taken to protect our proprietary rights, however, may not be adequate to
deter   misappropriation   of   proprietary   information   or   protect  us  if
misappropriation occurs. Policing unauthorized use of our technologies and other
intellectual property is difficult, particularly because of the global nature of
the Internet.  We may not be able to detect  unauthorized use of our proprietary
information  and take  appropriate  steps to enforce our  intellectual  property
rights. If we resort to legal  proceedings to enforce our intellectual  property
rights,  the  proceedings  could be burdensome and expensive and could involve a
high degree of risk.

THIRD PARTIES COULD CLAIM THAT WE INFRINGE UPON THEIR PROPRIETARY TECHNOLOGIES.

      Our products,  services,  content and brand names may be found to infringe
valid copyrights, trademarks or other intellectual property rights held by third
parties.  In the event of a  successful  infringement  claim  against us and our
failure  or  inability  to  modify  our   technologies   or  services,   develop
non-infringing technology or license the infringed or similar technology, we may
not be able to offer our services.  Any claims of infringement,  with or without
merit, could be time consuming to defend,  result in costly  litigation,  divert
management  attention,  require us to enter  into  costly  royalty or  licensing
arrangements,  modify  our  technologies  or  services  or prevent us from using
important  technologies  or  services,  any of which  could  harm our  business,
operating results and financial condition.

WE MAY BECOME SUBJECT TO BURDENSOME  GOVERNMENT  REGULATION WHICH COULD INCREASE
OUR COSTS OF DOING  BUSINESS,  RESTRICT  OUR  ACTIVITIES  AND/OR  SUBJECT  US TO
LIABILITY.

      Uncertainty  and new  regulations  relating to the Internet could increase
our costs of doing  business,  prevent us from providing our services,  slow the
growth of the Internet or subject us to liability,  any of which could adversely
affect our business,  operating  results and prospects.  In addition to new laws
and  regulations  being  adopted,  existing laws may be applied to the Internet.
There are currently few laws and regulations  directly  governing  access to, or
commerce on, the Internet.  However, due to the increasing popularity and use of
the Internet, the legal and regulatory environment that pertains to the Internet
is uncertain  and  continues to change.  New and existing  laws may cover issues
which include:



                                       10


o     user privacy;

o     pricing controls;

o     consumer protection;

o     libel and defamation;

o     copyright and trademark protection;

o     characteristics and quality of services;

o     sales and other taxes; and

o     other claims based on the nature and control of Internet materials.

      Recently,  the Canadian  Federal  Government  enacted privacy  legislation
which requires us to appoint an individual responsible for the administration of
personal  information,  to implement  policies and practices to protect personal
information,  to provide access to information and to deal with  complaints.  We
must  obtain  individual  consents  for each  collection,  use or  retention  of
personal information. We recently implemented procedures to comply with this new
privacy  legislation.  The  privacy  legislation  increases  our  cost of  doing
business  due  to  the  administrative  burden  of  these  laws,  restricts  our
activities in light of the consent  requirement and  potentially  subjects us to
monetary liability for breach of these laws.

COMPUTER VIRUSES OR SOFTWARE ERRORS MAY DISRUPT OUR OPERATIONS,  SUBJECT US TO A
RISK OF LOSS AND/OR EXPOSE US TO liability.

      Computer  viruses may cause our systems to incur  delays or other  service
interruptions.  In addition, the inadvertent transmission of computer viruses or
software  errors in new  services or  products  not  detected  until after their
release could expose us to a material  risk of loss or  litigation  and possible
liability.  Moreover,  if a  computer  virus  affecting  our  system  is  highly
publicized or if errors are detected in our software  after it is released,  our
reputation and brand name could be materially damaged and we could lose clients.

WE MAY EXPERIENCE  REDUCED  REVENUE,  LOSS OF CLIENTS AND HARM TO OUR REPUTATION
AND BRAND NAME IN THE EVENT OF SYSTEM FAILURES.

      We may  experience  reduced  revenue,  loss  of  clients  and  harm to our
reputation  and brand  name in the  event of  unexpected  network  interruptions
caused by system failures.  Our servers and software must be able to accommodate
a high  volume of  traffic.  If we are  unable to add  additional  software  and
hardware to accommodate  increased  demand,  we could  experience  unanticipated
system  disruptions  and slower  response  times.  Our systems are vulnerable to
damage  or  interruption   from   earthquakes,   floods,   fires,   power  loss,
telecommunication  failures,  terrorist  attacks,  computer  viruses and similar
events.  Some of our systems are not fully redundant,  and our disaster recovery
planning is not sufficient for all eventualities.  We have experienced delays in
providing our customers  access to their data in the past,  and we believe these
system interruptions will continue to occur from time to time in the future. Any
catastrophic  failure at our network  operations  center  could  prevent us from
serving our clients for a number of days, or possibly weeks,  and any failure of
our Internet service  provider may adversely  affect our network's  performance.
Most of our system  interruptions  are due to heavy  Internet  traffic and minor
equipment  failures  which  generally  result in our  customers  being unable to
access their data for a few seconds or several  minutes.  However,  in September
2003,  our Internet  service  provider  suffered a failure which resulted in our
customers'  being unable to access our network and their data for a period of 25
hours. Our clients may become dissatisfied by any system failure that interrupts
our ability to provide our services to them or results in slower response times.
Our subscription agreements generally provide that our customers will be able to
access  their  data  during  certain  guaranteed  times.  If we fail to meet the
service  levels  specified  under  our  subscription  agreements  as a result of
repeated outages, the customer can terminate its agreement with us. Our business
interruption  insurance may not adequately compensate us for any losses that may
occur due to any failures in our system or interruptions in our services.



                                       11


BREACHES OF OUR NETWORK SECURITY COULD BE COSTLY.

      If  unauthorized  persons  penetrate  our  network  security,  they  could
misappropriate  proprietary  information or cause interruptions in our services.
We may be  required  to spend  capital and  resources  to protect  against or to
alleviate these problems. In addition,  because we host data for our clients, we
may be liable to any of those clients that experience losses due to our security
failures. As a result, security breaches could have a material adverse effect on
our business and the market price of our common shares may decline.

OUR BUSINESS MAY BE ADVERSELY  AFFECTED IF INTERNET  SERVICE  PROVIDERS  FAIL TO
PROVIDE  SATISFACTORY  SERVICE TO OUR CLIENTS TO ENABLE THEM TO USE OUR SERVICES
AND ACCESS JOB SEEKER CANDIDATES ON-LINE.

      Failure of Internet  service  providers  or on-line  service  providers to
provide access to the Internet to our clients and job seekers would prevent them
from accessing our Web board, which would cause our business to suffer.  Many of
the Internet  service  providers,  on-line service  providers and other Web site
operators on which we depend have  experienced  significant  service  slowdowns,
malfunctions, outages and capacity limitations. If users experience difficulties
using our services due to the fault of third  parties,  our reputation and brand
name could be harmed.

FAILURE OF THE  INTERNET  INFRASTRUCTURE  TO  SUPPORT  CURRENT  AND FUTURE  USER
ACTIVITY MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR BUSINESS.

      We cannot  assure you that the Internet  infrastructure  will  continue to
effectively  support  the  demands  placed on it as the  Internet  continues  to
experience  increased  numbers of users,  greater frequency of use and increased
bandwidth  requirements  of users.  In the past, the Internet has  experienced a
variety of outages and other delays.  The Internet is also subject to actions of
terrorists or hackers who may attempt to disrupt  specific web sites or Internet
traffic generally.  Any future outages or delays could affect the willingness of
employers to use our on-line  recruitment  offerings  and of job seekers to post
their  resumes on the  Internet.  If any of these events  occur,  our  business,
operating  results  and  financial  condition  could  be  materially   adversely
affected.



                                       12


WE MAY NOT EXPAND AND UPGRADE OUR  SYSTEMS  AND  HARDWARE IN A TIMELY  MANNER IN
ORDER TO ACCOMMODATE  GROWTH IN OUR BUSINESS,  WHICH COULD ADVERSELY  AFFECT OUR
BUSINESS.

      We must expand and  upgrade  our systems and network  hardware in order to
accommodate  growth  in our  business.  We may not plan any such  expansion  and
upgrades in a timely manner to satisfy  actual growth in our business.  If we do
not expand and upgrade our  systems and network  hardware in a timely  manner to
accommodate any growth in our business,  our business,  financial  condition and
operating results could be adversely affected.

THE RESALE OF COMMON SHARES PURSUANT TO THIS  REGISTRATION  STATEMENT AND FUTURE
REGISTRATION STATEMENTS COULD DEPRESS THE MARKET FOR OUR COMMON SHARES.


      As a result of our  registration of the resale of common shares under this
registration  statement,  10,211,625  common shares out of a total of 43,437,650
common shares  outstanding  (assuming  that all of the warrants  covered by this
prospectus  are exercised)  which would not otherwise be immediately  resaleable
may be resold upon the effectiveness of this registration  statement.  We cannot
predict the effect,  if any, that the resale of these  additional  securities or
the  availability  of these  additional  securities  for resale will have on the
market prices of our common shares  prevailing  from time to time. The resale of
these shares following the  effectiveness of this  registration  statement could
have an adverse effect on the market price of our common shares.


      We have granted  registration rights to holders of 8,072,064 common shares
(including  614,620 common shares currently being held in escrow).  These shares
currently represent approximately 19% of our outstanding common shares (assuming
that all of the warrants  covered by this  prospectus are  exercised).  If these
shares are  registered  by us,  their  sale could have an adverse  affect on the
market price of our common shares.

OUR COMMON  SHARES  HAVE  TRADED AT PRICES  BELOW  $1.00 AND COULD BE SUBJECT TO
DELISTING BY NASDAQ.

      Our common stock  currently  trades on the NASDAQ Small Cap Market and the
Boston Stock Exchange.  Under the NASDAQ  requirements,  a stock can be delisted
and not  allowed  to trade on the NASDAQ if the  closing  bid price of the stock
over a 30 consecutive  trading-day  period is less than $1.00.  The Boston Stock
Exchange, however, does not maintain a similar minimum price requirement. During
the fourth  quarter of fiscal  2003,  our common stock failed to meet the NASDAQ
minimum bid price  requirement  because the closing bid price for 30 consecutive
trading  days was below $1.00.  On May 20,  2003,  NASDAQ gave us notice of this
fact and gave us six months to cure this  problem or our common  stock  would be
delisted.  On July 8, 2003,  NASDAQ gave us notice  that we regained  compliance
with the  minimum  bid price rule  because  the  closing bid price of our common
shares  had been  $1.00 or more for at least 10  consecutive  trading  days.  No
assurance  can be given that the  closing  bid price of our common  shares  will
continue to satisfy the NASDAQ minimum bid price  requirements and thus continue
to trade on the NASDAQ Small Cap Market.  Although our common  shares may remain
listed on the Boston Stock Exchange,  if our common shares are delisted from the
NASDAQ Small Cap Market,  there may be a limited market for our shares,  trading
our stock may become more  difficult  and our share price  could  decrease  even
further.  If our common shares are not listed on a national  securities exchange
or NASDAQ,  potential  investors  may be  prohibited  from or be less  likely to
purchase  our common  shares,  limiting  the  trading  market for our stock even
further.



                                       13


WE MAY BECOME  SUBJECT TO THE SEC'S PENNY STOCK  RULES,  WHICH MAY  DECREASE THE
LIQUIDITY OF OUR COMMON SHARES AND  NEGATIVELY  IMPACT THE ABILITY OF PURCHASERS
OF OUR COMMON SHARES TO SELL OUR COMMON SHARES IN THE SECONDARY MARKET.

      SEC regulations  generally define a penny stock as an equity security that
has a market price of less than $5.00 per share,  subject to certain exceptions.
We are not currently  subject to the penny stock rules because our common shares
qualify for two separate  exceptions  to the SEC's penny stock rules.  The first
exception  from the penny stock rules for which we qualify is an  exception  for
companies  that have an equity  security  that is  quoted  on the  NASDAQ  Stock
Market.  Since our common  shares are traded on the NASDAQ Small Cap Market,  we
are not subject to the penny stock rules.  The second  exception  from the penny
stock  rules for which we qualify is an  exception  for  companies  that have an
average revenue of at least $6,000,000 for the last three years. Our revenue for
fiscal  2004,  fiscal  2003 and fiscal  2002 was  $17,166,880,  $17,836,990  and
$14,751,620,  respectively,  resulting in an average revenue of $16,585,163.  If
our common  shares are  delisted or removed from the NASDAQ Small Cap Market and
if we fail to meet the average revenue  exception to the penny stock rules,  our
common  shares  may  become  subject  to the penny  stock  rules,  which  impose
additional  sales practice  requirements on  broker-dealers  who sell our common
shares.  For transactions  covered by these rules, the broker-dealer must make a
special suitability  determination for the purchaser of such securities and have
received the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction prior to purchase.
In addition,  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 risks associated with it. If
our common shares were considered penny stock, the ability of  broker-dealers to
sell our  common  shares  and the  ability  of our  shareholders  to sell  their
securities in the  secondary  market would be limited.  As a result,  the market
liquidity  for our common shares would be severely and  adversely  affected.  We
cannot assure you that trading in our securities will not be subject to these or
other regulations in the future which would negatively affect the market for our
common shares.

THE PRICE OF OUR COMMON SHARES HISTORICALLY HAS BEEN VOLATILE, WHICH MAY MAKE IT
MORE  DIFFICULT  FOR YOU TO RESELL OUR COMMON SHARES WHEN YOU WANT AT PRICES YOU
FIND ATTRACTIVE.

      The market  price of our common  shares has been  highly  volatile  in the
past, and may continue to be volatile in the future. For example,  since June 1,
2002, the closing sale price of our common shares on the NASDAQ Small Cap Market
has  fluctuated  between $0.81 and $3.99 per share.  The  following  factors may
significantly affect the market price of our common shares:

o     quarterly variations in our results of operations;

o     announcement  of new products,  product  enhancements,  joint ventures and
      other alliances by our competitors or us;

o     technological innovations by our competitors or us;

o     general  market  conditions  or market  conditions  specific to particular
      industries; and

o     the  operating  and  stock  price  performance  of  other  companies  that
      investors may deem comparable to us.



                                       14


      In  addition,  the stock  market in  general,  and the  market  prices for
Internet-related  companies in particular,  have experienced  extreme volatility
that often has been unrelated to the operating  performance  of such  companies.
These broad market and industry  fluctuations  may adversely affect the price of
our common  shares,  regardless of our operating  performance.  (See Risk Factor
"Our common  shares  have  traded at prices  below $1.00 and could be subject to
delisting by NASDAQ.")

THE USE OF  PERFORMANCE-BASED  PAYMENT PROVISIONS IN OUR ACQUISITIONS MAY RESULT
IN COSTLY LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.


      We  often  require  that a  portion  of the  total  purchase  price in our
acquisitions  be contingent upon the acquired  company's  achievement of certain
performance-based   milestones.   We   believe   that  the  use  of   contingent
performance-based  payment provisions more closely matches the price we pay with
the value we receive.  However, the use of these provisions has resulted and may
continue to result in disputes  over  whether the  performance-based  milestones
have been  achieved.  Resolving  these  disputes  could  result in costly  legal
proceedings and divert management attention.  We are currently in a lawsuit with
the former  shareholders  of  6FigureJobs.com,  Inc.,  a company we  acquired in
October  2001.  Under the terms of the purchase  agreement  pursuant to which we
acquired 6FigureJobs.com, 323,625 common shares were held in escrow to be issued
to the former shareholders of 6FigureJobs.com  provided that certain revenue and
profit targets were achieved. The Company determined that the revenue and profit
targets were not achieved,  but the representative of the former 6FigureJobs.com
shareholders disputed that determination and filed a lawsuit against the Company
with regard to the escrowed  shares.  Although the Company  continues to believe
that such revenue and profit  targets were not met, we cannot be certain that we
will  prevail in this dispute and that the  escrowed  common  shares will not be
released.  We have incurred legal expenses of approximately  $465,000 to date in
connection  with  the  6FigureJobs.com  suit  and a  similar  dispute  with  the
shareholders  of  Purecarbon,  Inc., a company we acquired in August  2003.  The
Purecarbon dispute was resolved in our favor in January 2004.


WE DEPEND ON OUR KEY EMPLOYEES TO MANAGE OUR BUSINESS EFFECTIVELY, AND IF WE ARE
UNABLE TO RETAIN OUR KEY EMPLOYEES, OUR BUSINESS MAY BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED.

      Our success depends on the efforts,  abilities and expertise of our senior
management and other key employees,  including in particular, Michael Mullarkey,
our  President  and  Chief  Executive  Officer,  and David  Polansky,  our Chief
Financial Officer.  There can be no assurance that we will be able to retain our
key  employees.  In 2003,  Andrew  Hinchliff,  our Senior Vice  President  North
American Sales, Arthur Halloran,  our President and Chief Operating Officer, and
Paul  Haggard,  our Chief  Financial  Officer,  resigned  from their  respective
positions with us. Mr. Halloran,  however, continues to serve as a member of our
board of directors.  While we have hired new or appointed  existing employees to
fulfill the duties  previously  performed  by Messrs.  Hinchliff,  Halloran  and
Haggard,  if any of our key employees  leave before  suitable  replacements  are
found,  there  could be an  adverse  effect  on our  business.  There  can be no
assurance  that  suitable   replacements   could  be  hired  without   incurring
substantial additional costs, or at all.

                                 USE OF PROCEEDS

      All of the net proceeds  from the sale of our common shares by the selling
shareholders will go to them upon the sale of such shares.  Accordingly, we will
not  receive  any  proceeds  from the sales of our common  shares by the selling
shareholders.  We will, however,  receive the respective exercise price upon the
exercise of warrants which may occur prior to the sale of the underlying  common
shares by a selling  shareholder.  Assuming that all of the warrants  covered by
this prospectus are exercised for cash, the aggregate amount of proceeds that we
would receive from the exercises of the warrants is  $1,690,857.51.  We will use
these proceeds for general corporate purposes.

                              SELLING SHAREHOLDERS

      The selling  shareholders  are not under any obligation to sell all or any
portion of their common shares,  nor are the selling  shareholders  obligated to
sell any of their common shares  immediately  under this  prospectus.  We cannot
estimate  the  number of the  common  shares  that  will be held by the  selling
shareholders after completion of this offering. However, for the purposes of the
table below, we have assumed that,  after  completion of this offering,  none of
the  common  shares  covered  by this  prospectus  will  be held by the  selling
shareholders.


      The  following  table  provides  certain  information  with respect to the
common shares  beneficially owned by the selling  shareholders as of December 9,
2004.  This  information is based on  information  provided to us by the selling
shareholders. Except as noted in the footnotes below, no selling shareholder has
had a material relationship,  or has held any position or office, with us or any
of our  predecessors or affiliates  within the last three years. For purposes of
presenting  beneficial  ownership  data in the table,  we have  assumed  that no
selling  shareholder  acquires  additional  common  shares after the date on the
cover page of this prospectus.

            of  December  9, 2004,  including  1,046,549  common  shares held in
            escrow under acquisition  agreements.  We have computed  "beneficial
            ownership" in accordance Rule 13d-3 promulgated by the SEC under the
            Securities  Exchange  Act  of  1934  for  purposes  of  this  table.
            Therefore,  the  table  reflects  a  person  as  having  "beneficial

            such  shares  within 60 days of December  9, 2004.  For  purposes of
            computing the percentage of  outstanding  common shares held by each
            person  or group of  persons  named  above,  we have  assumed  to be
            outstanding  any  security  which such person or persons has or have
            the right to acquire within that 60-day period. However,  securities
            that may be acquired  within that 60-day period are not deemed to be

                              PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

      The common shares which may be sold by the selling shareholders and any of
their  pledgees,  donees,  transferees or other  successors-in-interest,  may be
disposed of from time to time in one or more transactions, which may involve:

      o     ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker
            solicits purchasers;

      o     sales on the NASDAQ Small Cap Market,  Boston Stock Exchange, or any
            other principal  market on which the common shares trade at the time
            of sale, including directly with a market maker acting as principal;

      o     privately-negotiated  transactions,  which  include  direct sales to
            purchasers and sales effected through agents;

      o     a block trade in which the broker or dealer will attempt to sell the
            common  shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the
            block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

      o     purchases  by a broker  or dealer as  principal  and  resale by that
            broker or dealer for its own account;

      o     an  exchange  distribution  in  accordance  with  the  rules of that
            exchange or transactions in the over-the-counter market;

      o     short sales entered into after the date of this prospectus;

      o     the pledge of the  security  for any loan or  obligation,  including
            pledges to brokers or dealers who may, from time to time, themselves
            sell or  transfer  the  common  shares  or  their  interest  in such
            securities;

      o     the  transfer of the common  shares by the selling  shareholders  to
            their partners, members or shareholders;

      o     a combination of any of the above; or

      o     any other method permitted by applicable law.

      The sale price of the common shares pursuant to this prospectus may be:

      o     a fixed price;

      o     the market price prevailing at the time of sale;

      o     a price related to such prevailing market price;

      o     a negotiated price; or

      o     at any  other  prices as the  selling  shareholders  may  determine,
            including sales below the market price.



                                       23


      The selling  shareholders may engage  broker-dealers to participate in the
sales. Such broker-dealers may receive  compensation in the form of underwriting
discounts,  concessions or commissions from the selling  shareholders and/or the
purchasers  of the  shares for whom  broker-dealers  may act as agent or to whom
they may sell as  principals  or both  (which  compensation  as to a  particular
broker-dealer may be less than or in excess of customary commissions).

      In addition,  the selling shareholders may enter into hedging transactions
with  broker-dealers  who may engage in short sales of our common  shares in the
course of hedging the positions they assume with the selling  shareholders.  The
selling  shareholders  may also enter  into  option or other  transactions  with
broker-dealers  that require the delivery to such  broker-dealers  of our common
shares, which shares may be resold thereafter pursuant to this prospectus.

      The common shares  covered by this  prospectus may also be sold in private
transactions  pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, rather than
pursuant to this prospectus. The selling shareholders have the sole and absolute
discretion  not to  accept  any  purchase  offer or make any sale of the  common
shares if they deem the purchase  price to be  unsatisfactory  at any particular
time.

      In  order to  comply  with  the  securities  laws of  certain  states,  if
applicable,  our common  shares may be sold in such  jurisdictions  only through
registered or licensed brokers or dealers.  In addition,  in certain states, our
common  shares  may not be sold  unless  such  shares  have been  registered  or
qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration
or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.

      Selling  shareholders that are broker-dealers  are statutory  underwriters
under the  Securities  Act of 1933.  Under  certain  circumstances,  the selling
shareholders and any broker-dealers that act in connection with the sales of the
shares may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of Section 2(11) of
the Securities Act of 1933, and any commissions  received by them and any profit
on the  sale of the  shares  as  principals  may be  deemed  to be  underwriting
discounts and commissions under the Securities Act of 1933. Selling shareholders
who are "underwriters" within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act
of  1933  will  be  subject  to  the  prospectus  delivery  requirements  of the
Securities  Act of 1933.  Three of our  selling  shareholders,  William  Blair &
Company,  LLC, Sands  Brothers & Co. LTD and Legend  Merchant  Group,  Inc., are
registered broker-dealers. Certain of our selling shareholders are affiliates of
broker-dealers,  including Crestview Capital Fund, L.P.,  Crestview Capital Fund
II, L.P.,  Crestview Capital Offshore Fund, Inc., Sands Brothers Venture Capital
IV LLC,  Sands  Brothers  Venture  Capital III LLC,  Smithfield  Fiduciary  LLC,
William  Blair Small Cap Growth  Fund and Gilad  Ottensoser.  Each such  selling
shareholder purchased the shares in the ordinary course of business,  and at the
time of purchase  the seller had no  agreement  or  understandings,  directly or
indirectly, with any person to distribute the shares.

                               RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

      On June 21, 2004, we acquired  certain  assets of  Peoplebonus.com  LLC, a
resume management  services  provider.  As consideration for the sale, we issued
180,506  common shares  valued at $485,561,  including  108,304  shares that are
being held in escrow and will be released if certain revenue and cash generation
targets of the acquired business are met or for any  indemnification  claims for
breaches of representations and warranties.  In addition,  we made cash payments
of $130,000,  $25,000 of which is being held in escrow, and assumed a promissory
note for $100,000.



                                       24


      On March 17,  2004,  we acquired  certain  assets of  Peopleview,  Inc., a
provider  of  performance   management  and  corporate  compliance  systems.  As
consideration for the sale, we issued Peopleview 246,900 common shares valued at
$688,851,   including  50,000  common  shares  that  were  held  in  escrow  but
subsequently  released as certain  representations  were  satisfactorily met. In
addition,  we made a cash payment of $250,000 and we issued Peopleview a warrant
to purchase 50,000 of our common shares at an exercise price of $3.00 per share.

      In  connection  with our  acquisition  of Kadiri,  Inc.  on May 28,  2004,
950,000  of the  5,400,000  shares to which the  shareholders  of Kadiri  may be
entitled  as  consideration  were  placed in escrow.  Of such  escrowed  shares,
500,000 are being held subject to the  confirmation  of certain revenue and cash
generation  targets  during each fiscal  quarter  through  November 20, 2005 and
100,000 shares are being held to cover indemnity  obligations  covering breaches
of certain representations and warranties contained in the merger documents. The
release of such shares is governed by the terms of the escrow agreement covering
the escrow of such shares.  Our Board of Directors does not have discretion over
the issuance of shares held in escrow.  The remaining  350,000  shares that were
held in escrow are now in the  process  of being  released  upon our  receipt of
appropriate  letters of  transmittal  from the  shareholders  of  Kadiri.  These
escrowed  shares are being  released as a result of the  resolution of a dispute
between  Kadiri  and  one  of  its  clients,  Bank  of  America  Technology  and
Operations,  Inc. The dispute arose from Kadiri's license of software to Bank of
America, for which Bank of America prepaid prior to the software's  installation
and  implementation.  The license  agreement  between Kadiri and Bank of America
stated that if the  software did not perform  according  to its  specifications,
then Bank of America could  receive a partial  refund of the license fee. As the
software met certain  thresholds,  the maximum  refund was reduced.  At the same
time, Kadiri and Bank of America entered into a maintenance  agreement  pursuant
to which Bank of America agreed to pay Kadiri approximately  $650,000 for future
maintenance  services  with  respect to the  software.  After the  software  was
installed, Bank of America claimed that the software did not meet certain of its
specifications  and demanded a partial refund under the license  agreement.  The
dispute was settled on May 19, 2004 when the parties  entered  into an amendment
to the Software License, Implementation, Customization and Maintenance Agreement
pursuant  to which Bank of America  agreed to drop its refund  demand and remove
the refund contingency in its entirety (the maximum potential refund at the time
of the settlement was  approximately  $1 million) in exchange for a reduction in
the amount payable under the maintenance agreement from $650,000 to $375,000.

      On July 16, 2004, we sold an aggregate of $10,000,000 of our common shares
in a private  placement  of  4,444,439  shares to  William  Blair & Company  and
entities for which it serves as investment  advisor and  Crestview  Capital Fund
L.P. The private  placement was exempt from  registration  under Rule 506 of the
Securities Act of 1933.


      On July 27, 2004,  we acquired  Bravanta,  Inc., a provider of  enterprise
incentive and recognition programs,  through a merger for 2,427,125 unregistered
common shares. In connection with the merger, 400,000 of such shares are held in
escrow to cover indemnity  obligations  covering breaches of representations and
warranties  contained in the merger  agreement.  Our Board of Directors does not
have discretion  over the issuance of shares held in escrow.  In addition to the
2,427,125  shares  already  issued,  244,939 common shares will be issued to the
former  management of Bravanta upon receipt by us of completed and  satisfactory
accredited  investor  questionnaires and other related  documentation from them.
Subject to our  receipt of such  documentation,  these  shares will be issued no
later than immediately prior to the filing of a registration  statement pursuant
to the  terms  of a  registration  rights  agreement  that was  entered  into in
connection with the acquisition of Bravanta. Under the terms of the registration
rights agreement, we are required to use our best efforts to file a registration
statement  covering  the  resale of the  shares  issued in  connection  with the
Bravanta  acquisition by September 30, 2004.  Since we have not yet received all
of the required  documentation,  we have not yet filed a registration  statement
with respect to the Bravanta shares.

ITEM 15. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

      Under the Canada  Business  Corporations  Act,  except with  respect to an
action by us or on behalf of us to  procure a judgment  in our favor,  we have a
right to indemnify  any of our  officers or directors or any former  officers or
directors, who act or have acted at our request as officers or directors against
any costs,  charges or expenses  for amounts  paid by him to settle an action in
respect of any civil,  criminal or administrative  action or proceeding to which
he is made a party by reason of having been our officer or director if:

            (a)   he has acted honestly and in good faith with a view toward our
                  best interests; and

            (b)   in  the  case  of  a  criminal  or  administrative  action  or
                  proceeding  that is  enforced  by a monetary  penalty,  he had
                  reasonable grounds for believing his conduct was lawful.

      We make the determination in (a) and (b) above.

      Further, we may, with the approval of a court, indemnify a person who is a
director,  officer or former director or officer with respect to an action by or
on behalf of us to procure a  judgment  in our favor to which he is made a party
by reason of having been our officer or director, against all costs, charges and
expenses reasonably incurred by him in connection with that action if:

            (a)   he has acted honestly and in good faith with a view toward our
                  best interests; and

            (b)   in  the  case  of  a  criminal  or  administrative  action  or
                  proceeding  that is  enforced  by a monetary  penalty,  he had
                  reasonable grounds for believing his conduct was lawful.

      A director, officer or former director or officer of ours is also entitled
to  indemnification  from us with  respect to all costs,  charges  and  expenses
reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense of any civil, criminal
or administrative action or proceeding to which he is a party by reason of being
or having been a director or officer of ours, if he:



                                       29


            (a)   was not judged by any court or other  competent  authority  to
                  have  committed  any fault or omitted to do anything  that the
                  individual ought to have done;

            (b)   acted  honestly  and in good faith with a view toward our best
                  interests; and

            (c)   in  the  case  of  a  criminal  or  administrative  action  or
                  proceeding  that  was  enforced  by a  monetary  penalty,  had
                  reasonable grounds for believing that his conduct was lawful.

      In addition, our by-laws provide that no director or officer is liable for
the acts of any other  director or officer or employee or for any loss or damage
to us unless it is caused by his own willful  neglect or default.  However,  the
limitation  against  liability  does not extend or grant any director or officer
protection  against  the breach of any law.  The  by-laws  also  provide  for an
indemnity   similar  to  the  provisions   contained  in  the  Canada   Business
Corporations Act and subject to the same limitations.

      Our by-laws provide that, subject to the Canada Business Corporations Act,
we can  purchase  and  maintain  indemnity  insurance  for  the  benefit  of our
directors and officers as may be determined  from time to time by our directors.
We maintain a policy of  insurance  under which our  directors  and officers are
insured,  subject to the limits of the policy,  against  certain  losses arising
from claims made  against them as officers  and  directors  and by reason of any
acts or omissions  covered under the policy,  in their respective  capacities as
directors or officers, including liability under the Securities Act of 1933.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS.

      (a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

            (1) To file,  during any  period in which  offers or sales are being
made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

                  (i) to include any prospectus  required by Section 10(a)(3) of
the Securities Act of 1933;

                  (ii) to reflect in the  prospectus any facts or events arising
after the  effective  date of the  registration  statement  (or the most  recent
post-effective  amendment  thereof)  which,  individually  or in the  aggregate,
represent a fundamental  change in the information set forth in the registration
statement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of
securities  offered (if the total dollar value of  securities  offered would not
exceed that which was  registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of
the estimated  maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in
the  aggregate,  the  changes  in volume and price  represent  no more than a 20
percent  change  in the  maximum  aggregate  offering  price  set  forth  in the
"Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement.

                  (iii) to include any material  information with respect to the
plan of distribution not previously  disclosed in the registration  statement or
any material change to such information in the registration statement;

provided,  however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the
information  required  to be  included in a  post-effective  amendment  by those
paragraphs  is  contained  in periodic  reports  filed with or  furnished to the
Securities and Exchange  Commission by the registrant  pursuant to Section 13 or
Section 15(d) of the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934 that are  incorporated  by
reference in the registration statement.

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

            (3)  To  remove  from  registration  by  means  of a  post-effective
amendment  any of the  securities  being  registered  which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering.

      (b) The undersigned  registrant  hereby  undertakes  that, for purposes of
determining  any liability  under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the
registrant's  annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange  Act of 1934 that is  incorporated  by  reference  in the  registration
statement  shall be deemed to be a new  registration  statement  relating to the
securities  offered  therein,  and the offering of such  securities at that time
shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

      (c)  Insofar  as  indemnification   for  liabilities   arising  under  the
Securities Act of 1933 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  Securities  and
Exchange  Commission such  indemnification is against public policy as expressed
in the Act and is,  therefore,  unenforceable.  In the  event  that a claim  for
indemnification  against  such  liabilities  (other  than  the  payment  by  the
registrant of 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 Act and will
be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

                                   SIGNATURES


      Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant
certifies  that it has  reasonable  grounds to believe  that it meets all of the
requirements  for  filing  on Form S-3 and has  duly  caused  this  registration
statement  to be  signed  on its  behalf  by  the  undersigned,  thereunto  duly
authorized, in the City of Ottawa, Province of Ontario, on December 13, 2004.
