On July 12, 2002, MSAC merged with and into MSS pursuant to the Merger Agreement (the "MSS/MSAC Merger"). The MSS/MSAC Merger will be accounted for as a reorganization. Prior to the MSS/MSAC Merger and in an effort to satisfy the conditions of the Merger Agreement, MSS had entered into agreements to acquire certain entities: Digit Digital Experiences Limited, a United Kingdom corporation ("Digit"), Global Systems and Technologies Corp., a Virginia corporation ("GSS"), PFA Research Limited, a UK corporation ("PFAR") and Prime Marketing Publications Limited, a UK corporation ("PMP") (collectively, the "Acquired Entities") which MSS believed complemented its business of providing computer solutions and consulting. The Acquired Entities are described more particularly below. We intend to pursue further acquisitions with the goal of becoming a provider of software solutions and technology consulting. We intend to focus on acquiring companies that complement MSS's existing assets. 1. Mechanics of the Merger. The separate corporate existence of MSAC ceased when the Certificate of Merger was filed with the Delaware Secretary of State on July 12, 2002, and MSS was the surviving corporation. The charter documents of MSS are the charter documents of the surviving corporation. 2. Share Conversion. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, we issued 10,986,600 shares of our common stock to the MSS shareholders in exchange for all the issued and outstanding shares of MSS common stock. The holders of MSS common stock immediately prior to the MSS/MSAC Merger will receive one share of MSG stock for each share of MSS stock owned by such holder. The number of shares issued to the MSS shareholders may be reduced pro rata if the following occurs: If the net annual earnings for the year ending December 31, 2001 for the entities acquired pursuant to the Merger Agreement ("Acquired Entities"), do not equal or exceed $2,000,000, then the number of shares issuable under the Merger Agreement shall be reduced, pro rata, by the number of shares equal to the total shortfall. Two of our principal shareholders, Courtney Smith and Angela Chen, have agreed that any shortfall will be taken only from their holdings and will not reduce the holdings of any other shareholders. For example, if the total net earnings of the Acquired Entities are $1,800,000, the shortfall is 10% of $2,000,000, such that the total number of shares issuable to Mr. Smith and Ms. Chen under the Merger Agreement would be reduced to account for that 10%. Net earnings are to be determined according to U.S. GAAP, as verified by our auditor. 3. Share Restrictions. The shares of MSG common stock issued pursuant to the Merger Agreement shall bear a restricted legend indicating that the shares are "restricted" securities and are not transferable unless certain conditions are satisfied pursuant to applicable securities laws. In addition to any restrictions on transfer pursuant to applicable securities laws, the shares of MSG common stock issued pursuant to the Merger shall have the following additional restrictions: 3 a) No shares of MSG common stock issued pursuant to the Merger Agreement may be transferred within 12 months of the Closing Date. b) After 12 months from the Closing Date, 50% of the holder's shares may be transferred subject to the provisions of the applicable securities laws. c) After 24 months from the Closing Date, the remaining 50% of the holder's shares may be transferred subject to the provisions of the applicable securities laws. In addition to the above restrictions and any restrictions on transfer pursuant to the applicable securities laws, MSS's officers, directors and any of their agents, relatives, affiliates and any entities controlled by MSS's officers, directors, and any holders of more than 5% of MSG's stock issued pursuant to the MSS/MSAC Merger ("MSG Insiders") shall be subject to the following additional restrictions: a) No shares of MSG common stock issued pursuant to the Merger may be transferred within 12 months of the issuance pursuant to the Merger. b) After 12 months from the Closing Date, 25% of MSG common stock held by an MSG Insider may be transferred, subject to any applicable securities regulations. c) After 18 months from the Closing Date, an additional 25% of the MSG Insider's MSG common stock may be transferred, subject to any applicable securities regulations. d) After 24 months from the Closing Date, an additional 25% of the MSG Insider's MSG common stock may be transferred, subject to any applicable securities regulations. e) After 30 months from the Closing Date, the remaining 25% of the MSG Insider's MSG common stock may be transferred, subject to any applicable securities regulations. 4. Financing. On July 12, 2002, and pursuant to the Merger Agreement, we issued three convertible debentures to three investors for a total of $2,000,000. One of those investors had previously loaned us $350,000, which we had loaned to MSS pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Amendment No.1 and Amendment No. 2. Upon the closing of the MSS/MSAC Merger, the investor agreed to convert that promissory note in exchange for a convertible debenture in the amount of $350,000. The terms of those convertible debentures are as follows: a) The debentures shall bear interest of eight percent (8%). b) Interest and principal shall be due and payable on July 12, 2003. c) The debenture holders shall have the right, at any time on or prior to July 11, 2003, to convert that debt into one share of our common stock at $2.25 per share and one warrant to purchase one share of our common stock at $2.50 per share. d) Upon seventy five (75) days prior written notice, we have the right to require and compel the debenture holders to convert the principal indebtedness into shares of common stock at such time as our historical net annual income, evidenced by reviewed financial statements, exceeds Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000). Merger of MetaSource Systems UK and MSS. Immediately prior to the MSS/MSAC Merger, MSS merged with MetaSource Systems UK, a United Kingdom corporation ("MSS UK"). MSS became the surviving entity in that merger. Courtney Smith, our sole officer and director, is a director and a shareholder of MSS UK. The Agreement of Merger between MSS and MSS UK is attached to this Form 8-K as Exhibit 2.6. MSS agreed to issue 986,600 shares of MSS common stock to the shareholders of MSS UK in exchange for all the issued and outstanding stock of MSS UK. The merger between MSS and MSS UK will be accounted for as a reorganization. MetaSource Systems (MSS/MSS UK) Business Description.

Pursuant to an acquisition agreement (the "GSS Agreement"), MSS obtained the right to acquire GSS. The Agreement of Merger between MSS, GSS and Stockholders of GSS is attached as Exhibit 2.5. According to the GSS Agreement, the shareholders of GSS will be issued shares of MSS's common stock (the "GSS Exchange Shares") in exchange for all the issued and outstanding stock of GSS. Each GSS shareholder is to be issued GSS Exchange Shares based on their pro rata ownership of GSS stock. The ultimate number of GSS Exchange Shares to be issued to the GSS shareholders will be calculated using the following formula: ADD--the average of 5 times GSS net earnings from March 2001 through March 2002 with 5 times the GSS net earnings from March 2002 through March 2003, and DIVIDE BY the average trading price (defined hereinafter) of MSS's common stock on the first twenty days of public trading of MSS's shares. "Net earnings" are to be determined by MSS's auditor using U.S. GAAP. The "average trading price" shall be calculated with reference to the average of high and low prices on the first twenty days of public trading as reported on finance.yahoo.com. 10 The GSS shareholders agreed to place all of the GSS Exchange Shares in escrow for a period of one year. Within 60 days of July 1, 2003, additional GSS Exchange Shares will be added according to the formula above if GSS's net earnings for the period beginning March 2002 and ending March 2003 are greater than the average of March 2001 through March 2002 GSS earnings. If GSS net earnings for the period beginning March 2002 and ending March 2003 are less than the average of March 2001 through March 2002, GSS earnings, the appropriate number of GSS Exchange Shares will be subtracted according to the formula above.

Merger of Kensington Consulting Acquisition Corporation and Kensington Group, Inc. Immediately following the MSS/MSAC Merger, and also on July 12, 2002, our wholly-owned subsidiary, Kensington Consulting Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("KCAC") filed a Certificate of Merger to merge into and with (the "KG/KCAC Merger") Kensington Group, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation ("KG"). KCAC was to be the surviving entity and take the name "Kensington Management Consulting, Inc."("KMC"). The KG/KCAC Merger is attached as Exhibit 2.7 and was consummated with the following terms and conditions: Prior to the consummation of KG/KCAC Merger, Norma LaRosa, officer and director of KG, entered into a Share Purchase Agreement whereby she agreed to purchase all the stock of Efrem Mallach. Norma LaRosa ("KG Shareholder") entered into the KG/KCAC Merger Agreement as the sole shareholder of KG. Pursuant to that agreement, the KG Shareholder shall receive an amount of our common stock (the "KG Exchange Shares") according to the following formula: KG's net income for the calendar year ended December 31, 2001 (the "2001 Income"), multiplied by five (5), divided by the average between the high, low and closing price of shares of our common stock on July 16, 2002 (the "Average Price"), but not more than $5.50 per share. "Net Income" shall be determined by our auditor in accordance with U.S. GAAP applying the accounting policies and procedures historically used by KG. The KG Exchange Shares shall be held in escrow as described below. On or before August 30, 2003, the KG Exchange Shares issued to the KG Shareholder will be adjusted according to the following formula: as soon as practicable after June 30, 2003, KG will determine its net income for the period from July 1, 2002 to June 30, 2003 (the "2003 Income"). If the average of the 2003 Income and the 2001 Income exceeds, by more than 10%, the 2001 Income, then the KG Shareholder will be issued additional KG Exchange Shares determined by multiplying (A) the difference between (i) the average of the 2003 Income and the 2001 Income and (ii) the 2001 Income by (B) 5 and dividing that product by the Average Price. If the average of KG's 2003 Income and the 2001 Income is more than 10% less than the 2001 Income, then the KG Shareholder shall return to us that number of KG Exchange Shares determined by multiplying (A) the difference between (i) the 2001 Income and (ii) the average of the 2001 Income and the 2003 Income by (B) 5 and dividing that product by the Average Price. 11 In the event that the average of 2003 Income and the 2001 Income exceeds the 2001 Income by more than 10%, we have agreed to issue additional KG Exchange Shares, as determined herein, within 5 business days of the determination of the 2003 Income, but in no event later than August 30, 2003. In the event that the 2001 Income exceeds the average of the 2001 Income and 2003 Income by more than 10%, we will receive that number of KG Exchange Shares determined in accordance with the formula above within 5 business days of the determination of the 2003 Income, but in no event later than August 30, 2003. In the event that the average of the 2003 Income and 2001 Income is within 10% of (either plus or minus) the 2001 Income, there shall be no adjustment. Additionally, certificates representing 50% of the immediately issued KG Exchange Shares shall be delivered to an escrow agent and certificates evidencing and representing the remaining 50% of the immediately issued KG Exchange Shares shall be delivered to the KG Shareholder pursuant to the provisions of the KG/KCAC Merger Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of an employment agreement, Norma LaRosa, co-founder of KG, has agreed to serve as the chief executive officer of KMC, which is now our wholly-owned subsidiary.
